Allen Stanford: going down
'Sir' Allen Stanford has been convicted in the USA of 13 criminal counts relating to his failed Stanford Financial Group of companies based in Texas and the Caribbean.
It was alleged that he was engaged in a multi-billion pound ponzi fraud.
Cricket fans will remember his sponsorship of 20/20 international cricket tournaments. Accountants in the UK may remember the ill-fated liquidation of Stanford International Bank by Vantis.
So, another one bites the dust! He will be sentenced later (he has been in custody awaiting trial since 2009) and there will be further proceedings related to seizure of assets.
Another one bites the dust, indeed
As you're not based in London, you may not have seen this in the Evening Standard yesterday.
Maybe these characters are simply counting on being let out eventually, to enjoy their profits.
A similar news story
Funnily enough a similar news story was run by 'The Sun' newspaper last November and quoted in a judgment in the Court of Appeal recently:
"The unpaid sum is presumably represented in the reported £1.26 billion of unpaid confiscation orders shown as an asset in the accounts of the Ministry of Justice and for which the Minister has received public blame (see e.g. The Sun 23/11/2011 under the headline "SOFT JUSTICE SCANDAL" "YOU KEN NOT BE SERIOUS" and 24/11/2011, under the headline "KEN FINES RAP")."
However it is a bit misleading in my view to refer to these sums as amounts which have not been 'paid back'. For example, two of the biggest cases relate to Mr Ahmad and Mr Ahmed who were convicted jointly of defrauding HMRC of slightly more than £12m. Their confiscation orders - originally made for a total of £184m were reduced to a total of £32m on appeal. Even so one could not sensibly describe the orders as requiring them to 'pay back' the £32m.

KENDALLVILLE (www.incnow.tv) - The four starters who will depart Indiana after ths season spent part of Saturday in Kendallville meeting with fans.
Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, Christian Watford, and Jordan Hulls appeared at an autograph session, where they signed autographs and met with fans, with some of the money raised in the event going to the fight against cancer, which has affected Hulls' father.
All four are working out to prepare for pro basketball, and all four think this past season was a success despite late season Big Ten struggles and the earlier than expected exit from the NCAA Tournament

Cool Tools: Colr Pickr
Posted by Emily | Filed under Design Tips, Inspiration, Musings
Where do you find color inspiration? One of my favorite, endless sources of inspiration is Flickr, along with useful search tools created by independent developers. Among these is Jim Bumgardner's Colr Pickr. Move the slider, pick a color, and voilà – a collection of images drawn from the photo sharing site!
The resulting images are modest in number, but they include any photos uploaded to Flickr, not just Creative Commons ones like most other color search tools. Clicking on each thumbnail takes you to the Flickr page.
In addition to the general color search, there are specialized Colr Pickrs, such as Flowers, Macro, Textures, and Urban Decay. Pictured above are the results of a Doors and Windows search, which could be especially fun to play with if you're thinking of doing some house painting!

text: Operational life is very demanding, both physically and mentally. The repetitive mechanics and constant pounding your body endures day in and day out can take its toll. If you do not allow your body to properly recover, you increase your injury potential and, eventually, you could find yourself with nagging aches and pains that eventually lead to injury. Fortunately, there are strategies you can implement to help your body recover, a process we refer to as regeneration. It's important to realize that the things you do at rest are just as important as the work you perform. If you focus on having high-quality rest and regeneration, you'll be able to get more return on investment from every step of your training. Regeneration activities will relieve your body of aches and pains, decrease inflammation and improve tissue quality. Within the Regeneration training component, we will focus on increasing your flexibility, ensuring your body is balanced, and isolating and relieving built-up tension within your muscles.

Kathy Dahl-Bredine and her husband are Maryknoll Lay Missioners working in Oaxaca, Mexico with local organizations on sustainable development among indigenous and marginalized rural communities. Kathy works with the organization Niño a Niño (Child to Child), a group working to empower groups of children living in poverty to work together with their families on projects to improve their over-all health and well being. Kathy has been working on alternative energy, specifically solar cooking projects with the children and their parents for the past two years.
Kathy is also the inventor of the Windshield Shade Solar Cooker, which is probably the simplest solar cooker yet devised.
Kathy reports being a user and teacher of solar cookers since 2001 - teaching 150 people and distributing 100 cookers, empowering 500 people in Mexico.
Anyone interested in contributing to this work could donate to MESA (Mexico Solidarity and Action), PO Box 307, Maryknoll, NY 10545 USA, and specify "Solar Projects".
News and recent developments
- March 2006: Kathy Dahl-Bredine reports that solar cooking is taking hold in the state of Oaxaca. She gave nine workshops in her first year and helped about 150 people learn to make and use solar cookers. In the workshops, new solar cooking students are given homework — to teach others how to make and use a CooKit-style solar panel cooker. Ms. Dahl-Bredine reports that many of her students have done their homework and taught others. She has also taught solar cooking skills to Indian development promoters who are spreading the idea to many other families. She writes, "It sounds like a great many of the cookers are getting used. … One woman I work with said, 'Now I know that I don't have to worry about whether I've turned the beans off when I leave the house, because if they are in the solar cooker, I know they are fine.' … One woman I know here in Oaxaca City told me about a certain dish she makes, a particular chicken enchilada, that her 10-year-old son never especially liked, but the first time she made it in her solar cooker … her son said, 'Wow, this is delicious. What makes it so different?'" Ms. Dahl-Bredine reports that the major motivation for using the solar cookers is that people have little income, and benefit from reduced fuel costs. The CooKit-type solar cooker is practical because it is inexpensive and can be made by the families themselves. She emphasizes follow-up visits with new learners, because people don't always get everything they need to know from one workshop. When people are learning, she says, "you want all the conditions to be right to succeed at first." After people have some experience, they can try more challenging cooking problems. She believes that experienced solar cooks can use their solar cookers most days even during Oaxaca's rainy season, by starting early in the day and planning carefully.

W3C Process
W3C process improvements are discussed in the community group:
See process for more details.
Use of Github at W3C
- See Github.
Cultural conventions for attribution
The new HTMLWG charter allows for working group members to contribute HTML5 Extension specifications using CC-by, and then places attribution requirements on any derivative works.
These attribution requirements are a good start for growing cultural conventions for attribution both inside W3C, and beyond W3C, towards a goal of making attribution founded in cultural norms rather than legal (copyright) requirements, potentially allowing for use of CC0 for contributions to W3C in the future.
Dogfooding at W3C
Many (most?) presentations at W3C workshops (e.g. the Workshop on Social Standards: The Future of Business) used non-open-web technologies/formats.
A challenge was made to the participants to use HTML for their presentations proposing additions/technologies for the web platform[1][2] (and criticism for using non-open-web technologies to do so [3][4])
The broader challenge is to use openweb technologies in our day to day interactions at and with W3C, with such use-cases as:
- Presentations (slide formats / online slides)
- Remote collaboration (e.g. use of WebRTC / webcasting instead of phones)
There is a spectrum of W3C members that can be more/less expected to adopt and use open web technologies:
- Highly technical contributors who are actively designing and specifying advancement of the web platform
- Semi-technical contributors who have some understanding (can write HTML), but have challenges
- General contributors who are discussing customer needs, use-cases
We should be dogfooding and improving tools from top to bottom in this spectrum.
- We need to document existing openweb tools to make it easier for knowledgable and motivated individuals to use openweb tools more often. e.g. HTML presentation frameworks out there:
- Reveal.js
- Slidy
- ...
Workshop communication:
- We should request that W3C workshop participants use openweb platform tools
- HTML-based presentations, posted on the web at a permalink, with varying emphasis per the spectrum:
- MUST: Technical contributors advocating specific technical advancements to the platform must use HTML and other openweb platform technologies.
- SHOULD: Contributors who consider themselves technical should try using HTML for their presentations, and at least report back what difficulties they experience.
- ENCOURAGED: All other workshop participants should be encouraged to learn HTML, and attempt creating HTML content, or saving their non-open-web presentations in HTML form.
- Blog posts criticising of workshop structure/defaults:
Tool Requests:
- We should document where openweb tools fall down, where they are difficult etc. as compared to non-open-web technologies/formats, and what we need from openweb tools. E.g.
- Web-based graphical user interface to create and edit presentations and slides
- Even just simple styled text
- Maybe with one image embedded on a slide
Open AB
The AB is working on (as is evident by this wiki page) doing more and more of its work in the open.
Currently Open AB work is occurring in two places:
- http://www.w3.org/wiki/AB (this wiki page - see "Suggestions" section below to contribute)
- https://twitter.com/w3cab
Remote Participation
The AB is looking at issues related to remote participation in W3C meetings.
- See: Headlights2014
Trademark License
The AB has created a Trademark License task force (Tantek Çelik and Michael Champion) to build broad consensus on a combination trademark / license policy to potentially permit more permissive copyright licenses on W3C drafts and specifications.
Twitter Account
The Advisory Board has a Twitter account: @W3CAB
Nearly the entire AB has access and can post anything regarding AB-related matters. The methodology is to empower individual responsibility and trust by default, especially in such a small group. This method has worked well with the CSSWG (any CSSWG member may "have the keys" to @CSSWG) and it's been hugely successful in engaging the broader developer community.
If you are a member of the AB, contact Tantek Çelik on a secure communications channel and he'll gladly share access to @W3CAB.
- 2013-09-18 access broadly shared with AB members in person W3C AB meeting at MIT.
- 2013-06-04 @W3CAB Twitter created.
Suggestions for the AB.
Minor Process Tweaks
The Process document hasn't really been maintained in many years. There's talk of overhauling the Process, but meanwhile, how about making some simple changes that address particularly frustrating points in the Process?
- Allowing REC to refer to CR (treating PR as a transitional phase, like LC). fantasai 04:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'll see what I can do to help this along. - Tantek Çelik 14:30, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Inter-W3C-spec normative referencing policy is apparently not an explicit part of the Process Document. See CG W3Process issue 33 for more info/updates on this. - Tantek Çelik 14:54, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Creating a "Proposed Edited Candidate Recommendation" stage (or pick a better name) to allow CRs to be updated without going back to Working Draft. This would be identical to LC--just a renaming of an existing process--so qualifies as a Dead Simple Change. fantasai 04:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- What about simply combining LC and CR, and allowing a document in that phase to be updated and stay at that phase? - Tantek Çelik 14:30, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Making sure the ABs get members opinion
- AB are elected by W3C members and need to make sure that they are collecting their ideas, suggestion... That wiki is great, the recent minutes members-only minutes issued by Coralie were great, but regular open debriefing communication to members/interested parties is key. It could be interesting to have an every-6-months call scheduled in advance to 'meet the AB'. This would be the opportunity to ask direct question to the AB, based on a collaborative agenda.

Atlantic Coast Conference coaches are still reeling from the league's poor representation in the NCAA tournament.
They're using words like disappointed, fair, respect and perception describing how they feel about the ACC having just four teams in the tournament and no No. 1 seed.
Miami became the first team to win the ACC regular-season crown outright along with the tournament championship yet fail to get a No. 1 seed.
The Hurricanes ended up with a No. 2, as did Duke, which suffered an early ACC tournament exit. North Carolina and North Carolina State were No. 8 seeds; Virginia and Maryland will play in the NIT.
UNC coach Roy Williams "didn't think it was necessarily fair" and Maryland's Mark Turgeon says perception of the ACC suffered with bad early losses.

The feds are offering up to a $2,500 reward after someone killed a red wolf in Tyrrell County.
The federally protected animal was found September 4th near Creswell. The red wolf was wearing a radio collar to help track it.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the maximum penalty for taking a red wolf is one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. The feds say after being nearly extinct, a re-population program now has about 100 red wolves roaming their native habitats in five counties in northeastern North Carolina.
Anyone with information on the death of the red wolf should call Special Agent Sandra Allred at (919) 856-4786, Refuge Officer Frank Simms at (252) 216-7504 or North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Officer Robert Wayne at (252) 216-8225.

The X-Factor: Lloyd's inability to sing is proof we're all mad
I remember that in mathematics, 'x' represents the unknown. I spent a lot of time finding 'x'. It's taken me another 30 years but I've discovered that x=shite.
That's right. Shite. Why? Because Lloyd can't sing. Because Jedward are sorry, self-obsessed little egos. And so on and on.
I've always been amazed how politics seems to be a process of finding the least wise, least capable person out of millions of possibles to entrust the future of the planet to. I'm amazed, too, how 'The Apprentice' narrowed down the business talent of this country to eight or so arrogant, thick, sociopathic tw*ts. Quite a feat.
And now Lloyd. Who can't sing in tune. But desperately wants to be recognised. *sigh*
We must be mad.

Currently what we are watching at my house is the final season of the critically-acclaimed HBO series The Wire on DVD. I am shocked that this show has not been raking in the awards since it first aired in 2002. It is one of the most riveting and realistic portrayals of inner city life that has ever been created for television. The show's creators, David Simon and Edward Burns based the show on their book The Corner, a story of a drug trafficking in Baltimore. Over the course of five seasons the show focused on all facets of the not only the drug trade, but also what makes a major city operate in today's world. The characters are flawed but extremely likeable which causes the viewer to weep for the addict and curse the police. The Sopranos may have received all the accolades, but in my opinion The Wire is the best crime drama ever.

There's a reason we continually pack up our favorite seasonal items to take into the next year – we love them. But, truth be told, even our favorite pieces can lose their appeal after a while. Instead of trashing them and splurging on a new wooly number (although this may be a tempting option), give your cozy sweaters and perfectly worn-in jackets (not to mention your long-sleeve tees) new life with elbow patches.
The best part about this little update? You can use practically anything for your patches, from leather and suede to fun cotton prints and corduroy – or, like me, you can buy a cheap pair of socks with a print you like. If you're looking to also up the sweet factor, cut your patches into shapes like hearts or stars instead of ovals. Okay – enough with the options, here's how you do it:
Any top of your choice. Be wary about it pairing well with your patch material. For instance, thick leather patches wouldn't be comfortable on a thin cotton shirt.
A 6″ x 5″ piece of material for patches
Thread that matches the color of your patch material (or contrasting thread for an edgy look)
Sewing needle
Straight pins
- Cut your patch material to size. The 6″ x 5″ piece makes two approximately 4″ patches – for bigger patches start with a 9″ x 8″ piece.
- Fold in half, and then in half again and use the scissors to cut and round the edges. Open fabric up and cut down the middle to separate the two pieces, and clean up the edges of each individually.
- Put on your top and mark where elbow bends with flour. Simply dip your finger into flour and mark the spot – chalk will also work.
- Remove your top and secure each patch with straight pins over the marked elbow spots. Be sure to position the patch with the marked spot in the middle. Note that the straight needles should only poke through one layer of the sleeve – you don't want to sew them closed.
- Measure a full arm's length of thread and string through the needle, securing the two ends together. Put your free hand up the sleeve (to ensure you don't attach the sleeves together) and start sewing. (Don't know how to sew? Start here.) I recommend a top-sewing stitch, but a simple straight stitch would also work.
- Once sewn all around, tie off the thread and snip any loose ends. Repeat on other sleeve.
That's it! The whole process takes no more than an hour and the result is a practically brand new piece of clothing. I went with a festive ski-lodge look – and plan to wear it with leggings and cozy boots all winter long.

Last month, we broke news that the creative time behind the upcoming film, Tomorrowland (May 22, 2015)– Brad Bird, Damon Lindelof and Jeff Jensen, along with illustrator Jonathan Case — had written a 288 page novel prequel to the film, appropriately dubbed Before Tomorrowland. While all the details we knew about the book were on the technical side (e.g. it will also include a 20-page full color comic insert), thanks to a recent update to Disney Publishing Worldwide's upcoming catalog, we now have a hint at the plot of the prequel.

I agree with you on the ex lap thing. They should at least make the refess matchups kind of fair. So far it goes:
SK>MID REFESS=BUNCLES (my mid refess gets beat by lucky buncles... in fact I get better winrates vs sk)>EX LAP

Kinda sad that Dg sees Balance problems and the people behind balance don't.
On the plus side seems DG is more pleasurable to talk to.
Well hey, I play on AA's account now, so I can run practically any file, and the only thing it's taught me is that even with nearly all the cards (why did he not get Rivarre?! That SS is amazing with Bule >.<), 25 slots is still 25 slots and you just can't build a file to compete in every match. Also, I have a bias against Refess because games involving Refess just take forever to play because of the way each and every buff and action skill needs its own 5 seconds, and Refess just has a zillion of those.

Western powers say Iran may be close to having the capacity to build a nuclear weapon, though Tehran insists it is seeking only electricity. The United States and its allies, which have imposed tough economic sanctions, are keen to show progress on an overall agreement for curbing and monitoring Iran's nuclear activities - not least because Israel, seeing itself especially threatened, has warned it could mount a pre-emptive attack.
A spokesman for Ashton, who represents the five permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany, said: "She hopes that the talks will be productive and that concrete progress can be made towards a negotiated solution to meet the international community's concerns about the Iranian nuclear program."
But comments by Abdollah Haj-Sadeghi, a representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), indicated continued differences of opinion in Tehran; those may limit the prospect of narrowing the dispute with the West at the talks in Almaty, the first of their kind since negotiators met in Moscow in June.
"They will never want real dialogue and negotiations," Haj-Sadeghi was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency, addressing religious students in the theological center of Qom.
"Their goal is to inhibit the Islamic revolution. If they can't eliminate the Islamic revolution, they want to weaken and inhibit this revolution," he said. "A revolution with a religious nature cannot reconcile itself with arrogance."
Iranian officials often use the term "arrogant" to denote Western nations. It was not immediately clear whether he was referring to the continuing process of negotiation with the six world powers, known as the P5+1, or to the prospect of direct negotiations with the United States, Iran's main adversary.
Haj-Sadeghi's remarks contrasted with those of Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, who said in Berlin on Monday that he was "optimistic" regarding what he saw as a new approach from the United States regarding Iran.
Shashank Joshi, a senior fellow and Middle East specialist at the Royal United Services Institute, said the mixed messages reflected Iran's "fragmented" political system, in which power is divided between elected and unelected bodies.
"Haj-Sadeghi's comments are consistent with a widely held Iranian view: that sanctions are less about the nuclear issue and more about regime change," Joshi said.
"He may therefore have been repeating a standard line rather than responding to Salehi."
Many Iranian leaders may be wary of entering talks which quickly collapse, Joshi said.
"Some of this rhetoric is therefore a way of managing expectations, and pushing responsibility for failure back on to the West," he said.

Recovery of overpayments under this part may not be made from an individual when, in the judgment of the Secretary of State, the individual is without fault and recovery would be against equity and good conscience or administratively infeasible.
(e) Alternate forms of annuities
(1) The Secretary of State shall prescribe regulations under which any participant who has a life-threatening affliction or other critical medical condition may, at the time of retiring under this part (other than under section 4048 of this title), elect annuity benefits under this section instead of any other benefits under this part (including survivor benefits) based on the service of the participant.

(A) an alternative which provides for—
(B) in the case of a participant who is married at the time of retirement, an alternative which provides for—
(3) Each alternative provided for under paragraph (2) shall, to the extent practicable, be designed such that the total value of the benefits provided under such alternative (including any lump-sum credit) is actuarially equivalent to the value of the annuity which would otherwise be provided the participant under this part, as computed under section 4046 (a) of this title.
(4) A participant who, at the time of retiring under this part—
(A) is married, shall be ineligible to make an election under this section unless a waiver is made under section 4046 (b)(1)(B) of this title; or

An Australian family had an unlikely guest pop up on their boat. A young fur seal jumped aboard. The family caught the adventure on camera. You can see the playful animal made himself right at home.
"It was so cute just sitting and sunbathing." The seal tagged along for the ride about 30-minutes, before being put back into the water.
That didn't stop him from chasing the boat. "It was just a once in a life time experience don't think it will ever happen again."
Pineapples, pumpkins, and melons. Oh my! Police in New Rochelle, New York are looking for a fruit bandit! They say someone is using fruits and vegetables to vandalize parked vehicles. One woman found the back window of her car was smashed. The weapon? A piece of melon. "People don't deserve this. Now I have to pay money out of pocket." Police say at least nine cars were torpedoed by produce last week.

The Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee has advanced a bill that would require labeling of genetically modified food, despite a warning from Maine's Attorney General that the measure may be unconstitutional and vulnerable to serious legal challenges. In a work session appearance before the committee, AG Janet Mills recommended that lawmakers not pass the bill. But supporters say GMO lableing has widespread support in Augusta and across the state, and they argue the full Legislature should approve the bill. Jay Field reports.
Sixty-four nations currently label genetically modified food, but the U.S. is not among them. A recent poll shows that more than 90 percent of people in Maine support GMO labeling. One person who backs the concept is none other than Attorney General Janet Mills.
"I raised five daughters and I have three grandsons and they're all very careful about what they eat, what they drink, and I'd like them to know what's in the cans and jars and bottles on the grocery shelves as well," she said.
Mills told the committee, "I know that many of you want to pass a law that takes on the corporate giants and stands up to the mega-food industry...and I share that cause and that concern.
"But I can assure you that when this matter goes to court, as it surely will if you pass the bill in any form, a judge will not stop to take a public opinion poll to determine if the First Amendment is violated," Mill said. "A judge will not take a poll to determine whether a law violates the Commerce Clause. And a judge will not take a poll before figuring out whether Congress has prempted the area covered by this law."
Opponents say forcing retailers to label products containing genetically modified ingredients would violate food producers First Amendment rights. They also say that forcing lables onto certain products, like, say, potatoes, would put some Maine growers at a disadvantege compared to competitors in other states. Passing the bill, Mills argued, would leave Maine open to legal challenges on these fronts.
The committee listened, then went ahead and voted out the GMO labeling bill anyway, endorsing it by an 8 to 4 margin.
"I would say that this is historic legislation," says Jim Gerritsen, who runs Wood Prairie Farm in Aroostook County. Gerritson has pushed for GMO labeling for years. Gerritsen and other supporters argue the attorney general's judgement that the bill, as written, may be vulnerable a constitutional challenge is flawed reasoning.
"This LD 718 is a GMO labeling bill. And it makes no judgement as to whether GMOs are good or bad," he said. "But it does make the judgement that there is sufficent uncertainty out there that consumers do have the right to know. And that's why I think everyone is lining up behind this bill."
Opponents of the legislation, though, had harsh words for the committee.
"I mean, it's troubling," says Lance Dutson, spokesperson for the biotech and other business interests opposing LD 718.
"The Attorney General and the committee are working on trying to make sure that the bills that come to the floor are not frivilous, and that they're not going to just waste everybody's time. And when the attorney general of the state of Maine says clearly that there are serious constitutional questions that the bill raises - it really kind of defies logic that the committee would go down this road."
It's now up to the full Legislature to decide if it wants to keep moving forward, against the advice of Maine's top legal advisor.

Recent Lessons Learned From Prevention and Recent-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Immunotherapy Trials
- 1JDRF, New York, New York
- 2Université Paris Descartes, INSERM U1013, Hôpital Universitaire Necker-Enfants malades, Paris, France
- 3Department of Pathology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
- Corresponding author: Mark A. Atkinson, atkinson{at}ufl.edu.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the immune system's misguided attack on insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells, leading to lifelong insulin replacement therapy as well as to the risk for developing disease-associated complications (1–3). Over the past 2–3 decades, the field of clinical research in T1D has seen tremendous growth, including evaluation of a variety of promising immunotherapy approaches for the prevention or reversal of the disorder (4–6). In just the past 2 years, data from >10 trials have been reported, some revealing promising phase II results. However, phase III trials have failed to demonstrate efficacy. In light of these results, an anxiety-provoked question has arisen: Where does the field go from here? To this end, this article presents and elaborates on key emerging questions and recommendations for future immunotherapy trials in T1D. If implemented successfully, such strategies could accelerate the development of therapies with tangible clinical benefit in T1D because they perhaps more appropriately address the complex nature of the disease.
Nearly 30 years after the first immunotherapy clinical trials in type 1 diabetes (T1D), progress has been realized. This progress includes advancements in scientific knowledge (e.g., immune markers, metabolic testing, pathogenesis), the breadth of agents under investigation (Fig. 1), and how clinical trials are increasingly performed as part of major collaborative networks with uniform protocols often bolstered with mechanistic assays. However, shortcomings remain in demonstrating a degree of therapeutic efficacy for recent-onset T1D immunotherapies that is sufficiently robust in terms of risk/benefit to satisfy the requirements for drug registration and approval by regulatory agencies (i.e., Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency). In 2011 and early 2012 after a number of phase I and II recent-onset clinical trials, a series of phase IIB and III recent-onset T1D trials reported their outcomes (7–10). In advance …

- For the newer updated recognizer seen in TRON: Legacy and TRON: Evolution, see Recognizer (TRON: Legacy)
|Vehicle Type
|Aerial security transport
|1 Pilot
|Flynn, Jet Bradley
|Behind the scenes
A Recognizer is a large hovering vehicle with a central cockpit supported atop two massive pylon legs. Space inside this module is enough for several occupants, including a single pilot, who stands upright at the control console, and several additional passengers or crew. They emit a unique and ominous sound when in flight, similar to the noise of a helicopter.
Recognizers are demonstrated to operate as pursuit and attack vehicles capable of overtaking Light Tanks. They are also employed in the role of capturing fugitive programs by rotating their legs in together and initiating a 'stomp' maneuver from above. This does not harm the program, but does effect some kind of unexplained capture function.
Recognizers were originally created by Kevin Flynn in 1981 for his video game Space Paranoids. However, when Ed Dillinger stole Flynn's games, the vehicles became part of the Game Grid and were used by the MCP's army to capture other programs. During his escape from the Game Grid, Flynn came across a destroyed recognizer. With his user powers, Flynn accidentally reactivated the craft, causing it to reassemble, although one of its supports fell off, causing it to have difficulty turning. Flynn commented that the controls were, "just like the old arcade grips". He was able to clumsily pilot the crippled recognizer to a heavily populated part of the system, where he crashed and destroyed it completely.
- Note: The following section contains information that appears in the TRON 2.0 storyline, which has been classed as non-canon with the TRON mythology and takes place in an alternate timeline.
In TRON 2.0: Killer App (GBA), recognizers are fitted with a cannon, similar to the cannon of a tank. The position of the cannon on the recognizers body is on its shoulder. The recognizer can be flown by just 1 operator, although most carry 2, a driver and radar/radio operator. The total capacity is 1 driver, 1 radio operator, and a commander.
- The memorable sound of the Recognizers was created by sound designer Frank Serafine by simply modifying the "Helicopter" preset on the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 synthesizer.
- The recognizers were designed by Lisberger Studios animator and character designer John Norton. The recognizers are one of the few designs that stayed exactly the same from when Tron was planned to be an animated cartoon film. The simple shapes that made up the recognizer made it easy for MAGI to model the vehicles.

CUYAHOGA COUNTY -- It may sound dangerous but deputies will have teens from 3 local schools -- Mayfield, Westlake and Chagrin Falls high schools -- "text and drive" through an obstacle course.
Accompanied by Sheriff's deputies, they will experience first-hand the dangers of distracted driving and driving while texting as they navigate a golf cart through an obstacle course in the parking lot north of Cleveland Browns Stadium, next to the William Mather Museum Tuesday morning.
It's a joint project with sheriff's office, Allstate Insurance and Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald to kick off the annual fall "Safe Driving" campaign to reduce distracted driving by teenagers.
Cleveland Browns center Alex Mack, who practiced again Friday and hopes to play Sunday in Oakland, will represent the Browns Tuesday.
Car crashes are the No. 1 killer of American teens. Younger, inexperienced drivers under 20 years of age have the highest proportion of distraction-related fatal crashes.
Reaching for a phone while driving increases your risk of a crash by nine times. Texting takes our eyes off the road for an average of five seconds. At 55 mph, that's driving the length of a football field -- completely blind.
The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office and Allstate Insurance believe it's critical to equip teens with the knowledge and tools to become smarter drivers, which will help eliminate deadly distractions from the car. Distractions -- such as texting and talking on the phone -- impair the ability to drive safely.
Experiencing those situations themselves, in a safe, controlled environment, will allow the teens to form their own opinion and help change the way they think about texting while driving.

House Republicans' "fiscal cliff" counteroffer to President Barack Obama hints at billions of dollars in military cuts.
This is on top of the nearly $500 billion that the White House and Congress backed last year, and even the fiercest defense hawks acknowledge that the Pentagon faces another financial hit.
The GOP proposal calls for $300 billion in discretionary spending cuts to achieve savings of $2.2 trillion over 10 years.
The blueprint offers no specifics, although the Pentagon and defense-related departments such as Homeland Security and State make up roughly half the federal government's discretionary spending.
The military, which is still coming to grips with the half-trillion-dollar cut in last year's deficit-reduction law, is looking at another $10 billion to $15 billion cut in projected defense spending each year for the next decade.

The team of scientists assigned with evaluating the flood risk resulting from the Waldo Canyon fire estimates that flood risk may have increased by 350 percent. That number comes from the Burned Area Emergency Response Team.
Charred hillsides are vulnerable to erosion and flooding during downpours because they have less vegetation to soak up rain, and burned soils can repel water.
Before the fire was even fully contained, KKTV 11 News Chief Meteorologist Brian Bledsoe said flooding concerns are now foremost in his mind.
"We're approaching the height of thunderstorm season here in Colorado," he said, "It's basically the equivalent of pouring a big 'ol glass of water right on your tabletop. It just goes everywhere."
Homeowners are encouraged to protect themselves by purchasing flood insurance, which is not part of regular homeowner's policies. Information on flood insurance is available through your insurance agent or www.FloodSmart.gov.
The city of Colorado Springs and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are hosting a map of the burn area and flood risks online.

Investors in China Finance Online Co Ltd (JRJC) saw new options begin trading this week, for the March 22nd expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the JRJC options chain for the new March 22nd contracts and identified the following call contract of particular interest.The call contract at the $7.50 strike price has a current bid of 15 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of JRJC stock at the current price level of $6.54/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $7.50. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 16.97% if the stock gets called away at the March 22nd expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if JRJC shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for China Finance Online Co Ltd, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing JRJC's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $7.50 strike highlighted in red:

Pokémon Trading Card Game
this wiki
- Not to be confused with the GameBoy Color video game of the same name.
'TCG' (Trading Card Game) (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム Pokemon Kādo Gēmu, literally meaning; Pokémon Card Game) is a collectible card game that is based on the Pokémon series. It if first published by Media Factory since October 1996 in Japan and has been published by Wizards of the Coast since December 1998. Nintendo took over the publishing of the card games since June 2003.
The playing card game became internationally popular and is holding tournaments around the world where fans can battle against different challengers from different countries. Also, they can play against each other online and evenly a video game has been based on the playing card game series.
Each player has a deck that contains 60 cards. First shuffle your deck and draw 7 cards at the top of your deck. Look to see if you have a basic Pokémon in your hand, if you're not then you must shuffle your deck again and draw 7 cards. Then you must place one Pokémon card as a active one face-down at the zone: "Active Pokémon" and then you must place 5 more active Pokémons on your bench. Place 6 cards that are being to be prize cards. Prize cards are picked up randomly and must be placed face-down at their respective zone. To start the battle, flip a coin with your opponent to decide who will start first. Then reveal your face-down active Pokémon card and begin the battle.
Three Ways Win
- If the player can't draw a card from the start of their turn.
- If you win all of your six prize cards.
- If you knock all of your opponents active Pokémons.
Pokémon Arena Zones
As both players are dueling with each other, they must place the card in zones. There are 5 different kind of zones containing: Deck – where you must place your deck, as already stated there must be one 60 cards in the deck, Active Pokémon – the Pokémon you are using against your opponent, Bench – A zone where you can place 5 cards that can be your back-up, Discard Pile – Where you place cards that are out of play which can be Pokémons, Energy or Trainer cards and Prize Cards – 6 random cards player by both challengers.
- Deck
- Both players deck exist out of 60 cards, not less or more. The deck must be placed upside down at the left on the field. The opponent or you cannot look at each others cards and can predict their movements. You must shuffle your deck first before you start drawing your cards.
- Active Pokémon
- Each player must start with one active Pokémon. If you draw only trainer or energy cards, then you must shuffle your deck and redraw again. You and you opponent must always have one active Pokémon as in the field and in the bench. If you opponent doesn't have no Pokémon in play anymore, then you will win the game.
- Bench
- At the bottom of the zone: "Active Pokémon" there is a zone named: "Bench" which each player may have up to 5 Pokémons, Trainer, Energy cards after each turn. If your active Pokémon has lost the battle, then you can pick up another active Pokémon that you have on the bench. Same counts for Active Pokémon, if you have no Pokémon in play then your opponent will win the game, same counts backwards.
- Discard Pile
- Each player has their own discard pile. The discard pile is meant for cards that are out of play which means if a Pokémon is knock out they are out of play and they are being placed in the discard pile which also includes energy cards that where attached to the Pokémon. This can also be undone if there is a card that keeps preventing the Pokémon to get fainted.
- Prize Cards
- Prize Cards are 6 face down cards that got set by both parties which they take them from their deck at the start of the game. Each player has their own prize cards and has been chosen randomly which both players doesn't know which card they have placed there. Prize Cards are more countdown to a battle. Each time when you knocked out a Pokémon then you can take one prize card and place it to your hand which you also can play it on the field. If you take the final prize card you win the challenge.
Types of Cards
There are three types of cards: "Pokémon", "Trainer", and "Energy" cards. These three are used in the Pokémon Trading Card Game to trade or to challenge your opponent.
Pokémon Cards
Pokémon cards are the important cards of the game, but are useless to attack if there are no energy cards attacked. You start with basic Pokémon cards and there are cards containing: "Stage 1" and "Stage 2" which means a certain Pokémon can evolve. There are important parts at a Pokémon card, such as: HP or Ability.
- Pokémon Type
- It contains the type of the Pokémon which can be one of the 10 energy cards. The ten types are: Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal and Colorless.
- Heal Points (HP)
- Those are the Pokémons energy of battling. If they are attack with the points of the Pokémon attack, they will lose some Heal Points. If they got attacked and lost all of their Heal Points then the Pokémon is knock-out and must be removed from play.
- Stage
- Some Pokémons that contains "basic" got evolution forms. If there is a Pokémon with Stage 1 or Stage 2, then it means that it is the evolved type of Pokémon. But only if the Pokémon in the picture of the evolved Pokémon can be evolved.
Trainer Cards
Energy Cards
Energy Cards can be attached to pokemon so that the pokemon can use its attacks. (you may only attach 1 energy card to 1 pokemon per turn)
