A very thin glass rod 4 meters long is rubbed all over with a silk cloth. It gains a uniformly distributed charge 1.6 10–6 C. Two small spherical rubber balloons of radius 1.2 cm are rubbed all over with wool. They each gain a uniformly distributed charge of -8 10–8 C. The balloons are near the midpoint of the glass rod, with their centers 3 cm from the rod. The balloons are 2 cm apart (4.4 cm between centers).
(a) Find the net electric field at the location marked by the , 0.6 cm to the right of the center of the left balloon. Things to think about: Which objects make nonzero contributions to at this location? What are the correct distances from sources to the observation location? What is the direction of due to the rod? (The drawing is not to scale; read the problem statement carefully. Assume the +x axis is to the right, the +y axis is up, and the +z axis is out.)
(b) What approximations did you make, if any? Which apply (1-4)?
1. Neglect polarization of balloons.
2. Use approximate formula for electric field of a charged spherical shell.
3. Neglect polarization of rod.
4. Assume distance to observation location is small compared to length of rod.
(c) Next a proton is placed at that same location (marked by the x). What is the force acting on the proton?
F = ________ N (F is a vector)

A mother is furious tonight, after she says her three-year-old child was left on a school bus alone.
She says no one noticed her child was still on board when the bus left a Head Start in Flemingsburg Tuesday morning.
It was just after 8:30 a.m. when the bus pulled up at the Fleming County Head Start and unloaded the passengers.
The bus driver claims she walked the aisles to make sure no students were still on board, then took the bus to Cheaps Chevrolet for an oil change.
There, one of the managers happened to walk by the bus, and saw 3-year-old Makayla Shields in it.
Makayla's mother, Jennifer Workman, says the manager took the girl into the building, got her into his truck, and took her back to Head Start. She claims the school didn't inform her the girl was missing until she was found on the bus.
The bus monitor told officials she checked the bus and Makayla wasn't on it. The bus driver said she checked when she got to Cheaps, but no one was on the bus.
Both the bus driver and the bus monitor have been suspended without pay, pending an investigation.
Despite being left on the bus, Makayla is said to be doing ok.

Who am I & what is this about?
For starters my name is Steffan Harris I am an indie game developer born & raised in Virginia. I went to college at Westwood College of Technology in Denver Colorado studying Video Game Art & Design. After leaving college I came back to Virginia until I met my now wife & moved to Minnesota after working at Gamestop & years of going to conventions & being an avid gamer decided to use what I had learned in college to develop a game.
Upon talking with friends from X-Strike Studios I found the project I wanted to do & thus we have SideQuest. It started off as a movie a parody of RPG's from the late 80's early 90's but never was finished. I read the script & knew that this would make a great retro rpg.
This game is the best of all the rpg's from the 80's & 90's. It has a huge array of party members to choose from; an epic storyline; monsters & massive boss battles. Oh yeah and did I mention Summons. I am currently using the RPG Maker Xp & Vx to build the game and plan to release it on PC through Steam & on disk and am planning to release it on the Xbox 360 Arcade.
This is my first outing as a developer & it can't fully be done without your help. I thought I could do it on my own but soon realized that is not going to happen. I need help from you the public. This is a labour of love & a personal dream of mine.
The Story
For those just catching up to this Side Quest is a JRPG that parodies JRPGs from the 80's & 90's it was written by our own X-Striker Juese & just a touch rewritten by me. It follows Gale Winthrop (Stormwind..Hey things happen & people sometimes have to visit a naming way) On Gales 16th birthday he is forced to take a stand against not only his father & the Envirocorp his father works for to save the planet but save his friend Dreamer and help his friend Bob pick the pieces of his life back up. & believe me not everything is as straight forward as it may seem in the world of Side Quest.
Now on to the technical aspects. The game will be released for the PC either through disk or through Steam also it is being released for the Xbox through the arcade so there will be options for you all the gamers. As far as perks go any donation amount will be getting thanks in the credits & on the web page but larger donations can earn you a spopt in the game as either a vendor, a quest giver, summon or, special playable character.
The website for the project is Sidequestrpg.weebly.com
And you can find us on the book of faces as well. If you have questions please feel free to ask me either on here on facebook the indiegogo page or email me at email@example.com
The Breakdown
The funds for this game are going to various sources for one I need a machine powerful enough to do the build & the art on. I have a machine lined up it is 700. I am sourcing out music & some art & want to set aside an additional 500 for labour. 800 is for materials such as paints, pencils, sketchpads, lightbox &, software such as RPG Maker VX Ace &, Adobe Photoshop CS3. $99 is for the mebership fee to Microsoft to be able to release it on the Xbox Live Arcade Inidie section. The rest is for distribution, printing off maps, prints & , authoring soundtracks.
Even if I don't get the full funding I still need to get a machine so I can get back to work on the game itself. The laptop I was working with died but the data is recoverable. & those who do donate will have the game around two weeks after it's completion.
In Finality
First off I need to tell you this isn't a fund my life project I am still working a fulltime job and paying my own life bills expenses. I am making this game as a labour of love & using it as my stepping stone to get into the industry.
This project is something I have put my heart & dreams into. It's my first outing into the development world & I want to comeplete this with all my being. Any help is appreciated so plese if you can't donate then tell your friends mention it at your local gaming shop whether it be video or table top get the word out & help me with my dream. I have a great story that was written by great friends & I want them to experience it with me.

Hadn't noticed this before… on Leopard, when you do a window screenshot (command-shift-4, space) it now captures the window's drop shadow over a transparent background.
That's pretty cool for demo screenshots; I used to use temporary white backgrounds and capture an area around the window manually, but this is way prettier. 😀

DANONE : DANONE :Danone presents the organizational part of its plan for savings and adaptation in Europe --------- PRESS RELEASE --------- Danone presents the organizational part of its plan for savings and adaptation in Europe February 19, 2013 To address a lasting downturn in the European economy and consumer trends that have led to a significant decline in its sales in the region, Danone announced on December 13, 2012 that it was preparing a cost-reduction and adaptation plan for its organizations to win back its competitive edge. In keeping with that announcement and following a period of in-depth analysis, information on the plan is being presented today to Danone's European Works Council. The project calls for three major changes: 1. A reduction by approximately half of management units, achieved by combining teams from several countries into multi-country units. Danone will continue to do business in the same number of countries and maintain a division-based structure to make best use of features specific to each business line. 2. The combination within subsidiaries of several management functions that currently operate separately. 3. Focusing each level of management (corporate, division, region, etc.) on missions and projects that have a direct impact on business growth. This will also involve simplifying key management processes. As proposed, this model will boost responsiveness and speed up decision-making. It will also generate savings on general and administrative costs that will contribute to the cost-reduction plan announced by Danone on December 13, 2012, enabling Danone to win back its competitive edge in Europe. The proposed plan would lead to the suppression of around 900 management and administrative positions across 26 European countries and will be conducted in contact with all works councils representatives, at both European and local level. The project will emphasize internal mobility and voluntary departures through a dedicated platform favoring internal mobility, support for personal projects and individualized assistance for employees leaving the company. It will be deployed over a two-year period.

Darksiders II Is Just The Most Recent Game to Prove that Imitation Really Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery
I was far from the only reviewer to observe that Darksiders II very clearly draws inspiration and ideas from a number of other games that came before it. Happily, it does so well, and it does so successfully. The mechanics and concepts it brings forward from other games are nearly all good ones, and for the most part… »

Thought that debug was oceans... :(
A free-roaming squad based RPG. Focusing on open-ended gameplay features rather than a linear story. Be a trader, a thief, a rebel, a mercenary, a business owner, a doctor, a bandit... the list goes on. Aid or oppose the various factions in the world while striving for the strength and wealth necessary to simply survive in the harsh desert. Purchase and upgrade your own buildings to use as safe fortified havens when things go bad, or use them to start up a business. Train your men up from puny victims to master warriors. Carry your wounded squad mates to safety and get them all home alive.
The long-overdue pathfinding update is finally out. It was a big one and took quite a while as it involved completely tearing out and replacing the pathfinding system.
Posted by captain_deathbeard on Apr 16th, 2012
This is purely a technical update, and adds no gameplay features. Sorry about that, but it now paves the way for some fun-filled updates coming up next.
This was a big overhaul, so new bugs may have been introduced. Pathfinding is not a pretty subject when you are working on a seamless game world.
The update should download automatically when you next start up the game, or via Desura.
-Total pathfinding overhaul.
-Faster map loading times
-Improved frame rate
-reduced load times when entering buildings
-import squad to a new game now relocates your squad to the starting town.
-you can now set mouse horizontal/vertical speeds, use a negative number to invert the mouse control.
-Custom made launcher without any invalid options to choose.
-There is currently no character collision detection so they all stand in the same spot, I will add this back in asap.
-Splinting doesn't always work, I'm going to make it a separate action in the next update.
-Next I'm going to start on purchaseable buildings, and using them for basic stuff like sleeping and storage.
Thought that debug was oceans... :(
oh so you ARE still alive :P
Good to see
Just too let you know... I dont know if it is meant too be like this but desura didnt show an update but it updated when I started it from desura.
great, keep up the steem :-D
Look forward to the next update now :D

This park is very close to the freeway. So close there is quite a bit of road noise. This is probably why they only allow RVs (no tents). It is also very near a San Diego Trolley stop (Green Line). You get a special key that gives you access to the bathrooms, pool, jacuzzi, and gate that goes to the trolley stop. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and very warm. My kids loved the pool. There is no playground. The sites seem to be mostly permanent residents. The folks are nice and the campground was clean and tidy. Our site (99) was a back-in level gravel pad for the RV with a concrete area next to it. No fire rings and no picnic table. The sites are quite close to each other. The location is very convenient for seeing the sites of San Diego. - kirkcrawford

Some good sites, some not so good. Lots of permanent or semi permanent guests. Excellent access to the electric trolley system which we used extensively. Noisy neighbors apparently doing car maintenance 3 days in a row. Would probably not stay here again. - terrytckl

Cancer of the Small Intestine
In this article
Symptoms of Small Bowel Cancer
Like most GI cancers, early symptoms of small intestine cancer tend to be vague and nonspecific. They may include abdominal discomfort associated with the following:
The following symptoms may indicate advanced disease and should be signs to seek medical attention:
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Visible blood loss: Blood or a material that looks like coffee grounds may be vomited, or black stools may be passed.
- Severe nausea and vomiting, due to a blockage in the small bowel by the enlarging cancer; small intestine cancer is often diagnosed during surgery for an unexplained bowel obstruction.
- Jaundice (yellowish skin): This is a symptom in people with cancer that involves the upper small intestine because of blockage of the bile ducts draining the liver. For example, stools may lighten in color, urine may darken, and the whites of the eyes appear yellow.
Diagnosing Cancer of the Small Intestine
In almost all cases, doctors first choose to perform a barium contrast study of the small intestine. This is also called a small bowel series. Other tests may include:
- Upper GI tract endoscopy to detect areas of concern in the immediate upper GI tract
- CT scan of the abdomen or an abdominal ultrasound to visualize bulky tumors and to evaluate possible spread of the cancer to adjacent lymph nodes and distant organs, such as the liver
- Colonoscopy to help diagnose tumors involving the lower areas of the small bowel
Treatment for Cancer of the Small Intestine
Surgical removal is the primary treatment for cancer of the small intestine. Other treatments may include:
- Chemotherapy, if the cancer has spread or is contained but advanced
- Radiation therapy, if the disease is localized at the place it originated
- Surgery may also relieve symptoms when the cancer has caused a bowel obstruction. In this case, doctors may perform a bypass procedure or limited tumor removal.
Prognosis for Small Bowel Cancer
Fewer than 35% of people who have adenocarcinoma of the small bowel live past five years.
- The survival chances are better if the cancer is limited to the inner walls of the small intestine and the lymph nodes are not involved.
- The chance of recovery is better still in people who have a carcinoid tumor or lymphoma of the small bowel. These malignancies tend to respond better to chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment when doctors cannot completely remove the tumor.
- The prognosis is poor, however, if a person has a small bowel lymphoma with underlying celiac disease or if the person's immune system is weakened.

We've no doubt that the theme music to Animal Crossing: New Leaf is probably permanently engrained in the memories of many 3DS owners right now, but what would that iconic tune sound like if it were played by the orchestra behind The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert?
Wonder no longer — the results are contained in the video below. Enjoy.

Brandon X. Scott, 20.
- Filed Under
Police said a man opened fire with a handgun at a Staunton home late Monday night, firing several rounds into a residence on Buick Street.
Officers from the Staunton Police Department responded to 1638 Buick Street shortly before midnight, where they found a group of people in the front yard.
Wintesses said there was a small gathering at the house, and that one of the people attending became unruly. When the man, 20-year-old Brandon X. Scott, of Staunton, was physically removed from the home, he began shouting at a small group of people still inside the residence, police said, challenging them ...

I made a few tweaks so will probably revert back to the way it was. It seems to block 1 out of 20 legit people from registering and I then have to set them up manually, but if it's letting a lot of spammers through then it's not worth the new setting. Thanks for the heads up

I have been in FT. HILLS , AZ since Jan. 7, 2015. I have requested a work order 3 times for testing my warifin at Sonoran Labs. I came here with an order that had a Sept.15 , 2015 date on it . I have requested 3 times for a new order and have not received one. I spent an hour at the lab today and could not wait any longer because of my schedule. I will not go for any blood testing while I am here in the coming months and will go to Barrett Drive when I return to Webster, NY in Mid MAY......... I am very upset and will not tolerate this kind of service.......... Get your act together. My attitude is bad, George W. Vargo
Dr.Torpey and staff have established a practice that is professional and medically up to date, while creating the feel of the an older style family practice, which is warm and welcoming. No sterile hospital type atmosphere, and you're definitely not just a number. Dr. Torpey is attentive, he takes the time to listen and discusses your concerns with you and never talks at you. I'm very pleased with the care I receive here.
Wonderful Doctor. Wants to know you as a person.

Newton Running has just signed on to be a sponsor of the Challenge Wanaka, an iron distance triathlon in Lake Wanaka on the South Island of New Zealand.
Challenge Wanaka bills itself as "The World's Most Scenic Long Distance Triathlon." That's a bold statement to be sure, but after checking the race website and the Lake Wanaka tourism bureau site, Sir Isaac thinks maybe he should travel to NZ to see for himself, especially as a new winter storm bears down on chilly Colorado.
Newton athletes Chris McDonald and Hilary Biscay both placed second in this race last year. I haven't heard if they're returning to the race this year, but if so, I'm putting my money on another double Newton victory at the Challenge Wanaka!

NEW YORK: An Indian physical therapy assistant in the US has pleaded guilty for his role in a $13.8 million healthcare fraud scheme and faces 10 years in prison.
Ankit Patel, 28, of Detroit pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud before US district judge Gerald Rosen of the Eastern District of Michigan.
Patel is scheduled to be sentenced in March 2013 and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
According to court documents, beginning in June 2009 Patel received payments for falsifying medical documentation for Physicians Choice Home Health Care, a home health agency owned by his alleged co-conspirators.
Another co-conspirator instructed Patel on how to falsify medical documentation.
He also signed therapy revisit notes as a physical therapy assistant for patients he did not see or treat.
Patel admitted to knowing that the documents he falsified and the documents he signed would be used to support false claims to federal insurance programme Medicare for home health services.
According to Patel's plea agreement, he was also paid to create and sign falsified medical documentation for other Detroit-area home healthcare companies that billed Medicare for approximately a million dollars.

Remember Me
Sydney-based writer Darryl Mason put up a blog post claiming AC/DC's
Malcolm Young suffered a stroke which left a blood clot on his brain. Mason claims that
after Malcolm was unable to perform at the level he previously played at when the band got
together earlier this month for rehearsals a decision was made to pull the plug and that
an announcement can come as soon as today. Meanwhile, The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that Malcolm Young returned to
Australia to be with his family.
So far there's been no official confirmation or denial of the rumors. AC/DC was formed in
1973 and is one of the top grossing acts in the history of rock. We hope we haven't seen
the last of the band.

Since I have installed Windows 10 Pro upgrade, I have had absolutely -0- issues with the OS or with any software compatibility issues. I am about a week in... so far so good:) Everything seems snappier to open and my machine does not seem to be taxed at all. I use LRCC 2015 and PSCC 2015 daily.
Fuji is a innovative company that also has the humility and customer appreciation to listen. Something Canon and Nikon quit doing long ago. I have my last Nikon DSLR shoot next Saturday, and then it goes on the block. This will be my next purchase without hesitation. It is what people like Zack Arias, David Hobby, and Trey Ratcliffe have already recognized. Bigger, heavier and more expensive, is not better (for many applications) any longer. Nikon and Canon are becoming dinosaurs and unless they change, are headed down the path toward extinction, (at least in market share.) Sony, Fuji, Panny and Oly are much more innovative these days.
One other big reason for my enthusiasm... it is about time that OOC jpegs are truly good enough to print high quality reproductions of what the camera has captured. Under difficult conditions, for post color conversion, cropping or pro level HDR, we still have the latitude to shoot raw, but less time in post and more time enjoying the art and freedom to shoot is so welcome. The jpegs these cameras produce are just stunning (as they SHOULD BE relative to the cost of any enthusiast level or pro level camera, by any brand) This has been sorely lacking until the last couple of years in digital technology. BRAVO FUJI !!!
This is great news. My TL500/EX1 is a fantastic camera and built like a tank. It rivaled the S95/100 G12, LX5 and Oly XZ1, except in the video dept. Now with an even faster lens, 1080p and 10mm more zoom I will order mine ASAA (available) As one reviewer said, The EX1 was highly under rated when compared to the ever popular Canon and Panasonic models, but it takes a backseat to none of these and now well... follow if you can!

Symptoms: Withdrawal
Withdrawal is the suffering caused by stopping the intake of foods, drugs and alcohol. Withdrawals from heroin and alcohol are notoriously difficult.
Food withdrawal is a real problem when you take a food holiday by fasting or following the phase 1 plan in the Alpha Nutrition Program. As soon as the intake of habitual foods stops, changes in all body systems begin to occur. Some patients report symptoms even within a few hours of not-eating a regular food. Coffee drinkers, for example are usually on an obligatory ingestion cycle and may get early withdrawal headaches and cravings within hours of missing regular coffee doses. Withdrawal symptoms tend to build in the first day, reaching their peak by day 3, although in some people the onset of the main withdrawal symptoms is delayed several days.
An optimistic prediction is that even people who have been chronically ill will experience a dramatic remission of symptoms within the first 10 days on phase 1. However, the first 10 to 20 days of clearing can be a bumpy ride. Patients routinely describe acute, distressing withdrawal symptoms. Clearing on Alpha ENF is the most abrupt but definitive method of clearing.
The most common withdrawal symptoms are:
Any pre-existing symptom may increase or recur during withdrawal. Increased pain levels are very distressing. Muscle and joint pains tend to flare along with headache. Abdominal pains may increase or recur for several days, sometimes of a crampy nature, associated with nausea but seldom vomiting. A remarkable withdrawal pain occurs in the low back and often radiates into the buttocks and back of the legs. This back pain may have an aching-burning quality and can be severe enough to keep you in bed for 2-3 days.
Other common symptoms include nose congestion, sore throat, drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aching, cramps, and insomnia. Some patients become very emotional, either feeling depressed, tearful and withdrawn, or rage with unexpected passion. Food cravings may be intense and difficult to resist. The symptoms of food withdrawal resemble the withdrawal from narcotic drugs or alcohol.
After the initial disturbances settle, long-standing symptoms should subside and hopefully disappear. A state of relative well-being is eventually established. The initial withdrawal disturbances may subside after several days and then recur a few days later. We call this the "bouncing ball path". Sometimes symptoms flare and subside several times over the first 20 days, but, like bouncing balls, the intensity and duration of the flaring symptoms gets less with each bounce.

Food-Related Symptoms
We recognize three basic truths
First: Most of the diseases that lead to premature disability and death are caused by eating too much of the wrong food and exercising too little.
The second truth is that normal is not normal: The foods implicated in causing illnesses are common foods that almost everyone eats. To become a healthy person you have to redefine normal food.
The third truth is that each person is responsible for their own health. Rather than waiting for the next "miracle cure" for high blood pressure or diabetes 2, for example, responsible people get busy and fix the problem for themselves.

Sharks' Alberts to undergo surgeryComment on this story
DURBAN - Sharks loose forward Willem Alberts will miss the start of the Super Rugby season after his franchise revealed that the South Africa international will undergo surgery on a shoulder injury on Tuesday.
Alberts will be out for at least four weeks after what the Sharks described as a "small procedure" on an ongoing problem that has already kept him out of two pre-season friendlies.
He is one of five Sharks regulars who will miss Saturday's opening match away at the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein through injury, officials said.
The 27-year-old Alberts has played in the last nine internationals for South Africa and has 20 test caps in total. – Reuters

Once I understood LR, I found it simply more rational in it's approach, and easier and faster to do the things I typically need or want to do.
But if you're used to how PS works, switching to LR can be a challenge. I highly recommend the Scott Kelby book as a good way to make the segue.

I've told myself to stop using "equivalent" focal lengths on m43. 25mm is what it is, and what it might be similar to on some other format doesn't matter to me any more. We need to learn what to expect from our current equipment, not keep mapping it to the old. No one refers to their 50mm FF lens as "equivalent to 80mm on MF."

China Car Service EHi Said to Hire Goldman, Barclays for IPO
EHi Car Rental, a vehicle-sharing network in China part-owned by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., hired Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays Plc for its U.S. initial public offering, said two people with knowledge of the plan.
The company, based in Shanghai, also chose Goldman Sachs to work on the IPO, which may raise $150 million, said the people, who declined to be identified as the process is private. The sale could occur as early as this year, they said.
Car rental service providers like Ehi and China Auto Rental Inc. are seeking money to invest on expanding their fleets and operation to cover more areas in the country. China's rental car market is expected to rise by about 25 percent annually by 2015, according to estimates on the website of Roland Berger AG, a management consulting firm.
China Auto Rental, the country's largest, said last month it's seeking as much as $300 million in a U.S. initial public offering. Rising demand from companies and individuals for rental cars has lured investors including Goldman and Lenovo Holdings Ltd., which bought a stake in China Auto Rental in 2010.
EHi, founded in 2006, serves more than 50 Chinese cities, allowing people to drive themselves or rent chauffeured vehicles, according to its website. The company compares itself on the site to Zipcar Inc., the U.S. car-sharing service that completed an IPO last year. Zipcar, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has dropped 14 percent to $15.50 a share as of yesterday in New York trading, from the $18 a share IPO price.
Goldman Sachs, based in New York, agreed in August 2010 to lead an investment of $70 million in EHi, alongside Qiming Venture Partners, CDH Ventures, Ignition Capital, JAFCO Asia and New Access Capital, according to a statement from EHi then.
EHi's spokesman in Shanghai didn't immediately return a call seeking comment. Spokesmen for Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Barclays declined to comment.

Fleming Q&A's Matt Damon/John Krasinski: 'Promised Land'; A Bat Stamp On 'Bourne 4'; Ending 'The Office'; Cheating On Affleck
Fleming Q&A's Matt Damon/John Krasinski: 'Promised Land'; A Bat Stamp On 'Bourne 4'; Ending 'The Office'; Cheating On Affleck
EXCLUSIVE: Even before Focus Features made Promised Land a late Oscar entry, the film's writer-stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski came under fire from the energy industry. Their film deals with "fracking," which mixes chemicals, sand, water and drilling to loosen underground shale deposits to harvest natural energy. Damon and Fran McDormand play gas company reps using the lure of potential riches to convince struggling farmers to allow fracking on their lands, despite the risks for their crops and livestock. Krasinski plays a grassroots activist fighting the reps as the town prepares to vote. Promised Land reunites Damon with Gus Van Sant, who directed Good Will Hunting, which brought Oscars and fame to Boston neophyte scribes Damon and Ben Affleck. Damon and Krasinski are fun guys, the type who'd be a blast to invite over to watch football…as long as you aren't a fan of the New York Giants and the two Super Bowls they won over the New England Patriots.
DEADLINE: Matt, you've said recently that the Bourne Legacy spinoff didn't make it any easier for Jason Bourne to return. What has to happen for us to see your signature character back onscreen?
Fleming Q&A's Matt Damon/John Krasinski: 'Promised Land'; A Bat Stamp On 'Bourne 4'; Ending 'The Office'; Cheating On Affleck
DAMON: Just a couple things, really. Paul Greengrass has to want to do it, and secondly and equally important, it comes down to Paul and I knowing what the hell we want to do. We just don't have a story, and we haven't had one. I quietly went to Jonah Nolan, because he and his brother Chris did such a brilliant job on Batman and that whole mythology. I just said, can you put your brain on this? I can't figure it out. And he took a run at it and he couldn't crack it either. Paul and I have been talking about it for years. And we can't quite see what the movie would be. If we could get line of sight on that…
DEADLINE: We are force-fed so many unnecessary sequels, and here is a smart thriller that we actually want to see more of…
DAMON: Neither of us is against it. I would love to do another one. I love that character. To me, the reason to make that movie is because people want to see it. Paul and I have said that to each other. We don't take for granted the fact that we've built an audience for Bourne, that's a real privilege. But our part of that bargain is that the movie is good and belongs with the other three. Until we can deliver that, we just can't make it.
