New Orleans has had a near 30% drop in population over ten years. Find the US census 2010 data for Louisiana here• Get the dataNew Orleans has seen its population drop by nearly 30% over the last 10 years according to data released last week by the US Census.Despite a -29.1% drop in population in the city, partly put down to the destruction of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the state of Louisiana as a whole has had an increase in population. The state has grown by over 64,000 during the last ten years according to the latest census figures. New Orleans city recorded a population of 343,829 in 2010 – a decrease of 140,845 from the last census in 2000. Opelousas in the St.Landry Parish is another city that has seen a dramatic decrease with a -27.2% drop over the last decade.The graphic below by Finbarr Sheehy shows clearly that despite a few large decreases - those in red - many parishes have seen a growth in numbers leading to a 1.4% increase for Louisiana.The census data also recorded a 1.8% increase in Louisana of those identifying themselves as Hispanic and Latino.Amongst those seeing a rise of over 20% in population were Ascension Parish, Livingston Parish, Tangipahoa Parish and St. Tammany Parish.Whilst we await the results of the UK census due to take place this year, the US census has given a breakdown by the states in this great interactive showing population density and the change since 1910.

- Are hurricanes getting worse because of global warming?
Models suggest that there may be fewer, but more powerful, hurricanes as the world warms• See all questions and answers• Read about the projectThere's tremendous variation in hurricane activity over time and from place to place. Various studies published since 2005 indicate that the number and/or strength of hurricanes have increased in various regions, especially since the 1970s. However, it's likely that some hurricanes at sea went unnoticed in the days before satellites and hurricane-hunter aircraft, and that complicates the assessment. There's no doubt, though, that hurricane activity has stepped up since the mid-1990s in the North Atlantic, where ocean temperatures have risen through long-term warming and an apparent multidecadal cycle in Atlantic currents. The tropics are part of a global trend toward ocean warming that goes hand in hand with atmospheric warming, and warm oceans provide the energy to drive hurricanes. As for the future, computer models tend to point towards fewer hurricanes overall (for reasons that aren't yet firmed up) but a general strengthening of winds and rainfall in the hurricanes that do form. Trends aside, a catastrophic storm can strike in any year, and it's impossible to tie any single hurricane or other weather event directly to global warming. Take Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged New Orleans in 2005. Several hurricanes of comparable strength have been observed across the Atlantic over the past century. And the horrific damage caused to the city was the result not only of Katrina's strength but also the storm's track, the weakness of levees and many other factors. That said, the waters of the Gulf of Mexico that fuelled Katrina were at near-record warmth at the time.This is an extract from The Rough Guide to Climate Change by Robert H モデルは、少ないがあるかもしれないことを示唆している、より強力な、•すべての質問•は、時間の経過や場所から場所へのハリケーンの活動のprojectThereの大きな変動についての記事を読むの回答を参照してください温め世界としてハリケーン
- Josh busts Politico | Michael Tomasky
This is one of the must-read blog posts of all time, by Josh Marshall about the Politico. Contained within it: everything that goes wrong with the Politico, which I basically respect (and certainly read) but which too often is too eager to Drudge-ify its copy so that Drudge gives them prominent links; and everything that's excellent and necessary about TPM. And by the way, happy tenth anniversary to TPM. I've been reading it since the beginning. I don't read many things and think, that is exactly what I would have done. But TPM is pretty much exactly the site I would have created. The difference is Josh did, and I didn't.Anyway, as to the substance of the matter, there are two jaw-dropping things about the story: 1, that Republican aides are today spinning it in a way that is completely divorced from the facts of what actually happened (well, now that I put it that way, I see that it is not remarkable at all); 2, that Politico ran with this so blithely.I don't want to start a whole debate about the media again. Well, maybe I do. Those of you who insist the media are liberal-liberal-liberal are of course describing things as you honestly see them, but I think you're failing to make a crucial distinction, which is as follows.The media are generally liberal when it comes to social values. Christian conservatives and tea partiers are indeed painted as a little loopy. Transgendered athletes and so on are generally portrayed sympathetically. No denying that form of general bias.But when it comes to capital-P Political stories, the capital-P political media have two chief characteristics: one, they mostly go with the flow; two, they want conflict.In 2008, the flow was with Obama. Now it's mostly against him. In 2002, the flow was decidedly with Dubya. Then, after Katrina, it w これは、-政治についてのジョシュマーシャルのすべての時間のブログの記事を読まなければならないの一つです

- The census numbers | Michael Tomasky
So the new census numbers are out today, and politically, it's all good short-term news for the Republicans, because of the gains in the (grrrrr) South. Ezra Klein has a list, which actually comes from Dave Weigel, showing the number of House seats gained and lost by certain states:The gainers: Arizona +1Florida +2Georgia +1Nevada +1South Carolina +1Texas +4Utah +1Washington +1The losers:Illinois -1Iowa -1 Louisiana -1Massachusetts -1Michigan -1Missouri -1New Jersey -1New York -2Ohio -2Pennsylvania -1You can see that most of the gainers are GOP controlled, and most of the losers are Democratic-leaning states. And even the most heavily Republican state on the losers list, Louisiana, is losing its seat because of the post-Katrina exodus; in other words, it lost city dwellers, so the one heavily Democratic area of the state is the area that shrank.I should say that we don't yet seem to know exactly where these gains were inside these states. For example, if the Texas pickup is largely the result of Latinos, that may mean more Democratic seats in Texas. However, this will now give Texas 38 electoral votes next time around instead of 34, and those votes are certainly going to the Republican in 2012 .The way I count it, and I'm honestly not sure if I'm doing this right, based on these changes Obama is down 12 electoral votes from 2008 if every state votes the same. Right? States Obama lost gain six seats, while states he won lose six seats. Well, 12 is a lot. That's a problem. Of course he's starting from a rather large cushion. He got 365 electoral votes last time, and you're no less the president if you get 300 or 282 or even 270.Could it be that northerners are moving down south and changing the character of the place? Good God, let's hope so. That certainly seems to have 新しい年の国勢調査番号だから、今日からは政治的には、（grrrrr）南の利益のために、共和党のすべての良い短期的なニュースだ

- Lower Ninth | Theatre review
Trafalgar Studios, LondonThe Donmar Warehouse has moved into this Whitehall studio for a 12-week season to promote the work of young directors. Charlotte Westenra, the first beneficiary, has come up with a fine, well-acted production of a 70-minute play by Beau Willimon. However, though set during the trauma of Hurricane Katrina, it ultimately lacks real drama.Willimon appears to have taken a hint from Paul Chan's alfresco Waiting for Godot, performed in the hard-hit ninth ward of New Orleans. He shows us two African-Americans stranded on a rooftop, hoping for rescue, the corpse of a friend at their feet. Malcom, a tough guy turned Bible student, and his young companion, E-Z, bicker, banter and play guessing games to pass the time. What emerges is an uneasy father-son relationship, relieved by Malcom's occasional retelling of Bible stories – the best of which offers an alternative version of the Flood in which Noah becomes the ultimate black survivor.But Willimon resorts to one particularly desperate dramatic device, easily guessable from the programme, to keep the situation going. And it strikes me as bizarre that his two characters hardly refer to the one subject that would be uppermost on their minds: the staggering federal and civic incompetence that saw so many lives sacrificed.The pleasure lies in the performance. Ray Fearon as Malcom displays a formidable power that suggests he could have punched something more than a Bible in his time, and Anthony Welsh is full of raw anger as the younger man. Despite Westenra's vividly atmospheric production, though, Willimon's play is a self-conscious piece that tells us little about the criminal negligence behind the disaster.Rating: 3/5TheatreHurricane KatrinaNatural disasters and extreme weatherMichael Billingtonguardi トラファルガースタジオ、LondonTheドンマーギャラリーは、若い監督の作品を促進するための12週間は、シーズンに向けて、このホワイトスタジオに移動しています
- 'In a terrible way this is a portent of things to come and a warning'
The author of Wild at Heart, Barry Gifford, whose books are set in the American South, talks about the man-made horrors that have ravaged the Louisiana coastWhen Hurricane Katrina wrecked the Louisiana coast, it wasn't the wind that created disaster in itself, but the floods which surged over the levees and washed across the wetlands in its wake.Now the region has been hit by a second disaster, an oil slick. A different kind of flood this time, a thick, black flood of crude oil that approaches the coastline, threatening the wildlife and the fragile ecosystem of the wetlands of Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta.For years I lived in New Orleans, right in the French Quarter. It's a very special place and unique for its cultural mix, derived from the people who have settled there over the centuries.And I've spent a lot of time along the coast; spent summers there fishing. I have fond memories of St Bernard Parish, of Delacroix Island in particular. It's a famous place, an area of outstanding natural beauty where the Spanish Cajun settled to become planters and fisherman.These places will never be the same.They say that the well could take months to plug, that the spill could eclipse the Exxon Valdez disaster, which devastated Alaska in 1989. And to have this new disaster visited upon the same residents as were hit by Hurricane Katrina, an area that even today looks like it has been hit by some nuclear holocaust – well, one might ask: What does God have against New Orleans? But God has nothing to do with it. This accident was entirely man-made.We court disaster every time we drill offshore. Such accidents are always a possibility with this kind of construction, yet the oil company responsible has had to throw its hands up and turn to the government.

- Haiti's plight can bind US and Cuba | Steve Clemons
Following the earthquake in Haiti, the US and Cuba should cast aside their differences to help their troubled neighbourIn Latin America, Cuba stands out as one of the most effective deployers of soft power. Rather than exporting revolution, Cuba today exports doctors – with more than 30,000 Cuban doctors working in more than 100 underdeveloped countries around the world.Cuba has become a marquis provider of catastrophe-related medical assistance around the world, particularly after tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes – and no doubt will send large contingents of medical personnel to earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Moving beyond the cold war stasis in US-Cuba relations is a priority of Barack Obama's administration, and the devastation in Haiti provides a platform to provide relief for a desperate nearby nation and build collaboration between Cuba and the US.Many great American voices from Brent Scowcroft and George Shultz to Jackson Browne and Bill Richardson have argued that the US-Cuba embargo makes no sense as foreign policy, that the right of Americans to travel anywhere in the world should not be suspended in the case of Cuba, that Cuba's exports of doctors rather than arms should be more than enough reason to strike Cuba off America's watch list of state sponsors of terror.But to effect change in a relationship as historically toxic as that of Fidel Castro's Cuba and 11 US presidents will require certain narratives.One such narrative could evolve from tying American resource co-ordination and financial support in a regional multilateral effort with other Latin American nations – particularly Cuba's deep bench of natural disaster-experienced medical corps.After Hurricane Katrina pounded New Orleans and southern Mississippi, Fidel Castro offered relief support from a 1,6 ハイチ、米国とキューバでの地震の後に問題を抱えたneighbourInラテンアメリカを支援する、キューバの1つのソフトパワーを最も効果的なデプロイヤとして際立っている、その違いはさておきキャストする必要があります
