When I was in Paris earlier this month, I met the SEO Director of NetBooster, Stéphanie Sallée. We went to a typical French café and talked about the search market in France.
What does your company specialise in?
NetBooster works in all areas of digital marketing including SEO, PPC, Facebook, display and affiliates. We launched the social department last year. We also have a user experience department and emailing marketing and e-crm department. Our creative department produces a lot of the banners we use in display and we build websites for our clients.
We also work with inhouse SEO teams in large organisations to help them with their overall SEO strategy. For the smaller companies, there may just be one person responsible for the marketing which we also help with.
How did you get into SEM?
At the end of my degree in which I studied Information management, I joined NetBooster. At that time it was a very small company. Now we are an international group with 12 different offices across Europe, Brazil and Asia. The head office in Paris has grown from 15 people when I joined 12 years ago to nearly 130. Globally, there are 500 people in the company.
What is the search market like in France?
The French market is mature as it has been around for more than teny ears. When I started in SEO, Google did not exist. In some sectors such as travel and tourism and hospitality, the market is very competitive. The same is true with ecommerce and retail.
Do you often have to optimise your sites for English and French?
In France we mostly optimise the sites in French. We do have some clients who have sites in several languages but also offices in other European countries.In the Paris office, we can handle campaigns in in English as well as French, the other languages can be handled by our local offices..
Where we have a client who have local offices, we work with the other European countries. For international projects, there is always a leading country/city and we need to regularly liaise with them.
In London we have an international team. However, the French team also works with this team if the project requires French translation and French work.
Are there many SEM events in France?
There is SMX in Paris in June and SEO Camp in March. There are not many events in Paris, compared to London. I have been to SMX myself but I have never been to SEO Camp Aperitif where SEOs meet in a bar, talk and have a few drinks. It is very informal.
The SEO community in France is quite small but they are very active on Twitter.
What link building do you do and do you conduct this in English or French or both?
For more than three years we have been carrying out link building for SEO campaigns. We are focused on building high quality links rather than just lots of low quality ones. We focus on specific keywords and if the client is French, we conduct link building in this language.
Link building is part of an overall online campaign. We work on partnerships with other high quality websites. We also syndicate to some directories which we choose. We also syndicate press releases and engage in link baiting such as infographics and widgets
Do you have any French specific clients where you solely work in French?
Most of the clients in the French office are French. Many of these clients do not need a site in English and therefore we solely work in French with them.
What are specific tactics that work in France?
What differs between countries is how we as a company deal with link building. Here in France and in the United Kingdom, link building is very important and we look for high quality links. However the importance of link building may be less in other countries such as Italy and Spain.
If you were to put France on a timeline and the US is "2012", the UK "2011", where would France be?
Google updates are mostly launched in the US, UK and then in the other countries. The impact from these updates comes quite quickly after hitting the UK market. The French market Is impacted by these changes but we regularly communicate with other offices to find out if there has been a negative or positive impact on our clients' sites.
Were you affected by the Google updates?
We were affected in a positive way, some of the rankings for our clients increased. We also saw some of the spammy, low quality websites disappear. We did have a few webmaster tools Google alerts, but these were correlated to affiliate links. Overall the updates from Google are good, they are communicating more and more with website owners.
Do you work much with Bing?
We do not for SEO but we do work with Bing for our PPC campaigns. We have noticed any specific focus from Bing for the French market. We work mainly in Google as it represents more than 90% of the organic traffic. What is interesting is that their webmaster tools which has some different information than Google does.
What do you like the least about SEO?
I do not like the fact that Google is dominating the market place.
The area I like the most about SEO is the fact that there are a lot of changes. This means you always have to keep updated with the news and what is happening in the industry. This is one of the reasons I have been with NetBooster for 12 years. What we do now if very different to the work we did 5 years ago.
SEO is becoming part of the digital strategy for our clients and they are therefore recognizing the value in this service. We deliver an integrated search strategy for our clients which includes SEO, PPC and Social.
What do you see as the future of SEO in France?
The future of SEO is very similar the future of SEO in the UK and US. With universal search and rich snippets, the space for organic results on Google SERP tends to diminish so reaching the top 5 or even top 3 rankings is key to generate traffic. Therefore content and link building will become even more important. Rich content (which includes videos and images) will become crucial in SEO. More and more user generated content like reviews will be seen as a big ranking factor. Brands should be communicating with their customers and interacting with them. The more useful content the company generates and spreads, the more links a site will acquire. In this way, linkbuilding campaigns must be user oriented: producing and spreading user friendly and relevant content naturally generates quality links.

Apple's Second Samsung Suit Sails On
That's what U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh had to say last month about a second patent suit Apple had brought against Samsung. Now, less than a month later, she appears to have reconsidered her position — with a caveat or two.
Late Friday, Koh ruled that Apple's second suit against Samsung — this one involving alleged infringement of a group of patents, including one related to the company's Siri voice search technology — can move forward.
Evidently, Koh decided there's little to gain by postponing Apple's second suit against Samsung until an appeals court renders a decision on the first. What she did decide was that the case would benefit from a little streamlining. In her ruling, Koh told both companies to "significantly" reduce the scope of the case by trimming down its claims and expert witness testimony.
Welcome news for Apple, which had been pushing aggressively for the case to proceed, arguing that postponing it was injurious to its business. "This case must proceed now in order to stop the ongoing sales — and relentless launch — of Samsung's latest infringing devices, which have caused, and every day continue to cause, continuing harm to Apple," the company said in its argument against postponement.
The case is scheduled to go to trial in March of 2014.

Acting couple Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy send each other photos of their feet when they're apart – so as not to bore each other talking about their daily activities.
The stars, who met on the set of "Evening" in 2007, have been married for two years but their busy work schedules often keep them separated.
Danes has been shooting her TV hit "Homeland" in North Carolina, while Dancy has been working on the New York stage – but the actress keeps the relationship interesting by sending her husband funny anecdotes and pictures.
She tells CNN broadcaster Piers Morgan, "In the formative stages of our courtship, our relationship, our schedules were amazingly compatible. Lately we've not been so lucky. I'm obviously filming the series and he's doing a play called the 'Venus In Fur' in New York right now so he's stationed there.
"We talk a lot, we text a lot, we send each other photos of our toes – dumb stuff. I think it's dangerous when you go into reporting mode, when you just kind of list the things you've done that day. Sometimes you just kind of have to act as if you were with each other and not say anything terribly significant."
Danes admits she didn't expect love to blossom with the Brit when they met because she had just ended another romance and was looking forward to the single life.
She recalls, "I had just come out of a relationship and so I was very excited about being single, because I'd never been single and I was kind of boasting about it. And then I just fell in love, immediately, again! He's the best person I know, he's just great."

MWC 15 Special
Right with the announcement of Motorola's Xoom slate tablet, Google has also unveiled further information of its upcoming major Android release which will be called Android 3.0 aka Honeycomb. Honeycomb is the next version of the Android platform, designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets. According to Andy Rubin, vice president of Engineering, Google spent a lot of time refining the user experience in Honeycomb, and therefore Google has developed a brand new, truly virtual and holographic user interface and therefore, many of Android's existing features will really shine on Honeycomb.
It features refined multi-tasking, elegant notifications, home screen customization with a new 3D experience and redesigned widgets that are richer and more interactive but for sure also access to over 100,000 apps on the Android Market.
Google also made some powerful upgrades to the web browser, including tabbed browsing, form auto-fill, syncing with Google Chrome bookmarks and incognito mode for private browsing. Honeycomb also features the latest Google Mobile innovations including the recently launched Google Maps Mobile 5 with 3D interactions and offline reliability, access to over 3 million Google eBooks, and Google Talk, which now allows to video and voice chat with any other Google Talk enabled device (PC, tablet, etc).
More info are expected to come from the Android team in the upcoming weeks. Maybe next month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is a good platform to unveil further information!

still can't use hands…but thanks to my old friend joe klein, one of the original partners in genghis cohen, we have the story and videos behind the classic seinfeld episode, "the chinese restaurant" which was inspired by genghis cohen and my keeping jerry and larry david(the series co-creator) waiting in line.
NBC broadcast their own "reunion" documentary, called THE SEINFELD STORY, on Thanksgiving night in 2004, which included parts of "How It All Began." The Chinese restaurant episode was included in the NBC documentary as well.
Sure the glitterati graced Genghis Cohen on a regular basis. You never knew which celeb would come walking through the doors. But it's safe to say that Allan and I never could have imagined that one of Hollywood's most infamous waits for a table would inspire an episode that would help to turn Seinfeld into one of the most successful sitcoms in TV history!

The White House has its share of annual holiday traditions: the Easter Egg Roll, the turkey pardon and exuberant winter holiday décor. But until recently Halloween has gotten short shrift at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
It wasn't until some time in the 1840s that Halloween traditions crossed the Atlantic and became part and parcel of autumn in America. President Grover Cleveland, born in 1937, was a member of the first generation of Americans to grow up with jack-o'-lanterns and trick-or-treating. As a child, he was reportedly a Halloween prankster of the highest order, but sadly he didn't bring his bag of tricks to the White House.
In the 1860s, the White House hosted a series of séances — but they weren't Halloween-related. The White House Historical Association explains: In 1862, Mary Todd Lincoln, grieving over the death of her son, brought mediums to the Red Room to communicate with the ghost of the boy. By the 1870s, regular ghostly appearances were witnessed by a White House footman who claimed to have frequent contact with the spirits in residence, and tales of supernatural occurrences continued well into the 20th century. Eleanor Roosevelt's secretary saw Lincoln's ghost, White House employee Lillian Rogers Parks saw many an apparition, and supposedly President Harry Truman had his own eerie encounters to recount as well.
After a structural renovation in 1952, it was proclaimed that the spirits had been officially exorcized (a two-for-one special?). And ironically, it wasn't until after the ghostly reputation had been cleansed from the building that Halloween traditions began. The Eisenhowers decked the halls with cornstalks and Halloween décor in 1958, and costumed Kennedy kids frolicked through the halls in the 1960s. The Nixons threw Halloween parties for underprivileged children, the Fords and Carters continued in the philanthropic vein by hosting charitable parties for organizations such as UNICEF. Barbara and George H.W. celebrated their first Halloween in the White House with an anti-drug youth rally.
Fast forward to the Obama administration, when the first family has taken on the holiday with gusto. Last year the president and first lady welcomed elementary school students from 17 area public schools for Halloween trick-or-treating, which was the third time the Obamas had opened the White House for the occasion. Children from the Boys and Girls Club and from military families were invited as well. Handing out homemade cookies, special M&M's and other confections, one may wonder why the first lady — known for championing healthy eating and the fight against childhood obesity — doesn't hand out pretzels and apples? Fortunately, she advocates for moderation and not the complete denial of fun foods. (Which is good, because we'd hate to see the White House get egged for handing out crummy treats.)
Watch the White House slip into its holiday costume — and the Obamas in action as the Halloween host and hostess with the mostess.
White House Sweet Dough Butter Cookie Recipe
And here's a presidential treat for all of us to indulge in: The recipe from White House Pastry Chef Bill Yosses for the Halloween cookies seen in the video above.
- 1 pound sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 pounds butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 3 pounds all-purpose flour
Mix the butter and sugar till soft and well beaten. Then add eggs, vanilla, salt and half the flour. Beat on slow speed till mixed, then add the rest of the flour and mix until incorporated. Push flat onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate overnight. Roll out to one quarter inch thick and cut out cookie shapes with cookie cutter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 14 minutes and then allow to cool.

Jenelle Evans made good on her promise to get a boob job.
The Teen Mom 2 star, 20, got breast implants Wednesday, according to her official Twitter account. "Now I'm at home recovering with [my best friend] Allison Elise as my nurse."
In March, a source told Us Weekly Evans wanted "to go a 'size or two' higher." Another Evans insider said "she's wanted it for a long time."
Evans — who split with boyfriend Gary Head in early April — is relying on her on-again beau Kieffer Delp during her recovery. "Thank you so much for being there for me today and everyday," she told him via Twitter. "You are always there when I need the most!"
The MTV reality star and mom to son Jace, 2, said her new boobs are the "perfect size."
Evans follows in the footsteps of Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham, who went from an A to a C cup in early 2011.
"I thought I lost 'boobage' from having a baby," aspiring model Abraham told Us last year. "It was a challenging time, [but] it's helped my confidence and [made me] feel more like a woman."

Re: How do you critique another person's code?by merlyn (Sage)
|on Dec 19, 2001 at 22:25 UTC ( #133204=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
I made a comment about the code to my manager, and have now been called into a meeting with my manager, and the programmer's manager where I am expected to provide feedback on the script and what I think the problems are. If I were the programmer's supervisor, I would have no problem providing him direction (and rejecting the entire script.) However, how can I politely provide factual feedback without "attacking" the style of programming?Your company isn't paying you to be polite. If the "style" of the code makes future maintenance and upgrades difficult, that's something the company needs to know.
But you should make it clear what the purpose of your feedback is, ahead of the actual feedback. Remember that "purpose", "trust", and "respect" all go hand-in-hand: if one is missing or unclear, the rest will erode rapidly. So, make it clear that the purpose of your feedback is to reduce the risk to the company, and then remain true to that purpose. Within that purpose, the means by which the content is spoken matters little, as long as the purpose is clear and respected. Hidden agendas will undermine the process, so you must ensure that the cards are all face up on the table.

According to the network morning shows, violent Occupy Wall Street protesters are fighting back against government officials who are trying to rein them in. Early Show's Erica Hill highlighted "this growing crackdown on the anti-Wall Street protests around the country." She added, "In Oakland, California, the protesters are pushing back."
The "pushing back" came in the form of throwing rocks and bottles at police officers who attempted to remove them from a public encampment.
Co-host Matt Lauer teased the segment by wondering, "Crackdown...What's driving the rising tension?"
Today offered one sentence references to the rock and bottle throwing. The show also gave the least amount of coverage, despite being the longest program. Just 49 seconds were allowed over four hours.
On Good Morning America, news reader Josh Elliott buried the lede. He narrated, "On the street, it had the look and feel of a war zone. Police firing stun grenades, bean bag projectiles and rubber bullets."
The news anchor treated as fact the claim that rubber bullets were used. However, the L.A Times reports:
Protesters had also thrown paint "and other agents" at officers, he said. The crowd reached about 1,000 at its peak, [Oakland Interim Police Chief Howard] Jordan said, noting that police used bean bag rounds to disperse demonstrators. He said no rubber bullets were used -- a claim disputed by protesters.
Yet, he waited until the very end to explain what prompted the violence near a government building: "Police said they had no choice but to use tear gas after protesters began throwing rocks and bottles at them."
Elliott even tied a new Congressional Budget Office study, into the protests. He linked, "Of course, much of what's fueling these protests, the sense that only the rich are getting richer. And this morning, a new report supports that belief." The CBO study claims the wealthiest one percent saw their income grow by 275 percent over the last decade.
The ABC journalist appeared to be trying to distance the Occupy Wall Street brand from the violence in Oakland. (100 people were arrested.) In the first segment, he mentioned, by name, the group once. In a follow-up piece, Elliott didn't even use the words Occupy Wall Street at all.
On CBS's Early Show, reporter John Blackstone insisted, "Yet, a new CBS News/New York Times poll shows that 43% of Americans agree with the Occupy Wall Street movements, while 27% disagree."
But, he left out a key point from CBS's own poll. According to the survey:
Opinions on Occupy Wall Street Movement
Favorable 25%
Unfavorable 20
Undecided/Haven't heard enough 53
Isn't the fact that 53 percent of American's are undecided or haven't heard enough important enough to mention?
A transcript of the October 26 GMA segment can be found below:
JOSH ELLIOTT: But, we're going to begin in Oakland, California, where one man said, and I do quote, "It sounded like bombs going off." [Video of the protest.] Police clashing with anti-Wall Street protesters, cracking down on hundreds of demonstrators, who refused to give up their ground. On the street, it had the look and feel of a war zone. Police firing stun grenades, bean bag projectiles and rubber bullets. Tear gas flying. From the air, panic. The crowd, seen here dispersing in seconds, running for cover. All the result of a day-long encroachment by police, who moved in the early morning, dismantling the protesters' tent city.
DEANNA SANTANA (City administrator): I made the decision with the team that was in place to put an end as to what I see is a very, a very critical situation, that posed significant risk.
ELLIOTT: But the protesters returned. Trying to take back the plaza that had been theirs for more than two weeks.
BRADLEY JUDD (Protester): Taking away people's right to peacefully assemble in this country. You know, this is really outrageous.
ELLIOTT: Also overnight, arrests in Atlanta, with protesters defying orders to vacate a city park. This scene ended peacefully. But in Oakland, a far different result. More than 100 people arrested, two police officers injured. And other people, like this woman in her car, left in disbelief at the violence and chaos, unspooling in her streets. Police said they had no choice but to use tear gas after protesters began throwing rocks and bottles at them. Of course, much of what's fueling these protests, the sense that only the rich are getting richer. And this morning, a new report supports that belief. It found, over the past three decades, the wealthiest one percent of Americans saw their wealth grow some 275 percent. But, people in the middle three fifths of the population saw their income rise only 40 percent.

For the week ending 6 January 2007 / 16 Tevet 5767
The Cabbie's Story
It is not surprising to meet Israeli cab drivers whose outward appearance belies their attitude to religion. One particular cabbie whose ponytail and earrings clashed with the tallit katan under his shirt told the story of how he got started on the road to return which would eventually lead him to removing those residues of secularism.
A rabbi had hired him to take him from Holon to Bnei Brak. Upon arriving at the rabbi's home he was invited to come in for a bite because he looked so hungry. "But I want you to keep the meter running," insisted the host who would not take no for an answer. After eating and drinking the totally secular cabbie was invited to put on tefillin and was again reminded that the meter would continue running so this would be at his host's expense.
When they went out to see the amount on the meter, the rabbi insisted on paying him more than the amount it registered because of the delay he had caused him.
"If there are Jews like that," explained the cabbie to his next fare, "I want to join them and make a complete return to Judaism."

These practices include internships, collaborative research with faculty, first year seminars, capstone courses, and study abroad programs. "We don't merely provide some wonderful experiences for a few exceptional students," Hamline Associate Provost Mike Reynolds said. "We provide exceptional experiences for all students."These opportunities allow Hamline students to connect what they learn in the classroom to real world situations and gain valuable experience in their fields before they graduate, which makes them much more valuable employees when it comes time to find a job. "At a lot of other schools you get your degree, and you go out on a job hunt. At Hamline you get your degree, and you also have this experience behind you that helps you stand out," said current Hamline undergraduate student Miiko Taylor ('15).Hamline places a strong emphasis on equipping students to be successful; in fact, 100% of Hamline students complete a high impact experience before they graduate. "High impact learning is the core of Hamline," Hamline University President Linda Hanson said. "It is focused on the whole person, transformative in nature, and designed to create opportunities with outcomes for students that will be valued by the individual and society."

Shocking finish in 400m IM for Phelps, Lochte
The first day of Olympic competition at the 2012 London Games included an epic showdown in the men's 400-meter individual medley between swimming's biggest stars -- Americans Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps.
Lochte, the defending world champion in the event, ended Phelps' reign as the two-time defending Olympic champion and took gold in 4:05.18. Thiago Pereira of Brazil was second and Japan's Kosuke Hagino was third.
But the shocker of the event was Phelps, who finished fourth in 4:09.28.
"It was just a crappy race," Phelps said. "I felt fine the first 200, then I don't know. They just swam a better race than me, a smarter race than me, and were better prepared than me. That's why they're on the medal stand."
The fourth-place finish marked the first time the Baltimore native finished off the podium in an Olympic event since the 2000 Sydney Games.
"It's frustrating, that's all I can say. It's pretty upsetting," Phelps said. "The biggest thing now is to try to look forward. I have a bunch of other races, and hopefully we can finish a lot better than how we started."
Phelps swam the race from the outside lane 8 after a rare slow swim in the morning's heat gave him the eighth fastest time at 4:13.33, narrowly qualifying him for the final. He was just .07 of a second faster than the ninth-placed swimmer, Laszlo Cseh, who took silver in the 400m IM behind Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Games.
Lochte eased into the final with the third fastest time in the morning session.
Until recently, Phelps had removed the 400m IM from his usual race program. After winning the grueling event at the 2008 Olympics he said he'd never swim the race again. However, he swam it at the Olympic Trials last month and opted to keep it in his 2012 Olympic program.
Phelps needs three medals in London to become the all-time leader in total Olympic medals. He entered London with 16 medals, including 14 gold.
Phelps etched his name in the swimming and Olympic record books in 2008 when he won all eight events he competed in to take home an unprecedented eight Olympic gold medals.
Lochte, a Florida native, has been the swimmer to beat since Beijing, winning five gold medals at the 2011 World Championships.
Lochte had Phelps' number at Worlds, but Phelps edged Lochte at last month's Olympic Trials. In what was called a cat-and-mouse game during the Trials, Lochte narrowly defeated Phelps in the 400m IM before Phelps hit the wall first in the 200m freestyle and 200m IM.
U.S Men's Gymnastics Team Takes Lead: The American men are in first place after Saturday's qualifying round with 275.342 points, almost three points ahead of Russia. The British men are third.
The favorites entering the competition, Japan and China, made key mistakes in the opening day of the competition to fall to fifth and sixth, respectively.
The men's team final is Monday.
Coughlin Earns 12th Medal: Natalie Coughlin earned her 12th career Olympic medal to tie Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres for most career medals by an American woman when the U.S. women earned bronze in the 4x100m freestyle relay.

Chad Dylan Cooper, the leading star of tween drama MacKenzie Falls, has just asked out Sonny Munroe, star of hit sketch comedy show So Random out on a date. The audience cheers, as this step was long overdue, then hang on the edge of their seats to see if the date will go off without a hitch or will be ruined by Sonny's cast mates.
If you have no idea who or what I'm talking about, don't panic. It means one of two things: Either you're a full-blown adult or you don't have any younger siblings, cousins, or relatives that keep you glued to Disney Channel whether you like it or not. But trust me, you're not missing out on much. Oh and for your information, the introduction is a scene from the second season of Disney's Sonny With A Chance , starring someone you may have accidentally heard of, Demi Lovato. (more…)

I have completed teaching the Master Data Management Course in Sydney. Thank you to my wonderful students. Some memorable learning the last 2 days was
done around some of these points:
- Master data, with MDM, can be left where it is or, more commonly, placed in a separate hub
- Product MDM tends to be more Governance-heavy than Customer
- In a ragged hierarchy, a node can belong to multiple parents
- Be selective about the fields you apply change management to
- Customer lifetime value should ideally look forward, not behind, and should use profit instead of spend
- Customer analytics can be calculated in MDM or CRM, the debate continues
- Complex subject areas require multiple group input
- Critical elements in MDM data security include confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, authentication and authorization
- Syndicated data is becoming increasingly important and MDM is the most leveragable place to put that data
- The web is also a source of syndicated data
- Data quality is a value proposition
- Do you have a data problem or a customer data problem or a product data problem? It affects your tool selection
- Care about what matters to your shop when you evaluate vendors
- The program methodology should be balanced between rigor and creativity
- In the design phase, you develop your test strategy, data migration plan, non-functional requirements, functional design, interface specifications, workflow design and logical data model
- Don't mess up by staffing the team with only technicians
- The purpose of the data conversion maps is to document the requirements for transforming source data into target data
- Organizational change management is highly correlated to project success
- Stakeholder management is not a one-time activity

By Chris Wright
Ever wondered why footballers are so desperate to collect up shirts at the end of every game? Well, their dining room chairs aren't exactly just upholster themselves now are they?
Take Obafemi Martins' ensemble for instance, with the ex-Reggiana, Inter, Newcastle, Wolfsburg, Rubin Kazan. Birmingham, Levante, Nigeria and current Seattle Sounders striker using a shirt apiece from his former clubs to decorate the back of his incredibly ornate golden thrones…
Very tasteful.

Posted on July 12, 2012
Origins has been on a hiatus of late as all of us here recover from the week-long workshop that kicked off the Scholl Center's "Out of Many: Religious Pluralism in America" program. The week featured wonderful morning seminars with scholars from across the field, afternoon research sessions devoted to fashioning new curriculum, and a grand evening lecture that we've previewed here before. We discussed a number of issues around introducing the study of America's religious diversity into humanities classrooms, and over the next weeks we will be sharing some of the insights and outcomes of our efforts. So stay tuned.
Our first dispatch comes from one of the morning seminar leaders, Kevin Schultz. An Assistant Professor of History and Catholic Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago, Kevin lead a morning seminar that put his work on interfaith dialogue in post-World War II America into a much broader context. He showed how the "tri-faith" ideal that informed the notion that America was a "Judeao-Christian" nation throughout the Cold War emerged from a much longer, and more contentious social, cultural, and legal histories that overwhelmed older definitions of "Christian America" that were distinctly, and hegemonically, Protestant. Over at Kevin's own Teaching United States History blog, he reflects on how the morning seminar also reminded him of the importance of nuance and complexity in discussing such potentially controversial topics. Here is a taste of his post:
Throughout the endeavor we kept coming back to one idea: that many of those who advocated on behalf of the idea of a Christian nation were not simply bigots trying to put other people down (although there has been a good bit of that, as David Sehat taught us in his award-winning The Myth of American Religious Freedom). But there was also the important notion that these people in the past were putting forward ideas that they thought would save America, and that still today we hold in high reverence. Those people who hated Catholics in the 19th century? They almost always hated slavery too. Those Puritans who castigated Anne Hutchinson? They brought things like education and literacy with them… .
I'm prompted to wonder what, if anything, today's Christian nation folks are bringing that will be looked back upon and widely applauded. But more on the topic of teaching the survey, it reminded me that it is our duty as explicators of the past to be fair to all actors, to try to understand their motives as well as their actions.
You can read the rest of Kevin's reflection here. And check back for further reports.

In order to help protect patients, family members and health care workers from the spread of COVID-19, no visitors are allowed at any of Wake Forest Baptist Health's outpatient or inpatient facilities, except in certain situations.Learn moreMore COVID-19 Updates
Influenza — what most of us call "the flu" — is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract.
Flu season runs from October to May. It's best to get a flu vaccine as early in the season as possible, as it gives the body a chance to build up immunity to (protection from) the flu. But getting a flu vaccine later in the season is still better than not getting the vaccine at all.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends a flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older (instead of just certain groups, as was recommended before).
But it's especially important that those in higher-risk groups get vaccinated to avoid health problems as a result of the flu. They include:
Babies younger than 6 months can't get the vaccine, but if their parents, other caregivers, and older kids in the household get it, that will help protect the baby. This is important because infants are more at risk for serious complications from the flu.
Talk to your doctor about how many doses your child needs.
Different types of vaccines are available. One type (called trivalent) protects against three strains of the flu virus (usually, two types of influenza A viruses and one influenza B virus). Another (called quadrivalent) protects against four strains.
The vaccine can be given to kids in two different ways: by injection with a needle (the flu shot), or sprayed into the nostrils (nasal spray or nasal mist).
Both ways of delivering the vaccine are safe and effective, and experts don't recommend one type over the other, except for kids with certain medical conditions or pregnant women, who should not get the nasal spray.
Some vaccines are approved only for adults at this time, such as egg-free vaccines and intradermal shots, which are injected into the skin (instead of muscle) with a smaller needle.
Vaccine shortages and delays sometimes happen, so check with your doctor about availability and to see which vaccine is right for your kids.
While the flu vaccine isn't 100% effective, it still greatly reduces a person's chances of catching the flu, which can be very serious. It also can make symptoms less severe if someone does still get the flu after immunization.
Even if you or your kids got the flu vaccine last year, that won't protect you this year, because flu viruses constantly change. That's why the vaccine is updated each year to include the most current strains of the virus.
Sometimes the same strains are included in the vaccine one year after the next. In this case, it's still important to get a seasonal flu shot because the body's immunity against the influenza virus declines over time.
Usually given as an injection in the upper arm, the flu shot contains killed flu viruses that will not cause someone to get the flu, but can cause mild side effects like soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site. A low-grade fever and aches are also possible.
The nasal spray flu vaccine contains weakened live flu viruses, so it may cause mild flu-like symptoms, including runny nose, headache, vomiting, muscle aches, and fever. Very rarely, the flu vaccine can cause a severe allergic reaction.
Certain things might prevent a person from getting the flu vaccine. Talk to your doctor to see if the vaccine is still recommended if your child:
In the past, it was recommended that anyone with an egg allergy talk to a doctor about whether receiving the flu vaccine was safe because it is grown inside eggs. But health experts now say that the amount of egg allergen in the vaccine is so tiny that it (but not the nasal mist) is safe even for kids with a severe egg allergy. This is especially important during a severe flu season.
Still, a child with an egg allergy should get the flu shot in a doctor's office, not at a supermarket, drugstore, or other venue. And if the allergy is severe, it might need to be given in an allergist's office.
If your child is sick and has a fever, talk to your doctor about rescheduling the flu shot.
Check with your doctor to see if you can give either acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and fever and to find out the appropriate dose.
A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad at the injection site also may help ease soreness. Moving or using the limb that has received the injection often reduces the soreness as well.

Predecessor to the modern minivan, the DKW F800 was woefully underpowered (20hp! Upgraded through the addition of another cylinder to 32!), featured a flat load-floor due to its front-drive configuration, and was built from 1949 to 1962. We'll take ours mid-engined and RWD'd, thanks. An Audi R8 drivetrain seems as if it would do the trick (after all, one must keep with the Auto Union theme now, mustn't one?) Yes, that might be the ultimate sleeper death-hoon van to beat all sleeper death-hoon vans. It just might.

How can I tell if my child is constipated?
Young children usually have bowel movements several times a week. Your child may go after every meal, or she may wait a day or two in between. Her individual pattern depends on what she eats and drinks, how active she is, and how quickly she digests food.
If you're concerned that your child may be constipated, watch for these signs:
- Less frequent bowel movements than usual, especially if she hasn't had one in at least four days and is obviously uncomfortable when she does
- Hard, dry stools that are uncomfortable for her to pass
- Very watery stool in your child's diaper (or soiled underwear if she's potty-trained). Don't assume this is diarrhea – it may actually be evidence of constipation. Liquid stool can slip past the blockage in the lower intestine and wind up in your child's diaper or underwear.
Why is my child getting constipated?
Constipation in young children usually results from several factors. The most likely reasons are:
Drinking too much milk. Filling up on milk instead of eating food high in fiber is often the main cause of constipation in toddlers and preschoolers.
Eating too many other low-fiber foods. Your child could wind up constipated if he eats a lot of cheese, yogurt, or peanut butter, for instance, and not enough fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Toilet anxiety. If your child feels pressured about toilet training, he might deliberately withhold his stool. If he shows all the signs of straining to have a bowel movement – stiffening his body and getting red in the face – he may actually be trying to hold it in.
Even if your child is potty-trained, he may not take enough time on the toilet to completely empty his bowels. That can cause a buildup of feces that makes the colon cramp and stretch. An enlarged colon can lead to hard stools that are larger than normal and difficult to pass – which only makes your child even more reluctant to use the potty.
Dehydration. If your child becomes dehydrated, his system will respond by absorbing more fluid from whatever he eats or drinks – and also from the waste in his bowels. The result is hard, dry stools that are difficult to pass.
Lack of activity. Movement helps blood flow to your child's digestive system, so he may experience trouble in the BM department if he's not active.
Underlying medical issues. Constipation is sometimes a symptom of other conditions, including lactose intolerance, hypothyroidism, diabetes, and cystic fibrosis.
How can I treat my child's constipation?
Here are some things to try:
- Avoid giving your child too many foods that have a binding effect. These include bananas, cooked carrots or squash, and large quantities of dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. Two cups of dairy a day are adequate for a young child. (For example, 1 cup is a cup of milk or yogurt, or 1 1/2 ounces of hard cheese.) For more information, see our guides to feeding your toddler or preschooler.
- Boost your child's fiber intake. Give her plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Offer apricots, plums, peas, beans, broccoli and, of course, prunes. If she doesn't like the taste of prunes, try adding prune juice to her milk: Just 1 ounce of prune juice in half a cup of milk is very effective.
- To help keep your child's stools soft, increase the amount of fluid she drinks. Water is your best choice, but a little prune juice or apple juice can help. Limit your child's juice consumption to 1/2 to 3/4 cup (4 to 6 ounces) a day to prevent tooth decay and a ruined appetite. Encourage her to drink at least 32 ounces of something other than milk each day.
- Encourage her to cruise or walk every day to get the blood flowing to all her organs.
- Massage your child's belly. Measure three finger-widths below her navel on her lower left side, and apply gentle but firm pressure there with your fingertips. Press until you feel a firmness or mass. Maintain gentle but constant pressure for about three minutes.
- Don't pressure your child to toilet train before she's ready. Forcing her to use the potty can make her afraid or resentful, and she could wind up withholding bowel movements. If you notice your child doing this, increase the amount of fiber she eats (see above) and back off on training. Wait to try again until you spot the signs she's really ready.
- Encourage your child to use the potty as soon as she feels ready to poop. If she says she never feels ready, try having her spend five to 10 minutes on the toilet after breakfast and dinner. (Children who have been constipated for a long time may have trouble perceiving that their rectum is full.) Make it a pleasant experience by reading a book to her while she's sitting on the potty. But don't force her to stay there if she doesn't want to or she'll start to think using the toilet is a punishment.
- Talk to your child's doctor about other treatment options. If your child is very constipated, the doctor may suggest using an over-the-counter stool softener, lubricant (such as mineral oil), laxative, or suppository. A glycerin suppository will stimulate your child's rectum and help her pass a stool. Using a suppository occasionally is fine, but don't do it on a regular basis because your child could wind up relying on them to have a bowel movement. Note: If your child is deliberately holding back her stools, treating her with suppositories or an enema could be extremely upsetting to her. Always check with your doctor before resorting to this type of treatment.
- If your child is passing such hard, dry stools that you see a little blood or even slight tears (anal fissures) in the delicate skin near the opening of her anus, you can ask your pediatrician to prescribe a hydrocortisone cream or ointment to help heal them. You can also use petroleum jelly after a warm bath to lubricate the skin and keep it from drying and bleeding. Don't use hemorrhoid cream; it's not safe for children. Be sure to mention the fissures to your child's doctor.
When should I call the doctor?
Call the doctor if your child isn't eating, loses weight, or has blood in his stool. Or if basic treatments, such as adjusting his diet, aren't helping his condition. Don't give your child a laxative without consulting his doctor first.

Victims and admirers were likely to remember Ricky Del Fiorentino as a big teddy bear in uniform. Young people too.
"He was a very nice man," said Fort Bragg High School student Elizabeth Anderson. She took woodshop with Ricky"s son, who is now a senior in high school. She remembers how Ricky naturally commanded respect and encouraged smiles and laughter.
"Santa Claus cheeks" was a nickname her family had for the jolly policeman.
Anderson replaced her profile picture on Facebook with an image of Del Fiorentino"s badge. Dozens of other Fort Bragg residents have done the same to honor the deputy.
"We should never forget him, he was a wonderful man" she said.
Strong and calm
Big and powerful, the decorated officer was once a legendary Napa High School football player for champion teams and wrestled for the state heavyweight championship in the 1982-83 school year, finishing second. He was inducted into the Napa High School Hall of Fame in 1998, joining some legendary sports figures like baseball player Bill Buckner.
Del Fiorentino served 26 years in local law enforcement. He was with the Mendocino County Sheriff"s office most of that time, spending 10 years with the Fort Bragg Police Department then going back to the county.
Despite his considerable strength and 6-foot-4-inch stature, Del Fiorentino, 48, was known for mastering a scene with his calm demeanor, not his muscles or weapons.
"When he was a Fort Bragg police officer, I had two teenage sons," said Anna Marie Stenberg of Fort Bragg.
"Ricky helped me a lot with them He respected them and they respected him. I also worked with him at Project Sanctuary where he had the ability to connect and therefore deal sympathetically with women in very stressful situations," Stenberg said.
Susan Fernbach, a former staffer at adult protective services, saw how the deputy was kind and helpful to senior citizens.
"He had true "protector energy," a benign and friendly presence that people took comfort and had confidence in," she said.
Dozens of people have relayed similar stories about Del Fiorentino on Facebook since an assault-rifle wielding gunman in Cleone killed him on March 19.
Decorated hero
Del Fiorentino was decorated several times for heroics, such as in 2006 when he arrested a Kern County murder suspect in Willits.
In 1992 this reporter was having lunch in Noyo Harbor when a jumper appeared on the rail of Noyo Bridge. My friend Vern Hartman of Gridley and I got to the water along with Del Fiorentino a few seconds after the mentally disturbed young man jumped, dislocating his shoulder and screaming in agony. Seconds counted. The wide-bodied but still superbly athletic officer dived headlong into the icy water, stopping only for a heartbeat to take off his gun and radio belts. We were both awestruck when he jumped in shoes and all, so as not to allow the young man to go under. Hartman threw him a rope just as the rest of the cops arrived and took control.
Del Fiorentino was given a commendation for his actions that day. Later he saw me and thanked me, although I had done nothing but watch. Six years later he jumped in icy waters again, to save four people swept into the water at Pudding Creek by a sneaker wave. Another commendation for Del Fiorentino.
Perhaps the award that best reflects Del Fiorentino is a 2004 letter from a parent in his official file about how comforting and helpful the deputy was after another of the Mendocino Coast"s darkest days when two members of the South Lake Tahoe St. Vincent"s School 8th Grade basketball team and a parent all died off Caspar when a wave dragged the students into the water. The deputy went above and beyond.
"Ricky was described as being helpful, courteous and extremely professional," the file says.
High school days
Friends from high school remember Del Fiorentino in the same way as those from tragedy and crime scenes.
"His size was somewhat intimidating," said Tammy Madison, a fellow graduate in Napa High"s class of 1983.
"Yet Ricky was very soft spoken, a super, super guy. He was a gentleman, always polite, opening doors for women," said Madison.
He carried many of his high school friends forward and held them through the ups and downs of "real" life. Two contacted were too distraught to speak about him. Del Fiorentino and the sports crowd of those high school days were sometimes goofy but never mean, Madison remembers.
"Ricky was hilarious. Yes, they were the jocks, but never bullies, a really good group of guys," Madison said. "I had friends who had crushes on Ricky but he never knew it."
She wasn"t close to him herself at the time but admired his manners. He was no stereotypical football player who didn"t go to class.
"He kept in touch with several of his high school teachers over the years and one in particular is extremely distraught right now. It"s so sad, such a needless loss of a very good man."
Wise teacher
Tributes for the fallen officer that have popped up on dozens of websites and street corners show this was a man who loved many families. He has many, many relatives and friends in Napa and other parts of Northern California, along with his big family in blue. He has fishing and hunting buddies, friends from his days as Fort Bragg High wrestling coach and more than one family by blood and marriage. Del Fiorentino also wrestled on a scholarship at the University of Oklahoma.
One of his key roles in law enforcement was as a teacher, having been a field training officer and a defensive tactics instructor for the sheriff"s department.
Fort Bragg resident Aaron Giannini"s life was changed when he met Del Fiorentino as a police cadet.
"I hear stories people tell about how their experiences with the police are so negative. It was people like Ricky Del Fiorentino that cemented the idea in my mind that we can trust, respect and ultimately call friends those that serve and protect us," Giannini said.
Del Fiorentino gently helped show Giannini that he wasn"t cut out for police work.
"He and another officer were our mentors as we went through the program He was showing us what was involved with a room to room search. I remember him telling us how important it was to check every area and to make sure that you always had your partner"s blind side. He told my fellow cadet and I that he was going to go into a part of the firehouse and that we should try to find him. All I remember was the feeling of uncertainty, and fright as we crept through the dark firehouse looking for Ricky. My partner and I proceeded to enter this room where Ricky had positioned himself behind the door and got the jump on the both of us," said Giannini.
"Ricky was his usual calm and pleasant self when he told us that we may have not made it out of that room. I got a sense for the first time the danger that our law enforcement officers go through. Shortly thereafter I left the cadet program. I felt the courage needed to pursue that career was not with me at that time. Since then we stayed friends," Giannini said.
Sheriff Allman
Sheriff Tom Allman remembered the last time he spoke to Del Fiorentino was at a roll call type situation. Allman praised the deputy for something he had done and said he would like to clone Del Fiorentino.
"The world isn"t ready for that," Del Fiorentino told his boss.
His final act was driving up face to face with the gunman"s stolen BMW. The information about the case that law enforcement had at the time was that there had been a confrontation at Confusion Hill over the suspect urinating outside, then firing a shotgun at the owner, who shot back with a pistol but everybody missed.
There was no information about any murder in Oregon or an assault rifle, but the apparent killer had two. Del Fiorentino"s killer died of injuries from police gunfire.
Anyone wishing to make monetary donations to the Ricky Del Fiorentino Memorial Fund can do so by contacting or visiting any of the Savings Bank of Mendocino County locations or by mail to P.O. Box 3600, Ukiah, CA 95482 (707-462-6613). He was buried in a private ceremony on Sunday.
Deputy Del Fiorentino is survived by his wife, children (ages 21, 19, 18, 6), step-son (age 29), grandson (age 5 months), step-grandchildren (ages 6, 3), parents and siblings.

There comes a time in every little girls life when she realizes if she wants something done, she's going to have to do it herself.
OK, so in my case, I realized that years ago. Today, however, I'm talking about gaining control of my life. Nobody can do that shit for me. I'm on my own.
I weighed somewhere in the 170's in 2009. Today, I don't.
I remember leaving Florida in 2010 so upset at myself as I was back at 207. Had to buy bigger clothes for the trip back to Michigan. Oh to be back there again! I also remember the trip back to Florida in September of 2010. I had to buy bigger clothes for the trip home.
Fast forward to today, September 4, 2013. I've had to buy bigger clothes....well let's count, shall we? I was in my awesome size 16 sparkly bell bottom jeans. Then I wasn't. I bought 18's for the trip back to Michigan.
I bought 20's for the trip back home to Florida.
I bought 22's for the next trip.
I bought 24's for the last one.
Sensing a trend here? I was. I had enough.
We're on a very strict budget. Had to give up Weight Watchers. I'm really on my own now. I finally decided a week ago that enough was freaking enough. I hurt like hell, I am so fat nothing fits. I feel crappy all the time. I feel like I'm 80. It's time to roll back the clock boys and girls. I'm ready to be 55 and feel like 40. Bring it on.
I'm going the counting calories route. I signed up for livestrong.com. It's a lovely little site that helps me easily track what I'm eating and how many calories are in it.
Week one down. I lost 4.8 pounds. I'm pleased with that.
I'm more pleased with my activity. I went from totally sedentary to not so sedentary. Yay me!
I hurt. I can't walk. I can't run. I can't do anything on the floor as I can't get back up with my knees the way they are. What? I live in a park with two swimming pools you say???? Well heck, why don't I just jump in and swim 10 laps? That felt great.
How bout the next day I go for 20? That was awesome.
How bout day 3 we try 30? That wasn't so hard!
Day 5 let's go for 40 shall we? I didn't drown!!
Tomorrow I'll get up, hit the pool, and do what I can do. I know it'll be more than it was a week ago and that's OK with me!
I'm ready to feel confident. I'm ready to feel in control. I'm ready to feel some bones under this fat!
I'm just ready.
Peace be the journey

One Indian man has turned a Suzuki Maruti 800 into a flying vehicle that he claims can vertically lift itself and soar over traffic. The only issue? Its flying ability has not yet been tested.
52 year old A.K. Vishwanath was showing his "Flying Maruti" at Aero India 2011, a large annual air show held in the city of Bangalore. Vishwanath claims the combination of rotating blade on the roof and a lower vacuum section by the tires will give the old Suzuki a vertical lift ability Doc Brown would be proud of. Vishwanath has spent over 16 years developing the as yet untested prototype through his company that is appropriately named "B'lorean".

In many industries, there are "sacred cows" that businesses worship. These are ideas so entrenched that people don't even think to challenge them. But these ideas aren't infallible, and many of them lead to bad business practices.
A sacred cow is a rule, standard or formula that operators blindly follow because that's the way things have always been. At one time, those rules, standards and formulas may have made sense, but unwittingly, they became sacred over time, even though the world, the consumer, the business and the industry changed. And, unfortunately, a lot of businesses in our industry don't recognize that the world has changed.
Let's take a look at some of the sacred cows in the fitness industry. The first one deals with clubs copying the industry leader. This isn't usually the best choice because the strategies that made the industry leader No. 1 play to their strengths, not yours. Instead, leverage what makes you different. The industry leader in your market already owns their position. You can stay or become competitive by owning a different position in the market and clearly defining and articulating your points of differentiation.
Another cow is only selling 12-month memberships. Both competitive market conditions and, more importantly, our potential members have forced the industry to sell memberships the way that they want to buy instead of how we want to sell them. Most clubs, at the very least, now offer more flexible options, such as three-month minimums or month-to-month memberships.
The mindset that low-priced clubs will never last is another belief that many businesses have wrongly worshipped. Several national companies have proven that this sacred cow is dead. The low-priced model is here to stay. Their success shows that they fill a need that customers have.
Another sacred cow is that membership freezes should only be for medical reasons. You need to be more flexible and offer one to two freezes per year for reasons other than medical. Otherwise, prospects may not join or members may cancel rather than freeze their memberships.
Thinking that branding is too expensive and only for the big companies is a sacred cow, too. The assumption is that when people say, "Let's brand something," they automatically think of 30-second commercials during the Super Bowl. But to me, branding is an intellectual exercise. I don't think intellectual exercises are expensive. Depending on how you execute it, your branding program can certainly be expensive. A brand is what defines you as being different, as being better than the competition, and it gives potential customers a reason to choose you.
The idea that low-use members will continue to pay for months is another belief we hold on to. Members today who are using the club are cancelling at a much faster rate than they did in the past. Therefore, every club needs to develop a better integration and retention system.
The last sacred cow is that new competition is the reason for your sluggish sales and higher cancellations. The competition isn't the reason or the only reason for your business challenges. The bigger questions are how do you look at your business, how does the customer look at your business and what is important to them? Do you look at the club through the eyes of the member? Have you addressed all the controllable issues of customer service, differentiation, cleanliness and helping get your members results?
For clubs that want to eliminate sacred cows but are struggling to do so, list the sacred cows that you believe you are following. If you can identify a few of them that are somehow limiting your ability to be successful, you can reassess your situation and make the necessary adjustments.

Yesterday we had no more snow on the ground. Just old green/brown looking grass out front.
But today?
It's all fine and good to dream about spring flowering plants and birds and bees and grass, and all, but let's face facts — it's winter here in New England and there's no denying it:
Today also:
Oh yeah… the snow has arrived. I'd say we have about 2-3 inches on the ground.
It's a dry fluffy snow and is blowing around a lot with the winds – the perfect kind if you MUST have snow – mainly because of the shoveling factor. It's a lot easier for geezer-men and, as the case may be, geezer ladies to do the shoveling. We don't do snow blowers here. Not at this house. There are a couple of them living at other houses in the neighborhood, but we don't much enjoy the noise from them, or the ensuing pollution. However, that said, our lovely neighbor, Bob, will come over with his snow blower and knock out the stubborn snow pile in front of our driveway for us, and for others, so we can't complain about that generosity, now can we?
The guy next door to us usually likes loud motor-driven equipment of all kinds, including mulchers (which are the worst!) and snowblowers. Lately, however, I have noticed him manually shoveling his areas so I have to wonder if his snowblower is working. I hope not! The sound of manual snow shoveling is music to my ears! Not so much, in fact not at all, the sound of a gas or electric operated snow blowing machine.
We've got the heat on in here, it's warm enough but I still need a blanket on my lap sitting in my chair.
So let the winter unfold… it's all downhill from here (now that I've said that, I'll probably regret it!).
My boy, Kip, never seems to be on the right side of this door! He does love the snow, not only for romping in but also for munching on.
Cheers for winter fun,
Bex & Co.
It's in every one of us to be wise;
Find your heart, open up both your eyes.
We can all know every thing without ever knowing why.
It's in every one of us, by and bye.
