As background, it helps to know what has been happening to incomes over the past three decades. Detailed estimates from the Congressional Budget Office — which only go up to 2005, but the basic picture surely hasn’t changed — show that between 1979 and 2005 the inflation-adjusted income of families in the middle of the income distribution rose 21 percent. That’s growth, but it’s slow, especially compared with the 100 percent rise in median income over a generation after World War II. Meanwhile, over the same period, the income of the very rich, the top 100th of 1 percent of the income distribution, rose by 480 percent. No, that isn’t a misprint. In 2005 dollars, the average annual income of that group rose from $4.2 million to $24.3 million." policy economics class **** op-ed krugman nyt Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:52:39 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/fd0afd755a71ca4e7e74f8be7d86f6dc#gp.edwards http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/09/can-the-nypd-shoot-down-a-plane-kinda-sorta-not-exactly/ http://del.icio.us/url/fd0afd755a71ca4e7e74f8be7d86f6dc http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/fd0afd755a71ca4e7e74f8be7d86f6dc gp.edwards's links "Last night, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly made a startling claim: that the NYPD has “some means to take down a plane,” in the event of another terror attack. But don’t let your imagination run too wild: there’s no stealth jet emerging from 1 Police Plaza; there are no anti-aircraft missiles mounted on the top on the Williamsburg Bank. Kelly’s talking about a simple sniper rifle, which an NYPD helicopter crew could carry into the air, and target the engines of a plane. A small plane, I’m guessing. Which makes Kelly’s eye-popping assertion, issued on Sunday’s edition of 60 Minutes, accurate in only the most narrow, literal sense. Police sources tell the New York Post that the (potentially) plane-shooting Barret .50 caliber rifle is stored in an NYPD safe and is deployed only for ’special occasions,’ such as when the president is in town.”" nypd nyc police aviation airplane **** dissertation wired dangerrooom http://del.icio.us/url/362c24b12e3c3b719754e15949ef2135#gp.edwards http://www.aag.org/cs/events/event_detail?eventId=263 http://del.icio.us/url/362c24b12e3c3b719754e15949ef2135 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/362c24b12e3c3b719754e15949ef2135 gp.edwards's links Deadline: September 28 conference ***** Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:12:43 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/e277b8832cf9ee02c239665831cc3803#gp.edwards http://www.urbanaffairsassociation.org/annual_meeting/paper.html http://del.icio.us/url/e277b8832cf9ee02c239665831cc3803 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/e277b8832cf9ee02c239665831cc3803 gp.edwards's links Deadline: October 1 conference ***** http://del.icio.us/url/a46be29934cdf1286678b175910c344c#gp.edwards http://www.alternet.org/teaparty/152148/the_founding_fathers_believed_in_redistributing_wealth__why_do_tea_party_heroes_like_perry_and_bachmann_vilify_it http://del.icio.us/url/a46be29934cdf1286678b175910c344c http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/a46be29934cdf1286678b175910c344c gp.edwards's links A point that needs to be made more often: "...conservatives like Bachmann are absolutely in love with policies that redistribute wealth, as long as they shift it from working people upward to the investor class. Whether we're talking about trade policy, labor rules that make it difficult for workers to organize or shifting the tax burden from corporations to the backs of American families, the results of the right's long class war from above are plain to see. The top 1 percent takes in more than twice the share of national income today than they did 30 years ago. Paul Buchheit, a professor with City Colleges of Chicago, crunched some numbers using IRS data and found that “if middle- and upper-middle-class families had maintained the same share of American productivity that they held in 1980, they would be making an average of $12,500 more per year.” At the same time, top earners pay far less in taxes than they did when Ronald Reagan was in office." politics government taxes taxation 2011 labor class usa Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:26:56 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/d2948b0d8d329324b8244e9972594d69#gp.edwards http://simulacra.blogs.casa.ucl.ac.uk/2011/06/londons-rail-system-as-a-network/ http://del.icio.us/url/d2948b0d8d329324b8244e9972594d69 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/d2948b0d8d329324b8244e9972594d69 gp.edwards's links Beautiful visualization with a good discussion of what went into it. visualization london train network mapping *** uk transportation Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:26:47 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/6da1c240b7c9a6242bd7a1149abf42ab#gp.edwards http://www.infochimps.com/search?query=airport&view=list&price_category=&has_categories=&dataset_type=&order=balanced&tags= http://del.icio.us/url/6da1c240b7c9a6242bd7a1149abf42ab http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/6da1c240b7c9a6242bd7a1149abf42ab gp.edwards's links Plenty of stuff I've probably overlook regarding airports and air travel. aviation airport dissertation mytools data *** research reference Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:11:26 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/0b3c9c8f3a5d8117f9a28f41bc0efda1#gp.edwards http://www.outsideonline.com/blog/outdoor-adventure/climbing/patagonia-ebay-sign-the-pledge-then-sell-your-old-stand-up-shorts.html http://del.icio.us/url/0b3c9c8f3a5d8117f9a28f41bc0efda1 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/0b3c9c8f3a5d8117f9a28f41bc0efda1 gp.edwards's links "Patagonia and eBay have partnered on a Patagonia-specific resale site powered by eBay that you can access from Patagonia's website.
