The first time Andrew Keller interviewed at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, in 1996, Alex Bogusky didn't give him the gig.
"Alex used to have a trick interview question, which was basically, 'If you weren't doing advertising, what would you do?'" recalls Keller. "Your answer was supposed to be, 'There wouldn't be anything.' I fell for it the first time. I was like, 'I think I'd be in a band.'"
The second time around, in 1998, Keller got it right. "That question came floating by, and he was wise enough to avoid the trap," recalls Bogusky with a laugh.
Fast-forward to 2013, and the would-be rock star, who started as an art director, is marking his third anniversary as CEO of CP+B—helming an agency many times bigger than the one that initially rejected him.
CP+B has come a long way from the Bogusky era when the agency raked in accolades for flashy, high-wattage creative and landed trendy accounts like Volkswagen—but also developed a reputation as an often-puerile one-trick pony that couldn't consistently hit business high notes for its clients.
When Keller took the reins in October 2010, the career CP+B creative—who once led accounts like Volkswagen and Burger King—faced the unenviable task of steering a rapidly expanded, 1,000-person shop out from Bogusky's long shadow, amid the aftershocks of the recession and a rapidly shifting industry. More importantly, Keller needed to establish a new equilibrium, a pace that better suits marketers' needs, including strategically driven goals.
The 43-year-old has settled into the role. "I do want the job—I love the job," the CEO says. "It's taken a while to get there, partially because it's taken a while to understand the job."
The agency has taken its share of knocks during his tenure. Burger King, closely associated with the hard-hitting CP+B creative of yore, departed in 2011 after changing ownership. This past summer, Crispin lost another longtime, big-spending client in Old Navy, after surviving years of churn in the retailer's marketing ranks. Other, smaller pieces of business, including AmEx Open and Coke Zero, also have moved on. The agency suffered a painful talent drain, with veterans like former chief creative officer Jeff Benjamin bolting for JWT and a trio of top creative, tech and design execs—Dave Schiff, Scott Prindle and John Kieselhorst—peeling off to launch Made Movement, a Boulder, Colo.-based agency startup backed by Bogusky.
Since 2010, Crispin, which now has five offices, has seen its total head count shrink to around 700. "We've had to become so much leaner and more efficient than we've ever been, and those things are not creative words," says Keller. "It used to just be bodies on top of bodies of creative people, just going at everything, and the industry just doesn't support that anymore."
Adaptation under Keller's watch has spawned successes, too. CP+B is poised for its second-best business year ever—Adweek estimates it will generate $150 million in revenue in 2013. It has grown its relationship with cornerstone client Microsoft, adding work on the Bing search engine and Xbox console. The agency has also expanded its work with Kraft to seven brands, including Jell-O and A1. Last year, CP+B beat out three shops for Applebee's, which spent $152 million across media in 2012, per Kantar. And this year, it became lead agency for Charles Schwab, a $118 million annual media spender that's helped fuel the reboot of CP+B's Los Angeles office. Arby's and Fruit of the Loom also have arrived since Keller took over.
But its work for Domino's, a client since 2007, perhaps best tells the story of the agency's evolution. Few would mistake the suburban pizza chain for a sexy creative account. And yet the client's turnaround has become a textbook case of honesty in advertising. Domino's sales have climbed ever since it launched its transparency campaign in 2009, gaining 3 percent last year alone. "Domino's is the best example of what can happen when CP+B and a brand partner deliver on all channels," as Keller puts it.

When MMA's two biggest newsmakers (among the fighter population, anyway) collide, there are going to be a lot of column inches. A lot of slides, as well.
It's likely you've already digested a slide or column or three million about the UFC's decision to place Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen on opposite ends of some epic board game that winds through a season of The Ultimate Fighter and ends next April in the Octagon.
I'll spare you additional pontification on the rightness or wrongness of the overall decision, other than to say that the journey might be a lot more entertaining than the destination. Because don't kid yourself: As good as he is as a fighter and personality, Chael Sonnen does not stand any chance in a cage with Jones. None. He stands no chance. Why? Here are five reasons why.

AARP educates members about new health care law
People currently on Medicare will not need to sign up for exchanges, officials say
AARP used Tuesday's health care kickoff day to educate its members about what the new federal health care law would mean to them.
In a packed meeting Tuesday afternoon, AARP's advocacy director answered questions and gave basic information about how the Marketplace would work, including how to handle any delays like the glitches that were seen Tuesday.
"Today is just the first day of enrollment in the Health Insurance Marketplace. People will have two and a half months to get enrolled and get an application in to get covered for that coverage to start Jan. 1," said Lisa Lamkins, AARP advocacy director for federal issues.
AARP is also letting people currently on Medicare know that they will not need to sign up for the exchanges and their coverage should stay the same.

Hyperstar gives really an exciting shopping experience to its customers, but also gives an extra feature when foreigners come pushing their trolley carts to buy the best. The blondes, brunettes and what not can be seen in the rows of the aisle. They have 39 cash counters to control the traffic and 9 emergency exits on both floors in case of emergence. And there is the travellator to do the walking for you.
Good and Hygienic Environment
Helpers on every aisle
There is no map for the customers to locate which aisle is where.
The "change exchange" is a practise which is most eagerly followed by the cashiers if they dont have a change for Rs 1, 2 and 5. This occurs most of the time. This is somewhat disturbing because it is like to whip out every cent they can in exchange for a candy.
Prices are high for some items which could be bought from any local store for a cheap price
Hyperstar is definitely one of the most elegant, detailed and brilliant stores I've been to where you can find everything you need under one roof. Hyperstar is Pakistan's Largest Shopping Place which will soon be open in Karachi as well. The Good thing about this place is that there is no shopping limit and no Membership required to shop. Buy Even a Candy and you only pay for what you buy.Prices are higher than Makro but cheaper than Metro (In most cases)
Its located at Fortress, and is much easier access as compared to Metro & the parking & overall management seems to be way much better.Properly managed shelves unlike others & Out of Stock Items are mentioned clearly.
You can find lots of imported items here and I expect soon they will introduce their in-house Carrefour products as well.Fastest Checkout counters as compared to Makro and Metro make shopping a breeze.
You will find a huge crowd of people at Hypermart on weekends and less people out of them will be there actually for shopping and most of the people roam around just to have a look and that even is a pleasant thing to do at HyperStar.
Also most of the time there are a large number of promotions running than Makro and Metro so you can take advantage of them and buy stuff at cheaper rates.There is just one price for every product, no before and after tax confusions prevail.
No Minimum Quantity limits on most of the items
No Minimum Shopping Limit
No Membership Required
Great range of products
Great Parking & Management
Some Poor Quality Products
Lots of Chinese stuff rather than Good Quality stuff

Skip to comments.Man finds screwdriver impaled in head after looking in car mirror [w/video]
Posted on 03/09/2013 9:17:13 PM PST by Slings and Arrows
A man from Poland found a screwdriver impaled through his forehead but only after catching his reflection in his cars rear-view mirror.
The 25-year-old was doing some work in his garden when he lost his balance and landed on the Phillips tool.
However, he only noticed something was sticking out of his head when he looked in the mirror after the fall.
Rather than screaming in horror, though, the unnamed man calmly lit a cigarette before asking a neighbour to help him get to hospital.
I dont remember what happened that day, at some point when I was working in my garden I slipped and fell down, said the man, who didnt want to be identified.
Next thing I remember it was my hand hurting and some weird thing near my eyes.
The impact was so hard the screwdriver managed to penetrate five centimetres into the front of his head.
Luckily for him, the tool missed his brain and became lodged in the frontal lobe of his cranium.
Surgeons at University Hospital in Bialystok managed to get the screwdriver out after operating for three hours. Amazingly, the man is expected to make a full recovery.
I hate when that happens.
Whats the "point" of this thread?
Smoking is bad for you.
He just lit up a smoke.
"Suave! Damn he's one suave guy!" Frank Booth
Hey, you can't live between Germany and Russia for centuries without being hard headed folks....
I'd like to know what brand of cigarettes can calm you down with a screwdriver in your head!
Heroin 100's(TM).
Lucky Strike
I knew a guy who had a couple of screws loose but he didn`t have a garden.
Many years back the same thing happened to a guy named 'Phillips', hence the name...
Cue "Chariots of Fire" theme...
I don't want to think about what happened to Allen.
This is screwed up! Time for an attitude adjustment.
....and that is why you don't run with scissors.
I'm guessing this guy was 'hammered'.
And he didn't even get "nailed."
At first he ignored it because of the sticker on the mirror that read, 'objects stuck in your head in the mirror may be closer than they appear'.
The moral of this story is 'don't look in the rear view mirror!'
LOL, well it only took 3 posts for you to say that, but I knew someone would.
"Luckily for him, the tool missed his brain and became lodged in his frontal lobe"
This story reminds me of Keith Richards (Rolling Stone) falling out of a coconut tree a while back.
Lucky for him he landed on his head.
Report doesn't mention which side of the cranium the screwdriver came from. Better take an MRI to see if they missed something.
Journalism majors don't take too many anatomy classes.
So ,what procedure do Polish Hospitals have that requires a Screwdriver to be in direct contact with the Brain?
I thought 'Screw loose' was just a metaphor!
Dunno, but I'll bet it's mandatory under 0bamaCare.
Phillip needs to be more careful with his tool.
Not the first time a man's tool almost got him killed.
Yep, I'm always losing tools, too.
Next time I misplace something, such as my sawzall, I'm going to look in my car mirror in case it's stuck in my head.
So true. When the weather is bad we like to watch the Investigation Discovery channel. Tools get fellers killed on there all the time.
The old story of Phineas Gage (who had a crowbar blown through his head) shows that massive head damage doesn't even necessarily result in loss of consciousness.
Talk about being screwed. I'd still rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. If he'd kept going, he would have gotten the full Rose Marie Kennedy.
About 25 years ago I actually had something similar happen to me, but on a smaller scale.
I was cleaning rust off of a metal part with a wire wheel on a bench grinder. I felt something hit me in the forehead and I stopped momentarily to look in a mirror, but I couldn't see anything. A week later I developed a a pimple-like bump that started to itch. Another 2 weeks went by before it started looking worse. That's when I went to a doctor. At first he though it was a small boil and tried to lance it, That's when we discovered something hard and metallic in the center. He gave up trying to use tweezers and grabbed onto the end of the metal with a pair of needlenose pliers. What came out was a 2 inch long wire that had come loose from the wire wheel.
So then the frontal lobe is not part of the "brain" there in Poland???
You can dig 5 centimeters in and not find any brain matter???
The point of this thread is that if you drink too much Vodka you will not feel a screwdriver going through your forehead. Don't be that guy.
See post #30.
Nor do Polish drinkers,
It's the other end where the screwing is supposed to take place.
Important safety tip, that.
The song for that movie was the worst earworm ever!
It also would have been appropriate for Run, Forrest, run!.

Anger continued to grow today at news ministers want to cancel a one per cent pay rise to NHS staff.
Instead of using the money for pay increases, the government wants to spend the money on modernising pay structures.
In a submission to the NHS pay review body, the Department of Health (DoH) said the NHS was facing the biggest financial challenge in its history.
But further talk of crisis was not enough to silence unions, who said even talk of a pay freeze would demoralise staff.

"Hypersensitivity to milk is implicated as a cause of sudden death in infancy."
~The Lancet, vol. 2, 7160, November 19, 1960
"Those who consumed cows milk were fourteen times more likely to die from diarrhea-related complications and four times more likely to die of pneumonia than were breast-fed babies. Intolerance and allergy to cow's milk products is a factor in sudden infant death syndrome."
~The Lancet, vol. 344, November 5, 1994
"Those infants who died of SIDS expressed inappropriate or inflammatory responses suggesting violent allergic reactions to a foreign protein. Lung tissue and cells showed responses similar to bronchial wall inflammation in asthma."

Wild horse round-up will attempt to reduce two herds
Rock Springs, Wy – The Bureau of Land Management is set to round up wild horses in Sweetwater County next week. The agency will remove many of those horses in an attempt to reduce the size of two herds by more than 60 percent. The B-L-M last gathered horses from the Adobe Town and Salt Wells herds four years ago. B-L-M officials say that, since then, the size of the herds has grown to more than 2400 horses. Spokeswoman Sarah Beckwith says the round-up could take as long as six weeks.
"They will be sorted by sex and age. Some of the females will then be treated with the fertility control. About 100 mares we're expecting to treat with fertility control. And then those mares will be returned to the range."
Most of the horses the B-L-M gathers will be taken to a facility in Colorado, or another near Rock Springs, where they will be prepared for adoption.

What an awful nag of a wife! That\'s where all the trouble started!

A 67-year-old man with carcinoid heart disease presented for patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and tricuspid valve (TV) replacement for severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The patient was referred for surgery with progressive dyspnea and signs of right ventricle (RV) dysfunction. The patient's consent for the case report was obtained.
Preoperative transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed normal left ventricular function, enlarged RV with severely decreased function, and severe TR. Preoperative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed a moderately dilated RV, thickened anterior tricuspid leaflet with frozen posterior leaflet resulting in malcoaptation and severe TR, and PFO. Although not well vizualized, the pulmonic valve (PV) was reported to be grossly normal. Pulmonary artery pressures were reported as normal (24/10 mm Hg).
Baseline intraoperative TEE revealed normal left ventricle size and function and hypertrophied and dilated RV with mildly decreased function. TV leaflets were thickened and tethered open (Video 1, see Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/AA/A492), resulting in 4+ TR with systolic reversal of hepatic vein flow. Three-dimensional TEE showed thickened, immobile TV leaflets with no central coaptation (Video 2, see Supplemental Digital Content 2, http://links.lww.com/AA/A493). The PV leaflets were difficult to see, but at least 2 appeared to be thickened and retracted. Severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) was seen with color flow Doppler (CFD; Video 3, see Supplemental Digital Content 3, http://links.lww.com/AA/A494). Pulsed wave Doppler (PWD) across the PV showed a dense diastolic PR wave with rapid deceleration to zero before the onset of systole (Fig. 1). A PFO with a small left-to-right shunt was seen with CFD.
Given the new finding of severe PR, the patient underwent TV replacement, PV replacement, and PFO closure. Postcardiopulmonary bypass TEE showed a well-seated bioprosthetic TV and PV with good leaflet motion. Continuous wave Doppler (CWD) across the PV prosthesis showed a peak velocity of 150 cm/s, consistent with a prosthetic valve, but the diastolic PR wave below the baseline was gone (Fig. 2). A mirror image artifact of the systolic wave was noted below the baseline. PV pathology revealed proliferation of myointimal cells on intact, tan rubbery valvular tissue consistent with carcinoid plaque. The patient's postoperative course was unremarkable.
Carcinoid heart disease occurs in more than 50% of patients with carcinoid tumors.1 Enterochromaffin cell-derived neuroendocrine tumors metastasize to the liver and secrete serotonin, which travels to the right heart causing deposits of fibrous material on valves.1 Left-sided valvular involvement is rare, and it is postulated that serotonin is inactivated in the pulmonary circulation.2,3 The presence of a PFO could lead to left-sided pathology2–4 and was therefore surgically closed in our patient. The fibrous plaque deposition causes valves and tendinous cords to thicken and shorten.4 The thickened valves are often retracted and immobile, resulting in regurgitation and stenosis. TR is most common (97%) followed by tricuspid stenosis (59%), PR (50%), and pulmonary stenosis (25%).2
Others have reported TV involvement in carcinoid heart disease.3,5 We report a classic case of carcinoid heart disease in which both the TV and PV had become retracted and immobile resulting in regurgitation. Although our patient had preoperative TTE and TEE, PR had not been diagnosed before surgery. A careful intraoperative examination of all valves should be performed, especially in patients with carcinoid disease. Assessment of the PR severity is less validated than other valvular lesions, because it is uncommon.6 Using different modalities for evaluation is recommended.6,7 Structural abnormalities of the PV should be identified when possible. However, PV can be challenging to visualize,7 and usually only 1 or 2 of the 3 leaflets can be seen.6 In addition, because of its anterior location, the PV is more difficult to evaluate with TEE than TTE. Although the use of 3-dimensional TEE is not validated for examining PV pathology, it allows visualization of the 3 leaflets from a modified midesophageal long-axis view of the aorta, bringing the PV into view.8 Presence of PR can be detected by CFD, and severity of the regurgitation can be estimated by the jet's duration and width relative to the RV outflow track.6 The jet width is measured in diastole, immediately below the PV6 in the midesophageal ascending aorta short-axis or upper esophageal aortic arch short-axis views with Nyquist limits set at 50 cm/s to 60 cm/s.6 A PR jet occupying more than 65% of RV outflow tract width is suggestive of severe PR.6 Jet density on CWD or PWD is a qualitative measure of severity and is proportional to the number of red cells involved in the regurgitation jet.6,7 The rate of deceleration of the regurgitant jet can be measured in CWD or PWD as the time from peak velocity to baseline; a rapid deceleration rate and hence a shorter jet duration, can be seen in severe PR;6 however, the rate of deceleration can be affected by filling and RV pressures,7 leading to earlier equalization of pressures between the pulmonary artery and RV. A dilated RV is not specific for severe PR; however, a normal size RV usually excludes it.6 Other quantitative measures of severity of regurgitation such as vena contracta and regurgitant fraction can be challenging to obtain and lack validation.6,7 Table 1 summarizes the echocardiographic findings in severe PR. In our patient, structural abnormality, a PR jet occupying the width of the RV outflow tract by CFD, a dense PR wave on PWD that approched zero velocity before systole (Fig. 1), and a dilated RV in the absence of pulmonary hypertension, were indicative of severe PR. The concomittant diagnosis of carcinoid with the newly identified pathology on TEE dramatically altered surgical management.

* Carcinoid tumors secrete serotonin resulting in fibrin deposition with leaflet thickening and retraction, usually restricted to the tricuspid or pulmonic valves. The left-sided cardiac valves are not affected, unless a right-to-left communication is present, as serotonin is inactivated in the pulmonary circulation.
* The immobile valve leaflets cause stenosis and regurgitation of the affected valve. The tricuspid valve is more commonly affected than the pulmonary valve. Eventually, the right ventricle may dilate with impaired function.
* In this case of a patient with carcinoid-induced pulmonic regurgitation, intraoperative 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) examination revealed thickened and retracted leaflets (midesophageal [ME] ascending aorta short-axix [SAX]). Severe regurgitation was diagnosed based on qualitative characteristics of the pulmonary regurgitation jet with a wide neck (color Doppler) and dense diastolic spectral envelope with rapid deceleration to baseline (continuous wave Doppler). The right ventricle was enlarged and hypocontractile.
* A careful examination of all cardiac valves should be performed in patients with carcinoid disease. The anterior location of the pulmonic valve usually results in superior imaging with transthoracic echocardiography. However, 3D TEE may facilitate imaging of all leaflets (modified ME ascending aorta SAX). Associated findings, such as a normal size right ventricle, may be helpful in excluding pulmonic valve involvement

Palin Not Running
October 5, 2011
Wasilla, Alaska
After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation's governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the "fundamental transformation" of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.
From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back – and as I've always said, one doesn't need a title to help do it.
I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.
Those will be our priorities so Americans can be confident that a smaller, smarter government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people can better serve this most exceptional nation.
In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.
Thank you again for all your support. Let's unite to restore this country!
God bless America.
– Sarah Palin
Considering what Palin and her family have been put through by the truly deranged Palin haters, I cannot fault her decision. Who does this benefit? Unless Perry can regain his footing, and I am beginning to think that his campaign may be imploding, it benefits Cain and possibly Santorum. This race is going to come down to Romney v. a conservative, and the question is who that conservative will be. All the conservatives will now start angling for Palin's endorsement.
14 Responses to Palin Not Running
Of course, there's always the chance she may be asked to run for VP with the
next Republican nominee…
This is a wise decision on Palin's part. She knows exactly where her talents can best be used at this time: helping elect "other true public servants" and "driving the discussion for freedom and free markets." If she should obtain a Cabinet post or other high level appointment in the next GOP administration, she may be in a position to more credibly run for president again. Or she may just decide that what she's doing now is exactly what she's called to do. In either case, I wish her and her family the best.
I part ways with many conservatives on this subject. Palin is woefully underqualified for the presidency. The Republicans dodged a bullet today. She could have only made things worse in the primaries, and never could have won a general election.
Governor Palin would have whipped Obama . . .
Wise move. Of all the Repubs, only Romney has a chance of beating Obama, according to most polls.
Has anyone else noticed that the same people who got most of what they know about the Catholic Church from Monty Python skits got most of what they know about Sarah Palin from Tina Fey SNL skits?
Here's another frightening thought: those people are allowed to vote.
only Romney has a chance of beating Obama, according to most polls.
I take it you missed the survey which placed the President in a statistical tie with Ron Paul and the one that put him just ahead of Herman Cain.
For the layman who lacks the skill of statistical modeling of political phenomena, there is the Gallup organization's jim dandy historical statistics. There have been several occasions over the last 60 years where an incumbent President was regarded as disapprovingly as the current incumbent within a year of having to stand for election: in the spring of 1948, in the fall of 1951 and thereafter, in the fall of 1967 and thereafter, in the fall of 1979 and thereafter, and in the spring of 1992. Between the last quarter of 1947 and the last quarter of 1948 domestic product grew by 5.8%, which is not going to happen over the next 13 months. The President's campaign team needs to brainstorm about how to arrange for the Republican nominee to be caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
Palin is woefully underqualified for the presidency.
No, merely underqualified. 'Woefully underqualified' is properly reserved for candidates who have never supervised aught but a few dozen staff devoted to their welfare and never distinguished themselves in a legislative body as a caucus leader or policy maven (Obama, Mrs. Clinton, Edwards, Kerry, and Buchanan would be examples from past years).
Art, in a country that's 66% white, can we do no better than Obama vs. Cain? What's telling about the sad state of politics in this country is the total lack of quality candidates in both major parties. Christie was really scraping the bottle of the barrel and Palin was never taken seriously by many. Trump and Giuliani are more interested in making more millions, and the current GOP crop are about as exciting as a Wagner opera. Most on this forum are counting Obama out in 2012, but even McCain, who lost big, is beginning to look good by comparison with the Repub duds out there. Is there not at least one credible Reaganesque conservative to fill the void?
1. Your 1st sentence is completely non sequitur.
2. McCain lost by a common-and-garden margin, no worse. Obama's margin was abnormally large for a Democrat standing de novo. Had the banking crisis erupted six weeks later (or, perhaps, six weeks earlier) it would not have been.
3. I think there has been a secular decline in the quality of the candidates, but its manifestation is not local to this year's race. (Complaints are a constant as well). Actually, Gov. Romney is a quite able man; regrettably, he has been playing the weathervane for 17 years. My remarks and yours had nothing to do with that, however. They concerned speculation about what was likely to happen. If B.O. were returned to office under the circumstances we now face, it would be a break with precedent.
Art – Yeah, I thought that I'd deleted the word "woefully" before posting that comment.
To be honest, I'm at the point where I don't think I could vote for anyone with less than eight years high-level experience. Palin, Bachmann, and Cain are off the list for me. Even Romney's iffy (with regard to experience).

Bomb trajectory simulation
The physics behind the Stromboli bomb trajectory program
The program calculates trajectories step by step as a ballistic flight. If the check box "include air resistance" is ticked, it also takes into account air resistance (Fa):
Fa = 0.5 * c * d * v2 * A
c = resistance parameter, depending on the object shape
d = air density
v = velocity
A = cross section area of the bomb.
The bomb continues to fly over a given landscape profile until it hits the ground or the sea. The program is based on the simplifying assumption that the bomb travels through stationary air as soon as it leaves the crater.
The air density d is variable and is calculated as:
d = 1.2255 * ( 1 - ( 0.00651 / 288) * h )4.255
h = altitude above sea level
assuming a temperature of 15°C at sea level.

Things That Santa Does That Would Be Weird If You Did [VIDEO]

In addition to these things, think about this:
- He requires that his staff be 'little people'
- He's constantly eating cookies that he finds just laying out in strangers' houses
- He wears a full red suit…like all the time
- His laugh is a bit suspicious…just try going all day laughing 'HO, HO ,HO' instead of 'HAHAHA'

The Sikeston City Council special meeting on Monday brought questions and comment regarding the Sikeston Humane Society and the overpopulation of strays in the city. Councilman John Gilmore tells KZIM-KSIM that other communities have mandatory spay and neuter ordinances, and the council is examining some of those to see what kind of successes and failures they have had with them. Gilmore says that the Council members are in agreement in their support of the Humane Society and are looking for their guidance in any action taken. He says the council is simply "exploring their options, and nothing is in place." Director of Governmental Services Linda Lowes tells KZIM-KSIM that the City of Sikeston has a contract with the Humane Society to handle their strays, as they do not have an animal control officer on staff. The next scheduled meeting to discuss the issue is August 26th.

19th Dynasty
Nefertari was the wife of Ramesses II and is sometimes called Nefertari-Mery-Mut. She is shown on a stela that dates to the first years of Ramesses reign. It is believed that she was the daughter of Bakenkhons who was a prominent official. She held the position of great wife or consort. The mayor of Thebes at that time was her brother, Amenmose. She had two sons, Prince Prehirwonmef and Prince Amonhirwonmef. Princess Mertatum and Princess Merytamon were her daughters. Her tomb that was found in the Valley of the Queens, is one of the most beautiful and largest ever found. There was a temple built at Abu Simbel that was dedicated to both Nefertari and to the goddess Hathor. She disappeared from any further mention after the dedication of the temple. It is not known whether she died or retired to the harem complex at Fayoum.

Not the Same
Despite sharing a fondness for funky grooves, hard drumbeats and covers of pop tunes, the Benny Lackner Trio differs markedly from the Bad Plus: Where the BP goes for the jugular on its recordings, the Lacknerites keep it understated on Not the Same (Nagel-Heyer). We see this on "Will It Matter," the album's second track (right after the "99 Luftballons" cover), on which Lackner gives us a lilting piano melody that stays in a straight jazz idiom, with extraordinarily deft counterpoint from bassist Derek Nievergelt and subtle brushwork from drummer Robert Perkins. Hendrix's "If Six Were Nine" gets suitably rockish twangs and overtones from Lackner's vast array of electric keyboards, and Nievergelt and Perkins crank up rubbery low tones and drum-and-bass percussion under Mingus' "Moanin'," but in both cases the effect is subtle revelation rather than total demolition. Funkier originals like "Red Hook" supply supple, seductive grooves. And despite the jam-band feel of some songs, not one track on Not the Same runs longer than it absolutely has to-a rarity for any jazz album.

Richard and Eleanor Imai Shin Buddhist Scholarship
The Richard and Eleanor Imai Shin Buddhist Scholarship recently announced the winners for the 2014 scholarship. Each year awards of at least $2,000 are made. This year three winners were named: Cathryn Cantyne, $2,167, Jennifer Taniguchi, $2,167, and Coran Yamamoto, $2,166. Awardees had to be a 2014 graduate of a high school on Hawaii Island. Evaluations were based on the candidates knowledge of Shin Buddhism, temple activities, scholastic record, school and community activities, and recognition of honors and awards.
Cathryn Cantyne is a graduate of Hawaii Preparatory Academy and is the daughter of Susan and James Cantyne of Waimea. The Cantyne family belongs to the Kamuela Hongwanji Mission. She has yet to finalize her future studies to become a nurse, but will study at either: Wagner College, Seattle University, or the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Jennifer Taniguchi is the daughter of Arthur and Barbara Taniguchi of Hilo. The Taniguchi's are members of the Honpa Hongwanji Hilo Betsuin. She is a graduate of Waiakea High School and will attend Creighton University this fall to study accounting.
Coran Yamamoto is a graduate of Konawaena High School and will attend Pacific University this fall to study kinesiology. Yamamoto and his parents, Chad and Carol Yamamoto of Kealakekua, attend Kona Hongwanji Mission.
Davis awarded bachelor's degree
Janalee Kaulana Salvador Davis has graduated from the University of Phoenix with a bachelor's degree in small business management and entrepreneurship. She has begun the master's program in human resources at the university.
Davis, a 2005 graduate of Kealakehe High School, is the daughter of Alfredo Salvador of Kohala and Suzette Neula, John Kaluna of Waikoloa. She is married to Kalena Davis and they have three children.
Wall selected for internship
Anuhea Wall of Kealakeku has been selected for an internship at Youth Villages, a private nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children and families live successfully.
Youth Villages provides a variety of programs to help children who may have suffered abuse or neglect, or who may have emotional and behavioral issues. Wall is interning at Youth Villages' Dogwood Campus just outside of Memphis, Tenn., helping girls in residential treatment learn more positive behavior patterns and deal with past trauma.
Wall is a senior at Pacific University. She is majoring in psychology and plans to become a social worker. Wall is a graduate of Konawaena High School.
Aguirre awarded Fries scholarship

February Data is LIVE at Compete
Image from: flower delivery / Shutterstock
The fastest growing sites in February were again heavily populated with financial services sites due to tax season, but there were some key differences from last month. Likely because of Valentine's Day, two flower sites made it onto the Fast Movers list. Additionally, Nascar.com cracked the top ten growers probably because of the Daytona 500 that happened in February.
Investigating the growth of these sites further with Compete PRO we can see that dailyRX.com received nearly 28% of their traffic from YouTube in February, likely because of the popularity of their dailyRX TV video series. Judging by the search referrals to IRS.gov, people seem to be getting their taxes done early this year with eight of the top twenty keywords related to finding details about refund status, accounting for almost 15% of their traffic from search referrals.

that looks nice
Major-Caligari 21 February 2014 14:01
I love the Rushu plushie, it's suitable for any Brakmarian patriot's haven bag, and it's really nice to see a haven bag kit which actually looks decent. However, I have a question: is it a mistake that we aren't able to buy the Shushuper Plant decoration, while it's available in the Wakfu Asia cash shop? No hard feelings, but I want to have a complete collection of potted plants and I wanted to make sure.

She told a story every night. She had to. If she didn't, she was done for. Stories of adventure, love, comedy, magic, horror, suspense– and ultimately, fate and destiny itself. Every subject available to describe our veiled existence on this rock presented in magical detail. She mastered the craft of manipulative storytelling; cliffhangers driving an irresistible suspense-filled desire to hear the next tale.
She had to keep going, good or bad, because if she didn't, she was done for.
The King, the poor King, fooled into prolonging her existence. Allowing her to continue weaving tale after tale, good, bad, ugly– it doesn't matter. As long as she keeps going, and we fall for her storytelling trickery hook, line and sinker. Sequels, prequels, re-tellings, foreshadowing, tune in next time.
They have to keep showing you those shows, you know.
Because if they don't, they are done for.

1393: Rural Energy in Europe
This paper is taken from a report by the Dutch consultancy Ecofys 'Rural energy in Europe Rural energy in Europe – country studies for France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the UK'
Year of Publication2011
Rural areas have a significant role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the five countries studied, there are an estimated 26 million households in rural areas which emit about 27 Mt CO2-eq from coal and heating oil. In the service sector, rural emissions amount to 8.3 Mt CO2-eq. Together these emissions equal the greenhouse gas emissions from 3,500 small towns (10,000 inhabitants). Specific policies aimed at energy use in rural areas could bring environmental and economic benefits and additional attention should be given to areas with low economic activity and to the agricultural sector.

Moseyed over to the craps tables and the ladies were still playing. After starting with $5,000 in play money, they had dropped down to about $800 each. But there were raffle tickets to be drawn later, so they kept playing until winners were announced. Among the prizes were autographed poker table tops and a gift basket of recipies and food. Ok, back to some more mingling.

What Else Didn't Obama Realize?
He didn't realize his business dealings with indicted Chicago real estate developer Tony Rezko constituted a conflict of interest. He didn't realize his pastor and spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, delivered hate-filled church speeches. Are we really to believe those assertions from Illinois' junior Senator, Barack Obama, a graduate of Harvard Law School and the first black president of its esteemed Law Review? Kinda hard for a magna cum laude Harvard law grad to play dumb, don't ya think? And is it not fair to ask the question, what else didn't Obama realize that might surface soon from his past?
Videos of Wright's speeches have surfaced in recent days in which he makes racist, anti-Semitic and anti-American statements. In one, he angrily declares that the United States brought the 9-11 attacks on itself due to its sponsorship of terrorism against Palestinians and others throughout the world. And Rezko, currently on trial in Chicago on federal corruption charges, helped the Obamas buy their home, and gave $250,000 in early campaign contributions (the Obama camp, btw, had previously understated this amount by $100,000).
To be sure, a lot of steam's been let out of the Obama campaign this past week. These two controversies have put the presidential hopeful on the hot seat, and both matters have serious legs. While Obama and his camp have desperately attempted to put them to bed, they're simply not going away.
For a candidate who's based his whole campaign on hope, change and personal integrity, these situations are causing Obama a lot of problems. Can you imagine the field day the Republicans would have against him in the general election? Can you imagine how vicious and personal their attacks would be? Think of what they'll do with Obama's admitted use of booze, pot and "blow" when he was younger. Throw in his clear lack of national and foreign policy experience and I seriously question Obama's electability. I'm not alone. A brand-new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has him and Hillary even at 45% against the GOP's presumptive nominee, Sen. John McCain. This is down from his 11-point lead over McCain just 16 days ago.
Obama's once inevitability is no more. With five months left until the Democratic convention in Denver, one or two more such controversies and Obama's ship could be sinked.

Objectives: We sought to examine the associations between participation in a worksite fitness center and worker productivity.
Methods: A modified Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) and employees' short-term disability claims were used as productivity measures with multivariate logistic regression models to control for health risk, age, gender, and work location.
Results: Nonparticipants in a worksite fitness center were more likely to report health-related work productivity limitations for time management (odds ratio [OR] = 1.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09–2.41), physical work (OR = 1.58, CI = 1.03–2.43), output limitations (OR = 2.24, CI = 1.01–2.12), and overall work impairment (OR = 1.41, CI = 1.00–1.96) than fitness center participants. Fitness center participation also was associated with 1.3 days fewer short-term disability days per year per employee (P = 0.02) and 0.39 fewer health risks (P = 0.01).
Conclusions: These results support the association of worksite fitness center participants with improved worker productivity and fewer short-term disability workdays lost.

Oh yes, the first 3D software I've ever used, and still uses. It still amazes me how big and vast this program is, it's incredible!
When I'm done with the modelling and texturing, I need a render engine that delivers perfect images every time, and Vray does the job!
When Vray have made the perfect image, it still needs some polishing, levels, curves etc. And what better way is there to do it than Photoshop?
I love playing around in After Effects, and when I've rendered multiple images, this software comes in handy to put it all together, and make it look crisp!
Marvelous Designer is the perfect solution when it comes to making pillows, bed sheets etc. The simulation is fast and precise, just what you need!
Everybody loves particle simulations, and I'm no exception. I've filled out my HDD too many times with this program!
Hi there, my name is Søren Meier!
Currently I live in Aarhus, Denmark, where I have a apprenticeship at Ambiente A/S as a 3D animator.
I've been playing with 3D for a couple of years now, and love to explore the vast universe that it is.
I love to make things as realistic as possible, and by that I mean to get the size right, the material crisp, lightning natural and the camera settings spot on!
