New York appears to be turning into the newest battleground state for the Democratic presidential candidates. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders keeps touting his Brooklyn birthplace but he is still trailing Hillary Clinton, who adopted New York as her home state and served as its senator for two terms. Democrats will vote in the state's primary on April 19. The 247 pledged delegates available for the Democrats in New York are awarded proportionally, meaning that the candidates are awarded a proportional number of delegates to the amount of the vote they earn.

"Humans have spent 99 percent of our developmental time in the wild kingdom, which tutored us in what Rob Kall calls bottom-up values?small, local, interdependent, respectful, egalitarian and decentralized -- and which the world desperately needs in order to balance out some of the darker impulses of top-down values. His faith that bottom-up values represent a critical re-balancing act for humanity, if not an outright better mousetrap, is compelling and hard-won, and I offer him a high-five for his courageous inquiry into the deep wisdom inherent in our age-old intimacy with natural rhythms, native intelligences, and interconnectedness."
