voice travels the speed of super SONIC out ya ear//
Dis nigga must stutter a lot - cause he took a while to
Nash's terror-risks (terrorist) domes by turnin rhymes into bombs
Your gaspin breath - only way I'd permit a
pause in this battle
Your laughin ends - when you realize that my cause is to dismantle
Undertaken as my 'pupil' is the
only way you'd be 'seen' a 'spectacle'
Ain't cummin wit nothin hard - define your scripts unerectable
empty 'magazines' - projectin objects fulfillin the 'Reader's Digest'
Yo scripts wouldn't cause a buzz even
if you queened tha hive nest
I'm tha finest - electrically eccentric - how you gon' shock a live chest?
ejaculations similar to your rhymes cause they always bustin white
Dustin dikes - approachin all battles sadistically -
lustin fights
Imma possess your soul - this battle just gives me the trusted rights
I leave cats recitin my verses like
Christians be quotin scriptures
Sent to your Creator in a state close to sin wit high hopes ta fix-ya
Trailer trash you
probably tha type ta elope ya sista
Yous tha decendant of 'Cain' - but I'm 'Abel' to rewrite historical facts
comparin skills is like comparin dick size - a rhetorical stat
I'm applaudin this cat - for battlin me with his low melanin
Puttin hell-in-ya mental - scriptin used lines niggas can tell-it's-a-rental
If you 'crush a nigga throat' - Imma
'crush a nigga's b*tch'
Crush a wigga's wrist - when I'm done they'll dig a ditch
Only way your rhymes would phase is
if they were racist statements
Dawg just face this in Laymen's - just a waste of entertainment
They'd hafta digest my
feces inorder to get a taste of your remnants
I'm the origin of man - you're just an evolution of chance
You entered the
devil's 'round' - fate decides the 'revolutions' to dance
Like tha disabled on a team - could tell you were useless at
You shouldn't have spoke from the beginning you chose the ending then
My prose is ending when - I close the pending
Faget - probably hope to eat Vanilla Ice's cream wit frozen Eminems....
Get you pussy outta here - I ain't Blah
kid, I don't play. Maybe you should put more of your focus there, cause you came at me weak...and now look what
It's best to end it here so cats do like a movie and just keep scroll and give me credit....

Imma leave you a depleted space similar to collapsin black holes
When you war against I - you war
against countless black souls

Yo comedic punchlines humor me then the laughter starts
technique like virgin on

Dawg HIP HOP is BLACK - cause (the) COUNTRY is WHITE
My lines leave you raided
more often than Oprah's pantry at night
You'll have to re-write - wit your pussy to hafta be tight
Your soul is
broken take a second to re-plaster your heart
You could probably master the skill - but never master this art
My fire works

Ma blasts sound like standing ovations so dawg I hafta clap
The definition

American rap is the best -- I'm an African, so I'm an African rapper. In fact I'd rather write about African
consciousness than battle fake cats like you. I didn't say cause you were white you can't rap - you brought up the fact
that you were white as if you wanted props for it. And I told you I was gonna use it to your disadvantage. But you aiight
tho kid, I like some of your scripts (if they are yours). Make 'em positive though, it ain't all about battlin...rap is a

I have no opinion on the veracity of the number. I would need to research the study more. I have made my opinion on this very clear over the years:
First time OWI should be a crime in Wisconsin
Third time offense should be a felony
Five time offense should include severe penalty; I wouldn't exclude life in prison
Homocide by intoxicated use of a vehicle with any previous OWI, life in prison
And yes, buying your child under age 18 alcohol in a bar should be outlawed

SRT Viper gets refresh in 2015, product plan shows
Chrysler to boost Fiat brand in U.S.
The latest version of Chrysler's future product plan calls for the SRT Viper to be refreshed in 2015.
Chrysler Group will bolster the Fiat brand but has dropped plans to add Fiat-derived small cars for Chrysler and Dodge this year, according to a new long-range product plan revealed Wednesday.
The new plan updates Chrysler's five-year North American product outlook that it presented in November 2009. The update extends the outlook into 2016. According to the plan, the SRT Viper gets a refresh in 2015.
The revised strategy contains changes for each brand Chrysler sells in North America. It shows the addition of seven new unannounced vehicles for the Fiat brand in 2015 and 2016, as well as a single Alfa Romeo, believed to be the 4C sports coupe, arriving this year. There are five additional unidentified new Alfas set to arrive in 2015 and 2016, the plan indicates.
Chrysler-Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was set to discuss the plan in a conference call with analysts Wednesday morning.
The product plan changes for Chrysler Group's other brands are:
Chrysler: Three Chrysler vehicles that were to be built by Fiat in 2012 and 2013 have been dropped from the previously released plan. One existing Chrysler vehicle--likely the 200 sedan--will be refreshed in 2014. Three new vehicles are to arrive for the brand in 2015.
Jeep: The addition of a small Jeep built by Fiat has been delayed one year until 2014. Two new Jeep products will be introduced in 2015, including one vehicle--likely the previously discussed 7-passenger Grand Wagoneer--which is delayed two years. The brand will refresh two of its products in 2016.
Ram: A Fiat-built Ram--likely a rebadged Fiat Doblo small commercial van--has been delayed two years from the previous product plan and will appear in 2014. Two new Rams are now scheduled to appear in 2016.
Dodge: While two previous Fiat-produced Dodge vehicles have been dropped, three existing vehicles in the brand will receive previously unscheduled refreshes--one this year and two in 2014. Another existing unidentified vehicle will get a new platform in 2015, and the brand will add another vehicle to its lineup in 2016.
SRT: Chrysler Group's performance brand won't get another new vehicle in its lineup until 2016 but will get new refreshes of three existing vehicles in 2014. The Viper, released last year, will next be refreshed in 2015.

[Solved] Combining fixed position and margin %
I'm trying to set a fixed navigation menu on a liquid layout, whereby the list items have a margin-left: 25% The problem I'm encountering is the links (list items) become un-clickable.
However if I do any of the following, the links begin to work again:
1. remove "position: fixed" from "nav ul" (can't, needs to be fixed)
2. specify "px" instead of "%" for margin-left under "nav ul li a" (can't, needs to be liquid in width)
3. remove "position: relative" from next container div in the HTML (can't, it uses z-index)

HOME

STORY

SERVICES

SALONS

nav { } nav ul { width: 100%; position: fixed; } nav ul li { height: 18px; margin: 4px 0; } nav ul li a { font-size: 1.8em; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 25%; }
We need to see a live link or a Codepen with HTML & CSS
Give a bigger z-index to nav ul.
In short you have something flowing over the ul. Either find out what it is or give the ul a higher z-index.
Probably something to do with this...
- remove "position: relative" from next container div in the HTML (can't, it uses z-index)
A live link would be ideal....
Alright, here is a live link http://tinyurl.com/clsgbrk
The container (960px wide) is covering the nav. Your content is only 520px wide, so why not make the container the same? Then lose the large left padding on the children.
That will get you close, but at smaller screen sizes the nav links are still covered. I'd work towards centering the nav and shifting the links to the left.
Thanks @wolfcry911
I didn't even realize that, I was so focused on the content it didn't occur to me the width of the container can still essentially cover the nav and render it unusable. Yeah, I plan on making it responsive and center the nav at smaller sizes :)

The TED commandments of public speaking – this says it all!
By: Ellen Egan
You all know that I love TED.com. According to the web site:
TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading.It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader.
The annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Oxford, bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
On TED.com, we make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free.
I am truly addicted to this site as it allows me to hear the ideas of some of my heroes and soon-to-be heroes.
So, you can imagine how thrilled I was to find The TED Commandments of Public Speaking.
The TED commandments of public speaking:
- Thou Shalt Not Simply Trot Out thy Usual Shtick. Don't just rehash an old speech or someone else's old speech. If the ideas you are presenting are old and tired, then why will anyone bother to listen. Put a new spin on things – look at the problem from a new perspective or come up with an innovative solution.
- Thou Shalt Dream a Great Dream, or Show Forth a Wondrous New Thing, Or Share Something Thou Hast Never Shared Before. Take the time to come up with something new and interesting and specifically new and interesting for your audience.
- Thou Shalt Reveal thy Curiosity and Thy Passion. Take a risk and show that you care. Reveal a bit of yourself to your audience and they will get caught up in your enthusiasm.
- Thou Shalt Tell a Story. Stories have always been a powerful way to present ideas to audiences. They make connections between people and ideas.
- Thou Shalt Freely Comment on the Utterances of Other Speakers for the Sake of Blessed Connection and Exquisite Controversy. Don't be afraid of controversy, it sparks interest and reminds people that there are different perspectives on an issue.
- Thou Shalt Not Flaunt Thine Ego. Be Thou Vulnerable. Speak of thy Failure as well as thy Success. This speaks for itself. You are not up on stage to speak only of yourself and your triumphs. Audiences relate to humanity and humility in presentations.
- Thou Shalt Not Sell from the Stage: Neither thy Company, thy Goods, thy Writings, nor thy Desperate need for Funding; Lest Thou be Cast Aside into Outer Darkness. This is a special commandment for TED talks. many of our public speaking presentations will relate to promoting our businesses, products, writings, etc…
- Thou Shalt Remember all the while: Laughter is Good. Laughter is the best medicine for your stress, your audience's stress and is welcome in any public speaking environment (even if the topic is very sobering).
- Thou Shalt Not Read thy Speech. Amen. Show your audience the respect to look at them and not just at your notes. The only thing worse than reading your speech is handing out copies of your PowerPoint presentation and then reading the presentation to the audience, word-by-word.
- Thou Shalt Not Steal the Time of Them that Follow Thee. Keep to the time that you have been given. If you "spill over" into the next person's presentation, you are "stealing" their time.
If these commandments can be followed by "the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers", when they have been challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes), then certainly we can keep them in mind as well when we are delivering a presentation.
To your success,

Establishment of CSR centres and networks: a coordinated approach towards CSR promotion
Spreading the core values of CSR across local business communities and reaching a critical mass of enterprises requires a coordinated approach. In this context UNIDO assists governments in the establishment of CSR Centres and Networks at national and regional level.
By doing so, UNIDO offers possibilities for local stakeholders to learn from best practice examples and experiences of companies or institutions with similar cultural, social and economic contexts. Since Corporate Social Responsibility should not be 'imposed' on a business community but rather be 'home-grown', there is a need to develop an approach to CSR that addresses particular common problems of firms in one locality, country or region (e.g. improving health and safety measures for workers, tackling corruption, enhancing the competitiveness, productivity and market access of local businesses, or creating opportunities for the young generation by promoting responsible entrepreneurship in emerging growth sectors). This can only be achieved on a basis of cooperation and coordination among different institutions, which can be achieved most efficiently through the establishment of a network coordinated by a central focal point institution or a centre for CSR excellence.

Knox City Officials Take Up Complaints
By: Brendaliss Gonzalez
Updated: July 17, 2012
"When there is a complaint you know or someone has reported something they should look into it," said Elda Martinez.
Knox City resident Elda Martinez says shes going to do whatever it takes for someone to listen.
"It's just time to go ahead and for all these people in Knox City to stand up," she said.
She personally handed more than 20 written complaints to city council members.
Those residents claim a local police officer has taken his badge privileges too far.
They hope their words will bring some kind of change.
"This is just getting a little bit too out of hand," said Debbie Gutierrez, whose husband claims a police officer maced him for no reason, "there are certain ways to stop a person and not automatically assume that they're thugs on the street," she said.
Now they wait, as city council members review their complaints and decided how to regard them.
"We'll do our research and investigate the complaints, see if they're worthy of taking the next step which would be such as discipline or anything of that nature," said Knox City admin.Chad Roberts.
Residents continued to arrive as they waited for the members to conclude an executive session where they reviewed the complaints.
They sat patiently anticipating the outcome.
"Yeah you definitely receive complaints on officers from time to time, but nothing of this magnitude," said Roberts.
Even though it may not be the one they want.
"I would be very devastated if that's the case, but like I say, I guess well just keep fighting it," said Gutierrez.
City officials say it will take up to two weeks before an official decision is made regarding the officer in question.

I started out by building a cross-compiling toolchain using crosstool. This required finding/modifying some patches, but I eventually got it to work.
I then used that toolchain to build a native toolchain (--build=i686-linux-gnu --host=arm-softfloat-linux-gnu --target=arm-softfloat-linux-gnu).
I then set up a Debian/Arm system in qemu and created a chroot environment in it, containing busybox and the toolchain I built.
Now when I try to link a trivial C program, I get the following error message:
debian-arm:~/wiz-native# chroot . /bin/ash debian-arm:/# cd root/ debian-arm:/root# gcc -o foo foo.c /usr/lib/gcc/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/4.0.2/../../../../arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: ld-linux.so.2, needed by /lib/libc.so.6, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__libc_stack_end@GLIBC_2.1' /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_r_debug@GLIBC_2.0' /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_argv@GLIBC_PRIVATE' /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_rtld_global_ro@GLIBC_PRIVATE' /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_out_of_memory@GLIBC_PRIVATE' /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_rtld_global@GLIBC_PRIVATE' /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__libc_enable_secure@GLIBC_PRIVATE' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
If I follow the advice given in the error message, it works:
debian-arm:/root# gcc -o foo foo.c -Wl,-rpath=/lib
Some googling revealed that this could mean that the toolchain I've built does not know it is a native toolchain,
therefore making no assumptions on library locations... I have not found a way to fix this yet. One hint I found was to change the "specs" file, but my toolchain
has not installed any such file. Also "gcc -dumpspecs" says:
[...] *cross_compile: 0 [...]
Any ideas on how to proceed?

Coming next week: My annual ranking of the top 15 Northeast Ohio sports business stories of the year. Biz of Baseball's Maury Brown reported earlier Friday that Major League Baseball's revenue sharing pot — which is distributed unevenly to the league's clubs and is based on their revenues — reached $400 million for 2012. Quickly, Quikly!
I had posed some questions to Quikly's Brian Rudolph about yesterday's blog that focused the new deals site, which is backed by Dan Gilbert. Here's Brian's responses and some more background on the company and how it got started: We're engaged in conversation with several locations, teams, and arenas; that being said, the focus of our initial rollout is on Cleveland. A few weeks ago we ran an offer for the Cavaliers and the results were amazing. It became apparent from there on out that Cleveland would be the perfect fit to roll out Quikly. This week, we're offering tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters at The Q. Between the holiday break and the game being a family affair, we couldn't be more excited to make this happen. The game is Thursday, December 27th. Premium tickets that are normally $37 will start as low as $5. I can't say this enough, though: The price of the tickets will rapidly climb, so you will have to act fast! Quikly was founded in 2012 by Shawn Geller and Scott Meves. Initially based in Philadelphia, Scott and Shawn made the move to Detroit to be a part of the startup revolution Downtown. Now based out of the M@dison building in Downtown, Shawn, Scott and the rest of the Quikly team are excited to be a part of Detroit's comeback story. Fallen star
Cleveland Cavaliers fans always point to the rumors a few years back of the team's apparent inability to trade for Amare Stoudemire, around the same time they landed Shaquille O'Neal. I mention Stoudemire because his current team, the New York Knicks, are on fire without Stoudemire … and apparently wanted to unload him for a bag of balls. If you're not following me on Twitter, what are you waiting for? And, I trust you're listening to Crain's podcasts? And, of course, email me with any news tips you see fit for this space.

Heroin, crack, cash impounded as police swoop on Worcester drugs gang
12:04pm Friday 8th March 2013 in News
ELEVEN people have been charged with conspiracy to supply drugs following a year-long investigation into a Worcester-based gang.
The gang, targeted by West Mercia Police's Serious and Organised Crime Unit, is thought to have been active since 2008 dealing in heroin, crack, amphetamines and cannabis.
During the course of the investigation, the unit has arrested 20 suspects, seized drugs with a street value of approximately £100,000 and seized more than £100,000 in cash.
This week saw the operation's final arrest phase, which saw 11 people arrested. Eight of them have been charged with conspiracy to supply Class A and Class B drugs.
This brings to 11 the total number charged; three other people from Birmingham were arrested and charged in January.
Detective Inspector Carl Moore, who led the operation, said: "We believe our investigation has uncovered an organised crime group involved in a widespread conspiracy to supply controlled drugs that also resulted in a number of incidents of violence and intimidation.
"More than 12 months of work has gone into the operation, but there is much more to do as we and our partners at the CPS bring a large number of suspects to court. We are also working towards further potential charges and a number of suspects remain on police bail while inquires continue."

In order to "dispel rumors" about changes to the Fisheries Act the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Keith Ashfield spoke to a small contingent of people in Pitt Meadows Monday afternoon.
Ashfield said the federal government will make the transformations necessary to sustain economic growth, job creation, and prosperity, for now and for the next generation.
"We are not immune to the global economic uncertainty that threatens every country in the world. However, every country in the world has a choice to make: whether to create the conditions for growth and prosperity, or to risk long-term economic decline," Ashfield said.
The government intends to focus its efforts on recreational, commercial, and Aboriginal fisheries, while drawing a distinction between vital waterways and unproductive bodies of water.
The Act will also identify and manage threats, including habitat destruction, invasive species, and impacts to fish.

Agora 2.0 is a group of Italian young people devoted to create a software for law creation, law amending and law voting
The group is working to create a software to enable collaborative governance. The system shall include law proposal, law amending and law voting. So far, the group has been tiepid in adopting vote delegation as there are fears of problems of vote intimidation and rigging.
Blueprint for a new confederation
This site is based on "As the People Want It, Blueprint for a new confederation" published by Fremskrittspartiets Utredningsinstitutt, an independent research institute dedicated to political and economic research and analysis in Oslo, Norway in 1992. (ISBN 82-7500-007-6).

A civic lottery, a popular term for the contemporary use of sortition or allotment, refers to a lottery-based method for selecting citizens for public service or office. It is based on the premise that citizens in a democracy have both a duty and the desire to serve their society by participating in its governance.
Today, the most common use of the civic lottery process is found in many Anglo-Saxon judicial systems where citizen juries are summoned to hear and render verdicts in court cases. The term for this is popularly known as jury duty.

IGN Review (7.3 out of 10)
It's been a long, long time since we've seen a good action-based Star Wars game hit consoles. Raven did the PC right with a handful of Jedi Knight titles, but console gamers have been left out in the cold on Hoth for many years now. LucasArts hopes to change all that with Star Wars: The Force Unleas...more

Its a term That Plaknum from xboxlive says meaning LAUGHING OUT KICKING LOUD
Like your laughing so much that your leg is kicking. After watching The Onion Movie I LOKL
Dude that joke made me LOKL A term from lol |
It's a combination of the words lol and OK. It's most commonly used when someone says something silly/stupid that you don't agree with but it's not worth your time to correct them, but it also can be used simply as an acknowledgment.
AIM Conversation 1:
IluvGWB: Don't vote for Obama because he's a muslim and a terrorist IheartDeucesCracked: LOKL ---------------------- AIM Conversation 2: BigSlick12345: Phil Hellmuth is the greatest NL Hold'em player alive netPokerPro123: lokl ---------------------- AIM Conversation 3: PokerChuck123: omg amy winehouse is the nuts. She is so smokin' hot!!!111 Aaron1234: LOKL! |
2. | lokl | ||
South African derivation - "Laugh Out Kak Loud"
"Kak" = used to emphasis the laughter. (South African)Person 1 - dude, he asked me if I have a lion as a pet.
(South African)Person 2 - lokl my bro! |
4. | lokl | ||
A combination of lol and ok used together (often because the realization is obvious.) or because you're taking immediate action on the reply - or expressing understanding. Variant is lolk which is more of an acknowledgement. "I can't find my glasses"
"that's because they're on top of your head." "lokl ;-)" or "He's gonna get play tonight!" "why?" "Cuz she's a dyson vacuum cleaner" "lolk!" |
5. | lokl | ||
An abbreviaton for laugh out kangaroo loud.It was first a misspelling but shall start a revolution!! USE LOKL AND WE SHALL SOON RULE THE WORLD!!!
(usually used only by insane people in online chat rooms) Bob:Wise man once said he who stands on toilet is high on pot.
Zeekeryarydoodopieman:Lokl im gonna drink some toilet water after getting high on pot!!!! |

Re: sharing food?
Absolutely. We do it all the time. If you are at a buffet or Victoria and Albert's then you will not be able to share, of course but any other restaurant is very able to accomodate your request.
Often we order "for the table" and then request two small plates for ourselves. For instance at Chefs du France (the ground floor full service restaurant in France at the World Showcase) we order the nicoise salade, the charcuterie plate, and the cheese plate "pour le table" and then have two small plates to fill from each of the serving plates.
The portion sizes are large enough for two. Double check for sharing charges. Most places do not have them, but some will slip them in so be sure to ask if you want to be positive.
Counter service meals can be shared too, of course. Or, you can order a child's meal for an adult.Thank you for being a member of our Secrets Family!!! We are so very pleased to have you with us!
If you haven't joined yet, do register. It's a great place to make friends and share all those Disney secrets!!
Re: sharing food?

"If today is a typical day
on planet Earth, we will lose 116 square miles of rainforest, or about an acre a second.
We will lose another 72 square miles to encroaching deserts, as a result of human
mismanagement and overpopulation. We will lose 40 to 100 species, and no one knows whether
the number is 40 or 100. Today the human population will increase by 250,000. And today we
will add 2,700 tons of chlorofluorocarbons to the atmosphere and 15 million tons of
carbon. Tonight the Earth will be a little hotter, its waters more acidic, and the fabric
of life more threadbare." ...... David Orr (1991), "
What is Education For?".
This hypertext book deals with the problems of trying to preserve biological diversity on the earth. We will discuss the history of life on earth, the reasons for depletion and extinction of animals and plants at various times including the present, the reasons for being concerned about these losses, and what can be done to preserve some of what is left.
Read the Living Planet 2002 Report, by the World Wildlife Fund, to see graphic illustrations of humanity's impact on the natural resources of the planet, and read about a new comprehensive plan to save the planet, drafted by an unprecedented combination of scientists, environmentalists and business leaders in August 2000.
We live at a critical time for the conservation of biological resources on earth. The Living Planet Index, a measure reflecting the state of the world's forests, freshwater and marine ecosystems, fell by 37% between 1970 and 2000 according to the Living Planet 2002 Report.
In the recent past, the level of biological diversity was the highest the world has ever seen. However, the number of species is not known, even to the nearest order of magnitude. The number of described species is about 1.4 million; but the total is estimated at about 5 million. It has taken 3.5 billion years for this biodiversity to evolve, and we are rapidly destroying it. Whereas the natural rate of extinction is estimated at about one species per year, the present rate is estimated at 10,000 times that - about one per hour - and almost all of these losses are caused by human activities. We probably have already lost 1 million species, and several more million will be lost in the first few decades of the 21st century.
Table 1 gives the number of recorded extinctions between 1600 and 1983. Notice that:
- the total number of recorded extinctions is over 700;
- over half of these are vascular plants;
- a very large fraction are island forms, especially with reptiles and birds.
The data are probably most accurate for birds and mammals
since these are the most conspicuous of the types of organisms listed. 113 species of
birds and 83 species of mammals were definitely lost during this period.

The number of inconspicuous forms, like insects, that have gone extinct is probably much higher than the number shown on the list. Many of these species are becoming extinct before they are even studied or named by scientists.
In the U.S., where research is probably more intensive than in many other countries, 631 species are known to have been lost since 1642, and the total is probably well over a thousand. Hawaii, Alabama, and California lead the nation in number of extinctions.
The reasons for extinction are changing. In prehistoric times, natural disasters and competition with other species were the main causes. In historic times, overexploitation and exotic species introductions have caused many extinctions. But today, the main problems facing wildlife are destruction of habitat and pollution.
Tropical forest is being destroyed at the rate of 40,000 square miles = an area the size of Ohio, per year. This is mainly due to slash-and-burn agriculture in areas of high population growth, in which small areas are cleared and used for a few years until they become infertile, and then more acreage is cleared. About 44% of the original tropical moist forest on the earth is now gone. It has been estimated that 15-20% of all species will become extinct by the year 2000 because of the destruction of tropical forests. This rate is about 10,000 times as high as the rate prior to the existence of human beings.
Other habitats are also being destroyed - temperate forests, deserts, wetlands, and coral reefs are all being destroyed at alarming rates, either for profit or to make room for housing, agriculture, ports and other human activities. Damming of rivers has depleted salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest to such an extent that many of the runs are extinct and others have been listed as endangered.
A 1996 study by the World Conservation Union found that 25 percent of mammal and amphibian species, 11 percent of birds, 20 percent of reptiles and 34 percent of fish species are threatened with extinction. About 10 percent of the world's tree species are in danger of extinction.
The fundamental reason for the degradation and loss of habitat is the explosive growth of the human population. Since 1900 the world's population has more than tripled. Since 1950 it has more than doubled, to 6 billion. Every year 90 million more people (= 3x the population of California) are added to the planet. All of these people need places to live, work and play, and they all contribute to habitat loss and global pollution.
Our generation is the first one that really became aware of the fact that the human population is causing irreparable damage to the planet - to the air, water and soil of the planet and to its biological resources. Ours is not the first generation to do damage to the planet, but we are the first to realize the extent of the problem.
Ours is the only generation that can prevent a massive loss of biological diversity. Huge losses have already taken place and we will have to make major changes in the way we treat the planet if we are to save it in anything like an intact state.
If we are lucky, ours will be the first generation in which
the main principles guiding our governments will not be economic and political systems,
but will be learning to live on the planet without destroying it: learning to live, work,
grow food, trade, and develop a sustainable way of life that serves the continuing needs
of our descendants, and the other species present on earth, as well as ourselves.

The purpose of Conservation Biology is to find ways of maintaining the high levels of
biological diversity that are seen in today's world. But first, in order to appreciate
that diversity, we need to understand how it has evolved, and what a complicated series of
geological, climatic and biological events have led up to the present day situation.
Therefore, we will review briefly the history of life on earth. Visit the virtual Museum
of Paleontology at the University of California at Berkeley to find more information and
illustrations regarding any of the topics or geological periods mentioned.
The chart shows the life forms that have been present on the earth since Cambrian
times, and whose fossils are therefore found in different layers of rocks. Each time a new
layer of rock is deposited (usually by sedimentation) it is on top of the older layers, so
the chart reflects this order. Four eras, some subdivided into periods and epochs,
are recognized, and are characterized by typical life forms.
The history of global biological diversity is best seen in the marine animals since the ocean is where life started, and marine animals are the best represented in the fossil record. The chart in the slide show shows the number of families of marine organisms on the earth at different times in biological history.

Biological diversity was dramatically depleted by five mass extinction episodes at the ends of the Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic and Cretaceous Periods. At each of these times a large fraction of existing species was wiped out, leaving the survivors to repopulate the biological world. The most famous of these was the extinction at the end of the Cretaceous because this ended the age of dinosaurs and made possible the evolution and dominance of mammals. But it was not the most devastating of the mass extinctions.
Multicellular animals first appeared about 600 million years ago in the early Paleozoic and there was a rapid rise in number of families during the Cambrian and Ordovician. Diversity remained relatively constant (perhaps even declining) up until about 200 million years ago and then it rose again to its current all-time high of close to 800 families.
1. Precambrian: The origin of life.
2. Paleozoic ("Ancient Life"): The origin of plants, most invertebrate types, the first vertebrates (back-boned animals, including fishes, amphibians, and reptiles).
3. Mesozoic (the "age of reptiles"): The origin of flowering plants, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals.
4. Cenozoic (the "age of mammals"): The
diversification of flowering plants, insects, birds and mammals, and the appearance of
The origin of life: the Earth was formed about 5 billion years ago. A series of giant meteorites ("the late heavy bombardment") essentially sterilized the planet about 3.8 billion years ago. Rocks 3.5 billion years old contain microfossils of primitive one-celled organisms without a nucleus ("prokaryotes") resembling bacteria and blue-green algae, and carbon isotope ratios characteristic of biological materials, representing the earliest clear signs of life. The first living cells with a nucleus ("eukaryotes") appeared 2 billion years ago, and the first organisms made up of multiple cells (multicellular algae) about 1.8 billion years ago.
A third major group of organisms, called Archaea, consisting
of about 500 species but making up about 30% of the biomass on Earth, was not discovered
until 1977. They live in the most extreme environments on Earth - the hottest, coldest,
and highest-pressure environments, so they are sometimes called "extremophiles".
Most of their known biomass is in the Antarctic.
After 3 billion years of very little change, all of a sudden during the Cambrian period, there was a frenzy of evolutionary innovation that generated just about all of the major types (phyla and classes) of marine invertebrates plus many others that no longer exist. Accurate dating methods used in 1993 (involving measurements of uranium and lead isotopes) indicate that the explosion happened during a very short period - from 533 to 525 million years ago. This is sometimes called the Cambrian explosion. What caused it is not known - one of the most plausible suggestions is that it followed shortly after marine animals evolved protective shells and cuticles that allowed them to exploit new ecological niches. Another possibility is that more complex body organization became possible after the atmospheric oxygen reached a certain threshold.
Many of the important fossils telling the story of the
Cambrian explosion were found in a fossil bed in the Canadian Rockies called Burgess
Shale, where both soft- and hard-bodied animals were buried in an underwater mudslide and
preserved in water so deep and oxygen-free that they did not decompose. They are described
in a book by Stephen J. Gould called Wonderful Life. View pictures of
the actual fossils, and an on-line exhibit at the Tyrrell museum in Alberta, Canada.
Two different views on the role of chance and selection in evolution: | |
Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of
History by Stephen Jay Gould (1990). W.W. Norton & Company. |
The Crucible of Creation: The Burgess Shale and the Rise of Animals by Simon Conway Morris (1998). Oxford University Press, 272 pp. |
The Cambrian explosion probably generated over 100 major animal groups with fundamentally different body plans, but only about 30 survived to this day. Examples of those that survived are arthropods (insects, spiders, crustaceans), echinoderms (sea urchins and starfish), mollusks (snails, clams), and chordates, the latter represented in the Cambrian by worm-like animals with a rod-like backbone but eventually giving rise to the vertebrates. Although large numbers of new families evolved in the later periods of earth history, these later innovations did not include major reorganizations of the body plan, but rather variations on themes that were established in the Cambrian.
We will look at the kinds of animals and plants that were
present on the earth at different periods, starting with a jump to the Carboniferous
because at that time, both plants and animals had moved out on to the land and were
beginning to diversify.
During the Carboniferous the climate was hot and humid, and
there were extensive swampy forests dominated by giant tree ferns and conifers, club
mosses, and horsetails. The decomposed remains of these plants gave rise to the major coal
and oil reserves of today. There were no flowering plants and no grasses.
Some of the Carboniferous fish breathed air through two lungs, and they had developed lobe-like fins. The fascinating search for a surviving relative, the Coelacanth, has been recounted in Samantha' Weinberg's "A Fish Caught in Time": click on the picture. The Carboniferous fish gave rise to modern bony fishes. In these the fins have lost their lobes, and one lung has been lost and the other converted to a swim bladder. They also gave rise to the amphibians, in which both lungs have been retained and the limbs strengthened and specialized for walking. These amphibians, like modern frogs and salamanders, hatched from eggs and spent their larval period in the water as tadpoles, then moved out on to the land as adults. They were the first land-dwelling vertebrates, and some of them were massive animals two or three feet long. In addition to the primitive amphibians there were some very primitive reptiles that were totally terrestrial, like today's lizards. In these animals the egg gave rise directly to a miniature version of the adult, which could survive on the land.
The arthropods of the Carboniferous had also moved onto the
land and had in fact taken to the air. Many of the ancient insects were gigantic compared
to present day ones, among them mayflies with a 14-inch wing span, and giant six-winged
insects, in which the first pair of wings had been already reduced to nubs but not
eliminated as they are in all present-day insects. These insects had long sucking
mouthparts with which they sucked the juices out of large primitive pinecones. Feeding on
these insects were dragonflies with a 30-inch wingspan!
The land was increasing in altitude in the Permian and the climate was cooler and dryer than it was in the Carboniferous. The landscape at this time was one of low hills with small streams and lakes covered in primitive vegetation such as ferns. Reptiles such as the large sail-backed carnivore Dimetrodon, were common at this time. A number of these early reptiles had elaborate sails on the back. The purpose of these structures is not known although they are thought to have been involved in temperature regulation; that is, to radiate heat when the animal was too hot and to absorb it when the animal was too cold.
The most successful land animals of the middle Permian were the many kinds of mammal-like reptiles, which were quite varied and included both herbivores and carnivores. Most of them were large, heavy and slow moving. We can't tell if they were warm-blooded or if they had mammary glands, like true mammals, but they did have a jaw articulation like that found in mammals and they had several types of teeth, which is a mammalian feature.
At the end of the Permian, 245 million years ago, huge
numbers of animals became extinct. About 96% of all marine animal species and 52% of the
families disappeared in the greatest mass extinction the world has ever known. Recent data
shows that 8 of 27 orders of insects, 21 of 27 families of reptiles, 6 of 9 families of
amphibians and most of the terrestrial plant life disappeared at this time. This happened
over a remarkably short period - about one million years. The most popular theory is that
it was caused by flood volcanism in Siberia - huge continent-sized floods of scorching hot
magma, about a mile deep, poured out from fissures in the Earth's crust and spread over
the land. The eruption lasted for about a million years, generating about 2 million times
as much lava as was involved in the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. This might have
generated enough debris to block out sunlight and trigger an ice age, enough sulfuric acid
to acidify the oceans, and/or enough carbon dioxide to cause global warming by a
greenhouse effect. However, studies reported in 2001 suggest an alternative explanation -
that the extinction might have been caused, like the later one that finished off the
dinosaurs, by a giant meteorite hitting the Earth. Whatever caused the Permian
extinctions; it took about 100 million years for the species diversity to recover from
this event.
Reptiles and mammal-like reptiles dominated the landscape in
the Triassic. Late Triassic was the time when the first true mammals, descendants of the
mammal-like reptiles, appeared. The first ones were small, like Megazostrodon, resembling
a modern shrew.
At the end of the Triassic many of the amphibians, reptiles and most of the mammal-like reptiles disappeared and were replaced by the dinosaurs and crocodiles in addition to some early turtles, lizards and frogs.
The Jurassic and Cretaceous together were the age of giant reptiles. For 150 million years, the dominant vertebrates on the land were the dinosaurs. (By comparison, humans have been on the earth for only about 3 million years).
The dinosaurs are composed of two distinct orders:
The Ornithischians (bird-hip dinosaurs) included the duck-billed dinosaurs or Hadrosaurs; Stegosaurs with their plate-like armor along the back; Ankylosaurs which were heavily armored and flattened, and the rhinoceros-like horned dinosaurs or Ceratopsians (example - Triceratops).
The Saurischians (lizard-hips) included the Sauropods - gigantic herbivorous dinosaurs with extremely long necks and tails, such as Brontosaurus and Brachiosaurus - the largest terrestrial animals that ever lived; and Theropods - carnivorous dinosaurs with enormous skulls, powerful teeth and ridiculously small front legs, Tyrannosaurus being the best known example but Giganotosaurus was bigger. A new species of theropod, about the size of a dog, was recently discovered on Madagascar.
The dominant animals of the oceans were the ichthyosaurs, some of which were as large as medium sized whales, the long-necked plesiosaurs and some marine crocodiles. The dinosaurs also took to the air and evolved some spectacular and huge flying reptiles called pterosaurs. One of them, Quetzalcoatlus, was the largest flying vertebrate the world has ever known, with a 40-foot wingspan!
A different, much smaller type of dinosaur is thought to have evolved into the first bird, Archaeopteryx, some time in the Jurassic.
The predominant land plants in the Jurassic were the Cycads, primitive palm-like seed plants. A few species of cycads still exist in tropical and sub-tropical regions today, and although they are used as ornamental plants some of them are facing possible extinction. Early Cretaceous saw the evolution of flowering plants (angiosperms). The flowers provided a new food source for pollinators, mainly insects, with profound effects on the evolution of those forms.
The end of the Cretaceous saw the culmination of dinosaur evolution. Dinosaurs were more varied and adapted for more different modes of life than any other group, before or since. There were at least 100 species of dinosaurs. Some of them even lived in the Arctic, which was probably a lot warmer than it is now. They had achieved a level of evolutionary success that guaranteed them a permanent place in history, and yet they were soon to disappear entirely from the face of the earth. Several different groups of bird-like dinosaurs had evolved, and all except one - the ancestor of all modern birds - died out at about the same time as the rest of the dinosaurs.

Will the mess under the Harmonee Bridge be cleaned up?
Issue: A reader noticed that the contractor who worked on the Harmonee Bridge left a mess in the parking lot underneath the bridge. He wants to know if this can be cleaned up.
Status: Bill Porter, director of public works, said the work on the Harmonee Bridge is not done. The mess is still there because the contract has not been closed.
This spring the contractor will work on the streetlights, railings and fencing on the bridge, Porter said. Work will resume once the weather warms up.
