Studio One is a literary and visual arts publication that began in the spring of 1976. It serves as a way for literary and visual artists to contribute their poetry, short stories, photographs, paintings, drawings, and other means of written or visual artwork.
Although the original funds for Studio One came from the CSB student government, submissions were not limited to the CSB/SJU community and contributions from beyond the campus are common and welcomed.
The first issue provides a brief introduction by the student editor, Claire Rossini, who states that the purpose of Studio One is "to support the members of our Minnesota community dedicated to [art], and to make their art available to those for whom it was made."
Studio One was first published in May 1976. It was originally published twice a year, in spring and fall, but since 1979 it has been an annual publication. It was not published in 1981, but since 1982 it has been continually published each spring.
Over the years, there have been some issue-numbering discrepancies. The Spring 2000 edition, "volume 25," was actually the 27th issue, numbering that has prevailed to the present. The Spring 2011 edition was published as the 34th volume, but it is actually the 36th when following the numbering system put into place in 2000.

Storms have shoved at least four semis off Interstate 80 in Nebraska in the past week — testimony to the power of straight-line winds.
About 7 p.m. Sunday, a strong south wind knocked a semi from the highway just east of Lexington, according to reports to the National Weather Service.
Meteorologist Angela Oder estimates gusts peaked at more than 70 mph.
The driver was wearing a seat belt and was taken to a nearby hospital with non- life-threatening injuries, said Deb Collins of the Nebraska State Patrol.
Those winds were part of a storm that dropped large hail across western and central Nebraska and northern Kansas.
In some cases, the hail was accompanied by winds blowing at 60 to 70 mph. Southwest of North Platte and north of Lexington, hail knocked out windows. Golf ball-sized hail fell in Overton.
Across the border in north-central Kansas, the storm dumped nearly 5 inches of rain and caused minor flooding.
Last Thursday, two semitrailer truck drivers were injured after straight-line winds blew their trucks off Interstate 80 between Sidney and Big Springs.
One driver was taken to the hospital, but his injuries were not life-threatening, said Cheyenne County Sheriff John Jenson. The other driver did not require hospitalization.
The winds also generated a severe dust storm in the county, Jenson said. Visibility dropped to near zero in the worst-affected areas, including where Jenson was driving.
"You couldn't see 2 to 3 feet in front of your car," he said. "It was a very, very nasty wind for a while."
Region 21 emergency manager Ron Leal said a total of three semis were shoved off the highway with the Thursday windstorm, the third remaining upright but pushed to the road shoulder.
A sustained wind of 48 mph was recorded with this system, said Brian Chapman, meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Cheyenne, Wyo. Gusts at nearby Sidney peaked at 59 mph, he said.
Chapman said a semi pulling an empty load can be tipped over by a wind of that speed because they have such a high and broad profile.
Kansas City-bound traveler Naomi Kilpatrick said strong winds and poor visibility made driving difficult for motorists, too. She pulled off the Interstate and took shelter under an overpass as one of the semis headed into the dusty cloud.
Two cars parked beneath the overpass had their windows broken out. When she got to her Ogallala hotel that evening, another driver said his car's windows were broken out, too.
"Pretty scary for all of us," she said

text: In the brightest of the days, I look for you Whether a vision so pine or in blind sought... When the heat takes its toll, My coaled feet steps out with my shadow beneath With my heart that beats to the sound of your name To quench my isolated soul. I gasp the air as a face conceived infront of my eyes A desire to marvel aroused Whether a word spoken or eyes gazed... When the hot rays distorted an image of yours, My awaited eyes dazed with haze of tears With my isolated spirit held in solitary To provoke my agitated fears. As I reach the realm in the darkest of the nights I close my eyes Whether a dream I want to see or a dream I had already seen When the darkness makes its fall, My heart set aflame to light yours With internal fires deep within my being To fetch the demon out from my soul. I held the time as the clock ticked to dawn In darkest night we were reborn Whether we are the remnant or we are the neonate When our hearts communicated to pair, Even in the darkest of the nights you shine With your most opaline presence and promise smile At the end of the day We are a pair of connected heart!

Although he succumbed to thyroid cancer on June 10, 2006, Dr. Joseph Calder Jr., left an indelible mark on the lives of many, especially the lives of his family, friends, colleagues and patients within Williamsport and surrounding communities.
Throughout his 31-year career as a physician, Calder was regarded as a consummate teacher, mentor and coach. He was characterized by a fierce dedication to the highest-quality medical care and by a selfless devotion to his patients and coworkers.
He came to Williamsport in 1975 and was the physician founder of advanced cardiac services in Williamsport. His efforts in establishing cardiac catheterization and echocardiography services led to the recruitment of other cardiologists and, ultimately, the cardiac surgery program in Williamsport.

In addition to his passion for medicine, Calder had a limitless love for his wife, Stephanie, whom he'd married in 1974, and their three children, Eric, Beth and Melissa.
This year, members of Calder's family will join the community-at-large at the Relay For Life of Williamsport in honoring and remembering his contributions to so many people.
"When we found out this year's Relay was in memory of Joe, we were very surprised, very honored," said Stephanie during a recent phone interview.
She also shared that she frequently hears from individuals who share with her the impact her husband had on their lives.
"It's so nice to hear from them and talk about their relationship with Joe. The whole time he was ill, everyone was very supportive," she said. "He had such a passion for life, a commitment for his career and family and the people he cared about. He was just a wonderful person."

John Henry O'Hara (January 31, 1905 – April 11, 1970) was an American writer. He earned a reputation first for short stories and became a best-selling novelist by the age of thirty with Appointment in Samarra and BUtterfield 8. He was particularly known for an uncannily accurate ear for dialogue. O'Hara was a keen observer of social status and class differences, and wrote frequently about the socially ambitious.
A controversial figure, O'Hara had a reputation for personal irascibility and for cataloging social ephemera, both of which frequently overshadowed his gifts as a storyteller. Writer Fran Lebowitz called him "the real F. Scott Fitzgerald."[1] John Updike, one of his consistent supporters, grouped him with Chekhov in a C-SPAN interview.[citation needed] By contrast, Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times dismissed him as a "minor writer" and a "well-known lout."[2]
O'Hara was born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. His childhood home, the John O'Hara House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[3] He attended the secondary school Niagara Prep in Lewiston, New York, where he was named Class Poet for Class of 1924.[4] His father died at that time, leaving him unable to afford Yale, the college of his choice. By all accounts, this disappointment affected O'Hara deeply for the rest of his life and served to hone the keen sense of social awareness that characterizes his work. He worked as a reporter for various newspapers. Among other things he covered his hometown Pottsville Maroons of the National Football League.[5]
Moving to New York City, O'Hara began to write short stories for magazines. In his early days he was also a film critic, a radio commentator and a press agent; later, with his reputation established, he became a newspaper columnist. He garnered much critical acclaim for his short stories, more than 200 of which, beginning in 1928, appeared in The New Yorker. Many of them (and some later novels) were set in Gibbsville, Pennsylvania, a barely fictionalized version of Pottsville, which is a small city in the coal region of the United States.
In 1934, O'Hara published his first novel, Appointment in Samarra, which was acclaimed on publication. This is the O'Hara novel that is most consistently praised by critics. Ernest Hemingway wrote: "If you want to read a book by a man who knows exactly what he is writing about and has written it marvelously well, read Appointment in Samarra."[6] On the other hand, writing in the Atlantic Monthly of March 2000, critic Benjamin Schwarz and writer Christina Schwarz claimed: "So widespread is the literary world's scorn for John O'Hara that the inclusion ... of Appointment in Samarra on the Modern Library's list of the 100 best [English-language] novels of the twentieth century was used to ridicule the entire project."
O'Hara followed Samarra with BUtterfield 8 and several other novels. The epistolary Pal Joey (1940) led immediately to a successful Broadway musical, and subsequently to other productions.
During World War II, he was a correspondent in the Pacific theater. After the war, he wrote screenplays and more novels including Ten North Frederick, for which he won the 1956 National Book Award.[7] But his books became increasingly wordy, and his critical reputation suffered, although his shorter work was still esteemed. He was also attacked by some for his frank treatment of sexuality, which at least approached what was impermissible in the 1930s (Appointment and BUtterfield). BUtterfield 8 was banned in Australia until 1963.[citation needed]
Despite his obvious writing skill, most of O'Hara's longer work was not highly regarded by the literary establishment. Some of this may have been due to extra-literary factors, such as his social climbing, his vigorous self-promotion, and his politically conservative newspaper columns. Martin Kich of Wright State University says, "O'Hara's achievements have been so long and thoroughly denigrated that he is now typically considered a novelist of the second, or even the third, rank."[citation needed]
Brendan Gill, who worked with him at The New Yorker, ranks him as "among the greatest short-story writers in English, or in any other language" and credits him with helping "to invent what the world came to call the New Yorker short story."
"Oh," writes Gill, "but John O'Hara was a difficult man! Indeed, there are those who would describe him as impossible, and they would have their reasons." Gill indicates that O'Hara was nearly obsessed with a sense of social inferiority due to not having attended college. "People used to make fun of the fact that O'Hara wanted so desperately to have gone to Yale, but it was never a joke to O'Hara. It seemed... that there wasn't anything he didn't know about in regard to college and prep-school matters." Of O'Hara, Hemingway once said, cruelly, "Someone should take up a collection to send John O'Hara to Yale." O'Hara also yearned for an honorary degree from Yale. According to Gill, Yale was unwilling to award the honor because O'Hara "asked for it."
According to biographer Frank MacShane, O'Hara thought that Hemingway's death made him (O'Hara) the leading candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. He wrote to his daughter "I really think I will get it," and "I want the Nobel prize... so bad I can taste it." MacShane says that T. S. Eliot told O'Hara that he had, in fact, been nominated twice. When Steinbeck won the prize in 1962, O'Hara wired, "Congratulations, I can think of only one other author I'd rather see get it."
John O'Hara died from cardiovascular disease in Princeton, New Jersey, and is interred there in the Princeton Cemetery. The epitaph on his tombstone, which he wrote himself, reads: "Better than anyone else, he told the truth about his time. He was a professional. He wrote honestly and well." Of this, Gill commented: "From the far side of the grave, he remains self-defensive and overbearing. Better than anyone else? Not merely better than any other writer of fiction but better than any dramatist, any poet, any biographer, any historian? It is an astonishing claim."
In the early 1950s, O'Hara wrote a weekly book column, "Sweet and Sour", for the Trenton Times-Advertiser, and a biweekly column, "Appointment with O'Hara", for Collier's magazine. MacShane calls them "garrulous and outspoken" and says neither "added much of importance to O'Hara's work." Biographer Shelden Grebstein says that O'Hara in these columns was "simultaneously embarrassing and infuriating in his vaingloriousness, vindictiveness, and general bellicosity." Woolf says these earlier columns anticipated "his disastrous 'My Turn' in Newsday, which endured fifty-three weeks ... beginning in late 1964... of his dismissive and contemptuous worst."[citation needed]
His first Newsday column opened with the line, "Let's get off to a really bad start." His second complained, "the same hysteria that afflicted the Prohibitionists is now evident among the anti-cigarettists." His third nominally supported the Republican Party nominee Barry Goldwater for U.S. President, by identifying his cause with people who liked the music of Lawrence Welk, an accordionist who was considered unsophisticated and "square". "I think it's time the Lawrence Welk people had their say," wrote O'Hara. "The Lester Lanin and Dizzy Gillespie people have been on too long. When the country is in trouble, like war kind of trouble, man, it is the Lawrence Welk people who can be depended upon, all the way." In his fifth column, he argued that Martin Luther King should not have received the Nobel Peace Prize.
The syndicated column was not a success, running in a continuously decreasing number of newspapers, and did not endear him to the politically liberal New York literary establishment.
Several of the columns directly exhibit his knowledge of trivia about and yearning for association with Ivy League colleges, as he noted, "Through the years I have acquired a vast amount of information about colleges and universities." The May 8, 1965 column takes as its ostensible topic the fact that Yale owns stock in American Broadcasting and thus
- is a beneficiary of the television program Peyton Place... in that Yale Blue Heaven Up Above, where William Lyon Phelps and Henry Seidel Canby may meet every afternoon for tea, there must be some embarrassment. Assuming that Harvard men also go to heaven (Princeton men go back to Old Nassau), I fancy that they are having a little fun with Dr. Phelps and Dr. Canby on the subject of Peyton Place.
The jocular references to Phelps, Canby, and Old Nassau could only have amused a microscopic (if elite) fraction of his readership, and thus give an impression that O'Hara is showing off his insider-like knowledge of these institutions.
Later, he notes that James Gould Cozzens is a "genuine Harvard alumnus" and speculates that Harvard should broker a television serialization of a Cozzens novel:
- But Cozzens makes his home in Williamstown, Mass., and they have a college there. When Sinclair Lewis lived in Williamstown the college ignored him, possibly because Lewis was a Yale man, although I am only guessing on that. I live in Princeton, N. J. and am not a Yale man, but official Princeton University has ignored me as Williams did Lewis.
His September 4, 1965 column deals entirely with his failure to have received any honorary degrees, going into detail about three honorary degrees he was actually offered but, for various reasons, did not accept. In the column he lists the awards he has received:
- In a long and (I believe) useful literary career I have received five major honors. Not to be bashful about it, they are: the National Book Award; membership in the National Institute of Arts and Letters; the Gold Medal of the Academy of Arts and Letters; the Critics Circle Award; and the Donaldson award. You will note that among them is no recognition by the institutions of higher learning.
He complains that the colleges write him "highly complimentary" letters asking him to perform "chores" such as officiating as writer-in-residence, judging literary contests, and give lectures, yet do not give him degree citations. "The five major distinctions," he notes, "were awarded me by other writers, not by [academia]." The column closes with the comment
- If Yale had given me a degree, I could have joined the Yale Club, where the food is pretty good, the library is ample and restful, the location convenient, and I could go there when I felt like it without sponging off friends. They also have a nice-looking necktie.
BUtterfield 8 (1935) was adapted as a 1960 film of the same name. Elizabeth Taylor won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Gloria Wandrous.
From the Terrace was adapted into a 1960 film of the same name for which O'Hara himself helped write the screenplay. The film starred Paul Newman as disenchanted Alfred Eaton, son of a wealthy but indifferent father who has driven his mother to alcoholism; Newman's real-life wife; Joanne Woodward, as his socially-ambitious but self-pitying and unfaithful wife, Mary St. John; and, Ina Balin---who received a Golden Globe Award nomination for the role---as Natalie Benziger, a compassionate and family-oriented young lady who wins Alfred's love as he makes a crucial decision about his career and his life.
Pal Joey (1940) was immediately adapted as a musical of the same name, with libretto by O'Hara and songs by Rodgers and Hart. The 1940 production starred Gene Kelly and Vivienne Segal. The musical was successfully revived in 1952 and later, most recently for a 2008–2009 run on Broadway. It was also re-adapted as the 1957 motion picture Pal Joey starring Frank Sinatra and Rita Hayworth.

South Lake Tahoe 7-Eleven owners Dave and Rhonda recently selected the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe to receive a $1,000 donation. The donation came from proceeds from the Annual Lew Magnotti Memorial Golf Tournament sponsored by Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe area 7-Eleven franchisees in memory of Magnotti, a former 7-Eleven owner. The club will be using the donation to provide materials and supplies for after-school enrichment programs that serve 878 members ages 5-18 in South Lake Tahoe. The Golf Tournament also funded large donations to the Muscular Dystophy Association, Battens Disease, and the Boys and Girls Club of Gardnerville, Nev. 7-Eleven franchisees have long demonstrated their commitment to community based charities. Last year, the store owned by St. Onge contributed to Christmas Cheer, in addition to raising $2,300 for Breast Cancer Research collected at the stores by the employees. These Lake Tahoe 7-Eleven stores will again be seeking donations for Breast Cancer Research this October. Thank you 7-Eleven for your commitment to our community.Karen HouserExecutive directorBoys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe

The rectum is a chamber that begins at the end of the large intestine, immediately following the sigmoid colon, and ends at the anus. Ordinarily, the rectum is empty because stool is stored higher in the descending colon. Eventually, the descending colon becomes full, and stool passes into the rectum, causing an urge to move the bowels (defecate). Adults and older children can withstand this urge until they reach a bathroom. Infants and young children lack the muscle control necessary to delay bowel movement.
The anus is the opening at the far end of the digestive tract through which stool leaves the body. The anus is formed partly from the surface layers of the body, including the skin, and partly from the intestine. The anus is lined with a continuation of the external skin. A muscular ring (anal sphincter) keeps the anus closed until the person has a bowel movement.
