Braintree travel agent warns parents over passport backlogs
8:45am Friday 13th June 2014 in News
A TRAVEL agent has warned parents to allow plenty of time to renew their children's passports after reports of delays at the Passport Office.
MPs have raised concerns that backlogs could mean thousands of people will not be able to fly out on their holidays this summer.
Independent travel agent Natalie Arnold, from Great Notley, said the backlogs appear to be particularly bad for children's passports.

Why "Weird Al" Believes We're Still Talking About Him

The Automator's signature sound is one reason why the ghost of Dr. Octagona similarly sci-fi-bent, Automator-produced piece about an MC from the year 3000haunts Deltron's lower registers. The other reason is that Octagon's ghost hangs over a lot of hip-hop records these days, even the ones Kool Keith himself raps on. Keith's body of work as an Ultramagnetic MC helped spawn a living, breathing surrealist paradigm for hip-hop, and Dr. Octagonmade it OK for Royal Trux fans to buy rap records. But Keith's antiwackness stance has hardened, and his recent records (like this summer's scabrous Matthew) sound contagiously disappointed, the deep-leftfield rants of a guy who doesn't think much of today's hip-hop but hates the idea of obscurity more.
On the Analog Brothers' Pimp to Eat, Keith kinda-sorta gets his satiric groove back. Born as a throwaway gag in the liner notes to '98's Dr. Dooom(Keith as "Robbie Analog," mocking RZA's own concept clunker Bobby Digital in Stereo), Pimp to Eat's overall vibeblack borscht-belt fantasists slayin' em at a wack-MC Friar's roaststill feels desultory, though, mainly because playas got funnier this year, stealing much of playa-hate's thunder. Keith is in top formno other mind could have spawned the hair-hygiene ode "Permsbaldheadsafrosdreads"but the form itself is weak. Improbably, though, new collaborator Ice-T (analog alias: "Ice Oscillator") makes the save, coming back weird-hard with all the presence his last album seemed to be saving for the Law & Ordercameras.
The last time I saw Ice, he was politicking at a digital-music convention, promoting his Internet record label by signing autographs next to his own champagne fountain (!), like he'd yet to be informed that there was a dotcom crunch going on. Pimp to Eatfeels the same way, like a promise that there'll be mackin' in the future, even after the money runs out. Squeaky-voiced and foul-fuckin'-mouthed as a motherfucker, Ice nails the smallness behind big pimpin', from object-fetishism (Oldsmobile gets props as "the epitome of the automotive industry," 'hos get treated like bitches) to fussy vanity ("I sleep soft on a pillow, in order not to fuck up my 'do"). He's a fallen leading man getting back in touch with his chops in a character role.

The beats are Moogy junk from G-funk's trunk, moving less like gleaming space Cadillacs and more like the rides some Dungeon Family member describes on OutKast's Stankonia, held together by chrome and rubber bands. Pimpin' itself is now an unreliable vehicle they have to push uphill; even the Brothers' playa handles"Keith Korg," "Silver Synth," etc.evoke lowlife in the so-called space age. Sometimes astral traveling is manifest destiny, after all. But sometimes (per Flavor Flav) it's more like going to see Captain Kirk like a jerk 'cause you're out of work.

Derrick Rose says his surgically repaired left knee is getting better and he is even jumping on it.
The Chicago Bulls' superstar started doing that "a couple of days ago," another step in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. He is rehabilitating five days a week in an effort to return sometime this season after a devastating injury.
Rose spoke Thursday at an unveiling of his new shoe and apparel line for Adidas. The 35-minute session was moderated by a company executive, and he did not take questions from the media.
Rose got emotional, though, particularly when a video of him tearing the ACL and rehabbing was shown.

Nexus 7 on VZW - tell me something good
Verizon has now taken their pound of flesh by delaying the Nexus 7 (2013) past Thanksgiving weekend (for background, see Jeff Jarvis' G+ post of his FCC complaint). KitKat came to the N7 two weeks ago, which satisfies VZW's stated condition for carrying the device.
Seriously people, if an FCC consent decree means anything, this thing will be released NOW, well in advance of the holidays. But that's a big if. And to anyone with two brain cells to rub together, there is a big relation between the delay of the N7 and Verizon's launch of its in-house Android tablet, the Ellipsis 7 (which BTW runs 4.2.2).
So, does anyone have any educated guesses, specific rumors, inside info as to when this debacle will end?

FOX Sports Exclusive
Pruett finds success in wine biz
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
If you want to know how competitive Scott Pruett is, just ask his wife Judy.
RACE OF CHAMPIONSSee the best photos from the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
"He wants to be the best at everything he does," she said.
It's not surprising that the five-time GrandAm champ — who won the series' last three titles — puts as much effort into his Auburn, Calif. winery as he does his racing.
Wine Spectator Magazine recently named Pruett Vineyards one of the top-10 winemakers to watch in the future. Obviously, Pruett is as driven in the vineyard as he is on the racetrack.
"When Scott isn't racing or working out, he's in the vineyard," Judy Pruett joked. "I'm either a race widow or a wine widow."
Pruett, 52, won the pole for this weekend's Rolex 24 at Daytona, an event he's won four times (five times in the DP class). On Sunday, Pruett hopes to tie Hurley Haywood's record of five event titles in what is considered the Super Bowl of American sports car racing.
After his first stint in the Chip Ganassi Racing BMW, he spoke of his recent accolades in Wine Spectator Magazine. Pruett Vineyard scored 93 points for their 2010 Lucky Lauren in WSM's list of 10 affordable California Rhones.
"It's very exciting from the Pruett Vineyard side of it because we do all the work," Pruett said. "I do all the winemaking. Our family does the bottling, the labeling, the corking — everything gets done at the house. We're very small, 500 cases a year.
"When we submitted our wines, our first release which was a year ago, two of our wines — our Estate Syrah and our Reserve Syrah — both received 91 points right out of the box. Which is very exciting, especially for Wine Spectator, who's arguably one of the most difficult global wine raters around.
NASCAR on FOX brings live coverage of the Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. The green flag drops at 1 p.m. ET, with coverage on FOX beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET.
"This year our first rating came out with one of Lucky Lauren Red — named for our oldest daughter Lauren — it received 93 points and it also received the No. 1 Rhone value wine in California under $35. Last week, they came out and rated our Estate Syrah a 93."
Pruett's first releases bore a 2008 vintage. In 2011, Wine Spectator invited Pruett to submit his Championship Cuvee for review. The rookie winemaker earned a score of 90 for the Cabernet blend.
Pruett is the first to admit that "the good Lord has blessed" him with two incredible careers.
"I was here at Daytona in '84," Pruett said. "And I'm here again in 2013. If you look at that number, it's a pretty big number. We're coming off a championship — our third in a row. It's nice to be on the pole here, so all is good."
If Pruett does tie Haywood's record Sunday afternoon, the good news is he won't have to supply the bubbly for Victory Lane.

Survivor: Blood Vs. Water and The Amazing Race Thoughts and Other Things (With Videos and Polls)
By Eric Mitchell On 12/14/2013 · 5 Comments · In Amazing Race, Survivor, X Factor
Last Sunday was The Amazing Race finale and tomorrow is the end of the current season of Survivor. Let's first start by celebrating that CBS has picked up Seasons 29 & 30 for Fall 2014 and Winter 2015. Also announced is that Jeff Probst will be return as both Host and Executive Producer which is awesome that the show can continue especially following the last three seasons which have been awesome.
Back to The Amazing Race I was actually disappointed by the tasks in the finale. It was painfully obvious that Jason and Amy had it in the bag early on which took a lot of the drama out of the second hour. I was also fed up with Amy helping Nicole in the challenges. I understand the need to be nice and I fully supported helping each other when they started the task but the addition help when she finished hers just pissed me off. But they won in the end so maybe karma stayed on their side for being good human beings.
They way Travis was treating Nicole totally turned me off of them. They were like a Fair Weather couple who fall apart when things get tough. At times I actually felt like shaking him and telling him to shut up or actually support his wife. I think it would have been worse if they had lost to Jamal and Leo but luckily for them neither of the guys know how to follow instructions or pay attention to detail.
Overall I would give the season a B-. Marie played a great villian (which only increased when admitting that she forced Tim to accept a deal that she would get 60% of the prize if they won) and their were enough fun teams to follow but no really great teams. The season loses points because other then climbing the ice wall the final tasks lacked any real drama or excitement. Even still I will be on the couch ready for the start of the next season.
I just wanted to make a quick comment about how X Factor's Alex and Sierra took over iTunes the last two weeks with Say Something and Gravity (not to mention the other acts who also charted) but no one seems to actually watch the show. It's ratings are almost at the CW levels and if it comes back next fall I can predict that it would probably lose to either Arrow or The Vampire Diaries (or both). It's actually kind of amazing that Alex and Sierra can sell so well the last two weeks with such low ratings. They are clearly connecting with people even if the show continues to be largely ignored.
Now onto another show where my pre-season pick is still alive even if it is only a matter of time that she is out. Ciera has played well the last two episodes even if she ended up on the losing side both weeks. I think it will take multiple immunity idol wins to get her to the final tribal and I don't think she has another win in her personally. She did awesome at the puzzle portion of last week's challenge but Gervase came close to getting it as well and if any future puzzles require a huge physical task before it (which they usually do) she can't avoid to have such a disadvantage going into the puzzle especially if her mother gets back into the game.
Without immunity wins by Ciera and who ever re-enters the game they will be picked off by Tyson, Gervase, and Monica. I think Tyson and Gervase did a good job of controlling Monica's emotions last week and I don't see her flipping going forward. She really lost her chance to make a move and take out Gervase so I think she is tied into her alliance going forward because it makes no real sense for her to jump because if she jumps it would just look like Ciera's big move by convincing her and if she stays she will continue to be seen as Tyson's lap dog. It's really a tough spot to be in.
We have 7 players going into the finale with 6 of them having a legit chance to win it all. Let's be honest here and admit that there is no way Tina will beat Laura and Hayden at the final dual to get back into the game which means she is out next.
Hayden and Laura both have the same path. They must win the dual and then win both immunity challenges to make it to the final tribal. It's the Ozzy path to the final and even he failed at it and was sent home in fourth. But if they do pull it off they would have the season in the bag because I think the Jury will respect the large task that was needed to make it to the end. It's not impossible but it will be very hard to pull off. I think Laura would have the better chance of making it happen because one of the final challenges almost always includes a puzzle and she has shown she is amazing at puzzles and can handle the physical portion that proceeds a puzzle.
Ciera is one step ahead of the above two. I don't see her convincing Monica to swap going forward since I think she has already showed all her cards at this point and I think Monica will feel she would have a better chance to win by staying loyal to Tyson and Gervase. Like I said above I don't see her winning back to back to back immunity challenges so it leaves her odds at winning very low. Back if she did pull off the miracle hail Mary pass I think she would lock up the win against anyone other then Laura and Hayden. It's just a real long shot.
With those long shots out of the way I actually think the final three will be Tyson, Gervase, and Monica. I have thought this since the merge because it is just the way it looked like it would go since Aras and Vytas were sent packing. Here's are some Pros and Cons I see for each to win or lose the season.
Pro: I think he has been seen as the ring leader of his side of the alliances. He has managed his relationships wisely by making others think they had a say while always ensuring the vote went how he wanted it to go. He also managed problems at tribal by keeping a cool head and not attacking people or overly defending attacks against him. I think he will keep calm in the final tribal which could help him convince the jury to vote for him.
Cons: If he is stuck with a bitter jury then he is done. He has back stabbed or turned on almost every member of the jury and we all know that sometimes juries hold grudges (just ask Russel Hantz).
Pros: He has been right beside Tyson since the merge and in reality has made just as many decisions. He has also won some immunity challenges which always help.
Cons: I think his outbursts and ego will actually hurt him in the end. He is not always able to keep it cool and collected when being attacked. I think he will also look like a follower doing Tyson's bidding. He also had alliances with most on the jury early on so the back stabbing and bitter jury apply to him just as much as Tyson.
Pros: She won more immunity challenges then anyone else this season and she can argue that she has stayed loyal to her alliance the entire season. She also will be seen as the one who did the least back stabbing.
Cons: She could be seen as the won riding the coattails. Even with the challenge wins the vote was always perceived as Tyson's decision rather then hers. I also think she will have a hard time handling tough questions that attack her at the final tribal.
I actually that so many contestants actually have a legit shot at winning the season.
With all that out of the way I actually think we have a jury that will respect the game play and not allow bitter emotions control their choices. For that reason I think Tyson will be walking away as the winner of Survivor Blood vs. Water.
As is tradition in these posts here are a view videos of Katie the Day After and her at Ponderosa.
Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Katie The Day After
Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Katie Arrives At Ponderosa
Overall I would give Survivor: Blood vs. Water an A-. It had a lull in the middle episodes after the merge with a few predictable boots but we did see the return of the rock draw and there were many twist and turns. I also never expected the added elements the Blood vs. Water twist would open up such as having to worry about an alliance mate playing more for their loved one then their alliance. It added a new exciting layer to a show I already loved.
This will be my last post for these seasons of the shows. I would be happy to continue offering my thoughts when the next seasons start up if MJ is open to it. I have really enjoyed recapping the shows for the last few seasons and I want to again thank Steven and Montavilla for stepping in and taking over when my life got in the way.
Thanks to MJ for allowing me to write these weekly posts and for the opportunity to recap the past few seasons of The Amazing Race and Survivor. I was glad to be a part of helping the blog expend into other reality shows and I hope it continues to grow as a place to go for news and recaps on Reality shows.
Lastly thanks to the people who actually read these posts. I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts and seeing what others have felt about the twist and turns of two of the best reality shows on TV. I hope everyone enjoys the Survivor Finale and Happy Holidays to everyone.
Thanks, Eric! I've enjoyed reading your thoughts. I guess I'm hoping Ciera pulls out the win, even though I never would have guessed from the beginning that she would.
I think Monica will flip at the next Tribal Council. If she does that and takes Tyson (or Gervase) out, she'll be seen to be making her own moves. After that, I think her best course is to take out Hayden or Laura (whichever one gets back in). Laura, because her performance at Redemption Island has been incredibly impressive. Hayden, because he's played a very impressive "big moves" social game.
Ciera is good, but not as impressive as the other two. If Tyson stays in the game, I think there will be some bitterness on the jury.
You know what would be interesting? Tyson against Laura and Ciera in the final three. I think Laura would win.
I would have zero respect for anyone who votes for Laura. I mean the woman got voted out not once, but twice. She can't even say that she played the game. It's survivor not the Olympics.
Ciera would definitely win if she makes it to the final 3 so is Hayden but I would hope that the jury reward the people who never been voted out.
Monica has no chance in hell no matter what she does. She has a better chance at second place with Tyson and Gerv vs Ciera and the RI winner so she need to stick with her alliance.
Gerv has no chance in hell.
Tyson need to make final 3 with Monica and Gerv and he will be a millionaire.
I will be SHOCKED if Tyson is not the winner. He deserves it.
Eric Mitchell
I agree that Tyson should and will win. But winning that many duals to stay alive and also make it to the end would be a good reason to vote Laura although I would give it to some who wasn't voted out as well like you said.
Thanks for doing the recaps, Eric. I think Tyson will win but I'm not happy about it. It always amazes me that people just let these obvious threats get thru to the end. I would have gotten rid of Tyson and Gervase as soon as I possibly could and I think Monica made a huge mistake.
I have really enjoyed this season of Survivor. Im really rooting for Hayden to take the win home. Hoping he can win tonight in the Redemption Island challenge and re-enter the game. But, I have a feeling Laura is gonna win and re-enter. Looking forward to an exciting night tonight!

Suppose I own a large tract of land in the region of the Barnett Shale, the exclusive right to allow (or prevent) drilling on the aforesaid land, and a desparate need for funds. You have $19 million and the desire to exploit the minerals. I take your $19 million, and when you ask for permission to drill I refuse, and I don't even offer to return your $19 million. What would you do?
As expected, we learned what Trinity East Energy, LLC would do. They've sued the City of Dallas for breach of contract (the lease), inverse condemnation (for taking their leasehold interest without compensation), and fraud (for representing that special use permits would come, knowing they wouldn't) in connection with a 2008 oil and gas lease over 3,600 acres of City of Dallas land. After collecting the $19 million bonus, the city prevented Trinity from developing the lease by denying special use permits necessary to drill wells, both on the property and on land near enough to the property to exploit the minerals. The damages sought are far greater than the $19 milliion bonus.
Someone who expected this result was Mayor Rawlings, who warned the council of potential litigation in the meeting at which Trinity's permits were denied. So would anybody who believes that, upon paying $19 million for something and then being denied the right to do anything with it by the party who took your money in the first place, most self-respecting businesses would demand to be made whole.
When trying to understand this situation, the notion of sowing and reaping comes immediately to mind. You have the sowers – the City Council and the City Plan Commission members who denied the special use permits. Then you have the reapers – that would be the same as the sowers. Usually overlooked in these discussions are the unwilling reapers, otherwise known as the losers. As in all cases of governmental chicanery, that would be the citizens of Dallas, who will foot a large legal bill and then, potentially, a large judgment or settlement, not to mention lost revenues from production, should the wells have been successful.
Who's responsible for this statutory, legal, constitutional and moral failure? Here are the votes by council and plan commission members. Ask them why they voted against. Note: The council measure didn't "pass". A three fourth's vote was required because it failed at the CPC.
Maybe it happened this way: Intimidated by the anti-fracking troglodytes (mentioned previously in this blog and other places) the commission and council members followed the politically expedient course: Deny the permits, thereby escaping the proximate wrath of the anti's. When the repercussions come home to roost, hope the fallout will be dispersed and the voters won't notice.
All is not lost. Here, revealed to me by insiders at city hall, is the trial strategy of the City and its lawyers.

Strength in numbers
Gonabit.com is a new way to shop in Dubai, and it has big plans. As the Arabic version launches, we ask founder Dan Stuart about the concept behind the site.
August 12, 2010 5:42 by kippreport
Which markets are you targeting?
Our launch cities are Dubai and Abu Dhabi. But we are looking at Kuwait City, Amman, Beirut, Cairo, Jeddah and Riyadh as well.
We think this business works well in different markets and we want to move quickly and smartly.
Kuwait City, for example, has a good mix of online savvy good businesses. I lived there for three years so I know it pretty well. Amman and Beirut might not have the greatest internet penetration, nor the largest populations, but they have a great mix of savvy buyers and great variety of things to do.
We are also looking at places that have a natural cultural connection to the region such as Turkey and India.
Which businesses have shown interest so far?
With the social calendar and at one deal every day, we can only work with a limited number of companies. Assuming some repeat collaboration we would be working with roughly 200 businesses a year. It may sound like a lot but once it's divided into categories such as restaurants, spas, salons, adventure, events and off-the-wall activities, it's really not that many.
What's the criteria?
Our clients are either a business that you've never heard of – discovery – or a business that you've heard of but you didn't know much about – exploration. They are mostly service-based businesses.
With events we're looking at where we get a batch of tickets that we put up as promotion the day before the tickets go online. This limited promotion is meant to be a buzz generator and a WoM amplifier so that when tickets go on sale, there's a build-up towards the actual sale of the event at full price. GoNabit is selective by virtue of our model.
So you see GoNabit as a marketing aide too?
We prepare the visuals and the copy for a particular business client for that day. So they get a full marketing message with the deal. It's not just a faceless coupon. It's our resources centred on that brand for that day and that city. When people land on that site, they experience visuals and messages that are aligned with the marketing objectives of that business.
It's hard to get people to sign up for five out of five deals. But if we can get each of them interested in two out of the five for themselves, and one for somebody else, then that's pretty good.

Sebelius: Healthcare.gov 'significantly different' for Nov. 30 deadline
With the self-imposed deadline to fix Healthcare.gov quickly approaching, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius assured state and local elected officials Tuesday that the troubled Obamacare website is "definitely on track" to improve by the end of November. "We are definitely on track to have a significantly different user experience by the end of this month," Sebelius said in a conference call with state and local officials Tuesday. After the botched rollout of the site, the White House imposed a Nov. 30 deadline for Healthcare.gov to properly function for the "vast majority" of users. Sebelius told lawmakers Tuesday they should encourage their constituents to sign up for coverage on Healthcare.gov as the administration continues to make improvements to the site.

There are park alerts in effect.show Alerts »
Cave tour tickets
When you purchase your tickets on recreation.gov, the time options listed will be for your hike time, which is the time you should pick up your tickets at the visitor center. Plan on 3-4 hours from that time, round trip.
These extreme conditions create desirable habitats for large mammals such as Mountain goats, Big horn sheep, Mountain lion, moose, Mule deer, and Black bear. The canyon also supports small mammals such as Ringtail cats, Longtail weasels, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, packrats, and bats.
During the canyon's hot summers you may see reptiles such as the Great Basin rattlesnake, Gopher snake, Rubber boa, and Sagebrush lizard.
The American Fork River supports two species of introduced fish, Brown trout and Rainbow trout.
The canyon supports commonly seen birds such as the American dipper, Broad-tailed hummingbird, Canyon wren, Orange-crowned warbler, Western tanager, Violet-green swallow, and Stellers jay. Occassional visits are seen from larger birds such as Wild turkeys, Red-tailed hawks, Peregrine falcon, and Bald eagles.
For such a small park, the ranging elevations and various vegetation types allow for a large variety of animals.
Did You Know?
To tour Timpanogos Cave, our 70,000 visitors each year must hike the 1 1/2 miles trail to the caves, gaining over 1,100 feet in elevation.

Iran's nuclear deal
Six world powers, including the United States, have reached a deal with Iran over the country's nuclear program.
That's according to a tweet from a European Union spokesman.
The deal comes after marathon talks that stretched into early Sunday morning.
We don't yet know exact details of the agreement.
The President addressed the nation earlier this evening.
"For the first time in nearly a decade we have halted Iran's nuclear program. The key parts of the program will be rolled back."
The deal is expected to temporarily stop Iran's nuclear development and lift some of the International Community's Sanctions on the country.

Whistleblowers at the Hunters Point Shipyard told a reporter, "I wouldn't feel comfortable living there having a yard where I could grow a garden. Absolutely not." "I wouldn't go there, I wouldn't take my grandchildren there, I wouldn't walk my dog there." A Treasure Island whistleblower said, "My job is to protect people and the environment, and it's just not getting done."

The cover story of this week's San Francisco Weekly is the saga of Midtown Park Apartments that faces a struggle for its very existence in light of dubious actions and activities by San Francisco Housing Director Olson Lee and his staff. The City, which owns the Midtown property, has neglected to make millions of dollars worth of repairs over the past several decades despite hiring property managers to maintain the property, collect rents and enforce terms of tenancy.
April 26, 2014
The City of San Francisco appears to be launching a discriminatory retaliatory eviction targeting its Treasure Island toxin whistleblower, Kathryn Lundgren, and her family. Lundgren, mother of three teens, has repeatedly sounded the alarm outing the City and the Navy for collusion in neglecting to warn her and her unsuspecting neighbors that Treasure Island is a radioactive dumpsite saturated with chemicals, toxic mold, asbestos and lead.
February 21, 2014
San Francisco's housing woes are characterized by inflated rent and a shortage of residential units – a combination that has left many long-term residents feeling pushed out and priced out of their city. While many groups have been affected, it is now well established that the city's African-American population has borne the brunt of what the city's mayor aptly describes as a "housing crisis."
February 9, 2014
On Monday, Feb. 3, residents of Midtown Park Apartments, joined by civil rights nonprofit Brightline Defense, legal services provider AIDS Legal Referral Panel and over 50 supporters, filed the biggest rent control petition in the history of the City and County of San Francisco. The petition requests protection against unlawful rent increases and evictions for 139 low- and moderate-income Western Addition households.
February 4, 2014
Nearly 100 residents of Midtown, representing virtually every household at a vibrant and diverse low and moderate income community in the Fillmore District, submitted a petition to Mayor's Office of Housing Director Olson Lee asking him to withdraw his termination of Midtown's 45-year-old lease with the City and County of San Francisco. Later that same day, Director Lee, a former Redevelopment Agency official, gave Midtown residents his answer: No.

On June 24, 2103, an SUV pulled up near a Muni shelter at West Point Road and Middle Point Road in Hunters Point. According to video images later collected by the police, someone got out of the vehicle and, standing near the rear of it, fired 23 shots with a 9 millimeter gun into the shelter, killing Jaquan Rice, 19, and injuring his 17-year-old girlfriend.

It has been five short months since dozens of unemployed Black workers and contractors protested exclusion of Blacks from demolition and demanded inclusion of Blacks in the rebuilding of Bayview's Willie Brown Middle School. Now SFUSD plans to ask the School Board at their meeting Tuesday, Feb. 12, 6 p.m., at 555 Franklin, First Floor, to AWARD THE $44.6 MILLION CONTRACT FOR WILLIE BROWN SCHOOL TO A MAJOR WHITE CONTRACTOR without competitive bidding. Pack the meeting! Protest economic racism!
September 1, 2012
The history of the center is well known, and its accomplishments far outweigh its failures. Although 95 years is an extremely long time, what the center does not have right now is time – and time will be the deciding factor on whether or not Visitacion Valley Community Center survives.
August 19, 2012
The San Francisco School Board is considering a strong local hiring and contracting policy that will give Blacks and all San Franciscans a chance to compete for a share of the $531 million in school construction funded by Proposition A – and give our children the economic security they need to succeed in school and in life.
July 20, 2012
Over the last several months, a conversation has been underway about job standards for maintenance workers at Treasure Island. The fundamental question of the Treasure Island dialog is: How do we serve a targeted population of candidates while delivering the wages, benefits and retirement enjoyed by workers doing the same work in the City and County?
April 10, 2012
Supervisor John Avalos' resolution calling for a suspension of foreclosure activities in the City and County of San Francisco passed in an 11-0 vote at the Board of Supervisors. It signals the City's resolve to protect homeowners from unfair and unlawful actions until state and federal protections are in place.
October 24, 2011
Seven San Francisco mayoral candidates have asked the U.S. Department of Justice to send in election observers and monitors and federal investigators to protect San Franciscans' voting rights from the official mayoral campaign of Interim Mayor Ed Lee and from the "independent expenditure committee" also trying to elect him outside the campaign spending confines of the official campaign.
April 7, 2011
San Francisco Superior Court is seeking applications for Civil Grand Jury service for the 2011-2012 term. The deadline is April 15. Espanola Jackson was a driving force on the San Francisco Civil Grand Jury of 1993-94 that strongly influenced many critical issues.

I am back with you fighting for our jobs at a time when I should have been preparing to choose many of you to work with me to build the new Bayview Library. The contract to build our library in our neighborhood was taken from my company, Liberty Builders, and awarded instead to a white contractor, K C K Builders, whose bid included no Blacks at all. This time we won't let the gate swing shut again for another dozen years. We're all fighting back – and we're winning, especially with the passage of Supervisor John Avalos' Mandatory Local Hire ordinance.
November 15, 2010
"If Washington, D.C. wants to know what San Franciscans want this Christmas, we are here to say, 'We want our jobs!'" Bay Area truckers are surrounding the Transbay Terminal and Francisco City Hall at 7 a.m. Monday demanding access to the trucking work underway right now as part of the local federal stimulus projects. By paying per load rather than per hour, the City of San Francisco is undercutting the prevailing wage and exploiting workers.
April 9, 2010
The new Bayview Library must be built by the people it serves. No more exclusion of Blacks as with Third Street Light Rail. Bay View publisher Willie Ratcliff's company, Liberty Builders, is competing to build it with a team of top Black construction professionals committed to hiring from the community. Come to the Bay Area Black Builders meeting Saturday, April 10, 12 noon, at 1099 Sunnydale, Vis Valley, San Francisco.

Quick Bracket Matrix Update
3 seed sounds delicious
getting at least a #4 seed. 5 seed is the worst they can go IMO. I would expect Michigan to be the #3 seed when all is said and done which would exceed our preseason expectations.

How economies work – and don't
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.
as unfamiliar as geo-economics. The latter is a course some universities offer that combines geography and economics. A UN newsletter, Go Between (57, Apr/May '96; thanks, Pat Aller), cited an Asian conference on geopolitics and "geoeconomics". The abbreviated term 'geonomics" is the name of an institute on Middlebury College campus and of a show on CNBC. Both entities use the neologism to mean "global economics", in particular world trade. We use geonomics entirely differently, to refer to the money people spend on the nature they use, how letting this flow collect in a few pockets creates class and poverty and assaults upon the environment, and how, on the other hand, sharing this rental flow creates equality, prosperity, and a people/planet harmony. This flow of natural rent, several trillions dollars in the US each year, shapes society and belongs to society.
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.
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.
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.
the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out" Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent. Better settlement patterns do reduce extraction upstream and pollution downstream. Politically, green fees have less impact if applied locally; local is where grassroots movements have more impact. Yet getting rent usually entails shifting the property tax (or charging user fees), the province of local jurisdictions; both mayors and city voters have been known to adopt a site-value tax. Ethically, putting into practice "tax bads, not goods" skirts the issue of sharing Mother Earth which collecting rent confronts head on. Since nothing is fixed until it's fixed right, ultimately, greens must lead humanity into geotopia where we all share the worth of Mother Earth.
what you do when you see economies as part of the ecosystem, following feedback loops and storing up energy. Surplus energy – fat or profit – enables us to produce and reproduce. To recycle society's surplus, the commonwealth, geonomics would replace taxes with land dues (charged to users of sites and resources, including the EM spectrum, and extra to polluters), and replace subsidies with rent dividends to citizens (a la Alaska's oil dividend). Without taxes and subsidies to distort them, prices become precise, reflect accurately our costs and values; then, motivated by no more than the bottom line, both producers and consumers make sustainable choices. While no place uses geonomics in its entirety, some places use parts of it, most notably a shift of the property tax off buildings, onto locations. Shifting the property tax drives efficient use of land, in-fills cities, improves the housing stock, makes homes affordable, engenders jobs and investment opportunities, lowers crime, raises civic participation, etc – overall it makes cities more livable. Geonomics – a way to share the bounty of nature and society – is something we can work for locally, globally, and in between.
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!
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat – or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off – a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.
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.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.
