JG: Scroll bars are important. IJ: This is in the definition of "viewport". I don't think this needs to be a UA Guidelines requirement since it affects all users. Resolved: No need to include a "scrollbar note" since it's in the definition of viewport. Proposed: One goal of 2.1 is to make equivalent alternatives readily available in the same view. AG: Does this cause us to exceed the scope of Guideline 2? The proper composition of views gets into presentation, whereas G2 is just about exposure (you have to get to it). IJ: I see no problem with moving it to another checkpoint. AG: You might want to organize the objective of "staying close to the author's view" in another checkpoint. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000AprJun/0269.html /* Discussion of view as a "take on the data" (e.g., table of contents view) */ AG: The term "view" in the database community means something different: checklist of what's presented. Resolved: Split 2.1 into: 1) Ensure that the user has access to all content. 2) Make equivalent alternatives readily available in the same view. IJ: 'The term view is used in this document to describe the purpose of a particular rendering (e.g., "outline view", "table of contents view", "links view").' AG: The user agent must support permutations of an object ('equivalents') within the same view. AG: I think the objectives are valid, but may need to go somewhere outside of G2. Proposed: Provide synchronized views of content. (In the sense of coordinated but different views of the same content.) JG: Should this be a checkpoint to make it easier to find information in views? Or just a technique? IJ: 1) If you have synchronized views, you are supposing at least two views. What are those views? MN: Most browsers already provide at least one view. GR: It's important that synchronization is important if you provide an outline view. GR: Issue of different levels of detail in views and how those are coordinated. JG: Both Amaya and Jaws offer synchronized views. JG: Are synchronized views important for accessibility? GR: Yes. DA: Yes, but P2. DP: Yes, at least P2. E.g., from a link list, you need to be able to find out where the link occurs on the page. MN: I can see accessibility issues, but not sure this requirement part of G2. JG: Maybe part of the orientation guideline. KB: Without having views synchronized, the value of the additional view might be substantially lowered. IJ: I think this a new requirement and would pretty much guarantee that we will have to go back to last call. KB: (to GR) What additional functionality would this requirement offer that's not covered in other checkpoints? GR: What's missing is that there's no explicit requirement that alternative views be synchronized with an original view. I think it's also related to point of regard. IJ: We also need to consider the impact of how focus is controlled among synchronized views. JG: How crucial is this requirement for UAAG 1.0? Can it wait? /* IJ forwards that a last call means we might get to Rec at the beginning of September */ Resolved: - Add a checkpoint to G8 requiring synchronized views when more than one. - Review this change alongside other changes to the document. - Evaluate later whether this is the make-or-break checkpoint for advancing quickly; decide then whether to keep it. JG: We might also consider highlighting this as part of 8.6, then making a more general requirement in another version. Proposed: Add access to only the attributes of a selected element. JG: I withdraw this proposal since I've not heard much support for it. AG: I think this is a useful technique, though. Action IJ: Add this as a technique. IJ: By the way, how have we resolved the original question about a source view? AG: Move all discussion of source view and property inspection to techniques discussion in the guidelines document. This section should say the following things: - Property inspection is expected to be significantly more usable than source view for many properties. - Source view may be the most usable readily-achievable view for some content such as embedded fragments of style and script languages. (quoted from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000AprJun/0269.html) JG: A source view is part of a solution, but is not a solution in itself. Resolved: A source view is part of a solution for providing access to content, but is not a sufficient solution on its own. IJ: The question from the start, to me, was "how much content has to be made available through the primary view"? How have we answered that? IJ: I've heard us answer "we draw the line at alt content" in the primary view. And the rest of the content is available through the sum of all views. AG: Yes. Action IJ: Update the document with these resolutions. 4) PR#233: Checkpoint 7.6: What does "structure" mean here? http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#233 AG: I propose that in techniques we move away from headers as containers and towards headers as good starting points. The guideline should be to use what the author gave you as structural clues (even in preference over what the spec says). I think that the DOM as the basis of doc structure is insufficient (due to real-world "mis"-usage). Use what the author gave you. AG: You can even reasonably guess that headers used to change font sizes are still important starting point. AG: User agents should be encouraged to provide navigation among starting points marked up by the user. Headers or structuring elements such as forms and tables. E.g., MAP with a "title" for navbars. IJ: What's the minimal requirement if we ask user agents to do what is not defined in the spec? AG: I'm not suggesting that we should require UAs to follow heuristics. Only to accept that this document will not meet all requirements, and that we have to address repair strategies and possibly consider more in later versions. AG: However, you can do a lot to call out important elements/structures in the techniques document. The HTML spec may not go far enough to highlight what's important for structured navigation. DP: I think Phill has said that you have to remain close to what the markup language spec says. I think we are saying "If a document conforms to WCAG, please render it appropriately." IJ Summarizing: - Minimal requirement is navigation of document structure. (elements). However, you need to add filtering before its useful. - This will not solve all accessibility problems today due to how markup is used in practice that doesn't conform to specs. - We should not try to solve all these problems in this version. AG: Minimal requirement is navigation of document structure. (elements). However, you need to add filtering before its useful. IJ: What about the proposal from last week? "Allow the user to navigate efficiently to significant parts of content."? AG: Yes, I like the idea of including something about some of the goals. AG: Hitting the high spots is only part of structured navigation. Tables is an exception. But in general, the table of contents structure will do: and the definition is recursive (what is important changes as you change contexts, go deeper). /* RS joins */ Proposed: "Allow the user to navigate efficiently to significant parts of content." NOTE: "significant" changes as you navigate. AG: Hit both TOC and table example in the proposal. Action IJ: Propose checkpoint rewording to list. 5) PR#279: Proposal to resolve formal objection to Checkpoint 9.2 http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#279 Refer to RS proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000AprJun/0232.html RS: I wouldn't mind leaving 9.2 as is and stating that to minimally satisfy the requirement, a user agent can prompt for all form submissions. I looked at IE, and based on what they have, it doesn't look difficult to do. IJ: I agree that RS's proposal would satisfy the requirement of 9.2. Resolved: Leave checkpoint as is. Checkpoint satisfied if the user can configure prompts for all form submissions. Action IJ: Modify document accordingly. -- Ian Jacobs (email@example.com) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783Received on Tuesday, 2 May 2000 15:21:35 UTC

Interventional radiology: Potential breakthrough to treat men's enlarged prostate
A new interventional radiology treatment, prostatic artery embolization, may bring hope to men with debilitating symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, say the group of researchers who pioneered its use. The findings were presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 37th Annual Scientific Meeting in San Francisco, Calif.
"Having an enlarged prostate is very common in many men over the age of 50, and these new findings provide hope for those who might not be candidates for transurethral resection of the prostate, or TURPand may allow them to avoid serious complications that sometime result from surgery, such as impotence, retrograde ejaculation and urinary incontinence. This could mean that more men have a chance at getting their lives back," said Francisco Cesar Carnevale, M.D. Ph.D., professor and chief of the interventional radiology section at the Hospital das Clínicas Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of São Paulo in Brazil.
A man's prostate can slowly grow larger with age due to a noncancerous process called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. In many men this enlargement can compress the urethra and cause urination and bladder problems such as dribbling at the end of urinating, an inability to urinate, incomplete emptying of the bladder, incontinence, and having a strong and sudden urge to urinate or a weak urine stream. For these men, symptoms can cause a marked decrease in quality of life, said Carnevale.
"More than a quarter of a million men undergo surgery for an enlarged prostate every year, at an estimated annual costs of over $1 billion per year because current therapies including medication just aren't working for them," commented Ziv J Haskal, M.D., FSIR, one of numerous Society of Interventional Radiology members who traveled to Brazil to learn about the treatment and to begin the process that may bring this treatment to the United States. "I saw firsthand how these men responded to treatment. With the possibility of faster recoveryon an outpatient basisand with no bladder catheters, reduced symptoms, improved urination and fewer potential side effects, prostatic artery embolization could signal a bold new change in accepted prostate therapy," added Haskal, a professor of radiology and surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.
"Interventional radiologists have always pioneered the use of minimally invasive treatments for many disease states. Interventional radiologists have used embolization, where a catheter is used to deliver tiny beads to block blood flow to a target area, for many years to treat uterine fibroids, on an outpatient basis, with very few complications. Applying this same principal to the prostate by embolizing or blocking the prostatic arteries, thereby reducing its size and releasing the pressure on the urethra so that a man is then able to void normally, seemed like a natural progression," explained Carnevale.
"This study looked at results from men who suffered with acute urinary retention due to an enlarged prostate and who were treated," noted Carnevale, who indicated that prior to embolization, all had medical treatment and urethral catheters and were waiting for surgery. "After the treatment, we assessed quality of life and evaluated how well the urinary system was working. Clinical success was seen in 91 percent of those treated and technical success was evident in 75 percent of those treated," he added.
Using a tiny one-millimeter diameter microcatheter threaded into the prostate arteries, 12 prostatic artery embolization procedures using resin microspheres as embolizing agents were performed on 11 individuals (ages 59-78 years; average age, 68.5 years) under local anesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound were also used to study the exact anatomy of the prostate.
Carnevale's subjects had follow-up ranging from 16-45 months. At the time of treatment, the men's prostate size ranged from 30-90 grams (the normal male prostate weighs 20-25 grams); all reported acute urinary retention. Both ultrasound and MRI revealed an overall 30 percent volume reduction in the prostate size at final follow-up. Overall clinical improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms at the one-year mark was observed and corroborated by all patients. All of those treated also reported a high degree of satisfaction and increased quality of life after the treatment.
"Although these preliminary results are very promising for American men, it must be noted that prostate artery embolization is an extremely advanced embolization procedure requiring rigorous training and a detailed knowledge of the prostate anatomy and surrounding vessels," said James B. Spies, M.D., MPH, FSIR, professor and chair of the radiology department at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. "Because interventional radiologists are the leaders in bringing forth new treatments responsibly, I expect there will be considerable additional study, including multicenter clinical trials, that explore the safety, efficacy and durability of this procedure before it will become broadly available in clinical practice. At that stage, the specialty will take the lead on ensuring that practice guidelines are established to ensure appropriate patient care," he added.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Community groups in west Philadelphia are vowing to help police find whoever abducted a 5-year-old girl from her Philadelphia elementary school last month.
The girl was taken out of her classroom at the Bryant School by a woman posing as her mother and officials say school protocol was not followed. The girl was found partially clothed at a playground just outside the city the next day.
Police have said they are looking for three 'persons of interest' in the case.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that (http://bit.ly/YIzhK0) on Thursday a group of community leaders gathered at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church and vowed to help police find whomever is responsible.
Pamela Williams, a pastor and activist, says they will be knocking on doors and passing out leaflets.

Webb's of Monroe,Brown,and Bartholomew counies in IN
I'm stuck on my Webb tree by one gggggrandfather. Know one seems to know were he was born or were he died. His name was Jesse, not sure on his wife. Some say Ann. The children were born in Bartholomew co.,In. My line come's from his son Jesse Franklin. Most of the Monroe co.,In Webb's come from him. The only censes i have seen have a Jesse 1820 or 30 in Fayette co.,In. But the age's and numbers of the children don't match. I also found out latter that Jesse's children's names also don't match. I have some info on these Webb's, alot on Jesse Franklin. If any one has anything to help me please let me know.

The key to consistent and fast honing is repeatability – and this
guide delivers it in spades. Whether you're a sharpening veteran
or just starting out, this versatile guide lets you concentrate on
sharpening without worrying about controlling blade angle at
the same time. This makes your honing reliable, accurate and
consistent. Three options let you choose the honing guide that
best suits your work style and shop needs.
A. Veritas® Mk.II Deluxe Honing
Guide Set
The most versatile set, the deluxe honing guide set includes both
the standard and narrow-blade clamping heads as well as the
angle registration jig, a straight roller base and a camber roller
base. Combined, the two clamping heads accept blades ranging
from 1/8" to 2-7/8" wide. The completely predictable results this
set offers for a wide variety of blades makes it useful in the shop
of any woodworker who works with hand tools.
The standard head uses a clamping bar that registers on the face
of the blade. It accepts flat and tapered blades between 1/2" and
2-7/8" wide and up to 15/32" thick, including skew blades. It hones
bevel angles from 15° to 54° and back bevels from 10° to 20°.
The narrow-blade head clamps blades from the sides with
parallel jaws to ensure they stay square to the jig. The jaws are
also canted to keep blades centered and tight to the reference
face of the jig, whether they have bevelled or square edges – it
will even hold chisels that are triangular in cross section. It
accepts blades from 1/8" to 1-1/2" wide, holding bevel-edged
chisels up to 15/32" thick and square-edged blades up to 11/32"
thick. It hones bevel angles from 15° to 40° and back bevels
from 10° to 20°.
The interchangeable rollers attach to the clamping heads with a
single thumbscrew. The eccentric axle mount lets you add a
micro-bevel to any angle setting with a simple turn of a knob.
The straight roller hones straight edges. At 2" wide, it provides a
stable base for even the narrowest of blades. The barrel-shaped camber roller lets you rock the guide slightly to hone a slight
curve or camber into a blade edge, eliminating blade tracks
when planing.
The optional Veritas Skew Registration
Jig locks into the Mk.II honing guide to make quick work of setting
both skew and bevel angles (left- or right-hand) of chisel and plane
The jig's machined aluminum base provides skew angle markings
that are laser etched for accuracy and legibility. The skew angle
graduations cover the range of 10° to 45° in 5° increments,
and there are additional marks (18°, 22°, 28°) to cover
the angles of popular skew plane blades.
The base has four distinct tracks providing four bevel angle settings:
20°, 25°, 30°, and 35°. (The honing guide's eccentric roller
allows variation from these angles for creating a micro-bevel.) The unique
sliding fence with blade stop allows you to match an existing skew angle
visually – even if it is non-standard.
Made in Canada. Patented.

HBO's 'Girls' starting to get their act together
Earlier this week, my sister asked me to give her the gist of "Girls." I dashed off a quick email, copied and pasted below:
"Girls is like a more crunchy version of 'Sex and the City' where the girls are younger and poorer. The first time I heard them talk I totally flashed back to being 24."
That's an unfair comparison to both shows, of course. "Sex and the City" was designed as escapism, and "Girls" wouldn't exist if the economy hadn't tanked. HBO's Emmy-winning wry comedy does have four female friends living in New York City with wildly disparate views on sex and love, but the similarities don't exactly pile up after that.
If anything, series creator Lena Dunham brings to life an anti-Carrie Bradshaw, though Hannah Horvath is also a writer with an oddball wardrobe.
You simply would not catch Sarah Jessica Parker sitting in bed and cutting her hair with blunt kitchen shears in front of a YouTube video. Even when Hannah puts on the most flattering of her ill-fitting print dresses, her forehead is still shiny.
"Girls" had a 10-episode opening season that redefined what could be accomplished in a half-hour show. Its four shockingly relatable friends are trapped in a slow-motion, post-college reality check: Unpaid internships to nowhere, friends with benefits minus the friendship, petty roommate annoyances that mushroom.
At the end of last season, best friends Marnie (Allison Williams) and Hannah decided not to live together anymore. Hannah's raw-edged, unhinged boyfriend Adam ("Lincoln's" Adam Driver, equal parts magnetic and disgusting here) was hit by a truck after an epic sidewalk fight in which Driver forever endeared himself to me by shrieking, "You chase me like I'm the Beatles for six months, then I get comfortable and you shrug?"
Adam resurfaces in a thigh-high cast, just what he needs to justify more over-the-top petulance. Taking his frightening emotionality to a new level, he can always be counted on to do or say something awful very soon. When Hannah points out his jackass tendencies, he explains, "When you love someone, you don't have to be nice all the time." Dear God, woman, run.
To her credit, Hannah has stiffened her spine a bit, partly because she wants more time to spend with her new boyfriend Sandy (Donald Glover of "Community").
Take a tip from Hannah: A good way to seduce a Republican is to knock on his door late at night and ask to borrow his copy of "The Fountainhead."
Of course there's a disastrous end coming for this pairing, but it's not the worst decision Hannah makes in this season's opening episodes. She's still sleeping with men for "the experience," and the show might take some heat for all the coke that gets consumed with no after-school-special lesson attached.
Dunham, who also writes and directs episodes, took a lot of cheap shots for showing her average body in the first season, most from male critics who seemed to feel that they should be able to control which actresses get naked. Dunham obviously couldn't care less. If anything, she's taunting her detractors, stripping down more often, devoid of self-consciousness.
The nudity, drug use and frank bedroom scenes are just one reason "Girls" doesn't feel like any other show on TV right now, even those sharing demographic territory. Fellow deadpan Brooklynites the "2 Broke Girls" are making fancy cupcakes and sleeping with their lipstick on over at CBS.
Cece and Jess are funny and edgy at a manic pace on "New Girl," but their conflicts exist to titillate dudes on couches, like the breast-slapping scene last October. Elsewhere on Fox, snappy dialogue brings "The Mindy Project" closer, but it steers clear of true drama, something "Girls" relishes.
But if "Girls" is stripped of most pretense, not all of its heroines are. Aggressively free-spirited Jessa (Jemima Kirke), the crunchiest girl by far, married an entitled financier on a whim the last time we saw her. She returns from the honeymoon in a cloud of patchouli, and gets right back to dispensing her patented blend of self-congratulation, cynical politics and actual advice.
"Just read the newspaper," she instructs Hannah as the two play with a pile of soon-to-be-returned puppies. "Just read one newspaper."
But despite her self-assured gliding about in loosely knitted tops, Jessa doesn't settle easily into life as Mrs. Thomas-John. Her behavior at a family dinner provokes a lot more response than that time she spilled wine on his carpet. "Girls" never convinced me that Jessa cared a whit for this uptight twit, which means she has gold-digger tendencies or borderline personality disorder.
At the other end of the risk-taking spectrum, newly unemployed Marnie is turning her anxieties inward, increasingly fretful and not eating enough. Her issues with food come out at a that-explains-a-lot lunch with her mom (Rita Wilson being deliciously awful).
Marnie is so lost without Hannah, her job and longtime boyfriend Charlie that she manages to sleep with the last person on Earth she should. She's also miserably discovering that when you break up with someone after your social lives have entwined, that person doesn't just go away. Charlie insists on bringing around his rebound fling Audrey, who oozes nastiness. The only thing Audrey likes better than gaudy hair accessories is storming out of parties in a snit.
"So," Marnie asks her in a friend's living room, swilling booze with a straight face, "where do you get your headbands?"
That's just the precursor to a dinner party so cringe-worthy, it rivals last summer's painful mealtime on "Breaking Bad."
"Girls" can be hilarious, but the funny jabs come as part of its characters' painful struggle to redefine their friendships after college.
Hannah's circle, despite everyone's social media and texting addictions, are rarely truly honest with one another unless they're angry. With so many ways to communicate, no one has the courage to speak up.
Except, of course, Shoshanna.
Zosia Mamet continues to be a revelation as the painfully earnest, stunningly blunt and totally lovable anti-hipster of the group. This season, she retains her little-girl dresses, fascinators and facepalm-inducing slang ("Totes!") but her confidence continues to build, even though she can't quite find her footing with the first man she's ever slept with.
"Girls" peels away the layers of its leading men, but with one exception, they reveal themselves as the same flawed specimens you thought they were in the first place. Ray (Alex Karpovsky), who recently deflowered Shoshanna, is the exception. Karpovsky was a scene-stealer in Season 1, and he gets more play now as Shoshanna's conflicted love interest and as the group's elder statesman of cynicism at 33.
The other guys on "Girls," all totally unacceptable in different ways, are part of the women's self-perpetuating cycles of denial. Charlie, Adam, Sandy and Thomas-John aren't causing the girls' upheaval and uncertainty. They're just another symptom.
Hannah is gradually growing up, but she still has her insecurities, an inability to take real risks in her writing and a fear of success. Dunham, it would appear, does not.
Where to watch
Season 2 of "Girls" premieres at 8 Sunday night on HBO. Season 1 is available on DVD, OnDemand and through digital download on iTunes and gaming networks.

Textron subsidiaries Bell Helicopter and AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems have started construction on a Manned Unmanned Operations (MUMO) capability development laboratory in Huntsville, Ala. The R&D facility will allow testing of software and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) using systems specific to manned-unmanned teaming. According to Bell, the laboratory will support the U.S. Army's UAS roadmap, including "exploratory concepts and technology demonstrations," in addition to providing an manned-unmanned simulation environment to support individual operator needs. The MUMO complex is located next to the Shadow Tactical UAS HWIL system integration lab (SIL). The area will also serve as an expansion site for the Kiowa Warrior OH-58D baseline simulation facility. Bell/AAI plans to open the MUMO lab in late 2012.

Anderson, Margaret C. (editor)
Chicago/New York: Margaret C. Anderson, 1914 / 1922
Founded by Margaret Anderson in March 1914, The Little Review became, over the course of its 15-year existence, one of the chief periodicals in the English-speaking world for publishing experimental writing and publicizing international art. The American magazine is famous today for its many bold gestures on behalf of the avant-garde—like its September 1916 issue, which protested the lack of acceptable material by leaving most of its pages blank, or the motto it subsequently appended to its title, "Making No Compromise with the Public Taste." The Little Review is also remembered for its multiple, cacophonous interests—according to Anderson, the magazine managed all told to represent 23 schools of art from 19 countries in its pages. Embracing tumultuous change first-hand, Anderson began editing The Little Review in Chicago, then moved the paper to New York in 1917 (after a short stint in San Francisco the year before), and later moved it overseas to Paris after 1922. Along the way, she was joined, in 1916, by Jane Heap, as co-editor, and then—heralding a new phase of the magazine—by Ezra Pound, as foreign editor, in 1917. During its first three years, The Little Review was largely an anarchist publication that battled on behalf of imagism and published such writers as Richard Aldington, Sherwood Anderson, Maxwell Bodenheim, Ben Hecht, and Amy Lowell. Under Pound's influence, the magazine experienced a fresh infusion of international experimentalism and added contributions by the likes of Djuna Barnes, T. S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, Mina Loy, Francis Picabia, Dorothy Richardson, May Sinclair, Gertrude Stein, W. C. Williams, and W. B. Yeats. But even among this talented field, The Little Review's most lasting (and boldest) achievement was its serialization of Joyce's Ulysses, in 23 installments, from 1918 to 1920—until the Society for the Suppression of Vice charged the magazine with obscenity and Anderson and Heap, losing the court trial, were forced to discontinue the novel amid the "Oxen of the Sun" episode.

Annie G. Fox served in the Army Nurse Corps during World War II. 1st Lt. Fox worked at Hickam Field, Oahu, Hawaii, and was on duty the morning of December 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. She served her country that day by tending to the soldiers and sailors who were hurt in the bombings. For her service at Pearl Harbor, she received the Purple Heart, the first woman awarded this honor. While the Purple Heart is usually given to soldiers injured in battle, this custom did not begin until later in World War II. Initially, when it was established by George Washington, the Purple Heart awarded any "singularly meritorious act of extraordinary fidelity or essential service." Lt. Fox's service during Pearl Harbor, met this criteria, and thus she was awarded this great honor. The fact that she was a woman illustrates the changes in women's roles that occurred during World War II. That war forever changed how women were viewed and valued in society and the military.

It has been 10 years since the G8 first identified illegal logging as an issue of concern. Since then, international momentum on illegal logging and trade has shifted from the G8 to sub-regional and regional Forest Law Enforcement and Governance ministerial conference processes and to national and bilateral level action at both the producer and consumer country level.
Positive steps have been taken in many consumer countries to eliminate illegal timber from their supply chains and a growing number of producer countries are committing to voluntary partnership agreements with the European Union to stop imports of illegally logged timber into the European Union.
In addition, local civil society in many producing countries plays a critical role by working with government and industry to shape home-grown solutions to combat illegal logging. It is within this encouraging framework that the World Conservation Union (IUCN) has, over the past few years, focused its contribution to combating illegal logging at the national level in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
The establishment of "tripartite" multi-stakeholder platforms to facilitate solution-orientated dialogue is perhaps the best known element of IUCN's efforts to curb illegal logging, as it really works. For example, on 30 May, 2007, the Brazilian Senate voted and ratified a bill amending the National Procurement Act. For the first time, an article was included requiring proof of the legality of wood sources used in public construction and infrastructure projects.
This successful result followed initiatives promoted jointly by IUCN, Greenpeace and WWF, in collaboration with Senators Sibá Machado and Tião Vianna from the state of Acre, Brazil, building on successful collaboration between these organizations, small forest owners, timber trading companies and different levels of governments to provide people in the state of Acre with economic opportunities from the marketing and trading of their forest products certified as coming from legal sources.
The G8 has an important role to play in supporting these nationally-based forest sector reform processes and it is for this reason that IUCN is encouraging the Heiligendamm meeting to consider initiating a review of national and international action to combat illegal logging and to report back with the recommended actions at the G8 2008 summit in Hokkaido, Japan.

LA CRESCENTA — While there was no official theme for Saturday evening's sixth annual Crescenta Valley High Athletic Hall of Fame Induction ceremony at the school's auditorium, perhaps excellence would fit the billing best.
The 2013 class included nine individual entrants in Bill Boyd, Jeff Fox, Tara Gregory, Mary Ellen Jenkins, Jim Jordan, Heather Lindstrom, Al Staie, William Thomas and Chris Troffer, along with one team entry, which was the 1971 boys' basketball squad.
Perhaps the evening belonged to Boyd, who was dually honored for his personal exploits and for being the leader of the 1971 boys' basketball team.
Boyd, a transfer from Anaheim Foothill High, retired as the CIF Southern Section's all-time leading scorer (2,144 points), while being named the team's most valuable player along with being honored as an All-CIF and All-American award winner.
"As I stand up here with my teammates, I have the opportunity to tell them now what I didn't earlier, which is to say just how special they are and how much I cherished our time," said Boyd at the ceremony after he surprised the crowd by pulling out his phone and taking a photo of the audience. "The Crescenta Valley community welcomed me and I enjoyed being a part of this team."
Boyd was the leading scorer on a squad that finished the regular season 25-0, defeated four postseason opponents by an average margin of 21 points before falling to national No. 2-ranked Verbum Dei, 51-42, in front of 11,000 spectators at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.
"That was the greatest Crescenta Valley basketball team of all time and I've seen them all," said former Falcons Coach John Goffredo, who spoke before Boyd and who guided Crescenta Valley to its only other title-game appearance in 1994.
Along with Boyd, the entire team, assistant coaches Bruce Williams and Mike Joseph and head coach Ed Goorjian were all honored. The majority of the team was not present, although five former players were in attendance, including Bob Trowbridge and Don Chase.
Perhaps in perfect comedic timing, former football standout Fox, who was a Big Eight first-team selection at Kansas, followed the Crescenta Valley basketball team in getting his acclaim.
"I'm not sure if it's a Kansas thing, but I'm always following the basketball team for some reason," said Fox, who drew laughter for a story told by former Falcons Coach Dennis Gossard about Fox knocking out Washington Redskins running back John Riggins after practice in Kansas.
While Fox and Boyd expected to be elected into the hall of fame, the news came as a surprise to former girls' basketball and track and field star Gregory.
"I honestly was surprised to find out I was with such a great class," said Gregory, who later starred at Vanderbilt University. "I don't know if I deserve to be here."
One of the more emotional thank yous came from famed swimmer Jenkins, who talked about the excitement of racing against Olympian Janet Evans and then tearfully thanked her mother, Mary, who "deserved to be in the mother's Hall of Fame," according to Jenkins.
An unexpected moment came at the beginning of the ceremony, when Thomas, the school's first principal when it opened in 1960, was honored.
What was surprising is that all seven Crescenta Valley High principals, from Thomas to current leader Michelle Doll, were all in attendance and took a group picture.
Thomas said he wasn't exactly sure if he deserved an athletic honor and quipped the hall of fame was now tainted for allowing his entry "as an athletic supporter."

Wasteland Survival Guide - Part 6
- Place the observer in a spawning pod in the Anchorage War Memorial.
- (Optional) Do not kill any Mirelurks in the Anchorage War Memorial.
- Return to Moira.
Observe the Mirelurks[edit]
What now? Well upon speaking to Moira again, you'll find that there's only one more portion of chapter two to finish, and that has to do with Mirelurks down at the Anchorage War Memorial. There's good news, though, and that news is that this is an extremely short and easy outing. Moira will tell you that creatures called Mirelurks really interest her, and she wants you to go investigate the scene and see what you can find about them down at Anchorage War Memorial. You've almost certainly been there already (especially if you're doing the chapter sections in the order we are), so you can instantaneously travel there with your Pip-Boy. If for some strange reason you haven't yet been there and therefore can't instantly teleport yourself there, the war memorial is essentially due east of Megaton, across the radiation-filled Potomac River. You can use a bridge right near it to cross safely.
When you arrive at the Anchorage War Memorial, you're likely to find Ghouls there, and perhaps some other survivors wandering the wasteland. Leave them alone (why cause trouble when you're on an otherwise-innocuous side quest?) and look around the memorial's base for a collapsed section alongside the water. Carefully walk down into the crumbling section of the memorial and turn around, looking to your left (if your back is facing the memorial). A door into the base's structure will be seen; simply jump up to it and pick the weak lock to get inside.
Once inside, things will happen quickly, but there's really no reason whatsoever to go slowly or quietly here. If things went for you like it did for us, Mirelurk eggs are waiting just ahead and around the bend. Mirelurks themselves are simplistic enemies, but remember that you'll not want to harm them if you want to fulfill Moira's optional request not to kill any of them. Holster your weapon and dodge them as best you can, making sure to stay out of the toxic radiated water as you head forward.
Heading forward, you'll come to a four way intersection. To your right, around the bend, you should find some Mirelurk eggs sitting in the water (continuing down to the end of that corridor will lead to a door you simply can't open right now). Analyze the eggs when you find them (they might not be in this exact location, so keep looking, and you'll find them easily) and choose to place Moira's probe in the eggs. Then, without harming the Mirelurks, dash back to the entrance/exit of the memorial's base and headoutside. Once outside, quickly transport yourself instantaneously back to Megaton and report your findings to Moira to wrap up the second chapter of her three chapter survival guide. We're two-thirds of the way done! But what's waiting for you ahead is more difficult and time-consuming than the tasks we've already performed for her. Oh, and your reward? Three Stealth Boys and a Shady Hat, if you successfully completed both the mandatory and optional objectives.

A young girl fell through the pavement into a sink hole in northern China.
A surveillance camera catches the moment an unsuspecting girl falls through pavement while walking down a street in northern China.
The pavement caved in under the teenager's weight as soon as she stepped onto a section of the walkway.
What followed was a dramatic rescue attempt by a passing taxi driver. His heroic actions were also filmed by close circuit television and on mobile phones.
The passing cab driver stopped immediately at the scene and climbed into the six-metre deep pit to help the girl.
"I called out to her but she didn't respond. After I shook her a little, she came to," said Wang Wei, a taxi driver in the northern city of Xi'an
Wang climbed down to the bottom of the pit clinging to a cable under the pavement.
"The dirt kept showering down on us and the kid couldn't stop crying," he added.
Underground water had eroded the ground under the road and caused a cavity under the pavement.
The ground in the pit continued to shift while the cab driver and the girl were still in it, which made it impossible for them to climb out until firefighters extended a ladder in to help them.
"The ladder kept moving about, it's a little flimsy and the girl kept screaming out of fear. So I told her to go first and I'll be right behind her. Finally we managed to get out," Wang said.
Amateur footage showed the pair emerging from the hole and being pulled to safety with the help of fire fighters and passers-by.

The United States is fast approaching a showdown over its commitment to the rule of international law as Texas prepares to carry out the scheduled Aug. 5 execution of convicted killer and rapist Jose Medellin.
On July 14, the International Court of Justice at The Hague ordered the US government to "take all measures necessary" to prevent the execution of Mr. Medellin and four other Mexican nationals awaiting execution dates on death row in Texas.
But Medellin is in the custody of Texas authorities, not the federal government, and the Texas governor says he intends to push forward with the execution next Tuesday.
Congress could take quick action to defuse the international imbroglio, but legal analysts say intervening in the Medellin case would be politically risky for national lawmakers in an election year.
The case highlights a heated debate over the relevance of international legal rulings in the American justice system. It is a flash point in an ongoing rivalry pitting American law against international law, and the controversy is playing out in an emotional case involving race, rape, murder, and capital punishment Texas-style.
"We don't really care where you are from; if you commit a heinous and despicable crime you are going to face the ultimate penalty under our laws," says Allison Castle, a spokeswoman for Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R). "No foreign national is going to receive any additional protection than a Texas citizen would."
US dispute with Mexico
The Medellin case is at the center of a long-running dispute between Mexico and the United States over the failure of US officials in the past to notify the Mexican consulate when Mexican citizens are arrested in the US. Such notification is required under an international treaty, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
The US government acknowledged the treaty violations and apologized.
But Mexico wanted more. It took its case to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), also known as the World Court. In 2004, the court sided with Mexico and ordered the US to conduct special hearings in the Medellin case and 50 other cases involving Mexicans sentenced to death in various states.
The World Court ordered the American courts to determine whether the lack of consular notification prejudiced the outcome of any trial. If so, the conviction and death sentence should be overturned, the court said.
Following the ruling, the governor of Oklahoma commuted the death sentence of Mexican national Osvaldo Torres. Mr. Torres is now serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole.
But in neighboring Texas, officials have taken a different stance. The Texas courts ruled in the Medellin case that he is not entitled to a new round of appeals despite the World Court decision.
Medellin has lived in the US since age 3 and speaks fluent English, but because he never obtained US citizenship he was entitled to be notified of his right to consult with Mexican consular officials after his arrest. As part of his original case, a Texas judge ruled that the lack of consular notification in Medellin's case had not undercut the fairness of his trial. But the World Court ordered a new hearing anyway.
In an effort to resolve the international dispute, President Bush issued a memorandum directing the Texas courts to conduct the new hearings. Again, Texas refused.
The issue went to the US Supreme Court, which ruled in March that both the World Court decision and the president's memo were not binding on the Texas courts. That cleared the way for Medellin's execution.
But it didn't absolve the US government from compliance with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and compliance generally with World Court decisions enforcing the convention.
"There is no doubt that the US has an international obligation here, and it sure looks like it won't comply with it," says Duncan Hollis, a professor and international law expert at Temple University's Beasley School of Law.
Notorious in Texas
The Medellin case is notorious in Texas. Medellin admitted involvement in the gang rape and murder of two girls. The girls, ages 14 and 16, took a shortcut home through the woods, where they were spotted by members of a street gang. Medellin and other gang members chased the girls, raped them, and then killed them to prevent them from reporting the crime.
The case is becoming notorious for another reason. It threatens to undercut US standing in the world by suggesting a lack of respect for the ICJ, analysts say.
Some legal experts warn that the government's posture could endanger Americans traveling, living, or working overseas.
"Americans who are detained abroad may well lose the critical protection of ensured access to United States consular officers," wrote Lucy Reed, president of the American Society of International Law (ASIL), in a recent letter to leaders in Congress.
Ms. Reed and nine past presidents of ASIL are urging Congress to quickly pass legislation to create a legal mechanism to enforce the World Court ruling.
A measure was introduced in Congress, but there has been no effort to pass the bill, or even debate it. Analysts say the issue is radioactive in an election year.
"On the one hand this is a story of international law and treaty obligations that bind the United States of America," says Professor Hollis. "On the other hand this is the story of a gangbanger in Texas who raped and killed two teenaged girls."
Hollis adds, "Somebody in Congress may see the value of protecting the treaty obligations and the national interests of the United States and also be concerned about the political fallout for voting for a statute that might be used against them [in an election campaign] because you are perceived as soft on crime."

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has one aspect of his post-mayoral life finally worked out.
Raymond Hernandez of the New York Times reports that Bloomberg, one of the country's most prominent independent politicians, just filed for a brand-new, as-yet-unnamed Super PAC, which he plans to use to dump portions of his fortune into races across the country.
Irrespective of party, Bloomberg is reportedly planning to support candidates who support three of his biggest policy initiatives: same-sex marriage; tougher gun laws; and overhauling schools.
To that end, Hernandez reports that Bloomberg expects to spend between $10 to $15 million on competitive state, local and congressional races this month, including Angus King, the former governor of Maine who is mounting a leading bid for the Senate as an independent, is one identified recipient of the mayor's largesse.
Hernandez reports that the Super PAC will target Democratic Congressman Joe Baca of California, whom Bloomberg considers to be weak on gun control.

The Bosques (boss-keys) have been living their quiet lives well south of the excitement of Ozea and Sangreal, even beyond the long arm of Dreifach, the provincial capital of the Satrap of Falhath. Named after the lazy and meandering Bosque River, they are a quiet agrarian folk. Most Imperial records list the Bosques as having settled the southern peninsula nearly 1400 years ago. For the most part the records indicate that they were political and religious dissidents who were upset by the excesses of the Old World.
They gained several charters and settled along the southern part of the region and settled into a number of loosely joined communes. When the Nightmare War washed across the country, almost none of it was felt in the Bosque region. There were no supplemental sorceries to fail, and no magical items to detonate from geomantic feedback. Life continued as it had for them, with hard work and the harvest.
The Bosques are firm believers in the evil of magic, and the corruption that it engenders in those who use and benefit from it. To that end, it is considered taboo to even talk about magic or say the word magic in polite company. Some more pious women might even swoon at the mention of the word, while the menfolk might become a little hostile. It was this lack of magic that engendered Baron Holmestead of Buzzard\'s Bay to invade the region. The Militias of the Bay were unprepared for the stoic discipline of the Bosques, and after six months, Holmestead was forced to retreat with heavy losses.
The average Bosque is human with no outside, non-human heritage. They tend towards medium to olive skin tones, dakr hair, and tend to have rather hairy arms and legs. Bosque women are vivacious and friendly, though as they age, they have problems with unpleasant facial hair. The term Old Goat applies to both men and women with this affliction.
Special Equipment
The Bosque are known for their abhorrence of magic, and when they find magic items they tend to find ways to eliminate them, or destroy them. Some adventurers have come to raid the secret loot of the Bosque Valley, but are sorely dissappointed when they find there is none. Most Bosque wares are of good quality, and Bosque steel is of excellent quality as the smiths refuse to cut corners or shave supplies to save on cost.
Roleplaying Notes
The Bosque temperament is generally a positive one. They spend their leisure time fishing the Bosque River, hunting for red deer, and drinking healthy amounts of wine. There is very little ale, or beer in the region.

The term "S&M" stands for Sadism and Masochism, and the historical definitions and depictions of S&M are often stereotyped and nonconsensual. The term "SM" stands for sadomasochism, which is a type of sexual orientation or behavior. Many people call it SM to emphasize the need for consent since both behaviors are united in a single word. SM is also sometimes referred as "leather," "Dominance & Submission," "D&S" and "BDSM".
As the language has evolved, the contemporary definitions of sadism and masochism are changing. Sadism no longer implies non-consensuality, nor does it imply violence. It simply means that someone receives erotic gratification from the infliction of psychological or physical stimulation on a consenting partner. Conversely, a masochist is someone who enjoys receiving that psychological or physical stimulation.
We do not know why some people are heterosexual and others are homosexual. We do not know why some people eroticize breasts and others legs. We do not understand how people develop any particular eroticism. We do know that no one has found any characteristic in childhood history, birth order, etc., that is more common among SM practitioners than the general public. Specifically, there is no indication that SM practitioners are more or less likely to have been spanked as children, or to have been the victim of sexual or other abuse as children.
SM is about sensation and stimulation, exchanging power, trusting one's partner, and sharing love and pleasure. Some SM practitioners seek "pain" but they want the sensation administered in a way that is ultimately pleasurable to them.
"Much S&M involves very little pain. Rather, many sadomasochists prefer acts such as verbal humiliation or abuse, cross-dressing, being tied up (bondage), mild spankings where no severe discomfort is involved, and the like. Often, it is the notion of being helpless and subject to the will of another that is sexually titillating... At the very core of sadomasochism is not pain but the idea of control - dominance and submission." (Thomas S. Weinberg and G.W. Kamel (1995). "S&M: An Introduction to the Study of Sadomasochism," S&M: Studies in Dominance and Submission, Prometheus Books, pg. 19.
"The essence of sadomasochism is not so much "pain" as the overwhelming of one's senses - emotionally more than physically. Active sexual masochism has little to do with pain and everything to do with the search for emotional pleasure. When we understand that it is pain only, and not cruelty, that is the essential in this group of manifestations, we begin to come nearer to their explanation. The masochist desires to experience pain, but he generally desires that it should be inflicted in love; the sadist desires to inflict pain, but he desires that it should be felt as love...." (Havelock Ellis, M.D. (1926). Studies of the Psychology of Sex, F.A. Davis Company, pg. 160.)

Aaron St. Clair Nicholson
Aaron St. Clair Nicholson has established himself as an artist of the first rank, winning praise for his superb vocal gifts and the dramatic integrity he brings to his performances. The San Francisco Chronicle exclaimed "…as Ford, baritone Aaron St. Clair Nicholson gave a virtuosic display of vigorous full-throated singing and all out physical comedy." Up next, Aaron performs Escamillo in Carmen with Opera Coeur D'Alene, Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance with Vancouver Opera and the Count in Le nozze di Figaro with Virginia Opera.
Aaron made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Schaunard in La bohèmeconducted by Placido Domingo, and has since performed there as Papageno inDie Zauberflöte, as well as covered the roles of Clyde Griffeths in Tobias Picker's An American Tragedy and Chou en Lai in Nixon in China. Throughout his career, Aaron has garnered much praise for his portrayals as opera's most well-known characters, which include countless performances as Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia, which he sang with Florida Grand Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, L'Opéra de Montréal, Calgary Opera, and Opera Ontario; the title role in Don Giovanni with L'Opéra de Montréal, New York City Opera, and Opera Lyra Ottawa; and Count Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro with Vancouver Opera and Florida Grand Opera.
Having become a house favorite at Florida Grand Opera, Aaron has returned several times to the esteemed company for performances of Papageno in Die Zauberflöte, Frederic in Lakmé, Mercutio in Roméo et Juliette, and in performances of David DiChiera and Bernard Uzan's opera, Cyrano de Bergerac.
Other recent and notable credits include Valentin in Faust, Marcello in La bohème, and the world premiere of Lillian Alling with Vancouver Opera;Papageno in Die Zauberflöte, Tarquinius in The Rape of Lucretia and Harlekin in Ariadne auf Naxos with L'Opéra de Montréal; Mercutio in Roméo et Juliette with Opera Lyra Ottawa and Calgary Opera; Ping in Turandot with Opera Lyra Ottawa and L'Opéra de Montréal; Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance with Edmonton Opera; Athanaël in Thaïs and Escamillo in Carmenwith Pacific Opera Victoria; and Charlie in Estacio's Filumena at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
Aaron's vast symphonic resume includes performances of the Fauré Requiem, Orff's Carmina Burana, Britten's War Requiem, Handel's Messiah,Mendelssohn's Elijah, and several works by Vaughan Williams, with such organizations as the Atlanta Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, San Francisco Opera Center, Edmonton Symphony, Orchestra London, Brott Summer Music Festival, Festival Lanaudiere in Québec, Vancouver Bach Choir, Binghamton Symphony, Victoria Symphony, Bellevue Philharmonic, Rochester Philharmonic, as well as various orchestras in Grand Rapids, Calgary and Ventura, California. Other works in his repertoire include Brahms' Vier ernste Gesänge, Copland'sOld American Songs, and Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen.
As an alumnus of the Glimmerglass Opera's Young Artist Program, Nicholson starred as Lt. Lukash in their productions of The Good Soldier Schweik and as Sonora in La Fanciulla del West. The Abbotsford, British Columbia native was also a member of San Francisco Opera's Merola Opera Program and Seattle Opera's young artist program. The George London competition finalist has also earned awards such as the Richmond F. Gold Career Grant, the Karl Muller Performance Award from Seattle Opera, and the Sullivan Foundation Award for role preparation assistance.

I am looking for the proof of the following theorem:
Let $(a_n)$ be a sequence of real numbers. Then there exists a function $f$ which is infinitely differentiable at 0, and $$ \frac{d^nf}{dx^n}(0) = a_n, \ \ \text{for all } n.$$
I would appreciate either a sketch of the proof or an online reference to it. A general case is listed as Borel's lemma in Wikipedia, without proof.
The hard part is when the power series $\sum_n \frac{a_n}{n!}x^n$ has a zero radius of convergence.
Edit: Thanks for the answers!

Chemistry is the science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of matter and with the changes matter undergoes. There are many different employment opportunities open to chemists. A chemist can work in a laboratory or research environment asking questions and testing hypotheses with experiments. Another possibility for a chemist is to work on a computer developing theories or models or to predict reactions. Some chemists do field work. Others contribute advice on chemistry for projects. Some chemists write. Some chemists teach. Others use chemistry to enter the medical field.
The chemistry program offers two associate degrees: the Associate in Arts (A.A.) and the Associate in Science (A.S.). The courses in this program can prepare students for technicianlevel jobs or university transfer to Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree programs in chemistry.

The U.S. Census Bureau today released more detailed 2010 Census population totals and demographic characteristics to the governor and leadership of the state legislature in Idaho. These data provide the first look at population counts for small areas and race, Hispanic origin, voting age and housing unit data released from the 2010 Census.
The official 2010 Census Redistricting Data Summary File can be used to redraw federal, state and local legislative districts under Public Law 94-171. The census data are used by state officials to realign congressional and state legislative districts in their states, taking into account population shifts since the 2000 Census.
Data for Idaho show that the five most populous incorporated places and their 2010 Census counts are Boise, 205,671; Nampa, 81,557; Meridian, 75,092; Idaho Falls, 56,813; and Pocatello, 54,255. Boise grew by 10.7 percent since the 2000 Census. Nampa grew by 57.2 percent, Meridian grew by 115.0 percent, Idaho Falls grew by 12.0 percent, and Pocatello grew by 5.4 percent.
The largest county is Ada, with a population of 392,365. Its population grew by 30.4 percent since 2000. The other counties in the top five include Canyon, with a population of 188,923 (increase of 43.7 percent); Kootenai, 138,494 (increase of 27.4 percent); Bonneville, 104,234 (increase of 26.3 percent); and Bannock, 82,839 (increase of 9.6 percent).
The redistricting file consists of five detailed tables: the first shows the population by race, including six single race groups and 57 multiple race groups (63 total race categories); the second shows the Hispanic or Latino population as well as the non-Hispanic or Latino population cross-tabulated by the 63 race categories. These tabulations are repeated in the third and fourth tables for the population 18 years and over and are for the resident population of the United States. The fifth table provides counts of housing units and their occupancy status.
These five detailed tables are available to the public online via FTP download at http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/01-Redistricting_File--PL_94-171/ and will be available within 24 hours at http://factfinder2.census.gov. (Access 2003 or Access 2007 shells or SAS scripts are provided to assist with importing and accessing the summary file data from the FTP site. These shells and scripts can be found at https://www.census.gov/rdo/tech_tips. This Web page also contains special instructions for linking data downloaded from FactFinder and/or the FTP site with the Census Bureau's geographic products.)
By April 1, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive these data for the following areas: state, congressional districts (for 111th Congress), counties, minor civil divisions, state legislative districts, places, school districts, census tracts, block groups and blocks, and if applicable, American Indian and Alaska Native areas and Hawaiian home lands. In addition, data are available for the 46 states that voluntarily provided voting districts to the Census Bureau's Redistricting Data Program. Unique geographies for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are also available.
The Census Bureau collects race and Hispanic origin information following the U.S. Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) standards for collecting and tabulating data on race and ethnicity. In October 1997, the OMB issued the current standards, which identify five race groups: white, black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. The Census Bureau also utilized a sixth category -- "some other race." Respondents who reported only one race are shown in these six groups.
Individuals were first presented with the option to self-identify with more than one race in the 2000 Census, and this continued in the 2010 Census. People who identify with more than one race may choose to provide multiple races in response to the race question. The 2010 Census results provide new data on the size and makeup of the nation's multiracial population.
Respondents who reported more than one of the six race groups are included in the "two or more races" population. There are 57 possible combinations of the six race groups.
The Census Bureau included the "some other race" category for responses that could not be classified in any of the other race categories on the questionnaire. In the 2000 Census, the vast majority of people who reported only as "some other race" were of Hispanic or Latino origin. Data on Hispanics or Latinos, who may be of any race, were obtained from a separate question on ethnicity.
Additional information about the redistricting data program, including news releases for other states, can be found online at http://2010.census.gov/news/press-kits/redistricting.html. More information on the redistricting data program is also available at https://www.census.gov/rdo/data.
For further information about Idaho's 2010 Census redistricting data, contact:
In addition to the full set of detailed tables to be available on FactFinder within 24 hours, five custom tables are also attached to this news release. The first (Table 1) shows the most populous counties and incorporated places in 2010, their change since the 2000 Census and their population rank for both decades.
Table 2 shows data for all ages and for those 18 and older for the Hispanic or Latino population, as well as for people who reported one race and those who reported two or more races. This table also shows the numeric and percent change in the population by race and Hispanic origin between 2000 and 2010.
Table 3 is similar to Table 2. However, it shows data for the six "race alone or in combination" categories. The concept "race alone or in combination" includes people who reported only a single race (e.g., Asian) and people who reported that race in combination with one or more of the other major race groups (i.e., white, black or African-American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and some other race).
The concept "race alone or in combination," represents the maximum number of people who reported as that major race group, either alone or in combination with another race(s). The sum of the six individual "race alone or in combination" categories may add to more than the total population because people who reported more than one race were tallied in each race category.
For people who reported two or more races, Table 4 shows the population in each of the 15 combinations of two races (for example, the number of people who reported being both white and black or African-American).
Table 5 shows the population in the major race categories and of Hispanic or Latino origin for Idaho's most populous counties and incorporated places.
The attached custom maps show the total population by county for Idaho and the percent change in the population by county.
