a projectile type of weapon? how quickly was it coming in? plasticastic and properties of the film, the bone, theof the faster it comes in -- it feels like it would glass. these areas are fairly predictable about fractures. here, looking at around such as the head? long tubes as the backbone? those will have different biomechanical properties and the physics will change. the age of the individual. lost bone density will fracture fracture in a different way than a toddler who has a lot of collagen in his bones. covering and protection, even the amount of hair on the head has been shown to influence .ow that weapon can penetrate of course, being humans and learning to protect ourselves can alter how we predict. if when i was first asked to give this talk, and i have to would be five minutes and judge matheson has heard this talk and a variety of different forms -- i said i am going to get rid of all of my historic cases and judge matheson said, own know, i love them. it, the i thought about more i thought how this illustrates really nicely how

it turns out with a projectile-- usually there is a lot of air drag like with a cannonball. but in the absence of air drag, that horizontal component of speed stays the same. that means it will always be kind of going this way. i'll tell you an interesting application of that. you know, when you throw a rock off a cliff, it keeps going out, out, out, and it gets steeper, steeper, steeper, right? it will never get so steep that it's vertical, 'cause it will always have this component of speed, you know? it's like, where i live-- i live at a place on the 32nd floor of a building, okay? and down here there's a swimming pool, and up on the top-- sometimes i think about, well, rather than getting the elevator, come all the way down, and have to come out open the door, go through the gate, come in and-- why not just.. [descending whistle] and i have to wonder if i could make it. [laughter] now, here's the thing that's kind of interest. you kind of look over there and you wonder if you could make it. well, it turns out i'm so high that it'd take about four seconds for an object to

not too many projectile ones that the square hole in the head, it's not so square feel it closely. it's a diamond. it was a diamond with a hole through the medal and that's what happens when facetime into goes all the way through to the skirt but notice the radiating fractures that extend out. you can tell that came in with much more velocity because the energy is being dissipated in those radiating fractures. those more recent events have certainly influenced our work and how we are interpreting events from recent conflicts. while i was working on towton i was part of the team with the smithsonian institution that when introducing human rights work within the former yugoslavia with the break up into smaller units in the 90s. we were asked to work in croatio many mass graves coming out that the pathologist asked for our help in training in both excavation and to analyze the severely decomposed remains. again, mass graves of a very different sort of nonetheless dealing with familiar features that we saw at towton. coal mingled individuals with the u.n. and so working with them on ho

just some viblz of the project that kevin mentioned this is under construction currently and the projectile captures the corner of admission street shaw alley and the street. the public open space public arts program is located along th the wall of the building spanning all the way from admission street. public open space is located at the plaza and partially within the building lobby. we have two art pieces that represent our art program. one is glass white wall made up of mirror glass and second piece is art sculpture that is positions at the corner of minute street and shaw alley. so i would let the artists introduce their artwork. the main intent of the artwork is to capita vat and engage in delight the public with the plazas and shaw would be the major intersection at the positioning of the arts and the ability of the public to view the art directly is really important as they transverse from admission street. i'd like to introduce first gordon who's the artist to talk about glass white wall sculpture >> good afternoon. i'm gordon. i'm from napa california but i'm the proud product of

i look at you and i feel the bile moving up my throat until i projectile vomit. >> i am going off the script. this is geared only toward good looking people. sbt dash cash isn't this another kind of bigotry? >> yes and good looking people everywhere should be outraged by this and demand an apology. >> you mean ugly people? whatever. >> i wasn't really listening. >> that's the point. you proved the point of the story. people who are handsome they don't have to try hard. all they have to do -- look at your shirt. >> i don't have to read the articles because i am mike baker. >> to prove i read the article article -- leave us alone, man. >> i am feeling the pressure. >> this has been going on for a longtime. there is no gandhi for ugly people and you take advantage of that. >> what i like about the story is it is to get off that track completely. they have to confirm through facebook that you are single. that's their due diligence. because nobody would lie on facebook. >> you are a disgusting person. >> he is a self-promoting -- >> i know! how about only answer in morse code byway of jigl

reporter: the cargo secured with only a couple of bungee cords, shot right through tom's suv like a projectile, some how missing him. >> this is where the wood literally goes by my head. scrapes my head like that but doesn't remove my head. you'll notice the wood here is in the steering wheel. my hand was over here somewhere. >> reporter: he was taking the highway home in portland when it happened just two days ago. and he's still trying to make sense of it all. >> divine intervention is the only thing i can say, my hand shouldn't been attached. or my head. >> reporter: he kept a souvenir a chunk of his car as a reminder. >> i'll make that in to a plaque for the wall, a survivor piece. >> reporter: he will never forget what the doctor told him. >> go buy a lottery ticket. i lived through something i shouldn't have had. >> reporter: for "good morning america," tai hernandez, new york. >>> and another close call, this one at a hospital emergency room in wisconsin. take a look at this, a car crashed right through the wall of the e.r., police say the driver was hurt and had to be taken to a differ

several agents were hit with the projectiles. reenforcements were brought in. >>> up next, the holiday travel season gets off to a messy and dangerous start. here's some of what our affiliates are covering tonight. oakland with a mass shooting that injured seven people including a father walking down the street with his children. wofl in orlando was a woman so upset about government spending she paid her entire $11,000 tax bill in $1 bills and pennies. that will teach them. >> this is a live look at philadelphia from wtxf. the big story is the approaching storm and what it's going to do to your holiday travel. that's tonight's live look outside the beltway. we'll be right back. >>> get iting over the river an through the woods to grandmother's house might be tough. a massive winter storm is causing all kinds of travel problems. we are live at reagan national airport. >> reporter: it's the calm before the storm here. we expect big crowds tomorrow and plenty of bad weather too with cancellations and flight delays that go along with

not the energy they had when they were projectiles in some war or something. so just as those cannonballs don't-- are not dangerous anymore, the alpha particles and the beta particles that make up helium gas in a balloon is not dangerous. they've lost their energy. this piece of chalk isn't dangerous. but if i put this piece of chalk in a shotgun and fired at you, then it is. and that's the difference between the particles that were rejected from nuclei. they come at very, very high speeds. high speeds and a lot of energy. they can tear in to you and maybe that's not so good. but once stopped, they're completely harmless. any questions at this point? let's continue. begs the question, why is it that atoms are radioactive anyway? and it turns out all the atoms beyond atomic number 83, they're all radioactive, which is to say they're unstable. they decay. what's going on? remember we talked about the fundamental rule of electricity and that fundamental rule was that light charges repel and unlike charges attract? let's consider a proton here. and now another pro

had a conversation with this ballistics experts who had done the math and pointed out that the projectile, the rock from david's sling was moving at about 45 miles an hour and would have hit goliath with the speed of a .45 caliber handgun. >> how do you find an israeli ballistics expert who had done this study? >> there was a paper about seven year ago at a conference. it was at the international ballistics conference. >> how did you hear about international ballistics conference? >> if you're as much of a nerd as i am, this is the kind of stuff you get interested in. >> this is what you do? >> this is what i do. >> gladwell has done has made him hugely popular and very wealthy. his new book, "david and goliath" topped the new york's bestseller's list. >> when you're an underdog, you would attempt things you have never attempted. david felt emboldened to try something outside the box. that's a pattern you see again and again with underdogs that because they can't do the thing they are required to do, they look for alternate routes. >> reporter: he wrote about the successful strategies of

keach: this projectile point indicates that this cave was occupied at the same time as purron cave, about 5000 b.c. clues to the diet of the cave's ancient residents also began turning up. interpreter: this is a piece of maguey that was cooked over a fire and then chewed. it was a species of cactus that they chewed and then spat out. sometimes you can see the mark of people's teeth on these quids. so maguey was clearly a part of the diet of the people that came here at a certain season of the year. this is a leaf of nopal cactus, which you can find during all the seasons, but there are times when people eat it more often because there is nothing else to eat. keach: nopal still grows just outside the cave. macneish's workmen remember droughts when they ate nopal to stave off hunger and thirst. they call the cactus "starvation food." so, discovering cactus in the cave tells the archaeologists it was occupied during the dry season when both food and water were scarce. pretty good, not bad. needs a little sauce. the most precise evidence that this was a dry-season camp is a tiny, hollow bone.
