ProMat to offer more than 80 free seminars
Fill your brain and rest your feet at one of the educational sessions to be held at ProMat 2011.
in the NewsOther Voices: How a warehouse execution system provides product traceability MHI honors original products, solutions with annual Innovation Awards Modex 2018: MHI to preview 2018 Annual Industry Report IAM, IoT and the Connected Supply Chain New shipper survey reveals that small businesses face "import overhead" More News
Think you know everything there is to know about materials handling? Not so, according to the folks conducting the 80 free educational sessions located in the ProMat 2011 Knowledge Center in the back right corner of the show floor. The sessions run from 10:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
"The On-Floor Seminars are presented by industry experts in material handling and logistics solutions," says Terri Heisey, manager of conference progr a.m.s for the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA). "It's a great opportunity for attendees to be educated on the latest technologies from exhibitors, industry groups and research institutions."
Topics range from best practices reviews to maintenance to metrics. Detailed abstracts of each session, with key takeaways for attendees, are included in both the show progr a.m. and in a special seminar directory booklet. Only a few of the sessions run twice. Each theater holds 120 participants, and it's first-come/first-served with no standing room allowed, adds Heisey.
Research findings presented
New to the sessions this year are presentations based on the Worker-Centric Warehouse research projects conducted by te a.m.s at Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Auburn universities. These institutions were recipients of research grants funded by MHIA and its College Industry Council on Material Handling Education (CICMHE) in 2008 and 2009.
Steve Lavender and Carolyn Sommerich received the first-ever research grant funded by MHIA and CICMHE—$50,000—in 2008. With the funding, they created the Distribution Ergonomics Research Center and worked with companies in apparel, grocery and general merchandise distribution centers to develop and evaluate ergonomic methods, tools and processes that enable workers to complete tasks more safely and efficiently.
In a session on Wednesday, from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m. in Theater C, Lavender and Sommerich will share details about their process and findings in their presentation, "Te a.m.ing Management and Employees to Identify and Address Ergonomics Issues That Matter in Distribution Centers."
"The focus is looking at what can be done from an ergonomics standpoint to reduce some of the physical demands experienced by people working in distribution centers," says Lavender. "We principally focused on back and shoulder injuries, because those are the most common musculoskeletal disorders in a warehouse environment, due to the repetitive nature of the work."
Session attendees will walk away understanding how they might go through a similar process in their facility and develop their own solutions, says Lavender. "We'll talk about the solutions we identified, how we arrived at those conclusions, and how we validated those solutions with different groups of end users."
In the next phase of the research, Lavender hopes to do quantitative lab testing of some specific technologies to validate the anticipated biomechanical effect the equip.m.ent is expected to have.
Also on Wednesday in Theater B, from 2:30 to 3:15 p.m., Bryan Edwards from the Oklahoma State University Spears School of Business and Kristin Cullen, a graduate student from Auburn University, will share the results of their research in a presentation entitled "The Worker-Centric Warehouse: Achieving Worker Productivity and Acceptance of Change."
As recipients of a $53,000 grant from MHIA and CICMHE in 2009, a joint te a.m. from the industrial/organizational psychology and engineering departments of Oklahoma State and Auburn spent a year conducting research surveys of and focus groups with employers and workers to establish a baseline of attitudes and perceptions.
The project sought to determine the factors that influence attitudes, performance, turnover and technology acceptance. Edwards and his colleagues also evaluated the types of changes that would have the greatest impact on worker satisfaction and productivity.
"We're focusing on different aspects of distribution and trying to discover ways that we can make the workplace better, make employees happier, and how to help employees embrace new technologies and maximize its capabilities to reduce turnover and enhance proficiency and production," says Edwards. "Beyond that we tried to weigh the cost versus the benefit of investing in some of these solutions."
Session attendees will walk away with specific, actionable suggestions for how to maximize employee well-being and maintain productivity while improving acceptance of new technology, he adds. Going forward with the research, Edwards hopes to partner with more facilities as they implement similar ideas and measure the companies' efforts.
Industry groups share technology insights
Additionally, "there was tremendous interest from several key industry groups in presenting technology insights this year," says Heisey. "I anticipate a lot of interest and high attendance levels in those sessions."

About 200 Prince Edward Islanders attended a meeting Wednesday night with the goal of keeping a moratorium on deep-water irrigation wells in place.
The moratorium has been in place since 2001, but the P.E.I. Potato Board is lobbying to have it lifted. Biologist Darryl Guignon believes the province is pushing ahead in the interest of potato growers, without consulting other groups.
"Nope. None of us have been asked anything about this," Guignon told the crowd.
"Nor the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, nor the public! It's our water for heaven's sakes, and we can't even have an input in a water policy?"
John Joe Sark of the Mi'kmaq Grand Council added his voice Wednesday to those raised against the lifting of the moratorium.
"Please touch the hearts of the government of P.E.I., so that they will not allow the drilling of deepwater wells for irrigation of the potato fields within this beautiful province," he said.
Many MLAs attended the meeting to hear what the speakers had to say.
P.E.I. gets all its water from wells, and the environmental groups supporting the moratorium are concerned deepwater wells could affect both the quantity and the quality of what is available.
The Island potato industry says growers need more wells to stay competitive and to produce a higher quality crop.

THOUSANDS of would-be authors around the world are seeing their words published thanks to online publishing service 7write developed by entrepreneur Tiffany Hart, formerly of Bermagui and Narooma.
Hart got her big break when her concept was chosen as a winner in the "Startupbootcamp" contest in Europe and she is now based in Amsterdam.
Together with her business partner Mark Harrison originally from Sydney, she moved to the Netherlands and raised a quarter of a million Euros toward her start-up business that is now flourishing with more than 2500 subscribers and five employees.
"I hope my experience will inspire local Bega Valley and Eurobodalla start-ups and people of the Far South Coast to think big and push their ideas and potentially companies forward," she said.
Speaking from Amsterdam via Skype, she said the past year getting 7write up and running had been a whirlwind, all the more remarkable given the snap decision to follow her dream and move to Europe.
Hart attended Narooma High School from Year 7 to Year 12 and was 2006 Narooma High vice president.
She then attended University of Canberra securing a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Advertising and Marketing (Innovation/Entrepreneurship).
She then continued to expand her business career working in Canberra heading up project management for the third largest real estate website in Australia.
Her focus turned to the world of self-publishing and the idea was born for a company to help people around the world write and self-publish their books.
"Together with Mark, we built a platform to make book publishing easy and accessible to everyone - a way to challenge the current publishing model and change the way we publish," she said.
"We applied for different global business accelerators and were selected into three - Hawaii, Dubai and Amsterdam.
"We chose to accept the position with European accelerator 'Startupbootcamp' Amsterdam run by the founding fathers of Endemol creators of Big Brother etc and with two weeks' notice packed up our jobs and lives in Canberra and moved to Amsterdam."
Through an intense three-month process, they raised a quarter of a million Euros from their original Paypal investor plus a consortium from European and Australian investors.
7write.com was the first team out of nine to raise investment within the program, and was one of Microsoft Netherlands chosen start-ups of 2013.
Hart and Harrison presented their final pitch to the Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes, finally pivoting and tweaking their product to be a cash-generating global publishing platform servicing authors and publishers within 12 months.
The 7write website allows authors to copy and paste their works directly into its "bookmaker" platform and then choose which online stores to publish to including Amazon, iBooks and Barnes&Noble.
Authors can edit their works, develop a book cover and track their sales, and in turn the company gets a percentage of royalties, with the potential for the big publishing houses to pick up the online versions and turn them into hard-copy books.
The clientele is mainly based in the United States as well as South America and Spain, but they are hoping to raise awareness in Australia.
Hart plans to return to Australia next month for the first time in over a year to spread the word about 7write.com and to visit her family and father and mother Garry and Robbie Hart in Bermagui, owners of Miracles by the Sea eco hair salon.
She credited the people of the Far South Coast for giving her great upbringing and education, mentioning fellow Bermagui resident and Four Winds Festival chairperson Sheena Boughen.
"Sheena was a wonderful mentor - she saw something in me and encouraged me to follow my dreams in the later years of high school," Hart said.
"She got me to volunteer over consecutive years at the Four Winds Festival and I was always so impressed what our community could pull off together - lead by a great female leader - Sheena!"
Boughan, who just oversaw the fantastically successful 2014 Four Winds Festival, has fond memories of Tiffany.
"From an early age, Tiffany had a sparkle in her eye and a curiosity about the world," she said.
"I remember her leaning forward to understand the world and what I was doing in it. Not afraid to challenge authority or consider a better way of doing things, she took on the hierarchy at her high school to encourage them to accept invitations to have live music in the school.
"I am just so thrilled to see her using courage to promote her ideas in a bigger world."
Hart meanwhile said she potential in the publishing market - people in need of a platform that helps authors distribute their work to the world to reach as many potential readers as possible.
"Authors and publishers are looking for a platform that centralises the entire digital publishing process so they can focus on what they do best," she said.
"I also have a strong background in the performing arts so I was passionate to join the project as 7write was innovating in a tradition industry that hasn't been challenged to grow and adapt since the Gutenberg Press."
Her husband Matt Dippl, who is Munich born but spent 13 years in Sydney and Canberra, has been writing a book so she saw the pain he experienced first-hand trying to self-publish his book.
She once again credited the Narooma Bermagui community for giving her own best "start-up" in life.
"Being exposed to such top quality community members I saw leadership as something I wanted to develop further," she said.
"In 2012 I was chose to participate in the Women and Leadership Australia Program throughout the year where they selected a range of women from around the country to fast track their development as leaders.
"Others that were pinnacle to my development as a young lady were the old Theatre Susso crew, including writer Chris Dickens, director Ricki Tandy, Robin Sedgwick, Mick Malouf, Louise Hankinson - to name a few.
"And of course dad and mum - amazing friends, always encouraged and let me free range to find what I was inspired to do in life!"

Trial begins for man who killed father
Updated 11:05 pm, Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Prosecutors contended Wednesday that a San Antonio man fatally stabbed his father because he was tired of his verbal abuse, but the suspect's lawyer told jurors his client was defending himself.
The two contrasting stories emerged as the murder trial of Kyle Miller got underway in 175th state District Court. Miller, 30, is charged in the April 2, 2011, killing of Francis Davis, 53.
Prosecutors Kirsta Melton and Catherine Wilson suggested during opening statements that the two were arguing over money when Miller grabbed a knife from the kitchen and returned to another room to attack Davis.
Wilson conceded Davis was not "the best man" in the past and "probably someone you wouldn't want living next to you." But he didn't deserve to die, she said.
"A reasonable person in his shoes would find it was not necessary to use deadly force," Wilson said of Miller. "Kyle was just mad and had enough. ... That is not the same as self-defense."

Defense attorney Jim Wheat promised jurors they would hear from Miller, who maintains he didn't want to kill his father.
"The night this happened, he had to defend himself," Wheat said, explaining his client immediately called 911, waited for police and didn't try to hide anything from investigators.
Miller, who served in the Air Force, had moved into Davis' Northwest Side home to try to get back on his feet, Wheat said. Miller was attending school to be an aircraft mechanic while working, Wheat added.
Wheat disagreed with prosecutors' contention that Davis was a changed man, and with their account of how the struggle occurred.
It was Davis — not Miller — who introduced the knife during their argument, Wheat said. At one point, he told jurors, Davis had his hands over Miller's mouth.
"He could not breathe," Wheat said, adding that Miller grabbed the knife and stabbed Davis only once in the chest. "The single stab wound was to breathe."

diagnosis of diabetes mellitus
FREE subscriptions for doctors and students... click hereYou have 3 open access pages.
Diabetes is diagnosed on the basis of history (ie polyuria, polydipsia and
unexplained weight loss) PLUS
With no symptoms diagnosis should not be based on a single glucose determination
but requires confirmatory plasma venous determination. At least one
additional glucose test result on another day with a value in the diabetic range
is essential, either fasting, from a random sample or from the two hour post
glucose load (1,2). If the fasting or random values are not diagnostic the 2-hour
value should be used.
These diagnostic criteria for diagnosing and classifying diabetes were applied
to the management of diabetes in the UK from June 1st 2000 (1). The new criteria
included lowering the threshold for diagnosing diabetes from a fasting glucose
level of 7.8 mmol/l to 7.0 mmol/l.
It should be noted that children usually present with severe symptoms
and diagnosis should then be based on a single raised blood glucose result,
as above. Immediate referral to a Paediatric Diabetes Team should not be delayed.
A diagnosis should never be made on the basis of glycosuria or a stick reading
of a finger prick blood glucose alone, although such tests may be useful for
screening purposes.

Paul Krugman, not for the first time, invokes the Great Capitol Hill Baby Sitting Co-Op Crisis as a metaphor for the macroeconomy.
First things first: Krugman is absolutely right that we learn a lot from well-chosen simple examples. But this particularly example seems poorly chosen.
The Capitol Hill Baby-Sitting Co-Op consisted of about 150 couples who baby sat for each other. They paid each other in scrip — pieces of paper each worth a half hour of baby-sitting time. New members received 20 units of scrip, which they were expected to pay back upon retiring. Aside from that, you earned scrip by baby-sitting, and you purchased baby-sitting with scrip, so that in the long run you'd sit exactly as much as you were sat for.
The problem was that people started hoarding scrip, thinking they might need it someday. As a result, the demand for babysitting services dried up. This made it harder to earn scrip, which encouraged even more hoarding, and so on around the vicious circle. The solution was to issue more scrip — each member got 10 more units. This made the hoarders a little less frantic and a little more willing to go out, which meant more sitting jobs were available, which eased the hoarder's minds still further, and soon the co-op entered a golden age.
That, says Krugman, is the story of most recessions. People hoard money, which makes it hard to earn money, which makes people hoard still more money, which makes it even harder to earn money. The solution is to issue more money.
But here's the part of the baby-sitting story that never made sense to me: Why didn't prices adjust? If everyone's hoarding scrip, and nobody can find a baby-sitting job, why doesn't someone offer to babysit for half the usual amount of scrip? Why isn't that enough to get things moving again?
Presumably the babysitting co-op enforced (implicitly or explicitly) some social norms that discouraged such behavior. The rules said that a unit of scrip was worth a half hour of babysitting time, and to trade at some other rate was to violate the rules. But there are no such rules in the macro-economy. If Dell can't sell enough computers, and responds by lowering its prices, nobody yells that Dell broke the rules.
So Krugman's favorite story about recessions — the one that he says "changed his life" — is really just a story about babysitting co-ops, unless it's supplemented with some other story about what keeps real-world prices from falling. Until he tells us what that supplemental story is, Krugman's got nothing.

Hi friends.
I wanted to check in with you from Blogher. It's been a pretty good experience, although some aspects have been frustrating and others appalling, the rest has been really great. I love being with my friends and I love meeting new people.
(and since this isn't over until tomorrow night, I'm really hoping to meet many, many more of you, m'kay?)
Tonight was unbelievably exciting for me.
I enjoy her site so much, the way she writes, her family, her PHOTOGRAPHY. I love that's she's positive and friendly.
(The fact that she often shares photos of handsome cowboys in their chaps is just icing on the cake.)
I saw her from afar and I got real brave, approached her and we talked for a little bit and then I met Marlboro Man and then we took pictures of each other and with each other.
It was wonderful.
Meeting her and him, was definitely a highlight for me, not just for this weekend, but pretty much forever.
(more photos and updates to come!)

Some new research coming from both ends of the political spectrum point out that the American health care system is broken. The Urban Institute has a new report that says 27,000 Americans died in 2006 because they didn't have health insurance. Meanwhile, The Commonwealth Fund is reporting the U.S.—which spends more on health care than any other nation—ranks dead last in preventing avoidable deaths among the industrialized world. We're spending more and people are getting less. If researchers on both sides agree isn't it time we see some action from the politicians?

And we're at it again! After a quick break post Day 2 keynote with Susan Wojcicki, Senior VP of Advertising at Google, attendees headed over to SEO for Google+ and Google Search with moderator Danny Sullivan and speakers Sean Carlos, CEO of Antezeta Web Marketing, Janet Driscoll Miller, President and CEO of Search Mojo, Daniel Dulitz, Product Manager at Google, and Monica Wright, Social Media Editor at Search Engine Land and Marketing Land. Read on for a full recap.
Jumping right in, Daniel discussed some of the basics concepts behind what we are seeing on Google+ everyday. What has changed and what remains the same? Giving an overview of what remains a constant with Google, Daniel said the goal is still to make the best content available even without SEO. However, he pointed out there is still much work to be done. In addition, Google still utilizes hundreds of quality signals and is constantly updating and fine-tuning them.
When it comes to Google+ though, what can users do to achieve "good" content? What is the process?
- Ranking: Give the user what they want, and you will help build your own reputation.
- Appearance: Make sure the user knows why it's good (How is your content different from others? What makes it a touch above the rest?)
- The click!
Back in the dark ages, your web page was your brand's identity – your reputation was based entirely on how good your web site was. These days, things are a little different. With Google+, there is a new identity connection between your website and your Google+ page. But how do your Google+ page and your website tie together? Daniel describes how what your page is about directly correlates to who is interested in your page. People who are interested in your page are the ones who will +1 you. Next, who authored the Google+ page is connected to what your page is about as well as the group of people who are interested in them.
So, what effect does your Google+ page have on Search?
Your Google+ page allows brands to display fabulous, deep content, show who authored the page in SERPs, note the site's Google+ page, see updates from your circles (namely who +1'd or shared content), and lastly, it allows you to have a conversation with people on the results page (basically, you can see the +1s and help develop your reputation).
Daniel used "Joe's Camera" as an example to show how this works. As a newbie to Google+, Joe's Camera should:
- Choose an area of expertise
- Create a Google+ page
- Find great content across the web (create new content with rich pieces)
- Post about that content on your Google+ page
- Promote yourself (think of how you label or describe yourself in the space)
- Results will appear as "Joe's camera shared this"
Daniel wanted to leave us with these final tips about how to best utilize a Google+ page:
- Make your content pop with rich content
- Develop your reputation online via your Google + page
- Reach out to your fans
- Convert customers to fans with a page badge
Next up, Sean Carlos took the stage and right away, he offered up a few gems as a refresher to the crowd. He mentioned how Google+ pages for businesses were introduced last November and introduced Direct Connect search, which lets you focus searches on Google and Google+ pages. If you want to do a search for only Google and Google+ pages, simply enter a "+" sign before the text and Google will match your search query with the appropriate results.
To be eligible for Direct Connect, companies need to cross-link their Google+ page with their website. Furthermore, Sean said its not imperative to put a Google+ page on your website, but you certainly can – it's more important that the Google+ page link to the website.
Google+: To log in or not to log in?
If you perform a query while logged in to Google+, you will be asked to either add a company page to your circles or you will see information about circles you've already added the page to.
Changing the pace, Sean discussed how Google wants to be a source which provides information about people. For example, if you search a person's name, you may see profiles coming from Google+, but users who are not logged in may see the standard SERP. What if you don't want your Google+ page to be found when someone searches for you? There's an easy fix for that! You can opt out of profile indexing.
Google page authors are allowed to add photos, bylines and rich descriptions that are tied directly into the Google+ page. This is a pretty nifty deal as it allows you to pop up in the SERPs. Another feature of Google+ is that brands associate their employees. For example, do a query for "restaurants" and you will be able to see the employees and/or products right beneath the brand.
If you search for something on Google, decide you like it and +1 it, that action is directly associated to that page.
So why is Google+ important to Google Search? Sean described it as: "Google+ is important to Google because its prime real estate in the Google SERPs that money can't buy." You should always keep in mind whether you want to direct people to your Google+ page or to your home page. Which is more important to you? Google+ is an ever-evolving experiment and is changing every day. In the future, we should expect real time results and eventually global expansion.
Next, Janet took the stage and discussed the 3 parts of Google+: Direct Connect, +1 buttons, and Google+ badges. How do they all work together for SEO purposes? We'll delve into that in a bit, but for now, let's dig in to Direct Connect. What is it, exactly?
Direct Connect is a way to integrate all these different social aspects into one Googlicious monster. You need to connect your website to your Google+ profile in order to let brands' Google+ pages be returned in the Google auto complete (which some refer to as Google suggest).
How many Fortune 100 companies are utilizing Google+ to the fullest? Less than you might think. While 57% of Fortune 100 companies are on Google+, only 2% of those have Direct Connect enabled. So what must you do to enable it? Create a link between your Google+ page and your website, then put the code onto your website.
What's all this hype about the Google+ badge for?
Basically, the Google+ badge:
- Enables Direct Connect
- Helps rel=author
- Encourages web visitors to add your Google+ page to their circle
There are currently only 3% of Fortune 100 companies that have Google+ badges.
If you want to put the Google+ badge onto your website, first put your ID number from your Google+ page into the tool, decide what kind of badge you want, and you will find the code to put onto your site at the bottom of the box. To check the code, Janet suggested using a rich snippet testing tool. If you put the page URL in the box , you should see the image from your Google+ page show up.
When adding your website URL to your Google+ page, make sure it is in your website box, not the information page.
+1 buttons are the same concept as the Facebook "like" button, but they pack a little more punch when it comes to SEO. It's possible that +1s may be or are becoming an important SEO ranking factor – some search results are already being altered based on social circles.
There are 2 types of +1s:
- +1s for brands
- +1s for content
When considering where you want to put your Google+ buttons, you should definitely let how Google sees +1s factor into your decision.
Fun fact: 11% of Fortune 100 companies have +1 buttons.
What types of measurement should you be using for Google+? Either Google Analytics or Google Webmaster Tools can do the trick, but they have a few subtle differences.
Google Webmaster tools let you measure:
- Search impact
- Activity
- Audience
BUT the data for Webmaster Tools is only available for 30 days. There is no easy way to download the information, so you need to copy it down somehow. Make it a point to review your data regularly.
Google Analytics let you measure:
- Engagements
- Action
- Pages
Finally, Monica Wright got up front and center and asked us, "Why bother?" referencing Google+. Offering up two pretty valid reasons right off the top of her head, Google+ drives traffic and Google+'s referral traffic has increased dramatically recently.
What are some more of the Google+ features?
- Analytics
- Successful tracking across platforms
- User tagging (from a brand page)
- Hash tags
- Prolific commenting which is less like micro blogging
Just like in any other social media channel, you need to actively manage your Google+ page. Here are a few tips Monica offered up:
- Monitor your brand and see what's trending
- See how your brand results come up in Google search
- Save searches and see trends, see what people are talking about and how it changes over time
When sharing links, be sure to add tracking to all of your post updates. Within each individual post, you can bold parts of the text, use images as the link of the article you posted and definitely be sure to cross promote your other social channels on your Google+ page too.
As far as Google+ Hangouts go, you can only have 10 people in a hangout, so it does limit your audience but it is a great tool for an internal meeting or for certain circles of people. Don't forget to organize your circles! As your friends grow, you need to be able to track how you know all of them.
Whew! That was a good load of Google+ info there! Hope that helped provide some insight to everyone grappling with why Google+ should be a part of a social and SEO plan. Thanks to the speakers for a great presentation and for the wealth of information! We're not done yet, though – be sure to check back for more coverage.

For Arun Ghandi, the grandson of the famed spiritual leader, Mahatma Ghandi, the issue of bullying is very close to his heart. Growing up under the terrible yoke of apartheid in South Africa, Arun was bullied and beaten by white South Africans for being "too black" and by black South Africans for being "too white."
Although his initial plan was to seek revenge against his oppressors, his grandfather taught him that justice has nothing to do with getting even and rests instead entirely on the ability to transform one's opponents through love and suffering.
Arun has taken his grandfather's original message of non-violence and love to New Hope, Pennsylvania in a two-day event that commenced last Friday and continued through the weekend involving a speech, a cocktail reception and benefit party at the New Hope Ramada, which is located on Route 202 in New Hope. All funds gleaned from admission fees, which ranged from $75 for the benefit party to $125 for the private reception, will benefit The Peace Center (http://www.thepeacecenter.org), whose focus is on conflict resolution, bullying prevention and tools for mediation.
The Peace Center stands like a beacon in the night by promoting respect and acceptance via conflict resolution programs throughout the Delaware Valley region of the United States. They were delighted that Arun Ghandi targeted their organization to promote.
Arun Ghandi, now a widower, is the author of several books about his famous grandfather, and his mission in life is to travel all over the world, sharing the spiritual leader's powerful and enduring legacy of non-violence.

Christmas Is Alive & Well, Despite Its Detractors
1. Is There Really A War On Christmas?
2. Religious Practice Vs. Religious Symbolism
3. Does The PC Crowd Have Ulterior Motives?
4. Public Religious Displays Are Possible
5. A Fun Look At PC Run Amok
6. Have A Very Merry Christmas!
A big issue making the news circuit now is whether there is a "War On Christmas." Fox News has spent a lot of time on this story, and virtually every media outlet has weighed in on this issue. As a father who has always stressed the real meaning of Christmas to my children, I decided to research this issue to determine if the liberal assault on Christmas is real or mostly hype. As a result of my research, I have to conclude:
There is indeed a War On Christmas, but it is not nearly as bad as some in the media would have us believe, and the celebration of Christmas will continue over the years, alive and well. But Christmas is not without its detractors, as I will discuss below. What follows may surprise you and, I hope, uplift you.
To start with, a little clarification is necessary. First, I can find no evidence of an actual "war" on celebrating Jesus Christ's birth on December 25th, or the idea of going out and spending lots of money for gifts that you may just happen to give someone on or about that date. The supposed "war" on Christmas seems to be whether or not the term "Christ" should be included in any mention of an activity or event celebrating this time of year, or whether any public facility should display the word "Christmas" or any other religious symbolism surrounding the meaning of this religious holiday.
So, why don't we just call it what it is. It's not a war on Christmas – it's a war on Christianity in general. That is, in fact, what the "war" on Christmas is all about.
The usual suspects who want to ban any religious terminology from the lexicon of the Christmas holidays are the more extreme liberals, and the basis for their views – they say – is the importance of " separation of church and state." The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), so-called atheists, sympathetic liberals and even some religious leaders, support this movement to expunge every mention of religion from public life, presumably so that those who do not share these religious views will not be offended. However, there are some new players as well, with agendas that might surprise you.
In this week's E-Letter, I'm going to discuss the "war" on Christmas, and why the war is being waged in the first place. Then, I'll have some fun by thinking ahead to see what might happen if the War On Christmas is successful, and we delete all references to any religion or object of worship from our daily language. The ramifications could be huge.
Make No Mistake, A War Has Been Declared
Some of you reading this E-Letter may think that this is just another example of conservatives wringing their hands over perceived persecution that doesn't really exist. That is far from the case. If you go to a Google search-engine and type in "War on Christmas," you will get over 500,000 matches for articles, books, and weblogs discussing the topic.
Some of these Internet entries are by religious groups which provide key evidence that religious expression is, indeed, under attack in America. Other entries are by those who do not believe any such attack is under way, and simply attribute the discussion to much ado about nothing. But a few entries are really disturbing, because they not only admit that there is a war against Christmas (and Christians) going on, but that they have mobilized their forces to participate.
One such posting was in regard to a December 5, 2005 press release by a group called Beyond Belief Media, led by "former Christian," Brian Flemming. The press release was intended to formally declare a "War on Christmas." Here's an excerpt from the release:
Los Angeles, December 5, 2005 -- Beyond Belief Media has formally declared war on Christmas, the December 25 holiday in which Christians celebrate the birth of the mythical figure Jesus Christ, the company announced today.
"Christian conservatives complain nonstop about the 'War on Christmas,' but there really isn't any such war," said Beyond Belief Media president Brian Flemming, a former fundamentalist Christian who is now an atheist activist. "So we have decided to wage one, to demonstrate what it would look like if Jesus' birthday were truly attacked."
As its opening salvo, Beyond Belief Media has purchased advertisements this week in the New York Times , USA Today and the New Yorker magazine. The company's 300-member volunteer "street team" is also descending on Christmas-themed public events with random "guerilla giveaways" of Beyond Belief's acclaimed DVD THE GOD WHO WASN'T THERE.
"No Christmas pageant or Nativity display is safe from our troops," said Flemming. "Wherever the mythical figure Jesus is celebrated as if he were real, we will be there with an information barrage. We will undercut the idea that there is any point at all to celebrating the 'birth' of a character in a fairy tale."
A recent book by Fox News host John Gibson, entitled "The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought" (Sentinel, October 2005) documents the slow erosion of Christian symbolism and values in public life. I have not read Mr. Gibson's book yet, but he has been on the talk show circuit, and his examples of officials trying to remove Christian symbolism from Christmas appear to be well-documented.
At the same time, the ACLU, often a target of criticism from the religious right, states on their website ( www.aclu.org) that they are not involved in a war on Christmas. In fact, they say that they are the victim of a "…well-organized attempt by extremist groups to demonize the ACLU…" And then, taking a page out of the Bill Clinton playbook, they state, "…there is no 'Merry Christmas' lawsuit…"
The ACLU is correct, in that they are not pursuing any current litigation regarding Christmas religious symbolism. What they don't tell you is that they have eagerly pursued such suits in the past. As recently as 2004, the ACLU lost a case they brought against the city of Cranston, RI. It seems that this city had allowed religious Christmas displays on public property, a citizen objected, and the ACLU took up the case. Federal Judge William E. Smith ruled against the plaintiff and ACLU, saying that the city had followed established law (more about this later), and was not in violation of the Constitution.
Judge Smith's ruling stated that nothing in the city's implementation of its policy for Christmas displays "reveals or even remotely supports an inference that a religious purpose was behind the creation of the limited public forum," as the lawsuit alleged. So, when the ACLU says that they do not have a war on Christmas, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they LOST their war on Christmas.
While it is not surprising that there are organizations willing to take up the cause of removing Christ from Christmas, it really steams me that they make it appear that Christian conservatives are somehow the cause of this war, or that we "brought it on ourselves." The ACLU website even goes so far as to try to lecture about how, by resisting these anti-religion forces, Christians are defying Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount.
Religious Practice Versus Religious Symbolism
As we all know, the US Constitution makes no mention of our modern interpretation of the separation of church and state. The First Amendment simply forbids Congress from enacting laws that restrict the free practice of religion. Thus, since Congress can't regulate religion, the judiciary took up the challenge. These judges are appointed for life and do not have to answer to voters. We all know the term "legislating from the bench," and nowhere is this more evident than in court cases involving the practice of religion.
It is interesting to me, however, that many of the recent challenges focus on what can only be deemed symbols of religion – the Ten Commandments, "Christ" in the word "Christmas," religious displays, as opposed to the promotion of one religion or another. The judiciary won the battles that surround a public entity's endorsement of one religion or denomination over another, and rightfully so. It is not the job of governments or public schools to promote or endorse religious views.
However, it is a far cry from endorsing religion to allowing religious symbolism on public property. With the battle over religious endorsement won, the ACLU and other groups took on the display of religious symbolism, saying that the mere presence of such symbolism indicates that there is a de-facto endorsement of religion. This is ridiculous.
Some government buildings containing religious symbolism were built decades ago. Are we supposed to believe that current government administrations use these symbols to promote one religion over another, or that voters are somehow influenced by these symbols to elect only candidates who share the religious views depicted in the symbols? Hogwash!
It seems that the mere mention of the word "Christ" in Christmas offends those weak souls who see this as an obvious attempt to change the course of their lives by converting them to Christianity. Obviously, this is nonsense. It is a manufactured sense of being offended simply to drive home a political point.
If one is offended by the name "Christ" in Christmas, then there are a myriad of other things that must offend these weak-minded individuals on a daily basis. Would they be appalled if asked to be a god-parent? Should their children not be required to read about Lady Godiva in school? Will they shy away from doing business with anyone named "Gilchrist ", or "Christian," or "God win," etc., etc.?
If the PC crowd is so intent upon removing all references to Christianity, then why don't they insist that the entertainment industry cease using swear words in movies that invoke the names of "God" and "Christ?" Think about this. If someone was truly offended by the word "Christ" appearing in a Christmas display, then wouldn't it be even worse if someone used the popular curse words that appear to call God's damnation upon the subject of the epithet? I certainly haven't seen any such movement toward less cursing in movies, and I doubt we ever will.
And just think, if the PC police are successful in removing offensive religious words from our language, this may be just the tip of the iceberg. Will PETA members object to the word "dog" in dogma, "cat" in catastrophe, or "hog" in hog wash? (Yes, the last one was intentional.) Maybe it's only a matter of time before feminists start objecting to the word "gal" in gal lon, "she" in sheriff, and "her" in her etical.
Yes, I am just kidding, but the above paragraph illustrates how silly I think this whole debate on religious symbolism is.
An Attack On The Majority
Do the politically correct among us really expect us to believe that the presence of a religious symbol on the county courthouse might make "non-believers" appearing in court feel that they are being oppressed? Or that a manger scene displayed on city property may convince "non-believers" that they are singled out for traffic tickets just because of their non-belief? No way! The illusion of "offense" must be generated to make the objection more palatable.
Earlier on, I stated that there seemed to be a war on Christianity. Perhaps it may be more accurate to say that the current situation is just another in a long line of wars against the majority of Americans. A 2005 Harris poll indicated that 82% of Americans believe in God, and a recent ABC News poll indicated that over 80% profess to be Christians. A December Fox News poll indicated that 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas. Thus, religion, and Christianity in particular, are the most prevalent religious expressions in the United States.
In America today, it is fashionable to pick on the majority, so that appears to be what is going on. If the minority can convince the majority that those in the minority class are offended each time mention is made of the majority's religion, then perhaps less will be said of religion, and the country will become more and more godless – just like the atheists want it. Hmmm…it's kind of like negative evangelism, isn't it?
It gets me that when our troops were sent to the Middle East, they were indoctrinated about the local religious customs so that they would not do anything that might be considered offensive to the locals. But the same liberals who cheer this move also think that foreign nationals coming here should be kept from being offended because the US might just have a religious heritage. What nonsense.
The real issue is not that anyone is truly offended; it's just that it is more sellable if the PC forces can make us believe that we are offending someone through our religious expressions. Who among us would want to intentionally offend someone of another faith or nationality? (OK, I admit that some people would, but I hope the best for my readers, so I'm assuming you wouldn't want to do this.)
When you put a human face on the issue, it is much harder to fight than if it were just a philosophy or an idea. Thus, the PC forces formulate their tactics around not offending people rather than the real agendas at work. You see, the religious majority often stands in the way of a number of things desired by social liberals. Some say that the truth behind the anti-Christian movement is that removing religious (and hence moral) standards from public life paves the way for agendas that are traditionally opposed by religious leaders and their followers.
They may have a point. If the public's view of a religious viewpoint can be shaped to believe that all such adherents are extremists or "kooks," then all sorts of evils might make their way into public life. Legalized prostitution, euthanasia, legalized narcotics, gay marriage and all sorts of other "secular progressive" programs might be possible in a country populated by people without a moral compass. Just look at Europe to see an example of what can happen when you remove religion from public life.
Fortunately, There Are Clear Rules To Follow
I noted above that Judge William Smith's opinion in the lawsuit against the city of Cranston, RI cited established law as the reason to rule against the ACLU's contention that religious displays on city property were unconstitutional. From my research, it appears to be very clear that there are guidelines established over years of legal challenges in regard to religious symbolism on public property.
First, religious expression on your own personal property is always protected by law. While there may be challenges mounted by homeowners associations and the like regarding deed restrictions for outdoor displays, these are usually based on community appearance guidelines and not on an attempt to restrict religious expression.
As for schools and public property, a recent article in our local Austin newspaper, The Austin American-Statesman, quoted Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, regarding Christmas decorations. The article indicated that if a Christmas display has secular elements (Santa Claus, Christmas trees, reindeer, etc.), it may also have religious symbols such as a manger scene. And this is from an organization seeking to remove religion from public places.
The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a legal alliance co-founded by conservative James Dobson, is on the front lines of the war on Christmas. ADF has issued a press release saying that it has 800 attorneys nationwide ready to combat attempts to censor Christmas in schools and on public property. However, other information on ADF's website ( www.alliancedefensefund.org) indicates that, in many cases, religious displays are prohibited without a legal challenge, and sometimes without even a single complaint.
In such cases, it's as if some of the troops in the war on Christmas surrender without a fight. Unfortunately, there are some public officials and school administrators who will take action against religious symbolism because they think they know the rules about such displays in public places. They either react to a complaint with a "knee-jerk" reaction, or they assume that religion has been outlawed in public places, so they will make sure it gets done in their jurisdiction.
The problem with such actions is that many times they are based on assumptions, and not the real facts. The numerous challenges to religious expression in schools and public property have resulted in an established set of guidelines that any public official or school administrator can access. Last year, ADF mailed copies of these rules to over 6,700 school districts across the US so that school administrators will be familiar with the rules should a complaint surface.
The ADF also supplies the following brief summary of the established rules relating to Christmas celebrations in schools and on public property:
* The US Supreme Court has never ruled that public schools must ban the singing of religious Christmas carols or prohibit the distribution of candy canes or Christmas cards.
* School officials may refer to a school break in December as "Christmas Vacation" or as a holiday without offending the Constitution.
* School officials do not violate the Constitution by closing on religious holidays such as Christmas and Good Friday.
* No Court has ever held that celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas as religious holidays requires recognition of all other religious holidays.
* The "Three Reindeer Rule" used by the courts requires a municipality to place a sufficient number of secular objects in close enough proximity to the Christmas display (such as a manger scene) to render the overall display sufficiently secular. Although the overall display must not convey a message endorsing a particular religion's view, Christmas displays are not banned as some people believe. Simply put, the courts ask, "Is the municipality celebrating the holiday or promoting religion?"
More resources are available from the ADF website ( www.alliancedefensefund.com). Note, however, that some of the resources available from this organization may require purchase. You can also obtain information on Christmas displays from the American Center for Law and Justice at www.aclj.org . I encourage you to share these important resources with your local school and government administrators, especially if they are currently dealing with a challenge from PC groups.
Conclusion: The War On Christmas Is Limited
While the war on Christmas is still very much in the news, it is important to realize that these instances are relatively rare, even though egged on by organizations such as Beyond Belief Media and others. There are literally thousands of school districts and public places where religious symbols are not under attack, and Christmas celebrations are proceeding without a hitch.
A recent article from the American Center for Law and Justice indicates that examples of making Christmas politically correct "represent the exception to the rule and most communities are not giving in to the pressure to be politically correct." Good for them!
This observation seems to be supported by a recent Fox News opinion poll that showed 48% of those polled did not believe there was a war on Christmas, as opposed to 42% who did. This shows that about half of Americans are forming their opinions based on what they see in their local neighborhoods as opposed to the news reports of what may be happening thousands of miles away.
What motivates people to complain about religious symbolism varies, but I'm sure some are convinced they know the rules when they don't; others are well-meaning individuals who do not want to offend others; and I'm sure you know that there are some people who just like to be noticed. However, it is important to know that there are individuals and organizations that actively seek to remove every vestige of religion from American life. Thus, even though the current attack on Christians and Christmas is limited, we must continue to be vigilant lest it become more widespread.
A final thought is to be wary of scam artists seeking to make money on the war on Christmas. While many legitimate religious organizations seek contributions to help them combat inappropriate religious censorship, there are likely to be others that see this as a good way to make a quick buck.
I have written before about what are known as "affinity scams," that take advantage of a common membership or belief. I have no doubt that there will be scam artists who see the war on Christmas as an opportunity to separate concerned Christians from their hard-earned money. Therefore, it is important that you check out any organization asking you to send a donation to help address this hot issue.
Now For Some Fun: Let's Be Politically Correct Across The Board
As you have no-doubt been able to tell, I think the whole issue of attacking religious symbols in public places is absolutely ridiculous. As I researched this issue, I began to think of what might happen if we were to remove all religious references from our language, no matter what religion they may represent. What follows is a completely tongue-in-cheek review of just a few instances of where this could be a major problem. Thus, remember while reading this – I'm only kidding!
It would obviously be unfair for the crusade to drive Christianity out of public life to stop at that point. Fair is fair, and if Christianity has to go, then everything else does too. And since the focus seems to be on the symbolism of religion rather than the actual practices, the PC police have a lot of work to do.
Our Calendars Are Rife With Religious References
One of the most common objects in our world today is one of the most egregious examples of religious symbolism, and that is the modern calendar. Our method of marking time has actually been a process rather than an event. Various ways for measuring days, weeks and months have been tried over the centuries. However, in 1751, the English Parliament declared that the Gregorian calendar be used in England and all of its colonies, so that's how we ended up with it.
However, this calendar marks years by designating them "BC" or "AD," meaning "before Christ" and "Anno Domini" (year of our Lord), respectively. The PC crowd has already taken care of this potentially offensive technique by substituting "CE" (for Common Era) and "BCE" (for Before Common Era). How imaginative… but not offensive!
Next, however, we have the issue of the days. The various days of the week were named for planets, which have been objects of worship in many cultures over the centuries. Obviously, the PC crowd can't tolerate having days named for objects of worship, since not everyone shares those beliefs. Thus, we'd have to come up with new names, or maybe just use numbers.
Now, let's move on to the number of days in a week. One account of why we recognize a 7-day week as the official way to mark time is that Roman Emperor Constantine declared that the Christian tradition of a seven-day week should replace the older Roman eight-day week. However, the seven-day week is directly from the Old Testament book of Genesis. Since Christians and Jews both revere this book, it could be doubly offensive.
A final task in creating a PC calendar is in relation to the naming of the months. Even if we move to a 10-day week to escape any Biblical reference, we're still faced with 12 months to rename. You see, the current names of months came from the Romans, who named some of them after their own gods. While these gods haven't been actively worshipped in centuries, you never know what the future may bring, or who might be offended through the use of these pagan names. So, something has got to give.
And the calendar is just the tip of the iceberg! Just think of all of the instances in the arts, sciences, city names, street names, etc., etc. where current and former objects of worship have been referenced. Let's just say the PC crowd would have many decades of job security.
For another humorous look at PC run amok, go to the following link to read a politically correct take-off on the classic Christmas poem, click on the following link "The Night Before Christmas" created by members of my staff for this occasion.
Parting Thought On Christmas
At the beginning of December, Debi and I took a few days off and went to New York City for a long adult-getaway weekend. Among the many things we did in the Big Apple was to go to Radio City Music Hall to take in the yearly "Rockettes Christmas Spectacular." And it was indeed spectacular (as it should have been, given the ticket prices).
What shocked us was the ending of the performance. Near the end, the Rockettes left the stage, and one would have thought that the performance was over. Yet, to our surprise, Radio City Music Hall had an ending performance featuring the Nativity Scene. And not just a visual of the traditional Nativity Scene.
This Nativity Scene was the whole story of Joseph and Mary and the birth of Jesus, with real actors and real sets, beginning with Joseph and Mary's trip to Bethlehem, how they were turned away at the Inn, how they wound up in a manger, and how Jesus was born there. Then the Wise Men came and brought their gifts. This finale segment lasted 15-20 minutes.
We were shocked to see such a graphic and sensational presentation of the Nativity Scene in New York – liberal bastion that it is – but there it was. Most shocking of all was the ending. A thinly veiled curtain came down, and the following postscript was displayed for all to see:
"He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three more years, He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness.
While he was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His enemies, and went through a mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had – His coat. When He was dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave.
Over two thousand years have passed, and today He is the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever set and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this 'One Solitary Life'."
Wow, you could have blown us over with a feather! To see this tribute to Jesus as the ending to a Christmas extravaganza in New York, of all places, and in Radio City Music Hall (one of New York's centerpieces), was a real shocker. We were so moved and so happy we were there.
With that, let me wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah (or Happy Whatever you may be celebrating) and a very Happy New Year!!
Very best regards,

WORK AT the Golconda to Debe construction site continues although an investigation into the death of steam roller driver Ronnie Deonarine is ongoing.
Dennis Harricharan, National Infrastructure Development Company (Nidco) project manager of the extension of the Solomon Hochoy Highway from Golconda to Point Fortin, said that only minor works were being done at the site.
Harricharan said: "The contractor is really tying up loose ends at the construction site for the Christmas season. The work is being done to ensure that the road is safe for motorists."
He said it was not certain when the investigation, which is being conducted by Nidco, will be completed.
Deonarine, 45, of Panchoo Road, St Julien Village, Princes Town, suffered massive internal injuries after a steam roller he was driving crushed the lower part of his body at the worksite last Thursday.
Deonarine, an employee of Junior Sammy Contractors for the past 12 years, was driving the steam roller onto a trailer truck when the steam roller skidded.
Witnesses said Deonarine panicked and jumped off the steam roller, and the equipment fell on top of him.

Lunch time is one of those times in the day for people to sit with their friends.
Making people sit with different people won't hold anything.
Could cause tension and frustration among students.
Just moving the tables won't do anything to help people meeting new people
Moving the tables would be nice for a change in environment.
A day that would encourage people to sit with new people or inviting new people to sit with you and your friends.

Mostly teachers are in the front because they are here earlier than teachers.

It can't. But this shows the difficulty casual language has when referring to database devices. "Time" really has nothing to do with relations but people let the word creep in because they are often assuming the database is inextricably tied up with some sequential language or other. (People who write about transactions fall into the same trap. Please don't confuse the above with a database that abstracts time with values for some application purpose.)

If that were so, I think one would need to define a different "UNGROUP" operator. Join and Project also lose information. Why is it critical not to?
Nothing wrong with different definitions as long as they hold up as well
as the ones they replace.
