The officers followed Martinez for about a minute, and he circled back to his friend’s house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez exited the car and ran toward the house, while the three officers got out of their vehicle and ran after him, the suit says. Mejia pulled out his Taser and hit Martinez in the upper left buttock with one of the probes, but Martinez had ducked under the partially opened garage door, where he had stumbled and was sitting on the ground.

"content": "\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/12/soundshroud/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent TechCrunch report\u003c/a>, SoundCloud has only enough funding to last through the beginning of October. And while the official word from its PR team is that the popular streaming service is fully funded through the end of the fourth quarter, it’s evident that SoundCloud hasn’t been successful at creating a profitable business model. The Berlin-based company recently \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2017/07/06/soundcloud-cuts-173-jobs-shutters-san-francisco-and-london-offices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laid off 40 percent of its staff and closed its London and San Francisco offices\u003c/a>, leaving users and staff doubting the platform’s longevity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoundCloud’s primary appeal lies in its 150 million-plus user-uploaded songs, DJ mixes, and podcasts otherwise unavailable on mainstream streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, and Apple Music. Whereas artists must pay digital distributors like \u003ca href=\"https://www.mondotunes.com/%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MondoTunes (formerly TuneCore)\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://members.cdbaby.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CD Baby\u003c/a> to get their music onto these streaming giants, on SoundCloud, musicians upload their work for free. Songs on SoundCloud have the potential to go viral thanks to its repost feature — which works the same way retweets do on Twitter — making it possible for independent artists to attract audiences without record deals, publicists, or placements on popular playlists. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SoundCloud was this phenomenon that allowed you to get discovered,” says Evangeline Elder, the manager of Richmond singer Rayana Jay. “That’s where a lot of curators were getting their insights from on who’s the next artist to possibly to blow up or who’s emerging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12928309\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-800x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12928309\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-800x466.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-768x447.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-1020x594.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-1920x1118.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-1180x687.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-960x559.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-240x140.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-375x218.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-520x303.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rayana Jay’s “Magic” accumulated a quarter-million listens in just two weeks on SoundCloud. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Vigil)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Thanks to SoundCloud’s social sharing functions, previously unheard-of artists from niche regional scenes, like Philadelphia’s Lil Uzi Vert and South Florida’s Kodak Black, have risen to mainstream fame. The term “\u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/look-at-me-the-noisy-soundcloud-revolution-changing-rap-w485101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoundCloud rap\u003c/a>” is now used — though, more often than not, in a derogatory or tongue-in-cheek way — to describe the alternative, youthful rap style that flourishes on the platform (a scene that, according to critics, has become derivative of the platform’s most successful songs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now, if SoundCloud can’t recover after all these reports I’m seeing, it’s going to mean a lot for artists who don’t have infrastructure or a management team or publicists,” Elder continues, adding that viral hits on the app, like Xxxtentacion’s “Look At Me,” have made careers almost overnight.

Oakland DJ Albert Luera, aka DJ Neto, compares the SoundCloud phenomenon to what happened to MySpace in the late 2000s, when the social network lost most of its users after becoming flooded with ads. As a result, many of the music subcultures that flourished on MySpace — such as the “bloghouse” electronic scene adjacent to Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records or the Bay Area’s hyphy movement — faded into obscurity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luera described his recent experience of poring over obscure MySpace profiles to find old hyphy songs he remembered from a decade ago. “If the loss of MySpace is any indication about how the loss of SoundCloud is gonna go, it was impossible to find those songs in any sort of quality. It was like googling lyrics and trying to find some message board that was gonna have it,” he says, adding that he fears that much of the music on SoundCloud will similarly be lost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sela Oner, a Vallejo producer who once compiled several volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/644-footworks-forgotten-archives-are-making-the-best-compilations-youve-never-heard/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forgotten 2000s Chicago footwork music by scouring the remains of MySpace\u003c/a>, says that the potential demise of SoundCloud might not be such a bad thing. In his view, some artists have gotten too stuck in the “SoundCloud rap” formula. “It’s affected music a lot, that’s why things sounds the same. So if SoundCloud dies, I think we kind of need that refresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Music is always changing, the way we consume media is always changing,” says Thizzler’s Tyrese Johnson. “If SoundCloud were to die today, it would suck, but it wouldn’t be the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"> \u003c/p>\n\n",

And while the official word from its PR team is that the popular streaming service is fully funded through the end of the fourth quarter, it’s evident that SoundCloud hasn’t been successful at creating a profitable business model. The Berlin-based company recently \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2017/07/06/soundcloud-cuts-173-jobs-shutters-san-francisco-and-london-offices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laid off 40 percent of its staff and closed its London and San Francisco offices\u003c/a>, leaving users and staff doubting the platform’s longevity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoundCloud’s primary appeal lies in its 150 million-plus user-uploaded songs, DJ mixes, and podcasts otherwise unavailable on mainstream streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, and Apple Music. Whereas artists must pay digital distributors like \u003ca href=\"https://www.mondotunes.com/%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MondoTunes (formerly TuneCore)\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://members.cdbaby.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CD Baby\u003c/a> to get their music onto these streaming giants, on SoundCloud, musicians upload their work for free. Songs on SoundCloud have the potential to go viral thanks to its repost feature — which works the same way retweets do on Twitter — making it possible for independent artists to attract audiences without record deals, publicists, or placements on popular playlists. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SoundCloud was this phenomenon that allowed you to get discovered,” says Evangeline Elder, the manager of Richmond singer Rayana Jay. “That’s where a lot of curators were getting their insights from on who’s the next artist to possibly to blow up or who’s emerging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12928309\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-800x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12928309\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-800x466.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-768x447.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-1020x594.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-1920x1118.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-1180x687.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-960x559.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-240x140.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-375x218.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671-520x303.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/Rayana-Jay-2017-3-by-Vanessa-Vigil-e1490033421671.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rayana Jay’s “Magic” accumulated a quarter-million listens in just two weeks on SoundCloud. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Vigil)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Thanks to SoundCloud’s social sharing functions, previously unheard-of artists from niche regional scenes, like Philadelphia’s Lil Uzi Vert and South Florida’s Kodak Black, have risen to mainstream fame.

In either case, the platform’s poor financial standing and declining listenership raises important questions about what will happen when the defining music platform of this decade loses its relevance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Artists] need to take advantage of the changing market,” says Oakland rapper Beejus. “If you’re not putting yourself in a position where you’re able to own your rights where you can upload your music to streaming sites [like Spotify,] which I think will be the next step of this, then you need to reevaluate what you’re doing and kind of step it up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13741653\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-1020x1020.jpg\" alt=\"DJ Neto is among those who draw a parallel between SoundCloud and MySpace.\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13741653\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-800x800.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-768x768.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-960x960.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-240x240.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-375x375.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-520x520.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-150x150.jpg 150w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">DJ Neto is among those who draw a parallel between SoundCloud and MySpace. \u003ccite>(Chris Sanchez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, other artists question what will happen to the myriad DIY music subcultures on SoundCloud if the platform fails to retain its listeners. Oakland DJ Albert Luera, aka DJ Neto, compares the SoundCloud phenomenon to what happened to MySpace in the late 2000s, when the social network lost most of its users after becoming flooded with ads. As a result, many of the music subcultures that flourished on MySpace — such as the “bloghouse” electronic scene adjacent to Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records or the Bay Area’s hyphy movement — faded into obscurity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luera described his recent experience of poring over obscure MySpace profiles to find old hyphy songs he remembered from a decade ago. “If the loss of MySpace is any indication about how the loss of SoundCloud is gonna go, it was impossible to find those songs in any sort of quality. It was like googling lyrics and trying to find some message board that was gonna have it,” he says, adding that he fears that much of the music on SoundCloud will similarly be lost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sela Oner, a Vallejo producer who once compiled several volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/644-footworks-forgotten-archives-are-making-the-best-compilations-youve-never-heard/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forgotten 2000s Chicago footwork music by scouring the remains of MySpace\u003c/a>, says that the potential demise of SoundCloud might not be such a bad thing. In his view, some artists have gotten too stuck in the “SoundCloud rap” formula. “It’s affected music a lot, that’s why things sounds the same. So if SoundCloud dies, I think we kind of need that refresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Music is always changing, the way we consume media is always changing,” says Thizzler’s Tyrese Johnson. “If SoundCloud were to die today, it would suck, but it wouldn’t be the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At least one group is looking at trying to make an impact with the area’s homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully these people won’t just disappear and say, ‘Oh, I had a class in 2017, and it was interesting,’” Bruguera says of her students. “Hopefully they will start practicing \u003cem>arte útil\u003c/em> and putting their knowledge into practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe they’ll even get arrested for their art one day, too.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Are you denying them the ability to request asylum in the United States?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another border agent insists the family contact Mexican authorities. She says U.S. officials are understaffed and overwhelmed by the number of asylum seekers.

Or, more recently, that Donald Trump has eliminated asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These things are simply untrue,\" says Melissa Crow, legal director at the D.C.-based American Immigration Council. Her group and others have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, challenging those alleged practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All of these tactics serve to deny bona fide asylum seekers the opportunity to pursue their claims,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz, from Customs and Border Protection, declined to comment on the litigation.

Historically, about three-quarters of cases have been in the state’s heavily agricultural San Joaquin Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fungal infection, known as coccidioidomycosis, or “cocci,” is most common in the southern portion of the Valley and along the Central Coast of California. State health officials say they’re not sure what caused the recent increase, the largest since 2011, but “climatic and environmental factors” could have increased the risk of exposure to the airborne spores that cause the disease, according to the California Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Climatologists and other researchers have theorized that intensified \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2017GL073524/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dust storms\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/valley-fever-on-the-rise-in-us-southwest/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heat waves\u003c/a> linked to global warming can fuel Valley Fever infection. Human activities that stir dust into the air, such as farming and construction, also contribute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An influx of new people in areas where the fungus is most prevalent, along with better reporting of the disease, also may have contributed to the increase, according to the public health department, which has tracked Valley Fever since 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-1h7jK\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/1h7jK/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" oallowfullscreen=\"oallowfullscreen\" msallowfullscreen=\"msallowfullscreen\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/coccidioidomycosis/statistics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more than 11,000 cases\u003c/a> of Valley Fever were reported in 2015, the latest year for which data are available, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That was up from 8,232 cases the previous year. Arizona and California account for the vast majority of cases. In 2015, Arizona had 7,622 cases, the most of any state. California had the second-highest number, with 3,053. Nevada, Utah and New Mexico, among other states, had smaller numbers of Valley Fever cases in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from Valley Fever averaged 200 a year from 1990 to 2008, according to the CDC. And since 1997, the number of deaths has changed very little from year to year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health does not regularly track Valley Fever. But it said a review of death certificates found that 1,098 people in the state died of the disease from 2000 to 2013. The state’s overall incidence rate of Valley Fever in 2016, 13.7 per 100,000 people, was up sharply from the 2015 rate of 8 per 100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re horrified but not surprised when the cases increase,” said Sandra Larson, former executive director of the Valley Fever Americas Foundation, who lives just outside Bakersfield, in the San Joaquin Valley. “We’re known as endemic for Valley Fever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People contract the illness by breathing in tiny spores stirred up from dusty soil. The illness echoes the flu in its symptoms, which can include cough, severe fatigue, fever, headaches and rashes. In many cases, people recover on their own. But the infection can also spread beyond the lungs into other parts of the body, including joints, reproductive organs and teeth.

That was up from 8,232 cases the previous year. Arizona and California account for the vast majority of cases. In 2015, Arizona had 7,622 cases, the most of any state. California had the second-highest number, with 3,053. Nevada, Utah and New Mexico, among other states, had smaller numbers of Valley Fever cases in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from Valley Fever averaged 200 a year from 1990 to 2008, according to the CDC. And since 1997, the number of deaths has changed very little from year to year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health does not regularly track Valley Fever. But it said a review of death certificates found that 1,098 people in the state died of the disease from 2000 to 2013. The state’s overall incidence rate of Valley Fever in 2016, 13.7 per 100,000 people, was up sharply from the 2015 rate of 8 per 100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re horrified but not surprised when the cases increase,” said Sandra Larson, former executive director of the Valley Fever Americas Foundation, who lives just outside Bakersfield, in the San Joaquin Valley. “We’re known as endemic for Valley Fever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People contract the illness by breathing in tiny spores stirred up from dusty soil. The illness echoes the flu in its symptoms, which can include cough, severe fatigue, fever, headaches and rashes. In many cases, people recover on their own. But the infection can also spread beyond the lungs into other parts of the body, including joints, reproductive organs and teeth. In rare cases it can lead to hospitalization, and even death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kern County, an agricultural area that encompasses Bakersfield and stretches into the Mojave Desert, had the highest number of cases in 2016, with about 40 percent of the statewide total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-WvZvn\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/WvZvn/1/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" oallowfullscreen=\"oallowfullscreen\" msallowfullscreen=\"msallowfullscreen\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Royce Johnson, chief of infectious diseases at Kern Medical Center, said people have long tried to understand what causes spikes in Valley Fever, but with little success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are so many variables — temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind — you have to have a pretty fancy computer model to try to study this,” said Johnson, who has been treating Valley Fever since 1975.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the number of California cases last year were the highest on record, Johnson said, he doubts it was the worst year for “cocci” in history.

We have pediatrics, internal medicine, family practice, women's health and dental. We also have a very large WIC — \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/women-infants-and-children-wic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Women, Infants, and Children\u003c/a> —\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> program. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: Can you tell me a little bit about your own background and how you ended up as the CEO of Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>A:\u003c/strong> This is a movement that goes back to the civil rights movement. So we have a large number of people who have been in this work for a long time. I'm relatively new to the community health center world. I have about 16 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I got here because having lived in Mexico as a younger man, I saw a very desperate need for health care. I wanted to actually have my own mobile clinic that would go into the rural areas of Florida to deliver health care, like a bus that was outfitted. And very long story short, I decided that if I was going to raise money to do that I’d have to get an undergraduate degree in that area. I sort of slipstreamed into health administration in Florida. Then I moved to Texas, where I was introduced in 2002 to the community health center model, and fell in love with it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Austin, Texas, I ran the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://communitycaretx.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">community health centers\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for about 10 years. I learned that this is really important, rewarding work because we get to impact the health outcomes of the community and see people be well. A lot of people will walk around with their diabetes out of control or slight depression or a toothache. And the fact that we're able to address that in a systematic way, to me is very exciting. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: Coming from Texas to a state like California, what are some of the things you've noticed about how health care is different at a community clinic level? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>A:\u003c/strong> Similar to Travis County [where Austin, Texas, is located], Alameda County is also very progressive.

We have pediatrics, internal medicine, family practice, women's health and dental. We also have a very large WIC — \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/women-infants-and-children-wic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Women, Infants, and Children\u003c/a> —\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> program. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: Can you tell me a little bit about your own background and how you ended up as the CEO of Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>A:\u003c/strong> This is a movement that goes back to the civil rights movement. So we have a large number of people who have been in this work for a long time. I'm relatively new to the community health center world. I have about 16 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I got here because having lived in Mexico as a younger man, I saw a very desperate need for health care. I wanted to actually have my own mobile clinic that would go into the rural areas of Florida to deliver health care, like a bus that was outfitted. And very long story short, I decided that if I was going to raise money to do that I’d have to get an undergraduate degree in that area. I sort of slipstreamed into health administration in Florida. Then I moved to Texas, where I was introduced in 2002 to the community health center model, and fell in love with it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Austin, Texas, I ran the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://communitycaretx.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">community health centers\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for about 10 years. I learned that this is really important, rewarding work because we get to impact the health outcomes of the community and see people be well. A lot of people will walk around with their diabetes out of control or slight depression or a toothache. And the fact that we're able to address that in a systematic way, to me is very exciting. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Q: Coming from Texas to a state like California, what are some of the things you've noticed about how health care is different at a community clinic level? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>A:\u003c/strong> Similar to Travis County [where Austin, Texas, is located], Alameda County is also very progressive. And the community’s very committed to serving people even without documentation, because there is a return on investment when you do that.
