Last year, the bottom almost fell out of a big mariachi conference for youth when, just three weeks before it was scheduled to begin, organizers discovered that Santa Fe would not be able to host the event. So Memorial Middle School band director Martin Sena, a skilled mariachi performer in his own right, volunteered to bring it all to Las Vegas. The result was a rousing success.
Only a couple of weeks away from spring, we've gotten restless, tired of checking the weather reports to discover whether traffic's stuck in Glorieta Pass. Newcomers to this area are often surprised that there's actually visibility, sun and clear roads after trudging along, following a million semis crawling on I-25. We've stayed home more than we're accustomed to, due to the weather, and we've acquired cabin fever.
Going to the state high school basketball tournament — arguably the No. 1 sporting event in New Mexico in terms of popularity — is considered a major achievement for coaches and players.
It's also a pretty big deal for the referees, too.
State tournament game officials are chosen only after an annual voting process designed to ensure the best-qualified referees are on the courts of The Pit and Santa Ana Star Center as championships are decided.
If their previous meeting this season is any indicator, Robertson and Socorro will give fans a treat when they battle this evening in the Class 3A boys' state basketball tournament.
The RHS-Socorro quarterfinal is scheduled to tip off at 4:45 p.m. at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.
The Warriors edged the Cardinals 49-48 Jan. 8 at Mike Marr Gym in Las Vegas. That game stayed tight throughout, and Robertson led late before relinquishing control in the closing seconds.
Thomas King went 3 for 5 and drove in two runs as New Mexico Highlands' baseball team (5-6, 1-3) picked up its first Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference victory of the season Sunday at Brandt Park.
Highlands beat Regis 10-4 in the finale of a four-game series. Regis had won 4-2 on Friday and swept a Saturday doubleheader 8-5 and 3-0.
The city of Las Vegas plans to begin cracking down on people going door to door peddling their wares and services without a proper business license.
The vendors can be selling anything from magazines to flowers, and sometimes go door to door offering to replace a roof or do other jobs, City Attorney Dave Romero said.
Mariachi music has been alive and well in the area for years.
This past week the strumming of the guitars, guitarrones, vihuelas, violins and trumpets filled music rooms with their melodies and rhythms during the Second Annual Youth Mariachi Conference.
Mariachi Tenampa taught more than 130 students at the three-day conference held at New Mexico Highlands University.
West Las Vegas superintendent Ruben Cordova briefed board members on a number of topics during a special meeting at Valley school last week, including how much state money the district can expect after the 60-day legislative session ends later this month.
The state fire marshal's office and Highlands University police are investigating a suspicious fire the broke out Tuesday evening inside a university dorm room.
The small fire at Connor Hall was contained to a single room, said Highlands spokesman Sean Weaver. It was quickly extinguished by the building's sprinkler system, he said.
No one was injured in the blaze, which apparently started with either a towel or a T-shirt, Weaver said.
The woman who lived in the dorm was not there at the time.

Conroe man convicted of indecency with child
A Nueces County jury convicted Clayton Prince on Monday on three counts of indecency with a child.
Prince, 39, of Conroe, was accused of fondling a 7-year-old girl in 2003 and then forcing her to touch his genitals. Prince was dating the girl's mother, who lives in Calallen, and the incident occurred while the girl's mother was in the shower.
The jury will reconvene at 9 a.m. today to begin hearing testimony in the punishment phase of the trial. The range of punishment on each of the three counts is probation or two to 20 years in prison.

CHARLOTTE, NC - OCTOBER 11: Fred Davis #86 of Washington Redskins is tackled by Jon Beason #52 of the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on October 11, 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
John Keim of the Washington Examiner assesses the Redskins' tight end situation as they end into the offseason. According to Keim, Redskins will have to make key decisions on tight ends Fred Davis and Chris Cooley in the coming weeks. The report underscores the Redskins' need at the tight end position and how the team must re-sign Fred Davis. It would cost the team $6.6 million to franchise Davis for a second straight season, so the team will have to determine whether or not he's a part of their long-term plans. A long-term agreement would most likely reduce that figure, which in turn could give them some extra cash for upgrades at other positions. Keim adds that it's "hard to imagine" Washington bringing back Chris Cooley next season. Cooley, 30, played very little in his return to the team this season. It's really hard to say what he has left, which is somewhat surprising given his age, but injuries have obviously taken a toll on him. We have Davis listed as the No. 45 best available player in our Top 50 Free Agents list. The post Fred Davis A Must Sign For Washington, Chris Cooley Unlikely To Be Back appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

McGuinness was recruited by his friend Lennon and combines his role at Celtic with being senior manager at Donegal's Gaelic football team.
Lennon's decision to quit the Scottish champions has put a major question mark as to the future of the 41-year-old, who is celebrated in Ireland as one of the most influential innovators in sport. But although McGuinness admitted that he was disappointed to see Lennon leave, he is hoping to stay, no matter who gets the Parkhead post.
"I hope I will stay, but with change there always will be change, so we will see what it brings," he said.
"Whatever person comes in now, I will do my best regardless. I'm following things like everybody else."

The conservative Catholic Cantone family own and operate a pasta factory in southern Italy. At a family dinner, parents Vincenzo and Stefania Cantone plan on turning over the factory to their two sons, Antonio Cantone and Tommaso Cantone. The younger Tommaso, who has returned home from business school in Rome for this dinner, has his own important news which he plans on divulging at that dinner. Beforehand, he tells Antonio his news. He is not in business school and does not want to run the factory, leaving that to Antonio. Rather, he wants to stay in Rome to be a writer - he has submitted a manuscript of a novel to a publisher - but more importantly that he is gay. Tommaso is certain that their parents will not take any of this news well. But before Tommaso can make his statement at the dinner, Antonio, who has been working at the factory for years, drops his own bombshell of news on the family, which results in Vincenzo disowning Antonio and having a mild heart attack. Tommaso feels that he has no other choice now but to keep quiet, and stay to run the factory while his father recuperates. A visit from Rome by Tommaso's flamboyant gay friends - including Tommaso's lover, Marco - may make life difficult for Tommaso as he tries to balance his priorities in life. Tommaso's paternal grandmother, who started the factory, who is known as the loose cannon of the family and who has a long kept secret of her own, may have her own say in what happens in the family.

You need to re-read my top 5 technologies thread which you participated in, many mentions of all sorts of important, interweaving technologies. In fact that was the pattern I set for my responses.
Yes, your pattern was to respond to criticism by mentioning still more emerging technologies and then claiming the EXISTENCE of those technologies supported your assertion that the singularity was both inevitable and destined to unfold the way you expected it to. You did the same thing -- on Page 10 of that thread -- when I pointed out to you that you had not satisfactorially addressed the fact that exponential growth has the same pattern as a logistic curve before it begins to approach the point of diminishing returns; your reply to that criticism was essentially "Look at this article about this cool new technology!"
You may FEEL that the singularity is coming and you may FEEL that all these new technologies are just pieces of a larger puzzle. But to people who actually understand how technology develops and what the process entails, they don't fit so neatly into that picture. You fall into "technology of the gaps" thinking because you don't actually know how that technology works or what it can do and you simply assume it can do what you want it to do because The Singularity is Coming, dammit!"

Social media is an amazing way to promote your business. Step back thirty years to a world where the telephone dominated the way humans communicate. Now imagine being able to hear what people are saying instantly about your business. Well stop imagining, because the technology exists and is here to stay.
Twitter shows in real time what people are talking about. People post their thoughts in 140 characters or less, is what's being called the "Twittersphere"
The new Twitter app is shown directly on any lodging establishment that is advertising on BellHop.com. Is it important to know that Luv2Vacation9023 is currently poolside at the Luxor in Las Vegas and is having a great time? Johnson feels the answer is Yes and No. "No, we don't care that Luv2vacation9023 is vacationing, but we want to show to someone that is interested in the Luxor, that people are having a great time at the Luxor pool and it's a great place to stay".
Johnson feels that to the consumer Twitter is a great tool to find out what real people are saying. "On the other side of the coin, Twitter to innkeepers could be a marketing nightmare if a negative tweet is posted. Keeping that in mind, if you have a premium account on BellHop.com you can fully manage how Twitter is shown. 1) Search 2) Profile and 3) Disabled . "

This was quite tricky to address because we have the Warrior role whose nature is partially that of an "easy" entry-level role, that provides new and averagely skilled players a decent vehicle to viability. A consequence of this also made Warrior the dominant role at high skill-tiers, in most situations.
At the same time, Skirmishers and Elementalists were receiving too much damage from ranged attacks as a percentage of their health pool, which resulted in much shorter TTK compared to warriors.
To address both of these issues, we begin by:
You can find links to details for the armor protection changes below:
Additionally, In order to encourage other roles to counter attack or engage warriors in melee combat, the relevant protections in warrior armors were slightly reduced.
Sustainability and Transfers
In order to help with sustainability, transfer spells are moderately increased in magnitude, while their cooldown is slightly reduced.
In detail:
This obviously affects roles differently, and we felt we needed to implement this change now, together with all the combat gameplay changes.
This change also helped towards a better TTK for the ranged DPS roles, as a slightly stronger "stamina-to-health" transfer was often the difference between life and death while getting nuked.
The bottom line of this change is that it will add extra depth to the game at no cost to complexity. We do believe that player skill, before numbers, should be the primary factor in a fight. This change will help when fighting outnumbered, or recovering from a bad spot after an ambush.
We also addressed the wobble mechanic, as we felt it wasn't serving its intended purpose. To that extent, the "shrinking" time for all roles has been greatly reduced, with the skirmisher's being even faster as they heavily rely on perfect aiming. Additionally, the reticle shrinking was tweaked in order to have it start as soon as the projectile is ready to be released. The delay until the shrinking began, we feel is a big reason why players did not withhold their arrows until their reticle became more accurate, thus rendering the mechanic irrelevant.
In detail:
Skill Changes: Warriors
We tried to address the issue of the role relying too much on archery damage to compete. Because of this, as mentioned earlier, warrior archery damage was reduced by increasing the relevant armor protections. At the same time however, we decreased the cooldown of stampede and reduced its duration. This change turned the skill into more of a distance closer, intended to balance out the reduction in ranged damage. The magnitude of the knockback of the skill was also reduced but not removed, in order to preserve the baresark spirit of the school.
We also increased survivability of Battle Brand School:
In the Slayer School, the stamina drain for the Polearm Power attack was reduced by 36% , as it was deemed a bit excessive
Skill Changes: Skirmishers
Some of the skirmisher's skills were too costly, causing this role to run out of stats fast. Also some cooldowns were tweaked. The DPS for deadeye school were also slightly increased.
In detail:
Skill Changes: Duelist
The Duelist school has been slightly rebalanced in many areas, to counter strong advantages the Duelists have vs. other roles.
This, so that players have few more seconds of breathing room after managing to escape the duelist in melee range.
These, so that players have a bigger window of opportunity against a duelist, especially when engaged in melee combat.
Duelist offensive abilities have also had their cooldowns slightly increased, so that duelist relies more on in-and-out burst damage, than the "sustained burst" he had before. This was hurting mostly the Primalists, yet we don't expect to see much difference in the outcome against other roles such as Warrior and Elementalist.
Skill Changes: Elementalists
Having addressed one of elementalists main concerns, survivability, means they will now have more time to use their high damage skills.
Some other tweaks include:
Skill Changes: Primalists

Cool. I hope this game thrives for years. I haven't played for a couple of months because it's not quite sandboxy enough for me, but I still love the game. For the type of game it is, it's really great. I just wish there were more professions and different things to do other than pvp. More sandbox elements basically.

If you want more sandbox stuff, you should post about it on the suggestion forums. I would also like more sandbox stuff, but I am still having fun exploring, sailing, pvping, sieging, grinding mobs, doing dungeons, treasure hunting, and crafting.

Snuggling is underrated.
This "about me" section; there's really nothing unique I (or anyone) can write that is going to make you think "Stop the search, this is my soulmate!" Its always going to come down to: do you think I'm cute and vice versa; do we have that spark, chemistry, magic, etc. A little about me anyways... :) I'm a happy, fun loving and ambitious person; I put 110% of myself into whatever I'm doing. I will do pretty much anything to make someone smile. I guarantee I'll make you laugh. I'd love for someone to spontaneously suggest a late night drive...just because. I'm over the crowded bar, elbowing my way through people every weekend. I like staying active and will try almost anything, but am content to hang at home too. Loves: the beach, wine, cooking and baking, random texts that make me smile, flip flop weather, music, playing with my fireplace on a winter night, hearing please andthank you, spontaneous dancing, perfect spring and fall days, Sunday football, margaritas, my friends, movies that make me laugh out loud (will never get tired of movies like the Hangover and Wedding Crashers). I'm looking to have some fun with someone who can appreciate me for who I am... someone to share some time and interests with and see where it goes. I like when guys have their own hobbies,; who can laugh at themselves (and me!) and have an idea of what they want out of life. If you think that might be you then say hi and maybe we can get a drink soon! PS . It's kind of important to my family that you will play board games around Christmas! ;) Just a heads up!

Easy going and enjoy a lot of activities... in the summer I love the beach; always love listening to music/going to concerts, relaxing with friends, working out, going to the movies, cooking, going for a long drive, sports events.
Usually something light and fun.

Excellent build, I remember his 2002 Busch crash very well. he did it under caution and the just turned left and he got t-boned by Larry Foyt.

The T-bone Busch Series accident was the Busch race 2001. He had a tough time with the steering wheel on the Busch car and was uncomfortable with the wheel and the locking mechanism. His Cup car was fine, just the Busch car he was concerned about. During the Caution grouping for the restart, going down the front stretch, he pulled up on the wheel to check it and IT CAME OFF!!! Before he could get it back on to steer, the stagger in the car turned it dead left and he was T-boned by a lapper coming up very fast to take a position at the inside row. I really don't think Steve was ever fully recovered from it, his speech always seem labored and slurred. A shame, he was very talented, good looking, articulate and seemed to be a rising star.
