In 1945, the Red Sox struggled in their third consecutive losing season. Unfortunately, the Red Sox missed a chance to improve their team when they gave Jackie Robinson and two other African-American players an April 1945 tryout at Fenway Park but decided not to pursue the opportunity any further. Robinson would courageously break Major League Baseball's color barrier two years later. With World War II nearing an end, Fenway Park hosted a "Here's Your Infantry" show on Independence Day to help sell war bonds.
Record: 71-83, 7th in American League
Manager: Joseph E. Cronin
Attendance: 603,794
The final year of World War II was a difficult one for the Red Sox, who fell to seventh place again. Even before the season began there were efforts to force the Red Sox to integrate the team. Boston City Councilor Isadore Muchnick announced he would file a motion to deny the Red Sox their annual Sunday license unless they pledged not to discriminate. On April 16, 1945, Jackie Robinson, Marvin Williams and Sam Jethroe were given a tryout at Fenway Park but the Red Sox never followed up.
Three days later, Joe Cronin suffered a career-ending broken leg, though he remained Manager through 1947. One bright spot n 1945 was 23-year old rookie Dave "Boo" Ferriss, who broke onto the scene and threw 22 innings before he surrendered a run. Ferriss started 6-0 and finished the season with a 21-10 record, 2.96 ERA and five shutouts. He was the best pitcher by far on a team whose 3.80 ERA was the league's highest. Offensively, 39-year old Bob Johnson's 74 RBIs and 12 homers were tops on a roster that featured several players who played just one season for the team, which was not unusual given the war.
Another adjustment due to the war was the cancellation of the All-Star Game, which Fenway Park was scheduled to host in 1945. Due to travel restrictions, the mid-summer AL vs. NL match-up was cancelled and the leagues scheduled inter-league charity games in eight different cities to be played instead. Boston's United War Fund Game, an 8-1 Red Sox victory over the Braves on July 10, was one of the eight games scheduled, though only seven were played. The following year, after World War II was over, Fenway Park finally hosted its first All-Star Game.
In 1945, the road running along the right-field side of Fenway Park became a public street, Van Ness, and the area near the intersection of Van Ness Street and Jersey Street started to form as the a parking lot for the players.
On June 28, 1945, Archbishop Cushing held a field day at Fenway Park that included a pair of baseball games. In the first contest, the Cuban Stars defeated the Boston Colored Giants, 8-5. The second match-up pitted the top two CYO teams against each other, with Presentation CYO topping Holy Name CYO, 6-1. In early September, CYO baseball returned to Fenway Park as the CYO state title games were played there.

On Independence Day 1945, a "Here's Your Infantry" show at Fenway Park featured actress Helen Hayes. To be admitted to the show, patrons had to purchase one war bond, while men in uniform were let in free of charge. Before an audience of 20,000, there were demonstrations of hand-to-hand combat, the firing of rifles and machine guns, as well as flame throwers and bazookas. The Boston Yanks, meanwhile, merged with the Brooklyn Tigers in 1945 because of a shortage of players caused by the war. The team kept the Boston name and went 2-2 at Fenway Park that fall.

ROCKFORD — Family and friends gathered today after sundown to celebrate a Seder dinner as part of Passover.
The Jewish holiday entails praying and obeying a strict diet to pay respect to the Hebrews' flight from slavery in Egypt. Jewish families prepare a Seder plate — a ceremonial plate with designated areas for meal items — to symbolize their ancestors' journey to freedom, Temple Beth-El Rabbi Binah Wing said.
"(The story) talks about how the Jews went into Egypt, became enslaved. God heard our cries and brought us out of Egypt. We recall the 10 plagues," Wing said. "We sing prayers of thanksgiving, and we celebrate that journey from slavery to redemption."
Here is what each item on the Seder plate represents:
Karpas: The vegetable, typically parsley, is dipped in salt water to symbolize the tears shed by their Jewish ancestors.
Maror: The bitter herbs symbolize the bitterness of slavery. Jewish families typically use horseradish.
Charoset: This nut, apple and wine mixture symbolizes the mortar used to make bricks while enslaved by Pharaoh.
Zeroa: The shank bone represents the lamb that was sacrificed on the eve of the Exodus from Egypt.
Beitzah: The hard-boiled egg represents a sacrifice made in the Temple of Jerusalem.
Chazeret: This bitter herb, typically romaine lettuce, also is used to represent the bitterness of slavery.

Signing day 2014: Adrian Peterson made it look easy; 5-star backs no lock
On the surface, landing a five-star running back on National Signing Day is a blessing.
According to Rivals.com rankings, seven schools picked up five-star running backs this year, a deep class featuring Leonard Fournette (LSU), Joe Mixon (Oklahoma), Racean Thomas (Auburn), Sony Michel (Georgia), Dalvin Cook (Florida State), Elijah Hood (North Carolina) and Jalen Hurd (Tennessee).
CHART: All the 5-star running backs since 2002
MORE: Announcement times | Instant impact recruits | Top 10 for 2014
It boosts morale for the fans heading into spring practice, but wearing that five-star label can quickly become a curse. It's certainly not a guarantee for future NFL success. Rivals.com has tagged 43 running backs with five stars since 2002. Of those backs:
A total of 12 made an active NFL roster. Seven (Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush, Jonathan Stewart, Trent Richardson, Bryce Brown, Christine Michael, Marcus Lattimore) remain active today.
A total of 11 did not make it past the practice squad level in the NFL. Former Nebraska running back Marlon Lucky is the only one among that group that had more than 2,000 rushing yards in college.
Three — Lache Seastrunk, Isaiah Crowell and James Wilder Jr. — could either be signed or drafted in 2014.
So getting to the NFL is close to a 50/50 proposition.
That leaves this year's seven five-star backs to join 10 returners, led by Michael Dyer and T.J. Yeldon, two backs who have taken very different paths since winning national championships as freshmen.
While the NFL is the ultimate goal for the running back, all college fans care about is what that five-star running back does right now.
In short, everybody wants the next Adrian Peterson. Good luck.
The Peterson principle
Peterson, who played at Oklahoma from 2004-06, is the standard for which five-star backs will be judged. Between high school, college and the NFL he's has 3,278 carries, 19,171 yards and 181 TDs. Peterson is the only five-star back since 2002 to finish with more than 4,000 rushing yards and 40 TDs in college.
The trouble now is every five-star running back since — including Fournette — ranked No. 4 overall on Rivals.com — deals with that impossible standard.
Fournette might have the size, but an adjusted expectation for his college career would be 3,000 rushing yards. Brian McLaughlin, recruiting writer for Saturday Down South, said that can happen.
"Fournette is going to make an impact," McLaughlin said. "He already looks like a NFL player. A guy likes him because his build, it's already there. What really impresses (scouts) is the size. The speed is one thing; a lot of these guys have speed. When the guy is 6-foot-1, 6-foot-2, 225-pounds already, that's what impresses the scouts."
Other backs that cleared 3,000 yards include Bush, Richardson, Chris Wells and Jerious Norwood. Dyer (2,558 yards) and Yeldon (2,343 yards) are closing in on that mark.
So, why did the other five-star backs fail? There are several reasons.
Marcus Lattimore suffered two major knee injuries at South Carolina and spent 2013 rehabbing with the 49ers. (AP Photo)
Marcus Lattimore is the five-star poster back for injuries. Lattimore rushed for 1,197 yards and 17 TDs as a freshman, but suffered season-ending injuries to both knees in consecutive seasons. Lattimore spent this season recovering with the San Francisco 49ers.
Accumulated injuries also can cut a career short in the pros. Peterson, Bush, Stewart, Norwood and Kregg Lumpkin are the only five-star backs that played five years or more in the NFL. Wells dealt with foot injuries at Ohio State and lasted just four years in the NFL after being a first-round pick for the Arizona Cardinals.
Eight of the 36 running backs transferred from college at least once, a list that includes Seastrunk, Dyer, Crowell, Brown, Darrell Scott, Brandon Williams, Mike Bellamy and Jermie Calhoun.
Playing time and off-field incidents were contributing factors, but there's another component to consider with today's five-star backs.
"Social media changed a lot of things," McLaughlin said. "There is a me-first, now-first attitude that can be out there. I don't know if it's as much they feel pressure to believe they can play early and do well as they believe it is their right to play early and do well. That's led to some of the transfers."
Derrick Green ran for 270 yards and two TDs last season as a freshman at Michigan. (AP Photo)
Pressure to perform
That social media pressure works both ways. Five-star backs are often seen as immediate program changers by the fans, and that can backfire if there isn't success early.
Consider last year's five-star crop of Thomas Tyner (Oregon), Derrick Green (Michigan), Taquan Mizzell (Virginia) and Greg Bryant (Notre Dame). Those four backs combined for just 1,179 yards and 12 TDs last season — numbers they were expected to put up single-handedly. This quartet will be under scrutiny for their respective sophomore seasons.
Spread offense
The evolution of the spread offense affects the perception of what a big-time back really does for a program, and that's become a tricky situation in the scouting and ranking process.
"The all-purpose scat-back types; analysts are more gun-shy about putting them high," McLaughlin said. "The guys that look like a dominant player tend to get ranked higher.
"It just depends on which scheme the program is running. At Georgia, it's very important to have a good running back," McLaughlin said. "Now, I can also tell you when Urban Meyer was at Florida, he didn't necessarily get that 25-carry back because they knew it would be niche position."
Fournette, Mixon and Michel all are going to teams with a "Running Back U" reputation. Cook, Hood, Hurd and Thomas are going to schools with spread offenses.
Running back used to be the marquee position in college football, and that success was measured by the sport's most prestigious award. Nothing validates a recruiting win quite like a Heisman Trophy.
From 1972-83, 12 straight running backs won the Heisman Trophy, and three of those winners (Earl Campbell, Billy Sims, George Rogers) all became the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. Those guys almost certainly would've been five-star recruits had today's rankings existed.
Only seven running backs have won the Heisman since, and Bo Jackson (1986) and Ki-Jana Carter (1995) were the only No. 1 picks in the NFL Draft — two backs who dealt with career-ending injuries.
In the BCS Era, Bush is the only five-star running back who won the Heisman, and he had that award vacated.
Quarterback has taken over. Quarterbacks own every Heisman Trophy but one since 2000. Four of the last five No. 1 picks in the NFL Draft were quarterbacks. There's an overall sense that you can wait on running backs — even the five-star guys who have maximized their talent. For example, Peterson was the No. 7 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft.
"There is some cyclical side to it," McLaughlin said. "There are years when it doesn't seem like a quarterback is worthy of a five star. It can be that way with a lot of positions. I don't think you chalk it up to anything more than cycles."
The incoming five-star freshmen face all, but McLaughlin isn't ready to dismiss the notion that a five-star running back can make a splash right away. McLaughlin didn't bill Fournette as "the next Peterson," but there wasn't an immediate dismissal either.
"It's been a while since we've had a running back at the top of everything," McLaughlin said. "(Fournette) is pretty solidly on top of a lot of rankings. Sometimes you can tell when they just look like they are the next big NFL draft pick. With Leonard, you start to wonder a little bit."

One thing? One thing leads to more things, but if I had to start somewhere I'd say Noah's ark. Thirty million species? Even if we assume "parent" species which differentiated into the present population, tell me how these postdeluvian creatures gave rise to the current estimate in 4500 years.
If all species alive today were alive on the ark . . . Adam named them all? And the animals which have clearly evolved to live in extreme conditions (penguins, etc) somehow survived in the Garden of Eden's ambient temperatures, alongside naked humans, with all that blubber? And the animals who are carnivores with canine teeth and an inability to digest cellulose miraculously developed those features the moment Eve ate the fruit? And plants and animals grew defenses such as spines and poisons instantaneously? And humans suddenly felt discomfort, and women's pelvises became too small to birth children painlessly?
Which reminds me, as I mentioned briefly in an earlier post . . . the Tower of Babel? Despite fascinating research that shows beautiful phylogenic trees based on clear linguistic similarities traceable to about 50,000 years ago, I'm supposed to believe the Tower of Babel did it?
I forget, though. This is God we're talking about. Anything is possible because he's God. Omnipotent and such. Rules of logic don't apply.
Really, nearly every single thing about the Biblical Christianity and religion as a whole is so intellectually unpalatable to me that I'm embarrassed it didn't bother me sooner. Nearly daily I'm hit with a conceptual nugget that causes me to stop and wonder, "People [believers] are okay with that? I was okay with that?" Objections range from technical holes as mentioned above to larger issues of salvation, evil, sin, redemption, and such. It's like re-watching an old movie from my childhood now, as an adult, and seeing the creative plotwork and mature jokes that I never saw before. It's actually quite exciting.

For more information: Attend Building an identity and access management architecture from SearchSecurity.com's Identity and Access Management School.
Smart Shopper: IAM products
Speaker: Richard E. Mackey, principal, SystemExperts, ISACA/CISM
One of the most difficult challenges organizations face is managing the identities of employees, customers, partners, and services. Companies invariably find themselves burdened with managing identities from many different internal and external organizations and controlling access to resources these identities use. Historically, companies haven't been motivated to find a centralized solution to this problem. However, with the increased requirements of regulatory compliance like SOX, HIPAA, and GLBA, many organizations have recognized that centralized management of identity and access control is critical to their everyday operations. This session looks at the capabilities of IAM systems and how organizations are using them to meet their requirements.

The spectacle of Formula 1 in Spain
Vista frontal de un coche de Fórmula 1 durante una carrera
Spanish sport is onto a good thing. Fernando Alonso is not only the youngest two-time Formula 1 champion ever, but is also largely responsible for the huge motor-racing following that has been unleashed in Spain. Come and see for yourself: you can experience all the excitement of a Grand Prix, find out how teams prepare for the race, or, better still, become the star of the circuit yourself.
Spectacular starts, overtaking manoeuvres right on the edge, dizzy speeds and a world champion called Fernando Alonso. The brilliant performance of Spanish drivers in the Formula 1 Championship has meant there are more and more fans of the sport here every day. This international competition is the toughest, and there is only room for the best. People in Spain live it with real passion. Come and share it with us and enjoy Formula 1 to the full.
Racing cars in action
The Formula 1 World Championship comes to Spain with the Spanish Grand Prix. It lasts for three intense days, and there is a very special atmosphere. The stands are overcome with the desire to enjoy the stunning spectacle of the fastest cars in the world. Fans come from all over, dressed in the colours of their team, flying flags in support of their favourite drivers and waving banners of encouragement. Meanwhile, the wait for the race start is made more enjoyable by a visit to the pit-lane, the official team shops or the bars and restaurants to be found within the circuit. Giant screens are installed all around the track so you will not miss a single detail of the race and the classification stages beforehand.
If you want to see the world's best drivers in action, then you should make your preparations well in advance, given that last year all the tickets were sold out three weeks before the race. The Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix is held at the Circuit de Catalunya (some 30 kilometres from Barcelona). Spectators with a pass for all three days will also have access to the pit area, with the chance to get a close look at the frenetic activity and the spectacular single-seaters.
Training sessions and races
Formula 1 in Spain is more than just the Grand Prix. Many teams choose Spanish racing circuits to train, test prototypes and prepare for the following season. These preparatory sessions are open to the public, and you can attend for a reasonable price (3-5 Euro). The legendary Jerez Circuit in Cadiz province and, of course, the Catalonia Circuit are regular names in the big teams' diaries. The latter venue even organises guided tours of the facilities on these days.
Would you like to get to know the rising stars of Formula 1? If so, you should not miss the F-3 races held in Spain. This category is the stepping stone to Formula 1 and you can often see races at circuits like Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Jarama in Madrid and the Albacete circuit. If you prefer to be the protagonist, and feel the excitement at the wheel for yourself, be sure to sign up for one of the open sessions that the circuits often organise throughout the year. You can also rent the circuit for a day: prices vary according to the time of the season and include complementary services like pit stops. In Spain, cars and speed come together, giving you the chance to live the most exciting of experiences. Don't wait any longer - the lights are green.

And my secondary love interest that seems to flow endlessly among the notes and drumbeats that fill our ears might have became more apparent with the multiple blog postings of the Rays own acts that have graced the stage during their Hess Express/Rays Saturday Concert Series photo and commentary blogs over the last several years.
But there is another hidden part of my life that only a small community of people who have known me since my first days of High School have seen up close and personal. They are my longtime friends who have known my deep rooted passion to music and that singing is one of those hidden talents that only that select lounge full of people have ever experienced firsthand.
And maybe my everlasting love of the crescendo of the musical notes and thunderous drum beats have been made more than obvious by my photo blogs and commentary after every Rays Concert series act over the last few years.
Well, that is unless you live in St. Petersburg, Florida and go to some of the places I frequent after Rays games, then you would know I love to get up there and belt out a song or two before finally retiring to the house to rest up for the next day's game. But one of my early musical influences is coming to Clearwater tonight for his first ever acoustic music set in the beautiful Capitol Theatre.
But I am sorry Southside of Chicago fans, this singer of classic soft rock music classics like "Hold Onto The Nights", "Hazard" , "Right Here Waiting" and "Now and Forever" that still today make all of us remember lost romance and new found love is a huge Chicago Cubs fan deep in his heart.
And he made that love more than apparent in the video for "Take This Heart" where Marx is brought up as a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs of the Game 7 of a World Series against Baseball Hall of Fame member Dennis Eckersley.
The video was filmed in Oakland's own home stadium in 1992 and features baseball players Greg Maddux, Dan Howitt, Eckersley, Jose Canseco, fellow Hall of Fame member Rickey Henderson, and an old Tampa Bay friend of mine A's catcher Scott Hemond.
Got to say I love the way the video drew out the game storyline throughout the song with Marx falling behind Eck with an 0-2 count before connecting on a well hit hitting a long fly ball that sneaking past Howitt's outstretched glove into the left-centerfield stands for a Home Run.
But in a nice touch, Marx is immediately woken up by one of his fellow band mates and it is all a dream. But as you see Marx looking into the camera you hear Brewer's announcing legend Bob Uecker barreling out the line "The Cubs have won the World Series". It is one of my favorite baseball videos more for the moment we all dream about as kid's to one day be in that same position and to come through with a blast to win the World Series.
And in 1992, I did get out to Oakland, but it was right after Marx and his band were finished with their video takes, and retakes for that "Take This Heart" video.So I am looking forward to shaking his hand and getting his autograph like I wanted to do way back in 1992. For those who have heard me sing know I have an affluence for ballads, and Marx produced some of the best in the 1990's and beyond.
But here is a side note most people do not know about this great artist. He was actually heard on a demo cassette tape by Lionel Richie and brought the then 18-year old Marx out to Los Angeles to record back-up singing tracks on a few of Richie's earliest albums.
Marx then was referred to Kenny Rogers as an great back-up addition and one day Marx overheard the recording techs discussing with Rogers that they were one cut short of finishing the album. That night Marx went home and produced a song and played it for Rogers the next day. The song was "Crazy" and it ended up being a Country number one song. Not bad for your first entry into the songwriting business to be a Gram Slam.
Marx never did another Baseball-themed video, but then once you do one where you bat in the bottom of the 9th inning against a closer legend and get a pinch-hit Home Run to win the Cubs the World Series……There is no place to go but down after such a dream sequence, and I do not see Marx heading that route anytime soon.

We tried Costco's new burger and it's not a 'Shake Shack' clone
No, Costco's new food court burger is not a Shake Shack doppelgänger, but you should still hope it comes to a warehouse store near you.
The big box retailer has been testing out a $4.99 burger at its food courts in a few locations on the West Coast. In May, EaterLA posted an item about how the burger "looked an awful lot" like the burgers from Danny Meyer's Shake Shack restaurants, based in New York.
That's all well and good — they were going off of a photo, which is all they had at the time — but since then folks have run with the comparison. It's time for a reality check.
With all of this in the news (and with an already-planned road trip from the San Francisco Bay Area to Seattle), tracking down this burger seemed preordained. Truth be told, I have a special affinity for the Costco Food Court since a summer job there was the only non-newspaper job I've ever had.
So, here's the deal:
Costco says the 1/3-pound burgers are made with "organic ground beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato, with our own special sauce on a brioche style bun."
They are $5 food court guilty-pleasure good, and then some, but let's be honest: you don't get the $1.50 hot dog because it's the pinnacle of American sausage-making, so rein in your expectations.
The bun is soft and light with some egginess, but still on the lighter-side in color. The quality of the bun is what stands out to me the most about the new burger. Combined with crisp lettuce and fresh tomatoes, Costco is off to a good start here and the "special sauce" was applied sparingly.
Shake Shack famously smashes their patties (which are much smaller) on a griddle or flattop and the results are beautiful and caramelized. This is probably the defining characteristic of their product.
What you get at Costco is a lean, pre-formed patty that is somewhat strangely daisy shaped and is cooked to medium in a small char-broiler. The result is nothing close to the same, but it's not meant to be.
Those familiar with the Roma tomatoes on burgers from the 'Shack will also notice that Costco uses more of a Jersey tomato.
Story continues below video...
The cheese on the burger I had was not melted due to a hiccup in the process at the Costco I visited (they temporarily ran out of cheese and had to send a runner out for more), so it's not clear to me whether it's standard practice to melt it onto the burger or not.
Irrespective of cheese-doneness it's a solid fast food burger and will surely be a crowd pleaser, though my personal preference would be for something a little smaller. It's also worth noting that Costco food courts do not have deep fryers, so you definitely won't be getting fries with that.
Costco corporate is being somewhat tight-lipped about the trial and the potential roll-out of the burgers. So far they appear to be available in the Seattle area, some stores in Southern California and — at least according to Reddit users — in Livermore and Folsom, California.
I would happily lay down five bucks for one of these burgers on my weekly Costco shop should the company make them available more widely, just don't expect a Shake Shack-like cult following.

They're not breaking any laws.
They're not breaking any laws.
To clarify-I went to Concord Law School one year. After that one year, I switched and went to Novus completing their requirements to graduate in two years. I did not take the Baby Bar, I was not interested in taking any bar exam, I am retired. I do work as a paralegal and the course work between the two schools has helped me in my job as a paralegal. My work on a criminal case resulted in a not guilty verdict for our client. Novus does have two accreditations and yes-As a retired college professor I am aware of their non ABA status. My work was supervised by a Juris Doctorate, won't give his name out without permission. It is up to each individual to decide the path they want to take-And the ABA is nothing more than a dues collecting organization. A state Supreme Court judge, where I live, does not believe that online school graduates should be kept from taking the bar just because they are not graduating from an ABA school.JUSTICE HEIPLE, dissenting:By the amendment to Rule 711 and by Rule 703, which was previously adopted, this court recognizes only law schools which have been approved by the American Bar Association. I both dissent and object to these rules because they represent an improper delegation of a governmental and judicial function to a trade association of lawyers.The American Bar Association is a voluntary association of dues paying lawyers (currently $225 per annum) that exists for the benefit of its members. No lawyer is required to belong. Most do not. It clothes its parochial existence with an overlay of public activities and pronouncements designed to convince the general public that it is interested in the general welfare. That its primary focus is the benefit of its members, however, is beyond question. That the American Bar Association is a trade association warrants neither commendation nor condemnation. As a trade association engaging in improving the status of lawyers and lobbying Congress and the State legislatures, it is on a par with any other trade association. It is decidedly not, however, an arm of the State of Illinois nor of this court.It is improper for this court to assign and delegate to that organization the ultimate decisionmaking function of deciding for the State of Illinois which law schools warrant official recognition. It would be proper, of course, for this court and its Board of Law Examiners (now, Board of Admissions to the Bar) to consider and weigh the evaluations of the American Bar Association in considering which law schools are to be approved. The work of the American Bar Association in evaluating law schools could be considered as relevant evidence in that regard. No objection could be raised to that procedure.This court, however, has no right to delegate its decisionmaking function to the American Bar Association, the Teamsters Union, the Republic of Uganda or any other such body or group. If the rule asserts a valid principle of law, then this court could as well assign all of its decisionmaking functions to others who might be considered experts in their field.For the reasons given, I respectfully dissent.
USDLA exists, anyone can join, it is a lobbying not accrediting organization:http://www.usdla.org/become-a-member/Same with CAEL, so the organizations are not fake, its just they do not accredit.It would be like claiming your AARP membership makes you a lawyer.

LOVE this soup--and it's been added to my soup favorites. I did have to make a few changes: family does not like corn and leaving it out made the soup a bit thin, so I separately cooked a couple of potatoes (diced, boiled, and slightly mashed) before adding them to the soup; the addition of the potatoes made this more chowder-like. I added half of a carrot (grated, which provided another color to the soup); and because of trying to keep costs down, I added the flaked-version of imitation crab meat. The soup is even better the next day. Truly delicious!
Apr 28, 2013
This is sooooo delicious. Thanks for the recipe. I had to adjust this for my own way of eating but stayed true to the recipe as much as possible. I subbed arrowroot for regular flour, butter for the canola, canned coconut milk for the heavy cream (only because I didn't have any) and skipped the corn because I am grain free.
Feb 19, 2013
This was really good. I didn't have any corn so I made it without, but it was really good even with out the corn. Will make this again. *** My second review **, I now used the corn in it was better yet with it, and since my first review I had made this soup over and over again.
Jan 19, 2013
Most seafood soups have an overpowering taste of cream and seafood, but not this one it's perfect.
Jan 16, 2013
I thought roasting the corn was a step that didn't produce much additional flavor. Next time I will make it quicker by adding corn cut from cob or even from a can. Would otherwise keep this recipe as is. Family loved this recipe and will definitely be made again and again.

Leatherback turtle sanctuary set up on West Coast
Federal regulators designated nearly 42,000 square miles of ocean along the West Coast as critical habitat for the Pacific leatherback turtle Friday, far less than originally proposed but still the largest protected area ever established in American waters.
The protected area is the first permanent safe haven in the waters of the continental United States for endangered leatherbacks, which swim 6,000 miles every year to eat jellyfish outside the Golden Gate.
The designation, by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, was a bittersweet victory for environmentalists, who have been fighting to protect the marine reptiles from extinction.
The 41,914 square miles that the NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service protected along the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington did not include the migration routes the turtles take to get to the feeding grounds. That means 28,686 square miles of habitat originally proposed for the designation was left unprotected.
"It's a big step in the right direction, but we want protections for migratory pathways," said Ben Enticknap, the Pacific project manager for Oceana, an international nonprofit dedicated to protecting the world's oceans. "I guess we've got a lot more work to do to get there."
How protection works
The regulations will restrict projects that harm the turtles or the gelatinous delicacies they devour. The government will be required to review and, if necessary, regulate agricultural waste, pollution, oil spills, power plants, oil drilling, storm-water runoff and liquid natural gas projects along the California coast between Santa Barbara and Mendocino counties and off the Oregon and Washington coasts.
Aquaculture, tidal, wave turbine, desalination projects and nuclear power plants will have to consider impacts on jellyfish and sea turtles. For instance, the repermitting of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, in San Luis Obispo, will probably come under scrutiny.
The regulations are a response to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco in 2009 by the nonprofit environmental groups Turtle Island Restoration Network, the Center for Biological Diversity and Oceana. The groups had been trying since 2007 to establish critical habitat for leatherbacks under the Endangered Species Act. They accused the government of failing to protect the reptiles from gill-net and longline fishing, oil drilling and a variety of other activities, including wave-energy projects.
California habitat
The new ruling covers 16,910 square miles along California's coast from Point Arena (Mendocino County) to Point Arguello (Santa Barbara County) to a depth of 9,000 feet. The remaining turtle habitat stretches from Cape Flattery, Wash., to Cape Blanco, Ore. seaward to a depth of a little more than 6,500 feet.
The only other critical habitat established for leatherbacks in U.S. waters is in a small area along the western end of St. Croix, in the Virgin Islands. There is also some critical habitat in Puerto Rico for green sea turtles and hawksbill sea turtles, but nothing as large as the new designation.
Turtle advocates are worried that the decision to leave out migratory routes will leave the giant sea creatures vulnerable to long lines and drift nets dragged by oceangoing vessels, which often mistakenly hook and entangle marine mammals and turtles.
Both longline and gill-net fishing are banned along the West Coast during leatherback migration, but Teri Shore, the program director for the Turtle Island Restoration Network, said the fisheries service is considering plans to expand gill-net fishing for swordfish.
More threats
"Threats to these turtles are increasing, not diminishing," said Shore, whose organization also goes by its Web name, SeaTurtles.org. "We don't want to see the leatherback turtles go the way of the grizzly bear and disappear."
Leatherbacks, known scientifically as Dermochelys coriacea, are the largest sea turtles in the world, sometimes measuring 9 feet long and weighing as much as three refrigerators, or more than 1,200 pounds. Their life span is not fully known, but biologists believe they live at least 40 years and possibly as long as 100 years.
The worldwide population has declined by 95 percent since the 1980s because of commercial fishing, egg poaching, destruction of nesting habitat, degradation of foraging habitat and changing ocean conditions. Listed as endangered since 1970 under the Endangered Species Act, there are believed to be only 2,000 to 5,700 nesting females left in the world.
Pacific leatherbacks leave their nesting grounds in Indonesia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea and swim across the Pacific Ocean to forage along the West Coast in the summer and fall. It is the longest known migration of any marine reptile.
Golden Gate jellyfish
They are often seen feeding on jellyfish in the shipping lanes outside the Golden Gate, in Monterey Bay and Bodega Bay. Assemblyman Paul Fong, D-Cupertino, said Friday that he will introduce legislation designating the leatherback as California's official marine reptile in an attempt to call attention to its plight.
The newly protected zones will extend 200 miles out to sea, but they won't protect the slow-moving creatures from floating plastic bags, which look like jellyfish. A recent study found plastic in the intestinal tracts of 37 percent of 370 leatherbacks that had been found dead.

Students in a North Texas school district have new options after a huge uproar over the dress code.
Back in May, about 170 students were suspended for dress code violations and that led to disruptions in the school cafeteria at Duncanville High School.
Monday night, school leaders tweaked the school dress code.
Under the new changes, students will no longer be required to wear belts and they can wear shirts without a collar and untucked. However, shirts must still cover their stomachs and pants cannot sag.
U.S. & World
Still some parents don't agree with even the slightest changes.
"I personally think the new policy gives too much leeway for the children without the belts and the shirts not being tucked in," said parent Ronchelle Chaffin. "I think they're going to go overboard with that because they're going to come in sagging, they're going to say you need a belt, but if you refer back to the dress code, you don't need a belt."
Under the old policy students were only allowed to wear certain colors. Chaffin said a change so close to the new school year isn't fair to some.
"Some parents have already bought their children uniforms and you'll have some kids straightened in their uniforms and some kids just now getting that information, they'll get to wear their jeans and different color shirts so it's unfair to the parents as well," she said.

Country Music People review of Country Music Pioneers On Edison
Country Music Pioneers On Edison
This is a fascinating - and important - collection of recordings made by the Edison Company between 1922 and 1929. In 1976, collector Marritt Malvern was given the task of transferring a library of Edison masters to archive tape, and Country Music Pioneers is the first (hopefully) in a series documenting this vital part of country and popular music history.
Although the booklet states that 90% of these were unissued, according to the monumental Tony Russell discography, Country Music Records, A Discography, 1921-1942, most have catalogue numbers allocated to them, which would indicate release.
Certainly one artist not even mentioned in Russell's tome is Shirley Spalding whose recording of Somewhere In Dixie, made in 1922, is the earliest here. So little is known of this musician, if anything, that the CDs artist bio's fail to mention him or her at all. In fact, Somewhere In Dixie is an arresting banjo piece, heavy in the mistrel tradition, that must have been a swansong of that magical minstrel era which, although now regarded as politically incorrect, produced a wealth of music that continues to be sung and hummed to this day.
An odd name to find on this collection is that of Gene Austin, better known as the crooner who enjoyed a multi-million seller with My Blue Heaven during the Charleston era. In 1924, three years before that historic release, he recorded many songs with blind guitarist/harp player George Reneau, two of which are included here, The Railroad Blues and as The Blue Ridge Duo, Lonesome Road Blues. In fact the former title is listed as a Vocalion, not Edison, release by Russell, but perhaps this is an unissued re-cut made by the pair when they recorded for Edison.
Of course, back in the Twenties, it wasn't unusual for the singers and musicians to record the same titles over again for different labels - these were the years before heavy contracts and even heavier lawyers invaded the music business.
The most prolific of these multi-take performers were Vernon Dalhart and his longtime partner Carson Robison who, together and separately recorded under many names. A tune in point is the delightful Just A Melody which the duo first recorded with When You're Far Away on June 16, 1926 for Brunswick. A day later, they were in the studio again recording the same two titles for Columbia. One month on, July 16, finds them cutting the two tunes one more time, now for Okeh, and then finally for Edison, the version here, on July 26.
Garth Brooks had nothing on these guys when it came to marketing.
Dalhart and Robison were at it again with Kinnie Wagner which they recorded for both Columbia and Vocalion two months apart in 1926, although Russell shows no listing for an Edison recording.
A novelty is Nonsense, by Carson Robison's Madcaps, a kind of predecessor to Sid Millward and the Nitwits. It's a wonderful, rollicking instrumental complete with swinging banjo, oboe and bassoon!
Others included here, in a collection to whet the appetite of every serious fan of oldtime music, are the banjoist Fred Van Eps, fiddlers Jasper Bisbee (the oldest entrant at eighty years of age when he recorded The Devil's Dream), Allen Sisson, Posey Rorer, James Powers (Fiddlin' Powers and Family), vocalist and guitarist Frank Marvin (as Frank Wallace) and the most well known, Pop Stoneman as himself and as the Dixie Mountaineers (and are the untraceable Rail Splitters also Stoneman under an assumed name?).
A cracking introduction to the country music history of a legendary record company. Can't wait for volume two.
Many thanks to Craig Baguley for this review.

Ex-Guinea top officer charged with torture
Human rights activists in Guinea say that a former head of the country's presidential guard is now facing torture charges.
Aboubacar Sidiki Camara is accused of ordering the torture of 17 people back in October 2010.
Thierno Madjou Sow, the president of a Guinean human rights organization, on Friday applauded the court's action.
Activists say the presidential guard arbitrarily detained people and tortured them upon the instruction of Camara and his co-defendants.
Guinea descended into chaos in late 2008 when the longtime dictator of the West African country died. A subsequent coup further destabilized the country and democratic elections were not organized until late 2010.
The case against Camara is one of only a handful brought against those accused of human rights abuses during the turmoil.

FC fibre adapter to allow fibre input to integrating spheres and free beam optical power meter detector heads.
This adapter uses our proprietary design to eliminate back reflections into the detector which would otherwise result in miscalibration of the detector.
The mounting holes are compatible with our P50 and G65 integrating spheres.
An integrating sphere is an instrument which collects light through its input port and through multiple diffuse reflections produces a homogeneous optical power density over its inner surface. The power loss of the sphere is through leakage out of the input and exit ports as well as absorption at each internal reflection. At equilibrium, the power loss will equal the power input.
Since the inner surface of the sphere is designed to have low absorption loss (high reflectivity), the power density on the inner surface of the sphere will be higher than the input power density. This ratio is the so-called sphere multiplier "K". Theoretically, this factor is given by
K=ρ/[1-ρ(1-a)], where "ρ" is the reflectivity of the sphere inner surface and "a" is the ratio of the total area of the input and exit ports to the total area of the sphere inner surface. Since "ρ" has a value close to 1, the ratio "a" has a sensitive impact on the K-value.
Consider placing a black anodized plate onto the input port of a 50mm integrating sphere with a 12.5mm input port. The ratio "a" including exit ports is about 1.7% leading to a K-value of approximately 27. The black plate may reflect up to 30% in the NIR [Marschall, et al; SPIE 2014]. Placing such a plate over the input port is effectively the same as reducing the port area to 70% of the original value: 10.5mm which gives a K-value of approximately 30. This means the integrating sphere will miscalibrated by about 15% when the plate is mounted.
Artifex Engineering has addressed this issue by designing fibre port adapters which reflect so little light back into the integrating sphere that the miscalibration is less than 1% when the adapter plate is mounted.
Detector miscalibration due to back reflections <1%.

One of the most popular requests I receive is to post pictures of our tattoos. I rarely show them, considering I don't even wear bikinis, let alone scandalous belly shirts. However, I decided to take some pictures and show you. Just one of mine (I only have two) and several (but not all…not even close) of Bobby's. I didn't photograph my other tattoo because it's a really lame one. Since Peter will surely call me out and tell you all what it says, I'll beat him to the punch. It says "she wakes up lonely" and yes, it's on my lower back. I know. Really, I know.
Mine. The geisha is an original piece of art, specifically intended for this tattoo, by André Greppi. The tattoo was done at Chrome Lotus in Orlando, by Brian (he's no longer there). I don't have a heart wrenching or deep story behind this; I just wanted to get a geisha and I knew I wanted it to be a little more modern, less traditional. I'm 1/4 Japanese…does that count? Nah, I just knew that's what I wanted.
Bobby's arm – clearly unfinished. He has bad luck with tattoo artists leaving him with unfinished pieces. One day, he'll get it finished.
A horrible picture of his left forearm – a depiction of the Rosemond watercolor we have hanging in Kim's room.
His feet (he has ribbing marks from his socks, haha).
Another unfinished piece.
O Captain, my captain. Whitman, not Every Time I Die – but I always think, "O captain, my captain, you've been drinking – what happened? I've been slurring my cadences and blacking out when I stand."
So, now you know. Do you have any tattoos? Link me to pictures!
Love love,
Keiko Lynn

Maryland ban on arsenic in chicken feed takes effect
Maryland has become the first state to ban an arsenic additive in chicken feed.
A law banning the additive is among new state laws taking effect on Tuesday.
Last year, state lawmakers passed a bill banning the use of Roxarsone, a chemical used to help the birds grow and fight parasites.
Pfizer Inc., which distributes Roxarsone, stopped selling the chemical in July after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration study found higher levels of inorganic arsenic in chicken treated with the additive than those that were not. Arsenic is a known carcinogen.
Opponents said the measure wasn't needed because the company voluntarily suspended sales of the product.
