Sound Devices Upgrades New USBPre 2 Interface with Addition of ASIO Driver
ANAHEIM, CA, JANUARY 13, 2011 â Sound Devices is taking its USBPre 2, an all-new version of its popular USBPre computer audio interface, to the next level by adding Windows OS ASIO drivers along with its built-in, class-compliant drivers. The two-channel USBPre 2 offers professionals a powerful, yet easy-to-use, portable interface to interconnect audio sources to both Mac OS and Windows computers over USB. With the addition of ASIO, the USBPre 2 can now connect to popular DAW software platforms in Windows, such as ProTools 9.
âThe benefit of class-compliant drivers means simplicity for customers,â? says Paul Isaacs, principal applications engineer, Sound Devices. âOut of the box, the USBPre 2 works in Mac OS, Windows and Linux environments. We recognized the need for ASIO drivers for Windows, as it unlocks high sampling rates that are already available in Mac OS and enables users to take advantage of the high performance of the USBPre 2.â?
The USBPre 2 is ideal for a broad range of applications including voiceover recording, reference playback and monitoring, and test and measurement. USBPre 2 uses the same extended-bandwidth, low-noise microphone preamplifiers and digital converters as Sound Devices award-winning 7-Series Digital Recorders.
The class-compliant, plug-and-play device accepts mic level, line level, consumer line level and SPDIF digital (coaxial or TOSLINK) inputs. Its microphone preamplifiers have selectable analog limiters, high-pass filters, 48 V phantom power and high-resolution LED meters. Because the USBPre 2 draws its power solely from the computerâs USB port, no additional power source is required.
Sound Devices designed the USBPre 2 for both reference quality input and output. Its balanced XLR outputs offer superior rejection to interference and are switch-selectable between mic or line level. Additionally, a consumer RCA-type output is available for connection to unbalanced inputs. Its headphone amplifier easily drives full-sized headphones with extensive, clean gain.
With its unique stand-alone mode, the USBPre 2 functions as a two-channel microphone preamplifier with analog, digital and headphone outputs. Stand-alone mode is perfect for applications that require an easy-to-use, quality microphone preamplifier. A built-in high-resolution LED level meter helps further facilitate these types of applications.
The USBPre 2, as with all Sound Devices products, is designed to withstand the physical and environmental extremes of field production. Its chassis is made from aluminum for superior durability and weight reduction.
ASIO drivers will be available for all registered users of the USBPre 2 beginning in February 2011.
Sound Devices, LLC designs and manufactures portable audio mixers, digital recorders and related audio equipment for feature film, episodic television, documentary, news-gathering, and acoustical test and measurement applications. The eleven-year-old company designs and manufactures from its Reedsburg, Wisconsin, headquarters with additional offices in Madison, WI, and Highland Park, IL.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility views the organization as having a responsibility to benefit society. Missions are considered with respect to their various broader impacts on different constituencies, people's quality of life, regional economy, security, safety, or environmental sustainability. An organization must use power and resources responsibly. It must guard against the abuse of power affecting those dependent on the organization or vulnerable to its demands.

Can We Make a Pointe?
Did you know that two major expense items for us each year are shoes for the dancers and the physical therapy that helps keep them dancing? This year, we will go through more than 250 pair of Pointe Shoes for our Ballerinas, and many dozens for our Men. Pointe shoes average about $75 a pair; and men's ballet shoes about $25 a pair.
Although we have a dedicated group of medical professionals who donate their time, there is still a need for regular physical therapy above and beyond what is donated. That comes to $500 per month for the nine month Season.
Would you like to see specific needs like these benefit from your contribution? Your gift here will "keep them on their toes" OR help them "hold it all together."
Many thanks for all of your support, and we look forward to seeing you at the ballet.

"Lost Girl" Recap (3.07): Home Is Where the Monstrous Heart Is
The sweet she-devil sends them packing off to the Cherry Festival for some wholesome fun, but not until they change into some of Bo's old dresses and sensible footwear. Well, at least now Kenzi sees the kind of monster they're really dealing with. No one messes with The Kenz's kinky boots. Or makes her wear white.
At the festival it's all pit-spitting contests and double Dutch games until they run into an old school rival of Bo's. Bo beat her three years in a row for Miss Cherry Blossom. She lives in Chicago now, dresses in black pantsuits and generally hates everything. Charming girl.
Speaking of charming, Mama Dennis is hanging laundry when the girls return. She's all sweetness and light until the sky goes gray again and the creepy ghost lady – this time sporting a handy sickle – re-emerges and takes a swing at them. This sends Bo's mom into a righteous fit screaming about fornication and casting her out. p.s. The symbolism of Bo's mother's puritanical views on sex, juxtaposed with a town that celebrates the cherry, is not lost on me.
Her mother's bigoted judgment sends Bo into a shame spiral and she screeches off in the convertible leaving Kenzi to figure out what attacked them besides religious fanaticism. Thanks to different kinds of good books, Trick and Kenzi deduce they're dealing with Południca, or Lady Polly. She is an underfae who strikes at midday and causes fatal accidents. And in Eastern European lore is the personification of sunstroke. Research on this show must be so fun.
Kenzi finds Bo hitting the cherry wine and slut shaming herself. And then her baser instincts really take over and her eyes go blue. Someone is hungry for more than just a slice of juicy cherry pie. Much, much more. Hey, Kenz, this would be the time to ass-provise. And she does. Now that's how you turn those blue eyes brown.
Bo remembers back in high school when Dougie was in his occult phase (complete with guyliner) that he led a bunch of them in a séance to connect with Lady Polly. And later that night the well house burned down and voila – that's how we got our monster of the week. They try to gather up the remaining classmates only to find Ms. Chicago choked on a cherry pit. Dougie then admits he's the one who caused the fire and released Lady Polly, yet another reason to never teach anyone how to Dougie.

The Western Bypass just north of Charlottesville was a $200-500 million road project that even VDOT studies showed wouldn't relieve congestion on 29 North. All the same, proponents pushed hard to get the road built. In June 2011, the Albemarle Board of Supervisors voted to reverse the County's long-held opposition to the project.
Despite a determined push to get this road built, the proposal hit some major speed bumps. In the fall of 2012, the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers questioned the effectiveness of the Western Bypass and the draft Environmental Assessment for the project - outlining the insufficiencies of that assessment, and the fact that VDOT has not adequately compared the Bypass to alternatives - such as the community's "Places29" plan. And then a major blow to the project was delivered in February 2014, when the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced serious reservations about the viability of the project
Our communities deserve well-planned, community-based transportation solutions -- not wasteful mega-projects. The good news is, now that the Western Bypass has been shelved, we can move forward with real solutions for Rt. 29.
Update! NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville -- VDOT Releases Property Acquired to Build Proposed Rt. 29 Western Bypass

- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/24/2014A perfect lunch; the fresh ricotta is sublime...and we haven't stopped thinking about the pasta. AmazingSpecial Features:
- Mediocre pasta, excellent ricottatabechanDined on 11/22/2014The ricotta lived up to the hype. Make sure you get it. The brunch pasta is mediocre. Not sure if it's actually handmade pasta. The uovo modense is done well but nothing too special. Just a classic slightly pricy eggs Benedict. The cotechino hash is just ground meat. Has a slightly weird chemical taste.Special Features:
- Best brunch in NYC!Brittany11Dined on 11/22/2014I love this place! It was our second time back to NYC and had to go back to Locanda Verde for brunch! The food was better than we remembered. The service was disappointing this time, but we overlooked it. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad first impression from hostessChichiVIPDined on 11/17/2014Chose this Italian restaurant because of decent reviews and close proximity to my daughters work. Take note that the hostess said we could not be seated until everyone in our party was in attendance. We wished to go ahead and order an appetizer and drinks while waiting a few minutes on our daughter but their policy would not allow paying patrons to do this, So we had to wait in the lobby on our daughters arrival. This immediately set for a somber tone to the start of a dinner visit with our daughter. Keep in mind that we were also told you must order everything at once. Well, after being seated we had a wonderful waiter that never mentioned this but we did order all after drinks as told by our hostess. Our party had the yummy autumn salad, cheese appetizer, trout, grandmothers ravioli and a seasonal pumpkin pasta dish. All were good but not excellent. Another thing, we ordered something extra, the mushrooms after we ordered earlier, so puzzled by their policy.Special Features:
- Neighbourhood gemTraveldelightsDined on 11/16/2014Came here years ago and wanted to return for a Sunday brunch during my NYC visit. Didn't have space, so settled for dinner instead. We had a warm welcome, a nice corner table, prompt service and in particular very good delicious food. Ambiance, interior and a window place made for the rest.... Great evening.... Will come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ALWAYS A WINNER !formerfrancophileDined on 11/14/2014It's hard to believe that a restaurant can surpass itself time after time, but that has been our experience at Locanda Verde. Seating is immediate, the waitstaff is so friendly and helpful that you want to adopt them, the food is outstanding and the wine list is formidable. The ambiance is continental and our only regret is having to leave it all again until next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, Great Servicecwm21Dined on 11/13/2014Wine list is fantastic, that had a good amount of affordable wines as well as the pricier ones. Food was good but not mind blowing, but definitely acceptable for the price point. Service was spot on, never intrusive but around when needed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HOT--but NotCary885VIPDined on 11/7/2014Instant hit restaurant due to celebrity chef Andrew Carmellini and big bucks backers. Food is NOT outstanding. Good, but certainly not worth the high prices and SKIMPY portions. Beautiful restaurant with lots of glitter and pizazz and packed at 11pm. And glad I went once but would never go back again.

The Pappardelle with lamb bolognese, mint and sheep's milk ricotta was very good. The waitress said their best seller was the Scampi Ravioli with rock shrimp, zucchini and toasted garlic. Wow, was this bad. It was basically cheese ravioli with a couple tiny shrimp on top. The waitress said the seafood was whipped into the mascarpone cheese to make it light. It had absolutely no seafood flavor. This dish was seriously lacking and was left on the table.

- Extremely slow serviceluvwine3Dined on 10/9/2014I chose Locanda Verde for my husband's birthday dinner. The food was, for the most part, incredible. Our waiter was really kind and knowledgeable - so much so that my husband and I talked about how the service was really good. However, between our pasta course and our entree, we waited 55 minutes. After waiting 30 minutes, the waiter told us the food was coming out in just ten minutes. After waiting another 20 minutes, the manager came out to tell us that she's sorry and the food is coming out 'in 90 seconds.' It came out a few minutes afterward. My husband and I were furious and the long wait ruined the birthday dinner. We enjoyed the food, but waiting that long - with no solid explanation - was unacceptable. Especially after spending $$$!Special Features:

It took 20mins before anyone even took our drinks order and then the food came out before the drinks (which was just coffee!). The waitress was very average. Food was ok but nothing to rave about like dinner. We also got out into the tiniest corner table that had chairs knocking into my wife's back when the next tables guests moved around. Next time will be going to Buddy's!Special Features:

I ordered the ricotta blueberry pancakes with lemon curd and they were slightly overdone. Slight burnt taste to it and dry - disappointing...The sausage was good though. Also, after ordering the waitstaff didn't really come around again until I was almost done. I would have preferred some honey with my tea that I ordered. Kind of an anti-climatic trip this time.Special Features:

The server was amiable and efficient (although it took several requests to get really hot coffee!) and we never felt rushed. Would go back in a heartbeat.Special Features:
- A big disappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/20/2014I had been here before for drinks and always wanted to come back based on the great reviews, so I decided to try it for brunch with friends, but left pretty disappointed. Hostess was nice and our server was super friendly, the problem was the food. I had the uovo al forno, which were two baked eggs with a few greens on top. Period. It was flavorless and not good at all. My friends had the frittata, and said it was under seasoned as well. It was three of us and we had one drink each, shared the ricotta cheese (the best part of our meal, really good!), one egg entree each, two shared desserts and one coffee each, and we ended up paying $70 each, which in my opinion is way too much for brunch. Especially a meh brunch. Not coming back.Special Features:

I'm not cheap but this is chutzpah. I brought a party of 6. Mistakes happen, so they dropped my entree plate, apologized and went to make another one, But did they offer a glass of wine, on the house while I had to wait. No business sense.

GetFLV 188.8.131.52
Surf the web in an integrated browser
Running the application is no big deal for anyone. Once brought up, a little getting used to is required, but the application comes equipped with a step-by-step user guide, that pops up once in a while to get you out of sticky situations.
A side panel is home to all major features the application has to offer. Amongst the fist, there is "FLV Browser" which allows you to go online using an integrated web browser. Depending on your configuration, operating system and Internet connection, you can test out several Kernels for better performance.
Once you manage to find a desired video, the link is automatically displayed in a bottom list, prompting you with several output quality and destination requirement fields. Files are then downloaded at speeds that are only limited by your connection type.
Convert and assemble videos
The application does not limit you to just downloading video files. Further browsing through the side panel, you notice several more useful tools such as "FLV Converter", "FLV Maker" and "FLV Audio Ripper".
In contradiction to what the name suggests, you are able to make use of a surprising amount of video file formats. You can add multiple files to the process and start conversion afterward. Available formats are stored in categories, carefully optimized for some of the most commonly used mobile devices and more. Additionally, you can fully customize quality settings to suit your needs.
Furthermore, you can import multiple video files and have them converted to FLV. Unfortunately, there is no integrated option that allows you to merge all items in the list into a single video. On the other hand, you are able to carefully, trim, crop and enhance any video by adjusting color sliders or even adding watermarks.
To end with
All in all, GetFLV lives up to expectations and is a lot more that what the name suggests. It needs a little more work on functionality, as we encountered small issues in our tests on two operating systems. However, it lets you quickly accommodate and gets the job done well, with little else to be desired.

Reflections on a Pluralistic Economics Workshop
- Details
- Published on Thursday, November 20, 2014
This week's Worldly Philosopher, Anthony Bonen, discusses the need for and possibilities of opening the field of economics to a diversity of approaches.
Last month, the University of Massachusetts Amherst hosted an eclectic group of New Schoolers at the 11th Annual Economics Graduate Student Workshop. As in past years, the discussions were engaging and, dare I say, inspiring. Representing as we do, marginal groups in the economics discipline, the engagement of UMass-Amherst and The New School's economics departments strengthens our ability to commit to economic pluralism. Although pluralistic and interdisciplinary approaches are desperately needed, their pursuit is not (*ahem*) optimal for the academic-career-minded graduate student. It is therefore essential that we be exposed to regular reminders that we – both our department and university – are not alone.
This year, the topics ranged from field studies of collective action in community-driven development in Brazil to critiques of Marxian models of technical change and an empirical analysis of how capital controls affect the real exchange rate.
Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth's field study in Brazil evaluated eight cases of participatory development projects that supported income and infrastructure, such as fence building, irrigation and bee raising. Through a survey and interviews with project participants, she showed that strong links to extant social movements and community institutions helped avoid elite capture and free riding. Jangho Yang's Marxian critique argued that capital and labor are qualitatively different entities. Taking this incompatibility seriously shows that structural changes in the economy are not predetermined. Such changes are, instead, evolutionary. Finally, Juan Montecino's econometric analysis of exchange rate regimes posited that capital controls could be used to maintain under- or over-valuated currencies. He demonstrated that, by controlling (to some extent) the flow of capital into and out of an economy, policymakers could effect soft – if blunt – industrial policy.
The diversity of approaches represented in this sample is, unfortunately, rare in economics. When the conference comes back to New York City next year, we hope to bring together an even broader array of students from different departments in NSSR and from divisions across The New School. In so doing we would bring the university and the economics discipline closer to the ideals espoused by one of its founders.
What Would it Take to Reach a Climate Agreement?
- Details
- Published on Monday, November 10, 2014
After last week's historic climate change deal between the U.S. and China, Geoffrey Heal, a coordinating lead author of the IPCC reports and professor of social enterprise at Columbia Business School, joined SCEPA to discuss how to secure a global agreement. His presentation put forward an optimistic message based on John Nash's game theory.
Coalition Building
First, he called for coalition formation based on initial agreements between the three largest emissions producers - China, E.U. and the U.S. - incentivizing other countries to follow and removing the disincentive of competitive disadvantage when acting alone.
Technological Innovation
Second, he called for an evolution in the discussion of climate change mitigation beyond timelines and targets, instead focusing on the technological innovations necessary to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. His presentation specified the current technical limitations and focused on alternatives that were or could be competitve in the market.
Geoffrey Heal's Climate Work
Professor Heal is noted for contributions to economic theory and resource and environmental economics. His recent books include Nature and the Marketplace, Valuing the Future, When Principles Pay and Whole Earth Economics (forthcoming).
Heal chaired a committee of the National Academy of Sciences on valuing ecosystem services, served as a Commissioner of the Pew Oceans Commission, a member of President Sarkozy's Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress, a member of the advisory board for the World Bank's 2010 World Development Report and the United Nations Environment Program's 2011 Human Development Report, and acts as an advisor to the World Bank on its Green Growth project.
Economics of Climate Change
Heal's lecture was hosted by SCEPA's Economics of Climate Change Project, led by New School Professor of Economics Willi Semmler and in coordination with The New School's Tishman Environment and Design Center. The project is generously supported by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Rethinking Economics Conference
- Details
- Published on Thursday, September 04, 2014
The 2014 Rethinking Economics NYC conference was an entirely student-run conference in New York City from September 12-14, 2014 at The New School, NYU and Columbia University.
Rethinking Economics is a global movement to create fresh economic narratives that challenge and enrich the predominant narratives in economics. The movement unites all who support new ways of thinking. The Rethinking Economics conference asked students to consider economic schools of thought beyond the mainstream neo-classical approach. The conference focused on the concept of economic pluralism: the belief that economics should be a more interdisciplinary subject that embraces useful ideas from various schools of thought and subject fields. The New York conference brought together students and thinkers from North America in order to engage in student-led workshops and a series of interesting speakers including Deirdre McCloskey, Philip Mirowski, Michael Sandel, Dean Baker, Richard Wolff, Julie Nelson, Paul Krugman, Neva Goodwin, James Galbraith and many more.
Krugman Gets it Wrong on Internal Migration
- Details
- Published on Monday, August 25, 2014
by Rick McGahey, SCEPA Faculty Fellow
In today's New York Times, Paul Krugman confuses issues around internal population migration in the U.S. with issues of job creation and economic growth. He ends up in an unnecessary and defensive argument about whether low-wage and anti-regulation states like Texas are a superior economic model.
First, there just isn't that much net internal migration. The American Community Survey tells us that in 2012, net migration between New York State and Texas was 9,043 in favor of Texas (20,274 New Yorkers to Texas, but 11,231 Texans to New York State). That is less than one-half of one percent of the total population of New York State, hardly a big trend. In fact, researchers are trying to figure out why internal migration is declining, not rising—in 2011, Federal Reserve researchers noted that "by most measures, internal migration in the United States is at a thirty-year low."
Second, outmigration and relocation is driven by a lot of things beyond relative taxation or regulation, including baby boomer retirements (oddly not mentioned in Krugman's column). If you just want to hold down migration, make New York a more attractive retirement location. Texas has had relatively strong job growth since the Great Recession, but analysts attribute much of that to natural gas and oil production, including virtually unregulated fracking.
Krugman's column has produced a predictable set of online complaints about high taxes and repressive regulations in New York relative to the South. New York does need more housing density, although the region has many housing opportunities given our public transportation network. But Krugman's odd use of what in reality are vanishingly very small numbers on migration to Texas inadvertently contributes to a misguided narrative about how attractive Texas and other bottom-feeder states really are.
Heartfelt Condolences to the Family of Irene Schwartz
- Details
- Published on Monday, August 18, 2014
The Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis (SCEPA) at the New School for Social Research is deeply saddened by the death of Irene Schwartz, best friend and wife of Bernard Schwartz. Bernard and Irene paid special attention to The New School Economics Department's commitment to economic policy and social justice. Together they named a professorship and provided scholarships and other material support to our economics students and faculty. Bernard and Irene, compassionate for the plight of vulnerable elderly and for the aspiration of all workers to retire in dignity, also support SCEPA's Retirement Equity Laboratory.
We are grateful for Irene's love for Bernard that helped he and she be expansive and proactive in solving problems of injustice facing humanity. We send our deepest sympathies to her family and friends, especially to her husband, our mentor and friend Bernard Schwartz.

VIDEO: An Evening with Thomas Piketty
- Details
- Published on Friday, September 26, 2014
On October 3, 2014, SCEPA hosted a discussion with economist and author Thomas Piketty (included in economist Brad DeLong's blog as a "Must Watch"). Piketty's best-selling book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, serves as a watershed example of the dual contradictions of capitalism and proves that the last century was characterized by a sharp divergence between social classes. He warns that the main driver of inequality—the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth—threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values.
Much like Piketty's work, economists at The New School for Social Research strive to analyze the dynamics of capitalism using historical and empirical analysis and, through SCEPA, its policy implications. Following Piketty's remarks, New School Professor Anwar Shaikh and Executive Director and Chief Economist at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth Heather Boushey presented their own comments and joined in a panel discussion to answer the question, where do we go from here?

The Political Economy of Unemployment Insurance
- Details
- Published on Thursday, July 03, 2014
This week's Worldly Philosopher, Ismael Cid-Martinez, discusses the politics and economics of unemployment insurance.
The debate surrounding unemployment insurance (UI) returns to Capitol Hill. This is not entirely surprising. Amid the good news, today's report confirmed that a large shadow continues to loom over our labor market. Examining monthly changes in each category of unemployment by duration, we observe that long-term unemployment remains stubbornly high when compared to previous recoveries (see graph).
Thinking Beyond the Minimum Wage Fight
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, June 24, 2014
On June 23, 2014, SCEPA Director Teresa Ghilarducci appeared on MSNBC's UP with Steve Kornacki along with Neera Tanden from the Center for American Progress and Paul Sonn with the National Employment Law Project to discuss the bigger economic picture that necessitates raising the minimum wage. The panel discussed the facts that productivity gains have far eclipsed wage gains, that the federal minimum wage has been stagnant since 2009, and that the average hourly pay has declined over the past 12 months. The panel overwhelming agreed the best way to address these structural economic issues is through increased collective bargaining. A recent working paper by Teresa Ghilarducci and Joelle Saad-Lessler find two factors that significantly impact the likelihood of obtaining employer-offered benefits - time spent unemployed and union status. Therefore, attempts to raise wages must address the decline in workers' bargaining power and change the norms relating to benefits and wage provision. The City of Seattle has taken the largest step in addressing the wage gap by elevating their minimum wage to $15 an hour, while Massachusetts offers the highest state level minimum wage at $11 an hour. Teresa Ghilarducci ended the MSNBC panel with a summary of the advantages of unionization for both workers and employers.
Policy Debates In A Post-Piketty World
- Details
- Published on Sunday, July 13, 2014
This week's Worldly Philosopher, Raphaele Chappe, writes on the policy implications of Thomas Piketty's analysis on inequality.
We are in a post-Piketty world. Since my last blog entry, Thomas Piketty has received nothing short of a rock star treatment upon his U.S. visit. What are the policy debates we face if Piketty is right?
As the ratio of capital to income (which Piketty terms "beta") increases, Piketty argues there is no natural mechanism that would lead r (the rate of return on capital) to adjust downwards so as to perfectly compensate the impact on the distribution, placing emphasis on policies that might reduce r.
Taxation is one way to reduce r and Piketty's proposal is a progressive world-wide tax on wealth although many agree that this may prove politically unfeasible, especially in the absence of international legal cooperation. Other tax possibilities for fighting inequality include increasing tax rates on capital gains and dividends (which have been getting favorable treatment in the tax code as compared with labor income1), or simply combating tax evasion for the wealthy (see The Price of Offshore Revisited).2 In my own research, I plan to run simulations to test the effectiveness of such tax proposals, and their impact on the wealth distribution.
We could also consider labor-focused policies designed to increase the share of national income going to labor, such as raising the minimum wage, or giving workers direct participation in management and profit through employee ownership or other means. (For the use of national income and product accounts (NIPA) as a framework for studying how inequality will be affected by fiscal and other initiatives such as raising the minimum wage, see SCEPA working paper 2013-1).
In order to advocate for the best policy solutions, we may wish to understand the drivers for high profit rates in recent decades.
The Long-Run Consequences of Income Distribution

- Published on Sunday, June 22, 2014
This week's Worldly Philosopher, Rishabh Kumar, models the asymmetric distribution of income and examines its effect on the growth of the U.S. economy.
In a previous post, I highlighted some demand side limitations stemming from the asymmetric distribution of income and consumption in the United States. This entry examines the effect of this asymmetry on the future of U.S. economic growth and the possibility of secular stagnation.
The Unemployment Report: Getting Used to Unemployment
- Details
- Published on Saturday, June 07, 2014
by Rick McGahey, SCEPA Faculty Fellow
This morning's May employment report continues the trend of slight improvement but subpar overall economic performance. The unemployment rate stayed stuck at 6.3 percent while jobs increased by 217,000. So far in 2014, job creation has averaged 214,000 per month, and if that rate continues for the entire year, it will be the strongest year since 1999.
But it is still not a great number. True, if May's job performance continues, then the Atlanta Fed predicts we will reach 5.5 percent unemployment in ten months. But any lowering in the unemployment rate is driven in part by weak labor force participation, which remains near its lowest level in over thirty years.
Heidi Shierholz at the Economic Policy Institute points out how weak our recovery remains, noting that we are six-and-one-half years away from the Great Recession's start. If you take population growth since then into account, we still are short around 7 million jobs.
The ongoing weakness of the job market also can be seen in data on wages and hours worked. Over the last year, average hourly earnings have increased by 2.1 percent, virtually the same as the low two percent growth in overall inflation. And the average hours worked each week hasn't increased at all in the past year. A tighter labor market should see increasing wages and hours, but we don't have that, underscoring that many people still lack work, and employers aren't hiring at a vigorous rate.
This month, we mark the five-year anniversary of the Great Recession's technical end. Five years is a long time for an expansion; the eleven U.S. business cycle expansions in the post-World War II period have averaged 58.4 months, although more recent expansions have lasted longer. And other data point to macroeconomic weakness. Real GDP growth in the first quarter of 2014 actually fell by one percent, making the relatively consistent job gains this year harder to understand.
But policy makers feel no urgency for further economic stimulus. We are in danger of accepting slow job growth, wage stagnation, and inequality as a "new normal." The U.S. should be borrowing more with today's very low interest rates, creating jobs in infrastructure and public services, but instead we drift along with slow growth, low wages, and a lack of shared prosperity.
A Conference to Honor Economics Professor Ed Nell
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, June 04, 2014
On May 3rd, the Economics Department of The New School for Social Research honored Professor Edward J. Nell's 39 years of teaching with a conference celebrating his many contributions to the field of economics. Prior to his retirement in 2013, Nell served as the Malcolm B. Smith Professor of Economics since 1969. He published more than twenty books and wrote hundreds of articles for leading journals on macroeconomic theory, monetary analysis and finance, economic methodology and philosophy, and transformational growth and development.
Below is a sample of the working papers contributed to the conference by former students inspired by Professor Nell.
Willi Semmler: "A New Chapter"
Anna Shoysta: "Edward Nell as the Worldly Philosopher: Shaping the Minds of the Future Economists"

Beyond Broke: Why Closing the Racial Wealth Gap is a Priority for National Economic Security
- Details
- Published on Thursday, May 29, 2014
SCEPA economist, Darrick Hamilton recently coauthored the report, "Beyond Broke: Why Closing the Racial Wealth Gap is Priority for National Economic Security" with the Center for Global Policy Solutions, the Carolina Population Center at UNC, the Research Network for Racial and Ethnic Inequality at Duke University, and Milano Graduate School of International Affairs at The New School. The report evaluates wealth disparities across racial and ethnic categories by providing an in-depth analysis of housing and liquid wealth.
The report finds that:
• Between 2005 and 2011, the median net worth of households of color remained near 2009 levels, reflecting a drop of 58 percent for Latinos, 48 percent for Asians, 45 percent for African Americans but only 21 percent for whites.
• For most African Americans and Latinos, checking accounts are their only liquid asset.
• African Americans (38 percent) and Latinos (35 percent) are over twice as likely as whites (13 percent) to hold no financial assets at all and to have no or negative net worth.
This analysis provides new insight into the close interplay between race and place as it relates to America's persistent wealth gap. To address these issues, the report calls for Congress and the Administration to ensure that future mortgage settlements include the collection of racial/ethnic, gender, geographical and other demographic data to ensure that relief programs are transparent, fair, and target the hardest-hit communities. The report also calls for the Federal Housing Finance Agency to allow Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to perform principal reduction and loan modifications for distressed homeowners.
This report is part of the Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative, which seeks to build awareness and support for efforts to address racial and ethnic wealth inequalities based on structural factors.
Just Say Yes- Bernard Schwartz Autobiography and Vision for America
- Details
- Published on Friday, May 23, 2014
Bernard L. Schwartz - an investor, a retired industrialist, a progressive public policy advocate and a philanthropist - recently published his autobiography, 'JUST SAY YES: What I've Learned About Life, Luck, and the Pursuit of Opportunity.'
JUST SAY YES is a story about a boy raised in Depression-era Brooklyn who grew up to become a giant in the aerospace business, a confidante of U.S. presidents, and a renowned international deal maker. From this lifetime of experience, Schwartz finds himself increasingly concerned about the future of the United States and its citizens due to the ever-increasing gap between the country's have's and have-not's. "Far too much emphasis is put on money and profit, instead of treating clients and customers as human beings. Our political leaders must also come back to the table, and start working together to improve the lives of all citizens." Without this effort, Schwartz fears that our glory days will remain behind us. As an "optimist by nature," Schwartz believes that American politics and business can change for the better.

Must the Rich Grow Richer? Long-Term Trends in the Capital Share in Income
- Details
- Published on Thursday, May 22, 2014
This week's Worldly Philosopher, Gregor Semieniuk, writes on the theoretical assumptions underlying Thomas Piketty's forecast of a growing share of income going to the rich.
The future share of total income that accrues as return on capital need not keep rising. The New School's Lance Taylor argues that the capital share trajectory rather depends on the assumptions in your model of growth and distribution. Taylor critiques Thomas Piketty who asserts in his celebrated book that the share of national income going to rich capital owners should rise in the 21st century, and may only be reduced by cataclysmic events such as wars or revolutions (Piketty 2014, p. 233). This post summarizes Taylor's argument.

Financial Stress, Sovereign Debt and Economic Activity
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, May 21, 2014
The Journal of International Money and Finance, one of the top journals for international finance, published SCEPA economists Christian R. Proaño, Christian Schoder and Willi Semmler's working paper, 'Financial Stress, Sovereign Debt and Economic Activity in Industrialized Countries: Evidence from Dynamic Threshold Regressions.' This paper is an expansion on their policy note, 'The Role of Financial Stress in Debt and Recovery' which studied the change in the sovereign debt and its impact on economic growth. Their study discovered that national debt was insignificant in determining the level of economic growth a country experiences as long as the financial market was stable. National debt was only detrimental to countries if there were high levels of instability and risk in the financial market. These findings explain why austerity policies have failed to promote economic growth, because economic growth depends first on financial market stability, and is only an issue if financial markets are unstable.
The Unemployment Report: Reported Gains, But Confusing Data
- Details
- Published on Friday, May 02, 2014
by Rick McGahey, SCEPA Faculty Fellow
April's employment report is a strong one on its own terms. The unemployment rate dropped by almost half a percentage point, from 6.7 percent in March to 6.3 percent in April; this is the lowest rate since September 2008, when the economy was plunging into the Great Recession. And payroll employment leapt up by 288,000, the biggest gain since January 2012. So all is good, right?
There's no denying the strength of these numbers, but several factors caution against a full-blown celebration just yet. First, the dramatic drop in the unemployment rate is due not only to job growth, but to continuing declines in the labor force. The measured labor force fell by 806,000 people between the March and April household surveys (the source of the unemployment rate), while that survey actually showed slightly lower total employment in April than in March.
So, based on the household survey alone, the drop in the unemployment rate was almost entirely due to the lower labor force. BLS Commissioner Erica Groshen says their analysis shows the lower seasonally adjusted rate mostly due to "fewer people entering the labor force than usual…" but that still underscores that April's lower unemployment rate is more a function of fewer people looking for jobs than it is of vigorous job creation.
But what about that strong payroll employment number?

A Debate on Mainstream Economics: A Gadget is a Dangerous Thing
- Details
- Published on Friday, May 02, 2014
by Worldly Philosopher Anthony Bonen
Recently, Paul Krugman (here, here and here) has taken a keen interest in a heterodox economist's critique of mainstream economics (and not for the first time). In reponse, Tom Palley has issued solid rejoinders to Krugman and Simon Wren-Lewis. However, I fear the brilliant and (rightfully) esteemed Nobel laureate has missed the key point of heterodox's frustration with marginal productivity theory. So, I follow his call to "continue to debate how we do economics."
A key issue in distribution debates is the fair remuneration of capital and labor. Marginal productivity theory says, very basically, that the real wage and the (real) rate of profit are equal to the marginal increase in production added by the last unit of labor and capital, respectively.
Many economists, Krugman points out, do not believe this to be a cardinal truth of capitalist economies. Rather, he says [my emphasis]:
"there are plenty of economists who are willing to use marginal-product models (as gadgets, not as fundamental truth) who don't at all accept the sanctity of the market distribution of income."
That word – gadget – really stunned me. It sounds benign, innocuous even. Yet marginal product models are no mere "gadget". They are the entrée for modern macroeconomics.

Amy Winehouse Burying The Royal Couple Alive
It's a macabre new ad for a Chilean newspaper. Another one features Steve Jobs burying Julian Assange.
"News Changes Fast"—OK. But why are Kate and Wills being buried by a "dead" story? This is the confusing linchpin of the whole campaign.
That, and terrible Photoshop work. Ad agency: O&M, Chile.
If I didn't know that that was Julian Assange ahead of time (names were included in the press note), would I know that that was Julian Assange?
I don't know. (insert "burying the lede" joke here)
Well since Mubarak is almost dead, this execution makes a tad more sense to me. A tad.

Arduino barebones board upgraded with 32-bit ARM
Re: The title is too long!
I'm sure you know more about this than I do, but I'm struggling to understand how an 89MHz ARM CPU is better suited to realtime operation than a 700MHz ARM CPU. I'm assuming that it's the connectivity (Arduino pin selection vs the Pi GPIO header) that makes the distinction?
There is a difference between embedded and real-time.
A real time system is a system that will guarantee a response within a set time to an event. You don't want commands to a nuke reactor cool down to be delayed a few milliseconds because the linux kernel decides to spend too much time sorting out its memory paging or something. :)
You can get customised versions of the Linux kernel that can be realtime.
But, the arduino would be coded for a specific task, and only that task. You don't expect to run bittorrent in the background. :) Plus, a 89MHz processor would be cheaper than a 700MHz, for a washing-machine control board.

As for the arduino vs pi argument, I definitely agree with the sentiment that they're different tools for different jobs.
Depending on the project, you could use the Pi as the main processor with the arduino (or the leaflabs maple, or even a bare-bones ATmega with arduino bootloader) as an "intelligent" I/O daughter board powered and communicated via the Pi's USB host.

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More

As a fan of Downset, I wasn't really surprised when the band split up in 2009. They claimed that "the band has run it's course". As a fan, I believe that. They definitely had a huge influence on a lot of the bigger nu-metal bands of the 2000s. Certainly, anyone that heard releases like DO WE SPEAK A DEAD LANGUAGE knew the band was onto something good. There were a small number of bands that had a minute, but ultimately didn't last though. Downset was clearly one of them. To be honest, as a fan, I think I was OK with them ending the band when they did. Their last release, UNIVERSAL, was completely unmemorable, and most of the bands of the time had developed the sound far past the Biohazard-influenced material they had always showcased.
Listening to ONE BLOOD, I almost wish they would have stayed retired. This is not to say that ONE BLOOD is bad. It's OK. But as a comeback release from a band that only had a niche following in the first place, it's just not good enough to warrant a return. Listening to songs like "It's Your World", you realize that this material is fairly bland and uninspired. Vocalist Rey Oropeza barks out commands as he did in the old days, but he just lacks a lot of impact. Songs like "Why Can't We Wait" sound very forced and somewhat incomplete. This, again, is not to say it's a bad release. Guitarist Ares is a solid player who creates monstrous hardcore riffs throughout. His nasty tone on songs like "Champion" and "Without" quite literally carry those songs and most of the other material. The rhythm section of James Morris (bass) and Chris Hamilton (drums) certainly know how to backend a hardcore tune. In short, there's nothing truly bad here. There's just not much memorable either.
PITRIFF RATING - 60/100 - Again, no hate of this here, but no real love for it either. It's missing that heart and soul that powered their early releases. As a hardcore fan, I respect what these guys did in the day. As someone that appreciated nu-metal, their influence was clearly undeniable on the Linkin Parks of the world. But as a comeback release, this one just falls very flat.

MILTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Blenko Glass' limited-edition vase commemorating West Virginia's 150th anniversary doesn't go on sale until Saturday.
But Blenko fans already are lining up to buy the 11-inch tall vases.
The Herald-Dispatch reports that early-arriving fans have set up tents outside the glassmaker's headquarters and visitor center in Milton.
Blenko made 150 of the light blue vases. The vases have hearts stamped on two sides. One represents the past and the other the future.
The West Virginia University Foundation said Thursday that Blenko donated one vase to WVU's art collection. Blenko has given its annual West Virginia birthday piece to WVU since 1980.
Blenko has been making hand-blown glass products since 1893.
