Ah, Rome. The creators of “the road.” In honor of the great Roman murder of Caesar on this day, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss this great Roman invention…and how I think we should get rid of it. Okay, so that might be a little controversial, but look at it this way, it has been two thousand years since Rome was in power, surely we’ve got the great minds to move us to the next step of our transit evolution by now? What’s wrong with roads? Other than the pollution of cars, the resources and money needed to build and maintain them, and the continuation of the dependence on foreign oil that they support, plenty. The biggest problem is that they (and the suburbs and cul-de-sacs that come with them) are spreading like a cancer across our country. They take up too much space and interfere with ecosystems too much. It has to stop. They begin to cover everything. So how do we fix it? The goal is to get from point A to point B faster. Without the advent of teleportation (Come on, science, it’s 2010 already!) we are stuck with physically moving our bodies. Currently, the popular method of doing this is driving there. Where is there? Across the vast urban sprawl that is etching its way into the surface of America. So how can we get rid of roads? We condense cities. Portland, Oregon is the first city to go to battle for the restriction on building suburbs. The goal is to save the nature areas that draw people to Oregon in the first place from the builders and roads and strip malls and billboards. However, Portland’s plan has not been comprehensive or effective. The side effect has been to cause growth in the city to slow and to raise the prices of property within the city. Vancouver, BC has been battling sprawl and housing costs as well. Although they keep making provisions that momentarily keep housing prices in check, such as changing laws so that builders may now use all available space, including rooftops and alleyways, to build compact housing, and focusing on building one of the best public transit systems in the world. But with an estimated 2 million new people moving to the city in the next ten years, housing will be inadequate and the pressure to spread out will be on again. Are there any cities that are effectively dealing with this problem? Cities must be condensed, roads reduced, and cars eliminated. But how can we afford to live without them and maintain our standard of living?

Former ‘Tonight Show’ host will kick off the ‘Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television’ tour on April 12. By Jocelyn Vena Conan O’Brien Photo: Bryan Bedder/ Getty Images Conan O’Brien is ready to take his act on the road. The former late-night funnyman will go on a 30-city, two-month-long tour along with a few friendly faces. Titled the “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television” tour, a jab at the fact that he can’t appear on television until September in accordance with his exit contract with NBC, he will be joined by Andy Richter and his former late-night band. According to the Hollywood Reporter , O’Brien said of the decision to tour, “It was either a massive 30-city tour or start helping out around the house.” News of the tour first spread after a report popped up on TMZ last week. The tour kicks off April 12 in Eugene, Oregon, and O’Brien will play theaters in at least 20 states and two Canadian provinces. American Express is sponsoring the trek, and organizers say, “It promises to be a night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.” O’Brien also took to Twitter to talk about the tour. “Hey Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It’s half-assed. Alert! Teamcoco.com is jammed with too much traffic. If you can’t get on, go to http://ticketmaster.com to buy your tickets. See you soon. We are now adding a second show in both NYC & Chicago. For that second show, I’ll be doing all Liza Minnelli songs.”

Lower levels of oxygen in the Earth's oceans, particularly off the United States' Pacific Northwest coast, could be another sign of fundamental changes linked to global climate change, scientists say. They warn that the oceans' complex undersea ecosystems and fragile food chains could be disrupted. In some spots off Washington state and Oregon, the almost complete absence of oxygen has left piles of Dungeness crab carcasses littering the ocean floor, killed off 25-year-old sea stars, crippled colonies of sea anemones and produced mats of potentially noxious bacteria that thrive in such conditions. Areas of hypoxia, or low oxygen, have long existed in the deep ocean. These areas — in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans — appear to be spreading, however, covering more square miles, creeping toward the surface and in some places, such as the Pacific Northwest, encroaching on the continental shelf within sight of the coastline. “The depletion of oxygen levels in all three oceans is striking,” said Gregory Johnson, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Seattle. In some spots, such as off the Southern California coast, oxygen levels have dropped roughly 20 percent over the past 25 years. Elsewhere, scientists say, oxygen levels might have declined by one-third over 50 years. “The real surprise is how this has become the new norm,” said Jack Barth, an oceanography professor at Oregon State University. “We are seeing it year after year.” Barth and others say the changes are consistent with current climate-change models. Previous studies have found that the oceans are becoming more acidic as they absorb more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. more at link… http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/03/07/89918/growing-low-oxygen-zones-in-oceans.h… added by: WakeUpPeople

Jake Pavelka toured the hometowns and met the families of his remaining four women on The Bachelor last night. From New York to Oregon, everything went well. Until Ali Fedotowsky dropped the biggest bombshell in Bachelor history, that is. Well, except for last summer on The Bachelorette when the same thing happened. The story editors really need to step it up. As always, THG endured Jake’s trials and tribulations on The Bachelor to recap the action in our exclusive point system: Gia Allemand says Jake’s unlike anyone she’s dated. Yup, he’s that dull. Minus 3 . Erick, Gia’s brother, is like a poor man’s Pauly D from Jersey Shore . Plus 4 . Gia confesses was with a “bad guy” who cheated on her with all her friends. Wow, so Carl Pavano is not only wildly overpaid, he’s a complete jackass. Minus 7 . Jake pretends to deliberate while looking at pictures from ABC.com. Visiting New England in the late fall, Jake tells Ali that it comes to cold, “I’m a big baby.” Replace “cold” with just about anything and that would be true. Plus 5 . Ali decides poor Jake to … her dead grandmother’s empty house. To borrow one of the simplest, but most profound Liz Lemon quotes : “Dealbreaker!” Minus 3 . Ali’s mom says she Googled Jake. THG ranks #1 when one does this. Plus 30 . Jake to Tenley: “I run everything I do by my parents.” Groan . Minus 8 . Jake to Tenley: “You have to be a we.” Swoon . Plus 9 . Tenley choreographs a ballet dance for Jake set to a traditional wedding march. We can’t decide if genuine cuteness trumps extreme awkwardness, so … Even . Jake asks Tenley’s dad for his blessing – while dating three other girls – and gets it! Why? Because he’s “a man of integrity.” On The Bachelor . LOL. Minus 48 . Farewell, Ali Fedotowsky … or will you return? For once, Vienna Girardi was not the focal point of the entire episode. Plus 12 for that, but an obligatory Minus 7 because her dad has some major screws loose. The “bombshell” is Ali Fedotowsky going all Ed Swiderski on Jake Pavelka’s Jillian Harris. She’s gotta go back to work! Minus 100 for the absurd hype this got. But Plus 86 for Ali crying in the hallway; Jake leaning over the banister. Ali pulling out of the rose ceremony, and Jake’s remark: “All I have right now is hope.” While it’s rather lame of Ali to up and leave, she probably made the right choice. Jake is pretty lame, and it’s hard to get a new job in this economy. Plus 24 . In the promo for next week, the phone rings and it’s … Ali! Who would have guessed? Oh wait, us. Since this already happened on The Bachelorette . Minus 8 . TOTAL: -12. SEASON: +1. Roses: Tenley, Gia, Vienna. Gone : Ali … or is she?! Who should Jake Pavelka give his final rose to?
