The San Fernando Valley (locally known as "The Valley") is an urbanized valley located in the Los Angeles metropolitan area of southern California, defined by the mountains of the Transverse Ranges circling it. Home to 1.77 million people, it lies north of the larger and more populous Los Angeles Basin.
Nearly two thirds of the Valley's land area is part of the City of Los Angeles. The other incorporated cities in the Valley are Glendale, Burbank, San Fernando, Hidden Hills, and Calabasas.
The San Fernando Valley is about 260 square miles (670 km2)[1] bounded by the Santa Susana Mountains to the northwest, the Simi Hills to the west, the Santa Monica Mountains and Chalk Hills to the south, the Verdugo Mountains to the east, and the San Gabriel Mountains to the northeast. The northern Sierra Pelona Mountains, northwestern Topatopa Mountains, southern Santa Ana Mountains, and Downtown Los Angeles skyscrapers can be seen from higher neighborhoods, passes, and parks in the San Fernando Valley.
The Los Angeles River begins at the confluence of Calabasas Creek (Arroyo Calabasas) and Bell Creek (Escorpión Creek) at Canoga Park High School beside Vanowen Street in Canoga Park. These creeks headwaters are in the Santa Monica Calabasas foothills, the Simi Hills' Hidden Hills, Santa Susana Field Laboratory, and Santa Susana Pass Park lands. The river flows eastward along the southern regions of the Valley. One of the river's two unpaved sections can be found at the Sepulveda Basin. A seasonal river, the Tujunga Wash, drains much of the western facing San Gabriel Mountains and passes into and then through the Hansen Dam Recreation Center in Lake View Terrace. It flows south along the Verdugo Mountains through the eastern communities of the Valley to join the Los Angeles River in Studio City. Other notable tributaries of the river include Dayton Creek, Caballero Creek, Bull Creek, Pacoima Wash, and Verdugo Wash. The elevation of the floor of the Valley varies from about 600 ft (180 m) to 1,200 ft (370 m) above sea level.
Most of the San Fernando Valley is within the jurisdiction of the city of Los Angeles, although a few other incorporated cities are located within the Valley as well: Burbank and Glendale are in the southeast corner of the Valley, Hidden Hills and Calabasas are in the southwest corner, and San Fernando, which is completely surrounded by Los Angeles, is in the northeast valley. Universal City, an enclave in the southern part of the Valley, is unincorporated land housing the Universal Studios filming lot. Mulholland Drive, which runs along the ridgeline of the Santa Monica Mountains, marks the boundary between the Valley and the communities of Hollywood and the Los Angeles Westside.
Government and political representation[edit]
The San Fernando Valley contains five incorporated cities — Glendale, Burbank, San Fernando, Hidden Hills and Calabasas — and part of a sixth, Los Angeles, which governs a majority of the Valley. The unincorporated communities (Census-designated places) are governed by the County of Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles city section of the Valley is divided into seven city council districts: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12. Of the 95 neighborhood councils in the city, 34 are in the Valley. The Valley is represented in the California State Legislature by seven members of the State Assembly and five members of the State Senate. The Valley is divided into five congressional districts. It is represented in Congress by senior figures from both parties including Representative Brad Sherman (D), Representative Henry Waxman (D), Representative Howard Berman (D), and Representative Howard McKeon (R). In the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, it is represented by two supervisorial districts.
The San Fernando Valley, for the most part, tends to support Democrats in state and national elections. This is especially true in the southern areas which include the cities of Burbank and Sherman Oaks.
- The Los Angeles satellite administrative center for the Valley, The Civic Center Van Nuys, is in Van Nuys. The area in and around the Van Nuys branch of Los Angeles City Hall is home to a police station, municipal and superior courts and Los Angeles city and county administrative offices. Northridge is home to California State University, Northridge (originally named San Fernando Valley State College).
- Many branches of the Los Angeles Public Library are located in the Valley.
- For independent libraries see "Incorporated Cities (independent)" in the "Municipalities and districts" list below.
- Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and independent valley city departments.
- Los Angeles Fire Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Burbank Police Department, and independent valley city departments.

The Tongva, later known as the Gabrieleño Mission Indians after colonization, and the Tataviam to the north and Chumash to the west, had lived and thrived in the Valley and its arroyos for over 8,000 years.[2] They had numerous settlements, and trading and hunting camps, before the Spanish arrived in 1769 to settle in the Valley.[3]
The first Spanish land grant in the San Fernando Valley (or El Valle de Santa Catalina de Bononia de los Encinos[4]) was called "Rancho Encino" (present-day Mission Hills on the Camino Viejo before Newhall Pass), in the northern part of the San Fernando Valley. Juan Francisco Reyes built an adobe dwelling beside a Tongva village or rancheria at natural springs, but the land was soon taken from him so a mission could be built there.[5] Mission San Fernando Rey de España was established in 1797 as the 17th of the 21 missions.[6] The land trade granted Juan Francisco Reyes the similarly named Rancho Los Encinos, also beside springs (Los Encinos State Historic Park in present-day Encino). Later the Mexican land grants of Rancho El Escorpión (West Hills), Rancho Providencia and Rancho Cahuenga (Burbank), and Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando (rest of valley) covered the San Fernando Valley.
The Treaty of Cahuenga, ending the Mexican–American War fighting in Alta California, was signed in 1847 by Californios and Americans at Campo de Cahuenga, the Verdugo Family adobe at the entrance to the Cahuenga Pass in the southeast San Fernando Valley (North Hollywood). The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the entire war.
Statehood and beyond[edit]
The valley's climate is not, as some describe, a desert, and originally was naturally a "temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome" of grassland, oak savanna, and chaparral shrub forest types of plant community habitats, along with lush riparian plants along the river, creeks, and springs. In this Mediterranean climate, post-1790s European agriculture for the mission's support consisted of grapes, figs, olives, and general garden crops.[7] In 1874 dry wheat farming was introduced by J. B. Lankershim and Isaac Van Nuys and became very productive for their San Fernando Homestead Association that owned the southern half of the Valley. In 1876 they sent the very first wheat shipment from both San Pedro Harbor and from the United States to Europe.[8]
20th century[edit]
- Aqueduct
Through the late 19th century court decision Los Angeles v. Pomeroy, Los Angeles had won the rights to all surface flow water atop an aquifer beneath the Valley, without it being within the city limits.[9] San Fernando Valley farmers offered to buy the surplus aqueduct water, but the federal legislation that enabled the construction of the aqueduct prohibited Los Angeles from selling the water outside of the city limits.[10] This induced several independent towns surrounding Los Angeles to vote on and approve annexation to the city so they could connect to the municipal water system. These rural areas became part of Los Angeles in 1915.[11] Concurrently and perhaps pre-aware,[12] the Los Angeles Suburban Homes Company, a syndicate led by Harry Chandler, Hobart Johnstone Whitley, president of the company,[11] James B. Lankershim, and Isaac Van Nuys, extended the Pacific Electric Railway (Red Cars) through the Valley to Owensmouth (now Canoga Park and West Hills) and laid out plans for roads and the towns of Lankershim (now Toluca Lake), Van Nuys, Marian (now Reseda) and Owensmouth. The rural areas were annexed by Los Angeles in 1915.[12] The growing towns voted for annexation – for example: Owensmouth (Canoga Park) in 1915,[13] Laurel Canyon and Lankershim in 1923,[14]:45 Sunland in 1926,[14]:29 La Tuna Canyon in 1926, and the incorporated city of Tujunga in an eight-year process lasting from 1927 to 1935.[15] These annexations more than doubled the area of the city.
The aqueduct water shifted farming from wheat to irrigated crops such as corn, beans, squash, and cotton; orchards of apricots, persimmons, and walnuts; and major citrus groves of oranges and lemons.[12] They continued until the next increment of development converted land use, with post-war suburbanization leaving only a few enclaves, such as the "open air museum" groves at the Orcutt Ranch Park and CSUN campus.
- Developments
The advent of three new industries in the early 20th century – motion pictures, automobiles, and aircraft – also spurred urbanization and population growth. World War II production and the subsequent postwar boom accelerated this growth so that by 1960, the valley had a population of well over one million. Los Angeles continued to consolidate its territories in the San Fernando Valley by annexing the former Rancho El Escorpión for Canoga Park-West Hills in 1959, and the huge historic "Porter Ranch" at the foot of the Santa Susana Mountains for the new planned developments in Porter Ranch in 1965. The additions expanded the Los Angeles portion of San Fernando Valley from the original 169 square miles (438 km2) to 224 square miles (580 km2) today.
Six Valley cities incorporated independently from Los Angeles: Glendale in 1906, Burbank and San Fernando in 1911, Hidden Hills in 1961, and Calabasas in 1991. Universal City is an unincorporated enclave that is home to Universal Studios theme park and Universal CityWalk. Other unincorporated areas in the Valley are Bell Canyon.
- Northridge earthquake
The 1994 Northridge earthquake struck on January 17 and measured 6.7 on the Richter Scale. It produced the largest ground motions ever recorded in an urban environment and caused the greatest damage in the United States since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[16] Although given the name "Northridge", the epicenter was located in the community of Reseda, between Arminta and Ingomar streets, just east of Reseda Boulevard. The death toll was 57,[17] and more than 1,500 people were seriously injured. A few days after the earthquake, 9,000 homes and businesses were still without electricity; 20,000 were without gas; and more than 48,500 had little or no water. About 12,500 structures were moderately to severely damaged, which left thousands of people temporarily homeless. Of the 66,546 buildings inspected, 6% were severely damaged (red tagged) and 17% were moderately damaged (yellow tagged). In addition, damage to several major freeways serving Los Angeles choked the traffic system in the days following the earthquake. Major freeway damage occurred as far away as 25 miles (40 km) from the epicenter. Collapses and other severe damage forced closure of portions of 11 major roads to downtown Los Angeles.[18]
This was the second time in 23 years that the San Fernando Valley had been affected by a strong earthquake. On February 9, 1971, a magnitude 6.5 event struck about 20 miles (32 km) northeast of the epicenter of the 1994 event. The 1971 earthquake caused 58 fatalities and about 2,000 injuries. At the time, the 1971 earthquake was the most destructive event to affect greater Los Angeles since the magnitude 6.3 Long Beach earthquake of 1933.[19]
Parks and recreation[edit]
The San Fernando Valley is home to numerous neighborhood "pocket parks", city parks, recreation areas, and large Regional Open Space preserves. Many preserves are maintained as public parkland by the National Park Service's Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, the California State Parks, and local county and municipal parks districts.

+ Common usage of the term San Fernando Valley include these communities that are in the Crescenta Valley.
The Valley is home to numerous companies, the most well-known of which work in motion pictures, music recording, and television production. The former movie ranches were branches of original studios now consisting of CBS Studio Center, NBCUniversal, The Walt Disney Company (and its ABC television network), and Warner Bros.
The Valley was previously known for advances in aerospace technology and nuclear research by companies such as Lockheed, Rocketdyne and its Santa Susana Field Laboratory, Atomics International, Litton Industries, Marquardt, and TRW's predecessor Thompson Ramo Wooldridge.
Adult entertainment[edit]
The Valley became the pioneering region for producing adult films in the 1970s and since then has been home to a multi-billion dollar pornography industry, earning the monikers "Porn Valley"[20] and "San Pornando Valley".[21] The leading trade paper for the industry, AVN magazine, is based in the Northwest Valley, as are a majority of the nation's adult video and magazine distributors. According to the HBO series Pornucopia, nearly 90% of all legally distributed pornographic films made in the United States are either filmed in or produced by studios based in the San Fernando Valley.[22]
Utilities and infrastructure[edit]
The Valley is served by the following utility companies.
- Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
- Burbank Water and Power
- Southern California Edison (serves the city of San Fernando)
- Glendale Water and Power
Natural gas
- Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
- Burbank Water and Power
- City of San Fernando
- Metropolitan Water District
- Glendale Water and Power
Phone service
Cable television
- City of Los Angeles
- City of San Fernando (Crown Disposal Company, Inc.)
- City of Burbank
- City of Glendale
The automobile still remains the dominant form of transportation in the Valley, though gridlock of freeway and surface street transport networks grows. Major freeways cross the Valley, including Interstate 405 – San Diego Freeway; U.S. Route 101 – Ventura Freeway / Hollywood Freeway; State Route 118 – Reagan Freeway; State Route 170 – Hollywood Freeway; Interstate 210 – Foothill Freeway; and Interstate 5 – Golden State Freeway. Most of the major thoroughfares run on a cartographic grid: notable streets include Sepulveda Boulevard, Ventura Boulevard, Laurel Canyon Boulevard, San Fernando Road, Victory Boulevard, Reseda Boulevard, Riverside Drive, Mulholland Drive, and State Route 27 – Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
Rapid transit[edit]
Subway, dedicated transitway, and express and local buses, provided by many agencies, serve the San Fernando Valley. Some of the former rights-of-way of the Pacific Electric Railway, which first accelerated population growth in the Valley,[23] have been repurposed for busways and light rail lines.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority operates two Metro Red Line subway stations in the Valley, which are located at Universal City and North Hollywood, which connect it directly to Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles. With transfers, they connect the Valley to the entire Metro regional light rail and subway network. Connections are available to Mid-Wilshire, San Gabriel Valley, LAX adjacent, and Long Beach termini. The Red Line's two Valley subway stations provide access to national travel through Bob Hope Airport and Amtrak and regional travel through Metrolink, Metro Rapid, Metro Local, and the Metro Orange Line.
The Orange Line busway uses a dedicated transitway route running the east-west length of the Valley connecting the North Hollywood Red Line Station to the Warner Center Transit Hub in Woodland Hills and then heads north through Canoga Park to the Chatsworth Metrolink train station.[24]
Rail and air[edit]
Metrolink commuter rail has two Valley lines, the Antelope Valley Line and Ventura County Line, which connect the Valley and beyond to downtown Los Angeles and south, becoming one line at the Burbank station.
Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner long-distance rail line has stops at Burbank Airport station, Van Nuys, and Chatsworth Station, before proceeding on to Ventura County, Santa Barbara, and Northern California or Union Station and San Diego.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority is planning two stations in the Valley, one in downtown Burbank and the other in Sylmar, with an initial section of the railroad possibly opening in 2020.
The Valley's two major airports are Bob Hope Airport and the Van Nuys Airport. The Van Nuys – Airport FlyAway Terminal provides non-stop scheduled shuttle service to LAX and back to the Valley, with parking.
Valley independence and secession[edit]
Independence movements[edit]
The Valley attempted to secede in the 1970s, but the state passed a law barring city formation without the approval of the City Council. In 1997, Assemblymen Bob Hertzberg and Tom McClintock helped pass a bill that would make it easier for the Valley to secede by removing the City Council veto. AB 62 was signed into law by Governor Pete Wilson. Meanwhile, a grassroots movement to split the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and create new San Fernando Valley-based school districts became the focal point of the desire to leave the city. Though the state rejected the idea of Valley-based districts, it remained an important rallying point for Hertzberg's mayoral campaign, which proved unsuccessful.
- Measure F
In 2002, the San Fernando Valley portion of Los Angeles again seriously campaigned to secede from the rest of the city and become its own new independent and incorporated city. The movement gained some momentum, as many San Fernando Valley residents within city limits felt they were not receiving Los Angeles city services on par with the rest of the city and their tax contributions.
Before secession could come out for a vote, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) studied the fiscal viability of the new city and decided that the new city must mitigate any fiscal loss incurred by the rest of Los Angeles. LAFCO concluded that a new San Fernando Valley city would be financially viable, but would need to mitigate the $60.8 million that the remaining portion of Los Angeles would lose in revenues. Secessionists took this figure as evidence that the Valley gave more money to Los Angeles than it received back in services. This triggered a petition drive led by Valley VOTE[25] to put secession on the ballot. Measures F (the proposed new SFV city) and H (the proposed new Hollywood City, which was on the same ballot) not only decided whether the valley became a city, but voters also got to pick a new name for it. The proposed names on the ballot were San Fernando Valley, Rancho San Fernando, Mission Valley, Valley City, and Camelot. (There was already a separate City of San Fernando in the San Fernando Valley, so that option was not available.) Along with Measures F and H, elections were held for fourteen council members and a mayor.
Valley politicians such as State Senator Richard Alarcón and City Council President Alex Padilla opposed the initiatives. The leader of the LAUSD breakup and former congresswoman and busing opponent Bobbi Fiedler also campaigned against secession. Supporters pointed out that the Valley suffered from many of the same problems of poverty, crime, drug and gang activity as the rest of the city.
Measure F did not receive the necessary votes to pass for the Valley to secede. The proposal passed with a slight majority in the Valley, but was defeated by the rest of Los Angeles due to a heavily-funded campaign against it led by then-Los Angeles mayor James Hahn. Republican Assemblyman Keith Richman of Northridge was voted in as mayor of the stillborn city, which according to vote returns would have been named San Fernando Valley. Richman and other activists behind the secession movement attempted to redirect their civic energies toward influencing Los Angeles city politics, but their efforts largely fizzled. Hertzberg's 2005 mayoral campaign, which received heavy support in the Valley, nonetheless finished in third place (only a few percentage points behind incumbent Mayor Hahn), and no secession supporters were elected to positions on the Los Angeles City Council.
Had the measure passed, the southern portion of the city would have remained as the city of Los Angeles, with about 2.1 million people. The northern Valley portion would have created a new municipality of 211 square miles (546 km2) with about 1.3 million residents. If secession had passed, the new City of San Fernando Valley would have been the seventh most populous city in the United States, after New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, and Phoenix.
District renamings[edit]
The NoHo Arts District was established and the name chosen as a reference for its location in North Hollywood and as a play off New York City's arts-centered SoHo District. According to the San Fernando Guide, the change helped develop a "primarily lower to middle-class suburb into . . . a collection of art and a home for the artists who ply their trade in the galleries, theaters and dance studios in this small annex."[26]
According to the Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council, from 2002 through November 2007 there was a debate about the official recognition of Lake Balboa as a community by the City of Los Angeles. New community names were not sanctioned by the city until January 2006, when the city adopted a formal community-naming process (City of Los Angeles Council File Number 02 -0196). On November 2, 2007, the City Council of Los Angeles approved a motion renaming a larger portion of Van Nuys to Lake Balboa.[27]
According to the 2010 United States Census, the population of the San Fernando Valley was 1.77 million. Of the population 68.1% were non-Hispanic white, 15.0% were Hispanic or Latino, 4.0% were African Americans and 10.7% were Asian. The largest city located entirely in the valley is Glendale. The most populous districts of Los Angeles in the Valley are North Hollywood and Van Nuys. Burbank and the two districts named each have more than 100,000 residents. Glendale has more than 190,000 residents. Despite the San Fernando Valley's reputation for sprawling, low-density development, the valley communities of Panorama City, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Reseda, Canoga Park, and Northridge, all in Los Angeles, have numerous apartment complexes and contain some of the densest census tracts in Los Angeles.
Non-Hispanic whites outnumber Latinos by 53%. In general, communities in the northeastern and central parts of the Valley have the highest concentration of Latinos. Non-Hispanic whites live mainly in the communities along the region's mountain rim and in the northwestern, western, southwestern, southern, and southeastern sections of the valley, including the Shadow Hills neighborhood.
Asian Americans make up 10% of the population and live throughout the valley, but are most numerous in the Los Angeles communities of Chatsworth, Panorama City, North Hollywood, Reseda, Canoga Park, Northridge, Porter Ranch and Granada Hills. Unlike the San Gabriel Valley, whose Asian American population is predominantly Chinese, the San Fernando Valley's Asian American population is mostly Filipino and Korean with smaller concentrations of Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian. Another large ethnic element of the populace is the Iranian community, with 200,000 people living mainly in west San Fernando Valley communities such as Tarzana, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Encino, and Sherman Oaks. The valley is also home to a large Jewish community, with a large part of its population in the North Hollywood and Valley Village areas. African Americans compose 3.8% of the Valley's population, living mainly in the Los Angeles sections of Lake View Terrace, Pacoima, Reseda, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, and Northridge.
Poverty rates in the San Fernando Valley are lower than the rest of the county (15.3% compared to 17.9%). Nevertheless, in eight San Fernando Valley communities, at least one in five residents lives in poverty.
The Pacoima district of Los Angeles is widely known in the region as a hub of suburban blight. Other San Fernando Valley communities, such as the Los Angeles sections of Mission Hills, Arleta, and Northridge,[28] have poverty rates well below the regional average.
Many wealthy families live in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard.
Property values[edit]
In August 2005, the median price of an average one-family home in the San Fernando Valley reached $600,000. In 1997, it was only $155,000. In the summer of 2003, it reached $400,000 and by July 2005, it had reached $578,500. From July to August (one month) 2005, it rose by $100,000. A cooling off was noted in 2006, when between November 2005 and November 2006, median prices rose by the smallest amount of any 12-month period since mid-1997. Indeed, November prices were lower than October prices, and sales for November had fallen 19.1% compared to a year earlier.[29] The United States housing market correction affected the San Fernando Valley in 2007–2009, making housing significantly more affordable in the area: the median sales price fell from $660,000 at the peak in May 2007, to $500,000 by March 2008,[30] stabilizing in 2009 at around $330,000 – $340,000.[31]

Here, thought I would share this idea for the start of the RP at you and if you had any ideas you wished to throw in.
The line of vampires and werewolves began with the two Corvinus brothers. One bitten by bat the other bitten by wolf separating them down two different paths that would fight for centuries over who was dominate and more powerful. They were the first vampire and werewolf.
What began the war is uncertain but it wasn't until the modern century did any form of diplomacy spring from either group, with little give on both fronts. Both sides view each other as monsters. The vampires see werewolves as beasts, unfit for society, a menace needing to be eradicated while the werewolves find the vampires cruel and tyrannical unworthy to hold their place in the world. Both sides have their leaders, running under different orders. The vampires are run by a council of the first believed other vampires that were changed by the Corvinus brother who was the first vampire while the werewolves follow the orders of their pack alphas with one main alpha that is in connection with all other alphas, since the first werewolf, the Corvinus brother bitten by wolf, was lost through the centuries, viewed as a threat not only as a threat to vampires but his own kind as time made him more wolf then man.
So basic summary the vampires and werewolves hate each other, tension on both sides but they have made treaties and agreements to not bother one another and stay out of each others business. Most major cities have a werewolf pack and a vampire family of some sort, who all answer to some separate form of higher rule. Of course this doesn't stop some fights from happening with both sides hating each other and this is where eventually both our characters come into play. I'll be the werewolf, male, and you can be the vampire. In any case, one side or the other captures the either me or you and we have some sort of position within our pack or family that makes us valuable creating a small war within the city between the werewolves and vampires. The two main characters start out by hating each other but soon see that really the are both the same in some sense and have feelings for each other.

The exoplanet business is booming, with astronomers rolling out newfound planets outside the solar system seemingly every week. There are now more than 400 candidates, or proposed planets, in the extrasolar planet catalogue, and NASA's Kepler spacecraft, which launched in March, began piling on Monday when the mission's first results were announced. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society, mission scientists unveiled five hot, massive planets discovered by Kepler, a space telescope that should in the coming years be able to turn up potentially habitable, Earth-like worlds.
But very few exoplanets have actually been directly seen—a planet's presence and properties are usually inferred by its subtle effects on the host star. So it is perhaps not surprising that some discoveries have not entirely proved out, with some exoplanet candidates turning out to be larger objects such as stars or brown dwarfs (celestial bodies larger than planets but too small to fuse hydrogen as stars do) and some seeming to disappear entirely on closer examination.
As the exoplanet population continues to swell, so does the list of disputed or rejected contenders. Alongside the 400-plus viable exoplanet candidates now listed in the online Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia sit more than 60 classified as "unconfirmed, controversial or retracted". A number of recent additions to that list of the disputed or retracted underline the uncertainties in exoplanet discoveries as well as the importance of painstaking follow-up research to determine a candidate planet's true properties.
In one of the most recent cases, a planetary prospect straddling the planet–brown dwarf border was found to be solidly in the latter's more massive camp. (Any object of 13 or more Jupiter masses is considered to be a brown dwarf and not a planet, according to the International Astronomical Union.) HD 136118 b, discovered in 2002 by Debra Fischer, then at the University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues, was initially identified as having a minimum mass of 12 Jupiters. The exoplanet naming convention appends lowercase letters to the host star's name; HD 136118 b orbits a star called HD 136118.
But a paper in the January 1 issue of Astrophysical Journal finds that the true mass is much higher than that: some 42 times that of Jupiter. When HD 136118 b was first discovered, Fischer's team took care to note that it was likely a brown dwarf companion to the star HD 136118, and Fischer, now at Yale University, says she is not surprised by the new result. (And indeed, although brown dwarfs bear little similarity to the cool, habitable Earth-like worlds astronomers soon hope to find, they are interesting in their own right.)
A more dramatic re-identification came in 2007, when the candidate planet HD 33636 b, initially tagged with a minimum mass of 7.7 Jupiter masses, was found to be much larger. A team led by Jacob Bean, then a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin (U.T.), found that HD 33636 b was not only too large to be a planet but too large to be a brown dwarf, as well. (Bean also co-authored the more recent paper on HD 136118 b.) In fact, it appeared to be a star, some 142 times the mass of Jupiter, in a binary pairing with a larger stellar sibling.
Both of these cases bring to light a soft spot in exoplanet research: The most prolific tactic for finding exoplanets, the radial velocity approach, can only reveal a lower bound to their masses. Radial velocity searches look for Doppler shifts in a star's light induced by the gravitational tug of an orbiting companion. But those shifts only reveal the star's motion along our line of sight, and without knowing what angle the orbit of the planet takes with respect to Earth's line of sight, its true mass cannot be pinned down. The cases above illustrate what happens when the planet turns out to be highly inclined, with orbital planes nearly perpendicular to our line of sight.
"The issue boils down to simple geometry," Fischer says. "We only measure the velocity along the line of sight." Knowing that velocity, two unknowns remain—the planet's mass and its inclination—and neither can be solved for conclusively. "We've never been able to measure inclination with radial velocities…and we never will," Fischer says.
To find the masses of HD 136118 b and HD 33636 b, research teams meshed ground-based radial velocity observations with astrometry, or the precise measurement of the position of stars in the sky, taken from the Hubble Space Telescope. Whereas radial velocity data show if a star is moving nearer and farther, astrometry reveals if a star is moving laterally. "The astrometric measurements detect motion in the plane of the sky, and therefore provide the full 3-D orbit," Fischer says.
Fritz Benedict, a U.T. astronomer who worked with Bean and others on the papers presenting large masses for both HD 136118 b and HD 33636 b, says that astrometry is not used as a cross-check more often for several reasons: One is that few instruments boast the required precision; another is that faraway exoplanets induce planar motions too small to be detected. "As systems get farther from us, the apparent size of the perturbation shrinks," Benedict says. "Bottom line—we run out of nearby stars on which to use this technique."
Contradictory data from astrometry and radial velocity observations were the source of a planetary impasse last month—one group found a planet to be present, whereas another team did not. In May Steven Pravdo and Stuart Shaklan of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., announced that they had detected a candidate exoplanet, known as VB 10 b, by ground-based astrometry. (Ground-based observations, which are subject to atmospheric effects, are generally thought to be less trustworthy than space-based observations such as those from Hubble.) But in December Bean, now at the University of Göttingen in Germany, and his colleagues presented radial velocity data, also taken from the ground, that did not reveal the orbiting companion. "With the precision we were getting, it actually would have been very easy to detect this planet," Bean says. "So it was very easy to rule it out."
The new data led Bean and his colleagues to conclude that Pravdo and Shaklan's claim for VB 10 b was "spurious." But Shaklan disagrees, noting that Bean's "work does not entirely rule out the existence of the planet." Without more data, he says, neither of the conflicting results can be confirmed. And Bean notes that a planet with somewhat different parameters than those derived by Pravdo and Shaklan could still exist, even in light of the new research.
All three revisions within the ranks of proposed planets involved cross-checking a possible detection with a different observation method, something the Kepler team used close to 100 nights of ground-based telescope time to do before announcing the spacecraft's first results. But follow-up studies consume time and resources, and in some cases more powerful instruments than are currently available would be necessary to solidly pin down the details of a planetary detection. The European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft, scheduled for launch in 2012, could fill in some of these details with precision astrometry measurements.
"The application of complementary techniques is really important," Bean says, noting that his willingness to examine new discoveries from different angles is what leads him into the uneasy position of revising or even refuting other scientists' work. "I guess that has sort of evolved into my specialty—using different methods combined," Bean says. "So that's probably how I get into this mess."

Qwerty keyboards
This topic was created by Caleb Cox .
Qwerty keyboards
Where are all the phones with Qwerty keyboards? Are manufacturer's phasing them out for a particular reason? I know lots of people who still prefer physical keyboards, but the same people steer well clear of BlackBerry.
Is interest in them dying, or are manufacturers veering towards touchscreen-only devices because of production costs? If it is the former, could that be part of the reason for RIM's recent struggles?
Re: Qwerty keyboards
Its seems they are plenty in the US but non seem to make it over there, Epic 4G, Droid 4, etc etc, So they are being made, but not for the UK, now why is this?
I have to use a phsyical Keyboard, I can not use a touch screen to type, I have a Xperia Pro at the moment as that seem to be the only phone in the UK with a QWERTY keyboard.
I have no idea what I'll replace it with in the years to come......
Re: Qwerty keyboards
In the phone space and given a large enough screen, an on-screen is just as good for bashing out texts and short mails as a miniature keyboard. It also has the advantage of not either chewing space on the phone itself or adding bulk as a slideout.
This makes sense, although those reckoning that actual keyboards (i.e. desk or laptop) are on the way out are just spouting mindless bollocks for the sake of it. When it comes to tying larger documents there's no contest. I must get an order of magnitude faster in typing rate on a real keyboard over the best I can achieve on a touchscreen.
I've been holding out for a Nokia WP7 with a QWERTY keyboard
There have been a few rumours that one it in the works, but my Xperia X1 is getting very poorly. The display dies if I slide its keyboard out, and the mic doesn't work so it's Bluetooth-only for calling. Not only that but the registration on the touchscreen drifts about from day-to-day.
I'm already unhappy with not being able to replace it with a resistive-screen model, c'mon Nokia, pull your finger out! I don't trust LG, or Dell to make a decent phone, nor HTC after this X1 got AIDS, and no-one else makes a Windows Phone with a keyboard!
Touch screens stealing the market of qwerty keypads.... Slowly but surely qwerty keyboards are going out.....
Works OK on a full fat tablet, although it is like using one of those old "slablet" things that used to have a real keyboard and a few lines of LED or LCD display above. You end up with your tablet screen being mostly keyboard with a bit of screen visible above. If you're really lucky and the software writer doesn't have his thumb up his arse, it may even be the bit you're trying to type in.
On a phone screen it's rather less successful. Typing is out, "point and peck" too often results in hitting the wrong character and you really need something like Swype to make it usable.
As things stand right now, if you want to type more than a few lines (phone) or a couple of paragraphs (tablet) or, god-forbid, you need to be able to see the full format of what you're typing, a full-fat computer with a keyboard is an infinitely better option.
Having said all that, I find that the on screen keyboard with Swype on my Xperia Arc S is eminently usable for texts and short mails of a few lines.
There aren't many phones with actual keyboards anymore.. not when it comes to Android phones anyways. I had to give mine up with my last update. Still getting use to a touch keyboard
BB Torch
I've got one of these, and I've generally been pretty pleased with it, typing wise.
I can type pretty quickly on the physical keyboard, and being a slider phone the screen itself is still a high proportion of the phone's surface area. However, I've also got a BB Playbook (so no physical keyboard), and I find typing on that to be fairly good too, especially with the word hinting.
Thus I find myself in a quandary about whether to go for a physical keyboard on my next phone. If I were buying a keyboard-less device the on screen one would have to be at least as good as the Playbook. If I were buying something with a physical keyboard it would have to be slider phone - I don't want to lose that much screen space. No one is doing slider phones these days, not even RIM :-(
So I guess if the on screen keyboard were as good as or better (add Swype?) than the Playbook's then I'd go with no physical keyboard. Which opens a lot of choice - Android, MS, Apple and BB10! Unless someone reproduces the keyboard arrangement that the Psion 5 had - best ever, never repeated (Psion owns the patent on it...).
i like qwerty keyboards very much and i also have qwerty keyboards
waste of time
I think any type of keyboards on a phone are a waste of time in this day and age. Using a smartphones touch screen is so much more responsive and easier. Save money nokia and keep with touch screen.
Live and breath gadgets......
I agree with this"I think any type of keyboards on a phone are a waste of time in this day and age. Using a smartphones touch screen is so much more responsive and easier. Save money nokia and keep with touch screen."
Unfortunately, there are some of us out there, who due to side effects of their job*, require a physical keyboard as the tactile feedback of an actual button allows them to type with a decent speed. I can barely feel it when I fondle the screen, and thus make a lot of spelling mistakes, but a physical keyboard with that deeper tactile response means I can type faster, and more accurately.

Qwerty keyboards
Dear Q,
Alternative keyboards have been around for a long time, and while the traditional QWERTY keyboard won the fight, that doesn't mean the other layouts aren't worth considering. Advocates for alternative keyboard layouts claim they're more pcb prototype (pcb.hqew.net) ergonomic, easier to learn, and allow you to type faster. Let's take a look at a few of the more popular alternatives, as well as the pros and cons for using them.

That was one of the first things I noticed. The port engine looks like it was shut down before the jet crashed. Also it seems to have been reported as both a D model and an F model, but you can tell by the fuel vent and antenna arrangement on the vertical stab that that is an F model. Supers have 4 bulges and Legacy jets only have 3.
edited for clearification of antenna location.

No Pants SkyTrain Ride returns for fourth year
As if public transit wasn't enough of a breeding ground for diseases. Vancouver's fourth annual No Pants SkyTrain Ride is set for Sunday (January 13).
How does one participate? The organizers at Vancouver Improv Anywhere explain:
Do not talk to others once you enter the Skytrain. No one knows each other. Sit in the car as you normally would. Read a magazine or whatever you would normally do. As soon as the doors shut, stand up and take your pants off and put them in your backpack. If anyone asks you why you've removed your pants, tell them that they were "getting uncomfortable" (or something along those lines).
The pants come down at 1 p.m. at Commercial–Broadway Station.

oh lord, didn't the awkward silence that fell over the skytrain cars the previous times this was done send a clear message?

Now that SF has banned public nudity this is about the only bit of fun we can still have that's not been made illegal. I hope that there are limits to people saying "I don't want to see your x." I think about the sort of ugliness I am exposed to everyday and someone's x is far less offensive than lots and lots lots of the things widely accepted and never protested against....

Update to the 1984 Coors Corridor Plan
Planning Department Contact: Carol Toffaleti, Senior Planner – 505-924-3345
Department of Municipal Development Contact: Richard Costales - 505-768-2774
* webpage last updated 11/27/13 *
The Coors Corridor Plan is a Rank 3 sector development plan that provides policies and project recommendations for the Coors Blvd./Bypass right-of-way and design regulations for adjacent development. The Plan area is a 10-mile corridor that extends from Central Ave. to Alameda Blvd. The current project team, made up of Planning and DMD Staff and transportation consultants, has been drafting an update to the 1984 plan to address current conditions and future travel needs in this key arterial on the City's West Side. The main goals guiding the update are: preserving the transportation function of Coors Blvd./Bypass; supporting transit as a viable alternative for many trips within the corridor; protecting the area's natural setting and scenic views; and making the policies and regulations clear and enforceable. The draft plan does not change or establish land uses. Also note that Coors Blvd. and Coors Bypass are state highways controlled by NMDOT. The anticipated timeline for submittal to the Environmental Planning Commission is early 2014, which is the first step in the official review and approval process for a ranked City plan.
Working Draft
The Public was invited to attend Open Houses in October to learn about proposals in the working draft of the new Plan, ask questions and provide feedback.
The hand-out and content of the display boards from the Open Houses are provided below. The boards present excerpts from the working draft that highlight significant and new regulations in the Plan. Several maps and diagrams are separated out to make them easier to read on-line and/ or to print-out.
- Hand-Out/General Information
- Display Boards
- Small Maps & Diagrams
The project team will consider the public input received in October and November to refine the draft for submittal to the Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) in early 2014. Interested parties will also have many further opportunities to discuss the new Coors Corridor Plan with City Staff and comment on the Plan during the EPC and subsequent Council public review process before a final version is adopted.
The process to update the Plan has been underway since 2005, led initially by the Planning Department. The Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) reviewed an earlier draft plan and recommended that a view analysis be conducted along the east side of Coors, which was completed in 2008. The Planning Department worked with a citizen advisory committee to revise design regulations, in particular view preservation regulations for building height and mass. This Design Overlay Zone portion of the Plan was put on hold in 2009 for DMD to undertake a transportation study of the corridor, which addresses future travel needs in light of worsening traffic congestion in the area. The study was conducted in consultation with NMDOT, MRCOG, Bernalillo County and other agencies, and with community input. Staff has since been integrating the results of these planning efforts into one document that includes a transportation section, project recommendations and a Design Overlay Zone.
Existing Plan:
- Coors Corridor Plan - 1984 (Plans are listed alphabetically)
Email Distribution List
Contact the Planning Department if you would like to be added to the project email distribution list.

Johnson, Nathanael. All Natural: a skeptic's quest to discover if the natural approach to diet, childbirth, healing, and the environment really keeps us healthier and happier
Johnson, a self-described skeptic, was raised by back-to-nature, hemp-and-granola hippie types. He grew up not wearing diapers, eating according to whatever nutritional trend his mother was onto that week, and subjected to an array of natural cures. But it is the nature of children to rebel, and Johnson's rebelling took the form of an acceptance of modern technology, food culture, and medicine. However, he couldn't really shake his roots and set out to do the research, do the leg-work, investigate the growing resistance to a technological way of life, and figure out just what is better for humans in the long run: Science, or nature? He doesn't find many definitive answers in this always fascinating look into contemporary American culture. While modern medical care definitely means that the average pregnant woman is better off than her ancestors would have been, a growing reliance on Caesarian sections is leading to a new increase in maternal mortalities. Johnson finds similar seeming contradictions in all of the areas he investigates, laying out both his surface level findings and then digging beneath to expose possible reasons for the situation as it exists today.
Johnson owes an obvious debt, both in style and in content, to Michael Pollan, and indeed cites Pollan as not only an influence but a supporter of his work. Fans of Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma will find much of interest here.

For small business website solutions, we recommend website solutions from AJIBOYE.
feel is out of reach for you..
We turn a $500 account into an awesome money generator making many many small profitable trades and bootstrap it on to an awesome LinkWheel which will ensure a monthly income that goes on indefinitely. As far as we know, this is the only one of its kind in the world.
Profits from a very small $500 forex account as shown above is generated to bootstrap on to a LinkWheel account shown below to generate an income every month that goes on indefinitely.
This income goes on forever month after month after month, irrespective of the performance of the forex account.
Set it up ONE time, get paid forever.
With a little bit of patience, a $500 account can generate enough small profits to bootstrap into a linkwheel which would generate a $3000 a month income.
I think one can retire comfortably on $3000 a month.
If you do not make money from this I will
pay you 5 times whatever your loss !!
Just a clarification for some who may have misunderstood. After we have set this up for you it becomes YOUR business and we do not control nor run your business for you. In the set up stage we will manage and control the growth to a cutoff point and will train you on what you would need to do. The cutoff point is when the LinkWheel generates a monthly income of $3000.
When that happens, we no longer manage nor do anything and you have to look after the business yourself. At that point too, whatever the performance of the forex account will not impact nor decrease the $3000 monthly income of the LinkWheel.
Looking for the correct partner to share this great opportunity

Fund this: MirrorCase for iPad gives you a rear-facing camera
You can take notes on meetings or lectures on an iPad, or you can record videos of meetings or lectures -- but you can't have it both ways.
Kickstarter project MirrorCase aims to solve that dilemma. It's an iPad case that uses mirrors to point the camera lens forward, while at the same time raising the tablet to a comfortable typing angle.
For students and business users alike, that's potentially a big deal. It means you can sit in a conference room or lecture hall, typing or sketching on your iPad while at the same time recording … Read more
