text: The Very Best Wine iApps Paul Mabray April 10, 2011 FCG, Features 72 Comments It's been a year since our last iPhone report and the market has spoken. Mobile is here in force. Last year we looked at 75 wine iPhone apps that more than quadrupled since that time. With so many new apps we categorized them, explored their models, and measured them across twenty different factors. What we found was incredibly interesting and we have chosen to represent it in an infographic. This year we also chose the "26 Most Promising Apps for Wine." These apps crossed multiple categories and though none were perfect, they all represented incredibly innovative features, powerful tool sets, and incredible potential. We were heavily influenced by apps that helped either consumers or wineries succeed in the mobile arena. There were quite a few repeats from last year but definitely quite a few new players. These are the ones to watch and it will be interesting to see how they improve to make consumers and wineries use them on a daily basis. Mobile is here and wine is now in your pocket. A few notes to our infographic legend to help you understand some of the less obvious categories: Business Model: Extension – this is usually a free app that is an extension of the company's core business used for more branding or mobile exposure/usage (e.g. The Wine Spectator Vintage Chart). Freemium – A free app used to get the consumer to upgrade to a paid app or paid service. Startup – No clear model yet. App Types: Combo – Two categories as MAJOR features of the app combined to form a more powerful combination. e.g. Food pairing plus journaling. Cheers! And now for the results.

Thanks. http://www.vrazon.com Gabriella Opaz Thanks David! Larry Chandler Considering that the Android operating system is now overtaking the iPhone (though there may not be as many wine apps on Android), it might be helpful to include Android apps too. http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Thanks Larry – next time for sure. we also need to do iPad as well. After looking at 452 apps, we needed a break and something else to look forward to. http://cor.kz Jim Goodman Corkz is available for Android (has been for over a year) and we are doing a major upgrade to it as I type :-). http://www.facebook.com/winetastingtab Robert Ehlert Wine Tasting Tab app works for Droid (and all other Apple platforms). Wine enthusiasts who venture into the many wine regions of NorCal use it to create lists based on a winery's tasting room fee, menu, amenities and varietals. Once your list is created it provides profiles and the guides you on the tour. This version is very consumer-based, though wineries use it to announce special events as well. People new to Northern California wine regions use it plan, even going from one winery to the next. Others take it to the liquor store to look up background on a winery when they are considering a wine. It encourages people to get out on their own and find wineries that match their price point and preference. http://www.appbrain.com/app/wine-tasting-tab/com.logictree.wine http://www.vrazon.com Gabriella Opaz Interesting, but would be nice to know why each of these top 26 grabbed your attention, and as Carl pointed out, the actual names of the apps, since I can't read some of them. http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray We chose apps based on consumer value, winery value, UEX, innovation, social integration and social feature inclusion. Apps that cost more were graded harder due to price to value ratio. Pingback: Brandy Hauman » what CAN'T an iPhone do? I mean, other than make a phone call() http://winebrandsblog.com Eve Resnick Fascinating article. Thanks to VinTank for doing the leg work and to PalatePress for publishing the results. One question: wine travel is the third category in numbers (after Reference and Journaling) and you selected only 2 apps. Why is that? What were your criteria for selecting those two? http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Eve – travel was one of the worst categories as it relates to the players. Many were apps that were made by the same developer and just released over and over again for different regions. It was actually very disappointing as a wine category. http://palatepress.com Ryan Reichert Paul, Did you guys evaluate the AG Wine App? I'm biased as I wrote the Willamette Valley release for them, but I think their guides are good travel apps. http://www.agwine.com http://blog.wallack.us MSWallack I was a bit disappointed to see that Vinocella was not included in your list. I've found this to be the best program to keep track of wines in a user's cellar. http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Vinocella was rated and unfortunately did not stand out vs the other journaling apps. Geoff Yet you included Cor.kz, a truly diabolical interface, barely rescued by the database and links to good external sites. Velvet Vine happens to be my choice as the interface on both iPhone and web is so superior. http://www.simplehedonisms.com William Allen – Simple Hedonisms Wine Blog 'truly diabolical'? bit dramatic. Cor.kz is my number 1 used iPhone Wine app, and damn good IMO. Geoff I really do not know how Apple could let Cor.kz into the appstore, I will concede that the functionality is good, it will manage your cellar, but the UI is truly terrible and I do wish they had a lite version I could have tried first. http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Sorry but that is silly. It's like saying you won't back an ugly horse that is a fast runner. I'd rather support an app that rocks in features and is ugly that a pig with lipstick. Geoff Steve Jobs is renowned for insisting that Apple create not only good functionality, but also that the UEX is top notch as well. As an iPhone developer building my own app, (nothing to do with wine), I am endeavouring to follow the UI standards which the Apple developer program insists I follow. So I buy my apps accordingly, and I'm sorry if you disagree, but Cor.kz does not follow and I'm really disappointed with Apple in allowing it into the AppStore. Incidently your comment is just nonsensical, something that is born has no choice as to it's looks, an app however can be made to look as good as all the other apps. Anyway this is the end of my comments as I'm sure others are bored by such technicalities. http://www.nataliemaclean.com Natalie MacLean Thanks so much Paul and team for including the free Nat Decants Wine Picks & Pairings app in your review! We'll be launching a new version in the next couple weeks that will have some amazing new features, so stay tuned Cheers, Natalie http://www.nataliemaclean.com/mobileapp http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray We think you are doing amazing things Natalie. Keep up the great work. http://www.winewinewine.com Cor Balfoort Somewhat disappointed to not see WineStein wine&food pairing App here. I may be prejudiced but find it distinctly better than some combo apps presented here. http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Cor – WineStein has one of the best UEX in the selection of apps (especially in the food pairing category but overall as well). We are looking forward to watching your app closely to see the next series of features and innovations that you incorporate. http://www.winewinewine.com Cor Balfoort Coud you check if you indeed reviewd our latest (and free, beit with in App purchase of full functionality) release & design, and not the old 2009 version? Thanks Newest release is http://bit.ly/dQzUKk in App Store FYI http://nataliemaclean.com Natalie MacLean Thanks Paul! Those 8 years of hedonistic "research" were worth it now I'm off to add more wine and pizza pairings: 27 types of pizza is just not enough! Cheers, Natalie http://www.nataliemaclean.com/mobileapp Pingback: Hello Vino Blog() http://www.hellovino.com/research Rick Breslin [Hello Vino] @Paul – thank you for including Hello Vino in your follow-up report. It's amazing that there are six times the number of iPhone apps on the App Store in just eighteen months. Our team will keep innovating and adding features in order to remain among the top apps. Great work on the infographics, too! Will you also be publishing this report as individual infographics (App Prices, App Types, etc.)? We'd love to include a couple in our presentations. @Larry – We've experienced decent growth on Android. However, even with 300,000+ Android handsets activated every day, there is still some friction with distribution through the Android Market (app store) and device fragmentation (HTC vs. Motorola vs. Samsung, etc.). The recently launched Amazon Appstore may help Android users discover/install apps. Thanks again, Rick Breslin Hello Vino http://cor.kz Jim Goodman [Cor.kz] It was great being included in this. Thanks for the great work to Paul and his team. Love that there are so many wine apps in the store. I remember when we released Cor.kz that there were only about 3 or 4…. Cor.kz is continually being updated to meet the needs of our users and to stay on lists like this. We are about to finish a major update that will add new features to both the iOS and Android versions. Again, thanks to the Vintank team and to all our users. We couldn't do this without you :-)! http://www.ivinox.com Jose L. Castaneda Paul, Congratulations on publishing your report which is informational and timely given the explosion of mobile media in the sales & marketing of wine. It is obvious that wineries now need to have a strategy to address content distribution for wine enthusiasts who depend on mobile devices as their main source of content consumption. I applaud the work VinTank is doing in this area which does much to help the industry adopt new technologies. Thank you [Gracias], for including iVinoX in your report. Surprised to here that the travel sector was disappointing but, very glad to see that we were one of two recommended apps in this category. We are privileged to be in the same company as the other great apps and look forward to integrating the Cruvee engine into our iVinoX platform. Thanks brother, Jose L. Castaneda iVinoX http://www.dailygrape.com Jon Troutman Hugely flattered to have Daily Grape included in this year's list of the The Very Best Wine iApps. Another thorough report from the VinTank team! Sara With so many apps out there, what is the reason why these were chosen? How are these better? Is there a more in depth article to download? I am not seeing it on the page. http://www.wineangel.co.uk Tracy Lee Thank you so much to Paul and all the team at VinTank for including Wine Angel in the top listings for iphone Wine Apps! I am immensely flattered and it is certainly worth all the hard work and glad to know that there are other people passionate about revolutionising the way we view, educate and explore the world of wine! Looking forward to keeping in touch and seeing more of your work. Thanks Tracy http://www.simplehedonisms.com William Allen – Simple Hedonisms Wine Blog glad to see this again, will try some new ones, thanks for your work. I think last year you provided a bit of detail/insight on the winners. Any thing similar planned here? Hmmm, maybe I should review an app a week http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray I do plan to bring additional insight to the apps we chose and the reasons (sometimes singular) that we picked the top 26 Promising apps. http://www.simplehedonisms.com William Allen – Simple Hedonisms Wine Blog thats awesome, thanks! http://www.simplehedonisms.com William Allen – Simple Hedonisms Wine Blog Until they create the iBrain where tasting notes go directly from Palate to electronic journal, one of my biggest challenges at walk around tastings is a way to scribe notes on top wines, to report on later. I suck at left hand thumbing typing on an iPhone, am juggling spit cup, glass and other items. Have you (or anyone) found a better way via an app yet? After my iPhone (write size) , iPad (too big too one hand) , Netbook (my fave for seated tasting notes), I am reverting back to paper I think. (But my handwriting makes a doctor look like a calligrapher…and I have nothing to then tweet to a hashtag…) http://www.winebythebar.com Thomas McKay, Wine by the Bar @William – Although iPhone apps don't easily support it, Android apps (should) all support voice input in text fields. I'd suggest finding a friend with an Android phone and trying a few out. Voice input is on my wish list for Wine by the Bar since I've noticed how anti-social entering notes can be during a tasting on a phone. My lofty goal is: Scan the barcode of a bottle or picture of the label, speak a note, done. So many of these wine apps are not trying to solve any problems. Do any of these apps really offer anything to wine businesses? HelloVino, I think, with it's custom ads is closest. Bit disappointed with the lack of depth and details in this "best of" list. I have confidence the VinTank team (newly expanded with Cruvee) can be an info leader in this space. Tell us why some of these made the list. No offense to the hard-working creators, but the 426 that didn't make the list (myself included) are probably pretty confused by some of the choices. Respect and peace to all 452 teams! http://viniculture.pl Maciek Gontarz @Thomas – actually using catch.com (https://catch.com/learn-more/mobile/iphone) you can easily take a picture (but not a barcode) and than add voice note. To me it works really good! http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Thomas, We take your post especially very close to heart. We spent a lot of time valuing the apps based on two key factors: consumer value and winery value. Many did try to solve a problem for both but far less for the latter which explains why most are underfunded and not realizing much profit. We will expand the list and why we chose them. There was NO perfect app, but the ones we chose had the gestalt of multiple factors to make them promising and UEX (as limited as it was with even the 26 apps) played a significant role in how felt the entire package was delivered. There were MANY apps that had strong engines, or singular amazing concepts but didn't deliver enough in there entirety, had bad price to value ratios, were not continuing development, etc that we were forced to leave out. Understand that we recognize the blood, sweat and tears it takes to launch a product (we are all former or current product people) and our analysis is based on math, comparison against the competitive set, and more. We want to see all the wine apps get better and serve both consumers and wineries and are cheering each and every one of the 452 who believe in adding value (not trying to be part of the App gold rush). Later this week we will add a blog talking about multiple aspects of the report, highlight flaws in the market, and pointing out reasons we chose the top 26. Hopefully it will help other developers like yourself to see opportunity and capitalize on it more. As a side note, we think highly of WBTB. You are even one of the platforms we have partnered with for VinPass.com. As we have spoken to you about via phone, your app would have stronger penetration w/ better UI, UEX, and possibly branding to really penetrate the market. Your model to serve local retailers is really clever and rare in the market but there are some core features that are probably under the hood or need to be added to really ramp the app up. And as almost all the Apps, you suffer from the same challenges of being under-financed, slow customer adoption rate, etc which would really help you show your programming skills and bring something new to the market. Lastly, ALL apps are suffering from content collection efforts that waste 30%-50% of their resources which should be better spent on building features, improving UEX, and sales and marketing efforts. This is a major problem in this category for wine to succeed in the digital arena at all. Wine and winery data are the greatest (and most expensive) friction point for wine in a digital world. http://www.viniculture.pl Maciek Gontarz Great job Paul!!! I'm really impressed by research, as Sarah said – hopefully you will give us some detailed information on reasons of your picks. I just want to add two important (I think) things: – design – most of the apps you presented have something bad in common – ugly design, not user oriented, not following usability best practices (I know, I know, this is something very subjective). There is no point to list these apps here, because it could just start useless discussion, but it's worth to underline, that this is a problem. – in the category "journaling" you put "springpad" app. I understand your intention was to give some tools for quick taking tasting notes or something like that. If so, than you should add "evernote", "plaintext" and finally my favorite one "catch" (catch.com). http://www.viniculture.pl Maciek Gontarz forgot to add one more thing – some of the apps which are helpful in making wine tasting notes additionally allow users to take pictures + voice records. hope some of you will find something useful for yourself:] http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Maciek – agreed about the UEX. Even some of our returning star apps could use a good face lift and strong UEX. However, since no on seems to fund wine tech companies enough, I understand their lack of resources. I will add more about the top apps as in the upcoming weeks. Finally we didn't add "open note" platforms (even though a few of the ones you mention are great – especially evernote and I'll check out catch) but instead offered Springpad because it was the only one that has a dedicated category to wine. http://viniculture.pl Maciek Gontarz @Paul – yes, you're right concerning lack of funding for UEX, design and other things for "wine industry" category, especially for mobile platforms. I prefer catch over evernote mainly because it's easier, faster and allows to share notes. thanks for explanation. Robert Ehlert I think I am the only app out there for iPhone and Droid that searches wineries based on tasting room fee and menu. I have over 1,000 NorCal wineries in my list and profiles for each one: not just name, phone, etc. When you create a list on my app it can navigate you to the Winery. Doesn't leave you hanging with a pin cushion. I am the former Food & Wine Editor of the Sacramento Bee. I pride myself for accuracy, and though nobody or no app is perfect, I make it right when you say it's wrong. Wine Tasting Tab http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wine-tasting-tab/id398142510?mt=8 For Droid android.com/market. We have corresponded in the past, but I guess you didn't think my app very promising. Well, it sells for $2.99. I am working on my first 1,000 downloads. Hope everybody on here gives it a look. Best to you All What if there was an app that finds wineries based on tasting room fee, menu. There is: Wine Tasting Tab. You know what the wine room's fee is, range of $ for wines. Later I support NorCal wine. http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Robert, We did find your app interesting and we are watching it closely. Pls remember also that we judged apps harder that had higher SRP. We will divulge our key factors in a blog post later this week and are open to any questions. Best, P http://www.1winedude.com 1WineDude It's interesting to see how many of these apps include wine/food pairing, given the reducing role this is playing in our lives (for various reasons). Of course, it's still helpful to have it, but I wonder what the next innovation will be… wine + events/occasions, perhaps? http://www.vintank.com Paul Mabray Joe, I totally agree. There were lots of missing features and the categories of journaling, reference, travel, and food and wine pairing were pretty much saturated. Since journaling was so prevalent we did a deeper dive into the psychology of what makes a good journaling app that we will blog about soon (and that included experience, music, people, gaming, etc). jeff massey Hey Paul, have you had a look at the new wine guru app from gloo studios in Vancouver? I think it does a great job of food pairing as well as logging favourites etc. http://nataliemaclean.com Natalie MacLean Funny you should mention that Joe! Our app does pair wine with occasions, from birthdays and weddings to July 4 and Christmas Cheers, Natalie http://www.nataliemaclean.com/mobileapp Pingback: The Very Best Wine iApps : PALATE PRESS() Pingback: Terroirist » Daily Wine News: The Wonky Details() Pingback: Top Mobile Wine Apps, Salud! « winepugnyc() http://www.vinopigro.it Lizzy Hi Paul, and all you guys of VinTank, thanks a lot for this great work! I'll present it during my training courses for wineries on the use of new media. L. Pingback: Les meilleures applications pour Iphone sur le vin | Le gout du Vin -dégustation et accord mets/vins() Julien Hey, nice article but have you ever heard of the free wine tasting app called "Taste A Wine"? Give it a try, it was made by and for true wine enthusiasts. Martin Weinert Dear Paul, thank you very much for your very interesting information. Next weeks I will stay at the Loire valley and test three apps, relating to wine ("Vins de Loire", "Loir-et-Cher" and "French Wines" by Hachette). Afterwards I will publish a paper about the real benefit of using apps for the winelover. Are you interested in the resulats? Best wishes from Germany Martin http://www.jvhtreasuresforless.com jonathan does anyone know of a tool that can create these types of data views? particularily the green one that reflects # of apps by price model? http://n/a Ruedi maybe i'm too simplistic… …the main thing i would like to have in an app is access to a good rating-database of wine. e.g. i'm in the store and see 50 interesting bottles, i'd like to quickly see what others say about these wines the only app, which somewhat does this is cor.kz – yet the UI is not that great and the DB sometimes does not have all wines i look at => what other apps can you recommend in this category of rating-databases? thanks http://www.winestein-usa.com Jeff Murray Paul, This is excelent information. We are in the process of building an app and it would be great to be included and to get your feedback. Thanks, Jeff Murray WineStein Pro for iOS Pingback: Confluence: PR&Marketing CCV() http://winemob.me Bret C. – WineMob Great review. IMO an important thing that is overlooked by most wine social networks and apps is that the users are not able to price and locate reviewed wines, locally. We think it's tasting that matters so that we have published an app to solve that problem. WineMob is integrated with wine-searcher.com to provide pricing and merchant info of any reviewed wine. We also take advantage of social sharing, user can choose to add reviews to their FACEBOOK TIMELINE, Twitter and WeiBo – China's largest social network. We hope that when a user shares a review, other members can try it if they like the wine/review. BTW, our app is FREE – you can download via this link http://winemob.me Bret C. WineMob Team Wine is better when shared. Manish Another good app is the All Vineyards App for both iPhone and Android (http://www.allvineyards.com/apps) – allows users to find wineries/vineyards around the world. http://itunes.apple.com/kr/app/wain-opeo-for-iphone/id517196743?mt=8 Ran Are you use korea app, 'wineoffer'??^^ http://itunes.apple.com/kr/app/wain-opeo-for-iphone/id517196743?mt=8 http://www.wineamore.com Sergio Cocco Hi Paul, thanks for posting your review, it is really interesting. As I read that you will perhaps look also to iPad apps, please consider also our WineAmore app (free demo on iTunes), a Digital Wine List for restaurants, wineries and wine-bar. Ciao!! Sergio Julie M. There is a new iPhone app for recording your tasting notes called WineAlbum (www.zeode.com/winealbum). I think its worthy of your list! http://www.wijnrekkenwebshop.nl Wijnrek Wow very good app!

Dave Crozier ventured out from Ontario to BC on a combo mule deer/whitetail deer hunt in mid-November. He had hunted whitetails a lot back home but had never hunted mule deer, so he was intent on bringing one home with him.
Day 1 of the hunt started with a very vigorous hike through some of the grasslands and forests on one of the big ranches in our territory. We didn't catch up to any bucks on this hike, but about mid-morning, I glassed a couple of bucks across the valley in some nice grassland. The deer were 2 – 3 km. away, so I couldn't tell how big the bucks were. After our morning hike was completed, we decided to head across the valley for the afternoon hunt and have a closer look at the bucks we glassed. We hiked in above the area we had last seen the deer, and sure enough, as we crested one ridge, we could see bucks below us. It turned out to be a pretty decent 4X4, a 4X3 and a small spike buck. We looked the 4X4 over closely and after a discussion, we elected to pass on the buck and moved on to glass some more country. We saw a bunch of other deer in the next glassing location, but no decent bucks. We then elected to move back to where we saw the group of bucks and glass from there for the rest of the evening. The 4X4 had bedded on a nice ridge just below our new glassing location and looked regal laying there in the afternoon sun. Dave kept looking the buck over and commenting on how nice he looked. After about a half-hour of this, he commented that he would be happy to harvest this buck. I said it was his call, and he could take the buck or hope for a better one, as we were only on day 1. Bird in hand scenario took over, and Dave lined up for the shot. The buck eventually got up out of his bed and Dave made a perfect quartering-away shot with his .338 at 130 yards. Buck down on day 1!
We were then onto whitetails. We travelled to another large ranch in the area and started the search for a good whitie for Dave. We saw a couple deer from the road, tried rattling in one spot and did one push on a brushy draw where I had caught a glimpse of one deer in the afternoon. Two does came out but no bucks with them. We then looked at a new area that was heavily beaten-down with tracks, and hiked in and set up for a rattling sequence. I hadn't even finished my first sequence when I caught a movement to my left. I turned and saw a very good buck literally running straight at me! I turned to confirm that Dave was on the buck, and when I saw him bringing his rifle up, I dropped the rattling antlers and plugged my ears. I was a bit ahead of Dave, but he had a safe shooting opportunity on the buck and he made the shot. He hit the buck in the throat patch at about 25 yards and he was down. We were both in disbelief at what had just happened. We were both jumping up and down, hugging each other and the adrenalin was flowing. No ground shrinkage on this buck. His G2s and G3s are both over 9 inches. Nothing like shooting a big buck in self defence!
Dave had a good trip out West and was a great hunting partner. I look forward to another adventure with Dave in the future.


text: The MAcc program provides students with the background necessary to enter a career in public, private, or government accounting. The program focuses on understanding the role of accounting in managing business processes. Accounting careers vary widely in today's complex, global economy. Graduates may find themselves tracking illegal funds for the FBI to preparing financial statements for multi-billion dollar firms. Generally, accounting career paths can be described as financial reporting, assurance, budget analysis, management accounting, tax accounting, and federal contract accounting. Accountants may work for public accounting firms, public or private corporations, governments at all levels, or for themselves in private practice. The purpose of the Master of Accountancy program is to provide students with an academically rigorous course of study in accounting necessary for successful careers in professional accountancy in public, private, non-for-profit, and federal government accounting. Students have the flexibility to become educationally prepared for recognized certifications. The program is designed to satisfy the requirements of the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination candidates. The program exceeds the educational requirements for membership in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), as well as those to sit for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations. Qualified undergraduate accounting majors may be able to complete the requirements for the MAcc degree in one additional year of full-time course work beyond the bachelor's level, in what is called the 4+1 program (see below). Certificate in Public Accounting (CPA) To receive the Certificate in Public Accounting (CPA) an applicant must have a minimum of 150 semester hours, in addition to meeting certain course requirements. For complete details and requirements see the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy. Prior to taking the CPA examination, a rigorous review course may be necessary to improve one's ability to pass the examination. ACC 580 (Professional Certification) provides a complete and thorough examination and review of each of the four areas of the Accounting Standards and Procedures (Regulation, Business Environment and Concepts, Financial Accounting and Reporting, Auditing and Attestation). CPA Prep 4+1 Program The College's CPA Prep 4+1 Program provides an efficient way for students to complete their BSBA in accounting, complete the requirements to sit for the CPA exam, and obtain a Master of Accountancy degree, all in 5 years. The program includes 4 years of undergraduate study (leading to the BSBA with a major in Accounting) plus 1 year of full-time graduate study (culminating in the Master of Accountancy degree). Students who complete the CPA Prep 4+1 Program and pass the CPA exam have assembled an impressive set of credentials. Contact the college's Director of Graduate Programs for more information. Degree Requirements The MAcc program normally consists of 33 semester hours of graduate coursework. The program includes a minimum of 18 semester hours of accounting (including at least 15 hours at the 600-level) and a minimum of 12 semester hours in other disciplines (including at least 9 hours at the 600-level). The accounting theory class, ACC 680, should be taken toward the end of the student's program, must be taken at UAH, and must be completed with a grade of A or B (including an average of at least B on all individual components). A maximum of 12 semester hours of graduate work may be transferred from another institution. Program Prerequisites Program prerequisites may be satisfied by either of the following: (a) possession of a Bachelors degree in accounting from an AACSB accredited institution, or (b) possession of a Bachelor's degree and satisfactory (i.e., "C" or higher) completion of the following list of basic skills, business core, and accounting courses.

Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghazanfar Roknabadi poses during a ceremony in Beirut, Lebanon, Monday, Friday, Feb. 10, 2012. (The Daily Star/Dalati Nohra, HO)
BEIRUT: Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghazanfar Roknabadi said Tuesday Israel is the chief beneficiary of Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan's killing.
"The biggest beneficiary of such operation is the Zionist enemy," said Roknabadi following a meeting with Interior minister Marwan Charbel.
A statement issued by Charbel's press office said Roknabadi paid him a visit at his office in the ministry to offer him condolences over Hasan's death.
"I offered condolences over Hasan's killing on behalf of the Iranian republic which fiercely condemns such a terrorist attack," Roknabadi said.
Asked if Iran and Syria also benefit from Hasan's killing, Roknabadi said "Hasan played a key role in uncovering Israel's spy network in Lebanon, and thus he was a milestone to the resistance."
Roknabadi also said he hoped the situation in the country situation will return to normal after recent events.
"We thank God for the presence of wise leadership in Lebanon that can pass this stage as soon as possible," said Roknabadi.
Also asked if Syria had an interest in killing Hasan after he uncovered the Samaha-Mamlouk plot to carry in explosives to Lebanon, Roknabadi said "these charges are not sure yet, and let us not rush into things."
ISF Information Branch chief Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan, one of Lebanon's most important security figures, was assassinated in a car bomb blast Friday that ripped through the crowded neighborhood of Ashrafieh.
Hasan, 47, was known for his pivotal role in major security investigations Lebanon, including the probe into the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and the recent terrorism charges brought against former Information Minister Michel Samaha.
Appointed head of the ISF Information Branch in 2006, Hasan was instrumental in building the department and spearheaded its major cases, which also included a massive operation to dismantle Israel's spy networks in Lebanon.

Sarasota County bans smoking on beaches
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Sarasota County Commissioners voted 4-1 yesterday to ban smoking on all county park beaches. Commissioner Shannon Staub, who represents District 3, the southern part of the county, said the ordinance would take effect within the next 90 days as the county erects signs notifying beachgoers.
The fine for smoking on Sarastota County beaches will be $97. But Sarasota County Parks and Recreation Supervisor Rob LaDue said that first offenders should just receive a warning.
Straub said the litter from cigarette butts harms people, pets, and wildlife.
Sandra Washington is manager of the county program Keep Sarasota Beautiful. She supports the decision to ban smoking on beaches.
Washington said her group is trying to get the cities in Sarasota County to enact their own beach smoking bans. Similar beach smoking bans in other parts of the country have cut down on littering, according to Washington.
Commissioner Jon Thaxton was the lone vote against the ordinance, but he was not available for comment. Commissioner Staub said she heard much support for the smoking ban, but very few people contacted her in opposition.
District 1, in the north of Sarasota County, is represented by Commissioner Paul Mercier. He concurred that there was not a vocal opposition to the beach smoking ban.

CommentsRE Smoking
Commissioner Staub, I have heard about, through press release the banning of smoking on the beaches. As a natural born Sarasota Resident, I am thoroughly appalled by some of the decisions that are made by the county commission. You may have authority to vote and pass in your public agenda an ordinance against smoking on the beaches, but you have no legitimate right to even pass such am ordinance. The beach is public property not private. I believe the county has every right to set a standard for rules that would prevent someone from committing a crime against another person, violating a state or federal law, or participating in any activity which could potentially cause harm to others. That is reasonable. But you and the commission have no right to set any standard that discriminates against a person for smoking. You donât own the air or have any control over it. State law prevents smoking in a restaurant that serves food, only while food is being served and I understand that in a closed air environment. You have every right to dictate what happens in an indoor arena. The only agency in the United States that has any regulatory rights to the air is the Environmental Protection Agency. A government body in which you have no participation in, and whom themselves has never attempted such ludicrous authority. The reason you didnât receive much opposition to this is because of the lack of public notification that was provided. Your new ordinance is unconstitutional and if someone had to fight it in court, you would have very little backing from any court. Now, as we are both professionals, we know and realize that the likely hood of someone fighting it in court would be little to none, and it is for that reason only you would get away with it. You should ban gum chewing on the beach too while youâre at it, as it is made with chicle, a natural latex product, or synthetic rubber known as polyisobutylene. Chewing gum has a longer break down period than a cigarette butt, causes more of a littering and property damage problem (everyone hates stepping on gum and it ruins sidewalks) than a cigarette and is 10 times more harmful to birds and wild life. I assume you are talking about birds, because I do not see any Deer roaming our beaches. When in your entire history in Sarasota County have you ever seen a bird eat a cigarette butt? They will eat a potato chip and wonât even peck at a piece of a tomato. You think birds are so primitive that they will eat a cigarette butt? I bet my paycheck you have never seen a bird eat a cigarette. I walk downtown weekly. I see gum everywhere not cigarette butts, and there is no ban on cigarettes downtown. Most smokers have respect and pick up after themselves at the beach. Did you actually think that such a decision would help promote tourism in this town? No, what you just did was make the Sarasota beaches an intolerable place for 46 Million Americans, and 23% of international tourists to ever go. No smoker wants to go sit at a beach all day where they canât smoke. You just crippled your beach tourism. Matter a fact you may have just boosted the bar business and the consumption of alcohol along beach areas, because thatâs where all the smokers will be. I can see the headline now âSarasota County bans cigarettes on beach, forcing smokers into barsâ, âMan DUI kills tourist girl, from drinking in bar while his wife sat on beachâ. You and the commission have to have a much larger grasp on some of the horrendously poor decisions you make. I see the face of local business owners everyday who themselves are deeply impacted by poor decisions from you all. This smoking ban is an unconstitutional crock of crap from the commission. I have every right to smoke on the beach of a town I was born and raised in and support. Your ban, is banned by me for one as I will indeed not abide by any such ordinance. You think cigarettes are a problem on the beach, then enforce a littering fine. Oh wait, thatâs an ordinance which I agree with that has already been in place forever. I guess if your Deputies werenât so busy flirting with girls in bikinis they might actually generate some revenue dollars for Sarasota County with littering fines. After all thatâs what you really want is revenue. Maybe to help pay for the LED lighting that the County so poorly decided to purchase on a leasing plan with Siemens. That was a tremendously poor decision, did anyone even put a single effort of research into that. Obviously there you had no due diligence. The fact of the matter besides your prejudice to smokers and greedy revenue seeking, is that youâre making a law of banning to reduce smoking to cut down on littering when you canât even successfully enforce a 50 year old littering ordinance. Maybe your efforts would be more successful focusing on the enforcement of existing laws than to create new ones to further your inability to support existing ones and pissing off potentially 46 Million tourists who could opt to come here, but will more likely go to Manatee County. Maybe you just gave Manatee County tourism a big hand. You are catering this town to a dwindling number of supporters. Your local business owners canât stand most of what you do, because you donât even support the main people who make this city great, or did rather. Your office wouldnât be receiving an email like this if you would focus on your shortcomings and fix those problems before you place discriminatory burdens on tax payers and tourists. Heck, you canât even get the Sarasota Airport to be a success, while Tampa Airport flourishes to a city with no beaches. Keep Sarasota Beautifulâ¦â¦.. Ha! You want this town to be beautiful. Stop building parking garages with $20,000 ugly sails and parks in bad neighborhoods where the residents donât care, and cut a business owner a property tax credit for landscaping and painting improvements (in a color other than beige or beige) and maybe this town might be more beautiful. Sarasota County has turned to crap with politics that are bigger than the county itself. You have a sign permitting requirement that someone has to pay for a permit to change out the name of a business on an already permitted sign. Thatâs crap. Recently I heard about a small business owner, a woman, who has her business in gulf gate. She was fined last week by your permitting office because she put up a sticker on the existing sign with her business name without paying money for a permit. This woman is working her tail off already to keep her doors open, and canât afford your permitting process. So now she has to have the sign for her business flipped over without displaying it. How is that going to support her keeping the doors open. Manatee County doesnât require a permit to put up a new sticker. But you do. Of course you have no clue that it costs not only your permit fee, but the fees for a professional licensed sign guy to drive there to get it, so now itâs $200.00 to put up a sticker. This lady was in tears, and I donât blame her a bit. I guess Sarasota County needs to tax their citizens to death to pay for all of their continued poor decisions and seeking fines for smoking just fills the pot that much more. I hope you lose 14 Million dollars in tourism to Manatee County. Trust me I get it! I hope your Grand Kids become smokers and wonât visit you on the beach. Maybe even you might have a granddaughter who will do a little flirting with a Sheriff Deputy while someone litters and it doesnât get caught. Pissed off Taxpayer
Just Another...............
Waste of time & tax payers money! The cost associated with creating the ban & signage is just another waste of tax payers money. I for one would rather see enforcement of the other numerous infractions that occur on our beachs. I think enforcing the littering would be a much more feasable attempt to keep the beachs clean. That would apply to a smoker that leaves butts behind. I for one smoke, I never leave butts behind anywhere. I will continue to smoke at the beachs. I have had a few approach me and attempt to inform me of the "rule." I briefly inform them of my rights. This "rule" just gives the busy bodies something to do. Being I had one fellow recently ask me to stop smoking & claimed he was allergic. He was 30 yards upwind of me in 15 knot winds. It was totally impossible that he was affected by my smoking, yet he still tried and then informed me of the "rule." He was from New York & I am a native of 40+ years. I for one if ever sited for smoking on the beach will challange it in court as I did with a unrealistic parking violation that I recieved once at a local beach & won! BTW> Regarding that parking violation they must be instructed to issue these even know they are not enforcable. They count on the mass of people that are cited just paying the small 25.00 instead of challanging the validity of the citation. I for one was looking forward to my case with all the research and laws that I had on hand to defend myself. Unfortunate the county is very aware of this "scam" and dismissed my case before it even started. I continue to fall prey to their "scam", and every time I am issued a citation I request court, & every time it's dismissed before I get to speak. SHAMELESS!
It's total BS!
If you look at the signage on the beachs, there is no law or ordinance regulation number. There is something that mimics such and made to look like the "legal" signs that make patrons aware of a possible violation. I think the attempt is to scare people from smoking on the beachs. Here is some relative information regaring such....... "But county attorneys concluded that state law forbids cities and counties from regulating outdoor smoking. The parks department Tuesday said there are no plans to post "No Smoking" signs"............."To bolster its position, the county points to a 2005 legal opinion when Gov. Charlie Crist, who was then the attorney general, wrote that local attempts to regulate smoking "in any way other than that prescribed by the Legislature would be ... of no effect."
I will flick my butts wherever I want
This is just one more step toward complete and total nazi domination by the republicans!!! I should be able to smoke wherever I want and throw my butts wherever I want. I pay taxes and that's what taxes are for. Today, in protest of this new push, I emptied my ash tray on the street at a red light, on 66th street. Tomorrow I'll empty it at city hall. I envite all the mnf'ers to join me in this protest against tyrrany!
Not the friendly town I grew up in anymore
Having been born in Sarasota 57 years ago, I have seen many changes. This used to be a place you could park your car on Midnight Pass Rd, and walk down to the beach. There were no high-rise hotels and apartment buildings to block the view or restrict access. After a relaxing day at the beach, we would gather some driftwood and start a fire around which we sat and played guitar, have a few beers or wine, and generally have a good time. we weren't hurting anyone or anything. Sometimes the deputies might come along and just chat with us..... Now, we would all get arrested for such an occurence. Sarasota has lost it's way, and I, and my wife, can hardly wait to get out of here. We have ten acres in north FL which we can build a fire if we want, and play guitar if I want, and have a few beers or some wine, IF WE WANT. Enforce the littering rules that have been around forever. A smoking ban is foolishness and was conceived of by people with tunnel vision. Just one more way to regulate the populace out of here. My wife and I surrender, we're outa here. It was fun years and years ago. Bye
Turtle Beach rules
Smoking on the beach. More important than smoking on the Sarasota beaches is the trash thats left behind. Turtle beach has more butts per square yard than any other beach. There are no signs prohibiting smoking, and it is unenforceable. I object to paople burying their buttd in the sanf(cigarette butts). Also at Turtle people park in fron of the dune paths making it difficult for strollers, wheelchairs to pass by. Those people will be the first to complain about a scratch on their vehicle. On a busy day, why can't the police make a couple of runs thru that area? However since there there are not any signs signfying a no parking area, it would be a waste of time. Turtle beach is a uncontrolled area and some people who use the area do not have the courtesy or common sense to follow rules. Please stay home.
I visited Siesta Key beach last weekend and will not go again. I cannot believe I can't smoke on a beach. That is the dumbest thing I have heard. I visit beaches regularly and I dispose of my butts always. I live in Florida and I love exploring beaches and bringing out of town visitors, but not anymore. I won't even recommend. I understand the reasoning as SOME PEOPLE are rude and do drop their butts everywhere. Why not monitor these people and fine them when you see them dispose of their butts on the beach? There are plenty of law officers monitoring what I am drinking! I love visiting Siesta Key but if I have to walk all the way to a designated smoking area....forget it. I won't be back. Ridiculous.

- Stochastics Fast & Slow
- Stochastic Buy & Sell Signals
- Stochastic Price Divergences
Stochastic Fast
Stochastic Fast plots the location of the current price in relation to the range of a certain number of prior bars (dependent upon user-input, usually 14-periods). In general, stochastics are used to measure overbought and oversold conditions. Above 80 is generally considered overbought and below 20 is considered oversold. The inputs to Stochastic Fast are as follows:
- Fast %K: [(Close - Low) / (High - Low)] x 100
- Fast %D: Simple moving average of Fast K (usually 3-period moving average)
Stochastic Slow
Stochastic Slow is similar in calculation and interpretation to Stochastic Fast. The difference is listed below:
- Slow %K: Equal to Fast %D (i.e. 3-period moving average of Fast %K)
- Slow %D: A moving average (again, usually 3-period) of Slow %K
The Stochastic Slow is generally viewed as superior due to the smoothing effects of the moving averages which equates to less false buy and sell signals. A comparison of the two stochastics, fast and slow, is shown below in the chart of the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQQ):
As will be shown on the next page, Stochastics offer clear buy and sell signals and help in determining overbought or oversold price conditions.

Black Forest Fire caller to 911 dispatchers: 'It's burning fast!"
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - "Whatever it is, it's burning fast."
That's what a 911 caller told El Paso County dispatchers during some of the initial calls about what would become the Black Forest Fire, the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history.
CALLER: I'm looking at smoke. It looks like a large fire at the area of Shoup and Highway 83, maybe a little east of that.
DISPATCHER: It looks like it's in the area of Shoup and 83?
CALLER: Yes, maybe a little east of Shoup and 83.
DISPATCHER: OK. Can you see smoke and flames?
CALLER: I cannot see flames. I see a very large smoke and it's changing colors between black and white. It's really pretty good amount of smoke. Whatever it is, it's burning fast.
DISPATCHER: OK. We have help on the way.
The Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper obtained recordings of some of the 911 calls.
Many of the callers told dispatchers they could see white smoke, black smoke and some saw flames.
"I just came around the corner and saw the smoke," one caller said. "I can see smoke billowing from the trees."
The Black Forest Fire started on June 11. The assessor's office said 486 homes were lost in the fire.
The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association said more than 3,630 home and auto claims have been filed.
Investigators have not released the cause of the fire.

I have a script that writes a loader script for each native file in a destination tree and places it, with an optional dummy pz2 file, in a chosen location - the idea being to allow users (me) to rearrange their content, in the form of the loader scripts, without breaking the CMS, on the original, unmoved files. It seems to be working but now I'm wondering if I can write a script to match the loader with the original file (which should be possible by parsing it if nothing else), get the content type from the database, and associate it with the loader or the dummy pz2 so that i get the type overlay in the Content Library - without having to give the file all of the CMS entries for the original (it would be a pain if noth the real file and the loader appeared in the Smart Content pane.
So, is it possible (without Rob's having to write an essay in his copious spare time) to get a file's type from the CMS, and to give a file without an entry in the CMS enough information to show the type overlay without appearing in the same searches as the source file, using scripting?

Hillcrest was developed on two hundred acres of farmland in 1909 by William F. Wyckoff of the Hillcrest of Jamaica Company. Prior to development, the area was referred to as "The Hills," a name deriving from its location on the hills between Jamaica and Flushing. Situated in central Queens, Hillcrest lies primarily in Jamaica and partly in Flushing. This small residential area of mainly one-family houses and some 2-family and multi-family dwellings is roughly defined by Union Turnpike to the north, Jamaica Estates to the east, Hillside Avenue to the south, and 164th street to the west. The population of Hillcrest had became more ethnically diverse in the 1980's when immigrants from Guyana, Haiti, China, India and Colombia began settling into the area.
The 7,500 sq. ft library building situated in the commercial strip of Union Turnpike was completed in 1974, but its opening was delayed because of a fiscal crisis. During this interim, the building was rented out to several community groups. When it opened on April 28, 1980, it became the 54th branch of the Queens Borough Public Library system.

The Kardashians
Rob Kardashian Says Arthur George Sock Line Is "Only The Beginning" of Future Fashion Empire
He may eschew comparison to his famous sisters, but Rob Kardashian is taking a big page out the Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian book.
Speaking to InStyle, Rob said that his new high-end sock line, Arthur George, is only scratching the surface of a future style empire.
"This is only the beginning of my venture into the fashion world," said the tattooed entrepreneur.
The Kardashian sisters have already made a dent in the fashion market with their Dash clothing stores and Kardashian Kollection clothing line, which recently launched overseas at Dorothy Perkins stores in the UK.
Arthur George socks are currently sold exclusively at Neiman Marcus. Female fans need not worry: Rob promises that women's and juniors socks will soon be available.
That said, we can only hope to look as fabulous as Lamar Odom does in these babies!

Finding an Inverse Algebraically - Concept
Carl Horowitz

University of Michigan
Runs his own tutoring company
Carl taught upper-level math in several schools and currently runs his own tutoring company. He bets that no one can beat his love for intensive outdoor activities!
Once we learn the definition of a function's inverse we learn how to find the algebraic inverse, or how to find the inverse using algebraic methods. There are different methods for finding the inverse, the most common of which is to switch the dependent and independent variables and solve for the dependent variable. This is an important step in learning how to prove the inverse of a function.
Finding the inverse of a funtion Algebraically. So for this particular example, so what we want to do is find an equation for a inverse function. We're given a function here. In this case we know that our equation is a line. 3x-2 we know that's a line therefore we know it's 1 to 1 and it's going to have an inverse.
So how we find a inverse is by switching our x and our y, for this particular problem we don't have a y but what we need to remember is f of x is the same thing as y. So just by replacing f of x with y, 3x-2, I now have an equation using x and y. To find the inverse we switch x and y's, okay? So every time we see an x, we throw in a y, every time we see a y we throw in an x. Okay? And we're used to seeing equations of y equals. So really from here all we want to do is solve for y. Okay?
So do that as we would any other equqtion, add 2 to both sides x+2=3y divided by 3, x+2 divide by 3 is equal to y. And then we found y but we're asked to find f inverse of x. Once we switch our variables solve for y, this is now the inverse okay? So we can replace our y with our inverse notation. x+2 over 3. Okay?
So to find the inverse, it's quite simple. So make sure you if you have an f of x replace it with y. solve through sorry. Switch your x and y's. Solve through for y making sure to replace it with your inverse notation at the end.
Now some teachers do this a little different and I just want to touch on that for a second. You don't have to switch x and y right here, okay? What you could do is actually solve for this x and then switch it. In general, I tend to shy away from that just because I'm so used to solving for y where what I've done is I've done problems where I haven't switched it. Halfway down the problem I forget that I'm solving for x, go back solve for y and I end up with exactly what I started with. Okay?
But if you can keep track what you're solving for, that's perfectly acceptable. For me, I always switch it. Fairly one of my first steps solve for y and then just make sure you replace your inverse notation.

Children who are diagnosed with VACTERL usually have 3 or more anomalies of the structures listed below:
Tethered Spinal Cord is a cord that is bound down or restricted. The tethered spinal cord cannot move freely as the child bends and moves about.
The sacrum is the large triangular group of bones at the base of the spine. Normally 5 bones make up the sacrum. The size and number of vertebrae in the sacrum will help to determine prognosis of urinary and fecal control. If part of the sacrum is missing or if the sacrum is absent, the nerves that control urinary and bowel function are abnormal. Missing vertebrae or parts of vertebrae may lead to scoliosis.
A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is present at birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of major birth defect associated with imperforate anus. The type and severity of cariac defect vary in each child.
Esophageal atresia is a defect in which the upper esophagus ends and does not connect with the lower esophagus and stomach. A Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is when the esophagus connects with the trachea.
Approximately 50% of children born with anorectal malformations have an abnormality of their urinary tract. The kidneys may not form normally or function properly, urine may reflux from the bladder up toward the kidneys, or the bladder may be small or not empty properly.
The internal female structures, also called gynecologic or reproductive structures (uterus, fallopian tubes, and upper part of the vagina), grow and develop in the fetus at the same time as the urologic and gastrointestinal system. Girls born with anorectal malformations may have abnormal development of these structures as well.

Director, WSGS
P.O. Box 1347
Laramie, WY 82073
New Yellowstone Website Provides Interactive Maps on Volcanic Activity
The Yellowstone Plateau in northwestern Wyoming has a long geologic history – earthquakes, expanding and retreating glaciers, rising mountains, powerful geothermal explosions, and cataclysmic volcanic eruptions, the most recent of which was the Yellowstone Supervolcano, which erupted 640,000 years ago. Today, the region is a geologic marvel, with one of the largest remaining ecosystems in North America and the world's largest concentration of geysers.
The Wyoming State Geological Survey's (WSGS) Yellowstone Geologic Geographic Information System (GIS) Database at www.wsgs.wyo.gov/Yellowstone is a new interactive website providing researchers and students alike with a look into Yellowstone's geologic past and present.
"Geologically, the Yellowstone area is one of the most interesting places in the world," said Wallace Ulrich, director of the WSGS. "This website was designed to gain a better understanding of the Yellowstone hotspot where a future volcanic eruption, fracturing, or the release of geothermal fluids from the caldera may occur," he said. "We are offering this resource to the public so they can learn more about the past and current geologic activity in the region."
Interactive maps illustrate the geology, earthquakes, and hydrothermal areas that make up Yellowstone National Park. The site includes downloadable GIS data sets that allow students and researchers to view layers ranging from past geologic events, to satellite imagery, lake bathymetry, and volcano monitoring equipment in the park. The data can also be viewed via Google Earth with 3D visualizations of the area.
The WSGS created the website as an educational information portal, representing a major collaboration between the WSGS and staff of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). "The aim of this project was to have a central repository of GIS information so we could collectively improve our efforts to identify, display, and analyze volcanic activity in Yellowstone," Ulrich said.
The WSGS Yellowstone Geologic GIS Database website includes:
- More than 20 data sets available to download (individually or combined)
- High resolution LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and digital elevation models
- Earthquake data (historical and current)
- Geology (bedrock, surface, geothermal, etc.)
- Hydrography (bathymetry of Yellowstone Lake)
- Other information (trails, place names, boundaries)
- Interactive Mapping Application
- Live webcams
- USGS Live Earthquake Feed
- Ability to search earthquakes in the park by magnitude and date
- Print map feature
- Media Gallery
- High resolution photos of the park
- Videos of the Yellowstone Caldera by the USGS
The website's main feature is a searchable map of Yellowstone that was created by combining data from a variety of state and federal sources into a single GIS database. The interactive map includes an overlay of colors representing different types and ages of rock. A user can then add various layers to the map such as topography, imagery (with zoom capability), and even query a search of earthquakes in the area by typing in a minimum and/or maximum magnitude and the years of interest.
"This map will be a tremendous resource for students interested in Yellowstone or learning about the area's geology, past earthquakes, and volcanic activity," Ulrich said. This project would not be possible without the support of US Sen. Mike Enzi, and former member of Congress, Rep. Barbara Cubin, as well as US Sen. John Barrasso, and US Rep. Cynthia Lummis, he said. "I would also like to thank Dr. John Eichelberger with the USGS and his team of scientists as well as acknowledge all the work of our staff with the WSGS toward this project."
The present Yellowstone Plateau developed through volcanic cycles spanning two million years that included some of the world's largest known eruptions. The Yellowstone region includes three calderas: the first cycle caldera formed 2.1 million years ago during the eruption of the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff, the Henry's Fork Caldera formed 1.3 million years ago, near the town of Island Park, and the Yellowstone Caldera formed 640,000 years ago during the eruption of the Lava Creek Tuff, an event that spread ash over much of the North American continent. Since this time there have been approximately 80 additional but smaller eruptions such as lava flows. The youngest of these range from 70,000 to 160,000 years old.
"Interestingly," said Ulrich, "the volcanic events that formed Yellowstone were not the products of many million years of geologic change ending many millions of years ago; we are seeing a time scale compressed into only the last 2.1 million years." For the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, geologists and volcanologists study in detail the latest periods of geologic time, the Pliocene and the Quaternary, covering the last 5 million years out of 4,500 million.
Yellowstone's geologic story also includes earthquakes such as the Hebgen Lake earthquake of 1959 near West Yellowstone (magnitude 7.5). "This was a major earthquake," said Jacob Lowenstern, scientist in charge of the USGS Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. "It fractured geothermal reservoirs in Yellowstone, creating new geysers and destroying others. Flow rates and temperatures of hundreds of hot springs changed over night," he said.
Data collection and the mapping efforts of the WSGS are intended to further research and information on Yellowstone's geologic past and future. "With this Web-based tool, we have assembled data from a host of research entities into a single searchable format," Ulrich said. "This website will be continually updated providing us with the opportunity to interpret the past and hopefully plan for the future of Yellowstone," he said. "And if the past gives us a glimpse for what is to come, we know the Yellowstone landscape will continue to change."
Also available on the WSGS website (www.wsgs.wyo.gov) is a link to information on landslides in the state. The WSGS has mapped more than 30,000 landslides in Wyoming, and maintains an active database of these locations.

Would Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Make a Cute Couple?
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis played an adorably vapid couple on That '70s Show for eight seasons, so we know they can be a cute twosome on the small screen. But how about in real life?
Just two months after a story broke about the former co-stars enjoying a three-day weekend getaway together, Life & Style reports that the actors were spotted out at a romantic dinner at Giorgio Baldi in L.A. with two other couples — Mila's managers and their husbands — on June 23.
"Mila and Ashton looked very close, like a couple, and the mood was relaxed," a source spilled to the mag. "It's very obvious that they're dating and are really into each other. Friends don't have Saturday night dinner dates at Giorgio Baldi!"
That sounds compelling and all, but how romantic can a dinner with your managers really get? (Just sayin'.) Plus, Mila laughed off the first round of romance rumors while at CinemaCon 2012 on April 24, not long after their weekend trip. "It's very absurd," she said. "It's a friend. A friend is a friend."
Whether they're just friends, friends with benefits, or something more, we think they'd be absurdly adorable together. Do you agree?
