Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive retinal disease, usually occurring at age 55 years or older, with multiple environmental and genetic factors. AMD is divided into early and late stages.
Early AMD is often called the "dry" form of the disease, while late or more severe disease progression is often referred to as "wet" AMD.
Dry AMD, the early and more common,and (typically) milder form of AMD, accounts for 85% to 90% of all cases. Early AMD is characterized by good vision and the presence of drusen and/or pigment epithelial changes with variable risk of progression to late disease. One key identifier for AMD is the collection of small, round, white-yellow, fatty deposits called drusen in the central part of the retina, the macula. Drusen accumulate in the Retina Pigment Epithelium (RPE) tissue beneath the macula and the macula thins and dries out.
The amount of vision loss is related to the location and amount of macular thinning caused by the drusen. Sometimes abnormal new blood vessels form (so called choroidal neovascularization - see below). It is therefore important for individuals with dry AMD to have their eyes examined regularly, because the dry form may eventually develop into the wet form.
Late, or wet, AMD is characterized by loss of central vision caused by geographic atrophy, neovascularization or pigment epithelial detachment. Wet AMD can rapidly damage the macula and result in a very quick loss of central vision.Although the wet form of AMD accounts for only 10 - 15% of all AMD, the risk of severe sight loss is much greater. Wet AMD is responsible for 90% of cases of severe vision loss associated with AMD. It is caused by the growth of abnormal blood vessels, or choroidal neovascularization (CNV), under the macula. These abnormal vessels leak fluid and blood into the tissue at the back of the eye, causing a blister to form in the retina. The resulting scar tissue leads first to distortion and eventually to loss of central vision. Wet AMD can rapidly damage the macula and result in a very quick loss of central vision.
Based upon the pattern of the blood vessel leakage, your doctor may classify your wet AMD as "classic" or "occult". In pure classic CNV, the blood vessels that are involved can be seen distinctly. In the pure occult form, it is impossible to locate the leaking vessels. Often patients present a combination of both occult and classic CNV with a portion showing a defined site of leakage and another portion being obscured.
The vision loss symptoms experienced with wet AMD and the availability of treatment options depend on the type of AMD but also on the location of the leakages. For wet AMD we distinguish between three different locations based on the distance between the CNV and the central part of the macula, the fovea. The three locations are: subfoveal, juxtafoveal and extrafoveal. Subfoveal, is CNV that lies directly below the fovea. Juxtafoveal and extrafoveal CNV lie progressively further away from the fovea (but still within the macula).
Another less common age-related macular disease, known as polypoidal choroidal vascularization (PCV), is more prevalent in Asia and Africa. PCV is characterized by variable degrees of severe visual loss due to polypoidal lesions and associated exudative and hemorrhagic complications.

As Julia and I douse our palates in hundreds of 2007s in Bordeaux this week, I leave you with images of my recent trip to Etna in Sicily to keep you amused. I shall be reporting on the exciting wines now being produced on the slopes of Mount Etna on Saturday and will be publishing my tasting notes at the end of this week.
Below you see the reason I was lured to Sicily in the first place, the first ever wine fair celebrating the so-called contrade of Etna. A contrada is an Italian term for an area defined by its displaying one distinguishing characteristic. On Etna, that means its lava flow remains. (There is lava one-upmanship around here. "My lava's blacker than yours", etc.)
It was the brainchild of Andrea Franchetti of Tenuta di Trinoro in Tuscany and was held at his new (actually very old and handsome) Sicilian winery near the village of Passopisciaro. Here we see preparations for this all-Sunday event.

John McQuaid, Contributor
I write about dysfunctional America.
Just a quick note on one part of Mitt Romney's big speech. He didn't simply dismiss global warming, or reject policies intended to address or mitigate against sea level rise, which is closely tied to global warming. Politicians do those things all the time. It's ill-informed and irresponsible. But Romney took this a step further: he used the very idea of controlling sea level rise as a mere rhetorical device, a laugh line to mock Barack Obama's grandiosity. And he milked it for a few long seconds as the crowd at the Republican National Convention laughed.
"President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family."
I don't buy that this is solely about Obama's alleged hubris. It's a twofer: of course the crowd was laughing at the hubris angle; while I don't have a poll to prove it, it's safe to say most RNC attendees are not too keen on the current consensus on climate science either. So: double rimshot. But this remark is, needless to say, unhelpful. Sea level rise is a genuine problem. The oceans are actually rising as the planet warms up, in part because the volume of water is expanding due to the extra heat, and in part due to the ongoing melting of polar ice. Evidence suggests that for most of the past 3,000 years, sea levels were stable, but that they began rising in the 1950s. Since then, they crept up at an annual rate of 1.7 millimeters per year. Lately, though, sea level rise has apparently been accelerating: This 2010 paper published by Science magazine (paywalled), notes that over the past 20 years, global sea level has risen an average of 3.3 millimeters a year.
This is becoming a severe social and political problem because so many people around the world, and millions of them in the United States (including Romney's Boston headquarters) are located along coastlines. Approximately 10% of the world's population lives at elevations of 10 meters or less above sea level, the Science paper notes, and many of these places suffer from subsidence, erosion, and other problems that hasten their exposure and possible demise.
The biggest risk here is from storms, which can suddenly pump up sea levels by many meters, with little warning. People like living near coastlines, and, in the U.S. and other parts of the developed world, coastal development has surged in recent years. But most assumptions for development and flood protection assume a certain stability that no longer exists. Denying this (as some state and local governments are doing) is crazy: sooner or later, the people living in these places, and the businesses they built there, will pay the price.
So Romney's notion that helping families and protecting communities against sea level rise are somehow diametrically opposed is silly. He knows better.
Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. My Forbes blog page is here.
Give me a minute, I have to hold my face due to your stupidity.
Speaking of Religion… It's obvious that you just ascribe to what they tell you, because apparently Thought and Science aren't even a blip on your Radar. (You know, that technology that allows you to see where objects can be.)
Phony – that describes pundits and fakers of the right who deny Climate Change just to cater to their mostly ignorant constituents simply for the sake of being elected. (If not ignorant, then manipulative to back their own narrow self interests, because it has an effect on their business or stock portfolio.)
Saying that global warming is the reason for the melt down of economies is just nonsensical, next thing you'll tell us the sky is falling. (Of course, you will just deny that, because obviously you're just looking for grant money to actually make facts that support your hypothesis. Ooops, sorry didn't mean to incorporate an aspect of science there. )
Speaking of the money grab that you suggest all scientists seem to be involved with, how about any number of issues where large Corporations, supported by various lobbies and politicians, erode the well-being of all Americans? I'm sure no benefits are given for supporting unhealthy food in school lunch programs.
where is your Ph.D. from? Since you call experts in climate change "pseudo scientists" what are you? Obviously completely ignorant of science. Do you also believe raped women can't get pregnant? Now the GOP must be experts in science to you aren't they? Wake up and smell the coffee, it is BIG BUSINESS (oil and coal) who don't want you to believe in science and are trying their hardest (with unlimited $ in contribution to the GOP) to make sure you stay as ignorant as you can. Obviously for some (like you) it has worked.
It's basic physics. CO2 absorbs inferred light. This is indisputable. It's been demonstrated a thousand times over. We use this basic principle in everything from fire-alarms to heat-seeking missiles. This extra energy causes the gas (in this case the atmosphere) to retain more heat energy. This too is indisputable. You can do the experiments at home if you want. If it were not true, we would be living on a giant ice ball. 02 and N2 don't retain heat well. We burn tremendous amounts of carbon-based fuels. The by-product of this is CO2. This gas goes into the atmosphere. As CO2 increases, it is nearly impossible for long term temperatures to stay steady.
A real problem we have is science denial in America. Like Dawn here.
It's absurd to doubt global warming when in fact you can go out and put a stick in the sand and measure the rise in sea level. The recent trend in the Republican party to adopt this attitude is one of the biggest complaints I have about them. Science and technology are the KEY drivers to economic growth.
Now you can argue about causes of global warming, that's where skepticism is more justifiable.
And you can be even more skeptical that we can do anything about it. Developing economies are not about to cut back on their growth while the developed economies aren't.
So we are running a very interesting experiment with this planet. Hopefully our descendants won't curse us for the results.
Well that was lame.
If your purported "global warming religion" is the cause of Spain's terrible economy, how do you explain Germany's big expansion? They're both members of the EU and thus, equally part of the EU's climate targets.
Sham conservative logic on full display!
You're forgetting about water vapor
Andrew – It's a basic scientific fact that global temperatures have risen and fallen, sometimes in extreme swings, innumerable times in the planets history. What caused those shifts in global temperature? Are we currently experiencing one of those shifts right now? If man was not around to emit CO2 what was the catalyst?
These are some of the questions that I think most AGW skeptics would like science to address before we upend our economy and make drastic and possibly unnecessary changes to our way of life. Some of the changes put forward by the IPCC and others could potentially have deadly consequences in some developing nations.
I don't doubt that global temperatures are changing. They have done so constantly since the formation of the planet. Isn't it possible that we just happen to be a species that's around during a normal temperature change that has the intelligence to notice and measure it? Could it be simple arrogance to think that we as a species can have any impact on the colossal forces that affect our planet in this immeasurable universe?
Denial … NO-ONE with a scientific background will deny that climate change exists. The problem is with WHO/WHAT it is ascribed too. The evidence clearly shows it is the caloric output of the SUN, and that man made contributions are not relevant (e.g. water vapour is the main greenhouse gas) The dumb mindless sheep that fall prey to false science believe everything that is spewed at them from leftist nut-case climatologists, who care nothing for the truth, but rather want a panicked mankind to fall into anarchy, and eventually revert to subsistence living (about 200 million people max) and the rest of humanity can just literally drop dead/kill themselves etc.
Such people are clearly dangerous.
It's wonderful that young people these days realize that they no longer need those stuffy institutions that spend millions of grant dollars (from TAXpayers, no less!) on teaching that boring sciency stuff. Why, almost ANYone these days can have an opinion on something that those stupid old people spent 20-30 years studying, with long tongue-twisting names. It's refreshing that you have chosen to be in the vanguard of New Science, my dear. Perhaps you could tell us what we should do about the worldwide deaths of coral reefs. I understand it might have some repercussions on our consumption of fish and seafood. The Sciency types insist this is due to global warming, but I'm sure you have much preferable answers.

CANTON: Walsh Jesuit sophomore Kailey Francetic reached the podium Thursday at C.T. Branin Natatorium as a top-eight finisher in the Division I state 1-meter girls diving meet.
She was eighth out of 24 divers with a score of 429.65 points following 11 dives.
Powell Olentangy Liberty junior Olivia Ball won the state title with 461.75 points. New Albany sophomore Estee Pryor took second with 461.50 points and Mason senior Madeline Sewell was third with 453.20 points.
"This is just awesome," Francetic said. "I came last year and I wanted to get on the podium, but I was just three places off. This year my goal was to get on there. I am really excited that I was able to accomplish my goal.
"My future in the sport looks good. I just want to improve as much as I can. Every day I want to keep getting better and better. I want to make sure that next year I don't mess up any dives."
Francetic, a 16-year-old Hudson resident, said she has been diving for seven years after formerly competing in dance. She also does the pole vault in track and field at Walsh.
"Kailey had a great meet," Walsh diving coach Kristin Dodson said. "I thought she could have done a little bit better, but her last three dives were very solid. We set it up that way so she could go into the last round and do well.
"I think her future is really bright. It was a tough competition with some very good girls, and she stuck with them."
Kailey's older brother, Walsh senior Cole Francetic, was also in attendance Thursday with family members. He was 14th in the Division II state boys diving meet Wednesday.
"It was really awesome seeing my little sister compete," Cole said. "She has always been the kind of my person to look up to in this sport. It is kind of weird being the older brother and looking up at your sister, but this is my fourth year in diving. I started as a freshman. She is the one who showed me the ropes. To watch her go and compete is awesome because she taught me how to dive."
Cole, 17, also runs cross country and competes in the pole vault in track and field at Walsh. He has an athletic background in soccer, baseball and gymnastics.
The only other area divers in the state meet were from Cuyahoga Falls. Black Tigers junior Nicole Rozsa finished 21st and sophomore Erika Shane was 24th.

A planned one-percent surtax by the Town of Clarkstown will collect $1.4 million from Clarkstown School District residents and business owners within the town's borders.
It will bring in several hundred thousand dollars more from Clarkstown property owners within the East Ramapo School District.
On top of those amounts, there will be approximately $355,000 collected from the Nanuet School District, and additional monies from the Nyack District.
But the doesn't quite jibe with the frugal outlook local schools have adopted, school officials told Patch.
"Rockland County school districts were very vigilant in , and this obviously works against the tide," said James Montesano, superintendent of Nyack Schools.
Montesano said he first heard the news Wednesday over the phone, from Clarkstown supervisor Alex Gromack.
"I recognize these are tough times for municipalities and schools; county organizations are going through revenue shortfalls," Montesano added. "[But] it's somewhat unfortunate. I'm sure it sends a mixed message to property owners."
He also noted that last year, Orangetown did something similar, although it was a one-eighth-of-a-percent surcharge.
Clarkstown's new School Superintendent Dr. Thomas Morton said the surtax was mixed in with other information as he was given an hours long tour of Clarkstown about a month ago.
"I've not gotten any notification whatsoever," Morton said.
Nanuet School Superintendent Dr. Mark McNeill said he got a phone call in early August from Town Supervisor Alex Gromack telling him the surcharge was going to be included in upcoming school tax bills.
East Ramapo Superintendent Joel Klein said he found out Thursday when he received an email from McNeill.
"The first I've seen (about it) was a response from another superintendent," said Klein referring to the letter the Nanuet Board of Education sent to Supervisor Gromack and town board officials.
"I just learned about it today," said Clarkstown School Assistant Superintendent for Business, Facilities & Fiscal Management John LaNave Thursday. "Mr. Gromack did confirm to me they were adding the one percent."
The town is allowed by law to add a processing fee for collecting school taxes—however, it was never imposed. Now, residents will be receiving bills for higher amounts than they expected or had budgeted for.
"This will add a full percent increase to it (the school tax bill)," LaNave said.
In addition to the school board's approved homestead increase of 2.1 percent, property owners will have to pay one percent more.
"For the resident it will look like 3.1 percent roughly," LaNave said. "That's disappointing."
The Clarkstown School District's increase will cost the homeowner of an average property $160. The surcharge will cost the average homeowner $80 more.
LaNave said the town's surcharge is not part of the two percent property tax restriction and will not affect school district revenues.
Gromack spoke about the surcharge Friday afternoon.
"Clarkstown was the only town of the five Towns in Rockland County that did not charge a processing fee," he said in an email. "Upon researching the issue, we realized New York State mandates we collect the one-percent fee unless the Town Board takes affirmative action to rescind it."
"With the Town facing over $3 million in costs being shifted from Rockland County Government to the town, the Town Board decided to do what New York State law mandated us to do," he added.
LaNave said although the town has had the authority to add a fee for collecting bills it never acted on it because of a reciprocal arrangement with the Clarkstown School District. The district has not charged the town to use school buildings for summer camp programs.
The town sends out the school tax bills from late August through early September and payment is due by late October. It is not known if an explanation of the one percent surcharge will be included with the tax forms.
Klein found the town's handling of the added surtax disconcerting.
"You would think they would notify people," he said. "Let the people know."

Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday marks the first fee-free day of the year for national parklands and forests in California and nationwide. It's a great chance to explore places that remind us of King's powerful quest for peace and equality.
The deal: No fees means no entrance fees will be charged at 398 parks and 17,000 recreational sites in national forests. In Southern California that means visitors won't need to purchase an Adventure Pass to visit the Angeles, San Bernardino and other nearby national forests.

Farm Call: Your Questions Answered
Q. I have a breeding problem with my Quarter Horse stallion. He is showing little or no signs of libido with my mare. She is giving all indications that the time is right, but he has no interest. He won't even "talk" to her. What can I do or try?

NCEAS Project 3080
Analysis of insect population data with structured population models
- Perry de Valpine
|Further Information
|Postdoctoral Fellow
|1st September 2000—31st August 2001
|Participant List
Agricultural pest control relies on understanding complex communities of herbivores and their natural enemies. Field experiments of agricultural communities have produced voluminous multi-species, spatiotemporal population data. However, conventional data analysis uses model frameworks that lack biological structure and thus are only indirectly related to the hypothesized processes of birth, death, predation and movement. This project will use population models to analyze extensive existing data from three agricultural insect communities and one protist microcosm experiment. The questions for each system are 1) Is there evidence for particular movement behaviors? 2) Is there evidence of particular species interactions? The study systems are 1) pea aphids and natural enemies in Wisconsin alfalfa, 2) cotton aphids, other herbivores, and natural enemies in California of cotton, 3) whiteflies and natural enemies in Arizona cotton, and 4) protist predator and prey in laboratory microcosms. For each system I will develop structured population models, fit the models to data under the null and alternative hypotheses, make statistical hypothesis tests, biologically interpret the conclusions, and test the power and biases of the entire procedure. This project will evaluate important ecological hypotheses that have previously been inpenetrable to statistical analysis and develop and test new analysis tools for future research.

Go ahead given for overnight camping at Alresford Festival
10:31am Tuesday 19th February 2013 in Winchester
CAMPING will go ahead at Alresford Music Festival this summer.
The town council has unanimously agreed to allow people to erect tents on the recently-purchase field next to Arlebury Park at the one-day event in July.
Organisers believe it will help attract more people to the outdoor event, now in its fourth year.
But the town council will not be opening up Alresford Recreation Centre overnight because of security and insurance issues.
The organisers will provide toilets and washing facilities, the council heard.

Tackling the Challenges of Developing Your Top Leaders
14 September, 2012 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
In every company, a handful of high-potential and senior executives will disproportionately impact the performance of the organization. They are the best, the brightest--and can be the most difficult to develop. Due to their histories of success and their visibility within the organization, this group tends to vet any professional development opportunity against hardline criteria of, "Does this have credibility? Is it a good use of my time? and, Will this yield practical business outcomes?"
Join us for a discussion of how American Express faces this challenge head-on, and how an increasing number of companies are innovating to fast-track "experience" as a resource to better develop their senior-most performers.
Audience: Executives responsible for Succession Management in their organizations with the majority coming from Human Resources, Leadership Development, Talent and Global Talent Management, Training and Development, Employee Development, and Diversity.

Wendy Seltzer, Electronic Frontier Foundation, September 26, 2003
The DMCA has been used to invade the privacy of Internet users, harass Internet service providers, and chill online speech. The subpoena and takedown powers of Section 512 are not limited to cases of proven copyright infringement, and are exercised without a judge's review. The following is a small sampling of abuse, overreaching, and mistakes in the use of Section 512(h) subpoenas, Section 512(c)(3)(A) notices, and equivalents. Judicial oversight could curb these abuses without interfering with copyright enforcement.
