How economies work – and don't
the policy that the earth's natural patterns suggests. Use the eco-system's self-regulating feedback loops as a model. What then needs changing? Basically, the flow of money spent to own or use Earth (both sites and resources) must visit each of us. Our agent, government, exists to collect this natural rent via fees and to disburse the collected revenue via dividends. Doing this, we could forgo taxes on homes and earnings and subsidies of either the needy or the greedy. For more, see our web site, our pamphlet of the title above, or any of our other lit pieces; ask for our literature list.
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
an alternative to conventional land trusts. Just as it seems some functions should not be left to the market – private courts and cops invite corruption (while private mediation is fine) – just so some land should not be left in the market. That said, sacred sites do not make much of a model for treating the vast acreage of land that we need to use. So the usual trust model, which is anti-use and counter-market, can not apply where it's needed most. Trust proponents worry about ownership and control – two very human ambitions – but they're not central. Supposedly, we the people own millions acres – acres that private corporations treat as private fiefdoms – and conversely, the Nature Conservancy owns wilderness the public can some places use as parks. So, the issue is not who owns but who gets the rent – ideally, all of us.
a POV that Spain's president might try. A few blocks from my room in Madrid at a book fair to promote literacy, Sr Zapatero, while giving autographs and high fives to kids, said books are very expensive and he'd see about getting the value added tax on them cut down to zero. (El Pais, June 4; see, politicians can grasp geo-logic.) But why do we raise the cost of any useful product? Why not tax useless products? Even more basic: is being better than a costly tax good enough? Our favorite replacement for any tax is no tax: instead, run government like a business and charge full market value for the permits it issues, such as everything from corporate charters to emission allowances to resource leases. These pieces of paper are immensely valuable, yet now our steward, the state, gives them away for nearly free, absolutely free in some cases. Government is sitting on its own assets and needs merely to cash in by doing what any rational entity in the economy does – negotiate the best deal. Then with this profit, rather than fund more waste, pay the stakeholders, we citizenry, a dividend. Thereby geonomics gets rid of two huge problems. It replaces taxes with full-value fees and replaces subsidies for special interests with a Citizens Dividend for people in general. Neither left nor right, this reform is what both nature lovers and liberty lovers need to promote, right now.
about the money we spend on the nature we use. It flows torrentially yet invisibly, often submerged in the price of housing, food, fuel, and everything else. Flowing from the many to the few, natural rent distorts prices and rewards unjust and unsustainable choices. Redirected via dues and dividends to flow from each to all, "rent" payments would level the playing field and empower neighbors to shrink their workweek and expand their horizons. Modeled on nature's feedback loops, earlier proposals to redirect rent found favor with Paine, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Wherever tried, to the degree tried, redirecting rent worked. One of today's versions, the green tax shift, spreads out of Europe. Another, the Property Tax Shift, activists can win at the local level, building a world that works right for everyone.
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 study of Earth's economic worth, of the money we spend on the nature we use, trillions of dollars each year. We spend most to be with our own kind; land value follows population density. Besides nearness to downtowns, we also pay for proximity to good schools, lovely views, soil fertility, etc. These advantages, sellers did not create. So we pay the wrong people for land. Instead, we should pay our neighbors. They generate land's value and deserve compensation for keeping off ours, as they'd pay us for keeping off theirs. It's mutual compensation: we'd replace taxes with land dues – a bit like Hong Kong does – and replace subsidies with "rent" dividends to area residents – a bit like Alaska does with oil revenue. Both taxes and subsidies – however fair or not – are costly and distort the prices of the goods taxed and the services subsidized. By replacing them and letting prices become precise, we reveal the real costs of output, the real values of consumers. Then, just by following the bottom line, people can choose to conserve and prosper automatically. A community could start by shifting its property tax off buildings, onto land – a bit like a score of towns in Pennsylvania do; every place that has done it has benefited.
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.
more transformation than reform; it's a step ahead. Harvard economics students this year did petition to change the curriculum, in the wake of the English who caught the dissension from across The Channel. French reformers, who fault conventional economics for conjuring mathematical models of little empirical relevance and being closed to critical and reflective thought, reject this "autism" – or detachment from reality – and dub their offering "post-autistic economics". Not a bad name, but again, academics define themselves by what they're not, not by what they are, unlike geonomists. We track rent – the money we spend on the nature we use – and watch it pull all the other economic indicators in its wake. We see economies as part of the ecosystem, similarly following natural patterns and able to self-regulate more so than allowed, once we quit distorting prices. To align people and planet, we'd replace taxes and subsidies with recovering and sharing rents.

Street Safety, Skopje
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
when in skopje if you are surounded by begging gangs put your back up against a wall so they cannot get hehind you, also watch out for the news paper trick were they push news paper against you then go into your pockets, this happend to me once and only once i just cliped one of them round the ear told them to clear of then they leave you alone. or if ur drinking in the irish pub just tell the stuff in there you are going outside they will always come with you very very kind people in there and you will always find english people in there drinking but i must say grat place to visit
Watch out for the gypsy kids near the Holiday Inn and Irish Pub on the river. They are very aggressive and work together as a team in a well coordinated attack. Two girls approached me and started grabbing my arms and begging for money while three little boys were in my pockets searching for anything they could steal. They would unzip my coat pockets without me even knowing it. Luckily, I had all my property consolidated in one pocket so they could not get it. If I would not have known about them, they probably would have had my phone, camera, and wallet no problems. DO NOT underestimate these little thieves. They are aggressive. I will consider using pepper spray next time, if they are going to steal, they will have to pay the consequences!
If you come from a place where cars stop, or at least slow down at pedestrian crossings, then beware! It seems to be the exact opposite in Skopje. Cars either continue on as though the crossing lines are invisable, or they speed up to scare any brave souls who think there are good drivers out there. Many people are killed at pedestrian crossings, particularly the elderly.
Because everyone parks wherever they like, most of the cars are parked on the pedestrian sidewalks, particularly around the centre. This means that pedestrians have to walk on the street or weave their way between the cars. Watch out for people reversing in all directions and generally a total disrespect for any road rules.
An additional hazad is traffic lights. People often go through red lights especially at peak times, so even though you might have a green light, be very aware of the traffic around you
Some of the run down, claustrophobic streets on the north side made me feel a bit edgy, but in general the city felt safe to walk around at all times of the day or night, especially in the streets near Makedonija Square. I only saw one beggar, and there was no hassle from anyone of any kind.
The alerts about Roma (gypsy) gangs were brought home to me last night,
Good Friday evening. It might seem insensitive to stereotype a group of people that have been much maligned, but the danger is real.
Coming out of the Opera House after watching an outstanding dance performance, friends and I had our guards down while walking on the bank of the Vardar River near Holiday Inn. In the blink of an eye, a Roma family (mother with baby in arms, a boy) came after one of us. I went to help and was then accosted by one small boy, who had his hands on me.
Before my brain caught on to the danger I saw that my purse had been opened and my wallet, which was in a zippered compartment under a buttoned flap, was missing. I had the child in hand and demanded my wallet back, but amidst the confusion the boy wriggled away.
I recognized my own stupidity at once. But I managed to do one thing right: before the little thief managed to take off I told him that he could keep my money but I wanted the rest of my wallet back - I said I would give him money if he brought back my wallet.
My heart sank after he disappeared, because my only ATM card was in the wallet and I just knew I would never see it again. Even though there were lots of people around in the area, no onlooker came to my assistence in spite of my shouts of "thief". The area was dimly lit in phorescent lights and no policeman was on patrol.
But a miracle happened: the little scum took my bait and came back with the wallet, with all money i(including coins) emptied but the cards intact. He asked for the money I mentioned but my friends refused to give him any - the boy left with a scream of anguish.
I was extremely lucky but I fear that others will not in the hands of this little thief. In all likelihood my wallet, with the ATM card and credit cards that I so need, would have been tossed into the Vardar River after the money was taken out.
I would advise anyone to carefully watch where they walk (especially in the dark) because I have seen open/ broken manhole covers and storm drains. It would be very easy to break an ankle (or worse) and this would ruin your overall impression of Skopje !!
Ok, in my opinion I don't think Skopje is a particularly dangerous city. I mean, like in any other city, there are certain areas that I wouldn't suggest visiting (like certain locations where it is simply known that there are dealers), but other than that it is a city where you can take a walk in the middle of the night and "survive" just fine.
When traveling by car, make sure your doors are locked and windows rolled up. There are a lot of Gypsy's around town that try to wash windows when stopped at traffic lights. If you don't give them money they will try to open your car doors.

I am trying to talk with hardware device through virtual COM port. Host computer is PC Windows OS PC. Device is working with 921600 baud rate. This code works:
DCB dcb; ... dcb.BaudRate = CBR_115200; SetCommState(hPort, &dcb);
Once I change baud rate:
dcb.BaudRate = 921600;
SetCommState fails with last error
0x57 (parameter is incorrect). Does this mean that Windows API prevents any baud rate except predefined values? Or maybe, virtual COM port may be configured to allow this baud rate?
Virtual COM port is part of CameraLink connection. I am talking with CameraLink board vendor. But I need to know whether Windows serial communications API support custom baud rates.

Can Log In but Stuck at Retrieving Characters
I have been able to login to STO and play successfully for a few hours, but about 20mins ago (6.50pm GMT) I got "Server Not Responding" and it got stuck on a loading screen for about 5mins with no progress bar. I quit STO and since I've tried to log back in, it logs in but gets stuck at "Retrieving Characters".
How can I sort this?
I used to have the EU Proxy set, but then have since read the thread about if you couldn't log in or got Disconnected from the Account server (which I did get quite a bit) to switch to No Proxy, which I have done.

In addition to ushering out Tom Cruise himself to talk about the movie, Warner Bros showed off the film's new poster – featuring Cruise in full 'kill' gear.
More soon..
The epic action of "Edge of Tomorrow" unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

Top Online Advertising Verification Services
List of online advertising verification products and services. Online ad verification involves placing ads along with a bit of code (usually javascript) that reports back information and data about not only the ad's performance but the users looking at that ad. The goal is to allow marketers and advertisers to make quick decisions about the efficacy of an advertising campaign, and to make changes if necessary. (A good example would be an advertiser who only wanted to advertise to a certain demographic - say, people living in Los Angeles. Ad verification can show them how many users saw the ad who were or were not living in that geographical area, so that they can measure the effectiveness of the campaign compared to their goals and evaluate their working relationship with the publishers or ad networks.

Book cheap Leeds hotels
Best Time to Stay
Leeds City Guide
One of the North's industrial powerhouses, Leeds came of age during the boom and bustle of the Industrial Revolution. From its humble origins as a Roman settlement and a medieval trading post, Leeds grew to a metropolis, flush with cash and eager to impress its status on the rest of Britain and the world. Today, Leeds boasts amazing Victorian architecture, the legacy of that brash civic pride, as well as world-class museums, shopping and other attractions.
Victorian Architecture
Leeds is famed for its 19th-century architecture, most of which is in the pedestrianised city centre. The Town Hall, built between 1853 and 1858, has been called an example of "Northern civic bombast," an expression of the city's Victorian prosperity and power.
The Town Hall plays host to concerts, performances and special exhibitions throughout the year. Also unmissable is St Anne's Catholic Cathedral, a beautiful expression of the 19th-century Arts and Crafts style. Another Victorian landmark is the Corn Exchange, the elliptical glass-domed shopping centre that stands at the heart of the quirky, vibrant Exchange quarter.
Leeds's most famous museum is the Royal Armouries Museum, located at Clarence Dock. This massive collection includes over 8,000 weapons and pieces of armour, from swords and maces to rifles and machine guns. The highlight of the collection is the stunning elephant armour, an intricate system of chain mail and metal plates that would have turned the animal into a monstrous medieval tank.
In the heart of the city, Leeds City Museum features free exhibits on world and local history, with exhibits ranging from Egyptian mummies to representations of Leeds's modern, diverse culture. The Art Gallery and Henry Moore Institute bring the best of art from around the world into the centre of Leeds – the Moore Institute focuses on sculpture in particular.
Dining and nightlife
You don't have to spend a lot to eat well in Leeds. You can if you want to, of course – Michelin-starred Anthonys in the city centre is among the city's best restaurants, and also one of the most popular. Be sure to book ahead. At the lower end of the price range, though, Leeds offers a bewildering diversity of different styles, from American pizza and burgers at the Belgrave Music Hall to North African delicacies at Cafe Moor in Kirkgate Market. A local favourite is the Greedy Pig, which adds sophisticated modern touches to the traditional fry-up. Don't let the presence of Spam baps on the menu fool you; this is a serious approach to the familiar bacon roll.
Leeds has a large and diverse night life, driven by the student population of its two universities, but thankfully not every bar is a deafening student hangout. The areas around Call Lane in the Exchange quarter are home to stylish bars, while the region around Briggate is a bustling centre of bars and clubs. One bar in this area, North Bar, was named the best place to drink in Britain by The Observer.
Summer is when Leeds comes fully to life, with annual festivals such as the Waterfront Festival, which sees boats swarm the water around Armouries Square. A hotly-contested Dragon Boat race is the highlight of the festival. Late May and early June are also the time for the annual food festival, which attracts gourmets from all across the country. Perhaps the most famous of the city's festivals is the International Concert Season, which runs throughout the summer, with over 200 events in venues all around the city.
History lovers will enjoy the special events hosted at the Royal Armouries, where trained experts recreate medieval life and warfare, including jousting, hawking, the proper use of plate armour and hand-to-hand combat.
Where to stay
Leeds hotels range from the luxurious but pricey to the more affordable. The stunning Portland stone art deco facade of the Queens Hotel is a major city landmark. Other notable hotels in Leeds include 42 The Calls, a boutique hotel located near the Exchange Quarter.
Not every hotel in Leeds is a historic luxury building. There are good budget ones as well. For instance, the Express by Holiday Inn Armouries provides budget accommodation at Clarence Dock, moments from the Royal Armouries Museum and a short walk from the city centre. This area, once neglected, has undergone major renovation, with new buildings springing up along the banks of the canals that once brought coal to fuel the city's industrial heart.
When to visit
A visit to Leeds in autumn or winter is a good idea, as long as you don't mind some rain and cold weather. A better time to visit is from late spring to late summer. Summers in Leeds are mild and typically dry, with highs averaging around 21 C (about 70 F) during the hottest months of the year. May and September are also good times to visit.
Getting there
Leeds Bradford International Airport is mainly a destination for local flights, with few long hauls. However, it's relatively easy to get there from around the world by changing at Amsterdam.
Additionally, Leeds is easy to reach by train – around two to three hours from London's King's Cross station – or by car.

Here is a continuing update detailing, in greater depth, various points of "The Plan" designed to address the reasoning behind these ideas and the objections some have voiced.
(1) All persons must have health insurance from the private sector or government sponsored plans.
Many have objected to this as a violation of personal choice and freedom. However, I would suggest that it is a dereliction of civic responsibility (if such a thing still exists in America) to force others (fellow citizens, doctors, hospitals, insurers, government - i.e. taxpayers) to pick up the tab for you when you become very sick or injured (as you WILL at some point in this life). By mandating coverage with penalties, just as we do for auto insurance, we put personal responsibility back in the equation. It has been far too long since that was the case as the government in particular, along with big labor and big business to varying degrees, have sought to remove responsibility from the individual and to displace it to some other entity.
(2) Proof of insurance would be required to get any type of license, enroll in school, apply for job, yearly confirmation will be required, etc. just as with automobile insurance.
Like all mandates, those without teeth fail. Therefore, there needs to be a "stick" which can be applied in the course of daily life, as opposed to a medical emergency (when no person will be denied care). The suggestion here is that all persons would be effected by these type of requirements and therefore the need to make sure that they have health coverage would be a stron g driver for compliance.
(3) Fine of $1,000 if presenting to Doctor, Hospital, etc., for service without insurance, and must pay all expenses for services.
This item is potentially more problematic, but only in the case of a TRUE emergency. It would also require the cooperation of health care workers, doctors, offices, hospitals, clinics, etc. to report offenders. This is not necessarily the ideal scenario, however, along with point number 2, it forms the basis of a credible strategy to ensure compliance with point number 1, which, after all, is the real goal.
(4) The truly financially disadvantaged should be folded into the current Medicaid system with revisions; in that they should pay needs based premiums. As such, Medicaid, Medicare, disability, workers compensation, Government employees, Veterans, Retirement and children's programs would not be significantly changed.
Here we get to one of the major issues, coverage (and access) for those without means to acquire private coverage in the marketplace. There is much to debate about each of the programs mentioned here. Many things can and should be changed about how these programs work. However, if we try to fix ALL issues in the system at once, the most major items of reform will not occur. Therefore, we MUST focus on what is achievable and provides the most benefit within the framework of our currently established free market/government based system. Expansion of these current forms of tax payer subsidized coverage should continue for the near term. Over time, some of these programs can be merged, rearranged or even eliminated without affecting the base of coverage provided.
(5) All company-sponsored programs would be phased out over three years (better than a tax break).
This will strike some as a major politically incorrect proposal. However, if we are to restore personal responsibility back to the system we must do so by removing the need for businesses, which are clearly not in the health insurance business, from it. Business should not be in the health business, but in business. The morass created by having to have benefit coordinators (who spend most of their time on health insurance matters) instead of focused on traditional benefits (retirement, vacation, leave, etc., etc.) is inefficient and costly. Elimination of the need for businesses to carry these costs will result in markedly reduced overhead, which is even better than a tax break to expand their current coverage systems as some have suggested.
(6) Minimum wage increased by $2.00 per hour so low income workers would have no excuse to offer for not having coverage.
Again, there will be resistance in many quarters to this proposal. As we well know, the minimum wage is in the process of being increased as we speak ($6.55 effective July 24, 2008 and then again rising to $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009). However, a further increase as suggested beyond this is a better format than asking businesses of all sizes to carry the full load for providing health insurance, which should be a personal responsibility. For a full time worker, this $2 increase translates to $4,160 per year ($2 x 2080 hours). That is more than sufficient for workers to purchase their own health care coverage within the context of the full plan as outlined here.
(7) Private health insurance should be re-structured to function as a regulated utility. Their rate structure should be only that needed to operate (process payments, review claims etc) plus a set profit of not more than 8-10%. Rates to be set nationally not state by state, or group by group.
Another very controversial approach. This site favors open markets and market based solutions to problems. However, if we view health care as a national security issue and personal citizen responsibility (not necessarily a 'right' as some would argue) then it is fairly easy to justify some set controls on health insurance premiums and rates. At present, there is little control, and since product offerings vary so widely and offer insurers so many avenues to deny claims, theremust be some balance put into play.
(8) Eliminate state oversight of health insurers in terms of rates. Continued monitoring implementation of federal standards.
Again, not something that is offered lightly in view of this sites overall positive attitude to state (read local) versus federal controls. Nevertheless, the current set up creates a situation where health insurers can cherry pick not only those they will cover, but which states offer the most favorable climate for them (read profitability). States have a role to play as umpires but there must be a uniform playbook to govern all health insurers.
(9) As a regulated utility, the prices set should be wholly market based and not risk stratified for individuals or select groups
Basically, this is no different than offering any other product for sale. The price is not based on WHO is doing the buying, but based on the value of the product being offered as set by the overall buyers in the marketplace. By offering coverage to ALL individuals, the risk is shared and a proper premium structure, along with surcharges if needed, can be arrived at. The current system allows for some of this. However, all to often the result is denial of coverage from the get go or limitations on coverage, such as pre-existing condition exclusions. Also, we often see groups (such as women) adversely rated, forcing them to pay higher premiums based on their sex alone, not any other factor. This needs to be eliminated.
(10) Adoption of item 9 means pre-coverage physicals, pre-existing condition exemptions and the like will no longer be necessary – the premium is set and if I can afford it I buy it. I cannot be denied coverage for non-financial reasons. Companies will have to compete on efficiency of their systems and overall quality of their services.
As an outgrowth of item 9, this is perhaps among the most important of all tenants of this proposal. The major obstacles to health insurance access are limitations imposed by insurers on who they will cover and financial resources. The former can be EASILY remedied by adoption of national standards prohibiting discrimination in the purchase of health insurance. The latter can be dealt with through the current programs in place (as discussed above in item 4) as well as adjustments in the minimum wage and tax credits as needed.
(11) The base package of services required to be offered is pre set and supplements can be offered. Minimum basic policy defined (like auto insurance) with individual deciding on increased benefits. However, the base must be very broad to make sure the pricing factors in overall gross population risks, as opposed to sub group risks. Minimum basic policy defined (like auto insurance) with individual deciding on increased benefits.
What should be in the base package? First, all aspects of a major medical policy should be included. Second, emergent care. Third, preventative services (vaccinations, screenings, etc.). Fourth, basic materinty coverage for women and families. Deductibles can be varied to adjust price, as they are now, however, there should be limits on how high deductibles can be set for primary policies.
(12) Fine of $100,000 to any insurance company that denies writing the policy (basic) regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, genetic assessment, pre-conditions, etc. Policies are not cancelable except by death or lack of financial qualification of coverage under item (1) above.
This site does not like onerous enforcement tools. Again, however, insurers need to know that there are penalties which will be applied if they discriminate against policy seekers for ANY reason other than inability to afford premiums. Individuals must be able to purchase coverage regardless of their health status which can and will vary from time to time.
(13) No limitation on sale of health insurance products across state lines. This means that consumers in all 50 states would be able to choose among all licensed plans sold in the United States.
This increase in choice and options will help insure competitive rates in the marketplace. The current system allows health insurers to cherry pick states and communities, with excessive rating of certain areas. By expanding to regional and national markets, health insurers can more easily spread their risk over the entire population insured.
(14) Hospitals and similar, fined $50,000 for refusing to treat presenting patients (patient non-compliance, refusal of treatment by patient, leaving against medical advice etc. would remain in force as currently practiced).
As noted in item 12, this site does not like onerous enforcement tools. Still, major health provider sites such as hospitals, emergency rooms and the like, must accept any patient presenting for care. Currently, all do, and there are federal laws in effect which govern much of their behavior in this area. However they are exposed both financially and legally in many cases by the current system. At this time, hospitals must treat individuals that present, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. That means that emergency rooms are generally major financial losers for most institutions. The best way to overcome this is to increase the numbers of patients who have coverage via the mechanisms outlined above, so the current financial exposure is drastically reduced.
(15) Physicians and all other health care providers fined for refusal to treat $25,000 (dismissal of patients for non-compliance or other ethically accepted reasons as outlined by the professions would be maintained).
Again, as noted, it would be this site's preference not to propose this. However, physicians and other individual providers must be willing to accept all patients who present to them for treatment. This is already the case for doctors who are on call for emergency room duty at hospitals nationwide. In the office or clinic setting this is also true, except that non emergent patients who lack coverage or ability to pay can be turned away. This proposal would not change that scenario for elective visits but would change it in fact since most if not all citizens would have health insurance coverage, which would make non coverage and / or non payment a non event.
(16) True tort reform will be instituted nationwide. Tort reform must include caps on damages for pain and suffering, but should still allow for medical cost recoup as well as any expected longer term medical costs to be recovered.
The current system encourages lawsuits. Additionally, lawyers almost always "blanket" sue, ensnaring anyone who was even remotely involved in the patients care or who is named in the medical record for any reason, even if they never care for or saw the patient. This creates a web of defensive medicine at every level in the system. Since this practice is systemic, it is very difficult to accurately gauge it in economic terms. However, the impact is large and accounts for billions of dollars of unnecessary tests and procedures annually. It also contributes to an endless stream of documentation as providers and facilities seek to justify every, single action taken in the care of patients. This time is wasted and better spent actually taking care of the ill.

Remembering last season's dahlias...
People unfamiliar with growing dahlias would wonder why I stare at a piece of root with such adoration... But when you know what amazing blooms can come out of that thing, it starts taking on a glow like a fine diamond in the rough.
What blooms are you most eager to see again?
hello cc
and, getting bored by winter...? Weird, we have an absurd warm winter right now, but frost will come at some point, we will see
my champion last year was Taratahy Ruby (looks like a smaller Firepot or something, if I remember correctly)
great for bouquets and I just loved that bright warm red
Bye, Lin
So glad I will be getting AC Ben as a trade! That's so pretty!
I just potted up my HH Miss Scarlet and HH Miss Toni I purchased at the Garden Show and it felt...So special! Just to be starting these plump little brown tubers to turn them into big green bushes full of flowers! They should be fine in the greenhouse as along as our temps are moderate and I can make cuttings from them. IF it gets real cool again I can move them to my warm workroom. Past experience has convinced me that its better to pot them up once they have been out and about :-)
This is not my favorite blooms from last year, but probably my favorite arrangement.
This time of year is great for looking through last years gardening pics. Its reassuring that it won't always be cold and white outside.
Thanks Mandolls, this is an interesting arrangement. Would you please name the different materials you are using? I really enjoy seeing how different people use dahlias in mixed arrangements perhaps others will post some more pictures.
Here's one bouquet I made last fall using autumn colors. The dahlias are Pam Howden, Raw Hide, Freckle Face and Maniac. Other materials were white lisianthus, sedum Autumn Joy, ornamntal grass tassles, dried yarrow, dried perennial statice and dried poppy pods
Nice Steve - I have never dried spring flowers to use later - I like that idea, and I didn't know yarrow could be dried at all. I especially like those poppy seed pods and the reddish grass tassels in your arrangement.
In my vase - I think the Dahlias in the center are McAllister's Pride and Touche and there is a Ginger Willo pom. There are lavender and white Tower Asters, a few Zinnia, Black Dragon Coleus, Angle Wing Begonia, a spike of Liatrus, some of a similar sedum to yours, (but before it turned red), and nasturtium vine. I had a lot of nasturtium growing last year, and really liked using it in arrangements. It held up much better than I expected it to.
I know this one is a bit of a crazy mish mash of flowers. I think the reason I am drawn to it is that I had never used so many different textures all together before.
Here is another one with nasturtium, not a very balanced arrangements, but I love the linear nasturtium. The red Dahlia is Dana Iris, the purples are NOIDs, there is a green envy Zinnia in the back and some of the same sedum.
I find the idea of using vines like Nasturtium for greenery rather intriguing. I've seen ivy used in arrangements too though usually they are low lying table arrangements with the ivy trainling a long the table. I've used Vinca occaionally and it hold up very well. Another vine I haven't tried but seems like it would work well is sweet potato, either edible or ornamental would work. I know the vines root easily in water so they would have a very good vase life likely putting out roots and growing in the water.
The gold Achillea filipendulina yarrow cultivars like Coronation Gold, Cloth of God, Parker's, etc., dry very easily and hold their shape and color well. Just cut them at their prime and hang them upside down in a warm dry location. The other types of yarrow are much more prone to wilting though they could probably be dried in silica gel.
