What Is A Good Credit Score in 2014?
If you're talking about FICO then the range runs from 300 to 850. For years FICO used to report what the median score was but they stopped a few years ago (claiming it's "proprietary" information).
But up until late last decade – when they did publicly release the number – the median was 723. A median means exactly in the middle; half of the scores are higher and half are lower. It's a more accurate measure than the average credit score.
Most sources say a good credit score range (for FICO) is somewhere between 700 and 759. And sure enough on MyFico they list scores within that range as likely being eligible for the same mortgage rate (screenshot pictured to left).
However after the financial fiasco during the latter part of last decade, what many creditors consider to be "good" is higher than the 700 benchmark.
To get approved for a good rewards card like this one that earns up to 6% cash back or the Sapphire from Chase, you will probably need a number within that ballpark.Conclusion? Anything between 700 to 759 is within the good credit score range. However nowadays if you want to be conservative with your definition, go ahead and increase that bottom number by 10 or 20 points – i.e. 720 to 759 = good.
Watch out because a good credit score may actually be bad, depending your source.
What is considered a good credit score? Well like many things in life, the definition of "good" or "bad" will vary depending on who you ask.
But with credit scoring it's even more complicated…
You see there is a great deal of deception going on in the world of credit scores. Most sources out there do not use FICO scoring. Instead they use imitations and infer they are FICO.
There are only TWO websites licensed to sell real FICO scores and those are MyFICO and Equifax. Unfortunately both charge a lot – $19.95 and $23.95 respectively – to check your score. And you have to pay that every time you check!
If you want to get your genuine FICO for free, you can with this card from Barclays. They include it as a cardholder benefit for no cost:
More than 1,000 different scoring models?!
Yep, you read that correctly. According to Experian, by some estimates there are upwards of 1,000 or more different credit scores being used today.
Obviously you can see why this makes it difficult to answer the question "What is a good credit score number?" because first you have to ask "What type of score are you talking about?"
By far the most important type is FICO. They were the original pioneers of scoring and have been around for several decades. When you apply for a credit card or mortgage, there's a good chance the creditor is basing the decision on your FICO.
If you want to know how good (or bad) your score is, what you really should be doing is basing that decision on your FICO score. Because after all… why care about the 1,000+ other types when only 1 of them is clearly the dominant player?
So why are there different types?
One word… money. There is a lot of money to be made selling scores.
Because FICO owns their formula, it can't be used by creditors (or websites selling credit scores) unless they pay FICO for that right. And obviously since they are the industry leader, doing so isn't going to be the cheapest option.
This is why over the years, competing scoring models have been created – some are useful, while others are useless.
FICO aside, what's good for the 1,000 other types?
This, my friend, is where it's going to get a bit tricky, because the definition of "good" will vary since every score uses different formulas and often different number ranges.
Here's a rundown on some of the most common types:
This is second most popular but it's a distant second to FICO. Some estimates peg their marketshare among lenders at only 10%. It was launched in 2006 and its development was a joint effort of Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.
Its scale is quite different, running on a 501 to 990 range and every increment of a 100 equates with a letter grade. Starting at 501 to 600 which is an "F" grade.
A "C" is 701 to 800 and if considered that to be a good grade in school, then I guess you could label any number within that range as being good.
However if you're like most people, you would at least strive for a "B" right? For that you will need to land between 801 to 900.
Please note that lenders use the numbers, not the grades. The letters are just meant to be a guide for consumers so they can better understand their creditworthiness.
Obviously you can see why it would be bad to confuse a VantageScore with a FICO score since their scales are so different. A credit score of 800 on FICO would be excellent but for a VantageScore, that wouldn't be too great.
A very distant third place goes to the Experian PlusScore, which has a range of 330 to 830. This score is not used by lenders whatsoever.
It's used by many credit score offer websites and if you read the fine print, they say it's something for "educational purposes" only.
Translation? Other than using it for a ballpark estimate of your FICO, it's pretty much useless.
Experian does publicly say the median is 724. Even though that's quite similar to FICO's purported 723 median, that's about where the similarities end. The score distribution above and below the median is quite different. You can compare Experian's PLUS Score and FICO here.
So what's good and what's not? That's tough say, because from my experience (both personally and feedback I have heard) the results are often quite different than FICO.
But if I had to peg a number, I think it's safe to say anything within the 700 to 740 range is good.
Other Formulas
When you check your score online, there are at least a dozen others I can think of which are actively being used.
It's impossible to determine the worthiness of some types because they reveal almost no information about them. For example, FreeScore.com uses their own formula and to the best of my knowledge, they haven't released much information about it.
There are websites like Credit Karma, Credit Sesame, and Quizzle which offer free scores that also use proprietary models. I recommend these if you want to estimate what your FICO would be. And unlike the sites which try and sell you scores, these 3 are upfront and honest about the type of score you are getting. Also, some credit cards like Discover are starting to provide your credit score for free on your billing statement each month when you get their card.
Whatever you do, just don't pay money for a non-FICO score. If you're going to pay money, then my belief is it should be a true FICO.
How I got a GREAT score super quick
As you see from the chart above, less than 13% of Americans have a FICO of 800 and above. It's very possible to start from scratch and get your credit score up into the high 700′s or low 800′s even in your 20′s if you do everything right and don't color outside the lines.
One strategy is to responsibly utilize student and auto loans, paying them down on schedule. Beyond that this strategy has been been proven effective:
- Have at least 8 open credit card accounts
No, I'm not advising you use them to carry debt. In fact I encourage the opposite; pay off your cards in full each month! The key here is that simply by having a large number of accounts, your credit history becomes more robust. Several of these credit accounts can be private label store cards, which can be easier to open when first starting out vs. a major credit card. - Make sure each account gets used at least once per year
Obviously using them all at once would be a nightmare. But it's quite easy to keep track of 1-3 cards at a time. What I would recommend is every time the season changes, change which cards you use. That way all of them will be active accounts. - Don't cancel a card (usually)
As long as a given card isn't charging an annual fee, there's no reason to cancel it. Keep it open because as it ages, that will help boost your average account age.
If you need more credit card accounts, it is strongly recommended that you stick with those that have no annual fee and have accounts with a variety of different issuers. As of January 2014, here are 3 strong favorite options:

Apple iWatch, iPhone 5S could come this autumn
July 1, 2013 - 01:46 pm
Coming soon, perhaps, to a wrist near you - the iWatch.
According to Bloomberg, Apple registered June 3 for the trademark to the term "iWatch" with a Japanese patent office, possibly paving the way for the Cupertino, Calif.-based company to roll out a long-rumored watch to its suite of products.
The possible offering comes in addition to a rumored reboot of the the iPhone 5, which ABC says could offer a faster processor. The newest iPhone could be introduced this September, the International Business Times says.
Apple rolled out the iPhone 5 last Sept. 21.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to changing a players position?
As opposed to just placing him in that position on the depth chart?
apparently changing positions can affect some ratings for some players (like rebounding)... or so I've read
This year I decided I wanted to change it up and knowing I wanted to play for the Hornets I made a PG so that I wouldn't have to compete with Eric Gordon for minutes and could play next to him. Every other year I make a All Around or 3 point specialist SG. This year I made a 3 Point specialist PG. I'm loving My Player more than last year tho. I like that points are tougher to get and all the things they added to it.
Going to get started on with My Team mode tonight which looks awesome too !
I am curious to see how Funderburke's position change will affect him. He wasn't much of a rebounder anyway, but his inside game/defense as my 3rd SF wouldn't be a bad thing.
How late were you up playing 2k last night? lol I was on Madden til 2am :| I'm a waste product today lol
MyTeam is the one thats like Ultimate Team in Madden or Fifa right? You kinda build up a team by buying players
Well lineup is finally up, mid term has been taken... 2k13 time!!!! :happy2::victory::2thumb2::cool::getjiggy::1pconfe tt:bball::ipartytm::jump::gbounce::teamflip:
Good thing I got a few hours to kill, PS3
So last night at the hotel I'm at, I was at the bar/restaurant and one of the waiters/bartenders knows me cuz I go down there for food all the time. Well I hadn't been down there for a drink in a while, and he was like "yo dude whats up? Where you been?" and i was like "ahhhhh I brought Madden 13 with me, so i usually grab my food to go haha" he's like wait Xbox or PS3? and I was like Xbox...
So I wrote my gamertag down on a napkin and gave it to him. In hindsight, I feel like I also should've written "No Homo" on there too. :|
Prep, you already have me. Cajunirl
Sent one to both of y'all. New account
I don't have madden or 2k yet:crytear:
To anyone who has madden and 2k. Which game would you go buy today if you could only get one?
I am starting to entertain offers for Allen Iverson if anyone is interested.
I play 2K 8 months of the year.
That too^^^
Yeah, I like NBA games, pretty fun. I like Madden too. That'd be a tough choice to make... although this year's Madden was pretty awesome.

He's gotten roughed up to the tune of 20 ER in 20.2 IP his last four starts, to go along with 19 walks in that span. And two of those games were against the Cubs and Astros. Anyone trust this guy on the road tonight against the reds?
hey man ive got him on my team also. im gonna sit him until he starts pitching like he did in the first half. i know that for me, i cant afford to have another start like he's been having.

College Capstone Project Doubles as Community Rejuvination
Submitted: 11/15/2012
Play Video
- A partnership between a Northwoods community and a Madison student should mean a new look for Wabeno.
"There's just a lot of good things that can be sort of capitalized on," says UW-Madison senior Emily Groh.
Groh wants to capitalize on her learning as a landscape architecture major.
For her capstone project, she's working on community design and landscaping in Wabeno.
"She came into town and she looked around and she met with us and asked us for ideas," says Wabeno Town Chair Ed Piontek.
It's just one of many visits - and meetings with town leaders - Groh will have in trying to liven things up in Wabeno.
"One of the things that really stands out to me is how passionate people are about Wabeno. People love the town, which I think is great," says Groh.
Decades ago, Wabeno was a fairly vibrant community.
But then industry left and the population started declining.
Wabeno doesn't even have a food store any more.
Those are some of the things this project is hoping to start to change.
"The reason it's important is we have a very large population of retired people, and traveling is kind of getting difficult for them. We're hoping to get something, even a small grocery store in town, to fill their basic needs," Piontek says.
"That's one of the aspects of the project as well - trying to look at fighting for a grocery store and also maybe a potential clinic," says Groh.
Fighting for a Northwoods community, and gaining a college degree as well.

Magician teaches tricks to children at Woodson Art Museum
Submitted: 03/09/2014
Play Video
- Most magicians wow us with their tricks, but Magician Lou Lepore does more.
He teaches his audiences how to do some of the tricks he performs. He spent the last week as magician-in-residence at the Woodson Art Museum in Wausau putting on magic shows and hosting workshops.
It was part of the museum's latest exhibit on Mystery, Magic and Mayhem.
Students from local schools visited him during his six-day residency as in-house magician.
"We had schools come in, and depending on the size of the kids, if it was about 20 or under we would do a class, an actual workshop with them and teach them magic," says Lepore. "You would teach them maybe a half a dozen tricks that they can use with friends and family and things like that. If it was more than 20 we did a show."
Lepore specializes in sleight of hand using items like cards or coins. He also dabbles in cabaret.
Lepore has been doing magic for more than 40 years, but this was his first time as an in-house magician.
"They said can you do an artist-in-residency, and I said I have no idea what that is, what do I do?" says Lepore. "They said you're gong to show your art form, being magic, and you're going to teach kids classes and do demonstrations and workshops. I said oh yeah, I've done that for fairs, festivals so I can do all that for you."
Two more magicians will perform at the museum through April.

What does the expulsion of UNHCR workers mean for those in Darfur?
Submitted by admin on Thu, 15/08/2013 - 3:38pmLast week, on August 6th, the Sudanese government took yet another step to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching those who need it by expelling 20 humanitarian workers employed by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). With only 37 UNHCR employees working in Darfur at the time, this expulsion has scaled down UNHCR operations in terms of workers by over 50%. This has specifically affected North Darfur since all of the workers who were based in the capital, El Fasher, have been forced out of the country.

Watch Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets
The murdered narrator takes the viewer on a journey of what their life looked like before it was savagely taken away. While the victim provides a narrative of their life, picture montages of the decedent and video of their hometown set the stage. The photos and footage give an in depth account of the individual's lifestyle.
Family members and friends of the victim appear throughout the 20-minute show to give their insights to the events prior, during and post the murder. Loved ones give heartfelt descriptions to explain their relationships with the victim and provide stories that illustrate the deceased's personality. While this occurs, the narrator shares his or her own comments regarding loved ones.
Actors portray the events leading up to the murder with commentary provided by detectives, relatives and friends. The narrator, who has the most details of the events, provides a bird's eye view to how the murder unfolded. Detectives and police officers involved in the case deliver a run down of how the victim was found and take the viewer back to the crime scene. As the details of the story are disclosed, the detectives offer a background on the potential suspects.
The detectives gather evidence and take the watcher on a journey depicting how the investigation came to focus on particular individuals as suspects. The narrator adds key material about his or her associations with the potential killers. As the show reaches its climax, a murderer and their motive are revealed. This unique show gives a voice to victims who can no longer speak for themselves and can be seen on the ID Discovery Channel.

The basic objective of the coordination efforts of The Venus Geologic Mapping Program is to
ensure that the geologic maps have reasonable consistency (such as in usage of map-unit names
and map symbols) and agreement, which will provide a useful basis for geologic interpretation.
Mappers should be guided not only by fundamental geologic principles, but also by many
precedents and approaches (some more applicable to Venus than others) that have been
established through previous planetary mapping programs and various early mapping studies of
Venus. (See Recommended Reading; in particular, the book chapter by Wilhelms (1990) should
be regarded as essential reading.) In addition, mappers will face the new challenges of the
distinct geologic character of Venus, broadly and in detail, and of the nature of the radar datasets.
Mappers should follow guidelines of the USGS; even though adherence to basic mapping
principles is a must, mappers have considerable latitude in their application and are encouraged
to investigate new approaches that may result in a more instructive and useful geologic map. For
example, structurally complex terrains generally cannot be mapped as conventional rock
(material) units; inclusion of terrain units may necessitate altering their depiction on correlation
charts and cross sections. Also, additional small-scale maps depicting major tectonic structures or
surficial features may be necessary to depict the geology of complex regions clearly and
Defining map unitsRationale and Methods
Some mappers may find that a different approach to defining map units is more suitable for their Venusian quadrangle. In particular, tectonic units should be considered. Until now, planetary maps have generally excluded tectonic mapping as has been practiced for the Earth. Tectonic mapping has been varied and highly subjective because of changes in paradigms used to interpret and understand terrestrial tectonics. Actually, mapping styles once used for the terrestrial continents--styles that predated our understanding of plate tectonics--appear most applicable to Venus, because they distinguished rocks and terrains associated with foldbelts and cratons (see King, 1969a, b; King and Edmonston, 1972). King promoted a relatively conservative style (although much of the terminology of his day is losing favor among geologists). He stated (1969b, p. 87) that a tectonic map "portrays the architecture of the upper part of the earth's crust, or the features produced by deformation and other earth forces, and represents them by means of symbols, patterns, and colors." Recently, because plate tectonics has gained wide acceptance because it explains much of terrestrial tectonics, the mapping of tectonostratigraphic terranes or elements has become popular (for example, see volume edited by Howell, 1985). Such units are understood to be fault bounded and defined according to stratigraphy, tectonic disruption, or metamorphic overprint. Small-scale mapping of these units caters to accretionary plate tectonics (see Howell, 1985, map insert; Dickinson and others, 1986).
Units should be mappable on Magellan SAR backscatter image mosaics, which form the primary dataset that permits identification of morphology and structure. Unit descriptions should be augmented by radar characteristics such as radar "brightness," backscatter coefficients, emissivities, reflectivities, rms slopes, and topography from altimetry (for example, see Arvidson and others, 1992, fig. 7 and table 1; Moore and others, 1992, table 3). However, mappers should avoid defining units solely by such characteristics, which may be related to weathering or deposition of thin eolian or impact material and have little or nothing to do with the emplacement or structural modification of the affected map unit (Arvidson and others, 1992; Greeley and others, 1992). Also, the nonbackscatter radar data seldom clearly define mappable areas because of their common variation with respect to surficial rock properties and relatively low resolution. Where stereopairs are available, stereoscopy adds the important dimension of local relief for characterization of geologic units at a scale that is not possible with Magellan altimetry or synthetic stereopairs; stereoscopy enhances geologic mapping and interpretation to a degree that cannot be overestimated.
Units may have distinct contacts, perhaps expressed topographically or by cross-cutting and
overlap relations. Where contacts are indistinct, mappers may make them long-dashed or queried
(which signifies, respectively, gradation or uncertainty). Alternatively, mappers may redefine the
observational basis that distinguishes the units. As a last resort, units can be lumped.
Correlating map units
On Venus, relatively late resurfacing and a thick atmosphere have resulted in crater densities that are too low for detailed stratigraphic work; thus far, only 921 impact craters have been identified on about 98 percent of the surface. Over broad areas of Venus, crater densities are spatially random (Schaber and others, 1992), although lower than average densities of some areas are interpreted to be related to extensive volcanic resurfacing and tectonism (Phillips and others, 1992).
The global chronology of Venus will be determined through the collective efforts of the geologic
mappers, who will establish the local geologic history within their individual map areas. Time
markers may include widespread geologic and geomorphologic units, structures, and surficial
signatures related to impact events or weathering (Izenberg, 1992; Tanaka and Schaber, 1992).
Mapping approach
Detailed mapping is best started where units and contacts are most clearly mappable. Commonly the location is determined by the availability of the highest resolution data. Thus, where FMIDRs are available, they can be individually used for mapping in greater detail than can be shown on the quadrangle, which will provide the mapper with a more complete understanding of the local geology. Another approach is to map younger units first--these units are generally better exposed, and their relative age relations are easily portrayed. A working set of map units and symbols is generated and then modified as mapping progresses. Where key features (such as small volcanoes) are too small to map as units, they may be portrayed as map symbols. Ultimately, the level of detail shown on the maps will be dictated by scale and perhaps ancillary data such as stereopairs and FMIDRs.
Other datasets can be incorporated in the mapping as appropriate, including SAR backscatter cross section, topography, emissivity, reflectivity, and rms slope. However, radar characteristics in most cases constitute a poor basis for unit definition because of their dependence on surficial properties. Some units may even be difficult to map consistently on the basis of SAR backscatter, because backscatter intensity varies according to incidence angle and, in some cases, look direction. If mapping of surficial characteristics is desired, it should be regarded as secondary in importance to mapping of geologic materials and structure and shown in a separate map figure.
As in traditional field mapping, note-taking is vital in documenting the mapping procedures and approach used and in highlighting key geologic observations and relations. Such observations include morphologic characteristics, overlap and cross-cutting relations, and evidence for style and sense of structural deformations. A notebook dedicated solely to the map is very valuable; in it, extended notes can be located by annotations, perhaps on a map overlay. Such documentation contributes to the production of a thorough, well-balanced, consistent, and insightful interpretation of the geology of the map area.
After an initial set of associations and age relations among map units has been derived, a correlation chart consisting of boxes for each map unit can be developed. Map units generally lend themselves to grouping according to terrain type or geologic or geographic associations. Hierarchic names include many possibilities that reflect what the units have in common, such as terrain type (for example, plains, plateaus, mountain belts, shields, and canyons), perhaps subdivided according to local individual geographic features. When the association is based on a geographic feature, the name of the feature coupled with descriptive terms such as "assemblage" or "sequence" will form the hierarchic name. Relative ages of the map units are represented on the correlation chart by vertical position. Thus units that are clearly younger should be shown above older units; those that overlap in age will have boxes that overlap vertically. Because some units developed over a considerable timespan, their boxes may be much longer than those of other units. For a poorly defined age limit, a sawtooth box edge should be used. Boxes for closely related units share a box edge that is horizontal or vertical as appropriate; where their ages overlap, they may share a diagonal box edge. (See examples of planetary geologic maps cited below.) Where geologic and structural relations are complex, informal cross sections can be attempted as tests of possible scenarios of development. Preliminary correlation charts and cross sections are excellent tools to identify areas and relations that require more careful examination.
Coloring the preliminary map as parts are completed is the best way to identify incomplete contacts, incorrect symbols, and inconsistencies in mapping style. Other special maps, perhaps of selected areas at larger or smaller scales, may be used to show tectonic structures or surficial materials and features. Such maps not only highlight specific aspects of the geology, but they also may reduce the clutter on the primary geologic map. In a few instances, particularly in areas of high relief, a schematic cross section can be added to interpret structure; these sections generally have a vertical exaggeration, which is stated.
When the mapping is complete, the description of map units (DOMU) and text can be written.
The DOMU describes the map units shown on the correlation chart according to groupings in the
hierarchy, from youngest to oldest (in reverse chronologic order--opposite the oldest-to-youngest order used in the text's discussion of stratigraphy). Descriptions and interpretations of
units are always clearly separated. The description should include the unit's physical
characteristics, occurrence, and relations with other units. The interpretation may include the
inferred rock type and mode of origin of the unit; multiple interpretations may be included. Map
symbols are explained after the DOMU. The map text should include an introduction that
describes the basic geologic setting and physiography of the map area, relevant previous work,
objectives of the mapping, and constraints of image resolution that may have affected it. The
body of the text should reconstruct in detail the geologic history (from oldest unit to youngest) on
the basis of map relations and interpretations. However, the discussion should not include
directed, refined geologic analyses typical of those found in research articles.
Types of Mapped Units and Features
Prior to Magellan, small-scale (1:15,000,000) geomorphologic mapping of the northern quarter
of Venus was based on kilometer-resolution radar mosaics imaged by the Venera 15 and 16
SARs (Sukhanov and others, 1989; Schaber, 1990; Schaber and Kozak, 1990). At that resolution,
many important geologic (especially stratigraphic) relations were not discernible. However, the
higher resolution Magellan data permit more detailed and "classic" stratigraphic and structural
mapping and interpretation, as can be seen from examples in recent journal articles. These
various examples are useful in visualizing how map units can be defined and how contacts and
various structures can be mapped. (Keep in mind that the published examples use various names
and conventions that may or may not be appropriate for VMAP). This section is divided into
discussions of the major types of terrains and structures to be mapped on Venus.
Plains materials Lava flows and volcanoes Structural terrains and features
Significant individual features can be mapped by symbols (see Appendix B). Many mappable Venusian features are tectonic structures; however, topographic features (ridges, troughs, depressions, and scarps) and erosional features (channels) also are common. Mapping of faults or folds requires some supporting evidence for the deformation (such as offset surfaces). If such evidence is absent, a dashed or queried symbol, a less interpretative structural feature (for example, fracture instead of fault or graben), or a topographic feature (ridge instead of fold) can be mapped instead. Regional structures may be distinguished from local structures on the map by a heavier line weight.
Many geologic mappers will find it advantageous to represent both detailed structure and large
tectonic features on a separate base at a similar or smaller scale. For example, coronae and
coronalike features differ greatly in structural detail (Stofan and others, 1992, figs. 2-5, 13).
Even so, detailed structural mapping may be tedious (Head and others, 1991, fig. 7D; Squyres
and others, 1992a, fig. 4c). Instead, representative features may be mapped and perhaps
summarized by rose diagrams where appropriate (Head and others, 1992, figs. 5-8; Senske and
others, 1992, figs. 9-12, 16, 17, 20; Squyres and others, 1992a, fig. 8d; 1992b, figs. 5 and 7).
Simplified, smaller scale tectonic maps may also be drawn (see Senske and others, 1992, figs. 4,
19, 21). (All graphs and line work will be redrawn by the USGS Office of Scientific Publications,
but mappers should follow guidelines in Hansen, 1991.)
Impact craters Unit names, letter symbols, and colors
Mapping Conventions
As in terrestrial mapping, the unit-letter symbol is an abbreviation of the unit name. Because a formal stratigraphic system has not yet been established for Venus, no capital letter representing a time-stratigraphic system will be included. The symbol should have as few characters as possible. Avoid ambiguous usage (for example, use p for plains and pl for plateau). The letters should be arranged such that the basic formational name is followed by modifiers for members and submembers (for example, "lower ridged plains material of the Artemis assemblage" would be "unit aprl"). Some mappers identify a sequence of unit members by subscripts, the stratigraphically lowest unit being designated 1. (Thus member 1 of the example given above would be "unit aprl1.") In the map text, a unit's name is always used, with or without its letter symbol; the symbol never stands alone. A symbol may be queried on the map (for example, "aprl?") if the unit assignment is in doubt; the reason for the doubt should be given in the DOMU.
The Venus Geologic Map Series will follow a consistent color scheme to the extent possible.
Colors on the published maps are limited by the USGS color palette and will be selected by the
map coordinator. However, authors should adopt the following general guidelines on their
author-colored ("mill") copies--browns for older or heavily deformed terrains and units, purples
for less heavily deformed terrains, greens and blues for plains units, reds and oranges for
volcanic materials, yellows for craters, and grays for other materials. In addition, stippled
overlays can show surficial units, broad tectonic zones, etc., that are superposed on the other map
units. Some variation from this scheme is occasionally warranted where many subdivisions of
units are made and a wide selection of color shades is not available. In general, maps are more
visually pleasing and easier to read if the areally large map units are represented by light shades
(pastels) and the small, patchy units are darker or more intense. Also, the colors of adjacent units
should display sufficient visual contrast so that they do not become confused. Areas of missing
data will be left uncolored.
Line and point symbols
Although structural symbols are desirable and informative, their application in some cases may
be highly conjectural and uncertain. Thus fault symbols should be avoided except where offset is
evident or probable. Normal faults, grabens, and some strike-slip faults may be acceptable.
However, suspected thrust-fault scarps and folds should generally be mapped as queried, dashed,
or as topographic symbols (scarps and ridges); their structural interpretation can be discussed in
the text or shown in cross sections.

Outdoor swimming Pool
Favorite thing: There is a large outdoor public swimming pool (with three slides, diving, toddlers pool, wave machine etc) right on the seafront in Dieppe. It is cheap to enter and has two pools, larger/smaller...
Dear friends and the Small Person amused themselves for quite some time in there, (although a little too cold for the Amapola).
I amused myself with a good book while they were swimming, although I was somewhat distracted by
a : An army of minature spiders that kept crawling everywhere (and i mean, everywhere).
b : A school of French male divers peeling off wetsuits directly in front of me, after practising their diving in the large pool (i'm sorry, but they were right in front of me, impossible not to notice)!
Facilities also include : a café that served chips, a shop that sold inflatables, an ice-cream stand, a sandpit and a skating park.
Perfect for families.- Family Travel
Best Time to Go
Favorite thing: Dieppe is probably best enjoyed between the months of May and October when the weather is pleasant and more reliable. The busiest time tends to be the first two weeks of August, when many French are on holiday; the end of August can also be a very busy time on the roads with many Parisians heading home after their summer holidays.
Flooding is possible
Favorite thing: the flooding is real in many parts of France and not much discussed, but it is a problem. We coming from areas that were prone to flooding always keep an eye on where to buy property here.
This is one of our favorite places in Dieppe, Haute Normandie, and as you can see from the recent flooding there it was awful.
the flooding is by the cafe des tribuneaux on a very touristic road Place Puits Salé leading to the church of Saint Jacques. Its not even really near the beach but the water is the water.
Fondest memory: walking this area is always magical and so sad to see under water. Look forward to see if after the water subsides.- Historical Travel
- Beaches
- Architecture
Finding some sand in Dieppe.
Favorite thing: There are some stetches of sand, on the west side of the beach (if you are facing the sea), near the Chateaux.
- Beaches
- Family Travel
- Budget Travel
Favorite thing: It's a nice beach surrounded by white cliffs typical of normandy coast.
Fondest memory: I like to go there on sunday morning to eat something on the beach and see this beautiful view when the weather is nice. -

Localized Pheochromocytoma
Follow-Up Evaluation
Long-term follow-up is essential for all patients with pheochromocytoma or extra-adrenal paraganglioma, even if initial pathology demonstrates no findings that are concerning for malignancy. After resection of a solitary sporadic pheochromocytoma, patients should undergo baseline postoperative biochemical testing followed by annual lifelong biochemical testing. Patients who have undergone resection of a non-catecholamine-producing tumor should initially undergo annual imaging with computed tomography imaging or magnetic resonance imaging and periodic imaging with radiolabeled metaiodobenzylguanidine to monitor for recurrence or metastasis. Patients who have undergone resection of a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma in the setting of a hereditary syndrome require lifelong annual biochemical screening in addition to routine screening for other component tumors of their specific syndrome.[6]
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized benign pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

Ranking the Rotations: Projected 2011 Starting Rotations Based on 2010 Statistics (Part One)
The biggest topic of discussion for much of the holiday season has been: Who has the best starting rotation in the majors going into 2011? The question is one that doesn't have a single answer, or at least doesn't have one single correct answer. ESPN's Buster Olney took a stab at answering the question in a pair of columns posted in the few days leading up to Christmas. He first provided a look at his "humble answer" with a Top 11 (due to ties) that he posted on the 22nd. Two days later he followed up with a Top 10 based on the votes of 16 talent evaluators across the game. This group was assembled of General Managers, Assistant General Managers, Scouts, and one "particularly thoughtful" (yet unnamed) player.
Remarkably the two lists contained the same ten organizations, albeit in different orders. Considering our last impression from this past season and the biggest individual story of this winter's offseason, the two names at the top of each list ended up being Philadelphia and San Francisco. The part that seemed to surprise Olney was how Philadelphia was unanimously selected first on all 17 (if we include his own) ballots. The part that surprised me most was how neither of the two Olney posts make a significant mention of what these opinions were based upon. There is little to refute. So, I thought it would be worthwhile to take a look at some numbers and see what we could find out.
Prior to taking on this task, it was clear we were going to need some data to base any conclusions from. As such, I've had to determine a number of things which I feel should be addressed before I get too far into answering the question at hand. First and foremost, in what context are we looking for the best starting rotation? Between current 40-man roster alignments, rotation orders at the end of the 2010 season, reports we've seen throughout this offseason, and overall 2010 statistics I had to project who I think could be filling the projected rotations for each of the 30 teams. With multiple free agents still remaining available on the market, there obviously could be some change between these projections and the rotations we see on Opening Day 2011. My projected rotations are essentially as of January 1st.
The next step I took was to assemble each player's statistics from the 2010 season. For this, I stuck to season totals at the Major League level only. For instance, take a player like Kyle Drabek of the Toronto Blue Jays. Drabek made 3 starts in September but otherwise spent the entire season in the minor leagues. He is expected, however, to pitch out of the Blue Jays' starting rotation at the start of the 2011 season. The statistics from those 3 September starts was used in calculating the performance of Toronto's rotation but his minor league totals were not. However, take a player such as Edwin Jackson of the Chicago White Sox. Jackson split last season between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago. The statistics from all of his appearances – regardless of league – were combined together in calculating the performance of Chicago's rotation going into 2011.
In the interest of transparency, below are the 30 starting rotations that I chose to use for this. They are as follows:
A few notes on the decisions above:
- Boston: We could see Tim Wakefield earn some time in the rotation, especially if there is an injury to one of the first five. However, it does seem likely that Matsuzaka will at the least be given the first chance to remain in the rotation. There has to be hope that he shows a big step forward this season if the team is ever going to be able to justify the investment that they made in him.
- Chicago (AL): I am aware that Peavy will likely miss the start to the regular season. However, I have not seen much showing with any certainty who will replace him in the rotation to start the season or exactly how long he will be out for. As such, I am sticking to the expectation that he will return within the season's first month and thus be eligible for this list.
- Detroit: Coke spent the entire 2010 season working out of the bullpen aside from a single September start. It is expected that he will convert back to the rotation in 2011. Should he falter and move back to the bullpen, Andy Oliver would likely be first in line to replace him. Also, despite his inconsistent track record I'm still giving the nod on the 5th spot in their rotation to Galarraga until proven otherwise.
- Kansas City: After the moves they have made this offseason (trading Greinke, non-tendering Brian Bannister) there have been few additions to the pitching staff. Based on current roster composition and available internal options, Duffy seems like the best choice to fill out the rotation at this point. There are few other options barring another signing before the 2011 season.
- Philadelphia: As of today, Joe Blanton is still on the Philadelphia's active roster and the most likely to fill the 5th spot in their rotation. However, I strongly believe that Blanton will be dealt prior to the start of the 2011 season. Thus, I've replaced him in the rotation with Kendrick for my projections.
- Pittsburgh: Lincoln and Ohlendorf were selected out of a large pool here. The Pirates have a fair amount of depth here which increases their options significantly. They should be one team that is certain to go through Spring Training with a good competition going for their starting rotation. Kevin Hart, Jeff Karstens, Daniel McCutchen, Charlie Morton, and Scott Olsen could all be potential options as well.
- Tampa Bay: The Rays also have options here. However, it seems increasingly more likely that Jeremy Hellickson will begin the season in the minor leagues barring a trade between now and Opening Day. There had been some talk of using him in the rotation and bumping Niemann to the bullpen but I get the impression that is not the organization's preferred route for either player's development.
- Texas: The team has signed Brandon Webb, however I did not include him here with the team's projected rotation. Also, despite talk of moving Neftali Feliz to the rotation there does not appear to be evidence suggesting the team is planning on making such a move.
In Part Two, I will take a closer look at how these projected starting rotations actually match up with one another based on the team's ranking (out of 30) in a number of statistical categories. The follow-up will be posted later this afternoon. Sometimes these posts are just too long a read to warrant posting them as one singular item.

The Mireles family is very kind and friendly. Chela and Betty are helpful and respond prompty to questions and concerns to make sure you are happy and comfortable in their house. The house is very conveniently located, about a fifteen to twenty minute walk from the historic center. Tasty, affordable local eateries all around. The famous hot dogs of "los chinos" is just a block away, for anyone craving a late night bite. The house is well-equipped tough generally old and worn; things need to be used with care. Lovely, peaceful courtyard. Overall a nice place to stay if you are there alone or with one or two more people. When the house is full as it can be during much of the academic year with exchange students, it tends to be rather loud and feels a bit crowded. Also, women traveling alone should keep in mind that this neighborhood and the city center in general tend to empty out after dark. Overall, however, I had a very pleasant stay and would rerturn with pleasure. Certainly value for my money.
Excelente, he disfrutado Guadalajara de lo mejor, la casa de Nadia se encuentra en un lugar muy centrico y seguro, se puede caminar a cualquier parte del centro muy seguro y/o tomar bus o metro a donde sea. La casa esta muy limpia y comoda, y la mama de Nadia la Sra Bety es una persona increible muy buena persona. Tiene internet rapido, lavadora, y todo lo que uno puede necesitar de una casa completa. Recomiendo esta casa para quien quiera quedarse en un lugar centrico y seguro.
Excellent house, excellent location, very safe to walk any where in downtown, the house is very clean and Nadia's mom is a great person, they have fast internet, hot water all times, washing machine, and all what you need from a full house.
I recommended this house for any body that wants to stay in a centric safe place.

Welfare State
Despite a rapid increase in wealth and living standards over the past few decades, more Australians are dependent on the public purse than ever before. Today, almost one in six working age Australians relies on welfare for all or part of their income. A growing welfare state means an ever higher tax take is needed, bringing more taxpayers in to the welfare system. How can government promote individual responsibility and self-reliance, while still providing a safety net? How can patterns of joblessness and dependency be broken?

Date of the Event: 08.10.2009Melton and Pace with 1-2 Sweep
Event: Carolina Nationals
Date: Aug 8-9, 2009
Race Reporter: Brandon Melton
Over the weekend of August 7-9 JConcepts drivers Brandon Melton, Chris Pace, Barry Pettit, and Greg Smith attended the Carolina Nationals at Charlotte Motorsports Park, previously The Farm 2. The track still remains as the same configuration from the Worlds track, however it's ran in reverse with many changes to jumps and new additions. The new direction and facelift was a refreshing treat and many drivers commented on the track being very fun but challenging to drive. The stories of the week were the heat (near 100 degree temps all weekend) and a local charity on site called Hometown Heros. A local Texas Roadhouse chain restaurant came onsite and was grilling burgers, ribs, and steaks, and all sales from food went to the local charity who provides for local terminally ill kids.
The Pro Buggy and Truggy classes were very competitive with fast drivers from OH, NC, SC, GA, TN, and FL coming to battle it out. Nearly every manufacturer had team drivers there and the racing was as hot as the temperature. The race format used 5 qualifiers and qual points to grid the mains. In Pro Buggy, Brandon Melton grabbed the TQ after 5 rounds of ultra close racing. Brandon Melton and Barry Pettit each TQ'ed 2 rounds, but the points from other rounds added up in Melton's favor for the overall TQ. Chris Pace TQ'ed one round giving JConcepts the top spot for all 5 rounds of qualifying. The mains were on Sunday and the buggy main ended up in the heat of the day right around 3pm.
The buggy main was fairly close between the top 3 racers of Melton, Pettit, and X-Ray's Ryan Lopez for the first 30 minutes of the race. Melton fell back to third after a bobble through the moguls, but would settle in and match the pace of Pettit and Lopez and hope for a mistake or tire wear from the front two runners. Melton and Pace chose tires that would easliy go the entire length of the race, using JConcepts tires in yellow compound. At about the 25 minute mark, it became a race of attrition as the heat started to play havoc on engines.
Lopez would be the first to retire with engine troubles and then about 10 minutes later, Pettit would experience a flame out, causing him to go 2 laps down on the large track. At this point, Melton and Pace relied on the dependability of the RC8B and Reedy VR121 and JConcepts tires to cruise in for the 1-2 sweep with Melton taking the win and Pace 2nd. Pettit would hold on to maintain 4th place after his flame out.
The truggy main was a great race to watch (unfortunatly Melton was limited to runing just buggy for the weekend). After a slow start in rd. 1, Pace turned it up a notch in the following rounds to take TQ honors in truggy. Pace, Pettit, and Greg Smith each TQ'ed qualifying rounds showing the speed of JConcepts tires. For the first 30 minutes of the truggy race it was a three way battle between Pace, Pettit, and Travis Phillips. Greg Smith put in some fast laps early on, however a drivetrain problem from his truggy would cause him to exit early. Phillips was using a different fuel strategy that would have him pit at 9 minutes to cut out one stop during the 45 minute race. Pace was able to run strong enough to keep in touch with Phillips during the pit cycles, however bad luck with a backmarker would keep him upside down for 15 seconds waiting for a track marshall, all but killing his chances for the win. This would set up the race for an unbelievable finish between Pettit and Phillips. Pettit was about four seconds behind Phillips on the last lap. As Phillips crossed the line for the last time, his truck ran out of fuel on the front stretch, all heads turned to locate Pettit, he would miss the loop and be called as "done" crossing the loop about 1 second too late!! After misfortune, Pace would run strong to finish with a respectable 3rd place and TQ.
It was great to see a well run race for a great cause. This was the first year of what will be a great race in years to come. Thanks to the track crew for an awesome track in great shape. Info on the local charity and news coverage of the event can found at the link below

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The wit is all pictorial. The film meanders mindlessly from one image to the next, as does a comic book. It doesn't help that the title character remains such a wimp even when played by Michael Keaton.
Fresh: Director Tim Burton effectively echoes the visual style of the original Bob Kane comics while conjuring up a nightmarish world of his own.
Fresh: The idea of doing a dark, neurotic, highly stylized and highly claustrophobic superproduction is an audacious and appealing one, but director Tim Burton has only made it halfway there.
Fresh: An exhilarating mix of cartoon lore (though not nearly enough for rabid Batpurists), screen presence (this is pretty much the Jack and Mike Show), psychological murkiness (though it could have used even more) and demented Gothic goofiness.
Customer Reviews
Top of the genre
Arguably the best superhero film ever completed. Batmania still reigns to this day because of this phenomenon!
Great film...
Especially when it came out. There was nothing like it. Isn't the best Batman film but definitely is an important one. It showed us the real Batman for the first time.
Third act is a bit off with (Spoiler Alert) Alfred bringing Vicki into the Bat Cave?!
Jack Nicholson was incredible as Joker. I remember all the bad talk about Keaton as Batman...Keaton showed them. :)
A must-see for Any Batman Fan.
Love this movie
This is the first batman movie I've seen and I love it. Love Nicholson & Keaton. Love jokers long gun that shoots down the batwing. Hated that joker killed bruce's parents!!! Joe chill did, not joker!!! Best from the 90's bat movies

This is second part of two postings that touch upon the notion of an organization's IT personnel preparing for an audit versus having good practices in place. While the previous posting focused on the Windows environment (see Detecting Audit Prep versus Good Processes in Place - Part 1 ), this one will focus more on the Linux/UNIX side of things.
To somewhat mirror the previous blog entry, we'll look at when passwords were last changed, where some of the password controls may be, as well as take a look at when patching was last performed. One thing with UNIX/Linux though, one particular technical control may not be implemented exactly the same from flavor to flavor- that is, CentOS and openSUSE may do things one way, whereas Ubuntu does something a little differently, as will
