Psalm 102:23–28: The psalmist swings back around from concern for the nation to his own situation, asserting that God is the one who has decreed his early death. He prays that God would change his mind:
"He humbled my strength on the highway,
he cut short my days.
I say, 'O my God.
Do not take me away in the midst of my days!'" (24, 25a)
Our poet has a very creative rationale with which he supports is plea for a longer life. He contrasts God's eternality with a man's brief life span. The unspoken implication is that God, who has created everything, being eternal, really can fathom neither the poet's yearning to live nor the human's psychological plight of mortality—of being given just a few short years to be on earth:
"Your years are for all generations.
Of old You founded the earth,
and the heavens—Your handiwork." (25b, 26)
I sense the deep frustration of the psalmist as he compares human lives to metaphorical clothes that God puts on and then discards when they are worn out:
"They will perish and and You will stand.
They will all wear away like a garment.
Like clothing You change them, and they pass away." (27)
One last acknowledgement of God's eternity and our poet seems to accept his mortal fate as he understands that even in our short lives it is God who protects us and gives the gift of life to the next generation:
"But You—Your years never end.
The sons of Your servants dwell safe,
their seed in Your presence, unshaken." (28, 29)
The takeaway for me is that we must accept the fact that even though God is eternal we are not. But in our mortality we will find God's healing and protection.
Jeremiah 19:10–21:10: The Moravians inexplicably ended yesterday's reading at Jeremiah holding the earthenware jug but doing nothing with it. Today, we read God's instructions of what the prophet is to do with it: "Then you shall break the jug in the sight of those who go with you, and shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, so that it can never be mended." (19:10) This statement is in stark contrast to Jeremiah's earlier visit to the potter where he saw that when the craftsman makes a mistake he can redeem the clay by starting over. But with a broken jug there is metaphorically no redemption for Judah.
Jeremiah carries out God's instructions in his usual blunt style: "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I am now bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their necks, refusing to hear my words." (19:15)
Unsurprisingly, this does not go over well with his audience. As a consequence, the high priest, Pashur, "struck the prophet Jeremiah, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the Lord." (20:2) The priest releases Jeremiah the next morning but instead of saying thanks, Jeremiah curses him: "Jeremiah said to him, The Lord has named you not Pashhur but "Terror-all-around." (20:4) He goes on to tell the priest that he will witness his friends die by the sword and everyone else will be carried off to Babylon and "there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely." (20:6)
A long disquisition in poetry naturally follows as Jeremiah decries the fate of prophets without honor in their own countries:
"For I hear many whispering:
"Terror is all around!
Denounce him! Let us denounce him!"
All my close friends
are watching for me to stumble." (20:10)
Despite the personal danger in which he finds himself, Jeremiah remains true to God and would really like to see the events he's prophesied actually carried out sooner rather than later:
"O Lord of hosts, you test the righteous,
you see the heart and the mind;
let me see your retribution upon them,
for to you I have committed my cause." (20:12)
Once again we read that Jeremiah, faithful to God and relentless deliverer of bad news to an evil people, would rather not have been born at all. The poem ends on a dark but psychologically authentic note—regret for having lived at all:
"Why did I come forth from the womb
to see toil and sorrow,
and spend my days in shame?" (20:18)
Eventually the people of Judah begin to understand that Jeremiah has not been making all this up. Perhaps, some may have thought, he is an authentic prophet telling us stuff we'd rather not hear. The events he's predicted appear to be coming to pass and Babylon is nearing Jerusalem. Pashur sends for Jeremiah and asks, "Please inquire of the Lord on our behalf, for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is making war against us;" (21:2a) The high priest is optimistic that "perhaps the Lord will perform a wonderful deed for us, as he has often done, and will make him withdraw from us." (21:2b)
Unsurprisingly, Jeremiah tells the priest his optimism is badly misplaced and that God "will strike down the inhabitants of this city, both human beings and animals; they shall die of a great pestilence." (21:6) And those who survive need not think themselves fortunate because God will ensure that "those who survive the pestilence, sword, and famine—into the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their lives." (21:7)
The last line in today's reading is Jeremiah, speaking in God's voice, summing up the dreadful events to come: "For I have set my face against this city for evil and not for good, says the Lord: it shall be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire." (10:10)
But as always the reading ends, leaving us wondering, will God give them one last chance to redeem themselves before the awful events come to pass? Jeremiah's been forecasting doom through these twenty-one chapters but nothing has happened yet. Is there still hope?
1 Timothy 4:1–10: Our author undertakes a direct condemnation of gnosticism, whose influence seems to be growing in the church (again another suggestion that the letter has been written some years after Paul). He writes, "in later times some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared with a hot iron." (1,2)
He goes on to note that "They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods, which God created…" (3) A foundational belief of the Gnostics was that physical objects, even physical life itself was inferior to a serene and superior state of spirituality—exactly the same thing we see today in the crystals and makras of various spiritualists who hang out in places like Sedona,AZ.
True Christians, on the other hand, rejoice at the physicality of creation because "everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it is received with thanksgiving." (4) This is a good warning to those who may tend to over-spirtualize their religious experience.
For example, sometimes, people misinterpret the role of the Holy Spirit and make an overt spiritual experience such as speaking in tongues, aka a 'second baptism' become not only the ne plus ultra of the Christian life but a defining boundary of who is "really Christian" and who is not. This was especially rampant in the various charismatic movements of the 1970s.
Following this condemnation our author relapses back into serious advice-giving mode, ostensibly to Timothy, although given Paul's affection for—and obvious trust in— his friend, these cookbook instructions feel inauthentic to me: "Have nothing to do with profane myths and old wives' tales. Train yourself in godliness, for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." (7,8) Nevertheless they stand as good advice for pastors and leaders.

When Laguna Beach and Newport Harbor get together in the pool for girls' water polo competition, the action almost never seems to lack drama.
Saturday at the Laguna pool, it was turned up a notch.
The sixth-ranked Breakers and fourth-ranked Sailors went up against each other for a second time this season in a CIF Southern Section Division 1 quarterfinal showdown where a berth in the semifinals awaited the winner. After a deadlock through regulation, it was Newport that survived to move on, following an 11-10 overtime victory.
The Sailors had won the regular-season meeting between the teams, 10-4, also at the Laguna pool.
Newport will take on rival Corona del Mar for the Division 1 title on Saturday. The Sailors advanced to the final by knocking out top-seeded Santa Barbara, 8-5, in Wednesday's semifinals.
In Saturday's game, Laguna took a 5-3 lead in the first quarter and led, 6-5, at the half. The Breakers maintained a one-point edge, 8-7, through three quarters. The score was tied late in the fourth but Newport Harbor took its first lead of the game, 9-8, with 35 seconds left in regulation. Laguna sophomore Makenzie Fischer answered by scoring the tying goal seconds later, and the teams went to overtime.

There is no field of en- deavor where the spirit of competition is not keen and the goal is not either to be first, best or biggest. To deny that competition is one of this country's motivating forces is to deny the very essence of our goal-oriented culture. We are a society that thrives on recognition in athletics, personal appearance, medicine and science, arts and letters . and architecture. Sooner or later, presumably, we will all be recognized because we are first or best at something. While much of this recognition is little more than entertainment for the masses, the spirit of competition is important. It stimulates our de- sire to succeed and become ever better at what we do. A desire for recognition among our peers is healthy, even admirable. I would like nothing better than to win the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. Is that bad? I say no. It causes me to constantly strive to produce my best writing. Architectural competitions are no different. Architects enter competitions to win. With win- ning comes a recognition of excellence and with that recognition comes an implied obliga- tion for continued excellence. That's good. It's good for the people who buy architecture. It's good for the future of architecture, for the fu- ture of our cities. It is one of the assurances that quality will continue to be a goal. Diane D.

Turn to page 20 FLORIDA ARCHITECT / FALL 1982 LEGAL NOTES Architecture or Engineering-Clearing Up A Cloudy Issue. by J. Michael Huey FA/AIA General Counsel The professions of architecture and engineering have been regulated in Flor- ida since 1915 and 1918, respectively. Distinctions between the two have, how- ever, never been totally clear to the public, the legislature or the courts. In- deed, there is an acknowledged overlap between architecture and some of the engineering specialties, particularly, structural and civil engineering. This overlap has caused regulation of the ar- chitectural and engineering professions to be complex and, at times, frustrating. From 1915 until 1979, there was a limited definition of architecture con- tained in the Architects' Practice Act. Persons engaged in the planning or de- sign of buildings for others or furnishing architectural supervision of the construc- tion of buildings were deemed to be practicing architecture. From 1918 until 1979, the Engineers' Practice Act con- tained an extensive definition of the term "professional engineering." This term in- cluded any professional service requir- ing use or knowledge of mathematics and the principles of engineering ren- dered or offered to be rendered for pub- lic or private buildings, dams, machines, etc., and any consultation, investigation, plan, design or responsible supervision of construction of such buildings, dams, machines, etc. For years, architects and engineers were at each other's throats over one another's encroachment in the practice. This not only occurred in Florida, but throughout the United States. In 1970, the Florida State Board of Architecture attempted to prosecute an engineer for the unlawful practice of architecture. The now famous case Verich v. Florida State Board of Architecture involved the design of a shopping mall by an engineer. The lower court's order en- joined the engineer from continuing with the design of the mall. The District Court of Appeal for the Fourth District of Florida reversed the lower court holding that, upon review of the definitions in the practice acts, a registered architect could plan, design and supervise con- struction of a building as the practice of architecture and a registered profes- sional engineer could plan, design and supervise construction of a building as the practice of engineering. The district court also noted that the legislature obviously intended an over- lap of these two professions due to the statutory language allowing engineers to perform architectural services incidental to an engineering project and vice versa. The Verich decision did not end the con- troversy between architects and en- gineers but it substantially precluded en- croachment enforcement activities by the respective professional regulatory boards. In 1979, the legislature reviewed the Architects' Practice Act and the En- gineers' Practice Act under the sunset law. Under this law, the two practice acts were to be automatically repealed ab- sent the legislature's finding that the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the state required re-enactment. The legislature made such a finding and re- enacted both practice acts. In doing so, the definition of engineering was mod- ified only slightly. However, the definition of the practice of architecture was sub- stantially amended to read: "'Architecture' means the ren- dering or offering to render ser- vices in connection with the design and construction of a structure or group of structures which have as their principal purpose human habitation or use, and the utilization of space within and surrounding such structures. These services include planning, providing preliminary study designs, drawings and specifications, architectural supervision, job- site inspection, and administra- tion of construction contracts." The 1979 Legislature further mod- ified the two practice acts to provide that only civil and structural engineers could render architectural services which were purely incidental to an engineering proj- ect. Formerly, such incidental architec- ture was not restricted to these two engineering specialties. The two modifi- cations have gone a long way toward clarifying the respective practices. The legislature recognized that the disci- plines of civil and structural engineering are the only two engineering disciplines applicable to planning, design and con- struction supervision of buildings. Fur- ther, the legislature recognized that ar- chitecture, alone, involves overall plan- ning, design and construction supervi- sion of structures for human habitation or use. The legislature, rightfully, did not re- move the "overlap" language wherein architects can perform engineering ser- vices purely incidental to their archi- tectural practice and vice versa. There are some who will say that this leaves the two professions exactly where they were in 1970, when Verich was handed down. However, this is not the case. The De- partment of Professional Regulation, through the State Board of Architecture and the Florida Board of Professional En- gineers, has formed a Joint Architec- tural/Engineering Committee whose purpose is to review alleged practice en- croachments. This committee has con- sistently applied the "human habitation or use" principle in distinguishing the two practices. The committee, in eval- uating complaints received by DPR, has determined that the following building types can only be designed by archi- tects: condominiums, apartment build- ings, office complexes, church build- ings, public recreational buildings, shopping centers, hotels and detention facilities. Despite the progress being made by the Joint Committee, many architects continue to be frustrated by the failure of their local building code officials to prop- erly interpret and enforce the law by issuing building permits for architectural buildings when the plans have been sealed by engineers. Building officials have a duty to examine the plans submit- Turn to page 32 FLORIDA ARCHITECT / FALL 1982 We didn't invent he wheel-but we did find a way to close openings better than tanyo ne n the^ MILDOOR, for two decades, has provided th construction industry with a complete line of a nye in t e superbly engineered quality products, and in u process discovered how to beautify aluminum We call it Magnacolor There's nothing like it anywhere else, at any price.

The jury which convened at the headquarters of the New York Society of Architects in Manhattan, included Charles Gwathmey, FAIA, John M. Johansen, FAIA and Paul Rudolph. While philosophical differences existed among the jury, as they will in any jury, this year's winners collectively represented this jury's different perceptions of excellence in architecture. I? / 1 John Johansen, FAIA John M. Johansen, FAIA, is one of the most widely acclaimed Architects practicing today. Since he ei, hi.i.ried his practice in 1950, his work has re- ceived both national and international attention for its boldness, imagination and freshness of approach.

FLORIDA ARCHITECT / FALL 1982 "This house is an interesting mixture of nature and human design ..." John Johansen The Aguilera Residence Dade County, Florida Architect George F. Reed, FAIA Coconut Grove Landscape Architect George F. Reed, FAIA Owner Mr. and Mrs. Enrique Aguilera General Contractor Meares Contracting Company This residence was designed for a family with four children who wished to have com- plete privacy and save all existing oak trees. In addition, they wanted a home which related to the tropical outdoors and enhanced their energy conservation Privacy for individual family members was also important, but the spirit of the family and a feeling of security within the house was imperative. The solution to these criteria was a com- plex of four sheltering roofs, set among the trees, describing a compound that is en- closed by a continuous meandering masonry wall that provides security and privacy. Alto- gether, this tropical house was designed to be in harmony with its family and its site. Jury Comments "This is the most indigenous and most livable building we saw." . Paul Rudulph "This house is a haven in the tropics. It is an interesting play between formal and infor- mal The delight here is in the mixture be- tween plant life and man's construction. It's really a marvelous mix." .

Charles Gwathmey The Overseas Tower Miami, Florida Architect Arquitectonica International Corporation Coral Gables Consulting Engineer John Ross Associates, Inc. Owner/Developer The Overseas Tower Corporation, N.V. Jorge Boza, Jr., Developer General Contractor Edward J. Gerrits This medium rise suburban office build- ing is sited at the entrance to an industrial park on a peninsula. There are expansive views of a large lake from the seven-story building which has 37,000 square feet of gross area. Building construction is rein- forced concrete columns and post tensioned slab on pile footings. Building materials in- clude painted stucco on block, gray reflective glass and aluminum framing which was elec- trostatically painted blue. There is on-grade parking and the mechanical system employs one air handling unit per floor. Jury Comments "As a total surreal building, as a graphic idea, both in terms of color and material and articulation .. as a speculative object, it is very successful. "The building addresses itself to high- way architecture which is unique because it is done all too seldom. It holds its own in the highway by using the most extravagant core of glass wall that one can imagine. The han- dling of the core, from a purely architectural viewpoint is, I think, brilliant. It is a study in scale. It is simultaneously scale-less at first glance with the continuous glass walls of the office tower, but if you examine the detail more closely, you see that it has great delica- cy of scale. The whole building is a study in abstraction.' . Charles Gwathmey 0 0 Pi k. FLORIDA ARCHITECT / FALL 1982 S 0 "There is a great inventiveness of gestures here ." John Johansen Alexander Residence Coconut Grove, Florida , Architect,. Henry C. Alexander, Jr. Miami Consulting Engineer Brill-Heyer Associates . Owner . Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Alexander, Jr. General Contractor Henry C. Alexander, Jr., Architect This single family residence occupies a lot which is 50 by 90 feet with a flood criteria of + 12.0' MSL for all habitable spaces. Foun- dations are isolated footings for each column and concrete slab on grade. The exterior is stained cypress on plywood sheathing and flooring is oak strip. There are two 37,000 BTU split system air conditioners with heat ex- changer for hot water. Jury Comments "There is great unity in this building and it is a marvelous abstraction. There is great inventiveness of gestures here as to the way forms break one into the other. Sometimes it is the flow of a curve, sometimes it is something else. First you're in one geometry, then another. You literally move from one form to another. "It is a very sophisticated piece of work and a very able design." .

Jacksonville Consulting Engineer Roy Turknett Engineers, P.A., Mechanical, Electrical H. W. Keister Associates, Inc., Structural Owner Morgan-Goodloe, Incorporated General Contractor E. Vaughan Rivers, Inc. Taking advantage of the 100' by 150' sloping site, the townhouses are nestled into the sand dune with the center residence's entry at the second floor approached by a landscaped wood deck. The north and south townhouses, mirror images of each other, are entered through a sunken skylit atrium to a landing above the first floor. The sloped roof- line is extended by fin walls on the west to subdivide a six-car carport, by sodded berms on the north and south, and by a screen en- closure on the east facing the Atlantic Ocean. Each unit has a balcony leading to the bed- rooms which overlook a two-story living area below. Jury Comments "The formal concept of this building ap- pears to be one when it is really three living spaces. The house is most convincing in sec- tion and I like the feeling that the house is always recoiling away from you. In.-that re- gard, its use of sloping planes is most suc- cessful." .

This center was designed to provide re- creation for the elderly. Utilizing the asset of a moderate year round climate, the structure combines not only indoor activities, but invites the individual to participate in outdoor recrea- tion, including dining. Jury Comments "This building creates its own environ- ment within its own confines. Because of the concrete construction, it's easy to see how it might appear fortress-like to the casual observer, but actually the idea of the elderly coming to a protective place which is clearly defined and where they feel secure is good. "The plan is admirable. It is essentially simple laid out around a corridor leading to lounge and library. As far as the auditorium is concerned, what better way to keep out dis- tracting outside noises than to surround the auditorium with storage facilities. - "The geometry of the scheme is consis- tent throughout. It is a good indication that A Wrightian architecture is not dead."

The airport is designed so that you establish passenger transfer at the main ter- minal and then take a tube to the various airline pods. The whole trip from terminal to airplane building is a part of the sequence of the building. There is very strong site partici- pation with passengers moving over a series of lakes and never losing sight of the land. "The quality of this building is less auto- matic than one might expect in this type of public facility, rather the detailing is clear and the overall use of space is much less regular and unexpected than one finds in a typical airport" .

There is stained exposed concrete, steel and reflective glass over the -- exterior circulation, the theatre lobby and the greenhouse dining area. Jury Comments "There is a sense of intimacy in this m a building even though it is fairly large. There is . a certain logic about the whole which is , heightened by that sense of intimacy. I like ba. the spirit of the building. It employs very direct building methods which, I think, young peo- ple particularly appreciate. It is really like an informal community, a village if you will, where students go shopping for knowledge. The lineal organization of the building draws on nature it is very organic." .

Paul Rudolph Gregg Beachfront Residence Island near Sarasota, Florida Architect Carl Abbott, Architect Sarasota Consulting Engineer A. L. Conyers Project Job Captain S.T Michael O'Donnell SOwner Mrs. Harry Gregg General Contractor Dale Pierce, Inc. In the canopy of trees, this beach house reads as a series of light, floating terraces supported on tall concrete columns. The tall vertical cylinder of space which runs the full height of the building visually anchors the structure to the site. Jury Comments "This house's three horizontal planes, which do not in plan follow each other, but interpenetrate one with the other, is a valid idea, especially when these floors are raised S. above ground in a tropical climate. The rela- .tionships of these three planes and their S solids and voids is handled in a remarkable architectural way. The void in one plane is the solid in another. All of that is very formalistic, of course. The thrusting and counter-thrusting and the balancing of solids and voids and the flow of space horizontally and vertically is well thought out." .

The project which was cited was the 100-Man Community Correctional Center in Miami. Although six projects were cited by the AIA for special design features, a total of forty-three U.S. and Canadian projects illustrating "the continuing in- crease in the quantity and overall quality of architecture for justice facilities" were selected for the 1982 Exhibition of Archi- tecture for Justice Facilities. The exhibit, sponsored annually by the AIA and the American Correctional Association, was displayed at the AIA Committee on Architecture for Justice meeting and conference held in Houston September 30 through October 3, 1982. The projects selected included maximum and minimum security facili- ties, correctional centers, jails and court- houses. The 43 winning projects will be illustrated in a publication which can be obtained through the AIA's publications marketing division.

The Commission of Fine Arts, which advises on public parks and buildings in Washington, D.C. is scheduled to review the proposed modifications to Lin's de- sign and arrive at a decision in the early Fall. Chapters Prepare for Design Awards Programs On the evening of November 9, 1982, the Mid-Florida Chapter of the AIA will present its annual design awards during a special performance by the Florida Symphony Orchestra in the Bob Carr Auditorium in Orlando. The Mid-Florida Chapter seeks to honor architects, engineers, interior de- signers and landscape architects with offices in the five-county area of Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake and Brevard. The Florida Central Chapter, AIA, in conjunction with the Associated General Contractors and the Construction Pro- jects Manufacturing Council have an- nounced the biannual Architects and Builders Awards Program This program, designed to recognize architects and contractors in a five-county area, is held every two years and provides a show- case for significant achievements in the building industry. This year's program has been ex- panded to address achievements in in- terior design and recognize material suppliers where their efforts warrant it. The date for this event is November 13, 1982 at the Host International Hotel in Tampa. Daytona Beach Chapter Applies for RUDAT The Daytona Beach Chapter of the AIA has initiated a proposal to have the city of Daytona Beach Shores evaluated by RUDAT the AIA's Regional Urban Design Assistance Team. The Executive Committee and Directors of the Chapter agreed to sponsor the RUDAT applica- tion, the first phase of which was just completed with a preliminary evaluation of the City by an AIA Evaluator. Based on the recommendation of the Evaluator, who happened to be an Alabama archi- tect, the AIA should reach its decision by early Fall.

Bannister was for- mer head of the University of Illinois De- partment of Architecture and later dean of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts at the University of Florida. It was there, as both dean and teacher, that so many of the practicing architects in Flor- ida today came to know and love Turpin Bannister. After many years in private practice, Professor Bannister began an academic career that was to last until his retire- ment. In 1957, he was appointed dean of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts at the U of F. Bannister's broad career brought him many honors and awards. Signifi- cant among those honors were his Fel- lowship in the AIA in 1953 and the 1955 Edward C. Kepper Award. one of the Institute's most coveted. Turpin Bannister made significant contributions to the architectural profes- sion as a writer and editor. He was Editor FLORIDA ARCHITECT / FALL 1982 Awninw of dininction velopment. The only expense to the ap- plicant relates to transportation, food and lodging for the Team that does the survey. That sum, which is estimated at between $16 and $20 thousand dollars is raised with City, County and private pledges. The Daytona Chapter has agreed to contribute whatever hours of manpower are necessary to conduct re- search and be of general assistance to the Team. The results of a RUDAT evaluation and recommendation are of tremendous benefit to communities which are rapidly developing. The team focuses its atten- tion on future business, building types, road construction and land use plan- ning. According to Daytona Beach Chap- ter President Bill Palmer, the community as a whole is supportive of the RUDAT program and long-range benefits can clearly be anticipated if the Chapter is successful in getting the Team to Day- tona Beach Shores. Florida Loses Two Emminent Professors of Architecture of The Architect at Mid-Century and his publications on the mills of England and St. Peter's Basillica in Rome are models of scholarly research. Bannister is one of the founders and a past president of the Society of Architectural Historians, and he served on advisory boards to the Na- tional Park Service and the Historic American Buildings Survey. Professor Bannister will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues. Woodrow W. Wilkins, AIA Woodrow W. Wilkins, professor of architecture and planning at the Univer- sity of Miami, died August 20, 1982, in Pensacola. He was 67. Prof. Wilkins was an internationally known leader in historic preservation. In May, 1982, during Historic Preservation Week, the Woodrow Wilkins Archives of Architectural Records was begun in Miami. The archives will collect, store and display architectural memorabilia. Wilkins research was chiefly in the field of historic American architecture. He did a great deal of work with the Historic American Buildings Survey. At the time of his death, Wilkins was work- ing on a book about George Merrick, founder of Coral Gables. Wilkins was a member of the Amer- ican Institute of Architects, the Dade Heritage Trust and the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. In 1978, he was appointed by the Secretary of State to the Florida Review Committee for the National Register of Historic Places. He has been an acting resident architect for the National Park Service in the Carib- bean, furnishing full architectural service and all new and preservation work. His work ranged from Spanish forts to Dan- ish sugar factories. Wilkins received his Bachelor of Ar- chitecture degree from the University of Florida in 1949. He went to teach at the University of Miami in 1967 and served as acting department chairman from 1970 to 1972. Professor Wilkins retired in May, 1981. Miscellaneous Items of Note ARNOLD F.

The Committee was formed in the wake of the 1981 Harbor Cay Condominium col- lapse that killed eleven workmen and in- jured twenty-three. The FLORIDA SOUTH CHAPTER OF THE AIA recently highlighted and ex- plored the growing role women are play- ing in the field of architecture. Featured speakers at the FSC/AIA meeting de- voted to the theme were BEVERLY SAN- CHEZ who heads a special Task Force on the subject for national AIA and LAURINDA SPEAR, a principal in the award-winning Miami-based firm of AR- QUITECTONICA INTERNATIONAL. The two panelists also appeared with Don Webb, host of Channel 17's "Something on 17." In Miami, a family directorship be- came a reality with the election of QUEN- TIN DART PARKER to the Board of Directors of ALFRED BROWNING PARK- ER, ARCHITECTS, CHARTERED. Mr. Parker is a son of the founder of the firm. ROBIN ZACHARY PARKER, Quentin's brother, has been a director for the past six years. The third director, ALFRED BROWNING PARKER, FAIA, has been active in the profession for almost 50 years. FA/AIA Executive Vice President GEORGE ALLEN has been conferred with the designation "Certified Associa- tion Executive" by the American Society of Association Executives.

BOX 160 m- 305/644-8279 WINTER PARK, FL. 32790 CONCRETE: THE STRENGTH OF FLORIDA Florida Salary and Benefits Survey Completed One hundred and fifty-three firms, or 28% of those doing business in Florida, responded to the 1982 Salary and Bene- fits Survey of Florida Architectural Firms. The results should make very interesting reading for Florida architects. In early summer, the FA/AIA sent a questionnaire to all Florida architectural firms inviting them to participate in a sal- ary and benefits survey. There were re- sponses from every chapter, but Florida South and Florida Central with the largest memberships prompted the greatest number of responses. This type of information has not been compiled in Florida since 1974, and the data which resulted from the Summary of Major Findings should be both interesting and useful to anyone engaged in the practice of architecture in this State. The questionnaire explored every facet of architectural practice from firm size to average salaries. Some of the responses were predictable such as the number of hours in the average work week while others were more surprising such as the fact that 62% of the firms responding do not provide parking for their employees and only 1% offer group auto insurance. By and large, however, the greatest discrepancies could be accounted for by geographic location and/or firm size. For example, the firms employing the largest numbers of people were in the Central and Southern parts of the State where there is a lot of commercial con- struction. In North Florida and the Pan- handle, the majority of firms responding had fewer employees and smaller fee billings. Noteworthy, however, is that fact that regardless of location nearly 50% of the participating firms operated in office space of 1,000 square feet or less. Relative to salary, the questionnaire had nineteen categories representing a range of positions from executive officer to clerical support. On this portion of the survey the statewide tabulation was accomplished by using median salaries in the high, average and low categories. For example, one firm principal in a very small firm might have an annual income of $2,000 while another in a much larger firm would have an income of $84,000. For that particular category, the median figure of $42,000 would show as a state- wide average. This same method was used for tabulating the total number of employees in each of the nineteen cate- gories. Survey results will be published and chiri.uid,: free of charge to every firm participating in the project. Any other firm wishing to have a copy of the results may have them upon request, although there will be a charge.

BOX 1513, MARIETTA, GEORGIA 30061 Hugh Holley Vice President (404) 971-8288 VIEWPOINT Thru A Glass Darkly The Design Awards Jury by John W. Totty, AIA Have you ever wondered what hap- pens when a design awards jury con- venes? Paraphrasing a juror, and an old advertising slogan, "when you care enough, send your very best. ." This is how I think most jurors will look at your entry into a design awards competition. These are architects who themselves care deeply for their work and look for the same dedication in their judgements. A design awards submission should, therefore, express the creative effort that went into the building planning - through good photographs and well done graphic materials. The only caution being that you're still judged on the building design, not the entry design. Temper the entry submission with the same sense of appropriateness applied to any design model. "Thru A Glass Darkly" .. This means that all the juror sees is what you show him, and it must be interpreted through his own experiences and sensi- bilities, without benefit of direct contact with the finished building. The jury ex- perience is necessarily a subjective pro- cess, although each juror is capable of looking beyond his individual approach and bias to what is universal about good design and architecture. Styles may change and vary but basic tenets remain the same. An award for Excellence in Architec- ture, or whatever title is used, is always a selection of the best of the best. Thus, those characteristics which make a proj- ect such must come through in a quick viewing. In the final analysis, a closer scrutiny is given to siting, plan, function, program all the general ingredients that any good building project should possess. But the first impression must be of such an impact as to establish a sense that this project transcends com- petent architecture and that it exhibits a truly creative effort on the part of the designer. Further thought would ques- tion whether the building or the designer is being recognized. I suspect it is al- ways a bit of both because the two are not entirely separate entities. You all know what goes in the front end, the submission. The judging pro- cess itself is necessarily a hurried one. It usually takes place over a span of six or so hours on a Saturday when the jurors can best break away from daily pres- sures and interruptions. I think most jurors enjoy this experience, have usual- ly done it several times and always look forward to another opportunity. The judging process is set by the method of submission. Most competi- tions use submission of slides with minimal associated graphic materials. The obvious procedure in this case is for the jury to view the slides together. If submission is by photos in a binder, they will probably look through each set indi- vidually and then come together for dis- cussion on final choices. Take the case of slides. All entries are numbered and always remain anon- ymous throughout discussions, even if a juror recognizes a building or a style. Numbers are assigned at random and multiple submissions by one architect are spaced apart to avoid recognition and comparison of his projects one against the other. For the FA/AIA pro- gram there are anywhere from 80 to 150 entries, so the pace is apt to be brisk on the first run through. There are usually three or four runs in narrowing down to probable winners. On the first run, which may eliminate half the entries, any project that one or more juror wants to keep in stays. They might make a judgment on thumbs up or thumbs down as each entry is viewed in order. But the best procedure I saw was the jury which viewed them in groups of ten in order to get some feeling of con- tinuity in the quality of submissions. They went through the ten and then stopped for brief discussion on which should be kept. Once a project is set aside it is rare that a juror will go back to look again as later entries come up. And it doesn't matter where your entry falls in the series. At this stage they pay as much attention to the last projects seen as the first ones. Each juror takes note of each entry number that looks most promising. After the initial run-thru, they then discuss and compare notes. Indeed, the next elim- ination run may take place without view- ing the slides again just through a dis- cussion. A lunch break proves a good time for the jury to relax and talk a bit about what has been viewed and what they might look for in the final analysis. Sur- prisingly, however, there is little phil- osophical discussion, except on the occasions of disagreement over one or two projects. Such disagreement seems to occur in each jury session. Then comes the time of horse trading. "I'll let you have that project if you'll let me have this one." There is no preconceived notion of the number of projects which must be selected. However, it is understood that winners will be chosen since the jury is not judging against an absolute. Each project, regardless of building type, is given fair treatment and will rise as high as its creative input will allow. If the award categories are broken up into honor, citation and merit there does have to be some fine line of judge- ment. This usually generates quite a bit of discussion in determining where to make the break. I think if there is to be only one category of award the jury will look harder at individual characteristics. They realize that each project chosen must have some common attributes and that each should approach an equal level of quality. In multiple categories each choice, by definition, doesn't nec- essarily reach the same level of creative achievement. No jury is without some element of humor and irreverent comment to break the seriousness, or tediousness, of the task. I remember the time that one ar- chitect either took his own photos or trav- eled with the photographer to take pic- tures of his project. He had a very dis- tinctive car and by the third time it ap- peared in the photos the jury was ready FLORIDA ARCHITECT / FAI I 1982 Legal Notes continued ted to them and to refuse building per- mits if the plans are not properly sealed. It would be an understatement to say that building officials have not uniformly interpreted the law. However, progress is being made. The determinations of the Joint Commit- tee are being distributed to the local building code officials for guidance. In March of this year, the Director of Build- ing and Zoning for the City of Fort Myers issued a memorandom to all architects and engineers doing business with the City clarifying that City's position with re- gard to the sealing of plans. The director acknowledged that it is the obligation of the building official to determine the "grey" or overlap areas. He pointed out that a determination of these grey areas did not involve the building official's de- termination of the competency of the person sealing the plans. He correctly recognized that the state tests persons for competency in particular professions or occupations and, thereafter, only those who successfully pass the tests and receive licenses are allowed to practice in the particular regulated area. Accordingly, it was declared to be the WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT OUR NEW MODERN FACILITIES f f' ).d VOipa/.edt, 7T&-/p 'ad De&^ey BLUEPRINTS PHOTOSTATS PHOTO MURALS OFFSET PRINTING SURVEYING EQUIPMENT MOUNTING & LAMINATING PRECISION PHOTOGRAPHY DRAFTING ROOM FURNITURE ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS SUPPLIES * DIAZO PRINTING EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES 1301 N.W. 27th AVENUE MIAMI,FLORIDA 33125 Phone (305) 635-6432 City's policy that any building that is ar- chitecture will be designed by an archi- tect and those portions of the building requiring engineering beyond a minor nature will be required to be designed by an engineer with the proper discipline or specialty for his portion of the work. Each sheet of the drawings will then have to be signed, dated and sealed by the professional that prepared them. While other cities have not neces- sarily established such an explicit written policy, many building code officials are taking a position consistent with the position of the City of Fort Myers. We have come a long way, thanks to the cooperation of the legislature and the two professions. The overlap will remain as it should but, hopefully, we are beyond the Verich decision and en- gineers will no longer be allowed to plan, design and supervise construction of buildings for human habitation or use as the practice of engineering. Viewpoint continued to give the car an award. A few other closing comments and observations. If you have confidence in your project and don't win one year, try again. A second jury is a second chance and they may see your work differently. Also, it may stand better in competition with another group of projects. There usually is one or more projects which almost make it, and as an observer, one wants to give these architects an en- couraging word. Another reminder, all jurors are not necessarily familiar with Florida and the fact that we are not all palm trees and sandy beaches, or like Miami! They don't realize the regional differences between South, Central and North Florida, or the beaches and the interior. So regional characteristics and influences should come out in your presentation. Finally, believe it or not, there is no conspiracy which dictates that the same architects must win awards time and again. I've never heard a juror, when recognizing an architect's work, who is a consistent award winner, give his project any more attention than any other. In- deed, looking back over the years, one wonders why there aren't more repeat winners. So, you too might join the circle of winners. John W.

The Risks of Medical Tourism
It is no secret that cosmetic procedures are a pricey investment, but cutting corners on surgery just to save money can come at an even greater cost.
There is a trend, called "Medical Tourism"that has many jetting off to foreign countries to receive discounted cosmetic surgery. These "nip-tuck holidays" could have serious repercussions if the decision is not made cautiously. If you are considering a cosmetic procedure and are concerned with its cost, speak with a trusted facial plastic surgeon, like Babak Azizzadeh, MD, FACS about financing before seeking a discounted medical procedure in another country.
The Promise vs. the Reality of Medical Tourism
There are medical tourism provider companies that organize and prepare patients for their trips abroad. These companies provide you with information about the procedure, doctors and overall trip at a very low cost, but this information can be misleading. The companies promise not only the inexpensive surgery, but also a relaxing, vacation-like environment to recover in. The picture of post-surgery days filled with lounging by the pool with other patients and shopping in an inexpensive foreign land sounds enticing, right? The reality is your body needs time to recover and what a person can or cannot do during recovery will depend greatly on their indivual procedure. Besides, extensive sun exposure and lugging around suitcases in airports isn't the best idea for your recovering body!
The reality is that the best way to recover from a surgery is in a comfortable, clean, and safe environment, close to your doctor so you can have proper care as you heal.
Cultural Barriers and Bad Results
Patients who have received discounted procedures overseas have reported very little face to face time with doctors, with as short as a 5 minute consultation before surgery. When there is a language barrier, or the doctor doesn't take the necessary time to understand the details of your body, the risk of an unsatisfactory procedure is far greater. There has even been a case reported where a patient went in for a tummy tuck and came out with a facelift! It is important to make sure any doctor you visit, whether in the U.S. or abroad, takes the time to get to know you, your case, and your desired outcome before operating.
There could also be an increased risk of disease and infection in hospitals with different licensing standards than we have here in the United States. Because hospital licensing standards vary so greatly from one country to the next, it is almost impossible to determine the good from the bad in a foreign country. There are bound to be great facilities and physicians in each country, but determining which ones those are is a difficult task.
Before committing to a cosmetic surgery, you should have a detailed conversation with an expert facial plastic surgeon about your procedure. You should know your hospital and have access to your doctor easily post-op. Though you may initially save money with medical tourism, the risks are just too great.
Contact an Expert Facial Plastic Surgeon
At the Center for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Azizzadeh will provide you with the best care and results for your cosmetic needs and will work with you on financing options. Don't cut corners and put yourself at risk. You just may end up spending more money in the long run on revision surgeries. Call (310) 657-2203 to schedule a consultation and to talk about financing with a renowned doctor.

Track JavaScript errors using JSerror
As for installation, here everything is as usual, but there are little nuances that you should be informed beforehand about.
JSerror module for determining the browser uses an enhanced version of the standard function get_browser () from the module Browscap (https://www.drupal.org/project/browscap). Therefore, the installation should be started with this module (unfortunately at the moment in a stable version of the module used incorrect service reference browserscap, so it's worth ispolzovat dev-version):
drush dl --destination sites / all / contrib browscap-7.x-2.x-dev
Next swing JSerror:
drush dl --destination sites / all / contrib jserror
Then turn on both modules:
drush en browscap jserror
Or do the same things, but only one command:
drush dl --destination = sites / all / modules / contrib browscap-7.x-2.x-dev jserror && drush en browscap jserror
Naturally, all this can be done manually, without the use of Drush.
We go to the module settings page Browscap (http://test.host/admin/config/system/browscap) to check if everything is ok:
Everything is looking good, but if you install the current stable version (7.x-2.1), then you still get an error message. Then we'll see what offers module JSerror. Open the configuration page and see:
It should be noted that the Debug Mode - debug mode determines which version (minimized or not) tracking script to give to the client. Here we are talking about the script module JSerror, and not JS-files of the entire site.
Others options should definitely mark in preproduction checklist and do not forget to set up the project in deploem combat environment.
Now let's see how it works, especially for the sake of this write the code with the error:
(function ($) { Drupal.behaviors.jserrorTest = { attach: function (context, settings) { Drupal.callUndefinedFunction (); } }; }) (jQuery);
In the console, Google Chrome, we obtain the following picture:
Now comes the moment of truth. Come watch the log JSerror (http://test-host/admin/reports/jserror).
Here is the page with reports:
As can be seen from the screenshot, our mistake is registered successfully, the module worked as it should.

Ouch, the pain! I bet that at least once in your life you had a dubious pleasure of participating in a project that turned out to be a massive disaster and the lack of good project management was to blame. Successful people are characterized by strong planning skills, after all, they manage to lead their lives in a way that got them to the top of the tree in the 1st place. Prosperous companies know how to organize their existence, as well as how to encourage their employees to become well-ordered and effective individuals.
But why is it so important to control the whole process? Can't we just go and do our jobs? I can find a lot of reasons why you shouldn't, but below you can find 5 most important ones.
1. Undefined objectives, goals, and priorities
Nowadays people expect you give some definition even to your brows. Although I'm not sure if that one is a real must, it's necessary when it comes to defying your objectives and goals. Forgetting about it leads nowhere. You can never reach a point that you were not aiming for. The same rule applies to priorities. I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything. At least not at the same time. So think about your priorities, not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.Lack of a solid project plan is like driving a car without a steering wheel Click To Tweet
2. Lack of a solid project plan
Lack of a solid project plan is the worst. It's like driving a car without a steering wheel. Blindfolded. You don't know where you are, where are you heading, what you already passed and how on earth you are going to turn right if you have to. The plan is your foundation for all the decisions that you will have to face later. Making sure every brick fits in well is key. Otherwise, you're building a house of cards and you are one blow away from failure.
3. Unrealistic timeframes and tasks
Some are scared of them, others feel safe to have them around. They also have magical ability to motivate… or demotivate. Deadlines. We all hate when the estimated time of our work has nothing to do with reality. Timble lets you track work time so it's all clear. But when your so called manager gives you a tenth of time that your assignment requires… Firstly you are rushed off your feet, secondly – you're shaking in your shoes, as well as you end up tired of everything , and it's only 10:30 so how are you supposed to make it till the end of a day… or a week?!
4. Poorly defined roles and responsibilities
Poorly defined roles and responsibilities are the reason why a lot of endeavors end up in garbage. If no one in the team knows what he or she should do, it often happens that two people are doing the same thing or some people are overloaded with work, while others do nothing. The whole idea of commitment is to make people care about what they're doing. Not only it makes the chaos disappear, but also keeps the team attached to the cause and the company.Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee Click To Tweet
5. Poor communication
Last but not least – communication. The biggest problem about it is the illusion that it has taken place. Lack of dialog* (*an exchange of ideas or opinions on a particular issue, with a view to reaching an amicable agreement or settlement) leads to misunderstandings, disappointments, and dead failure. Effective communication in the workplace helps employees and managers form highly efficient teams. The result of a team that works together is high productivity, integrity, and responsibility. You may say that good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after!
How do you feel about messy projects? Do you know any tricks that put everything back to its place? Let us know!
