DENVER – The Facebook data of 136,000 Coloradans obtained by British data firm Cambridge Analytica is still floating around despite claims it was destroyed, according to a Wednesday report from U.K.-based Channel 4 News. But the man who was in charge of the Colorado group that used the firm during the 2014 election says neither he nor the group possesses the data.Channel 4 News says its reporters had reviewed the data, which its report said came from a Cambridge Analytica source. The report says the data confirms details on the thousands of Colorado residents affected, as well as “each person’s personality and psychological profile.”The reporter who presented the story spoke with several Colorado residents whose data was contained within the list, which was in possession of Channel 4’s source, according to a Channel 4 employee who agreed to speak with Scripps station KMGH in Denver about the story on the condition they not be named.“The data is also known to have been passed around using generic, non-corporate email systems, outside of the servers of Cambridge Analytica, and linked company SCL,” the report states.The Channel 4 employee says the data appears to have been widely shared in the past.Channel 4 verified that the 2014 data it reviewed is authentic and came, in part, from a Cambridge University researcher, Dr. Aleksandr Kogan. Kogan built an app in which he used the data in accordance with Facebook’s rules at the time, but he originally said he was using the data only for academic purposes before teaming up with Cambridge Analytica. Facebook claims that by additionally using it for political purposes, Cambridge Analytica violated the social networking site's terms of service.Both Facebook and Cambridge Analytica claimed that the British data firm deleted the data in 2015, but the Channel 4 report calls that claim into question.A Cambridge spokesperson told Channel 4 that it “deleted all GSR data and took appropriate steps to ensure that any copies of the data were deleted…It is untrue that we failed to take appropriate measures to ensure that GSR data were deleted.”Facebook has since launched an investigation to determine whether or not Cambridge indeed deleted the data and has suspended the company. The Channel 4 employee KMGH spoke with said Colorado was one of 11 U.S. states Cambridge Analytica scraped data from in attempts to profile prospective voters.Former Senate Majority Fund leader says Cambridge kept data closely guardedKMGH reported over the past week and a half that the Republican-backed Senate Majority Fund used two Colorado political nonprofits, Concerned Citizens for Colorado and Centennial Coalition, to pay Cambridge Analytica about 0,000 total in 2014 and 2015 for various political consulting and campaign materials. Republicans were successful in regaining the majority of the state Senate in 2014, when most of the spending on Cambridge Analytica took place.Colorado Democratic Party Chair Morgan Carroll on Wednesday called for Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman to investigate Cambridge Analytica’s role in the state’s 2014 elections, suggesting Colorado was “the guinea pig” in the company’s “experiment” involving U.S. elections.Coffman responded by saying her office was looking into Cambridge Analytica and other third-party organizations to see if Colorado laws were violated, and said she was working to pass a bill relating to data privacy in the state’s General Assembly.After the Channel 4 report came out Wednesday, Andy George, who ran the Senate Majority Fund when it used Cambridge Analytica, told KMGH that neither he, nor anyone on his team, had access to the Cambridge Analytica data.“They were very secretive and guarded when it came to their database,” George said. “It is one of the reasons we were skeptical of their product to begin with.”He also questioned who in Colorado, or elsewhere, might be in possession of the data if Cambridge Analytica claims it deleted the data and if no one connected to the Senate Majority Fund had access.“Since they never gave anyone on our team access to their database, I’m not sure how any data could still be out there,” George said.George previously told KMGH the fund wouldn’t have worked with Cambridge Analytica had it known the data it was using was questionably obtained, and told The Denver Post “their pitch was better than their performance.”But the internal company documents previously published by KMGH showed Cambridge believed its products and services “made a substantial contribution” to the election; that the company produced dozens of mailers for Senate GOP candidates; and that it made “446 lists of voters generated for targeted communications.”Cambridge said it was successful in helping the Senate Majority Fund flip three of the five seats they targeted to help Republicans regain the Senate that year.“Overall this a very positive result, and one of the victories gave the GOP control over the Colorado State Senate,” the internal documents said.Still, George maintained Wednesday that Cambridge Analytica and its parent company, SCL, was taking more credit than was due. And he took a shot at Carroll, too.“As much as SCL would like to take credit for the Senate Republicans’ victories in 2014, I think more credit should be given to Morgan Carroll for helping draw politically motivated maps that ousted an incumbent Democrat and gave us the opportunity to win the majority.” 5492

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden discussed coronavirus vaccines during an event Wednesday after being briefed by public health experts on the issue.During his speech, Biden said that while he trusts what scientists say about a potential vaccine, he doesn’t trust President Donald Trump.He mentioned what he called Trump’s “incompetence and dishonesty” surrounding the distribution of personal protective equipment and coronavirus testing. “We can’t afford to repeat those fiascos when it comes to a vaccine,” said the former vice president. “I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don’t trust Donald Trump, and at this moment, the American people can’t, either.”The Trump campaign has accused Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, of sowing doubt about a potential vaccine by expressing concerns that politics count taint the approval process.Asked whether his comments could undermine public trust in scientists, Biden said the vaccine approval process should be “totally transparent” and it should be evaluated by a “board of scientists” that could give the public an unbiased opinion.Watch his remarks below:Biden's speech took place the same day that the federal government unveiled initial plans to distribute COVID-19 vaccines when they become available.According to a plan put forth by the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, the first round of vaccines would be reserved for medical professionals and essential workers. Eventually, vaccines would be distributed to whoever would like one.Vaccines would be provided to the public without cost thanks to Congress's legislation and signed into law by President Donald Trump.However, The Associated Press reports that officials face an uphill battle in getting the country vaccinated. A poll taken earlier this year indicates that about half of people would not take a vaccine if offered one.Biden's comments also come a day after President Donald Trump made the claim that COVID-19 would "disappear" even without a vaccine. 2019

Days after the election, the country is still in limbo wondering who our next president is. It can be stressful for adults, but we have to remember, our kids are watching, too."The divisiveness has gotten so significant, and we really can’t help prevent our kids from getting exposed to it," said Children's Hospital Colorado child and adolescent psychologist Dr. Jessica Hawks.For months before this polarized election, children have seen attack ads, rallies, and protests. Our country is so divided with this election, and it's still not over."It’s inevitable that they’re going to see it," said Dr. Hawks.So, Dr. Hawks says instead of trying to shield our children, we should be open and have age-appropriate conversations."A lot of times parents worry that approaching these sensitive topics can somehow be unhelpful, or maybe amplify the problem, but the opposite is true. Talking about it is really important," said Dr. Hawks.But it’s not just talking with our children. We have to be mindful of the conversations we have with the other adults in our house."As parents, we have to be really aware of how we’re showing up every day in front of our kids to make sure we’re doing the things we need to be doing to help promote our kids’ health and well-being," said Dr. Hawks.She says this is a great opportunity to teach our kids several lessons. One is how to be a critical thinker."One of the things parents can be doing right now is teaching their kids how do you evaluate the information out there in a critical way, look to trusted news sources to be able to inform people's opinions," said Dr. Hawks.Another thing you can teach your kids is how to have differing viewpoints."It’s important that kids learn how to stop, listen, ask questions, be open to other people’s perspectives, and be able to do that in a way that maybe at the end of that conversation, you don’t change your opinion, but you have the ability to engage in that important political discourse in a respectful way," said Hawks.Especially in this election that’s split so closely down the middle. 2081

Despite the news from recent weeks, Austin Eubanks does have hope for the future; confidence that the country will stem the tide of mass shootings.Eubanks was underneath a table in the library at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, when he was shot twice, once in his hand and once in his knee.His best friend, Corey DePooter, was one of the 13 victims killed that day.“Columbine was really the tipping point for this phenomenon,” Eubanks says.The phenomenon he describes is the issue of mass shootings, occurring more and more frequently and in places traditionally considered safe: schools, outdoor concerts, even churches.“I never thought that it would get to this point. My hope was always that Columbine was going to be an outlier.”After the Nov. 5 shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, where 26 victims were killed, Columbine is no longer even among the top ten deadliest mass shootings in the U.S.And that, Eubanks says, is "terrifying."Has the country learned anything as a society since Columbine? Perhaps, he says.“I would hate to think there wasn’t learning along the way. The problem is you can’t have learning without action. What have we done about it? Nothing. We haven’t done anything, and that’s incredibly frustrating for me.”He’s frustrated that more hasn’t been done to address the obvious problems: mental health and guns.Individually, he says, everyone can do more. Eubanks is a firm believer that the rise in mass shootings has a direct correlation to the rise in the opioid and addiction crisis in the U.S.Following his injuries at Columbine, he was immediately put on prescription meds for his physical pain. But that, he says, quickly turned into a desire for more — more pain meds but also a need for illicit drugs and then alcohol.“My drug of choice was always ‘more.’ I wanted to take whatever you had that would allow me to not feel present.”A decade went by before he finally found recovery. Now, recovery is his life’s work. He’s the Chief Operating Officer at Foundry Treatment Center in the mountains of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.As a society, Eubanks says, we don’t do enough to honor the lives of those taken in these mass shooting events.“For me personally, the way that I remember my best friend is by doing the work I do today,” Eubanks says. “So I’m able to lend my voice to this conversation on how we impact change.""If we are all able to come together and talk about how we can evolve as a society to help prevent this down the road, then that honors the memory of all victims.”Eubanks says there is another way we can all honor the victims, and that’s by working to end mass shootings. Aside from the seemingly endless debate over policy changes in Washington, there’s something simple everyone can do in their daily lives: reach out to people, even those who may seem “different.”He says that since a majority of the attackers exhibit the same common denominator--loneliness--it’s preventable, simply by reaching out and focusing more on inclusion of others every day.“You have to look at your community and say ‘How can I impact change in my community?’ One of the ways is focusing on your own healing and being an example for others. From there, look at your family and say ‘how am I raising my kids? Am I normalizing these conversations in my kids?’”Those conversations, he says, should be about preventing loneliness and preventing addiction as a symptom of trauma.And even though Eubanks admits that the more these events continue to occur, the more desensitized the country becomes, the trick is not letting that deter motivation for change.“[Americans] have to sit down and think, ‘What am I willing to accept in my society, and what am I willing to not accept in my society?’ And for me personally, I’m not willing to accept the fact that we are just going to continue to allow these episodes of mass violence to continue to snowball out of control.”“We were at a point where we shouldn’t have continued to allow this to happen 20 years ago,” Eubanks says. “We have to get motivated to do something about this and we can’t wait any longer.” 4154

DEL MAR (CNS) - A 4-year-old gelding died today during training at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, the second horse lost during the 81st summer meet.Irreproachable suffered an unspecified injury this morning during a workout, according to Del Mar track spokesman Mac McBride. Irreproachable had raced twice, once at Santa Anita in May and once at Del Mar last month, McBride said.The other fatality involved Lovely Lilia, a 3-year-old filly that suffered a fatal injury during a morning workout on July 11, and was later euthanized.McBride said Del Mar has not lost any horses during racing for the past two summer meets.While there were no racing deaths, four training deaths were recorded last summer, while the subsequent fall meeting saw three racing deaths and two in training.McBride noted that in both 2018 and 2019, the Jockey Club's Equine Injury Database recognized Del Mar as the safest major track in the United States.``We hope to continue in that role this year,'' he said. Del Mar began its summer meet with no fans in the stands for the first time because of the coronavirus pandemic.Del Mar is holding races Friday through Sunday for all but the final week of the current meet, when racing will be held Friday through Monday with the meet concluding, as is traditional, on Labor Day. 1307
