		However, the idea always falters when it is pointed out that Portlandia has two distinct sides and a decision will have to be made, by a politician, about whether east Portland, across the river -- or the toney West Hills -- gets presented with her backside.

		Now, Portlandia is a handsome lady, but she is also rather large: 11 meters high and weighing in at roughly 6.5 tons.
		In fact, after the Statue of Liberty, she is the biggest hammered copper sculpture in the U.S. Portlandia is so big, in fact, that she had to be placed onto a barge and floated into the city.

	GETTING REAL
		Portlandia's strategy is more complex, and its valuation is higher, than is recognized by the business plan.
		The launching option held by Portlandia is analogous to a call option on a stock.
		By assuming that Portlandia commits to completing the development process and going ahead with the launch, the DCF valuation ignored an important flexibility that the firm really had.

		The hammered copper statue of Portlandia, kneeling with her trident, was designed by artist, Raymond Kaskey.
		The final decision to go with the Graves building was based, in part, on the idea that the controversial design would put Portland on the architectural map—which it did—and in part on price constraints, imposed by the city’s limited budget.
		Portlandia is the second largest hammered copper statue in the United States.

		On December 7th, 2003, the asteroid #757 (Portlandia) was seen passing in front of an 8th magnitude star (HIP 384), blocking the starlight for observers in Ohio, Ontario and the province of Quebec.
		From the David Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill, Ontario, a grazing occultation was seen.
		Existing photometry for 757 Portlandia is consistent with a non-spherical shape and one old observation for HIP 384 hints that it may be a spectroscopic binary (though this has not been supported by any recent observations).

		You will note in the text on the illustration that we showed good evidence that asteroid Portlandia is ~39km by ~34km, at least on the profile it presented to us.
		These updates to Portlandia's dataset will, I'm sure, be used to further refine the asteroid's orbit and to reduce the degree of uncertainty of any future occultations involving (757) Portlandia.
		It should be noted that this shape is only a two dimensional projection of the shape on a plane that is at right angles to the line of observation.

		For the landmark-challenged, "Portlandia" leans down from a perch on the west side of the splashy Portland Building, overlooking the transit mall on Southwest Fifth Avenue.
		Latteier thinks it's unfortunate that "Portlandia" is not a bigger symbol of the city, and that the image isn't better known.
		" 'Portlandia' is not really the image of Portland, the way that the Statue of Liberty is the symbol of New York or the Space Needle is in Seattle," he says.

		Forget the trident Portlandia waves at the City of Roses; chances are good that there's a sizable enough coup to replace it with a bike, as it ought to be.
		Until Portlandia swaps her choice of weapon, though, we'll just have to get by being named the best overall bicycling city in North America by Bicycle magazine (November 2001).
		Fueled on pedal power and power bars, Portland is poised to be the Oslo, Norway, of the Northwest--that city gives its workforce cash incentives to ride their bikes.
