Thanks for another informative site. Where else could I get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I’ve a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
I’ve been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours as of late, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty value sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
MYL: Thanks for the effort. Apparently, my lying ears didn’t deceive me this time. The next question I would have (and I am not asking you to research it) is, has this influenced speech of the general public?
Everybody seems very enthused with getting students to complete the census, but looking at the questions, there is going to be alot of confusing or double counting, because there is no specific definition of how much time is “usual” or “normal” for the parents to decipher. Even IRS has a 6 month rule for dependents living in the home. If the student is part time, or goes every other semester, it very well could be that they fill out a census and the parents should count them. How does the census purpose to cross match so their isnt double counting?
Probably most important, is where do college students vote? Redistricting was the original and still major purpose of the census. If all the states havent changed voting rules for college students, then the PARENTS should count their kids, as it most probably could be either where they are registered or would go home to vote.
Second, as stated by this report, the census is primarily used to distribute taxpayer funds, to shools, hospitals etc. Shouldnt the count be the most accurate for the area the parents or biggest taxpayers live? This is particulary important for all the racial and ethnic groups that are given English speaking grants to lower elementary schools, grants to hospitals and universities in the taxpayers home district, with voters and taxpayers in the University towns distributed based on the permanent taxpayers and voters in the University area?
So, a definition for everyone (student and parent) alike, saying “if you work and/or live over 6 months of the year at your temporary address (maybe a year depending upon voter residency requirements) fill out the census as a individual and parents do not claim child who lives/works in another area over 6 months (1)of the year.
Usually a test or form starts with the “intent” of the form and what it will be used for, before forming the questions or who it will be distributed to and instructions. Without specifically addressing the purpose of the census, it appears there is just as much reason to anticipate OVERCOUNT, as worry abut UNDERCOUNT. By counting all college kids that legally can’t vote in their college town, even with motor voter law, redistricting could actually give more representatives to a small college town than registered voters or stable population requires. The same with poor metro areas where parents of kids who only come home for holidays or to “crash” occasionally, count all the visitors and semi permanent relatives as “some of the time” or “most of the time” residents. Either one, could and does give a unequal and imbalanced count for the purpose of vote and distribution of tax dollars. It could also, and does, give a big imbalance to racial/all english speaking households and ethnic households or minority counts that are used in numerous other grants, advertising, percentage of medicaid and low income assumptions or stats etc.
Very definitely college kids should be counted, but statistically only in the area where they vote and work/pay taxes, the majority of the year. This census or web site does not appear to have solved the problem and may have made this census even more inaccurate without more specific instructions to parents and eligible voters on campus or with rotating addresses.
This actually came up in several of the Cities with College kids and ACorn registering to vote and voting, aganst the voter laws in the several States. I belive even the Civil Rights Act, is influenced for redistricting purposes, by the ethnicty and racial breakdown obtained by the Census. If so, the number of minority college students counted as permanent residents, could conceivable influence the redistricting and represention, in a minority/majority town or state, neighborhood or geographical area.
If the Census Bureau has accounted for this or has better explanations and instructions, than shown in example on this site, then congratulations. But if this is it as specific example of the instructions, I question the accuracy or method of adjusting for the errors that are bound to get worse, not better, in 2010.
Please clarify if I have items under the same schedule B “D” valued at $1500 and “F” valued at $3000, must they both be reported in the AES record or only the “F” which is valued over $2500?
when will the race/ethnicity counts, based on the 2010 census, be released? would i be able to generate a thematic map based on the data selected? thanks.
Never had a problem reading this sort of article. You just don’t regret the time spent! Cheers bro, another website I have to bookmark!

Some really nice and utilitarian info on this website, likewise I think the pattern contains excellent features.

To be healthy and have a fast metabolic rate you need to eat every 3 hours. So that is up to 6 small meals a day rather than two or three.
