Wyoming, summer of 1963. Two young men, Ennis a ranch hand and Jack an aspiring rodeo bull rider, are sent to work together herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain. Both men anticipate the job to be a rather uneventful venture. But soon, it turns into an affair of love, of lust, and complications that will spand through two decades of their lives.

Hi: 18° Lo:7°
By Kevin Unitt Friday 04 January 2013 Updated: 09/01 08:27
A PARALYMPIAN'S push for medals at next year's Winter Games has been boosted by a £10,000 donation.
Alpine racing skier Anna Turney, from Warwick, has to self fund her training and travel across Europe to compete in events in the lead up to the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.
But her efforts have now been boosted by the major sponsorship pledge from Sarah McLean, franchisee of McDonald's restaurant in Walsgrave, Coventry.
While Anna has already won two gold and two silver medals in six races the winter, the cash will help her compete in further events in Switzerland, through which she hopes to meet the selection criteria for entry into the Paralympics GB Team.
Anna said: "I can't thank Sarah enough for her support and generosity - without sponsors like Sarah, I wouldn't be able to continue achieving the success I've worked so hard to get.
"I'm proud to be representing Coventry and Warwickshire and it's such a great feeling to bring success back to the region."
Sarah McLean added: "We are all so proud of Anna's success so far and know how hard she's already training towards the next Paralympic Games in Russia in 2014.
"I feel privileged to be able to help her on her way to achieving more medals in the future."
Inspirational Anna was left paralysed after breaking her back in a snowboarding accident in Japan in 2006 but the ultra competitive Chase Meadow resident battled back to world class level and joining the British Disabled Ski Team.
She has to find about £20,000 a season in order to train, travel and compete and as well as being sponsored by local companies has worked in motivational speaking and for the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2174 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kookai brilliant product Have been using ghds for probably about 10years. This is my third pair and i love them. I love how quick they heat up and how they smooth out my otherwise frizzy hair. Have tried cheaper alternatives but have always come back to GHD's May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by michellemck1988 excellent product Had wanted GHD's for ages as my hairdresser uses them but was always put off by the price and always needed that money for other things as most people. Eventually saved up and wish I'd done it sooner. these straighteners give such a professional finish to my hair. They heat up in seconds and glide through my unruly hair to give me a sleek salon look. I love them May 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nasee unhappy with the ghd! I've had to take my new ghd in twice to have it checked because it didn't work properly May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fani The best possible product I've ever seen and tried!!!!!!!! I've heard about GHD from a friend of mine who has one piece. I've tried hers and I was amazed from the top quality and the brilliant result. After couple of weeks using her GHD, I found that a friend is coming from UK and immediately asked him to buy me one. When he arrived with the precious gift, this was one of my happiest days... It's so stylish, so smooth, so easy to use, with so great performance. The plug with European gadget hidden inside is the most useful and clever thing I've ever seen. I recommend "my precious" to all my friends, I will continue to do so. Congratulation for the great products!!! May 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by oogliemoo A must for straight hair The IV styler heats up amazingly quick and does what it should, however, my mark 3's did seem to work better on my hair, they sometimes leave it quite fly away and a little static. They do leave my hair very soft though with not a kink in sight. I didn't buy the newest brand because of the reviews saying that these were better. Sorry if the average seems harsh, they are brill, but just not as good as my original ones. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caroline23 Fantastic product Easy to use as i'm not very good at styling my hair, and heats up in an instant. Once my hair was straightened, it lasted a couple of days. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlotte89 Great for styling Much better for curling and styling hair. Be lost without my ghds May 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Fishface22 Not as good as my old pair I bought my first pair of GHD's 14 years ago. My pair that I have just purchaged do not seem to be be as good as the first. Not has hot, not as good results! Not sure why? May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Helenm2013 Love these straighteners Love these straighteners. Started straightening my hair 12 months ago with ghd. Quick & easy to use. Best straighteners I have ever used. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hltaylor Great product As always a reliable pair of straightners! That do exactly what they are intended to would always have ghds over any other brand. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Toggie10 Extremely easy to handle. Always been a fan of GHD - sadly my last set died - GHD's are extremely easy to manoeuvre , kind to your hair and in my opinion the best on the market. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by paty282 great as usual the best stylers. My hair is wavy and they are easy to transfer it into a sleek style. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nunu My ghd is great Hello :) Sorry for late reply ! Well , this product is great and effective . I enjoy using my GHD. Infact , I made my friend also buy a GHD . She love it too :) I guess this is the best product for hair . The new GHD model is also very beautiful and attractive . Moreover , the heat protect is also very effective. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by vmayall really happy with my ghds got 2 pairs. I have 2 pairs of ghds 1 the plain pair and the other the purple pair that I have had for 4 years which are still working perfectly. Really happy.. wouldn't use anyone else again. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fitay Didn't think I needed it!! I was finally nagged into straighteners by my hairdresser and friends. Before, if I wanted straight hair I blow dried it (having done so for years quite successfully!). Now I've got my GHDs I spend less time on my hair as they work so well. Took a bit of courage to begin with but I'm more confident now. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by suzieJ Excellent product I have thick naturally curly hair and these straighteners work brilliantly. I purchased them to replace my last pair of GHD's which I had had for about 8 years. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by happy fab yes these are my first purchase and i am very pleased with my new ghd,s so thanks for making me have a good hair day everyday. May 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by mpea not as goovcd Not as good as my old purple ones or my daughters gold May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aim13 High Quality Hair Straighteners These do exactly what you would expect them to - straighten your hair really well. In comparison to previous straigteners I have owned they are fantastic quality and, used correctly, don't seem to damage hair at all (no snags etc.). I have used them to curl my hair also but results have been mixed - I would suggest practising a lot to get this right for your hair type. It is really quick and easy to do though and if you use the right styling products the results are long-lasting. The bag/heat mat combo is one of the best features, especially if you're pushed for space and struggle to find somewhere to set them down while you're styling. Overall a really good purchase and well worth the price. May 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Shellubs This product is so so Does not live up to the hype. Disappointed as i replaced my old stylers for GHD's which aren't as effective. Granted, they straighten my hair, but catches strands here and there, doesnt curl as well as other styling products and isn't as sturdy. You have to grip fairly hard in order to achieve maximum results but this creates a burning smell as it is harsh on the hair. Wouldn't use in my salon. May 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sae81 Not as good as used to be Feel my old GHDs work better than new ones which is disappointing. Still using old ones. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chrissy Best thing to come from the 21st century I wouldn't be without them now! Love em! I've always wanted to have straight hair...well now I have.... May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by marmar3 pleasantly suprised Had heard how good ghd straighteners are but am suprised just how good they are. My hair is v thick and stubborn but they straighten my hair really quickly. Found the case and heat proof mat very useful too and good quality May 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jay22 Not as good as previous GHD's Bought these as a replacement for GHD's I have had for a few years. They are a little lighter than my old set, personally I like a bit of weight. They also don't grip your hair the same as the others and I just don't feel that your hair looks quite as good. I was a little disappointed in them to be honest and went back to my old ones which are still in perfect working order (touch wood#. They will do as a spare, an expensive spare right enough. They are still good quality and would recommend them over other straighteners on the market, just not as good as they were when they first appeared on the market! :# May 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by kell78 good product but dont grip the hair i cant use them as they just glide through the hair so have to do hair a few times with these as they dont seem to grip like my old ones do,iv had my old ones for 7yrs so am still using them as these dont do what the others do,no grip to the hair at all so not happy with these they are just in the box at the moment,might have to resell them. May 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Neri Not as good as I thought Not as good I thought it would be. It takes long to do my hair May 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chrissy78 I love the way it heats up quickly Iam overal happy with the product,I did think I would of got a real straight look and cut my time but I still struggle a little to get that salon look,I use a hair dryer and a serum and then the ghd,I do love it but maybe I should bought the upgraded version of mine.Maybe it would of worked a little better.i would never go back and buy another product ,just maybe upgrade. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by IEES Never thought they would work for myhair.. but they do! Bought this GHD for my daughter as I have very strong and freezy hair and I have tried everything in the past but only seems to get straight when I get it done at the hair dressers. I was soooo impressed a) by how fast theyget hot and b) because my hair actually looks straight and smooth!! so I have changed my style completely after years of wavy hair to straigh -at least for a while. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lisafisa My best friend I think this tool is so much better than all the other flat irons I've ever used from other brands. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by scrappy20 ease of use, nicely packaged. Simple to create style and in no way heavy love ghd stylers, which I have used for years and they never let me down. So easy to use with perfect finishing results to your hair. This styler is all you could wish for & more. Do not be fooled by cheap knock off's as you certainly get what you pay for May 22, 2013

Bridal Style From Around the World
It's a nice day for a white wedding — and a blue one or a red one, too. Different cultures have different customs, many of which extend to bridal style. We've searched the globe to find some of the most beautiful big-day looks, both contemporary and traditional. Read on.

BATF, thanks much. We love updating this story because there are always wedding styles that we haven't seen before. It's fun to see so many happy couples and families, too. Anon 22, I would love to have more African countries represented, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any photographs on Flickr. The photos we use have to be licensed a certain way with Creative Commons, and though I searched for Mali, Ghana, Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire and many other countries outside of Africa (such as Mongolia) there weren't any photos that we could legally use. We'll keep looking every time we update this story, though, and hopefully some photos will be available for us to share.

Hey you guys, some of the pics are from other nights from wedding festivities, not from actual wedding days. Like the Bahrain one looks like it's from the mehndi/henna night the night before the wedding day, (brides are done up on their wedding days, there's no way they wouldnt have makeup on). The night before is typically less made up so that she looks dramatically glamorous on her actual wedding day. Also the Pakistani bride's pic looks like it's from the night after the wedding, the Walima, which is hosted by the grooms family. On most wedding days, brides wear reds, pinks, golds, and sometimes pastels, and the grooms mostly wear traditional clothes too. The walima outfits are comparatively more western/contemporary. Would be good if you could collect more pics, or us readers from around the world could send them in

THE REASON? PHILLIP G. MESKIN'S VETERANS POST NEWSPAPER IS A "FRONT" FOR CHARITY, POLITICAL PARTY, AND OTHER NON-PROFIT "FRAUDULENT SCHEMES" FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL FINANCIAL GAIN RATHER THAN TO ACTUALLY HELP VETERANS. March 16, 2006 FOUNDER OF VETERANS PARTY OF AMERICA, VETERANS POST NEWSPAPER, AND VETERANS PUBLIC AWARENESS FOUNDATION PHILLIP G. MESKIN, FOUND TO BE "SWINDLING VETERANS" AND CONSUMERS… THAT'S RIGHT! PHILLIP G. MESKIN'S VETERANS POST NEWSPAPER IS A "FRONT" FOR CHARITY, POLITICAL PARTY, AND OTHER NON-PROFIT "FRAUDULENT SCHEMES" FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL FINANCIAL GAIN RATHER THAN TO ACTUALLY HELP VETERANS. DEAR VETERANS POST NEWSPAPER ADVERTISER: Phillip G. Meskin's Veterans Post Newspaper is a "FRONT" for Charity, Political Party, and other Non-Profit "FRAUDULENT SCHEMES" for his own personal financial gain rather than to help Veterans. Meskin writes articles in his Veterans Newspaper and otherwise endeavors to make everyone think that Disabled American Veterans (D.A.V.) Department of Florida is bad- mouthing him and took possession of his D.A.V. Chapter 9 in St. Petersburg, Florida because the D.A.V. Chapter Officers refused to send D.A.V. Department of Florida their 10% from fundraising proceeds. The truth of the matter is that in fact, among other things, Meskin and other D.A.V. members were stealing the charitable contributions and putting them in their pockets rather than in the pockets of Disabled and Homeless Veterans it was intended for. Due to fact that you that you are either a current or former Advertiser of the Veterans Newspaper, and thereby, may have unknowingly and unintentionally participated in Meskin's "FRAUDULENT VETERAN FUND RAISING SCHEMES," Your Company is a potential witness in connection with Complaints filed with and ongoing Investigations by Federal and State of Florida Law Enforcement Agencies against: 1. Phillip G. Meskin a/k/a P.G. Meskin d/b/a the Veterans Post Newspaper and the Veterans Party of America; Phillip G. Meskin as former President and Director of the Veterans Post Newspaper, Inc., prior to its Dissolution in 2001, and as Chairman of the Veterans Party of America, and as Operator of the Veterans Public Awareness Foundation, among other things. ALLEGATIONS 2. Federal Income Tax Fraud and Evasion on personal and corporate income derived from the Veterans Post Newspaper which registered as a Non-Profit Florida Corporation only in the year 2001, but was not granted a IRS 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Charity status then or now. 3. Florida Sales Tax Fraud and Evasion by failing to register with the Florida Department of Revenue, and failure to pay Florida Sales Tax on income from Advertising Sales; and, 4. Fraud in forming a Non-Profit Florida Corporation formerly known as the Veterans Post Newspaper, Inc. 5. The Co-Mingling of Funds of The Veterans Party of America with the Veterans Post Newspaper; and, 6. Fraud in forming a Political Party, and the Misappropriation of Political Contributions from the Veterans Party of America by using the Veterans Post Newspaper; and, 7. Fraud in forming a Charity, and the Unlawful Solicitation and Misappropriation of Charitable Contributions by using the Veterans Post Newspaper for Unlawful Solicitation as the Operator of the Veterans Public Awareness Foundation, among other things. For the full story about this matter, please either contact me by E-mail @: email@example.com OR, Go to My Website http://www.VFVS.com/VeteransCorner.html and start by clicking onto article #95. Then go forward from article #95 and look for any updated articles and click onto those. Then click onto article #65 and go forward from there looking for other related articles concerning Phillip Meskin, his Veterans Charity or the Veterans Party of America. Although I will be glad to fax you (but not mail you) a limited number of Official Documents, there are too many other documents and information which would be too time consuming and too expensive for me to copy, mail or fax. Therefore, other than waiting for the News Media to break this story, or the Government investigators contacting you, going to My Website or E-mailing me to send you the vast majority of the documentation and information by E-mail is the only other alternative.

I ordered these stools to go under a wooden console table that is made of refurbished wood (kind of rough looking). They look great and are a wonderful pop of color. It's a very good look together but they would look good in a variety of styled rooms. They are not too bright - not neon yellow, just a pretty matte yellow. They are also very functional - a good height to sit on and easily tucked away when not in use. I love them!
perfect table

I had picked this stool as it has the same color as in the bed set I ordered. Looks great next to a small chair. Just a great finishing touch.
Jim from NY– Verified Buyer
This Steve Matte Strips Stool is exactly what I was expecting. The quality is good and it matched the description on the website.
Heidi from OR– Verified Buyer
I did reiceve this strip stool and it is working out wonderfully. The size and the qaulity are both wonderful and exactly what I was expecting.

Another reason organizations get into UIA is because of the business models typically favored by enterprise software companies, including especially repository vendors. Whether tied to CPUs, servers, virtual machines, document/data or query volume, the vast majority of licensing schemes require you to spend more and more money as you use more and more information.
With the exploding volume of information, is this really a viable situation?
Simply put...no! Tying the cost of information solutions to the amount of data or content they incorporate, or supply, is counter-productive. It forces managers to choose between some hard, quantifiable costs -- the money required for new hardware, for example -- and a more complex benefit such as productivity or better decision making. For some businesses, saving money will be the right choice but for most, the competitive advantages described earlier on are too important to give up on. Companies that leave data and content out of important applications because of cost are simply pushing that cost elsewhere -- probably their increasingly lean workforces. As companies become more and more distributed, this effect will become a negative cycle: bad decisions lead to poor results, which cuts spending for making better decisions.
Slideshow: 7 Open Source Innovations on the Cutting Edge
One solution to this challenge is to look at Free & Open Source Software (FOSS). Many companies have done this...and found an entirely new set of implementation, expertise and complexity issues. For some companies it is a good option that avoids the licensing cost question altogether. For the rest there are leading UIA platforms, the majority of which seem to have moved away from variable pricing models -- perhaps realizing that growth of information, as well as increasing use of virtualization, is just part of the macro-picture everyone must adapt to.
4. Scalability
If variable licensing is a big issue for the future of information access, scalability is a huge one. The Economist among others has shown that in the coming year, enterprises will have to manage an ever-increasing "data deluge." In the same way that paying per CPU or document is untenable, spending even a small amount of effort to make a system scale will be ruinous. This does not bode well for the traditional relational database, now at least 40 years old (according to Wikipedia). RDBs are notoriously difficult to scale up, especially for query volume and latency. Eventually you may reach the limit of what can be supported on your hardware/software combination and have...no further way to progress without rethinking things.

While Ian Fleming himself never liked to be compared to the fictitious secret agent that he wrote to life during his twilight years, Mr. Fleming and James Bond were kindred spirits through and through. Fleming, much like 007, was wealthy, well-educated, and even served as a British intelligence officer during WWII. It was during this stint in the service that Fleming first visited Jamaica, the island destination from which he would pen all fourteen of his James Bond novels. Having fallen in love with the tropical atmosphere, which was unlike anything he had encountered during his English upbringing, Fleming returned to Jamaica at the conclusion of the war and purchased a plot of waterfront property on northern coast of the island. Dubbing it "Goldeneye," a name borrowed from a covert plan he had developed during the war, Fleming constructed a modest house overlooking the Caribbean where he would spend each winter for the following decades.
Goldeneye | The Estate That Bond Built
On the Hunt for Gurkha Shorts.
With its dual strap waistband, barrel cut legs, high inseam, and row upon row of pleats, the Gurkha short is certainly not for the faint of heart, but we're sure the original Gurkha wouldn't have it any other way. This overloaded short can be traced back to the Gurkha, a legendary Nepalese military regiment that consisted of that nation's most fearless soldiers. The Gurkha were so revered for their bravery that even after suffering a loss to the British during the Anglo–Nepalese War in the early eighteen-hundreds, the kingdom enlisted them to fight for the English Empire.
Their legendary prowess at combat was not the only thing the Gurkha brought along with them when they joined forces with their former adversaries, for they also contributed, well their name. Overtime these shorts, which like almost all colonial garb featured a tan color and loose cut that could easily combat the often oppressive heat, were given the Gurkha name as they were so popular within the region.
A Carnegie Manor on Cumberland Island.
It's one of America's greatest rags-to-riches stories: two brothers, born into the utter poverty of lower-class Scotland in the mid-1800's, immigrate to America and amass an inconceivable fortune all on their own. The Carnegie tale is a prime example of American industry at its finest, because in nineteenth century America, you didn't exactly have to do everything by the book as long as you made billions.
That's not to say that Andrew and Thomas Carnegie were purely driven by greed, after-all their name is emblazoned on buildings up and down the Northeast as a testament to their philanthropic spirit. From concert halls, to universities, to museums, the only thing the Carnegie's liked more than making money, was putting their name on buildings, yet one of their most spectacular structures didn't bear their name at all.
Toward the end of his all too short life Thomas, the younger of the two brothers purchased a vacation house on Cumberland Island, just off the coast of Georgia. Thomas was eight years Andrew's junior and had spent his career assisting his brother with the daily operations of the family's various corporations. Andrew was the idea man, while his brother did much of the grunt work, a role which helped make him both incredibly wealthy and incredibly tired. By his late-thirties, Thomas was ready to retire, and so he and his sizable family purchased "Dungeness Mansion" on Cumberland Island, a house with a history that rivaled that of the Carnegie's themselves.
Long Live the Pith Hat
Allow me to preface this piece by saying that no, I do not personally wear pith hats in public (although there was that one time) and no, I am not necessarily advocating for them to become popular (although stranger trends have happened, looking at you men's skirts). But like the boater —which we are still waiting to make its comeback— it could be time for the pith hat to see a world wider than Ralph Lauren window displays and letter carriers.
A pith hat is not your standard headgear. More protective than practical, more of a shield than something stylish, the pith hat was a military helmet, that was adopted in the mid-nineteenth century by Anglophiles on safari, who were just looking for a way to combat the blistering Saharan sun. It was in the late 1800's that the pith hat rose to prominence throughout Europe's tropical colonies. The original version of the hat was constructed from real strands of pith extracted from the region's plants (although later this would be replaced by cork and ultimately plastic), wrapped in white cloth, and often adorned with a military insignia.
Clanking Locomotives on Bowery | The Third Ave. El Train.
Long before the L Train became one of New York City's central arteries shuttling straphangers between Manhattan and the steadily gentrified neighborhoods of Northern Brooklyn, there was the El Train, an elevated rail line perched above Third Avenue. The El (which as you might have guessed was short for Elevated) was founded by the New York Elevated Railway Company in 1875, becoming the city's second such line, alongside the NYERC's Ninth Avenue Line. The service initially ran from the South Ferry to the foot of Harlem, but was expanded after being purchased by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in the early 1900′s.
Remembering Abercrombie & Fitch for What It Was
Despite the shameful mall brand that it has morphed into over the past couple decades, there was a time when Abercrombie & Fitch was great. More than great even, Abercrombie & Fitch was important, a brand that was as integral to our country's culture of clothing as it was to our culture as a whole. This was a company that outfitted presidents and pioneers, authors and actors, explorers and icons. Today, the Abercrombie & Fitch clientele is decidedly less illustrious, and their products are about as American as a three Yuan bill. I oft wonder how many shoppers even realize that Abercrombie & Fitch were real people to begin with? Then again, it would be wrong to fault anyone for overlooking the real Abercrombie & Fitch. After all the philosophy upon which these two gentleman built their brand is wholly absent from the stores that bear their names today.
The Attire of an Architect | Le Corbusier
I can't necessarily tell you what Le Corbusier looked like, but I can damn well tell what he wore. The straight pipe. The oval glasses. The dark bow tie. The double breasted suit. The white pocket square. Like one of the fifty-eight buildings he designed throughout his five-plus decade career as an architect, Le Corbusier's style was a careful construct, stringing together a stringent set of elements in an altogether unique manner. For as much as it has become a tired adage, it was not the pieces that Le Corbusier (born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris) wore, but rather the way in which he wore them.

Diabetic eye disease major concern, doctors say
■ Regular vision checks first line of defense
Diabetes can be a foe that is difficult to see coming, especially when it comes to one's vision.
Diabetic eye disease is a "major problem," said Dr. Wai T. Wong, a retinal specialist at the National Eye Institute, and is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults, affecting about 7 million Americans.
By 2030, that number is expected to rise to 11 million, Wong said.
The longer a person has diabetes, and the more poorly controlled one's blood sugar, the greater the likelihood that person will be affected by diabetic eye disease, Wong said.
Diabetes can create numerous changes that affect different parts of the eye, he said.
"It can affect the blood vessels within the retina, and that causes retinal damage," he said. "It can affect pressure regulation in the eye and cause glaucoma. And it also can cause the clear lens in the eye to become more opaque, resulting in the formation of cataracts."
Depending on the condition, the manifestations of a diabetic eye disease can be acute or insidious.
"It can sneak up on you and you may not know the changes are happening from a vision point of view," Wong said.
The best thing one can do, he said, is try to reduce the likelihood such problems will occur by regularly consulting with a primary care physician to make sure one's blood pressure and blood sugar are controlled.
And if one does get a diabetic eye disease, early detection is a must, he said, for effective treatment.
"We encourage all patients with diabetes to consult their ophthalmologist at least on an annual basis," he said, even if they have no eye complaints.
Major ethnic groups in Texas, including Hispanics, African-Americans and Native Americans, who carry a higher risk of diabetes definitely should seek regular contact with an ophthalmologist to be tested for eye-related issues, he said.
But the problems are something that can, and often do, affect anyone who is diabetic, Wong said.
"It's important for primary care physicians to remind diabetic patients to go for a dilated eye examination with an ophthalmologist at least once a year, more if they have disease that needs treatment," he said.
Typical Manifestations
There are two typical manifestations of diabetic eye disease, said Charlotte Akor, an Abilene ophthalmologist.
"One is abnormal blood vessels that actually can grow in the retina," Akor said.
Known as diabetic retinopathy, the condition is the most common form of diabetic eye disease, according to the National Eye Institute, affecting about 28.5 percent of Americans with diabetes who are 40 or older.
Diabetic retinopathy can creep up quietly because it gradually weakens small blood vessels in and around the retina, a light-sensing layer of tissue located at the back of the eye. Those vessels can break — and when they do, they cause blood to leak into the eye.
In addition to the leakage of blood, the vessels also can spread and grow on the retina's surface, causing scarring.
At its worst, diabetic retinopathy can result in blindness. Typically, the condition has no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage, according to the Eye Institute.
But the disease can be detected early through a comprehensive dilated eye exam, during which an eye professional puts drops in one's eye to dilate, or widen, the pupil, allowing a closer look at the retina.
When an adult is diagnosed with diabetes, "they should be screened immediately," Akor said.
"We can't really date when the diabetes happened," meaning that newly diagnosed people already may be experiencing some diabetic changes, she said.
"By the time the blood vessels either break or affect the seeing part of the eye, the prognosis of the care and the treatment is worse," she said.
Diabetes also can cause a condition called macular edema, Akor said, affecting the part of the eye that is responsible for detailed, central vision.
Small blood vessels can "actually leak and cause fluid leakage in the central part of your eye and affect your vision," she said.
Additionally, just as diabetes can affect the blood vessels of your kidneys, it similarly can affect the blood vessels of your eyes, causing ischemia, Akor said.
Ischemia is a decrease in the blood supply to a bodily organ, tissue or part caused by constriction or obstruction of the blood vessels.
"Once the tissue is dead and you're going down that train ride, it's a lot more difficult to treat," Akor said.
Depending on the severity of one's diabetes-related eye disease, there are several "tried and true" treatments that have been part of the standard of care for "a number of decades," Wong said.
With early detection and timely treatment, for example, the risk of severe vision loss from diabetic retinopathy can be reduced by 95 percent, according to the Eye Institute.
Treatment options include laser surgery and injections of drugs that block a protein that can cause abnormal blood vessels to grow and leak fluid, Wong said.
"Early treatment is actually really effective in preventing vision loss down the road," he said. "But if you wait until you lose vision, that vision may not be restored, even with treatment."

Positive: 11 out of 26
Mixed: 15 out of 26
Negative: 0 out of 26
Plotwise, the film seems actually designed to repel logic, almost a parody of a spy film. But it's played with such verve and dash and confident flair that you'll have a grand time.
A sophisticated, sometimes intentionally silly spy thriller of international intrigue, Fay Grim charts the history of American foreign policy while commenting on current global complications with wink and a nudge.
Strikes me as something of an elaborate mistake, a wasted opportunity and a script Hartley should have discarded. But I liked it anyway.
Sadly, there's a thin line between goofing irreverently on the maddeningly convoluted nature of spy thrillers and actually being a muddled mess, and Fay Grim crosses it constantly during its deadly second hour.
Too light-headed to qualify as satire, too poker-faced to register as comedy, Fay Grim belongs in its own stylistic niche: the Hal Hartley film.
What happens, though, and what lures the film into disaster, is that Hartley lets slip his sense of humor (always his strongest asset) and begins to believe his own plot.

Calif. unemployment rate hits 11.5 percentBy Nannette Miranda
Unemployment in California hits a grim record for the month of May -- rising to 11.5 percent and 69,000 more people join the jobless ranks.
The loss of another 69,000 jobs last month dealt a huge blow to California.
After the state saw the unemployment rates dip in April, it's back on the upward trend, hitting 11.5 percent for May, rising a half-percent from the month before.
A year ago, it was 6.8 percent.
Former coffee sales rep Launa Cornwell has exhausted all of her unemployment benefits and may be two months away from foreclosure.
"If I don't get a job soon, I'm going to lose everything I've worked for since I was in college," said Cornwell.
If there is any glimmer of hope from those dismal numbers, the State Employment Development Department says the job losses seem to have slowed.
"The job losses over the last three months were still significantly lower than we had the previous four months. So that's a good trend," said Loree Levy from the California Employment Development Department.
Over at the Capitol, state workers are protesting Governor Schwarzenegger's proposal to cut their pay another five percent and layoff 5,000.
Ed Hass, who does I.T. projects for Corrections, got one of those pink slips.
"How's that going to solve the economy? We got too many unemployed people, and they want to make more unemployed? I don't get it," said Hass.
The UCLA Anderson Forecast earlier predicted 60,000 government jobs at all levels could be eliminated through the rest of this economic downturn, and that could push the jobless rate over 12 percent before things get better.
"We're going to grow more slowly than the rest of the U.S. in the initial part -- that's 2010. That's principally because of reduction in state and local government," said UCLA Senior Economist Jerry Nickelspurg, Ph.D.
In fact, the largest decline in the number of jobs last month happened in the government sector -- down more than 14,000 positions.
In the Bay Area, Santa Clara County has the highest unemployment rate, at just over 11 percent, as Silicon Valley's tech industry continues to take a beating.
The lowest unemployment is in Marin County where the rate is 7.5 percent.
