If you think Sangria is passé, populist and puerile, think again. Red wine or white wine punch (called Sangria Blanco) packs bursts of vitamin-enriched fruit with wine, brandy or rum, and can be served as a hot mulled drink in winter, or with sparkling soda or lemonade as a long summer refresher.
Did you know that sangria (or a version of it) is one of the worlds oldest known alcoholic beverages? Hippocras was made from wine, and enriched with spices, notably cinnamon and is traditionally attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates (in the 5th century BC). It was first mentioned in texts from the mid 12th century onwards. Lacking fresh water options, many European households would drink alcoholic beverages, livened up with spices and fruits, safe in the knowledge that the alcohol would kill any bacteria.
Spain has been supplying wines from several varieties of red and white grape since 200BC when it was first actively planted with vineyards by the Romans. The local Spanish sold their best wines, reserving only a few bottles for their red wine punches, known as Sangria. Usually this meant Rioja, and later Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon blends, which formed the traditional sangria made popular on countless package holidays for tourists in the 70s. Since then, sangria has appeared in white wine versions, sparkling with cava, dashed with soda water or extended with fruit juices (particularly peach or nectarine in Southern Spain where it is called zurra) and has become synonymous with tapas, or that most typical Valencian meal paella.
Experts agree that the flavour improves with time; sangria is best left chilled overnight to allow the fruit infusion to blossom. Although many restaurants use cheap local house wines, connoisseurs say that sangria should be made with a good-quality wine (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rioja or Californian Zinfandel) so as not to be outweighed by the fruit flavours, juice, soda water and ice. Experimenting with fruits is the key. Anything from cranberry and orange, to pear, peach, lime and grapefruit can give your sangria a twist. For the white wine version, you might want to combine it with apple or grape juice and a small bunch of fresh mint. For sangria with a real kick, add gin, triple sec or brandy, and if the result is too potent, mellow it out with some ginger ale, or the ubiquitous Spanish casera. The best part of sangria is taking your favourite fruits or varying it according to the seasons, and surprising guests with subtle flavour differences.
For a hot Halloween punch, Jamie Oliver recommends the addition of cinnamon, vanilla pods and star anise, making a hot syrupy concoction of the fruit, caster sugar and spices first, and adding the red wine after. Mulled wine is more commonly a Northern European drink, stemming from the Swedish Glögg or German Glühwein but the influence of the Chilean Navegado, (which is heated wine, spiced with cinnamon sticks, orange slices, cloves and sugar) has led the Spanish to adopt sangria for the same purpose. Although generally a citrus fruit drink, some recipes for sangria suggest adding sliced apple as it absorbs some parts of the wine that dont taste great, which is why you must allow the fruit time to soak.
If you are planning a Mexican meal, you can even spice your sangria with jalapeños or chilli sauce, (when it becomes known as sangrita) or try a Valentine surprise with rosé wine and soft berry fruits. Just as the Spanish language has travelled the world over, blending with local influences, so can sangria adapt to our changing culinary and gastronomic tastes. It need never remind you of teenage hangovers in Benidorm again!
Spanish-style Sangria and Sangria Blanco
- 1 or 2 bottles of red (Rioja/Valdepeñas) or white wine (Chardonnay/Albariño) - 1 orange (grapefruit/mandarins/peach/nectarine)- 1 lemon (lime/pear/kiwi/handful of cranberries or blueberries)- 1 apple (optional) - 4 tsp of sugar - 1/2 cup soda water or Spanish casera- Large pitcher or bowl of ice - 4 shots of dark rum, triple sec or brandy - Cinnamon sticks, vanilla pods, or cloves in an orange
Preparation: Slice or chop the fruit into wedges and soak in the wine in the fridge overnight or for a couple of hours. Pour the wine, soda water and brandy into a punch bowl. Add half the sugar, a sprinkle of the cinnamon, the vanilla pods and the spiced orange. Taste. If it doesn't taste sweet enough, add more sugar. Add ice and serve. To serve, spoon fruits into glasses or goblets and pour over the spiced wine.
Note: If you are preparing sangria immediately before serving and you like it fizzy, pour the soda water or casera into the bowl first and pour the other ingredients in slowly. If you make the white wine or Sangria Blanco version, use appropriately pale colour fruits. If you want spicy Sangrita, add one diced jalapeño chilli and a dash of Tabasco or pepper sauce, to taste.
Halloween Sangria
- 1 bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot or a Spanish Rioja)- 1 peeled sliced orange (add curled zest to taste into cooking pot) - 1 peeled sliced lemon (add curled zest to taste in cooking pot)- 1 tsp ground nutmeg- 2 tsp ground ginger- 5 whole cloves- 3 cinnamon sticks- 1/2 cup sugar (or honey can be substituted)- 2/3 cup brandy or cognac- 1/2 cup water
Preparation: Combine all ingredients in a large pot and gently warm the ingredients on low to medium heat (avoid boiling), for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure that the honey or sugar has completely dissolved. When the wine is steaming and the ingredients have blended well it is ready to serve. Ladle into mugs, garnish with a blood orange segment and enjoy!

Police Minister Bill Byrne and Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon today launched three new police vehicles which will transform into instant command centres at major crime scenes in regional Queensland.
Assistant Commissioner Condon said the three new vehicles were in addition to seven Mobile Police Facility vehicles already in the QPS fleet. The most recent Mobile Police Facility was delivered to Mount Isa in February 2016.
"Having the ability to access vital capabilities and technology directly at the scene of a crime or incident is vital to modern day policing," Assistant Commissioner Condon said.
"Mobile Police Facility vehicles have proven to be invaluable assets, essentially giving police responders and coordinators the same connectivity they would have at a police station.
"We have undertaken extensive research and consultation with operational staff who have used the vehicles in our current fleet and looked at ways to improve their capability.
"Following feedback from officers, we have upgraded the telephone system by installing an additional service connection and improving the data transfer rate to the QPS computer network. The system now provides a wi-fi hotspot surrounding the vehicle to allow the use of QPS mobile devices.
"The vehicle has had a significant upgrade in the external scene lighting and two of the vehicles being launched today have all wheel drive capability to allow access to areas previously out of reach due to the nature of the terrain."
The vehicle's capabilities include:
• Mercedes Benz Sprinter 519CDI LWB Van
• 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine with 7spd Automatic
• Mix of standard 2WD and AWD drivetrains (depending on location)
• Six Airbag SRS system with seatbelt pre-tensioner
• Satellite phone and radio systems providing voice communications throughout the state;
• Systems to allow direct communications to other emergency services, marine vessels and aircraft;
• Designated work area for a Police Forward Commander;
• Two internal workstations fitted with interconnected computers, wirelessly connected to the QPS networks through encrypted software systems;
• Storage for equipment necessary to establish and operate a Police Forward Command Post;
• A trailer with a large capacity 15kva generator capable of powering a Police Forward Command Post with sufficient fuel capacity to operate for 48 hours.

Screening alert for 'at risk' women
Women who are genetically predisposed to breast cancer should avoid having mammograms, a controversial study suggests.
Researchers in Germany believe the low-energy X-rays used in mammograms may increase the risks of these women developing the disease.
But British experts have criticised the study and warned women that mammography plays a key role in spotting breast cancer early.
An estimated one in 200 women have mutations in the so-called BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which have been linked to breast cancer.
At the moment, doctors encourage these women to have annual mammogram check-ups.
However, Dr Marlis Frankenberg-Schwager and colleagues at the University of Gottingen said their findings raise questions about this policy.
Damaged genes
They found that mammograms are nearly three times more likely to cause genes to mutate compared to conventional X-rays.
Writing in the International Journal of Radiation Biology, the researchers said the low-energy X-rays could damage the genes in 16 out of every 100 million cells.
They said women with healthy BRCA genes were not at risk because there was only a remote chance that both of the breast cancer genes could be damaged by the screening.
But they said the risks were "big" for women who have mutated BRCA genes.
"It's a big risk for these women," Dr Frankenburg-Schwager told New Scientist magazine. "It is worrying."
She added: "Women with an increased breast cancer risk should avoid frequent and early mammography screening."
However, the UK's National Radiological Protection Board rejected the suggestion that women who are predisposed to breast cancer should not have mammograms.
Dr Roger Cox, of the NRPB, said the German research was speculative.
"I don't believe these findings have any implications for breast cancer screening in general.
"With regard to women who are genetically susceptible to breast cancer, they should probably be considered on a case by case basis," he told BBC News Online.
Dieter Frankenburg, one of those involved in the study, suggested the risks were higher than 1%.
Stark choice
A recent study by doctors in Belfast suggested that young women with mutations in the BRCA1 gene may be best advised to have both breasts removed.
Richard Kennedy who carried out the study said the women must also be aware of the risks of regular mammographies.
"These women have a choice between surgery and regular screening and they must be aware of the risks of both," he said.
But Bernie Gardiner, an information nurse at Breast Cancer Care, said further study is needed.
"In the UK, women who are high risk of breast cancer are managed in accordance with the national guidelines and mammography is not recommended in women under 35 years of age.
"Although the findings of this research are interesting and should be followed by further work, mammography is still a valuable tool in the detection of early breast cancer.
"This illustrates the kind of difficult choices that women who have hereditary breast cancer face. This is why it is so important that they access to information and support to make the decisions which are right for them."

Since my early days on the internet Ive been constantly looking for a couple of message boards to share my thoughts on certain subjects. Im still looking for a busy music forum to become a member of but I seem to have finally found a football forum thats captured my attention and more importantly held it. Ive tried a number of boards over the last few years and they all seemed to be lacking something and its that something that Football Frenzy seems to have in abundance.
Ive been a member of the site since about May time having found it from a link on another Football site. So what is it? Well its a standard message board in much the same format as thousands of others on the internet. It uses the standard phpbb format that a large number of sites do and this makes navigation incredibly easy. The site is made up of 6 different sections, covering quite a wide range of subjects.
The site does require you to be a member before you can see whats going on within the forum. The registration process is incredibly easy. You need to enter a few standard details and then an activation e-mail is sent through and hey presto you are a member.
There is only one colour scheme for the board and although the silver appearance may on first appearance seem slightly dull it does accentuate the board a touch. Rather than providing millions of different colour schemes it is much easier to have just one and I think the default scheme is quite simplistic but fits the sites overall feel quite nicely.
Now onto the board itself and as I mentioned it is split into 5 different sections. The first of which is the welcome centre. Every message board has something similar. A part of the forum where members can introduce themselves to the board and say hello. This section also includes an area for suggestions and general questions about the forum. This can include anything from new topics to post about to announcements from the sites Admin team.
Moving down the page we come to the real reason why the site exists, the football related sections. There are three of these dealing with every level of football imaginable. The English section contains a separate forum for the Premiership and Championship and also includes one for Leagues 1 & 2 and Non League. There are also forums to cover Football from the rest of the home Nations and any cup competitions as well.
The site is continuing to expand and as a result of this the forum has recently been reshuffled and a new forum added. As Football Frenzy is one of the fastest growing British football forums it has now been decided that a move into the European leagues has come about. This now means the 4th section of the forum consist of all Cup competitions, Internationals and the new addition of the European leagues. One of the Moderators also runs a predictions league within this section which proves very popular as fans compete against each other
Each of these Forums contains the latest information from the world of football whether you support Manchester United or Linfield, the site tries to have something for everyone. The main reason that I stuck around on Football Frenzy unlike the others was the banter on site. Its something I felt was really lacking from other Football forums. At times the banter does get a little personal between opposing fans but generally its all good natured and enjoyable.
The final section of the forum is the Entertainment section. This is where the site moves away from the football side of things and onto the more general topics. Within this section is a general chat forum for people to talk about absolutely anything they want. Then there is also the Fun and Games forum for jokes and the like and the music forum to discuss the latest bands and gigs that people have been to. There are also forums for both Sports and computer related questions. The Entertainment area is one of the sites most popular sections and throws up some quite interesting topics of conversation/
The site admin team consist of 3 members and below them are another larger team of 8 Moderators of which Ive been one since about July last year. From my experience as a member, before joining the admin team, both admin and the moderators are fair and make decisions for the good of the site, without causing major problems. The amount of time a couple of the others put into the site is commendable and really makes the site what it is.
For the most part the banter on the site between opposing fans is quite light-hearted. Occasionally it can get a little bit personal but this is normally when the sites moderators step in and not let it get too far. Of course there is the odd member who signs up just to abuse other people but generally they dont last very long on the site before they are given some form of suspension.
Ive found most people on the Frenzy quite Friendly and always have a good laugh with most of them. There are fans of a lot of teams there and the membership is constantly growing, which means there are a lot of opinions from different fans of the same teams. To make it easier for fans to communicate with each other there is a messaging system that everyone has access to and a new addition is the chat room. As yet it still hasnt really been used but its simple to log into and seems quite straight forward.
Overall the Frenzy is an enjoyable board. There is a lot of interaction between fans of various clubs and I think thats whats kept my attention. A lot of other boards Ive found tend to focus on the top tiers of English Football and ignore everything else and Frenzy seemed totally different in that respect. On first few the page does look rather busy but it doesnt take long to get the hang of it and after about 10 minutes navigation becomes incredibly easy. If youre looking for a football forum then Id certainly recommend dropping by the Frenzy, Youll be made to feel very welcome.

Revel Seven: New Line Takes Pride in Organic Clothing
Images via: Revel Seven
Coming to eco-luxury stores this July is Revel Seven, the new 100% certified organic clothing company by founder Joe Tomlinson and wife Amy. Patriotic and environmental themes adorn each of the tees and the jeans come in vintage and broken-in, comfortable fits, the way jeans should be.The organic graphic tees include giant peace-sign fingers and patriotic themes like the American flag and Uncle Sam. To go with those patriotic-themed tees, come another American standard, blue jeans, only these aren't made with any of the traditional chemicals. These jeans are without any bleaches or chemicals. Instead, Revel Seven uses a hand sanding process to create the abrasions and a natural wash to give jeans a vintage look. They also have a team of slackers who just roam around in the jeans to give them that broken-in look. Just kidding.
Tomlinson developed Revel Seven to make a line of clothing with the highest quality materials and the highest standards available and works to ensure that all clothing is made under the GOTS Certification (Global Organic Textile Standard). Most of the clothing is made in Los Angeles and can be purchased starting July 25 from Revel Seven and boutiques around the country. :Revel Seven

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - An erratic driver was killed Thursday after colliding with an SUV driven by a member of the Atlantic County's Prosecutor's Office on the White Horse Pike Thursday, authorities said
Galloway police said the driver - whom they did not identify - was been seen operating erratically by witnesses. The driver then caused a crash that led to the motorist's death.
The resident drove a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire eastbound on the pike when it collided headfirst with a 2011 Chevy Tahoe on the pike near Avenue A at about 9:30 a.m. The Tahoe was driven by Chief Daren Dooley of the prosecutor's office.
The driver of the Sunfire was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Notification to family members have not been completed by Thursday afternoon, police said.
Dooley's vehicle overturned. He was transported by Galloway Ambulance to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City.
The Galloway Township Police Department and the state police are conducting the investigation. The roadway closed after the accident but reopened at 12:30 p.m.
Vehicles were detoured on local streets, which caused local residents to come out of their homes to find out what was causing all the unexpected traffic.
Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel has no comment on the accident, spokeswoman Haleigh Walz said.
Mayor Don Purdy said the stretch of road is not considered particularly hazardous.
"It's something that happens on every highway," he said. "It's a tragedy, but it could have happened on any highway."

BALTIMORE (Nov. 16)
Funeral services will be held at Temple Oheb Shalom here Wednesday for Jacob Blaustein, an American Jewish leader, millionaire industrialist and diplomat, who died at his Maryland farm yesterday at the age of 78. Mr. Blaustein, who founded the American Oil Co. in 1910 and guided its development from a small localized company to one of the giants of the American petroleum industry, served as president of the American Jewish Committee from 1949 to 1954 and was an honorary president of the organization at the time of his death. He was known nationally and internationally as an adviser and diplomatic trouble shooter for five American presidents and an advocate of Jewish and general humanitarian causes with world leaders. In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed him a regular member of the United States delegation to the United Nations. Mr. Blaustein was at home in world diplomatic circles. In 1945 he helped talk Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov into accepting the human rights articles of the UN Charter, then in its conceptual stages in San Francisco. In 1948 he was one of the Jewish leaders who convinced David Ben Gurion to accept the UN plan for the partition of Palestine which led to the creation of the State of Israel. Later he negotiated with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer for the payment of more than $10 billion in reparations to the surviving victims of Nazism. Mr. Blaustein was on close terms with Mr. Ben Gurion and his successors, the late Premier Levi Eshkol and Premier Golda Meir of Israel.
It was in his relations with Israeli leaders that Mr. Blaustein helped formulate the understanding that while American Jews are deeply concerned with the welfare and support of Israel, they owe political allegiance only to the United States. That understanding, which successive Israeli premiers subscribed to, was necessitated by accusations of dual loyalty against pro-Israel American Jews. Mr. Blaustein's career followed the rags-to-riches pattern once familiar in American life. Born in Baltimore, the son of a Lithuanian immigrant who worked briefly as an oil jobber he and his father founded American Oil which consisted of the two men and a horse-drawn tank wagon. The tiny firm grew quickly thanks to numerous innovations. It opened the first drive-in gasoline station in the U.S. and later blended the first anti-knock gasoline. It was the Blaustein gasoline, Amoco, that powered Charles A. Lindbergh's historic solo flight to Paris in 1927. Mr. Blaustein during his business career, owned a fleet of tankers, oil wells in Texas and Louisiana and several manufacturing companies. He had vast real estate holdings in Baltimore, San Diego, Dallas and Los Angeles and was a controlling stockholder of the Union Trust Co. of Baltimore. His diplomatic career began in 1945 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked him to attend the formative meetings of the UN in San Francisco.

KIDDERMINSTER Victoria earned a vital 20 points as they saw off fellow relegation rivals Walsall in the Birmingham and District League Premier.
Victory means the Chester Road side have a handy 29 point gap over the bottom two teams with five games of the summer left.
KVCC held their nerve in a game of fine margins but it was enough against the Black Country outfit.
The hosts won the toss and put Walsall into bat and made a swift breakthrough when Matt Pardoe caught Simon Harding off Connor Smith's bowling.
The bowling attack kept the pressure on and Walsall lost four wickets for just 36 runs.
Mike Hingley (13) was caught by Michael Hill off Gareth Williams' delivery, before the bowler removed Alex McChristie for a duck.
David Powles, also a duck, was out lbw to Hill, followed by opener Umar Amin (29), who was caught by Williams off Neil Pinner's delivery.
Walsall rallied with a 57 run partnership from Paul Wicker and Byrne, before the former was bowled by Wright and caught by Ryan Derrick.
Byrne (36) and Michael Green (0) were then removed in the space of five runs KVCC's rivals fought back when Jordan Stynes (42 no) and Humais Butt (10 no) added late runs and guided Walsall to 189-9.
In reply, KVCC lost Richard Kimberlin (6) and Michael Hill (6) cheaply but Pardoe (38) and Neil Pinner (39) steadied the ship.
But KVCC slipped to 108-5 when Pardoe was caught, Pinner was bowled by Ben McFarlane and Craig Wood was dismissed for ten runs. At 126 Ryan Derrick was out lbw for six, but the seventh wicket produced 36 runs. Andrew Siwicki and Wright saw the total rise to 162, but Wright (16) was caught.
Siwicki looked in good shape, but on 33 he was out LBW to Byrne.
Kidderminster required 14 more runs and they got them with two balls to spare. Connor Smith (15) and Tom Kimberlin (6) secured 20 valuable points for their team.
Next weekend KVCC have two fixtures, away to Shrewsbury on Saturday and at home to Berkswell on Monday.
The seconds defeated Walsall by five wickets.
Both Jack Beadsworth and James Kinder took 2-27, with Henry Wright, Andy Logan taking one wicket each. There was one run out as Walsall made 169-7.
The Kidderminster batsmen fared much better, Mark Fisher scored 42, Steve Yarsley 40 and Zac Turley 36.

i bought the sx about three years ago, the one i was looking at was up for sale on ebay but not on the website. I wanted it shipped in a case so I emailed them. I go a reply back in an hour with a link to a way to buy off the website so i could add a case. Rondo seems to have a good reputation for customer service, and my experiences with them were very good.
Also I like the neck on my agile lp, It plays good and it is a very well made instrument, but I have to say I prefer the profile of the eclipse necks. They are just a better shape for me.

Re: Parker column, Sheridan Press, Mar. 5
Kathleen Parker seems enthralled with California Gov. Jerry Brown's ability to get that state's budget balanced and implement (supposedly) restraints on spending. Before the good people of Wyoming consider taking some of Brown's medicine, perhaps they might want to consider some facts from the once-Golden State as reported by Thomas Del Beccaro in Forbes Magazine.
While Parker seems enamored with Brown's production of a $6 billion surplus, she neglects the fact that the California public employee retirement fund is said to be underfunded by $329 billion and that medical benefits are said to be $64 billion in the red. By Brown's own assessment, the medical deficit is expected to grow 59 percent in the next four years.
Consider also that California has the highest income taxes in the country, the highest gas taxes, the most regulations of any state, and the fourth-highest unemployment rate. All that despite California's having oil reserves of tremendous magnitude.
However, the California fringe environmental lobby has ensured that this huge shale formation will lie untapped and up to $25 billion in state and local taxes and almost three million jobs will not materialize – all due to ideological irrationality by the Democrat Party as presided over by Brown.
Add to the above the fact that four million taxpayers (myself included) and a large number of companies have moved away from California since 1998, most to sanity-friendly states. The total unfunded liability in California (state, county, and municipal) is said to exceed $1 trillion. A paltry $6 billion short-term surplus won't put a dent in that.
The jury is most certainly still out on whether Brown and his beloved party will in fact be able to stabilize California's economic and fiscal woes in the long term. Based on my 30 years in California and on the factual record taken in its totality, I would advise folks in conservative states to beware of those recommending approaches to "solving" problems until we see whether or not such problems are indeed solved, or whether they are just being kicked down the road out of political expediency.

DSP Knowledge to Drive Smart SoC
Post a comment
In 1984, when Paul Marino joined Motorola in Israel to help design the company's first digital signal processing device-the 56001-the world was a very different place. The heyday of mainframes had come and gone, personal computers were king and embedded computing had barely been defined.
Marino, now chief DSP scientist for Motorola Semiconductor, went on to become project leader for Motorola's first floating-point DSP, then program design manager for the company's flagship architecture, the 56300.
Today, DSP is a large focus of system-on-chip (SoC) designs. "In the coming years, true SoCs will proliferate, while designers will architect systems to support a multitude of processors that will meet DSP needs," Marino said, referring to both homogeneous and heterogeneous processors. The key, according to Marino, is not just to glue together onto the same die what used to be on several dies, but rather to architect the system, using hardware and software co-design tools, for optimal performance.
Marino started building his own personal vision for DSP vs. general-purpose computing back in the early nineties. "It was around that time we realized the world was moving from a computer-dominated world to an embedded-dominated world," he said. "And in my view, the epitome of embedded computing was the DSP. However, it has become obvious over the last five years that the boundaries between microcontrollers and DSPs have blurred."
While this blurring is evident, three features of DSPs remain to separate them from mainstream processors. The first, according to Marino, is determinism: "To do something that is DSP is to do something in real-time." As the samples of voice, sound or images come at a constant rate, it is crucial, Marino explains, that the old sample be processed before the new one arrives. "If you can't do that, then your result will be wrong, and there's no way to fix that. If it's late, it's wrong," he said. "The fundamental concept in real-time processing that defines DSPs is that they're predictable in their execution," he said.
The second distinguishing feature of DSPs, according to Marino, is the high bandwidth between the memory and the computation units. "In DSPs, you always have to process not one piece of information but two at the same time," he said. In the case of a finite input response (FIR) filter, for example, the first bit piece is the data and the second piece is the coefficient.
Power consumption is DSP's third distinguishing feature. "The fact is that CPUs and even microcontrollers are still one or several orders of magnitude higher in terms of power consumption because they are not optimized for mobile environments or low-power-consumption environments," said Marino.
|Paul Marino, chief DSP scientist at Motorola, focuses on finding ways to cram more DSP intelligence in system-on-chip solutions.
"Unlike desktop computing, where the buyer focuses on price and megahertz, what counts in embedded computing, where the buyer doesn't even see the processor, is functionality," said Marino.
The functionality and the sophistication of the algorithms required to make these machines help make our life better has changed dramatically, he said. Marino sees it as a self-propagating phenomenon: the industry is creating more powerful machines that stimulate developers and academia to create more sophisticated algorithms that, in turn, require even higher performance. "This cycle continues at a rate that exceeds Moore's Law," he said. "Yet the demands of the wireless world, both for voice and now wireless data, culminating in 3G, continue to put considerable burdens on the computational requirements of the systems," he said. This by itself, Marino asserts, has created a revolution in DSPs.
Marino is adamant that the best way to meet communications demand is through DSPs. "The hardwired solution that may be easier to implement may not be adequate," he said. "A programmable solution allows for field upgrades, and with ever shortening design cycles, the ability to put out bullet-proof designs is questionable; a DSP will allow you to upgrade," he said.
Unfortunately, not all DSPs fit all applications. Those doing directional antennas or medical imaging in real-time need high levels of computation and can take a hit on power. But for those in a portable device, power and cost take priority. "Our advanced researchers tell us they want infinite MIPS at zero current at zero dollars," said Marino.
Because it is difficult to optimize in all directions, many vendors have several families of DSPs. "This approach doesn't work either," said Marino, who explained that the shortage of engineering talent to support the various architectures, combined with the need for customers to migrate to new architectures as their applications become more demanding, void this model.
Incorporating multiple processors on a single die could solve a major issue facing chip makers. "As Moore's Law takes us to smaller and faster devices, the manufacture of these chips is becoming increasingly expensive, with fabrication costs running into the billions of dollars," said Marino.
To meet demands in the coming years, Marino sees process technologies moving to copper interconnects, low-K dielectrics, and lithographies below 0.1 micron. "This will give lower power and higher performance by minimizing the parasitics and overall dimensions," he said.
Design tools and methodologies will have to improve as frequencies breach the 1-GHz barrier and the basic limits of the transistor threshold. "It will call for a different set of tools and methodologies. It's not a free ride," he said.
For modeling and verification three to five years out, Marino sees increased levels of abstraction in design and system validation and increased focus on design for test and validation methods.
For circuit design, his road map calls for constraint-driven design with unified treatment of timing and signal integrity, and simultaneous analog/digital/RF analysis at multiple levels. Physical verification will need analysis of the effects of smaller geometries, hierarchical timing capability, and automated power grid and decoupling capacitance optimization.
"These tools present a bottleneck for DSP development over the next three to five years," said Marino. "While some IC vendors are developing their own tools in-house, we plan to partner and work with established houses to get these tools developed quickly," he said.
Though architecture, processes and design tools are all important, "they all work hand in hand," he said. "You cannot have one without the other. If you drive your process technology without the tools and methodologies, you'll fall flat on your face. Each feeds the other."

Surfers are mourning the death of a longtime bodysurfer who died after a neck injury he sustained while surfing waves near Huntington Beach Pier last week.
Andrew Arnold – known for playing his trumpet on the north side parking lot – was pulled out from the water Nov. 4 and was unconscious when lifeguards arrived.
Arnold, 54, was taken to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, where he was pronounced dead on Sunday after his organs were harvested, according to longtime friend Daren Jenner.
Jenner said low tide that afternoon could have caused shallow water, and it is believed that Arnold hit his head on a sand bar when he was "flipping out" of a wave.
Jenner and Arnold, who grew up in Huntington Beach, had just days before spent time bodysurfing the Wedge, Seal Beach, and Arnold's regular spot, the Huntington Beach Pier.
Jenner, who met Arnold when he was 4, described him as the kind of guy to give you his last dollar.
"He was a gentle giant, a musician, and a lover of life, his family, and his friends," Jenner wrote in an e-mail. "He cherished the ocean and water; they were his refuge. He always respected 'Mother Ocean,' and he was a talented bodysurfer, he rode those big pier bowls with courage and style, using only a small hand board for steering."
Acting Marine Safety Chief Mike Baumgartner said that Arnold was a regular bodysurfer in the area.
"He is someone who frequents the area all the time; he's very competent," Baumgartner said.
Off-duty lifeguards responded to Arnold, Baumgartner said.
Baumgartner said lifeguards respond to about 20 – 25 cervical injuries a year, and that an uneven ocean floor can be dangerous even for the most experienced ocean-user.
"You always have to keep your arms out in front of your head if you're anywhere near the ocean floor," he said.
Friend Ryan Turner said Arnold was someone who charged the biggest waves, and the day they found him the conditions were "puny."
Arnold sold Turner's family insurance. He took over the Farmer's Insurance business in Huntington Beach on Main Street from his mother, Eileen, after she died.
"He was a great guy; the easiest guy to talk to," Turner said.
Surfer Mark Weiss remembers seeing Arnold often in the parking lot before surf sessions.
"He'd just be playing his horn; it was awesome," he said. "He always had a good vibe. He was a fixture down there, we lost a good guy."
Jenner is in Phuket, Thailand, volunteering as a lifeguard, where they plan to have a "swim out" for Arnold. Plans for a Huntington memorial are also in the works, though a time and date have not been decided.

NBC's Tom Costello made a gaffe of planetary proportions on Saturday's Nightly News as he reported on the launch of NASA's latest Martian rover. The correspondent identified the rocket, which blasted the unmanned Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) probe into space for its eight month-plus journey to the fourth planet, as a "Saturn V." This is actually the name of the rocket that took Apollo astronauts to the Moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The last Saturn V flew in 1973.
The expendable rocket that actually blasted off on Saturday morning, taking MSL and its Curiosity rover beyond the Earth's atmosphere, is the Atlas V. It is the newest member of a rocket family that has been in service since the 1950s. John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962 after a modified first-generation Atlas launched his Mercury capsule into space.
Later in his report (video available here), Costello stated that "just traveling the 154 million miles to the Red Planet will take more than eight months." According to NASA's press kit for the Mars mission, this will be the distance between Earth and Mars when MSL reaches its destination in August 2012. However, the probe's total travel distance will actually be 354 million miles, more than twice the figure the NBC correspondent cited.
I actually had saw the Atlas V booster that launched MSL into space back in August 2011, when NASA invited me to attend the launch of the Juno probe, which will orbit the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter (which also launched on top of an Atlas V rocket). As part of their NASA Tweetup outreach program with the public, the space agency gave an extensive tour of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, including the facility which prepares the rocket for launch. The booster sat on its side inside a hangar until it was taken to a vertical integration facility near the launch pad, where a Centaur upper stage was stacked on top of it, along with the probe. (see photo above)
The full transcript of Tom Costello's report from Saturday's NBC Nightly News:
LESTER HOLT: The folks at NASA are calling it the monster truck of Mars, and tonight, the world's biggest extraterrestrial explorer is on its way to the Red Planet. For NASA, this new mission in search of life carries high hopes and high risks.
NBC's Tom Costello has our report.
TOM COSTELLO (voice-over): With a Saturn V [sic] liftoff at the Kennedy Space Center, NASA has launched its most sophisticated and ambitious mission to Mars yet. Just traveling the 154 million miles to the Red Planet will take more than eight months. Then, next August, a high-risk landing, as a supersonic parachute slows the science lab's descent to Mars. Sixty feet above the planet, a sky crane will gently lower the rover, named Curiosity, onto the Martian surface, leaving Curiosity on its own to begin looking for signs of life, past or present.
PAMELA CONRAD, ASTROBIOLOGIST: Do we anticipate that we'll learn a whole lot about Mars? Absolutely. Do we know what specifically that will be? No clue.
COSTELLO: Curiosity is a six-wheeled rover, standing more than six feet tall, able to drive long distances under a hot Martian sun, analyzing rock and soil samples and then, transmitting those findings back to Earth.
COSTELLO (on-camera): NASA has carefully selected the landing zone on Mars in the Gale Crater, where a huge mountain rises right out of the crater floor. Scientists believe they see layers of sedimentary deposit here that they hope will help them understand more about Mars history, but also, what happened to the lakes and rivers.
BRIAN HYNEK, UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO: This is Gale Crater-
COSTELLO (voice-over): Brian Hynek is a planetary science professor and Mars expert at the University of Colorado. The evidence he says now seems clear that Mars once had a very warm and wet environment.
HYNEK: Microbial life could have persisted for hundreds of millions of years on ancient Mars- and perhaps, even today.
COSTELLO: And that possibility poses a big problem. NASA has gone to great lengths to ensure Curiosity doesn't carry any Earth germs that could contaminate life on Mars. High resolution cameras have already detected what appear to be large ice sheets buried under the Martian surface. Curiosity's mission- to determine whether life is or ever was buried there, too. Tom Costello, NBC News, Washington.

Newborn and Infant Care
Why possible pregnancy?
When can a woman get pregnant??
In order for a pregnancy to occur a woman must ovulate and sperm from the man must be present. The exact time of ovulation is unpredictable, even women with very regular menstrual cycles can experience delayed or early ovulation. Because of these irregularities and resulting ovulation it is difficult to predict exact times in which pregnancy can occur. If you think you might be pregnant you should seek out your health care provider or if it is time for your menstrual period, you could do a home pregnancy test, being sure to follow the directions exactly. If the test is positive you will need to seek immediate prenatal care from your health care provider.

In my opinion, Riffe Lake is at least as beautiful as any lake in the state, or for that matter, anywhere. I don't know the exact length, or width of the lake, but I would guess that it is about 12 miles long--maybe more and maybe up to 3 miles wide is some places. There are coves and inlets all along the shores and even a few islands.
The main body of the lake is exposed to wind at times and can be challenging to paddlers, but there are plenty of protected bays to explore also. When the lake was formed, some trees were left here and there. The trunks still reach up from the depths and depending on the level of the water, these spires might lurk just below the surface, so it's a good idea to keep an eye out. This caution applies to bays and coves and generally not to the main body.
A round trip day paddle from end to end of the lake might be doable for sea kayakers and maybe robust canoers, but plan on some wind and waves.

|This article is about a/an episode in Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
The Extraordinary Majin ~Maagi Giruma Golu Jingajin~ (凄まじき魔神~マージ・ジルマ・ゴル・ジンガジン~ Susamajiki Majin ~Māji Jiruma Goru Jingajin~) is the thirty-first episode of Mahou Sentai Magiranger. It features the introduction of the new Majin forms of the Magiranger and their new combined form, MagiLegend.
Lunagel contacts the Ozu siblings about a dangerous warning tied to their new Legend power.
In the Magic Room of the Ozu House, the gang is happy about the Legend powers. Fire comes from Kai and it burns Tsubasa and then his lighting shocks Kai, so they fight. Houka then blows Hikaru and Urara away. Urara squirts water from her hands. Hikaru says each of their element powers are becoming stronger, and harder to control. Makito asks about himself. He says he is now refreshing, like a forest. Hikaru says there is a legendary majin that would rumble the Earth. He tells them its name is MagiLegend. Kai burns up literally. A white goat arrives, a letter goes through a black goat in Magitopia to the white goat there. Their two stomaches are connected by a magic dimension. They receive a letter from Lunagel. Houka and Kai pet the goat and it disappears. Hikaru says they put the goat in a bad mood. Houka and Kai bow their heads. Lunagel says to not use the Legend power. They don't have the rest of the letter but the five will hear none of it. Meanwhile, Blurates is afraid of the Magiranger but Memmy encourages him to face them. He gives him an extra boost and his staff is restored. He says his youth has been revived. Wolzard is concerned about the spell Memmy did. Blurates attacks and the five Magiranger arrive. They go to Legend mode without listening to Hikaru's protests. They create a forcefield against Blurates and then blast him with their individual attacks.They finish him off with their finisher. They reassure Hikaru that they are okay. Blurates appears in a Marudeyouna world Memmy created, he knew he would fail. He had him fight because the Hades Machine Golem requires a 300 year-old + soul. Memmy blasts him. His soul is taken into the machine. At the Ozu house, they celebrate the Legend power. Suddenly, they are wrapped vines, growing from underneath. Urara cries a river of tears. Tsubasa shocks them with lighting. Houka screams and wind blows. Kai throws fire from his mouth. Lunagel stops their powers from overflowing and scolds them. Sungel asks her for details. She says they will become SkySaints if they continue using the powers. They like this prospect. She tells them the down side is that they will forget their human memories, they will stop being siblings. Sungel gets a feeling (of the Golem) and asks Lunagel to take care of the five for her. He and Smoky arrive on Travelion to the Golem. Travelion goes to robot mode. Nai and Mea tease him. When it is ready, it will go to the surfacer world. Golem and Travelion duke it out. Outside, the five walk sadly down stairs and can't bear forgetting their mother, their history... Houka doesn't want it to happen. Lunajel sees this and Kai asks if this will happen if they use the power next time. She nods. Kai is for using the power if they are in a pinch and they will be together by fate and start again. Tsubasa yells at him and is upset. Kai thinks the enemies are getting stronger so they should be too. Makito understands this. Lunajel wants Kai to remain himself, she says his father Brajel felt the same way. Just then Travelion crashes into their world. Golem crashing in as well. Kai says to form MagiKing. MagiKing indeed clashes with Golem. Vankyuria arrives and tells them its name. Golem shoots out its little 'Unknowns' and they do their Phantom Illusion attack, but evil wins. MagiKing goes down and they split up back into humans. Travelion saves them from being crushed. Lunajel offers to fight, Kai tells her no. Travelion is getting a beating. Makito grabs Kai's shoulder. They encourage each other that they are connected by fate and should use the Legend power. They say to make new family memories. Lunajel plays devil's advocate but they are sure. They run and transform. They go to their legend form and the # 3 and 4 glow on their Dailrods. Sungel tells them to use them. Kai becomes Firebird and the four become the MagiLion. Golem zaps Firebird and he throws fire at the machine. Lion slashes at the robot. Kai creates fire rings for the lion to jump through and then form Magi Legend. A new chess board is created for them. The two battle it out. They call for their weapon and then finish the machine off. Later in human form, the 5 are indeed saddened. They glow and say their goodbyes. Urara says her mind is fading. Sungel and Lunagel see this. Sungel receives a spell for them, because of their courage. They won't have to lose their memory. He flashes it on them and they stop glowing and they cheer that they will be normal and keep using their power. Lunajel tells them that she is surprised how they have grown. Kai tells her she must not fall in love with him. Tsubasa slaps him and they go after each other.

If there's one thing that the Parisians love, it's simplicity (besides baguettes, a bottle of red wine and a good cheese, of course). Their style is all about quality, not quantity, and they pride themselves on looking effortlessly put together. The wardrobe of a Parisian consists of a few well-made staple items that can be mixed and matched in several different ways. In my opinion, this is very different than the way Americans handle their wardrobes. America is notorious for being the nation of commercial consumerism, and our wardrobes tend to reflect this ideal by being much more extensive than they need to be. Instead of having seven different pairs of cheap jeans that don't fit you quite right, invest in one or two pairs of high quality jeans that fit you perfectly. This is the mindset of the Parisians, and it is one that wouldn't be a bad idea to live by.
This Fashionisto has that certain je ne sais quoi that makes him look like he should be strolling beside the Seine, walking a little French Bulldog named Hugo. His outfit is made of classic staple pieces that are well made and versatile. The striped hoodie he is wearing has a nautical vibe while still channeling his inner Parisian. The navy and white stripes make this a multipurpose piece that can be paired with many other outfits. Whether it's with Nantucket Red shorts and sandals, or under a navy vest with khakis and boots, this piece never loses its timelessness. His jeans are a medium wash with a straight leg and slightly cuffed at the bottom. A medium wash jean is one of those great investment pieces mentioned earlier. It can be worn in an infinite number of ways and it will never go out of style. His Sperry Top-Siders finish off the outfit and add to the effortlessly chic look he's got going on.
Hint: To emulate this Fashionisto's style, look for simple pieces that would work with a bunch of different outfits. A rule of thumb I like to go by to decide if something is truly versatile is if I can create at least eight different outfits with it, then I consider it a versatile piece. A nice sweater or cardigan is always a sound investment, as is a good plain, white T-shirt. Stores like J.Crew and some big department stores like Nordstrom are great places to hunt for these items because their quality of clothes is usually higher. Just remember: quality not quantity!

Alex football: A fitting finale at Citizens Field
The Alexandria football team went into last night's Section 8AAAAA opener with a little momentum after taking care of Fergus Falls in a 21-14 game that put the finishing touches on a memorable 42-year run at Citizens Field.
Senior quarterback John Vogeler had a hand in all three of Alexandria's touchdowns as he connected with Aaron Steidl on a 27-yard score in the first quarter and added two more touchdowns on the ground.
The Otters got two touchdowns from Adam Evenson and had a chance to tie it on the final play. Quarterback Austin Rund rolled to his left looking to pass before scrambling down the left sideline for more than 20 yards. He ultimately came up three yards short as he got tripped up and fell just short of the goal line.
"Especially because it's the last game on Citizens Field," senior Aaron Steidl said after getting just enough of Rund's leg to help trip him up. "There's adrenaline pumping. You heard me yell, screaming. I was doing a little bit of a Clay Matthews stomp."
The Cardinals' defense had two interceptions and three fumble recoveries on the night, and they needed those with the way Fergus Falls moved the ball. The Otters were big up front and in the backfield. They powered their way to 268 yards rushing on 36 carries, but those turnovers proved to be too much to overcome.
"They were very big, very physical," head coach Mike Empting said. "They were bigger than us up front. Their running backs were bigger than some of our defensive lineman. They just kept pounding it in there, but bottom line is our defense answered the bell when they needed to."
Riley Hvezda forced one of the biggest turnovers with an interception in the fourth quarter. He grabbed a Rund pass in the end zone when the Cardinals were clinging to a seven-point lead.
"We were manned up and I was backing up, looking for my corner and he had him covered and I had my guy," Hvezda said. "He threw it up a little short and I got it."
The Cardinals looked like they were going to be able to run out most of the clock late in the game, but a late fumble on the Otters' 24-yard line gave Fergus Falls one last shot.
The Otters took over with 1:48 left in the game and marched down to near the Alexandria 25. They spiked the ball to stop the clock with four seconds left and set up for the final play. It made for some tense moments before the Cardinals were able to celebrate one last win at Citizens Field.
"We've kind of been building to this all year long, the finale on this field," head coach Mike Empting said. "We talk about tradition in this program all the time and every player that comes through here knows about the tradition. To come out of this with a win the way we did, it's just another memory. Put it down as the final page in the storied history of Citizens Field."
Alexandria jumped out to a 14-0 lead against the Otters in the first half behind two big plays in the passing game from Vogeler. He connected with Steidl on a 27-yard strike on fourth-and-12 with 2:55 left in the opening quarter.
Vogeler then did his part to make it 14-0 in the second quarter on two consecutive plays. He hit fellow senior David Krivanek on a pass down the right sideline that went for almost 40 yards before Vogeler scored on a 12-yard run on the very next play. He and Krivanek were on the same page all night as Krivanek caught six balls for 76 yards.
"We usually have a good connection in most of the games," Vogeler said. "Whoever is open, I try to distribute the ball as well as I can. If he's pressed up, I'm going to go the other way, but they were playing off of him most of the game. That's why I kept going to him, and he kept catching the ball and getting yards for us."
The Cardinals got important plays when they needed them all night. Parker Bowden got a big kickoff return right after the Otters had tied the game at 14 in the third quarter. He burst through an initial hole before breaking a few tackles. Bowden was finally taken down at the Otters' 15-yard line, but it led to a Vogeler touchdown run on fourth-and-goal from inside the one.
"It comes down to the kids just continuously made plays that bailed us out," Empting said. "Riley with that interception. Parker with that big kick return at a time when we really needed something. The kids did it. John on the touchdown plunge; he checked that on his own, saw that was there and took it upon himself and got that thing in the end zone."

Children and Trauma
I am no expert on how to talk to children about school shootings. Who is? There shouldn't have to be experts on such horrific subjects. But I am just a mom, like many of you, with a broken heart and so many questions. Questions of how best to help my young children understand and get past this tragedy that took the lives of 26 innocent people, 20 of which were young children, on Friday, December 14, in Newtown, Connecticut. Questions of how to comfort and reassure their innocent hearts and minds about their safety and their faith in the goodness of our world. So instead of offering advice, advice that I could not possible give, I offer you resources. Resources to inform, to connect, and to empower you as a loving and hopeful parent.
