1. Portland's Role in Historic Preservation
As a "Certified Local Government" (CLG), the City of Portland participates in a preservation partnership with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the National Park Service (NPS). In return for taking on certain responsibilities, such as reviewing proposed alterations to historic properties, CLGs receive many benefits, including a close working relationship with the SHPO, additional authority and responsibility regarding nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, and eligibility for matching grants from the state's apportionment of Federal preservation funding.
To be "certified," Portland must maintain certain qualifications, which, together, broadly define the City's preservation program, including:
- Maintaining a historic preservation commission (Portland Historic Landmarks Commission) that includes members meeting "professional" qualifications disciplines such as history, architecture, architectural history, archaeology, and related fields;
- Administering a preservation ordinance (contained within Portland's Zoning Code) that defines how historic preservation issues are addressed, including historic design review procedures, local historic landmark and district designation processes, and review of demolition proposals;
- Participating in updating and expanding the state's historic building inventory program;
- Reviewing and commenting on National Register of Historic Places nominations of properties within Portland's boundaries; and
- Fulfilling obligations to enforce state and Federal preservation laws.
In return, Portland receives a number of benefits from SHPO and the federal government that help local preservation efforts, including; access to the expertise and resources of state and federal agencies such as SHPO and the National Park Service; and the ability to apply for annual CLG grants from SHPO, which require a 50/50 match from the City.
2. Zoning and Other Local Historic Resources Rules and Benefits
Following is a summary of important historic resources-related provisions of Portland's Zoning Code (Title 33: Planning and Zoning). Relevant sections are found throughout the Code, but are contained primarily in Chapter 445—Historic Resource Protection Overlay Zone and Chapter 846—Historic Reviews. This web page is not the actual code; it summarizes certain elements and does not reference all regulations that may apply in a given situation, such as base zone requirements, design guidelines and Comprehensive Plan policies. For more information on how zoning regulations are applied, download the Historic Resources Zoning Summary and see the Bureau of Development Services website, including the section on Historic Reviews. Download the information guide on historic resource review.
It is important to understand how historic resources are classified by the City, because zoning regulations and incentives may apply differently, depending on the designation. A property may have more than one designation. Generally, depending on the context, the "higher" level of designation controls. The basic historic resource designations referenced in the Zoning Code are discussed below. More information is contained in the Individual Historic Resources & Landmarks and Historic & Conservation Districts sections of this website (see also "Historic Resource-Related Definitions" in section 33.910 of the Zoning Code).
Historic Landmarks
These are individual resources such as a building or bridge. There are two types of historic landmark: 1) "local" or " Portland" landmarks, i.e. individual landmarks designated by the City of Portland; and 2) "National Register properties," i.e. landmarks that are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Local and National Register historic landmarks are generally treated the same in the zoning code—with the notable exception of demolition review.
Conservation Landmarks
These are individual resources designated by the City that are significant at the local or neighborhood level. Note: When the Zoning Code uses the shortened term "landmark," it is referring to both historic landmarks and conservation landmarks.
Historic Districts
These are geographic areas with a concentration of thematically related historic resources. Like historic landmarks, there are two types of historic district: 1) "local" historic districts, designated by the City; and 2) those listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Currently all of Portland's historic districts are listed on the National Register. An important distinction is made between "contributing" and "non-contributing" resources in historic districts. Contributing resources contribute to the significance and character of the district. Non-contributing resources are those that, due to date of construction, alterations, or other factors, do not contribute to the district's historic significance or character. Application of zoning regulations in a historic district sometimes depends on a property's contributing status.
Conservation Districts
Like historic districts, this designation is applied to an area that contains a concentration of related historic resources. The level of significance is generally "lower" than for historic districts, primarily at the local or neighborhood level. A distinction between "contributing" and "non-contributing" resources is also made in these districts. Conservation districts are designated by the City of Portland.
Properties Listed in the Historic Resources Inventory (HRI)
The City of Portland adopted a citywide inventory of more than 5,000 potentially significant properties in 1984. Being listed in the HRI is not a true historic designation, as additional documentation and evaluation is required before official designation or National Register listing is warranted for these properties.
Historic Resource Review is one of the City's most important preservation tools, helping to ensure that the special characteristics, historic integrity, and architectural character of designated resources are preserved over time. Major exterior alterations to historic and conservation landmarks generally require this review, to ensure that historic values are considered and preserved when changes are made. Construction of a new building and major alterations to an existing structure in a historic or conservation district—regardless of its contributing status—also requires Historic Resource Review. This ensures that development activity supports and enhances the qualities that make the district historic. Generally, normal repair and maintenance and interior alterations do not require Historic Resource Review.
- Historic Reviews (Bureau of Development Services)
Zoning Code Preservation Incentives
Portland's Zoning Code includes special provisions that encourage new historic listings and increase the potential for historic structures to be renovated and rehabilitated by increasing land use flexibility and redevelopment options. The incentives are not applicable in every situation and some apply only to certain types of resources. Many require a land use review and a covenant with the City affirming that current and subsequent owners agree to go through Demolition Review prior to demolishing the resource (see the following section on demolition of historic resources). Most of the incentives are described in section 33.445.610 of the Zoning Code, but a few are contained, in whole or in part, in other sections of the code. You may download a summary of the zoning incentives.
Demolition or Relocation of Historic Resources
Historic resource demolition regulations provide for a deliberative process prior to the permanent loss of a piece of the city's built heritage. Depending on the type of resource, one of two different processes, Demolition Delay Review or Demolition Review (or no review) is required when the City receives a request to demolish a designated historic resource. Relocation requests are also subject to these reviews. The demolition regulations are contained primarily in Zoning Code chapters 33.445 and 33.846. See also section 33.730.031. These rules are briefly summarized below.
Building Codes: Special Provisions for Historic Buildings
Building construction activities are regulated by several state and local building codes administered in Portland by the Bureau of Development Services. These include the Oregon One and Two Family Dwelling Code, the Oregon Structural Specialty Code, and the Oregon Uniform Fire Code. In addition, several City of Portland code titles apply, including Title 24: Building Regulations, which includes rules for building renovations and rehabilitations, seismic upgrades, changes in occupancy, building moves, and partial and complete building demolitions. In some cases the International Building Code (IBC) may be applicable. As a general rule, these building codes provide standards that are easier to implement in new construction and are technically and financially challenging to apply to existing, and, especially, historic structures. However, there are a few tools designed to assist development work in these buildings.
The Bureau of Development Services has prepared several "Code Guides" to help owners, developers and building professionals understand and apply various building code provisions. Of particular relevance to historic structures is the Fire and Life-Safety Guide for Existing Buildings (FLEx Guide), which addresses the difficulty of applying the new construction-oriented Oregon Structural Specialty Code to the unique circumstances of existing and historic buildings. The FLEx Guide clearly defines alternative design, methods of construction, and materials for rehabilitation projects that are acceptable to the Bureau of Development Services without filing a formal appeal. Use of the FLEx Guide saves time and money by reducing the need for appeals and allowing for potential reuse of existing materials in historic buildings.
Portland Development Commission Programs
The Portland Development Commission is the City's urban renewal agency. Some of its programs and activities can potentially assist owners of historic buildings. Many programs are only available in designated urban renewal areas, but a few are available city-wide. The PDC website provides more information on these programs and benefits, including eligibility requirements.
3. State and Federal Historic Preservation Rules and Benefits
State of Oregon Preservation Rules and Programs
The primary state-level agency responsible for historic preservation is the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), a part of the Heritage Conservation Division of the Parks and Recreation Department. In partnership with individuals, organizations and government entities, SHPO administers a number of programs designed to preserve and encourage the use of historic places. These include survey, planning, and designation activities, grants, tax benefits, public education, and federal project review. These activities, including the popular Special Assessment tax benefit program are more fully described on the SHPO website and are codified in Oregon Revised Statutes 358 and 390, and Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 736, Divisions 50 and 51.
Federal Preservation Rules and Programs
Historic and cultural resource preservation, management and interpretation programs and regulations are administered at the federal level primarily by the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. Important federal preservation programs include the National Register of Historic Places, the Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program, preservation Grants-in-Aid to state and local agencies, and a wide variety of others. These are described more fully on the National Park Service's History & Culture website, and the National Register website.
4. Historic Designation Processes
Though the processes are different, pursuing a historic designation at either the local or National Register level requires research and documentation sufficient to allow evaluation of a resource's historical, cultural and/or architectural significance. The property owner is responsible for providing this material on the appropriate application form(s). The Bureau of Planning can help by providing reference materials and referrals. The Planning Bureau has also prepared a guide, Researching Your Historic Property, to help property owners and researchers find the information they need.
"Local" or "Portland" historic and conservation landmarks and historic and conservation districts are designated by the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission through either a quasi-judicial Historic Designation Review process or a legislative procedure. The former is a land use review administered by the Bureau of Development Services. It is usually initiated by a property owner for a single or small number of properties. A more lengthy legislative procedure is used for a larger number of properties, and it is led by the Bureau of Planning. It can be part of a broader land use process such as an area planning initiative. As required by State statute, local landmark designations require the affirmative consent of the property's owner(s). Local historic and conservation district designations require the affirmative consent of all property owners within the district.
Designation Approval Criteria
The procedures and approval criteria for designating individual landmarks and districts are provided primarily in Zoning Code Chapters 33.445 and 33.846. The criteria are the same for historic landmarks, conservation landmarks, historic districts and conservation districts. There are 12 general approval criteria, of which at least three must be met, requiring evaluation of the resource's significance in terms of its: architectural values; historical associations; physical integrity; contributions to the area's or city's character; and/or its contribution to a grouping of related resources. A "Level of Protection" criterion determines which type of designation is applied (i.e. historic or conservation landmark, or, historic or conservation district), based on the historic value and nature of the resource.
Local Historic Designation Removal Process
Local historic designations are automatically removed if the resource is destroyed by forces beyond the owner's control or if it is relocated or demolished after demolition delay review or demolition review. Historic Designation Removal Review allows for removing a local designation when requested by the owner. The applicant must show that the benefits to the public and the property owner of retaining the historic designation no longer outweigh the benefits of removing the designation, or, that the owner objected to the designation at the time it was first adopted.
National Register Properties and Districts
The National Register nomination process for individual properties and districts may be initiated by citizens, property owners, or local, state and federal governmental bodies. The first part of the process is administered by the State Historic Preservation Office. SHPO staff and the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation review nomination submittals and forward them with any required revisions and recommendations to the National Park Service for final review and listing. Portland's Bureau of Planning and Historic Landmarks Commission also review all nominations, usually holding a public meeting. The Landmarks Commission then makes recommendations to SHPO staff and the State Advisory Committee, prior to final state-level review. Owner consent is required prior to final listing for individual nominations, and more than 50 percent of a proposed historic district's property owners must object in order to prevent listing of a district. The National Register nomination process is discussed in greater detail on the National Register website. The National Register publication How to Complete the National Register Registration Form provides a good place to start.
New listings in the Historic Resource Inventory may be created by the Historic Landmarks Commission and also require property owner consent. Resources currently listed may be removed from the HRI, if requested by the owner in writing. These owner consent and removal provisions, driven by state law, make it difficult to keep the inventory up to date.

Student selected for Intel award
Posted August 20, 2002; 11:47 a.m.
Princeton University senior David Bradley has been named a finalist in Intel Corp.'s Research Award Contest for Undergraduate Students.
As one of 17 finalists in the annual contest, Bradley will receive a grant of as much as $2,000 to support his research in the coming academic year and an opportunity to present his results to Intel researchers this spring.
Intel selected Bradley for his research proposal titled "Creating Avatars From Faces in Video in Real Time." Bradley, an electrical engineering major from Rochester, Minn., plans to develop techniques for detecting the profile view of faces in pictures. His work could extend recent advances in recognizing the frontal view of faces. Detecting faces in video images is important for automated surveillance systems as well as for Internet search engines that find images rather than words.
Bradley and the other finalists will present their results at the Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., on April 11, 2003. A panel of Intel researchers will select top presenters at that meeting and award them additional cash prizes.

Hey all,
I said we weren't going to be announcing new products until we actually had stock on shelves, so here we go—the $99 Magni amp and $99 Modi DAC...available now.
Yes, now. Check em out:
Magni: $99, 1.2W Discrete Amp
Yes, you read that right. Magni is the most powerful and the least expensive amp in its class—and it is also the only amp in its price class that is fully discrete, and DC coupled from input to output. It's powerful enough for many orthos, transparent enough for many high-end headphones, and quiet enough for many IEMs. It may be the only amp you ever need. It's also made in the USA. And has a warranty 2X longer than most of the products in this price class.
Whew. Read more here:
Modi: $99 USB DAC
Modi is the most advanced USB DAC in its price class, featuring an asynchronous USB interface with plug-and-play, driverless operation on both PCs and Macs, a 32-bit AKM4396 D/A converter, and an active filter stage built around the AD8616 operational amplifier to drive long cables. It supports all bit depths and sampling rates from 16/44 to 24/96. Like Magni, it's made in the USA and features a warranty 2X longer than most of the products in its price class.
Read more:
"Wait, wait wait!" you might be saying. "I had no idea you were working on $99 products! Where did these come from? Are these the statement products? How the hell did you pull it off?"
Well, like I said, we're not going to be pre-announcing products any more. When they're in production, then: bam. Like this.
And as far as where they came from, the R&D started over a year ago, when Mike Moffat thought it would be fun to stick a D/A onto the Bifrost's USB board, and see how far he could take a USB-powered DAC. The result was so good that I decided to see what kind of neat little amp we could do to complement it. After a few iterations, a ton of internal planning, and the biggest production run in our history, the end result was Magni and Modi.
Are these the Statement products? Well, it depends on what kind of statement you're making, right? But no, these are not what you know of as the "statement" products. We'll announce those when they are ready. Just like these.
As far as how we pulled it off, I have to go back to the birth of the company. In 2009, Mike Moffat and I were talking about offshore audio products, and the possibility of building something in the USA that could get near their prices. At first, we thought it would never fly. But, as we got into penciling out the cost, we realized it just might work, as long as we were designed for direct sale.
So, we designed a couple of products—the Asgard and Valhalla. They looked good on paper, but as we were placing the first parts orders, I told Mike, "Either this will take off, or we'll be giving headphone amps to our friends for Christmas for the next twenty years."
So, when Schiit Audio launched in June 2010, we didn't know how it would go. That's why we began as a true start-up: no venture capital, no trust funds, no bank lines of credit, everything financed by product sales. This meant we had to reinvest to grow—and that meant there was a limit to how fast we could expand.
And Schiit took off faster than we expected. In fact, we spent most of this year simply trying to catch up—and building a solid foundation for the future.
Now, we're still operating on the same principles, but our resources are greater. That means Magni and Modi can be produced in large quantities, using highly automated, surface-mount assembly. It also means we have enough volume to have some serious swing with our suppliers, so we can offer exceptional value.
And that's why Magni and Modi come before more expensive products: because we wanted to push the limits of how low we can go, price-wise, while maintaining nice aesthetics, good performance, and our local manufacturing ethos.
I think we did well—but, as usual, let us know what you think!
All the best,

Firefox Working to Fix Memory Leaks 555
Christopher Blanc writes "Many Mozilla community members, including both volunteers and Mozilla Corporation employees, have been helping to reduce Firefox's memory usage and fix memory leak bugs lately. Hopefully, the result of this effort will be that Firefox 3 uses less memory than Firefox 2 did, especially after it has been used for several hours." Here's hoping. Frequent restarts of things on my computer make me furious. I can't imagine why anyone would tolerate such things.

The frequent and sometimes alarming news about Jamie Moyer's health this winter has led many of his fans to assume that the 47-year-old's career is winding down. And while that may be the case, Moyer does not see it that way.
Before an event last night at St. Joseph's University, I had the chance to speak with Moyer for the first time since he was hospitalized with a blood infection on Thanksgiving week. He not only made clear that he was ready to compete for a job in the rotation this year, but he would not call 2010 his final season.
"You know, I'm going to leave that as an open-ended question because I don't know how to answer that," Moyer said when asked if he expected to retire after this year, when his current contract expires. "It could be (my last season). It potentially could be. But so could have last year. So could have two years ago, so could have five years ago.
"The way I look at it, why limit myself? If I would have limited myself at 29, when I was released for the second or third time, I wouldn't be playing. That was what, 18 years ago? If I would have believed what they said, you know, 'take a coaching job, and if something comes up for you with another job you can take it.' If I would have followed that route, I would have never known what these last 18 years would have brought me."
Whatever happens this season, Moyer is glad to be healthy after a winter that he called "trying." Five days after Oct. 2 surgery to repair muscle tears in his groin and abdomen, Moyer was first stricken with a blood infection, and spent three nights at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
Then, at home in Florida the following month, the pitcher began to feel ill again, losing his appetite and feeling queasy. "In the middle of November, I wasn't feeling real good," he said. "It kind of persisted for a few days, so I decided to take a trip to the hospital. I had planned on coming up (to Philadelphia) anyway just to visit the doc, like two days later."
After having a CT scan at a Florida hospital the day before, Moyer flew north on Nov. 24, and was told by team medical staff that he had an abscess in his left groin.
"They hooked up a drain to it, but it really didn't drain they way they expected it to," he said. "So now we're rolling into Thanksgiving, and doctors make plans or they're out of town. So they said, 'why don't you hang here for a couple days, and we'll see what's going on when we get back.'
While his in-laws looked after Moyer's eight children in Florida, the pitcher and his wife spent Thanksgiving in the hospital. "Things didn't really get better, so they went back in and cleaned it out thoroughly and it ended up being that I had a staph infection," he said.
Moyer then began a six-week course of antibiotics, which pushed a scheduled minor knee procedure to January. Though Moyer said that his rehabilitation and workout had gone well since, he did not yet know if his spring training routine would be affected.
"I haven't really talked about it with the trainers and with (pitching coach Rich Dubee)," he said. "There is plenty of time to talk about it. Right now, I'm doing what I would normally do coming into spring training. I think its going to be a wait-and-see kind of thing."
Moyer, who was angry with management last August when he was sent to the bullpen in favor of Pedro Martinez, re-iterated his preference to start (Kyle Kendrick will be his chief competition for the job).
"That's a choice for the club to make," he said. "I would prefer to start, because I've done it my whole career. That's a no-brainer. But as far as what happens, I don't think they're going to ask me."
More on Moyer in tomorrow's Inquirer.

Getting ready for contingencies in Afghanistan
Considering the worst-case scenarios for post-2014 Afghanistan, international news agencies should start planning a range of assistance responses for locally hired journalists and media staff. By the end of 2014, NATO troops will have largely withdrawn and the Karzai government will make way for a new administration. If the situation becomes chaotic, Afghans working for foreign and local media could become targets for retribution for their work as journalists.

Modeling and Inventories
Biodiesel Emissions Analysis Program
There has been increasing interest in recent years in the use of biodiesel as a substitute for petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is derived from plant or animal fat-based oils or their transesterified counterparts. Several studies have found HC and PM benefits from the use of biodiesel, and its lubricity characteristics and renewability are also motivators for its use. Several municipalities and States are considering mandating the use of low levels of biodiesel in diesel fuel.
Description of Analyses
Using existing data, the EPA's biodiesel emissions analysis program sought to quantify the air pollution emission effects of biodiesel for diesel engines that have not been specifically modified to operate on biodiesel. The program examined the emission impacts of biodiesel and biodiesel/diesel blends for both regulated and unregulated pollutants, as well as fuel economy. The program was not intended to include investigations of other aspects of biodiesel use, such as:
- Engine durability
- Renewability/full fuel lifecycle emissions
- Materials compatibility
- Biodiesel production feedstocks or costs
- Fuel storage stability
- Cold flow properties
- Lubricity
- Cost
The statistical analyses correlated emission impacts, in terms of percent change with respect to a baseline fuel, with the concentration of biodiesel in a biodiesel/diesel blend. These emission impacts could potentially be a function of any of the following variables:
- Engine/vehicle technology
- Base fuel to which biodiesel is added
- Light versus heavy-duty
- Highway versus nonroad
- Test cycle
- Type of biodiesel
The degree to which these variables were taken into account depended on the amount and type of available data.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...p_ref=politicsThe criminal trial of former Republican Party of Florida chair Jim Greer had promised to be embarrassing for party leaders, rising Republican star Marco Rubio and former Gov. Charlie Crist, who is contemplating a new political future as a Democrat. But Greer's guilty pleas on Monday to four counts of theft and a single count of money laundering ended the trial before it even started and ensured that some state GOP secrets will remain confidential, at least for the time-being.
"There were a number of people who did not want this trial to go forward and the trial isn't going forward," Damon Chase, Greer's attorney, said after the former chair entered his pleas in court. "Once again, Jim Greer is falling on his sword for a lot of other folks."
Greer, 50, could face a prison sentence of 3 1/2 to 35 years when he is sentenced March 27. Assistant statewide prosecutor Michael Williams wouldn't say how many years prosecutors would seek.
The trial had threatened to expose the underbelly of Florida's dominant political party and its formerly high-spending ways. Party officials took heat three years ago from revelations of excessive spending at restaurants and luxury hotels on party-issued American Express cards by Republican leaders, including Rubio. Testimony about those expenditures had been expected at the trial.
Topics also covered in pretrial depositions included allegations of prostitutes at a state GOP fundraiser in the Bahamas, the drinking habits of Crist and intraparty strife. Some of Florida's most powerful politicians were scheduled as witnesses, including Crist, former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, former Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum and several state House and state Senate leaders.
Theres a response from the GOP in the link, for whatever reason i had a hell of a time quoting even that much of it. The GOP response was "justice done" "we knew we were innocent" etc, etc, etc. Anyways, if you are interested in specific allegations heres a link from before the guilty plea:
Two things from me:
1) Florida needs to change our state constitution to prevent Charlie Crist for running for any office.
2) Why is it that the only people who can indulge in prostitutes are also the same people who ban it?
