LAO Economy and Taxes
While the current formula considers the location of firms’ sales, property, and payroll, starting in 2011 firms will have the option to consider only their sales. This policy is intended to encourage firms to produce in California and sell into other states.

In this report, we examine the rationales for different approaches to apportionment and evidence from California and other states on how changes to apportionment laws affect both economic activity and tax revenue.

Our findings indicate that:

(1) a formula with a higher weight on sales and lower weights on property and payroll promotes job growth to some extent; (2) with most states’ formulas now based only on sales, the old formula that used property and payroll could put some California producers at a competitive disadvantage; and (3) allowing firms to choose their formula every year arbitrarily favors some firms over others. We recommend that the state require all firms to use the single sales factor, which would help the state’s competitiveness while limiting the cost to the budget.

 AB32: Letter to Assembly Member Dan Logue Regarding Potential Economic Leakage
 

Format:
PDF

May 13, 2010 - 
 This responds to Assembly Member Logue's request that we conduct a qualitative analysis of the costs of California taking actions to address the climate change issue, without there being a shared consensus and involvement across the nation in terms of how the issue is addressed. Specifically we were asked to look at the costs California would likely incur following the implementation of AB 32 through the California Air Resource Board’s Scoping Plan, compared to states that do not have similar policies in place.

 Evaluating the Sale-Leaseback Proposal: Should the State Sell Its Office Buildings?
 

Format:
PDF
HTML
Video

April 27, 2010 - 
 Recent legislation authorized the Department of General Services (DGS) to sell and then lease back 11 state-owned office properties. The sale-leaseback is designed to free up the state’s equity in the buildings to provide one-time revenue for addressing the state’s current budgetary shortfall. We estimate that the sale of buildings would result in one-time revenue to the state of between $600 million and $1.4 billion, but that annual leasing costs would eventually exceed ownership costs by approximately $200 million.
Mental Health Summit - VA News
It is a testament—pun intended—to the amazing colleagues and partners I am blessed to work with at VA. I have the privilege of seeing your inspiring work every single day.
I especially appreciate any opportunity I get to work with and hear from VA’s incredible chaplains. Spiritual care offers concrete health benefits—research shows that VA patients who have chaplains or faith leaders involved in their health care leave the hospital sooner and better manage their pain and stress. So VA chaplains are key members of our interdisciplinary care teams—on-call around-the-clock, 365 days a year. They participate in medical rounds and patient care conferences. They provide meaningful spiritual care interventions. They offer interdisciplinary education for other providers. They are often the first person a Vet is comfortable talking to about mental health challenges or concerns. And they build trust, and offer the light of hope, to Vets in their darkest moments. Chaplains and faith leaders are invaluable to everything we do here at VA, offering wisdom and spiritual support to providers, Veterans, and their families.
Now, not too long ago, Veterans like Steve might not have felt so comfortable talking to VA because of stigma, discomfort, and fear. And at VA, we haven’t always gotten it right for Veterans of color, LGBTQ+ Veterans, and other underserved populations who may have tried VA in the past but didn’t feel welcomed, didn’t feel heard, didn’t feel seen. And maybe the same is true for Veterans who felt they couldn’t or shouldn’t talk about their faith at VA, either. Well, they can. And they should. And because we haven’t gotten it right, too many of our Veterans don’t come to VA for the care, benefits, and services they’ve earned, and so richly deserve.
But what VA is doing differently—what we didn’t do well for so long—is pairing Veteran-centric care with new innovations in suicide prevention. Listening to the Veterans we serve. Building trust. It’s so simple, yet so powerful. And that right there—trust—that’s exactly what our partnership is all about. You’ve earned the trust of Vets in the community.
'Start Early and Start Now' — Insights From CalPERS Benefits Education Events - CalPERS PERSpective
After attending a class on deferred compensation plans for those early to mid-career, she now has answers to questions hanging over their collective heads.
“This event has been insanely helpful,” she said. “Many employees don’t know you can have two retirement plans at the same time – your CalPERS pension, and a supplemental savings plan. I didn’t know until today you can have more than one supplemental plan going at once, which is awesome.”

Candee Torrez, 39, Beaumont Unified School District
Prior to becoming a mother, 39-year-old Candee Torrez intended to return to work after exhausting the eight weeks of Paid Family Leave. But she wanted to be there for her three-month-old boy Ezra’s early development.
“Now that I’m a mom, I don’t know what the future holds with my school district job – because I like my mom job,” Torrez said.
Torrez has been a librarian with the Beaumont Unified School District in Southern California for nearly 10 years. But until attending a CBEE in Riverside, she didn’t know how much protection she has as an employee, plus the protections over the funds she’s contributed toward her CalPERS pension.
“I’m happy to hear my pension is held for me if I don’t return to work right away, or ever,” Torrez said. “There is so much flexibility with what I’ve contributed, and there are so many options in my favor.
“I wouldn’t have learned all this on my own – I’m grateful for the education I’ve had today.”

Chien “Cathy” Chien (center), 32, California Department of Health Care Services
“Start early, and start now,” is Cathy Chien’s motto when it comes to saving extra to supplement her eventual CalPERS pension. At 32, the California Department of Health Care Services worker has two CBEEs under her belt, and she’s not done learning.
“Every time I come here, I get new information,” said Chien.

Making Maps Accessible in PDF Documents | U.S. Department of the Interior
Great. I know there are, count quickly, six, five? Oh, I left Island out. Oh, I left Island out of that. I cheated. San Juan, Skagit. Oh no, there’s Island. Okay, sorry. So there are six. Six counties in the northwest region. That’s the information I want to know about the map in general. Then, because I can in this case - now remember, in some of the maps we saw before, there was no way for me to tag individual things in the map. The one for the Rio Grande National Park, I couldn’t grab anything in the map to add anymore information. This one I can. So I’ve created my second figure, and I chose the word Whatcom for Whatcom County, and now, I can go into there, and I can give much more detailed information. Here’s the balance that comes in again, concise and complete. But I had enough by looking at the map that I knew that Whatcom County’s northwest ecology office, which is where the star is, is just south of the town of Bellingham. I’m going to actually make this a little bit bigger. Come on. There we go. Oh, you still can’t see it. That’s okay. All right, well there’s Bellingham with a little green box below it, and there’s my star that shows my northwest ecology office. Let’s bring up our - all right, so I have said Whatcom’s County northwest ecology office is just south of Bellingham. Whatcom County has - now I’m looking down at the legend again, and I’m saying, what are all these things that are indicated? Okay, so one of the things that is indicated is the NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permits, and these are the green boxes, and so they have Birch Bay, Ferndale, Lynden, and Bellingham all have those, so I’ve listed that in my alt text. It has Shoreline Master Programs for, and that’s the little red triangle.
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
I was working with Roy Morris on this back when he was MPRD's DR. Where it stood last Roy and I talked just prior to his transfer is that his research had found the FS had presented the OHV community with a route that utilized ridge tops and the OHVers had said they wanted canyon bottoms. I told Roy that did not sound logical to me that it came from an OHVer with maintenance experience, as they would know that ridge top is low maintenance and canyon bottoms are high maintenance. My response to Roy was I believe that the OHV community would best be served by a combination of both with the canyons being carefully selected so not to create a high maintenance situation. Phil Phil Pulley - 5/3/2024

I would like to comment on the Los Padres National Forest grant application on behalf of the California Off Road Vehicle Association. Los Padres National forest applications for ground operations and planning show that the forest is committed to hosting responsible OHV recreation and for that they can be applauded. We especially appreciate your planning application to improve staging for us. I was sad to read that you have problems there "and replace existing OHV facilities that have been vandalized, demolished or removed by users." Contact us at CORVA for ideas on how to reduce these problems. Possibly adding additional signs would help and offering a nice spot for a campground host could cut down unwanted behavior. Please keep up the good work spending OHV dollars the way we like. Ed Stovin - 5/5/2024

 USFS - Mendocino National Forest

Ohv is a value to everyone willing to participate.. Fund the program Derrick ray - 5/3/2024

Please approve submitted requests for funds. After the previous devastating fires, there are so many trees falling. Trails getting blocked, slides due to burnoff. With the limited staff the forest people cannot keep up. Volunteers have been helping but that is limited. Douglas McCay - 5/4/2024

As a volunteer and recreational user in the Mendocino I fully support the grant for the forest. I wish other National Forests in California had programs like Mendocino that recognize OHV recreation and work to improve it. Bruce Hendrickson - 5/4/2024
Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
And so we’re very happy that we actually have accomplished this, task in our downtime.
Anca Selariu: But that is not to say that we don’t continue to watch movies. Kelly and I have been making a point to get The Last Kingdom done twice over. And we’re in the middle of the second iteration.
Kelly Haston: It’s true. We have developed a great love of things Viking and Scandinavian while in here. So we have really enjoyed the sort of vividness of the portrayal of the characters and also seeing scenes that are being shot in the countryside where we can see mountains and snow and rain and wind and also flowers. And also seeing people do different things that we don’t get to do in here, like making a sword. So those are some of the things we do as a whole crew, but we also do activities that really actually helped have another crew member with you. And so one that I’m going to bring up is that, and I think that one thing that Anca and I love to do together, and since we’re doing this together, we’ll talk about it, we love to clean the airlock together. So the airlock is the place where we sort of, it’s our last stop before we step out onto the Martian surface. And it gets pretty dusty at times. It also holds like all of our EVA equipment, our Extravehicular Activity equipment. And so we love every once in a while, once a month it’s called for to be given a deep clean and on. And Anca and I love go out there and just really go to town with the cleaning materials. And as you might imagine, by the end of it, they’re all really deep red from like the dust of Mars and it’s really satisfying. And we always have really good chats while we’re out there as well. So it’s kind of like double the pleasure. You get to clean something really deeply, you get to have a real good conversation while you’re doing it. And so that’s something that I love to have help from another crew member with.

They can go and record themselves, you know, kind of, “Hey, here’s the treadmill, here’s all the things I don’t like about this. Here’s the exercise equipment.” And we can get really nuanced data about all those different things. And then we’re also able to discuss aspects of the habitat as a team. And so they have team meetings and they might talk about how they want to change certain things or how they would reconfigure certain things. And having them think about that, really doing that reflection is really helpful to give us a lot of good, interesting data about how they might do things better. And eventually at the end of the mission, we’re going to ask them to kind of do a retrospective. So now that you’re out of the habitat, what happened over the course of that habitat? What changed over time? Basically, we want to understand if we can help make things more useful, but also more psychologically supportive. That’s kind of what I care about the most is, you know, we have to have design help achieve the task, but can we do it in such a way that people are also resilient because they’re doing these tasks?
Host: Yeah. And it’s over a really long period of time. I’m sure that’s a huge factor. Not only just the design, but the fact that they’re there for a while.
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Right. The other thing we’re really interested in, especially me as a teams researcher, is the idea of them living together for a full year. So they’re roommates, right? So we can actually ask them about group living and what it’s like to live with their crew mates in addition, in addition to team processes and cohesion, all that good stuff. But specifically, we want to know, like, are you a tidy person? Are you considerate of the other people you’re living with? Do you appreciate the skills and abilities that they bring into this habitat? And it’s not just for work, it’s also for living.

Chapter 7: Death and New Life - NASA Science
So they must have been created in the aftermath as debris formed a swirling cloud of gas and dust around the pulsar.Artist's concept of planets at pulsar PSR B1257+12.NASA/JPL-CaltechVisualization: Watch a red giant become a white dwarf, and supergiant explode in a supernova.NASA/JPL-Caltech/D. Berry and NASA/JPL-Caltech. FULL VIDEOOn the Shoulders of SupergiantsSupergiant stars contain many layers of different kinds of atoms fusing, creating an enormous output of energy.To date, no planets have been found around supergiant stars that will explode one day. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there, however. Supergiants stars are very rare, and so bright that they would far outshine any orbiting bodies. It is possible that our technology is not yet advanced enough to find their planets.Supergiants may be fleeting, but their explosions play an important role in this story. The shock wave from the supernova can trigger the formation of new stars, birthing new lives in the wake of death.NEWS FLASH: Buried exoplanet treasureIn 1917, astronomer Adriaan van Maanen discovered what appeared to be a faint, fast-moving star. The same year, Walter Sydney Adams captured the star’s spectrum -- a chemical fingerprint. Little did they know that they had captured the very first evidence of a white dwarf surrounded by planetary debris -- and perhaps even the first indication of the existence of exoplanets.The spectrum of the star showed calcium and other heavy elements, meaning the white dwarf had gobbled up material with these components relatively recently. The leading theory is that exoplanets could fling small rocky bodies toward the white dwarf, where they would be pulverized by the dead star’s gravity.Close-up of spectrum of van Maanen's Star.Carnegie Institution for ScienceToday we call these dead stars with heavy elements in their photospheres "polluted white dwarfs." NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has confirmed that about 40 white dwarfs have hot, dusty disks. Another handful emerged in data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
