Natural Resources and Environment:
The Bureau of Reclamation Could Identify More Unneeded Land
RCED-85-25: Published: Apr 12, 1985. Publicly Released: Apr 12, 1985.

(202) 512-4800
GAO reported on the Bureau of Reclamation's process for identifying unused, underused, and unneeded land.
GAO identified about 1.8 million acres of unneeded land for project purposes. This occurred primarily because the Bureau's annual property reviews did not include detailed reviews of specific parcels of land, and it had not completed reviewing the need for all public domain land under its jurisdiction. Recognizing the need to improve its land management program, the Bureau has been implementing a land-use inventory and automated real property asset management system. This could help the Bureau develop a comprehensive and accurate inventory of land no longer needed for project purposes. GAO noted that, since proceeds from the sale of unneeded land are used to reduce the financial obligations of irrigation districts, three such districts could receive reductions in their repayment obligations of about $39 million if 73,000 acres of unneeded land are sold.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Bureau of Reclamation identified 1,811,696 acres of withdrawn land it no longer needed and submitted requests to BLM to revoke the withdrawals on these lands and restore them to the public domain so that they will be available for use by other federal agencies.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Commissioner, Bureau of Reclamation, to transfer any unneeded public domain land used or needed by other federal agencies to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for disposition.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: According to the Bureau of Reclamation, any proposed amendments should come from Congress since the intent of Congress was to credit the revenues from the sale of surplus settlement lands to the repayment obligations of the project's three irrigation districts. Because an impasse exists between GAO and the Bureau, GAO is closing the recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Commissioner, Bureau of Reclamation, to consider whether interests of the federal government that would be advanced by amending the 1943 Columbia Basin Project Act to recover future surplus settlement land sale revenues for the government rather than crediting them to the repayment obligations of the project's three irrigation districts outweigh the interests of the districts. Should it be determined that the government's interests are paramount, legislation should be submitted to Congress specifying that future surplus revenues from settlement land sales shall be credited to the federal government.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: This recommendation is based on another recommendation, and since the Bureau plans to take no further action on that recommendation, it will resume selling settlement land at the Columbia Basin Project and will resume crediting the revenues as has been done in the past. Because an impasse exists between GAO and the Bureau, GAO is closing the recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Commissioner, Bureau of Reclamation, to refrain from selling settlement land at the Columbia Basin Project until consideration of the proper disposition of future surplus settlement land sale revenues has been completed.

In its first year the Challenge became an instant classic, with huge fan turnout and gorgeous scenery. But the race itself was more or less over midway through. Don't look for 2012 to be the same, though, with more climbing, a summit finish on Boulder's Flagstaff Mountain on the penultimate stage, and a final-day time trial. This one will go down to the wire. Race website

Recent Amelia Island Resorts reviews
"This was a perfect getaway for our Christmas holiday. We enjoyed the accommodations overlooking the golf course. The golf courses were in great condition. The condo offered comfortable accommodations. We will definitely visit again in the near future. The plantation offers great amenities and restaurants. It is pet friendly and we enjoyed our walks."
"Amelia Island was a revelation to us. You can do as little or as much as you want here, from rest and relaxation to cycling, beachcombing, hiking, kayaking and golf to name some. If your stay extends for any length of time, we suggest the Amelia River Cruise Cumberland Island boat tour and a visit to the local museum for the 8 Flags history presentation. Shopping and terrific dining choices abound, specifically in Fernandina Beach and the Plantation. The unit itself is located in a quiet area of like structures--maybe 20 on one side of the road that border the second hole of the Oak Marsh golf course and 20 on the other border a nature area. Each grouping has its own pool (not heated). Walk the golf course or the winding roads of the adjacent housing area which is beautiful. The entire area is secure and very well maintained, daily. Our unit filled the bill for what we were looking for. However, especially for extended stays, we would suggest that some cleaning equipment (mops), cleaning supplies, and some additional pots and pans be made available. All in all, a wonderful experience."
"My husband and I stayed at the condo from 12/22/14 through 12/29/14. The condo was very clean and homey. We were able to bring our small dog with us, and enjoyed the walking trails. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. Although the condo was on the third floor, there was an elevator that we used when transporting our luggage., The condo was also very quiet. Having the shops and restaurants nearby was a nice bonus. We will stay at the condo the next time we are in the Amelia Island area."

Senators full of confidence ahead of series with Pens
The next challenge is a big one but the Senators are ready to "see if we can create an upset."

OTTAWA—The Ottawa Senators have proven they can get results as an underdog. They have overcome long odds this season and are coming off an impressive series victory over Montreal.
The next challenge is a big one but the Senators are ready and loaded with confidence.
Ottawa will face the top-seeded Penguins in the Eastern Conference semifinal beginning Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. The Senators, who knocked off the second-seeded Canadiens in five games, will need a strong team effort and solid goaltending to compete with the Atlantic Division champions.
"I'm sure everyone's writing us off to lose this round, I'm assuming," said Marc Methot. "It's an opportunity for us to prove a lot of people wrong and see if we can create an upset."
Pittsburgh is loaded with star players but the one area the Senators may have an advantage is in goal. Craig Anderson was clearly the difference for Ottawa in the first round and he'll be counted on again against the Pens.
The Senators have also displayed an offensive spark of late along with a willingness to get physical.
"Once you're here you don't think anything is impossible and we believe that," said Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson. "We think we can give a Pittsburgh team a tough run and even win this series. We also respect them and their abilities and what they've shown this year and it's going to take an effort from everybody to have a chance."
Star forwards Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jarome Iginla lead a deep Pittsburgh lineup that's coming off a six-game win over the New York Islanders. The Senators will need to contain that explosive offence if they have any hope of keeping the series close.
"With their skill we can't give them too many odd-man rushes or it's not going to be pretty," Alfredsson said. "We expect to play the same way, (a) pretty straightforward, physical game, but at the same time stay out of the (penalty) box."
The Senators wore down a number of Montreal's forwards with their physical play and will be looking for a repeat performance.
"People need to know that when you're playing against great players it's not always easy to be physical against them," said Methot. "They're good for a reason and don't put themselves in vulnerable positions where they'll take big hits. It's going to be tough."
Methot, who faced Crosby in the 2005 Memorial Cup, said the Pittsburgh star is always intelligent on the ice.
"He's really efficient and doesn't put himself in a lot of vulnerable positions," Methot said. "He's got a short stick so it's hard to pokecheck the puck off of him and he thrives off the down-low plays. We have to play him real hard and smart."
The Senators cannot afford to give the Penguins many opportunities with the man advantage. Pittsburgh has the best power play of all playoff teams with a success rate of 33.3 per cent.
"We know specialty teams is a big part of their game," said Alfredsson. "They're strong five on five, but their penalty killing is good and their power play is among the best in the league so it lets us know that we have to be smart."
Anderson's strong performance against the Habs has given the Senators confidence that they can afford to take risks and not worry that every turnover or mistake will come back to haunt them.
"It frees you up a little bit, you're not quite as tight and tentative when games start and when the pressure's on if you know your goaltender can make some saves for you," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. "It can help loosen you up sooner than maybe the team that doesn't think their goalie can."
MacLean strongly believes goaltending "has to be the No. 1 pillar you have to have if you're going to have any success."
Anderson will face a former teammate and friend in the opposing net. Anderson and Tomas Vokoun used to form the goaltending tandem in Florida and remain close, but the Senators netminder said friendships have to be put aside in the playoffs.
"It's fun when you play against guys you know," said Anderson. "It makes the rivalry that much more challenging and fun."
This will be the fourth time the two teams have met in the post-season. The Penguins have a 2-1 edge in series wins, the most recent coming in 2010 when Pittsburgh beat Ottawa in six games.
"We have some rivalry with them because we played them quite a few times in the playoffs in the last six years," said Alfredsson. "We know each other pretty good. I think we have a different team than we did in previous years against them. They had some changes, but their core group has been together for a while and they have some experience."

Source: Browns reach deal with Ivy
The AFC runner-up Baltimore Ravens have lost a third cornerback this offseason, with veteran nickel defender Corey Ivy reaching an agreement with the Cleveland Browns.
Details of the contract, confirmed by a team source, were not yet available.
Ivy joins starters and Pro Bowl-caliber players Chris McAlister and Samari Rolle as prominent cornerbacks who have departed the Ravens. McAlister and Rolle have been released.
Ivy is not at the same performance level as Rolle or McAlister, but he is one of the best nickel cornerbacks in the league and a solid part-time starter. The Ravens have signed free agents Domonique Foxworth and Chris Carr to rebuild the cornerback position, but the loss of Ivy is a fairly significant one.
The much-traveled Ivy began his career with New England in 1999 as an undrafted free agent from Oklahoma. He played for the Patriots as a rookie, and also has been with Tampa Bay (2001-2004), St. Louis (2005), and Baltimore (2006-2008).
Although he started 11 games in 2007, Ivy has settled into the nickel role and likely will assume the same role for the Browns. He has played in 102 games with just 21 starts. For his career, Ivy has 278 tackles, interceptions and 23 passes defensed.
Last season with the Ravens, Ivy appeared in all 16 games with just one start, and had 52 tackles, no interceptions, and three passes defensed.

Peter A. Coclanis: Wanted: Dedicated Deep Thinkers for the Business World
I'd like to propose the creation of a new position called the CIAO, or chief intellectual-arbitrage officer: Someone to work with the CINO not only to generate new ideas but also to ask new questions, identify new trends, explore new niches, expand geocultural boundaries, project forward, and remember the past. The CIAO would not necessarily have a science/tech or business background—in fact, such a background might detract from his or her effectiveness. Rather, I visualize the perfect CIAO as a liberal-arts type, someone who reads broadly and voraciously, is articulate, knows how to do research, can count a little, has backbone, and likes to argue.
Sounds like at least a few brilliant Ph.D. students in the humanities and social sciences you've met over the years, doesn't it?...
I'm proposing taking that a step further—to the benefit of both humanists and industry. What a successful intellectual-arbitrage officer would bring to the table are questions, ideas, connections, and possibilities from other intellectual, disciplinary, geographic, and cultural "worlds." Lots of "what ifs," "why nots," "did you ever think abouts," "X seems a lot like Y's." Most of those questions would not hold up to strategic scrutiny and market discipline, but a small number might. And for what it would cost a company to fill such a position, one home run—or even a single or a double—would pay handsomely. Believe me, humanists come cheap. As Calvin Trillin famously put it years ago: "The Nation pays in the high two figures."...

10 Biotech Stocks Expected to at Least Double
4. Avanir Pharmaceuticals (AVNR) acquires, develops and commercializes drugs for central nervous system disorders. Lead product candidate Zenvia for pseudobulbar affect has completed three Phase III clinical trials. Avanir's second-quarter loss widened 15% to $5.7 million, but remained steady on a per share basis, at 6 cents. Revenue declined 18%. Avanir's stock sells for a book value multiple of 9.7 and a sales multiple of 76, massive premiums to pharmaceutical peer averages. Of analysts following Avanir, all four advise purchasing its shares.
Bullish Scenario: Jefferies (JEF) offers a target of $10, implying the stock will more than triple.

Outlook: BNFL
Friday 25 September 1998
Obviously, this is going to be highly controversial. Even the last administration hesitated when it came to selling BNFL. For New Labour to embark on such a project might therefore seem a trifle foolhardy. BNFL's business is a sensitive one and it is never far from the environmental debate. Furthermore, the integration of the Magnox power stations into the core business of producing and reprocessing nuclear fuel creates potentially vast decommissioning liabilities that the private sector won't want to have anything to do with.
It also gives BNFL control of and responsibility for Nyrex, which is charged with storing and ultimately disposing of nuclear waste. Forget the political flak Peter Mandelson is going to get for suggesting the idea; all this is going to present even the City's finest with quite a privatisation challenge.
But there's no reason it shouldn't or can't be done. Indeed, BNFL's acquisition this summer of Westinghouse's nuclear reprocessing plants and related businesses in the US makes the strongest possible case for doing it. The Westinghouse acquisition demonstrates both that it is possible to have private sector ownership of such assets and that this has become a global, commercial business, perhaps best managed by a global enterprise.
Mr Mandelson is right to be contemplating privatisation, even if it is going to give him more than a touch of trouble with the brown rice-eating brigade.

There is a category of statement known as the "thought terminating cliché."
Here's the entry from a page which has been pulled from Wikipedia:
Thought-terminating cliché
A thought-terminating cliché is a commonly used phrase, sometimes passing as folk wisdom, used to propagate cognitive dissonance (discomfort experienced when one simultaneously holds two or more conflicting cognitions, e.g. ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions). Though the phrase in and of itself may be valid in certain contexts, its application as a means of dismissing dissent or justifying fallacious logic is what makes it thought-terminating.
The term was popularized by Robert Jay Lifton in his 1956 book Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism. Lifton said, "The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly reductive, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. These become the start and finish of any ideological analysis." [1][2]
In George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the fictional constructed language Newspeak is designed to reduce language entirely to a set of thought-terminating clichés. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World society uses thought-terminating clichés in a more conventional manner, most notably in regard to the drug soma as well as modified versions of real-life platitudes, such as, "A doctor a day keeps the jim-jams away."
Thought-terminating clichés are sometimes used during political discourse to enhance appeal or to shut down debate. In this setting, their usage can usually be classified as a logical fallacy.[citation needed]]]
Thought-terminating clichés are also present in religious discourse in order to define a clear border between good and evil, holiness and sacrilege, and other polar opposites.[citation needed] These are especially present in religious literature.[citation needed]
The religious or semi-religious ideas of cults, heretics, and infidels are also often used as thought-terminating clichés, e.g. "Do not listen to him, he is an infidel," (a guilt by association fallacy) or "That line of thought sounds like a cult" (also a guilt by association fallacy).
The statement "that is a thought-terminating cliché" can itself function as a thought-terminating cliché. Once the stator has identified a first statement as a thought-terminating cliché, they may feel absolved of needing to determine whether that first statement is indeed a thought-terminating cliché, or provides useful insight, in the context under discussion.
Along these lines, a conclusion is generally considered the 'end of thought.'
While active in water politics in Arizona, I heard political slogans described as a means to shut down thought. One slogan claimed If we don't get more water, we have to give up the whole idea of living here.
The truth would have been If we don't get more water, we have to give up the whole idea of building more homes on land from which alfalfa growers can no longer afford to pump groundwater.
Also while living in Arizona, a doctoral candidate in psychology warned a class of the fraudulent intent of sentences that start with "I feel that" and conclude with a thought.
"I feel that" you make some good points.
Studying logic, formal and informal fallacies is a great way to understand dialog while hardening your heart.
Language is used for misdirection so much in public discourse, debates and campaigns.
I don't think thought-ending cliches are always undesirable. Sometimes, there is nothing else left to say and the conversation needs to be put out of its misery.
I think they are used often to evade thought and discussion, but maybe they do have their proper use and place in dialog.
I've put a few lunchtime chats with post-religion folk out of their misery by suggesting "Let's talk about sex."
From one of these last gasp chats, on the injustice of most boys and few girls having nighttime orgasms, there came the profound truth, "God fucked up."
Folks laughed, so I guess it was a thought-ending cliche too.
People say things constantly that are trite and pointless. It's a part of being mentally lazy.
For example, "well," "um," and "uh," among others.
Here's an example for you: [X] is just another religion.
My favorites:
'That is settled dogma!'
'Please sit down, you are embarrassing yourself in front of your friends/other passengers'
'I think you are here to upset others'
'We are made of light, we have no need for doubt'
'All men are bastards, and we control the message'

Anne Murphy and her husband P.J. move their three kids back to Anne's childhood home on Fear Street where her father still lives.

Pottery Barn
Pottery Barn – Why Work For Us?
For nearly 60 years we've been focused on enhancing our customers' lives at home. Along the way we've learned a lot about enhancing our own lives at work. We are a results-oriented team with People First as our mantra. This means that we strive to deliver a workplace experience where the quality of our engagement with fellow associates, business partners and customers matches the quality of the products and services we bring to the marketplace.
A common set of beliefs guide the way we do business.
o Focus on the customer: Our customer is at the center of everything we do. Our business success hinges on our ability to anticipate and meet the needs of our customers around the world by offering high quality products and world-class customer service.
o Driven to Win: We pursue our goals with a purpose and a sense of urgency, and we are accountable to our teams and ourselves to deliver superior work product. Don't let our casual style fool you. We mean business.
o Entrepreneurial Spirit: Our constant curiosity around providing solutions for our customers' evolving lifestyles, improving on our great ideas and developing more efficient ways of working drives us to take calculated risks and launch new ideas that benefit our business and our stakeholders.
o Inclusiveness: We firmly believe that workplace diversity and a culture of inclusion helps to spur innovation, create healthy and high performing teams, and deliver a retail experience that will continue to surprise and delight our customers. We are committed to honor and invest in the diversity of people, thought, experience, culture and style in the hiring, recruiting and development of associates across all company functions.
o Celebrate Success: We take pride in our associates and the success they strive for everyday. Whether celebrating a service anniversary, honoring heroic customer service or recognizing outstanding achievement, dedication and outstanding results are rewarded and recognized through a variety of programs at every level of the organization.
o Continuous Improvement: Our goal is to build the strongest team in retailing, which means we are consistently up-skilling associates throughout the organization. We offer hundreds of learning and development opportunities through our Talent Development department, mentorships, cross-brand assignments and other programs that build critical business skills, transform knowledge into action and shape our career paths.
We will build sustainability into every corner of our enterprise so that our continued financial success will enhance the lives of our many stakeholders, the communities where we have a business presence and the natural environment upon which we rely.
Corporate Responsibility is one of our company values, which means that responsible commercial success is at the core of what we do every day. We have laid a strong foundation for making social and environmental improvements that are also good for business, and we continue to challenge ourselves to integrate corporate responsibility into our business strategies, brands, and engagement with employees and customers.
We focus our corporate responsibility and sustainability efforts on three main areas:
Products: We are continually adding products with sustainability attributes to our assortments such as furniture made with FSC-certified wood, or hand-crafted rugs and accessories sourced directly from artisans and fair-trade vendors.
Operations: We've found numerous opportunities to build sustainability into our operations, from corporate headquarters to distribution facilities, to server farms, to stores. To name a few, we've begun generating our own clean energy at some of our most energy intensive business locations; we're using FSC-certified paper for 100 percent of our catalogs shipped in the U.S.; and we have opened three manufacturing facilities in the U.S., providing jobs to more than 400 skilled American craftspeople and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our upholstered furniture business.
People: Our associates are our greatest assets, and we support their efforts to improve the communities in which they live and work. In addition to sponsoring events such as AIDS Walks and numerous team volunteering activities, corporate associates get paid time off to volunteer with community nonprofit organizations, and Williams-Sonoma, Inc. matches their contributions to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations.

This Australian documentary, that has won praise from professionals in the field, highlights how real estate distorts the rest of the economy.

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 new policy from a new perspective. Once your worldview shifts — so that vacant city lots are no longer invisible — then epiphany. "Of course! Why didn't I see it before?" Once you do see the emptiness and what damage it does, how can you ever go back to the old paradigm?
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.
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!
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.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old loggers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
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.
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.
