Review: Ken Jennings, "Maphead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks"
September 21, 2011 by BHodges
Title: Maphead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks
Author: Ken Jennings
Publisher: Scribner
Genre: Geography
ISBN13: 978-1-4391-6717-5
"I think that the constant study of maps is apt to disturb men's reasoning powers," Lord Salisbury, p. 207.
You have to wonder if Ken Jennings's parents realized their son was a different sort of fellow when he chose to sleep with a World Atlas next to his pillow, rather than your average child's teddy bear. As far back as he can remember he's loved maps. While researching for his new book, Maphead, Jennings discovered he wasn't alone. "Cartophilia" is alive and well, and Jennings hopes to spread the love: "If you never open a map until you're lost," he insists, "you're missing out on all the fun" (120).
Jennings, a Mormon, achieved national fame during his record-setting winning streak on Jeopardy! in 2004. As you might expect, his trivia-saturated brain can't resist plugging a plethora of parenthetical factoids into every page. Americans can certainly use the refresher course. A 2002 National Geographic survey placed Americans next-to-last out of nine countries in place-name knowledge (42). Then there was this little debacle, perhaps more representative of our collective state of mapmind than we'd like to think (38). It's the sort of thing that led Alex Trebek himself to lament to Jennings: "It would be nice if Americans knew where a country was before we went to war with them" (126).
But this isn't really a book about simply being able to successfully point to places on a map (although he includes the charming story of little Lilly Gaskin, the twenty-one-month-old who could successfully point to about 130 countries on a map, p. 122). While I expected a trivia book—perhaps even a trivial book—Jennings manages to seamlessly weave fun factoids into compelling narratives about geography lovers.
Each chapter is built around a theme containing stories of a variety of mapheads. You'll meet John Hebert, the map division chief of the Library of Congress, curator of the largest collection of maps in the history of the human race (56). Hebert also chairs the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, the group who tried to excise instances of "Nigger" from the map in 1967 by replacing it with "Negro" (though "it's not like 'Dead Negro Creek' is a huge improvement" Jennings notes, p. 67). You'll be introduced to the weird world of map collectors, including E. Forbes Smiley III, a fellow who employed an X-Acto knife at various libraries in order to accumulate close to $3 million in map profits before a librarian busted him (93-95). Then there's Isaac Stewart, the guy who creates maps for Brandon Sanderson's fantasy books. (Sanderson, a Utahan, was chosen to complete Robert Jordan's popular Wheel of Time series). Stewart found that eye-balling coastlines looked too fake, so he spills some water on paper and looks at the blotch. One time he discovered a great pattern on a folding chair in a church basement (117). Then there's Louise McGregor, an elderly member of the Travelers' Century Club. To belong, you have to have traveled to at least 100 different countries. She prefers the most frightening places imaginable, getting itineraries by checking the State Department list of dangerous places (150). "What are you doing writing a book about geography if you've only been to twenty-nine countries," the incredulous woman asks Jennings (151).
Jennings spends time with kids at the National Geography Bee (which is where Alex Trebek dissed all of us). He talks to road geeks who notice differing fonts on various interstate road signs ("Look for the curved tail on the lowercase 'l'!"). He talks about border disputes, gender, brain science, pop culture, politics, history, and religion. In the course of researching for the book he even became addicted to geocaching, a treasure hunting game played by GPS owners all over the world—a pastime which Jennings sees as a human attempt to re-infuse the world with treasure and mystery. (He even takes his son along, entertained at the sight of him waving a GPS "back and forth in front of him at arm's length, like it's Fisher-Price's My First Dowsing Rod," p. 193).
This rhetorical coupling of a dowsing rod with a GPS device neatly depicts Jennings's approach to our current map culture. A drastically shifting culture, he argues. For centuries maps were created much the same, but today, he notes, "we live in a strange, shifting time for maps" (213). Many of us carry maps on our phones. We can zoom in, scroll, customize, and view actual overhead and street-view photographs. Our maps can vocally tell us where to go. Near the conclusion of the book Jennings takes us on a back-stage tour of Google Earth, where they hope to eventually provide "a centimeter-per-pixel real-time world map," the "end of resolution" as we know it (219). Despite these developments, he hopes that paper maps never fully die (234). He also hopes to instill a little of his map love in his children, and into anyone who reads his highly-entertaining book. To the mapheads he says 'you're not alone,' and to those who aren't mapheads he says, 'come join us':
"Maybe it makes some of us a little smug, to be so obviously superior to the unwashed masses who couldn't tell Equatorial Guinea from Papua New Guinea if their lives depended on it. But in my experience, most of us just want to be helpful…We're not as important a public utility as we were in the days before Google and GPS, but we're not going to change now. Deep down, we naively believe that everyone could fall in love with maps the way we did. They just haven't given them a chance yet" (55).
I'm going to go buy an atlas. One made out of real paper.

Anne Lazenby says:
I'm enough of a maphead that despite being a long-time lurker, I had to comment. My favorite souvenir I've ever purchased is a pocket atlas from 1947 so I'm going to have to check this out. Thanks for the review.
J. Stapley says:
Excellent. Ken is one of the funniest guys around. This sounds great.
Andrew S. says:
…But can Jennings tell us how many continents there are?
Aaron B says:
A Seattle bookstore hosted Ken last night, where he spoke about his book. He forced all in attendance to compete for a Ken Jennings bobblehead doll by testing our geography knowledge. Unfortunately, Ken was unable to discern that I answered most of the questions correctly first, and so should have walked off with the prize. This callous disregard for my genius was genuinely offensive, and so I refuse to buy his book.
Blair Hodges says:
I didn't include this in my review, but I recognized a bunch of personal ties to this book while reading it. A few examples: Jennings talks about the nightmarish navigation of Washington D.C., and having just moved to the area I could commiserate and admire. In the process of moving I purchased a GPS, so I was just getting used to the technology myself. We spent a good deal of time on the I-90 which pops up in the text. We passed near a few Centerville's, the name of the city from which I moved. I asked my wife how common she thought that name would be. The book puts it in the top 3 of the most commonly used city names in the country. The night I started reading the book I happened to catch part of the National Geography Bee on tv, entirely by accident. Then a friend in my new ward brought up the "Wheel of Time" book series the night before the book started discussing it. And a guy at a car dealership, upon learning the name of the book I was reading in his office, went off for about ten minutes about his own maplove. All these little confluences made the book all the more interesting to me. There were more examples, but this comment is already too long.
Wes Brown says:
Nice link, Andrew S. As a new social studies teacher, I'd like to share a fun/sad story from today.
As I'm grading map quizzes that cover the countries, rivers and lakes in the Northern part of Africa, I come across the following answers(gathered from several papers): U.S., Canada, Mississippi River, Great Lakes, Siberia, China, Mexico, and…the Pacific Ocean. No joke.
mapman says:
I've got to read this book.
Ken Jennings says:
If I can't sell a copy of this book to "mapman" I need to go get a real job.
Ardis E. Parshall says:
I get rid of a lot of books as I periodically have to weed my library, but I have never yet been able to part with an atlas. The more out of date they grow, the more fascinating they get. Not that I could win any trivia contest, but I love to dream over them.
Mommie Dearest says:
Cartophilia. So that's what they call it. I cannot go anywhere new without having a map along. If I haven't planned ahead, I manage to scare one up. When I come home, the geography from my *cartophila* pops up in my dreams. Trip planning usually involves big chunks of time browsing on Google Maps. I'm a bit of a slacker in my mobile phone technology, but I've looked into my future and seen a smart phone just for the map access.
I was an adult when I first travelled a lot in Mexico and I was amazed to find out that they have states! Just like us! Who knew? They are wonderful, diverse places. I'm disappointed that my American border-state public school education neglected to cover basic Mexican geography. Among other things.
Another must have book in my cart. I have that other kind of cartophilia too.
Ooo, did I mention Ken says a few naughty words in the book? Buyer beware!! We're talking borderline between PG and PG-13 here.
Now I'm trying to remember the naughty words.
Blair and I were talking about the relative lack of Mormon-related content in the book, but there is one connection I just thought of: Lilly Gaskin, the Oprah-approved geo-prodigy linked above, is LDS. She got into maps when her uncle left on a mission for Taiwan.
Aaron (#4): you'll have to pry a Ken Jennings bobblehead out of my cold, dead fingers.
RJH says:
I felt good about buying our current home in some measure because the previous owners had a 10′ long shelf with every UK Ordnance Survey map on it. I figured if they loved maps they were good people and probably looked after their home.
Sounds like a great book, Ken. You should see some of BCC John Hamer's fantasy maps.
Also, Ken, have you see this controversy over the map of Greenland?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/sep/22/times-atlas-reviews-greenland-map?newsfeed=true
Mark B. says:
When are you signing books in New York, Ken? As a lifelong cartophiliac (who knows the difference between Ghana, Guinea, Guyana and guano), I'll be there!
I'm in NYC right now doing some TV stuff, Mark B., but it all came together too late to schedule a signing, sadly. Er, you could sign up for the Singularity Summit next month…I'm signing there…
At the start of our interview, I apologized to Blair for the lack of LDS-specific content in the book, but I just thought of one church connection. The family of Lilly Gaskin, the Oprah-approved geo-prodigy mentioned above, is Mormon. She got interested in maps when her uncle got his mission call to Taiwan.
To be fair to HarperCollins, Greenland is pretty hard to map. There's still no consensus on whether it's even one island or many, due to the tricky matter of where sea level would intercept its various ups and downs were there no icecap. I guess we may find out one of these days…
Steve Evans says:
Thank goodness someone is FINALLY sticking up for HarperCollins!
Out of town for a wedding that weekend, Ken. You're gonna have to do better than that! : )
Cynthia L. says:
@16: I may not know the difference between Ghana, Guinea and Guyana, but I do know the difference between all of those and guano.
Harper is fine but, man, Collins. What a dick.
FoxyJ says:
When I was in high school I was on my school's "Geography Bowl" team; one year we won the county championship and got a helicopter tour of Ventura County as a prize. It was awewome. I am cheap and am on the waiting list for the book at my library. They did buy a second copy when it became obvious that demand was higher than they expected. I will buy it as soon as I save up enough points on my Amazon credit card :)
Are you coming to Utah for book signings? You should come to the Provo Library and do a signing–I think a lot of people would come to that.
Mostimportantly says:
Sleeping with a World Atlas next to your pillow? I can certainly relate. My favorite book as a kid was a coffee table book my parents had called "America from the Road". I had it memorized cover to cover by the time i was 8. Nothing irritated me more than watching kids older than me on "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" botch the map challenge at the end, especially when it was a US map! I went on to win the Geography Bee and Knowledge Bowl in Junior High but it has been a long time since I have studied maps. I am thrilled to get a copy of this. Is the Kindle edition okay? Or will I lack pictures, maps, etc?
Wow, BCC scooped Boing Boing. I'm impressed.
http://boingboing.net/2011/09/22/ken-jennings-is-a-maphead-and-unashamed-to-admit-it.html
btw- Ken, commenting on sites like boingboing and doing your IAMA on reddit raises your cool factor considerably. Not sure what commenting here does…
It raises my cool factor, 'cause he responded to my comment about footnotes.

My daughter has to write a 5 paragraph essay about how the Greenland map mistake article and the 5 themes of geography relate (partner report so she only has to do three: location, movement and I think regions). After going on a temple trip last night it was late and she was a little frustrated and didn't get very far.
Any 5-themes-of-geography-heads here? Help us out a little???

Lupe Fiasco Fans Gear Up For Protest
They're calling on Atlantic Records to release 'Lasers'
Fans of Lupe Fiascoare planning to protest outside of Atlantic Records on October 15 in support of Lupe's long-awaited album Lasers which the label are delaying.
17-year-old Matthew La Corte believes protesting outside of the record label will send a political message to executives.
He told Village Voice: "So what idea is Atlantic Records putting out? That it's okay to bring our children up with this music that's all about me going out and partying tonight? Is that really what we're all looking for?
"I think there's a lot of other things that rappers can be expressing, and the things that are on the radio are really do not reflect what this society is all about.
"That's why there's so much push behind Lupe, because he's really much more than just a rapper from Chicago. He represents a generation, and a movement.
Despite his stance, it seems La Corte has been less supportive of Lupe's career than he's making out however - at least finacially - saying:
"Did I buy his albums? No. I'll be honest, I did not buy the records, I just listened to them over the internet."

PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the influence of hyoid bone resection according to Sistrunk in early age due to a thyroglossal duct cyst on craniofacial growth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined 10 patients (2 females and 8 males) having had hyoid bone resection according to Sistrunk due to thyroglossal duct cysts by lateral cephalograms taken before orthodontic treatment (mean, 17.1 years; range, 8.6-31.9 years). Surgery was carried out at a mean age of 4.4 years (range, 0.37-9.8 years). All lateral cephalograms were evaluated and traced by hand. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and data from each patient were compared individually with corresponding standard values (age and gender) from Bathia and Leighton. RESULTS: With regard to sagittal parameters, the SNB angles were by trend too small and the ANB angles were too large. However, the ratio of mandibular to maxillary length showed that the patients had a mandible that was too large or maxilla that was too small. With regard to vertical parameters, large deviations from normal values in both directions (hyperdivergent to hypodivergent pattern) could be detected when we analyzed NSL/ML', NL/ML', and NSL/NL. With regard to dental parameters, the majority of the patients had retroclined upper (IsL/NL, IsL/N-A) and lower (IiL/ML, IiL/N-B) incisors. CONCLUSIONS: Several vertical and horizontal skeletal and dental cephalometric parameters were shown to be different by trend when compared with control values. A possible negative impact on craniofacial growth potential and direction as a result of hyoid resection in early age according to Sistrunk cannot be excluded.

From the get-go, it was very obvious that Delivered Social offered great insight, support, collaboration and a unique perspective on all our digital platforms, right through from our website and branding, to our social media and even our own digital assets. That first meeting was a great round up and critique of our online offerings as a business.
Delivered Social offered us so much advice. Most, if not all of it, was implemented within a week.
I think we had already signed up in our minds, before we even got to talking about costs and terms. We were filled with confidence that the Delivered Social team knew what they were talking about, and were what we needed to help drive and expand our online presence.
It's great to have the Delivered Social team working for us; each idea we have can be communicated to them using a variety of mediums, and the response is always quick. As our business is events-based, we meet with the team and decide on a campaign that is put into place – all scheduled ahead of time.
This gives us the ability to see all the posts right up to the event day, and allows us to tweak and change things as we progress. This degree of flexibility is a real asset to Delivered Social.
Delivered Social has really pushed us as a business to achieve all we can.
Since signing on the dotted line, our presence and following has grown to somewhere we never thought possible. We have had to increase the number of events we run and look at alternative types of events, including private ones! We continue to enjoy having Delivered Social on board, and are really looking forward to continuing the relationship with them into the coming years.

Oracle took a severe pounding in the server stakes in the last quarter of 2010, with EMEA shipments down 49% and revenues down 42%. However, having lost position in Q3 to NEC, the vendor did manage to claw its way back into Gartner's list of top five server vendors.
In a market that saw overall sales growth of 10%, Oracle made sales of $217m and accounted for 5.1% of the market, putting it in fifth place behind Fujitsu, Dell, IBM and HP. Big Blue and HP made sales of $1.3bn, up 19.2%, and $1.5bn, up 8.5%, respectively.
However, by Gartner's estimates Oracle shipped just over 10,900 servers in the region, representing a meagre 1.5% of the market.This reflected its struggles with the Sun Microsystems business and put it firmly behind Fujitsu, IBM, Dell and HP.
Across EMEA, shipments hit 706,000 in the last three months of the year, up 4.4% on the same period last year, with HP leading the pack, accounting for 43.6% of the addressable market, with second-placed Dell taking 16.9% and third placed IBM down 8% to 13.9%.
Gartner research director Adrian O'Connell said that "EMEA was particularly badly hit by the downturn in 2009 and, although economic concerns continue across much of the region, the server market has shown good momentum during 2010.
"We need to recognise that the market is still in a fairly tentative recovery mode. Many companies are still in cost-containment mode and, although 2010 growth levels were strong, we're still some way off the revenue highs that we saw in 2007," he added.
The x86 market again demonstrated its growing importance to the overall server sector, said O'Connell.
"x86 revenue increased 17.4% in the fourth quarter and accounted for two thirds of total server revenue. Virtualization, blades, 4 and 8 socket systems and richer configurations are all driving these strong revenue levels," he said.
This was enhanced by good high-end sales of IBM's System Z kit, said O'Connell.
Risc and Itanium UNIX vendors again had a torrid three months, with revenues down 19.3% as the market was squeezed by x86 and System Z.
In worldwide terms, the top five vendors by revenue were IBM, HP, Dell, Oracle and Fujitsu. Meanwhile HP led the market in shipments, with Dell second, IBM third, and Fujitsu and Oracle in fourth and fifth.
Gartner research vice president Jeffrey Hewitt said: "The introduction of new processors from Intel and AMD toward the end of 2009 helped fuel a pretty significant replacement cycle of servers that had been maintained in place during the economic downturn in 2009."
Gartner's analysts also noted that new entrant Cisco enjoyed a low single-digit share in its first full year in the market.
The global outlook for 2011 suggests that growth will continue during the year, albeit at lower levels as the x86 refresh cycle is largely past.
HP and IBM, said Gartner, will continue to play tag at the top.

I have officially started the process of moving my blog, The Class Nerd, from Squarespace to Micro.blog. I have struggled with squarespace for a long time as an iOS only user, and as Micro.blog has matured as a platform, it has become more and more powerful. That, combined with the ability for me to post content directly to Micro.blog from Drafts 5, has let me to moving.

I currently have [@theclassnerd](https://micro.blog/theclassnerd) set up here on Micro.blog, and I have just moved the domain over.

If you are subscribed to The Class Nerd via RSS, you'll need to use the new feed (or JSON feed). If you follow me on Micro.blog and want to continue to see my posts about education technology, you should follow [@theclassnerd](https://micro.blog/theclassnerd). All posts via The Class Nerd will also go to [The Class Nerd twitter account](http://twitter.com/theclassnerd).

CraigMcClellan.com will continue as my personal blog covering everything from Apple to foster care to Star Wars. All posts about how I get my work done as a teacher using iOS will be on The Class Nerd. Follow along even if you're not a teacher though. Hopefully it's still useful.

I have a lot of stuff planned for The Class Nerd in the next few weeks, and having it hosted here on Micro.blog enables a lot of that. I'm excited for what the future holds.

Lindy West: Live at Politics and Prose
Lindy West, New York Times columnist and bestselling author of Shrill, provides a brilliant and incisive look at how patriarchy, intolerance, and misogyny have conquered not just politics, but American culture itself in The Witches Are Coming. With her signature wit and in her uniquely incendiary voice, The Witches Are Coming lays out a grand theory of America that explains why Trump's election was, in many ways, a foregone conclusion. Whether it be the notion overheard since the earliest moments of the #MeToo movement that feminism has gone too far or the insistence that holding someone accountable for his actions amounts to a "witch hunt," this book exposes the lies that many have chosen to believe and the often unexpected figures who have furthered them. Along the way, it unravels the tightening link between culture and politics, identifying in the memes, music, and movies we've loved the seeds of a reactionary movement now surging through the nation

To ask the Scottish Government whether its new social security system will exempt claimants with brain tumours from being re-assessed for (a) personal independence payments and (b) employment support allowance.
In relation to Personal Independent Payments, the Scottish Government has already committed to introducing longer-term awards for people whose conditions are unlikely to improve. We plan to do this across all disability benefits that are being devolved. How best to approach longer-term awards and re-assessment was part of our consultation and we are continuing to work closely with people who receive benefits and their representative organisations to ensure this is designed in a way that meets peoples needs. The recently established Disability and Carers' Benefits Expert Advisory Group will have a key role in providing recommendations and guidance on issues such as this. We will involve people directly in the design of our approach to longer-term awards and re-assessment through the recently launched 'Experience Panels'. This will involve at least 2,000 people, with recent experience of applying for or receiving benefits. Employment and Support Allowance will remain reserved to the UK Government.

The current study was performed to evaluate the effects of synbiotic administration on metabolic profiles in overweight diabetic patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was done among 60 diabetic patients with CHD. Participants were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A (n=30) received synbiotic supplements containing 3 probiotic bacteria spices2×10,2×10,2×10 CFU/g plus 800 mg inulin and group B (n=30) received placebo for 12 weeks. Fasting blood samples were taken at baseline and after 12-week intervention to determine metabolic profiles.After 12 weeks of intervention, patients who consumed synbiotic capsule had significantly decreased fasting plasma glucose (- 19.6±74.6 vs.+19.2±66.9 mg/dL, P=0.03), serum insulin concentrations (- 0.7±5.1 vs.+3.3±6.3 µIU/mL, P=0.01), the homeostasis model of assessment-estimated b cell function (- 3.4±19.5 vs.+11.5±21.0, P=0.006) and increased the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (+ 0.002±0.01 vs.-0.01±0.02, P=0.03) compared with the placebo. In addition, changes in HLDL-cholesterol levels (+ 1.8±5.7 vs.-2.2±6.0 mg/dL, P=0.01) in supplemented patients were significantly different from those of patients in the placebo group.Synbiotic supplementation for 12 weeks among diabetic patients with CHD had beneficial effects on markers of insulin metabolism and HDL-cholesterol levels.

Welcome to my personal site, which includes links to other work I do, some blogging on current projects and thinking, and a repository for my research outputs.
If you want to find out more about my current research – and call for participation – please find more information here.
I am an Addison Wheeler Research Fellow in the Department of Geography at Durham University in the UK, where I research the impact of the changing forms of decision on cyber security as part of three-year fellowship, 'Digital Decisions' (2020 – 2023). This incorporates prior work on malicious software from my doctorate, which explored how computational agency shapes how security is practiced in malware analysis and detection laboratories, to new material on offensive cyber operations, and how machine learning and AI are transforming cyber security and other areas of computationally-mediated security. In addition to this work, I have a wide and intersectional interest across the social sciences and beyond. This includes being a Co-I on the creative arts project, Zoom Obscura, working with colleagues developing themes on post-colonialism, as well as work forthcoming in computer science.
Beyond Durham, I am Co-Lead of the Offensive Cyber Working Group, Assistant Editor at the journal Big Data & Society, on the editorial board of the journal Digital Geography and Society, and a Research Affiliate at the Centre for Technology and Global Affairs at the University of Oxford.
Previously, I have been a Research Associate of the Cyber Security Group at the University of Bristol (2019 – 2020), on the project Software Developers' Everyday Practices: Exploring How Security 'Works' (which was unfortunately hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic). Between January and June 2019, I was also a visiting fellow at the German Dynamics of Security collaborative research centre, and I completed my DPhil (PhD) in Cyber Security at the University of Oxford in October 2019.

Why Dance Bollywood Style
It's roots are set in various traditional Indian dance forms like Kathak and Bharatnatyam, some of which are over 20,000 years old.
The dance is specially choreographed for the movie and song it is being featured on. It's ever changing as choreographers compete to incorporate new moves in the hope that they become a signature move and will be copied by dancers all over the world. Thus immortalizing the dance move, the song and ultimately the movie.
Bollywood dance has no rules.
It's for the free spirited.
It doesn't need any prior dance experience or level of fitness
You can dance fast or slow. Alone, with a partner or in a large group.
You can jump in and join a group anytime.
You can learn it as you go. You can add on to it and even change a step or a gesture if you don't like it.
You can incorporate ANY other dance form. hip hop, jazz, ballet. You can whip and do the Nae nae to the beats of Bollywood music.
That's why I love Bollywood dance the most.

Funeral services held for 12 killed in Philadelphia fire
Mourners gathered Monday for funeral services for nine children and three adults who died in a Philadelphia fire five days into the new year, the deadliest blaze in the city in more than a century
Mourners gathered Monday for funeral services for nine children and three adults who died in a フィラデルフィア fire five days into the new year, the deadliest blaze in the city in more than a century.
A funeral procession on the rain-soaked streets of the city Monday morning was followed by services at Temple University s Liacouras Center, to which members of the community were invited and asked to wear white.
The victims of the Jan. 5 fire were all on the third floor of a duplex north of the city center near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The three-story brick duplex was owned by the Philadelphia Housing Authority, which is the city's public housing agency and the state's biggest landlord.
Three sisters — Rosalee McDonald, Virginia Thomas and Quinsha White — and nine of their children died in the blaze, according to family members. The city last week identified the other victims as Quintien Tate-McDonald, Destiny McDonald, Dekwan Robinson, J'Kwon Robinson, Taniesha Robinson, Tiffany Robinson, Shaniece Wayne, Natasha Wayne and Janiyah Roberts. Officials did not provide their ages.
Investigators last week confirmed that it started at a Christmas tree but stopped short of officially saying that it was sparked by a child playing with a lighter.

The blaze had been the deadliest fire in years at a U.S. residential building but was surpassed days later by a fire in a high-rise in New York City's ブロンクス borough that killed 17 人, including several children.
