'Not Abe,' ADL Head Pursues Same Goals, But With New Style
Jonathan Greenblatt focusing on social media to reach younger Jews.
In late December, Jonathan Greenblatt, who assumed the professional helm of the Anti-Defamation League last summer, wrote a blog post highly critical of Iran. He described the country as "one of the world's leading human rights violators" and pointed out that "if anything, Iran has stepped up its abuses in recent months." (The ADL opposed the Iran deal.)
Robert Sugarman, former national chair of ADL, says that when he congratulated the new exec on the essay, Greenblatt said he suspected that some of his former White House colleagues might not be pleased with what he wrote. Indeed, that might apply to Greenblatt's most recent boss, President Obama, whom he served as special assistant for three years before coming to the ADL.
But as Greenblatt told me during a series of recent interviews, "there," referring to the White House, "I was working for the president. Here, I am working for the Jewish people."
Time will tell which is the tougher taskmaster.

Greenblatt, who was director of the office of social innovation and civic participation at the White House, observed that "it was a 24/7 environment, and grueling at times." But leading a legendary Jewish defense agency now in its second century, and succeeding the iconic Abraham Foxman, who in his five-decade tenure (28 as national director) embodied the institution and became one of the most recognizable Jews in the world, is surely a daunting task.
Greenblatt, though, at 45, and just six months into national Jewish organizational life, seems self-assured. While observers look for signs that might reflect a dramatic shift in the ADL's focus, given the three-decade age gap between Greenblatt and Foxman, and their very different backgrounds, those who have worked closely with both men suggest otherwise.
"Jonathan is perfectly comfortable saying he is not Abe, and that he won't be the same as Abe in the job," Sugarman said. "He reflects a different generation and his social media skills are a real plus going forward. But I believe the direction of the ADL will not change. He is totally committed to our mission."
Ken Jacobson, deputy national director who has been with ADL 45 years, the last 35 of them working closely with Foxman, noted that with Greenblatt, "the fundamentals are the same, the style is different. Abe went with his instincts and he was usually right. Jonathan makes decisions based on a process of strategic thinking. He is very capable, creative, and a natural in working with and attracting younger people. "
Jacobson's advice to Greenblatt is to "build on our legacy" in bringing the ADL's work into "a new and more complex world."
Some believe there will be less focus at ADL on Israel, given Foxman's strong emphasis on the subject. But insiders point out that while a high percentage of ADL public comments and press releases in recent years have dealt with Israel advocacy issues, only a small percentage of the budget goes for Israel programming. It's but one example of the kind of scrutiny being applied to ADL as it goes through its first transition at the top in three decades.
"There is nothing to indicate" any less emphasis on Israel today, Foxman told me. "Jonathan comes with his own wealth of experiences, and his background and sensitivities will serve him well," he said. "He is smart, he is committed and he is attuned to the business world," he added, noting that Greenblatt has an MBA degree.
His title, in addition to national director, is CEO — a first for the ADL.
For his part, Greenblatt acknowledged that he is honored and humbled to follow Foxman. "Abe is truly remarkable," he said. "The community was well served by his leadership, and I am the better for his counsel."
Implicit in the ADL lay leadership's unanimous choice of Greenblatt was a recognition that they could not duplicate an Abe Foxman — a child of the Holocaust driven by his personal experience — to head the organization at a time of global interconnectedness, instant technology and ever-present social media. So they chose a successor who combined a commitment to Jewish community and peoplehood with an expertise in new ways to communicate with his generation.
'Personal Roots' In ADL
Sitting in his spacious Midtown office, Greenblatt spoke with passion and precision of how he hopes to advance the ADL's core mission — combat anti-Semitism, protect Israel and promote fair treatment for all — in part by utilizing a range of 21st-century skills, with an emphasis on social innovation and entrepreneurship.
"Even as we look ahead," he said, "I am better for having a reverence for the past and learning from it."
He began by pointing out that his "long, personal roots to the ADL" go back almost 25 years to "the formative experience" he had in 1991 that launched his adult path to help repair the world.
That year, while studying abroad as a 20-year-old college student, Greenblatt visited Germany, which his paternal grandfather fled, and Hungary, the homeland of maternal family members. Many relatives on both sides of his family perished in the Holocaust.
"Traveling alone, I went to Dachau," he recalled. "I visited the old Jewish ghetto in Prague. I saw the reality of what happened and it inspired me to do something about anti-Semitism, which had never seemed as real to me as when I was there."
Moved by his European experience, Greenblatt returned to Tufts University for his senior year "determined to make a difference," he said, "to fight anti-Semitism and to serve my people." He called the ADL regional office in Boston, seeking an internship. He was told there was no internship program, but Lenny Zakim, the legendary executive director, created one for him — and inspired him to set his sights on transformational change.
Greenblatt said Zakim, a civil rights and interfaith activist who died of cancer at 46 in 1999, taught him to combat anti-Semitism and racism and "to seek coalitions and foster intergroup relations."
Those lessons have been with Greenblatt ever since, during an impressive and eclectic career that has included politics and public service at the highest level, teaching at a top university, launching and running successful businesses and incorporating charitable giving into the process.
Briefly, he worked on Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in Little Rock, Ark., and then served in the White House and the Commerce Department, working on international economic policy.
In 2002, Greenblatt co-founded Ethos Water, a bottled-water company that donated part of its profits to provide free water for children in developing nations. Starbucks bought the company, and Greenblatt became vice president of global consumer products, working to provide clean water to poor countries around the world.
He went on to found All For Good, an open-source platform that offered volunteer opportunities, and he served as CEO of Good Worldwide, which included a publishing company that Greenblatt broadened into a diversified media organization.
In 2011, after teaching social entrepreneurship at UCLA's School of Management, he took the Obama White House post, thinking that afterwards he would go back to California and the private sector, perhaps to a career combining investments and teaching.
But when approached about the prospect of heading ADL, he was intrigued, in part because of his own — and his wife's — experience with and admiration for ADL. (Greenblatt met his wife, the former Marjan Keypour, when she was working for the ADL office in Los Angeles. A Harvard graduate, she is a native of Iran who escaped after the Islamic Revolution, first to Paris, and then, with the help of HIAS, to the U.S.)
So fighting anti-Semitism and advocating for human rights is "not just an intellectual pursuit," Greenblatt told ADL's national leadership on first being introduced as Foxman's successor. "It's personal for me, a deeply held value, one that has been seared into my soul."
Flair And Substance
As an example of Greenblatt's business-oriented style and skill set, one of his first initiatives at ADL last summer emphasized social media and collaboration. In his first weeks on the job, he announced #50States Against Hate, an effort launched online in August, in the wake of the Charleston church killings. Its focus is on the remaining five states — Wyoming, Indiana, Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina — that do not have hate-crime laws. In a collaborative effort, ADL partnered with 30 nonprofit organizations, including the NAACP and a variety of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Latino and Asian groups.
In a recent blog post Greenblatt noted that as part of an effort to "re-energize" the "frayed" black-Jewish alliance, he chose to hold his first ADL "leadership retreat" of top professional staff and lay leaders last month in the American South "rather than hunker down near our headquarters in Manhattan." The group gathered in Atlanta, visiting Rev. Martin Luther King's Ebenezer Baptist Church, then went on to Montgomery and Selma, where they walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the same one MLK marched across 50 years ago.
Participants said the retreat displayed both Greenblatt's flair and substance, giving a renewed emphasis to the core cause of human rights and racial justice.
"I believe in institutions and in finding ways to do our work better," ways that resonate with the current generation, Greenblatt said. He noted ADL's longstanding approach of combining the universal and the particular, fighting anti-Semitism and advocating for all forms of civil rights. "We do best for ourselves when we're there for others, and vice versa," he said. "That dual approach speaks to a bold, brave mission."
Making Israel's case today is more complicated than in the past, he acknowledged, and requires more sophistication. "Anti-Semitism is very real now," he said, particularly in parts of Europe and South America. And Israel, he said, is the proxy for much of the hatred of Jews. "Make no mistake — anti-Zionism is anti-Israel. Period."
He acknowledged that "we have work to do to better connect with the next generation." His description of what is needed reveals Greenblatt's blend of ideology and business acumen: "It's about adopting and harnessing the technologies available to us, adapting to the times, and delivering our fact-based, reasoned approach in a cost-effective way that drives for the highest rate of return."
Greenblatt bemoaned the lack of civility within our community when it comes to disagreeing about Israel, seen most notably during the debate over the Iran nuclear deal. "When Jews attack other Jews," he said, "the anti-Semites win." He characterized ADL as "at the forefront of an approach that is reasoned but relentless, temperate but tenacious, fact-based but ferocious, tempered but not timid." (I couldn't tell if his string of powerful alliterations was spontaneous or memorized; either way it was impressive.)
In discussion, one senses Greenblatt's frustration with an Israeli government that has become increasingly isolated internationally for its policies regarding the Palestinians. Publicly he stresses the importance for ADL to be "an effective advocate for Israel" while "holding it to a high standard" of democracy.
Several times he mentioned how fortunate he feels to be doing the work he now does. He spoke of his commitment to see the ADL continue and thrive, recognizing the need to inspire as well as inform. "We are well served by facts," he said, "but facts aren't enough. Our work requires the force of personality."
Just what will that personality be like going forward?
Remarkably, for the last three decades the ADL, with its hundreds of professional and lay leaders and large network of regional and international offices, was synonymous with one man, Abe Foxman. Greenblatt doesn't appear to aspire to that model. He emits a low-key confidence, and a deeply thoughtful, collaborative manner. How his approach plays out in the future could have a major impact not only on the ADL but on the next generation of American Jews in how they relate to anti-Semitism, Israel and social justice for all.

What is hiding
"Everything that is visible, hides something that is invisible."
— Rene Magritte
Writing Coach, Editor, and Writer
My name is Steve Adams. I'm a writing coach, editor, and award-winning author.
As a writing coach I've worked with published, award-winning novelists, short-fiction writers, and nonfiction writers; unpublished but dedicated and experienced writers; and those new to the game who have always believed they had something to say, but didn't know quite how or where to begin.
My many years of writing and analyzing a broad range of forms (fiction, essay, playwriting, screenwriting, poetry) give me structural insight into manuscript evaluation, and my study of, and in-depth exposure to, music, acting, dance, theater arts, and visual arts affords me a varying set of perspectives from which to approach the process of writing and the disciplines that support art. I find coaching writers a form of work almost as rewarding as writing itself.

Picking the right clothes is tough but matching the right accessories with it is tougher. To decide which bag with go with the outfit takes hours. There are over 25 types of handbags like wristlets, evening bags, backpacks, sling bags, hobo bags, bucket bags etc. designed for different occasions, which make it really confusing what to choose. To make things a bit easier, here are four bags that every lady should have in her closet.
Cross Body Bag
These popular bags are of medium size in which you can carry all your essentials without any trouble. They are a must for every modern woman. As they are worn across the body, they are very convenient to carry. Lots of varieties and colours are available in it but if you want only one, go for a medium size in a neutral colour like black, brown or white. These can be worn anytime of the day.
Oversized Bag
These types of bags are great for travelling if you are going out with kids or if you are a working woman. As they are large in size, you can fit anything and everything in it. This is the kind of bag, which you will be using in everyday life like going to grocery store, office or market, so look for a good quality product. The cheap ones will fall apart quickly as the usage is more. Just keep in mind that it's not an evening bag. Oversized are normally casual ones.
Small bags are dressy ones. Clutches come under this category. Never go to a formal event with a bag slung over your shoulder. Again they are available in variety of shapes and sizes. Go for one, which is big enough to carry your license, credit card, lipstick and some money. Choose a versatile colour, which goes with most of your dressy clothes. You can wear these to weddings and formal events.
Tote bag
This is the cheapest and most casual of all four. Use it on those days when you need to tote around. A lot of variety is available with cute and naughty sayings, funny patterns and lovely artworks. There is absolutely no rule for choosing them. You can pick anything that's appealing as it is for times when you are super casual. You can wear it for casual lunch with friends or while going on picnic. Also you can carry it when going to neighbourhood grocery shop or just idling away your time with friends.
The right purse is a great outfit completer. Never ever underestimate the value of carrying the right kind of bag as it can make or break your look. They are the lexicons of style and so be very careful in choosing them.

You can be certain that all of the fashionable homeless in Colorado will wear Tim Tebow jerseys this fall, because the new hot-ticket item will be Peyton Manning's freshly minted No. 18 Broncos jersey. But Handsome Hank of the "Dave Dameshek Football Program" raised an interesting question (via Twitter): Will Manning's new Broncos jersey outsell Tebow's jersey for his expected new team?
While we debate that, I have six suggestions for Broncos fans who want to recycle their Tebow jerseys. And you should -- it's not like Tebow was replaced by Kyle Boller. I love ironic jerseys as much as the next guy -- my personal Chargers jersey is a Rodney Harrison jersey. But you can't wear the Tebow jersey to Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
And without further ado ...
Eastern Colorado has farmland all the way to Kansas (you see this at the end of the original "Red Dawn"), so this would be the perfect use. But here's the bad news: If you have some savvy birds that recognize it's a Tebow jersey, they will become very brazen and creep up, because they know Tebow can't hit anything from more than 10 yards away.
Car-seat cover
If you've ever purchased an automobile from John Elway's Scion dealership in Manhattan Beach, Calif., you know that you'll probably need to reupholster your car seat at some point. What could be more stylish than a Tebow jersey? It's even better if you have an old Kyle Orton or Brady Quinn jersey to put on the passenger seat.
Snuggie for a small child
The cool thing about children is that they're all dopes. So not a single one of them will notice their new Snuggie really is just a Tebow jersey cut from the back -- much in the same way people don't realize the Snuggie really is just a bathrobe in reverse.
Prayer pillow
If you're into crafts, you can rework a Tebow jersey into a bag, quilt or, yes, a prayer pillow. And let's be honest: Broncos fans will need it when they watch Peyton Manning in the playoffs. And from there, they can rework it into a crying towel.
Halloween costume
Old jerseys are great for Halloween costumes. This one is especially for Elway, who could delight his friends by showing up to a Halloween party wearing a Tebow jersey and throwing a football with his left hand -- better than Tebow, of course.
Be glad it's just a jersey
Because it could be worse. Worse. Or much, much worse.
There's three minutes you'll never get back. Tell Rank about it via Twitter or via Facebook. Also be sure to catch the latest on the "Dave Dameshek Football Program."

Nothing in her evangelical upbringing prepared Laura Watkins for John Piper.
"I was used to a very conversational preaching style," said Watkins, 21. "And having someone wave his arms and talk really loudly made me a little scared."
Watkins shouldn't be embarrassed. Piper does scare some people. It's probably his unrelenting intensity, demanding discipline, and singular passion—for the glory of God. Those themes resound in Desiring God, Piper's signature book. The pastor for preaching and vision at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis has sold more than 275,000 copies of Desiring God since 1986. Piper has personally taken his message of "Christian hedonism" to audiences around the world, such as the Passion conferences for college-age students. Passion attracted 40,000 students outside Memphis in 2000 and 18,000 to Nashville earlier this year.
Not all of these youth know Piper's theological particulars. But plenty do, and Piper, more than anyone else, has contributed to a resurgence of Reformed theology among young people. You can't miss the trend at some of the leading evangelical seminaries, like Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, which reports a significant Reformed uptick among students over the past 20 years. Or the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, now the largest Southern Baptist seminary and a Reformed hotbed. Piper, 60, has tinged the movement with the God-exalting intensity of Jonathan Edwards, the 18th-century Puritan pastor-theologian. Not since the decades after his death have evangelicals heaped such attention on Edwards.
Reformed theology often goes by the name Calvinism, after the renowned 16th-century Reformation theologian John Calvin. Yet even ...1

Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson
On Chandice Cronk's performance
"In the second overtime, Chandice was not only making the big shots for us, but she was taking it a step further by doing such a phenomenal job of running her defender off of screens."
On the team bouncing back from USF's comeback attempt:
"I told the team that we needed stops. San Francisco got to the point where they were making big shots as well, and I felt like we weren't making them work hard for their shots. So we put all of our focus on the defensive end and rebounding."
On the defensive performance late in regulation and in overtime:
"Our defense really came through in the clutch for us in the end. It was important for us to play tough defense without fouling, and I thought we did just that. Sara Majors really gave us great minutes on a defensive assignment that she had tonight."
Guard Chandice Cronk
On the team's shooting heating up late:
"Teams are focusing a lot on our three-point shooting in conference play, so now we're just trying to find different ways to score. Tracey's layup late in regulation and Anna's three in the first overtime showed how we can rely on anyone at any time to hit the big shot for us."
On the team staying up despite USF's comeback:
"It's always harder to hold a lead than it is to play from behind. Especially in the second overtime we did a great job of getting stops and hitting shots when we needed to."
On her performance:
"It feels great. The team gets me the ball and has the confidence in me to shoot, so it feels good to know that."
Guard Tracey Walker
On the team's defensive performance:
"Our defense was a major factor tonight, every stop that we got was crucial, and that's what helped carry us to the win."
On the scoring balance:
"Everyone played their role really well. Last year, we had Michelle [Cozad], someone we knew was going to take over late in games, but this year since we have so many weapons, teams can't just put their best defender on our top scorer. We trust everyone to hit the big shot when it comes time, and we did that tonight."

Tesla to Choose Nevada for Battery Factory
State Likely Offered Large Incentives to Lure $5 Billion Plant
Tesla Motors Inc. is expected to choose a site in Nevada for its proposed up to $5 billion battery factory and could disclose the move on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the electric auto maker's plans.
State officials scheduled a news conference at 4 p.m. Thursday in Carson City to announce the plant. Nevada likely offered Tesla one of the largest incentive packages in the history of the U.S. auto industry to lure the factory to a state with relatively little presence in automotive manufacturing....

Britney Spears Responds to Katy Perry's 2014 MTV VMAs Denim Dressby Maggie Malach | PopCrush
At the 2014 MTV VMAs last night (Aug. 24), Katy Perry brought some major nostalgia with her red carpet dress! The singer and her date Riff Raff channeled Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's iconic all-denim outfits from the 2001 American Music Awards.
Katy initially teased the look on Twitter, telling fans, "I must admit my outfit is a result of my love for nostalgia and my tumblr addiction #THISISHOWWEDOVMAS."
And in case anyone had any questions, the singer added, "WE'RE GOIN FOR DA BEST WORST DRESSED TODAY."
All eyes were on Katy as she arrived the at VMAs red carpet with Riff Raff, wearing a patchwork strapless denim dress that is unmistakably a nod to Brit's look for 13 years ago. As Twitter revealed, the reference was actually a result of a challenge Britney gave Katy:
@katyperry You're up next. #Noexcuses. You have 24 hours to do your best impression.
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) August 23, 2014
.@katyperry Just when I thought the denim dress had retired….you bring it back! You looked amazing tonight bb 😉
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) August 25, 2014
While Katy's look wasn't our favorite fashion moment of the night (after all, Brit and JT are still panned for their original denim-on-denim outfits), we give the singer major points for having fun. She totally owned that dress!
And, speaking of all things Blue, Katy also achieved one of our life goals — acknowledgement from Blue Ivy Carter:

West Ham ended a run of five straight Premier League away defeats as Jack Collison's strike secured them all three points here. Sam Allardyce, the Hammers manager, later described it as "a fantastic and well-deserved victory".
But Stoke's Tony Pulis was annoyed that Collison's goal was allowed. He claimed that West Ham's Andy Carroll had impeded Ryan Shawcross in the buildup. "We should have had a free-kick," Pulis insisted.
In a first half of few chances, the Hammers defender James Collins' header clipped the bar before Collison netted in stoppage time. It proved to be the winner, with the Potters' substitute Charlie Adam going close in added time at the end of the game by cracking a volley against the bar. The hosts' protests that Guy Demel had handled in the area were then waved away by the referee, Jonathan Moss.
The result – only the second home league loss for Stoke this season – means that West Ham move up to 12th, level on points with their opponents, who are now 11th.
The Hammers made a less than ideal start to the match, having to make two substitutions within the first 11 minutes. Matt Taylor took a boot in the face as Peter Crouch attempted an overhead kick and was down for some time before heading down the tunnel in the 10th minute, with Collison coming on in his place. Moments later Joe Cole also departed the field having picked up an injury, the midfielder being replaced by Ricardo Vaz Té.
The contest was struggling to spark into life, with Andy Carroll seeing a shot deflected and the ball cleared away, and Crouch sending a tame effort bouncing through to Jussi Jaaskelainen at the other end.
Soon after, Steven Nzonzi, wearing a protective mask after breaking his nose at Fulham last weekend, was caught in the face by Carroll's arm as the pair jumped together for a header.
Nzonzi, who had appeared wound up at Craven Cottage after sustaining the injury from a collision with Dimitar Berbatov, seemed less than impressed once again.
West Ham looked to be responding well following their early disruption and they went close in the 25th minute as Collins looped a flicked header on to the bar.
Collison then unleashed a shot from outside the box straight at Asmir Begovic, before Carroll leapt in front of goal, only to direct his header well wide.
Gary O'Neil was next to complain of being caught in the face, claiming Cameron Jerome had raised his hand to him as the ball went out for a throw-in, but Moss was unmoved.
The Hammers continued to look the more likely to open the scoring and with seconds of the first half remaining, they managed to do it as their two substitutes combined.
Having attempted to play a one-two with Carroll and had the ball come back to him as the England striker was tackled by Shawcross, Vaz Té slipped a pass in for Collison, who turned and drilled a shot beyond Asmir Begovic.
Stoke appealed for a penalty early in the second half after Jerome went down in the area under the attentions of Joey O'Brien, but Moss waved for play to continue.
Soon after, Matt Jarvis collected another Vaz Té through-ball and saw his shot saved by the legs of Begovic. Crouch then brought a stop out of Jaaskelainen with a low attempt.
Crouch had penalty claims of his own – which replays suggested were somewhat ambitious – ignored, before Tony Pulis looked to shake things up, bringing off Michael Kightly, Jon Walters and Glenn Whelan for Brek Shea, Kenwyne Jones and Adam.
Vaz Té tried to carve out the space to shoot in the box but was unable to do so, and Stoke then almost snatched a dramatic equaliser as Adam rifled a volley against the goalframe in stoppage time.
Even deeper into the additional time, the Potters cried out for a handball against Demel, but Moss said no as West Ham held on.

VALDOSTA, Ga. - It took a two-hole playoff, but the No. 8 Georgia College & State University golf squad was finally upended by No. 6 Nova Southeastern University at the Southeastern Collegiate, hosted by No. 15 Valdosta State University.
The Bobcats led the first two rounds on the par-72, 7,127-yard Kinderlou Forest Golf Club course. For the three rounds, the Bobcats fired an eight under 856 (285-283-288). After both teams shot even par on the first playoff hole, the Sharks shot one-under on the second hole to grab the win.
Junior Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden) led Georgia College for the fifth-straight tournament, taking third overall for the third-straight. Johansson carded a 70-71-71=212 at four-under, two strokes off the lead.
Junior Pedro C. Lima (Sao Paulo, Brazil) had his best finish since taking fifth at the Raines Intercollegiate in the fall. Lima finished two-under in eighth (72-69-73=214). Sophomore Billy Shida (Berkeley Lake, Ga.) finished strong with a pair of 71s after an opening 73 to take 13th with a cumulative 215.
Sophomore Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) and junior Francisco Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina/El Diamante (Calif.)) just missed the top-20 at 27th. Bide trimmed a stroke off yesterday's effort (72-74-73=219) while Young had better efforts in the first two days (71-72-76=219).
The Bobcats' runner-up spot matches last year's finish at this tournament. Host VSU's Brent Witcher led the tournament in all three rounds, struggling through a final round 73 to finish at six-under 210 (68-69-73).

Our Race Car/Street Car Finally Gets Clothes, And A Name: The Notso Special
It occurred to Editor Fortier and myself at a recent editorial meeting (yeah, we do actually get in the office and do serious magazine-type work, occasionally!) that this series of tech articles has no continuously running name, so, given that I'm English and back in the day race cars similar to this would have been referred to as "specials" over the pond, I'm gonna give it the working title of "The Notso Special". I can't take credit for the pun though—I borrowed the name from a car built by a member of the UK's Low Flyers back in the late '80s, though I suspect it had been used before that!
Up to this point in the build, it's been easier to get things done without the body panels being in the way, especially since, with a rollcage to contend with, access to the interior would be limited. However, I'd reached a point where in order to progress, I'd have to assemble the body. Yep, the pickup cab didn't come assembled, but it's not exactly the hardest of puzzles to solve, especially once the cowl is in place and square on the chassis. Of course, I'd already done this.
Now, if you've been following the build, or indeed, my other projects, you'll know I like to make things difficult for myself, so once the body was assembled, I cut the rear of it into pieces. The reason for this was to move the seats back into the pickup bed. I've built a Model A roadster in the past, and know I don't fit in one, and wanted to be as low and as comfortable as possible in this car, with plenty of legroom. This means, although I fully intend to drive the car on the street, it won't be legal for the SCTA Street Roadster Class with the modified body.
With that being the case, I figured I may as well take advantage of the aerodynamic aids offered by competing in Modified Roadster, especially given my choice of engine! As I've said before, you've got to build the car to fit the rule book. It's a long way to Bonneville just to be turned away on a technicality! Right, let's get on with assembling the body from Nostalgia Speed & Cycle, shall we?

Film Community Close-up: The Global Film Initiative/
At last week's full-bodied screening of Miss Lovely many attendees asked how did we find our Artist in Resident Ashim Ahluwalia and where is it possible to find more culturally diverse films (when it's not our festival season)? Both can be answered by our Miss Lovely co-presenter, The Global Film Initiative (GFI). Ashim was awarded funds through their granting program (reopening in May!) - which is specific to applicants with films from developing countries - and personally referred by GFI Director of Programs, Santhosh Daniel. To see more films like Miss Lovely, stay in tune with Global Lens, GFI's distribution series of award-winning feature films from around the world, and visit their Hulu page where select Global Lens films are currently streaming for FREE.
There's also one last Artist in Residence event to attend: Artist Talk: Ashim Ahluwalia, Tuesday, March 5, 5:00

Three organisations have joined forces today to put Eskom under new management. Together, groundWork, and Earthlife Africa JHB, and Greenpeace Africa have installed a new Eskom CEO, a new Stakeholder Engagement Director, and new Spokesperson. Eskom needs new management because it continues to fail the people of this country, prioritising coal power to the exclusion of every other option. Coal-fired power stations damage people's health, use staggering amounts of scarce water, accelerate climate change, and do not deliver affordable, accessible electricity to all South Africans. So from today Eskom is putting people first by:
Today, three campaigning organisations joined forces to put South Africa's energy utility, Eskom, under New Management. Activists confronted the utility to publicly highlight that Eskom has failed to deliver clean, affordable, accessible electricity to the people of this country, and demand a shift away from coal. The organisations installed New Management members Bobby Peek as the new Eskom CEO, Makoma Lekalakala as the new Eskom Stakeholder Engagement Director, and Melita Steele as the new Eskom Spokesperson.

How to Handle Cold and Flu Season
This time of year can be difficult for families, particularly if you're mom or dad! Feeling ill while trying to work, parent and tend to your home can be overwhelming. Be sure to try these doctor-recommended tricks to help you stay well.
Doctor-Recommended Remedies
It can be the most unwonderful time of the year if sniffles and sneezes are making the rounds in your house. In fact, adults contract an average of two to four colds per year, and women who have kids usually suffer from even more.
School-age children get up to 12 colds every year and are two to three times more likely than adults to come down with the flu. The good news is that you can steer clear of the season's under-the-weather blues by following a few simple yet effective strategies. Here, doctors share the symptom-soothing tricks that they use on their own families.
Quiet a Cough
Have a tea party. Warm drinks—like a cup of chamomile tea—help thin mucus, making you less likely to cough. "Tea also contains the chemical theophylline, which has a decongestant effect, opening up airways in the lungs and soothing irritation," says Jennifer Derebery, M.D., an ear, nose and throat specialist in Los Angeles who has teenage twins. Plus, you can add two teatime staples to your mug for extra cough-stopping power: honey, which fights bacteria, and lemon, an antioxidant powerhouse. (Be sure to avoid giving honey to children under the age of 3.)
Linger in the shower. The moisture from the steam helps reduce throat inflammation that may cause a barky, croupy cough or hoarseness. "It also loosens thick, dry mucus, easing congestion," says Laura Jana, M.D., a pediatrician in Omaha, Nebraska, and mother of three.
Raid the candy jar. A cough drop is the obvious Rx for a cough that just won't quit. Don't have one handy? Sucking on a piece of hard candy or a sugarless mint will help, too. "Anything in the mouth helps calm the cough reflex, which is caused by phlegm tickling the back of the throat," says Dr. Derebery.
Ask your doctor about an inhaler. If your cough lasts more than a week, your airways may have become hyperreactive, which is what happens to asthma sufferers. "Ask your doctor if a beta-agonist inhaler will help your symptoms," says Christine Laine, M.D., a clinical associate professor of medicine at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, who has two kids. Your doctor may prescribe you with an inhaler to use four times daily for a few days in a row. This may help calm the airways and stop the cough.
Soothe a Sore Throat
Put it on ice. Numb aching airways with cold beverages, frozen yogurt, or ice pops. "You may want to avoid juice, though, because it tends to be acidic and may sting a very sore throat," says Debra Goldenring, M.D., a pediatrician in Livingston, New Jersey, with two kids.
Pass the salt. Twice daily, mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a cup of warm water and gargle with it. "This helps draw fluid out of inflamed throat tissue," says Dr. Derebery. It should help the swelling go down, making your throat feel better. "The salt water may even wash away viruses and bacteria," she says.
Curb Congestion
Sip some soup. Mom knew best when she fixed you a bowl of steaming chicken noodle on a sick day. "Like all hot liquids, soup thins mucus in your airways, reducing stuffiness," says Sujana Chandrasekhar, M.D., an ear, nose and throat doctor in New York City and mother of four. But the sick-day standby may also have other infection-fighting abilities: A study from the University of Nebraska Medical Centers found that chicken vegetable soup reduces the activity of inflammatory white blood cells, called neutrophils, that can cause cold symptoms.
Spice up your diet. Forget about sticking to a bland diet when you're feeling under the weather. In fact, this is just the time to spice things up a bit. "Cayenne pepper, garlic and curry open clogged passageways and make breathing easier," says Dr. Chandrasekhar. So rediscover those spices hiding in the back of your kitchen cupboard, and add some zest to that pot of soup.
Spray away. "When you have a cold, your body releases inflammatory chemicals that can cause congestion and dripping," explains Dr. Derebery. If you're really stuffed up, use an over-the-counter decongestant nasal spray twice daily. Just make sure you don't use it for longer than five days or you could become dependent. Younger children may benefit from a simple saline nasal spray followed up by the use of a nasal aspirator.
Fight the Flu
Medicine matters. Achiness and fever are signs that your body is wrestling with a flu virus. "Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce inflammation," suggests Dr. Goldenring. You also need to get plenty of zzz's to strengthen your immune system, so opt for ibuprofen before bed—it typically lasts longer than acetaminophen. (Always check with your pediatrician before administering fever reducers and pain relievers to children under the age of 6.)
Get vaccinated. The best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu is with the vaccine. It takes about two weeks for your body to develop protective antibodies, so the sooner you get vaccinated the better (the best time is October to November, before cold and flu season is in full swing).To find a clinic near you, go to vaccinefinder.org.
Call your doc. If someone close to you has the flu and you suddenly experience symptoms, your physician may prescribe Tamiflu. It's an antiviral medicine that can shorten your illness if taken within 48 hours of symptom onset. See if your doctor will call in a prescription without having you visit the office to avoid spreading your germs. For more info about the flu visit cdc.gov/flu.
Ease Earaches
Opt for ibuprofen. "When you have a cold, ear pain is often due to a swollen eustachian tube (the passage that connects the back of the nose to the ear)," says Dr. Chandrasekhar. Nasal congestion is what makes the tube swell. Taking ibuprofen every six to eight hours will help reduce the pressure in the tube and relieve the pain. (Always check with your pediatrician before giving ibuprofen to children under the age of 6.)
Grab some chewing gum. Chew sugarless gum or blow up balloons several times a day to help open the eustachian tube. "Try gum that contains the ingredient xylitol—it has an antibacterial effect, so it may help prevent a secondary infection," says Dr. Derebery.
When to See a Doctor
While there's no cure for colds or the flu, both can turn into secondary infections that need treatment. See your physician if you or your kids experience any of the following cold and flu complications:
Cold Red Flags
- Your symptoms are worsening rather than improving after one week or have gotten no better after 10 days—you may be getting sinusitis.
- You have one dominant symptom like a sinus headache, ear pain, or a severe sore throat, which means you might have a bacterial infection that requires antibiotics.
- You develop a fever during the course of your cold, which might mean you have an infection.
Flu Red Flags
- Your cough is getting worse and becoming productive (and your phlegm is green, gray, or yellow)—signs of bronchitis.
- You have shortness of breath, pain when you cough or take a deep breath, and a fever over 102 degrees, which could indicate pneumonia.
- If you have a cold or flu and the symptoms wane but then return with much more strength and are accompanied by a fever, be sure to check in with your doctor. A recurrent respiratory flu accompanied by fever may be a sign of an H1N1 infection.
Natural Cures
Can a vitamin or herb stop a cold in its tracks? A growing body of research is shedding light on whether three popular remedies (vitamin C, zinc and echinacea) really work. Here's the real deal:
- Vitamin C: Research shows that while it won't prevent a cold, it may help reduce symptoms and shorten the duration by a half day or more, but you need to take it every day rather than at the onset of symptoms. Neil Schachter, M.D., author of The Good Doctor's Guide to Colds & Flu (HarperCollins) recommends taking 250 to 500mg of this vitamin when the first symptom hits and then daily for as long as you're ill. "It seems to help reduce mucus," he explains.
- Zinc: This essential mineral may prevent the virus from replicating, so your cold won't hit as hard or last as long. While zinc comes in a variety of forms, Dr. Schachter recommends taking lozenges—but make sure you don't have more than two per day. Pop one at the first sign of sickness and continue taking them for two to three days.
- Echinacea: One study found this herb may shorten cold suffering by half a day, but overall research shows mixed results. It's also difficult to compare studies because they use different concentrations from different sources. For now, Dr. Schachter doesn't recommend echinacea. "There's not much evidence that it's helpful," he says.
Name That Bug
Although colds and the flu share many pesky symptoms, including headache, sore throat and cough, there are some ways to tell them apart, says Dr. Schachter. Use the chart below to help you distinguish between the two winter bugs:
It's a Cold If...
- Your fever, if you have one, is low-grade (100 or 101 degrees).
- You sneeze and have a sore throat, then develop congestion and teary eyes.
- You feel significantly better after three or four days.
It's the Flu If...
- You develop a high fever—over 102 degrees.
- Symptoms (like body aches, chills and exhaustion) strike suddenly.
- Symptoms last four to five days, and you're too ill to go to work or children are unable to go to school.

Archaeological Sites
A number of federal and state laws protect Oregon's archaeological sites and cultural resources. Artifacts only need to be 75 years old to be considered an archaeological object in the State of Oregon (ORS 358.905- 358.955). Archaeological objects can include prehistoric items such as arrowheads, spear points, charcoal and human and non-human bones, but can also include historical objects such as brick, glass and miscellaneous metal. Even objects that appear to be trash can constitute a significant archaeological site if they meet certain criteria.
Pre-Construction Confirmation Testing in Columbia South Shore
Archaeological Resources Protection Plan for Columbia South Shore (aka, archaeological plan): The archaeological plan, adopted by City Council in 1996, consists of sample testing and protection of identified archaeological resources Archaeological Resource Protection requirements for land use planning are outlined in the Portland Zoning Code under 33.515.262. Maps 515-517 show areas of archaeological interest and areas where confirmation testing may be required before project construction. The boundaries of this area are generally between the Willamette River and NE 185th Ave. and north of NE Sandy and Columbia Blvd. to the Columbia River. See the Zoning Code chapter 33.515 for zoning information and maps.
Discovery During Course of Construction
Regardless of location, if you encounter artifacts during the course of construction, please do the following:
Non-Government Applicants
- If you encounter possible human remains you must contact 911. If you find artifacts that appear to be at least 75 years old, you should avoid the area of discovery and contact a professional archaeologist as soon as possible.
- Visit www.oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD/ARCH/ or call 503-986-0671 for more details, or assistance with finding qualified archaeologists.
City of Portland bureaus are instructed to observe state and federal discovery rules during project construction. The rules appear in sections 00290.50 and 00290.51 of the Standard Construction Specifications manual.
- Non-disclosure: The City of Portland adopted a policy to limit disclosure of archaeological site records. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is the official repository of archaeological site records. SHPO archaeologists provide education on cultural heritage issues, explain current state laws and regulations and help resolve potential conflicts involving development, scientific research, and the respectful treatment of archaeological resources. Visit http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/ARCH/ or call 503-986-0690 for more details or assistance.
- Federal funds and federal projects: Qualified archaeologists are hired by City infrastructure bureaus to assess the presence of archaeological sites in situations where federal funds are used to build projects and/or work on federal projects in the larger Columbia Corridor area.

The Latvian capital of Riga is famous for its striking and eye-catching Art Nouveau architecture that leaves a unique and lasting impression. The UNESCO-listed Old Town is juxtaposed with the modern old town, rebuilt in the 1990s after suffering heavy damage during World War II. Riga also attracts nightlife lovers, with its numerous eclectic and lively pubs and bars. Uncover the city's charms and vibrancy with this Finnair travel guide to Riga.
Sights in Riga
The Old Town forms the backbone of most tourists' itineraries in Riga, with its interesting architecture and statues. The Art Nouveau buildings are decorated with cats, angels, flowers and monsters; the 19th-century homes are full of detail and it takes more than one glance to absorb it all. Āgenskalns is another beautiful part of the city. Riga Cathedral is an impressive mix of different styles, and the 123-metre-high tower of the Gothic St. Peter's Church offers sweeping views over the city. Other landmarks include the Freedom Monument depicting the goddess of freedom, Milda, and the Riga Radio and TV Tower, which is the tallest free-standing structure in the European Union. The Museum of Occupation of Latvia, which exhibits Latvian history during the Nazi and Soviet occupation, is well worth a visit. Other museums include the Latvian Photographic Museum, the Museum of War, the Museum of the Barricades of 1991 and the Arsenal Museum of Art. Riga Zoo is often popular with children, and there are several parks where kids can run and play and adults can relax in the green outdoors. Bastejkalns Park is especially pleasant, with its Asian-style buildings and the Bridge of Love with its many love locks. The nearby beaches are perfect for sunny days; cross the Shroud Beach to Kipsala Island and spend a few hours relaxing. Riga's famous nightlife keeps going until the early hours of the morning and you'll find many bars and clubs throughout the Old Town. Alternatively, book an evening at the Latvian National Opera.
Things to See and Do Near Riga
- Jūrmala – With a long stretch of white-sand beach, pine trees, dunes and quaint wooden homes, this large Baltic resort town is a great day trip from Riga in the summer.
- Līgatne Nature Reserve – Enjoy hiking, canoeing and wildlife spotting in the summer months, and skiing during the winter. Creatures that call the area home include bison, deer, elk and lynx as well as many varieties of birds.
- Salaspils Concentration Camp Memorial Complex – A former Nazi concentration camp and a moving memorial today, step back in time and learn more about the effects of World War II in Latvia and pay your respects to those who perished.
Shopping in Riga
Riga has many small shops that sell an array of items, including traditional woollen socks and gloves as well as products made from amber.
- Riga Central Market – Located next to the international bus station, Riga Central Market is fascinating not only for its wide selection of goods but also for the fact that huge sections of the market have been built using old zeppelin hangars. There's also a large open area.
- Konventa Seta - This old convent courtyard now has several souvenir shops.
- Stockmann – One of the city's main department stores, it is part of the large Finnish chain store brand.
Food and Drink
- Potato pancakes – Found in most restaurants throughout Riga, potato pancakes are a popular Latvian dish. They are commonly served with sour cream and a bacon sauce.
- Bread soup – Made from rye bread, dry fruit, sugar, and cream, bread soup is a local dessert.
- Riga Black Balsam – Containing 24 different ingredients, this dark liquor has a distinctive taste. The strong drink is made from vodka with a variety of herbs and other additions.
- Kvass – Another creation made using rye bread, kvass is a sweet drink with a small percentage of alcohol.
Transport in Riga
Public transport in Riga is widely available, and most parts of the city are relatively easy to reach. All methods of public transport use an integrated ticketing system, called e-talons, which makes things fairly straightforward. You can pay for single journeys or a block of trips to be used at a time that suits you. Day passes are also available.
- By foot – The Old Town is easy to explore on foot, but do ensure that you wear sturdy footwear to cope with the many cobbled walkways. Elsewhere around the city, pavements are usually paved and flat.
- By bicycle – Bicycle rental outlets can be found in several areas of the city but helmets are not often provided.
- Boats – Boats can be a pleasant, albeit slow, way to reach Jūrmala in the summer. Services depart from near the tourist information centre.
- Buses, trolleybuses and minibuses – Numerous road vehicles connect almost all parts of the city. Services are frequent. Night buses in Riga are denoted by the letter "N". You can pay the driver for a ride or purchase tickets from automated machines if you do not have a reloadable e-talon card.
- Trams – Trams are the quickest way of moving around the city. Lines run from one to 11, and routes are completely different to those served by buses.
- Taxis – The cheapest taxis in Riga are those that you order using a mobile app or telephone. Taxis flagged down in the street should use a meter, but the rate is generally higher than you would pay with a pre-booked service.

An Implant Dentist Answers Questions About Tooth Replacement
As an implant dentist, we use this permanent solution to replace missing teeth. To say that dental implants are the future of prosthetic dentistry is not a far reach at all. Medical science has made such strides in oral prosthetics that today's dental implants are literally things our predecessors would have considered unattainable. Using the most innovative methods, we insert the titanium implant into your jaw which makes it the most stable and strong replacement you can get for lost teeth. Since the titanium post and jawbone fuse together through a process called osseointegration, your implant acts like a naturally occurring tooth. Compare this to dentures, which still use adhesive to bond them in place, and bridges, which need to be cemented in their location, and you quickly see why dental implants are the future.
While some of our patients are still concerned about the change, once we are able to demonstrate that getting implants gives you a permanent solution to tooth loss, many of our patients are interested in making the switch. Additionally, they are much easier to maintain, and you never have to worry about the fit. Finally, considering that dental implants are stronger, more durable, and better looking than the best dentures or bridges, making the switch is just good sense.
For permanence, dental implants are the ideal solution. This sense of replacing your teeth with a completely permanent new tooth or teeth is an exciting prospect, and for some of our patients raises some level of caution. Change is never easy so, as an implant dentist, we welcome the opportunity to answer any of your questions so that you can fully understand what dental implants are and what they can do for you. Some of the more common questions that we get, especially from our patients that are switching from a different prosthetic device are:
How long is the recovery time after getting dental implants?
Dental implants are inserted into the jawbone. In order to make sure that you have the shortest possible recovery time, and to give you the most chances of success we install dental implants in stages. After each stage, you will return home to recover for between ten and fourteen days. On your return, we will check the work and make any minor modifications as needed. After all the stages are complete, you will require only around two weeks to begin fully using your new dental implants.
What is the success rate for dental implants?
Success rates can be measured two ways. First we have a 92% and 98% average, of all clinics, with successfully placing the dental implants. This means that you have a better than 9 in 10 chance that your implant surgery will be completely successful. Success is also measured by how long these devices will last you. Typically an implant will last anywhere from seven to thirty years. There is a large variance because a lot of its success has to do with you. What you eat and how well you take care of your teeth, avoiding accidents, and ensuring that you visit our implant dentist office at least twice a year will put you on the higher end of that life cycle.

Former Gaucho Athletes Join Track and Field Staff
The UC Santa Barbara Cross Country and Track and Field programs are excited to announce their staff for the current year. The Gauchos are proud to welcome back former Big West Champions Ryan Martin, Mitch Haag, Derek Masterson, and Amanda Rodriguez as well as Big West Runner up Mike Powers to the track and field staff as Volunteer Assistant Coaches. Former Gaucho distance runner, Amanda Babineaux (formerly Moreno) was recently elevated to a full-time assistant coach this past July.
Amanda Babineaux, one of the most decorated distance runners in UCSB history, will be going into her second season as an assistant coach with the Gauchos. Amanda will work with the men's and women's cross country teams as well as the distance groups on the track. She will oversee recruiting and front office administrative duties.
Babineaux was a three time Big West Champion while running for the Gauchos. She claimed the Big West 5,000m outdoor title in 2011 and also won the 2010 Big West Cross Country Championship, capping a stellar season with an appearance at the NCAA Championships. She is the former Big West Conference record holder in the 5,000m with a time of 15:58.02, which she set at the Mt. Sac Relay's in 2011. She established a then Big West Cross Country Championship meet record en route to winning the 6,000m championship in 2012. Amanda holds the UCSB school record in the 5,000m and 3,000m.
She graduated from UCSB in 2011 with a degree in Philosophy and a minor in Applied Psychology. Before coming to UCSB, Babineaux won 6 Western Athletic Conference titles while at the University of Nevada-Reno and was the CIF XC State Champion while attending Escalon High School. She recently married Brad Babineaux in August.
Ryan Martin left his mark on the NCAA Record Books with his 2012 Big West Conference 800m time of 1:44.77- the 8th fastest time in collegiate history. While at UCSB he captured 3 All-American awards and finished his last race in uniform at the Olympic Trials, dipping under 1:45 for the second time in his career and finishing in 4th, narrowly missing a bid to the London Olympics. Martin will assist with the Gaucho cross country and distance groups and currently runs for Asics. Martin graduated with degrees in Business Economics and Art History.
Derek Masterson captured three Big West Championships in the decathlon and javelin will return to Santa Barbara to assist with the multi-event groups. After defending his conference decathlon title in 2013, Masterson set a new personal best in Dallas at the TGA Invite with a score of 7,631. He recorded the 20th best decathlon score in the US in 2013. Masterson was a pivotal part of the Gauchos 2012 Big West Team Championship and throughout his career he scored in the high jump, javelin, pole vault, long jump and decathlon at the Big West Championships. Masterson received his degree in Environmental Studies and looks to pursue a career with NOAA working with global weather systems.
Mitch Haag will assist with the Gaucho jumpers. Haag won three consecutive Big West Championships in the high jump and sits second on the All-Time UCSB lists with his PR of 7'2 ½. Haag has made the last two NCAA Regional Competitions and won the Cal Nevada Championships his junior and senior years. He eclipsed the 7 foot mark five times as a Gaucho. Haag will receive his degree in Film Studies this December and will apply to graduate programs in his field.
Mike Powers will assist with the Pole Vault after a stellar career. A two time conference medalist in the decathlon, Powers set a career best score of 7,138- a mark he set at the 2012 Sam Adams Competition. During the 2012 Big West Championships he took second in the decathlon and came back to finish 4th in the 400m Hurdles, 8th in the 110 high hurdles and 6th in the high jump- helping rally the Gaucho Men's squad to their first team conference title in school history. A clutch competitor, he also led off the Gauchos 4x400m relay at the NCAA West Regional Championships in Austin, TX.
Amanda Rodriguez, the 2013 Big West 400m hurdle champion will be helping the Gaucho sprint and hurdle squad. Rodriguez ran the anchor leg on the Gauchos school record setting 4 x 400m relay this past season in Austin, TX. She has a lifetime best of 58.32 in the 400m hurdles and 54.98 in the open 400m. Rodriguez will receive her degree in Bio Psychology in December.
UCSB Associate Head Coach Cody Fleming looks forward to the new additions: "This is a great group of young people who all experienced tremendous growth as student-athletes here at UCSB and we couldn't be happier to welcome them back into the program. They will be great role models for their event groups. They've been in big meets and they figured out how to succeed as a Gaucho. Their experience and wisdom at UCSB, in such a dynamic and challenging academic environment, is already benefiting our student-athletes."
The UCSB Track and Field Staff also feature coaches Annett Fleming and Robert Beamer. Fleming, a talented heptathlete, won seven All-American Awards while competing at the University of Hawaii and recently won the 2012 Mt. Sac Relays Heptathlon crown. She followed that performance with a second place finish at the German Senior Heptathlon Championships in Hannover. "Beamer" enters his seventh year with the Gauchos and assists with the runners. He was a part of the 2006 and 2012 Big West Championship staffs. He is also an adjunct professor at Santa Barbara CC and is an avid rower and academic.
Also a pivotal part of the Track and Field and Cross Country programs success is Strength and Conditioning Coach Ross Silverman. An avid student of biomechanics, Silverman has developed and continues to write event specific training plans for cross country, long sprints, short sprints, high jump, pole vault, heptathlon, decathlon, javelin and for the hammer, shot and discus throws. His attention to the specific strength demands each event requires has helped spark a successful championship run in cross country and track and field- seeing 13 school records fall during his tenure. He has written training plans for over 15 different Big West Conference Champions.
He has his CSCS through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and has worked as a consultant and training specialist with P3, a world renowned training facility in Santa Barbara. He has been an active member of US Rugby for several years and has played on numerous international teams.
A familiar face in the Santa Barbara community, Pete Dolan is now in his 28th year with UC Santa Barbara, 26th as the Director of Track and Field/Cross Country. Dolan took over for long time coach Sam Adams when he retired in 1992. Sam Adams was appointed Head Coach of the UC Santa Barbara program in 1963, leaving Dolan and Adams in select company as the only Head Coaches over a 46 year span.
While at UC Santa Barbara, Dolan has captured team titles in Men's and Women's Cross Country and Men's and Women's Track and Field. He has won 12 Big West Coach of The Year honors and after winning the 2012 Men's Big West Track and Field Championship, he was named the USTFCCCA NCAA Division 1 West Region Coach of The Year.
Dolan's athletes hold every school record in the distance events. He has overseen 97 Big West Champions in track and field to go along with the 9 Big West Cross Country Champions he has mentored. Nationally, his 2006 Women's Cross Country Team set the west coast ablaze winning the Big West Championship and going onto record a 9th place finish at the NCAA Championships.
Completing the staff are assistants and former teammates, Cody Fleming and Travis Anderson. Both competed and graduated from the University of Oregon and have brought a high level of expectation to their event groups- evidenced by the 15 Big West Titles their athletes have won over the past two years. Fleming oversees the throwing events as well as the multi-events and high jump. Anderson directs the Gauchos sprints and hurdles as well as horizontal jumps and pole vault. Together their athletes broke 9 UCSB school records in 2013 alone.
