  • Resources for Those with Skin and Hair Disorders
    Resources for those with Skin and Hair Disorders Skin Picking Disorder is a serious and poorly understood problem. People who suffer from Skin Picking Disorder repetitively touch, rub, scratch, pick at or dig into their skin, often in an attempt to remove small irregularities or perceived imperfections. This behavior may result in skin discoloration or scarring. In more serious cases, severe tissue damage and visible disfigurement can result. Hair Pulling Disorder, biting the insides of the cheeks, and severe nail biting can also occur. Most people pick their skin to some degree. Occasional picking at cuticles, acne, scabs, calluses or other skin irregularities is a very common human behavior. It also is not unusual for skin picking to actually become a problem, whether temporary or chronic. Skin Picking Disorder may develop at any age. How the disorder progresses depends on many factors, including the stresses in a person’s life, and whether or not the person seeks and finds appropriate treatment. In addition to reviewing these materials, you should talk to your doctor about whether counseling (also sometimes called psychotherapy) and/or a medication evaluation might be helpful. Counseling Services • To access individual or family counseling using your health insurance benefits, call the “mental health benefits” number on your insurance card for referral to providers who accept your insurance. You can also access the website for your behavioral health insurance carrier to search for providers in your area and with the specialties you require. • If you are covered by Medi-Cal and you live in Sacramento County, contact the Mental Health Access Team at 916-875-1055 to access counseling or psychiatry services.

I'm Dr. Georges Benjamin, the executive director of the American Public Health Association. This first webinar in our Advancing Racial Equity series is incredibly timely. Inequities within the COVID-19 pandemic and the uprising over police violence underscore racism as an ongoing public health crisis that needs our attention now.

  • Played by the Mighty Wurlitzer the Press, the CIA, and the Subversion of Truth
    CHAPTER 6 Played by the Mighty Wurlitzer The Press, the CIA, and the Subversion of Truth Brian Covert A journalist in the US specializing in national security issues, Ken Dilanian, found himself under the harsh glare of the media spotlight in September 2014, when it was revealed that he had been collabo- rating with press officers of the United States government’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the shaping and publishing of his news stories for the Los Angeles Times, one of the most influential daily newspapers in the nation. An exposé by the Intercept online magazine showed how, in pri- vate e-mail messages to CIA public affairs staff, Dilanian had not only shared entire drafts of his stories with the agency prior to publication, but had also offered to write up for the CIA on at least one occasion a story on controversial US drone strikes overseas that would be “reas- suring to the public” and “a good opportunity” for the CIA to put its spin on the issue.1 And Dilanian was not alone. Other e-mail messages, though heavily redacted by the CIA, showed that reporters from other major US news organizations likewise had cooperative relationships with the agency. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean that same month, a veteran journalist in Germany was blowing the whistle on his own profes- sion. Udo Ulfkotte, a former news editor with the Frankfurter Allge- meine Zeitung, one of the largest newspapers in Germany, revealed how he had cooperated over the years with the German Federal Intel- ligence Service and the CIA itself in the planting
