Damian Wyatt would always remember this day. The day when the San Jose Earthquakes chose him, a rookie, over all star Robbie Keane. As a first round pick, he had an immense amount of pressure on his shoulders. As he walked into the press room after getting drafted, the alternating blue and green tiles popped out at him. The blue tiles had the SJ logo inscribed on it while the green tiles had the MLS logo on it. All of those tiled were on the wall behind him though. As he turned around, his heart

San Jose museum of art In my life, I have never been to any museum, and I never thought museums were that cool and incredible view. Today first time I went to San Jose museum art because my art teacher recommended to all class students to go there for extra credit. Also I never expect the positive experience, which I got from this visit, for example; I got parking in short time, no line to buy tickets, and no crowd at the museum which helps me to spend more time on each photo to understand it better

On August 5, 2010, the world turned their eyes on the San José copper and gold mine in Chile’s Atacama Desert when more than 700,000 metric tons of rock suddenly caved in trapping 33 miners underground. Mining accidents have made the headlines before, but this one was unparalleled by the distance at which the miners were entombed and the unstable rock formation due to the mine’s age. Experts estimated the probability of locating and rescuing the missing workers alive at less than 1%. However, on
A complexity of the information you hear or conceive on T.V about fraternities is completely false. Being part of a fraternity, I conducted an observation on San Jose State University Fraternities. There is a plethora of fraternities on campus, but my research will be focusing on social fraternities like Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Sigma Phi, and etc. Throughout my essay, I'll be talking about culture at a fraternity, Greek life during school, and their benefaction to their community. I’ll start by explaining
Every college student must be thinking and worried about his or her academic success and educational degree. San Jose Mercury News Editorial, authors of “Remedial costs are too high for CSU to bear” highlight that San Jose State University policy which took place in 2009 is about freshmen students who are required to take remedial classes since their math and/or English basic college-level are not good enough.

To illustrate this: only 20.5% of the inhabitants of San Jose Succotz identifies with the Maya culture (Medina 360).

Valley: the heart of computers and technologies in the world." I live in San Jose, the capital of Silicon Valley (The City of San Jose, 1999, p. 1). San Jose is surrounded by a great number of hardware and software computer companies. There are a lot of job opportunities offered in this region. San Jose, thus, is called, the land of the Silicon Rush, which has replaced California's Gold Rush, which occurred fifty-two years ago (San Jose Convention & Visitors Bureau, 2000, p. 4).
Throughout the years the technology industry has been growing with incredible speed expanding all over California. San Jose is known as the capital of Silicon Valley where major technology companies and start-ups call home. With fast spreading companies it is necessary to have enough power in San Jose to supply the increase in energy demand. Recently there was a plan proposed to the City of San Jose by Calpine Corporation to build a power plant in Coyote Valley. Nearby residents and several other organizations
Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Edmonton Oilers, and Calgary Flames. The Blackhawks have already secured their spot as the conference's no. 1 seed. I'm never one to compliment the Blackhawks, though, so we'll just offer a quick "congrats" to them and move on.
leaders of San Jose seem most intent on protecting. Our city has experienced profound growing pains as we've made the transition from agricultural area, to bedroom community and finally to the bustling metropolis known as Silicon Valley. How cherry orchards birthed Pentium chips is a story for another day . . . but in the process they have brought disparate social classes together in a way that leaves everyone struggling for some sort of cultural base. In the 90's we've seen downtown San Jose develop

She makes ends meet by growing beans and selling them to the local townspeople, who are very sympathetic to Filipa. When a rich sheep herder named Don Jose starts harassing Filipa because she refuses to marry him She wishes for him to fall off a cliff and break his neck, when her wish comes true she feels very guilty and makes penance by giving away all of Don Jose’s sheep to those poor enough
Before the arrival of the Spaniards in the Santa Clara Valley, it was the home to the Ohlone natives. Their territory spanned from San Jose all the way to the Guadalupe River, originating from Santa Clara. The process of converting the land into Spanish settlements began in 1777. This began with the expeditions of Sergeant Jose Ortega. When his soldiers arrived on the land, they noted the vast resources that were available. These resources included a constant source of freshwater, multiple native
of these areas try to create. For example, KNTV news continually reports on the thefts and shootings in East San Jose but does not make an effort to show how residents are dealing with these situations. The day a local East San Jose church helped sway the city council to put a streetlight on a very busy intersection, the news pre-empted the report with an accident on another East San Jose intersection. As a result, most people in these communities do not realize that they have power to change their
