The records are segregated by race. The collection details include an estimated precinct locality that is based on the census precinct number within a county.
For a list of records by date or locality currently published in this collection, select the Browse link from the collection landing page.
Record Content
The records usually include:
- Name of each person in household
- Address
- Age
- Gender
- Birth place
- Occupation
- Level of education
How to Use the Record
To begin your search it is helpful to know:
- Name
- Identifying information such as age, birthplace or address
Search the Collection
To search the collection by name fill in your ancestor's name in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person.
If you did not find the person you were looking for, you may need to search the collection by image.
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page
⇒Select "County"
⇒Select "Precinct number, est. precinct locality-town"
which takes you to the images.
Look at each image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
With either search keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article [FamilySearch Tips and Tricks].
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors. For example use the age listed to determine an approximate birth date. This date along with the place of birth can help you find a birth record. Birth records often list biographical and marital details about the parents and close relatives other than the immediate family.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- It is often helpful to extract the information on all families with the same surname in the same general area. If the surname is uncommon, it is likely that those living in the same area were related.
- Be sure to extract all families before you look at other records. The relationships given will help you to organize family groups. The family groupings will help you identify related families when you discover additional information in other records.
- Married family members may have lived nearby but in a separate household so you may want to search an entire town, neighboring towns, or even an county.
- You may be able to identify an earlier generation if elderly parents were living with or close by a married child.
- You may be able to identify a younger generation if a young married couple still lived with one of their sets of parents.
- Additional searches may be needed to locate all members of a particular family in the census.
- You should also be aware that the census may identify persons for whom other records do not exist.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for alias names, nicknames and abbreviated names.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
- Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor.
- There is also the possibility that a family was missed in the census.

General Information About These Records
The record is printed on large sheets with rows and columns that were filled in by hand by the enumerator. The schedules are usually arranged by county, town, and then by political subdivision.
The census was created by the state of Florida. These records cover a majority of the population. However some precincts are missing from several of the counties.
The collection details include an estimated precinct locality that is based on the census precinct number within a county. Precinct numbers have been used to map town names to the record. The city or town names were often not written on each census form.
The census was compiled to obtain a count and description of the population of the state of Florida for representation purposes.
Use the information with some caution. The information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or even by a neighbor. Some information may have been recorded incorrectly, or even deliberately falsified.

Channel 6 News - Search Results
The Real Deal: Inside the Mind of a Scammer, Part 2
ALBANY - Federal Investigators are now looking into an international crime ring that a CBS6 Investigation uncovered this week. A scammer in Ahmadabad, India, contacted CBS6 Investigative Reporter Jennifer Lewke several weeks ago describing the scam he and the people he works for run against unsuspecting Americans. Since then, he has provided a number of documents containing the personal information of thousands of Americans, many from right here in New York, which has been used illegally to steal identities. Lewke took that information to the FBI in Albany who now says it will launch its own investigation into the operation.
From half-a-world away, the scammer, who we're calling Nadir, explained how he and the people he worked for pulled off the scam. He says they bought the personal information of those looking for payday loans and then called the victims and told them before the loan could be processed, they would need to provide a down payment on a preloaded debit card, "once they give us that 14 digit number off the green dot card, the money is gone," Nadir says. But that wasn't even the worst of it, "the details are used for hacking their bank accounts, once we have those, we activate fake cards on the same details," he adds.
To back up his claims, Nadir sent CBS6 a number of documents. One print-out alone consisted of thousands of pages of personal information, names, addresses, social security numbers, bank account numbers, routing numbers, IP addresses, of thousands of Americans. Nadir claims to have ten-times the amount of information he shared with CBS6.
Lewke tracked down a number of the people whose information was on the document and confirmed that the personal information Nadir provided was accurate. Edith Pagan lives in Rensselaer, she applied for a payday loan back in 2010 and thought the whole thing was behind her, she had no idea her personal information was still being accessed regularly by scammers. "That, that's my social security, it is, that's my job, they got my date of birth, they got my bank, that is my checking account and that's the routing numberit's scary, they got my license, it's really scary," she said when looking at the information provided.
Nadir has said that he would be willing to talk with and provide further information to American Law Enforcement. So, CBS6 brought the information he shared with us to the FBI in Albany. "We appreciate you providing it to us and what we'll do is take this information and review it, determine if there is a criminal violation that we can investigate and even if there isn't, we'll do whatever we can, reasonably to mitigate any further damage of the release of the information This does happen more often than we would hope but we take any unauthorized disclosure of American citizens personal, identifiable information, very seriously because it could have dire consequences for them," says Supervisory Special Agent Paul Holstein. It's something Pagan is finding out the hard way, "Oh I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on my credit because you never know, I mean that is really scary to know they got everything out there," she says.

^No, that is not what happened.
Chris and Drake's bodyguards and entourage were fighting w/ each other. Chris and Drake didn't fight each other and according to most reports Drake's team instigated an argument between them that escalated when members of Drake's posse started throwing champagne bottles into the Chris' area in the club.
Secondly, as a longtime CB fan I do wish these "incidents" would stop occuring! Absolutely! I always felt Chris should follow this operation 1)stay out of nightclubs, 2) focus on singing/dancing 3) keep a low profile (get off twitter) 4) live a healthier lifestyle 5) gain more humilty. Essentially acting more like a Beyonce.
Beyonce is the perfect example of modern black celeb who does all those things and maintains a very high profile. Chris on the other hand comes off reckless, and arrogant so it makes it easier for haters to remind us of 09. I just wish he would get more humble and show us his sweetheart side like when he first started out so these haters can stop discussing him and Rihanna. Its getting tiresome at this point!

Sept. 15: WNBA regular season ends.
Sept. 19: WNBA playoffs begin.
Oct. 16: Latest possible date for WNBA Finals.
The Storm season will start the same way it usually does.
Training camp will open Sunday. The team will meet with coach and general manager Brian Agler to discuss expectations. Then the players will run through a two-hour session at the Royal Brougham Pavilion practice facility.
But for the first time since 2002, the Storm will prepare to play an entire season without Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson, who are out with injuries.
The Storm has 11 new faces on its 15-player training-camp roster.
"This season is going to be a test of our character, for sure," Storm forward Camille Little said.
The Storm and the Tulsa Shock are the only WNBA teams that will begin training camp with just one All-Star on their rosters. Seattle's is 17-year veteran Tina Thompson, the WNBA's all-time points leader.
"We've played a lot of games without Lauren," Agler said of the franchise's leading scorer, who has played just 22 games the past two seasons due to the Olympics and injuries. "We haven't played as many without Sue, so that will be a new experience for us. But we're going to start training camp with a group of people I feel can be competitive."
Jackson and Bird knew in December of their injuries and spoke with each other about possible plans for surgeries before deciding to undergo procedures. Jackson had successful right-hamstring surgery in January. Bird was told she couldn't do further damage to her left knee by playing this offseason in Russia, where she helped her team win the domestic-league title. She will undergo surgery to remove a cyst in her knee on Thursday.
Jackson communicated with most of her teammates regarding her plans and was sheepish in recalling a conversation with former teammate Ann Wauters.
"I hoped she was playing, since I'm not," Jackson said.
Instead, Wauters is completing a season in Turkey, vying for league title with Galatasaray, and will not return to the WNBA. She and her wife gave birth to children in 2011 and wish to return to their native Belgium to raise the family.
Seattle waived Wauters, whose contract would have expired this year. Jackson's contract was suspended, and she'll forgo her guaranteed $107,500 pay, so it won't count against the Storm's $913,000 salary cap.
Bird's $107,500 in guaranteed pay does count against the cap, and she counts toward the maximum 11-player roster because she's rehabilitating in Seattle. She'll have surgery in Connecticut and return when she's able to travel. Bird said she'll be on crutches for six weeks.
The Storm didn't seek to retain All-Star Katie Smith and Russian star Svetlana Abrosimova.
Polish center Ewelina Kobryn's status is uncertain, as she will miss training camp to participate in her sister's wedding.
"With Ewa, it's really important that she's part of training camp because her natural language isn't English," said Agler, "and it's more difficult to get somebody in like that midseason."
Agler added: "We have to see if it's worth our while to move forward with her."
The 6-foot-4 Kobryn would help the Storm's lack of depth inside. She averaged 13.3 minutes and started six games in 2012.
Despite the changes, Agler and returning starters Little and Tanisha Wright don't expect the Storm's style to change. Seattle still wants to run in transition and was one of the WNBA's better defensive teams in 2012, holding opponents to a league-low 71.6 points.
But the Storm had trouble scoring (71.2 points per game), rebounding (31.9) and taking care of the ball, averaging 17 turnovers.
"It's hard because you always plan, 'This is what we're going to look like,' but things change," said Smith, who played two seasons in Seattle. "The way Brian is, it won't affect the way things go in practice or the mentality. And Tanisha, Camille and Tina will be out there doing work like they always do."

I have been a photo enthusiast from the days of the "wet" darkroom. Meaning, I developed my own film in chemicals, cut up the negatives, then printed them with an enlarger!
For five years, from 2001-2006, after studying Photoshop at both the New School and The School of Visual Arts, I began working with New York-based photojournalist, Marc Asnin, on his 25-year project documenting his uncle. My digital retouching of those images will appear in his book, UNCLE CHARLIE, in November 2012.
Other images of Mr. Asnin's that I worked on appeared in Life, People, New Scientist, Reader's Digest, and other magazines.
I also digitally printed, on large-format Epson printers, images for his and other photographer's exhibits.
20th Century American history is my focus.
I was an Editorial Producer for Major League Baseball for six years. Plus, I am a lifelong fan.
I am a graduate student in Lehman College's Masters in Childhood Education program (grades 1-6)
I have worked on the Mac platform since the mid-1990s. I currently use an iMac and a Macbook Pro, and know softwares from the world of writing, photography, music and more. I also am pretty good at problem solving and replacing hard drives and RAM.

I was a writer and editorial producer for Major League Baseball Advanced Media for six years. In that time, I had to copyedit and proof all the articles posted on the two sites I was in charge of.
I am a recorded songwriter. One of my songs, FEEL THE NIGHT, was recorded by GRP artist Carl Anderson in the early 1990s. It can still be downloaded on iTunes.
I have written poetry, music and lyrics, screenplays, started a memoir, wrote a proposal to the National Endowment for the Humanities, and more. All genres have their rules.
Recently, I worked at Major League Baseball Advanced Media (the Internet division of MLB) from 2006-2012, There, I had the opportunity to write articles for both the MLB.com and SNY.tv websites, as well as meet and interview some of the top writers in the world of baseball.
Are you interested in getting a head start on other students who are interested in journalism, whether in high school or preparing for college? I can teach you.
Or are you a parent with a young person who loves sports, and loves the idea of having the public read your opinions and attending sporting events around the world for free, but doesn't know what steps to take to make it a reality? I can help guide that young person of yours.
Each genre of writing has its own rules, and sports writing is no different. When it comes to article writing, do you know what the difference is between a gamer, a write-thru, a feature, a column, an enterprise piece, or a notebook?
Would you like to know what a beat writer does, and how that's different from a feature writer or a columnist?
I'd love to show you and guide you into the world of sports writing. You'll never read a sports article the same way again.
I've also written songs (I have a song on iTunes that received radio airplay), have written poetry, and am currently still taking classes in writing at UCLA Extension (courses like screenwriting and children's writing).

What our experts say . . . Advice for President Obama From public service and good government, to energy, science and environmental protection; from better health policy – and a healthier America, to making the arts a national priority; tax policy, cybersecurity and prisons…SPEA professors address issues of national and international importance, and offer their suggestions to the President. Imagine you're sharing an elevator ride with President Barack Obama, and he asks your advice – about something you've spent your professional career studying. That's the challenge IU's e-newsletter, "Perspectives on Policy," posed to a number of IU faculty members – 12 of them from SPEA – including experts in health care, energy, education, the environment, technology, economic and tax policy, and other fields. Their responses – varied in tone and content, are without exception thoughtful and passionate. The authors of these "elevator speeches" write with deep awareness of the difficulties facing the new administration, acknowledging that the President's job is both the most important and the most difficult job in the world. Yet they get right to the task, offering a range of ideas: • Boost consumer spending by using federal funds to reduce state sales taxes. • Use the power of technology to improve citizens' health, not just the health care system. • Take advantage of the global interest in learning English to help young Americans engage with the world. • Reach out to China and India, the world's most populous countries, to tackle climate change. • Create an Arts Corps of people to share the experience of having one's life changed by art. Many of the suggestions are analytical and policy oriented, others are direct and personal. The experts urge Obama to heed expertise, and they take heart from his inaugural promise to "restore science to its rightful place." "But we need to value science for what it can teach us about uncertainty, as well as for its ability to reduce uncertainty," writes conservation biologist Vicky Meretsky. Science, she adds, can provide strategies for "weathering surprises, reducing damage and hastening recovery." The fact is that some of this advice has already found its way to the new president, where at least some of it has been heard and implemented. • Lisa Bingham served on Obama's Urban Policy Committee/Collaborative Governance Task Force, which produced white papers for the campaign. On his first day in office, President Obama signed an executive order on transparency and openness in government, which reflected the group's input. • Leslie Lenkowsky shared his views on whether national service should be expanded on Monday at a Washington, D.C., symposium sponsored by the Hudson Institute. For all the range and depth of the advice that we've gathered, it only scratches the surface of Indiana University policy expertise – and of the issues facing the Obama administration. Even so, we believe these contributions should spark productive discussions by policy makers and by citizens. As you read them, we urge you to share the comments that strike you as true and important. Send them to your neighbors. Send them to your congressman or congresswoman. Yes, send them to your president. Mr. President, are you listening? Matthew R. Auer Reach out to the Asian powers. Make a breakthrough with China and India on the problem of climate change. China and India have the power to neutralize – or alternatively, reinforce – anything good that comes from America's efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions. David Gergen, the famous Washington insider, describes your calm demeanor, President Obama, as a kind of "Aloha Zen." That zenlike bearing – karmic but unflinchingly goal-oriented – will serve you well in your dealings with Asian counterparts. On the climate change problem, coaxing cooperation from China and India will require persistence, but also a diplomatic strategy unlike any previously tried. The old approach, heavy on demands and moral obligations, doesn't work particularly well. The new approach must offer nothing less than glory to China and India – recognition not only for their sacrifices, but also their ingenuity and pre-eminence. Yes, China and India will continue to demand financial assistance, transferrable technologies, and targets and timetables for emissions reduction that are less stringent than those binding most OECD countries. But bragging rights mean a lot to China and India, too. Ironically, since it is not a contracting party to the Kyoto Protocol, the U.S. is in a relatively strong position to negotiate with China and India. The U.S. can say, "The world perceives us to be laggards in dealing with global warming. Let's nullify that view, in a dramatic fashion." Chinese and Indian universities graduate hundreds of thousands of engineers each year. There are millions of well-equipped, would-be problem-solvers in these two countries. Already, China has emerged as the technological leader in solar energy research and development. Your plans for overhauling energy policy are more ambitious than any of your predecessors. But you need strong partners overseas to ensure lasting benefits for the U.S. and the world. Enlisting China and India as lead partners is vital to that end. Matthew R. Auer is a professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and dean of the Hutton Honors College, Indiana University.
A. James Barnes The U.S. has a moral duty to lead. At the same time the world is confronting a serious decline in the global economy, as well as loss of confidence in the financial system, its emissions of greenhouse gases are on a trajectory to accelerate changes in our climate with potentially disastrous effects on human welfare, ecosystems and international security. The coincidence of these two global-scale problems, with their solutions seen by some as irreconcilably in conflict, represents both a challenge � and an opportunity � to you as president. As the nation with the highest per capita carbon emissions, the United States has a moral duty to both set a good example � and provide enlightened leadership to foster concerted action among the community of nations � to effectively stabilize the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and to mitigate the impact of global climate change. Life on Earth as we know it cannot be sustained if the rest of the world even approaches our per capita emission levels. We need a technological revolution to avert the consequences of long-term global warming, and our leadership and resources are crucial to creating that revolution. Your policies should provide incentives for, and facilitate the development and rapid utilization of, clean, renewable sources of energy and more energy-efficient technologies and practices. Concomitantly, existing subsidies should be removed from energy-inefficient technologies and practices. Moreover, the developing world should be included in demonstration projects. The emergence of cost-effective options will speed acceptance and utilization of such technologies � and increase people�s willingness to agree to the limits those technologies will make possible. As the old Indian saying goes, the earth is not inherited from our fathers, but is borrowed from our children. Your leadership is critical to putting us on a path to pass a viable earth on to all the children of the world. It�s the �change we need.� A. James Barnes is a professor of public and environmental affairs and professor of law. He is former dean of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs..
Lisa Blomgren Bingham Redefine public participation in government. Congratulations on your election, and congratulations on the Presidential Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government. As your administration already realizes, the laws on how government engages the public predate the Internet. They date back to a time when agencies viewed letting the public into the policy process as a necessary evil, a check on their abuse of power imposed by Congress. Some laws, like the Federal Advisory Committee Act, were adopted to limit agencies� ability to collaborate with stakeholders from the private and nonprofit sector. The time has come to revamp administrative law. We need to redefine public participation throughout federal law so that we encourage agencies to use every form of face-to-face dialogue and online communication to get the best ideas on the table. This means not just the knowledge of experts, but also the wisdom and values of citizens and stakeholders who deliberate on our challenges and potential solutions. We need to build collaboration into the U.S. Code. Right now, the word appears nowhere in the Administrative Procedure Act, even though there has been a tremendous growth in networks, contracts, public-private partnerships, and other structures through which agencies collaborate with others to get the public�s work done. Laws always lag behind practice. When they do, they can get in the way of innovation and become barriers to the best thinking. We need every idea we can get, given the mess we are in. Let�s make it easier. Let�s design a legal framework for agencies and the public as partners in governance in the 21st Century. Lisa Blomgren Bingham is the Keller-Runden Professor of Public Service at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA). She recently served on the Civic Engagement Subcommittee of the Urban Policy Committee for the Obama Campaign.
Crystal Garcia Reinvest in re-entry. We can't afford not to. Perhaps the most critical criminal justice issue that Congress and the administration will face is prisoner re-entry. As a senator, Mr. President, you co-sponsored the Reducing Recidivism and Second Chance Act of 2007 (SCA). This legislation provides re-entry services to adult and juvenile offenders and their families. This was a good first step. However, greater coordination of effort and resources are needed to provide state and local governments the appropriate technical assistance and seed money to implement and institutionalize effective re-entry programs. The SCA is slated to receive $65 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. This is not enough to provide the programmatic elements necessary for successful reintegration (e.g., employment and educational assistance, substance abuse treatment, housing, family programming, mentoring, victims support, etc.). Do the math. State and federal prisons release 700,000 individuals each year. Divide the dollars appropriated for the SCA for FY2009 by 700,000. This results in an expenditure of $92.85 per ex-offender. None of the needs identified above can be met in any meaningful way for that amount of money. Such a pedestrian attempt to assess federal investment in re-entry may be unfair. Unfortunately, queries to think tanks, non-profit organizations, and government agencies failed to produce an exact dollar amount invested by the federal government for re-entry. There are nearly 2.3 million Americans (not counting juveniles) behind bars today, and jails and prisons don't offer much rehabilitation. Almost all (97 percent) of these prisoners are getting out and will live in our neighborhoods; roughly two-thirds are re-arrested within three years of release. Given all of this, my advice is to work with Congress to reinvest in re-entry. Such "reinvestment" would include drastically increasing the SCA's annual appropriation, identifying re-entry as its own purpose area in Byrne Formula Grants; requiring states that are granted federal reentry pass-through dollars to map their re-entry networks, assets and gaps in services before receiving funds; implementing transitional job programs, eliminating most bans on federal benefits for persons with criminal histories (e.g., public housing, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid, financial aid for students); and pressuring states to revisit their restrictions on aid. Why do this? We can't afford not to. Helping ex-offenders succeed helps us all. Crystal Garcia is an associate professor of criminal justice, law and public safety in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
Leslie Lenkowsky Make AmeriCorps better, not bigger. During your campaign, you called for increasing AmeriCorps, the nation's principal national service program, from its current level of 75,000 positions to 250,000 over five years. Engaging more Americans in community service is a worthy goal (and John McCain supported it, too), but expanding AmeriCorps is not the only – and may not be the best – way to do it. When it began in 1993, AmeriCorps had two principal aims. One was to address urgent social problems, such as homelessness and failing schools, by enlisting young people to serve for a year or two as tutors, mentors, health care aides, and in other roles with charities throughout the United States. The other was to foster a lifetime commitment to civic activity among those who participated in the program. After 15 years, the evidence that AmeriCorps is achieving either objective is slim. Some organizations that use AmeriCorps members, most notably Teach for America, can demonstrate real results, such as improvements in reading or math by children in classes taught by participants in the program. But these organizations tend to be highly selective, recruiting volunteers at the best colleges and universities, and invest heavily in training them. That is not the case for most groups that employ AmeriCorps members, nor have they much proof of what they are accomplishing. A long-term study of AmeriCorps members has shown that they are more likely to stay active in community life than their peers. But since joining AmeriCorps is voluntary, those who did so were more civic-minded to start with. As a result, how much difference their service in AmeriCorps made is hard to tell. This record (or lack thereof) suggests that at the very least, the Obama administration should concern itself with the quality of the AmeriCorps program, not just the quantity of AmeriCorps positions. It should also recognize that over 60 million Americans volunteer each year, including more than three million who give over 10 hours per week, the minimum amount required of AmeriCorps members. Helping the nation's charities make better use of the volunteers they already have should be as high a priority for the Obama administration as expanding AmeriCorps. Not least important, your administration should encourage the nation's schools – colleges and universities, as well as elementary and secondary – to do a better job educating young people for citizenship. If students do not understand the events and principles on which the United States was built (and there is plenty of evidence they do not), they are apt to be less willing to make the sacrifices – including volunteering and serving in AmeriCorps – necessary to extend and preserve them. Leslie Lenkowsky is director of graduate programs for the Center on Philanthropy at IUPUI, as well as a professor of public affairs and philanthropic studies. He served as CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the parent organization of AmeriCorps, from 2001 to 2003.
Vicky Meretsky Help scientists educate about uncertainty As we begin to pick up the reins of responsible stewardship of the environment, science will be important, and you've already made it clear that you value science for the information it can offer. But we need to learn to value science for what it can teach us about uncertainty, as well as for its ability to reduce uncertainty. If economists are wrong about the economy (it has been known to happen), the public is upset, but seems to understand that global economics is a complex picture that can surprise us. The same public, faced with surprises in its environment, often decides that science is useless, self-serving, or worse. Help scientists to educate the public about uncertainty, and help us to show the public (including Congress!) that science can provide strategies for weathering surprises: for reducing damage and hastening recovery. Just as we need Americans to help rebuild the nation in so many other ways, we need Americans to be informed participants in using and protecting our natural resources in the face of climate change, increased development pressures and other threats. Vicky Meretsky is an associate professor and conservation biologist in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
James L. Perry Improving performance: Get it right. During the campaign you promised to create a high-performance government. You followed your campaign promise with quick action by designating a Chief Performance Officer (CPO)*, whose responsibilities are to help improve government efficiency and enhance programs' accountability for performance. The idea of making government performance a high priority is laudable. But we have been here before. In 1961 – the year you were born – Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara brought a group of whiz kids to Washington who introduced an array of efficiency and effectiveness-enhancing techniques. Every president since Lyndon Johnson promised to create a high-performance government, took actions based on their promises, and, judging by your assessments, achieved the same disappointing results. Here's my advice as you embark on the path to high-performance government. • Consult a diverse group of scholars, current and former feds, and representatives from other governments, the nonprofit community and the private sector for insights about why government performance falls short of expectations. Careful reflection about sources of past failures (including lofty expectations raised by presidential rhetoric) is essential to avoid repeating them. • Be prepared to invest in government, including its information and Web-based systems, recruitment of professional talent and senior executives, and staff training and development. The old adage that "you get what you pay for" is confirmed repeatedly in post-mortems of the deaths of federal change initiatives. • Although bureaucrats are often blamed for government's poor performance, the buck stops with you, Mr. President, and with Congress. You and Congress need to work together to assure that government programs are well designed, appropriately resourced, and effectively led. *On January 7, President Obama designated Nancy Killefer, an executive at McKinsey & Co, as his choice to become the first CPO. Ms. Killefer, citing tax problems, withdrew from consideration on February 3. James L. Perry is a distinguished professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. He has been studying government performance since the 1970s, when he led a major assessment of the effectiveness of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.
Nicole Quon Require health insurance to cover contraceptives. tion drugs, but many insurance companies deny coverage for contraceptives. Twenty-seven states require insurers to cover Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive drugs and devices, but 19 states allow some employers and insurers to opt-out. These inconsistent laws mean that many women who have health insurance are forced to pay out-of-pocket for their contraceptives. An annual supply of contraceptives typically costs less than $500, but systematically excluding a class of legal prescription products is unfair. It is unfair for women who rely on these products for family planning, and it is especially unfair to low-income women. There is precedent for this type of federal insurance regulation. In 1996, Congress passed mandates for coverage for maternity care and mental health services. The scope of the mental health provision was expanded in 2008. A bipartisan coalition of senators and representatives has introduced legislation since 1997 that would force insurance companies to pay for contraceptives. You were a co-sponsor of this legislation in 2005 and 2007. Studies have documented that companies that add contraceptive coverage save money from unintended pregnancies. Why have we been debating this policy for a decade? The evidence is clear: mandating insurance coverage for contraceptives would save money and address an important women's health concern. I urge you to include family planning services as a key component of your health system reform plan. Nicole Quon is the director of the Center for Research in Energy and the Environment (CREE) and a professor of environmental science at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
J.C. Randolph Support research: heed its results. My advice would be to actually listen to the scientific community on a wide variety of issues such as energy, environmental protection, and health care. We have endured eight years during which scientific information was not only ignored but often was manipulated or distorted for political purposes. You have selected some absolutely outstanding scientists in several cabinet and other high-level positions. Give them responsibility, give them authority, and listen to them. We know that our climate is changing and we know that humans are greatly influencing our global environment, but more research is needed for both mitigation of, and adaptation to, these impacts. We know that we need increased energy efficiency, alternative energy resources, and more energy conservation, but more research is needed for reducing environmental impacts from energy development, developing new and more efficient energy technologies and reducing our dependence on foreign oil. We know that we need more accessible, more affordable, and more advanced health care, but more research is needed in medical sciences, developing medical technologies and treatments, and improving the economics and management of health care delivery. Support this research and listen to the research results. J.C. Randolph is the director of the Center for Research in Energy and the Environment (CREE) and a professor of environmental science at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
Ken Richards The time is right to invest ini energy. n your campaign, energy was a high-profile topic. Some have suggested that you may have to compromise your goals, however, because of the ailing economy. In fact, this may be the ideal time be aggressive on the energy front, but proceed carefully. First, the caution: You cannot spend yourself rich. In a sagging economy you might be tempted to fund public programs just to put people to work. But that only makes sense if the work they do is productive. Second, the opportunity: A slow economy presents new opportunities. The resources we need for important public endeavors – e.g., labor, materials, and equipment – are now available at a much lower cost than in the recent past. We should take advantage of this opportunity to pursue long overdue improvements in our energy infrastructure, technology, and human capital. The electricity industry desperately needs to upgrade its transmission system to provide better access to wind power and more security in supply. We need to develop better technologies in the area of renewable energy. And, as the energy sector undergoes massive changes in the next couple decades, we will need a work force that is up to the challenge. Now is a good time to adopt programs to provide support for infrastructure upgrades, technology research, and support for education and training. But those programs must be carefully designed to ensure that the investments are well-spent in areas that will increase our productive capacity. Ken Richards is an associate professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and an energy economist.
John Rupp Efficiency is the key, in technology and lifestyle. As our nation's modern way of life and level of prosperity are based on affordable and reliable sources of energy, policy changes that address concerns about sustainable societal behavior, energy security and degradation of the environment must take these facts into account. Quick fixes to these three areas of concern won't work well. Our primary policy tool to change the style and type of energy usage should be based on efficiency. Changes in efficiency ranging from individual lifestyle changes to highly engineered technical solutions need to be integrated into energy policies. These changes are necessary and achievable for our nation to meet the challenge of creating an accessible and sustainable supply of energy. John Rupp is the associate director of SPEA's Center for Research in Energy and the Environment (CREE), and assistant director for research and section head, Subsurface Geology at the Indiana Geological Survey.
Michael Rushton Communicate the importance of the arts. For my advice on the arts I have restricted myself to things that won't cost the government a dime. The last thing you need these days is more voices asking for money. None of these items requires an "Arts Czar" or "Secretary of Culture." First, when the opportunity arises, let people know about how your outlook on life has been shaped by the world's cultural heritage – literature, music, film, painting, or whatever things have moved you, entertained you, that you would want to share with friends or your daughters. The arts can only flourish in an America where citizens seek it out, and you are the highest-profile role model we have. Second, continue to articulate your understanding of America's cultural diversity, that America's artistic and intellectual vitality depends on its lively marketplace of ideas, including visions that on occasion will be disturbing to some. Be a champion of the First Amendment, and stand behind the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities when, as will almost certainly happen, one of their funded projects attracts protest. Third, on the regulatory side, remember that citizens need to be able to have access to works, including those that come attached with intellectual property rights. Major producers of media will be sending plenty of lobbyists your way, asking for laws that often will make access more difficult or costly; keep in mind the arts consumer, or the young, struggling artist, whose ability to create is lessened the more that our cultural heritage is locked away behind ever-tightening copyright rules. Michael Rushton is the director of IU's Arts Administration Program at SPEA and an associate professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

Here's an image of the fridge. I live in a converted schoolhouse built in 1890, very small and modest. The stove (not visible in this photo) is an old Jenn-Aire from the 1980s, built in an island; it's 30" inches wide. If you follow the link below, you'll see additional photos. |

United Airlines will launch flights between Austin and Cleveland from 25 September, re-entering the market that was dropped nearly five years ago.
A United Express partner will operate the once daily flight on a 66-seat Bombardier CRJ700, according to Austin-Bergstrom International airport.
Continental Airlines offered a flight in the market on a 50-seat Embraer ERJ145 from April 2003 until September 2008. The carrier merged with Chicago-based United in 2010.
No airlines offer nonstop flights between Austin and Cleveland, Innovata schedules show.
United is the second largest carrier after Southwest Airlines in Austin with a 15.7%, or 111 million available seat kilometres (ASK), share of capacity, and is the largest in Cleveland with a 72.6%, or 377 million ASKs, share, according to Innovata Flightmaps Analytics.

Scientists Find Africa's Longest Land Migration: Zebras' 350-Mile Trek
Originally published on Thu May 29, 2014 7:11 pm
Wildlife biologists have discovered the longest known terrestrial migration in Africa: some 350 miles across southern Africa by huge herds of zebras. Large mammal migration in Africa has generally been hindered by the subdivision and fencing of land. However, this one remains possible because it takes place in a unique, multi-country wildlife corridor.

- The Joneses
- Production year: 2009
- Country: USA
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 95 mins
- Directors: Derrick Borte
- Cast: Amber Heard, Ben Hollingsworth, David Duchovny, Demi Moore, Gary Cole, Glenne Headly, Lauren Hutton
The German-born director of this would-be satirical comedy has a good idea. A quartet of attractive actors is hired to a PR company to infiltrate an exclusive American community posing as a perfect family, their mission to persuade the wealthy conformists to emulate them by buying the cars, booze, furniture, sports equipment, clothes and electronic gear they use. It's a squib that fizzes cheerfully for half an hour but doesn't explode. What begins as a tough fable on consumerism ends up in soggy sentimentality.

Metabolic "breathalyzer" could diagnose disease from our breath
Scientists – and dogs – have known for some time that our breath can reveal much more about us than our estimated blood alcohol content. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison believe that "breathalyzer"-like technology they currently have under development could be used to diagnose a wide range of diseases, such as diabetes, cancer and infections. Such technology, which relies on the fact that many diseases alter the body's metabolism in distinctive ways, would provide a non-invasive method of detecting disease even before typical symptoms appear.

New device to generate electricity from human breathing
One of the biggest hurdles facing the developers of biological implants is coming up with a power source to keep the implanted devices ticking. We've seen various technologies that could be used instead of traditional batteries (which require the patient to go under the knife so they can be replaced) such as wireless transmission of power from outside the body, biological fuel cells that generate electricity from a person's blood sugar, and piezoelectric devices that generate electricity from body movements or the beating of the heart. Now researchers have developed a device that could be used to generate electricity from a patient's breathing. Read More
In-shoe device harvests energy created by walking
Although you may not be using a Get Smart-style shoe phone anytime soon, it is possible that your mobile phone may end up receiving its power from your shoes. University of Wisconsin-Madison engineering researchers Tom Krupenkin and J. Ashley Taylor have developed an in-shoe system that harvests the energy generated by walking. Currently, this energy is lost as heat. With their technology, however, they claim that up to 20 watts of electricity could be generated, and stored in an incorporated rechargeable battery. Read More
World's largest neutrino observatory completed in Antarctica
After five years of construction, an international team has put the finishing touches on the University of Wisconsin's IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Located in Antarctica, the observatory is looking specifically for high-energy neutrinos, which are created in violent cosmic events such as super novae and gamma ray bursts. As neutrinos collide with water molecules in the pitch black, ultra-clear ice, a blue flash of light results, which is detected by the sensors. Ever since neutrinos were discovered in 1956, scientists have hoped to decipher the information these astronomical messengers carry about distant cosmic events and the completion of the observatory marks an important step towards tracing their origins.

Neutrino observatory under Antarctic ice nearing completion
After two decades of planning, the world's first kilometer-scale neutrino observatory should finally be completed by this December. Named IceCube, it will consist of an array of 5,160 optical sensors embedded within one cubic kilometer of the Antarctic ice shelf – to put the accomplishment in perspective, one of the next-largest such observatories is just 40 cubic meters in size. Its main purpose will be to try to establish, once and for all, the source of cosmic rays. Read More
If you're looking for an easy way to make your contribution to saving the planet, then it could be as simple as switching your font to 'Century Gothic'. University of Wisconsin - Green Bay (UWGB) has rolled out the change this semester, saying it uses 30% less ink than its default font Arial when printed. Read More
We recently looked at a breakthrough in using sunlight to create hydrogen but now scientists have found a way to use ambient noise to turn water into usable hydrogen fuel. The process harvests small amounts of otherwise-wasted energy such as noise or stray vibrations from the environment to break the chemical bonds in water and produce oxygen and hydrogen gas.

Remarkable new imaging technology developed by researchers at the University of Wisconsin can not only capture the heart in 3D showing blood flow, direction, and velocity, but can also show them relating to a fourth dimension - time. The procedure is fast, and requires no invasive procedures, no contrast agent or general anesthesia and could have significant consequences for patients at risk of cardiac problems. Read More
Engineers at University of Wisconsin-Madison have found a way to convert 95% of the energy of cellulosic biomass into jet fuel using stable, inexpensive catalysts, basic equipment and minimal processing. The end hydrocarbon product is so similar to jet fuel that it is ready for application by present internal engine designs. Read More
A new study from the University of Wisconsin may have profound implications for the cosmetic-surgery industry. We all intuitively know there is an interaction between facial expression, thoughts and emotions and scientists have previously found that blocking the ability to move the body causes changes in cognition and emotion. In the latest UW tests, which involved the pinpoint administration of Botox to temporarily prevent frowning, it was found that facial expression also affects the ability to understand written language related to emotions. So using Botox … Read More
