Torrington BOE Chairman Kenneth Traub announces community meeting to address cyber bullying
TORRINGTON >> Board of Education Chairman Kenneth Traub said school officials, Torrington Police and local religious leaders are planning a public meeting to discuss cyber bullying, statutory rape and social media, among other topics following the arrests of three students which made national headlines last week.
"We are working with the city and the police department to put on a forum to discuss the issues at hand," said Traub, referring to, "statutory rape, cyber bullying, Twitter, responsibilities," he said.
The event is being planned for the first two weeks of April, Traub said, and will center on "issues" brought up by the Register Citizen's report of cyber bullying following the arrests of Torrington High School football players Edgar Gonzalez and Joan Toribio, both 18, and a third unnamed 17-year-old defendant, who were charged with sexually assaulting two 13-year-old girls.
-- FAQ: What we know about the Torrington rape victim bullying case --
"Right now we're talking, we're trying to find a place and a time," said Traub, adding that a series of talks could be planned, since, "I imagine that the public input section of it would be overwhelming."
The chairman said he's hopeful experts from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and the Susan B. Anthony Project will attend the meeting.
"It's a huge topic to try to discuss, so we don't have it broken down yet, but we will very shortly," said Traub, about whether the meeting would be in a series or a single public meeting.
Traub's announcement of the meeting, or possible "series" of meetings, came the same day as a letter from Torrington Public Schools Superintendent Cheryl Kloczko addressed to "families and community members."
The superintendent said what is already a, "very difficult situation," is "compounded by the exchange of rapid fire information," which "is not always...factually accurate."
"Added to this is the interface of social media exchanges which add more 'fuel to the fire' of the incident," she wrote. Kloczko said that "what appear to be disparaging comments on the internet, directed at other Torrington students," are, "entirely unacceptable." She said students could face discipline, "including the possibility of suspension or expulsion."
Kloczko wrote that, "safety of our students and staff is of paramount concern."
The superintendent did not return two calls for comment.
Traub said that an investigation is currently being conducted by Torrington Public Schools, as well as the Torrington Police Department, and that he cannot comment on specifics of the case until they are finished. Traub may still not be able to comment in the future due to the fact minors and students are involved.
"One of the biggest misconceptions that frustrates me out of this whole thing - the fact that we can't discuss the topics right now - does not mean that we don't care," said Traub.
"I'm going to wait for their investigation to be completed and then we can make a complete, a thorough evaluation of it," said Traub.
Asked whether the district's and athletics department's policies are adequate, Traub said, "I don't think it's been proven there is a problem in the sports system yet."
"We're always, always looking to improve things, so there's always a better way to handle a situation, and I think this one is being handled well, but will there be tweaks and improvements, I'm sure."
Following the completion of the investigation Traub said the matter would be addressed publicly "To the extent that they can because remember some of the people involved in this are minors. Procedures will definitely be done in public," he said, "other topics will take place in executive session."

trust, in law, arrangement whereby property legally owned by one person is administered for the benefit of another. Three parties are ordinarily needed for the relation to arise: the settlor, who bequeaths or deeds the property for another's benefit; the trustee, in whose hands the control of the property is vested and who receives a fee fixed by law; and the beneficiary, for whose use the proceeds of the property are to be applied. In some cases the settlor may be the trustee or beneficiary, but it is indispensable that the trustee (legal owner) and the beneficiary (equitable owner) be different persons. The trustee's duty is to make the capital or earnings available to the beneficiary in the manner prescribed by the settlor and to manage the property prudently and honestly. The beneficiary may bring suit if this duty is breached. In modern times banks and trust companies, with their special facilities for handling investments, are often named the trustees of substantial properties.

The Changing Image of Turks in Germany
Turk, Muslim, enemy of the constitution - the discussion on Islam in Germany has reached a new level. The debate has been triggered by a trivial matter: the plans by DITIB, the Turkish-Muslim Union of the Authority for Religions, to build a mosque in Cologne.
Usually when mosques are planned, the arguments are about the height of the minaret, the provision of adequate car parking, or the possible Islamist connections of the organisation behind the mosque. But this debate is different; this debate goes to the roots.
"It's not the mosque, it's Islam that is the problem," wrote the author Ralph Giordano in a recent edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. He argues that the teachings of the Koran are incompatible with the German constitution. Says Giordano: "I ask myself: how can someone for whom the Koran is holy live according to the constitution?"
The question of religion and constitution
The question is legitimate and can in principle be asked of believers of all three of the monotheistic religions who regard as authentic the texts which tell of the foundation and revelation of their religion.
Creationists, who see the creation story of the bible as factually true, are not easy to integrate into a modern state based on law and constitution. Those who are true to their texts find it hard to accept emancipatory views of the role of the sexes or freedom of sexual orientation.
Europe, the USA, and Turkey have all had sometimes bloody experience of these problems. It seems odd that the discussion on such issues is exclusively about Islam, and in the context of the plans to build a mosque.
And it is disturbing when such questions as these - published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung of 25 July - suddenly emerge: "Is the argument about the mosque and the minaret really an argument on the part of Muslims about fantasies of world-wide conquest? Is the West really about to collapse, and is every new minaret to be a signpost pointing to the world of the future?"
How has it come about that Turkish Muslims in Germany (for the whole debate is really about them) have come to be suspected en masse of being enemies of the constitution, as Giordano implies? And why are migrants who have come from Turkey to find work compared to jihadis seeking world domination, as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung does in its politely rhetorical questions?
Little justification for clash-of-cultures speculation
Over the last forty years, the Turkish minority has provided little justification for such clash-of-cultures speculation. So far, the Turkish minority has never been the source of an Islamist terror attack in the country.
It has also never been noticeable for any substantial missionary activity. To explain this strange exaggeration, one has to analyse the way the debate about Islam has been conducted over the past few years.
Following the attacks of September 11th, interest focussed on the international organisation of the jihadis and their networks. It was a discussion that was overdue, but it was not about Turks. The focus was on gathering information and finding out more about the Who's Who of terrorism.
Everything changed with the murder of Theo van Gogh in November 2004. Suddenly it was not Islamism that was at the centre of attention, but Islam itself. The view that terrorism was an immanent characteristic of Islam became more influential.
Changed message
The message changed to "it's not Islamism that is the problem, it's Islam." European intellectuals, and hundreds of journalists following in their wake, worked together to construct the image of a unified, homogenous, worldwide, violent Islam.
This new line could only be successfully transferred to Germany by turning Turks into Muslims and their religion into the most important thing about them. Since autumn 2004, the debate about integration and the Turks, which had been smouldering for decades, has been converted into one that is entirely about religion - and that means Islam.
If a Kurdish husband carries out an honour killing, there is no discussion about Kurdish tribal traditions; the crime is directly blamed on the Koran. If fifteen-year-old girls from Anatolian villages are forced into marriage, the debate is not about patriarchal village traditions, but about alleged legitimation of such actions in the Koran.
If parents who are organised in Islamist groups use standardised forms to excuse their children from coeducational sport lessons, attention is focussed not on the influence of Islamist organisations, but on the role of the woman in Islam.
And if one is looking at the educational failure of children coming from Turkish families who are detached from the educational process, the explanation is found in their religion, even though there are Italian children who are even less successful.
Generalisations about Muslims and Islam
The reality of the behaviour of the vast majority of Turkish families was systematically ignored, the complexity of their lives explained by just the one factor. The significant difference between Alevi and Sunni Turks, for example, had no relevance.
Nor did the way in which Muslims interpret the Koran in their daily life. Anyone who points out that daily life for most Muslims in Germany does not match the generalisations made about it finds himself quickly accused of sweeping problems under the carpet.
The Turks have an astonishing history behind them here in Germany. In the eighties and nineties, the Germans constructed an identity for them that was mainly based on national and ethnic criteria and assumptions, and they discovered incompatibilities on the basis of this construction. But now the Turks have been given a new image.
Without regard for social class, religious difference, and varied tradition, the Turks have come to be defined as a homogenous religious group. The one thing which unites is Islam. And Islam is in turn based on the Koran - an evidently violent document, which is incompatible with the German constitution.
The unavoidable conclusion of these generalisations and circular arguments is that anyone who declares himself to be a Muslim and does not publicly distance himself from the religion is an enemy of the constitution.
The progress of this public debate is having an effect. In the Cologne branch of the Christian Democrat party, support for the building of the mosque is rapidly declining. The state of Baden-Württemberg has introduced a citizenship test which is specially directed towards Muslims.
The new federal immigration law has restrictions which will particularly affect immigrants from Turkey. And it includes a catch-all provision allowing the expulsion of anyone who demonstrates behaviour which is "particularly opposed to integration."

On Overemphasizing Religion

Muslims in Germany
Dangerous Ignorance
Far too little research has been done on the attitudes of Muslims toward the social and political system in Germany. This ignorance fuels conspiracy theories on "the Muslims" and terror, says Eberhard Seidel

"They tell you about this feeling that is beyond comparison … and the moment Kacey and I laid our eyes on little Kline we understood it's absolutely the coolest thing ever!" That's what Eli Young Band lead vocalist Mike Eli told People magazine about welcoming his first little girl to the world on Monday (July 30). So the "little Kline" he's referring to is the 6-pound, 15-ounce Kline Olivia Diaz. I have to think that since the Eli Young Band is out on the road with Rascal Flatts and Little Big Town for a while, Eli is bound to get all kinds of parenting advice (and maybe even have some songwriting epiphanies) from all those moms and dads in the two bands. And once Kline is ready, she can join her road brothers and sisters Brittany, Brooklyn, Madeline Leigh, Dylan Jay, Jagger Donovan, Raquel Blue, Elijah Dylan, Daisy Pearl and Penelopi Jane. Congrats to Eli and his wife Kacey on their coolest thing ever.

Disenfranchised New York Republican Voters Demand New 2008 Primary Election
- Target:
- Leaders of the RNC in New York and Members of the New York Legislature
- Region:
- United States of America
- Website:
- fairprimary.org
This is a grassroots effort to unify the millions of members of the Republican Party disenfranchised by the poorly planned, poorly conducted, and subsequently failed 2008 primary election process.
We are appealing to our leaders in each of our respective states to act judiciously to remedy this catastrophe on behalf of the members of the Republican Party and the American people.
We call for a new Republican primary election to be responsibly conducted in a fair and effective manner, in every state, simultaneously, before the 2008 general election.
To the Leaders of the Republican National Committee and the Members of the State Legislature in the state of NEW YORK:
We, the undersigned registered members of the Republican Party in the state of NEW YORK, hereby protest and reject the current and ongoing results of the 2008 Republican presidential primary selection process on the grounds that the incongruous methods, rules, and provisions set forth by the individual and various state Republican National Committee Leaders, and the members of the various State Legislatures, have failed to provide the members of the Republican Party across the nation with an effective primary election process, thwarted our objective to identify the candidate who is unifying choice of the majority of the members of the party, deprived the Republican Party of faithful representation in the up-coming general election, and has disenfranchised millions of voters in our state and across the nation.
As registered members of the Republican Party, we demand to be provided with an overall effective presidential primary election process regardless of where we live.
We call for a National Republican Primary Election be held in every state, across our nation on the same day before the general election in November.
We ask that the names of every willing candidate originally participating in the 2008 race be included on the ballot.

PARIS - David Beckham's sudden arrival at Paris Saint-Germain has been warmly received by French media and sport alike.
Beckham joined the cash-rich club on Thursday and then surprised people again by announcing he would donate his salary to a children's charity.
The 37-year-old former England captain turned down several other offers as he bids to win the championship with a fourth different club in a fourth different country on the latest stop of his globe-trotting career— following success at Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Daily newspaper Le Parisien headlined with "PSG gives itself a royal gift," while Marseille-based newspaper La Provence said "Popstar David Beckham arrives to fanfare in Paris."
Le Monde's more sober headline is: "David Beckham, English footballer, global brand" — centring on Beckham's massive marketing appeal, rather than his footballing ability.
His marketing appeal was obvious on the Champs-Elysees, where PSG's flagship club store is based.
Beckham's No. 32 shirt was placed in the front of the shop window on Friday, with the blue home strip alongside the red away strip and with "Beckham" beaming from the back of both jerseys facing window shoppers — in case they were not already aware he had joined.
The price of the merchandise — €110 ($150) for the full kit for adults, €85 ($116) for children — is likely to generate serious revenue for the Qatari-owned club.
"He wants to be part of our big project, and it was a big dream for us to see him arrive," PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi told RMC radio. "David Beckham is a great professional and, off the pitch this represents a unique marketing bonus. David is David."
PSG had already secured some marquee signings, such as Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Brazil defender Thiago Silva and Brazil winger Lucas, but Beckham takes PSG to yet another level.
Former PSG and France goalkeeper Gregory Coupet is confident that Beckham's arrival — even if his contract is only until the end of the season —will significantly help to increase the French league's profile abroad.
"It will give our league enormous visibility. It's very exciting," Coupet said. "It will shake things up enormously. If I was still a player, I would be happy to play with him or against him."
He is the third high-profile English player to come to France in the past two seasons, with midfielder Joe Cole doing well for Lille during a loan spell last term and midfielder Joey Barton joining Marseille this season.
"People were already talking about PSG a lot, they'll be talked about even more now with the arrival of David Beckham," Lille coach Rudi Garcia said. "It's good for the French league, because he's an important figure in football, after all."
Saint-Etienne coach Christophe Galtier agrees, saying "a great player is coming to our league, one more. That's a good thing."
Even across other sports, the enthusiasm was felt.
"It's a good marketing coup for PSG. In terms of merchandising they won't just be reaching Europe but the entire world," France rugby coach Philippe Saint-Andre said. "It's surprising and refreshing that an Englishman finishes his footballing career in France."
Saint-Andre's point has extra weight considering that it is usually French players leaving in droves for England — underlined by the fact that Premier League club Newcastle has 11 French players in its squad.
Taking a break from his Davis Cup preparations for the match against Israel, French tennis player Michael Llodra, a regular spectator at PSG's Parc des Princes, joked that he was expecting to spend even more money to keep his son happy.
"It's great for me as a PSG fan, and great for the league," Llodra said. "But I get the feeling this means my son's going to ask me for another shirt."
But there was some skepticism as to why PSG signed Beckham, considering it already has a star-studded squad and that coach Carlo Ancelotti now has to find a way to fit yet another player into his side. PSG leads the league ahead of Lyon on goal difference heading into this weekend's games and has struggled to find much fluency in its play this season.
"Ancelotti is in a delicate situation. He already has a squad. He already has problems to solve," former Marseille President Pape Diouf said. "Did Ancelotti himself want Beckham to come? Or is it a well-elaborated marketing plan."
Still, from now until June, at least, Beckham has a chance to become the prince of the Parc des Princes.

Thank you to Krishnaprem Bhatia, Product Manager for Oracle B2B Integration for this insightful blog post on the latest B2B integration trends for airlines and cargo hubs:
Market Trend
Many airlines today are using antiquated mainframe and proprietary systems for maintaining their Passenger Service Systems (PSS). These systems are typically mainframe systems which are old and complex with a high cost of maintenance. Airlines want to modernize these systems and reduce their costs by consolidation of numerous point solutions and legacy applications.
The need to reduce complexity, bring down IT costs and increase their flexibility is driving airlines to outsource their PSS systems to vendors such as Amadeus. Although self development of these PSS systems can be done in-house by major airlines, it can be more expensive, less flexible, and less feature rich than the outsourcing option.
As airlines outsource more of their PSS systems, they need to exchange business documents such as reservations and ticketing with the outsourced provider. They also need visibility and manageability into the data flowing from outsourced systems into their enterprises.This incoming passenger data also needs to be integrated back into their internal systems. For example, different documents received from the outsourced PSS systems need to be processed and stored so that they are available to other internal systems. This has to be done using standards-based technologies for compliance and interoperability, ensuring that performance and operations SLAs are met at the same time.
How does Oracle Service Integration fit in?
Oracle B2B allows airlines to connect with their outsourced PSS systems such as Amadeus using industry standards-based technologies. Airlines can exchange different document types (typically EDI variants, non XML formats) such as passenger reservations, updates to reservations, inventory management, departure control systems and ticketing. Oracle B2B provides the ability to exchange these documents, process them, validate them, and translate them into XML for further processing by downstream components.
Airlines typically exchange information with Amadeus using two modes. In the real-time (online) mode the messages are sent 'live' by the PSS systems on an ongoing basis as they occur. In the batch mode many messages are batched together and sent at a particular time. Oracle B2B provides support for both real-time and batch modes, providing critical functionality such as document translation, validation, de-batching for these documents. It also provides the communication mechanisms such as File, FTP and MQ for exchanging these messages with outsourced systems. All this is done using standards based technologies such as standard document and exchange protocols. Once B2B is done processing the messages, these are typically sent to adjacent components within Oracle SOA Suite for message enrichment and transformations. Messages can then be stored in an enterprise warehouse where this data can be used by other internal applications. The end to end scenarios typically have high performance SLAs in terms of throughput and end to end processing time.
The products typically deployed in such scenarios include Oracle B2B, Oracle SOA Suite BPEL Process Manager for data transformation and enrichment and Oracle Data Integrator for migrating processed data into enterprise data warehouses. Customers may also choose to deploy this over Exalogic and Exadata systems for performance reasons.
Some customer examples
There are many customers who are using Oracle SOA B2B as described above today including an asian airliner who went live with Oracle B2B in November 2013. Their goal was to replace their mainframe-based passenger service system with a state of the art process that interfaces with Amadeus. The business scenarios included real-time integration, batch, no-fly list checks, integration with Amadeus via MQ. The new solution was based on Oracle SOA Suite middleware on the Exalogic and Exadata platforms. The benefits for the airline by deploying the new platform include reduction in cost, increased flexibility and increased performance (2x for batch processing, 32x for no-fly list)
Other similar customers include Sri Lankan Airlines who went live in Dec 2013 and All Nippon Airlines (ANA) planning to go live in 2014, along with others in the pipeline.
We also see that Oracle B2B is used to provide B2B SaaS services. This is becoming more common as more enterprises move towards cloud adoption in general. We already have customers in the retail sector such as SPS Commerce who have built their SaaS solutions using Oracle B2B, but today there are also customers in the travel segment who are providing SaaS based brokerage services. For example, CHAMP Cargosystems is providing a cloud solution for cargo management to more than 89 airlines worldwide. They are the biggest cargo broker cloud platform with airlines, frieght carriers, cargo hubs etc. With hundreds of different endpoints integrated using multiple data formats, they estimate to deploy 15,000 agreements and exchange 50 million messages over 7 data centers. CHAMP Cargosystems is using Oracle B2B for Custom, EDI and IATA documents exchanging messages over File, FTP and numerous other transport protocols. They are also using SOA Suite for message enrichment, business rules, transformations and routing.
There is a huge opportunity for the airline and cargo industry to improve their efficiency and agility as more and more airlines optimize their systems and move towards cloud adoption in general. Industry experts predict that there is going to be plenty of growth in this market for many years to come. For more information on Oracle B2B, see the following link
Great and a very useful blog for me. Keep sharing.

A pretty blah jobs report came out today: the economy only added 80,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate is still stuck at 8.2 percent. If you're wondering what that means for women, the National Women's Law Center analyzed June's jobs data and found that women lost 17,000 public sector jobs while men gained 13,000. Over the last three years, since the recovery officially began, women have gained 512,000 jobs while men have gained 2,073,000.
"The June jobs data reflect a disturbing trend we've seen during the three years of the recovery: cuts in public sector jobs are undermining the recovery overall-but especially for women," said Joan Entmacher, Vice President for Family Economic Security at the National Women's Law Center. "For every ten private sector jobs women have gained since the recovery began in June 2009, they've lost more than four public sector jobs. Our communities are losing teachers, nurses, police and firefighters but some policy makers still don't get it. They're pushing for deeper budget cuts that will mean more lost jobs, more cuts in education, health care, public safety, and other vital services."
Women did gain more private sector jobs than men last month: 49,000 as opposed to 35,000. Most of the new jobs were in professional and business services and leisure and hospitality. But women only gained 2,000 jobs in the private education and health sector, which has been the strongest area of job gains for women overall during the recovery.

Jefferies to merge with largest shareholderNovember 12, 2012: 10:39 AM ET
Jefferies Group (JEF) said early Monday that it has agreed to merge with one of its largest shareholders in an all-stock deal, sending shares of the investment banks rallying as much as 20%.
Leucadia National (LUK), which owned a 29% stake in Jefferies ahead of the news, will offer 0.81 of a share of Leucadia's common stock for each Jefferies share.
News of the all-stock deal sent Jefferies' stock soaring Monday. Although shares were off earlier highs, the stock was still up about 11% mid-morning. Leucadia's stock, which initially gained about 2%, turned lower mid-morning.
Ahead of the Leucadia deal, Jefferies' stock was nearly flat for the year. The bank failed to partake in the broader stock market rally that's been particularly beneficial to bank stocks. Leucadia's stock has also struggled this year, losing more than 4% since January.
Leucadia operates a diverse group of businesses, from real estate to beef processing, lumber manufacturing and mortgage servicing.
Jefferies, valued at $4.1 billion in book value, is nearly double the size of the rest of Leucadia's holdings. In a presentation, Leucadia said that Jefferies' investment banking relationships will help the holding company find more investment opportunities.
Jefferies CEO Richard Handler will become CEO of the merged entity, while Leucadia Chief Executive Ian Cumming will retire once the deal closes.
Recently, Jefferies was part of an investing team that rescued Knight Capital (KCG) after a massive trading glitch nearly crippled that trading firm.
Related: Thousands of banks may disappear
Last year, as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe heated up and MF Global collapsed, Jefferies was forced to fight off concerns over its European exposure and whether that could put the bank into a Lehman-like scenario. In November 2011, as the bank's shares tumbled, Jefferies rapidly shrunk assets on its balance sheet and sold much of its stake in European sovereign debt. Those moves put the bank on solid footing.
Leucadia's buyout of Jefferies is the latest in what's expected to be a string of acquisitions of small to midsize banks by larger companies, as smaller financial institutions struggle under the weight of expensive regulations.
Last week, St. Louis-based brokerage firm Stifel Financial acquired financial advisory firm KBW (KBW) for $575 million.

The Mapleson Cylinders - Program Notes
|Acknowledgements -- The Mapleson Cylinder Project
The good counsel and good will of many colleagues and friends contributed to the completion of this project, beginning with Philip L. Miller, long-time friend and counselor, who played a major role in obtaining the Mapleson cylinders known to exist as of 1962. The guidance and prodding of John Stratton, whose scholarly work on the cylinders stands as a model of its kind, was essential in bringing the entire transfer project to fruition. Tom Owen, present Sound Engineer at the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives, with the assistance of colleagues, was solely responsible for the design and implementation of the playback apparatus and the final carrying-out of the Mapleson cylinder project in its audio-technical phases. The transfer project and the subsequent disc publication was carried out with funds provided by the Rhode Island Corporation and Francis Goelet.
The work of John Stratton and Ira Glackens provided the historical background to the cylinders, which was the foundation for my own researches. George Laviolette of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Glendon R. Good, of Tolland, Massachusetts, were longtime associates of William H. Seltsam, and he bequeathed to them the effects of the International Record Collectors' Club; they must be named among the prime contributors, as must Ira Glackens of Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and Mrs. Aďda Favia-Artsay of Valhalla, New York. Likewise, the correspondence and newspaper clipping files of The New York Public Library proved indispensable. Last and very far from least, a special word of gratitude goes to Lionel Mapleson's son Alfred John Mapleson and to his son, Peter J. Mapleson, of Lindenhurst, New York, whose willingness to let me peruse the Lionel Mapleson diaries added not only essential information, but also a special flavor of authenticity.
If one were to pick a group of individuals to whom the Mapleson cylinder project should be dedicated, the choice would be, first, to the memory of Lionel Mapleson, whose imagination and enthusiasm led him, perhaps unwittingly, to a major pioneer accomplishment in the annals of recorded sound in the days of its infancy; to the late G. Lauder Greenway and to Philip L. Miller, who is still among us, for their efforts toward assembling a research collection of the extant cylinders; and to William H. Seltsam who, through the International Record Collectors' Club, pioneered the first major effort to get the Mapleson cylinders before the public.

Bake the Book: Pie
Pies are plenty popular here in the good old US of A. But they're largely limited to dessert. Across the pond (and further still), it's a different story. Savory pies have a long history in the UK, and author Angela Boggiano has made it her mission to explore them all in her love letter to the old standby, Pie.
Boggiano, a writer and food stylist who has honed her craft in various outlets of British food media, has composed a charming, artful homage to that savory or sweet treat so integral to the UK eating experience. From the very front cover spelling out the title in letters of crust, the entire book is warm, inviting, practically redolent of the recipes it contains.
Not surprisingly, a large percentage of Pie is dedicated to non-dessert dishes. There are impressively tall pies packed with minced meat, and molded pies with boiled eggs hidden inside. But once you hit the sweet pies, it's as if Boggiano has decided to pack in as much of a sugary punch as possible, leaving the reader drooling over creations like Cherry Custard Jalousie, Pear Frangipane Croustade. and the tooth-achingly indulgent Treacle Pie.
We'll be featuring all of the above, beginning with Peach and Apricot Amaretto Pie, a dessert that makes the most of all your summer stone fruit. Come along, but keep your fork. There's pie.
Win A Copy!
Thanks to the generous folks over at Octopus Publishing, we are giving away five (5) copies of Pie this week. All you have to do pick your favorite pie in the comments section below!

I've been running into some problems with MySQL Workbench that I'm not sure will be able to be fixed (namely, what appears to be an old bug that may have resurfaced), so I'd like to be able to find a good backup to it in the event that I can't use it. I've sifted through several suggested alternatives, such as Navicat (Navicat is not free for business use, it only has a 30-day trial), but none of them have satisfactorily met my current requirements.
What I need:
- Linux compatible (preferably Linux native, I'm using Ubuntu)
- Able to connect to remote databases via SSH tunneling
- Free and/or Open Source (I currently don't have the funds to shell out $100+ for a product and would rather support a good Open Source project, anyway)
- An interface at least as good a Workbench's (it could just be because I'm used to it, but I like its interface, very clean and rather intuitive tabbed interface; doesn't have to be identical, though)
- Supports MySQL 5+
While it's nice to have, I don't need the extra data modeling stuff that Workbench has. I also don't need fancy GUI stuff (query designers and the like). A way to view the data in an orderly manner and a place to edit queries is really all I need.
I'm currently checking out HeidiSQL, but it reminds me of something I used to use when I was running Win9x/Win2k, only runs through WINE, has crashed on me once already, and just overall feels clunky, though I do like its easy ability to dump a database or do changes to multiple tables.

When Christopher Grotke and Lisa LePage moved their Web site development business from Boston to Brattleboro, Vermont a couple of years ago, they were impressed by a local radio station that allowed anyone in the community to become a disc jockey. They decided to apply the same concept to a Web site, and invited anyone in the community to contribute content and discuss community issues in an open forum. Grotke and LePage did not know it at the time, but iBrattleboro.com, the site they developed, was part of a growing trend called citizen (or grassroots) journalism that has returned journalism to its origins as a "Town Crier" communication method.
In the emerging world of citizen journalism, content is generated almost exclusively by members of the community, rather than by professional journalists. Ordinary citizens contribute stories about their lives (live from their own backyards), stories that might be considered mundane by most professional publishers. Community Web sites provide a place for people to celebrate the ordinary victories in their lives, a forum for discussing local political issues, coverage that specifically suits its local readership, and a way to connect people to one another—all things found wanting in a world dominated by big media monopolies.
This article explores this growing movement, looking at what has propelled it, why people are so attracted to it, and how it is being encouraged and developed on many levels both to support the community and even to support a new journalistic business model.
Defining Citizen Journalism Citizen journalism is so new that it does not even yet have a formal name. You might hear terms like community, participatory, or grassroots to describe it, but they all refer to the same basic concept of giving people the tools to publish their own content. JD Lasica, one of the founders of the grassroots media site Ourmedia.org and a journalist who writes the New Media Musings Weblog, which is devoted to information about the changing face of media, says that whatever you call it, it is about people taking up the tools of media and creating content by themselves for themselves. "There are a lot of names for this, but it all revolves around the same idea of regular folks becoming part of the news equation—being creators and producers and designers of media instead of passive consumers," Lasica says.
Lasica believes that the trend really took off with blogs. "The first wave of citizen journalism was the explosion of Weblogs, primarily text-based. They fulfilled the promise of the Internet and the Web, which from the beginning, was the ability to create stuff in an easy way. People weren't doing it before because it was too hard to do," Lasica says. Now, he points out, it is no longer limited to text, but includes digital pictures, digital video, podcasts (personal radio broadcasts that play on Apple iPods and other media players), and more.
Mary Lou Fulton, managing editor at the Northwest Voice, a community newspaper in Bakersfield, California, which began publishing last year using the community journalism model, thinks it's about turning the traditional media model on its head. "The media business has done a good job of turning our readers and viewers into passive people. We have not given them ways to participate, and have actually discouraged participation. If you don't know anything about our business, we have very little transparency. One of the great advantages of citizen journalism is that it really opens up the process. We accept everything that is local and appropriate to a family publication, and this changes the whole conversation with the reader," Fulton says.
Lasica points out that citizen journalists look at news a bit differently from the traditional media. "Citizens define news a lot more broadly than traditional journalists do. What's news to them could be a little league game or the swim meet," Lasica says. LePage concurs, saying her site gives people an outlet to share all kinds of content. "The site offers a great way to find out what people in town are thinking, and it's a great way for people in town to share ideas. If you have a group, you can publicize it, or an event that's coming up. If you are a poet or a writer, you can do a creative piece. If you are very fired up about some issue, you can discuss that." In March, for example, the site's big issue involved the resignation of the local select board member. LePage says this may not seem like a big deal outside of the community, but it was for the Brattleboro area.

The "Cons" of Making Writing a Profession
As you might have gathered from my last post, when you make writing your profession, many unforgettable moments are likely to follow. I'll never forget the first time I received a letter from a reader after my debut novel BODY AND SOUL appeared on bookstore shelves. My husband and I were out running errands and we stopped by the post office. He went in while I sat in the car. Minutes later, Jeff came out waving an envelope, a huge smile on his face. "I think you might've just received some fan mail," he said. (He assumed this because the letter was addressed to "Jennifer" Archer, and I'm known as "Jenny" in my non-writing life.) The letter came all the way from Hawaii, and here's what it said:
Dear Ms. Archer, I just finished reading BODY AND SOUL, and I wanted to tell you that it was just about the stupidest book I've ever read. But maybe I just thought so because, before I started it, I read a wonderful book by Danielle Steele.
Yes, my dear fellow writers and readers, writing professionally comes with a downside, too. A few jabs now and then. Some real ego busters. Anti-fan letters qualify, don't you agree? For some reason, the letter struck me as humorous, and I had a good laugh over it. I even sent the anti-fan a cover flat of my upcoming release and asked that she give it a chance to see if she liked it better than BODY AND SOUL. And I told her that since she took the time to tell me how much she hated my book, I hoped she had also taken the time to let Ms. Steele know how much she had enjoyed hers.
Here are a few other discomforts that go along with "author-hood":
1. Deadlines that creep up on you when you aren't looking, and you find yourself in front of the computer for ten hour days only to discover when you write "The End" that your ankles are swollen from all the sitting. Oh, and there's the neck ache and the numb butt, too. Did I mention that?
2. You spend two or three hours at your booksigning with a smile plastered on your face, and when someone finally stops by your table, they ask where the bathroom is located.
3. Loneliness. Being home alone all day, every day, with no outside stimulation or fellow workers to chat with on a break can make a person weird. After my first two months of staying home to write full time, I knew I was crossing over into looney tune territory when I left the house one early evening to go to dinner with my husband and friends and the world beyond my four walls seemed a little too loud and bright and unfamiliar. Yikes. Since then, I've scheduled frequent lunch dates with friends, and I write at the library or in coffee shops from time to time.
But I've found that the toughest thing of all about writing to sell is this...
4. Whether you pursue writing full time or part time, if you want to compose a wonderful story you must be willing to expose yourself, warts and all. To lay everything out on the page uncensored. Let me explain... My mom tells a story about when I was a little girl and she was getting dressed in her bedroom one morning. I was sitting on the bed talking to her at the time, and she was only wearing her underwear. I don't know if I noticed a frown on her face or if I heard her mutter something, but I must have sensed that she wasn't happy with what she saw in the mirror because I said to her sweetly, "Don't worry, Mom, you don't look fat when your clothes are on." (Please note that my mother had and still has a lovely figure!)
That incident is a perfect analogy for the most difficult thing we have to face as writers -- we have to be willing to expose ourselves, to walk around with our clothes off in front of the world. We must pull off our girdles and let all the fat explode onto the page. Ugly thoughts, weaknesses, fears, feelings, emotions. Writers, you must set aside your worries about what people might think of you after they read your words. Will they wonder if you share your characters' nasty habits? Their unorthodox beliefs? Maybe. Probably. I've struggled with this in the past, but no more. Today, my motto: What other people think about me is none of my business.
How about it, writers? What negatives do you face due to the pursuit of your art? And readers--do you wonder how much of the writer exists in the character? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Happy reading and writing!

Ouch is right on that letter. Very rude. I am constantly shocked by how mean spirited some people are. It would be no different than if you sent a critic to stand over their shoulder as they worked and nitpic (share their negative opinion) every last thing they did during a day.
Writing full time is the best job in the world though, admit it. The pros far outweigh the cons. It may not be for everybody, but if you learned your craft well enough to earn a publishing contract, you want the life, warts & all.

Love this post.
I'm a medical professional in my Big Girl job, and I see a LOT of people.
My series, which I self-published, has some nasty characters chasing my good guys. So, naturally, I worried, and yes, the question has come up: Are you Evie, Paula? And, how did you come up with all this violence? (Insert eye-rolls here).
One review I got last week gave me two stars, and a PG rating for "some alluded to violence" and "not enough sexual tension".
Seriously, I had to laugh at myself. There are bodies dropping all over the place, and scenes with sexual tension throughout the books.
I look forward to the day I can do this full-time - cons and everything.

Uh... ouch. Seriously? Why, if you disliked a book so very much, would you go to the trouble of writing such a hurtful letter? It... *headdesk*

Ikes. Jenny, I want to punch that rude person! *much suppress the rage* This is a great post. Writers need to go in knowing this. Oh, and your motto ROX. LOL
Personally, I happen to know your writing is wonderful ... so ... I put pretty much ZERO stock in what anyone else says, as will your other fans. :)

Let's face it, making realistic looking LEGO water is tough. And a blue baseplate just doesn't look as good as you might want. So what do you do? Well hopefully this post will help you next time you want your minifig to go for a swim. 😉
Let's look at some LEGO water techniques and how we can make realistic looking LEGO water. (Click on any of the pictures to take you to the creator's gallery.)
➡ LEGO Water Technique #1: STUDS-NOT-ON-TOP
This is one of the simpler LEGO water techniques, all you have to do is turn the LEGO bricks… sideways. Two great examples of SNOT water are Fort McHenry by Blake Baer, and Omaha Beach D-Day by Milan CMadge:
The trick in both of these MOCs is making the colors of the LEGO bricks lighter, the closer to shore you get; signifying the ground underneath the water getting higher.
➡ LEGO Water Technique #2: 1×1 STUDS
If you have enough, you can use translucent 1×1 studs to give your LEGO water a sense of movement, like a mild river or something. Examples are Afghanistan River Fording by Chandler Parker, and Oasis by Nannan Zhang and The Legohaulic. (If you haven't seen Oasis yet you should definitely check it out.):
➡ LEGO Water Technique #3: BLUE TRANSLUCENT TILES
If you have enough translucent blue tiles you can make fairly believable LEGO water. This looks MUCH better than just a plain blue baseplate, and many people use this technique. For example, it is used in Pirates' Remorse by Thoy Bradley; notice how he put darker LEGO pieces underneath the translucent tiles to make the water look deeper in some areas, and used 1×1 translucent studs for bubbles:
This technique is also in Raid of Scone by Blake Baer; he used the same method but put some of the pieces in only halfway, giving it a bit of a wavy look. And check out MicroScale Island by Eggy Pop; his MOC show again that when building LEGO water the closer to shore you get, the lighter color the pieces need to be:
But don't think that this LEGO water technique is only for flat oceans or quiet rivers. The Surfer by tiberium_blue shows just how far this technique can go.
➡ LEGO Water Technique #4: CHEESE-SLOPES
By using blue (or white) translucent cheese-slopes you can give the tiles – you learned to use in the last technique – a nice current. A great example of this technique is Loggerhead Turtles on Studdington Beach by Jason Railton.
Another rule of thumb for making LEGO water is when water isn't in a collected mass – like when building waterfalls or tips of waves – to have clear (or white) pieces instead of blue translucent pieces, making the water look frothy. Here is another example of the cheese-slope technique; Waterfall Landscape by Thoy Bradley:
➡ LEGO Water Technique #5: TRANSLUCENT WHITE ON BLUE
The final LEGO water technique is my favorite and (in my opinion) the most realistic; put a layer of translucent clear plates on top of a layer of blue bricks – just that easy! Here are some examples: Amon Hen by Blake Baer and Jake Bittner, and Hurricane Irene also by Blake Baer:
Now the way to get the best results with all of these LEGO water techniques is finding the balance of mixing them together; for example by mixing translucent blue tiles with translucent cheese-slopes like in Swans Landing by Jason Railton. Notice how he added a few studded pieces to give the water a bit of a ripple behind the swan:
Or perhaps the mixing of the SNOT technique and translucent plates technique like in UAP Outpost 3 by Grant W.:
Or if you don't like any of those techniques… use real water like George G. did in his Sacred Waters of Athena:
Anyways, try a few of these techniques out and see what you're most comfortable with. Also check out these other techniques for ideas (click on any of the pictures to take you to the creator's own gallery):
I hope you learned a little bit about making LEGO water and that you might try out some of these techniques. Oh, and if you have any other good LEGO water techniques make sure you put a link in your comment. Thanks. 😉

TORONTO - Some pregnant women can begin having contractions weeks before their due date — but whether they will soon give birth to a premature baby or are experiencing false labour can be difficult for doctors to ascertain.
So researchers in Toronto, along with collaborators in Australia and Singapore, have been working to develop a test to help tease out which women having pre-term labour will actually soon give birth and those who won't and can go home to continue their pregnancy.
Currently, the decision that a woman is in premature labour and soon to deliver is based on the contractions and other physical symptoms, such as back pain, pelvic pressure and a shortened cervix. A test that measures the amount of a protein in vaginal fluid, called fetal fibronectin, or fFN, is also used when possible.
"The problem with that information is it's not very good at identifying women who are actually in pre-term labour," said principal researcher Dr. Stephen Lye, noting that the fFN test can only predict which women are going to give birth imminently with about 30 to 40 per cent accuracy.
Most of the women won't deliver in the next 48 hours, but will settle down and probably the majority will go full-term of near-term, said Lye, associate director of the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
"The problem is that once the diagnosis of pre-term labour is made, there's a whole set of interventions that start taking place."
The woman would be admitted to hospital and probably given a drug to try to stop the contractions or at least to slow down the birth process in order to give the fetus more developing time in the womb. Likely the mother-to-be will also be given steroids, with the aim of helping the baby's not-fully-developed lungs to mature as much as possible. (One of the biggest problems for preemies is oxygenation due to immature lungs, he said.)
"First of all, you don't want the hospital antenatal wards full of women that are not really in true labour because they use up hospital resources and there's lots of expensive tests being done," said Lye. "And the mothers are obviously stressed and away from their families. And they will be given drugs to try to stop the labour, which have some side-effects, and these steroids, which may or may not be good for the baby.
"We need to have a better test that has a higher ability to say: yes, this woman is going to deliver and we should do all those things, or no, this woman isn't going to deliver and we can watch her for a short while but then allow her to go home.
"That's what we've been looking at here," he said, noting that such a test could save tens of millions of dollars a year spent on treating women in hospital who are not about to give birth pre-term but are experiencing false labour.
In a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE on Wednesday, the researchers describe how they took blood samples from 154 women in Perth, Australia, who had gone into what appeared to be premature labour.
Using DNA sequencing, the researchers isolated a signature of nine genes that were able to identify which of the women would give birth, with about a 70 per cent success rate.
In 62 of the women who were able to have fFN testing — to do that test, the vaginal fluid cannot contain substances such as blood — the results turned out to have a predictive value in the 90 percentile range as to which women were not about to deliver.
Lye said about nine per cent of pregnant women experience pre-term labour, but most give birth at about 35 or 36 weeks gestation; about two or three per cent will have babies born very prematurely at 25 to 27 weeks, and it is those infants who end up in neonatal intensive care units and are at risk for long-term health effects.
The University of Toronto professor of obstetrics and gynecology said he has been in contact with companies about developing a test, but more research needs to be done to replicate the results in more women.
"It's important not to have the public think there's a test tomorrow," Lye said. "It's promising, it's exciting and it's evolving ... (but) this has to be validated."
