OOH Media Formats
> Posters
Posters are located chiefly in commercial and industrial areas on major local roads. They are viewed principally by people in automobiles or pedestrians and deliver exposure to residents and to commuter traffic.
Primary Uses
This format is often used as a full market coverage medium for reach and frequency. Packaged buys can be tailored for specific marketing goals: supermarket coverage, ethnic targeting, focus on certain geographic areas, etc.
Posters can be found in virtually all markets (cities/towns) except those in Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont.
Research/Market Information
TAB OOH Ratings are the official measurement system. Reach and frequency can be calculated using several accepted media software programs.
Method of Purchase
Posters are purchased in GRP programs of different weights, typically in four to 52-week units, depending on campaign objectives.
Overall Size
The total area for posters is 125" x 272".
Efficient creative design is critical for visual impact. A simple design with few words provides the best impact for reaching the targeted audience.
Lightweight and recyclable PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) thermo-plastic materials, and sometimes lightweight PVC, are installed as single sheet posters onto structures without the use of adhesive paste. Posters made from these materials are available from many printers. Single sheet posters provide a seamless appearance, prevent flagging, and reduce weather delays when posting campaigns.
In some markets, paper posters are still accepted.
Installation Systems
Single sheet posters are mounted using various cable and clip installation systems. Confirm which installation systems are used by individual OOH media companies.
Exposure Time
Panels should be reposted every 60-90 days.
Finished art should be scaled 1" to 1'.
Deliver posters to out of home companies 10 working days prior to posting date.

author of The House on Moon Lake
Joseph Olshan has always written powerful narratives of contemporary life, but he has greatly extended his range in Vanitas. His latest book is a skillful weave of unconventional relationships, which have become more and more common in our times but are only now beginning to be written about. And yet every single page of his new work evinces the concerns of love and beauty, of raising a family, of death, and even eternity. This is a daring novel of an entirely new order.
Elizabeth Benedict
author of Slow Dancing and Safe Conduct
Vanitas is Olshan's most haunting, complex work to date.
Howard Frank Mosher
author of Stranger in the Kingdom and North Country: A Personal Journal
Joseph Olshan's Vanitas is a brilliant affirmation of the wonders and mysteries of love in the face of one of the most terrifying diseases in human history. Beautifully written, entirely honest, and unfailingly dramatic, Vanitas is the best novel to date by one of America's finest fiction writers.

Solutions for Chapter 9 Problem 9CYU
In-line subroutines are important in object-oriented languages
In in-line subroutine the compiler considers the definition of function at the time of declaration only.The benefits of it are- 1. Normally, when we make a function it has 2 parts – definition and calling of that method. So whenever we call a function, the compiler needs to go to the definition, which takes a little extra time. But in the inline functions, the compiler considers the definition of the method at the time of calling only, which saves time.

Louisville's storybook run continues with win over Cal
NEW ORLEANS Make that three straight upsets for Louisville, which used the latest thriller to head back to the women's national championship game for the first time since 2009.
Antonita Slaughter scored 18 points on six 3-pointers, and Louisville clawed back from a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat Cal, 64-57, in the national semifinals Sunday. Bria Smith scored 17 on 6 of 7 shooting for the Cardinals (29-8), who were a No. 5 seed and became the first team seeded lower than fourth to win a Final Four game.
The result ensures an all-Big East Conference final in the league's last season in its current form, with Louisville meeting Connecticut, which beat Notre Dame, on Tuesday night — one night after the Louisville men's team plays Michigan for the championship.
"Right now anything can happen," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "Why not us?"
Layshia Clarendon scored 17 for Cal (32-4), which had won the Spokane Region as a No. 2 seed.
Gennifer Brandon added 12 for the Golden Bears and Brittany Boyd added 10 points.
Louisville had to beat defending national champion Baylor and Southeastern Conference power Tennessee just to get to New Orleans.
"No one expects us to be here," Slaughter said. "No one expects us to be in the championship game. Just come together as a team and win as a team."
Shoni Schimmel, who had been one of the stars of the tournament, struggled early for Louisville, but finished with 10 points, including a clutch transition pull-up that gave Louisville a 57-54 lead with 2:06 left.
Connecticut 83, Notre Dame 65: Breanna Stewart put on quite a show to help the Huskies finally vanquish the Irish.
The stellar freshman scored a career-high 29 points to go with four blocks, leading Connecticut to a win over Notre Dame.
The Huskies will face Louisville in the championship game Tuesday night in an all-Big East final. UConn will be going for its eighth national championship to match Tennessee for the most in women's basketball history.
No team has dominated Geno Auriemma's Huskies the way the Irish had during the past few seasons.
UConn (34-4) had lost the previous two national semifinals to the Irish and dropped three thrilling games this season to their rival.
Stewart and her teammates wouldn't let it happen again, ending the brilliant career of Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins. She finished her last college game with 10 points, going just 3 for 15 from the field.
The Huskies built a 10-point halftime lead on the strength of their defense, and Notre Dame (35-2) could only get as close as six in the second half as its school record 30-game winning streak ended.

WASHINGTON - The deadline is midnight and, after looking at the pile of paperwork, instructions and forms, the panic starts. It's impossible to file that 2002 tax return on time.
Taxpayers who procrastinated and now find themselves up against Tuesday's filing deadline can get a four-month extension from the Internal Revenue Service by filing a one-page form, no questions asked.
But even those asking for an extension must pay their taxes by April 15 to avoid paying penalties.
Tax day is here
The U.S. Postal Service's main post office on Olympic Drive will stay open until midnight tonight for late-filing taxpayers.
Federal and state tax returns deposited in outside or indoor collection boxes by midnight will receive an April 15 postmark, Postmaster Deborah Phillips said.
The post office lobby will remain open until midnight as well, offering services such as stamp sales, Phillips said.
''My biggest piece of advice is that the extension is only an extension to file, not an extension to pay,'' said Evan Snapper, senior manager with personal financial counseling at Ernst & Young.
Taxpayers must make a good faith effort to estimate how much they owe when they use form No. 4868 to file for an extension, and they must pay 90 percent of their taxes owed for the year to avoid penalties.
Taking a wild guess at the tax bill and pleading ignorance later may cause the IRS to revoke the extension.
''It's not going to work, not on April 15,'' Snapper said.
Late filers can take some comfort in the fact that they are not alone. The Internal Revenue Service expects more than 8.5 million people to file for the automatic four-month extension. The number of people requesting more time has gradually crept up over the last two decades to more than 6 percent.
The extension can be filed the old-fashioned way, with a mad dash to the post office before midnight. It can also be filed over the phone by calling 1-888-796-1074, or electronically through computer software or a tax professional.
Tax preparers counsel those who procrastinate because they owe the IRS and cannot pay to file their return or an extension. The penalties for late filing can be much greater than the penalty for paying late payment of taxes.
Those who can't pay their entire tax bill have at least two options.
By filing another form - No. 9465 - taxpayers can set up an installment agreement and pay the taxes over time. The IRS has streamlined this process for those who owe less than $25,000 and can pay the entire amount within 5 years.
Jennifer MacMillan, a tax preparer in Santa Barbara, Calif., said people who can't change their procrastinating ways need to accept their nature and plan accordingly by blocking out the weekend before the April 15 deadline for tax work.
''I'd say those people are always going to be that way,'' MacMillan said. ''They're probably not going to change.''

Blankfein reveals Goldman focus on technology to offer 'low-cost' services
Goldman Sachs is increasingly focused on being a "low-cost provider" of services for securities trading, adapting technology and focusing on operational efficiency to maintain profit growth, chairman and chief executive Lloyd Blankfein told an audience of investors on Tuesday.
Speaking during a question-and-answer session at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banking and Financial Services conference in New York, Blankfein revealed that his firm will push more of its trading to electronic markets over time as equities, bonds and derivatives are increasingly transacted without direct human involvement.
Investment banks like Goldman Sachs can leverage their market share to make up for the virtual elimination in profit margins on trading of such financial instruments, he said. Despite reducing its overall headcount in recent years, the Wall Street bank has increased its hiring in technology by 6% since 2009, Blankfein said.
Separately, Goldman Sachs' asset management arm has revealed plans to wind down its 40-strong South Korean subsidiary, which oversees client assets worth $4bn across seven funds, over the next six months.
The move comes as the unit has posted five consecutive annual losses since launching operations in 2007 in Asia's third-biggest funds market.

Good 3.9 /5 from 117 reviews
Was nice for my needs. Pleased
We arrived at this hotel at about 6 pm on the 9th and had booked 2 rooms. we were given rooms 244 and 245. When we entered the rooms the A/C was not on and the rooms were very hot. The A/C did not work at all in room 244 at all while in 245 the A/C worked very low. The evening manager was not very concerned about the matter. On the 10th I tipped the housekeeper lady Vicky and told her to please make sure 244 A/C was fixed. When we returned to the room at 5.30pm the A/c was still weak but the a fan was placed in the room by the staff. Room 245 the light in the main room did not work and we had to call the staff to replace the bulb. The rooms were good for comfort - just wish the staff was more courteous and less indifferent. When we came to the room on the 10th evening the carpet in 245 below the A/c was wet and our bags got wet inside also!
The Alpha Hotel was perfect for our needs as we were wanting to stay in the Turreranong area. The hotel room was good size, the staff were friendly and the car park was close by. I would certainly stay at this hotel again.
Room was a great size and very clean. Wifi was very disappointing and had to go to reception a few times for them to reset it, very annoying!! Have stayed in a lot of hotels and this was the worst shower that we have ever had. Very touchy and poor water pressure. Also our room was close to the reception area and quite noisy .
I thank my lucky stars that I found the Alpha Hotel after having spent 2 x very unsatisfactory nights at a not so good hotel in Queanbeyan. I can thoroughly recommend the Alpha Hotel... Lovely comfortable rooms, great service, warm and welcoming staff, fabulous housekeeping.... rooms fresh and clean. Free Wifi, movie channels, good selection of food on Room Service menu, great location about 10 minutes easy drive to Canberra Hospital. Large shopping mall down the road. Value for money.

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Sondheim's 'Road Show' explores dark side of American dream
Chicago — "Sooner or later," Wilson Mizner says to his long-suffering brother, "we're bound to get it right."
Those are the closing words in Stephen Sondheim's"Road Show," and they've lingered in my mind since seeing Chicago Shakespeare Theater's excellent new production of this 100-minute, intermission-free chamber musical — probably because they so accurately foretell the end of the twisting, 14-year road traveled by Sondheim and John Weidman (book) in making it. »Read Full Article

Mega sovereign writeoff could work
A massive sovereign debt reduction is the right way to reduce the ridiculously high indebtedness of governments. The idea might sound crazy, but it makes economic sense, and could be done, albeit after some serious preparatory work.
Apple, banking and taxpayer subsidy
Why does Apple have such high profit? Why do banking systems have a tendency to fail? These seemingly unrelated questions have the same answer – taxpayers take a lot of the risk out of business activity.
Don't be afraid of deflation
Christine Lagarde says deflation is an "ogre which must be fought decisively." The managing director of the International Monetary Fund is merely dramatising the current conventional wisdom, but she is wrong.
Bitcoin repeats gold-standard errors
I cannot judge whether bitcoin represents a technological breakthrough, but I am confident that the pseudo-currency's popularity shows widespread economic amnesia. If bitcoin ever became a real currency, it would suffer from the crippling problems of the gold standard.
Madoff/subprime – spot the difference
Bernard Madoff still has some magic. The public finds anything connected to the fraudster's case fascinating, from a prison interview to JPMorgan's agreement last week to pay $2.3 billion for Madoff-related sins. And why not? Madoff was a grandmaster of the confidence trick. But there is more to it than that. His way of doing business was alarmingly close to the perfectly legal practices which brought down the financial system in 2008.
An early obituary for bitcoin
Bitcoin is not over yet. But the pseudo-currency is close enough to collapse to merit an early retrospective.
A Christmas message for lenders
For many shoppers, Christmas is a time to rack up debts in the expression of seasonal goodwill. For policymakers, it should be the holiday of debt forgiveness.
How not to do healthcare
Almost every healthcare system in the world is a lesson in how not to do it. The pricing-based model fails miserably in the United States. The rationing model works almost as badly in the UK. Both fail in the core task of ensuring that the right healthcare goes to the right people.
The pope takes on economics' pro-rich bias
The leading theories of economics and finance are usually produced for the rich. Pope Francis deserves praise for suggesting an economics for the poor.

BURLINGTON A Vermont firing range is telling the Burlington Police Department its officers are unwelcome to train after the City Council advanced a measure to ban semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines.
The Burlington Free Press reported that a letter from the board chairman of the Lamoille Valley Fish and Game Club says it can no longer support the city with such a prejudice against the club and a threat to constitutional freedoms. It has voted to suspend the citys use of its range for law enforcement.
The City Council voted earlier this month to craft the ban. It would have to go before voters and then legislators.
Burlington Police Chief Michael Schirling said the citys exclusion from the range likely would affect how and when officers train with firearms.MORE IN Vermont NewsRUTLAND The refugees are coming.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
It\'s a little hard to get used to looking at the shape in the lobe but i love that they are a little something different. Bought these in 5/8, fit is good and quality seems good. Felty a little bad telling people it was buffalo horn but too late for that i guess. I find they look best with a little tilt to them, straight vertical is a little odd looking i think.

The present picture is one of Wilson's most ambitious early Italian landscapes, painted three years after his arrival in Italy in 1750. It depicts one of the most celebrated views of Rome from the Janiculum Hill ('Mons Janiculus') in Trastevere. In the foreground is a classically dressed couple and, to the left, in shadows, a solitary cowherd. The prospect takes in the landscape to the north dominated, to the left of centre, by the Vatican, with the dome of St. Peter's and the Campagna beyond. On the horizon, to the right, is Mount Soracte.
The composition is carefully orchestrated according to the example of the seventeenth-century landscape painter Claude Lorrain (1600-82), both in terms of the tonal range - with marked juxtapositions of dark and light areas - and the arrangement of the foreground figures. It has also been suggested by David Solkin that Wilson was influenced by the Roman landscapes of Jan Frans van Bloemen ('l'Orizzonte') (1662-1749), 'many of whose works incorporate framing trees of different sizes on either side of a cluster of predominantly architectural motifs' (Solkin, p.186).
Wilson, possibly at the request of his patron, has taken particular care in the delineation of the antique sculpture in the painting's foreground, a relief representing two Maenads (female dancers associated with the cult of Dionysus) leading a bull to ritual slaughter. As Solkin has noted, Wilson probably copied the motif from a similar relief formerly in the Villa Medici and now in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.
Rome: St Peter's and the Vatican from the Janiculum was one of a pair of pictures of Rome commissioned from Richard Wilson by one of his most important patrons in Italy, William Legge, second Earl of Dartmouth (1731-1801). Its companion, Rome from the Villa Madama, now belongs to the Yale Centre for British Art, New Haven. Lord Dartmouth had arrived in Rome by January 1753. There, his agent, Thomas Jenkins (1722-98), encouraged him to patronise Wilson. In addition to the two major oil paintings, Lord Dartmouth commissioned Wilson to make a series of chalk landscape drawings, numbering about sixty-eight in total. Of these drawings twenty featured views in and around Rome (see Brinsley Ford, 'The Dartmouth Collection of Drawings by Richard Wilson', The Burlington Magazine, December 1948, pp.337-45). In the spring of 1753 Wilson also accompanied Lord Dartmouth to Naples, possibly acting as his guide.

Parker Jack Smith
July 29, 2015
7lbs. 5 oz.
19 inches long
But...on Wednesday morning I woke up just before 7:00. The boys weren't up yet, so I decided to try to go back to sleep. At 7:05 I felt a strange feeling and my water broke all of a sudden! It was so weird because it didn't happen that way with the boys and I'd given up hope it would this time. I ran to the bathroom and immediately called Mike. He had just gotten to the Springdale exit headed to work. I told him I wasn't hurting and we probably had plenty of time. He told me he may have driven just a little fast to get home though :) Then I called Mike's mom and my Mom to see who could get to me the fastest to be with the boys. It turned out that Mike got here so fast that my parents just headed to the hospital and Nikki came to stay with the boys. I showered, put make-up on, and gathered up a few last minute things. I came out to the livingroom to find Josey and Gavin snuggled up in the recliner waiting for me. I told them we were having a baby and they started screaming and cheering. Super sweet moment! Mike arrived and installed the carseat really quick. We headed to the hospital and it was a pretty interesting ride to say the least. I figured we had plenty of time, but got worried when a few contractions hit. When we got there Dad and Mike got me a wheelchair to get me inside. We got all checked in and I was dilated to about a 4. The doctor came in and said if I didn't start laboring on my own he would give me Pitocin at 11:00. Sure enough no contractions really, so they started inducing around 11:30. Candra and Alicia were in Butler, Missouri at our cousin's house, so when they got the call they left and made the trip home in about 2 and a half hours, exciting road trip for them! At about 1:20 I was starting to get more uncomfortable and the baby's heartrate started dropping with the contractions. It was scary because I was worried about baby boy. By 2:30 they had me on oxygen and inserted an internal monitor to watch the baby more closely. I knew he would be fine, but I was definitely more nervous than I had been in my previous deliveries. At 3:00 I was in a ton of pain but only dilated to a 7. My cervix wasn't wanting to dilate through the scar tissue. So painful! I abandoned my plan for a natural birth like I had with Josey and Gavin and asked for an epidural after the nurse checked me and tried to loosen the scar tissue...worst pain in my life probably! Getting the epidural was awful because I was already in so much pain. My doctor had to head over to Mercy hospital for a c-section and told us he'd be back in a hour and a half. I didn't think he would make it back! The epidural worked for about an hour or so then I was in extreme pain again...no idea why it didn't work! I may as well have not even had one because I was in just as much pain as natural childbirth. I just kept asking why I was feeling everything and what went wrong?! At 4:50pm I knew the baby was coming any minute and asked to push. The nurse let me push a little, but then told me to try to stop pushing. That's almost impossible! At 5:03 Dr. S ran in the door and tried to get gowned up. Everyone was helping him scramble to get his shoe covers on and he nearly fell over. Pretty funny after the fact :-) As the doctor put on his gloves I said I had no choice but to push. He said "go ahead" and sweet baby boy came right on out at 5:06 pm! So glad our doctor made it in time. He delivered all of our boys and has taken wonderful care of me for the last 8 years, so special.
The first thing I thought was that the baby was so tiny. I expected him to be bigger since I was 38 weeks and 6 days along. I also thought he was such a beautiful baby. Perfectly shaped head and just adorable! Mike and I were instantly in love of course! Mom and Laura stayed for the delivery and it was so great to have them by my side as well as Mike. Of course Mike was an amazing coach and kept me as calm as possible. He helped me to focus on the baby and gave me strength when I thought I just couldn't do it. I just held the baby and nursed him until all of our family came in to meet him. Such a joyous and special time!
We debated his name and finally decided on Parker Jack Smith around 11 pm that night. Everyone had left, so we text them to tell them his name. We had been tossing around the name Parker for a few months and Jack was my Dad's great-grandpa's name. I think it is perfect!
We are just so thankful for this sweet baby boy. I had to go through a lot of hurdles and discomfort during the pregnancy just like with Gavin, but it was all worth it because we were given this precious miracle. We love you Parker Jack!

Plan lengthens street repair timeline
MONTPELIER A proposal to deal with deteriorating streets in Montpelier could raise the tax rate a total of 10 cents over the next five years unless other cuts are made to the city budget.
At the City Council meeting Wednesday, Councilor Thierry Guerlain presented a report from the Capital Improvements Projects Committee with a recommendation on how to address the citys streets problem.
In September City Manager William Fraser told the council $7 million in repairs were needed following an assessment of the streets last summer. Fraser suggested bonding the $7 million in order to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Guerlain and other councilors are against bonding for streets, saying the problem will just return in a few years.
The committee that Guerlain, Councilors Andy Hooper, Angela Timpone were a part of came up with the idea of adding more money gradually into the capital improvements projects fund.
Fraser said Thursday the plan he will present to the council as part of the budget will call for increasing the fund $166,300, which will increase the tax rate two cents every year for the next five years unless cut are made elsewhere in the budget. He said that will bring the fund up from $1.5 million to $2.3 million, which should be enough to cover the repairs of the streets.
There are 56 miles of streets in Montpelier. The city is responsible for 44 miles of them, with the other 12 miles being state streets.
Guerlain said at the meeting Wednesday that a well-maintained street should have a life of 22 years. So his proposal is to repair the streets at a rate of two miles per year.
Fraser said Thursday that this plan is similar to one implemented by the council in the late-1990s. Taking a longer approach, as opposed to the quicker bond proposed by Fraser, would require making the worst streets the priority year over year.
It might take longer to get them all fixed, but it is smarter financially, Fraser said.
The money does not only go to streets; it also finances maintenance for sidewalks, retaining walls, parking lots, equipment such as vehicles, and drains and culverts for which the city is responsible.
While some councilors are opposed to bonding for streets, the commmittee proposal does call for some bonding. Projects such as replacing drains, culverts and retaining walls would be bonded for as those items typically have a 30- to 50-year lifespan, well past a typical 20-year bond. Keeping this bonding option open lowers the cost of the year-to-year maintenance for the cities infrastructure as the repairs for those projects would not be figured into the budget.
