Honoring Julia Morgan, Architect Extraordinaire: Yes, a woman did that

“When do we think the five LA County permitting and review agencies will finally approve our plans?” After 20 months, our beloved architect, Cole Butler — a woman standing on the mighty yet tiny shoulders of über architect Julia Morgan — could still only guess. “A week? Two weeks? If we’re lucky.” Cole is burdened by a complex, drawn-out building bureaucracy that Julia Morgan never had to navigate. From 1904 to her death in 1957, Miss Morgan designed more than 700 buildings, the most famous of which is Hearst Castle on California’s Highway 1 along the central coast.

Number of rabid animals in California skyrockets to the most cases in nearly 30 years

Your browser does not support the video tag. California has seen the number of rabid animals skyrocket, with the most cases in nearly 30 years, according to state officials. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday. Most of the rabid animals were bats or skunks from Southern California, according to the veterinary association. San Diego County health officials sounded the alarm in July after a rabid bat landed on the table where a family was eating lunch at the rustic Yellow Deli chain in Vista. Another diner quickly grabbed the bat with a towel and brought it to the Humane Society in Oceanside. Last month, local health officials reported the first two raccoons to test positive for rabies in Los Angeles County in more than 50 years.

Integrity’s website described the treatment facility as a “healing sanctuary” and showed photographs of a gleaming white mansion with a pool in the Los Angeles foothills. The place looked a little dingier in person, with trash in the driveway and weeds growing over a retaining wall.
