Retinal Artery Occlusions
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO)
A central retinal artery occlusion is a blockage of the main artery supplying the retina of the eye. It causes severe, sudden, painless loss of vision. It is not clear how frequently this occurs, but CRAO's are estimated to account for approximately 1 per 10,000 outpatient visits at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. Although the abnormality may be seen in children, it is most frequently encountered in older adults. The average age at presentation is in the early sixties.
Men are more frequently affected than women, and there appears to be no predilection for one eye over the other. Bilateral involvement occurs in 1% to 2% of cases. When both eyes are simultaneously affected by retinal artery obstruction, the possibilities of heart valve disease, giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritits), and other vascular inflammations should be strongly considered.
Patients with CRAOs complain of sudden, painless visual loss. Some may have a previous history of transient visual loss (amaurosis fugax) before the actual CRAO.
Clinical features
An abnormal pupillary reaction (afferent pupillary defect, APD) can appear within seconds after obstruction of the retinal vascular system. During the first hour or so after the obstruction, the retina may appear normal, but the abnormal pupillary reaction (APD) will be present.
Initially, the superficial retina becomes edematous except for the central retina (foveola). This is typically described as a "cherry-red spot" due to its appearance. In general, the opacification resolves within 4 to 6 weeks, often leaving a pale optic nerve. Acutely, the retinal arteries are usually thinned. In severe cases, segmentation or "boxcarring" of the blood column can be seen in both the retinal arteries and veins.

Normally, dye should be visible in the veins by around 20 seconds, and there is still no visible dye indicating very poor blood flow. Note the normal retinal coloring just to the right of the nerve and the surrounding whitening of the retina due to swelling (edema).
Emboli (clots) can be seen within the retinal arterial system in about 20% of eyes with CRAO. The most common variant is the refractile yellow cholesterol embolus (Hollenhorst plaque), which is thought to most commonly originate from atherosclerotic disease in the carotid arteries in the neck. However, the central retinal artery itself can have atherosclerotic plaque, and it too may produce emboli. These cholesterol emboli are often small and may not totally obstruct retinal arteries. They may even occur asymptomatically. Calcium emboli are less commonly seen, but tend to be larger and cause more severe obstructions. They usually arise from diseased cardiac valves.
The vision in eyes with central retinal artery obstruction ranges between counting fingers and light perception in 90% of eyes at the time of initial examination. The presence of an embolus is usually associated with poorer acuity. A few patients are unable to even see light.
Approximately 25% of eyes with a CRAO also have sparing of part of the macular (central) retina. This is due to the presence of a cilioretinal artery. These arteries are usually derived from a different (choroidal) circulation so they are not affected by the retinal artery occlusion. When a cilioretinal artery spares the central retina, the vision may be initially poor, but over a period of weeks improves to 20/50 or better in over 80% of eyes.
Although the incidences of rubeosis iridis and neovascular glaucoma following CRAO have previously been thought to range from 1% to 5%, more recent data suggest that the occurrence of iris neovascularization approaches 15% to 20%. The hypothesis has been advocated that acute central retinal artery obstruction causes rapid inner-layer retinal death, thus preventing the elaboration of an angiogenic factor. However, fluorescein angiographic evidence suggests that the more severe, chronic CRAOs are those that predispose to the development of rubeosis iridis.
Nevertheless, when rubeosis is seen in association with CRAO, the possibility of concomitant ipsilateral carotid artery obstruction should also be considered. Neovascularization of the optic disc or retina, or both, may also occur, although the clinical incidence appears to be lower than that of neovascularization of the iris.
Ancillary Studies
Intravenous fluorescein angiography may reveal a delay in retinal arterial filling, but the most commonly observed fluorescein angiographic sign with CRAO is a delay in arteriovenous transit time (time elapsed from the appearance of dye within the temporal retinal arteries until the major veins in the temporal retinal vascular arcade are completely filled; normal is less than or equal to 11 seconds). Late staining of the optic disc is variable, but staining of the retinal vessels is rare. Complete lack of filling of the retinal arteries is very unusual and probably occurs in less than 2% of cases.
The choroidal vascular bed usually fills normally, although delays of 10 seconds or greater for completed choroidal filling can be seen in about 10% of cases that clinically appear to have CRAO. In the unaffected eye, the choroid begins to fill 1 to 2 seconds before filling of the central retinal artery; it is completelyfilled within 5 seconds of the first observation of dye. Markedly prolonged choroidal filling in the presence of a cherry-red spot should arouse suspicion of ophthalmic or carotid artery obstruction.
It should be remembered that there is a marked propensity for obstructed retinal arteries to reopen with time. Arterial narrowing may persist, but the angiogram with CRAO at varying times after the insult can revert to normal.
Electroretinography characteristically discloses a diminution of the b wave as a result of inner-layer retinal ischemia. The a-wave, which corresponds to photoreceptor function, is generally unaffected. In some cases the study may be normal in the presence of decreased vision, possibly because of the reestablishment of blood flow.
Visual field studies after CRAO commonly demonstrate a remaining temporal island of vision. In the presence of a patent cilioretinal artery, small areas of central field are preserved. Depending upon the degree and extent of obstruction, varied portions of the peripheral field may remain.
Systemic Associations and Etiology
In many instances, it is clinically difficult to ascertain the exact pathophysiologic mechanism(s) responsible for the obstruction. Those that probably account for most cases include emboli, intraluminal thrombosis, hemorrhage under an atherosclerotic plaque, vasculitis, spasm, circulatory collapse, dissecting aneurysm, and hypertensive arteriolar necrosis.
A consideration of the causes of CRAO is intimately related to the associated systemic abnormalities. Systemic arterial hypertension is present in about two thirds of persons with CRAO, and diabetes mellitus in approximately 25%. Cardiac valvular disease is also present in about one fourth. Carotid atherosclerosis, in the form of an ipsilateral stenosis or plaque, is seen in 45% of cases; in about 20% of patients the stenosis is 60% or greater.
Systemic and ocular abnormalities that have been associated with retinal arterial obstruction are listed as follows:
- Arterial hypertension (via atherosclerotic plaque formation)
- Carotid atherosclerosis
- Cardiac valvular disease
- Rheumatic
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Mural thrombus after myocardial infarction
- Cardiac myxoma
- Tumors
- Intravenous drug abuse
- Lipid emboli
- Pancreatitis
- Purtscher's retinopathy (trauma)
- Loiasis
- Radiologic studies
- Carotid angiography
- Lymphangiography
- Hysterosalpingography
- Head and neck corticosteroid injection
- Retrobulbar corticosteroids
- Trauma (via compression, spasm, or direct vessel damage)
- Retrobulbar injection
- Orbital fracture repair
- Anesthesia
- Penetrating injury
- Drug- or alcohol-induced stupor
- Coagulopathies
- Sickle cell disease
- Homocystinuria
- Oral contraceptives
- Platelet and factor abnormalities
- Pregnancy
- Ocular conditions associated with retinal arterial obstruction
- Prepapillary arterial loops
- Optic disc drusen
- Increased intraocular pressure (with sickling hemoglobinopathy)
- Collagen-vascular diseases
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Polyarteritis nodosa
- Giant cell arteritis
- Other associations
- Ventriculography
- Fabry's disease
- Sydenham's chorea
- Migraine
- Hypotension
- Fibromuscular hyperplasia
- Optic neuritis
- Orbital mucormycosis
Each of these may affect the retinal vasculature. The site of the pathologic process determines whether the obstruction will be a CRAO, a branch retinal artery obstruction, a cilioretinal artery obstruction, an ophthalmic artery obstruction, or a cotton-wool spot. In some instances there is overlap between the mechanisms for an accompanying disease entity. It must also be noted that the list may well not be complete.
The causes of retinal arterial obstruction in children and in adults under the age of 30 years are often quite different from those in older adults. Although carotid artery atherosclerosis can be seen in the thirties, it is extremely unusual for it to cause retinal arterial obstruction before this age. Entities in this group that are more commonly associated with arterial obstructive disease include migraine, coagulation abnormalities, trauma, cardiac disorders, sickling hemoglobinopathies, and ocular anomalies such as optic nerve drusen and prepapillary arterial loops.
The finding of a retinal arterial obstruction merits a complete systemic workup to look for etiologic factors. Associated systemic abnormalities can be found in approximately 90% of patients.
Long-term survival appears to be decreased in persons with CRAO; this probably also applies to persons with retinal branch artery obstruction and ophthalmic artery obstruction. Lorentzen found a survival time of 5.5 years in people with CRAO, as compared with an expected survival of 15.4 years in an age-matched population.
At the same time that ocular therapy is given, a systemic workup should be initiated to look for the cause of the CRAO. Unfortunately, a satisfactory treatment regimen for improving vision in eyes with CRAO is lacking. Numerous therapeutic modalities have been attempted, but none has proved particularly efficacious as of this writing. In addition, since many eyes are given some form of therapy, the natural history concerning vision is not clearly defined.
Anterior chamber paracentesis has been advocated when the CRAO is less than 24 hours old. Although irreversible retinal damage has been shown to occur after 90 to 100 minutes of complete CRAO in the subhuman primate model, such total obstruction is generally not seen clinically in humans. Augsburger and Magargal noted at least a three-line improvement in vision in 35% of eyes at 1 month after the acute event, when a paracentesis was performed early. This maneuver produces a sudden decrease in intraocular pressure, with the hope that the perfusion pressure behind the obstruction will push on an obstructing embolus. The technique can be performed at the slit lamp with topical cocaine anesthesia, and 0.1 to 0.4 mL of aqueous is removed with a 25-gauge or smaller needle. Intravenous acetazolamide may also be used to induce a relatively rapid decrease in intraocular pressure.
Ocular massage may be attempted via in-and-out movement with a Goldmann contact lens or digital pressure. Repeated pressure for 10 to 15 seconds, followed by a sudden release, has been recommended. The technique may produce retinal arterial dilation, with the hope of improving perfusion. Russell was able to demonstrate a 16% increase in retinal arterial diameter, probably secondary to autoregulation, when the intraocular pressure was raised to 60 mmHg. When a sudden increase in intraocular pressure was followed by a sudden drop, Fytche and associates showed an 86% increase in volume of flow.
The use of an oxygen-carbon dioxide mixture (95% O2, 5% CO2) has been applied systemically in some cases. Despite the fact that higher oxygen concentration may lead to retinal arterial vasoconstriction, it has been demonstrated that inspiration of 100% O2 can produce a normal partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) at the retinal surface via diffusion from the choroid in the face of CRAO; clinically the visual function may also improve. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is a retinal vasodilator that can produce increased blood flow. The rationale for using both together is readily apparent.
Other modalities that have been applied include retrobulbar injection of vasodilators, such as papaverine and tolazoline, or systemic administration of these drugs. A possible pitfall with retrobulbar injection is the inducement of a retrobulbar hemorrhage, which could further compromise retinal arterial flow. Watson has described a technique of injecting fibrinolytic agents through the supraorbital artery and has demonstrated some improvement in about half of the eyes with CRAO in his series. The technique theoretically delivers over 100 times the concentration of an agent to the central retinal artery that could be obtained via an intravenous injection of the same dose. Systemic anticoagulants are generally not employed for treatment of CRAO.
In our institution, giant cell arteritis accounts for about 2% of cases of CRAO. Despite this low figure, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate should be obtained to screen for the disease in each case involving an elderly patient in whom emboli are not readily apparent. If the disease is suspected, aggressive corticosteroid therapy should be undertaken, since we have seen the second eye become involved within hours.
Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion
Ophthalmoscopically, a branch retinal artery obstruction appears as an area of superficial retinal whitening,most prominent in the posterior pole, along the distribution of the blocked vessel. Regions of more intense whitening are often seen at the boundaries of the ischemic retina. These probably occur secondary to blockage of axoplasmic flow in the nerve fiber layer as it reaches the hypoxic retina.
|Fundus photographs and early angiogram of a patient with a branch retinal artery occlusion. Note the yellow plaque in the artery over the optic nerve which blocks the dye from entering the eye.
Approximately 57% of retinal arterial obstructions involve the central retinal artery, whereas branch retinal arteries account for 38% and cilioretinal artery obstructions represent 5% of the total. Well over 90% of branch retinal artery obstructions involve the temporal retinal vessels. It is uncertain whether the temporal arteries are more commonly affected, or if nasal branch artery obstructions are generally asymptomatic.
The visual acuity prognosis with branch retinal artery obstruction is generally quite good. About 80% of eyes eventually improve to 20/40 or better, although residual field defects generally remain.
Neovascularization of the iris secondary to branch artery obstruction is probably extremely rare. Occasionally, neovascularization of the retina may develop after branch artery obstruction, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus. Artery-to-artery collateral vessels may develop in the retina and are almost pathognomonic for previous branch artery obstruction.
Since the causes are similar, the workup for patients with branch retinal artery obstruction is the same as that for those with CRAO. Because the visual prognosis is much better than with CRAO, ocular therapeutic measures are generally not undertaken unless most of the perifoveolar capillaries are involved.
Cilioretinal Artery Occlusion
Cilioretinal arteries usually enter on the temporal aspect of the optic disc, separately from the retinal arterial system. With fluorescein angiography, they can be detected in about 32% of eyes. They usually fill concomitantly with the choroidal circulation, 1 to 2 seconds before the appearance of dye within the retinal arterial system.
Cilioretinal artery obstructions appear as areas of superficial retinal whitening along the distribution of these vessels. Three clinical variants can be seen: (1) isolated cilioretinal artery obstruction, (2) cilioretinal artery obstruction with central retinal vein obstruction, and (3) cilioretinal artery obstruction with ischemic optic neuropathy.
Isolated cilioretinal artery obstruction generally has a good visual prognosis. Ninety percent of affected eyes improve to 20/40 or better vision, while 60% return to 20/20. This variety accounts for over 40% of cases of cilioretinal artery obstruction.
Cilioretinal artery obstruction with central retinal vein obstruction occurs with the same frequency as does isolated cilioretinal artery obstruction and also constitutes just over 40% of the total group. The venous obstructions are generally nonischemic and usually do not lead to neovascular glaucoma. Vision loss is determined more by the venous component than by the cilioretinal artery obstruction. Seventy percent of eyes eventually achieve 20/40 vision or better. The reasons for this association are uncertain. It is possible that optic disc swelling resulting from the venous obstructive disease, reduced cilioretinal perfusion pressure, or both, may lead to the arterial compromise.
In contrast to the first two groups, vision is generally poor (20/400 to no light perception) in eyes with ischemic optic neuropathy and cilioretinal artery obstruction; the degree of involvement by optic neuropathy appears to be the main determinant of vision. Since both abnormalities are manifestations of posterior ciliary artery insufficiency, it is not surprising that they may occur concurrently. This variant makes up about 15% of the total group of cilioretinal artery obstructions.
The systemic workup for cilioretinal artery obstruction is the same as that for CRAO. Ocular therapeutic measures are generally not undertaken for isolated cilioretinal artery obstruction or cilioretinal artery obstruction in association with central retinal vein obstruction, since treatment is not particularly effective and the natural course of the disease is relatively good. For cases associated with ischemic optic neuropathy, the possibility of underlying giant cell arteritis should be considered and ruled out via erythrocyte sedimentation rate and by temporal artery biopsy in some cases.
Ophthalmic Artery Occlusion
Approximately 5% of patients with what appears to be a CRAO have, in reality, an acute ophthalmic artery obstruction. A number of clinical features and ancillary studies that help to differentiate between the two are listed. In most instances it is difficult to tell whether the ophthalmic artery itself is obstructed or if there are, instead, separate, but simultaneous, obstructions of the retinal and posterior ciliary circulations.
The history with acute ophthalmic artery obstruction is generally one of abrupt visual loss. Although the visual acuity is usually no light perception, exceptions may occur. We have seen one man with ophthalmic artery obstruction in whom the vision improved from light perception to 20/30 over a several-day period, presumably because of amelioration of the obstructing insult.
Examination of the anterior segment is generally unremarkable with acute ophthalmic artery obstruction. Despite the marked ocular ischemia, rubeosis iridis has not been noted after this entity, although only a limited number of cases have been reported. Acutely, the intraocular pressure averages approximately 4 mmHg lower on the affected side, but the same phenomenon can also be seen with CRAO alone.
Funduscopy generally reveals intense retinal opacification, resulting from inner and outer retinal ischemia, that may extend beyond the posterior pole. A cherry-red spot is absent, because of choroidal compromise and probable retinal pigment epithelial or choroidal opacification, or both, in about 40% of eyes. In the remainder, some degree of a cherry-red spot can be seen. It is presumed that the choroidal hypoperfusion may have improved or been insufficient to produce an acute infarction of the retinal pigment epithelium and outer retina in these instances. A cherry-red spot may be initially absent, but then appear over a several-day period as choroidal perfusion improves.
Over a period of weeks the retinal whitening resolves, and changes develop in the retinal pigment epithelium as a result of choroidal vascular compromise. This pigmentary disturbance is not seen after central retinal artery obstruction alone. Severe optic atrophy usually also ensues.
Fluorescein angiography reveals impairment of retinal vascular and choroidal flows. Staining at the retinal pigment epithelial level may also be seen. Since both the inner and outer retinal layers are ischemic, electroretinography usually discloses a corresponding diminution or absence of the b and a waves.
The causes of acute ophthalmic artery obstruction are generally similar to those seen with CRAO (see outline above). Two unusual causes that can be seen are orbital mucormycosis, which induces a vasculitis within the ophthalmic artery, and inadvertent retrobulbar injection into optic foramen. Ocular treatment is generally ineffective for this entity, and the visual prognosis is usually grim.
Combined Central Retinal Artery and Vein Occlusion
Richards has nicely elucidated the entity of combined obstructions of the central retinal artery and central retinal vein. Persons having this condition usually present with acute visual loss and have fundus features suggestive of both types of obstruction. The retina in the posterior pole demonstrates superficial retinal opacification with a cherry-red spot, while the optic disc is swollen and numerous intraretinal hemorrhages are present. The retinal veins may also be engorged.
The visual prognosis is generally extremely poor in these eyes, but occasionally spontaneous improvement can be seen. One third or more of affected eyes progress to rubeosis iridis and neovascular glaucoma.
Systemic workup should include an evaluation for those abnormalities associated with acute CRAO. Retrobulbar injection has been noted to cause combined central retinal artery and vein obstruction, presumably as a result of injection within the optic nerve sheath or direct damage to the central retinal artery and vein.

Raymond enlisted June 25, 1952 and reported to Camp Crowder, Missouri for induction before being sent to Camp Chaffee, ARK for training.
He was trained at artillery school ( Camp Chaffee) and assigned to 'C' Battery, 176th Armored Field Artillery(AFA) Battalion, 5th Artillery Group, 8th Army, Korea (in late 1952) operating a 155mm Howitzer M41 (motorized).
Because there were no Artillery Divisions deployed to Korea, following the movements of the 176th AFA Battalion has proven difficult to date because battalion level records are harder to obtain than larger unit (parent units) records.
In January 1954, near the end of his enlistment Raymond was rotated out of Korea (ahead of his unit) to Camp Carson Colorado (reassignment Center) where he was reassigned to Ft. Riley, Kansas until his discharge in July of 1954.

text: Researchers create wire just four atoms thick Science 06 January 12 by Olivia Solon University of New South Wales A team of Australian quantum computation researchers have developed the smallest ever wires made out of phosphorus atoms in silicon -- just one atom high and four atoms wide. That's 10,000 times thinner than a human hair.The wires -- created by researchers from the University of New South Wales, Melbourne University and Purdue University -- have the same current-carrying capability as copper wires. Experiments have shown the wires maintain low capacity for resistance despite being 20 times thinner than conventional copper wires used on microprocessors.The wires could help pave the way towards future nanoscale computational devices. "We are on the threshold of making transistors out of individual atoms. But to build a practical quantum computer we have recognised that the interconnecting wiring and circuitry will also need to shrink to the atomic scale," explained Michelle Simmons, director of the Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology at the University of New South Wales.The wires also demonstrate that Ohm's Law -- which demonstrates the relationship between electrical current, resistance and voltage -- continues to apply down to the atomic scale.Bent Weber, lead author of the paper which appears inScience, explains: "It's extraordinary to show that Ohm's Law, such a basic law, still holds even when constructing a wire from the fundamental building blocks of nature - atoms,"The team opted to build the circuits atom by atom instead of stripping away material -- the technique currently used to build microprocessors. "Typically we chip or etch material away, which can be very expensive, difficult and inaccurate," says Gerhard Klimeck, Purdue professor of electrical and computer engineering.He added: "Once you get to 20 atoms wide you have atomic fluctuations that make scaling difficult. But this experimental group built devices by placing atomically thin layers of phosphorus in silicon and found that with densely doped phosphorus wires just four atoms wide it acts like a wire that conducts just as well as metal."Klimeck's team ran hundreds of simulations to study the variability of the nanoscale structures to see if the production process could be scalable.Check out this fantastic video explaining the research below: Comments However, we can often observe that for the silicon-based transisitors this separation cannot be less than 50nm to avoid this cross-talk effect. It's connected to so-called doping distance and such distance can be larger, than the scope of quantum effects. Every embedded phosphorus atom induces stress of silicon lattice and its higher electrochemical potential decreases the binding force of electrons in the wide area around it. After all, this effect just explains, why small number of dopant atoms can influence the conductivity of bulk material in so pronounced way. Therefore, the placing of phosphorus atoms at the one-atom wide path doesn't mean, the current does flow through one atom wide path beneath them and we could achieve higher density of transistor integration so easily. Not to say about practical quantum computer, because this research just demonstrated the absence of quantum effects in conductivity.

Eateries to support USA men's water polo team
The excitement of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games is coming to Moorpark.
On Saturday, several restaurants will contribute a portion of their receipts to help raise funds for the Men's Olympic water polo team, which is training daily in Thousand Oaks.
Participating restaurants include McDonald's, Panda Express, Baja Fresh, Camille's Sidewalk Café, Cuppy's Coffee, The Grinder, Juice It Up, Lalo's, Lamppost Pizza, Red Brick Pizza, Romio Pizza & Pasta, West Coast Pizza, Quiznos, Subway, Two Guys From Italy and many others.
"We're encouraging people to pick up a flier at any of these restaurants as well as Ralph's and Vons, and then present it when making a purchase at the restaurants," said Moorpark's Heidi Katz, a volunteer coordinating the event.
The entire water polo team will appear from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday at Cold Stone Creamery in the new Moorpark Marketplace at 754 W. Los Angeles Ave. They'll be scooping ice cream for customers and singing songs for tips.
"USA men's water polo is the only Olympic team training in California, and we're lucky to have them here in our area," said local resident Bob Mazza, who is leading a portion of the sponsorship and publicity efforts for the team.
All of the players have international experience and come from major water polo college programs at USC, UCLA, Pepperdine, UC Berkeley, Stanford University, UCSB and UC Irvine.
It will be an evening for the entire family, with live entertainment and balloons for the kids and official USA Water Polo team T-shirts for sale.
Tickets may also be purchased for a private team barbecue, set for May 30 at a private estate in Camarillo.
Team USA is slated to play an exhibition game against Croatia on May 31 at Oaks Christian High School in Thousand Oaks. Croatia is ranked the No. 1 team in the world. MSNBC will tape the game.
Team USA will play exhibition games June 8 vs. Australia at Dos Pueblos High in Santa Barbara and June 10 vs. Australia at Cal Lutheran. Tickets are available by logging onto http://www.mwpolo.com or http://www.usawaterpolo.org.
"Our team has some major challenges ahead as we prepare for the Summer Olympics, so we're working hard," said Coach Terry Schroeder. "We're gaining experience every day."

- Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd: 548 minutes, 113.7 offensive rating, 103.6 defensive rating.
- Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni: 25 minutes, 129.7 offensive rating, 101.7 defensive rating.
- Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni: 108 minutes, 113.8 offensive rating, 109.8 defensive rating.
The Knicks have three point guards on their roster, and so far this season, they have excelled when they play two of the three on the floor together, as you can see from the numbers above.
When Raymond Felton went down with his third hand injury that put him into street clothes, the team began to back away from two point guard lineups. For most of the season, the duo of Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd started games, which led both players to excel. Felton was driving and finding Chandler on the pick-and-roll alley-oop, while Kidd waited out around the three-point line, whether to knock down an open jumper, if the ball was swung to him, or to facilitate ball movement.
As the Knicks have veered away from two-point guard lineups, Jason Kidd's turnover rate has gone up, as he's holding onto the ball much more than a 39-year-old point guard should, and isn't quick enough off the pick-and-roll to lead opposing defenders away from Tyson Chandler.
Even though the Knicks have just two points guards remaining, they can still play them together at times, getting back to the type of play that helped them jump out to such a hot start this season, especially on offense.
As of late, the Knicks' defense has been pretty bad: 106 points for Sacramento and Orlando, 105 for Portland, just to name a few. In these recent contests, it has been more common to see the Knicks' opponent in triple digits than to see them. And, as you can see from the statistics above, when playing with two point guards, while the defense isn't superb, allowing 100+ points per 100 possessions, the offense more than compensates for it.
So, with the Knicks' recent struggles on both ends of the floor, I think the Knicks should deploy Kidd and Prigioni together much more, as the offense picks up drastically, while the defense doesn't get much worse than it already is.

I really think Google Glass is an extremely promising step toward a transition to wearable tech. I can envision using it for things such as cooking, reading, music, and more. I did expect it to have a longer battery life, however I'm sure that will be improved upon in further releases and additions such as solar recharging may be an option. It is important to recognize that it is still in beta testing, so functions such as replying to emails, new Glassware, and other additional features will be added as the product becomes more available and matured. I expected it to be able to integrate with personal assistant features such as Siri (Apple) and S-Voice (Samsung), as well as increased google now functionality. I think cross-platform functionality is a must if it wants to stay relevant and popular. I really like the concept of indoor maps for situation such as navigating through a store or museum. I am extremely excited to see what innovations Google Glass and other wearable tech brings in the future!
Also, I would love to win the giveaway. I am a developer and have many exciting ideas for new Glassware applications, however all I need is a unit to test them on. I would be honored if you chose me to be the winner of your Google Glass Giveaway.
Not sure people who wear glasses can use it or not. It seems to be a wonderful product but only if you can find a good need of it. For me, I can think of using it when driving as a gps or when visiting a foreign country as a tour guide.
Yes I found and would love to get google glass
That's cool

KTM's Mike Lafferty claimed his third victory of the season at round seven of the AMA/Rekluse National Enduro series, the Rock Pile National, in Cascade, Montana, on June 28. Finishing second was California rider Jordan Brandt on a KTM 300XC, and third went to series leader Russell Bobbitt.
Fresh of his win at the previous round in Wyoming, Bobbitt suffered a few problems early on which cost him a shot at the overall.
Fourth place went to Husaberg-mounted Nick Fahringer, while Texan Cole Kirkpatrick rode his KTM to a fifth-place finish. Kirkpatrick finished one second behind Fahringer and led Bobbitt for most of the day, until final test.
"I liked this race," Lafferty said. "I'm back on the 400 now and we had it set up good. It's nice when you win one."
Bobbitt crashed early in the race and it took him some time to get going. He played catch up most of the day.
"I lost the bike in a corner and ended upside down under the bike," Bobbitt said. "It took me little bit to get going; then it seemed I was behind all day."
Brandt said, "I was on a two-stroke for the first time in a few years, and the 300 was awesome. I love the rocks, and the terrain here was great."

Danske Bank MacRory Cup play-off
St Michael's Enniskillen 1-7 St Mary's Magherafelt 0-9
The Enniskillen lads with a totally new team to that which won the coveted trophy last March have shown improved form in two narrow defeats prior to this game and continued in a similar vein on Friday.
A Jack McCann goal edged them in front early on and it was to prove the decisive score of the game.
St. Michael's led by four at the break with Lee Brennan weighing in with a couple of points.
Magherafelt closed the gap in the second half but Brennan and Daire Gallagher ensured St. Michael's kept their noses in front and the final whistle booked their place in the knock-out stages after Christmas.
The draw for that takes place in just over two weeks and Dom Corrigan will no doubt be keen to get more improvement from his charges in the weeks to come.
Full report and reaction to his win in Thursday's Impartial Reporter.

1888-09-25 (148lbs) Alec Roberts drew 53 (finish) Arthur Bobbett, Paradise Street School of Arms, Lambeth, London, England
1888-09-25 (148lbs) Alec Roberts drew 53 (finish) Arthur Bobbett, Paradise Street School of Arms, Lambeth, London, England. Referee Bernard J. Angle. Later given as a 148lbs English title defence by Roberts (147½), the bout was declared to be a draw with 15 seconds of the 53rd round still remaining. At that point, both men were out on their feet with nothing between them. There had only been two knockdowns, neither being of note, with Roberts generally the aggressor, using both hands well to head and body, while Bobbett showed himself defensively adept, especially when making his man miss. In the 50th it was clear that Roberts was suffering from cramp, and with Bobbett standing his ground despite his right hand being of little use the fight almost fizzled out, which ultimately led to the referee's decision.
This was the final bout of Roberts' career and he passed away on 5 October 1899, aged 39, of acute pneumonia.
On 14 October, Jack Hickey challenged all England at weights between 148 and 154lbs, but his career was over by the following year after he was charged with manslaughter.

Foote Gate crash victim identified
HPD: Speeding caused deadly Schofield Barracks crash
The medical examiner's office has identified the man who died in a crash at Schofield Barracks' Foote Gate Tuesday as 38-year-old Michael John Daraban Jr. of Wahiawa.
Just after 7 a.m., a dark gray Honda came racing down Kunia Road headed toward Ewa, according to police.
"The Honda was traveling at a high rate of speed on Kunia," said Lt. Bobby Towne of the Honolulu Police Department Traffic Division.
According to witnesses at the intersection of Foote Avenue, a woman driving a white Toyota Camry had the green light to turn into Schofield Barracks.
When she did, the Honda ran the red light and clipped the front of her car.
"Even after the initial collision, the black Honda was still going fast enough that when it hit the light pole, it was cut in half," said Towne.
The force of the impact spread glass, debris and car parts for 100 feet. The severed halves of the car came to a rest nearby. At the base of the intersection's light pole, lay the body of a 38-year-old man.
"The passenger of the Honda was ejected and expired at the scene," said Towne.
For several hours, police closed the southbound lanes of Kunia Road while investigators recovered clues to the crash.
After the crash, police said they had served a warrant for the owner of the car which was for a drug search.
Daraban has several criminal warrants in his past including drugs and abuse of a family member.
The drivers of both cars were seriously hurt.

That's not what I meant. If it's sometimes focusing, then that probably means that there isn't enough light, or your trying to focus on something with no detail. Use the center focus point, because it can focus on both horizontal and vertical detail. If your in a dark place, raise the flash so that it can fire an af-assist beam.

What does one gain by handing over any of the above to electronics? In my opinion, nothing whatsoever. And one stands to lose a lot, as evidenced by your N55 experience.
Get a mechanical camera. They're cheap and plentiful on the used market, vastly higher in materials and build quality, and do the camera's job so close to perfectly that it's not worth worrying about their individual flaws and drawbacks. If you still want a Nikon after your N55 problems try an FM2N.
Well said.

July 2007
Volume II, Number 2
Klein's Korner Column: Police Recording of Jail Telephone Calls, or "Hello, I Must Be Going"
Charges that are related to the use of drugs, including 1) the possession or use of drugs and drug paraphernalia, 2) failure to register as a drug offender, and 3) "any similar activities."
Penal Code Section 1210(d)
Individuals are excluded if convicted of possession for sale, or manufacturing any controlled substance, or transportation for non-personal use.
The burden is on the defendant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the transported drugs were for his own use.
Misdemeanor charges that are not related to the use of drugs.
The prospective-only provision of Proposition 36 is unconstitutional (this holding is questionable).
A defendant is "sentenced" before July 1, 2001, even if his case is still pending on appeal after July 1, 2001.
If the defendant is an illegal alien who had previously been deported and is likely to again be deported, Proposition 36 may be denied since he would not complete the required drug treatment program.
A defendant on felony probation for a violent offense may have his probation revoked and be sent to state prison based on a new drug-related conviction.
An individual who has a parole hold while at the time of conviction of a new drug possession offense may still be granted Proposition 36 as the defendant had not been committed to state prison on different offenses.
A minor in juvenile court may be denied Proposition 36 treatment even though an adult convicted of the same charges in adult court may be granted Proposition 36.
1) Defendant has at least one prior strike conviction, unless the defendant has remained free of prison custody for the past five years and has not committed any felony other than a nonviolent drug possession offense or any misdemeanor involving physical injury or the threat of physical injury to another person;
The five-year washout period begins when the defendant committed the prior disqualifying felony, not when he was convicted of that felony.
Driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher, in violation of Vehicle Code section 23152(b), is an offense involving the threat of physical injury to another person.
A juvenile sustained petition, for an offense that would be a strike if convicted as an adult, is not a conviction for purposes of Proposition 36 eligibility.
The court has no authority to "strike a strike" to make the defendant eligible for Proposition 36. Dismissal of the prior strike allegation cannot make an otherwise ineligible defendant become eligible for Proposition 36.
The "five-year washout period" means the five years immediately preceding the current drug offense.
2) A defendant who is convicted in the same proceeding of any felony or misdemeanor not related to the use of drugs;
The court has the authority to dismiss a non-drug offense and allow the defendant to participate in Proposition 36 for the remaining drug offense.
If the prosecutor dismisses a charge that would have otherwise made the defendant ineligible for Proposition 36 on the remaining drug charge, the defendant is not entitled to Proposition 36 upon a violation of probation.
Being convicted of stealing drugs as well as possession of drugs will not exclude a defendant from Proposition 36 if the purpose of the theft was to obtain narcotics.
Forging prescriptions in order to obtain controlled substance will exclude someone from Proposition 36 as it involves more than using, possessing, or transporting a controlled substance for personal use.
3) Defendants who use a firearm while possessing or being under the influence or cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, or PCP;
4) Defendants who refuse drug treatment as a condition of a grant of probation;
If the defendant, by his unequivocal conduct, indicates that he will not participate in a drug treatment program, Proposition 36 probation may be denied.
Required: Penal Code Section 1210.1(a)–participation in and completion of a drug treatment program up to 12 months long;
Discretionary: Penal Code Section 1210.1(c)(3)–up to six months additional aftercare treatment; Section 1210.1(a)–vocational training, literacy training or community service.
The court may impose a condition of probation that the defendant waive any custody credits for time spent in a residential drug treatment program.
Not Permitted: Penal Code Section 1210.1(a)–custody in a jail or state prison; Section 1210(b)–participation in a treatment program that is offered in a jail or state prison.
A drug-related condition of probation includes a probationer's specific drug treatment regimen, employment, vocational training, educational programs, psychological counseling, and family counseling.
First Violation: Penal Code Section 1210.1(e)(3)(A)--probation shall be revoked if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant poses a danger to the safety of others.
The defendant may present a medical marijuana defense at a probation violation hearing.
Second Violation: Penal Code Section 1210.1(e)(3)(B)–probation shall be revoked if it is established by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant poses a danger to others or that the defendant is unamenable to drug treatment.
Penal Code Section 1210.1(e)(2)(A)(B)–if probation is not revoked, the court may modify or intensify the treatment that the defendant is receiving.
The judge, not the defendant, determines the appropriate treatment and the judge must consider factors in aggravation and mitigation in revoking probation and sentencing the defendant to state prison.
Failure to report to a representative of the Probation or Mental Health Departments to locate an appropriate treatment program for the defendant is a drug-related violation.
Separate and distinct motions to revoke probation, filed by the People, may be heard in one violation hearing.
Third Violation: Penal Code Section 1210.1(e)(3)(C)–probation shall be revoked and Proposition 36 is to be terminated if the violation is proved by a preponderance of the evidence. If probation is revoked, the defendant may be sentenced under available statutory law.
Probation may be revoked if the alleged violation is proved by clear and convincing evidence.
The State has the burden of proof as to whether the violation is non-drug related.
A supplemental probation report should be ordered prior to sentencing the defendant unless there is a recent (less than six months old) report that can be incorporated.
The defendant is entitled to credit against any sentence for any time spent in residential treatment as a condition of Proposition 36 probation.
Merely completing the program does not require a dismissal if there is reasonable cause to believe the defendant will abuse controlled substances in the future.

What Can We Do to Stop Global Warming? ~ Erin Emanuel
What is Global Warming?
Global Warming occurs when greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide (CO2) are released into the earth's atmosphere. Unfortunately, they become trapped around the earth like a blanket, therefore warming the planet and causing the climate and ocean temperatures to rise. Over the past 50 years, temperatures have risen at the highest rate in history.
What are the effects of Global Warming?
Global warming has caused numerous effects on the earth's climate. It not only endangers the environments, but it also poses a threat to species.
Here is a list of some of Global Warming's effects:
- Rising of sea levels: A rise in temperature cause polar ice caps and glaciers to melt, which can cause a rise in sea levels and warmer waters.
- Spreading of diseases: Diseases like malaria, cholera and dengue fever are climate sensitive. Therefore, a rise in temperature can increase the chances of infections and transmissions of these diseases.
- Droughts: Global warming will cause a further rise in temperature of already warm climates, consequently resulting in droughts.
- Destruction of ecosystems: As earth's temperature rises, animals living in the colder parts of the world will begin to experience warmer weather. This will likely cause the animal life to shrink as they struggle to migrate or adapt. Either way, the ecosystem will change.
How can we prevent Global Warming?
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Reduce garbage by choosing reusable products. If it's something that can't be reused, try to purchase products with minimum packaging. Recycle paper, plastic, glass, newspaper and aluminum.
- Drive smart: Save gas, as well as the release of emissions, by walking more. Remember, by saving a gallon of gas you can help keep 20 pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere.
- Plant a tree: Plants absorb CO2 and produce oxygen. Planting a tree can help balance the increases of CO2.
- Eat green: How much of the food in your grocery store is imported from across the world? Transportation is a major contributor of greenhouse gases. Eat locally grown food to reduce transportation emissions.
- Use less heat and air conditioning: Use less air conditioning and heat; even keeping your house 2 degrees lower in winter or 2 degrees higher in summer can make a big difference.
- Save electricity: Turn off the lights, television, computer and any other electrical device when not in use. Turn off the water when you are not using it, (like while brushing your teeth.)
- Use less hot water: Simple social fixes like setting your water heater at 120 degrees, using low flow shower heads, washing your clothes in cold water or using the energy saving setting on your dishwasher can go a long way.
- Inform others: Inform family, friends and coworkers about how they can reduce their carbon footprint by following the tips above.

The Advanced Technology Demonstration Program seeks to support late-stage, pre-acquisition research and development projects that target a gap in the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture or in national technical nuclear forensics. These are projects that are not likely to be filled by others in the near term and have successfully completed an Exploratory Research Program or an equivalent demonstration.
Through this program, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, Transformational and Applied Research Directorate has a goal of developing and characterizing a Performance Test Unit capable of providing reliably scalable performance measurements in a challenging and realistic, albeit simulated, operational environment. Success is measured by having a sufficient understanding of the technology performance/potential to inform a cost-benefit analysis for the transition of a Performance Test Unit technology to a government acquisition program or to a commercial system for development.
Vendors are solicited annually through Broad Agency Announcements / Call for Proposals and are open to industry (including small businesses), national and government laboratories, and universities. They usually start with a voluntary white paper before full proposals are submitted. Annual solicitations tend to be issued in the spring timeframe, but may vary.
The Transformational and Applied Research Directorate anticipates starting a new project each year, which will typically have two to three vendors developing a system for characterization.

Loans & exchanges
Botanists are able to examine a much wider range of plant specimens than is available in their own herbarium through a national and international network of specimen loans and exchanges. All specimens being sent out on loan from our Herbarium are mounted, information on the label entered into the Herbarium Collection database, and given a unique barcode.
Our computerised Loans Management System allows documentation and monitoring of outgoing loans. Where appropriate the receiving institution is provided with a copy of the electronic label information for use in research and so that an updated list of identifications can be returned with the loan.
Duplicate material is sent as exchange specimens to other institutions, both in Australia and overseas. In return NSW receives exchange specimens from these institutions. A new development means that label information can now be sent electronically to the receiving institution for incorporation into their database.
View our conditions of loan & exchange.
NSW Exchange Program
Replicate material of plant collections is donated to other institutions throughout the world. In return, NSW receives exchange specimens from these organisations. The exchange of material enables herbaria to have a broad diversity of species as reference material for comparison and future study.
All herbarium label information for exchange specimens are sent electronically to the receiving organisation in HISPID (Herbarium Information Standards and Protocols for Interchange of Data) format. We encourage the full transfer of electronic data with herbarium collections being donated to NSW.
View HISPID Data Interchange Standard
Requests for New Loans
All requests for loan material must be from the head of the borrowing institution.
All loan requests must be addressed to:
Director, Science & Public Programs
Requests for loan material can also be accepted by email to email@example.com.
Loan of all scientific specimens can only occur between registered scientific organisations (refer 'Scientific Transactions under the Wildlife Protection Act - Notice No 5'), under the Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1982.

A revealing, and disturbing account of the unprecedented actions taken by the University of Colorado at Boulder administration, on 4/20 2012; containing actual footage through the perspective of a student who filmed his day, and ultimately was arrested with two other students for peacefully standing on the grass in front of their public university's library. The charges: TRESPASSING. The campus was "shut down" to the public, police checkpoints surrounding/filling campus, police on rooftops, areas taped off, and much much more actions that took the issue beyond marijuana, to one of constitutional-civil liberties. Words cannot encapsulate what this documentary shows happened that day at CU-Boulder.
This pretty much lays it all out, clear as day. A live action, extreme example of what's going on all over this country. I wish the best. Thanks for the scoop.

Sumitomo Chemical
Every 45 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria, a disease caused by a parasite carried by the Anopheles mosquito. Insecticide-treated bednets — nets that are hung from a ceiling over a bed or mat — have been shown to significantly reduce the chances of infection in malaria-prone regions.
Sumitomo Chemical, a maker of highly durable and long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets, has committed to increase local production of bednets in Africa. The company has pledged to open a new factory which is expected to generate 5,000 new jobs and increase the supply of mosquito nets for the region in a cost-effective way by producing up to 15 million bednets per year. Sumitomo Chemical will also explore the possibility of opening sewing and logistics facilities in the neighboring countries, including the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Niger, Benin, Ghana, and Guinea. Over the next five years, this initiative could potentially save 400,000 lives from malaria.
Since making their commitment to the BCtA in 2008, Sumitomo Chemical has expanded production of long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets in Africa. In late 2010, production capacity peaked at just over 30 million nets per year and created more than 8,000 full time jobs in Kisongo, Tanzania. In addition to the expansion in Tanzania, supporting stitching factories were established in Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi creating additional local employment and the related health and economic benefits from employment.

WWE wrestler Tamara Sytch was arrested three times in one week for harassing her boyfriend.
Tamara Sytch, best known as the WWE wrestler and manager Sunny, scored an unprecedented three count: Three arrests in as many days for harassing her boyfriend. Sytch, 39, first went to his Branford, Conn., home and caused trouble on Sept. 11, WFSB-TV reported.
She was arrested, charged with disorderly conduct and warned not to return after she was released on bond.
But Sytch didn't listen. The following day, she went back and was charged with third-degree strangulation and violation of protective order on top of the disorderly conduct charge.
She put her boyfriend in a headlock and pulled his hair, cops said.
She was released again — this time on a $25,000 bond — and went back to her boyfriend's place Sept. 13. This time, she was drunk and broke into his house by climbing through a window.
After another charge for violating a protective order, Sytch was released into the care of her sister, with the promise that she would immediately go to rehab.
The WWE offered to pay for Sytch's treatment under its Former Talent Program.
In a statement, the company said it had covered three of her previous trips to rehab, and "will continue to provide assistance should she want to take advantage of it."Jacked from The NY Daily News

Nine of the most hard-fought battles during the Korean War took place in Yanggu, and the scars of war still remain here. There are two observatories and one tunnel dug by North Korea. The communist regime dug the tunnel in an attempt to infiltrate into South Korea. However, despite such traces of war, Yanggu has become a nature preserve.
Yanggu region lies in a basin surrounded by mountains over 1,000m high, so it naturally became the most hard-fought battlefield of the war, and it is still a very important military zone. These days, two thirds of its population are soldiers. Civilians' access to Yanggu region has been restricted over the last half century. As a result, animals and plants have flourished in this region. When taking this 60km-long tour course, you will witness the wonders of life that emerged from the ashes of war.

Port Vale v Chesterfield: Micky Adams searches for league tonic
Posted: December 07, 2012|
MICKY Adams is out to ease the pain of back-to-back cup defeats by leading his team to the top of League Two.
And the Port Vale boss is relishing a selection headache as he aims to inspire a return to winning ways at home to Chesterfield tomorrow (3pm).
Adams' team could overtake leaders Gillingham if results go their way as they bid to bounce back from losses at Sheffield United in the FA Cup and at home to Bradford in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
"We'll put those cup defeats to one side and remind ourselves of where we are and what has got us there," said Adams.

Micky Adams: Port Vale will recover top form after Chesterfield defeat
"The performance against Bradford wasn't good enough and the players have been left in no doubt about that. it wasn't acceptable.
"But now we have a number of options all over the team and I'm sure you will see a different performance."
A clean bill of health and no suspensions makes a nice change for Adams, but it could cause him a problem.
"I will have to leave some players in the stand," he said.
"We've got a decent squad, we'll utilise it and certain people will be disappointed.
"But there are lots of games over a short period over Christmas and we're going to need those players." because our options can change at any time."
Adams is expecting a tough test against a team who have won their last three league games.
"Chesterfield are on a decent run of form, but let's not forget our own league form, which is good," he said.
"They are a threat, but we won't worry ourselves about their individuals or them as a unit.
"The onus will be on us to entertain and get three points and we'll be trying our best to do so, regardless of the form Chesterfield are in.
"It's important we play our own game, make sure we do the right things at the right time, stick to our game plan and get our own house in order."
