The 2007 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep, dark violet color with reddish hues. The nose offers intense, focused aromas of ripe cassis and black currant fruit intertwined with notes of tobacco, cedar, and a touch of eucalyptus. The mouthfeel is full and concentrated with layers of rich black berry flavors and elements of frosted mint, espresso and graphite.

Coriolanus is a man of Virtue, when virtue meant 'manliness' not 'modest chastity.' Above all, he had the virtue of pursuing virtue, which he refused to compromise and which he refused to hide. In contrast, the aristocracy and the mob whom they serve despised Coriolanus precisely because he was good and refused to be otherwise.
*Coriolanus* is Shakespeare at the height of his powers, and the real tragedy is that this work is not better known.
It seems that people either love or hate this play. Many consider Coriolanus to be a very unlikable character because he is supposedly arrogant, but I disagree. Coriolanus just worked hard, told the truth, was a straight shooter, and refused to play silly games by telling people what they wanted to hear. I guess I see something different in this play than most critics and readers of Shakespeare.

Neal Kottke has been involved in futures markets, particularly in the grain sector, since the 1960s. He has worked on the physical and futures side, traded, ran a clearing member firm (Kottke Associates), ran the Board of Trade Clearing Corporation (BOTCC) and operated as a commodity trading advisor (CTA). He even owns a working farm in downstate Ill., so he has a view of the grain sector from every perspective. We sat down with Neal to talk and the industry and the grain markets.
Futures Magazine: You have been involved in trading agricultural markets — both cash and futures — for more than 35 years. Tell us how you got involved in the business.
Neal Kottke: I got out of the Army in the 1960s and joined Continental Grain Company as a grain merchandiser and worked in the grain export markets. I worked in Minneapolis, New York, Chicago and Paris, so I had a broad learning experience in the export markets. I had worked in Chicago and became familiar with the futures markets and the interface with delivery, so that was my transition between the cash grain market and the futures market. I resigned from Continental, bought my own membership and formed a small clearing firm called Agri Trading in 1976. It was a clearing firm. but I was trading. We cleared our own trading and I was the principal trader.
FM: You have had a long eclectic career in the business that encompasses cash and physical trading, futures brokerage and exchange management. What are you spending most of your time on now?
NK: Basically it hasn't changed, we are still a trading firm. Our principle business is option market making in grains, meats and energies. They are proprietary traders of Kottke. They trade on the floor and they make markets in options. Kottke is now a customer of ADM.
FM: You recently changed Kottke's status from clearing member to introducing broker, why?
NK: Capital considerations. We could be a member firm and I didn't need to be a clearing member. We have enough memberships (shares in CME Group) to be a member firm.
FM: There has always been a creative tension between the commercial and speculative side of trading, particularly in grain markets, how has that evolved over the years? How has the emergence of the long-only commodity funds affected that balance? How?
NK: When the grain markets went through their explosion in the 1970s, they were led by an export demand. At that time, the commercials were the predominant influence and drivers in the grain markets. Today's grain markets are different because you have the added impact of, particularly in corn, ethanol as a demand factor and [most recently] that has been where the expansion of demand has come from. Along with that, you have had an increase in the capital that can be employed in a speculative nature in the form of managed futures. So those two features are great influences, and therefore the commercial side is diminished to some extent.
FM: Aren't the long-only commodity funds a larger factor that traditional CTAs?
NK: I am not sure I agree with that. They both have impacted the markets. I think that the long-only feature has been over emphasized and overstated. I say that because it is not dynamic. It comes, it is absorbed by the markets and then it is there. And then it is rolled. Now it has an impact on spreads, but that is not really the flat price driver that managed capital and that goes both ways in the market. [Long only funds] once they are in, its impact is lost, it has been absorbed.
FM: There are many people, particularly in Congress, that believe these funds have had a dramatic influence, particularly in crude oil. What is your opinion on that?
NK: I would disagree. Congress has alleged that the funds caused the energy spike. The world uses 80 million barrels of oil a day, prices 80 million barrels a day. When you compare that to the amount of speculative capital that is available for crude oil trading, it is ridiculously small. You are talking about a massive markets and the cash was trading there. They didn't make that up. Now there are a lot of influences. China is increasing demand and adjustments had to be made by other users and producers. That is what makes these markets, it isn't money running on the screen that makes the markets. These people are over impressed with what they think they see, they are seeing the tip of the iceberg. It is ludicrous to think that capital in the futures markets was driving the cash crude oil market. They are looking for a villain and the villain is the world, but that is not a popular thing to say.
FM: What about wheat?
NK: The long-only holders of soft red wheat in Chicago have impacted the delivery mechanism or the spread, but even there I would submit that the issue with wheat spreads and delivery is not the long-only funds, the issue is with the soft red wheat contract itself and what is deliverable. It is a small contract and being made more difficult by the delivery specifications.
FM: Can you trade commodities without taking into account the effect of long-only funds?
NK: If you trade commodities, you have to take into account every factor that you can. So long-only is a factor, but it is an overrated factor. One of the things that a very wise trader told me was a comment made during a market rally [when] somebody said, 'Well I don't like the quality of the buying,' and this person said, 'Sir, I would suggest to you that you don't look at who you think is buying or selling the market, you simply look at where the market is itself.' And I agree with that.
FM: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is mandated by Dodd-Frank to create a spec limit regime that encompasses both futures and over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Are you expecting significant changes as it pertains to grain markets? What do you think will be the impact of aggregate position limits?
NK: I presume that there will be a hedge exemption and from that presumption it will become quite difficult to discern that which is a hedge and that which is not when you talk about over-the-counter markets or cash markets. Specifically when one talks about grains. It could be done in Bermuda. The market will adjust. [Regulations] can be as tough as they want, but there will be those in Geneva, Switzerland who will trade cash grain if they wish. This is not unprecedented. Back in the 1970s there was a cash grain market. We called it the Italian corn market, and the trading unit was 1 million bushels of corn, and it traded. Sometimes it was delivered and sometimes it wasn't but it was a real market. Now who is to say that is not a hedge or that it is a hedge. I can assure you that anyone who was a commercial just took it into their position and treated it as their overall position. My point is that you can create a cash market and it can be real. The results of that market are part of the world market which is reflected in positions and valued on the CBOT. It is an international market particularly in grains.
[Regulators] can only influence those that are captive—that is U.S. citizens, U.S. companies and or those that elect to — otherwise they will be ignored.
FM: Do you think the CFTC realizes that?
NK: I don't know what they realize. An amazing thing that I have observed over time is that those that wish to legislate behavior are victim to the wish becoming father to the thought: if I wish to do this, then I think I can. There is no monopoly on these markets and I believe the open interest in [European] wheat is now exceeding ours.
The notion of legislative limits is always food for thought. We have limits on price and today is a perfect example (we spoke to Neal on Oct. 8 when the grain complex was locked limit up after the United States Department of Agriculture world supply/demand report). December corn is limit up 30¢ higher. We have ordained that. Therefore it is $5.28 ¼. The fact is even on our own exchange, synthetic futures options are trading 36¢ higher. Now you tell me what the limit is. So the market is working in spite of 20 feet away an options market trading 36¢ higher.
FM: You formerly headed BOTCC. What is you opinion of the mandate to clear most OTC swaps? Is there a risk as well as an opportunity in moving these products onto a clearinghouse?
NK: One of the things we have seen in the world of finance is that company to company traded credit default swaps (CDS) have proven to be quite dangerous to say the least. There is a question of if we can clear them on an exchange, could we see the exposure. I have not read anything about anybody calling for a position limit in swaps. I understand the drive; the drive is to make that market transparent rather than opaque. Specifically in the area of CDS, the main question always asked is how do you margin CDS? If we are discussing corn and the market is $5 and you are short from $4.90 I know you are out 10¢ a bushel, so you will need that margin plus the initial margin. I have a mechanism to daily margin your account. The CDS is quite another animal. The problem is we know those things are discontinuous. One party buys the insurance and another sells it, so it is like a piece of insurance and then it rests. There aren't a large number of buyers and sellers making a market. And in the end it either defaults or is doesn't, it is binary. The rational margin on that CDS is somewhere between zero and full value. I understand why it should be done but I would be curious how do you really margin these things.
The issue with the writer of the swap, the seller, is that it is even more important to understand his balance sheet as to his availability to withstand a complete requirement to pay. The best [solution to] that is too make him put up 100%, but that would probably drive away business. I have never been able to understand the model for margining. It has to be done differently than the traditional clearinghouse mechanism. The traditional clearinghouse mechanism relies on a functioning market to price the underlying and what really makes it work is you make people come up with the money every day.
FM: They are off exchange because they don't want to put up the money.
NK: That's right. We laugh when we say that, but they don't want to put up the money. They also are not sure how it should be fairly priced. If you put these things on exchanges, you will have clearing members that will be on both sides of the market. If you got enough trade in it, then you will be pricing it. But those that are short it, you better be sure that they have the wherewithal to meet the ultimate cost.
FM: One of the criticisms mentioned by futures commission merchants (FCMs) of the CME's plan to clear OTC products, particularly CDS, is that funds to back them would be commingled in the clearinghouse with funds backing the rest of their portfolio. Would you prefer a separate structure?
NK: That is some comfort but I would rather say, were I still making that decision, I [would want to] understand their model for margining, pricing and maintaining financial integrity. If I understood that and agreed to it, then I would rather go with the business model that works. I understand that you could separate them, but, as a practical matter, if you blew up one clearinghouse, I don't think that is going to bode well for the remaining [clearinghouses].
FM: How has the grain markets changed over the years?
NK: Significant moves in the past were export driven; commercials were the significant drivers. They have been diminished by an expansion of domestic consumption. A second example of that would be the large amounts of managed capital which goes in and out of the grain markets. That has different features, [there is] the long-only feature, but there is the capital that avails itself of the market on the upside and the downside. And while the grain markets have [always] been international markets, electronic trading [has allowed] the whole world the same access to these markets at all times. They are much more robust. You have access to them regularly from Beijing, or wherever, just as if you were sitting in Chicago. That makes them deeper markets and I think they are better markets.
FM: We have spoken to some managers who say that despite the huge increase in volume in agricultural markets because of electronic trading, it is actually more difficult to execute size because of certain trading algorithms. Have you found that to be the case?
NK: I haven't had that experience. I can tell you in executing options size, you can do a much better job with futures on the screen. The options markets themselves are much deeper and tighter because those that are trading options have access to the underlying through the screen. That tightening of the availability takes so much friction out of the markets and makes it a much better and more responsive market.
FM: Talk about the two managed futures programs you offer: Swinford and Willis.
NK: Swinford is a very traditional, fundamental trader. His background is in the swine industry and farming, and he concentrates in trading hogs and cattle. He also trades the grain markets. It is a fundamentally driven program from Mike Swinford. The [Tom] Willis program is quite a different approach to markets. Willis uses a technical approach to trade a diversified group of markets [this is a separate program from what Willis does as part of Mesirow Financial]. Kottke is the CTA and they are traders under us. They execute through our people on the floor and on the screen.
FM: Are you actively looking for additional managers to offer programs through?
NK: Yes. We bring structure [and] do administration, [but] finding these managers is not easy.
FM: Are high frequency trading programs having an impact on grain markets? How?
NK: When people talk about high frequency, they are usually talking about stocks. There are all kinds of arbs you can do with stocks; you can do basket stocks against one stock or one stock against the indexes. In grains, high frequency is not a big issue because there is not a lot you can arb against corn. Where there is an arbitrage you can do is in beans [with the crush]. There is a high frequency trade there, but it is a stabling influence. In the grain world it is minor.
FM: After a pretty boring first half of 2010, grain markets have been on the move. What do you attribute this to and where do you see the complex heading in 2011?
NK: The grain markets showed some signs of life beginning in late spring/early summer and the first issue that impacted the grain markets was the dryness in Eastern Europe. Those suspicions were confirmed and there was substantial crop loss in not only wheat but also barley in that geographic area. That was the first wave and wheat led the markets at that moment. While this was going on, we believed in North America that we were producing a record corn crop. The early conditions were quite good and those conditions changed a bit. There had been some suspicions that some of the excessive moisture early in the season was going to cause us some problems. The market discounted that, it is very rare that you have too much moisture in any circumstances. Then the weather turned less than ideal in Ill, Ind. and Iowa, and the corn crop suddenly became suspect. That is where we are now. But today's USDA report, with substantial reduction in their estimate of corn yield, confirmed what the market has been suggesting for some time.
The higher tech corn seeds were particularly devastated in these areas where there were less than ideal conditions and that is troubling when one looks forward. I am not sure we understand why this much reduction in yield came about. We are still dealing with a corn crop of uncertain size.
For 2011, the reports out of Ukraine and Eastern Europe is that their planting conditions were not good—because they are fall planted winter crops, so their production is suspect going into next year. Obviously the signal to the markets is that the rest of the world should plant as much of everything as it can and we will see an expansion in acreage. World stocks are tight. The market says that right now and we will need a substantial increase in production in 2011 to alleviate the situation. I would say that it could be a [difficult] market for greater than one year in duration.
It will be a big year where the market will be quite on edge. It caught users by surprise because the conventional wisdom was that we [would have] a record yield. And it didn't turn out that way.
The tripled stack corn hybrid and the results from that are very disturbing. With that type of hybrid, you have to have a percentage of your corn called refuge corn, the non triple stacked variety. Well what was found in the areas where there were problems with early moisture and not enough moisture and some problems with temperatures is that the refuge corn produced just as much or more than the high tech corn. That is exactly what occurred on my farms in central Ill.
FM: What are the major factors that will impact the grain markets?
NK: One of the issues will be world economic stability. Presuming reasonable economic growth, then increased demand from China, and it is difficult to shut that down. They have all the dollars they need and then some. If you rally corn to $5, it will not change the demand curve in China at all. It will change it elsewhere, but it is not likely to change it there.
FM: What are your major concerns for the industry?
NK: I am very optimistic about the opportunities that are out there for the futures and options industry. I am talking about the traditional products from financials through grains, metals and energy. The reason I see opportunity is because underlying currencies, not only the dollar, are under such a state of duress. That alone affords opportunities in all the markets. The opportunity is there and the world will continue to have a need for price discovery and risk transfer. I see that need increasing as we move forward. What are the caveats? Sometimes it gets too good. The forces that have been most contributory to the instability in our currencies, the political forces, could also come to bear to try and constrain what they may deem inappropriate in any pricing mechanism, whether it is financial, agricultural or energies. We already discussed the concerns that were issued when crude oil made its peak. As usual, scapegoats were sought and speculators always join that list. To that extent, too much success in our industry could be our undoing.
FM: The futures industry model worked well through the recent market turmoil, has the story been told?
NK: We, who are in the industry, overlook an important question, we just take it for granted that everybody understands that these markets work and that is not necessarily understood. That is not really understood by a great many people and it is important that we understand that. Markets don't bring a story that people understand. The corn market that rallied is good news for the farmer but not good news for the meat producer. The market by its nature is the carrier of news that satisfies and dissatisfies at the same time. We have to appreciate that those that are disappointed by the news the markets brings are going to be very unhappy about it. That is a reality that we should not dismiss.

On the welcome page of the dictionary, three major sections are shown: Normal tissues, Cancer and Cell structure. Below the image of each section are links to introductory texts for i) normal tissue histology, ii) hallmarks of cancer, and iii) cell structure overview. For the cancer-section there is also a link to current cancer statistics (incidence, survival, etc) for Sweden and the rest of the world. Within each section there are direct links to histology descriptions of different tissue types and tumor forms as well as descriptions of cell structures.
For the 'Tissue & cell types' and 'Tumor' sections, tissue-slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) are shown at three different levels of magnification. On the top level, an overview of the whole tissue-sample is shown with boxes in black indicating where zoomed-in representative parts of the tissue are available for viewing. Clicking on these boxes will zoom in on that part to show tissue structures, cells and features in greater detail. Throughout these sections, arrows indicate relevant tissue structures, cell-types and other features.
For the 'Cell structure' section, immunofluorescent images of formaldehyde-fixed cell lines are shown. The various cell structures that are demonstrated are always shown in the green channel using an antibody found in the Human Protein Atlas. The antibody name is linked to the subcellular location summary page of the target gene. The other channels: nucleus, microtubules and endoplasmic reticulum, are always shown in the blue, red and yellow channels, respectively. The channels can be toggled on and off by clicking on the respective coloured button above the image. When applicable, the immunofluorescent images are complemented by immunohistochemically stained cells where the location of the particular cell structure is shown in brown.
A common feature for all sections is that a general descriptive text about the tissue, tumor-type or cell structure is provided when browsing a particular topic.
The centrosome of a cell is located close to the nucleus, and is the starting point of microtubule growth (the microtubule organizing centre). It consists of a centrosome matrix that encloses the two centrioles, situated at a 90 degrees angle towards each other. In motile cells the centrioles will become the basal bodies of cilia and flagella. The centrosome is surrounded by the pericentriolar matrix, which is responsible for the minus end formation of microtubules.
When mitosis begins, after replication of the DNA, the centrosomes (also duplicated) will move to opposite sides of the nucleus and form the two poles of the mitotic spindle, separating the chromosomes.
The centrosome always overlaps with the center of the microtubules, making it easy to find. It can be stained either very specifically, where you can see the two separate centrioles, or it can be the surrounding centrosome associated proteins that are stained.

This is very similar to my usual breakfast which consists of sauteed onions and mushrooms in olive oil (I don't chop them very small) and then I set them on a plate with two over easy eggs on top. I love the way the mushrooms and onions soak up the yolk!!! YUMMMIES!
vegetable oil is definitely not paleo, use coconut oil.
is extra virgin olive oil paleo?
I want some! I'm doing a school project on the paleo diet, any suggestions??
"Nutritional profile of bacon" – never heard that one before! Seriously, we all love the taste of bacon, but we're not fooling ourselves into thinking that such a highly processed food could possibly be good for us, are we?

NY Gov. Cuomo proposes cheaper sportsmen licenses
Posted at: 02/20/2013 3:10 PM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposes cutting the price of hunting and fishing licenses in New York in an effort to boost the economy.
Cuomo, a recreational angler and sometime hunter, says Wednesday that he would reduce the fishing license for New Yorkers from $29 to $25 and let the license stay in effect for a full year, instead of expiring at the end of the season.
Proposed budget amendments for the 2013-2014 fiscal year would cut New Yorkers' annual hunting license fee from $29 to $22.
For out-of-state sportsmen, the fishing license would drop from $70 to $50 and the hunting license from $140 to $100.
The administration notes there are almost 1.9 million licensed fishermen and about 823,000 hunters. One survey shows sporting activity generates $8.1 billion in economic activity.

By Julie Watson The Associated Press
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Navy Secretary Ray Mabus on Monday honored four members of a Marine special operations team in a rare public ceremony for the covert forces.
In a ceremony at Camp Pendleton, Mabus awarded Marine Sgt. William Soutra Jr. the Navy Cross, the Navy's highest honor and the military's second highest honor, for tending to the wounded while guiding the platoon to safety during an attack in Afghanistan's Helmand Province in July 2010 that spanned two days.
Three others on his team, including a Navy corpsman, were given Silver Stars. Often, the heroic actions of special operators are only known to each other and the leadership because of their covert work on classified missions.
"This is a chance to recognize people who don't get recognized much," Mabus said, adding that their actions show "just how incredibly capable" Marine special operators are.
Soutra was a canine handler with a Marine special operations team when they were ambushed. After the team's assistant leader was fatally wounded by an enemy explosive during the ambush, Soutra jumped into action, repeatedly running into the line of fire as he helped direct troops to defend themselves and fight off the enemy, Mabus said.

Advances in technology continue to expand the role of medical imaging beyond the walls of the radiology department. One technique that has seen particular growth in recent years is intraoperative imaging. Two new systems have recently been added to the surgical imaging armamentarium: one using infared technology to assess graft patency during coronary bypass surgery and the other using volume rendering to track surgical instruments within the surgical field.
Thermal coronary angiography
JAG Medical, Inc. (New York, NY) recently introduced the IRIS-III, a third-generation thermal coronary angiography (TCA) imaging system for use during open heart surgery. The system, which uses state-of-the-art infared technology, provides real-time images of the temperature differences between the blood vessels of the heart and the myocardium. It was designed to provide the surgeon with a noninvasive means of evaluating graft patency, anastomosis patency, and blood flow through native vessels following completion of coronary bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
"The system consists of a small mobile tower with a high-resolution camera, monochrome and color video monitors, and a separate control console," said Kym Secrist, vice president and director of marketing at JAG Medical. "The camera is designed to be positioned above the operative field during surgery. The control console contains an S-VHS videocassette recorder, controller, and a video printer."
"The IRIS-III contains both the thermal sensing array, as well as a charge-coupled device (CCD) panel for capturing visible images," he continued. "The thermal sensing array provides real-time images of the temperature differences between the blood vessels of the heart and the myocardium. These thermal images show the flow of blood through the exposed arteries without the need for ionizing radiation, such as an x-ray or angiography, or the use of contrast media."
According to the company, the infared-sensing array can sense temperature differences of <0.1šC.
With the present system, images can be saved and reviewed via the video recorder, and the frame can be printed on the video printer. The company is developing a digital version that will allow the images to be stored in a digital file and archived in a DICOM-3.0compliant format.
Daniel Swistel, MD, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at St. Luke's/ Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City, was the first U.S. surgeon to use this system. In an interview with Applied Radiology , he explained that this technology takes on added importance with the advent of "off-pump" coronary revascularization procedures, noting that questions have been raised about the accuracy of anastomotic construction performed on a beating heart.
"It is not possible with flow meters to get an absolute accurate assessment of flow," he said. "Depending on the vascular bed, flow through a vessel has a wide variation. Therefore, the surgeon can't really know if a graft is open just by measuring its flow. The infared camera gives you a real-time picture, not only of the graft, but of the anastomosis as well."
Swistel, who began using the system in February 2001, estimates that he now uses the IRIS-III in approximately 75% of his off-pump CABG procedures. "That is where I find it most useful," he said. "However, it is actually easier to use in 'on-pump' procedures due to how the system works. The camera works by measuring changes in temperature. In situations where the heart is being perfused by its normal blood supply constantly, it is hard to isolate the exact area you want to study from the surrounding blood supply. In an on-pump situation, there is no blood supply to the heart in general, so it is very easy to introduce any kind of flow into a graft and then see the contrast to the surrounding areas much more easily."
Swistel explained that the use of the IRIS-III does not negate the need for standard preoperative imaging studies. "It cannot replace a preoperative angiogram or the new high-speed computed tomography (CT) scan," he said. He did note that, in theory however, use of this technology could replace postoperative angiography. "This would probably function very well to document graft patency in the immediate postoperative period, which otherwise we cannot do unless we do a postoperative angiogram," he said. "But we don't do postoperative angiography routinely unless there are postoperative complications or if the procedure is part of a research protocol."
Although the IRIS-III is only indicated for use in CABG surgery currently, the manufacturer believes it has potential for other applications. "Right now, the indications for use are strictly for open heart surgery," said Secrist. "But, it is our opinion, and it will certainly be a focus of future research, that hospitals will also benefit from using this technology in transplant procedures, neurosurgery, and many other surgical applications in which differences in temperature exist among the various surfaces of the exposed anatomy. For example, we know that there is a distinct difference in temperature between a brain tumor and the brain tissue surrounding it. You may soon see an application using the IRIS-III whereby a neurosurgeon will be able to remove a brain tumor without destroying as much of the surrounding tissue."
Image Guidance
A second recently introduced surgical imaging system is the CBYON Suite by CBYON, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA). Ramin Shahidi, PhD, the company's founder and chief technology officer and director of the Image Guidance Laboratory of the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) explained how the volumetric navigational system works.
"In a nutshell," he said, "we take the patient's imaging data, whether it is preoperative or intraoperative, and we correlate all the data. We then construct the data into a 3-dimensional format and superimpose it on the patient's physical anatomy. Then, during surgery, we can track surgical tools in surgical space, in a manner similar to the global positioning systems used in cars. Two cameras track indicators attached to the surgical tools, telling the surgeon exactly where the surgical tool is with respect to that patient's imaging data."
According to the company, the tracking capability of this system is accurate to approximately 1 mm at best and 6 mm at worst.
What distinguishes the CBYON Suite from other available image guidance systems, said Shahidi, is that in addition to orienting surgeons, this system shows them what lies ahead. "We are giving the surgeon the ability to look through the tissue and see where the tumor is ahead of the surgical tools," he said. "The principle is that the surgeons already know where they are. They want to know what is ahead of them."
"Three-dimensional imaging has been around for a long time," he said, "but people don't really use it effectively because there is no standard for image acquisition, visualization, and interpretation of this technology. In order for this technology to be used effectively, there should be a 3-dimensional imaging protocol from the acquisition, through the visualization, and during the navigation of how you will utilize it." The CBYON Suite, he said, has customized the software to show the surgeon only the structures that are important for that particular phase of the surgery. CBYON has developed imaging protocols for the applications to which they believe 3-dimensionality adds the most value, in particular endoscopy, vascular, and tumor resection, sinus, and spinal applications.
Shahidi believes the future of image guidance and intraoperative imaging includes the development of:
* Smart tools, such as scalpels and suction tools, that contain embedded miniaturized nanno-sensors designed to perform intraoperative imaging and analysis;
* Robotic automation as an extension of surgeons' hands to help surgeons perform surgery more accurately and confidently;
* Increased visualization in the form of enhanced endoscopy; and
* Correlation of all the information in a user-friendly format that will not overwhelm the surgeon during surgery.
Currently, surgeons control these intraoperative imaging techniques. But that might not remain the case, and radiologists could use these devices in the future. As Secrist points out, "Radiologists need to understand all the possible imaging modalities in the hospital, because this is new technology and they may find additional applications for it."

I used Black Stardust over Sinlge Stage Chrome and topped it off with Super Gloss Clear on the valve cover of my S14 SR20DET and I can't get people to look away from it. In the shade it's very subtle, almost a gloss black, but when it's in the light it takes on an entirely new persona. -

BACK to EARTHQUAKES: One time in Venezuela, Hubby, my eldest son and I were having a very heated argument at the top of the stairs of all places. Suddenly a very bad earthquake hit and the entire house was rocking like a cruiseship in a Cat 3. We could hear the walls grinding and had little confidence the house would remain standing. Well, that argument ended FAST. We forgot what it was about and the three of us ran down those stairs so fast and out of the house at the breakneck speed. In fact, we were skipping steps as we ran down the stairs, taking two and three at a time. That city had been totally flattened by a severe eathquake in the 1800s. We weren't going to stay inside while we waited to find out if this one would be a repeat. All our neighbors were outside too and spent the night outside. |

We lived on the top floor of a brand-new 17-story apartment tower in Caracas, Venezuela. On New Year's Eve we felt the building sway and saw cracks form in the walls. My husband said "Let's get out of here!" So we took the elevator down. The next morning we asked our friends if they felt anything. No, they didn't, because their house was on the ground. We didn't know that 10 years earlier, a quake had destroyed the building on the very same site, as the fault is only a block away. You can see the fault line running down the mountain side into the downtown area. |

Gosh, that is amazing and what a coincidence! Could we have been in Venezuela at the same time? I think that earthquake hit us in Valencia about 1991 or 92. I am not sure. Our ten foot high garden wall separated from our house. We had wall cracks too. In 1812 there was an earthquake near Caracas that killed 26000 people, an enormous sum for those times in South America. I cannot find out for sure, but that may have been the same one that flattened Valencia, Maracay and Barquisimeto. |

Sure did Gunner. We had a tornado in Huntington Beach about 20 years ago that took off the roof of a friends house , peeled it back. Her son was in the bedroom and was hysterical I have heard . I was out of town at the time so didn't experience it . By the way theirs was the only house so damaged. Susan |

Widow: You are lucky you could take the elevator down. I was in a hotel in Orange County when the last big one hit down there. Don't recall the floor I was on but the elevators stopped working and it seemed like a long way down the stairs carrying a garment bag and a large, full briefcase. I think David is right about the New Madrid fault, but we are overdue for an ice age as well. Dennis |

Dennis , isn't it nice others get to experience earthquakes ? They are always saying they don't want to live in California because of them. Now they have come to the midwest. Seriously I have always been taught to never get on an elevator in an earthquake for exactly the reason you stated. They tend to stop. A friend of mine was just going to step into the elevator at the City Hall in San Jose just as the Loma Pirita Earthquake hit. She made a big dive for under her desk instead. The building was tall enough they figured it sway several inches both ways during the quake. She had an Old California style bungalow which had to be inspected before she could re enter it . Soooooo she camped in her backyard for several days. s Susan |

CleburneFan, our little tremor in Caracas was Dec. 31, 1980. We lived in La Floresta district, just a few blocks from the American Embassy, where I worked. No doubt the whole town has rocked many times since then. Valencia is a pretty town. We loved Venezuela! Patty |

Is there such thing as an unexpected gold from Russia?
BUFFALO Davai! Davai! Russian head coach Valeri Bragin cheered on his players when they needed it in the last two, tight games, and also in the practice on Tuesday that was somewhat different than at the time he used to be a player.North Americans who watched the practice might have noticed that the days of deadly serious and close-lipped players of the former Red Army Team touring through North America have gone.These juniors here in Buffalo showed overwhelming happiness on the day between the shootout win against Sweden and the gold-medal game against Canada.Bragin let them practise what they enjoy most: varying rushes to the net and shots that keep goalkeeper Dmitri Shikin hot, who has become Russias number-one netminder after the opening game, a 6-3 defeat to Canada.In between, the players were kidding around with their teammates and cheering each other after each penalty shot. Of course Bragin let them practise the shootout, essential work given that it was needed in the semi-finals game against Sweden.The good atmosphere is easy to explain, Bragin said. We reached the final after two hard games and for the first time in several years. The players really enjoy it. They could also recover a bit after two games in two days. The main goal before each tournament is to reach the gold medal game, so now we put pressure away for us and in the final its a 50-50 chance for each team.The gold-medal opponent will once again be Canada. An opponent he knows well as he was an assistant coach in 2005 when Russia lost the gold-medal game against the Canadians. And he played for the Soviet U20 national team in the unofficial World U20 Championships in 1975 in Canada and the U.S. and in 1976 in Finland, winning both round-robin events just before Canada.Of course he also followed on TV the great rivalry between the two nations when the Soviets played in the Super Series and Canada Cups.Those games beginning from 1972 gave a huge boost for the development of the game worldwide. It was really a really great event, Bragin remembered.Everybody in Russia expected us in the final this year and it will again be a classic rivalry. When the mens team won the World Championship in 2008 and 2009, the interest in hockey started rising again in Russia, so everybody back home is looking forward to the gold-medal game.Bragin has definitely understood how to bring this team together and how to form great team chemistry.We have a good locker room and guys helping each other and we showed that we can defeat any team, said defenceman Nikita Pivtsakin. But it is always a battle against Canada at any level. All the hockey world will follow this game and were looking forward to it. We really like the atmosphere here, and the pro-Canada atmosphere will give us extra motivation to score goals and silence the crowd.Looking at the roster, its striking that all but one player is 1991-born. Teammates know each other well from other youth selections. Yevgeni Kuznetsov is the only 1992-born player and the designated team leader for next year based on his strong performance here in Buffalo.Another thing, which confuses fans in North America more than in Russia, is that only players from Russian leagues got ice time in the last few games, but for Bragin thats not an issue.Theres no controversy about players who want to play junior hockey in Canada. Its good that everybody has the free choice whether they want to play in Russia or in Canada, Bragin said. I think the players we have on our team are the best, and theyre better than those playing in Canada.Bragin tested some of the 20 Russians from the Canadian Hockey League when the U20 national team travelled to Canada for the Super Series against all-star teams from the OHL, QMJHL and WHL, but he didnt select any but backup goalie Igor Bobkov.The Super Series really helped us in terms of mentality. The players got the feeling that they can beat Canadian teams, Bragin said. It was also an opportunity for the players to show they deserve and want to play in the World U20 Championship.The coach and the players dont talk about the past and want to forget the opening day loss against tomorrows opponent. They followed the semi-finals against the U.S. from the press tribune.We play better right now as a team and we want to make our country proud, Kuznetsov said, knowing that it wont be an easy task. Canada had a one-sided game against the U.S. in the semi-finals. We know Canada plays with a great spirit and emotions against us. They expect to win the gold medal, but back home in Russia they also expect from us to win the gold.May the better team bring the gold home.MARTIN MERK

In The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader," Lewis greatly expands the size of Narnia's known world, sending his characters across a vast expanse of ocean and to many islands, until they reach the Last Wave and the End of the World, beyond which is Aslan's country, high atop and beyond sheer cliffs. Once the ship reaches the Lone Islands, soon after picking up Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace, it sails from the island, heading roughly southeast until reaching the Last Wave.
A Narnian king has not visited the Lone Islands for hundreds of years, and its government has fallen into corruption and there is a slave market in Narrowhaven, the capital of the province. When Caspian asserts his authority, he bans slavery, removes the corrupt government, and appoints Lord Bern a duke and governor of the Lone Islands. Bern is one of the seven faithful lords that the usurper Miraz had sent on the suicide mission to explore the Eastern Sea.
As the Dawn Treader sails to the southeast, it is buffeted by a fierce storm, during which a sailor is lost. The main mast is broken in the storm, so the voyagers anchor at the next island they find in order to look for a tree suitable for replacing the mast. It is on this island that Eustace is transformed into a dragon, becoming in the flesh the monster he is in spirit, and it is on this island that Aslan begins his reforming of Eustace, washing away the penitent boy's sins.
The next island on the voyage...

Literary Qualities
The narrative voice of all the novels about the world of Narnia are told in a personable voice, with the occasional mention of "I," as in the sentence "'Why,' said I, 'was it so sad?'" in The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader." However, in this novel, the narrator takes his personal interjections to a level not found in the other chronicles. When he gets near the end of The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader." he says that Lucy actually told him that she, Edmund and Eustace experienced "a musical sound" and a smell that affected them profoundly. He says that "Edmund and Eustace would never talk about it afterwards. Lucy could only say, 'It would break your heart. "Why,' said I, 'was it so sad?"Sad? No,' said Lucy." This implies that the narrator has been told the story of the voyage of the Dawn Treader by Lucy herself and that the narrator had access to accounts by Edmund and Eustace. Perhaps Lewis hopes to enhance the impression that the Narnian novels are indeed chronicles, recorded by someone from eyewitness accounts.
The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" is a spiritual journey for some of the novel's characters. Caspian learns to assert his authority and to suppress his passions in favor of doing his duty. Lucy learns that Aslan follows his own rules, that she needs to overcome her envy of her sister Susan, and that she has a bond with Aslan on the earth. Edmund, too, learns that he must find Aslan in his own world. Eustace learns the value...
(The entire section is 1064 words.)
Social Sensitivity
Much of The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" depicts what constitutes just rule. In the case of Ramandu's Island, the rule of Ramandu extends only over his daughter and visitors, and he has received his commission from Aslan himself, which means Aslan takes a personal interest in how Ramandu conducts himself. One can see signs that the rule is just in Aslan's Table, which is always set with food that anyone may eat without fear or hindrance. Unjust rule is easy to spot in the Lone Islands. Slavery is abhorrent, a practice that is counter to Aslan's creed, laid out at the creation of Narnia's world in The Magician's Nephew— a creed that includes equality for all intelligent beings.
The Lone Islands are run by a corrupt government in which money is more important than people. When the governor argues with Caspian, he insists that Caspian does not understand the economics of the situation, that slavery is essential to the economy. Thus, one sign of unjust rule is that money matters more than people. This contrasts with Lord Bern's estate on the island of Avra, in the Lone Islands, where there are no slaves and everyone is properly paid. It also contrasts with Ramandu's Island, where everyone shares in Aslan's blessings, without distinction. A sign that Caspian is a just ruler is his risking his life to put an end to slavery and the money-grubbing rule of the governor. He is warned that Calormen might go to war over Caspian's ending of the slave...
(The entire section is 388 words.)
Topics for Discussion
1. Why would Caspian feel compelled to fulfill an oath he made to Aslan?
2. Why would Caspian want to go with Reepicheep beyond the Last Wave and to Aslan's country? What responsibilities would require him to return to Narnia, instead?
3. Why does Aslan consider Lucy's use of magic to look at a friend to be eavesdropping? Why would Aslan regard such eavesdropping as wrong?
4. Why is The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" to be the last adventure in Narnia for Lucy and Edmund? Why would Lewis decide to exclude them? Will you miss them?
5. What is the special connection between Lucy and Aslan? How does her relationship with Aslan shape events in The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader?"
6. What is the point of having Aslan appear first as a lamb at the end of The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader?"
7. Why does Eustace become a dragon? What does this say about his personality?
8. How does Ramandu differ from Coriakin?
9. If Eustace is such a pest, why do the other voyagers not just throw him overboard and be done with him?
10. Why does Aslan tell Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace that they must enter Aslan's country from their world?
(The entire section is 196 words.)
Ideas for Reports and Papers
1. Where is slavery found in "The Chronicles of Narnia"? Who are the slave owners? Who are the slaves? How does each group stand in relation to Aslan?
2. The Dawn Treader is similar to a Viking longboat. What did Viking longboats look like? Where did they sail? In what ways does the Dawn Treader resemble a Viking longboat?
3. Draw or paint a picture of the Dawn Treader. Pay careful attention to the descriptions in The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" and remember that it is a colorful ship.
4. When Caspian wishes to journey all the way to Asian's country, he is told that he has responsibilities that require him to do his duty rather than what he wants to do. What was the medieval concept of a good king? What responsibilities would the good king be expected to fulfill?
5. Asian appears in several places in The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader." What is the purpose of each appearance? What do the other characters learn from each appearance of Aslan?
6. There are two great tables in "The Chronicles of Narnia": the Stone Table that appears in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian and Aslan's Table that appears in The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader." In what ways do the tables differ from one another? What does each symbolize? Why would Lewis link the two by having the stone knife that killed Asian while he was on the Stone Table be kept on Aslan's Table?...
(The entire section is 335 words.)
Lewis said that his publisher chose the order in which his Narnia books were published, and when asked in what order they should be read, if possible, he provided this sequence:
The Magician's Nephew
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader"
The Silver Chair
The Last Battle
Each novel can stand on its own, without being read in any particular order, but the sequence Lewis preferred is chronological, from the beginning of Narnia's world to its ending.
The Magician's Nephew was written after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, so Lewis had the task of making his account of the beginning of Narnia's world match the events that would later occur in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. In The Magician's Nephew, he provides explanations for the origins of the mysterious lamp post in the woods, the White Witch, the wide variety of talking animals, and the introductions of evil into Aslan's young world. The Professor in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is presented as the boy Digory.
In the period between the events in The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the kingdom of Archenland, south of Narnia, is established by the younger son of...

Built tough, an impact-resistant, lightweight aluminum casing resists rust and corrosion. Tested and rated to ANSI/FL1 standards, the HP7 also features an unbreakable LED and rubberized O-ring for reliable water resistance and durability. Backed by Coast's lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship.
