Bloomberg says that Fannie Mae will loosen standards for refinancing in the hopes that more homeowners will be able to take advantage of historically low interest rates.
Fannie will lower its credit score requirements, reduce the amount of income verification needed, and waive the need for appraisals. These changes apply to loans which the company owns or guarantees.
"To allow more borrowers to take advantage of today's historically low interest rates and help the lending community break the logjam in mortgage refinancing, the company is extending its refinance offerings," a Fannie Mae spokesperson said in an e-mailed statement. The program "will streamline" refinancing "for potentially millions of current mortgage holders," he said.

Vantage Point Properties to build SunStone Apartment Homes at Andover MarketPlace
WICHITA — Developer Paul Jackson is preparing to build the next phase of Andover MarketPlace, and it's a sizable one.
It's the SunStone Apartment Homes at 711 E. Cloud, which is south of Kellogg a half mile east of Andover Road.
"We're building a 208-unit complex that's market rate," says Jackson, who is president of Vantage Point Properties.
That means there won't be an affordable-housing component to the apartments.
Jackson initially purchased 80 acres east of Kellogg and Andover Road and then bought another 70.
"We've owned that land since around 2007 and have slowly developed it ... in the most quality fashion that fits the community," he says. "You know, that's a big project for Andover."
The MarketPlace is where there's a Dillons Marketplace, the Andover YMCA and an elementary school, all of which have since purchased their land from him.
There's also a strip center with several retail businesses in it along with an Arby's restaurant.
Jackson says the highway exposure and convenience will be great for the apartments.
"Most importantly, we think it's a very good use for the site that supports the other things around it."

Finally, A TV Show I Enjoy Wins All The Awards, Thanks Breaking Bad
I watched the Emmy Awards for a bit last night. I tend to wait until the last hour to turn it on, because that's when the big awards are. I was happy to see that Breaking Bad, my favorite TV show of all time, ran away with the Emmy;s last night.

Clearwater, Florida - At Countryside High School on Thursday there were plenty of photographs snapped of graduates, even though it wasn't a picture perfect day.
Bright House Field was supposed to be the site of the morning graduation ceremony, but with Tropical Storm Andrea moving through, Soggy House Field was perhaps a more fitting name. So grads and their families shifted gears and filled the high school auditorium.
See also: Latest updates on Tropical Storm Andrea
"The gym was completely packed with people and they were all cheering and air horns and people yelling, so it was still very good," said graduate Luke Dalton.
Viewer photos: Tropical Storm Andrea
However, with more than 400 seniors walking, the school had to hold two separate ceremonies. The class was divided alphabetically and that disappointed Ashley Jones.
"So we didn't get to see all our friends graduate," she said standing outside holding several inflatable water tubes.
With all the rain, it may have looked like Jones needed a float, but encircling a graduate with tubes is actually a Hawaiian custom. Jones spent part of her high school years there and her family kept the tradition.
And despite the rain that came through in band after band, most graduates were just happy to leave with diplomas in hand.
"I'm excited; moving on to the next chapter of my life," said Ian Jones. "Glad to be done with high school."

Sam Riley Control
You can easily spot the uneducated fools in the theater when watching Control; they're the ones smirking when Sam Riley (playing Joy Division's doomed singer Ian Curtis with incomparable tenderness and eerie preciseness), is in the throes of musical possession on stage, marching spasmodically in place to the band's hypnotic beat. There are times when Anton Corbijn's sumptuously gloomy, black-and-white portrait of the short life of punk's epileptic poet laureate threatens to veer into musical bio-pic cliché; but each and every time, the unadorned soulfulness in Riley's haunted eyes brings it back to heartrending truth. Chris Barsanti
Ben Foster 3:10 to Yuma
In the original 3:10 to Yuma (1957), Charlie Prince, Ben Wade's lieutenant, is a minor presence. In James Mangold's remake, the part is expanded into a menacing counterpart to Wade's (Russell Crowe) more charming and intellectualized villainy. Ben Foster plays Prince with complete commitment, not only providing menace, but also evincing a fanatical devotion to Wade. Foster's intense portrayal of devotion makes Mangold's decision to expand Charlie's role pay off every time the character appears on screen. On the other hand, the actor's effectiveness makes the film's already problematic ending feel like a sucker punch. Given a less committed performance, maybe it becomes easier to rationalize or whisk away Mangold's finish. Foster makes this impossible. While hardly holding back on Charlie Prince's psychopathic tendencies, he underscores the character's loyalty, making it easy to think that Wade should have done better by him. Shaun Huston
Max Von Sydow The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
In my life, I have cried at a small, select handful of films. Coincidentally, they always seem to star Max Von Sydow (Shame, Hour of the Wolf, The Emigrants, etc.). In Julian Schnabel's brilliant film, opposite the masterful Mathieu Amalric as Jean-Dominique Bauby, for only two brief scenes (as his elderly father "Papinou"), Von Sydow again broke my heart and reduced me to a weeping puddle on the floor. The great Swedish actor conveys a lifetime in five minutes or less. Viewing this film in Toronto, with a room full of cynical industry types, I was taken aback at how the entire theater seemed to be literally bawling in sync at Von Sydow's tenderness. As an octogenarian "locked in" his apartment, reliant on others for assistance, Schnabel equates Papinou's sad life to the plight of Amalric's character, who is "locked in" his own body. And his French is flawless too! If any older, revered actor ever deserved to win a make-up Academy Award for, essentially, a cameo, it is Von Sydow—besides, no Swedish men have ever won an acting Oscar! Matt Mazur
Phillip Seymour Hoffman Charlie Wilson's War
For readers of George Crile's obscenely readable (for nonfiction) book on the little-known Texan congressman who almost single-handedly got the U.S. to help the mujahedin to defeat the Soviets, it came as a shivering delight when Phillip Seymour Hoffman was tapped to play Gust Avrakotos, Wilson's man in the CIA. Hoffman plays Gust perfectly as the full-bore, foul-mouthed, mustachioed, Commie-hating, large-gutted son of Greek immigrants he was in the book. Not surprisingly, it's an audience-pleasing hoot, particularly in the too-few scenes that pair him with Tom Hanks' sly politician, whom Gust is more than happy to do the dirty work for. Chris Barsanti
Simon Pegg Hot Fuzz
Simon Pegg might be the greatest triple threat in the movies right now: he's a convincing action hero, a comedian with wicked sharp timing, and a dramatic actor with the range to play a commitment-phobic slacker in Shaun of the Dead and an officious police officer in Hot Fuzz. No matter how bizarre the situation, no matter how perverse the joke, Pegg is up to the challenge. After all, how many other actors could keep a straight face while a massive shoot-out is laying waste to a cozy English village, or make kicking an elderly woman in the face seem justified, or sell us on a quasi-love story with the schlubby Nick Frost? Now that's real talent. Jack Rodgers
Casey Affleck Gone Baby Gone
Much has been made of Ben's brother's turn as the Old West fame whore Robert Ford in the Brad Pitt revisionist Western The Assassination of Jesse James…, but this is the rising star's real acting showcase. As a neighborhood P.I. pursuing the truth about a missing little girl, Affleck's thick accented bravado hides a young man vulnerable to the contrivances and conspiracies around him. While he may talk tough, everything else about his slight framed façade suggests being way out of his league. Minus the quirk and period piece setting, Affleck is free to explore, artistically—and what he finds is devastating. Bill Gibron
George Clooney Michael Clayton
The name of the film Michael Clayton doesn't tell you anything about its plot or genre, but there's a good reason for titling it after the character played by George Clooney. He appears in almost every frame of the film. The "fixer" at a big New York law firm, Clooney is convincing and engrossing as a man who's trying to keep a colleague sane, pay off debt collectors, help raise his son, and watch his own back. Clooney expands on his star-making role as E.R.'s Doug Ross. Though similarly harried and something of a maverick, Michael Clayton is less self-righteous and his vulnerabilities are deeper and more richly portrayed. Nominated for a Golden Globe, a Best Actor Oscar should be next for George Clooney. Michael Keefe
Viggo Mortensen Eastern Promises
With Naomi Watts riding a motorcycle in form-fitting jeans, my eyes shouldn't have spent so much time glued to the male lead in Eastern Promises. But Viggo Mortensen is riveting as Nikolai, the taciturn driver for a Russian mob family. He's either a psychopath or a humanist, the heir apparent or a potential traitor. Throughout the film, he's pulled by warring loyalties. Rather than amplifying these conflicts into melodrama, Mortensen reels us in by playing his sympathies close to his tattooed and chiseled chest. Whether fighting for his life or against his feelings for Anna (Watts), Nikolai appears resigned. With each shrug, Mortensen hints at a turbulent world burbling inside Nikolai. To glimpse this world, catch the brutal but gripping Eastern Promises. Michael Keefe
Javier Bardem No Country for Old Men
If Satan had a badly coiffed assassin/servant here on Earth, he/it would definitely resemble hitman Anton Chigurh. Carrying an air powered bolt gun and a cartoonish '70s bowl cut, he's the most unassuming personification of immorality ever to do the red guy's dastardly dirty work. And once the die has been cast—or in his case, the coin has been flipped - he is capable of the most horrendous and vile acts imaginable. Without the histrionics (but with all the horror) associated with such a character, the Spanish born actor flawlessly captures the manner of pure, unearthly evil. It's unsettling to behold. Bill Gibron
Daniel Day-Lewis There Will Be Blood
In There Will Be Blood, the character of Daniel Plainview is undeniably nasty. He has taken his wildcatting ways into the American West, and through manipulation and mean-spiritedness, he's become rich… and irredeemable. Yet there is much more to Day-Lewis's turn as the larger than life tycoon than channeling John Huston or updating his Bill the Butcher persona from Gangs of New York. In fact, the human nuances presented by the actor are so complex and layered that it takes nearly three hours for filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson to get through them all—and we are more than happy to sit back and watch them unfold… coldly… calculatedly… corruptly. Bill Gibron

Teachers in the Appleton area are plugging into Facebook and Twitter to connect with students, but being "friends" with a student on social media sites is still a gray area for many educators.
Social media blunders have ended teaching careers across the country. For example, a football coach in Maine resigned after inadvertently posting a nude photo on his public Facebook page instead of sending a private message to a friend. A parent in the school district notified school officials after seeing the photo.
"This is very new territory for teachers," said Brian Bartel, a science teacher at ...

The Passions of Bertrand Russell
The Life of Bertrand Russell
The Tamarisk Tree: My Quest for Liberty and Love
My Father Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell's Autobiography (which was published in three volumes in the 1960s) is a work that leaves one in more than one way winded. It is not altogether a book, bringing together a rather random collection of letters with a sketchy account of the author's life which, though sometimes alarmingly frank, omits much and hurries the reader on from one cursorily described event to another. It is not just the speed of travel that leaves one gasping, but the glancing view of some episodes that Russell puts in. One is several times confronted with a summary or dismissive account of central, professedly transforming, occurrences in his life, which cannot, surely, represent things as they were then lived, yet at the same time is not just the misleading product of a distant or oblique style of recollection.
There is no recognizable economy of narration which explains the effect produced by the Autobiography. The spiritual transitions which flash by, which are enacted between the striking of a match and the puffing of that ubiquitous pipe, do not seem as blank and unreal as they do because the structural outlines are left on the horizon, the emotional materials having burned or wasted away. On the contrary, it is the language of intense and overwhelming feeling, for a person or for the sufferings of mankind, that itself lights up these Polaroid snaps of Russell's past and leaves the reader with a problem about how Russell could possibly have understood himself, either when he wrote these pages or when what he wrote about occurred. The most famous, now notorious, case is his account of his deciding on a bicycle ride that he no longer loved his first wife, Alys, and pedaling back to live for years in accordance with that discovery. But there are many other passages in which references to extreme or drastic resolution leave the reader bewilderingly distant from any conception of Russell's self-understanding.
Mr. Clark's long biography does much to help us on questions of fact, to fill in holes in the story, and to correct some impressions left by Russell's account. For one thing, his affair with Connie Malleson ("Colette") went on longer, and had more echoes in Russell's later life, than you would judge from the Autobiography. Clark has taken great pains with an enormous amount of material, Russell's widow having given him full access to documents. He makes a number of new discoveries and suggestions, very plausibly proposing in particular that the object of a passion in Russell's earlier life, whose identity he concealed, was in fact Mrs. Alfred North Whitehead. He is good, also, at sorting out more recent events, and gives a very reasonable account of Russell's involvement in the Committee of 100 against nuclear weapons, and his eventual quarrel with Ralph Schoenman.
The amount of work that has gone into producing this well-documented and clearly signposted account of Russell's life is not to be underestimated …

- Abstract:
- This paper studies optimal nonlinear pricing for a monopolist when consumers' preferences exhibit temptation and self-control as in Gul and Pesendorfer (2001a). Consumers are subject to temptation inside the store but exercise self-control, and those foreseeing large self-control costs do not enter the store. Consumers differ in their preferences under temptation. When all consumers are tempted by more expensive, higher quality choices, the optimal menu is a singleton, which saves consumers from self-control and extracts consumers' commitment surplus. When some consumers are tempted by cheaper, lower quality choices, the optimal menu may contain a continuum of choices.

Peace Corps Volunteer Jill in Armenia: my family thinks I am a drunk
This is not helped by the fact that alcohol is viewed differently in this country: vodka is normal, a family can go through an entire bottle in one meal. But beer is serious stuff, if you drink beer you are a lush.
Peace Corps Volunteer Jill in Armenia: my family thinks I am a drunk
Sunday, July 17, 2005
PST 7 parties and more parties
The experiences just pile right up, one on top of each other. This entry will be in reverse chronological order, by the way. I am too jazzed up to do it any other way.
So now I am faced with a new issue�.my family thinks I am a drunk. Great. This is not helped by the fact that alcohol is viewed differently in this country: vodka is normal, a family can go through an entire bottle in one meal. But beer is serious stuff, if you drink beer you are a lush. So, us Americans, who happen to prefer beer to vodka, and are also used to drinking a whole beer, out of the bottle (gasp), are alcoholics. Tonight at the party I got to face the aftermath of all of this. Here I am, toasting happily with all these Armenians who think I am just great, and my host mother decides to pull me aside to tell me that Armenian women don�t drink very much wine (this by the way, is not true). This was after she took away the vodka that was sitting in front of me (it wasn�t mine�it was moved to my seat while I was dancing) and told me that women don�t drink vodka, they drink wine (also, not true). I distinctly remember the fourth of July picnic, where she was filling my cup with vodka repeatedly. Also keep in mind that I am drinking wine out of small shot glass and in the course of the evening�three hours or so�had less than the equivalent of one glass between eating and dancing. I was not drunk, I wasn�t even feeling the effects. I can�t win.
I am really starting to feel comfortable in Armenian and I am enjoying spending time with the people. I am learning a lot and having fun, but I am ready to get out of the host family situation and on my own. My host mother is that person who is loud and pushy and well-meaning but way too in-your-face, even for Armenian standards. It is not only me that gets treated like this, it is everyone. I still have hope for next family, I will update you after next week!

American Taboo: A Peace Corps Tragedy
Returned Volunteers met with author Philip Weiss in Baltimore on June 18 to discuss the murder of Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner. Weiss was a member of a panel that included three psychiatrists and a criminal attorney. Meanwhile, the Seattle U.S. Attorney's office announced that Dennis Priven cannot be retried for the murder. "We do not believe this case can be prosecuted by anyone, not only us, but in any other jurisdiction in the United States." Read background on the case here.
June 14: Peace Corps suspends Haiti program
After Uzbekistan, the Peace Corps has announced the suspension of a second program this month - this time in Haiti. Background: The suspension comes after a US Embassy warning, a request from Tom Lantos' office, and the program suspension last year. For the record: PCOL supports Peace Corps' decision to suspend the two programs and commends the agency for the efficient way PCVs were evacuated safely. Our only concern now is with the placement of evacuated PCVs and the support they receive after interrupted service.
Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.

Turn Ons
MEN, ALL KINDS SHAPES AND SIZES ï especially if with hunky hairy legs and chests, cocks of all sizes and hot masculine feet. Bald guys really turn me on and dudes with real short hair are my favorites. Definitely the smell and taste of cum, the most complete of all aphrodisiacs. Mutual jerk-off sessions are great turn ons and I love nothing more than breaking in straight studs.
Amo gli uomini, tutti i tipi ma specialmente pelosi, cazzi di tutte le misure e il piede maschile. Amo particolarmente il profumo e gusto del seme maschile, il pià completo di tutti gl afrodisiaci. Amo masturbarmi con altri, anche uomini "straight" e sono particolarmente interessato ad introdurre i curiosi, timidi ed interessati al sesso fra uomini. cerco anche qualcuno che potrebbe farmi delle foto o video "spinte", magari potrei anche ricambiare...
Turn Offs

XTUBE PET-PEEVE: I love to comment on profiles and spend time thinking of the most appropriate words to use.

Labor Day Mystery Shawlette KAL 2012
We now have the pattern translated into Italian. Thank you so much Lana-Luna (Aurelia)
link text
This was a KAL in Sept and ended on Labor Day 2012.
It is made with 2 hanks of Shepherds Crazy Yarn formerly called Mill Ends from Stonehedge Fiber Mill in East Jordon MI. It is considered a dk weight yarn.
If you choose to use a different yarn, you will need at least 500yds of dk weight yarn. (you may use any weight yarn but your yardage will need to be adjusted).
You will also need a size 8 circular needle about 32" in length. You will need a loose cast on so I recommend using a size 9 to cast on with then start the pattern with size 8.
This is a crescent shape shawl started from the bottom and worked up.

Released: Nov 01st, 1991
Running Time: 85
Director: Stuart Canterbury
Company: A.F.V. Releasing
Jerry Butler, Holly Ryder, Biff Malibu, Stacy Nichols, Heather Hart, Kimberly Dawn, Cameo (I), James Crockett
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Not too many years ago, some national magazine – it might have been us – suggested that if there was one mainstream actress who could probably make the crossover and do a XXX movie, it was Meryl Streep. Well, here you can look for sultry Cameo as "Meryl Strip" (and does she ever! See her steamy first scene) in this parody of Michael J. Fox's The Hard Way.
Cameo is top mainstream talent who wants to land the lead role in "The Bambi Lipstick Story", a bio film about the world's best sex actress (Heather Hart). Needless to say, Meryl needs at little brushing up on her orgasms, so she decides to spend time with the real Bambi on the set … where we lucky viewers get to watch Heathers as the center of attraction between Holly Ryder and Ron Jeremy. Cameo's got troubles she doesn't know about yet: Her agent (Jerry Butler) wants to give the job to another actress (Stacy Nichols). And Heather's life is no bowl of zucchini either; her hubby (Biff Malibu) is screwing her gal-pal (Kimberly Dawn). So … will Cameo make the grad? Did you doubt it for a minute? Too bad that final coupling (with James Crockett) is her only one on this tape, but with the wealth of other talent present, you won't be disappointed.

Bueno Frozen Green Chili?
- 5 Comments
- Follow
Does anybody know if there's a store in the Bay Area that has Bueno Frozen Green Chili? I see from other posts that it is available in the LA and Ft Worth areas. I tried calling my local Albertsons and Whole Foods without success. One can order direct from Bueno but the shipping is pretty expensive. Thanks!
Last summer we ordered in about 90 lbs of fresh green from Hatch. Mmmm-mmmmm-mmmmm!!
Would love to find a local source for Bueno frozen.

I've been looking for years. No luck. Albertson's in Anaheim had it last summer, but no luck in Northern California so far that I know of. I'd really appreciate any information that it can be found up here.
0 -
In desperation I called the Wal-Mart Supercenter out in Stockton. They have Albuquerque Tortilla Company's Roasted Chopped Green Chile! A bit of a drive but worth it!! I also emailed Bueno but haven't heard back.
re: bruaham
An update on the Stockton Super Wal-Mart. They no longer carry frozen Green. They do though have 505 chopped green chile in a jar (http://www.505chile.com/roastedgreenc...) . I'm not sure if 505 can be found around town but I wouldn't be surprised (their website says a store in Pacifica sells their products, I will find out). It's not too bad, it has lime juice in it so it has that tangy taste that canned Hatch brand chile has but 505 has a real nice heat to it which Hatch does not. I will be headed back to Albuquerque in December so hopefully I can smuggle some real stuff back on the plane.
Bueno sent me a very nice reply (below). In short, they don't distribute in Northern CA. Maybe we could get a bunch of people together and get a store to order some of their new "Autumn Roast". It sounds so good!!!
http://www.giftbasketsjust4u.com/pubs...Bueno's reply follows:
We currently do not distribute to San Francisco, CA or surrounding areas at
this time, but if you let your local store manager know your interest in
these products, it would certainly help. Hearing from direct consumers
goes a long way in the eyes of the store manager/buyer. In the short
run, they may even be able to order the product for you from their
Warehouse if you happen to shop at a store such as Albertsons, etc.
that has a warehousing program in place. Together, hopefully in the
future we can get the product into your region. We're working on it!0

Dupree Park
Jacksonville, Arkansas 1 course · 18 holes Driving directions
Course reviews
+0 votes Brad H › August 4, 2013
This is a pretty decent course with a bunch of fun and challenging holes varying from short baskets with tough fairs or borderline par 4 holes where you can air it out. There are also many tunnel shots with the most challenging being hole 18. You'll see. Hole 17 is also a really challenging hole because the fair runs border to a deep creek where lost discs could be a pain in the butt to find. Overall Dupree is a great course however, make sure if you play here that it hasn't rained a day or possibly two prior because flooding can ruin the front 9.

American Academy of Ophthalmology Web Site: www.aao.org Original URL: May 2005
Studies are under way to evaluate much-needed alternatives to treating macular edema associated with central and branch retinal vein occlusion.
Where are they leading, and what hope can they offer patients facing visual impairment?
Retinal vein occlusion remains second only to diabetic retinopathy as the most common retinal vascular disorder, and treatment—especially for the associated macular edema that can severely reduce visual acuity—has always been challenging. In fact, no proven, effective therapy currently exists for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO); patient prognosis is dictated to a large extent by the severity of the occlusion and the natural history of the disease, rather than by compelling evidence that any intervention actually alters the outcome, according to Paul Sternberg Jr., MD.For branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), which occurs about three times as often as CRVO, the only proven treatment for the condition's associated macular edema is grid laser photocoagulation, and even that yields only modest visual acuity improvement (see "Grid Laser for BRVO: Still the Only Game in Town?").Which is why researchers are looking in multiple directions for new and effective therapies for retinal vein occlusion. "Whenever you start seeing a large number of newer treatments being developed and tested, it means that we don't have a good therapy for the disease," said Nelson R. Sabates, MD. Current experimental treatments range from intravitreal corticosteroid injections to surgical procedures. Although some of these newer approaches appear promising, the evidence demonstrating efficacy is not yet definitive for any of them.
PHARMACOLOGIC AGENTSMany retinal specialists believe that new pharmacologic interventions—from corticosteroids, like triamcinolone acetonide, to anti-VEGF agents—offer the greatest promise for the management of CRVO and BRVO. In fact, as interest in some of the experimental surgical treatments (see below) wanes, newer drug treatments may be the wave of the future.
Corticosteroid Injection"Since about 1999, intravitreal corticosteroid injections have been gaining in popularity," said Michael S. Ip, MD. Although these injections have been used in patients with either central or branch retinal vein occlusion, the literature has many more reports of its use to manage macular edema associated with CRVO."To date, there have been small case series that have shown some apparent short-term benefits associated with triamcinolone injections," said William F. Mieler, MD. He pointed out, however, that longer-term studies with greater numbers of patients are needed.In a study at Duke University involving a small series of nine eyes with perfused CRVO (and visual acuity of 20/50 or worse), intravitreal injections of 4 milligrams of triamcinolone produced biomicroscopic improvement in cystoid macular edema in all treated eyes. "The injections were very effective in resolving the edema, but there also was a corresponding improvement in vision," recalled Sharon Fekrat, MD, the study's senior author. The mean BCVA improved from 58 letters at baseline to 78 letters at an average follow-up of 4.8 months.1The increasing popularity of corticosteroid injections is due in part to the "immediate gratification" that many patients experience. "Some of these individuals have a very rapid improvement in visual acuity, with a reduction in macular edema," noted Dr. Ip.Nevertheless, because of the short-term follow-up in most case series, unanswered questions remain not only about long-term benefits, but also about possible long-term side effects of triamcinolone injections, including whether the incidence of cataract and glaucoma might increase with treatment. Also, added Dr. Ip, because the drug is given via an intravitreal injection, there are potential side effects such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage and endophthalmitis.Researchers at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami reported minimal serious adverse effects (as well as significant improvements in visual acuity) in a small sample size of 13 consecutive patients with macular edema associated with CRVO, treated with intravitreal triamcinolone and followed for up to six months. One patient showed an increase in IOP, which was managed with aqueous suppressants.2Some patient series have reported post-treatment recurrences of macular edema (accompanied by declines in visual acuity), requiring repeat triamcinolone injections, typically every three to six months. "It's not known whether the side effects will increase with additional injections, and whether the treatment effect will wane with these repeated injections," said Dr. Ip.The SCORE Study. A large controlled, randomized clinical trial called the SCORE (Standard Care vs. COrticosteroid for REtinal Vein Occlusion) study is now under way in about 90 centers in the United States, funded by the NEI to evaluate the use of intravitreal triamcinolone for macular edema in about 1,200 patients with CRVO or BRVO. All patients are being randomized to either 1 mg or 4 mg of triamcinolone, vs. standard care therapy (e.g., observation in CRVO, laser photocoagulation in BRVO). Patients will be followed for up to three years to measure long-term treatment efficacy and safety; reinjections (if needed) will be performed beginning at four months after the initial therapy.Although previous case series have used the triamcinolone formulation found in Kenalog, the SCORE study is using a preservative-free triamcinolone product from Allergan formulated specifically for use in this study."Enough of us have been doing intravitreal triamcinolone injections for enough years, and seeing the edema dry up, that it has called for a study on a much wider scale like the SCORE study," said Dr. Sabates. "The questions to be answered include whether it should be used in place of the laser in BRVO patients, or as an adjunct to the laser, as well as whether you should use it at initial presentation or, rather, wait several months and try the laser first."To date, there is no consensus on the precise mechanism of action of intravitreal injections of corticosteroids. One theory is that corticosteroids may inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor, thereby reducing VEGF concentrations in the vitreous cavity, and in turn curtailing the capillary leakage that contributes to macular edema.
MacugenOne anti-VEGF drug, pegaptanib sodium injection (Macugen), is already FDA-approved for neovascular AMD. A Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was initiated in 2004 to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Macugen in the treatment of macular edema secondary to CRVO. In the trial, the drug is administered in a 0.3-mg dose every six weeks, with a total of five doses. The patients enrolled in the trial must have developed CRVO within six months of entry into the trial.Anti-VEGF compounds have two possible modes of action—antiangiogenic and antipermeability mechanisms, according to Dr. Sabates. The hope is that Macugen can suppress leakage and dry up the retina, improving functionality.Serious adverse events associated with the Macugen injection procedure itself in the AMD trials occurred in less than 1 percent of cases, and included endophthalmitis, retinal detachment and iatrogenic traumatic cataract. Although rises in IOP were noted within about 30 minutes of injection, pressure rapidly normalized and remained normal with more than two years of follow-up.

PosurdexA biodegradable implant, Posurdex delivers sustained-release dexamethasone, another corticosteroid. Thus far, although short-term benefits may occur with Posurdex in BRVO and CRVO patients who have macular edema, "there's no convincing evidence of long-term benefits at this time, or of whether these patients will do any better than natural history alone," said Dr. Mieler.
Infusions of tPAThe use of tPA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) is another approach being evaluated in CRVO patients. In initial case series, tPA was administered systemically, with no observable proven benefit. But more recently, researchers are studying other means of administration, including the use of cannulization techniques to thread a catheter into the central vein; tPA is then injected directly into the central retinal vein in an attempt to lyse the thrombus, improve perfusion and reduce macular edema. However, studies to date have provided only limited evidence of beneficial outcomes, and no randomized clinical trial has studied this treatment approach yet.
Recurring macular edema may require repeat injections every three to six months.Long-term benefits and possible side effects not yet fully studied.
Carries risk of intravitreal side effects (retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, endophthalmitis).
FDA-approved for neovascular AMD.
<1% AMD trial participants reported adverse events (injection-related endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, traumatic cataract).
SURGICAL APPROACHESDespite the recent promise of new drug therapies, researchers have not abandoned surgical procedures for the mitigation of complications associated with retinal vein occlusion.
Arteriovenous SheathotomyA number of case series have been published evaluating arteriovenous (AV) sheathotomy for the management of macular edema associated with BRVO.AV sheathotomy is intended to reduce compression of the artery over the branch retinal vein, therefore relieving blockage in the vein. However, some ophthalmologists remain unconvinced about the efficacy of the procedure. "There have been conflicting reports about the use of arteriovenous sheathotomy in helping patients with branch retinal vein occlusion," said Dr. Ip. "As a result, it appears to be a treatment that is decreasing in popularity."In a recent prospective, nonrandomized comparative study of 40 BRVO patients, John O. Mason III, MD, assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology, and his colleagues at the University of Alabama reported that sheathotomy produced significant improvements in vision, with mean visual acuity improving from 20/250 preoperatively to a mean 12-month BCVA of 20/63 postoperatively (14 months after surgery).3 In another study, this one at Duke University, AV sheathotomy produced a complete resolution of macular edema and significant visual improvement in only one-third of 27 consecutive BRVO cases; in the majority of patients, no improvement in vision occurred postprocedure.4Dr. Mieler would like to see data comparing sheathotomy to the natural history of BRVO and/or the use of corticosteroids to determine its efficacy with more precision. At this point, he said, it appears that certain patient criteria may improve the chances of success, including occlusions that have been present for shorter periods of time (e.g., six to 12 months) rather than years."I rarely perform arteriovenous sheathotomy in eyes with BRVO anymore," said Dr. Fekrat. "Visual improvement following this procedure is uncommon. There are still proponents of sheathotomy, but I think it's more likely to show no improvement in vision and macular function than it is to show improvement."
VitrectomyAlthough AV sheathotomy is often performed in conjunction with vitrectomy, some data indicate that vitrectomy alone might be just as beneficial. A recent retrospective study of BRVO patients with macular edema reviewed 36 eyes treated with vitrectomy alone or with vitrectomy plus AV sheathotomy; researchers found no significant differences in improvements in macular function between the treatments.5"Because some studies have shown that vitrectomy alone may be beneficial for macular edema in BRVO—whether or not you also do a sheathotomy—it may be the vitrectomy that's making the difference," said Dr. Fekrat.
In fact, some clinicians believe that vitrectomy alone might be a viable treatment choice for macular edema in both branch and central retinal vein occlusion. One theory is that a vitrectomy may relieve traction on the macula, and thus reduce macular edema. According to another hypothesis, removing the vitreous also will remove the cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factor associated with a venous occlusive event and, thus, the stimulus for macular edema will be reduced. "But at the present time," said Dr. Sabates, "there have been no large multicenter, randomized prospective trials indicating that vitrectomy alone is the best approach."
Radial Optic NeurotomyIn CRVO patients, radial optic neurotomy has emerged as a relatively recent experimental surgical treatment. In this technique, a microvitreoretinal blade is used to relax the scleral ring around the optic nerve; some investigators believe the procedure can relieve the "compartment syndrome" associated with compression of the central retinal vein, leading to an improvement in venous outflow. However, there is not yet a consensus on how radial optic neurotomy may work—or even if it works at all."You can find journal articles that say that radial optic neurotomy improves central retinal vein occlusion," noted Dr. Sabates, "but other articles say it doesn't. So without a prospective randomized study involving a fairly significant number of patients, there's no way we can know for sure."Although Dr. Sabates said he has done "a fair number of radial optic neurotomies myself, to be honest I've been underwhelmed by the outcomes. Some patients have done very well, and have come back from 20/400 to 20/40. But others haven't improved at all."The optimal patient criteria for the use of radial optic neurotomy are still unclear. Some ophthalmologists believe that those with ischemic CRVO may be the best candidates. "The natural history of ischemic CRVO tends to be worse than the nonischemic form of the disease, and this may justify undertaking the added surgical risk of radial optic neurotomy, which involves an incision in the optic nerve," said Dr. Ip.Adverse effects such as significant hemorrhage and neovascularization at the incision site have been reported in patients undergoing radial optic neurotomy.
Laser-Induced AnastomosisFor more than a decade, laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis has been investigated as an experimental therapy for central retinal vein occlusion. It is a technique that attempts to bypass the central retinal vein outflow. There were a few initial favorable reports describing use of the technique, but some negative findings as well. A study in the 1990s, involving 24 patients with nonischemic CRVO, found that a successful chorioretinal venous anastomosis could be performed in only one-third of cases, with improvements in visual acuity; in the remaining patients, an anastomosis could not be successfully created.6Reports of frequent adverse events have further reduced interest in laser-induced anastomosis. The adverse effects have included vitreous hemorrhages and choroidal neovascularization at the anastomosis site."There has been a decline in interest in the technique," said Dr. Fekrat. "The success rate is low, and the complication rate can be quite high. However, when a functioning anastomosis does form, it is usually a permanent fix."
WHAT DO WE TELL OUR PATIENTS?"From my point of view," said Dr. Sternberg, "the real problem with interventions where a goal is to reestablish blood flow—whether it's with a radial optic neurotomy, an AV sheathotomy or tPA—is that they're based on the presumption that you can reverse the course of the disease after the occlusion has occurred. But I don't think the evidence is compelling that reestablishment of blood flow with these interventions after a delay of weeks to months is going to have a significant impact on the natural course of the disease."When a patient with BRVO or CRVO shows up in his office, Dr. Sternberg explains that while a variety of treatments are being evaluated for the disease, "we think the best option today is to participate in the SCORE study."
Meanwhile, several other drugs are in the pipeline, said Dr. Sabates. "So in the next five to 10 years, there may be a significant number of new pharmacologic agents to choose from."_______________________________1 Park, C. H. et al.

Turing, Alan (1912-1954)
In Turing's test, the woman is then replaced by a computer. If the computer can convince the interrogator that it is a woman at the same rate as the real woman did, then the computer can be said to think. Researchers have argued about the importance of gender to Turing's thought experiment, and the relationship of his homosexuality to how he framed the question. What is striking, though, is that Turing replaced the metaphysical question of "Can machines think?" with a practical problem of whether or not a human might distinguish a computer from another human in a conversation. Disaster After pioneering in further work in computer and software design and in artificial intelligence, and after being honored for his war work with an OBE (Officer of the British Empire) in 1946 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1951 at an unusually young age, in 1952 Turing's life took an abrupt turn for the worse. In 1948, Turing had accepted a position as Deputy Director of the Royal Society Computing Laboratory at the University of Manchester and moved to that city, where he soon became involved with a young working class man, Murray Arnold, who would later burglarize his home. After reporting the burglary, Turing was arrested and prosecuted for what was then known under British law as "Gross Indecency," a section of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885 (also known as the Labouchère Amendment), under which Oscar Wilde had also been charged in 1895. Turing was offered a stark choice: go to prison or submit to the administration of the hormone estrogen. This procedure was known as "organo-therapy," a form of aversion therapy designed to destroy his sex drive. It was a type of chemical castration. The administration of the female hormone left Turing impotent. He also developed breasts. Two years after his arrest, and one year after this coerced and barbaric "therapy," Alan Turing used cyanide to kill himself. He left no note, and the circumstances of his death were inadequately investigated and perhaps left deliberately murky to spare his mother anguish. She believed his death to be accidental. Most commentators believe, however, that he committed suicide by eating an apple smeared with cyanide-laced jam. If one doubted that a homophobic society and the supposedly "neutral" sciences used to enforce its prejudices and expectations can cause great harm, one need only examine Turing's death to understand its eagerness to punish its gay and lesbian members. Notwithstanding the fact that he may have been the most brilliant scientist of his generation, someone whose work in deciphering the German codes during World War II played a major role in achieving Allied victory, Turing was nevertheless sacrificed to the cold war hysteria over homosexuality. Turing died on June 7, 1954.

The Horseman 3D; Is It The Most Convenient And Automated 35mm Stereo Camera Ever? Page 2
The bottom line: The Horseman 3D will deliver its best stereo images with
subjects in the 3-25-foot range, and especially in the 5-15-foot range, creating
a bit of hypostereo (larger than life-size appearance) at these distances (see
diagrams). Another result of the Horseman's design genesis is that the
viewfinder frame line, which is the same as the 45mm frame line in the Xpan
II, shows only about 90 percent horizontally and 80 percent vertically of what
appears on film at less than half life-size (0.45x) magnification.
Surprisingly, neither of these compromises turns out to be a serious defect--in
our extensive 20 36-exposure roll test of the Horseman 3D, it delivered outstanding
and lifelike results in shooting many typical stereo subjects, including flowers,
informal portraits, and wedding pictures. Indeed, the combination of Aperture-Priority
autoexposure, built-in motor drive, and fast shutter speeds allowed us to shoot
spontaneous action with confidence, something not always easy to do with a traditional
stereo 35.
On the plus side, the Horseman 3D is very well-balanced for handheld shooting,
fits nicely in the hands, and has well placed, logical controls that should
make any film shooter feel at ease. The shutter release is smooth and predictable.
Shutter noise is very low and the motor, while higher pitched, is quieter than
average. We liked the fact that the shutter speed dial locks at the A (Aperture-Priority
auto) setting and that the main Power/Shooting mode switch locks at the "off"
We were slightly disappointed that a camera of this price and quality does
not have a dedicated TTL flash system, but we must admit that the handful of
flash pictures we shot with a simple automatic flash unit turned out very well.
On the minus side, we didn't like the left-side-mounted tripod socket,
and found the rangefinder patch a little too small for comfort. The secondary
image is bright enough for focusing in low light, but its small size can be
confusing with certain subjects, such as flowers. Since a reconfigured rangefinder
is highly unlikely, perhaps they can add a slight tint to the rangefinder image
to help improve the visual contrast. On the whole, the range/viewfinder is very
good indeed--clear, contrasty, and reasonably bright.
Fortunately, the best thing about the Horseman 3D is the thing that matters
most--lens quality. The 38mm f/2.8 lenses are modern Tessar-formula (four-element,
three-group) optics labeled Super Horseman MC (for Multi-Coated) but they're
actually made by Fuji. These lenses are simply superb, delivering crisp, beautifully-detailed
images at all apertures and nice bokeh (out-of-focus image quality) at wider
apertures. Don't be put off by the two-bladed, diamond-shaped diaphragms,
a common feature of many stereo 35s. Theoretically they're not as good
as multi-blade iris diaphragms, but this is a case of theory be damned. Practically
speaking, the on-film results we got on Fujichrome Velvia 100 were outstanding
at all shooting distances, even when shooting backlit subjects. The other significant
advantage of the 3D: It's the only current 35mm stereo camera that's
ideal for covering the intimate range in between macro (ultra-close-ups) and
normal stereo shooting distances.
While practically anyone can shoot splendid and gratifying stereo pictures with
the Horseman 3D, 35mm stereo photography is not for the faint of heart or wallet.
Kodak and other big companies no longer supply low-cost cutting and mounting
services for stereo slides. You can do-it-yourself of course, but then you need
a good supply of mounts, cutters, viewers and/or projectors, and a source of
expert advice. I got all of this, including expert mounting services, from long-time
stereo guru Jon Golden at 3D Concepts, PO Box 715, Carlisle, MA 01741; (978)
371-5557; www.make3Dimages.com.
After analyzing my results, Golden agreed that the camera performs best in the
5-15-foot range, and noted that 24x30mm mounts were the largest that could be
used and were only suitable "for situations where the foreground is 8-10
ft away since there is very little extra film chip information that allows for
adjustment of the horizontal window setting." He mounted most of my stereo
slides in 23x28mm European-size mounts, which he judged to be "the main
choice except where cropping is needed or chosen." Golden is certainly
a stickler, but he was sufficiently impressed with my results to sign on as
a distributor of the Horseman 3D, which will have a street price of about $4500.
Depth perception comes from a combination of depth clues (size differences of
recognizable objects, shading, etc.) and parallax. Parallax is the apparent
movement of a near point with respect to a far point from different viewpoints--in
this case the left and right eyes--and is the basis of stereo vision. Diagram
A illustrates this for a typical eye spacing of about 68mm, which is also the
lens spacing of the stereo cameras from the 1950s. For the 34mm spacing of the
Horseman lenses, and an object of a given distance, the parallax is reduced
by half compared to typical eye spacing. For the same perceived depth the objects
must be half as far away, as illustrated in Diagram B. For this reason, the
Horseman will create its best 3D images for closer scenes (3-25 ft), creating
a bit of hypostereo (larger than life-size appearance).
I really couldn't agree more...

Though I have not personally used it I have heard that its an amazing one with good quality and sharp focus. These cameras are going to make a drastic change in an already advanced market. The market of photogaraphy is always receptive to sophisticated technologies and hope The Horseman Series rock the market. falcon1

Honda is on a freaking roll! :clap Just spotted this on FB
http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/a...ysterymoto.jpg "On February 8th, we'll be revealing an entirely new series of motorcycles! Check back here on the 8th for all the details!" It's most def a naked...but what size? We got the 700cc last year and the 500's this year. Are they going bigger or smaller? Anyone care to zoom and lighten the above pic for clues? |
1200 Crosstour?
could they have posted a crappier picture?!
:ddog |
It looks like the new CRF450L or CRF650L.
looks like the front of a CB500f or x to me.
just a guess
http://www.honda.co.jp/NC700S/ :norton |
Not sure about the photo, but we sure could use the VFR1200X Crosstourer. Or its little brother, the VFR800X Crossrunner. Or both!
Sellin' the sizzle.....
Needs an HID upgrade.:deal
Mid displacement vtwin, like the sv650? Sign me up...

Wake me up when Honda does something exciting using a motor that is greater than 1000cc's. The current offerings lack the ability to get me to notice...
Unfortunately, the MC division has the same affliction as the car division. They have some of the best engineering and reliability in the world, yet they choose to make unoffensive machines that are high on utility and sorely lacking in excitement. I hope this new batch proves me wrong, but I doubt that it will... Side rant: I wish that Honda made a car that I could buy that I could be excited about. Instead I have to go to the much more expensive, temperamental and maintenance intensive German cars to find something that raises my pulse. I wish that there were a fast, fun automobile made by Honda...:huh Life is short, Honda. You're the best, but you're boring. Come on, live a little. :evil |
