I. Introduction
The Marion County Urban Growth Management Project is a three-phased, multi-year process designed to create a growth concept through the year 2050 and an implementation strategy for Marion County and the cities within the county.
The project, which began in March 1999, focuses on creating a future growth scenario that shapes growth according to the attitudes and desires of county residents. Before future growth scenarios could be developed, the existing development and growth-related codes and policies needed to be evaluated. During the first phase (March - November 1999), the project team developed Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping data and an analysis of the existing growth situation and patterns in Marion County.
The first phase of the project also centered on identifying community attitudes to ensure the alternative growth scenarios created in phase two, were grounded in the values most important to Marion County residents. Residents expressed their attitudes about growth through focus groups, surveys, workshops and committee/stakeholder meetings. These values were then translated into 24 evaluation criteria with specific and measurable guidelines that were used to measure how closely various growth scenarios met the public's values. The criteria became the guiding principles forming the foundation around which the growth management project framework and implementation strategy were developed in phase three. The criteria address issues such as transportation, environment, economic development, schools, quality of life, urban services, and growth management.
The project's second phase which began in April 2000 and completed in June 2001, included developing alternative growth scenarios for Marion County's future. Growth scenarios are in essence, "virtual" communities of the future complete with the placement, type, and density of land uses and transportation infrastructure. Four growth scenarios representing possible ways for the County to grow, were developed through public workshops and then were analyzed for consistency with the evaluation criteria developed in phase one of the project. These growth alternatives ranged from: continuation of current development trends (base case scenario); to compact development within the existing urban growth boundaries of communities; to focusing development along highway corridors (Highway 214, Highway 99E, Highway 22) to a more spread out pattern along the Interstate 5 corridor; to focusing the majority of growth to the largest cities (Salem-Keizer, Woodburn, Stayton and Silverton) within the county. The alternatives were analyzed and evaluated and city input sought on defining a preferred alternative through a public workshop on the alternatives. Phase two concluded with development of household and employment forecasts for each of the 20 cities in Marion County based on the preferred growth scenario that focused growth on the largest cities in the County.
Phase three began in July 2001 and included further refinement and analysis of the preferred growth alternative and work with local governments to identify the framework and implementation strategy to make the 2050 vision of Marion County a reality. Discussions with the cities also involved the identification of local and area growth and planning coordination issues. The growth management framework represents the regional approach for use by the county and cities toward addressing growth in an acceptable and comprehensive manner. The framework sets forth goals, policies, and standards regarding the key growth elements of transportation, housing, economic development, and environment that can be utilized as targets by the cities in achieving the desired growth patterns and visions for their communities. The countywide framework focuses on coordination among the 20 cities and the County to provide for growth of the urban areas through a comprehensive approach involving the interaction of the cities collectively, rather than addressing each city individually.
The implementation strategy developed in phase three will require the cooperation of the County and the 20 cities within the County. The strategy includes guidelines, standards, and/or tools to manage growth and serves as the basis for increased understanding between the cities and County of how growth-related issues will be addressed in the future and how these issues affect the county.
This document is a summary of the public involvement process that was utilized throughout the three phases of the Marion County Urban Growth Management Project.
II. Public Involvement Program
The Urban Growth Management Project sought public input throughout the three-phased, multi-year planning process. Early work centered on identifying community/resident values and attitudes to ensure the alternative growth scenarios created were a reflection of the values most important to Marion County residents. The project used a variety of tools for involving, providing information, and gathering input from the public, interest groups, cities and the elected officials in the County, including the following:
Focus Groups
The first opportunity to learn about residents attitudes toward growth was through two focus group sessions conducted May 19 and 20, 1999. One was with rural residents primarily outside the Salem-Keizer area, and one included city residents from Salem and Keizer. There were 16 people participating in the groups, with eight in each session. Citizens were asked to discuss their views and preferences on a variety of topics related to livability, population growth in Marion County, where growth should occur, and land use and transportation practices and options. The research was conducted by Davis & Hibbitts, Inc. (DHI) for the project with the purpose being to solicit opinions about issues related to growth management in Marion County and to also compare the findings with recent surveys including the Willamette Valley Livability Forum and Salem Futures surveys. Key themes that resounded in the focus groups were:
Attitudes toward density - Participants were very concerned about increased density. They cited their personal experience with poorly sited and designed dense developments in their neighborhoods. In reference to multi-family housing, they were interested in better design, structures that complement and respect existing single-family development, and the availability of parks and open spaces.
Attitudes toward mixed use - Overall, there was a sense in the groups that mixed-use developments may be appropriate in some areas, but not in others. Those who were less than enthusiastic about mixed uses felt that if the right kinds of businesses were included and traffic and noise were taken care of, mixed-use developments would have some appeal. Unfortunately, most participants could not cite any examples of good mixed-use development.
Attitudes toward living near work - Generally, participants who did not personally want to live near where they worked felt that those who did should have that choice.
Attitudes toward design - Participants were very distressed over the lack of quality design in new developments. They were especially negative about "big box" commercial, strip development, and "boxy" multi-family developments.
Respect for different livability choices - There seemed to be an implied respect in both groups for the different types of development that people find desirable.
Public Opinion Survey
During June 1999, a countywide, broad-based phone survey was conducted by Davis & Hibbitts, Inc. (DHI) for the project to quantify and elaborate on the results of the focus group research. Four hundred residents were involved representing all parts of the county. Generally, those who responded had many of the same concerns as the focus group participants. In particular, they shared concern over the effects of growth on traffic, personal safety, the loss of forest and farm land, and the inability of infrastructure and services (including schools) to keep up with growth.
Respondents were asked what they liked or valued about where they live in Marion County. The neighborliness of their community ranked the highest followed by the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Participants were asked several questions to determine their concerns about population growth. Their greatest concerns were increased crime, followed by traffic congestion and environmental pollution.
The following are some of the other findings from the survey:
Support for planning - 85 percent agreed "planning for growth is necessary if we are to keep our livability."
Where growth should and should not occur -
Mixing land uses - 41 percent favored a separation between residential and shopping areas, 40 percent supported mixed-use centers, and 15 percent favored both equally.
City Survey
A Project Bulletin was distributed in April 1999 to all the cities in Marion County with a request that they be distributed to all the elected officials and planning commissioners of each of the cities. The project bulletin included a questionnaire asking for feedback on community issues, values and concerns. The following is a list of the questions:
Responses to the questionnaire were received from nine of the twenty cities in the county. The community issues shared by the respondents were utilized to identify and determine which values were important toward the establishment of guiding principles during the first phase of the project.
There were 10,000 copies of a project newsletter distributed in the Statesman Journal and other area community newspapers (Woodburn Independent, Stayton Mail, and so forth) in September 1999. The newsletter introduced the general public to the project and provided basic facts about the County's population and employment forecasts and about current county zoning and development trends. The newsletter was a four-page color layout with pictures that included a cut-out, mail-in questionnaire asking the public to identify livability issues that were most important to them.
Questionnaire -
Two-hundred and eighty-five people responded to the questionnaire that was part of the newsletter. The questionnaire asked participants to "identify the five principles that are most important in helping to shape future growth in Marion County." The top issues identified were:
The next question was "where would you like to see growth occur?" The responses indicated a majority would like to see growth within existing developed areas. Only 4 percent indicated they would like to see growth totally outside of existing development areas. This is significantly less than the number of phone survey respondents who responded in the same way.
A final question allowed respondents to provide comments as to how growth had affected them and their community.
Second Newsletter -
A second, four-page, pictorial newsletter was distributed in May 2001 (Phase 2 of the project) to cities, stakeholders, technical committee members, community groups, workshop participants, and interested citizens including survey respondents. It was also made available to the general public on the County's Planning Division website. The focus of the newsletter was to provide information about the four growth alternatives that were developed as part of the public workshops during the second phase of the project. The newsletter also included an invitation to participate in a public workshop that was held May 22, 2001 directed at elected officials of the cities to provide input on selection of a preferred growth alternative for Marion County.
Project Liaison Bulletins
At several key points during the project planning process, project liaison bulletins were produced for city elected officials, planning commissioners, stakeholders, technical committee members, community groups, organizations, project participants, interested persons and the general public. The four-page bulletins were designed to update the local governments and public on the Urban Growth Management Project process and to solicit their input through a series of questions included in each bulletin. A total of three bulletins (April 1999, July 1999, June 2000) were issued during the first two phases of the project and were in addition to the project newsletters.
Volume 1, April 1999 -
The initial bulletin provided background information regarding growth in Marion County along with a table depicting recent population changes for the cities within the County. A description of the Marion County Urban Growth Management Project was provided along with the process to be utilized in addressing the project objectives. A mail-in feedback questionnaire directed towards the cities was provided along with a list of public involvement opportunities including focus groups, workshops, newsletters, and stakeholder groups as part of the project.
Volume 2, July 1999 -
The second bulletin provided an update on the process and activities occurring during the first phase of the project. The results of the focus group discussions and public opinion survey were provided in the bulletin. Information on development of the Geographic Information System (GIS) for the County including the numerous data layers as part of the first phase of the project was explained. A two-page feedback questionnaire on community values was provided as an insert to the bulletin asking local government officials and the public to review guiding principles/evaluation criteria identified by the Stakeholders Group that were based on the public responses on community values. The feedback sheet asked for a review of the concepts along with edits, deletions, or additions to the list of ten concepts that were provided for review.
Volume 3, June 2000 -
The third project bulletin provided a summary of phase one of the project including current County growth trends, citizen input from the surveys and questionnaires, and a list of the 24 guiding principles/evaluation criteria developed during phase one. The phase two activities including the workshops to create growth alternatives for the county along with other public involvement opportunities during phase two were also listed.
The 24 guiding principles/evaluation criteria adopted by the Stakeholder Group based on public input and community responses to be used in phase two to evaluate the success of various growth scenarios are as follows:
Quality of Life
Urban Services
Growth Management
The 24 guiding principles/evaluation criteria are the foundation for the goals around which the growth management framework and implementation strategy were developed in phase three of the project. The principles/criteria were developed, reviewed, modified and adopted by the project Stakeholder Group.
Planning Division Website - Project Information
The Marion County Planning Division website, www.co.marion.or.us/mcplann provided and continues to provide information about the Urban Growth Management Project and planning in Marion County. The project website was and continues to be updated to include the latest information regarding the project. Information about the project on the website includes the Growth Management Framework and Implementation Strategy, Project 2050 Population Forecast Options, Public Hearing Notice, staff report for the public hearing, Project Phase 1 and 2 Report, Project Newsletter, maps of the growth alternatives, and a powerpoint presentation on the project that summarizes the project's three phases and next steps. The County will continue to post information on the project to the website as work continues on the adoption of the County's Growth Management Framework and the implementation of the growth management framework strategy.
Stakeholder Group
A 65-member Stakeholder Group was approved by the Board of Commissioners and was recruited at the outset of the project. This group provided the overall direction for the project process and work tasks, reviewed the public input, established evaluation criteria or the project's guiding principles based on that input, discussed and provided input on project materials, assisted with the formulation of the growth alternatives, and acted as facilitators at the public design workshops.
Stakeholder members included representatives from: the 20 cities in the county; Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments; state agencies; transit agency; special districts; education and school districts; agricultural community; large and small businesses; retail trade; building industry; development community; environmental interests; affordable housing advocates; economic development organizations; chambers of commerce; area advisory committees; and minority groups.
Throughout the process, the Stakeholder Group heard from the many interest groups including the agricultural community and people interested in a "no-growth" concept for the county and state.
During the Fall of 2000, a special invitation was extended to local government elected officials to share their thoughts on growth and future visions for their communities with the Stakeholder Group. In addition, local government officials were also members of the Stakeholder Group and participated in project meetings. Project staff also met with specific local governments at their request and shared project information with the communities. The input from local governments was used to create the four growth alternatives and to further refine and analyze the alternatives in order to select a preferred growth scenario for the county.
The Stakeholder Group met on a regular basis throughout phases one and two of the project. Meeting packets providing updates on the project, review materials, and discussion issues were provided to all Group members, the 20 cities, and other interested persons. A total of 13 Stakeholder meetings occurred during the three phases (4 in phase one, 8 in phase two, 1 in phase three). Representation of the Group included the following:

Community Workshops
In November 2000, during Phase two of the project, two public workshops were held, one in Woodburn on November 8, 2000, and the other in Stayton on November 16, 2000. In the hands-on workshops, the public worked in small groups and created alternative visions for the County's future by identifying where they would like to see jobs and housing located throughout the county in the future. The groups were given the option of working within either the northern or southern areas (which included the east portion of the county) of the county. The small groups considered a wide range of growth-related issues including: preservation of farm and environmentally sensitive lands; traffic congestion; transit use; density; and infrastructure costs. In all, approximately 82 Marion County residents attended the workshops and created 12 growth alternatives. Of the 12 alternatives, five were created for the north area of the county and seven for the southern portion of the county. Members of the Stakeholder Groups assisted as facilitators for the small groups at the workshops.
Notification of the community workshops was published in the Statesman Journal and other area newspapers such as the Woodburn Independent and Stayton Mail. Flyers on the workshops were also provided to the cities, stakeholder group, interested persons, other community groups and media for distribution. Local radio spots providing information on the workshops were also done. Post card notices of the workshops were also sent out to the cities and project participants (survey and questionnaire respondents) prior to the workshops providing information on how to participate or sign up for the workshops.
Alternatives/Preferred Alternative Workshop
On May 22, 2001, local government officials met jointly with the Stakeholder Group and interested persons to evaluate the four growth alternatives and identify the components of the preferred alternative. Local government officials identified whether or not the alternatives addressed their local values and provided the appropriate degree of future growth desired by their communities. Elected officials were also encouraged to submit information on the alternatives following the workshop as each city was provided a worksheet on population/employment forecasts and for identifying key local issues related to growth. The information provided by the cities was used to refine the population and employment forecasts for each city and the pattern of growth outlined in the preferred alternative.
The workshop was preceded by a presentation from the cities of Keizer and Salem regarding local long-range planning efforts including the Keizer Infill Study and the Salem Futures project, an integrated land use and transportation plan to guide development and reduce emphasis on the automobile during the next 50 years. The 2050 Salem Futures project was running along a similar process and timeline as the County growth management project with the results of Salem Futures to be incorporated into the County's growth management strategy. The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for the Salem Futures project met with the Stakeholder Group prior to the workshop to discuss growth issues and the integration of the two planning projects.
Project Presentations in Forums with other Governments/Groups
Marion County was invited to talk about and present information on the growth management project in a variety of public or government forums. The following discusses some of those venues:
Stayton/Sublimity Chamber of Commerce - November 6, 2000
Presentation to approximately 50 members of the Stayton/Sublimity Chamber of Commerce during one of their regularly scheduled meetings upon being invited to speak to them about the Marion County Growth Management Project. This was in advance of the upcoming community workshops held during phase two of the project and provided an opportunity to discuss planning from a regional perspective and invite members to participate in the workshops.
Salem-Keizer Area Transportation Study (SKATS) Policy Committee/Mid Willamette Valley Council of Governments (MWVCOG) - May 22, 2001
Presentation to the SKATS Policy Committee, SKATS and MWVCOG staff, and interested persons and jurisdictions comprising SKATS and the MWVCOG. Summary presentation of phases one and two of the Marion County Growth Management Project, the workshops, growth alternatives, and the next steps in the planning process. The SKATS Policy Committee is made up of representatives from Marion County, Polk County, City of Salem, City of Keizer, ODOT, Salem Area Mass Transit, Salem/Keizer School District, and recently, the City of Turner. SKATS is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) designated by the Governor to develop and implement a coordinated, comprehensive, and continuing planning process addressing issues relating to transportation systems or regional significance in the Salem/Keizer urbanized area.
Marion County Fair, Planning Display on the Growth Management Project - July 12-15, 2001
The Planning Division maintained a display booth at the Marion County Fair providing information regarding the Marion County Urban Growth Management Project along with staff to answer questions. Map displays and handouts were provided on the project along with comment cards for the public to submit questions, comments or get on an interested persons list for the project.
APA 2001 Oregon Planning Institute (OPI) Conference - October 5, 2001
Participation in and part of the presentation panel for the 2001 Oregon Planning Institute session titled "Regional Visions - Local Actions". The session involved presentations and discussions on the Marion County Urban Growth Management Project and the Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) Region 2050 project which look at future visions for different parts of the larger Willamette Valley. The Oregon Planning Institute conference held at the University of Oregon is an annual event that brings together planners (public and private sector, and including students) and those involved in planning decisions from around the State of Oregon to learn about and discuss current and innovative planning issues in Oregon.
Salem Futures Project Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) - December 18, 2001
Presentation to the 38-member Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) involved with the Salem Futures long-range planning effort to develop an integrated land use and transportation plan to guide future development in Salem. The CAC is a broad-based group representing the community and appointed by the City Council to work with city staff and the consultant on this multi-year, multi-phased planning project. Several members of the CAC are also members of the County's Stakeholder Group for the Marion County Growth Management Project. The Salem Futures project is an integral part of the County growth management framework and implementation strategy as approximately two-thirds of the forecast growth in the County by the year 2050 is expected to occur within the Salem/Keizer urban area.
Mid-Willamette Valley Area Commission on Transportation (MWACT) - February 7, 2002
Presentation of the Marion County Growth Management Project, Framework, and Implementation Strategy to the Mid-Willamette Valley Area Commission on Transportation. MWACT is one of several Area Commissions on Transportation that were established by the Oregon Transportation Commission to improve communication and interaction between the ODOT, local officials, legislators and the business community. MWACT provides a forum for discussion and coordination of current and future transportation issues that affect a community's economic development, environment, housing, sustainability, and transportation system. The 16 member MWACT includes representation from area elected officials and stakeholder groups. Also participating are members from various governmental agencies and regional groups having an interest in transportation issues.
Marion County Board of Commissioners - Project updates, work sessions, public hearing
Throughout the project's phases, the Board of Commissioners were provided updates on project information, process and next steps. Project funding and grant items were also brought before the Board. These project related activities occurred at regular Board meetings or in work session which are open to the public with the weekly Board sessions televised on the local cable access television (CCTV) which provided another public information venue for the project.
Meetings with City Staff/Planners
As a follow-up to the identification of growth related issues by the cities at the beginning of the project during phase one and toward development of a growth management framework and implementation strategy in phase three of the project, meetings with city administration and staff/planners were scheduled and occurred during December 2001. The cities were invited to sit down with project staff/consultant to identify specific local issues, review population and employment forecasts, go over and refine the growth boundary capacity and land needs analysis, provide information about the cities and likely growth scenarios, look at and identify possible areas of future growth boundary expansions, and discuss planning needs and coordination. Information was gathered on sixteen of the twenty cities in the County.
Presentations to Cities - Project and Framework
With the formulation of the draft growth management framework and implementation strategy in Phase 3, based on the workshops in Phase 2 and further analysis of the 2050 projections and capacity analysis of the existing growth boundaries of the cities, presentations of the Framework and Implementation Strategy were scheduled with the cities in the County. The cities were contacted (mailings, phone calls, and follow-up mailings) and meetings scheduled during the months of March through June 2002, to coincide with local council, planning commission, or special meetings to present the Growth Management Project, Framework and Implementation Strategy. The meetings were also an opportunity for feedback on a community's vision and how they fit into the "bigger picture" countywide growth scenario, and for discussion of local growth concerns, planning and transportation issues, and coordination needs.
Following is an outline of the presentations made to the cities which included a powerpoint presentation in some cases depending on the amount of time that was provided at the meeting:
The cities were asked whether they wanted to have a presentation on the Marion County Urban Growth Management Project. The cities were provided information on the project through each of the three phases. Presentations were made to fifteen of the twenty cities in the County with open invitations to the remaining cities along with the opportunity to provide input and comments on growth issues and concerns.
III. Letters of Support/Agreement and/or Concerns
The Marion County Urban Growth Management Project objective is " to develop a policy and implementation strategy through an urban growth management framework plan which becomes a component of the Marion County Comprehensive Plan for guiding and coordinating urban growth among its cities. " In discussing and presenting a growth management framework plan and implementation strategy to the cities, it was essential that the County and cities reach agreement on basic and general goals and policies for addressing growth issues and the need to coordinate in the development of solutions and tools to both manage and resolve impacts resulting from growth. The Growth Management Framework and Implementation Strategy will be Marion County's approach toward coordinating a countywide growth management program which includes the 20 cities or urban areas within the county. The Framework establishes the general policies and strategies for the management of transportation, housing, environmental, and economic development issues facing the county and the urban areas, providing a regional approach to these issues which go beyond jurisdictional boundaries and which require agreement between the County and cities to implement a successful urban growth program throughout the county. Rather than twenty individual urban growth programs being implemented in isolation of each other, the growth management project looked to garner general agreement or support from the cities as to the general growth concepts and coordinated implementation approach to addressing growth issues. In this manner, the twenty urban growth programs involving each city would work in the same direction based on common values and guiding principles, with the realization that cities interact and influence each other and are part of a countywide planning effort .
As part of the presentation and discussion of the Marion County Urban Growth Management Project and Growth Management Framework and Implementation Strategy, the County sought and asked for city support or agreement of the County's growth management approach and process, or to submit specific concerns with the basic concepts, goals, policies, standards, implementation of the County growth strategy and process. A sample letter was provided to the cities which they could use, revise, edit or totally disregard as to content. Letters were received from ten of the twenty cities in the County.

Davos Notebook
Will Goldman's new BRICwork stand up?
Jim O'Neill, the Goldman Sachs economist who coined the term BRICs back in 2001, is adding four new countries to the elite club of emerging market economies. But does his new edifice have the same solid foundations?
In future, the BRIC economies of Brazil, Russia, China and India will be merged with those of Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey and South Korea under the banner "growth markets," O'Neill told the Financial Times.
Hmmm. Doesn't quite grab you like BRICs, does it? The Guardian helpfully offers an amended branding banner of "Bric 'n Mitsk" (geddit?). But which ever way you cut it, it's hard to see a flood of investment conferences and funds floating off under the new moniker.
Ten years ago, Goldman had this field to itself. Now more and more acronyms are being bandied around by banks seeking to pique investors' appetite for higher returns.
Goldman has already launched the N-11, or Next Eleven countries, and other contenders include the VISTA economies (Vietnam, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey and Argentina), the CIVETS (Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa) and the EAGLES (Emerging and Growth-Leading Economies).
So far, none of them have really caught on. One thing you can bank on: the term BRIC will still score highly in any tally of the millions of words that will issue forth from Davos next week.

The Etek4 AM is of an All Metal construction that replaces all of the above composite parts with machined alloy parts.The following features can be found on BOTH Etek4 LT and Etek4 AM models:• NEW One-Piece Body – New 3D machining with sleek lines. The Body has an integrated male FRM the same as Ego11 and Geo2 to accept the SL3 Regulator• NEW SL3 Regulator - Internally and performance-wise, the exact same regulator that can be found on the Ego11, CSL and Geo2.1. It allows the Etek4 to run with HP, MP or LP tanks without the need to alter settings and inline regulator adjustments. It has a replaceable and reversible main seal as well as self-purging feature to leave the firing chamber de-gassed after tank removal.• NEW Angled Inline Reg Swivel - Similar to those seen on the Geo2.1 and Ego11, the Etek4 now includes its own angled reg swivel.• NEW 2012 OOPS - The new OOPS combines a low profile, ultra-easy on/off/purge function and front-mounted hose exit. As with all Eclipse markers since 2007 the Etek4 utilizes the T-Slot Rail. The Etek4 will also accept a POPS ASA.• NEW Zick2 Rammer Kit - The incredibly successful Zick2 kit is now to be found as standard on the Etek4. The Etek4 kit utilizes a unique rammer cap to work with the Etek4 rammer housing.• NEW Shaft4 Etek Barrel - Like the full-fat Shaft4 barrel, the Etek4 barrel utilizes a 2-piece, reverse threaded construction with a longer rear control bore for increased efficiency and consistency. The barrel is internally finished identically to the Geo and Ego Shaft4 barrel but features simplified external machining. The rear bore is honed to 0.693" diameter and both front and backs are compatible with Shaft4 Boost Kits and Tips.• Deftek Feed – Offset Feed. The feed is offset to one side by a small amount. This prevents the balls that tumble into the breech from bouncing excessively and causing breaks and chops..• Cure Bolt – Again carried over from the Ego range, the Etek4 now has a Cure bolt as standard, as well as a body-contoured cut at the rear so the bolt blends seamlessly into the marker body. The Cure bolt helps the Etek4 to shoot the most fragile of tournament grade paints without worry of breaks due to the bolt clipping paintballs in the feed stack. The Etek4 will accept Cure3+ and Cure4 upgrade bolts.• Direct Mounted Solenoid - The Etek4 Minifold mounts the ever-faithful SMC solenoid directly to the marker body, directly adjacent to the rammer. There is just a single hose taking the LP air from the LPR to the Minifold where it is filtered for added protection against debris.• Adjustable LPR – With the same LPR found on the Ego11 and CSL, the Etek4 offers precise control of LPR pressure, without the risk of accidental over-pressurization of the solenoid or rammer.• Fully Adjustable Trigger – The Trigger rides in a self-lubricating trigger holder that clips neatly into the frame. This, combined with the magnetic trigger return mechanism, creates a smooth, positive trigger feel. It is adjustable for fore and aft stop as well as magnetic return strength.• Break Beam Sensor System – Using the same components and software as the Ego BBSS system, the Etek4 ensures that the marker excels at preventing chopped balls in the breech. When enabled, the Etek4 will only fire once a ball has loaded into the breech. If the BBSS system sees any kind of fault, the software automatically overrides the system and the marker continues to fire at a greatly reduced rate.• LED Board - 3 tru-color LED indicators. These 3 clever LEDs allow easy programming of all the user definable parameters by greatly simplifying the programming process. The top LED indicates 10s of units, the middle displays 1s and the bottom shows 0.1 increments.• Programmable Firing Modes – Etek4 has user-definable settings for Dwell, Ball-in- Place, Eyes-Off ROF, Capped ROF (un-capped in Semi 1), Debounce, and Firing Mode. As standard the Etek4 has the capability to be set to cover every tourney regulation.• Soft Grips – The Etek4 grips follow the same design as the Geo and Ego grips. Comfortable, slim, grippy and soft.

Henrik Johan Ibsen (March 20, 1828May 23, 1906) was an extremely influential Norwegian playwright who was largely responsible for the rise of the modern realistic drama (dubbed "the father of modern drama"). It is said that Ibsen is the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare. He is held to be the greatest Norwegian author of all times, being celebrated as a national symbol by Norwegians, and as one of the most important playwrights in world history.

The San Lorenzo Valley and Scotts Valley areas weathered the first major winter storm of the season as many areas saw more than 10 inches of rain in four days.
Despite flash flood warnings from the National Weather Service early Sunday, Dec. 2, the valleys had little damage.
In Boulder Creek, 12.13 inches of rain fell in the five days from Nov. 28 to Sunday, raising the season total to 18.93 inches.
The heaviest rainfall was Friday, Nov. 30, when 5.23 inches of rain fell on the area, according to data from the San Lorenzo Valley Water District.
The rain and some high winds felled trees and power lines. Highway 9 was closed twice in Boulder Creek as trees crashed across the road, Two-Bar road was closed Sunday and Highway 236 was closed once during the storm, said Chief Kevin McClish of Boulder Creek Fire Protection District.
A home workshop was struck by a large tree branch that punctured the roof, but fire crews were not called to deal with any other trees that had fallen on homes.
"We didn't get near the amount of calls we were expecting," McClish said Tuesday, Dec. 4.
Ben Lomond was left nearly unscathed by the driving rain. A tree fell across Highway 9 south of the town, diverting traffic most of the day Friday. However, there was no major storm-related damage, according to Chief Stacie Brownlee of Ben Lomond Fire Protection District.
"Everything fared well up here," she said Monday, Dec. 3, after the storm had passed.
The area covered by Zayante Fire Protection District was hit harder. A small redwood tree fell into a house on Zayante Lakes Road, fire Chief John Stipes said.
Other trees and wires fell throughout the district, and a car accident on Lompico Road broke off a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. pole, closing the road for several hours and knocking out electricity to part of the area.
"I have to give them credit, PG&E was on it right when the lines went down," Stipes said. "I'm not sure if they had an extra crew in the area because they were expecting (outages), but they were on top of it."
Throughout the bay area, PG&E reported 358,950 outages during the storm including periodic outages in the San Lorenzo Valley. Nearly all power was restored by Monday afternoon.
Stipes reported that Lompico and Zayante creeks came close to overflowing their banks, but the rain subsided enough for levels to decrease.
"All in all, we've had a lot worse with less water," Stipes said.
Valley Churches United Missions offers sandbags for pickup during storms at 9400 Highway 9 in Ben Lomond. More information is available by phone at 336-8258.
Felton was also relatively unscathed following several days of heavy rain. Cal Fire reported that 10.78 inches fell in Felton between Nov. 28 and Sunday, raising the seasonal total to 16.46 inches.
A tree fell on San Lorenzo Way on Nov. 28, blocking the roadway. However, there were no serious incidents or flooding in Felton, according to Felton Fire Protection District Chief Ron Rickabough.
Scotts Valley was spared major damage during the storm, too.
The area saw 10.32 inches of rain during the five-day storm and several small incidents. A tree fell and blocked Carbonera Drive on Friday, and a small power outage occurred on Bethany Drive, according to Scotts Valley Fire District Chief Dan Grebil.
"We fared fairly well," Grebil said.
After some mild Wednesday morning showers at Press-Banner press time, no rain is predicted for the weekend.

Despite the domestic violence incident and the dual restraining order filed against one another last month, it appears that Matt Hardy and Reby Sky are staying together. Both are still facing battery charges from the incident at the motel room during New Year's day.
TMZ is now providing a little more details into the incident between Matt Hardy and Reby Sky at a motel during New Years Eve that led to their arrest. The gossip website is reporting that Reby was upset with Hardy because she thought he had been drinking or under the influences of drugs.
On February 22, OMEGA Championship Wrestling is doing a live event in Smithfield, North Carolina. Matt Hardy and Shane Helms will be headlining the event as a tag team. Gunner, Christian York and Reby Sky have all been announced for the show as well.
Matt Hardy and Reby Sky were arrested on January 1, and it somehow managed to avoid the media until now. TMZ has picked up on the story and revealed that the two of them were arrested for fighting one another in a motel room in Virginia. Both were charged with assault and battery.
Independent wrestler Reby Sky, who recently got married to former WWE star Matt Hardy, is currently doing another photo shoot for Playboy. Her first nude pictorial for the magazine was back in 2007.
Rumors have been spreading that a breakup has happened between Reby Sky and Matt Hardy because of all the issues that he has been going through lately, but it appears that the model and wrestler is sticking around and trying to help the former WWE rehabilitate his life.

The election is exactly four weeks away.Where is the national conversation about peace? With the economic crisis and the media's attention on bulls and pitbulls and pigs and lipstick, Iraq has been pushed off into the shadows. It's up to us to pull it back into the spotlight!
We saw how Congress bowed to the demands of Wall Street, turning a deaf ear to the needs of the people. And while the nation was focused on the bailout, Congress quietly passed a $615 billion defense spending bill! We can't let this happen again, not when so much is at stake. Let's use these last four weeks of the election cycle to bring the issues of Iraq and peace back to the forefront. Let's get out into our communities and build the people power we will need to bring the troops home and prevent future military disaster in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran.
Click here to pledge to be a Voter for Peace and for the next four weeks, engage with your community to spread the message of peace. Talk to your friends and neighbors and attend political events, community events and debate parties with our petition and ask people to commit to peace. Not just with their vote, but beyond November 4th.
We've made pledging for peace fun! You can win great prizes, including a trip to DC in January to be with us in action during the Inauguration, and watch your influence spread across the map as you inspire more people to pledge to vote for peace.
>Together, we can build the team we will need to keep the pressure on through the next administration, no matter who ends up at the helm. As we saw last week, Congress caves all too easily to the call of Wall Street and the White House, pouring money into bailouts and defense that could have been put toward education and health care and renewable energy. Let's remind them that Peace needs to be at the top of their agenda.
Thank you for pledging to spread the word of Peace,
Dana, Deidra, Desiree, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Jean, Jodie, Liz, Lori, Medea, Nancy, and Rae
P.S. Thank you for standing in solidarity!
at home:
Your support for green jobs, not war jobs helped--last week, more

"We're ready for green jobs now!" Click
here to see report backs and continue to educate yourself further
about the green economy. We can't drill and burn our
way out of the current crisis. But, working together, we can invest
and invent our way out.

Maryland Volleyball Announces Coaches Clinic.
"We are excited to offer a coaching clinic on the campus of the University of Maryland. One of our goals moving forward is to build excitement for the sport and encourage coaches to share ideas, training tips, drills and information in and around the state. We have world class facilities and our location will make it easy for coaches in Maryland and surrounding states to spend a day with us. Our goal is to provide information and some unique ideas prior to your teams preseason this fall." - Coach Aird -

When I accepted the position of the Head Volleyball Coach at the University of Maryland I set out to create a positive learning environment where student athletes would learn to dream big, set goals and achieve at a high level. I wanted to create a program where our student athletes would learn to be a great teammate, the value of hard work and enjoy the process. Ultimately, I wanted to create a place where student athletes learned life skills through the vehicle of volleyball, all while competing to win conference and national championships.
It's with these same ideals that I'm extremely excited to launch the Maryland Volleyball Camp program. I believe very strongly that our Terp Volleyball Camp will prepare young athletes for the next step in their volleyball career. My goal is to employ a staff that will help create a championship atmosphere. An atmosphere that will help get 100% out of their 100%...regardless of age, skill level or expereince. I want each of our campers to come away with a better understanding of the game while developing their individual skills. In the end, I want all of those who come to our camp to walk away knowing they improved their game, had a great time and inspire them to continue playing the sport they love.
Please take a few minutes to read about all of our various camp options. Summer will be here before you know it and I hope you will join us for what promises to be a great Maryland Volleyball Experience.

You have to make the best of everything you have. Never take anyone or anything for granted. Love to your fullest. Dream big. Make mistakes. Stay strong. Fall in love with strangers. Fall in love with friends. Don't be afraid. If you care about someone tell them because they deserve to know. Take a chance because you never know what could happen.

Is there a term for when it is both undercast and overcast? When you are on a summit or various place and there is a layer of clouds below you and also another layer above you. Does it matter if the lower layer is pretty much continuous fog?
Is there a term for when it is both undercast and overcast? When you are on a summit or various place and there is a layer of clouds below you and also another layer above you. Does it matter if the lower layer is pretty much continuous fog?
No term that I am aware of. Clouds above are overcast, under undercast and at our level, fog. If the layer below us is know to be fog, we call it PTCHY VLY FG_dir in the remarks. This reads as patchy valley fog and dir is the directions it is occuring. It is usually obvious to us whether or not it is fog or clouds below us based on the elevation that they are occurring. But at times, if we can't tell, we go with whichever one we believe it is based on weather conditions at the time of their formation. In this mornings scenario, which I assume is why this was raised, several stations were reporting fog as occuring, but since the clouds surrounding us below the station were obscuring the fog, we only called the cloud layer. Since we have webcams and ceilometers around the station, we could tell that there was a fog layer in addition to this cloud layer. While at times the fog and lower layer may be one, we call what we see. If it looks like clouds at 5300 feet, we call that layer rather than fog. Hope this helps clear things up a bit.

I was just curious as I had these conditions on Sept 23 when I was on Mt. Monadnock last. I am sure the lower level was fog since it was so low that you were driving through it in some towns on the way there. You could see it moving through the valleys some, but it didn't really clear up very fast. It did make for an interesting hike being between two layers of clouds and being able to see hills poking up through the bottom layer. I'm still looking forward to hiking some day on a trully undercast day.
Getting close to tree line
Nice shot! Love those conditions!

Tongue firmly in cheek here...... take this with a large grain of salt.
When folks present at the Auto Road to drive up, we very often describe these conditions as "a cloud sandwich"; quite a unique opportunity to experience weather on a vertical axis rather than just at ground level.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Caring for a Continent Ileostomy or K-Pouch
Other Helpful Tips About K-Pouch Care
These other tips can help you properly care for your K-pouch:
- Inspect the catheter frequently to be sure drainage is flowing freely through the tube.
- Irrigate the catheter twice a day, or as instructed by your ET nurse or doctor. Irrigate with 1 ounce of tap water, and let it drain off.
- As a general rule, most patients will have continuous drainage into a drainage bag until their first follow-up appointment after surgery. During this time, you should not experience pressure beneath the pouch, an absence of stool draining from the catheter, or stool leaking around the catheter. If any of these signs or symptoms occur, check the catheter for kinks, irrigate the catheter, pinch the catheter between your finger and thumb and check if a fluid or air column can be seen moving up and down. If the above steps do not work to relieve symptoms, remove the catheter, clean it, and replace it. Call your doctor if problems continue.
- Inspect the stoma daily. It should look shiny, moist, and red. Report any changes to your doctor.
- If stool becomes too thick and movement through the catheter appears slow or difficult, increase your fluid intake to 10-12 eight-ounce glasses of fluid daily. Include water, juice, and other non-caffeinated beverages.
- Never take laxative preparations, as they can cause diarrhea and lead to dehydration.

I, for one, am just excited to have found an uber-hip way to express my love of The Little Mermaid.
1. This Quidditch World Cup poster is part of a series of vintage-styled Harry Potter travel posters.
2. Ghostbusters poster by Brandon Shaeffer, via Escape Into Life.
3. Dumb and Dumber design by Daniel Norris.
4. Anchorman by Moxy Creative.
5. Up-inspired travel poster by Paul Conrad.
6. The Little Mermaid gets a new look courtesy of Eric Tan.
7. WALL-E: the future of robotics.
8. Groundhog Day by Daniel Norris.

These are phenomenal. I've seen movie poster-redo's on etsy.com before & I am excited to see them featured. They make it easy to feature your favorite movies in a more sophisticated and polished way. Love!
I can't even buy the Up posters? Lame...
I would love to see a minimal movie poster on the original Italian Job with with Michael Caine!
the harry potter one is done by my personal friend, caroline!!!
you can see more of her stuff here:
i love these black swan posters!
LOVE. Gimme, gimme! :)
The style of the Inception poster is based on that of Saul Bass, the graphic designer Hitchcock used in some of his most memorable posters. Hitcock himself did not design the posters.
I'm curious -- would these artists have any problem with trademark infringements? I think these are so cool but Disney especially is very tight with how their characters are portrayed; I can't imagine they wouldn't send this artist a cease and desist letter if they saw it. Anyone have experience with this?
I love these!!!! I want the Quidditch one! :)
These are fantastic!
And now I know what my brother is getting for Christmas. "A great place to crash" - that's hilarious.
Get on my wall now, Groundhog Day.
For the Disney ones they have artists that are given permission to re-interpret the characters/images and at least for the little mermaid one in this list (I haven't looked into anything else yet) it's being sold through a Disney affiliate of sorts.
Oh. My god. There are posters for all of my favorite movies! I'll have to pass this on to the artists at my office. Thanks!
This is SO DARN COOL! I love the poster for 'Inception' but then again, I am totally obsessed with that movie!
I know the artist who came up with the Star Trek inspired posters. His store is here:
dang. i really want that UP poster.
There are some Up posters here:
although unfortunately not that particular one.
I want the UP poster, too.
I already have all three Star Wars posters from Handz on Etsy. They rule. Right now I'm fascinated by these retro "propaganda" style videogame posters - http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/posters/de7f/
These are so awesome :3
Ron Burgundy! ahahaha!! That's the BEST.

What does the temperature have to be to hit with the 2014 RIP-IT AIR Elite BBCOR?
The 2014 RIP-IT AIR Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1403E) will not have a temperature limit. All RIP-IT bats can be used in all temperatures.
What is the difference between the 2014 and 2015 versions besides the obvious cosmetic changes?
Other than the cosmetic differences the 2015 RIP-IT AIR Elite uses R3 Composite in the handle and R3 Alloy in the barrel where as the 2014 RIP-IT AIR Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1403E) uses the R2 Composite and the R2 Alloy.
Which BBCOR bat would have better performance: The 2014 Rip-IT Air Elite or the 2015 RIP-IT Air?
The 2014 RIP-IT AIR Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1403E) and the RIP-IT Air are both quality bats and it depends on what type of hitter you are to determine which bat is better. The Air Elite has a two-piece design and is typically better for contact hitters. The Air has a stiffer one-piece design and works well for power hitters.
Product Description
New for 2014! Last season, a revolution was born when RIP-IT introduced their AIR Technology to BBCOR bats. That revolution was built on SPEED, BALANCE, and POWER. This season, RIP-IT takes it to a whole other level with BBCOR AIR Elite. The TWO-PIECE design of the RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite is constructed from an R2 Alloy barrel and R2 Composite handle, giving it even better balance for even faster bat speed. The BBCOR AIR Elite also features RIP-IT's Rifle Barrel Technology. This technological advancement removes weight from the barrel without reducing the overall wall thickness of the bat - keeping durability intact. This is achieved by cutting precise grooves inside the barrel, resulting in dramatically lower M.O.I. and increasing bat speed. The BBCOR AIR Elite also features an Acoustic Barrel design that channels and amplifies specific performance frequencies to give players a beautiful "ping" sound when good contact is made. Down towards the handle you'll find a Contact Grip that is designed for incredible vibration reduction and extreme durability. RIP-IT is so confident that you'll love this bat, they're offering a 30 Day Love It or Return It performance guarantee. If you don't love your new BBCOR AIR Elite, simply send it back to RIP-IT within 30 days for a full refund. You've got nothing to lose. RIP-IT: Speed Matters! This bat is BBCOR Certfied and legal for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Physics Prof. Donald J. Bord named interim provost at UM-Dearborn
May 29, 2008
DEARBORN / May 29, 2008---Donald J. Bord, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, will serve a one-year term as interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs of the campus beginning July 1, pending approval by the U-M Regents.
Susan W. Martin, current provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at UM-Dearborn, will become president of Eastern Michigan University at the end of June.
Don Bord is a truly distinguished scholar who has also served the campus in a number of senior administrative roles over the years, UM-Dearborn Chancellor Daniel Little said in announcing the appointment.
Before making this appointment, I talked with more than two dozen faculty members, and it is clear that Bord has earned profound respect and support among his colleagues for his research, teaching and service to the campus, Little said. He will provide strong leadership in this role, and we are grateful that he is willing to take it on.
The campus will begin a search for its next provost in the next several weeks.
Bord joined the UM-Dearborn faculty in 1984 as associate professor and was promoted to professor in 1992. He served eight years as chair of the physics discipline, and was chair of the Department of Natural Sciences from 1990-93. He has twice served as associate dean of the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters and was interim dean of CASL in 1999.
Bord also has been involved in faculty governance issues and was elected to serve on the U-M Senate Assembly and the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs. In 2003, Bord received U-Ms Jackie Lawson Award in recognition of his service to faculty governance at a University-wide level.
His research focuses on the abundance of heavy and rare-earth elements in chemically peculiar stars, and Bord has published numerous articles in scholarly journals. He also is the author of an introductory physics textbook now in its sixth edition.
Most recently, Bord has led efforts to install a new observatory on the top of the campuss Science Learning and Research Center, including a 16-inch telescope and auxiliary instrumentation funded through a $144,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. To take advantage of the new observing facilities, Bord has developed plans to expand the campuss astronomy curriculum to include a minor program, as well as enhanced public outreach programming in collaboration with Henry Ford Community College.

Rated 5 out of 5 by brodyjw from Purchased w/o benefit of reviews to read, I WON! I bought these without any reviews to go by and am very happy that I did, These have been comfortable from the first time I put them on. I needed a shoe which provided a more stable platform as my vision has decreased and my tennis shoes seemed wobbly to me anymore. I have a much firmer feeling now while walking - no more unsteadiness. I recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a comfortable and stable walking shoe. 12 hrs first day was no problem! I also think they're handsome - I've had two complements on these shoes and I can't recall having had a complement on any shoe previously - sans some really expensive dress shoes that cost several hundred dollars a pair, Buy these - you'll be happy you did - I am!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Trevor from Great Buy These shoes have been very comfortable. I'm a college professor and I'm standing and going places all day. I had two pairs of Bass shoes in the past two year both of which weren't nearly as comfortable and the soul split in both. Some of my of colleagues have Rockports and really enjoy them as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ironhand from You can stand in these all day and never know it. As a special education teacher I am on my feet from 7:30 until 3:30 everyday. I have worn Rockport(s) for years and by far this pair of shoes out performs any I have worn before. The fatigue is gone, I don't need to 'plan' to sit down. I bought the black pair and would have ordered a pair in brown if they came in my size. I recommend these shoes.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 5, 2010)—Blue Chagall rallied to win for the first time over the Hollywood Park turf course, capturing the $59,150 Riot in Paris Stakes Friday.
Due to a rash of surprises at Churchill Downs on the first day of the Breeders' Cup, there will be a Pick Six carryover of $817,642 Saturday at the Louisville, Ky. Track.
The Breeders' Cup Pick Six begins in the $1 million Turf Sprint. Post time for the Turf Sprint is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. The Pick Six concludes with the $5 million Classic, featuring Zenyatta's attempt to remain undefeated in her 20th start. Post time for the Classic is 3:45 p.m.
A 5-year-old Testa Rosa gelding out of the Pitskelly mare Eloisey, Blue Chagall was 0-for-5 on the local grass before kicking away late from Averoo and four others.
Trained by Julio Canani for Prestonwood Racing LLC, Blue Chagall, the 7-5 favorite, ran the mile in 1:34.20 under jockey Corey Nakatani.
Content to bide his time saving ground while Classical Slew and 9-5 second choice Muny argued the pace, Blue Chagall split horses entering the stretch and powered home for his sixth lifetime victory. The French bred has earned $324,286 in 25 starts.
In winning for the second time in nine 2010 tries, Blue Chagall paid $4.80, $3 and $2.20.
Making his first appearance in the United States for Hronis Racing LLC and trainer John Sadler, Averoo finished willingly after trailing early and returned $6.60 and $3.60. He finished 1 ¼ lengths behind the winner and 2 ¼ lengths in front of Muny. The show price on Muny was $2.20.
Red Door Drive, Trumpet Player Jay and Classical Slew completed the order of finish.
Post time locally when racing resumes Saturday is 11:15 a.m.
Hollywood Park's gates will open at 8 a.m. The first race from Churchill Downs is 9:05 a.m. The first Breeders' Cup race – the Juvenile Turf – is scheduled for 10:50 a.m.
There will be a drawing – for Gold Cup members – for Zenyatta memorabilia between each of the live races.
