BUFFALO, N.Y. – The 2012-13 men's basketball season at Canisius College has seen a number of records broken and a number of streaks come to an end. The team's 18 wins are the most for the program since 2000-01, the 11 MAAC wins are the most for the program since 1998-99, the Golden Griffins' 11 home wins in the Koessler Athletic Center are the most in school history and the team was able to beat Temple and Niagara on the road, with the win at Niagara ending a nine-game road losing streak in the series for the Blue and Gold. The Griffs also recorded wins over all three Western New York rivals (Buffalo, Niagara and St. Bonaventure) for the first time since 2000-01.
Now, you can cross one more streak off the list – the program's postseason drought.
Canisius College has officially accepted an invitation to participate in the 2013 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT), ending the program's 17-year postseason drought. The Griffs' first-round game will be played Wednesday, March 20 in the Koessler Athletic Center against an opponent to be announced. Game time is set for 7 p.m. This will be the program's first postseason game since the Griffs played Utah March 14, 1996, in the first round of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament It will be Canisius' first home postseason game since March 23, 1995, when the team defeated Washington State in the Memorial Auditorium for a berth into the NIT Final Four.
Tickets for all seats cost $10 and are on sale now through the Canisius College Ticket Office. Fans can purchase their seats in person at the ticket office or by calling (716) 888-2885 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily. Student tickets are free for all Canisius students with valid student ID cards. Those tickets can be picked up in the C-Block office from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. March 14, 15 and 18-20.
"Any time you get to play in the postseason, it is a great thing," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "There's close to 350 teams at the Division I level and more than half of them are going to be sitting at home. This gives our guys a chance to continue to compete, and it serves as a real testament to the hard work and accomplishments that this group has put together. We are very excited to be able to bring postseason college basketball back to Canisius."
This will mark the fifth year of the CIT event, with first-round games set to be played March 18-20. The CIT field consists of teams not participating in the NCAA or NIT fields, and the criteria for selection includes win-loss record, strength of schedule, strength of conference and final 10 games played. Participating teams must have at least a .500 record through the regular season with the Great West Tournament champion earning an automatic bid. The CIT consists of 31 games, with the championship game set for Tuesday, April 2. That game will be televised live on the CBS Sports Network.
"This is another great step forward for our men's basketball program," Canisius Director of Athletics Bill Maher said. "This year's team has been able to make great strides forward and securing our program's first postseason berth in the last 17 years is another sign of significant progress. We feel this is not only a great opportunity for our student-athletes, but it will be great experience for our fans and the community as well."
The Griffs are currently 18-13 overall and the team went 11-7 in MAAC play under Baron, who will be taking a team to the national postseason for the 12th time in his 26-year head coaching career. The team earned a first-round bye in last week's MAAC Tournament for just the second time since 2000 and the team's No. 5 seed in the conference's postseason event was the highest for the program since 1999. In the latest NCAA RPI release, the Griffs are No. 114 and the team's strength of schedule ranks 100 out of 345 teams at the Division I level.
The Griffs are led by junior guard Billy Baron, who was named All-MAAC First Team last week. Baron ranks fourth in the MAAC with his 16.9 points per game and his 5.0 assists per outing is tops in the conference. Senior guard Harold Washington ranks second on the team in scoring with 13.8 points per game, and he enters the postseason averaging 19.6 points per game in the team's last five contests.
"I'm really happy to have a chance to play in a postseason event with my teammates," Washington said. "As a college basketball player, you always want to play in March. That's the goal from day one. This event gives us a chance to build on what we have done this year. It will be exciting to be back home in front of our fans and students again too."
Canisius will learn its first round opponent on Sunday night. A win would put the Griffs into the second round, which is scheduled to be played March 22-24. The quarterfinal round will be played March 26-27 and the semifinals are set for March 29-30. All games in the CIT are played on-campus.

The best small-space garden I have ever visited belongs to Richard Mosselman, a letter carrier in Victoria with a passion for plants, an eye for creative design and a knack for gracious artistic expression.
Over the last two decades, he has assembled a remarkable collection of plants in the tiny backyard of his townhouse in the James Bay neighbourhood and succeeded at creating a charming and totally private sunken garden worthy of a glossy magazine centre spread.
For Mosselman, the art of small-space gardening is to pick the right pot for the right spot and then to be fearless about selecting plants.
Knowing plants in pots don't grow as big as they do when planted in the ground because their roots are constrained, Mosselman feels free to go big with his planting ideas. In tight spaces, often less than an arm's width, he planted trees, such as 'Purple Fountain' beech, 'Forest Pansy' redbud and Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia', as well as less common specimens like the super-fragrant Clerodendron trichotomum, prickly castor oil tree (Kalopanax septemlobus) and Japanese pepper tree (Zanthoxylum piperitum).
Fearless? Most definitely. But Mosselman explains his confidence this way: "I prune a lot. Some people are afraid to prune. Not me. I have to or the plants will take over."
He is also assiduous about cleaning up leaves and flower petals to keep his botanical oasis meticulously tidy.
Clever placement of decorative pots along with a well designed sitting area, plus the creative use of ambient lighting, add up to an inspired and imaginative use of space.
In North Vancouver, Alleyne Cook has created an equally unique small-space garden within his larger rhododendron/ magnolia garden by assembling a compact rockery composed of various sizes of lightweight volcanic tufa rock.
By drilling holes into the rocks, Cook has been able to accommodate a grand assortment of plants, including Ramonda serbica (Serbian phoenix flower) maidenhair ferns, encrusted saxifrage, even trees and shrubs, such as huckleberry, nothofagus, Salix boydii and a monkey puzzle tree, turned into a virtual bonsai-specimen.
Cook inserted the plants directly into the holes in the tufa without any soil. He adds nutrients by watering the rocks with pig-manure-based fertilizer.
The gardens of Mosselman and Cook both occupy small spaces at ground level. It is quite a different challenge to create a garden on a balcony, rooftop, balcony, deck or terrace.
The first consideration, of course, is weight. You must always be conscious of the weight of heavy pots filled with soil and realize that they will, of course, become even heavier when watered and when the plants grow.
The answer is to first check on the weight restrictions of your space, then to choose lightweight pots, lightweight potting soil and possibly considering using special inserts that are available at garden centres to reduce the interior space of a pot, thus reducing the amount of soil needed.
Wind is invariably a factor. You need to select plants that cannot only tolerate the drying effect of wind, but ones that are also sturdy and stable enough not to fall apart or get blown away.
Watering is a lot easier on the ground than it is on a balcony or deck. You can't have water dripping on people who are living or walking below, so it can be crucial to select plants that require minimal watering, as well as to practise a safe and courteous watering regime.
Light exposure is a key factor. If your balcony faces south or west, it is going to be considerably warmer than if it faces east or north. Your selection of plants will be dependent on how hot or cool, sunny or shady, the space gets.
Plants are important, but so is the overall ambience of a small-space garden. This tone is very often set by the choice of furniture, decorations and lighting.
Small bistro-style tables can instantly create a party-patio, European-vacation feel. Slender wicker furniture with a blanket or throw can create a cosy spot for reading. Colourful pots and accessories can add a festive, summery, tropical look. Subtle, ambient lighting, even basic candle lighting, can complete the mood and turn a small space into a private, restful sanctuary.
Kathy Friesen, owner of Bloomsbury Patio Gardens & Outdoor Rooms of New Westminster, has been designing small-space garden living spaces for more than a decade.
She says the biggest mistake people make is to use small "ankle-tripper" pots and furniture that's too large.
"The key is to use fewer, but larger pots, smaller furniture and stay away from those small pots that always seem to clip your ankles.
"Put a large pot in the corner - no one stands in corners - and put a trellis inside a lightweight fibreglass trough, which allows you to grow things up, as well as do something with good impact down low."
Friesen says she recommends using trellises because in most condo developments, residents are not allowed to attach things to the wall because that can interfere with the rain screening.
She also says window boxes that are designed to clip on to the railings of a balcony often don't fit.
"If they do, they are still problematic because they require regular watering and often the plants in them die."
For screening, she used evergreen Texas waxleaf privet (Ligustrum japonicum) that has been trained flat or Taxus baccate fastigiata 'Melford', a more columnar form of yew.
Espaliered fruit trees are another option, as well as evergreen jasmine trained into a fan or square shape.
At Potters garden centre at 3231 152nd Street, South Surrey, you will find a range of small-space gardening ideas presented, including a new item called the "drop in pot" in which an alreadypotted plant can be dropped into a more decorative pot to create and instant feature.
Bistro tables and chairs and slim-fit rectangular lightweight containers are also available.
One of the best new books on this topic is Small-Space Container Gardens by Fern Richardson who is an experienced balcony gardener with a knack for creating attractive gardens in limited spaces.
She liked transforming floor spaces into "anti-boring flooring" covering drab concrete with warmer wood decking or even by adding a more dramatic graphic black-and-white checkerboard pattern.
"A rug design for outdoor conditions is a good place to start," she says. "Your mind probably goes immediately toward sisal and other typical outdoor materials, but don't stop there. I've seen zebra print outdoor fabric with a rubberized backing that would definitely add some excitement beneath your feet."
In a light shade spot, a clever way to create dual-functionality, she says, is to evenly-space copper pipes into a planter and place a piece of Plexiglas on top to make a handy side table with the plants and flowers still visible below through the glass.
"Matching sets of table and chairs help the space, (especially if it's particularly small) look less cluttered," says Richardson.
"No matter the layout of your space or the style that you're seeking, you can find ways to make it feel bigger, and of course, better."

It's one of the more common questions we receive in the tasting room, and it's certainly one of the most debated questions in the modern wine industry; French Oak vs. American Oak, what's the story? Google "French Oak versus American Oak" and you'll call up hundreds upon hundreds of listings.
Recently, we received an e-mail from a gentleman who works in the fine wine retail business, and who is an extraordinarily knowledgable wine connoisseur. He was seeking some clarification from Eric Baugher, our winemaker here at Monte Bello, about pore size in American oak barrels, and I was fortunate enough to be included in the exchange. While the initial query seemed to be about a relatively specific topic, I found Eric's response to be very informative about the French vs. American oak debate in general, and I'd like to share some excerpts with you, in the hopes that his thoughts can help clarify some of the issues framing the debate, as well as impart a bit of information about our barrel program specifically:
"The key difference, as I've understood, French oak is considerably less dense. The porosity and void space in between cells is greater than American oak and thus the wine has greater extractive surface area. The French oak specie also contains about 10 times the concentration of ellagotannin compared to American specie, thus providing a wine greater tannin structure. American oak, by contrast, contains tylose within the cellular matrix. This fills in the void space and decreases the extractive surface. As a result, American oak has a higher density, slower extraction, and a clove/nutmeg type spiciness. It's also sweeter wood, containing about 5 times more complex 5-carbon carbohydrates and therefore a sweetness can also develop within wine aged in American oak cooperage.
The variety of experiences you describe in tasting American oak has much to do with the coopering selection of fine grain versus coarse grain staves in assembling their barrels. Another factor is the oak terroir, air-drying time and location, as well as coopering skills in bending staves and toasting. All these factors can greatly affect the integration of American oak flavors into wine. Poorly sourced wood, short drying time, and incorrect fire pot temperatures can make an American oak barrel taste planky, crude, and strong in dill and coconut shavings. The reason our American oak barrels perform so well, is that we take the time to work hand-in-hand with the coopers to specify forest, seasoning time, selection of fine grain, and toast level. We also carefully balance percentages of new oak and older cooperage, and match to the wine's concentration."
Thank you to Eric Baugher for sharing this information!
If anyone out there has questions about this subject, please feel free to send them across. I'll be posting more information about our barrel program soon, but in the interim, please keep the queries coming!

Published in the journal Genes and Development, the findings offer insight on the complex interaction between the genes and their contributions to leukemia, thereby providing the foundation for the design of targeted therapies. The study was conducted by primary authors Mathieu Tremblay, Ph.D. student and Cédric Tremblay, post-doctoral fellow in the Hematopoiesis and Leukemia Laboratory at the Université de Montréal and led by corresponding author and IRIC Principal Investigator, Trang Hoang.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent childhood cancers and affects lymphocytes, the cells in the body that normally fight infections. ALL starts when a single, immature white blood cell called a "blast" develops a series of mistakes or mutations that allow it to multiply uncontrollably. Eventually, these leukemic blasts take over the lymphoid organs, the bone marrow and crowd out normal blood cells.
While extensive research has been conducted over the years to understand this type of cancer, deciphering the complex process responsible for transforming normal cells into cancerous cells remains a challenge. In this study, researchers started from the well-known basis that the interaction between two genes, SCL and LMO, is involved at the onset of a specific type of ALL, called T-cell leukemia.
"We wanted to uncover the precise mechanism behind the process that causes a normal cell to become cancerous. Our study reveals that SCL and LMO expand the pool of immature lymphocytes, which proliferate intensively under the influence of a specific signal. These SCL-LMO-primed cells then acquire mutations in a third gene, Notch1, which is known to play a role in the majority of T-ALL patients," explains Trang Hoang. "In short, the synergy between these three genes in a permissive cell is sufficient to induce leukemia."
Although chemotherapy can cure up to 80 percent of ALL in children, researchers hope to minimize the side effects by designing new therapies that specifically target cancer causing genes. "The knowledge from our study could be instrumental in the development of less invasive cancer therapies," adds Dr. Hoang.

Congratulations to Justin Morneau for winning the Home Run Derby. Too bad the stories tomorrow aren't going to be about you and instead about Josh Hamilton's 28 longballs in the first, his tattoos, his rehab-induced dream about doing this, and his blow habit.
Since the winner of the Derby is kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme of sports, if MLB had their way, they'd have probably stopped the contest after Hamilton's 28. Unfortunately, they put these rules in place, and by gum, they're going to stick to them. As a result, Hamilton's reserve power stored in his arm ink finally dried up, and Morneau's five homers in the final was enough to beat the redeemed Ranger's three.
The All-Star Game can't be any better than tonight. Unless Hamilton his the game-winning home run or something. (Or if Rick Reilly is impressive on camera.) Because already his story dwarfs Rick Ankiel's comeback. ("Oh, you came back from ... sucking at pitching? Well, congratu-fucking-lations, I don't remember most of 2005.") Still, in case that game does top this contest, I'll be right here, live blogging that one too.

One of the best parts of The Sims 3: Pets is the ability to create your own custom coats for your pets in rich detail. Veterans of The Sims 2: Pets will feel right at home, but even new players will have no trouble using the intuitive tools. For a quick but complete look at the new tools, check out this tutorial video!
The central concept you need to know is a graphical term called "layering." Think of it as a bunch of stenciled pieces of paper: you lay one stenciled shape on the table, then lay another stenciled shape on top of it. Parts of the bottom one are covered, creating a wholly different shape.
Graphical layering works the same way. You have a marking, then lay another marking on top of it, blocking parts of the original but creating something new as a result. Creating custom coats for pets is a simple matter of knowing what layers and markings to lay on top of each other to create the exact look you're trying to achieve.
To start your coat, the panel you need to visit is the Coats panel (third button from the top) in the Create A Sim screen for pets. You then need to decide if you want to make something from scratch, or work with an existing coat. In practice, the controls are the same, but if you're working from an already existing coat, some of the markings will already be set.
Assuming you want to work from scratch, in the Coats panel, select the top-left coat, called Create Dog (or Cat or Horse). This gives you an all-gray animal with average features and no markings at all. Then, press the "Advanced Mode" button near the bottom of the panel.
The first thing you should notice is a new panel that opens in the top-right corner of the screen. This is the layers panel, which lists all the layers used for your pet, what's on each layer, and the color. Even though the layers panel lists only five, you can have as many layers as you want. The bottommost layer is the animal's base color and cannot be moved, but you can use the layers panel to drag-and-drop any layer any place you wish. Undo and redo buttons are located in the bottom-left corner of the screen, and will be extremely important!
In order to edit an existing layer, such as the base coat, simply click that layer in the layers panel. The icon will turn from a dim blue to a bright blue to indicate that it is selected. Then, you can recolor the layer—in this case, the animal's base coat—by clicking the small paintbrush button located near the bottom-right of the layers panel. Then, you can click the color wheel tab and select any of the 65,000 colors possible!
Once you're done editing a layer, in order to make a new marking of any kind, you must make a new, blank layer. Even if the two markings wouldn't touch—such as a marking on the front-left paw and another on the front-right—each marking must have its own layer. To add a layer, click the + button below the layers list. The newly added layer will be listed as the topmost layer, but can be moved anytime.
With a new layer selected, you can select a marking from the list in the top-left corner. There are two modes here, selectable by tabs. The first tab allows you to select a premade mark in a specific body part, which is useful if you're going for something realistic or symmetrical. You can either click your pet's body part directly, or click the appropriate body part in the top-left "animal map." If you're playing with a large resolution, it's probably easier to click the pet's body because some parts of the animal map can be a little small.
So let's say you wanted to add a marking to your pet's back. By clicking its back (or the back of the animal map), the left panel will then list all markings that shipped with the game. You can click any marking to instantly apply it. Once applied, you can then recolor it by clicking the paint brush over on the right side in the layers panel. It's pretty simple, and is no more complicated than editing a human Sim's head hair color.
Once you're satisfied with the marking, remember to create a new layer, then select another body part. Or, you can select the same body part to create a layering effect. For example, say your pet's base coat is black. You can add a marking on his legs to be all white, then add another marking to all his paws to be the same black. He'll then have white legs but paws that match his base coat, which can create a neat little effect.
To have greater control over the markings, you can use custom markings. To do that, in the left panel, click the second tab. This changes the animal map to an overhead and flattened view, like an animal rug. The list of markings changes to a collection of spots, stripes, stars, and other seemingly random shapes. Click one, and it will be added to the animal map, framed by a box with square "handles" in the corners. Then, you can click-drag it around to almost any part of the body (not the belly or chest) and use the handles to adjust its size. This way, you can place a marking in a very specific spot, such as a star on the animal's eye or a solid spot on the tip of the tail.
Any of these markings can be recolored as well to create the perfect look. Just remember to make a new layer before adding any other markings! If you ever slip and forget, your current layer will be replaced by whatever your newest selection was. If that happens, just click the undo button to get back to where you were.

37 comments :
Thanks. My mum has one of those fancy bottles and while I love the idea of foam soap, I wasn't willing to pay for one of those fancy bottles myself. I picked up a bottle of foam soap for the kids at the local $2 shop (so it has a cutesy label) and will be trying your recipe when the bottle is empty.ReplyDelete
Found you on the happy go lucky mingle party and glad I did....you've got a wonderful blog! I'm your newest follower! I'd love for you to come and visit my blog!ReplyDelete
This is such a great idea! I help to run another blog called the Hosanna Hill Project and we have a Frugal Tip Tuesday post each week. I was wondering if you'd let me share this/guest post for next Tuesday!?ReplyDelete
I've been doing is for a few years now... my face wash comes in a clear/green pump bottle, so when I empty one I remove the sticker and then I have another foam pump for elsewhere in the house... I also use it with shower gel.ReplyDelete
I also love that there is less mess than a pump when the kids use it!
Great idea! Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
Wow! I had no idea you could do that! What a great idea! I'll have to try it when my foamy soap runs out. Thanks for sharing at our Shine on Fridays party!ReplyDelete
This is great. I will do this to reuse the bottles i have once they run out.ReplyDelete
I'd love if you would come link this up at From Scratch Friday!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing it. I just paid way too much for the Method refill. Love the foam, but hated the price.ReplyDelete
I love this and have always wondered if you could use the soaps like that in the foam dispensers. Thanks for sharing. If you would like I would love to have you link it up at my linky party going on now at www.thesweettalkshop.com Smiles!!ReplyDelete
Wow, that's awesome, thanks!ReplyDelete
Fantastic! We go through so much soap it starts to get expensive- especially since I like the foam soap from BBW. Thanks for sharing at Manic Monday!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your soap tip at Bacon Time.ReplyDelete
What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing at Taking A Timeout Thursday!ReplyDelete
So smart!! I am going to try this for sure! Thank you for sharing with us at Link It UP Thursday.ReplyDelete
This is a great tip. I do the same thing. I must say though, that on occasion the tiny mesh part in the head gets clogged. I just take off the pumping part and wipe it clean. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
This is an awesome tip, thanks so very much! I found your blog from another site and I love it. I'm new to blogging I hope you'll check mine out, it's not as great as yours.ReplyDelete
this is a great tip! i've never heard of this! we have to try this! i love the foaming soap because it makes it easier for little hands to wash! thanks for linking up last week!ReplyDelete
just wanted to let you know that this was my fave post from last week's party! so it'll be featured!ReplyDelete
I had to run home and try this the same day I read it! It worked fabulously. Thank you so much for the tip. My husband loves foam soap, and I didn't want to have to keep buying special bottles of it. :) Very happy I found you!ReplyDelete
Now that is such a good idea. With 5 kids I am constantly filling up.ReplyDelete
I'm making this now! Thank you for the tip!!ReplyDelete
I tried this and the first few pumps worked great! However, the next day the only thing that would come of the pump was water. Did I do something wrong?ReplyDelete
hi very nice blog and very nice information and so cool.. I LOVE this product. I will most definitely buy this again.Now that is such a good idea. With 5 kids I am constantly filling upReplyDelete
Does the soap stop being foamy after you make it? Every time I do this, it ends up watery and never stays foamy. My family doesn't like it since it comes out as water. I follow the directions each time, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Usually the first few squirts are extra soapy for me, but it hasn't been watery. The only thing I can think of is if you have a regular pump soap dispenser - that would make it come out watery. Make sure you have a foam pump dispenser. I hope that helps. If not, I'm at a loss :(Delete
This is wonderful! I'll have to try it!ReplyDelete
I have been doing this for the past six months or so with some bottles i bought from walmart. They had a seasonal theme on them, so i left the plastic wrap on thru the season, and simply ripped the plastic label off, and when the store bought soap was gone, i started doing this with the large refill bottles... I had half a large bottle left and had bought another large bottle before i started refilling the foam pump bottles. I haven't broke into the new bottle yet! I still have a fourth of the first bottle left. I have one bathroom pump and one in the kitchen, but with me and three boys in the house and family visiting all the time it still lasts forever! It was definitely worth it to splurge on the foam pump dispensers!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have always wanted to do this but never gave it much more than a thought. This is simple and has me motivated. I love how not only will it save us money BUT helps the environment. THANK YOU BUNCHES!! :)ReplyDelete
I used your foam soap tutorial on my blog. I hope you don't mind (I made sure to credit your blog!).ReplyDelete
i was just wounder if this will work with dish soapReplyDeleteReplies
I bet it would, as long as you have a foam pump dispenser. I'd love to know how it works, let me know if you try it.Delete
It definitely does. I've been "making my own" for over a year now. Have never had an issue. I love it because I can make my own scents mixing the tropical and fruity ones together! =]Delete
- AnonymousMarch 26, 2013 at 4:47 PM
i just did it for my bathroom. bought a foam dispenser type in hopes this would work. i have a 4 1/2yr old little girl and she loves foam soap...well so do i. tried it, step by step & it works! super happy :) thanks!ReplyDelete
I just now am seeing this post from a link on your homepage. What a great idea! I pinned it :) I'm working on a post about making household items yourself (laundry detergent, etc.) - when I get farther along I may ask you about permission to include this. Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
pampered chef? pretty sure that bottle came from bath and body works, peach Bellini scent. LOL. pretty awesome post though!ReplyDelete
I bought just the real cheap dollar store $1 foam soap container- theirs stink, and refilled it with a "pretty soap" and ahhhh I love it!!! Works amazing!!ReplyDelete

Quotewhy not go for switch mode regulator?I'd love to do that. Our assembler is currently checking availability and price on a couple of parts, including the EUP3410 and EUP3452A on this page: http://www.eutechmicro.com/PL_9_11_EN.htmlIf it turns out I can go switchmode for a minimal impact on BOM cost (and it fits!) I'll do it.--Jon
why not go for switch mode regulator?
Cool idea. I wouldn't populate it by default, but watch crystals are tiny so I should be able to bring out a couple of pads to solder the flying leads onto. I'll give that a go.
Yes, that was exactly it. Plus an interrupt connection from the W5100 to the ATmega so you wouldn't have to poll the chip to know if someone was connected there. The reason for that is that with a big memory chip like the 1280 or 2560, there is a lot more space to put in a webpage and act as a server and not a client. Although I believe that this is also in the Ethernet shields so should be here too....This would add bulk to the board as you would need a latch and a lot more vias going around, so you wouldn't have such a compact PCB as you do now. .
However, my priorities would be fitting with the Mega dimensions, having the proto area, and compatibility with existing library.
If it turns out I can go switchmode for a minimal impact on BOM cost (and it fits!) I'll do it.
two connections on the TOSC pins in the chip.
What external memory bus? Care to elaborate?
I did this as well, however I had solder bridges to isolate those two IO pins ("after" the XTAL) because I figured with shields attached there would be a high capacitance on the traces due to the long runs/headers/etc.
I can understand someone wanting this (and so many other add-ons seem to compete for SPI). However, my priorities would be fitting with the Mega dimensions, having the proto area, and compatibility with existing library.
True... I made a comment just to put the idea out there for someone with the skills and tools to make boards. Like Graynomad said it is also possible to create all this in a shield form factor, although that would create a very big mix-up for newbies that don't understand how the external memory bus works (although it could be minimized with working libraries).
and at 20V it would almost certainly go into thermal shutdown
Doesn't the ATmega2560 have a similar function for temperature like the ATmega328?

text: Series will kick off in Montreal - The Province September 30, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next The Vancouver Whitecaps will open their USL-1 semifinal series against the Montreal Impact on the road. After the Caps' 5-4 aggregate win over the Minnesota Thunder on Sunday night, head coach Teitur Thordarson said the club was leaning toward opening at home, like they did against the Thunder. The tune changed late Sunday night after a team meeting. "After thinking about it, we decided to do it the other way," he said. "Montreal has to travel far [the Impact play a CONCACAF Champions League game in Honduras on Wednesday] anyway, and we can be [in Montreal] and prepare in a good way. "We might even get an advantage off it. And I've always felt that it's a good thing to play the second game at home, in terms of extra time and PKs." Vancouver's near-collapse Sunday in Minnesota -- where they lost the battle 4-3 after leading 3-1, but didn't lose the war -- might have further influenced the decision to get that second game at home. It's hard to see, though, how playing in such a timid environment, in front of an announced crowd of 3,811 that was more like 2,500, played a role in the momentum swing. As defender Jeff Clarke pointed out, that better not have affected them. "Compared to Minnesota, we're about to walk into a lion's den," he said of Montreal's Saputo Stadium. More than 11,000 packed in on Sunday to see the Impact pull out its quarterfinal series against the Seattle Sounders. Big defender Adam Braz was red-carded in that game and is suspended for Friday's clash with the Caps. email@example.com UNITED SOCCER LEAGUES First Division semifinal Whitecaps vs. Montreal Impact First leg: Friday, 5 p.m. PST, Saputo Stadium, Montreal; web radio: team990.com; Web TV: USLlive.com Second leg: Sunday, 3:30 p.m. PST, Swangard Stadium; radio: TEAM 1040 AM; TV: Fox Sports World Canada © The Vancouver Province 2008 Previous Next

The General Land Office (1812 - 1946) was an independent agency charged with the administration and sale of public lands of the western territories of the United States under the Preemption Act of 1841 and the Homestead Act of 1862. During a time of frenetic energy and rapid westward expansion, the Land Office oversaw the surveying, platting, mapping and eventually the sale of much of the Western United States and Florida. The structural layout of the western United States that we see today, and many of their district and county divisions, are direct result of the early surveying work of the General Land Office. More importantly, as a branch of the Federal Government in Washington D.C. and the only agency able to legally sell and administer public lands in the western territories of the United States, the General Land Office played a pivotal role in consolidating power away from the original states and into the hands of the centralized federal government. The General Land Office was absorbed into the Department of Interior in 1849 and in 1946 merged with the United States Grazing Service to become the Bureau of Land Management. Today the Bureau of Land Management administers the roughly 246 million acres of public land remaining under federal ownership.
Joseph R. Bien was a topographer and an engineer working the later part of the 19th century. His name appears a number of state and regional atlases, including the important 1895 Atlas of New York. Most of Joseph Bien's work was published in conjunction with the New York Lithographing, Engraving & Printing Company, which was founded by Julius Bien. Joseph was almost certainly related to Julien, though whether he was a son, cousin, or brother, remains unknown.

kvigsbo necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
2 vincitori sono stati selezionati tra 22 design presentati da 15 designer.
New logo and new design with blue/green/gray colors and web 2.0 layout.
Professional Web Solutions (not locked on that; your suggestions are welcome)
Desired Color Scheme:
Blue, green and gray (web 2.0)
Desired Style:
Web 2.0 blue, green and gray - lots of white space. Full width (100%) top section (nav and logo) and everything else fixed (1024) centered.
Accepted File Formats:
Business: Professional Web Solutions (design and development, no hosting)
Business started: 1995
The current design is a modified template with a home-made logo.
http://www.vigsbo.com -- current website
My project approach is very much like the folks at 37signals: elegant, sharp, subtle, less features, more white space and definitely web 2.0 in color and layout - so I need my new website and logo to reflect that.
New website design:
- Must be absolutely Web 2.0 in style.
- Must be table-based.
- Light blue/green/gray/white centered fixed-width (1024) design with horizontal tabbed menu.
- Tabs can be with square or round corners.
- I like a design with a full-width top section (logo and tab nav), but the rest in fixed width (1024).
- Very little 3D effects.
- Use of gradient backgrounds for page sections and menu acceptable.
- Placement of logo should be top left section (on white background) next to tabbed nav section.
- You only need to create the home page, but please include working tabbed navigation.
Websites I like (use as layout and color references):
- http://jogger.pl/ -- I really like how clean this website looks and tab navigation is done in pure CSS.
- http://resolio.com/app/ -- I like their color palette.
- http://www.pixel-house.com.au/ -- I like the fresh look of this website; don't like the navigation.
- Must be my last name (Vigsbo or vigsbo) with a small image/icon to the left.
- Could be a play on characters, but I would prefer blue/green web 2.0, sharp.
- Must be absolutely Web 2.0 in style.
- Colors: Blue, green, gray.
- Must look good scaled down for stationary and business cards.
This contest was originally listed in multiple categories:
- Logo Design
- Web Page Design (Coded)

Enjoy the balance while we can
The waning crescent moon rises around 3am Friday, its upper tip pointing to the red planet Mars, only five degrees away. Both shine within the faint stars of Cancer, home to the Beehive star cluster, which appears as a smudge of light a half-dozen degrees behind moon and planet. By 5am, the moon and Mars are well placed about 30 degrees high in the east.
And then, five minutes past 5:00, our whole world changes.
At 5:05am est, the sun hovers directly above the equator somewhere in Kenya, where it will be high noon. This is the moment of our autumnal equinox, when the sun crosses to the south side of the equator, turning its favor to the Southern Hemisphere, giving them their first day of spring. For us north-siders, it is the beginning of autumn and the decline of our daylight hours.
At equinox, the sun rises due east and sets due west all around the globe, with everyone's day split equally between day and night.
At the moment of equinox, it is one hour 50 minutes before sunrise for us. But at that same instant, as the sun hovers over the equator in noon-time Africa, it is rising in lower South America and setting in the South Pacific, while it is midnight in Alaska.
While daylight and darkness are balanced for the moment, it doesn't last. Within a week we'll have lost 10 minutes of daylight, while come Halloween, darkness will rule by almost 90 minutes.
You can see the geometry behind this in the shrinking distance between the points of sunrise and sunset from now until solstice. As the sun rises later each day, it rises farther to the south of due east, and as it sets earlier, the point where it dips beneath the horizon is farther south of due west each night. Against the sphere of our sky, this southward movement literally decreases the distance the sun travels from one side to the other.

In our regular Sunday feature, FIFA.com presents you with some of the biggest names in football who will be celebrating their birthdays over the coming week.
26. Andre (36) made a name for himself in beach soccer circles by taking part in every FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup since 2006 with Brazil, contributing to their four consecutive victories between 2006 and 2009. At Ravenna 2011, the Brazilians suffered a surprising defeat to Russia in the final, but that did not prevent Andre from finishing top goalscorer in the competition. His overall record at the entertaining event makes for impressive reading: 29 matches, 28 wins, 35 goals.
27. Johan Elmander (32) is regarded as one of the best forwards to come out of Sweden over the last decade. With his national side, he participated in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ as well as the UEFA European Championships of 2008 and 2012. At the outset of his career, he appeared at the 2004 UEFA European U-21 Championship, where he ended up top scorer. The talented striker has also enjoyed success at club level, securing silverware in several different countries. After starting out in Sweden with Holmalunds and Orgryte, he signed for Feyenoord, with whom he lifted the UEFA Cup. A subsequent loan spell at Djurgardens saw Elmander win two Swedish League titles and a Swedish Cup. He then defended the colours of Dutch outfit NAC Breda and of Brondby, helping the Danish side to claim the domestic league and cup, as well as of Toulouse and of Bolton Wanderers. The Swedish international joined current club Galatasaray in 2011, and has since earned winners' medals in two Turkish League campaigns and one Turkish Cup final
28. Hannah Wilkinson (21) may only be in the early stages of her career, but she has already established herself in the New Zealand women's national team, starring at the FIFA World Cup Germany 2011™, where she scored a late equalising goal against Mexico to help her country earn their first and only point of the competition. The precocious striker also represented the Football Ferns three times at the Women's Olympic Football Tournament in 2012, but could not prevent her side from succumbing to the might of the United States in the quarter-finals. In addition, she has two FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup campaigns under her belt, in 2010 and 2012. Wilkinson started off playing at university level in the USA, before returning to New Zealand to play for Glenfield Rovers, and then for North Force.
29. Arne Friedrich (34) competed at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and at two FIFA World Cups (2006 and 2010) with Germany, finishing third on each occasion. In 2008, the versatile defender came close to triumphing at the UEFA European Championship, but Spain proved too strong in the final. Despite this disappointment, the Germans' good performances at the event helped to make up for their poor UEFA EURO 2004 campaign. Friedrich began his career with amateur outfit Verl, before moving to Arminia Bielefeld and then to Hertha Berlin. It was with the club from the capital that he truly rose to prominence, propelling his team-mates to lift the German League Cup and the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Following a subsequent season at Wolfsburg, he committed himself to current team Chicago Fire.
30. Akwa (36) can look back with pride on a career in which he played a key role in Angola's maiden qualification for the FIFA World Cup, in 2006. At the tournament proper in Germany, he appeared in all three of the Palancas Negras' group matches, from which they emerged with the creditable record of two draws and a defeat. The forward also took part in two CAF Africa Cup of Nations events, in 1996 and 2006. Akwa played for Benfica, Alverca and Academica de Coimbra in Portugal before packing his bags for Qatar, where he hoisted the Crown Prince Cup and finished top scorer in the league with Al Wakrah. After joining Qatar SC, he added another national championship and two further Crown Prince Cups to his footballing CV, but then chose to return to Al Wakrah. The African striker was named Angolan Player of the Year in 2006.
31. Christopher Dawes (38) was involved in the Jamaican national side's most remarkable achievement, namely qualifying for the 1998 FIFA World Cup France. He also played in two CONCACAF Gold Cups with the Reggae Boyz, finishing fourth in 1998. The disciplined defender donned the colours of several clubs during his career, including Jamaican outfit United Galaxy and MLS side Colorado Rapids. After hanging up his boots, Dawes moved into coaching.
1. Hawar Mulla Mohammed (32) is one of Iraqi football's greatest stars, having helped his national team to achieve some truly memorable feats. After having represented his nation at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2001, he played a key role in the side that finished fourth at the Olympic Football Tournament at Athens 2004. With the senior team, the pacey wide man turned out at the AFC Asian Cups of 2004 and 2007, emerging victorious against the odds at the latter competition. This laudable accomplishment provided the Lions of Mesopotamia with a berth at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. Mohammed turned professional with Mosul in his homeland, prior to inspiring Bagdad-based Al Quwa Al Jawiya to league glory. He then exported his skills to Lebanon, where he landed a domestic league and cup double with Al Ansar of Beirut. After putting pen to paper with Apollon Limassol, with whom he held aloft the Cypriot Super Cup, he enjoyed spells with UAE side Al Ain and Qatari club Al Khor. A return to Cyprus saw the much-travelled Iraqi reach the group stage of the UEFA Champions League with Anorthosis Famagusta. He took advantage of the opportunity to become the first player from Iraq to score in Europe's flagship club contest. He was then transferred to Iranian giants Persepolis, where he won the Hazfi Cup. Stints with Esteghlal and Zob Ahan followed, as did a return to Iraq and a contract with Erbil Sports Club.

In this exciting, one hour webinar you will hear Dr. Ritsco discuss his first two years of providing TruDenta care including:
Learning Objectives:
Patients search online for relief from the symptoms of force imbalance 297% more often than for all dental services combined!
TruDenta will add $100,000 to your practice in the first year. Some add more than $1,000,000 per year from TruDenta alone.
Elements of TruDenta are being used by orthodontists in every case start, adult and pedi, conventional braces and Invisalign.
Watch a 3 minute video to learn how TruDenta can add $100,000+ in collections in the first year and attract new patients.
In many cases, only dental professionals can help the estimated 80 million Americans suffering from the painful symptoms caused by improper dental forces, called dentomandibular sensorimotor dysfunction (DMSD).
READ MORE "...it is imperative to include the training for orofacial pain, particularly those from temporomandibular joint and musculoligamentous tissues." JADA Cover Story, 10/2015, Vol. 146, Issue 10, Pg. 721-728
20% of your existing patients suffer from DMSD, as do 20% of all Americans. Your team members quickly assess patients for "red flags" (which indicate DMSD), utilizing TruDenta's patented technologies.
The National Institutes of Health estimate that over 80 million Americans suffer from one or more of the symptoms of DMSD, including:
• Chronic Headache
• Migraine
• Tinnitus
• Vertigo
TruDenta uses digital force measurement technology, powered by Tekscan®, for evaluating the amount of bite force that is present during closure, at closure, and while chewing. The technology is so advanced that it actually calculates the bite force and motion on a tooth-by-tooth basis. This digital exam literally shows a movie of the bite force in action revealing abnormal forces in the nerves, muscles and ligaments that are often the cause of symptoms.
Bite balance is also calculated to identify potential issues within the overall chewing system. READ MORE
A normal opening for an adult is 53 mm to 57 mm. Limited or restricted range of motion (less than 40 mm) is a reduction in an individual's ability for normal range of movement. Along with opening movement, an individual should be able to slide their jaw to the left and to the right at least 25 percent of their total mouth opening in a symmetrical fashion.
When restricted movement exists, an imbalance in the system is present, and breakdown of the system is likely to occur. READ MORE
The TruDentaROM is a system of hardware and software that digitally measures cervical range of motion (ROM) impairment based upon AMA guidelines. This directly affects the proprioceptive feedback system of the dental occlusion, TMJ, and the muscles of mastication.
ROM impairment is another "red flag" which assists doctors in accurately diagnosing symptoms that are often dental force related. This data enhances medical insurance collections and the collaboration with referring medical doctors. READ MORE
A typical case requires less than one hour of doctor time in the diagnosis and minor occlusal adjustments during the rehabilitation period.
Treatments are performed by a trained team member once per week, in less than one hour. The most severe cases require 12 treatments. Therapies are spa-like, non-invasive and require no drugs or needles. Most patients report dramatic results after the very fist treatment. Note: The majority of patients utilize an orthotic only during the treatment period, up to a maximum of 12 weeks. READ MORE
The goal of therapeutic ultrasound treatment is to return circulation to sore, strained muscles through increased blood flow and heat. Another goal is to break up scar tissue and deep adhesions through sound waves.
Therapeutic exposure to ultrasound reduces trigger point sensitivity and has been indicated as a useful clinical tool for managing myofacial pain. Additionally, ultrasound also has been shown to evoke antinociceptive effects on trigger points. READ MORE
Sub-threshold microcurrent stimula¬tion reduces muscle spasm and referral pain through low electrical signal. It also decreases lactic acid build-up and encourages healthy nerve stimulation. In particular, microcurrent electrotherapy has been shown to help increase mouth opening significantly.
• Reduces muscle spasm and referral pain through low electrical signal
• Decreases lactic acid build-up
• Encourages healthy nerve stimulation
• Increases mouth opening significantly
Low level laser/light therapy is one of the most widely used treatments in sports medicine to provide pain relief and rehabilitation of injuries. Over 200 randomized clinical trials have been published on low level laser therapy, half of which are on pain.
Low level laser/light therapy decreases pain and inflammation, accelerates healing of muscle and joint tissue 25 to 35 percent faster than without treatment, and reconnects neurological pathways of nerves to the brain stem, thereby inhibiting pain. READ MORE

Rather than just asking your son if he's gay, there's an app you ask, instead.
In Google's Android app store there's a download called "Is Your Son Gay?" -- and it's only 99 cents. In 20 easy questions, parents can determine their son's sexualtiy. The app has, predictably, caused an internet furor.
"Does he like sports?" "Does he like diva music?" "Are you divorced?"
U.S. & World
Eliza Byard, executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Educational Network, denounced the app with, "The questions in this app are horrendous stereotypes that would be completely laughable if they weren't so dangerous."
The French developer of the app swears it is mean in jest, and is not to be taken (too?) seriously.
Recently, however, Lady Gaga dedicated an entire concert to one of her fans that committed suicide after being harassed for being gay by classmates.
Another critic wonders how well the app predicts homosexuality.
"We hope the app is accurate. We wouldn't want any mother to be disappointed," Ben Summerskill, CEO of gay charity, Stonewall, told the (London) Daily Mail.
And for 99 cents he can find out.

In our annual poll of executives at leading analysis and simulation software companies, we asked about the economic situation's effect on the market, the pros and cons of virtual prototyping, and how software vendors are helping customers do more with less. Here's what they had to say about market trends for 2011, and maintaining competitive advantages in a challenging business market.
Doing More With Less
Last year, the executives we polled discussed the challenging economic environment and how their customers were being forced to do more with less, including a reduced staff of analysts and qualified simulation experts. But today, while the economy is still struggling, companies are using more simulation and it is being performed by both experts and designers/engineers.
"Engineers have historically been expert in a specific area of simulation. They would run one case at a time with time available to double-check their work," said Mike Peery, president and CEO of Tecplot. "Today, simulations are being run more and more by generalists – the engineers who are a direct part of the design process – and they are tasked with doing many things." As a result, added Peery, the easier the software is to use, the better. "We worked to make our tool easy to learn and apply. After all, specialists appreciate fast learning curves as much as any professional with a heavy workload."
Jim Spann, vice president of marketing for Blue Ridge Numerics, agrees that experts and "generalists" are collaborating more to produce more and faster simulations. "Experienced analysts are taking advantage of new collaboration and customization tools that allow them to share knowledge, participate in design reviews, and build templates for use by design engineers. This removes a lot of the learning curve for the designer and helps ensure every simulation follows pre-defined guidelines that will yield consistent results."
This broader community of simulation users also has benefits for managers. "The economic situation has focused organizations on several needs, including not only efficiency, but on their competitive situation," said Dale Berry, director of technical marketing for Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA. "What we see is not that designers are taking up analysis tasks instead of dedicated analysts. Rather, designers are now being asked to leverage and re-use methods previously developed and validated by expert groups." As a result, said Berry, "The work is not shifting to designers from analysts, but is expanding as designers discover the value of the experts' methods."
"Innovation is enabled by using simulation up-front in conceptual analysis and design, as well as by broadening the user community beyond a core group of specialized analysts," added Dipankar Choudhury, vice president of corporate product strategy and planning for ANSYS. "As the simulation community expands, there is a continued need for experts who understand deep, comprehensive physics concepts and how to best deploy the simulation tools to a broader base. At the same time," Choudhury explained, "not every user will require the same level of technology because he or she may not have the need to model complex physics."
So while the simulation user base is expanding and evolving, so is the software. According to Bruce Klimpke, technical director of Integrated Engineering Software, "There is a trend by senior R&D managers to acquire software that the design engineer can learn quickly. This requires the results of the simulation to match reality with very little room for error. This is especially true in organizations where simulation results are followed by production." While the current economy is speeding up this trend, said Klimpke, it is the natural evolution of simulation software.
This evolution means there are more diverse users of simulation and analysis software, which should, in turn, help both the software vendors and their customers. "The primary effect of the current economy is on the amount of simulation being done," said David L. Vaughn, vice president of worldwide marketing for CD-adapco. "It seems everyone has realized that simulation is the key to reducing product development costs by reducing or eliminating physical prototyping and testing."

What is a word describing the outer limit of a space or experience?
The "periphery" describes the outer range of a space or experience. Someone on the periphery of war, for instance, may see a bombing on the horizon but not be directly affected by the damage it causes. The word "purview" may seem quite similar, but it refers to the full range of a person's experience or knowledge, not just the outer limits.

Many women worry obsessively about developing cancer, particularly breast or ovarian cancer. But, while these are obviously of concern, their actual risk of having either of these is far lower than is their major risk of having or dying from cardiovascular disease. In fact, heart disease is the number one killer of women and is responsible for more deaths in women than all cancers combined!
The numbers show that the risk of dying from heart disease is about 10 times higher than dying from breast cancer and about 20 times higher than dying from ovarian cancer. And that's not even counting the deaths from stroke, a related problem, which would just magnify the overshadowing risk that cardiovascular disease presents in relation to cancer (stroke is usually related to the 'vascular' part of cardiovascular disease). Contrary to popular belief, heart disease, unfortunately, isn't just a problem for men.
The good news is that heart disease is one of the most preventable illnesses. Here's how you can reduce your risk:
• Avoid smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease and lung cancer (which causes more deaths than all other cancers combined)
• Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products that's also low in red meat, fats and simple carbohydrates like sugar (including drinks and other products containing high-fructose corn syrup)
• Exercise regularly - as little as walking for 30 minutes a day can be significant
• Get screened for and then control other heart disease-related conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol
• Limit the amount of alcohol you drink
• Take a low dose of aspirin daily if you are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (talk to your doctor about whether this is important for you)
• If you have a strong family history of heart disease be aware that this increases your own risk and use this awareness as motivation to follow the lifestyle changes recommended above.

Thomas traveled to A-Z West from NY, in part to make progress on the Wagon Station Vacation this weekend. On Saturday he rigged up this experimental door opener for the drop down front hatch. The hatch is tricky because it was originally designed to open upward, but Jonas re-engineered it to drop down so that it can function as steps or seating. The only problem with this is that the entire thing is ungodly heavy and two very strong people can barely open and close it. Thomas has been trying to figure out a fool-proof (non people squashing) mechanism so that one person can safely open and close the door. Right now the verdict is still open between the pulley system shown here, hydraulic lift system that TKs dad might be able to engineer, and some sort of a boat winch.

Diabetic Retinopathy: Your Questions Answered
Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes and the leading cause of new-onset blindness in American adults. Effective treatments are available to preserve vision for eyes at risk of vision loss from diabetic retinopathy. The most opportune time for these treatments is before any vision has been lost, since even advanced diabetic retinopathy can be present when a person has no vision complaints or problems.
What causes diabetic retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina, the thin, light-sensitive inner lining in the back of your eye. These changes are called diabetic retinopathy.
How does diabetes damage the vessels in the retina?
Elevated levels of blood glucose can damage the body in various ways, including harming the blood vessels in your eyes. Diabetes can affect the lining of the blood vessels in your eyes, causing them to thicken and develop leaks. Poor circulation in the retinal vessels can compound these problems by causing the production of fragile new vessels.
What are the stages of retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is broadly classified as nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy and proliferative retinopathy. After 20 years of diabetes, most persons with diabetes will shows some signs of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, which is generally not sight-threatening itself unless macular edema is present. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a more serious stage of retinopathy and poses a greater risk of hemorrhage into the vitreous humor, the clear gel that fills the center of the eye, or detachment of the retina leading to severe vision loss. Diabetic macular edema can occur with either nonproliferative or proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
There are various levels of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy that your eye doctor can identify. In nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, elevated blood glucose can cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina. These vessels can leak blood or fluid. When fluid collects in the central part of the retina, blurred vision may occur—this is called macular edema. Macular edema can be treated with laser surgery when central vision is threatened.
A more dangerous stage of diabetic eye disease is proliferative retinopathy. During this stage, abnormal blood vessels grow over the surface of the retina. These fragile blood vessels may rupture and bleed into the vitreous humor. Vitreous hemorrhages may block the passage of light to the retina and loss of vision or even blindness may occur. In addition, these fragile blood vessels cause scar tissue, which may pull on the retina and cause the retina to detach from the back of the eye.
Can diabetic retinopathy be cured?
Diabetic retinopathy cannot be cured but effective treatments have been established that preserve vision and dramatically reduce the risk of vision loss. These treatments include laser treatments and vitrectomy surgery. Additionally, it is crucial to note that tight blood glucose control and control of accompanying conditions such at high blood pressure, kidney disease, elevated cholesterol, anemia, and obesity greatly reduce the risk of onset and progression of diabetic retinopathy.
How is diabetic retinopathy treated?
Your eye doctor may suggest laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy. Drs. Lloyd M. Aiello and William P. Beetham performed early pioneering development of laser surgery for the treatment of diabetic eye disease at the Joslin Diabetes Center. During laser photocoagulation, the ophthalmologist focuses a laser light beam on the retina. This laser scars the areas of the retina to stop the formation of new blood vessels and to shrink any new vessels that are present. Laser photocoagulation is also used to seal leaking blood vessels that may cause edema or swelling in the macula area of the eye. Laser surgery and appropriate follow-up care can reduce the risk of blindness by 90 percent. The primary goal of laser surgery is to prevent further vision loss and not to restore vision that has already been lost, which is why finding diabetic retinopathy early is the best way to prevent vision loss.
Does laser treatment hurt?
Laser treatment generally is not painful but may cause some temporary discomfort. The laser surgery is done on an outpatient basis in the ophthalmologist's office. After treatment, some people may experience a slight decrease in vision or it may become more difficult to adjust to darkness, a side effect that diabetes itself may cause. But the overall benefits of the laser treatment far outweigh these relatively minor drawbacks.
What if a hemorrhage has already occurred?
Serious cases of eye damage in people with diabetes can be treated. If a hemorrhage does occur and vision is lost, or if the scar tissue threatens to detach the retina from the back of the eye, vitrectomy surgery can successfully restore vision.
A vitrectomy is performed under either local or general anesthesia. The doctor makes a tiny incision in the eye. Next, a small instrument is used to remove the vitreous gel that is clouded with blood. The vitreous gel is replaced with a salt solution. Because the vitreous gel is mostly water, you will notice no change between the salt solution and the original vitreous gel.
You will probably be able to return home after the vitrectomy and you will need to wear an eye patch for a few days to protect your eye. You also will need to use medicated eye drops to protect against infection. Thanks to this procedure, many people who once were blind can now see.
What can you do to protect your vision?
Finding and treating the eye disease early, before it causes vision loss or blindness, is the best way to control eye disease in people with diabetes. So if you have diabetes, make sure you receive a comprehensive dilated eye examination at least once a year. Also, keep good control of your glucose levels and other health problems such as high blood pressure, kidney disease, and elevated cholesterol.
The Beetham Eye Institute is located at the Joslin Diabetes Center. The Beetham is dedicated to providing total eye care services that prevent, diagnose, and treat eye problems related to diabetes. For more information about The Beetham Eye Institute, please click here.
