About the Project
It may be among the least studied aspects of World War II: the fate of German soldiers captured by Allied forces.
Archaeologist Adrian Myers is hoping to fill in part of this historical gap with his World War II Internment Camp Archaeology Project.
With an NGS/Waitt grant, Myers and his team have begun researching a World War II prisoner of war camp in Manitoba, Canada. Occupied from 1943 to 1945, the camp, at its peak, held about 400 German soldiers captured in North Africa after the Second Battle of El Alamein, an important victory for the Allies. In July 2009, with help from Jerram Ritchie, Adrian completed the first phase of fieldwork.
None of the original buildings at the Canadian POW camp still stand, but many signs of its existence remain visible. Myers and his team used basic equipment, such as GPS, tape measures, digital cameras, and weatherproof notebooks, to record the site. Earth and concrete foundations could be seen where the buildings had once stood. They also discovered the camp's concrete incinerator, two garbage dumps, and a decaying wooden canoe carved by the POWs in their spare time. There were POW-built gardens with walls made of cobblestones. Many of these are still visible. The team also discovered many smaller reminders of the prisoners' daily lives, including a broken mug and saucer and even beef bones leftover from one of their meals.
In summer 2010, Myers plans to return to the site with an expanded research agenda and more team members. They will start with comprehensive and precise digital mapping of all the remains, from large foundation walls down to individual fragments of broken glass. They will collect a sampling of the surface artifacts and then excavate in a few small test areas. This will determine where larger excavations will be carried out in 2011. Any artifacts discovered will be carefully labeled, packaged, and transported to the Historical Archaeology Laboratory at the Stanford Archaeology Center for further study.
Myers hopes his team's investigation of this historical site will contribute to a greater understanding of this time in history.

Fascinating Conversations From Our Weekly Radio Show—Nat Geo Weekend
00:11:00 Bob Ballard
Boyd heads out of the studio to join National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Bob Ballard aboard his vessel the E/V Nautilus. Currently in Turkey, Ballard tells Boyd about the many shipwrecks he is finding in the Mediterranean. You can follow Ballard and his team, live as they explore the ocean at www.nautiluslive.org.
00:06:00 Valerie Clark
National Geographic grantee Valerie Clark licks frogs for a living. As Clark tells Boyd, she's not looking for Prince Charming. Instead, she is studying how the diet of frogs in Madagascar relates to the toxicity of their skin.
00:11:00 Lee Berger Audio
National Geographic grantee and paleoanthropologist Lee Berger has been searching for the fossils of human ancestors, but it was his 9-year-old son who stumbled upon the find of a lifetime: a partial skeleton that may very well change our understanding of the genus Homo.
00:07:59 Brad Norman
Some go swimming with dolphins or stingrays, Brad Norman, National Geographic Emerging Explorer and marine conservationist, talks about swimming with the largest fish in the world: the whale shark. Norman speaks with Boyd about his research concerning whale shark habitats, tracking and conservation.
00:11:00 Losang Rabgey
National Geographic Emerging Explorer Losang Rabgey has found her life's work in strengthening rural communities on the Tibetan plateau, which includes building schools to educate local students. Rabgey joins Boyd with updates on the successful work of Machik, the non-profit she founded and now directs.
00:11:00 Dereck and Beverly Joubert
National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Dereck and Beverly Joubert capture astounding images of African wildlife in their beautiful films. The Jouberts live in the African bush alongside the lions and other animals they profile. They explain to Boyd that, because big cats are in such danger, their work is now focused on conservation projects such as the Cause an Uproar program.
00:11:00 Nathan Wolfe
National Geographic Emerging Explorer and virus hunter Nathan Wolfe says there is a disease pandemic lurking just around the corner. But, we can prepare ourselves. Wolfe says there are even ways to harness and use the power of viruses. Wolfe joins Boyd to talk about his new book, The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age, which is changing the way we think about viruses.
00:09:00 Joshua Ponte Audio
National Geographic Emerging Explorer Joshua Ponte was a successful young English entrepreneur when, over breakfast one morning, his eye fell on a newspaper ad that said "Gorilla Reintroduction Program, Gabon." His life has never been the same since. Pursuing his passion for conservation, Ponte moved to a central African forest where 13 orphaned gorillas were being studied. Boyd talks with Ponte about the joys and dangers of raising young gorillas.
00:11:00 Wade Davis
How did the death and destruction of World War One lead young British climbers to attempt an epic conquest of Mount Everest? National Geographic Explorer in Residence Wade Davis answers that question in his new book "Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest." Davis joins Boyd in the studio to chat about the book.
00:11:00 Sylvia Earle
National Geographic Explorer in Residence Sylvia Earle has been deeper undersea than any other woman. Earle is an oceanographer, explorer, author, lecturer, field scientist, and an inspiration to women around the world. She recently received the Royal Geographic Society's 2011 Patron's Medal. Boyd talks to Earle about some of her early dives in the Jim Suit.

00:08:00 Bruce Bachand
Many people picture archaeology as the swashbuckling adventure portrayed in the Indiana Jones trilogy. But in reality, it can be much more tedious than discovering the Holy Grail and fighting Nazis. National Geographic grantee Bruce Bachand has been meticulously sewing a 3,000 bead necklace back together in Mexico after discovering a pre-Olmec burial site that housed a tribal chief and his wife, undisturbed for several centuries.
00:09:00 Catherine Jaffee
Turkey is famed for its honey, which is music to Boyd's ears—he has a notorious sweet tooth. He visited National Geographic grantee Cat Jaffee, a beekeeper who left her job in Washington, D.C. to make honey in rural Turkey. She says that bees harvest pollen from their surroundings: the best honey comes from bees with natural surroundings, large meadows, rather than urban environments. Most people, Jaffee says, eat honey that is basically a synthetic mix of sugars from all over the world.
00:09:00 Elizabeth Lindsey
Most of human history existed before the advent of GPS technologies that can pinpoint where we are at any time. National Geographic Fellow and ethnonavigation expert, Elizabeth Lindsey has taken it upon herself to understand what it was like for Polynesian explorers to colonize tiny, remote islands across the south Pacific Ocean. To better appreciate the skills it takes to study the clouds and winds in search of land, Lindsey plans to join a team of Polynesian women who are island-hopping using traditional methods: no GPS, no cellphones and no compass.

I know how to shrink a box in JQuery but wondered if it is possible to shrink a box (or div) from fullscreen size to an absolute pixel size?
When you say "shrink", do you mean "change the width and height," or do you actually want to shrink it, so that the contents retain their proportions?
What have you tried so far?
I want a logo on a black background to display when the user first goes to a homepage with the black background covering the whole screen. Then I want the logo to gradually shrink to about 300px wide by 120px high and for the black background to dissapear revealing the page content underneath.
I thought the only way to do this was to create a massive black background image with a logo in the middle, but being a JQuery newbie, I realise that this might not be the best way.
jQuery has some animation functions that you'll probably want to look into. The two that seem most pertinent here are "animate" and "fadeOut". (Feel free to keep asking questions if you can't get something to work.)
If I were doing this, I'd have two different elements: An empty
 for the black background, and an  for the logo.
Thanks, I'll check out the link. I think you are right, two elements would probably be the best way as I can shrink the black background to zero while the logo shrinks to its final size. I'll have a go but I may be back as this is all new ground
If you want to fully customise your own animation without jQuery, maybe this code might help you get started.
I'm not sure if you want the black "cover" div to fade out or shrink with the logo. In this code, 1.5 secs after page load the black cover slowly fades out to reveal the page content underneath it.

THE burly under-14s rugby team at Wellington School got in the pink to raise almost £600 for charity.
Players wore fluorescent pink socks for the last game of the rugby season, raising cash for Cancer Research UK in the process.
Dawn Harrison, the charity's fund-raising manager for Somerset, popped along to the school to receive a cheque from Year 9 student Joel Gibson, who thought up the idea.
Dawn said: "We are delighted that these boys have recognised the need and acted positively to make a difference.
"I understand that many of the squad have been touched by cancer this year, with grandparents and some parents facing the disease. The charity is making huge strides in research and every penny raised brings us closer to finding a cure."
The boys were sponsored to wear the socks and also received a commemorative photograph and programme.
Joel said: "Cancer destroys lives, rugby brighten lives. We want to use one against the other."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The University of Pennsylvania field hockey team dominated UMass Lowell from start to finish on Sunday, easily defeating the River Hawks 5-0. The neutral-site game was played at Yale University.
Penn is now 9-2 on the season; the only team in program history to have a better record after 11 games is the Quakers' 1988 NCAA semifinalist, which was 9-1-1 at this point en route to a 14-3-1 mark for the season. UMass Lowell, a new NCAA Division I program,fell to 1-13.
Penn outshot UML 28-5, and took seven of the game's eight penalty corners. UMass Lowell goalkeeper Melanie Hopkins had 12 saves and was aided by a pair of defensive saves, while Carly Sokach went the distance in the Penn cage and had three stops for her third shutout of the season.
Jasmine Cole got Penn on the board in the 12th minute, with Emily Corcoran assisting on the goal. Sunny Stirewalt made it 2-0 just 1:32 later off a penalty corner, with Corcoran passing the ball to MaryRose Croddick who passed it to Stirewalt for the goal.
Corcoran made it 3-0 with just over 10 minutes left before halftime, unassisted, and that's how the first half ended.
In the second half, Elise Tilton and Elizabeth Hitti scored to put the score at 5-0. Julie Tahan assisted Tilton's goal.
Penn returns to action on Friday night, completing a three-game road trip with an Ivy League game at Columbia. The Quakers and Lions will face off at 6 p.m.

Alvarado to start Puerto Rico's opener vs. Spain
FORT MYERS, Fla -- Puerto Rico manager Edwin Rodriguez named well-traveled right-hander Giancarlo Alvarado, who pitched last season for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in Japan's Central League, as his starting pitcher for the World Baseball Classic opener Friday against Spain in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"We've scouted Spain and we think he matches up very well against them," Rodriguez said Tuesday as Puerto Rico tuned up for the Classic with a 4-3 exhibition loss to the Boston Red Sox. "He is very good with his secondary pitches."
Even though he is scheduled to start on Friday, the 6-foot-4, 211-pound Alvarado will pitch the first inning Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins in Puerto Rico's final exhibition.
"He's the kind of pitcher who, the more he pitches, the better he is," Rodriguez said.
Alvarado, 35, originally signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1995. He also pitched in the Minor Leagues for the Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers as well as in the Independent and Mexican Leagues. He has never pitched in the Majors.
Tuesday night's starter, Nelson Figueroa, limited the Red Sox to a run on two hits over the first three innings.
"He did what we expected," Rodriguez said. "He is one of our best pitchers."
Figueroa, who is a non-roster invitee at camp with the Arizona Diamondbacks, will start for Puerto Rico in the Classic against the Dominican Republic on Sunday.

If you want to survive doing something very creative and philosophical, money will come through meeting the right people and using whatever virtues you have to help them achieve their goals. The key to power, ironically, is bowing down. But you have to bow down sincerely. Find people that genuinely inspire you and be of service to them, but do it like a business man. Be up front and aim for the win-win. It's all about combining respect and tact, with the irreverence of philosophy and spirituality.
The toughest lesson to learn is that some people are like a trojan horse. They get into your life without letting you know how much they disapprove of you. After they attach themselves to you, and the people you love, they then deliberately act to sabotage your life, out of vengeance. They do it secretly - it is the most deadly act of passive aggression. If you ever wonder who creates computer viruses, look no further than the personality of the one I just described.
These people are very unconscious, almost completely animal, and the word sociopath is probably apt to describe them.
They might be good with language, but there is no meaning in their words. They use words to elicit emotion rather than genuine meaning.
Rather than call these people evil, it's just as useful to call them profoundly stupid. These are the kinds of people who amaze themselves at their own stupidity.
They are shocked and saddened to see the consequence of their actions, and the reason why they are surprised is that they do the evil things they do thinking they'll get away with it.
These people are the very electricity that powers my life. I do not abandon them, but live my life with them close to my heart and mind.

Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - link"or even liquid-cooling, Razer is apparently using a non-conductive mineral oil that circulates through all of the modules"
Because that mineral oil isn't liquid, right? :P Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkAs for the design itself, I love it. But that's because I love everything that is different. As for practicality, I don't think a normal PC is that difficult. I've built my first at the age of 14. I can walk many people through replacing stuff on the phone. And the money stuff I've read about this this project is insane. You could buy many boutique PCs for the money you need to invest here. Business wise, I don't see who needs it. Reply
Friendly0Fire - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkLiquid cooling is generally used to talk about a liquid getting pumped through a closed-circuit piping network with heatsinks attached directly to the pipes. That's a bit different from just bathing the components in oil and presumably cooling it at some point. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI've clarified the text, but as I understand it, this is what Razer is doing. It's one thing to use liquid as a heat-transfer medium and something else to just submerge the components in mineral oil. Reply
Aikouka - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkJarred, take a look at this photo:
The modules appear to have what looks like quick disconnect plugs that are used in custom water cooling loops. This would lead me to believe that the coolant (mineral oil) is being circulated among the parts. Honestly, my guess was that they would use the same fluid as AIO water coolers (ethylene glycol?). The only issue that I could think of would be that replacing a module would take away some of your coolant, but that's easily remedied by having all modules come pre-filled with coolant. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkYes, the mineral oil is circulated similar to liquid-cooling, and each modules should come pre-filled with mineral oil. You still need a radiator/fan somewhere to help remove heat from the system, but if the components are all bathed in mineral oil I also wonder how well the oil would be circulated via the pump(s). Reply
mike8675309 - Monday, January 27, 2014 - link
When using liquids you do not need to pump the entire fluid through the system. Natural circulation will keep the components with a supply of cooler liquids. If designed right the suction side of the pump should be at where the hot layer of oil (less dense) is. In a system like this, you would expect that the module furthest from the supply of the heat exchange would see the highest temperatures assuming a serial configuration. Reply
Flunk - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkNot at -200C it isn't. But I think I might be going a bit far. Reply
nevertell - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkWell, maybe the liquid is being cooled with phase-change cooling. Which would be both awesome and doable. Problem with this design is the cost. And it's size, since, as the new Mac Pro and mini-itx cases have shown, people don't want their computers to be big and bulky. Reply
SunLord - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkSome people don't want their computers to be big and bulky. Reply
nevertell - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkMost people. Reply
bestguyever - Wednesday, February 05, 2014 - linkThe new Mac Pro may be small but by the time you ad all the hubs and accessories you have a bug messy pile of components and cables on your desk. Reply
p1esk - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkFirst of all, any standard desktop PC is modular. Is it really so difficult to open a PC case and replace/add something? How often do you do that?
Second, if the cooling method is really bathing components in oil how are you supposed to replace them? This does not make any sense. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkYou buy a new/different module. Reply
p1esk - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkSo they will provide modules with any component I want? Is RAM in its own separate module? If no, how am I supposed to upgrade it?
All potential limitations aside, this thing does look cool. It would probably take a prize at some PC mod fest. And honestly, who upgrades the internals of their PC anymore? You buy something like this to look at, not to mess with upgrades.
It reminds me Phonebloks modular phone, yeah, cool idea, but no, it's not going to be very popular. Reply
name99 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkThe phrase you are looking for is
"a solution in search of a problem". Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, January 24, 2014 - linkThe CPU and RAM currently come in one module (possibly chipset as well, though Razer didn't say). It's not clear if you could upgrade the RAM on your own, but probably not -- just send the original RAM and CPU module back to Razer after you get a new one is one possibility. Long-term, if the idea flies Razer would be looking to work with many larger partners to get additional modules supported. Reply
Breit - Friday, January 24, 2014 - linkI've read somewhere, that they eventually plan on releasing empty modules for enthusiasts which they can fill with their own stuff. No idea how that will work out, but maybe they got that sorted?! Maybe a module with an empty CPU and RAM sockets? Reply
Egg - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkWith CPU/RAM/Chipset not really being replacable (this came to mind actually when I first saw this too...) what is the point of this? It's only marginally more easily upgradable than a normal PC. It just takes a little bit of effort. Reply
Rocket321 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI'm thinking hot swap bays, but for pci-e cards as well as storage. Pretty cool concept but with obviously a lot of issues to sort out. Reply
lmcd - Friday, January 24, 2014 - linkWell if you have a bunch of people with these, say take the sound card over to a friend's for a party?
IDK what other situations even make close to sense with this. Reply
lmcd - Friday, January 24, 2014 - linkNow that I think about it, with PCIe 3.0-based XF, AMD graphics cards in these would make a ton of sense for choosing where your power goes. Reply
Gigaplex - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkThe point is to appeal to the "gamer crowd" who supposedly like the aesthetics. Reply
Aikouka - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkhttp://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/3364#1
On the left side, fourth module down. That module says "CPU RAM" on it, which leads me to believe that you can replace it. If I had to guess, either the PCH is also in that module, or the whole system will be limited to specific components based upon the underlying tech in the base. Reply
pewterrock - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI think he meant upgrade the CPU or RAM. You can only upgrade both, not one or the other. Reply
syxbit - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkIf the price we reasonable, I'd definitely buy one.
Say, a 20% markup on each component. But we all know they'll screw the pooch and overcharge, and it just won't sell well Reply

beginner99 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkThis things has no market. Most people don't care and just buy a new one after their 5+ year old turd becomes completely unusable. Others that care more are already served well with the current status. Nowadays it's not like you need to be a rocket scientist to add RAM or any kind of PCIe card. Before plug+play days this might have had case but not know. Reply

Gigaplex - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - link"though Razer indicated that there's at least on working prototype that's currently being used by their CEO"
To me, that's the most unbelievable claim they've made related to this project. Even if they had a working prototype, why would the CEO be the one doing the hands on testing? He's got better things to do with his time, and minions to do that for him. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkRazer's CEO isn't quite your run-of-the-mill CEO. Plus, if he has a working prototype, I'd assume more than just that one exists. I gathered from some of the comments that Project Christine (and Nabu) are something he came up with and tasked his employees with creating, rather than something the engineering folks dreamed up on their own. Reply
dac7nco - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkThis is impossible, and would be in anything else but VME/SBUSS, where the CPU was an add-in card. This system would have to have to have a proprietary connector, in each "cell", which fed PCIe-16 3.0, SATA-III and up to 300 watts.
Oh, and mesh, seamlessly with the factory water/(OIL!) cooler when Mr. NumbSkull picks up a GTX-760 module at WalMart. God help us from this.

Dustin Sklavos - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkThis thing is a logistical horror show, and every time I hear about it I actually get a little more irritated.
Best of CES boondoggle. Really, the prototype is being used by the CEO, that's why they couldn't demonstrate a working one on the show floor? They could only make one prototype? Of a device that requires so much extra work and expense to be modular that it defeats the purpose? Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - link"at least one working prototype" doesn't mean it's the only one. Supposedly at least one of the systems at CES was working prior to being shipped to the show. Yeah, I know -- I believe that story about as much as anything else. Anyway, I (and you, hahaha) know someone that works over at Razer, and this is a real thing. How many exist? He can't say. How well do they work? He can't say. But it's not just a fake prop on a pedestal.
I'll withhold any final judgement until (if) the design ships. I still feel the whole thing is more like an automotive concept car that's unlikely to ever be produced in reasonable quantities, and honestly while it's eye-catching I can't see this as being somehow aesthetically superior to all the other cases out there. Anyone with kids or pets is probably thinking the same thing: "That tower of modules is a disaster waiting to happen!" Reply

Notmyusualid - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkIt looks amazing. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI always suspected something like this would come eventually. The thing is, I don't think so anymore. The reason is because of cost. This will cost a pretty penny. Much like anything Razer, actually.
I also happen to think the limitations of chipset/memory and other devices along with the fact only THEY will make the modules is going to seriously limit this concept.
If AMD were pushing this concept, I could actually believe it more. AMD makes or sells CPU's, GPU's, motherboard chipsets, memory, and it wouldn't be hard to imagine them selling SSD's. They could push this concept in a way that no one else could simply because of their reach.
If Intel, nVidia, and AMD all showed up saying, "This is the future of desktop PC's," and used this as a way to introduce ease of use with higher end performance than your traditional laptop/tablet/smartphone SOC, then I'd say, "Yeah, this is going to be revolutionary."
But I see this as the desktop equivalent of the Razer netbook that never came to market. Reply
Rocket321 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI agree that this is a bit of a silly idea, but if there is one thing needed in the PC space it's innovation. I hope Razer keeps dreaming up crazy ideas and gets some motivation behind other companies as well. Reply
name99 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkSomething like this DID come "eventually" ---in the 1980s and 1990s. That's what a bog standard tower PC is.
You may also have noticed that they are being outsold 100 to 1 by phones, tablets, laptops, even iMac clones. Which tells you something about the urgency of the "problem" that modularity is solving. Reply
An00bis - Saturday, February 01, 2014 - linkIt's like saying matchstick boxes outsell modern cars 1000 to 1, well of course they do dumbass. Something that costs less, breaks more easily and is worn as a fashion accessory will get replaced faster than something that just works and doesn't need upgrades. Modern PCs have been so powerful since 2010 or so that there's no reason for most people to upgrade. I have a sandy bridge i5 and if I were to buy a modern cpu, I'd barely get like 10-20% more performance in a few specialized programs. Phones on the other hand, are cheaper, and receive performance/OS/spec upgrades every other month. It's clear to see why phones outsell PCs and this has been the norm since cellphones appeared.
what are you going to say now? you'll start saying with a smirk that the sun is bright and that hitting your head on the walls gives you a boo-boo? thank you captain obvious, you always come to the rescue. Reply
fokka - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linki had really hoped that we'd get depper insights here at anandtech, but it seems razor just isn't providing enough information for this.
i think we can all agree that this seems like an intriguing concept and looks quite stunning at the very least. also it won't be a cheap solution and given the rumours that only razor will sell parts for it is another big problem.
on the hardware architecture itself, unless razor implements some genius design-solutions, there will be a boatload of difficulcies and restrictions inherent to a build like christine.
things like upgrading ram could be solved rather easily, there just needed to be a door on the main module, where cpu/chipset are included. handling with ordinary ram-dimms would defeat the razors concept a bit, though, but they could just encase them in slim black/green metal sticks, akin to fuel cells one might know from sci-fi movies, or videogames. not a big problem.
but upgrading the cpu is a whole nother scenario, since you'd probably have to exchange the whole chipset/mainboard-module including this part.
that's also why i don't think razer will offer amd-based solutions, at least not for quite a while. it's difficult/complicated enough with intel only, i imagine, so i don't think they're very eager to include processors from the underdog of the cpu-sector. unless amd pays good money, that is, but i doubt that.
another thing i'm not sure how they will solve it is cooling. ok, it's cool (no pun) they want to use oil as a heat conductor/disperser, but where will the oil be cooled? is the surface of the whole rig enough to cool down a 500-1000+w machine? without fans? i could imagine they can pull it off with vertical modules and a very ripped surface, but that thing would look like a radiator then.
the next point might be more nitpick, than problem, but i'd find it to be overkill, to add a whole module, just to add another ssd/hdd. i think, at least with ssds, they should still offer a module, where you can plug in 2-4 2,5" drives of your own choice, instead of wasting space for each individual drive.
also, adding a cheap part like a hdd in its own module, maybe even oil cooled (to help with the heat load of the whole system) seems mighty exaggerated. this would easily make a 200$-upgrade out of what you could have for sub-100$ on a normal machine.
but somehow i ghave ot the impression that a low price is the last thing razor wants to adress with this concept.
the last point i came up with regards recycling old/broken parts. i guess razor would have to offer a free service where they'd take back the modules, recycle the oil, refurbish case and maybe even the electronics and then resell them somehow. this seems to be rather effortful, but just throwing away those nicely built aluminum-modules filled with oil and electronics would be an irresponsible waste.
something else i wanted to add (no, i'm not finished, yet!): in the article jarred mentions additional pcie-lanes. i think a build like christine is predestined for ivy bridge/haswell-e and triple/quad-sli. hell, maybe they even bring a xeon-based model, just for the hell of it.
if they "only" went with ordinary consumer class hardware, lanes really could be used up quite fast and afaik a plx controller can only help with "redistribution" of lanes, not offering more lanes/bandwidth (to the cpu).
pcie4 could further help with this limitation, but it will be a while until we see pcie4-hardware.
this would be all, i think. Reply

justaviking - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkIt's a CONCEPT, not a product. Nobody said it was practical today.
Look at automotive "concept vehicles." Gull wing doors, six wheels, a desk and a fridge, holographic displays...
Look at "runway fashion." Victoria's Secret "angel wings," or a dress that drags 12 feet behind you, or a suit with shoulders you could place your nick-knacks on...
Things like this are meant to attract attention, demonstrate ideas, brand your company, inspire your customers, employees, and investors, and maybe, just maybe, evolve into an actual product someday (which may or may not look much like the initial prototype).
I think it's a cool idea. It seems to me having a fiber optic backbone would be a good way to provide the bandwidth between sections, but that silicon-to-fiber interface is still tricky. And would you have to buy the "internals" of the modules from Razer, already packaged in the module? (Probably, which means no more shopping a Newegg or TigerDirect.) Practical? I don't think so. But a cool concept? Oh yeah. Reply
fokka - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkyou're right, it's just that in the computer sector those concepts and prototypes seem to be more grounded in reality, than futuristic car concepts and of course those ridiculous contraptions they're wearing at fashion shows.
so i think it's reasonable to expect razor to bring this concept to market sometime in 2014, early 2015 which isn't all that far in the future. and that's why people like me publicly comment on the concept and verbalize their hopes and doubts about it.
but that is a good thing, because who knows, maybe razor hears some of the feedback, even from lowly commenters and forum users, and is able to adapt and fine tune the rig to better appeal to the future customer. Reply
Murloc - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkThe price will never be worth it since anyone who's able to choose a cpu/gpu/ram/hard disk configuration for himself has enough ability (and probably interest) to assembly the PC himself. If not, you can pay $100 for someone or the shop to do it for you and test it as well, which is much less pricey than whatever pricey cooling system component goes to waste every time you change a piece in this modular PC. Reply
Aries1470 - Sunday, January 26, 2014 - linkThere are still many people out there, that prefer form over functionality, and prices to be higher than your average Joe can afford, so that they can have something different.
Just saying. :) Reply
DemBones79 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI'm more interested to know how- if at all- they solved the issue of Windows freaking out when you replace certain low-level components of the computer. I haven't tried doing this since Windows 7, but I know with older versions of Windows, if I had to replace the mainboard, it would no longer boot. Is this still an issue? That would really suck the appeal out of the system if replacing your CPU meant you had to reinstall the whole damned OS and applications. Reply
Rocket321 - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkThat's a very good point... The only thing I can think of would be to use a hyper visor - perhaps pre-installed on all the Razer HDD/SSD modules which would add a layer between the OS and hardware and would probably cause a performance hit. Either that or plan to reinstall your OS if you swap the mobo/cpu module. Reply
fokka - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkif this problem still persists, i bet razor would just offer a registration service to conveniently reactivate windows. i don't think windows would do anything differently and i also doubt they would implement another another layer between win and razor-bios. Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkWin 7 and 8 are much cooler regarding motherboard exchanges. They will start up fine most of the time (especially if it is a direct update from one Intel chipset to another Intel one or the same with AMD). But you should always do a clean install, because while it will boot, it might not run stable or have unexpected results (low SATA/USB transfer rates for example). Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkIt is a nice idea with many pratical hurdles. However, if they build up this infrastructure and especially the interconnects, they could be used in other form factors too. Like in some big box with large and quiet fans, using those modules without Razer's cases. For example attaching a few external GPUs in practical boxes to a more regular PC via these interconnects. Reply
PEJUman - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI see this slightly differently, IMHO Razer is thinking about turning into gaming version of apple. There are numerous boutique builders out there, but they are still less mainstream than apple, meaning there is a certain technical knowledge required to properly interact with them.
Razer modules & subsriptions based system seems to point towards color coded / level based hardware.
let's say that they have 2 main bases (custom motherboards: latchless memory connectors, latchless CPU, etc) one with Zx7 series another with Xx9 series chipset.
label one tier 1 the other tier 2.
then a customer with tier 1 subs will get tier 1 GPUs, tier 1 CPU - Mem, tier 1 cooling modules, etc.
when a new GPU is released, everyone at tier 1 gets their updates, the old parts goes back and becomes tier 2 new modules.
Since it's a subcription, it does not matter if the modules are new/used (think comcast), Razer will replace them free of charge if/when it breaks.
then the final piece would be razer specific software that would install drivers, custom 3D profiles, etc. So all the games would be 'fire and forget' and the settings are properly optimized by Razer's engineers prior to the update release.
I can see Razer market is as:
Tier 1: 4K - 45 FPS gaming on all latest releases, new modules within 2 weeks of AMD/Nvidia launch.
Tier 2: 1080p - 60 FPS gaming on all latest release, new modules within 6 weeks behind tier 1 launch.
Tier 3: we just want your money, you can have this razer sticker... JK Reply

RoninX - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkI'd like to see an open standard for a PCI-E backplane with CPU/chipset boards that can be easily replaced.
Right now, it's easy to upgrade a GPU in a desktop, but a total pain-in-the-ass to upgrade the CPU and motherboard.
At the same time, while I love Razer's products and design, I'm not entirely comfortable with having to rely on a single vendor for proprietary modules when building or upgrading a PC. Reply
CaedenV - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkA few things I noticed:
1) There is a CPU/RAM module in the pictures, so it is likely replaceable, but you would not be able to upgrade the RAM separate from the CPU. Possibly an issue there... but if these things are coming with 16-32GB of ram then I don't see it being a big deal.
2) If the motherboard is in the CPU/RAM module, then most likely an upgrade of this unit would also upgrade the motherboard/chipset/PCIe Revision/Etc. If the front and rear IO ports for USB/TB are actuial PCIe cards and not mere risers, then it means that the motherboard/chipset could be heavily paired down and simplified... but it would also mean that it would make for some expensive IO modules.
3) On the website there are some pictures clearly showing a reservoir in the PSU unit, meaning that this is probably where the pump could be living as well. If the PSU is liquid cooled as well then there would be no particular need for a fan anywhere in the system.
4) While I have not built one (yet!) I have done quite a bit of research on doing a mineral oil PC, and it is a very different beast compared to other forms of water cooling. To start with, it distributes heat very easily throughout the fluid, which means that it does not need a whole lot of fluid movement to transfer heat from the source to the radiator. Secondly, because mineral oil is non-conductive, it allows for much more flexible radiator designs. Typically the surface area of the container (traditionally a fish tank) is enough to dissipate the heat of a fairly powerful system. Metal is much better at heat transference than a plastic/plexi fish tank... and there is a lot of surface area in the design of this unit... so I would wager that the entire rig becomes the radiator with no need at all for any fans in the system, and only minimal need for a pump to help with a little active heat removal from parts like the CPU and GPU units. Lastly, because of the heat spreading nature of mineral oil, the entire system runs at the same temperature. This means that if your GPUs are putting out a bunch of heat, then the whole system will reach peak temperatures. But with metalic modules, and so much surface area, it would probably never get more than mildly warm to the touch. Maybe 35-40*c?
5) The control module is the really interesting bit to me. Is this merely a fancy interface for the BIOS/UEFI on the CPU module? Or does the Bios/UEFI live separate from the motherboard? Either would be interesting, and it looks amazing!
The whole thing looks pretty amazing. Probably too expensive for me to get even if it ever does come out, but still a very neat idea that I would be interested to see come into reality. Reply
CaedenV - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - linkAnother possibility, which I cannot quite tell from the pictures, is that the custom ports on the front of the device could be very different from the ports on the back of the device. This could allow the ports for the front facing pods to be passthroughs for things like motherboard IO and SATA ports, while the rear facing pods would be pure PCIe. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, January 24, 2014 - linkThe front ports don't provide as much power, but it's not clear what sort of PCIe interface goes to the front vs. back -- they all look the same, so probably physical PCIe x16 but with different lane allocations. This is one of the questions we couldn't get an answer to (yet). Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Friday, January 24, 2014 - linkThe CPU is probably mounted onto a COM Express module. If so then its not really a modular system. It's just a typical pc with a "somewhat" external gpu and an undoubtedly outrageous price tag. Reply
Aries1470 - Sunday, January 26, 2014 - linkOk, her goes my observation and comments and ramblings etc.
It looks like the tower has front and rear entry points.
From top to bottom we have:
Empty <-> BD RE
GPU 02 <-> 2 in 1 connected with CTRL
Empty <-> FRONT IO
PSU / WATER COOLING With a level indicator Full / Empty
There seem to be 2 liquid connectors, of which one would be an entry, and the other the exit point. Then some proprietary connectors.
Option to select operating system. Touch screen selection?
Now having looked at the pictures, it does look like it is still in the prototype stage, since personally I would not like the square connector, especially if it was to tip over/ get knocked over by a pet or someone, the connectors would probably bend.
Personally, I would have chosen an optical bus, and there are a couple out there already, but for convenience, it could be the Intel / Apple lightning bus instead of the copper version, or have PCIe or riser, maybe with a proprietary connector for the 'block', and external SATA for HDD/SSD drives, as that would lower cost. Have assigned locations for each type of block, or some interchangeable ones too. If the video cards are to be in SLI etc, then there could be a flap and connector available at the rear with a flexi-cable connector.
Now, since the width is around 6 in, this is from the 1st image that houses the 5 ¼ in BD drive bay, there can easily be a housing that would have 4 – 2 ½ in drives in it for raid etc.
Each module, contains its own mineral oil, so when the system is powered down, it can be removed or added, without affecting the rest of the system. I think this is already the case.
As for adding more memory to a system, that can be easily addressed, with a slide in locking mechanism, that also contains a smaller connector for the mineral oil and snaps in to place. So the memory issue is the easiest ;-) plus it can be at any location needed, and it would make the CPU / RAM module look cool too. The benefit is to this approach, that only tested and approved modules can be sold, that have been tested for the motherboards, and can have a notch / connector slightly different so they can not be used on the wrong type of board.
Any way, I have made a comment elsewhere, so I might include my "slogans" here too :-) :

LAKELAND, Fla. - Saint Leo men's lacrosse middie Robert Hutchinson collected a career high 11 ground balls as he went 13-for-26 on faceoffs, and tallied two goals in the Lions 14-10 loss to Florida Southern on Saturday evening at Bryant Stadium in Lakeland, Fla. The Lions conclude their regular season with a record of 7-6 and 4-4 in Deep South Conference action, while the Mocs advance to 8-5, and 6-2 in conference.
George Proechel led the team with five points, tallying a hat trick and two assists on the night. Robert Hutchinson was close behind with two, while Matt Obermeyer, Chris Caiazza, Kevin Hutchinson, Ray Ferrara, and Ryan Burke scored one goal each. Caiazza and Obermeyer added one assist apiece to close out the Lions' scoring efforts for the evening.
Patrick Berry made 11 saves on the evening, collecting two ground balls in the process. His counterpart, Andrew Almansberger, made six saves while allowing 10 goals.The Mocs saw three players earn a hat trick, as Jon Freda, Dane Sorensen, and Mat Thompson scored three goals each. Freda led the game with six points as he added three assists to his total.
Florida Southern jumped out to a three goal lead before the Lions could place a point on the scoreboard thanks to a goal from Kevin Hutchinson off of a Caiazza assist with 9:09 remaining in the first quarter. Both teams traded blows once around to close out the first period with a score of 4-2.
The Mocs opened up the second stanza with two more goals to pull ahead 6-2, but Ferrara ripped a shot past Almansberger to close the gap to 6-3 with 10:39 to go before the half. Florida Southern netted the next goal, but Obermeyer answered back off of an assist from Proechel to pull within three, 7-4, with 2:12 on the clock.
Despite the Lions' best defensive efforts, Sorensen scored with 23 seconds remaining. The ensuing faceoff was won by the Mocs, and a shot by Sorensen at the horn squeaked past Berry to set the score at 9-4 at the half.
Saint Leo changed its game plan at the break, and came out with the first two goals of the third period to pull within three, 9-6, with 8:07 on the clock. However, Florida Southern closed out the quarter with three straight, extending their advantage to 12-6.
The Green and Gold outscored Florida Southern 4-2, including two goals from Robert Hutchinson late in the game to create some last-minute momentum, but the Lions were unable to pull out a victory in their final regular season contest.
The Lions return to action on Tuesday, April 10, when they travel back to Bryant Stadium to take on the Moccasins in the first round of the Deep South Conference Tournament. Faceoff against the Mocs is slated for 7 p.m. Fans will be able to catch all of the action live at saintleolions.com.

HOUSTON - A 63-year-old woman has her car stolen while she's in the hospital.
Becky Marden said she was near death when she went to the hospital in late March. She said she parked her 2005 red Hyundai Accent outside the emergency room at Methodist Willowbrook Hospital off the Tomball Parkway in northwest Harris County.
She said for the next five weeks, she was in that hospital and another. When she came back to get her car, she said it was gone.
"Please give me my car back." asked Marden. "If you know how much I need it. Why would you take it from a hospital parking lot? And it was near the ER and not think that somebody needed it."
She said she filed a police report and checked with towing companies hoping it was simply towed from the lot in the five weeks she could not drive. She has not found it.
She relied on tneighbors to get to the doctor and to pick up her medicine.
A Methodist Hospital spokesman said he was not aware of the missing car but said calling law enforcement is the right thing to do.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/11/2012 (1725 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TICKETS for the inaugural 2013 season at Investors Group Field go on sale to the general public this Monday at 8:30 a.m., the Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced Friday.
"Investors Group Field will be something to marvel at, and we look forward to inviting new season ticket holders to experience this once in lifetime opportunity as we begin a new era of Blue Bomber football," Bombers president and CEO Garth Buchko said in a statement.
After a false start in 2012 due to construction delays, the team is pledging the stadium -- with its HD video boards, bigger seats, great sightlines and multitude of concessions -- will be fully operational in time for the 2013 pre-season.
Season tickets are priced starting at $200 and can be puchased by calling or visiting the Bombers office at Canad Inns Stadium or going online at www.bluebombers.com.

Comments about Prefinished Brazilian Koa Baseboard:
The installation uses a glue removal solution that leaves a residue which shows all footprints. It would have been nice to know that we would need to clean the floor immediately. Additionally, the use of a polish immediately after the initial cleanin would be sensible to provide protection and improve the looks.

India-owned Sembawang Australia has given Macmahon Holdings a Tuesday deadline to accept its $25 million takeover offer that rivals an agreement with Leighton.
Macmahon is looking to become a dedicated full service mining contractor, and in December struck a $20 million deal with its biggest shareholder Leighton to sell its construction projects, including equipment and staff, with the exception of some assets and its rail business.
But Sembawang has since made a two-part rival offer to the Leighton agreement.
The first offer - to buy all of Macmahon's construction businesses - lapsed over the weekend.
But the second offer - to replicate the deal with Leighton but for an additional $5 million - remains in play.
Sembawang on Monday requested Macmahon accept its proposal before 1700 WST (2000 AEDT) on Tuesday and grant access to due diligence.
"Sembawang wishes to proceed with the transaction on the exact same terms as those entered into with Leighton, however, Sembawang is offering a further $5 million as purchase consideration," it said in a letter to Macmahon's board.
Macmahon has previously said it cannot grant Sembawang due diligence without the consent of Leighton.
"Macmahon will make a full statement on this issue shortly," it said in a brief statement released on Monday.

Guest Football Coaching Blog Post
Yeah, I know I got the old saying backwards, but in my first few years in coaching, as I began attending clinics, I noticed something. Many of the coaches sitting in the audience with me said the old saying the way it has always been said: It's not about the X's and O's, it's about the Jimmy's and Joe's. You know what else I noticed? The guys on the stage never said stuff like that. They said stuff like "You can teach almost anyone to do this" or "See how our system doesn't require tons of great athletes?"
I was a young coach, but I didn't need the wisdom of experience to put two and two together. Lack of talent is not an excuse for poor play. I think this is particularly true in regards to offense because offensive systems have the ability to control the defense through formations, shifts, motions and play calls. I dare say that the offensive coordinator has more impact on the outcome of a game than any other person in all of sports.
From that perspective I have spent hundreds of hours over the past 8 years constructing an offensive system that is about the X's and O's, not the Jimmy's and Joe's. What follows are some of the lessons I have learned in the process. I don't have the perfect offense and I make a lot of mistakes in terms of calling plays, but as our offensive has evolved I have learned some things that are worth sharing.
Football X's and O's Lesson #1: Being Multiple is a Good Way to be Average
Perhaps at the college or pro levels a coach can choose to be multiple, actually install that offense and execute it with success, but at the high school level being multiple means not being much of anything. The best offenses we have faced have an identity and they cram it down your throat. My offense is a spread option offense. We line up in the same formation 95% of the time, we run various reads and options from the gun and we dare you to stop us. That attitude has been successful for us and it is the same type of attitude the best offenses we face seem to have as well.
Football X's and O's Lesson #2: Every Good Offense is a System
As I have attempted to counter the ways defenses have played us, I have come to realize that great offenses have answers. One of the slogans for our offense is "We got answers". We have found that the best plays are the counter punches to the defensive adjustments. I don't waste too much time borrowing and gathering plays from other coaches. Instead, I attempt to understand why their plays work and then discern how that concept can be applied within the framework of my offensive system.
Football X's and O's Lesson #3: Develop a system with a few top priority positions
As you attempt to put lessons #1 and #2 into practice, attempt to do so in such a way that very few positions require an excellent Jimmy or Joe. Obviously, you want to have a great team when all 11 guys are studs, but odds are pretty good that most years you're going to have less than 5 great high school players on your team and a true college talent is going to be even rarer than that. In our system, offensive linemen usually double team rather than work in a one-on-one situation. Our receivers are asked to understand concepts more than they are asked to be fast. The vast majority of the throws we ask our QB to make require accuracy more than arm strength. The point is this: whenever I create a new "answer" I ask myself, "Can we coach kids to do this or does it require too much raw talent?"
Football X's and O's Lesson #4: Become an expert at coaching the top priority positions.
Duh! But I think there are three keys to becoming really good at coaching the positions that really matter within your system.
- Identify the actual skills needed by your critical positions. One of our critical positions is QB. We are a shotgun, spread option team. Our QB needs to be able to count to two (as in 0, 1 or 2 safeties high), needs to be able to execute zone reads, options and get his feet set after a play-action fake and make a short accurate throw. We don't waste too much time working on anything else.
- Never allow traditional or popular thoughts about how to play your critical positions impact your assessment of what skills your priority positions need to develop. For instances, the Manning QB Camps aren't the best for our QBs to go to QB camp. They play QB differently than we do. We don't need to be like them.
- Become obsessed with learning how to coach those skills. Attend clinic sessions, compare video of great players at that position, be willing to experiment with new drills, etc…
I believe that when you, as the offensive coordinator, begin to put all of these ideas into practice you have the ability to impact that outcome of the game more than anyone else in the stadium. Throughout your career there will be fluctuations in the amount of raw talent on your team, but you can always put your players, within the framework of your offensive system, in a position where they have an opportunity to be successful. Ultimately, it's up to you. Are you going to be a coach that wastes seasons waiting for the Jimmy's and Joe's to show up, or are you going to focus on the X's and O's and maximize the potential of the players you have?

- "He had a limited ability to make others view him as their leader. It worked best on those who were directionless."
- ―Entry on Raoul's gift[src]
Attractive magnetism is Raoul's raw power to draw weak-minded or underling individuals to him and induce them to think of him as their leader.
Raoul was suspected to have this power, but it wasn't officially confirmed until his power was described in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide.
To use this power, Raoul mainly needed to be in close proximity to someone with a weak mind. This power also worked well to inflicting fear on those around him, supported by his masculine build, and make them view him as a leader.
During his time in the army, many male vampires looked up to him, especially Kevin and Casey, who were already part of his human gang.
This power worked less effectively on independent individuals, such as Fred, Bree and Diego. It was possibly ineffective on animals and Bella Swan's mental shield.
Raoul's power may be originated from his experience as a gangster. While managing a nascent gang in Seattle, he easily recruited new members. His trait of leadership and pride became more potent by his conversion to vampirism.
The Short Second Life of Bree TannerEdit
- "... Riley thinks he's got some kind of magnetism―people are drawn to him, they follow him."
- ―Diego's description of Raoul's gift.[src]
Diego and Bree once discussed Raoul's potential power, but they dismissed the subject very quickly. Near the battle against the Cullens, Raoul instinctually used this power to make his gang follow him.
Similar abilitiesEdit
- Heidi's ability to physically appeal to others, human or vampire, is similar to Raoul's ability. Because Raoul's power was only limited to drawing directionless individuals, Heidi's gift is proven to be stronger.
- Chelsea's ability to influence emotional bonds between people is similar to Raoul's ability to attract others.
- Fred's ability to repel others is opposite to Raoul's, and also much more intense.

Throughout the 1920s, hemlines and waistlines go down and up. You can find a good overview of average fashion for men, women and children by reading the Sears catalog (digitized on Ancestry.com). This illustration is from the Spring 1922 catalog.
I don't expect major changes in the way Violet dresses in the 1920s. There's no way she's going to change her conservative ways. It's up to the younger women in the Crawley household (and Cora's American mother) to wear contemporary fashions.

Ten people needed treatment after a fire started in a prison cell last night.
An Epsom firefighter said they were called to the fire at High Down Prison, in High Down Lane, on the border of Sutton and Banstead, at 10.50pm on January 5.
They extinguished the fire but two members of staff and eight prisoners needed oxygen after inhaling smoke and two prisoners were given first aid.
He said an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire and that the firemen were on the scene for two hours.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. - State investigators are still searching for four conspirators of the gambling scheme operated by Allied Veterans of the World.
To date, 57 individuals have been charged in the first phase of Operation "Reveal the Deal," a $300 million racketeering, gambling, and money laundering scheme perpetrated through Allied Veterans of the World's illegal gambling centers which operated under the guise of "internet cafes."
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office established a toll free hotline for anyone who may have information and activities of the Florida gambling centers formerly operated by AVW.
The conspirators at large are Gary Wayne Davis, 68m and Diane Mays Davis, 65, of Hogansvill, GA; Michael William Graham, 41, of Little River, S.C., and Cary Grant Hardee, 64, who previously resided in Ponce Inlet.
Hardee may be in Tybee Island, GA. Graham may also be in Tabor City, NC or Murrells Inlet, SC.
The four face charges of Racketeer and Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO); RICO conspiracy; manufacture, sale, possession of slot machines; lottery; keeping gambling houses; and money laundering.
Since last Tuesday, investigators have seized thousands of items of evidence, including computers and servers, paper records, vehicles and vessels.
Also since last week, additional search warrants have been served in the Jacksonville area.
Investigators found $56,400 in cash and five million Iraqui dinars, equivalent to $4,300 US dollars, in the safety deposit box of conspirator Nelson Cuba.
Documents related to the gambling operations were found in a storage unit for Marthis and Murphy, P.A. as well as the office building for the Fraternal Order of Police Foundation.
Three safety deposit boxes in Manning, S.C. owned by conspirators Michael and Janis Ryles containing $212,507 were also seized.
In total, $583,507 in U.S. currency has been seized. Investigators also served seizure warrants on the bank accounts of many of the conspirators, locating a total of $100.6 million in those accounts.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the conspirators still at large is asked to contact SCSO at 407-665-6650.
Anyone interested in speaking with authorities about the conspiracy is encouraged to call the Gambling Task Force Hotline at 1-855-411-0760. Persons inquiring about individual gambling winnings or losses should contact Allied Veterans of the World.
