Department of Labor (DOL) Fiduciary Rule Vacated by Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
July 6, 2018
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling on March 15, 2018, in the Chamber of Commerce v. U.S. Department of Labor case, vacating the DOL's Fiduciary Rule. The court ruled that broker-dealers and their associated persons cannot be held to a best interest fiduciary standard under ERISA when making securities recommendations. Subsequent motions filed by AARP and the attorneys general of three states (California, New York, and Oregon) to intervene in the Fifth Circuit litigation and to obtain a rehearing by the full Fifth Circuit were denied and the DOL has chosen not to seek rehearing of the decision or petition the Supreme Court for review. On June 21, 2018, the Fifth Circuit issued an order which officially nullified or canceled the DOL's Fiduciary Rule, effectively removing it from the law.
While the DOL's Fiduciary Rule did not generally affect providers of non-ERISA plans, it did apply to IRA rollovers and likely would have been followed as a matter of best practice by providers for governmental retirement plans. Because of the Court's ruling, plan sponsors, service providers, investment advisers, and others that work with qualified plans and IRAs probably will reevaluate various practices. Although the Fifth Circuit opinion does not address this directly, it appears that the law would revert back to the law that was in effect prior to the regulation issued in April 2016. Other regulators, however, continue to look carefully at the standard of care for those that provide investment recommendations, including the SEC and various states. The industry is also watching several states that have passed their own fiduciary rules which vary in their application and have yet to be tested.

Without searching here, is there anything anyone is doing in regards to the coordination of the mental, neurological, visual and physical? When we get injured, the physical is immediately incorrect with this coordination. I have been making tremendous progress by removing the visual as well as the physical. Close eyes, lay on bed and see if I can even think my way through trying to do something simple - di I even feel any sensation. Forget about actual movement. Need to first be feeling it. Essentially I have tried to go back to being a baby or even not yet born. This takes a lot of time. I cannot expect to move a leg if all of the components above my leg to my brain and not doing what they are required. Our bodies essentially are hard wired computers. Yes they do accept wireless data.

Made a homemade treadmill exercise. Got an engine puller, borrowed from a buddy. Bought treadmill harness online just like at my rehab place I went to. Works great. Up to 2 mph so far. I'm C3/C4 incomplete. Can walk some, but cannot feels from chest down. Buddy put motorcycle bars on the treadmill because hard for my right hand to hold onto the regular treadmill handles. Just an idea.

Hello Ramey,
it's been a number of years since this post, are you still active & can you share the PDF again.
Thank you so much for posting this eclipseme. What a creative set-up. The addition of the handlebars was genius.
I'd like to hear how the gait training has been working since 2010.

In 1997 US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright famously called Slovakia "the black hole of Europe". Ivan Krastev described it as "a beer-drinking version of Belarus." The country was ruled by Vladimir Meciar who is remembered for his spurning of democratic procedures, his contempt for market-oriented reforms and his idea of forming a customs union with Russia. Reformist opposition leaders had to watch passively as in 1997 Slovakia's neighbours were invited to join NATO and to start accession talks with the EU. "It seemed like the Czechs were going west and the Slovaks east or nowhere," remembers Jan Figel who later became Slovakia's chief negotiator.
The turning point came in 1998. A broad coalition, unified by opposition to Meciar and the fear of falling further behind Slovakia's neighbours, won the parliamentary elections. Despite the coalition's heterogeneous composition, including free-market liberals, former communists and Catholic conservatives, prime minister Mikulas Dzurinda managed to keep the government together for a full four-year term. He pushed through ambitious economic reforms including the introduction of a flat tax and a big privatisation programme. After parliamentary elections in 2002 Dzurinda could form another reform-oriented coalition government. Under his leadership the country acceded to both NATO and the EU in spring 2004. Read more …
After the 2006 elections, Dzurinda and his pro-reform allies would have needed Meciar's party to retain a majority, but failed to get him on board. The new ruling coalition combined all three features of what the Economist called the nightmares in ex-communist politics: populist, authoritarian and racist parties. Robert Fico's populist leftist "SMER" party, Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) and the radical right-wing Slovak National Party (SNS) of Jan Slota formed a coalition government and promised to transform the country. Slovakia's international image darkened. On Slota the Economist wrote:
"He is known for his intemperate remarks about the country's Roma (Gypsy) and Hungarian minorities. The former, he said, were a problem best approached with a 'long whip in a small yard'. He once said he would like to flatten the Hungarian capital, Budapest, with a tank. His convivial lifestyle attracts attention too (he explained an anti-Hungarian remark by pleading drunkenness)."
During the election campaign, Fico had criticised the Dzurinda government for its economic policies, in particular the flat tax and the pension and health care reforms. Once in power, however, he made few changes to policies which had brought economic growth rates of above 6 percent.
Slovakia was also affected by the global economic crisis. In 2009, the economy contracted by an estimated 4.9 percent. The issue that brought the country most negative headlines, however, was the government's policies towards the Hungarian minority (representing some 10 percent of the population). The government sponsored vague and badly written amendments to the State Language Law in June 2009, leading to criticism by Slovakia's Hungarians, civil rights groups and European politicians. The BBC reported Michael Gahler, a German CDU member of the European Parliament, saying that Slovakia was "violating commonly respected standards in the EU and disregarding respective recommendations of the Council of Europe, which foresee the extended use of minority languages."
In parallel, relations with Hungary deteriorated. In August 2009, Hungarian President Laszlo Solyom was prevented from entering Slovakia to attend the unveiling ceremony of a statue of a Hungarian king. In March 2010, parliament passed a "Patriotic Act." This law, presented by Slota's SNS, required all schools to play the Slovak anthem at the beginning of every week and to display the Slovak flag, the lyrics of the anthem and the preamble of the constitution in every class room. There was a public outcry. Upon request by Fico, President Gasparovic refused to sign the law. The law was eventually passed in June in a more moderate form, not requiring the weekly playing of the national anthem in schools.
Parliamentary elections in June 2010 put Fico and his coalition partners out of government. Fico's party actually did well, but Meciar's HZDS did not get over the threshold. While Slota's SNS went from 12 percent in 2006 to 5 percent in 2010, the multi-ethnic Most/Hid Party (bridge), reached 8 percent. A new government was formed, for the first time led by a woman, Iveta Radicova. Dzurinda returned as foreign minister. The new coalition has announced to address the minority's complaints shortly.
One of the most interesting questions that emerge from the recent Slovak experience concerns the ability of populist politicians in a post-communist EU member state to rewrite the rules. In 2006 when Fico's coalition came to power there were many, in Slovakia and outside, feared the worst. By 2010 it had become apparent that despite increasing tensions with the Hungarian minority (for which in part the leadership in Budapest was responsible), the ability of people like Slota to breach European standards was limited.

1979 Volvo 66 DL 1.1 from Netherlands
A fun and collectable car because of the low cost price and lots of spare parts available!!!
My battery went down. The seats are starting to wear.
That's all.
General Comments:
The cars' acceleration is really quick for such an old car. The handling is not that much, but that's because there's lot's of weight on top.
Although two guys walked over my car last week, the paint is completely intact. No rust, I'm gonna drive this thing for years.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Report from the North Rim – date posted Oct 24, 2013
Most concessioner services and regularly scheduled ranger-led programs have ended for the season. The National Park Service will continue its operations including the North Rim Visitor Center and Bookstore, as well as the Backcountry Permits Office through October 31.
November 1 through December 1 the North Rim will be open for day use only unless snow closes Highway 67 prior to that date. NO OVERNIGHT PARKING will be allowed along the Highway 67 corridor inside the park, this includes the North Kaibab Trailhead and North Rim Campground.
From November 1 through December 1:
Services: The North Rim is day use only in November, defined as dawn to dusk. No overnight parking is permitted along the Highway 67 corridor inside the park, this includes the North Kaibab Trailhead and North Rim Campground. The North Rim Visitor Center, Backcountry Permits Office, and all other services are closed starting November 1. Water is available outside the Backcountry Permits Office. Pay-at-the-pump gas and diesel will still be available.
North Rim Campground: Camping will be available provided a backcountry use permit has been obtained in advance – these permits are available through the South Rim Backcountry Information Center, and at the Visitor Center at Pipe Spring National Monument located in Fredonia, Arizona. No car camping. Overnight parking of vehicles is not allowed.
Backpacking: Hikers (with a backcountry permit) may proceed to open trailheads. Those descending the North Kaibab Trail will need to be dropped off by friends or arrive via a commercial shuttle bus.
Weather: Come November, short days and cold nights have arrived. Remember the North Rim is at 8,000 feet (2,438 m) which means that nighttime temperatures are guaranteed to be in the in the 20's F and 30's F (-6C to -1C) at best. Watch the weather carefully and talk with experienced friends or park rangers, know when to call off your trip. A few feet of snow could easily fall in a powerful, early winter storm.
Roads: Unimproved roads to destinations such as North Bass and Point Sublime trails are open until winter weather closes them. Be aware, tree fall is common on the North Rim and you should have alternate routes for accessing and leaving trailheads. Cape Royal Road is closed for the remainder of the season from the Y to the terminus at Cape Royal. All other roads including Point Imperial Road remain open until December 1 unless Highway 67 closes.

Brief Synopsis
A musician is mistaken for a vicious thief, with devastating results.
As is his custom, Christopher Emanuel "Manny" Balestrero, a string bass player at New York City's Stork Club, returns home to Jackson Heights after the club closes just before dawn. His wife Rose is still awake, suffering from a toothache, and confides her anxiety about their inability to pay for having her tooth extracted. The couple, who are rearing two young boys, live frugally and have weathered their share of financial distresses. Remembering Rose's insurance policy, Manny suggests that they can borrow against it to pay for the procedure and plans to look into it when the office opens. Later, after promising to return at 5:30 to give music lessons to his sons, Manny visits his ailing father and then goes to the insurance company to see about the loan. Although he does not notice, the clerks become nervous in his presence and decide among themselves that he looks like the man who robbed them a month ago. The police, alerted by the insurance clerks, wait outside Manny's home and pick him up on his doorstep at 5:30. Without allowing him first to speak to his wife and without telling him why he is being taken into custody, they drive him to the station. There, after asking the bewildered Manny about his finances, the police conclude that he has a motive to steal money. They drive him to several stores that have been robbed in the past and ask the proprietors if he is the man who robbed them. When many of the victims express uncertainty about Manny being the thief, the police summon the insurance clerks to the station to identify him. To determine if his handwriting matches that of the robber, one of the detectives reads aloud a printed holdup note and asks Manny to print the words on a scrap of paper. Because Manny's printing is similar to the robber's, they ask him to print out a second sample. The second time, Manny, who has become increasingly frightened, misspells the word "drawer" as "draw," which, coincidentally, is the same way the robber spelled the word. Based on this mistake and the tentative word of the witnesses, Manny is booked on charges of assault and robbery, fingerprinted and put in a cell for the night. Meanwhile, Rose, whom Manny has never been allowed to contact, worries that he has been in an accident, as he has never been late without calling. By the time the police notify Rose, Manny's mother and sister and brother-in-law, Gene and Olga Conforti, are waiting with her. The next morning, Manny is taken to the felony court in a police wagon with suspects of other crimes. A trial date is set, but despite his appointed attorney's request for leniency, the judge sets the bail at $7,500 and Manny is taken to the Queens County jail. After the Confortis manage to raise the money for Manny's bail, Rose calls lawyer Frank D. O'Connor, who has been recommended to Manny's mother. Although O'Connor warns that he has little experience with criminal cases, he takes the case, and urges Manny to recall where he was on the dates of the alleged robberies. On the date of the first robbery, the Balestreros recall that they were on vacation at a resort in Cornwall, New York, and at the time in question, Manny was playing cards with three other vacationers. Rose and Manny try to track down the three men, whose names they get from the resort owners, but one, a boxer, is never found and the two other men have died. Manny remembers that at the time of the second robbery he was suffering from a toothache, and his dentist confirms that his jaw was so swollen that dental work had to be postponed. O'Connor believes this might provide an alibi in court, as none of the witnesses reported that the robber had a swollen jaw. Rose becomes increasingly depressed, and begins to blame herself for Manny's problems, illogically concluding that it was because of her that Manny went to the insurance office to ask for a loan. When her behavior deteriorates into paranoia, Manny takes her to a doctor, who admits her to a sanitarium in Ossining. As Manny's trial begins, the witnesses are called to the stand to identify Manny as the robber. During cross-examination, one of the jurors, who has already made up his mind about the case, asks the judge if they "have to sit and listen to this?" After a brief conference with O'Connor and the district attorney, the judge calls a mistrial, and O'Connor tells Manny that they will have to start over. Afterward, at home, Manny talks to his mother, who is taking care of the boys during Rose's absence, about his feeling of despair and she advises him to pray. Soon after, a man holds up a delicatessen. The owner signals to her husband, who approaches the robber from behind and holds him, while she phones the police. The robber is arrested and brought into the police station, where, in the hallway, he passes a detective working on Manny's case. Although the robber makes no initial impression on the detective, his resemblance to Manny soon strikes the latter, who follows up his hunch. Later, while performing at the Stork Club, Manny is summoned to the 110th precinct police station. When Manny arrives, the insurance clerks are there confirming that the robber is the same person who held them up. After identifying the correct man, they cannot meet Manny's eyes as they leave. The charges against Manny are dropped, but when he goes to Ossining to tell Rose, she is unresponsive.

AbstractThis paper demonstrates how HPC can be used in real time to tune the operation of particle accelerators, which are invaluable tools for research in the basic and applied sciences, in fields such as materials science, chemistry, the biosciences, particle physics, nuclear physics and medicine. The design, commissioning, and operation of accelerator facilities is a non-trivial task, due to the large number of control parameters and the complex interplay of several conflicting design goals. The team from IBM Research, Paul Scherrer Institute and ETH Zürich achieved strong and weak scalability improvement on BlueGene/P of two orders of magnitude for the most heavily used component of the optimisation framework, which computes the evolving shape of the bunches of particles in the beam. This enables thousands of such calculations to be performed in a matter of minutes, creating close to on-line optimisation capability.

Recent experimental evidence shows unambiguously that, at room conditions, excess protons are located close to hydrophobic surfaces in liquid mixtures, in contrast to intuitive considerations. Shedding light on structural and energetic facets of this issue is crucial to describe correctly key biochemical processes such as protein folding and ligand/target interactions. So far, approaches have been mostly used classical modeling or empirical quantum-mechanical methods. The latter have suggested that the process is driven by enthalpy, which overcompensates the entropy penalty. First principle study reported so far did not address the energetics of the processes. Here we plan to perform ab initio molecular dynamics of an excess proton in the presence of a water/decane mixture as used experimentally. We plan to calculate the free energy of the process using thermodynamic integration and determine at which distance from the surface it is most probable that the proton localizes.

Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD) models simulate explicitly the motion, multiplication and interaction of dislocation lines, the carrier of plasticity in crystalline materials, in response to an applied load. This project aims to study the dislocation physics during plastic deformation of metals, focusing on the microstructure evolution (cell structure formation) and the interaction between a low angle grain boundary (LAGB) and an in-coming dislocation.
To simulate the dislocation cell structure formation, both the sample volume and the amount of plastic deformation have to exceed the most computationally expensive simulations (volume: 5 µm on a side; plastic deformation 1.7%) run on Thunder and Blue Gene/L computers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
When the wall dislocations and the dislocation loop have the same Burgers vector but on different glide planes (collinear relation), they form a junction with zero Burgers vector (partial annihilation). The collinear dislocation interaction has been reported to be stronger than all other types of dislocation interactions (self interaction, coplanar interaction, interaction leading to non-zero junctions). The finding from our simulations of the interaction between a low angle grain boundary (dislocation wall) and dislocation loops is that: the partial annihilation of wall dislocation and in-coming dislocation loop makes dislocation loop transmission easy and leads to strong interactions at the dislocation wall, and junction formation pins the dislocation loop at the dislocation wall, and strong multiplication events happen outside the dislocation wall region. Both dislocation density and plastic strain increase faster in the junction case than in the collinear case. It is important to further study how the interaction depends on the dislocation spacing of wall dislocations, or in other words the angle of the LAGB. Currently the dislocation spacing is 1000b (b is the magnitude of the Burgers vector), and the use of smaller dislocation spacing (100b) would request the number of DOF to increase 100 times (the number of dislocations x10, and the number of segments per dislocation x10).
Additionally, we would like to study the (average) migration velocity of a clean and solitary LAGB in contrast to the (messy) case when concurrent activity of numerous dislocation loops destroys the neat boundary structure. Both cases are investigated under the same applied stress. Experimental observations suggest a massive reduction in the migration rate in the latter case. Likely, the generation of low-mobility junctions slows down a disrupted boundary. The messy case (dislocation wall with massively-tangled dense dislocation network) needs the computational capability of the Blue Gene/P.

14:15 – 14:45 Droplet growth by coalescence in turbulent clouds: kinetics, fluctuations, and universality

Jeremie Bec, Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur
After defending a PhD in 2002 on basic aspects of physics and hydrodynamics at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the University La Sapienza in Rome where I acquired an expertise on dissipative dynamical systems and critical phenomena. Since I was hired by CNRS in 2005 in Nice, I have mainly worked on turbulent transport and mixing. In 2009 the European Research Council awarded me a starting independent researcher grant to study the effect of fluctuations and extreme events in atmospheric transport.Read abstract …

Warm clouds are constituted of small water droplets that do not follow exactly the turbulent airflow but have inertia. They thus react with some delay to the fluid motion and feel gravity, so that they distribute non-uniformly in space and can have very large velocity differences. Consequently the rate of collision and growth by coalescence of such droplets cannot be predicted by simple arguments and the timescales of precipitation are often under-estimated. Our objective is to investigate this issue by a direct numerical simulation of coalescing particles that are passively transported by a homogeneous isotropic turbulent flow.While atmospheric scientists attach importance to account simultaneously for all processes to be as much realistic as possible, the proposed approach simplifies the main mechanisms to obtain a better handling of fundamental questions. The novelty of the intended work originates in extending and adapting to the problem of rain formation the statistical physics tools developed for Lagrangian turbulence. The main ingredient of such approaches is the statistical Lagrangian formalism developed during the last decade, which consists in reformulating transport and mixing problems in terms of averages along particle paths. The key task is then to estimate the cumulative weights of fluctuations along trajectories or to determine the probability of the events giving a dominating contribution to the statistics. This method has two advantages: first, it is well adapted for dealing with systems that are far from equilibrium, and second, it allows controlling the history of individual particle paths. The problem of estimating time scale of rain formation in warm clouds requires tools that cope with these two difficulties.
In order to accompany and validate such analytical modelings, we will perform state-of-the-art numerical simulations of a cloud portion. For being ensured that the airflow turbulence is sufficiently developed, we plan to integrate the fluid phase on a $2048^3$ periodic grid with a high-accuracy pseudo-spectral solver. To match particle loading encountered in strato-cumulus, one billion particles will be seeded in the flow with an initial size distribution that mimics observations and which will be centered around a typical radius equal to one twentieth of the dissipative Kolmogorov scale. The system will then be evolved using an efficient collision detection algorithm and performing particle mergers that conserve mass and momentum. The simulation will be evolved for at least fifty large-scale turnover time to obtain a typical size of particle that has increased by at least one order of magnitude. The objective is to measure timescales for the growth of droplets and to highlight universal properties of the size distribution in the large-time asymptotics. Such measurements will confirm or refute the validity of predictions from standard mean-field kinetic models.

Fusion energy is regarded as a possible long-term energy solution for humanity, capable of providing the energy resources to drive economic growth and social development. Fast ignition is one of the most promising and exciting inertial confinement fusion schemes to improve the viability of inertial fusion energy as a practical energy source. Even if up to now experiments have been limited to laser energies still far from ideal conditions for ignition and simulations, which are extremely complex due to the different temporal and spatial scales involved, have been limited to reduced scales/simplified models, in the very near future we expect transformative results as novel laser systems are now coming online, with the National Ignition Facility and, in the near future, the ESFRI roadmap project HiPER (High Power laser Energy Research), reaching the conditions required for ignition. In this proposal, and using massively parallel simulations, we aim to perform, for the first time with realistic target properties (e.g. density, temperature, dimensions) and the correct simulation dimensionality, and with realistic ultra-intense laser pulses obtained from Raman amplification, self-consistent fast ignition simulations including all the relevant microphysics/particle dynamics, taking advantage of the novel hybrid model incorporated into the state-of-the-art relativistic particle-in-cell massively parallel code OSIRIS, with the goal of identifying possible paths to demonstrate fast ignition as an efficient scheme for inertial fusion energy.

15:45 – 16:15 Turbulent entrainment due to a plume impinging on a density interface

The entrainment of fluid across density interfaces is a fundamental physical process with applications throughout the natural sciences and engineering. This process is of importance in density stratified environments which are subject to regions of localized turbulence. For example, in oceanic and atmospheric contexts, turbulent entrainment has a bearing on the rate of deepening of oceanic and atmospheric mixed layers, respectively. This then has a direct impact on the concentration of pollutants released in the atmosphere or trapped in a mixed layer in the ocean. As entrainment involves a transport of fluid between layers, it has widespread applications in water-air quality problems. However, despite its significance, existing entrainment laws, which couple an entrainment velocity to a turbulence intensity and density contrast between the layers, are subject to very significant uncertainties and currently there is no consensus in the literature regarding which is correct or the most appropriate. With laboratory measurements of entrainment rates in identical apparatus varying by orders of magnitude, this then presents the scientific community with real concerns and throws into question many models and modeling approaches which rely on a specification of such entrainment rates. This proposal aims to pin down the entrainment law for localized turbulent patches using direct numerical simulation (DNS).
An improved entrainment law for localized turbulent patches will enable enhanced predictive capability. One pertinent example is the low-energy design of ventilation in buildings. Here, the turbulent entrainment across a thermal interface – an interface separating a cool lower region in a room from the warmer upper region – as is typically induced by a thermal plume rising from localized heat sources, is an extremely important mechanism as it plays a significant role in determining the temperature distribution in the room and thus, the comfort of occupants. Optimization of the energy-efficiency in a ventilated building is only possible if the simplified models typically used to provide design guidance are accurate.

16:15 – 16:45 Ab initio Simulations of Turbulence in Fusion Plasmas
- Frank Jenko
Frank Jenko, Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics
The work of Prof. Jenko (Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics at Garching near Munich, Germany) centers around the topics of plasma turbulence, computational physics, and high performance computing – with applications to both fusion energy research and astrophysics. In his group, one of the leading "gyrokinetic" plasma turbulence codes has been developed (see gene.rzg.mpg.de). This GENE code is used by a large number of researchers world-wide on a variety of different platforms on up to about 300,000 cores. He is the author of more than 150 publications and has won several awards including an Excellence Grant by the European Research Council.Read abstract …

The world-wide demand of electricity is projected to increase by about a factor of six throughout the 21st century. At the same time, the use of fossile fuels will have to be reduced. At present, we still have no silver bullet which can be used to close this gap. Fusion energy is an attractive option in this context, and high-performance simulations play a key role for its further development. The present project represents an important contribution to the European effort to employ Petascale (and later Exascale) computing for fusion energy applications. Its main goal is to use the latest version of the plasma turbulence code GENE to perform a number of millenium-type simulations which are closely linked to the international flagship fusion experiment ITER – one of the most challenging scientific projects to date and currently under construction in Southern France. The first target is to perform the first physically comprehensive simulations of the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak at Garching, presently one of the world's leading fusion devices and conceptually very similar to ITER, although about four time smaller in the linear dimensions. The second question to be addressed is the dependence of the turbulent transport on the system size. Given that ITER is expected to benefit from the fact that it will be significantly larger than all existing fusion devices, this is a key issue to ensure the project's success. Since the theoretical understanding of it is still far from complete, these simulations will provide very valuable insights.

BBC News today reported that "two blind British men have had electronic retinas fitted". Chris James, 54, and Robin Millar, 60, took part in a clinical trial coordinated by Oxford University and funded by the National Institute of Health Research.
Both men have retinitis pigmentosa, a rare hereditary condition that causes gradual deterioration of the light-detecting cells in the retina, which can lead to blindness. The electronic retinas are implants containing light detectors designed to replace the lost light-detecting cells.
Immediately following the procedures, when the implants were switched on, both men were able to detect light and are now beginning to use their restored vision. This early success in these two patients raises hope for the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa, which is currently incurable. Up to 10 further patients with retinitis pigmentosa will now be treated as part of this clinical trial, which was carried out at Oxford Eye Hospital and King's College Hospital in London.
What was done?
The retinal implants were developed by Retina Implant AG in Germany to treat people with retinitis pigmentosa. Each implant contains a microchip containing 1,500 tiny electronic light detectors. During the trial, the implant was placed beneath the retina at the back of the patient's eye. The patient's optic nerve (the nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain) was then able to pick up electronic signals coming from the microchip.
This delicate operation is conducted in two parts:
- First, the power supply has to be implanted. This is buried under the skin behind the ear.
- Then, the electronic retina has to be inserted into the back of the eye and stitched into position before being connected to the power supply.
Professor Robert MacLaren, who is leading the research, said: "What makes this unique is that all functions of the retina are integrated into the chip. It has 1,500 light-sensing diodes and small electrodes that stimulate the overlying nerves to create a pixellated image. Apart from a hearing aid-like device behind the ear, you would not know a patient had one implanted."
What is retinitis pigmentosa?
Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare hereditary condition affecting around one in every 3,000-4,000 people in Europe. It causes gradual and progressive loss of the light-detecting cells in the retina. People with the condition often start noticing problems with their peripheral vision and problems seeing in low-light conditions during adolescence. By middle age, many people with retinitis pigmentosa will have greater problems with their vision and some will become blind. There is currently no cure for the condition, so any developments in treatments are a step forward.
How effective was the implant?
Before his operation on 22 March 2012, Chris James had been completely blind in his left eye for more than 10 years and could only distinguish lights in his right eye. When his electronic retina was switched on for the first time, three weeks after the operation, James was able to distinguish light against a black background in both eyes. He is now reported to be able to recognise a plate on a table and other basic shapes, and his vision continues to improve. He said: "It's obviously early days but it's encouraging that I am already able to detect light where previously this would have not been possible for me. I'm still getting used to the feedback the chip provides and it will take some time to make sense of this. Most of all, I'm really excited to be part of this research."
Robin Millar also said he could detect light immediately after the electronic retina was switched on, and that useful vision was beginning to be restored.
How will the results be used?
Ten further patients with retinitis pigmentosa will now receive the implant at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust and King's College Hospital in London. Longer-term follow-up of these patients, and the two men who have already been treated, is awaited. Both men are having monthly follow-ups.
Professor MacLaren said: "We are all delighted with these initial results. The vision is different from normal and it requires a different type of brain processing. We hope, however, that the electronic chips will provide independence for many people who are blind from retinitis pigmentosa."

I have looked and asked everywhere else...I know it's late where I am, but I can't sleep knowing that I haven't figure this out yet lol. I know, call me odd.
This is a 1940's snood that I found and I would love nothing more than to know how in the world the decreasing works. row 16 has 23 meshes and 17 you are suppose to decrease, as well as 18, that's not a problem. The problem is that, right after row 18, it tells you to continue decreasing, taking off one on each end of each row...but it only tells you how to take it off at the end of the row. I tried using the ch 5 as the possible decrease but, at row 18, I don't end up with 19 like it should be, but I end up with 21...which should be in row 17...unless I'm reading it wrong...that's the thing, I have no clue.
I would be ever so grateful if someone who has done this, or someone that understands the pattern better than me, could tell me how to work the decreases or even how that part of the pattern works. I would so very much appreciate it ^-^
I am in desperate need of help on this.

The CNC machining grooves are part of the design. Look at how clean and just beautiful the wheel looks without hand finishing. This is due to precise and careful programming and the extreme high accuracy of the CNC machine itself.
Honestly, the wheel does look like someone sat there by hand polishing it for hours.
Supreme Power will be distributing this wheel and there will be four other designs yet to come. There of course will be different finish options.
Definitely something different in the crowded wheel scene. More info to come.
Check out a video of the CNC process in action:

This has been my last two weeks:
- I received a copy of the Jennifer Government screenplay.
- I sold the film rights to Company.
- I talked to John Cusack.
- The guy who is probably going to write the Company screenplay e-mailed me to talk about his ideas.
- I got a bunch of great new Company reviews, including a fantastic piece by Douglas Coupland in The New York Times Book Review.
- I did a bunch of interviews.
- The L.A. Times invited me to review a book for them.
- I wrote a proposal for a TV series for the Sci-Fi channel.
- Wil Anderson asked me to write a TV series for Australian TV with him.
- I worked up a final polish of the Syrup screenplay.
- The Chinese language version of Jennifer Government was released.
- I made some progress on getting NationStates 2 underway.
- I got invited to two festivals, one conference, two workplaces to give talks, and asked to contribute writing to four different places.
Ordinarily any one of these would be so cool that I would scamper to the keyboard and blog all about it. But there is just so much cool. To anybody but me, I suspect it is a sickening amount of cool. Plus I'm getting way more e-mails from readers than usual, including many hilarious or scary ones that are also clearly worth blogging about. Basically, there is so much cool stuff happening right now that I could blog about it non-stop, if only there wasn't so much cool stuff happening right now.
I know what you're thinking: "Oh, poor Max, I cry fat salty tears of compassion for you; how terrible to have all your time taken up by the realization of all your life's dreams." And you're right; it is poor of me, because when someone, say, takes the trouble to compose a photograph involving my book, one of Stephen King's, and a monkey, I shouldn't allow that to pass without comment.
(The best time to write to an author, I have decided, is about two months before his book is published. That's when most other people have forgotten his existence and he's feeling frightened and desperate for love.)
Here is my weak compromise: an update in point form. This way I get to summarize what's been happening without writing 10,000 words, and hopefully also without making too many people sick to their stomachs that so much good stuff can happen to one guy.
- It feels weird to read someone else's adaptation of your book. Really weird. Louis Mellis and David Scinto have written a highly stylized version of Jennifer Government—the things they do with dialogue are just amazing—but it's like seeing your kid dressed by a total stranger: she's the same, but so different. It's surreal on the same level as when I read reviews that call me "Barry," as if I am an Important Person.
- Company will be developed for the screen by Tom Shadyac and Michael Bostick in conjunction with Universal. And boy are they fast movers! They're already talking to Steve Pink about writing the screenplay. Steve was a writer on one of my favorite movies, Grosse Pointe Blank, as well the excellent adaptation High Fidelity. Not only that, but he was good enough to drop me an e-mail. What a guy.
- "Hi, it's Johnny Cusack." Only one of the coolest guys on the planet. On the phone. Talking to me. While my wife hyperventilates beside me. (I think Cusack even trumps Wil Wheaton, as far as Jen is concerned. Because he was in Stand By Me and Say Anything. I am a little concerned, though, that I only seem to be meeting celebrities that my wife has had huge crushes on.) John—I mean Johnny—I mean Mr. Cusack—was interested in the Company film rights, and although they ended up going elsewhere, maybe we'll get lucky and still get his involvement somehow.
- If there is anything more professionally satisfying than having a absolute titan of the writing scene—a guy who is clearly my literary superior in every conceivable way—write a bunch of flattering things about my work in The New York Times Book Review… then it's probably illegal.
And some standout e-mails from readers:
- Kyle, a student in Canada, decided to create a web site for Zephyr Holdings (the company in Company). You know, just because he could.
- Hobbie wrote to tell me that Russian Coke tastes a lot like Fukk is described in Syrup. My lawyers are just waiting for them to put it in a black can.
- Christian delayed responding to a fire alarm in his building so he could finish a good bit of Syrup. Nice.
- Jerry shot me a slightly scary list of websites devoted to barcodes, and the people who love them.
- Phill says I convinced him to convert to from Windows to Linux, which makes me feel all warm and subversive.
- Rachel e-mailed me an exhaustive explanation of why American shower faucets work that way and how to master them.
- Brandon explained that although he loves my web site he is never going to buy one of my books because he doesn't want to "spoil the mystery." I was going to ask him to elaborate on this theory, but then I decided this was one mystery I probably didn't want solved either.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers pored over a top-secret memo explaining the White House's rationale for drone strikes targeting al-Qaida operatives overseas, just hours before President Barack Obama's choice to head the CIA faced a Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing.
John Brennan, the White House counterterrorism chief and Obama's nominee to run the nation's spy agency, helped manage the drone program. His confirmation hearing Thursday afternoon set the stage for a public airing of some of the most controversial programs in the covert war on al-Qaida, from deadly drone strikes to the CIA's use of interrogation techniques like waterboarding during President George W. Bush's administration.
Delivery of the secret document to the Senate and House intelligence committees, directed by Obama late Wednesday, suggested the White House was trying to clear obstacles to Obama's second run at placing Brennan in the top spot at the CIA. His first attempt, in 2009, was stymied by critics who charged that Brennan backed harsh interrogation techniques used while he was at the CIA.
Obama directed the Justice Department to provide the memo to members of the Senate and House intelligence committees. Lawmakers were examining the opinion Thursday.
Spokesman Jay Carney said the White House was making an "extraordinary accommodation" in allowing lawmakers to view classified Justice Department legal advice on drone strikes against Americans. Carney said the White House does not plan to send the Justice memos to lawmakers beyond those on the House and Senate intelligence committees.
"This is not an open-ended process," he said. "This is a specific and unique accommodation in this circumstance."
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a committee member who had pressed the administration to provide the opinion, left open the possibility he might still try to block Brennan's nomination. He said turning over the opinion was a good first step.
"I'm committed to making sure that we get all the facts," Wyden said on NBC's "Today" show. "Early this morning, I'm going to be going in to read the opinion. We'll go from there."
Wyden said "there are still substantial questions" about how the administration justifies and plans drone strikes. "The Founding Fathers thought the president should have significant power in the national security arena. But there have to be checks and balances," Wyden said. "You can't just skirt those checks and balances if you think it's inconvenient."
An unclassified memo leaked this week says it is legal for the government to kill U.S. citizens abroad if it believes they are senior al-Qaida leaders continually engaged in operations aimed at killing Americans, even if there is no evidence of a specific imminent attack.
Brennan laid out the administration's policy for targeting al-Qaida with lethal drone strikes ahead of the hearing, defending the use of such strikes but disavowing the harsh interrogation techniques used when he was at the CIA.
In answers to pre-hearing questions released Wednesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee, Brennan said no further legislation was necessary to conduct operations against al-Qaida wherever it's operating.
He also answered some of his critics who charged him with backing the detention and interrogation policy while he served at the CIA. Brennan said in his written answers that he was "aware of the program but did not play a role in its creation, execution, or oversight." He added that he "had significant concerns and personal objections" to the interrogation techniques and voiced those objections privately to colleagues at the agency.
Brennan went on to describe how individuals are targeted for drone strikes, saying whether a suspect is deemed an imminent threat — and therefore appropriate for targeting — is made "on a case-by-case basis through a coordinated interagency process" involving intelligence, military, diplomatic and other agencies.
Human rights and civil liberties groups have decried the methods for targeting terror suspects, especially U.S. citizens.
Brennan defended the missile strikes by unmanned Predator or Reaper drones as a more humane form of war, but he acknowledged "instances when, regrettably and despite our best efforts, civilians have been killed."
"It is exceedingly rare, and much rarer than many allege," he added.
Aides have portrayed Brennan as cautious in the use of drones, restraining others at the CIA or military who would use them more often, even though as the White House's counterterror adviser, he has presided over an explosion of drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Fewer than 50 strikes took place during the Bush administration, while more than 360 strikes have been launched under Obama, according to the website The Long War Journal, which tracks the operations.
Administration officials say Brennan would further limit the use of drones by the CIA and leave the majority of strikes to the military. Brennan signaled in his written answers that he would not seek to expand the CIA's paramilitary operations.
"While the CIA needs to maintain a paramilitary capability ... the CIA should not be used, in my view, to carry out traditional military activities," Brennan wrote, referring to activities like the special operations raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
The CIA's drone strikes primarily focus on al-Qaida and Taliban targets in the tribal regions of Pakistan, while the military has launched strikes against al-Qaida targets in Yemen and Somalia. The agency also carries out strikes in Yemen, where three American citizens with al-Qaida connections have been killed: Anwar al-Awlaki, his 16-year-old-son and Samir Khan.
Brennan said he would work to improve the CIA's intelligence collection and performance across the Arab world after a spate of unanticipated unrest, from the revolts of the Arab Spring to the terror attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya.
Brennan will also face questions about charges that White House officials leaked details of the administration's national security policies, including its cyberattacks against Iran's nuclear infrastructure, to burnish Obama's standing as commander in chief ahead of last year's presidential election.
Brennan told the Senate committee that he was questioned as a voluntary witness in a leaks investigation the White House launched in response to congressional anger.
He also said that in his current role, he is "vigilant about not disclosing classified intelligence matters with unauthorized persons" but added that "in exceptional circumstances ... it may be necessary to acknowledge classified information to a member of the media or to declassify information for the very purpose of limiting damage to national security."

How are humans reshaping the wild lands around us, and what will the consequences be? Nova Scotia's mammals can guide us toward the answer.
Dr. Christina Buesching is a behavioral ecologist who's research centers around the questions of why animals behave the way they do, how animals modify their behavior to accommodate changing environmental conditions, and how animals communicate their behavioral intentions to others. Christina has worked on a wide variety of mammals, ranging from Australian marsupials and Madagascan prosimians to European carnivores and rodents.
Although I have worked on a wide variety of mammals in the past, ranging from Australian marsupials to Madagascan prosimians and European carnivores and rodents, I prefer the temperate ecosystems of the Northern Hemisphere. These northern ecosystems have to fulfill many different roles, from wildlife conservation to providing the human population with food and recreational space. In this context, I am fascinated by finding new ways of affecting behavioral changes in wild animals as to avoid human–wildlife conflicts. That is, I am trying to modify nuisance behavior rather than persecuting nuisance species.
I have become increasingly interested in the sociopolitical and biological implications of the involvement of volunteers in ecological monitoring and scientific data collection. Investigating the underlying motivation and expectation of volunteers of different socioeconomic backgrounds as well as developing appropriate training and volunteer management techniques for scientists working with volunteers has become one of my passions…I enjoy teaching people from different backgrounds about their environment, and I hope to raise environmental awareness by alerting people to the beauty of nature.

Saramago opened the scoring on the twenty-minute mark with a curling shot from distance. He wasted no time adding to his tally, scoring again in the 33rd minute, after an excellent through ball from Jared Gilbey. The Red Bulls picked up where they left off in the second half with a well-worked team goal that was converted after a good spell of possession. The move finished with Sean Teixeria's cross to Barry Sharifi who made no mistake with his finish. Sharifi would turn provider moments later when his through ball played in the ever dangerous Saramago behind the Bolts defense for his hat trick. Saramago made a powerful run inside the Bolts penalty area and showed composure on the finish. FC Boston Bolts scored on the 68th minute to deny Matthew Rosenberg the shutout who was making his first start of the season in the Red Bulls goal. New York picked up their level to close out the game. Saramago scored from Jared Gilbey's free kick on the 75th minute, followed by another good combination with Sharifi to score his fifth of the game and Red Bulls' sixth. "After playing to a scoreless draw the week before we made it a priority to take our chances this week and put the game to rest early," Man of the Match Brian Saramago said. "It was nice to get on the scoresheet, but the most important thing was getting the three points. The team played great this week and hopefully we could carry this momentum into what will be a big game against a good Montreal side."

SofiST wrote:Yeah, finally achieved that CATA work well with STs . But it costed a lot of time and nerves, + almost killed STE and protoboard because of too much solderings, testings.
Just to say: basic concept of data transfer is same as in first test version (what ensures high speeds). But I reworked IF pretty much in last weeks: it has now almost perfect IDE timings, filtered out some glitches in signals + did some necessary changes in driver SW.
Considering CATA vs Link - actually not link, but AdSCSI ST adapter .
First is for IDE disks, so CF cards, classic PATA hard disks, CD/DVD ROM drives - still shops are full with PATA variants, not to mention a lot of lying around.
Second is for SCSI. At moment I'm not sure can some SCSI CD Writer work via AdSCSI ST - I did not see that someone says strictly that it works not. But I'm really not so much for writing CDs at all on ST machines.
For both stays: speed is top, what is achievable on regular ST(E) machines. And AdSCSI ST can more than Atari says for ACSI port max data rate.

Just to understand, i would know if CATA works with HDDRIVER (by Uwe) or it needs of a custom driver sw.

It was proposed here couple times, among others by Ijor - to make a rev. enineering . I think that it is real, not easy, but also not extremely hard. Problem is, as may know that GAL chips are protected from reading out internal logic. But it can be get by examining behaviour. Knowing where pins are connected we can deduct their functions, and then may get slowly internal logic, by well concepted tests- Myself did couple times such examinations, although with simpler circuits, containing GALs or PALs.
