Student Show Announcement - Help Needed
We need 20 more people to scribe for the Student Show and 2-3 runners to help coordinate between the juror/scribes and show staff.
The Student Show Judging will occur on Friday, August 6th and we need a scribe for every judge. The role of the scribe is to record the comments of the jurors, which gives you great insight from the judges. The judging forms have been improved to make the job easier and those who have scribed previously rave about the opportunities and education they received.
Hope to see you there, networking with your fellow classmates, and getting to know possible job contacts. If you can serve as a scribe, please RSVP on the submittal link located under the upcoming events (and below) by filling in the second half of the form. Hope to see you there! Thanks!

Panel Discussion: A Sense of Community and its Identity Under SB 375...
Pasadena + Foothill Chapter of the American Institute of Architects Presents a Panel Discussion:A Sense of Community and Its Identity Under SB 375: Trends, Issues, Concerns + Opportunities Surrounding SB 375(New Land-Use, Housing, and Transportation Polices at the Community Level) Two (2) AIA CEUs for Health + Safety, One (1) AIA CEU for Sustainability When + Where + RegisterSaturday, March 6, 2010, in Sierra Madre, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM (Please See Program Schedule on Back) Location: Sierra Madre Congregational Church, 170 West Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra Madre, CA 91024-2435 An Eight-Dollar ($8.00) donation for a Continental Breakfast, will be appreciatedSo we can accommodate everyone who wishes to attend, please register at: www.aiapf.org Or, please e-mail Scott Young at: scott@restore2green.com Please Put into the Subject Line: SB 375 Panel
SB 375 (September 2008) has been referred to by a few as the “Anti-Sprawl Bill”, or by others as the, “Sustainable Communities Strategies Act”. Either name an individual decides upon, the objective behind SB 375 is to encourage communities to develop land-use, housing, and transportation strategies that work within their particular built environment objectives, while also reducing the amount of green house gas (GHG) emissions produced by cars and light trucks. A key component, within SB 375, for the public, community groups, architects, engineers, city planners, administrators, and local government officials to keep in mind, is that individual communities and sub-regions will be given specific GHG emission reduction targets – they will not be given directives on how to meet their specific target. In other words, individual communities or sub-regions have an opportunity to collaborate, and to participate in, the decision processes that relate to and ultimately determine their local or sub-regional land-use, housing, and transportation policies. Simply stated, under SB 375, a community has an opportunity to maintain its influence over its unique identity. Our Moderator: Julianna Delgado, M.Arch, PhD, AICP, Assoc. Professor, Dept. of Urban and Regional Planning, Cal Poly Pomona Our Panel Members: Martin Wachs, PhD, RAND Corporation, Director of Transportation, Space, and Technology Michael K.

Theodore Payne Foundation Citizen Scientists Needed
Citizen Scientists Needed! Barnsdall Art Exhibit! Late January/Early February Classes!
January 28, 2010
· TPF at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery in Barnsdall Park!
· Oaks of Southern California, with Rebecca Latta
· Design Fundamentals: Wet-to-Dry Native Garden Design, with Cassy Aoyagi
· Native Plant Garden Maintenance, with Barbara Eisenstein
· Propagating Native Plants, with Louise Gonzalez & Brendan Galipeau
· NEW! Gardeners' Roundtable
· Chumash Healing with Native Plants, with Cecilia Garcia and James D. Adams
Friend of Theodore Payne,
At the University of California, Santa Barbara, Susan Mazer, PhD., and Brian Haggerty, M.S., have developed the Phenology Stewardship Program, and they need our help. Having designed a program to collect data on the occurrence of events and patterns in the natural world, they need citizen scientists to collect data from their local environments and enter it on this website: www.usanpn.org (U.S.A. National Phenology Network).
Phenology is the science that measures the timing of life cycle events in plants, animals, and microbes, and detects how the environment influences the timing of those events. In the case of flowering plants, these life cycle events, or phenophases, include leaf budburst, first flower, last flower, first ripe fruit, and leaf shedding, among others. Phenophases commonly observed in animals include molting, mating, egg-laying or birthing, fledging, emergence from hibernation, and migration (from Phenology Field Guide for Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve and the central California coast, by Brian P. Haggerty and Susan J. Mazer, U.C.S.B., 2008). Please visit the website www.usanpn.org to learn how to identify phenophases, and then enter whatever changes you observe in your garden or local area. Data about the phenophases of native plants is most helpful, but data about non-native plants is also useful.
Thanks!
TPF at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery in Barnsdall Park!
The Theodore Payne Foundation is taking part in the exhibit, "Actions, Conversations & Intersections and Ideational Architectures" at Barnsdall Park, from January 28 to April 18, 2010. The event is billed as "an exhibition of participatory-based art with interactive components that change weekly... a dynamic and performative interchange blurring the boundaries between visitors, artists and cultural producers. " Stop by the Gallery and take part!
The Gallery is open Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., and is located at 4800 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90027.
