Above: This view gives a sense of the enormous size of the Titanic.
882 feet 9 inches - the length of the Titanic (269.1 metres).
92 feet 6 inches - the width ('beam') of the ship at the widest point (28.2 metres).
175 feet - Titanic's height measured from the top of the funnels to the keel, also referred to as the hull (53.3 metres).
104 feet - Titanic's height measured from the top of the bridge to the keel (31.2 metres).
9 - the number of decks.
46,328 tons - the weight of Titanic in gross register tons.
1,328 - the difference in tonnage between Titanic and her sister ship Olympic (resulting from the increased size of her deck houses and other external additions).
52,310 tons - Titanic's displacement, i.e. the amount of water that Titanic displaced when fully loaded.
34 feet 7 inches - the draught of Titanic; i.e. the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of Titanic's keel (10.4 metres).
92 x 114 feet - the dimensions (width x length) of the largest room on the ship, the first class dining saloon on deck D.
1,116 - the number of portholes (also called 'sidelights') in Titanic's hull.
419 - the combined number of windows in the hull and deckhouses.
Above: The rudder of the sister ship Olympic, comparable to that used on Titanic, under construction at the Darlington Forge Company Limited.
78 feet 8 inches - the height of Titanic's rudder (23.8 metres).
15 feet 3 inches - the length of the rudder at the widest part (4.5 metres).
100 tons - the weight of the rudder (it was so heavy that one of two steam-powered steering engines were needed to operate it).
17 feet - the span of the central propeller (5.2 metres).
23 feet 6 inches - the span of each of the two outer propellers (7 metres).
Above: Boilers ready for installation in the Titanic. Note the size of the figure stood in the middle distance.
Now that you have a sense of the size of Titanic, why not read even more facts about the ship, find out about the people who built her, or discover how big the iceberg was that sank Titanic.

JPMorgan exiting physical commodities trading
Related topics
JPMorgan Chase is exiting physical commodities trading, the bank said in a surprise statement, as Wall Street's role in the trading of oil tankers, coffee beans and metals comes under intense political and regulatory pressure.
After spending billions and five years building the banking world's biggest commodity desk, JPMorgan said it would pursue "strategic alternatives" for its trading assets that stretch from Baltimore to Johor, and a global team dealing in everything from African crude to Chilean copper.
The bank's announcement followed a week of unprecedented scrutiny of Wall Street's commodity operations, after the Federal Reserve said it was reviewing a landmark 2003 decision that allowed commercial banks to trade in physical markets to "complement" their financial activity.
JPMorgan has also faced pressure from a power market manipulation scandal in California and the Midwest, with reports suggesting it will soon pay a near record US$410 million settlement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The Department of Justice and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission have also launched probes into the metal warehousing businesses owned by Wall Street banks and other large physical traders, which have been accused of driving up metals prices.
Some lawmakers and customers have said banks can take advantage of their multiple roles to manipulate prices and get an information edge. They've also warned a catastrophe involving a bank-owned supertanker or power plant could jeopardise a lender's health and leave taxpayers on the hook for a bailout.
The decision will bring questions about the next move for Blythe Masters, the architect of JPMorgan's growth in commodities and one of the most famous women on Wall Street.
The commodities unit, led by Masters, 44, trades derivatives and lends to companies and projects.

The Idaho-Montana summer circuit began last week, on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, with two shows in Filer, Idaho, followed by four all-breeds in Blackfoot, about a two-and-a-half hour drive northeast. Filer is just 35 miles north of the Nevada state line and Blackfoot the same distance from the Utah state line. Filer is a nine-hour drive northeast from Sacramento, Calif., also nine hours from Portland, Ore., and about 10 hours from Seattle. These shows draw from all five states as well as Colorado, Montana and Wyoming.
The southern areas of Idaho are arguably not as beautiful as areas in the north of the state where it's more mountainous, but the views on the drive from Filer to Blackfoot are scenic all the same. Over the past few days, the temperatures ranged from 67 degrees midday on Friday to 89 yesterday, so certainly as long as exhibitors packed a jacket or sweater, the weather can be said to have cooperated with the Blackfoot club.
The fact is that exhibitors come from all over the U.S. for these shows, and on Tuesday – now picture this, a Tuesday, in Filer, Idaho – the entry was 703, bigger than about 60 percent of the shows across the U.S. on the weekend! That day at the first of two Snake River Canyon KC shows, the Beep Lee-handled Frenchie, Ch. Hilsman Napachal Cruel Intentions, was Best in Show under judge Stephen Hubbell. 'Sebastian' is owned by David Berrey, Roxanne Hilsman and Beep, and was Best in Sweeps at the 2012 National. Already a Group winner in 2013, he was bred by Roxanne and V. Phrukwattanakal. On Wednesday, from an entry of 702, the Giant Schnauzer bitch, GCh. Kenro's Witching Hour, who, with handler Amy Booth, came all the way from Michigan to compete, was Best under Karen Wilson. 'Dora' is Number 4 Working dog through April. She's bred by Robin and Ken Greenslade, and Karen and James Mancini, and owned by Robin with Luke Norton and Doug Hill.
But Thursday is where we really want to begin, in Blackfoot, at the Eagle Rock KC. The entry that day was 1,089, and Best in Show under Mark Houston-McMillan went to Japanese Chin GCh. Dunkirk Hop To It. Tim Reese and Randy Winters' Dunkirk prefix is better known for Pekingese, of which they've bred nearly 100 champions including five Best in Show winners. 'Kermit' is among the first of their homebred and owner-handled Chin champions, earned his grand champion title before he was 10 months old, was among the breed's Top 10 last year and now… a BIS winner. He won the Group under Guy Jeavons.
Reserve BIS went to Jim Smith's homebred Smooth Fox Terrier Ch. Absolutely Talk of the Town, handled by Eddie Boyes. 'Taylor,' who won the Group under Peter Green, is not yet 2 years old and through April had won three Best in Shows and five Group Firsts, but that doesn't really begin to tell the story, since she won three more Bests in a row the first three days of this month. A daughter of the two-time Westminster Group winner GCh. Slyfox Sneaks a Peek, she's well on her way to a successful career. Her sire was Number 8 Terrier in 2009, Number 2 in 2010 and 2011, and won at least 52 Best in Shows during his career.
Michael Lanctot's Sporting Group winner gets credit for having won both Sporting Groups back in Filer as well. Clumber Spaniel GCh. Clussexx Collaboration With Traddles has been featured here in Fancy That numerous times. In 2012 he won 31 Group Firsts and seven Bests, just a warm-up to this year, when he's among the Top 10 all breeds, a feat I'm told has never before been achieved by a Clumber. The "collaboration" part of his name, of course, comes from the fact that his dam, Ch. Traddles Mrs Thingummy, comes from Sheila Musaeus' Traddles kennel in Denmark. 'Seymour' is bred by Sheila with Doug Johnson, Jeane Haverick and Jamie Hubbard, is owned by Wayne Holbrook, Beth Dowd, Jeane Haverick, Missy Capone, and A. and P. Jarmillo, and handled by Jorge Olivera.
I should mention that, although it may be true that no Clumber has ever reached the Top 10 among all breeds, Seymour is not the first Clussexx dog to do so. Sussex Spaniel Ch. Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee was Number 1 Sporting dog and Number 4 among all breeds in 2004, the same year he won his first Group at the Garden. 'Stump,' of course, went on to Best in Show at Westminster as a veteran in 2009, handled by Scott Sommer for owners Ceil Ruggles and Beth Dowd.
In the Hound Group, Betty-Anne Stenmark's winner was Bloodhound GCh. Quiet Creek's Kiss and Tell. 'Kiss' is enjoying her third year in the limelight, having been Number 4 Hound in both 2011 and 2012, and holding on to that spot through April this year. Bred and owned by Susan Lacroix Hamil and Heather Whitcomb, she's handled by Bruce and Tara Schultz.
The Working Group winner, under judge Candy Way, was, appropriately, Akita GCh. Ruthdale's Candy From a Baby, handled by Laurie Fenner for owners Dick and Linda Stark. Before coming to the U.S., 'Candy' the Akita was the youngest champion in breed history in the U.K., where she was bred by Matthew Bostock and Janet Armstrong, and Best of Breed and Group Third at Crufts in 2011. A multiple Group winner last year, she's the Number 1 Akita through April this year.
Another of Britian's big winners won the Non-Sporting Group under Patricia Lanctot. Standard Poodle GCh. Del Zarzoso Salvame From Afterglow is handled by Amy Rutherford for owners Sloan Barnett, George Lindemann, Mike Gadsby and Jason Lynn. Bred by Carlos Renau and A. Gonzales, 'Dino' was Number 1 in the Group and Number 3 among all breeds in England in 2011 before coming to America. He's already among America's Top 10 Non-Sporting dogs, and as much as he's winning these days, I suspect he'll be moving right up the rankings.
The Herding Group, also judged by Patricia Lanctot, went to Kim Furlong and Tray Pittman's sable and white Sheltie 'Satoshi,' GCh. PaRay's Preferential. Tray is best known for breeding top-winning Bichons with partner Paul Flores, but Shelties were actually Tray's original breed, and he and Paul have continued to have success in the breed. GCh. PaRay Cirque Du Soliel was Number 1 Sheltie in 2009 and 2010. Satoshi is Number 5 among all Herding dogs this year, handled by Tray.
On Friday at the second Eagle Rock KC show, from an entry of 1,129, Peter Green chose Dino, the Standard Poodle, as his Best in Show winner, and Taylor the Smooth as his Reserve BIS. Group judges were Michael Lanctot and Beth Sweigart.
Seymour won yet another Sporting Group, this one under Betty-Anne Stenmark. Bloodhound Kiss had to settle for second to Saluki GCh. Sandstorm Blue Nile Bubbles of Jatara. Readers will be familiar with 'Bubbles,' as she was Number 5 Hound last year. Bred by Kathleen Morton, she is owned by Sandra Middlebrooks, Jackie Harrington and Sara Winsted, and handled by Erin Roberts.
Akita Candy also found herself second, under judge Patricia Lanctot, this time to Doberman Pinscher GCh. Tiburon Arsenal. Master Doberman handler Andy Linton shows 'Gunner,' a red dog, for owners John and Addy Dolan, bred by John Dolan and Salli Gorman. Through April, Gunner was Number 3 Doberman with 12 Group wins and his litter sister, GCh. Tiburon Ariel Bella Donna, a black bitch, stood right behind him in the rankings. 'Bella' was a multiple BIS winner last year, handled by Esteban Farias for owners Melinda and Thomas Moyer. The two come from rock-solid Doberman lines that include Ravenswood and Aquarius.
Chin 'Kermit' won another Toy Group, under the previous day's BIS judge Mark Houston-McMillan. In the Herding Group, Guy Jeavons, who happens to be a Sheltie breeder, selected another Sheltie, GCh. Mistybrooks Panda Crossing, as his winner. Owner-handled by Shannalee Michalsky, 'Panda' is also owned by Ava Jane Pickering and was bred by Jan Williams. The bi-blue is a son of one of Tom and Nioma Coen's top sires, Ch. Macdega Notorious.
The entry on Saturday at Pocatello KC went up to 1,192, and Harrier GCh. Downhome HiTech Innovator earned the BIS rosette under judge Ann Hearn. Handled by Susie Olivera for owner Joe Sanchez, 'Chet' was Number 2 Hound last year, is holding on to the Number 3 position so far this year, and either way he's the top-winning Harrier in breed history, having taken that title from his sire, Ch. Downhome Family Tradition. Chet was bred by Susan Lowder, and Miriam and Kenneth Nell, and won the Group under Larry Sinclair. Bubbles the Saluki was second and Kiss the Bloodhound, third. That's a tough Group!
Reserve BIS, after winning the Group under Janet Sinclair, was Sheltie Satoshi, with Tray Pittman. Clumber Seymour added another notch to his belt with a blue ribbon under Houston Clark, so far the only dog to win all of his Groups in Idaho. Giant Schanuzer Dora won the Working Group under Susan Godek.
Al Krause judged the Terrier Group and made Miniature Schnauzer GCh. Allaruth Just Kidding V Sole Baye his winner. Handled by Bergit Kabel for breeder/owners Ruth Ziegler and Billie Phelps, 'Justin' was featured in Fancy That last October when I mentioned that he was the first Mini Schnauzer in more than a decade to be among the Top 10 Terriers. He finished 2012 as Number 4 Terrier and is up to Number 3 this year, a terrific accomplishment for his devoted breeder/owners and handler.
Jane Forsyth selected a Dunkirk Toy to win Group Five on Saturday, but this time it was a Pekingese, GCh. Dunkirk Imagine That. Bred by Tim Reese and Randy Winters, and owned by them with Marcia Merrill, 'Tommy' also appeared in Fancy That last October. Having won 10 Groups in 2012, he's a multiple Group winner this year as well and Number 3 Peke.
Bulldog GCh. Newcombe Pandamonium at Beda won the Non-Sporting Group under Toddie Clark. Bred and owned by Brenda Newcomb, Claire Johnson and Bev Long, 'Panda' is handled by Jay Serion. He's a son of Ch. Dickey's Nostradamus, who was Number 4 Bulldog in 2009 with two all-breed Best in Show wins from just five Group Firsts, an amazing ratio. He was bred by Dean Dickey and Sharon Holt, owned by Dean and Eva Dickey, Brenda Newcomb and Claire Johnson, and shown by Brenda and Claire, who must be just delighted that his son is also doing well in the all-breed arena.
The Idaho shows wrapped up on Sunday with the second Pocatello KC show. From 1,111 entries judge Houston Clark made Kiss, the Bloodhound, Best in Show with Bruce Schultz. Reserve BIS went to Eddie Boyes and Taylor, the Smooth. Pekingese "Tommy" won the Toy Group, handled by breeder/owner Tim Reese, under Ann Hearn, and was the last to repeat a Group win for the day.
For the first time on this Idaho circuit, Clumber Seymour stood second in the Group. Stacy Duncan breeder/owner-handled GCh. Whistlestop's Fire and Ice, one of the "Magnificent Three" Irish Water Spaniel littermates, to the Group First under Larry Sinclair. Co-bred by Colleen McDaniel, 'Annah' won the 2012 National Specialty and two Best in Shows in 2012. Her litter sisters, GCh. Whistlestop's Riley On Fire and GCh. Whistlestop's Wind on the Water, were Numbers 1 and 3 IWS, respectively, last year and occupy those spots again this year, albeit not in the same order. 'Riley' was the National Specialty winner for 2013, handled by Rick Krieger for owners Greg Siner, and Tom and Bethany Urban. Have litter sisters ever won back-to-back national specialties in any breed? I don't know, but I somehow doubt it. This year a fourth littermate sister, Ch. Whistlestop's The Wind on Fire, is a Group winner and Number 6 in the breed, so it looks like my Magnificent Three are now four.
Janet Sinclair's Working Group winner was Standard Schnauzer GCh. Chateau Palos Treaty of Goarrhein, handled by Tiffany Skinner for breeder/owners Don and Mary Lou Just, and Elizabeth Mohrenweiser. This is the second year among the breed's Top 10 for 'Tman,' whose sire, Ch. Oakwood Simply Simon, was a Group winner and among the breed's Top 10 in 2003 and 2004.
PaRay won another Group, this time with a Bichon, when Al Krause made GCh. PaRay's Power and Privilege his blue ribbon winner. Owned by Laura Rosio and Paul Flores, and bred by Paul and Tray Pittman, who handles him, 'Dominick' won 55 Groups and three BIS through April this year. His sire, Ch. PaRay's Propaganda, winner of 21 Best in Shows, is the sire of a remarkable four American all-breed BIS winners. 'Porter' was Number 1 Bichon in 2003 and 2004, and Number 2 in the Group in 2004.
In the Herding Group, Susan Godek chose Beauceron GCh. De Joie du Chateau Rocher as first, handled by Tyler Crady for owner Marlene Palmer. Bred by Karla Davis, 'Gideon' is a son of the breed's first AKC champion, Ch. Arco du Chateau Rocher, Number 1 Beauceron in 2007, the breed's first year of recognition. Gideon is one of only two Group winners for the breed this year and has won at least one Group every year since 2010.
The action continues in the northwest tomorrow, with eight all-breed shows in Billings, Great Falls and Missoula, Mont., but the entries fall off significantly, with a high of just 780 on Sunday at one of three Five Valley KC shows. You can learn much more about what happened at shows across America this past weekend, and where all the top dogs stand in the rankings day by day, by visiting Billy Wheeler's Dog Show Poop.

They were married on March 21, 1970, in Altadena, Calif., after meeting in an elevator at Weyburn Hall at UCLA. Ellen, describing the story to her children over the years, said, "He was like the Cheshire Cat, backed into the corner of the elevator with the biggest sheepish grin I ever saw."

SEGS Academy, a new charter school set to open next week in Columbus County, does not have the certificate of occupancy required to open.
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Wilmington Police are searching for a man they say robbed a 19-year-old UNCW student after she gave him a ride.
It all started at Courts & Sports in the early morning hours. According to police, the victim had given a man a ride to 5041 Market Street. She didn't know the soon-to-be attacker, but a friend had told her he was "cool."
At 1:58 a.m. Wilmington Police responded to a call for a common law robbery. It turns out, the man the young woman had given a ride forced his drugs on her and then stole from her.
The victim told police the suspect forced his pipe into her mouth, presumably full of crack cocaine. She began having a panic attack and the suspect stole money and her iPhone from the vehicle's center console.
The victim told police her attacker took off into the woods and officers began looking for him but couldn't find him. At this point, they are still looking for a black male approximately 6 feet tall.
Drivers were faced with delays Tuesday morning in the area of Fifth Avenue and Dawson Street in Wilmington. Traffic has since returned to normal.

Many gamblers in Las Vegas have made a lot of money betting on Manny Pacquiao to win fights in recent years.
Pacquiao apparently isn't a good gambler himself.
The alarming extent of Pacquiao's gambling problem was detailed in a Sports Illustrated article that hit newsstands Wednesday. One Pacquiao associate told SI's Chris Mannix that Pacquiao, who has made between $20 million and $30 million per fight during the peak of his celebrated career, once asked promoter Bob Arum for a $2 million advance on one of his purses to pay off gambling debts. Arum acknowledged that he wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to casinos "five or six times" to help Pacquiao pay his debts.
"[Manny] had one of the worst gambling habits of any athlete I've ever known," Arum told SI. "He was addicted to it."
The SI article also details how Pacquiao saved his marriage to Jinkee Pacquiao after his highly controversial victory over Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas and turned to religion to help change a personal life the wildly popular congressman admits was out of control.
"I used to pray every day, but then I kept cheating [on Jinkee] and doing bad things," Pacquiao told SI. "It's different now. The old Manny Pacquiao is gone."
The 33-year-old Pacquiao's critics claim "the old Manny Pacquiao" is gone inside the ring, too. Back-to-back uninspiring performances against Mexico's Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KOs), whom Pacquiao defeated by majority decision, and former three-division champion Shane Mosley (46-8-1, 39 KOs, 1 NC), whom Pacquiao dropped in the third round and beat by unanimous decision, have left a growing army of Pacquiao doubters convinced undefeated Timothy Bradley will upset Pacquiao on Saturday night at MGM Grand in Las Vegas (HBO Pay-Per-View; $54.95; 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT).
Freddie Roach has seen some slippage in the best fighter he trains, yet Roach doesn't think there's any way Bradley can beat Pacquiao in their 12-round fight for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title.
"He's not the same fighter he was five years ago," Roach told SI, "but he is still better than everyone else."

Lots of tech but few breakout hits at SXSW Interactive Festival
Updated 8:48 pm, Friday, March 15, 2013
AUSTIN — For all the talk of space travel, the wearable gadgets, marketing stunts and lavish parties, something was missing at this year's SXSW Interactive Festival: the next "hot app."
The brainy tech jamboree held each year is known as the place where Twitter soared from obscurity to the world stage in 2007. It's where the location-sharing app Foursquare came out in 2009.
This year, though, chatter focused on hardware rather than software, and on big ideas rather than coming-out parties. The most used mobile app was the festival's own application, which helped attendees keep track of SXSW's barrage of panels, talks, meet-ups and parties.
SXSW appears to be experiencing a bit of Yogi Berra syndrome: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
"I don't think it's indicating that there is less innovation," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of the Webby Awards. Rather, he believes there may have been fewer companies breaking out because there's just so much noise that entrepreneurs are choosing not to launch products here.
Business Channel
To be fair, attendance at the interactive portion of this tech, music and film festival has grown each year since that portion was added in 1994. Attendance at the interactive gathering hit 30,621 this year. Big brands from Yahoo to Amazon have an increasingly large presence, which can drown out small startups. Chevrolet, for instance, provided a fleet of cars to shuttle attendees between event venues.
Google Inc. made a splash when it showed off new apps for its Google Glass interactive, Internet-connected glasses on Monday evening. Timothy Jordan, senior developer advocate at Google, demonstrated a handful of apps for Google Glass, including a news headline app from the New York Times and ones from Gmail, Evernote and social networking startup Path.
"We are the pioneers who get to decide how this fits into our lives," he told a packed auditorium of programmers, bloggers, Google fans and tech luminaries. Glass, he said, is about technology that's "there when you want it and out of the way when you don't."
Jordan stopped short of letting attendees try out Glass for themselves. Even so, Google — hardly a scrappy startup — was among the most-talked-about companies at the event, not just for Glass but for demonstrating a talking, interactive pair of Adidas sneakers that, as it turns out, are not actually going to be sold anywhere.
So is the SXSW breakout a thing of the past for hot startups? Andy Kahl, product strategist at a Web privacy startup, said his company Ghostery got a sudden, unexplained spike of downloads of its privacy tool in March 2010. The company didn't attend SXSW that year, but someone mentioned them during a talk on Internet privacy. After that, the company resolved to go every year. While Kahl believes the festival is still worth attending, he said "it is fairly difficult to not get lost in the noise."
The festival's "noise" includes hundreds of panels, discussions and lectures on topics as wide-ranging as space travel, toddlers and technology, and the future of grocery stores. PayPal co-founder and venture capitalist Peter Thiel spoke about the future, startups and the concept of luck.
Former Vice President Al Gore talked about the future too, as did Cindy Gallop, the founder of "MakeLoveNotPorn" who's on a mission to rethink pornography. Gallop, who champions "real-world" sex in all its funny, awkward glory, asks regular people to submit videos of their sex lives to her website. She charges $5 to view a video and shares half the revenue with those who share videos.
"Gen Y in porn is like Gen Y everywhere else," she told a giggling crowd. "Entrepreneurial, challenging the status quo."
Foursquare founder and CEO Dennis Crowley, meanwhile, displayed an impressive number of data-tracking bracelets during his talk and laughed about the scale that tweets his weight every week. Elon Musk of Tesla Motors, SpaceX and PayPal fame talked not just of life on Mars but said he checks his email while spending time with his five kids.
To attendees like Chris Hwang of the New York-based stock-media startup Pond5, SXSW is as much about serendipity and chance meetings as it is about the scheduled events. He'd signed up for a mentoring session with venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers that ended up being canceled — but instead of moving on, the startups began talking with each other.
"Honestly, it's an excuse to come to party, to catch up, make relationships on a happenstance basis," he said while waiting in a long line to hear Thiel speak. "You come to get inspired, recharged."

Kurt Busch would like Colorado racing fans to know he's not a jerk, even if a bad-boy reputation precedes him.
"I think all the Denver fans, what they don't know about me, I'm just like one of them," Busch said Wednesday from Charlotte, N.C., where he will race Denver's No. 78 car for the first time Saturday in NASCAR's Sprint Cup.
"I get passionate, fired up about races. I try to go out and get results. That's me.
"At the end of the day, sometimes I make mistakes just like them."
Busch, a 12-year NASCAR veteran and former series champion, was hired by Denver-based Furniture Row Racing more than two weeks ago. He bumped out Regan Smith, the team's driver the past four seasons.
After two lame-duck weeks with their former teams, Busch will take over the No. 78 on Saturday, while Smith will drive Busch's old ride, the No. 51 for Phoenix Racing.
Busch was ejected from a race last week at Talladega, his final outing with his former team, after he drove away from a safety crew as officials told him to stop. He was punished twice earlier this season, with a probation and a suspension.
Busch said after last week's race he expected another reprisal from NASCAR. But Busch said Wednesday that he had spoken to NASCAR officials and is in the clear.
"Everything is ironed out," he said.
Busch said he is eager to start racing the No. 78 car and that he's already visited the team's Denver garage several times. He was waiting Wednesday for the team to arrive in North Carolina so they could prepare for Charlotte, where Busch has had considerable success. He won there in 2010 and has a second-, a third- and two fourth-place finishes overall.
"There's a little bit of anxiety," Busch said. "What's this all mean? But when you jump into the car, it's business as usual. I'm really anticipating getting into the car and doing well."
Busch already has a connection with Colorado fans. He said he raced in his younger days at Colorado National Speedway in Erie and at Pikes Peak International Raceway south of Colorado Springs.
"The core fans know that I'm a true-hearted racer," Busch said. "I was exactly like them before I started racing. I was in the grandstands rooting for drivers with everybody else.
"It was always a dream to get to this level. And here I am."
Busch takes over the FRR car with six races remaining in the Sprint Cup season. His hiring by Furniture Row — and Smith's ouster — was a sudden development. Smith moved to Evergreen with his wife before the season, to be near the team's Denver garage. And some Colorado fans who had grown to know Smith were disappointed in the change.
Busch, though, said the reputation he has gained after a troubled career is not always on the level.
"I'm not trying to be any prima donna or anything different other the guy next door," Busch said. "But there is a responsibility about being a driver in the Sprint Cup series. And I try to uphold that."

Long Live the ATM: Automated Teller Machines Are Still An Important Delivery Channel for Banks
Return on Investment
Of course, ID ATMs can be costly to install across an entire fleet. But even with a higher price tag, next-generation ATMs deliver ROI, since they can offload certain teller and call center tasks and can add value by providing messaging for new products and cross-selling, Mercator's Patterson contends.
Elite 8 Is Underway
Each year, the editors of Bank Systems & Technology recognize eight bank technology executives based on their accomplishments, leadership and vision. This year's Elite 8 will be honored at BS&T's 2012 Executive Summit, to be held Sept. 30-Oct. 3 at The Royal Palms Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Ariz.
Since encouraging self-service deposits allows banks to redeploy branch staff to improve the customer experience and reduce costs, ATMs are transforming branches, asserts NCR's Tramontano. "Offloading some tasks to the ATM allows banks to rescale their branch size." he says. For example, NCR's Interactive Teller ATM technology allows tellers and customers to talk via videoconferencing, Tramontano relates. This allows banks to centralize tellers, expand their teller reach beyond traditional brick-and-mortar branches, and provide teller service even when the branch is closed, he says.
Although ATMs may be the epitome of self-service, some banks are positioning ATMs as part of a hybrid service model. Mercator's O'Brien says banks are positioning an experienced teller to act as a "greeter" at an advanced-function ATM to answer questions, encourage self-service and even cross-sell, just as they would at the teller line. But banks must be aware of a possible backlash from newer-generation ATMs, he cautions. "Customers process more complex transactions at the ID ATM, increasing queues," O'Brien warns. "An insufficient number of ATMs in a high-volume area can cause customer dissatisfaction."
Chuck Somers, VP, core self-service solutions, for North Canton, Ohio-based Diebold, acknowledges that banks need to be cognizant of customer wait times. But he points out that most transactions at the newer ATMs are not significantly more time-intensive than simple withdrawals or balance inquires.
Nonetheless, the ATM will continue to be a big part of banks' overall channel strategies, Somers predicts. "The key is to make sure that information the customer receives at the ATM is synchronized with other channels so there is consistency," he says.
"Banks want more than operational efficiency from their ATMs," Aite's Albertazzi adds. "They want a competitive advantage by introducing a personalized and integrated user experience supported by ATMs with feature-rich and advanced functionality."
Mobile Devices and the ATM
Allowing customers to use their smartphones to activate and deactivate their debit cards is just one example of a truly integrated customer experience across channels. Chris Rowe, VP of self-service products at Diebold, expects to see continuing integration between mobile devices and ATMs. For instance, Rowe suggests that customers will be able to stage a transaction by initiating a withdrawal via a mobile banking app and then using a one-time PIN, sent to the mobile banking app, or an NFC-chip-enabled card to complete the withdrawal at the ATM.
And rather than print a paper receipt, the ATM can send a text message to a mobile phone, providing an additional level of security, adds Chuck Somers, VP, core self-service solutions, Diebold. A customer receiving a text message about a $200 withdrawal he or she didn't make will immediately report the possible fraud, he explains.

Qualcomm Snapdragon powered PurseBook
by Fudzilla staff on06 April 2009
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Won't run full-fat Windows
With so many people complaining about the battery life of their netbooks, it seems like the PurseBook might be what a lot of people have been waiting for. Although so far it's only a design study made by Wistron on behalf of Qualcomm, this Snapdragon powered MID has a certain appeal.
We're not sure the term PurseBook will stick though, but despite the name, the device itself has some advantages over a netbook, such as 8h battery life, yet it weighs less than 1kg. There's no word on screen size or resolution, but the PurseBook features a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor which is the same processor used by Toshiba in the TG01 Windows Mobile Smartphone. This means that the PurseBook won't run Windows XP or Vista, but the demo model was running a custom Linux version that looks quite slick.
Apart from the CPU the specifications are scarce, but judging from the pictures the PurseBook does at least feature a couple of USB 2.0 ports, a headphone jack and a memory card slot. It also features a built in 3G modem, but this wasn't working on the demo unit. We're not overly keen on the touch-sensitive "mouse" knob either, as in our experience these are a bit of hit and miss. Still, it's an interesting concept that will hopefully turn up as a real product in the near future.

The U.S. government has been using its border checkpoints to collect information on citizens that will be stored for 15 years, raising concern among privacy advocates, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials said the collection is part of a broader effort to guard against terrorist threats, the report said, citing a Federal Register notice the agency issued last month.
Officials said the disclosure is among a series of notices to make the department's data gathering more transparent, the newspaper reported.
A notice by Customs and Border Protection, a DHS agency, said it does not perform data mining on border crossings to search for patterns that could signal a terrorist or law enforcement threat, according to the Post.
But it states that information may be shared with federal, state and local governments to test "new technology and systems designed to enhance border security or identify other violations of law," the Post reported.
A DHS spokesman was not immediately available for comment on the report.

Monday Night Raw: The Loss of CM Punk and the Questions That Must Be AnsweredMay 6, 2013
It's less than two weeks away and only three matches are officially booked for Extreme Rules. Looks like Monday Night Raw could give us more insight as to what may happen with other "feuds" that we know will appear on the card.
There is no mystery any more in professional wrestling. There is no real excitement about any of these matches either.
Maybe it is the hangover we are feeling from the loss of CM Punk to programing and storylines. Maybe it's the staleness we feel when we look to our televisions and we feel a little empty because the "Second City Saint" isn't there to dazzle us with his comments, his wit and his abuse of power.
In his place, we are left watching Fandango dance to the beat of his own drum and more airtime with The Great Khali and Natalya. What a waste of talent for a Hart Family member. I am sure at some point Bret Hart will comment on this as well.
The build-up to Extreme Rules is shaky at best because we have a WWE title match which will again be carried by John Cena.
So we see another confrontation between John Cena and Ryback? Does Ryback explain why he left the arena last Monday night, only to return while Cena and Team Hell No lost to The Shield?
What about another "weak" match between Triple H and Brock Lesnar? Does Lesnar come to Roanoke, Va. and tear the place down? Will Lesnar actually talk, or will Paul Heyman again nursemaid him? And of course, the question on my mind, "Will we ever see Sable in the ring or on Raw again?"
Since we all know Sheamus is going to face Mark Henry and Randy Orton will lock horns with Big Show, can we hope this is the last time we see these confrontations? Seriously, why can't we see Wade Barrett turn face and brawl with the World's Strongest Man?
Does Kofi Kingston have a challenger in Big E Langston? Does anyone care? It seems like a logical solution. It also seems as though with Langston getting the nod, Antonio Cesaro will be pusher further down the WWE ladder.
What a waste of talent.
What do we make of Kaitlyn's "Sercret Admirer"? Is it a ploy by AJ to confuse the current champion? Is it someone we would not think of (Goldust?) since it is not Cody Rhodes? I want it to be JBL, but that would not work. Could it also be a Diva who might make her return to the company?
Who knows. But it will not be a replay of the "Black Scorpion" which was used in WCW to lure Sting into the ring. It was a great setup and failed miserably in the end.
That's all for now. Monday's events will lead to more questions. All of those must be answered as well.
Until then...

This is a guest post by Maggie Johnson,
a student in "Reading the Medieval Book"
On 14-15 November undergraduates in Dr. Scott Gwara's course "Reading the Medieval Book" encountered more than forty medieval manuscripts at UNC's Wilson Library and Ackland Art Museum, and at the Rubenstein Library on the Duke campus. Freshman Maggie Johnson wrote the following synopsis of the excursion.
Our class trip to UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University gave fascinating insight into the types of medieval manuscripts. Although the collection here at USC is informative, seeing unique books both sacred and secular introduced a new dimension to medieval literature.
UNC Chapel Hill has manuscripts in two locations: the Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library and the Ackland Art Museum. The librarians of the Wilson Library were welcoming and are very much interested in the preservation of their collection, which includes a truly minuscule Middle English bible—perhaps three inches wide and four inches tall at the very most.
Also notable in the Wilson Library collection is a tome of monastic vows, beginning in the Middle Ages and spanning hundreds of years up to and beyond the Revolutionary War.
More focused on artwork than books themselves, the Ackland Art Museum has a collection of illuminations taken from various sources.
Although there were several beautifully painted manuscripts, the most elaborate and interesting was a leaf taken from a gradual (a large medieval book of music for the Mass). The music itself would be beautiful to translate and perform, but the illuminations along the borders are far more attention-grabbing. They show three scenes from the Adoration of the Magi: two of travel and one of the Adoration itself. The border contains intricate featherwork in yellow and blue, with small creatures hidden amongst the swirls.
Also in the Ackland Museum are two leaves from different manuscripts depicting David in Penance, a popular illumination from the "Seven Penitential Psalms" section of medieval books of hours.
Although the pieces from Chapel Hill were themselves beautiful, a more varied collection waited in Duke University's David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The library itself is closed for renovations, but the collection was still available for viewing. Among the most notable of the manuscripts at Duke were an incomplete leaf from an Atlantic Bible (the largest type of Bible produced) and a seventeenth-century notebook containing information both mathematical and astronomical.
The notebook was perhaps the most interesting piece from the weekend, since it was a secular work as opposed to the sacred texts on display. It was a deeply personal book: whoever penned it may well have been a university student; he was clearly interested in the three theories of the solar system's layout as well as different forms of geometry. It may have also been one of the more informative books available to the class, as it gave a new look into the secular side of medieval scholasticism.

Bombshell Post Poll Shows 2-1 Majority for Transit Over Roads
The public overwhelmingly favors a massive reversal of current transportation priorities, today's Washington Post transportation poll shows. 62% of Metro area residents said that efforts to reduce traffic congestion should focus on trains, buses, and other public transportation. Only 30% said the focus should be on building and expanding roads.
The priority that area residents favor by a majority of more than two to one differs drastically from current spending patterns. The cost of highway expansions now being built in the area, including the Intercounty Connector, the Virginia Beltway toll lanes, Montrose Parkway, and numerous lesser road widenings, dwarfs investments in transit. The only major transit project currently under construction is the Metro Silver Line to Tysons Corner and Dulles Airport.
Further evidence of public support for transit came from the Post's question about the current Metro budget crisis. By a majority of 52% to 40%, residents said that Metro should get new funding sources -- even if it meant raising taxes -- rather than cut service. The poll did not ask about raising taxes to pay for new roads, but voters in recent years have strongly resisted new taxes to pay for highways.
The poll also showed continuing high levels of public satisfaction with Metro, despite the system's recent spate of accidents and maintenance-related slowdowns. 80% of regular Metrorail riders, and 70% of the public as a whole, rated the system as good or excellent. The most commonly cited major reason for not using Metrorail was that jobs are located too far from stations. Metrobus and county bus services also got high approval levels from riders, but non-riders gave the bus systems much lower ratings.
"This poll demonstrates once again that the public is way ahead of our political leaders", commented Action Committee for Transit president Ben Ross. "A massive shift in spending from roads to transit is long overdue."
The Post poll covered residents of Loudoun, Fairfax, Montgomery, and Prince George's counties as well as the District of Columbia and inner Virginia suburbs.

Day 8 The Magic of 'La Serenissima'
(Relaxed Start) In the morning, prepare to embrace this most romantic city. Your hotel is only steps away from St. Mark's Square, dominated by its magnificent basilica and overlooked by the great Clock Tower. Also in the square stands the immense Campanile and Doge's Palace which is connected to the prisons by the Bridge of Sighs. While here, visit an arts centre to watch one of the few remaining craftsmen blow Venetian glass. A visit to Venice would be incomplete without a gondola serenade. Glide along the atmospheric canals, exploring the intimate and hidden parts of this unique city while musicians set the mood with traditional songs. Enjoy a free time in the afternoon.(BB)
