Tree works application
This page provides information about trees and tree protection, with forms to download to make a tree works application.
The Local Planning Authority is responsible for the legal controls involved in the management of trees that are formally protected by Tree Preservation Orders, Conservation Areas and trees protected by Planning Conditions throughout the Borough.
Legislation provides formal protection to trees located on private land within the Borough. This protection can take the form of Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) which can provide protection to individual trees, groups, areas of trees and woodlands. Trees located within Conservation areas and trees protected by planning conditions
Trees that are subject to formal protection will require formal application to and consent from the Local Planning Authority before any pruning or felling works are undertaken.
Some pruning and felling works are considered exempt from the legislation, these works should be checked and agreed by the Council's Tree Officer prior to being undertaken.
But these works will normally only involve the felling of dead trees and the removal of deadwood from living trees. The onus is placed upon the tree owner or the tree contractor to prove that the works to protected trees are exempt.
Notification of intent to undertake tree works in a Conservation Area
All trees in conservation areas over 75mm in diameter measured at 1.5m from ground level are subject to formal protection and a notification to the Local Planning Authority is required.
The notification period is six weeks and the applicant should not undertake any tree works within this period.
If at the end of the six week notification period the Local Authority have decided not to serve a Tree Preservation Order, tree works may proceed.

The Council would encourage the use of reputable tree surgery contractors to assist in the preparation and submission of tree work applications. Guidance on the use of tree surgery contractors can be obtained from the
Appeals against the Council's decision on tree works applications
If you are aggrieved at a decision taken by the Council, or any of the conditions imposed or certification of the decision by this Council, you may appeal to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Such an appeal should be in writing within twenty-eight days of the receipt of this decision notice, or such longer period as the Secretary of State may allow.

Tree preservation orders
The Council receives requests from the public to serve preservation orders on trees that are generally felt to be under threat of removal.
Request details should be made in writing to the Tree Officer and should provide information on the tree its species, location and the reason that the tree is considered to merit formal protection.
The council will acknowledge the request in writing and will assess the tree. Not all trees all trees will meet the strict criteria for formal protection and a Tree Preservation Order cannot simply be used to prevent development.
Once the assessment has been undertaken a priority will be given to the service of the order and this is often based on the potential threat to the tree. Legal service of an order is followed by a 28 day objection period. In this period any of the persons served with the order, with a legal interest, has the right to object to the order.
If no objections are received the order is legally confirmed.
If the order is opposed a report is prepared to address the objections raised this matter is dealt with by the Head of Building and Development Services and/or the Development Quality Manager. Authorisation is sought to either confirm the order, confirm subject to modification, or decide not to confirm the order, subject to modification having taken into account any valid reasons of objection.
For a guide to the law and best practice on Tree Preservation Orders, information can be obtained from the Local Authority's Tree Officers or see Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas (external link).
The Council strongly recommends that before any tree works be undertaken the tree owner and contractor should check with the Local Authority's Help Line to ascertain whether the tree is subject to formal protection.
If you require any information, guidance or advice about tree pruning and management, please contact the Council.
Tree preservation order request form
Advice for private tree owners
- always contact the Local Authority to ensure that the trees are not protected by a Tree Protection Order, planning constraints, that they are not protected because within a Conservation Area, or that Planning Conditions do not apply.
- always employ a suitable trained professional Tree Surgeon (Arborists), who should be fully covered by the necessary insurance, including Employers and Public Liability Insurance. (Please request proof of cover).
- never employ house callers or leaflet droppers claiming to be professional tree surgeons.
- reputable Tree Surgeons (Arborists) will always have some form of professional identification and qualification proof. Always ask to see it.
Reputable Tree Surgeons can be found in the Directory of Registered Consultants and Approved Contractors produced by The Arboricultural Association who can be contacted
Unauthorised works to formally protected trees can result in legal action being taken against the owner by the Local Authority, leading to a criminal prosecution. The maximum penalty for carrying out works to TPO trees without consent is £20,000.

Five players to watch in 2013
Sarah Weiser / The Herald
Snohomish's Juan Machuca (center) tries to dribble through Lake Stevens' players Tanner Sellars, 10, left, Jonathan Perry, 16, right, during a game last season.
**FOR THE HERALD/JEFF FADDIS** Mountlake Terrace M/D Chris Mitalas takes control of the ball during the first half against Shorewood high school at Shoreline Stadium in Shoreline Friday night.
Snohomish, F, Sr.
Coach Dan Pingrey isn't shy when talking about one of his captains. "Juan Machuca is someone to really watch. He's an extremely talented player," Pingrey said.
Last year Machuca was one of the few non-seniors honored with a Wesco 4A first-team award. The year before he was one of the Panthers' leading scorers, a year removed from being a starter on a very good Glacier Peak team at the 3A level as a freshman before he moved. His experience will be a big part of whether the Panthers return to the state tournament again in 2013.
"He's primed for a big year," Pingrey said. "Looking at getting in (at a) community college. He has the talent to play at a higher level. He will have a big impact on the league this year."
Brendan Aune
Arlington, MF, Jr.
Aune comes from a soccer family. His father played soccer at the University of Washington and has been a coach himself an his brother, Nathan, was selected to play for the Crossfire Academy and thus can't participate for the Eagles this year. But Arlington coach Mike Gudgeon is very thankful to have Brendan leading the way for his team.
"He's just a kid that we can plug in anywhere," Gudgeon said. "As a sophomore he played defense for us. I've plugged him in as a center-mid. Even on occasion put him up as a forward.
"He's just one of those great utility players that is able and willing to do whatever the team needs him to do. That's also what makes him a great team captain. He leads by example and will do what we need him to do."
If Arlington is able to break into the top three in Wesco North and advance to the district playoffs it will likely be largely thanks to Aune.
Jon Erickson
Lake Stevens, MF, Sr.
It's hard to pick one player to watch from the Lake Stevens boys because they play as a unit as much as any local team. Coach Kit Shanholtzer has continued with the Vikings system that has been in place for a decade and propelled the team to success, including a surprise trip to the 4A state quarterfinals last season. Erickson is a big part of that system.
"John Erickson is going to command the middle," Shanholtzer said of one of the Vikings' 13 seniors.
But don't be surprised at the end of the season if Erickson doesn't stand out from Ahin Ali, Blake Sanders or Marcus Edward, who all will make an impact for the team that doesn't feature an underclassmen.
"We have an offensive and defensive system of play that is very inconsistent with other soccer programs,"Shanholtzer said. "It's something that we developed over the last 10 years. The systems approach helps players of all levels, I think, play together."
Jalen Crisler
Archbishop Murphy, MF, Sr.
A third of the way into the season a year ago, Crisler was the leading scorer on a very good Wildcat team before he rolled his ankle and missed most of the remainder of the season. He is the older brother of one of the best local girls players, Calisse Crisler, who also plays for the Wildcats. Both are attracting attention from college programs according to their mutual high school coach Mike Bartley. Jalen is one of the Wildcats senior captains and is poised to make a serious impact this season.
"There's big things he's trying to do because he felt like he missed a lot last year," Bartley said. "He didn't get the recognition. He's a tall, strong kid. He can play center back and he can play forward…he's almost 6'5" and great in the air" Both Jalen and Calisse can score but Bartley says as that Jalen separates himself by his strength on defense.
Chris Mitalas
Mountlake Terrace, MF, Sr.
The Wesco 3A south league has been brutally competitive recently with Glacier Peak, Shorewood and Shorecrest all taking turns dominating during recent seasons. Hope for a new team breaking that grip among the top may come from Mitalas. The son of a high school soccer coach, Mitalas will be a big reason why the Hawks succeed this year.
"The game will be going through him," Terrace coach Gary Hunter said. "His biggest strength is his knowledge of the game and his technical passing skills. He has excellent technical passing ability."
Last year was Hunter and his staff's first year with the Hawks and though they experienced some growing pains are ready to challenge in year number two. "Wesco South is tough," Hunter said. "So we are just going to try and get in the middle of it and see where we'll be by the end of the season. It's a difficult and challenging conference to be in but the kids are optimistic."

Sounds like a great idea! I'll try to contribute after I get a small collection started.
Offering samples and bottles for free will be allowed here. Let's see if we can do this without asking for sample shipping costs. If someone offers samples and then later receives some, the costs should be a wash. Shipping samples in a small sandwich type baggie and then placing them in a bubble wrap envelope should cost no more than $2.00 U.S. Bottle shipping requests must be for typical shipping costs. Even though the bottles are free please pack them carefully! This should be a fun and conflict free experience. Please do not ask for more than one freebie per month. We do not want "freebie hogs" to ruin the experience for everyone else. Requests are not allowed here, as doing so would be outside the marketplace rules and allowing it would lead to requests from those who do not meet marketplace requirements. Please state to whom you have sent samples. Some reply by PM so no one knows who got them. We want to be able to see if anyone is "hogging" the sample giveaway. Regarding shipping out of one's country- Although some have no problem with this, it is certainly not an obligation. Some must wait on line at an actual post office to do so as opposed to being able to ship domestically from an annex. So let's not disparage those who state CONUS or EU ONLY, for example.
All responses to giveaways should be public so there is no question as to who was first. It may be wise to first post publicly and then follow with a PM with one's address.

Men only to participate on this thread I am going to guess?
Great idea, I'll be happy to offer samples from my small wardrobe for UK users - but before that I'll need to see what empty sample bottles I have so I can say what I can offer. Free postage is fine - it should only cost about 60p ($1) in the UK.
Is it OK to say something like "I can offer 10 assorted samples from my wardrobe - pick one you want and ask me"? or is that too close to the market place prohibition? (As an alternative, would it be better, say, to list something specific and say "I'm offering the following specific samples..."?)
- - - Updated - - -
I would think anyone could participate.
Just as the thread on the female forum leans toward offering fragrances marketed to women (but men who wish to try them are welcome to accept the offers), I would think this thread will be geared toward masculines-- but if women wish to try them, why not?
I think most of us here on BN are not so very rigid about gender categorization of fragrances anyway.
For that matter, if I have leftover men's samples to offer (from my husband's stash), I'll offer them here instead of on the thread on the female forum.

Erm, could somebody please point me towards the regulations re. market place prohibition?
Marketplace rules:
My husband and I just had a good scrounge. In the interest of de-cluttering, we offer these used samples for free.
USA only.
Please choose either batch 1 or batch 2.
I'll look at your wardrobe "to test list", and if I own a perfume that you have on your wardrobe test list, I'll decant a bit to add to the package (as long as I have enough to share.)
Batch 1: CLAIMED by Octavarium/mailed 10/9
Penhaligon's Castile, carded vial sample, nearly full, 1.5 ml
Nordstrom decanted spray samples of Pure Malt, about 2 mls total
Nordstrom Declaration Cologne edt spray sample, about 1.5-2 mls
Batch 2: Claimed (Turtle Vetiver to morrison74, others to personageguy/mailed 10/9
CB I Hate Perfume Old Leather #276 water perfume, decanted spray sample, about .7 ml spray
Hermessence Paprika Brasil, decanted spray sample, about .7 ml remaining
Turtle Vetiver Front glass spray decant, estimate 1 ml remaining
Last edited by 30 Roses; 16th January 2013 at 02:55 AM. Reason: added names
I can send you batch 1 with Pure Malt and the other samples; you don't have any fragrances listed in your wardrobe so there is no test list for me to look at....
Please PM me your name and address and I'll mail it tomorrow.

To the Moderator,
Is it just samples or can it be bottles as well?
I have a ton of samples I don't want...as soon as I figure out all these rules and can/can't do things, I'll list them.
For Sale: VINTAGE Montales
Just subscribing to the thread ....
Not so complicated, really...list it for free and you're good. On the ladies thread we give away bottles too.
As stuigi pointed out, sooner or later when you accept someone else's offer, the free shipping comes back to benefit you.

1. Ladies are of course welcome
2. NO bottles
3. NO requests as stated- that is reserved for the marketplace board with requirements
4. Offering 10 samples but allowing one per person is one's prerogative (obviously more shipping costs)
Enforcement of the marketplace rules and requirements has succeeded(with few exceptions as compared to the early years of Basenotes) in protecting members from losing large amounts of money in bottle sales or swaps.
Free bottle offers here could easily turn into swap offers. It sets a precedent for doing so outside the marketplace swap board. This is the way the marketplace was set up and there is no reason to change it. PM me if you wish to discuss it further.
I will discuss this with the other mods. I have some serious concerns about this. Stay tuned.
This is all going to end in tears, I tell ya.
Looking for: Vento Canale, da Gianni Campagna.
We girls never have a problem giving away. It's the requesting part that seems to be the turning point. Just offer and then a taker arrives happily. I think it must be if there is any possibility of someone getting unhappy over something wonderfully nice. Swaps are two way and giving is one way only.
Sorry, I just assumed about the bottles, since we ladies have done it on our thread for some time now without any problem.
But guys, the reason it has worked on the ladies' forum is precisely because it is a free gift with no strings attached, no expectation of compensation.
That sort of generosity is the engine that drives our thread; it creates good will and more generosity. Once you start expecting something in return, it's dead. Just saying!
Edit: mumsy and I think alike!

ok- Please see the thread title name change and revised rules in the first post! We will allow free samples and bottles to be given away on the men's board on a trial basis. The thread will be carefully watched. Once again, no requests please.
How do I distinguish between a sample and a decant? Can I give away decants?
And what if I don't like the person who has requested my samples? Can I wait for someone else to come along?
Can I trade sex for samples?
Whenever generosity of time and fragrance are concerned, heavy regulation must be defined and enforced. Otherwise who knows what chaos will ensue? Next thing you know, I might even split more than one bottle at a time!
Good grief, Brian!
BTW your avatar is a scream!

I think we all give away stuff behind the scenes, Brian. The other ladies and I do for sure and no doubt many of you men do as well.
I think what the mods are trying to avoid is a situation where a gesture intended to create community and goodwill becomes something else, something that makes people upset with each other.
If everyone minds their manners it can work.

Having observed the general interaction of Basenotes members for many years, it is quite obvious that the guys behavior leaves much to be desired as compared to the ladies, particularly where sales and swaps are concerned. As there are 5+ times as many male threads as there are from the ladies and 3-4 times as many male posts, the number of male caused marketplace type issues is far greater than those proportions. Maybe 100 to 1 or more. So yes, it will be watched and yes, decants may be given away.
PS- this is not an open forum for outing bad swappers or any other topic as several such posts were just deleted.

Come on show a bit of initiative.
It should be quite clear that trading sex for samples is perfectly acceptable within the regulations of the thread. (As long as it is only man on man sex. If women want to jump on the bandwagon the thread will have to be moved from Male Fragrance Discussion and you can imagine how complicated that could get.
I am glad this finally got set up. I have asked several times for this, and it always got shot down. STUIGI- You did a great job of walking the tightrope and figuring this out...Thanks. Sometimes if I happen to see a frag. that I have, listed in someone's "to test" or "want" list in their wardrobe, I P.M. them and offer a free sample, so keep your lists up to date!!!

Technically the USPS says perfumes can only go by ground, and some BNers stick to that. I will send bubble mailers with samples by air, as our local P.O. seems to be okay with it, but I have even received samples shipped by ground from some members.
Brenster: Sent you a PM. This is a great idea!! Glad this is up and running. I'll definitely have some samples to pass along.

Also sent a PM, hopefully the ones I want are still available.
As an example of the ridiculous shipping rules, my husband today attempted to order 2 lightbulbs online, that weren't in Lowes or Home Depot, the cost of the bulbs was 12 dollars: shipping was quoted at 108.50, or 195.84 for next day delivery. Needless to say, we'll stay "in the dark"
Sorry to go off on a shipping rant tangent, but there I am claiming shipping doesn't cost any more to send here, when retailers target us mercilessly. I do apologise.

Maybe this is a weird question, but what's the honorable thing to do feedback-wise? Are those who claim a freebie expected to leave positive "seller" feedback to the BNer who offered and shipped the frag? Or do we just leave it alone since it's a freebie?

FEHBP modernization plan receives cautious optimism from Hill
Thursday - 4/11/2013, 7:54pm EDT
Lawmakers are far from satisfied with the White House's proposals to change the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee members Thursday wanted more details and data from the Office of Personnel Management before committing to any of the ideas.
Still, committee members expressed the belief that the 50-year-old law creating the FEHBP is in need of a major update.
"The proposal itself is inherently good. Let's open up the process, let's recognize that artificial, historic definitions need to be gone," said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the full committee, during a hearing of the subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, Postal Service and the Census. "I do believe, although I'm willing to support a law change that would create a regional opportunity and certainly a law change that would create a greater opportunity for nationals [insurance companies] to come in, I believe, as you go back today with your proposals from us, are you willing to go through a process that says, 'You can only do any of these if there is a finding scored by CBO or found by GAO to be an actual savings?'"
Issa said he's concerned about false estimates by OPM and that the changes could actually cost the government more in the long-run.
As part of the fiscal 2014 budget request sent to Congress Wednesday, the administration offered up three major changes.
The administration wants to:
- Open the plan up to regional insurers instead of just national ones;
- Give OPM the ability to negotiate prescription drug prices through Pharmacy Benefit Managers to take advantage of the bulk buying;
- Offer domestic partner coverage, called the self-plus-one option;
- Let employees who are healthier pay lower premiums.
Jonathan Foley, the director of planning and policy analysis for OPM, said the law creating the FEHBP in 1959 has not kept pace with the times.
"Missing from the current mix are regional plans that are widely available in the commercial market," he said. "If these regional plans were available, FEHBP enrollees would benefit from having greater choices that represent best practices in the private sector, and more closely resemble product combinations to private employees in state and local governments."
Foley said he wouldn't open the program up nor contract with every regional carrier. The proposed update just gives them the option if the agency determines it's in the best interest of the government, the employees and the retirees.
Foley said OPM estimates that, for example, changes to the prescription drug program could save $1.6 billion over 10 years, and the self-plus-one option would save another $5.2 billion over the next decade.
Trust, but verify
But Issa was not satisfied with those estimates alone. He said history has shown that trusting the word of the agency or administration that there are savings isn't good enough.
He said he would like to see a pilot program demonstrating how the regional preferred provider organizations (PPOs) or self-plus-one or prescription drug changes would work first.
Issa also said he would like to see an independent review from a third party in terms of how much money the government would save.
Other committee members wanted more clarification from OPM on how these proposals would work.
Del. Eleanor Holmes-Norton (D-D.C.) said she's concerned that OPM is heading into two different directions with these proposals.
Under the prescription drug plan, OPM is trying to take advantage of their large number of members to get better prices. But with the self-plus-one option and the regional PPOs option, it seems as if the agency is losing the value of having a large pool of customers.
Foley said OPM is not creating regional pools, but regional carriers whose prices would be based on the entire federal membership. He said, for example, if a regional carrier just wanted to work in Oregon and Washington states, OPM could require they also offer services in Alaska to ensure carriers are not "cherry-picking" only high premium or low-cost states.
Blue Cross-Blue Shield and the American Federation of Government Employees also questioned the administration's proposals.
Support from insurance companies mixed
Blue Cross-Blue Shield didn't support the regional PPOs or prescription drug ideas.
William Breskin, the vice president of government programs for the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, said OPM has underestimated the costs of the program and the regional PPOs. He said federal employees and the government would end up paying more — as much as $5.7 billion over 10 years.

Making of the Fittest
Geneticist Sean Carroll is "the new, user-friendly public face of evolutionary science" according to U.S. News & World Report. Further, he is described as the perfect speaker for university and science-oriented groups interested in the mysteries of life on Earth.
A passionate defender of Darwin, Carroll is the acknowledged leader of the exciting new biological field known as Evo Devo (evolutionary developmental biology). His groundbreaking book, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, was published in 2005 to rave reviews in scientific and mainstream publications. His new book, The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution (2006), promises to extend his growing reputation.
In Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science Of Evo Devo, Carroll presents a thrilling view of the history of life that vehemently argues for both the truth and beauty of evolution. In updating Darwin's work with recent discoveries in genetics - for example, that a small number of primitive genes led to the creation of fundamental organs and appendages in all animal forms - Carroll issues a forceful rebuttal to "Intelligent Design" theorists and other detractors.
Asked if he planned to end the creationism/evolution debate for all time, Carroll laughed and responded, "I'm not a marketer," he said. But he added: "For the scientific community the debate has been over a long time."
Sean Carroll's lecture at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the David E. French Lectureship Fund.
A Concert in Commemoration of Robert Schumann (1810–1856)
HAO HUANG, piano
RACHEL VETTER HUANG, violin
CHARLES KAMM, tenor
GAYLE BLANKENBURG, piano
Vastly undervalued in his own time and perhaps even in the present, Robert Schumann is truly one of the most remarkable Romantic composers of the first half of the nineteenth century. A German author and pianist born in 1810, he created some of the most introspective and individually expressive music of all time. Schumann founded a music journal, Neue Zeitschrift für Musik; he was a brilliant critic, whose writings embody the most progressive aspects of musical thinking of his time. His music is beloved by generations of pianists, who find exuberant joy and utter poignancy in his compositions. Furthermore, as a pianist composer, Schumann made the piano a full partner with singers in his lieder, often giving it an independent emotional life. The Athenaeum is graced by the presence of four internationally acclaimed musicians from The Claremont Colleges who are giving their Schumann concert at the Athenaeum in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of his passing in Endenich, 1856, in a program that spans the gamut from the composer's early to late works. This concert is jointly sponsored by the Athenaeum and the Gould Center.

A Reading
An intense and joyful observer of the natural world, Mary Oliver is often compared to Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau. Her poems are filled with imagery from her daily walks near her home in Massachusetts: shore birds, water snakes, mushrooms, and "the black honey of summer." A native of Maple Heights, Ohio, Mary Oliver was the daughter of a schoolteacher, yet she never finished her higher education, choosing instead to focus upon her poetic sensibilities. She soon superseded her artistic hero, New York poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, and received a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for her collection, American Primitive.
Mary Oliver has published over fifteen works of both poetry and prose, and continues to be cherished for her talent. Her honors include an American Academy of Arts & Letters Award, a Lannan Literary Award, the Poetry Society of America's Shelley Memorial Prize and Alice Fay di Castagnola Award, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Mary Oliver was the Catharine Osgood Foster Chair for Distinguished Teaching at Bennington College, and lives in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and Bennington, Vermont.
U.K. Foreign Policy: At the Crossroads of International Affairs
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
What's the value of the United Kingdom to the United States now that it is no longer used as an unsinkable aircraft carrier? There are close ties between the U.K. and the U.S. in foreign affairs, but it has not always been a two-way street. David Wild, British Deputy Consul General in Los Angeles, will discuss various aspects of Britain's foreign policy.
As a member of the European Union, the United Kingdom works on EU-wide legislation, contributes substantially to EU budget, and receives back funding through national and regional projects.
A member of the United Nations Security Council, the United Kingdom is working and lobbying with other countries to bring in UN resolutions, such as the Arms Trade Treaty. In issues such as Iraq and sanctions against North Korea, the U.K. lines up solidly alongside the U.S. and other key partners to present a consistent line, but U.K.-U.S. relations are not always harmonious. There is serious domestic opposition to the British engagement in Iraq.
David Wild has recently been posted to Britain's Consulate-General in Los Angeles from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in London. He has spent the last few years working on two of the FCO's biggest IT projects as the FCO struggles to bring itself up to date with increasing emphasis on flexibility–in diplomatic representation abroad, in size of missions overseas–in a climate of reduced budgets but increased call for effective, measurable results–adding value to Britain's political work, its economy and culture.
Wild's luncheon address is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College.
Motherhood, Not Marriage
Urban poverty, social welfare, public housing, child support, and nonmarital childbearing are all subjects crucial to Dr. Kathryn Edin's sociological studies. As part of her research into these issues, Edin recently directed a national survey that followed seventy-five couples identified in the hospital while giving birth. This program, "Fragile Families and the Child Wellbeing Study," examined attitudes toward marriage and childbearing among low-income single women and couples, and monitored these participants for an average of four years. Through her research, Edin made several interesting discoveries including the changing definition and perception of marriage in America, regardless of income level.
Kathryn Edin is an associate professor of sociology and a research associate at the Population Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Mirroring her focus upon single parenthood in the marginalized classes of America, she has published three books: There's a Lot of Month Left at the End of the Money: How Low Income Single Mothers Make Ends Meet in Chicago (1993), Making Ends Meet: How Low Income Single Mothers Survive Welfare and Low Wage Work (1997), and Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood Before Marriage (2005). She is currently writing a fourth book, this time centering on the role of men in these relationships. Edin received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University in 1991, and has taught at both Rutgers and Northwestern University.
Edin's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children.
Work, Leisure, and The Good Life
As author, teacher, and consultant for business and government agencies in the United States and abroad, Joanne Ciulla, the Coston Family Chair in Leadership and Ethics at the Jepson School for Leadership Studies (University of Richmond), has always been creative in the ways she incorporates and synthesizes traditional academic disciplines in her studies of all manner of subjects. For example, of Professor Ciulla's The Working Life: The Promise and Betrayal of Modern Work (2000), Katharine Whittmore wrote in The American Prospect, "Unlike the vast leach field of management books out there, so cloying and homiletic, … The Working Life [is] more likely to quote Aristotle than it is Lee Iacocca, more likely to cite Daniel Defoe than it is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (2004)."
Dr. Ciulla traces no more conventional a route in her exploration of the dynamic and often challenging relationships that have long existed between artists and leaders. "[F]rom the Renaissance to the present day," Ciulla writes, "artists have given us vivid impressions of leaders who have influenced their lives and thus the work they created. … [B]y understanding these complex relationships, we may deepen our insights into the contexts that shaped leaders, artists, and the cultural period in which they functioned." To this end, Ciulla visits such subjects as ecclesiastical, royal, and aristocratic patronage; totalitarian directives and propaganda; and artistic responses to moral outrages and political, social, and other ideological revolution.
Professor Ciulla has lectured all over the world on a vast array of subjects. She has presented at The World Economic Forum, the Brookings Institution, and the Aspen Institute, and has held academic appointments at the Harvard Business School, the Wharton School, and Oxford University. She has also appeared on numerous television programs, including CNN's "In the Money" and Bill Moyers' "World of Ideas II." Professor Ciulla's Athenaeum lecture is the second in the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies' series, Labor and Leisure in Western Culture.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti Reads from his Work
A prominent voice of the wide-open poetry movement that began in the 1950s, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has written poetry, translation, fiction, theater, art criticism, film narration, and essays. Often concerned with politics and social issues, Ferlinghetti's poetry countered the literary elite's definition of art and the artist's role in the world. Though imbued with the commonplace, his poetry cannot be simply described as polemic or personal protest, for it stands on his craftsmanship, thematics, and grounding in tradition.
Ferlinghetti's best-known collection of poetry is A Coney Island of the Mind (1958), and has been translated into nine languages. His book store, The City Lights Bookstore, became a mecca for writers and artists, many of them well established in the field of contemporary literature. City Lights Publishers began with the Pocket Poets Series, through which Ferlinghetti aimed to create an international, dissident ferment. His publication of Allen Ginsberg's Howl in 1956 led to his arrest on obscenity charges, and the trial that followed drew national attention to the San Francisco Renaissance and Beat movement writers. Ferlinghetti was named Poet Laureate of San Francisco in 1998.
In addition to writing and publishing poetry and running his bookstore, Ferlinghetti continues to paint and his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums. Lawrence Ferlinghetti is one of the distinguished speakers featured in the Athenaeum series in celebration of CMC's 60th anniversary recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to American Society.
A Changing Germany in a Changing World
MONDAY, OCTOBER 30th, 2006
LUNCH 11:45 a.m., LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
In 1990, Germany celebrated its reunification. Sixteen years later, is there really one unified Germany, or can one still see traces of the former division of the country? How has the reunification affected Germany's foreign and security policy, especially in regard to the European Union and NATO? What does the unified Germany do to foster the sometimes strained Transatlantic relations? If we live in a globalizing world, what will be the role of Germany?
Dr. Christian Stocks, German Consul General in Los Angeles, will address the above questions in his luncheon lecture. Stocks studied political science, history, art history and law at the Universities of Kiel and Heidelberg in Germany and at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris. He also studied at the Universities of Harvard, Essex, and Michigan and received his Ph.D. in 1976 from the University of Kiel. In 1977, he joined the German Foreign Service and has served in several countries, including Spain, India, and Britain. In 1991, he was asked to serve as Foreign Policy Advisor to the CDU/CSU parliamentary group of the German Bundestag. He took up the posting as Consul General of Los Angeles in July 2005.
Christian Stocks' luncheon lecture is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
The Fantastic World of Gulnaz: Education and Modernity in India
Even those unfamiliar with Indian history know from the media that Indians are currently making global waves with their competency in multiple disciplines of technical skills as well as proficiency in foreign languages. Along with many of her fellow historians, Nita Kumar has been studying this change for the past two decades. As a historian who focuses primarily on education and modernity, she is fascinated by the cultural revolution that seems to have taken place. Education in India has historically been a powerful resource for manipulating success and creating identity. It also remains partly a fantasy, as the case of Gulnaz, one of India's youngest citizens, will illustrate. Professor Kumar will present her theories on the melange that is India's educational system.
A recent addition to CMC's faculty, Professor Kumar has published no less than six books, and has also contributed chapters to dozens of others. She has taught at several notable institutions, including Yale University, the University of Chicago, and the University of New Dehli. She received her Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago. Nita Kumar is the first Brown Family professor of South Asian History at CMC.
Economic Development in Today's World
During his tenure as the tenth prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak led the country out of prolonged recession and into an economic boom, with 5.9% annual growth, record foreign investments, near zero inflation, a halved deficit, and significantly decreased external debt.
However, the core of Prime Minister Ehud Barak's efforts were devoted to the peace process. In May 2000, Barak ordered the withdrawal of the Israeli Defense Forces from South Lebanon, ending 18 tragic and bloody years of Israel's presence there. He led far-reaching efforts to negotiate peace agreements, first with Syria and later with the Palestinian authority. His negotiations also included the active participation of President Bill Clinton's administration. Regrettably, these negotiations did not result in the breakthroughs necessary to conclude final agreements.
Before being elected Prime Minister, Ehud Barak completed an illustrious 36-year career in the Israeli Defense Forces as the most decorated soldier in Israeli history. For many years he led Israel's elite anti-terrorist unit, on one occasion successfully storming a hijacked airliner in Tel Aviv, and on another - disguised as a woman - leading a raid against the organization that murdered Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Mr. Barak additionally served his country as Minister of the Interior, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Defense Minister.
A true renaissance man, Prime Minister Barak presided over an unprecedented economic boom in Israel and is able to speak with command about the economic development issues facing nations today. Ehud Barak is the first Res Publica speaker of the 2006-2007 academic year.
Immigration's Impact on Society
One of the most complex and volatile issues atop America's political agenda is legal and illegal immigration. Along with addressing policy questions of "what to do about it?" is the need to carefully and critically assess the economic and sociological consequences of immigration in a rapidly changing, globalizing world. Many experts assure us that today's large-scale immigration is largely beneficial and that problems will work themselves out as they have in the past. But is it different this time?
Of particular concern is immigration's impact upon inequality and the changing occupational structure. Which forms of immigration (ranging from family reunification, to low-skilled workers, to technically advanced job candidates) provide the nation with new talent and growth? And how might immigration impact social services, fuel economic polarization, and reinforce trends towards a two-tiered society? Who benefits? Who is harmed?
As Executive Director for the Center of Immigration Studies, a non-profit research center in Washington, D.C., Mark Krikorian has studied these questions for more than a decade. As the author of numerous research reports, he has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Review, and elsewhere. He has been interviewed by numerous national television news shows and major newspapers. Krikorian holds a B.A. from Georgetown University and an M.A. from the Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He is the author of a forthcoming book on the impact of mass immigration in modern society.
Mark Krikorian's lecture is jointly sponsored by the Salvatori Center, the Rose Institute, and the Athenaeum, and is offered in conjunction with Professor Fred Lynch's course Inequality, Politics and Public Policy.
An Evening with the Author
Marjane Satrapi was born in 1969 in Rasht, on the edge of the Caspian Sea. Part Azerbaijani, part Turkmen, part Muslim, and part Zoroastrian, she grew up in the multicultural setting of Iran. In Tehran, she studied at the Lycée Français before leaving for Vienna and, later, Strasbourg to study decorative arts.
In 1994, she moved to Paris where she met Christophe Blain, who brought her into l'Atelier des Vosges, home to many of France's celebrated "new wave" of comic book artists. There, she regaled her fellow artists with amazing stories of her family — stories of dethroned emperors, suicidal uncles, state - sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution. After listening to her stories and seeing her drawings, they urged her to put her life in the pages of a comic book.
Persepolis tells the story of Marjane's growing up in Iran in the 1970s and 80s, of living through the Islamic Revolution and the war with Iraq. It is a book about childhood - a childhood at once outrageous and ordinary, beset by the unthinkable but buffered by an extraordinary and loving family. Persepolis was published in four volumes in France in 2000 and 2001, where it met with enormous critical acclaim, garnered comparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus, and won several prestigious comic book awards (Prix Alph'art Coup de Coeur at Angoulême 2001, Prix du Lion in Belgium, Prix Alph'art du meilleur scénario 2002, Prix France Info 2002). It has been translated into German, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian. Persepolis is published as two volumes in the United States. Her other books include Embroideries (2005) and Poulet Aux Prunes (2006).

Leo Strauss's Locke and the American Founding
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
No subject has stirred more controversy among "Straussians" than the chapter on John Locke in Natural Right and History (1953). It is a primary source for Leo Strauss's understanding of the foundations of modernity as "low but solid," and of the American Founding as quintessentially modern—and more low than solid. Allan Bloom, in the Closing of the American Mind (1987), blames the moral disintegration we see around us on the egalitarianism propelled into the regime by the Declaration of Independence. Walter Berns has written that the beginning of the Declaration and its end contradict each other. The "rights" of the beginning, he held, are wholly self-regarding, and could not justify the commitment to our "sacred honor." Locke is looked upon, in short, as Hobbes with false whiskers.
Harry V. Jaffa, the Henry Salvatori Research Professor of Political Philosophy Emeritus, takes up this challenge in a luncheon talk at the Athenaeum. Kicking off the Salvatori Center's seminar on Leo Strauss, Jaffa argues that the moral horizons of the American founding, and of Locke himself, were far higher from this well-known interpretation would suggest. In fact, Jaffa argues that if Aristotle had been alive and well in England in 1670, he would have written a handbook for legislators very much like Locke's Second Treatise of Government (1690). Thus, the elements of classical natural right were in the Founding, as Lincoln said they were. And they were in John Locke, which is where the Founders had found them.
Please join the Athenaeum and the Salvatori Center for this dazzling talk by one of CMC's greatest scholars and teachers.
Homeland Security and Counter Terrorism in the Los Angeles Area
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States and the anchor of Southern California's social, political and economic community. In the upcoming years, a number of factors impact the analysis of the likelihood of a terrorist attack, including United States' foreign policy, the building of a counter-terrorism infrastructure in Los Angeles and the commitment of the federal government to critical assets within California. In this lecture by Maurice M. Suh, former Deputy Mayor of Homeland Security and Public Safety for the City of Los Angeles, the following questions are examined. First, what is the assessment of risk to the greater Los Angeles area? Second, what has been done to keep Los Angeles safe? And most importantly, what are the emerging trends that counter-terrorism professionals in Los Angeles will focus upon to address the future challenges that the Los Angeles region faces?
Mr. Suh's lecture will examine the critical infrastructure sites within the City of Los Angeles. Mr. Suh will then discuss the improvements made to counter-intelligence, joint information sharing and regional coordination among the homeland security partners within the Los Angeles region. Lastly, Mr. Suh will explore the use of sophisticated technology to help expand the reach of counter-terrorism measures and the critical coordination that must occur between emergency preparedness and homeland security.
As the Deputy Mayor, Mr. Suh oversaw the policy of the Mayor's office as it applied to homeland security, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Emergency Preparedness Department. He was responsible for identifying and implementing public safety policy initiatives, ensuring appropriate funding for the execution of those policy initiatives and advising the Mayor with respect to public policy as it impacts public safety.
Suh appeared before numerous federal and state courts during pretrial, trial, and appellate proceedings, as well as commercial arbitration matters. Mr. Suh also served as a Deputy Chief of the Public Corruption and Government Fraud Section of the United States Attorney's Office in the Central District of California. On December 4, Mr. Suh will join Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP as a partner. He received both his B.A. and J.D. from Columbia University.
Mr. Suh's luncheon lecture is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

Back in June, the New Jersey Legislature overwhelmingly passed a bill to prohibit the slaughter, transport, and sale of horses for human consumption within the state. Unfortunately, Governor Chris Christie has not yet signed the bill into law, and it's not clear that he intends to.
With the clock ticking, several prominent New Jersey horse owners, equestrians and animal advocates, including Jessica Springsteen—daughter of Bruce—have sent a letter to Governor Chris Christie urging him to approve the horse slaughter ban. Christie is famously a huge Bruce Springsteen fan: Will a direct plea from The Boss's daughter move him to finally act?
Americans don't eat horse meat (it is shipped overseas), and 80% of American voters are opposed to the slaughter of U.S. horses for human consumption. What are you waiting for, Governor Christie?
See our latest press release to read a portion of the letter to the governor and learn more about New Jersey's pending horse slaughter ban. And if you live in New Jersey, we urge you to send your own letter to the governor—visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to get started!
Maybe in NJ you don't have people abandoning horses in state parks, and forrests - but here in Iowa we do. All our rescues are over capacity and with the drought we are experiencing the price of hay and grain is going through the roof. Our rescues are finding farms with multiple dead animals because the people have run out of feed and the sale barns here wont take ponys, colts, stallions, cripled horses or blind horses. It costs aprox $700 to euthinise a horse here including the disposal. Horse slaughter is a necessary evil and better done here in the United States than having our horses shipped to Canada or Mexico where they have to travel thousands of miles and we have absolutely NO say in how they are treated once they cross into that foreign country. Better here where all aspects can be regulated than where we have no say.
I agree that horse slaughter needs to stop. Thank you to people in the public eye like Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica for helping bring attention to this!
I just made a donation for the starving horses in the SW and now I see this? I just don't understand! ;(
Please do not slaughter these horses they have always been man's work companions, friends,pets and carried the soldier though war being shot and blown up right next to their owner. They do not deserve this they deserve to be loved and appreciated!
Horses aren't made for eating. They are beautiful creatures that are to be appreciated.
Why isn,t the bill signed yet??? And if she signs- I certainly hope No horses get send to Mexico or Canada ! Mexico is well known for their Animal Cruelty and the way, they do slaughter-is Horrible !! They eat Horse-meat. We don,t..Please put a stop on the Horse slaughter..In away to many cases it,s not even necessary !!!Makes me sick to the stomach...We still need the Horse.. in many ways ..
Let the governor eat horse meat before it is shipped over seas, in fact let his whole family eat it, but first, let them see how the meat is processed first. Then maybe he will sign.
we love them, stop killing them. murderers

NFL Game Summary - Denver at New England
(Saturday, January 14th)
Final Score: New England 45, Denver 10
Foxboro, MA (Sports Network) - Two-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady shredded Denver's defense in a record-tying performance, while Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow never got on track against a relentless New England defense.
The magical run for the former Heisman Trophy winner is over for this season, but Brady is one win away from pushing the Patriots to the Super Bowl yet again.
Brady tied an NFL playoff record by throwing six touchdown passes in New England's 45-10 dismantling of Tebow and the Broncos in an AFC divisional playoff game Saturday at a frigid Gillette Stadium.
The top-seeded Patriots, who will host either Baltimore or Houston in next Sunday's AFC Championship Game, set a franchise record for most points in a playoff game.
Brady connected on 26-of-34 throws for 363 yards and was picked off once, equaling the TD mark held by Daryle Lamonica of the Oakland Raiders in a 1969 game against Houston and San Francisco's Steve Young in the Super Bowl against San Diego following the 1994 season.
The Patriots showed off their versatility. Tight end Aaron Hernandez, who was used at times as a running back, gained 61 yards on five carries. Brady even gave a wry smile after a 48-yard punt on third down with 2:56 remaining in the game.
Rob Gronkowski caught 10 passes for 145 yards and three scores for the Patriots, who got their first playoff win since beating San Diego in the AFC title contest following the 2007 season. This was their ninth straight win.
"You lose a few playoff games and it's a very bitter way to end the season," Brady said. "It sits in your mind for quite a long time. For us to come out and play the way we did, to have a very solid performance in the most important game of the year is very gratifying."
Tebow ended 9-of-26 for 136 yards and was sacked five times. He rushed for only 13 yards.
Tebow and Demaryius Thomas connected for an 80-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime, giving the Broncos a 29-23 victory over the Steelers in last weekend's wildcard contest.
But for the second time in less than a month, Brady and the Patriots put up big offensive numbers in beating the Broncos, coupled with a 41-23 victory in Denver on December 18.
"There's a lot of things that we're proud of, but obviously it's hard to see them all right now though," Tebow said.
Right from the start, Brady was carving up the Denver defense, leading the Patriots on a five-play, 80-yard drive that resulted in seven points. The big play was a 43-yard run from Hernandez down the left sideline. On the next play, Brady rocketed a pass over the middle to Wes Welker, who powered to the end zone.
It was Brady's 18th consecutive postseason game with a TD pass, the second- longest streak all-time, behind Brett Favre (20).
On Denver's opening possession, Tebow moved the Broncos to the New England 37, but he had difficulty with the rush early. Linebacker Rob Ninkovich stripped Tebow from behind and his ex-Florida teammate, Brandon Spikes, recovered for the Pats at their 41.
Brady took immediate advantage of the turnover, taking six plays to advance the Patriots to the Denver 10. Gronkowski made a mystifying grab on the following play by first escaping the coverage of cornerback Andre Goodman to the rear left corner of the end zone. It seemed Brady's pass led the second- year tight end too far, but Gronkowski used his right hand to tip the ball to himself and then sandwiched the ball between his hands as he landed on his stomach in the end zone. Video review was used to confirm the scoring play that made it 14-0 with 6:42 left in the opening quarter.
"That catch that Gronk made in the corner was one of the best catches I've ever seen," Brady said. "When you're making plays like that, it's really not about the defense, it's about making spectacular plays."
Shortly after Brady was picked off by Quinton Carter, Willis McGahee scored on a five-yard run up the middle on the first play of the second quarter.
But after each team punted, the Patriots widened the gap to 21-7 when on 3rd- and-3, Brady found Gronkowski over the middle for a 12-yard TD.
Two plays after a Denver punt, Deion Branch got loose down the left sideline for a 61-yard TD, a play made possible by the veteran wide receiver pushing off Goodman, although there was no interference call.
"I think we reached a point there where we didn't have enough people to match up on their multiple wideout stuff," Broncos coach John Fox said. "That limited us to some point in playing man coverage. They were definitely the better team tonight."
That score came with 1:57 left in the half, and after a three-and-out for Denver, Brady had 69 seconds to work...an eternity for the reigning NFL MVP. Completions to Welker, Hernandez and Julian Edelman moved the ball to the Denver 19. On the next play, Gronkowski reeled in Brady's pass over the middle and darted to the end zone with five seconds left in the half.
Less than four minutes into the third, the Patriots upped their lead to 42-7 when Hernandez caught a 17-yard TD pass over the middle.
Brady seemed on his way to breaking the single-game scoring pass record on New England's next possession, but Stevan Ridley fumbled the ball away after making a reception at the Denver 19.
Matt Prater kicked a 41-yard field goal late in the third for the Broncos, and Brady had another shot for history early in the fourth. Right after Gronkowski's amazing tip-toe catch down right sideline on first play of the last quarter, New England was set up at the four, but the Pats ran the ball three times before Stephen Gostkowski kicked a field goal.
New England's tenacious 'D' was all over Tebow, who pumped his fist in frustration after scrambling away on 4th-and-goal, only to have his pass deflected away midway through the fourth.
"I think we knew going into this game that we had a good idea of what we wanted to do and how we wanted to play," Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said. "We prepared well and were very confident going into today's game. I understand that we can play this game how we want to play this game. Everything worked out for us. Hopefully it won't stop now."
Game Notes
Brady (4,770) passed Dan Marino (4,510) for the fifth-most postseason passing yards in NFL history. Brady also has 36 playoff TD passes, which is third-most all-time, behind Joe Montana (45) and Favre (44)...Patriots coach Bill Belichick got his 16th playoff win, tying Pittsburgh's Chuck Noll for fourth-most all-time. Tom Landry (20), Don Shula (19) and Joe Gibbs (17) are ahead of Belichick...The last Broncos postseason playoff road win came January 11, 1998 at Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship Game...This was Denver's first divisional playoff game in exactly six years - a 27-13 loss to the Patriots...McGahee gained 76 yards on 17 carries...New England held a 509-252 advantage in total yardage.

Red is a timeless fragrance for the man who wants to be remembered long after the evening may be over as the man that just something was so sensual and sexy about the way he left the ladies in the room wanting him to return. The man who wears this fragrance has style and knows what women want from a real man's man and the man that they wish they were walking out the door with into a waiting limo for the rest of the evening on into the early hours. Purchase this fragrance and you will be rembered as I have ,as a man with taste and the look and smell of something more that awaits that special woman who wants a real man that knows his way in romance and a special love that his lady will remember always.
