That is because of the granddaddy of all government programs, the census, a house-by-house head count of the population conducted every 10 years since 1790. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_census-hiring-set-to-boost-job-gains.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:09 GMT Census hiring set to boost job gains no clean 6:06 Patrice Hill census,hiring,set,boost,job,gains 11143977 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_sanders-no-reset-no-restart-no-deal-with-moscow.mp3?TC=11143977&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_sanders-no-reset-no-restart-no-deal-with-moscow.mp3 ANALYSIS/OPINION: "Reset" is the trendy way the Obama administration describes its Russian efforts. In his "comprehensive" approach, Mr. Obama reversed Condoleezza Rice's foreign policy aphorism, "neglect Russia." Instead, the Obama administration has gone crashing ahead, trying to set up a new relationship with an extremely fragile Moscow regime. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_sanders-no-reset-no-restart-no-deal-with-moscow.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT SANDERS: No reset, no restart ? no deal with Moscow� no clean 6:07 Sol Sanders sanders,no,reset,no,restart,,no,deal,moscow� 11143978 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_kralev-hilton-intercontinental-cross-swords.mp3?TC=11143978&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_kralev-hilton-intercontinental-cross-swords.mp3 Fierce competition in the hospitality business is nothing new, but last week one of the world's largest hotel companies took the game to a new level with a bold move aimed at enticing customers of a major competitor. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_kralev-hilton-intercontinental-cross-swords.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT KRALEV: Hilton, InterContinental cross swords no clean 6:31 Nicholas Kralev On The Fly kralev,hilton,intercontinental,cross,swords 11143979 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_05_more-data-revisions-raise-more-concern.mp3?TC=11143979&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_more-data-revisions-raise-more-concern.mp3 OPINION/ANALYSIS: A few weeks ago I touched on how a simple revision in the data we as investors track can be restated and was once considered a positive data point can become the opposite.
