The Deer Park Dharmacast (Class, Moment by Moment) How Swedes And Norwegians Broke The Power Of The ‘1 Percent’ While many of us are working to ensure that the Occupy movement will have a lasting impact, it’s worthwhile to consider other countries where masses of people succeeded in nonviolently bringing about a high degree of democracy and economic justice.
Sweden and Norway, for example, both experienced a major power shift in the 1930s after prolonged nonviolent struggle. They “fired” the top 1 percent of people who set the direction for society and created the basis for something different. Resources. Commentary - Pagitsas, January 2012. The nation’s stock of affordable multifamily housing is aging.
Half of all multifamily properties are now more than 30 years old. More than one property in 10 was built before 1940. At that age, properties will require small to significant investments to preserve the quality of the property and to keep them affordable for owners to operate and tenants to rent. At the same time, property owners and tenants alike are facing rising utility rates, resulting in higher costs to heat, cool, and provide water to common areas and units.
In an effort to encourage better management of energy costs and consumption, cities and states in the U.S. have enacted or are proposing laws requiring property owners to track and report energy consumption and associated costs to the locality or to prospective tenants.

Foreclosure Crisis. Bank of America Lied to Homeowners and Rewarded Foreclosures, Former Employees Say by Paul Kiel ProPublica, June 14, 2013, 5:44 p.m.
Former Bank of America employees gave sworn statements that the bank lied to homeowners, denied loan modifications for bogus reasons and rewarded employees for sending homeowners to foreclosure. Freddie Mac Bets Against American Homeowners. Freddie began increasing these bets dramatically in late 2010, the same time that the company was making it harder for homeowners to get out of such high-interest mortgages. No evidence has emerged that these decisions were coordinated. The company is a key gatekeeper for home loans but says its traders are “walled off” from the officials who have restricted homeowners from taking advantage of historically low interest rates by imposing higher fees and new rules. Freddie’s charter calls for the company to make home loans more accessible. Its chief executive, Charles Haldeman Jr., recently told Congress that his company is “helping financially strapped families reduce their mortgage costs through refinancing their mortgages.”
Is Freddie Mac Betting Against Homeowners? iKitchen – DIY Touch Screen Wall-Mount Computer. This New Zealand modder decided to make a touch screen PC for his kitchen so his wife could keep inventory of their food, print out shopping lists, access the web, watch TV and use it as a normal PC. First, he found a cheap touch screen monitor which would form the heart of the device.
These screens are used in vending machines and public places in Japan so they are vandal-proof and water-proof which is perfect for the kitchen environment. **Note** This post was first published six months before the iPad was released.

The two most well-known "heavyweight" desktop projects are GNOME and KDE; these include both a desktop environment and an application development framework. A desktop environment includes a window manager, help browser, file manager, task bar, and so on. A development framework includes any number of libraries to ease application development, perhaps most importantly a GUI toolkit. GNOME and KDE are the desktops with the most support from Linux distribution vendors. The second flavor of X desktop includes a desktop environment only; no development framework is included.
