SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Law enforcement agencies in San Diego County have a new tool in the fight against child predators: Southern California’s first electronics-sniffing dog. Willow, a 2-year-old yellow Labrador, is trained to sniff out the chemical used to coat all kinds of electronic storage media, including microSD cards, thumb drives, hard drives, cell phones and tablets.She works in partnership with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC), the San Diego Police Department and the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.“Our whole goal with ICAC is to save kids,” said Willow’s handler Ron Burleson. “If they’ve got any homemade images, there’s a kid out there that needs to be rescued, needs to be found. So that can make all the difference in the world when we can find that hidden media.”RELATED: Dog eats marijuana, develops 'scary' symptomsK9s have a long history in law enforcement as drug, arson and bomb-sniffing dogs, but this sniffing specialty has only been around since 2012, when Connecticut State Police trained the world’s first electronic storage detection K9. The breakthrough came after Connecticut State Police chemist Dr. Jack Hubball discovered that all media with a circuit board -- like hard drives, thumb drives and SD cards -- is covered with a chemical to prevent overheating called triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO). Once trained, dogs will sniff out the chemical for a reward. In Willow’s case, she gets three cups of food a day, and only after she sniffs out a device.“Two or three times a day, I’m hiding storage media and then we’re training, we’re working,” said Burleson. “That’s how she gets fed.”RELATED: 10news viewer helps burglary victim reunite with stolen puppyWillow spent four months training with Todd Jordan, whose first electronics detection dog, Bear, made a key discovery in the child sex crimes case against former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle.Willow has been on the job in San Diego County since November and took part in her first local search a few weeks ago at the home of a registered sex offender.“And we searched the house and she was able to find a cell phone that had been missed previously during the search,” Burleson said.Although Willow has a narrow specialty, Burleson said she’ll be busy. San Diego ICAC will have about 2,000 cases this year, he said.When she’s not working, Willow lives with Burleson. “I’ve had many requests that the next time any friends or family lose their cell phone, they want me to bring Willow over,” he said.The funding to buy Willow, who cost about ,000, came from the San Diego Police Foundation through an anonymous donor, Burleson said. 2667

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Lifeguards in Pacific Beach are frustrated they being forced to spend less time monitoring the water and more time monitoring the trash left on their station.Not only do lifeguards at the station at the end of Grand Ave. has seen trash thrown onto the roof, clothing left behind, and even trash cans tossed on top of its flag pole."Cans, plastic bags, clothes, anything really that can be found on the boardwalk," says San Diego Lifeguard Sgt. Kerry Brown. "It's become a secondary job duty that takes away from our priorities."RELATED: New Pacific Beach apartment complex may come with sticker shockBrown says lifeguards have to get up to the roof several times a week to clean off trash.They haven't flow the American flag at the station because of past vandalized the flag pole, in one instance raising trash cans on the pole's ropes, according to Brown.Brown said for now, they're trying to make sure their station is kept clear of trash as best they can, but it shouldn't come at the cost of their resources.RELATED: Pacific Beach business owner responds to violent homeless confrontation"Visitors come to the beach and they see trash on our roof and a flag we can't fly, it's a little bit embarrassing," Brown added.Lifeguards encourage anyone who sees anything suspicious around the lifeguard tower to call police. Anyone who notices vandalism can report it on the city's Get It Done mobile app. 1429

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Marty Coyne snags the same prime spot at Campland on the Bay every Fourth of July weekend.He parks his massive RV right across from the water."Wouldn't trade it in for any other place to stay in the summer," he said Friday. "It's beautiful here, safe here, the grandkids can run free and have a great time."This year - however - the celebration is quite a bit different - due the outbreak of Covid 19.Campland on the Bay, on Mission Bay's north end, is like many hotels along San Diego's coastline. It's not totally booked.Elvin Lai, who owns the Ocean Park Inn in Pacific Beach, said he was booked in the high 60 percents at a time when the hotel is usually full. "It doesn't mean that I won't get last minute bookings but we're used to being sold out for the month of July months in advance, so it's different."On Friday at the campland, the mood was festive, but the activities were limited - the skate park and basketball courts were taped off. There won't be any bands for outdoor entertainment, and indoor dining is disallowed.Campland on the Bay also placed yellow cones on the beach to give people a clear path to the water. It's also requiring all tents to be spaced out by eight feet. Masks are required in public areas, and rangers are carrying around extra.Still, not every visitor was wearing a mask."Everybody doesn't follow it," said Barry Homer, who is staying on the grounds with his wife Cindy. "It'a always a problem everywhere in the world, for lots of reasons."Hotels and Campland are still open to last minute reservations."We anticipate it's going to be be like this no more than today and tomorrow, and then it'll go down to quiet as people go back to their normal lives," said Ahmed Aitlahcen, the campland's general manafger.The Auto Club predicts 107 million residents of the Pacific Coastal states will take trips this summer. That's down 17 percent from 2019. 1916

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — It’s something that has never happened before and could have long-lasting political impacts.Experts are projecting California will lose at least one congressional seat, and possibly two, once the 2020 Census numbers are finalized. The Census officially ended last week.If the outside projections are correct, it would be the first time ever that California’s political voice will shrink, and San Diego County is one of the most likely regions to have its representation diminish, according to Douglas Johnson, a researcher at the Rose Institute at Claremont McKenna College.Fewer House seats will affect all Californians, Johnson said, when big issues go before Congress.“That would mean we have two less votes in D.C. when there are votes on which state should get transportation dollars or what should be water policy or anything like that,” Johnson said.It also means California could drop from 55 votes to 53 in the Electoral College, giving the Golden State less influence in future presidential elections.When the squiggly congressional maps get redrawn, Johnson says it’s easy to predict which region will lose the first House seat: eastern Los Angeles County.“We can see that area is way short of the population for where it should be to justify the number of seats it has,” he said.Predicting the second seat on the hypothetical chopping block is trickier, he said.It could get carved out of the agriculture-rich Central Valley. But Johnson thinks the more likely scenario is that a seat in Northern San Diego County could be absorbed, in an area covering Solana Beach, Vista, Carlsbad, Oceanside and into southern Orange County.“The district in the middle is the 49th, and so it's the most likely to get squeezed,” he said.Ultimately, it will be up to the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to redraw the lines, a group created in 2010.They come up with crazy shapes because each district must have an equal population -- within one person -- based on interpretation from the Supreme Court. There are also federal requirements under the Voting Rights Act to group minorities together to ensure they have representation.Congressman Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) represents the 49th District.“It's far too early to discuss any changes to the District,” Levin said in a statement.There are still many unknowns. The latest data, from a company called ESRI, came from before the pandemic and showed California holding on to the second seat by a margin of less than 3,300 people.“Keep in mind, talking about 3,000 people in the context of a 40-million population estimate is a tiny, tiny fraction,” Johnson said. “The slightest undercount from the Census could trip us into losing that second seat.”The two states in line to take the seat are Arizona and Minnesota.Johnson said it’s hard to gauge how the pandemic could affect the count because the Census is a zero-sum game: it only matters if states are affected disproportionately.Both California and Arizona have similar “hard to reach” demographic groups, but Minnesota does not.“That's actually why I think Minnesota is a bigger threat to take our seat,” Johnson said.Minnesota had the highest self-response rate in the country, meaning Census workers had fewer people to find through follow-up efforts.California’s new Congressional districts will be in place for the elections in 2022. 3389

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — In the race for a coronavirus vaccine, scientists often say we need more than one winner.That’s in part because different vaccines use different strategies to provoke the immune system, and each strategy has different strengths.Take the inactivated virus vaccine, an approach currently used in the vaccine against the poliovirus. In this approach, scientists take a live virus, kill it with chemicals or heat, and then introduce that viral corpse into a person.There are three groups in the final phase of human trials using inactivated coronavirus, primarily in China, according to a tracker from the Milken Institute.“The immune system can tell the difference between something that's a real threat and something that's not a threat, and so if you get injected with a dead virus your immune system has the tendency to not pay a lot of attention to that,” said Dr. Shane Crotty of the La Jolla Institute for Immunology.The downside of the inactivated virus approach is that it only elicits two out of the three of the parts of the immune system, Dr. Crotty said. It’s capable of producing antibodies and helper T-cells, but not killer T-cells.The modern take on the inactivated virus approach is called a viral vector vaccine.In this strategy, scientists combine elements of the coronavirus with a common cold virus called an adenovirus that won’t make you sick. Since the virus is alive, it can elicit all three kinds of immune responses, Dr. Crotty said.“There are no licensed vaccines right now that use that strategy, but there are all kinds of vaccine trials that have been done around the world with those types [of vaccines] showing that they're straightforward to manufacture. They're very safe,” he said.The University of Oxford is testing a viral vector vaccine for COVID-19 in a Phase 3 clinical trial.Then there are subunit vaccines. These include just a section -- or subunit -- of the virus’ protein.UC San Diego is working on a coronavirus candidate vaccine using this approach.There are subunit vaccines currently on the market for tetanus and other viruses.“Working with proteins is more challenging, just from a laboratory and manufacturing perspective,” Dr. Crotty said.Enter the next phase of vaccine development. Instead of using the virus itself or fragments of it, Inovio Pharmaceuticals is working on a vaccine strategy using just the virus’ genetic information.DNA-based vaccines simply introduce a genetically engineered blueprint of the virus into a person, and the cells do the rest.“Some people get confused about this. They think it’s a genetic vaccine that changes their DNA and becomes part of them, and that’s definitely not the case.” Dr. Crotty said. “They don’t become part of you. Your body chews them up.”Researchers have been working on DNA-based vaccines for about 20 years, Crotty said, but none are currently licensed for use.San Diego-based Arcturus Therapeutics is using an RNA-based approach, along with other companies like Pfizer and Moderna that have entered Phase 3 trials.Messenger RNA reads the DNA instructions and helps translate them into proteins.Dr. Crotty said the DNA and RNA approaches have similar drawbacks and benefits: they’ve never been approved for us, but both can be developed rapidly because they don’t require access to the physical virus.Around the world, there are more than 200 coronavirus vaccines currently in development, according to the Milken Institute. 3459
