Selby District Local Strategic Partnership Social Inclusion and Cohesion Strategy Prepared by Drew Fussey, Safer and Stronger Communities Coordinator, Selby District Council 0 Foreword This document seeks to set out what is meant by Social Inclusion and Community Cohesion and illustrate how these issues affect Selby district. It gives details of the future actions which we, the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) will take when working to promote both social inclusion and community cohesion. By adopting good practice we aim to make a positive difference to people"s daily lives and to create the circumstances in which the different communities in Selby district can flourish together in harmony. We will take practical steps to make sure the communities" hopes and ambitions are fulfilled. We will closely monitor the progress we make, and will share what we have learnt with everyone. Our overriding aims in relation to social inclusion and community cohesion are to: reduce individual isolation; minimise community tensions; and lower the likelihood of local disorder that leads to violent extremism. To achieve this everyone will need a sense of belonging to their community and feel that Selby district is a welcoming and enjoyable place to live and work. Achieving a stronger, safer, more inclusive and cohesive society will be part of a wider long-term journey that builds on local, regional and national strategies. 1 Index 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 11.0 12.0 13.0 14.0 15.0 15.1 16.0 17.0 18.0 What is meant by Social Inclusion?

Social Inclusion is about working to break the cycle of social exclusion. The Government has defined social exclusion as "a shorthand term for what can happen when people or areas suffer from a combination of linked problems such as unemployment, poor skills, low incomes, poor housing, high crime, bad health and family breakdown…" (Social Exclusion Unit, 2001). Often these problems are linked and mutually reinforcing, therefore creating a vicious cycle in people"s lives. When considering the profile of Selby district it is also important to recognise that rural isolation (where public services, shops, transport and leisure opportunities are inaccessible due to your rural location) can also contribute towards social exclusion and deprivation. Social inclusion is a process whereby the varying needs of a community are recognised, prioritised and met. It is the positive management of diversity, encouraging cohesion, therefore reducing the likelihood of exclusion. Social exclusion affects all areas of a person"s life and the wider society. It can impact upon an individual for example leading to them not reaching their educational potential, resulting in higher risks of unemployment, poorer physical health and a greater likelihood to experience crime. The government has noted that transitions such as changing schools, leaving school, becoming a parent, relationship breakdown and retirement are times when people are most at risk of becoming excluded. Similarly the government has noted that people with multiple disadvantages are less likely to access services and receive the support they need. Social exclusion can occur through disability or chronic health problems, people who lack skills or qualifications and people from some ethnic minority groups. Social exclusion affects everybody, not just those directly experiencing the difficulties. It is economically inefficient since it can affect people"s health and behaviour, and that of the next generation. It can therefore result in increased costs of welfare and health services, which may impact on society as a whole by escalating problems such as crime and drugs. We want to enhance 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 3 social inclusion and help individuals and communities become more cohesive enabling them to thrive in the way they wish. 2 2.1 Introduction to Community Cohesion Social inclusion is an important part of community cohesion. If individuals feel excluded from their community they are more likely disrupt their community, therefore leading to reduced cohesion and increased tensions. The Home Office states that "community cohesion describes the ability of communities to function and grow in harmony together rather than in conflict. It has strong links to concepts of equality and diversity given that community cohesion can only grow when society as a whole recognises that individuals have the right to equality and respects and appreciates the diverse nature of our communities." In addition, the Local Government Association has defined key characteristics around a cohesive community, that: 2.2 2.3 there is a common vision and a sense of belonging for all communities; the diversity of people"s backgrounds and circumstances is appreciated and positively valued; those from different backgrounds have similar life opportunities; and strong and positive relationships are being developed between people from different backgrounds and circumstances in the workplace, schools and in neighbourhoods. 2.4 Community cohesion means different things in different areas. It is strongest when people have the opportunity to engage and participate as fully as they wish and on an equal basis with others. 4 3 3.1 Profile of Selby District Overall, Selby which is located in the County of North Yorkshire, is an affluent district with very low levels of social exclusion compared with England as a whole. Unemployment, poverty, poor health, poor housing, unacceptable behaviour and crime are all significantly below the national average. The district is peppered with individuals and groups that face social exclusion. Consequently the district has inhabitants with parallel lives; those who are included and those who are structurally excluded. There are areas in the district that experience higher levels of social exclusion. These need to be addressed to make our communities more sustainable, and to improve individual"s quality of life. As a mainly rural district, Selby covers 59,931 hectares. It has three main towns -Selby, Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster. The district lies at the heart of Yorkshire and occupies a strategic position within the Yorkshire and Humber and Leeds City Region areas. The majority of the 78,000 population is dispersed throughout the district in the many significant villages and remote hamlets. The Government Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) states that 75.6% of people in the Selby district live in "less sparse" rural areas; compared to an average of 18% across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Demographics Selby district"s population is predominantly of white (99.2%) ethnic origin; the tenth highest percentage out of all 376 districts in England and Wales. The most prevalent ethnic minority group is Chinese (at 0.2% or 115 people). The small ethnic minority population is scattered across the district"s towns, villages and hamlets. The percentage split is not expected to rise significantly to 2030. The increased numbers of Eastern European migrant workers and their families has been hard to accurately calculate over the last two years. However with the present economic climate it is predicted this trend will stop. Currently it is estimated that 1,500 (source) migrant workers and their families are now living in the district. At the 2001 Census, 41% of the district"s population was aged over 45. Whilst the numbers of those aged 0-19 in the district is expected 3.2 4 4.1 4.2 5 to remain around 18/19% to the year 2020, the percentages of those over 55 is expected to rise from 22% in 2005 to 28% in 2020. 4.3 Other relevant demographic information includes: There are three Traveller sites in the district at Brotherton, Carlton and Burn. It is estimated that there are around 20 caravans at each site and that the Traveller population is around 240 people. 4% are economically inactive due to disabilities and permanent sickness. Within Selby the largest faith community is Christian (81% of the population) 11% of the population professed to have no faith. We do not have accurate figures to reflect the lesbian, gay and bisexual community. 5 5.1 Accessibility / Transport Links Public transport within the district is a main priority when considering issues of social exclusion due to the rural nature of the district. The district"s transport network is poor with limited bus service between the towns. This a particular issue for those needing to access public transport in the more rural areas of the district. Community transport services across the district do ensure smaller villages have some transport links to the larger settlements. However, these services can be infrequent and evidence suggests that potential isolation and exclusion may occur for some groups. Retail and Leisure The main retail focus within the district is Selby town, though Sherburn and Tadcaster also make smaller scale contributions. Many residents also travel to retail outlets just beyond the district boundaries such as the Freeport Castleford Designer Outlet and The Designer Outlet, York. There are a large range of both public and private sports and leisure clubs within the district serving local needs. In particular there are leisure centres in Selby Town and Tadcaster. In addition, rural centres provide community halls and facilities for their own residents and those from smaller villages nearby. Social Infrastructure 6 6.1 6.2 7 6 7.1 The Selby district is not recognised as a deprived area. In the 2004 assessment of the least deprived areas in Britain it was ranked 265th out of 354. This is supported by a higher than average household income, low unemployment, low crime levels and a well educated work force. It is also reflected by a longer life expectancy and a lower mortality rate compared to the UK average. It is important to note that in rural areas social exclusion is marked by surrounding affluence, so serious deprivation can go undetected by national indicators. The way forward for Selby district Our approach is to improve service design and delivery. Extending the reach of what works to those who need it most, to improve social inclusion and community cohesion as part of a wider corporate structure. This strategy is designed to support those principles. Below gives details of how the strategy will move forward. With our partners we will: Lead with confidence on inclusion and cohesion matters. Make sure outcomes in the inclusion and cohesion strategy and action plan are delivered. Enable the community to respond effectively to threats to inclusion and cohesion values. Strengthen the bonds between partner organisations which deliver inclusion and cohesion activities. Challenge myths and change public perceptions. Contribute locally, regionally and nationally to the inclusion and cohesion agenda. Our local residents will: Be able to contribute to the development of their locality and community. Be more involved in how services are developed and provided. Feel that services and resources are accessed and distributed fairly. Feel safe living and travelling in Selby district. Increasingly get on well with and respect people from other communities. 8 8.1 8.2 8.3 7 Have empathy for people who are disadvantaged or vulnerable, whatever their background. Develop a greater sense of belonging to Selby district as a whole. Feel that inequalities are being dealt with positively to the benefit of everyone. Make the most of their opportunities to prosper and enjoy life in Selby district. 8.4 Our employees of LSP organisations will: Understand what social inclusion and community cohesion means and apply the principles to their work. Be able to talk confidently about social inclusion and community cohesion and make suggestions to improve and support it. Understand the vision for social inclusion and community cohesion and their own contribution towards it. Supporting the communities of Selby district By helping to create opportunities for the whole community we can build the confidence in individuals. These people can then take active roles within their communities that in-turn take responsibility for developing stronger, sustainable community relations. Throughout Selby district there are many traditions and values. At the same time newcomers to the district have their own customs and values. Everyone in the district has the right to have their traditions, customs and values understood respected. To achieve this it is important to: Develop a common set of values and civic responsibilities, resulting in a shared sense of belonging and greater mutual respect. Educate people to so they understand why people have different traditions, customs and values to help build tolerance, acceptance and understand what is and is not acceptable behaviour. Improve access to services and life opportunities for everyone. Enable everyone to have a say in how their locality is run. This will give a stronger sense of local identity and help increase pride in the places people live and work. 9 9.1 9.2 9.3 8 9.4 Selby district"s population is changing faster than any other area in the Yorkshire and Humber region (Office for National Statistics, 2007). We will use this as a source of strength, and will harness everyone"s potential to contribute to the common values of safety and security in existing and emerging communities. Achieving a sustainable, inclusive and cohesive society is a long-term journey. It will involve tackling underlying inequalities and tensions, and will require strong and effective engagement with all partners in each locality to be successful. What will be the implications for each locality? 10 10.1 Using national best practice and government guidance we will adopt an area/locality approach. The localities will follow the established boundaries of Community Investment Partnership (CIPs). These boundaries have already proved popular and successful with several engagement initiatives and will be the best way to tackle such issues in the district. Working strictly at a neighbourhood level would be unlikely to work due to the spread of population across the district and the consequent dispersed nature of the problems that lead to social exclusion and community tensions. 10.2 We recognise that each area/locality will have different needs. Therefore it is important that we, along with communities develop a shared understanding of the issues. Working in this way means that isolation and local tensions can be identified, discussed and addressed. 9 11 How will we achieve our Objectives? 11.1 To achieve our objectives, we have developed five themes. Each theme will focus effort into activities that will deliver practical and measurable outcomes. The themes are: 1 Leadership and communication: Strong leadership and effective communication will be essential to reduce individual exclusion whilst enhancing and maintaining community cohesion. Intergenerational issues: We will make sure that younger people are at the core of bringing communities together along with older people, helping them to be optimistic about the future, value the difference between the generations building an understanding of how diversity builds a stronger, resilient community. Community, faith, voluntary sector organisations and diversity: We will energize our partnership working with all groups and sectors to positively promote social inclusion and community cohesion. Positive sense of belonging: We will help all communities to develop a positive sense of belonging locally and encourage people from different backgrounds to come together more on a day-to-day basis. Preventing and managing tensions and high-risk areas: A wide range of organisation and agencies will work together to develop "early warning" systems that highlight underlying causes of social exclusion and community tensions. This information will then be used to prevent and reduce the potential for local disorder or more serious extremist activities. Each of the five themes will have detailed actions (see appendix 2) to support their implementation. These initial themes will be reviewed with other related issues regularly to make sure we are dealing appropriately with the right areas of social exclusion and concerns of the community. 2 3 4 5 11.2 10 12 Preventing violent extremism 12.1 We cannot ignore the development of extremism in British society. We recognise our collective responsibility to tackle the underlying causes. Preventing violent extremism is a significant factor in the development of this strategy. 12.2 Extremism within society is not restricted to any one part of the community. It makes cohesion harder to achieve. We need a strengthening of our communities alongside a partnership approach if we are to substantially reduce the risk of individuals and groups becoming involved in extremist activities. We are committed to developing a North Yorkshire/Selby District "Prevent" strategy, as part of the wider counter terrorism strategy. 13 Where do we stand locally? 13.1 We have a range of data and information from national and local sources. This data, our local knowledge and the information produced by the Institute of Community Cohesion have helped us to identify local challenges. Selby district has seen a significant change in the make-up of its population as stated earlier. Understanding and developing the change in social needs and issues, and changing economic conditions will become even more problematic over time. By recognising these current and forthcoming changes, together with the information in the recent study by the Institute of Community Cohesion, this strategy can highlight a number of significant issues for us to tackle. 11 13.2 These issues include: Separation and isolation across communities. People living parallel lives within communities. Under-achievement in education for certain groups. Concerns about extremism. Segregation by types of housing. Housing standards. 13.3 The voluntary sector and faith communities are contributing to positive community relations with "Selby Together" as a posative example which others might follow; this is a key area to build on. Along with other community groups, we will increase support and partnership working across all sectors to make sure cohesion is an essential part of the work that all bodies and groups carry out. 13.4 The way resources are allocated to particular areas and initiatives can act as a potential cause of community tensions. It is vital that we are open and clearly explain the reasons why funds or support are allocated to a particular locality or part of the community at any given time. It is important to recognise there will always be different issues and tensions in different areas at any one time 2. This key finding supports one of the principal aims of this strategy, which is to develop appropriate priorities and actions in each locality for each local situation. 14 Tackling inequalities 14.1 We are committed to tackling inequalities and disadvantage in our community in a fair, transparent and positive manner. The emphasis will be as much on raising achievement and aspirations, as it will be on working to narrow the gap between those who are disadvantaged and the rest of the community. 14.2 We are carrying out work across the district which is designed to tackle the issues of disadvantage and inequality. This is being done in areas such as early years and education, employment, health, housing, crime and criminal justice. We will monitor, encourage and influence this work through the LSP. The Selby district "Sustainable Community Strategy" is committed to tackling these fundamental issues. 12 14.3 With early years and education we know that attainment rates in Selby district are below the national average. This is particularly so in disadvantaged areas, and we will keep up our efforts to increase levels of attainment at all key stages and in A-level, adult, career and vocational education. Our aim is to reach or exceed national averages and to reduce variations between communities. 14.4 Improving employment opportunities for all is vital to the prosperity of all our communities. We will make a positive difference by: Increasing the number of new businesses in Selby district. Providing people with appropriate skills. Supporting local entrepreneurs, university staff and students, and social enterprise. 14.5 Housing is also a vital part of helping social inclusion and community cohesion. Currently there is an ongoing programme to: Increase in the number of affordable homes in Selby district. Improve in the standard of both public and private housing. Promote of social inclusion and sustainable neighbourhoods. 14.6 Activities through the LSP will also continue to tackle a range of issues to reduce crime and help people feel safer in their homes and communities. 14.7 We acknowledge that by increasing equality within our communities we will help to strengthen our local economy, bring greater social cohesion and improve well being and quality of life for all. 15 How this strategy and its priorities have been developed 15.1 Continuing involvement This strategy and its priorities will evolve over time. It is vital that everyone involved in its development plays an active role in monitoring progress and shaping its direction in years to come. 15.2 It is important that we make the most of opportunities for the whole community to become involved in developing and monitoring this strategy. 13 15.3 We will use a variety of methods to engage with all sections of the community to make sure a wide range of opinions and views are represented. 15.4 Representatives from all groups, partners, and voluntary and community organisations will be brought together each year to assess progress and to get the chance to help set priorities. 16 Legal responsibilities 16.1 The inclusion and cohesion agenda is directly linked to the equality and diversity agenda. National and local evidence shows that we must tackle the inequalities within our communities in order to bring about real change. 16.2 Statutory and voluntary organisations through the LSP have a crucial role in making sure that the principles of equality and cohesion form a fundamental part of all structures, programmes, projects, policies and strategies. Furthermore, recognising and valuing diversity must be central to Local Authority employment practices and service delivery. 16.3 Meeting our legal responsibilities will undoubtedly help us tackle the underlying inequalities in our communities. However, there are specific duties on cohesion: a primary one being the duty to promote community cohesion in schools and their governing bodies as part of the Education and Inspection Act 2006. The three key aspects for schools to address are: Teaching, learning and curriculum Helping children and young people to learn to understand others and to value diversity. Promoting shared values. Promoting awareness of human rights and to apply and defend them. Equality and excellence To ensure equal opportunities for everyone to succeed at the highest level possible. Engagement and extended services 14 To provide reasonable ways for children and younger people, and their friends and families, to interact with people from different backgrounds and build positive relationships. 16.4 Equal citizens – Different needs, embedding an equality and diversity enabling framework with all partners. 17 How we will monitor progress 17.1 No matter how effective the actions we take to improve community cohesion, we need a clear and straightforward way to monitor progress. Consistent and regular monitoring must take account of individual interventions and the difference they are making. Effective monitoring must also demonstrate how relationships between communities are improving. Each theme in this strategy has its own set of indicators and measures to help assess progress. We will regularly report the information gathered against these indicators to appropriate bodies across the LSP, and the results will be made public. 17.2 The indicators for each theme will be supported by the partnership, which will regularly look at information as part of the Local Area Agreement. The Local Area Agreement already has the headline indicator: "The proportion of people who feel that there local area is a place where people from different backgrounds and different ages get on well together". Localised performance indicators have also been developed for the five key themes within the strategy and the associated longer-term action plan. 17.3 It is not enough to develop and measure clear indicators on cohesion and inclusion. The partnership will: Develop a strong learning culture on cohesion. Share information with other relevant bodies. Act on the data it receives as part of the monitoring process; and Seek information from other bodies up and down the country to promote best practice and to ensure we are continuing to improve. 18 Accountability 15 18.1 Social inclusion and community cohesion is being put at the heart of all the activities and services we provide. As well as having a strong monitoring regime to assess progress, it is essential to be clear about the responsibilities we all have in strengthening community relations. 18.2 The equality and diversity enabling framework "Equal Citizens – Different Needs" has already set out the main responsibilities for key stakeholders. The areas covered in this framework set out how everyone can actively promote diversity and cohesion. 18.3 Being clear about the responsibilities that everyone has, combined with a strong monitoring process, will help cohesion issues to be embedded in both employment and service delivery. Once this approach becomes custom and practice there will be significant positive outcomes for all communities. 16 Links to supporting information still to be developed Appendix 1 - Action Plan Key contacts Drew Fussey, Safer and Stronger Communities Coordinator, Selby District Council TEL:01757 292151 email: firstname.lastname@example.com The consultation will end on Monday 23 March 2009 17

Concert For The Comet Kohoutek
by Sun Ra
Released: Jan 1973
Label: ESP-Disk
This record was recorded at New York's Town Hall in 1973 when the city was going through comet fever. The band zig-zags out of straightforward big band numbers and raw astral-themed funk before falling back into unadulterated, synthesizer madness. As the band (and the great vocalist June Tyson) tells you, "We open up the doors of the outer space employment agency."

Where to buy palms near Gainesville?
I am new to FL and new to this forum. We just bought a house in Gainesville and I would like to plant a few nice palms. We really like Canary Island, Medjool, and Sylvester palms (in that order). Diamond cut is the main reason we like them. They all seem to be doing Ok here in zone 8. Can anyone recommend a good local nursery that will sell these palms and not charge thousands of $$? We want to buy a couple of fairly established trees (about 3-5 feet of clear trunk). It will probably be quite expensive, that's why I thought I'd ask for advice.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you, wallisadi! I checked with HD but they are asking for a minumum $2,000 order to get those larger palms for me. I spent the day chcking the local nurseries and got the best deal from Mr. Good Tree (mrgoodtree.com). A Sylvester palm with 4 feet of clear trunk will cost me about $400 planted. Best deal I could find.
I heard a lot of contradictory information about Phoenix canariensis vs Phoenix Sylvestris. Most people say that Sylvestris is better suited for Gainesville but several landscapers recommended Canariensis over Sylvestris saying they do better in the winter. Any thoughts?

Customer reviews
By Ruby Escalona 08 Sep 2010
There are some scenes that reminded me of the Bible stories, while there are multiple quotable quotes within the book. I wrote them all down in my notebook so I'll have something to look back on when I return the book to my colleague. Did this book inspire me? Definitely. This book came at a right time when I was not in the mood to read any book, no matter how good it is. I've just lost the knack for reading right now, especially when my trip abroad is looming closer and closer. *yipee*
I also found out that the quotable quote "Live each day with love in your heart" was from this book! I've been reading that line for so many times now, but never knew where it came from!
Quick read? Yes. But you have the option to read the book and/or the principles again and again if you feel like it, and you believe with what the author was conveying.

Community Benefits from 2013 Project Community Convergence
As the semester winds down and the pressure of finals week starts to creep closer, nearly 140 St. John Fisher College students decided to roll up their sleeves to volunteer for the 2013 Project Community Convergence (PCC), led by Students With A Vision (SWAV).
On Saturday, April 13, and Saturday, April 20, the students spent their days in five Rochester City Schools providing them with a makeover. Schools No. 2, 7, 10, 34, and Monroe High School were the lucky recipients of these efforts. At Monroe and School No. 2, the group organized classrooms and closets. And Schools No. 7, 10, and 34 received freshly painted classrooms. In addition, the volunteers stationed at School No. 34 spread mulch and cleaned up the grass around the school during the first weekend.
Brandie Rice, one of the co-coordinators of the event, has been working with the committee since the beginning of the school year to prepare and finalize all of the details leading up to PCC.
"I volunteered last year for PCC and loved being able to help the Rochester community, especially in the schools. I am an education major, which is why I was inspired to help plan and coordinate the event," said Rice. "This entire event depends on the volunteers who willingly give their time to the Rochester community and we had very flexible and cooperative volunteers!"
Additional event support was provided by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Diversity Programs, Resident Student Association, Commuter Council, Student Government Association, and the Teacher Education Student Association.

The Quiet Before the Next IT Revolution 145
from the before-the-AIs-violently-revolt dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The article is a rather simplistic hardware-centric viewpoint. It doesn't even begin to touch on the areas where IT has always struggled: design, coding, debugging, and deployment. Instead it completely ignores the issue of software development, and instead bleats about how we can "roll back" servers with the click of a button in a virtual environment.
Which, of course, conveniently ignores the fact that someone has to write the code that runs in those virtual servers, debug it, test it, integrate it, package it, and ship it. Should it be an upgrade to an existing service/server, add in the overhead of designing, coding, and testing the database migration scripts for it, and coordinating the deployments of application virtual servers with the database servers.
Are things easier than they used to be? Perhaps for they basic system administration tasks.
But those have never been where the bulk of time and budget go.
Are things easier than they used to be? Perhaps for they basic system administration tasks.
But those have never been where the bulk of time and budget go.
They could be if you did not know what you were doing. Like I suspect the author of TFA did not know.
From TFA:
Where we once walked on tightropes every day doing basic server maintenance, we are now afforded nearly instant undo buttons, as snapshots of virtual servers allow us to roll back server updates and changes with a click.
If he's talking about a production system then he's an idiot.
If he's talking about a test system then what does it matter? The time spent running the tests was a lot longer than the time spent restoring a system if any of those tests failed.
And finally:
Within the course of a decade or so, we saw networking technology progress from 10Base-2 to 10Base-T, to 100Base-T to Gigabit Ethernet. Each leap required systemic changes in the data center and in the corporate network.
WTF is 10Base-2 doing there? I haven't seen that since the mid-90's. Meanwhile, every PC that I've seen in the last 10 years has had built-in gigabit Ethernet.
If he wants to talk about hardware then he needs to talk about thing like Cisco Nexus. And even that is not "new".
And, as you pointed out, the PROGRAMMING aspects always lag way behind the physical aspects. And writing good code is as difficult today as it has ever been.
"Most of us, when all is said and done, like what we like and make up reasons for it afterwards." -- Soren F. Petersen

George Church and Colleagues Provide an...
An interdisciplinary team of Boston University (BU) professors is launching a project to develop new ways to target protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with synthetic organic drugs. Financed by a four-year $1.6 million grant from the NIH, the goal is to develop new approaches for discovering drug-like small molecule inhibitors against challenging protein-protein interaction interfaces.
The work will determine if appropriately designed synthetic macrocycles can inhibit PPI targets while maintaining good drug-like properties. The test system is the intracellular PPI target NFB essential modulator (NEMO), a component of κB kinase (IKK) complex inhibitor. Chronic hyperactivity of the NFκB pathway is found in human inflammatory diseases and cancers. Inhibiting the interaction of NEMO with IKKβ, as a more targeted alternative to completely ablating all IKK kinase activity, represents a promising new approach for attenuating inflammation, the researchers believe.
Only about 10% of the potential drug targets in the human genome have been successfully targeted with marketed drugs, according to the BU group. Of the remaining 90%, a large proportion are intracellular proteins whose function is critically dependent on their reversible interactions with other proteins, they add.
Led by College of Arts & Sciences professor of quantitative biochemistry and drug discovery Adrian Whitty, Ph.D., the research team includes professors Sandor Vajda, Ph.D., and Dima Kozakov, Ph.D. (computational chemistry), John Porco, Ph.D., and Aaron Beeler (macrocycle design and synthesis), Ph.D., Karen Allen (x-ray crystallography), Ph.D., and Tom Gilmore, Ph.D. (NF-κB pathway biology).

Finita! Classical Music is Dying!
The New York Daily News reported last year that a national clown shortage may be approaching:
Membership at the country's largest trade organizations for the jokesters has plunged over the past decade as declining interest, old age and higher standards among employers align against Krusty, Bozo and their crimson-nosed colleagues. more….
While jesters and clowns in music—Rigoletto, Petrushka, and Pagliacci come to mind—have quite tragic stories, we hope the hype of clowning's fate falls into the Henny Penny category of "classical music is dying."
Knowing that jokes, pranks, and jestful schemes abound on April 1st, we will cry out that we're fatefully finished and Classical music is dying!
While you ponder that, here's some more foolishness for today courtesy of National Public Radio's Tom Huizenga. He points out, "pranksters are alive and well in music … from clever clowns to serious scam artists." We direct you to play your hand with his musical quiz to see if you can separate musical clowns and the outright scams. Click the image below to be taken to Can You Name That Musical Prank? via npr.org
Have fun … and, by the way, April Fools!

What appetizers do you serve with Champagne?
It is just the two of us on New Year's Eve, but I like to have some munchies to have with the Champagne so I don't get too buzzed. LOL. I usually make a blue cheese spread. Also fresh mozarella with tomato, fresh basil on crackers. Always have Brie. I have made some anchovy or feta or spinach puff pasty hors douvres too. I am not a big fan of pates or caviar. So what do you serve? All suggestions welcome.
Mini pickled pearl onions, puff pastry sausage roll bites, bacon rolled dates.
Just the two of us as well so more isn't needed as we'll be having vol au vent and salad afterwards.
This year it'll be salmon & mushroom vol au vent instead of shrimp.
I bet Ann's crab and Endive would be really good with champagne:
Ann's Crab and Endive
Fills about 24 leaves
1 2-oz. can whole pimentos
1 green onion
1 shallot
1/2 lb. cooked crab meat
1 tsp. prepared mustard
2 tsp. lemon juice
2-4 Tbl. mayonnaise
Salt and pepper
3 Belgian endives
Chop 1 pimento (reserve the remainder for another use), the green onion, and the shallot. Combine the crab meat, mustard, lemon juice, green onion, shallot, and 2 Tbl. of the mayonnaise, adding more if needed. Add the pimento and season to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika. To prepare the Belgian endive cut off 1 inch from the root end; carefully separate each leaf. Stuff Belgian endive leaves with crab meat filling.
Moe and I always have the same thing on New Years Eve. Lobster and Champagne. We have been doing this for over 30 years, with few exceptions. I don't even bother with appetizers. Sometimes I serve steamed asparagus to dip in the melted butter. But usually we just pig out on lobster. I have 4 one pound live lobsters on order that I will pick up later today. And a bottle of Veuve Clicquot chilling.
But if I were going to serve an appetizer I would choose from one of these three.

Escargot Stilton
Recipe of the Week
We have a new participant in our Guest Chef series this week - Todd White of Cafe Normandie. Todd is the Chef de Cuisine (in other words the number 2 guy) at Cafe Normandie. That's right - the same fabulous Frenchtown eatery that is the showcase for all the good things that Georges Johnson (another guest chef) prepares. You know these young upstarts - they want to show everyone that they're just as good as the boss - and I guess this recipe proves it. Todd says that he's been told by diners that this particular dish is "better than sex." I'll leave that decision up to you.
Todd White of Cafe Normandie
Escargot Stilton
1 dozen large snails
3 oz Stilton cheese, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
pinch of diced shallots salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg frozen puff pastry (I wouldn't dream of telling you to make your own - this is perfectly good)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Defrost puff pastry according to package directions.
Place 2 large snails in 2" x 2" puff pastry squares. Fold corners in and enclose. Place on greased baking sheet and bake in the oven until golden brown, approximately 13-15 minutes.
In a saucepan, place the white wine and shallots. Cook over medium high heat until reduced by half. Add the cream and again reduce by half. Remove from heat and add Stilton, stirring until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, divide the sauce onto 2 plates and place 3 escargot packets on each.
Just the appetizer to serve on a romantic occasion when the dining is a deux!

Phyllo Triangles with Lobster Filling
Posted by caliloo (My Page) on Mon, Dec 19, 05 at 16:04
Phyllo Triangles with Lobster Filling
Martha Stewart Entertaining
Makes about 50
1 Steamed Lobster
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
6 scallions finely chopped
¼ cup white wine or vodka
1 ½ tbsp all purpose flour
¼ cup heavy cream
pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 lb Phyllo
1 lb unsalted butter, melted
Remove meat from lobster and chop. Set aside
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small skillet and sauté the scallions for 2 or 3 min. Add lobster meat and wine or vodka and stir quickly to combine over high heat. Drain the mixture reserving the liquid.
Melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter in another skillet. Add the flour and cook slowly without coloring the flour for 5 minutes. Add the reserved liquid and cream and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir the lobster meat back into the cream mixture, add cayenne and season to taste. Cool completely before filling the triangles.
Prepare the triangles as you would sharons Spanikopita. If you need those directions, I can copy them over.
I do not know if these freeze, but I am not going to need all 50 for Xmas Eve, so I am going to give it a shot with the leftovers.
Everything sounds great! Except maybe the escargots. Sorry Ann T, just not a big fan though your photos make them look good. LOL. I like your idea of lobster. I might pick some up today or maybe some crab. I love them both!
We eat early so that is why we have snacks with the Champagne starting at 9PM and going to 10PM or maybe 11PM. I rarely make it to midnight any more. ;>)
Sharon's stuffed mushrooms or puff pastry with mushroom and roasted red peppers would also be good.

Stuffed Mushrooms
Posted by: chase (My Page) on Wed, Apr 13, 05 at 19:57
I don't know if this is inventive, actually they are so simple but they are d@mn good.
Stuffed Mushrooms
20 large white mushrooms
1/3 Cup butter (maybe a bit more)
4 or 5 green onions chopped fine
2 1/2 cups grated cheddar
1/3 Cups bread crumbs more or less if needed
Clean mushrooms and carefully remove stems. Chop stems and onions finely (I use the food processor). Melt butter in a saute pan. Saute mushroom stems and onions over medium heat until soft but not browned and the stems have given up their juices. Mixture should be quite moist. Add the bread crumbs, only enough to absorb the liquid. Add the grated cheese and stir just until it has melted. Don't worry if the oil separates from the cheese.~
Stuff the mixture into the caps and sprinkle with a bit of salt (or you can salt after they come out of the oven...which is what I usually do).
Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes or until the caps are nice and soft.

Mushrooms And Pimientos In Puff Pastry
The Foods and Wines of Spain
1 package puff pastry
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon minced onion
1 clove garlic minced
2 Tablespoons minced pimiento
preferably homemade
1/4 pound mushrooms, chopped fine
1/2 dried red chili crumbled or 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Teaspoons grated parmesan cheese
Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onion and garlic until onion is
wilted. Add the pimiento and cook for a minute, then the mushrooms,
chili pepper, salt, and pepper and saute until mushrooms are softened.
Remove from the heat and stir in cheese.
Roll the puff pastry to 1/8 inch. You can cut Cut into 1 3/4 inch
circles and place 1 teaspoon of filling on half of the circles. Moisten
the edges with water, cover with the remaining pastry circles, and
press with the tines of a fork to seal.
I prefer to make them triangle shape,by cutting the pastry into 2 1/2
inches squares, add filling on one half and then folding over corner to
form a triangle.
(May be prepared ahead and refrigerated) Place on a dampened cookie
sheet and bake at 425 F on the upper rack of the oven for 7 to 10
minutes or until golden.
( To cut down on work you could make this appetizer in a larger size
and Bake for about 20 minutes.) Then cut into wedges.
You reminded me of these that Chase had recommended to me! They are so awesome and easy!
La Gougere (Ann T)
NOTE: I do not make the ring , instead I drop from a Tablespoon and make individual ones.
H1 Cup water (or half milk/half water)
1/3 Cup butter
1/2 Tsp salt
fresh nutmeg, Grated (I use the canned spice)
cayenne pepper
1 Cup flour
4 eggs
1 Tbl Dijon Mustard
1 Cup gruyere cheese
1 Tsp milk
extra cheese for top
Bring the water/milk to a boil and add butter. When butter has melted remove pan from heat and add flour, salt, cayenne, nutmeg, pepper and stir vigorously with a big wooden spoon.
The mixture should come away from the sides of the pan and form a ball.
Place mixture in the bowl of a large mixer and add one egg at a time beating well, After you add last egg continue to beat well.
Mixture will be shiny. Add dijon mustard and taste for
seasoning. Adjust to your taste. Add coarsely grated cheese.
Butter a large cookie sheet and flour. Draw a small circle in the flour (about 2 inches wide) and proceed to drop thedough by tablespoon fulls around the outside of this hole, making a ring,
or a crown. Dough should be piled high.
Brush lightly with milk and sprinkle the extra cheese over top.
Bake the ring in the over for 45 minutes at 400F. Do Not Open Door.
After baking, open the door of the oven and leave the gougere in the oven for 5 minutes. It should be firm to the touch and golden brown.
