State of Water
California’s water picture continues to look bleak following the April 1st report that put the state’s snow level at 32 percent of normal. That date is considered to be the peak of the snow season. The State Water Project, which provides about 30 percent of the water that flows through the Metropolitan Water District to Southern California (MWD), measures surface storage and anticipated snow melt to determine the amount of water that will be shipped from the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta to agencies such as the MWD. The 2014 allocation stands at zero due to the combined deficiency in the storage and snow measurements.
For farmers in the state that depend solely on the State Water Project it has been estimated by the California Farm Water Coalition that as many as 800,000 acres of farmland will not receive irrigation water this year. The impacts to employment and the economy of many communities in the San Joaquin Valley are expected to be terribly damaging.
In San Diego County the 2014 outlook is not dismal at the moment despite calls for voluntary conservation by the San Diego County Water Authority (CWA). Two decades of investment by MWD and CWA in storage, water transfers, canal lining, and conservation programs has insulated much of Southern California from a drastic water shortfall. However, continued drought in the state will eventually take a toll on all water users.
For San Diego County’s farmers the high price of reliability, that is easily absorbed by the public, has been a challenge. A more than 50 percent reduction in agricultural water use in ten years has been driven by escalating prices. Much of the savings came from new found efficiencies, but unfortunately a significant amount of the reduction is a result of tree crops being taken out of production as victims of water pricing. Adding to the rising price of water was a 2008 decision by the MWD to end their program that gave farmers a reduced price for water in exchange for agreement to accept interruptions of water deliveries in a time of shortage to protect municipal and industrial users from having to absorb cuts. The California Avocado Commission is currently seeking a dialogue with MWD to once again install a pricing mechanism that will help protect farming.
Fortunately, in San Diego County the CWA has seen its way to maintain its differential pricing program for farmers that results in a significant benefit in exchange for accepting a lower level of service in times of water supply shortage. The program is known as the Transitional Special Agricultural Water Rate. Composed of two parts, the TSAWR allows farmers to avoid newer costs connected to CWA’s supply and storage enhancement programs. This differential pricing program is not permanent, and the supply component is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2014. If the termination occurs the net result will be an approximate price increase of 8 to 10 percent for farmers in the program.
The San Diego County Farm Bureau and the California Avocado Commission have made a written request to the CWA board of directors to keep the TSAWR intact through 2016 when the program is scheduled for review. On April 24 the CWA’s Administration and Finance Committee will consider whether to move the request to the full board for consideration at a future meeting. San Diego County Farm Bureau and the California Avocado Commission will be present in an attempt to convince the committee members that a strong agricultural economy is good for all water users.
San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative distributed the below press release early this year reporting on the increasing number of schools sourcing produce from local growers.
San Diego, CA—A flourishing farm to school movement is afoot in San Diego County, according to a report released by Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP). The State of Farm to School in San Diego County Report, which surveyed San Diego County school districts on local procurement and programming practices, found that 18 districts purchase local, regional, and/or California grown products and 11 districts purchase directly from a grower. The report includes responses from 24 of San Diego County’s 42 districts, representing small rural and large urban communities, 80% of all school meals and snacks served in San Diego County, and more than $7.3 million in annual produce purchases.
“Farm to school efforts are an important part of addressing today’s obesity epidemic,” said Fourth District County Supervisor Ron Roberts. “Getting more local produce into our schools helps ensure county growers thrive. It also ensures that we have local production of the fresh foods that promote our children’s health and academic success. The State of Farm to School in San Diego County Report helps advance this work across San Diego County.”
Fruit and vegetable production in San Diego County was valued at $513 million in 2012. Current studies show that purchasing locally produced items can return twice as many dollars to the local economy as conventional purchasing practices.
“Farm to School is a great boon to San Diego County growers. Directing even a small percentage of schools’ produce purchases to local fruits and vegetables could offer major economic returns for local growers and our community,” said Eric Larson, executive director of the San Diego Farm Bureau.
The report was conducted by the San Diego County Farm to School Taskforce, a subcommittee of the San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative, facilitated by CHIP, in partnership with Whole Foods Market and the San Diego Hunger Coalition. The Farm to School Taskforce conducted the survey to gather critical data that could help inform and support local farm to school activities.
The report found that in addition to growing interest and activity in farm to school, numerous challenges and opportunities still exist that limit and/or create opportunities to expand farm to school. Delivery, ordering methods, volume requirements, food safety, and liability were identified as common challenges. Districts identified competitive pricing, partially processed product, and food safety assurances as important strategies for encouraging procurement of local, regional, and California-grown produce.
Other key findings include:
- 17 districts have a designated staff member who serves as a grower contact
- 7 districts have defined farm to school goals
- 7 districts provide farm to school education
- 7 districts offer garden programming
- 7 districts host grower visits, farm tours, etc.
The report provides recommendations to systematically advance farm to school practice across the county. For example, the report urges the top three produce distributors that service San Diego County school districts to standardize and accelerate farm to school practices. The report also advises school districts to join the Farm to School Taskforce, as the survey revealed statistically significant relationships between Taskforce participation and indicators of local procurement and farm to school programming. Data from the report will further be used to create individual school district profiles to help growers and distributors better understand local produce opportunities within schools.
“As a food service director, I couldn’t be more excited about this report,” said Trieste Chiquete, 2013 Farm to School Taskforce co-chair and director of child nutrition at Coronado Unified School District. “My main goal is to serve students healthy meals so they can be successful learners. Farm to school helps me achieve this goal. Our students get excited when they learn the produce on their plates is from local growers, and they can taste the freshness. The State of Farm to School in San Diego County Report identifies the importance of collaboration and strategies key stakeholders can adopt to make farm to school the norm, and, ultimately, improve the health of our community.”

Funding the Incentive to Become a Farmer
San Diego County Farm Bureau News is published monthly by the San Diego County Farm Bureau, a nonprofit trade organization whose mission is to represent San Diego agriculture through public relations, education and public policy advocacy in order to promote the economic viability of agriculture balanced with appropriate management of natural resources. This newsletter and the activities sponsored by San Diego County Farm Bureau are paid for by the annual dues of its membership. © San Diego County Farm Bureau.

San Diego County Farm Bureau
President: Julie Walker
Knock on someone’s door, sit down and talk face-to-face with them, and they’re more likely to listen to- and remember what you have to say. That’s the strategy that CFBF and CA County Farm Bureaus use every year during Sacramento Legislative Visit Days. This year, on March 11th, 108 Farm Bureau members visited 118 legislators to drive home what those legislators needed to know about California bills and issues that are important to agriculture. San Diego Farm Bureau participants Neil Nagata, Alysha Stehly, Pierre Sleiman, Eric Larson, and I were there to be sure our Southern California voices were heard.
In all, we visited four assembly members Brian Maienschein, Rocky Chavez, and Brian Jones, as well as Senator Mark Wyland. There were numerous issues to discuss, the principal being support for a Water Bond that includes a continuously appropriated water storage budget of at least 3 billion dollars. They heard our call and understood the absolute necessity of our request. While there were several others of urgency on our agenda that day, one stood out of particular interest to me, support for funding the Agricultural Career Technical Education Incentive Grant in the 2014 - 2015 budget.
Every month, at our Board of Directors’ meeting, we are honored with a visit from area FFA (Future Farmers of America) high school students. Without fail, they are always prepared, professional, friendly and accomplished. I went to their website to see if I could find out more about them and read their mission, which proudly states “through agricultural education, FFA students are provided opportunities for leadership development, personal growth and career success” the key words here being “through agricultural education.”
Today, the proposed California state budget shifts $4.1 million of Proposition 98 General Fund money from Agricultural Career Technical Education Incentive Grant programs to the Local Control Program. What this means is that without this funding, “schools would no longer have the incentive to offer agriculture courses as they are not a part of the state-mandated graduation coursework, and are not a part of the school accountability measure. Without funding, these courses and programs will likely disappear from class offerings in most schools.”
According to CFBF, “Career Technical Agricultural Education is an important educational element to California’s students, having over 1,285 courses that are UC/CSU approved for admission to California’s university system. Enrollment in these programs has increased from 21,000 students in the mid 1980’s to over 74,000 students today.” We must not jeopardize this momentum by stripping the away the incentive for agricultural programs.
We recently celebrated our 100th year as a Farm Bureau here in San Diego County. As great as this accomplishment is, we must focus on the future, our next hundred years, and support ways to educate and encourage our youth to continue what was begun so long ago. There is a resurgence of interest in agriculture within our culture today that we must not allow to fallow because of a lack of incentive. Today’s FFA students will become the young entrepreneurial farmers of tomorrow who will drive local agriculture into the future. We must continue to provide the incentive for them to do so.

For years observers have lamented the lack of young people choosing production agriculture as a career. At the same time the documentation is clear that the average age of farmers continues to inch towards 60 with the United State Department of Agriculture reporting that half of all farmers in the U.S. are likely to retire in the next decade. It is a widening gap that left uncured would lead to empty fields. However, a funny thing is happening on the path to bareness.
It can have many names – new farmer movement, urban farming, beginning farmers, or farm incubation – but they all signify the same thing; there is a new and growing interest in farming.
Here in San Diego County the examples are all around us. Programs to train new farmers are active and include Archi’s Acres, the Leichtag Foundation, Wild Willow Farm, and the International Rescue Committee. The participants in these programs might not fit the stereotype of conventional farmers and they are quick to talk about urban farming, local markets, value-added, sustainability, bio-dynamics, and organic standards. But what really counts is they want to grow crops and they want to do it here.
Wanting to be a farmer and actually pulling it off includes successful navigation of the economics and land acquisition. The economics will be particular to each individual and will determine whether the new farming venture thrives or fails. Even if the financial resources for putting plants in the ground or hooves on the ground can be put in place, finding the land can be another matter. The reality is that land in San Diego County is very expensive and not likely affordable to the farmer who is just stepping out. At the same time acres of land lay untilled across the county. Can we connect land owners with new farmers through affordable leases?
The negatives can’t be ignored whether it is reluctance to be a landlord or trepidation at becoming involved with a fledgling farm operation that could fail. On the positive side idle land can be put to productive use and new inspired farmers just might find their foothold and help drive San Diego County’s next farming chapter.

From the Ag Commissioner
Ha Dang, Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer of Weights and Measures
The organic produce is one of the fastest-growing categories in the U.S. food production industry today. San Diego County is a leader of organic farm production with 381 registered growers, up 30% from 2007. Organic growers in San Diego produce a wide variety of crops, ranging from common commodities such as oranges, grapes, and avocados, to more unusual fruits and vegetables like cherimoyas, loquats, and pineapple. Most of the organic produce grown in the County is sold to wholesalers who resell to markets nationwide. It is also sold at local venues such as restaurants, natural food stores, certified farmers markets, farm stands and Community Supported Agriculture programs.
Organic registration and certification assures the public that products have been grown and handled according to approved organic practices. All organic products sold or produced in San Diego must meet the requirements of the U.S. Organic Food Production Act of 1990 and the California Organic Products Act of 2003. These laws provide consumer protection and fair competition in the marketplace. The County Agricultural Commissioner (CAC) works with the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s (CDFA) State Organic Program (SOP) in registering organic growers, enforcing organic laws and regulations, testing for non-organic material residues, and investigating consumer complaints.
The public can count on fruits and vegetables labeled as organic to be grown using only botanical or primarily non-synthetic pest controls. Fertilizers used for organic production cannot be made with sewage sludge or synthetic ingredients, which are permitted in most conventional food production. No irradiation or genetically engineered modification is allowed. For more information regarding organic laws and regulations, visit CDFA’s SOP website at www.cdfa.ca.gov.
Organic Registration and Certification
In March 2013, CDFA launched a new web-based system for registration and documentation of inspections, sampling, and complaints. Registration includes certificate renewals, cropping system modifications or production acreage additions. One customer-friendly feature of the new system is online payment of fees by credit card, as well as other payment options. Please note: annual renewals of current operations must be now completed online. New operations are strongly encouraged to use the web-based registration application system through the SOP website at www.cdfa.ca.gov. Written applications will still be accepted using forms obtained from CDFA at (916) 900-5030 or from the CAC’s office at (858) 694-2739. The CAC’s staff review and initially approve new registrations after applications are received online from CDFA.
For more information on the Organic Program, please contact San Diego County Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures at (858) 694-2739 or visit our website at http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/awm/organic.html.

Approximately 20 members have been participating in judging contests throughout the state. The Small Engines and Livestock Team has been enjoying success with a number of 1st place wins. The chapter will be attending the 2014 San Diego County Fair. Many members are signing up to participate in livestock and poultry projects including beef, sheep, swine, calves, goats, turkeys, and chickens. Several Valley Center FFA members will be entering agricultural mechanics projects as well as floral design projects at the fair. We also have a number of members participating in the large and small animal knowledge bowls. Horticulture members are planning and designing a youth landscape that will also compete at this year’s fair.
Many members of the Valley Center FFA have spent the year attending leadership conferences, judging contests, holding plant sales, tri-tip sales, agriculture mechanic projects, school farm improvements, and community service activities.
The Valley Center FFA Chapter had three members earn their California State FFA Degrees in January. They include; Jenifer Marshall, George Nicholas, and Tabetha Witchell. The Valley Center FFA Chapter also had a Southern Region Proficiency winner. Harrison Bauer, was both the San Diego FFA Section and Southern Region Vegetable Production Placement Proficiency winner for his heirloom hothouse tomato job.
The Valley Center FFA looks forward to a continued exciting and successful 2013-2014 year. Thank you to all of our supporters and the community of Valley Center.

Crop of the Month - Cherimoyas
Nagata Brothers Farms, Inc. is one of the county’s largest producers of cherimoyas which are a very specialized fruit requiring intense hand labor to bring it to market. Neil Nagata helps us understand a little bit about why this unique fruit hasn’t caught on quite like the avocado.
Is there a top commercial variety produced in San Diego?
I am not sure that varieties are tracked on cherimoyas as they are a minor crop. We grow mostly white, bay and booth varieties.
Can you tell us a little bit about cherimoyas?
Cherimoyas are an interesting tropical fruit which have been described as a sweet creamy textured fruit that has a peach-banana flavor. They have 28% sugar content. They need to be hand pollinated as the female receptive state is in the morning and pollen producing state in the evenings. Although they can be expensive to purchase, they are very expensive to grow. The water use, hand pollination and pruning every year make the crop very costly.
What is the planting and harvesting timeline for cherimoyas in San Diego County?
Cherimoyas are tropical trees which take around five years from planting to the first harvest. Since we have great weather in San Diego County, we can plant anytime, but usually in the spring. They like frost free areas and are subject to damage in windy areas. Harvest usually begins around November and ends in April.
Is there a peak season in cherimoya production? Is there a time when demand increases?
Peak season is usually March and best demand is usually in January.
What is the general market?
Market is many ethnic groups from tropical areas. It still is a very specialized commodity.
What are some of the challenges of producing cherimoyas in San Diego County?
Costs of production and water use. Most local/stand markets are not good because there are many one acre or less growers in San Diego County who sell their product directly.
Are there specific challenges unique to this crop?
Hand pollination is the most difficult aspect of the plant. Production is very sensitive to heat and windy conditions. You can lose more than half of a crop due to heat at the fruit set.
Is there anything unique about San Diego County grown cherimoyas?
As with most produce we grow, the best weather grows the best fruit.
Are there aspects of cherimoyas that you find interesting or fascinating?
Cherimoyas are a fruit that some people love and others do not care for. I have never seen such passion for liking or disliking any other type of fruit.

Mineralmaxx is an OMRI listed soil amendment and contains all 21+ minerals used by plants and 55+ trace minerals. Remineralization is gaining a new following by both growers and consumers looking for nutritional density in the food they eat and the feed they provide their animals. Plants use minerals and these minerals have to be replaced. Organic is not enough, nutritional density is the next step in providing the highest quality product to your consumer. Not only do plants need minerals for healthy growth but the benefit flows to the consumer and adds value to the growers produce.
Mineralmaxx mines a deposit of Calcium Montmorillonite located in Southern Nevada that has been classified as one of the top deposits in Nevada by the Nevada School of Mines. Calcium Montmorillonite has been used for over 3000 years by people and its benefits are well known. It is used today in pharmaceuticals, beauty products, toothpaste, animal food and countless other products. The use in agriculture has been limited by cost but Mineralmaxx has changed that and is able to provide this material in a cost effective manner.
Mineralmaxx mines, refines and delivers a material that is tailored to the needs and application of its customers. Mineralmaxx screens to 1/4 minus for broadcast and nursery applications. We also screen to 200 mesh and 350 mesh or will provide the proper material for whatever application our customer requires. Mineralmaxx offers a Particle Size Analysis Test to help with application rates.
The deposit Mineralmaxx mines also has natural Perlite which can be blended with Montmorillonite to add additional Silicon in a plant available form. PAS (Plant Available Silicon) has been shown to have many benefits including strengthening cell walls to provide greater tolerance to drought, cold and heat, and providing protection from mites, fungus and root rot. Montmorillonite clay, when used to balance soil, will provide greater water retention leading to less water use and greater efficiency in your irrigation program.
Mineralmaxx can be ordered online at our website, www.mineral-maxx.com, in a 15 lb. box for $29.95 delivered to your door by the USPS. Mineralmaxx also has 2000 lb.

Trump-friendly Republicans hired a group to investigate the 2020 election results in Arizona’s largest County. They spun lies about double voting, deleted data and other malfeasance in an investigation that neglected basic facts about how elections work.
Cyber Ninjas, a firm that was hired by Arizona Republican lawmakers to investigate 2020 election fraud, released Friday’s report. It found nothing that could have legitimately challenged the victory of President Joe Biden. It instead tried to portray routine electoral practices in Maricopa County, which were irregularities or sinister attempts to deny Donald Trump another term, as errors, irregularities, or sinister.
Despite its biased analysis, the report still showed more votes for Biden that he was officially certified to have won in the County last year.
Here are some claims made by Doug Logan, Cyber Ninjas CEO, during a hearing for its report to be presented on Friday.
LOGAN claims election results were deleted from Maricopa County’s election management software: “So someone went into an application and they selected to run something that would clear any records in the system that generated the official results, the day prior to an audit began.”
FACTS: The data was not deleted; it was only moved. Officials from Maricopa County made copies of the data, and then archived them before removing it form the election management software.
The county released a statement via Twitter that stated, “We have backups of all Nov. data and those archives weren’t subpoenaed.” Officials from the county said that data cannot be stored on the election management software indefinitely. The county stated that “Cyber Ninjas do not understand the business of election management.” “We cannot keep everything on the EMS server, because it has storage limitations.”
LOGAN: “23.344 people voted in Maricopa County when they shouldn’t have or wouldn’t normally have access to” because they moved.
THE FACTS: This is not the case. Logan compared the names of voters to a commercial address database, and not a voter database. Logan found that 2334 people reported having moved before the October ballots were distributed. Despite the fact that the review seems to suggest something wrong, election officials noted that voters such as college students and military personnel can legally vote at their registered address while moving to temporary locations.
Trey Grayson, a former Republican secretary-of-state in Kentucky, stated that “a competent reviewer would not make a claim such as that.”
FACTS: This is not unusual and it is not indicative of wrongdoing. Logan’s file, also known as EV33 shows two entries in the returned ballot when a voter’s mail ballot contains a signature discrepancy.
Election officials will contact the voter if he or she sends in a ballot that has a missing signature or a blank one. Election officials stated that if the discrepancy can be resolved, they will enter a second record into the EV33 file.
“The proper conclusion to draw is that the early voter team was performing their statutory responsibility by reviewing signatures of all returned mail-in votes,” Maricopa County responded to Logan’s claim.

Well, on a daily basis, very wonderful experiences manifest for me whether to me or to someone I know. I don’t bother about anything on the news because I receive genuinely happy news and witness fulfilling experiences on a daily basis. By applying what Neville is teaching me as faithfully as I could, I have my days filled with multiple manifestations every waking day. If you could, catch the feeling of how I wake up: ‘Wow, what an amazing day for more manifestations. Isn’t it wonderful?’ I grew so confident at this that I unassumingly told a friend something very odd and unlikely would happen because it was already done. Well, I imagined it was done. It so happened wonderfully that he called me later and said, ‘Adelere, I am very religious and you know it. But you seem to have a way of speaking with the Father that I don’t know. Could you teach me spirituality?’ Grateful I could tell him what Abdullah taught Neville, which Neville taught us: Your Imagination is the Father.
So, what do you do when your day is full of such wonderful manifestations? In all honesty, I believe it is Revision of Self. Wonderful manifestations isn’t all. This is what I encourage everyone to realise, that beyond manifesting the one big money or the one dream house — have them if you want, and they’re yours already as soon as you want. But beyond all this is living with your self, that is, your body of beliefs. Living with my Self now and by being more and increasingly aware that the Power is within me, I discover that my Self wasn’t the loveliest body of beliefs in the world. It then made sense to me what Abdullah suggested to Neville. ‘Neville, you must first start with self. Find self, don’t be ashamed ever of the being you are. Discover it and start the changing of that self.’ (Changing the Feeling of I lecture) It seems likely that Neville already have manifested his trip to Barbados and returned when Abdullah suggested this to him. When Neville was beginning to take his imagination very seriously. Abdullah understood he wouldn’t meet the very best of ‘self’ when he found it. So, don’t be ashamed of the being that you are. Simply start the changing of it.
Revision is the one and only way to do this, in my very plain understanding. In 1949, Neville was speaking to his friend who was head of the chemical department at Allis-Chalmers then. He suggested to him, ‘You can change the past. Man can revise the past, and change it as though it never happened. The day will come, everyone is going to change the entire past, and simply revise it.’ (If You Can Really Believe lecture) Neville teaches from experience, and he must have experienced this. It’s not the easiest of tasks to do. But we could either keep living with an unlovely self the way we already are or honour our spirit’s desire to expand by revising that self into the loveliest one.
So, now that manifestations fill my day, revision is my way of life. I now see very clearly that all my childhood dreams would already have been manifested if I didn’t have a limiting self-concept which I must revise. Well, I am grateful that Neville teaches how to do this. I am grateful that I am the power to recreate life and I know I am the power. I am also urging that you take Abdullah’s suggestion to Neville very seriously. If you still want a particular manifestation only, please enjoy it. Go to Barbados and come back. When you will have died to thinking there’s an external cause of all your life, all life, you would be ready to find your Self and change it.

Nehemiah 3:9 Parallel
CommentaryWesley's Notes on the Bible
3:9 Half part - As Rome was anciently divided into several quarters or regions, so was Jerusalem; and especially into two parts, whereof one was in the tribe of Benjamin, and nearest the temple, the other in the tribe of Judah, these accordingly had two several rulers, this man and the other, ver.12, but both under the chief governor of the city.
Some of the most complicated problems in Hebrew history as well as in the literary criticism of the Old Testament gather about the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Apart from these books, all that we know of the origin and early history of Judaism is inferential. They are our only historical sources for that period; and if in them we have, as we seem to have, authentic memoirs, fragmentary though they be, written by the two men who, more than any other, gave permanent shape and direction to Judaism, then …
John Edgar McFadyen—Introduction to the Old Testament
Next Jedaiah son of Harumaph repaired the wall across from his own house, and next to him was Hattush son of Hashabneiah.
Shallum son of Hallohesh and his daughters repaired the next section. He was the leader of the other half of the district of Jerusalem.
Next to him was Nehemiah son of Azbuk, the leader of half the district of Beth-zur. He rebuilt the wall from a place across from the tombs of David's family as far as the water reservoir and the House of the Warriors.
Next to him, repairs were made by a group of Levites working under the supervision of Rehum son of Bani. Then came Hashabiah, the leader of half the district of Keilah, who supervised the building of the wall on behalf of his own district.

text: On Memorial Day we headed towards “Yuccaland” to see what was happening in the hot Mojave Desert. On our road trip we noticed a little family amusement carnival just off the road in a small sandy lot. We found out that there were only a few hours left of the fun so I quickly took out my Canon and a zoom lens and started taking pictures. The charming, slightly rusted rides shined bright against the desert backdrop. The rides may have been touched by time and looked like they might have been hit by harsh desert storms, but the smiles on the children faces were timeless. The beaming sun and dry air were no match for the imagination of the kids. It was a small man made oasis harnessing all of the magic the Yucca Valley has to offer.

The results of U.S. Senate elections increasingly are aligned with states’ party preferences in presidential elections – a trend that could have major implications in this year’s battle for control of the Senate.
The vast majority of the regular and special Senate elections held since 2013 – 69 of 73 – have been won by candidates who belonged to the party that won that state’s most recent presidential race, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of election results going back to 1980. That represents a marked contrast with prior years: As recently as 2006, 12 of 33 Senate contests (36%) were won by candidates of different parties than their state’s 2004 presidential pick. (The election data we used came mostly from the Federal Election Commission, supplemented by information from the U.S. House Clerk’s office and media reports.)
There are 35 Senate seats at stake this November – 33 regularly scheduled elections, plus special elections in Minnesota and Mississippi. Of those, 18 seats are in states that went for Republican Donald Trump in 2016, while 17 are in states that favored Democrat Hillary Clinton. Democrats (and two independents who caucus with them) currently hold 26 of those seats, including 10 in states that voted for Trump. Republicans hold nine of the seats up for grabs this year, but only one in a Clinton state.
The growing alignment of Senate races with presidential voting patterns is a relatively new phenomenon. In 1980, for instance, Democrats won Senate seats in 12 of the 31 states that held Senate races and were carried by Republican Ronald Reagan as he swept into the White House. (Reagan won all but six states that year; two of those states elected Republican senators despite going for Jimmy Carter, the incumbent Democrat.) In the 1982 midterms, Democrats won 17 of the 28 Senate contests held in states Reagan had won two years earlier.
The “mismatch rate” – which we define as the percentage of Senate races won by an opposite-party candidate to a state’s most recent presidential vote – peaked at nearly 59% in 1986. That year, Democrats won back control of the Senate two years after Reagan’s 1984 landslide re-election, in which he won every state except Minnesota (and the District of Columbia). Of the 34 Senate races that year, Democrats won in 20 states Reagan had won two years earlier.
Since the late 1980s, however, the mismatch rate generally has trended lower, despite occasional deviations (such as in 1994 and 2006). The biggest drop came after Barack Obama won 26 states in his 2012 re-election; that year, the mismatch rate was 24%. But of the 38 regular and special Senate elections held in the 2013-14 cycle, all but three mirrored the 2012 presidential vote, for a mismatch rate of just under 8%. (The three exceptions all were Republicans elected to Senate seats in Obama states.) In 2016, all 34 Senate contests tracked the presidential vote in their respective states.
One consequence of the increasing alignment between states’ presidential and Senate voting patterns is a decrease in split Senate delegations. Currently, 14 states have two senators of different parties, tied for the second-fewest split delegations in the past five decades.
The trend also is similar to the decline of split-ticket voting in House races (that is, voting for a House Democrat and a GOP presidential candidate, or vice versa) – a development that has contributed to the scarcity of House seats “flipping” from one party to the other, as well as to fewer split Senate delegations. Both trends have been driven by the ever-widening divide between Democrats and Republicans on fundamental political values, as well as the fact that Americans are more consistently liberal or conservative in their views than in the past.

An acquisition of non-bank lender Pepper Homeloans is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.
According to a report in The Australian Financial Review, the specialist lender’s majority stakeholders, Merill Lynch and Italy’s CIR SpA, are looking to exit the company.
It is understood that Pepper kicked off the sales process some months ago.
There is mounting speculation that a management buyout is a possibility, however, this is not the preferred option.
Sales documents show the lender had total loans under management of about $3.2 billion at 30 June 2009, while its originated loans amounted $1 billion.
The documents also show that Pepper Homeloans has a ‘normalised’ after tax profit of $10 million.
Sources close to the sale suggest the company’s preferred sale amount is $20 million.

At Desert X, 16 Artists Make 45 Miles of the Coachella Valley Their Canvas
The first thing you notice when you drive through Downtown Palm Springs at night is just how much it’s a suburb. Subtract the sun, the brown mountains jutting towards the sky, the vast expanse, and it’s as suburban as the San Fernando Valley.
Pause that thought. Maybe there’s some better architecture, I think as I pass a restaurant tucked into a spectacular A-frame building on my way to “Desert X,” an exhibition of site-specific works by 16 artists that takes place in various areas around Palm Springs, the Sonoran desert city in Southern California.
The exhibition, which opens on February 25th, is curated by Artistic Director Neville Wakefield. It’s timed to coincide with Coachella Music Festival, which draws tens of thousands of revelers to the desert every April. And, sprawled across some 45 miles of the Coachella Valley—in two days, I saw just 12 of the 16 works—this show is one for viewers with time to kill.
Among the desert winds, the gridded streets that can turn you around, and the mirages that waver in the distance, Palm Springs seems rife for an exhibition like this, which I hear described as a “biennial” a few times by “Desert X” officials.
It’s in this landscape that Jennifer Bolande’s billboards sneak up on you. They are puzzle pieces to their mountainous, epic backdrops.
Why Palm Springs, you might wonder. Some of the works answer that question. Bolande’s does, certainly, even if you’re an Angeleno tired of billboard art. So does the figure from the future in
Elsewhere in the desert, Italian artist Norma Jeane’s roving ShyBot (2017) roams through the desert, and is supposedly programmed to avoid human contact. And
But the message isn’t necessarily in the medium, says Strachan over breakfast at the Ace Hotel a day before the exhibition opens. “
The work is meant to be a place of contemplation, explains Strachan. And since you can’t see the words from the ground level, the words lose meaning in much the way they do when they are being chanted.
“I am,” Strachan tells me, “is an ancient mantra from Hindu Vedic text. It’s interesting in the desert, because it brings up the physicality—the wind, the sand—and the history of the desert. All the Bible, the Hindu texts—all the things I read when I was a child— happen in the desert. And contain all these moments of self-actualization.”
Some projects deal less directly with the desert environment, such as
The exhibition is a sharp contrast from High Desert Test Sites (HDTS), an occasional exhibition organized by artist
And I’ll never forget works like Thom Merrick’s hike up a mountain to view the landscape as an artwork—evoking the corner of a painting, perhaps.
The contrast is most apparent in
Which points to another problem in the curation. Pruitt and Prince are big names, sure, but the list isn’t entirely made up of blue-chippers, so why there are only four women included in the show is baffling—a question that seemed to handcuff Wakefield when he was asked about it during an interview in the New York Times.
This sort of thinking isn’t acceptable in today’s world. It leaves a dusty taste on an otherwise enjoyable journey. Where, exactly, that journey takes you is another question.

I agree wholeheartedly! I tried socks that way and got so confused and tangled-it sucked all the knitting joys right out of the needles! The cardigan is looking fabulous, btw!
Your cardigan looks terrific. I love that color so much. Two-at-a-time sounds like the way to go, but there's too much rearranging for me.
I'm glad you got it sorted out, seriously, who has time for the tangles? I'm with delighted hands, it sucks all the knitting joy right out! The project really looks to be coming along! Exciting times! It looks so "fall-esque!"
Just beautiful . I LOVE your choice of pattern and yarn. Tangles...ugh... I avoid at all cost.
Why can't sleeves play nice together?
I'm with you; no way can I cope with 2 things on one needle. You way works for me!! Love that color, BTW.

A spokesman says Spirit is dealing with problems created by bad weather, system outages and staffing shortages. American Airlines is also scrambling. It has canceled more than 10% of its flights for Tuesday.
Both Spirit and American have been struggling with widespread delays and cancellations since the weekend, and customers who call the airlines are getting stuck on hold for hours.

Labour’s Dawn Butler MP has thanked God “for BLM”, saying the Marxist race motion has emboldened her to “use the term white supremacy” with out concern.
Butler, who was briefly a authorities minister below then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown and served as Shadow Minister for Diversity after which Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities below hard-left Labour chief Jeremy Corbyn, made the feedback in an interview with Make It Plain, an arm of the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity which kinds itself because the “home of radical Black thought”.

The pair have beforehand clashed within the House of Commons, with Butler suggesting that folks like Badenoch quantity to “racial gatekeepers” by disputing the leftist standard knowledge on ideas like “white privilege” and “systemic” of “institutional” racism.
“It’s sadly nothing new. Every generation will have a Kemi…. even back in the day during colonialism …there was a Kemi there… it’s all about how we tackle it,” Butler informed Make It Plain.
Despite her declare to have been energised in her race activism by the rise of Black Lives Matter in 2020, Butler does in truth have a reasonably lengthy report of pushing id politics, for instance by declaring that banks and companies “must” pay reparations for slavery at a celebration convention in 2019.
She additionally the topic of some mockery in 2018 when she took goal at TV chef Jamie Oliver for releasing a line of “punchy jerk rice”, branding the white celeb’s product “not ok” and “[cultural] appropriation from Jamaica”. Butler was born within the London Borough of Newham.

Nigeria’s apex Court on Thursday, June 16, ruled in favor of female Muslim students in Lagos State Government-owned schools to be allowed to wear hijabs to school.
This comes after the Lagos state government, in 2015, banned the use of hijabs in public schools, saying it was not part of the approved school uniform for pupils. Following the ban, the state was sued by some Muslims who argued that the ban was a violation of their rights to freedom of thought, religion, and education.
The court of appeal had then ruled against the ban, pushing the state government to appeal the case at the Supreme court of justice.
Delivering judgment, the Supreme court rejected the Lagos State Government’s appeal and upheld the earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal which ruled that the ban on hijab was discriminatory against Muslim students in the state and violated their right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion, and the dignity of human persons as contained in the 1999 constitution.

Five Pointed Origami Star
I love that this star is neatly finished and attractive on both front and back.
Update: March 2013. It has recently come to my attention that this design should be credited to Tomoko Fuse. I haven't been able to find it in a published work--can anyone confirm this?
The secret? Start with a pentagon shaped piece of paper, not a square. (Mine just fits on a 7" square of origami paper.)
How to make a five pointed star with pentagon shaped origami paper
Start with a pentagon shaped piece of paper. Cut your paper precisely as any deviation will show in the finished star.
Download PDF set of pentagon templates in various sizes.
Fold the pentagon in half down the center of any point. Unfold. Repeat for each point of the pentagon.
Pull one flat side toward the center of the paper, keeping the center fold line aligned. Note that you are not aligning the center point of this flat side with the center of the piece of paper. You are sliding the center of the flat side up the center fold line a bit. (The center of the paper is just about where the point of the bottom red arrow is.)
When the side points intersect the fold lines as shown, stop and hold in place.
Crease across the bottom, just between the fold lines.
Repeat for each of the five sides. When you are done the folds will form a small pentagon around the center of the paper.
Fold each point in half, working toward the inner (small) pentagon.
Flip the paper over and pinch the corners of the (small) pentagon to make sure they are well creased.
Flip back to the front side.
Start pushing the folded corners to the left, working around the circle until they all flatten.
As you are flattening the star you are creating a new set of folds around the center. These folds were not precreased. You can see me flattening them down to form that center rosette.
Turn the star over.
Pre-crease each star point.
Fold each point in half, matching the center of the star with the folded up angle,
and the side of the star point with the fold line indicated. Unfold.
Fold the star points in, one at a time, working in a counter-clockwise directions.
When you get to the last fold you will need to tuck it into the first one, making sure none of the folds get crumpled in the process.
I unfold the first one slightly, make sure the folds on it are smooth, tuck the last point inside and then rub my finger back and forth inside the join to smooth the folds.

Khumba: A Zebra's Tale (aka Khumba) review by Alyse Garner - Cinema Paradiso
A fish (although in this case it’s a zebra) out of water story Khumba: a Zebra’s Tale is the story of half striped Khumba a zebra living in the Karoo region of South Africa whose herd suffers during a drought and blames their misfortune on the unusual physical appearance of the young zebra. Told of a mystical watering hole by a mute grasshopper Khumba embarks on a journey across the desert in search of the magical water that will complete his stripy complexion and normalize him to the rest of the herd, but like most children’s journey stories, Khumba learns more than he set out to.
A rather unusual production Khumba has all the star quality of a big Dreamworks production, thanks largely to the voice talents of Hollywood stars such as Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne and Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place Jake T. Austin, but without the fanfare and huge cinematic release. In fact, as an adult who still loves kids’ films, I hadn’t even heard of Khumba until the DVD turned up on my doorstep. Despite this the film has the same appeal and quality of some of this years’ more high profile features, an entertaining script and wonderful visuals, it just goes to show that it doesn’t have to be a Disney film to be good family fun.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t some small fry indie feature, as the casting will tell you Khumba still boasts a pretty big budget, it’s just nice to have something that’s a little different from the usual things offered by the big American studios. Presenting this part of the African desert on animated film for the first time Khumba comes from the same people that brought us Zambezia (2012) and has the same charm and entertainment as well as again offering a slightly less Americanized children’s narrative.
With a story that will entertain kids and characters that will charm adults, as well as adorable visuals and expert animation Khumba: a Zebra’s Tale deserves more notice than it has received thus far and I highly recommend both it and its sister film to anyone looking to show something different to their kids this autumn.

My name's Jennifer Neil and I'm a multi-media artist, based out of Portland, OR, who predominantly focuses on textiles and more specifically; quilting. My artist's mission is to change the way people perceive quilting. I believe that quilting has not been taken seriously as a medium because it has mostly been used by women out of their homes. My goal is to create bodies of work that push the limited view people have of quilts and to have them walk away with a new found respect for the medium of quilting.
I'm currently working on a new line called "Tectures." The series is inspired by local Architecture and will be expressed in various textures; rug hooking, weaving, and quilting.

NAFCU urges NDAA committee to axe nominal lease provision
Highlighting big banks' track record of consumer abuses and record-breaking profits, NAFCU Vice President of Legislative Affairs Brad Thaler urged the FY 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) conference committee to remove a provision that would treat banks and credit unions on military installations the same when it comes to leases.
Thaler sent the letter Thursday as the committee held its first meeting to reconcile differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. While NAFCU's advocacy efforts kept the provision out of the House-passed NDAA, the Senate bill includes it (Section 2821).
Bolstering NAFCU's advocacy, a bipartisan group of more than a dozen representatives recently sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees urging the provision's removal, noting that the Department of Defense (DoD) did not ask for it to be included and has previously opposed such changes. The letter was led by House Armed Services Subcommittee Chairwoman Jackie Speier, D-Calif.
In the NAFCU letter, Thaler noted that the DoD has used its discretionary authority to lease space on military bases at a nominal rate to credit unions because of the value they bring to military members, in addition to the laws and regulations they are required to meet. Speier's letter also highlighted current laws that allow banks to seek waivers for leases on military installations. However, if enacted, Thaler warned that the provision could create consequences.
"…[W]e remain concerned that Section 2821's intent to tie the fate of banks on the lease issue to credit unions and their good work misses the mark, and would ultimately disadvantage credit unions," Thaler said. "Rather than granting nominal leases to banks and credit unions, the DoD could very well decide to stop granting nominal leases altogether. We do not want to subject the ability of defense credit unions to serve their members to the political winds surrounding big bank consumer abuses."
Learn more about what this section would mean for credit unions.
As the committee begins its discussions, Thaler called on credit unions to join NAFCU by using its Grassroots Action Center to contact lawmakers directly and urge them to oppose the provision. NAFCU has also teamed up with the Defense Credit Union Council to share the industry's concerns about the provision.
NAFCU is vigilantly monitoring the conference committee and will maintain its advocacy efforts to ensure credit unions are not disadvantaged in the final NDAA, just as it did last year. Subscribe to NAFCU Today for updates on the committee's progress.

This is as good a place as any for me to release the rant I've been holding in...
Winter Classic. My first time to Detroit. Travelling around the world. First NHL game. Finally got tickets to a Leafs game. I'm just lucky that the classic was only part of my reason for going, family and friends will be worth visiting anyway. I took a gamble on the lockout and I lost. Last night I was revisiting 24/7 Penguins vs. Capitals and too be honest that is the most depressed I have felt about the cancellation. That's when it first really hit home that I'm going to miss all of that.
Sure, I'll see hockey - we'll watch some college games, maybe even catch an AHL or OHL game. We'll sample the brew bars of wider Michigan. Fact remains, I won't be seeing the NHL hockey I was going for, outdoors.
I'm upset and the worst part about it - there's nothing I can do about it. Many people are lucky enough to be able to watch hockey streaming or live, this doesn't work for me. GameCenter Live was the perfect solution because I could watch the games on demand. I've tried saving streams for later, but it's just so fiddly - different rtmp protocols being used etc - I just can't reliably expect to watch a game, which makes following a team hard. Plus due to all the advertising I have to have someone actually start the stream. I work shift so that makes things even harder, there is about an 8 hour time difference which puts games right in the middle of my work day (or sleep day depending on days/nights).
I am suffering hockey withdrawal and following games on twitter / catching small parts of them here and there / watching highlights just isn't cutting it.
tl;dr Stupid Boston pizza - always advertising wings... not pizza.

RPI hockey livestreams all home games for free. It's not the best quality play but it'll help you get a fix.

[–]BenKerrMTLNHL 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Yup its mainly a Canadian Company and is owned by Jim Treliving, the dude from Dragon's Den.
[–]BardtheBowmanMTLNHL 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (3 children)
In fact, Boston is not known for its pizza, nor is there any special sort of pizza unique to Boston.
I'm always weirded out by Canadian chains with American places in their names, like Montana Cookhouse.

We love chains with American places in the names in this country. Boston Pizza, Montana's, New York Fries, East Side Mario's, Lone Star Cafe...

He actually named it that because he's a Bruins fan. True story.
[–]flyingcanuckVANVNHL 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I dont think so...he changed the name of all Vancouver ones to Vancouver Pizza in June 2011 when the Canucks played the Bruins for the Cup because hes great friends with Pat Quinn, ex Canucks GM.
But I could be wrong...I hope hes not a bruins fan.
[–]KaysauceNJDNHL 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
They don't stipulate that it's exclusive to the Winter Classic that is to be held in Detroit only on January 1, 2013. There's always next year...if, of course, they come to an agreement within the next calendar year.

Yeah, I'm not sure the significance of the email received date other than the fact that it's after the classic was canceled, but the start date of the contest was before.
[–]WrafflesBOSOld2NHL 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Probably because he got the notice a month after the contest started; at least, that's all I can come up with.
