CALIFORNIA RODEO WELCOMES NEW LEADERS
Daryl Whitcher takes over as President for 2014-20154
October 30, 2013- The California Rodeo Association added a new President, Vice President and installed three new Directors to the Board during the annual Stockholders Dinner and Meeting on October 17th. Every two years a new President takes over the leadership of the organization, working closely with three Vice Presidents, a Treasurer and a Secretary as well as an Executive Committee made up of Directors and an at large Board of 52 Directors. Daryl Whitcher is now holding the reins as President after being an Officer since 2004. Dave Pedrazzi is now the 3rd Vice President, joining Mike Scarr who moved to 1st Vice President and Brent Eastman who moved to 2nd Vice President. Benny Jefferson now moves on to the role of immediate Past President.
The three new Directors include Laurie LaVelle who chairs the Miss California Rodeo Salinas Committee, Martin Jefferson who chairs the Rental Committee and Tim Baldwin who chairs the Carnival Committee. All three new Board members have extensive experience at the California Rodeo Salinas and have been long-time volunteers.
Benny Jefferson and Daryl Whitcher also presented Salinas' Mayor Joe Gunter with a symbolic check in the amount of $247,402 which represents the amount of money the California Rodeo helps to generate for local non-profit organizations. This amount is based on the Rodeo only, the total non-profit donation amount will be announced at a later date.
Daryl Whitcher, President 2013-2014
Daryl Whitcher started as a Committee Member of the California Rodeo in 1983 on the Round Up Day Committee then went on to chair the Credentials Committee for several years. Daryl became an Officer in 2004. He is a California Native who graduated from Monterey High and Monterey Peninsula Community College and went on to earn a degree from Fresno State University in Geomatics Engineering. He is the Owner and President of Monterey County Surveyors, Inc. working on many pro-bono projects in the community and beyond. Daryl enjoys golfing in his spare time and is also active in the Far West Division of the National Ski Patrol organization. He lives in Salinas with his wife Debbie and has a son, Thomas, and a daughter, Crissy.
Dave Pedrazzi, 3rd Vice President
Dave Pedrazzi is the fourth generation to grow up on the family cattle ranch in the Salinas Valley. He has been involved in the California Rodeo almost his entire life and became a Director in 1983. Dave followed in his father Pete's footsteps as the Track Director, running all the events that take place on the track surrounding the arena during the show. After attending Hartnell Junior College here in Salinas and California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Dave moved back to Salinas and began a farming and ranching career which continues to this day. In his spare time, he enjoys roping, hunting, skiing and family gatherings. Dave lives on River Road in Salinas with his wife, Debbie. Dave's daughter Nicci and her husband Danny DeRoza, daughter Nette, her husband Braden Hoover and their 2 sons, and son Peter and his wife Emily all live here in Salinas as well and help out with the family cattle business throughout the year.
Laurie LaVelle-Director
Laurie LaVelle considers herself very fortunate to have lived most of her life in the Salinas Valley surrounded by the produce and cattle industries. Her family has deep roots in the California Rodeo dating back to the 1920's. Laurie's involvement with the Rodeo began back in the 70s as a member of the Honorary Color Guard that led the daily Downtown Parade and Grand Entry of the Rodeo. She competed against 12 other deserving contestants for the title of California Rodeo Sweetheart in 1975 and began helping on the Arena Committee in the 1980s. In 1999 Laurie joined the Miss California Rodeo Committee and she began chairing that committee in 2003. Outside of her Rodeo activities, which keep her busy all year long, Laurie enjoys landscaping, sewing and riding and showing horses. Laurie and her husband Butch reside outside of King City and they have one grown daughter-Leeann Bettencourt.
Martin Jefferson-Director
Martin Jefferson can't remember exactly when he started volunteering out here because he has always tagged along to help his Dad and other relatives work to prep the ground and get the arena ready for the Rodeo and Monster Truck events. He officially became a committee member when he was 15 years old and has worked out here for over 20 years. About 11 years were spent on the Ground Prep committee and over the past 4 years, Martin has taken over as the Chairman of the Rentals Committee. He has also worked multiple years on the Monster Trucks and Central Coast Motorsports Committees. After leaving the family farm last February, Martin has been working as a Plant Nutrition Specialist for Wilbur Ellis Co. here in Salinas and Soledad. Martin enjoys restoring vintage and unique farm and military equipment and is an active volunteer with Monterey County Regional Fire District. Martin has been married to his wife Jamie for 7 years and they have a 3 year old daughter, Adalyn Clair.
Tim Baldwin-Director
Tim Baldwin has volunteered at the California Rodeo for over 10 years. He started on the Track Committee moving flying gates and later served on the Coordinating Committee. He became Committee Chair of the Credentials Committee in 2007 and is currently Committee Chair of the Carnival and Co-Chairman of the Credentials Committee with Adam Jacop. Tim is a partner in the law firm of Noland, Hamerly, Etienne and Hoss with his practice focusing on business and real estate transactions, specializing in agricultural enterprises. Tim has helped the Rodeo on a pro-bono basis with various legal matters. In addition to volunteering for the Rodeo, Tim is a member of the downtown Salinas Rotary and Rotarian of the Year for 2013 as well as Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Salinas Valley Fair in King City. Tim is a self-described recreational team roper with an emphasis on recreational; he is a past winner of the committee roping here at the Rodeo and attends the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital trail ride each year. Tim lives on River Road with his son Trent, a junior at Palma, and his daughter Tayler, who is in the fifth grade at Spreckels Elementary School.

Well apparently we have some work to do if we want to catch up to the USSR in terms of human rights. Good work pointing that out, Glenn. There's hope for you yet.
Hooper_X - 2010-03-06
Fuck him and everyone who looks remotely like him.
I'm officially done thinking of clever fucking shit to say about this guy. He is a waste of genetic material, and the best thing he could ever do for humanity is to shoot himself into the fucking sun.
oddeye - 2010-03-06
Seriously, fuck Glenn Beck.
Correction: The best thing he could ever do for humanity is to build a giant ark, gather all his followers together, and shoot them ALL into the fucking sun.
But that would be a collective effort, and everyone knows that shit is for commies. So encouraging them all to INDIVIDUALLY shoot themselves into the sun.
The notion that my rights come from god is deeply offensive to me. I can't quite put my finger on why, it just wont sit right.
Not from any god, but from Glenn Beck's god. Who is totally one of those vengeful fuckers who will give you hives and put a shitton of toads in your basement if you piss him off.
Wait, no. I figured out why it's ridiculous - because how, then, am I supposed to know what my rights are, exactly? Ask a priest? At least if the gummit is telling me what rights I have, I KNOW WHAT RIGHTS I HAVE.
If all I have are the rights that are given to me by god, then I can pretty much claim anything I fucking want, and who are you to deny me? GOD GAVE ME THE RIGHT TO HAVE A BILLION GUNS AND MURDER QUEERS AND WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE AWAY THOSE RIGHTS?!?!?!?!?!? (note: he did not give me the right to educate myself. otherwise, i'd probably question the entire setup.)
Camonk - 2010-03-06
It won't sit right because it's a deeply vacuous claim, which is the whole point. The god stuff, the stuff with the chair is just a smoke screen for him saying, "Our government didn't give you the right to education. But the Soviets did AND THEY WERE EVIL RIGHT GUYS"
cognitivedissonance - 2010-03-06
God also gave me the right to own slaves.
The Great Hippo - 2010-03-06
If Glenn Beck believes that rights come from God, and Glenn Beck believes that terrorists do not have certain rights from God that the rest of us have, then Glenn Beck believes that he knows who God gives rights and who God doesn't.
Rights are rights; either everyone has them or everyone doesn't. We violate (not *remove*) your rights only as a function of protecting the rights of others. We kill so others won't be killed. There is nothing you can do to lose the right *not* to be killed, or *not* imprisoned--we violate it only as a means to prevent a *greater* number of violations. In discussions about human rights, this simple fact is often forgotten.
Whether or not our rights come from God is irrelevant. God isn't here telling us what our rights are. Our rights are our own to determine, as a collective whole. We can do that based on what guidelines we may think God has set forth for us, but to think that God laid out our rights in clear terms--and that any man has a monopoly on the interpretation of those terms--is stupid.
TLDR: Glenn Beck is that angry loudmouth crackpot uncle at your family reunion.

BorrowedSolution - 2010-03-06
I think the whole concept of rights smacks of some sort of outside influence, be it a god or a government. We seem to forget that there must be some sort of mechanism that keeps humanity from spinning off into anarchy, or we wouldn't be here after thousands of generations before we even had the ability to write down such a thing as a law or a right. There's some very basic laws that I think are self-evident, and they all have fairly good regulatory systems, on a small scale.
There is always going to be a force of able-bodied peace-keepers in a given population. If the population is small enough (either by sheer lack of numbers or tight social groupings) a murderer, a thief, a cheating partner can't hide what they've done for long. Everybody finds out, and everybody deals with it, sometimes through the peace-keepers (ie. somebody loses their shit and starts going cut-crazy with a machete).
Why would they do the peace-keeping? Because they know everybody, and everybody knows them. Inaction in the face of a direct violation of the peace of the grouping would be construed as a crime unto itself. Humans know enough right to survive in the absence of a codified set of instructions.
And Glenn Beck's really just making the same mistake most of us do in assuming that without some sort of super or suprahuman entity is all that's keeping us going.
*assuming that some sort of...
Kinda got turned around at the end, there.
phalsebob - 2010-03-06
I have no clue what he is talking about with governments being footstools and thing- stockades?
But he's right that if a government gives you a right it may be taken away. Whereas God given rights can't be taken away. Thou shalt not kill. Have YOU ever been killed? No? Case closed.

facek - 2010-03-06
I like to point it out every time there's a Glenn Beck video that he is a Mormon and Mormons are fucking crazy, so...
This man believes his Space God comes from a Pantheon of Space Gods and bestowed rights onto his creations, and if you believe enough you just might get to be a Space God too and give rights to your creations too.
(But remember since God never changes his mind there are no Rights protecting you from Rape, Genocide, Slavery, etc. Those are provided by the ugly footstool.)
nemeses9 - 2010-03-06
Are there people who seriously take this guy seriously?
I thought O'Reilly was bad but Jesus, this assmunch makes him sound perfectly reasonable.
Maybe I was too young during Clinton to notice all of the far-right bellyaching. But I feel like the limit of acceptable craziness has moved really far in the last 5 years or so. Coulter used to be controversial, but in retrospect her main thing is silly name-calling. Malkin, otoh, is downright violent. If Billo ever shocked people, those days are over. But Beck consistently calls for the destruction of most US institutions (and with the flag waving behind him). And it seems like Rush used to be seen as more of a fringe guy than he is now.
The tea partiers claim to want is a government resembling the one we had close to 100 years ago. That in and of itself is not weird, but the fact that a large amount of Republican congressman are involved with it is.

Doesn't the California constitution predate the USSR constitution?
Goethe and ernie - 2010-03-07
What the fuck is he on about? So the right to education is bad because it was in the Russian constitution? Or is the right to education something so good and so natural that it shouldn't be included in constitutional documents? And what's the chair got to do with anything? Is education a god-given freedom that all Americans should have access to, or is it dirty commie propaganda? His rhetorical style leaves me confused.
He's saying (albeit in a very roundabout way) that we should call Russian dressing "freedom condiment."
Jeff Fries - 2010-03-07
Our rights do come from God, read the Declaration
"Nature's God." Not "Glenn Beck's God" (who happens to be a polygamy-practicing deity called Elohim).
IrishWhiskey - 2010-12-18
Those rights specifically are "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". You can try walking into the court and demanding those rights be enforced based on the authority of God, but I don't think you're going to have much luck. There's a reason that the actual document we base our rights doesn't include that phrase.
TeenerTot - 2010-03-08
Our rights come from "we the people". Read the Constitution.

That requires knowing how to read, which requires getting an education, and his education makes him a SLAVE to the government so obviously he doesn't want to use that.


Our sincere apologies for the delay in opening the 2015 grant cycle – we just had some housecleaning to do. But we're ready now! Thanks once again to the generous support of the Foundation to Promote Open Society, we will be offering one $20,000 grant in 2015, and naming four finalists.
The application deadline is Monday, December 3, 2014. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FILING: Sadly, we have to revert to Dropbox for uploading applications. Filing via our website proved to be trickier than expected last year. Please be sure to read the application guidelines on the following page, which includes specific directions about filing on Dropbox. Applications that do not follow these directions will be not be considered in the judging.
We will announce the grant winner before Christmas. As always, applicants will be the first to know before we issue a general press release.
So – we look forward to seeing your proposals this year, to the ways that you can help us all better understand our humanity. We need it.
If you have problems submitting your application, you can email me at sara@theaftermathproject.org.
PS Please keep an eye out for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for "War is Only Half the Story, Vol 7," featuring the work of 2013 grant winner Stanley Greene (who covered the aftermath of the war in Chechnya), as well as finalists Isabel Kiesewetter, Boryana Katsorova, Gwenn Dubourthoumieu and Martino Lombezzi.
The Aftermath Project's mission is to support photographic projects that tell the other half of the story of conflict — the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace. Grant proposals should reflect an understanding of this mission. Proposals may relate to the aftermath of numerous kinds of conflict, not just international wars. The conflict may have been at the community level — for example, violence between rural ethnic groups or an urban riot in an industrialized country. It may have been a regional one, such as a rebel insurgency, or it may have been a full-scale war. There is no specific time frame that defines "aftermath," although in general The Aftermath Project seeks to support stories which are no longer being covered by the mainstream media, or which have been ignored by the media. In general, conflict should be over for a situation to be deemed an "aftermath." There are specific cases, however, where conflict may have continued for so long, or be the result of an aftermath situation, that they will be considered to be within the scope of The Aftermath Project.

Welcome to Elementary Art K-6!
In the art room we are exploring different artists, materials and art processes to help us understand the elements of art!
I compare the elements of art (line, shape, color, texture, space, form and value) to ingredients used when baking. You need ingredients to make things, but you don't always have to use every ingredient you have. Sometimes you use more of one ingredient than another. Sometimes one is much stronger or more important than another. This helps us to add elements to build up our artworks. Sometimes we need to add more colors, or more lines until it looks "just right"!

Paris Saint-Germain will target Juventus forward if they fail in pursuit of Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi's future has been the constant speculation over the past few months and it is still uncertain whether he would extend his Barcelona contract beyond next summer.
Should the six-time Ballon d'Or winner consider a fresh challenge, Paris Saint-Germain will no doubt make an approach to lure him to Parc des Princes where he could be reunited with Neymar.
Neymar has publicly stated his desire to play with his ex-Barcelona teammate and there is no question that the Brazilian will make his own effort to convince the 33-year-old to join Les Parisiens.
However, much like the previous transfer window, Manchester City could offer stiff competition for Messi's signature while the Argentine could make a stunning U-turn and sign a fresh long-term deal with the Catalan giants.
Considering this, it appears that Les Parisiens have a contingency plan in place and Mundo Deportivo claims that they are keeping a close eye on the proceedings of Messi's compatriot Paulo Dybala.
Dybala, who was the Serie A's MVP of the season last term, has struggled for regular playing time under manager Andrea Pirlo at Juventus and that has had a direct impact on his performances.
The former Palermo man has averaged just 57 minutes per game during his 10 appearances and he has struggled to make an impact upfront with just one goal and no assists.
In the same time, summer signing Alvaro Morata has made an instant impact with nine goals and he is now regarded as the undisputed partner for Cristiano Ronaldo upfront, who is the top scorer with 10 goals this season.
Hence, Dybala has been touted to head for the exit door next summer and it is not the first time he has been linked with Les Parisiens. Earlier last month, Calciomercato reported there could be a swap between Dybala and Mauro Icardi.
Talent-wise, Messi and Dybala can't be compared, but the latter would still be a quality signing for Les Parisiens, suppose they fail in their pursuit of the six-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Dybala registered a tally of 17 goals and 14 assists across all competitions last season and he was among an elite group of players in Europe's top-five leagues, who were able to hit double figures in both.
The 27-year-old has largely played as the centre-forward during his career and he is also capable of featuring in the second striker role and could prove the perfect foil for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the attack.
The Argentine is good with his hold-up play with a superb passing range and could make Les Parisiens a better attacking unit with his ability to create regular chances for his teammates aside from finding the back of the net.

Nashville Trax: From Dream to Reality
Posted on June 25, 2018 June 25, 2018 by ihateemanbates
Joe Markusic,
Beats and Brews Guest Writer
Bill Watson, like most of us has dreams and aspirations to do something special with his life, to leave a legacy he could be proud of. Many of us never pull the trigger and follow through with chasing our dreams. Most of us get stuck in living in the daily routine and before we know it, our life has passed us by. Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Bill, whom after years of struggling with the decision, in 2004 decided to move to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his dream of succeeding in the music and entertainment industry. Bill Watson grew up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania with the goal of being a working musician. After years of pondering over the risk, he made the decision to invest in himself and follow his dreams. Unlike where he grew up, one out of three people work in the industry in Nashville. Many have tried, but failed to make it. Bill is determined to not become a statistic of failure, but rather one of success. Below is my interview with producer and musician, Bill Watson.
How did you get started in the music and entertainment industry?
I heard a song by John Denver on the radio, "Back Home Again", thought it was cool and decided to learn to play it on my Dad's guitar. That led to entering a church talent show and it took off from there.
Why Nashville?
I needed good session quality musicians for my business to work. There are good musicians and singers worldwide but usually in very isolated pockets, there is no place on earth that has such a high concentration of talent in such a small area as Nashville. Definitely the largest concentration of session quality players on the planet.
Tell me about Nashville Trax. When did you open?
I started doing demos for clients with my ex-wife Rhonda who sang and played keyboards when I lived in Pennsylvania. It was very much part time but made money and I enjoyed it.
I thought maybe if I made the move it might be even more successful but my wife hated the idea of moving . After Rho and I divorced in 2002 she encouraged me saying that I was now free to chase my dream and if I was ever going to do it, that was the time to execute. So I sold two houses I owned and started looking for property in the Music City area. I opened Nashville Trax and created NashvilleTrax.com in 2004.
How many projects have you worked on and who are some of the biggest acts you've worked with?
Slightly 0ver 3,000 projects. The Swansons whose recent single "Valentine" went #1 regionally. Danny Thompson a country act from Canada who first broke on the BBC Radio Network in the U.K. and that was the catalyst for huge word wide radio airplay. In Christian Music, The Greatest Gift, a three piece singing trio that hit #1 on the Southern Gospel charts. As far as musicians: world renowned guitarist Brent Mason. Fiddlist Jenee Fleenor of Blake Shelton's band and regular on The Voice; and drummers Jim Riley of Rascal Flatts as well as David Northrup of Boz Scaggs band are all on my team.
What are some of the biggest transformations you've seen in the music industry?
Home recording gear increasing in quality. And digital replacing analog, especially in the editing area. .
What would be the major reasons to go into a professional studio over a home-recording set-up?
In terms of the actual recording medium, none, digital is digital. But a designed-for-a-specific-purpose room and super expensive outboard gear such as $1,000 and up microphones, $3,000 preamps, etc, may be beyond the budget of a home recording enthusiast. But the biggest reason is to get a professional engineer and/or producer involved who has experience as well as access to tools and talent the amateur lacks. I produce meaning I take the rough a client gives me and make every decision that moves the project from the client's initial rendering to a professional recording.
Does the room make a difference?
Absolutely. A room can have too much natural reverb or it may sound boxy, etc. and those are things not easy or maybe impossible to fix in the mix. Home recording folks try to build vocal booths and such but lacking budget, experience and know how usually end up with flutter echo and other issues that make their work sound worse instead of better. Our drum room and iso booths at Nashville Trax are designed for specific purposes, The walls are not parallel, there are angles and bows designed into the walls to reflect sound in a certain direction, we have bass large, expensive bass traps correctly positioned to tighten up the low end, etc.
What could a great-sounding recording do for an artist's career?
It is the bargaining chip that gets you to the table. If you don't have that you don't really have a legit shot. If you have a great sounding recording and do everything else right in terms of marketing and promotion then a great sounding recording will launch your career.
Do artists benefit from networking?
Generally, yes. One contact leads to another and often leads to your next producer, radio promo guy, or an A&R person deciding to give your music a listen.
The cream rises. If you believe your act and your music product are the cream let people know about it. Especially in a town like Nashville where a huge percentage of people make their living from music. You just never know who you're talking to. The person that waits on your table at a restaurant may well have a close relative in the business or may even work full time at a music publishing company daytime, waiting tables at night. Give them a business card and friend them on Facebook or somewhere they might hear your music and become a fan, who knows what it may lead to.
How many of the artists you work with are able to match live what they've done in the studio? Is this the norm?
These days most can get very close because of "flying in tracks" which means that the drummer plays to a click track and music tracks imported from the recording session are "flown in" as .wav or .mp3 files and mixed with the live-played instruments. A band like The Swansons gives me a specific list of the tracks they need to make that happen: "We are playing an awards show next weekend, please export and load all fiddle, background vocal, steel guitar and percussion tracks on songs X, X and X for a live performance." Nearly everyone is doing it.
In your opinion, what classifies as a good mix and a good master?
A good mix has a depth and a balance between the instruments and vocals that translates well across all mediums: on computer speakers to big studio monitors and most important, on radio. If a mix is really good the mastering is nearly transparent in terms of how the mix sounds and mainly adds some compression and imparts maximum loudness. If the mix is lacking them mastering also becomes about making the recording sound better in a specific bandwidth, more clarity in the upper midrange for example,
How has this changed with the introduction of digital music and MP3's?
It's kind of crazy, Joe, the more technology has advanced the more people are listening to music in the mp3 format, delivered on cell phones and tiny, cheap computer speakers. So we record on expensive digital software like Pro Tools HD then mix on super expensive studio monitors but the end product is played back over the cheapest system available. Knowing this, there is a trend to tailor extra specific mixes specifically for that medium.

Achievements are awesome. Last night I beat Mass Effect 2 and today I'm starting over not only for a new story experience but also for the achievements I missed. I looked through the achievements and I'm only missing 5 of them. It makes me want to get them all.
I love achievements. For me, anything that makes a game's appeal last longer is a good thing. Something that makes you play a game in a new way helps extend the life of the game. Achievements can also push you out of the boundaries in which you were playing the game, or teach you new techniques that you would otherwise miss.
Achievements are here to stay and I like it that way.


Do you know there is a device called underground search metal detector? At the beginning, the professional archeologists and treasure hunters used it on land and under water. With the development and breakthrough of technology, it is used by many public areas. Such as mine clearance in military; investigation and evidence collection; archeology and treasure search; item search or iron detecting, etc.
With the one-key function, the detector can keep equilibrium automatic and eliminate the responds of mineralization. Also it can eliminate the effects from environment and adjust sensitivity. Furthermore, it has memorizing function with one-key. The LCD screen will directly display the nature of detected metal (non-ferrous metal or black metal). It is easy to operate and differentiate the nature of metals. Most important is attached eagle eye which shows the right position for you.
The maximum detecting depth reaches to 3 meters. With AA battery and 4KG weight, it's easy to handle by you. If you are looking for a high quality item then you are looking in the right place. With this model you get these features and so much more.Go ahead! Pick it up to your cart.
Automatic equilibrium by one-key function can eliminate the Response of Mineralization quickly.
Sensitivity adjustment by one-key function can quickly eliminate the effects from environment.
Simple and easy detecting mode helps to differentiate the nature of metals in time.
Mainly used by mine clearance arm forces in military to clear away the mines in the battlefield that buried by the enemy.
Mainly used by police, procurator or other evidence collectors to search the gun,cutting tool, metal blunt instrument or other tools for committing a crime that abandoned by the suspect of crime.
Mainly used by the archeologist or expeditor in wild mountains, plains or deep-sea areas for archeology or expedition.
Mainly used for detection in wild fields, underground pipes in urban areas; or by iron collector to collect the great deal of abandoned metals that buried after the movement of industrial park or reforming of old urban district.
Just as I saw on the website. I am satisfied with the design.
The delivery is even faster than i have imagined. I really appreciate it.
excellent with both good quality and sound price.

Plasma homocysteine predicts progression of atherosclerosis
M. Leila Rasouli, Khurram Nasir, Roger S Blumenthal, Robert Park, Douglas C. Aziz, Matthew J. Budoff
Mini abstract: Three emerging risk factors potentially useful in predicting future cardiac events are electron-beam computed tomography (EBT), homocysteine(HCY), and C-reactive Protein (CRP). We evaluated a cohort of 133 serial asymptomatic patients, who underwent two consecutive EBT scans (8-84 months apart) and a comprehensive cardiac risk factor assessment, including measurements for lipids, ultrasensitive CRP and homocysteine. Individuals with elevated HCY (≥12 μmol/L) demonstrated a mean increase in CC progression of 35% per year, while those with HCY 12 μmol/L) strongly and independently predicts progression of coronary plaque burden. Background: Despite the availability of effective preventive therapies, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Use of traditional cardiovascular risk factors is imprecise and predicts less than one half of future cardiovascular events. Three 'emerging risk factors', as potential means of identifying subclinical atherosclerosis and predicting future cardiovascular events, are electron-beam computed tomography, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein. Given the evidence that HCY and CRP are involved in atherogenesis, we hypothesized that significant progression of EBT calcium score (a measure of atherosclerotic plaque burden) is associated with higher levels of these markers. Methods: We evaluated 133 asymptomatic patients (100 men, 33 women; mean age was 61 ± 9 years) who underwent previous EBT calcium score testing at Harbor-UCLA 8-80 months prior to enrollment (mean follow-up 20 months). Exclusion criteria included those with known or symptomatic CAD and chronic renal disease. During enrollment, we measured risk factors, serum HCY, serum lipids, ultrasensitive-CRP, and repeat EBT calcium scan. Statistical analysis was performed using probable Chi square method, and Student's t-test. Results: Individuals with elevated HCY (≥12 μmol/L) demonstrated a mean increase in CC progression of 35% per year, while those with HCY 12 μmol/L) strongly and independently predicts progression of coronary plaque burden.

N2 - Mini abstract: Three emerging risk factors potentially useful in predicting future cardiac events are electron-beam computed tomography (EBT), homocysteine(HCY), and C-reactive Protein (CRP). We evaluated a cohort of 133 serial asymptomatic patients, who underwent two consecutive EBT scans (8-84 months apart) and a comprehensive cardiac risk factor assessment, including measurements for lipids, ultrasensitive CRP and homocysteine. Individuals with elevated HCY (≥12 μmol/L) demonstrated a mean increase in CC progression of 35% per year, while those with HCY 12 μmol/L) strongly and independently predicts progression of coronary plaque burden. Background: Despite the availability of effective preventive therapies, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Use of traditional cardiovascular risk factors is imprecise and predicts less than one half of future cardiovascular events. Three 'emerging risk factors', as potential means of identifying subclinical atherosclerosis and predicting future cardiovascular events, are electron-beam computed tomography, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein. Given the evidence that HCY and CRP are involved in atherogenesis, we hypothesized that significant progression of EBT calcium score (a measure of atherosclerotic plaque burden) is associated with higher levels of these markers. Methods: We evaluated 133 asymptomatic patients (100 men, 33 women; mean age was 61 ± 9 years) who underwent previous EBT calcium score testing at Harbor-UCLA 8-80 months prior to enrollment (mean follow-up 20 months). Exclusion criteria included those with known or symptomatic CAD and chronic renal disease.

Bravo Zulu: Getting to a Job 'Well Done' in Dementia Care and Support
Feb 5, 2020 | General News
While care partner training in the context of dementia is becoming increasingly sensitive to the needs of different cultures or groups, it is still rare to find culturally-sensitive supports for former military personnel.
So when the Nevada Department of Veterans Services reached out to Dementia Friendly Nevada co-facilitator Dr. Jennifer Carson to create a training for its Veterans-in-Care initiative, she was all in — and all ears.
About half of America's 20 million veterans are over 65 and, increasingly, support for these elder veterans—often living with disabilities—is provided by civilian healthcare providers who have little if any military cultural competence.
In order to build a training programs centered on veterans, it was first necessary to learn how caring for veterans — including veterans with dementia — is different than caring for civilian elders. For Carson, it turned out to be far more educational, and subtle, than she ever imagined.
Veterans were clearly a population with specific needs, and military service was central to their identities as elders. To do their jobs well, care partners of veterans would need to learn about their military past, and thus would need to ask questions.
What was their military experience? Which branch did they serve in? When and where did they serve? What their MOS (military occupational specialty)? How did military service affect their lives? Have they experienced post-traumatic stress?
"It's not just enough to know this elder was a veteran," says Carson. "We have to go deeper."
Veterans are steeped in a culture that rewards overcoming physical and emotional pain are often less likely to cry, report discomfort, or ask for help. With that in mind, Carson worked with the Nevada Department of Veterans Services
office along with the Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City, NV, to create a training that would eventually support Nevada's more than 200,000 veterans.
The person- and relationship-centered training was given the moniker Bravo Zulu, originally a naval signal for "job well done!" Since its inception, the "Bravo Zulu" signal has been delivered via flag hoist or radio by senior United States Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard troops to acknowledge outstanding performance.
The Bravo Zulu training itself furnishes learners with a deep understanding of veteran experiences and communication, including a segment on "Military Culture 101." Care partners learn that when someone is frightened, it's instinctive to offer human touch or a hug, however since veterans may misinterpret physical contact as threat—which can trigger trauma—uttering military phrases can be just as useful, such as "You're safe," "I'm not leaving you," "It's all clear," or "Stand down."
Central to the Bravo Zulu curriculum is the concept that in order to be a good care partner, it is essential to treat elders like VIPS: Value their personhood, relationships and culture; treat them as unique Individuals; look at the world from the Perspective of the person; and provide a positive and supportive Social environment.
So far, Carson has offered the free 12-hour relationship-based training six times. Recently, with support from a Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) grant via the Sanford Center on Aging at the University of Nevada, Reno, Carson is now working with Dementia Friendly Nevada's six community action groups to provide the training across the state.
"Through the GWEP, we can now offer Bravo Zulu four times a year for five years. We plan to alternate urban and rural offerings, providing community members, many of whom are family care partners, with free, comprehensive dementia education close to home," reports Carson.
In 2019, she trained members of Dementia Friendly Pahrump along with Age- and Dementia-Friendly Winnemucca. In 2020, she will provide the training in partnership with Dementia Friendly Elko, Dementia Friendly Washoe County, Dementia Friendly Southern Nevada Urban, and a second offering with Winnemucca.
Originally developed with Nevada veterans in mind, Bravo Zulu can also be customized for care partners of all elders, replacing veteran culture with other cultural considerations.
Carson is especially thankful for the opportunity to learn about an underserved population.
"I've learned so much through developing and teaching this course," she says. "For 30 years I've been providing care and support to veterans without really understanding military culture. But now that I know better, I will do better."

Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas Furthers "Right to Housing" Initiative through Support for Federal Rental Assistance

LOS ANGELES - On the heels of a successful vote by the City Council to develop a Right to Housing framework, Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas is pushing, in partnership with Councilmembers Raman, Cedillo and Koretz, to operationalize efforts to expand equitable access to long-term affordable housing across the City of Los Angeles with a newly adopted motion to prioritize legislative advocacy to secure additional federal rental assistance resources and housing vouchers.
"As we work to abate the dual crises of homelessness and affordable housing across LA City, we must aggressively seek a new paradigm of federal support to effectively scale up our response," said Councilmember Ridley-Thomas. "We are far from receiving a sufficient or equitable allocation of rental assistance to meet the need – and this motion is the first step in the right direction to combat housing insecurity at multiple levels."
Research shows that there are approximately 41,000 people experiencing homelessness in the City of Los Angeles. A multi-city study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that with the support of rental assistance, the number of families living in shelters or on the street declined by three-fourths. However, rental housing subsidies allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development only provides sufficient vouchers and assistance to 1 out of 4 households nationally, but in Los Angeles, the proportion of eligible households drops to 1 out of 10. Of note, President Biden's recommended budget proposes to increase the allocation of these critical resources.
"It is a well-known fact that homelessness is a pervasive issue in the city of Los Angeles," said HACLA CEO Doug Guthrie. "Even with vital programs like Project Homekey, of which we are very proud to be a part in partnership with the City, there are still not ample enough resources available for the Angelenos who need it most. This imperative motion calls for an increase in rental assistance resources, including more project based vouchers, to meet the needs of our unhoused neighbors and to see our combined efforts realized more effectively."
Although there have been significant resources dedicated toward the development of affordable and supportive housing, there is still much work to do. Last year, Governor Gavin Newson initiated the Homekey Program that converted hotels and motels into interim and supportive housing, through which LA City acquired 20 properties. However, once these properties are purchased, there is still a need to pay for the operations and services, which can be funded through federal rental assistance payments.
"We've known for a long time that expanding access to housing vouchers cuts poverty and reduces racial disparities. This is especially true in Los Angeles, where housing costs are among the highest in the nation and just 10% of eligible households actually get their hands on a voucher. I am so glad to see the Los Angeles City Council taking steps toward ensuring guaranteed access to housing vouchers for all eligible families," said Dr. Va Lecia Adams Kellum, President & CEO at St. Joseph Center.
"The onus must be on government to establish a Right to Housing that scales up preemptive measures to prevent our most vulnerable residents from falling into homelessness and helping those that do. There is simply no way around a public subsidy to ensure the lowest income earners in our communities can afford to live under a roof – and we get that done through the expansion of rental assistance programs," said Councilmember Ridley-Thomas.

Cigna Shift Technology
Shift Technology partners with Cigna
Shift Technology, a provider of AI-native fraud detection and claims automation solutions, is partnering with Cigna to strengthen its fraud detection capabilities within the claims process. As part of the partnership, Cigna will evaluate Shift's fraud detection solution 'Force' to support its International Operations Unit, which designs, implements and manages international group health insurance and employee benefits programs for globally mobile employees.
Shift's Force can tighten the level of security by identifying potential fraud perpetrated by individuals. The product enhances security by making correlations within the insurer's full data set, allowing the technology to build and connect the "social networks" of related entities to detect and extract only the most highly suspicious "sub-networks" within the larger networks.
"Applying Force's AI-native technology to the health insurance claims process significantly increases the discovery of fraud, waste and abuse cases before the claim is paid. This is incredibly important – it gives Cigna the power to fight fraud proactively rather than 'after the fact' when payments for illegitimate claims may have already been made." – Jeremy Jawish, CEO and cofounder, Shift Technology.
"Fraud is not a 'victimless' crime, and it's not only insurers that could be hurt by it. Everyone, especially policyholders, lose when fraud goes undetected and non-meritorious claims are paid. We've long taken a holistic approach to fighting fraud and continuously look for innovative ways to improve our capabilities in fraud detection. Identifying suspicious claims earlier and better understanding why they were flagged, means we can act even quicker to investigate and reach the best possible resolution for our customers and clients." – David Curlett, Head of Fraud Waste and Abuse at Cigna.
Chubb to acquire Cigna's Asian and Turkey businesses
The operations to be acquired include Cigna's A&H and life business in Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Hong Kong and Indonesia and its interest in a joint venture in Turkey.
The round was led by Advent International, through Advent Tech, with participation from Avenir and others.
