Will DNC equal t-i-t-l-e for Denver?
Once you wade through the traffic detours, the protests and security check points, this Democratic National Convention in Denver thing ain't so bad.
Actually, it could be a real good thing when you consider that in recent years, the DNC has provided good karma for the host city's sports scene.
Check out these DNC-related sports facts, starting in 1972 with Miami, which hosted both the Democratic and Republican conventions. That same year, the Dolphins posted a 17-0 record and won Super Bowl VII.
New York hosted the DNC in 1976 and 1980. The Yankees went to the '76 World Series (after beating Kansas City, which hosted the RNC). The Islanders won the Stanley Cup for the 1980-81 season -- their second of four consecutive championships.
San Francisco was host site for the DNC in 1984. That year, the 49ers went 15-1 and won Super Bowl XIX.
Bad news: no world titles for DNC host Atlanta in 1988. New York hosted again in 1992. No championships, but the Knicks did win 60 games and went to the Eastern Conference finals in the '92-'93 season.
In 1996 Chicago hosted the DNC, and the Phil Jackson-coached Bulls won the NBA title for the 1996-97 season. In 2000 Los Angeles was host city for the DNC. The Jackson-coached Lakers won the 2000-01 NBA title.
Boston hosted the DNC in 2004. The Red Sox won the World Series that fall, and the New England Patriots won XXXIX.
Going way back, Chicago hosted the convention in 1940 and the Bears won the NFL championship. In 1948 Philadelphia hosted the DNC and the Eagles won an NFL title.
So perk up, Denver Sports Fan. A Super Bowl trip for the Broncos might be in the future, if not another a run to the Stanley Cup for the Avalanche. Don't count on, ahem, Barack-tober this year for our baseball team.
But with a little DNC karma, the Nuggets might be in line to win their playoff series since Bill Clinton held office in 1994.

What about when Denver hosted the DNC way back in 1908 or what ever it was, any titles that year?

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

It ends with the remaining funds to other important things like personal investing, or a worthy charity. If you want your money to a charity, you can tell your friends because he has decided to buy the original signature handbag, were street children, AIDS victims or work to help the working poor, while deserving the same time for the purchase of a stylish replica handbag!

The word for bird in modern Persian does refer into the capacity to fly. The word is "parande" and could be construed as anything like "leaper" or "springer" if it weren't a common noun. As with English "fowl" you can find a secondary aged word for bird "morgh" that is now generally constrained to domesticated birds (chicken in particular). The older much more general usage of morgh' can be witnessed from the brand with the mythic creature the Simurgh, which was featured in epic poems by Ferdowsi and Attar.

Director Groves -
While a second targeting mailing is good in theory it has caught a number of us cities off guard mainly because we needed the following information:
1. What was the cutoff date that determines the mailout universe?
2. What is the definition of "historically mid-range" census tracts that received the second mailing?
3. How can we assure residents that there form was not lost/destroyed/misplaced?
A second mailing gives the impression that you are receiving it because the Bureau never received it in the first place. Our suggestion for 2020. Set the cutoff date publicly, mailout to historically HTC tracts, and go out and help people fill out the form and skip the coffee mugs

Actually, I would like to go back to the long form. For a fast-growing city the ACS doesn't cut it. The sample size is too small for the year to year to be accurate (one example: undercount of children by 10,000 25%!) The multi-year has also proven hard to use, not able to capture/reflect the quickly changing demographics. We've ended up pulling some data from here, some from there, and publishing only %s in other areas. At least with a long form we'd have one accurate year to balance the ACS against.
I agree with the previous statement about LUCA... but I'd also urge a complete overhaul of PSAP. PSAP especially was a nighmare we HAVE the accurate data, but it wouldn't integrate/couldn't be used.
One other thing that isn't mentioned on lessons learned that I have heard many times from many people: internal Census divisions that wouldn't communicate with each other or their city liaison, let alone coordinate efforts, made it very inefficient and even uncomfortable at times for both staff and for us (municipality). Yes, continue the partnership program it was helpful but it was only 20% as effective as it could have been.

these "difficult fiscal times" need not be difficult if only the Congress made corporations pay a fair tax, in many cases they are paying no taxes at all. Also, how about those at the top, pay their share too, getting rid of the Bush tax cuts surely will not make the millionaires and billionaires suffer financially. If everyone must "tighten" our belts, then let EVERYONE mean EVERYONE, including(if not starting) with those at the top, please pass this on to the Congress and President. Thank you Director Groves.
