Marine Biodiversity
was the theme for International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) in 2012. Designation of IDB 2012 on the theme of marine ecosystems provides Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and everyone interested in marine life, the opportunity to raise awareness of the issue and increase practical action.
How Much Life Is in the Sea?
From 2000 to 2010, an unprecedented worldwide collaboration by scientists around the world set out to try and determine how much life is in the sea.
Dubbed the 'Census of Marine Life', the effort involved 2,700 scientists from over 80 nations, who participated in 540 expeditions around the world. They studied surface seawater and probed the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean, sailed tropical seas and explored ice-strewn oceans in the Arctic and Antarctic.
By the time the Census ended, it had added 1,200 species to the known roster of life in the sea; scientists are still working their way through another 5,000 specimens to determine whether they are also newly-discovered species. The estimate of the number of known marine species - the species that have been identified and the ones that have been documented but await classification - has increased as a direct result of the Census efforts, and is now around 250,000. (This total does not include some microbial life forms such as marine viruses.) In its final report, the Census team suggested it could be at least a million. Some think the figure could be twice as high.

Along the Coast
Coastal areas are often among the most dynamic and productive of environments. They are in many ways the definition of living on the edge. Waves crash against rocky cliffs or roll onto sandy shores. Estuaries exhale the last breath of river systems, the frenetic riverine pace yielding to a sprawling mixture of fresh- and saltwater.
In warm estuarine waters of the tropics, hot and humid mangrove forests are a hybrid of terrestrial and marine: above the water, they host insects, birds, monkeys, alligators and large mammals like deer and even tigers; beneath the water's surface, fish swim among mangrove trees' thick roots, which are covered with filter feeders like oysters, mussels, and anemones, while the muddy banks are inhabited by amphibians and crabs.
Whereas mangroves occupy the boundary between saltwater and fresh, and ocean and land, seagrasses form submerged beds, or meadows, in the sandy floor in shallow coastal seas. The plants' extensive roots anchor the meadows firmly into the sand, making seagrass meadows safe shelter for invertebrates and fish; the fact that some plants can grow as much as a centimeter per shoot per day means they are able to withstand the attentions of a variety of herbivorous grazers, from sea urchins to turtles, manatees and dugongs.
In cool, nutrient-rich temperate waters, giant seaweeds called kelp reach upwards from the sea floor beyond the low tide, growing by as much as sixty centimeters a day as they race to be close enough to the surface where they can use the Sun's light to photosynthesize. When conditions are suitable, they can cover vast areas: the coast of California alone has approximately 18,000 hectares of giant kelp growing along its coast. Kelp forests provide a sheltered calm amid the chaos of the pounding surf, and many organisms use the thick blades as a safe shelter for their young from predators or even rough storms. As a result, kelp forests support a greater variety and higher diversity of plants and animals than almost any other ocean community.
In contrast to kelp forests, coral reefs require clear, shallow waters with an ideal temperature range of between 20 and 30 degrees C. The reefs themselves are structures that have formed over hundreds, thousands or even millions of years by countless tiny organisms called polyps, which produce skeletons of calcium carbonate. Reef-building corals contain symbiotic, microscopic, photosynthesizing algae called zooxanthellae; the polyps provide the algae with carbon dioxide, and the zooxanthellae use sunlight to convert it into oxygen and carbohydrates. The algae are so small that there may be as many as two million of them in each square centimeter of coral tissue, making them by some distance the most abundant species on reefs, although far from the only ones.
Although coral reefs occupy only approximately 0.1 percent of the surface of earth, one-third of all known marine species live on them, and the total number of reef-dwelling species may number a million or more. Certainly, ecologists believe that they support a great number of species per unit area than any other marine system, and may in fact be the most diverse system on Earth. A study of a 15,000 hectare region in the Philippines documented over 5,000 species of molluscs, most of them tiny and observed just once. As testimony to this abundance and diversity, coral reefs are frequently referred to as 'rainforests of the sea'.

Mayor Don Wesely's holiday tree featuring traditional Czechoslovakian ornaments will be on display outside the Mayor's Office beginning Monday, December 9. The Mayor asked local Czech organizations to decorate his tree for the Heritage League's annual "Holiday of Trees" event December 5 and 6 at Lincoln's Unitarian Church. Rebecca Hamata, the Nebraska State Czech Queen, will present the tree to Mayor Wesely at 10 a .m. Monday just outside the Mayor's Office on the second floor of the County-City Building, 555 South 10th Street.
"We are honored that the Mayor has asked the Czech community to help celebrate his and all citizens of Czechoslovakian heritage with this Christmas tree," said Hamata, a UNL student from Schuyler.
"The holidays have a special significance for the Wesely family," said the Mayor. "Our original family name is 'Veseli,' which means 'Merry,' so 'Veseli Vanoce' is 'Merry Christmas' in Czech. Members of the local Czech organizations have done such a beautiful job of decorating this special tree, and their efforts are greatly appreciated."
The traditional ornaments include dried fruits, decorated nut shells, decorated ginger and honey cookies ("medoviniky"), homemade stars and holiday items crocheted or made of straw. Some of the decorations on the tree are heirlooms passed down through the families.
The tree will be on display until the first of the year during regular business hours.

Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Solution
by Maria Adams, MS, MPH, RD
In his book "The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution," Phil McGraw, PhD focuses on the importance of getting to the heart of your weight struggles and confronting your "personal truth." The talk-show host and psychologist outlines what he believes are the 7 keys to permanent weight loss. In addition, he helps you set realistic expectations and goals and assess your readiness for change.
How Is This Diet Supposed to Work? TOP
Dr. Phil's plan focuses on changing everything that affects what you eat—your thinking, your behavior, and ultimately, yourself. He believes that if you are overweight you are out of control, and you need to regain control. His plan focuses on taking control of emotional issues that may affect your eating behavior, changing your eating habits, and prioritizing exercise.
What's Involved? TOP
According to Dr. Phil, there are 7 keys to permanent weight loss. These keys are:
What You Can Eat on This Diet
This weight loss plan does not make too many restrictions on what you can eat, but rather emphasizes eating a diet that consists mostly of "high-response cost, high-yield nutrition" foods. These are foods that take time to prepare and/or are difficult to eat quickly, and are also high in nutritional value. Because these foods generally take a long time to prepare and eat, they go against impulse eating and help you slow down so that you recognize when you are full. In contrast, "low-response cost, low-yield nutrition" foods are easy to eat, require little or no preparation, and are low in nutritional value.
Examples of "high-response cost, high-yield nutrition" foods include:
Examples of "low-response cost, low-yield nutrition" foods include:
Extra Advice for Those Who Are "Weight-Loss Resistant"
Dr. Phil's plan also includes information for people who are "weight-loss resistant," meaning that they are doing everything they are supposed to be, but still aren't losing weight. If you find yourself in this predicament, he recommends first going for a thorough medical evaluation to make sure that everything is as it should be. This may include an evaluation of blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and thyroid function. He notes that excess weight in the midsection may be an indicator of metabolic syndrome. Extra weight in the hip and thigh area, on the other hand, may be an indicator of estrogen imbalance.
What Does the Research Say? TOP
Much of the nutrition information presented in this book is supported by scientific evidence. However, there are a few theories that are not backed by science.
For one, Dr. Phil believes that the current gold standard for determining overweight and obesity, the body mass index (BMI), is inaccurate and unrealistic. He has, therefore, come up with his own "Body Weight Standards" system. While the ideal BMI weight ranges may be unrealistic for some, it is an accurate way of predicting your likelihood of developing diseases related to being overweight and obese.
Additionally, Dr. Phil suggests taking supplements to help with weight loss efforts if you find yourself in the "weight-loss resistant" category. However, there is no strong evidence that suggests supplements can help with weight loss efforts or redistribute body fat.
Are There Any Concerns With This Diet? TOP
While there is a lot of focus on the psychological issues surrounding food, the book itself only devotes 1 section to nutrition. Moreover, the nutrition information isn't completely accurate.
The concept of eating mostly foods that take time to prepare and eat and offer high nutritional value is a good one. Unfortunately, it's unrealistic to classify foods as good or bad when some of them clearly overlap. According to Dr. Phil's criteria, whole-wheat pizza for instance, is good in the sense that it provides whole grains, but bad in the sense that it contains high-fat dairy. Additionally, it is possible to slowly eat a small amount of dessert and savor every bite, making it a cross between his 2 groups, a "high-response cost, low-yield nutrition" food.
Overall, this plan oversimplifies nutrition and assumes that people are overweight because they tend to put taste and convenience ahead of nutrition, and/or because they are emotional eaters.
Bottom Line TOP
If you are an emotional eater or someone with a lot of built-up negativity, than this may be a plan for you. Dr. Phil helps you sort out what is causing your weight problems, set realistic weight loss goals, and create a plan for achieving your goals. But if you would rather skip the self-help focus, or are simply looking for a straight-forward, healthful eating plan, then this plan is not the best match for you.

Mini Egg Salad Sandwiches
with Rhodes Multi-Grain Rolls
It's a rare day for me to buy, let alone heartily recommend, a commercial food product. But since discovering these small multi-grain rolls from Rhodes, I'm hooked! Look for them in the freezer section, yes, they're Bake and Serve rolls! (Please know, this is NOT a sponsored post.)
It was a lucky break, checking the frozen seafood section for lobster tails. Nope, no lobster tails, no hoped-for affordable lobster.
But right next door was a shelf of Rhodes frozen breads. My mother used to swear by Rhodes frozen bread loaves – a coup given that Mom was one of the world's best bread bakers.
What caught my eye, however, was a tray of nine small multi-grain rolls. I walked through my mental gauntlet.
Price? Check. The price was right, $2.29, just $.25 a roll.
Ingredient list? Check. It starts off with stone-ground whole wheat flour and unbleached white flour. Sugar is the fourth ingredient (and the rolls do have a certain sweetness), but that's followed by sunflower seeds, flax seeds and millet.
Reasonable calories? Check.
Convenience? Triple Check. Just throw the tray of still-frozen rolls into a hot oven. Twenty minutes later? Done. Hot rolls for dinner.
Taste? Could frozen rolls taste good? I have to say, I think the taste and texture are excellent. There's that slightly nutty edge that comes with whole-grain bread.
Sold! I've bought the rolls three times now and plan to keep a tray or two in the freezer all the time. They were a huge hit at my book club last week, stuffed with egg salad for three-bite but still-hearty sandwiches.
MINI EGG SALAD SANDWICHES with
Time to table: 30 minutes
Makes 9 small but substantial sandwiches
- 1 tray Rhodes Multi-Grain Rolls or another small roll
- 2 hard-cooked eggs (how to make Perfect Hard-Cooked Eggs every time)
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet relish, liquid drained off
- 1 teaspoon good mustard
- 2 tablespoons grated Swiss or mozzarella cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves, washed and patted dry
ROLLS Bake the rolls according to package instructions. Let cool, then slice in half and separate the individual rolls.
EGG SALAD Meanwhile, with a fork, mash the egg salad ingredients.
SANDWICHES Spread a spoonful of the egg salad mixture onto the bottom half of a roll, top with lettuce, then close with the top half of the roll.
ALANNA's TIPS These sandwiches can be made ahead of time. Just cover and refrigerate. I was surprised that even two days later, the leftover sandwiches were still quite fresh. So long as the sandwiches can be kept chilled, they'd be great for picnics, road trips, etc. For planning purposes, allow about one cooked egg for two people.
Rhodes Multi-Grain Rolls
Aren't they pretty? I love how you can actually see the sunflower seeds and flax seeds!

The district also honored some Upshur County schools' Future Farmers of America chapters for their performance in district-sponsored contests, and presented a special award to Big Sandy and Hawkins Journal editor Seria Dassing for journalistic excellence.
About 100 persons attended the district's 59th banquet at the Upshur-Rural Electric Co-op auditorium.
Established in 1941, the Gilmer-based district promotes protecting health, recreation, safety and general welfare of people by encouraging conservation of soil, water, plants and animals.
Wills, a professor at both Kilgore College and Troy University, was honored for a "huge restoration effort" on his 29-acre family farm in the Little Mound Community. He was cited for an "extremely innovative and diverse operation" consisting of grape vineyards, orchard, grazing land and wildlife land.
He removed iron ore rock, and constructed the levee system utilized in a vineyard he established. Some six of 15 acres of vineyard are complete, and progress has been made in preparing a winery.
Wills's property contains rosemary bushes, hives of American and African bees which aid with pollination in the vineyard, and a variety of small fruit trees planted last spring: pear, peach, plum, paw paw, mayhaw and apricot.
In addition, St. Croix sheep graze pastures, while providing a natural method of weed control and fertilization between rows of grapes.
Productive woodland soils surround the property's stock pond, while a hardwood forest provides plentiful habitat and cover for wildlife.
Wills utilized the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) in 2011, installing a fence for livestock production.
Rhodes, who is 77, was honored for work on his 964-acre "vast wildlife refuge and sanctuary" just south of Big Sandy.
He planted loblolly pine trees, including an initial planting of 268,000 seedlings. In 2009 and 2010, he participated in the United States Department of Agriculture's EQIP program, utilizing cost- share funds to establish 198 acres of such trees.
Rhodes's property was described as "the perfect wildlife habitat," abounding "with a variety of population."
To improve its deer herd, he placed five feeders on the property and feeds year round. He also stocked a 10-acre pond with thousands of fish.
In 2012, the grand property was accepted into the USDA's Conservation Security Program, which recognizes producers who are voluntarily applying conservation practices and encourages implementing additional prescribed practices.
Rhodes was quoted as saying his relatives "understand how I feel about the land and the animals that inhabit it. I have a rule: Unless it's a snake, don't kill it unless you plan to eat it!"
District Conservationist Robbie Clemens presented a pictorial show on Wills and Rhodes, which she narrated. The presentation also featured some of the district's work with youth.
The district also honored FFA chapters for their finishes in four contests the organization sponsored. They were:
• Plant ID—Union Hill No. 1 team, first place; Ore City No. 1 team, second place; Ore City No. 2 team, third place.
• Woodland Clinic—Harmony No. 1 team, first; Gilmer No. 1 team, second; Gilmer No. 2 team, third.
• Wildlife Clinic--Gilmer No. 1 team, first; Harmony No. 1 team, second; Harmony No. 2 team, third.
• Land Judging—New Diana No. 1 team, first; Ore City No. 1 team, second; Big Sandy No. 1 team, third.
A 5-member Board of Directors oversees the district—Chairman Melvin Reynolds, who presided at the banquet; Vice Chairman Harold Stone; Secretary-Treasurer Victor Hill; Steve Still and Bobby Fortson.
Longevity service awards were presented to Ms. Clemens and Stone (20 years); and to Reynolds and District Technician John Wade (15 years).
Hannah Bolt of the Union Hill FFA led the pledge of allegiance, whlile Courtney Bingham of the Ore City FFA led the pledge to the Texas flag. Javier Valdez, pastor of Primera Iglesia Bautista in Gilmer, offered the invocation before the meal, catered by Longhorn Smokehouse.
Near the banquet's conclusion, Reynolds called on former district employee David Powell for some impromptu remarks. Powell, who worked for the district 33 years, said the Upshur-Gregg SWCD has been judged "one of the best in the state."

- Install distcc on both client and server(s)
- Configure distcc on both sides
- Configure Firewall on server(s) to allow incoming distcc traffic
- Build, build, build!
- Monitoring
Before we can go ahead with above, we need to install Linux VMs (I used VirtualBox) on the desktop since its running Windows. I created two Linux (Fedora 13, 64-bit) VMs where Linux Kernel compilation can be offloaded. Each VM was assigned 1G of memory and 2 vCPUs each (a single 4 vCPU VM was quite unstable). In general, you need to have both client and server with the same platform (32/64-bit) and the same compiler versions otherwise you can run into weird compiler/linker errors or even worse, undetectable errors!
Install distcc
sudo yum install distcc distcc-serverNow create these symlinks in a separate folder (e.g. ~/distcc/):
mkdir ~/distcc; cd ~/distcc ln -s /usr/bin/distcc gcc ln -s /usr/bin/distcc g++ ln -s /usr/bin/distcc c++
NOTE: do not create these symlinks such that they take precedence over your actual compilers, otherwise it will try to offload all kinds compilation you do on the client. In general, its not useful to offload very small compilations.
Configure distcc
Client side configuration:
Available servers needs to be listed in ~/.distcc/hosts file. On my laptop, it looks like this:
192.168.1.10,lzo, 192.168.1.11,lzo
Where 192.168.1.{10,11} are IPs of Linux VMs running on my desktop. The 'lzo' option tells distcc to compress object files as they are transferred over the network. This slightly increases CPU usage on both client and server but is useful if you have a low bandwidth network. This configuration completely offloads compilation to server. In case you want to local machine to also participate in compilation, change above to:
localhost, 192.168.1.10,lzo, 192.168.1.11,lzo
NOTE: do not use local IP address instead of term 'localhost' in this configuration file, otherwise distcc will incur network overhead even for local part of compilation. But if 'localhost' is used, local part of compilation will have negligible overhead due to distcc.
As another example, you may want to restrict usage of local machine, so it can remain cool and most of the work is done by other servers:
localhost, 192.168.1.10,lzo, 192.168.1.11,lzo
Server side configuration:
USER=ngupta OPTIONS="--jobs 4 --allow 192.168.1.0/24 --port 3632 --log-file=/tmp/distccd.log"
Now, start the distcc server with:
service distccd start
Or, manually with:
distccd --daemon --user ngupta --jobs 4 --allow 192.168.1.0/24 --port 3632 --log-file=/tmp/distccd.log
Of course, you need to change the user. Now, verify that it started successfully with:
ps awwx | grep distcc
Configure Firewall
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3632 -j ACCEPT
Build, Build, Build!All set now, its time to build! Now, for whatever compilation you want to distribute using distcc, issue build like this:
PATH=$HOME/distcc:$PATH make –j8
This PATH prefix makes sure that those distcc symlinks get priority over the real compiler. This also gives us the control to use or avoid distcc easily – just don't use PATH prefix as above and you will fall back to local compiler.
The distcc man page specifies that number of threads (make –j parameter) should normally be set to twice the number of available CPUs to cover for threads blocked on network I/O.
In my case, I have 2 VMs each with 2vCPUs, so total of 4 CPUs. Sometimes, I also add 'localhost' to distcc server list, so I can use 2 cores on my laptop too. With a total of 6 cores, my Linux kernel build time (with default Fedora 13 config) came down from over an hour to just 20 mins!
Figure: distccmon-gnome continuously showing distcc status during Linux kernel compile.
Happy Building! :)

At this particular time of the year our thoughts naturally turn to giving and good will, of gathering with family and friends over good food and drink, of generally reflecting on the passing year — what we did right, what we did wrong, and with all things considered, how lucky we are to live in a free society in which food is plentiful and comparatively inexpensive. In short, it is a good time to count our blessings.
Such was my frame of mind when I was scanning the Internet recently and came across an interesting story published online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The article contained a projection that showed global food demand doubling by 2050. The piece was written by David Tilman, Regents Professor of Ecology in the University of Minnesota's College of Biological Sciences, and colleagues, including Jason Hill, assistant professor in the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences.
In essence, the article drove home the importance of rich and developed nations helping those nations less fortunate to grow the food supplies necessary in the ensuring years to prevent wide-scale starvation.
Tilman pointed out that producing the amount of food needed to meet demand could significantly increase levels of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the environment and cause extinction of numerous species. But this can be avoided, the paper noted, if the high-yielding technologies of rich nations are adapted to work in poor nations, and if all nations use nitrogen fertilizers more efficiently.
"Agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions could double by 2050 if current trends in global food production continue," Tilman said. "Global agriculture already accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions." Much of these emissions come from land clearing, which also threatens species with extinction.
The article shows that if poor nations continue current practices, they will clear a land area larger than the United States (2.5 billion acres) by 2050. I found this figure alarming. But if richer nations help poorer nations improve yields to achievable levels, that number could be reduced to a half a billion acres. Now that's encouraging.
The article goes on to say that adopting nitrogen-efficient "intensive" farming can meet future global food demand with much lower environmental impacts than the "extensive" farming practiced by many poor nations, that clears land to produce more food. The potential benefits are great. In 2005, crop yields for the wealthiest nations were more than 300 percent higher than yields for the poorest nations.
"Strategically intensifying crop production in developing and least-developed nations would reduce the overall environmental harm caused by food production, as well as provide a more equitable food supply across the globe," said Hill.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recently projected a 70 percent increase in food demand. According to Tilman, either projection shows that the world faces major environmental probems unless agricultural practices in poorer nations change.
Borlaug spirit alive
The environmental impacts of meeting demand depend on how global agriculture expands. Clearing land for agriculture and the use of fuel and fertilizers to grow crops increases carbon and nitrogen in the environment and cause species extinctions.
In the paper, Tilman and his collaborators explore different ways of meeting demand for food and their environmental effects. In essence, the options are to increase productivity on existing agricultural land, clear more land, or do a combination of both. They consider various scenarios in which the amount of nitrogen use, land cleared, and resulting greenhouse emissions differ.
"Our analyses show that we can save most of the Earth's remaining ecosystems by helping the poorer nations of the world feed themselves," Tilman said.
Lastly, it can't be overlooked that the spirit of the late Norman Borlaug is alive and well in the humanitarian efforts that are moving forward on many fronts today — from donors such as Warren Buffett and the Gates Foundation that has financed efforts by the International Rice Research Institute to research ways to increase yields in poorer nations, to agricultural chemical and fertilizer companies working closely with government officials in third-world countries to feed their people more cost-effectively and efficiently. Much success has been made on this front, but as the world's population continues to mushroom, the challenges remain daunting and continuous.
Nonetheless, it should appear obvious that lending a hand to help out the less fortunate nations on the planet indeed contributes to the overall environmental welfare and security of the wealthy nations. And quite frankly, it is the right thing to do. For this Borlaug – known as the father of the Green Revolution for producing and introducing high-yield wheat varieties into Mexico, Pakistan and India, thereby saving millions from starvation — would be proud of our efforts.
Sprawling weeds
It's funny what you come across on the Internet while researching fodder for news columns. Here's a little diddy that I just had to share. Seems the park district in the small town of Highland Park in Illinois has decided to resume the use of chemical pesticides to treat its sports fields. The district changed its policy four years ago to use only organic, health-conscience techniques, including intensified irrigation, aeration, mowing, over-seeding and other cultural practices.
But a few months ago, the district confessed that the dandelions, clover and other invasive weeds had gained the upper hand. The baseball, soccer and football fields have become overrun with 60 percent to 80 percent weeds and are in the worse shape they've been in over a decade. So government officials finally threw in the towel and admitted defeat.
"The fields are getting worse every year," lamented Park District Commissioner Cal Berstein. "I think something needs to be done to reverse the trend." Well, maybe now the athletes will be able to find many of their lost sports balls. Live and learn.

Davy's Law: Computers can't compute/predict themselves.
No physical computer is capable of losslessly determining it's effect on every state in it's state space by means of internal simulation. That is, the only way it can accurately achieve the result of a state is by actually being put into that state.
The limiting factor here is the necessity of storing the entirety of it's state AND its rule set within it's alloted state (with room to spare for performing computation). This would be in violation of the pigeonhole principle's effect on lossless compression. Not to mention that if it were possible, it could simulate it simulating it simulating it... And unless it can solve the halting problem, that's probably just not a good feature for a system to have.
Davy's law does not prohibit computers from computing with isolated portions of it's state. It also does not state that there aren't some global state computations that are possible. That is, some states can be losslessly compressed and manipulated in this form. Rather it postulates that a computer cannot compute the results of every state for it's entire state space.

San Jose (city, United States)
San Jose (sănəzā´, săn hōzā´), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. Along with San Francisco and Oakland the city comprises the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States. San Jose lies in a rich fruit-growing area and has wineries and many food-processing industries. Computers; electronic and electrical equipment; machinery; metal, rubber, plastic, and paper products; medical, communications, and transportation equipment; and chemicals are among its manufactures. Aerospace and commercial-supply industries are nearby, as is the Silicon Valley high-technology center. Industrial production developed significantly after World War II and growth has since been rapid. However, San Jose was affected by the decline in high-technology production at the end of the 20th cent. The first state legislature (1849) met there, and San Jose was the state capital from 1849 to 1851.
Among the city's parks are Alum Rock Park, with mineral springs; Kelley Park, with a zoo and a Japanese garden and tea house; and Rosicrucian Park, with its Egyptian museum and planetarium. The Tech Museum of Innovation and the city's repertory theater are located in striking new buildings, and the sprawling, bizarrely constructed Winchester Mystery House is also noteworthy. San Jose State Univ., The National Hispanic Univ., Lincoln Law School of San Jose, and a campus of Golden Gate Univ. are in San Jose. The National Hockey League's Sharks play there. To the north lies Mission San Jose de Guadalupe (1797) and to the west is Mission Santa Clara de Asís (1777).

Cool Moomba Boat Show Buys This Winter
Boat show season brings the best deals of the year on Moomba boats with Pick 4 for Free incentives.
Christmas promotions are great, but everyone knows the best deals get even cooler with the weather. Wakeboard and ski boats are no exception. Moomba Boats dealers world-wide are preparing for the 2012 boat show season with the Pick 4 for Free Boat Show Promotion.

It is not rare to see Brazilian players emerge to the football world every year. Bernard, Neymar, Lucas and Oscar were once young prospects as well. Nowadays they are showing their potentials to the world.
In 2013 some young player shined in Brazil. This is a list of five new players that could be the next target for European clubs:
Rodrigo Caio - Centre-back/Defensive Midfielder (20-years-old)
Rodrigo Caio is a versatile player. He plays for São Paulo FC and has been in incredible form this season. Not only is he a great passer, but also at defending. The youngster started his career as a midfielder, but with time he found his best position as a full-back. His main attributes are heading and interception. He looks like a young Thiago Silva, a very technical player.
Alex Telles - Left-back (21-years-old)
This is the typical Brazilian left-back. Very fast, offensive and with a powerful left leg. He made an impact this year with his ability and intelligence. However, he has still a lot to learn when it comes to defensive positioning. A risky shot, but a very good promise for the future.
Lucas Silva - Cental Midfielder (20-years-old)
He has been labelled the "new Juninho Pernambucano". The tireless midfielder has shown his potential. Unquestionably one of the most promising players in this new generation. Like Juninho, he can pass and shoot perfectly. He is also a strong player, good defender, and knows how to change the game's pace. Playing for Cruzeiro, he was essential in their run to win the Brazilian Championship.
Everton Ribeiro - Attacking Midfielder (24-years-old)
Although he is no longer a youngster, Everton Ribeiro showed this year all he can deliver. With a huge repertoire of dribbles, great goals and decisive passes he conquered his space in Cruzeiro and in Brazilian football this year. Not only is he a intelligent player, but also really fast and skillfull. Some clubs have shown interest in the player's services, such as Manchester United. If this really happens, it would be a terrific deal.
Marcelo - Forward (21-years-old)
Marcelo is a classy player. Seldom have I seen a striker as him, lethal in front of the goalkeeper. Strong but also fast. The youngster wowed Brazilian media with his appearences for Atlético Paranaense this year. Lots of clubs are fighting for the player, including Internazionale. However, he has already a release clause of 12 million euros, scaring some Brazilian clubs that looked for the player.

Warriors Official Problem/Solution Thread
Discuss anything related to Golden State Warriors basketball here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
We are in a tough situation, we have yet to figure out our overall team philosophy and if we have a philosophy, we don't have the winning results. Our choices are to hope for a miracle next season, when Sacramento is healthy, Portland is awesome at the front line, the Fakers may be healthy again and actually find a point guard, Memphis has another franchise player and Phoenix get another top 5 pick. Our best hope may be to dump salary ASAP and build the team around rebounding, defense and good free throw players. That means Sarunas, Ellis, Jackson, and Biedrins. If we add another player like Nick Fazekas who has 58% shooting percentage, 85% free throw percentage and 11.4 rebound per, we are moving in the right direction. I also like DJ Agustin with his 82% in free throw, 47.8% in shooting percentage, 48.2 % in threes and 6.6 assists. Mullin is not a stat savy or objective talent evaluator. An explosive back court of DJ and Ellis would provide a lot more excitement than the overpaid and underperforming duo of J-Rich and BD that can't hit free throws and our long history of close losses. The Warriors (mostly Nellie) put too much weight on scoring numbers and not enough on rebounding (represents effort), assists (represents making team mates better), turn overs (represents decision making and ball handling), shooting percentage (decision making, discipline, and ability to score in the low post), and free throw percentage (the ability to win close games). If we get a natural PG and/or a good rebounding PF that can shoot a high percentage and hustle (ala David Lee) we would improve dramatically. Our shooting percentage, three point percentage, free throw percentage and rebounding totals sums up our problems, we have a team that wants to run, run and run and not defend, rebound, set picks, hit free throws, attack the rack, and pass to team mates. Our chances of making the playoffs next year look at lot worse than this year, unless Mullin and Rod change their evaluation criteria and bring in quality scorers and not quantity scorers.

Yeah... but you don't see other teams trade for them until they become expirers.
And Baron is not one of these overpaid low producers! He is the best player on a playoff fringe team, top 5 in nba in assists and top 5 PG
agreed. The only time the ws are EVEN a fringe playoff team is when BD plays. Truth in numbers: They are 50% with him, 33% without him, case closed. Only problem is, of course, a huge one - he is often injured.
To be honest, the last month has been horrible and before that the numbers would have shown that the team hasn't won a whole lot more with Baron than without him but the point is that he does make the team better and is a great PG that distributes as well as scores, not just one or the other. He would be a great addition to a team with a very good big man, like the Grizz will be IF they get Oden but even without him, they will likely get a very good player in the draft and already have some young talent in need of a great PG
JayPat wrote:Also if you say trade for a player, identify which problems he will solve. Ie Reggie Evans rebounding, etc.
Going through my trade proposals:
1. Gasol will give the team pretty much everything needed from a big guy - Rebounding, defense with very good shot blocking, good passing for his size as his assists are very good and very good scoring. Gasol fills the need to say the least. The other guys I included in the 2 trade scenarios are just fillers, in the case of Swift (a decent defender and runner), Stoudamire (a decent PG who seems to be distributing better now than he is scoring) and Cardinal (a scrub only). Gay, who along with Cardinal was in the 2nd scenario, would have a great chance of immediately being the starting SF and he can possibly do it all as well, in particular running, scoring and playing some defense.
2. Al Jefferson would also fill the PF need, not like Gasol but very well himself, with very good interior scoring and shot blocking. Jefferson is so young that he would only likely get better. Delonte would backup Monta and give decent scoring ability and good allround play, especially defensively where he is most valuable. Ratliff and Wally would be fillers, though Wally could be the starting SF as he can shoot and score well
JayPat wrote:I'd even wager to say that at full strength the Warriors can be a .550 or .600 team. Remember, we've never ever seen Baron, J-Rich, Jax, Harrington, Biedrins, and Ellis together.
And we likely never will as Baron is constantly injured for some 20 games a season

Lauren Conrad has kept a low TV profile since she ended her reality TV days of MTV's "Laguna Beach" and its spinoff "The Hills." And she's not itching to get back in that spotlight.
"I only ever got to tell half my story," Conrad told Marie Claire, which she covers in the July 2013 issue. "People are very quick to judge these days, especially behind the anonymity of a screen name. It's very easy to say, 'I hate her, I hate what she wore, she seems mean.' But you're only seeing a small fraction of her life."
The 27-year-old fashionista has launched several clothing lines, including LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's, and penned eight books, which landed her on the New York Times bestseller list. Her latest book is "Infamous," which is meant to tell her whole story, not just part of it.
PHOTOS: 50 most beautiful female celebrities
"There is always gonna be a little bit of ... negativity, which just comes with the territory," she said. "You realize it doesn't matter. It's so simple, but it's a very hard lesson to learn. At the end of the day, it doesn't really affect you in any way."
And while her former costars Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and Jason Wahler have been busy making less than savory tabloid headlines, Conrad has kept a cool head and has pursued what she wanted, and said she is glad she didn't need to remain on the small screen to achieve success. She said that she hasn't seen her newly married frenemy Kristin Cavallari "in years, maybe."
Conrad remains a public figure without dishy TV shows and questionable celebutante behavior. She also insists that she's over the L.A. club scene.
"It feels done for me. I'm OK with it being done," she said. "I destroyed my voice when I moved to L.A. There are polyps all over my vocal chords because I was in a lot of loud places. If you listen to the first episode of 'Laguna,' my voice is completely different."
"I hoped I didn't [have to stay on TV]," she added. "Everybody told me to stay on TV. Nobody wanted me to leave."
Though she was employed by MTV, she still pursued her love of style, attending classes at L.A.'s Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and interning at Teen Vogue during "The Hills." She said she's more than happy to keep her distance from reality TV, save for her penchant for watching "real estate porn" on HGTV.
"Lauren wasn't a great student -- she wasn't that interested," her father, Jim Conrad, an architect, told the Marie Claire. "We figured out along the way that she was an artist and her real love was fashion."
She's made that work for her. With more than 3 million Twitter followers and an active Instagram account, Conrad seems to showcase her work more than her personal life.
The Marie Claire interview sets the scene with her browsing the Rose Bowl flea market with interviewer Ned Martel. She's gearing up to launch her e-commerce site in September. It's called the Little Market, which she's launching with Human Rights Watch advocate and friend Hannah Taylor Skvaria. The site will sell crafts made by women globally.
"We've been to Bali and El Salvador and Africa and India and Nepal," Conrad said. "Hannah is good about educating me about not just the beautiful places we go to but also the issues people there face. I think when you've been fortunate, you have a moral obligation to do things for others."
In a candid moment with the magazine, the California girl opened up about her relationship with boyfriend William Tell, 32, the ex-Something Corporate musician whom she met through a friend on Valentine's Day 2012.
"It's the first time I'm with someone and I'm not explaining things. He also has experience in the entertainment industry, so he understands a lot of things that people don't always get."
Appearing on "Chelsea Lately" Monday night, Conrad also made it apparent to guest host Ross Matthews that her young look was a ruse and that she's really an old person at heart.
"My friends make fun of me because I collect teacups and saucers," she said. "Inside, I'm like 80."
They also talked about her forays at the Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena and about from where she draws her visual inspiration.
"The quirkiest little things I love," Conrad said. "I do it a lot for inspiration for my lines, I love things that feel found or there's just a little bit of charm to them. Especially for your home or something you're going to wear, you don't want it to look like everything else."
Amen, sister.
The full Marie Claire article hits newsstands June 18. "Infamous" launched Tuesday.
