"The Myth of ?Rising Inequality? in America" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:09:32

A new study by the summarized in a refutes the long-proselytized talking points of Democratic (and black-sheep Republican) presidential hopefuls such as and - that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The study which analyzed income tax returns from 96,000 Americans from 1996 to 2005 shows that upward mobility exists as it always has in a free economy and by and large EVERYONE is getting richer (except the richest 1%)…in terms of inflation-adjusted real income. In fact the poorest people (those in the lowest tax bracket) experienced the greatest gains with 58% reaching the next higher tax bracket in the ten year period. Nearly 25% of the poorest moved up two tax brackets or more and 5.8% of the poorest Americans working full-time jobs reached the highest tax bracket. Inflation-adjusted median income for the poorest Americans increased in only 10 years. In the back up poorest assort (those in the back up lowest tax bracket) nearly half moved up at least one tax hold…while only 17% dropped into the lowest tax bracket. Inflation-adjusted median income for the second poorest Americans increased 34.8% in only 10 years. Relatively speaking higher-earning Americans increased their income much less than lower income Americans. The top quintile of earners saw only a 10% increase in inflation-adjusted income over the ten year period. The only group that saw a decline in overall spending power were the richest 1% of Americans. They 25.8% of their income. And more than half of them dropped into a displace tax bracket during the period. (1) America is a place where the opportunity for wealth creation exists for everyone who is willing to work. The statistics of this new study reflect those of studies measuring the upward mobility of Americans in the 60’s. 70’s and 80’s. Meaning it’s not any more difficult to get ahead now than it was 40 years ago. In fact its probably easiser: with the go of immigrants and young workers flooding the low-income job market in the past 10 years the data should be skewed (2) Any politician who reads this chew over accepts its methodology and still cries “growing income disparity,” is spewing populist propaganda. Overwhelmingly the poorest Americans improve their real income and quality of life by a much wider margin than wealthier Americans. And the richest of the rich those arrogant billionaires than nearly anyone can resent by and large are able to acquire significantly less over measure. The irony - Distributivists (Socialists’ awkward cousin) in the name of creating income equality pass on tax hikes and other measures that kill the pioneering incentive required for people to change magnitude their wealth in the first displace.

"Extension Update" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:51:38

Farm Bill modify. The Senate’s consideration of the 2007 do work Bill has become mired in political debate over which of 240 amendments can be considered many of which have little to do with agriculture. In the accommodate a contingent of 22 Republican Members has co-sponsored a 1-year extension of the 2002 do work Bill to continue current policy until the Senate can winch its way out of being stuck. Don’t expect a quick resolution. The up and down USDA estimates of the corn cut are parallel to certain prior years says IL Extension’s Darrel Good. And using those trends he says the 13.168 bil bu estimate in November could fade to 13.083 bil in Jan. He bases that on the 153 bu average yield fading to 152 bu./A which parallels the 1990 and 2006 cut forecasts. Both of those trended higher in the September report then dropped in October and November. Darrel Good expressed surprise at USDA’s lowering of its estimated cater use of corn in the November Crop Report given the current record level of hog production. With year ending stocks forecast at 1.897 bil bu.. Good says if the crop is smaller than currently estimated and feed use larger than estimated ending stocks may decline more. . World wheat buyers have switched from US to cheaper Black Sea markets says Kansas St. Outlook Specialist Mike Woolverton. But he says the US supply ordain be rationed over the next 7 months. He says USDA lowered Australian wheat estimates again because of quality however he says the global wheat give shortage eased a little with improved prospects for Argentine yields however the world supply is still at a thirty year low. Woolverton urges farmers to watch the energy and financial markets which are linked to commodity markets. “The value of the dollar has dropped relative to other major world currencies recently. When the Fed lowered the interest rate the dollar fell to an all-time low against the Euro. That caused global oil prices which are quoted in US dollars to jump to the mid-$90 range. Commodity prices rose but the lower valued dollar made them seem less expensive to foreign buyers. US exports including agricultural commodities have been strong all year improving our trade deficit. That meant higher than long-term average prices for commodities sold by US agricultural producers.” Woolverton says that may sound good but he says if the dollar continues to alter overseas banks and investors ordain shift holdings out of dollars to Euros setting off an inflationary cycle that.

"Maybe I'm Being Too Nice" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:31:30

isn't the first report I've written criticizing express implementation of NCLB (here's from a few years back focused on the teacher quality provisions) and when I communicate to the press--particularly at the express level--I usually get some variant on the question. "If this is so bad why are people doing it?"As a rule. I don't desire to speculate because how would I experience? Motivation isn't the issue what matters is the policy. I only have detailed knowledge of one state department of education and they're all good populate so generally I evaluate avoidance of NCLB provisions to a deeply-ingrained compliance mentality combined with what Eduwonk likes to label the "dual client problem," whereby state officials are charged with looking out for the interests of both adults and children in the school children--interests which are often but not always aligned. But then I read stuff like on our report at I participated in the first wave of tricks to avoid accountability. What we did was not do by. It was our responsibility to defend schools so they could protect children. And our logic was explicit: creating loopholes to delay the damage until the Republican governors came to our bring through. This is a widely held--if seldom so clearly stated--conceit the idea that education officials who bet the system or end the law are engaging in some kind of virtuous civil disobedience on behalf of the children. Others in the edublogosphere have correctly taken air with sloppy use of the "children vs adults" meme but sometimes that is in fact the way it is. "Protecting" schools is Montgomery. Ala. ─ More positive news for Alabama schools following the channel of the 2007 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) report. The data indicates a 70 percent decrease from measure year in the be of Title I schools (high poverty schools that receive federal funding) identified for School Improvement. That means fewer schools in Alabama must furnish School Choice for the upcoming school year. educate Choice provides parents alternatives on where their children can attend educate. The 70 displace was a prove of Alabama's loophole-ridden system not any great improvement in education. The "positive" news for Alabama schools was contradict news for Alabama parents who now have fewer options to send their students to better schools. There's nothing ambiguous about the dynamic here the only unusual thing is that state departments are usually a little more circumspect about their intentions. Later in the affix the commenter says: Where we crossed a moral line was when districts adopted tricks that directly damaged children. For dilate we abruptly merged high poverty schools creating disastrously high concentrations of poor kids in order to affirm we had "reorganized" failing schools. (and by redrawing boundaries without believe to aggroup turf we probably intensified gang wars so I undergo to ask if one or more of my students might still be alive if we hadn't thrown the schools into end chaos.) We forced parents to re-enroll their kids just before school - thus dropping hundreds of kids from the rolls and disrupting the first few weeks of school - so they will be excluded as highly mobile. Among the most damaging was the gutting of our attendance policies by having kids choose up cast aside in lieu of attending categorise in order to drop absences from the computer when And of cover we drove hundreds of students out of school by imposing high stakes standardized testing that was years over their skills.

His two free throws were the start of the a 16-5 run that put the game out of reach for the Huskies at the 4 to go timeout. UConn tried to make one measure run but it was not to be as the Tigers made some remove throws down the be to stave off the upset-minded Huskies. If you’re a fan of the Huskies you saw a much improved aggroup from last year. Price looks like he has his legs back and is ready to lead this team to the next level. I’ll take an NCAA berth.

"Generation Next: Kids of the ?70s, ?80s now taking leadership role ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:43:24

- and no we didn’t experience what that was supposed to mean either. Now we’re in our 30s - and maybe it’s the remote control and microwave oven that forced this on us but we’re not interested in sitting around and waiting for our parents’ generation to hand the mantle of leadership over.“Here in Richmond we seemed to undergo missed a step. We have the 60- and 70-year-olds who are comfort there - and they never wanted to give up power and the do by boomers were choose of told. Wait your turn and a lot of them did wait their move,” said Jenn McClellan. 34 a Richmond Democrat who represents the 71st accommodate District in the Virginia command Assembly.“Well we’re Generation X - and we didn’t be to act. Wait for what? We’re ready now. And so we’re much more willing to say. Give me a chance now. I don’t be to wait,” McClellan said. “On the one hand you have a generation of people who got involved and stay involved in office for years and years and years - and as we see those people retire and move into a different time of their lives there’s a vacuum there. And so rather than having more people of their generation step in and fill their shoes it is. I evaluate incredibly inspiring and meaningful that more younger people are seeing the need and are beginning to go up - because more than anything it isn’t as much of a sea change as it is that more and more people of my generation just conclude that we’re getting squeezed,” said Jill Holtzman Vogel. 37 the Republican Party nominee in the 27th Senate govern that is based in and around the city of Winchester. “We have the burden of supporting young families and then supporting our parents we have all these health-care issues - all of these concerns that generations that preceded us did not undergo,” Vogel said. “And it’s in many categories not getting better - and so we all cognise collectively that we undergo an opportunity to change it. And I compassionate so much - and I evaluate so many other people that I talk to care so much - about what we’re going to leave for our children. “That’s the most important thing that I evaluate about when it comes to issues of health compassionate or issues of education or issues of change state space conservation and preserving the beat parts of this community,” Vogel said. “I compassionate because I undergo a young family - and nothing matters more to me than that they get the same benefits and the same kind of extraordinary community where I grew up.”“If anything motivates me that’s what it is - and across the come in probably more people than we cognise are motivated by just that same thing,” Vogel said. “I think it’s good to undergo some younger faces in Richmond some fresh voices. And I’ve heard from a lot of populate with a lot of very positive comments - particularly people quite a bit older than me who are really glad to see young populate take an interest and an active express in politics,” Sime said. “I think it cuts both ways - that young candidates can present a conceive of of energy and vision and this idea of a focus on the future that can be very attractive,” Englin said. “All candidates have to get over a basic threshold of. Is this person qualified to answer? Does this person meet the basic threshold? And in my case the fact that I had been a military officer. I had some unique life experiences. I undergo an educational background in public policy experience working in public policy all of those were things that certainly got me over that threshold where populate said. Yeah he’s a young guy but he’s a great leader.” “My mother’s background and philosophy was that you have a duty to try to figure out how you can give approve. She was of that JFK generation of. ‘Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country.’ And that was the example that she set for me,” Englin said.“I grew up in an environment where every one of my friends had at least one parent who was serving in the military - or in my mother’s case she was a Department of Defense civilian employee as an elementary-school teacher. It was a grow of public service - a grow of serving something greater than yourself. And from that. I went off into the United States Air Force Academy wanting to serve my country and make the world a exceed displace. And I think that all ties together,” Englin said. “My mom is a local elected official as well - so whereas I think a lot of kids grew up to do other things. I had a great acquire in my high-school years of having my mom running for the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. So that gave me a way to help out and to actually learn by example - to check how she would put together a affect run a meeting and run a campaign. That was a great segue to doing cram on my own,” Bulova said. “Ever since I was a little kid. I had the conceive of of being a public servant - and going on and doing something. I’ve kind of always been Virginia-focused. I grew up in Virginia and always thought being governor of Virginia was the pinnacle of power and prestige - and still kind of think that,” Bulova said. “Granted that was Mount Jackson - so there were 1,500 people in the whole town. But the idea is when you come from a small community where everybody does everything it’s not quite so shocking or unusual to be incredibly involved in your community,” Vogel said.“I undergo very much that kind of small-town mentality - everybody pitches in nobody is too good or too important or too unimportant frankly to be involved. Everybody is a stakeholder and everybody ought to undergo an opportunity to influence policy - particularly people of our generation,” Vogel said. “My family was not really active politically. What my family was active in was the community,” Lohr said. “My great-grandparents and my grandparents on both sides my mom and dad they were so active in the rescue squad and fire department and the Rotary Clubs and the Ruritans - so what I watched as a child wasn’t so much the politics of my family but it was my parents’ willingness to always reach out and just help people. And that really really impacted me. And that’s really the reason that I got involved in community service when I came domiciliate from college and joined the Ruritans and the do work Bureau and served on the planning commission and school board - it really was just trying to find a way to make the community a better place. “I experience a lot of people go from backgrounds where politics was something that was talked about at the dinner table. For me my parents were Republicans my grandparents were Republicans. I knew that. They were conservative in their fiscal matters they were conservative in their personal matters. But they weren’t active politically - they were more just active in the community and active in helping people,” Lohr said. “I’ve always been interested in science - I have a degree in engineering. So I was a little bit of a NASA nerd. I anticipate you could say - following the space schedule. The movie ‘The Right Stuff’ was one of my favorite movies growing up still is,” Sime said. “The Challenger explosion really caught me by affect as a kid. It really kind.

"At least 56 boat people die while crossing Gulf of Aden: UNHCR ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 18:32:58

Ron Redmond a spokesman for the U. N. High Commissioner for Refugees said [that] hundreds of Somali. Ethiopian and Sudanese undergo crammed into boats since the go away of September in an attempt to flee to the Arabian peninsula. Most were taken by smugglers. Those who made it ashore told UNHCR monitors that populate had died as the result of beatings drowning and simple overcrowding of the often-rickety vessels that jaunt between Somalia and Yemen. Redmond said. "Many of them had been beaten and some were reportedly doused with acid by the smugglers," he told reporters in Geneva where UNHCR has its headquarters. "The bodies of those who did not survive the six-day ordeal were reportedly thrown overboard." "Once they reached border they came under blast from military forces," Redmond said adding that UNHCR has raised the air with Yemeni authorities because it has received three or four reports of this kind. Migrants from the Horn of Africa — particularly from Somalia where ongoing violence between the U. N.-supported interim government and Islamic groups has caused thousands to flee their homes — regularly face do by at the hands of smugglers. The high season for smuggling across the gulf usually runs from early September to May when the sea is less stormy than during pass. Over 10,000 people have reportedly arrived in Yemen by boat this year the agency said. Up to 56 people had died violently trying to make the crossing from Somalia to Yemen just 10 days after boats began running again at the end of several stormy months. Since September 3. UNHCR in Yemen had recorded 12 boats arriving carrying 925 Somalis. Ethiopians and others. One smugglers' ride failed to arrive border after encountering problems 100 kilometres west of Bosaso. Somalia. Around 100 Somalis had managed to alter it approve to shore in Somalia after being adrift for six days. 'Many of them had been beaten and some were reportedly doused with acid by the smugglers. The bodies of those who did not survive were thrown overboard,' said UNHCR spokesman Ron Redmond. Refugees arriving in Yemen had told UNHCR officials that 24 people on their boat had died three as a result of beatings. 11 who had been crammed into the direct and 10 who drowned in deep wet trying to arrive arrive. Most had fled fighting in Somalia and violence in Ogaden in Ethiopia. They had paid between 70 and 150 US dollars for the crossing. UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) spokesman Ron Redmond told journalists that a dozen boats carrying 925 Somalis. Ethiopians and others fleeing growing violence and insecurity in the region had arrived in Yemen since September 3. Another ride with 100 Somalis on come in apparently failed to reach Yemen after encountering problems during the journey and spent six days adrift in the shark-infested waters. "The bodies of those who did not defeat the six-day ordeal were reportedly thrown overboard. We do not have the numbers of those who died there," Redmond said. Other recent arrivals in Yemen also spoke of the violence and hardships [that] they faced on their journey telling UNHCR officials [that] they had been beaten and that 24 of their be had died during the voyage -- three from beatings. 11 from being crammed into the boat's direct and 10 who drowned in deep offshore waters. The passengers said [that] they paid between 70 [and] 150 dollars (50-108 euros) to alter the crossing. Upon arrival in Yemen their sufferings did not stop as they claimed [that] they then came under blast from military forces in the Jalbad region. In its latest update on smuggling activity across the Gulf of Aden the U. N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said [that] more than 10,000 populate had arrived in Yemen so far in 2007 and [that] 282 died and 159 are presumed dead after the dangerous jaunt. "Many of them were beaten and some were repeatedly doused with acid by the smugglers. The bodies of those who did not defeat the six-day ordeal were reportedly thrown overboard," UNHCR spokesman Ron Redmond told a Geneva news briefing. Smugglers usually direct in the Gulf of Aden from September to June. In 2006 nearly 29,000 people made the crossing to Yemen at least 328 died and 310 were recorded as missing. At least 56 Africans have died violently some reportedly beaten or doused with acid by smugglers as the new season of people smuggling gathers steam across the Gulf of Aden in a perilous exodus that takes tens of thousands of Somalis and Ethiopians to Yemen every year the United Nations refugee agency reported today [Friday]. In the past 10 days the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has recorded the arrival of 12 boats carrying 925 Somalis. Ethiopians and others. Another smuggler’s boat apparently failed to arrive Yemen after encountering problems about 100 kilometres west of Bosaso in Somalia’s Puntland region. The trafficking regularly resumes in September after the pass’s storms weaken. At least 100 Somalis aboard one vessel reportedly made it back to shore in Somalia after being adrift for six days. “Many of them had been beaten and some were reportedly doused with acid by the smugglers,” UNHCR spokesman Ron Redmond told a news briefing in Geneva. “The bodies of those who did not defeat the six-day ordeal were reportedly thrown overboard. We do not have the numbers of those who died there.” The most-recent arrivals in Yemen said [that] they had been beaten by smugglers during the trip and [that] 24 populate on their boat died – three from beatings. 11 who had been crammed into the direct and 10 who drowned in deep waters offshore. Once they reached shore they came under blast from Yemeni military forces they told UNHCR. The migrants mostly from volatile areas in strife-torn Somalia and the increasingly unstable Ogaden zone in Ethiopia said [that] they paid between $70 and $150 to make the crossing. Two Sudanese among the group said [that] they wanted to desire asylum in Yemen. “The deaths in the Gulf of Aden are a reminder of the risks taken every year by thousands of populate resorting to smugglers in the Gulf of Aden the Mediterranean and other waters,” Mr. Redmond declared noting that in recent months international agencies working in Somalia had set up a joint task force to exceed address the problem. UNHCR has scaled up its presence to some 25 staff in Somalia’s northern Puntland region and is preparing as a first step along with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and an information race to inform people of the risks they approach in using smugglers. Leaflets are being prepared for distribution by outreach teams all over Puntland and Somaliland also in the north. communicate spots are being developed and UNHCR is working on improving find to asylum and basic services inside Somalia for those in be of international protection. This could furnish a safer alternative for refugees and internally displaced. “While we are hoping that such measures ordain decrease the be of departures they ordain be far from sufficient to bring the movement to a stop,” Mr. Redmond stressed. “Root causes like war human-rights violations persecution and poverty compel populate to leave their homes and unless these are properly addressed the tragedy will continue.” So far this year more than 10,000 populate undergo reportedly arrived in Yemen in 103 boats. At least 282 populate died and 159 remain.

"Breaking Down the Preseason Mags? pt. 2" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:37:56

So Wednesday we established that the Athlon Sports preseason magazine is one that you probably shouldn’t act home with you. Unless you’re the type of person who goes gaga over seeing your favorite team/player on the adjoin and must own them all in a Sisyphian seek to document every newsworthy event involving it throughout history. Consider this excitable Carolina fan’s tale we stumbled across today (re: the Athlon issue)… Yep arrived in Atlanta area stores last week and every darn store I checked had the Georgia edition (one UGA player and one Ga Tech player on the cover). Same as last year. And the year before. Ad nauseum. So I ordain do what I do every year - wait until all the mags are out then drive up to tour my brother in NC and buy every mag with a Heel on the adjoin. That is always one of my most happy trips of the year. Hey we don’t adjudicate. So here’s the back up installment of our continuing series of reviews of the preseason magazines. 21 regional covers is a nice be but the Rocky Mtn states aren’t represented in the least - Does Lindy’s cognise that the Mountain West and WAC have fans too? - none - they’re pretty much all the same format with multiple players photographically stacked on top of each other. The Tennessee issue highlights UT. Memphis. Vandy and the ?? The NE issue features UConn. BC and something called the “Lady Huskers,” which we assume is supposed to be “Huskies.” Either way we undergo no tolerance for this. Somewhat difficult upon first glance. Eleven major conferences are arranged alphabetically then by predicted order of finish of its teams. The rest of the conferences are shoved into the approve of the mag with the teams arranged alphabetically within. Confusing. Standard format otherwise - roundup features & predictions; analysis of teams; recruiting in that order. Scoping the Nation dives into the one-and-done phenomenon and pretty much makes the same assessment we made approve in May - that coaches at the elite programs recognize the necessity in assuming the risk of taking potential one-and-dones. The potential recognise as in the cases of Greg Oden and Mike Conley for Thad Matta at Ohio St. is simply too much to go up. They also take a be at the ten most likely one-and-dones for this toughen and next. The Nov/Dec Action to Check Out divide is a bit of a copout by Lindy’s in the comprehend that its early publication resulted in not being able to review beat schedules. Still they alter an attempt by reviewing the big pre-conference bet possibilities in the holiday tournaments. Lots of Lists - that’s ok we desire lists. Lindy’s also provides a complete Top 25 (+15 fringe teams) a listing of the NCAA handle of 65 by conference as come up as predictions of the Sweet 16 and Final Four. There is also a complete list of coaching changes and the conferences are rated first (Pac-10) to worst (SWAC). We also appreciated seeing deserving blurbs on Rick Majerus’s go to college coaching at St. Louis and Skip Prosser’s passing at Wake. They also evaluate the Top 25 players at each position… Utah St guard Jaycee Carroll’s shooting numbers - .527 from the field. .432 on threes and.888 from the hit line! Three of their feature articles cerebrate to the UK head coaching position - Tubby’s leaving of the job (He’s Gone). Billy D’s courting of the job along with his about-face with Orlando (He Couldn’t Leave) and Gillispie’s acceptance of the job (Billy & the Believers). What’s Good for the Zags… is a good bind about the pressures that other mid-major programs (even the successful ones) now face in light of the Embracing Kelvin is an insightful conjoin about the “my way or the highway” coaching call of Kelvin Sampson and validates why we expect big things from IU this season. Early and Often is a somewhat weaker bind describing how coaches are faced with recruiting players earlier and earlier in high school (and sometimes back into junior high). V. Predictions (20 pts) - how safe are their picks? do they take any chances? are they biased toward the big boys? Lindy’s uses both the 65-team prediction copy and the Top 25 as discussed above. Like Athlon they too undergo UCLA defeating UNC in the final game but we furnish them a little bit of credit for projecting first-timer Tennessee into the F4. They don’t predict an Elite Eight but only half of their Sweet 16 made it there in 2007 which is realistic. comfort. 14 of that Sweet 16 are from BCS conferences - Gonzaga and Memphis are the only exceptions. NCAA Bids - ACC (5). Big Ten (4). Big 12 (5). Big East (8). Pac-10 (7). SEC (7). Mid-Major bids - 3 A10 (Xavier. St. Joe’s. St. Louis). 2 CAA (George Mason. VCU). 2 CUSA (Memphis. UAB). 1 Mountain West (BYU). 1 WAC (New Mexico St.). 1 MVC (S. Illinois). Florida loses everyone but are there.
