Strata Hadoop World, whoops, it goes to my microphone. It's the siliconangle.com, siliconangle.tv.cube. We're back here live in New York City for Strata Hadoop World where all the big action is happening in big data, big insights, new technologies and startups. This is siliconangle.com's coverage with wikibon.org. Siliconangle.com is a reference point for tech innovation. This is our third live broadcast in-depth coverage of Hadoop World starting back to 2010. I'm joined with my co-host Dave Vellante at wikibon.org, free research, all free content, no banner ads on siliconangle.com, free research at wikibon.org. It's a wiki, it's editable, great community. Dave Vellante, let's just do a breakdown when doing an analysis of day one here at Hadoop World. So first I want to just say we've had some amazing guests. We had Mike Olson on, John Schroeder, the CEO of MapR, very impressive. MapR is doing fantastic. We have the hottest startup right now in big data here at Strata, HEDAPT, which was a crown, the hot startup, they won the startup showcase. We've had data stacks. Jeff Hummerbacher, data scientist at Cloudera, who's the real driver behind their new Impala technology and platform, really taking Cloudera to a level where they wanted to go when they started. And great conversations we heard from Mike Dauber from Battery Ventures and what's hot in startups. We had Gina Blabber, the VP of Commerce to the Right, talking about the massive demand for people to come to this show. And of course, we have a lot of geeks. We have a lot of commentary. This is Silicon Angle, Wikibon. This is our way, this is what we do. We extract a signal from the noise. Dave, give me your breakdown. Well, first of all, I want to say people can get these videos on youtube.com slash siliconangle. We use the, oftentimes, we still use the siliconangle.tv site. We're using YouTube a lot more. The YouTube platform really is great and we've got a number of playlists. Go check that out. John, we are seeing major themes around unification, I call it unification, but bringing together structured and unstructured data, the SQL and the NoSQL world, bringing them together under one platform. The sort of conventional wisdom in this world has been, as you know, Hadoop is for batch, Real Time is for the big iron engines. We heard Larry Ellison talk about that at Oracle Open World. And in fact, even at IBM IOD this week, that's not the way in which most practitioners are looking at it. They want a way in which they can unify their platforms into a single environment. That's why Adaptive's doing so well and is really doing well on the Buzz meter. That's why it won last night's startup award. So we're seeing that as a major theme. The other theme we're seeing is application, developing applications on top of Hadoop. As you know, John, because you've done this, it's not trivial, right? It's not easy to do. And so we're seeing tools and capabilities come out that are making it easier for regular people and developers and eventually business people to really tap the power of Hadoop. And that's really some of the big themes that we've seen here. We're excited to be here. This is SiliconANGLE's theCUBE. And I want to just say a shout out to the people who make it possible for us to do this amazing independent analysis and guest coverage, insight interviews, drill downs, breaking analysis here at SiliconANGLE. And we want to thank O'Reilly at the top of the list because they make this show possible. I want to put a shout out to O'Reilly and Integrated Media Company. They're working on stuff that matters. That's their mission. Great company, follow O'Reilly. And then, Cloudera. Cloudera co-produced the event with O'Reilly. Cloudera founded Hadoop World. They merged it with Strata. I want to thank Cloudera for some amazing underwriting over the years. Cloudera, great company. They're now the platform for big data. And of course, MapR, the new player in platforms. MapR is really the one to watch in the enterprise. And then you got Datastax, Hortonworks, Hedapt, Opera, Squirrel, Tableau, and Rainstore. So without these help of these great companies, we would not have the ability to come to these events. Video's hard to do. We love to do it. We love doing this like sports to us. We geek out. Dave, and I agree with you. I think that this marketplace is exploding. And this year, it's not about Hadoop anymore. It's about big data. And the two main areas of focus are two. One, analytics. Better insights. That is the number one thing that everyone's talking about right now. What do you do with the data? And number two, it's about the businesses and about the people. Business value of making use of that data. And from those two key points, there's a lot of different conversations. We've gone down on the weeds. We've looked under the hood. We've talked to Jeff Hamerbacher, talking about what's going on with Impala. We've talked to Hedapt about making it easier in the SQL environment. We've talked about high availability. We've talked about a lot of things. So really a lot to talk about and a lot to explore. Yeah, John, and we've got a number of guests coming on the rest of this afternoon, as well as tomorrow. Up next is some folks from Hortonworks. Hortonworks made an announcement today with Microsoft and they've got a really, really tight partnership. We've got Doug Cutting coming on later today. So he's invented a dupe. He knows a little bit about it. And we're going to actually have for the first time a conversation with the new president of Hortonworks. His name is Herb Kunitz. He's a spring source. Went VMware. He knows about open source. The Hortonworks team has got a really amazing group of people. I'm very impressed. At first when Hortonworks was launched, you know we were very critical of them because we know we were friendly with Cloudera and a little bit bashing them down a little bit on trying to copy Cloudera. But you know what they did? They kept their knitting. They stayed true. They got a strong team and they are making huge contributions to Apache. It's an alternative to Cloudera. It's a different approach. But the market is growing so fast that there's so much demand for Hadoop in different kinds of ways. Vertical markets, two platforms, and obviously middleware. I think that's the key point, John, is I remember well when Hortonworks came out and of course you remember MapR as well doing the deal with Green Plum and EMC. And we were at EMC World and talking about the horse race. And yes, there was some skepticism. I know I was skeptical, but I think you're right on. The market is so large. We see MapR solving problems doing business. We heard their CEO on here saying, we don't announce a product until we got customers. And so that's impressive. Hortonworks, like you say, sticking to their knitting, really focusing on being open source and Cloudera innovating. You know, we're going to hear, we're going to take a break and just wrap up the segment. But I got to just say, Dave, I am really excited and passionate about this area. I think there's a transformation going on in big data that rivals almost nothing that I've ever seen before. And I'll give you an example. The PC revolution inspired a whole new generation, empowered the people to serve themselves through computing resources. Then came client server, no longer the mainframes that expand to the application market. Those two forces almost a decade apart, decade and a half apart, created massive innovation. I think big data, Dave, is as powerful as both of those big inflection points combined and it's happening faster than ever. And social media is just one example. And what I think is true, that's happening and it's a vision that we have, it's about the people. Social media is about people. It's about people and what their interests are. It's about people and their contributions. And it's about people. Life is about people. And I think the big data show here is about changing the world, but it comes down to people. Everything that we talk about with our guests comes down to people and then technology. People have to use the technology. So the themes are simpler, more elegant, business value, society value. This is where the action's at and it's really exciting to cover. And Herb Kunitz is up next, John, from Hortonworks. So we're gonna break here and... We'll be right back with Hortonworks, new president right after the short break.


It's hard for me to remember how it began. It started just like any other day. We had no way of knowing it would end like this It seems like such a long time ago that phone call to Jesse But it can't be more than just a few hours only a few hours since that ride home with Buck. I Thought how impatient I was to be here. I haven't been putting in overtime lately And I was Jesse out of the hospital and little Johnny here and just beginning to know me I couldn't wait to see them. It's been like that every night I guess sometimes it's best. We don't know what's coming How's this Henry swell anywhere along here book? Thanks, Buck. You sure you don't want to stop in for a minute. You haven't seen the kid yet You know see I'd like to but I got to get home early myself tonight. The wife's got some kind of a meeting I'll have to take care of my own kids. Okay, see you tomorrow night Hank. All right. Hey, hold it right there Oh, I didn't see officer. What's wrong? You'll have to wait a while. You can't go down that street. That's where I live What's the matter anyway? There's no one in sight the whole blocks deserted. That's how we want to keep it I'd like to get home my wife's waiting for me. You'll be a little late.  That's right And he's been living in this neighborhood.  Yeah, I think I'd better What'd you say he was crossing down three doors? Yeah, we're in the apartment house right next to it. You don't think there'll be any gunplay Just tell her to stay inside and keep a door locked. She'll be all right. Thanks Hi Charlie. Is that Juleska guy there after you know he's been living in the boarding house right next to you Yeah, I know how long has it been going on Charlie? They've been almost a half hour now a half hour What are they waiting for? Don't ask me. I got here about 5 30 when the police were just coming in They only took about five minutes to cover the block and a party of six or seven went in after them They haven't come out. Oh, oh, I've been watching why I wonder you didn't hear anything that sounded like shooting. No Want to hear something by now does seem funny doesn't unless he got out of his room But he couldn't get far. I want to get Jesse on the phone. She'll be wondering why I'm late. Oh, sure What's the matter honey? I thought you weren't gonna answer I was looking after Johnny. Are you okay? Just getting hungry Well, go ahead with a supper. I'm gonna be late. I Don't want to scare you Jess, but there's gonna be a little trouble next door I don't want you to leave our apartment trouble. Yeah, the police are after someone who's been hiding out in the boarding house next to us The whole block is surrounded. I won't be able to get home till it's over. You're not to come out Yes, there's nothing to be afraid of Jesse. All right, just stay inside and keep the door locked There's no need for that now. Bye dear what? Jesse hello Charlie. Oh, yeah, how high is that boarding house? There's a three stories. That's right Just like your place and that alley between them. How wide is it pretty narrow? I guess but there's a cop on both ends On the roof Charlie could anyone make the jump across is it too wide for that? I don't know She didn't sound right Charlie. She talked quick quiet like she wanted to get off the wire like yeah Like there was someone with her Charlie. I tell you I spoke to her on the phone about ten minutes ago And I'm sure there's something wrong up there captain. What makes you sure she was afraid of something I know she was something right there in the room with her. I didn't notice how different she sounded Well, I hung up. Where do you live in the boarding house? No the apartment house next door on the third floor Roader yes, sir Farrell's got some men going into the apartment house next to Gillesca stop. Yeah, he's in there with her, isn't he? He's in with my wife. I don't know fella. He could be anywhere now. You didn't find him in his room No, he's not in the boarding house. I knew it. He's with Jesse and my son take it easy He got across the roof didn't he our apartment is on the top floor. He could get an easy enough Maybe let me go up there captain. Please. Let me go up there. I want to be with my wife and kid Sorry hidden if it's true. He'll use them as hostages to make us hold our fire It's better that there are only two what difference does it make would you fire any sooner because they're only two not it at all I'm not even sure he's there. You haven't given us any real proof It's the only way you can make sure look look if everything's all right if he isn't there I'll call a drugstore and haven't tell you so if he is. Oh, well, I'll let you know somehow We can think of some kind of a signal You can't stop me anyway, it's my home my wife. That's in danger. I have a right to be there could stop you mister Should stop you but you won't I can go Listen to me. Yeah, you may be wrong about this, but what do you want me to do go straight to your wife? Don't do any investigating on the way. No looking down the alley or around corners Go there and lock the door behind you If you pass anyone you don't know on the stairs or in the halls keep going don't look back He's trapped Hayden and he's scared now and he'll kill you if he thinks you're on to him I know it if he's not in your place when you get there and he probably won't be Call headquarters and ask for grimes.  You know what I mean. Yeah Looks easy in the movies that usually works for a good guy, but this isn't the movies and You'll have three lives at stake Just relax to whatever he tells you keep a good distance from him Don't make any quick moves And above anything else don't watch a clock or the streets down here He's been in spots like this before and you'll know what it means. I know It's about all I can tell you just be careful We want this man Hayden. We want him badly, but we don't want anyone hurt getting him least of all a private citizen Understand I do thanks. Okay captain for I was holding up his men But he wants to know the score and get him over to my car order and have his men surround the apartment house Block every exit and put someone on the fire escape on the first floor, but no noise do it quietly. Yes Okay, Hayden you can get going. Yeah, he's not there Get the call in right away. Sure. I walked fast and I didn't look around I knew he might be anywhere now around the next corner hiding in the shadows around every side of me And up the stairs on the first landing the second But I couldn't turn back and I didn't dare slow down and I saw the door to our rooms at the head of the apartment House stairs He was there. I knew it now I could almost hear the heavy silence behind the door as he listened while I came closer. I Hesitated only a moment. I knew what I'd say. I lifted my hand to the door Jesse Jesse, it's me. You all right Jess honey, what's wrong? Why didn't you answer my knock? Honey, is everything okay? Jess, what is it? Company Henry Your salads are funny over the phone. I thought there was something wrong. It's okay, isn't it? Why don't you answer me Jess? Henry Where what get your hands over your head get up against the wall and don't make any noise Or I'll kill you arms grow heavy We leaned back against the wall and I saw Jesse turn white and our eyes begin to close with fatigue The room was quiet and there was no noise from the streets outside We could only wait. I Watched him in the shadows and remembered what the captain said about trying anything brave But he was smaller than I thought and only a few feet away And I wondered if it would really be so hard. Don't try it. Mr. This is a 45 I'm not afraid of your gun. It's because you never been hit You're hearing me and I know what you're thinking, but don't try it. I'm warning you You won't ever know what it means to wish you could die till you get a slug in the stomach Henry It's all right. I know he means it. I mean it.  No matter how long you stay here, they'll get you listen there guys Just like me those blue suits don't make them Superman. They make mistakes like everyone else They already made a big one. Oh, they shouldn't have sent you My wife didn't sound right when I spoke to her over the phone. I came up to find out why yeah She gave it away She's sorry about that. Just did it. All right, Henry Please it's all right. Did he hurt you just never mind that she just got out of the hospital. Would you like to see her go back? I hope they kill you They might I thought about it. I Guess maybe you better start thinking about it, too It'll happen next time you make it crack like that and we don't don't I'm gonna ask you a couple of questions And you're gonna give me the right answers the right answers. Mr. The first time you'll get hurt bad What do you want to know? Where were you when you made that phone call? Drag star across the street and your wife don't sound right. You think maybe something's wrong. Yes You want to get up here? You want to find out why yes? What takes you so long? What? We don't hear you coming up the stairs till almost 15 minutes after she hangs up You're doing all that time No, no at first. I wasn't sure she did sound like there was something wrong It was only after I hung up and got to think about it that I started to worry And then I made up my mind to come up, but it was later. You don't stop to talk it over with the cops Oh, why should I how can I know was you in here cops all over the block looking for me searching every building streets Probably closed off and your wife sounds scared over the phone, but she won't say why sounds like someone's with her But she won't say who and you don't think it might be me Well, yes Maybe I began to you don't say nothing to the cops though. Oh, just come up all by yourself. Yes You sure are there? Yes Okay I'm all right. What do you take me for a kid? There's a line of cops five feet thick around every building in the block and no one gets through unless they let him You're here cuz they put you here, and I'm giving you just five seconds to tell me why what's the big plan? I don't know about their plan. I don't know what they're going to do, but they know you're in here Don't stop. I did go to the police when I thought it was you here with my wife I don't think they believed me at first, but I talked to captain into letting me come anyway If you weren't here, I was supposed to call him right away, and if I was Nothing just wait And if they didn't hear in ten minutes it meant Man, I couldn't call but you were in this room. You what time did I too late much too late They know Juleska. There's no more searching down there in the dark around this building. They're all together You haven't got a chance. They know I Got a chance as long as I ain't alone.  It's all right. I'm sure of it Yeah, I haven't got much time Juleska. You know it Killing our baby is something you wouldn't do You can bring him in Jesse If you say so You're so sure this is the end of the line for me and those cops down there so sure Well, I'm telling you I got lots of time and you're gonna help me take it. Yeah, that's right Now back up to the wall peel off that jacket. What you heard me take off the jacket and throw it on the floor Sure. Why not? What are you gonna do?  You're gonna take it for a while. What do you mean? You don't see it, huh? I'm kind of surprised. I don't see any way out for you. That's what you mean. They know you're here Yeah, they know I'm here you made sure of that didn't you so they're covering every way out doors windows alleys What do you suppose it happened if I tried one of them? I think they'll kill you yeah, I Start out that window and every cop down there comes to make sure I don't finish the trip Maybe a couple come running up here that leaves lots of cops down on the bottom of the fire escape and a couple of cops up Here in the room, but not many anywhere else in the alley or on the streets or down near the river They'll all be watching the guy in the fire escape won't they and the guy in the fire escape He don't need to be me Tessie Won't work.  I gotta take that chance now You're going up that window misty and you're gonna take your time doing it.  What if they start shooting the minute I step out that window What if they do it's a chance you got to take you don't want me to take all the chances.  Johnny Johnny, huh?  Will you mister? No, no arguments and I'll be right here with both of them I see our little schemes working, so don't try no tricks on the way down. No What does he mean? Henry What's gonna happen?  No, yeah, I like come on Now you the window, okay?  It's all right. Hold on to Johnny and wait for me. It'll be all right I stepped out onto the iron platform and started down as slowly as I could But they'd seen the light go out and already I could hear quick moving on the street I could feel every eye begin to follow me down the narrow steps Juleska was right. It was going to work But it was happening too fast They'd find out too soon who they really had and then I knew there was a part of the plan He hadn't told me I jumped back into the wall But it was already too late from the window behind me He fired down into the police their guns flew up automatically and everyone was aimed at me Pain that came from everywhere And I could hear the shouts and bits of brick fell as the bullets hit around me It was shouting that faded away Waves of pain and other voices Other voices Don't touch him. Let him alone. He's losing blood. I gotta have a doctor. You don't get a doctor, lady Why don't you go? What are you waiting for? Haven't you done enough? He's been shot. He's hurt and you stand there. You'll be all right. Don't try to move darling. You'll be all right. Is it gone? No, mister. I ain't gone Our little scheme Don't look like it's gonna work It should have no reason it shouldn't But they're moving up on the stairs right now. Don't move Henry. We'll get a doctor. It'll be over in a minute You're glad, huh? I'm not glad It's ugly all of this I feel sorry for you. Well, don't I've been running for a long time. I think it'll feel good to stop It's funny when they're after you when you're running away. You look the same act the same as you always did But it's different on the inside. You're all tight and twisted no matter what you're doing.  Yeah, I killed a guy. I got mad real mad things happen when you get that way things You can't stop But when it's over no matter how it happened you're different from anyone else.  Please go Please haven't you heard us enough sure I'll go. Why not don't make much difference now, huh?  You're just a guy. Yeah Put your gun down Maybe they'll give you a chance chance. What chance I've been waiting for a chance all my life Give her the gun. It'll be better. Forget it.  Where's johnny and the other room went back You haven't got a chance Drop that thing and come down with your hands over your head He shouldn't yes Yes Why didn't it work?  Don't talk darling. It's over now. What happened. Tell me When the police fired he started for the door He was almost out and he stopped he He came back Henry It was still shooting you he went out onto the fire escape and lifted you into the room And he started out again for the door and we could already hear police on the stairs It was too late Is he all right? I don't know. I I think so. Would you get a doctor, please? One's on his way Take it easy mister. You're going to be okay Just lie easy. Yeah sure It's funny Not funny strange Strange for a killer


Gilder Media, a division of recorded books, presents Absolute Essentials of Project Management by Paul Roberts, narrated by Sean Grindel, Publishers Note. In this audio edition you'll hear references to figures, graphs and tables, present in the print and e-book formats of this book. Chapter 1 Introduction A first visit to New York is not complete without ascending the Empire State Building. Before arriving at the viewing platform, visitors are treated to an exhibition of memorabilia, which includes designs and plans from the 1930s when it was being built. Until one realises how sophisticated techniques were being used almost a century ago, it is easy to think that project management is a very modern undertaking. In point of fact, without it, the construction of 103 stories in a year and 45 days would have been almost impossible. Well, before the discipline was as widespread as it is today, mankind has been using projects. From the construction of churches, temples, roads and pyramids, to the development of today's most complex digital business systems, projects have been the vehicle to build and deliver things. We hear about them in the media and we use them in our personal and professional lives. In fact, they are so commonplace that we sometimes find ourselves involved in projects without even realising. A good deal has been written about the management of projects, not least by me, but when all of this wisdom is boiled down to the absolute essentials, most of what is left is good old-fashioned common sense. That's what lies at the heart of this book, the essence of what effective project management is all about. Without having to scour many other no-doubt excellent works, this small book brings together the most important project management principles and techniques. Significantly, this is not a book aimed at only project managers. The project manager is neither the only person involved in the management of the project, nor the most important. It takes a leadership and management team to deliver a project successfully. The leader of any project is its sponsor. This is the person who may have conceived the project, has secured its funding, and is held accountable for ensuring that the investment is outweighed by the benefits it promises to deliver. This book also has such people in mind. In producing a book which, by its own definition, is of a limited size and scope, it has been necessary to omit some related subject matter. Specifically, I have excluded an exposition on the soft skills which may be desirable and useful to those involved in projects. Whilst appreciating its importance, deli... Sample complete.

The study determined the prevalence, positive predictive value, PPV, and odds ratio, OR, for cervical cancer screening based on different HPV genotypes before and after HPV vaccination. The results suggest that HPV screening tests in the post-vaccination era might perform better if restricted to the HPV types included in the non-availant vaccine, while screening for all 14 HPV types may result in suboptimal balance of harms and benefits. This article was authored by Marie Nygold, Bo T. Hansen, Suzanne Cakejare, and others.


id with north county schools to talk about mental health issues the role that plays with criminal justice, you know to um it becomes Incredibly important if we don't want someone to end up on your caseload To do that work early on. So I think your outreach to schools is Is very warranted And the last thing I'll just say is I really appreciate the work and reduce the number of kids placed And group homes outside the county I'm not uh, I know that doesn't make them any better. Um, it really uh breaks up the the The things that that we know will make a difference in reducing recidivism Which is keeping them tied to a support network in their community Keeping them connected to the family if possible keeping them in school And so any as we do that work to keep on reducing that number Is a worthwhile goal and we'll yield good public safety results So I appreciate the work that that you do every day and and um, I wish you great success with the Remaining grants that you have out there. Thank you. Thank you for one last thing. I'll just say is uh, when I Specifically acknowledged Sarah Fletcher for her participation in the justice and gender task force And there have been other probation staff that have participated On that task force when we've looked at the the criminal justice system But Sarah is is there month after month and is a great participant and provides a lot of great information So thank you for that and I want to let you know that we're incorporating a lot of what we've learned Through that task force into our practices and even policies And starting with our service center there. We're developing a gender specific type of programming there So it's been very helpful work and gone a long way. Yeah, thank you. Welcome Um Supervisor Pearson. Yeah, congratulations, mr. Draldo For your success and everybody in the staff It's really truly impressive and I can continue to be impressed by the Continuous improvements that you've made and I remember going back to Philadelphia with some of your staff to the Casey foundation A nationwide gathering that Santa Cruz county was at the center of how to get things done or how to do it And very impressive and you just have to continue Your efforts in that regard It's somewhat Phenomenal how many grants you get and you see it's just see to keep coming in and I know that there are some Restrictions on those that you just have received of almost seven million dollars, but That was a very competitive and I think it shows again How much stature you hold in this state and throughout this nation and and Addressing those who are in need of probation support I think that I Do you continue the objectives into next year is is Very impressive, but several Objectives supporting youth in particular The young who have already offended and then who are at risk and to divide those up and See how you can really Get to them and help them before they They reoffend number one, but don't offend in the first place number two, but they're on that track But I I look forward to hearing More in your development of appropriate facilities that could provide those better services And how we can coordinate our efforts with the With what's in the jail and so forth and I I think what you have done is Outstanding to date and just keep up the good work. Thank you. We will continue and we'll be sure to report back on the progress These grants it's one thing to put them together and all the thought and work that goes into them But I always tell staff then as they know the hard work begins when you've got to implement them And sort of take that like movie script and turn it into the movie Right, so we got a lot of hard work, but it's going to be very rewarding And beneficial. Thank you Right How you doing doing very well. Thank you. How about you very well? Thank you. All right Yeah, I just a quick question. I don't think I've ever asked you but when I saw the You know equipment and everything that you do need Um, it says uh handcuffs. How how often does and when I say you I mean your department How often do you have to actually use handcuffs? Um, fortunately not Very regularly, but we do we make arrests we have we do In the community we have folks who are um out of compliance and or have a warrant status and they're agreeable To um to come and turn themselves in so we we do the arrest put them in handcuffs Put them in a caged vehicle and transport them to the jail in summits is juvenile hall We have youth who are on Alternatives to detention program with strictly, you know house arrest and The route of compliance and we do affect arrest in those situations. So, um, I don't know the statistics But we we do make arrests and we do sure user, you know handcuffs, but it's uh It's not a you know, 50% of the the day, you know spent doing that, but we do that now if somebody is Violated their probation. Do you? Sometimes I guess you just tell them to turn themselves in Well, there's a there's a continuum We have to look at the severity of harm and the the violation really how that's impacting the community Victims and measure that against the need to put them in custody. So we have a continuum of responses So it's a it's a response grid to violations because they're all different in nature And so some responses which are severe enough if there's someone on a domestic violence caseload Who has a stay-away order? However, they're they're visiting that person or you know, stalking them That's a severe violation and that person probably would need to be go into custody But there's other violations that are not necessarily something that we would need to handle Taking them to jail, but we can respond with appropriate interventions that would Would support different behavior. So it's a continuum of responses from really not that severe to severe But we have a matrix that helps us decide because we want to be All our probation officers we would like them to respond similarly to the same violations I think what's interesting about your department and probation officers and in the whole you know as a whole is You actually you know your client, I guess and but you also know their families, you know their history It's a very personal job And thank you for acknowledging that I think that's really a story that needs to be shared and heard that now We we're with these clients for a long time, you know, you have a the point of arrest Point of going to jail prosecution And most frequently probation that's a common commonly used sentencing and then we have them for three years five years Or more in some cases and so we get to know them and everybody in that family and support So we some ways be we become part of the family and you'd be surprised that When our probationers they have life changes children They come to us first to tell us all the good news because we become We've been that really consistent role role model and figure and presence in their lives. So It's just my my staff, uh, it's if you could spend some time with them and see what they do Day in and day out. It's incredible Supervisor, please I think it's lower than the state or national average and just briefly. Yeah, we well last year in 2018 We completed a recidivism recidivism study of our ab 109 population In our for instance our two-year recidivism rate when compared to 12 other counties And this is using the same methodology and the state definition of recidivism was 39 percent at 37 percent of two years into three years. It was 47 percent And so of course that means people did reoffend and recidivated Most of those were misdemeanors. So one of our goals is is to really Put in a process where we can annually re-measure that using the same Measures that we have in place. So and coincidentally just today Um a the public policy institute of california. I think it's ppic Released a report. I haven't I just looked at the summary initially and it talks about recidivism rate We're not included in that study, but it Something that everyone's interested in but I do want to share The recidivism is is one way to measure success and it's important But there's a lot of other things that we also want to look at in terms of client client success as well But we're working hard to to keep, you know, obviously measuring recidivism All right. Uh, so thank you for your presentation today and for your work year round We've opened and uh Close public comment. So now it's time for a motion Motion by McPherson Second by leopold all those in favor. Please say aye. I Opposed that passes unanimously. Thank you. Thank you Now we'll move on to our final presentation of the day. This is page Or item number 49 consider the 2019 proposed budgets for the sheriff corner as Outlined in the reference budget documents and scheduled the continuing agreements list items for final approval on last day budget hearings on june 25th 2019 as outlined in a memorandum of the sheriff corner Good morning chair community board of supervisors jim heart sheriff corner and I just want to start out by letting you know who's here today our our administrative services manager kathy sam's a seat next to me She's she and her team work daily in our budget And she's the most intimate with it And then uh, my law enforcement chief mitch madina is here My corrections chief jeremy verinsky and then also my undersheriff craig wilson is here as well And so before I get started on my comments, I do want to acknowledge the work that we do with the caos office and carlos plasios and our our analyst melanie sereno and I just really appreciate the relationship that we have and the ability to negotiate Some of these tough budgets and get things figured out and I really appreciate the way that we work together. So thank you to them Today, I want to talk to you about a few things. I want to talk to you about our crime crime rates I want to we're going to talk a little bit about accomplishments of budget overview And then some highlights in the 19 to 21 budget as well as how our budget aligns with the strategic plan for the county so Obviously law enforcement fire is very expensive endeavor and it's something the taxpayers pay a lot of money For and when you're running a 24 hour a day seven day a week operation We cost four times what a normal county department's going to cost because we have to have that many personnel covering a large geographical area and so I just want to give you an idea of what some of the return for dollars is on this and the first slide I want to share with you Is our crime rates and I was looking back at annual reports dating back to the 70s that were written by al-norn's administration And the crime rate in santa cruz county in 1975 was 52 crimes per 1000 people 52 crimes per 1000 people and those are the good old days that people want though They pine for the good old days, right? I grew up here People want you know back then they could let their kids roam free and do all these things But there was 52 crimes per 1000 people in santa cruz county in the unincorporated area And so when you look at this chart, you can see before prison realignment We were sitting at about 27 crimes per 1000 residents And then after realignment it declined by a third down to about 17 and it's remained relatively flat It ticked up a little bit after prop 47 hit But it's flattened out to about 15 16 crimes per 1000 residents and that's both property crime and violent crime Moving on to our homicide rates as you guys you guys have all been around a long time In the 70s santa cruz was known as the murder capital of america We move into the 80s. You can see that uh in this chart our homicides in unincorporated santa cruz county not counting the cities This is unincorporated santa cruz county From 84 to 88 we had 51 killings In that five-year period that is a lot of homicides for a county our size for about Well now it's 140 000 residents back then i think it was less than 100 000 residents And then a drop down to the next five-year period was 30 and then it leveled out over the next 20 years to about an average of about 18 homicides for every five years And then you can see from 2014 to 2018 we've dropped down to four That's a remarkable number And when you're talking about a 90 reduction of homicides from the 80s to where we're at present day and Moving on to the next Oops, we didn't get that in there There there's another slide that I wanted to share with you that i'll just i'll just briefly mention is that Our Overall crime rate is half of the average of the state of california State of california overall crime rate is at 30 and we're at 15 And so I think these are numbers that we should be really happy with we certainly having an eradicated crime in santa cruz county But we're doing pretty well and it's really hard to Determine what's causing this lowering of the crime whether it's there's been so many Legislative and voter approved initiatives over the last 10 years between prison realignment prop 47 prop 57 prop 64 And then a bunch of legislative changes. It's hard to put your finger on what's On what's making this decline, but we're seeing it on the juvenile side and we're seeing it on the adult side And so since we can't really pinpoint it i'm just going to claim that it's outstanding work by the sheriff's office As far as This is out of Okay, well we will just stick with this gath is fine so as far as some accomplishments In uh 18 19 it's already been mentioned that we located the or opened the aptos public safety center, which is a joint venture with district attorney probation and Supervisor friend and that that was a it's going to be It's it's really a great location. It's in the heart of aptos And I think it's going to be of great service to the aptos community Uh further accomplishments in 18 19 We continue to provide to 24 hour sessions a year to sheriff's office employees as well as all law enforcement in santa Cruz county for crisis intervention team training And we have about 60 of our corrections and operation staff is now trained in crisis intervention team training and With the amount of mental health calls for service that we're experiencing right now somewhere between 8 or 10 a day for people in Serious mental health crisis just in the county not counting the cities This training is proved to be very beneficial for our staff and for the community We're also Providing icat training which is integrated communications assessment and tactics training and and what this training Talks about and it's we've done five or six ten hour blocks of this for our patrol staff And what this training talks about is how to deal with somebody who has a weapon That's not a gun and bring that case to a successful resolution And we're we're seeing these cases over and over and over in patrol Baseball bats knives swords axes rocks that our people are being confronted with And we have to figure out ways using time distance cover communication skills to successfully resolve those cases and we are We've also implemented body worn cameras and corrections So now every frontline staff member whether you're working in patrol or you're working in our jails is wearing a body worn camera And there's very specific rules on how that camera is used and how that evidence is stored and and how long it's stored But we're doing somewhere in the neighborhood of five to six thousand video segments a month right now And during critical cases whether they're they're occurring in the jail or out in the community That body worn camera evidence is is telling us a lot about what happened on that particular call we've also Are have started our focused intervention team which is funded with measure g dollars that was passed in the November election for the half cent sales tax And that team is doing quite well. There's been a lot of early successes They're they're running a full caseload. We have three personnel from the sheriff's office on it We're also Partnering with county mental health and they're providing three of their personnel and we're out in the community dealing with high volume call High volume users of the judicial system and people who just Refused to get treatment and and so far that team's going well we've also embedded a manager and two detectives into the cannabis compliance unit And there's been a number of cases that have been publicized locally about what this team is doing And they're really going after the bad actors and the people that are causing environmental damage Is the people that are laundering money the people that are shipping large quantities of marijuana to other states As well as people have firearms and we've located a lot of firearms during some of these illegal Rural operations that our people are coming across We've also increased medical services out at roundtree. We opened up the Rehabilitation and reentry facility Last year and now we have 150 men on that campus And so there was a need to expand medical coverage and we were able to do that in the 1819 budget And then we're we're at the end of about year two of a four-year process to get our lab certified to process dna evidence And this has a lot of value to local the local justice system I think I mentioned to you last year But it takes the department of justice on a priority case say a sexual assault case or a homicide case About eight to 12 weeks to get a return on dna evidence And with our own lab we'll be able to turn that evidence around in about two days And that's gonna that's gonna get the the violator off the street quicker It's going to bring closure to the survivor of that crime and it's going to provide better evidence to the courts and for the district attorney And so in this current budget cycle we were able to Create a lab director position which was filled and then behind that we were able to Get a lab manager position filled And then i'll talk about it in a moment as far as what we're doing moving forward with some more personnel And then we're in the accreditation process for our corners division through the international association of coordiners and medical examiners And and our corners unit will be accredited within the next six to 12 months Just a brief budget overview You can see our revenues are up As our expenditures and i'll talk about that in a moment And our our total funded staffing allocation for 1920 is going to be about 358 employees So our revenues primarily through 172 money as well as Is ab 109 dollars is coming in around 31 million dollars this year our total expenditures about 85 million The 1920 budget calls for a status quo in most of the other areas including overtime training Services and supplies We are asking for a few items to increase security particularly around drug use And smuggling into our jail system And i i do want to provide you Some photos Just from a case that occurred two days ago Thank you And so drugs are coming into our facilities three ways they're coming in at intake So somebody is brought into the main jail By an arresting agency. It could be any of the police departments. It could be the probation department But somebody's arrested they come into our facilities and they have drugs concealed in a body cavity And the photographs that you're looking at or the photograph that you're looking at There was two ounces of heroin and methamphetamine marijuana tobacco and hypodermic syringes that were taken from a person's body cavity two days ago Those drugs would have eventually made it into our general housing unit We had a a person bring in two ounces of methamphetamine about a month and a half ago And it caused multiple overdoses it caused one woman to have open heart surgery because she used a lot of it And those medical expenses are all being paid by us as tax payers. So we really have to work on increasing our security around drug abuse inside our jails and so The besides intake Drugs are coming in through the mail and that's a very small amount of drugs and then they're coming in through contact visits We have contact visits at our roundtree facility and at the blain street facility And so we could easily say okay, we've got a drug problem We're just going to end contact visits, but that's not that's not what's best the or the right thing to do We have to allow Our lower level incarcerated people to have contact visits with their children and loved ones. So With that To to combat the intake challenge that we're having we're we're going to lease a body scanner And they're in many california prisons and county jails And it's much like what you see at the airport And so when somebody comes into the main jail and they're going to go through the intake process they're going to walk through this body scanner And we have a very strict draft policy on data storage who has the right to view that information As well as when that body scanner will be used But we believe that that's going to prevent a lot of the drugs coming in At intake this budget also calls for the hiring of an additional correctional officer and a canine Which will be a labrador drug sniffing dog. We already have one of those In our patrol team. It's very effective. And so during contact visits and also That animal would be used on cell searches and some other things But I I believe just the presence of having a dog at the Family visits will deter people from even trying to bring drugs into the jail system And so we're looking at this as a three-pronged approach the mail each item a mail gets searched and gone through But but these folks are clever and they have ways of getting it in so But that that's where we're going to be upgrading our some of our security our correctional facilities We're also this budget asked to bring on an additional sexual assault detective to work on inmate related sexual assaults that are reported in our jail system As far as continued progress with dna certification This budget is asking to fund two dna criminalists mid-year And those dna criminals will help us start establishing some of the protocols and procedures and continue our certification process they will also begin working on prepping dna samples that sent to get sent to doj that will That will improve the time the turnaround time from the department of justice Currently as far as in inmate dental goes we only provide dental services at the main jail So if there's somebody at roundtree who needs dental services We have to transport that person down to the main jail And so we're going to be or we're asking to expand dental services out to the roundtree facility We're in year two of a complete replacement on our handheld radios those those radios have aged out and the Radio shop is no longer able to work on them. And so we're going to be completing the replacement of those and then something you don't really think about but when you're when you're cooking or or Producing two thousand meals a day inside our jail facilities We have industrial kitchens at two locations and industrial equipment And some of this equipment is over 30 years old and it needs replacement. So this budget is calling To replace some of the the items that need that need to be replaced as far as Is how our operational goals align with the county strategic plan So the under operational excellent excellence we are working with the CAO's office in the probation department about trying to identify existing facilities and and Assets that the county owns that that we could use In creating a all-women's jail facility And I think this is something that the county is going to have to address at some point Whether it's this year five years from now or 10 years now it's going to have to be addressed We currently house have two women's housing units in what's essentially an all-male jail and There's a lot of operational things that can go along with that and so The best practice is is to have a women's facility that that women go to from From intake to booking to pre-trial to post adjudication to release and so that's That's an area that we're going to be examining see if there's some things that we can do on that and into to examine what's sort of Finance and we can find for something like that We're also looking at increasing our medical services And then what we talked about the dna and the the corners piece As far as comprehensive health and safety goals The sheriff's office is always partnering with local communities. We have seven substations throughout the county We we have to invest in our facilities and in our main jail. It is really At a point where it's aging out it is It's at the end of life And so it takes a lot of money time and effort to keep that facility going And then of course invest investing in our own employee safety equipment to reduce injuries is always a priority Our staff is going to be or at least a part of our staff is going to be going to a different type of uniform this year That's a carrier that takes a lot of the weight off backs because we do suffer a lot of back injuries due to Due to The duty belt weighing about 20 pounds and the constant wear and tear on our people's backs So we're going to transfer some of that weight to the shoulders and it will be a purchasing Purchasing equipment for that So that's those are the items that I wanted to talk about and and I'm asking that the board approve this proposed budget for The sheriff's office including all supplemental material was recommended by the county administrative officer And I'm happy to answer any questions or listening comments. You might have Okay, uh, Supervisor lip hold Uh, thank you chair. Thank you for the presentation and thank you for the ongoing work Of you and all the staff and the sheriff's office. Uh, I'm fortunate enough to have an office At the at the sheriff administration building I get to see a lot of activity it goes on there people being uh, they're People coming in and getting help and uh, and the trainings that go on On a regular basis, uh, and just the ongoing day-to-day work. So it's very impressive and uh I the operational goals that you have I think are are are good Um, you and I have talked about the facilities and I hope that will take advantage Of things like either the the task force on justice and gender Or the jail overcrowding task force or some other things to take a look at the issues that you bring up around facilities Because I think they're really important. Um, and I hope you'll you would also be willing to participate in the discussion that I brought up with um, uh, Mr. Gerardo about uh trying to figure out whether there are people that we're holding In our jails who don't necessarily need to be there and would Help relieve some of the capacity issues That are in our county jails right now In regards to, uh, the One of the goals around the dna laboratory Um, I'm wondering whether it's going to help us go one of the One of the concerns that is regularly brought up to me is what's going on with our sart program and that people have to go outside the county and What do we have a uh, it will this help us bring that all that work back here Well, I'll uh under sheriff wilson has been assigned to On the sart piece of it. So if I could have him just say a few comments about where we're at with that We are in a transition period where they will be coming back over Uh, the the dna Lab will certainly expedite Cases where we're not sure if Who the suspect is or if there's some question as to who the suspect is because We'll be if we are able to collect dna evidence during a sart exam We'll be able to process that very rapidly, but if the under sheriff could comment on where we're at with that Good afternoon craig wilson We're very interested in getting the sart program for adults return back to santa cruz county We've been in discussions with valley medical center that operates a program there for almost About 18 months now And we're at a point where we believe that in the during the fall of this year That adult services return to santa cruz county through our partner dominican on-site at dominican And we've been working through some MOUs and agreements to to bring this to fruition So with any luck by the end of the year we'll be back in service. That'd be great I mean, I I think people are very sensitive to the fact that That women who have gone through this Violation have have got to go outside the county to get services. I know you care about it you You told me about it and it's great to see those plans Reaching fruition to have it back here in santa cruz county. So thank you for your work there The other thing I wanted to just talk to you about it's not part of your budget, but I know That you have Both been helpful in the community and been a leader in the state on issues involving immigrants when when In february 2017 when there was raids and there was a lot of concern in the community you were right there sending an important message to all members of the community that you that You don't look at the job of the sheriff's department to do immigration Um And I know you you're supported sb 54 was also Incredible leadership position and the you know the president tweeted Just a couple days ago that they're going to try to arrest millions of people And i'm wondering from the perspective of the work that you do Is there anything that we should be doing? Or supporting you in doing When it comes to that kind of threat that's out there in the community Well, I I can say this I Despite the national rhetoric I I believe that all the county chiefs because I meet with them monthly as well as myself are committed to Holding on to the same position that we've been holding on to for a couple years now And that is that the local law enforcement will not entangle themselves with immigration services And so of course we can't prevent them from coming into our jurisdictions and do whatever it is that they do In some regards, I believe it's good to have somebody there So that the local at the local level we can observe what's going on But but we've made some promises that we will stay away from that and and so There will be no change in a local law enforcement's response But beyond that I don't have any great ideas on on what what other things we can do to To prevent any problems here. I I I did get some word out through the news. I believe it was yesterday Because there was some Some fear in the community after hearing the president talk like that And so I I I was able to get on a couple local tv stations to try to reassure the community that we were not going to be participating Or were any of the local police departments? Well, I appreciate that constant Efforts to to share that message and I think the continued partnering with the community so people see The sheriff's department as their partner rather than their their adversary I think goes a long way in terms of building community and let everybody know in the community that they're going to be represented and protected By the sheriff's office. Thank you for your work. I really appreciate it. Thank you Supervisor person. Yeah, I just want to thank you and Your team leadership and and everybody in the department for your continuing service To provide public safety. I think the most important Charge that we have as county supervisors or on any level of government And I know that I thank you time and again, but I can't thank you I want to thank you once more for Opening the service centers in the fifth district in felton and boulder creek. It has been so well received People feel so much better and I think it has You know the and the deputies and the volunteers who staffed that center too So welcoming and I want to thank them the volunteers as well and I think um You were talking about the crime rate going down I think that part of it might be just the visibility per se that you're there in the communities and people think well You know, maybe this is uh, they'll take five minutes and not five hours to get up here to to do something to respond But I think In the patrol, I'm not sure I've had the numbers right, but you're in the high 50s now and in the recession period it was in the High 30s 30s Yeah, and and it's really interesting of we've opened a lot of substations so over the years and I've received the most positive feedback about the boulder creek substation The the folks up there are just so pleased with with having that local presence. It's been a real good relationship with that community Yeah, it's been thank you very much and I think similar to my comments on the facilities for youth offenders the facilities we used to incarcerate adults both women and men We really need to review that because I think what the jail has just 300 19 beds or something and you you've got a population of almost 600 or something at times Don't you over there? Yeah, so there's 319 beds in there and we have today. We have about 380 Last week we had about 420 people in there. So we were about 25 percent Over capacity. Yeah Well, it's something I'm I know that you were going to take a look at and I really do appreciate that and I really As I've said with some other departments here too the dialogue the sheriff that uh, the chief probation officer who's still here to make sure he hears what you have to say I guess but That uh, you're just having you know, really the the best use are facilities and You know, there's the juvenile hall. Maybe it's not being used quite as much I think that just a review of this whole situation needs to be I know it's going to be reviewed But I think it's time to do so but thank you for everything and everybody in your office. All right. Thank you Supervisor caput Thank you I asked the da already. So pretty much Do you agree with the response that he had when you're balancing act that you have to do with Maybe cooperating with ice or Or not, you know, there you have such a tough job When it comes to that because if you turn a blind eye and then that person that they're looking for You know, commits a big crime and then of course The other side would be all the innocent people that are Drawn into all the drama of somebody being Pursued by ice Yeah Yeah, and and really when somebody comes in on serious charges Ultimately, they're going to get deported at the state level, right? They're going to go to state prison eventually and then ice will pick them up once they serve their sentence and so You know, could some could a serious offender slip through the gap somehow possibly but really I think we have a pretty solid system in place here in santa cruse county to prevent that from occurring sure and then the with the jail population and anything that goes wrong you're under A lot of scrutiny from a lot of people and you know How difficult is that for you to you know have to deal with Because you're you're talking about How many inmates were you saying today system-wide with all four facilities? We're at about 550. I know and so we're we're way over capacity our staff We don't get to staff up when we have a hundred people over we still have the same staffing levels And so we're asking Much more of them. They're they've been on mandatory overtime for two years. So they're working a lot of shifts And so, you know, it's a challenge and what what I've found now This is my fifth year as being the sheriff is that we really have very little control As to who comes and goes out of that jail. It's really a function of the courts and the district attorney and the public defender And the probation department and parole We get orders to hold somebody and we hold them if we can release them on electronic monitoring or through sheriff So are we do that? But it's really there's when when it takes five years for a homicide case To go to trial and we have right now. We have 20 of our populations pre-trial two years or more And there's this huge stop gap in the corp system and there's there's continuance after continuance after continuance It it that trickles down to us where we're feeling the impact of of the slow processes in the judicial system But we're feeling it severely in the in the jail and then with the mental health Training, how's that going? On the christen intervention team training. It's going great. It's a it's a really solid program It's something that we partner with county mental health on to develop a 24-hour coast course that is Certified by the police officer standard and training, which is the state commission that oversees all police So it's a certified course And I think our people are learning a lot and we're What they're learning about is when they see behaviors by somebody who's experienced mental illness They're learning how to how to interpret that behavior on what it really means And so it's rather than perceived. It's okay. I just I know what that person is doing I know why they're doing it and I think it's reducing use of force cases. It's and it's reducing Errors that could be made during high stress situations you bet. Yeah that adds You know now you're you're more like you're you have such a Very job you have to be Tough in certain situations and then in other situations you might be able to be like a counselor And that's really rough and then you throw in body cameras With the body cameras is it making your job More difficult because with that It's it's a kind of in a way. It's good for both sides When there's a disagreement But there's no room for oops I made a mistake. Well, I guess with the body camera. You know what I mean Yeah, and I think everybody behaves better when they're on camera And so I I think we're seeing that and if a mistake is made we acknowledge it learn from it and move on Um, but the the body worn camera gives people like myself It gives police administrators the a really good idea of what's going on on some of these cases cases that get questioned by the community and Uh, I can't think of any other job That we ask an employee to put a camera on and film everything that you do. I agree. It's it's a very unique Uh position to be in and yet our staff embraced it and they wanted those cameras because they they see those cameras As protecting them because we're so spread out. We're covering 450 square miles So like right now we have one deputy on duty for every 50 square miles of this county And so a lot of the contacts and a lot of the interactions they have is one on one And so then we get complaints and it's this he said he said he said she said well the camera answers A lot of those questions now that that really protect our staff and shows exactly what occurred. Yeah Uh, you you don't have to have one like when you're going to get a break or having a cup of coffee That's correct. We did not turn those. That's good. Yeah, okay. Thank you So just very briefly um I'm dismayed to hear that people are more grateful and bolder creep me here in Davenport because They're really grateful in Davenport. Uh, and the north coast for the uh for that for the deputy up there It's made a big difference on both some pretty significant crime and then just sort of uh quality of life Low level crime that's going on up there. So Appreciate the efforts and the proactive efforts especially to coordinate with other agencies and try to be a presence up there um, and then the fit I just want to uh Appreciate both the voters you and county health for the fit team We had a population of people that were just falling through the cracks over and over and over again And having a disproportionate impact on our community They're the most challenging population to work with and um, and I think we're seeing some initial good results And I look forward to working with you and because this is new and because this is a uniquely challenging Population don't hesitate to let us know how we can help assist where other resources that would make a difference um In in the efforts that that we can do because it's it's just an important one because one that just Drives people crazy has huge community impacts and people are really suffering it does and and i'm looking forward to to To looking at the asr review and and and the report that they'll generate That might call out some strengths or weaknesses or some areas where we can make some adjustments So I I think we are in about year or excuse me a month five of the fit team So I think once a little time passes by and we can evaluate data and really figure out what it is That's working or not working. Okay, great Now's the time for public comment. I don't know if the probation staff wants to come up and comment on the sheriff's budget All good. Okay Anyone else would like to comment seeing none? I'll bring it back to the board for action Motion by McPherson second by friend all those in favor. Please say I I Oppose that passes unanimously and thank you. Thank you the deputies We will now recess to our continued budget hearings at 1 30 on tuesday june 25th For our last day budget hearings and then and before that we'll have a 9 a.m. Board of Supervisors meeting Which will be our regular meeting on june 25th here at 9 a.m. In the in the in the county chambers
