'Category 6's' uberstorm spews out bad acting and bent skyscrapers Operating from those simple guidelines, "Category 6: Day of Destruction," CBS's four-hour ode to the wrath of God, should attract even the most reasonable thinkers to revel in the shredding of several major American cities. Incidentally, the same can be said of "Category 6" itself, a miniseries one step beyond devastatingly awful. A cluster of tornadoes devastates the countryside in CBS's "Category 6." seattlepi.nwsource.com /tv/199277_tv12.html

Westin Hotel Ottawa List of skyscrapers Category:Hotels of the United States WSTR FM 94.1 ("Star 94") also lists the building as its allotment, indicating it too might have used the building at one point.

HoustonChronicle.com - Models show 'massive devastation' in Houston Newer skyscrapers, including many built during Houston's downtown boom in the '80s, were modeled in wind tunnels to determine their performance in extreme weather events. It concluded that a large Category 4 or Category 5 -- a storm only moderately larger than the four that struck Florida last summer -- would cause as much as $40 billion to $50 billion in damage. Unfortunately, planners say, as devastating as that storm was, it's a poor predictor of what to expect from a larger, Category 4 or bigger storm. www.chron.com /cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/3046592   (1356 words)

The Bayesian Image Retrieval System, PicHunter: Theory, Implementation and Psychophysical Experiments Users search for images that belong to a prototypical category, e.g., ``dogs'', ``skyscrapers'', ``kitchens'', or ``scenes of basketball games''; in some sense, when a user is asked to find an image that is adequately similar to a target image, the user embarks on a category search. This type of search is valuable for testing purposes (see section V) and occurs, for example, when checking if a particular logo has been previously registered, or when searching for a specific historical photograph to accompany a document, or when looking for a specific painting whose artist and title escapes the searcher's memory. In a typical application, a user may start a search for a wallpaper geometric pattern with pastel colors, but the goal may change several times during the search, as the user navigates through the database and is exposed to various options. pnylab.com /pny/papers/phj/phj   (1356 words)

Oh My Rockness ((Chin Up Chin Up)) The band creates an inviting wall of sound by fusing warm, clean guitar melodies and subtle synths around the "typical" time/tempo changes of a Midwest indie band, but these guys should not be lumped into any one category based on their zip code. We Should Have Never Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers flow with unnatural grace, each track's transitions not only working, but also sounding as if the story couldn't unfold any other way. Chicago's Chin Up Chin Up are one of those rare bands that I not only instantly liked the first moment I heard them, but also have kept me interested after all these months of spins. www.ohmyrockness.com /BandBio.cfm?BandID=1055   (299 words)
