2014 GDP: California Ranks 7th or 8th in the World [EconTax Blog]
(Wikipedia has useful entries that list various international GDP rankings, including PPP rankings.)
Per Capita GDP: California Ranks Very Highly Internationally. As shown below, California, if it were a separate country from the rest of the U.S., could be viewed as ranking #7 in GDP per capita (per person), according to IMF data. (Several other U.S. states with higher GDP per capita, including some with substantial oil and gas production, are not shown in this ranking list but are mentioned in its footnotes.)

GDP per capita rankings can vary based on which countries are included. For example, the IMF data above excludes some small territories (Monaco, Liechtenstein, Macau, and Bermuda) that likely would outrank California. If included, Jersey, the Falkland Islands, and the Cayman Islands could rank lower than California, but above the U.S. as a whole.
Comparisons to Other U.S. States
#1 California GDP 40% Bigger Than #2 Texas. With an estimated $2.31 trillion of GDP in 2014, California has the largest state-level economy in the U.S. due largely to its population, which ranks 1st among U.S. states. Texas ranks 2nd at $1.65 trillion. This means that California's 2014 GDP was 40% bigger than that of Texas. In 2014, Texas GDP grew at 5.2% (2nd highest growth rate among states), versus California's 2.8% growth rate (9th highest growth rate). Texas was one of the oil and gas states that had significant GDP growth in 2014. Because the price of oil and its production have declined, GDP growth in Texas and some other states may be significantly less in 2015.

 specific proposal provided for local discretionary projects.

b
 For 2001-02, the spending proposal identifies activities similar to the
 current year, but does not specify amounts for the various subcomponents.

Background. Under the NEG program, states may request federal funds to provide readjustment assistance (for example, retraining) to workers that face
dislocation due to unforseen events, such as a flood or a freeze. During the last four fiscal years, annual NEG funding for California has ranged from
$17 million to $74 million. After the EDD receives these funds, they are allocated to local entities, usually local Workforce Investment Boards, to provide
readjustment assistance to displaced workers. Typically, EDD obtains the authority to expend the additional federal funds by submitting a letter to the
Legislature pursuant to Section 28 of a given budget act.
Streamlining the Process. The Governor's budget includes a provision in Item 5100-001-0869 that would exempt NEG funds from 
Section 28 notification to the Legislature. The administration indicates that it is proposing this provision in order to allocate NEG funds to dislocated workers
more quickly. Although we agree that reducing the time it takes to move emergency funds to dislocated workers is desirable, we believe the Legislature needs to
retain oversight over this process. In our view, the reduction in processing time for NEG funds could be achieved by incorporating a request for NEG federal
expenditure authority into the Governor's budget. The amount of proposed expenditure authority could be set at the average of annual NEG expenditures over
the past four years, about $45 million. In the event that NEG expenditures ultimately exceed $45 million, the EDD could seek additional budget authority
through the Section 28 process with a waiver of the standard 30-day review period. In fact, all recent NEG federal augmentation proposals have included such a
waiver request and the Legislature has concurred with the need for these waivers.

 We conclude that opportunities exist to both improve public safety and reduce state costs by better aligning the county probation and state correctional systems. We recommend that the Legislature create a new program that would provide financial incentives for county probation departments to reduce their revocations to state prison. Even if the number of probation violators sent to state prison was reduced by as little as 10 percent, state corrections operating costs would be reduced by about $60 million annually when fully implemented.

DHS Reaches First Efficiency Review Milestone, Begins Cost-Savings Initiatives Department Wide

Release Date: April 30, 2009

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reached the first of four 30-day targets outlined in its Department-wide Efficiency Review this week, marking the initial implementation of four major initiatives set forth by Secretary Janet Napolitano in the plan announced on March 27.
“The entire Department is focused on streamlining operations and saving valuable resources,” said Secretary Napolitano. “These are simple steps that we can take to ensure taxpayer dollars are being used in the most efficient way possible.”
Throughout the Department, efforts are underway to eliminate non-mission critical travel while maximizing the use of conference calls, web-based trainings and meetings and consolidating subscriptions to professional publications and newspapers.
In addition, DHS is currently working to maximize the use of government office space and facilities for meetings, conferences, and trainings in place of renting private facilities and minimize the printing and distribution of reports and documents that can be sent electronically or posted online.
Initiatives—both large and small—are in progress. The Office of Counternarcotics Enforcement saved $1,600 by reducing staff attendance at an upcoming interagency counterdrug conference in Florida. The National Protection and Programs Directorate National Cyber Security Division expects to recover approximately $10,000-$15,000 annually by utilizing teleconferences and web-based seminars in lieu of flying employees to non-local events.
Mindfulness Institute | VA Portland Health Care | Veterans Affairs
"I hope that every VA employee will have this opportunity to experience this training because it will not only improve the interactions with colleagues and Veterans but also the relationship with one self and loved-ones."
-- Registered Nurse, Mindfulness-Based Self Care Graduate

How Does Mindfulness Work?
Current research suggests practicing mindfulness re-trains the brain and strengthens important psychological processes, such as: attention regulation and self-awareness; reduced rumination, worry and self-criticism; reduced emotional reactivity; and greater levels of kindness and self-compassion.
Essentially, the more we practice mindfulness meditation, the less we get stuck in our heads worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, the less stressed we feel, the less judgmental and critical we are to ourselves and others, the better choices we make, and the more fully we can participate in our lives and what matters to us. 
"I discovered some hope that things can improve. Being in the "autopilot loop" is hopeless. I've discovered there is a way to break that cycle."
-- MBSR Veteran graduate, VA Portland.
How Can I Learn More or Participate in a Mindfulness Training Program?
The best way to learn more about mindfulness and experience its benefits, is to practice it! Fortunately, VA Portland is one of the few VA hospitals in the nation with an evidence-based mindfulness training program for Veterans and Staff.
If you want more information about the programs available for Veterans, visit the Veteran Programs page. If you want to get started right away, visit the Guided Audio/Resources page to connect with a variety of VA and non-VA resources!

Featured Activities

 Hiking
 

General information on hiking includes how-to and safety tips and links to rules and regulations.
The property's trail system contains a mix of trails marked for both snowmobile and foot travel. Existing trails are concentrated in two areas: the Lake Eaton/Owl's Head area and the Sargent Ponds/Castle Rock area.
A developed 3.1-mile trail leads to the Owl's Head Mountain fire tower.
A foot trail allows access from Maple Lodge Road in Blue Mountain Lake to Castle Rock. Parking is located near the Syracuse University Minnowbrook Conference Center. From the Minnowbrook Conference Center, users hike along the private road and then turn right, entering the Forest Preserve. This trail continues to Upper Sargent Pond via Helms Pond Trail. Located along the northern shore of Blue Mountain Lake, Castle Rock is a unique geologic formation with a marked trail leading to its summit. A large overhanging natural rock shelter and a small cave are located to the south of this formation. Castle Rock can be accessed by an easy hike leading to the 200-foot high rock outcrop. From this vantage point visitors get an excellent view of Blue Mountain and Blue Mountain Lake. A short spur trail from the Castle Rock Loop leads to the shores of Blue Mountain Lake.
Although there are many wide spots and turn-outs at various locations that provide access to the property, there are few developed trailheads that provide visitors with information and safe parking. Many locations only offer a trail sign and a small pull-off in which to park.
