The president of one of the country's largest survey organizations on Tuesday defended the conduct of surveys from "doubters" whom he dared to conduct their own to see for themselves how the process works. "Everybody should do it, the more the better. That to me is the best remark to the doubters. Do it yourself and when you see that it works, you'll be convinced," Mahar Mangahas of the Social Weather Station (SWS) said in an interview after presenting a review of SWS surveys before students of the Atene  

The Department of Social Services wants everyone to be counted, in the Census that is, and last Monday, Lynn Fields, an income maintenance supervisor, spoke directly to the DSS board about getting people to take part. According to material provided by the department, the U.S. Census is the federal government's attempt to count every resident every 10 years, which will, in turn, benefit communities by helping them receive federal funds to help with hospitals, schools, job training centers, senior centers,  

"There will be no long forms like there were in 2000 where one in six households received a long form that took about an hour to complete," says Buckberry.

Such census resisters say the Constitution only empowers the Census Bureau to count the number of people in a household.

Arlen Specter is such a loser he would do anything to win, such as RADICALLY shifting his positions from those of a liberal Republican to a conservative Democrat! Just so that he could stay a senator, which offers zero perks except the secret underground supertrain! For a while it looked like he was going to get slaughtered at the polls by perennial enemy Pat Toomey, but now maybe not so much, because of Polling Science.  

MI6 and GCHQ have begun work to replace an aborted secret communications system that wasted tens of millions of pounds. The failed project, SCOPE Phase II, was run out of the Cabinet Office with IBM as the main contractor. The intelligence agencies have taken direct control of its replacement, CLiC (Collaboration in the Intelligence Community).

We are doing really quite well on this more modest CLiC programme, which is not being run out of the Cabinet Office, it is being run out of SIS and GCHQ   -John Scarlett
