Introduction. Reducing the volume of resected liver parenchyma may lead to lower morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine whether partial preservation of segment IV leads to improved outcomes when undertaking extended right hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing right-sided hepatectomy for CRLM was performed. Rates of 90-day mortality and organ dysfunction were compared in 117 patients undergoing right hepatectomy , partially extended right hepatectomy with preservation of part of segment IV , and fully extended right hepatectomy . Results. The 90-day mortality rate of those undergoing right hepatectomy (3/85) was similar to that of those undergoing extended right hepatectomy (0/12) but lower than that of those undergoing partially extended right hepatectomy (4/20) . The rates of hepatic and renal dysfunction were similar between patients undergoing right hepatectomy, partially extended or extended hepatectomy. Discussion. Preservation of part of segment IV confers little clinical benefit when performing extended right hepatectomy for CRLM.
1. Introduction
Extended right hepatectomy is indicated for solitary tumours involving the midplane of the liver and for multifocal tumours involving both the right lobe of the liver and segment IV. The Brisbane classification defines an extended right hepatectomy as the removal of the right lobe of the liver plus all of segment IV up to the umbilical fissure [1]. This procedure removes the most functioning liver (5 or 6 segments) of all liver resections and exposes patients to a significant risk of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), which is associated with a high mortality, especially when complicated by renal dysfunction [2]. The reported incidence of PHLF after extended right hepatectomy is between 1.2% and 32% in published series [3–10]. Lactic acid produced during anaerobic metabolism is cleared by the liver [11] and hyperlactataemia has been shown to predict postoperative liver dysfunction [12].
As the blood supply and biliary drainage of segment IV is provided via the umbilical fissure [13] it is often technically possible to preserve part of segment IV with an intact blood supply and biliary drainage when performing extended right hepatectomy. Although segment IV accounts for only 20% of total liver volume [14] this proportion more than doubles in a right hepatectomy when only segments I–IV remain. Therefore, preservation of part of segment IV may potentially increase the volume of functioning liver parenchyma and reduce the risk of PHLF when undertaking an extended right hepatectomy. Parenchymal-sparing liver resection has been shown to be of benefit in the context of surgery for colorectal metastases [15, 16]. However, the venous drainage of segment IV is provided mainly by the middle hepatic vein, which lies along the midplane of the liver and may be excised during a partially extended right hepatectomy, although some additional venous drainage is provided by smaller veins [17]. The residual part of segment IV may be perfused and have adequate biliary drainage but the venous drainage may be insufficient leading to engorgement and poor function. In addition, due to the pyramidal shape of segment IV [13] subsegment IVA is small and may add little extrafunctional parenchyma.
The aim of this study was to determine whether preservation of part of segment IV confers any clinical advantage in terms of postoperative arterial lactate concentration, length of hospital stay, rates of PHLF, renal dysfunction, and 90-day mortality compared to complete resection of segment IV up to the umbilical fissure when performing extended right hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).
2. Materials and Methods
This study was a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of all patients undergoing right-sided liver resection for CRLM between August 2005 and March 2013. To reduce variation in the study population patients who had radio-frequency ablation (RFA) or wedge resections performed of the left lobe in addition to the main procedure were excluded from analysis. Operations were described according to the Brisbane classification [1]. Where technically possible, part of segment IV was routinely preserved when performing an extended right hepatectomy, if the retained subsegment appeared well perfused and the resection margin was not compromised. For example, subsegment IVA or B is commonly preserved when undertaking extended resection of multifocal tumours which involve only one part of segment IV. Operations were performed under low venous pressure general anaesthesia using standard techniques. Blood gas analysis was performed after closure of the abdomen and the arterial lactate concentration recorded. Serum biochemistry tests and coagulation assays were performed on patients in the first 24 postoperative hours and the tests repeated according to clinical course. PHLF was defined as an elevated prothrombin time (PT) and serum bilirubin on postoperative day five according to the ISGLS [18]. Renal dysfunction was defined as an increase in serum creatinine of ≥1.5-fold from the preoperative baseline value within the first five postoperative days, according to RIFLE criteria [19].
All patients were followed up for a minimum of 90 days and the length of hospital stay and mortality were recorded along with details of the cause of death, determined from case-sheet review, radiological and laboratory data, and death certificates. Patients who died with jaundice and/or radiological evidence of ascites and/or encephalopathy in the absence of any other clear diagnosis were determined to have died of liver failure.
The distribution of categorical variables between patient groups was compared with Fisher's exact test and continuous variables with Mann-Whitney test. The significance level was set at 0.05. All analyses were performed with SPSS.
3. Results
A total of 117 patients who fulfilled the study criteria were identified of whom 85 had right hepatectomy (72.6%), 20 had partially extended right hepatectomy (17.1%), and 12 had fully extended hepatectomy (10.3%). Patient details and outcomes are shown in Table 1. There was no difference in the stage of the primary tumour, number of liver tumour nodules, or use of liver-directed chemotherapy between resection types, although the maximum tumour diameter was larger in patients undergoing partially extended hepatectomy or extended right hepatectomy compared to those undergoing standard right hepatectomy. Of the 69 patients who received preoperative liver-directed chemotherapy, oxaliplatin and capecitabine was the most common regime in those undergoing standard right hepatectomy (33/50), partially extended right hepatectomy (9/10), and fully extended right hepatectomy (8/9). Blood loss was higher in patients undergoing partially extended resections compared to those undergoing fully extended or standard right hepatectomies. Analysis of postoperative arterial lactate concentrations revealed a higher concentration in patients undergoing an extended hepatectomy compared to the group having a partially extended right hepatectomy or those undergoing standard right hepatectomy. This benefit in early outcome did not translate into improved late post-operative outcomes. The length of hospital stay and rates of hepatic and renal dysfunction were similar for standard compared to partially extended hepatectomy and extended right hepatectomy. There was also no significant difference in the postoperative peak in serum transaminase levels between groups. Postoperatively 11 patients developed a bile leak (9.4%) with no significant difference between groups. Both all-cause 90-day mortality and death due to liver failure were higher in patients in whom part of segment IV was preserved compared to those having a standard right hepatectomy or extended hepatectomy. There were no deaths in the group of patients having an extended right hepatectomy.
4. Discussion
Extended right hepatectomy is associated with significant risk due to the small size of the liver remnant. Surgeons may be presented with the option of preserving part of segment IV if a sufficient margin of resection can be obtained. The results of this study do not demonstrate any clinical benefit of this policy and suggest that an extended hepatectomy up to the umbilical fissure may produce better patient outcomes in terms of organ dysfunction and mortality.
The finding of lower postoperative arterial lactate concentration when part of segment IV is preserved in patients undergoing extended hepatectomy for CRLM is interesting and suggests that in the short term the retained subsegment of liver may provide some function, as the liver is the primary site of clearance of serum lactate [11]. This difference does not however translate into a lower incidence of liver dysfunction in the first five postoperative days compared to operations when all of segment IV is removed. The highest rates of liver failure and mortality were noted in patients who had partially extended hepatectomy compared to standard right hepatectomy and fully extended right hepatectomy. The retained part of segment IV may add up to approximately 20% of the total residual liver volume [14] and the lack of clinical benefit of preserving this subsegment may be due to the development of dysfunction and ultimately infarction due to inadequate venous drainage. The liver portion may then become a metabolic burden on the residual left lateral sector.
The strength of this study lies in the comparison of outcomes within a homogenous patient population undergoing surgery for colorectal metastases with exclusion of patients having additional procedures. The demonstration of lack of benefit of preserving part of segment IV in this patient group is useful as inevitably this procedure requires division of a larger volume of parenchyma than following a straighter resection plane close to the umbilical fissure to remove all of segment IV. This may potentially prolong the operating time and is shown to lead to greater blood loss in the current series.
The weakness of the study lies in the small sample size and the absence of formal volumetric studies. There is a potential for bias in the study in that surgeons may be more likely to attempt preservation of part of segment IV in the presence of a small left lateral sector. However, the quality of residual liver parenchyma also has an effect on postoperative outcome and both biliary obstruction [20] and hepatic steatosis [9] are major operative risks which are not measured by hepatic volumetry. We have conjectured that the lack of sufficient venous drainage contributes to dysfunction of segment IV when the middle hepatic vein is removed and that the macroscopic appearance of the retained segment may not give an accurate indication of the degree of venous drainage. This issue can be explored by the use of intraoperative ultrasound which is able to assess venous outflow by the assessment of flow dynamics within the portal vein. In the presence of outflow obstruction portal venous flow to the affected segment becomes hepatofugal [21] and this phenomenon may be visible in segment IV vessels at the umbilical fissure. This technique could potentially be used intraoperatively to determine the vascular integrity of hepatic parenchyma close to resection margins.
Recent trends in liver surgery have raised the awareness of preserving hepatic parenchyma both to improve short-term outcomes and to allow for repeat resections. However, the data in this study demonstrate that preservation of hepatic volume may not lead to improved outcome when the function of marginal areas of preserved liver is compromised. This has implications for other areas of liver surgery where nonanatomic procedures may be undertaken in an attempt to retain the maximum volume of liver parenchyma.

When I went away to college my freshmen year, I was told I would meet friends that would develop into lifelong friendships. Over my time at Vanguard I have discovered this to be true and I have been so blessed by the friendships I have created. In my blog, Fall Adventures and Lifelong Friendships, I talked about some of the first friends I made at Vanguard and how our friendships have grown.
Last week, I got to show one of my friends and teammates my hometown for a couple of days. We went on a hike to a waterfall and spent the day at the river. Having Melissa come to visit made me realize how valuable our friendship is and I was so lucky to get to share with her another piece of my life.
Throughout my life I have experienced many different types of friendships and have realized that people will come and go from your life. There are friends for moments, seasons and lifetimes. While it is perfectly fine to develop different friendships with people throughout different seasons of your life, I have found that the friends who stick by your side throughout every season in your life are the best kinds of friends to have.
As many of you go through the end of your senior year and see one chapter of your life closing, it is very possible that many of your friendships will fade while some will grow even stronger. Most importantly you will develop new friendships as you begin a new chapter in your life in the fall.

This paper presents a modified fuzzy control for speed control of
induction motor (IM). At first, the PI controller is investigated
for speed control of Induction Motor, and then fuzzy logic
controller performance is simulated. Induction Motor
performance is checked through the simulation studies in
MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. Hybridization of fuzzy
logic (FL) and PI controller for the speed control of given motor
is also performed to remove the disadvantages of FL controller
(steady-state error) and PI controller (overshoot and
undershoot). According to the simulation results, hybrid
controller creates better performance in terms of rice time,
overshoot, undershoot and settling time.
Traditionally, dc motors were used for precise wide range speed
control. Nowadays with progress in power electronic industry
and development of inexpensive convertors and many
advantages of ac motors than dc motors, use of ac motors are
usual in electrical drives. Some of these advantages are: lack of
commutator, the reduced maintenance costs, less volume and
weight and consequently lower cost. In addition, induction
motors are robust and have better performance in high speed and
In recent years, the control and estimation of induction motor
drives is an active research area, and the technology has further
advances in this field. Induction motor drives, especially squirrel
cage rotor-type, have been the workhorses in industry for
variable-speed applications in a wide power range that covers
from fractional horsepower to multi-megawatts.
Generally, the control and estimation of ac drives are
significantly more complex than those of dc drives, and this
complexity increases to a large extent if high performances are
demanded. The need of variable-frequency, harmonically
optimum converter power supplies, the complex dynamics of ac
machines, machine parameter variations, and the difficulties of
processing feedback signals in the presence of harmonics create
this complexity.
Induction motor can be controlled like a separately excited dc
motor, brought a great improvement in the high-performance
control of ac drives especially with the invention of vector
control in the beginning of 1970s. Because of dc machine-like performance, vector control is also known as decoupling,
orthogonal, or transvector control. The vector control and the
corresponding feedback signal processing, particularly for
modern sensorless vector control, are complex and the use of
powerful microcomputer or DSP is necessary. Because of major
advantages of vector control, this method of control will oust
scalar control, and will be accepted as the industry-standard
control for ac drives.
PI controllers are widely used in different industries for control
of different plants and have a reasonable performance. This
performance, however, may not be desirable for some
applications such as ac drive control. Therefore it is essential to
use a more advance controller in these cases.
PI controller can never achieve perfect control, that is, keep the
speed of induction motor continuously at the desired set point
value in the presence of disturbance or set point changes.
Therefore, we need an advance control technique such as fuzzy
logic controller for this goal.
Nowadays, fuzzy systems are applied in wide range of academic
and industrial fields such as modeling and control, signal
possessing, medicine, and etc. An important Fuzzy Logic
application is finding a new solution for control problems that
will be discuses later. The present paper discusses a Fuzzy Logic
Based Intelligent controller. A Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC)
does not need complex mathematical algorithms and is based on
the IF_THEN linguistic rules (Rajesh Kumar et al, 2008).
In this article we first introduce electrical and mechanical
modeling of an induction motor. Then we will explain the block
diagram of the indirect vector control. In the section 4 we will
discuss the PI, fuzzy logic and hybrid controller, respectively.
Finally we will present the simulation results and a brief
The electrical part of an induction motor is represented with a
fourth-order state-space model and the mechanical part with a
second-order system. All electrical parameters and variables are
referred to the stator. This is indicated by the prime symbols in
the machine Equations 1 and 2 for electrical and mechanical
systems. All rotor and stator quantities are in the arbitrary twoaxis
reference frame (d-q frame, see Fig 1).

Texas tries to improve defense
NORTHBROOK, Ill. (STATS) - Texas coach Mack Brown waited a few weeks to announce a starting quarterback for his team in the Alamo Bowl.
According to the UPS Team Performance Index, his bigger concerns should be on defense.
View Latest College Football Bowl Odds
That embattled unit will try to bottle up Cody Vaz and Oregon State on Saturday in perhaps the highest-profile matchup of the 13 bowls this week, with the balanced Beavers bringing the UPS Index's 21st-rated team to San Antonio.
Using an advanced proprietary formula featuring offensive yards per play, defensive yards allowed per play, various special teams statistics and a microindex of miscues that rewards disciplined teams, UPS has teamed with STATS LLC to normalize those numbers across 120 FBS schools.
From there, balance is measured for all of a team's individual units, with the final index weighted toward excellence in those areas and overall winning percentage.
The measure probably sums up how the Longhorns (8-4) feel about their season, pegging them a mediocre 45th. But while the QB situation has gotten much of the attention - Brown announced last week that David Ash would regain the starting job over Case McCoy - Texas' defense looks worse in the ratings.
The UPS Index gives the Longhorns a defensive rating of 90.86, well below average and 91st in the FBS. They yielded more than 600 yards twice and gave up five rushing touchdowns in the regular-season finale, falling 42-24 at Kansas State.
That could bode well for Vaz. Oregon State coach Mike Riley also waited to choose a starting QB - sophomore Sean Mannion being the other worthy candidate - but he's going with the junior, who has thrown 11 TD passes and just one interception.
The Beavers (9-3) have played well across the board, earning the No. 15 ranking in the AP poll and strong ratings in each category of the UPS Index.
"They are a really, really good football team and they are playing with a lot of confidence right now and they are playing so well on defense," Brown said. "They are stopping the run ... they have got great corners that match up well so they can play the man coverage that you have to beat and we have got to do a great job with that."
Another team playing very well on defense is Michigan State, which finishes this week's bowl slate Saturday night in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against TCU. The Spartans (6-6) have the nation's fifth-rated defense in the UPS Index, allowing just 4.35 yards per play, but their struggles in other areas have them at 76th overall.
Only UPS No. 78 Texas Tech (7-5) is lower among bowl-eligible teams, in large part because the Red Raiders haven't forced a turnover in their last five games while ranking 10th nationally in penalty yards. They face Minnesota (6-6) - the only bowl-eligible squad averaging less than five yards per play on offense - in Friday's Meineke Car Care Bowl.
The highest-rated team in the UPS Index playing this week is Fresno State (9-3), which ranks 11th going into Monday night's Hawaii Bowl against SMU (6-6). The Bulldogs' strongest statistics are on defense, but they've been above average in all four categories.
The Mustangs, at 61st overall, haven't been nearly as good, but first-year Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter is expecting an exciting matchup between two teams that each forced 33 turnovers to rank among the top five nationally.
"To a fan watching this game, they'll see two spread offenses that can light up a scoreboard, and two defenses that can take it away," DeRuyter said.
The UPS Index indicates that Thursday's Belk Bowl could be an even bigger mismatch. Duke (6-6) will be happy to make its first postseason appearance in 18 seasons, but at 74th the Blue Devils are 59 spots behind Cincinnati (9-3). Bearcats tailback George Winn, who had 1,204 yards and 12 touchdowns, will try to exploit a Duke defense that has been gashed for 200.7 rushing yards per game.
Only 10 teams have allowed more yards per play than the Blue Devils (6.46), but one of those is Rice (6-6), which faces Air Force (6-6) in the Armed Forces Bowl on Saturday. The Owls could have trouble with the Falcons' triple-option attack, which ranks second nationally with 328.8 rushing yards per game.
In the four bowl games that were played last week, UCF (10-4) posted the best performance in the UPS Index in a 38-17 victory over Ball State in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl. Quarterback Blake Bortles accounted for 352 total yards and four touchdowns.

Traveling teams add to exposure
Have bat, will travel.
That is the mantra of at least two Janesville high school athletes this summer.
Jameson Henning and Kyle Johnson have spent their summer vacation playing baseball. They bypassed American Legion ball to play for traveling teams based out of Racine and Waunakee.
Both players have a goal of playing baseball in college, and playing with older players�including college players�attract the attention of scouts.
�This gives you a lot more exposure to college scouts than the Legion does,� said Johnson, who will be a junior at Janesville Parker this fall. �Plus, you�re facing a lot older players.�
Johnson, 16, played with the Racine Kiwanis and the Waunakee Ravens. The Kiwanis play in the Land O�Lakes League, where Johnson pitched 14 innings with a 3.21 ERA, and in the Langsdorf League, where Johnson pitched 10 2/3
innings with an ERA of 3.38.
Both leagues use wooden bats, which give college and pro scouts a better indication of how good players are. Aluminum bats, which high school and college teams use, give hitters an advantage since balls come off metal bats faster than they do for wood bats.
Henning, who will be a junior at Janesville Craig, plays at a slightly higher level with the Racine Hitters, who play the majority of their games in tournaments.
�We play in showcase tournaments,� said Henning. �Then we do a lot of stuff during the winter like lifting.�
Henning, a 6-1, 170-pound backup middle infielder, played on a Hitters team that participated in summer tournaments at Virginia Tech, the University of Arkansas, Missouri State, Wichita, Kansas, Illinois, Texas Christians and in Orlando.
Johnson and the Kiwanis also participated in the Orlando tournaments, which attract a horde of college and pro scouts.
In 30 games, Henning had 54 at-bats with 11 hits, including two doubles and a homer. He scored 12 runs and walked six times.
Players are invited to try out for the Hitters. If accepted, they pay a yearly fee, which is used to finance trips. Players took vans to most of the tournaments, but flew to Orlando and Dallas.
Henning and Johnson were among the youngest players on their teams.
�Me and one of my other friends were the youngest at 16,� Johnson said. �Actually, we had one of the youngest teams in the league. We had seven high school players.
�It was a little intimidating, but when you�re playing, it�s just like a regular games. You just do your own thing.�
Johnson also plays for the Waunakee Ravens, a team made up with all high school players, who play in area tournaments.
Henning enjoyed his first year with the Hitters.
�I think I did pretty well,� he said. �I swung the bat well.�
Most Hitters players gain college scholarships, including Trevor Foss, a 2008 Craig graduate who played for the Hitters and is now at the University of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (see related story).
�This definitely will be an important year,� Henning said of the 2010 season. �I�ve actually talked with a couple of college coaches already.�

Sydney (AFP) June 03, 2007
Prime Minister John Howard announced Sunday that Australia, one of the worst per-capita polluters in the world, will launch a domestic carbon trading scheme in 2012 to fight global warming. But Howard warned that capping the carbon dioxide belched out by coal-fired power stations could seriously hurt the economy and Australia might have to turn in part to previously shunned nuclear energy.
"Implementing an emissions trading scheme and setting a long-term goal for reducing emissions will be the most momentous economic decision Australia will take in the next decade," he said.
"If we get this wrong it will do enormous damage to the economy, to jobs and to the economic well-being of ordinary Australians, especially low-income households."
Howard, whose conservative government joined the United States in refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol on limiting greenhouse gas emissions, said Australia's trading scheme would be better than those already in place in Europe.
"More comprehensive, more rigorously grounded in economics and with better governance than anything in Europe," he told an annual meeting of his Liberal Party national council.
But his refusal to set a target for the reduction in emissions until next year and the delay in implementation until 2012 drew immediate criticism.
"Climate change is not going to wait for the Liberal Party," said Australian Greens leader Senator Bob Brown. "Keeping global temperature rises to two degrees Celsius or less requires rigorous action now."
Howard attributed the delay in setting a target to a need for rigorous economic modelling, but critics noted that it also meant he would not have to announce the figure before general elections at the end of this year.
The centre-left opposition Labor Party, which has pledged a cut of 60 percent in emissions by 2050, has a strong lead in opinion polls.
Climate change has become a major political issue in Australia, where the worst drought in a century is hitting agriculture and the economy and threatening drinking water supplies to cities.
Howard said Australia, which holds 40 percent of the world's uranium reserves, would also have to set aside long-standing opposition to atomic energy and consider the introduction of nuclear power stations.
"Governments need to let the market sort out the most efficient means of lowering emissions with all low-emission technologies on the table, and that of necessity must include nuclear power," he said.
Australia also has huge reserves of coal, and the use of the polluting fuel in power stations is currently cheaper than nuclear energy would be -- but a carbon "cap and trade" system could change that.
The scheme would involve the government setting a cap on emissions and granting businesses permits to cover the amount of greenhouse gases they produce each year.
Companies wishing to emit more carbon dioxide than their allocated quota would have to buy permits from companies with a surplus, thereby creating an economic incentive to reduce pollution.
Howard's move came just days after his close ally, US President George W. Bush, said he would urge major industrialised nations at the G8 summit this week to join a new global framework for fighting climate change after the Kyoto Protocol lapses.
Environmental groups immediately criticised the plan as vague and based on non-binding limits on greenhouse gases.

Don't Micromanage Your Credit Score
Your credit score is like a movie: constantly changing until you decide to freeze a frame.
Your score, which lenders use to assess your bill-paying ability, is in a constant state of flux and will vary from one credit company to the next. In other words, you don't have one credit score, but many.
"Your score can be updated every time there's a new piece of information," says Sarah Davies, senior vice president of analytics at VantageScore Solutions.
VantageScore is a credit-score model created by the three major credit-
reporting companies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. There's also the FICO credit-score model created by Fair Isaac, which is the score most commonly used by lenders to determine your credit worthiness.
Roughly 70% of credit scores change by up to 20 points in a 90-day window, according to VantageScore. Consider it a reflection of your credit behavior at a particular moment in time.
"You could do something every other day, like pay a bill or miss a payment, and it might change every other day," Ms. Davies says. "The reality is a lot of those updates are insignificant."
A score is determined mainly by how promptly you pay your bills and what kind of debt you carry, though other factors also feed into it. For example, a mortgage and a car loan hold more weight in the scoring system than a handful of retail credit-card accounts. So timely mortgage and car-loan payments are more important.
Your credit score may be as important as your education and your job skills because it helps you navigate your lifestyle. It's taken into account when you buy a house, a car or insurance, and when you seek credit for a small business, try to rent an apartment or get utility service. People with higher scores enjoy lower interest rates and bigger loan amounts. Poor scores can mean high interest rates and less favorable terms.
But mining your score on a monthly or daily basis won't improve it. "Consumers should be credit managers, not credit-score managers," Ms. Davies says.
What's important is that your "range of risk"—what lenders consider key to determine whether you'll make timely payments—is acceptable. But that risk assessment isn't consistent from lender to lender. Auto lenders, for instance, use a different algorithm than a mortgage lender or retailer might.
Scores also vary because the three credit-reporting companies don't have the same information. "Lenders don't report all the same things to all the [credit-reporting companies], which is why scores will vary," says Beverly Harzog, a credit-card analyst with Credit.com.
The two main scoring systems use different point ranges: FICO, which has been around since the late 1950s, scores in a range of 300 to 850. VantageScore, introduced in 2006, goes from 501 to 990.
Still, experts say the range of risk will be about the same if your score is, say, 800 on FICO and 900 on VantageScore.
What matters is which scoring system your lender uses and where you fall on that. If your FICO is 700, don't confuse that with 700 on the VantageScore, which puts you in a lower credit category.
Scores will vary, too, based on when lenders report to the credit company. Some banks may report your payment behavior to Experian at the beginning of the month but give it to TransUnion mid-month.
A credit report from Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, which you can get free annually at AnnualCreditReport.com , will include details on your bill-payment history—but not your FICO score or VantageScore, which are what you should care most about. You'll have to pay for your scores, though it's generally under $20 for each.
Don't worry about your scores changing unless the moves are dramatic. If your score changes significantly, either you made a financial misstep, such as missed a payment or, worse, someone stole your identity.
Here's what you should worry about and how to fix it.
Don't try to manage your score on a daily or weekly basis. If you wait for the full 30-day cycle, all your information will have updated and will be the best representation.
If you want to purchase a home or car in the next year, look at your credit score now and make moves to improve it by paying off debt in a timely manner.
Your credit reports may contain errors. If you contest something in your report, it freezes that information until a decision has been made.
A foreclosure or bankruptcy filing will lower your score significantly and affect you for about seven to 10 years.
A missed mortgage payment will set off alarms, especially if your payment history has been pristine until then, but a late credit-card payment can be more easily fixed by consecutive months of good payment behavior.

ELYRIA — If St. Edward coach Eric Flannery was worried about a letdown following a huge emotional win over a nationally ranked team, those thoughts were put to bed pretty early at Elyria High on Friday.
The Pioneers jumped out to an early lead but the Eagles bounced back quickly in handing Elyria a 66-48 loss, its second straight.
"They're a good team," Elyria coach Brett Larrick said of the Eagles (11-4). "We talked about holding off their spurts. There were a couple rebounds we thought we had (early in the game) but then they get some free throws out of it. Those are plays we talked about. Fifty-fifty balls and rebounds we had to get.
It's a tough team to beat.
"They have good size and strength everywhere and athleticism. They keep balls alive. The guards rebound hard. Defensively, they box out hard. They get after it."
The Pioneers (11-4) jumped in front 12-6 over the first four minutes behind a pair of 3-pointers by Kody Bender but the Eagles finished the quarter on a 13-0 run, then started the second with a 11-2 spurt to open a 30-14 lead with just under three minutes left in the half.
"We started off a little sluggish," Flannery said.
"Elyria was playing well. We just got into a tempo late in the first and early second quarter and really kind of took the momentum over."
"We were very concerned," Flannery said of the challenge he expected from Elyria, particularly after his Eagles knocked off previously unbeaten Mater Dei from California on Monday. "We knew (Elyria) had two really good players (Bender and Isaiah Walton) and coming into their gym, we knew they'd be fired up, especially with the fact that we won a big game. I think that just builds to their anticipation of us coming in."
"You always worry about a little bit of a letdown. You play your archrival (St. Ignatius last Friday) and you play a great team like Mater Dei and you get that win, but then a few days later you have to come and play another game on the road."
Flannery didn't need to worry. St. Edward is deep, big, strong and physical. The Eagles aren't particularly tall — their biggest starters are both 6-foot-6 — but they managed to keep offensive rebounds alive long enough to either draw a foul or stick it back in the basket.
Sophomore Kipper Nichols did the most damage with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Two other Eagles — 6-2 junior Malcolm Walters and 6-3 junior Will Meyer — had five rebounds each. Tony Vuyancih, a 6-4 junior, chipped in 14 points and 6-4 junior Marsalis Hamilton had 10.
Even though Bender had 23 points, St. Edward made Elyria work awfully hard on offense. Bender did manage to get to the foul line seven times in the fourth quarter and knocked down all nine of his attempts for the game, but it was too little, too late for the Pioneers.
Walton, with 13 points, was the only other Pioneer in double figures.
"I thought between Bender and Walton, our goal was to just wear them down and make all their touches tough," Flannery said. "In the middle part of the game, I thought we did a great job with that. That's why we were able to extend our lead."

Five justices on the U.S. Supreme Court triggered a judicial
earthquake on June 23. Their ruling in Kelo v. City of New London
sparked bipartisan anger on Capitol Hill and showcased the
breathtaking power activist judges have to redefine the
The court's narrow 5-to-4 decision effectively airbrushed the 5th Amendment's "takings" clause from the Constitution. This completed a long judicial process whereby the court has gradually but steadily eroded the amendment's promise that private property shall not be taken for "public use" without "just compensation."
The decision grants government seemingly unlimited power to seize private property from one owner and transfer it to another, so long as the government predicts the new use will, as dissenting Justice Sandra Day O'Connor put it, "generate some secondary benefit for the public-such as increased tax revenue, more jobs, maybe even aesthetic pleasure."
Kelo involved an effort by the city of New London, Conn., to bulldoze several waterfront homes and replace them with an "urban village" complete with a $300-million Pfizer corporate facility, upscale housing, a "river walk" and the usual assortment of restaurants and quaint boutiques. But the project stalled when the property owners refused to sell. Thus, the court found itself in the unprecedented situation of deciding whether the 5th Amendment permits government to transfer property from one owner to another for purely economic reasons.
Property in Jeopardy
The majority's decision to side with New London officials, O'Connor warned, means "the specter of condemnation hangs over all property" and "nothing is to prevent the state from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory."
In his own dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas called on the court to re-evaluate all its jurisprudence on the takings clause, arguing that it "is most naturally read to authorize takings for public use only if the government or the public actually uses the taken property." He contrasted the court's "overriding respect for the sanctity of the home" when it comes to searches and seizers with its near-total deference to governmental "public use" decisions that might result in the tearing down of those same homes. "Though citizens are safe from the government in their homes," Thomas concluded, "the homes themselves are not."
What are the political ramifications of Kelo? Two immediately come to mind.
First, as O'Connor and three other justices put it, the court's willingness to "effectively delete the words 'for public use' from the takings clause of the 5th Amendment" reinforces the importance of confirming a conservative to the court, should an opening occur this year.
Second, the decision could create some fascinating political alliances. Farmers and small property owners in the West may find common cause with the working poor in cities where development pressures are rife. Rep. Richard Pombo (R.-Calif.), who has long championed the rights of besieged property owners in his agricultural district, said the ruling "has delivered the property rights assault from rural America right to the doorsteps of suburbia." Rep. Maxine Waters (D.-Calif.) noted that the decision reaches to the doorsteps of the inner-city residents she represents. Kelo, she said, is "dangerous" because "your city fathers could get together with developers and take land in ways it has never been done before."
Bipartisan Anger
Waters has pledged to work with her Republican House colleagues to "take back" the 5th Amendment. Meanwhile, Sen. John Cornyn (R.-Tex.) introduced legislation to prohibit the federal government-and any government that uses federal funds-from exercising the power of eminent domain to advance economic development projects. The decision sparked a flurry of legislative activity among lawmakers, ranging from a strong resolution of disapproval authored by Rep. Phil Gingrey (R.-Ga.) to an attempt by Rep. Scott Garrett (R.-N.J.) to prohibit the use of federal funds for abuses of the takings process.
Cornyn's remedy is necessarily limited due to the constitutional basis of Kelo. Short of an ill-advised effort to clarify the clear meaning of the takings clause, only the appointment of judicial conservatives to replace Justices John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Stephen Breyer can fully rectify the situation.

A while ago a paper was published that discussed oral sex in bats. Now, if you've ever hung around biologists or evolutionary psychologists for more than five minutes, you know that we tend to be a little obsessed with sex. Seeing papers like this greatly amuses and interests us – I know I was sent this paper by at least 10 different biologists I know.
So what happened to Prof. Dylan Evans of University College Cork surprises me. I'll just repost his letter so you get the whole story:
Dear Colleagues,
The President of University College Cork, Professor Michael Murphy, has imposed harsh sanctions on me for doing nothing more than showing an article from a peer-reviewed scientific article to a colleague.
The article was about fellatio in fruit bats. You can read it online at http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0007595
It was covered extensively in the media, including the Guardian – see http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/nov/10/oral-sex-bats-improbable-research
The colleague to whom I showed the article complained to HR that the article was upsetting. I had been engaged in an ongoing debate with the colleague in question about the relevance of evolutionary biology to human behaviour, and in particular about the dubiousness of many claims for human uniqueness. I showed it the colleague in the context of this discussion, and in the presence of a third person. I also showed the article to over a dozen other colleagues on the same day, none of whom objected.
HR launched a formal investigation. Despite the fact that external investigators concluded that I was not guilty of harassment, Professor Murphy has imposed a two-year period of intensive monitoring and counselling on me, and as a result my application for tenure is likely to be denied.
I am now campaigning to have the sanctions lifted. I would be grateful for your support on this matter. I have created an online petition at:
I'd be grateful if you sign the petition and ask your colleagues to do so. If you also felt like writing directly to the President of UCC, his address is:
Professor Michael Murphy
The President's Office
University College Cork
Republic of Ireland.
Your support would be greatly appreciated.
Dylan Evans
If someone gets upset for you bringing up something sexual (that's relevant) during a biology discussion, something is wrong. Just because us humans like to be puritanical about things doesn't mean nature follows suit. I've blogged before at the diversity of sexual behavior in living organisms – we shouldn't be ignoring that because "oral sex" sounds gross or sinful. It's still part of the discussion, whether you like it or not.
I wonder what would have happened if Dr. Evans showed this colleague papers about homosexuality, polygamy, rape, necrophilia, traumatic insemination… I'm betting on fainting and pearl clutching.

I have just run one of the most beautiful trail I have ever run, see the map above and also a few pics I took while I was running.
I ran about 23km in 2h20 mins which is not very fast but there were lots of climbs like the Divisadero street that I had to partly walk on since it's so steep and I was more testing my resistance to duration than speed. I ran two half marathons in the past, best time 1h34 but that was a few years ago while I was more fit. I never ran longer so I wanted to try today.
My legs muscles started to feel tight after two hours and forced me to slow down, it wasn't really painful, just a little bit, but impossible to maintain the same speed.
I will start searching for links and reads from marathon runners about how to avoid this but if some of you are runners and have tips for how to run 3 to 4 hours non stop and avoid those issues please share in the comments! Thanks.

Help Setting up an External Hard Drive?
Peteo wrote:
Hoping to get some help from my fellow Pentax friends who have already done this. I see no need for me to struggle and reinvent the wheel when others have already figured it out.
I picked up a 3TB external hard drive yesterday and am wondering the best way to set it up for my pictures. I primarily use LR4 for my post processing and my desktop has 1TB of memory.
Is it best to import the raw photos into the external hard drive. Have LR4 grab them and then save the processed pictures on both the main hard drive and the external? Also, would it make sense to move my current photo library to the new external hard drive?
Computer hardware is not my strong suit so any help is greatly appreciated.
I've been using external drives for a few years now, both on PC and Mac.
It is used as the main drive for all my photos (and music); my lightroom collections are on the external drive, I import all into them.
I have not seen or experienced any ill effects (knock on wood); but I always do a regular backup to another external drive.
I think that in Lightroom you can "move" (export?) your collection to another folder, in your case your external drive.
(side-note) If you are bi-platform (mac and pc), the drive should be formatted for PC, or you will have to use something like MacDrive to be able to use the drive on your PC.
Good luck.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

So, I'm going to study abroad at Cambridge for 5 weeks starting in July. I've never flown before, and I'm flying United, so I wanted to make sure that I get the luggage situation right before I show up at the airport and end up having to check everything for a ridiculous amount of money.
From what I've read on the UA site, the first checked bag to Europe is free, so I can pack most of my stuff, clothing, toiletries, etc. in one big roller bag and check it, right?
Then, I'm allowed one carry on bag, max. of 45 inches, or max of 14 x 22 x 9. I have a bag that I'm pretty sure fits these dimensions, but I'm concerned the depth might be slightly over 9" when filled with stuff. However, it's only 20" high and 13.5" wide, so even if the depth measured 10", it would still be less than 45 (43.5 to be exact). As long as it remains under 45", will it pass inspection as being an "okay" carry-on if it's pretty close? Or are they really, really strict about it being exact?
Third, I'm allowed one personal item, but of course, UA doesn't specify dimensions for this item. It does say this can be a laptop bag, which is what I was planning on taking. I've heard that one airline specifies 36 inches or less for the "personal item", and that this is a good rule for most other airlines, too. But I just wanted to make sure.
My bag is standard shoulder-strap laptop bag, measuring about 16 x 11 x 3, or about 30 inches. In other words, it's a standard, thin laptop bag that carries up to a 15" laptop and accessories. I was planning on putting all my electronic equipment in it: my 13" Macbook, my Kindle, my iTouch, and their associated cords/adaptors. Now, I've heard such a bag is okay as long as you can fit under the seat. Will this fit? Or will it get me flagged?
Since I've never flown before, I don't want end up with a hassle when it comes to checking/carrying-on baggage. Do my bags sound okay, or should I scrounge around for some smaller ones?
Also, I was wondering about weight restrictions. Do my bags have individual restrictions, or is there a total weight I can't exceed for all bags (carry on + checked) combined?

First Flight: Carry On + "Personal Item"?
So, I'm going to study abroad at Cambridge for 5 weeks starting in July. I've never flown before, and I'm flying United, so I wanted to make sure that I get the luggage situation right before I show up at the airport and end up having to check everything for a ridiculous amount of money.

The objective of 1 carryon plus one personal item pretty much follows common sense.
Your carryon should be able to fit in the overhead bin. Your personal item should be able to fit underneath the seat in front of you.
You might check the UA's British site. The requirements coming home may / probably is different than going to.
One thing to remember, is that you're going to have to haul that stuff around.
Don't forget to read the TSA 3-1-1 on carryon liquids.
Report Abuse
Your free check bag is probably 50lb limit (22 kilos or similar). You'll pay extra for overweight.
Overhead bin sizes vary on different types of aircraft. Some overhead bins are really big, and your bag should fit just fine. The flight attendants should help you find overhead space, or allow you to check your rollaboard, should there not be space for it. You have no status with the airline so will probably board in one of the last (if not THE last) group, which means space will be at a premium by that time. If your bag does not fit, the flight attendant (or the agent at the gate, before you board) will let you know that bins are full and you will gate-check your rollaboard bag, at no cost. Your computer bag will remain with you, and yes, it should fit under the seat in front of you.
You will see plenty of people who violate these rules! They bring everything but the kitchen sink on board, and their 2nd bag is usually a pretty hefty sized duffle, which they throw in the overhead bin along with their rollaboard, which leaves less room for people who do follow the carry-on rules!
Enjoy your flight! I hope your studies go well.

I'm a frequent flyer on UA and I have never seen them measure a carry-on, and it is as plain as the nose on your face that many people's are too large.
I travel with my wife and we recently bought a very large stroller (a four wheeled bag) that was just under the maximum dimensions allowed by UA, which we check. It is huge and my only concern is that if I really packed it, it could be over the weight limit imposed by UA. Other than picking it up when it gets full of wine bottles, it is easier to manuever than a roller bag. Look for one with handles on every side (including the bottom) so it is easier to pick up. I also put a nylon belt around it to keep it from opening and make it easier to see on the carousel.
The reality of carry on luggage is that very many people take on more than they should, and the overhead bins are smaller than they should be, and the airlines have hidden a lot of equipment under the seats. So it is almost a certainty that, unless you are among the very first to board, and UA now assigns you to a group so its just luck if you go first, they will run out of space and gate check some carryons. That means they put a tag on it at the gate, give you a receipt, and put it in the luggage hold. The good side of this is that they do not charge a fee; the bad side is that if you have anything valuable in it, it may be lost. I have not had to gate check anything in years, but when I did they brought it up to the plane door on arrival. I suspect they may no longer do that, since there would be a pretty big pile there.
Assuming you will want your computer case at school, I would pack it, empty, in your checked luggage. Get a back pack big enough to hold your computer, camera, medicines, etc., and use that as your personal item; they are usually malleable enough to fit under the seat in front of you (don't get a bulkhead seat, they are narrower and you have no underseat storage), where you can keep an eye on it, easily get what you want out of it, and use it as a footrest. Don't let them gate check the knapsack; tell them it has stuff in it you will need during the flight.
Since you will be there a while, you might look into mailing or shipping some of your things. It is not terribly expensive if you don't need one-day service. I'm sure the school has an address you can use for that.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the advice, guys! I just wanted to make sure I was following the rules and wouldn't end up getting penalized for my bag sizes. I've heard of bags getting gate checked, but does that happen exceedingly often?
I was planning to put everything essential in my computer bag (electronics, prescription medication, etc.), so as to make sure I would have those things on me at all times. So even if they need to gate check one of my bags, I can still keep my computer bag with me, yeah?
Report Abuse
Ok so the reality is, if you are going in July and are on a packed flight, everyone will have the same idea as you, pack as much as you can into a carryon and see if you can bring it on board. As Simpson has said, without status, you will be the last to board so there may be no be room in the overheads at all. And gatecheck happens on full flights in the summer....
So it's really NOT so much question whether your carryon fits the specs as much as there likely won;t be room for it and you will HAVE to gate check it. Get a small padded computer backpack for your computer and essentials and make sure it stays with you as your personal item.
Report Abuse
If you have a standard size computer bag, it should easily fit underneath the seat in front of you. Your roll-aboard may well need to be gate-checked, as overhead bin space is never enough for all the stuff people bring on board. I assume you'll also be checking a bag.
My experience is that on international flights, they are more vigilant about what people bring onboard. I have seen them walk through and take bags from people who have more than one carry-on and one personal item and check them at the gate. So, if you are lucky, they may enforce the carry-on rules and you will have overhead bin space to stow your carry-on.
Report Abuse
Well, now that I've been thinking about it, I might be able to squish everything into one checked bag if it's big enough, thus eliminating the carry on bag issue entirely. All the essentials can fit into my computer bag (medicine, electronics, a change of clothes in case, etc.) We'll see, though. It depends on how big my checked bag ends up being (because I don't have one yet).
Although, if I do eliminate the big carry on bag, could I squeeze by something else with my computer bag, like, say, a camera bag? I have one of those nice DSLR cameras that I wanted to take along (not only for personal pictures but also some for the study abroad center at my college, so they need to be high quality), but I thought I would need to cut because it wouldn't be able to fit in my computer bag. If I lose the big carry on, would they let me by with a standard computer bag and a small DSLR camera case?
Report Abuse
Take a backpack AND a laptop bag. A lot easier to find space in the overhead bin for a backpack than a rollaboard. And worst case, both can fit under the seat in front of you. That's how I carry my dSLR and lenses and laptop on board.

Yes, you can carry on both a laptop bag and a camera bag.

Are you going from home on a nonstop transatlantic flight, or will you begin with a domestic flight to connect to the international flight? If all your travel is on the big transatlantic plane, you probably have less to be concerned about than if you will connect from one plane to another. I say this because the past few years nearly every domestic flight I've been on has been full, with many passengers bringing roll-aboards to avoid the $25 bag fee, and a good many of those getting gate-checked. My observation on transatlantic flights has been, generally, that the overhead bins are roomier and, with one free checked bag, relatively fewer people try to force large bags into the bins.
A soft duffel or backpack that will hold your electronics could be either a "carry on" that can squeeze into the bin, or your "personal item" that will go under the seat.
Safe travels.

@kayd- I'm flying transatlantic straight out of Dulles to Heathrow and back again, so I don't guess domestic-only problems are on my radar. =)

Do not put your camera in anything that might possibly get checked or gate checked. Far too much chance of theft...and it happened to us. Nothing valuable in checked luggage!
Report Abuse
And although it sounds like you know this already, just in case, be aware that a purse is another "personal item" -- if you have one you might have to stuff in into another of your bags - preferably the one you're keeping with you!

Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
If I go to a store with a friend and my friend shoplifts without my knowledge can I be held accountable for another's actions?
3 Answers from Attorneys
In order to convict you, the District Attorney would have to prove you knew your "friend" intended to steal something, and that you knew of the plan and somehow assisted him. Just being there when somebody else does something illegal isn't a crime.
However, that doesn't mean you couldn't be arrested, hauled off to jail, prosecuted, and even convicted if a jury believed you were involved with your so-called friend's theft.
Bottom line: choose your friends carefully, and stay away from idiots who would put you in this kind of position.
excellent advice ;) ... if you really did not know anything about it & were not involved before or after the event, you 'should' not be held accountable ...but it all comes down to what a Judge, jury or prosecutor believe is reasonable.
I agree with Mr. Marshall and Ms Hofmeister but you should know but many people in the position you describe are charged as co-conspirators on the basis that the police officer or the store clerk believes they are acting as a watch out for the person actually making the theft. Right now I am involved in a four defendant case where two of the defendants are not alleged to have taken anything.
