From my colleague Joshua Comenetz at the Census Bureau--fascinating data!
The Census Bureau has added to and updated the online collection of subnational population data linked to maps (shapefiles) that are available at the Spatial Data Repository. The Repository contains a variety of data and maps primarily for countries that receive assistance via the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

The American Panel Survey (TAPS)
This announcement will be of interest to those working in public opinion and survey research.
The Weidenbaum Center of Washington University in St. Louis announces the creation of The American Panel Survey (TAPS).
TAPS is a panel survey in which a national probability sample of about 2000 panelists will be reinterviewed online each month, beginning in the fall of 2011. Initial plans for TAPS extend surveys for five years. Among the many virtues of the TAPS survey is the accumulation of substantial amounts of information on each respondent, the ability to analyze individual-level change, the possibility of conducting randomized experiments within the survey, including using audio and video interventions - all within the context of a state-of-art, nationally representative sample. A wide variety of social science research - not just limited to law and politics - can be conducted using TAPS.
