Travion Blount's punishment may be the harshest in America for a teen who didn't commit murder. The 15-year-old robbed a Norfolk party with two older gang members. He hurt no one. His friends got 10 and 13 years. But as it stands, Blount will die in prison.

It's actually nothing to be concerned about, if you want to assemble and protest for example all you need to do is tell the police. They will then help you organise yourselves and provide assistance on the day. The new laws are there to protect people from quickly formed groups with little or noorganisation which almost always descend into violence and unruly behaviour. There was a trend recently of people enciting mobs to gather via facebook and when they did gather it was chaos, people were hurt and damage was done to properties etc. Although on the face of it the new laws seem obsurd after giving it a little thought you can see what the jist of the law is. Also the examples of strange ASBO's are just that strange ASBO's there are many many other cases where total pricks have been served ASBO's

Second Sight Argus II Dan Foley
The Argus II does something once thought impossible—it gives sight to the blind. The device is the first FDA-approved artificial retina. It consists of a miniature video camera mounted on a pair of glasses that sends footage to a microprocessor worn on a person’s belt. The processor converts the visual data to electronic signals, which are transmitted wirelessly to a 60-pixel electrode array implanted in the back of the eye. The optic nerve picks up these signals and sends them to the brain, where they are interpreted as rudimentary gray-scale images.So far, the Argus has enough resolution for people to see the lines of a crosswalk, find objects, and read letters a couple of centimeters tall. The device is currently approved for patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a group of degenerative diseases that affect two million people worldwide. And trials are planned to test the treatment of macular degeneration, the most common cause of blindness in Americans over the age of 60.
STATS
Electrode array resolution: 6 x 10
Battery life per charge: 2.5 to 6 hours
Color: Gray scale
