Jeremy Sorese v. A Wrinkle in Time
February 4, 2010 at 10:10 am meg 5 comments
- Who are you and what do you do?
Hi, my name is Jeremy Sorese and I am a student graduating this June from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a degree in comics/sequential art/funny books. I've started to tell everyone that I am a "cartoonist" because I think that's a job title I would be proud to tell my Grandma. "Illustrator" sounds to proud and moldy to me and a "Sequential Artist" just sounds weird.
- Why did you pick the book you chose?
2.) When Meg emailed me asking if I wanted to take part in this, I chose A Wrinkle in Time
on a total whim. I had just bought a copy that afternoon from a Goodwill and had barely cracked the spine before responding to her email. I stayed up late that night reading the whole thing, cover to cover and was blown away, thankfully.
Unsurprisingly, Jeremy makes me drop my jaw on an all too constant rate. I've already seen a bit of his stuff for this and it does not disappoint- but you'll have to wait until February 23. (I know it's tough!) In the meantime, get better acquainted with him on Flickr, and on his Livejournal.
Check back tomorrow for our final (but no less stunning) pair-ups!

I have a question for everyone: will any of you be selling prints of these images? I suppose since many of the works are still under copyright, that may be problematic, but we'd love to frame and hang prints of many of these images, and would be happy to pay the artists for them!
Thanks for the beautiful work -

What i do not realize is in truth how you're no longer really a lot more well-preferred than you may be right now. You're very intelligent.
You know therefore significantly in relation to this topic, made me for
my part consider it from a lot of numerous angles.
Its like women and men are not fascinated unless it's one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. All the time handle it up!
I used to be recommended this web site through my cousin. I'm now not
certain whether this put up is written via him as nobody else recognize such

Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
Anyone bored enough to hear me ramble??
We have found two houses that we like and fit most of our criteria. I have no idea how we are going to decide. I know that this is a decision we will have to make but maybe putting it all down here will help me think through it all.
4 Bedroom, 2.5 bath, oversized 3 car garage, formal dining area
Burleson Home Pros
1. My dream neighborhood with lots of trees, big lots and home is buried back on the last street
2. Gorgeous views out of every window and there are LOTS of them so a lot of light (major plus)
3. It's only about 25 minutes from my family (major plus)
4. Love, love, love the HUGE backyard. (The whole lot is just over half an acre)
5. Most awesome laundry room. Ever.
Burleson Home Cons
1. The home had some major foundation work done about 6 years ago. The work that was done has a life time warranty but if other problems arise that are in another part of the house, it would be on us. (MAJOR drawback since we know it cost them $10,000 for the work. YIKES. Of course, the house may be fine from now on. We can get the foundation checked again along with the inspection, with the permission of the seller.)
2. The seller is actually a relocation company. They have added a few funky addendums to the traditional contract that you would inter into upon making an offer on a house. Again, this may or may not be an issue depending on how things go when it comes to the inspection. It's so complicated, our realtor had to contact a lawyer to sort through the legalese.
3. Older fixtures and I'm not crazy about the flooring. It's not terrible and those things can be changed over time.
4. Jason's drive to work would double.
4 bedroom, 3 full baths, 3 car garage, formal dining, also has a study
Benbrook Home Pros
1. Beautiful home, lots of upgrades and pretty details. No updating needed at all since it's newer.
2. It's much closer to Jason's work (major plus, less gas, less time in the car and more time at home)
3. I prefer the layout of this house for the most part. Open concept kitchen, a study which could double as a craft room! (YAY!)
4. I prefer the flooring and fixtures in this house. The kitchen is a more ornate than I prefer but it's still lovely.
Benbrook Home Cons
1. The biggest drawback by far is it is about 40 minutes from my family. I hate the 30 minute drive now but I usually hit some traffic, so time wise, it may not be that much different. Traffic should be much less from this house.
2. The view doesn't compare. It's a newer development and so the trees are sparse. It's sort of rolling hills but I would prefer trees.
3. The living room doesn't have as much area to play as the other.
4. There would be an HOA. Not sure what kind of anal retentive people we could be dealing with.
Property line goes back much further than the fence
Those are hard choices! Keep looking! lol
I think the biggest thing for me would be the trees, but increasing Jason's commute would be a biggie too. I would put higher priority on his commute than distance to your family because he'll be doing that drive every day as opposed to you seeing your family once or twice a week (a guess). You'll appreciate him being home sooner rather than later when you're about to lose your mind with two needy kids!
Flooring and fixtures can be changed, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. If you have the foundation checked by a professional, I wouldn't worry about that either. I know that we keep a soaker hose around our foundation and run it occasionally in the heat to prevent cracking of our foundation. You'll want to make sure that kind of maintenance happens if you go for that house.
How are the schools? That would be my other concern.
I was all set to say the second one, until I saw it is with an HOA. I would not want to deal with it.
Good luck picking. It's nice to have options.

Kayla I was just in your situation a month ago. Our deciding factors were
1. Neighborhood quality and affordability (because of our break in last Oct)
2. Near family, work, school etc.
3. Sq footage and floor plan (roomy but not too much).
Those look beautiful! I don't know how you feel about space but I learned it was better for me to have less so I could enjoy it and not have to clean every second. Our old 4 bedroom townhouse was 2,300 sq and it about killed me with 2 kids. Also I wanted a "great" room. Having the kitchen and living room in the same area is needed for me to cook and watch the kids play. Best of luck on your decision. BTW when are you guys looking to move? We move June 2nd and can't wait!
I think what freaked me out about the foundation is that it cost them $10,000 to get it fixed. We would definitely have it checked before buying it but who is to say that problems will not arise later? I don't know enough about that sort of thing to know if we can have any reassurance about it's stability over the years. Jason is really good about watering the foundation though so we would definitely do that.
As far as schools, they are both good districts. That is part of the reason these two houses are so far apart. In between them would be Fort Worth ISD and we didn't even consider living in any home that fed into those schools. School districts were actually the first thing we decided on before even looking at homes.
Square footage is close for each home but we wanted 4 bedrooms b/c my parents visit often enough that the extra room gets used quite a bit throughout the year. The Benbrook has the extra study but I do love the thought of it creating extra storage for Jordan's toys and a craft area for me. In fact, that plus is sort of growing on me.
Really, THANK YOU for taking the time to respond. It's helping.
If I had to pick I'd go with #2. For our family, every day life comes first - so DH's commute time and house layout allowing me to be productive despite Aiden. I don't really love the kitchen look personally, but it's not a bad kitchen at all and it is something that you could change a bit over time. As far as trees go, trees grow with time. If this is a house that you want to stay in for a very long time (which from what you've said it will be), creating that yard with trees that you want can very much happen with you still having tons of time to enjoy it. My parents yard had no trees when we moved in. 8 years later the small trees they planted had really taken off. It's been almost 20 years and they trees are HUGE. So big that they regret planting so many. lol. While the longer drive to see family is there, it doesn't seem that long to me. But keep my perspective in mind for what I consider to be a long trip (16 hours). I love the yard of one, but love the inside of 2 more just due to layout. HOA doesn't scare me. Though I wouldn't be opposed to dropping by the neighborhood and knocking on a couple of doors and asking people. I've dealt with HOAs before as renters which the fun part of that was that we weren't "allowed" to be given a copy of the HOA regulations but were expected to abide by them. It was a fun game of guessing, which is what I hated. Once we figured them out, we didn't mind. Kept the neighborhood constant and looking nice. Honestly base regulations that we've dealing with now are MUCH tougher than any HOAs I've ever heard about. And they were supposedly bad in Vegas.
The foundation thing and the legalize issues would definitely worry me big time with house #1. :-/ But man it's so pretty too!
family and kid friendly tho.
That's it! I'm moving to Texas!
I really love them both. I'm leaning towards the 2nd one, but I love, love, love the first. The family room of the second one feels more comfortable to me. But the outside space of the first one draws me in.... Helpful, huh?
Foundation issues scare me. Do you know why they had issues. Was it structural issues, or soil issues?
What's the price difference between the two? Not enough to make a difference, I'm guessing.
Jackie, I'm with you on the kitchen. I can appreciate it is nice, even though it's not my style. Supposedly the wood used is special? Lol, it's one of their selling points. You can see how much it impressed me. I am not a fan of all the glass either, but again, I know I will have to keep an open mind since we are not building our own home.
I guess on the positive side, my dad has been in the nursery business for over 30 years. He should be able to help us decide what trees will do well in that area. Burleson is a naturally wooded area and even though Benbrook is not that far, the land does change quiet a bit. But I'm sure there are plenty of trees that will grow well there.
On a side note, how can an HOA not give you a copy of their rules?! How can they legally enforce anything if you don't even know what is expected of you? That's just stupid.
Also, a 40 minute drive to work is probably typical for a lot of people around here. We are fortunate that we have the option of living closer to DH's work. At least he doesn't have to commute into a downtown area like so many.
Oh, and to answer your previous question, we are probably going to move forward with an offer soon. So I guess whenever everything is finalized? Either we are incredibly brave or incredibly stupid to be doing this right now. I may leave one house to have my c/s and come home to another, lol.

So, this year I joined a choir. I've been singing alto and thoroughly enjoying it.
Decided to do a duet with a fellow chorister, got some "guidance" from his vocal teacher. Said teacher tells me I have a soprano voice. I fiercely rebut (who wants to be a stinky soprano!!)
Get to end of year, start getting my own lessons. My own teacher tells me I have a soprano voice. I give in to the inevitable, since own experiences throughout the year have convinced me I do have a decent (if untrained and consequently irregular) top vocal range.
Today I bought myself a DOUBLE CD OF SOPRANO ARIAS. Which I am now listening to.
What has become of me?? *cue operatic wailing and gnashing of teeth*
Posted 23 December 2012 - 06:47 PM
A soprano! Oh Napcat, sopranos are so silly... they, they giggle /
Lol . Enjoy.

cattivo, it's not the giggling, it's the HIGH STRUNG ANXIETY that terrifies me. Though, my new singing buddy in the soprano section is a bit gigglesome.

I love the alto section. But in our choir, there are more altos that can sing than sopranos, so I feel compelled to help them out. Not to mention, regular weekly practice hitting stupidly high notes will assist me in my solos, in one of which I am required to hit a Very High C.
Posted 23 December 2012 - 07:11 PM
I'm an alto through and through, and because the alto section is full of failed sopranos, half the time I get moved to the tenors. I know it's inevitable, my mum sings tenor these days, but I'm too young to be a tena lady goddamnit!

BlondieUK and Tigerfilly better get their sh*t into this thread, that's all I can say. We might need to stage some kind of intervention with the sountrack of Chess and a well hung Argentinian doing Tenor falsetto.
Reporting for duty.
In college, I sang in a pretty good college/chapel choir. Over the course of my four years there, I sang Alto 1/II, Soprano 1/II, and on a couple of memorable (??) occasions, I was roped into singing Tenor I when there was a nasty bug knocking out half the choir. At my singing 'peak' before the clarinet took over my life, I had a range of G below middle C to the E above the stave.
I am going to go against the flow - embrace your inner soprano. It doesn't negate your ability to sing the lower parts, or stop you from developing that part of your voice. And in my experience, singing teachers wouldn't usually push the range up unless they thought it was there for the picking.
I desperately miss singing
Embrace it. Breathe it
And to Quill, I saw a big pffffft. and I add - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2OY1xO6Ga8 (high D!)

I sing tenor. I have no sympathy.
Posted 23 December 2012 - 07:17 PM
My range is a firm and definite bottom F to high Ab. I can hit the C, but it's what you'd refer to as "Squeaky".
My duet part is Mrs Lovett in a Little Priest. I get to use what we call the "Bogan Man Voice". I sound VERY common but it's SUCH fun.

I LOVE THAT PIECE. Have you seen it done by the boy choristers? And the male/female operatic version? I just need to find someone who will sing it with me!!
In sad news, tonight I could not hit the high C. My Ab was gorgeous. After that, however, I suspect I am lacking technique and sufficient visualisation to sound like anything other than a dying chipmunk with a cat up its a*se.
Posted 23 December 2012 - 10:38 PM
a dying chipmunk with a dead cat up it's bum?
Wow - that's almost as bad as the sounds that have been coming out of my clarinet recently......
NapCat do you have a favourite aria/piece that you would like to sing one day?

I'm not in a choir this year= no carol concert= doesn't feel like Christmas.
Life as an alto is boring and devoid of melody. Female tenors I respect. Altos, pfft. Dime a dozen.

Ken Jautz on CNN's New Lineup: 'It's a clear strategy. It's not a holding pattern'
CNN/U.S. executive VP Ken Jautz talks to Ad Week about the new lineup, which sees Anderson Cooper move to 8 PM–and featuring a replay of Cooper's show at 10 PM. As we noted when the changes were announced, the mover will mean that CNN is the only of the three general news channels to have a replay on at 10 PM. Jautz vigorously defends the move, citing Cooper's success in the period, and adds that it is not a placeholder decision. CNN intends to keep the new schedule intact.
But your primetime slate features re-airs very prominently [for example, under the new lineup, Anderson Cooper 360 airs at 8 and again at 10]. Do you have plans to change that? It seems like an unusual primetime lineup.
I'm going to dispute the premise on several different fronts, actually. But before I do that, let me say that it is a lineup that we look forward to building. We'll build it and attract a greater and greater following. That's one.
Two, I would say that Anderson Cooper has long been at ten as a flagship show … in this day and age, the program that a news channel runs at 8 PM basically showcases what the network stands for. And you look at Anderson Cooper; it is quality journalism, reporting-based program. And you compare that to a more conversational talk show on offer at competitive news networks at 8 o'clock, you see a real difference. It makes sense for us to put it on at 8 o'clock. It also makes sense for us to continue Anderson Cooper—he's been at 10 for many years he has a loyal following at 10 o'clock. Lastly, another reason I dispute the premise is, it suggests that [having re-airs in primetime] is unusual. I would say that it isn't.
So this lineup is part of a clear strategy.
It's a clear strategy. It's not a holding pattern. It's a focus on experienced journalists and on journalism. Also, [the 10 O'clock re-air of Anderson Cooper] has live elements as well. So what runs at 10 O'clock is not exact same thing that runs at 8 O'clock.

When it comes to protecting yourself from the sun, it's easy to go wrong. To help you go right, instead, we whipped up a list of the really bad actors because sometimes, knowing what's on the "avoid" list is a good way to land a safer product.
"Everywhere I went, it was the same story: water trouble, health problems, hazardous explosive conditions - inside the house."
Pretty much all I knew about sunscreen growing up was that SPF was some measure of how much sunburn protection came out of the bottle. Hard to believe that (way back) in those days the great debate was "6 or 8," not 30 or 50 (or 100!). We even busted out the baby oil on occasion (oh, the teen years!).
Methyl iodide: it's listed as a human carcinogen, is considered a neurotoxin and has been linked to late-term miscarriages. Now the state of California is poised to let farmers spray it on the state's strawberry fields - fields that provide over 85% of the US crop.
Some sunscreens prevent sunburn but not other types of skin damage. Make sure yours provides broad-spectrum protection and follow these other tips for better protection.
CNN's chief medical correspondent for its Health, Medical & Wellness unit, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, has put together an impressive 2-part investigative report on toxic chemicals in America. It airs this week, on June 2 & 3 @ 8 PM (EDT). He frames the series with a critical, timely question: Is enough being done to protect us from chemicals that could harm us?
On May 24th, we released our 4th annual Sunscreen Guide. While our basic message is pretty straight forward - cover up first, slop on some effective sunscreen next - the sunscreen choices are so plentiful as to confound even the most avid label readers (that's me).
In this clip, he gives a TV star-worthy talk on visiting his daughter's school, where he spoke with kids about what they like to eat, what they should eat, and what's for lunch.
Every year the time comes to replenish the family sunscreen supply. And every year I wait until EWG's sunscreen guide is out so I can make the right choices without a lot of fuss. Good news then, that it's available in time for a trip to the beach this Memorial Day weekend.
Last month the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that they have added more than 6,300 chemicals and 3,800 chemical facilities to their searchable database Envirofacts.

The smell of lawn chemicals is as dependable a harbinger of spring as robins and lilacs. Not in big parts of Canada, where many municipalities and provinces have opted to abolish the cosmetic use of pesticides on the grounds that the links between pesticide exposure and childhood cancer are too troubling to ignore. So, how come we're still using them?
People may know that organic produce is a better bet - for our heath and the environment, yet only about 2% of U.S. food sales are organic. Yes, a paltry 2 percent.
Dr. Andrew Weil, renowned medical expert on natural health and wellness, tells why and how he uses the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists from EWG's Shoppers Guide to Pesticides. As he says, "We should all be taking action to minimize our exposure to pesticides, including residues of pesticides on foods we eat."
Millions of American consumers participate every day as unwitting human lab rats in one of the biggest experiments ever conducted (or, more appropriately, perpetrated) on the human race. For many, their entrance into the "lab" starts in their 'tweens and continues through high school and on into adulthood. Of course, I'm talking about those who wear perfumes, cologne or the ever-popular "body sprays."
Well-known author and psychologist Daniel Goleman suggests that if we consumers have more easily-accessible information about the products we buy, we'll be better prepared to make choices that consider ecological, social and health impacts. Perfect examples: EWG's Skin Deep database and our Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce.
By Jane Houlihan, EWG Senior V-P for Research
Four of every 10 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes, and two of every 10 will die of it.
But there are some things you can do to reduce the risk. First, talk to your doctor about lifestyle changes that are known to make a difference - stopping smoking, reducing drinking, losing weight, exercising and eating right.
Do big corporations care about what large blocks of their shareholders have to say about company practices? I don't know. I've never worked for one.
You may have kicked the bottled water habit, but has your state government?

Study says every preteen should get UV snapshot of what exposure can do to their skin
THURSDAY, April 23 (HealthDay News) -- Showing middle-school students ultraviolet photographs that reveal the sun damage to their faces makes them less likely to get sunburns in the months following, new research says.
Researchers recruited 111 students aged 11 to 13 from Quincy, Mass., which had a melanoma rate higher than expected from 1999 to 2003.
After receiving a sun protection lecture, 83 students also received a UV photograph of their face that shows pigment changes from chronic sun exposure and an explanation of the damage. Twenty-eight students in the control group heard the lecture but did not have a photo taken.
After two months, 36 percent of the group shown the photos reported getting a sunburn, compared to 57 percent of those who didn't have a UV photo taken.
After six months, 51 percent of intervention group reported a sunburn, compared to 64 percent of the control group.
Students said that the UV photo was a helpful tool in teaching risk factors for skin cancer, and the majority had kept them. The preteens with the highest risk factors for melanoma, such as facial freckles, were more greatly impacted and were significantly less likely to report sunburn at two months and again in six months.
The study was published in the April issue of the Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association.
Despite public health recommendations to protect children and preteens from sun damage, studies indicate that most children get at least one sunburn each year and that more than a third have three or more per year, said study author Marie-France Demierre, a professor of dermatology and medicine at Boston University School of Medicine.

RadeonSI Moves A Bit Closer To GLSL 4.00 (OpenGL 4.0)
Published on 07 June 2014 02:08 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
5 Comments
AMD's RadeonSI Gallium3D driver is a bit closer to supporting OpenGL 4.0 via the GLSL 4.00 specification requirements thanks to a new patch set published on Friday by Marek Olšák.
The latest patches by Marek implement ARB_texture_gather and gather-related ARB_gpu_shader5 functions from the GLSL 4.00 specification. With the patches, all the related Piglit regression tests to these functions now pass.
As explained by the
OpenGL.org registry
, "This extension provides a new set of texture functions (textureGather) to the shading language that determine 2x2 footprint that are used for linear filtering in a texture lookup, and return a vector consisting of the first component from each of the four texels in the footprint."
Outside of the Radeon driver, there's been
Intel texture gather patches
going back one year and the core Mesa support was
committed last October
and in February was when
texture gather support came to Gallium3D
The patches implementing the ARB_texture_gather support for the RadeonSI driver to support the extension on AMD Radeon HD 7000 series hardware and newer is currently found on the
Mesa-dev mailing list
but should work its way into Git for the
Mesa 10.3
release. Besides the Mesa work, the texture gather support does require some patches to the AMD R600 GPU back-end within the LLVM code-base too. Hopefully those AMD LLVM back-end improvements will land for the
release this summer.

Love this tent, well worth the money. Not a real three person tent but excellent 2 person, especially if you are with the kind of camping partner you'd rather not cuddle with.

New lower level seating and new head coaches provide an air of excitement for the Univ. of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's and women's basketball programs.
"With two new head basketball coaches in place and a great venue that needs a good facelift, this is the perfect time for a fresh start and to install all new seating in the blue and gold sections (lower level)," said new UTC athletics director David Blackburn.
"The bulk of our fans sit in the lower level seating (3,700 seats) and this re-seating project, which includes 440 padded seats on each side, will be a great face lift to an excellent home court for the Mocs and will provide our fans another good reason to come to the games.
This $1.8 million dollar project is the first major renovation to McKenzie Arena since it opened three decades ago (Dec. 1982) under the original name of UTC Arena.
With a completion date of early September, the arena will showcase new lower level seating for under 4,000 fans in the 10,000-plus seat facility.
UTC Hoops History: The women's varsity program dates back to the early 1960s with games played in the "old gym", Maclellan Gym and now McKenzie Arena.
The men's program has had at least four home courts with the first games played on campus nearly a century ago (fall of 1915).
"Once completed, the new seating will lift the place up and give a better feel for what we want to do for the overall UTC basketball programs as we look at marketing and ticket sales ideas," said Blackburn.
McKenzie Arena Re-Seating Project
Arena: McKenzie Arena
Re-Seating: 3,700 new seats on the lower level
Project Cost: $1.8 million
Completion Date: early Sept. 2013
McKenzie Arena Dedicated: Dec. 1982
Original Building Cost: $15.5 million multipurpose complex … 210,000 square footage
Largest Crowd For Basketball
Men: Dec.4, 2007 … 11,221 vs. Tennessee (76-70 loss)
Women: Nov.19, 2004 – 10,051 vs. Tennessee (68-34 loss)

Grove Bamboo Back
If you're looking to add a bit of flair and protection to your MacBook, you have quite a few options, including stickers and hard plastic cases, both with their own positives and negatives. Grove has come up with a new alternative: Bamboo Back ($29). Available in sizes for everything from the 11" MacBook Air to the 17" MacBook Pro, these handmade wooden plates spruce up your machine and personalize it, too.
Bamboo Back is really thin—only .035"—and attaches to your computer with an adhesive backing that sticks to the aluminum body, but comes off without leaving any residue. What's really cool is that you can choose to have a cutout in the center; the glow from the Apple logo shines through, creating a cool effect. Grove has a few dozen different options, but if you want your own image and are willing to buy ten or more, you can do a custom cutout instead.

Defazio has treated us well
Nobody is perfect, but Defazio is pretty darn good. He even voted against the Patriot Act since the first time it came up right after 9/11.
Robinson's son (using same platform as Robinson) ran against Defazio in the Democratic Primary this year and lost by a landslide. Defazio got 90% of vote. It was nice for the young Robinson to get involved but the downside is that it kept Democrats from switching parties in the primary to vote for Ron Paul.
In 2010 DeFazio beat Robinson Sr. 54-44
In 2008 the Republicans didn't even bother trying.
In 2006 Defazio got 62% of vote. and so on.. 1996 he had 66%
Not sure what the latest redistricting will do. I will take a good look at Robinson, but I am generally not inspired to get rid of good people for someone unknown. I have no idea if he will be able to stand up when in Washington. People tend to change when they get in office.
Sorry for late response....just saw this when googling for defazio

MacMillan Suddenly Departs as Stryker's CEO
In a shocking bit of news that is sure to have the attendees at this week's annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons buzzing, Stephen P. MacMillan has resigned as chairman, president and CEO of Stryker Corp.
According to a release from the Kalamazoo, Mich.-based company, the sudden move was made "for family reasons" and will be effective immediately.
Curt Hartman, vice president and chief financial officer, has been named interim CEO, and William U. Parfet, the company's lead independent director will become non-executive chairman. The company's board has begun a search for a permanent successor to MacMillan and will consider both internal and external candidates.
"The board is thankful for Steve's leadership over the past nine years as the company has continued to grow in the midst of a difficult economic period," said Parfet. "We understand and support his decision to step down for family reasons and wish him well in his future endeavors. Stryker is fortunate to have a strong and deep executive leadership team, and we are pleased that Curt Hartman has agreed to step into the Interim CEO role,"
Despite the suddenness of the departure, the bottom line is never far from view. Parfet added: "The board is excited about the company's strategic direction and our commitment to delivering double-digit adjusted per share earnings growth."
MacMillan said: "It has been an enormous privilege to have led Stryker during this period of important change and growth. As I look ahead to the next chapter in my life, I remain confident that the team will continue to execute Stryker's strategy with distinction and that the company will enjoy continued success in the future."
"With our highly engaged workforce and broad product offering we are well positioned to meet the needs of patients, physicians and our hospital customers," said Mr. Hartman. "We remain focused on driving solid top line growth that delivers leveraged earnings with a continued emphasis on quality and innovation in order to maximize shareholder value."
Curt Hartman began his career with Stryker in 1990 and has progressed through a variety of leadership positions over the last 22 years, including six years as global president of Stryker Instruments. In April 2009, he was named vice president and chief financial officer. Hartman holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan and completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School.
William Parfet has been a director of Stryker for almost 20 years. He is currently the chairman and CEO of MPI Research, Inc., a drug safety and pharmaceutical development company, and has served in that role since 1999.
In late January, the company posted $8.31 billion in sales for 2011, 13.5 percent more than the $7.32 billion it recorded for 2010.
Net earnings grew 5.7 percent, to $1.35 billion, or $3.45 earned per diluted share, compared to $1.27 billion, or $3.19 per diluted share, in 2010. Net earnings for 2011 included a $15 million fee the company paid early in the year to settle charges of off-label marketing of a pair of bone-healing products. Notably, for the fourth quarter, Medical device-maker Stryker Corp. reported a 36 percent spike in net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011.
Adjusted earnings hit nearly $1.45 billion, or $3.72 per share, an 11.7 percent increase from $3.33 in 2010. Analysts had forecast adjusted earnings per share of $3.73. Most of the year's progress came via strategic acquisitions. Mergers were responsible for a 6.7 percent increase in Stryker's net sales in 2011.
"Despite the challenging economic environment, our results for 2011 underscore the inherent strength afforded by our balanced diversification," MacMillan said at the time. "We have built on the breadth of our sales footprint with the addition of several targeted acquisitions which further expand our product offering in the medical technology market."

RT on DVD: Final Futurama Flick, Pirates II, and Akira on Blu-ray
Plus two Dario Argento classics and the original Last House on the Left.
Remember when Noah Wyle seemed poised for success in Hollywood? If his tenure as the world's most resourceful librarian-turned-action hero is any indication, he's totally made it to the big time. TNT's made-for-TV film The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice hits DVD this week and is a must-have for you Librarian fans who already own the first two films (The Librarian: Quest for the Spear and The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines); you know who you are. This time around, Wyle heads to New Orleans in pursuit of a mystical chalice that will resurrect Dracula, falling for a smoking hot vamp (Stana Katic) along the way. Incidentally, The Librarian 3 is directed by actor-director Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek's Riker!), so if you're any sort of self-respecting nerd, this is a must-own title.
Next: Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge
