non-hispanic black, etc) since it is quite clear that this statistic is useful for many purposes, including civil rights legislation. In 1990, when "Hispanic" was distinguished as an "ethnic group", they did something similary, albeit less widespread. In 1980, the first time "Hispanic" was used as a category, the non-hispanic white population was not disaggregated, making almost all of those figures extremely difficult to analyze, forcing a person to look at the breakdown of the self-reported race of those who marked "Hispanic", then subtracting those who mark "white". I'm not absolutely sure where you're getting tract data broken down by race (I'd actually like to know for my own research), but I'm thinking it's probably there. Who knows though, the race/ethnicity seperation can be extremely cumbersome for particular ethnic groups. --

which is quite different from the Caspian, which is a remnant of the world ocean which got isolated when Africa collided with Eurasia. Its twin, the Black Sea, was not connected to the World Sea until 7000 (?) years ago (the connection, by the way, is over land), and over the past few million years the Mediterranean Sea was also sealed off at the Straights of Gibraltar a couple times. Sometimes people describe them as being giant lakes at those times, but I don't know if they mean this seriously, or if it's poetic license for a lay audience. (The Mediterranean is sometimes poetically called a lake today, and more often people have spoken of saline lakes on the ocean

the Knowledge Gini Index page so that other people can access it. This plot is a really beautiful compilation and presentation of Gini data, and I'm sure that lots of people would love to play with the raw data (especially given the current prominence of the Occupy Wall Street movement), but either cannot figure out how to request it, or like me, are a little hesitant to ask a busy Knowledge editor to take the time to send it out to them individually. Please consider making this raw data available to all Knowledge readers in a very easy-to-access form. Thanks for considering my request.

and about 42% identify racially as "Hispanic" by selecting "Other" as their racial group and then writing in a Hispanic national origin or pan-ethnic label. I guess in the end it's up to you. Most of the work done regarding modern demographics (post-1990 census) uses non-Hispanic White figures instead of "White" figures. My opinion is that it's misleading to say "White" without stating that it includes Hispanic whites, simply because that accounts for something like 6-7% of all of those who identify as White. Ah, long comment, I apologize. Let me know what you think. --

I have found some historical maps showing the area, but as the Republic was never a formal entity, the area the so-called Republic covered is somewhat vague. Certainly it included present-day Edmundston NB, and Madawaska ME, and probably most or all of the Madawaska River basin. I have some historical maps of the area, if that would help, but am not much of a cartographer myself. Let me know if these would help, and I'll upload them into the Commons. Thanks, and feel free to contact me on my talk page. 132:) is a bit unclear in my opinion. The sentence about the distance of the horizon increasing by the square root of x when ascending x units makes little to no sense when looking at the graph. Going from 2m to 200m you go from seeing 5km to 50km, but according to mentioned sentence an ascent of 198 meters would increase the view by 14 meters, or, if there is a confusion of m/km 14km, which still does not add up. The correct calculation would be distance seen in km equals the square root of altitude in meters times 12.7 (or d(mi)=√ 762: 3697: 3609: 3471: 3309: 3096: 3023: 2950: 2877: 1627:

I think the confusion here is that the important difference between 2m and 200m is a factor of 100 -- the absolute difference of 198m is not what you use to calculate. So, with a factor of 100 difference between 2m and 200m, the square root of 100 is 10, so the distance to the horizon increases by a

In regards to the "White American" question, the reason for using non-hispanic white as an indication of "White" america is because for most civil rights purposes in order to designate a segment of the population which has historically been discriminated against as a "non-white" group.

Actually, I'm thinking a Non-Hispanic White map would be pretty easy to create.

Citynoise, do you think a Non-Hispanic White population map would be more representative of the "White American" population? A vast majority of Hispanics identify as "White" for the census, so it might be good to tease out this group if you are going to have a "Hispanic" population map. Let me know

group. However, the census calls "White" a racial group. Although it is interesting to see how many "Hispanics" identify as "White", this is really beside the point of most uses of census data related to the Hispanic population. Indeed, something like 48% of Hispanics identify racially as "White",
