DH gave me a Kindle for Xmas and I LOVE it - I love so much in fact that I am finding I am a compulsive Amazon shopper and I need to stop spending $
Can you guys suggest some free eBooks or sites where I can get them? I like mystery,paranormal, fantasy,historical - I can take or leave romance but erotica leaves me cold (the only thing worse than erotica is BADLY written erotica)
I LOVE my Kindle
Posted 14 January 2013 - 01:59 PM

Posted 14 January 2013 - 02:08 PM
Pixel of Ink sends you daily emails of what Amazon have really cheap or free. Most of my books on my kindle are suggestions from them.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 02:48 PM
If u sort the books on amazon from $ low to high all the free ones come to the top (mind u, u have to watch out for the ones they slip in there that aren't free!
Posted 14 January 2013 - 02:48 PM
I am on this mailing list.. they have cheap and free books with reviews and a run down of the book. Without fail I get at least one book per day from the email. Yesterday I got three.
Most are authors I have never heard of and books I would never have read but have all been great so far.

Configuring filesystems with mkfs, df, du, and fsck
Although most Linux distributions today have simple-to-use graphical interfaces for setting up and managing filesystems, knowing how to perform those tasks from the command line is a valuable skill. We'll show you how to configure and manage filesystems with mkfs, df, du, and fsck.
Linux supports a wide array of filesystem types, including many that originated on other operating systems. The most common choices for hard disks, however, remain the native Linux ext2 and ext3 (the successor to ext2), followed by the high-performance XFS and ReiserFS filesystems. For compatibility, it is also important to know how to work with the VFAT filesystem, because it is the standard choice found pre-installed on many media, including USB thumb drives and flash disks.

text: Since Toshiba covered the high-end earlier, it's only fitting that it busts out a bevy of low-end hardware to right the ship. The "Mist Gray" Satellite M115 lineup, supposedly targeted at "on-the-go consumers" looking for "productivity and entertainment" on the cheap, doesn't pack any Merom goodness, but it does manage a decent showing for the price. The Satellite M115-S1061 houses a lowly 1.6GHz Intel Celeron M processor, 14.1-inch WXGA widescreen LCD, Windows XP Home, integrated ATi Radeon Xpress 200 graphics, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, 80GB 5,400RPM SATA drive, CD burning combo drive, WiFi, S-Video out, a foursome of USB 2.0 ports, and a paltry "2.08 hours" of battery life. The S1071 model throws in a DVD burner, while the S1064 is powered by Windows XP MCE. Cranking things up ever so slightly is the Satellite M115-S3094, which rocks a 1.6GHz T2050 Intel Core Duo processor, Windows XP MCE, integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, 80GB 5,400RPM SATA drive, dual-layer DVD burner, 802.11a/b/g, four USB 2.0 ports, video outputs, a 4-pin FireWire connector, and a somewhat more respectable "3.97 hours" of battery life. The S3154 sports a "Smart Indigo" enclosure in favor of the gray, while the S3104 gets a full gig of RAM. Besides the dizzying amount of specs, the real news here is the pricing: the M115-S1061 series starts at just $700, while the M115-S3094 flavors will set you back around $850.[Via Laptoping]

While we still have no definite news on where the million or so Semprons that ASUS is rumoured to have bought will end up, but we do know that China will be seeing them for sale.

me and you
I'm a fairly active person, but know we all need down time to bring balance to life and to renew our body and soul. I tend to be a night owl, but am finding that as time passes, I enjoy going to bed a bit earlier and watching the sun rise in the morning. I do prefer a clean and organized home, but understand life happens first. I'm currently working toward becoming job optional. I enjoy working on home projects or chores together. When the weather's nice I'm typically outside, preferably with a cold drink in hand! I'm not much of a TV fanatic. Aside from a couple shows I do like, I probably couldn't tell you what else is on. I occasionally do like to game, but it doesn't consume me. I can take it or leave it. If you like to game, I'll play with you now and then. I do like a good movie, and do that more when the weather is bad. I hope you'll watch a chick flick with me now and then?
Middle of the Road
I prefer warm climates, sandy beaches, anywhere on the lake/ocean. Love anywhere with live music, dancing, beautiful sunsets, starry skies, water, fun in the sun. My goal is to have my own ocean/lake-front house. I want to travel and go on cruise.
Music: Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Creed, Norah Jones, Josh Groban, Brandon Heath, Tenth Avenue North. I admit, I like cute feet. Ha ha. And I love kissing. I think it's highly underrated, and is one of the best ways to express love intimately.
Boating, fishing, hiking, jet skiing, camping, biking, music, bonfires, concerts, festivals, cookouts, grilling out, dining out, movies, walks along the beach, vacation getaways, road trips, riding motorcycles. I have a helmet if you have the bike?

The identification of novel genes is critical to understanding the molecular basis of body weight. Towards this goal, we have identified secretogranin V (Scg5; also referred to as Sgne1), as a candidate gene for growth traits.
Through a combination of DNA microarray analysis and quantitative PCR we identified a strong expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) regulating Scg5 expression in two mouse chromosome 2 congenic strains and three additional F2 intercrosses. More importantly, the eQTL was coincident with a body weight QTL in congenic mice and Scg5 expression was negatively correlated with body weight in two of the F2 intercrosses. Analysis of haplotype blocks and genomic sequencing of Scg5 in high (C3H/HeJ, DBA/2J, BALB/cByJ, CAST/EiJ) and low (C57BL/6J) expressing strains revealed mutations unique to C57BL/6J and possibly responsible for the difference in mRNA abundance. To evaluate the functional consequence of Scg5 overexpression we measured the pituitary levels of 7B2 protein and PCSK2 activity and found both to be increased. In spite of this increase, the level of pituitary α-MSH, a PCSK2 processing product, was unaltered.
Together, these data support a role for Scg5 in the modulation of body weight.

Do you? Not every Batman movie features the Joker. We've had two successful Iron Man movies without the Mandarin. Lex Luthor is not Superman's only foe. It's just that the live-action Superman movies to date haven't been very flexible in their choice of villains. Just because something has been done repetitively in the past, that doesn't mean it needs to be done.
Lex is more than Superman's enemy. He is supporting character in Superman's cast, just like Jimmy Olsen and Perry White. Would you make a Batman movie without Alfred or Commissioner Gordon?

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medarex, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEDX) announced today results from a preclinical study for MDX-1401, a second-generation non-fucosylated version of MDX-060 that targets CD30, a marker for activated lymphocytes that is present on the malignant cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) as well as other CD30-expressing cancers. MDX-1401 demonstrated almost a doubling in potency and efficacy in cell lines when compared to MDX-060. The improved potency and efficacy of MDX-1401 in in vivo xenograft models indicates enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity, an important mechanism of action of therapeutic antibodies. In addition to anti-tumor activity, the preclinical data showed a statistically significant increase in median survival time for the MDX-1401 treatment group when compared to the MDX-060 treatment group.
The data were presented in a poster presentation entitled "Characterization of MDX-1401, a human anti-CD30 antibody with enhanced effector function, for therapy of malignant lymphoma" (abstract #1580) at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) being held December 6-9, 2008 in San Francisco, CA.
"We are excited with the growing body of scientific evidence that indicates enhanced ADCC and improved anti-tumor efficacy with the second generation anti-CD30 antibody, MDX-1401, as compared to MDX-060," said Geoffrey M. Nichol, MBChB, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Medarex. "The data we have seen to date continues to inform our development plans and underscores the importance of assessing MDX-1401 as a potentially more potent therapeutic for CD-30 expressing malignancies. We look forward to presenting results from the ongoing Phase 1 MDX-1401 study and the recently completed Phase 2 MDX-060 study in 2009."

Product description
An unimpeachable classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, "The Road to Serfdom" has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. Originally published in 1944 - when Eleanor Roosevelt supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and barrel to the socialist program - "The Road to Serfdom" was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For F. A. Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. First published by the University of Chicago Press on September 18, 1944, "The Road to Serfdom" garnered immediate, widespread attention. The first printing of 2,000 copies was exhausted instantly, and within six months more than 30,000 books were sold. In April 1945, "Reader's Digest" published a condensed version of the book, and soon thereafter the Book-of-the-Month Club distributed this edition to more than 600,000 readers. A perennial best seller, the book has sold 400,000 copies in the United States alone and has been translated into more than twenty languages, along the way becoming one of the most important and influential books of the century.

An intraocular lens (IOL) includes an optic for focusing light, an outer ring for supporting the optic in a capsular bag of an eye and a plurality of radially spaced apart, elongated intermediate members connecting the optic to the outer ring. The intermediate members are configured to convert radial forces exerted by the capsular bag on the support ring into axial movement of the optic, allowing a presbyopic patient to more effectively focus on near objects. The outer ring is preferably contoured to conform to the portion of the capsular bag between the anterior and posterior zonules, and has sufficient axial thickness to contact both sets of zonules. In addition, the edge of the ring includes at least one sharp edge corner to prevent epithelial cell growth toward the optic. In addition, the outer ring may include weakened areas configured to allow consistent and repeatable deformation in response to compressive forces.

This application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 60/348,705, filed Jan. 14, 2002, and provisional application Ser. No. 60/372,309, filed Apr. 12, 2002. The disclosure of each of these provisional applications is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
The present invention relates to intraocular lenses (IOLs). More particularly, the present invention relates to IOLs that provide accommodating movement in the eye.
The human visual system includes the eyes, the extraocular muscles which control eye position within the eye socket, the optic and other nerves that connect the eyes to the brain, and particular areas of the brain that are in neural communication with the eyes. Each eye forms an image upon a vast array of light sensitive photoreceptors of the retina. The cornea is the primary refracting surface which admits light through the anterior part of the outer surface of the eye. The iris contains muscles which alter the size of the entrance port of the eye, or pupil. The crystalline lens has a variable shape within the capsular bag, under the indirect control of the ciliary muscle. Having a refractive index higher than the surrounding media, the crystalline lens gives the eye a variable focal length, allowing accommodation to objects at varying distances from the eye.
Much of the remainder of the eye is filled with fluids and materials under pressure which help the eye maintain its shape. For example, the aqueous humor fills the anterior chamber between the cornea and the iris, and the vitreous humor fills the majority of the volume of the eye in the vitreous chamber behind the lens. The crystalline lens is contained within a third chamber of the eye, the posterior chamber, which is positioned between the anterior and vitreous chambers.
The human eye is susceptible to numerous disorders and diseases, a number of which attack the crystalline lens. For example, cataracts mar vision through cloudy or opaque discoloration of the lens of the eye. Cataracts often result in partial or complete blindness. If this is the case, the crystalline lens can be removed and replaced with an intraocular lens, or IOL.
While restoring vision, conventional IOLs have limited ability for accommodation (i.e., the focusing on near objects). This condition is known as presbyopia. To overcome presbyopia of an IOL, a patient may be prescribed eyeglasses. Alternative attempts in the art to overcome presbyopia focus on providing IOLs with accommodation ability. Accommodation may be accomplished by either changing the shape of the IOL, e.g., to become more convex to focus on near objects, or by moving the IOL along its optical axis. Examples of this latter approach are disclosed in Gwon et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,176,878 and Laguette et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,406,494. The disclosures of both these patents are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
In a healthy eye, accommodation is achieved through the actions of the ciliary muscles as well as through changes in the pressure exerted by vitreous fluids on the capsular bag. Prior art accommodating IOLs have typically attempted to take advantage of one of these two naturally occurring mechanisms. For instance, one class of accommodating IOL takes advantage of changes in the pressure of the vitreous fluids by placing the optic of the IOL in direct contact with the posterior wall of the capsular bag. Thus, axial forces on the capsular bag are transmitted directly to the optic. Another class of accommodating IOL takes advantage of the actions of the ciliary muscles by circumscribing the optic with a flexible, anteriorly vaulted movement assembly that converts radial forces on the capsular bag into axial movement of the optic.
IOLs which use primarily only one of these two naturally occurring mechanisms have a tendency to provide insufficient forward axial movement to achieve full range accommodation.
In addition, some of the prior art accommodating IOL designs include relatively stiff outer rings for supporting the IOL in the capsular bag of the eye. These outer rings add stability to the design. However, research has shown that in some designs, the ring may buckle or bend when the capsular bag is compressed. Unfortunately, the buckling or bending does not occur in a predictable or reliable fashion. In other words, a ring may buckle in one location at one time, and in another location another time. Because of this, the compression and movement characteristics of the IOL are inconsistent, and tilting and other undesirable outcomes may occur.
In view of the foregoing, it would be beneficial in the art, and there continues to be a need, to provide new IOLs adapted for sufficient accommodation to overcome or significantly reduce the effects of presbyopia.
In accordance with the present invention, an intraocular lens for insertion into a capsular bag of an eye comprises an optic, an outer ring surrounding the optic, and movement assembly including a plurality of intermediate members that extend between the optic and the outer ring and transmit forces therebetween. The optic preferably has a circular periphery centered on an optical axis and is adapted to focus light toward a retina of an eye and to provide a vision correction. The outer ring is spaced from the optic with voids therebetween.
The outer ring may be either circular or ovoid in configuration. In embodiments having a circular outer ring, the intermediate members are preferably distributed asymmetrically about any plane that includes the optical axis. For instance, in one preferred embodiment, three intermediate members are arranged at 120� intervals around the circumference of the ring. In embodiments having an oval outer ring, there are preferably only two diametrically opposed intermediate members.
In the case of an oval outer ring, the ring has a major axis and a minor axis. In one embodiment of the invention, the outer end of each intermediate member is secured to the outer ring at a point on the major axis, and the inner end is secured to the periphery of the optic at a point on the minor axis. In other words, the intermediate members are non-linear, and the inner and outer ends are displaced by 90� with respect to one another. In another embodiment, the inner and outer ends are both aligned with the major axis.
Each intermediate member may have a hinge therein that permits radial forces imparted by the surrounding eye structure, e.g. muscles, to more effectively translate the optic along the optical axis. The hinges may have any suitable structure effective to provide such enhanced translation relative to a substantially identical IOL including intermediate members without hinges, such as an IOL with uniformly structured intermediate members. A typical hinge structure may include a reduced axial or circumferential thickness region along a plate-like intermediate member.
Preferably, the outer ring has an outer surface that is convexly outwardly curved to match the contour of the interface between the capsular bag and the zonules of the eye. In addition, the outer ring may have at least one relatively sharp edge to reduce epithelial cell growth thereon. In addition, the outer ring may be continuous and have an axial thickness of at least 0.4 mm. Desirably, the optic, outer ring and intermediate members are integrally formed, for example molded, of a single piece of material.
In one embodiment, the outer ring has an axial dimension and the intermediate members attach to a posterior edge of the outer ring. Furthermore, the intermediate members may be bowed in the posterior direction, causing the optic to be posteriorly vaulted.
In accordance with still another embodiment, the support ring of the IOL is structured to result in consistent bending and movement of the ring in response to compressive forces. The improved ring structure includes weakening means, such as thinned areas, grooves, notches or hinges to allow consistent and repeatable deformation during compression. The weakening means may positioned to cause bending in an inward, outward, posterior, or anterior direction, or any combination of these. Ideally, the weakening means are located symmetrically within the ring, and are located opposite the intermediate members.
Each and every feature described herein, and each and every combination of two or more of such features, is included within the scope of the present invention provided that the features included in such a combination are not mutually inconsistent.
Additional aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention are set forth in the following description and claims, particularly when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like parts bear like reference numbers.
Referring to the drawings in more detail, an intraocular lens (IOL) 20 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in
A brief description of the anatomy of the eye is appropriate in order to understand the invention. The capsular bag 22 resides in the posterior chamber of the eye and is in direct contact with the jelly-like vitreous humor 28 which fills the nearly spherical space between the capsular bag and the retina (not shown). In a healthy person, the capsular bag 22 contains the natural crystalline lens which transmits light passing through the orifice of the iris 30 to the retina. The capsular bag 22 is connected to an annular ciliary muscle 34 by suspensory ligaments or zonules 36. The ciliary muscle 34 is the chief agent in accommodation, i.e., in adjusting the eye to focus on near objects. The zonules 36 retain the lens in position and are relaxed by the contraction of the ciliary muscle 34, thereby allowing a natural crystalline lens to become more convex.
Applying this anatomy to the present invention, exemplary IOL 20 is configured to facilitate movement of the optic 24 in response to the action of the ciliary muscle 34 and the zonules 36. When the ciliary muscle 34 constricts inward, the zonules 36 relax and reduce the equatorial diameter of the capsular bag 22, wherein the optic 24 translates in the posterior direction against the rear wall of the capsular bag 22. Conversely, when the ciliary muscle 34 relaxes, the zonules 36 tense and increase the equatorial diameter of the capsular bag 22, thereby moving the optic 24 in the anterior direction, or at least reducing the posterior bias.
It should be understood that, in the illustrated embodiment, the optic 24 is biased against the rear wall of the capsular bag 22 at all times, and axial movement of the optic from the action of the ciliary muscle 34 is primarily governed by the position of the rear wall. That is, changes in pressure of the vitreous humor 28 act on the rear wall of the capsular bag 22 and cause it to translate in the axial direction. This movement is facilitated by relaxation of the ciliary muscle 34, which at least reduces the rearward bias of the optic 24. For example,
In a preferred embodiment, the optic 24 is a multifocal optic having a plurality of zones of varying optical powers, wherein the maximum add power of the "near" zones is reduced by an amount equivalent to the diopter shift obtained through axial movement of the optic 24. Thus, the net power correction in the near zones is equal to the patient's full add prescription only when optic 24 has moved to the near distance (i.e. anteriormost) position. Examples of suitable multifocal optics are disclosed in Lang et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,231,603 and Lang et al. PCT International Application No. WO/01/82839 A1. The disclosures of both the U.S. patent and the PCT international application are incorporated in the entirety herein by reference.
The movement assembly 26 comprises a pair of intermediate members 50 a, 50 b connected to and extending between the circular periphery 42 of the optic 24 and an outer ring 52. Each intermediate member 50 a, 50 b has an inner end 54 connected to the circular periphery 42, and an outer end 56 connected to the outer ring 52. "Connected" in this sense means firmly attached to with adhesive or ultrasonic bonding, or preferably formed integrally, or as a cohesive single piece. In the latter case, the lens is desirably molded. Each intermediate member 50 a, 50 b is desirably oriented in a plane that is in the optic plane. Indeed, the intermediate members 50 a, 50 b and outer ring 52 may have approximately the same thickness and be located in the same plane.
Although controlled fibrosis (i.e., cellular growth) on the outer ring 52 may be desirable, the IOLs 20 of the invention inhibit cell growth, particularly epithelial cell growth, onto the optic 24. This is accomplished by configuring the periphery 42 of the optic 24 with mechanical barriers such as relatively sharp posterior and/or anterior edge corners. The proliferation of unwanted epithelial cell growth may also be inhibited through the use of material properties.
The intermediate members 50 a, 50 b of the IOL 20 are substantially longer than previous intermediate members as they extend in a nonlinear fashion from the outer ring 52 to the circular optic periphery 42. More particularly, the inner end 54 and outer end 56 are angularly spaced about the optical axis OA by at least approximately 90�. The mid-portion of each intermediate member 50 extends in a serpentine fashion between its inner and outer ends.
In a preferred embodiment, as seen in
The fixation members 76 a,b are shown as plate-like, and desirably are greater in width (the dimension parallel to the minor axis) than axial thickness (the dimension parallel to the optical axis). Preferably, the ratio of width to axial thickness is about four. In absolute terms, the width of the fixation members 76 a, 76 b may be between about 0.8 mm and about 3.0 mm.
In addition, an outer ring 96 having increased axial thickness will increase the pressure on the sharp corner 99 of the edge surface 97 to increase the barrier effect of the ring against PCO.
Movement systems other than that shown may be suitable, such as a more solid interface rather than discrete intermediate members. However, separated intermediate members with voids therebetween and between the optic 104 and support ring 102 are preferred. The support ring 102, inner optic 104, and intermediate members 106 are firmly attached to each other with adhesive or ultrasonic bonding, or preferably formed integrally, i.e., molded or machined as one cohesive (homogeneous) piece of material. The IOL 100 is desirably liquid injection molded from silicone or machined from a hydrophilic material which fabrication process reduces cost and increases quality and/or consistency of the product.
As in the embodiment of
With reference to
In one exemplary embodiment, the support ring 102 has a diameter of between about 9.0–10.5 mm, and an axial thickness of about 0.7 mm. Furthermore, the support ring 102 has a curvature that mimics the curvature of the natural capsular bag between the anterior and posterior zonules, which curvature is between about 0.3–1.0 mm. As mentioned above, at least one corner edge of the outer ring is left sharp to help prevent cell growth thereon.
Although three radial intermediate members 106 are illustrated 120� apart, the configuration of the intermediate members 106 may vary. However, two factors that are believed to facilitate axial movement, or accommodation, of the optic 104 are the tripod orientation and presence of the hinges 112. More specifically, inward radial forces from the surrounding ciliary muscle and intermediary zonules are transmitted from the support ring 102 through the intermediate members 106 to the optic 104. Because the intermediate members 106 are oriented so that none is diametrically opposed to another, there are no directly opposing forces and a larger component therefore translates into axial movement of the optic 104.
The intermediate members 106 are plate-like to increase stability of the lens in the eye. That is, the forces imparted by the surrounding ciliary muscle may not be entirely uniform and may exert torsional forces on the lens. Plate-like intermediate members 106 help resist twisting of the lens and thus increases stability. The circumferential thickness, or width, of the intermediate members 106 may be between about 1.5–4.0 mm, and the axial thickness is desirably between about 0.2–0.5 mm.
Another alternative IOL 120 of the present invention is seen in
As seen best in
The intermediate members 122 are plate-like, each having a relatively larger circumferential than axial dimension. In contrast to the IOL 100 of
With reference to
As with the earlier embodiment, the optic 126, whether it be biconvex or otherwise, is recessed from a circular rim 130 to which the intermediate members 122 are directly attached. The rim 130 is slightly tapered downward toward the optic and helps reduce glare on the lens. Desirably, the maximum axial dimension of the rim 130 is greater than the center thickness of the optic 126. Advantageously, a reduced center thickness permits a reduction in incision size.
The circumferential thickness, or width, of each intermediate member 122′ is also non-uniform throughout its length, for instance decreasing in a non-linear fashion from a maximum width where the intermediate member 122′ joins the circular rim 130′ of the optic 126′ to a minimum width at the hinge 128′, and remaining substantially constant between the hinge 128′ and the outer ring 124′. This particular configuration of the oval outer ring 124′ and intermediate members 122′ has been found to be particularly stable, with minimal "flopping", twisting, or other unwanted movement, of the thinnest portions 125 a and 125 b of the ring 124.
A weakened portion 146 a, b is formed in each leg portion 142, 144 at a location along the minor axis 147 of the support ring 134, such that each weakened portion 146 a, b is 180� away from the other weakened portion 146 a, b and equidistant from the arcuate ends 138, 140 of the outer ring 134. Each weakened portion 146 a, b is in the form of a thinned area in one of the legs 142, 144, the thinned area being created, in this embodiment, by providing a generally C-shaped indentation 148 a, b on each side of the leg. This configuration ensures that any bending or buckling of the outer ring 134 as a result of compressive forces on the distal ends 138, 140 of the outer ring 134 will occur at the weakened portions rather than elsewhere.
In still another embodiment of the invention, shown in
In yet another embodiment, shown in
Alternatively, a weakened portion 192 according to another embodiment of the invention may comprise a thinned area, notch, indentation or groove formed in the anterior face 194 of the outer ring 196, as shown in
A weakened portion or portions could also be formed on any other combination or intersection of surfaces, for instance at a corner between a posterior surface and an outer circumferential surface to cause bending in anterior and radially inward directions, or at a corner between an anterior surface and an outer circumferential surface to cause bending in posterior and radially inward directions. Various other combinations of weakened portions will be readily apparent to the skilled practitioner, but for reasons of brevity will not be illustrated here.
The configuration, number and location of the weakened portions in each of the illustrated embodiments are intended merely to be illustrative and, in practice, will depend on various factors such as the number and configuration of the intermediate members, the materials used, and the mode of deformation desired.
Furthermore, the outer rings and intermediate members in the IOLs of the embodiments in each of the
In the most preferred embodiments, the optic body has a diameter in the range of about 3.5 to about 7 mm and, optimally, in the range of about 5 mm to about 6 mm. The overall diameter of the IOL, including the intermediate members and outer ring in unstressed conditions, is preferably about 8 mm to about 13 mm. Additionally, the optic has a far-vision correction power for infinity in an unaccommodated state.
While the present invention has been described with respect to various specific examples and embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto and that it can be variously practiced within the scope of the following claims.

APA kicks off psychotherapy awareness initiative
APA launched a new public awareness campaign in September to help people understand just how effective psychotherapy is in treating depression, anxiety and even stress. The campaign encourages psychologists to use a variety of new materials to spread the word through local media outreach and online social networks. These tools to help build awareness are available on APA's Psychology Help Center and include the updated brochure "For a Healthy Mind and Body…Talk to a Psychologist," the myths vs. realities of psychotherapy and "Understanding Psychotherapy and How it Works."
A series of Web-based animated videos about a fictional miracle drug called "Fixitol" helped launch the campaign. The videos are a parody of drug ads, drawing attention to the value of psychotherapy as a treatment option. While the series favorably compares psychotherapy to drugs, it does not deny the appropriate use of medications in treating some individuals.

At the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Yari Film Group premiered Brett Simon's Assassination of a High School President, a film noir mystery set inside the world of a John Hughes-style High School comedy. It quickly emerged as one of the underdogs on the schedule to become one of the most buzzed about films at the festival. Unfortunately, Yari Film Group was forced into involuntary bankruptcy, and the film has been sitting on the shelf ever since. This has presented a very serious problem for theatrical distribution, and because of the legalities of bankruptcy court, the timing of this economic downturn and a whole slew of other worst-case-scenarios, Assassination is on the verge of losing its opportunity to have the theatrical run it deserves.
There might still be hope. Studios are still deciding whether or not they want to take a financial risk by buying the theatrical rights, spending cash on P&A and distributing the movie theatrically. Sony has the home video distribution rights, and from a business standpoint, they think it makes more sense to send the film direct to dvd. But I, like many others, think that Assassination of a High School President deserves to be seen on the big screen. What can you do? Leave your thoughts in the comments below, become a fan of the film on Facebook, and spread the word. Distributors like Sony Pictures Classics, Samuel Goldwyn, Fox Searchlight, etc need to see that there's an audience out there waiting for an opportunity to see this film.
Why should you care about this movie? Here is what some other people have said about the film
Many people have drawn comparisons between this film and Rian Johnson's indie masterpiece Brick, and it would be hard not to. As I wrote in my original Sundance review "Assassination is not a copy of Brick, in fact, it was written before Brick. Imagine if John Hughes had made Chinatown set in a High School. So where Brick was a hardcore film noir story set in the world of high school students, Assassination is a high school movie with a noir mystery storyline." I always thought of it as a more accessible, more marketable film…
The latest rumor Mischa Barton would like to debunk is she's not appearing on the Melrose Place remake. Instead, the former O.C. star will make her return to the small screen with a role on another CW show, A Beautiful Life, produced by Ashton Kutcher.
"Ashton developed it about his life growing up as a model from Iowa, so it's about the whole fashion world that he was in, and obviously I have a lot of friends in the fashion world, so I'm used to being around a lot of people in that," Barton tells PEOPLE on Thursday night at a GQ magazine-hosted party to celebrate new men's fragrance Burberry the Beat.
And Barton, who recently attended the fashion shows in Paris, promises to put the catty in catwalker. "[I play] a bitchy model-type character, like it's a totally different character for me," says Barton, who starts shooting as Sonia, a successful model who keeps the competition at bay but also advises the younger ones, at the end of the month.
Aside from modeling experience, the former face of Dooney & Burke has something else in common with Kutcher – a desire to reach out to fans directly. While Kutcher favors Twitter, Barton has recently taken to her own blog to "clear up all the misconceptions."
Like what? "Like right now I'm supposedly too skinny. I just had to release a comment about how I'm eating enough and I'm healthy," says Barton, who nibbled on a sweet onion tart with mushroom and a burger during the event. "I'm more concerned for young girls these days … and I think it's important that you say I'm comfortable and I'm fine and you should to be too because it's, like, silly … You're always too skinny or too fat or too something."
Other things she wants to clear up: "Like places I go, what kind of people I hang out with, what I'm like, if I'm a party girl, if I have issues … my real fans might go there and check out the music I like, the books I read, stuff like that." Adds Barton, who also just broke the news of her breakup on her official Web site, "It's just the best way for me to clarify things and show people who I really am."
Couple of sets of candids from March 11th have been uploaded. Mischa looks a little stressed out in the day shots, but back to normal in the night shots.
– Mischa out in Hollywood with a friend – Mar 11
– Mischa eats out at Mulholland Grill in West Hollywood – Mar 11
"The O.C." alumna Mischa Barton has been tapped to star in CW's drama pilot "A Beautiful Life."
The project, from CBS Par, revolves around a group of models living together in a co-ed residence in New York.
Barton will play Sonja, a supermodel and veteran of the high-fashion circuit who is struggling to keep on top and is in danger of slipping.
Barton can bring personal experience to the role as she has modeled for such companies as Calvin Klein, bebe stores, Aeropostale, Monsoon Accessorize, Dooney & Bourke and JC (Jeans and Clothes).
Barton was originally up for another CW drama pilot, "Melrose Place," but that casting didn't materialize.
Best known for her role as Marissa Cooper on "The O.C.," Barton is repped by Paradigm.
BTW guys, this is The Hollywood Reporter breaking the news so its not some tabloid publication. Looks like we might be seeing Mischa on our screens very soon! We just have to hope that the show gets picked up by The CW.
Candids of Mischa out having lunch with a friend in LA have been uploaded. Check out the return of Ziggy and Charlie (Chiggy!), haven't seen them in a while! Mischa is apparently in town to host a party for BlackBook magazine tomorrow.
Additional photos from Mischa's trip last year to Soweto in Africa as an Ambassador for Save the Children have been uploaded.
With the DVD release only 7 days away, more promotional material for Mischa's psychological thriller Walled In continues to trickle in. 35 promotional stills have been uploaded to the site. The DVD is available for pre-order through Amazon for just $14.99.
Also check out the new and improved finalized trailer for the movie below:

ORLANDO, Florida — The stars weren't just on the court Sunday night during the NBA 2012 All-Star Game in Orlando as music and Hollywood's brightest came out to watch the Eastern ballers battle against the Western stars. Before the big game, some of our favorites walked the red carpet and talked b-ball with MTV News.
"Bananas" is how actor Pooch Hall described NBA All-Star Weekend in Orlando. Comedian Kevin Hart had a few highlights, but none bigger than when he won the MVP award for Friday's celebrity all-star game. Hart led his team to victory by scoring eight points and six assists. "I played a lot this year. I knew I was going to be playing in the celebrity game. A lot of people take this situation for granted — I don't," he told MTV News in jest. "What I did was I did a lot of weight training, a lot of cardio. It paid off — my endurance was where it was supposed to be. I played 38 minutes, which is unheard of in a celebrity game."
Hart's celebrity teammate Vinny Guadagnino from MTV's "Jersey Shore" didn't fare as well on the stat sheet, but enjoyed the weekend all the same. "It's my first All-Star Game, going for the East, New York, all day," he said.
Another NYC native, Michael Rapaport, wasn't rooting for a hometown hero in the ASG. He was actually hoping that Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard would come up big and have a great outing. But it didn't happen. Instead Dwight finished with nine points for the losing Eastern Conference All-Star squad.
It was a fun but highly contested game that was decided in the final seconds. Pooch Hall just hoped that no one got hurt. Unfortunately though, L.A. Lakers guard Kobe Bryant suffered a broken nose after he was fouled hard by Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade.
Still, there didn't seem to be any hard feelings throughout the entire weekend. "For me, All-Star is about having fun, and you see all these guys who are friends hanging out and having a good time, so it makes it great," LaLa Vasquez Anthony said.

This is a short follow up to the second episode of Stargate Universe (SGU). The 2-hour premiere of SGU was counted as 2 episodes. That's why last night's (Friday, October 10th) episode, 'Air', is noted as part 3.
Without much character development needed in this episode after what was established in the premiere, the story moved forward and I found the pace of this episode a bit easier and more enjoyable to follow.
If people came back to give the show a second chance, I think they will be pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the episode this week and thought it was much more engaging and worth my while.
There are some form of SPOILERS following the break, so be warned.
Though we know the crew only has 12 hours to go off-ship when the Destiny stops, I felt it was awful early on in the series to see how the teams will be constantly rushing against the clock.
Now tell me, if Dr. Rush had asked you to stick your arm in the event horizon in the hopes of engaging a safety feature of the ship, would you have just told him to do it himself? I'm just saying.
My new hero: Now tell me that Msgt Greer (Jamil Walker Smith) isn't your new hero, the way he was kicking Dr. Rush around on the planet? LOL. Sure, he might be a little off his logic-rocker, but I'll give him this one, for now.
I found it fascinating that when the Destiny drops out of FTL flight, it knows what Stargates are safe and not by locking out the dangerous addresses. Though the crew found a work-around and it seems we lost 2 crew members as they disregarded the idea of a dangerous gate address.
We also have a new mystery of sorts to look forward to in Stargate Universe – Anyone notice the blue shuttle / ball / probe thingy launch itself off the ship while the Destiny was in FTL? Any thoughts on what that was? I have an idea but I'll share later on in the comments!

Blank Screen After Nvidia Driver 270.41.06 Install

Stuck Screen After Nvidia Driver update from 260.19.44 to 270.41.06
Running OpenSuSE 11.4, 32 bit, kernel Linux 126.96.36.199-0.5-default i686, KDE: 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 6"
Graphic card is GeForce 7200 GS
Was running fine with nvidia driver 260.19.44
I then did the proprietary nVidia driver update to 270.41.06-5.1. with Yast from repository
. Rebooting after that does not work correctly.
Also, I deleted the nVidia 270.41.06 driver with Yast, rebooted, installed the nVidia driver using file NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06.run from
. Problem remained the same.
I had added nomodeset to the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst. In /etc/sysconfig/kernel NO-KMS-IN-INITRD = yes is set.
With driver 270.41.06, on boot GRUB goes to the login window OK. With a normal log in, the screen shows only the splash image with a thin, distorted line. At that screen, ctrl+alt+del, then down arrow key, then enter key, does a proper system halt, although nothing changes on the screen during the keystrokes.
I did a console login, became root, then ran startx -- -logverbose 6. That gave the start screen with the progress bar stuck about 75% done. I logged into the machine remotely via ssh and ran `nvidia-bug-report.sh` in the remote shell. Log file is uploaded, and hopefully available.
I can log in to failsafe KDE plasma mode, which uses 2D driver: fbdev
I have now switched the nvidia driver back to 260.19.44 the manual way, using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.44.run. Everything works correctly again, and uses the nvidia drivers.
