I do not know I just want this team to improve somehow.
I do not know I just want this team to improve somehow.
Lopez is the perfect trading chip on a team such as ours.
Not really in the long term planning but playing out of his mind this season on a pretty decent contract.
Plenty of contenders would be pretty interested in acquiring his services and his trade value would be sky high right now.
I'm sure Dell sees this too and I expect him to be dealt quite soon.
If his values right, move him. But what i like about him is that we can play him 20 minutes some nights and most starting centers wouldn't be cool with that. Anderson and Davis need minutes and if you brought in a guy like Cousins, I don't see where the minutes for Anderson come from unless he sees some time at SF
If you get a good value trade then move him, but if not then there's no rush. He's playing well, young and cheap but he's far from untouchable.
Why the idea of a piece worth X to us being sent out for a piece or pieces worth X+something, considering contracts, is offensive. You can't just keep every piece worth something.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Davis taking over at center is at least 2 seasons away.
To be fair, there's not much else to talk about right now. I'm not really the type to make fake scenerios, but i wish the people who were making them would think about it from the other team's perspectives. There seems to be a bit of hypocracy with people complaining about trades that other team's fanbases post in concerns for Ryno for potato chips, but then we do the same exact thing here. Everyone can make up some excuse why a trade will work: Kings are tired of Cousins; Hornets don't have a use for Ryno bc they keep losing. But rarely does it actually make sense for the other fan base.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
This guy is only 24 and suffered a lot of injuries, but his post game looks better and better each week. He is a defensive rock, and the past two games have seen an uptick in his rebounding.
I'm not willing to trade our only Center on the team for anything other than a true scoring SF, and I don't see where that scenario happens.
Plus Lopez's contract is perfect for this team. If at any point we find we don't need his services, almost any team in the league would love to have Lopez on his contract. He is an asset, yes, but for now, he is an asset worth keeping.
Technically, Lopez starts, but he is really our 3rd big.
Timberwolves are gonna be losing pekovic and need a center for cheap, would anyone trade lopez for Budinger? Then sign jefferson or pekovic and draft someone like Noel shabazz or mclemore
Really? I thought everyone wanted a small forward just like him. Big , very athletic with a great jumpshot, for a small forward I don't see us getting too much more for him, I really want Evan turner or chandler parsons tho but that would take way more than just lopez

my thoughts are - that starting on 10 - 14 - provide a great (beginner friendly) layout - woods holes, short and always near the start, so if you are waiting for your buddies you are always right there - it also provides players with a small loop of holes that can be played in a short span of time
then hole 15 -1000 ft - now you get to drive - great to have this near the beginning - here is your distance training hole - and once you play it you are off on the seviren adventure
from there the course grows - climbs and bites - the new 7 pin, 8 pin, and finish on 9 provide a climatic, risk/reward, and exciting final 3 holes to the round
establishing the course on the top of the hill provides an awesome view of the land below, the drive through the park allows players to see what lies before them on the back of the course, and the upper area has increased parking, bathrooms, a practice basket area, and a larger warmup area
the issue with getting to the new hole 1 and crossing hole 18 - will be challenged - but with all these additions - plus extra signage and possible future pad additions - it will be a vast improvement to the course flow and fun
thanks to all those who have helped up to this point - more work is still needed - in the woods all downed branches still need to be moved to the wood fence lines - benches are lined up to be installed on about 12 of the holes - new hole signs are going in + new pin markers on top of the basket + maybe some new concrete short pads and pad extensions and pin placements for erosion control
Seviren is king of Indiana - if you have yet to play - check it out ASAP - doubles are thursday nights at 6 - and our 2nd annual Seviren Lang Memorial Tourney is Apr 14
Agreed, and the new pin placements on 7 & 8 (which a few of you have played already to temp baskets) make for a very challenging finish to the course.
Great work out there, the course is looking better than ever and thanks to all who helped!

When do the sleeves get set? They've only got about 3 weeks (and will the new pad on old 5/new 14 be ready?)

Not sure, I should hear something back from the parks department soon.

Is the reason you chose not to use new #4 as #1 because you wanted the really tough holes to finish? Just curious, as I think the current new #1 might cause some problems when crossing the fairway...
Oops, I didn't see Bassmantum's question...nevermind!
Great job on the maps. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) be able to get out there and see it one day.

My putter still doinks harder than yours!
other than casual rounds you wont be crossing the fairway plus there is a short route that goes by the basket now as well. In tournament rounds you will all start at the same time so should be no crossing as it would play as it does now. From my understanding that those 3 finishing holes will make it a tough way to end and balance out the birdie holes to where you start with a few and eventually build up to the big tough finish.
I just played the new layout at Seviren yesterday and didnt realize the holes had changed until i was on the old #5. The 3 new pin placements added 3 extra strokes to my scores, but hopefully a few more rounds and i could shave those off. The new #1 doent bother me but i was wondering if they are still goin to close the gates of the park during winter?
They will close the gates for a couple months over the winter. During that time we can start on hole 10 (old hole 1) like we used to.
We've also got alternate basket locations planned for nearly every hole that we'll use during the winter to reduce the erosion and wear to the course.

Of the five networks, The CW has the fewest hours of primetime to fill but they're not finding it any easier to find hits. Most of their returning shows are way down year-to-year and some of their new series are struggling. Which will be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned!
CW shows this season (so far): The 100, America's Next Top Model, Arrow, Backpackers, Beauty and the Beast, The Carrie Diaries, Famous in 12, Hart of Dixie, Masters of Illusion, Nikita, The Originals, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Reign, Seed, Supernatural, The Tomorrow People, The Vampire Diaries, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
How does The CW decide what to cancel or renew? They look at a lot of different factors but the ratings play an important role. The higher the ratings, the better chance a show has of surviving. Here's how the network's shows are doing so far:

Whew … that was close.
In case you missed it, it appears Floyd County has emerged unscathed from a crisis of moral turpitude. We refer, of course, to that shameful billboard atop Katy Friend Mountain that exposed thousands of innocent eyes to the degradation and damnation of a shirtless man.
To the shock and horror of literally an entire handful of individuals, the depraved billboard attempted to lure passersby to that den of iniquity, the Mountain Arts Center, by posing Kentucky Opry character "Munroe" behind an advertisement, apparently wearing his trademark hat, red Chuck Taylors, a smile and nothing else. Why, it is nothing short of a miracle that no one was killed in wrecks along that stretch of highway. It is a testament to the strong character and decency of Floyd County women that they were able to steel themselves and avoid swooning from being overcome by the vapors upon viewing this lewd and lascivious image.
And yet, that same strong character and decency is being called into question, simply because so many local residents refused to react with wholly reasonable apoplectic conniptions of rage. Instead, they somehow viewed the billboard as "humorous," or otherwise shrugged their shoulders in indifference.
The fact that so few worked themselves up into a blind and blathering furor over this blatant pornography is a dark stain upon our county that requires each of us to do some soul-searching. How is it that so many people were seemingly unbothered by an image almost as titillating as the opening credits of "Petticoat Junction"? For heaven's sake, you could almost see the man's knees!
Fortunately, we were rescued by a brave group of souls who, unencumbered by a sense of humor or embarrassment, heroically confronted the issue head-on. And by "brave," "heroically" and "head-on," we mean they hid behind anonymous angry phone calls to the MAC and Mann Toyota, which sponsored the billboard.
Showing all the resilience of a Jell-O mold in the hot, July sun, the MAC board of directors last week buckled like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and requested that the sign be taken down, thereby rightfully insulting all the godless heathens who refused to demonstrate their holier-than-thou attitudes toward their neighbors by taking righteous umbrage in the sign. Those lost souls probably think we should spend our time worrying about much less important things, like rampant drug abuse, the collapsing coal economy, or the imploding county budget.
Now that this first battle for puritanism has been fought and won in Floyd County, we can only hope that it continues to sweep the county like an unenlightened firestorm. Have you seen some of the magazines for sale by the checkout counter at the supermarket? Did you know that, every single day of the summer, there are men running around local swimming pools showing every bit as much skin as Munroe, if not more? In front of children, no less! Are you aware that many of the female performers at the MAC routinely expose their ankles for all to see, if not their entire calves? Why, just this past weekend, many of our local schools held disgraceful orgies of decadence, innocently called "proms," where our children were exposed to and perhaps even participated in dancing!
This simply cannot be allowed to continue. We must act swiftly and decisively to strangle every last ounce of joy and humor out of life … for the sake of our children. We must show them that there is simply no excuse for going through life feeling anything but miserable and ashamed.
Surely, this over-reaction in the name of public decency will go a long way toward elevating Eastern Kentucky in the eyes of the rest of the nation and will demonstrate we are not deserving of the laughingstock label we so often get.

Driver airlifted to hospital
Published at 12:28, Thursday, 07 February 2013
A DRIVER was airlifted to hospital on yesterday morning following a crash on the road between Ovingham and Wylam.
Police and the fire brigade were called at around 8am when a Vauxhall Astra and Mitsubishi pick up truck collided on Ovingham Road.
The male driver of the Astra was flown to Newcastle's RVI for treatment by the Great North Air Ambulance after suffering back pain.
The road was closed between Woodcroft Road in Wylam and Piper Road, in Ovingham, while the vehicles were recovered and oil which spilled on to the road surface was washed off.

178.010 PURPOSE. The purpose of the Floodplain Overlay Zone is to:
(A) Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities.
(B) Minimize expenditure of public money for flood control projects, rescue and relief efforts in areas subject to flooding.
(C) Minimize flood damage to new construction by elevating or flood proofing all structures.
(D) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels and natural protective barriers which hold, accommodate or channel flood waters.
(E) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may be subject to or increase flood damage.
(F) Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
(G) Comply with the requirements of the Federal Insurance Administration to qualify Marion County for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
(H) Minimize flood insurance premiums paid by the citizens of Marion County by reducing potential hazards due to flood damage.
(I) Implement the floodplain policies in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan.
178.020 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this overlay zone the following terms shall mean:
(A) Area of Shallow Flooding - Means a designated AO or AH Zone on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from one to three feet; a clearly defined channel does not exist; the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; and velocity flow may be evident. AO is characterized as sheet flow and AH indicates ponding.
(B) Base Flood Level ‑ The flood level having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (100 year floodplain).
(C) Conveyance - Means the carrying capacity of all or a part of the floodplain. It reflects the quantity and velocity of floodwaters. Conveyance is measured in cubic feet per second (CFS). If the flow is 30,000 CFS at a cross section, this means that 30,000 cubic feet of water pass through the cross section each second.
(D) Existing Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision - Is one in which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed was completed before the effective date (August 15, 1979) of the community's floodplain management regulations. The construction of facilities includes, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads.
(E) Encroachment - Means any obstruction in the floodplain which affects flood flows.
(F) Flood or Flooding ‑ A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of usually dry land areas from the unusual and rapid accumulation of runoff of surface waters from any source.
(G) Flood Boundary Floodway Map (FBFM) ‑ The map portion of the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) issued by the Federal Insurance Agency on which is delineated the Floodplain, Floodway (and Floodway Fringe) and cross sections (referenced in the text portion of the FIS).
(H) Floodplain Development ‑ Means any manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate including, but not limited to, buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations located within the floodplain.
(I) Floodway Fringe ‑ The area of the floodplain lying outside of the floodway as delineated on the FBFM where encroachment by development will not increase the flood elevation more than one foot during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
(J) Floodplain ‑ Lands within the County that are subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year and other areas as identified on the official zoning maps of Marion County.
(K) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) ‑ The official map on which the Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazards (floodplain) and the risk premium zones applicable to the community and is on file with the Marion County Planning Division.
(L) Flood Insurance Study (FIS) ‑ The official report provided by the Federal Insurance Administration that includes flood profiles, the Flood Boundary‑Floodway map and the water surface elevation of the base flood and is on file with Marion County Planning Division.
(M) Floodproofing ‑ A combination of structural or non-structural provisions, changes or adjustments to structures, land or waterways for the reduction or elimination of flood damage to properties, water and sanitary facilities, structures and contents of buildings in a flood hazard area.
(N) Floodway ‑ The channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must
remain unobstructed to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot. The floodway is identified on the Flood Boundary Floodway Map.
(O) Highway Ready - Means a fully licensed recreation vehicle that is on wheels or a jacking system, is attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and has no permanently attached additions.
(P) Lowest floor - Means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage, in an area other than a basement area, is not considered a building's lowest floor, provided that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable non-elevation design requirements of this ordinance.
(Q) Manufactured Home - Means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. For floodplain management purposes the term "manufactured home" also includes mobile homes as defined in Section (T). For insurance and floodplain management purposes the term "manufactured home" does not include park trailers, travel trailers, and other similar vehicles as defined in Section 178.020(X).
(R) Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision - Means a parcel (or contiguous parcels) of land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.
(S) Mean Sea Level - Means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the National
Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or other datum, to which base flood elevations
shown on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map are referenced.
(T) Mobile Home - Means a vehicle or structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is eight feet or more in width, is 32 feet or more in length, is built on a permanent chassis to which running gear is or has been attached, and is designed to be used as a dwelling with or without permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. Such definition does not include any recreational vehicle as defined by Section 178.020(X).
(U) New Construction - Any structure(s) for which the start of construction commenced on or after the effective date of the Floodplain Overlay Zone (August 15, 1979).
(V) Obstruction - Any physical object which hinders the passage of water.
(W) Permanent Foundation - Means a natural or manufactured support system to which a structure is anchored or attached. A permanent foundation is capable of resisting flood forces and may include posts, piles, poured concrete or reinforced block walls, properly compacted fill, or other systems of comparable flood resistivity and strength.
(X) Recreational Vehicle - Means a "camper," "motor home," "travel trailer," as defined in ORS 801.180, 801.350, and 801.565 that is intended for temporary human occupancy and is equipped with plumbing, sinks, or toilet, and does not meet the definition of a mobile home in Section 178.020(T).
(Y) Reinforced Pier - At a minimum, a reinforced pier must have a footing adequate to support the weight of the manufactured home under saturated soil conditions. Concrete blocks may be used if vertical steel reinforcing rods are placed in the hollows of the blocks and the hollows are filled with concrete or high strength mortar. Dry stacked concrete blocks do not constitute reinforced piers. When piers exceed 36 inches under "I" beams or 48 inches under floor systems they are required to be designed by an engineer licensed in Oregon.
(Z) Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) - Areas subject to inundation from the waters of a 100-year flood.
(AA) Start of Construction ‑ (For other than new construction or substantial improvements under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (Pub. L. 97-348)), includes substantial improvement, and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days of the permit date. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slabs or footings the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling, nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary
forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as
garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure.
(BB) Substantial Damage - Means flood related damage when the cost of restoring the structure would equal or exceed 20 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
(CC) Substantial Improvement ‑ Any repair, reconstruction or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 20 percent of the assessed value of the structure:
(1) Before the improvement or repair is started; or
(2) If the structure has been damaged and is being restored, before the damage occurred. For purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other structural part of the building commences whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structures. The term does not include:
(a) Any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions;
(b) Any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or State Inventory of Historic Places.
(DD) Watercourse - A natural or artificial channel in which a flow of water occurs either continually or intermittently in identified floodplains.
(EE) Water Dependent - Means a use or activity that can be carried out only on, in or adjacent to water areas because the use requires access to the water body for water related transportation, recreation, energy production or source of water. These uses include structures that to serve their purpose must be in or adjacent to water areas, such as bridges, culverts, and erosion and flood control structures.
(FF) Zoning Administrator - Shall be the Planning Director or his designee.
178.030 GENERAL PROVISIONS. The following regulations apply to all unincorporated lands in identified floodplains as shown graphically on the zoning maps. The floodplain comprises those areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled the "Flood Insurance Study for Marion County, Oregon, Unincorporated Areas" dated January 19, 2000, with accompanying Floodway and Flood Insurance Rate Maps and amendments taking effect as of August 15, 1979, August 19, 1987, September 30, 1993, December 19, 1995, June 19, 1997, and January 2, 2003. The floodplain also comprises areas identified and mapped by Marion County that were not studied by the FIA. The report and maps are incorporated in
the overlay zone by this reference and are on file with the Marion County Planning Division. When base flood elevation data have not been provided, the Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to determine the location of the boundaries of the floodplain where there appears to be conflict between a mapped boundary and the actual field conditions, provided a record is maintained of any such determination.
(A) Duties of the Zoning Administrator shall include, but not be limited to:
(1) Review all development permits to determine that the permit requirements of this ordinance have been satisfied.
(2) Review all development permits to determine that all necessary permits have been obtained from those Federal, State, or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is required.
(3) Review building permits where elevation data is not available either through the FIS or from another authoritative source, to assure that proposed construction will be reasonably safe from flooding. The test of reasonableness is a local judgment and includes use of historical data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, etc., where available.
(4) Review all development permits to determine if the proposed development is located in the floodway. If located in the floodway, assure that the encroachment provisions of Section 178.060(J) are met.
(5) Obtain and record the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved structures, and whether or not the structures contain a basement.
(6) For all new substantially improved floodproofed structures:
(a) Verify and record the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level), and
(b) Maintain the floodproofing certifications required in Section 178.060(C).
(7) Maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provisions of this ordinance.
178.040 USES. Within a FP (Floodplain) Overlay zone no uses, structures, recreational vehicles and premises shall be used or established except as provided in the applicable underlying zone and the provisions of this overlay zone. Except as provided herein all uses and floodplain development shall be subject to issuance of a conditional use permit (Floodplain Development Permit) as provided in Section 178.050.
(A) The following uses are exempt from the regulations of this overlay zone:
(1) Signs, markers, aids, etc., placed by a public agency to serve the public.
(2) Streets, driveways, parking lots and other open space use areas where no alteration of topography will occur.
(3) Minor repairs or alterations to existing structures provided the alterations do not increase the size or intensify the use of the structure, and do not constitute "substantial improvement" as defined in Section 178.020(CC).
(4) Customary dredging associated with channel maintenance consistent with applicable State or Federal law. This exemption does not apply to the dredged materials placed within a floodplain.
(5) Placement of utility facilities necessary to serve established and permitted uses within floodplain areas, such as telephone poles. This exemption does not apply to buildings, substations, or other types of floodplain development.
(B) The following are not required to obtain a conditional use permit provided:
(1) That prior to obtaining a building permit for any residential, commercial or industrial structure within an area identified by FIA or Marion County as being within a 500 year floodplain the applicant shall comply with the requirement in 178.050(C).
(2) New dwellings and manufactured homes, and replacement dwellings that are not being replaced in the same location as the original dwelling, are prohibited in the floodplain if there is an area on the subject property that is located outside of the floodplain where the dwelling can be placed. An exception to this prohibition may be granted if a floodplain development permit, and variance consistent with Section 178.080, are obtained.
(A) Except as provided in Section 178.040 a conditional use permit (Floodplain Development Permit) shall be obtained before construction or development begins within the Floodplain Overlay Zone. The conditional use permit shall include conditions ensuring that the Flood Protection standards in Section 178.060 are met.
(B) When base flood elevation data and floodway data have not been provided in accordance with Section 178.030, the applicant, with the assistance of the Zoning Administrator, shall obtain and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation data or evidence available from a Federal, State or other source in order to determine compliance with the flood protection standards. If data are insufficient, the Zoning Administrator may require that the applicant provide data derived by standard engineering methods.
(C) Prior to obtaining a building permit the owner shall be required to sign and record in the deed records for the county a declaratory statement binding the landowner, and the landowners successors in interest acknowledging that the property and the approved development are located in a floodplain.
(D) Prior to obtaining a building permit, commencing development or placing fill in the floodplain the applicant shall submit a certification from a registered civil engineer demonstrating that a development or fill will not result in an increase in floodplain area on other properties and will not result in an increase in erosive velocity of the stream that may cause channel scouring or reduce slope stability downstream of the development or fill.
(E) Prior to any mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving or excavation within the 500 year floodplain of the Mill Creek Basin Flood Hazard Area (MCBFHA), as shown on the Marion County zoning maps, a floodplain development permit shall be obtained.
(F) The applicant shall provide an elevation certificate signed by a licensed surveyor or civil engineer certifying that the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved manufactured homes, dwellings and structures meets the requirements of Section 178.060(A),(B) and (C) where applicable, as follows:
(1) Prior to construction (based on construction drawings), and
(2) Once the floor elevation can be determined (based on the building under construction), and
(3) Prior to occupancy (based on finished construction).
(G) A highway ready recreation vehicle may be located on a lot or parcel without a dwelling in a floodplain or floodway only during the non-flood season (June 1 through September 30), subject to the requirements in Section 126.40.
(H) In addition to other information required in a conditional use application, the application shall include:
(1) Land elevation in mean sea level data at development site and topographic characteristics of the site.
(2) Base flood level expressed in mean sea level data on the site.
(3) Plot plan showing property location, floodplain and floodway boundaries where applicable, boundaries and the location and floor elevations of existing and proposed development, or the location of grading or filling where ground surface modifications are to be undertaken.
(4) Any additional statements and maps providing information demonstrating existing or historical flooding conditions or characteristics which may aid in determining
compliance with the flood protection standards of this overlay zone.
178.060 FLOOD PROTECTION STANDARDS. In all areas of identified floodplain, the following requirements apply:
(A) Dwellings and Manufactured Homes
New residential construction, substantial improvement of any residential structures, location of a manufactured home on a lot or in a manufactured home park or park expansion approved after adoption of this ordinance shall:
(1) Dwellings shall have the top of the lowest floor, including basement, elevated on a permanent foundation to two (2) feet above base flood elevation and the bottom of the lowest floor constructed a minimum of one (1) foot above the base flood elevation. Where the base flood elevation is not available, the top of the lowest floor, including basement shall be elevated on a permanent foundation to two (2) feet above the highest adjacent natural grade (within 5 feet) of the building site and the bottom of the lowest floor elevated to one (1) foot above the highest adjacent natural grade (within 5 feet) of the building site; and
(2) Manufactured homes shall have the finished floor, including basement, elevated on a permanent foundation to two (2) feet above base flood elevation.

(3) Manufactured homes shall be anchored in accordance with subsection (D); and
(4) No new dwelling or manufactured home shall be placed in a floodway. An exception to this prohibition may be granted if a floodplain development permit, and variance consistent with Section 178.080, are obtained.
(5) Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are prohibited, or shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:
(a) A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided.
(b) The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade.
(c) Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
(B) Manufactured homes in existing manufactured home parks
The standards in Section 178.060(A) shall apply to location of a manufactured home in a vacant space in a manufactured home park existing prior to adoption of this ordinance.
(C) Non‑residential development
(1) New construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial or other non‑residential structures shall either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to two (2) feet above the level of the base flood elevation. Where the base flood elevation is not available, the lowest floor, including basement, shall be elevated to two (2) feet above the highest adjacent natural grade (within 5 feet) of the building site; or together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, shall:
(a) Be floodproofed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water.
(b) Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy.
(c) Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the standards in this subsection and subsection (E) are satisfied. This certificate shall include the specific elevation (in relation to mean sea level) to which such structures are floodproofed.
(d) Non-residential structures that are elevated, not floodproofed, must meet the same standards for space below the lowest floor as described in 178.060 (A) (5).
(e) Applicants floodproofing non-residential buildings shall be notified by the Zoning Administrator that flood insurance premiums will be based on rates that are one foot below the floodproofed level (e.g. a building constructed to the base flood level will be rated as one foot below that level).
(2) New construction of any commercial, industrial or other non‑residential structures are prohibited in the floodway. An exception to this prohibition may be granted if a floodplain development permit, and variance consistent with Section 178.080, are obtained. This prohibition does not apply to water dependent uses.
(D) Anchoring
(1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent floatation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure.
(2) All manufactured homes must likewise be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movements, and shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize
flood damage. Anchoring methods may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-
top or frame ties to ground anchors. Anchoring methods shall be consistent with
the standards contained in Section 308 (Flood Resistance) contained in the Oregon
Manufactured Dwelling Standards Manual 1997.
(E) Construction materials and methods
(1) All new construction and substantial improvements below base flood level shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage, and the design and methods of construction are in accord with accepted standards of practice based on an engineer's or architect's review of the plans and specifications.
(2) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damages.
(F) Utilities
(1) All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system as approved by the State Health Division.
(2) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems including on-site waste disposal systems shall be designed and located to minimize flood water contamination consistent with the requirements of the Oregon State Department of Environmental Quality.
(3) Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air-conditioning equipment shall be elevated to one (1) above the level of the base flood elevation. Where the base flood elevation is not available, the electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air-condition equipment shall be elevated to one (1) foot above the highest adjacent natural grade (within 5 feet) of the building site.
(G) Developments, Generally - Residential developments involving more than one single family dwelling, including subdivisions, manufactured home parks, multiple family dwellings and planned developments including development regulated under (A) and (C) shall meet the following requirements:
(1) Be designed to minimize flood damage.
(2) Have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas electrical and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage.
(3) Have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage.
(4) Base flood elevation data shall be provided by the developer. In cases where no base
flood elevation is available analysis by standard engineering methods will be required.
(H) Storage of materials and equipment ‑ Materials that are buoyant, flammable, obnoxious, toxic or otherwise injurious to persons or property, if transported by floodwaters, are prohibited. Storage of materials and equipment not having these characteristics is permissible only if the materials and equipment have low‑damage potential and are anchored or are readily removable from the area within the time available after forecasting and warning.
(I) Alteration of watercourses ‑ When considering a conditional use permit to allow alteration or modification of a watercourse the following shall apply:
(1) Adjacent communities, the Oregon Division of State Lands and the Department of Land Conservation and Development shall be notified prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse and evidence of such notification shall be submitted to the Federal Insurance Administration.
(2) Maintenance shall be provided within the altered or relocated portion of said watercourse so that the flood carrying capacity is not diminished.
(J) Floodways ‑ Located within areas of floodplain established in Section 178.030 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential the following provisions shall apply in addition to the requirement in (I):
(1) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development unless a certified technical evaluation is provided by a registered professional engineer or architect demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. This evaluation may be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for technical review.
(2) If Section 1 above is satisfied all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Section 178.060.
(3) The area below the lowest floor shall remain open and unenclosed to allow the unrestricted flow of floodwaters beneath the structure.
(K) Standards for Shallow Flooding Areas (AO Zones)
Shallow flooding area appear on FIRMs as AO zones with depth designations. The base flood depths in these zones range from 1 to 3 feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist, or where the path of flooding is unpredictable and where velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is usually characterized as sheet flow. In these areas, the following provisions apply:
(1) New construction and substantial improvements of residential structures within AO
zones shall have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent natural grade (within 5 feet) of the building site, to two (2) feet above the depth number specified on the FIRM or three (3) feet if no depth number is specified.
(2) New Construction and substantial improvements of non-residential structures within AO zones shall either:
(a) Have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent natural grade (within 5 feet) of the building site, to two (2) feet above the depth number specified on the FIRM or three (3) feet if no depth number is specified; or
(b) Together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, be completely floodproofed to or above that level so that any space below that level is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy. If this method is used, compliance shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect as in Subsection 178.060(E).
(3) Require adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures.
178.070 GENERALIZED FLOODPLAIN AREAS. Where elevation data is generalized, such as the unnumbered A zones on the FIRM, conditional use permits shall include a review and determination that proposed construction will be reasonably safe from flooding and meet the flood protection standards. In determining whether the proposed floodplain development is reasonably safe, applicable criteria shall include, among other things, the use of historical data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, or data (e.g. an engineering study or soil and landscape analysis) may be submitted by qualified professionals that demonstrate the site is not in a floodplain. In such cases, a letter of map amendment may be required by the Zoning Administrator.
(A) A variance may be issued as part of the conditional use process for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, in conformance with the criteria in subsection 178.090. The variance criteria of Section 122.020 of the Zoning Ordinance do not apply.
(B) Marion County shall notify the applicant in writing over the signature of the Zoning Administrator that: 1) the issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25.00 for $100.00 of insurance coverage; and 2) such construction below the base flood level
increases risk to life and property. Such notification shall be maintained with a record of all
variance actions as required in subsection (C).
(C) Marion County shall: 1) maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for
their issuance; and 2) report such variances issued in its biennial report submitted to the NFIP Administrator.
178.090 VARIANCE CRITERIA. The following criteria shall be used to review variance applications.
(A) Variances shall only be issued upon a showing that:
(1) There is a good and sufficient cause;
(2) That failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant;
(3) That the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances,
cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws;
(4) The variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief;
(5) The variance will be consistent with the intent and purpose of the provision being varied;
(6) There has not been a previous land use action approved on the basis that variances would not be allowed; and
(7) The new construction or substantial improvement is not within any designated regulatory floodway, or if located in a floodway, no increase in base flood discharge will result.
178.100 WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY. The degree of flood protection required by this overlay zone is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on occasion. Flood heights may be increased by man‑made or natural causes. This zone does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This zone will not create liability on the part of Marion County, any officer or employee thereof or the Federal Insurance Administration for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any decision lawfully made thereunder.

Victor Matfield has conceded the senior players determined how South Africa played in the last four years – and not the coach Peter de Villiers.
Matfield, who has retired from rugby, said he left South Africa for France because of De Villiers's appointment but after meeting with him decided he wanted to work with him.
Matfield, is quoted on Rugby365.com, as saying for De Villiers to have wanted to change he would have had to drop the senior players – and they told him they had a certain mindset and that is how they believed they could be successful at the 2011 World Cup.
The reality is they weren't, regardless of the small margins in winning and defeat.
Matfield praised De Villiers for his flexibility and for listening to the senior players and that they persuaded him about the route the Boks needed to take.
'I was in France when he got the job – I went to France because he got the job, said Matfield. 'But I came back after spending one hour with him. I decided: 'This is a guy I'd love to work with'. I'm very happy about my decision. He's an unbelievable guy and I've just got respect for him.
'I think when he came in he got in with a lot of senior players that had a style in their head that they wanted to play," he said. I don't think any coach would have been able to change their mind, [except] maybe if he dropped 80 percent of the guys they could.
'He [De Villiers] accepted that, he worked with that, he always gave everything we wanted, he created an unbelievable environment for us to perform in. We had a great four years with him.'
The reality is the Boks are out of the World Cup at the quarter-finals and finished last in the Tri Nations in 2011.

Dog Snake Bites
Dog Snake Bites
Snakes are commonly found all across the country. In most cases, they aren't poisonous and are of little concern to everyone. There are some cases in which a snake bite can be a very dangerous thing and it must be treated as quickly as possible.
When a dog is bit, it is important to remember that it isn't an instant death sentence. There is treatment that can be done to your dog to help them get better, but it has to be administered very quickly. The bite can be essentially very painful, and shouldn't be ignored to see if your dog gets better without treatment. It is important that every dangerous snake bite is treated like a medical emergency.
In the First Moments
If you saw the type of snake that bit your dog, make a note of it. The vet will need this information to help them administer proper bite care. Never attempt to catch the snake yourself. When the snake has moved a safe distance from your dog avoid catching it or trying to get close enough to pick it up. This can cause additional bites to occur. Remember that the snake is just as scared as everyone else.
If the snake won't move, check for a snake removal service in your local area and call it. In some cases, the only department available is animal control, and they can usually be contacted through your local police department. While they are on their way, notify your vet that you will be bringing in your dog.
When you have your dog safely away from harm, prepare to bring them into the vet. If your vet has offered you any advice, follow it. As you are following your vet's advice, avoid doing some common mistakes that are made after a snake bite.
Movies have shown us that we should suck out poison or restrict the blood flow with a tourniquet. Both of these procedures are very dangerous and can harm dog. With a tourniquet there is a higher risk for tissue damage because you restrict blood flow in the animal. When you try to suck out the poison, it can infect the bite further, and it also opens you up for having the poison enter your system as well. In addition, you should never cut the wound open or place ice on the bite.
Taking Your Dog to the Vet
As you bring in your dog to the vet's office remember they are scared too. You should remain calm and loving towards your dog during this time instead. Your dog will sense if you are upset and this will increase his anxiety which will help the poison to process faster.
When you arrive at the vet, make sure you approach the situation calmly and work with the staff trying to help your dog. They are just as interested in saving your dog as you are. If you shout at them or cause trouble it only prevents them from helping your dog get the attention he needs the most.
Things to Consider for Treatment
The treatment process can be a difficult one for many dog owners. There are costs and medications that are involved. Antivenin is a common treatment for most toxic snake bites, but there is a cost associated with them, and for some bites they won't work. If your vet suggests this treatment, take the time to discuss the process and what cost and payment options you have.
A snake bite can be a rough thing for many dog owners to deal with. Keep calm and show your dog comfort and love during this time. Your peace will keep them relaxed and help them make it through this frightening time.

Comments about Troy Lee Designs Rincon Protector:
I had owned this jacket only a few hours before casing a landing and launching myself into a rocky mountain side. Thank You TLD (and Giro and Poc). You saved me a trip to the ER.
This was the worst accident I've experienced. Cracked my helmet, ripped knee pads, shredded clothing. But the jacket just plain worked. Everything stayed in place. The hard plastic saved me from stitches. Just enough padding to keep me from breaking bones... although I did bruise, especially around the outlines of the hard plastic shoulders. Minus some rash on the plastic, it was no worse for wear.
It's definitely a little on the heavy side but does breath well. I found the back protector wanting to ride up just enough to knock the back of my helmet. But overall the fit was good and the protection great.

Comments about Troy Lee Designs Rincon Protector:
I bought this in a medium and the fit could have been better. My main problem with it was that my arms had much more limited range of motion with it on, and when I wore it under a medium troy lee designs jersey and it seemed very noticeable/bulky. It does have excellent build quality and is very adjustable to get a good fit, but it wasn't what i was looking for

Whitecaps sign Hirano
Hirano, 33, comes to Vancouver after playing the last 15 years in Japan's J.League Division 1 (J1). The five-foot-eleven, 160-pound left midfielder, is one of 11 players to have reached the mark of 350 total appearances in Japan's top division. The majority of those games came during his eight seasons at Nagoya Grampus Eight after being discovered by former head coach, and current Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger. While with Nagoya, Hirano played 222 matches and recorded 43 goals. The midfielder won the Emperor's Cup competition with Nagoya in both the 1995 and 1999 seasons, and the Japanese Super Cup in 1996. In 1997, Hirano was part of the Grampus side that reached the final of the Asian Cup Winners Cup.
In 2000, Hirano ended his distinguished spell at Nagoya and joined Kyoto Purple Sanga. From 2001 to 2007, Hirano played for Jubilo Iwata, Vissel Kobe, Tokyo Verdy, Yokohama F. Marinos and finally, Omiya Ardija in 2007. In total, Hirano, played in 352 matches and scored 54 goals in J1.
Hirano, a native of Shimizu City, Japan, has also earned 15 senior caps and scored four goals for his country. The midfielder earned his first start and goal with the national team on June 8, 1997, in a 4-3 victory over Croatia. In 1998, Hirano was a member of the squad that represented Japan at FIFA World Cup. Drawn in Group H at France '98, the midfielder was an 84th-minute substitute in a 1-0 defeat to Argentina in Toulouse on June 14. On June 26, Hirano played the final 32 minutes of the 2-1 defeat to Jamaica in Lyon, as Japan went out of their first-ever World Cup finals at the group stage. Hirano was also part of the 1992 U-19 side in the AFC Youth Championship.

Mexico After the National Elections of '97: Neither Heaven nor Hell
In the presidential elections of 1988, Mexican voters, probably the majority, gave notice that they would no longer accept the power and alleged abuses of the long-dominant political party, PRI, by voting against it. The PRI candidate, Carlos Salinas, was declared victor, but charges of fraud in the tabulating of votes were strong and widely based. Shocking events in 1994-a rebellion in Chiapas, the assassination of the PRI presidential candidate, the beginning of another financial crisis (several had occurred in the 70s and 80s)-set the scene for renewed demands for democratic elections and elimination of alleged abuses by PRI.
Elections in 1997 saw large numbers of PRI congressional candidates defeated and a member of a new party, Cuauhtemoc Cardenas of PRD (the Democratic Revolutionary Party), was elected as mayor of the Federal District (Mexico City). Many analysts think that from his highly important office, Cardenas will be launched into the presidency in the year 2000.
Dr. Dresser's talk will analyze the 1997 elections as a starting point for examining the main trends shaping Mexican politics and society today, including the demise of PRI, the renaissance of the Mexican left, the new role of the media, the empowerment of Congress, and the Chiapas crisis.
Denise Dresser is a professor of political science at the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico (ITAM) and has also taught at Georgetown University. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University. Dr. Dresser has been a visiting research fellow at the center for U.S.-Mexican Studies, University of California, San Diego; and a senior visiting fellow at the Inter-American dialogue in Washington, D.C.
Dresser is the author of Neopopulist Solutions to Neoliberal Problems: Mexico 's National Solidarity Problem (1992) and of numerous articles on Mexican politics and U.S.-Mexico relations. She writes a political column for the Mexican newspaper Reforma and is the host of the political talk show Entre Versiones on Mexican television. She is also a regular contributor to the editorial page of the Los Angeles Times and The Globe and Mail.
Please join the Athenaeum and the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies for this lecture on vital events in Mexico.
Extraterrestrial Environments: Pluto Explorer Project
In 1991, as one of a series of U.S. postage stamps commemorating planetary exploration, the stamp for Pluto carried the legend "Not yet explored." Robert L. Staehle, a JPL aeronautical engineer, quickly convinced NASA administrator Daniel Goldin that the stamp provided a perfect challenge to implement Goldin's "cheaper, faster, better" agenda for future NASA missions and promptly became manager of the Pluto Fast Flyby (now Pluto-Kuiper Express) preproject.
In the ensuing years Staehle has also become manager of the Europa Orbiter and Solar Probe preprojects, and the three are officially know as "Ice and Fire." They constitute a multimission approach to explore the hottest, coldest, and hardest-to- reach regions of our solar system. Pluto-Kuiper Express will complete the reconnaissance of the known planets in our solar system, with a possible extension to the newly-discovered Kuiper Disk. Solar Probe will penetrate deeply our nearest star's atmosphere to measure the birth of solar wind and image solar phenomena.
Europa, fourth largest satellite of Jupiter, has gained the rank of one of the highest priority targets for a outer solar system exploration mission. If liquid water were to exist on Europa, it would not be unreasonable to speculate on the existence of life there, perhaps occurring near undersea volcanic vents just as life on earth has been discovered at great ocean depths, beyond the penetration of sunlight, thriving on upwelling chemical nutrients from the interior of the planet. The Europa Orbiter will look for a global subsurface liquid water ocean. If the ocean exists, science measurements will identify locations where the ocean may be accessible to future missions to search for evidence of life.
Staehle's lecture, enhanced by slides, will describe the missions and the extreme environmental conditions encountered en route and at the destinations. This is the second lecture on extraterrestrial environments sponsored by the Roberts Environmental Center.
Dying To Be Thin
Carolyn Costin has developed an effective program for treating eating disorders, the complexity and intensity of which highlights the tremendous grip of anorexia and bulimia upon its victims. Her center, named Monte Nido (mountain nest), is located in the foothills of Malibu, California, abutting a state park and the Pacific Ocean. Her staff, recovered anorexics and bulimics; as Costin is, treats only a select group of six patients at a time, monitoring at all times their behavior. The staff assigns eating buddies to ensure proper eating habits and schedules frequent group sessions to encourage patients to discuss their feelings as they work to regain a healthy self-identity.
Costin has been a specialist in the field of eating disorders since 1979. In addition to operating her intensive retreat in Malibu, Costin operates the Eating Disorder Center of California.
Aside from treating patients, Costin speaks on the topic of eating disorders throughout the United States and appears on radio and television. Her most recent books are The Eating Disorder Source Book: A Comprehensive Guide to the Causes, Treatments, and Prevention of Eating Disorders (1996), and Your Dieting Daughter... Is She Starving for Attention? (1996), both of which are currently available in bookstores. Costin is coauthor of Anorexia and Bulimia: A Nutritional Approach to the Deadly Eating Disorder (1997), a small monograph on nutritional aspects of treatment, and author of the body-image chapter in Sexual Abuse and Eating Disorders (1996) edited by Mark Schwartz and Leigh Cohn.
Costin will be discussing the extent of these diseases in the student population of America's colleges and universities, the keys to recognizing these diseases, and her work in educating those who are at risk, and treating those who struggle with anorexia and bulimia. This lecture is sponsored in conjunction with the Monsour Counseling Center of The Claremont Colleges.
The Challenge of Leadership in the Public Sector
With a reputation for candor and independence, Gloria Molina is best known for her strong, issue-oriented style and her commitment to community empowerment. Noted for her tenacious, effective leadership in the fight against siting a prison in East Los Angeles, Molina has a legislative history of standing up for the average citizen against insurmountable odds. She has been listed in several magazines, including Time and Working Woman, as a "rising star" and "someone to watch."
Molina was first elected to office in 1982 as State Assemblywoman for the 56th District, where she introduced bills aimed at protecting consumers from unfair bank charges, insurance redlining, and utility company rip-offs, as well as legislation that protected tuition-free community colleges and the safety of children. In 1987 she was elected to the Los Angeles City Council where she served as the Councilwoman for the First District until 1991. On the Council she initiated new forms of city development, new laws to protect citizens from toxins, an after-school child care program, and a sewer lifeline rate for senior citizens. In February 1991 she was elected to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, representing the First Supervisorial District. Since that election, Molina has earned a reputation as a "watchdog" for taxpayer dollars. She is the first Latina to be elected to the California State Legislature, the Los Angeles City Council, and the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors.
Ms. Molina has also been a leader in the areas of crimefighting and public safety. She has, among many other initiatives, organized over 40 neighborhood watch organizations in the District and instituted a tough, nationally- recognized curfew enforcement program. She serves as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee and has received an appointment by President Clinton to the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Affairs and an appointment by the United States Trade Representative to the Intergovernmental Policy Advisory Committee.
Repression and Resistance in Latin America
Pablo Pozzi is truly a world scholar. Having studied and taught in the United States, Mexico, Spain, and Argentina (which he calls home), Pozzi brings a unique perspective to the history and challenges of the Americas. Pozzi received a B.A. from Wesleyan University and a Ph.D. in history from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Much of his scholarship has focused on guerrilla and labor resistance movements. In his Athenaeum talk he will discuss the use of repression, common to Latin American governments in the past several decades, and the many forms of social, physical, and political resistance. He will address the question of what the resistance movements have accomplished. He will also talk about the current political situation and explore the prospects for a democratic future.
Pozzi teaches at the University of Buenos Aires and serves as Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs at the University of Palermo. He also coordinates the academic component of American University's Buenos Aires Semester Program. He has authored several books, including Crisis y Recomposicion de la Clase Obrera Argentina (1982-1993) [Crisis and Recomposition of the Argentine Working Class (1982-1993) (1994)], La Oposicion Obrera a la Dictadura (1976-1982) [Labor Opposition to Dictatorship (1976-1982) (1988)], and Social Conflict and Crisis in the United States (1945-1993) (1994).
Conversation with the Writer and Director of Bronte: Bringing the Classics to Life in Film
William Luce is probably best known for his plays and especially for the one-man/woman shows that he writes. The most famous of these, The Belle of Amherst (1976), about Emily Dickinson, has won many awards including a Tony for Best Actress to Julie Harris. He recently collaborated with director Delbert Mann to produce Bronte (1989), a one-woman show about the novelist Charlotte Bronte. The show exemplifies some of the recurring problems in filmmaking including adapting stage productions to film. This traditional problem becomes further complicated when the stage show only includes one character. Mann had previously directed a production of Jane Eyre (1970) for television.
Delbert Mann's many film awards include an Academy Award for the direction of Marty (1954) (which also received an Academy Award for Best Picture) and three Emmy nominations for Our Town (1955), Breaking Up (1977), and All Quiet on the Western Front (1979). His All Quiet on the Western Front won a Golden Globe for the Best Film for Television. Additionally, he has won five Directors Guild nominations and has directed more than 100 live television shows. Both David Niven and Wendy Hiller won Academy Awards for his film Separate Tables (1958). His television specials include Jane Eyre (1970), All Quiet on the Western Front (1979), All the Way Home (1981), Bronte (1989), and The Last Days of Patton (1986), the latter two with William Luce.
William Luce's new Broadway hit Barrymore (1997) stars Christopher Plummer as the legendary John Barrymore. Plummer won the 1997 Tony Award for Best Actor in the role. Luce's first Broadway and London hit was The Belle of Amherst. Luce's Broadway play Lucifer's Child (1993) reunited him with Harris in a drama about Isak Dinesen. Harris received a Tony nomination as Best Actress for this performance. Luce was a Writers Guild Award nominee for two CBS movies: The Last Days of Patton (1986), starring George C. Scott and Eva Marie Saint, directed by Delbert Mann; and the Emmy-nominated The Woman He Loved (1988). Luce's new play Nijinsky, directed by John Tillinger, will premier at Parco in 1998.
CMC literature professor Michael Riley, author of Conversations with Ann Rice (1996), will moderate the discussion. There will be a screening of Bronte on Monday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. in Mary Pickford Auditorium to which everyone is cordially invited.
Recovered Memory: The Freud Connection
In 1993 Frederick Crews wrote an acid review of some recent books on Sigmund Freud that set off a furious national debate on the value of Freud's work and led to Time magazine's cover asking "Is Freud Dead?" "The Unknown Freud" drew attention not only to what Crews sees as Freud's intellectual bankruptcy but to his personal dishonesty, as well. Readers of The New York Review of Books, where it was published, were enthralled for months by the seemingly endless string of angry and argumentative replies by Freud's defenders, all met with cool agility by Crews. Not long afterward Crews repeated the performance with an attack on the recovered memory movement, and the two essays, along with the many responses they generated, were published together as The Memory Wars: Freud's Legacy in Dispute (1995).
For four decades Frederick Crews has been one of the most prominent critics on the American literary scene. He is the author of eleven books, has edited six collections of essays, and his reviews have appeared in virtually every major literary journal. His bestselling book The Pooh Perplex: A Freshman Casebook (1965) is still the reigning satire of academic literary criticism. An intense engagement with Freud has been the central motif of his career and he remains the most trenchant and visible opponent of the views about memory and the human mind that were presented to us by Freud.
Frederick Crews is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley.
Corporate Environmental Ethics
As a self-described knee-jerk liberal, Gerald Secundy has spent the majority of his career working for one of the world's largest oil companies. While many would suppose that a liberal environmentalist would be uncomfortable with such employment, Secundy saw his move from an environmental lawyer for the Justice Department to an environmental lawyer for the Atlantic Richfield Company as a great opportunity. He saw this move as a chance to work from the inside, to bring change to a corporation and industry that had just begun to confront the environmental movement.
Over his years at Los Angeles-based ARCO, Secundy served in a number of positions. He has been Manager of Investor Relations, Manager of Long Range Planning, and Assistant Treasurer of Atlantic Richfield Company. In 1994 he was appointed Vice President, External Affairs and Environmental Health & Safety for ARCO Products Company. At the end of this past year, Secundy retired from ARCO.
After his graduation from Phillips Academy (Andover), Harvard College, and Columbia Law School, Secundy began a lifelong commitment to giving back to society, starting with service in the Peace Corps as director of a youth center in Cusco, Peru. During his career at ARCO Secundy actively sought to promote dialogue between environmentalists and corporations, including membership on the board of directors for the California Council for the Environmental & Economic Balance (CCEEB).
Gerald Secundy is the second speaker in the Athenaeum series Corporate Environmental Leadership sponsored by the Roberts Environmental Center.
Application forms for the position of Athenaeum Fellow for the 1998-99 academic year will be available in the Athenaeum office on Monday, March 9. Completed applications must be returned by Friday, March 27 at 5:00 p.m.
Students desiring to be considered for the following year (1999-00) but who will be away from campus during the next year's selection process may submit their application now in order to be considered for the future position.
