The area known as Alta California was colonized by the Spanish Empire beginning in the late 18th century. It and the rest of Mexico became an independent republic in 1821. In 1846 California broke away from Mexico, and after the Mexican-American War, Mexico ceded California to the United States. California was admitted to the United States on September 9, 1850.
It is the third-largest U.S. state by land area. Its geography ranges from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the east, to Mojave desert areas in the southeast and the Redwood-Douglas fir forests of the northwest. The center of the state is dominated by the Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world.
The California Gold Rush (1848-1855) dramatically changed California with a large influx of people and an economic boom. The early 20th century was marked by Los Angeles becoming the center of the entertainment industry, in addition to the growth of a large tourism sector in the state. Along with California's prosperous agricultural industry, other industries include aerospace, petroleum, and computer and information technology. California ranks amongst the ten largest economies in the world, and were it a separate country, it would be 35th among the most populous countries, just behind Kenya.
The name California is most commonly believed to have derived from a storied paradise peopled by black Amazons and ruled by Queen Califia. The myth of Califia is recorded in a 1510 work The Exploits of Esplandian, written as a sequel to Amadís de Gaula by Spanish adventure writer García Ordóñez Rodríguez de Montalvo. The kingdom of Queen Califia, according to Montalvo, was said to be a remote land inhabited by griffins and other strange beasts and rich in gold.
California adjoins the Pacific Ocean, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and the Mexican state of Baja California. With an area of it is the third largest state in the United States in size, after Alaska and Texas. If it were a country, California would be the 35th largest in the world, between Iraq and Paraguay.
In the middle of the state lies the California Central Valley, bounded by the coastal mountain ranges in the west, the Sierra Nevada to the east, the Cascade Range in the north and the Tehachapi Mountains in the south. The Central Valley is California's agricultural heartland and grows approximately one-third of the nation's food. Divided in two by the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, the northern portion, the Sacramento Valley serves as the watershed of the Sacramento River, while the southern portion, the San Joaquin Valley is the watershed for the San Joaquin River; both areas derive their names from the rivers that transit them. With dredging, the Sacramento and the San Joaquin Rivers have remained sufficiently deep that several inland cities are seaports. The Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta serves as a critical water supply hub for the state. Water is routed through an extensive network of canals and pumps out of the delta, that traverse nearly the length of the state, including the Central Valley Project, and the State Water Project. Water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta provides drinking water for nearly 23 million people, almost two-thirds of the state's population, and provides water to farmers on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. The Channel Islands are located off the southern coast.
The Sierra Nevada (Spanish for "snowy range") include the highest peak in the contiguous forty-eight states, Mount Whitney, at 14,505 ft (4,421 m). The range embraces Yosemite Valley, famous for its glacially carved domes, and Sequoia National Park, home to the giant sequoia trees, the largest living organisms on Earth, and the deep freshwater lake, Lake Tahoe, the largest lake in the state by volume.
The state is home to Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, as well as the second lowest and hottest place in the Western Hemisphere, Death Valley.
To the east of the Sierra Nevada are Owens Valley and Mono Lake, an essential migratory bird habitat. In the western part of the state is Clear Lake, the largest freshwater lake by area entirely in California. Though Lake Tahoe is larger, it is divided by the California/Nevada border. The Sierra Nevada falls to Arctic temperatures in winter and has several dozen small glaciers, including Palisade Glacier, the southernmost glacier in the United States.
About 35 percent of the state's total surface area is covered by forests, and California's diversity of pine species is unmatched by any other state. California contains more forestland than any other state except Alaska. Many of the trees in the California White Mountains are the oldest in the world; one Bristlecone pine has an age of 4,700 years.
In the south is a large inland salt lake, the Salton Sea. Deserts in California make up about 25 percent of the total surface area. The south-central desert is called the Mojave; to the northeast of the Mojave lies Death Valley, which contains the lowest, hottest point in North America, Badwater Flat. The distance from the lowest point of Death Valley to the peak of Mount Whitney is less than 200 miles (322 km). Indeed, almost all of southeastern California is arid, hot desert, with routine extreme high temperatures during the summer.
Along the California coast are several major metropolitan areas, including Greater Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and San Diego.
California is famous for Earthquakes in Californias due to a number of faults, in particular the San Andreas Fault. It is vulnerable to tsunamis, floods, droughts, Santa Ana winds, Wildfires in Californias, and landslides on steep terrain, and has several Volcanoes of California.
California climate varies from Mediterranean to subarctic. Much of the state has a Mediterranean climate, with cool, rainy winters and dry summers. The cool California Current offshore often creates summer fog near the coast. Further inland, one encounters colder winters and hotter summers.
Northern parts of the state average higher annual rainfall than the south. California's mountain ranges influence the climate as well: some of the rainiest parts of the state are west-facing mountain slopes. Northwestern California has a temperate climate, and the Central Valley has a Mediterranean climate but with greater temperature extremes than the coast. The high mountains, including the Sierra Nevada, have a mountain climate with snow in winter and mild to moderate heat in summer.
The east side of California's mountains has a drier rain shadow. The low deserts east of the southern California mountains experience hot summers and nearly frostless mild winters; the higher elevation deserts of eastern California see hot summers and cold winters. In Death Valley, the highest temperature in the Western Hemisphere, , was recorded July 10, 1913.
California's large number of endemic species includes relict species which have died out elsewhere, such as the Catalina Ironwood (Lyonothamnus floribundus). Many other endemics originated through differentiation or adaptive radiation, whereby multiple species develop from a common ancestor to take advantage of diverse ecological conditions such as the California lilac (Ceanothus). Many California endemics have become endangered, as urbanization, logging, overgrazing, and the introduction of exotic species have encroached on their habitat.
California boasts several superlatives in its collection of flora; the largest trees, the tallest trees, and the oldest trees. California's native grasses are perennial plants. After European contact, these were generally replaced by invasive species of European annual grasses; and, in modern times, California's hills turn a characteristic golden brown in summer.
The first European to explore the coast as far north as the Russian River was the Portuguese João Rodrigues Cabrilho, in 1542, sailing for the Spanish Empire. Some 37 years later, the English explorer Francis Drake also explored and claimed an undefined portion of the California coast in 1579. Spanish traders made unintended visits with the Manila Galleons on their return trips from the Philippines beginning in 1565. Sebastián Vizcaíno explored and mapped the coast of California in 1602 for New Spain.
Spanish missionaries began setting up twenty-one California Missions along the coast of what became known as Alta California (Upper California), together with small towns and presidios. The first mission in Alta California was established at San Diego in 1769. In 1821, the Mexican War of Independence gave Mexico (including California), independence from Spain; for the next twenty-five years, Alta California remained a remote northern province of the nation of Mexico. Cattle ranches, or ranchos, emerged as the dominant institutions of Mexican California. After Mexican independence from Spain, the chain of missions became the property of the Mexican government and were secularized by 1832. The ranchos developed under ownership by Californios (Spanish-speaking Californians) who had received land grants and traded cowhides and tallow with Boston merchants.
Beginning in the 1820s, trappers and settlers from the United States and Canada began to arrive in Northern California, harbingers of the great changes that would later sweep the Mexican territory. These new arrivals used the Siskiyou Trail, California Trail, Oregon Trail, and Old Spanish Trail to cross the rugged mountains and harsh deserts surrounding California. In this period, Imperial Russia explored the California coast and established a trading post at Fort Ross.
In 1846, settlers rebelled against Mexican rule during the Bear Flag Revolt. Afterwards, rebels raised the Bear Flag (featuring a bear, a star, a red stripe, and the words "California Republic") at Sonoma. The Republic's first and only president was William B. Ide, who played a pivotal role during the Bear Flag Revolt. His term lasted twenty-five days and concluded when California was occupied by U.S. forces during the Mexican-American War.
The California Republic was short lived. The same year marked the outbreak of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). When Commodore John D. Sloat of the United States Navy sailed into Monterey Bay and began the military occupation of California by the United States. Northern California capitulated in less than a month to the U.S. forces. After a series of defensive battles in Southern California, including The Siege of Los Angeles, the Battle of Dominguez Rancho, the Battle of San Pascual, the Battle of Rio San Gabriel, and the Battle of La Mesa, the Treaty of Cahuenga was signed by the Californios on January 13, 1847, securing American control in California. Following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that ended the war, the region was divided between Mexico and the United States; the western territory of Alta California, was to become the U.S. state of California, and Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and Utah became U.S. Territories, while the lower region of California, Baja California, remained in the possession of Mexico.
In 1848, the non-native population of California has been estimated to be no more than 15,000. But after gold was discovered, the population burgeoned with U.S. citizens, Europeans, and other immigrants during the great California Gold Rush. On September 9, 1850, as part of the Compromise of 1850, California was admitted to the United States as a free state (one in which slavery was prohibited).
The seat of government for California under Mexican rule was located at Monterey from 1777 until 1835, when Mexican authorities abandoned California, leaving their missions and military forts behind. In 1849, the Constitutional Convention was first held there. Among the duties was the task of determining the location for the new State capital. The first legislative sessions were held in San Jose (1850-1851). Subsequent locations included Vallejo (1852-1853), and nearby Benicia (1853-1854), although these locations eventually proved to be inadequate as well. The capital has been located in Sacramento since 1854.
Travel between California and the central and eastern parts of the United States was time-consuming and dangerous. A more direct connection came in 1869 with the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad through Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains. After this rail link was established, hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens came west, where new Californians were discovering that land in the state, if irrigated during the dry summer months, was extremely well-suited to fruit cultivation and agriculture in general. Vast expanses of wheat and other cereal crops, vegetable crops, cotton, and nut and fruit trees were grown (including oranges in Southern California), and the foundation was laid for the state's prodigious agricultural production in the Central Valley and elsewhere.
During the early 20th century, migration to California accelerated with the completion of major transcontinental highways like the Lincoln Highway and Route 66. In the period from 1900 to 1965, the population grew from fewer than one million to become the most populous state in the Union. Since 1965, the population has became one of the most diverse in the world. The state is regarded as a world center of technology and engineering businesses, of the entertainment and music industries, and as the U.S. center of agricultural production.
By 2007, California's population is estimated at 36,553,215, making it the most populated state and the 13th fastest-growing state. This includes a natural increase since the last census of 1,909,368 people (that is 3,375,297 births minus 1,465,929 deaths) and an increase due to net migration of 774,198 people into the state. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 1,724,790 people, and migration within the country produced a net decrease of 950,592.
California is the second most populous state of the Americas, exceeded only by São Paulo State, Brazil. More than 12 percent of U.S. citizens live in California and its population is greater than that of all but 34 countries of the world.
California has eight of the top 50 U.S. cities in terms of population. Los Angeles is the nation's second-largest city with a population of 3,849,378 people, followed by San Diego (8th), San Jose (10th), San Francisco (14th), Long Beach (34th), Fresno (36th), Sacramento (37th) and Oakland (44th). Los Angeles County has held the title of most populous county for decades and is more populous than 42 U.S. states.
The center of population of California is at the town of Buttonwillow in Kern County.
California has the largest population of White Americans in the U.S., an estimated 21,810,156 residents. The state has the fifth largest population of African Americans in the U.S., an estimated 2,260,648 residents. California's Asian population is estimated at 4.5 million, approximately one-third of the nation's 14.9 million Asian Americans. California's Native American population of 376,093 is the most of any state.
According to estimates from 2006, California has the largest minority population in the United States, making up 57 percent of the state population. Non-Hispanic whites decreased from 80 percent of the state's population in 1970 to 43 percent in 2006. While the population of minorities accounts for 100.7 million of 300 million U.S. residents, 21 percent of the national total live in California.
The official language of California has been English since the passage of Proposition 63 in 1986. However, many state, city, and local government agencies still continue to print official public documents in numerous languages.
The state has the most Roman Catholics of any state and a large Protestant population, a large American Jewish community, and an American Muslim population.
With a Jewish population estimated at more than 550,000, Los Angeles has the second-largest Jewish community in North America.
California also has the largest Muslim community population in the United States, an estimated 3.4 percent of the population, mostly residing in Southern California. According to figures, approximately 100,000 Muslims reside in San Diego.
As the twentieth century came to a close, forty percent of all Buddhists in America resided in Southern California. The Los Angeles Metropolitan Area has become unique in the Buddhist world as the only place where representative organizations of every major school of Buddhism can be found in a single urban center. The City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Northern California and Hsi Lai Temple in Southern California are two of the largest Buddhist temples in the Western Hemisphere. It also has a growing Hindu population.
California has more members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Temples than any state except Utah. Latter-day Saints (Mormons) have played important roles in the settlement of California throughout the state's history. For example, a group of a few hundred Mormon converts from the Northeastern United States and Europe arrived at what would become San Francisco in the 1840s aboard the ship Brooklyn, more than doubling the population of the small town. Before being called back to Utah by Brigham Young these settlers helped build up the city of Yerba Buena. A group of Mormons also established the city of San Bernardino in Southern California in 1851. According to the LDS Church 2007 statistics, just over 750,000 Mormons reside in the state of California, attending almost 1400 congregations statewide.
However, a Pew Research Center survey revealed that California is somewhat less religious than the rest of the US: 62 percent of Californians say they are "absolutely certain" of the belief in God, while in the nation 71 percent say so. The survey also revealed 48 percent of Californians say religion is "very important", while the figure for the United States is 56 percent.
As of 2007, the gross state product (GSP) is about $1.812 trillion, the largest in the United States. California is responsible for 13 percent of the United States gross domestic product (GDP). As of 2006, California's GDP is larger than all but eight countries in the world (all but eleven countries by Purchasing Power Parity). California is facing a $16 billion budget deficit for the 2008-09 budget year.
California is also the home of several significant economic regions, such as Hollywood (entertainment), Southern California (aerospace), the California Central Valley (agriculture), the Silicon Valley and Tech Coast (computers and high tech), and wine producing regions, such as the Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley and Southern California's Santa Barbara and Paso Robles areas.
In terms of jobs, the five largest sectors in California are trade, transportation, and utilities; government; professional and business services; education and health services; and leisure and hospitality. In terms of output, the five largest sectors are financial services, followed by trade, transportation, and utilities; education and health services; government; and manufacturing.
California's economy is very dependent on trade and international related commerce accounts for approximately one-quarter of the state's economy. In 2007 California exported $134 billion worth of goods, up from $127 billion in 2006 and $117 billion in 2005, surpassing the 2000 peak of $125 billion for two consecutive years. Computers and electronic products are California's top export, accounting for 36 percent of all the state's exports in 2007.
Although agriculture contributes the least toward employment and output, it remains a very important sector in California's economy. Farming-related sales have more than quadrupled over the past three decades, from $7.3 billion in 1974 to nearly $31 billion in 2004. This increase has occurred despite a 15 percent decline in acreage devoted to farming during the period. Factors contributing to the growth in sales-per-acre include more intensive use of active farmlands and technological improvements in crop production.
Per capita personal income was $38,956 as of 2006, ranking 11th in the nation. Per capita income varies widely by geographic region and profession. The Central Valley is the most impoverished, with migrant farm workers making less than minimum wage. Recently, the San Joaquin Valley was characterized as one of the most economically depressed regions in the U.S., on par with the region of Appalachia.
Many coastal cities include some of the wealthiest per-capita areas in the U.S. The high-technology sectors in Northern California, specifically Silicon Valley, in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, have emerged from economic downturn caused by the dot.com bust. In spring 2005, economic growth had resumed in California at 4.3 percent.
California levies a 9.3 percent maximum variable rate income tax, with six tax brackets. It collects about $40 billion per year in income taxes. California's combined state, county and local sales tax rate is from 7.25 to 8.75 percent. The rate varies throughout the state at the local level. In all, it collects about $28 billion in sales taxes per year. All real property is taxable annually, the tax based on the property's fair market value at the time of purchase. This tax does not increase based on a rise in real property values (see Proposition 13). California collects $33 billion in property taxes per year.
California ranks third in the United States in petroleum refining capacity and accounts for more than one-tenth of total U.S. capacity. In addition to oil from California, California's refineries process crude oil from Alaska and foreign suppliers. The refineries are configured to produce cleaner fuels, including reformulated motor gasoline and low-sulfur diesel, to meet strict Federal and State environmental regulations.
Most California motorists are required to use a special motor gasoline blend called California Clean Burning Gasoline (CA CBG). By 2004, California completed a transition from methyl tertiary butyl-ether (MTBE) to ethanol as a gasoline oxygenate additive, making California the largest ethanol fuel market in the United States. There are four ethanol production plants in central and southern California, but most of California's ethanol supply is transported from other states or abroad.
Natural gas-fired power plants typically account for more than one-half of State electricity generation. California is one of the largest hydroelectric power producers in the United States, and with adequate rainfall, hydroelectric power typically accounts for close to one-fifth of State electricity generation. Due to strict emission laws, only a few small coal-fired power plants operate in California.
The Mojave Desert is one of the best sites in the United States for solar power plants. Solar insolation is very high and significant population centers are located in the area. Two prototype systems known as "Solar One" and "Solar Two" produced 10 MW each when they were in operation.
California's two nuclear power plants account for almost one-fifth of total generation, these are:
California leads the United States in electricity generation from nonhydroelectric renewable energy sources, such as wind, geothermal, solar energy, fuel wood, and municipal solid waste/landfill gas resources. A facility known as "The Geysers," located in the Mayacamas Mountains north of San Francisco, is the largest group of geothermal power plants in the world, with more than 750 megawatts of installed capacity. Due to high electricity demand, California imports more electricity than any other state, primarily hydroelectric power from states in the Pacific Northwest (via Path 15 and Path 66) and coal- and natural gas-fired production from the desert Southwest via Path 46.
California's vast terrain is connected by an extensive system of freeways, expressways, and highways. California is known for its car culture, giving California's cities a reputation for severe traffic congestion. Construction and maintenance of state roads and statewide transportation planning are primarily the responsibility of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
One of the state's more visible landmarks, the Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937. With its orange paint and panoramic views of the bay, this highway bridge is a popular tourist attraction and also accommodates pedestrians and bicyclists. It is simultaneously designated as U.S. Route 101 which is part of the El Camino Real (Spanish for Royal Road or King's Highway), and State Route 1 which is also known as the Pacific Coast Highway. Another of the seven bridges in the San Francisco Bay Area is the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, completed in 1936. This bridge transports approximately 280,000 vehicles per day on two-decks, with its two sections meeting at Yerba Buena Island.
Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport are major hubs for trans-Pacific and transcontinental traffic. There are about a dozen important commercial airports and many more general aviation airports throughout the state.
California also has several important seaports. The giant seaport complex formed by the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach in Southern California is the largest in the country and responsible for handling about a fourth of all container cargo traffic in the United States. The Port of Oakland, fourth largest in the nation, handles trade from the Pacific Rim and delivers most of the ocean containers passing through Northern California to the entire USA.
Intercity rail travel is provided by Amtrak California, which manages the three busiest intercity rail lines in the US outside the Northeast Corridor. Integrated subway and light rail networks are found in Los Angeles (Metro Rail) and San Francisco (BART and MUNI Metro). Light rail systems are also found in San Jose (VTA), San Diego (San Diego Trolley), Sacramento (RT Light Rail), and Northern San Diego County (Sprinter). Furthermore, commuter rail networks serve the San Francisco Bay Area (ACE, Caltrain), Greater Los Angeles (Metrolink), and San Diego County (Coaster). Nearly all counties operate bus lines, and many cities operate their own bus lines as well. Intercity bus travel is provided by Greyhound and Amtrak Thruway Coach. The rapidly growing population of the state is straining all of its transportation networks. A regularly recurring issue in California politics is whether the state should continue to aggressively expand its freeway network or concentrate on improving mass transit networks in urban areas.
The California High Speed Rail Authority was created in 1996 by the state to implement an extensive 700 mile (1127 km) rail system. Construction is pending approval of the voters during the November 2008 general election, in which a $9.95 billion state bond would have to be approved.
California is governed as a republic, with three branches of government: the executive branch consisting of the Governor of California and the other independently elected constitutional officers; the legislative branch consisting of the Assembly and Senate; and the judicial branch consisting of the Supreme Court of California and lower courts. The state also allows direct participation of the electorate by initiative, referendum, recall, and ratification. California follows a closed primary system. The state's capital is Sacramento.

The Governor of California and the other state constitutional officers serve four-year terms and may be re-elected only once. The California State Legislature consists of a 40 member Senate and 80 member Assembly. Senators serve four year terms and Assembly members two. Members of the Assembly are subject to term limits of three terms, and members of the Senate are subject to term limits of two terms.
For the 2007–2008 session, there are 48 Democrats and 32 Republicans in the Assembly. In the Senate, there are 25 Democrats and 15 Republicans. The governor is Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger.
California's judiciary is the largest in the United States (with a total of 1,600 judges, while the federal system has only about 840). It is supervised by the seven Justices of the Supreme Court of California. Justices of the Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal are appointed by the Governor, but are subject to retention by the electorate every 12 years.

California is known for having a progressive political culture. In 2008, it was the second state in the country to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples. In contrast, California had previously been the first state, via Proposition 22 in 2000, to pass a law declaring that only marriage between a man and a woman would be recognized. Yet, domestic partnerships were made available to citizens through a law created by the state legislature. Other contemporary values include California's leadership in renewable energy and climate change, as well as enacting statute to protect abortion rights.
Since 1990, California has generally elected Democratic candidates; however, the state has had little hesitance in electing Republican Governors, though many of its Republican Governors, such as Governor Schwarzenegger, tend to be considered "Moderate Republicans" and tend to be more liberal than the party itself.
Democratic strength is centered in coastal regions of Los Angeles County and the San Francisco Bay Area. The Democrats also hold a majority in Sacramento. The Republican strength is greatest in the San Joaquin Valley, which includes the growing cities of Stockton and Modesto. Orange County remains mostly Republican.
Overall, the trend in California politics has been towards the Democratic Party and away from the Republican Party. The trend is most obvious in presidential elections. Additionally, the Democrats have easily won every U.S. Senate race since 1992 and have maintained consistent majorities in both houses of the state legislature. In the U.S. House, the Democrats hold a 34-19 edge for the 110th United States Congress. The U.S senators are Dianne Feinstein (D), a native of San Francisco, and Barbara Boxer (D). The districts in California are usually dominated by one or the other party with very few districts that could be considered competitive. According to political analysts, California should soon gain three more seats, for a total of 58 electoral votes - the most electoral votes in the nation.
The state is divided into 58 counties.
California has 480 incorporated cities and towns, of which 458 are cities and 22 are towns. Under California law, the terms "city" and "town" are explicitly interchangeable; the name of an incorporated municipality in the state can either be "City of (Name)" or "Town of (Name)".
San Jose, San Diego and Benicia became California's first incorporated cities on March 27, 1850. Menifee became the state's most recent and 480th incorporated municipality on October 1, 2008.
The majority of these cities and towns are within one of five metropolitan areas. Sixty-eight percent of California's population lives in its three largest metropolitan areas, Greater Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and the Riverside-San Bernardino Area, known as the Inland Empire. Although smaller, the other two large population centers are the San Diego and the Sacramento metro areas. California is home to the largest county in the contiguous United States by area, San Bernardino County.
The state recognizes two kinds of cities--charter and general law. General law cities owe their existence to state law and consequentially governed by it; charter cities are governed by their own city charters. Cities incorporated in the 19th century tend to be charter cities. All of the state's ten most populous cities are charter cities.
California is also home to such notable private universities such as Stanford University, the University of Southern California (USC), and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). California has hundreds of other private colleges and universities, including many religious and special-purpose institutions.
Public secondary education consists of high schools that teach elective courses in trades, languages, and liberal arts with tracks for gifted, college-bound and industrial arts students. California's public educational system is supported by a unique constitutional amendment that requires 40 percent of state revenues to be spent on education.
California has nineteen major professional sports league franchises, far more than any other state. The San Francisco Bay Area has seven major league teams spread in three cities, San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. While the Greater Los Angeles Area is home to ten major league franchises, it is also the largest metropolitan area not to have a team from the National Football League. San Diego has two major league teams, and Sacramento also has two.
Home to some of the most prominent universities in the United States, California has long had many respected collegiate sports programs. In particular, the athletic programs of UC Berkeley, USC, UCLA, Stanford and Fresno State are often nationally ranked in the various collegiate sports. California is also home to the oldest college bowl game, the annual Rose Bowl, and the Holiday Bowl, among others.

You can't mount blank disks or audio cds because neither contains a
filesystem! You can get the audio data using a ripper or cd player. Pete,
what was that ripper that you recommend?

Alternative cancer ideas for those who may be interested in adjuncts to chemo and radiation
Wonderful foundation with current updated information for survivors dealing with adenoid cystic carcinoma. Also sister site that is international for survivors to connect with others for good sound information on what to expect, and new trials others are in. We also just chat to see how each other are doing. Can actually call them on the phone to ask questions, and yes you talk to a real person !
what to eat--and what not to eat--based on the advice of experts
A friend lent me a copy of the video Forks over Knives. I feel like I need to do anything I can do to control the spread of cancer in my body. Surprise that sugar feeds cancer, chicken "feeds" cancer cells, milk causes an allergic reaction in everybody's body that actually draws calcium OUT of the bone. This movie includes "The China Study". What do I eat then? Eat nothing "that had a mother". Yes that includes fish, eggs, cheese too. Learn to eat Vegan and love the taste of food. Not just grass, delicious warm dishes that include sweet potatoes, lots of vegetables, fresh fruits, yummy flavors. Everything tastes better. We were the only country in the world that drank another animal's milk. All animal fats have cholesterol. No plant fats have cholesterol. Watch this yourself. You will think twice before you eat or buy certain foods. VERY hard to get a vegan meal in most restaurants and the good Vegan restaurants in NYC are packed all day.
Anal cancer is a malignancy occurring in the anus or anal orifice: the endmost gastrointestinal tract opening. It is where solid waste exits the body and it has two sphincter muscles. Usually, this cancer is a squamous cell carcinoma of either a keratinizing or non-keratinizing nature. It is a very rare cancer type that manifests symptoms similar to hemorrhoids. This is one of the reasons why this condition is diagnosed late; some anal cancer patients mistake it for simple hemorrhoids.
Offers information (accurate and updated) for adenoid cystic carcinoma. This is an international group that is dedicated to finding a cure and promoting support for ACC survivors everywhere. Excellant resource !

An illegal immigrant worked undetected at Newark Liberty International Airport for 20 years, and used a dead man's identity to acquire a top position in airport security, officials said.
The man was known to co-workers as Jerry Thomas, and for nearly 20 years he has guarded some of the most secure areas of one of the nation's busiest airports.
He was arrested Monday after authorities discovered he is really an illegal Nigerian immigrant by the name of Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole (among other alilases) who entered the country in 1989, officials said.
CBS Station WCBS reports Oyewole, 54, allegedly assumed the identity of a dead man to get a top security job at the airport. He was arrested at his Elizabeth, N.J., home following an anonymous tip, officials said.
"In this case, the defendant utilized an elaborate and complex scheme of identity theft to defraud his employer, the State of New Jersey, the federal government and the Port Authority," Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Inspector General Robert Van Etten said.

Much of the sense of community that emerges when Brian and others talk about their collective status as asexuals comes from the fact that they have found a virtual neighbourhood where they constantly interact. "It's made it a whole lot easier for us to find each other," Brian says.
One such web forum, called AVEN (for Asexual Visibility and Education Network at www.asexuality.org) was founded by Jay in 2001 and provides extensive information about asexuality along with discussion forums. It began with fewer than 50 members but now boasts more than 1200. People from all over the world have visited the site: from Saudi Arabia, Japan and Cuba.
Convincing the sceptics
Discussion of asexuality in academic circles is virtually non-existent, save for its occurrence in plants, worms and other lowly critters. "It has not been out there, there is nothing written about it," says Nicole Prause, a graduate student at Indiana University in Bloomington, who has done one of the very first studies on the subject.
One reason is that the bulk of research on human sexuality has been driven by the problems sexual activity creates, such as sexually transmitted diseases and teenage pregnancy. "Concern about those problems is what produces money to do research," says John DeLamater, a human-sexuality expert from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
And even when researchers do study people who are not having sex, it is always on the understanding that sexual inactivity is a problem that needs fixing. "Hypoactive sexual desire" is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) - the bible of psychologists and psychiatrists. The manual says this can happen during adolescence and persist throughout a person's life. It is considered a disorder if it causes the person distress.
But the hypoactive sexual desire label fails to acknowledge people who are happy and healthy but have a lifelong aversion to sex and feel no attraction towards men or women. It is this subset of the population whose true sexual identity has not been recognised, argues Jay.
Below the radar
"This is a category that has socially not been manufactured yet. It's below the radar," says sociologist Edward Laumann from the University of Chicago in Illinois, one of the world's top experts on human sexuality. "You have to have someone who is prepared to accept asexuality as a way someone is born, like [having] blue eyes," says Abbott.
This might be a novel view but it's not unreasonable, adds DeLamater. "Motivation to engage in sexual intimacy is a dimension that runs basically from zero to extremely high, and there are probably some people at that zero end," he says.
The question is whether that zero end represents a tiny sliver of the sexuality bell curve or a substantial slice. The limited research on asexual mammals suggests that asexual behaviour is actually not that rare. For example, studies in rats and gerbils done as early as the 1980s have demonstrated that up to 12% of the males in the population are not interested in females.
Named "duds," these animals are described as asexual in the literature. But because males are so aggressive, it had not been possible to put one of these individuals in a cage with another male to test whether their lack of interest in females was had to do with attraction to males.
Sheep studies
In the 1990s, however, three separate teams from the US Sheep Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho, Oregon State University in Corvallis and the Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, tackled this question. In one study, young but sexually mature rams were put in a pen with females on 18 different occasions to assess their partner preference.
As expected, the majority of rams mated vigorously with the ewes, but around 10% did not mount the females or show any interest. Those rams were then put in a pen beside either two males or two females and behavioural tests measured the number of times the animals showed "interest" (kicks, vocalisations, sniffs, mount attempts) towards members of either sex.
Some of the rams - between 5% and 7% of the population - tried to mount, sniff and sexually interact with other rams. Intriguingly, another group - some 2% to 3% of the population - showed no interest towards either males or females. "They have no interest whatsoever in mating," says Fredrick Stormshak from the Oregon team. "They appear to be 100% asexual."
This asexual preference still held when the tests were performed one year later. Stormshak believes these asexual rams could offer a good model for understanding the basis of asexual behaviour in mammals. They could be used, for example, to see if the hormone levels in these animals are different.
Although such studies might offer insights into asexuality in people, comparisons between such different creatures as humans and sheep are controversial and should be made very cautiously. The closest we have got to understanding human asexuals comes from studies - mostly surveys - of people who report not having sex.

Braden Collection of Colonial South American Art
- Dates: April 9, 1949 through September 5, 1949
- Collections: Arts of the Americas
... more
April 8, 1949: The Brooklyn Museum will open today (April 8th) a special exhibition of South American colonial art with a private preview for Museum Members. The exhibition will be open to the public tomorrow (April 9th) and will remain on view through September 11. The collection which was gathered together by Mrs. William Braden was recently purchased by the Museum.
Mrs. Braden was one of the first North Americans to collect arts of Spanish America which show both native and European influences. Although the ancient cultures had received attention throughout the world for some time, until recent years there has been little appreciation outside of South America of the products which belong to the period following the Spanish Conquest. Mrs. Braden's collecting in this field was very early for it was about fifty years ago that she began to acquire examples of 17th and 18th century furniture, paintings, silver etc., and during her long residence in Chile as well as in Peru and other Andean countries she obtained a great number of the distinguished and beautiful objects in this recent acquisition. It is fitting that this collection should come to the Brooklyn Museum which has pioneered in this country in special and permanent exhibitions in this field.
The furniture includes massive, intricately carved tables and cabinets from Peru; chests and table cabinets with delicate inlay of wood or tortoise shell and ivory. Chairs are of various types: some with leather backs from Ecuador, a Bishop's throne from the Church of La Compania in Arequipa, and others covered with damask from Chile. Doors, window shutters and iron grills add impressively to the reconstruction of Colonial rooms which this collection makes possible.
Religious paintings of the Cuzco school are richly represented. One shows episodes connected with St. Sophronia, another the Virgin of Cocharcas, and members of the Holy Family are depicted both in oil paintings and in sculpture. Ecclesiastical and domestic silver, weaving and leather are shown in this fine collection.
The entire collection is colonial period (approximately 1600 to 1800).
Press preview: Monday, April 4 - 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

The roller coaster ride in Southwest activity during crown petroleum and natural gas rights sales continues, with the region making a first to last switch during the December crown sale.
The Swift Current region produced $1.5 million in interest during the calendar year-end sale this month, the lowest total generated in the area since Dec. 2009. Just two months ago during the October sale the Southwest led the province in activity with $4.3 million in activity.
In the past nine sales the Southwest has been fourth a total of five times, while they have led the province three times.
The calendar year end interest in the Southwest finished at $73.4 million, the second best totals on record.
Province wide the December total generated $20.8 million in activity, the lowest year-end sale since 2007's $15 million year finish.
However, the calendar year end totals finished at $248.9 million, and pushing 2011 to the four-best crown land sale revenue year on record.
"We're pleased by the strong interest companies expressed in the parcels on offer in the December sale," Energy and Resources Minister Bill Boyd stated in a press release. "We've seen a trend in the latter part of the year of companies concentrating on working the assets they have already acquired.
"Our drilling numbers, especially those for horizontal wells, continue to track well ahead of last year's pace and the demand for drilling and service rigs remains higher here than in Alberta and British Columbia. This activity and these recent land acquisitions bode well for an industry that helps drive our economy and which invests more than $4 billion into exploration and development work each year."
The Weyburn-Estevan area generated well over half of the provincial activity with sales of $13.2 million, followed by the Lloydminster area at $4.1 million, while the Kindersley-Kerrobert region was third at $2 million.
The next sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas dispositions will be held in February 2012.

Just a good guy - seeking a great girl.
Hey - I live on my own in downtown SD, pay my own rent, and even do my own laundry! Most days my socks match and I even remember to shave as I get to work on time-ish. If you're not impressed yet, you must not have a pulse- I'm very easygoing and fun-loving. I definitely have a pretty dry/sarcastic sense of humor; I've noticed that being with the right person brings this out even more so if that's you, awesome. I'm sometimes dorky, often charming, and always passionate. I believe in chivalry and am as "old fashioned" as a kid raised in the LA area can be- I just moved to San Diego for my career and so far I'm really liking the area. Even though I'm a relaxed person, I'm very driven when it comes to my career and obtaining goals. I'm currently working as a first year associate attorney at my law firm, its intellectually demanding and providing me with really good experience for whatever comes next. I'm born and raised in the LA area and I love the beach/ocean, baseball games, and drinking good wine. I enjoy dining out and trying new restaurants. Based on experience, I'm equally comfortable going out or staying in. In terms of having fun, I really think its more about who you are with more than where you are or what your doing. So I guess I am looking for that person- I'm looking for someone funny, smart, and hey -cute never hurts. Shoot me a quick message or wink if you'd like to chat and get to know each other better.

Transparency, content integrity, controlling costs and managing complexity are FOIA and eDiscovery challenges. Data volumes have increased new data types are emerging, potentially relevant data roams across your agency network, the cloud, and social media outlets and finally quick FOIA response and eDiscovery production are demanded. It is imperative that you proactively prepare for FOIA requests and litigation, simplify your workflow and make eDiscovery costs predictable.
In this day and age it is absolutely critial that organizations and agencies maintain secure access to information, respond effectively to public requests for information, and maintain a transparent, accountable and agile government. How can you speed decision-making based on a deeper understanding of your data in the early stages of response and discovery, while using defensible processes?
In this webinar, we will examine the following critical building blocks for deploying early stage discovery strategies to address these changes:

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 12, 10:05 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Cowan Spectrum (7,000) -- Moscow, Idaho. Television: None. Home Record: NMSU 7-1, Idaho 3-3. Away Record: NMSU 2-6, Idaho 3-4. Neutral Record: NMSU 0-1, Idaho 0-1. Conference Record: NMSU 3-2, Idaho 2-2. Series Record: New Mexico State leads, 20-4.
GAME NOTES: While they may be a bit winded after playing a pair of overtime periods two nights ago, the New Mexico State Aggies are still ready to battle the Idaho Vandals in Western Athletic Conference action at the Cowan Spectrum.
The Aggies were at Key Arena on Thursday night aiming for their first three- game win streak of the season and were able to realize that goal, but not before having to play an additional 10 minutes against Seattle in an 83-82 final. The victory moved NMSU to 3-2 in conference play.
As for the Vandals, they are moving in the opposite direction at the moment with back-to-back defeats. Also hitting the hardwood two nights ago, Idaho was pitted against Denver at home and came away with a disappointing 55-49 loss, marking the team's lowest-scoring output of the campaign.
Even though both teams won on their home floors last season, NMSU still owns a commanding 20-4 advantage in the all-time series.
For their first multiple-overtime game since 2008, the Aggies came out on the winning side against Seattle on Thursday night, thanks in large part to Bandja Sy who not only scored 23 points, but he hit a 3-pointer at the end of regulation to force the first overtime period. Sy shot just 6-of-11 at the free-throw line, but made up for it with nine rebounds, while Tyrone Watson and Daniel Mullings both scored in double figures with 26 and 19 points, respectively. Mullings filled his stat line with seven rebounds and seven steals, but he was also charged with seven of the team's 19 turnovers as well. Now with a team-best 36 thefts on the season, Mullings is also first with 15.3 ppg as he shooting 55.0 percent from the floor. Watson checks in with 10.8 ppg and a team-best 51 assists, while Sy (9.7 ppg) is tops on the glass with almost seven rebounds per game.
After nearly knocking off Utah State five days earlier, the Vandals were stymied by Denver at the Cowan Spectrum on Thursday as they scored a mere 49 points. Stephen Madison was responsible for a game-high 19 points and Connor Hill contributed 12 as he knocked down 3-of-6 behind the 3-point line, which means the rest of the unit combined for only 20 points. Over the course of 40 minutes, Idaho got off only 35 field goal attempts, making 17, which means the Vandals ended up with more turnovers (18) than conversions from the floor. Kyle Barone was credited with only five points and six boards, not to mention six turnovers, which is rather disappointing considering he is first on the team in both scoring (14.8 ppg) and rebounding (10.0 rpg) in conference games thus far. Madison (13.5 ppg) is also a key contributor on offense versus WAC foes, although his 2-of-15 shooting out on the perimeter has to be a concern.
The Aggies might be a tired bunch, but chances are they still have enough offensive firepower to take care of Idaho, even on the road.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: New Mexico State 75, Idaho 63

The SSE chairman said the GIB had backed 25 projects across its target sectors of offshore wind, energy efficiency and waste, and all 25 were on track commercially.
The GIB had worked with 60 co-investors, directly committing £750 million which would mobilise over £3bn, had invested in 30% of the UK's offshore wind capacity, and had financed the UK's first large-scale conversion from coal to biomass.
Lord Smith said the bank had also last year helped launch the UK's first listed renewable energy fund Greencoat Capital, adding: "The Greencoat model has now been successfully copied at least four more times to date in the UK alone with the sector now providing in excess of £1.2bn of capital."
Lord Smith said the 2013 NAPF workplace survey had found over 40% of scheme members wanting their savings to be invested in a pension fund which combined financial return with making a contribution to society.

Audio Samples
Track List
Album Notes
This generously programmed CD was derived from two different early-'60s albums by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir that happen to fit together by virtue of the common period shared by the repertory. Their approach to the music is somewhat different from that of the Roger Wagner Chorale, who generally take a more robust, full-bodied, and direct approach to this repertory. Under Richard Condie's direction, by contrast, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir generally go for subtle, highly restrained dynamics, even on full-blooded numbers like "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," "The Battle Cry of Freedom," "He's Gone Away" (which is doubly fascinating to hear in a more authentic form than the version popularized by the Serendipity Singers around same period), and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" -- there are aspects of the latter song that listeners might never have noticed before, and the arrangement is clever in its own quiet way. It's really only on the songs that are impossible to sing any other way, such as "The Bonnie Blue Flag," that they cut loose, and even there, it's the women's voices that have the dominant role. A pair of organists, Alexander Schreiner and either Frank Asper or Robert Cundick, provide the accompaniment. Eight Stephen Foster songs fill out the CD after the baker's dozen of Civil War songs, and they are memorable, if a little less compelling. The annotation is not only generous and highly detailed, but as informative about the choir as it is about the songs. ~ Bruce Eder

Samsung Galaxy S II 5 Stars
Mobile phones don't improve with age, and last year's wunderkind can be this year's has-been. So while the Samsung Galaxy S may not quite be in the bargain bin just yet, we were nevertheless still happy to hear its successor announced at the Mobile World Congress in February. So, we have been very patient and have now managed to get our hands on one.
Looking good
The original Galaxy S has a very definite look of the iPhone 3GS about it – not a bad thing, but it was hardly original. Of course, most touch-display candybar phones are going to look a bit the same – especially if they come in black and silver – but we're pleased to say that the Galaxy S II has done its own thing when it comes to design. Its 4.3in screen is bigger than its predecessor's and it is a Super AMOLED Plus screen. In terms of colours and pixels, it's quite similar to the original, but its high contrast ratio and dual-core processor mean it offers better colours and vibrancy. It may not be up there with the iPhone 4's Retina Display, but it's not far off.
To squeeze in that screen, the Galaxy S II has been made quite long, but it's also pretty slim – at just 8.49mm. It boasts sharp edges and a correlated reverse, and looks rather snazzy. The only downside to the back cover is that it doesn't seem very sturdy when you take it off to remove the battery – which you need to do if you want to hot swap memory cards. And it's hard to get it back on too. There's also a small 'chin' at the bottom, but it still looks good.
TouchWiz 4.0
The touch-screen is really responsive – which results in a smooth experience for the user. The handset runs on the latest Android OS – Gingerbread 2.3 – but it also features Samsung's own TouchWiz 4.0 UI. TouchWiz has not always proved popular in the past but this updated version is much better. The icons have a touch of the 3D, and there are Live Panels on all the home screens, of which there are seven. There is also a real-time weather widget – a bit like those on HTC's Android phones. The graphics aren't in the same league, but we did like the fact that you can add 10 different cities.
You can also add widgets and shortcuts to your home screens by dragging and dropping from the main menu – or you can simply keep your finger on the display – which makes the menu option pop up. There is a virtual panel or grid system, so it's not possible to drag the icon just where you want it, but it's not a major issue. What we did find strange was the face that two of the four 'set' icons at the bottom of each home screen actually do the same thing. Choose either the Contacts or Phone icons and you'll be taken to groups, contacts logs and favourites – it's a shame they didn't use one of the icons for something more useful, such as the camera. If you want to see all the home screens as thumbnails, you can pinch and pull – quicker than trying to scroll through each one individually.
For messaging you can choose between the traditional QWERTY or the newer SWYPE method. While inputting using SWYPE is speedy, it's just a shame that the space bar and full stop key are so close to each other, making it a tricky operation. If you're not familiar with SWYPE, the way it works is that you slide a finger from key to key and then lift off your finger when you've finished a word. It might sound odd but it works pretty well. When texting, hold the device horizontally and the screen will autor-rotate so your messages appear in the left of the display and on the right will pop up the last message with your chosen contact and your text entry box.
Finger fun
Something else new on the Galaxy S II is gesture control. Using the handset's accelerometers, you hold two fingers on the screen when browsing and then pull the handset towards you to zoom in, and then tilt it away to zoom out. And should you be dragging and dropping widgets, choose the panel and home screen you want by moving the phone from side to side. Incidentally, we found it really fast to browse, even if we had several web pages open. There are two reasons for this – the main one being the dual-core 1.2Ghz processor, and also due to the HSDPA and Wi-Fi connections. We experienced near instant streaming of YouTube videos, with hardly any buffering needed. We also found we could upload to sites including Flickr, YouTube and Facebook really speedily – the HSDPA connection offered speeds of up to 5.76Mbps.
You can also download games from the Games Hub. There's not much content to choose from at the moment, but that will change – and it is also possible to try all the games before you purchase. Hubs are also offered for Social, Reader and Music. We very much liked the Reader Hub, a virtual bookcase that gives access to magazines, books and newspapers from around the world. You can subscribe to your favourite ones and they will be downloaded automatically when a new version is released. You'll have to zoom in to read, especially newspapers, but it's handy if you want to read up on the latest news on a long commute.
Samsung's Music Hub is supposed to compete with iTunes, but it can't match up in either content or user experience. You can look for titles or artists, or you can browse through the genre to recommended areas. It's also possible to make your own albums and playlist from the tunes you buy. The Social Hub can be used to integrate text messages, social network feeds, emails and Instant Messaging info into a single feed. It is also possible to choose how often updates are made, but do consider any data charges when you set it up.
Android phones don't boast the best in cameras, apart from a few such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc; instead they always seem like a bit of an afterthought. We were disappointed by the lack of dedicated shutter key, but on the other hand we liked the speed of the shutter, the autofocus, eight megapixels, auto-focus and smile and face detection. We were pleased to see LED flash, as it was missing on the first Galaxy, and there was no chance of taking nighttime pictures. One issue is that the phone is lengthy and when holding it horizontally to take a picture it resulted in us covering up the lens with a finger. The pictures didn't seem to be as colourful when we uploaded them to Facebook, but video was much better. We do think that overall the camera deserves some praise, and while it can't live up to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc it beats most of the Android phones in terms of snapper.
The sat-nav is also a big plus – it offers a super speedy A-GPS fix – even when we tried to put it off the scent by using it indoors. You also get Google Maps and Google Maps Navigation. We were only able to review a beta version but it still rewarded us with clear, full voice directions for walking and driving – you can also choose to lay a satellite or traffic view over the 3D map.
The verdict
We really like the Samsung Galaxy S II – if we had to describe it in one word it would be 'brilliant'. There are a couple of issues, but nothing that would stop us buying the handset. Samsung has proved that it is moving on in the smartphone arena and it has made massive progress in the shape of the Samsung Galaxy S II.
- Pros:
- That dual-core chip makes the handset really fast.
- Cons:
- Photography fans will notice the lack of a dedicated shutter key.
- Rating:
- Look and Feel 4 Stars
- Ease of use 5 Stars
- Features 5 Stars
- Performance 5 Stars
- Battery life 4 Stars
Final verdict: 5 Stars

It sent Stiggy spinning around our track. It blew Jeremy's mind when he drove it. And it's the car that briefly topped our leaderboard as the fastest. It's the Porsche Carrera GT.
But first, some context. TG's Paul Horrell recently had the opportunity to ride shotgun in a prototype Porsche 918 Spyder: that astonishing new hybrid supercar with electric motors front and rear and performance that promises 0-62mph in less than three seconds and a Nurburgring lap time 10 seconds faster than the Carrera GT.
Ah yes, the Carrera GT. Launched in 2005, it produced 612bhp from its 5.7-litre race-derived V10, mounted in the middle of that lightweight tub, and revved to 8,400rpm. Engage the clutch while exploring the F1-esque wail of that V10, and you'll feel the force of 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed - where permitted, naturally - of 205mph.
Yes, it was very beautiful but there's lots of race-car tech happening around this thing, as you would expect of Porsche. The geometry underneath the GT, for example, mirrored Porsche's race cars. You're talking rear diffusers and airflow channels that work with the carbon underfloor to provide a 'suction' effect.
It also featured a carbon fibre reinforced plastic module frame with a monocoque chassis, and a kerbweight of just 1,380kg, while the suspension was straight out of motorsport: steel pushrods operate the spring and damper elements. Even the ruddy seats were made from magnesium and carbon fibre, and weighed just half those of conventional Porsche seats.
All of which brings us to the point at which you want one. Of course you want one. You've wanted one since you first saw it all those years ago. Here's one we found for the bargain sum of £325k, having covered just 3,875 miles and presented in Seal Grey. It's car number 259 of the 1270 produced, with terracotta leather and matching luggage.
