Uttarakhand formerly known as Uttaranchal, is a state in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the “Land of the Gods” Devbhoomi Uttarakhand due to the many holy Hindu temples and pilgrimage centers found throughout the state. Char Dham is referred to the four most holy Hindu pilgrimage of India nestled in Indian Himalayas of Uttarakhand state of India. Yamunotri, Gangotri, Sri Kedarnathji and Sri Badrinathji, collectively referred to as the Char Dham (four pilgrimage centers) of Hinduism, these four sites are the epicenter of religious activity in north India and important shrine for Hindus. These have been the most important Hindu pilgrimage centers which have been visited by devout Hindus for ages. Yamunotri, the source of the Yamuna river and seat of Goddess Yamuna; Gangotri, the source of the Ganga river and seat of Goddess Ganga; Kedarnath, where a form of the Hindu God Shiva is acclaimed as one of the twelve jyotirlingas and this is the highest of the 12 Jyotirlingas - where Lord Shiva manifested himself in the form of light, it is the third of the four dhams and the holiest of all Hindu holy sites; and Badrinath, the seat of the Hindu God Vishnu. Experience the divinity and mysticism of these sacred shrines as we take you on a journey to 'Dev Bhoomi' (Abode of Gods), Uttarakhand.
Traditionally, the Chardham yatra is undertaken from the west to the east. Thus, the yatra starts from Yamunotri, then proceeding to Gangotri and finally to Kedarnath and Badrinath. Moreover devotees also visit ‘Gurudwara Sri Hemkund Sahib Ji’ the pilgrimage site for the Sikhs, and are one of the highest located religious sites in the country. Thus, pilgrims visit all these places in aspiration of washing away their sins and to attain salvation by the blessings of the Lord and ensuring the release from the cycle of birth and death. The honor conferred on these places is not surprising. These are regarded as the most sacred of all Himalayan ranges. It is also said that heaven and earth converge in these holy spots, and to be born or die here is a boon only the very fortunate have. The Chardham must be visited from left to right -beginning with Yamunotri, going on to Gangotri, then Kedarnath and culminating the journey at Badrinath. This route follows the Hindu tradition of parikrama.
Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Nilkanth, an aspect of Shiva. The temple is situated at a height of 1330 meters and is located about 60 km from Roorkee. Mythology states that Neelkanth Mahadev Temple has been built on that sacred point where Lord Shiva had consumed poison at that time of Samudra Manthan, which was churning of the ocean by Devtas (Gods) and Asuras (Demons). The poison was placed in his throat that turned blue to its effect, and thus Lord Shiva is also known as Neelkanth. The world ‘Neel’ means blue and the word ‘Kanth’ means throat. Devotees of Lord Shiva throng the temple in huge numbers, every year.
Haridwar is the gateway to Hari or Lord Vishnu. Haridwar is considered as one of the seven holiest places according to Hindu mythology located 25 km from HU. The source of Ganga is at Gaumukh (the shape of the ice formation is like a cow's mouth); the mighty river emerges from the depths of Gangotri glacier. The Gangotri glacier is situated at the height of 4255 meters above sea level and is approx 24 km in length and 7-8 km in width. Here the river is known as ‘Bhagirathi’ after King -Bhagirath. Rising in the icy caves of Gangotri glacier, the gushing , tossing and gurgling Bhagirathi starts its long journey downwards where later it joins river 'Alaknanda' and becomes ‘Ganga’.
“HU situated in front of a quiet, panoramic location near the historic ‘Ganga’ just close to Haridwar the gate way of divine places. River ‘Ganga’ floats in fronts of college which spawn positive gesture in brain by which student are gainers of creativity.”
According to the legends, when the Gods left their footprints on the land of Haridwar, metaphorically they also left an indelible mark on the spiritual ethos of every Hindu - more so, the devout, who would later follow their holy paths, all across this blessed land. According to the Samudra manthan, Haridwar along with Ujjain, Nashik and Prayag (Allahabad) is one of the four sites where drops of Amrit, the elixir of immortality, accidentally spilled over from pitcher while being carried by the celestial bird Garuda. This is manifested in the Kumbha Mela, which is celebrated every 12 years in Haridwar. During the Haridwar Kumbh Mela, millions of pilgrims, devotees, and tourists congregate in Haridwar to perform ritualistic bathing on the banks of the river Ganges to wash away their sins to attain Moksha. Brahma Kund, the spot where the Amrit fell, is located at Harki Pauri (literally, "footsteps of the Lord") and is considered to be the most sacred ghat of Haridwar. Haridwar, due to its geographical location stands as the gateway to the four pilgrimages of Uttrakhand. Mentioned as Mayapuri, Gangadwar, and Mokshadwar in the ancient scriptures and epics, Haridwar has always remained as a major Shaktipeeth for the devotees of such significance is Haridwar in the thought of India's traditional Hindus that it has earned its sobriquet of honor, `the gateway to the Gods'.
Piran Kaliyar is the dargah of 13th-century Sufi saint of Chishti Order, Alauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir Kalyari also known as Sarkar Sabir Pak and Sabir Kaliyari, situated at Kaliyar village, near Haridwar on the banks of Ganga Canal, 2 km. from HU, It is one of the most revered shrine for Muslims in India and is equally revered by Hindus and Muslims. Piran Kaliyar is the symbol of unity among Hindu & Muslims which is visited by millions of devotees from all over the world.
Roorkee is a global leader in technical education because of its ability to attract highly accomplished students and scholars from around the world. Roorkee is spread over a flat terrain with the Himalayas to the east and north-east. Roorkee lies on the banks of historical Ganga canal. Roorkee Cantonment is known as one of the country’s oldest and the headquarters of Bengal Engineer Group since 1853. HU situated in front of a quiet, panoramic location near the historic ‘Ganga’ just close to Haridwar the gate way of divine places.
Roorkee has the glorious distinction of being the fountainhead of engineering education in India. It is well known for its contribution in evolution of the modern technology by starting Roorkee College in 1847. Col. P.T. Cautley, an officer in the British Army, was most instrumental in constructing the canal. According to Dept. of Hydrology, the canal still considered as a marvel of engineering in Asia, was built in 1853. Currently Roorkee is bejeweled by many premier institutions of international significance like Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (formerly known as Thomson College of Civil Engineering), Central Building Research Institute, Irrigation Research Institute, and National Institute of Hydrology & Alternate Hydro Energy Centre among others.
Roorkee is a beautiful city that comes under Haridwar district of Uttarakhand. The city lies on the banks of historical Ganges canal and well connected through Indian Railways and National Highway all near states like New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal, Jammu & Kashmir etc. At the gateway of Haridwar and several other holy shrines of India like Haridwar, Rishikesh, Jim Corbett National Park, Mussoorie, Nainital, , Kedarnath, , Lansdowne, , Ranikhet, Haldwani and many tourism places are etc.

Grandin Park renamed after founder of Edmonton Catholic Services 0
To Brian Spiers, Monsignor William Irwin was more than just a figure in the neighbourhood church.
He was his neighbour and he was his friend.
For Spiers, having Grandin Park officially renamed after the man fondly known as 'Father Bill' and founder of Edmonton Catholic Services (CSS), was simply breathtaking.
"It's incredible, I think its brought a focul point to this part of the community," says Spiers.
"He (Irwin) was a very modest man, a very brave man, a great fundraiser, he was a person of the people, a brilliant communicator and a tireless worker - those were his best characteristics," says Spiers, who has called Edmonton his home since 1958.
Both Spiers and Irwin lived in LeMarchand Tower, adjacent to the historic LeMarchand Mansion which has stood in Edmonton's Oliver community since 1910.
Hundreds of community members gathered along with local volunteers with Catholic Social Services to participate in a dedication/blessing ritual for the newly named park.
Led by Archbishop Emeritus Joseph MacNeil and joined by carious guests including City Councillor Ben Henderson, the curtains were lifted on the newly displayed signs and a commemorative plaque hallmarking Father Bill's legacy.
"It's a great event for a great man on a great day," says Marc Barylo, vice-president of CSS. "Having a park named after our founder is very special."
The event is part of the CSS's 50th anniversary celebration that has seen various events take place throughout the year. Joan Carr, superintendant with the Edmonton Catholic Schools was on hand at the park to show support for CSS and the community.
"This is just another great way to recognize the incredible work that Monsignor Irwin had done in our city," says Carr. "Fifty years is remarkable, and what's even more remarkable is the number of families and children that CSS actually provides support for."
Catholic Social Services is the largest agency of its kind in Canada, and has more than 1,200 staff, and nearly 2,000 volunteers that provide more than 130 programs to the community, such as:
- Children, family, and community service
- Christmas hamper program
- Disability service
- Immigration and settlement service
- Substance abuse and corrections service
Coun. Henderson actively volunteers with CSS with their parent mediation program.
"I have come to really understand how critically important the work that was started by Father Irwin and how important CSS is to the city of Edmonton," says Henderson.
"I think it's way overdue to be able to commemorate what he has given to this city."
Earlier in the day, students from Monsignor William Irwin Elementary School gathered in the gymnasium of Grandin school to join together in a prayer for their school and its namesake.
The park was previously named after Father Vital-Justin Grandin, who served as a Roman Catholic priest in Alberta in the 1800's. Various locations across the Edmonton area are named after Grandin including a neighbourhoods in St. Albert, an Edmonton Transit Services (ETS) LRT station, and École/Escuela Grandin Elementary.

A versatile actress who excelled equally in polite drawing room comedy, Shakespearean revivals, and tragedy, Mary Boland emerged as a leading lady in the 1908 season and worked as John Drew's female co-star for several Broadway seasons, replacing Billie Burke in his company. Born in Philadelphia, educated in Detroit, her first stage experiences occured as a stock company juvenile there in the first decade of the 20th century. Her Broadway debut occurred in 1907 opposite Dustin Farnum in the unsuccessful Augustus Thomas' western, "Ranger." Her greatest stage role was as Mrs. Wheeler in the 1921 hit, "Clarence." 1925's "Cradle Snatchers" also enjoyed critical esteem and popularity.
Boland's motion picture career had two phases--an early stint from 1915-1920 playing wives in second rank productions, and a very successful series of films working as a character actress in the 1930s playing ditzy mothers. David S. Shields/ALS

Even rocket scientists have to get a little artsy. (Motorbooks/)
Artists often think outside the box. But when you’re hired by NASA, you have to literally think outside of this world. Over the last sixty-or-so years, in addition to its unprecedented scientific discoveries, NASA has also published some striking art pieces that portray ideas that range from the sci-fi proposals of the 50s and 60s to artistic recreations of real space adventures of the modern era.
The Art of NASA, a new compilation of some of the most creative, funky, and celestial masterpieces ever to grace the desks of space explorers and scientists, is out this week. Here’s a sampling of the outrageous work.
An impressionistic and dramatic 1963 drawing of the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle which was used to train astronauts for the moon landing. (Patrick Short/)
Artist Carl Zoschke captured this scene of an Apollo lunar module taking off in the 1960s, though with probably more flair and brilliant colors than was actually present at the time. (Patrick Short/)
The Skylab, launched in 1973, is still the largest spacecraft ever sent to space with just one rocket. This is an artist’s rendering of what was going on inside. (NASA/)
Here, an unknown artist depicts an Apollo command module’s fiery reentry to Earth’s atmosphere. (NASA /)
After the moon landing, the idea of life in space became more enticing than ever for scientists and artists alike, inspiring work like this 1970 drawing for National Geographic. (NASA/)
This sketch of an orbiting space hotel was drawn to help conceptualize a space ship in the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. (NASA /)
This is an artist’s depiction of the 2014 ATV from the European Space Agency that would become the main form of propulsion for NASA’s Orion spacecraft. (Chris Calle/Family of Paul Calle/)
A drama-filled illustration of the Ulysses spacecraft crashing through the tail of a comet. (NASA/)
If the Galileo spacecraft had fully extended it’s main antenna while orbiting Jupiter (it ended up only partially opening up), this is what NASA artists think it would’ve looked like. (NASA/)
Living in space is still a pretty far-out idea, but Princeton University physics professor Gerard K. O’Neill thinks this could be what it would look like. With O-Neill’s ideas in mind, artist Rick Guidice whipped up a whole series of art depicting futuristic outer space life. (NASA/)
In 2018, the Parker Solar Probe took super-close up images of the sun and forever changed what we know about space weather. This is one artist’s rendering of the probe hovering above the sun’s tumultuous surface. (NASA/)

Give a child the ultimate gift: Read to them
Real-life interactions are made and remembered by giving ourselves, not opening a box.
Containers are awaiting workers to off-load toys and other goods before Christmas. It’s getting pretty late for that now. Has that first-choice gift not arrived and if not, what can be done to help make someone’s Christmas special? The answer is simple: your time. Here’s why. Real-life interactions are made and remembered by giving ourselves, not opening a box.
It was more than two decades ago, when in the home of Dina and Bill Laskowski, I experienced the best gift a dad could give his young son. Their eldest son was still comfy on his dad’s lap and listening to stories. “A Christmas Story,” Charles Dickens’ classic ghost story about Ebenezer Scrooge, Mr. Cratchit and Tiny Tim, was being read by his “pops.”
The young boy cuddled with his dad as his dad’s deep voice bellowed out each chapter. When his dad was finished reading, we all wanted more.
How many children have been so privileged as to get that kind of one-on-one with a parent or grandparent? Reading from books, especially picture books, is important for kids. If their parents don’t read to them, just having an adult, a grandparent or any close family member or friend take the time to read a kid a story with them is a very special moment and one they won’t forget.
As a child, my mom read the daily newspapers aloud to me, as well as older siblings’ school books, the Bible and the occasional child’s book. In the classroom, my journalism and art students shared their own memories and enthusiasm for having been read to when they were “kids.” But the day Bill Laskowski read to his eldest child really hit home. What’s better than snuggling up to a caring adult who puts his “all” into reading a story to his child? You just can’t beat that.
“The Night Before Christmas” would be a perfect story to read aloud to a youngster or even Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” All have great illustrations and these two are short enough for anyone to wade through, regardless of reading skills. Taking the time to stop adult activities and just being with that child, talking to them and showing the pictures, is a gift that gives them far more than the topic of the book. It gives them self-worth and knowledge that they are important enough for that grown-up to care about just them for that moment.
The authors of those poems and books inserted lessons … not just for kids … but for everyone. How can you hear about Ebenezer’s ghostly visitors and hear how he changed without feeling changed yourself? Or being one of the residents of Whoville when the Grinch found his own heart and began to give back to THEM? Both give opportunities to have conversations with a youngster about people in their own world who might be bullies or maybe how to get beyond their own childhood fears.
And how could anyone not love Clement Clarke Moore’s “The Night Before Christmas”? Read that aloud a time or two and even the reader may find him or herself getting in the mood for Christmas day. Some of the earliest illustrations done by the author harken back to another time when life was slower and family traditions seemed more important than the cost or label on a toy or that impressive glamorous gift. Slowing down long enough to read a book might be a good thing for adults anyway.
My Christmas wish is peace within your heart, kindness around the world, and understanding that every person is worthy of love and a smile.

Mahmoud Yousef Hindi during his Nov. 2 pre-trial hearing.
LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Whether or not to set a bond became the issue in the case of a man accused of killing two men during a meeting.
Mahmoud Hindi is charged with killing Dave Merritt, 73, and Marvin Fisher, 69, at a Spring Creek Homeowners Association meeting on September 6.
In recent weeks, Hindi's attorney asked a judge to set bond which could allow Hindi to get out of jail until his trial.
During a pre-trial hearing on Monday, Hindi's attorney argued Hindi's case should be treated like any other murder case and that a bond should be set.
By law, all prosecutors have to do to keep Hindi behind bars until trial is to show strong evidence that Hindi is guilty - so prosecutors called the lead detective in the case to the stand. She testified Hindi admitted to the shooting during a police interview.
Still, the defense argued Hindi was being treated differently from similar homicide suspects.
Judge Fred Cowan sided with the prosecution ordering Hindi held without bond until trial.

*The owner's manual and the packaging for the gun show different velocity figures. According to the importer- the figures we show here are correct velocities.
I bought a refurbished one so maybe it is just a lemon.
I adjust it and then the first ten shots grouped was 1,5 " (3 shots overlapping in the bullseye) . The noise is very moderate.
In fact, it's the only gun out of my 8 air pistols that I can shoot at home (I live in a quiet appartments building). For my other
guns, I have to go to a friend's. I tried 2 brands of pellets (Crosman hollowpoint and RWS diabolo basic) and it does great
with the RWS pellets. It came with a couple of scratches but what can you expect from "made in Taiwan"
Beside that, it looks pretty nice, is very fun to shoot .although it has bad sights, it does shoot accurate.
Like the light cocking effort, and can't say i have any complaints about the trigger.
In all a very nice gun, but must say i enjoy the P17 more.

PENN & TELLER WEIGH IN ON NLRB DISPUTE
The comedy/magic duo Penn & Teller are part of a group of amici curiae urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to reverse a decision by the National Labor Relations Board finding that Ben Domenech, publisher of the online politics and culture website The Federalist, committed an unfair labor practice when he tweeted from his personal Twitter account: “FYI @fdrlst first one of you tries to unionize I swear I’ll send you back to the salt mine.” The Board ordered Domenech to remove the tweet among other penalties.
Amicus curiae means “friend of the court.” People or organizations with a policy interest in a case may file a brief urging the court to rule a certain way. These briefs are in addition to the briefs filed by the parties to the case. In this case Penn & Teller are part of a group who “are committed to preserving free expression and edgy humor. When an obvious joke is misinterpreted as an illegal threat, everyone becomes a little more frightened that the next thing they say might get them haled into court.”
According to the amicus brief, in sanctioning Domenech, the NLRB acted like “a humorless and literal-minded government agenc[y]” that failed to consider the context of the tweet. Domenech has over 80,000 followers. As the brief notes, “[p]eople generally don’t make serious, illegal threats in front of an audience of 83,000 people.”
And the audience was not the only factor. The content of the tweet itself suggested it was a joke. An online publication doesn’t maintain a salt mine. So, in the view of the amicus brief, it was obvious Domenech’s tweet was a joke, not intended to be taken literally. To illustrate its point the brief listed a number of over the top comments, that when read literally, threatened crimes as serious as murder. This included President Obama’s comment to the Jonas Brothers that he had predator drones at his disposal if they came calling on his daughters.
The amicus brief warns of the chilling effect of the NLRB’s ruling: “[f]ailing to understand the type of jokes that are made all the time in freewheeling online discourse is no laughing matter. If a joke about non-existent salt mines performed to 80,000 people can be turned into a federal case, everyone will tweet (and speak) less freely.” It’s an interesting case. And in the NLRB’s defense, even a joke can convey a message. But erring on the side of free expression seems like the way to go here.

She’s 85 and first to respond to flames that imperiled Santa Rosa neighborhood
It’s almost entirely true that at about 12:15 on that historically horrifying Monday morning nearly three weeks ago, 85-year-old Shirley White, dressed in her nightgown and brandishing a garden hose, single-handedly saved Santa Rosa’s timbered and hilly Montecito Heights.
Just strike the single-handedly part.
“I keep getting people at my door, saying, ‘Thank you for saving the hill,’?” said White, a vigorous former teacher and veteran human rights and environmental advocate.
Though grateful for the hero treatment, she is quick to point out she did not act alone. Shortly after she ran out to attack the wind-propelled flames that spread in trees and brambles alongside her yard, she makes clear, others joined her - neighbors, then Santa Rosa firefighters and, after the doused fire flared back to life, more neighbors.
To White, it isn’t so important to assign credit. What was imperative was the small fire that broke out in Montecito Heights, a similar hillside-homes-among-the-trees neighborhood to nearby Fountaingrove, had to be stopped before it swept down to the multitudes of homes in the Grace Tract, Proctor-Terrace, Junior College and McDonald neighborhoods.
White said she realized as she stood and sprayed water onto the fire, “I’ve got to get it out because it will take the hill.” And if it took the hill, what might fall next?
Like most other Sonoma County residents, she went to bed Oct. 8 after an ordinary Sunday and slept until she realized something was awry.
“The noise from the tree woke me up,” said White, who has lived on Montecito Avenue since 1970 and was widowed by the death five years ago of her husband, career educator Russell White.
The tree was the substantial Douglas fir in the closest neighbor’s yard that crashed down when the wind snapped its trunk. Peering out her bedroom window on the second floor, White saw flames near the fallen tree.
As she headed for the bedroom door she glanced at the clock. It was 10 minutes past midnight.
“I just tore down the stairs and grabbed the hose where I knew it was,” she said.
Flames had spread to a live oak and a bank of blackberry vines just beyond her driveway. As she sprayed water, White braced herself against the wind.
“Never have I seen wind like that,” she said.
She’d been so intent on getting to the flames and preventing them from rising into the neighborhood’s thick tree canopy she hadn’t stopped to call 911. Across-the-street neighbor Mark Quattrocchi, the prominent Sonoma County architect, did.
He’d looked out a window after smelling smoke and hearing wind. He called for help then ran across the street and found Shirley White working to keep flames out of trees.
Quattrocchi offered to take the hose, and she handed it to him. He stepped closer and trained water at flames ascending a tree.
“I just knew with those winds that I had to get it down and get it down fast,” he said. Several other neighbors appeared from their homes.
Quattrocchi was still spraying water when an engine and ladder truck with the Santa Rosa Fire Department pulled up. The firefighters grasped at once that when the fir tree fell it knocked down a power line, and contact with it could be deadly.
White recalls the firefighters shouting, “Get back! Get away!”
All the neighbors backed off. Firefighters drenched the flames, then left.
White and Quattrocchi and their neighbors returned to their homes - they didn’t know then, about 12:30 a.m., of the monstrous fire that had roared into Santa Rosa from near Calistoga.
Maybe a half-hour later, neighbor Nobby Clark saw that the fire near White’s house had come back to life. His wife, Stacy, phoned 911 and was told firefighters were stretched too thin to return to Montecito Heights.
Clark and his 15-year-old son, Owen, hastened to the reawakened fire and trained water on it. Other neighbors joined them. The flames were doused a second time.
The neighbors returned again to their homes. Something over an hour later, they were ordered to evacuate. The Tubbs fire, unrelated to their midnight fire except for the common wind that fed them, had exploded.
Shirley White went to stay with a daughter in Berkeley. Neighbors Steven and Angela Gelber found a room at a Santa Rosa hotel.
Steven Gelber was in the hotel elevator with a man wearing a Santa Rosa Fire Department T-shirt. Gelber said the man asked him where he’d been evacuated from.
Gelber replied, “Montecito Heights” and the man said, “That was a disaster waiting to happen.”
But the Tubbs fire did not reach there. Once the residents were allowed back, they rejoiced their neighborhood was spared and some spoke of how hugely fortunate it was that White and others had put down the midnight fire from the downed line.
Said Quattrocchi, “No question, all of our lives would have been different if that fire had grown. I don’t think I’d have a house right now, and my friends and neighbors wouldn’t.”
Since everyone returned home, Shirley White has received a bottle of wine and other expressions of gratitude from neighbors who regard her as a hero. She reminds them she wasn’t alone and, anyway, “You would have done the same.”
As she recalls the good fortune and communal effort that saved Montecito Heights, she hurts from knowing suffering continues for so many people who lost their homes, even their entire neighborhoods, that woefully windy Sunday night and Monday morning.

This beautiful string of red sandalwood prayer beads can be worn as a necklace, wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet, or it can be used for japa mantra chanting practice. The beads are joined closely together with traditionally knotted thread, and finished with a flowing red tassel. Red sandalwood is commonly referred to as rosewood, and is a much-prized component of ritual malas, and it is specifically said to aid in relaxation and the reduction of excessive thoughts and nervous energy.
Malas are symbols of the never-ending cycle of eternity and are beloved of many deities. Sandalwood is especially sacred to Shiva and to Ganesha, the Lord of Success and the remover of obstacles. Malas are often worn for purification, for protection, and for uplifting the mind, body, and spirit.

Since the middle of the last century, spending and debt in the United States have increased. The dramatic growth can be attributed to many factors, but the passage of the 1974 Budget Reform and Impoundment Control Act represents a key turning point in United States’ fiscal history. It is time for serious reconsideration of the system that has developed in the years since Congress last remade its budgeting process.
The Budget Act passed after conflict between the Executive and the Legislature. The President’s ability to ignore congressional will by refusing to fund projects, programs, or reforms was restricted heavily, but the resulting congressional budgeting process has become increasingly complex.
Scholars have suggested that the 1974 Budget Act fundamentally changed the rules of the game to favor increased spending and a growing deficit. And indeed, since the 1970s, the budget deficit has grown from about 1 percent of U.S. GDP to an average of 3.1 percent over the past three decades and is currently at historic highs.
Responsible, on-time budgeting is almost unheard of in modern times. In the words of Heritage Foundation scholar Patrick Knudsen, “lawmakers no longer miss budget deadlines; they breach them deliberately and regularly.” Instead of being able to attempt substantial budgetary reform or discipline, legislators often avoid money-saving reforms in favor of legislation that avoids total impasse.
For this reason, the Institute for Spending Reform produced a groundbreaking two-part study, first examining the impact of the Act with an original synthetic control study, and then studying one of its potential unintended consequences: The partisan allocations of federal dollars. Summaries of each appear below.
The 1974 Budget Act marked a turning point in U.S. budgeting history. With the Act, Congress decisively asserted its fiscal power, becoming more independent from the President in developing the budget and appropriating funds. Lawmakers at the time believed that the status quo, wherein Congress approved the budget in a piecemeal fashion, improperly limited their authority. While rising deficits and debts put pressure on Washington to restrain them, the President’s most direct method for cutting spending – impoundment – caused the conflict between Congress and the President that boiled over and led to the Budget Act. In this paper, we set out to discover how this compromise, the 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act (or 1974 Budget Act), ultimately impacted spending and debt. More specifically we use a synthetic control model to test the alternative – what would have happened without the Act? In short, we find that after 1974, public debt-to-GDP and public expenditures-to-GDP both increased, but less than what they would have without it.
In passing the 1974 Budget Act, Congress fundamentally reshaped the federal budgeting and appropriations process for generations to come, but along with this change came several related, unintended consequences that continue to have an impact today. The Act asserted Congressional power and independence from the Executive after a history marked with piecemeal decision-making and overriding Presidential power. Part I of this study suggested that the 1974 Budget Act decreased federal spending the years immediately following the passage – after which federal spending increased, but by less than it would have otherwise.
In this paper, we consider another potential outcome: Whether the new power structure made federal grantmaking more partisan. In other words, was the Executive branch incentivized to use these grants to curry favor and encourage passage of Presidential budget priorities? We find evidence that having both Senators or the Governor in the same political party as the President has increased grants given to states after the 1974 Budget Act.

GRETNA – Two local police departments are being sued by a woman who claims after she recovered her vehicle due to an armed robbery she was pulled over and accused of stealing it because it had not been removed from a stolen vehicle database.
Brittany Jarreau filed suit against the New Orleans Police Department and the Kenner Police Department in the 24th Judicial District Court on Feb. 25.
Jarreau alleges she and her 3-year-old daughter were about to enter their apartment located at 1401 Chimney Wood Lane in New Orleans around 10 p.m. on March 19, 2013 when two armed assailants threatened to kill her child and demanded the keys to her 2010 Toyota Camry before taking off in the vehicle. The plaintiff asserts she immediately reported the crime to the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and over a month later on May 21, 2013 the stolen vehicle was recovered from 3001 Tupelo St. in Kenner, which was believed to be the address of one of the gunmen.
Jarreau claims that after finding the vehicle representatives from the Kenner Police Department (KPD) contacted her and told her the man who was found to be in possession of the vehicle said he had let her borrow it, which she denied. The NOPD then arranged to meet with the plaintiff at the address where the vehicle had been located despite the possibility that the gunman and his family and friends would be able to identify and retaliate against her.
The plaintiff claims that after being instructed to drive the car home she found the alleged thief had left a gun in the vehicle as well as groceries and his girlfriend’s purse, which were secured by the KPD after she notified them. Afterward Jarreau asserts she was told by KPD officers to take her car and go home and that she did not need any paperwork.
After taking the car home and subsequently driving it the next day, the plaintiff claims she was suddenly surrounded by Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies who pulled her over, approached her car with their weapons drawn and then forcibly removed her from the vehicle and held her at gun point before realizing that the car, which was still reported as stolen, belonged to her.
Jarreau asserts that she suffered severe emotional distress due to the incident and had to be taken to a nearby hospital where she was diagnosed with anxiety and given medication.
The defendants are accused of badly mishandling the case, making the plaintiff the target of law enforcement agencies, failing to secure the vehicle at the crime scene, failing to keep the plaintiff safe from the crime scene, failing to use due diligence in reporting the criminal case activity, failing to inspect the vehicle, failing to report the recovery of the vehicle, failing to recover the access number for the vehicle from the National Crime Information Center, failing to report accurate and correct information regarding the vehicle, failing to follow proper procedures and failing to follow-up to check if the vehicle was still listed as stolen after being recovered.
An unspecified amount in damages is sought for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and loss of consortium.
Jarreau is represented by attorney Adam S. Lambert of New Orleans.
The case has been assigned to Division P Judge Lee V. Faulkner.
Case no. 735-850.

Disgraced former Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel claimed that Kathryn Dennis gave their son fetal alcohol syndrome.
That was just a fraction of what he had to say about his (first) baby mama in their custody war, which has been nothing but ugly.
And the latest development, which we learned about this week, is undoubtedly going to be a hard pill for Kathryn to swallow.
According to The Sun, Kathryn Dennis has temporarily lost custody of both of her children to Ravenel. You read that correctly.
For now, Kathryn is only allowed supervised visitation with Kensie and Saint, every other weekend. You read that correctly.
The rest of the time, both children are with their father.
Specifically, an insider shares: "She has supervised visitation during the day Saturday and Sunday every other weekend."
That visitation may become even more complicated for Kathryn, 29, and Thomas, 58, who were never married.
Thomas plans to move to Aiken, South Carolina.
Thomas proposed this plan to the judge (as was widely reported at the time) while requesting full custody.
The hearing at which this matter was decided took place on February 9.
The temporary custody order was filed by the court on Februay 25.
While no one truly knows what goes on behind closed doors, many details of the custody battle were widely reported.
As such, on December 18, Kathryn filed a motion to seal the custody battle from the eyes of the celebrity gossip media.
The request was approved.
This means that the temporary custody order is under seal, and we’re left guessing as to how this outcome was reached.
In other words, the reasons behind Kathryn’s loss of custody to Thomas freaking Ravenel are not publicly available.
Additionally, Kathryn’s attorney has thus far declined to comment.
As we reported at the beginning of their latest custody battle, it was Thomas who requested this change.
Their joint custody, he claimed, no longer worked.
He wanted primary custody, and he accused Kathryn of drug abuse and of neglecting the children.
Reportedly, it was on a trip to North Carolina with Kathryn and her boyfriend Chleb Ravenell that Thomas observed alleged cocaine use.
Apparently, Thomas told friends of his that not only was there a lot of coke being done, but Kathryn left some within reach of the children.
Kathryn’s response in court was: "I do not use cocaine, so naturally I have not left any out for our children to access."
Kathryn also agreed in court to the request that she take a drug test – conditionally.
The first condition of this, though, was that Thomas pay for it.
The second condition was that Thomas take one himself.
Those are very fair terms, or at least it seemed like it.
Thomas told the court that he hired a man to conduct surveillance on the mother of his (first two) children.
Allegedly, this mercenary observed Kathryn leaving her children home alone unsupervised on multiple occassions.
While these allegedly took place last summer after midnight, it is difficult to imagine a parent doing such a thing.
In court, Thomas claimed that Kensie and Saint were seen alone in front of the house during one alleged absence.
Elsewhere, he claimed that a neighbor called the police after finding Saint wandering around without supervision.
Kathryn replied in court that she had not left her children alone.
Instead, Kathryn said that her father had been watching her children and fallen asleep — once.
After that incident in which Saint ended up outside on his own, Kathryn said, her father was no longer entrusted to babysitting duties.
Thomas also laid into Kathryn’s record when it came to getting the children to school on time and keeping them dressed in clean, well-fitting clothing.
Obviously, these are extremely serious allegations that cannot and should not be taken lightly, to say the least.
Because the case is sealed, we cannot know what other arguments were made (or refuted) in this custody battle.
We can hope that the court made the right call.
At the same time, there’s no denying this:
Many fans will likely hear "full custody to Thomas Ravenel" and have serious doubts as to how that could be the right best decision under any circumstance.


Mayor Bill de Blasio, Comptroller Scott M. Stringer and other trustees of the City’s $189 Billion (USD) pension funds today announced a goal to divest City funds from fossil fuels within five years. New York is the first major US pension plan to do so. It’s a huge win for the global divestment movement, and the result of year’s of #DivestNY organizing by DivestInvest and dozens of local partners.
Listen to our own Clara Vondrich describe the historic divestment decision on local radio:
Or read more background from NY1: Mayor, Comptroller, Trustees Announce First-In-The-Nation Goal to Divest From Fossil Fuels
The Mayor and Comptroller will submit a joint resolution to pension fund trustees to begin analyzing ways to divest from fossil fuel owners in a responsible way that is fully consistent with fiduciary obligations. In total, the City’s five pension funds hold roughly $5 billion in the securities of over 190 fossil fuel companies. The City’s move is among the most significant divestment efforts in the world to date.

Having a budget is a great first step towards taking control of your finances, but it’s just a start. Budgets are only good intentions, and sticking to them is what really counts. That means updating your progress almost every day so that you know where you stand. Who has got time to do that?
Are you on budget, under budget, or over budget? One of your budget categories may have cost more than you expected, while another may have cost less. How much did you spend at the supermarket last time when you went shopping? Have you had unexpected extra expenses, and how does that affect your budget?
Before you start having nightmares, or worse still, ditch your budget in frustration, take three deep breaths. Now grab your mobile phone and get the tools you need for stress-free budgeting and budget tracking. With the right app to help you, you can know where your finances stand anytime, all the time! Let’s examine the best budgeting apps available right now.
If Mint isn’t on the top of a list of best apps for budgeting, it’s going to be very nearby! It’s wonderfully comprehensive. It tracks your deposits, expenses, and investments, and it synchs with your bank. If you use your debit or credit card to make your purchases, it’s automated. If you prefer cash, you must input all your purchases, but it will take seconds to do so. As you step away from the checkout, record your spending right away.
Mint categorizes spending, helping you to see if there are areas where you could improve your spending habits and save even more. You can even set up an alert to warn you when budgets are running low. An app this good usually costs you money, but Mint is completely free!
As one of the best budgeting apps out there, You Need a Budget syncs with your bank account. You allocate your available funds into categories, and bang! You can start tracking your spending. If need be, you can reallocate your funds into other categories as you go, and if you over-budget you can see exactly where you saved. It also encourages savings by showing you how long you’ve been able to hang onto money.
The app gives you a very clear picture of your current finances, but it will cost you $50 a year after a month-long free trail. However, it makes you part of a budgeting community, and that will help you to develop your money-saving mindset.
Like You Need a Budget, GoodBudget uses an “envelope” budgeting system in which you allocate your funds into categories in advance and then start tracking. You and your spouse can both sync your spending on the app, and it’s freeware – at least up to a point. A subscription fee gives you added features: more categories and longer budget history records.
When you’re pinching pennies, it’s easy to get depressed – but not if you can see your progress towards a special goal! Unsplurge works much like the other budget trackers we’ve looked at so far, but it allows you to set a goal and track your progress towards it. It’s free, but unfortunately it isn’t available for Android devices.
PocketGuard has high ratings in several budgeting app review lists, but we’d venture to say it isn’t as good as Mint. There are several similarities: it links to your bank accounts, and deducts money you’ve spent using your cards automatically, but it doesn’t rack how you spend cash, because you can’t input the information manually.
It’s big selling point is the “Can I afford it?” option, but this must be used with caution. If you have savings, it will tell you that you can afford anything up to the value of your savings whether it’s a wise purchase or not! On the upside, it’s a free app.
Is Mint unbeatable?
If you start browsing for budgeting apps, you’ll find a bewildering number of them vying for your attention. Your choice will be a personal one, but if you choose Mint, you can’t really go wrong. No matter how many reviews you read, Mint is very highly rated, and although some reviewers prefer other apps, Mint is always on their radar!

Pathophysiological rationale and prospects for using xylitol in the nutritional support of cancer patients
Abstract. The literature review considers the prospects of using five-carbon alcohol xylitol as a sugar substitute, which is an alternative to excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates.
It was found that xylitol use leads to an increase in glucose tolerance, stabilizes the metabolic situation in patients with unstable course of diabetes mellitus. It has antiketogenic properties and provides a slow but steady energy production.
The use of xylitol in parenteral nutrition promotes an increase in the content of adenosine triphosphate and other adenine nucleotides in the liver, stimulates the protein-forming and biliary excretory function of the liver, reduces the amount of free fatty acids in the blood and the production of ketone bodies.
The ability of Хylat to inhibit Warburg effect opens up new opportunities for potential improvement in the treatment results of patients with malignant tumors.
Keywords: sugar alcohols; xylitol; Warburg effect; Хylat

On December 17, 2017, my partner (now husband) and I decided to take the one last opportunity to tour the Coliseum before it was officially closed down. This is a summary of the tour, including some observations of the area and new things I have learned.
My partner is a born-and-raised Edmontonian, while I moved here when I went to university. That being said, I had a chance to go to the Coliseum a few times. First, for an Oilers game with my partner, then for a few concerts, and also another time for an Oil Kings game, during one of the nights when there was a Teddy Bear Toss.
We went there by taking public transit, which was lovely because it gave my partner greater flexibility. Also from our memory, parking in Northlands is expensive. As the years went by, traveling around by transit is a part of our date that we enjoy, since the buses and LRT vehicles are almost empty and we cozy up in our seat.
When we went to the Farewell Weekend tour, it was pretty quiet. I wonder if it is because it was the last day, or because it was pretty chilly.
The map was a useful guide to particular points of interest, and upon visiting those places, there were signs that explained the function of the area and some interesting historical or sports-related facts. Many places that are not publicly available is available for viewing this time around, such as the locker rooms and bathrooms for the athletes, the media room, fancy suites on the top floor, with a lobby that looked like a hotel.
We both forgot about the open skating opportunity, so instead, we went to the frown row, Corey sat in the penalty box, and asked me to take a photo of him pretending to be upset for being sent to the box. We spent a some time watching people skate around, while enjoying the soda and nachos we bought from the only concession stall that was open.
Afterwards, we decided to take the LRT to go to downtown instead of going home right away. At Churchill station we saw a woman painting a mural on the concourse of the LRT station. It was incredible, with patterns of what seemed to be a woman, lots of red birds, and a village and various scenery of a community. I started from a distance when he nudged me to say hello to the artist and chat about the mural. I felt shy at first but my husband reassured me that the artist might actually appreciate the chat. And he was right. I told the artist that she outline seems really interesting, that the elements she’s painted so far look incredible, and inquired her on what the painting is about. She told me that it is part of an initiative called Paint The Rails, which now had resulted to several paintings across different city’s LRT stations.
As we were already in downtown, we decided to stop by the Farmer’s Market and we arrived just in time to see the different shops close down. It’s nice to see the different types of businesses that were there, and we took some photos in front of the nice decoration that were set up in the interior of the City Hall building.
Afterwards we decided to visit the funicular for the first time, which is just a few block away by the Hotel MacDonald. We thought it was really neat and the lookout point at the bottom was great! I remember that one of the benefits of the funicular is for people with mobility aids to have a chance to see our beautiful river valley more closely. Using it ourselves made us realize and appreciate that goal.
After that we decided to head on home. As the Coliseum was accessible by transit and our detour in downtown Edmonton was also accessible by transit, we continued to use transit to head home. It was a lovely weekend date in the winter that we continued to cherish.

My dog Chow Wow is an outdoor dog, her choice not mine. The shelter were I adopted her though she might be a Chow Chow mix. Over the years I have tried to decipher her breed.
Chow loves cold weather and is always alert and suspicious. Her tongue is covered with black spots and she looks like a small Husky. All these traits make me think she might be a Hokkaido Inu or some other Japanese breed.
From the first day I brought her home it was clear, this dog needs a job. Chow patrols our yard and keeps our other dog in line. She is also a fine cat herder even though the cats don’t appreciate this skill.
Recently I read Gary Paulsen’s book Winterdance, The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod. In the book Paulsen recounts how he built sled dog team. His naiveté and knack for “doing things the hard way” keeps the reader entertained and offers many laugh out loud moments.
I had heard of the Iditarod race, long sled dog race with crazy weather and lots of snow. A race where human beings test what they were made of.
Now that I’ve read Paulsen’s book I know the race is ALL about the dogs. The human in the sled behind the team is nothing more than the pit crew.
The whole time I was reading Winterdance my dog Chow Wow was in my thoughts. She would have loved pulling a sled, as long as she was lead dog. The girl would never stand for second string.
Chow is about to turn nine years old and is slowing down. She won’t get a chance to pull a sled. This winter she is spending less time outdoors. I have turned the heat off in my bedroom so she can sleep comfortably. Just as Mr. Paulsen found his lead dog Cookie to be one of those “once in a life time” dogs, I feel Chow Wow is also a stand out special dog. And to think, I found her at a shelter.
Winterdance is a fun and fascinating read. This book is about so much more than s sled dog racing. It’s about the writer’s love of the outdoors, his admiration for wild animals and figuring out what makes a dog tick.
The Iditarod is a few short months away. I plan to follow the race this year. I can’t wait to see the dogs in action!

The slaughter of pigs in the EU is currently around 250 million animals per year. During the last year 38 slaughterhouse groups were identified, each with activity of over one million animals per year, representing 52% of total swine slaughter in the EU-27. Of these, the first 13, with more tan 2 million pigs slaughtered each year and situated in only 7 countries, accumulate 38% of the European total.
Within the ranking of the largest slaughterhouse groups in 2009 we can find the Dutch company Vion in first place, with a total of 20,2 million pigs slaughtered per year, followed by Danish Crown with 18,8 million and Tönnies Fleisch with 13,9 million. Within this ranking we can also find 4 Spanish groups (Campofrío, El Pozo, Jorge SA and Grupo Vall Companys).

One need not be a concert pianist to take the time and effort to develop a substantial repertoire. What does “repertoire” mean anyway? In short, the repertoire is a body of works or songs that forms the pianist’s core or foundation. (Technically, a “song” has lyrics while a “work” or “piece” has no lyrics. The word “song” is often misused.)
Many pianists believe that one must keep all pieces “under the fingers” or readily playable at all times and that this constitutes one’s repertoire. I believe, however, that repertoire implies something more all-encompassing. Let us now examine the term and explore the most efficient ways to develop, expand, and nurture it:
5 Golden Rules of Building a Substantial Piano Repertoire
1. Practice, practice, practice
2. Micro-cycle works you are currently practicing
3. Macro-cycle works throughout your life
4. Consider that no work is ever “finished.”
5. Constantly add books and sheet music to your library
The first rule of practicing hardly needs explaining. To become better and more proficient at anything, one must do it, do it often, and love doing it with all one’s heart and soul. Tiger Woods did not become a great golfer by nibbling on snacks and watching TV. The world’s best surgeons did not get there by hanging out in bars and drinking beer.
Likewise, an aspiring pianist wishing to have fun and success playing hundreds of songs or works will never get there by neglecting to practice regularly. Ideally, one should practice not out of obligation but rather out of the love of music and heart-burning desire to improve Web Posting Mart.
The second rule of micro-cycling works constitutes the pianist’s short-term plan, which may range anywhere from a few weeks to several months or perhaps a year at the most. This is what most people imply with the word “repertoire” since it is the timeframe in which one could sit down at any time and play (preferably from memory) a set number of works. I have found the best results for micro-cycling by focusing on about five works at a time.
For example, I will often spend an entire week practicing exclusively one work (like a Joplin rag), the next week exclusively another work (like a Mozart sonata), and the next week exclusively another work (like a Liszt étude). Then, I may not even touch them at all for two months and, upon returning to one of them, it feels like “meeting an old friend,” which accelerates its re-learning phase.
What once took a week to accomplish now takes only a couple of days. Ideally, the pianist should strive to learn, forget, and relearn weekly and daily cycles. This is the eternal and never-ending plan I follow when practicing and preparing for my YouTube videos.

The third rule of macro-cycling works constitutes the pianist’s long-term plan, ranging from one to ten years. A thirteen-year-old just starting usually does not realize that what is learned in these formative years sets his/her musical foundation for life. Writing this article at the age of 47 and having begun piano at the young age of 6, I am constantly amazed at just how resilient and powerful the human brain really is.
For example, I began practicing Mendelssohn’s “Rondo Capriccioso” this week after being dormant and totally untouched for 27 years. I was shocked when it came back to me memorized again in only three days. What took as long as three months to learn well at the age of 20 took me only three days to relearn as well or better at 47. This is one of the intriguingly satisfying aspects of music and piano repertoire.
All music ultimately remains in your conscience and forms your “musical identity” until the day you leave this earth. It is never too late to learn piano, develop a repertoire, and tap into the power of one’s musical memories. After I work on the “Rondo Capriccioso” for a week and record it for YouTube, I will most likely not touch it again for several years.

Violence in Basra leaves people dead and wounded, forcing the Church to suspend cultural activities and catechism
At least eight people have died and 56 injured in demonstrations over the past week. Residents are protesting high unemployment, water shortages and the lack of services. For Mgr Habib, the situation is bound to get worse if the government does not take action. Masses and liturgical activities are still being held.
Basra (AsiaNews) – As a result of the deadly protests that have hit southern Iraq "we have had to stop all cultural activities and catechism" in our churches and parishes "to protect the lives of our faithful, especially children," said Mgr Alnaufali Habib Jajou, Chaldean archbishop of Basra, southern Iraq. Still, despite the situation, “Masses and other liturgical activities continue," the prelate told AsiaNews.
For more than a week, southern Iraq’s main city has been the scene of violent protests against corruption and poor governance. At least eight people have died and scores have been injured.
This is part of a broader wave of social protest that has been particularly strong in the country’s southern region. Beginning in Basra, Iraq’s most important oil region, which is suffering from water shortages, the protest has spread like wildfire to much of the Shia south.
Demonstrators are particularly angry at the poor infrastructure, high unemployment (10 per cent according to official figures but up to 60 per cent among young people), and widespread corruption.
Security forces have clashed with protesters after the latter tried to blockade Basra’s oil wells as well as some government buildings and the headquarters of political parties.
Iraqi premier Haider al-Abadi spoke about the violence, saying that using the protest to "burn public buildings" is "an attempt to push the country back". He also blamed "elements of organised crime".
Senior government officials today announced investments in schools, electricity and water resources, including US$ 3 billion for Basra province. But so far this has not been enough to quell the protest.
To curb the violence, the government has imposed a curfew on the most important towns in the southern region. Internet access and social media have also been blocked; the latter have been one of the means by which the protest has spread in Baghdad and the southern provinces.
The authorities fear that the protest – which has received the "blessing" of Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani – can spread even further and reach the streets of the capital.
The Basra region alone holds around 90 per cent of the country's oil and gas, but only 1 per cent of the workforce comes from the area, as oil companies prefer foreign workers.
An additional factor is the ban on growing rice and maize in a traditional farming area subject to a severe drought.
"The situation is not good at all,” Mgr Habib explained. “Tensions are bound to increase if the government does not introduce significant changes to its policies.".
The water crisis has had devastating effects "in southern Iraq, one of the hottest regions in the world, where temperatures can reach 53 Celsius."
The prelate noted that many have been killed and wounded, some "in Basra, where the protest began".
"People are demonstrating against unemployment, poverty, the lack of public services, power and water shortages, pollution, deterioration of the general situation, this despite the fact that the area is rich in oil and gas”.
In recent days, "we heard gunshots and saw the police use water cannons to prevent demonstrators from entering government buildings and oil company headquarters."

Writing at Vox, Zack Beauchamp (an Andrew Sullivan blog vet) makes the case for the Trump phenomenon's affinity to rightwing racist and xenophobic movements which infest European politics, notably in Hungary, the Netherlands, and France. Their anti-immigration fury propelled Britain's vote for Brexit. He calls his piece White Riot. It's terrific; do read it. I'll save my caveats for later ...
I want to share at some length one section of it I found particularly interesting and then look at what the experience of California since 1994 suggests how we went past this condition of rampant political hate.
Beauchamp names Trump a "harbinger" of a protracted struggle that democratic societies will need to wage against racist nationalism. And, from social science research about what conditions create the terrain for these movements to arise, he begins with a story:
He turns to the work of Roger Petersen, a political scientist at MIT.
My emphasis. This describes what happened in the state of California in the 1990s when a large fraction of the white population realized that soon the Golden State would be a "majority-minority" place. The actual demographic tipping point probably arrived in 1999; that awkward locution meant that no racial group amounted to a numerical majority. The prospect of tipping drove a large fraction of the white electorate (still dominant) a little nuts. In 1994, they tried by initiative vote to outlaw immigration; the feds eventually said "not your business." In 1996, lest someone get in line ahead of them, they outlawed state affirmative action programs. This one stuck and to this day the state university system may not consider racial balance in admissions. In 1998, they severely restricted bilingual education in public schools substituting English-only immersion; we get a chance to repeal that one by approving Prop. 58 in November. In 2000, they passed Prop. 21 to lock up "juvenile offenders" -- code for black and brown young people -- and throw away the keys.
And then, to the surprise, of just about everyone, the deluge of attempts to reshape the nature of the state for the benefit of old white people largely stopped. White people were still by far the largest demographic in the electorate; they (we) are projected to continue to be so until 2040 by which time several new generations will have come of age.
So what happened to staunch the racist floodtide? I think I can name three factors; there are undoubtably more.
1) Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown. We got lucky. I know, we made utter fools of ourselves by putting a cartoon character in the Governor's Mansion in 2003 in a recall election. In 2000 we'd elected a dim, gray professional Democratic politician whose claim to the office was that he was less bad than the Republican. Arnold bowled him over -- but, with a Democratic state legislature to keep his worst plutocratic instincts in check, he proved not to be a particularly destructive kind of Republican. He genuinely believed in climate crisis and put the state on a good path toward reducing carbon emissions. And he was an immigrant himself, no hater of foreigners. In Jerry Brown, the state had an experienced re-tred Governor to succeed Arnold. He's a frustrating figure, not playing much more nicely with the Democratic legislature than his predecessor. But over two terms, a tremendous amount of progressive civil rights, labor, education, and even tax legislation has been enacted. California has a functioning government. At the tipping point, we lucked out in state leadership.
2) Organized labor partners with community groups. Back in 2000, not much could be said for the state Democratic Party. But California still had quite a few functional unions. And the political leadership of those unions began to understand that, unless they could make common cause with community organizations, especially in communities of color, they'd have a hard time moving their agenda. This wasn't easy and still isn't. Labor has most of the money and the political experience, but some of the community groups have developed some real electoral skills and lend both people and legitimacy to progressive causes. The Democrats have even re-vivified themselves. In consequence, in California, there has developed some sense of what a broad front of the 99 percent might look like -- fractious but possible.
3) Forty percent of California whites never drank the racist Koolaid. This is important and not obvious. For whatever reasons and they are varied and they aren't all pretty, a lot of white voters decided they didn't want the society shaped to dominate communities of color that California Republicans were offering. The GOP is vestigial in California; their hellish vision has been repudiated. California has plenty of political fights (think Honda v. Khanna for example) but the big ones play out within the Democratic coalition. California has its share of racists (in your local police, perhaps?) but Trump-style white nationalism is a non-starter.
The project is to move the rest of the country to catch up. Here's where I fault the mainstream media. They still act as if California was the land of fruits and nuts, of hippies and commune dwellers. Take a look around folks. We're a far better place than we were twenty years ago and that makes us allergic to Trump pollution.
