Detroit’s population drops by one-fourth in the last decade
Thursday, March 24, 2011 Figures released by the U.S. 2010 census on Wednesday show that the city of Detroit has lost approximately 238,270 people, one-fourth of its total, since 2000. Detroit, once one of the top five U.S. cities in population, has its lowest number of residents since 1910. Population numbers affect the the amount of federal and state funding a city receives. In the last few decades, dozens of Michigan state laws have been passed allowing Detroit, because its population was at least 750,000, special measures to raise revenue and allocating it a larger share of Michigan’s state revenue than its population warranted. Now that Detroit’s population has fallen to 713,777, it is no longer eligible for these financial advantages. “Except for New Orleans after Katrina, it’s basically the largest drop for a U.S. city in history. The mayor of Detroit, Dave Bing plans to appeal the census results.…

UK electoral commission asked to investigate News International payoffs
Thursday, August 25, 2011 The United Kingdom electoral commission has been asked to investigate whether payments made by News International to Andy Coulson amidst the recent phone hacking scandal were illegal. Labor MP Tom Watson, who has been a driving force in the phone hacking scandal, called for the investigation after he believed that payments and benefits made to Coulson, including private health benefits and a company car, should have been declared as a political donation. Mr Watson has reportedly been trying to uncover whether Coulson declared these payments to the cultures committee upon applying for access to parliament. MPs are bewildered by Prime Minister David Cameron’s hiring of Coulson without anyone looking into his financial history, and many have expressed outrage as the reports contradict evidence given by the former News of The World editor to the culture committee in 2009. He allegedly told the committee that he had…
Why Is Online Homework Help Beneficial?
More On This Topic: Academy Of Film, Theatre & Television Submitted by: Sean Conoly Nowadays, students are bombarded with assignments. This is because assignments are considered by educational institutions, both schools and colleges as the means of judging the understanding of students. Earlier, parents were helping children to complete their assignments. But, most of the present day parents of college children are not aware of computers and so they are not in a position to help. In addition, even though, students can understand different computer subjects like C++ and Java, the problem is that when they get assignments in all these subjects, it becomes difficult for them to complete the work within a few days of vacation. This is where C++ assignment help and Java assignment help can be of great help to them. Not only for these two subjects, they can also find help for visual basic homework and…

Saturday, June 4, 2005 On Friday, the U.S. military released the results of their investigation and confirmed that in 5 separate incidents, American guards at the Guantánamo Bay prison “mishandled” the Islamic holy book. However, they stress that guards were usually “respectful” of the Qur’an. One incident involved splashing a Qur’an with urine by urinating near an air vent while others involved kicking, stepping on and writing in Qur’ans. Brigadier-General Jay Hood, the commander of the jail, said that these incidents are the exception to the rule. In a statement issued late Friday, he said: “The inquiry … revealed a consistent, documented policy of respectful handling of the Qur’an dating back almost two-and-a-half years.” Gen. Hood looked into the allegations, published and then retracted by Newsweek, that American personnel flushed a Qur’an down a toilet. He said that the inquiry did not find any evidence supporting this particular allegation. “The…
