Windows 7 64 bit Home
Windows 7 black screen with cursor on boot up
So here's my story. I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-ES5018 laptop running a 64 bit Windows 7. My laptop restarted with the usual Windows updates as it went through the 4 steps and percentages to update and I logged back in. Also as it seems to happen often, the flag at the bottom right of my desktop alerted me that I still had some updates that I needed to install after installing the previous ones. I went through the control panel, System and Security, and started to download the extra updates through Windows Update. The updates installed, the laptop restarted, and my log in screen came up and everything seemed normal. I wanted to take a nap so I put my laptop on hibernate from the log in screen. When I woke up however and pressed the power button to wake it back up, the Toshiba boot up screen showed up but after that there was only a black screen with the blinking cursor in the top left corner which has prevented me from getting to the log in screen and completely boot up my computer.
I have put my hard drive in another Toshiba laptop of my family's and it does the same thing so I know this is an issue with my hard drive. I'm not sure what the updates did, but it seems to have done something to the files that prevent me from booting up. I do not have my Windows CDs that came with the computer since my mother moved and I don't know what she did with my things since I am currently in college. I have tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete but all that does is restart the boot up screen and the black screen of death. I have continually pressed F8 to bring up Safe Mode options, but nothing happens.
Here is some of the data I can get by pressing F2 before the black screen disables me from doing anything further with my computer:
Toshiba Disk Drive ML3263GSX(S2)
CPU Type: Pentium (R) Dual-Core CPU T4400 @2.20GHz
Optical Disk Drive: HL-DT-ST DVDRAMGT20F(S4)
Total Memory: 3072 MB
System BIOS Version: 1.50
Please help! Again, I can't access a single thing when I turn on my laptop except for the BIOS setups and boot screen (F2 and F12) before the black screen with the blinking cursor shows up. I do NOT want to delete anything from my hard drive if I can help it. I for one don't understand why after installing the updates it restarted and took me to the log in screen but after hibernating it decided to not boot up and shows the black screen. Just tell me if you need more information.

When this happens, it could mean that one of your updates was installing and became corrupted, our was incompatible to begin with. When your computer its booting up, you should try to access the boot menu to see if the option to boot from last successful configuration is available. If not, can you enter the system recovery menu (F9), and try to recover the computer by resetting it to an earlier configuration? Do you have the install cd for windows?

I've got the same issue, I've tried everything still nothing. I don't have an install CD - they are rarely provided now. I do have a completely legal copy of Windows 7, it came with my laptop, just no instal CD.
Any ideas on what I can do?

« Should the Purchase and Sale of Organs for Transplant Surgery be Permitted? BECKER | Main | Comment on American Indians and Casinos-BECKER »

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Organ Sales--Posner's Response to Comments:
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Adopting the "opt out" system for organ donation: if a person who would "opt out", then it would be relegated to the end of the lists of transplants, making it (if waiting lists continued to exist) impossible for the opt outs to get transplants (that seems fair!). Everybody else would be an automatic donor, there could also be a special "opt in" feature where if you felt altruistic you could make your donation non discriminatory to opt outs. With the appropriate rules it would work very well with a fantastic amount of donors.
The market solution for vital organs is very week, lots of distortion and waist.
As for live donors of non essential organs, well I think a market could be created... something for society to discuss.
Men are already paid for donating sperm and women for donating eggs (in the US); going to kidneys and livers is just a matter of degree.
"just a matter of degree", dan hasn't an idea what he is talking about, but that's understandable. From Judge Posner's calling torture "being rough" it's a small further step towards opening a market for kids. And so on. Messrs Becker and Posner can join hands with Globke.
Posner suggests that giving organs first to organ donors has a drawback -- people who need transplants will sign up but not be able to donate their organs.
But many people who need an organ have other organs that they can donate. For example, a person who needs a kidney may have a perfectly good heart.
LifeSharers, the network of organ donors who offer their organs first to other registered organ donors, does not screen donors before giving them priority. Anyone can join, and membership is free, at www.lifesharers.org. Fewer than 1% of LifeSharers members need transplants.
Egg donation is a painful process with considerable risk and long recovery period for the donor, so one would think that the 'human egg market' would be very similar to a market for nonessential human organs.
I would also like to point out that donors are paid for blood plasma.
It is worth considering that if transplants were done more, their price would be less. It is true that while you are not compensated when you donate your organ, that is the last time in changes hands for free. Although it has been said that hospitals don't profit from the sale of organs, they can't be disintermediated from from a rich value chain in which the organ itself is certainly a cost of goods. For insurance companies, the rarity and expense of transplants make them among the less easy to underwrite proceedures, distort actuarial tables and drive premiums. Is it possible that some participants benefit when transplants are infrequent and expensive?
Regarding this portion of your post:
"A physician comments that one problem with a market solution is that it will result in some substitution of the organs of living persons for the organs of cadavers, and the operation poses some risk to the (living) donor and also deprives him of an organ that he may need in the future. So this is an argument for opt in."
Your argument had been that the number of organs available would not change in an opt-out system, because as more cadaver organs are made available fewer living donors will be willing to donate. My comment earlier (I am also a physician who follows your blog regularly) was that, despite the numbers available, this would be a positive scenario because it would reduce the morbidity of organ donation if the ratio of cadaver-to-living donors increased (less risk to living donors). Therefore, it seems this would be an argument in favor of an opt-out system. However, I agree that in a market system where organs can be sold it will increase the number of living donor organs - however, they may not sell for as much if more cadaver organs are available.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
So... what are the odds of getting any additions made to the database of liquor & spirits? I already have one review of Teacher's Highland Cream Scotch in a general category, and there are a whole host of other (quite widely available) whiskies that I'd like to review in the future? Is this a possibility?
If we could get categories added, I'd like to see Old Potrero Straight Rye Whiskey.


text: The rare second album by the Jongo Trio – a fantastic bossa group who mixed together vocals and keyboards with stunning magic! The trio's approach is similar to that of the more famous Tamba Trio – in that the three members groove on keyboards, bass, and percussion – while also harmonizing vocals in a soaring, airy style that really adds a lot to the set. This album's got the group using a bit of organ and electric piano in addition to their usual acoustic keys – making for a bossa style that's slightly electrified, with great results on the album's overall sound. The set includes a really great uptempo version of "Aguas De Marco", plus the tracks "Alo Feveiro", "Quem Vem La", "Cavaleiro De Aruanda", "Sandalia De Prata", "Bate Barriga", "Feitinha P'Ro Poeta", and "Duas Contas".

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- The Saratoga Springs police officer charged with misdemeanor assault has resigned.
The Saratoga County District Attorney says Edward Braim was charged following an off duty incident outside of a bar in Saratoga Springs. Police say in November, he pushed a 41-year-old man into a parked car, causing injuries to the man's upper body.
Braim had been suspended without pay since then.
Special Prosecutor Kate Hogan says she received his resignation along with restitution for the victim.

Forster thrilled with England call-up
Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster was "thrilled" with his first England call-up after previously trying to put speculation over his international prospects out of his mind.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has long touted the former Newcastle player for an England chance and the 24-year-old was today named in Roy Hodgson's squad to face San Marino and Poland in upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Forster, who spent two seasons on loan at Celtic Park before completing a permanent transfer this summer, had been focused on improving his game with goalkeeping coach Stevie Woods, and he feels his hard work paid off.
Forster told Celtic's official website: "I´m obviously delighted and happy to get the call-up.
"I´m excited as well and just looking forward to meeting up with everyone really. It´s a great opportunity and a great chance to test myself against some great players.
"I got a call from the gaffer yesterday to let me know he thought it was going to happen and then I found out for definite today so I´m thrilled.
"I spoke to my parents last night to let them know, and they were obviously delighted as well.
"Other people have obviously talked about it but I just got it out my head and have been working hard with Woodsy (goalkeeping coach, Stevie Woods) and trying to improve.
"I think it´s recognition for the work we've put in and our performances, so I was delighted to get it and it is another incentive to keep pushing on and working hard."
Forster, who joins Joe Hart and John Ruddy in the squad, added: "It´s something I've aimed for and worked towards and I´m just delighted to get the call-up. It probably won´t sink in until I have been there and done it though."

What is Colorism?
Origins of Colorism in America
In the United States, discrimination based on skin tone dates back to the chattel system of slavery, where skin color was often used as the basis for the division of labor (Hunter, 2002). Darker-skinned slaves were typically given work in the fields and had more physically demanding jobs, whereas lighter-skinned slaves were given more desirable positions, such as cooks or maids. The lighter-skinned slaves were usually a result of racial mixing, as it was common for slave owners to sexually abuse their slaves. These divisions promoted the notion that darker-skinned Blacks were inferior, evidenced by the fact that lighter Blacks were considered more attractive, intelligent, and trustworthy by their White masters.

I came here to let you guys know, or even maybe you will give me advice, about AMD TressFX in Tomb Raider.
I have HD7870 and play TR on MAX, but in some Close Quick Cutscenes on Lara Head, the fps dramaticly fail about 15-20fps.
I know that this Hair technology is a new thing, and there will be probly new beta or whql driver optimized for this game, but tell me...do you guys have this same issue like me, or my graphic card choking from itself.
Please anwser.
yes it uses gpu to calculate the hair,i play the game with tressfx off and it looks nice,it just needs too much gpu for just her hair,maybe a 7970 it is up for the task or a crossfire config or a dual gpu otherwise it cuts performance down to half.
windows 7 x64/4770K@Stock,Asrock z87 Extreme6/Sapphire hd6970/Corsair 850 tx
It's a huge hit to performance even with two 7970's. Not only does it take up a lot of GPU processing time, it also takes up a good chunk of GPU memory.

America Likes Its Fast Food Salty and Supersized
Fast-food chains are in the news again this week, but instead of new menu launches or bacon sundaes, studies about the foods found at major chains are taking the spotlight. One study finds that the U.S. may have the saltiest fast food in the world, while another explains the psychology of supersizing.
According to the New York Daily News, a study published in the Canadian Health Journal found that fast food from chains such as "McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Domino's Subway and Pizza Hut" contain different levels of sodium in different countries. Which country had the saltiest fast food? Overall, the U.S. and Canada had saltier food than England and France.
More From Delish: Healthy Fast Food Alternatives
The study also found that chicken items were generally the saltiest around the globe and salad items the least salty. One fast food item that is saltiest in the U.S. is chicken nuggets. The U.S. sodium content for McNuggets was 1.6 grams of salt per 100 grams, while McNuggets in the U.K. only had 0.6 grams of salt per 100 grams. Canada was a close second with chicken McNuggets that contained 1.5 grams salt per 100 grams.
According to the Huffington Post, a McDonald's spokesperson stated that sodium levels have been reduced by 10 percent since the 2010 data that was used for the study. However, it is unclear if these changes were implemented on a global scale and if they would change the ranking of countries with the saltiest food.
The Huffington Post reported that another study linked to fast food, which was published in the Journal of Consumer Research, focused on the desire to "supersize" a fast food meal. The study linked supersized foods with a person's sense of importance, stating that people associate larger foods with status. Therefore, asking for the supersize option at a fast-food chain can enhance a person's sense of importance.
More From Delish: 23 Fast-Food Items Sold Abroad
The authors of the study explain that the size of a product can influence behavior. For example, people tend to think that a taller glass contains more liquid than a short one. Participants in the study were either given an article stating that "63 percent of the 1,000 most influential Americans are fit" or "63 percent of the 1,000 most influential Americans are overweight." Then participants were asked to choose a candy from five size options. People who had read the study stating that overweight people were influential were more likely to choose a larger candy.
While the idea that supersized foods make consumers feel more important is frightening in a country where so many supersize options exist, one of the study's findings shows that there is still hope. Participants who had read the article stating that influential people were fit were more likely to choose a smaller portion of candy. Therefore, it is possible that people can be conditioned to eat healthier.
What do you think about these studies on salty and supersized fast foods?

A federal grand jury has handed down several indictments, charging 16 individuals.
Eight were charged in a conspiracy to distribute prescription drugs, heroin and cocaine around the Baltimore area. The rest of the defendants were charged in conspiracies to commit armed home invasions and residential & commercial burglaries.
The indictments were returned on Tuesday and unsealed in court on Thursday upon the arrests of the defendants and execution of various search and seizure warrants at 21 locations in Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County.
"This is another example of the extraordinary work being done by our federal, state, and local partners to reduce crime in Baltimore," said Police Commissioner Anthony Batts. "We are sending a message. If you bring drugs, weapons or violence to Baltimore, every tool available will be used to bring you to justice."
The indictment seeks the forfeiture of at least $2 million, four properties and seven vehicles.
The 16 defendants face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $1 million.

I'm 15 and I'm "home schooled" (my mom never has time to teach us) and I have tried to bring up going to public school many times.
Every time I've brought up going to public school, she tells me I'm stupid, or that the public school system is messed up. I have two younger brothers and two older sisters. My younger brothers are very abusive and are "at that age" would be what my parents would say. But I don't think they're at that age considering they'll hit me all the time for no reason whatsoever.
My older sister has her own apartment with her boyfriend and my other older sister still lives in our house with her boyfriend and kid. Keep in mind we live in a three bedroom, one bath house. I share a room with my two brothers which is never clean unless I clean it. My dad has had so many financial problems we had to live in a car for a while and he is always yelling. My mom barely teaches us anything and spends most of the day on her laptop.
I feel like I'm only home schooled to watch her kids. It really upsets me and I've not cut, but have decided to mostly just try to be away from them as much as possible, even though that means sitting in a corner in my room. I never socialize and when I do, it's just so I meet her friends' kids. I have a few friends I can hang out with maybe once a month, but again, most of the time I sit at home.
I feel neglected. I'm barely noticed and if I try to ignore my mom, she goes berserk and freaks out that she's "not that bad of a mom" but she is. I can't stand it anymore. Please respond to this. Can I get any help with leaving?

I attended a Social Media event this week, sponsored by SMC Seattle – the Seattle branch of Social Media Club, a national organization with the purpose of sharing best practices, establishing ethics and standards, and promoting media literacy around the emerging area of Social Media. These monthly meetings are a great way to network and learn what other people are doing in social media, and, since I've attended for roughly 2 years, they also let me observe some things about social media's evolution in the Seattle business culture. Here are some observations that I think are worth sharing from last week's meeting.
- Age diversity. Meetings are sold out every month, at ever-larger venues. Yet this crowd was not only larger, but noticeably more diverse. Social Media enthusiasts are no longer just 20-somethings, which I assume means employers no longer think you have to be under 30 to 'get' the new media. This gathering featured an 85+ year-old cane-toting man, lots of recent college grads, and an even spread of every age in-between.
- A new demographic. The speaker, Kathy Savitt, CEO of Lockerz, cited numerous statistics and survey results to describe "GenZ" – the generation of people born since 1990, who've never known life without the Web. Statistics on this age group paint a picture of a generation addicted to mobile devices and social media, while marketers are busy figuring out how to sell to the new, always-connected consumer. Some of the speaker's observations:
GenZ is highly friend centric. It's no surprise to learn that peer recommendations and social media sharing are the single biggest source of brand exposure and purchase influence for this age group.
GenZ are "curators," meaning they operate by curating their knowledge and content from multiple sources, not one trusted source. This makes it more difficult for marketers to establish brand loyalty, and requires that B2C companies reach out through as many social channels as possible.
- Lifestyle impacts. With the novelty of social media wearing off, there is more discussion of its impact on day-to-day life. Conversations included fun tidbits like stories of 'when I lost my cell phone' and 'most original tweets I've seen,' while more serious topics included the negative impacts of social media on teen motivation and attention, and the feelings of isolation generated by social media over-use. All are signs of social media being firmly planted in the mainstream, with the next focus on how best to integrate it into our shared culture.
- Part of my regular job. Two years ago, most attendees identified themselves as social media experts, hired by their employer to 'do' social media. Companies didn't know what to make of the new fad back then and needed an expert to help them figure it out. This time, everyone I talked to described social media as just 'part of my job'. Not one business card I collected even mentioned Social Media. It's become ubiquitous enough to be taken for granted.
- Not cool, just practical. While social media experts carried a certain panache and cool factor just a short while ago, discussions at this event carried more of a bottom-line theme. How can I track my ROI? What is a Facebook follower actually worth to my business? How can I integrate social media with the rest of my marketing tactics? How can I best target my audience demographic through social media? To claim coolness today, you need to prove it with quantifiable ROI.
What observations have you made about social media's evolution in your region?

The answer came to me last week, when I was researching my post about Fairmont, and ran across the name of C.S. Putnam.
Clarence Simeon Putnam was a Fargo doctor who gave up his practice in 1903 when his downtown office burned, five days after his insurance had lapsed. It was a fortuitous fire for fans of band music. According to the North Dakota State University's Gold Star Marching Band website, Putnam got a job teaching arithmetic at what was then the North Dakota Agricultural College. A longtime cornet player, he also took over direction of the college's 14-member ROTC cadet band in the spring of 1903.
Putnam was born in Vermont in 1859. His dad had led a Union regimental band during the Civil War and had died during Sherman's March to the Sea (as explained on this NDSU history department page). Putnam had pursued an interest in music for years, in addition to his medical practice, so the career change wasn't quite as extreme as it seems. You can see a photo of Doc Putnam, circa 1915, by clicking this NDSU Archives link.
During the time Putnam began directing the cadet band, G. Oliver was directing bands 70 miles north of Fargo, in the town of Crookston, and he was doing a lot of solo work, on both the cornet and the violin. I don't know how or when he met Putnam, but they clearly had met by the summer of 1908, because that's when G. Oliver played in Putnam's band.
|G. Oliver Riggs played a cornet solo at this 1908 concert.
According to a preview article that ran in the Fargo Morning Call/Fargo Daily Argus, the Putnam Band was to give a free, pre-fair concert on July 19, 1908, at the Grand Theatre in Fargo. The band members would appear in their new uniforms for the first time, and with several new instruments. Numbers on the program included the Zampa Overture by Ferdinand Herold; the sextet from the opera Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti; and a cornet solo by G. Oliver, Facilita by John Hartmann. The other featured soloist was J.W. Jeffers, a euphonium player from St. Paul.
|A concert preview with a photo of G. Oliver Riggs, on left.
"Overtures, marches, and popular airs were played and the crowds gave evidence of their appreciation by spontaneous and generous applause ... (G. Oliver) pleased thousands of visitors at the fair grounds by playing a beautiful cornet solo, the Air "Facilita" by Hartmann during the band concert."
Another article from the Fargo Call described a gathering of the band after the state fair had ended. G. Oliver "took the floor and in a characteristic speech, presented the genial doctor with an order for an elegant gold medal, the design to be selected by the recipient. On account of the lack of time the members of the band were unable to get just what they wanted and an order was placed with a local jeweler."
Reading this left me with two questions: what did the writer mean by a characteristic speech; and, did Putnam ever order his medal?
The final clipping I found had a goofy headline and subhead: Will Help Some; Dr. C.S. Putnam Says G. O. Riggs Ought to be Able to Do Things. The headline contained almost as many words as the entire news item, which appears to have been published in the Grand Forks newspaper after G. Oliver had taken a job directing the band in that city.
"In a letter to Fred Redick of this city, Dr. C.S. Putnam, at the head of Putnam's band of Fargo, says in part: 'Am glad you have G. O. Riggs with you as director. You ought to have a cracker-jack band soon and the more the merrier. He ought to be able to do good work with you and I heartily wish you success.'"
G. Oliver wasn't the only one who could do good work with a cracker-jack band; Putnam could have been talking about himself. Except for a few years' absence from the band, from 1914-17, Putnam directed the NDSU band until he died in 1944. The band website doesn't say what Putnam did during his break, but it does describe him as a dynamic leader. It also mentions that Putnam incorporated "Gold Star" into the band's name in 1923-24, when it received a presidential citation and a Gold Star for earning its third consecutive 100 percent inspection rating as an ROTC unit.
Other interesting things I learned about Putnam are that he arranged the music for the official North Dakota State Song, the North Dakota Hymn, and he wrote the music for the NDAC alma mater, the Yellow and the Green. The university's Carnegie Library was renamed Putnam Hall in 1951.

Why would women who love women watch sex between two men? It's a head-scratcher but the phenomenon is true. Ask any lesbian and she'll tell you, if she doesn't watch gay porn she knows a lesbian who does.
Here's my take on it: Most lesbians have a heightened awareness of how men have oppressed women and straight porn is often Exhibit A in that exploitation. In gay porn, the bottoms (traditionally like women, receivers) are often just as 'powerful' as tops (traditionally, like men, givers). So while it's still male-on-male sex, there's a power dynamic at work that appeals to lesbian political and personal sensibilities. They're not so much looking at the "players" in the play, but the roles they're playing.
Then there's the impatience angle. Lesbian porn takes FOREVER to get to the sex. All that crap about love, intimacy and emotional connections takes up half the DVD. As one lesbian fan of gay porn told me:
"I like gay porn because the actors having sex are unencumbered by a U-Haul. It all boils down to different philosophies. Men: Fuck it or kill it. Lesbians: Take it to the vet or adopt it."
Third, a lot of lesbians are turned on by masculinity, so they get off on hot male bodies. Not because they want to have sex with them but because they internalize and then express the masculinity they see onscreen (Comic Lea Delaria has a hilarious line about that: "It's not that lesbians don't like dick; it's that we don't like them on men!").
And finally, there's my strap-on dildo theory. Lots of lesbians use them. They have to learn how and if straight porn isn't going to show it and lesbian porn is too boring, then what's left to show them how to use a tool they weren't born with?
Sex is so interesting. What makes no sense to you makes perfect sense to somebody else. I'm like most people–when it comes to porn, I only want to see who I want to shtup. Period, end of stroke.

Then, throughout the day, he continued to stagger Instagram videos revealing short clips of the song. The videos show JT and producer Timbaland at work in the studio.
At midnight Eastern time, Justin finally directed fans to his website to hear the seven-minute track in full. Justin will close the iHeartRadio Music Festival Saturday night... here's hoping we get to see him perform the new track for the first time!

Nissan's Smyrna Manufacturing Plant Achieves ISO 50001 And Superior Energy Performance Certification
SMYRNA, Tenn., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In May 2012, Nissan's Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant became the first passenger-vehicle manufacturing facility to attain ISO 50001 and Superior Energy Performance (SEP) certifications.

As part of a pilot program established by the U.S. Dept. of Energy, Nissan partnered with Georgia Tech Research Corp. and seven other companies to establish measurable standards of energy management. Employees at Smyrna's manufacturing plant underwent a three-step process of conceiving an approach to reducing energy, adopting conservation tactics, and sustaining efficient practices in the plant.
"Nissan is proud to have certified our Smyrna plant to the new international standard for energy management and to superior energy performance," said Bill Krueger, Vice Chairman, Nissan Americas. "We are committed to increase energy efficiency as we reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing the highest quality vehicles sold in North America. These efforts align with our global strategies of zero-emission leadership and corporate social responsibility to employees, stakeholders and customers."Within three years of establishing a baseline, the Smyrna manufacturing facility improved energy performance by 7 percent. The plant now serves as a model for the ISO 50001 and SEP standards. In addition to the new ISO 50001 and SEP certifications, the Smyrna manufacturing facility has been an ENERGY STAR® certified efficient plant since 2006. Nissan North America is also a recipient of the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence award. About Nissan North AmericaIn North America, Nissan's operations include automotive styling, engineering, consumer and corporate financing, sales and marketing, distribution and manufacturing.

Reasonable Man Response (A Step Ahead, May)
Hi Ron,
It's a hit. Fabulous article. I am sending the magazine article through the office to ask that all of our front office people read and take a moment to absorb the info. I wonder if it would be appropriate to hand it out during public meetings???? I have seen that older does not always mean wiser when dealing with the public these days!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend and thanks for another thought-provoking article.

I have taken special interest in your articles in Parks & Rec Business magazine.
As a Christian businessman, it is value-added reading since I know your perspective.
In the May issue, the Tolstoy quote is so true in my life.
I had to wash away all of the other empty options, leaving only the real Truth.
Included in my top five quotes is John 6: 68-69, "To whom shall we go?"
Peter already had washed away from it all that is not gold.
Thanks for your contributions.

Promising News for LWCF State Assistance Funding
Washington, D.C. — According to Mark Young, Ohio Parks & Recreation Association (OPRA) Federal Legislative Chair, the beginning of the annual appropriations process began on May 23, 2007, with the Subcommittee on Interior Appropriations markup. For the first time in three years, the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee approved funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LCWF) state assistance program.
And it even gets better! The subcommittee recommended $50 million for 2008, a $20-million increase over the funded level of 2007 and 2006. The House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee approved $268 million in total LWCF funding for 2008, which includes federal land acquisition activities, state assistance, as well as the Forest Legacy grant program.
The next step is full committee markup in the House, then on to the floor of the House, and next to the Senate. This is a major breakthrough for State and local LWCF projects across the nation.

Plan to Eliminate Drowning Unveiled
Fort Lauderdale, Fla.—The International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) and the Transpersonal Swimming Institute (TSI) of Sarasota, Fla., have teamed up to create a learn-to-swim program designed to help swimmers afraid of deep/open water overcome their fears and swim to safety.
According to M. Ellen Dash, Founder and Director of TSI, "Most drowning is caused by panic and a lack of knowledge about how the water works. A person must feel safe in water before learning to swim. A large percentage of adults and children don't feel safe in deep water; therefore, they haven't been able to learn."
ISHOF/TSI is offering training and materials to qualified instructors to expand their learn-to-swim programs to the millions afraid in water. It includes ways to attract fearful students to the program created specifically for them. The training program is designed to get individual instructors up and running on their own. Instructors will pay to become licensees of ISHOF/TSI, which will provide marketing support, continuing education opportunities and the International Swimming Hall of Fame's brand recognition.
To learn more, visit www.conquerfear.com, or call 800-723-7946.

Jupiter Scleral
- When alternative GP designs will not center or cause intolerable bearing forces on the central cornea and soft lenses cannot provide good vision.
- Fitting of irregular corneas with conditions such as keratoconus, trauma, or post-surgical deformities consequent to a graft, RK, PRK, and LASIK.
- In conditions where the cornea and/or sclera are extremely dry and need protection from direct exposure.
The Jupiter Scleral falls into two main design categories—the 15 mm diameter (mini-scleral) series and the 18 mm diameter series. Both series are true scleral lenses which 1) bear on the sclera and 2) vault the cornea. A lens that bears on the cornea in any way is not a scleral lens (although it may be a corneo-scleral or semi-scleral lens).
The Jupiter series is designed to be a semi-sealed lens and does not need to closely contour the cornea. The scleral portion is designed to allow adequate tear exchange but hold a much larger volume of tears. It can address the most irregular and asymmetric corneas as well as provide a large tear volume for severe dry eye cases.
The Jupiter 15 mm and Jupiter 18 mm series lenses usually have 5 curves organized into 3 zones: :
|The Corneal Zone , comprised of the central corneal curve and the ASPHERIC peripheral corneal curve.
|The Limbal Zone , comprised of an ASPHERIC scleral curve.
|The Scleral Zone , comprised of an ASPHERIC scleral curve and the ASPHERIC edge curve.
The Jupiter 15 mm and Jupiter 18 mm series lenses come in 3 configurations to address different corneal geometries by varying the posterior design.
|The Jupiter Standard Design , where the central corneal curve has the same apical radius as the peripheral corneal curve. Most cases of corneal irregularity (keratoconus, post surgical, etc) are fit with the Standard design.
|The Jupiter Advanced Keratoconic Design has the central curve relatively STEEPER than the peripheral corneal curve.
|The Jupiter Reverse Geometry Design has the central curve relatively FLATTER than the peripheral corneal curve.
Toric scleral zones are available to enhance the alignment on eyes with a very irregular sclera. When residual astigmatism indicates that a front toric lens is needed, double slab-off ballasting is used to stabilize lens rotation.
The anterior portion is designed for a constant thickness outside of the optic zone. All Jupiter 15 and 18 mm series lenses use aspheric optics to reduce spherical aberrations for enhanced VA. This aberration reduction technology may be modified by the fitter who has aberration measurements in order to further optimize visual acuity.

Our guarantee: All lenses are manufactured to specification and free from defects.
Diagnostic Lens Fitting Method - Part 1
Fitting Sets
Since instrumentation to measure the sagittal depth of the total cornea and limbus is not available, fitting the Jupiter 15 and Jupiter 18 lens is done by the use of diagnostic lenses. 14 lens pre-designed fitting sets for each of the 3 configurations mentioned above are available in the Jupiter 15 and Jupiter 18 series.
In these sets, the corneal zone of the different lenses varies while the limbal and scleral zones remains are designed for the average eye. When the lens is ordered, the scleral zone may be steepened or flattened to improve scleral alignment.
Although the fitting sets are pre-designed, the Jupiter 15 and 18 mm lenses may be made to any configuration, zone shape, or diameter possible, given the restrictions of materials and manufacturing technology.
Fenestrations can be added to any 15 mm series lens upon request when lens removal may present a problem.
Fitting Theory and Objectives
Most patients can be successfully fit with the Jupiter 18 mm series lens. It can accommodate great amounts of corneal asymmetry and/or irregularity. It is usually the most efficient lens for difficult contact lens fittings. It is an GP lens that is designed to rest upon the sclera and vault the cornea, providing a greater tear pool than the 15 mm Jupiter mini-scleral. The ideal fit is one in which the lens demonstrates:
|40 to 200 microns of clearance over the cornea;
|Increased limbal clearance (as evidenced by a brighter fluorescein layer);
|Scleral alignment with the edge just above the scleral epithelium (as shown by a thin fluorescein meniscus at the edge).
The Jupiter 15 mm mini-scleral series lens is generally used when the full sized sclerals are found to be difficult for the patient to insert. The lens should closely contour, but not rest on, the cornea. The ideal fit is one in which the lens demonstrates:
|50 to 200 microns of clearance (as evidenced by a light fluorescein layer) over the entire cornea;
|Increased limbal clearance (as evidenced by a brighter fluorescein layer in the limbus);
|Scleral alignment with the edge just above the scleral epithelium (as shown by a thin fluorescein meniscus at the edge).
The Jupiter 15 mm mini-scleral is designed to closely contour average diameter corneas. Smaller corneas may require the 14.4 mm diameter Jupiter lens to reduce clearance and prevent bubbles when the HVID is less than 11.4 mm. Larger corneas may require a 15.6 mm diameter Jupiter lens to ensure adequate limbal clearance when the HVID is greater than 12.0 mm.
Diagnostic Lens Fitting Method - Part 2
Fitting Procedure
The vault reduction method (VRM) is the most efficient means to fit the Jupiter 15 and 18 mm lenses. Simply start with a trial lens that is steep enough to rest on the sclera and completely vault the cornea. Then select progressively FLATTER lenses (reduce the vault) until any area in the corneal zone ALMOST touches the cornea. In many cases, this will be the best fit.
1. Select the initial trial lens
Select a BASE CURVE which is equal to the STEEPEST Corneal curve PLUS 1.00 D (Round up—for example, keratometry of 46.00 x 48.75 would yield a 50.00 D BC).
Note: When the central corneal shape is significantly different from the peripheral cornea, central keratometry readings alone are not usually a good source of data to design the fit of this lens. If reliable keratometry or corneal topography data is not available, select the 48.00 D (7.03 mm) lens from the diagnostic lens set as this will vault most central corneal areas. It is necessary that the base curve of the lens does not rest on the central cornea when determining the fit.
2. Instill saline and fluorescein and apply the lens. (see Insertion and Removal Tips)
With the lens concave side up, instill saline solution into the lens and add a small amount of fluorescein. Have the subject tilt their head down, looking at a tabletop. Place the lens directly on the cornea so that the solution stays in the lens.
3. Evaluate the three zones of the lens
Corneal zone: base curve and first peripheral curve. Observe the fluorescein under the central curve. A lens that is too flat will rest upon the cornea and show little or no fluorescein in this area. To correct this, choose a steeper base curve. A lens that is too steep will vault the cornea excessively; you will see deep pooling of fluorescein under the central area. A 15 mm Jupiter lens will form large bubbles when the clearance is excessive, as the capillary forces cannot hold the tear layer intact. Bubbles under the 18 mm lens may be eliminated by re-filling and re-inserting the lens.
Select progressively FLATTER lenses (VRM – vault reduction method) until any area in the corneal zone ALMOST touches the cornea. Although mild corneal touch will usually cause no problems, corneal bearing is not acceptable. If the diagnostic lenses demonstrate a situation where one base curve appears too flat and the next steeper base curve appears too steep, order a base curve that falls somewhere between the two diagnostic lenses. The final fit should be slightly steeper than ideal because scleral lenses settle into the eye and lose vault during the first few hours of wear.
Note: Many distorted or irregular corneas will not show optimum corneal clearance with lenses in the diagnostic set. We can adjust any specification of the lens to accommodate most conditions. Please contact our consultants for design assistance. For more complex corneal geometries, a Jupiter Advanced Keratoconic or Jupiter Reverse Geometry or a completely custom design may be needed to provide the best fit. Please contact our fitting consultation service by phone, fax, or email.
Limbal zone: Complete, generous limbal clearance insures good tear circulation. If there is very little fluorescein in the limbal area of the lens, the lens is too small and you should select a larger diameter. If there is too much clearance, large bubbles will form in the 15 mm Jupiter lens, and a smaller diameter should be selected.
Scleral zone and edge: The lens should rest evenly on the bulbarconjunctiva with the edge appearing just above the conjunctival epithelium (as shown by a thin fluorescein meniscus at the edge). No fluorescein will be seen under a well-fit scleral zone except at the edge. If vascular compression is seen near the EDGE, order a flatter scleral zone. Conversely, if vascular compression is seen near the limbus, order a steeper scleral zone. Logical increments for flattening and steepening the scleral zones in the Jupiter lens have been determined and ordering in these steps usually results in the correct modifications to the fit. If the edge is burrowed into the conjunctiva, the lens should be ordered with a flatter edge lift to allow for adequate tear exchange. If the edge rises significantly above the conjunctiva, the lens should be ordered with a steeper edge lift to prevent excessive edge awareness.
4. Determine lens power
Once the radius of the base curve is determined, the power of the lens is determined by a spherocylinder over-refraction. A cylinder component in the over-refraction usually indicates lens flexure and can be corrected with the final lens design. Over-keratometry is the best way to confirm lens flexure. When modifying the base curve radius, the lens power must be changed accordingly.
Insertion and Removal Tips
When handling the Jupiter Mini-Scleral lens, always wash your hands and follow the lens care instructions provided by your eye care practitioner. There are two methods of insertion and removal. The first described here uses a contact lens insertion and removal tool. The DMV Classic (DMV, Zanesville, Ohio, 800-522-9465) is recommended. It has a medium sized hole that allows you to control the suction pressure of this device.
Before INSERTION, it is best to rinse the lens and use a non-preserved or sensitive-eye saline rinsing solution to apply the lens. Tear circulation is less with a scleral lens than with a smaller corneal lens. Therefore, preservatives in the soaking solution remain in contact with the cornea longer and this increases the chance of a reaction to these solutions.
|Center the lens on the DMV tool.
|Squeeze out only a little of the air in the DMV. Do not use the full suction because this will make it difficult to remove the DMV tool.
|Look down into a mirror and open eyelids as wide as is needed.
|Apply the lens.
|Squeeze the DMV tool to release.
Since the Jupiter lens is large, the capillary forces which hold the lens on the eye are powerful. Removal is always best done by first lifting the edge to release this force. Attempting to pull the lens from the center will add a negative pressure force and will rarely be successful.
|Squeeze and hold the DMV tool to allow for maximum suction.
|Place the DMV tool on the lens at the outer edge so that the DMV tool is just inside the lens.
|Release pressure on the DMV tool so that it suctions onto the lens.
|Lift the EDGE of the lens and remove the lens from the eye.
Before INSERTION, it is best to rinse the lens and use a non-preserved or sensitive-eye saline rinsing solution to apply the lens. Tear circulation is less with a scleral lens than with smaller corneal lens. Therefore, preservatives in the soaking solution remain in contact with the cornea longer and this increases the chance of a reaction to these solutions.
|Since it is difficult to balance a large lens on a single finger, it is best to form a "tripod" with the thumb, index, and middle finger and place the lens on these fingers.
|Look down into a mirror and open eyelids as wide as is needed.
|Apply the lens.
Since the Jupiter lens is large, the capillary forces which hold the lens on the eye are powerful. Removal is always best done by first lifting the edge to release this force. This method uses the eyelid to lift the lens edge.
|With the head held in the straight ahead position, look up slightly, about 20 degrees.
|With the index finger, pull the lower eyelid temporally and then up to get the eyelid under the lower edge.
|Lift the EDGE of the lens.
|With the other hand, grab the lens and remove it from the eye.
Following removal of the Jupiter Mini-Scleral lens, follow the lens care instructions provided by your eye care practitioner.

Photo #: S-584-052
Preliminary Design No.114 for a Scout Cruiser ... April 1915
Preliminary design plan for a large scout cruiser, prepared to support General Board discussions concerning the characteristics sought in future cruisers.
This plan provides ten 6-inch guns and a speed of 35 knots in a ship 700 feet long on the load water line, 60 feet in beam, with a normal displacement of 12,600 tons. This design was adapted during early April 1915 from Preliminary Design No.112 (see Photo # S- 584-050) by adding 844 tons of armor (including 4 inch side armor over 270 feet x 17 feet 6 inches amidships and 1.5 inch deck protection) at the expense of 2,100 tons additional displacement. Preliminary Designs Nos. 113 to 115 were commissioned at the same time as an initial exploration of armament, speed, and protection options from the P.D. 112 baseline. Ultimately, however, no ships of this large type were built.
Note: The original document was ink on linen (black on white).
The original plan is in the 1911-1925 "Spring Styles Book".
