Human activity analysis is an important area of computer vision and pattern recognition research with the rapid development of computing and sensing technologies such as the emergence of social network and wearable devices. It is becoming more and more critical to develop human-centered multimedia analytics including human behavior recognition, personal data mining, experiences of wearable-device applications, intelligent surveillance, semantic relationship analysis between heterogeneous multimedia. The development of the Internet of Things opens up great potential.
Call for Papers
The proliferation of Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSN) has created a large amount of multi-sensor signals across multi-modality (e.g., optical, EO/IR, acoustic/seismic, RF, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal, electrical, etc). Traditional approach often makes detection at each sensor and integrates the binary decision information at a central processor. In doing so, much of the important sensor signal information has lost. The result of this low quality processing is subsequent ineffective detection, localization, and tracking algorithms, relative to what is possible if the full signals of the sensors were processed and leveraged using signal processing tools such as information geometry, particle filter, orthogonal transforms, principal component analysis, sparse signal processing, etc. This need is also motivated by the fact that humans display a remarkable capability to perform multimodal signal processing despite noisy sensory signals and conflicting inputs. Humans are adept at network visualization, and at understanding subtle implications among the network connections. To date, however, human's innate ability to process and integrate signals from disparate, network-based sources has not translated well to signal processing in HSN.
Multimodal quality models aim at evaluating the quality of multiple media contents (e.g., image, audio, and video), either objectively or subjectively. They are useful tools in various applications such as graphical design, recommendation systems, and etc. Building a successful quality model depends on a wide range of domain knowledge, like signal processing, semantic modeling, and human perception. Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to design computational quality models. While effective methods to manipulate this task are still at their infancy.
This special issue will target the most recent technical progresses on the signal processing and learning methods for 3D semantic analysis, including 3D representation and registration, 3D object retrieval and recognition, tracking, segmentation and reconstruction.
With the rapid development of computing and sensing technologies, human pose recovery and behaviour analysis are becoming emergent, and a lot of approaches have been proposed for potential applications, such as home entertainment, media content analysis, public surveillance/security, and education purposes. Machine learning and signal processing are critically important for precisely recovering human poses and effectively analysing behaviours.
This special issue covers the signal processing theory, modeling, algorithms, and implementation aspects related to wireless acoustic sensor networks and ad hoc microphone arrays and their use in various applications.
Image restoration and enhancement is a classical research area in image processing. Previously, adaptive local and nonlocal approximations have been popular. Local approximations attempt to estimate the image content in a locally adaptive neighborhood. Nonlocal methods exploit the self-similarity within the whole image without the constraint of locality. The former tends to be more efficient and the latter would produce better results. Recently, learning-based techniques adopting advances in machine learning and computer vision, such as sparse coding and dictionary learning, have attracted much more attention and been applied to image/video restoration and enhancement. These techniques can represent image contents better using learned dictionaries. In addition, some novel application areas, e.g., legacy photos and paintings, HD/3D displays, mobile and portable devices, and web-scale data, have prompted new research interests in image/video restoration and enhancement.
The main objective of this special issue is to bring the ideas of worldwide research community to present the latest developments and to advance the fields of CBM and MA through applications of the modern time-frequency processing techniques.
This special issue is intended to bring together the greatest research efforts in indexing of large-scale multimedia signals.

Suzuki's Mickael Pichon scored his second straight 250cc World Championship with a victory today in the German Grand Prix in Gaildorf. Pichon topped Honda-mounted Pit Beirer and Yamaha's Frederic Bolley.
With two rounds remaining in the series, Pichon has an unmatchable 238 points after 10 rounds.
"I knew that if I kept up with [Alessio] Chiodi I could take the lead, he would tire or make a mistake and I would get out in front," said Pichon in a release issued by Honda. "I was a little cautious as the bike was running too lean and I could hear it detonating. I kept my lead and held enough points to take the world title, it's nice to have the pressure off now and of course to be World Champion. It's not the same feeling as last year when I won my first title here at this same track, your first title I think leaves you special memories and emotions."
Kiwi Joshua Coppins rode his CR250 to fourth place.
Belgian Joel Smets rode his KTM to victory in the 500cc GP, besting countryman Stefan Everts. Everts, who now has a 40-point lead in the World 500cc Championship, held the lead for 12 of the 21 laps on the hillside circuit at Gaildorf. Smets was too strong and his determination showed as he went onto open up a nine-second lead over the reigning champion. Smets moves to third position in the points classification with 182 points, now only four points behind second placed Marnicq Bervoets – Everts' Yamaha teammate. Frenchman Yves Demaria (KTM) joined Smets and Everts on the podium.
"Stefan and I came together off the start line, I bike put too much power down and we touched," Smets said. "I was almost knocked off the track but Everts managed to hold his bike straight but I was left back in 10 or 12th position, that really motivated me to catch Stefan. I pulled in a second or more per lap and I think I was the stronger rider of the two here, I just wanted to show him that there might only be two rounds remaining but he hasn't claimed the title yet, I will put in a fight to the last minute of the final race."
Kawasaki's Mickael Maschio fought back from fourth position to take the win in the 125cc Grand Prix of Germany, the petite Frenchman now has a single point lead over the Belgian Caps and rode his Kawasaki machine to victory ahead of the three chasing KTM machines of Caps, Ramon and Sword. American Jeff Dement rode his Honda to seventh position and is lying in eighth position in the championship.

Rooms for Kids
When you're searching for rooms for kids with the perfect look for your child's bedroom, its important to remember the very special and unique personality of your child. At Rooms To Go, we specialize in offering rooms for kids that are fun, safe and durable. Our rooms for kids offer the same quality craftsmanship, durability, and seamless room coordination that we've come to be known for with our adult furniture.
Rooms for kids can made up of any combination of a bed, dresser and nightstand really. For young rooms for kids, the bed would be replaced with a crib or a bassinette. Beds in toddler's rooms for kids, are often lower to ground and twin size. Although some parents go ahead an invest in a full size, or a double bed, in their rooms for kids, as soon as their child moves out of the crib, so they do not have to buy them a new bed five years down the road.
Rooms for kids, and rooms for boys and girls are often very different. Boys need a lot of space to play, so remember to give them that when choosing furniture for your rooms for kids. Little girls love pretty things, so remember to choose soft pinks, purples even blue and flowers in your girls' rooms for kids. For each parent, rooms for kids mean something different. You know your very special unique child and you will ultimately know how to choose the perfect rooms for kids.

Skip to comments.What are the most important factors in determining "stopping power"? (vanity)
Posted on 06/21/2003 5:53:58 AM PDT by rudy45
I have been investigating various pistols for self-defense/concealed carry purposes. From time to time I see threads on the merits of one caliber vs. another. For example, I have seen snide (g) comments about .380 (e.g. "great for shooting mice" or "what are you going to do with it, THROW it at your attacker?").
I wonder, however, if OTHER factors besides caliber will affect stopping power. Specifically, am I correct that different types of ammunition, though designed for the same gun, can/will have different speeds? If I remember my physics correctly, force=mass times the square of acceleration. Therefore, is it possible that even with a "smaller" caliber such as .22 or .380, I can compensate by having a higher velocity round? In other words, do different types of ammunition vary that greatly in speed as to affect stopping ability? Thanks.
I would just get that and fuggedaboudit. :-D
The reason the Army adopted the .45 in the first place was that the .38 caliber pistol was too weak when used against the Moro tribesmen in the Phillipines, and hence when the .45 was successful in shooting and stopping doped-up insurgents, it became the M1911 service pistol.
I own a Beretta 9mm, and hope to buy a Kahr 9mm for concealed carry, regardless of these facts. Why? Combat engagement ranges are usually in excess of 50 meters, and personal protection situations usually are less than 10 meters. I'm gaining concealment of a smaller weapon for the trade off in stopping power (particularly at distance). Plus I plan and train to shoot two rounds center mass of target, and then re-evaluate the threat.
So, it really comes down to what you're comfortable carrying, shooting and hitting your target with.
Please forgive my possible ignorance, but I gather that JHP is a brand of ammunition, in which each round has 115 grains (?) of gunpowder? Is 115 grains considered much, or little, or in-between? Thanks.
Now, having said all that, it comes down to which portion of the stopping power curve you want to be on. Recoil plays a key role in this. You certainly want to have control of the weapon...9mm being fairly easy to handle is still adequate for defense. The 125 gr 357 Magnum is sited as the best for stopping power, but you pay in recoil.
FORGET ABOUT 1-SHOT STOPPING POWER. There is no such thing as it takes a brain or spine shot to effect a complete shutdown of a perp, both iffy under stress. Proper bullet placement and 'hit them til they go down' no matter the caliber should be how you train.
As a person who loads and carries many calibers, I think these statements do not bear out with ER statistics. A .380 Hydrashock, etc. can be a deadly round. I do not weigh 300 pounds. I cannot conceal my .45 Colt Combat Commander MKII in the Summertime. I carry a .380 simply because I cannot conceal the Sig 226, either.
I think comments like that are best reserved to the useless and annoying .25ACP. They neglect that fact that in many places, if used in self-defense, you WILL use it at powder burn range, or you will go down for murder.
The 22/25 are a compromise in carry package, certainly not in caliber choice. The 25 starts to come into a better cartridge, but only with specialized ammo....Glasers. The 380 is an ok cartridge, but if you are looking at a package that small, there are many good 38 Special revolvers in the same size and even less weight with Titanium available. And you get a more effective cartridge.
And that round can indeed produce fatal results, with head shots, as in the assassination of Robert Kennedy. However, John Hinkley failed to produce similar results when he attacked Ronald Reagan in 1981. If Hickley had a .45, we'd have had George Bush (41) eight years earlier. (Perish the thought!)
But I'd rather have that .22 than a rolled up newspaper!
Otherwise, 45ACP 185 JHP or in a revolver .38 Special +P 147 Hydrashock.
JHP stands for Jacketed Hollow Point, also known as 'flying ash trays' ... The brand of ammunition I was referring to is actually made by CorBon ... the CorBon +P 115gr JHP specifically ... CorBon makes rounds for law enforcement and military that us civie slobs can also buy. The +P stands for 'increased pressure', meaning that the round is loaded (with propellent/powder) slightly hotter than a typical 9mm round, so it has a higher velocity than a 'normal' 9mm round. The '115gr' is the weight of the bullet itself, not the powder.
+p rounds should only be fired thru higher quality guns in good condition, btw. I have put around 3000 rounds of the +p through my Beretta 92F (and maybe 5000 more rounds that are not +p), and it is holding up well.
I wouldn't hesitate to choose a 9mm, or even a .38 with good ammunition, if I were limited to a medium caliber handgun. But since I'm not, I practice regularly with both a .45acp 1911 pistol and a model 66 .357 magnum revolver. It's almost impossible to conceal either of those guns in hot weather clothing, so I admit to carrying a small .38 revolver, or at times an even smaller .380 pistol in summer. My theory is that in the unlikely event that a life threatening confrontation occurs, any gun is better than no gun. So even if I were for some reason restricted to only a .22 or .25 caliber pistol, I would make it a point to have it close at hand whenever possible.
I've had one for about a year now, like it, have better than a thousand rounds fired through it with no problems, and find it carries on an inside-the-trousers belt holster better than most of the cut-down M1911 versions do, [that's not to say that I don't like a M1911 .45, only that I prefer them in a full-size or Commander-sized package.] particularly in the summertime under a T-shirt or golf shirt.
You'll find a great deal of information on the PT145 and other caliber Taurus autos at PT145.com and its certainly worth checking out in detail if you're considering one of these pistols.
Find a weapon you are comfortable with, get good quality factory hollow point ammunition (Speer Gold Dot, Remington Golden Saber, Federal Hydra Shok, Winchester SXT)to carry in it. Get some decent target ammo and shoot. A lot. My solution to the shooting a lot is a Dillon 550 progressive re-loader and once a week on the range with my duty weapon and my fun guns
The right gun to have in a crappy situation is the one you've got on you. Make sure you know how to work it and hit the target. Good Luck
Kinetic energy is the next most important.
Other folks have complied numbers on the kinetic energy of rounds. 45 caliber and 357SIG are at the top of the list of practical calibers. .40 is close and 9mm is lower. There is a big gap between 9mm and .380.
For that reason, I'd be uncomfortable depending on anything less than 9mm.
That's right, you can. In fact, they refer to it as the 5.56 NATO round (or .223). It's in the M16/AR15.
And it packs A HELL of a lot more punch than the .380.
A 55 grain .223 will have significantly more stopping power than a 150 grain .38, due to higher velocity, and thus higher kinetic energy.
The "stopping power" of a round is dependent on how much kinetic energy can be applied to damaging tissue and causing rapid blood loss, which depends on how much energy is in the round, and how much of that energy is actually expended in the target (a round which makes a neat tiny hole and expends most of its energy in the wall beyond the target doesn't do you that much good.
Big, deep holes are better than small or shallow holes
Depending on the target, a .22 may stop one aggressor, while another (for example, hyped up on PCP) may require an RPG splattering body parts over the landscape to stop.
One final note: a .22 in the hand beats a .44 magnum left home in the closet. The ideal carry gun is the one light enough to be carried habitually, while having enough power to take down an average attacker. You may be best served by having two carry guns: a small light one for times when concealability is most important, and a .45 for those times when you need to be going thru nasty parts of town at night
115 gr is the weight of the bullet in grains (437.5 grains = 1 ounce)
JHP = jacketed hollow point = bullet with a hollow cavity in front (which makes it open up and expand on impact) and a copper jacket surrounding it (so you don't get lead buildup on the inside of your barrel)
Almost any size round can be lethal if used right. As someone else posted, the AR-15 (an excellent gun) uses a .223 round and it is a highly lethal weapon. However, if you shoot someone with a .22 short round from a short barrel pistol, well you might as well beat them over the head with the pistol. It will probably be more effective.
A bigger round, like a .44 magnum, a .45 ACP, or a .50 caliber will almost always stop someone dead in their tracks. A smaller, high velocity round like a 9mm can go straight through someone without them even realizing they've been shot (for a while anyway).
But I also subscribe to the school of thought that says I'd rather carry a .25 than nothing at all.
Yes, but the momentum of a bullet is not all that much. The momentum of the bullet as it hits its target is less (because of air resistance) than the momentum when it left your gun. The recoil of your handgun is worse than the sheer momentum the victim feels. If the bullet bounces off, I suppose the momentum could be increased, but what matters is the
momentum/(surface area * time)(I think--it's been a while since I did any physics)
Such a thing exists, in handgun form. The FN Five-seveN does this.
Sources: FN, Winchester Ammunition, * calculated by arnieairsoft program
FN 5.7x28mm ball: 31gr 2,133fps 309ft/lbs* Winchester .380ACP
silvertip hollowpoint:
85gr 1000fps 189 ft/lbs
The Israeli El Al airline security officers assigned to that detail by the General Security Services [ShinBet] thought otherwise, and found the reduced loads used in their .22 Berettas [loaded in .22 long rifle cartridge cases for feeding through the pistols magazines, but at .22 short velocity levels] were quite okay. I had the chance to shoot with a couple of those operators, who thought that shooting off a 500-round box of ammo was a good warmup, and that my Browning GP was unnecessarily noisy. A few also used the .22 short chambered Astra model 2000 *cub* as a backup handgun; the little Astra makes even a Walther PPK look large by comparison; I used to keep one as a backup in my handcuff case. But again, you have to practice with it to get the desired result.
There's at least one recorded case of an elephant being killed by a .22 short. And do not ever think that if such a weapon is pointed your way that your life is not in danger.

So, nearly 5 months after giving birth to my son, I couldn't be less interested in sex... actually, that's not true. I feel the urge, but when my husband goes to touch me, I actually have to make myself let him. I feel the urge to pull away and tell him to stop and completely lose interest. We've had sex a few times and we have to use a lot of lube and it still hurts, so I don't know if that's why I'm so turned off or what... anyone else feel this way or have felt this way? Is it the hormones? Could it be postpartum depression? I'm fine otherwise... tired, but I work full time teaching 6th grade and have a 5 month old at home, so who wouldn't be tired. I still enjoy going out with friends, reading books, etc so no symptoms of withdrawing or losing interest in activities. I'm frustrated and I know my husband is too...
Anyone else NOT interested in sex?
Same problem. I love my fiance very much, but every time he tries to intiate sex, I have an overwhelming desire to literally push him away. I can't stand the feeling of being touched right now. Even non-sexual touching makes me cringe; on the arm, face, back, anything.
I'm convinced it's a combination of BFing and the fact that I spend most of my waking hours holding, nursing, bouncing, rocking, or otherwise touching another little human. I am touched out. Once I get to bed, I just want my space.

Me too. I feel awful, I love my husband and I'm crazy attracted to him but I'm just so exhausted all the time and scared of it hurting.
I can completly relate to everyones post. I love my husband more then anything but when it comes to sex I kinda smile and change the subject. I think about sex and fee bad that I do not have the same drive as I used to. I have been saying its bc Im tired or blame it on bf but after seeing this I wonder if it is a hormone issue. I would love to have my old sex drive back. I know my DH would love it too.
Thank you all so much for replying! I feel the exact same way - I don't even want him to touch me! Thank God I'm not the only one. Hopefully it's going to go away, but in the meantime, I feel like an awful wife and he feels like I don't find him attractive... ugh. Thank goodness I have people who understand on here because I really don't have anyone else to talk to.
I'm a FTM so it was hard for me to switch from mom mode (like PP said...holding..rocking...soothing..playing ect) to sexxy kitten mode! I had been working on doing that though....I do kinda mindfuly know I want to have sex 2-3X a week (this amount works really well for me to feel connected to SO and feel like our relationship is strong)....so when I put LO to bed I try and mindfully move onto sexy women I want my man mode! lol It's been working really well...things have gotten a lot better since a few months ago. I will say that it doesn't hurt down there anymore though....we have had sex on average 1-3X per week since 6 weeks pp and I really think that more sex you have the more comfortable it gets down there. (IT HURT LIKE HELL THE FRIST 4 or 5 times!!!) I had 3 tears...but like I said it's good now. :)

WASHINGTON — When is it permissible to challenge laws that restrict campaign rhetoric and attack ads?
On April 22, that was the narrow legal issue before the U.S. Supreme Court, when it heard oral arguments in Susan B. Anthony v. Driehaus, pitting a leading activist group that raises money for national pro-life candidates against an Ohio state law that bars "false statements" from being made during political campaigns.
The justices weighed legal technicalities that will decide whether the Susan B. Anthony List has standing to pursue its First Amendment case. But the organization's president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, contends that the closely watched case points to a more urgent and politically relevant matter: getting the truth out about federal funding of abortion through Obamacare.
"If it takes a few cups of coffee to understand all this, drink up. But remember that politics require — and must not be allowed to censor — debates like these," argued Dannenfelser in an April 22 column in USA Today timed for the oral arguments.
"The verdict in Susan B. Anthony v. [Steven] Driehaus is not just about the differences in worldview between two sides in the abortion debate; it is about the liberty of every American — liberal, conservative and in-between — to make his or her case without fear of censorship and prosecution by the state."
Affordable Care Act
The case dates back to 2010, when President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA), after issuing an executive order that barred federal funding of abortions in the new health law and thus defused resistance from pro-life Democrats in the House.
The pro-life movement was skeptical about the value of the executive order. Activists charged that it was designed to provide political cover for lawmakers, who feared they would be punished by their constituents for supporting a health law that did not include the Hyde Amendment's ironclad language baring federal dollars for elective abortion.
Months later, the Susan B. Anthony List planned a billboard campaign for the 2010 midterm elections that targeted U.S. Rep. Steven Driehaus, D-Ohio, and framed his support for the law as a vote for "taxpayer-funded abortion."
Driehaus threatened to prosecute the Susan B. Anthony List under Ohio law that bars "false statements" about political candidates, and the pro-life organization was then denied access to the billboard to post its campaign ad. Driehaus brought his complaint to the Ohio Election Commission, which sided with him — though the claim was dropped after he lost his seat to Republican Steve Chabot in the 2010 election.
The Susan B. Anthony List decided to challenge the law in court, arguing that the statute violated its First Amendment right to free speech, and its lawsuit has received backing from the American Civil Liberties Union.
On April 22, the oral arguments before the justices addressed the narrow legal question of "ripeness." Could the group pursue its legal challenge at this time, given that it had not been prosecuted for violating Ohio's "false statement" law?
Is the Claim 'Ripe'?
David Langdon, a lawyer for the Susan B. Anthony List, told the Register that the high court agreed to determine whether "the claim is 'ripe.'"
To that end, the justices weighed several questions. Could the Susan B. Anthony List and another activist group only challenge the law in court if they could prove that the state would have successfully prosecuted them — as the Sixth Circuit ruled? Or was it enough for the petitioner to have "probable cause" that they would be prosecuted under Ohio law?
But the broader and more interesting First Amendment issues posed by "false statement" laws enacted by Ohio and a number of other states also stirred discussion.
"The larger issue of concern is being able to engage in campaign speech — and more specifically, speech criticizing incumbents for their votes — without fear of being haled before a state commission which sits in judgment of the truth or falsity of their speech," said Langdon.
During the oral arguments, Michael Carvin, the Jones Day lawyer representing the Susan B. Anthony List, linked Ohio's law to the totalitarian system of state-sanctioned propaganda produced by the "ministry of truth" in George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984.
"Our constitutional claim, here, is the ministry of truth has no ability to judge our political speech as falsity," Carvin argued.
Scalia and Breyer Unsettled
Justices Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer were clearly unsettled by the law and the chilling effect it might have on campaign speech.
"What's the harm?" Breyer asked. "I can't speak; that's the harm."
Katie Short, the legal director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation, was among the pro-life activists who carefully monitored the hour-long oral arguments.
In her view, the majority of justices appeared to sympathize with the Susan B. Anthony's arguments, while they were "hammering away at the Ohio Election Commission attorney," suggested Short.
"By contrast, the questioning of the Susan B. Anthony attorney and the solicitor general struck me as being rather pro forma and just came from a few justices."
The oral arguments were not expected to examine the substance of the Susan B. Anthony List's disputed campaign ad, which linked a vote for Obamacare to a vote for federal funding of abortion.
Still, one brief exchange in the oral arguments touched on this issue and caught Short's attention.
"Scalia asked Ohio Solicitor Eric Murphy, 'Do you think that the allegedly false statement here was a false statement of fact?'" Short noted.
Murphy responded, "I think there's a good argument that it was not … that there's reasonable interpretations of this ambiguous Affordable Care Act."
The Washington Post, in its coverage of the oral arguments, reported that Driehaus said the campaign ad was "false because the health-care law required that abortion be paid for by a separate account funded solely by enrollees, even though insurers of low-income families would be subsidized with federal money."
Issue Remains Alive
On Capitol Hill, that question remains a live issue, with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and pro-life groups continuing to raise questions about how elective abortions are being paid for in the 26 state health exchanges that permit the procedure and offer policies subsidized by federal dollars.
Meanwhile, the Susan B. Anthony List has announced a new ad campaign, featuring billboards similar to the one that criticized Driehaus in 2010, to defeat three vulnerable Democratic senators who voted for Obamacare in the midterm elections.
Sens. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Mark Pryor, D-Ark., will be singled out "for supporting taxpayer-funded abortion by voting for the Affordable Care Act."
