Hi. Today we are coming to you from the University of Southern California, Beta

Alpha Psi Iota Chapter. We are a business honorary organization that not only

promotes professional development but also helps foster student success

through three main aspects: personal development, giving back to the community,

and building lasting friendships. In terms of professionalism, I was able to

expand my network and truly learn how to network with different professionals and

also sharpen my resume building skills. In terms of personal development, I was

able to build lasting friendships and relationships with individuals who were

experiencing the same obstacles and hardships that I was experiencing.

At USC Beta Alpha Psi, we represent the best and brightest of the USC Marshall School

of Business and Leventhal School of Accounting. We pride ourselves on a

diverse group of individuals we attract who originate from places such as China,

Taiwan, Korea, Canada, New York, Illinois, Hawaii, Colorado, the Bay Area, and of

course Southern California. Our diverse community creates an inclusive and

dynamic environment that is conducive for our members to grow as individuals

while constantly striving for excellence. Let's turn our attention to our current

Vice President of Fraternal Affairs to talk about the mentorship program and our

main networking events.

My main job is to oversee the mentorship program. We

connected 26 mentors last semester with 24 mentees, each of them various events and

opportunities to network and connect with each other which is extremely

beneficial in the recruitment process. Here at Beta Alpha Psi we have professionals

come from the Big Four as well as other big companies such as Boeing and Disney,

and we have an opportunity to network with them for about thirty minutes to an hour,

and it's a great opportunity because we get to use skills that we learn at

business classes. In addition to the many opportunities we have for personal

development, our members who have internship or full time offers also host

resume and mock interviews for recruiting members throughout the

semester to help prepare for recruitment and improve networking skills. At Beta Alpha Psi as an

organization, we highly value giving back to Los Angeles community. So some events that we did

last semester included that LA Works Beach Cleanup, the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

We even partnered with Volunteer Income Tax Association as we do every semester.

So our main event was our Los Angeles Food Bank. This is an event we

participate in every semester. At the food bank, we organize and create food

packages for food insecure individuals and families of Los Angeles.

In the very beginning of each semester we host a retreat at which members get

to know each other better by playing games and competing against each other.

Afterwards members are placed into the families Beta, Alpha, and Psi. Throughout

the semester, these families go to fun events together to bond at a more

personal level. In the past, we have gone to Korean barbecue, bowling, and escape

rooms. Another aspect that we focus on here at Beta Alpha Psi is on building

meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Coming in as a transfer

student, I was really lost on how I would integrate myself into the USC community,

but Beta Alpha Psi has solved that problem. There was no better feeling than

walking into my accounting classes and seeing a bunch of familiar faces. Another

program we have here at BAP is the Big Little Program where we help pair new

members with existing members in order to help them develop and transition into

the overall Beta Alpha Psi community. Now let's switch gears and hear from

Professor Layton about the great opportunities that Beta Alpha Psi has

to offer. She has been a part of this chapter

since she was a student herself and is now our current faculty advisor.

Each year we work on trying to improve things here at

USC and make it a more valuable experience.

for the students. With such a large chapter of over 100 members each semester, we want

to make sure that it's also friendly and that students get a lot out of it.

There's a social aspect to it as well as a professional aspect to it, and I think

Beta Alpha Psi has a lot to offer both to know who they are and how to interview, and how

to meet new people, how to network, and then also make lifelong friends. Tor the upcoming

Fall 2018 semester, I hope that the general members feel a sense of

community and family, and that they will not only feel as if they are general

members, but they are a unique asset to the organization as a whole.

EPA Sends $12 Million To California After Air Pollution Lawsuit - Duration: 1:04.

Finally tonight some good news.

The EPA is sending $12 million to Southern California to combat the region's devastating

air pollution problem.

The announcement comes just one day after the state filed a lawsuit against the EPA.

In that lawsuit, California accuses the agency of providing no good reason for reversing

its policy of setting tough emission standards on automakers.

Now the EPA will be sending a total of $30 million in grants to various district on the

west coast that are out of compliance with air pollution standards.

It's suspected that the agency's multimillion-dollar grant came in response to the legal challenge

they were slapped with the day before.

In either case, this is a positive development for the Californians.

The EPA's Scott Pruitt probably would've preferred to not enforce our country's air pollution

regulations, but a major lawsuit looks to have gotten him thinking twice about acting

on behalf of his friends in the oil industry rather than the people he was sworn into office

to protect.

As Gov. Jerry Brown ponders a California Supreme Court vacancy, one of his earlier appointees defies - Duration: 13:25.

Justice Leondra R. Kruger, the youngest California Supreme Court justice in modern history, had just given birth

She flew from the Bay Area with her 4-week-old daughter in 2016 for court hearings in Los Angeles, donning a black robe while her mother-in-law cared for the newborn in an upstairs office

Kruger was still nursing. Advertisement The first justice to give birth while in office, the seventh female justice in the court's history and its fourth African American, Kruger has been forging a singular path on the state's most prestigious court

Four years after her swearing-in, the Los Angeles County native and former U.S. Supreme Court practitioner has become the most unpredictable of Gov

Jerry Brown's three appointees on the seven-member court. She is more likely than her Democratic colleagues to vote with the Republican appointees because of her "inherently lawyerly caution," eschewing sharp shifts in the law, said Kirk C

Jenkins, an appellate lawyer who studies and writes about the court. Colleagues describe her as meticulous, hewing to the precise text of laws and ruling as narrowly as possible out of concern that a result in one case could have unintended consequences in another

While Brown's other appointees, Goodwin Liu and Mariano-Florentino Cuellar, have used their perches on the state's highest court to try to set clear rules or steer policy, Kruger strives to keep changes in the law incremental

"She is clearly more conservative, at least in criminal cases, than Goodwin Liu or Tino Cuellar," said UC Berkeley law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky

He attributed the difference to Kruger's background. She served for several years as a lawyer in the U

S. solicitor general's office, representing the views of the Obama administration in civil and criminal cases before the U

S. Supreme Court. Others say her approach reflects a careful and deliberate nature

She appears more concerned about following precedent than making policy, and her caution makes her wary of taking cases that pose questions without ready answers, analysts said

"My approach reflects the fact that we operate in a system of precedent," Kruger, 41, said in an interview

"I aim to perform my job in a way that enhances the predictability and stability of the law and public confidence and trust in the work of the courts

" Brown has said he is taking his time to fill a nearly year-old vacancy on the court because his fourth appointee may be "very decisive," forming a new majority

But the three he already has chosen do not vote as a bloc. Several days ago, Cuellar wrote a majority decision upholding a death penalty verdict and sentence

The Republican appointees joined Cuellar. Liu and Kruger dissented. Liu, a former law professor, writes concurrences and dissents fueled with independent scientific and social research, drawing attention to problems that the Legislature or other policymakers might want to address

Cuellar aims for clarity in the law, even if that means changing it more than incrementally, to provide direction to lower courts

Before his appointment, he ran an institute and taught law at Stanford University and served in the White House during Democratic administrations

Kruger thinks and approaches cases like the appellate lawyer she has been for most of her career, attorneys said

Advertisement During hearings, "she is most likely to ask you that question you probably have been wrestling with … the most difficult one," Jenkins said

"She has an impressive intellect." To be sure, Kruger and her two Democratic colleagues agree on many cases

In fact, the court often rules unanimously. But the differences in the Democratic appointees have arisen in closely watched cases

Kruger wrote a majority ruling that declined to strike down a California law that makes it difficult for someone arrested but not convicted — and possibly not even charged — to remove his or her DNA profile from a state database

Kruger said the case was the wrong vehicle for deciding the issue. Liu, Cuellar and a Democratic appointee filling in on the court disagreed, citing the California Constitution's protection of privacy

California's top court has the final say on state law, and justices in the past have used the California Constitution to forge a progressive path independent of the U

S. Supreme Court. California, for instance, struck down laws prohibiting interracial marriage and same-sex marriage before the U

S. Supreme Court acted. Kruger also joined the more conservative justices in voting against review of a case in which Orange County judges challenged the district attorney's office for refusing to appear before a judge who had angered the prosecutors

Chemerinsky, who represented the judges against the prosecutors, said the court of appeal, which ruled 2 to 1 for the prosecutors, clearly had expected the state high court to take the case

Kruger was a mystery to most of California's legal community when Brown chose her for the court

She had spent most of her career out of state. California Court of Appeal Justice J

Anthony Kline, a friend of Brown's, said she came highly recommended. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was "incredibly effusive about her" and called her "one of the best advocates in the Department of Justice," Kline said

Brown offered her the position the day after interviewing her, Kruger said, and she soon packed up her family and moved from Washington to the East Bay

She will appear on the November ballot unopposed for a 12-year term. Kruger grew up in Pasadena and South Pasadena, the daughter of two doctors, one a native of Jamaica, the other the son of Eastern European Jewish immigrants

She attended Pasadena's prestigious Polytechnic School, where alumnus Joe Mathews, now a journalist, recalled her as a "nerdy student in a nerdy school

" Advertisement After school she often hung around her mother's pediatric practice, where she did homework amid the sounds of crying babies and made little ornaments from tongue depressors and cotton swabs

She has several half-siblings and regards as a sister a cousin from Jamaica who lived with her family when Kruger was a teenager

Kruger received her undergraduate degree from Harvard and law degree from Yale, where she also was the first black woman to be editor in chief of the law journal

In interviews, her colleagues on the court described her as quiet and even-tempered with a sparkling sense of humor that can be self-deprecating

They said she writes well, researches thoroughly and can concisely and quickly summarize complicated matters

"She is just a very careful jurist," said Justice Carol A. Corrigan, an appointee of former Gov

Arnold Schwarzenegger, when asked if Kruger was more conservative than Brown's other picks

Though Kruger is confident, she does not seek the limelight, those who know her said

UC Berkeley law professor Melissa Murray, who studied law with Kruger at Yale, recalled that black law students organized a dinner party to celebrate Kruger landing at the helm of the law review, an important milestone

They gave speeches about what her achievement meant to them. Kruger, though, just seemed to want to get the attention off her, said Murray

"I don't think she is someone who clamors for it all," Murray said. While some justices prefer tablets, Kruger, a high school and college journalist, likes paper

She usually has a tall stack of written briefs next to her on the bench. "There is nothing like having a pen in your hand," she said with a sigh

She likes literary fiction, particularly the works of Zadie Smith, but as a high court justice and a mother of two young children, her free time is limited

"I will confess that much of my pleasure reading is limited to 'Goodnight Moon,'" she said

California AIDS Rates Soar After Jerry Brown Legalized Willful HIV Spread - Duration: 6:22.

AIDS rates in California have soared in the last year following Gov. Jerry Brown's decision

to legalize the intentional spread of the HIV virus.

Last year, Governor Brown passed a controversial law that made it legal for HIV infected people

to knowingly infect others.

He also gave blood banks the green-light to accept HIV infected blood from donors.

Unsurprisingly, this has been a complete disaster for the state of California.

Whilst HIV and AIDS cases continue to decline nationally, new figures show that California

is currently in the grip of a new epidemic.

Patch.com reports: More than half of new HIV cases in 2016 were in Southern states, where

38 percent of U.S. residents live, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

said.

In California, there were 15.2 new cases per 100,000 population in 2016, according to the

report.

Though new cases were disproportionately concentrated in the South, HIV infections nationwide dropped

18 percent from 2008 to 2014, the CDC said in an earlier report.

The biggest decline — 56 percent, to 1,700 cases in 2014 — was among IV drug users,

but the opioid crisis could offset those gains, said Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of the

agency's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention.

"The opioid epidemic in our country is jeopardizing the dramatic progress we've made in reducing

HIV among people who inject drugs," Mermin said in a statement.

"We need to expand the reach of comprehensive syringe services programs, which reduce the

risk of HIV infection without increasing drug use, and can link people to vital services

to help them stop using drugs."

Some states saw substantial drops in HIV infection rates during the six-year period, according

to the earlier report.

New HIV infection rates dropped by 10 percent each year in Washington, D.C., 8 percent in

Maryland, 7 percent in Pennsylvania, 6 percent in Georgia, 5 percent in New York and North

Carolina, 4 percent in Illinois and 2 percent in Texas.

The new CDC report on HIV rates, based on 2014 and 2015 data, takes a deeper look at

the geographic locations and racial and ethnic backgrounds of those most at risk.

It showed that 37,600 people nationally were diagnosed with HIV in 2014, more than half

of them in the South.

Also that year, 53 percent of the 6,000 people who died from HIV lived in the South.

SubscribeThe report marks some other differences, too.

Nationally, the majority of people with new HIV diagnoses live in urban areas, where medical

treatment is readily available.

But in the South and Midwest, 23 percent and 21 percent, respectively, live in suburban

or isolated rural areas.

In the South in particular, the larger and more geographically dispersed population of

people living with HIV creates special challenges for prevention and treatment, the CDC said.

Understanding the places and populations most affected by HIV and AIDS allows the federal

government to more effectively target its resources where they're needed the most,

while still supporting basic HIV education and prevention for everyone across the country,

according to the agency.

The need is especially acute in the South, where people are less likely than in other

areas of the country to know they're infected.

Nationally, 85 percent of people living with HIV knew they had tested positive for the

virus, but 10 of 17 Southern states fell below that mark.

Early treatment is critical.

Nationally, 75 percent of people newly diagnosed with HIV got the care they needed within a

month, but that didn't happen in half of Southern states.

As a result the CDC said, people are three times more likely to die in some Southern

states as in others.

Minorities, especially African-Americans, were most at risk of HIV infections, according

to the report.

That corresponds to general population trends that show more than half of the nation's

black population lives in Southern states — Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, the District

of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,

South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

Also from the report:

In all geographic areas but the West, African-Americans were more likely to contract HIV than other

races.

They made up 54 percent of new diagnoses in the South, 50 percent of new diagnoses in

the Midwest, 39 percent of new diagnoses in the Northeast, and 19 percent in the West.

In the West, 39 percent of people newly diagnosed with HIV were Hispanics/Latinos.

That compares with 31 percent in the Northeast, 20 percent in the South and 12 percent in

the Midwest.

In the Midwest, 34 percent of those with new HIV diagnoses were white, compared with 32

percent in the West, and 23 percent in both the Northeast and the South.

In the West, 6 percent of those with new HIV diagnoses were Asian, compared with 3 percent

in the Northeast, 2 percent in Midwest and 1 percent in the South.

The disparities point to a need for targeted programs at both state and local levels to

accelerate prevention strategies, said Dr. Eugene McCray, director of the CDC's Division

of HIV/AIDS Prevention.

"That means more testing to diagnose infections, increasing the proportion of people with HIV

who are taking HIV treatment effectively and maximizing the impact of all available prevention

tools," McCray said in a statement.
