Book Review: MIDNIGHT MOVIE by Tobe Hooper
Another thing it might take a few viewings to appreciate is the film's sense of humor. There's a lot in TCM that is extremely funny--the slapstick of Franklin's roll down the hill with a can of pee in his hand, the insult-comic banter of the Hitchhiker and the Father, some of Leatherface's non-violent antics, and of course the Bronx cheers. But again, for many, these things get overwhelmed by all the terror and intensity of the rest of the film. As I watched the other night, I was struck by how pervasive Hooper's (admittedly twisted) sense of humor is, even in what many consider his most "serious" work.
I mention these things because I recently got to read an advance copy of Tobe Hooper's first novel, Midnight Movie, now available from Three Rivers Press, a division of Random House. It's a wild ride, an extremely enjoyable read, and a work that, like his most famous film, benefits from both the expansive scale afforded by a work of literature, and from its author's strange sense of humor.
In the novel, an eccentric festival organizer in in Austin, Texas, has discovered a pristine print of Destiny Express, one of Tobe Hooper's early films that had been thought lost. Hooper comes for the screening, despite having lost all memory of the film in question due to a car accident in his youth. A motley group of other characters, whom we get to know through interviews, blog entries, emails and even Twitter tweets, also converge at the festival.
But Destiny Express is no ordinary film, and once the screening is over, strange things start to happen to those in attendance. A previously virginal girl becomes a man-eating nymphomaniac, spreading a strange and completely disgusting STD in her wake. An undercover terrorism expert goes over to the other side and plans an attack. And a journalist starts getting up at night to move at high speed through the city, infecting loners everywhere with the strange plague that turns them into violent, rotting, and extremely horny zombies. As Hooper and his new friends Erick Laughlin and Janine Daltrey try to discover whether Hooper's film is responsible for the outbreak, and if so how they can stop it, the plague spreads into neighboring cities and threatens to overwhelm the country.
The novel is told as a series of interviews, newspaper articles, blog posts and emails, an epistolary history of the apocalyptic aftermath of Destiny Express's screening. This gives the book a quick-reading, conversational style that carries you along easily through increasingly wild and bizarre happenings. Hooper writes himself as crusty, cynical, and world-weary but with a cutting wit, an aging hippie for whom movie-making is the only thing worth doing. And while he is the hero of his own story, he doesn't let himself off the hook, just as often having a bitter laugh at himself as at other targets.
The other characters are engaging and often funny, the plot just keeps getting wilder and more disgusting, and while the final explanation of the apocalypse may seem a little easy,the heroes' last-gasp attempt to stop it is a not-so-subtle parable that should please those aspiring artists who still believe movies can save the world.
For fans of Hooper's movies, Midnight Movie is a double treat: it gives us a chance not only to live in the director's head and hear his sardonic thoughts on everything from horror festivals to the film-pitching process to his own work and that of his directorial contemporaries. (We also get a healthy dose of his possibly justified antiestablishment paranoia.) And it also a chance to "see" a Hooper movie too big and expensive ever to be put on screen--the plot is definitely more Lifeforce than Texas Chain Saw Massacre*.) The book is easy reading, which is damned hard writing--Hooper and collaborator Alan Goldsher bring the director's voice out in an engaging, funny way that keeps you turning pages. Hooper is at his strongest when presenting the interviews in a cinematic way, cutting back and forth for sometimes comedic effect. He's at his weakest, though, when emulating news reports and articles, which don't really read like the real thing.
In closing, I thoroughly recommend Hooper's Midnight Movie for fans of the director and fans of horror literature alike. There's sex, violence, gags and gross-outs, sometimes inelegant but never boring. 2.5 thumbs. Here's hoping this won't be the last time Hooper exchanges his camera for a pen.
*Nota bene: In a crushing blow to horror snobs around the world, Hooper repeatedly and consistently refers to his own 1974 masterpiece as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, eliding the space between the "n" and "s" that such scholars have clung to for proof of their erudition. On the bright side, now we can all get over it and move on.

I had a similar experience recently watching The Funhouse -- there's some automata on the rides and set design in there that's just lovely, and a few Bava-style set pieces that make for such a gorgeous contrast to the creepy carnival stuff and the deformed cow (from my hometown!). Not to mention wanting to grow up to be Marco the Magnificent. I'll definitely have to check this out -- I'm on vacation and absolutely up for something like this.

@Worsel--thanks! MIDNIGHT MOVIE is definitely a good breezy summer read. Better hurry though, Summer's almost over!
@db--I saw THE FUNHOUSE on the big screen a few years ago, and THAT one really benefits from the scale. Hooper makes great use of the frame in many places, esp. in that NOSFERATU-inspired scene where the shadow of the Freak comes bleeding up the walls of the a/c duct where one of the victims is hiding. Chilling!
Truth be told, THE FUNHOUSE is probably my favorite Hooper flick. I understand that TCM is a better movie, and a more important movie, but FUNHOUSE is the one I have watched again and again and never tired of. In fact, I may have to spin it one more time this week. :)

I've seen TCM on the big screen with Gunnar Hansen presiding and it was a hilarious affair indeed. A lot was called in to question about his wardrobe and hairstyle when he portrayed Leatherface, and hilarious anecdotes ensued.
As for this novel, I loved the hell out of it! I was gorey and oozy and sexy and repugnant and just shy of you imagine Hooper to actually interact. That promoter with is bologna odor and constant burping an farting is enough to induce nausea, let alone the images conjured from The Game. And the fact that an indie movie could inspire such chaos. Love it!
Could not get enough of this and finished it in a few hours! Amazing bit of meta-fiction, albeit not entirely meta.

Man, I knew I should have picked this up at Borders when it was clearanced out. Definitely going to have to check this out.

Frank Bowling
A graduate of the Royal College of Art alongside David Hockney in 1962, British Guyana-born artist Frank Bowling hasn't enjoyed the same level of recognition as some of his peers. But in 2005, he was named the first ever black Royal Academician (itself a damning indictment of persisting hierarchies) and is finally the subject of some decent solo shows here, including a big room at Tate Britain.
Is this renewed interest in Bowling an overzealous attempt to correct the injustices of art history? Is it just another case of the art world turning its whimsical fancy to an overlooked septuagenarian with an intriguing life story? Or, is Bowling's abstraction really worth the looking back?
Bowling's overriding concerns have always been colour and materials. At Tate, the display consists of his poured works in which the artist tipped acrylic directly onto a painted canvas – a process he's tantalisingly called 'wet into wet' – before tilting the surface to guide the paint as it gushed downwards. He completed such vertiginous, upright pictures as 'Rosebushtoo' and 'Julia' from 1973 to '78 while living between London and New York, where he came into contact with American artists such as Barnett Newman and, later, Larry Poons.
Far from derivative, however, Bowling's surfaces overflow with a kaleidoscopic confection that's too good to be contained, conjuring words like cascading, oozing, swirling and coagulating which also fall short of capturing what they actually look like. This feels like real art, the kind you have to see in the flesh and up close.
The works at Hales are all recent, the paint so thickly applied that it has captured sponges, cloths, fork heads and studio debris in pools of gathered material. The drips, drabs and brushstrokes consume the entire canvas, resulting in a more polished composition but one in which the physical presence of the artist, and his actions, are diminished in comparison to the glacial dripping simplicity of the earlier poured paintings. Bowling is one of a lost generation of black British artists but what these two shows prove is that he's an undeniable master of his medium and that he hasn't yet lost it.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Residents have one more week to participate in an online survey on the City budget now available at lincoln.ne.gov. The "Taking Charge" survey focuses on programs and services that are in danger of being eliminated or reduced in the 2009-2010 budget. It will remain on the City Web site until 5 p.m. Friday, May 15.
The City is working with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center (PPC) on the current survey, which will take about 20 to 25 minutes to complete. Those taking the survey will answer a series of questions selected at random from a larger pool. Specific topics include Library services; pools and other Parks and Recreation programs and facilities; health programs to prevent injury and disease; Police services; stormwater, floodplain and development review; and snow removal.
Those taking the survey also will have the opportunity to indicate their willingness to participate in an in-depth discussion about the City's budget scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, May 16 at UNL's East Campus. Mayor Chris Beutler and City Directors will attend. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited, so those interested in participating in the discussion should complete the survey and register as soon as possible. More information about the discussion is available from the PPC's Web site, ppc.nebraska.edu, or by calling 472-5678. Funding for the project comes from an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to the PPC. Participants in the May 16 discussion will be compensated $35 for their time and input.
The Mayor is scheduled to make his decisions on the 2009-2010 City budget in May, and the budget is released to the public in June. The City Council votes on tentative changes to the Mayor's budget in July. The public hearing and Council adoption of the budget are scheduled for August.

Arsenal can reach the UEFA Champions League's knockout stage for the 11th year in a row when they host Marseille.
Arsene Wenger's side – who have qualified for Europe's premier club competition for the last 16 seasons – have enjoyed an impressive record in the competition in recent years, despite failing to win it.
And they will hope to seal their place in the last 16 on Tuesday, with victory set to continue their excellent start to the season.
The Emirates Stadium outfit top the Premier League by four points after winning nine of their first 12 league fixtures, while three wins from four Group F encounters sees them at the summit in Europe as well.
Key to Arsenal's form has been the efforts of Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud, with the former having netted 11 goals in all competitions so far this season.
Ramsey's contribution from midfield has been crucial for a side who are still short on firepower beyond Giroud.
The 27-year-old Frenchman netted both goals in the 2-0 Premier League win over Southampton on Saturday, taking his tally to 10 for the season, but the club's fans will be hopeful of a new signing arriving in January to give him some support.
Winger Theo Walcott returned from an abdominal injury off the bench in the win against Southampton and is a welcome inclusion for a side still missing the likes of Lukas Podolski (hamstring), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and midfielder Abou Diaby (both knee).
Arsenal won the first meeting between these two sides in France in September, with goals from Walcott and Ramsey giving them a 2-1 success on the road.
They also met twice in the 2011-12 Champions League, and although the fixture in London ended goalless, Ramsey got a late winner in a 1-0 victory for Arsenal in France.
While Arsenal top the group with nine points, Marseille are rock-bottom and are yet to get off the mark after losing all four of their matches so far.
Qualification is now beyond them, but coach Elie Baup will be looking for his side to restore some pride.
A winless run of seven matches put serious pressure on Baup, but successive Ligue 1 triumphs over Sochaux and Ajaccio have now lifted Marseille to fourth in the table.
Youngster Florian Thauvin scored in Friday's 3-1 win at Ajaccio, his seventh goal in six matches for club and country.
Thauvin also netted a hat-trick and provided two assists for France's Under-21s in a 6-0 romp against Armenia earlier this month.
Marseille have won just once in their 11 Champions League visits to England, losing six, and they will be without forward Andre Ayew, who could miss the next two months with a knee injury, while Rod Fanni (muscle strain) is also sidelined.
Lucas Mendes could return from an ankle injury though, after he was an unused substitute at Ajaccio.

- Customer Reviews
- Questions and Answers
Product Features
- Retina Display: an awesome display of progress
The key to the iPad experience is the display. It's how you interact using multi-touch, and how you view content in spectacular detail.
- Four speaker audio: no matter how you turn it, you'll want to turn it up
With a high-fidelity speaker in each corner, iPad Pro creates a rich, wide, and detailed soundstage. It automatically adjusts the orientation of the high frequencies to the topmost speakers, no matter how you're holding it. So whether you're playing a game or watching a movie, you - and your ears - will be completely immersed.
- A9X chip: faster than a speeding laptop
The 64-bit A9X chip gives iPad Pro the power to easily take on tasks once reserved for workstations and PCs. Not to mention tasks you'd never consider doing on a PC. Despite this barrier-breaking performance, the A9X chip's efficient architecture enables up to 10 hours of battery life.
- Quicker work
With up to 1.8 times the CPU performance of iPad Air 2, the A9X chip delivers incredible responsiveness. Even complex actions like editing 4K video happen immediately and with unparalleled smoothness.
- More beautiful play
iPad Pro offers up to double the graphics performance of iPad Air 2. That means it can render incredibly detailed visuals, fluid animations, and effects so real, you'll lose yourself in your favorite apps and games.
- A game changer
Metal optimizes CPU and graphics like nothing else. So developers can design even more highly immersive console-style games and blazing-fast apps.
- iSight and FaceTime HD cameras: capture every detail in greater detail
iPad Pro has remarkable cameras on both the front and the back. It's also the first iPad with True Tone flash, so skin tones look great regardless of lighting. Things are sharper on the other side of iPad Pro, too. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera's sensor makes video calls more lifelike.
- Design: incredible power has never been so easy to handle
Even though iPad Pro can handle tasks usually reserved for PCs, it's lighter than any PC could hope to be. And thanks to the aluminum unibody, it feels reassuringly solid in the hand.
- Fast wireless connectivity
iPad Pro can connect to the fastest Wi-Fi networks so you can surf the web, stream movies and share documents from virtually anywhere.
- Touch ID: the password is you
iPad Pro uses Touch ID technology to turn your fingerprint into an unforgettable password. So you can unlock your device with just a touch. You can also make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store. And with Apple Pay, you can make purchases within your apps easily and securely.

California state law requires that all students have an education plan. There are two types; an Abbreviated Ed Plan (1 to 2 semesters to get you started) and a Comprehensive Ed Plan (laying out all of the courses you need to reach your goal).
Having an ed plan keeps you on track to reach your goal, and is one of the requirements in order to maintain your priority registration.
All students now have access to Student Planning, a planning tool found on your Student Menu in WebAdvisor. You can start to plan your courses using the Student Planning tool at any time on your own. Having courses planned using the Student Planning tool will meet the Ed Plan requirement to maintain your priority registration.
For instructions on how to use Student Planning, click HERE.

Hey Inside BlackBerry Blog readers! We've got a great guest post here from Sonia, who's eager to tell you about a new update to a particular social networking app…read on! – Ed.
Today we're releasing BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) v6.0.1, a new version that is designed to make it easier than ever to discover a sample of BBM-connected apps from within BBM. This is great news for developers who leverage the BBM Social Platform because it can make their apps more visible and easier to find. It's even better news for BBM users who are seeking to discover and share new app experiences with their BBM contacts.
Let's walk through what's new in BBM v6.0.1.
BBM 6.0.1 Key Features:
- Explore BBM-connected Apps
- Sharing App content with your BBM Contacts is easier
- Include BBM v5.0 users in application invites
- Inviting BBM friends to experience your favorite apps
- Chatting with BBM contacts from inside BBM-connected apps
- Discovering apps and updates through friends by browsing their recent profile updates of their contacts profile
BBM users will now be able to pull up "Explore BBM-connected Apps" from a menu in the BBM Contacts screen. This action is designed to automate a BlackBerry App World™ storefront search for "BBM" by redirecting users to a list of up to 25 of the most popular BBM-connected apps available.
Many BBM users have told us that they love sharing app content with their BBM friends who use the same app, but they also wanted to share content with their BBM friends who don't have the app. BBM v6.0.1 is designed so that you can now share app-specific content with your BBM contacts regardless of whether your contact has the app installed.
For example, foursquare users may want to share a tip or badge they've recently earned, or Huffington Post users may want to share a breaking news story with their BBM contacts. Your friends or contacts will also be prompted to download the BBM-connected app if they don't have it installed.
Now you can include even more friends in the fun! You can now invite BBM v5.0 & BBM v6.0 contacts to join in the fun and share BBM-connected app experiences. Your BBM v5.0 contacts will be prompted to download BBM v6.0 in order to access BBM-connected apps. For users new to BBM v6.0 and BBM-connected apps, here's a quick rundown of some benefits to upgrading (make sure to read our BBM 6: Apps Made Social blog post for more information).
You can download the new BBM update from your BlackBerry smartphone here. I look forward to reading your comments on the newest version of BBM! Let us know what you're sharing with friends and family.

Scenic River Float
- Durée: 135 Minutes (environ)
- Code produit: PTPLJ6
Combine sightseeing and rafting on this relaxing excursion. Enjoy a beautiful 10-mile drive along the coast to the Dyea valley, an old Gold Rush settlement, now returned to nature. On the drive, you may spot seals and eagles. See the start of the famous Chilkoot Trail where thousands journeyed in pursuit of gold. As you float down the gentle Taiya River, your guide will point out any wildlife (Bald Eagles are common, bears sometimes seen at certain times of year-though wildlife sightings are not guaranteed) and tell stories of the area's fascinating history while you enjoy the gorgeous river and mountain views. Enjoy a riverside snack after the float. We also stop at the Skagway scenic overlook for a panoramic view of the town (time permitting). Dyea is a peaceful getaway from bustling Skagway and a perfect opportunity to feel part of the great Alaskan outdoors.
This tour lasts approximately 2 hours 15 minutes-2.5 hours with about 35- 45 minutes on the river (depending on water levels). The Scenic River Float is suitable for all ages/ skill levels.

There was some glitch with the new system last night. What? I'm not sure, but it has been reported. I was able to make an initial comment prior to the game, but later I was unable to either respond or initiate a comment.
Sorry. And, it was a good game worth talking about. Dillon Gee was good, definitely worthy of another look. A few more like this and he might go into spring training as a fifth starter candidate.
Today, we have R.A. Dickey in the matinee start. Dickey has been off lately, but not enough to where it should impact him having a role in spring training. I know people are waiting for the other shoe to fall with Dickey, and I hope this is just a blip on the radar.
We're still working on the new chat room. If you have any feedback on it, that would be welcomed.
To access the new chat room, please click onto the Mets Chat Room icon to the left of this post. It will bring you to another page. At the bottom on the right is where you can click on to register. If you can use your same screen names that would be great. If not, do the best you can.

The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC, pronounced /bɔɪŋk/ - rhymes with "oink"[2]), an open-source middleware system, supports volunteer and grid computing. Originally developed to support the SETI@home project, it became generalized as a platform for other distributed applications in areas as diverse as mathematics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, environmental science, and astrophysics. BOINC aims to enable researchers to tap into the enormous processing power of multiple personal computers around the world.
BOINC development originated with a team based at the Space Sciences Laboratory (SSL) at the University of California, Berkeley and led by David Anderson, who also leads SETI@home. As a high-performance distributed computing platform, BOINC has about 235,980 active participants and 692,208 active computers (hosts) worldwide processing on average 9.871 petaFLOPS as of 16 January 2015.[3] The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds BOINC through awards SCI/0221529,[4] SCI/0438443[5] and SCI/0721124.[6]
BOINC code runs on various operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Android,[7] Linux and FreeBSD.[8] BOINC is free software released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

BOINC was originally developed to manage the SETI@home project.
The original SETI client was a non-BOINC software exclusively for SETI@home. As one of the first volunteer grid computing projects, it was not designed with a high level of security. Some participants in the project attempted to cheat the project to gain "credits", while some others submitted entirely falsified work. BOINC was designed, in part, to combat these security breaches.[9]
The BOINC project started in February 2002 and the first version was released on April 10, 2002. The first BOINC-based project was Predictor@home launched on June 9, 2004. In 2009, AQUA@home deployed multi-threaded CPU applications for the first time,[10] followed by the first OpenCL application in 2010.
As of January 2015, 68 BOINC projects are active.[11]
Design and structure
In essence, BOINC is software that can use the unused CPU and GPU cycles on a computer to do scientific computing—what one individual does not use of his/her computer, BOINC uses. In late 2008, BOINC's official website announced that NVIDIA (a leading GPU manufacturer) had developed a system called CUDA that uses GPUs for scientific computing. With NVIDIA's assistance, some BOINC-based projects (e.g., SETI@home, MilkyWay@home) now have applications that run on NVIDIA GPUs using CUDA. Beginning in October 2009, BOINC added support for the ATI/AMD family of GPUs also. These applications run from 2× to 10× faster than the former CPU-only versions. In 7.x preview versions, GPU support (via OpenCL) was added for computers using Mac OS X with AMD Radeon graphic cards.
BOINC consists of a server system and client software that communicate with each other to distribute, process, and return workunits.
User interfaces
BOINC can be controlled remotely by remote procedure calls (RPC), from the command line, and from the BOINC Account Manager.
BOINC Manager currently has two "views": the Advanced View and the Simplified GUI. The Grid View was removed in the 6.6.x clients as it was redundant.
The appearance (skin) of the Simplified GUI is user-customizable, in that users can create their own designs.
Account managers
A BOINC Account Manager is an application that manages multiple BOINC project accounts across multiple computers (CPUs) and operating systems. Account managers were designed for people who are new to BOINC or have several computers participating in several projects. The account manager concept was conceived and developed jointly by GridRepublic and BOINC. Current account managers include:
- BAM! (BOINC Account Manager) (The first publicly available Account Manager, released for public use on May 30, 2006)
- GridRepublic (Follows the idea of keep it simple and keep it neat when it comes to account management)
- Charity Engine (Non-profit account manager for hire, uses prize draws and continuous charity fundraising to motivate people to join the grid)
- Dazzler (Opensource Account Manager, to ease management institutional resources)
Credit system
The BOINC Credit System is designed to avoid cheating by validating results before granting credit.
- A credit management system helps to ensure that users are returning results which are both scientifically and statistically accurate.
- Online distributed computing is almost entirely a volunteer endeavor. For this reason, projects are dependent on a complicated and variable mix of new users, long-term users, and retiring users.
BOINC projects
There are about 70 projects currently listed,[12] of which about half yield published reports.[13] The licensing of the projects varies.

On Thursday, Assemblyman John D. Ceretto, R-I- Lewiston, called the naming of former Court of Appeals Chief Judge Judith Kaye as the third arbiter in the dispute between the Seneca Nation of Indians and the state of New York "significant progress." The arbitration process will be settled by three arbiters, one named by the Senecas, one named by the state of New York, and the third, Kaye, agreed upon by both arbiters.
"With the naming of a third arbiter, we can finally see progress in this process," Ceretto said. "To have the Seneca Nation and state of New York agree on something as significant as the tie-breaking vote tells me a decision is within sight. This is major progress and I am hopeful that the residents and business owners of Niagara Falls will have a resolution this calendar year."
Ceretto has worked diligently on this casino matter, meeting with Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration and the Seneca Nation's President Robert Porter to encourage a resolution. The assemblyman has also introduced Assembly Bill 8575 to increase the local share of casino revenue from 25 percent to 50 percent and Assembly Bill 9284 to authorize direct payments from the Seneca Nation to host municipalities.
"With the three arbiters now named, the process can move forward," Ceretto said. "While the process must run its course, this is significant progress and I am hopeful for a timely resolution."

BEIJING — As Gov. Jerry Brown tours some of China's economic hubs this week, he is breathing the kind of heavy, soiled air that blanketed Los Angeles decades ago.
The soot and smog that are byproducts of this country's industrial progress are choking its people and threatening its economy. Chinese leaders are talking openly about the need to clean up the air, and to learn how from California.
So Brown and a large delegation of business and political leaders have come to lend a hand, as well as to leverage China's need into business deals.
Brown made his agenda clear not long after he arrived in Beijing, a city so gridlocked in traffic that parts of his schedule are being upended to account for the time he spends trapped in it.

Amy Hansen has been named the permanent news editor of the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune.
Hansen has been a general reporter for the Creston News Advertiser the past three years.
She became familiar with the Osceola and Clarke County area as she was filling in for former News Editor Jennifer Nelson at various times. Nelson left in August to accept a position in Columbia, Mo. Hansen has been the interim news editor since then.
"Since Clarke County is a county south of where I was raised, the community feels a lot like home to me," Hansen said. "The people I have met so far in this community have been very welcoming and helpful. I look forward to getting to know even more people as I'm out and about."
She was born and raised in Indianola.
Hansen is a 2009 graduate of the University of Iowa with degrees in journalism and mass communication and history.
"I'm excited to be starting this new phase of my career and look forward to the challenges this opportunity offers me," she added.
Hansen currently lives in Creston and will continue her commute to Osceola until housing can be found.

Post doc vacancy
in EU funded Training and Mobility of Researchers project NEUROS
cooperative project between University of Twente (dr.ir. Peter H. Veltink)
and University College London (dr. Nick de N. Donaldson).
Experimental evaluation of FES supported standing strategies
Start date: as soon as possible
Nationality: EU-citizen, non-Dutch, non-UK
1 year at University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands
1 year at University College London, London, England, UK
Within the EU funded project NEUROS, a two-year postdoc position is available for investigating strategies for FES supported mobility, specifically standing up and sitting down in paraplegics. In recent years, several control strategies have been proposed for these tasks, however, experimental evaluation has been limited. The objectives of the proposed research are:
1. to identify and develop alternative control methods for FES supported standing up, standing and sitting down, and
2. experimental comparative testing of selected strategies for FES supported standing up, standing and sitting down.
This will require work in at least the following areas:
* developing instrumentation to measure biomechanical variables;
* programming controllers;
* measuring biomechanical and physiological variables;
* carrying out clinical experiments and trials;
* analysing the data to understand whether the controllers are behaving as intended; and evaluating their performance for use outside the laboratory.
The postdoc will work at both the University of Twente and University College London, having a one year appointment at each institution. This project should strengthen the cooperation between both groups and combine the expertise of both. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Electrical, Mechanical or Systems Engineering or Movement Sciences, and should have experience in experimental research involving human subjects, preferably in neural prostheses or motor control. Experience of biomechanics and/or instrumentation will be valuable.
NEUROS is a project in the EU Training and Mobility of Researchers (TMR) program. The project is carried out in a network of 10 European research institutes in the area of Neuromuscular Sensing and Control. In order to increase mobility of researchers foreign EU citizens can only be employed within TMR projects. For more information on the NEUROS project see http://www-bio.el.utwente.nl, look under 'projects' and than 'the "Neuros" project".
