CSAC Recruiting for Communications Coordinator

FYI for you and your friends:  CSAC is looking for a communications coordinator. -- Judy

 

I wanted to alert you to the fact that CSAC has opened a recruitment for a Communications Coordinator in our Public Affairs & Member Services Unit.

 

Sarah Jimenez, who has been serving in this capacity, is taking a challenging, newly created position with one of our affiliate associations. Sarah has done an incredible job since she has been with us and while we are happy for her, we are sorry to see her leave. We are relieved, though, that she will remain part of the county family.

 

If you know of anyone that might be interested in the Communications Coordinator, here’s a link to a general job description.

Thanks, David

Fire in the Hands of Boys

Two juveniles have been arrested in two separate arson investigations in the southland; a 16-year-old boy is charged with setting the Yucaipa fire in the Inland Empire and is suspected by law enforcement to be involved in more than a dozen fires in the last three years.  The second juvenile, 13 years of age, is under arrest in the Morris fire, which burned across the San Gabriel Mountains in late August. According to the Department of Justice, in 2005, of nearly 1500 arson arrests in California, 52% involved juveniles.  What's behind this criminal behavior of the young, and how can it be prevented? 

 

Guests:

Steven Cuevas, KPCC reporter in the Inland Empire

 

TBD: Arson specialist

Recovery dot what?

After Congress approved the stimulus package, they set up www.recovery.gov to track stimulus funds across the country and promote transparency in government spending, but then came www.recovery.COM, which does a better job tracking the government’s spending than the government does. Why is the government dropping the ball and will the new Web site they launch today fix the problem?

Mike Pickett, CEO of Onvia, which runs recovery.com

Will this woman be the new consumer finance watchdog?

It’s tough to find a lobbyist who is universally respected in Washington D.C., but consumer advocate Joan Claybrook seemed to achieve that status when she stepped down from the public interested organization Public Citizen last year.  As a long time defender of consumer rights, dating back to her days at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Claybrook is now one of the leading candidates to head up the new Consumer Financial Protection Agency.  How does she plan to defend the financial producer consumer?

 

Guests:

Joan Claybrook, former president of consumer advocacy group Public Citizen; candidate for the director of the soon-to-be-created Consumer Financial Protection Agency

What does the Inspector General SEC?

AIG sold billions of dollars in insurance for mortgage-backed securities; Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns traded in highly questionable, risky commodities, ultimately leading to their collapses; and of course, Bernie Madoff swindled billions in fraudulent trades.  What do these trademarks of the current global recession have in common:  A fundamental lack in oversight, which is where the Securities and Exchange Commission comes in.  Patt talks to the Inspector General of the SEC to see how things will change in the new economy.

Whip It!  Yeah!

It may not be "America’s game", but roller derby is as American as any home run or touchdown pass. In Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, "Whip It!," and with an all-star cast, she highlights the sport that has been around longer than you would think (over 100 years), and has suffered through as many bumps and bruises as the female athletes who wear those skates so well.  Today we talk to Alex Cohen, who not only is a modern day Roller Derby Queen, but was the derby consultant and skate trainer for the film.

 

PATT:  The film opens nationwide on October 2nd.

 

Alex Cohen, is the derby consultant and skate trainer for the film, and plays her real alter-ego "Axles of Evil."  And in another life, Alex is our own news host for All Things Considered.
