On October 30, 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued "Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity." All federal agencies, including the Census Bureau, who collect and report data on race and ethnicity must follow these standards.

Answer: The Census Bureau followed the recommendation of its Hispanic Advisory Committee and captured multiple responses to the question on Hispanic origin for research purposes. However, multiple responses ultimately were assigned a code of one category for the official Census 2000 data.

The Census Bureau is in the process of planning data products for Census 2000. Most of our products will be released through the American FactFinder. We are in the process of identifying the content and presentation of these data. Generally, we plan to release some of the data products that were available in the 1990 census. The release of special reports will depend on internal and external funding.

The federal government considers race and Hispanic origin to be two separate and distinct concepts. For Census 2000, the questions on race and Hispanic origin were asked of every individual living in the United States. The question on Hispanic origin asked respondents if they were Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino. The question on race asked respondents to report the race or races they considered themselves to be. Both questions are based on self-identification.

The 1970 decennial census was the first to have a question on Hispanic origin on the sample or "long" census form. Since 1980, this question has appeared on the 100 percent or "short" form. Hispanic origin data are needed for the implementation of a number of federal statutes such as the enforcement of bilingual election rules under the Voting Rights Act and the monitoring and enforcement of equal employment opportunities under the Civil Rights Act.

Data by race and Hispanic origin by three-digit and five-digit ZIP Code® Tabulation Area (ZCTATM) will be available on Summary File 1, which will be released on a state-by-state basis beginning in June 2001. Summary File 1 is accessible through the Census Bureau’s American FactFinder website http://factfinder.census.gov/.

Some people would like one report to produce the number of deaths and death rates with output ordered by one of the following: Currently, WISQARS does not offer this feature. To obtain this information, you will need to run multiple reports. For example, you can run a report for all Hispanics and another report for all Non-Hispanics.

Applicants have the option to voluntarily and confidentially enter demographic information when initially registering in ED's e-Recruit System (EdHIRES). To ensure the candidate's anonymity, the data is immediately encrypted and cannot be tied to a specific candidate. There are three methods for tracking your applications. First, you can print the application confirmation screen from USAJOBS when you complete the application process.

People of Hispanic origin may be of any race and should have answered the question on race by marking one or more race categories shown on the questionnaire, including White, Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and Some Other Race.

Answer: Data on race will be shown using several different options. For example, in the Public Law 94-171 (redistricting) file, data will be shown for 63 racial categories. These include White alone, Black or African American alone, American Indian and Alaska Native alone, Asian alone, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, Some other race alone and 57 possible combinations of the above six categories.

Answer: The race will start at 1300 hours (1 p.m.) on Friday, June 13, 2008 in the Severn River off Sycamore Point in front of the Eastport Yacht Club. There will be a post finish at St. George's, Bermuda.

Answer: Particles of the material were originally discovered by Dr. Henri Moissan during his work at an ancient meteorite crash in the Diablo Canyon in Arizona in 1893. This meteorite crash happened approximately 50,000 thousand years ago. This amazing brilliant and diamond-like material discovered by Dr. Moissan was from the fragments of the meteorite. It was named “Moissanite” in honour of Dr. Moissan in 1905.

If you didn't pick up on April 3 or 4, you must go to Chumash Park to pick up before you can proceed to the start line. The half marathon, 5K and 10K start on Carell Ave. The Kids Mile and Family Fun Run races gather at Chumash Park. Read below for details. Inevitably and unfortunately, every year, someone makes the mistake of going to the Pre-Race Expo and Pick Up location on race morning.

Answer: Census Bureau complies with the Office of Management and Budget's standards for maintaining, collecting, and presenting data on race, which were revised in October 1997. They generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country. They do not conform to any biological, anthropological or genetic criteria.

According to Jim Horning (personal communication, January 20, 1998) and John Guttag (personal communication, March 28 1998): "The name was not selected at PARC (hence from the Sunset Western Garden Book), but at MIT. The project had been known informally there as 'Bicycle'." One day Mike Dertouzos [director of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science] and John were talking on the phone.

Agency's reports to the EEOC use the minimum categories prescribed by OMB Directive 15 because we have determined that these categories provide the most useful statistics for federal oversight purposes. Also, inasmuch as the prior Management Directive 714 also did not require agencies to report the race of Hispanic employees or applicants, the use of the minimum categories allows for comparison of historical data.

It is very difficult to be certain how this new disease originated. What we understand though not conclusively is that it probably started in November in Guangdong province of China. How it originated there is difficult to state. The first acquisition of the disease may have come from an animal or a bird that are in close proximity to the humans (See Q 14).

Answer: It covers similar ground to trademark infringement, but is more specific to misrepresentation of source, and applies even when there is no trademark at issue. If your website makes it appear that you sell products made by Company X, but in fact you make these products in your garage, Company X might accuse you of falsely designating the origin of (or "passing off") your items.

Answer: Data on race from Census 2000 are not directly comparable with those from the 1990 census and previous censuses due, in large part, to giving respondents the option to report more than one race. Other factors, such as reversing the order of the questions on race and Hispanic origin and changing question wording and format, also may affect comparability.

Each respondent decides his or her racial identity. For the first time ever, people with mixed racial heritage may select more than one racial category. The groups shown in the census race question can be collapsed into the minimum race categories needed by the federal government: "White," "Black or African American," "American Indian and Alaska Native," "Asian," and "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.

Answer: No, not at all. You even have the option of ordering at the race expo (this varies depending on the event). We record all runners and can make a Persoanlized DVD for any finisher. However, our products are available for a limited time only. You can order up to 60 days after an event, sometimes even longer depending on our 'event load' (how many events we are covering at any given time).

For NIH personnel before 1950, especially for the PHS Commissioned Officers Corps, the best place to begin is the Office of the Public Health Service Historian. Contact Dr. Alexandra Lord at (alord@psc.gov), phone (301) 443-5363. The names of NIH personnel since 1950 can usually be found in the annual NIH telephone books held by the NIH History Office.These publications are divided into an alphabetical listing and an organizational listing.

If the origin has been located and is visible on the movie (like "Origin 1" is by default), drag the origin on the movie to the new location by clicking on the video point where the lines intersect

When importing data, Timetabler can store details of where the data originated. These Origin records are useful when differentiating between data in multiple import operations.
