BBDO and Foot Locker Predict John Wall's Entire Career - Posted October 28, 2014
The latest spot in the BBDO series for Foot Locker is a bit more forward-looking than others: it involves Wizard Point guard John Wall's colleagues predicting his entire career arc. Here's "The Process": Fairly accurate, but he left out the "gambling problem followed by redemption" part, which leads to either the inev... [GalleyCat]

Leo Burnett, Special K Trim 'Fat Talk' for Women - Posted December 10, 2013
One of the opening frames in Leo Burnett's "Fat Talk" spot for Special K tells the viewer that 93% of women engage in fat talk, a form of passive-aggressive self-shaming. Because of Facebook and Twitter, I'm surprised that number isn't seven percentage points higher. But during the two-minute spot, women in a... [GalleyCat]

Frameworks solve common problems, and thus allow rapid application development. Agile and incremental software development, however, does not magically create architectures as you go. We will prove the point that your favourite framework does not provide you with an application architecture, and analyze what implications this has. This talk is not about big design up front, and not about "your framework is bad", or "another framework is better". It is about avoiding to end up in a situation where software works, but maintenance is tough, expensive, and bears more risks than you can afford to take, regardless of which framework you are using.

Researchers from IMIM (Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute) have deciphered the function executed by a protein called β-catenin in generating blood tissue stem cells. These cells, also called haematopoietic, are used as a source for transplants that form part of the therapies to fight different types of leukaemia. The results obtained will open the doors to produce these stem cells in the laboratory and, thus, improve the quality and quantity of these surgical procedures. This will let patients with no compatible donors be able to benefit from this discovery in the future.
The study, executed jointly with the Erasmus Medical Center Stem Cell of Rotterdam and published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, analysed a chain of molecular reactions that are produced inside some embryonic cells and that play a role in the creation of a haematopoietic stem cells. 'Our study contributes to deciphering the code that makes a precursor cell that is only found in the embryo become a haematopoietic stem cell. In order for that to happen, the β-catenin protein must be activated for a while and with a specific dosage' explains Dr Anna Bigas, head of the IMIM Stem Cells & Cancer Group and lead researcher.
This protein also plays a fundamental role in the cells that originate and maintain some types of leukaemia. 'The parallelisms between normal and leukaemia stem cells prove to us that the molecular pathways that regulate both populations are the same. For this reason, our work will help us understand the origin of these diseases', argues Dr Bigas.
In addition to embryonic stem cells, each of our body's organs has another type of stem cell that has the capacity to regenerate all the cells for the tissue in question. However, they are only formed in the embryonic stage and are maintained for the rest of our lives. Haematopoietic stem cells are part of the blood and, when they are transplanted, they are the inception f

Lawmakers keep lizard off list of endangered species
WASHINGTON — The federal government decided not to list the dunes sagebrush lizard as an endangered species, much to the delight of the oil and gas industry, landowners and the North Texas congressional delegation.
Some environmental groups were far from delighted at the decision announced Wednesday regarding the little lizard that lives in the Permian Basin, an energy development area in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
Environmentalists object to the same thing federal and Texas state officials and energy groups are rejoicing over: an unprecedented voluntary conservation plan with no means of enforcement.
Federal officials said they expect state governments in Texas and New Mexico, landowners and energy producers to carry through on their states' respective plans to conserve and restore the lizard's habitat. If not, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can always move to list the lizard as an endangered species again.
Wichita Falls Congressman Mac Thornberry, a Republican from Clarendon, hailed the decision.
"It's one step toward common sense," Thornberry said. "In a lot of ways, even considering listing this lizard didn't even pass the laugh test."
Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican, also was heavily opposed to the listing, but Wednesday he was in the unusual position of praising a decision from President Barack Obama's administration.
"Today's decision shows the value for local input and due diligence when it comes to federal regulation," Cornyn said in a conference call Wednesday.
Congressman Mike Conaway, whose district includes much of the Permian Basin, was among those leading the charge against the proposal to give the lizard protections extended under the Endangered Species Act.
"I am hopeful that in the future, Fish and Wildlife will look first to negotiate voluntary agreements with local communities rather than dictate blanket orders from Washington," Conaway, a Republican from Midland, said in a statement.
The Texas Association of Business, Conaway, Cornyn and North Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer believed listing the tiny lizard as endangered would stand in the way of jobs in a down economy.
It would have negatively affected energy producers, farmers and ranchers, Neugebauer, a Republican from Lubbock who represents Young County and part of Archer County, said in a statement Wednesday.
"It could have devastated our local economy by severely limiting energy production and agricultural activities," Neugebauer said.
The Independent Petroleum Association of American commended oil and gas producers "for making the case to the administration that economic development and wildlife conservation can go hand in hand," a media release said.
The IPAA went on to tout environmental stewardship as a "fundamental pillar" for independent producers.
The Center for Biological Diversity disagreed with the Republican lawmakers and the IPAA while also rejecting the idea that protecting the lizard would impact jobs.
The environmental organization, which petitioned for the lizard's addition to the endangered species list, said the administration caved to pressure from the oil and gas industry.
"This decision by the Obama administration to toss aside the Endangered Species Act and bow to the wishes of the oil and gas industry is not only bad news for this rare lizard but sets a dangerous precedent for other declining species," Taylor McKinnon of the center said in a news release.

CLEVELAND -- December 16, 2009 -- Every year in the United States, 160,000 cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed, and 57,000 patients die of the disease, making it the second leading cause of death from cancer among adults, after lung cancer.
As researchers and clinicians fervently look for causes and cures for colorectal cancer -- simultaneously generating thousands of studies producing more and more promising results Dr. Sanford Markowitz, professor and researcher of cancer and genetics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and oncologist at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at University Hospitals Case Medical Center, today published his forward-looking view of the "Molecular Basis of Colorectal Cancer" in the Dec. 17, 2009 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, with co-author, Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, from the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
"Today's challenges are to understand the molecular basis of individual susceptibility to colorectal cancer and to determine factors that initiate the development of the tumor, drive its progression, and determine its responsiveness or resistance to antitumor agents," wrote Dr. Markowitz.
Key advances that the article singled out toward meeting these goals are:

Study Finds Medicaid Expansion Drove Up ER Visits
A new study has found that people enrolled recently in Medicaid went to the emergency room 40 percent more frequently than others, often seeking help for conditions that could be treated less expensively in a doctor's office or an urgent care clinic.
The research, published Thursday by the journal Science, comes as millions of Americans gain health insurance this week under the federal health care law, many of them through Medicaid.
The findings help inform a long-running debate about the effect of expanding Medicaid and suggest that hospitals and health officials around the nation should be prepared for an increase in emergency room trips in the coming months.
The study is the third to arise from a limited expansion of Medicaid in Oregon five years ago. Demand exceeded the available funding, so the state used a lottery to randomly choose people for coverage from a waiting list. The lottery created two groups of similar people, one consisting of new Medicaid patients, the other a comparison group of people who weren't selected. It gave scientists a rare chance to evaluate the program in a randomized, controlled study - the gold-standard for scientific research.
Taken together with the earlier findings, the latest research indicates that expanding Medicaid improves mental health and leaves patients more financially stable in the first two years. But it increases spending for hospitals, primary care and prescriptions and doesn't produce significant improvements in measures of physical health like blood pressure or cholesterol.
"We've been able to eliminate some extreme views about the program," said Sarah Taubman of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the study's lead author. "In the absence of that evidence, there were some unduly pessimistic views and some unduly optimistic views" about the effects of Medicaid.
Researchers used hospital records to look at ER use over 18 months for 25,000 people in the Portland area who entered the Medicaid lottery, some who were chosen for coverage and some who were not. Patients with Medicaid made, on average, 1.43 ER visits, compared with 1.02 for those who lost the lottery, an increase of 40 percent.
The study also found that 35 percent of people who weren't selected for Medicaid made an ER visit during the research period. For those who gained coverage, however, the number was 7 points higher at 42 percent.

You would have to check each camera. My new 35mm SLR was made in 1970 or so, and 1/1000 of a second really is 1/1000 of a second, after cleaning and lubricating and adjusting the shutter.
Thanks! I haven't figure out how to get my Nikon F5 to fire its shutter with the back open or removed yet so I can't test its shutter speed yet.

It gets challenging to measure those speeds, the slit becomes quite narrow.

There is short exposure reciprocity failure, yes.

You can buy these days a Nikon F-801 or even a F90 for under £40. They have 1/8000th shutters. I'm almost sure the F-801 was the first to have such a high speed shutter.

Chapter Seventeen
I woke up frowning. It was raining.
'Sarah, I believe I will have to be dressed warmly today' I said unhappily
She chuckled 'Are you not fond of cold days, miss?'
'Not at all. There isn't a thing I can do during them! I must sit inside all day. How unappealing!'
Sarah laughed 'Well then, if you put it like that, miss, I see what you mean. Now, which dress shall it be today?'
'How about my maroon one? The warm dress. With my shawl.'
'Of course, miss.'
Sarah helped me change do my hair.
'Now, you'd best go down for breakfast, miss. I believe cook has made some porridge.'
I sighed 'Thank you, Sarah'
I walked into the breakfast room to find that Lucas had not yet come down. I quietly got my porridge and sat opposite Lord Patrick.
'I'm going away for a while' he said after a few minuted of silence
'Away?' I asked
'Yes,' he replied gruffly 'for a week. Lucas has agreed to stay here to keep a watch on you.'
'How… generous of him'
'If I hear you've been up to any funny business, I can guarantee a swift punishment will be delivered. Is that understood?'
I nodded slowly.
'Good. Stay here until Lucas comes. I am leaving.'
'Good bye, Lord Patrick'
He walked out and I couldn't help but be relieved.
Lucas POV
I have been doing what I can to find out more about your Catherine.
So far, I have discovered that she was quite well off; her mother was from a wealthy family. Nothing that you did not already know. What I ask is what about her father? Who is he? For I cannot find out anything about him.
Surely her mother would not have a child without marrying- for she would be ruined if that were the case. So what happened to him?
Forgive me, I must go. But I shall keep searching.
Your friend,

Negative: 2 out of 40
Leave it to von Trier to conceive an intergalactic sci-fi metaphor for a psychological disorder – and then make it work so astonishingly well.
For all the tyrannical disdain he's shown other filmmakers over the years, von Trier once again demonstrates a mastery of classical technique, extracting incredibly strong performances from his cast while serving up a sturdy blend of fly-on-the-wall naturalism and jaw-dropping visual effects.
Its true subject is melancholia as a spiritual state, a destroyer of happiness that emerges from its hiding place behind the sun, just like the menacing planet, then holds the heroine, Justine, in its unyielding grip and gives Ms. Dunst the unlikely occasion for a dazzling performance.
For stretches of the film, von Trieria is as welcome as Siberia. You must stay to the end for a potent payoff, when the tragic magic of the opening scenes is reasserted.
As von Trier's ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy, Melancholia is a broodingly downbeat self-portrait but also the inspiring work of an artist of seemingly boundless imaginative power.
Melancholia represents von Trier at his best and worst. Visually and thematically, Melancholia is a rich motion picture, full of nuances. Unfortunately, in his pursuit of an artistic vision, von Trier has thrown logic, physics, and coherence out the window.
Melancholia is his latest pile of undiluted drivel, nauseatingly filmed by a wonky hand-held camera and featuring a crazy, mismatched ensemble headed by Kirsten Dunst, who won an acting award in Cannes last year for looking totally catatonic.

The basic premise is that a planet isWhile being an extremely slow and long film, Melancholia is an extremely effective film as well. The basic premise is that a planet is colliding with Earth, and the events preceding the collision are portrayed through the disturbed lives of two sisters, played by Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Both performances are nothing less than spectacular. They have a very controlled quality to themselves, very reminiscent of Nicole Kidman in "Rabbit Hole" or Annette Bening in "The Kids are All Right." The supporting cast is also rather good, especially the bitterness-filled mother of the two sisters, as is Gainsbourgh's husband, played by Keifer Sutherland. Visually, the film is stunningly beautiful, with interesting, beautiful cinematography. The score is perfectly appropriate to the apocalyptic doom-feel of the film. What is truly remarkable, though, is the way that von Trier lays out the idea of how the end of the world, or just death for that matter, can be truly beautiful and something to embrace and (ironically) "live to the fullest," if the time is right. The psychological switch that happens between the two sisters is interesting, but remains ultimately within their characters' inner psyche, without actually diverging too far from the first part of the film. Kirsten Dunst gives an excellent portrayal of depression and the realisation of imminent death, and its acceptance in a rather calm, rational manner. Charlotte Gainsbourg, on the other hand, shows the attempt to cover the inner restlessness, fear and hopelessness with the veneer of rationality, but ultimately failing. As the end of the world approaches, Dunst is the one that keeps her head high, looks straight death in the eye, while Gainsbourg fidgets around missing the ultimate beauty of her death, and in association, her own life.… Expand
Nov 16, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An odd thing happened to me on my way out of the theater last night after seeing "Melancholia." Suddenly, the movie, which I'd been mixed at best about, began to seem like a terrific set of jokes, most of them slyly, cunningly visual. Suddenly, this art film about depression and the end of the world, with its upscale country-estate visuals and high-minded Wagnerian soundtrack, became lowdown laugh-out-loud funny. "And what was up, anyway, with that dress the bride's mother wore?" I asked my viewing companion. "Didn't it look more like a tie-dyed teeshirt?" Pretty soon we were both giggling and guffawing. "In fact, weren't all the dresses sort of tacky?" "Melancholia" begins with a gorgeous, expensive wedding party from hell, the lovely bride who's been functioning up until now in cheerful, productive denial collapsing into total depression in the midst of friends' and family's selfishness and bad behavior. Both her parents make horrible, hostile speeches; her boss (also the best man) fires her after she tells him what she really thinks of him; the cute, babyish groom goes home with his parents after she rejects him sexually. Every guest -- not to speak of the wedding planner -- has his or her moment of meanness, rudeness, or stupidity. But there's no sense that any of these characters have a shared history. Absent a believable social nexus, there can be no social satire: vintage Von Trier, the wedding scenes roll by as misjointed episodes of inappropriate behavior and jittery camera. Nor is anyone on screen the kind of upscale movie rich person you can have fun feeling superior to even as you enjoy looking at them. No one except the clueless groom even looks that good; the nut-case bride, Justine, becomes increasingly oppressed by a silly, puffed-up, unbecoming, and ever more crushed and wilting gown. For me the wedding was a long meandering frustration, much less fun than I kept expecting it to be. So I was glad (though not optimistic) when Part II -- shot much more serenely -- began. Some time has passed at the lush country estate (it belongs to Justine's sister Claire's rich husband). Justine's mental condition has continued to deteriorate; Claire's taking care of her. There are some intimate domestic scenes and lovely landscapes, sugesting that perhaps even an awful wedding isn't the end of the world. But wait, it IS the end of the world. A newly-discovered planet called Melancholia is making its way toward Earth. Scientists don't foresee a collision, just a fantastic cosmic show for amateur astronomers. But we who have seen the movie's opening montage know differently and so does Justine, whose depression has put her in tune with the big engines of destruction. Pretty soon, of course, everybody can do the math or simply observe the rogue planet looming larger, ever more gorgeously visible even during the day. Claire becomes as overwrought as I (and I'm guessing you) would be, while Justine begins to flourish. In a particularly stunning night scene with the Liebestod theme on the soundtrack, she reclines naked on a riverbank; bathed in Melancholia's deathly light, she's as open to ravishment by her own and everyone else's oncoming death as she was shut off from sex with her young husband. None of this is exactly profound, but it was effective and I enjoyed it. Neither Justine nor Claire is given any genuine depth of character or specificity of motivation (Justine's the crazy one, Claire's reasonably adjusted to what seems a more-or-less typically imperfect life, except with a lot more money). But in the face of imminent annihilation their words, actions, and expressions are freakishly recognizeable. I was particularly moved by Charlotte Gainsbourgh's Claire, clutching at her young son, making hysterical, futile attempts to escape to somewhere, do SOMETHING. While as for Justine's wilder side of the equation: my natural tendancy is to respond with annoyance, even to take offence, at any romanticization of death; my guess is that lots of depressives would be just as terrified by the prospect of the world coming to an end as the rest of us; and don't even get me started about Wagnerian mysticism. But for all that, I have to confess I found Big Oblivion as Von Trier delivers it in the final scenes to be big sublime fun, and terrific to look at. A nasty, narcissistic streak runs through it, of course: the adolescent fantasy of being in touch with big destructive forces, and of taking everybody less sensitive than you with you when you go. Von Trier knows this, I think. His two-sisters structure is a way of identifying with Justine but not entirely. The movie has it both ways and so did I. And so does anyone emerging safe and sound from the theater, the deferred humor from the wedding scene bursting forth to break the tension, sending you into gales of helpless laughter, after the apocalypse, later, out there on the staircase.… Expand

This movie is LONG AND DRAGGY. I actually walked out, and I almost never do that for a movie I paid money to see.… Expand

Are vouchers good or bad?
David Paris interviewed by TIME.com
By Holly Foster | Contact Holly Foster 315-859-4068
Posted January 24, 2001
Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty David Paris, who is the James S. Sherman Professor of Government at Hamilton, was interviewed by TIME.com for an article about President Bush's education reform plan.
Paris is quoted as saying, "it's not clear whether vouchers would actually be the kiss of death to any education reform package. Certainly at this point the word 'voucher' has taken on a political life of its own, and introduction could wreak havoc on the education debate. If the conversation turns to vouchers, the air will be poisoned."

Yes, yes. As I said, Whedon gets all the credit for his success
some rabid fanboy needs to rationalize why something he does is horribly nonsensical, stupid, and mistake-ridden. Then they start mentioning everyone else, and even pretending to spread the fanboyishness to other people to show just how they don't praise him and him alone. (But only to disprove how they do. At all other times, it's really Whedon and Whedon alone.)
Case in point: It's funny how you don't jump on all the other people throughout the thread who ''mistakingly'' gave Whedon all the credit when they enjoyed the movie.
The Cabin in the Woods
is as much Goddard's baby as Whedon's, if not more so.
So I guess Whedon had zero input in the movie, then. Otherwise, all of these mistakes and stupid concepts would have been brought up and eliminated with his cohorts, no?
Of course it's a goddamn system. You think society isn't a system? It is. The world is a system.
Your use of the term implied it was something that didn't have to exist, but existed because a bunch of people wanted to do it like this. That wasn't the case at all, as the world was presented to us by Whedon. This organization
to exist in order to keep the world turning. Not a single person we saw actually wanted to be there. They were just jaded by years and years of having to endure these duties and found levity where they could. It's no different than doctors or morticians making jokes/bets about corpses and other morbid things.
That's a good one. Yeah, because the sadists running that facility were ever so virtuous and empathetic, weren't they? Very self-sacrificing.
Be real: This Organization, whatever it was -- and we don't know if it was government, or some ancient cult that had grown rich, or what -- is a prime example of institutionalized corruption.
Just to point out: All their deaths meant nothing anyway. Whatever rules are used in this world -- and we only have what Whedon presented us as facts, so yay, he still gets the blame for everything -- they were apparently very specific and without very specific murder victims, the entire world would end. As it was about to at the end of the movie, despite dozens of people being slaughtered by all kinds of random monsters.
Or the possibility that if the monsters were defeated once, they could be so again. Perhaps more permanently, in an era of atomic weaponry.
Who said they were ever defeated? If they were, no deal would have had to have been made to begin with if they had their asses handed to them. If anything, the deal is
they were defeated, if there was a war to begin with. And by "defeated" I mean "allowed humanity to live by accepting the sacrifices rather than just wiping them off the face of the planet."
Also, since you seem to feel its okay to make stuff up, who's to say there isn't a global government that's researching this? They clearly developed all-powerful forcefields and bioweapons, none of which they actually
in order to get the job done. So why did they invent them in the first place? Oh yeah, probably in response to the threat these gods possess. But even with that technology, they knew they didn't stand a chance, so they had to keep appeasing these gods with the original deal they made to save the world.
And, finally, who's to say it's not a democratic system? "Democratic system" doesn't mean "everyone knows everything and votes on each and every topic." If it does, however, I must have missed the checkbox about how I wanted every dollar of my taxes spent the last time I was at the voting booth.

About MeHello, hello all of you amazing and wonderful models and artists. Just a little bit about me. I am a professional photographer located in Lawrenceville Ga, but I do branch out wherever the work is. I have had the good fortune to work with some amazing models and gather so much insight to this industry. I have branched professionally into event photography, but my pure love of model photography and amazing concepts keeps me searching for talented models. The nerd in me draws me mainly to cosplay photography while the artist in me draws me towards anything original and unique, so those are the areas that I am more likely to do for TFP. Any size, shape, age, gender, or style, as long as it is visually exciting and fun. Please take a look at my portfolio and web site and contact me if you are up for some amazing photos. I'm always looking to make new friends and meet great and talented artists.
Thank you

The Dynamics of the Wealth Distribution and the Interest Rate with Credit Rationing
With decreasing returns and first-best credit, the long-run interest rate and aggregate output are uniquely determined, and wealth dispersion among individuals or firms is irrelevant. Introducing credit rates and wealth distributions can exist because higher initial rates can be self-reinforcing through higher credit rationing and lower capital accumulation. The wealth accumulation process is ergodic in every steady state, but wealth mobility is lower with higher steady-state interest rates. Aggregate output is higher in steady states with lower interest rates because credit is better allocated. Short-run interest rate or distribution shocks can be self-sustaining and can have long run effects on output through the induced dynamics of the wealth distribution and credit rationing.
