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.

Ayn Rand, born Alisa Rosenbaum, based her professional first name on a Finnish one [see above]. The source of her last name, however, has been a mystery. Although its origin is still uncertain, recent biographical research by Drs. Allan Gotthelf and Michael Berliner has eliminated one possible source. An oft-repeated story claims that Ayn Rand took her last name from her Remington Rand typewriter while she was living in Chicago in 1926. This is false and we would like to put the error to rest.

The Dictionary of American Names, page 232, states that a Whipple was originally "one who came from Whimple (white stream) in Devonshire [England]."

Writings on Graphology were also published in 1622 by an Italian doctor of medicine and philosophy. The European masters of this science did most of their work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

quot;...The word "pope" means father. In ancient Greek it was a child's term of affection but was borrowed by later Latin as honorific. Both Greek-speaking Eastern and Latin-speaking Western Christians then applied it to priests and bishops and patriarchs ('head of the family'); and still today priests of the Orthodox Churches of Greece, Russia and Serbia call their parish priests 'pope'. Gradually, however, Latin started to restrict its usage.

Acadia probably stems from a name given to the area by the explorer, Giovanni Verrazano, when he sailed by in 1524. The shoreline reminded him of a part of Greece named Arcadia.

Early in 1990, the Congressional Black Caucus, a bi-partisan coalition of academicians, social scientists and political activists met with EPA officials to discuss their findings that EPA was unfairly applying its enforcement inspections and that environmental risk was higher in racial minority and low-income populations.

Saul B. Marantz, born in 1911 in New York City, started the company. His interests included photography, playing classical guitar, and collecting oriental artwork. (I find it fascinating that those are also all interests of mine!) Prior to his audio undertakings, he worked as a graphic artist and also spent some time in the military. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where his interest in electronics first blossomed as a young boy.

In many, but by no means all, early New England burying grounds the graves are positioned east/west. This east/west orientation is the most common orientation in other parts of the country and world as well. The earliest settlers had their feet pointing toward the east and the head of the coffin toward the west, ready to rise up and face the "new day" (the sun) when "the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised" or when Christ would appear and they would be reborn.

There are several theories for the origin of our culture's disapproval of fatness. Since it seems to have started in the early part of the twentieth century, some say it started with motion pictures, since they say "the camera puts on 15 pounds". One theory says that the beginning of ready-to-wear clothing changed everything. Until the early 1900s, all clothing was custom-made, so a person's size was of no significance.

Creators Rob Burnett and Jon Beckerman have said that the recurring $10 bet gag is inspired by their true-life experiences. For instance, Rob Burnett has mentioned in interviews that the first $10 bet used in "Ed" - meowing loud enough to get a stranger's attention - was first done between himself and Beckerman on an airplane. "We've got to use that in the show!'" he recalls them saying at the time.

The default origin is at the center of the base joint axis, in the middle of the threaded insert/tripod mount, flush with the bottom of the base plate. The X-axis runs parallel to the "tombstone", with the positive X in the direction in which the counterweight points.

The simple answer is yes. All products have a non-preferential origin but only certain products from particular countries can have preferential origin. The criteria for obtaining non-preferential origin are set out in Article 24 of the Customs Code.

I think Toru Iwatani was the chief director (and/or designer) but he had of course others who helped him with programming & graphics. PacMan is a japaneese game and was originally developed in Japan.

It is difficult to trace the origin, but the historic Jones' 1989 paper, Nature 338 p 737 "Observation of cold nuclear fusion in condensed matter" certainly stimulated many similar titles.
