Khronos Updates Its OpenVX 1.0 Provisional Specification
Published on 11 July 2014 09:43 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
4 Comments
The Khronos Group this morning released an updated version of the OpenVX 1.0 provisional specification.
OpenVX is the industry-developed hardware acceleration API for computer vision applications and libraries. As explained on the
OpenVX page
, "OpenVX enables performance and power optimized computer vision algorithms for use cases such as face, body and gesture tracking, smart video surveillance, automatic driver assistance systems, object and scene reconstruction, augmented reality, visual inspection, robotics and more. OpenVX enables significant implementation innovation while maintaining a consistent API for developers. An OpenVX application expresses vision processing holistically as a graph of function nodes. An OpenVX implementer can optimize graph execution through a wide variety of techniques such as: acceleration of nodes on CPUs, GPUs, DSPs or dedicated hardware, compiler optimizations, node coalescing, and tiled execution to keep sections of processed images in local memories as they flow through the graph."
The updated OpenVX 1.0 provisional specification is available from the
Khronos Registry
. The OpenVX specification was
first unveiled last November

Preview: Stony Brook Seawolves
Could extra depth give the Seawolves their first NCAA tournament berth?
Stony Brook Seawolves
2012-13: 25-8 (14-2)
In-conference offense: 1.07 points per possession (1st)
In-conference defense: 0.86 points allowed per possession (1st)
Losing in the America East tournament semifinals in 2013 spoiled the school's best season in Division I history. Conference Player of the Year Tommy Brenton graduated, but the Seawolves return four starters from last season's run. Head coach Steve Pikiell wants more consistent production from his senior guards, Anthony Jackson and Dave Coley, to supplement Brenton's absence of filling the stat sheet with 8.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Coley and Jackson both have the ability to torch teams with their mix of mid-range and 3-point jumpers. They combined for 40 points in their first postseason victory -- an NIT win over UMass.

The OPENING WAS ELECTRIC while Ron waited for the audience to stop screaming with excitement!!
The opening applause lasted two (2) full minutes. The audience was going crazy with cheers forever, before, Ron even had the chance to say hi.
That's why he looks humbled on the intro.
It was incredible.
The noise in the Sun Dome was extremely satisfying. The cheers would not stop.

They went to school together 50 years ago. And though they shared at least one class period together, Gene Taylor and Jeri Emrich said they don't remember knowing each other.
But two weeks ago, I helped bring them together after Monterey High School Choir Director Jeffrey Delman found an old record hidden under some boxes and asked me to find alumni from the 1964 Monterey Cantores.
Like I said, Taylor, 66, and Emrich, 67, didn't remember each other, but they quickly fell into an easy rhythm of "Do you remember?" and "Back then..."

By now, you may have heard the rumor that Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay may be available in trade discussions. The question is, when is he ever not on the trading block? The high-flyer's name seems to come up season after season for one reason or another, from failing to take over as the franchise player the team may have hoped he'd become, to possible chemistry issues with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol due to his sometimes-chucking tendencies. This probably would not have been

ICON D200 Truck
The 2012 SEMA Show is happening in Las Vegas, NV this week and the ICON D200 truck will make its big debut. The truck (partly built by Banks Power) combines modern technology with the old school look of Dodge's landmark 1965 crew cab truck. The ICON truck was created to be a modernized daily driver truck that captured the brawny, iconic design of the classic Dodge truck.
The resto-mod uses the new Dodge 3500 chassis and mechanical systems and is powered by a 5.9-liter L Cummins engine that provides out 975 lb.-ft. of torque. The truck also has a Six-Gun diesel tuner, a Monster Ram intake manifold, a dual exhaust, a Banks Brake exhaust braking system, and a 4.5-inch Baja 1000 Chase lift kit with Fox shocks. The design will also include Hutchinson 17 x 8 Monster WA-1175 series rims in a matte black finish shod with BF Goodrich all-terrain 37" tires. The interior features a custom audio package and is dressed in free-range American Indian Reservation bison leather.

The spoof beer ad produced by the Marijuana Policy Project highlights the relative safety of marijuana compared to alcohol by characterizing marijuana as a "new 'beer'" with "no calories," "no hangovers," and "no violence" associated with its use."

internetnut's Note:
I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Obesity Help. It was posted by Carol H. She says "The ingredient list is specific, and substitutions won't work. To make this pie you must have Steel's Country Maple Syrup, which can be ordered. When I tried to make this recipe using other brands of sugar-free syrup, the custard became muddy and quite frankly, tasted awful. The Steel's syrup is very thick, and that makes a huge difference. Even though this pie is sweet, it doesn't have any sugar to act as a preservative and must be kept in the refrigerator, or it will spoil".
My Private Note
Serves: 10-12
Units: US | Metric
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup Splenda granular
- 1 pinch table salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup steel's sugar-free maple syrup (available on the website)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, plus
- 10 pecan halves
- 1 (9 inch) homemade unbaked pie shells (not deep dish)
- whipped cream, sweetened with
- Splenda granular
- 1Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- 2Beat the eggs in a large bowl until well blended and stir in the Splenda, salt, vanilla, butter, and syrup. Mix in the chopped pecans and pour the filling into the pie crust. Arrange the pecan halves evenly on the custard and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the sides are set but the center is still a bit soft.
- 3Cool to room temperature and serve in small wedges with Splenda-sweetened whipped cream.

(AP) JUBA, South Sudan - Leaders in South Sudan say the civilian death toll from a weekend attack in a remote part of the country has risen from 41 to 79.
Officials say the Sunday attack was carried out by rebels loyal to militia leader David Yau Yau, who has denied his forces were involved.
Twic East County Commissioner Dau Akoi Jurkuch said Wednesday that the death toll has risen to 79 and the number of wounded stands at 87. Diing Akol, a top Jonglei official, said dead bodies of rebels confirm Yau Yau fighters were involved.
South Sudan accuses Khartoum of supporting Yau Yau in order to sabotage plans to build an oil pipeline through Ethiopia to the Port of Djibouti and block plans to explore for oil in Jonglei state.

As an individual I can decide which platform I would like to target with my shiny new application, but when working for a company we have to target both industry leaders at the same time. Although I like a good challenge, I am really glad the mobile world now only consists of iOS and Android.
When I first started looking at building consumer applications, Blackberry was still in the picture. My enterprise mobile experience consists of all Microsoft technologies, but that was in a different lifetime using Windows CE, Pocket PC, and Windows Mobile.
|This book is a great book for looking at how some of the most commonly used functionality compares across the Android and iOS environments. I have listed the table of contents below to give you an idea of what topics are covered.
Part I: Overview of Mobile App Development
1. Why Mobile Apps?
2. App Design Issues and Considerations
Part II: Developing the Android App
3. Using Eclipse for Android Development
4. Android Navigation and Interface Design
5. Persistent Data in Android
6. Lists in Android: Navigation and Information Display
7. Maps and Location in Android
8. Access to Hardware and Sensors in Android
Part III: Developing the iOS App
9. Using Xcode for iOS Development
10. iOS Navigation and Interface Design
11. Persistent Data in iOS
12. Tables in iOS: Navigation and Information Display
13. Maps and Location in iOS
14. Access to Hardware and Sensors in iOS
Part IV: Business Issues
15. Monetizing Apps
16. Publishing Apps
Part V: Appendixes
A. Installing Eclipse and Setup for Android Development
B. Installing Xcode and Registering Physical Devices
C. Introduction to Objective-C
The authors tell us in the beginning of the book that it "is not intended to be a comprehensive work on the subject. The book assumes programming knowledge. At a minimum you should have taken at least one college-level course in the Java or C programming languages." and "Experience with an IDE is a plus." I completely agree.
I think that you should also have some experience with Objective-C. Although the authors provide an introduction to Objective-C, I am glad I had prior experience. I also think you should have a decent grasp of Android concepts like Activities, Layouts, Fragments, and Intents. Neither are needed, while at the same time having both helped me.
What about Swift's impact? Swift put a big crinkle into a lot of people's learning plans. I know that as soon as it was announced a lot of people dropped out of training they had planned. While getting started in Objective-C may not 'seem' to make sense, continuing to learn the iOS libraries used to accomplish framework tasks does.
Also, I don't think it is going to be possible for an iOS developer to not know their Objective-C and C. In other words, I still think it makes sense to continue with your Objective-C learning plans. I have no plans to stop learning either one anytime soon. So the short answer is, that in my opinion, this book is as relevant now as it was the day before the Swift announcement was made.
The authors make the chapter's code samples available for download. I ran into several issues getting some of the projects to compile and run in both the Android and the iOS code. I got most of them running in a relatively short period of time. I didn't have the time, or the need, to get the rest of them working.
The quality of the book itself is great. It is printed on high quality paper, and it is in color. Color always makes reading the code easier and is much nicer when looking at screenshots of the apps, Eclipse, Xcode, or dialogs.
My favorite part of the book is being able to flip back and forth between the iOS and Android topics to see how each platform handles the implementation of the topic's functionality. The book has really come in handy with the current project I've just started. We are developing an Android and iOS client which will run against a RESTful service implemented with Microsoft's ASP.NET Web API framework.
All in all I think this is a great read for those that need to develop for both Android and iOS.

Fundamentally, SDN is still mostly about network plumbing. While plumbing may be useful to tinker with, what you can do with your plumbing is far more intriguing. A rigid interpretation of SDN confines it to Layers 2 and 3, and that's reasonable. But SDN opens opportunities for novel constructions in Layers 4 to 7 that solve real operational problems in data centers. "Data center," in fact, might become anachronistic - data is everywhere, constantly on the move, seemingly always overflowing. Net...

THE ACTOR'S NIGHTMARE and THE ACTOR, two one acts about the challenges and comedic aspects of being…an actor. Christopher Durang's THE ACTOR'S NIGHTMARE is an account of every actor's worst nightmare, waking up on an unknown stage in an unknown show, unable to recall his lines. And to make worse, the play keeps changing. THE ACTOR, written by Horton Foote, takes a different approach to the struggles of being an actor. How does a young, aspiring actor bloom in the conservative atmosphere of Texas? Maureen Shea directs these two one acts as a single evening of provocative theatre during the Emerson Stage season.

Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Erosion Control
Title: Native plants for controlling erosion in Fairmont WV
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I'm interested in finding native plants, either perennials or grasses, that would help control erosion on a fairly steep slope. The area is partly shaded.
This sounds like a candidate for a Meadow Garden. Please read our How-To Article on Meadow Gardening for more information.This will involve self-seeding annual wildflowers, perennial flowers that will come up from roots, and a variety of grasses. Although these should probably all be seeded in the Spring in your area, which is USDA Hardiness Zone 6a, that is also a difficult time because of spring rains. To prevent seeds from washing away and then sprouting somewhere you didn't want them, we suggest you investigate an erosion control blanket. These will help to hold the soil, in which the seeds have been planted, long enough for them to sprout and begin to put down roots to hold the plant and the soil in place. Many of these blankets are biodegradable and will eventually decompose into the soil, leaving the mature plants to do the job.
We particularly recommend grasses for an eroding slope, because they have long fibrous roots that will grip the soil and keep it in place. These are not lawn grasses to be mowed, but more like prairie grasses. We will be choosing grasses that grow natively around Marion County, so they should have no problems adapting to your soil and climate. From our Native Plant Database, we will choose grasses that we feel will suit your purpose, selecting on "part shade," which we consider to be 2 to 6 hours of sun daily. From our Recommended Species for Vermont, we will also choose some herbaceous blooming plants to provide color. We will not recommend any shrubs because woody plants will take over a meadow garden if you are not vigilant. All of these will fit into the goal of having a wildflower meadow. Follow each plant link to the page in our database on that particular plant to learn what its growing conditions and moisture requirements are. You can do your own search using the same techniques, and find other plants that better suit you.
West Virginia native grasses for erosion:
Andropogon gerardii (big bluestem)
Carex blanda (eastern woodland sedge)
Calamagrostis canadensis (bluejoint)
Muhlenbergia schreberi (nimblewill)
Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem)
Tridens flavus (purpletop tridens)
West Virginia native herbaceous blooming plants for a meadow garden:
Aquilegia canadensis (red columbine)
Conoclinium coelestinum (blue mistflower)
Monarda didyma (scarlet beebalm)
Lobelia siphilitica (great blue lobelia)
Coreopsis tinctoria (golden tickseed)
Symphyotrichum novae-angliae (New England aster)

Who? Michael Sheen (bossy), Timothy Spall (fat), Stephen Graham (Billy Bremner)
What's it about? Kipper ties, flares and Brian Clough's 44-day managerial reign at Leeds United in 1974. Adapted from David Peace's bestselling novel of the same name, it tells the story of Clough's hatred of Leeds, its players and the former manager (and arch rival) Don Revie. Michael Sheen plays 'Ol Big Head, whose mercurial, wholehearted and often very pissed approach to management should make this a much better football movie than Goal 2. Although Michael Sheen does look a bit camp. Brian Clough was not camp.

John F. Kennedy's 1960 visit to Berks remembered as assassination anniversary nears
Updated On: Nov 19 2013 03:47:18 PM CST
As the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination approaches, many are recalling his visit to Berks County as a candidate for president more than three years earlier.
Kennedy, then a United States senator from Massachusetts, spoke from a podium in front of the Crystal Restaurant on Penn Street in Reading on Fri., Sept. 16, 1960, addressing a throng of supporters standing shoulder to shoulder.
"I think in the revolutions of the 1960s, if we take the path of progress, if we look forward, not backward, it can be for the United States and the free world a rising son and the beginning of a great new day," Kennedy was quoted as saying in remarks prepared for his visit to Reading.
"Roaring welcome greets Kennedy," appeared as the headline across the front page of the Reading Eagle that afternoon, with the crowd of onlookers estimated to be 30,000 strong.
"It was as many as you could hold in Penn Square. It sort of reminded you of Times Square in New York on New Year's Eve," recalled George Meiser IX, a local historian who attended the speech, in an interview with WFMZ's Mike Reinert for his 69 News "Time Train" segment.
While in Reading, Kennedy's shirt was reportedly torn by some enthusiastic young ladies in the crowd. On his way to Lancaster, Kennedy stopped at a service station south of Shillington, where the owner welcomed the candidate in to his neighboring home so that he could change his shirt.
Kennedy would go on to defeat his Republican opponent, Richard Nixon, in the November election, although Kennedy lost Berks County by more than 11,000 votes.

How to talk to your kids about the Connecticut school shootingon December 14, 2012 @ 4:57 pm (Updated: 5:06 pm - 12/14/12 )
With news of the tragic school shooting in Connecticut sending shockwaves across the country, it's inevitable many kids will hear about it and worry if the same thing could happen to them. But experts say there are steps you can take to help them deal with the tragedy.
The first thing you can do is turn off the wall to wall coverage, says Dr. Bob Hilt, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Seattle Children's Hospital.
Hilt says a number of studies have shown children can suffer long-term emotional damage from exposure to traumatic news events, even from a TV or radio that just happens to be on in the background.
"Children tend to be aware of everything that's going on around them," Hilt says.
The impact can differ greatly depending on their age. While a 17-year-old might be able to handle much of the news, it's a lot different for a younger child.
"Young children tend to personalize everything and worry it could happen to them," Hilt says.
Hilt says it's imperative parents talk about the tragedy with their children if they know about it and assure them even though bad things happen, they are safe and you are not worried about anything happening to them.
Those assurances may not be enough. And it could be weeks before kids show any signs they're having a tough time dealing with the emotions.
Hilt says some of the signs include a child becoming more withdrawn, anxious, shy, irritable or throwing tantrums. They might also have difficulty sleeping and nightmares.
"It may be they pop up with questions days, weeks later that show that they're really struggling with things," he says.
Hilt recommends keeping regular schedules and routines so kids feel a sense of normalcy. He also advises doing something positive like volunteering or sending a care package to the families of the victims letting them know you care.
And check yourself. Kids pick up on their parents fears and anxieties. If you're worried, they'll sense it. If you or one of your children seem like you're struggling, don't be afraid to seek professional help.

A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...
