The State Assembly’s HigherEducation Committee hasapproved SB 440, a bill authoredby Senator Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima) that would require theCalifornia Community Collegesand the California State Universitysystems to develop a strategic planto implement the Student TransferAchievement Reform (STAR) Act.The bill now goes to the AssemblyAppropriations Committee forconsideration.

In 2010, Padilla authored SB1440 — also known as the STARAct — which required theCalifornia Community Collegesand the California State University(CSU) systems to streamline thetransfer process for communitycollege students. The bill led to thecollege systems creating two-yearassociate in arts and associate inscience degrees that would enablestudents to transfer with priorityadmission to the CSU system withjunior status.

“While a lot of progress has beenachieved by the California

Community Colleges and theCalifornia State University toimplement the STAR Act, SB 440will ensure that every communitycollege student throughout thestate can benefit from this pro-gram,” Padilla said. “Communitycollege students deserve a clearand certain pathway to fulfill theirdreams of earning a four yeardegree. I want to make sure that thejob gets finished and that everycommunity college student onevery campus has the opportunityto earn a transfer degree that guar-antees admission to CSU.”

Specifically, SB 440 wouldrequire the California CommunityColleges and the CSU systems todevelop a strategic plan for imple-mentation of the STAR Act andcreate associate degrees for trans-fer in every major by 2014-15, andin each areas of emphasis by 2016-17. Seventy-three percent ofCalifornia college students attendcommunity colleges. However,only 25 percent of those whointend to transfer to four-year uni-versities achieve their goal. A keybarrier to student transfer is theinconsistent, duplicative and ever-changing coursework requirement,according to Padilla.

The Bicameral Task Force onClimate Change issued a report onAug. 6 recommending 20 steps theU.S. Department of Energy shouldtake in carrying out PresidentBarack Obama’s Climate ActionPlan.

The recommendations rangefrom strengthening energy efficien-cy standards to accelerating thedevelopment and of low-carbonenergy technologies, expandingenergy savings at federal facilities,encouraging reforms in state build-ing codes and utility rates, maxi-mizing the contribution of powermarketing administrations, andanalyzing the climate changeimpacts of liquefied natural gas

exports.“We recommend that the

Department of Energy use its broadauthorities to address the urgentthreat of climate change,” Rep.Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) said.“The Department of Energy shouldquickly take the steps outlined inthe report, which would reduce car-bon pollution while creating jobsand saving consumers money.”The recommendations are based onsuggestions submitted to theBicameral Task Force by more than200 entities ranging from environ-mental organizations and efficiencyadvocates to electric utilities andFortune 500 companies. They alsoreflect input from former

Department of Energy officials,leading academics and expertsfrom think tanks.The Bicameral Task Force onClimate Change, founded inJanuary, focuses on drawing con-gressional and public attention toclimate change and developingeffective policy responses.Waxman co-chairs the task force,along with Sen. SheldonWhitehouse (D-R.I.), Rep. BobbyL. Rush (D-Ill.), Sen. Ben Cardin(D-Md.), Rep. Earl Blumenauer(D-Ore.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.).

Task force releases report on climate change

Sen. Ted Lieu (D-Torrance)recently urged those worried aboutmelanoma and its devastatingeffects to contact the U.S. Foodand Drug Administration (FDA) toexpress their support for warningsto children nationwide.

“For the sake of our children,Texas and other states are joiningCalifornia in taking steps to ensureall minors are better protected fromthe proven cancer-causing effectsof tanning beds,” Lieu said.

Specifically, the FDA is consid-ering reclassifying sunlamps andtanning beds to a Class II level,which institutes stricter regulationsto protect public health. Currently,indoor tanning devices are Class I,

the category for items that haveminimal potential to cause harm toindividuals, such as adhesive ban-dages and tongue depressors.

The FDA is also consideringrequiring a label on the devices,which among other things, wouldrecommend that no one under 18use the device.

A Lieu bill, known as SB 746,took effect Jan. 1, 2012, andbanned children under the age of18 from using UV-emitting tanningbeds. It won bipartisan support andother jurisdictions, in addition toTexas, have recently emulatedCalifornia’s law, includingVermont and Chicago.

In addition to a national ban on

indoor UV tanning, Lieu said thenext step would be for the FederalTrade Commission to heed his callfrom last January to order a “shell”group to halt its false statements onthe dangers of indoor tanning.

Lieu said the FTC, in May 2010,ordered the Indoor TanningAssociation (ITA) to stop makingfalse and misleading statementsabout the alleged safety of indoortanning.

Earlier this year, however, a pur-portedly “new” industry groupcalled the American SuntanningAssociation began making thesame, exact false and misleadingstatements originally barred by theFTC.

Lieu calls for more tanning bed regulation

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman(D-Calif.) and Los Angeles CountySupervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, 3rdDistrict, on Aug. 1 announced thatSecretary of Veterans Affairs (VA)Eric Shinseki has made a commit-ment to fund and support an arrayof services to help homeless veter-ans in Los Angeles starting in thenext month.

At a past meeting at Feinstein’sWashington office, Shinsekiannounced he has directed thedepartment to expand housingvouchers for homeless veterans,increase medical outreach workersand have a dedicated homelesscenter at the West Los Angeles VAfacility.

“Secretary Shinseki showed asincere desire to turn the crisis ofveteran homelessness in LosAngeles around,” Waxman said.“He has committed to ending vet-eran homelessness by 2015, and itsimply cannot be done without agood strategy for the chronicallyhomeless. He is putting real weightinto this fight.”

Los Angeles County has thelargest population of homeless vet-

erans in the nation — an estimated6,291 homeless veterans sleep onthe streets every night.

“Secretary Shinseki’s decisionto scale up services to chronicallyhomeless veterans in Los Angelesis the single most significantdevelopment in years,”Yaroslavsky said. “This unprece-dented investment will allow us tohouse and treat more than tentimes as many homeless vets in thenext two years than we did overthe last two. This is huge.”

Shinseki pledged to make more

housing available and to strength-en services for homeless veteransby expanding Project 60, whichprovides permanent supportivehousing to severely mentally illchronically homeless veterans;increasing HUD-VASH vouchers,which provide housing and thera-peutic services to homeless veter-ans; securing temporary use ofvacant beds in the State VeteransHome at the West LA VA to househomeless veterans, until full Statefunding becomes available for vet-erans who are on the waiting listfor nursing home care; developinga Comprehensive HomelessCenter at the West LA VA to serveas a “one-stop shop” for homelessveterans to obtain services;expanding Assertive CommunityTreatment (ACT) Teams, to identi-fy and engage homeless veteranson the street to bring them into per-manent supportive housing and toassist the veteran to remainhoused; and renovating Buildings205 and 208, which have been des-ignated to house homeless veteransand provide therapeutic services,through public-private partner-ships.

The Los Angeles County HealthOfficer on Aug. 1 confirmed thefirst human death of West Nile virus(WNV) infection in Los AngelesCounty. The fatality occurred in oneolder adult male, who lived in theSouth Bay area, had pre-existinghealth conditions and was hospital-ized at the time of death.

To date, 13 WNV infections havebeen documented, including 6asymptomatic blood donors.Several agencies in SouthernCalifornia, including the GreaterLos Angeles County Vector ControlDistrict and the San Gabriel ValleyMosquito and Vector ControlDistrict, have been cautioning resi-dents that this year is a particularlyactive year for mosquitoes carryingWest Nile Virus.

“While most people bitten by amosquito are not exposed to WestNile virus, some individuals maybecome infected with this diseaseand may experience symptoms thatcan last for months, or even years,such as fatigue, malaise and depres-sion,” said Dr. Jonathan Fielding,director of public health and healthofficer. “Taking a few simple pre-cautions can greatly reduce the riskof mosquito bites, the primary path-way to human infection. West Nilecan appear anywhere in Los

Angeles County, or around the state,and we are urging people to takeprecautions, such as getting rid ofpools of stagnant water around theirhomes, and using a repellant con-taining DEET when outdoors inmosquito prone areas, especiallyaround dawn or dusk.”

In 2012, 174 human cases ofWNV were reported in Los AngelesCounty, the second highest countdocumented since 2004. Of thosewho showed symptoms, 85 percentrequired hospitalization and 4 per-cent were fatal. As of July 30, WNVhas been detected in 118 mosquitopools and 141 dead birds in LosAngeles County. Seventy-five per-cent of dead birds and nearly half ofmosquitoes were found in the South

Bay, but WNV activity has beenfound in other areas across LosAngeles County.

The wide-ranging distribution ofour human cases demonstrates thatthe virus can affect any location inthe county. Persons over 50 years ofage and those with immunocompro-mising medical conditions are atincreased risk of serious WNVinfection, neuroinvasive disease anddeath.

Dead birds may be reported bycalling (877)968-2473 or visitingpublichealth.lacounty.gov/vet/disin-tro.htm. Stagnant swimming poolsor “green pools” should be reportedto the Public Health EnvironmentalHealth Bureau at (626)430-5200, orto a local vector control agency.

Police BlotterFraud suspect gets 11-yearfederal prison sentence

A fraud suspect from LosAngeles who remained a fugitivefor more than a decade was sen-tenced on Aug. 5 to 11 years infederal prison for running a near-ly 15-year “foreclosure-rescue”scam that delayed foreclosuresales for more than 800 dis-tressed homeowners.

Glen Alan Ward, 48, a formerLos Angeles resident who fled toWaterloo, Canada, was sen-tenced by United States DistrictJudge Dale S. Fischer. In addi-tion to his prison term, Ward wasordered to pay $59,961 in restitu-tion and to forfeit approximately$100,000 in cash and propertypreviously seized by lawenforcement authorities.

Ward pleaded guilty in April tothree separate sets of chargesstemming from his 15-year fraudscheme. In 2000, Ward failed toappear in United States DistrictCourt in Los Angeles after agree-ing to plead guilty to the charges,and fled to Canada.

In 2002, while he was a fugi-tive, Ward was indicted on multi-ple counts of bankruptcy fraud inSan Francisco. One year ago, inthe third case, Ward was indictedon mail fraud, aggravated identi-ty theft and additional bankrupt-cy fraud counts in Los Angeles.

While in Canada, Wardrecruited Frederic Alan Gladle,who was indicted by federalprosecutors in Los Angeles onbankruptcy fraud and identitytheft charges in 2011. Gladle wassentenced last year to 61 monthsin federal prison. On April 5,2012, Ward was arrested inCanada by the Royal CanadianMounted Police and theWaterloo Regional PoliceService. On Dec. 21, he was

extradited to the United Statesfor trial.

Authorities alleged that Wardcontinued his scheme while inCanada. To avoid being detectedwhile accessing websites heneeded for the scheme, Wardused a laptop computer in wire-less hotspots away from hishome. He also arranged forclients’ monthly payments to bedeposited in the bank account ofan individual in Texas, which hecould access with an ATM card.Upon receiving confirmationthat client funds had beendeposited, Ward would withdrawthe funds at one of manyWaterloo-area ATMs. Federalagents in the United States wereable to identify Ward’s most-fre-quented wireless locations andhis most-frequented ATMs.Agents repeatedly passed alonginformation on Ward’s current orexpected whereabouts to author-ities in Canada. The Canadianauthorities would then visit thelocations as soon as possible,usually missing Ward by onlyminutes. Finally, Canadianauthorities began monitoringmultiple ATMs after Ward hadreceived confirmation of adeposit. When Ward visited oneof the machines, Canadianauthorities arrested the defen-dant. The case was investigatedunder President Barack Obama’sFinancial Fraud EnforcementTask Force, which was created inNovember 2009. It was prose-cuted by the United StatesAttorney’s Offices in LosAngeles and San Francisco, andthe Department of Justice,Criminal Division, FraudSection. For information, visitwww.stopfraud.gov.

The Los Angeles CountyMuseum of Art (LACMA) presentsan exhibit titled “Shaping Power:Luba Masterworks from the RoyalMuseum for Central Africa” run-ning through Jan. 5 in the museum’snew African art gallery.

The exhibit explores the artistictraditions and emblems of powerfrom the Luba Kingdom, one of themost influential in Central Africanhistory. Co-organized with theRoyal Museum for Central Africa(RMCA) in Belgium, a selection ofrare and outstanding sculpturesfrom the Luba people of theDemocratic Republic of the Congowill be displayed. Museum visitorscan view figurative thrones,scepters, royal cups, intricatelycarved headrests, and ancestral fig-ures. The pieces are rarely publiclydisplayed in the United States andare on view for the first time in LosAngeles.

The exhibition is curated by Dr.Mary (Polly) Nooter Roberts, con-sulting curator for African Art atLACMA and professor of worldarts and cultures at UCLA, in col-laboration with co-curator, Dr.Anne-Marie Bouttiaux, head of theEthnography Division for RMCA.

“As a museum of all cultures andall eras, I am proud to see a perma-nent space for the display of Africanart at LACMA,” LACMA CEO and

Wallis Annenberg Director MichaelGovan said. “Since coming toLACMA last year, Polly

Roberts has done an extraordi-nary job in building a foundationfor our African art program. This isa new phase in a bold and importantinitiative for our collection.”

Shaping Power conveys thebeauty and complexity of Luba artand culture, and presents one ofAfrica’s remarkable sculptural andphilosophical traditions. Whilemany Luba works appear to haveutilitarian purposes, they are sym-bolic objects, imbued with spiritualattributes and esoteric knowledge.As treasures of kings, chiefs, title-holders and diviners, they alsoserved as emissaries to create affili-ations extending the group’s realm.Some of the objects are also used torecord the histories and precepts ofLuba kingship.

“It is an honor to assist LACMA

in the creation of a permanent andprominent presence for the arts ofAfrica at the museum,” Robertssaid. “I am delighted to openLACMA’s new African gallery withLuba arts, which have been thefocus of my scholarly research andcuratorial work for over twentyyears.”

The exhibition is organized the-matically and explores the roles ofsculpture in the rites of a ruler,emphasizing how the works help totransform an ordinary man into asacred king. The exhibition alsoexplores why Luba emblems depictwomen, and how the guardian spir-its of Luba kingship are attracted tofemale figures that embellish theinsignia of male office holders.

The Los Angeles CountyMuseum of Art is located at 5905Wilshire Blvd. For information, call(323)857-6000, or visitwww.lacma.org.
