It’s Week 8 on America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5! BakitWhy.com heads out to Burbank, CA to check in with the five remaining dance crews. Our crew's working it backstage - Melly’s taking photos and Kaywan’s handling video while Joe interviews Blueprint Cru, Hype 5-0, and Saltare. Joe talks me into interviewing Jungle Boogie who, BTW, likes to initiate people they meet by assigning them jungle animals. How cool! As we head back to the media room to watch the show, Joe turns to me and says, “Something’s different about this week. I feel a lot of nerves.”

Hmmm… will the crews rise to the occasion or will their nerves have them ushered off the stage?

Get it? Because it’s Usher Week!

Almost all of us have gone through this experience: filling out a school/job application or information for a website you're signing up for, and you come to the race question.

For some Pilipinos, it's as easy as: "I'm Asian. Duh. Check."

For others, it goes more like this: "Hmm, Pacific Islander seems just about right, I'm not Asian. Che -- hmm. Pilipino isn't under Pacific Islander. Guess I'll have to go with Asian then."

This week, more than 120 million U.S. Census 2010 forms will begin arriving in mailboxes around the country. These forms are for the once-a-decade population count that’s mandated by the U.S. Constitution of all the residents of the United States – including both citizens and non-citizens. In addition to determining the number of Seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives and setting boundaries for legislative and congressional districts, Census data are used to allocate over $400 Billion in Federal Funds as well as to determine locations for retail stores, schools, hospitals, new housing developments, and other community facilities.
