Measure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In mathematics, a measure is a way to assign non-negative real numbers to subsets of a given set, in order to "measure their sizes or probabilities". Measures are also called bars, since measures are separated by vertical bars (called bar lines) in musical notation. In civics, a measure is a legislative bill, a ballot measure, or enactment. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Measure   (240 words)

Experimental Poverty Measures: 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) The measures presented here and in the Census Bureau experimental poverty measures report are based on the work of a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) panel, which published a report in 1995 with a series of recommendations concerning improving the official poverty measure (see Citro and Michael, 1995). Each measure is adjusted separately and the factors vary depending upon the difference between the experimental measure and the official measure in 1997. While the measure updated with the CE appear to be above the measure updated for price changes over this time period, increases from 1990 to 1993 and overall decreases in poverty rates across the period from 1993 to 1998 are not statistically different using the two measures. www.census.gov /hhes/poverty/povmeas/exppov/exppov.html   (2215 words)

DomainsAreFree - Definition of Link Popularity Link popularity ("link pop") is a measure of the quantity and quality of other web sites that link to a specific site on the World Wide Web. Link popularity assumes that not all incoming links are equal, as an inbound link from a major directory carries more weight than an inbound link from an obscure personal home page. To increase link popularity, many webmasters interlink multiple domains that they own, but this is false play, as such links are not independent votes for a page and are only created to trick the search engines. www.domainsarefree.com /glossary/Link_popularity.html   (696 words)

Boston.com / News / Local / Foes of gay marriage try long shot The lone sponsor of the measure -- Representative Emile J. Goguen, Democrat of Fitchburg -- said he sees the "bill of address" as a tool to pressure members of the court to reconsider their landmark 4-3 decision or risk losing their judgeships. While he acknowledged that the bill's fate is uncertain at best, Goguen said he hoped the measure would pressure the court to reconsider its ruling or simply nullify it. However, Camenker said, virtually all lawmakers he and his allies met with were reluctant to push the measure until April 27, when the vast majority of lawmakers learn if they will be opposed in the fall elections. www.boston.com /news/local/articles/2004/04/20/foes_of_gay_marriage_try_long_shot   (536 words)

BlueOregon: Big News Day The state attorney general issued an opinion Tuesday that exemptions to land-use laws granted by Measure 37 cannot simply be transferred to a new owner, leaving unanswered legal questions about efforts to turn farmland into housing developments. That means that property owners who have proposed housing developments under terms of Measure 37 would not be able to sell their property to developers to make improvements but would have to hold on to the property until the changes are finished. So long as the Measure 37 applicant controls/owns the land, they can do what they want, but as soon as they sell, there is a reversion of law. www.blueoregon.com /2005/03/big_news_day.html   (3568 words)
