How economies work – and don't
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
about the money we spend on the nature we use. It flows torrentially yet invisibly, often submerged in the price of housing, food, fuel, and everything else. Flowing from the many to the few, natural rent distorts prices and rewards unjust and unsustainable choices. Redirected via dues and dividends to flow from each to all, "rent" payments would level the playing field and empower neighbors to shrink their workweek and expand their horizons. Modeled on nature's feedback loops, earlier proposals to redirect rent found favor with Paine, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Wherever tried, to the degree tried, redirecting rent worked. One of today's versions, the green tax shift, spreads out of Europe. Another, the Property Tax Shift, activists can win at the local level, building a world that works right for everyone.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old log-gers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
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.
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!
more transformation than reform; it's a step ahead. Harvard economics students this year did petition to change the curriculum, in the wake of the English who caught the dissension from across The Channel. French reformers, who fault conventional economics for conjuring mathematical models of little empirical relevance and being closed to critical and reflective thought, reject this "autism" – or detachment from reality – and dub their offering "post-autistic economics". Not a bad name, but again, academics define themselves by what they're not, not by what they are, unlike geonomists. We track rent – the money we spend on the nature we use – and watch it pull all the other economic indicators in its wake. We see economies as part and parcel of the ecosystem, similarly following natural patterns and able to self-regulate more so than allowed, once we quit distorting prices. To align people and planet, we'd replace taxes and subsidies with recovering and sharing rents.
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.
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 neologism for sharing "rent" or "social surplus" – the money we spend on the nature we use. When we buy land, such as the land beneath a home, we typically pay the wrong person – the homeowner. Instead, since land cost us nothing to make and is the common heri-tage of us all, rather than pay the owner, we should pay ourselves, our neighbors, our community. That is, we should all pay land dues to the public treasury, then our government would pay us land dividends from this collected revenue. It's similar to the Alaska oil dividend, almost $2,000 last year. Indeed, the annual rental value of land, oil, all other natural resources, including the broadcast spectrum and other government-granted permits such as corporate charters, totals several trillion dollars each year. It's so much that some could be spent on basic social services, the rest parceled out as a divi-dend, as Tom Paine suggested, and taxes (except any on natural rents) could be abolished, as Thomas Jeffer-son suggested. Were we sharing Earth by sharing her worth, territorial disputes would be fewer, less intense, and more resolvable.

Here's a quick shot of me as Drake from Uncharted 4! An awesome photo shoot courtesy of Debshots Photography is on the way!
Next week, look for this Drake at SDCC! My costume is 95% done. Custom holster and shirt just need weathering :))
Well, that would probably be at the Deep Silver Party, where they were celebrating Dead Island 2. They had a photo booth set-up and Sam Thompson, a Sony Producer working with Naughty Dog and Bend, was covered in zombie make-up. We and a few other ND devs posed like we were being eaten, he was going to take a big bite out of my neck haha. It was really funny, and I'm STILL looking to where they posted the damn photo for proof XD
Hey everyone, I just got back from an awesome E3, I'm super stoked to report on anything you guys want to know :). I'll also now be frantically getting my UC4 costume together for SDCC :D
It was awesome to meet Troy Baker again at E3! He took the mild fanboydom at a trade show very well haha

Problems aplenty at Bristol for several Chase hopefuls
Aug 25, 2013, 1:01 AM EDT
On Saturday night, Bristol Motor Speedway's usual chaos contributed to yet another dramatic shift in the Race to the Chase. In hindsight, you're tempted to say to yourself, "As if it wouldn't."
Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., and Ryan Newman – all of them trying to cement a spot in NASCAR's ten-race postseason dash – suffered setbacks in the Volunteer State, as Busch was victimized by a wheel hub issue on his car and the other three were caught in a late-race crash.
Busch had started on the front row and led 54 laps early on, but his right-rear wheel came loose and he was forced to pit under green. After service, he was promptly tagged for speeding on pit road and then made contact with Josh Wise on the track that damaged his car and sent him back to the pits.
Eventually, he was forced to go behind the wall in order for his team to properly deal with the hub problem.
"We didn't even pit yet, so we had a wheel start to vibrate loose at an odd time," said Busch, who would make some progress and finish 31st, but fell back to 12th in the Sprint Cup standings at six points out of 10th position.
"I felt vibrations before, but we are leading the race walking the dog and our right-rear is falling off. It's just kind of how you have to fight sometimes and overcome the obstacles that come your way."
Even with that turn of events, Saturday's Irwin Tools Night Race was playing out to be relatively cleaner than your typical 500-lap romp around the Bristol high banks. At least, until Lap 446.
On that lap, contact between Brian Vickers and Denny Hamlin caused a tire failure for the latter, who then slid up into traffic and started an eight-car incident that involved Keselowski, Truex and Newman.
Truex, who was unable to return to action and finished 35th, said he couldn't see anything during the incident.
"They just started jamming up and I tried to follow the 29 [Kevin Harvick] through and [the hole] closed up," he said in the TV broadcast. "We got smashed in the fence and hit a couple of times.
"…We just didn't have enough gas at the end there and we had to pit, and once you get in the back here towards the end, they start wrecking and you're an innocent victim."
Truex wound up falling to 14th in the standings, but thanks to his win earlier this summer at Sonoma, he still maintains hold of a Wild Card spot despite being sidelined before the checkered flag. Newman, who finished 21st on Saturday, has managed to climb into the second Wild Card position.
As for the winless Keselowski, he's dropped from eighth to 11th in the standings after a 30th-place result – and is now likely steeling himself for what will be a pressure-packed final two weeks of the regular season.
"If you're not in [the Chase] right now, I don't care if you're running eighth or you're running 13th, every team is worried and concerned – not just mine," said Keselowski.
"I'm not gonna be out of the worried zone unless I make it or it's over…We've tested at the next two tracks [Atlanta and Richmond] and we're gonna be very competitive. I feel like this is gonna come down to the last lap at Richmond and I'm ready for that battle."

The Los Angeles Lakers lost 102-96 to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night and some may feel that Mike Brown's benching of Kobe Bryant in the fourth quarter played a critical role in that defeat. That isn't the case and it's quite easy to defend the rationale behind the coach's choice. Brown removed the superstar from the game with 5:45 remaining in the fourth with his team down 93-79.

Has anyone had any experience with their shoulder holsters any help would be welcome.
This is a discussion on Alessi holsters ? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Has anyone had any experience with their shoulder holsters any help would be welcome....
Has anyone had any experience with their shoulder holsters any help would be welcome.
The Alessi shoulder holster is one of the best leather shoulder holsters out there. The Alessi is the only one I use on those occasions when I do decide to carry in a shoulder rig.
The "pull through" retention system makes it just great for sure, fast and easy acquisition of the firearm.
With the Alessi...the firearm is secured in the holster using a snap that snaps inside the trigger guard. All you need to do is get your solid grip on the firearm and pull.
There is no traditional or more common retention strap.
It's a great time proved system. It works flawlessly. Lou Alessi was the inventor of this shoulder holster. It is quite a popular shoulder holster with working plain clothes police detectives who have carried daily in the Alessi for many years.
The holster body itself is molded so well to the firearm and the construction is so good that it's impossible to over-insert the firearm far enough for the snap system to come in contact with the trigger to cause an unintended discharge.
On body re-holstering is a bit more difficult but, that is not really a concern for general daily carry.
The holster straps should be adjusted so that the firearm is positioned directly under the support side armpit with the muzzle canted slightly up.
After you wear it just long enough to get the firearm positioned exactly the way you want it - the extra harness strap material should be cut off.
I normally carry OWB but, sometimes the shoulder holster is a preferred way to carry (for me) I use mine mostly in Winter since (again for me) my draw and presentation is quicker from the shoulder than moving my leather coats and bulkier clothing out of the way at the waist.
Give the Alessi a try. I think you'll like it.
On those rare occasions when I attend a wedding or other such function where I wear dress pants and a suit jacket - carry in a shoulder rig is my best option since I always carry either a SIG P220 or a Colt Combat Commander and a full size/full weight firearm does not carry too well at the waist OWB with a thin, skinny dress belt.
Thank you for your reply it will not b my everyday holster I have a supertuc for that but thought it would b more comfortable in the vehicle an yes also for winter season thanks again for the input it will be for my 40 emp

The Bodyguard is not available for all firearms though. You'll need to find out if it's available for your intended carry.
Wow that is quite a bit of info on that link. Thanks.

Microorganisms Study Guide (page 2)
Microorganisms (microbes) are very small, and most of them cannot be seen with the unaided eye, requiring the use of a microscope or at least a magnifying lens. We can also detect microorganisms by chemical tests. These living beings are everywhere, even in extreme environments such as very hot springs, very cold and dry areas, and even deep in the ocean under tremendous pressure. Some of these organisms cause diseases in animals, plants, and humans; however, most are beneficial to us and the Earth's ecosystems. In fact, we are utterly dependent upon microbes for our quality of life. This lesson will discuss three types of microorganisms: bacteria, protists, and fungi.
Bacteria are microorganisms that do not have a true nucleus; their genetic material is free floating within the cell. Bacteria are very small one-celled organisms and do not contain very complex cell structures. Generally, bacteria come in three varieties: bacilli (rod-shaped), cocci (sphere-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). Bacteria are prevalent in all environments and are important members of an ecosystem. They are responsible for the breakdown of dead organic matter into its constituent molecules. For this reason, we call bacteria decomposers. They also can be eaten by other organisms and are thus valuable in food-chain relationships. Since bacteria are small, can divide asexually very rapidly, can live practically anywhere, and have great metabolic versatility, they are the most numerous organisms on Earth. Many bacteria, when placed in good conditions, can reproduce every 20 or 30 minutes, each doubling its population after each reproduction.
Benefits of Bacteria
To illustrate the importance of bacteria, let's look at the cycling of the element nitrogen that is used by organisms to make proteins. We will start with dead plants that are being decomposed by bacteria. The nitrogen from the plant tissue is released into the atmosphere, and nitrifying bacteria converts that nitrogen into ammonia-type compounds. Other bacteria act upon these compounds to form nitrates that plants absorb. When these new plants die, we are back again at the decomposing bacteria that release the plant's nitrogen back into the atmosphere.
Bacteria are even in our intestinal tracts to aid in the digestion of food and the manufacturing of vitamins. We derive many benefits from bacteria, but they can also cause us to suffer with diseases.
Bacterial Diseases
Microorganisms, including bacteria, cause many diseases. These organisms enter our bodies in a variety of ways, including airborne transmission, ingestion by mouth, or through the skin when it is cut or injured. We can eliminate this threat by disinfecting utensils and hands or even by the sterilization of objects (the application of high-pressure steam heat). All these methods destroy bacteria and other microorganisms that may cause disease.
This group is composed of single-celled organisms that have their genetic material contained within a nucleus and have some specialized structures within their cells. These organisms are considered to be more primitive than other organisms with cellular nuclei, but they are more evolved than bacteria (Kingdom Monera). This is a diverse Kingdom consisting of organisms with varied structures and functions, such as amoeba and paramecium. Some of this Kingdom's members are autotrophic and contain chlorophyll, whereas others are heterotrophic and must eat other organisms. It is believed that early protists were both animal- and plant-like because they were able to obtain food in both ways. Today, a protist called Euglena does this. Protists are important parts of food chains and ecosystems, and some protists cause disease.
The Kingdom Fungi contains single-celled organisms that are heterotrophic in the sense that they do not contain chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesize. Other fungi are multicellular and not microorganisms but function in much the same way as the microscopic forms. However, it is more accurate to describe the ability of multicellular fungi to obtain food in three ways. Saprophytic fungi consume dead organic matter, parasitic fungi attack living plants and animals, and mycorrhizal-associated fungi form close relationships with trees, shrubs, and other plants, where each partner in the relationship mutually benefits.
Fungi produce spores that are very resistant to temperature and moisture extremes. These spores can travel to new areas, thus spreading the fungi organism. The spores can survive for a long time, even in inhospitable environments. When conditions change and become more favorable, the spores germinate and grow. Food is absorbed through structures called hyphae. A large mass of interconnected, branching hyphae is called the mycelium, which constitutes the main body of the multicellular fungi. However, the mycelium is usually not seen because it is hidden throughout the food source being consumed.
What is most often visible is the fungal fruiting body. A mushroom is a fruiting body that contains the spores. The main body of the mushroom (the mycelium) is under the soil surface. An organism called lichen is a mutually beneficial union of a fungus and an algae. Because fungi consume dead organic matter, they play an important decomposition role in an ecosystem. Their actions return nutrients to the soil for eventual uptake by plants.
In Short
The general grouping of microorganisms (microbes) includes the bacteria (one-celled organisms without a true nucleus, also called prokaryotes) and the protists (one-celled organisms with a true nucleus, also called eukaryotes, along with all other organisms besides the bacteria). Single-celled fungi (yeasts) are also microorganisms, but multicelled fungi also exist in abundance. We are completely dependent upon the action of microorganisms, and many more of them are beneficial rather than harmful.

In the lead-up to the release of her third full-length studio album GIRL TALK, Kate will be releasing her new single '3AM' on February 18th.
In the meantime, the British style icon and multi-instrumentalist singer/songrwriter will be hitting the decks at one of New York Fashion Week's most exciting parties. Teen Vogue will be celebrating it's 10 year anniversary, along with Chloë Grace Moretz's 16th birthday at Aéropostale on Thursday, February 7th.
Other musical guests will include Swedish chart-topping pop duo Icona Pop.
Kate Nash also recently became a global ambassador for the Because I Am A Girl initiative which aims to create sustainable projects in developing countries to give girls access to clean water, food, healthcare, education, and protection from violence and exploitation. Kate will be visiting various schools and villages in Ghana later this month. "I'm so happy to be a part of this campaign, it feels like the perfect charity for me to join forces with. I love empowering women and girls and being able to do this in developing countries in parts of the world is so exciting. I can't wait to help give girls the opportunities they deserve and see them realize their full potential." said Kate in response to joining forces with the organizers.

The debate over whether the Green Bay Packers reached in free agency by signing former Carolina Panthers and most recent Chicago Bear Julius Peppers has been ongoing since the day the annual all-pro signed on the bottom line at 1265 Lombardi Avenue.
But at least one writer from nfl.com, Dan Hanzus, believes the Packers hit a home run with the pick.
In the "Roster Reset" at "Around the League" over at nfl.com yesterday, several writers put their pens to paper with a list of the winners and losers in free agency.
The Packers, along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders, were all tabbed as winners in this offseason's player and money grab. The losers were the San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tennessee Titans.
We'll let you read the descriptions for all the others, but for the Packers, here is what Hanzus had to say. I have to say, I can't disagree with him:
The Packers made history's first big splash in free agency when they landed Reggie White, but this is an organization not known to take big chances on other people's players.
That changed this season with the acquisition of Julius Peppers. Even at a diminished state, Peppers is a prime candidate to enjoy a late-career resurgence playing in a playoff atmosphere at Lambeau. Peppers and a healthy Clay Matthews are bad news for Jay Cutler and the reset of the NFC North signal-callers.
Meanwhile, general manager Ted Thompson did well in bringing back core players who help keep Green Bay the class of the division. Retaining cornerback Sam Shields was vital to the secondary, and re-signing James Starks and John Kuhn keeps a nice nucleus in place around rising star Eddie Lacy. I even like the Matt Flynn re-signing.
– Dan Hanzus
What are your thoughts? Did the Peppers signing help put the Packers over the top on the defensive side of the ball? Will the Packers be able to add a safety, linebacker and maybe even another defensive lineman in the draft to get them back to elite status?
