Tensilica vs. Ceva in imaging/vision IP core battle
5 comments
NEW YORK--Rapidly evolving imaging and embedded vision algorithms are opening up a new battleground for DSP core IP companies in the high-performance and power-efficient imaging needs of mobile handsets, automotive and video products.
Following Cevas introduction a year ago of MM3101, a programmable, low-power imaging and vision platform, Tensilica Tuesday (Feb. 12) rolled out an imaging and video dataplane processor unit (DPU), called IVP.
The IVP DPU, a licensable semiconductor IP core, is designed to offload complex imaging features from the host processor. While the IVP IP core is available now for the general market, two unnamed Tensilica customers are deploying it in their system silicon, according to Chris Rowen, Tensilicas founder and chief technology officer.
The IVP DPU, capable of 500 billion pixel operations per second per watt, is fabricated by TSMC in 28-nm process technology. It can take up less than 0.5 square millimeters per core, according to Tensilica, making it suitable for low-cost applications.
Pushing the demand for an imaging/video processor core are new functions such as high dynamic range image capture, face recognition and tracking used in mobile handsets and digital cameras; gesture control, video post-processing used in DTVs; front-collision warning, lane departure warning and others for advance driver assistance systems.
These complex imaging/vision algorithms are evolving so rapidly that mobile handset and automotive companies expect to incorporate such new features in their systems in weeks, not in months, explained Gary Brown, director of imaging/video at Tensilica.
Options for system vendors looking for imaging/video processing solutions range from keeping it all in the CPU to offloading imaging to the GPU, or adding hardwired logic dedicated to imaging functions.
"If video processing--but nothing else--runs on quad cores of A8 at 1.5GHz, for example, it can easily burn 3 watts of power, Rowen said.
Its especially tough for mobile handsets or digital cameras to do so on a CPU alone, when such consumer systems need to run algorithms such as high dynamic range continuously while taking pictures, Rowen explained.
Tensilica's IVP processor core architecture.
Offloading imaging to the GPU is yet another option. Noting that a GPUs focus is on floating point and 3-D graphics, Rowen cautioned that this modification could cripple imaging efficiency and increase area. Besides, GPUs are hard to program, he added.
Jeff Bier, president of Berkeley Design Technology Inc., explains that processing real-time image and/or video data typically requires 10s of billions of operations per second. This is because were applying complex algorithms to the real-time data, and extracting meaning from pixels--which is the essence of embedded vision--is a hard problem.
Further, that hard problem is unsolved in a general sense, Bier added. It means algorithm development approaches tend to be very experimental and iterative. That, in turn, demands imaging/embedded vision solutions that are programmable and easy to develop, he said.

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells.
Carcinoma; Malignant tumor
Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells forget how to die.
There are many different kinds of cancer. Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue.
There are many causes of cancer, including:
However, the cause of many cancers remains unknown.
The most common cause of cancer-related death is lung cancer.
The three most common cancers in men in the United States are:
In women in the United States, the three most common cancers are:
Some cancers are more common in certain parts of the world. For example, in Japan, there are many cases of stomach cancer, but in the United States, this type of cancer is unusual. Differences in diet or environmental factors may play a role.
Some other types of cancers include:
Symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the cancer. For example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Colon cancer often causes diarrhea, constipation, and blood in the stool.
Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all. In certain cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, symptoms often do not start until the disease has reached an advanced stage.
The following symptoms can occur with most cancers:
Like symptoms, the signs of cancer vary based on the type and location of the tumor. Common tests include the following:
Most cancers are diagnosed by biopsy. Depending on the location of the tumor, the biopsy may be a simple procedure or a serious operation. Most patients with cancer have CT scans to determine the exact location and size of the tumor or tumors.
A cancer diagnosis is difficult to cope with. It is important, however, that you discuss the type, size, and location of the cancer with your doctor when you are diagnosed. You also will want to ask about treatment options, along with their benefits and risks.
It's a good idea to have someone with you at the doctor's office to help you get through the diagnosis. If you have trouble asking questions after hearing about your diagnosis, the person you bring with you can ask them for you.
Treatment varies based on the type of cancer and its stage. The stage of a cancer refers to how much it has grown and whether the tumor has spread from its original location.
Although treatment for cancer can be difficult, there are many ways to keep up your strength.
If you have radiation treatment, know that:
If you are going through chemotherapy, you should eat right. Chemotherapy causes your immune system to weaken, so you should avoid people with colds or the flu. You should also get plenty of rest, and don't feel as though you have to accomplish tasks all at once.
It will help you to talk with family, friends, or a support group about your feelings. Work with your health care providers throughout your treatment. Helping yourself can make you feel more in control.
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer often causes a lot of anxiety and can affect a person's entire life. There are many resources for cancer patients.
See: Cancer resources
The outlook depends on the type of cancer and the stage of the cancerr when diagnosed.
Some cancers can be cured. Other cancers that are not curable can still be treated effectively. Some patients can live for many years with cancer. Other tumors are quickly life threatening.
Complications depend on the type and stage of cancer. The cancer may spread.
Contact your health care provider if you develop symptoms of cancer.
You can reduce the risk of getting a cancerous (malignant) tumor by:
Cancer screenings, such as mammography and breast examination for breast cancer and colonoscopy for colon cancer, may help catch these cancers at their early stages when they are most treatable. Some people at high risk for developing certain cancers can take medication to reduce their risk.

Drop down and give us 10. No seriously. Read below and we're going to show you how the push up is the all time best and most effective way to stay fit and lean.
The Starting Position: Come to a hands and knees position (quadruped) on the mat with your hands directly under your shoulders; fingers facing forward, or slightly inward and knees under your hips. Engage the abdominal and pull the shoulder blades down your back.
Step 2
Reach one leg out and away followed by the other leg, bringing you to plank position. Keep the abdominals/core engaged to brace the torso. Your head should be aligned with your spine. Your feet are together with your toes tucked under and your heels reaching toward the wall behind you.
Step 3
Downward Phase: Slowly bend the elbows, lowering your body toward the floor. Keep the torso rigid and the head aligned with your spine. Do not allow your low back or ribcage to sag or your hips to hike upward. Engage your butt (glutes) and thigh (quadriceps) muscles to help maintain stability and a rigid body. Try to lower yourself until your chest or chin touch the mat or floor. Your elbows should stay close to the sides of your body or be allowed to flare outwards slightly.
Step 4
Upward Phase: Press upward through your arms, straightening the elbows. Keep the torso rigid and head aligned with your spine. Imagine pushing the floor away from you. Do not allow your low back to sag or your hips to hike upward.
Step 5
An alternative position is to keep your fingers facing forward and your elbows close to your sides during the downward phase. This shifts the emphasis from the chest muscles onto the triceps and may reduce stresses in the shoulder joint.
Pushing through the outside surface and heel of your palm provides greater force in your press and stability to your shoulders.

Emporia State wants to set Zumba world recordAugust 22, 2011
The state of Texas may be known for measuring everything as big, but organizers at Emporia State University want to show that Emporia, Kan., can do Zumba bigger and better than Texas.
ESU's Recreation Services and Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation want at least 1,500 people to fill Welch Stadium on Sept. 1 to set a new Guinness World Record. The City of Brownsville, Texas, and the University of Texas Houston School of Public Health set the record April 30 when 1,223 people showed up for a Zumba class.
Zumba is an easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning "fitness party." The ESU event will be taught by Zumba Jammer Amy Hayden of Emporia. As a Zumba Jammer, Hayden is a choreography expert who provides other Zumba instructors with innovative, new choreography to spice up their classes.
The free event is open to everyone.
"We want to encourage everyone in the community to come help us reach the record," said Whitney Runer, assistant director of recreation services at ESU. "And don't worry if you have never done Zumba before because no prior experience is necessary to join."
It's simple to participate — just be on Jones Field at ESU's Welch Stadium by 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1. The gates open at 6:15 p.m. and you'll be given a wristband. Give yourself enough time to get in and be ready to Zumba at 7 p.m. The class runs one hour.
"This is an exciting opportunity for us to get ESU in the record books," said Runer, "and it's going to be a fun way to get involved with ESU."
For more information, call Runer at (620) 341-5944.

FINALS DAY: Sussex Sharks name squad for Friends Life t20 Finals Day23-Aug-2012
The Sussex Sharks return to FL t20 Finals Day for the first time since they won the competition in 2009 and now make their 3rd finals day appearance. Finals day cannot come quick enough with the team flying high in the competition and posting 200+ scores in 4 of the group and quarter final stages. Strong support from the Sussex faithful is expected at The SWALEC Stadium with an army of support making their way down the M4 early on Saturday for what is, for many, the highlight of the domestic season.
Sussex Sharks have announced a 16-man squad for the Friends Life t20 Finals Day in which they take on Yorkshire Carnegie, who are making their finals day debut, in the first of the semi-finals at The SWALEC stadium on Saturday with an 11:00am start.
The Sharks reached Finals Day by beating Gloucestershire Gladiators by 39 runs in front of a packed house here at The PROBIZ, with the highlight being Scott Styris's stunning unbeaten 100 from 37 balls, described by many as the most brutal T20 century seen for many a year.
The Sharks are also boosted by the return of wicketkeeper-batsman Matt Prior from recent England duty, who was also voted as England's Man-of-the-series and by the inclusion of Luke Wright who was selected, by England, in the final squad for the T20 World Cup taking place in Sri Lanka during September.
The Sussex squad is as follows:
Amjad Khan
WAT Beer
BC Brown
JS Gatting
MW Goodwin
Naveed Arif Gondal
CJ Liddle
MW Machan
SJ Magoffin
CD Nash
MS Panesar
MJ Prior

Canon EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM
Further readings for the Canon EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The EOS 7D Mark II is Canon's flagship APS-C sensor DSLR, boasting a 20Mp resolution and a host of high-end features. It's a popular choice for many serious enthusiasts and semi-pro photographers, so we've tested over 300 lenses on it to help you pick out the best one for you. In this first part of a two-part review, we round up the best zoom lenses for the Canon EOS 7D Mark II.
This is the second and final part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D. This time we've assessed zoom lenses from both the Canon and third party makers to see how well they perform on the camera, and like before we'll not only reveal the best performers but also take a closer look at the more accessibly priced options.
Following the lens recommendations for Nikon D7100 and entry-level D3200, we've now turned our attention to the new mid-range D5300. We've tested the camera with more than 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses have the best image quality when paired with the new camera.
Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone.
With its compact and lightweight body, the Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7 is the smallest DSLR in the firm's line-up. While it adopts a similar performing sensor to the EOS 700D, the body is around 25% of the size of that model by volume and presents its own set of challenges when selecting lenses for it. In this review, we've taken a look at the optical quality of 130 different lenses fitted to the camera but this time we're also making some limited recommendations about the handling and video capabilities.
After comparing the imaging chain of the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III across a raft of lenses, we've now turned our attention to the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i. The 18.1-Mpix 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor in this camera is similar to those of the same size and pixel count used in the firm's other models, including the semi-pro EOS 7D, so it may still be of interest even if you don't own a EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i.
Refreshed to include Canon's latest evolution in autofocus technology, the Stepper Motor, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM offers ultra quiet continuous autofocus during video capture. With its predecessor the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS still available and for less money however, if you're not interested in video capture, which version of this lens should you go for and how does this latest model compare to the competition? Our Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM review has the answers for you.
The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM (29-216mm in 35mm) has many seductive strong points for photographers and videographers. Here are our first impressions:

I am continuing the thought I introduced in another thread as a tangent:
I should add that this has been my view at almost every phase -- everywhere I ended up, at some point I would think, "Gosh, I have had horrible luck with housing and places." Then I would try to get to...wherever else I could. It seems like my whole life has been that story playing over and over. If I think too much about it, I fall into the "why does this always happen to me" spiral, which I want to avoid.Quote:
One thing dharma-wise that stands out to me now as these things are happening, is that I seem to have had a lot of "bad karma" (not the best term) in terms of living space, housing stability and comfort, things like that. Moving around a lot, places sub-standard or becoming infested with some creature, not ever having money to buy a house. Then there's the granddaddy of all my complaints...being (currently) in a region that I really dislike and feel miserable in.
There must be some lesson in this...could I have your thoughts? I might start another thread about it.
Now that a tiny bit of clarity is starting to peek through the fog I was in recently, I had the thought that this was somehow a lesson to teach me to detach from "place". But then I start thinking, "Ok, so if I start detaching from the idea of having a house/location I love...*then* can I have a house/location I love?" :rolleyes: [morehappy]
This is tricky for me to wrap my head around and navigate, so I would sure love to hear your thoughts.

1 Coyote Café/ La Cantina
132 W. Water St.
The Coyote Café has been through several life stages in its long history in Santa Fe, and even when some of those stages were a little rocky, the Coyote Cantina, its rooftop bar, has always been a blast.
Now that Coyote has a new chef, Eric DiStefano (formerly of Geronimo), the restaurant and bar are both rockin. With a commanding view of the Plaza area, the Cantina is a superb place to meet up for drinks after work, celebrate a milestone or just have a margarita for the hell of it. The drinks are creative, colorful and always delicious. And now the food is more exciting than ever. It's interesting, but not intimidating. There's a yuzu ceviche that tastes the same whether or not you know that yuzu is an ugly little Asian citrus fruit.
Just tell the picky eaters that the pasilla-marinated beef desebrada flautas you ordered are taquitos—they'll love them.

REPORT: Wright knock at right time sinks Yorkshire24-May-2012
Luke Wright smashed a stunning century for Sussex Sharks as they saw off Yorkshire Carnegie by four wickets in the Clydesdale Bank 40 this evening.
Making his first appearance at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove, since July last year mainly due to injury, Wright hit 103 from only 95 balls including 10 fours and 2 sixes as the Sharks coasted to victory with 37 balls remaining.
On a balmy night in Hove, Sussex were set what looked like it could be a stiff target as Yorkshire made 238 for 9 from their 40 overs. Amjad Khan was the star of the show with the ball for Sussex, taking 3 for 51 from his 8 overs, whilst Chris Liddle and Chris Nash, bowling first change, took two wickets apiece. Andrew Gale, Gary Balance and Joe Root all made contributions of over 40 for the Tykes as everyone chipped in.
Nash's 44 set the tone for the innings as Sussex really got off to a flyer in reply, having lost stand-in skipper Ed Joyce for a duck. The Irishman was captaining the side this evening due to Michael Yardy missing the match as a precautionary measure due to a finger injury sustained in the nets, although he should be fit for tomorrow's LV=County Championship clash with Nottinghamshire.
The opener has nullified the threat of demon Australian bowler Mitchell Starc but Wright, batting at 3, really showed the Hove faithful what they had missed whilst he had been away though, pummelling the visiting attack to all parts of The PROBIZ. The game was already won with Sussex only needing four more runs from a mountain of overs when Adam Lyth threw the stumps down to run him out, but the whole ground stood to applaud the returning hero.

A forearm fracture is a break in one or both bones of the forearm.
The forearm consists of two bones:
- Radius—the smaller of the two bones, runs along the thumb side of your arm
- Ulna—the larger of the two bones, runs along the little finger side of your arm
A forearm fracture is caused by trauma to the bone. Trauma may include:
- Fall on an outstretched arm
- Fall directly on the forearm
- Direct blow to the forearm
- Twisting the arm beyond the elbow's normal range of motion
Risk Factors
Forearm fracture is more common in older adults.
Factors that may increase your risk of forearm fracture include:
- Osteoporosis
- Certain diseases or conditions that result in bone or mineral loss, such as abnormal or absent menstrual cycles, or post- menopause
- Certain diseases and conditions that weaken bones, such as tumors or cysts
- Poor nutrition
- Certain congenital bone conditions
- Decreased muscle mass
- Participating in contact sports
- Violence
A forearm fracture may cause:
- Pain, often severe
- Tenderness, swelling, and bruising around the injury
- Decreased range of motion
- A lump or visible deformity over the fracture site
You will be asked about your symptoms, your physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The injured area will be examined.
Imaging tests assess the bones, surrounding structures, and soft tissues. This can be done with:
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with your forearm. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Initial Care
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep your forearm in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint, brace, or cast. A sling may be necessary to help stabilize your arm.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. Your doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
- Without surgery—you will have anesthesia to decrease pain while the doctor moves the pieces back into place
- With surgery—pins, screws, plates, or wires may be needed to reconnect the pieces and hold them in place
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, your child may need to see a specialist. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
The following medications may be advised:
- Over-the-counter medication to reduce inflammation and pain
- Prescription pain medication
Check with your doctor before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye syndrome. Ask your doctor which medications are safe for your child.
You may be referred to physical therapy or rehabilitation to start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises.
To help reduce your chance of a forearm fracture, take these steps:
- Do not put yourself at risk for trauma to the bone.
- Always wear a seatbelt when driving or riding in a car.
- Do weight-bearing and strengthening exercises regularly to build strong bones.
- Wear proper padding and safety equipment when participating in sports or activities.
To help reduce falling hazards at work and home, take these steps:
- Clean spills and slippery areas right away.
- Remove tripping hazards such as loose cords, rugs, and clutter.
- Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower.
- Install grab bars next to the toilet and in the shower or tub.
- Put in handrails on both sides of stairways.
- Walk only in well-lit rooms, stairs, and halls.
- Keep flashlights on hand in case of a power outage.

Children's show closes Summer Theatre seasonJuly 18, 2013
Closing out the 2013 season of ESU Summer Theatre is our children's show, "Still Life with Iris" written by Steven Dietz. The first recipient of the Kennedy Center's Fund for New American Plays Award, this fantastical adventure takes flight on a little girl's search for her home. It remains one of the most popular productions presented by Kansas City's Coterie Theatre.
Iris (Kylie Geiman, Sophomore, Louisburg) lives with her mother (Annie Rosenbrook, Senior, Merriam) and father (Colter Lemmon, Junior, Crawford, Nebraska) in the magical land of Nocturno where workers make, by night, all of the things we see in the world by day. In Nocturno memories are not kept in people's minds, but in beautiful "past coats" worn by each citizen. When a past coat is torn, a trip to the memory mender (John Lloyd Stafford III, Sophomore, Drury University) is in store.
When Iris is taken from her home, and her past coat is removed, she finds herself trapped in the land of the Great Goods with the only memory of her home in a button that she clings to throughout her journey. In the land of the Great Goods, the rulers, Gretta and Grotto serve as her parents. Claiming that she is the most perfect among children, Iris feels like a prisoner in her new home. Here she meets new friends, Annabel Lee (Aubrey Near, Senior, Independence) and Mozart (Landon Noll, Junior, Winchester) who help free her and bring her home to her mother in Nocturno. Michael Stauffer (Senior, Newton) will be playing the Bolt Bender and Mister HimToo.
This family adventure is under the direction of Theresa Mitchell. The design team includes Doug Dion (sets), Amanda Dura (costumes) and Noah Mefford (lights). Mike Koetkemeyer and Kelly Roberts will be serving as the stage management team. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. in Karl C. Bruder Theatre July 24-26. The final performance on Saturday, July 27, will be a 2 p.m. family matinee. Individual tickets and season passes are available from the university box office at 620-341-6378.

The detail in this mold is extraordinary! This mold is so flexible, your figures will come out with every point in shape. The mold is so sharp and realistic, and best of all, nothing sticks to it!! This mold is very soft and flexible and can easily go from as high as 450 degrees to the freezer without affecting the mold! Kathy's Tip: Be sure to make your gumpaste ahead of time (by adding Tylose Powder to your Fondant), wrap it up and let it sit for 20-30 minutes so it can firm up slightly. Then place it into the mold, and it will come out much more easily, without stretching. Letting it sit in the mold for just a minute will help it come out even easier. With multiple sizes and cavities, this is a great deal. These look great painted gold!

Emporia State President Michael R. Lane stepping downMay 5, 2011
Dr. Michael R. Lane, president of Emporia State University since 2006, announced this afternoon that he is stepping down. Lane made the following announcement to ESU faculty, staff and students shortly after 2:30 p.m.:
"It is with mixed emotions and after much consideration that I have decided to step down from the presidency of ESU effective June 30, 2011.
"When I interviewed with another campus over fall break last year, it was because I was nominated, and I was curious about the opportunity on a campus that was private. The visit helped Peggy and I realize how much we enjoyed and appreciated the very student-focused environment at ESU as well as the supportive campus and community. The act of visiting the other campus, however, has caused many to question my commitment to ESU.
"I believe this ongoing concern is detracting from the work that needs to be accomplished at ESU.
"I thank all the people of Emporia and Lyon County for your continued support of ESU, and I truly hope you continue to support this critical institution in Lyon County. I also thank the faculty and staff of Emporia State who work diligently every day to support the success of our students. These are the people who make ESU such a special place to study and learn.
"Finally, thank you to the ESU students who make this such a wonderful place to live and work! Peggy and I thank you for your support during our time as president and first lady."

Hi all,
Here is the tea party report for Sunday, July 17th:
We've developed a pretty steady turnout over the last few weeks which has led to some very good discussions. After our traditional meal chant, robe verses, and short sit we turned to matters of practice, many surrounding the upcoming ango and jukai here at Treeleaf. One sangha member who was recently in an accident discussed his fear and uncertainty about sewing a rakusu, mostly due to only having the full use of one hand, but also due to some other factors. This person also mentioned sitting zazen both on and off pain medication which led into a discussion of a recent Brad Warner post about zazen and recreational drug use that has generated much talk in the blogosphere. Another member talked about being off any kind of medication for the first time in 18 years and how it felt very much the same since stopping. Recent posts at Zen Forum International were also a topic of interest involving who is "suitable" for ordination as well the new book club selection, Zen Seeds. The tea party then concluded with some folks conversing on techniques for finishing a kesa (the part made of cloth anyway) and starting a new one.
Hope to see some folks at this week's tea party...no camera required!

text: Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, attached to this thread, you can download a Depth Chart in PDF format for the 2013 Miami Dolphins. This is a way we can follow our team being built. As players are added/released/numbers changed, etc. this Depth Chart will be updated to reflect those changes. Of course this is NOT an official depth chart for the 2013 season. The only official depth chart will be released by head coach Joe Philbin during training camp. This is a nice way to follow our team and where we stand position wise during free agency and the draft, that just a plain roster list can not. Since changes to the depth chart can change on a daily basis and from practice to practice, it is possible the depth chart could be updated more than once during the course of any given day. Since that is the case, in addition to giving the date that it was updated, I will also include the time in Eastern Standard Time that it was updated. Players in BLUE indicate unsigned Restricted Free Agents that the Dolphins have placed tenders on. Another team is welcome to try and sign these players, but may be required to give the Dolphins compensation in return. Also, if signed by another team, the Dolphins have the right to match the offer and retain the player. Players in GREEN indicate unsigned Exclusive-Rights Free Agents that the Dolphins have placed tenders on. These players have two choices, A) Accept the offer and play for the Dolphins, or B) Refuse the offer and sit out the season. These players can not talk to any other NFL team. As long as the Dolphins made a qualifying offer, the team will hold their rights for the entire 2013 season. Players in RED indicate unsigned 2013 NFL Draft choices made by the Dolphins. Player in ORANGE indicate unsigned Franchise Tag recipient. Players in PURPLE indicate unconfirmed undrafted free agent signings. Color will be removed once the Dolphins officially announce the signing. Don't see one of your favorite players from last year on this list? Most likely it is because those players are unrestricted free agents and free to sign with any team in the league. However, the Dolphins could bring back any of these players by either A) Signing them to a new contract, or B) Giving the player the Franchise or Transition Tag. Please feel free to offer your input, discuss the roster and point out any mistakes or updates. Please enjoy!

Florida coach Billy Donovan said junior forward Will Yeguete will need surgery to repair bone chips in his knee. Yeguete is expected to be out four to six weeks.
Florida climbed to No. 2 in both major polls this week despite dealing with a myriad of injuries during the course of the season.
But the Gators suffered their toughest blow on the injury front this season on Thursday when they announced that junior forward Will Yeguete will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips in his knee.
Florida coach Billy Donovan said in a "best-case scenario" the 6-foot-7, 240-pound Yeguete will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks with hopes that he could return for the postseason. Until then, Florida will have to make do without its best post defender.
"Anytime you lose a player on your team, it always hurts," Donovan said. "This is not something we are unaccustomed to dealing with this year." The injury list for Florida this season has included Yeguete (knee), junior forward Casey Prather (sprained ankle, concussion), Erik Murphy (broken rib) and Scottie Wilbekin (broken finger). Yeguete played one minute before "tweaking" his knee during UF's 80-69 loss Tuesday night at Arkansas. But Donovan said the bone chips are something that Yeguete has been dealing with for awhile. Yeguete also has been suffering from knee tendinitis and has been limited in practice since December. "When you've got those chips in there, your knee actually forms more swelling to protect the joint with those chips being in there," Donovan said. "We don't want to get into a situation where once a week we're draining his knee and draining his knee and doing those kinds of things. I don't think that's healthy for him and just, right now, for him the best course is to get it resolved, get it taken care of and we'll get it back." Yeguete is UF's second-leading rebounder, averaging 6.3 rebounds and 6 points in 21.9 minutes off the bench. He's also versatile enough to guard multiple positions and creates havoc at the front of UF's press. "He's very important," Florida senior guard Mike Rosario said. "Obviously, he's one of our, like, dirty guys. That's what we would call it, like Dennis Rodman-type, grab every rebound, our hustle guy." Yeguete played that role for the Gators last season before suffering a broken foot on Feb. 21 against Auburn that sidelined him for the rest of the season. After the injury, the Gators lost three straight before regrouping in March. "I feel bad for Will," Donovan said. "As a coach, you're always going to deal with the players that are available to play. I feel more disappointed for him because I think he has worked hard. He's a good kid. He's obviously made a huge impact on our team." Last season, Prather filled Yeguete's role through the NCAA Tournament. But Donovan has concerns about the 6-foot-6 forward due to his own injury issues this season. Prather is just three games back from a high ankle sprain and missed UF's first four games this season due to a pair of concussions he suffered during preseason practices. In 18 minutes off the bench against Arkansas, Prather had no points, two rebounds, two turnovers and four fouls. "I don't think he probably has full strength in his foot right now.," Donovan said. "He has got to go and push himself. He has been back in practice, but he has not been himself at all, in terms of athletically moving, cutting, jumping." With Prather still ailing, Donovan said that 6-foot-6 freshman DeVon Walker could see more time in the post rotation with starters Erik Murphy and Patric Young. "I don't know if he is ready," Donovan said. "We don't have a whole lot of choices now, but I will say this about DeVon Walker, which I like. He is highly competitive. He is a tough kid. I think he'll step in there and give us everything he has." Donovan also said the Gators could play more four-guard lineups until Yeguete's possible return, with 6-foot-4 freshman Michael Frazier II at power forward. Coming off the Arkansas loss, Florida next plays Saturday at home against Mississippi State. "There's going to be some times in the game where we'll be in a normal, conventional lineup," Donovan said. "But the bottom line is if Patric and Erik are not on the floor together we're unconventional. And they're not going to be on the floor together. So how do we play with a Devon Walker, a Frazier being in there."

Kelly Brook has talked about the devastation of having a miscarriage at six months pregnant, and revealed she later lost a second baby.
The model has serialised parts of her new autobiography, Close Up, in The Sun, where she opened up about what had happened between her and ex Thom Evans and the trauma of having a miscarriage.
After explaining the ordeal they had been through, she continued: "After the miscarriage Thom and I decided it was time to make a fresh start... Thom proposed. He'd bought a beautiful ring. I immediately said yes. The miscarriage actually brought us closer together.
"Later I went to see my doctor, who said, 'The best way to get over this is to try and get pregnant again'.
"So Thom and I weren't careful, and just before Christmas 2011, I got pregnant again. The look on Thom's face said it all. I think he was terrified... I had another miscarriage after a few weeks."
According to the Daily Mirror, Kelly went on: "We were still engaged in November 2012... Not long after that, he and I split up. His modelling career was picking up and a big US agent wanted to represent him. He was excited and so was I.
"I suggested we rent a flat in LA so I could visit. I was incredibly hurt when he said he wanted to go alone. He didn't want to be weighed down by a flat. When I brought up the subject of marriage and children, the colour drained from his face.
"He wanted to focus on his 'new life' in LA - a wife and children would slow him down. He didn't want to be in a relationship anymore. It was obvious."
Kelly is now engaged to ex-Gladiator David McIntosh, while former rugby player Thom has joined this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up.

Flor de Caña Centenario 12 Year
Review: Flor de Caña Centenario 12 YR Old Rum – 92.5pts
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted November 6, 2012
Flor de Caña has a history of rum production which is dated to 1890 at the San Antonio Sugar Mill, in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua. The company was founded by Francisco Alfredo Pellas and today, over 120 years later, the company is still headed by the fifth generation of the Pellas family. It has grown to be not only one of Central America's leading brands of rum, it is also one of the most recognized rum brands in the world.
According to the company website all of the Flor de Caña rum is produced with molasses from sugar cane harvested in fields adjacent to the distillery in Chichigalpa. It is distilled in a continuous column still process, and then laid down to age in small American white oak barrels in traditional aging warehouses built without air conditioning in an undisturbed environment.
In the Bottle: (4.0/5)
The Flor de Caña Centenario 12 Year arrives in a clear, squat rum bottle with a plastic screw-top cap. What is good is that the bottle is distinctive, which serves to help me quickly recognize it on my rum shelf, and the labeling upon the bottle is clear and professional. The colours work, and the fonts work such that everything is easy to see and read. I like the overall look, but I do wish for a nice cork instead of the screw cap.
In the Glass 9/10
I am not sure whether the blend has changed slightly in the past three years or whether my standards have increased a little. But I notice just a little sharpness in the breezes above my glass after I pour it, that I do not remember from my previous visits to the bottle. In those breezes are lovely scents of walnut shells and pecans, sticky sweet caramel and honey, rich baking spices (especially cinnamon, cloves, allspice and vanilla), and a nice firm but mellow oakiness which is quite lovely.
I receive a distinct impression of richness with nice accents of chocolate caramel, light dabs of cola and a moderately spicy tobacco which drifts upwards to add character to the overall aroma. I really like the impact the aroma has upon my senses, but that light sharpness in the breezes is keeping the score just a little lower than it was before.
In the Mouth 57/60
The nose translates very well to the palate, in a rum which to me demonstrates outstanding balance and complexity. All the impressions I noticed in the air around my glass leave their flavour imprints within the rum. Dark caramel, spicy toffee, impressions of walnuts, vanilla, touches of cinnamon and cloves, some dabs of allspice, orange marmalade, chocolate, and some moderately spicy tobacco all swim together in the currents of flavour harmoniously (much to my delight).
There is a certain suave character evident which is very appealing, and I almost always pour a second glass whenever I bring this rum down from my shelf.
In the Throat 13.5/15
The rum is a light bodied, column distilled rum, which means the flavours and impressions do not cling to the palate, rather they slide rather easily through the taste experience lingering only a little while before they vanish down the throat. This makes the exit clean and crisp, although traces of chocolate and baking spices seem to linger just a little longer than the other flavours.
The Afterburn (9.5/10)
The Flor de Caña 12 Year old Rum is absolutely a delight. However, if you have followed my website postings over the last three years, you will have noticed that this rum's score has dropped a notch or two from my original published score of 97 points (Published October 2009). I think that when I wrote my original review, I was perhaps too madly in love with the Flor de Caña brand. You see, this is the brand of rum which pulled me away from my singular relationship with whisky, and brought me into the world of exploring other spirits. Flor de Caña rums were the first rums I truly loved.
I have more perspective now, and my current score is probably much more reflective of the true quality of this rum. Having said that, I must admit, that now that this 12 year Old Rum bottle is open, it will be my rum partner until the wonderful contents are gone. My score might be diminished, but I am still in love with Flor de Caña rum.
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Great Blog! My brother in law was visiting friends in Nicaragua and knowing my love for rum brought me home a bottle of the 12 year. What a great rum. i agree with your scoring one of the best rums i have had
April 2, 2013 at 3:56 pm
so that's what it is, thanx. soon, on wine bottles??!
April 14, 2013 at 1:28 pm
I have recently purchased a bottle of this fine rum (in Panama), I too had a real problem with the "diffuser", when I tried to pour it out, it only dribbled a small amount and then stopped, I tried shaking the bottle, I was even patient and tried turning the bottle upside down several times, it did not work, I finally broke the plastic thing out of there.
When I was finally able to try a taste, it was great. Was it worth the frustration? time will tell, but for now it was quite enjoyable and I would like to see if it is available at home in Canada.
May 22, 2013 at 10:51 am
Hi – I just picked up a bottle of this in Calgary – so it should be available elsewhere in Canada. Cheers!

Thanx a lot for your answer, AW. well the mouth of the bottle is not simply open, because there is a kind of transparent plastic contraption over it… I can send a picture of it. I guess it prevent the liquid to be poured too quickly… please do you have any idea??!
March 28, 2013 at 2:25 pm
Hi! This rum is great, fantastic value for the price, but i have a problem: i am European and not familiar with the cap. it was a pain to open, and it is a pain to pour the liquid… arrggg! is it normal? thanx! fantastic blog btw
December 1, 2012 at 1:53 pm
Hi, Chip,
This one has been on my "I oughta try that" list for a long time; your review has me thinking I'll pop out for a bottle as soon as the stores open. Thanks for the nudge!
December 1, 2012 at 10:56 am
hi.a little story…went to the rum crawl in key west and was introduced to ron fortuna when they introduced it in one of the bar stops. hold on.something with this character and complexity and lushness of taste for under $20! introduced myself to the lovely young latin lady promoting it and later she came up to me at the days end,and gave me a bottle. up to then 5yr plantation bayjan was my go to under $20.on par with diplo,eldo12 or15, or many others way dearer.brought back a case,and all the boat drink guys here are unanimous in agreement..i enjoy flor 12 but find the 18 very rough. happy trails my friend russ

I love this rum, but it is no longer available in Ontario, Canada. Last year it was shown as being discontinued in the LCBO, so I scrambled and purchased 5-6 bottles. I see that it is still available in other places around the globe however. At first I suspected it was not produced every year but now I can't even find the Flor De Cana 7 y.o., only the 5y.o. which doesn't come any where close to either the 7 or 12 y.o. rum. Any ideas as to the lack of availability in the region. Now I'm on the look out for another suitable replacement. Not big on the spice rum anymore. Planning on trying Dictador 12 y.o. to see how it compares.
If you know of any other rums that are similar I would love a point in the right direction.
October 21, 2012 at 3:50 pm
Hi Chip, Can you do another review on this rum? I seen your high score so I tried a bottle and did not find the taste scores you did, and then i noticed your review was 3 years ago so maybe something changed or it is just not my style? Cheers,
June 28, 2012 at 1:26 pm
Hi Chip
Just want to say thank you very much for this great blog.
I have only just gotten into really tasting spirits, having in my distant youth, before I began liking beer, mostly seen spirits as something to mix with soda in order to get drunk 🙂
Today older, and hopefully wiser, I recently tasted the Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva at a friends house, and was overwhelmed at how great an experience just enjoying a fine spirit could be. Searching for a review of the Diplomático I stumbled upon your site and have been reading around here frequently ever since. Based on your reviews I have tried to purchase a couple of spirits which, although rated very highly, are still pretty affordable with regards to starting a small collection – the Highland Park 12, the Plantation Guatemala Gran Anejo and the Flor de Cana Centenario 12yr.
While I am very much a beginner when it comes to tasting spirits, I can certainly tell that this stuff is much much better than what I used to mix in my drinks 10 years ago. The Highland Park is easily the best whiskey I have ever tasted, and I found it very rewarding looking up your review while sipping it, trying to identify the things you mention.
I just tasted the Flor de Cana Centenario yesterday, and while I also enjoy it very much, I can't quite agree with it, according to your scores, being all the way up there with the Diplomático. While the smell and the taste are just great (I could seriously just nose the glass for hours without even sipping it), I get a somewhat unpleasant sharpness in the throat which I don't get with either the Diplomático or the Highland Park, which gives me bad memories of the cheap stuff I used to drown in soda.
I have yet to taste the Plantation Guatemala Gran Anejo, but will be trying it sometime soon with a friend in a tasting session together with four other rums (including the here mentioned ones). Based on your review, I am looking forward to trying it and comparing to the others.
Anyway, enough rambling – again thank you very much for all your reviews 🙂

Hi. Just picked this up in :Managua when there on business. Have it here at home and am enjoying it. I also have a bottle of F de C 18 year and a bottle of Guatemalan 23 year. Those older rums definately have the 12 year beat on caramel, chocolate, and sweet. I like the livliness of this 12 year, however. More alcohol than the 18 year by 5% and a lighter nose which gives more light caramel and toffee vs. dark caramel and chocolate/smokiness of the 18 year. Nuts for sure as you mentioned and I like the description of french toast above. Overall, I am not sure I would rate it as high as you did, but it is thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. Thanks for the time put into your review.
January 12, 2011 at 2:14 pm
nice rum indeed. To me it madake me think of new england french toast: table syrup, ornage peel, cinnamon, powdered sugar, cream and bread. very nice. But the speed at which the tastes disapeared made me linger for more…
May 22, 2010 at 10:45 am
Can't wait to try this one, as it has recently become available in Ontario. I bought Flor de Cana 7 the other year and quite enjoyed it on ice. Should be a nice drink for the summer.

CARSON — In the eight-year history of the CIF state football championships, perhaps no matchup has created a greater buzz than Saturday's Open Division final between De La Salle and St. John Bosco-Bellflower.
The Spartans (14-0) are aiming for a fifth consecutive title in the state's premier game and haven't lost to a California team since 2008. They also haven't missed a beat since legendary coach Bob Ladouceur handed over the program to longtime assistant Justin Alumbaugh in January.
And St. John Bosco (15-0), with at least a dozen NCAA Division I recruits and some mammoth linemen, might be the best Southern California team that the Spartans have faced since Long Beach Poly of the early 2000s and Mater Dei-Santa Ana of the late 1990s.
Alumbaugh and Terry Eidson, De La Salle's longtime defensive coordinator, both said Bosco's level of play compares with those talent-rich SoCal squads that provided famous tests during the Spartans' national-record 151-game winning streak.
"We've played a lot of teams from Southern California over the years and they're definitely at the top of the heap," Alumbaugh said of Bosco. "They don't really have any weaknesses, they have strengths all the way across the field. They're the real deal."
"They have size, speed, everything," Eidson said.
Kickoff is 8 p.m. at the StubHub Center.
De La Salle has won 40 straight games and is the only program to reach the state bowl series each season.
St. John Bosco is also undefeated this season and has crushed some top-notch competition. One of its closest games was a 42-21 victory over Servite-Anaheim, which De La Salle beat 35-10.
The Spartans and Braves are ranked in the top five nationally by most publications.
"The only thing that would make it bigger is if were for the mythical national title," Cal-Hi Sports editor Mark Tennis said. "But other than that, it's about as big as it's going to get."
Booker T. Washington of Miami appears to have already wrapped up USA Today's mythical championship, though Bosco could finish atop some computer rankings with a win over the Spartans.
Tennis said the only other bowl game that may have been as anticipated as this one was between De La Salle and Centennial-Corona in 2008.
"But that was before the Open Division and De La Salle had a loss," Tennis said.
Adding intrigue to Saturday's game is that De La Salle and Bosco share the same strength. The Spartans feature their biggest offensive line in school history, but they haven't lost their trademark precision and quickness. The unit is led by Oregon State-bound Sumner Houston (6-foot-3, 260 pounds) and Larry Allen III (6-3, 285), the son of recent Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Larry Allen.
Bosco's offensive line is even bigger, averaging more than 300 pounds, and includes one of the most coveted players in the nation in 6-5, 353-pound Damien Mama.
The Braves have explosive receivers in USC-bound Shay Fields and UCLA commit Jaleel Wadood, a junior quarterback (Josh Rosen) who is considered one of the best in the nation at his position, and a secondary also loaded with Division I recruits.
But De La Salle has one major advantage — it's been here before. The Spartans prepare every year with the goal of peaking for the playoffs and winning a state championship.
"Our kids refer to them as a machine, and a lot of people from down here and around the country do, too," Bosco coach Jason Negro said of De La Salle. "They're an absolute football factory and do some tremendous things on the offensive and defensive lines."
Bosco is playing in a bowl game for the first time. How it handles the experience could be a determining factor.
For Alumbaugh and the Spartans, the game plan is simple.
"We're going to have to play a really physical and disciplined game," he said.
And don't be surprised to see a few wrinkles reserved only for a game of this magnitude.
