Stem cell transplantation
Cognitive and academic consequences of stem cell transplantation in children have also been evaluated. In a report from the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in which 268 patients were treated with stem cell transplant, minimal risk of late cognitive and academic sequelae was seen. Subgroups of patients were at relatively higher risk, including those undergoing unrelated donor transplantation, receiving total-body irradiation, and developing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, these differences were small relative to differences in premorbid functioning, particularly those associated with socioeconomic status.[45]
Neurocognitive function of pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies who had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was evaluated prior to HSCT and then at 1, 3, and 5 years post-HSCT. In this series of 38 patients who had all received intrathecal chemotherapy as part of their treatment, significant declines in visual motor skills and memory test scores were noted within the first year posttransplant. By 3 years posttransplant, there was an improvement in the visual motor development scores and memory scores, but there were new deficits seen in long-term memory scores. By 5 years posttransplant, there were progressive declines in verbal skills, performance skills, and new deficits seen in long-term verbal memory scores. The greatest decline in neurocognitive function occurred in patients who received cranial irradiation either as part of their initial therapy or as part of their HSCT conditioning.[46]
Most neurocognitive late effects are thought to be related to white matter damage in the brain. This was investigated in children with leukemia who were treated with HSCT. In a series of 36 patients, performance on neurocognitive measures associated with white matter was compared with performance on measures associated with gray matter. Composite white matter scores were significantly lower than composite gray matter scores.[47]
Neurologic Sequelae
Neurologic complications may be predisposed by tumor location, neurosurgery, radiation therapy, or specific neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. In children with CNS tumors, mass effect, tumor infiltration, and increased intracranial pressure may result in motor or sensory deficits, cerebellar dysfunction, and such secondary effects as seizures and cerebrovascular complications.

Morning SWAT raid
Morning SWAT raid
WALLA WALLA –Police arrested two men in separate SWAT raids early this morning following investigations by the Walla Walla Police Department Specials Teams Unit into drug trafficking and gang violence.
Officer Tim Bennett, department spokesman, issued a news release stating SWAT team members arrested Mario Diaz Jr., 19, at roughly 6 a.m. At 247 W. Chestnut St. in connection with an assault on New Year's morning.
According to Bennett, Diaz was a primary suspect in an assault on two men who were walking in the area of Chase and Chestnut Street on Jan. 1. The two men reported they were attacked and beaten by roughly 15 gang members.
Both victims told police their attackers had brandished weapons, and that Diaz had pointed a handgun at one of the men, and told him not to move while other gang members kicked him while on the ground, Bennett stated in the release.
Bennett also stated Diaz attempted to flee when SWAT team members forced entry into the residence on Chestnut, but no one was injured during the raid.
Diaz was lodged in the Walla Walla County Jail for investigation of second-degree assault, felony riot and possession of a pistol by a minor.
Police also arrested a man in connection with an investigation into drug trafficking in a separate raid, conducted at 203 N. Fifth Ave. at roughly 6:30 a.m.
According to Bennett, Steven Duggan, 47, was taken into custody without incident for investigation of two counts of delivery of methamphetamine. Duggan is also wanted in Oregon for a parole violation. Bennett said.

Hint of the Week Competition
Hi Guest,
We are now giving away one 12 month membership per week to the person who donates the best tip to the Savings Vault. Everyone can enter. If you are already a member you win an extra 12 months added on to your existing membership.
This week Jessica Rupe has won 12 months membership to the Savings Vault with this great hint:
DIY vacuum sealer for next to nothing!
We know that buying in bulk is a great way to cut down the grocery bill, but your bulk bargains are not a bargain when they expire before you use them all up. Vacuum sealing your groceries and keeping them in the freezer cuts down on waste, but special vacuum seal machines and bags are pretty pricey and take up a lot of space. What do you do? I've found a solution that allows you to vacuum seal your food for next to nothing.
Grab the largest mixing bowl in your kitchen and fill it with ice water. Put your food in regular zip lock bags, but don't zip them up all the way - leave a small space open. Submerge the bags in the ice water, but keep the water away from the zipper. (Tip - I use a plastic drinking cup to submerge the bags, this keeps my hands from getting cold!). The pressure from the water will push the air out of the bag. Now you can zip the bag the rest of the way before you pull it out of the water. I do this in my kitchen sink to cut down on the mess. Voila - your own vacuum sealed bags for next to nothing!
The best way to win a membership is to write helpful, interesting, unique and error free hints. You need to include how much money you saved, how you saved it, what you did and how much you paid. The more detail you provide the more likely you are to win a 12 month membership.
You do not have to answer all the questions to enter the competition. Each hint entered is judged separately. If you send 5 hints. They will be considered 5 separate entries. Which means you have a much higher chance of winning by entering one or two top quality hints than if you entered twenty brief, vague tips. Quality is everything!
If you do not have an answer to a question, or it does not apply to you, please leave it blank.
Thanks for giving it a go. Good luck!
Many grins,

But will it be enough to compete with experienced heavy hitters?
Political insiders like Donna Brazile, former campaign manager for Al Gore's 2000 campaign and an ABC News consultant, wonder.
"Unless he's able to raise $50 million to $75 million by the end of 2007, he won't be seen as a serious contender. Hillary Clinton will be able to raise that overnight," Brazile told ABC News.
Beyond the excitement of Democrats and some in the media, it's not tough to discern a feeling of confusion on Capitol Hill.
The question one often hears may be fueled by some resentment and jealousy, sure, but it bears answering: Just who the hell is Barack Obama? And why on Earth should he be trusted in these dangerous times with the most powerful job on Earth?
His biography is part of his selling point: Born in Hawaii to a white mother from Kansas and an African father, Obama moved around a lot as a child. After college he became a community organizer. Then he went to Harvard Law School where he became the first black president of its esteemed law review.
Chicago businesswoman Valerie Jarrett has known Obama and his wife, Michelle, for more than 15 years.
"He's a wonderful listener. He's compassionate, and he's the kind of person where if you pick up the phone and your voice sounds a little funny, he knows it right away and says, 'What's going on with you?'" Jarrett said.
What's going on with Obama is a catapulting into the celebrity stratosphere -- Jay Leno, Monday Night Football, Oprah Winfrey.
It all seems pretty heady. Obama even made People magazine photographed in a bathing suit near spreads about Hollywood pinups Penelope Cruz and Hugh Jackman.
Jarrett said that Obama was embarrassed by the photo.
"He was mortified. … It was a wake-up call. They think they are enjoying a quiet family moment, and they weren't," Jarrett said. "So in a sense it's a message that this is what their life is going to be like, and he's decided that it's worth it."
Former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie does not know Obama, and disagrees with his politics. He admires his talent, though.
"He is a very good speaker. I saw him in Boston at the Democratic National Convention, and he did a very good job," Gillespie told ABC News. "He enjoys a pretty broad appeal."
But Gillespie notes what Obama himself has acknowledged: that right now he's in many ways a blank slate on which fans are projecting their views and their hopes, and that this popularity is unlikely to remain the more people find out about him.
"Right now I think there are a lot of moderate Democrats who assume he is a moderate and a lot of liberal Democrats who assume he is a liberal democrat," Gillespie said. "In the end, given his numbers somebody is going to be disappointed."
Democrats may be disappointed to learn that as a teenager Obama did cocaine, as he said in the "Nightline" interview.
"Well, when I was in high school, you know, I did a lot of stupid things," he said.
Democrats may not like what they hear about a questionable land deal Obama was involved in with a political operative, who has since been indicted on fraud charges.
He told "Nightline" he could have handled the deal better.
"We paid higher than the appraised value. But, you know, it's a situation where I missed, sort of, the potential appearance of impropriety, or at least the possibility that he was doing me a favor," he said.

This paper examines some of the daily realities of operating a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm in eastern Iowa and addresses the concept of community among growers. Popular depictions of local foods systems often emphasize the close relationships that develop between producers and consumers. This picture, however, may gloss over the necessary complexities of a healthy local food system. CSA has been promoted as a direct marketing strategy for small-scale growers and touted as a way of developing positive relationships between producers and consumers. Nevertheless, it is also important to understand that successful CSA initiatives are often reliant on a broad network of support that includes more than just growers and eaters. Ethnographic descriptions of CSA farms presented here show how involvement by media and other organizations contribute to successful CSAs as well as an overall concept of "civic agriculture." These descriptions also show that access to affordable, reliable labor tends to be among the greatest challenges for CSA growers.

As night falls on a west Oklahoma City truck stop, the chatter rises on the citizens band radio. A trucker, lonely for more than conversation, waits for word on Channel 19.
Prostitutes Haunt Truck Stops Look at Drivers' World Reveals Sex, Drugs
A woman giggles and clears her throat before making her pitch.
She is a commercial lady - truck-stop lingo for someone pursuing the world's oldest profession.
"Anybody looking for some commercial company? Go to one-seven. " The woman switches to the less-used Channel 17. So do at least two other voices of the night.
"Did we make it? " a male voice asks.
"Yeah. " "Where are you at? " With a hint of caution in her voice, the lady of the airwaves advises the man to switch to another channel before dealing.
"Did you make it? " she asks.
"Yeah," he responds. "Where are you at? " "Where are you at? " He responds with a truck stop name. "Where are you at? " The same truck stop, she answers. "Where are you at? " "I'm by the fuel line," he responds.
The dealing continues. The commercial lady wants more proof of her potential customer's identity.
"What kind of truck are you in? " "A Freightliner. " "What color? " "White. " "Flash your lights. " The lights on a tractor-trailer flash on and off as a security guard strolls by a gas pump area a few feet away. He walks on, apparently unaware - or unconcerned - of the sideline business being conducted. The deal goes awry, but another voice is ready and waiting on the CB's channels.
It's the nocturnal world of trucking, prostitution and drugs, where police throw up their hands and truck stop owners tolerate the unmanageable. It's a society full of familylike ties and jargon, where reputation is everything, where feuds can erupt at the slightest provocation.
Truck washer Denver Smith's spotted mutt lies upside-down on the bed. Another mutt hobbles between the narrow gaps of furniture in the smoky, half-packed room, a room serving as a temporary home for Smith and his wife, a room facing the Truckstops of America near Interstate 40 and Council Road.
It's called the "TA," a place to wash, sleep, and find "lot lizards" - nickname for truck stop prostitutes.
Smith's whiskey-filled eyes swim out the open hotel window toward the lumbering trucks. Surely a lizard will be along.
Although he's avoiding prostitutes these days, his curiosity forces the look. If nothing else, he says, you can hear them on the CB. He'll sell the used radio real cheap, by the way. It's legal.
Legal just like that 12-gauge shotgun that protrudes from between the mattresses.
Smith, see, has been threatened by the 250-pound husband of a local prostitute. It's a tale to be resumed later.
Radio Against Radio Truck-stop prostitution is blatant, but police say they can do little to prevent it. The same technology that gives officers the edge in busting other criminals with sting operations also helps truck stop hookers avoid getting caught.
At most, officers say they can try to keep the activity from spiraling out of control.
Some commercial girls have radios in their own cars; others use truckers' CBs; still others camp out in hotel rooms with radios tuned in.
"This is a very tight-knit group of people," Oklahoma City police vice detective Mark Wenthold said. "When we try to run a sting, we can make only one or two arrests before they get on their radios and shut everything down. " Commercial girls won't deal with a person unless he can show he is driving a rig, so officers must get truckers' assistance to even start a sting operation.
"If you say you are in a car or if they see you are in a car, 99 percent of the time they won't talk to you," Wenthold said.
But they will talk if it means staying out of jail.
Officer Jimmy Parsons, who patrols several northwest Oklahoma City truck stops, said he'll cut a deal with commercial girls who can lead him to bigger arrests. The women point out where drugs are being sold, where other hookers are working - anything to help out.
He keeps photos of the women, with criminal histories and intelligence cards attached. The petite woman in one photo is 20 - she looks like a shy high school cheerleader. Another woman has two photos - with and without a wig. The wig, however, doesn't change the woman's hardened, bitter glare.
"They use so many names it's the only way to know who you are dealing with," Parsons said.
The officers say some of the women deal in drugs themselves, often working to support drug habits. And some truckers have a penchant for speed and other eye-openers to help make their long stretches more interesting.
So some prostitutes become informants, Parsons said. But burn the police and it's off to jail.
Truckers Who Steer Clear Not all truckers participate. Many, like Karl Norberg of Poteau, are offended when approached by prostitutes at truck stops. Norberg has called the sheriff on such women, only to be disgusted by law enforcement's lack of enforcement.
"Truck drivers have a bad enough name already," Norberg said.
For Norberg, it came to a head one sunset back in June when a commercial girl approached him at a Logan County rest area along I-35. The lizard, he said, had the audacity to solicit him with his wife sitting in the rig.

Sustainable Computing: Sleep or Hibernate?
Leaving your computer on when it's not in use is a waste of energy. Features like Sleep and Hibernate make it easy to power down your system when you're not using it, and these features are more reliable now than in previous versions of Windows. Here's a look at the differences between these features and some best practices for configuring them.

Tales of Home, Life, and Death: Panaibra Gabriel Canda and Faustin Linyekula
Joan Frosch
Oct 2014
In intimate dance works, Panaibra Gabriel Canda (Mozambique) and Faustin Linyekula (Democratic Republic of Congo) have telescoped their immensely complex histories to the scale of the person. The artists seem to say: "Come, look through my lens. You'll recognize what was previously unseen, unnamed, or unknown to you. Think of me as an alter ego. It is a matter of the life or death of our shared humanity."

For many in the museum world, the term scholarly collections catalogue can conjure daunting impressions: a book about a museum's holdings, it involves years of collecting, researching, photographing, and writing, plus a huge printing budget, all to create a tome that is likely out of date the moment it hits the shelf. Enter The Living Collections Catalogue, the Walker's new serial online publication.

Behavioral artist Marcus Young likens conceptual choreographer Jérôme Bel's work to guided meditation. "Everything that is unnecessary is pared away.

You should go willingly, and if you do you are transported, not away, but further into where you are, your own humanity."

Toews: "It doesn't feel like we're down 3-1″
Apr 19, 2012, 11:41 PM EDT
The Chicago Blackhawks and Phoenix Coyotes have given us a lot in the first four games of their series. In fact, they tied an NHL record by sending their first four game to overtime, becoming the only teams to do that other than the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens way back in 1951. Yet for all that, the Blackhawks must feel a little stunned to be down 3-1 in the series thanks to tonight's 3-2 overtime loss.
Toews has been a surprisingly robust source of frank quotes lately, and he nailed the mood when he spoke with Chris Kuc.
"It doesn't feel like we're down 3-1," Toews said. "Every game has been close. Tonight, especially, it's a little disappointing."
The Blackhawks have shown that they can fight back from a big deficit to at least make a series out of things before. As you probably remember, the Vancouver Canucks had them down 3-0 last season only to need a dramatic Alexander Burrows overtime-winner to squeak by Chicago in Game 7 of last year's first round.
Of course, the bottom line is that the Blackhawks still lost that series – close or not.
In a way, Mikkel Boedker's game-winner might be symbolic of this first round skirmish. The Blackhawks nearly scored on the other end only to see Boedker break in and just barely beat Corey Crawford.
We'll see if that moment ends up telling the story or if Chicago can turn things around and make things awfully interesting once again.

One of the most honest captains in sports.
- nobandwagoners - Apr 20, 2012 at 12:03 AM
Maybe if he were to admit that Phoenix is "exposing them [Chicago] for who they are".
Go Phoenix! Who'd figure the Hawks would have so much problem with the Yotes (no offence Phoenix)
- tbeilfuss - Apr 20, 2012 at 12:08 AM
Anyone who watches hockey would. Blackhawks struggle with all dump and chase/defensive teams.
- howiehandles - Apr 20, 2012 at 8:44 AM
Do you watch hockey much? The Hawks struggled all year vs teams like this.
'exposing them'? Can you come up with an original thought?
The Hawks were a flawed team to begin with, note their fourth place finish.
And let's face it, neither team is going past the second round anyways.
- comeonnowguys - Apr 20, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Exactly. Why do you think Blackhawk fans were most wary of Nashville down the stretch of the regular season? They are by far the best team and forcing opponents to do this.
Let's start a drinking game. Everytime Kane tries to skate between two defenders to enter the zone and coughs it up before he gets to the high slot, take a drink.
Two shifts and you'll be drunk.
- wisbadgers - Apr 20, 2012 at 12:04 AM
The better team won tonight. I'm not sure where this Boyd Gordon came from, but he was unbelievable tonight. Smith played huge too. That was one of the lamest goals I have ever seen. Crawford sucks.
- capsfan19 - Apr 20, 2012 at 1:05 AM
Ha he's from the caps. You're welcome!
- comeonnowguys - Apr 20, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Yeah, um the better goalie won tonight.
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Apr 20, 2012 at 12:43 AM
I feel bad for him and the Hawks. Crawford can't allow that goal in OT, it was brutal.
- howiehandles - Apr 20, 2012 at 8:45 AM
This has been going on all year with him. He's good for a softy per game.
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Apr 20, 2012 at 1:53 PM
True, but that one was beyond soft. It literally went through him.
- micasa81 - Apr 20, 2012 at 1:47 AM
Maybe ot doesn't feel like an outright loss anymore on account of all the charity points. Then the playoffs (a.k.a. reality) come.
- canuck54143 - Apr 20, 2012 at 8:12 AM
One good goalie away from cup champions… Crawford is a great back up goalie,
- howiehandles - Apr 20, 2012 at 8:48 AM
I don't know about that. They still need a second line center, a physical forward (gee, they gave up one in Brouwer), and another defenseman. Leddy is young, but he's brutal Took the wrong angle which led to the breakaway, just one instance of his many errors each game. The kid has good upside, especially as an offensive dman, but yikes. And Oduya has proven in the playoffs, to be the opposite of the guy who finished the stretch with the Hawks.
Hopefully they'll make the necessary changes, but then again, the brain-trust told the fans that they carved out cap room so they could use it for the stretch. Ooops.
- howiehandles - Apr 20, 2012 at 8:49 AM
You want Crawford? Schneider for Crawford, even up. I'll even drive him there, and throw in Emery.
- comeonnowguys - Apr 20, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Oh my God. Does this mean we have to go for Luongo?
I think I just ruined my weekend.

Maybe it'll sink in a bit once the Yotes knock you fellas out, Johnny.

Welcome Home (Coheed and Cambria song)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2009)
|"Welcome Home"
|Single by Coheed and Cambria
|from the album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
|September 2005
|Progressive metal, alternative metal, symphonic metal
4:29 (radio edit)
|Columbia, Equal Vision
|Michael Birnbaum, Chris Bittner, Coheed and Cambria
|Coheed and Cambria singles chronology
"Welcome Home" is a song by the rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the third track on the album, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. The song was the first single on the album, and was made into a music video. The song tells of the hostility in The Writer and Miss Erica Court's relationship in the story of Coheed and Cambria. The song is featured as a playable track in the game Rock Band and as well is featured in the soundtrack of the Xbox 360 version of Madden NFL 06. It was also the official theme of the rebranded version of WWE NXT between June 2012 and February 2014 before NXT Arrival debuted on the WWE Network.
Music video[edit]
The music video opens with a red liquid resembling blood forming the band's symbol, the Keywork, during the opening acoustic guitar riff. As the other instruments kick in, the band is shown playing on a metallic silver stage, as pictures rise out of the ground around them. The pictures then begin to play scenes from the storyline. The video alternates between the storyline and the band's performance throughout the rest of the video. The video is nearly two minutes shorter than the album version of the song, due to the shortening of the intro and the exclusion of part of the solo.
Inclusion in Rock Band[edit]
In 2007, this song was included in the Harmonix music video game Rock Band, exposing Coheed and Cambria to a considerably wider audience. However, the words "whore" and "fucking" were edited to "wolf" and "mucking" respectively.[1]
In June 2008 the song "animals" was featured in a television advertisement for the Wii version of Rock Band. In July 2008 it then went on to become the magazine High Times best music video for choreography and vocals.
Appearances in popular culture[edit]
The song was used in the trailer and soundtrack for the movie 9. It was also featured in the film Aaron vs. Hitler. It is used in the promo ad for the TV channel Versus. It is frequently used as "bumper music" in Sirius/Xm Satellite Radio program "The Wrap Up Show" on Howard 100/101.
The song makes frequent appearances as a sports theme. It was featured in an ad for the Wheeling Nailers. Portions of the song are used as the power play song for the 2009–10 Buffalo Sabres. This song is used in the intro video for the 2009–10 Atlanta Hawks and for the 2009–10 Dallas Stars. The song was used as the theme song for OVW professional wrestler, Kamikaze Kid, and by Detroit Tigers second baseman Will Rhymes for all plate appearances. It is also featured in the soundtrack for Madden NFL 06.
The song was once covered by the USC Trojan Marching Band. They later joined Coheed and Cambria on stage at Coachella to perform the song with them.
The original song was remixed by Shawn "Clown" Crahan of Slipknot during the All Hope Is Gone World Tour, in which both bands toured. The single was playable on Coheed & Cambria's MySpace page before being made available as a single on iTunes.
The song was used as the theme for WWE NXT between June 2012 and February 2014 before NXT Arrival debuted on the WWE Network.
The song was used in the pre-game video for the Boston Celtics during the 2012 NBA Playoffs all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Originally written on The Hockey Guys | Last updated 1/31/13
By Joe Depto (@JoeDepto) Getty Images Once again this season, close wasn't simply good enough for the Columbus Blue Jackets. On Tuesday, the Jackets lost 3-2 in a competitive game against the Minnesota Wild, squandering away a solid performance from CBJ netminder Steve Mason. In addition to coming up short on the offensive side of the ice, Columbus was hit hard with a series of injuries in their own end as well. Defensemen Nikita Nikitin (head) and Adrian Aucoin (lower-body) both left the game early, forcing the Blue Jackets to finish the game with just four defenseman. In the wake of a number of injuries, the Blue Jackets turn to call-ups from Springfield As a result of both Tyutin and Aucoin being injured, David Savard, who has been a healthy scratch in each of the Jackets' games this season, will finally see ice time on Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues but it might not help their NHL odds.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
On the eve of testing of the 2011 model year patrol vehicles, Lt. Keith Wilson of the Michigan State Police precision driving unit sat down with POLICE in Lansing to review the five new patrol vehicles, explain testing proceedures, and discuss officer safety during high-speed pursuits. Listen for Wilson's explanation of how Ford plans to get a "sneak peek" of the performance of its new police interceptors while it continues to develop the replacement for the Crown Vic.
The Ford Motor Co. released this "b roll" of its new 2012 Police Interceptor sedan and SUV. The clip shows the vehicles in motion and gives a tour inside the SUV, which was unveiled Sept. 1.
Increased comfort and convenience, improved vehicle ingress and egress, advanced technology, and improved officer safety mark the next generation of police cars.
The Ford Motor Co.'s March announcement that it will introduce a new patrol car has been met with a high level of interest from officers who have been driving the Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor since the 1990s. Ford has been producing vehicles for law enforcement for almost 100 years. Here's a look at photos and ads through the years that feature the company's vehicles, beginning with a Model T police truck produced in 1919.
Can the police version of the Taurus sustain Ford's domination of the patrol car market? What we can say now is that the NGPI is a fine-looking automobile with the sleek lines of a luxury sports sedan; it performs like a muscle car; and it was designed from the ground up for police duty.
Ford's new Taurus-based police interceptor will replace the aging "Crown Vic" in late 2011. Like the civilian version of the 2010 Taurus, the new full-sized patrol car will arrive in all-wheel and front-wheel drive versions and a pair of powertrain configurations. The V-6 engines will deliver better performance than many current V-8s, according to Ford.

I've been gone for a while, seeing as real life decided to hit me harder than a brick. After much stress, I came back happy.
And with a new idea.
See, after playing Dungeons and Dragons for the first time in my entire life (seriously), I've found that the game is... nerd-rage inducing. For those that play it, I mean. So, upon playing the game for what I believe was nearly... 5 hours, I went and decided to come up with another RP. Using some of the things from there, I also decided to add an Oerba touch.
The idea itself is not named. However, it has an outline.
You play as magic-wielding beings called the Fallen. The Fallen are powerful beings said to be able to tap into the very essence of the arcane. They are strong, undisputed, and ostracized. Fallen are considered to be abominations due to their affiliations with Celestial and Downworld Beings.
You see, there are three factions; the Celestials, the Fallen, and the Downworld. The Celestials include various angels and other holy beings; including Seraphim, Archangels, and such. The Downworlders are those who dwell in the "darker" parts of the world. These include Demons, Hellbeasts, Devils, etc. These two factions are constantly at war with one another. However, due to their almost evenly matched power; they use the next best solution.
Live human proxies. They send mystical sentiments; the Revivers, to perform their main task: recruiting live weapons to harvest a definitive power. The humans, chosen from no order at all, are given power by their Reviver. Their Reviver pits them through tests of strength and will; to pass means to keep your power and become a weapon of war, to fail means to have your power stripped and your soul corrupted and taken, forever left to wallow in eternity. As such, the branding of Fallen is considered a death sentence.
The Fallen, in essence, are mixes of both Celestial and Downworlder energy; combined into an abominable mass within a human. As such, they have access to a wide arsenal of abilities: enhanced speed and strength, access to magic, eternal youth, the Fallen Triggers(*), and powers even more mysterious underneath. The Fallen, in exchange for this power, are given the task of defeating/recruiting other Fallen for their cause; essentially bringing a much more decisive and diverse army into play. All in preparation for warfare.
Now, the Fallen are ranked based on their strength level. When they first begin, all Fallen are F-Rank. However, as time passes; as they gain more power, as they defeat more enemies, their power grows steadily. Until finally, they reach S-Rank.
However, it is unknown what happens then; or really, how long it would take to reach the level of S-Rank.
*A Fallen Trigger is a state of enhanced performance for a Fallen. They gain enhanced strength, speed, performance, and magical power. A typical Fallen's Trigger will be at least 2-3 Ranks stronger than themselves.
And now, as you finish reading that; you're probably like "Oerba, how does this have anything to do with Dungeons and Dragons? Where's the loot? Where are the alignments, blah blah"
I was getting to that.
I want to take the alignments system from DnD.
- Lawful Good
- Lawful Neutral
- Lawful Evil
- Neutral
- Neutral Good
- Neutral Evil
- Chaotic Good
- Chaotic Neutral
- Chaotic Evil
Those will be used in the RP as well. Not only that, but you're assigned missions by your Reviver. As such, loot and other stuff will be explored. Creatures, humans, deities, the works.

1. A method of producing a decorative pattern on and placing an electronic circuit in a plastic card in an injection molding machine, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) introducing and positioning a first film, which has applied on at least one surface thereof a decorative pattern, over an open mold cavity in a mold of the injection molding machine;
(b) closing the mold cavity so that the first film is fixed and clamped in position therein;
(c) after tile closing of the mold cavity, inserting, an electronic circuit chip through an aperture in the mold into the mold cavity to position the chip in the cavity;
(d) subsequently injecting a support composition for the card into the mold cavity to adhere to the first film and chip and to form the card; and
(e) thereafter, removing excess material, opening the mold cavity and removing the card.
2. The method according to claim 1, additionally comprising the step of introducing a second film, having a decorative pattern applied to one surface thereof, into the mold cavity parallel to the first film.
3. The method according to claim 2, additionally comprising the step of stamping a window in the first film, which is to be positioned on the side from which the electronic circuit chip is inserted into the mold cavity.
4. The method according to claim 1, additionally comprising the steps of introducing the chip completely into the mold cavity and, after injection of the support composition, moving the chip back from the cavity until between about 10% and about 20% of its height extends beyond a card surface.
5. The method according to claim 1, additionally comprising the step of introducing the chip into the mold cavity to a position where the chip extends between about 80% and about 90% of its height into the cavity.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the injection molding machine comprises a plurality of molding positions, additionally comprising the steps of positioning the mold in one of the plurality of molding positions and then positioning the film and injecting the support composition of the card simultaneously in different mold positions.
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a decorated chip card, also known as a smart card, and to a mold of an injection molding machine for the manufacture of such a chip card.
A chip card is a card-like device formed primarily of plastic having a credit card format, which has incorporated therein an electronic device or semi-conductor chip. This semi-conductor chip may, for instance, store password data or identifying code data or bank or telephone account data. It may also store account balance information, or be encoded with a "value" which may be used in transactions instead of money, or may be incremented by the purchase of extra "value" points. As compared with magnetically encoded stripes, semi-conductor chips may provide greater security against destruction and/or change of data. In addition, the provision of electronic circuits allows increased data storage and, under certain circumstances, additional functionality. These electronic devices, as well as their interface with associated information reading and recording apparatus, are well known, and need not be explained in detail. The present invention relates to a method of applying decorative graphics to smart cards, and is adaptable to the various smart card formats.
Cards are used by the issuers as advertising supports and also are identified through their surface markings, such as multicolor graphics. In this connection, increasingly greater demands are being made on the design and the nature of the surface of the cards. Thus, these surface marking serve a number of purposes. First, the markings serve to identify the card to both the user and to a merchant. Second, the markings serve to make the cards difficult to counterfeit. Finally, the markings serve to promote the issuer or sponsor of the card. Thus, while the graphics essentially do not affect the function of the card related to the associated electronics, they nevertheless serve an important purpose. Further, the graphics may also be used for positioning the card during its use, and to provide information or instructions.
German Unexamined Patent Application DE OS 31 30 135, incorporated herein by reference, discloses a method for the manufacture of a chip card with data-processing functions, which has a semiconductor chip in which the casting around the support card and the installation of the chip are carded out in two operating steps. The decoration of the chip card is not described in DE OS 31 30 135.
Ordinarily, the card, provided with a chip, is provided with decoration in a separate step, and at a separate station in the manufacturing apparatus, from where the plastic card is molded with the electronic circuit embedded in the card. The need for the expensive and difficult three-dimensional matching of finished chip supports and the applied decoration is a disadvantage in this connection. Thus, the chip cards are subjected to an expensive, time-intensive process after the chip is imbedded in the card.
It is therefore an object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for the manufacture of chip cards in order to produce completely decorated chip cards rapidly and reliably with structurally simple means.
It is a further object of the present invention to apply the surface graphic to a plastic chip card during a molding operation which embeds the electronic chip in the card.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of producing a decorative pattern on a plastic card housing an electronic circuit in an injection molding machine, comprising the steps of introducing and positioning a film, which has applied on at least one surface thereof a decorative pattern, in an open cavity of the injection molding machine, closing the cavity so that the film is fixed and clamped in position, after the closing of the cavity, inserting an electronic circuit chip through an aperture into the mold cavity, injecting a support composition for the card into the mold cavity, after termination of the injection process, punching out the gate, i.e. the impression of the mold gate or runner, to form a card of the final shape, opening the mold cavity and removing the decorated card, and a means for practicing this method.
It is another object of the present invention to stamp a window in the film, positioned on the side of the mold from which the electronic circuit chip is inserted. The chip is then positioned in the cavity, through the window, by means of a pressing means for applying force, finally locating the chip at a position where the chip extends between about 80 to about 90% of its height into the cavity.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method of forming a chip card wherein the mold has a plurality of molding positions and the positioning of the films and the injection of the support composition of the card are effected simultaneously in different mold positions.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an injection molding machine having a mold into the cavity of which support compositions can be injected by an injection device in order to produce a decorated chip card, wherein the mold has two housing parts, a cover part and a bottom part, which are movable perpendicular to the central plane of the cavity of the injection molding machine, and a stationary ring which surrounds the cavity is arranged between the housing side parts. Film-transport devices are arranged on at least one of the housing side pans. One housing side part has a chip feed which has elements for holding the chip, which is a laterally movable holding ram, and channels are provided for connecting a pneumatic actuator in the holding ram.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a mold with film-transport devices arranged on the side of the cover part or bottom part which faces away from the cavity.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a mold in which corresponding sealing surfaces are provided on the housing parts and on the ring. The sealing surfaces may be formed so that decorative films can be guided on the side of the housing side parts facing the cavity and, with the mold closed, can be clamped on at least two sealing surfaces.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide, in addition to the film-transport device arranged on the cover side, a film stamping die for producing a chip-insertion window in the film on the one housing side part.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a molding apparatus for the molding of a chip-card, wherein the electronic chip is inserted in the mold by a pneumatic holding ram, and wherein the holding ram also serves as a stamper for cutting the electronic chips out of a support foil.
It is a still further aspect of the present invention to provide a molding apparatus in which the cover and bottom pans are components of a turntable which can be turned into the various working positions for injection, card removal and component insertion. The working positions for card removal and component insertion may also be combined into a removal/insertion operating position. The turntable may advantageously have an axis of rotation which is perpendicular to the central axis of the injection molding machine, with the cover and bottoms parts mounted so that they are movable parallel to the axis of rotation.
The chip card of the present invention is produced as a finished product in a production cell of the molding machine in the following manner. With the cavity open, decorations arranged on films are introduced in the region of the cavity by means of film-transport devices. The film can be properly positioned in the open cavity by known means, e.g. mechanical, optical position sensing devices. Upon the closing of the cavity, the film is held in its position and fixed in the closed cavity by clamping. In other words, the decoration, on the film, is positioned properly with respect to the open mold, which is then closed, the mold elements adapted to hold the film in place during the molding operation.
The plastic molding composition is forced into the closed cavity by known means. The plastic molding may be any suitable plastic composition which is capable of being injection molded, stiff but not brittle when cooled, and does not electrically or chemically interfere with the operation of the electronic circuit. The heated plastic composition attaches itself to the decoration on the film, which is held fast in position in the cavity by the cover and bottom of the mold, and at the same time adheres to the chip which has also been positioned in the mold cavity prior to the injection molding.
Depending on the required or desired external appearance of the chip card, one or two decorated films can be inserted into the mold cavity prior to molding. If only one film is used, it preferably is decorated on both sides. When a single film is used, it is preferable to arrange it on the side of the cavity opposite the side of the cavity used for the feeding of the chip into the mold. In such an arrangement, the film does not interfere with the insertion of the electronic chip, and there is therefore no need to form an aperture in the film.
If a decoration is provided on the chip side of the card, then the film arranged on the chip side is preferably provided, before being fed into the cavity, with an opening through which the chip can be passed, so that there is an aperture positioned at the intended location of the chip in the card.
The chips, arranged on a support foil, are punched out from the foil and fed into the cavity by a known mechanical device. Of course, other known means of providing an electronic chip to a production device may be employed, according to known methods. Upon introduction of the chip into the empty cavity and throughout the duration of the injection process, the chip is held precisely in its position perpendicular to the wide side of the cavity. Thus, the chip may be accurately held in position in 6 axes of freedom, including length, width, height, roll, pitch and yaw.
After production of the chip card, it is advantageous if the chip extends beyond the top edge of the card because of the known functional considerations. During the attachment of the chip and the injected plastic composition during the manufacturing process, the chip can be initially fixed in its depth of penetration into the cavity, or it can be forced back with the penetrating plastic composition from a completely immersed position to the final dimension with respect to the surface. The chip preferably extends out from the surface of the finished card to the extent of about 10 to about 20% of the total height of the chip. Thus, the electronic chip may be inserted between about 80 to about 90% into the cavity and held fixed in position, or it may be fully inserted in the cavity and then allowed to move back so that about 10 to about 20% of its height extends beyond the surface.
After the completion of the injection molding, the gate, or impression of the mold runner or gate, is punched out, the cavity is opened, and the chip card is removed. A new cycle for the manufacture of a decorated chip card can then commence. The mold gate forms a tab of extra material, which must be removed to form a card of the final shape. This is preferably removed while the card is in the mold.
The mold of the injection molding machine for the manufacture of decorated chip cards has a ring which is detachably fastened on the injection molding machine. This ring forms the side wall of the cavity, while both the cover and bottom consist of housing parts of the injection mold. During the molding process, the ring is pressed tightly against both the cover and bottom, so that a seal is formed, confining the molding compound to the mold cavity. Upon the closing and opening of the cavity, the housing parts are moved perpendicular to the center axis towards and away from the ring, respectively. The ring and the other housing parts which form the cavity can be arranged vertically or horizontally.
Before the introduction of the plastic molding composition into the cavity, the housing pans are pressed against the ring in the region of the sealing surface, thereby avoiding leakage of the plastic composition in the region of the edge of the casting mold. In order to prevent slipping or undesirable movement of the film, a clamping edge is preferably provided on the deflection sides of the housing in the direction of conveyance of the film.
After the solidification of the plastic molding composition of the card base support, including the material in the mold gate region forming the gate, the runner is stamped off. The mold is then opened by moving the cover and/or bottom away from the ring. In this connection, the chip card detaches itself from the decoration support film leaving the decoration affixed to the card. The vacuum is reduced in the device for the holding of the chip, which is now firmly attached to the card. The distance between a housing part and the ring is preferably made greater on the chip side than the height of the chip card, including the protruding end of the chip. Thereupon, the chip card is conveyed out of the mold. It is of course understood that the present mold may incorporate other features known to those skilled in the art, for example temperature controls, cooling apparatus, and static discharge elimination devices (to protect the electronic chip).
Monocells can be used, which are arranged horizontally or vertically. The advantage of using a monocell is the possibility of using standard injection molding devices, and thus being able to apply known and developing technologies to the apparatus of the present invention.
In order to shorten the cycle time, a turntable may be used. Such a turntable preferably has three working positions, namely injection of the molding compound, removal of the completed card and insertion of the chip from the exterior of the mold cavity In another preferred embodiment, the operating positions "removal" and "insertion" can be combined, so that only two stations need be provided. In order further to reduce the cycle time, several sets of working positions can be arranged on the turntable.
The turntable can be arranged horizontally or vertically. A vertical arrangement of the turntable is especially preferred because injection in the parting plane can be dispensed with without a deflection of the heating channel being necessary. Furthermore, the turntable in such orientation fixes itself in position by the force of gravity.
The invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the figures in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a section through the mold of the present invention in the region of the ring;
FIG. 2 is a section through a turntable of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a top view of a turntable of the present invention.
FIG. 1 shows an injection head 11 of an injection molding machine 10, not further shown. Between the injection head 11 and the cavity 44 of the mold 40, there is a heating channel 12. The heating channel 12 is pressed against a ring 41, an opening being provided in the ring 41 which encircles the mold cavity 44 in the parting plane I of the mold 40. Through the opening in the ring 41, the plastic material can pass from the injection molding machine 10 through, the heating channel 12 into the cavity 44. The housing parts 42 and 43 can be pressed against or moved away from the ring 41, in order to close or open the mold. The ring 41 has circumferential sealing surfaces 45 which correspond to corresponding sealing surfaces 46 of the housing parts 42 and 43.
A chip feed device 20 is provided on the housing part 42. The chip feed device 20 has drives 24 by which means a support foil 21 can be passed through the ram axis III. In the chip feed device 20, a holding ram 23 is movable in an axial direction, perpendicular to a face of the housing part 42. The holding ram 23 has channels 25 which are in communication with a pneumatic pump 26, or the like. Thus, the holding ram 23 is pneumatically actuated, and may be controlled in known manner. Of course, other methods, such as hydraulic or electromechanical means could be adapted to control the holding ram 23. The holding ram 23 can take the form of a stamper 22, in which case, it would serve the additional function of stamping the electronic chip 27 from a support foil 21, and then holding the chip for insertion in the mold cavity.
A film-transport device 35 is provided on the housing part 42 for the movement of a decorative film 30. The decorative film 30 has (not shown in the present sketch) a plastic layer, an insulating layer, and a color layer. These elements are of known type, and the color layer may be formed in an arbitrary pattern, to provide identification, recognition and security. The decorative film 30 may also serve other, compatible functions.
On the housing pan 42, arranged on the chip insertion side of the apparatus, there is furthermore provided a film stamper 36 which stamps windows or apertures of a size corresponding to the chip 27 in the decorative film 30, so that the chip 27 may be inserted through the aperture during the insertion and molding process.
A film-transport device 34 is provided on the housing part 43 arranged on the bottom side, opposite the chip feed device 20.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show a turntable 50 having a king pin 55. The turntable has housing parts 42 and 43 which are movable with respect to each other, and between which a ring 41 can be pressed to form a mold cavity. The heating channel 12, which is in communication with the injection head 11, is arranged on the ring 41, in communication therewith, so that a flow channel is available through the ring into the mold cavity.
