Marquez Undergoes Surgery To Correct Eye Problem
Marc Marquez has undergone surgery to correct the double vision which has troubled him since his crash during practice at Sepang. The operation, carried out at the Ophthalmological Institute at the Hospital Clinico de Barcelona, was aimed at fixing the paralysis of one of the muscles that help rotate and stabilize the eye. The surgery was performed with only local anaesthetic, while Marquez also received some sedation to help him through the operation. After the successful surgery, Marquez now returns home to recuperate, and will have to rest for a few days. His doctors reported that if his recovery goes well, Marquez could be fit enough to take part in the next Moto2 test, scheduled for February 8th - 10th at Valencia.
The problems that the surgery was aimed at fixing stemmed from the crash during practice at Sepang. During the crash, Marquez suffered some trauma to his trochlear nerve, which had caused paralysis of the superior oblique muscle, which controls the rotation of the eyeball in certain directions. Although Marquez had been recovering reasonably well from the damage, his vision was not sufficiently clear to allow him to race at the level required for Moto2. After consultation with a number of specialists, Marquez and his team decided to have surgery to try to correct the problem.

Report: Supreme Court: Feds not allowed to use GPS on autos without warrant
Filed under: Government/Legal, Technology, Police/Emergency
Law enforcement agencies are now required to obtain a warrant before attaching a
GPS device to a vehicle.
The Detroit News reports the
Supreme Court unanimously ruled today that the Justice Department was wrong when it argued that its agents didn’t need permission to track private citizens without their knowledge.
The
case in question centered around Antoine Jones, a Washington, D.C. nightclub owner and suspected drug dealer. Police installed a GPS device on Jones’ wife’s
Jeep Grand Cherokee, which eventually led them to a substantial amount of cocaine. Jones was then sentenced to life in prison.
But Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that installing the device constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment. Specifically, Justice Scalia said, “The government physically occupied private property for the purpose of obtaining information.”
In the Jones case, law enforcement agents had obtained the proper warrants to attach the device, but didn’t manage to attach it within the 10 days specified in the warrant. The
FBI accumulated 2,000 pages of data over four weeks by tracking the vehicle.
