“The professionals at Hospice of Santa Barbara strive to provide the highest level of service to clients by offering effective, cutting-edge therapies,” Kenny Slaught notes, praising the organization. “Dealing with grief and loss is extremely difficult, but a new therapy has emerged to help individuals through difficult times.” People dealing with PTSD undergo overwhelming and painful emotions whenever they remember a past trauma, similar to those dealing with loss and grief. EMDR allows these negative emotions to be mitigated. EMDR involves the practice of dual stimulation—both bilateral eye movements and tones or taps, during which clients recall past traumas in a safe environment while focusing on the external stimulus. Practitioners then assist clients in finding insight about the difficult emotions and make more positive associations with current triggers.

Kenny Slaught notes that David Low was awarded his bachelor’s degree in biology from UC San Diego, Master’s Degree in microbiology from San Diego State University and a Ph.D. in cellular biochemistry from UC Irvine. While a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, Low conducted research in molecular microbiology in the lab of Stanley Falkow, who is now a professor emeritus in microbiology and immunology. In 1998, Low joined the UCSB faculty following 13 years as a professor at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center. He was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology in 2013, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science elected him as a fellow in 2003.
Kenny Slaught, an active member and supporter of UCSB Foundation, has recently posted on his blog at KennySlaught.com that “The University of California Santa Barbara announced on May 26, 2016 that it is a Grand Challenges Explorations grant winner.” He extends his congratulations to the university.
As the housing market reaches white-hot levels, many California buyers are finding that they must pay excessively high prices for older, less fashionable home options. Kenny Slaught points out that costs have been steadily rising since 2008, with the common reference Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller home price index revealing that Los Angeles home prices hit their highest point during April of this year, the peak since October of 2007. Having grown beyond mere recession recovery, Southern California’s larger metropolitan areas are approaching their former peaks. Slaught says the turnaround is because of a number of factors, such as interest rates, job growth and supply and demand. A 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage is hovering around 3.5% or less, nearing 3.31 percent (the record low hit in November 2012) and pushing many toward buying. These enticingly low rates, coupled with strong employment numbers, such as a 2.4% gain in Los Angeles County and a 3.5% rise in Orange County, make it clear just why values have appreciated in an incredibly fast-paced manner. Despite home prices varying considerably statewide, the inflated asking price of higher-end residences outpaces all states other than Hawaii. The steady demand for housing cannot currently be met by the thin supply available, forcing many first-timers to opt for condominium-style units which are both obtainable and selling within a more modest price range.
