She said, through attorney Melinda Guzman, that there is a conflict of interest with the law firm and lawyer conducting the probe into the allegations against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It creates a sham investigation,” Guzman said. “It calls into serious question their good faith intentions to investigate these claims, and it makes a mockery of the mission and values of the university system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guzman said that Orrick, the law firm conducting the investigation, has represented the University for years. She also says that former U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag, who is heading the investigation and is a partner at Orrick, represented UC President Napolitano when Napolitano was the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokeswoman Dianne Klein confirmed that the system had hired Orrick in the past, but for a series of bond cases, which she said are unrelated to Katehi’s investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klein said, however, that Haag never represented Napolitano. She said as Secretary, Napolitano’s name was on a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, and as U.S. Attorney, Haag’s name was associated with that lawsuit as well. But Haag and Napolitano have never directly communicated about legal matters, Klein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Melinda Haag was chosen because she’s a former U.S. Attorney, and she works with other assistant U.S. attorneys at the firm,” Klein said. “They have a lot of white collar experience and they know how to handle an investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC Davis Academic Senate concluded that Haag would conduct the investigation fairly in a \u003ca href=\"http://academicsenate.ucdavis.edu/local_resources/docs/whats_new_2016/Executive%20Council%20Resolution%201%20051916.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14-1 vote May 19\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The probe will examine whether Katehi has been truthful about her role in the hiring of consultants to improve the school’s online image and evaluate if there were irregularities surrounding the hiring and compensation her close relatives, Napolitano said in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/latest-news/article74371162.ece/BINARY/UC%20President%20Janet%20Napolitano%20letter%20to%20UC%20Davis%20Chancellor%20Linda%20Katehi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter\u003c/a> to Katehi released by the president’s office following Katehi’s removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guzman said Katehi welcomes an investigation into these allegations, and claimed that an impartial probe would clear her client.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katehi’s husband is a professor at Davis, and her daughter-in-law works as chief of staff for the vice chancellor for student affairs. Her son is a graduate student in epidemiology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said she is concerned about a raise of over $50,000 and a series of promotions the daughter-in-law received over 2 1/2 years while reporting to an administrator who in turn reported to the chancellor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano also expressed concern that the program where Katehi’s son has a paid research position was put under his wife’s supervision and that student fees may have been used inappropriately to finance the move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katehi also came under fire when the Sacramento Bee reported in March that she had accepted a seat on the board of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article69860477.html\">for-profit college company\u003c/a> the federal government is suing and previously earned hundreds of thousands of dollars as a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article64041327.html\">director for a textbook publisher\u003c/a>.

She said, through attorney Melinda Guzman, that there is a conflict of interest with the law firm and lawyer conducting the probe into the allegations against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It creates a sham investigation,” Guzman said. “It calls into serious question their good faith intentions to investigate these claims, and it makes a mockery of the mission and values of the university system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guzman said that Orrick, the law firm conducting the investigation, has represented the University for years. She also says that former U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag, who is heading the investigation and is a partner at Orrick, represented UC President Napolitano when Napolitano was the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She said as Secretary, Napolitano’s name was on a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, and as U.S. Attorney, Haag’s name was associated with that lawsuit as well.

Then scientists can test its saliva.(Courtesy of UC Davis One Health Institute)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As African countries struggle to fight the worst outbreak of Ebola in history, a team at UC Davis is working to identify the next disease like Ebola, before it becomes a pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonna Mazet runs the early warning project, called \u003ca href=\"http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/ohi/predict/index.cfm\">Predict\u003c/a>, based at the School of Veterinary Medicine. Many of today’s emerging diseases come from animals. Scientists believe Ebola, for example, is transmitted when people eat fruit bats that carry the virus. So Mazet is searching around the globe for new viruses carried by animals that humans may not have had much contact with before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Animals and the Viruses They Carry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are countless viruses out there in the world. Some that evolved with humans — so we’re the viruses’ primary hosts — and some that evolved to live in other animals. Sometimes the viruses in other animals are able to jump to humans. Those are called zoonoses. And when a zoonosis makes that jump, scientists call it a spillover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Throughout history, human beings have been dealing with those spillover events,” Mazet says. “Some of those, we really learn how to control.” Rabies and hantavirus, for instance, are zoonoses. So are some strains of E. coli. We’ve learned to vaccinate our dogs, to be careful about rodent control and to wash our hands and food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the viruses like Ebola, MERS, SARS and HIV, all of which originally came from animals. Until we learn how to control those viruses, they seem a lot scarier than a bout of food poisoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Searching for the Next Pandemic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21511\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 357px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/09/predict-sampling-1024x682.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/09/predict-sampling-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Recent UC Davis PhD graduate Tierra Smiley Evans sampling a red-tailed guenon.

(Courtesy of UC Davis One Health Institute)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Learning about emerging threats is part of what Mazet is doing with Predict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to be able to better equip ourselves and the countries that we work with to identify what might be out there that could cause an outbreak like this Ebola outbreak,” Mazet says. “So in order to do that, we need to understand what the hosts are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and the rest of the Predict team, with support from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usaid.gov/\">U.S. Agency for International Development\u003c/a> are searching around the world, looking especially at animals that can live easily around humans — like bats and rodents — and at animals that are closely related to us, like non-human primates. Also of interest are areas where humans are coming into contact with animals in new ways. “We’re more susceptible to an outbreak of disease if our systems are not experienced with that virus or pathogen,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For four years, in 20 different countries, they’ve been testing animals for viruses. So far, they’ve found more than 800, the vast majority of them new to science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preventing the Next Pandemic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21391\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 357px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/09/predictmap-1024x664.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21391\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/09/predictmap-1024x664.png\" alt=\"Predict's map shows where the team has sampled animals -- and what viruses they've found.

They also work with labs and hospitals to help doctors diagnose a broader range of diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of testing people for a specific disease, doctors can use the methods Predict has developed to look for a family of diseases. Not just a specific strain of Ebola, for instance, but for the the whole family of viruses that Ebola is in. “And then we can do some genetic sequencing to say, is that an Ebolavirus that we expect to be in the region,” Mazet says, “or is that another closely related virus that might be the next cause of the next outbreak or pandemic?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to give doctors better tools,” Mazet says. “And to do that we think we need to not be chasing the last flu that was here last year, or the Ebola that was in the neighboring country, we need to be able to look at whatever might be there with a broader eye.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the approach is, essentially, two-pronged: Search the world for new viruses, and improve diagnostics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal is you would know about it ahead of time so you could reduce transmission risk,” Mazet says, “but you would also be able to recognize it super quickly. So instead of taking months like in this Ebola outbreak, and potentially allowing the outbreak to get out of control, you’d be able to diagnose it and shut it down very quickly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Difference Education Makes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emerging diseases can travel as fast and as far as people can, since they can hitch a ride with us on airplanes. That’s what happened with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/sars/about/fs-SARS.html\">SARS outbreak in 2003\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For Ebola, we’re really being vigilant and watching out for it,” Mazet says. “In the decade since the SARS outbreak, we’ve learned a lot.” How to track patients and passengers, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mazet says the knowledge she and others are amassing could someday prove critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds dramatic to say we found these 800 viruses that might cause a pandemic,” Mazet acknowledges. “Likely they’re not going to cause a pandemic, but if we don’t know about them, we aren’t watching for them, we can’t learn about them and we can’t reduce transmission risk.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many of today’s emerging diseases come from animals. Scientists believe Ebola, for example, is transmitted when people eat fruit bats that carry the virus. So Mazet is searching around the globe for new viruses carried by animals that humans may not have had much contact with before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Animals and the Viruses They Carry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are countless viruses out there in the world. Some that evolved with humans — so we’re the viruses’ primary hosts — and some that evolved to live in other animals. Sometimes the viruses in other animals are able to jump to humans. Those are called zoonoses. And when a zoonosis makes that jump, scientists call it a spillover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Throughout history, human beings have been dealing with those spillover events,” Mazet says. “Some of those, we really learn how to control.” Rabies and hantavirus, for instance, are zoonoses. So are some strains of E. coli. We’ve learned to vaccinate our dogs, to be careful about rodent control and to wash our hands and food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Also of interest are areas where humans are coming into contact with animals in new ways. “We’re more susceptible to an outbreak of disease if our systems are not experienced with that virus or pathogen,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For four years, in 20 different countries, they’ve been testing animals for viruses. So far, they’ve found more than 800, the vast majority of them new to science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preventing the Next Pandemic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21391\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 357px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/09/predictmap-1024x664.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21391\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/09/predictmap-1024x664.png\" alt=\"Predict's map shows where the team has sampled animals -- and what viruses they've found.

They also work with labs and hospitals to help doctors diagnose a broader range of diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of testing people for a specific disease, doctors can use the methods Predict has developed to look for a family of diseases. Not just a specific strain of Ebola, for instance, but for the the whole family of viruses that Ebola is in. “And then we can do some genetic sequencing to say, is that an Ebolavirus that we expect to be in the region,” Mazet says, “or is that another closely related virus that might be the next cause of the next outbreak or pandemic?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to give doctors better tools,” Mazet says. “And to do that we think we need to not be chasing the last flu that was here last year, or the Ebola that was in the neighboring country, we need to be able to look at whatever might be there with a broader eye.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the approach is, essentially, two-pronged: Search the world for new viruses, and improve diagnostics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal is you would know about it ahead of time so you could reduce transmission risk,” Mazet says, “but you would also be able to recognize it super quickly. So instead of taking months like in this Ebola outbreak, and potentially allowing the outbreak to get out of control, you’d be able to diagnose it and shut it down very quickly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Difference Education Makes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emerging diseases can travel as fast and as far as people can, since they can hitch a ride with us on airplanes. That’s what happened with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/sars/about/fs-SARS.html\">SARS outbreak in 2003\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For Ebola, we’re really being vigilant and watching out for it,” Mazet says. “In the decade since the SARS outbreak, we’ve learned a lot.” How to track patients and passengers, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mazet says the knowledge she and others are amassing could someday prove critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds dramatic to say we found these 800 viruses that might cause a pandemic,” Mazet acknowledges. “Likely they’re not going to cause a pandemic, but if we don’t know about them, we aren’t watching for them, we can’t learn about them and we can’t reduce transmission risk.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

As Lauren Sommer of KQED Science \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/30/rim-fire-forest-thinning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported recently\u003c/a>, scientists are looking at more than 400 square miles of charred Sierra Nevada forest to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immediate reality of the fire’s aftermath is stark. Researchers at the \u003ca href=\"https://watershed.ucdavis.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences\u003c/a> have been exploring what they call “the apocalyptic terrain” left behind by the fire, \u003ca href=\"http://www.fire.ca.gov/communications/downloads/fact_sheets/20LACRES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the third-largest fire\u003c/a> in the state since modern record-keeping began in the 1930s.

It is frequently being used during Occupy protests nationwide. People who have been sprayed say that it hurts, but what exactly are the health effects? And what’s the best way to treat it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pepper spray derives from a chemical found in peppers, called capsaicin. Deborah Blum writes about the science of pepper spray in her blog \u003ca title=\"Speakeasy Science: Pepper Spray\" href=\"http://blogs.plos.org/speakeasyscience/2011/11/20/about-pepper-spray/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speakeasy Science\u003c/a>. She cites a 2004 study, \u003ca title=\"Pepper spray study\" href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20000817004624/http://www.ncmedicaljournal.com/Smith-OK.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Health Hazards of Pepper Spray\u003c/a>, which found that high doses of some of the chemicals in pepper spray can produce respiratory, cardiac and neurologic problems, and even death. Blum writes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Research tells us that pepper spray acts as a potent inflammatory agent. It amplifies allergic sensitivities, it irritates and damages eyes, membranes, bronchial airways, the stomach lining –- basically what it touches. It works by causing pain – and, as we know, pain is the body warning us of an injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, these are short-term effects. Pepper spray, for instance, induces a burning sensation in the eyes in part by damaging cells in the outer layer of the cornea. Usually, the body repairs this kind of injury fairly neatly. But with repeated exposures, studies find, there can be permanent damage to the cornea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more worrisome effects have to do with inhalation – and by some reports, California university police officers deliberately put [pepper] spray down protestors throats. Capsaicins inflame the airways, causing swelling and restriction. And this means that pepper sprays pose a genuine risk to people with asthma and other respiratory conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nDavid Busco and his friends found that the kind of dishwasher soap they used to remove the pepper spray worked.

UC Davis student David Busco was one of the students sprayed that day, saying the pain felt like “thousands of pieces of glass shooting into your eyes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Busco says the pepper spray covered his face and mouth, meaning he could not avoid inhaling it unless he stopped breathing. Concerned students poured bottled water over him, but this only exacerbated the effects by further spreading the spray around his face and body. Busco says friends soon carried him to the nearest house and, after a quick Google search about pepper spray removal, washed him with dishwasher soap in the shower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pepper spray is legal for use in most states by anyone over age 18 who is not a convicted felon. It is frequently being used during Occupy protests nationwide. People who have been sprayed say that it hurts, but what exactly are the health effects? And what’s the best way to treat it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pepper spray derives from a chemical found in peppers, called capsaicin. Deborah Blum writes about the science of pepper spray in her blog \u003ca title=\"Speakeasy Science: Pepper Spray\" href=\"http://blogs.plos.org/speakeasyscience/2011/11/20/about-pepper-spray/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speakeasy Science\u003c/a>. She cites a 2004 study, \u003ca title=\"Pepper spray study\" href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20000817004624/http://www.ncmedicaljournal.com/Smith-OK.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Health Hazards of Pepper Spray\u003c/a>, which found that high doses of some of the chemicals in pepper spray can produce respiratory, cardiac and neurologic problems, and even death. Blum writes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Research tells us that pepper spray acts as a potent inflammatory agent. It amplifies allergic sensitivities, it irritates and damages eyes, membranes, bronchial airways, the stomach lining –- basically what it touches. It works by causing pain – and, as we know, pain is the body warning us of an injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, these are short-term effects. Pepper spray, for instance, induces a burning sensation in the eyes in part by damaging cells in the outer layer of the cornea. Usually, the body repairs this kind of injury fairly neatly. But with repeated exposures, studies find, there can be permanent damage to the cornea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more worrisome effects have to do with inhalation – and by some reports, California university police officers deliberately put [pepper] spray down protestors throats. Capsaicins inflame the airways, causing swelling and restriction. And this means that pepper sprays pose a genuine risk to people with asthma and other respiratory conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nDavid Busco and his friends found that the kind of dishwasher soap they used to remove the pepper spray worked. What a person should \u003cem>not\u003c/em> do is use an \u003ca href=\"http://police.berkeley.edu/programsandservices/campus_safety/guidelines.html#ds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oil-based soap\u003c/a> — that makes the chemicals stick to the skin even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
