Milwaukee leads in percentage growth of college graduates

…And, college educated people in their 20s and 30s are moving to cities. From 2006 to 2011, major metro areas grew their college populations 17 percent. Milwaukee, according to this story, grew 45.3 percent. This makes it a leader, behind only San Antonio. Sure, you can argue we had further to grow. But, growth is growth…

A favorite Milwaukee artist posts an image called “Data” … I can’t resist re-blogging. Although the data do look rather boring.

This is a gallery of snowflake images captured in freefall at Alta Ski Area using the University of Utah MASC(Multi Angle Snowflake Camera). When it is snowing, images of snowflakes captured live in free fall can be found at Alta’s Snowflake Showcase. Images are taken at f/5.6 with an exposure of up to 1/40,000th of a second using 1.2MP and 5MP industrial cameras with lenses ranging from 12 mm to 35 mm. The image resolution ranges from 9 micrometers to 40 micrometers.

[O]nce your data exists, it is in the system, and the people who control the system can see it. No matter what they say, how much they protest that privacy controls are in place, or how senior their security executive is, your data is visible to someone.

Take that … and that!
Dear Milwaukee,
We, like many parts of America, are plagued by gun violence. This week, the loss of one young man’s life is again too much to bear. But let’s remember this: there is hope. Despite this tragedy, crime has fallen dramatically in and around Milwaukee’s Washington Park. It has done so at a faster rate than the surrounding neighborhood and the city as whole. The very tangible difference that organizations like the Urban Ecology Center and Habitat for Humanity have made in the lives of Washington Park neighborhood residents should be celebrated.
The thoughts and prayers of so many of us are with the family of Daniel J. Garder, who died in Washington Park this week.
