Thankfully there have been no problems in the human population in the area (where the dog was found).

Native Americans have a lot more cardiovascular disease than the population in general, but what we don't know is how much of their increased risk is due to their genetic background and how that background is modified by Western lifestyles and environmental factors.

Look at what he was able to do in a time of crisis. The black population was only about 10 percent, but he was able to put in front the agenda of a minority and the needs of those 10 percent and how it limited a country that's supposed to be the cradle of democracy.

Look at the population pyramid and look at where land is available. From here forward, the housing that's going to be built in Southern California will have to happen here ... I don't see a limit.

Look at our population here. People come from all over the country: urban areas, rural areas, suburban areas. We also have international students here. If you look at the national statistics, and you look at correlation and probability, that means that possibly one in 200 students here could be HIV positive.

I think people are forgetting that we have a growing population that we need to inform.

I think part of it is the facility (and) part of it has to do with the population in Poway. It has so many children, so it gets a lot of use.

The American population is continuing to diversify, and Hispanics have become a very important part of the sports economy,

The assumption is 'Oh, everybody has books and they're all going to read them tomorrow.' But there are those among our resident regular population who do not have that skill, and it's a tremendous disadvantage.

The Asian immigrant population in the US is actually the fastest growing segment in part because it is smaller to start with than the Hispanic population but nevertheless it is definitely growing very fast.

That will allow us to fingerprint the otters to determine the minimum amount of otter in a stretch. That will really help us refine our population model.

The 1980s was the last decade of large suburban expansion. The '90s were a re-sorting era, with the central city gaining population after decades of decline. Now we're in a decade trending toward a fairly large-scale re-sorting of the housing market away from the far reaches of suburbia.

That's the kind of thing that gives hunting a bad name, and makes our ability to use hunting as an effective population management tool much less effective.

That's the reality in the Catholic Church today: You don't want to build something that will be OK for now, when you know this large population is going to get bigger.

That saves us money in the long run by reducing the pet population and reducing expenses.

I was born in Breslau on October 5th, 1930. At that time, Breslau, now called Wroclaw, belonged to Germany, and only German was spoken there. After the Second World War, Breslau became Polish, and the original German population was almost completely replaced by a Polish one. I have never visited Wroclaw after the war.

I was appalled that our own state government could so ruthlessly target teenage gamblers and view them as the gambling population of the future.

Most of the jobs created were full-time, the employment rate (percentage of the population 16 years of age and over) remains near all-time highs at 62.7, while the participation rate found a way to rise by 0.1 percentage point to 67.2, again near an all-time high.

Most Georgians benefit from electric reliability and rates that are better than the national average. We are able to keep up with population and per capita energy use because thousands of property owners and community leaders work with us to build these lines. This teamwork is one of the state's untold success stories.

We have people moving here to take teaching jobs. They need to understand the population they're working with.

We have one county with 20 percent of the (district's) population and that's Rock Island County. We have to field a candidate that can carry Rock Island County.

Will the new population demand that the cultural feel of the French Quarter, the Garden District and the rest stay the same? ... Or will they be OK with a lot of new shopping malls taking over? Who knows?

When it comes to the population explosion, there are two questions on the table. One, is our population growth going to kill us all? And two, is there any ethical way to prevent that from happening?

We realized that the graph does not represent the population increase.

We're always hopefully planning ahead of the population curve. Right now, we have several schools that are fairly populated.

We have such a mobile population that these things can be carried long distances,

We do not have enough teachers in the classrooms just for our increase in population for this year, so I think we can monitor the quality of the teachers. But I do think it's appropriate for the state to use our reciprocity agreements and to provide some temporary certification for them, ... We're seeing a dramatic increase by the way in the number of students. It doubled yesterday. I think it went from 1,000 to 2,400 in one day. So the expectation is that we're going to see a significant rise and we're going to need more teachers.

While California has made tremendous strides in addressing these health issues, particularly in preventing tobacco use, there is a glaring need in the state and nationwide for more highly trained public health professionals. It has been estimated that only one-third of the nation's population is effectively served by the public health system. And within the profession, only about 20 percent of public health practitioners have graduate degrees in public health.

Whether you look at it from the fair chase issue and say it's not fair to be able to take a farmed animal and kill it - we don't call it hunting - whether you disapprove of that or are afraid for the deer population as a whole because of disease or are just concerned about the integrity of our hunting heritage, people better go talk to their legislators.

We're creating these massive urban areas in the Third World. It's like you take the entire population of California and put it in one city. Then you remove basic sanitation and medical services, and you have a ticking biological time bomb.

We're certainly not anywhere near to experiencing what the people to the east and to the west of us are. I think that's largely due to the fact that Big Bend is isolated geographically from most of Texas and Mexico as well. There's not a population base in Mexico to the south of the park and the roads are not good. It's an isolated, rugged, hard environment.

We really want to get the people who wouldn't walk into the building. The population we want to work with doesn't leave their neighborhood.

We don't have a large population base. There are some real limitations because we don't have the numbers.

We have some of the busiest roads in the county and one of the biggest daily population of non-residents because the county courts is in our midst but we don't see enough Nassau cops policing the village.

We have some discretionary funds based on need or merit. We thought the need for this program was there because of the growing Hispanic population in Logansport schools.

We can wait until everything is perfect but how much time will that take? One year, two years, three years? Will the population accept this even though they haven't had a chance to vote for 40 years?

We are the future. Our population is increasing a lot.

When you're in grizzly country, you're in the wildest country we have left in North America. When there's a healthy population of bears, it's an indication that the ecosystem is healthy. That country is going to be wild. It's going to be as pristine as it can be in the modern age.

We've met with the University of Arizona and Raytheon and they're very supportive of what we're doing. They recognize that the population is aging and, if you look at the projections, there simply won't be enough workers for the jobs we'll have. So, it makes sense to turn to the age-50-plus workforce.

With the exception of Rwanda in 1994 and Cambodia in 1975, you would be hard-pressed to find a crime scene anywhere in the world, since World War II, where a defenseless civilian population has been assaulted with such ferocity and criminal intent, and suffered so many multiple violations of international humanitarian law in such a short period of time, as in Kosovo since mid-March 1999,

With the escalation of select teams boom, a huge slice of the population is out of the mix.

We're really not reaching out to a percentage of the population that is afraid to talk to the authorities. We want to make another avenue available so people feel less threatened if they're feeling threatened with authorities. Hopefully, someone will find it in their heart to step up and do the right thing and give us the opportunity to find our daughter and get her back to us.

We have an increase of population of 500,000 people a year, ... That means 5 million more people in 10 years?. If we cannot provide for the people already now, with 37 million, how can we provide for 42 million?

We have an ageing population and the demand for elective surgery continues to increase, which provides us with a real challenge,

We had one man out there trying to snag the flag with a fishing pole, since we couldn't use the rope to bring down the Mexican flag. I think all of our residents were upset about this, and we have a very diversified population here.

Well over a hundred million people live within a two-and-a-half hour radius. That is almost forty percent of the population of America.

Today the reason why the human population is increasing is because of the attitude of the people.

Today there are fewer interactions between the fishing community and population as a whole, partly because there are fewer fisherman. But we've also changed. We're not truly rural anymore, in the sense of the occupations you now find here. We tend to be a lot of urban people living in small towns.

We neither had the population or economic base that would support a team. The city didn't have the kind of wealth it needed. It didn't have a large enough middle class to pay the type of prices for NFL tickets ... some of that story has changed.

We neither had the population or economic base that would support a team, ... The city didn't have the kind of wealth it needed. It didn't have a large enough middle class to pay the type of prices for NFL tickets ... some of that story has changed.

We need information from the department heads as soon as possible. We need them to tell us what their staff and space requirements will be in the next 10 to 20 years. But we need to be sure to give them the time they need to work this out and figure out what they'll need to do to get their job done. Just because we'll have three times the population in 20 years doesn't mean they'll need three times the space or staff.

The masses of Negroes...particularly in the South, still breed carelessly and disasterously, with the result that the increase among Negroes, even more than among whites, is from that portion of the population least intelligent and fit...

We are not trying now to carry out any major ground attack, ... The job consists of liquidating the terrorist groups and not allowing any more loss of lives among the civilian population and the Russian military. The way this is done depends on the situation.

We followed every standard protocol for hurricanes, but the flooding was just astronomical. Twenty to 50 percent of the population (of New Orleans) had not evacuated. That's going to take a while to ramp up the rescue operations and support operations. It just doesn't happen in the blink of an eye.

We need to allow for the return of refugees, to allow for the deployment of international troops to protect the refugees and the population of Kosovo,

The predominant trend had been that people thought that fish have a powerful effect on their environment, and they drive the changes in everything else. What we've seen is the reverse, that fish are responding to a change in their habitat. We think that a lot of fish communities are fundamentally changed by fishing. Our study is really nice in that we are working on populations that have never been fished, so their population dynamics can be seen being driven by natural processes.

The problems caused by population are still environmental news, but population is forgotten.

Water quality is not good enough for salmon recovery and we absolutely need to address it - especially now, given the fact that we are expecting much more population growth in the Puget Sound region.

We know that children under 18 are about half of the population in the affected areas. And therefore we think that about half of the victims, either injured or the dead, have been children.

The agreement with Network Health offers us the opportunity to help even more individuals in our home state confidently navigate the healthcare system.

The payments from the government are not covering the cost of caring for this population group.
