About "Dark Girls": Documentary Directors/Producers Bill Duke (Duke Media) and D. Channsin Berry (Urban Winter Entertainment) have focused their cameras on an American cultural bias that also runs deep in cultures around the world. The film features poignant, unfiltered, and penetrating interviews with Black women of the darkest hues for their emotional exposes. Duke called Berry with his idea for the movie. Two years in the making, "Dark Girls" pulls back a cultural curtain to reveal that the deep-seated biases and hatreds of racism - within and outside of the Black American culture - remain bitterly entrenched.

Evidence of ancient lake in California's Eel River emerges
2011-11-15
EUGENE, Ore. -- (Nov. 14, 2011) -- A catastrophic landslide 22,500 years ago dammed the upper reaches of northern California's Eel River, forming a 30-mile-long lake, which has since disappeared, and leaving a living legacy found today in the genes of the region's steelhead trout, report scientists at two West Coast universities.
Using remote-sensing technology known as airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and hand-held global-positioning-systems (GPS) units, a three-member research team found evidence for a late Pleistocene, landslide-dammed lake along the river, ...

2011-11-15
NIH-funded trial shows that therapy with bone-marrow derived cells does not improve heart function after six months; future clinical benefits still possible.
