cannibalism(redirected from Canabalistc)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
The eating of the flesh of one human by another.
A term of art used in cytology for the partial or complete engulfing of one malignant cell by another, a not-uncommon finding in adenocarcinomas in pleural and peritoneal effusions.
Surrogate flesh (e.g., bread wafers), is consumed to symbolise unification with a higher power; as in the sacrament Eucharist, in which Christ's body is seen as imbued in the wafer distributed by the celebrant.
Although not known as cannibalism, the "eating" of the body of Christ, as practised by Christians, derives from certain practices by the ancient Greeks in which blood or body parts from priests were consumed; the sacrament of the Eucharist is believed by some to originate in eucharistia, Greek for gratitude.
Eating of people for food.
Actual flesh is consumed, divided into:
• Endo-cannibalism—Consumption of a blood relative, respected and loved in life (see Morbid affection);
• Exo-cannibalism—flesh of those outside of one's tribe, the typically fallen warriors, medicine men and virgins, were eaten to gain, respectively, bravery, wisdom and purity.
Survival cannibalism.
The human consumption of human flesh.See: kuru
cannibalismThe act or practice of eating the flesh of members of the same species.
the eating of flesh of living members of the same or similar species. It is common only in pigs and chickens and is due partly to boredom because of the confined space in which the animals are kept. See also infantophagia.

Though Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has become the best unpaid spokesman that workout guru Tony Horton could hope for, Horton steps gingerly around political questions.
The creator of the wildly popular and gruelingly intense P90X fitness program, Horton compliments both Ryan and first lady Michelle Obama for their efforts to get Americans moving. Exercise is a bipartisan activity after all, and Horton, a Rhode Island native, is not interested in taking sides.
"It's been interesting, it's like walking a tightrope," Horton, 54, said on the phone recently while getting his makeup done for a magazine photoshoot in Los Angeles. "It's just health and fitness, regardless of who you're going to vote for on Nov. 6."
Horton has trained Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, even Billy Idol. (He jokes that he's keeping rock 'n' roll alive.) Actors Ben Stiller and Ashton Kutcher have raved about his exercise DVDs. But it was the news that fitness buff Ryan swears by the P90X workout that catapulted the regimen into the spotlight — and cemented Horton's status as New England's answer to Jack LaLanne.
Not bad for a guy who was a bench warmer for his high-school football team in Trumbull, Conn.
"We were watching the news and heard the announcement that Paul Ryan was picked" to run on the Republican ticket with Mitt Romney, Horton said. "My girlfriend turned to me and said, 'You might get a few phone calls.' I said 'I don't think so. I'm not really relevant.' And now, 30-plus interviews later, I guess she was right."
Horton wasn't exactly unknown before the Ryan candidacy. His infomercials, staples of late night TV, show a parade of before and after photos of P90X success stories, while the tan and chiseled Horton explains the technique behind the program, a 12 DVD series that sells for $119.95. They feature one workout per day for 90 days (Sundays off). There's also a nutrition guide.
He's sold the DVDs to grandmothers on QVC, junior high soccer teams, and led in-person classes on military bases, in the Congressional gym, and at the Pentagon. P90X is currently one of the most-downloaded apps for the iPhone.
Horton's ability to woo and wow his political and celebrity clients comes as little surprise to his younger sister, Kit Horton Caldicott, of Maynard.
"He was always the fun, joking older brother," said Caldicott. "He was — and still is — very much a social guy. That's probably why he's such a successful guy now. It's because of his charisma. He always had that about him."
Thanks in part to Horton's affable pitch-man personality, P90X has racked up sales of $600 million for its distributor, Beachbody, since it went on sale in 2004. Immediately after Romney chose Ryan as his running mate, Jon Congdon, Beachbody's president and cofounder, said he saw an increase in traffic to the company's website, and an uptick in sales.
"We don't want to make a big deal out of it," said Congdon. "But Democrats and Republicans have a hard time agreeing on much the rest of the day, but for an hour every day they are working out together. I know in some cases that they have cosponsored bills together because they worked out together to P90X."
Congressman Heath Shuler (D-NC), a former NFL quarterback who regularly leads P90X classes in the Congressional gym with Ryan, appreciates the intensity of the workouts.
"Paul is trying for strength, I'm trying to get leaner," Shuler said. "But I believe in it. I've been involved in fitness for many years, and I'm impressed with Tony."
Horton took a circuitous path to becoming a fitness authority. He grew up in Westerly, R.I., bounced around the country throughout school ("I was an army brat," he says), and attended the University of Rhode Island. After his ill-fated high school football experience, he decided to take a weight class in college, and his instructor persuaded him that exercise could be enjoyable.
"The coach was a mentor with a great sense of humor, he was willing to take his time and show us the process," Horton said. "That's the first time in my life I thought, 'Wow, who knew that this thing could be fun, and along the way, you get this whole benefit? Not only physically, but mentally and emotionally.' No one ever explained it to me that way before. All I've done over the past few years is re-create a version of what I got from that class."
His original plan was not a career in fitness, but in acting. In 1980, he headed out to California, trying his hand at the vocation, along with stand-up comedy, and even a brief stint as a street mime. But he jumped into fitness when he realized that casting directors considered him out-of-shape.
His rigorous training routine and newly muscled body started attracting the attention of fellow gymgoers looking for a personal trainer. Eventually, he was training clients such as Shirley MacLaine, Rob Lowe, and Sean Connery. Last month, he was brought in to train diplomats at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. He came to the embassy after a training session at the Pentagon.
"He's absolutely passionate," said Colonel Scott Howden, Canadian Defence Air Attache."I didn't get the impression that he's passionate for commercial purposes. He's passionate because he really wants people to be active."
Though the program was designed to be done at home, P90X has been creeping into local gyms and group workouts as well. Ted Duncan, a Brookline realtor and a P90X devotee, runs a biweekly Meet Up group that uses the program (along with another Beachbody product called Insanity) for workout sessions. He says attendance in his classes has grown steadily recently.
"People like to do this in a group," Duncan says. "It works great to do it in your living room, but it's different with other people. It can be more energetic."
Adam Campbell, fitness director of Men's Health magazine, says the success of any program is not simply based on the exercise component.
"When we create fitness DVDs, one of the hardest things to do is to find someone who is a real authority on the subject, looks and lives the part, and also looks fantastic on camera," Campbell said. "Tony has all of those things. He's a special talent, and that's hard to find."
Horton, who still regularly returns to the area to visit his father in Rhode Island and sister in Massachusetts, says he's not sure if the hoopla over Ryan's physique will make a difference come election day.
"Obviously you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that if you're a politician or an athlete, or a mom or dad, that being disciplined about your fitness and your diet says that you're a hard worker," Horton said. "Will it help with his electability? I don't know. I think it draws a certain amount of respect. People see that he has that kind of discipline."
In the spirit of bipartisanship, Horton quickly adds: "But at the same time you see the same thing with what the first lady is doing."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Aaron Rents Franchisee Fired Jehovah's Witness for Religious Objection to 'Red Shirt Fridays,' Federal Agency Charged
DALLAS – Denton, Texas-based Alliance Rental Center, L.P., which operates several Aaron Rents franchises in North Texas, will pay a former employee $21,500 and furnish other relief to settle a religious discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit (Civil Action No. 3:09-CV-1757-F), Tyler Templeton, a product technician, was fired when he declined to participate in the company's "Red Shirt Friday" dress code, a store practice intended to show support for the U.S. military. Alliance required employees to wear red shirts provided by the company on Fridays as a show of support for the armed forces. As a Jehovah's Witness, it is Templeton's religious belief that he is not to express opinions about government matters, including military affairs. The EEOC said that Templeton informed his supervisors about his religious beliefs and his observance of neutrality on issues of war, including military efforts, but was reprimanded for not complying with the Friday dress code. The EEOC further charged that company management disregarded Templeton's requests that he be excused from that particular aspect of the dress code, and fired him shortly thereafter.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits religious discrimination and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to employees' and applicants' sincerely held religious beliefs as long as this does not pose an undue hardship. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
"This is a positive outcome for all parties involved, and it is our hope that the company will be successful going forward as a result of the changes called for in this settlement agreement," said EEOC Trial Attorney Meaghan Shepard.
In addition to the payment to Templeton, the consent decree settling the suit requires the company to update its employee handbook to include a new complaint procedure and a statement of the company's awareness of its legal obligation to accommodate an employee's religious beliefs. The company will also provide training to its managers on the laws enforced by the EEOC, post a notice of non-discrimination on employee bulletin boards, and notify the EEOC each time it receives a request for religious accommodation from one of its employees during the term of the agreement.
Regional Attorney Robert A. Canino of the EEOC's Dallas District Office, said, "This is not a case about an employee's patriotism, but rather about the accommodation of an employee's religious freedoms under Title VII. If this franchisee had not been so determined to force its color scheme on Mr. Templeton despite his religious beliefs, it could have very easily avoided a federal law enforcement action."
In Fiscal Year 2009, religious discrimination charge filings with the EEOC and state/local agencies nationwide rose 3 percent from the previous year, to 3,386.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Department of Revenue News Release
January 07, 2010Des Peres, Nixa and South (St. Louis) County License Office Management Contracts Awarded
JEFFERSON CITY - New agents have been named for three local motor vehicle and license offices after bidders used a new process to submit proposals on how they would operate the offices.
"The reformed bidding process is straightforward," said Gov. Jay Nixon, who implemented the system when he became Governor. "Anyone can submit a bid, and the bids are evaluated by professional staff at the Department of Revenue. Unlike the old system, this process is transparent, and the bids are available for public inspection."
The three offices awarded today are in Des Peres, Nixa and the South County License Office in St. Louis County. All three offices will remain at their current locations.
Bidders have the option of returning a portion of an office's revenues to the state. All three winning bidders have opted to return some of their revenues. The estimated amount of money that will be returned to the state in the first contract year from the 172 offices that have been awarded so far under the new bidding process is $949,169.
Ryker Enterprises, Inc. has been selected as the new agent for the Des Peres License Office, which is located at 1080 Old Des Peres Rd. The corporation's bid was one of six submitted, and a 5 percent ($16,130) return to the state was included. The business is associated with Danah Lewis of Eureka, who has several years of experience as manager and agent for the West County License Office. Ryker was also awarded the Chesterfield License Office in December.
The Nixa License Office has been awarded to a new agent, Alternative Opportunities, Inc. of Springfield. The not-for-profit corporation provides a variety of comprehensive services, including job placement and assistance for people with disabilities. The corporation's winning bid was one of two submitted, and a 5 percent ($9,931) return to state was included in the proposal. It was also recently awarded the Carthage and Farmington license offices. The Nixa office is located at 214-A Village Center Rd.
The Lavin Co., LLC is the new agent for the South County Office. The office is located at 27 Ronnie's Plaza, near the intersection of South Lindbergh Boulevard and Baptist Church Road. The company is associated with Patrick J. "Jim" Murphy and his son, James W. Murphy, both of St. Louis County. The Lavin Co. was also awarded the management contract for the Affton License Office in October. The winning bid for the South County office was one of five submitted, and it includes an 8 percent ($36,783) return to the state.
Details about changes in office operations, if any, will be announced by the agents.
Although Gov. Nixon authorized the Missouri Department of Revenue to implement the new bidding system a year ago, it didn't become part of state law until legislation was signed by the Governor this past summer. The new law was overwhelmingly approved by both Republican and Democratic members of the Missouri Legislature.
Of the 172 offices awarded so far, 97 have gone to incumbents, groups associated with incumbent agents or interim agents. Seventy-five of the offices have been awarded to new agents. There are 183 offices statewide.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said the evaluation of the bids is very thorough.
"A review team evaluates each aspect of the bids - everything from customer service to the location of the proposed office," she said. "After the team makes its recommendation, it is reviewed by senior department management, and then reviewed again by the Office of Administration to make sure that proper bidding procedures have been followed."
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, issuance of titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.

How to Treat Cuts and Wounds in Chickens
If you find a bleeding chicken in your coop, or if you suspect a chicken's skin has been cut or torn, it's important to treat the bird quickly. Chicken skin is thin and tears easily, and bleeding wounds are very attractive to other chickens. Whether the chicken caught on something or was attacked by a predator, skin injuries need immediate attention.
For shallow wounds, wash the area with hot water and soap and gently pat dry, or clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide.
If the wound continues to bleed, use styptic powder or pressure to stop it.
Flush the wounds with hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or betadine.
Place the chicken in a clean, separate area and check the wounds for infection several times a day.
If infection sets in, clean the wounds two to three times daily.
If the chicken can't reach the area with its beak and the weather is warm, apply a wound dressing to prevent flies from laying eggs on the wound.
The outlook isn't very good with deep punctures caused by animals. Keep the chicken warm and quiet to prevent shock. If the chicken is very valuable to you, take it to a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Graeme McDowell hugged the US Open trophy tightly after landing his first Major title in California - and toasted the start of his career.
Two weeks after winning the Celtic Manor Welsh Open, the 30 year old from Portrush, Northern Ireland, was the victor of a last-round war of attrition at Pebble Beach, defeating France's Gregory Havret by one stroke at level par and surviving the rigorous challenge of a US Open set-up better than fellow contenders including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els.
And as McDowell added his name to the list of champions, not least former Pebble Beach winners Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite and current World Number One Woods, he said he felt a new chapter opening for him after eight years as a professional on The European Tour.
"There's not too many bad golfers on this trophy," McDowell said. "And to join an elite list of names, I mean, careers are defined by Major Championships and my career's off and running today.
"It's been a special few weeks. To win in Wales and to come here and win, I can't describe how I feel.
"It's a surreal feeling for me right now but I feel ready to go.
"I'm playing the golf of my life right now and to pick up this trophy, I don't know, I'm not sure how much partying I'm going to do over the next three months.
"Probably I should sober up pre-Ryder Cup at some point, but I'm looking forward to celebrating this one and it's a cool feeling."
McDowell had been the 36-hole leader at Pebble Beach but started the final round three strokes behind American Dustin Johnson after losing a third-round duel with the big hitter.
Johnson, though, folded quickly on the last day, triple-bogeying the second hole and then double-bogeying the third as the Northern Irishman played steadily, not dropping a shot until the ninth.
And even as he began to unravel a little, so too were Woods, Mickelson and Els, one by one falling off the pace until McDowell went to the last with a one-shot lead over Havret.
As he watched from the 18th fairway, Havret missed a birdie putt on the famous par-five closing hole, instead taking par and leaving McDowell to get up and down for victory.
He laid up his second shot to 100 yards from the hole, pitched onto the green and two-putted from 20 feet to seal a Major at his 19th attempt, the first European to win a US Open since Tony Jacklin 40 years prior and the second Portrush man to win a Major after 1947 Open winner Fred Daly.
"It was a great day," he said. I stuck to my game plan, did my job.
"I bogeyed nine and 10, and for the first time I had a look up at the leaderboard walking off 10, and I saw I was two in front.
"I really played good on the back nine, made some great swings, hit some really nice putts.
"And I'm sure Greg's disappointed - bogeyed 17, didn't birdie the last.
"When I saw him not birdie 18, I had my decision made. I laid it up, and obviously took my five, and they gave me this thing," he said, still holding the trophy.
"I couldn't believe it. I think I've died and gone to heaven for sure.
"This can't be really real and I don't think this will ever sink in.
"It's a very special feeling to pick this trophy up on the 18th green (of) one of the most special golf courses on the planet.
"To join the list of names, Tom Kite, Tom Watson, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus. I can't believe I'm standing here as a Major Champion. It's an amazing feeling."

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE and AlprazolamPatientsVille
CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Symptoms and Causes
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes it hard for you to breathe. The two main types are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The main cause of COPD is long-term exposure to substances that irritate and damage the lungs. This is usually cigarette smoke. Air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust can also cause it.
At first, COPD may cause no symptoms or only mild symptoms. As the disease gets worse, symptoms usually become more severe. They include
Doctors use lung function tests, imaging tests, and blood tests to diagnose COPD. There is no cure. Treatments may relieve symptoms. They include medicines, oxygen therapy, surgery, or a lung transplant. Quitting smoking is the most important step you can take to treat COPD.

The phrase 'World Heritage Site' conjures up images of some of the world's most beautiful places – sites considered to be of Outstanding Universal Value because of their natural or cultural significance.
Some 8 per cent of the world's protected areas, including national parks, nature reserves and community conserved areas are World Heritage Sites.
IUCN provides advice on natural World Heritage Sites to UNESCO's World Heritage Committee. Later this month delegates from IUCN will attend the Committee's annual meeting in Brasilia. Nominations for new sites will be considered and the state of conservation of existing sites examined.
Tim Badman is IUCN's Head of World Heritage. He explains the importance of World Heritage Sites, how they're evaluated and how they help conserve biodiversity.

A slight earthquake was registered in East Texas near the Louisiana border, four days after a sharper shock struck the area.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports a 2.7 magnitude quake was registered about 1:30 p.m. Sunday just over a miles south of the town of Timpson, 152 miles east-southeast of Dallas.
A dispatcher for the Shelby County Sheriff's Office in nearby Center said no damage or injuries were reported.
A moderate, 4.3-magnitude earthquake had rattled the area early Thursday. A Shelby County sheriff's dispatcher that morning reported fallen dishes and broken windows from the quake, but the only injury was an elderly woman who fell out of bed and cut her arm.

Saints quarterback Derrick Eichele gave St. Mary's the go-ahead score with a 1-yard plunge with 7:10 to go in the game. Eichele also hooked up with wideout Tim Olson for a 28-yard scoring strike in the second quarter. Luke Shafer led the Saints with 166 yards rushing.

While I was off driving hours through the snow last night (why? well, for my job, of course), the blogs and those things I don't pay attention to (re: forums/Beckett) were flipping out about 2012 Topps and squirrel cards.
It was enough to make me stop at Walmart at 3:15 a.m. on the way home to see if there was any 2012 Squirrel to sample. But there wasn't, and I made it home alive and without a squirrel post. I was never so relieved on both fronts.
Of course, the best part of partially ignoring this year's cards is focusing on all of those past collecting goals that collected dust while I collected cards that I didn't even want in my collection. (That's what new cards are good for -- sweeping under the rug all those sets that you haven't finished).
One of those goals was finishing off the 2009 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee set.
For those who weren't collecting in 2009, OPC was a strange set. It appealed to traditional set collectors because it is a 600-card set on traditional cardboard stock with an old-school design and a mix of portrait photos and action shots that reminded people of collecting in the '70s or early '80s.
But it was a bit quirky, too, with some strange photos and oddball decisions that made me both love it and ostracize it. I went from criticizing it (P.S.: I still hate studio shots), to ripping it, to ridiculing it, to declaring my undying love for it and my final declaration to collect the whole darn goofy thing.
And I did.
The final three cards that I needed for the set arrived in the mail over the last few days.
The Cardboard Don supplied Justin No I'm Not Going to Pronounce It, along with several other fine cards that you'll see another time.
GCA supplied the other two cards. A much-loathed studio shot and a guy who did very little for the Dodgers last year.
And with that, '09 OPC is the 24th base set I've completed (I am excluding teams sets and insert sets). In fact, I've already added OPC to the "sets I've completed" list that I wrote up last June. Yup, I haven't finished off a set in that long -- longer in fact.
However, there are a few sets on the horizon that I expect to finish off in the next month or few months. So, look for those.
But before you do that, look at this:
I did this because I like to share.
And because I'm the Mad Scanner.
Anyway, a big, big thanks to anyone who sent me a card for the completion of this set.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled squirrel programming.

DHS Offers Its Unsolicited 'Help' In Securing The Internet Of Things
from the STANDING-BY-TO-TAKE-CREDIT-FOR-ACTIONS-OF-OTHERS dept
It's generally agreed that the state of security for the Internet of Things runs from "abysmal" to "compromised during unboxing." The government -- despite no one asking it to -- is offering to help out… somehow. DHS Assistant Secretary for Cyber Policy Robert Silvers spoke at the Internet of Things forum, offering up a pile of words that indicates Silvers is pretty cool with the "cyber" part of his title... but not all that strong on the "policy" part.
The industry, according to Silvers, is demanding that IoT security is tackled "from a DHS perspective," meaning a focus on public safety. And then he damned other government departments' efforts with faint praise.
"This is complex stuff, but it's not going to be regulatory or over prescriptive, it's not even going to be highly technical," he argued. "What we're going to be doing is drawing on the best approaches, pulling them together and elevating them to get the public's attention."
Shorter DHS: we're going to take what the private sector and other government agencies have accomplished, print it out on a few pages of DHS letterhead, and call it good. All Silvers is promising is the DHS's insertion into a crowded marketplace of vague ideas, many of them coming from other government agencies.
Even better, Silvers claimed the DHS's intrusion into this overcrowded space won't be "regulatory." This statement arrived shortly before Silvers suggested regulation was on its way.
"We have a small and closing window of time to take decisive and effective action," Silvers said, "the challenge of addressing IoT security is outweighed only by the greater challenge of patching, or building on the security of already deployed systems. While some of this may sound like common sense, it's an undeniable fact that some companies are not being held accountable," Silvers said.
"Companies not being held accountable" sounds like the sort of thing the government would feel compelled to fix with regulation. As Kieran McCarthy of The Register points out, the DHS seems mostly concerned with ensuring it's cut in on the cybersecurity action.
The DHS's current plan seems to be little more than shoving their foot in the door: Silvers could not give a timetable for the principles, or even a consultation plan. He didn't highlight specific areas of concern, or point to the direction the DHS is expected to take.
Perpetually-increasing budgets are on the line here. Every agency wants a piece of the "cyber" pie, whether on the offensive or defensive side. The DHS is no different, even though its track record on cybersecurity is mostly terrible. (Its track record on "homeland" security isn't that fantastic either…) Its Election Cybersecurity task force is composed of state politicians, rather than security experts. And the Government Accountability Office has previously noted the DHS has no plans in place to protect government buildings from cyberattacks on access and control points -- despite having had nearly 15 years to do so.
In front of a group of professionals actually putting together best practices for the Internet of Things, the DHS has announced its willingness to coattail-ride its way into the cybersecurity future -- one promising to be full of government intrusion and steady paychecks. And, like others in the government who feel the government should do nothing more than make demands of the private sector, Silvers encouraged the forum attendees to "nerd harder." Or, at least, faster.
Silvers issued a call of action to attendees, urging them to "accelerate everything" they're working on and tackle issues that pop up in cybersecurity in real time.
Thanks, bossman. There's nothing security professionals like more than being told how to do their jobs by government agencies without coherent future plans or the ability to secure anything more than a pension.

In the spring of 2010, St. Joseph Hospital opened the nation's first true Hybrid Operating Room for the treatment of heart and vascular disorders in adult and pediatric patients. The new Hybrid Operating Room features Artis Zeego, the first multi-axis imaging system that uses robotic technology and 3-D imaging software to reconstruct high-resolution images of the heart and vascular system.
When current and future catheter-based technology is combined with the advanced technology offered by the Zeego imaging system, patients who were previously non-surgical candidates - primarily those over the age of 80, as well as those who have had multiple heart and vascular surgeries - will be able to have a heart valve replaced and/or repaired.
St. Joseph Hospital's Hybrid Operating Room is a fully equipped surgical suite designed to handle the most complex adult and pediatric open heart surgeries, as well as minimally invasive procedures. What sets the Hybrid Operating Room apart from traditional operating rooms is Zeego, a multi-axis, robotic, high-resolution, 3-D imaging system that utilizes DynaCT software to reconstruct dynamic images of a patient's heart and vascular system in real time. Zeego's virtually limitless freedom of movement and sharp 3-D images offer pinpoint accuracy of fine details.
This precise imaging allows surgeons to open blocked arteries through catheter-based procedures, rather than open procedures. However, because the Hybrid Operating Room is a fully equipped surgical suite, surgeons can immediately convert from minimally invasive to open bypass surgery if needed, without relocating the patient or referring the case to a new surgical team.
Utilizing the Hybrid Operating Room's advanced technology, heart and vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and interventional cardiologists work together as highly efficient medical teams. This provides the maximum level of comfort and safety for patients since treatment is performed in the same operating room, at the same time, by members of the same medical team.
For the St. Joseph Hospital Heart and Vascular Center, the Hybrid Operating Room will result in:
Patients requiring the following therapies have access to the latest technology offered in the Hybrid Operating Room:
By utilizing the high resolution, 3-D imaging technology offered in the Hybrid Operating Room, St. Joseph Hospital's highly skilled medical teams provide the safest and most effective heart and vascular treatment available today for adult and pediatric patients.

You spoke. We listened. We know that you look forward to Solid Edge University each year, but that a single location meant that it was difficult for some of you to attend. Based on this feedback, we thought about how to make a better experience for you, our users. Since the close of Solid Edge University 2016, we've been testing out new ways to bring you everything you loved about previous years' events, in a format that makes it easier for our users, across the US and around the world, to participate.
Now, with support from our partners, we are very pleased to announce that we are expanding our Solid Edge University program globally, with multiple one-day Solid Edge University events to be held around the globe, including additional US locations.
Same great content. Easier to attend. These global Solid Edge University events will offer more Solid Edge customers the opportunity to learn first-hand what's new in Solid Edge, improve their productivity, and network with other users. Solid Edge University events provide both new and experienced Solid Edgers countless ways to hone their skills, and to connect with Siemens staff, local partners and expert users.
Official details on dates and locations will be posted soon. We're looking forward to seeing you!
Richard Runnells
Director of Product Marketing, Solid Edge
So I'm not going to be able to network with my peers because they are going to be attending a different SEU?
As a presenter, I'm going to have to travel to more than 1 event in order to present? Or are the events going to have different content? Is the Development Team going to be present at each event?
This seems very confusing for content providers, presenters, and vendors, as well as attendees.
What did the roll-out events used to be called, and why did Siemens stop doing those? Why will this be any different than that experiment?
I understand where you're coming from @SeanCresswell. With the potential to have a SE event in New Zealand, it's easy to get excited. But, realistically, it's New Zealand. No one is traveling that far regardless of how beautiful it is there.
Thank you for your comments @swertel. Let me try and address your concerns.
Our goal is to provide the SEU experience to more Solid Edgers via increased global events, including more US based regional events. Through feedback from users who do not attend SEU, the number one reason given is cost. Typically that falls into two categories; cost related to travel and cost related to time away from the office.
Also I'd like thank you for your contributions as a presenter at previous SEU events. I encourage you to continue that trend as we move forward. Select an event (or events) that you wish to present at and we'll doing everything we can to help accommodate you.
We continue to work with our partners and vendors to ensure these events reach as many users as possible. I think what you'll find (and our recent studies have proven), is that we'll be able reach more users on a global and US basis than we have been able do in recent years in a single event.
We will be posting the locations and dates soon.
I just priced a flight from Phoenix to Auckland. Not only would it cost about US$2000, but I'd also have a layover in LAX. Yuck.
I'm afraid I won't be making it to the New Zealand SEU this year.
I see a lot of pluses and minuses. We will see how it goes and give feedback then.
It is likely to reach more people, but some presenters may be unlikely to repeat in multiple locations. Has there been any talk of capturing sessions on video and making them available online to the community?
This would be a dream come true if one of the locations is in India. I have been pitching for this with Siemens PLM for years about conducting a SEU out here with a huge user base and plenty of people willing to present and participate.
This will lead to democratization of the event which was largely centered in just one part of the world and it seems that Siemens has realized they have a substantial user base spread across the globe, I believe they were waiting for a critical mass of users to be achieved for local events.
Although opportunity to meet in person is one of the top attractions of SEU, the greater goal of knowledge sharing can still be achieved by ultimately sharing all presentation videos online.

You say "Now, with support from our partners, we are very pleased to announce..."
Can you please expand on who "our partners" are. Are these VARs, 3rd party vendors, PLM World?
What happens to Developer day?
What happens to the Data Management workshop?
What happens to Product Round Tables?
Where do the 1-5 seat users get to interact with the 50+ Seat count users?
Where are the networking times?
No way the content and value will come from a 1 day event!
For those of us who have been to the REAL SEU events... Calling a 1 day even SEU feels pretty silly.
Watching and waitng to see what shall come, but awfully disapointed.
@breving, Productivity Summits -- that's what they were called.
The Phoenix Productivity Summit wasn't amazing, but any definition of the term.
I echo @Johnson_BigMatt concerns. I also acknoledge that the prior regional Productivity Summits were well attnded.
Is the idea of an annual national (international?) event dead or will there still be one and what will that be?
Concerns of multiple occurences of the 1 day event:
In the jest of "local" or regional" ...
To honor the legacy of our beloved SEU...
Might I suggest a name change???
" SECC " - Not to be confused with Teamcenter integration "SEEC"... BUT " SECC "
Wait for it… Wait for it... ...
SECC = Solid Edge Community College
Sorry all, I couldnt resist...
I'm now seeing posts from Solid Edge on Facebook for SEU Greenville.
link to SIS event: http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Best-of-Solid-Edge-University-SE-.html?soid=1116651795120&aid=tPS...
Based on this posting it seems like this is simply a ST10 launch event.
also, see that this is called "BEST OF" SEU -NOT- SEU... but it seems that the BEST parts are missing???
Can you please answer some of the questions that have been asked here by myself and other users and give us a more detailed agenda track.
Also, can you share a calendar and loaction so that we can plan, or plan otherwise...
please and thank you....
@MLombard, it appears that @RichardRunnells is not getting Tags from the blog posting.
Would you mind letting him know that since his posting of this blog that the user community would like some dialog in this regard.
Thank you...
I'll make sure this is seen.
SEU17 Marketing Strategy...
So twitter is active with today's (May 23) event, calling it Solid Edge University in Greenville.
Yet, I've recieved nothing about any SEU events. How do I know there will be one in my region? What if I can't attend that one? Will I get a notice about other regions so I can potentially go there instead?
@swertel Scott, everthing is an endless loop back to this Blog or the ST10 whats new knoweledge article...
nice 'ey
You noticed that, too, @Johnson_BigMatt? Using a link back to a topic that doesn't have the details we're looking for is not an answer to my questions. So that's why I put them here in the comments.
@swertel et al,
Via this link: https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/about_us/events_webinars/index.cfm?product=Solid Edge&sortBy=default&start=0
I see there is a SEU in Brazil scheduled... TOMORROW
Community members, my apologies for the delay in responding to your comments and questions. As suggested above, I wasn't receiving notifications (tags) when comments were being made to this thread (now fixed).
To address some of the questions raised:
Please keep in mind, our goal is to expose more users to Solid Edge University on a regional and global basis than was previously possible in a US centric (primarilly midwest based) event. We feel that moving to more regional events in the US and country based events for the rest of the world will accomplish this goal and will help drive greater awareness and involvement with our customers.
I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
Thank you.
Can you provide the link to the "SEU webpage"? I can't seem to find it.
For planning purposes, should we read into this that there are no plans to do a multi-day event in the near future or that would require significant travel planning? Outside of perhaps a Developer Day in Huntsville (which would work for me).
Thank you.
Carl Breving (@breving)
The Solid Edge University webage I was referring too is currently being redesigned and content updated in support of our expanded Solid Edge University global program. I'll post a note here as soon as it up and running.
A little late to the party, but I don't see the SEU webpage being up and running yet. Honestly, a one day event is of little use to me. I come for the classes on the newest version, not the dog and pony show. A one day event does not leave any time for training classes of any real use after you get thru with the welcome/keynote etc.
You claim some have issues with the amount of time away from the office and/or the travel cost. Travel cost is a sunk cost. It will cost almost as much to pay mileage for an event 300 miles away as to fly to an event 1000 miles away. Top tip - hold the event in a major airline hub - cuts flight costs for all who fly. Next tip - host the event at a decent hotel away from the downtown area - one that doesn't have the gall to charge for wifi and parking on top of their $200+ room rate. Parking and wifi are free at fleabags, not to mention almost all decent midlevel hotels.
As far as time away from the office goes, that one doesn't hold water either. I can justify 5 days out for 3 days of training easier than I can justify 2-1/2 or 3 days out for one day of presentation with no real hands on time of any value. The value equation simply isn't there. Sorry, but I would much rather spend $1500 for some value added training, than $1000 for essentially a show. For those who cannot get away for that long, your VAR should be able to assist you with some training.
If this is the way SEU is going, I will spend my money travelling to my VAR or another one to take some classes. I can tour a brewery on my own time. I appreciate the networking opportunities, but those will vaporize as well if the event is this short.
Competition in the Cad market is tough. I'm constantly fighting my users and suppliers on why Solid Edge is a better option than Solidworks, Inventor or Por-E.
Marketing strategies make a huge difference. We users all know that Solid Edge is better, but casual users and specially new Cad users don't. They are constantly bombarded with excellent marketing materials, including awesome events (like SEU). Discontinuing SEU (this is what I see is happening), will hurt SE more than you thing. This is the only event where the whole community gets together. Where we can see and interact with 3th party applications. An opportunity for SE to shine in the CAD market with first class speakers. I believe this will take SE back to the dark.
I totally agreed with @JTRANOKE, I rather spend $1,500 in an event I can justify to my superiors than a few hundred in an unjustifiable event just for fun.
A few more comments. Making it a one day regional event reduces it to a highly focused trade show. It is hard for someone in Engineering to justify money to attend a trade show focused on something he has already purchased. My money for attending SEU comes from the Training budget, so again, where is the training?
If part of this is an attempt by Siemens to save money, fine. Hold it in Huntsville. That is reasonably accessible. Or hold it in Atlanta, but maybe somewhere outside of I-285 near the airport. Willing to bet it is much cheaper than Midtown like the last time it was in Atlanta. Easy for air travel, and downtown Atlanta is easily accessible by MARTA if someone wants to be a tourist while they are there. Do the networking events at the hotel, instead of the tour busses and local attractions. The entertainment is the gingerbread and while nice, is not necessary. The training and networking are the meat and potatos and that is what most of us are there for.
My other comment concerns the fact that these events seem to already be happening without notification or publishing on the site. Had I wanted to go, I missed SEU Greenville SC without an email notification or any SEU 2017 Website even existing. Got a Siemens email with a RECAP after it was over. So I guess if you are not on the hosting VAR's email subscription, you aren't going to know about it. And that was an easy 5 hour drive from me. Looks like Ally PLM has just announced their event in Cincinnati since my last post above, or Google missed it last time... Still no notification or website from Siemens/SEU group. This whole transition is being so poorly handled, or not handled at all that it is just pathetic. These events may be very nice events, but from the published agendas that I have hunted down on google, they are NOT SEU. No mention of "hands on" sessions or real training. I can watch demos all day long from my desk. The "U" in SEU is University. Please bring back the real SEU.
So much for the SEU Website...
VARs are already establishing and publishing events.
I got my email from Ally about this one. No published agenda yet. Cincinnati is a bit of a drive (7 hours) for a one day event for me, and a horrible flight - takes as long to get there flying as it does driving... Yeah its cheap at $50 but with no designated hotel (at this point) the networking is out the window. Where will everyone be the night before or the night after? I just don't see these as being all that useful, except for people who are considering switching to Edge, or looking at add-ins, as I imagine it will be loaded with salesmen selling productivity tools.
SEU has been changed from a learning event into a wine tasting. A few sips but no opportunity to dive into what you like. Just an opportunity to purchase and take home....
Interesting that the first words were "you spoke, we listened". Is anyone listening now?
Guys, I hear your frustrations and we are working to roll out the updated SEU page with dates and locations of upcoming SEU events. We are targeting having it up and live by mid to late next week. Thank you for your patience.
@RichardRunnells - Any news on the possibility of a larger - multiday perhaps - hands on training event? Something a little more than Demo's? I enjoy the demo's, but I didn't learn how to drive from a powerpoint! It is much more effective to grab the mouse and joystick and go to town with Doug Stainbrook and Dan Vinson et al telling me what I am doing wrong! Does not have to be nearly as fancy as previous events, I don't care if you hold it in a barn, honestly. Just bring back the real deal. And don't forget the developer days and roundtables. Although I am not a developer I have heard that the developer days are of tremendous value to those who are. And if the roundtables go away, I guess the software updates/versions/improvements will be totally based on what Siemens thinks the end user needs, not what the end users KNOW they need...
Will all of the events be on the site at the beginning or will you add throughout the year.
If they aren't all known, I'm not sure how to figure out how far to travel versus waiting for something closer that might not come.
New SEU17 info: https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/about_us/events_webinars/solid-edge-university/index.sh...
I started a new Forum thread bcz this blog post gets no updates or views to the home page of the communiyt.
please try to add new comments and continue this dissuion here: https://community.plm.automation.siemens.com/t5/Solid-Edge-Forum/NEW-SEU17-INFO/m-p/416748
This is the first I've seen of the mult-event SEU and it looks like the Greenville event was held a month ago without any notification - from anyone - Solid Edge or my VAR! This thread has been going on for over a month and I stumbled on this by chance without any notification. What has happened to the marketing department? I posted in another thread that I'm in a wait and see mode. Well, I'm seeing enough to make me nervous, disappointed and a little upset. I've been to several local meetings around Atlanta including the Productivity Summits - (pre SEU 2011 where things seemed to have gotten back on track). SEU is a completely different experience. Being able to attend classes and get in depth information is not going to happen in a one day event - you might as well have a webinar or send out links to Youtube videos. At this point, I don't think you've been listening to users. Why don't you go ahead and tell us what the real situation is and not some spin. It has omninous looks of the EDS days.
As mentioned earlier today the updated Solid Edge University web page is now live and can be found here: Solid Edge University web page.
The registration links will be updated as the registration web pages go live. Thanks again for your patience.
We use to send 7-8 guys to SEU, every year. So far it was worth, mostly because the hands on TRAINING and the round tables with Siemens. It is sad to see that it is gone. After reviewing the agenda of past and future events, I'm canceling this item from my budget. We are not to spend that money for a sales presentation. The new format may be good for new users, but definitely not good for my "experimented " team.
Bad move Siemens.
I normally just hidden in the shadows of these fourms but siemens seems to think that face time with customers is not worth it for them anymore. For someone that is located in a smaller city in canada(Winnipeg) there is little to no networking available for solid edge. Also being a full time automation developer using solid edge the only real time to get face to face time to talk with other skilled developers was at solid edge univsersity. And to be 100% percent honest if it wasn't for the developer day back in 2012 i wouldn't be doing the work i do today. Now with a team of 4 engineers doing nothing but automation programming work. The developer day was something that i was hoping they would get exposed to. It's one thing to do work based on your companies requirements but its a whole other thing to see and be exposed to how others are using solid edge. This exposure also helped my team support the 90+ engineers we have on staff. As for having the solid edge university site up kudos to you except that the canadian event is already over with. So that was a slight failure on your part and the canadian VARs. I am not sure who you've been talking to about how these events are planned but i would like to say that they are wrong. I would bet there are more people such as my self that dont enjoy or feel the need to speak up in these fourms. I hope this is not a sign of the approach that siemens is planning for the future of their customer experience.
Wow there is a lot to think about here.
But I thought that Siemens PLM multi-day event was actually PLM World event. @RichardRunnells Does this mean that we will be seeing more Solid Edge events at PLM World? It was my understanding that PLM World venue was to expensive for the normal SE user base customers. But then there are the RUGs (Regional User Groups). I know that the MidWest RUG usually has a SE track.
Granted it isn't well attended in my area. Why? Easy. Lack of communication. Now don't go thinking that is a VAR issue. VARs only know about their own accounts. I know from a Siemens side if they send information out the messages get sent to the single contact on the Master Configuration. It has been my experience that that information is usually an IT person (who could care less and gets 100 different emails a day from "vendors") or the information is out of date and goes to dead mailbox. Hence the word doesn't get out to the right people.
If Siemens wants to get the word out...then lets first start at the core and work your way out. Contact the right people.
Very disappointing that SEU has been turned into a 1-day update meeting!! We look forward to attending SEU to network with the development teams and other users. It's hard to justify the expenses to management for a 1-day meeting. Siemens has been dropping the ball on supporting Solid Edge and now they are dropping the ball on user networking. Just disappointing!!!

No CBA negotiations scheduled before deadlineby Dan Rosen
With hours remaining before the deadline for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement between the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said Saturday no formal negotiating sessions are scheduled.
"We spoke today and determined that there was no point in convening a formal bargaining session in light of the fact that neither side is in a position to move off of its last proposal," Daly said. "I'm sure we will keep in touch in the coming days and schedule meetings to the extent they might be useful or appropriate. We are sorry for where we are. Not what we hoped or expected."
If there is no deal by the midnight deadline Saturday, the players will be locked out.
Commissioner Gary Bettman has said the League's owners are not prepared to operate another season under the economics of the expiring CBA.
The sides last met on Wednesday, where each side tabled its latest proposal for creating a new CBA.

This year, Queen of Peace and Our Lady of Hope again finished 1-2 and returned to this year's finals, with the Lady Wildcats looking for a different result.
Our Lady of Hope jumped to an early 2-0 lead, but Queen of Peace answered with one run in the bottom of the 4th inning and rallied with three more runs in the bottom of the 5th to take a 4-2 lead. Hope tied the game in the top of the 7th inning thanks to some Queen of Peace fielding errors, sending the game into extra innings.
With each team allowed to start the eighth inning with a runner at second base, Hope had the first opportunity to score. Christina Cordero was pitching a great game, even though Hope was able to capitalize on four unearned runs. She struck out the first batter and got the next batter to pop up to Molly Bell at second base, who flicked the ball to shortstop and sister Megan Bell to turn a double play.
This time the Lady Wildcats would not be denied, as Sabrina Chong hit a grounder to to third, but a wild throw allowed the runner at second, Racquel Sanchez, to sprint toward home. She outran the Hope fielder to home plate to give the Lady Wildcats a 5-4 win and with it, the 2014 CYO Bantam Softball Diocesan Championship.

Mikala Dwyer
(Australia 1959 – )
- Location
- Not on display
- Further information
Many of Mikala Dwyer's seemingly abstract sculptural forms and her more directly representational sculptures originate in her interest in shelter, the home and urban structures. This interest often focuses on such primary manifestations of the desire for habitation as a child's urge to construct cubby houses, small domains in which children exert control over their environment and the meanings of things. Dwyer's work is characterised by a playful and excessive accumulation of elements, and she has created installations out of fabric, play dough, stockings, felt, vinyl, plastic, organza and nail varnish. Her choice of materials has been identified as feminine and by extension as a subtle feminist critique of recent art history. However her teasing references to modernist abstraction, the more organic forms of minimalism and to pop art (such as the saggy Kenneth Noland-like target forms and Oldenburg-esque baggy vinyl shapes in 'Hanging eyes') are an acknowledgment of antecedents rather than necessarily having a critical agenda.
The room installation 'iffytown' is comprised of four components – 'un', 'Hanging eyes', 'IOU' and 'iffytown' – which can also be exhibited individually. The installation was conceived as a schematic urban environment, but one that embodies imaginary and psychological responses to the idea of a city rather than to any town planning reality. 'un' is a wall piece in which a roughly modelled town has its own inverted double hanging underneath, a doppelganger which echoes the scene we see on top and seems to literalise the idea of a city having a hidden other life just beneath the surface. A cluster of colourful PVC plumbing pipes entitled 'iffytown' rises up from the gallery floor and hangs down from the ceiling. Dwyer's awareness of the contingent and even inadequate nature of her urban enterprise is suggested in the title; however the assemblage of colourful tubes engages in a form of childlike substitution in which the shapes and their arrangement stand in as schematic forms for dwellings, skyscrapers and public spaces.
'Hanging eyes' is a disembodied form which oversees this enterprise, a combination of body bag and vaguely erotic anthropomorphic object. The soft sculpture eyes sag from the wall in an abject manner, seemingly undertaking a surveillance of the rest of the installation. The cubby house shelter 'IOU' has a mirrored lid propped up against it. Spilling out from the cubby are three-dimensional letters with openings, add-ons and furniture inside. The phrase 'IOU' has appeared in a number of Dwyer's works and if, as American artist Vito Acconci has said, 'public space is leaving home',1 the IOU acknowledges much more than a debt to the recent history of sculptural art. Dwyer's simple abbreviation enters into a humble exchange with the audience, suggesting the importance of bringing private associative imaginary realms into public institutions.

Biggest dynasty: The Fairview swim team captures its 14th consecutive Jefferson Swim League title. The 15-team league met July 30-31 at the UVA Aquatics & Fitness Center for its annual championship meet where coach J.J. Bean's experienced squad retained control of the local waters for another year. Better luck next time to the rest of Central Virginia... The Daily Progress reports Fairview is losing 15 swimmers to graduation.
Biggest show: A returning group of UVA football standouts treats faithful Wahoo fans to an enjoyable evening at the Charlottesville Fashion Square Mall August 4. According to the Progress, linebacker Darryl Blackstock, guard Elton Brown, quarterback Marques Hagans, safety Jermaine Hardy, and tight end Heath Miller all contribute to the fun.
Best streak: The Baltimore Orioles suddenly come together to complete their best home stand in 35 years. The O's win seven straight as they complete a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners, and a four-game sweep of the Texas Rangers.
Worst weather: The World Golf Association officially designates Charlottesville a First Tee Chapter August 5 to benefit local children who haven't had the pleasure of learning about the game. Despite soggy conditions caused by day-long rains at the Meadowcreek course, Charlottesville's inspired youngsters find time to tee off, chip, and even sink a few putts. Full story reported in the August 6 Progress.
Most bittersweet victory: Joe Gibbs returns to the Redskins head coaching position to win his first game in 11 years on a dramatic last-second field goal August 9. The Skins' emotions quickly subside though as left tackle Jon Jansen is lost for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Gibbs told the Washington Post that the team has a lot of work to do before the season officially opens next month.
Worst of times for horses: A Chesapeake thoroughbred filly is euthanized August 3 as Virginia's first victim of Eastern Equine Encephalitis. This rare mosquito-borne virus is related to the better known West Nile, which has claimed the life of a local Albemarle County horse and two others in Virginia this year, according to the AP.
Most inconsistent ballplayers: The International Baseball League's Richmond Braves suffer seven straight losses to temporarily lose first place in the South Division. The Braves recover over the weekend to win three straight however, retaking control of the division with a 3-0 road victory over the rival Durham Bulls.
Best comeback: Little League Baseball's 12 & Under Charlottesville All-Stars take home first place in the five-team Waynesboro tournament. After dropping their first game to the Keswick Stables, the resilient group of McIntire youngsters rallies to win five consecutive games including a championship victory over the undefeated Stables. Full story in the August 4 Progress.

Monday August 16-Wednesday, August 18
Orioles Baseball v. Oakland Athletics 7:05pm-It may be a long shot, but the O's recent hot streak has the birds dreaming of a miracle run toward a wildcard playoff spot. Enjoy a summer evening at the big league ballpark with good seats (prices $9-55) available at Baltimore's Camden Yards.

I am delighted you want to check out my personal website, however
please talk to my agents about commissions as they handle all of that for me.
I look forward to working with you.
Hailing from Monaghan in Ireland, Donough O'Malley is now based in Bristol where he works as an illustrator and storyboard artist for a range of publishers, broadcasters and production houses. His graphic, retro style is equally at home in children's books and magazine spreads.
Donough loves the challenge of creating visuals for his clients, and the sense of freedom and independence he gets from being a freelance artist. Some of his favourite fellow illustrators are Steve Simpson and Peter Donnelly – also from Ireland – but he recently realised that one of his biggest influences was The History of the 20th Century. Published by Purnell in the 1970s, Donough devoured its illustrated episodes in history as a boy and it shows through a little in his work today.
As well as drawing, he enjoys badminton and it fascinates him that the woman pirate Grace O'Malley is in his family tree. He's travelled a great deal in South America and Asia, and now has his sights set on Europe.
Give us a few details and we'll get back

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Today's rally rebuffed all the market's objections in spectacular fashion, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday, showing just how wrong the bears were during the market selloff seven days ago. Cramer said that just a week ago the markets were worried about a slowing U.S. economy, but today saw a good durable goods number along with price increases in both containerboard and steel, two very economically sensitive commodities. He said the transports confirmed the data by rallying hard on the news, so much so that Cramer even recommended all three major airlines -- United Continental ( UAL), Delta Air Lines ( DAL - Get Report) and US Airways ( LCC). The markets were also worried about Italy, noted Cramer, but JPMorgan Chase ( JPM - Get Report), the large international bank, shrugged off those fears. Meanwhile, Joy Global ( JOY) told investors that demand is not slowing in China, another fear last week. The list of worries included a weak U.S. consumer, but that was rebuffed by just about all of retail heading higher Wednesday. Even the restaurants were strong, noted Cramer. Housing continues to be strong, as Toll Brothers ( TOL - Get Report) was able to make up lost ground from last week as well. Finally, there were worries over the Federal Reserve and the massive government budget cuts known as sequestration. Cramer said Ben Bernanke put the Fed fears to rest, while the defense stocks are soaring in the face of looming budget cuts. Add it all together and Cramer said the bears couldn't have been more wrong when they were in the midst of their panic selling last week.

Michael Kelly Guitars
Since the company began by building acoustic instruments, it's no surprise that acoustic guitars dominate the lineup. Michael Kelly makes a number of different styles, so you can find something perfect for you no matter if you're looking for a dreadnought, arena or folk guitar. They've even got a portable model in the Sojourn 6 Travel Acoustic Guitar, which despite its short scale length, is designed to take standard-pitch tuning so you don't have to transpose your songs to practice and perform on the go.
Although it might seem counter-intuitive at first, Michael Kelly's experience with acoustic guitars is also good news if you like to play an electric model. That's because it gives them the know-how needed to make an outstanding hybrid, and that's just what they've done in the Michael Kelly Hybrid Special Spalted Maple Top Electric Guitar. This instrument's chambered top gives it the tonal versatility to adapt to any musical style, going seamlessly from electric shredding to acoustic warmth. It also supports dual amps, allowing you to split the acoustic and electric pickups. This means that you can use dedicated amplifiers to improve your live performances as well as taking advantage of multiple-channel recording in the studio.
Whether you go for one of Michael Kelly's many acoustic guitars or their less numerous (but every bit as excellent) electrics, you'll definitely be getting an instrument that you can be proud to own. These guitars are accessible to musicians on any budget and at any skill level, putting out great tone for recording and performing alike.

I've tried to stand in the same spot at the corner of our driveway every so often to get a picture of Kristen's tree from roughly the same vantage point. Each season of the past year has brought drastic changes to that little oak. When it was planted early last September, it was green and beautiful. With the gift card in hand (given by some dear friends), the four of us drove to our local nursery and walked up and down each row of Shumard Oak trees. We carefully inspected each one, making sure that we found the "right" one for us...for Kristen. A couple of weeks later, the nursery called and said they would be by to plant it. We had marked out just the right spot in the front yard, easily visible from both the sidelight next to the front door and from our bedroom window (the only windows on the front of the house).
Will was at work the morning the nursery workers showed up to plant the tree. Not wanting him to miss it, I recorded the planting on our video camera. I had to laugh a little as I played it back later. One of the workers just couldn't keep from looking directly at the camera...time and time and time again! He had no idea why I was capturing the planting of a tree on video. Who knows what he thought! I didn't feel the need to share that day, so I recorded and the girls watched with anticipation as the tree settled into its new home on Meadowlark Lane.
Emily wanted Kristen's tree to have just the right marker. She and I searched on the internet and found a company that makes stainless steel tree markers. We were able to add a laser etched photo to the small marker that reads, "In Memory of Kristen." That little marker has weathered well. It gleams in the sunlight and makes me think of Emily as much as it reminds me of Kristen.
Last fall, we watched all the other trees in the neighborhood change to lovely fall colors. Kristen's tree, however, complete with lots of tiny little acorns, stayed green clear through most of October. At the end of that month, its leaves had changed to the most beautiful deep red color. I loved how it looked and decided that it had been worth the wait.
As Thanksgiving approached, the sweet little tree in our front yard lost all of its leaves. Even bare (except for the little acorns that continued to hang on), it was beautiful to me. Each leafless branch held the promise of new life.
Ice crystals decorated the tree in the winter, accentuating every bend, every tiny twig. One cold, sunny winter morning I looked out the sidelight window to see tiny ice crystals that seemed to completely fill the air. I told Emily that it looked like it was "glittering" outside! She commented that maybe God sent those few seconds to me to bring a smile to my face. It was breathtaking.
Just as we waited so long to see the beautiful red leaves in the fall, our little tree seemed to be one of the very last in the neighborhood to leaf out in the spring. By mid-April, we finally saw tiny new leaves beginning to pop out all over the tree. They were velvety red in the center. The sight of them lightened our hearts.
By early May, the beautiful green leaves had filled in, and the tree was as lovely as ever. A ring of pink geraniums decorated the base of the tree just in time for Kristen's birthday. Even through the heat of the summer, the tree (and the geraniums) have thrived.
I expect in another month or so the leaves will begin their colorful change.
Looking back at the photos of Kristen's tree over the seasons of last year brought to mind the words of Ecclesiastes 3:
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
