Hi Chris – With regard to my own forecasting efforts I believe that I know what needs to be done and how to accomplish it (see my program update note). So it has become a matter of rolling up the old sleeves and getting to work.

One of the things that I have been doing is to study data for some 400 earthquakes which were shown on figure 4a in the Axial volcano area earthquake related paper published in the June, 2002 issue of Geology magazine. Occurrence times for those earthquakes were entered into my own data generation programs (that took a while). And I am comparing the data my programs generated with the ocean tide data in the paper. At the moment it looks to me like the earthquakes which I have studied so far do support my earthquake triggering theories.

That earthquake forecasting theory advance which I discussed in an earlier report posted here now looks pretty solid. I still do not understand what is taking place. But the phenomena itself looks real.
