Bernie Sanders after Hillary Clinton's New York primary victory, VISA's plan to speed up the new chip card process, being a professional organizer in LA.
Can California save the race for Bernie Sanders? Probably not. Here’s why.
The “Excelsior” state has spoken.
Polling closed at 9 Eastern Time Tuesday night. Exit polls quickly called the winners.
On the Republican side, it was New York native Donald Trump by a landslide. The GOP-frontrunner picked up 89 of the state’s 95 delegates, losing just a few to Ohio Governor John Kasich, who pulled a distant second.
Meanwhile, Democrat Hillary Clinton bested Bernie Sanders to clinch the state with 58 percent of the primary pie.
Party delegate rules mean Bernie Sanders still has a shot at the party nomination — but it's a long one.
Sanders’ path to victory hinged on successes in New York and California. Tuesday’s loss may have made it mathematically impossible for Sanders to get the delegates he needs to win.
Take Two talked about the future of the Sanders campaign with Louis DeSipio, professor of political science at UC Irvine.

Virgin voters: A look at the hopes and fears of political first-timers
There's little doubt 2016 will be a decisive year in American politics.
Talk of debates, delegates, and heated rhetoric seem to dominate the 24-hour news cycle.
It's a race that's been defined by outsider candidates, separated by stances that have deepened the chasm between old and young: between the establishment and those who believe that the establishment has failed them.
But for millennials across the country, this year will be unique for one more reason. This year, millions of new voters will come to the polls for the very first time.
Take Two asked four of them to record their thoughts about this election year and assembled this audio postcard.
Thursday, April 21st, Take Two will discuss all things Generation-Y with a special show from Cal State Fullerton's Titan Student Union Theatre.
From politics and activism to love and housing, A Martinez will bust the myths that millennials are lazy and self-obsessed.
The event is at capacity, but a live stream can be found here.

Immigrant children placed with undocumented adults, AP finds
In recent years, younger migrants have been flocking to this country, often on their own.
Starting in 2014, tens of thousands of kids and teens from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras have crossed into the United States. When they're detained, they are placed with grownups who look after them.
A new report out from the Associated Press shows a majority of those kids were placed in the care of people who are, themselves, not here legally.
AP reporter

LA city controller says too many LAPD officers doing desk work
With an uptick in violent crime in Los Angeles, City Controller Ron Galperin is offering a possible solution: hire civilians.
More than 450 LAPD office positions are currently being filled by rank and file officers, according to a new audit released yesterday from Galperin's office. The jobs include manning front desks, running social media accounts, and managing equipment rooms.
Galperin says it's time to get those officers into communities and out of the office. He joined Take Two to discuss.

Visa wants to speed up chip credit cards at checkout
Since they became standard back in October, 2015, chip and signature, or EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) credit cards haven't matched the speed of magnetic strip cards that were common before.
And that's frustrated consumers, according to Sienna Kossman with CreditCards.com.
Kossman joins Alex Cohen to talk about chip cards, why they're so slow and what Visa wants to do to fix the problem.
The Styled Side: how Marie Kondo made organization fashionable
Letting go is hard, especially when it comes to stuff and things. But recently, Americans have shown a real penchant for it.
"The hottest trend in home styling isn’t a hot, new paint color or type of furniture," says Michelle Dalton Tyree from Fashion Trends Daily. "It’s the act of decluttering."
It has reached a fever-pitch in great part thanks to one Japanese personal organizer: Marie Kondo.
Kondo speaks Thursday, April 21 at 8 p.m. for Live Talks LA in Santa Monica, and the event is proving to be a hot ticket.
"It's so popular that they’ve had to change the venue from its original location to Barnum Hall at Santa Monica High School to accommodate the crowd," says Tyree.
There are several reasons that set Kondo apart from other organizers, she says.
Kondo emphasizes only keeping stuff that you have an emotional connection with, for example, and treating each object as if it has an emotion.
Tyree says that Kondo's rose to fame at the right time when Americans own shopping habits changed.
"I believe that the downturn that started in 2008 really paved the way for people to pare down," she says, "and I think the style community has really taken to her, making them really responsible for popularizing Kondo."
What's it like to be a professional organizer?
I recently went through the decluttering process at my house. We didn't use the Marie Kondo route, though: we hired a professional organizer.
Yes, such people exist.
But what does it take to do this for a living? What is it like to take on this sort of career in a place like L.A.?
So I wanted to bring on the person who helped me, Tori Springer Taylor who runs the business Simply Simplify.
