Cook Medical Invites Urologists to Join Cook Medical's Resonance® Metallic Ureteral Stent Registry
Las Vegas, Nev., November 4, 2014 — Five-year results from the largest and longest-running clinical trial of a drug-eluting stent for treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) confirmed long-term patency for patients treated with Zilver PTX.
The results were presented today by Michael Dake, M.D., of Stanford University, at the 2014 Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA) meeting.
Data from the Zilver® PTX® Randomized Controlled Trial of Paclitaxel-Eluting Stents for Femoropopliteal Disease showed 5-year primary patency of 66.4 percent in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) for patients treated with Cook's paclitaxel-eluting stent. This compares to 43.4 percent patency for patients with balloon angioplasty or provisional bare metal stent placement.1
"At five years, Zilver PTX demonstrated a 48 percent reduction in reintervention and a 41 percent reduction in restenosis compared to standard care," Dr. Dake told the VIVA audience. "Five-year data for Zilver PTX versus bare metal stenting confirm a sustained benefit for the paclitaxel-eluting stent. Zilver PTX continues to show benefit through five years with no late catch-up."
"Cook's commitment to providing clinical evidence of the effectiveness of drug-eluting devices in the peripheral vessels is unmatched. With this new data showing durable patency at five years, we're confident our Zilver PTX stent offers PAD patients a lasting benefit," said Mark Breedlove, vice president and global leader of Cook Medical's Peripheral Intervention clinical division.
The Zilver PTX Randomized Trial of Paclitaxel-Eluting Stents for Femoropoliteal Artery Disease was a 479-patient multicenter, prospective, randomized study. It was designed to evaluate the PTX stent as a treatment for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral artery (SFA).
Dr. Dake, a global principal investigator for the Zilver PTX trial, is a paid consultant to Cook Medical regarding the research and development of medical devices.

The use of this drug-eluting peripheral stent carries the risks associated with peripheral artery stenting including vascular complications, and/or bleeding events.

Italian composer Luca Ciut was born in Italy and after composing ballets and soundtracking theatre and TV productions in the country of his birth, he decamped to the USA to take on a chance at film scoring at the UCLA. 'Seventeen Million Lonely Angels' is a project inspired by the sounds of Los Angeles and one where his outsider view paints a very different picture from the one we are used to seeing.
It is a rare album indeed which chooses to begin with simultaneous samples of police sirens and bird song. They are very much in the background though as Ciut's fluid piano melodies and cello accompaniment stride into view; already giving a unique and unexpected perspective of LA living. 'The Time Is Now' is bright and cheerful, with the twinkling keys giving voice to summers past and summers to come but thereafter the mood is largely downbeat yet never depressing. Thanks to the heavy, even breathing underscoring it, one assumes that 'New Obsession' indicates a devotion to running and 'A Quiet Place' dips its toes into jazz.
Of the two tracks containing vocals, the melancholic shadows painted on 'Things Are Getting Better' contrast the title completely, suggesting nothing but dark times lie ahead whilst 'Back To Life' is elegantly matched with waves and mournful trumpet. Elsewhere, the album hits on a consistently pleasant patch rising from its relative slumber for the stirring 'Lonely Creatures' and concluding quietly with a stately 'More Than You Think'.
Piano music is often the obvious choice for soundtrack work. It's subtle enough to exist in the background; occasionally happy to run in parallel with the dialogue but also stirring enough to encourage emotional reactions. Pleasingly, there is a triumphant air to some of these instrumentals and some well chosen samples, which not only affirms why Ciut has been selected for a number of soundtrack commissions but also makes one think that piano music doesn't always have to be morose.

The USC Alumni Club of Orange County would like to invite you, your family and/or company holiday event to our 15th Annual USC at the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade.
Hailed by local media as "one of the top ten holiday events" The Orange County Alumni Club has chartered the 140-foot, Four-Decks, Ultra Luxurious - Eternity Yacht during the 110th Annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Our club's signature event of the year will be hosted on Friday, December 21th with 250+ attendees.
Guests will cruise the harbor enjoying a 360-degree view of holiday decorated homes, landscapes, and festive multi-million dollar yachts. Whether enjoying the atmosphere of the open-air upper level, enjoying dinner in one of the 2 main salons, or dancing in the expansive lounge, the night will surely be one to remember!
Proceeds raised from the event go towards scholarships helping our young, talented, Orange County students accomplish their dreams with the Trojan Family.
**Ticket cancellation with a refund will be limited up until December 7th. We will not be able to provide a refund for cancellations after this date.
The USC Alumni Club of Orange County is proud to thank the USC Credit Union, whose generosity and dedication to our mission make possible so many important programs and scholarships for Trojan alumni and students. Learn more about the USC Credit Union's Orange County branch here.
Registration opens at 6PM and the yacht will be departing promptly at 6:30PM. We cannot hold the boat for anyone running late and refunds cannot be given as we cannot fill your seat. We recommend arriving no later than 6PM, but also, keep in mind traffic can be very congested during the boat parade evenings. The boat will return to dock at 10:30PM for disembarkation.
The Eternity. Spacious, elegant and versatile, this is the fleet's only yacht with four decks. The exterior is sleek and contemporary, characterized by its large windows and clean white finish. Inside, luxurious touches, such as polished rails and window frames, give the vessel its distinction as a wedding venue. The Eternity measures 140 feet in length and a roomy 33 feet in width, providing a total capacity of 300 people.
Please bring either your Eventbrite printout or your phone with your ticket (on the Eventbrite app). One of our volunteers will check in your party at the registration table. We will then direct you to a line towards the ramp. A second volunteer will direct you down the ramp to our boat, which will have a USC banner.
Holiday Cocktail Attire is required essentially meaning business casual, but nice jeans are acceptable. Most males will be in slacks, button up shirts and possibly a sport coat and most females will be in nice slacks with fashionable shirt or skirts and dresses. No shorts or sandals. Keep in mind there are outdoor spaces/open windows through certain parts on the yacht please bring a jacket/dress warm.
The Athena cannot accept credit cards on board so please bring a sufficient amount of cash to cover your bar tab. A complimentary glass of champagne will be provided upon boarding.
Please email us directly if you and/or someone in your group has a serious dietary restriction or food allergy. We will do our best to accommodate.
There will be no refunds granted once your ticket is purchased. The club has already paid non-refundable balances to the yacth company and Newport Harbor Coast Guard per head regardless of age. People can be added to tickets or exchanged to someone else if you can no longer attend (please send us an email as well). Thank you for understanding.
Be wary of holiday traffic on the 405 and 55 freeways. We recomend using the Waze app and giving yourself atleast 1 1/2 hours if you're coming from Los Angeles. Also alot time to park (there will be a lot of cars making that left hand turn into the parking structure) and time to register.
Below you will find a picture for directions to Electra Cruises parking structure (Lido Marina Village Public Parking). Note, if you simply insert the yacht company's address into your GPS you will NOT be directed towards the structure. Parking is $10 per car (you must mention USC) and carpooling will be greatly appreciated due to the high demand for parking. The directions are to the company's office, though the boat is located across the brick street and through the breezeway. The boat is named ETERNITY, but you will see a check in table that is USC-branded.


Just 315 days after the 2009 Adelaide Fringe finished, I've wrapped up my blog posts. Blimey, that was a tough year; a truckload of shows (one-hundred-and-three. 103!), blogging as much as I could, traipsing along to all the visual arts displays, as well as still turning up to the office (of the fourteen days annual leave I was supposed to be taking, I managed six).
It all started with a surprising discovery; the Illy / UCB on Rundle Street, preferred purveyor of caffeine for this little Festival Freak, was no more… leaving me to acquire coffee from other establishments of less pleasing quality. Still, Illy's loss is Cibo's gain, especially given the latter's rock-solid leechable WiFi access.
For the record, I spent $2267.40 on shows this year; yes, fair reader, I really do buy all my own tickets. Of that, $277.75 went to FringeTIX – I was thinking of making some crass joke about ownership to one of the FringeTIX desk jockettes, but wisely determined that such a comment would be completely misinterpreted and liable to prosecution.
Crikey. As great as the Sound & Fury guys are, I'm not convinced that the People who made their Choice could possibly had seen Circus Trick Tease or the superlative-inducing The Boy with Tape on his Face.
Ah. There we are. Nice little consolation prize there.
Oooh, bit of a snub to Holden Street there; Higher Ground is still plagued by nasty sight-lines in the basement, though the café upstairs is pretty good.
As much as I adore the highlights of the Playground girls (and Capture certainly contained one of the Fringe highlights), I'd have given this to Out of the Dark.
No Washington? Jess Ribeiro was also a revelation.
Can't really comment on this, though Ice, Ice was darkly wonderful.
Again, I don't really feel qualified (ho ho – like I'm ever qualified) to comment on this one either.
Cellblock Booty is "emerging"? Is that a poor physical pun?
One of the few categories where I'd seen all the nominees, this was probably a toss-up between Death in Bowengabbie and Six Minute Soul Mate… I would've gone the other way, myself, even if Soul Mate did provide some of the most confronting moments of the Fringe.
Another one I'd seen all of; it's pretty hard to go past Guy O'Grady for me.
What's this one all about, then? The Sydney Morning Herald tells it best, though The Advertiser reported that this was awarded to the Hylands on the basis that they'd seen a "record" 80-odd shows. Bless.
As for my own highlights… well, the shows are mentioned here, but more important for me was the experience. The people I met. The couple that offered me the best seat in the house for Washington. The girl with the gorgeous eyes at Holden Street, remembering my birthday with a smile and a plump glass of wine. Michelle, yet another one of those arty people who simultaneously inspire and depress me with their innate ability.
And, most importantly, all the artists. Every single one of them – whether I loved your show, or thought it was worthless crapulence, I utterly admire your ability to step onto that stage and attempt to deliver your vision.
And so, to 2010… it's time to start scheduling!


Language Tools - Do you agree with everything in the video?
Do you agree with everything in the video?
This video is both motivating and useful, but there are some things I disagree with. I will discuss them shortly, but I want to give you guys a chance to have your say without being influenced by me. What do you think of it? Is there anything you disagree with?
Learning a language becomes easier when you're around natives who speak the language because consciously or subconsciously,you're picking up a word or two. But again it all boils down to your level of interest in the language.
I agree with what they said about the levels of learning, once you get past the initial difficulties, it becomes easier for you to proceed.
The part I found the most interesting is the 'no english' method. In my opinion,that would only work when you're in the country of the language you're learning. Take for example, I'm in Nigeria,how am I supposed to speak just French? Who would I be speaking it to? So I think that method of learning is limited to those who are around native speakers of the language they're learning.
Yes, it's both motivating and useful. But for me, if the learner is very interested in learning the language, he/she naturally can create steps of his/her own to effectively learn the said language even without following the same steps/methods that are being discussed in the video.
1)	The big secret revealed in this video is "Don't speak English". It's good advice depending on the context, but they call it a method, which is silly. A language learning method is simply the way that one learns a language. If you tell me your method, I know how you learn languages. After I watched their video, other than conversing a lot, hanging out with Benny Lewis and avoiding speaking English, I have no idea what they did to learn those 4 languages in one year. "Don't speak English" isn't a method; it's a principle that they use in their method, or a rule they don't break while learning languages.
I liked their swimming metaphor. I think adults are only better if they have kept their brains in the habit of learning things. I think the don't speak English is too oversimplified. I think moderately used it is integral for example implement french Fridays and only speak in the language you are learning .
Hmm... Well, the video is interesting, though their findings are a bit useless. Don't we all wish we could go live somewhere else in the world for immersion, and learn that way? However, evidently, that's not possible for most people, for reasons of resources.
I am also a little bit divided. I guess unless you pay a lot of different people to engage you in a variety of topics, you will end up with this over-confidence in your language skills, when the reality of your grasp of the language is quite far from your self-assessment. I do agree that we tend to learn what we use the most on a daily basis, but on the other hand, language lessons are there to make you learn things that you will need to broaden the conversation. So, then, you end up with a different problem. You're continually stuck in this stage of kinda/sorta functional fluency, but you never really advance to idiomatically understanding a language, or assessing the culture behind it.
C'mon Mei, there are 3 google hits for that.
It is very contradictory on the one hand it says the biggest obstacle in learning a language is the fear of getting it wrong and having a go. Which I completely agree with but by jumping in and learning a language just by immersing yourself and learning language of necessity you will inevitably become stuck in a comfort zone of specific topics you can speak about with relative fluency. I think one of the most important things about learning a language is learning how you as an individual learn a language best. Once you have a method that works you can learn much more than the books can teach . I am a real advocate for immersion having been a top-level student in Spanish and then moving to Spain to find I cannot be understood but I think their ideas are flawed.

Ticonderoga Expands in Seminole County

Dixon Ticonderoga to add 20 new jobs in next three years
Seminole County, Fla. – Dixon Ticonderoga Company, an industry leading manufacturer of writing instruments, art supplies, and other tools, will expand its Orlando area company headquarters in Lake Mary, Florida with the addition of 20 new jobs and a capital investment of $1,500,000 over the next three years.

Radio prank expands Australia's broadcasting authority remit
A radio prank that lead to tragic consequences may end up expanding Australia's broadcast authority's powers
BY HELEN CLARK
It began like many other radio pranks. On 4 December last year two hosts from 2DayFM in Australia called the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in London impersonating the Queen and Prince Charles. Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge, was there being treated for morning sickness.
Hosts Mel Greig and Michael Christian spoke to nurse Jacintha Saldhana who put the call through to the ward. Later horrified by the fallout and attacks upon her in the press, she killed herself. The immediate fallout was tragic but there may be wider ramifications in Australia.
This is not the first time a prank by a broadcaster has had unexpected consequences. In 2007 the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's The Chaser's War on Everything programme – mostly concerned with political satire – managed to breach security at the APEC Summit and get within metres of US President George W. Bush's hotel to offload comedian Chas Liccardello dressed as Osama Bin Laden. In the end little came of it save embarrassment for those heading the AUD150 million security concern.
However, thanks to the tragic outcome of the radio stunt the Australian Communications Media Authority has weighed in, deciding that the station's broadcast of their conversation with Saldhana breached laws, specifically whether in recording then broadcasting the call the station breached the Surveillance Devices Act.
Then in early November the Federal Court ruled that ACMA could in fact investigate and decide criminal guilt, but does not actually determine criminal guilt. This significantly broadens ACMA's powers and, according to Addison's law firm this "may lead to adverse licensing consequences for broadcasters in relation to conduct that the ACMA finds has contravened the criminal law, even where a police investigation has not been thought appropriate or necessary."
Justice Richard Edmonds found that in this case future criminal proceedings were irrelevant in this case as they are not proceeding and "an administrative process cannot constitute an interference with the due administration of justice in criminal proceedings which have not yet commenced,"
In other words the broadcasting regulator can decide criminal guilt in cases that are not under criminal investigation.
Whilst ACMA chairman Chris Chapman told media it, "provides clarity over the operation of the licence condition that prohibits broadcasters from using their broadcasting service in the commission of an offence."
Others are less certain. In June the lawyer acting for the station characterised the ruling body acting as "policeman, prosecutor, judge, jury, prison warden and parole officer" when it delivered its preliminary findings.
Justine Munsie a partner at Addisons law firm in Sydney, said in an interview that it adds "another level of quasi-criminal jurisdiction into the mix when commercial radio and TV broadcasters make decisions regarding publication. However, whereas normally the criminal standard of proof normally applies, this new level applies only the civil standard which may make broadcasters more cautious in broadcasting certain matters"
Martin Hirst, Associate Professor and media lecturer at Deakin University in Melbourne and former journalist, said it "creates an effective and worrying grey area between jurisdictions. The ACMA can determine that a criminal action has occurred and use this as the basis for action against a licensee, without the claim of criminality being fully tested in a court of law. Perhaps ACMA is better to wait the outcome of criminal proceedings before pursuing its own regime of sanctions."

The 1999–2000 NBA season was the San Antonio Spurs' 24th season in the National Basketball Association, their 27th season as the Spurs, and their 33rd season as a franchise. After having won their first NBA championship in 1999, where they defeated the #8 seed New York Knicks in five games, the Spurs signed free agents Terry Porter, Samaki Walker and Chucky Brown during the off-season. However, prior to the season, Sean Elliott was diagnosed with a kidney disorder, and missed the first four months of the season. He would then receive a kidney transplant from his brother, Noel. The Spurs were originally scheduled to play two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Tokyo, Japan in November during the first month of the regular season, but because they won the NBA championship, they were obligated to play in the McDonald's Championship in Milan, Italy in October.

In 1999-2000, the Spurs won 14 of their first 17 games, including a 7-game winning streak. The team held a 32–17 record at the All-Star break, with Tim Duncan and David Robinson both being selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game, where Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers were both named co-MVP's. At midseason, Brown was released to free agency and re-signed with the Charlotte Hornets. On March 14, the Spurs' playoff spirits would get a lift when Elliott returned and played in the final 19 games. However, as the season wounded down, Duncan suffered a knee injury, as the Spurs finished second in the Midwest Division with a 53–29 record. Without Duncan, they were eliminated in the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs by the 5th-seeded Phoenix Suns in four games.

Duncan averaged 23.2 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and was named to the All-NBA First Team, and to the NBA All-Defensive First Team, while Robinson averaged 17.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, and was selected to the All-NBA Third Team. In addition, Avery Johnson provided the team with 11.2 points and 6.0 assists per game, while Porter contributed 9.4 points per game off the bench, Mario Elie provided with 7.5 points per game, and Malik Rose averaged 6.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game off the bench. Duncan also finished in fifth place in Most Valuable Player voting.

Following the season, Elie signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns, and Jerome Kersey signed with the Milwaukee Bucks during the next season.

McLaren versus Aston Martin – this will be one of the most exiting fights of the year. Zak Brown expects Vettel to be a tough opponent
It might be the most exciting duel behind the fight between Mercedes and Red Bull for the world championship title: McLaren-Mercedes against Aston Martin-Mercedes! Not only is this a battle between two Mercedes customer teams. The constellation of two German top performers is also explosive. Sebastian Vettel (33) wants to bring Aston Martin forward as a leading driver, Andreas Seidl wants to take the next step back to the top of Formula 1 as team principal with McLaren.
McLaren managing director Zak Brown also believes that the two buddies will meet as opponents. During the McLaren presentation, the US-American said: "Given the car they (Aston Martin) have – they have the fastest car next to Mercedes – they will be hard to beat."
Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing
Brown is referring to the extremely close cooperation between Aston Martin and Mercedes. The British sports car manufacturer's team not only gets its powertrain from Mercedes High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth, but also receives other parts such as the rear axle, gearbox and front suspension from Brackley. In 2020, Aston's predecessor team Racing Point took this cooperation to the extreme, copying almost the entire previous year's Mercedes – including bodywork and aerodynamics. This is no longer permitted. Nevertheless, the new Vettel team is still allowed to use the aforementioned 2020 Mercedes parts in 2021. This corresponds to an update without Aston Martin having to spend development tokens on it.
It also means that they can concentrate on other areas in the evolution of the car. Accordingly, team principal Otmar Szafnauer had already revealed that Vettel will get a car that is going to reuse less than 70 per cent of the parts from last year. "We have a new undertray, new bodyworks, a new engine cover, a new chassis and new wings," the US-American stated.

And they just have Vettel behind the wheel. Zak Brown: "Sebastian is a four-time world champion and even if he didn't have a great year last year, I'm sure he'll give his best again and be highly motivated."
Der neue McLaren MCL35M
The pundits are also looking forward to the McLaren versus Aston Martin fight. "I have great confidence in both of them," Ralf Schumacher told F1-Insider.com. "McLaren made the right step with the Mercedes engines. Aston Martin made the right move to bring Sebastian Vettel in, who now has to prove that he was sold short at Ferrari the last few years."
But he also rates the German team principal component highly at McLaren. "Andreas Seidl is for me one of the best technical managers in Formula 1. I think a lot of him. It will be exciting to watch who will be more important for the team – Vettel or Seidl."
McLaren on the road back to the top
Former team boss Eddie Jordan also sees McLaren on the road back to the front. "McLaren will return to their old strength in the future," he told F1-Insider.com. "I think their big time will come in 2022. Vettel absolutely has to perform this year and beat Stroll. Lance can be very quick but he has lacked consistency so far. Driver-wise, McLaren is better equipped. Ricciardo is one of the best and Norris is a super talent."
McLaren versus Aston Martin. Mercedes customer versus Mercedes premium partner. Seidl versus Vettel. The tension is rising…

Q: Is it possible to "hack" Python's print function? Note: This question is for informational purposes only. I am interested to see how deep into Python's internals it is possible to go with this.
Not very long ago, a discussion began inside a certain question regarding whether the strings passed to print statements could be modified after/during the call to print has been made. For example, consider the function:
def print_something():
    print('This cat was scared.')

Now, when print is run, then the output to the terminal should display:
This dog was scared.

Notice the word "cat" has been replaced by the word "dog". Something somewhere somehow was able to modify those internal buffers to change what was printed. Assume this is done without the original code author's explicit permission (hence, hacking/hijacking).
This comment from the wise @abarnert, in particular, got me thinking:

There are a couple of ways to do that, but they're all very ugly, and
  should never be done. The least ugly way is to probably replace the
  code object inside the function with one with a different co_consts
  list. Next is probably reaching into the C API to access the str's
  internal buffer. [...]

So, it looks like this is actually possible.
Here's my naive way of approaching this problem:
>>> import inspect
>>> exec(inspect.getsource(print_something).replace('cat', 'dog'))
>>> print_something()
This dog was scared.

Of course, exec is bad, but that doesn't really answer the question, because it does not actually modify anything during when/after print is called.
How would it be done as @abarnert has explained it?

A: A simple way to capture all output from a print function and then process it, is to change the output stream to something else, e.g. a file.
I'll use a PHP naming conventions (ob_start, ob_get_contents,...)
from functools import partial
output_buffer = None
print_orig = print
def ob_start(fname="print.txt"):
    global print
    global output_buffer
    print = partial(print_orig, file=output_buffer)
    output_buffer = open(fname, 'w')
def ob_end():
    global output_buffer
    close(output_buffer)
    print = print_orig
def ob_get_contents(fname="print.txt"):
    return open(fname, 'r').read()

Usage:
print ("Hi John")
ob_start()
print ("Hi John")
ob_end()
print (ob_get_contents().replace("Hi", "Bye"))

Would print

Hi John
  Bye John

A: Let's combine this with frame introspection!
import sys

_print = print

def print(*args, **kw):
    frame = sys._getframe(1)
    _print(frame.f_code.co_name)
    _print(*args, **kw)

def greetly(name, greeting = "Hi")
    print(f"{greeting}, {name}!")

class Greeter:
    def __init__(self, greeting = "Hi"):
        self.greeting = greeting
    def greet(self, name):
        print(f"{self.greeting}, {name}!")

You'll find this trick prefaces every greeting with the calling function or method. This might be very useful for logging or debugging; especially as it lets you "hijack" print statements in third party code.

A: Monkey-patch print
print is a builtin function so it will use the print function defined in the builtins module (or __builtin__ in Python 2). So whenever you want to modify or change the behavior of a builtin function you can simply reassign the name in that module.
This process is called monkey-patching.
# Store the real print function in another variable otherwise
# it will be inaccessible after being modified.
_print = print

# Actual implementation of the new print
def custom_print(*args, **options):
    _print('custom print called')
    _print(*args, **options)

# Change the print function globally
import builtins
builtins.print = custom_print

After that every print call will go through custom_print, even if the print is in an external module.
However you don't really want to print additional text, you want to change the text that is printed. One way to go about that is to replace it in the string that would be printed:
_print = print

def custom_print(*args, **options):
    # Get the desired seperator or the default whitspace
    sep = options.pop('sep', ' ')
    # Create the final string
    printed_string = sep.join(args)
    # Modify the final string
    printed_string = printed_string.replace('cat', 'dog')
    # Call the default print function
    _print(printed_string, **options)

import builtins
builtins.print = custom_print

And indeed if you run:
>>> def print_something():
...     print('This cat was scared.')
>>> print_something()
This dog was scared.

Or if you write that to a file:
test_file.py
def print_something():
    print('This cat was scared.')

print_something()

and import it:
>>> import test_file
This dog was scared.
>>> test_file.print_something()
This dog was scared.

So it really works as intended.
However, in case you only temporarily want to monkey-patch print you could wrap this in a context-manager:
import builtins

class ChangePrint(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.old_print = print

    def __enter__(self):
        def custom_print(*args, **options):
            # Get the desired seperator or the default whitspace
            sep = options.pop('sep', ' ')
            # Create the final string
            printed_string = sep.join(args)
            # Modify the final string
            printed_string = printed_string.replace('cat', 'dog')
            # Call the default print function
            self.old_print(printed_string, **options)

        builtins.print = custom_print

    def __exit__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        builtins.print = self.old_print

So when you run that it depends on the context what is printed:
>>> with ChangePrint() as x:
...     test_file.print_something()
...
This dog was scared.
>>> test_file.print_something()
This cat was scared.

So that's how you could "hack" print by monkey-patching.
Modify the target instead of the print
If you look at the signature of print you'll notice a file argument which is sys.stdout by default. Note that this is a dynamic default argument (it really looks up sys.stdout every time you call print) and not like normal default arguments in Python. So if you change sys.stdout print will actually print to the different target even more convenient that Python also provides a redirect_stdout function (from Python 3.4 on, but it's easy to create an equivalent function for earlier Python versions).
The downside is that it won't work for print statements that don't print to sys.stdout and that creating your own stdout isn't really straightforward.
import io
import sys

class CustomStdout(object):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.current_stdout = sys.stdout

    def write(self, string):
        self.current_stdout.write(string.replace('cat', 'dog'))

However this also works:
>>> import contextlib
>>> with contextlib.redirect_stdout(CustomStdout()):
...     test_file.print_something()
...
This dog was scared.
>>> test_file.print_something()
This cat was scared.

Summary
Some of these points have already be mentioned by @abarnet but I wanted to explore these options in more detail. Especially how to modify it across modules (using builtins/__builtin__) and how to make that change only temporary (using contextmanagers).

A: First, there's actually a much less hacky way. All we want to do is change what print prints, right?
_print = print
def print(*args, **kw):
    args = (arg.replace('cat', 'dog') if isinstance(arg, str) else arg
            for arg in args)
    _print(*args, **kw)

Or, similarly, you can monkeypatch sys.stdout instead of print.

Also, nothing wrong with the exec … getsource … idea. Well, of course there's plenty wrong with it, but less than what follows here…

But if you do want to modify the function object's code constants, we can do that.
If you really want to play around with code objects for real, you should use a library like bytecode (when it's finished) or byteplay (until then, or for older Python versions) instead of doing it manually. Even for something this trivial, the CodeType initializer is a pain; if you actually need to do stuff like fixing up lnotab, only a lunatic would do that manually.
Also, it goes without saying that not all Python implementations use CPython-style code objects. This code will work in CPython 3.7, and probably all versions back to at least 2.2 with a few minor changes (and not the code-hacking stuff, but things like generator expressions), but it won't work with any version of IronPython.
import types

def print_function():
    print ("This cat was scared.")

def main():
    # A function object is a wrapper around a code object, with
    # a bit of extra stuff like default values and closure cells.
    # See inspect module docs for more details.
    co = print_function.__code__
    # A code object is a wrapper around a string of bytecode, with a
    # whole bunch of extra stuff, including a list of constants used
    # by that bytecode. Again see inspect module docs. Anyway, inside
    # the bytecode for string (which you can read by typing
    # dis.dis(string) in your REPL), there's going to be an
    # instruction like LOAD_CONST 1 to load the string literal onto
    # the stack to pass to the print function, and that works by just
    # reading co.co_consts[1]. So, that's what we want to change.
    consts = tuple(c.replace("cat", "dog") if isinstance(c, str) else c
                   for c in co.co_consts)
    # Unfortunately, code objects are immutable, so we have to create
    # a new one, copying over everything except for co_consts, which
    # we'll replace. And the initializer has a zillion parameters.
    # Try help(types.CodeType) at the REPL to see the whole list.
    co = types.CodeType(
        co.co_argcount, co.co_kwonlyargcount, co.co_nlocals,
        co.co_stacksize, co.co_flags, co.co_code,
        consts, co.co_names, co.co_varnames, co.co_filename,
        co.co_name, co.co_firstlineno, co.co_lnotab,
        co.co_freevars, co.co_cellvars)
    print_function.__code__ = co
    print_function()

main()

What could go wrong with hacking up code objects? Mostly just segfaults, RuntimeErrors that eat up the whole stack, more normal RuntimeErrors that can be handled, or garbage values that will probably just raise a TypeError or AttributeError when you try to use them. For examples, try creating a code object with just a RETURN_VALUE with nothing on the stack (bytecode b'S\0' for 3.6+, b'S' before), or with an empty tuple for co_consts when there's a LOAD_CONST 0 in the bytecode, or with varnames decremented by 1 so the highest LOAD_FAST actually loads a freevar/cellvar cell. For some real fun, if you get the lnotab wrong enough, your code will only segfault when run in the debugger.
Using bytecode or byteplay won't protect you from all of those problems, but they do have some basic sanity checks, and nice helpers that let you do things like insert a chunk of code and let it worry about updating all offsets and labels so you can't get it wrong, and so on. (Plus, they keep you from having to type in that ridiculous 6-line constructor, and having to debug the silly typos that come from doing so.)

Now on to #2.
I mentioned that code objects are immutable. And of course the consts are a tuple, so we can't change that directly. And the thing in the const tuple is a string, which we also can't change directly. That's why I had to build a new string to build a new tuple to build a new code object.
But what if you could change a string directly?
Well, deep enough under the covers, everything is just a pointer to some C data, right? If you're using CPython, there's a C API to access the objects, and you can use ctypes to access that API from within Python itself, which is such a terrible idea that they put a pythonapi right there in the stdlib's ctypes module. :) The most important trick you need to know is that id(x) is the actual pointer to x in memory (as an int).
Unfortunately, the C API for strings won't let us safely get at the internal storage of an already-frozen string. So screw safely, let's just read the header files and find that storage ourselves.
If you're using CPython 3.4 - 3.7 (it's different for older versions, and who knows for the future), a string literal from a module that's made of pure ASCII is going to be stored using the compact ASCII format, which means the struct ends early and the buffer of ASCII bytes follows immediately in memory. This will break (as in probably segfault) if you put a non-ASCII character in the string, or certain kinds of non-literal strings, but you can read up on the other 4 ways to access the buffer for different kinds of strings.
To make things slightly easier, I'm using the superhackyinternals project off my GitHub. (It's intentionally not pip-installable because you really shouldn't be using this except to experiment with your local build of the interpreter and the like.)
import ctypes
import internals # https://github.com/abarnert/superhackyinternals/blob/master/internals.py

def print_function():
    print ("This cat was scared.")

def main():
    for c in print_function.__code__.co_consts:
        if isinstance(c, str):
            idx = c.find('cat')
            if idx != -1:
                # Too much to explain here; just guess and learn to
                # love the segfaults...
                p = internals.PyUnicodeObject.from_address(id(c))
                assert p.compact and p.ascii
                addr = id(c) + internals.PyUnicodeObject.utf8_length.offset
                buf = (ctypes.c_int8 * 3).from_address(addr + idx)
                buf[:3] = b'dog'

    print_function()

main()

If you want to play with this stuff, int is a whole lot simpler under the covers than str. And it's a lot easier to guess what you can break by changing the value of 2 to 1, right? Actually, forget imagining, let's just do it (using the types from superhackyinternals again):
>>> n = 2
>>> pn = PyLongObject.from_address(id(n))
>>> pn.ob_digit[0]
2
>>> pn.ob_digit[0] = 1
>>> 2
1
>>> n * 3
3
>>> i = 10
>>> while i < 40:
...     i *= 2
...     print(i)
10
10
10

… pretend that code box has an infinite-length scrollbar.
I tried the same thing in IPython, and the first time I tried to evaluate 2 at the prompt, it went into some kind of uninterruptable infinite loop. Presumably it's using the number 2 for something in its REPL loop, while the stock interpreter isn't?

The funniest thing I've seen in awhile is the courtroom sketch drawing of Tom Brady.
NOTE: Of course, I couldn't even remember what his name was a minute ago. Luckily Google was able to find it for me when I typed in "courtroom sketch of football guy". Google knows us better than we know ourselves.
Actually the funniest thing to me is the uproar about the ugly sketch.
Yes, Tom Brady is a good looking man -- a top notch specimen -- and the sketch certainly does him no favors; however, do his fans really need to get on their high horse and complain about it? My first thought is don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
If the accusations are true, Tom Brady cheated. He doesn't get to have John Singer Sargent draw his face the way his fans (and probably he) would prefer it drawn.
I think the same thing about the people who abuse and neglect children. Yes, CPS caseworkers sometimes make mistakes. Horrible mistakes. Life and death stuff. But, to fry the CPS system when a child is harmed because they weren't able to intervene fast enough or (more often than not) they weren't legally able to intervene at all, pisses me off. The parents are the ones who did the crime.
Almost every time CPS did the best they could with the information they had. The parents are the criminals.
Recently a caseworker in Vermont (in Vermont they call their system DCF -- Department of Children and Families) was killed as she left a family court hearing. The caseworker, Lara Sobel, was killed by the mother of the children Sobel was trying to protect by removing the kids from the mother's care.
I doubt there was a sketch artist in the courtroom from which Lara Sobel took her last steps.


Rage 258, Solid-State Combo Guitar Amp from Peavey in the TransTube series.
" Nice but no reverb"
" A very nice little amp"
This thing has the transtube technology which sounds really good in the Vypyr series but just sounds terrible in this amp. This amp reminds me of everything I hate about solid state amps. It sounds like a trash can banging around and the distortion it creates from that noise. Oh and I forgot about how noisy this thing is...my gosh does this thing make and incredible amount of noise when in the dirty channel. It is very annoying to have that amount of circular noise in an amp.
This is just terrible! It reminds me of the crappy Boss metal pedals that sound thin and nothing like tube distortion. This amp is better fit for a trash can than actually being played. I am a fan of Peavey amps and so this review isn't some slight against the company...this is just a terrible amp.
I am scratching my head why they have even released this amp. The Vypyr series which is the exact same price sounds enormously better than this amp. It is like two different companies made these amps and not just Peavey.
This amp is a complete and utter waste of money. If you want a usable solid amp in the exact same price range then do the Peavey Vypyr. This amp is just flat out garbage. It can say it any clearer than that. I do not recommend this amp to anyone. I do recommend to Peavey to stop selling this hunk of trash!


Every dad at the playground has thought this at some point. Well, some of this….
We're still wondering what the original idea was here….
Y'ever have one of those dreams where you could fly, son….?
It's always good when you can laugh through the tears. Much later, of course.
I wonder if he gets to walk the base for this or…..?
and suddenly I can FLY!!!
Just Staring at a Funny Bird. Really.
Looks like we have a ringer in the game!
Awww That's So Cu ..OH NO!!


I have it on good authority that Allen Brady, that brainless minion who still follows Andy Esquivel around like a lost puppy hoping for a billion dollar buyout of Xtagged by Google, recently tried to con his way into a $2 Million dollar house.
Reliable sources report that Allen Brady and his wife contacted a real estate agent in norther n Utah and asked for a walk-through of a house listed for $2 Million dollars. The listing agent, being used to scam artists and wackos trying to get a peek inside her multimillion dollar listings by posing as legitimate qualified buyers, became suspicious. She immediately asked Allen's agent to verify that Allen did in fact have the means to purchase the house if she allowed him to walk visit the property. When pressed, Allen Brady reportedly told his agent that he and his wife were about to receive a milti-million dollar settlement in a lawsuit (expected to be completed by the end of this month) and that they would be purchasing the home in cash with those funds. He mentioned my name as being the defendant in the lawsuit.
Funny thing about the Internet today – Allen's broker decided to check out the story. not only did he find out that there is no multi-million dollar lawsuit with me as a defendant or Allen Brady as a plaintiff, but he also found this website which gave explicit details about the scam to which Allen was referring and the fact that it's founder is in jail right now awaiting a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether or not he is sane enough to stand trial for three felony counts of securities fraud.
Needless to say, Allen and his wife were not allowed to tour the house and other brokers were warned to be on the lookout for an over-wright drug addict pretending to be the recipient of a large legal settlement wanting to look at multi-million dollar homes.
I will say this for Allen Brady – he's sure got a pair. It takes serious guts to try to scam your way into somebody else's house by pretending that a guy who's now been thrown under the bus by three of his defense attorneys is somehow going to be acquitted at the last minute and will close a lightening settlement for millions of dollars because his long line of fake products turned out to be real after all. Obviously somebody spent too much time at the recreational pot stores the last time he was in Colorado.
WHOA! Did Andy's most recent attorney dump him too?


The Japanese have a saying: 'we each have three faces: one that we show day to day, one that we show to our close friends/family and one that we never show anybody'- or words to that effect, at least.
You seldom have to look for long until you see seemingly strong willed and happy people, almost slip up and reveal their true face- like they're masking the true nature of their circumstance, like there's a cloud of sadness lingering above them.
Conversely, you could be walking along and notice someone looking deeply upset, their cloud close to producing rain, but just as you think they're going to burst; an almost unnoticeable smile starts to make an appearance on their face and it's like they've seen a beautiful sun rise.
We all carry a little damage in one way or another and it's this very fact that makes us uniquely fascinating.
