The 10th arrondissement of Paris is what many French people would still call "populaire" - which means a "working class" and diverse area. Our street from the very first day was a fascination to me. Each day there were groups of young guys standing around. They didn't speak French and they seemed to be from somewhere in the Middle East.
Visitors to the Prison Valley site will construct their own narrative. Reaction to the project was mixed. Most commissioning editors loved the interactivity of the site, but questioned whether the topic of the US prison system would prompt interest among European audiences. “Rather than going to the U.S., why didn’t you tackle the situation in the French banlieue for example”, said the BBC’s Nick Fraser.

But somehow it is a distributed architecture around comments and blogs. If we really think about it a comment, a blog post, and a tweet have the same features usually.

Oh, and the word for pie chart in French? Camembert.
Theme of the symposium was “la ville cartographiée” (the city map), and to give our contribute to the discussion, we were warmly welcome to the ‘Cité des sciences et de l’industrie‘; built in the 19th arrondissement, just beside Parc de la Villette, ‘La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie’ is one of the world’s largest and most visited science museums, and looks as an impressive modern site which offers a wide variety of exhibitions and shows.

Tackling the high cost of health care is politically bruising and difficult work around the world. Among developed countries, only the Norwegians rival our level of spending. The French wrestle with rising costs every year. The Canadians are searching for a better model, and have had their eyes on France. But for all their troubles, the French and the Canadians - two bogeymen in the American reform debate - spend much less and live longer than we Americans.
French journalists working on Web documentary Charlotte Burrous / The Daily Record Visiting Fremont County was more than what they ever dreamed about. It went so well they have decided to come back this fall to complete the Web documentary, which is supported by the National Centre du Cinema in Paris. Traveling from France, journalist David Dufresne and photographer Philippe Brault arrived recently to create a Web documentary on society and the culture of the people who live in the prisons and around them in Fremont County.
French filmmakers focus on prison industry in Fremont County. Charlotte Burrous / The Daily Record Reading an article in a French newspaper about Cañon City in the 1990s captured their imagination. But they had to put it on the backburner until recently when David Dufresne and Philippe Brault decided the time had arrived.
