How economies work – and don't
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.
the annoying habit of seeing the hand of land in almost all transactions. In geonomics we maintain the distinction between the items bearing exchange value that come into being via human effort — wealth — and those that don't — land. Keeping this distinction in the forefront makes it obvious that speculating in land drives sprawl, that hoarding land retards Third World development, that borrowing to buy land plus buildings engorges banks, that much so-called "interest" is quasi-rent, that the cost of land inflates faster than the price of produced goods and services, that over half of corporate profit is from real estate (Urban Land Institute, 1999). Summing up these analyses, geonomists offer a Grand Unifying Theory, that the flow of rent pulls all other indicators in its wake. Geonomics differs from economics as chemistry from alchemy, as astronomy from astrology.
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.
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 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 discipline that, compared to economics, is as obscure as Warren Buffett's investment strategy, compared to conventional investment theory, about which Buffett said, "You couldn't advance in a finance department in this country unless you taught that the world was flat." (The New York Times, Oct 29). The writer wondered, "But why? If it works, why don't more investors use it?" Good question. Geonomics works, too. Every place that has used it has prospered while conserving resources. Yet it remains off the radar of many wanna-be reformers. Gradually, tho', that's changing. More are becoming aware of what geonomics studies – all the money we spend on the nature we use. Geonomics (1) as an alternative worldview to the anthropocentric, sees human economies as part of the embracing ecosystem with natural feedback loops seeking balance in both systems. (2) As an alternative to worker vs. investor, it sees our need for sites and resources making those who own land into landlords. (3)As an alternative to economics, it tracks the trillions of "rent" as it drives the "housing" bubble and all other indicators. And (4) as an alternative to left or right, it suggests we not tax ourselves then subsidize our favorites but recover and share society's surplus, paying in land dues and getting back "rent" dividends, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Letting rent go to the wrong pockets wreaks havoc, while redirecting it to everyone would solve our economic ills and the ills downstream from them. People must learn to stop whining so much and feel enough self-esteem to demand a fair share of rent, society's surplus, the commonwealth.
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.
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?
not a panacea, but like John Muir said, "pull on any one thing, and find it connected to everything else." Recall last month's earthquake in El Salvador. We felt it and its formidable after-shocks in Nicaragua. Immediately afterwards, my host nation, one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, sent aid to its Central American neighbor. The Nica newspapers carried photos of the devastation. They showed that the cliff sides that crumbled had had homes built on them while the cliffs left pristine withstood the shock. Could monopoly of good, safe, flat land be pushing people to build on risky, unstable cliffs? If so, that's just one more good reason to break up land monopoly. What works to break up land monopoly, history shows, is for society to collect the annual rental value of the underlying sites and resources. That'd spur owners to use level land efficiently, so no one would be excluded, forced to resort to cliffs. To prevent another man-induced landslide is yet another reason to spread geonomics.
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.

Grill-it-yourself meats spice up Azian
Larry Conrad III, 6, and his father Larry Conrad put meat on a grill on a dinner table at Azian, where you cook your own barbecue. A server will guide you through the process and mix sauces.
Grill-it-yourself meats spice up Azian
Larry Conrad dishes raw meat from the well-stocked buffet at Azian. The meats are marinated and there's a slew of accompaniments, such as kimchi, scallions and garlic. You pick the meat it and cook it at the grill in the center of your table.

As children, we were bombarded with dinner rules: No elbows on the table, don't talk with your mouth full, don't throw milk in your sister's face. The joy of being a grown-up is that you figure the dining rules you have to learn are behind you. Not at Azian.

Rasheed Wallace masterfully trash talks Arron Afflalo after missed free throw (VIDEO)
Nov 14, 2012, 10:24 AM EST
There are many ways to trash talk your opponent on the basketball court. The method chosen by Rasheed Wallace here is definitely one of my favorites.
Sure, you can be mean, funny, vulgar, profane, or a combination of all of those. But in the NBA, where egos are often as big as guys' salaries, simple and subtle non-recognition could dig the deepest of all.
Arron Afflalo steps to the line for two free throws. After missing the first, Wallace can clearly be heard excitedly shouting, "Yeah, Aflac!"
Not Afflalo. Aflac.
Guessing Wallace means the insurance company (you know, the one with the duck), but it really doesn't matter what he means. All that's important is that he's using a variation of his opponent's name instead of his actual one, letting him know he really has no idea who he is. Which he probably doesn't.

Pinterest grew by 52% to 17.8M unique users in February

- Staff Silicon Valley Business Journal
Photo bookmarking social network Pinterest reportedly grew by 52 percent to 17.8 million unique visitors in February while it was the center of attention, both positive and negative.
In its monthly report on the most visited and fastest-growing sites, comScore said the site run by Palo Alto-based Cold Brew Labs Inc. had the third largest percentage gain in unique visitors, behind Healthline — which nearly doubled — and IRS.gov — which grew by 54 percent.
The gain made Pinterest No. 91 on comScore's ranking of the most visited sites on the Internet. The site is getting growing interest from businesses who see its female-dominated membership and shopping focus as a good place to place their products. But content owners such as photographers have raised concerns over possible copyright violations when their copyrighted material gets "pinned" to user sites.
Google Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) sites, which includes its Google+ social network, remained No. 1 with 186.6 million unique visitors. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) sites were No. 2 with 174.4 million and Yahoo Inc.'s (NASDAQ:YHOO) sites were third with 173.5 million.
Among purely social networking sites, Facebook Inc. was No. 1 with 158.7 million unique visitors, Twitter was No. 2 with 38.4 million and LinkedIn Corp. (NASDAQ:LNKD) was No. 3 with 36.1 million.

Rapper Drake receives personalized Kentucky championship ring
Jul 28, 2012, 12:24 PM EST
Rapper Drake, a self proclaimed "natural fan" of the Kentucky Wildcats, has received a 2012 UK national championship ring, which he flaunted on his Instagram page Friday.
The 23-year-old Drake, born Aubrey Graham, has said that he took an interest in the Wildcats during the 2009-10 season, which featured freshmen John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins.
"All of us really just bonded this year. I went to see a lot of the games last season. I'm also very close with Coach Cal, so I just showed my support. I took a lot of planes to see a lot of games," he said back in October of 2010.
He has been spotted behind the Kentucky bench and attended UK's Big Blue Madness before the start of the season.
So, with that in mind, Drake was given a championship ring with his nickname, "Drizzy," etched into the side.
What's the old saying?
"Rappers want to be ballplayers and ballplayers want to be rappers."

Does this mean if I bandwagon something, there is a minuscule chance I'd get a ring. I guess I'm bandwagoning Princeton's men's rowing team. Hopefully, I'll get a ring from that.
- raider2124 - Jul 29, 2012 at 2:35 PM
Maybe he can throw the ring and hit Tony Parker in the eye

Friday, 30 Sep 2011 01:09 PM
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida decided Friday to hold its Republican presidential primary on Jan. 31, snubbing a party rule against fast-track delegate-selection for 2012 and triggering angry responses from traditional early voting states which will now likely rejigger their calendars to stay ahead.
The move actually thwarts efforts by both major political parties to delay presidential primaries and caucuses. Their aim has been to avoid a repeat of the 2008 scenario, when states jumped ahead of each other at that time in attempts to increase their influence in the process.
In Florida, a special nine-member committee appointed by legislative leaders and Gov. Rick Scott voted 7-2 to set the January date two days after House Speaker Dean Cannon announced that's what it was expected to do.
Cannon and other Florida GOP leaders said they didn't want to jump the traditional early states but wanted to make sure Florida was fifth, even the move was a violation of party rules.
"We're the biggest swing state in the union," said Republican former Gov. Bob Martinez, a member of the selection panel. "Texas is red, New York is blue, California's blue, and we're 10 electoral votes greater than Ohio. ... So I think this is a real, real election in Florida."
Cannon, who is not on the committee, noted that Florida had done the same thing four years ago with a late-January primary that played a key role in selecting Arizona Sen. John McCain as the Republican nominee. All major Democratic candidates, though, boycotted Florida because the early primary violated party rules.
"The sky didn't fall and the moon didn't turn into blood," Cannon said.
Officials in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina say they'll probably change their dates to stay ahead of Florida.
They are the only states allowed to go before March 6 under Republican and Democratic party rules.
Iowa GOP Chairman Matt Strawn condemned Florida's action and said his caucus still will remain first, consistent with tradition. He said a date will be set after New Hampshire announces when it will hold its primary.
"The arrogance shown by Florida's elected leadership is disappointing, but not surprising," Strawn said in a statement. "Equally troubling is to see this petulant behavior rewarded with our national convention." The convention will be in Tampa, and Strawn said the penalty should include refusing to credential or seat any member of Florida's primary date selection panel.
In New Hampshire, Secretary of State William Gardner said Friday he can't rule out the possibility that the state will hold its presidential primary in December if necessary to preserve its tradition of holding the nation's earliest primaries. Because of that, he set the filing period for candidates for Oct. 17-28.
"Because we cannot rule out the possibility of conducting the primary before the end of this year, we are, regrettably, as we were four years ago, forced to move the presidential candidates filing period to October," said Gardner, who has sole power to set his state's date. For the 2008 primary, he waited until Nov. 21 to set the Jan. 8 date.
South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Chad Connelly, who has the authority to set the GOP primary date in his state, said Thursday that he wants to schedule it as close to Florida as possible, probably on Jan. 28. That's the Saturday before Florida's primary.
That may push the Iowa GOP caucuses to Jan. 9 followed by the New Hampshire primary on Jan. 17 and the Nevada caucuses on Jan. 21.
The Florida panel stuck with the Jan. 31 date although it no longer was necessary to put the state ahead of Missouri, which has scheduled its primary for Feb. 7.
Missouri Republicans on Thursday decided not to hold a primary. They plan, instead, to select their delegates to the Republican national convention in Tampa during March caucuses.
Florida and other states that hold primaries or caucuses before March 6 stand to lose half of their delegates, but state GOP leaders said it's worth the price to have more influence on the nomination.
With President Barack Obama seeking re-election, Florida Democrats could select their delegates at caucuses after March 6 to avoid being penalized.

UFC Primetime: St. Pierre vs. Hendricks, Episode 3
The final instalment of St.Pierre / Hendricks has been released and with it, fight fans are now only but four short days away from one of the best UFC fights of 2013.
Into the Octagon that night will come the welterweight champion and his eight straight title defenses. As most fans might guess, "Rush" is tired of his critics and will be looking to win this fight by way of stoppage. However, that could be easier said than done, as his opponent has yet to be stopped. More to the point, Johny Hendricks is more accustomed to stopping his opponents, than being stopped by them.
However, there could be a problem in "Bigg Rigg's" game plane.
As seen in the third installment of Primetime, Hendricks once again appears to be focusing on his wrestling and his power punching, to the expense of all else. Throughout the three episodes, not once did we see Bigg Rigg on his back and defending, nor did we see him in a top position working a submissions game.
In a nutshell, Hendricks game plan appears to be one of KO'ing the champ and if that doesn't work, then simply out wrestling Rush for five rounds. Other than that, there seems to be no other options, which are being demonstrated by Hendricks.
As Rush is likely to set a torrid pace from the bell's first ringing and apt to come forward as the general in the Octagon, Hendricks will probably need more than just power counter shots and a takedown to offer Rush. If that's all he has, it could be a long night for Johny, particularly if GSP starts taking him to the ground in the third and beyond. As Carlos Condit said of Rush's top game, it's "formidable".
Either way, it should be a great contest and one that's likely to leave GSP fans sitting on the edges of their seats, through rounds one and two; 96 hours and counting.

Jogger hit, killed near Castle Elementary School
BPD: Truck hit adult male, driver fell asleep
A portion of Wilson Road was closed Tuesday after a jogger was hit and killed by a truck in the early morning.
Jesus Apolinar Rios-Gallegos, 26, was struck and killed just before 7 a.m. while jogging across Wilson Road near Edgemont Drive, said Bakersfield Police Sgt. Joe Grubbs.
The accident sent the truck into the yard of a nearby home. After an investigation, officials said the driver, 29 year old Eliseo Soto, fell asleep before he struck the victim.
Bakersfield police said Soto could face charges of vehicular manslaughter, but the investigation will not be complete for at least a month and a half.
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call Officer Tim Berchtold at (661) 327-7111.

Toledo Cathedral in Toledo, Spain, is ranked among the greatest Gothic structures in Europe. Inside, the cathedral contains important masterpieces including a spectacular baroque high altar and two paintings by El Greco.
Toledo Cathedral stands on the site of the Great Mosque of Toledo, which itself had replaced a Visigothic church. Built from 1226 to 1493, the long process is reflected in Toledo Cathedral's variety of styles.
This was taken inside one part of this beautiful Cathedral, on film, and the print was scanned to digital. The camera used was a Pentax ESPIO 150SL 35mm film camera with a Kodak black and white film.

"Our high-end vehicles are consistently rented, and we've seen an increased interest in the collection," said spokesman Greg Phillips. "Last year, the number of rental days within the Exotic Car Collection jumped 50% versus the previous year."
The rise in demand, Phillips said, is driven by a diverse customer base. Think vacationers who want to make sure they are riding in style, business travelers entertaining clients and movie studios looking for high-end vehicles during film production.
Phillips says some of the most popular models include Range Rover Sport, the Cadillac Escalade and Audi A8. Hertz, meanwhile, last year launched Hertz Dream Cars, a line of luxury and performance vehicles that includes Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes and Land Rover. Avis has its Signature Series.
Rates, not surprisingly, depend on make, model and market. For example, at LAX, Phillips says the company rents Mercedes vehicles for about $200 to $250 per day, a Porsche 911 for about $500 per day and an Audi R8 for about $900 per day.
The Enterprise collection has grown from one location in West Los Angeles in 2006 to 16 locations around the U.S. And given the current state of luxury travel, expect to see future additions.
