If You Only Share A Tiny Bit Of A File Via BitTorrent, Is It Still Copyright Infringement?
from the depends-on-who-you-talk-to dept
They send us a list of IP addresses and say 'this IP address was involved in a breach on this date'. We look at that say 'well what do you want us to do with this? We can't release the person's details to you on the basis of an allegation and we can't go and kick the customer off on the basis of an allegation from someone else'. So we say 'you are alleging the person has broken the law; we're passing it to the police. Let them deal with it'.The trial has been going on recently, and while I haven't been following the details that closely (figure it's worth waiting for the verdict), there was one interesting tidbit. As the company had suggested earlier, it's arguing that sharing a file via BitTorrent is arguably not copyright infringement at all. That's because of the way BitTorrent works, in breaking up any file into tiny components and sharing the individual pieces. A key element of copyright law is looking at how much of the content is shared. Down in Australia, they have a "fair dealing" exception to copyright law that appears to allow for copying small portions of a work, and some precedent of short video clips not being considered infringing.
While I would be quite surprised if this argument worked (even if it may be technically correct, it's so rare that judges pay attention to the technical aspects when it comes to copyright), I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen this argued elsewhere as well. Of course, if it does actually work, it will only turn the focus back towards the question of whether or not "making available" violates the distribution right of copyright, since that would cover what BitTorrent users were doing, if they offered up any unauthorized content (even if they actually shared only a tiny fraction).

Whats worse is that he pays for his books, thus condoning Marvel's behavior. If The Outhouse cared for his well being at all, they'd try and get him into some sort of rehab center. But, alas, none of us even know how to say his name. For a good time, ask Super why Captian America jumped off the Helicarrier in Fear Itself.

The French Catholic newspaper La Croix, one of the most important Catholic newspapers of France, devoted a place to a news item about a conference tour held by Harun Yahya"s representatives in France in its January 31st, 2012 edition. In the item titled "One of the Most Prominent Supporters of Muslim Creationism Visited France", it was noted that conferences organized in Evry, Drancy, Villejuif, Sapin, Elboeuf and UOIF mosques and especially fossil exhibitions had drawn great interest from the Muslim community. The defeat of the theory of evolution in the face of science was also mentioned in the presentations where it was noted that atheism faced great destruction in the 20th century, and the 21st century will be the century of faith.
In addition, the effect of the Atlas of Creation, which was sent to all of the most important organizations and individuals of Europe in 2007, was mentioned as well. In the item, it was also pointed out that the conferences were announced on prominent billboards on the Champs-Elysées and it was of the utmost importance that conferences were organized at Theatre du Gymnase Marie Bell, which was one of the most important and oldest theaters in Paris.
"Adnan Oktar, the leader of the Turkish organization working under the name Harun Yahya, held a conference tour in France… The conference was about these topics: End of Atheism, Beginning of the Era of Faith; The Molecular Collapse of Evolution; The Miracles of the Qur'an
Together with every conference, the fossils that are exactly the same as their living examples today were displayed. It was told that these fossils proved that living beings were created by Allah and have not changed for millions of years… Conferences were announced with posters even on Champs-Elysées… ASN France organization, which is the French branch of Harun Yahya, organized a conference even at the theatre of Gymnase in Paris."

It is also steeped in legend. It takes its name from Conall Gulban, son of Niall of the Nine hostages, who was fostered here. Fionn Mac Cumhaill finds his son Oisín naked under a rowan tree on Benbulben, having not seen him for seven years. It is also the spot where Diarmuid Ó Duibhne is finally killed by a boar, after he and Gráinne have been pursued for many years throughout Ireland by Fionn. Sometimes spelt Benbulben. Benbulbin is the 484th highest place in Ireland. Benbulbin is the most westerly summit in the Dartry Mountains area.

A more scenic beginning, at Glencar Lough, would be hard to find and from here there is the aforementioned 8 .5 miles of walking along hills and cliffs above the beautifully crafted valley of Glencar. Park beside the lough (758437 E) and take a road up through the forest to the hilltops high above the lough. It is then a case of following the highs and lows above Glencar for 6.5 miles to the top of Kings Mountain. This brings the first views of Benbulben and they are well worth the wait - the crumpled sheer drops and then curving green slopes bringing a strangely femine allure, sexy even. There follows a up to and along the ridge to the summit area. This was pleasant in evening sunshine, with bees busy in the heather. Views to the N soon appear - Donegal Bay, Slieve League, the Bluestacks and the Derryveaghs. The Glendarragh valley to the NE had rows of white peat bags laid out in rows like those war graves in the WW1battlefields in France, beyond the ridge of Benwhisken rose and ended abruptly like the deck of an aircraft carrier. To be honest the summit disappoints, being bare and damp with a forlorn looking trig pillar. It is a good thing then that the views are fantastic. I could see Sligo Bay and city to the S and a line of hills from the Ox Mtns to Nephin, the Nephin Begs and Slieve More and Croaghaun on Achill. Out W the whole Atlantic was before me, with the late sunshine pushing shards of light towards land. Across Donegal Bay a large trawler was lit up like a proverbial Christmas tree just off Killybegs harbour.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 4 (UPI) -- Discredited Tour de France cycling champion Lance Armstrong is registered in a masters swim meet this weekend in Texas, U.S. swimming officials said.
Armstrong will be participating in the Masters South Central Zone Swimming Championships, the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman reported, and will be swimming against other middle-aged men.
U.S. Masters swimming doesn't drug test competitors and isn't under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Anti Doping Agency, which banned Armstrong from competing, the American-Statesman said.
Rob Butcher, the executive director of masters swimming, told the newspaper that the agency has no issues with Armstrong competing.
"The purpose of our organization is to encourage adults to swim," Butcher said.
Armstrong, 41, has entered the meet's three longest races -- the 500-, 1,000- and 1,650-yard freestyle. He's seeded second in the 1,000 freestyle and third in the other two events.
Armstrong, who began his competitive career as a swimmer, couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday.

Blood thinners are medicines that help prevent blood clots. Al though they are called blood thinners, they don't really thin the blood. They slow down the time it takes for a blood clot to form.
You have to be careful when you take blood thinner medicines. They can raise the risk of serious bleeding. But you can do some simple things to help prevent problems.
This Actionset is about all blood thinner medicines except warfarin (Coumadin). There are some extra steps you have to take if you take warfarin. To learn more, see Warfarin: Taking Your Medicine Safely.
A blood thinner slows down the blood's ability to form clots. This helps prevent clots that can cause life-threatening problems such as stroke, heart attack, and pulmonary embolism. These medicines also can keep blood clots from getting bigger.
Blood thinner medicines work in different ways to prevent blood clots. But all of them raise the risk of serious bleeding. This can happen from an injury, or it can occur suddenly inside your body.
Blood thinners include medicines called antiplatelets and anticoagulants.
Examples include:
When I take blood thinner medicine, my blood takes longer to clot.
A blood thinner works by increasing the time it takes for blood clots to form.
It also keeps an existing clot from getting larger.
Continue to Why?
Blood thinners make your blood take longer than normal to clot. This can cause serious bleeding.

Continue to How?
You can take blood thinner medicine safely by taking a few steps:
Call 911 if:
Call your doctor right away if:
If you are injured, apply pressure to stop bleeding. Realize that it
will take longer than you are used to for the bleeding to stop. If you can't get the bleeding to stop, call your doctor.
Give your list of medicines to every doctor and dentist who treats you. Taking certain medicines along with a blood thinner can cause bleeding. It also can change how well your medicines work.
To avoid problems:
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, talk with your doctor. You and your doctor will decide what medicines are safe for you during pregnancy. Do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to.
For information about taking aspirin safely, see Low-Dose Aspirin Therapy.
Check with your doctor as soon as you can before any surgery or test (such as a colonoscopy). You may need to stop taking your blood thinner or some of your other medicines up to a week or more before the procedure. Your doctor will tell you when it is safe to start taking your medicine again.
If you have a high risk of falling, make these changes in your life to prevent falls:
Make these changes in your home to prevent falls:
To prevent injuries, be careful with your activities:
I am taking a daily blood thinner and have never taken ibuprofen before. Since ibuprofen is an over-the-counter drug, I don't need to call my doctor's office about taking it.
When taking a blood thinner, you must check with your doctor about safety before taking any prescription medicine, over-the-counter medicine, antibiotic, vitamin, or herbal product.

Now that you have read this information, you are ready to make sure you are taking your blood thinner medicine safely.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Only Female Employee in Philips' Dallas Warehouse Sexually Harassed by Manager and Co-Workers, Federal Agency Charges
DALLAS -- Philips Lighting Entertainment, a division of Philips Electronics North America Corp., subjected a female employee to a barrage of sexual remarks, touches, and lewd sexual exposure by the manager of her department and co-workers during her employment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC, Kewanda Lawson was hired by Philips Lighting Entertainment in May 2007 as a temporary employee and became a permanent Warehouse Lead in September 2007. Lawson was the only female in Philips Lighting's Dallas warehouse department. Even before becoming a permanent employee, the EEOC alleges that Lawson experienced unwelcome sexually vulgar comments, advances, and touches by the warehouse manager, Trent Bertrand, and by several male warehouse workers. She endured unwanted touches, requests for sexual relations, money being rubbed on her body, forced kisses, derogatory names such as "b---h" and "slut." One employee even exposed himself to her on the job. Lawson reported the harassment to management but nothing was done to stop the harassing conduct or impose timely discipline on the harassers. Ultimately, Lawson resigned.
"It is unacceptable and illegal for an employee to have to endure continuous and unwelcome sex-based comments and conduct while on the job; and even worse, for a company to fail to act when complaints are made," said EEOC Senior Trial Attorney Devika Seth. "A company this size should have the knowledge and resources to effectively handle complaints of sexual harassment. In this case, Phillips failed in its duty to comply with the law."
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (Civil Action No. 3:11-CV-02431-O), was brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace and requires an employer to prevent and promptly correct sexual harassment. The EEOC seeks compensatory and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief. The agency filed suit after investigating the case, finding reasonable cause to believe that the alleged discrimination took place, and first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement.
"We would have liked to resolve this case short of litigation, but sometimes law enforcement is needed to enlighten employers," said Robert A. Canino, regional attorney for the EEOC's Dallas District Office. "This facility of Philips Lighting has apparently been willing to operate in the dark with regard to its duty and responsibility to provide a healthy working environment for its employees."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

I have troubles to actually classify the non-scientific ideology of the Nazis - that include the concept of a master race, the jews being their arch enemy... - as a political one. Thats closer to a religion then anything I would classify political (God's chosen people... infidels/heretics as arch enemies of another religion...). Then again there was also personality cult, thats something I consider political (although its not unseen in religion - the pope could be seen as an example for personality cult too).
Meh, now that Nazi-tourette-man actually made me think about his stupid comparison - what a filthy feeling.

I listened to that Glenn Beck clip myself. It was too stupid to even be offensive. In the same video he mentions that he thinks Geert Wilders is from Denmark, so not a very well researched program overall. You'd think he'd make a bit more of an effort, seeing as how it is his job.
And just for the record, those kinds of camps are nothing like any sort of thing you might imagine if you've seen Jesus Camp or anything like that. (Certainly nothing like Hitler-Jugend, lol) It's mostly just kids having fun, with some political speeches and workshops thrown in.
That isn't to say I think they are a great idea, but they're nothing like the dystopian vision that, among many others, Glenn Beck thinks them to be.

A lot of youth camps have some kind of agenda behind them, though not usually a bad one. It can be as simple as, say, wanting to spread wilderness survival skills and love of the countryside, or bringing together people of a certain social or religious background.
I see nothing wrong with this so long as it doesn't become cultish, a la jesus camp or Hitler Youth.

Lovely, now he's been quoted as praising Japan as a "model nation" .... having a mass serial killer praise you doesn't really appeal...
As for the camp... good grief its no more dangerous than the Campus Mainstream Political Club on any given campus. To even insinuate a comparison to "Hitler Youth"... well, the United States branch of the Boy Scouts make a better comparison to Hitler Youth than this sort of summer camp (caveat: yeah, i was in the Boy Scouts before they went christian fundamentalist crazy at the top tier).

But he praises a lot of people, ideas, works of arts, books and so forth in the incredibly long manifesto, believe me, I've read a good deal of it. I don't really think there's any point going over all of it and lamenting his approval of them, that would be a long and arduous task indeed. He even lists his favorite movies and other personal facts by the end. They're The Passion of the Christ, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and 300, by the way.
Also, I'm sure to no one's surprise, he's a big Ayn Rand fan.

* Note that he did not inform anyone of what he had planned to do, and this does not in any way implicate the church of any of the other worshipers or clergy in any way whatsoever.
Breivik should not be linked to any Christian organizations he was not a part of, extremist or otherwise. But he was a Christian, and defending the Christian values of Europe was very much part of his agenda, right down to the name he gave his supposed group "Knights Templar Europe."

But, it is important to keep in mind that almost always, religion doesn't give command to kill people, it is who people kill people. Kinda like guns.

Can think of the Crusades, the Ottoman Empire and its precursors, and (pre-Christian) Rome's various wars with Judea off the top of my head if you just want to stick to ancient history and nothing 'modern'.
A religious war is a righteous war, God's on your side meaning you can do no wrong... apparently.
I'd say Buddhism is pretty bloodless.

In comparison to the other 3 though? I've never really looked at Buddhism - and gave up on the other 3 years ago. Was it ever used as an excuse to carve out an empire, and to kill thousands (millions?) who didn't follow your beliefs and so on.

Trying not to stray too far off topic here, but let's just make we're sure on what is actually being claimed when he says that a Christian cannot be responsible for mass murder. I'm pretty sure what he's claiming isn't that the obvious events that come to mind of most informed people never happened, but that these the people who committed them, in spite of their claims, were not actually following "Christian teachings." They were hence not true Christians, but either mere pretenders or deluded fools who misunderstood, hence not true Christians.
It's still wrong and absurd on the face of it. Trying to impose your own definition universally on something that has a history of incredibly broad interpretation and over 30 000 denominations alive and well, each with their own each idea of what a true believer constitutes, just doesn't hold water.

blinded by blood
Was he a Christian before he shot 68 people and bombed Oslo? If we went back in time, two or three years ago, and knew Breivik then, would he be a Christian?
O'Reilly is basically legitimizing the idea that someone can be a Christian and perform all sorts of shady activity, but the moment they're caught, OH NO THEY WERE NEVER A CHRISTIAN.

One way to learn about the real world is to see how other cultures see it, and Japanese philosophy student Akihiko Sasaki noticed some big cultural differences in his visit to Redwood Falls this month.
From 1993 until 1996, Jeannie Uhlenkamp of Redwood Falls taught in a Japanese school.
"I was in Japan from 1993 to 96, teaching an English conversation class at a school in the northern part of Japan," she said last week.
While she was there, two of the married teachers who helped sponsor her time in to Japan had a son: Akihiko.
Last week, Akihiko, now a 19 year old university student majoring in philosophy, repaid the favor by visiting Uhlenkamp in Redwood Falls.
"I wanted to visit the Uhlenkamp family, using my spring vacation at university," he said.
During his visit to Redwood Falls, Sasaki visited alpaca and horse ranches, visited a sheep farm, and made impromptu speeches to the Redwood Falls Rotary Club and at Reede Gray Elementary School.
Sasaki arrived in Redwood Falls on Saturday, March 23, and stayed until Wednesday, March 27.
What part of his visit did Sasaki like best?
"Visiting the elementary school and playing with the children," he said, smiling.
Any disappointments?
"I ride horses almost ever day, and planned to ride here, but it was to icy," he said.
Sasaki said the environment of northern Japan is similar to southwestern Minnesota's, although it's obviously flatter here than the mountainous region he's from.
At 19, Sasaki is still trying to decide what he wants to do when he grows up. Why study philosophy?
"I was interested in biology, but then I became interested in psychology," he said. "I realized this subject was not clear to me.
"I read a book about philosophy, and became interested in old Greece philosophy, such as Plato and Socrates. I am worried about my career, so now I want a field that is related to a lot of other fields, like science."
What did Sasaki want to be when he was growing up?
"I wanted to be a man who has superpowers," he laughed, "but I didn't get superpowers, so I study philosophy."
Would he be interested in becoming a teacher, like his parents?
"In Japan, teachers have a stable salary, but not a high salary. They have to work harder and harder. Education in Japan gradually is more complex because the world is changing dramatically."
What about the United States startled him most?
"Here, you sort of help yourself to your host's refrigerator. It's very different," he laughed. "It's much more casual here. Hugging! That is very strange for Japanese, but I like it.
"I like the fast food. The food and drink selection and portions here are huge. I also like the system of the drinks at the fast food stores. You can go back and drink again and again.
"Although my trip is short, everyone has been very kindly, so thank you everyone."

STATE DIVING: St. Marys' Taylor finishes 15th in state
CANTON — St. Marys sophomore Madison Taylor made the most of her opportunity at the state diving championships, making it past both of the cuts and finishing 15th in the Division II girls competition at Canton McKinley's venerable C.T. Branin Natatorium on Wednesday morning.
"I just feel honored to make it through all the cuts with it being my first year, it's just awesome," said Taylor, draped in a towel on the deck of the pool after the completion of the more than three-hour competition.
After all, Taylor knows what it's like to have the opportunity taken from her. After a scoring snafu at the district tournament a season ago kept her from taking her rightful spot at state, Taylor dedicated herself to making sure there was no question about a trip to state as a sophomore.
"Last year was heartbreaking," Taylor said. "Being second at district and making sure I was going to state, I proved them wrong. I came back from it and it didn't affect me."
"This year she made a statement," St. Marys head swim and dive coach Amy Wenning said on Wednesday.
Taylor finished second at the district meet at Bowling Green State University and followed it up with a resilient performance in Canton. After her second dive didn't go well, she bounced back with one of her best of the day.
Wenning thinks that's the major difference between Taylor as a freshman and now as a sophomore.
"Last year if she had a bad dive, it was difficult for her to come back from it," Wenning said. "Last year we thought she'd make it to state for sure and she struggled a bit at district and then there was the scoring situation. This year she's kept herself together mentally, and that's the biggest thing. She also practices a lot with Carrie, our volunteer diving coach."
Taylor thought she held up well in the chlorinated pressure box that the state swim and dive meet can become.
"When it gets down to the end it's all nerves," Taylor said. "But that's just like any meet."
Taylor finished the finals with a score of 335.7. Andrea Aquista won the state championship with a score of 419.25.
Taylor made 11 dives on the day, with her degrees of difficulty rating from 1.6 to 2.3. Wenning said Taylor added two dives to her routine that bumped up the level of difficulty for the state stage.
Taylor and her competitors shine in one of high school sports' most unique competitions that balances strict technique and the harsh realities of judge's instantaneous scoring with the artful dives that have all the precision of a gymnastics floor routine in a matter of seconds off a diving board.
A panel of six judges scores each dive, using divisors based on the dive's degree of difficulty.
Now that Taylor has this year's experience under belt, she thinks it will help for possible future visits to state.
"A lot," Taylor said.

There was a time when people never thought of uttering "sex scandal" and the name David Letterman in the same sentence. It's not as though the late night host was squeaky clean, he just didn't seem like that kind of guy ... that is, until he was. Sitting down with Oprah Winfrey recently for an episode of Oprah's Next Chapter, he opens about the incident and makes a shocking admission. According to Letterman, the whole sordid affair may have actually made his marriage stronger. Sounds crazy right? It's not and here's why.
Just six months after he married Regina Lasko, his longtime girlfriend and mother of his son Harry, the cheating scandal made headlines. He came clean to his wife and his fans on Late Night With David Letterman, telling everyone that he had an affair with a woman who worked for him. But there was more to the story, which Oprah managed to get out of the legendary funnyman. Since admitting to the affair, "I feel better about myself and my relationship with my wife has never been better," he said during the interview.
He added, "I want to be the person I always thought I was and probably was pretending I was. I hurt a lot of people... I'm not looking to blame anybody. I'm looking to find out why I behaved the way I behaved."
It was a regrettable decision, to be sure, but the entire embarrassing mess actually made his life better in a lot of ways. It's a hard concept for a lot of people to accept, but entirely possible. He was not himself when he had the affair -- or at least not the person he wanted and needed to be. Sometimes when you are faced with losing something so significant, it makes you realize what you really want and really need in your life. There is no doubt that he loved Regina and the life they had built with one another. Making that massive mistake and having it exposed put that life at risk. It seems since, he has worked hard to be the spouse she deserves.
I certainly don't think Letterman is alone in his realization. Lot of people who get caught in similar indiscretions pray for that second chance. Nearly losing everything you truly cherish can make a relationship stronger because you actually appreciate it on a profound, new level. At that point, you are never more sure of what you have and how terrible your life would be without it.
Do you buy this? Can an affair can make a relationship stronger?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—With an 8-2 win today at Striplin Field, the 22nd-ranked Birmingham-Southern baseball team completed the three-game sweep of Centre to remain undefeated in the SCAC at 9-0.
The Panthers move to 24-6 overall with their sixth straight win.
BSC scored the first runs of the game in the bottom of the first inning when freshman Zach Wagner doubled down the right field line to drive in two runs. The Panthers added three more in the bottom of the third courtesy of an RBI double down the right field line by sophomore Austin Justice and a two-RBI single to left field by freshman Trey Chambers.
The Panthers went up 6-0 in the bottom of the fourth when they scored on a Centre error, and the Colonels finally got on the board in the top of the fifth, scoring two runs on an RBI single by Cameron Fishman.
BSC added single runs in both the bottom of the seventh and eighth innings, courtesy of an RBI single from sophomore Ethan Netherton and a home run by junior Bruce Maxwell, to go up 8-2.
The Panthers recorded 11 total hits, led by Chambers and senior Jon Walker who were both 2-3 and Maxwell who was 2-4.
Freshman Paul Caudill started on the mound and threw 4.1 innings, giving up four hits and both earned runs with four strikeouts. Junior Blake Yance came in for the next 3.2 innings and got the win to move to 5-0 on the season, giving up three hits with two strikeouts, and freshman David Bourbonnais finished the last inning, getting one strikeout.
The Panthers go on the road for their next three games, beginning with a non-conference date against LaGrange this Tuesday, April 10, at 7 p.m. ET.

Author Notes: I loved the idea of this contest, but I found it difficult to come up with just one recipe. I come from a family of really wonderful cooks. For us, sitting down to a meal is not just about eating to nourish our bodies, but food provides comfort, sustenance, and, most of all, love. The recipe that I finally decided to submit is one that I grew up eating, and throughout my childhood, was my favorite dish. I first tasted it in my great-grandmother's kitchen. She immigrated to America from Italy, and she was an extraordinary cook. I remember that she had a brick oven in her backyard, where she would make homemade pizza and bread. She would make ravioli on her kitchen table and roll the dough out with a broomstick handle. But the dish that she is really remembered for, by everyone in my family, is her Sunday sauce. This is the ragu that she made every Sunday morning before going to church. She would serve it in the afternoon as part of an elaborate Sunday dinner to her husband, children, and grandchildren. When my great-grandmother's son married a young Irish woman (my grandmother) she had to learn how to make this sauce. When my grandparents' son (my father) married my mother (who is of Mexican descent) my great-grandmother taught my mother how to make this sauce. Now I make it as well. But like all of the women in my family, I have slightly altered the ingredients and cooking techniques to make the sauce my own. But despite the changes I have made, I still consider this the sauce that I grew up eating. I now make this sauce for my own six-year-old daughter, and it is my hope that when she grows up, she will make it for her children and remember its roots. This is not week-day evening cooking, when dinner can be on the table in 30 minutes. If I want to make a pasta sauce on weekday evenings, I usually turn to a fresh pomodoro sauce or an aglio e olio sauce. No, this is a weekend sauce, ideally made on a Sunday, when the cook cannot be rushed. It takes time to roast the meats, simmer the sauce, and taste the ingredients as they come together. But it is the most rewarding dish thatI know how to make, and despite its simplicity, it always receives accolades.
Some cooking notes: What gives this sauce its incomparable flavor is the pork, so don't be tempted to substitute another ingredient. Go to a butcher shop and get homemade Italian sausages. I guarantee that you will taste the difference in the sauce. As for the bones, the best cut is neck bones, which is what my mother uses. However, I find these hard to source, so really any small pork bones will do. I have used spare ribs, pork side bones, and a farmer at my local greenmarket sells me pork soup bones. All have worked well. Do not discard the bones after you have made the sauce. They are wonderful to gnaw on. (In fact, the bones were my grandfather's, my mother's and my favorite parts of this dish to eat. We used to fight over who got to eat them!) As for the tomatoes, use really good quality tomatoes. You can definitely taste the difference. I like Muir Glen organic Roma tomatoes. Try to find a brand without a lot of added salt. And any sort of dried pasta will work with this dish, but I like a shape with some ridges and corners that the sauce can cling to. Penne Rigate or rigatoni are both good choices. My favorite pasta brands are Italian imports -- Latini and Rustichella D'Abruzzo. Once you have tasted pasta made from bronze casts, you will never go back to supermarket pastas. - cookinginvictoria —cookinginvictoria
Food52 Review: We're suckers for an old school ragu that calls for actual bones, and the fact that this is an all-pork sauce really piqued our interest. Cookinginvictoria has composed a Sunday sauce worthy of passing on -- it's uncomplicated, and nothing is done without good reason. She roasts pork bones and both hot and sweet sausage before bathing them in tomatoes and aromatics and then lets everything bubble gently for several hours -- as cookinginvictoria writes, "honestly you cannot cook this sauce too much." The finished sauce is vibrant red, studded with chunks of sausage and flecked with lots of fresh parsley, an herb that is too often employed as a garnish and not for its clean, grassy flavor. You can pluck out the bones before serving, but we preferred to leave them in -- just make sure to warn your eaters! - A&M —The Editors
Serves: at least 4 with lots of leftover sauce
pound pork bones (see head note), cut into approximately 2-inch pieces
tablespoons salt (or more to taste), divided
links sweet Italian sausage
links, spicy Italian sausage
medium yellow onion
small garlic cloves (about 3/4 ounce)
tablespoons Extra Virgin olive oil
small can (5.5 oz) tomato paste
large (28 ounces each) cans good-quality tomatoes (see head note)
bay leaf
cup fresh parsley, chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
pound dried pasta (a shape such as rigatoni or penne is best -- see head note)
cup fresh basil, julienned
cup Pecorino Romano cheese (or more to taste)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Place a baking rack over the foil and place the ribs on the rack. There should be a little space between each rib. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place baking pan in oven and roast for 30-40 minutes (the bigger pieces you may have to turn halfway through) until nicely browned and caramelized. Remove pan from oven and with tongs take each rib off the rack. Place on a paper-towel lined plate to further drain.
- On cutting board, carefully remove casings from sausage. Slice each link into four pieces, or simply pinch off balls of sausage about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Set each piece of sausage on wire rack (no need to wash the rack beforehand). Place baking pan in oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until sausage is browned and caramelized. It usually is not necessary to turn the sausage, but you can if you wish. Remove pan from oven and turn off oven.
- On cutting board, cut onion into medium-small dice. Thinly slice garlic cloves, then roughly chop. (You don't want the garlic pieces too small or they will burn.) Heat a large, heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add olive oil. When oil has warmed, add onion and saute until just beginning to turn golden brown (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add garlic to pan and stir frequently. When the garlic aroma becomes heady and fragrant (watch carefully to make sure garlic is not browning too quickly), clear a hot spot in the pan with your wooden spoon. Add tomato paste and saute until the tomatoes begins to release their fragrance. Mix tomato paste with onion and garlic mixture and add 5.5 ounces of water to pan. (Easiest way to do this is to simply fill tomato paste can with water.) Drain juice from canned tomatoes and reserve about a cup of it. Add bay leaf and tomatoes to pan. You can add tomatoes whole -- they will cook down. Or simply cut each tomato into about four pieces with kitchen shears before adding them to the pot.
- Bring tomato-onion-garlic mixture to a simmer and add pork bones and sausages, nestling them carefully into the sauce. You want enough meat to flavor the sauce, but not so much that it overwhelms the tomato sauce. Lower heat and cook tomato sauce at a low simmer for about two hours, stirring occasionally. During the first hour of cooking, if level of sauce in the pan begins to evaporate, add reserved tomato liquid, as needed. After the first hour of cooking, add water to the sauce instead if sauce is looking too thick. The sauce will smell wonderful as it cooks, infusing your home with pork and tomato aromas. Inhale and savor, and pour yourself a glass of your favorite red wine.
- After about two hours of cooking, begin to add salt, about 1 teaspoon at a time. Let sauce cook for about 15 minutes, so that the salt's flavor can be absorbed before adding more. Add a few grinds of fresh black pepper and the parsley. Taste and adjust the seasonings until the flavors are to your liking. Continue to cook for another half hour or so. (Total cooking time should be at least 2 1/2 to 3 hours, but honestly you cannot cook this sauce too much. The longer it simmers, the better it will taste.)
- About half an hour before you are ready to eat, fill a large stockpot with water. Bring to a boil and add a tablespoon or two of salt. Taste it and see if you can taste the salt. If you can't taste the salt, then add a little more. When water is rapidly boiling, add dried pasta. Give a good stir with a slotted spoon and bring back to a boil. Cook for about eight minutes, then begin tasting the pasta. When it is al dente (just slightly chewy, but not hard) drain pasta, but reserve a cup or two of the cooking water.
- If the sauce looks too thick, add a ladle or two of pasta water. Warm a big spaghetti serving bowl with some of the pasta water. Add a ladleful of sauce to the bottom of the bowl. Top with a tablespoon or two of cheese. Add a few large spoonfuls of pasta. Top with sauce, more cheese and a sprinkling of basil. Add another layer of pasta, sauce, cheese and basil. Keep layering the ingredients until the bowl is full. Add bones and sausage around the edges of the bowl. Top with a handful of basil and more cheese.
- Serve pasta in bowls with additional grated cheese and basil. Pour some more red wine, and serve with warm bread. Enjoy!
