 Different types of influenza 
viruses can spread through 
the community during 
flu season. The Centers 
for Disease Control and 
Prevention recommends 
that everyone ages 6 months 
and older get the vaccine 
annually to protect against 
the most common types of 
influenza viruses.

 “Everyone 6 months 
of age and older should 
receive a yearly flu vaccine, 
to protect against illness, 
missed work and school, 
and even hospitalization,” 
Pasadena Health Officer, 
Dr. Ying-Ying Goh said. 
“Even healthy children and 
adults can get very sick from 
influenza viruses.”

 High-risk groups 
susceptible to severe 
influenza complications 
include seniors ages 65 and 
older, pregnant women and 
people with chronic medical 
conditions such as asthma 
and diabetes, according to 
Dr. Goh.

 Vaccines will also be 
available at the PPHD Travel 
& Immunization Clinic. Call 
(626) 744-6121 for hours 
and availability.

Last week, Reps. Adam 
Schiff (D-Calif.), Stephanie 
Murphy (D-Fla.) and 
Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) 
sent a letter to Director 
of National Intelligence 
(DNI) Dan Coats asking 
the Intelligence Community 
(IC) to assess the national 
security threats posed by 
“deep fake” technology. 
Deep fakes are realistic 
digital forgeries of videos, 
images, or audio created 
with cutting-edge machine 
learning techniques. They 
could be used by malicious 
actors to falsely portray 
people saying or doing 
things that never happened. 
In the letter, the Members 
ask Coats to evaluate the 
threat posed by deep fakes, 
to identify technologies the 
government or private sector 
could use to detect or deter 
forgeries, and to recommend 
actions Congress and the IC 
should take to address this 
emerging threat.

 In the letter, the Members 
write: “By blurring the line 
between fact and fiction, 
deep fake technology 
could undermine public 
trust in recorded images 
and videos as objective 
depictions of reality… 
As deep fake technology 
becomes more advanced 
and more accessible, it could 
pose a threat to United 
States public discourse and 
national security, with broad 
and concerning implications 
for offensive active measures 
campaigns targeting the 
United States.”

 “Deep fakes could become 
a potent tool for hostile 
powers seeking to spread 
misinformation. The first 
step to help prepare the 
Intelligence Community, 
and the nation, to respond 
effectively is to understand all 
we can about this emerging 
technology and what steps 
we can take to protect 
ourselves,” said House 
Intelligence Committee 
Ranking Member Adam 
Schiff. “It’s my hope that 
the DNI will quickly work 
to get this information to 
Congress to ensure that we 
are able to make informed 
public policy decisions.”

 “Deep fake technology 
can be used by our enemies 
to undermine our nation’s 
security and democracy, 
which is why the Intelligence 
Community must provide a 
comprehensive report to 
Congress on the threat posed 
by deep fake technology. We 
need to know what countries 
have used it against U.S. 
interests, what the U.S. 
government is doing to 
address this national security 
threat, and what more the 
Intelligence Community 
needs to effectively counter 
the threat,” said Murphy, 
a member of the House 
Armed Services Committee.

 “Deep fakes have the 
potential to disrupt 
every facet of our society 
and trigger dangerous 
international and domestic 
consequences,” Curbelo 
said. “With implications for 
national security, human 
rights, and public safety, the 
technological capabilities 
to produce this kind of 
propaganda targeting 
the United States and 
Americans around the world 
is unprecedented. As with 
any threat, our Intelligence 
Community must be 
prepared to combat deep 
fakes, be vigilant against 
them, and stand ready to 
protect our nation and the 
American people from 
enemies looking to exploit 
this new technology.”

 The Pasadena Police 
Activities League (PAL) will 
hold its PAL Golf Classic on 
Friday, October 5 at Brookside 
Golf Club. The goal of this 
charitable tournament is to 
raise funds for PAL so that it 
can continue to reach the youth 
of the community by providing 
programs and services that 
make a positive impact.

 PAL, a national organization 
that came to Pasadena in 1997. 
It partners the youth of our 
community with the men and 
women of the Pasadena Police 
Department in a fun, safe, 
and nurturing environment 
while providing academic and 
cultural enrichment. PAL offers 
homework assistance, various 
sports, and a wide variety 
of special activities such as 
robotics and arts classes that 
give students an opportunity 
to build character and form a 
positive relationship with our 
community’s law enforcement. 
Currently, the PAL program 
serves an average of 140 
children in grades 4-12 a day 
with over 200 more on the 
waiting list.

 PAL has impacted over 3700 
students to date. The current 
need for the PAL program is 
to attain a facility of their own 
where they can host evening 
and weekend activities for 
Pasadena youth in addition to 
the daily operations.

 The PAL Golf Classic will 
include breakfast, 18 holes of 
golf, a raffle, several on course 
activities including Ice Cream 
from Fosselman’s Ice Cream 
Co. and an awards luncheon. 
There are prizes for 1st, 2nd 
and 3rd places. Shotgun start 
is at 8:00am with breakfast and 
registration opening at 7am.

 To support Pasadena PAL, 
sponsorship opportunities 
are available. Individual 
golfers are $150 and can be 
purchased on the Pasadena 
Pal website: pasadenapal.com/
golf-classic-2018/ For more 
information or to purchase a 
tee sign in advance, call (626) 
791-1225.

 The community’s participation 
will be greatly appreciated, 
particularly by the youth 
Pasadena PAL will be able to 
serve.
