iMovie is an apple video format, usually iMovie did work with it. However sometimes you may meet problems with MOV files when you importing MOV to iMovie for editing, such as can't imported, and playback issue. And next I will explain you why we often failed to import MOV to iMovie and how to deal with that trouble.
If MOV compressed in codec DV, MPEG-2, AIC, H.264, etc, it can worked well with iMovie on Mac. But if MOV video contains a complex or incompatible video codec, iMovie may reject to accept it. Sometimes if MOV had been edited with some other software, the codec may change either, that can cause problems like can't importing MOV to iMovie. To solve your trouble, I advise you to use MOV to iMovie Converter for Mac- a professional video converter to convert video formats.

Every time people say "No one wants to play in Edmonton because the weather is so crappy" we can't help but laugh to ourselves. We're playing hockey here people—ICE hockey if you're from Belgium. What kind of weather do people expect to play "ice hockey" in exactly? You want nice weather? Go play polo, or worse yet, baseball. Real NHL players were born in a town of 43 people, had to walk 15 miles to the rink where all they had to shoot for a puck was frozen <insert name of local wildlife here> turds.
It would stand to reason that if good players want to play in nice weather, that teams like LA should be awesome. Um no, that ain't the case at all. The Kings suck, lambs, they suck harder than Gene Principe during an Oilers pay-per-view match.
Here's their record in the past five years:
Year Record
2006-2007—24- 41- 14—No playoffs
2005-2006—42- 35- 5—No playoffs
2003-2004—28-29-16-9—No playoffs
2002-2003 —33-37-6-6—No playoffs
So if everyone in the NHL wants to play in a city with nice weather and big-city nightlife, can someone explain to us why the Kings have historically been so crappy? Let us offer up an explanation.
Players who want to go to warm cities aren't hockey players. By and large, they just want to go and be a 20- or 30-something millionaire in a warm city. Former GM of the Phoenix Coyotes Mike Barnett once went on record saying "We have players who want to live in Phoenix and enjoy its lifestyle. We need players who want to play hockey in Phoenix."
What do LA Kings fans tell each other when free agent after free agent don't end up signing in LA?
"Oh Ramon, Marian Hossa won't come here. Ever since the writers strike, all the clubs have emptied out and the stars are partying in New York."
See? You don't have that problem here. The only celebrities you'll run into in Edmonton if you're an Oiler are other Oilers. Playing in Edmonton improves players' skills because there aren't the same distractions here as in other cities.
You think Ray Emery would be driving down the Yellowhead Freeway listening to Three-6 Mafia and balling out of control in his Hummer? HELLS no!
You think Jeremy Roenick would be trying to launch his acting career at local cable channel the Access Network? Yeah right!
If you want to be a ballin'-ass celebrity in the offseason, play in Edmonton and summer in LA. Hell most of the Oilers are already doing it now! We don't care either, do we Nation? We could care less if Ales Hemsky spends his summers dancing the Can-Can in an off broadway production of Cats. As long as he answers the bell when the season starts, what do we care?
The league is filled with players who came to Edmonton, got good and then left for "warmer" or "bigger and better" cities. How is your career David Oliver? What do you do now? Sell insurance? How about you Mike Grier? Dan McGillis? Boris Mironov? Anyone?
Yeah, these clowns really made a good move leaving Oil Country. Their current careers in used auto sales are a testament to that.
So before you decide to go elsewhere this offseason, free agents, just think. Have any players ever come to Edmonton and later regretted it—who weren't named Bernie Nicholls, Petr Klima or Chris Pronger?

Hey Queenslanders
Just getting into the retro racing bike thing and trying to find out some details on a bike l purchased in the late 90's off a guy in wynumm.
He said it was a.pro team Vitus in titanium the bottom bracket was stamped with the original riders nickname PANDA.
it was running shimano tri colour that the owner after the pro had put on the frame. I rode it that way for a couple of year then upgraded it too ultegra sti.
It was a very sweet ride sold it for a carbon.upgrade as l couldn't afford to keep it as well.....wish l still had it went to a nice bloke in Canberra who was stoked.
Any history on PANDA or the bike would be great as I was never able confirm if it was a Vitus the frame was decal free.

The skyline of downtown Dallas has changed dramatically since the 1980s, when J.R. Ewing rode roughshod over his family and his business partners at Ewing Oil.
Twenty miles northeast, in what is still ranch country, things haven't changed much. Sure, suburbia is encroaching, but horses and Texas longhorns still graze in expansive pastures, corralled by wooden fences that stretch toward the horizon.
Fast-food restaurants and big-box stores are now just a horseshoe toss down FM (Farm to Market) Road 2551. But they aren't what draw tourists from around the world; it's the sprawling ranch home, the one locals say is the second best-known "white house" in the world.
That Texas-size boast may not be far off the mark, because it refers to Southfork, the ranch house that for 13 seasons was the make-believe home of the Ewings, one of TV's most famous families, who will return to television next year.
"People still come from all over the world," said Sally Peavy, Southfork's sales manager. "This is something that you want to do on your bucket list. You know, it's like going to see Elvis' place."
Graceland actually was Elvis' home. But because "Dallas" reruns are still broadcast in dozens of countries, the line between fact and fiction easily blurs at Southfork, where tour guide Jim Taylor said that, from time to time, someone will ask whether J.R. still owns the place.
The truth is that a resort company owns the spread. Eleven daily tours depart from a welcome center that also contains a museum sure to please "Dallas" devotees.
"You'll see clips of the show, the actual gun that shot J.R., Lucy's wedding dress, J.R.'s hat and his boots, and the saddles that they actually used," Peavy said.
But it's that big, white house that is the centerpiece of a visit to Southfork. There, guests get a 20-minute guided tour.
"There's a common misunderstanding [about the fact] that they didn't do the filming inside, that they actually used studios in California," Taylor said.
"That is a real problem for some of our visitors," he continued. "Some of them will come in and remember that J.R. had his bourbon and branch [water] in a particular spot. And, of course, he didn't do that here."
That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of classic TV moments to recall at Southfork.
"This is … the famous balcony where Kristin [actress Mary Crosby] fell," Peavy observed while standing next to the backyard swimming pool, which isn't nearly as big as the cameras made it appear.
"She's the one that shot J.R.," Peavy added, as if "Dallas" die hards didn't know that.
Frank Formica of Glendora counts himself among those die hards.
"I know every episode. Maybe I might have forgotten a bit as I've gotten older," he said as he and his wife, Beverly, reminisced following their tour of the Ewings' homestead.
"You felt like you knew them. You felt like you knew their plight; you knew what they were going through," Beverly said. "You mimicked their clothes, you mimicked their actions."
The Formicas say they're delighted that, before too long, they'll no longer have to rely on DVDs to get their "Dallas" fix.
Cable network TNT began shooting episodes of the hit series' sequel, with the same title, last month on a Dallas soundstage. Exterior scenes are being shot at the ranch. Parts of the pilot were filmed at Southfork in May.
This time, the next generation of the fictional family will have control of the reins. J.R.'s son, John Ross Ewing, will be played by actor Josh Henderson, a Dallas native.
Three original cast members will also appear in the new episodes. Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman will reprise their roles as Bobby, Sue Ellen and J.R.
"They're just wonderful people to work with, so we're delighted that they're coming back," Peavy said. She added that the new series is expected to increase the number of visitors to the ranch, which is closed on filming days.
"To be back in Dallas, shooting the pilot, is like coming home," Hagman said in a promotional video posted on the TNT website. The Fort Worth-born actor, who turned 80 in September, was found to have cancer last month but said in a statement that it won't affect his ability to play the cunning Ewing patriarch.
"At the end of the series, I lost all of my money, about $2 billion," Hagman said of his character. "I'm kind of starting off penniless but with know-how."
If you go
Southfork Ranch, 3700 Hogge Road, Parker, Texas; (800) 989-7800, http://www.southfork.com) is open daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Admission is $10.75 for adults and $7 for children ages 5-12. Dates when the ranch is closed for special events and filming are noted on its website.

Newcomer 17
Pretense? Reality sir, reality!
What is the state of the Art of theatre or any of the performing arts? What is the current cultural and social value of educational systems intent upon statistical evidence and raw scores for improvement and growth? Where does the objective meet the subjective? How can we express the formative in the summative assessment?
This seminar is designed to inspire us who sense the value of a theatre arts program and use it to refresh and challenge the lives of students. We will look to get a handle on how to plant, water and grow a program.
Marvin Zehr will share his story as a music/theatre arts teacher and director over the past 23 years where he has directed and produced numerous high school, middle school and community dramas and musical theatre.

Principal Investigators
The project will bring together digitized surrogates of the Machaut corpus, many of which have never been seriously studied by scholars and have yet to be digitized, to explore a series of pressing theoretical concerns, ranging from medieval authorship and collaborative creation to the notion of manuscripts as "textual beings" and the power of context, form, image, and annotation to recreate text and textual experiences. Access to digitized versions of manuscript copies of Guillaume de Machaut's works will allow scholars to approach these issues through the rich and complex history of their material legacy.
Background: Guillaume de Machaut looms large in the field of late medieval literature due to the general scholarly consensus that Machaut, in an unprecedented manner, was deeply self-aware of his status as an author. Indeed, a number of his works, most famously the Voir dit, establishes as a principal character a literary double whose writing experiences becomes the primary thrust of the narrative, thereby replacing the traditional princely lover protagonist with an aged literary cleric. The late medieval writing community reinforced Machaut's self-promotion through elegies in which he was identified as a poète; placed in the company of established writers, including Ovid, Boethius, and Jean de Meun; and virtually identified as the father of French vernacular literature. Some manuscript copies of Machaut's writings reveal bookmakers similarly interested in valorizing the author through the production of single-author manuscripts that depend heavily on author portraits and authorial naming in rubrics to secure his authority.
Machaut's self-promotion, paired with the early valorization of his status in single-author codices, has profoundly influenced modern scholarship on the poet. Drawing on the explicit blurring in Machaut's writings between himself and the protagonist Guillaume who appears throughout his corpus, scholars frequently flirt with biographical readings of his literature.
In 1969, Sarah Jane Williams explored the possibility that the biographic and bibliographic could be fruitfully intertwined and thus she hypothesized that when Guillaume of the Voir dit makes reference to his personal copy of his complete works, he is speaking of a specific manuscript now housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS fr. 1584.
Williams' hypothesis sparked numerous studies in literature, art history, and music that took a keen interest in examining a small selection of Machaut's extant manuscripts for evidence of the author's direct involvement in their production. This author-centric perspective continues to dominate Machaut studies and it does so at the expense of the material evidence that belies Machaut's complete control over the production, dissemination, and reception of his works.
Thesis: This project proposes to redress this skewed perspective through an in-depth study of the numerous multi-authored collections that contain Machaut's writings but in which the author was clearly not involved in their fabrication. A particular emphasis will be given to codices believed to have been produced during the author's lifetime, but samples from subsequent decades will be considered as well. The manuscripts to be included in the project corpus represent a mixture of already digitized materials and newly digitized materials (listed here). Such an approach seeks to "decenter" author-centric studies that continue to dominate medieval studies, even in the field of book history, where the general consensus best expressed individually by Paul Zumthor, Bernard Cerquiglini, and Stephen G. Nichols holds that the medieval codex is the product of many hands.
Guillaume de Machaut's literary and musical corpus exists today in over 50 extant manuscripts dating from the fourteenth and fifteenth century. Rather than demonstrate a uniform way of presenting Machaut's authorial design, these artifacts exploit material form, context, content, and decoration to propose a rich diversity of interpretations that not only directly impact reception of his corpus but shape readers' understanding of authorship. This material corpus ranges from nine hefty single author compendia that draw together Machaut's poetic and musical compositions to multi-authored volumes that include selections of the author's corpus and even small booklets containing single texts.
We argue that these material variations contribute extensively to the construction of the author figure. As Alistair Minnis explored in his study of medieval authorship, medieval culture did not assign the same significance to writers as modern readers have done since the nineteenth-century invention of the "author genius." Nonetheless, the late middle ages were a time of flux in which new notions of vernacular authority emerged, as is expressed through the pronounced biographical interest in writers in a wide array of codices, from the troubadour anthologies of the thirteenth century that insert brief biographies for the twelfth-century poets to the novel interest in complete works collections that identified authorship as a thematic organizer.
It is important, however, to remember that not only in Machaut's case, but in the case of other major late medieval writers, including Christine de Pizan, Alain Chartier, Geoffrey Chaucer, Langland and Petrarch, the single author manuscript was not the sole vehicle through which their works circulated, nor were these particular authors, in spite of their pronounced preoccupation with the fabrication of their works, successful in controlling either the message or the medium associated with their compositions.
The dominant form for communicating Machaut's corpus is, in fact, the multi-author volume in which his writings intermingle with the artistic creations of predecessors, contemporaries, and/or successors. Regardless of the overriding structure selected, these codices display a surprising variety of presentation styles that exploit paratextual material (e.g., table of contents, rubrication, marginalia, illustrations), dimensions, handwriting, dialect, and orthography to shape reception of texts and author(s). In terms of Machaut's explicit material representation, for example, these manuscripts differ according to whether the author is named in text, depicted in illustrations, and/or misidentified.
In this respect, the current project presents Machaut as a case study to explore the competing ways in which medieval books represent contemporary constructions of authorship with a special emphasis on the function that writing communities as depicted in multi-author collections fulfill in articulating authority, subjectivity, and author-reader relations. The theoretical framework proposed by this project, however, will be applicable to various late medieval writers and the conclusions drawn from this two-year collaborative project will sketch out a more expansive and productive way of examining manuscript culture.

Brand-New Maserati GranSport to Boast Twin-Turbo V-6
You may have heard rumors that Italian auto brand Maserati is considering adding a new type of vehicle to its lineup: a mid-engine supercar. This new Maserati would offer much greater performance power than any current Maserati vehicle and would serve as the brand's "halo car." It's even slated to get a GranSport label- the marker of a truly powerful vehicle. This new supercar will be simply named the Maserati GranSport and will compete with the Audi R8 and the Porsche 911 for the top supercar spot. The vehicle will probably only produce around 2,000 units each year, and it's expected to go on sale at dealerships across the world by 2015.
Of course, there have been many rumors circulating about the new vehicle and its exact position when compared to its contenders. Though Auto Express originally reported that the new supercar would receive the brand's 4.7-liter V-8 engine, the reports have now changed to suggest that the GranSport is specifically designed to hold a twin-turbo V-6 engine. This engine could achieve zero-to-sixty in under four seconds and top 190 mph due to its over 450-horsepower production capacity. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission will be paired with this V-6 (sourced from the Ferrari 458 Italia) and will send power from the mid-mounted engine directly to the rear wheels. This engine could also be seen in the Maserati Kubang SUV and an upcoming BMW sedan that will rank below the next Quattroporte.
Our source has also revealed that the new Maserati model will feature a carbon-fiber chassis that's identical to the Italian Alfa Romeo 4C concept, though the track and wheelbase will be extended to properly house the V-6 engine. Despite this extension, however, the Maserati GranSport will be impressively light, at a curb weight of only 2,6040 lbs.
If these numbers are, in fact, true, we can expect the new GranSport to have a power-to-weight ratio very similar to the Maserati MC12 and will have ratio of 5.87 pounds per horsepower. The MC12 produced 623 horsepower and a curb weight around 3,150 pounds and could achieve 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and had a top speed of 205 mph, so the new Maserati GranSport should be extremely impressive as well!
The two-seater Maserati GranSport could be priced around $140k and will certainly help the brand to achieve its ambitious goal of selling 50-thousand global units annually by 2015. The GranSport is one of the three promised vehicles that will be introduced by Maserati by 2015. One of the other vehicles is the upcoming Maserati Kubang SUV, which was first introduced in concept form at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The second, of course, is the GranSport, and the third is still being debated, though it's likely to be the rumored "baby Quattroporte" that the company has been developing. Rumors surrounding this small sedan have been circling the internet for quite some time now.
Stay tuned here with reviewitonline.net for more information about the upcoming Maserati GranSport, and be sure to check out our reviews for currently available models while you wait. From the Maserati Quattroporte sedan to the Maserati GranTurismo Sports Coupe, we're your comprehensive source for new car reviews!

The board of the Columbia Center for the Arts is looking for a few good artists. Actually, it's looking for any artists interested in helping to develop concepts for the design of the exterior of the new center, at 215 Cascade Ave.
"We want their creative juices to just flow," said Judie Hanel, chair of the center. The Columbia Center for the Arts will bring together the Columbia Art Gallery and the CAST Performing Arts Center under one roof in the building previously owned and occupied by the American Legion.
The artists' concepts can be in any format — including sketches, paintings and three-dimensional models. A packet, including line drawings from architect Art Larsen showing the building with proposed entryway and window additions, is available for interested artists.
The center's board plans to kick off a formal fundraising campaign later this summer to raise money for the purchase of the building from a private entity as well as for the renovations. According to Hanel, $150,000 of the $900,000 goal has already been raised.
The renovations will begin after at least $475,000 has been raised to purchase the building — a goal Hanel hopes to reach within a year.
In the meantime, Hood River artist Mark Nilsson has offered to paint murals on the building's north side. The west side of the building, on 3rd Street, will soon bear a sign announcing its future as Hood River's arts center. Mark Dane, chairman of the renovation committee, also plans to have artists — including school children — paint small, interchangeable murals to brighten up the walls on that side of the building until renovations begin.
The Columbia Center for the Arts will host an open house during July's First Friday — which is also the Fourth of July. The center will be open from 2 to 8 p.m. for tours. Visitors will have an opportunity to see the board's vision for the new center, including potential renovation plans.
Artists who have finished concepts done by July 4 will be able to display them during the open house. The deadline for the artists' concepts is July 25.
Packets are available to artists at the Columbia Art Gallery, or by contacting Mark Dane at 387-3586 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says that Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney remains his main transfer target.
However, Mourinho now admits that he does have possible back-up plans in mind if United remain steadfast in their determination to keep the England international.
Chelsea have reportedly had two bids for Rooney turned down already but Mourinho says they are likely to submit another offer before the transfer window closes.
Asked if he had any news on the situation, the Blues boss said: "Nothing has changed and, at a certain point, I agree with what Alan Pardew (Newcastle boss) was saying, that the transfer window goes too far.
"It goes to the third, fourth fixture of the season, which I agree is too much.
"When you think that you'd like to have one player and the market is open, then official bids are not forbidden. Official bids are always accepted in an ethical way."
Jose Mourinho
"But, at the same time, it gives everyone a chance to be in the market, while we are winning or losing points, and we will be until the last day."
Mourinho then discussed the Rooney bid specifically and pointed out that United are well within their rights to decline any bid, as Chelsea did when Barcelona attempted to purchase Brazilian defender David Luiz.
"We trust a lot in our project for the future because the team is very, very young," he said. "But we have conditions to try and improve our team by bringing in one more player and we are going to try that until the end.
"When you think that you'd like to have one player and the market is open, then official bids are not forbidden. Official bids are always accepted in an ethical way.
"You try because nobody forbids you to try and, of course, the player's owners can do exactly what we did in relation to David Luiz and Barcelona."
Samuel Eto'o, who worked with Mourinho at Inter, is reported to be another possible target for Chelsea.
Asked if he might turn to Eto'o, if Rooney remains at Old Trafford, Mourinho said: "We have a plan B and a plan C! Don't ask me names, because it's difficult to speak about players from other clubs."
While Chelsea continue to monitor Rooney's situation at Old Trafford closely, those inside the United camp are hoping the 27-year-old can be persuaded to extend a nine-year association with the club.
Midfielder Michael Carrick said: "Wayne's a big United player. He's one of us and we all stick together. When we're on the pitch we fight for each other. He's part of that.
"I thought he came on and looked good (against Swansea). He's a real threat.
"He's given this club an awful lot, so the fans support him and we support him."
Rooney appeared as a substitute in the 4-1 win at Swansea, creating goals for Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck, and United boss David Moyes remains happy to have the forward at his disposal.
Moyes said: "He got 65 minutes in the game against Scotland the other day and I felt he could do a job if he came on.
"He's not ready yet physically because he's not done enough training, but he came on and a made a great run for Robin's goal and played in Danny for his goal, so it will be good for Wayne to get those minutes.
"I think people know good players and Wayne is a good player. Everyone wants those players in the team and we are delighted to have Wayne playing."

Scleral Lens Applications: A Case Series
Scleral contact lenses are sometimes the only option for irregular or diseased corneas.
By Ann Laurenzi, OD
Dr. Laurenzi practices at the Cole Eye Institute in Cleveland, Ohio where she specializes in refractive surgery co-management, contact lenses and clinical research.
In specialty contact lens fitting, you see a vast amount of pathology, post-trauma and post-surgical eyes, and ocular surface diseases that plague patients who are referred to you. You will need to be well versed in the different types of lenses that are available to help such patients.
Large-diameter scleral lenses are one design that has been gaining interest among practitioners. Scleral lenses can restore vision and provide therapeutic benefits to many different types of patients, ranging from those who have irregularly shaped corneas to those with ocular surface diseases. Indications for fitting scleral lenses include keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, post-trauma and post-surgical corneas, severe dry eye, Sjögren's syndrome, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, severe atopic disease and/or limbal stem cell deficiency.
Patients who have severely distorted and irregularly shaped corneas can gain visual rehabilitation with scleral lenses when corneal lenses are not indicated or successful. Patients who have diseased eyes can attain therapeutic benefits from scleral fits because the large diameter creates a protective barrier between the environment and the compromised ocular surface.
Common scleral lens diameters range from 15.0mm to 24.0mm. Scleral lenses completely vault the cornea, with the weight-bearing portion of the lens resting on the sclera and an aqueous fluid reservoir maintained between the posterior part of the lens surface and the anterior corneal surface at all times. This provides constant hydration to the superficial ocular surface. Recent scleral lens manufacturing now allows lenses to be made from high- or hyper-Dk materials, which is important because the majority of oxygen supplied to the cornea results from diffusion through the high-Dk matrix of the lens materials rather than through tear exchange.
The following cases illustrate different benefits of and opportunities for fitting scleral contact lenses.
Case One: Keratoconus
A 31-year-old police officer presented with a history of keratoconus. The patient was referred to the clinic for fitting of the left eye following Intacs (Addition Technology, Inc.) removal and subsequent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). The Intacs corneal ring was removed from the eye after placement because it moved the stromal scarring directly into the visual axis with concurrent visual degradation post-implantation. Following the procedures, the patient was limited to desk responsibilities until he could pass a vision evaluation.
The patient's post-surgical manifest refraction was –3.00 +5.00 ×107 VA 20/25 and his graft diameter was 9.0mm.
Topography showed asymmetric astigmatism with an extremely flat periphery in the nasal quadrant (Figure 1). The periphery made centering a corneal lens very difficult, and due to the nature of the patient's profession he could not tolerate lens dislodgement or loss while on duty. A scleral lens was a natural choice. The lens would center without dislodging and the rigid materal would provide superior vision. Manufacturing the lenses in a high-Dk material would reduce the risk of hypoxic conditions.
Figure 1. Topography map OS of patient in Case 1.
We performed the diagnostic fitting with a 46.00D base curve radius (BCR), 15.0mm overall diameter (OAD) lens, which exhibited a large amount of central pooling and midperipheral touch. This indicated that the lens was too steep in radius and/or that the OAD was too small.
We ordered a Jupiter Lens (Medlens Innovations, Inc., manufactured by Essilor Labs of America, Inc.) for this patient in the following parameters:
- BCR 7.50mm
- Power –2.00D
- OAD 16.2mm; optical zone diameter (OZD) 8.00mm
- Peripheral curve (PC)1 7.87mm, 2.1mm width
- PC2 8.70mm, 0.90mm width
- PC3 12.75mm, 0.65mm width
- PC4 14.25mm, 0.40mm width
This lens resulted in a visual acuity (VA) of 20/40, which improved to 20/20 with a –1.50D over-refraction.
Central fluorescein pooling and heavy midperipheral touch gave evidence that the lens was still too steep centrally. The central portion of the lens needed to be reduced while vaulting over the midperiphery to allow the weight-bearing portion of the lens to rest on the sclera.
We reduced the optical zone (OZ) and steepened the curve outside of the OZ in the second lens ordered for the patient to better contour the grafted cornea and relieve the midperipheral touch.
We again ordered a Jupiter Lens in the following parameters:
- BCR 7.67mm
- Power –3.00D
- OAD 16.2mm; OZD 7.80mm
- PC1 6.40mm, 0.7mm width
- PC2 7.87mm, 0.9mm width
- PC3 8.70mm, 1.60mm width
- PC4 12.75mm, 0.60mm width
- PC5 14.25mm, 0.40mm width
The patient achieved 20/20 vision and is able to wear the lens 12-to-14 hours without fear of dislodgement. The superior visual acuity allowed the patient to pass all tests and return to active duty.
Case 2: Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
This patient presented with idiopathic limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), in which the cornea is continuously renewed by the cells which reside in the limbus. Loss or hypofunctioning of the limbal stem cells can result from Stevens-Johnson syndrome, ocular cicatrizing pemphigoid, multiple surgeries, neurotrophic keratitis, chronic limbitis and chemical or thermal burn wounds.
The disease manifests itself as epithelial defects, chronic inflammation, keratitis, vascularization and fibrosis, ultimately resulting in corneal blindness. Ocular surface changes in LSCD caused by chemical injury include a histologic study of excised pannus from recipients of cultured corneal epithelium.
Our patient was a 44-year-old female who complained of gradually worsening foggy vision for two months. The vision was worse out of the right eye versus the left eye. She had a 20-year history of soft contact lens wear and for the past five years has been wearing GP lenses.
Manifest refraction was OD –7.00 +4.00 ×073 20/400, OS –5.50 +3.75 ×104 20/25. The patient's slit lamp examination revealed pannus 360 degrees OD and OS as well as diffuse epithelial staining, surface irregularity, peripheral epithelial opacification and superior corneal thinning. Only a small central clear corneal area remained in the right eye, and the thinning created irregular astigmatism. A diagnosis of idiopathic LSCD was made, although it was also proposed that her condition could have resulted from long-term contact lens wear. The patient was referred for a scleral contact lens fitting to protect the fragile cells of the corneal/limbal surface junction and to restore vision.
After obtaining corneal topography images, we fit the patient with scleral lenses. When diagnostically fitting scleral lenses, you typically want to select an initial lens with a base curve radius 1.00D steeper than steep K. Observe the lens-to-cornea fitting relationship and make changes to the lens until it completely vaults the cornea and limbal surface, with the lens peripheral curve radii resting on the sclera.
The Sim Ks for our patient were 48.75 @ 90/48.12 @ 180 OD and 47.00 @ 100/43.25 @ 010 OS. The horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID) was 12.00mm. We selected an OAD of 18.2mm to maintain an aqueous reservoir and vault the diseased limbal area.
We ordered scleral lenses for this patient manufactured by Medlens Innovations in the following parameters:
- BCR 6.75mm
- OAD 18.2mm; OZD 8.20mm
- PC1 6.89mm, 2.00mm width
- PC2 9.00mm, 1.00mm width
- PC3 12.25mm, 1.50mm width
- PC4 14.50mm, 0.50mm width
The right contact lens had a power of –10.00D, which resulted in 20/25 VA. The left lens had a power of –6.00D to provide a monovision result.
At the one-month follow up, the lenses were showing heavy deposits and surface dryness. We reordered the lenses in the same parameters and powers but with a plasma treatment, which greatly improved surface wetting. The patient's LSCD stabilized and she has successfully worn the lenses for two years.
Case 3: Post-Trauma
A 48-year-old male had a history of multiple penetrating keratoplasties and limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) secondary to an alkaline burn in the right eye. He has persistent epithelial defects due to a neurotrophic ulcer within the graft. The patient underwent an amniotic membrane graft and tarsorrhaphy (3m) and was referred for a scleral lens fitting.
The first diagnostic lens had the following lens parameters:
- BCR 7.71mm
- Power –3.62D
- OAD 18.2mm; OZD 8.20mm
- PC1 7.60mm, 2.2mm width
- PC2 8.70mm, 1.0mm width
- PC3 12.25mm, 1.3mm width
- PC4 14.50mm, 0.5mm width
This lens resulted in excessive bearing in the limbal area inferiorly and superiorly.
The second diagnostic lens, manufactured by Medlens Innovations, had a flatter base curve radius in combination with a reverse curve to minimize bearing zones (Figure 2). Parameters were as follows:
- BCR 8.08mm
- Power –1.75D
- OAD 18.2mm; OZD 8.40mm
- PC1 7.28mm, 2.2mm width
- PC2 8.70mm, 1.0mm width
- PC3 12.25mm, 1.2mm width
- PC4 14.5mm, 0.5mm width
Figure 2. The patient in Case 3 with a more alignment fitting relationship resulting from a flatter base curve radius and a steeper secondary (reverse) curve.
The goals when fitting a patient who has LSCD are to protect the cornea/limbus junction and to provide constant hydration to the fragile cells. The scleral lens should completely vault the limbal area as demonstrated by moderate fluorescein pooling at the limbus. An OAD of 18.0mm or larger is usually a good starting point to achieve this fitting relationship.
Another way to monitor vaulting in a scleral lens patient is with an OCT anterior segment view, which allows you to view the fitting relationship on the eye centrally and in the limbal area (Figure 3).
Figure 3. An example of using OCT to monitor apical clearance with scleral lens fitting.
Case 4: Protruding Graft
A 59-year-old high school guidance counselor was referred to my clinic for a contact lens fitting. This patient underwent corneal transplants in both eyes (1981 OD and 1982 OS) secondary to keratoconus.
The referring doctor's referral letter stated: "…all contact lenses extrude spontaneously and frequently secondary to the steepness of the cornea." The patient was extremely frustrated with the constant loss of lenses. The patient also experienced extreme dryness from exposure, as the blink does not fully cover the protruding graft of the right eye (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Protruding graph of the patient in Case 4.
Our scleral lens fitting goals for this patient were to achieve a stable fit on the severely steepened and distorted cornea, to offer possible visual rehabilitation and to reduce the dry eye symptoms from exposure due to incomplete blinks.
We ordered a scleral lens from Medlens Innovations in the following parameters:
- BCR 6.25mm
- Power –17.00D, VA 20/20
- OAD 18.2mm; OZD 8.0mm
- PC1 5.60mm, 0.80mm width
- PC2 7.73mm, 2.05mm width
- PC3 8.40mm, 1.0mm width
- PC4 13.50mm, 0.65mm width
- PC5 15.0mm, 0.60mm width
We flattened the peripheral curves of the lens several times before the fit was finalized (Figure 5). The peripheral curves should just rest on the scleral conjunctiva without impingement. The scleral lens was able to vault the protruding cornea, while offering the patient good vision, stability and relief from dryness due to exposure.
Figure 5. An optimum scleral lens fit on a protruding graft.
If the peripheral curves are too tight, blood flow will be cut off or reduced, causing a cascade of adverse events. Even minimal reductions in blood flow from tight curves can result in signs of inflammation and corneal desiccation. Monitor this by observing the lens in white ligh behind the slit lamp. Visually follow a blood vessel starting from outside of the lens diameter to the limbal area under the lens. If there is impingement, you'll observe a blanching of the blood vessel as it progresses under the contact lens.
Reductions in blood flow under the lens can be very subtle and you may not always see complete blanching of the blood vessels (Figure 6). Another sign that the blood flow may be reduced manifests as heavy conjunctival flushing with lens removal. Patients may state that their eye turns very red after the lens is taken out and that they feel a persistent foreign body sensation. An obvious sign that the lens peripheral curves are too tight occurs when the lens suctions to the scleral conjunctiva and breaking the seal of the lens and conjunctiva is difficult. You should observe the peripheral curves after several hours of lens wear because the fit can tighten as fluid is exchanged under the lens.
Figure 6. Blanching of the blood vessels superiorly in a tight-fitting lens.
Scleral lenses have numerous applications in today's contact lens practice. As demonstrated in these cases, they provide good vision, comfort and eye protection for patients who may not have any other viable option that could provide these benefits. CLS

Ricky Gervais: Equal-opportunity offender
Just how mean were Gervais' barbs? Here's a brief rundown of everyone he offended (or attempted to offend): Charlie Sheen, overweight people, "The Tourist," Mel Gibson, "Burlesque," Cher, Hugh Hefner, a couple of allegedly closeted Scientologists and (why not?) the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. itself. That tally went on to include Bruce Willis, Robert Downey Jr., Sylvester Stallone, Tim Allen, Steve Carell and the ladies of "Sex and the City."

Trac.ini Dynamic Option Value Macros
Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.
The IniGetMacro package consists of two macros. The first, IniGet, returns as plain
text the value of a trac.ini configuration option. The
trac.ini file is a simple database of sections and option/value pairs:
[section] name = value
By calling the macro like so:
[[IniGet(section.name)]], it returns the value.
If no option matches, it returns an error message. Some option names themselves
contain periods, this is supported.
The second macro in the package is Welcome, and it returns a level 1 heading element in the following format:

Welcome to the project.name Project

Where project.name is dynamically inserted in the same manner as IniGet.
These macros are useful for WikiStart project templates.

POTTERS BAR, United Kingdom - Deep Purple needs no introduction to rock fans – the iconic riff to "Smoke on the Water" alone is instantly recognizable to anyone not born under a rock. For the last 10 years, Don Airey has been the keyboard player for Deep Purple. Airey has been on the rock scene for more than 25 years, having played on almost 200 albums with artists like Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jethro Tull, ELO, UFO and many others.
Don is using a HARMAN Soundcraft® Si Compact 16 Digital Live Sound Mixer on Deep Purple's current U.S. and European tours. Gert Sanner, front of house engineer for Deep Purple, notes, "We are in the process of replacing our old mixers because we have two full systems going on tour, and we wanted to have more consistency between the two keyboard rigs. We chose the Si Compact 16 because of the quality of its internal effects, its sound quality and its ease of use."
"We wanted to be able to take any adjustments to the settings that we did on one rig and transfer them to the other," Sanner continues. "The Si Compact 16 lets us easily move our settings between consoles, rather than having to manually duplicate all of our reverb, delay and other effects settings every time we make a change."
"We are also using the console's MIDI capability by linking specific keyboard sounds to individual Scenes on the desk. This enables us to store particular EQ settings to particular songs, and make the transition from one keyboard rig to the other a lot smoother."
In addition to the Si Compact 16, Gert Sanner is using a Soundcraft Vi6 digital console for front of house mixing.
"We're getting great results by working this way," Sanner concludes. "We are busy hopping from continent to continent, so anything that makes the day easier is more than welcome."
HARMAN (www.harman.com) designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment solutions for the automotive, consumer and professional markets – supported by 15 leading brands including AKG®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon® and Mark Levinson®.

You know the saying about a man's heart and the ideal route to get there. So this Father's Day, why not skip the gift and let Dad unwrap something delicious instead?
Oliver Gift, executive chef at Lowcountry restaurant in New York City's West Village, has two dishes to wow him. Check out the recipes below (paired with his Lowcountry Iced Tea)
Bacon Deviled Eggs (Yields 6)
18 eggs (hardboiled)
¼ bunch parsley (chopped)
1 sprig of mint (chopped)
2 shallots (small dice)
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
8 pieces/strips cooked bacon (save fat)
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup Mayonnaise
2 teaspoon white vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
Step 1: Halve all eggs, setting 6 halves aside. Finely chop remaining egg whites and all the cooked egg yolks and mix together in a bowl.
Step 2: Add the parsley, mint, mustard, shallots, Dijon, cooked bacon & fat, mix evenly.
Step 3: Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise and vinegar until egg mixture is loose but not very loose. (Mixture has to keep its shape in the remaining egg whites.)
Step 4: Season egg mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Put in a piping bag (cut corner off a plastic bag) and pipe into remaining egg whites (halved). This dish should be only served when the egg whites are at room temperature and the filling is cold.
Pork Belly Sliders (Yields 8-12 depending on thickness of slice)
5lb Pork Belly (skin on/de-boned)
1qt sugar
1qt kosher salt*
Oyster sauce
Potato roll
Step 1: Lightly score pork belly skin
Step 2: Mix together salt/sugar evenly and rub all over pork.
Step 3: Place the pork skin side up in a metal container, then cover in plastic and place in refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Step 4: Rinse pork off, skin side up, and cover with hot water. Once covered with water, place a piece of parchment on top and then cover with tinfoil.
Step 5: Put the wrapped pork belly in oven at 500 degrees and cook for approximately 2.5 hours or until a spoon can push through pork with no resistance.
Step 6 (Optional): Once cooked remove pork from water and place in the middle of a sheet tray. Then put parchment paper on the pork skin and put another sheet tray on top. Use weights to press pork for 24hrs.
Step 7: Cut pork into rectangles of a thickness of your choosing.
Step 8: In a pan with no oil gently crisp up on side of cut pork to a light brown. Remove from pan and brush with oyster sauce. Put the pork onto a potato roll, coleslaw on top and enjoy.
*Salt must be kosher otherwise it will be too salty once cured.

After mother's visit, Peralta was never better
MILWAUKEE -- Logic says that Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta found success last season when he started consistently commanding his slider, controlling an offspeed pitch and harnessing opposing hitters.
But here's a more quixotic notion: Maybe Peralta just needed some of mom's home cooking.
MILWAUKEE -- Logic says that Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta found success last season when he started consistently commanding his slider, controlling an offspeed pitch and harnessing opposing hitters.
But here's a more quixotic notion: Maybe Peralta just needed some of mom's home cooking.
Either way, the Brewers right-hander was just starting his second-half surge last July 9, when his mother, Miledy, saw him pitch as a professional for the first time. Wily responded with his first career shutout, a two-hitter against the Reds at Miller Park.
"Oh, man," Peralta said, remembering the moment. "It was amazing, man. The first time my mom saw me play? That's amazing."
Miledy Peralta is deathly afraid of flying and had long resisted her son's invitation to visit the United States. He'd signed with the Brewers in 2005 during a period when Milwaukee did not operate a Dominican academy, so he went directly to Arizona to begin his professional career in 2006.
Tommy John surgery sidelined Peralta in 2007, but he began to advance from rookie ball in 2008 to two Class A levels in 2009, then to Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville over ensuing seasons.
Still, mom never made it for a visit.
"She doesn't like baseball," Peralta deadpanned. "She told me when I signed, 'The only time I'm going to put baseball on my TV is when you're in the big leagues and you're the starting pitcher.'"
That is not to say Miledy was not supportive of her son's baseball dreams.
To the contrary, she "always supported me, since I started when I was 11 years old," Wily said. "We had to move to the capital, because where I come from is so small. I had more chances to play in the capital, and she always supported that. I left when I was 11 years old with my uncle.
"She knew that was the only way I could do this. We wanted to do it the right way. I loved baseball and she let me go."
The uncle was named Marcio, Peralta's mother's brother. Wily attended a school with a strong baseball program and drew the attention of scouts, including those of the Brewers.
He signed for $515,000, a record at the time for a Brewers international signee, and began a long road that brought him to Milwaukee at the end of 2012. He began 2013 in the Brewers' starting rotation, but struggled for most of the first half, going 4-8 with a 6.08 ERA over his first 15 starts.
On July 9, Peralta was coming off a start against the Nationals cut short by a tight hamstring. But he had no such trouble against the Reds, teaming with catcher Martin Maldonado on the Brewers' first complete-game effort in two and a half years.
It was only the third complete game of Peralta's pro career, which, at the time, spanned 128 starts in the Majors and Minors. The Brewers had played 407 regular season games -- and 11 more in the 2011 postseason -- without a pitcher finishing what he started, until Peralta took the mound against a Reds team that ranked fourth in the National League in runs scored.
Encouraged by Maldonado, Peralta worked at a snappier-than-usual pace while scattering four walks, two singles and a triple in the best start of his budding big league career. He threw 113 pitches.
Mom was waiting outside the clubhouse after the victory.
"After the game, she was crying," Peralta said. "After that, I just got it going."
Miledy stayed at her son's apartment for the next two months, and he enjoyed a solid finish to his first full season. He posted a 3.35 ERA in 14 starts from the shutout through the end of the year.
"I just think I pitched better," Peralta said with a shrug. "I was more confident, but at the same time I wasn't there by myself anymore. When I got back to my place after the game, I had somebody there I could talk to."
They were together all offseason, too, at the family's home in Banao, Dominican Republic, about 45 minutes from the capital of Santo Domingo. Peralta also spent time in his hometown of Samana, a beach town in the northeast of the country, where he is trying to expand leagues for children interested in baseball.
"Whenever I go back there, I'm doing everything I can," Peralta said. "If you want to play baseball, you should have the opportunity."
Back with the Brewers for his second full season, Peralta expects another midsummer visit from mom. He is working to obtain a travel visa for his father, too.
With her son's success, Miledy has softened her stance on baseball.
"Now, she likes it," Peralta said. "She learned. Now, she asks me all kinds of questions."

Livingston Co. eyed for food processing firms
PONTIAC — Livingston County may be a perfect spot for food processing and manufacturing firms, based on results from a countywide survey of business leaders.
Larry Vaupel, CEO of the Greater Livingston County Economic Development Council, plans to target those industries in the coming year in hopes that someone will locate a plant and add jobs to the market.
The 25-question survey garnered 75 responses from business leaders in Pontiac, Fairbury, Dwight, Saunemin and Cullom.
"We learned several things and gained a better insight into our county's strength and weaknesses," Vaupel said during the council's annual meeting last week. "We also found some things that were very encouraging and some things to work on."
Location, availability of land and proximity to markets were the top three reasons to do business in Livingston County, the survey showed.

At least two area schools took proactive steps this year to schedule outdoor activities before dusk so that when state health officials announced, as they did Thursday, that the threat level for Eastern equine encephalitis was heightened, they would be prepared. Following the announcement Thursday, state health officials are now beginning to discuss aerial spraying, according to Raynham Health Agent David Flaherty.
They knew it was coming, it was just a matter of when.
At least two area schools took proactive steps this year to schedule activities before dusk, so that when state health officials announced, as they did Thursday, that the threat level for Eastern equine encephalitis was heightened, they would be prepared.
The deadly virus has appeared in mammal-biting mosquitoes in Easton, Raynham, Taunton and West Bridgewater, state health officials announced Thursday.
As a result, health officials raised the threat level to "high" for each of those communities, which brings with it an urging to curtail all activities after dusk and before dawn.
Local towns and schools say they are on board.
"We take it really seriously," Jacqueline Forbes, superintendent of Bridgewater-Raynham public schools, said Thursday. "And for some reason, it seems like we're the epicenter of all this, so it's just a routine matter of course for us now."
So, rather than having to scramble to make changes when the virus rears, athletic directors at Bridgewater-Raynham and Oliver Ames in Easton planned for the early curfew and scheduled fall games before nightfall.
"I guess we all knew it was going to happen sooner or later," Raynham Health Agent David Flaherty said Thursday. "Here we are."
Flaherty said he was in touch with schools and with the Parks and Recreation Department Thursday to ensure all are in agreement to reschedule outdoor evening activities on public fields and parks.
As for informing residents, he said, "basically we're telling people just to keep doing what you're doing."
"I think people are pretty much aware at this point (about taking precautions), because of Raynham's history with EEE," added Flaherty, speaking of 80-year-old resident Martin Newfield, who died two years ago after contracting the disease.
Following Newfield's death, local health departments throughout the region called on state officials to reinstate aerial spraying as a proactive approach to helping knock down the infected mosquito population before tragedy strikes, not after.
This year, Raynham officials renewed that call.
Last week, after an 85-year-old Weymouth woman died – the only person this year statewide to contract the disease – selectmen said they would call for immediate aerial spraying.
"Inaction on behalf of the Patrick administration has caused far too many families to lose loved ones," said selectmen chairman Joseph Pacheco.
Flaherty, the town's health agent, told The Enterprise he had been in touch with state veterinarian Dr. Catherine Brown who said she was going to attempt to have a telephone conference with the state mosquito control board and department of agriculture to approve aerial spaying.
If approved, Flaherty said aerial spraying could begin as early as next week, as long as weather conditions are right.
The state department of public health could not be reached to confirm they have started discussions.
"Hopefully, if they look at the big picture, they'll approve it," added Flaherty.
Aerial spraying does not eliminate the virus, but it does reduce the risk that people will contract the virus, state health officials have said.
"It may not be the answer," Flaherty added, "but if it eliminates one incident from happening, then that's worth it."
As state health officials mull whether aerial spraying is the answer, local schools are making parents and students aware of the present risks.
At Stonehill College in Easton, authorities posted public health advisories to each residence hall and locker room, and on employee bulletin boards and online, according to Kristen Magda, who spoke for the college Thursday.
"Our residence life staff have also discussed safety measures with students during beginning of the year activities and residence hall meetings," Magda added, in an email.
Patricia Oakley, superintendent of public schools in West Bridgewater also posted a note to the school's website Thursday, alerting parents that no outdoor school-sponsored activities will take place between dusk and dawn, and urging them to continue to take precautions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ready2Style from I Likey These leggings are cute and simple but edgy. I would definitely dress tham up more times then down but either way, they're convenient and stylish. The spandex is a little thick so not too comfortable if worn in the summer. I'm about 6ft tall so they hit mid-calf as oppossed to closer to ankle length, which is a little disappointing, especially when wearing heels, but I'm use to that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ANGELINMTOWN from VERY VERY SEXY THESE TIGHTS LOOK SO GOOD ON. I GOT THESE IN MEDIUM AND THE FIT IS VERY GREAT. THE STRIPE GOING DOWN THE SIDES LOOKS REALLY GOOD. GET THESE TIGHTS. YOU CAN DRESS UP OR DRESS DOWN IN THESE.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yaya82 from FIT LIKE A GLOVE I love love love these leggings. I was a little hesitate as I am not as tall as the model, but once on they fit perfect! Hugs curves without revealing imperfections, would definitely recommend!

Rated 2 out of 5 by SewerGal from Not worth the price Sometimes it is hard to shop on line. In the photos, these leggings looked so much nicer. When I got them, I didn't like them, they were too thin, cheap material, not worth the price. They went back.
