Dec. 10, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- University of Michigan seniors Jennifer Cross (Scarborough, Ontario/Birchmount Park Collegiate) and Molly Toon (Middleton, Wis./Middleton) and junior Lexi Dannemiller (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) were named this afternoon (Tuesday, Dec. 10) to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-North Region team. The three selections mark the most for Michigan volleyball in a season; U-M had two honorees in 2007, 2009 and 2010.
Cross, a middle blocker, becomes the third Wolverine to be a two-time all-region honoree (non-honorable mention), following Katie Bruzdzinski (2006, '07) and Lexi Zimmerman (2007, '08, '09, '10). She started all 32 matches for the Maize and Blue this season, averaging 2.82 kills a set and hitting at a .320 clip. Cross, a co-captain and All-Big Ten selection, broke Michigan's all-time blocks mark in the Nebraska match on Oct. 11 and ended her career with 543 career blocks. She also eclipsed 1,000 kills in her career in the Ohio match on Sept. 21 and had 1,255 terminations. Cross, who is one of 10 finalists for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award for collegiate volleyball, had a season-high 18 kills in that Ohio match, and tied a season high with nine blocks in the NCAA Tournament first-round match against LSU (Dec. 6). She had 22 double-digit kill performances this season and led the Wolverines in terminations on seven occasions.
Toon, an outside hitter, earns her first all-region honor after averaging a team-best 3.14 kills a set her senior year. Toon also averaged 1.16 digs a set and had 50 total blocks. In the NCAA Tournament first round match against LSU (Dec. 6), she had a team-high 15 kills to go along with 11 digs and six blocks. Toon had 20 kills in a four-set win at Northwestern (Nov. 10) and had 19 double-digit kill performances in 2013. Toon also led Michigan in kills on 11 occasions. She ended her Michigan career with 876 kills, 302 digs and 147 total blocks.
Dannemiller, a setter, averaged 10.84 assists and 2.09 digs per set in earning her first all-region honor. She had six 50-plus assist matches, including a season high 58 on two occasions (Sept. 21 vs. Ohio; Nov. 10 vs. Northwestern). Dannemiller also had nine double-doubles on the season, including a 48-assist, 14-dig performance in the NCAA Tournament first-round match vs. LSU (Dec. 6). She was named a Big Ten Setter of the Week twice in 2013 (Sept. 9 and Oct. 21). The Preseason All-Big Ten performer has 4,489 assists, 927 digs and 90 service aces in her three-year career.
Michigan now has 13 all-region performers in school history (not counting honorable mention). The AVCA changed its all-region teams this year to include five outside/opposite hitters, three middle blockers, two setters, a libero/defensive specialist and three at-large selections. This also is the first year Michigan is in the north region.
Cross, Dannemiller and Toon will now be considered for AVCA All-America honors. Those three teams will be announced next Wednesday (Dec. 18).
Michigan went 18-14 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 14th time in school history in 2013. The Wolverines fell to LSU in five sets in the first round of the tournament.

On the bottom edge of the Q5W is a proprietary connector which allows you to hook up the player to your TV via composite and, more impressively, S/PDIF audio (coaxial) plus component video. There's no recording facility as there is on the A3, but you do get a small coin cell-operated remote control, turning the Q5W into a reasonably competent home video playback device that you can operate from your sofa.
Once again, however, some of this functionality turns out to be a mixed blessing. The device's main touchscreen interface is simply overlaid on top of Windows CE and it's a marriage that makes the Q5W feel unfinished and old-fashioned - not something you want when you've just spent 400 big ones. Whenever you drop out of the Cowon interface, for example, you have to deliberately double-click an icon on the desktop to get it back. Web browsing on the Q5W is similarly dissatisfying: many websites simply don't look right - and though that's nothing new to Windows-based mobile devices, it's clearly no iPhone.
The touchscreen interface, once fired up, works well, with the main controls accessible via a row of control 'wings' that fall conveniently under your thumbs on either side of the screen. You can opt to control things entirely from these context-aware controls, or you can dive into the main screen and change things directly - you'll need the stylus here as the buttons are small and fiddly, but the level of control on offer is quite impressive. Dynamic playlists are constructed quickly and easily, and there's a host of settings at your fingertips.
But again things are undermined. For instance, the Q5W doesn't give you the option to display songs and tracks using tagged information - a quite bizarre 'feature' that forces you to navigate by folder in order to find the tracks and movie files you're after. It's hardly ideal. It commits random acts of weirdness, on one occasion almost deafening me with a momentary volume increase as I fiddled with the player's Mach3Bass setting. And it isn't exactly sprightly either, with delays occurring when skipping between folders and different screens.
There always seems to be a but... with this Q5W, and the list doesn't end with the OS. Another focuses on file formats. Though the player is purportedly compatible with a huge list of video files, including DivX and MPEG-2 files, it's far from a drag, drop and watch experience. I tried to get it to play a selection of native .divx and .vob files and they simply wouldn't work until I'd converted them with the bundled Cowon Media Center application. This does make the process simple with predefined device profiles for the Q5W, but it's still a pain, and all the more disappointing considering that the same company's (much cheaper) A3 PMP will play both file types natively. It also isn't compatible with H.264.

Ken and Meredith Williams are first time buyers who made their loan application with Bank of America which dragged on the loan process (should take about 30 days, took over 72). Bank of America refused to give them answers as to why the loan was continually delayed (their credit was fantastic) plus they were paying the sellers a $50 per diem for extending the escrow period. Talk about getting hit from both ends. Rather than dropping BofA and going elsewhere, they used the power of the Internet to help them,: Twtter, YouTube and Facebook sent followers to their blog. And it worked!
Next time a bank drags their feet at a closing I will remember THIS approach.
Close This Loan Video
On December 16th, Bank of America responded to the viral video by closing the loan and agreeing to pay all of the late fees charged by the seller (escrow was scheduled to close on October 31st). "The Williams' loan closed December 16. We apologize for the delay in closing, and for the inconvenience, we provided a credit at closing,†Bank of America said in a statement.

Kotsay may be Boston-bound
Kotsay may be Boston-bound
When Kotsay was scratched from Tuesday night's lineup against the Marlins without any medical reason provided, it was obvious that the Braves were negotiating a trade that would send him elsewhere, and there is heavy belief the interested team is the Red Sox.
Then, after Kotsay contributed to Tuesday night's 10-9 win, Braves manager Bobby Cox confirmed the trade talks without specifying the interested team.
"They've been talking all day, and they're still talking," said Cox, who ended up inserting Kotsay as a pinch-hitter during Tuesday night's four-run, ninth-inning rally.
With J.D. Drew out since Aug. 17 with a bad back, the Red Sox have been in search of a veteran outfielder, and multiple sources had previously confirmed the defending World Series champs have shown interest in Kotsay.
When told early Tuesday evening that the Red Sox were close to putting Drew on the 15-day disabled list, Kotsay responded by saying he wouldn't be surprised if a trade was completed within the next couple of hours.
Thus, he wasn't surprised when Cox called him into his office a short time later and told him he was being removed from the lineup.
"I'd have to say this was my weirdest night in the big leagues," Kotsay said. "They are just in discussions. We'll just wait until they tell me something."
The Braves and the unspecified team are still trying to work out an agreement. Kotsay said they haven't reached a point where he's had to talk to his agent about his limited no-trade clause.
At the same time, he's privately given indication that he'd welcome the opportunity to join the Red Sox, who are fighting to earn a postseason spot as the American League East champs or as the Wild Card entrant.
"As a player, you want to win and have a chance to compete in the postseason," Kotsay said. "If I'm traded to a club that is in postseason position, that will be great. Although, I've had fun here. It's been great to play for Bobby [Cox] and be in this clubhouse."
After being acquired in a January trade with the A's, Kotsay provided the veteran presence the Braves envisioned. In 87 games this year, the 32-year-old outfielder hit .289 with six homers and 37 RBIs.
When the Braves acquired Kotsay, he was considered a health risk. After having back surgery in March of last year, he was limited to a career-low 56 games, and played in just eight August games before ending his season.
Kotsay's back proved problematic again in late May of this year. He missed 33 games from May 26-July 1 with a lower back strain. Since ending that lengthy stint on the disabled list, he's appeared in 41 of the 48 games the Braves have played. During that span, he's hit .284 with two homers and 16 RBIs.
While Kotsay's time in Atlanta will likely prove to be short, his name will long be a part of Braves history. With his five-hit performance against the Cubs on Aug. 14, he became just the second player in franchise history to hit for the cycle.
All along, Kotsay proved to be the hard-nosed leader the Braves had touted when they acquired him. After drawing an intentional walk on Tuesday, he slid hard into second base and may have prevented Hanley Ramirez from turning a game-ending double play.
"That's playing the game," Kotsay said. "Anytime you put me in the game, I'm going to go hard."

Ok here's my setup & issue:
I have an iPhone 4s and a 2014 x3.
- BMW Apps work when I connect my phone via USB into the arm rest (i.e. facebook)
- BMW Bluetooth streaming works along with phone calls.
- BMW Widgets works
- BMW local google search works
- Sending an address via maps.google.com to the vehicle works
- BMW Internet & BMW office isn't working
When I try to use BMW internet it just tells me to check my contract status, but I have the tech package which includes a 3 year subscription to all services that already work in the vehicle aside from these two. To my understanding, BMW office is supposed to read me emails as I receive them, but that isn't working.
Anyone have any idea of how to set these up? I tried plugging my phone in via USB to access BMW internet and have it read my emails but neither works. However, sending a destination from google maps to my car works great and that uses my email so I'm stumped. Any help is appreciated

It's the first of February, which means Valentine's Day is right around the corner! If you're on the hunt for some cute party decor, this sweet DIY centerpiece is sure to win guests' hearts.
Shopping List
- Conversation hearts (this took two bags)
- Ribbon
- Wood dowel
- Tin (or pot or small bowl)
- Styrofoam ball and base
- Glue gun
Step 1: Make Your Base
Cut a piece of styrofoam to fit in the bottom of your bucket. Make sure it's nice and snug down there so it can safely support the topiary. Next, wrap your wood dowel in the cute ribbon and glue it at each end. Tie a little bow on if you please!
Step 2: Glue to Your Heart's Desire
This part of the project will be much easier (and faster) if you have a helping hand. One person glues while the other assembles the candy hearts to the styrofoam ball. One by one, add a dot of hot glue on the back of each conversation heart. Work your way around the ball, piecing the hearts together as puzzle-like as possible—and don't fret if a little white shows through. Make sure to leave a small space for the dowel!
Step 3: Assemble the Topiary
Carefully poke one end of the dowel into your candy heart ball. Then, do the same at the base. Cover the base styrofoam with the left over candy… and voila! Your sweet DIY is ready to display and delight.
If you try this craft, or any of our DIY ideas at home, send your photos to firstname.lastname@example.com. We'd love to feature them!

$5.5 million upgrade is unique in the nation
(Hartford, Conn. August
5, 2014) – Collaborative Laboratory Services (CLS), a Saint
Francis Care partner, today unveiled
a $5.5 million customized, fully automated clinical laboratory system that can process
up to 1,200 patient samples an hour –
the first of its kind in North America.
Located in a 4,200-square-foot
space in the Hospital, the Automation Laboratory offers full-service chemistry,
hematology, coagulation and immunochemistry testing for specimens obtained from
patients at Saint Francis, Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital, the Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute
(CJRI) at Saint Francis and other Hospital clinics; 17 off-site Outreach Patient
Service centers for phlebotomy services; and 50 post-acute care and assisted
living facilities in Connecticut. The lab performs approximately 5 million
tests annually. "Custom lab automation
is a huge step forward in taking care of our patients," said Kathleen Luczyk, CLS Chief Operating Officer. "With this
state-of-the-art facility we can greatly improve our test turnaround times, making
diagnostic information available to our physicians and clients in a timelier
manner, thereby improving the quality of patient care and patient safety."
"The partnership between Saint Francis and Beckman
Coulter is focused on providing the utmost quality to the patients of this
community while helping provide an efficient, secure and safe work environment
for the staff. We are honored to have the
opportunity to work on this venture with Saint Francis," said Joe Ross, Senior
Marketing Manager, Beckman Coulter.
The installation caps
off three years of planning to replace prior chemistry analyzers with the
top-of-the-line equipment from international diagnostics and life sciences
technology manufacturer Beckman Coulter.
The lab at Saint Francis boasts the first fully automated lab in North
America, consolidating all major disciplines (chemistry, immunochemistry,
hematology and coagulation) onto one automated line. This provides the consolidation of patient
specimen entry to one location to significantly reduce the risk for error.
The handling of patient
specimens is now largely performed by robotics. Within the Hospital, specimens
are delivered to the laboratory via a pneumatic tube system. Upon arrival, specimens
are manually bar-coded, placed in specialized racks, and then transferred to
the Beckman Coulter Inlet module of the automation line – the sole time
specimens experience human intervention. A robotic arm then transfers specimens
from the 50-position rack on the Dynamic Inlet to individual specimen tube carriers
at a single point of entry for the processing line. The specimen bar-code is scanned, then the robotics
computer system queries the laboratory information computer system (LIS) to access
information embedded within the bar-code, and routs individual specimens to the
proper module of the automated line based on that information. If needed, specimens are centrifuged,
decapped, aliquotted and then routed to specific analyzer(s).
From a single
workstation, technologists monitor operations of multiple analyzers, as well as
the automation line using Command Central, a unique combination of hardware and
software. After testing is complete,
results are uploaded to REMISOL Advance, the data management software, and when
certain criteria are met, these results are automatically uploaded from Remisol
to the LIS and EpiCare, the hospital
electronic health record. The sophisticated informatics deployed by
Saint Francis allow the hospital to automatically validate normal results to be
posted to clinicians, representing up to 90+% of the work on the automated
When the autovalidated criteria are not met, a technologist intervenes
to evaluate the results and determine next steps. After testing is complete, samples are automatically
transported from the analyzer, recapped and delivered to two refrigerated
stockyards located at the end of the automation line. Each unit has capacity to store up to >5,000 samples at between 2 degrees
C and 8 degrees C. Specimens stored in the refrigerators are easily retrieved via
the robotics without any human intervention if needed for further testing (
add-ons, repeats).
Although the systems
has been in operation for only two weeks, technologists and specimen processors
have already embraced the new technology and have experienced the improved
efficiencies in workflow that this system provides.

Administration (FDA), State of Connecticut, Certified OSHA Lead Testing

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by roscoe36, Oct 20, 2005.
Start reading at post #21 of this thread!
5 PM is good for me tommorow (Friday). Also do we need a yahoo email address to sign up because i tried to sign up for for a yahoo league before, and I needed a yahoo email address.
I'm ready now. Any time works for me. The sooner the better. I'm not certain of my schedule for next week yet. I'll keep you posted.
you just need a generic yahoo account which consequently comes with a yahoo email account as well. Once you setup a yahoo account you can then register to the fantasy b-ball league with any email address.
I can do it anytime after 530. Is there anything that needs to be done before the draft??
draft time whatever time you set is fine with me. i'm across the other side of the world so i'll either work around your time or pre-set my picks.
Everyone should have a Yahoo ID. Sign Up Here Keep in mind that you can use your "everyday email address" in the league as notification of trades are sent to you by email. Anyone worried about spam, don't be. I played last year and Yahoo sends me about 1 email a month about Sports News which I UNsubscribed from after 6 months and never heard from them again. I am sure you can set up your account not to send you any extra yahoo mails.
Looks like evenings are best. Does anyone have an issue with Sunday evening?
time I cannot make it until after 6:30pm at the earliest.
thanks man, i'll do that right now.
I'm clear at the moment. That could change when I get my schedule. It looks like I won't know until tomorrow.
So are we going in a private league on yahoo?
Yes, it will be a private league.
How many rounds? I heard 12 & also 13. Either one correct?
Im open anytime except Sunday
Sunday is out. D-Tater, please keep us apprised of your schedule. Looks like next week may be best rather than rushing now.
13 rounds.
Sunday yes sunday eve would work for me.
can I get in on this? i ususally do pre rank so whenever is fine with me.
Maybe. My list of people who want to play is shrinking. Please PM me an email address so that I can send an invite on short notice. @everyone else, please do not PM me (see first post) with questions or time constraints. Post them here so that others are not saying such and such time is good and you have told me privately that time would not be good for you. There is a method behind the madness of a public thread. Everyone on the same page getting the same info. In the meantime, please send me the email address that you want the league invitation sent to by PM. But please post anything else here. If I don't receive your email address by Sunday evening I will assume you are out and grab players from my replacement list. If we cannot work out a good time for a live draft (it will be impossible to accommodate everyone), we will autodraft next weekend.

What is in this article?:
- Would Dr. Deming Have Been a Black Belt?
- Where are the Cost Savings?
- Lean vs. Six Sigma
Several clues in Deming's teachings may help shape opinions on the answer to this question.
If Dr. Deming were alive today, would he embrace being a certified Six Sigma Black Belt (or in his case a Master Black Belt)? The answer to this question is impossible to know for certain. However, there are several clues in his teachings that could help shape opinions on what the answer might be.
Dr. W. Edwards Deming was first and foremost a statistician. His degree was in electrical engineering and he eventually became a professor of statistics at NYU. He used his understanding of mathematics to develop sampling techniques that allow for accurate predictions of a whole based on the results of a few. In the late 1940s, he was asked by the U.S. government to help out with a census of the Japanese population. While there, he introduced the Japanese industrial executives to various quality improvement tools (such as statistical process control) and leadership techniques (His 14 Principles of Management and 7 Deadly Diseases). This, of course, led to the successful turnaround of many Japanese companies.
Why Dr. Deming might not have supported being a Six Sigma Black Belt
From Dr. W. Edwards Deming's 7 Deadly Diseases of Management: Emphasis on short-term profits: short-term thinking fed by fear of unfriendly takeovers and pushed from bankers and owners for dividends.
When one hears the term "Black Belt," images of expert martial artists comes to mind; an elite group of people who have worked hard to master their craft. One of the mistakes many in upper management make when it comes to Six Sigma is that they send a handful of their best employees out to get their Black Belts and then think that they have done their part without bothering to try and learn themselves. Once their employees achieve certification, the company executives usually want a quick return on their investment. This can have devastating results as illustrated in the following example (based on an actual project).
Doug silently closed the door to his office, sat down behind his desk and reexamined the chart on his computer screen. "What have I done?!?" he thought as he closed his eyes to try and figure out what to do next.
Three months earlier, Doug was elated when he received his Six Sigma Black Belt certification. He had gone to several training sessions and completed a simple, yet impactful project in order to achieve this career goal.
"Congratulations Doug," his manager told him when he returned. "Now, we need to put your new knowledge to work so you can help us achieve our objectives. I want you to take a look at our order entry process. One of our leading customer complaints is that it takes an excessive amount of time to place an order over the phone."
Doug set out to demonstrate to his boss that the tools and methodology he learned would prove to be beneficial. He formed a team of several order entry operators and began using the DMAIC methodology to help figure out what was causing the excessive order entry times. Once some data were collected, he put together the following chart showing the amount of time it took to enter an order.
"Wow!" said Doug at one of their meetings. "It looks like our customers spend an average of 14 minutes on the phone to get an order placed. But look at the range. It could take as little as four minutes but could take as long as 24 minutes. This seems excessive."
"That does not surprise me," said one of the order takers. "Our computer systems are extremely slow, especially when we are dealing with a high volume of calls."
"Yeah," said another. "It gets so bad sometimes that I find it easier to look up the part numbers in our catalogues. This can take quite a long time, especially on complex orders. We tried a while back to add more operators, but that just slowed the system down even more."
After several weeks of meetings and analysis, the team exhausted all avenues with the exception of the most obvious solution: upgrading the computer systems to speed up the processing times.
Doug presented all of the data, analytical work and recommendation to the company leaders.

New Liberal MP gives emotional victory speech
09/09/2013 , 8:50 AM by STUART STANSFIELD
The new Member for Barker received a hero's welcome from Liberal supporters at his post-election function in Mount Gambier on Saturday night.
Tony Pasin addressed the gathering for almost 10 minutes and paid tribute to his family, supporters and campaign workers including manager Dale Howard who has worked with Mr Pasin since he won pre-selection.
Although Mr Pasin has come into office with a two-party preferred swing of 3.5%, the Liberal Party's primary vote fell by about 2.5% in Barker while Labor's primary vote fell 9.7%.

Guy Garrick HTML version
18. The Vocaphone
Promptly to the dot I met Garrick at the appointed place. Not a word so far had
been heard, either from Violet Winslow or Mrs. de Lancey. There was one thing
encouraging about it, however. If they had become separated while shopping, as
sometimes happens, we should have been likely to hear of it, at least from her
Garrick was tugging the heavy suitcase which I had seen standing ready down in
his office during the afternoon, as well as a small package wrapped up in paper.
"Let me carry that suitcase," I volunteered.
We trudged along across the park, my load getting heavier at every step.
"I'm not surprised at your being winded," I panted, soon finding myself in the
same condition. "What's in this--lead?"
"Something that we may need or may not," Garrick answered enigmatically, as
we stopped in the shadow to rest.
He carefully took an automatic revolver from an inside pocket and stowed it
where it would be handy, in his coat.
We resumed our walk and at last had come nearly up to the house on the first
floor of which the maid Lucille was. The suitcase was engaging all my attention,
as I shifted it from one hand to the other. Not so Garrick, however. He was
looking keenly about us.
"Gad, I must be seeing things to-night!" he exclaimed, his eyes fixed on a figure
slouching along, his hat pulled down over his eyes, passing just about opposite
us on the other side of the street. I looked also in the gathering dusk. The figure

Washington Roars with Laughter after Joel McHale & President Obama Take the Mic at Correspondents' Dinner
HBO talk show host John Oliver recently told NPR that the White House Correspondents' Dinner is where jokes "go to die," but that certainly wasn't the case during Saturday night's (May 3) event when Joel McHale and President Barack Obama took the stage.
Dazzling the crowd of reporters, politicians and Hollywood stars, both speakers drew out a number of laughs, and to be fair, plenty of duds to the enamoured crowd in the Washington, D.C. Hilton for the 100th annual event.
As for a few of President Obama's best zings, he quipped on his low approval rating stating, "In 2008 my slogan was 'yes we can.' In 2013 my slogan was 'control + alt + delete.'"
The Commander in Chief also threw shade to Fox News, stating, "Let's face it, FOX, you'll miss me when I'm gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary [Clinton] was born in Kenya."
And Joel had his fair share of one-liners, throwing jokes at Obama, saying, "I think he's one of the best presidents in history. Definitely in the top 50. Please explain that to Jessica Simpson."
He even had one for the lovely Michelle Obama, joking, "You have been very kind to me and my family, especially when you showed us all how to tear a phone book in half with our bare hands."

Elena (Russian: Елена) is a 2011 Russian drama film directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev. It premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Special Jury Prize. The film depicts the social and cultural distance between the inhabitants of an exclusive apartment in downtown Moscow and a crumbling khrushchevka in Moscow's industrial suburb. Elena is a woman with a proletarian background who connects these disparate worlds. She met Vladimir, an elderly business tycoon, in a hospital when she was his nurse. Their alliance has been described by a critic as "a morganatic marriage nearly a century after the October Revolution".
This is the second film in our three part screening of Andrey Zvyagintsev's works.
Free admission, no RSVP required.

Mini-ITX Sized Package with a Full Sized GPU
PC components seem to be getting smaller. Micro-ATX used to not be very popular for the mainstream enthusiast, but that has changed as of late. Mini-ITX is now the hot form factor these days with plenty of integrated features on motherboards and interesting case designs to house them in. Enthusiast graphics cards tend to be big, and that is a problem for some of these small cases. Manufacturers are responding to this by squeezing every ounce of cooling performance into smaller cards that more adequately fit in these small chassis.
MSI is currently offering their midrange cards in these mini-ITX liveries. The card we have today is the GTX 760 Mini-ITX Gaming. The GTX 760 is a fairly popular card due to it being fairly quick, but not too expensive. It is still based on the GK104, though fairly heavily cut down from a fully functional die. The GTX 760 features 1152 CUDA Cores divided into 6 SMXs. A fully functional GK104 is 1536 CUDA Cores and 8 SMXs. The stock clock on the GTX 760 is 980 MHz with a boost up to 1033 MHz.
The pricing for the GTX 760 cards is actually fairly high as compared to similarly performing products from AMD. NVIDIA feels that they offer a very solid product at that price and do not need to compete directly with AMD on a performance per dollar basis. Considering that NVIDIA has stayed very steady in terms of marketshare, they probably have a valid point. Overall the GTX 760 performs in the same general area as a R9 270X and R9 280, but again the AMD parts have a significant advantage in terms of price.
The challenges for making a high performing, small form factor card are focused on power delivery and thermal dissipation. Can the smaller PCB still have enough space for all of the VRMs required with such a design? Can the manufacturer develop a cooling solution that will keep the GPU in the designed thermal envelope? MSI has taken a shot at these issues with their GTX 760 Mini-ITX OC edition card.

Is it an Acura NSX or a Maserati; Corsair's Graphite 380T
Subject: Cases and Cooling | September 5, 2014 - 02:14 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: mini-itx, mini ITX, graphite, corsair, 380t
You have seen Ryan's video review by now but you can also check out a different review of Corsair's Graphite Series 380T. The so called drink cooler case was tested with an A10-7850K and an MSI A88XI AC motherboard which unfortunately blocked some of the bolt holes that would have attached the Cooler Master Seidon 120V so be sure to install any coolers which require a custom back plate before mounting the motherboard. The radiator did fit in the side mounting points as it could not be placed in the front or back, something else to keep in mind if building a system in this tiny little cube of 8.2" x 10.3" x 11.1" (356 x 292 x 393 mm). To complete The Tech Report's Casewarmer a GTX 660 Ti, SSD and Cooler Master V550 PSU were installed, all of which remained at decent temperatures under load and thanks to the integral fan controller did so without producing ridiculous amounts of noise. If you are wondering about the handle, it did not feel at all strained when being carried even with all components installed.
"Corsair's Graphite Series 380T is a supercar-themed Mini-ITX case designed for the PC enthusiast. Does it live up to its billing? We loaded it up with our Casewarmer build to find out."

Little. Yellow. Different.
Corsair just can't help themselves, they just can't stop building new cases. Obsidian, Carbide, Graphite; the obsession is never ending it seems. That's good news for enthusiasts though as Corsair's entries to the case market have almost always been high quality. Today's official launch of the Graphite 380T, available in yellow, black and white color schemes, brings yet another entry to the Mini-ITX form factor. It's a market that has been getting a lot of attention lately and one that requires more careful thought in design.
With a price of $139-149 depending on color, the Graphite 380T isn't a cheap case by most users descriptions but it is quite unique - both from the look and style as well as the implementation of components. You get a 3-speed fan controller as well as an interior dome light that adds a little character to an exterior that will already get a lot attention. And maybe some comparisons to a Dewalt portable worksite stereo.
The front panel removes with a simple spring-loaded click release and acts as both air inlet and filter for the large 140mm fan included up front.

Cooler Master Elite 110; a small case for a small price
Subject: Cases and Cooling | August 21, 2014 - 01:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: cooler master, Elite 110, Casewarmer, mini-itx
A few months ago Lee reviewed the $40 Cooler Master Elite 110 and with the recent resurgence of mini-ITX systems it is worth revisiting this case. Measuring 8.2" x 10.3" x 11.1" (208 x 260 x 280 mm) it is a rather small enclosure which will lead to a crowded interior but a stylish looking and easy to place system. As you are limited to a 3" tall heatsink The Tech Report opted to go with watercooling as you can just squeeze a 120mm radiator in; in this case the Seidon 120V. The A10-7850K based "Casewarmer" was installed and with some tweaking The Tech Report managed to keep temperature and sound levels within a decent range but you should consider your cooling components with the knowledge that this case can get warm and loud without the right fans and heatsink.
"Cooler Master's Elite 110 is a tiny case with a price to match. Is it a good value? We loaded it up with parts and ran it through our testing gauntlet to find out."

It's so cool, and so tiny
Corsair continues to march down the path of making a PC case for just about every user imaginable. At Computex this past June, Corsair announced the Carbide Air 240 case, which is a smaller version of the very popular (and well reviewed) Carbide Air 540. These unique cases include two separate compartments: one for the motherboard, CPU, and graphics card and another for the power supply, storage, and miscellaneous cable clutter. The result is a sleek cube-shaped form factor that is easy to build inside.
Available in both black and white (with UV resistant paint), the $89/99 case fits both Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards allowing quite a bit of component flexibility.
A quick look at the front of the case shows the cube-like shape that both the Air 540 and Air 240 share, a form factor resulting from the dual-compartment design. The Corsair logo in the center can actually be rotated depending on the orientation of the case which itself can be rotated to allow the windowed case door to be the top of the case rather than the side.
Keep reading our overview of the Corsair Carbide Air 240 with plenty more photos and descriptions!!
Features and Specifications
As the popularity and availability of small form factor PC components continues to grow, more companies are coming out with new enclosures that support this expanding market. Today, we are taking a detailed look at Cooler Master's latest entry into the mini-ITX arena; the Elite 110 case. It's amazing just how powerful a PC can be built around one of the latest mini-ITX motherboards and how much hardware can be stuffed into a small cube. In addition to basic computing needs, the Elite 110 enclosure offers a great many expansion options, with support for overclocking, a high end graphics adapter, up to four HDD/SSDs, a full size ATX power supply, and even water-cooling; all inside a small ~10" cube!
Cooler Master Elite 110 mini-ITX case key features:
• Small footprint: 280 x 208 x 260 mm (11.1 x 9.2 x 10.3")
• Supports mini-ITX motherboard
• Front mesh panel with vents on both sides and top
• One 120mm intake fan in front (included) or one 140mm fan (optional)

Computex 2014: Corsair Announces Carbide Air 240, Graphite 780T, and Graphite 380T Enclosures
Subject: Cases and Cooling | June 2, 2014 - 07:00 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: mini-itx, micro-atx, corsair, computex 2014, chassis, cases, atx case
Today Corsair announced three new enclosures in a lineup covering the ATX, micro-ATX, and mini-ITX form factors.
Carbide Series AIR 240
The first announcement is a smaller version of the popular Carbide AIR 540, which promises big cooling with a small footprint. The Air 240 supports micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards, comes equipped with three of Corsair's high performance AF120 fans, and can support 240mm radiators and long graphics cards.
The Carbide Series AIR 240 will be shipping in August in both black and white color schemes, with a list price between $89 - $99.
Graphite 780T in black
The Graphite 780T is a full tower case dripping with features and functionality. With a style similar to the 600T more than the previous 760T, it has the same distinctive, rounded look of that earlier Graphite case.
Like all of today's announced cases, the 780T also comes in white
The 780T features premium latched side panels, a huge interior, and mammoth water cooling support (like, dual 360mm radiator support!), along with space for up to 9 hard drives. The Graphite 780T also includes three 140mm AF140 fans, and the case has an integrated 3-speed fan controller along with a "Start/Stop" button that looks like it came from a late-model car.
The Graphite 780T will be available in September and listed prices are expected to range from $179.99 - $189.99.
Graphite 380T
My personal favorite from this group, this full-featured case is Corsair's no compromise approach to mini-ITX, and looks like a miniature version of the 780T (or a really deluxe igloo cooler). It supports full-length graphics cards, 240mm radiators, and up to four 3.5"/2.5" hard drives - and the features don't stop here. The 380T has latched side panels (similar to the larger 780T), includes both 120mm and 140mm AF-series fans, and has a 3-speed fan controller.
The Graphite 380T will be available in August in white and black versions with a list price of $129.99.
NCASE M1 Crowdfunded Mini-ITX Case Now Available for Pre-Order
Subject: Cases and Cooling | May 29, 2014 - 10:42 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: ncase, mini-itx, m1, Lian Li, case, aluminium
The NCASE M1 - that impossibly small crowdfunded Mini-ITX case - is now available for pre-order at the company's website in both silver and black styles, and it will set those of us in the U.S. back $185 plus shipping and import charges (they are being shipped directly from Taiwan upon fulfillment).
Ah yes, that famous Coke can photo…
Those who have had the privilege of hands-on experience with this micro-sized enclosure (myself included) come away highly impressed with not only its impossibly diminutive size compared to the component options, but to the high build quality as well. Manufactured by Lian Li, it is of all-aluminum construction and very lightweight.
Our review of the case here at PC Perspective showcases some of the build options to give a prospective buyer ideas about the flexibility of the design, but the "no compromises" approach with the M1 does command quite an investment for an enclosure. Still, if you're looking at an ultimate-level Mini-ITX system and don't mind spending some of that hard-earned green (on an already expensive form-factor, let's not forget), you'd be hard pressed to find a better option at this size.
Introduction: The Elements of (Life)Style
If this review began by describing this mini-ITX enclosure's all metal and glass construction, its rounded corners, and the premium price tag, it might easily start to sound like it came from that company in Cupertino. Come to think of it, this case would look right at home in a lifestyle magazine photo shoot...
Living the IN WIN 901 lifestyle?
The 901 is definitely stylish, and this is in keeping with the design philosophy of a company that promotes the aesthetics of products first and foremost. So where does this design merge with functionality? This question is a fundamental part of industrial design (ID as it's known in the industry), and in our look at this striking enclosure we'll see how much substance there is to go along with all of that IN WIN style.
One Size Does Not Fit All
Computer cases are a personal thing, which is why we hesitate to make recommendations in this area. Within a certain price point there might be dozens of options for just about any need. But whether or not you're a fan of the sleek styling of a product like the 901, it's different beyond that first impression. The case starts with an aluminum quasi-unibody construction with tempered glass panels on both sides. There is a rather complex structure within this simple exterior, but it is well organized with some thoughtful (and some really smart) design choices.
IN WIN says the 901 mini-ITX case is an example of "precision craftsmanship with no compromises", and an initial inspection would leave one hard pressed to disagree. It's apparent that some serious engineering has gone into this enclosure, and there is a high level of quality befitting something with this price tag. At $179.99 this is geared toward the high-end enthusiast community, and even a smaller subset considering it is only compatible with mini-ITX motherboards. And while mini-ITX is the supported form-factor, this is definitely not a SFF case. In fact, it's almost big enough to be a micro-ATX enclosure, but this isn't a complaint. The size of the 901 allows it a unique internal layout.

Introduction, Specifications, and Packaging
Image credit: NCASE
The NCASE M1 Mini-ITX case has been lusted after for about a year now by those of us interested in small form-factor (SFF) computing, ever since it made the news last spring by making its initial goal on the crowd-funding site Indiegogo. The last campaign to raise funds ended in August of last year, and not leaving anything up to chance the creators of the M1 contracted none other than Lian Li to make their dream a reality. Today, we have the privilege of seeing the finished product!
Making things happen
We've all talked about changing some existing product to fix problems or just add features that we'd like to have. But most of us probably wouldn't take our idea to a public funding site to actually make it happen, and that's exactly why the story of NCASE and the M1 is unique. The creators were members on hardforums, and the original thread for the M1 is now well over 500 pages long.
The story began with conversation about improving an existing mini-ITX design, with the SilverStone SG05 the original topic. (It's fascinating to watch the design evolve on the thread!) Two forum members joined forces and started creating designs, and ended up with the blueprint for an incredibly small case that still supported large GPU's and 240mm radiators. Then, it was on to Indiegogo to see if the interest was high enough to get this case built.
Judging by the results starting with that initial round of prototype funding, there has definitely been interest in this design! Lian Li's prototype case was a success, and the initial production run funding campaign quickly raised more than double the goal again… Fast forward to spring 2014, a black M1 case was delivered safely, and I for one can't wait to get started building up a system with it!

Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present by Cory Doctorow (2007)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I registered a book at BookCrossing.com!
Short stories that you probably wanted to be longer. I'm a big fan of C D
In the story "When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth," there is a horrifying worldwide coordinated terrorist attack. It involves nuclear weapons, lethal bioweapons, computer attacks that essentially take down the Net, and much more. The viewpoint character, in Canada, sees the CN Tower fall. He is one of a group of computer experts in a secure facility who avoid the airborne pathogen that has killed a significant fraction of the world's population. These survivors aren't experts in biowar, etc., but they do what they can, given their area of expertise, and begin to rebuild a functioning Internet amid the steaming ruins of civilization. Then...
When they start trying to cobble together a rudimentary government, one debate involves a female sysadmin. We get this rumination from the viewpoint character:
Not many woman sysadmins, and that was a genuine tragedy.
The main character's wife and baby son have just been murdered by bioweapon. New York City and Mecca are radioactive moonscapes. Human civilization has been destroyed. And... "Not many woman sysadmins, and that was a genuine tragedy."
The passage continues:
Women like Queen Kong were too good to exclude from the field. He'd have to hack a solution to get women balanced out in his new government. Require each region to elect one woman and one man?
Look, I try to avoid political comments in my reviews. (In fact, generally such comments are part of the problem.) But you have to call out extreme insanity. An author who writes something like that is not mentally normal. You literally cannot satirize leftism any more; it deranges people's minds so thoroughly that a worldwide bio-nuclear strike sets off editorials asserting the need for more affirmative action. A normal person, in the wake of WMD-caused megadeath, would blurt out something like, "Oh God, this is terrible! Billions of people have been killed!" People like Doctorow would blurt, "Oh God, this is terrible! Women are underrepresented in network-admin positions!"
There is also the fact that the story screeches to a halt so the author can insert his little Op-Ed piece on politics. One is haunted by the painful suspicion that Doctorow thinks he's being subtle here. One also gets the sense that he is actually fantasizing about such a cataclysm because, hey, at least it would clear the way for proportional representation.
Anyway, at this point, of course, I stopped reading and started just randomly flipping through the remaining pages. A few days later, the protagonist and a friend are wandering outside the secured facility, trying to find some food. To get the absurdity of what comes next, a little scene-setting:
They didn't see a single soul on the fifteen-minute walk. There wasn't a single sound... It was like walking on the surface of the moon...They walked past a little hatchback and in the front seat was the dried body of a woman holding the dried body of a baby, and his mouth filled with sour bile, even though the smell was faint through the rolled-up windows.
A page later they encounter a woman wandering in the ruins of civilization. The following exchange ensues:
Felix held his hands up. "Seriously, are you a doctor? A pharmacist?"
"I used to be a RN, ten years ago. I'm mostly a Web designer."
"You're shitting me," Felix said.
"Haven't you ever met a girl who knew about computers?"
"Actually, a friend of mine who runs Google's data center is a girl. A woman, I mean."
"You're shitting me," she said. "A woman ran Google's data center?"
Amid the smoking craters where there used to be cities and the corpses lining the streets, people say, "Wow, a female ran Google's data center? That really strikes me as a surprising and dramatic fact worth taking note of!" WTF? (What's surprising about that, anyway?)
As I write this, in April 2015, there is a tempest in a teacup in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy world about "right wingers" "taking over" the Hugo Awards. The "right wingers" are actually just people who want to replace fiction that is (1) horribly stupid and (2) politically in-your-face, like the above, with actual story-telling. The amount of pearl-clutching this has occasioned from the in-your-face crowd is hilarious; God forbid that people read a story that doesn't bombard them with tendentious agitprop!
I flipped through the intros to the rest of the stories. In the last intro, Doctorow compares the siege of Leningrad in WWII to, well, read: When Doctorow visited the city with his grandmother, who had been in the siege, "She pointed out the corners where she'd seen frozen, starved corpses, their asses sliced away by black-market butchers; the windows from which she'd heaved the bodies of her starved neighbors when she grew too weak to carry them... My grandmother's stories found an easy marriage with the contemporary narrative of developing nations being strong-armed into taking on rich-country copyright and patent laws." Well, of course! Who, on hearing of the cannabalism in the siege of Leningrad, doesn't instantly think of international copyright law?
Summary: If you want story, not a political lecture of elephantine unsubtlety, avoid this deplorable collection of idiocy.
I spent a lot of time today, once I wandered over there somehow, on Cory Doctorow's site, looking at his opinions and downloading his books and thinking about it all. I decided I'd read Overclocked, since it's short stories and I didn't feel like reading anything long and drawn out. Of course, the short stories added up to more or less the same amount of reading time, but oh well.
There's six of them. I liked the first one, which is more or less microfiction -- I liked the end, anyway, and the concept. I'd have wound it tighter, hit harder, but I like the idea.
When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth made me laugh in places. I felt like it was a little dry in places where it could have been heart-rending, and skipped where it could have been interesting and got drawn out where it wasn't. Probably my least favourite of the six.
Anda's Game was quite interesting. The extra detail of Anda's life seemed a little dry, at times: it didn't live in my head, I couldn't really sympathise. I wish I had, it could have been awesome.
Next up, I, Robot. I liked this one a lot: it was a world I could get interested in and characters I could get somewhat invested in. I'd have liked more of it.
I, Rowboat made me laugh a good bit, at the start. I like the references to Asimov and the use of the three laws of robotics here. I also liked the introduction: "If I return to this theme, it will be with a story about uplifted cheese sandwiches, called "I, Rarebit"."
And After The Siege... I possibly liked the best. The version I downloaded was badly edited -- I don't know about all versions ever -- and there was some confusing name switching for some reason. But I liked the ideas, although again I felt like some of the emotional life of the story fell flat.
Definitely interesting, and worth spending the time with, but I probably won't revisit it. It feels very focused on the points Cory Doctorow's trying to get across, rather than the lives of his characters, but his ideas are interesting nonetheless. I did like that it's accessible speculative fiction -- no impenetrable technobabble.
I'm a fiend for short fiction, and Doctorow's [b:Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present|115969|Overclocked Stories of the Future Present|Cory Doctorow|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171719071s/115969.jpg|111691] is a thought-provoking collection of stories, often focused on intellectual property issues (it's more fun than it sounds).
I, Row-Boat and After the Siege were two favorites, though all the stories have something to recommend them.
My only complaint is that Doctorow is sometimes so eager to prove a point that he occasionally short-changes the story itself, or crosses that fine line between smart and preachy.
That said, this is a wonderful collection, and well worth your time.

"In Cory Doctorow's new collection of stories, he offers up mind-bending science-fiction tales that explore the possibilities of information technology - and its various uses - run amok. "Anda's Game" is a spin on the bizarre new phenomenon of "cyber sweatshops, " in which people are paid very low wages to play online games all day in order to generate in-game wealth. "When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth" tells of the heroic exploits of "sysadmins" - systems administrators - as they defend the cyber-world, and hence the world at large, from worms and bioweapons."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

5 tools for designing iPhone and iPad apps
I've compiled the 5 tools below to help optimize the process of designing an iPhone or iPad app. They are all relatively simple tools, but they all serve their own little purpose by optimizing a part of the process of when going from idea to completion.
Rarepad wireframe templates
We designed these 11×17 templates to quickly sketch down ideas during the wireframe process. Download them, print a bunch, and start sketching.
iOS5 GUI PSD
Teehan & Lax have been putting out these hi-res templates for iOS for a couple years now, and we use them all the time if we need to drop in some standard iOS controls without having to recreate the element ourselves.
Designing for the retina screen can be a little bit deceiving when you're looking at it on your monitor due to the difference in pixel density. To ensure the design is looking how it should, we utilize an app called liveview which displays what you're working on directly on the device. Handy.
Bjango Photoshop actions
I design all of my apps at retina resolution, then when it's time to export assets for standard resolution, I can just use one of these actions and it will scale everything appropriately. The only thing to note is that you should constantly be aware that you need to have all attributes (drop shadow values, sizes, ect.) in multiples of 2 so that they are scaled down in the cleanest way possible.
App icon template
This icon template is amazing for quickly creating and exporting icons at all required sizes you need for your app store submission, as well as a couple other cool features.

- - Popularity of center cockpits? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/97419-popularity-center-cockpits.html)
Popularity of center cockpits?
One day my wife and I would like to go cruising. A few years ago we cruised the Bahamas on a hunter 45 center cockpit and really enjoyed the layout of the boat. The rear cabin was large enough that you could walk around as if it were a bedroom in a house. My wife really enjoyed the rear deck where she could lay out and sun herself.
As I look on yacht world, there are very few cc's offered that are recently constructed - ie. within the last 10 years. Additionally, it seems most of the cc's that are available in the mid 40 ft range are hunter passages.
Why are there not more modern cc's being manufactured? I like the deck salons, however the rear cabin seems tight with the ceiling a few feet above the mattress. Seems like it would feel like a cave at night. Thoughts would be very welcomed.
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
Any thoughts on why there are not more center cockpits?
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
My guess is that putting the aft cabin under the aft cockpit has become more popular. Several "advantages" to that layout - engines are smaller so they don't benefit as much from the big engine room under a C/C, people generally prefer an A/C on deck - sail visibility, drier etc. C/C doesn't generally work as well for boarding from a sugar scoop, A/C interiors feel bigger than C/C layouts - less corridor space. Look at the differences in the interiors from a womans perspective and I think you'll have your answer.
Just MHO. :)
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
The folks I have met who have a center cockpit all seemed to be quite happy with it, so I believe it to be a matter of personal preference. The comments already offered are quite valid, though, and should help with your decision. As to inside space, my personal experience is that we spend very little "awake" time below - other than in the galley (and even then) - but, again, that will depend on the crew and whether or not you have a decent dodger/umbrella set up to keep you comfortable in most weather.
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
Possibly people buy modern CC boats and keep them? I love mine.
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
Lots of Amels around. Fine if expensive cruising boats.
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
I remember the boston boat show in 84 they had a 36' CC S2 there.
I fell in love w/ that boat. If I had money to burn, the chase would be on for a Bene 36 cc. For me there's something about the deck space & the rear stateroom on a cc that very appealing.
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
4 Attachment(s)
In prior days on centercockpit commonly had a queen berth aft and forward. Neither comfy in a seaway whereas quarterberth was comfy spot and no leeclothe/bundleboard needed. Now a days with broad stern of ac boats can either have two staterooms or quarterberth and multipurpose area ( workroom etc.) in aft portion of current designs. Still, although HR is pushing a new line of ac boats they sure sell abunch of cc boats and even revised their 43.
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
Thanks everyone for the comments.
Svauspicious, I also wondered the same thing - maybe people who buy them (cc's) just dont sell them. My wife and I plan to attend the Annapolis boat showin the fall and will look at more aft cabin boats - maybe there is an aft cabin that is close to a cc in space in the rear birth.
Other than the passage, can anyone recommend another cc?
Many thanks.
Re: Popularity of center cockpits?
I love my CC. I do think those who own them tend to stay with it. I have had several folks just out of the blue offer to buy mine.

I'd imagine you just get a 2 1/16" inch drill bit and go to town. run the wires up underneath and drop the gauges in

can anyone tell me what I would need to do in order to change my stock boost gauge (the one that comes on the steering column) which is in mPa, to PSI?
Replace it with one that reads in PSI.
'92 Civic Si
but do i need to replace the whole gauge pod, or is it possible to replace the face?
I believe Omori makes a gauge slightly bigger then the OEM one. It is a tight fit, but I have heard of it going into the stock pod. So the answer is, all you should have to replace is the gauge.
I dont recall though if the Omori one is in PSI.

thanks sizzle ****.
Your welcome...I think.

I too would llike to know how this install was done! It looks like a layer of plastic was added for the guages to mount to...doesnt look like the gauges are mounted to the bottom of the tray. I would like my 2 guages that i have to install look like this, but i want them more angled upwards.

Albuquerque, N.M. • Another round of rainfall moved across New Mexico on Sunday, renewing the threat of heavy runoff from already saturated soils and flooding in low areas as residents faced a major cleanup from damage left in the wake of days of relentless rain.
The National Weather Service issued a flash-flood watch for much of central and northern New Mexico. In the northeastern corner of the state, where the chance for heavy rain was greatest, residents along the Gallinas River were warned that the waterway could swell again.
"I wouldn't be surprised if more records are broken as far as one-day rainfall totals because we still have that abundant moisture in the area," said Jason Frazier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.
For a state that has been in the grasp of an unprecedented drought, numerous records have fallen in the past week as floodwaters have broken through dams, inundating neighborhoods and leaving behind muddy swaths of debris.
Some areas received close to 10 inches of rain since the deluge started Tuesday. Parts of Albuquerque have seen more than 4 inches, marking the wettest September on record for the city.
"A lot of locations have had more moisture for the month of September than they've had all this year or maybe even all of last year as well," Frazier said.
All the rain is helping New Mexico out of the drought, but the cost has been high. At least one person has been killed, and state officials estimate the overflowing rivers and runoff have caused millions of dollars in damage.
The massive flooding prompted Gov. Susana Martinez to issue a state of emergency Friday, opening up recovery funding for roads. She toured some of the water-logged areas Saturday.

Las Vegas • Country superstar Shania Twain says she'll end her residency in Las Vegas with a final show Dec. 13, two years after she began performing at Caesars Palace.
Twain announced 16 "Shania: Still the One" shows in October and December, in addition to summer performances running through July 26 at the Colosseum.
The singer known for hits including "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" arrived in Las Vegas on horseback in November 2012. Traffic down the Las Vegas Strip was temporarily halted for the herd of horses that accompanied her on her grand entrance.
