With Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) providing most of the papers relating to its KG basin gas fields, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) was ready to begin audit of expenses incurred by RIL in developing the fields, Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Jitin Prasada said. "CAG would be in a position to commence the audit in respect of the KG-D6 block," he said in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
RIL had expressed willingness to provide all details and access to the records of KG-D6 to facilitate audit by CAG, which had received most of the initial documents from the company, he added. CAG would conduct audit of production sharing contracts (PCS) for KG-D6 awarded to RIL, for 2006-07 and 2007-08, he said.
The Petroleum Ministry has asked CAG to audit the accounts of RIL after charges were levelled against the company for showing a four-fold increase in development costs ($8.8 billion) due to gold-plating.
Besides RIL's KG-D6 block, CAG had been asked to carry out a special audit of Cairn India's Rajasthan block.

Thursday's Top 25 NCB Betting Notes
By Covers.com
Check out our quick-hitting betting notes on all of Thursday's ranked college basketball games:
Purdue Boilermakers at (3) Michigan Wolverines (-16.5)
Purdue has won three consecutive games and six of eight after a shaky start. The Boilermakers routed West Virginia 79-52 in a non-conference contest in their last outing. Purdue is 2-2 on the road, including a conference victory over Nebraska. Michigan's only home loss last season was to the Boilermakers. The Wolverines are 11-0 at Crisler Arena with seven of the victories coming by 28 or more points. Michigan is scoring nearly 20 points more a game – 79.3 to 59.5 – than it is allowing.
(16) VCU Rams at Richmond Spiders (+8.5)
Virginia Commonwealth has taken the conference by storm in its first year since its move from the Colonial, winning its first four conferences games. The Rams have also won 13 straight contests overall. Richmond, meanwhile, snapped a two-game slump by beating Charlotte at home on Saturday. The Spiders' offense focuses largely on perimeter shooting as Richmond is second in the country in 3-pointers per game and 29th in the nation in 3-point percentage (38 percent). Virginia Commonwealth forces an average of about nine more turnovers than it gives up per game. The Spiders are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win.
Tennessee Volunteers at (24) Ole Miss Rebels (-8.5)
The Volunteers have some extra motivation heading into this one. Not only did the Rebels score a 92-74 victory in their Jan. 9 meeting, but Marshall Henderson vexed the Vols late in the game by openly boasting he was going to score 30 points. Henderson, the SEC's leading scorer and the reigning SEC Player of the Week, finished with 32 points. Since beating the Vols on the road, Ole Miss has entered the national rankings--and rides a seven-game win streak into this rematch. Meanwhile, Tennessee just snapped a four-game losing streak with Saturday's win over Mississippi State. The Rebels are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall.
UCLA Bruins at (6) Arizona Wildcats (-10)
UCLA hasn't won in Tucson since the 2007-08 season, which also marks the last time the Bruins defeated a ranked team on the road. That victory came at Washington State on Feb. 7, 2008. Bruins freshman forward Kyle Anderson missed Tuesday's practice with a stomach virus and freshman guard Jordan Adams also was experiencing similar symptoms. Coach Ben Howland is hopeful both players will be on the floor against Arizona. Anderson has six double-doubles and leads the team in rebounding (9.1) to go with a 9.9 scoring average. Adams averages 15.2 points, second on the squad behind freshman forward Shabazz Muhammad (17.9). UCLA is 1-4 ATS in its last five road games.
BYU Cougars at (10) Gonzaga Bulldogs (-10)
The Bulldogs are the lone unbeaten team in conference play and the Cougars would be unblemished as well if not for a recent one-point loss to Saint Mary's. BYU Sophomore guard Tyler Haws has scored 20 or more points in seven consecutive games after pouring in 25 during the victory over San Diego. Haws has 14 20-point outings on the season and has failed to score in double digits just once all season. Gonzaga is 1-4 ATS in its last five home games.

Games to Watch
By David Schwab
Purdue Boilermakers vs. No. 5 Michigan Wolverines
The Boilermakers have won their last three games to move back over .500 on the year at 10-8 SU. They are 7-10 ATS this season but have covered in four of their last six games. Purdue is 2-2 both SU and ATS on the road this season and the total has gone OVER in four of its last five games. This team has really struggled at times shooting the ball and is hitting just 42.3 percent of its shots from the field. Terone Johnson is Purdue's leading scorer with 13.3 points a game.
Michigan moved to 4-1 SU in Big Ten play with an 83-75 victory over Minnesota last Thursday as a 2½-point road underdog. It is now 17-1 SU and 10-6 ATS with the total going OVER in six of its last eight games. The Wolverines are a perfect 10-0 SU at home and 5-4 ATS. They come into this matchup ranked 10th in the nation in scoring with an average of 79.3 points a game. They are the fourth-best shooting team in the country; hitting 51 percent of the shots from the field.
Re: College Basketball Betting News and Notes Thursday, January 24
UCLA at Arizona
By Brian Edwards
With Oregon setting a frenetic pace in Pac-12 play, Arizona and UCLA will collide tonight in a crucial conference showdown. The Wildcats and Bruins, with one league loss apiece, don't want to fall two games behind the Ducks.
As of early this morning, most betting shops had Arizona (16-1 straight up, 8-7 against the spread) installed as an 8½-point favorite with a total of 147. Gamblers can expect to see the money-line price for Ben Howland's squad to be in the plus-350 range.
Sean Miller's squad is No. 2 in the RPI Rankings thanks to five wins over RPI Top 50 schools and eight victories over those in the Top 100. Arizona has quality wins over the likes of Miami, Florida, Colorado, San Diego St. and So. Miss.
Since suffering a 70-66 loss at Oregon following a 14-0 start, the Wildcats have won back-to-back games at Oregon St. and Arizona St. Mark Lyons dropped a game-high 24 points on the Sun Devils in a 71-54 victory to hook up 'Zona backers as a 6½-point 'chalk.'
Lyons, the transfer from Xavier, is averaging a team-high 15.4 points per game. Solomon Hill is scoring at a 13.6 PPG clip while shooting 43.5 percent from 3-point land. Nick Johnson also averages double figures, scoring 12.7 PPG.
UCLA (15-4 SU, 7-11 ATS) saw its 10-game winning streak halted in Saturday's 76-67 loss to Oregon as a five-point home favorite. The 143 combined points stayed 'under' the 146½-point total.
The Ducks broke open a close game with a 14-6 run to finish the game. They outscored the Bruins 38-24 in the lane and won the battle of the boards by a 37-28 margin.
UCLA freshman sensation Shabazz Muhammad used poor shot selection and finished with 10 points, eight below his average. Muhammad was benched and missed the first five minutes as punished for being late to Friday's practice.
Travis Wear scored 17 points in the losing effort. Kyle Anderson produced 11 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, while Norman Powell was also in double figures with 11 points.
Muhammad is averaging 17.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. The freshman from Las Vegas is stroking treys at a 45.8 percent clip, but he has an abysmal 13/30 assists-to-turnovers ratio.
The Bruins rely heavily on freshmen. In addition to Muhammad, Jordan Adams and Anderson are key ingredients. Adams is the team's second-leading scorer with a 15.2 PPG average, while Anderson averages 9.9 points and 9.1 rebounds per contest.
UCLA has only been an underdog once this year, winning a 78-75 decision at Colorado as a 2 ½-point 'dog on Jan. 12. The Bruins
The 'under' is 9-2-1 overall for Arizona, 3-1 in its home games with a total. The 'under' is 7-5 overall for UCLA, 5-1 in its last six games. The 'under' has cashed in four straight head-to-head meetings between these Pac-12 rivals.
Arizona won two of three games against UCLA last season, including a 66-58 win as a three-point underdog at the Pac-12 Tournament.
Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2.
B.E.'s Bonus Nuggets
Gonzaga will take on BYU tonight as a nine-point home favorite in a key WCC showdown. ESPN2 will provide television coverage at 11:00 p.m. Eastern.
Miami made a huge statement with Wednesday's never-a-doubt 90-63 win over top-ranked Duke as a 2 ½-point underdog in front of a raucous crowd in Coral Gables. The loss was the third-worst defeat by a No. 1 team in NCAA history. The Blue Devils hadn't lost by this many points in the regular season since 1984. This was a beatdown for Duke like none seen since UNLV was destroying it in the finals of the 1990 NCAA Tournament in Denver. The Hurricanes improved to 14-3 thanks to a 25-point effort from senior guard Durand Scott. Kenny Kadji added 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field.
Miami got a big pre-game boost when senior center Reggie Johnson returned early from a broken thumb suffered on Dec. 18. Johnson, who was expected to miss at least another week or two, had two points and five rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench.
Oregon leads the Pac-12 and is 6-0 in league play for the first time in 39 years. The Ducks improved to 17-2 overall with last night's 68-61 win over Washington St. The Cougars took the money as 10½-point road underdogs.
Florida never led in the first half and trailed 27-24 at halftime in Athens last night. But the Gators poured it on Georgia in the second half en route to a 64-47 win as 15 ½-point favorites at Stegeman Coliseum. They hooked up their backers for second-half wagers as 10-point favorites. Scottie Wilbekin matched his career-high with a team-high 17 points, while Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy chipped in with 14 and 13 points, respectively.
UC-Santa Barbara will be without its best player indefinitely. Sophomore center Alan Williams, who averages 17.4 points, 9.9 boards and 2.4 blocked shots per game, is out with a knee injury.
Butler tasted defeat last night for the first time since losing 78-61 to Illinois in the Maui Classic finals on Nov. 21. The Bulldogs had their 13-game winning streak snapped in a 54-53 loss at LaSalle. However, they still covered the number for a fifth straight time as 2 ½-point underdogs. Brad Stevens's team now owns a 7-1 spread record in eight underdog situations.
Miami had seen all 10 of its totals stay 'under' before last night's 153 combined points hurdled 'over' the 132-point total.
Even though it couldn't throw it in the ocean from the charity stripe, Northwestern picked up a huge win for Bill Carmody by knocking off Minnesota 55-48 last night. The Wildcats won outright as eight-point home 'dogs, hooking up money-line supporters with a plus-320 payout. Jared Swopshire was the catalyst with 16 points and eight rebounds.

NCAAB: Streaks, Trends, Notes
Purdue at Michigan
Michigan rebounded from it's loss at Ohio State by defeating Gophers 83-75 in Minnesota last time out moving the mark to 17-1 (10-6 ATS) on the campaign. Michigan with four double digit scorers lead by Trey Burke (18.0) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (16.4) are having little trouble putting the ball in the net averaging 79.3 points/game on a smart 51.0% shooting from the field. Meanwhile, Boilermakers (10-8, 7-10 ATS) hitting just 42.3% of their shots are averaging just 66.8 points/game. Michigan the superior team owning a solid 25-1 (13-9 ATS) stretch in Ann Arbor the past two seasons won't lose this game. That sole loss came at the hands of these Boilermakers right here on Senior Night last season. It's pay-back time. Win yes but covering the whopping 16-point spot will be a chore. Wolverines are just 2-6 ATS last eight at home vs Purdue and Boilermakers hit the hardwood a smart 11-2-1 ATS as double dogit road underdogs.
Re: College Basketball Betting News and Notes Thursday, January 24
Game of the Day: UCLA Bruins vs. Arizona Wildcats
UCLA vs. #6 Arizona
UCLA (15-4 SU, 7-11 ATS) had a 10-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, falling at home to Oregon, 76-67, giving 5. They take on an Arizona (16-1 SU, 8-7 ATS) team that has won two straight, including beat rival Arizona State, 71-54, giving 6.5. UCLA travels to the McKale Center in Tuscon, Arizona to take on the Wildcats at 9pmET.
Matchup: Last game: (3/8/12). ARIZONA (-3) over Ucla, 66-58. Arizona has won two straight SU.
Latest Odds: Arizona is a 9.5-point favorite.
Key Betting Trends:
UCLA is:
13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 Thursday games.
4-9 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.
Arizona is:

1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Pacific-12.
Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
5-2 ATS last 7 at home in series
Key Injuries:
F Ryan Kelly (foot) is out indefinitely.none.
Arizona's Mark Lyons wants to be regarded as the nation's top point guard. UCLA's Larry Drew II might be a better true point man, though he's probably not even the best player on his own team.
That distinction goes to Shabazz Muhammad, who could atone for a forgettable game - one which cost the Bruins the Pac-12 lead and their Top 25 spot - by leading his team to a road win over the sixth-ranked Wildcats on Thursday night.
Lyons is the reigning Pac-12 player of the week after matching a season high with 24 points Saturday, including 15 in the decisive second half of a 71-54 win at archrival Arizona State.
UCLA's last game did not go so well, having a 10-game winning streak snapped with a 76-67 loss to then-No. 21 Oregon on Saturday.
While Drew had eight assists and scored the Bruins' only six points in the final three minutes, Muhammad was shut out in the second half after scoring 10 in the first.
Muhammad, averaging a team-high 17.9 points, was benched for the first five minutes for being late to practice the previous day.
That defeat dropped UCLA (15-4, 5-1) from the AP poll after a one-week stay and out of a tie for first place with the Ducks.
While Arizona (16-1, 4-1) suffered its only loss at Oregon on Jan. 10, the Bruins have won their only two true road games - at Colorado and Utah - but those schools have a combined 3-9 conference record.
UCLA is facing an Arizona team which is 9-0 at home before heading north Saturday to visit the Sun Devils, who were 11-1 in home games before losing to the Wildcats.
That could be particularly true for Muhammad, who has totaled 20 points in two road games while shooting 9 for 29. UCLA is 7-0 when he scores at least 20.
Fellow freshman Jordan Adams is 1 for 12 from the field and has scored nine points over the past two games.
Adams is averaging 15.2 points, just as Lyons is. However, Arizona's senior guard has stepped up in conference play, scoring 19.4 per game.
Drew also has been in many big games, having spent three seasons with North Carolina, but he's never played in Tucson, and UCLA has dropped four straight there. He ranks among the Division I leaders with 8.1 assists per game - Lyons is at 3.3 - and Drew leads the country by a wide margin in assist-to-turnover ratio (4.67).
UCLA has dropped six of nine to the Wildcats, including a 66-58 loss in last year's Pac-12 tournament.
Arizona's Solomon Hill had 25 points and 12 rebounds in that matchup and is averaging 16.7 points in his last six games.

College Basketball Point Spreads and Picks
By: The Linemakers
Two games out west highlight Thursday night's college basketball betting card, with UCLA at Arizona (-8.5) in the Pac-12, and BYU at Gonzaga (-9.5) in a West Coast Conference matchup.
The lines below are from the LVH SuperBook as of about 9:30 a.m. PT Thursday.
Here's a look at the point spreads, totals and key trends for tonight's top 25 action and more, with a few wagering recommendations from The Linemakers on Sporting News.
UCLA vs. No. 6 Arizona – 9:00 p.m. ET, ESPN2
Line: Arizona -8.5, Total: 147
The Linemakers' take: We think this line should be more like 3 or 3.5, which means a lean toward the Bruins, who had a 10-game winning streak snapped last Saturday by Oregon. UCLA is 1-3 ATS on the road this season, but Arizona has been in a lot of close games and is a middling 4-4 ATS at home. Expect another close one Thursday.
• Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
• Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
• Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
• Over is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Arizona.
• Bruins are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Arizona.
BYU vs. No 10. Gonzaga – 11:00 p.m. ET, ESPN2
Line: Gonzaga -9.5, Total: 149
The Linemakers' take: At first glance, the spread here looks like a big number. But if BYU tries to run with Gonzaga (not a good idea), this game could get out of hand. Look for these teams to score in the 80s or 90s, and such a tempo clearly favors Gonzaga.
• Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
• Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
• Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
• Under is 35-14-2 in Bulldogs' last 51 home games.
• Under is 29-14-1 in Bulldogs' last 44 overall.
Stanford vs. Colorado - 10:00 p.m. ET, ESPNU
Line: Colorado -4.5, Total: 134
The Linemakers' take: Stanford has won five straight in this series, and that would suggest taking the points tonight. However, this Stanford squad does not shoot well, and it's a big-time payback spot for Colorado, as the Cardinal won both meetings last year by over 20 points. Colorado is 39-5 at home under coach Tad Boyle, and Stanford is just 9-29 in their last 38 conference road games.
We believe the Buffaloes have the edge in the backcourt and are going to come up with a big performance tonight.
Cardinal are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games
Cardinal are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games
UNDER has occurred Buffaloes' last 6 home games against teams with losing road record.
Purdue vs. No. 2 Michigan – 7:00 p.m. ET, ESPN
Line: Michigan -14.5, Total: 132.5
• Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
• Boilermakers are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Michigan.
• Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
• Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
No. 19 VCU vs. Richmond – 7:00 p.m. ET, CBSSC
Line: VCU -8.5, Total: 137.5
• Home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
• Favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
• Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
• Rams are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings.
Tennessee vs. No. 23 Ole Miss – 7:00 p.m. ET
Line: Mississippi -8.5, Total: 141
• Trends:
• Under is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings in Mississippi.
• Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings.
• Underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
• Road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Trip Overview
The Trip
When most people think of Utah, what comes to mind are colorful deserts, deep powder skiing, or maybe crusty salt flats. Few have ever heard of the Uinta Mountains. Ok, find a map. Locate Salt Lake City and look to the east. See that big blank spot as you head toward Colorado? Here are the Uintas, the largest east-west mountain range in the lower 48 states. Backpacking through these mountains is an exceptional experience for many reasons. Dotted with clear alpine lakes and rich flora, the valleys are wide and filled with the perfect habitat for moose and other game. A hike to any of the rugged ridges provides vast views of the surroundings. The High Uintas Wilderness, where you'll spend your week, is located right in the center of all this grandeur.
Don't expect to see many other visitors. The land is home to a diverse collection of mammals, including lynx, black bears, cougars, river otters, bighorn sheep, and elk. Many large birds can be found such as great grey owls, golden eagles, ospreys, and ptarmigans. And if you're lucky, you'll see the wildflowers at their peak.
Much of your route will be above tree line. One great advantage of being at higher elevation is that working with map and compass is easier since you can see for miles. For those who are interested, the leaders will share route-finding duties. There will be several opportunities to hone your skills.
Are you ready to add a location to your hiking resume that will give you special bragging rights? We don't often offer trips to this area. Discover why the Uintas should be on everyone's life list of special places to visit. Some backpacking experience is important, but with patient leaders, extensive experience is not required. What you will need is good physical conditioning, a flexible attitude, and a sense of adventure. With these three traits, the rest will work out!
You'll be backpacking a 48-mile loop with two layover days. The distance covered each day will be eight to ten miles. The leader is happy to take a slow-but-steady approach to backpacking. Our goal is not to set any speed records, but to appreciate and relish the beautiful country through which we will be passing. On our layover days, you can explore peaks and alpine lakes in the area, play in nearby creeks or lakes, or simply stay in camp to relax, read, write, photograph, or draw. During the layover days, we'll also learn, practice, and hone our navigation skills.
The following is our planned itinerary for the week. However, our exact itinerary may change due to the abilities of the group or weather conditions to ensure your safety. Please consider this an approximate itinerary.
Day 1: Our outing will officially start at 10 a.m. We will meet at the trailhead at the East Fork of Blacks Fork. After introductions, divvying up gear, and chatting about the week ahead, we will be off on our adventure! We will backpack up the East Fork of Blacks Fork eight miles to a campsite just below tree line at 9,600 feet. Being our first day, this will feel challenging.
Day 2: We will continue southwest along the East Fork of Blacks Fork to Red Knob Pass, the lowest pass of the outing at 11,200 feet. Here we'll join the Highline Trail and travel east to Lambert Lake where we will camp our second night. Elevation gain for the day is around 1,400 feet, loss is around 600 feet, and mileage is nearly nine miles. Our camp will be near 11,000 feet.
Day 3: Today, we'll tackle our highest pass, Porcupine Pass, at 12,000 feet. But first we travel right at tree line though the scenic Oweep Creek area. Then we take on Porcupine Pass and finish near Tungsten Lake at 11,300 feet. Mileage for the day is about nine miles with 800 feet gained and about the same lost.
Day 4: We'll have many possibilities on our first layover day: relaxing in camp, exploring high alpine lakes peaks, or hiking to the top of the tallest peak in Utah, Kings Peak. Regardless of what we decide to do, there will be opportunity to learn and practice orienteering skills.
Day 5: We'll pack up and backpack north to the stunning Red Castle area, one of the most spectacular areas in the Uintas. We will cover 7.5 miles, gain 500 feet, and lose 1,000 feet. Our camp will be just below 11,000 feet.
Day 6: Our second layover day. We will explore the streams, lakes, and mountains in this scenic alpine setting.
Day 7: This will be a full day of backpacking that will be made easier by our light packs, strengthened legs, and dreams of a shower. We will backpack up to Bald Mountain and then come down to our cars where we left them a week before. This is our longest day with nearly 10 miles to cover and 2,000+ feet of elevation loss. We likely will be getting to our cars in the late afternoon.
Getting There
The closest major airport is in Salt Lake City. Driving directions to the trailhead will be provided to approved participants. The most direct route from Salt Lake City to the trailhead takes about three hours and involves several miles of driving on rough dirt roads. To avoid the rough roads, you may consider spending the night before the outing in Evanston, Wyoming, a 1.5-hour drive from Salt Lake City. The drive from Evanston to the trailhead takes about one hour and is on paved or better-maintained gravel roads.
If there is sufficient interest, the leaders will provide van transportation from the Salt Lake City airport or a nearby motel on a shared-cost basis.
Accommodations and Food
All meals are included from lunch on the first day through lunch on the last day. Meals include hearty, healthy, and varied breakfasts, simple lunches, and dinners. The leaders will work hard to make the food as light as possible to lessen the loads in our packs. We can easily accommodate vegetarians. For drinks, real coffee, various teas (caffeinated, green, herbal), and hot chocolate will be provided.
Responsibility for cooking and cleanup will be shared by all trip participants. We rotate cooking and cleaning responsibilities daily so everyone will get a chance at cooking for the group. The leaders will be close at hand at every meal should help or advice be needed.
Chlorine-based tablets for treating drinking water will be provided. Participants may bring water filters if they prefer, but this is not encouraged or necessary.
Trip Difficulty
This trip is rated "3" due to:
- The mileage (48 miles, with additional miles on layover days optional),
- The altitude of our route (more than half of the time will be spent above 10,000 feet),
- The elevation gains and losses and our camps being near or above 11,000 feet all but the first night.
Good pre-trip physical conditioning is vital for your safety and enjoyment. The rewards for this training will be immeasurable! If you do not live in a location at least a mile high, we recommend that you plan on arriving before the outing to help you adjust to the altitude.
July is typically a great time for backpacking in the Uintas. Temperatures during the day average in the 60s and 70s, and drop into the 40s or even near freezing at night. Remember that weather can be unpredictable at these high altitudes; be prepared for rain, snow, ice, sleet, and sun. Depending on the spring snowfall, we may encounter snowpack.
Equipment and Clothing
The leaders will provide a detailed equipment list to all approved participants. The Sierra Club provides cooking gear, food, water purification, and a first-aid kit to be used for emergencies only. You are responsible for everything else that you want/need. In addition to your personal gear, you will be carrying a share of the group food/gear -- 9-12 pounds, though your leaders will try to keep this as low as possible. Please keep the total weight for your personal gear below 25 pounds and make sure your backpack has enough internal capacity for the common gear, which will be the size of approximately two one-gallon milk jugs.
Try to minimize changes of clothing, which should be either synthetics or wool; no cotton clothing, please.
- For greatest detail, we rely on USGS 7.5-minute topographical maps. Our route is right along the edge of these quadrangles, so we will be using several topos. Our main maps are Mount Lovenia, Oweep Creek, and Mount Powell. We will start on the Lyman Lake quadrangle, and also pass through part of the Red Knob, and Garfield Basin quadrangle areas.
- For a view of the entire High Uinta Wilderness, National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map number 711 is entitled "High Uintas Wilderness, Uinta Mountains, Kings Peak"
- A good book covering the trails in the High Uintas is "High Uinta Trails" by Mel Davis and John Veranth.
During this trip, we will have several evening discussions on conservation and the need to protect this nation's magnificent wild lands. We will also discuss how you can get involved in a way that works for you: writing or calling your representatives, showing others the beauty of our natural places, or becoming politically active.
At the writing of this information, Presidential candidate Romney has indicated his support for a bill passed by the Utah state legislature and signed by the governor that would turn over all public lands in Utah to the state. This includes much of the area we'll visit. We'll definitely discuss the ramifications of such a proposal, also under consideration in other western states.
On this trip we'll discuss and practice Leave No Trace (
Sierra Club National Outings is an equal-opportunity provider and will operate under a permit from Ashley & Wasatch National Forest.

Based on a hunch and tips, News 8 medical reporter Janet St. James started investigating poisoning from denture paste, a product used by an estimated 10 million Americans.
At first, manufacturers denied their product posed any risk, despite the evidence presented in a series of News 8 reports.
Now after four years and dozens of stories the maker of the worlds' most popular denture adhesive has changed its tune, saying it will quit making the product because of serious health concerns.
Felt like an electric current going down my back. Then it started working down my leg. It's like my legs right now are topically numb.
That's how J.D. Jackson describes a nerve disorder called neuropathy that caused pain and misery every day. After months of medical detective work, doctors found a surprising cause.
It was literally zinc poisoning, said cancer specialist Dr. Vikas Bhushnan.
Medical experts discovered toxic levels of zinc in Super Poligrip, the denture paste Jackson had used daily for years.
When News 8 first told J.D. Jackson's story in 2006, most medical experts believed his case was isolated. After our report, hundreds of denture wearers contacted News 8, saying they, too, had unexplained neuropathy.
The problem with my feet is, they're almost totally dead, said denture wearer Gerald Elliott. I can't hardly feel.
Elliott was also diagnosed with zinc poisoning after showing a doctor our first report and demanding to be tested.
He, too, used Super Poligrip.
Denture adhesives are classified by the FDA as Class 1 medical devices, meaning they're considered the least risky. The FDA did not require ingredient labels for the product category.
After filing freedom of information requests, News 8 learned both Super Poligrip and Fixodent contain zinc. The mineral is used as an odor blocker and bonding agent.
Both manufacturers repeatedly denied their products posed any risk, saying denture adhesive is safe to use as directed.
Experts we interviewed weren't convinced that the problems reported by users of the product could be caused by something else.
A really good, thorough, well-controlled study needs to be done to rule it in or out, said dentist Dr. Charles Wakefield.
Michael Neerman, an investigator at the North Texas Poison Control center, published an article in a small trade publication called LabMedicine. He had independently diagnosed an unexplained illness in a long-time denture wearer as zinc poisoning.
Neerman suspected the problem might be widespread. I think a lot of people have it and they're not even aware of it, he said. If they do have the symptoms, maybe they don't have sufficient insurance to go in and have it tested.
Then, a study printed in the respected medical journal Neurololgy linked neuropathy in three patients to zinc overload from denture paste. That study was done in Dallas.
An estimated 35 million people use denture creams. Most who need them have poorly-fitting false teeth, like Sherry Mosley.
I really believe that there are a lot of people; poor people that haven't been able to have dentures every three years, like they suggest, she said. All you can do is use this stuff and then later find out that this stuff has caused so many problems, and it's just not right.
Because of a surge in complaints, the makers of Super Poligrip and Fixodent voluntarily updated their product labeling, even providing lengthy question-and-answer sections about zinc on their Web sites.
But there were still no warnings about a potential for zinc poisoning.
So 41-year-old Tammy Baugh used the products without worry. Today, she is nearly crippled.
If it would have been caught early, I sincerely think it wouldn't have got this bad, she said.
Baugh is now one of hundreds of denture wearers to sue.
The family of Norma Howard is filing a wrongful death lawsuit, claiming denture paste poisoning killed her.
A lot of my clients were complaining of symptoms and go to their doctors, and the doctors will simply ignore them; they are unaware of the zinc poisoning issues. They are unaware that these products even contain zinc, said Andy Alonso, part of a team of attorneys representing more than 100 plaintiffs in a mass tort. He credits News 8 reports for getting the word out.
Amid growing pressure and lawsuits, GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Super Poligrip, announced in February it was reformulating the product without zinc as an ingredient.
Glaxo acknowledged that their popular products could increase the risk of zinc poisoning, neuropathy and other neurological injuries in a company statement:
We are taking these actions because we have become aware of potential health problems associated with the long-term excessive use of our zinc-containing denture adhesive products.
The company sold more than $520 million in denture adhesive last year alone. In Japan, the product was deemed dangerous enough to issue a recall.
GSK has posted a video online, showing users how to properly apply the product so they don't swallow potentially dangerous amounts. The company now admits consumers with poorly-fitting false teeth often use too much, too often, swallowing the excess cream that oozes out.
Procter and Gamble continues to sell Fixodent made with zinc, maintaining the product is safe to use as directed. But the FDA is now considering whether to reclassify denture adhesives as a whole, since the products clearly can be absorbed by the body.
Still, many people tell us they can't convince their doctors of the potential danger.
I asked for the zinc test, and she told me like I told you, 'It's ridiculous.' She said it was a waste of money and time to do the zinc test, said denture-wearer Rachel King, who doesn't have the money to pay for a test without a doctor's order.
Tammy Baugh is angry the company didn't warn consumers years ago. I was mad that they didn't put anything on their boxes or labels to say that this could happen, she said.
Baugh and others who are suffering are still trying to get the word out that some denture adhesives do more harm than good.

Number coding scheme lifted in Metro Manila until Wednesday–MMDA
More News from Jamie Marie Elona
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines— The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reminded the public on Monday that the number coding scheme was suspended until Wednesday.
Charlie Nosares of the MMDA said that number coding was also lifted in the cities of Las Piñas and Makati throughout the long weekend to ensure that motorists have easy access to major roads.
The coding scheme bars vehicles from major thoroughfares in Metro Manila depending on the last digit of their plate numbers.
Under the scheme, vehicles with plate numbers ending in 1 or 2 on Monday, 3 or 4 on Tuesday, and 5 or 6 on Wednesday are not allowed on major thoroughfares from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Normal coding rules will resume on Thursday, Nosares said.

Silly Escalade
Coming home from work Friday afternoon and come to a stop light and a Modded white Escalade SUV pulls alongside me. Custom paint, rims, tires, and it sounds like it has custom exhaust. Light turns green and he gets into it so I do a tad also, he starts to get a little in front of me and I pop it up to about 3 to 4 grand and he sees the Chubby Bruisers front end rise up and pass his #%*. He gives up and stays behind me. Wise thing to do. I dont often do that but sometimes the Chubby Bruiser feels like being the bad boy on the block. I then took him to Oreillys and bought him some new toys. Took him home and washed him and waxed him.
Escalades should not mess with the Chubby Bruiser!!
Escalade... What was he thinking???? Yeah their fancy but.... they weigh a ton with all the crap they throw in them. Cool kill. These new hemi's are true monsters out of the box.
Nice kill. Thanks for the story. :D
Nice kill .
I dont know what it is about these dudes with Escalades, Navigators and Tahoes etc. trying to run with a HEMI...Clearly they dont have a clue...
They are all about lookin' good at a car shows with fancy wheels, & expensive audio systems. They call the weather station to see if there is going to be rain or even a misty fog before they leave the garage.
I saw a newer Hummer about a month ago, jacked up about 8 inches over stock, 4 shocks on each side on the front, nice exhaust for a Hummer, radio blaring, engine revving just to get attention, it just looked stupid to me, but the driver was smiling

Mavericks bug with Preview scrolling
Running Mavericks, if I open a single-page PDF document in Preview and size the window to 822+ pixels tall (800+ viewable document area) then the vertical scroll bar disappears (I have it set to always show) and the normal two-finger scrolling does not work in the up-and-down direction.
I can still flick two fingers to scroll, and if I scroll at a diagonal angle it will work, but it wont scroll normally up and down. Resizing the window to less than 822 pixels tall solves the problem, making the scroll bar reappear and the trackpad scroll gesture works properly.
Multi-page PDFs, as well as non-PDF files, scroll just fine. It is only single-page PDFs, and only when the window shows at least 800 vertical pixels of the document, that Preview stops vertical scrolling.
Does anyone else experience this?
|Dec 9, 2013, 01:23 PM
Workaround summary: use a wireless mouse, still has some visual bugs but at least you can scroll.
Yes, this happens. But it is most destructive with a wired apple mouse wheel mouse.
It seems that if you view a PDF document and the window is smaller than the "actual" size (click actual size in menu) of the document, then scrolling works. If you zoom in the document, it still works. But if expand the window beyond the "actual size" of the document (even if you are viewing a zoomed small section of a high res file so that you can't see the whole document ) then three things happen.
1) The scroll bars disappear *(even if you have always show scroll bars). This is a bug.
2) Vertical scrolling stops working when you use the apple mouse wheel mouse. This is a bug. Vertical scrolling continues to work with the apple wireless mouse (supermouse?). However in both cases the scroll bars are missing and this is a bug.
3) Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling continues to work, but does not show scroll bars and this is a bug.
I will note that the "jerky" scroll that has been reported on the apple boards still exists in mavericks and seems to be a bit worse with the wireless mouse.
|Feb 13, 2014, 05:41 AM
Has there been any news on this? It is still broken as far as I can see.
|Feb 14, 2014, 09:20 PM
|Feb 18, 2014, 02:54 PM
Not much I can do without owning a wireless mouse. I also don't use a trackpad. The only workaround I found is to reduce the window size, which usually will make the scrollbar appear.
Option + space will allow you to scroll by dragging with the "hand" tool. I used this often in Preview and can't believe it has been removed from the toolbar and only available by holding down a key combo. Does anyone know how to get this back in the toolbar? It's really disappointing to see Apple continually removing functionality that I use.
Not everyone owns or wants to own a trackpad or magic mouse!

Totally Rad Replichrome: A First Look | Thomas Fitzgerald
Up till now, when to comes to serious and accurate film simulation presets for Adobe's Lightroom and Camera Raw, for the longest time there has really only been one choice. That choice was Visual Supply company, commonly known as VSCO. Its range of film presets are superb, and accurately match a range of common print, and more recently, instant and slide film stocks. But now there is a new player in the film simulation market. It's a new product from an established name in the photo processing world. The company is Totally Rad, and they have been making actions and plug-ins for Photoshop for many years. Their new product is called "Replichrome" and it is the result of nearly three years worth of work. They carefully profiled cameras and film by shooting negative and scanning it, and then using that to create colour profiles for various digital cameras so that it matches the scanned negative. The result they argue, is an incredibly accurate simulation of traditional print film for digital photography. So what's it like in reality? I've been playing with it over the weekend and I have to say, it certainly seems accurate. It's been a while since I've shot film, and I can't definitively judge how close it is to actually shooting film. to do that I would have to actually go out and shoot the same scene on negative and digital and compare the processed results to the film. But it feels right. It looks like film, and as far as your audience is concerned, at the end of the day that's all that matters……

LR5 Presets by Rebecca Lily | Matt Day
Recently, I decided to leave the DSLR game and start shooting the Fuji X series exclusively for my job. Being a predominantly film shooter, I'm usually not into the color palette that most digital sensors have to offer. Well, the Fuji X-Pro 1 really changed that for me. I love the colors that I get straight out of camera with it, but it's still a digital sensor. There's always a small adjustment that can be made. Like I said, I shoot film all of the time. Though it's mostly black and white film, I still love shooting color film from time to time. Kodak Portra 160 and Fuji 400H are my two favorites. I always try to get that look digitally, but have never had good luck with it until now. A woman by the name of Rebecca Lily has created a set of presets to use in Lightroom, Rebecca's Pro Set II, specifically designed for the Fuji X users that want to give their images that little touch to emulate the film look. I try to do as little as possible when editing a digital photo and these presets work great for that. I've used the VSCO presets before and those are great, but this set is unique and has a LOT more to choose from. I'm particularly a fan of the Pastel choices that it has to offer….

Fuji Film or Fuji Digital? A Giveaway! | Rebecca Lily
Just for fun, I'm doing a little giveaway here on my blog! As a photographer who shoots both Fujifilm and a Fuji X-E1 digital camera, I've had great interest in emulating the pastel look of overexposed, pro lab scanned Fuji Pro 400H film for my digital work to get cohesive results with both mediums. What began as a personal quest has found its way into my upcoming Pro Set II for Lightroom and ACR, which will be released next week. So, here is the challenge: look at the above images (you can click to see them larger). Then post in the comments what you think each image was shot on, Fujifilm Pro 400H, or the Fuji X-E1 post-processed in Lightroom with one of my new Pro presets.
The first one to guess both correctly wins, and gets to choose between:
- 3 boxes (15 rolls) of 120 Fujifilm Pro 400H
- My new Lightroom & ACR Pro Set II …

Fuji X-Pro 1 and RAW Converter Part III | Jim Gamblin
As the title suggests this is the third and for the time being the last of my RAW converter comparisons. This time we will look at how each converter handles high ISO's files, conversions to black and white (monochrome), skin tones and leafy landscapes. In the first comparison I left all of the examples at the default settings. This time I tried to get the most out of each image in each of the seven converters. For these comparisons the converters will be presented in alphabetical order and not in preference. In addition to the six previously used converters, I have added Lightroom 4.4 and upgraded Iridient Developer to 2.2. These are not the only RAW converters out there. AccuRaw to name one, however I feel these are the most accessible and known programs, albeit a couple are Mac only….

Iridient Developer 2.2 (quick comparison) | vk.photo
Iridient Developer is arguably the best RAW converter for Fuji X-Trans raw files. About a month ago I tested Iridient 2.1 and was really impressed. My review is here. The latest 2.2 update brought additional features, improvements and bug fixes for Fujifilm X.
New Features:

VSCO Film 04 and New Fuji Presets | Stephen Ip
It's been nearly two months since I started using VSCO Film 02 to edit my X-Pro1 RAW files. My favorite preset, without a doubt, is Fuji Superia and its many variations. As good as the Superia presets are however, I still missed the Provia, Velvia, and Astia simulation modes of the X100 and X-Pro1. Well, it looks like I no longer have to choose between shooting in RAW and the using film modes because VSCO just released their slide film presets, VSCO Film 04, which includes emulations of these three films. Since I just purchased VSCO Film 04 yesterday, I haven't had much time to work with the presets yet. I will say this though, if you're using one of the newer Fujifilm X Series cameras and have been on the fence about VSCO, these are probably the presets to get. With that, I'll leave you with two images I made in San Francisco edited using the Provia, Velvia, and Astia presets (just hover over the images to see which is which)…..

I Slide | VSCO Film 04 | Patrick La Roque
Here's a little secret: some of my images in the past few weeks were experimentally processed with beta versions of VSCO Film 04. So you've already had a glimpse of some of these film emulations at work. This new pack is all about slide films (positive films if you prefer) from Kodak, Agfa and Fuji, including a few that should be well known to X shooters: Provia, Astia and Velvia. One of the great advantages of VSCO Film is how much you can tweak everything , so you can certainly tone down the dial on 04 presets, but then you'd be missing out… The number one reason to get this pack is colour — screaming, bleeding, dripping colour. And contrast. In your face contrast. It includes two instances of the king of colour itself Fuji Velvia (50 and 100), as well as the very rare, limited run Fuji Fortia SP. If you're into blues and reds, welcome to the Land O Sat…..

Testing Fuji's Focus Peaking (+ some tips) | vk.photo
Last week, finally, Fuji implemented a long awaited focus peaking (FP) function with their latest FW update. I consider this and the previous update in June (to use Selector button to move AF point) as the most important, at least for me. I have and using various old legacy lenses on a regular basis and those two functions are absolutely critical to achieve the best possible results, especially with fast lenses (f/1.8 or faster) when DOF is really thin and/or main focus point is not in the center of the frame. Once I installed all required updates (including 3.01:) I quickly realized that I can't use FP! I just couldn't clearly see FP highlights in the EVF without magnification! Yes, it was clear on LCD and at 3x mag in EVF, but not at default EVF settings. Then I recalled that several months ago, well before FP implementation, one of the fellow photographers (mark-vdi) suggested to change jpeg setting to increase visibility of what was called "shimmering" effect in a standard manual focus mode. Since I don't care about jpegs I went to Shooting Menu (red icons) # 2 and changed parameters as following: Sharpness=+2, Noise Reduction=-2. I also increased EVF brightness to +1 ( go to Set Up (blue icons) #2, LCD Brightness +1). But you have to do it while looking through the EVF otherwise you will increase LCD brightness instead. Checked again and voilá I could clear see highlights! Now I was ready for the field test…..

Adobe announces ACR 8.2 and Lightroom 5.2 release candidates |
Digital Photography Review
Adobe has announced the latest 'release candidates' of Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop Lightroom, adding support for ten cameras – including preliminary support for the Canon EOS 70D and Sony RX100 II. The release candidates of Adobe Camera Raw v8.2 and Lightroom 5.2 also fix some bugs introduced in the previous versions. ACR v8.2 acts only as a camera and lens profile update for users of Photoshop CS6. Both are available to download from the Adobe Labs site, with the usual reliability caveats about release candidates. A release candidate of DNG converter 8.2 is also available….

Mine makes vowel sounds but no consonants yet. She is quiet a lot of the time. Not a big talker yet.
How much is your baby "talking?"
Posted 09/20/2013
Posted 09/20/2013
My now 12 year old was like that as an infant, not a big talker. Even as a toddler she didn't talk anywhere near as much as other babies. My nephew is 3 months older than her and he was talking in complete sentences by the age of 2, so it was difficult not to compare. We had her hearing tested a couple times and she was within normal range. She really just wanted to observe and take everything in. She speaks perfectly well now.
Sittin' out with my tit out.

My LO just makes random noises..I mean how do you really answer that? I don't count how many times he goes, "ooo" during the day. I guess a good bit?

I guess I was looking for like how much on a developmental scale. Like vowel sounds, some consonants, babbling repeated consonants, etc. Or also, constant talker, fairly quiet, or like your random noises throughout the day which sounds pretty average.

My son randomly babbles a bit, mostly vowel sounds. He's not a huge talker.

She makes vowels and consonants, and will try to join conversations, or sometimes just chatter away on her own.
The funniest was at a party with a bunch of adults sitting in a circle talking and she just joined in at the same volume.
But I doubt all babies are that chatty...everyone is different. We talk to her a lot, not sure if that ccontributed?

My son said dadada twice yesterday ! But that was the first and only time I'm sure I'll hear more soon . It was exciting .. Every baby is different tho .

My lo isn't a big talker normally but today he was a chatterbox! Both vowels and consonants.
Posted 09/21/2013
My daughter said da da da da once and yells ma ma often. She also says hi and hey. But that's all. We talk to her and encourage her to talk seems to be working.
Posted 09/21/2013
My daughter doesn't ever shut up! Hahaha! She is a huge talker. She especially loves to talk at night when she is fighting sleep. She happily screams and skretches a lot too. She makes vowels and m's n's g's and d's. once my husband was yelling "hey!" from the kitchen, she turned over her shoulder towards him and yelled "ey!" right back. My daughter is a wild child though. She talks to me from the backseat during all our car rides. I just always let her say her piece and talk away, I just occasionally chime in with an "oh yea?" Or "I'm so glad you told me" She enjoys when we interact and talk back to her. When she's quiet, I get suspicious.

How a graduate student turned an indifferent professor and a cold-shouldered town around to embrace one of its most famous sons, and snowballed a small 2009 bicentennial tribute into 2014's spectacular Poe public art statue, "Poe Returning to Boston". It's been a ride, Eddy, but welcome home!
Poe leaving a trail of his work permanently embedded in the streets as part of Boston.
On October 5th, 2014, I stood with a group of Edgar Allan Poe enthusiasts on the sidewalk of Edgar Allan Poe Square in downtown Boston. The buzzing crowd continuously morphed and shifted like a school of fish, nimbly swelling and changing its shape. People swayed and fidgeted to get a better view of a figure draped in a heavy black cloth.
So, I of course had nothing to do with Poe's birth in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19th, 1809. I also had no hand in Poe's literary genius or his longstanding popularity. However, I am immensely honored to say that I played a small role in his homecoming in 2014. It was an event over five years (or, you could say 205 years) in the making.

CHENNAI: Matthew Hayden arrived here from Australia on Thursday morning. The former Australian opener is among the overseas stars of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
"Hayden was feeling a little tired after the long journey. He will join practice on Friday morning," said CSK manager Russell Radhakrishnan.
Hayden opened with success for CSK in the initial stages of the IPL last season before joining the Australian team.
CSK had practice sessions at Chepauk (in the morning) and IC-Guru Nanak (on the centre wicket).
"The team will fly to Durban from Johannesburg on April 9. The Super Kings will train at Durban before the competition begins on April 18. One cannot say Durban that will be our base. Given the nature of the competition, no team will be able to have a base," said Russell.
V.B. Chandrasekar, who heads CSK's cricketing operations, said all-rounder Andrew Flintoff would join the team around April 15 in South Africa after completing his England duties in the Caribbean.
"Michael Hussey will miss the first nine games of the league. He will join the squad in the second week of May," said Chandrasekar.
The CSK squad for the IPL is expected to be announced on Friday.
"Initially, we would be carrying more players with us for the camp in South Africa before pruning the squad. The idea is to enable the cricketers get familiar with the conditions so that they are ready as and when we need them," said Chandrasekar.
Given the IPL schedule, CSK might have to call on replacements as the competition progresses.
Meanwhile, CSK officials were tight-lipped over the fitness of captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The mood, however, is one of optimism. — Special Correspondent

Telling the Truth: Why Our Schools, Our Culture, and Our Country Have Stopped Making Sense- and What We Can Do about It
According to Lynne V. Cheney, American culture and society are under the attack of a relativism that seeks to undermine the importance of truth. A former head of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), she argues that contemporary movements such as multiculturalism, radical feminism, political correctness, and critical race theory have adversely affected the sociopolitical pillars of the United States. Cheney contends that academics, writers, and journalists have created a moral and intellectual crisis by subverting truth for the benefit of "politically useful views."
In her latest book, Telling the Truth: Why Our Schools, Our Culture, and Our Country Have Stopped Making Sense-and What We Can Do About It (1995), Cheney illustrates how the "war on objective truth" is being waged on several fronts: schools, workplaces, college campuses, and the media. Moreover, Cheney details what she believes to be the complicity of federal and state government agencies in funding this onslaught on truth.
Cheney is currently the W. H. Brady, Jr. Distinguished Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)-a nonpartisan research institute focusing on domestic and international issues. She also serves as the chairman of both the Committee to Review National Standards and the National Alumni Forum. A prominent conservative spokesperson, she has written on American education and culture, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Time. She cohosts CNN's Sunday Crossfire and she has been a guest on The Today Show, This Week with David Brinkley, The MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour, and Firing Line.
A former senior editor at Washingtonian magazine, Cheney holds a Ph.D. in English and has taught at several colleges and universities. She has authored two books and coauthored two others, including Kings of the Hill: How Nine Powerful Men Changed the Course of American History forthcoming (1996), a history of leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives, which she wrote with her husband, former Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney.

Former wearing, ing, pole dancing, pushing, survivor & single mama extraordinaire to .
Now that's a mouthful!!! & follow it!
Cappucinosmom, I used to teach in Harlem. The area where I worked was predominantly Afr.American but has a quickly growing African population.
Yes- I did notice a lot of ill treatment toward Africans by Afr. Americans, even by students in my school (obviously learning it from their parents). I'm not sure what it stems from, but there's a lot of animosity there. More than once, I had to have the whole "Black Americans come from Africa" teachable moment. I was told by several students that they didn't "know nothing about no Africa". Out of the mouths of babes come the voices of their parents.
Mama to 9 so far:Mother of Joey (20), Dominick (13), Abigail (11), Angelo (8), Mylee (6), Delainey (3), Colton (2) and Baby 8 and Baby 9 coming sometime in July 2013. If evolution were true, mothers would have three arms!
I feel like maybe that has more room for misconceptions and tensions just because it is so much more emotionally charged a history.

Con's colorful to the end
Pop-culture fest wraps another sold-out year
End times?
For the second straight year, 125,000 attendees thronged the San Diego Convention Center, which witnessed sold-out crowds each day. Still, rumblings persist that the show will leave town when its contract with San Diego expires in 2012. Conspiracy buffs, then, were gob-smacked by the massive banner hanging in the center's lobby.
"Only 3 Comic-Cons Left," it read. "2012 is Coming."
On closer inspection, the banner proved to be promoting Roland Emmerich's latest global catastro-film. The writer/director/producer has previously wreaked havoc with "The Day After Tomorrow," "Godzilla" and "Independence Day."
But as savvy comic book readers know, there's text and then there's subtext.

male v femaleThis was written by a guy... it's pretty damn smart. Girls -- Have a sense of humor!
"I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...
"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit."
We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all
dear, let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, "WHAT?"
I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her."
