La camera silenziosa: ho potuto dormire tranquillamente. Merita una menzione il bel giardino, anche se, a causa del clima invernale, non l'ho potuto godere. - Anonymous
This hotel is charming! Upon arrival, the very friendly and helpful staff were there to open the doors and offered us a cold drink and a place to sit and rest during check-in. The rooms were very clean and well decorated. The breakfast had a good variety, and eggs could be made to order. You could eat the breakfast inside, but it was so delightful outside in the garden area. While some might not like that the hotel was not close to the main tourist area, we preferred the location because i - Anonymous

Very nice hotel. Very comfortable and clean. Nice bathroom, nice bed, quite spacious room. 5 seconds away from the vaporetto stop. Nothing really to complain about. Highly recommend! - Anonymous
Cortesia - pulizia - giardino d'inverno - 1 colazione - Marco
La cortesia e gentilezza dello staff, la graziosissima camera con vista sul Canal Grande (non richiesta), la colazione davvero abbondante e variegata, la posizione ottima. - Anonymous
la posizione, sul canal grande ed a pochi metri da una fermata del vaporetto, nonchè la qualità complessiva della struttura...un albergo da consigliare. - Anonymous
ho apprezzato tutto. L'unica nota dolente, se così si può chiamare, è che dal sito avevo selezionato una camera con vista sul canale e stupidamente pensavo fosse sul canal grande, invece sono finita in una camera stupenda ma con vista su un canaletto secondario che per vedere qualcosa bisognava sporgersi notevolmente dalla finestra - Ilaria
the location was brilliant. got on the grand canel and the water taxi stopped right at the hotel front door. staff and room was all very nice. breakfast was the best we had during our two weeks in Italy. - mary
We stayed one night at the Palazzo Peruta in April. The staff were extremely gracious in honouring a booking that I had made for the Junior Suite, despite me making an error in the booking for the wrong date, they managed to be able to give us the room that we wanted.
The staff were extremely polite and helpful with instructions on how to get around the city, and looked after our baggage when we went for a walk about the city after we had checked out.
The room was simply gorgeous - exquisitely - Anonymous
la vicinanza alla stazione ferroviaria, la cucina - Alberto
Everything was great.
Very spacious room and a nice welcome with a bottle of champagne (we were travelling on our honeymoon). We enjoyed the view on a small romantic channel with gondolas passing by (there are some rooms with windows overlooking the Grand Canal).
Excellent location, easy to find and get to (next to a water bus stop),and great for sightseeing and shopping (just a short stroll from San Marco with all designer stores on the way). - Anonymous
The location is superb. Quiet square with absolutely beautiful surroundings. Easily walking distance to outlying areas as well as the tourist-centric sites. Breakfast is impressive - not like most Venetian hotels, there is an extensive breakfast with coffee barista! Bathrooms were huge with jaccuzzi tubs. Staff were knowledgable and spoke impeccable English. I would not hesitate staying here again. In Venice, you don't always get what you pay for, but Palazzo Giglio delivers with luxury service - Anonymous

CAP payments to farmers: tenth report of session 2014-15: report, together with formal minutes, oral and written evidence.
House of Commons papers (2014-15) - 1143.
- Corporate Author:
- Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee
- Author:
- Anne McIntosh (chairman)
On 19 March the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) announced an abrupt change of policy on how farmers must make Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) applications under the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) introduced this year. Reversing the firm stance taken by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the RPA that applications must be made online only: claims are now to be submitted on paper. On 25 March, the Committee took oral evidence from Defra's Secretary of State, the Rt Hon Elizabeth Truss MP, and the RPA Chief Executive, Mark Grimshaw, asking both to explain the reasons for this sudden U turn and to identify its implications for farmers and the public purse. With the dissolution of Parliament imminent, this report sets out our immediate conclusions and identifies a number of questions which must be addressed by Defra and the RPA as a matter of urgency.

DFID's bilateral programme in Nepal: fourteenth report of session 2014-15: report, together with formal minutes relating to the report.
House of Commons papers (2014-15) - 854.
- Corporate Author:
- International Development Committee
- Author:
- Malcolm Bruce (chairman)
Nepal has the potential to make great economic progress if it can overcome the barriers which have held it back for so long. Hydro-schemes could transform the economy and there are huge opportunities for tourism in a country of great beauty which lies between the huge markets of India and China. Nepal has made impressive progress towards meeting many of the MDGs, particularly in health. The economy has grown, as remittances have increased from Nepalis working overseas. Yet Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and faces many challenges, which have held it back, including corruption, poor infrastructure, and political instability. Nepal is also one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, facing the challenges of earthquakes and the effects of climate change. DFID Nepal's budget has increased significantly in recent years. DFID claims that this has meant that over the last four years it has been able to have a major impact, including building or maintaining over 4,000km of roads in remote areas; providing over 350,000 people with safe latrines; improving the livelihoods of nearly 500,000 people through work on forestry; and making over 3 million people better able to withstand the effects of climate change and natural disasters.

Blacklisting in employment: final report: seventh report of session 2014-15: report, together with formal minutes relating to the report.
House of Commons papers (2014-15) - 272.
- Corporate Author:
- Scottish Affairs Committee
- Author:
- Ian Davidson (chairman)
The Committee says a voluntary code of conduct to eradicate the practice of blacklisting in the future is insufficient, and a statutory code of practice is required. Although the Committee is highly critical of the scheme and casts doubt over the motivations behind it, it does acknowledge that it is only those eight companies who set up the scheme - out of the 30 known to have used the services of The Consulting Agency (TCA) that ran the blacklisting service - who have taken any steps at all to remedy the sins of the past. The Committee identifies a series of flaws in the scheme, including: It was launched without the agreement of the trade unions (and its launch attempted to mask that fact); the low levels of compensation being offered; the fact that those participating in the High Court litigation are not eligible to access the scheme; the scheme's failure to incorporate any type of positive action measures to upskill and re-employ the victims of blacklisting. In this final report the Committee identified that many questions in relation to the practice of blacklisting remain unanswered, including the recent allegations in relation to police and security service involvement in blacklisting in the construction and other sectors. The Committee is specifically concerned as to whether the extent and breadth of the practice is fully known, and whether this odious practice is ongoing within the construction industry. The Committee is convinced that the only way to fully answer these questions is through a full Public Inquiry and it recommends that the Government take immediate steps to launch one.

Fit mind, fit job: from evidence to practice in mental health and work.
Mental health and work
- Corporate Author:
- Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
The costs of mental ill-health for individuals, employers and society at large are enormous. Mental illness is responsible for a very significant loss of potential labour supply, high rates of unemployment, and a high incidence of sickness absence and reduced productivity at work. Following an introductory report (Sick on the Job: Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work) and nine country reports, this final synthesis report summarizes the findings from the participating countries and makes the case for a stronger policy response.

Press briefing of the FCA's Business Plan for 2014/15: thirteenth report of session 2014-15: report, together with formal minutes relating to the report.
House of Commons papers (2014-15) - 881.
- Corporate Author:
- Treasury Committee
- Author:
- Andrew Tyrie (chairman)
On the evening of 27 March 2014, the Daily Telegraph published an article on its website describing a forthcoming thematic review by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) into the life insurance market. The same story appeared in the print edition of the Telegraph the following day. The story, based on an advance briefing given by the FCA to the Telegraph earlier that week, gave a misleading impression of the scope of the life insurance review, and was published before the FCA had made any official announcement of its own. When the markets opened on 28 March, the share prices of several leading life insurers began to fall heavily. Only when the FCA published a clarifying statement about the scope of the review - several hours later that day - did share prices begin to recover. On the day following the publication of the Telegraph article, the Chairman of this Committee called for a "full and transparent explanation about how such an apparently serious mistake came to be made by our financial services watchdog the body appointed by Parliament to enforce high standards of conduct". Simon Davis, Partner at Clifford Chance LLP, was subsequently appointed to conduct an investigation, and reported his findings in December 2014. The Committee records its thanks to Mr Davis for undertaking this work and for the evidence he gave to it.

Legacy report: ninth report of session 2014-15: report, together with formal minutes, oral and written evidence.
House of Commons papers (2014-15) - 1130.
- Corporate Author:
- Scottish Affairs Committee
- Author:
- Ian Davidson (chairman)
In this report the Committee has set out key elements of its work over the 2010-15 Parliament. The Committee believes that it is crucial that select committees follow up their work and do not simply see the publication of a report as the end of the process of scrutiny. Scrutiny should not end with the Dissolution of Parliament. The Scottish Government was clear that the 2014 referendum on independence would be a once generation event, but that does not mean that the relationship between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom will remain unchanged. The recommendations of the Smith Agreement will be implemented during the course of the next Parliament. The major package of legislation, and the revised fiscal framework that will accompany it, will require careful and detailed scrutiny, as will any proposals to go further that the Smith Commission envisaged.

Inter-governmental relations in the United Kingdom: 11th report of session 2014-15.
House of Lords papers (2014-15) - 146.
- Corporate Author:
- Select Committee on the Constitution
The Committee investigated how the UK Government and the devolved administrations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland interact. The main forum for these relations is the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC). The report labels the communiqués published after plenary JMC meetings between the leadership of each administration "bland and uninformative". The Committee states that the dates, venues and agenda items of JMC meetings should be announced further in advance and additional information should be published after the meetings. The Committee makes recommendations to enable greater parliamentary scrutiny of inter-governmental relations, including stating that government departments should detail in their annual reports their engagement with the devolved administrations.

Code of practice: Mental Health Act 1983. 2015 revision.
- Corporate Author:
- Department of Health. Welsh Office.
Since the last Mental Health Act 1983: Code of Practice was introduced in 2008 there have been substantial changes and updates in legislation, policy, case law, and professional practice. This revised Code reflects and embeds developments since then in areas including the use of restrictive interventions, seclusion, use of police powers to detain people in places of safety, and the use of community treatment orders. This Code of Practice provides statutory guidance to registered medical practitioners, approved clinicians, managers and staff of providers, and approved mental health professionals on how they should carry out functions under the Mental Health Act ('the Act') in practice. It is statutory guidance for registered medical practitioners and other professions in relation to the medical treatment of patients suffering from mental disorder. The guidance given in this Code of Practice to local authorities and their staff is statutory guidance given under section 7 of the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970. The aforementioned people to whom the Code is addressed must have regard to the Code. It is important that these persons have training on the Code and ensure that they are familiar with its requirements. As departures from the Code could give rise to legal challenge. The Code contains a chapter that gives guidance on the effect of the Act on the powers of donees of lasting power of attorney (attorneys) and court appointed deputies under the Mental Capacity Act 2005

Investigating clinical incidents in the NHS: sixth report of session 2014-15: report, together with formal minutes relating to the report.
House of Commons papers (2014-15) - 886.
- Corporate Author:
- Public Administration Select Committee
- Author:
- Bernard Jenkin (chairman)
PASC is inquiring into how incidents of clinical failure in the NHS are investigated - and how subsequent complaints are handled. The Committee is considering ways that untoward clinical incidents could be investigated immediately at a local level, so that facts and evidence are established early, without the need to find blame, and regardless of whether a complaint has been raised. It is hoped that this work will reduce the need for complaints to go to the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman (PHSO), whose main role relates to administrative and service failures in the NHS in England.

Care services for people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour: fifty-first report of session 2014-15: report, together with formal minutes relating to the report.
House of Commons papers (2014-15) - 973.
- Corporate Author:
- Committee of Public Accounts
- Author:
- Margaret Hodge (chairman)
The Winterbourne View scandal in 2011 exposed the horrific abuse of people with learning difficulties and challenging behaviour in a private mental health hospital. Concerns were also raised about a number of other institutions. As a result, the Government committed to discharging those individuals for whom it was appropriate back into their homes and communities. However, since then, too many children and adults have continued to go into mental health hospitals, and to stay there unnecessarily, because of the lack of community alternatives. The number of people with learning disabilities remaining in hospital has not fallen, and has remained broadly the same at around 3,200. It was refreshing that NHS England took responsibility for this lack of progress and has now committed to develop a closure programme for large NHS mental health hospitals, along with a transition plan for the people with learning disabilities within these hospitals, from 2016-17. Discharges from hospital are being delayed because funding does not follow the individual when they are discharged into the community. This acts as a financial disincentive for local commissioners who have to bear the costs and responsibility for planning and commissioning community services. Delaying discharge has the effect of institutionalising people, making their reintegration into the community more difficult. Some local authorities' reluctance to accept and fund individuals in the community will be exacerbated by current financial constraints. The Department should set out its proposals for 'dowry-type' payments from NHS England to meet the costs of supporting people discharged from hospital.

The Boxer Opens in Boston
Monday May 20th, 2013 - 2:49PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
BOSTON—The Boxer, a full-service boutique hotel, has opened following a multi-million dollar renovation.
Hersha Hospitality Trust acquired the 80-room hotel in May 2012, previously named the Bulfinch Hotel. The Boxer joins the Independent Collection, a portfolio of boutique hotels inspired by authentic neighborhoods, local heritage and indigenous travel experiences.
The Boxer occupies Boston's historic Flatiron Building, built in 1904 on the western edge of the Bulfinch Triangle. J. Brice Design of Boston redesigned the hotel with an industrial chic aesthetic, weaving in elements of its New England roots. An 1860s archived map of Boston spans the lobby ceiling, while a vintage hotel key rack with antique style gold keys greets guests checking in at the front desk.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

Do miniatures set rose hips or do they "self-deadhead"?
Ronn BonitesMarch 3, 2013
My Apricot Midinette has some spent blooms that already self-pollinated. I haven't deadheaded some blooms yet to see if they are gonna set some hips, but I checked this morning and the spent blooms look dry. Is this normal?
Here's a pic of one of the spent blooms on the right.

"Sterile story. Worst Audible Reader. Buy the book."
I read Isaacon's biography of Benjamin Franklin in print and found it sterile and too exhaustive. The soul of the man was buried in too many meaningless details for the reader to endure. He has done the same overwrought thing to Jobs. Combine that with this really awful reader and it's mess. I suggest reading the hard copy.
Interesting - Jobs didn't wear shoes or bathe a lot.
Least interesting - just about everything else. What a disappointment.
I will run screaming for the door the next time I hear the guy's voice. Maybe it was bad microphones, maybe he's going through puberty. The tonal quality of his voice is indescribably awful. He sounds like a 7th grader having a bad day. Did he get paid for this?
No. Most people know the products but not the guy. He was very successful but a bit creepy and was only personally a cult figure within a small circle. The Facebook\Oprah\WWF culture that buys movie tickets won't be interested.
Keanu Reeves could play the part.
I have listened to over a hundred books in the last few years and it's an accomplishment to be the worst. This is tied for worst with Zbiegnew Brzezinski reading his own book Second Chance.

Sony Car Cradle offers more than charging on the move
By Mike Hanlon
Saturday Auguat 9, 2003
Sony have released a Car Cradle Accessory that boosts CLIE handheld functionality to include GPS Navigation, Audio playback of MP3 and text-to-voice for read-back of email or appointment reminders. The PEGA-CC5 car cradle accessory also plugs into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket to power the cradle unit and recharge the handheld's internal battery.
The GPS Assist Navigation system displays the car's location and direction of movement through the CLIE handheld screen and the cradle unit provides turn-by-turn directions with voice prompts (although this requires PC and Internet connection for route set-up).
The Audio function provides playback of digital music files stored on
Memory Stick media using car audio speakers through the FM transmitter.
A Remote Commander remote control unit also enables wireless control of certain CLIE software applications and CLIE car cradle functions.Share

HTC's official site has commenced the countdown for its next flagship smartphone and to lend more hype to the upcoming unveiling of the HTC M7 or HTC One, a new image of the handset was leaked online.
Again, the picture was provided by prolific tech scooper @evleaks via Twitter showing off the white HTC smartphone in a redesigned profile, departing from the device pattern followed by the Taiwanese firm on its previous gadget offerings.
The alleged press shot also revealed, slightly, a metallic finish on the side of the former M7, closely resembling the signature build employed by Apple with the past three versions of iPhone.
The front interface presented the usual Android icons mixed with HTC's new Sense 5 rendition though a reconfiguration of the main phone controls below the screen was easily noticeable.
It appears that the new HTC One or HTC M7 has pushed the capacitive Home button farther right, its centre position now occupied by the company logo. The return key is now on the left side.
The new phone will also sport front stereo speakers, situated at the top and bottom portion, sandwiching its reported 4.7-inch 1080p screen.
Note that the image is not from HTC and what we would see come the expected Feb 19 preview of the HTC One could radically deviate from the renders that have been circulating lately.
Regardless, HTC is certainly bringing another smartphone that will likely flash the following specs: a 1.7GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM, a 4.3 UltraPixel front cam, a Full HD screen and LTE connectivity.
The handset will stand on the latest JellyBean, reports said, but should be ready once Google has unleashed the long-awaited Key Lime Pie.
Analysts are closely watching if the HTC M7 or HTC One will be able to reverse the sliding fortunes of the Taiwan-based gadget maker following its string of revenue declines in the past quarters.
Its new push will signal if HTC will reclaim the Android leadership it lost to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones.

Egress Window - Outside wall?
We're building a window well with retaining wall block for a future egress window. Should we do anything to the exterior of the foundation wall before laying retaining wall block against it?
I'm debating if we should try to put a layer of concrete over the surface or black water proofing tar, just patch cracks as best as we can (with what I'm not sure, since I think our block has a higher amount of lime than typical portland cement patching mixes), or leave as is and call it good enough. Any thoughts?
Some background: The foundation wall is 100 year old concrete block. Not perfect condition by any means, but not bad considering the age. There's some minor small cracks and dinged spots but nothing memorably bad. Our soil is pure sand with some pebbles about 8-12 inches below the surface. We just had the yard extensively regraded over the summer to address drainage issues and a lot of dirt was removed, including the dirt for the window wells.
If the wall is not leaking now, dampproofing or waterproofing a two-foot section won't make any difference.
Portland cement parging followed by asphalt cutback is a typical dampproofing. If the cracks are more than surface imperfections, you can patch them with polyurethane injections.
In addition or instead, you can use sections of bubble membrane such as Delta MS over the exposed areas.
The sand there now is the perfect drainage material. Moisture doesn't linger on that wall looking for the path of least resistance into your basement.

a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
an answer to a rarely asked question. If price is a reward for production, why do we pay for land, never produced by any of us? What is land price a reward for? Good behavior? How much money do we spend on the nature we use? Who gets it? What do they do with it? (If you answer all these correctly, you're not a genius but a geoist.) The worth of Earth is enough that were we to collect and share it, we could abolish taxes on the goods we do produce. For example, San Francisco's Redefining Progress has calculated that Cali-fornia could abolish all state and local taxes were it to collect the values of resources and of using na-ture as a dump. By exorcising the profit motive from depletion and pollution, rent collection could replace bossy regulation. Economies could self-regulate, as the rest of the eco-system does. See how big problems yield to big answers when we ask the right questions?
an economic policy based on the earth's natural patterns. Eco-systems self-regulate by using feedback loops to keep balance. Can economies do likewise? Why don't they now produce efficiently and distribute fairly? The answers lie in the money we spend on the earth we use. To attain people/planet harmony, that financial flow from sites and resources must visit each of us. Our agent, government, must collect this natural rent via fees and disburse the collected revenue via dividends. And, it must forgo taxes on homes and earnings, and quit subsidies of either the needy or the greedy. As our steward, government must also collect Ecology Security Deposits, require Restoration Insurance, and auction off the occasional Emissions Permit. And that's about it – were nature our model.
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.
a way to redirect all the money we spend on the nature we use – trillions of dollars annually. We can't pay the Creator of sites and resources and are mistaken to pay their owners this biggest stream in our economy. Instead, as owners we should pay our neighbors for respecting our claims to land. Owners could pay in land dues to the public treasury, a la Sydney Australia's land tax, and residents could get back a "rent" dividend, a la Alaska's oil dividend. We'd pay for owning sites, resources, EM spectrum, or emitting pollutants into the ecosphere, then get a fair share of the recovered revenue. The economy would finally have a thermostat, the dividend. When it's small, people would work more; when it's big, they'd work less. Sharing Earth's worth, we could jettison counterproductive taxes and addictive subsidies. Prices would become precise; things like sprawl, sprayed food, gasoline engines, coal-burning plants would no longer seem cheap; things like compact towns, organic foods, fuel cells, and solar powers would become affordable. Getting shares, people could spend their expanded leisure socializing, making art, enjoying nature, or just chilling. Economies let us produce wealth efficiently; geonomics lets us share it fairly.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old log-gers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.

Having visited many inland places it was time (and still warm enough) to head to the beach. This involved the incredible Llogaraja Pass, which runs along a section of the coast before reaching the beautifully undeveloped section of the Albanian coast just up from Greece. We spent our time swimming, enjoying a few beers and scarily booking ferries for the future journey back through Europe to the UK.

There's nothing worse then getting ready to take a guitar solo and have a string break or have your speaker blow out.
It appears the equivalent is happening to virtual Xbox 360 rock gods – reports are coming in that many Guitar Hero II X-plorer guitars have unresponsive whammy bars.
It also seems that there are two variants of the X-Plorer (see photo,) one with the pedal jack near the power cord and one with the pedal jack on the bottom of the guitar. The whammy-bar issue apparently is happening in the variant with the pedal jack near the power cord, but some have reported the opposite.
Message boards have been lighting up regarding the Star Power-destroying problem, including mention that some Target stores are refusing to sell the game or the controller, saying that there has been a recall.
There's absolutely no confirmation of this yet, the handfull of Target stores we called didn't know anything about a recall. We have calls out to Red Octane and haven't heard anything yet, so don't get your guitar straps in a bundle just yet.
Are you having problems with your X-plorer controller? Sound off below, let us know.

Grizz OK playing Hubie Ball
Updated: December 3, 2003, 6:42 PM ETBy Peter May | Special to ESPN.com
Back when Hubie Brown broke into the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks as an assistant in 1972, he took notice of a couple things. First, the team was pretty good; it had won the NBA title in 1971 and, in his two years in Milwaukee, the Bucks would win 119 games and finish first in their division each season.
Second, he saw what happens, firsthand, when guys who think they should be playing are, in fact, not playing. The latter observation shaped his coaching philosophy to this day.

Georgeff Update
Ron Geogeff is struggling after his recent surgery. Here's some of what his ex-wife Ann reports:
I visited Ron yesterday at Hartford Hospital. Ron appears to be really out of it, on loads of IV-delivered pain meds and fluids. He's in a LOT of pain as soon as his meds start to wear off. It seems that the medical staff there pays a lot of attention to his needs, and there are a LOT of different people involved in his care. When he is given a new dose of meds, it puts him to sleep. At least, then, he looks pain free.
Ron cannot speak even whisper, much less talk, & he cannot hold a pencil or marker. Our daughter Lucy drives up and down from Vermont. She's a really good lip-reader. Alas, I am not a good lip-reader. Our son is also in town from Vermont, staying at Ron's, working long hours and long-distance via computer with his company. Ron's sister is flying in from out of state this evening.
Yesterday, Lucy showed Ron the emails that Hartford Hospital printed out for him, but it's unclear how much he was able to absorb that information. At any rate, the family really appreciates those kindnesses of his former colleagues. It's great that Hartford Hospital provides a link for people to email its patients.
There was some talk among staff last night that Ron might be moved from yesterday's room to another room, so best for people to check with Hartford Hospital to learn his current location.
~ Ann
Georgeff Undergoing Surgery
Our buddy and longtime Courant journalist Ron Georgeff is undergoing a challenging transition.
Former copy editor Mike Prager, aka, Marbs, has been in touch with Ron's ex-wife, Ann Corcoran, and she shared that Ron entered Hartford Hospital Thursday and is to have a tracheotomy Saturday that will deliver oxygen to his lungs — without his having to do the breathing.
Ron has had difficulty breathing for a long time, and carried an oxygen bottle wherever he went. But the most significant part of this change is that there is a chance it will require a move to a full-time care facility. No return to his apartment for independent living. Ron spoke to Larry Williams and said will be in the hospital a week, then go to the Hospital for Special Care in New Britain for rehab, and from there possibly to Avery Heights for more rehab. Whether he stays there or goes home will depend on his progress.
Larry also said this: "Deena and I saw 'The Theory of Everything' today. Hawking has a tracheotomy and can't talk after that; it was known beforehand, and not the result of some error. So I asked Ron if he would be able to talk, and he said yes. Thank God."
Ann reports that Ron is very upbeat. His surgery is 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, she said:
"Some time ago, Ron told me he'd like to go to Avery Heights when he needed more care, so I told our daughter that, and both of us have left evening messages for Avery Heights to call us back. So Ron's pleased that Avery Heights is sort of in the works."
"He couldn't think of anything he'd need, but he would like a book to read. He likes the hospital food. I told him that when I was in a nursing home (after my own surgery), that I loved the food because I love any food that somebody else makes."
I'm sure all Courant alumni and his friends still at the paper wish him the best in coping with this new challenge.
Ron's phone is (860) 545 – 4455.
Connecticut Grown
Strike a blow for Courant independence!
Word leaks out that the Courant will be editing more of its copy again instead of shipping it off to Chicago.
That may make the new consolidated downstairs newsroom a little more cozy; and is certainly a step, if even a small one, away from Big Brother.

All right Mike Kodas! He gives a great interview, no?
