That's part of why there's a comfort level with him moving forward," Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani said. "We're all surprised by your leaving, but you've done a good job of stabilizing." Brannman was hired at UMC in 2008 to serve as chief operating officer and was chosen to take over as CEO in 2011; he earned an annual salary of $243,422. Prior to joining UMC, he spent much of his career working in health care for the Navy.

IOC Communications Director Mark Adams said information supplied by Ne- vada sports books would be used by the organization's Integrity Betting Intelli- gence System. The collaboration builds on an earlier agreement signed prior to the summer Olympics conducted in London in 2012. In the past, irregular betting patterns detected by sports books have uncov- ered point-shaving schemes involving collegiate and professional basketball players.
