Extractions: I went to college planning to study international relations, and although I did get a joint major with international studies, I graduated as an urban geographer focusing on North American cities. How did that happen? I took a class, in German, on "European Cities" and I realized that cities were what I really enjoy, experientially, and intellectually. Geography provided a vocabulary and a framework for understanding, for example, why some cities are dense and walkable, and others completely auto-oriented, or why elites in Europe mostly live close to downtown, while in North America upper income areas are more frequently in the suburbs. Furthermore, urban geography provides a means to confront and examine inequality and operations of power. Geography was also a way for me to make sense of my own background, and place identity, which was (and to some extent, remains) rooted in nine years (including most of high school) in Toronto, Canada.

Extractions: Do geography and industry influence wages for computer occupations? The 2000 Minnesota Salary Survey can be used as a resource to investigate this question. To get some idea of the part geography can play in determining wages for computer personnel, this article analyzes three representative occupations in the Twin Cities seven-county area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Scott, Ramsey, and Washington counties) and in the "Balance of the State" (all counties outside of this seven-county area). In order to ensure that wage differences are not just a result of sampling procedures, the statistical significance for each of the mean (average) wages is calculated.

Extractions: Guest Column by GeoT Dateline: 07/05/00 We live in several "ages" at the moment the Space Age, the Nuclear Age, even the Age of Cyberspace but there is one age that began thousands of years ago that remains with us and that is the Iron Age Even in the 21st century there is no practical way for us to live without products made of iron and its close relative steel. Oh, aluminum has made major advances in product use but iron is by far the mainstay for many things. Engine blocks, structural steel, steel for rail equipment, ships, barges, bridges, car bodies and appliances even the case of my computer tower is made of steel! One auto manufacturer is touting the safety of one its steel bodied cars over that of a fiberglass roadster. The Iron Age is believed to have begun between 1900 to 1400 BCE in western Asia. People began smelting iron to make the items they desired at first, mostly ornaments and ceremonial weapons. The oldest known artifact of hammered iron is a dagger found in Egypt, it is dated at approximately 1350 BCE. Its origin is believed to be what is now Syria or southeastern Turkey the Hittite world. Items made of iron were much stronger than those made of copper and bronze though those metals had their "ages" too. With the fall of the Hittites, the knowledge of iron working spread to other areas, including Europe.
