Where would I find detailed information about trends in the aero space industry in the southbay. specifically Jane Harman's current congressional district. Such as how many jobs are there now? Is the number declining or rising? What Green jobs are available in the area specifically, and also in the broader los angeles area? Also about Van Jones, and his efforts to get momentum to create green jobs through the Obama administration.

I work for American Friends Service Committee in Atlanta. We have recently become aware of a program called "Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange(GILEE
0". We know that they send Atlanta Police cadets to Israel for training. We know that Atlanta police spend some time on illigal settlements to learn crowd control techniques.
We are trying to find out how GILEE gets it's funding.
We know that some of the money comes from the "Marcus Foundation" and we think some may come from, "Georgia State Unniversity" or at least the program gets free space for GSU.
We are also wondering who pays "Robert Friedmann" who is the director and founder of the program. We know he get's some money from GSU but we are not sure of the extent of the GUS/GILEE connection.

Any infromation about GILEE of Mr. Friedmann would be greatly appreciated.

Where would I find information* about the life and beliefs of Pearl Johnson, who is probably best-known as the lover of anarchist Benjamin Tucker?

**By information, I mean anything other than the fact that she was 25 years his junior and was pregnant with their daughter, Oriole Tucker when a fire destroyed his printing equipment.

Does anyone know of any popular writing that explains the concept of information poverty?

It seems like a powerful idea and way of speaking, but insofar as I can tell, doesn't seem to really escaped academia. Hooray for library scientists! I am mainly looking for a concise definition...thanks for all your help!
