This collection examines the role and value of rights in divided and post-conflict societies, approaching the subject from a comparative and theoretical perspective. Societies emerging from violent conflict often opt for a bill of rights as part of a wider package of constitutional reform. Where conflict is fuelled by longstanding ethno-national divisions, these divisions are often addressed through group-differentiated rights. Recent constitutional settlements have highlighted the difficulties in drafting a bill of rights in divided/post-conflict societies, where the aim of promoting unity is frequently in tension with the need to accommodate difference. In such cases, a bill of rights might be a rallying point around which both minorities and the majority can articulate a common vision for a shared society. Conversely, a bill of rights might provide merely another venue in which to play out familiar conflicts, further dividing an already divided society. The central questions that animate the collection are: (1) Can constitutional rights provide a basis for unity and a common 'human rights culture' in divided societies? If so, how? (2) To what extent should divided societies opt for a universalistic package of rights protections, or should the rights be tailored to the specific circumstances of a divided society, providing for special group-sensitive protections for minorities? (3) Is a divided society more or less likely to adopt a bill of rights? (4) How does the judiciary figure in the management or resolution of ethno-national conflict? (5) What are the general theoretical and philosophical issues at stake in a rights-based approach to the management or resolution of ethno-national divisions or other conflicts?

On January 31st, 2014, Jim Garrow once again pulled something out of the headlines and tried to present it as proof that President Obama tried to exterminate the entire U.S. population with nuclear bombs, followed by his usual call to have Obama imprisoned and/or murdered.
Last time, it was the death of hundreds of dolphins in South Carolina, which Garrow insinuated was probably due to exposure to radiation even though it was already known to be lung disease caused by exposure to oil during the B.P. oil spill.
This time, Garrow is claiming, once again via his Facebook page, that a massive proficiency test cheating scandal in the Air Force's nuclear weapons corps are lies created by the Obama administration to cover up Garrow's fantasy nuclear plot.
"'I told you so', seems so trite when we face the illusion and dis-information of the Obama regime," he writes. "No mention of the attempted destruction of America by the use of an EMP device? No mention of the heroes who refused to allow it to happen and took a bullet for us, that ended their careers. But we hear about the 2 Generals and an Admiral being relieved of duty for 'moral pulchritude' and phony charges. When the first 34 officers who backed these 3 heroes up were dismissed, again we heard crickets about the truth. The Obama spin was repeated verbatim as if it were reality. And now the other 92 officers get shown the door."
Of note, Garrow has changed his story again. He has consistently wavered between attributing the "failure" of the nuclear plot to anonymous military heroes or God.
Garrow also claims that Obama wanted to nuke the country in order to realize the goals of Agenda 21 — a non-binding document on sustainable development goals: "Obama in his unflappable attempt to become the dictator of all he surveys and to assure that the elite would survive after an attempt to make America 'sustainable', is following the demand of the United Nations Agenda 21. This Nazi outrage outlines in it a recommended population control and depopulation of a majority of those alive today."
Because we all know how good nuclear Armageddon would be for the environment.

Background: Increased plasma homocysteine levels have been described as an independent risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying pathophysiology is unclear. Objective: This single-center, cross-sectional, correlational study analyzed homocysteine metabolism in 60 AD patients and 60 control subjects. Methods: Fasting plasma levels of vitamin B(12), folate and homocysteine as well as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of folate derivates, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and homocysteine were measured. In addition, the apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype was determined. Results: As expected, the APOE4 allele was significantly overrepresented in AD patients compared with controls (p < 0.001). Homocysteine plasma levels in the highest quartile were more frequent in the AD patients than in the controls (p = 0.008). In addition, AD patients had significantly lower CSF levels of the methyl group donor SAM (193 +/- 31 vs. 207 +/- 37 nmol/l; p = 0.032). Accordingly, the SAM/SAH ratio, which represents the methylation capacity, was significantly lower in the CSF of the AD patients (7.6 +/- 2.4 vs. 9.1 +/- 2.8; p = 0.003). Further, explorative analysis of all subjects showed that CSF SAM levels were lower in carriers of the APOE4 allele compared with noncarriers (189 +/- 30 vs. 207 +/- 36 nmol/l; p = 0.010). Of the individuals with CSF SAM levels in the lowest quartile, 63% carried the APOE4 allele compared with 17% of the individuals with CSF SAM levels in the highest quartile (Pearson: chi(2) = 9.9; p = 0.002; odds ratio 0.126, 95% confidence interval 0.32-0.49). Conclusion: These data suggest that AD is associated with lower CSF SAM levels and that this is at least partly due to an association of the APOE4 allele with reduced SAM levels in the CSF.

Another day, another poll, another ominous sign for the Democratic Party. The latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll out Monday shows Pres. Barack Obama's overall approval rating at 41%.
The poll showing the president's anemic approval rating also shows just one in four adults believe the administration's policies are increasing economic opportunity for people like them. Mr. Obama is weakest in the South where seven Senate Democrat incumbents are in trouble or considered tossups in midterm elections races.
On the other hand, Republicans, who are defending far fewer seats than Democrats, only need to win six seats to take back control of the U.S. Senate in November. Adding to Democrats midterm woes, industry analysts say insurance premiums are likely to increase significantly for 2015, hitting taxpayers and voters in the pocketbook during an especially slow economic recovery. Meanwhile, the price of gas at the pump in California is above $4 per gallon, food costs have accelerated as of late and inflation is creeping upward.
The poll's results are from the 20th quarterly Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor Poll conducted by the Strategic Communications Practice of FTI Consulting. The extensive poll in its entirety, which explored Americans' views on how to drive social and political change, will be published next month in National Journal's magazine.
While some Democrats may take comfort in knowing that Congress received a meager 11% approval rating in the poll, Democrats have controlled the Senate throughout Mr. Obama's tenure and congressional ratings don't usually influence constituents and districts as much as presidential polls and policies.
The heartland poll showed 52% of Americans disapprove of Mr. Obama's overall performance as president, with 39% strongly disapproving of his performance. The "strongly disapprove" number garnered by Mr. Obama nearly doubles the 21% who strongly approve.
Under Democratic Sen. leader Harry Reid, the U.S. Senate did not bother to produce a national budget for five years, which some say contributes to the especially poor ratings of Congress.
However, Democrats point to budget reductions favored by Republicans to control a $16 trillion runaway deficit as being too stringent.
Foreign policy, forecast to be one of the president's strong points, is instead working against the administration with the Middle East peace negotiations completely stalled, Russia threatening war and U.S. efforts in Afghanistan overshadowed by a Taliban resurgence.
The American people, according to polls, largely perceive U.S. foreign policy under the administration as chaotic and reactionary, which is one reason Democrats are especially nervous about the situation in Ukraine.
In addition, analysts say Obamacare, the administration's most identifiable legislative accomplishment, is not helping Senate Democrats in close races. The expansive government program was pushed through by Democrats in a bitterly, partisan 2010 Congress without a single Republican vote from the House or Senate.

8 and 9 February 1862 • Carson City, Nev. Terr.
Carson City, Feb. 8, 1862.
My Dear Mother: and Sister:
By George, Pamela, I begin to fear that I have invoked a Spirit of ‸some‸ kind or other which I will find some difficulty in laying. I wasn't much terrified by your growing inclinations, but when you begin to call presentiments to your aid, I confess that I "weaken." Mr. Moffett is right, as I said before—and I am not much afraid of his going wrong. Men are easily dealt with—but when you get the women started, you are in for it, you know. But I have decided on two things, viz: Any of you, or all of you, may live in California, for that is the Garden of Eden reproduced—but you shall never live in Nevada; and secondly, none of you, save Mr. Moffett, shall ever cross the Plains. If you were only going to Denver, Pike's Peak, a little matter of 700 miles from St. Joe, you might take the coach, and I wouldn't say a word. But I consider it over 2,000 miles from St. Joe to Carson, and the first 6 or 800 miles is mere Fourth of July, compared to the balance of the route. But Lord bless you, a man enjoys every foot of it. If you ever come here or to California, it must be by sea, you know.1 Mr. Moffett must come by overland coach, though, by all means. He would consider it the jolliest little trip he ever took in his life. Either June, July or August are the proper months to make the journey in. He could not suffer from heat, and three or four heavy army blankets would make the cold nights comfortable. If the coach were full of passengers, two good blankets would probably be sufficient. If he comes, and b[r]ings plenty of money, and fails to invest it to his entire satisfaction, I will prophecy no more.
But I will tell you a few things which you wouldn't have found out if I hadn't got myself into this scrape. I expect to return to St. Louis in July—per steamer. I don't say that I will return then, or that I shall be able to do it—but I expect to—you bet. I came down here from Humboldt, in order to look after our Esmeralda interests, & my sore-backed horse and the bad roads have prevented me from making the journey. Yesterday, one of my old Esmeralda friends, Bob Howland, arrived here, and I have had a talk with him. He owns with me in the "Horatio and Derby" ledge. He says our tunnel is in 52 feet, and a small stream of water has been struck, which bids fair to become a "big thing" by the time the ledge is reached—sufficient to supply a mill. Now, if you knew anything of the value of water, here, you would perceive at a glance that if the water should [ al amount ]to 50 or 100 inches, we wouldn't care whether school kept or not. If the ledge should prove to be worthless, we'd sell the water for money enough to give us quite a lift. But you see, the ledge will not prove to be worthless. We have located, near by, a fine site for a mill; and when we strike the ledge, you know, we'll have a mill-site, water power and pay-rock, all handy. Then we shan't care whether we have capital or not. Mill-folks will build us a mill, and wait for their pay. If nothing goes wrong, we'll strike the ledge in June—and if we do, I'll be home in July, you know.2
So, just keep your shirt on, Pamela, until I come. Don't you know that undemonstrated human calculations won't do to bet on? Don't you know that I have only talked, as yet, but proved nothing? Don't you know that I have expended money in this country but have made none myself? Don't you know that I [ ne have ]never held in my hands a gold or silver bar that belonged to me? Don't you know that [its ]all talk and no cider so far? Don't you know that people who always feel jolly, no matter where they are or what happens to them—who [ w have ]the organ of Hope preposterously developed—who are endowed with an uncongealable sanguine temperament3—who never feel concerned about the price of corn—and who cannot, by any possibility, discover any but the bright side of a picture—are very apt to go to extremes, and exaggerate, with [40-horse ]microscopic power? Of course I never tried to raise these suspicions in your mind, but [ y then ]your knowledge of ‸the fact that‸ some people's poor frail human nature is a sort of crazy institution anyhow, ought to have suggested them to you. Now, if I hadn't ‸thoughtlessly‸ got you into the notion of coming out here, and thereby got myself into a scrape, I wouldn't have given you that highly-colored paragraph about the mill, &c., because, you know, if that pretty little picture should fail, and wash out, and go to the Devil generally, it wouldn't cost me the loss of an hour's sleep, but you fellows would be as much distressed on my account as I could possibly be if "circumstances beyond my control" should ‸were to‸ prevent my being present at my own funeral. But—but—
"In the bright lexicon of youth,
There's no such word as Fail"—
and I'll prove it!4
And look here. I came near forgetting it. Don't you say a word to me about "trains" across the plains.5 Because I am down on that arrangement. That sort of thing is "played out," you know. The Overland Coach or the Mail Steamer is the thing.
You want to know something about the route between California and Nevada Territory? Suppose you take my word for it, that it is exceedingly jolly. Or [take, ]for a winter view, J. Ross Brown's picture, in Harper's Monthly, of pack mules, tumbling fifteen hundred feet down the side of a mountain.6 Why bless you, there's scenery on that route. You can stand on some of those noble peaks and see [Jerusalem ]and the Holy Land. And you can start a boulder, and [ watch send ]it tearing up the earth and crashing [ th over ]trees—down—down—down—to the very devil, Madam. And you would probably stand up there and look, and stare and wonder at the magnificence spread out before you till you starved to death, if let alone. But you should take some one along to keep you moving, you know. And the way to make that journey is not by coach, because, in that case, be you [ man ‸male‸ ]or [ woman, ‸female,‸ ] male or [ fe ‸man or woman,‸ you ]would be eternally scared to death, at the prospect of rolling down a mountain, and it would take up so much of your time to enjoy that sort of thing, you know, that you couldn't pay much attention to the scenery. But just take the steamer to Sacramento City, then the railroad to [ f Folsom], then buy a good horse and shin it for the mountains. You wouldn't lose anything, then, because the horse would be worth as much or more here than he cost you in California.
Since you [want to ]know, I will inform you that an eight-stamp [water-mill ], put up and ready for business would cost about $10,000 to $12,000. Then, the water to run it with would cost from $1,000 to [ $25,000, ] ‸$30,000—and even more,‸ according to the [location. What ]I mean by that, is, that water powers in this vicinity, are immensely valuable. So, also, in Esmeralda. But Humboldt is a new country, and things don't cost [so much ]there yet. I saw a good water power sold there for $75000. But here is the way the thing is managed. A man with a good water power on Carson river will lean his axe up against a tree (provided you find him chopping cord-wood at [ $2 $4 ]a day,) and [talking ]his chalk pipe out of his mouth to afford him an opportunity to spit, and answer your questions, will look you coolly in the face and tell you his little property is worth forty or fifty-thousand dollars! But you can easily fix him, you know. You tell him that you'll build a quartz mill on his property, and make him a fourth or a third, or a half owner in said mill in consideration of the privilege of using said property—and that will bring him to his milk in a jiffy.7 So he spits on his hands, and goes in again with his axe, until the mill is finished, when lo! out pops the quondam [wood-chopper ], arrayed in purple and fine linen, and prepared to deal in bank-stock, or bet on the races, or take governments loans, with an air, as to the amount, of the most don't-care-a-d—n-dest ‸unconcern‸ that you can conceive of, Madam. The reason why I tell Mr. Moffett to bring money with him is, because my experience here has been to this effect: that 999 men out of every 1000 who come into this Territory, make this remark after they have been here long enough to look around a little: "By George, if I just had a thousand dollars—I'd be all right!" Now there's the "Horatio," for instance. There are five or six shareholders in it, and I know I could buy half of [ there their ]interests at, say $20 per foot, now that flour is worth $50 per barrel and they are pressed for money. But I am hard up myself, and can't buy—and in June they'll strike the ledge, and then "good-bye canary," I can't get it for love or money. Twenty dollars a foot! Think of it. For ground that is proven to be [rich. S Twenty ]dollars, Madam—and we wouldn't part with a foot of our 75 for five times the sum.8 So it will be in Humboldt next summer. The boys will get pushed and sell ground [ wort for ]a song that is worth a fortune. But I am at the helm, now. I have convinced Orion that he hasn't business talent enough to carry on a peanut stand, and he has solemnly promised me that he will meddle no more with mining, or other matters not connected with the Secretary's office. So, you see, if mines are to be bought or sold, or tunnels run or shafts sunk, parties have to come to me—and me only. I'm the "firm," you know.
"How long does it take one of those infernal trains to go through?" Well, anywhere between three and five months.
Tell Margaret9 that if you ever come to live in California, that you can promise her a home for a hundred years, and a bully one—but she wouldn't like this country. Some people are malicious enough to think that if the devil were set at liberty and told to confine himself to Nevada Territory, that he would come here and loaf sadly around, awhile, and then get [ s homesick ]and go back to hell again. But I hardly believe it, you know. I am saying, mind you, that Margaret wouldn't like the country, perhaps—nor the devil either, for that [matter, — ]or any other man—but I like it. When it rains here, it [ does never ]lets up till it has done all the raining it has got ‸to‸ do—and after that, there's a dry spell, you bet. Why, I have had my whiskers and moustaches so full of alkali dust that you'd have thought I worked in a starch factory and boarded in a flour barrel. And it is very healthy here. The funeral bell, with its sad accompaniments of tearful eyes, and drooping heads, and [ink blot] (blast such a pen, anyhow—I do think they get up pens in this country that would make the oldest man in the world cuss—if he hadn't, like me, promised that he [wouldn't,). ]But [its ]healthy here, you know, if you wear a heavy beard. That is what I was trying to come at.
Since we [haven't been ]here there has not been a fire—although the houses are built of wood. They "holler" fire sometimes, though, but I am always too late to see the smoke before the ‸fire‸ [ w is ]out, if they ever have any. Now they raised a yell here in front of the office a moment ago. I put away my papers, and locked up everything of value, and changed my [ coat, boots, ]and pulled off my coat, and went and got a bucket of water, and came back to see what the matter [was ], remarking to myself, "I guess I'll be on hand this time, any way." But I met a friend on our pavement, and he said, "Where you been? Fire's out half an hour ago. Next door, you know." (Some people appear to think other people are Telegraphs. But I made a bucket of water by the operation). Orion was up at the Governor's.
Why, Sammy is a regular prodigy. "Tries to say almost every word you tell him." But he was further advanced than that, Madam, before I left home—for he used to try to play on the piano. Now let me give you some advice. As soon as he is old enough to understand you, just tell him, "Now, my boy, every time that you allow another boy to lam you, I'll lam you myself; and whenever a boy lams you, and you fail to pitch into that boy the very next time you see him, and lam him, I'll lam you twice." And you'll never be sorry for it. Pa wouldn't allow us to fight, and next month Orion will be Governor, in the Governor's absence,10 and then he'll be sorry that his education was so much neglected. Now, you should never despise good advice, you know, and that is what I am giving you when I warn you to teach Sammy to fight, with the same care that you teach him to pray. If he don't learn it when he is a boy, he'll never learn it afterwards, and it will gain him more respect than [ Go any ]other accomplishment he can acquire.
Ma says Axtell was above "suspition"—but I have searched through Webster's Unabridged, and can't find the word. However, it's of no consequence—I hope he got down safely. I knew Axtell and his wife as well as I know Dan Haines.11 Mrs. A. once tried to embarrass me in the presence of company by asking me to name her baby, when she was well aware that I didn't know the [ na sex ]of that Phenomenon. But I told her to call it Frances, and [spell ]it to suit herself. That was about 9 years ago, and Axtell had no property, and could hardly support his family by his earnings. He was a pious cuss, though. Member of Margaret Sexton's church.
And Ma says "it looks like a man't can't hold public office and be honest." Why, certainly not, Madam. A man can't hold public office and be honest. It is like a white man attempting to play Washoe Injun—that is, trying to swallow [cockroaches ]and grasshoppers alive and kicking—[ the it ]can't be did, you know. Lord bless you, Madam it is a common practice with Orion to go about town stealing little things that happen to be lying around loose. And I don't remember having heard him speak the truth since [ I have we have ] been in Nevada. He even tries to prevail upon me to do these things, Ma, but I wasn't brought up in that way, you know. You showed the public what you could do in that line when you raised me, [ you know. Madam. ]But then you ought to have raised me first, ma mère, [ and so that ] Orion could have had the benefit of my example. Do you know that he stole all the stamps out [of] an 8-stamp quartz mill one night, and brought them home under his over-coat and hid them in the back room? That "let me out," you know.
Much obliged for the picture of Camp Benton. But it don't look like the old Fair Grounds to me.12 Pamela, if you are still anxious [to] come here, I will answer all your questions next time.
I wrote and mailed a letter to Zeb to-day, (the 9th of February[)].13
Yrs &c.
[in margin:] Beck Jolly will read Ma's Chinese letter for her.14
Explanatory Notes | Textual Commentary
Your coming by the stage will meet my approbation, if
Billy's wife [Mary Clagett] or some
other well known family, or your brother John
[Stotts] comes with you, but no other way. . .
. Traveling across the plains sometimes develops the d—l
in people. But of all ways of traveling for a woman, the very last I
have even tried is a stage. Half the time for three weeks it will be
so dark in the stage you can't see your hand before you.
The stage is rolling and tumbling, you may be asleep, your man
company awake, but pretending to be asleep. His hand wanders over
you. If you catch him he snores or yawns sleepily, and you
don't know whether he was asleep or awake. They say the
worst enemy a woman has is opportunity, and
if I didn't know you to be incorruptible, I would be
almost doubtful whether to sleep with you or not, if you came three
weeks of dark nights, through a wilderness, with only a man
acquaintance. (CU-MARK)

How do you tell if it's really asthma?

How do you tell if it's really asthma?
How do you tell the difference between asthma, a regular cough from being sick, and plain old-fashioned anxiety/neuroticism?
Today I had major coughing bouts every two hours or so, when I had a phone conversation, or talked to my husband, and when I cooked dinner for him. The cough was deep, long, impossible to stop until it decided to let up on its own, and felt very wheezy to me. And my chest hurt afterwards. Normally I'd use the inhaler if I felt like that and not think twice about it, but this was six times in one day! Since last week I'm on symbicort, ventolin, a cough pill, and levaquin. Shouldn't all that medication be preventing this? I'm having problems 2 to 4 hours after using the ventolin, and it's supposed to last 6-8. But if I'm sitting quietly at my computer I'm fine apart from the chest soreness. Does this sound like I need to take further action, or wait it out for a few more days? I don't want to be neurotic about it, but should I be worried?

I've never pretend to be a geologist, my background being in marketing gas to downstream customers of all shapes and sizes: domestics to refineries and everyone in between. But when I first heard of shale gas in 2008, I immediately thought how (literally) on earth, could the hopeful and paradigm shifting news coming out of North America not be equally available worldwide?
A quick tour of what's happening outside of Europe recently, starting with China:
China has set a goal of producing 6.5 billion cubic meters of shale gas a year by the end of 2015 as part of a five-year plan to increase the country's capacity to tap the unconventional resource, China's top energy authority said on Friday.
If the country by 2015 makes the technological innovations needed to better explore for and recover shale gas, its annual output of the resource is expected to increase to as much as 100 billion cu m by 2020, said Zhang Yuqing, head of the National Energy Administration's oil and gas department.
Production of this size inevitably makes recent nervousness about China's appetite for LNG well founded.
Take a hard look at China, Ian Nathan, a senior research analyst and specialist in global natural gas, LNG and national oil companies at Energy Intelligence in New York, urged a morning audience at an Arctic oil and gas conference in Calgary yesterday.
The market widely viewed as a sop for excess North American natural gas supplies is not a "bottomless sink" capable of absorbing limitless volumes of liquefied natural gas sold at premium prices, he said. "That window for Asian LNG exports may not be open indefinitely."
How long will it take for the UK economic policy to abandon it's view of high UK gas prices as inevitable cause of equally inevitable surging China LNG demand? Probably as long as the UK press to actually investigate a story instead of regurgitating self serving Gazprom-Centica-Ofgem value chain press releases. That could be a long wait.
Latest from China, this today from the WSJ. Banned from investing French pensioners money in France (they make up 14.3% of the CAC 40) Total invest in China shale projects.
French oil major Total SA is in talks with state-owned Sinopec Group on a joint venture to jointly explore for and produce shale gas in China, the company's chief executive said Sunday.
"We were waiting for those announcement…we already have a pre-agreement with Chinese companies…with Sinopec Group," CEO Christophe de Margerie said in an interview, referring to the more frequently used name for China Petrochemical Corp.
China's annual output of shale gas may skyrocket from virtually zero now to 6.5 billion cubic meters in 2015, and then to 60-100 billion cubic meters annually by 2020, if targets published in a government development plan for the unconventional gas announced Friday are hit.
What about the rest of the world? Who else is open for business?
South America is getting hot. Argentina is well known, but Colombia is evolving too:
Colombia, South America's third- largest producer of oil, expects this year's auction of so- called unconventional energy reserves to attract at least $500 million in investment.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA), Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), and Chevron Corp. (CVX) have shown interest in Colombia's reserves of gas trapped in shale rock and other unconventional sources, government Hydrocarbons Director Julio Cesar Vera Diaz said yesterday in an interview in Cartagena in northern Colombia.
Meanwhile Brazil's Petrobras is looking at unconventiona in Argentina and Uruguay.
The South African shale moratorium is not long for this world. The whites only hypocrites who run the anti shale movement will no longer provide an example to the green hypocrites of Europe who use the SA stoppage as justification for their calls for a European ban.
In another signal that South African authorities are warming to the need to exploit local reserves of shale gas, the National Planning Commission said yesterday that it saw natural gas providing "a rising share" of the energy mix because it was likely to be cheaper than exploring nuclear power options.
Hotting up quickly as shale producer is Australia. Various basins in central, southern and northern Australia are looking to be oil as well as gas plays. In Western Australia, they still need gas given the massive domestic energy requirements of the mining industry.
A RECENT decision by the West Australian Environment Minister to allow small-scale hydraulic fracturing in the Perth Basin without the need for environmental assessments could be a sign of things to come for unconventional gas resources, which some have tipped as the next energy frontier for the boom state.
The Perth Basin's tight gas fields could hold 9 trillion to 12 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas, and are located near existing pipelines, according to WA Department of Mines and Petroleum records.
The WA Basins have the potential to be a far larger energy source than the North-West Shelf
Shale gas is breaking out all over.
I'll do an update on Europe shortly, where the surprise is the country where things aren't happening. And it doesn't begin with F.

Anyone have any advice on a Sig Sauer P250? How well does it shoot, any issues over all thoughts?

It is not on the Calif. list of certified pistols for sale.
Posted 01 January 2009 - 09:13 AM
It is too new for them to do the "drop test". It looks like a great pistol.Darren
Posted 01 January 2009 - 09:24 AM
They will have to submit to the state of Calif. each one of the models in every configuration for the drop test and pay the state to do the testing. Sig will also have to make new magizines for the P250 to meet the 10rd max.
Posted 01 January 2009 - 10:00 AM
That figures.... We saw it on a show last night.. Looks like a sweet gun...
Posted 01 January 2009 - 10:08 AM
It looks like a sweet weapon----The pistol I want is not legal in CaliF. unless you are a LEO.
Posted 01 January 2009 - 10:34 AM
The hard part is finding a local LEO who owns the handgun you want and is willing to sell it via PPT.
Posted 01 January 2009 - 10:49 AM
Even if I found a LEO with the gun I want it can't be transfered PPT as it is not legal for sale in Calif. LEO's can get weapons that are not legal for sale to the general public under certian circumstances.
Posted 19 January 2009 - 10:08 PM
Not true, a P250 can be transferred via PPT to a non LEO but the over 10rd mags can not. So if a LEO was to sell one, an out of state resident brings one in and then later wants to sell it, a parent gifts one to you from out of state, these are ways one could acquire one in CA.

REVIEW: This Case is Gonna Kill Me by Phillipa Bornikova
The first in a legal-based urban fantasy series, This Case is Gonna Kill Me by Phillipa Bornikova is set in a world where the 'Powers' – vampires, werewolves and Álfar (elves) – have recently revealed themselves and have staked their claim on New York society.
Opening with main character Linnet Ellery's first day at her new job, the book gets off to a good start with the world building and background information about her place of work. Having recently graduated from law school, Linnet has gained a prestigious job at Ishmael, McGillary and Gold, a top law firm in the city. She has a sneaking suspicion that her connection to one of the partners, Shade Ishmael, helped her to secure the position, but this is never really explored in her first person narration. There is the passing inference that she might not have earned the job, but this is very much forgotten after the early chapters.
She is introduced to her new boss, Chip Westin, a seemingly disorganised man whose office is covered in sheets of paper relating to one particular divorce case which has stretched on for seventeen years. It is Linnet's job to help him finally resolve the case, with the wife seeking a share in her ex-husband's multi-million dollar company. As he is has since passed away, supposedly without a will, it is up to the firm to gain her a suitable settlement from the bosses at Securitech, an influential business which happens to be run by werewolves.
Chip appears to have several new leads to go on, but keeps the information locked in his head and has not yet trusted Linnet with his secrets. However, when they are both working late one night and are attacked by a werewolf, Linnet thinks there must be more to this divorce case than meets the eye. With Chip gone, and his information with him, she is left with a mountain of paperwork to sort through in pursuit of clues to resolve the case with the best result for both parties. She also has to contend with the trauma of experiencing the attack, as well as the amorous attentions of one of the firm's partners, seductive vampire, Ryan.
Then there are bitchy women in the office who haven't offered one kind gesture of welcome, as well as the unwanted attention of senior partner, Gold, who seems to think that she has no right to be there and would very much wish to see her fired. As she follows the leads left by Chip, Linnet is drawn into a dangerous investigation that sees her attacked more than once, with all clues pointing at Securitech. Enlisting the help of gorgeous Álfar, John O'Shea, who frequently works as the company's private detective, they set off to discover the truth behind the case and what secrets are worth killing for.
I liked the main plotline of this book, as it was interesting to learn about different legal terms and the experience of entering this cutthroat world of highly competitive business people. However, there were also too many subplots with very little relevance that I found a little pointless. For example, there was another divorce case that Linnet settled which only took up one scene and introduced characters which had no bearing on the Securitech case at all. Then there was Linnet's passion for horse riding, a tool manipulated by Ryan and then played on again with another irrelevant client. Although it was interesting to learn about different riding techniques, it felt like too much of distraction from the main plot tensions and was more about the character having fun rather than the reader.
I found it hard to connect with Linnet as a main character as a lot of good fortune seemed to fall into her lap, despite the attempts to assert her as a strong woman. Although she has her good moments in dealing with her co-workers, a lot of the time she is controlled and manipulated by the other characters without realising just how much. This was frustrating, especially as she kept leaning on the men in her life whenever she was attacked, with each one seeming to fall at her feet. Although the situation with Ryan is unexpected and handled well by Linnet, her connection with John felt too instantaneous.
As an Álfar, John was exceedingly beautiful, with the gentlemanly personality to match, but he didn't really progress as a character until the last quarter of the book. From here, the events felt rushed and far too convenient for my liking, with not enough build up between events. It went from action to action with barely any cooling off period, which didn't allow for much character development between John and Linnet. There seemed to be more exploration of minor characters than main ones, with everyone given some level of detail that wasn't entirely necessary.
There was one aspect of the book that I did really enjoy, being the world building as vampires, werewolves and Álfar supposedly revealed themselves thirty-odd years ago and were accepted into modern society. Of course, there were still those with prejudices, which is where Linnet's family life came in. She was adopted by vampires at the age of eight, in a deal her dad made, but still has contact with both her vampire father and her human parents. It was because of her vampire connections that she got ahead in life, with her adoptive father giving her everything she wanted, including horses. I'm hoping to find out more about the supernatural society in the next book, as neither vampires nor werewolves can Make a female into one of them, only choosing the males. Linnet enquires into this at one stage, so I get the feeling that we may learn more in future.
This book had the great premise of vampires and werewolves being out in the open and at the head of New York society, especially in Linnet's law firm. I thought this was let down by the writing style and by some of the impromptu events of the novel, particularly where Linnet's love life was concerned, despite the potential for a great story. Although there were several attacks, they were all expected and without any spectacular plot twists.

I raced out to my front door this morning to get my papers, and they didn't get delivered today! I am especially sad because rumors have been swirling about Idaho getting or not getting the regular "Twice the Value" Coupons… Since I don't have my papers, I am wondering what you Idaho Ladies received in your paper? Is there information about Coupons being Rounded up at Albertsons? For the rest of you in Washington, Oregon, ect., you should have received the Regular Twice the Value coupons… I will come back in a bit to work on Doubler Matchups, but for now HERE is the Weekly Matchups.
50 thoughts on "Albertsons Doublers?! What's Going On?!"
I have had that happen a couple times.. missing coupon inserts and missing doublers! It is so frustrating! I was missing one P&G and two doublers inserts yesterday and had a babysitter all lined up for this morning so I could get out and do my shopping.. had to postpone everything so that I could get my doublers and insert! Then when I called they pretty much told me that their sorter is "flawless" and doesn't make mistakes. Nice Post Register.. You are winning friends.. At least I got my coupons but I ended up having to drive 25 miles to go pick them up on my way to the store.
Elaine, if you call your newspaper they will probably replace your papers when you had the missing inserts. I get the Tacoma News Tribune and when you call customer service, there's an option for when you are missing sales ads (includes coupons). They know that's the reason you want your paper… call them when they open and let them know. There should have been 3 inserts in your paper this week.
I don't know why they can't just do it with our preferred card. That way they won't lose and Walmart won't gain. I'd still shop at Albertsons then, but the way it is now…uhm, not too sure.
I was thinking that same thing, if they would just link the doubler to our card it couldn't be used anywhere else!
Do you think that they will change this to include doubling $1 coupons if we all politely express our interest in that? Because it was the doubling $1 coupons that made doublers GREAT (In my opinion)
I'll never get free crackers, chips, hot dogs, lunchables, etc etc with just the rounding $0.24+ coupons up to a doller!
And I'm bummed because I talked to a cashier and an assistant manager on saturday and was assured that the $1 coupons would still double… Grrrrrr. So much for free Ritz Crackerfuls today!
So what do you think- if we made our voices known on the doubling of $1 coupons, do you think it will make a difference???
I gleefully voiced my opinion on Albertsons facebook page. Everyone should. Go here: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/Albertsons?ref=ts
we got doublers here in southern utah!
For those who got doublers, I think with those quaker coupons on redplum, it means free cereal.. or darn close
Tri-City Herald (Washington) has doublers.
can you use a previous Cataline to get 5 dressings and produce another Catalina?
Yep, you can! If you're in the doublers group, double the $1/2 (from the booklet) and the .35/1 to make it a $3 money-maker.
a little off topic…but the past few sundays i have only one coupon insert or sometimes NONE! is this something just happening in mountain home? I have gone to all the stores and the papers are the same. Guess i should just order them…but I'm sad. all i got today was p&g inserts.
I had the same problem when I started couponing. I called the newspaper company and they told me that they are only guaranteed enough coupons for the people with subscriptions. If they happen to be given extra coupons, then they end up in the newspapers that you can buy at the gas stations, etc. I signed up that day for a subscription!
thanks! guess i'll get off my butt and order!
Twin Falls got doublers. A little bummed too. Smiths is doing round up right now and I LOVE IT! So much easier because the computer does everything automatically and NO limits!
billings mt got doublers. kinda bummed – I wanted the roundup deal!!!
I live in Montana, and I don't know if there were doublers in the paper (since I don't get home delivery), but there weren't any at customer service like there usually are if they are available. I've noticed our Albertsons doesn't really follow the same schedule as anyone else. Sometimes we get ours the same as the other northwest stores, but not always. This summer it's been about once every 2-4 weeks though.
I'm in Helena, MT and I asked about what was going on with the doublers when checking out with my paper this morning. He handed me a doubler ad! They must be keeping them at check out now. He also said we are doing a new thing now too where we round up coupons to a dollar! What! we get both! Is this too good to be true?!?! Montanans, check this out and find out if this is true for you too!
Anyone know if spokane gopt doublers???
yes spokane did!! in fact it was like xmas some papers have multiples in them
Dial basics bar soap 3 pk or liquid hand soap, 9.375 oz = .99, use the .35/1 dial bar pack or liquid hand soap, rp 8/15,exp 10-1 to get it free
Looks like you got the details KCL! Bottom line….I want my doublers!
Opened my Sunday Idahostatesman to find NO Doublers from Albertsons. They are having The Great Manufacturer COUPONS Roundup. Starting today thru Tuesday(8/29-8/31) they will Round Up ALL coupons to a maximum of $1.00. In reading the fine print they have not limited these to their usual 3 but NO LIMIT was specified but does exclude FREE item coupons. This lady is gone to do some serious shopping!
Just the Treasure Valley got the new round up. I went down this morning and still scored some pretty sweet deals. Like the 30-cent Yoplait coupon is a $1 rounded-up so those were free. I still averaged 90% savings and with a bunch of free stuff. So, not a bad gig at all. You can do it all in one transaction, the computer automatically rounds it up to a dollar…if your coupon was 75-cents, it adds another line of 25-cents off.
I'm glad to hear the computer does it automatically. I was worried the cashiers would have to do it manually and that would have been really time consuming!
She did make a comment "oh, I don't know if we're supposed to take the black and white ones anymore" – one beeped on her…but she had a manager fix it and she went on. I hope that's not coming – one of my printers is B/W!
Oh and the deal with the Ball Park franks and the Doritos…that one the computer does it screwy where it takes the free Doritos price off the hot dogs and then when you try to use your hot dog coupon it won't take it. Had to get a manager for that.
No grief though. Still saved a good deal.
I'm happy.
All is well – happy Sunday!
Portland, OR got the normal doublers.
Idaho Falls, ID got twice the values!
I emailed you a copy of the ad… (at least the round up part)… yay for scanners!! Hope that helps!
Hey Becky, thanks for emailing it! Can you tell me which email you used? I can't find it… firstname.lastname@example.com works the best! Thanks again for taking the time to do that! 🙂
The insert states Boise, ID, Nampa, ID, and Ontario, OR. So everywhere else that normally gets Doubles should have, not just in these areas.
I live in Twin and we received twice the value coupons, OH HAPPY DAY!!!
So eastern Idaho and northern Idaho got doubles, but this area did not? Hmmmm…I'm not sure how to feel about that!!
Idaho Falls received the doublers and Wal-mart does not accept them in the Idaho Falls area
Pocatello received Twice the Value.
I live in Northern Idaho and we got twice the Value coupons.
my flyer says the following:

Coupns valled at $1 or more will be redeemed at face value excludes free item coupons
THANKS Krissy!!!!!!!!
I am actually really excited to try this one out!!
More to come after church
Yep in Boise here also and got the roundup flyer. I could see how sometimes it may be nice if we can use as many and sometimes there are coupons for like .35 cents BUT there are so many coupons that are $1.00 of 2 things so now we can't double them to make it better. Hmmm I hope this won't last.
Yes it's true no doublers in the Statesman! And the new coupon "Round up" is kind of disappointing since $1 coupon's just stay $1. Plus I was told by the checker that Albertson's has apparently redone their scanning computer program so now it instantly rounds up the coupon's so they don't have to, for instance it rounded up the Kraft dressing coupon from .35 to a $1 which was nice. However I had the worst experience at Albertson's today and think I will avoid that Alberstons from now on! I was doing the ballpark franks and dorito's scenerio and the checker kept telling me she could not adjust the coupon of $2 down to 1.99 because she could not "give" me the hot dogs for free, we went round and round and I finally just said I didn't want them then. She made me feel like I was trying to do something wrong, what a terrible way to start my day!
I've done this deal twice – earlier this week at one Albertsons and had no issues…it beeped and she fixed it. This morning it was a little different…it beeped, she struggled…called a manager and she took care of it. This is a great deal with it all being free – I'd try again and ask for a manager if there are issues.
We can all thank Walmart for ruining our doublers….grrrr!
Got my papers today with Albies Ad: Says 'The Great Coupon Round Up' All manufaccturer Q's (.25and up) to be $1…best part, doesn't say anything about a limit!
No doubles:( They are doing the coupon round up to $1.
Will one of you type up exactly what the ad says regarding the Doubling… I am curious if it's just certain days, if there is a limit of coupons they will double per transaction, if there is a limit of the identical coupons they will double, ect.
THANKS ladies!!
And remember, in certain situations this can be an AMAZING deal… Like the Kraft Dressing! Check this:
Kraft Salad Dressing $1.34
Buy 5, Receive a $5 Catalina
Use $.35/1 Peelie Coupons found on Product = $1.00/1
Pay $0.34 each, Receive a $5 Cat
Final price: HUGE MONEY MAKER!! 🙂
It will be an amazing deal with the Kraft dressing/.35cent coupon.
Also the Mento/.55cent coupon.
There is no limit to amount of coupons, I looked all over the ad.
It states any coupon under a dollar will be rounded up to $1.00.
The Great coupon Round Up!
Manufacturer Coupons round up to $1 .25 = $1
.50 = $1
.75 = $1
couons valued at .24 or less will be redeemed at quadruple the face value. Coupons valued at $1 or more will be redeemed at face value. Excludes Free item coupons.
Runs 3 days only
I live in Boise & my Albertson's ad says 3 days only manufacture coupons round up to $1.00 It doesn't say that there is a limit on how many. This is great. P.S. Love your website!
I live in Boise and received an Albertsons insert that says they will round-up coupons up to a dollar. I am so disappointed!!!! I want my doublers!!
Yep, I got doublers in my Oregonian that I purchased yesterday afternoon!

It might not be the fight you want, but there are things to like about the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight, which is all but signed, sealed and delivered for June 9 in Las Vegas.
ESPN's Dan Rafael reports that the Pacquiao side is all good with their terms for the bout and that Top Rank is certain the Bradley team will sign off on their particulars in short order.
Pacquiao has taken some heat in certain circles for taking on boxers some deem quite past their primes, including Ricky Hatton, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez, in recent years. That can't be said for Bradley; the 28 year-old Californian is 28-0, and should be at the peak of his form as an athlete. He has shown beyond-ample stamina as pro, and should push Pacman physically. That could prove a problem if indeed the Congressman's best days after in the rear view mirror.
Some will say that this style matchup benefits Pacquiao, as Bradley isn't a tricky type who makes a living off counterpunching, as Marquez does. But Manny is 33, and has felt it physically his last two bouts. He had leg cramps in the Mosley fight, and sustained cuts in his mouth and over his right eye. No, Bradley isn't near the skill level of Marquez, but very few are. He tends to come in straight forward, and that is to Pacquiao's advantage. He had trouble tracking down Mosley, and Bradley doesn't have the elusiveness that Marquez has, not even close. Also, his power is nothing special at 140. Above that, it figures to be even less of a deterrent to Manny.
I'm saying here and now, though, that this could be an upset special, based mostly on Bradley's volume, and the belief that Pacquiao's body is in the early to middle stages of turning on him. I wouldn't bet an underwater mortgage on it, but the possibility is there. Readers, what say you?
I say ....yawn. I hope they show this for free...PPV's are going to bomb. I see a lot of headbutts, and a close fight. Manny wins split decision, only because the boxing world is still trying to keep the Mayweather vs Pac fight alive, and a loss by either one of those fighters will kill whatever hope that fight still holds...Bradley has a boring style, and is a promoters nightmare from a PR standpoint. Manny is in a lose lose situation...LMFAO
Wack *** fight Bradley is about to get get scraped with ease....Even though Bradley deserves a spot at Pac he should fight Ortiz or Alvarez cuz Bradley doesn't sell tickets at all the PPV numberswill be nowhere near thr Mayweather vs Cotto numbers trust and believe that.
WOW! News from da HOOD, da block, da barbershop, da crackhouse or whichever one is your poison is full of BULLJIVE turkey poop! Da Manny-Bradley PPV sellouts will be large. Money May-Cottq will not. Just wait and SEE.
Money May couldn't sell a coat to a naked arse at the North Pole. The MGM arena seats won't even sellout as they didn't when Money May fought Mosley and Ortiz. This is why, nowadays, Money May fights are at the Big-Screen theatres for $25 a pop. GBP has been including them as $50 PPV buyouts. Wow! What a slick way to fool all of Money May's groupies and nuthuggers. Yall muthasuckas just keep falling off that cliff for your genius-to _____ ___!
I'm reminded of the song: "Play dat funky music, white boy!" Blow dat groupie flute, Lil Floyd! Holla!
you gotta respect the matchup. bradley is a fierce competitor, undefeated champion, he is in his ultimate athletic prime. he fights hard, he fights fast and he comes to win. he is a smart fighter and has a lot of tools.. that being sad, he comes in straight lines, he is vulnerable because he is an offensive fighter, i see pac blasting him out of there in 6 rounds....
as for cotto vs mayweather, yawn....seriously, im a mayweather fan inside the ring but come on cotto is years past his prime and has been in wars that have him faded. im a cotto fan, he is a warrior and a crowd pleaser, he is humble and a true fighter. he does not dodge anyone, always fought the best and challenged himself...floyd should have no problem picking him apart. unless floyd shows 35 year old inactive age, then this wont be an exciting fight.
i am not buying either.
be honest, pac vs an up and comer champion or floyd against a past prime war torn cotto...
Amayseng Cotto is still a much better fighter then Bradley..
@ali, no he really is not, pre concrete yes, not today
@ali, no he really is not, pre concrete yes, not today
Amayseng I respect your opinion bu Bradley ain't that good to me and I think he's getting KO against Pac. For one he has no power his defense is avg his chin is good not great he's a OK counter puncher with avg speed and he throws wide punches that equal a *** whooping against Pac._
ali all good points. i like the fact bradley brings it and comes to fight.
A weak-arse Desert Storm will be destroyed by a P-Island Typhoon every day of the week and three times on Sunday. Bradley's only chances is to get a no conest because of one of his dome-blasting butts in the first three rounds. Other than that, Da Manny is going to tear through him and bust him up badly. Holla!
@ amayseng, you can dress this fight up all you, but bottom line...it's a dud. Manny needs to be his own boss. The 2 fighters he hoped to land..Mayweather/Cotto.. both called his bluff, and they will fight in the biggest fight of 2012 hands down. Arum is ruining Mannys career..Why didn't Manny want to fight Cotto at 150, but he jumped at the chance to fight Margarito at 150? Why does he pick and choose which fighters he'll fight at a catchweight? Floyd stepped up, and told Cotto, I'll fight you at 154..no excuses. Mayweather promotions..Golden Boy Promotions..hell even Miguel Cotto Promotions...but no Manny Pacquiao Promotions?? It makes no sense for the 2nd biggest draw in the sport not to be calling his own shots. The devil is a liar! You'll can hate on Floyd all you want...but the Nevada state boxing commission has the proof..Manny biggest purse in the last 6yrs was $7.4mill..this is public record.Floyd biggest purse was $25mill! He just blew the biggest payday of his life..and now he fights Bradley for high risk/low reward...sounds like Manny needs to buy out his contract, and become a real boss!! LMFAO!!
im sorry...bradley is fighting pacman? the same bradley who got put on his butt by lamont peterson? bradley says and does the best with what he has, and while i say he is underrated considering his accomplishments, he's going to get his clock cleaned. unless he fights for the moral victory of going the distance. i think he'll come with something to prove and leave with a massive amount of respect for marquez after paqiuao beats that cannonball he calls a head like a drum.
as for may and cotto...i see cotto being tentative the whole fight especially when he sees he cant put a glove on may and cooperates with UD loss. he will then say that pacman hits harder, is faster but thinks may wins a fight between the too. you heard it hear first.
Wow! Inattention blindness is heavy on a bias human. Da Manny runs his own affairs. Pinoys have never been slaves to no one. No one ever hear us complaining about being slaved by the _______ man or any man, woman, child or animal or mythical gods.
Weak minds blinded by their own distorted superiority will claim and accept any bit of _____ that suits them. Money May has ducked and dodged Da Manny behind lies of A-side Meth and imaginary blocking of the match by the BobFather. Holla!
That small money joker outside the bank dreaming think that readers and scribes here are non-investigating idiots and not self thinkers. Guaranteed minimum of 7.4mil does not mean exclusively 7.4mil.
I guess some of the TSS scribes are going have to shut up the hater. In Da Manny's last bout, he made upward of 30mil when in the PPV receipts were in. And THIS IS THE STRAIGHT UP REAL pubic record, not some cyberspace bullsh*tology hatred from a cyberhater perpetrating a fraud. And AGAIN, Money May has never, never gotten a boxing purse of 40mil.
Da Manny has beaten his arse in salaries and payouts in the last three years. And, like always, I will be proven right, because I'm in da know, not some mutha____ being led off the cliff by the Money May's flute gettin' on its BLOW! Holla!
Triple OG your wrong again and your making a fool out of your self..ain't no way in hell Pac has been making more money then Mayweather over the last few years. You be talking out your *** do some research before you post anything on TSS don't be offended im just trying to help u.
@ Radam G...so Da Manny makes more money than Floyd does per fight? Really..even yo dumb *** don't believe that shyt. He has to give Top Rank 27% of his PPV gate sucka. Unlike you..I don't get on here with a bunch of rambling rants...I actually read this shyt. I bet yo *** a bowl of chicken fried rice that over the last 6 years he has fought double the fights, and he has made half of what Floyd has made..matter fact I'll bet you 2 bowls of chicken fried rice!! How is he his own boss, if he can't make any fights without the bobfathers say so?You a dumb Manny nutriding mofo if you really believe he getting paper like Floyd...#STFU! C'mon...ramble young man ramble..LMFAO
@ Money May U a fool im LMAO!!!! Reading your last post that **** should make quote of note homie you straight clowned triple OG.
Small Money J-J, Thelma, your sista is cool with me. I'm down with jungle fever. I don't eat chicken fried rice. That shyt is why you dudes have all that high-blood pressure.
Malignant rhetoric from a mud sucka is always funny to someone who is as dumb as he. SCLA Ali loves that you are his forty-first thief -- I mean idiot. Hehehehe! Your Alice in wonderland world is on you. You can take a hoodrat outta da hood, but you cannot take the hood outta him.
Da sucka will just keep following the pied piper music off the cliff. YUP! And next you will tell me that Money May is more known in the world than Da Manny. Wow! You are in that mudhole and muthasuckas are pi$$ing on your noggin and telling you that it is raining and you believe it. Hehehehe! You ___ never surprise me. Holla!
The only fools about money are those who have never had much. They are foolish braggarts. As I said in another post. Some ethnic group of people are notorious liars about how much money that they make. But they don't ever have syet in the end. Like bubbles will, their imaginary moola will soon burst.
There is nothing like reality and actuality. Lies about making big papers are more than the lies about the Buffalo soldiers in this month of _____ history. I heard some know-nothing Ebonicans complaining about being given the shortest month to celebrate da ____man syet. Hehehehe! I'm with Uncle Roger. Most people don't know shyt about JACK! Holla!
That's my last comment on this subject. South Central LA Ali and Detroit Motor city small Money J-J are the modern-day ____ ____ and ___ ___! They will have you laughing! They pull the IQ of America deep-bottom down. Holla!
@Fe'Roz we are talking about who makes more per fight that's it.
Don't try to change it around, SCLA Ali Baba. According to very, very reliable Forbes Magazine. The only boxer in the world's 2011's 50 highest paid athletes was Da Manny at number 24. Money May is nowhere near the list. [Da sucka lie to his pied-piper groupies and nuthuggers that he play that flute for to send their arses falling off that cliff.]
You can read, SCLA Ali, I hope so! Just hit up the cyberspace version of the Forbes Magazine. Once again, your darn tongue has turned into a snake and bit your arse foolishly. Don't start with me, and you one day will be able to see.
Man, you have some real hoodlum inattention blindness problems. Just quit trying to be so hardcore, light-skinned playa! Hehehehe! Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Jocelyn Tanner's take on Y.E.S
February 26, 2010
A note from Jocelyn Tanner about her experiences with the Y.E.S. Conference.
My experience with the Youth Excellence Seminar and AQHYA Convention began seven years ago when I made my first trip to Amarillo, Texas for the 2003 Y.E.S. conference as one of my state's affiliate AQHYA delegates.
I was in awe. All I could think was, wow, this is so exciting, and I am so happy to be part of this awesome organization. I have returned every year since. Unfortunately 2010 will be my last Y.E.S experience, but I want to continue to spread the word of the Read the rest of this entry »

Los Angeles, Calif. - The 19th-ranked UCLA Baseball team will wrap up its eight-game homestand on Tuesday night, hosting the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos at 6 p.m. at Jackie Robinson Stadium. The Bruins and Gauchos have met 88 times on the baseball diamond, with UCLA winning 53 of those contests. Additionally, head coach John Savage has an all-time record of 13-9 against the Gauchos, 7-6 at UCLA. The Bruins swept the season series with the Gauchos last year, winning both games by scores of 12-3 and 2-1 respectively. Sophomore Cody Poteet picked up the win for the Bruins in both of their wins over UC Santa Barbara last year. UCLA has also won five of the last six meetings overall with UC Santa Barbara and has defeated the Gauchos in four of the last five matchups at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Tuesday, Feb. 25 - 6:00 p.m.
UCSB – Domenic Mazza, LHP, So. (0-0, 0.00)
UCLA – Grant Dyer, RHP, Fr. (1-0, 0.00)
Tomorrow's game against UC Santa Barbara will feature a live audio broadcast online, free of charge, at uclabruins.com. John Ramey and Tim Wilhelm will have the call live from Jackie Robinson Stadium. Fans can also follow all three games online through a live stats link, which provides pitch-by-pitch updates on uclabruins.com. Links can be found on the front page of uclabruins.com on the events calendar or on the 2014 UCLA Baseball schedule page.
Freshman right-hander Grant Dyer will take the mound for the Bruins tomorrow night in his second collegiate start. Dyer made his collegiate debut on Feb. 15 against Portland, pitching a scoreless inning in relief in UCLA's 12-1 win over the Pilots. In his first start last Tuesday against Cal State Northridge, Dyer earned the win with five shutout innings while allowing just two hits and fanning three. In high school, Dyer was a three-year varsity letterwinner at Dana Hills High School in Laguna Niguel, Calif., posting a 6-4 record as a senior in 2013. He also logged a 1.24 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 62 innings pitched, all while holding opponents to a .208 batting average against him. Additionally, Dyer tossed four complete games and walked only eight batters during his senior season.
UCLA dropped two of three games over the weekend to No. 22 Cal Poly. On Friday, UCLA defeated the Mustangs, 5-2, behind seven strong innings on the mound from sophomore James Kaprielian and a 4-4 performance at the plate from freshman Luke Persico. Kaprielian struck out a career-high nine batters in his seven innings of work to earn his first collegiate victory. Persico logged two triples among his four hits while recording a RBI as well. Sophomore Ty Moore had a multi-hit game for the Bruins as well, going 2-3 with a run and a RBI. Then on Saturday, the Mustangs rebounded with an 8-0 victory over the Bruins. Slater Lee threw a complete game shutout for Cal Poly to earn the win. Junior Grant Watson took the loss for the Bruins, dropping to 1-1 after allowing six runs (five earned) in four innings of work while striking out seven. In the rubber match on Sunday, the Mustangs defeated the Bruins, 9-1, to win the series. Freshman Brett Stephens and sophomore Christoph Bono had two hits apiece in the loss while Casey Bloomquist earned the win for the Mustangs with five innings on the mound.
UCLA has won 19 of its last 23 midweek games dating back to the 2012 season. The Bruins concluded the 2012 regular-season schedule having gone 11-0 in all Tuesday ballgames and are also 20-6 in their last 26 games against Big West opponents. UCLA posted a perfect 9-0 record against Big West Conference foes in 2012. The Bruins went 7-4 in midweek games last season, defeating UC Santa Barbara, Long Beach State, Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine on the road and Hawai'i, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine at home. This season, UCLA is 1-0 in midweek games with a win over Cal State Northridge at home.
UCLA's outfield trio of Brian Carroll, Christoph Bono and Ty Moore is off to a great start at the plate. Carroll currently leads the Bruins with a .348 batting average and a .500 on-base percentage, logging two doubles, four runs and a .435 slugging percentage as well. Last season, Carroll led the Bruins with 50 runs scored while also leading the Pac-12 with 32 stolen bases. Bono has scored a team-high five runs while batting at a .333 clip with a team-leading three doubles and a .542 slugging percentage. Moore has posted a .296 batting average and a .444 slugging percentage through the first seven games, recording two doubles and a triple in the process.
Through seven games this year, UCLA's pitching staff has allowed the lowest opposing batting average (.190) and the fewest hits (43) in the Pac-12. Individually, freshman Grant Dyer currently leads the Pac-12 with a .087 batting average against. Last season, UCLA's pitchers posted a team ERA of 2.55, which ranked second in the Pac-12 and sixth-best nationally. The Bruins also ranked third in the country with an overall WHIP of 1.07 in 2013, and held opponents to a .222 batting average against them, the second-lowest in the Pac-12. Additionally, UCLA allowed the fewest runs (196) in the conference last season.
Since the start of 2010, UCLA has gone 105-43 in all home contests, good for a .709 winning percentage. The Bruins have also gone 37-20 in conference home games since 2010. UCLA has logged five Pac-12 home sweeps in the last four years (2010 vs. USC; 2011 vs. Washington; 2012 vs. USC; 2013 vs. Washington, Utah, Arizona) and six non-conference home sweeps (2010 vs. Nebraska, Oral Roberts, Cal Poly; 2011 vs. San Francisco; 2012 vs. Sacramento State; 2013 vs. Wright State). The Bruins went 27-9 at Jackie Robinson Stadium last season and are off to a 4-3 start at home this season.
UCLA came in at No. 19 in this week's Baseball America top-25 poll, marking the 37th consecutive week that the Bruins have been ranked in the top 25. The Bruins last dropped out of the poll on May 22, 2011. UCLA finished the 2013 season ranked No. 1 in each of the nation's major polls. In the last four seasons, the Bruins have been ranked in the top 10 by Baseball America a total of 17 times. UCLA also concluded the 2013 campaign with an RPI of 9 and the No. 2 strength of schedule according to boydsworld.com.
UCLA has finished among the top three in the Pac-12 Conference each of the last eight seasons (2006-2013), the only Pac-12 team to have done so. Under John Savage, UCLA finished third from 2006 through 2009, before finishing second in 2010 and winning the confernece title in 2011 and 2012. Last season, UCLA finished third with a 21-9 Pac-12 record. Never before in school history has UCLA enjoyed an eight-year span with as many top finishes in the standings.
UCLA has had at least one batter get hit by a pitch in each of the first seven games, bringing the Bruins' season total to 11 batters hit by a pitch. Brian Carroll and Ty Moore lead the Bruins with three hit by pitches apiece while Christoph Bono, Shane Zeile, Luke Persico, Chris Keck and Pat Gallagher have each been hit once. UCLA led the conference with 82 hit batters in 2013 and had a school record 104 batters hit by a pitch back in 2010.
In conference games since 2006, UCLA ranks second in wins (132) and win percentage (.623), trailing only Arizona State. The Bruins are third in total wins (313) and are fourth in overall win percentage (.627) among Pac-12 teams. UCLA and Arizona split the 2012 Pac-12 title, and UCLA won the 2011 Pac-10 championship in outright fashion for the first time since 1986. In 2013, UCLA won the first NCAA title in program history.
Returning to anchor the bullpen is All-American closer David Berg, who has enjoyed as fine a two-year career as any reliever in the history of college baseball. In three seasons, Berg has made 103 appearances, which is already good for third-most in school history, and has posted a 13-3 record with a 1.15 ERA. Berg also owns the NCAA single-season record for saves with 24 in 2013 and tied the NCAA record for most appearances in a season with 51 last year. Additionally, he became the first reliever in conference history to win Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year last season and was UCLA's first recipient of the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award, given out to the nation's top relief pitcher. Berg was named to the All-Pac-12 Team for the second time in his career in 2013, making him just the 25th UCLA player all-time to receive all-conference acclaim at least twice. In addition, he finished second in the country in both WHIP (walks and hits allowed per innings pitched) with a mark of 0.85 and ERA last year. Finally, Berg is the only pitcher in UCLA history to lead the conference in ERA in back-to-back seasons and is UCLA's all-time record holder for most postseason appearances (17), postseason saves (6) and career saves (26). This season, Berg has thrown 9.1 innings in five appearances while logging one save and a 1.93 ERA.

Experiments with Digital Microphones
While AES42 compliant digital microphones are relatively new to the audio world, they're not "brand-spanking" new. There have been several on the market for a few years now, and new ones are slowly being added as well. For all the time they've been available though, I had never heard one in action…not in a controlled environment anyway (the AES show floor is hardly the place for a comprehensive demonstration). I also didn't know anyone who had spent time evaluating any. There's always a lot of excitement about the feature set and manufacturer stated capabilities for this category of microphone, but just how much of that is genuine…and how much is the marketing machine up to its usual tricks?
At the AES convention in San Francisco this past October, I spoke to the people at Sennheiser about this very issue. They were more than happy to set me up with some demo gear that I could try out. I recently received nearly $8,000 worth of their top of the line equipment from them, and my biggest regret is that I had to send it all back. Part of that regret is because the gear truly is impressive, but I also feel like I've only started to scratch the surface. That's the larger regret for me. Life waits for no man (or woman), and schedules have a way of moving forward with or without you. So I restricted myself to testing a limited set of features, in the hope that it would give me a view that would be representative of digital microphones in general.Read More

Do you need to find a way to control a large crowd, secure hallways in a school or designate proper entrance and exits? Crowd control barricades, also known as pedestrian management barriers, are a safe and effective way to keep crowds organized and controlled. Find steel gates, post stanchions and ropes that can quarantine off designated areas or promote efficient flow at special events preventing chaos and unruliness. Extremely portable these crowd control barricades can be moved anywhere and can be lightweight or heavy duty depending on the need.
If you need a more permanent solution find retractable belt crowd control barricades that can be wall mounted or place on a post for flexibility in placement. Find steel pedestrian management barriers for outdoor use at graduations or concert events that interlock and are designed to direct foot or vehicle traffic safely and securely. Choose from a variety of rope colors paired with stanchions that are easy to set up and when not in use can be broken down and stored in compact spaces suitable for school functions and business conventions. Each of the pedestrian management barriers whether it be a stationary wall mounted retractable belt system, heavy duty gate or portable rope provide the security and peace of mind by controlling patrons, prohibiting access and improving flow at any indoor or outdoor event.
