(Cameron Larkin is a freelance journalist and BPL contributor.)
Thankfully, the NBA is about to get on with what it does best. Playing ball.
Personally, I was getting sick and tired of the big names 'allowing' their agents to seek 'opportunities' in overseas leagues. Opportunities which were never going to eventuate I must add.
We can now look forward to a 48-game season commencing on Christmas Day with a triple-header getting the party started: Boston versus New York, followed by last season's NBA finals rematch - Dallas v Miami - before the league's MVP, Derrick Rose, and his Bulls take on Kobe Bryant's Lakers.
Although what stands before us is a shortened season, many questions yet to be answered make it extremely enticing.
Let me start with Dallas. The Mavericks are the reigning champions after taking out the 2011 finals series 4-2 against the star-studded Miami. Can they go back-to-back or are they a one hit wonder?
That leads me to the Heat. What did LeBron, Wade and Bosh discover from last year's finals performances? Miami went into the '11 finals series as heavy favourites but left only with criticism and question marks hanging over their heads. For the big three it is time to step up and step up big.
Miami needs to forget about winning four, five or even six rings. They must focus everything on one. One ring. If 'King' James is to be considered in the same breath as MJ, then he can't go missing when it counts in the upcoming season.
The old guys on the block are surely the Celtics and Lakers. For both teams it means another year and both teams are not getting any younger. Will the lockout play out as a positive for them?
The Lakers now have Mike Brown at the helm. The shortened season may impact the success of his game plan and style of play being effectively implemented, although the possible (and controversial) recruiting of Chris Paul can only help.
Chicago has the league's MVP in Rose. If the team is to be a real contender, then the Bulls staff and owners must surround Rose with championship talent. If they don't, then the best they will do is potentially winning the jersey-selling title and miss out on that cherished ring.
In the Northwest Division of the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder has two paths in front of them. Will they be the NBA's next San Antonio or Sacramento? The former tasted success; the latter didn't. The Thunder are young and highly promising with Durant and Westbrook leading the way, and they possess inside talent also with Serge Ibaka. Big watch.
In New York, will Stoudamire and the Knicks step up and be a serious contender or another just making the news and numbers?
Orlando and New Orleans receive mentions due to two players. Howard and CP3. Questions linger over Dwight Howard's future and whether he might even join forces with Paul at the Lakers. Kobe, CP3 and Howard in LA. Wow.
It is time to forget what happened before and during the lockout and focus on what lies ahead.
Let's play ball, gentlemen.

NY governor: Fuel shortage will continue for days
November 4, 2012 - 1:32 PM
NEW YORK (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says officials expect the fuel shortage that has led to long lines and short tempers to continue for days.
He said Sunday that authorities aren't "100 percent sure" when the shortage will end but that it's a short-term problem.
Cuomo says the fuel delivery and distribution problems from Superstorm Sandy are easing and that more gas is coming to the area and will be distributed.
He urges people to not use their cars if they don't have to and not to hoard fuel.

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
Modern Library, 1940 - Fiction - 430 pages
"The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" was published in the spring of 1940, and was immediately a literary sensation. Carson McCullers was only twenty-three years old, had lived in a small southern town for most of her life, and this was her first novel. But she had read widely in Dostoevsky, Gogol, Chekhov, Tolstoy, and Eugene O'Neill, and her knowledge and insight into her characters transcended her real experience.
Mick Kelly, the adolescent at the center of this strange and brooding novel, is very much the girl McCullers had been in Georgia -- passionately musical, and attracted to freaks and outcasts. Mick's spiritual kinship with John Singer, a deaf mute, and with other social misfits, provides a haunting look into the abyss encountered by human beings in their attempts at love.
Years later, McCullers's friend Tennessee Williams wrote that she "owned the heart and the deep understanding of it, but in addition she had that 'tongue of angels' that gave her power to sing of it, to make of it an anthem."

CORNING, N.Y. (Sept. 4, 2010) – The Erie Community College men's soccer team improved to 2-0 on the season with a 4-2 victory over Corning Community College (0-1) Saturday.
The last time ECC opened a season with back-to-back wins was in 2006, defeating Cayuga Community College, 4-1, and SUNY Canton, 3-0. The last the Kats have won two-straight matches was in 2008, beating Cayuga, 5-2, on Oct. 6 and Niagara County Community College, 2-0, on Oct. 9.
"I felt we played a very dominant, possession-controlled game," ECC head coach Bernie Feldmann said.
ECC freshman Pablo Ordonez gave the Kats a 1-0 lead before Corning tied the match.
The Kats gained momentum right before halftime when sophomore goalkeeper Craig Raines stopped a penalty shot and freshman Adan Mukumbira gave the Kats a 2-1 after sophomore Jon Sikorski dribbled down the sideline and found Mukumbira open in front of the net.
In the second half, Ordonez broke into the Corning offensive zone before passing to Mukumbira whose shot gave the Kats a 3-1 lead. Badr Mohammed then scored his first of the season, giving ECC a 4-1 lead with an unassisted tally.
The Kats return to action 5 p.m. Thursday against Genesee Community College at the ECC South Campus Field.

China remains committed to support Ethiopia's dev't activities: Premier Li Keqiang
Addis Ababa, 6 May 2014 (WIC) – Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang said that his country will continue assisting Ethiopia's massive development activities.
The visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang held discussion with Ethiopian President Dr Mulatu Teshome here today.

During his state visit to Ethiopia, Li Keqiang approved 3 billion US dollars loan for the Ethio-Djibouti railway project.
He also pledged to provide 475.6 million birr as grant and 475.6 million birr interest free loan to Ethiopia to finance development projects.
Ethiopian President Dr Mulatu Tosheme, who thanked Chinese premier for his promises, said that China is providing what Ethiopia needs to its booming economy.

College announces President's Scholarship recipients
Posted on: March 21
The Master's College has named the 10 recipients of its 2014 annual President's Scholarship, which is the largest scholarship the school offers.
President's Scholarship recipients must meet a rigorous set of criteria including a high school grade point average of 3.85 or higher, excellent standardized test scores (SAT I: 1400 combined Critical Reading and Math, ACT: 32) and demonstrated competence in service and leadership.
All applicants submit an extensive application, which includes a personal testimony and a pair of essays. This year's topics were, "How will a TMC education will help you meet your goals?" and "What does biblical leadership mean to you and how do you demonstrate it in your own life?"
Applicants traveled to campus in February for a special dinner and campus tour and to be interviews by college faculty and staff. The final selections are made by a panel that convenes in the weeks after the interviews.
The award, which amounts to $14,000 annually and is automatically renewed for four years as long as the student maintains a 3.5 GPA, is reserved for students who most exemplify the kind of spiritual leaders the school is committed to producing.
The 2014-2015 award winners were selected in March. They are:
Caroline Moore, Jessica Horning, Paige Jacobsen, Eugene DeNezza, John Lian Uy, David Ramos, Emily Gibb, Lucas Bailey, Samantha Dick and Paige Miller.
"These students represent not only excellence in academic achievement, but also a track record of leadership and service in their communities and in their churches," said TMC Director of Admissions John Melcon. "We're excited to be able to invest in a lifetime of leadership with four years of awarding these scholarships."
Melcon said the President's Scholarship is always competitive, and that this year was no exception. The selection committee met with more than 20 applicants.
"Selecting finalists is always a challenge for the selection committee," Melcon said. "This year we had many, many qualified applicants, as we do every year."
Students who didn't receive the President's Scholarship are all offered the school's highest academic award: the Distinguished Scholar Scholarship, which provides a renewable annual award of up to $11,000.
President's Scholarship recipients are expected to become pillars of the TMC community by being active on the school's Servant Leadership Staff (SLS), serving during the fall 2014 Fall Outreach Week, acting as hosts for future President's Scholarship candidates and by maintaining a strong academic record.
"These expectations, of course, are supplementary to the more foundational expectations placed upon all TMC students; namely, to pursue biblical fidelity, moral integrity, intellectual growth and lasting contribution to the Kingdom of God," the college wrote in a letter sent to 2014 President's Scholarship award winners.

VIDEO: Knockouts highlight 'Boxing at the Bob'
Wilmington's Omar Douglas and Philadelphia's Ray Robinson ended their bouts with impressive TKO's to highlight a hard-hitting card at the Bob Carpenter Center Friday.
Douglas used a flurry of punches to put last-minute opponent DeWayne Wisdom of Indianapolis in trouble, and eventually finished him off at 2:24 of the third of six scheduled rounds. "Super O" improved to 9-0 in his young career, with seven of the victories coming by knockout.
Newark's own "Jolt'N" Joey Tiberi found himself in a much tougher battle with Miguel Antonio Rodriguez of Philadelphia. Rodriguez entered the contest with a 1-5 record, but gave Tiberi everything he wanted before falling in a majority decision, with two of the judges scoring the fight 39-37 while the third had it a 38-38 draw.
The double main events lived up to the hype, especially the NABA Light Heavyweight contest between "Dangerous" Dorin Spivey and Ghana's "Unbelievable" Samuel Kortey Neequaye.
Neequaye and the 40-year-old Spivey went back and forth for ten grueling rounds, but while a 5th round knockdown didn't appear to stun Spivey, it helped give Neequaye enough points to earn a unanimous decision to improve to a perfect 21-0 in his career.
"The New" Ray Robinson went gunning for the vacant USBA Welterweight Title, and earned it with an impressive 8th round where he knocked down "Emporer Ray Narh" three times, with the referee calling a halt to the bout after the third knockdown at the 2:33 mark. Robinson's victory was the 16th of his career, with 7 coming via knockout. Narh dropped to 26-3, with all three losses coming in KO form.
Andrew "The Doo Man" Farmer from Virginia opened the card with split decision win over Puerto Rico's Hector Marengo, while Philadelphia's Taneal Goyco used a solid combination of punches to upset Frankoe "The Freight Train" Filippione"
The fights were the first to be held at the 5,000 seat Bob Carpenter Center, with an estimated crowd of 1,500 fight fans in attendance.

What Satisfied Customers Are SayingLight to be used to light entrance signBy Price from Piney Point,MD on 11/26/2014Light to be used for entrance sign light.Very Nice ProductBy Deborah from FORT WASHINGTON,PA on 11/12/2014I ordered this lampost in white. It's a blow mold plastic item that comes in one piece but looks very nice close up and from a distance. The mounting pole was a bit short and would not go below our frost line so we purchased white pvc piping and fit the mounting pole into the pvc pipe to mount below frost line. The mounting pole was just the right diameter for my post light which fit right over the pole. This item was perfect for the area I need to light.Very nice.By Sharon from HURRICANE,WV on 11/11/2014Very easy to install.Talk of the neighborhoodBy Gary from ABILENE,TX on 10/30/2014At first we were a little intimidated by getting it set up in the ground, but an 80 pound sack of Sacrete made it simple, only needing half of the bag. We live 9 miles from town in a country neighborhood, thus the streetlights are few and far between. This is our 2nd one; the 1st one is right outside the front of our house. Every night we marvel at how great; how romantic is looks. The neighbors have been checking it out and are interested in getting one; will kind of blend in the neighborhood. Our newest one is going in the side of our house that'll overlook our garden and outdoor kitchen area. Will probably get another one this Spring.Smart Solar Equinox Solar SpotlightBy Charles I from MADISON,TN on 10/26/2014I would have rated a five star, however while assembling both parts the top of the spotlight, that attaches to the solar panel became detached. I attempted to reattached and had to resort to securing both detached parts with glue in order to hold them in place. At that point I was able to attach the solar panel to the top of the solar spotlight, as I did not want to use the panel by attaching it to the separate stake provided, which was one of the two options. Otherwise, the light that is produced via the solar panel (after charging) seems to work fine.Show More Great Reviews
Efficient Ambiance
Hit the market in support of environmentally conscious living. LED solar garden lights are accessible and user-friendly. The majority of solar lights require little more assembly than battery installation. Simply place them in a choice sunny location and wait for sunset.
For the more discerning consumer, read about their solar functionality.
A small solar panel on the lamp collects light energy from the sun and uses it to charge an internal battery. A device called a photoresistor activates the battery when little or no light is detected. The battery powers an LED bulb to emit glowing light. When placed in direct sunlight, these lamps can provide eight to ten hours of light at night.
Now that you've got the low-down on their usability, discover the various styles of solar garden lights.
For a natural effect we suggest lights with a rugged, rock-like exterior. Elegant path lights are a classic choice for outdoor walkways or driveways. Hanging lanterns offer embellishment for trees, patios, and tabletops. Whatever your style, solar lights will keep your energy bill in check, as well as your environmental footprint.

The following general description is typical of the Specific FP-13 series fire pump package. Details will vary with application and installation arrangement.
The single stage, horizontal shaft centrifugal pump features a cast iron case and cast iron bearing support frame, both accurately machined with pilot hole mating surface for precise alignment of the shaft and pump impeller with the casing Bearings are of the grease lubricated, antifriction type. The bearings are completely isolated from the pump casing, thereby eliminating any possibility of damage to the bearings from the fluid being pumped.
A bronze, vacuum cast impeller, accurately machined and dynamically balanced, is secured to the shaft by means of a key and cap screw arrangement. The impeller is of closed design, resulting in highest efficiency. Bronze impeller wear rings are located in the pump suction opening, and are readily replace when necessary.
A special 303 stainless steel mechanical seal with carbon sealing surface is provided to seal the casing at the shaft penetration opening. The carbon seal is spring loaded and operates on a Ni-Resist surface. The shaft is protected against corrosion by a bronze shaft sleeve which completely isolates the shaft from the pumped liquid.
A totally enclosed, fan cooled motor drives the fire pump through a flexible coupling, which permits safe operation within a nominal misalignment range. The motor operates at 3550 RPM and has electrical characteristics of 3 phase, 60 Hertz, 240/480 volts. Other electrical characteristics are available, including 50 hertz. A coupling guard which fully encloses the shafts and coupling is provided for personnel protection.
The pump, motor and coupling guard are mounted on a heavy, rigid structural steel base designed to maintain alignment of the pump and motor, regardless of normal installation and piping loads on the package. The steel base is thoroughly sandblasted after fabrication, inorganic zinc coated, and painted with two coats of epoxy paint to prevent the possibility of corrosion in the offshore environment.

We held a planning meeting for bible school last night. Oh boy! I love bible school. That's because I'm usually in charge of decorating, and it's an opportunity for my glue gun and glitter fetish to rear its spastic head. I am a nut with a glue gun. And craft paper. And poster paints. Ooh, and colored duct tape. I once used 14 rolls of yellow duct tape to create traffic lanes on the floors of the church hallways and fellowship hall. I've built cities, boats, ancient villages and time machines. Last year I made a rock 'n roll café. Rock 'n roll…there was a fun theme. Don't worry. We're Methodists. We're okay with dancing and loud music. Heck, we'll even speak to you in the liquor store.
I follow the Donald Trump motto of "Go Big or Go Home", so I always get carried away. My goal is to drape the church in as much burlap, bubble wrap and cardboard as possible. My favorite dramatic touch is hanging big banners from the ceiling. I put them everywhere. The santucary looks like the Olympic village. By the time we're finished taping, painting and stitching next week we will have created a set that rivals Cecil B. DeMille's finest moments.
I guess all of this comes from the pressure to make bible school exciting and larger than life. Today's kids get bored so easily. It takes a lot to lure them in. When I was a kid, your parents made you go. The only theme was the Ten Commandments. You glued some macaroni on a plate, dropped pennies and nickels into a little plastic church and sang Kum-ba-ya every day. Your odds of getting a spanking for being a smart mouth were just as high there as they were at home. Snacks were Kool-Aid and vanilla creme cookies. The only variety was the flavor of the Kool-Aid. Now days it takes a slick marketing campaign and an edgy theme to get kids in the door. Church signs advertise the "Arctic Edge", "Avalanche Ranch" and "Solid Rock Café". Our theme this year is "Treasure Hunters". I haven't decided yet what to do with this pirate and archeologist inspired curriculum. I'm sure I'll eventually come up with something that involves glitter...and a few banners. If nothing else, I can always hang pictures of Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp and Harrison Ford. The kids won't be impressed, but it will give the mothers something to stare at all week while we're making Popsicle stick treasure chests.
In honor of National Coffee Day let's enjoy a few early autumn images! - It's time for me to enjoy my daily afternoon coffee. It also seems like the perfect time to post a few images I shot this past Thursday while up north o...

Missed yesterday's post? Get caught up now! How to Prevent a Picky Eater?
Last night I opted out of the gym and came home for a mini nap instead. I was literally falling asleep at work and so I knew I needed a power nap instead of a workout. After about 15-20 minutes my tummy started to rumble and I needed something easy to cook and eat within the hour because I had other obligations that evening; enter chicken tamale casserole. I discovered this recipe last week and put the ingredients on my grocery list because it sounded easy and delicious. I'm a huge Mexican food lover, especially homemade varieties, so I was pretty sure this would be a hit. I was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is such a cinch to pull this casserole together; quick mix of ingredients and not too long to bake…my kind of weeknight quick fix! I just adore casseroles and this one was no different. The chicken, cheese, and cornbread were made for each other! Such a sensational blend of flavors! Vegetarian? I could easily see a bean mixture replacing the chicken, something I might try for next time! The best part? Portions are generous and it keeps you full for hours! Yum Yum!! Ps. Hodgson Mill offers a whole wheat corn bread/muffin mix that would work great in this recipe…Brandon went to the store though and bought Jiffy brand and I just used that).
If you were a fan of my Mexican Chicken Casserole, I know you will love this dish too! The bonus? It is even easier to prepare than the Mexican chicken casserole! ENJOY!
Chicken Tamale Casserole adapted from CookingLight Nov. 2008
Serves 8
- 1 cup Mexican blend cheese, divided
- 1/3 cup 1% or skim milk
- 1 egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute (I used a whole egg)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/8 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
- 1 (14 oz) can cream-style corn (no added salt)
- 1 (8.5-ounce) box corn muffin mix (Hodgeson Mill has a whole wheat variety!)
- 1 (4 oz) can green chiles
- 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce (such as Old El Paso OR make your own!)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (no antibiotics or added hormones preferred)
- sour cream for topping, if desired
Preheat oven to 400°
Combine 1/4 cup cheese and ingredients through chiles in a large bowl, stirring just until moist. I recommend whisking the egg before placing it in the large bowl. Pour mixture into a 13 x 9–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until set.
Remove from oven and pierce entire surface with a fork; pour enchilada sauce over top. Top with shredded chicken; sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes because it will be hot and bubbly!! Cut into 8 pieces; top each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream, if desired. I recommend serving with a large salad or other vegetable.

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 units
Rationale and Methods
Defining map units. Map units will be defined on the basis of various morphologic, textural, and structural characteristics observable in Magellan images. Geologic (or rock or stratigraphic) units are made up of bodies of rock that are thought to have formed by a particular process or set of related processes over a discrete time span. Even though the interpretation of a map unit or its relative age may not be clear, the unit must have distinctive characteristics. Some surface rocks, however, are so modified by processes postdating their emplacement that their original key characteristics no longer are decipherable. In many of these situations, it is impossible to define geologic units with confidence. Rather than leaving the map blank, it is appropriate to map geomorphologic units that are based on the same types of characteristics, even though the characteristics developed much later than the emplacement of the modified rocks (see Milton, 1975). Where particular morphologic structures or other associated features are rare, the mapper should choose simply to discuss them in the unit description and perhaps map them as symbols rather than delineate a new unit based on them.
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
Correlating map units. Contacts between map units are critical in defining emplacement relations and relative ages and should be clearly presented on the map. Contact geometry may suggest overlap, embayment, crosscutting, or abutment relations that may be used to infer relative age. Structural relations may also be useful in determining relative age.
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
Mapping approach. (This section is largely distilled from Wilhelms, 1990, section 7.4.) Initial familiarity with the map area is achieved by reconnaissance mapping. This first step reveals the overall geology and identifies major map units, their stratigraphy, and structures. To explain the geologic evolution of the area, working hypotheses are formulated that can be tested and revised as more detailed mapping proceeds. The reconnaissance also assists in identifying the most significant and challenging problems in the area, whose resolution will be the major objective of the mapping.
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
Plains materials. Plains units generally are characterized by relatively smooth-appearing (at image resolution) surfaces at low to intermediate elevations. Relative ages are determined by embayment and cross-cutting relations. Units can be subdivided according to morphology (for example, smooth (at pixel scale), ridged, hummocky, fractured, complex); geographic and terrain associations; relative stratigraphic position (such as lower, middle, and upper); and, locally, radar brightness (for example, bright, dark, mottled; see Solomon and others, 1992, fig. 32);
Lava flows and volcanoes. In some areas, individual or multiple lava flows can be subdivided according to radar brightness, superposition, morphology, and surface texture (for example, Arvidson and others, 1992, fig. 6; Head and others, 1992, fig. 9a, d; Moore and others, 1992, fig. 4; Senske and others, 1992, plate 1). Large volcanoes may have distinctive and mappable summit or central caldera areas and associated structures (Head and others, 1992, figs. 3a, b, 4a-c, 5b; Senske and others, 1992, fig. 6). Small volcanic shields or domes may be outlined individually (Head and others, 1992, figs. 2b-d) or shown by point symbols. In some areas, flow directions can be indicated.
Structural terrains and features. The greatest challenge faced for many of the VMAP quadrangles is the mapping of structural terrains and features. A common mistake is to draw in as many structures as possible; this approach results in clutter and is not helpful to the reader. (Remember that the quadrangle base will portray much of the character of highly deformed map units.) Instead, map highly deformed terrains as units and trace only particularly significant or representative structures on the geologic map (compare King and Edmonston, 1972; King, 1990a). Structural terrains include ridge and fracture belts, tesserae (or complex ridged terrains), and other highly deformed areas. These terrains may be delineated on the basis of elevation, relief, dominant structural type(s), structural patterns, size of individual structures, and structure density (Solomon and others, 1991, figs. 7D and 8B; Bindschadler and others, 1992a, figs. 3-7; Fienen and others, 1992). Care will be needed in areas where structural characteristics change gradually; if units are not sufficiently distinct to map separately, it may be better to lump units and show gradational trends through the mapping of representative individual 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
Impact craters. A special type of structure shown on most planetary maps is the impact crater. On other bodies, generally only larger craters are mapped, consistent with map scale. But, because only about 900 craters are recognized on Venus, they are all significant and should all be mapped. However, craters smaller than about 20 km in diameter may have to be indicated by a map symbol. In addition to the crater rim crest, the outer boundary and facies of impact ejecta, floor material, secondary craters, ring structures, central peaks, and outflows can be mapped in many cases (Schaber and others, 1992, figs. 23, 25-27). Also, mappers may choose to subdivide craters into various morphologic classes (for example, Schaber and others, 1992, fig. 4). Extensive surficial features associated with craters (such as dark splotches) should not be mapped as geologic units, but they may be shown by stipple patterns or in a separate, reduced-scale figure.
Unit names, letter symbols, and colors. (See also Wilhelms, 1990; Hansen, 1991, p. 43-52; Reynolds and others, in press.) The general practice in planetary mapping is to use descriptive informal names (such as crater material, ridged plains material, or fractured highlands material). Informal names should include a term that shows that the unit is either a material (geologic) or surface (geomorphologic) unit. Formal names are occasionally applied to stratigraphically distinctive or complex rock units in planetary geology (for example, "Medusae Fossae Formation" on Mars); a formal name requires a formal definition following as closely as possible the established guidelines of The North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature (1983) (see Hansen, 1991, p. 44-49). We discourage the use of formal names in early stages of mapping a planet, however, because experience shows that many unit definitions and portrayals change substantially through the course of several years of research. We also discourage use of jargon (for example, "tick"), because of the resulting confusion to general readers.
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
Line and point symbols. A host of line and point symbols is available to the mapper; where possible, symbols should be those standardized by the USGS for terrestrial maps (Reynolds and others, in press) or those used on published USGS planetary maps (such as those used for crater rims). Many of the symbols used on planetary geologic maps are shown in Appendix B. (If a new symbol is needed, the VMAP Coordinator should be consulted.) Symbols need to be used judiciously to reduce map clutter. Thus, mapping of most secondary morphologic features such as fractures, wind streaks, yardangs, or channels should be avoided or done sparingly; for example, one large arrow (rather than several small ones) can often be used to show flow direction. In many places topography will be visible on the SAR backscatter base of the published geologic map. If the mapper wants to highlight specific features, they may be shown on a supplementary map at reduced scale.
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.
Geographic names
Geographic names. The mapper will be provided with an index map showing all named features in the map area. Only geographic names officially approved or provisionally accepted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) can be shown on the map or mentioned in the text; a name's provisional status must be indicated, usually by an asterisk after the name on the map. Reference to unnamed features should be made by latitude and longitude (all features mentioned in text or DOMU, if not shown on map or in figures, must be located by map coordinates). Note that many craters, coronae, and other geographic features do not have names (see Schaber and others, 1992, table A1; Stofan and others, 1992, table 1). If you feel that a feature needs a name, please consult with the USGS representative to the IAU; guidelines for naming features are given in Appendix C.

Being a professional organizer, I will admit that my mind works a little differently than a lot of other people's minds. Imagine how thrilled I am when I am in a room full of other professional organizers, we totally get each other; everything we say makes perfect sense to the rest of the group!
Just what are a few of the things that make us tick, just what is going on in our brains?
QUANTITY: We aren't afraid that we won't have enough. Enough hair products, enough cleaning products, enough pens (ok, some of us may fear not having enough shoes!). We don't have a compelling need to stockpile, we don't need three different brands of the same item. We would rather use what we have and then replace as needed. We don't mind having a back-up, especially if we get a good price, we just don't need overabundance.
LOGICAL PLACEMENT: We seem to have a knack for walking into a room and being able to put together a puzzle for the best way to set up a space, whether a desk, a counter or a room. We are able to look at how the space is used with fresh eyes and what will be the best way to place items to make the area functional and keep items within easy reach.
CLUTTER-FREE EQUALS CALM: We feel FANTASTIC in a space when everything is in its place, the room isn't cramped and counters don't have piles. We love seeing open space! We feel calm, we feel like we can breathe and we love looking at what we have accomplished when we have organized a space!
Professional organizers may think a little differently, but we are always happy to be able to share our thoughts and our skills!

Police in Zimbabwe are voting early in the country's general elections, despite an attempt by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's party to prevent the decision, saying the number voting was inflated.
Hundreds of police officers lined up to vote in the capital, Harare, early on Sunday morning. Along with soldiers, who are also voting early, they will be on duty on the official July 31 polling day.
The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) had asked the High Court on Friday to stop the special two-day vote, saying that the 69,000 police officers set to cast their ballots on Sunday and Monday far exceed the 44,133 shown on a Ministry of Finance salary schedule for the whole country.
"We are saying where is this excess number coming from because they are not on the government payroll? How does the police commissioner general account for the 69,000?" MDC lawyer Harrison Nkomo told the Reuters news agency.
Tsvangirai, making his third attempt to end Mugabe's 33-year hold on power, said nothing had been set in place to ensure a fairer vote.
Money shortage
Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa, reporting from Harare, said President Robert Mugabe's explanation was that the remaining 20,000 plus police officers who will cast their ballots are reserves who also have the right to vote.
The court will hear the case on Monday.
The run-up to the election has been peaceful, but the process has been criticised as poorly planned, underfunded and plagued with irregularities.
"The finance minister has told the press there is no money in the country to hold elections," said Mutasa. "Not just this special one for police and soldiers but the main one on July 31 when the rest of the country participates in polls."
But our correspondent said Mugabe had tried to assure the public that the money is there.
"There is talk of asking neighbouring countries to donate ... a lot of speculation where it will come from, but certainly officials are telling people to be patient and that the money would be available come July 31," she said.

Big Read Entertainment
This year's PLS Big Read will bring that same sort of entertainment and education to readers in Cleveland, McClain and Pottawatomie counties. It will feature scholar-led book discussions in all 10 communities with hometown libraries, as well as such events as children's story times on western themed books, craft programs, a special quilting series at the Blanchard Public Library and more.
And "True Grit" lovers from all across the state are invited to attend the following events of broad interest, each offered free of charge:
The library presents a Bold Talk scholar panel discussion at 7 p.m., Friday, March 14, at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma. The book discussion of "True Grit" features UCO English professor Steve Garrison, PLS Local History and Genealogy Library Kathryn Ramsay, and Oklahoma Poet Laureate Nathan Brown.
Oklahoma City attorney and musician Bob French moderates the discussion. The museum galleries will be open before and after the book discussion, and French, Steven Streetman and Gary Howe will add vintage tunes to the ambiance of the museum to accompany an exhibit or rare drawings by sculptor Allan Houser.
The library partners with two central Oklahoma theaters for a showing of the 2010 Coen brothers movie based on "True Grit." The Warren Theatre in Moore hosts the movie at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 27, and Cinema Center 8 in Shawnee presents the movie at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 3. Preceding each showing will be a documentary film "The True, True Grit," produced by the University of Oklahoma Video and Media Services Department.
The finale for the PLS Big Read: True Grit will be a day filled with activities on Saturday, April 12. The day begins at 10 a.m. with the annual Norman '89er Day Parade in downtown Norman. Activities then shift to the Cleveland County Fairgrounds for a Free Family Fun Fair with family-friendly activities, performances, games, food vendors and more. At 2 p.m., the day culminates with a performance by Pawnee Bill's Original Wild West Show, making its first-ever Norman presentation and the first time in several years the show has been presented anywhere outside of Pawnee, where they perform June 13-14 at the historic Pawnee Bill Ranch. The show and all activities at the fairgrounds will be offered free of charge.
The PLS Big Read: True Grit is presented with major funding by the Pioneer Library System, Pioneer Library System Foundation, Oklahoma Humanities Council, Norman Arts Council, The Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundation, and the Friends of the Norman Library. Additional support is provided by Dewayne Sexton's Cowboy Carriage, Queen of Hart's Costumes LLC, University of Oklahoma Video and Media Services, Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Moore Warren Theatre, Shawnee Cinema Center 8, Cleveland County OSU Extension, Cleveland County 4-H, Cleveland County Fairgrounds, Pawnee Bill Ranch Association, and Mercury Press, Inc.

This is my first stackable crushed metallic pigment purchase from MAC.
I loved the summery pink selection which goes well with the majority of eyeshadows i have already.
Star crystal is the lightest of the shades & milled the finest. lovely colour & looks neutral but glows really nice on the skin.
Rose light is the next colour. a little less milled/fine as star crystal but again, a great colour.
Strawberry Patch is very pink & the pigment is rather course. i dont really like this because its so hard to press into the lid without it falling all over the place however it does look lovely. this is my least favourite of all.
Moon Rose is darker but softer if that make sense. not as course as s/berry patch. a great colour.
all of these look really great used with clear varnish as a nail varnish too.

Setting Goals and Thinking Long Term
As the season winds down, some athletes may be at the end of their triathlon and running seasons. This inevitably leads to the question, "What am I going to do now?" Before you start to make plans for next season, first you must take time to reflect on your last race season. Although it is nice to just reminisce about your successes, a productive reflection process can be achieved in three easy steps. First, think of all of the feats that you accomplished and how all of your hard work paid off. Then, take a look at some things that you may want to do differently in the next season. Lastly, consider the short-term and long-term goals that you would like to achieve.
