On Tuesday, Jan. 21, the Bellingham Herald reported that a dog who fell 150 feet during a hike in the Chuckanut Mountains of Washington state survived overnight on a cliff side before her rescue today.
Charlotte, a one-year-old Belgian Malinois / pitbull mix, was rescued on the afternoon of Tuesday, Jan. 21. Charlotte had been let off of her leash and slipped off the side of a trail around 5:30 p.m. near Lost Lake. According to Lauri McBeath, a member of the Washington State Animal Response Team, Charlotte slipped approximately 15 minutes from the nearest trailhead.
While the dog's owner could hear her barking, he couldn't locate her. More than one dozen people worked together the next day to find the missing dog.
Bellingham Mountain Rescue lowered down an EMT and loaded Charlotte, who weighs about 45 pounds, into an oversized duffel bag, pulling her up the cliffside shortly after 2 p.m.
Shortly after the rescue, Charlotte appeared to have trouble breathing. She injured her chest and back during the fall down the cliff face and also was not moving her hind legs. Veterinarians on site checked her for possible spinal injuries.
Charlotte was loaded onto a specialized stretcher, carried to the trailhead, and rushed to a Bellingham animal hospital where she was treated for injuries on Tuesday afternoon.
Updates about Charlotte's condition will be posted when they become available. WASART stated on their Facebook page on Tuesday that they will also be checking on the rescued dog's condition.

Flying clausiliids
In a previous post, I discussed the possibility of the transfer of land (and aquatic) snails by birds and listed some literature providing records of snails found on birds. The presence of snails on remote volcanic islands can only be due to transport by humans, birds (and perhaps other animals), floating debris and the wind (also discussed briefly in this post). One such group of islands is the Tristan da Cunha archipelago midway between South Africa and South America. Since these islands were never connected to a continent, all species endemic to them must have evolved from ancestors that arrived after the islands formed volcanically. Therefore, one puzzle in a case like this is to determine who those ancestors were and where they came from.
A group of land snails endemic to the Tristan da Cunha islands were until recently placed in a genus of their own, Tristania (family Clausiliidae). However, anatomical studies suggested that Tristania belonged to the genus Balea, which is represented in Europe and in the Azores by several species of land snails.
Balea perversa. Shells of adults are 8-10 mm long. (Picture from Kerney & Cameron, 1979. A Field Guide to the Land Snails of Britain and North-west Europe.
In a paper published in this week's Nature, Gittenberger et al.1 demonstrate, using mitochondrial DNA sequence comparisons, that the Balea species in Tristan da Cunha (and also those in the Azores) evolved from a single ancestral species that was probably transported from Europe over the ocean first to the Azores and then to the Tristan da Cunha islands.
However, the possible culprits that may have been responsible for the dispersal of these snails are yet to be identified. In the supplementary information to their paper, the authors discount 2 species of migratory birds, the greater shearwater (Puffinus gravis) and the Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea), because these birds apparently do not come ashore in Europe. They suggest that nonspecific wading birds are more likely to have been responsible for the transport.
To clinch the case, all we need now is a bird caught with live Balea on its body.

March 1, 2012
LOS ANGELES - UCLA head coach Billy Martin is proud to announce the arrival of two mid-year additions to the Bruin tennis program, as both Dennis Novikov of the U.S. and Karue Sell of Brazil have signed Statements of Intent to Register at UCLA for the Spring Quarter. The two players, who will be freshmen, are eligible to join the team beginning on March 24.
Novikov, from San Jose, Calif., has played in all four of the Junior Grand Slams, with his best result coming at the 2010 U.S. Open, where he reached the quarterfinals in singles. He attained a career-high combined ITF junior ranking of No. 30 in the world in January of 2011. According to the website TennisRecruiting.net, he was listed as the No. 2 overall recruit in the class of 2011 just behind current UCLA freshman Marcos Giron. Novikov was a quarterfinalist at last year's USTA National Championships in Kalamazoo, Mich., falling to the top-seeded Giron. In addition to his impressive junior results, Novikov has focused mainly on playing professional-level tournaments on the ITF Futures Circuit for the last six months. He recently teamed with former UCLA player Daniel Kosakowski to claim the doubles title at a 10k event in Weston, Fla.
"I'm just really excited to start college and join the team," said Novikov. "Hopefully I can contribute and help this team win NCAAs. I'm looking forward to beginning this next phase of my tennis career."
"UCLA is one of the most respected universities in the world so I'm obviously very excited to become a Bruin," said Sell. "I'm going to do my best to make the team better and hopefully we can achieve great things during my time there. It's going to be a major experience for me and I'm excited to get started."
The first match that Novikov and Sell will be eligible to participate in will be on March 27 when UCLA hosts Loyola Marymount.

Massachusetts's state capital, Boston, is New England's largest and most cosmopolitan city. It is the region's hub for modern commerce, education, and culture, and the early history of the United States is never far from view. The 50-acre Boston Common is the oldest public park in the nation and the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail winds past 16 of the city's most historic landmarks such as the USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") and the Old North Church (of "one if by land, two if by sea" fame). This is the cradle of American democracy, a place where soaring skyscrapers cast shadows on Colonial graveyards. Nearby Boston, great beaches, delicious seafood, and artisan-filled shopping districts await in scenic Cape Cod, chic Martha's Vineyard, and cozy Nantucket. In Western Massachusetts, the mountainous Berkshires live up to the storybook image of rural New England. Staying at a bed-and-breakfast, taking in the local arts scene in quaint towns like Stockbridge and Lenox, and leaf peeping in the fall are all part of the experience. Farther east, the Pioneer Valley is home to a string of historic settlements, and artsy and thriving college towns like Amherst and Northampton.

I am trying to keep the boot manager from automatically coming up when booting up my Windows Vista computer. I also want to know why the boot manager is coming up.
I have also been having other problems that mite be related. After restarting a few times my USB mouse did not work. After unplugging and plugging back in my mouse worked. But after restarting a few more times each time looking at the options when I press F8, my non USB keyboard stopped working. Unplugging and plugging back did not help. I am now using a USB keyboard.
This computer has not been in use for at least 6 months. When we did finally turn it on it started doing some kind of a repair. When it finished it said that it failed. We restarted and it seemed to work.
For the moment the only problems I have is the non USB keyboard not working (maybe a hardware problem) and the boot manager coming up.
We have been doing a lot of moving. Maybe the computer was damaged.

Sometimes Atlanta really is Hotlanta, and you really need to find a pool, ice cream, frozen yogurt or pop when the humidity becomes higher than the speed limit on the connector (which is only 55, by the way). And unlike those cars stuck on the interstate, at least if you're on MARTA, you can hop off the train during your commute for a cool treat and add a little adventure to your day.
So make the most of your freedom. Here are the destinations to put on your list when the temps get high. Just remember, no eating on buses or trains!
King of Pops
Atlanta's favorite pop stand, King of Pops serves homemade popsicles with fresh and unique ingredients. Their rainbow-colored umbrellas are now all over the city, making them easy to spot. View their website for the most up-to-date information on locations. Currently you can find a pop at Colony Square during lunchtime on Wednesdays (Arts Center MARTA station), on the Decatur Square above the Decatur MARTA station on Wednesday through Sunday afternoons/evenings and lunchtime Thursdays near the Midtown MARTA station at 12th Street and Peachtree Walk. Weekends at Centennial Olympic Park you can also get your fix, especially if you're in the area for an event or to see the sights. The Dome MARTA station is closest to the park, but you can also walk from Peachtree Center.
Yogurt Tap
Yogurt Tap is located directly across from Decatur station's Church Street exit. Flavors rotate, and plenty of toppings will have you coming back to try different combinations.
Butter & Cream
Next to the station and across from Yogurt Tap you can get a scoop or two of homemade ice cream. You can also order sorbets and desserts made from scratch. Yum.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream
For fancy flavors, Decatur also has Jeni's on top of the Decatur MARTA station near the gazebo.
Dairy Queen (Peachtree Center Food Court)
You can find DQ and all its variety of cool treats in the food court directly above the Peachtree Center MARTA station. Follow the signs to Harris Street after exiting the train, then follow the signs to Peachtree Street East to enter directly into the food court.
Natural's Ice Cream, Yogurt and Smoothies
Also close to MARTA, Natural's is located inside the CNN Center food court, which is a short walk from the Dome MARTA station on the blue/green rail line. Follow the signs to Philips Arena after exiting the train, and at street level, keep right to walk around Philips Arena. The CNN Center is just down the street. Enter any door on the left.
Yogli Mogli
The frozen yogurt spot in Midtown is Yogli Mogli on 5th Street. In Tech Square, the yogurt shop is almost equally distant between the North Avenue and Midtown MARTA stations. North Avenue is slightly closer. If exiting at that station, follow the signs pointing to the Fox Theatre/AT&T Center, which will take you through an indoor mall. Walk straight ahead after exiting the fare gates to reach 3rd Street. Turn left, then right on West Peachtree Street and left again on 5th Street.
An Atlanta classic, Zesto has fast food, shakes and ice cream. There's a location across from the Lindbergh Center MARTA station on Piedmont Road.
Häagen-Dazs and Pinkberry
Head to the Lenox Square food court to enjoy the many flavors of Haagan-Dazs ice cream and sorbet. Or if you prefer frozen yogurt, Pinkberry is also in the mall. For easiest access, take a gold line train to the Lenox MARTA station and follow the signs "To Mall" after exiting the train. At street level, turn left on East Paces Ferry. The road leads to a back entrance that leads directly into the mall food court.
For more frozen yogurt fun, Yogurberry offers organic treats near the Buckhead MARTA station in the Terminus building. Ride a red line train to Buckhead and exit on to Peachtree Road -- use the first stairwell out of the station and not the pedestrian tunnel or bridge. Turn right on Peachtree Road and walk just over two blocks. Make a right in between the Grand Hyatt hotel and Bricktops.
Dairy Queen (Perimeter Mall)
North of the city is another Dairy Queen in Perimeter Mall next to the Dunwoody MARTA station for all those commuters who use the red line or want to combine ice cream with shopping.

Huskies Set to Compete for National Title on Sunday
May 29, 1999
Lake Natoma, CA - Relying on a stronger sprint, Brown pulled away from Washington over the final 500 meters during Saturdays semifinal races at the NCAA Womens Rowing Championships to upset the two-time defending national champions. Browns winning time of 6:50.9 was the fasted time during two days of races. The Huskies finished with a time of 6:52.3.
The loss was the first every suffered by a Husky Varsity 8 team at the NCAAs. Both teams will be joined by Virginia from the semifinal heat in Sundays finals. The Cavaliers needed a photo finish to hold off Michigan for the final spot in the finals.
In the other semifinal race, California finished first ahead of Princeton and Harvard to set the final three spots in Sundays final. Brown and California will have the more favorable No. 3 and No. 4 lane positions during the finals while the Huskies will have to row from lane five.
Washingtons Varsity II (junior varsity) and Varsity Fours automatically qualified for the finals by winning their qualifying heats Friday. Both of those boats received inside lane assignments for Sunday. Washington, Brown and Virginia are the only three teams to qualify teams in all three events for Sundays finals from the 10 schools competing for the team championship.
"I would have to say that Brown is probably favored tomorrow," said Washington coach Jan Harville. "We met goal number one today and that was to qualify. We didnt quite meet goal number two, which was to win. Well have to get better and give it another go tomorrow. We need to see if we can get a better sprint there at the end."
The victory by Brown avenged an earlier loss to the Huskies at the Windermere Cup. Racing on a shortened 1,500-meter course because of severe conditions, the Huskies defeated Brown by 5.7 seconds on Opening Day at the Montlake Cut. Browns win marked the first time a collegiate crew had defeated Washingtons Varsity 8 squad since the 1996 national championships.
"Im happy, but we still have one more race to go," said Brown coach John Murphy. "We still need to stay focused and keep moving forward toward tomorrows race."
"We had some good parts of our race, we just need to step it up tomorrow," Harville said. "Its the last one that counts. Well go for all the marbles tomorrow."
"I would have liked to see us have a little better sprint. Thats the main thing. We know we have a good start. In two races with Brown, weve gotten them on the start both times and then they pulled back on it. We probably have to handle that better."
Washingtons rowers were more disappointed in their overall effort than losing for the first time this year.
"At the Windermere Cup (against Brown) I thought we were solid all the way through, but we were a little bit scattered today," said senior coxswain Missy Collins.
"I dont think this shakes our confidence, said senior Katy Dunnet, who has rowed in both of Washingtons NCAA championship Varsity 8 boats. "It is better to learn a lesson today versus tomorrow.
"When you take the cadence and the stroke rate up you have to make sure you keep reaching the blades in. If you are short and choppy, you are not getting as much power into it. If you are going to sprint, you have to take more strokes and they have to be just as hard. Today, we were not as effective as we can be."
Dunnet is glad the Huskies have a chance to redeem themselves.
"If that were our best race, I would be thinking, Well, I guess well be racing for second place tomorrow. But, that was not our best race. I know we have more. Weve split (with Brown) so far, now we go for the one that counts."
Sundays finals are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. PT.

Secret "Batman Incorporated" Storyline Leaks
Souce ComicBookResources
Following the piracy of "Batman" #17 in advance of its release date earlier this week, DC Comics has another leak on its hands. A photo of variant covers for "Batman, Incorporated" #8 has surfaced, nearly two weeks prior to the comic's February 27 release date. The photo shows three variant covers homaging Grant Morrison's "Batman: R.I.P.," with Damian Wayne's Robin standing in for his father, the Dark Knight. Additionally, the letters "R.I.P." appear at the bottom, using Robin's "R" icon, revealing a major spoiler for Morrison's upcoming "Batman, Incorporated" arc, which has been kept under tight wraps by DC. Damian's death as the focus of Morrison's newest arc has been a popular theory on Internet message boards, as Damian is nowhere to be found on the covers for May's Batman-related issues, even on the cover of "Batman and Robin" #19.
The photo comes from the Twitter account of retailer Al Mega, who posted an auction on eBay for "Amazing Spider-Man" #700 weeks before its scheduled release date. Mega's Twitter feed indicates he has access to advance copies of DC's books — on February 8, he posted a photo of a number of issues not set to release until February 20 including "Justice League of America" #1, "Justice League" #17, "Green Lantern: New Guardians" #17 and more.
When approached by CBR News about the leak, DC representatives replied, "No comment."
"Batman Incorporated" #8 is far enough from its release date that retailers shouldn't have received copies from Diamond yet. Retailers who opt-in to Diamond's early delivery typically receive issues on the Tuesday before release, which makes how Mega obtained the issues somewhat of a mystery. Timing-wise, the leak syncs with the "Amazing Spider-Man" #700 leak last year, when scans of the issue popped up online 12 days early, exactly the same amount of time before the issue was scheduled for release.
At the time, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso stated the publisher was investigating the matter.
"It's always disappointing when someone decides to spoil a big story by posting it on the torrents," Alonso told CBR. "Piracy affects fans, creators and retailers who look forward to a big comic book to put some cash in their registers — which 'Amazing Spider-Man #700' definitely will do. The fact that physical copies of the issue exist, but are accessible to a select few, is, of course, alarming."

Base Builder's Weekend and Producer's Letter!
Hello again everyone,
I wanted to thank all the DC Universe Online fans out there for their support of our latest DLC Pack, Home Turf. To ensure that we were as responsive to our players as possible, we did something new with the launch of Home Turf – we created discussion threads for each new piece of content or feature in the Developer Discussion section of our official forums. The designers that owned the content have been monitoring and participating in those discussions, and we've received loads of great feedback. As a result, we have been able to turn around a couple of server updates with polish, tweaks, and bug fixes in the first few days, with more to come. The discussions are ongoing, so if you haven't yet weighed in, we invite you to do so.
Base Builder's Weekend
In celebration of the launch of Home Turf, we will be doubling your chances of getting Base loot this weekend. Simply put, we will double the odds that you will gain Base items when collecting just about any type of loot in the game, starting Saturday. This means that you're practically guaranteed to get some in Raid content, and close to certain to in Alerts. So be sure to log in and deck out your Bases.
I'd like to especially thank our US PS3 players for their patience as we dealt with some load-related downtime over the last few days. Those issues are resolved and we're looking forward to a great first weekend.

A Romance Is Revealed
Direct from DC Blog-
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoiler alerts ahead!)
Earlier this week, we teased that JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 would reveal the fate of the transformed Superman after being bitten by the Cheetah. Well if you picked up the issue when it hit stores this past Wednesday, you now know exactly what we were talking about!
In JUSTICE LEAGUE #14, the League continues their battle against the Cheetah and Superman, while simultaneously trying to protect the Man of Steel from the wounds inflicted upon him. Deep in the forest, they meet the tribe that the Cheetah was meant to protect. The head of this tribe details the long history of the Cheetah and reveals that the root of the problem is not that the Goddess of the Hunt is evil. Instead, it's the woman possessed by her who is!
After being captured by the tribe, Superman is cured, and Cheetah gets locked away in Belle Reve. But once behind bars, the villainess begins to talk to an unseen source, revealing that her imprisonment was all part of a larger and mysterious plan. Meanwhile, on the Watchtower, the League tells Diana that Barbara Minerva is a lie. She is actually a wanted criminal who continues to switch identities to escape the authorities. Hurt by this news about the woman she once called her best friend, Wonder Woman seeks comfort in the Man of Steel.
Much to the surprise of the local customers, Superman takes Wonder Woman to the Smallville Diner in an attempt to help her regain some incentive to be the superhero that she is. Afterwards, he takes her on a tour of the Kent family farm and the duo share another passionate kiss.
Little do these lovebirds know, someone is watching their every move! It's their teammate, Batman. And judging by the look on his face, he seems less than thrilled about his friends' developing romance. How will the Dark Knight's knowledge of Wonder Woman and Superman's relationship impact it? And more importantly, what will this mean for the Justice League itself? Place your bets in the comments section!
Below, take a look at the final pages of "The Secret of the Cheetah" as Superman and Wonder Woman kiss under the watchful eye of Batman. Setting the stage for next month's epic crossover event with AQUAMAN, "Throne of Atlantis," JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 comes to you from the creative team of writer Geoff Johns and artists Tony S. Daniel, Matt Banning, and Sandu Florea. Pick up the issue, in stores now!

Following in the tradition of its distinguished predecessors, CVPR 2011 has a number of events co-located with the main conference, including 18 workshops and 8 tutorials. Our passport system allows registrants easy access to the conference plus other events, at early registration rates of $275 for student members and $400 for regular members; the passport provides a significant value for 6 days of events.
The publications of the conference and workshops proceedings are, for the first time, being made available on a customized USB Stick, providing direct access on most platforms as well as a being very useful keepsake of the meeting.
The team/venue of this 2011 conference was elected at the 2009 CVPR in Miami. CVPR 2007, 2008 and 2009 had all averaged about 1100-1200 attendees (CVPR06 in NYC was an outlier at around 1400) and so our plans were for 1100-1400. The increased size of CVPR 2010 caused some concern, and for the first time ever CVPR announced a cap on registration, limiting the meeting to 1500 attendees.
Thanks go to our Finance/Corporate relations Chair, Walter Scheirer, and the Registration Queen Ginger Boult, for their indispensible and wide-ranging contributions to the planning and running of this meeting. We also thank Shai Avidan (Workshop Chair) and Anderson Rocha (Tutorial Chair), along with the workshop organizers and short course presenters, for their contributions in making CVPR 2011 a premier event.
Special thanks go to our Publication Chair, Nicolas Pinto, for his tremendous dedication and effort that resulted in a smooth publication process despite the many problems and missed deadlines. As in the past, all published papers in the main conference and associated workshops will be indexed by IEEE, and available through the IEEE Digital Library. Unlike past years, the papers will have proper page numbers and each workshop will be separately listed in Xplore, not just combined into the "CVPR Workshops". The change to having each author number their own pages saved us thousands of dollars.
We wish to thank our Steering and Advisory Committee (Kim Boyer, Rama Chellapa, Larry Davis, Dan Huttenlocker, Jitendra Malik, Takashi Matsuyama, Gerard Medioni, and Ramin Zabih), the previous Program and General Chairs, and other senior researchers in computer vision, for very helpful advice on a wide range of topics.
2. Submission/Review Statistics
The number of submissions to CVPR has continued to grow, and this year was no exception. To facilitate the online review process, we again elected to utilize Microsoft Research's CMT System, with thanks to Pedro who managed the CMT process for CVPR11. We received 2020 complete submissions by the November 11, 2010 deadline. No extensions were given and papers that did not meet the submission criteria were desk rejected and removed from the review process. We found that a variety of random items, such as software manuals, were being submitted. It is possible that some people are trying to increase the number of submitted items to make the conference appear yet more selective. For this reason, we consider only the number of papers that reach the rebuttal stage when we compute selectivity ratios. We recommend future meetings adopt this convention so we have consistent interpretations. By the time the reviews were released to authors for rebuttals, the desk reject plus self-withdrawals had reduced the total papers for decision down to 1677 papers. At the end of the AC meeting, there were 59 papers (3.5%) accepted for orals and 379 (22.5%) accepted as posters, for an overall acceptance rate of 26.4% where percentages are computed using the 1677 papers that entered the full review process. In addition to the acceptances, there were 1052 formal rejections via the AC decisions, while 187 papers were rejected for administrative reasons (e.g. dual submissions) or were withdrawn by the authors after reviewing.
3. Review Process & Area Chairs
The review process for 2011 process was similar to recent years. Based upon an analysis of previous vision meetings, the size of CVPR2010 and discussions with previous Program Chairs and other senior members of the community, the 2011 Program Chairs decided to assemble the largest Area Chair (ACs) committee in the history of CVPR to facilitate a thorough review process. Our goal was simple: to conduct a rigorous and fair double-blind review process while providing good feedback to the authors. We invited leading vision researchers to server as ACs, seeking a balanced mix of first-time AC members and ACs experience. We secured the services of 46: Kobus Barnard, Peter Belhumeur, Serge Belongie, Tamara Berg, Andrew Blake, Michael Brown, Joachim Buhmann, Albert Chung, Bob Collins, Daniel Cremers, Sven Dickinson, James Duncan, Pinar Duygulu, Alyosha Efros, Bill Freeman, Polina Golland, Martial Hebert, Adrian Hilton, Derek Hoiem, Daniel Huttenlocher, Hiroshi Ishikawa, Jana Kosecka, Frédéric Jurie, Svetlana Lazebnik, Ales Leonardis, Vincent Lepetit, B.S. Manjunath, R. Manmatha, Deva Ramanan, Stan Sclaroff, Berndt Schiele, Andrew Senior, Jianbo Shi, Josef Sivic, Peter Sturm, Sabine Süsstrunk, Camillo Taylor, Antonio Torralba, Tinne Tuytelaars, Olga Veksler, Daphna Weinshall, Lior Wolf, Ruigang Yang, Ramin Zabih, Hong Zhang, Todd Zickler. The chairs thank each of them for their conscientious service to our community.
Here is a quick summary of the review process. Based on input from these ACs and previous organizers, we assembled a Papers Review Committee of over 900 members from the broader computer vision community. These reviewers provided over 5000 reviews in about 2 months time, and by the AC meeting all but a dozen papers had three reviews, and some had four to resolve discrepancies and wide spreads in reviews. The AC panels of 10-12 experts were told to use their best judgment on what was of sufficient quality to accept. The 4 panels were lead by David Forsyth, Pedro Feldzenswab, Pascal Fua and Terrance Boult. ACs first worked in pairs reviewing the reviews and then the panel discussed papers that were near threshold. If a panel said accept, it was accepted. If the panel said oral, it was oral. We also had our first experimental remote AC buddy pairs (due to illness/family emergencies), which worked reasonably well. S. Peleg managed the remote pairs and their work was then integrated with their originally assigned panels, including broader discussions. Before a decision was made on papers with a wide spread in reviewer scores, multiple ACs discussed them.
Discussions after rebuttal are not visible to authors but with 2029 total discussion messages, they are important in the decision making process as it often resolves discrepancies between reviews and adjustments based on the authors rebuttal. If there was a rebuttal, the AC read the rebuttal. If an author sees comments in the final decision about reviewers changing their "scores", it is almost always because the reviewer read/discussed it with the other reviewers and the AC. The Program Chairs did not over-rule any decisions by the AC panel, but asked for clarification on decisions where it was needed, and requested detailed consolidation. The double-blind nature of the CVPR review process was strictly maintained throughout the review process. As agreed when the team proposed, the General and Program Chairs are not authors on any papers submitted. In summary, the reviewing was blind, rebutted, reconsidered; the AC discussions and decisions were blind; and program chairs reviewed to make sure everyone followed the defined process.
Everyone should know that reviewer scores alone do not determine the decisions, and with significant variation in individual rankings, they should not be weighted too highly. Every year, some authors of rejected papers feel that, based on the reviews it received, their paper should have been accepted; others are unhappy with the reviews the paper received. It is not possible to avoid errors, though we tried very hard to do so. We offer data about our process below, because we believe that reviewing for a premier conference should be conducted with the greatest possible transparency consistent with a confidential process. We analyze the data to help understand the process effectiveness. The two charts in figure 1, show the distribution of scores (as percentage, and as numbers) for papers that were classified as oral, poster or reject. It should be evident that the curves are quite strongly separated, particularly if one allows for variations between reviewers. The oral/poster boundary is less well defined than the accept/reject boundary; this is natural, as a wide range of factors should go into that decision. There are a few rejected papers with a stronger average score than a few oral papers. This is a consequence of the multi-stage reviewing process used for CVPR, which has the goal of trying to ensure that one wild review does not disproportionately affect the fate of a paper. Discussions, rebuttal, AC discussions, the summary process, and PC's checking summaries are all mechanisms that help ensure the outcome is robust to outlying reviewer scores. The bottom graph of figure 1 shows the final score distributions have lower variance, and are more separated than before rebuttals and discussion.
Figure 1: Paper score distributions.
Another common question is how much review, rebuttal and AC processes effects a paper. The graphs in figure 2 show the changes, per paper, in "scores" before rebuttals and after decisions. As one might expect, oral papers decrease their scores (lower is better) while more scores for rejected papers increased. Posters were more equally split with some decreases (originally likely rejects) and some increases. There is no ground truth and labels (oral, etc) are decided after the scores have changed, but it does seem the process is improving class separation, suggesting it makes the reviewer deliberations and reviewing of the AC process/meeting significant.

4. Sponsorship/Financial issues
CVPR11 has also introduced a significant change, being the first time the conference was not 100% financially sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. At the conference, there will likely be some significant votes affecting the financial sponsorship of future CVPR conferences, so let us briefly summarize how CVPR 2011 ended up changing the model.
Part of the normal process of running an IEEE Computer Society sponsored meeting is submitting a budget, having that budget reviewed/approved by the computer society, and then the Computer Society providing a loan to cover pre-meeting expenses, such as the AC meeting. CVPR 2011 dutifully submitted its budget in June 2010. In mid-January, with less than a month to go before the AC meeting, the budget had not been reviewed/approved and no loan was in place. IEEE CS was contacted, again, and a few days later, the CVPR 2011 organizers were told the 2011 budget could not be approved because the CVPR2010 meeting had such a significant loss and we would have to change our budget. We knew that the IEEE CS administrative fees collected from CVPR2010 were approximately $118,000, but that given the increases attendance/revenue, IEEE CS expected over $170,000. IEEE CS budget model is to collect 20% of all conference revenue, independent of work performed. The 2010 organizers had provided IEEE CS the amount of fees originally budgeted but not a windfall from increased attendance – CVPR2010 spent the extra revenue on meeting upgrades (video overflow, fleeces, increased food). We also recognized that the 2011 budget, like the 2010 budget, included over $100,000 in "administrative fees" for IEEE CS for very minimal work on their part.
Through years of experience, 2011 general chairs understood that IEEE CS provides minimal direct value to the meeting other than the pre-meeting loan.[1] That loan was now in jeopardy. With the needs of the AC meeting less than a month away, instead of rebudgeting 2011 as directed, the 2011 General Chairs decided to drop IEEE Computer Society completely as a financial Sponsor and use the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) as the sole financial sponsor, leveraging Boult's endowed position to cover the pre-meeting costs. This unexpected and unprecedented move allowed for contract revisions for the AC meeting to directly bill to UCCS. The General Chairs put new plans in place to ensure a successful AC meeting, and save our community nearly $100K in questionable fees. In parallel, the general chairs lined up commitments from other IEEE subgroups for options to ensure we could continue to publish in IEEE Xplore (technical co-sponsorship) and potentially to keep IEEE in the conference name (which requires IEEE financial sponsorship, but not necessarily IEEE CS sponsorship).
While effective alternatives were lined up, there was considerable pressure to compromise and keep IEEE CS as at least a partial financial sponsor. The general chairs acknowledged that such a dramatic move as totally dropping IEEE CS, without a vote of the CVPR community, could be bad for the community. We also agreed that any attempt to poll or vote while the reviewing was ongoing could create the appearance of a conflict of interest. We made an executive decision while agreeing to compromise to include IEEE CS as a partial sponsor. It was agreed that at the actual CVPR 2011 meeting, the community could vote on future financial models.
The general chairs negotiated with IEEE CS, and on March 10, weeks after the AC meeting, obtained an approved budget, and eventually, by April, had a signed MOU for 50% financial sponsorship by IEEE CS. The MOU effectively reduces IEEE CS "fees", depending on meeting revenues, to between $40,000 and $60,000.
With the change in sponsorship, you might be wondering, "What happens with the savings?" Sufficient funding will be saved for a future CVPR's pre-meeting cost, giving us the flexibility to not have IEEE CS as financial sponsors. More immediately, we reduced member registration fees back to their lowest rates ever for a CVPR passport and yet, for the first time ever, lunch is on us.
When it comes to finances, it is also important to acknowledge the corporate donors who contribute financially to the meeting, supporting our paper awards, the doctoral consortium, reception/bars, and other important meeting enhancements. Our gold donors include Google, Nvidia and the National Science Foundation; Silver includes United Technologies Research Center, Point Grey and Springer. Our Bronze donors include Object Video, MobileEye, Honeywell, Microsoft Research, Kitware, Mitibushi Electric Research Labs, Cognex and IBM Research.
In closing, it has shaped up to be an excellent meeting. Once again, we extend our primary thanks to everyone involved in the submission process and review process: the ACs, reviewers and authors. Without you, there would not be a CVPR. We believe that the final output of this intensive process is well worth the enormous effort to continue the reputation of CVPR as one of the top quality conferences in the field.
[1] IEEE CS also provides a return of a small fraction (3.5%) of the fee plus 50% of any surplus to the PAMI-TC. The TC generally uses some of that for travel grants and/or receptions.

Most would agree that Facebook is a valuable marketing venue for small businesses. Tune in as Ramon Ray, Editor and Technology Evangelist for SmallBizTechnology , joins Brent Leary to discuss his timely new book, "The Facebook Guide to Small Business Marketing." Ramon shares Facebook tips he learned while researching the book. * * * * * Small Business Trends: Why did you write the book, "The Facebook Guide to Small Business Marketing?" Ramon Ray: Small businesses need help marketing. I think that many of them are highly confused by marketing overall. Facebook is one of the biggest platforms out there. There's Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Plus and more. I had to research and study it. I found that it is a great platform for small businesses for testing. I would dare say it is the new Google AdWords. Adwords was really hot and it is still is. But Facebook is now the place where many small businesses are. Small Business Trends: How successful are small businesses with marketing and how successful have they been when integrating Facebook into their marketing strategy? Ramon Ray: For some, it is wildly successful. But I think, in general, marketing overall is still a challenge. I think the benefits small businesses are having with Facebook, the smart ones, the successful ones, are not trying to sell so much. They are just trying to be your friend, trying to be my friend, trying to just be friends – and over time, sell to you. Small Business Trends: What are some of the surprising misconceptions that you see small business have when it comes to Facebook marketing? Ramon Ray: Some don't realize how easy it is. If you don't type well, you know what? You can you pull out your phone and click a button. Do a five to 10 word subject line and do it twice a day, or whatever the time frame is. I think that is the most surprising thing. That it is easy to do and the barrier to interest people is so low, you can make mistakes. Unlike doing a test on a $10,0000 radio ad. You can do a $50 test on Facebook and innovate to make it better and better. Small Business Trends: Are you thinking that people feel it is too complex? Ramon Ray: I think complexity is still a bit worrisome for some. You have to track this stuff. You have to do analysis on it to know, my first ad was blue and I got 550 clicks. I made changed it to yellow and I got 75 clicks. It takes a bit of time to do that and get it right. But you do have to do it. Small Business Trends: How are companies measuring success? Is it just dollars? Is it new customers or is it keeping the customers longer? Ramon Ray: PetFlow is one. I talked to their founder and he told me the best lesson he learned for using Facebook was: "I have stopped trying to advertise to the people that I want to buy my products. I don't do that on Facebook anymore. What I do is, engage with those who are interested in what I am selling, if you get the difference. I am not worrying about if you want to buy it." In his case, he is not trying to find out if you want dog food. Instead, he puts a photo up and asks which dog picture you like better. He can find people who love dogs and then he can go a little deeper if you follow what I am saying? Small Business Trends: You are tying into their emotions a bit more. Ramon Ray: That is absolutely correct. Very few of us go to Facebook and say, "What can I buy?" We are chatting and we are having a good time. Therefore, those companies who want us to buy there are going to have to have a good time with us in that environment. Small Business Trends: You've devoted a whole chapter to using Facebook to generate local store foot traffic. Ramon Ray: You know that is one of my favorite sections. I think what I like about Facebook, going back to the central tenant of it, is that it's about relationships. I go into my local store, I shake the hand of the owner, here is my little bag of candy sweets, bread or whatever it is. Maybe now they will take a photo of me and say, "Here is our newest customer." And then post it to their Facebook page. Or maybe they will say, "When you stop by, check in on Facebook and we will give you a discount." Other companies are doing that. So what I like about Facebook is, it keeps that warm Laura Ingalls like, you know that. . . Small Business Trends: Little house on the prairie. . . Ramon Ray: Right. That main street aspect of. "I like you, you like me." Human connectivity with a song. I think that is where Facebook has an edge. Small Business Trends: What are some important tools businesses need to be aware of that help them leverage Facebook for marketing? Ramon Ray: One is Facebook Analytics. I think whether you have a page or a profile or whatever it is you are analyzing, just go to Facebook Insights and know what's there. You can go down to gender level, male, female and where they are coming from – all of that. When you want to go to the higher level, there are a number of different third party tools out there that help you to add customize tabs or apps to your Facebook page. As you know, I have worked for Infusionsoft. They just bought a company called GroSocial so that is one app. There are many others. I think that once you get to that level it's not even tools so much. Just check your page and respond back to people. If someone says, "Dear sir, I bought your cookies for my grandmother, I like them a lot." Please reply back and say, "Thank you." Small Business Trends: What are the top 2 or 3 things you want people to walk away with after reading the book? Ramon Ray: I hope this book helps you with social media, overall. I would also say to take pictures. I can go deep, but I think that is the biggest thing. Small Business Trends: Where can people learn more about the book, "The Facebook Guide to Small Business Marketing"? Ramon Ray: You can buy the book from Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.

There's Nothing Wrong With Love
In The Morning
in the morning
feeling halfright
if it was more than just 1 day
i'd feel alright
today is flat beneath the weight of next day, next day, next day, next day
in the morning
feeling halfright
ignore my condition
just an isolated incident
in the morning
feeling halfright
appearing normal
another isolated incident
when my mind's uncertain my body decides
what it will do to get through the hell of the night
as I trip on the ocean that leads through your eyes
well my eyes can't wait til they finally see through you
when I get this feeling like I'm gonna start I just have to stop

The ZR Series of folding machines come in gauge sizes of 18, 16, 14 and 11. From the original ideas of Otto Thalmann, the man that invented the long folding machine, these are the world's most advanced heavy-duty, hydraulic folding machines. The machines can be ordered in standard lengths of 13, 21, 26, 32 and 40 feet, as well as custom lengths.
Clamping and bending beams are driven by separate control shafts for precise, parallel movements. A Frequency inverter on the hydraulic motor, which controls clamping and folding beams, as well as the backgauge, insures that all three axis speeds are controlled in a fluid and accurate motion. Quick and easy crowning and radius adjustments are located on the front of each c-frame for material and profile changes.
Greater free space in front of the upper and folding beams means you can form complex geometric shapes.
Has the most powerful and easy-to-use controls on the market. The DS2801 stores all of the standard profiles vital to the metal building and architectural roofing industries, as well as custom profiles that you create.
An integrated leveling system eliminates the need for separate shimming pads. The machine uses mechanical clamping with clamp-release operation via a hydraulic cylinder. Curve-pressed beams give it the most highly engineered and strongest clamping and folding beams in the world. Drive shaft bearings are sleeved with high quality bronze couplers. All other bearings subject to wear are hardened and machine ground. The Kinematic positive stop on the rear of the machine eliminates over-clamping and prevents damage to frames and linkages over time.
On the Thalmann Infinity Double-Bend machine has, two bending aprons with different axis points (due to the metal thickness) are precisely attuned to each other. Consequently, in one bending program the bending axis can be against the topside of the metal, whilst it can also be against the underside of the metal. This metal thickness can be up to 3 mm on aluminium sheet.
The Infinity DF – Double Folder
The high operating speed of the machine, which has a modern, highly dynamic hydraulic drive, demands high stability. The swivel time of a bending apron is noticeably less than 2 seconds for 140 degrees. This speed can be reduced infinitely and synchronously to the side.
To achieve even more precise machine bending, a new and exceptionally precise synchronous system was developed for the bending and clamping aprons. The function of this system permits the production of perfectly curved sheet metal profiles.
New and interesting possibilities for manufacturing sheet metal profiles are provided by the fitted depth-controlled stop, which is programmable both parallel and also in a tapered manner. With a maximum insertion depth of 1250 mm, the Combi-Bend provides plenty of space for rational sheet-metal processing.

According to notices outside it is in the 2010 / 2011 GBG, and I can believe it. I will not bother to describe the layout because it has been so well done by other posters
My visit was October Friday lunchtime, bit out of season, so I nearly had the place to myself
4 hand pulls on my visit, I opted for "Proper Job" because it was brew I had not experienced before. It was lovely, especially with the £1.50 cheese & onion roll purchased at the same time
The weather, whilst fine was bit windy, so I sat inside, and to echo previous posting, it was a very relaxed time, even inside, if I had not other things to do I could very easily have settled here for a while
Staff were polite and helpful [I was nearly the only customer]
Unlikely to go to IOW again, but if I did I would return here without any qualms
Photos to follow in due course

King Harry's is the bar of the Glenbrook Hotel but it is open to all and sundry during normal pub hours. The building is as enticing and picturesque as things get even by Isle of Wight standards, a choclate box thatched building with picturesque floodlit grounds overlooking the chine and containing its own colony of red squirrels.
The cosy bar section is housed in the centre of the building and can be accessed either through the Hotel hallway or via the gardens. Surprisingly, the building only dates back to mid-19th Century but the pseudo medieval décor makes it feel much older with the centrepeice being a magnificent ornate carved stone fireplace. There are plenty of beams and pillars and enough touristy ambience to keep most visitors happy.
Beer wise there were 4 ales were available across the 6 hand pumps - Bombardier, Fullers ESB, Wells Banana Bread Beer and Island Wight Knight. Quality was fine and prices seemed about par for the area. From the large collection of pump clips displayed around the beams and ceilings I would gather that there is a good guest ale rotation policy. There is a separate restaurant but I didn't investigate any food options.
The toilets may take a bit of getting used to with their full length glass French doors peering out directly onto the beer garden and just a thin net curtain protecting the user's modesty.
Maybe I was lucky and we caught a sunny day where we lazed away an hour or so watching the squirrels frolicking but I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed ambience of the place and it was certainly one of my favourite pubs of the good number we did on the island.

Soup Dragon left this review about King Harry's Bar
A large detached thatched stone pub and restaurant that does accommodation and has a terrific beer garden, with views over Shanklin Chine.
The interior had three rooms that i saw. The bar was all dark to be honest and i caouldn't see much, there was an ante room before the main dining area, that was in a salmony colour with beams and some stone. The big dining room had a blue ceiling with mock stone battlement and fake Tudor door and fire surrounds. Interest was also supplied by a beer mat colllection. The service was a mix of friendly, by the younger chap and surly, by the older chap. The clientele was non-existant inside the pub, as it was a nice day, so all were ensconced in the beer garden.
Beer; some tap stuff, but a classier choice. On handpull, there was a good Adnams Broadside and the untried Fuller's ESB and Exmoor's Fox.
At first, i didnt enjoy the service and despite being a historian, the interior was a bit too fake. However, the beer garden was class and the other chap made up for it - the beer i had was also fine - so i would give this GBG 2010 every chance of a return.

Sean Murphy, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor , Laboratory Medicine
University of Washington;
Assistant Director, Clinical Microbiology Laboratory
UW Medical Center ;
Member, Center for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases, University of Washington
Clinical Investigator, Malaria Clinical Trials Center

Dr. Murphy's work focuses on the immune response to complex infectious diseases and on diagnostic test development. The major focus of the laboratory is malaria infection of humans and animal models by Plasmodium parasites. There is currently no approved vaccine to prevent malaria infection. However, for the past 40 years, it has been known that humans and animals can be protected against later infections when experimentally immunized with repeated doses of attenuated Plasmodium sporozoites, the form of the parasite that is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. The protective immune responses induced by these kind of immunizations remain largely unknown because it is extremely difficult to simultaneously monitor responses against hundreds of potential antigens. Using novel high-throughput T cell screening technologies developed in collaboration with Dr. Brad Stone, Dr. Murphy's group studies the complex poly-specific T cell repertoire induced by Plasmodium sporozoites using mouse models of malaria infection. The laboratory is also exploring novel methods to experimentally induce broadly protective immune responses against malaria using synthetic biology-based T cell vaccines.
A major goal of this work is to identify protective antigens in mice, validate the orthologous antigens in human subjects and develop unprecedented multi-component subunit vaccines that target the pre-erythrocytic stage of malaria infection. Such vaccines could accelerate elimination and eventual eradication of malaria, a major goal worldwide. The tools that the Murphy Lab are developing for antigen discovery and vaccination may also find use more broadly for other infectious and autoimmune diseases in need of vaccines and therapeutics. Our group is exploring several such possibilities using small animal models and livestock in an effort to improve both human and livestock health.
In collaboration with Dr. Jim Kublin (Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center) and the Seattle Biomed Malaria Clinical Trials Center (MCTC, http://seattlebiomed.org/mctc), Dr. Murphy helps to conduct controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) studies in Seattle that are aimed at identifying effective malaria drug and vaccine candidates in humans. These Phase I/II studies are used to make early decisions about such candidates prior to initiating larger Phase II/III studies in malaria-endemic regions. The samples obtained in these studies are also used to identify correlates of immunity and to probe for new antigens. The Seattle MCTC center is the only West Coast-based CHMI facility in the U.S. that was purpose-built to conduct these studies. Dr. Murphy serves as a clinical investigator in these studies. In addition, the quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) assays developed by Dr. Murphy are conducted by the Department of Laboratory Medicine under Dr. Murphy's direction in support of early diagnosis in these CHMI studies. The qRT-PCR assays supported by UW are recognized as some of the most sensitive and robust molecular diagnostic assays for malaria in the world – the assays allow for detection of malaria parasites in human blood up to 3-4 days earlier than by conventional blood smears. Dr. Murphy's group is also promoting a quality improvement initiative to implement external quality assurance amongst a network of CHMI centers that perform molecular malaria testing in the U.S., Europe, Africa and Australia.
Dr. Murphy is Assistant Professor of Laboratory Medicine, University of Washington. He is Assistant Director of the clinical microbiology laboratory in Laboratory Medicine at the University of Washington Medical Center, which provides testing for infectious diseases. Dr. Murphy is also a Member of the UW-based Center for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases and is a Clinical Investigator with the Malaria Clinical Trials Center at Seattle Biomedical Research Institute.

Juan Perez Rodriguez brings a stripped-down set of "pure" Flamenco — just Juan, his voice, and his guitar. For an artist typically known for his piano playing, this will be a performance of B-side rarities, heard exclusively at the AIC Center!
ABOUT JUAN PEREZ RODRIGUEZ: Rising pianist and composer Juan Perez Rodriguez and his trio bring the classical Flamenco sounds of Spain to the AIC Center. Considered a "living history" of Andalusia, the Flamenco style is passed from generation to generation, transmitting culture and identity through music. Rising pianist Juan Perez Rodriguez learned the art of Flamenco from his father, and now blends jazz, classical, and the art of improvisation to forge the next phase of Flamenco's dynamic history.
A Berklee graduate, Rodriguez has collaborated with legendary Flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia, and recently performed at WBUR's Spring Fest 2012 and the Zumix Summer Concert series alongside some of Boston's most beloved jazz, classical, and world music acts. Join us for an evening with Juan, as this torch-bearer of the Flamenco tradition treats us to soundscapes that have been described as "passionate, nostalgic, and having a dynamic intensity similar to that of fire and water in nature."
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., music starts at 7:00 p.m.

If there was one pitcher on the team last year that just had bad luck despite his pitching performances on the mound, senior Kevin Brandt was that guy. The left-hander from Fuquay-Varina, N.C. tossed four complete games to lead the club and Conference USA - all in losing efforts.
Sporting a 3-1 record entering league play, Brandt tossed his first complete game of the season at No. 19 UCF allowing just two runs (one earned) on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks in a 2-1 loss.
Four weeks later he was out-dueled by Rice hurler Matthew Reckling in a battle of Top-25 squads. Once again Brandt allowed a pair of runs (both earned) on six hits with a strikeout and a pair of walks. On any other night that would have been enough to secure a victory over the No. 7 team in the land, but Reckling was in a zone allowing just one hit over nine full frames with 10 punch-outs in the Owls' 2-0 victory.
On May 11, Brandt was again sharp in his outing against Southern Miss. However, Andrew Pierce was just a little better tossing a three-hit complete game shutout with 11 strikeouts. ECU's lefty also allowed just three hits, but a throwing error in the seventh frame by Corey Thompson and an RBI single up the middle by second baseman Isaac Rodriguez gave the Golden Eagles a late 1-0 lead, which they would not relinquish.
Brandt's final complete game effort came during the 2012 C-USA Championships in Pearl, Miss. Against Tulane, he allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits with three strikeouts in eight innings of work. Once again errors cost the Pirates late in the contest as the Green Wave scored two runs in the sixth on back-to-back errors from the left side of the infield.
Despite the four close call set backs, Brandt earned all-conference honors for the second-time in his career taking home first-team accolades in 2012. He ranked 14th nationally in starts (16) and 42nd in complete games, while ranking among the league leaders in inning pitched (1st/106.1), pickoffs (1st/nine), starts (1st), ERA (3rd/2.12), wins (t5th/seven), earned runs allowed (t7th/25) and opposing batting average (10th/.237).

It has a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display (with a maximum resolution of 1,024 x 600), GMA 3150 integrated graphics, and plenty connectivity options such as 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, 5-in-1 card slot, three USB ports and VGA-out. Fujitsu also included a spill-resistant keyboard, as well as a DVD Sharing application that allows the MF3300 to access the DVD drive on your PC.
Perhaps the biggest turn offs besides the paltry gig of RAM are its 3-cell battery and the fact that it uses Windows 7 Starter. Available in black or red color options, the Fujitsu LifeBook MH330 will start shipping in Asia this month for around $500. Interestingly, on a separate note, while Fujitsu is still betting on the 10-inch netbook market, it seems HP and Dell might be cutting back on their investments due to disappointing sales of Pine Trail-based systems.

A filing to the FCC has suggested that there may be a new Playstation 3 model in the works. The documents detail a new Playstation 3 model with a possible model number of 4000. The current series of Playstation 3 models are part of the 3000 series, which identifies a PS3 Slim model.The specific model number shown in the documents is CECH-4001x. According to Eurogamer, the x in the model number will be replaced with a character of the alphabet to identify hard disk specifications. This means that the model may be fitted with different hard drives, offering different numerical values in terms of space available.
If this new model is in fact in development, it will be the second revision of the Playstation 3, with the Slim version released in 2009. What should be noted is that Gamescom is in fact approaching and Sony has confirmed their appearance at the German event. It was at Gamescom that Sony revealed the current Slim Playstation 3 model, so it is no surprise that the event may be the reveal of the 2nd hardware revision.
Below is an image from the document in question:
Source: Eurogamer
It will probably be of cheaper build quality as well as Sony don't deliver on quality anymore. We already saw that with the Slim. They just want to make money to get out of their financial misery.

There has been a lot of claims made by proponents of man-made global warming. One of them includes former Vice President Al Gore telling public officials that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013, but instead they expanded. Another theory is that coastal states would be under water, but an array of celebrities and politicians promoting global warming have recently purchased homes in these areas.
The latest study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters predicts that 140 out of 700 UNESCO World Heritage sites could be completely flooded within the next 2,000 years because of global warming. Some of the sites include the Statue of Liberty, Venice, the Sydney Opera House and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial in Japan.
Another dire warning is that a dozen countries could lose half of their territory and another three-dozen nations might lose 10 percent of their territory. In the end, "seven percent of the global population currently lives in regions that will be below local sea level."
"Our analysis shows how serious the long-term impacts for our cultural heritage will be if climate change is not mitigated," said Anders Levermann of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, co-author of the study.
They made their conclusions by rising sea levels due to temperatures increasing by 5.4 degrees – the planet hasn't warmed at all for the past near 18 years. In fact, many scientists have argued that we might be on the verge of a century of global cooling, a premonition that was repeatedly at least twice during the 20th century.
"Due to the de Vries cycle, the global temperature will drop until 2100 to a value corresponding to the 'little ice age' of 1870," write German scientists Horst-Joachim Luedecke and Carl-Otto Weiss of the European Institute for Climate and Energy.

Whenever I look at Marc's photographs I glimpse fractions of lost memories, broken bits of old dreams, and the strong feeling of deja vu washes over me. I've seen this work somewhere and nowhere. I relate to it like an old friend. It comforts and it intrigues. My explanation is that Marc intuits the collective unconscious and that is what I'm recognizing. So it seems to me that the search for beauty and the profound mystery of our world is what drives Marc to make photographs. And that is all to our benefit as we enjoy this work." QUOTED FROM CURATOR'S STATEMENT DOUG MENUEZ NEW YORK, NEW YORK Marc Miller's photographic odyssey has now exceeded forty years. He worked professionally for only a few of those early years.
