President Donald Trump teased an upcoming executive order on health care on Tuesday, potentially setting up a new front in the Obamacare wars that experts worry could destabilize insurance markets.
"With Congress the way it is, I decided to take it upon myself," Trump said at a meeting with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, referring to the inability of lawmakers to pass health care reform. "So we'll be announcing that soon as far as the signing is concerned. But it's largely worked out."

When the Brain's Wiring Breaks
Among all the bad things that can happen to the brain when it is severely jolted - in a car accident, for example - one of the most common and worrisome is axon damage. Axons are the long stalks that grow out of the bodies of neurons and carry signals to other neurons. They are part of the brain's "wiring," and they sometimes grow to amazing lengths - from the brain all the way down to the spinal cord. But axons are thin and fragile. When the brain receives a strong blow, axons are often stressed past their structural limits. They either break or swiftly degenerate.
The research is in Nature Communications. (full open access)

Major Breakthrough Identifies Mechanism for Development of Schizophrenia

Indiana is being vague about why it's withholding some of Mike Pence’s emails
Indiana officials are refusing to release an indeterminate number of emails from private AOL accounts that Mike Pence used while he was governor, and they’re not saying whether the vice president’s lawyers influenced which messages should be withheld.

Somebody asked me if there was a danger that a rocket landing on the Saturnian moon Titan would ignite the volitiles present with the intense heat of the rocket exhaust.
I answered that would not be a problem because there was no oxygen in Titan's atmosphere. As a matter of fact, I knew about that when I was a teenager, having read Isaac Asimov's mystery story The Dust Of Death.
In reality Titan does not have methane in its atmosphere, but it does have seas full of the stuff.

Tianjara Dreaming , Morton NP
The view from the top of Tianjara Mesa, near the top of the falls.
As the spring rain starts to fall across the mountains, i am travelling to the waterfalls to watch them reawaken after a dry winter.
Most of my panoramas are vertical, but this one had a pleasing mix of thunder caps, mesa top and cliffs and the forest fed by the waterfall 60m (210') below.
The forest on top of the mesa is a mix of dry eucalypts and small bushes - such as banksias. The forest below is dense and much higher.
The waterfall beside me was only just starting to awaken - and the air was alive with the sound of native bees and a soft breeze.
A single horizontal panorama toned for structure and output sharpened for screens. The net effect of these two processes under magnification is not unlike looking at a painting - which is what it feels like up there when the wind drops :)

"AI computing company Nvidia intends to ship a next-generation version of its automotive supercomputer next year packed with enough processing power to enable deployment of fully autonomous cars that don't need steering wheels or pedals."
"The newest iteration of Nvidia's Drive PX computer platform, dubbed 'Pegasus,' handles 320 trillion operations per second, an impossibly large number that's at least 10 times more than its predecessor. The company will begin shipping it to auto and tech customers some time in late 2018."
