The Stepkids are a trio who came together in 2009 after a decade of working in bands with some of the industry's biggest names, creating a unique brand of modern psychedelic soul. The Bridgeport CT based band-- Jeff Gitelman (guitar, vocal), Dan Edinberg (bass, keys, voc) and Tim Walsh (drums, voc)-- gleefully blend classic jazz, R&B, funk, 70s pop/rock and countless other genres and styles.
The release of their 2011 self-titled debut album and the praise for their visually psychedelic live show led to tours with Kimbra, Mayer Hawthorne, Grace Potter, Mates of State and The Horrors. The result of the experience gained and lessons learned since the release of The Stepkids can be heard throughout new album Troubadour, out September 10 on Stones Throw Records.
The album features “Sweet Salvation,” released as a single and video in late 2012; “Moving Pictures,” performed by the band on NBC’s Last Call With Carson Daly last fall; and “The Art of Forgetting”performed recently as part of the “In The Red Bull Studio” series. RollingStone.com just premiered new single “The Lottery” a song that Gitelman describes as being about “the gamble of different sides of life: The gamble of love, the gamble of business, and the general risk of following your heart.”
The Stepkids will continue to bring their music to stages across North America including upcoming performances at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Electric Forest Festival and Celebrate Brooklyn! at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn, NY. The band also recently launched a series of jazzy covers of pop songs from the likes of Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, and one of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.”
“I really believe that we still haven’t discovered some of our most exciting stuff,” enthuses Gitelman. “Everybody is so deep musically, there are whole sides of us we haven’t really explored yet.”

Hi Daniel,Daniel said:Arizonapilot: I didn't know you could program a fob yourself. Don't you need extremely specialized equipment? Or is it just a matter of putting the fob in the slot and pressing the right buttons?
Yeah...It sounds like you have come out about where I came out on it. I do find this having to set the temp below the temp of the car to prevent heat to be a bit annoying. (On the other hand, I guess in my previous car, it would also put out heat if I had it on "vent" and didn't have the cold-warm dial all the way over on cold...So, maybe it's not really any worse.)Daniel said:Jshore: You have to start the climate system by pressing a fan speed button. Then turn the A/C off if it decided to come on. Then you have to set the temperature below the temp of the car (to prevent heat). They really should have just had a "Vent" button.

Bemidji State, Northwest Tech aiming for normalcy in coming school year
Staff and students at Bemidji State University and Northwest Technical College are hoping COVID’s Delta variant won’t derail their plans for normalcy this fall.
BEMIDJI -- Staff and students at Bemidji State University and Northwest Technical College are hoping COVID’s Delta variant won’t derail their plans for normalcy this fall.
“No masks, no restrictions, no joke” was the original sentiment going into the 2021-2022 school year, but with a recent rise in COVID cases in Beltrami County, a mask mandate was implemented on Monday, Aug. 9. However, both colleges still plan to hold a school year nearly identical to those that took place pre-COVID.
The mandate will be reevaluated on Monday, Aug. 30, after which the mandate could extend two more weeks or expire Tuesday, Aug. 31, according to BSU’s website.
“More and more people are getting vaccinated, so we’ll be able to operate safely and provide a more robust school year,” said Travis Greene, vice president of student life and success at BSU and NTC.
According to Director of Admissions Andy Wright, overall enrollment is down 5.3% at BSU while NTC’s enrollment is even with last year. In-person enrollment at BSU is down 19% while online enrollment is up 15.8%.
“Some of that is due to changes in how classes are coded and moving some formerly in-person classes to online,” Wright said. “It may not be a change in student behavior, but a change in how we’re offering those opportunities.”
Wright provided another insight that BSU is one of two schools in the Minnesota State system with an increase in freshmen enrollment of 7.5% for the upcoming semester. Wright also anticipates that international enrollment will increase from last year.
BSU and NTC remain test flexible with regards to the ACT. “Several students are still unable to take the test, so we’re making decisions based on high school transcripts,” Wright said. “We’re not requiring an ACT for admission or freshman merit scholarships, and this will continue for fall 2022.”
Following a tuition freeze last fall, Greene said tuition increased a small percentage this past spring. He also said tuition has increased 3.5% for this year.
While overall enrollment is down, 910 students will live on-campus, almost the same number as pre-COVID occupancy. This number may increase as more housing requests come in with the first day of classes approaching.
In comparison, this last year saw BSU limiting the number of on-campus students to 500 including students with in-person classes, student-athletes and those with extenuating circumstances.
BSU will also have isolation housing in Pine Hall for those who develop COVID symptoms and freshmen will be housed exclusively in Oak and Tamarack Halls again. The increase in on-campus occupancy comes with students being allowed to have roommates again as well as a majority of BSU classes, roughly 70%, being offered in-person.
NTC will offer about 60% of their classes in-person along with some hybrid options and predetermined in-person dates for certain online classes.
While most classes are in-person again, some that were online this past year are staying online. Certain faculty who have health concerns also have the option of continuing remote teaching. All other staff have been transitioning back to campus over the past several months.
During initial planning for this upcoming year, most courses included back-up delivery methods if public health conditions deemed them necessary. These included defaulting to synchronous online class meetings at specific times and asynchronous online classes, although these have since been removed from the academic schedule.
“We are not pivoting or defaulting to online classes,” Greene said. “The only mitigation is face masks. Everything else can be safely managed.”
The near-normal on-campus student population also leads the way for BSU’s Lakeside Food Court to reopen. Four stations will be open including Mexican and Asian cuisine being combined into one and Greens to Go serving prepackaged salads.
Einstein’s Bros. Bagels is closed for this upcoming year, so Lakeside will open for breakfast to compensate. EcoGround’s, the Lodge convenience store, Wally’s dining hall and the Upper Deck will open at normal hours and without distanced seating. Grant Avenue Cafe at NTC will remain open at its normal hours as well.
Travel restrictions are virtually nonexistent aside from mask requirements when riding in state-owned vehicles with passengers and international travel being restricted. All other travel for athletics, music tours, club events and other meet-ups are currently permitted.
“We don’t have any intentions of going back to how things were this past year,” Greene said. “We also don’t make decisions on a whim. We participate in campus forums and communicate to students in many ways so that they stay informed about these Delta cases that continue to affect us.”
Move-in day for BSU and NTC is Thursday, Aug. 19, in conjunction with Welcome Day festivities, although students have the option of early move-in starting Saturday, Aug. 14. NTC students who attend and complete a scholarship application on-site will be eligible for additional scholarships, a release said.
“The potential scholarships available only to students who attend Welcome Day adds a good bit of excitement,” said Tyler Peterson, director of the Student Success Center at NTC. “It’s fun to connect with so many of our new students and share with them helpful resources and guidance to make their NTC experience the best it can be.”
Along with BSU’s general orientation weekend, Project 20 is a new initiative that aims to connect 2020 high school graduates who attend BSU and those living on-campus with meaningful social experiences they may have missed this past year. Project 20 has a separate orientation running Aug. 20-22.
Fall classes begin Monday, Aug. 23.

On August 5, 2020, Binance CEO CZ tweeted about an upcoming initial exchange offering (IEO). The IEO is set to take place on the Binance LaunchPad for a new gaming project known as “The Sandbox.”
The Sandbox is one of the blockchain-powered gaming platforms currently in development. The virtual world of Sandbox consists out of lands, and voxels fill up each of those lands.
This gaming project developed by TSB Gaming has secured private investment from Binance Labs and has partnered with some significant startups, including the renowned Ethereum-based CryptoKitties and Opera browser.
Binance now plans to raise $3M through a token offering on Binance LaunchPad on August 13 at 06:00 am UTC (+0). The primary utility token of the platform, dubbed SAND, will be offered through the lottery-ticket IEO format.
Binance announced that investors can purchase about $200 worth of SAND per ticket, and the number of tickets each applicant gets is tied to how many BNB coins they hold. In total, there will be 360M SAND tokens available for sale on the Launchpad.
Gaming-Related IEO Stirs the Crypto Community
The news that Binance’s exclusive token launch platform for transformative blockchain projects will support a gaming project for its third project of 2020 has shocked many in the crypto community who thought that the next IEO would be DeFi related.
The Sandbox dev team is creating a remarkable virtual gaming world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences using SAND Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
SAND holders will also be allowed to actively participate in the gaming platform’s governance via a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
For TSB Gaming, this upcoming IEO on Binance is the perfect way to determine the market value for their SAND token, which has a total supply of 3 billion dollars.
Arthur Madrid, CEO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox, noted that the strategic partnership with Binance and its $3M investment helped the platform attract more than 2.7 billion gamers.
The Sandbox Land Presale is Sold Out
The first round of the final land pre-sale started yesterday (Tuesday, August 4) and sold out in less than 24 hours, with 75% of land sold in the first 30 minutes.
The beta test for the gaming platform is scheduled to launch later this year, but there will be one more pre-sale before then.
During this pre-sale, interested gamers, startups, and investors will be able to buy virtual land at a discount.

There are times when I am going through things and I just feel…some kinda way. Those are times when I have to encourage and remind myself of the truth. The first truth that I am reminding myself of today is this…love never fails. And just n case I almost forget, I’ve added it to my screensaver.
It is so easy to forget sometimes. I want to do things my way at times and treat others the way that they have treated me. You know all the pain and the time spent crying can feel really horrible, but then I have to remember that love endures. That makes me question my motives and…my heart. Am I only thinking of myself in the situation or is this about the ones that I love.
The truth is that I have to continue to think on and remind myself of these things so that I can become better at loving those that God has given me to love.
This can even be true with my kids. After a long stressful day, I’m tired and ready to go to bed. Sometimes they are not. They want to sit and talk or cuddles and play. When your tired, it’s hard to have fun. Well, I know it is for me, but I have to give them what they need. When my oldest has been at school all day and needs his mama, I have to muster up the energy and give him what he needs. For a moment that is hard, but God has equipped me for that very moment. Within seconds , he smiles and I’m not tired anymore. I have a burst of energy because I see and understand what the love that I have for him does to him.
This same frame of mind has to be used when it comes to my husband, mother, father, friends, siblings, cousins…you get the picture.
Truthfully, I just have to remind myself of the effect that love has on people. It’s not always about me being loved. Instead it’s about me loving. With a warm heart I love when it’s easy and…when it’s hard.

This brutal and brilliantly reported account of life in the drug trade on the Mexican-American border turns the story of one El Paso family into an excavation of the relationship between commerce and corruption. For Bowden, Mexico is a place where narcotics money can buy anything, including access to the highest reaches of government, and where the flow of drugs is one of the only things keeping the economy afloat, while America—with its insatiable demand and its ready cash—is the engine that keeps the system running. Bowden has never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like, and his overwrought prose has a paranoid air, substituting loosely connected assertions for coherent argument. But his characters—including a D.E.A. agent who has gone off the rails and a drug lord who suddenly finds himself dispensable—are remarkably vivid, and he captures the way greed, ethnicity, and an old-school emphasis on honor interact to create a world in which violence is the only constant.

Michigan legislators want fast-food companies to stop offering gendered toys with kids’ meals. On Wednesday, Michigan House Democrat Leslie Love and 14 Democratic colleagues introduced House Resolution No. 429, which is meant to “urge food establishments and franchisees in Michigan to stop gender classification of toys offered in its kids’ meals.” But while the non-binding resolution shows a good faith effort to combat gender stereotyping in kids’ products, it will have exactly zero impact. Nada. Zilch. None. Because the fact is that businesses are staffed by workers who often have their own ideas about gender, and the only way to overcome that barrier is to change the toys themselves.
The resolution that has been referred to the Michigan House Committee on Commerce and Trade would be essentially worthless if it were not for the fact that it does contain some excellent information. Not only do the resolution authors point out that gender identification begins as early as age two, it leans on Monmouth University Gender Development Laboratory research to address the potential harms of gendered toys.
“As the child grows older and develops, his or her play activities change based on societal connection to their gender,” the resolution reads. It’s that science that leads the authors to suggest that gendered toys are bad for play. “This practice can influence and limit children’s imaginations and interests by promoting some toys as only suitable for girls and others only for boys.”
That’s all incredibly valid, and it’s good to know this information is now part of the state’s public record, but that’s where the resolution’s merit ends. Because the fact is that many corporations are already discouraging gender stereotyping. It’s just that those policies aren’t being communicated well to employees or actively enforced. The problem isn’t actually institutional in a strict sense. McDonald’s doesn’t have backwards corporate policies about gendered toy distribution. The company and its franchisees simply don’t allocate enough time and resource to train poorly paid hourly workers.
This isn’t really an issue about gender. It’s an issue of large companies failing to invest meaningfully in their workers.
Earlier this year, a McDonald’s customer-service representative explained to me that their happy meal toy policy was to describe the toy itself and leave gender out of it. This has never happened at my local McDonalds. I’m only ever asked if the toy is for a girl or a boy. And apparently, the same problem exists in Michigan. After all, as the resolution points out: “While some food establishments claim to have abandoned this practice, many stores in Michigan continue to offer gender-classified options to customers.”
If a busy minimum wage worker is presented with offering two toy options, they will look for the easiest way to differentiate between them. Consider a recent example when the options were a pink Shopkins stove and a purple gun-toting transformer robot. It’s human nature to default to easy stereotypical classifications. The context is clear that one of those toys is for girls and the other for boys. Why else would there be two options?
A strongly worded and non-binding resolution is not going to fix centuries of human gender programming. So, then, what would work? Offering one toy that is either educational or creative. Last February, for instance, I was pleasantly surprised when I was not asked the gender of my children in the drive-through. That’s because the toy was a Make Your Own Valentine kit in partnership with American Greetings. The bonus? My two boys loved it.
This is the way forward. In order to do an end-run around the natural human inclination to default to stereotypes, fast-food companies need to stop giving toy options. It is possible that legislation could force fast food’s hand. Lawmakers could, for instance, demand educational standards for kids’ meal toys the same way they demand nutritional labeling. But Michigan House Resolution No. 429 is not that legislation. And much like the gendered toys it seeks to change, it will be forgotten in the blink of an eye.


We have acquired two different weather stations in the past few years, the type that transmit information from an outside sensor to an inside display. One, which is LCD and does not show humidity, tells us the outside temperature on one of our balconies is -23C
The second one, however, tells us that the outside temperature on the second balcony is LL.L
I am confident the LL.L means this device has reached its lower limit for temperatures.
Update: Before MA posted his comment and link, I had taken this photo of the specifications of our weather station but had not had time to post the photo:
Indeed the lower limit of the temperature range for the outdoor sensor is -20C. That day, London Ontario set a record low of -26C.

Crazy About Kurt is a coming of age novel written by Will Link. Spring was in the air, and especially appreciated after a long, cold Long Island winter. As the seniors walked into Smithtown High School, there was an air of anticipation mingled with a bit of fear at a school year almost over, of an ending to life as it had always been. Some were excited about college plans; others wondered what they would be doing after the summer and without their friends around anymore. But this Friday, normally a day filled with the anticipation of Friday night and the weekend, came to a crashing end as the news swirled through the hallways -- Kurt Cobain was dead. T.J.’s meandering post-cigarette entrance was interrupted by a shrill scream as a girl registered the tragic news. When he asked her friend what was wrong, T.J. began to process the impact the news would have on his friends and, indeed, the whole school. Cobain and his group, Nirvana, were an integral part of their identity; the loss would resonate and disrupt classes throughout the day. He would come to think it somewhat bizarre that some of the grownups in school wondered if Cobain’s suicide would spark a trend of sympathetic suicides among the students.
Crazy About Kurt follows four friends as they navigate their Friday in school and Friday night, and come to terms with the loss of an icon. I found myself entirely absorbed in the interrelated stories of T.J., Matt, Jeff and Jackie and appreciated how the author built each character’s story and wove their Friday night adventures into a coherent whole. I’m quite familiar with Smithtown and Long Island and loved revisiting the area, especially those diners with their epic menus and opportunities for 24/7 noshes. Link’s characters are credible and come complete with flaws, foibles, hopes and desires. The monster party that Sage is hosting works wonderfully as the goal for each of them, and Jeff’s terrifying interlude as the involuntary driver for three strange kids adds tension and drama.
Anyone who’s grown up on the Island or even lived there for a few years will love this book and the deft touch the author has at making the area and the odyssey each character undertakes that night come alive at that moment of time in the 1990s. The musical and movie selections and the author’s filmmaking background make Jeff and Matt’s story resonate particularly well and add a screenplay feel to the work. And yes, I’d love to see this made into a movie; this debut novel is really something special. Crazy About Kurt is most highly recommended.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is said to be ‘seriously considering’ sounding out Chelsea over a move for goalkeeper Petr Cech this summer, according to the London Evening Standard.
The Gunners are admirers of the Czech Republic international, who has found first-team opportunities limited at Stamford Bridge this season due to the emergence of Belgian youngster Thibaut Courtois as the club’s new number one.
Arsenal also have a dilemma in goal at the moment as Wojciech Szczesny’s dip in form and accusations of poor discipline after being found smoking after a defeat earlier in the season have led to him being axed by Wenger and replaced in goal by David Ospina.
Although the Colombian shot-stopper has performed well in Szczesny’s place, it seems Arsenal would still prefer to try their luck with a move for Cech to be their first choice in goal next season.
The long-serving Blues star has previously been regarded as one of the best in the world in his position, and seems unlikely to be content with continuing as a backup player for his current club.

We promote the fact the EM enhances fertiliser performance and have many trials that show the positive impact it has alongside a whole range of fertilisers and fertiliser blends. The way EM does this is by speeding up the breakdown of the fertiliser and enhancing the plants utilisation. However without a microscope this is not an easy thing to see, so we set out to show the visual impact of EM on fertiliser. We were recently asked to look at the impact EM has on some Viafos Guano and thought it would be a good case study to demonstrate how the microbes in EM can enhance the breakdown of fertiliser granules.
Visual Fertiliser Breakdown
The aim was to show that EM will breakdown the fertiliser granules faster therefore make the nutrient available to the soil and the plant. We did this by adding soil and the exact same volume of guano to each pot. EM was then added to 2 of the 3 plots per treatment keeping an untreated control. Each pot had 50ml of water every 3 days and these pictures were taken after 2 weeks.
Below shows the impact EM Ready to Use (RTU) has on the breakdown of the granular product with the speed being increased significantly by the addition of EM. The first picture shows EM RTU at 1% and 5% vs a no EM control. It is evident to see that EM has sped up the breakdown of the guano with more granules separated and dispersed on the top of the soil. The No EM control still has a high percentage of granules intact where as the 5% EM treated pot has broken down the most with almost no granules remaining in tact.
EM Fert Enhance (Dry)
The second picture shows our recently developed dry product or EM Fert Enhance at 3% and 5% again against a no EM control. This also shows EM speeding the breakdown of the granules up with EM Dry at 5% the best treatment. Both EM treatments have broken down the majority of the granules vs the no treated control having over 50% still intact.
For more information on these pot trials please contact EMNZ
Enhancing Fertiliser Inputs with EM
As shown in the above images, the microbes in EM help to breakdown fertilisers both biological and conventional. THey enhance fertiliser performance by solubilising compounds both organic and inorganic that are largely unavailable to plants and then making them available for uptake by the plants root system allowing the plant to put more energy into growth. In performing this important function the Microbes create a more efficient use of added nutrients, generating a better growth response from fertiliser inputs.
Research has shown EM stimulates Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma further enhancing nutrient uptake and the plants root system. EM works effectively with most fertiliser types.

There either is or is not, that’s the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it’s red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I’m not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I’m going to tell it the way I remember it.
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is an innovative, original episodic video and social media series produced for the web. Adapting Pride and Prejudice to the modern era, Lizzie Bennet tells the classic Jane Austen tale from the point of view of an Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bennet who grew up in a world of cell phones, video cameras, and social media. The series was created by popular YouTube personality Hank Green and Streamy Award winning web video writer Bernie Su.
The holiday season is bringing more than cheer for actress Jessica Capshaw. The Grey’s Anatomy star announced on Monday that she and her husband, Honest Company co-founder Christopher Gavigan, are expecting their fourth child. “The holidays have certainly arrived … All of our lives are being added to by the lights, the music and cheer!!” she captioned a photo of her family at a Christmas tree farm on Instagram. “This year our family has reason to further broaden our smile … baby number four is on the way!! I am a lucky, lucky girl…”
The quickest way to tell whether an actor is serious about his or her career is to look at their “headshot”.Is it a professional photo? Or is it a snapshot taken on prom night? If you’re using a snapshot, it’s like showing up to race the Indy 500 in a VW Beetle. Nobody is going to take you seriously. I’m sorry, people… you can send me as much angry e-mail as you want about this, but it’s true! Don’t tell me you’re destined to be a major Hollywood star but you cannot scrape together the cash to get professional headshots.
The Grinch from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical stole the spotlight at the Empire State Building’s 86th Floor Observatory December 14, 2012, to promote the musical’s limited holiday engagement.

The exhibition is the outcome of a fruitful collaboration with the Museo del Oro in Bogota, Columbia. Curated by Elisenda Vila Llonch, it successfully looks beyond the standard European myth of El Dorado as a dream of profit and material wealth, and conveys the values and beliefs of the different Amerindian societies that made up ancient Columbia through the gold and other materials they produced and left behind. For example, the exhibition brilliantly evokes the natural world of the ancient Columbians by displaying remarkable examples of masks, musical instruments, ornaments and decorative wear featuring jaguars, monkeys, bats and frogs.
As Sandip says,
“Beyond El Dorado” challenges the poverty of our modern secular imagination.
“Beyond El Dorado” closes on 23 March 2014.

Dear girl that is reading this,
I know you love him. I know it is hard to watch him walk by you like he doesn't care. You see his updates and you just want to comment on it and tell him he is a jerk. He does things to get to you. He posts things that will get to you. He knows your every move and he can predict you like he is turning the page in his favorite book. But hold up and listen, you don't ...need someone that treats you like trash. You don't need someone that checks out the girl walking past you while holding your hand. You deserve the best. I don't know what the best is exactly but I know it isn't what you're getting. So you keep your head up, beautiful. You look gorgeous everyday and you walk right past him and don't even look his direction. Don't pay attention to him. He doesn't deserve it. And you know what, you don't deserve him. YOU HONESTLY DESERVE BETTER. He never loved you right, but one day you WILL find a guy that will. Hold tight.
A Fool will grab & hit his girl.
A Boy will play with her heart.
A Jerk will mistreat her.
A Coward will run & quit.
BUT A MAN will grab her & pull her close, listen to her heart, treat her like a queen & be there through it all
I'm not sad, I'm just done.
I wanted commitment, and
you wanted to have "fun".
We're over, so I guess you won...
You had me fooled,
I thought you were the one!
You made it look so easy, leaving what we had behind... I was so convinced we would last... Your love made me blind... Now you're gone, only a memory in my mind.
Forgive me for liking you too much,
and I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.
Forgive me for the loud racing heartbeats of my heart,
and I'll forgive you for not hearing it.
Forgive me for finding you amazing,
and I'll forgive you for never noticing me.
Forgive me for wanting to be with you more than anything,
and I'll forgive you for avoiding me.
Forgive me for being so pathetic,
and I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.
Forgive me for not being able to let go of you,
and I'll forgive you for never holding on to me.
poème d'amour en anglais 6 : My eyes hurt from crying, my heart hurts from trying. I look so tired & worn out because inside I'm dying. I miss you, I need you, but I'm better off without you. Days will have to drag on longer, but eventually I will stop thinking about you. I wish I knew. I feel broken & unwanted, like it was easy for you to let me go. I trusted you with everything, I let my feelings show. Someday I hope I can look back at this & say I was strong. But only I know I'm not.
love poem 7 : Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, He sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes, He sends us illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
Sometimes, he takes "Everything" away from us so we can learn the value what we already have.

Head to Head
Conversations on Politics, Policy in the Golden State
By Chuck Reed
California Faces Higher Taxes, Fewer Services
Without Pension Reform
California�s economy is looking up. The unemployment rate is down and most industrial sectors are growing. Yet, even in these good times, governments statewide are raising taxes and fees, boosting tuition and cutting services, all in order to pay for rising retirement costs.
Between 2003 and 2013, annual pension costs for California governments jumped from $6.4 billion to $17.5 billion, and are still rising. The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) agencies are absorbing massive increases in contributions.
The state controller reports more than $240 billion in unfunded liabilities for state and local pension obligations. California Common Sense, a non-partisan policy group, calculates nearly $160 billion of unfunded liabilities for retiree health care obligations. This $400 billion in retirement debt is driving massive cost increases, which in turn are driving cuts in services and tax increases.
Without reform, California faces a future of higher taxes and fewer services. Some local governments already face service delivery insolvency and bankruptcy. More will join them in the next recession, and public employees, retirees, residents and taxpayers will suffer, as they did in Vallejo, Stockton and San Bernardino.
CalPERS and other opponents of pension reform tell us not to worry because over 20 years (1994-2014) CalPERS has earned more than 7.5 percent per year on its investments. But look at what happened to the CalPERS unfunded liabilities during that time: Unfunded liabilities grew by more than 150% per year. According to its Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, the CalPERS� unfunded liability grew from $3 billion to $93 billion in the same 20-year period. So when CalPERS tells you not to worry, you should think twice.
The only realistic solution to this crisis is through pension reform, and we can begin by following some simple principles:
- All workers deserve safe and secure futures and retirement plans should place employees on a path to a secure retirement, regardless of tenure.
- Retirement benefits should be fair, sustainable and predictable for current and future public employees.
- Benefits should be fully funded as they are earned, and incentives to underfund commitments should be eliminated.
It is time to reform pensions to give struggling government employers a way to pay retirees and employees every penny of the benefits they have earned, while providing reasonable services to their residents and taxpayers.

Why Chuck Reed�s Pension Attacks
Won�t Work and Won�t Pass
Former San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed�s and former San Diego City Councilmember Carl DeMaio�s statewide ballot pension measures have stumbled several times during the past six years and are doomed to fail in the future.
There are several reasons why:
- Their proposals are too extreme. Rather than solving problems, Reed & DeMaio make things worse, penalizing teachers, police, firefighters, school bus drivers and other public employees by either eliminating defined benefit pensions or cutting benefits so severely that these workers cannot retire with dignity.
- Reed and DeMaio rely on false or flawed data. They base their attacks on the less than 2% of public employees receiving six-figure pensions, ignoring the fact that 98% of public employees receive pensions averaging $30,000 a year.
- Reed and DeMaio also ignore the fact that teachers, police and firefighters do not receive Social Security.
- The vast majority of Americans with only a 401K style plan don’t have enough saved to retire with dignity. Many will end up on social assistance.
- In San Jose, Reed’s pension attacks were based on fabricated data. The result was a mass exodus of public safety employees and increased crime rates. Reed’s plan was scuttled by his hand-picked successor, who negotiated a compromise pension agreement at the bargaining table.
- While voters generally support pension changes, when they see the details of the Reed/DeMaio proposals, they oppose them by large margins. Statewide ballot measures need to start in the high sixty percentiles to be successful; the Reed/DeMaio measures never crack 45 percent.
Public employee pensions are a promise made in exchange for a career of service. They should be a promise kept. CalPERS and CalSTRS studies document the positive economic impact of pension spending. Eliminating retirement security is not only bad for workers; it is bad for the economy.
Rather than feeding off the anger towards workers who have pensions, Reed and DeMaio should be working to increase retirement security for all workers.

Children in Calderdale are set to lose out on £540,000 in extra support for children on free school meals thanks to an administrative sleight of hand that will see tens of thousands of disadvantaged children across the country ignored.
Local authorities across the country will lose out on millions in pupil premium funding – allocated to support children on free school meals – as government funding changes come into force. Labour analysis of freedom of information requests reveals that as many as 120,000 children could be missing out on support worth up to £155 million.
The change will see children lose support as the deadline for assessing eligibility for Pupil Premium funding (awarded to schools teaching disadvantaged children), is brought forward from the usual January cut-off to October. This will exclude tens of thousands of children from families pushed into poverty between October 2020 and January 2021 – a move widely condemned by educationalists. In that period Universal Credit claimants rose by 5.5% across the country.
In Calderdale schools will miss out on £540,000, the equivalent of 400 children at primary school not receiving their Pupil Premium.
Labour’s spokesperson for Education Cllr Adam Wilkinson said,
“The Conservatives can afford a 40% pay-rise for Dominic Cummings and £2bn in crony contracts for their mates, but when it comes to support for disadvantaged children in Calderdale, they are cutting every corner they can find.
“Our children are missing out on over half a million pounds, while the government throws billions after billions at a test and trace system that hasn’t worked. This will only make it more difficult for schools to provide the support pupils need to catch-up after a truly terrible year.
“It beggars belief that this government thinks it can use an accounting con to short change children in Calderdale. They have the wrong priorities and they are making the wrong decisions – time for another u-turn, now.”
Holly Lynch, MP for Halifax, said:
“Time and time again this Government has overlooked some of the most basic needs of children throughout the pandemic. Children who require this additional funding, from those families who are struggling the most, will miss out due to this financial fudge from Government. It’s simply not on. I wrote to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson last month calling on him to reverse this decision and I would ask that he now reconsiders this urgently.”
Kate Green MP, Shadow Education Secretary, said:
“The Conservatives’ stealth cut to school budgets shows their disregard for children’s futures as we recover from this pandemic.
“Their mishandling of the Covid crisis has kept children out of school, missing out on learning and time with friends, and now they are cutting support to help children most likely to have struggled with learning over the last year.
“The Conservatives have neglected children through this pandemic and now risk leaving them behind in our recovery.”
