Friday, October 19, is proclaimed "Geologic Mapping Day" in Oklahoma by decree of Governor Mary Fallin. The proclamation outlines the various functions of geologic maps that include city planning, geologic hazard evaluation, oil and gas exploration, non-fuel and building material location, recreation areas, hunting and fishing plans, and much other needed information.
In celebrating Mapping Day, it is nice to remember that one of the most important and comprehensive mapping projects ever undertaken by the Oklahoma Geological Survey, a state agency for research and public service, began in southeastern Oklahoma in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains, and lasted in the Ouachitas alone for eight years.
In 1985, staff members from the Oklahoma Geological Survey, the Arkansas Geological Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey met in Norman to make plans for a multi-year program to map the geologically complex Ouachita Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Arkansas.
The 22 maps of COGEOMAP and the later STATEMAP can be viewed and downloaded at no charge from: http://ogs.ou.edu/statemap1_22.php [2]
Many people in southeastern Oklahoma will remember meeting Neil Suneson and LeRoy Hemish who tramped the Ouachitas for many years checking out the geology, consulting previous maps, and making friends in the area. Hemish has since retired from the OGS, but Suneson, a bearded and gregarious geologist who is always happy to talk about his work, remembers the friendly people, the beautiful scenery and the fascinating geology.
He also is proud of the many important accomplishments of this project.
"Where we started mapping in the Ouachitas (northernmost part) it really hadn't been well mapped by anybody since the 1926 geologic map of Oklahoma by Hugh Miser. Most of the other parts of the Ouachitas had been mapped in one fashion or another by a variety of people – professionals and students – and at different levels of usefulness and believability. But those areas had at least been mapped to some degree and someone had walked over the ground. Not so of where we started."
"Also, this part of the Ouachitas was adjacent to the Arkoma Basin, which has long been a proven gas province. Our thought was that if any "practical" application was ever to result from our mapping, sticking next to a gas province was probably smart. Turned out we were correct," he said.
Suneson also is proud of the fact that COGEOMAP really did put the Ouachitas "on the map" again, so to speak.
"From a scientific viewpoint, our work also resulted in a number of other people doing studies in the Ouachitas, mostly as student theses (and mostly from OSU), but also some professionals. We got a number of industry people to publish their work, which is something that never would have happened if we hadn't been working down there. All this is to say that our mapping laid the groundwork for a number of other studies in the Ouachitas."
Before this extensive project, the geologic complexity of the region had caused many to choose other areas for study.
"By showing how complex the surface geologic structure was, I think we gave the petroleum folks some inkling of what they were in for in their exploration efforts. The tight folding and faulting we mapped on the surface is something that can often be seen. It's also present at depth, and that is now reflected in some of the cross sections that the industry folks published. I think we also were able to describe some aspects of the sequences of different rocks and the way they contorted and that aided exploration efforts. And one strictly scientific result came out of our work – that some of the sediments in the Atoka Formation were derived from the southwest; company policy at this time had everything coming from the east."
Over the years, Hemish and Suneson conducted many field trips to the area for exploration geologists and helped to give new understanding to the economic potential of the area.
"In one case, LeRoy and I took a coal miner out to look at some property; we looked at an outcrop of coal and after the company did some exploratory drilling and some leasing they opened a coal mine – just southwest of Red Oak. It's pretty cool when someone uses your work to do something worthwhile that benefits the area and state," Suneson noted.
He is still very involved with the area, leads many field trips there and is often asked for input on the Ouachitas. The COGEOMAP project evolved into STATEMAP, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. STATEMAP at the Oklahoma Survey is spearheaded by Geologist Tom Stanley, and is on track to product a new digital map of the entire state.
The COGEOMAP and STATEMAP maps are available online at the OGS website: http://ogs.ou.edu/level2-geolmapping.php [3] They can be found under the heading "Quadrangle Maps, STATEMAP".

Soft and perfect for after training
The reason I gave this 4 stars and not 5 and why I put it feels to big is because I am petite and these pants were really long on me. I tried adjusting the length by tying the straps at the bottom but they made me look funny so I just trimmed the length and was good to go. I really like the fabric because its warm enough for cold weather and early morning training sessions and nice enough to wear on a warm day as well. I think the quality is great and despite the changes I had to make (which I already expected) I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Purchased to remove the steering stem bearing on a 2011 YZ 125. It took a couple trys for me to get it positioned correctly - you need to pull it through far enough to catch the bearing, but not all the way through the bearing. Once I got it positioned correctly, a couple light taps with the mallet and the bearing was out. I like it!Read All Reviews
Larry in TX
Let me preface this by saying, the tool works awesome. Hands down. It literally took me longer to unpackage and do the little assembly to the tool then it did to remove the lower steering stem bearing using the tool. It works flawless. Much better then trying to pry it off with screwdrivers or cut it apart with a Dremel... It is a bit pricey, but mainly, I was disappointed that it didn't include a case for the price paid. But it was a mild disappointment, and I'm glad to have it and the frustration it saved me from having to hack the job out...Read All Reviews

That's cool but im still staying with AT&T
Verizon iPhone -- Can they hear you now?
Verizon boasts of being "America's largest and most reliable network" and I've been putting that claim to the test. I've been comparing reception, voice quality, how quickly voice calls are placed, and messaging speeds with AT&T's iPhone. To see my results, follow along after the break!
First off, it's important to note that my testing took place in Denver, CO. Networks vary depending on location, so someone in a different parts of the country may obtain different results.
I must be going to all the wrong places, because I have yet to find a place where Verizon and AT&T both have 5 bars at the same time. One of networks seems to always have 1 or 2 bars more than the other and it's an even split between who has more bars more often. So, in my experience, AT&T does not have "more bars in more places", but only in some places.
With that said, I have not had a single dropped call on the Verizon iPhone 4 - not even a skip.
The dreaded 1xRTT
However, Verizon is not immune to that dreaded little circle that, on AT&T's GSM network, indicates GPRS. In fact, minutes after purchasing the Verizon iPhone 4 from the Apple Store, Ally called my AT&T iPhone 4 as I was leaving the parking garage. As you likely guessed, the call dropped. I instinctively grabbed the Verizon iPhone to check the reception, and there it was - the circle! But what exactly does this mean on Verizon's CDMA network?
When that ugly little circle appears on a Verizon iPhone, it is indicating a connection to 1xRTT which is basically CDMA's version of GPRS. According to Wikipedia, it supports packet data speeds of up to 153 kbps with real world data transmission averaging 60–100 kbps. It's probably not even worth trying to surf the web when connected to 1xRTT because of how painfully slow it is.
Voice Quality
I've heard many people praise Verizon for their superior voice quality, but I honestly didn't notice a difference. Ally had the same experience; neither one of use could differentiate the voice quality between Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4's.
Making a voice call
You know how there is always a pause between the moment you place a phone call and when you hear the ringing tone? Well, this pause is consistently shorter on Verizon's iPhone. When placing the same phone call (regardless of network) on both iPhones at the exact same time, the AT&T iPhone was always sent strait to voicemail while Verizon's iPhone went through with the call. To see the comparison in action, check out the video above.
Sending messages
The last thing I tested was sending SMS and MMS messages. In every instance, the Verizon iPhone sent out SMS messages faster than AT&T's iPhone. We only talking a matter of seconds, however; so in the grand scheme, it's not that big of difference. With MMS, Verizon usually sent the message quicker than AT&T, but as you can see in the above video, AT&T did win that race once.
Overall, I do agree that Verizon provides the iPhone 4 with a more reliable network in Denver, CO; however, AT&T isn't far behind. AT&T's network is very solid here and I generally only get dropped calls when in situations like in a parking garage. The best advice I can give is that before deciding which network to purchase your iPhone 4 with, ask around. Find out the reputations of the the networks in your area.

Verizon iPhone -- Can they hear you now?
It just goes to show you that people want to feel good about the choice they have already made. Most folks on AT&T are still under contract and it would be a relatively high burden for them to break contract and change networks to Verizon. Since that is the case, they look for any perceived advantage found in the choice they have already made.
There isn't anything necessarily wrong with this as long as you realize you are usually going to succumb to this. You've already made a choice and part of human nature is trying to feel good about that choice. For most of us, we think of the choices we make as a bit of a reflection of ourselves, if we admit a choice we made was a poor one, what does that tell us about ourselves?
Verizon for both.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It said it on the ATT phone (calling Verizon).
I would like to see that test from an ATT iPhone to another ATT device see if the results are the same. It would be logical to think that Verizon phones call other Verizon phones faster than calls to different carriers.
I don't know what part of houston you live in, but it's rock solid for me.
and hence lies the lie!
Verizon current net work is a "network" of purchased rural carriers (mostly analog), no 3g there.. when they move to 4G, which will be the same as AT&T, we will see the pain they'll suffer because they have to build a brand new network from scratch.
At&t just needs to deploy the 700mHz signal (purchased from the old analog tv signal) for better penetration in buildings and just flip a switch when the 4g is ready to go.
Besides Verizon has awful business practices with their customers. At&t has bad customer service and bad employee treatment, but at least they don't steal (for the most part and best of my knowledge).
I have been through all the incarnations of At&t and never had a bad experience. Of course I am not expecting to have reception in the underground!
and my iPhone? great!!!
Verizon dropped to 1xRTT in that same building.
Actually, at the building where I work (which is like a concrete bunker) both carriers have about the same signal strength outside. Inside, Verizon has no signal and AT&T gets about three or four bars. That's because AT&T here (I'm in the same area as Leanna) is on a lower frequency. I've also found AT&T voice quality to be much better than Verizon. However, our area got a major upgrade a little over a year ago.
Whats the point? Its two totally different infrastructures. GSM has always been slower than CDMA! Nothing new there! Just Saying....
that test didnt prove anything
Actually that depends on which version you're comparing. CDMA has been faster than GSM for longer than it's been the other way around.
But regardless of that, the move to 4G isn't a move to GSM or CDMA. Verizon moving to LTE is a real move toward "4G" since that LTE network can easily be updated to LTE Advanced, a real 4G standard. T-mobile and AT&T are just pushing their GSM as far as they can go with it and call it "4G" even though it's going to cap out real quick. And Sprint, I don't know wtf they're doing...
That's what they say. But they seem to have delayed when they were supposed to have started introducing it.
Actually Verizon is calling their new LTE they will be rolling out "4G" when its not either. "well well well".... ATT is advertising 4G because their GSM speeds are the same as the other carriers supposed "4G", so whats the difference. They are all lying to the general public. Thats marketing for ya
Just incase you missed it, all GSM carriers are also switching to LTE (or wimax) as well. So GSM is "dying" as well.
CDMA was cheaper to deploy, more reliable, and more secure than GSM was when both carrier's started building out their networks. ATT just started getting faster than CDMA carrier's in the past two years. (Verizon had entire old 3g network upgraded to RevA by 2007) So yes, ATT is faster now, they have the "better" technology. but it took them years to implement it, and at the expense of a lot of coverage.
Now when they are rolling out LTE, they're missing spectrum in a lot of key areas, meaning that for their users, they'll go from LTe to Edge. IT's all cost benefit.
I have the iPhone 4 on AT&T, no real complaints. My brother in law just got it on Vdub. We both did speed tests in separate citties but when we had the same bars showing and my phone on AT&T always did at least twice the speed as his on Vz. Just pointing out the speed on AT&T is still way faster. Even if it has issues. I really don't.
About 6 months ago I was an AT&T Blackberry user, and switched both myself and my wife to Verizon Blackberry phones. Both of us were very disappointed with the sound quality of calls. It sounded like Verizon significantly compressed the audio. Since we used the phones for business, and the sound quality was better on AT&T, we switched back before the 30 days were up. Now I am an iPhone user, and would be hesitant to try Verizon again. I'm assuming we would experience the same thing.
I must have a lemon. My Verizon iPhone is horrible. I drop 70% of my calls, where my Verizon BB never dropped 1 call. Data is slow at best, an battery life is the worst loses about 15% an hour
Take it back and do an exchange.
Spent a lot of time in Colorado. Its a beautiful state which means a lot a travel. Compare Verizon's 3G network in the state to AT&Ts. Nuff said. Won't even mention that lovely 4G network Verizon has in Denver since the iPhone can't take advantage of it.
@freak. . What happened to Tebow......You changed your name? But you didn't change your desire to troll.......
Some things never change.
When you sent the texts, did you check how fast they were delivered?
That's even more important than how fast it gets sent - because sending is only indicating how fast it's getting to the carrier's servers, not how fast they are delivering it to the recipient.
Here in Canada on Rogers - a text can be delivered in seconds, hours, or not at all :(
Verizon Wireless will never get my business. They could give me a smart phone for each day of the week and I'd still say no. Beware, VZW will screw your bill up to the tune of about two grand, openly admit they did it, and refuse to fix it. Like they did me. So, no. No Verizon Wireless.
i agree and also their customer service and tech support are useless and they don't care about customer....
i forgot and also they suck in Puerto Rico, and they tell you the offer you service over there. that is a false ad.. the should take Puerto Rico from there map..
And if you going to travel out of USA you have to let them know so they can set your device. What kind of crap is that? ain't telling to anybody where i'm going..
I have to disagree there. I have been on AT&T for a year now, but before that i was on Verizon and when i went to Puerto Rico, i never had any issues with my signal except when i was in the middle of the island in the mountains. For AT&T my parents where in Puerto Rico as well and no issues either. Oh and when i was on Verizon, i did not have to call ahead to have them change or set up anything because i was traveling to Puerto Rico.
i have to disagree with you my friend, first to all there is not verizon in Puerto Rico, they sold their towers and service to claro (another pos company)..
I had 9 or 10 months using a blackberry storm 1 and 2 (i had 9 devices in that time). i went twice in Puerto Rico 10 days each trip. i had 0 service in ponce puerto rico. i had voice service in san juan and 0 data service..
i soon i came to the states i went to get my iPhone 4 (by the way i will never buy another POS, blackberry i do regret changed from iPhone to blackberry, but we all humans and we do make mistakes).
So don't tell me you had service.. and also call them to let then go you going out of USA, so they can set your device (POS blackberry in this case) please. and then dial *286 i guess to set up your network come on, you don't have to do that with att, sprint or tmobile, no even with metro pcs..
This could be because you're using a Global capable phone, so your phone was trying to find a GSM signal. Since Puerto Rico has a CDMA network, CDMA only phones should work just fine in it. Global capable ones might struggle because it's looking for a GSM partner when it should be looking for CDMA (you can update this in your settings)
Agreed. I've gone through 6 BlackBerries in a year and a half on V, and every time I've gone in with a problem they've been more than helpful, even giving me new batteries with my replacement phones. They also found a massive discount for my family's plan, since my mother (primary on the account) works in our public school system, we get 15% off our bill every month. They've easily swapped around update times, extended our 30 days with our phone (went in after 40 because we were on vacation and they swapped phones all the same), etc etc. VZW has been nothing but a positive experience for me!
all those "massive discounts" are available in At&t as weel and for sure the other carriers. Also if you had to go through 6 devices in a year isn't that telling you that they are giving you crap with a smile? and I bet you that every time they smiled at you they extended your contract for two years! isn't that great CS???
this website is getting pay from verizon. that's is way the just talk about the verizon iPhone and they trying to make the att iphone look bad..
the iPhone with att is way better and useful. i least i could tether my laptop, use my iPhone at the same time, make a phone call and i don't loose my connection... you people can hide that...
In every town I've lived in The best consistant speeds I can get from ATT are EDGE. Verizon had 3g even when I was in the middle of nowhere. Talk and Surf only works on ATT 3g so for me, and millions of others, that little "marketing term" is pointless.
Not to mention I have wifi at my house, at work, at my favorite coffee shop and at my favorite pub, so I can talk and surf on my Verizon phone every time I need to. When I'm doing things like driving or hanging out with friends (where I don't have wifi) I typically have other things I need to pay attention to.
Ah I see that she actually said calls and texts from both her phones were going to Ally's Verizon phone. That compllicates things - as pointed out by an earlier reply. The AT&T phone had to cross networks on every test - the Verizon phone was only dealing with it's own. To be fair you'd have to test crossovers in both directions and staying on the same network for both phones.
This is interesting I was messing with my girlfriends verizon iphone and mine a couple minutes ago. Did some data speed tests with both phones having around 3-4 bars. I loaded the same NYT page and my phone was done loading in 23 seconds and hers loaded about 20 seconds later. After I loaded the tipb page my phone took 10 seconds hers took 23 seconds. Then I did a text message hers loaded a 1/2 second after mine. She got her phone 2 days ago. She has dropped 2 calls to her mother who is also on verizon. She also mention that yesterday she had no service for a couple minutes when she was in the outskirts of the city. But her calls to me have been great all the way through the call and crystal clear. So lol I don't know. Guess it depends on where you live with any carrier. And why don't people check the coverage of the carrier before they sign up instead of bitching later on.
Yup and we can all run a VoiP app (such as Line 2, which I subscribe to) and talk over data. I've been using two numbers with my iPhone 4 that way and I don't even think about it anymore as to which one uses the cell and data network. (actually, yes, I do, because I get such a kick out of it still haha)
When T-Mobile started calling its network "4G", I laughed, but since AT&T made the brilliant marketing move of taking a nod from T-Mo, it kind of legitimized the whole thing and now AT&T can claim that it will be the only network with TWO flavors of 4G. (as it already does) :D
And why not? It does make sense in a way, as AT&T's HSPA+ will be faster than both Sprint's 4G (WiMAX) as well as Verizon's initial LTE rollout. I already get 3-6Mbps on my 3G HSPA 7.2 iPhone 4. I did some speed tests in a restaurant during "prime time" (8-9pm) earlier tonight and I kept pulling down speeds of over 5Mbps every single time except for once @ 4.7Mbps.
I'm looking forward to the iPhone 5's HSPA+ 4G radio this summer. I hope it'll be 21Mbps, but it will definitely be at least 14.4Mbps. They could leave the design alone (I adore the glass on both sides) and call it the 4GS. ;-)
Um, no. Verizon's LTE implementation peaks at around 32Mbps while AT&T's HSPA+ implementations peak at 21Mbps. On top of that AT&T seems to only be interested in implementing HSPA let a lone HSPA+ in major cities while Verizon will likely push at least it's base LTE implementation out to more rural areas, areas that already have Verizon EvDo and where AT&T still only offers EDGE or GPRS. And while AT&T focuses resources on HSPA+ (a tech near capping out on speed) in major cities that could instead be focused on either implementing an LTE network or at least on expanding HSPA out to more rural areas, Verizon will be implementing a faster network that could much more easily be updated to a real "4G" standard, LTE Advanced.
What I'm hoping to see with the government pushing for rural high speed wireless and a nudge from Verizon to it's regional partners that the base LTE implementation spreads out to the rural areas pretty quickly.
I think you need to dig more into what Verizon and ATT are actually doing in regards to LTE. Verizon's first LTE offering will have a "theoretical" max speed like you mention, but in their tech release it said that real world "peak" speeds will be around 14Mbps and average about the same as ATT's HSPA+ around 7Mbps. There is a very good reason they dont use all of the bandwidth for these technologies. Even the HSPA+ bandwidth is not fully utilized. I invite you to go to wikipedia and look it all up. Im just sayin
good thing i don't make any calls. It's about the DATA Speeds for me.. which is why for NOW i'm staying on ATT
Fixing the article to reflect this: It doesn't matter which network I call, Verizon always gets through first.
I'm just glad the iPhone is now available on more than just one carrier. First it was ios vs android and now it's Verizon vs AT&T. All I know is, if you have horrible service with AT&T, then go with Verizon, and if it's the opposite, then go with AT&T, it's really that simple. Side by side, there isn't a major difference in data speed, trust me. And lets face it, simultaneous voice and data REALLY isn't that important, it certainly wasn't for me. AT&T is horrible in my area, so I couldn't wait to make the switch to Verizon! I've had my phone since Monday the 7th, and I'm very pleased with my decision! I know other people have said it before, but can't we all just get along and be happy with our iPhones! Let's just go back to bashing android, ha!
Every network has dead spots. If you're standing in one of them, your phone isn't going to work. If you LIVE in one of them, your phone isn't going to work most of the time. This is why it's important to test your new phone on your new network in all the places you go regularly, during the period when you can return your phone for a full refund.
"Tests" like this are totally subjective; you can get a better comparison of expected performance using the vendors' own coverage maps. But doing a meaningful independent test would be prohibitively expensive, and you need something to fill column inches.
And 1xRTT is not that bad. When Sprint introduced "3G", what it was was... 1xRTT. 1xRTT on Sprint totally kicks the ass of EDGE on AT&T. (I can't speak to Verizon, because I haven't had a Verizon phone since they were GTE and their coverage sucked so bad I couldn't use my phone at home.)
I live in Denver too!!!
I'm so glad I came across this post, not only for the info about the new iPhone, but because we just moved to Colorado and our Sprint service is HORRIBLE! We have been trying to decide whether to go to AT&T or Verizon and this may have sealed it. I get a discount at both, but I would like a phone that a - I don't have to charge all day so that it doesn't die on the way home and b - I don't miss calls from my kids school, which has already happened twice with Sprint.
I live in a fairly rural area and have had iPhone for 3 years now. I ordered the verizon phone and am currently using both. Ive discovered (at least for me) that verizon drops as many calls as my AT&T iPhone. My calls made from home on verizon are muffled and distorted. Not that AT&T is much better but it is...a little better. Data is really, really slow for me. In conclusion, I hate to say it, but I will be returning my verizon iPhone before the 30 days is up.
Where I am a major city and a Verizon customer for 15 years prior to the Iphone 4 came out. I can say my experience with Verizon was tons of dead spots and a lot of dropped calls. Data on Verizon was slow and the final straw is locking everything down and the PRICE. Switched to AT&T along with my entire family and the in laws. I pay $50 less per month and get a ton more. Data is consistently fast havent found a dead spot yet some areas outside city limits i'm on edge but I don't mind. Went to Estes Park and it was funny watching the people with Verizon,sprint and T mobile walking around with there phones in the air trying to get a signal and I was on egde talking away and on the web with a smile on my face. Bottom line AT&T has been real good to me so far.
about topic "Making a voice call" it's not related to the phone technology (cdms vs gsm), but to the telecom infrastructure...
It's the time that it takes to see if the destination exists, which will be the applied tariff, if you have enough balance to make the call or not, etc.
Those times are very hard to reduce, as it usually implies changes in hardware or make huge changes to software.
I live I So Cal and have never had any problems with my AT&T service and I'm sometimes on the road quite a bit. I love the rollover minutes, being able to be on web and answer a call at the same time and the no-nonsense pricing plan. But when we went to Mammoth we got zero reception while our friends with Verizon had no problems. I told Verizon that the only way I would go with them is if they could combine my FiOS bill with the wireless plan, give me a discount after switching and give it to me on one bill. They said they could not combine the two for one bill. They will miss a lot of opportunities because of that. Verizon has to come up with more than getting coverage in Mammoth for me to switch. Oh I love FiOS!
Thank you for following up on Rusty; we have received the check and appreciate your prompt handling of his claims. The web site for Doodle owners (Doodlekisses.com) had a discussion last week regarding pet insurance companies; I posted about the excellent experience that we have had with Petplan, which received several positive responses from other owners considering insurance.

State launches effort to track EEEBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | March 31,2013State and federal health officials are cooperating in a study of Eastern equine encephalitis, a mosquito-transmitted virus that killed two Vermonters last year.
Theres no specific hypothesis, said Matthew Thomas, an epidemiologist with the infectious diseases section of the Vermont Department of Health. Because theres, honestly, very little known about what the prevalence of the triple-E antibody is in a population. We want to see what it is in Vermont.
The plan is to draw blood from volunteers, ages 12 and older, who have lived in Brandon, Whiting or Sudbury since at least June 1 of last year. The first recorded EEE deaths in the state were in Sudbury and Brandon last year. There was also a horse death and the virus was suspected in the deaths of a number of emus on one human victims farm.
Thomas said researchers hope to get 150 to 200 people at each of three clinics being organized to collect blood.
The first clinic runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 23 at the Brandon Senior Center on Forest Dale Road. The second is noon to 7 p.m. May 14 at the Sudbury Town Hall. The third is noon to 7 p.m. at the Whiting Town Hall.
Blood specimens will go to the federal Centers for Disease Control for testing and results will come back to Vermont for data analysis. Thomas said he hopes to have preliminary results eight to 12 months after the final clinic.
Researchers will also ask participants about activities that might increase risk of exposure, seeing if particular activities correlate to a greater level of infection.
I think, typically, when people present with triple-E illness, that is the first time we know theyre infected, he said.
However, participants will not be told the results of their tests. Thomas said the test being used is not approved for clinical use and may only be used for the study.
He said there is also a fear that a negative result might make a participant think he or she is immune. Finally, there is no course of treatment for someone who is infected but does not show symptoms, according to Thomas.
Thomas said those worried they might be infected can be tested by their doctors.
The primary purpose of what were doing is to find out what the current burden is right now, he said.
The state already monitors the mosquito population.
The only thing that was extremely alarming for me is last year, at one site where Ive trapped for a few years, there was an exceptionally large vector for Eastern equine encephalitis, state entomologist Alan Graham said. It was in Whiting.
EEE is found primarily in one species of mosquito culiseta melanura. Graham said other species are known to carry it, but that there was discussion on how important they are in transmission of the disease.
Culiseta melanura is particularly important, Graham said, because EEE is found primarily in birds and that species feeds heavily from birds. He said the disease appears primarily in July and August.
It disappears in October and nobody knows where it goes until it shows up again in July, he said.
Mosquitoes carry a number of different diseases, Graham said, but most do not affect humans.
Larvacide has proven effective in controlling the populations of mosquitoes that would otherwise appear in enormous numbers following summer rainstorms, he said. Last year, because of the public health emergency, was the first time the state used a pesticide aimed at adult mosquitoes.
That appeared to be very effective, but it was late in the season, he said, adding that it would have been even more effective earlier in the year.
Graham said he expects more such mosquito treatments this year due to last years deaths.

Rated 4 out of 5�by PnkPD Defines shape, super nice fit! Just tried on the dress, and loved the fit. True to size, definitely stretches. Defines curves. However, Leatherette material on strap looks kind of flimsy, but if your only looking for a couple of wears on the dress you should be fine! Hope I could assist with your decision! December 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by Mish1 Design of the dress and fit could have been better I tried this dress in the store and decided not to get it. I liked the caged sides of the dress; however, it didn't fit tight enough in that area and so it didn't look good. The front trim on top of the bust area looks kind of boring; just not very flattering for some reason. December 5, 2012

Members of the Republic of Texas government, other members and guests meet at the Silver Eagle Taphouse in McQueeney on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013.
McQUEENEY — If the day comes when you stand for the Texas National Anthem before a ballgame, you can thank several former Soviet satellite republics, your Texas twang and a bunch of good old boys (and a couple of women) who have been working to rewrite American history for 20 years.
A national anthem means Texas will be its own country, and the folks behind today's Republic of Texas movement will have convinced someone somewhere that Texas never was part of the United States.
Their plan, surprisingly, doesn't rely on secession, which is the mistaken belief the Lone Star State has the constitutional right to sever ties with the U.S. government and reclaim its national sovereignty.
"We don't need to secede," said Bob Wilson, a Republic of Texas senator. "We never were part of the United States."
The modern Texians claim the state of Texas exists because of electoral and diplomatic fraud.
Because of that, they consider themselves a government in exile, running the affairs of an occupied territory for about two decades.
Mainstream scholars and politicians believe them to be delusional. Republic officials realize that but remain motivated and idealistic that they're doing the right thing for the right reasons.
Violence is not on their agenda. They are seeking a peaceful way out of the United States, and as far-fetched as it sounds to run-of-the-mill Texans, they believe they can pull it off by pleading their case before the international community.
This isn't a giant movement of angry Texans. For starters, they aren't angry and there aren't that many of them.
Half of their 14 Senate seats and 26 of their 36 House seats are empty, as is the office of attorney general. Each member of Congress represents wide swaths of the state that don't conform to modern political boundaries.
The group is predominantly Anglo, middle-aged men, and almost all of them live in the eastern two-thirds of the state. They've been meeting at sites all over that area for years.
A meeting this weekend was scheduled at a Waco restaurant. They met at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Bryan before coming to McQueeney last month.
Most have no political experience. Wilson is a mechanical engineer living in the Metroplex. Secretary of State Billy Ford is a plumber in Iola. The chief justice of the Supreme Court is a construction worker who declines to publicly state where he lives. President Richard Perkins, a head of state by his own definition, doesn't like being photographed.
A free nation
Their story begins March 2, 1836, when concerned and principled men from across Texas gathered in a barn on the banks of the Brazos River to create a free and independent Texas.
Jump ahead to last month, when a different set of concerned and principled folks, about three dozen from across Texas, gathered in a shuttered beer joint on the banks of the Guadalupe River to continue the cause of a free and independent Texas.
Tables were pushed together on the dance floor of the Silver Eagle Taphouse. A podium was set up on the stage. Neon beer signs flickered in the background. The ad hoc chambers were wired for sound so that the events during that day's joint session of congress could be recorded for posterity.
Wielding a gavel and a copy of "Roberts Rules of Order," Vice President Willia Holley presided over a half-day joint meeting of the House and Senate. It included discussion of buying a pre-fab metal building to serve as a capitol, administering the oath of office to a new legislator and a plea from President Perkins to update the Republic's website, texasrepublic.info.
Everyone was intense, but upbeat. There was very little angry rhetoric or anti-government talk. The group was focused on reclaiming and building their homeland.
"I wish we could stay in the Union, because the U.S. has become the greatest force for charity in history. But we can't," Supreme Court Chief Justice Ray Cannon said.
There was discussion about elections and how only Texians, Texans who have made the decision to support their cause, should be considered eligible to vote. A Texian, Cannon added, should consider himself a citizen of the Republic of Texas and not American.
The meeting also included several long speeches from Cannon about the noble mission of resurrecting the Republic, which spills into Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming.
"We're not here just to be a group. We're here for all of Texas," Cannon said.
The case
This incarnation of the anti-federal movement is unique because it's peaceful. Previous versions have been assembled as paramilitary patriot groups and focused on secession, hinting at armed insurgency.
Secession long has been the Loch Ness Monster of Texas political lore. Like Nessie, the idea that Texas has some right to secede at will has its believers, but its existence has not been proven.
Denied by courts, ignored by elected officials and refuted by every historical scholar for 167 years, the myth of the state's right to pack up and bid adios to Uncle Sam nevertheless lives on.
The topic of secession went viral last year. Despondent over President Barack Obama's re-election, tens of thousands have signed online petitions asking that their respective states be allowed to keep their tax money and go it on their own. Texas, not surprisingly, leads the nation with more than 100,000 signatures.
The White House has politely but firmly refused to act on any of those petitions.
The Republic of Texas folks, however, think they have a winning strategy, based on what they consider dirty politics in the 1845 annexation process back when Texas truly was its own country.
The Republic's supporters argue that Anson Jones, fourth president of the Republic of Texas, illegally rammed through annexation.
The U.S. offered membership in 1845 and Jones quickly called for a constitutional convention. Modern-day Republic members claim only 13 Texians were among the 57 delegates present.
A 10th Texas congress was elected shortly afterward, and it would have dealt with the issue, but it never took office. Instead, a state legislature convened in 1846 and Texas joined the United States.
Cannon laid out the legal case during the McQueeney meeting to other members.
The precedent for such a strategy being successful comes from another continent. With the Soviet Union collapsing in the late 1980s and early '90s, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania emerged from 51 years of occupation to regain their sovereignty.
Those countries were similar in many ways to Russia, but maintained their own cultures. Texas, as the slogan goes, is a state of mind. It's got enough of a distinctive culture that it can make a similar claim.
Then there's this: Earlier this year, in a report titled "Human Rights Violations in Certain Countries in 2012," the Belarus Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the U.S. of human rights violations for suppressing Texas' independence movement.
Cannon held up a photocopy of the article for the McQueeney meeting.
Add all of that up, mix in the Texas Declaration of Independence of 1836, nine years of national sovereignty and the allegations against President Jones, and the Republic thinks it has got a pretty solid case to file at the International Court of Justice at The Hague.
Republic officials aren't sure how their legal case actually will unfold. It could take months or years, Wilson said, to do the necessary research and prepare the arguments.
Till death do us part
Scholars long have held that history doesn't support any scenario that attempts to pry Texas from the United States.
Texas indeed was an independent nation for nine years, says Randolph "Mike" Campbell, chief historian for the Texas State Historical Association. But the allegations against Jones are unproven, he says, and the case of an occupied nation is not supported by fact.
"There's simply nothing to those claims," Campbell said. "Those are just mythological things."
The U.S. Congress approved Texas' annexation. Jones called the constitutional convention — at a time when it took days or weeks to reach remote parts of the state — to grab the deal while it still was on the table, Campbell said.
The new state constitution passed with only one dissenting vote. The only vote against it, Campbell says, was from a guy who had an ex-wife in Philadelphia. He had moved to Texas, when it was a republic, because he swore he'd never live in the same country as her. Hence his "no" vote on the constitution.
Texas voters went to the polls to cast ballots on the referendum on Oct. 13, 1845. It passed 4,254 to 267.
Then there's the ultimate do-over: the 1869 Supreme Court decision in White vs. Texas.
In that case, which was about Texas' status and how that affected repayment of overdue bonds, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that everything that happened before then was pointless.
Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, writing for the majority, said the state had entered into an "indissoluble relation" with the U.S.
"The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States," he wrote. "There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States."
And for most people, that was that.
That won't deter the Republic of Texas from marching on. They realize it's an uphill struggle, Wilson says, but that it's worth the effort.
"The heat's about to get turned up," Cannon told the crowd ominously. "Are you ready? And it's going to get white hot."

One thing that was never covered (and just watched the keynote in full moments ago) is a solution to the rather outdated Address Book. Hopefully some photos in the long list of my contacts would add a bit more color or interest to a often used and overlooked tool (Apple please fix the mess you made of the iPad).
I can't help but notice a few subtle features "paying homage" to many Android based phones with some features but overall the UI elements look great on a white iPhone 5. I bought the black/slate model and have a feeling it's going to look rather odd.
Overall I'm still very excited about this update and hope some new alert sounds come with it to replace the tired ones that have been around for ages.

Chapter 6: Requisites
Chapter 6: Requisites
Establishment of Prerequisites, Corequisites, and Advisories
- 6.1 Overview
- 6.2 Selection of Type and Level of Preparation
- 6.3 Completing the Review Process
- 6.3.1 Content Review
- 6.3.2 Additional Review
- 6.4 Enforcement of Prerequisites and Corequisites
- 6.5 Limitations on Enrollment
The purpose of this chapter is to provide course outline preparers, program coordinators, department chairs, and Curriculum Committee members with guidance as they start the process of establishing course or program prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories. The Matriculation Office coordinates the review process of all proposed requisites. The process, in brief:
- Departments submit the necessary documentation through CurricUNET. The Assessment and Prerequisite Coordinator (of the Matriculation Office) reviews and advances the documentation to the Prerequisite Review Subcommittee (of the Curriculum Committee).
- The Subcommittee reviews the documentation on behalf of the full Curriculum Committee and recommends approval or disapproval of the prerequisite, corequisite or advisory.
- Requisites that are recommended for approval are placed on the Curriculum Committee meeting agenda for full Committee consideration of approval.
Questions about procedures for selection or establishment of prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories should be directed to the Assessment and Prerequisite Coordinator in the Matriculation Office.
Evaluation of the need for the establishment of prerequisites or corequisites to a new credit, degree-applicable course is initiated either by the department proposing the course or by the College Curriculum Committee. The final determination of need is based on the following Title 5 guidelines:
- When the College Curriculum Committee determines that a student would be highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade unless the student has knowledge or skills not taught in the course, then a prerequisite or corequisite shall be established.
- If success in the course is dependent on communication or computation skills which are not taught in the target course, then prerequisites or corequisites equivalent to eligibility for associate-degree level English and/or math courses shall be established.
If either of these conditions exists, the Curriculum Committee approval of the course for degree-applicability is contingent upon assurance that the department has begun efforts to establish the necessary prerequisites.
The specific policies for the establishment of CCSF prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories is based on the CCCCO "Model District Policy on Prerequisites, Corequisites, and Advisories on Recommended Preparation".
Section II.C of the Course Outline of Record is used to indicate any proposed prerequisite, corequisites, and/or advisories for a course and the Curriculum Committee considers this section when examining the outline for approval. However, approval of the prerequisite, corequisite, or advisory also requires separate review of the requisite justification, as indicated in CurricUNET proposals. This information is acted on separately by the Curriculum Committee, but during the same meeting. Inclusion of approved prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories on the Course Outline of Record is required prior to submission of the course to the State Chancellor's Office.
Revising only a Prerequisite, Corequisite, or Advisory
If a department wishes only to revise the prerequisite, corequisite, or advisory for a course, they shall submit a Modify Course or Modify Program proposal in CurricuNET and update the requisite information.
When contemplating the type of preparation needed for a course, departments must decide whether the preparatory knowledge/skills are either recommended or required. Consider the following:
- If a student is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade in a degree-applicable course unless he possesses preparatory skills not taught in the course, then a prerequisite must be established.
- If two courses work in parallel, where the skills gained during the same term in one course provide essential support of the objectives of the other course, then these courses must be established as corequisites.
- Advisories should be established if a student's likelihood of receiving a satisfactory grade in a course is greater if he possesses preparatory skills (not taught in the course). Advisories are not required and do not limit enrollment. They are intended as guidance for students.
If communication or computation skills are needed for success in the target course or program, then the department will need to consider the appropriate English, ESL, or math course level that will provide the preparation needed. For credit, degree-applicable courses, Title 5 stipulates the establishment of prerequisites equivalent to eligibility for Associate Degree-level English, ESL, and Math courses. At CCSF, this means eligibility for ENGL 96, ESL 170 and MATH 860. However, for non degree-applicable courses, the course level of prerequisites will likely be lower.
Departments should consult with the English, ESL or Math Departments for their recommendations regarding prerequisite course levels based on their review of course material (e.g. textbooks, assignments, evaluation criteria). If needed, the Assessment and Prerequisite Coordinator can facilitate these communications.
To request approval for a prerequisite, corequisite, or advisory, departments complete and submit a course or program proposal through CurricUNET.
Content Review is the only level of review required to establish an advisory or a sequential prerequisite within a discipline (e.g. CHEM 40 to CHEM 101A, or ESL 130 to ESL 140.) The requesting department will facilitate the completion of the Content Review information which is embedded in the CurricuNET proposals.
Content Review Process
Through CurricuNET, faculty who teach the target and prereq/coreq/advisory course describe the relationship between the target and requisite courses as follows:
- On the requisites tab, choose the requisite courses from the menu. Those courses will bring in SLO data from those courses.
- Explain why the skills/knowledge learned in the requisite course are essential (prerequisite) or highly recommended (advisory) for success in the target course. Refer to specific content and instructional methodology (e.g. assignments, instructional materials) of the target course. These details can be written as a paragraph or a list.
- On the Content Overlap tab, list the names and departments of three faculty who wrote or were consulted in the writing of the Content Review, and who are knowledgeable about the requisite and/or target course. This "Content Review Panel" usually includes the department chair of the target course.
Model of completed Content Review
The example below clearly describes how the knowledge/skills learned in GRPH 101A are necessary for the successful completion of assignments and understanding of concepts taught in GRPH 101B.
Under the Content Overlap tab of the CurricUNET proposal, list the names and departments of three faculty who wrote or were consulted in the writing of the Content Review, and who are knowledgeable about the requisite and/or target course. This "Content Review Panel" usually includes the department chair of the target course. Then summarize the discussion and consensus that occurred.
Student Learning Outcomes in GRPH 110A
- Construct single- and multi-page documents with text and image according to industry standards.
- Apply & understand basics of typesetting.
- Create & apply styles to format text & objects.
- Create & manage graphic elements on the page.
- Create and apply spot and process color to text and objects.
- Preflight and package a document.
Knowledge/Skills learned in GRPH 101A are applied in GRPH 101B as follows:
GRPH 101B is an advanced Adobe InDesign page layout course, requiring an understanding of basic page layout techniques and principles taught in 101A, such as creating single-page and multi-page documents, setting type according to professional standards, and importing graphics and manipulating them.
The advanced course instructs students to

A student unfamiliar with the concepts and practices presented in GRPH 101A would be highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade in GRPH 101B.
When proposed prerequisites/corequisites are not from the same discipline as the target course – e.g. communication or mathematics prerequisites to non-communication or non-math courses, the department will need to provide additional evidence of the appropriateness of the prerequisite/corequisite. Either of the following two types of evidence is acceptable:
- Evidence that at least three CSU and/or UC campuses have established the same level of prerequisites for the same level target course.
- Student outcome data (e.g. final grades) demonstrating that students' satisfaction of the prerequisite is correlated to success in the target course. To allow time for data collection, the department may establish English, ESL and/or math prerequisites for a course on a pilot basis, using only the Content Review process. After two years, if data demonstrate that students are "highly unlikely to succeed in the course without possessing (language or math) skills not taught in the course," then the prerequisite (or corequisite) will remain in effect. The Assessment and Prerequisite Coordinator facilitates the processes of data collection and analysis in collaboration with the Office of Research and the instructional department.
Once a prerequisite or corequisite has been approved by the Curriculum Committee, the department is expected to consistently enforce it for all sections of the course, preferably through the Banner course-registration system before the start of classes. Students who do not meet the stated prerequisite are blocked from enrolling in the course, and are referred to the Matriculation Office if they have questions. Contact the Assessment and Prerequisite Coordinator, Matriculation Office, for further information about Banner enforcement of prerequisites.
Students may challenge a prerequisite on the grounds that they have the prior knowledge or ability to succeed in the course despite not meeting the stated prerequisite. For a description of the challenge process, see Challenge of a Prerequisite or Corequisite in the online or print CCSF Catalog.
A "Limitation on Enrollment" specifically refers to a condition or requirement that a student must meet prior to enrollment in the following types of courses:
Performance Courses
Courses in this area include intercollegiate athletics, theatre arts, and music, for which an audition or tryout may be required.
Honors Courses
Honors courses require a specific scholastic aptitude prior to enrollment as students enrolled in honors sections will be expected to perform coursework at a higher standard than in traditional sections of the course.
Cohort Courses or Sections
This refers to courses or sections in which enrollment is designated for a specific cohort of students. Examples include learning communities such as the Puente Program.
If you would like to establish a Limitation on Enrollment, contact the Assessment and Prerequisite Coordinator.

Q:Can I also use this bubble bar in the shower as a soap?Asked on 7/8/2015 by jada from Chicago, IL
2 answers
A:The Comforter doesn't actually cleanse. It softens the water a bit but it's a bubble bath. It might leave skin softer but not cleaner. Others have also noted that it dried out there skin.
Also, the bar is pretty fragile after it hits the water. A little bit of pressure is enough to make it crumble. It would be awesome if you could use it as a soap, though. It smells superb.Answered on 7/22/2015 by Jessa at Reference from Ohio
A:No unfortunately not, the texture would crumble and it would be much too intense and drying for your skin.Answered on 7/15/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Is it okay to use this while you have a sunburn? Or should I stay away from that?Asked on 5/23/2015 by Kasey from Grand Rapids, MI
1 answer
A:While you would want to be extra careful with the sensitive skin of a sunburn, Sodium Bicarbonate has been known to be healing o the skin. There isn't anything in there that I could see to be harmful to the skin, as long as the burn isn't to raw or sensitive.Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:Can you use a bath bomb and a bubble bar at the same time??Asked on 3/16/2015 by Bella
2 answers
A:You absolutely can! Feel free to mix it up. That being said, all of our products are amazing and special on their own as well!Answered on 3/20/2015 by Meg from LUSH Direct
A:Yes! You can combine any of the bath products if you want! This is known as bath cocktailing. hope this helps!Answered on 3/16/2015 by Anonymous
Q:So are you saying after bathing with a bubble bar that it is necessary to rinse off after. I thought bathing with your products whether it's a bath bomb, bubble bar, or bath melt that rinsing after is not necessary as you will only end up rinsing off the oils and the scent as well.Asked on 1/5/2014 by Bathlover newbie from Ann Arbor, MI
2 answers
A:We don't think you would need to rinse off after using our bath bombs or bubble bars, unless you would like a weaker scent left on your skin.Answered on 3/21/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I personally do not rinse off afterwards. There isn't a problem unless you use multiple bath products at once which will leave a stronger scent...Answered on 2/23/2014 by KT loves LUSH from Potomac, MD
Q:In the video, the woman breaks the comforter-like bubble bar in half and crumbles it into the bath. Is it really only half of the bubble bar that gives off this many bubbles or should I use the entire bar for the maximum amount of bubbles? If I could save half for a second use, that would be amazing!Asked on 7/23/2013 by DeeLushious from Las Vegas, NV
3 answers
A:I have a standard regular bathtub and I found that I could get 9 baths out of this bubble bar and still have a tub full of long lasting bubbles, you just really have to stir up the water to take full advantage of the bubble bar.Answered on 8/31/2014 by Shania from Guelph, ON
A:The Comforter is big enough to yield enough bubbly goodness for at least two to three baths, depending on your water and how many bubbles you'd like! Have fun!Answered on 9/20/2013 by Megan from LUSH Direct
A:The key is to agitate the water to get lots of bubbles just like any other kind of soap, I would for normal water pressure use half, but my trick was I had a "Jacuzzi mat" it kept the water agitated so I got over 10 uses from one bar.Answered on 8/14/2013 by Pumpkin from Menomonie WI
Q:is this safe for a child, like will it burn their eyes?Asked on 8/3/2012 by angela from centreville, va
1 answer
A:We strongly recommend not allowing the bubble bars to get into the eye area, as this will sting a lot! We advise that bubble bars should only be used by those over the age of 7. Bath bombs are more suitable for kids younger than 7, and we have a lovely array that kids love. Might I recommend the Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb?Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:I love the smell/color/everything about The Comforter Bubble Bar but I want a more moisturizing experience. Any suggestions for good bath bombs/melts to cocktail with it?Asked on 5/8/2012 by Kim
3 answers
A:Ooh, I love using the You've Been Mangoed bath melt with the Comforter as it will make the bath smell like fruit punch! Also, I'd recommend rinsing well after the bath, and topping your skin with some of our Retro lotion Skin Sin which has a light cherry fragrance. Delicious!Answered on 5/11/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:I have used the Pink Bath Bomb with this and loved how my tub gave off a sweet candy shop smell, but if you would like to go even further than that add the Happy Blooming or MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment bath melts in accordance with The Comforter and the Pink Bath BombAnswered on 5/13/2012 by Ben the wannabe Lush employee from Beverly, MA
A:you can use happy hippy and pink bath bomb. also you snap the whip.Answered on 5/15/2012 by misshotpink100 from new York City, NY

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
To The Editor:
Town Meeting day is approaching on Tuesday, March 4. Many of us will attend our polling place and vote. However, I realize that on this day some people will be traveling for work or school break, some will be at home with young children or the invalid, and others will simply be unable to make it to the ballot box.
I'm writing this letter to remind us all that we can still vote -- or help a neighbor vote -- even if getting to the actual polling place is impossible.
There are two simple steps: First, make sure you are on your town's voter check list. You can check the lists posted in town offices and post offices, or call your town clerk. For all towns, the deadline for getting on the voter check list is Wednesday, February 27, at 5 p.m.
Second, obtain an absentee ballot. The deadline for picking up an absentee ballot is Monday, March 3, at 5 p.m. You can pick up your absentee ballot from your town office or have one mailed to you (make mail requests a few days earlier than the above deadline). If you choose to pick one up in person, you can fill it in right there and leave it or take it with you to complete. If you intend to mail your ballot back, it must be in your town office's mailbox by
Tuesday, March 4; any ballots received by mail after this date will be void.
You must request or pick up an absentee ballot yourself, but you can have someone else deliver it to your town office prior to Town Meeting day or to your polling place on Town Meeting day.
We are fortunate to live in communities where our votes truly count and make a real difference for local elections and issues. Thank you.
Sandy Tarburton
Waitsfield, VT

Sat, May 26th, 2012, 11am to 11.45am PST – we will be broadcasting LIVE! (as long as the internet connection is strong enough)
Join me for this LIVE netcast celebrating my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast". This event is being broadcast from 11 to 11.45am PST on Sat May 26th, 2012 from San Francisco, CA.
Please stop by if you're in the SF embarcadero area:
I'm starting to netcast for the first time again since I conceived of and executive produced 'Fiber' back in 1995, before ISDN or T1 were available! 'Fiber' was the World's 1st online fashion show event ever, and it was broadcast over copper phone lines to the Mbone at UC Berkeley, CA, and then out to the world!
Thanks for joining me here and for helping me celebrate my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast"! Love you all xo, ani
dineLA is an exciting 2-week dining event created by the Los Angeles Convention and Visitor Bureau (aka LA, INC) to introduce diners to hundreds of neighborhood restaurants throughout Los Angeles County. LA's a huge county full of many great spots for food and drink. So, to help filter through over 300 participating restaurants, dineLA's invited me to call out a few restaurants offering vegetarian dineLA menu items. I live in West Hollywood, so most of my recommendations are for spots in my area.
For dineLA, participating restaurants offer a fixed 3-course menu for lunch and/or dinner…a great way to taste popular dishes. If a restaurant offers only 1 or 2 vegetarian items on their dineLA menu, many will let you order just those vegetarian items, so do ask. You'll also find a few vegan and almost raw items too.
With so many great dineLA restaurants, it was challenging to choose just 10! Here's a few vegetarian items to look for. If you prefer vegan, ask to leave off the dairy. It's that simple. Click each link below to view their dineLA menu:
:: Check out photos from the dineLA Kickoff Celebration at the W Hotel in Westwood last week with my Exec Chef friends.

I visited Erewhon Natural Foods in Los Angeles on May 28, 2011 along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. Erewhon is my favorite Raw Food store. These beautiful photos are courtesy of the very talented Sherman Lee at http://www.digitalslimages.com.
Juan Hernandez, the store manager, makes sure to offer the largest range of Raw Food products and brand, and has created the nexus for Raw Foods here in LA. Juan was one of my earliest supporters of my SmartMonkey Foods packaged and prepared foods products.
Each year's visit celebrating my new book always draws a packed house. I love Erewhon!
I showed everyone how easy it is to make my Mushroom "Bul Go Gi", from Ani's Raw Food Asia, page 186, using mushrooms marinated in tamari or nama shoyu (raw soy sauce), toasted sesame oil, asian pear, and sweetener of choice like agave or brown rice syrup. We topped off these beautiful Lettuce Wraps, from page 188, with my version of a traditional Korean Gochujang Sauce, page 225, made with miso, sesame oil, chile powder, and sweetener like agave.
Following my food demo and Q+A…next, I get to sign books and meet people 1 on 1!
This tour, many people had me sign multiple copies of Ani's Raw Food Asia for friends and family. I do love when people bring their entire collection for me to sign too…..a blessing for me.
My friends Ron Gilmore and Caroline Jue create an awesome animated series called Rawman & Green-Girl. They are doing great work educating and sharing information about our food sources.
Elaine R. Johnson hand delivered this beautiful porcelain sculpture she made to me all the way from Arizona with her mom. Elaine is amazingly talented. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for such a beautiful gift.
This is the beautifully talented Elaine R. Johnson. She told me how challenging porcelain is to work with….cracking as it dries, or cracking out of the kiln during baking. A labour of love, it shows!
Watch my debut on Los Angeles TV with ABC 7′s Health Coach Lori Corbin. I show her 5 raw food recipes that have gone mainstream including my Zucchini Pasta (featured in Food Network Magazine), Nut Mylks (like Almond Milk), Green Smoothies, Kale Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Essentials), and Seaweed Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Asia).
Watch the 3-minute video, and learn how raw foods helps with weight loss too!
I was honored to have been invited to speak on a panel with superstars (from left to right above) Rachelle Carson Begley (married to Ed Begley), Sophie Uliano (NYTimes best selling author), Izabella Miko (actress), Carly Harrill (blogger ghost writer), Karen Stewart Brown (fashion designer), Kris Willey (host of WotGG), and Alexandra Spunt (author).
The focus of this panel was how we came into our careers. I explained how I used to work in a corporate environment that was not recycling, was wasting energy, and was using styrofoam cups for one 4 ounce shot of water. I realized my raw food catering and the weekly events I was hosting (to feed myself good food) was a successful business. So, I decided to leave corporate America to focus 100% on my prepared packaged foods, catering, and events. I followed my bliss because I believed raw foods helped people feel better and healthier. It also helps us tread lightly on our Planet.
This event was held in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA on Saturday May 14, 2011. These beautiful photos are courtesy of photosbyKailas.com. Thanks Kailas!
The 1st stop along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia was at Santa Monica Place at Artisanal LA on April 16, 2011. Here are 4 short videos from my talk, Q+A, and book signing:
1) Ani's Raw Food Asia – I love organic, local, seasonal foods
2) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Probiotics, Happiness, Longevity
3) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Easy ways to add more raw to any diet!
4) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Recipe inspirations and sources for protein.
I had so much fun celebrating the pre-launch of Ani's Raw Food Asia at Artisanal LA in Santa Monica.
All of these beautiful photos were taken by the amazing Sherman Lee. Thanks Sherman!!
It was a weekend full of local and seasonal gourmet foods (though way too much bacon! – what's up with bacon these days?) and great expert panels and talks.
I love this fish eye photo, it was a full crowd with great people old and new to raw foods and the raw food diet and lifestyle. Thanks to the wonder woman organizer Shawna Dawson for all her support, for announcing my talk over the loud speaker, and for putting me and Ani's Raw Food Asia in their printed program.
Q+A is my favorite part of my appearances because I get to listen and interact with my new friends.
It's always so nice to have my brother Max and my family with me at my events.
This lovely lady kept asking me about how to learn to make raw food. I say if you're interested in making food, you have to learn how to make all foods first. Then you can translate it into raw food prep.
Libby drove all the way up from San Diego with her friends just to grab an early copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Please check my homepage and also my calendar of events for upcoming events and stops along my book tour. Hope to see you all very soon. xoxo
BBC Good Food interviewed me for a feature on Raw Foods in their Feb 2011 issue. Very cool, take a peek!
It was Kanga's 8th 'birthday' and also our anniversary on Labor Day. Each year, I make my darling pooch a heart shaped cake (you may have seen the photo from last year's birthday on page 301 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials). This year, the cake was made with sunflower seeds and a few Medjool dates. Kanga was so eager to eat it, she got green birthday candle wax on the tip of her nose….so cute!
In a blink of an eye, the cake was gone! And, I wonder if you can guess who's in the background with her 'magic' tatoos….hint….London and the UK.
For our birthday ladies' luncheon, I made Jicama Rice, Mexican style by processing Jicama, then adding chopped red bell peppers, onion, corn kernels, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt. Recipe below…. It was a lunch of British guests, one of whom is a celiac. That means she needs to avoid wheat gluten. I love that about the raw food diet, it's free of wheat, gluten, refined sugar, dairy, and guilt!
I had made myself a beet, parsley, lemon, and cucumber juice earlier that morning, then mixed in the beet pulp with a sunflower pate. I used this pate to stuff poblano peppers, then dehydrated them for a few hours to soften. For a sauce, I blended a simple tahini with lemon juice, salt, splash of water.
This was the dessert my lovely friend Kate Magic made us for dessert! It was made with figs, cacao, coconut, and lucuma…and it was incredible! But this was one course poor Kanga didn't get to try (dogs and cacao don't mix well…chocolate).
Jicama Mexican Rice
Place jicama in food processor, process into small bits. Be careful not to over process. Scoop into mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients, toss to mix well.
Kanga's Birthday Cake
Place sunflower seeds in food processor. Process into small pieces. Add pitted dates, and process. Sunflower will stick together and bind into a cake 'dough'. Form dough into heart, and serve.
Note: Sweets should be served in moderation to dogs, as to humans as well.
If serving to humans or to mix up variations to this recipe, try adding in sea salt, vanilla, cacao / carob, and or goji berries.
We launched FoodStuff LA with a big celebration at the Pedal Patch Community offices in downtown LA. Above is founder Jason Boarde and Rebecca McQuigg Rigal who works through GOOD with the Pepsi Refresh Project as the Arts & Culture Ambassador.
My RAWvolution event is on September 19th, where we'll be harvesting from the PPC local community and rooftop gardens, then preparing a delicious raw food meal. Hope you'll join me for this fun event.
Christian Page is a locavore, sourcing the finest organic ingredients from our local community. He made all the food happen for this event, including delicious black mission figs, which I ate by the pint! Christian's Living La Vida Local event is in October.
LA Green Girl Siel was at our event, and it was lovely to finally meet her in person…a fellow Korean American!

text: Has anyone seen documented evidence that the rifle was worn and not modified? I read that this guy had been writing books and posting directions on how to make AR's "Go Fast" If he actually had modified the rifle, then maybe there is some validity to the Judges ruling. Not taking sides here but you can't call it a peach if you don't know its a peach.

North Central Health District Environmental Health Director Carla Coley said state law allows fees for inspection services but not for permits from the health departments. She explained that other districts go through the back door to enforce fee collection and will request the county pull a restaurant's business license.
The question of the collection of fees was discussed at the previous meeting that took place Sept. 5. The reason for that conversation was a Jones County restaurant that had not paid the required inspection fees for the second year.
Board Chairman Rooster Cogburn said using a business permit as leverage was an avenue the board was approaching.
Board of Commissioners Chairman Preston Hawkins said he believes the commissioners would be OK with working with the health department.
