This invention is directed to therapeutic methods and devices for the treatment of glaucoma. In particular, this invention is concerned with the use of a shunt or drain for the treatment of glaucoma. In another aspect this invention is concerned with ocular pressure spike shunts and use of the same in ocular surgery.
The glaucomas are a common group of blinding conditions usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. This elevated pressure in the eye may be regarded as a disorder of the drainage system of the eye which gives rise to the glaucomas.
Aqueous humor of the eye ("aqueous") is a flowing liquid fluid (composed of sodium, chloride, bicarb, amino acids, glucose, ascorbic acid, and water) that is actively secreted by the ciliary body and flows out past the iris into the anterior chamber (are between the lens/iris and the cornea). The aqueous drains out through angle formed by the iris and the sclera into a meshwork call the trabeculum, and from there into the canal of Schlemm and then into the episcleral veins. Uveosclera drainage also occurs. Normal intraocular pressure (IOP) of aqueous in anterior chamber is between 10 and 20 mm Hg. Prolonged IOPs of greater than 21 mm Hg are associated with damage to optic nerve fibers.
In some cases of glaucoma the cause can be found: the trabecular meshwork becomes blocked by pigment or membrane. In other cases, blockage is due to a closure of the angle between the iris and the cornea. This angle type of glaucoma is referred to as "angle-closure glaucoma". In the majority of glaucoma cases, however, called "open angle glaucoma", the cause is unknown.
Elevated intraocular pressure results in the death of retinal ganglion cells (which convey retinal information to the brain) resulting in a characteristic pattern of loss of the field of vision, progressing to tunnel vision and blindness if left untreated.
Treatment of glaucoma consists predominantly of methods to lower the intraocular pressure (pharmacological, trabecular meshwork laser and surgery to drain fluid from the eye). More recently protection of the retinal ganglion cells by neuroprotective agents has been attempted.
Although pharmacological treatments of glaucoma have improved, they have important implications for the patient's quality of life, have compliance issues which are important in the elderly (in whom glaucoma is prevalent), expose the patient of glaucoma to side effects, and over a lifetime are costly.
Surgery for glaucoma treatment is usually a trabeculectomy in which a fistula is created to drain fluid from the anterior chamber to the subconjunctival space near the limbus, creating a bulge in the conjunctiva known as a bleb. Frequently scarring occurs and attempts to counter this with antimetabolites such as Mitomycin C have met with some success. In recalcitrant cases, glaucoma implants, drainage, shunt or valve devices have been developed e.g. Molteno (U.S. Pat. No. 4,457,757), Krupin (U.S. Pat. No. 5,454.746) and Baerveldt (U.S. Pat. No. 5,178,604). These suffer from similar problems of scarring (Classen L, Kivela T, Tarkkanen "A Histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of the filtration bleb after unsuccessful glaucoma seton implantation" Am J Ophthalmol, 1996;122:205-12) around the external opening of the tube devices in the subconjunctival space—the development of a large number of these devices is testament to the fact that many fail in the longer term. In these devices a drainage tube is located in the anterior chamber and is in fluid communication with the sclera or a surgically created subconjunctival space.
Whereas cataract surgery has been revolutionized in the last two decades, improvements in glaucoma surgery have been slower. Antifibrotic agents have improved the success rate of conventional filtration surgery (trabeculectomy), but with increased bleb leaks, blebitis, endophthalmitis and hypotensive maculopathy. Glaucoma shunts have had limited success in eyes that have "failed" multiple standard procedures. However complications with malpositioned tubes, erosion and strabismus persist. A considerable issue is the lack of reproducibility and predictability in achieving the desired target intraocular pressure (IOP). Final IOP is largely determined by healing which can be unpredictable—in view of vast biological variations, it is impossible to predict which eyes will rapidly scar causing failure and which will fail to heal resulting in prolonged post-operative hypotony. Scarring remains a significant problem in all these external drainage proposals, where aqueous drains into the conjunctiva, or surgical chambers in the sciera.
The introduction of a new class of antiglaucoma drugs, the prostaglandin analogues, has resulted in acknowledgment of the importance of the uveoscleral pathway in drainage of fluid form the eye (Hylton C, Robin A L "Update on prostaglandin analogs" Curr Opin Ophthalmol, 2003;14:65-9). Uveoscleral flow where aqueous humor flows through the interstitium of the ciliary muscle into the suprachoroidal space (a potential space between the choroids and sclera) and out through the sclera into the connective tissue of the orbit may account for 54% of outflow young healthy humans (Toris C B, Yablonski M E, Wang Y L, Camras C B "Aqueous humor dynamics in the aging human eye" Am J Ophthalmol, 1999;127:407-12).
Cyclodialysis, the separation of the ciliary body from the scleral spur and underlying sclera, creates free communication between the anterior chamber and the suprachoroidal space and enhances uveoscleral flow. It has long been known that cyclodialysis can cause a profound reduction of intraocular pressure—initially (Fuchs E. "Detachment of the choroid inadvertently during cataract surgery" [German] von Graefes Arch Ophthalmol, 1900;51:199-224) cyclodialysis was recognized as a complication of cataract surgery. Deliberate creation of a cyclodialysis cleft for treating elevated intraocular pressure in uncontrolled glaucoma was first described as a surgical procedure in 1905 (Heine I. "Cyclodialysis, a new glaucoma operation" [German]) Dtsch Med Wochenschr, 1905;31:824-826). Since such clefts can heal and close spontaneously a number of devices have been used to keep them open, including platinum wire, horse hair, magnesium strips, tantalum foil, Supramid�, gelatin film, Teflon�, silicone and polymethylmethacrylate (Rosenberg L F, Krupin T. "Implants in glaucoma surgery" Chaptter 88, The Glaucomas, Ritch R, Shields B M, Krupin T Eds. 2nd Edition Mosby St Louis 1986) and Hema (Mehta K R. "The suprachoroidal Hema wedge in glaucoma surgery" American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting 1977, pp 144). However the success rate of such approaches has been low (as low as 15%, Rosenburg & Krupin ibid and Gross R L, Feldman R M, Spaeth G L, et al "Surgical therapy of chronic glaucoma in aphakia and pseudophakia" Ophthalmology, 1988;95:1195-201). Failure was due to uncontrolled low pressure (hypotony) with consequential macular edema, bleeding (hyphema) and inadequate pressure control.
The device and method of a first aspect of this invention takes advantage of the methods used in cataract surgery to develop a minimally invasive glaucoma procedure—thus small, self sealing incisions and materials that are biocompatible and foldable so that they fit through small openings will reduce surgical trauma and time. The controlled draining of aqueous into the suprachoroidal space according to this invention provides some predictability of outcome and overcomes scarring problems that have plagued glaucoma implants in the past.
The most frequent complication following modern cataract surgery with phacoemulsification, requiring specific treatment is elevated intraocular pressure (Cohen V M, Demetria H, Jordan K, Lamb R J, Vivian A J. :First day post-operative review following uncomplicated phacoemulsification" Eye, 1998;12 ( Pt 4):634-6, and Dinakaran S, Desai S P, Raj P S. "Is the first post-operative day review necessary following uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery?" Eye, 2000 Jun.; 14 ( Pt 3A):364-6). The increase may be marked and typically peaks at 5 to 7 hours before returning to near normal levels in 1 to 3 days (Hildebrand G D, Wickremasinghe S S, Tranos P G, Harris M L, Little B C. "Efficacy of anterior chamber decompression in controlling early intraocular pressure spikes after uneventful phacoemulsification" J Cataract Refract Surg., 2003; 29:1087-92). Such pressure spikes can cause pain and may increase the risk of sight-threatening complications such as retinal vascular occlusion, increases loss of visual field in advanced glaucoma and ischemic optic neuropathy—effects in otherwise healthy eyes are unknown (Hildebrand G D et al, ibid).
A number of prophylactic treatments are used with limited success—these include intracameral carbachol or acetylcholine, topical timolol, dorzolamide, aproclonidine, latanoprost and systemic acetazolamide (see Hildebrand G D et al, ibid). This also exposes the patient to the risk of drug side effects, increased cost and it has been postulated that reducing the flow of aqueous humor post surgery prolongs the residence time of bacteria that frequently (46.3% of cases) contaminate the anterior chamber during surgery (Srinivasan R, Tiroumal S, Kanungo R, Natarajan M K. "Microbial contamination of the anterior chamber during phacoemulsification" J Cataract Refract Surg, 2002; 28:2173-6.). This may increase the risk of endophthalmitis one of the most devastating sequelae of intraocular surgery, since the bacteria are not being "flushed out" of the eye by the normal production of aqueous humour, the secretion of which has been suppressed by the drugs. Another technique is to decompress the anterior chamber by applying pressure to the posterior lip of the paracentesis wound at the appropriate time. This requires surveillance and could increase the risk of infection. Another aspect of this invention hereinafter described overcomes these problems.
According to the present invention there is provided a flexible ocular device for implantation into the eye formed of a biocompatible elastomeric material, foldable to a diameter of 1.5 mm or less, comprising a fluid drainage tube having at one end a foldable plate adapted to locate the device on the inner surface of the sclera in a suprachoroidal space formed by cyclodialysis, said drainage tube opening onto the disc at one end and opening to the anterior chamber when implanted into the eye at its other end, so as to provide aqueous pressure regulation.
Preferably the fluid drainage tube has a diameter selected to provide predetermined resistance to aqueous humor flow, for example a pressure of 10 mm Hg or less. Alternatively said tube contains a valve so as to regulate pressure of the aqueous chamber at a predetermined level, for example, at no less than 10 mm Hg.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention there is provided a method for treating glaucoma which comprises:
providing a flexible ocular device formed of a biocompatible elastomeric material foldable to a diameter of 1.5 mm or less, comprising a fluid drainage tube having at one end a foldable plate adapted to locate the device on the inner surface of the sclera and at its other end being open so as to allow fluid communication through said tube;
forming a small self-sealing incision at the juncture of the cornea and sclera of the eye opening into the anterior chamber;
filling the anterior chamber with a viscoelastic substance;
introducing the foldable ocular device into a suprachoroidal space formed by cyclodialysis via a hollow cannula, wherein said plate locates the device on the inner surface of the sclera in the suprachoroidal space, and said drainage tube is located in the anterior chamber of the eye so as to provide aqueous humor pressure regulation; and
thereafter removing said cannula and viscoelastic material from the eye.
In another aspect there is provided an ocular pressure spike shunt for insertion into an ocular paracentesis incision port following ocular surgery, comprising a flexible fluid transfer tube formed of biocompatible material, preferably biocompatible elastomeric material, so as to allow paracentesis incision closure around said tube, having an inner end and an outer end, a tubular lumen disposed between said inner end and said outer end to allow fluid communication through said tube, said lumen containing a valve for controlling pressure in the eye following ocular surgery, which valve opens permitting fluid flow through said tube when a predetermined pressure is exceeded, said shunt being configured such that on insertion into a paracentesis port said outer end is substantially flush with the surface of the cornea, and said inner end opens into the anterior chamber of the eye.
In another aspect there is provided a method for preventing ocular pressure spikes following ocular surgery wherein a paracentesis incision port is formed in the eye during said surgery, comprising introducing an ocular pressure spike shunt into said paracentesis port at the conclusion of ocular surgery, said shunt comprising a flexible fluid transfer tube formed of biocompatible material, preferably biocompatible elastomeric material, so as to allow paracentesis incision closure around said tube, having an inner end and an outer end, a tubular lumen disposed between said inner end and said outer end to allow fluid communication through said tube, said lumen containing a valve for controlling pressure in the eye following ocular surgery, which valve opens permitting fluid flow through said tube when a predetermined pressure is exceeded, said shunt being configured such that on insertion into a paracentesis port said outer end is substantially flush with the surface of the cornea, and said inner end protrudes into the anterior chamber of the eye.
The ocular device according to the present invention is implanted in a patient's eye using minimally invasive surgery techniques, adopted from modern cataract surgery.
The ocular device is formed from a biocompatible elastomeric material. Preferably, the device is made of soft surgical grade polymeric material, such as silicon or acrylic material such that the device is foldable and may be rolled up for insertion via a cannula.
Sutures are not required to hold the device in place once surgically introduced into the eye, as the foldable plate is adapted to locate the device on the inner surface of the sclera in a suprachoroidal space formed by cyclodialysis (
The diameter of the tube may be selected so as to provide a resistance to aqueous humor flow of predetermined pressure, preferably being a pressure less than 10 mm Hg. This enables the pressure of the aqueous to be regulated in a controlled manner, providing relief from excess ocular pressure associated with glaucoma, with avoidance of hypotony (uncontrolled low pressure). Alternatively, the tube may contain a valve, for example disposed at the end of the tube opening onto the disc so as to regulate ocular pressure at a predetermined level. Preferably, the valve prevents aqueous flow through the tube at a pressure of less than 10 mm Hg. Examples of valves which may be used include a slit valve. The drainage stops altogether if the pressure drops to a predetermined threshold level controlled by the valve.
The flexible foldable nature of the device according to the present invention enables well established techniques used in cataract surgery to be employed in the treatment of glaucoma. The device according to the present invention may be folded into a cannula and introduced for location into the eye.
Intraocular surgery techniques allow a paracentesis (opening onto the anterior chamber from without at the juncture of the cornea and sclera—the limbus) to be performed and the anterior chamber filled with viscoelastic substance. A cyclodialysis instrument is introduced via the paracentesis, with the paracentesis preferably being carried out 180� from the insertion site. A cyclodialysis is carried out, for example by advancing an instrument tip into the angle between the ciliary body and sclera so as to create a cyclodialysis. This is preferably carried out with direct visualisation via gonioscopy lens viewed through an operating microscope. A surgical gonioscopy lens is preferably placed on the cornea while the cyclodialysis is carried out.
The rolled up ocular device is introduced through a cannula, for example using an introducer such as used in cataract surgery or other ocular surgery, from which the device can be detached by pressing a plunger into the introducer when the device has been inserted into the suprachoroidal space created by the cyclodialysis. The tubing of the device is positioned into the interior chamber, and the plate unfolds in the suprachoroidal space to locate the device in the eye. Because of its size, the device cannot fall through the opening through which it was introduced into the suprachoroidal space by the cyclodialysis. The plate therefore keeps the tube in the appropriate position in the anterior chamber allowing controlled aqueous drainage and providing an effective treatment for elevated ocular pressure.
The pressure spike shunt is designed to fit snugly in a paracentesis port that is routinely made during cataract or other ocular surgery. The tubing will not distort the port and there will be no leakage around the port. The outer end of the tube will sit flush on the surface of the cornea—the inner aspect of the tube will preferably just protrude into the anterior chamber—tube length will generally be 1-2 mm and tube diameter is preferably from 0.4-1.2 mm. The tube will contain the same valvular device as contained in the ocular device described above and will open when the intraocular pressure exceeds a predetermined level, preferably 10 mm Hg. At normal ocular pressure the valve will be closed, closing said tube to any fluid communication.
The shunt may be inserted into a paracentesis port, or one or more ports, using. for example, a punctum plug inserting instrument such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,741,292.
This invention will now be described with reference to the following examples.
Fresh whole porcine eyes were taken and mounted in a temperature controlled (37�) perfusion chamber. The eyes were perfused with Balanced Salt Solution via a 30 gauge needle inserted via a paracentesis into the anterior chamber. A peristaltic pump was used at a flow rate of 2 μl/min. Intraocular pressure was continuously monitored via a second paracentesis.
Typically intraocular pressures stabilized at 10-15 mm Hg and fell with time (the "washout effect", as glycosan aminoglycans are washed out of the trabecular meshwork with time). Creation of a cyclodialysis (initially with a small spatula, then viscoelastic injection to enlarge the area of detachment of the ciliary body from the sclera) with or without insertion of the device in the cyclodialysis cleft (silicone tubing, length 3 mm, external diameter—1 mm, plate diameter 3 mm) resulted in lower intraocular pressures (below 10 mm Hg) on reperfusion at the same perfusion rate as control eyes.
Adequate anesthesia is provided to the eye of a glaucoma patient prepared for intraocular surgery. A paracentesis (opening into anterior chamber from without at the junction of the cornea and sclera—the limbus) is performed and the anterior chamber is filled with a viscoelastic substance. A surgical gonioscopy lens is placed on the cornea (or anterior segment endoscope is used) and a cyclodialysis instrument is introduced via the paracentesis—the paracentesis is carried out 180� away from the planned implant insertion site. The cyclodialysis instrument tip is advanced into the angle and pushed into the space between the ciliary body and sclera creating a cyclodialysis—this is carried out with direct visualization via the gonioscopy lens viewed through an operating microscope. In order to minimize bleeding, the area in the angle (anterior ciliary body face and overlying trabecular meshwork) can be lasered either preoperatively or at the time of surgery to ablate surface blood vessels).
Through an opening at the tip of the cyclodialysis instrument viscoelastic is inserted to further create a space in the suprachoroidal space. The implant is then introduced—the device is rolled up in the same manner as an ultrathin intraocular lens. The ocular device is attached to an introducer from which it is detached by pushing a plunger in the introducer when the implant is inserted into the suprachoroidal space created by the cyclodialysis instrument and viscoelastic. The tubing is then positioned into the anterior chamber and may be cut to size. The plate unfolds in the suprachoroidal space and because of its size cannot fall through the opening through which it was introduced into the suprachoroidal space. The plate therefore keeps the tube in an appropriate position. The valve is then flushed (with a cannula inserted via the paracentesis) via the tube opening in the anterior chamber. Viscoelastic is then removed from the anterior chamber and antibiotics, steroids and a dressing applied to the eye.
Fresh whole porcine eyes were taken and mounted in a temperature-controlled (37�) perfusion chamber as in Example 1. The eyes were perfused with Balance led Salt Solution via a 30 gauge needle inserted via a paracentesis into the anterior chamber. A peristaltic pump was used at a flow rate of 2 μl/min. Intraocular pressure was continuously monitored via a second paracentesis.
Typically intraocular pressures stabilized at 10-15 mm Hg and fell with time (the "washout effect, as glycoaminoglycans are washed out of the trabecular meshwork with time). Silicone tubing (length 3 mm, external diameter 1 mm) was introduced into one paracentesis port. One end of the port (outer end) was flush with the cornea and the inner end of the port extended slightly into the anterior chamber. Intraocular pressure did not exceed 10 mm Hg.

Ben Podobinski had three hits, including a single in the sixth inning that drove in the go-ahead run, as St. Thomas defeated Baldwin Wallace 5-4 Saturday in a winners' bracket game at the NCAA Division III Baseball World Series in Grand Chute, Wis.
The No. 6-ranked Tommies (39-8) will face Wisconsin-Whitewater (42-7) in the third round at 7 p.m. Sunday.
St. Thomas won its 14th straight game, recorded its 10th come-from-behind win of the season and improved to 13-4 in one- or two-run games.
Baldwin Wallace (30-19), which outhit the Tommies 13-8, put runners on base in every inning and held leads of 1-0 and 3-1. But St. Thomas pitchers Colin Wendinger, Jacob Nelson and Tommy Danczyk stranded 11 to keep the game close.
Jacob Nelson took the mound in the sixth inning after the Tommies tied the game at 3-3. He gave up singles in each of the next three innings but struck out two and didn't allow a Baldwin Wallace runner past second base.
"My heart was pumping like crazy when I went in," said Nelson, a senior who made his ninth relief appearance of the season and picked up his first win. "I just wanted to do my job -- keep runners off base and have my team put runs on the board. I had a great defense behind me and held on."
"Jacob did a phenomenal job," Coach Chris Olean said. "That's one of the better clutch performances we've had this year from a reliever."
The Tommies' two rallies impressed Olean.
"We found a way to answer," he said.
Tommies still alive
St. Thomas improved to 7-0 in elimination games this postseason as it rallied for a 4-3 victory over Montclair State (N.J.) in losers' bracket play at the NCAA Division III softball tournament in Tyler, Texas.
Mary Rentz hit a two-run double as the Tommies (44-8) erased a 1-0 deficit with a four-run sixth inning. Montclair State scored twice in the bottom of the seventh, but St. Thomas' Katie Jo Delisle struck out two batters with the tying and winning runs on base to end the game.
The Tommies play at noon Sunday against Salisbury, which is 2-0 in the double-elimination tournament and beat St. Thomas 1-0 on Thursday.
Kendra Bowe pitched into the seventh inning and recorded the victory for St. Thomas. Erin Mussett hit a run-scoring double to score the Tommies' first run.
With St. Thomas trailing 1-0 and down to its final five outs, Bianca Peterson singled and scored the tying run on Emily Gregory's double. Erin Mussett's double put the Tommies ahead 2-1. After Brenna Walek was intentionally walked, Rentz lined a ball over the head of the left fielder to score two for a 4-1 lead.
U loses in softball
Leadoff batter Courtney Ceo went 3 for 3 with three runs scored and two driven in to lead Oregon past Minnesota 10-2 in six innings in the opening game of an NCAA Division I Super Regional softball series in Eugene, Ore.
Minnesota dropped to 44-11.
The teams meet again at 4 p.m. Sunday. If the Gophers win, they would face Oregon again at 7 p.m. for a berth in the Women's College World Series.
The Ducks (53-7-1) got 12 hits off Gophers pitchers Sara Moulton and Nikki Anderson.
Cheridan Hawkins pitched a complete-game two-hitter for Oregon, striking out four.
Track titles in MIAC
MIAC athletes Mallory Burnham of St. Thomas and Kao Sutton of Carleton won individual championships in the Division III outdoor track and field championships at Delaware, Ohio.
Burnham won the 100-meter hurdles in 14.02 seconds, finished second in the 100 in 11.924 seconds and ran the anchor leg of the Tommies' runner-up 4x100 relay team. She had a hand in 26 points as St. Thomas placed fifth in the team competition with 27 points.
Sutton won the discus at 155 feet, 2 inches.

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this page
It looks fine in Opera, but it's all over the place when viewed with Internet Explorer. I'm guessing it's because of the table somehow, but I can't figure out what.
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks everybody,

These 4 gauge gold-plated lugs are wonderful. They are thick enough that they don't bend easy and will conduct very well. Perfect for crimping on or soldering, either way will work.

The former NBA star's downward spiral began a couple of weeks ago when he was accused of cheating on wife Khloe Kardashian.
Then, news broke that he was battling a drug problem that was battling a drug problem, which was causing their marriage to unravel. He had even reportedly been kicked out of their home and was living in a hotel.
It looked like things were going to get better for the embattled basketball player when he moved back into his marital home and was said to be discussing reconciliation with Khloe.
This morning, however, things took a turn for the worse when Lamar was busted for DUI near his Tarzana, CA home.
According to TMZ, Lamar was actually pulled over around 4:00 am for going too slow on the highway and then proceeded to fail multiple field sobriety tests. He refused drug tests.
He was booked at a local jail and is being held on $15000 bail.

David, I hate to disagree with you but I think all of the Luminars but the 16/2.5 are triplets.
I have 25/3.5, 40/4.5, 63/4.5 and had a 100/6.3. Triplets all.
I had a 16/2.5 that appeared to have been cooked in an oven, the balsam had run out from between the two cemented elements to form a crust around the periphery of the first element. I have somewhere, probably can't find easily, drawings of cross-sections of all of 'em; they show the 16/2.5 as essentially a tessar with a field flattener, the others as triplets.
For those watching this discussion, we're deep into lens trivia that has no practical implications at all.

Reading Level 2.3
|Harry's room
|Harry, his horse, and his mom and dad
|Harry has a horse in his room, but no one else can see it. His parents want Harry to see a real horse so he understands that he could not possibly have a horse in his room.
|Harry goes to the country and does see real horses. He then tells his horse that he can leave if he wants to run free, but his horse chooses to stay with Harry in his room. Harry now understands the difference between real and make-believe horses, but he still wants to keep his make-believe horse in his room.
|Harry has a horse in his room that no one else can see. He rides and jumps the horse over objects without knocking over a thing. His parents hear him riding his horse, but they never see the animal. When Harry tells his classmates about his horse, they all laugh. Finally, his parents take Harry to the country to see real horses run, kick, and nibble so he will stop saying he has a horse in his room. When Harry returns from the country, he tells his horse that it can go and be free to run, kick, and nibble, but his horse does not want to go away. Now Harry knows his horse will always be there to watch over him.
|Curriculum Connections:
|Fiction versus nonfiction, pet unit, imaginary friends
Ask the children how many have ever had an imaginary friend. (They may not remember, but their parents may have told them about it.) Let them tell about their imaginary friends. Ask why they think little children have imaginary friends.
Show the children the picture of the horse on the cover. Why do they think Harry's picture is in color and the horse is only a black outline drawing?
Do they think this is a happy story or a sad story? How can they tell?
Have students do the following exercise: Close your eyes and try to remember a time when you have seen horses. Where were they? What were they doing?
Ask children how they would find true (nonfiction) books about horses in the library. Review the use of keyword searches and call numbers to find the location of a subject.

Gary and Steve from msProjectExperts found an interesting issue that could bite you if you have Project Server users who are also domain admins – which I do hope doesn't happen in the real world, but just on our test and demo machines. See their blog post at http://www.projectserverhelp.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=131http://www.projectserverhelp.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=131. Basically Windows tries to save you from yourself, and in the process strips away the impersonation permissions you have given to get your demo/test environment working.
I would say don't do this at home, but this is one where home is ok – just please don't do this at work!
Brian, just joined your blog, I am the head of the PMO office at VCPI and we use the 2003 version of EPM. We are looking to upgrade to 2010 this year but need to find a way to integrate our billing system with the project/resource tracking so that we can bill client work at the project level. Does 2010 have the ability to do that and in not sure is there a source that you can direct me to.

United States and Russia Reach Nuclear Arms Deal
President and Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) on April 8, described by the British Times as "the first concrete foreign policy achievement by Mr. Obama since he took office."
"Today is an important milestone for nuclear security and non-proliferation, and for U.S.-Russia relations" said Obama, speaking inside Prague Castle in the capital of the Czech Republic.
The 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) signed by the United States and the old Soviet Union reduced both sides' nuclear arsenals from tens of thousands of warheads to about 6,000.
Voice of America noted: "During his visit to Moscow last July, President Obama said the United States and Russia must lead by example to reduce the threat of nuclear proliferation. He later reported progress toward that goal, even though the old START treaty had expired."
Such a plan opens the door for a new international power. U.S. leaders going back as far as President John Kennedy have proposed that the world's nuclear weapons be placed under the control of the United Nations. …

November 27, 2015
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Ron Steele will be back making passes,
driving to the basket and directing Alabama's offense.
Coach Mark Gottfried is hoping Steele's presence will translate
to more on-the-court success for a team that has failed to make the
NCAA tournament the past two years after seemingly becoming a
regular presence.
Alabama was picked to win the Southeastern Conference Western
Division by league media.
The former All-SEC point guard sat out last season following
operations on both knees. Last year, Alabama fell to 17-16, its
worst record in eight years, and winning just five league games.
The return of Steele and the arrival of 6-foot-9 freshman
JaMychal Green help take some of the sting off those losses.
Steele, Alonzo Gee and Brandon Hollinger give the Tide three
seniors in the backcourt. That combination plus the loss of Richard
Hendrix could mean Alabama turns to a more uptempo style.
Gottfried also added some quickness by signing 5-9 junior
college point guard Anthony Brock and freshman guard Andrew Steele,
Ron's younger brother.
Alabama's schedule includes nonconference games with Oregon,
Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and Clemson.
The Tide opens the season Sunday against Mercer.

All transportation methods, Stavanger

We traveled by Ryanair to Haugesund (actually Helganes) airport in September 2005. When I was planning this 'off-season' trip, I found it difficult to find information for costs, schedules, and options after the tourist season ended August 31.
I have placed the following information in a travelogue under Stavanger, Norway (as it was our base). It includes prices, schedules, and travel times for three weekdays:
Helganes (Haugesund Airport) to Kopervik by taxi
Kopervik to Stavanger by ferry
Stavanger to Tau by ferry
Tau to Preikestolhytta by bus and taxi
Preikestolhytta to Tau by taxi
Tau to Stavanger by ferry
Stavanger to Haugesund by ferry
Haugesund to Airport (Helganes) by taxi
(Stavanger to Lysefjord / Lysebotn option)
By airplane to Sola airport is probably the best way. Connections to Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London and a few other British cities, and Bergen and Oslo. Airport bus to the city centre.
Ferry to Newcastle, bus and boat to Haugesund and Bergen. Bus to Oslo and Kristiansand.
Trains via Kristiansand to Oslo. From Kristiansand or Egersund you can take the ferry to Denmark.
In the city centre you should walk. Most of it (the best parts) are closed for cars, and besides it's not really THAT big. For travelling to other parts of the city, there are buses to all parts of Stavanger from the bus station or from outside the Cathedral. Fares are usually around 20 NOK. If you wish to go to Sandnes or further south, the local train system has departures every 30 mins to Sandnes and every 1 hour through Jæren to Egersund. 25 to 80 NOK depending on how far you're going. If you're going to the islands or to Ryfylke there are boat to most of the islands and to Ryfylke as far as Sauda, and ferry to Tau. The sightseeing boats such as Clipper are also good experiences. The Nordsjøveien bicycle route from Stavanger to Egersund is a popular nature experience.

by Cat Lover , 05/06/2010
I have been boarding my cats here regularly since the Fall of 2000, and have never had any problems at all. My cats seem to prefer to get their own little vacation (where they can run around a bit) rather than be left home alone. The staff has always been pretty flexible about pick-up and drop-off times, too.
really bad experience
by sadcat , 03/17/2010
Over the summer of 2009 we boarded our two cats here when we had house guests that couldn't be around cats. Despite being in town and calling several times to check on the cats we were not told that the older cat had stopped eating until we picked them up. It took several phone calls to get any answers. According to staff she hadn't eaten in 3 days. She never recovered and ended up being put to sleep. All they had to do was tell us and we would have picked her up and rushed her to our vet. Instead she suffered and ultimately died.

McLeish Puts Brakes on Soaring Legal Aid Bonanza for Lawyers; COURT BILLS TO BE SLASHED BY 25 PER CENT IN THE NEXT YEAR
Byline: ELIZABETH QUIGLEY
THE Government yesterday signalled a clampdown on Scotland's spiralling legal aid budget as Home Affairs Minister Henry McLeish took a firm grip on what the taxpayer will pay lawyers.
Mr McLeish acted after soaring solicitors' fees left Scotland with one of the highest legal aid bills in the world.
Announcing the Government was taking control of the fees,he said he would slash the bill by 25 per cent in the next year.
Lawyers will no longer be paid for waiting in court for their cases to be heard or for the time spent travelling to court.
Last night lawyers and opposition politicians claimed the proposal ran the risk of creating a two tier legal system, with those on legal aid not having the same access to justice as others.
The Government predicts that the system of fixed fees for district and sheriff courts set at [pounds sterling]300 and [pounds sterling]500 will reduce the [pounds sterling]40million legal aid fees bill by more than [pounds sterling]10mil-lion.
Scotland's criminal legal aid bill has soared in the last ten years by 65 per cent and is 50 per cent more per head of population than in England and Wales.
Mr McLeish said he would root out inefficiencies in the legal aid system.
'This is the first time a government has had the determination to control something which has never been controlled. For the first time we are going to be able to control legal aid fees,' he said.
'I believe we have got a solution that works but I believe it is very tough and very radical.
'I don't think solicitors will be happy with what I'm outlining but at the end of the day I want a system that works.' The new fixed fees would replace the current system of solicitors claiming for individual pieces of work. They will no longer be paid for travelling to court or for waiting for a case to be called in court.
Instead, from April 1 this year, they will receive [pounds sterling]300 in a district court case and [pounds sterling]500 in a sheriff court case from the granting of legal aid up to 30 minutes into the trial.
If the trial goes on longer, solicitors would receive another [pounds sterling]50 in a district court and [pounds sterling]100 in a sheriff court. If it continues into a second day they will be able to claim a further [pounds sterling]50 in a district court or [pounds sterling]200 in a sheriff court.
Mr McLeish described it as a sensible step forward.
'I think this is right for the taxpayer and right for those people trying to access justice. It will serve the profession well and serve the taxpayer well. We said we were going to save [pounds sterling]10million. We are going to save [pounds sterling]10million,' he said.
And in a thinly veiled threat, the home affairs minister warned there could be further changes if solicitors tried to find ways round the new system. …
