Lattice Always-On Sensor Solutions for Context-Aware Mobile Devices
3 comments
The folks at Lattice Semiconductor have just announced a new family of iCE40 FPGAs that slash power consumption by 100x and are so small they can fit almost anywhere to make always-on, context-aware sensor integration a reality.
One of the world's biggest industries at the moment is handsets and smartphones. These have evolved some amazing capabilities to the extent that they are now molding our lives and affecting how we relate to family, friends, and colleagues.
As amazing as today's devices are, however, we are still only poised at the beginning of a new era of intelligent, context-aware devices that take full advantage of micro-miniature sensor technologies.
If we consider a cellphone from a relatively few years ago, it may have included a simply proximity sensor that would blank out the screen when you brought the phone to your ear, thereby saving power. Over time, more and more sensors have been added, including things like ambient light sensors, magnetometers, multi-axis accelerometers, multi-axis gyroscopes, and so forth.
Now, the developers of devices like smartphones are working on making them even smarter. In particular, they wish to make these devices more aware of their surroundings and also aware of their user's context. Where are you (in the street, in a building, on a plane)? What are you doing (sitting, walking, running, riding a bike, leaning against a wall)? What's happening around you (it's hot, it's sunny, it's windy, it's raining, the ground is shaking... eeekkk!)?
The reason we need always-on, context-aware devices is so that they can better meet our needs. One problem is that when something is always on, it's always drawing power. The worst culprits when it comes to burning power are microcontrollers and application processors. Another problem is that devices like smartphones are now so jam-packed with sensors and displays and application processors that they are extremely space-constrained, so any solution that supports the always-on, context-aware processing of data from myriad sensors has to be incredibly tiny.
All of which explains why the folks at Lattice Semiconductor are so excited with their new iCE40 FPGAs, which are based on the ultra-low-power technology they acquired from SiliconBlue.
In addition to offering the world's smallest single-chip sensor solutions, these devices also consume only a miniscule amount of always-on power (less than 1 milliwatt) while still providing near-zero latency for accurate context awareness.
Presented in a 1.40mm x 1.48mm (0.45mm tall) 16 WLCSP package with 0.35mm pitch, iCE40LP ultra-low-power FPGAs are ideal for implementing infrared subsystems (IR remotes, bar case emulators, LED drivers, etc.) as illustrated below:
Meanwhile, iCE40LM ultra-low-power FPGAs, which are presented in a 1.71mm x 1.71mm (0.45mm tall) 25 WLCSP package with 0.35mm pitch, are ideal for implementing sensor management subsystems (sensor HUB, management, and pre-processing).
During my briefing on all of this, the folks at Lattice gave a rather powerful demonstration featuring an iCE40LM sensor daughter card as illustrated below. In addition to the ultra-low-power iCE40LM FPGA itself, this card boasts a cornucopia of sensors, including an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a compass, a barometer, a proximity detector, an RGB ambient light sensor, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, and an infrared transmitter and receiver.
In the image below we see the test setup, in which the iCE40LM sensor daughter card is plugged in to a Snapdragon board and display, featuring a QualComm 8060 applications processor along with a smartphone evaluation and software development kit.
The example application used in this demonstration was to implement a pedometer. In this case, the iCE40LM monitors the accelerometer and pre-processes the data and stores the data while the main (power-guzzling) application processor snoozes away. The iCE40LM only wakes the application processor when the occasion demands. The image below shows the daughter card carrying the iCE40LM being swung back and forth to replicate someone walking. The multimeter is displaying the current being consumed by the iCE40LM, which -- in this case -- is less than 3/4 of 1mA.
These new ultra-low-power FPGAs are already in production and are available through Lattices distribution partners, with prices starting at under US $1 dollar in high volume quantities. If you are interested in learning more, just click here to bounce over to the Lattice website.

Rays Secure Series with Controversial Win
Rays 4, Angels 2
Thank goodness we got to play this game as scheduled tonight. It would have been a malfunction of massive proportions to expect a day-night double header on Wed to get this series completed before Wed night.
The Rays did talk to the local offcials about traffic control and got with the security forces to ensure there would be adeqaute people if the doubleheader was to materialize because of Tropical Storm Fay. But the storm started to do a delayed right turn after it hit the Key West area on Monday night.
Because it veered so much to the east, the Tampa Bay area only got a small amount of rain compared to the anticipated rain chances if the storm did come up the coastline. The last time we had such an adventure, we had a day-night doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers a few years ago. All you had to have to get in the door that night was a ticket to one of the games, and you got your choice of unused seats.
But with the team winning like it is this year, those seats might not be vacant if such an event hit this year. Hopefully that was our brush with the wind and the tides this year and we can get this season done with and worry about the Playoff storms of bandwagoning fans strolling the aisles of the Trop.
Wow, did you see the veins popping in Rays Manager Joe Maddon's neck last night after that wild play in the 6th inning. The first base umpire, Jerry Meals, totally blew the call on B J Upton by noticing a phanthom attempt to move towards the baseline and turn towards second base.
What really got Maddon more worked up is that the umpire crew chief,Gary Darling , who was watching second base at the time concurred with the first base umpire and ruled that the play stood as called on the field. Video replays show that the call was blown totally out of control, and the MLB rule book had such a huge area of grey near the meaning that it could be interpreted that the color green was white if the umpire saw that in his eyesight.
Wow, MLB rule7.08C states; "(j) states that once a runner "fails to return at once to first base after overrunning or oversliding that base … if he attempts to run to second, he is out when tagged."
Clearly by the video replays and the posturing of Upton to go straight up the line and not divert towards the foulline, how can you gauge intent without a movement towards second base? The best part of all this is that it doesn't matter in the long run. We did not lose the contest and all is well in Rays-ville.
But, if it had come down to the Rays losibf this game because of that one play, it would be a crime to award a win because of a blown call. Meads should be behind the plate tonight. I expect to hear a great amount of boo's for any judgement calls tonight.
Almost lost in all of the hoopla over the Upton call is the fact that the Rays had the bases loaded after Angels' reliever Darrin Oliver walked Carlos Pena with the bases loaded to tie the score in the 6th inning. This set the table for Willy Aybar to again be the hero of the night for the Rays. Aybar put a line drive into leftfield and plated 2 runs for the Rays to take a 4-2 lead in the 6th inning.
Aybar has batted .350 since taking over the thrid base duties while Evan Longoria is out with his wrist injury. He currently has a .70 Slugging Percentage for the season. Aybar's defense has also been superior as his kid brother, Angel Erik Aybar tried multiple times to put a bunt down on Aybar and get on base for the Angels. Willy was up to the challenge and completed the outs on his younger brother.
The final score gave the Rays the best record in the American League at 77-48. The Rays are currently tied with the Chicago Cubs for the best record in baseball. The win also secured the yearly series victory against the Angels. The Rays are 7-2 against the Angels this year, with one game to play on Wed.
The Rays have had only one season where they have won more game over the Angels. In 2000, the Rays went 6-6 against the Angels. The Rays have won all 5 games at home so far this season, and are 8-2 in their last 10 home games against the Angels.
James Shields recorded his 11th victory last night against the Angels. Shields pitched effectively spreading out his 9 hits and two runs through his 8 innings of work. Shields threw 103 pitches on the night and struck out 7 Angels batters in the contest. But behind Shields, the Rays' defense stood tall against the Angels.
Gabe Gross did his personal imitation of Superfly when he pulled in a Vladimir Guerrero liner to rightfield. In the first inning play, Gross took the ball off the top of the wall for a long fly out.
The ball would not have left the playing field, but the catch robbed the Angels of a extra base hit and a chance to score during the inning.
The Rays defense is currently in the top 5 in the majors, and is just .0002 from being the best defeanse in baseball.
In the 2nd inning, Upton took a Juan Rivera single to center and threw out Torii Hunter trying to score from second base. Upton made a perfect throw to the plate and Dioner Navarro easily tagged out Hunter on his slide. The outfield assist was Upton's 10 of the season, tying him for 4th in the AL.
Rays reliever Dan Wheeler, normally a setup guy, came in to p[itch in the 9th inning and got the Angels to go down in order 1-2-3 to secure the Rays win and get his 7th save of the year.
With the Rays win, Bench Coach Dave Martinez is now perfect as an acting coach in his Rays tenure. When Maddon was ejected in the 6th inning, Martinez took over the team and ran it effectively in Maddon's absence.

The Christmas Stocking's heart and soul
BRATTLEBORO -- Out there, the sounds of the season include sleigh bells, caroling and friends wishing each other "Happy holidays."
But in the Reformer newsroom, the sound of Pat Smith stamping the backs of Reformer Christmas Stocking checks is a sure sign that the holidays are upon us.
The steady ca-chink, ca-chink, ca-chink starts around Thanksgiving when Smith opens the first Christmas Stocking envelope and the sweet sounds carry right through the season, like an endless Messiah sing that reverberates through the newsroom until the goal is reached.
Each donation comes with a personal remembrance, and Smith, the news clerk at the Reformer, types each one of those into the computer, with the contribution acknowledgments appearing daily in the newspaper and online.
This year, when the Brattleboro Selectboard proclaimed December to be Brattleboro Reformer Christmas Stocking month, it was Smith who picked up the proclamation.
Smith's history with the Reformer Christmas Stocking goes all the way back to when she was a little girl growing up in Brattleboro, when she received winter clothing through the annual gift giving campaign.
She started working at the Reformer in 1969, and first became involved with the Christmas Stocking as a Reformer employee in the early 1990s.
For more than 20 years now she has taken on more and more responsibility and now she opens each envelope, types in the contribution message, stamps the check and makes the daily deposit into the bank.
Through all those years Smith has forged deep relationships with the individuals and families who give every year.
And especially this year, it is a responsibility that has been woven into her holidays, and her life.
Smith's husband, Kermit, died this year, and in his obituary she asked that contributions be made in his name to the Reformer Christmas Stocking.
She broke down in tears when she opened that first envelope with his name on it.
"There are lots of memories in the donations," she said. "It's important to a lot of people."
"Every organization has a heart that keeps the group beating," said longtime Christmas Stocking volunteer Betty Elwell. "We all do our things, but for us, Pat is that heartbeat."
Every year the Brattleboro Reformer leads the annual drive that helps raise money to purchase winter clothing for children in the region.
It takes dozens of volunteers to raise the money, deposit it, purchase and store the clothing, go through applications and then hand out the coats, hats, boots and gloves to the more than 1,300 children in 612 families.
Elwell says Smith has her hands, and a piece of her heart, in every part of the process.
"She works so well with people. She is trustworthy and organized and when she says she will do something, she does it," Elwell said. "She never forgets the meaning of what she is doing. At this point the work she does is built into the fabric of her soul."
After opening so many envelopes through the years, Smith says she has built relationships with the donors.
There is the Ernie Johnson family, which gives every year from their home in Florida.
Johnson, the Brattleboro native who became a major league pitcher and then a legendary broadcaster for the Atlanta Braves, died last year and now the donation is mailed in his memory.
There is the annual gift from "A-nonny-mouse," and the bags of rolled pennies that are walked in to the office every year from area school children who collect the change all year.
"You recognize them, each year," said Smith. "It makes you realize how important this is to them, and how they remember to do this every year."
Every check, and every penny, goes through Smith's hands.
She comes in on Saturdays to collect the mail form the post office, and then bring the deposits to the bank.
"Every donation is important to Pat," said Missy Gallanes, who purchases the winter clothing for the Christmas Stocking and has been involved with the group for about 30 years. "She'll call you when a big one comes in and when school children bring in their change."
She said Smith is quiet and steady presence, someone who has the answer to almost any question and who will make sure that every job is covered, even if she does it on her own.
"All of us do our part, and are involved, but Pat is the one we look to," said Gallanes. "She is our guiding force."
Smith keeps meticulous records, and in a tidy loose leaf binder in her desk, she has numbers going back 20 years on the number of envelopes opened, the amount of money collected, and most important to her, the number of children who were served annually.
She sweats it the whole time, worrying when the donations fall below the previous year's to-date figures, and then again as Christmas approaches and the total is still below the goal.
Yet at the same time, she says, the pennies come in, the checks arrive and one more Brattleboro Reformer Christmas Stocking gets put in the books, until another year's worth of winter clothing is given out the following season.
And Smith starts it all over, one more time.

I believe herbal supplements are very safe and effective
I already use them with great success in my equine massage business.
what would be the benefits?
Always, my horses are real healthy and I am always getting compliments on it
i got a herb for them
Because many are proven safer for horses and humans than DRUGS!
If the supplements I was considering
Product quality is questionable; all side affects & interaction with other substances aren't known
I use several herbal supplements (both oral and topical) with my two OTTB's who respond quite well.
Used numerous "old-timers" remedies with excellent results.Unless it sounds too weird or toxic.
I use herbs to treat PPID, with great results at lower cost than drug therapy.
Since herbal supplements aren't tested as much as drugs, I'd be careful
I use herbal supplements and remedies with great sucess
If i know it is safer than a drug,synthetic supplement,etc. Some herbs are dangerous if over used.
Natural products are better than using chemicals on them.
we already use supplements. Our vet is aware.
What's the point? Herbs can do damage just like anything else if not used properly.

We use several products that are OTC and prescribed Chinese herbs etc. with good effect.
animals are intended to consume plantsand natural substances:metabolic compatability, lower toxicity
there are many books and resource information which contain valuable information on herbs
herbs potency varies too much and makes them dangerous
No scientific reason to do this. The reccomendations are generally made by a non-qualified person
A 'healthy' alternative really isn't needed...
aloe soothes the gut
These are ages old proven remedies, many of which I use myself.
Already is use, very effective
I don't know alot about these types of herbs, so npt knowing I would need advice.

Would rather try something natural first before hitting the pharma.
I do use herbal supplements and with great results, honey is a great antibacterial and antifungal
Absolutely if research shows that it would be beneficial.
yes, garlic, to hopefully help with bugs
but I would want to run it by my vet
Would use with careful research
If a trusted friend recommend an herbal that might help my horse, I may try it and see what I think.
I rely on the expertise of my herbalist so my horses have a balanced diet and I don't waste money.
If it's proven to help, why not? I would be careful of side effects, though.
I use straight Glucosamine now because I don't want any other additives, also I would try natural pa

If there was documented evidence of its effectiveness.
I use them for me so why not my horse too!
I would use because they work. I use hatural products for myself too.
I do for me, why not my horse who eats 'herbs' every day.
But I would first check with my vet.
Already do. Have one horse that is alergic to most store bought fly sprays.
God gave us cures for everything

I use spirulina on a mare with heaves. Really helps.
It really depends on what I'm using it for...
I use natural products and have not had any negative side affects. I use friendly bacteria when swi
Most of these things are ineffective, but some of them have real side effects. Too much risk.
believe in homopathy
I would use if research data supports
total waste. horses have very delicate systems plus most natural cures are strictly placebo
I already use several herbal supplements from the advise of my veterinarian. I feel they work.
With proper instuction, herbal remedies have a place in human and horse med.
I already use herbs for marey behavior, skin irritations, calming for a cribber, gastric distress
I use them on me with great success, why not my horse?
I think a natural supplement is always the way to go as long as you do your research.
Aloe vera is great for wounds; arnica is great for muscle soreness
depends on what herb it is and what it is used for.
I had previously used a Chinese Herb for respirtory issues, spent a small fortune and it didn't work
I have used Aloe Vera juice in the past and it has helped with stomach issues.
Verernarian medicine is wonderful and has extebed the horses life but sometimes simple is better.
Sometimes the old ways are the better way without side effects.
Dependant on condition/circumstance presenting
I am currently having GREAT success reliving my horse's navicular pain w/ an herbal bute alternative
I already use natural and herbal supplements.
aloe vrea juice is very soothing for horses with GI irritation
depends how well it actually works
As long as I had reliable info on use/toxicity I would try them but I would also ask my vet
Herbs, used correctly can be beneficial
I've discovered that they work in many cases.
they have worked for thousands of years and 90% of drugs are derived from plants.
In some cases it could be a cheaper and safer solution to treatments
Topically, yes; internally, no. Not enough is known about them.
I am currently giving my mare burdock, ginseng, butcher's broom, hawthorn berries, and pomegranate e
I use them now
I currently employ an herbaist and ALWAYS consult her b4 a vet. Works everytime.
Currently using Devil's Claw as a long-term bute substitute.
I have been using them for some time with good results
ONLY if effective; I have been given some very ineffective herbal treatments/supplements by my vet.
Vets are more receptive to using herbals than medical drs and they are effective in a lot of cases
would want to know the horse needed such a supplement before administering it to him.
We rely on herbal remedies for D/E where other options are ineffective.
I have tried tumeric for inflammation.
a horse cannot be a horse if it has to wait for anything to be given to them
good luck in past with herbal treatments for cronic illness vs drugs for symptoms
Herbs have many medicinal qualities, and are often gentler to the system than artificial products.
After research and consultation with professional herbalist.
I've used them for years and they work wonderfully.
I use herbal remedies all of the time for my allergy prone horses with good results.
if there are good healthy benefits to feeding it. Would want to research to prove the benefits of fe
I use silver linings for joint health--33 yr. old horse It is great!!

I really don't want to have to maintain my own blog... I'd rather someone made an actual blog.perl.org.
Someone like one of the many blog companies Perl runs?
I don't know what the procedure is to be added to Perlsphere or Planet Perl (is there an impending cage match?), but if it's easy, those plus one of the free blog services seem like the best option.
"Moveable Type" is Perl. Maybe they could install that and then migrate accounts from use.perl to it?
I would give free time to help make that happen.
Ah, now I read "dynamic content" with Smarty (ugh PHP). Is there Perl blogging software out there? I see bloxsom but that I don't think would have what we need.
I would think that something using Perl would be preferable.
Moveable Type does support PHP but it is completely optional.

Volt May See Increased Nov. Sales; House Republican Looks to Kill $7,500 EV Tax Credit

President Obama with a Chevrolet Volt
Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA)

Despite recent issues with the Chevrolet Volt's battery, GM expects increased Volt sales for November and a recent survey found that Volt customers are satisfied. A GOP lawmaker may, however, ruin EV success by fighting the $7,500 tax credit
General Motors Co. may have hit a few speed bumps this year with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV's battery-related incidents, but things seem to be looking up with an expected increase in November Volt sales and a recent survey that confirmed Volt customer satisfaction.
The Chevrolet Volt had its
best-ever sales month
in October 2011, but according to GM Spokesman Jim Cain, November Volt sales are expected to surpass the previous month.
In October, GM sold 1,108 Volts, which was the first time it had outsold the Nissan Leaf EV since April. For the year through October, GM sold a total of 5,003 Volts.
Experts say that it is now very unlikely that GM will meet its sales goal of 10,000 Volts sold in 2011, but GM predicts increased sales in November over the month of October. The final sales figures for November have not yet been released.
Perhaps the reason for increased sales expectations is Volt customer satisfaction. According to a recent survey by Consumer Reports, Chevrolet Volt owners "love their cars."
The Consumer Reports survey, which was released Thursday, is based on over 314,000 opinions of 2009-2012 model year vehicles. The survey found that 93 percent of Volt owners who participated said they'd buy the EV again.
However, the survey was conducted only a few months after the Volt hit showrooms, and mainly consisted of early buyers and enthusiasts. The survey was also taken before the formal investigation of Volt/lithium battery safety began.
Earlier this year, the Volt underwent a series of tests at a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) facility in Wisconsin. Three weeks after a side-impact crash test on May 12, the Volt went up in flames while parked at the facility, catching nearby vehicles on fire.
This sparked a NHTSA investigation, where
three more Volts were tested
November 16, 17 and 18. One battery had normal results while another emitted sparks and smoke, and the third caught on fire one week later. The NHTSA is now conducting a formal investigation of the vehicle's safety.
The Volt may be seeing the upside of a nasty situation for now with a potential sales increase and customer satisfaction, but one GOP lawmaker is looking to throw a wrench in the EV industry's success by fighting the $7,500 tax credit.
Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) told Congress Wednesday that he wants the $7,500 tax credit for EVs to cease because he says electric vehicles have not met desired goals and the tax credit only benefits the wealthy. He specifically noted that the annual income of Volt owners is $175,000.
"[The Volt] has become the poster child of President Obama's failed green agenda," said Kelly. "Like many green initiatives promoted by this administration and bankrolled by the American taxpayer, the electric car is better in theory than in practice; has limited consumer demand; is heavily subsidized; and has fallen short of reaching targeted goals. Despite the fact that the federal government has no business subsidizing a product that a manufacturer could just as easily
promote through rebates and other buyer incentives
, the tax subsidies are largely going to the affluent few who can actually afford to buy an electric car, which costs anywhere between $40,000 and $97,000."
Kelly's "like many other green initiatives promoted by this administration" comment was more than likely referring to this year's Solyndra disaster, where the U.S. government loaned solar panel company Solyndra $535 million in 2009 despite warnings that the company would go bankrupt.
Solyndra filed for bankruptcy
on September 6, 2011.

The scum of the earth looking for their time in the National Spotlight. Just give me sometime in a dark alley and the justice system will save a mint. Same with the loonie in Colorado swift and just death!
Just wanted to share a little bit of my story...
"I have been trying to process everything that has happened the past 24-48 hours and so many thoughts and emotions have been running through my mind. So many things that I want to say, that I want people to know. Growing up most of my young life I was always the only Sikh kid in my town, in my class, in my school etc. I knew every morning when I woke up and went to school that there was no one that looked like me. It was sometimes difficult, the teasing, the laughs, the comments, but I knew that as a Sikh, I was to be strong, be proud, and to be brave. Our Gurus had sacrificed so much for our religion. For our right to believe in universal humanity, that regardless of race, gender, class we are all equal. My father came to this country in the 1970s with $8 dollars in his pocket without my mother and my oldest sister and he endured so much more than what I was going through at that time. He would tell me that people would look at him, scream, and run. It was like they saw a monster or something. He was my strength in those moments. My father came to America because he saw the opportunity for a better life for my sisters and I. A country where no one person looks the same, where we are free to look the way we want to, free to worship who we want to and free to speak what we want to. In the wake of this horrible tragedy I encourage Sikh Americans everywhere to not be angry with what has happened, but to embrace this opportunity to enlighten others about who we are and what we stand for. I encourage those who do not know about Sikhs to Google it, ask me or other Sikhs you know. Come to one of the many candlelight vigils, or come to a Sikh Gurdwara (Temple) and see what we are about. Our doors always remain open and we never turn anyone away regardless of faith, color, gender or race. I want to stress that this incident is not about feeling bad for the Sikh community. Sadly we all know what happened yesterday was not the first time a community was targeted because of the way they look and it will not be the last. However this is a chance for us to embrace each other, our differences, and our SIMILARITIES. I cannot tell you how many people that I have met who always tell me, "When I first saw/met you, I had this perception of who you were or how you would be but I was so wrong. You are nothing like I thought you would be. You are just another normal guy." Let us open our minds and hearts to those who are not like what we see in the mirror. Sikhs stand proud, do not be afraid to tell our story, your story, my father's story or the story of Satwant Singh Kaleka. Mr. Kaleka tried to take down the gunman until his last breath. Just like the passengers of flight 93, he would not go down without a fight. Lt. Brian Murphy, a true hero nearly gave his life and waved off aid so officers could help those still in the Temple. His story of true heroism is the stories this great country was built on. Today on the news I see my Father, my Mother, My Sister, and My Brothers.

Coming up this week, the Fred Astaire Festival celebrates the silver screen icon, a group of former Ragazzi Boys have grown up and continue to sing, local indie band The Corner Laughers rock out for reading, and Danse Libre imagines an epic battle with zombie Nazis.
Music: Ragazzi redux
Jansen Verplank built his life around singing. He began his vocal training around the age of 8 in 1991 with the Ragazzi Boys Chorus, the Redwood City-based organization, which teaches boys aged 7 to 18 to sing in a wide range of styles, including traditional, operatic and contemporary. During his tenure at Oberlin College, Verplank was part of a large choir that performed with the Oberlin Orchestra. And then, upon graduating, Verplank suddenly found himself without a musical home.
Though he explored joining other men's vocal groups after college, he ultimately gave up on the idea, because he never felt the kind of connection he had enjoyed singing in Ragazzi as a boy or in his college choir as an undergraduate. From 2005 to 2012, he kept his sing to himself. But then, one day in 2012, some of his friends from Ragazzi asked him to join their new group, Ragazzi Continuo -- an a cappella men's choir comprising Ragazzi Boys Chorus alumni.
The group of 12 singers now performs about six shows each year -- a string of three during the spring and another three in the winter. The second performance of their spring season comes on Saturday in Palo Alto.
"It's been really fun for me to reconnect with these guys," Verplank says of singing with the group, many of whom he knew back when he was a boy.
Verplank says Ragazzi Continuo has a "unique sound," which meshes techniques more frequently used by boys choirs with the deeper voices of the men singers, who range in age from their early 20s into their 30s. "We use less vibrato than a lot of adult choirs," he explains.
The group will perform its latest production, "Ex Corde: The Rhythm of the Land," which features a mix of traditional and folk music from around the world, "ranging from the raw hymns of Appalachia to powerful and vibrant South African freedom songs," on May 31, at 7:30 p.m., at the All Saints Episcopal Church, located at 555 Waverley St., Palo Alto. Tickets range from $15 to $20. For more information go to ragazzicontinuo.org or call 650-342-8785.

Music & Books: Reading rocks
In a lot of ways it makes sense that The Corner Laughers would be playing the Palo Alto Library's Family Summer Reading Kick-Off "Pawty." The band is firmly rooted on the Peninsula -- the majority of its members live in Redwood City, many have worked or work in Palo Alto, and they have a song, which encourages listeners to "follow the bells of El Camino."
However, in the eight years the group has been writing and recording music they've never once played here. At least that's how multi-instrumentalist and singer Karla Kane remembers it. Kane (full disclosure: she's a former Weekly staff member) says her band often plays in San Francisco and the East Bay, but as far as she can recall, never Palo Alto.
That's OK by her, though. The band is just happy to be playing close to home and supporting a good cause, she says. The library's summer reading program encourages youngsters to put their noses into books, by offering prizes for reading a certain number of books between the beginning of June and the end of August. The free event, which begins at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, is being held in an effort to sweeten the deal -- literally. Those who sign up will get a free scoop of Rick's Ice Cream. The event has been dubbed a "Kickoff Pawty" because this year's theme is animals.
Kane says she and her band mates are "really big library supporters."
"We've actually played in a lot of libraries all over, and actually use the library a lot ourselves," she says. "We are pretty bookish, so it fits well." Plus she says, everyone in her band is a parent, and, as such, appreciates the public library as a resource for the whole family.
According to the singer, The Corner Laughers will be playing some new tunes at the show. For those who don't know much about the band, they play an airy, melodic and jangly brand of indie-chamber-pop -- employing traditional rock instrumentation, along with ukulele and bells. Kane's voice is light, but sturdy, which complements the group's often dreamy, yet intellectual, lyrical content. "We try to make our songs intelligent, with literate lyrics, but really catchy and fun," Kane says.
As a mother and Peninsula resident Kane says there is another reason she is looking forward to the upcoming show. It will give the group's South Bay and Peninsula fans, who have trouble making it out to the group's shows in Berkeley and The City, due to distance and family duties, an opportunity to catch some of newest Corner Laughers songs live.
The Family Summer Reading Kick-Off "Pawty" runs from 2:30 to 4 p.m., Sunday, May 31, at the Cubberley Community Center Amphitheater, located at 4000 Middlefield Road in Palo Alto. Admission is free. For information go to The Corner Laughers' website, cityofpaloalto.org or call 650-329-2436.

Dance: Dancing through the past
What do you get when you take a handful of Stanford graduates, passionate vintage dancers and business professionals? The Academy of Danse Libre, that's what.
Danse Libre, a vintage dance performance group based in Mountain View, is currently preparing for its upcoming theatrical dance show, "The Dancing Dead: Zombies! Vegetarians! Vintage Dance!"
The performance is set in a fictional 1941, where Adolf Hitler finds a way to turn harmless vegetarian zombies into his own ruthless, brain-eating army, and scientists must travel back in time to stop him. The show, written by Olivia Shen Green and directed by Mark Kennig, takes viewers through 100 years of social dances, such as the waltz, the cakewalk and swing. Dance companies Swing Cats Rhythm Revue and Knotts Dance Company will also be featured at the show.
Every two years, Danse Libre puts on a performance that showcases dance styles throughout a century. They prepare for each show at least one year in advance, and rehearse three to six hours several times per week.
Most of the dancers in the company have alter egos -- more commonly known as day jobs. Dancer Valerie Baadh is a javelin thrower, movement coach and teacher trainer for Waldorf schools. Other dancers in the troupe spend their days working as lawyers and doctors, while others have jobs in the dance industry. Publicity director Jeff Kellem gives dance workshops around the world, and says that historical dancers abroad have heard of Danse Libre.
"We tend to be one of the more well-known vintage dance groups," he said. "I went to Paris and I saw a dance colleague of mine looking at a video. I said, 'Oh, what are you watching? Oh, that's us,'" Kellem said.
"The Dancing Dead" will be performed at the Cubberley Theatre in Palo Alto at 7:30 p.m. on June 6 and 7. Tickets can be purchased online at danselibre.org. Tickets are $20 for adults and $17 for students and seniors.

Movies: Fred Astaire Festival
The Stanford Theatre, that local bastion for classic stars of the silver screen might have never been if it weren't for Fred Astaire.
According to officials, the classic-film temple on University Avenue got its start shortly after Astaire's death in 1987.
In the wake of the beloved actor, dancer and singer's passing, the Packard Foundation rented the Stanford Theatre for a two-week tribute to Astaire's legacy, and the public response was "extraordinary."
The theater averaged nearly 1,000 people a day for two weeks straight and convinced officials with the Packard Foundation to buy the theater and convert it into the Mecca for celluloid classics it is today. At the time, critics of the plan panned the idea, saying that no one would pay to watch old movies in an old theater -- especially considering that people could watch their favorite films on VHS.
But the theater survived the VCR revolution -- as well as the laser disc, DVD, Blu-ray and Netflix revolutions that followed. It seems that there really is no place to view movies produced during the "Golden Age" of cinema than, well, in a cinema.
The festival runs through June 22, with a pair of movies playing Wednesday-Friday, and another pair playing Saturday and Sunday. Shows start after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and around 3:30 on weekends. Tickets range from $5 to $7. For more information call 650-324-3700 or visit stanfordtheatre.org.

A five-car crash occurred in the opening minutes of Friday's practice for the Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway, forcing three drivers to use their backup cars for the preseason race.
With a pack of seven cars coming out of turn four, Matt Kenseth came down the track and made contact with Kurt Busch, triggering the incident. Busch's car slammed into the outside wall. Carl Edwards, Mark Martin and Juan Pablo Montoya were also involved in the incident.
"It was 100 percent my fault," Kenseth admitted. "I had no idea anybody was there."
Busch, Edwards and Martin will use their backup cars for Saturday night's 75- lap event at Daytona, while the teams of Kenseth and Montoya were able to make repairs to their primary vehicles.
"I didn't see anything," Edwards said of the incident. "I should have been listening to my spotter, Jason Hedleski, because he said, 'watch 'em, watch 'em' about two seconds before this happened."
Kenseth, a two-time Daytona 500 winner, including a victory in last year's race, will make his first start in the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing this weekend.
NASCAR's new Generation-6 race car is making its competition debut in the race as well. After extensive testing during the offseason, drivers and teams have been pleased with the car, and NASCAR has high hopes it will increase the competition. However, there are some unknowns about the Gen-6, particularly in race conditions.
During last month's testing at Daytona, a multi-car wreck occurred when Marcos Ambrose spun around in a pack of 18 cars after Dale Earnhardt Jr. was attempting to bump draft Ambrose on the backstretch. Twelve of the 18 cars riding in a pack at the time were involved in the accident. Drivers did notice a significant difference in the designs of the Chevrolet SS, the Ford Fusion and the Toyota Camry while bump drafting during the Daytona test.
The remainder of the first session and the whole second session of practice ran incident free. Kevin Harvick led the way in practice 1 with a lap at 197.364 mph, while Denny Hamlin, who is Kenseth's teammate at JGR, was fastest in practice 2 at 196.053 mph.

Jets fire offensive coordinator Tony Sparano http://wp.me/p14QSB-6SKx
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
As @mortreport reports, Jets have fired offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, who was informed of his dismissal Monday night.
Rich Cimini @RichCimini
Breaking: OC Tony Sparano fired by #Jets, per @mortreport. Got word last night in mtng with Johnson and Ryan. Hardly a surprise.
I am still hoping for Norv but I think he ends up in Indy if Arians leaves.
Manish is a GENIUS! He figured it out over a week ago
Rich Cimini @RichCimini
Jets will have 3 offensive coordinators in 3 yrs. Top names on #Jets wish list are Norv Turner, Cam Cameron.
Caldwell hired Dirk Koetter who specialized in the passing game, which suited Atlanta perfectly with Ryan, Roddy and Julio.
Gamble probably wasnt too involved in bringing in the OC in SF as that was Harbaugh (I believe).
We have no idea what either of these guys wants in an OC nor who they have "ties" to.
Maybe its just a pipe dream but given that Gamble has been a west coast guy for so long, maybe he will look to Jeff Tedford, who I personally think would be an excellent choice here.
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr
Here's an updated entry on Sparano's dismissal | http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/201..._jets_off.html
Cam Cameron is a goddamn nightmare. I want him nowhere near this team.

|Climbed the North Face of Grand Paradiso from Refugio Chabod. Started at 3:00 in the morning and summited at 8:00. Back via normal route. Several parties on the route, which was in excellent conditions. Some even decented it on skies. Fantastic weather with clear skies and allmost no wind. A great first north face experience.

|Solo to the summit on a cloudy day. Much snow and no crevasses on the normalroute.
I carried snowblades up there, but didn´t use them going down, because the visibility became worse during the day, so skiing down was not a good idea.

Such a pity we didn't have a nice panorama.
Definitely worth to climb it :)

Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2006
|Agree with Julesblaidd, adding that we jumped both bigger crevasses instead of wading through them using the ladder there... The climb was great and enjoyable, the weather was fortunately fair, the clouds only prevented us to see further mountains.
On descent we just passed the bergschrund, when we spotted huge blocks of rock falling down from the summit block - just from where we were eating some 15 minutes ago...

|The icy bottom of Gran Paradiso glacier was 40-45° steep so we did an easy ice-climbing... :-) It was fun. There were two "bigger" crevasses on the glacier and some smaller.
The route is very long but in nice weather it's beautiful... in bad weather it sucks... We fortunatelly had sunshine and blue sky. :-)

|Bright sunny warm day, very little wind. Could you ask for better? Well crap snow conditions... refrozen slush transitioning into windbuffed satstrugi.
Took three hours and some change for the climb up and around an hour on the way down, mostly because I had to take off the skis and bushwack the last bit in the thick forest without snow cover.
Hey if you do this one, make sure climb the REAL summit. I made fun of a guide that was ferrying 11 clients to the fake summit wit the little Mother Mary on the top. It isn't the the summit and you miss out on the best climbing, which is in between there and the real summit, 20 minutes or so of scrambling away.

|I hiked this mountain in the summer of 1998 as a member of 'Alpine Ram', a 15 man British Army Expedition climbing in France and Italy. It was truly the highlight of our trip. After a very early start from Rifugio V Emanuele, we summited at approximately 11:OOam. There was only light low lying cloud in the valleys, so we had a fantastic panoramic view, with Mont Blanc off in the distance. I would highly recomend this to anyone who is going to be in the area, and are looking for a rewarding challenge.

I had a buyer from Argentina for my unfinished home built aircraft. For tax purposes, the Argentine government required the aircraft not be registered by the FAA. I sent a letter to the FAA requesting a letter stating that the aircraft had not been registered.
The FAA's reply:
"Your request for the FAA to notify Argentina cannot be accomplished as the aircraft has never been registered."

What I want to know is why the Republicans voted against this. I'm seeing a few possibilities.
I'm betting on "herd mentality": if you want to be re-elected, stick with the herd.
I also believe most if not all the democrats voted yes for the same reason.
I do agree with the herd-mentality, but that still means someone needs to lead the herd. Who was that and why?

Whilst the products are good, the communication & customer service is far from impressive.

Upon finally receiving the package, one blind was MISSING. Jane (customer service) stated it would be made a priority and sent out and received in less than 5 business days. 8 business days later still no blind.

Today was kind of like summer (only not 100 degrees) the water level was up and it was calm in the morning, caught a trout before sunrise and then it rained in the afternoon.
Anyway, fished middle lagoon with fairly good success caught a trout and a few reds really early. The water was up by a noticeable amount and very very clear, just beautiful. Fish were tailing and I got several great shots at singles, small groups and one school. Saw a few blue crabs nervously wandering the flat and several shrimp jumping up around tailing fish as well as plenty of baitfish... they are eating GOOD out there! Caught ten reds, one trout and one stingray... definitely a new fly rod first for me. got off the water before 1:00 and of course it started raining as soon as I showed up at the ramp. Hope some of you guys got out today because this weekend looks terrible plenty of time to prepare for next weekend though.
