REDDING, Calif. (AP) - A Northern California man suspected of killing his wife and two daughters has been added to the U.S. Marshals Service's list of most-wanted fugitives.
The service announced Tuesday that it had put 45-year-old Shane Franklin Miller on its "15 Most Wanted" list. Shasta County authorities have been looking for Miller since his family was found shot to death at their Shingletown home in May.
His truck was found about 200 miles away in Humboldt County, but an extensive search turned up no other traces of him.
The slayings of Miller's 34-year-old wife, Sandra, and daughters Shelby and Shasta, ages 8 and 5, came two weeks after sheriff's deputies escorted the wife from the home following a domestic dispute.
A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Miller's arrest.

Financial Aid
Financial Aid administers a comprehensive financial aid program that includes scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. Students requiring assistance in understanding the financial aid process and in meeting their college expenses are encouraged to meet with a financial aid counselor.
To insure full consideration for all forms of financial aid, students must:
Students must be admitted to the University as degree-seeking students to be considered for financial aid. Students should not wait to be admitted to file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
All applicants, new and continuing, should file a FAFSA annually, designating Purdue Calumet (001827) as a recipient of the data. The FAFSA should be filed by March 10 in order to receive priority consideration for Federal, State, and institutional aid. The deadline for state aid eligibility is March 10.
How to Apply:
Students interested in applying for financial aid must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for grants, loans, work-study, or need-based scholarships. The FAFSA can be completed in one of three ways:
- FAFSA on the WEB: first time filers should enter their information at www.fafsa.gov. Previous filers will be prompted to update their prior year FAFSA information. To electronically sign your FAFSA (new or previous filer) students and parents (if applicable) must have a PIN which can be obtained at www.pin.ed.gov.
- FAFSA Paper Form: students can request a paper FAFSA by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). A paper FAFSA can also be obtained by accessingwww.federalstudentaid.ed.gov and by clicking on "FAFSA Filing Options" under Announcements.
- FAFSA on the Phone (1-800-433-3243) is a non-Web, paperless alternative. The FAFSA on the Phone is completed with the assistance of a Federal Student Aid Information Center customer service representative
Note: Students must reapply for financial aid each year! Students who are hearing impaired should contact the TTY line at 1-800-730-0913.
How Financial Need is Determined?
Submission of the FAFSA is the first step in the financial aid process. The FAFSA contains detailed information about yearly income and assets, taxes paid, family size, and number of family members enrolled in college. The purpose of the FAFSA is to determine the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is an amount the federal government determines the student and family are expected to contribute toward the student's education for the academic year. If a family's financial situation has changed (loss of income, high medical expenses) since last year, or since the FAFSA was filed, the Office of Financial Aid and Student Accounts should be contacted to determine whether a special circumstances appeal may be submitted.
Since students are the primary beneficiaries of their college education, they are expected to provide whatever resources are available to them toward the cost of their education. These resources may consist of employment earnings, savings, and other assets.
Financial aid is awarded to meet financial need (the difference between the cost of attending Purdue University Calumet and the amount the family is expected to contribute toward the student's education).
Note: Students must reapply for financial aid each year! Students who are hearing impaired should contact the TTY line at 1-800-730-8913.
Types of Financial Aid:
Financial assistance falls into two categories: Gift aid (aid that does not have to be repaid) and Self-help aid (aid that has to be repaid or earned through employment). Once the level of a student's financial need is established, a "package" of financial aid is determined to help meet the student's financial need. This "package" may include aid from several different sources as shown below.
A form of gift aid requiring a student to show financial need in order to be eligible. Grant programs from the Federal government include the Federal Pell Grant, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). Grant programs from the State of Indiana include the Frank O'Bannon Grant, Twenty-first Century Scholars Program, and the Twenty-first Century Scholars GEAR UP Scholarship.
Work Study:
A student may earn money to help defray educational costs through employment in the Federal Work-Study Program. A student earns money by working part-time on or off campus while enrolled. Federal work-study is considered self-help aid.
Loans are also considered self-help aid and require repayment, with interest, usually beginning six months after the student graduates, withdraws, or is enrolled less than half time. See below for more specific loan program information.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program:
(Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Program) The Subsidized Stafford Loan is a need-based loan where the government pays the interest on the loan while the student is in school attending at least half-time. The Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is not a need-based loan and the government does not pay the interest on the loan while the student is in school.
If you are a dependent undergraduate student, excluding students whose parents cannot borrow PLUS (parent) Loans, each year you may borrow up to:
- $5,500 if you are a first-year student enrolled in a program of study that is at least a full academic year. No more than $3,500 of this amount can be a subsidized loan.
- $6,500 if you have completed your first year of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year. No more than $4,500 of this amount can be a subsidized loan.
- $7,500 if you have completed two years of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year. No more than $5,500 of this amount can be a subsidized loan.
If you are an independent undergraduate student, or a dependent student whose parents have applied for but were unable to obtain a PLUS (parent) Loan, each year you may borrow up to:
- $9,500 if you are a first year student enrolled in a program of study that is at least a full academic year. No more than $3,500 of this amount may be a subsidized loan.
- $10,500 if you have completed your first year of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year. No more than $4,500 of this amount may be a subsidized loan.
- $12,500 if you have completed two years of study and the remainder of your program is at least a full academic year. No more than $5,500 of this amount may be a subsidized loan.
If you are a graduate or professional degree student, each year you may borrow up to:
- $20,500.
Aggregate Loan Limits:
- Undergraduate Dependent Students: $31,000 (no more than $23,000 of which can be subsidized)
- Undergraduate Independent Students: $57,500 (no more than $23,000 of which can be subsidized)
- Graduate and Professional Students: currently $138,500 (no more than $65,500 of which can be subsidized.)
These amounts are the maximum annual amounts you may borrow in both subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Loans, individually or in combination. Because you cannot borrow more than your cost of attendance, less the amount of any Federal Pell Grant for which you are eligible, less any other financial assistance you will receive, you may receive less than the annual maximum amounts.
The interest rate for loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2013 are as follows:
- Undergraduate Subsidized Stafford 3.4%
- Undergraduate Unsubsidized Stafford 6.8%
PLUS Loans for Graduate and Professional Students:
Graduate and professional degree seeking students may now borrow from the PLUS program. A good credit history is required. The repayment period begins on the date of the last disbursement of the loan, and has a fixed interest rate of 7.9%. Eligible students may borrow up to the cost of attendance, less other financial aid received. Filing a FAFSA is required.
Loan Consolidation:
Students may consolidate their federal education loans. Additional loan consolidation information may be obtained by visiting United States Loan Consolidation or by calling 1-800-557-7392 or TDD 1-800-557-7395.
All students, (new and continuing) who meet the eligibility criteria as designated by the scholarship donors, are automatically considered for both merit and need-based Purdue Calumet scholarships. Please note that a separate scholarship application is required for a few institutional scholarships: Access the following website for the applications. To be considered for Purdue Calumet need-based scholarships students must file a FAFSA by the priority deadline of March 10 each year. Need-based scholarships require a student to show financial need as well as exhibit academic achievement.
Detailed scholarship information is available by accessing Purdue Calumet Scholarships

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - An embarrassing mistake by the Governor has Florida residents making a naughty phone call.
While updating Florida residents on the state's Fungal Meningitis outbreak, the Governor thought he was giving out the phone number to the state's hotline. It was a sex line instead.
The mistake was discovered by a citizen after they read a story on Tampa Public Radio station WUSF's website.
The recording on the other end answers "hello boys, thanks for calling on my anniversary."
The Governor's office says the correct number has been available for several days and that he inadvertently gave the incorrect number. He corrected himself during the same meeting with the Florida Cabinet.

Buccaneers' safety Dashon Goldson may be in for a major punishment following his massive helmet-to-helmet hit on Saints' running back Darren Sproles on Sunday during their matchup in Tampa Bay.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL is considering a suspension for Goldson due his lengthy history with helmet-to-helmet hits. Schefter reports that, since 2010, Goldson has had 15 personal foul penalties -- more than any other player in the league.
Goldson was fined $30,000 for an unnecessary roughness penalty against the Jets in Week 1.
Goldson played six seasons for the 49ers prior to joining the Bucs this offseason and is a two-time Pro Bowler. The former fourth-round pick out of Washington has yet to be suspended for his personal fouls, but has been fined thousands of dollars over the years.
If Goldson is suspended by the league, he will likely appeal. If he is granted an appeal, he will not miss Week 3 and will travel with his team to take on the New England Patriots as they try to improve their 0-2 record.

Chart-topping singer-songwriter Emeli Sande has been confirmed as performing at Manchester United's United for UNICEF gala dinner on Monday 12 December.
Hailed as one of the biggest events on the social calendar, the United for UNICEF fund-raising dinner is in its 12th year and organisers are delighted Emeli will perform on the evening.
The glamorous event is held at Old Trafford and attended by Sir Alex Ferguson and United's first-team players. Last year, the annual event raised more than £100,000 for the charity, whose partnership with the club is the longest between a charity and a Premier League football team.
Having penned songs for the likes of Tinchy Stryder, Chipmunk, Susan Boyle and Cheryl Cole, Emeli Sande is one of the UK's most talented artists. Her new single, 'Daddy' was released on 27 November.
Money raised during the event will aid UNICEF in helping disadvantaged and vulnerable children from across the world. For more information on the event or to book a table call 0161 868 8000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com .

Dear Safa, have you gone mad?
Meet the most dispensable person in SA, Bafana Bafana's coach. But perhaps it's Safa that should be substituted.
Meet the most dispensable person in SA, Bafana Bafana's coach. But perhaps it's Safa that should be substituted.
Safa has announced Gordon Igesund's contract as Bafana Bafana coach will not be renewed and the hunt for a new coach starts immediately.
As half of Bafana's original squad have withdrawn ahead of friendlies overseas, coach Gordon Igesund has been forced into a last-minute scramble.
As the national squad gets ready to play Australia and New Zealand, coach Gordon Igesund says 11 out of the original 18-man squad have withdrawn.
Coach Gordon Igesund says Bafana Bafana will build on last year's performance against Spain, which resulted in a historic win, when they play Brazil.
Coach Gordon Igesund has named his "strongest squad bar none" to face Brazil in a friendly international football match at FNB Stadium in early March.
Safa says Gordon Igesund will remain Bafana Bafana's coach but will face a technical committee to explain the team's early exit from Chan.
The hysterical reaction to Bafana Bafana's early exit from the African Nations Championship reflects longstanding frustration with the team.
Bafana coach Gordon Igesund has expressed his disappointment after Nigeria beat the national team 3-1 in the African Nations Championship match.
Bafana Bafana have been dealt a blow with the news that goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune will be kept out of Nigeria's deciding Chan match against them.
Bernard Parker, who scored two goals against Mozambique, says coach Gordon Igesund's motivational talk during half-time helped save the game.
Bernard Parker and Hlompho Kekana have bagged the first African Nations Championship victory for Bafana Bafana, securing a 3-1 win against Mozambique.
Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund says he knows the players are ready ahead of their Group A opener against Mozambique on Saturday.
Ajax Cape Town defender Thato Mokeke will join Bafana Bafana and replace the injured Tsepo Masilela ahead of the African Nations Championship.
The national soccer team have arrived in Cape Town to start their preparations for the upcoming CAF African Nations Championship.
Spain's use of seven substitutes in the recent champions match against Bafana may nullify the match, leaving SA without their new Fifa ranking points.
While failing to win any of the three previous encounters against Spain, one of the pinnacle teams of world soccer, Bafana have risen to the occasion.
Former South African international and Auckland City footballer Keryn Jordan has passed away after a long fight with cancer.
Safa says its vice-president Mwelo Nonkonyana has been suspended because of remarks he made about Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund.

Ole Miss outscored the Hatters 26-3 in the series. After the first three games of the season, Auston Bousfield leads the team in hitting at .583, Will Allen is hitting at a .545 clip, and Austin Anderson is in with a .462 average. All are from central Florida.
The Ole Miss offense was effective all weekend, hitting the ball, taking advantage of opportunities, and being productive with the long ball. The Rebels had six home runs in those three games. Last season in 62 games, they had 23.
Allen and Preston Overbey had two home runs apiece. Sikes Orvis, another central Floridian, and Will Jamison had one each. Overbey batted .455 over the weekend.
Allen had an impressive 10 RBI and appeared to be comfortable back behind the plate as the Rebels' starting catcher.
Freshman Errol Robinson was impressive in the field and at the plate. The shortstop started all three games there and batted .400 for the weekend.
Friday night pitcher Chris Ellis proved effective in his start. The Rebels won the game 7-0, and the junior right-hander went six innings with no runs on four hits with two walks. It was the longest outing of his career.
Freshman left-hander Wyatt Short relieved Ellis and was impressive in his initial collegiate outing, going two innings, striking out four and not allowing a base runner. Junior right-hander Hawtin Buchanan went the last inning with two hits and two strikeouts.
Left-handed sophomore juco transfer Christian Trent had a solid outing as the Saturday starter. He went six innings, like Ellis did, allowing one earned run on three hits with six strikeouts. Sophomore righty Jacob Waguespack relieved Trent and went an inning with a hit and a strikeout, while junior righty Josh Laxer finished up the last two frames with a hit and two strikeouts.
On Sunday, junior righthander Sam Smith was battling a little tenderness in his shoulder, according to Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. Smith managed five innings with two hits, three walks, two strikeouts, and a hit batter but no runs allowed.
Three additional pitchers went Sunday – sophomore lefty Matt Denny and freshman righty Cheyne Bickle, who was making his debut. Both had a strikeout and faced just three Hatters.
It was senior right-hander Aaron Greenwood who was a bit shaky in the finale, allowing two earned runs on one hit with two walks and a strikeout in two innings. He's being counted on to close the door, or at least hold opponents at bay over some late innings.
Meanwhile the Rebel offense got to Hatter pitching with relative ease. Ole Miss wound up with 44 hits in three games, while seven Rebels walked and four were hit by a pitch. The Rebs struck out 29 times.
Here is some of what the participants and Bianco had to say in postgame radio:
* Bianco on the weekend: "We didn't play as clean (Sunday) as we did the first two days, but we still swung the bats well. We were aggressive on the base paths. I thought the offense played well all three games."
* Preston Overbey, who had two first-pitch home runs off new pitchers who had entered Sunday's game: "That's what we talk about, getting good swings off early in the count. When a pitcher makes a mistake, we've got to capitalize on it."
* Will Allen on the weekend: "It definitely was a great start to the season in all aspects. We swung it well all weekend. On the mound I thought we were terrific. And all the new guys that played this weekend, obviously they're going to play a huge part in our success this year."
* Allen on the offensive approach for the team: "Coach (Cliff) Godwin talks about approach all the time. We're just trying to get a ball that we can drive and hit it with authority. I think we did a great job of that this weekend. Hopefully we can keep that going."
* Bianco on Allen's weekend: "Couldn't happen to a better kid. Team captain and a guy that was our starting catcher two years ago and was trumped by the best catcher in the country last year, Stuart Turner. The great thing about Will is he handled that as well as anybody. He took the year to learn. He did a terrific job behind the plate this weekend and at the plate. Ten RBI, two home runs, what a way to start the year."
* Bianco on junior juco transfer, left-fielder Braxton Lee, the Rebels' leadoff guy: "He quietly puts pressure on the other team. He's a good offensive player, and he's faster than Tanner Mathis and a bigger steal threat than Mathis was. He adds another dimension to us at the top of the lineup. With he and Auston Bousfield at the top of the lineup, they were able to get us started a lot of innings."
* Saturday starter Christian Trent: "It was definitely fun getting out there the first time. It was great to finally face someone other than your teammates. And knowing you have a defense behind you like we do makes it a good feeling out there."
* Austin Anderson on playing third base: "It's a little different (than shortstop). The ball gets on you faster. The angle of the ball coming off the bat is different. I was there most of the fall, and I feel comfortable over there."
* Chris Ellis after his first start: "It was really nice to have run support this first game out. I never know in the bullpen (how he's going to pitch). But I had confidence in everything. The changeup was something that worked for me a lot throughout the game."
* Bianco on Chris Ellis: "He was dominant and had great command of his fast ball and changeup. A lot's been said about the Friday night guy, and that we didn't have one returning. Looked like we found one tonight."
* Bianco on Christian Trent: "A three-pitch guy that had all three pitches working today. He worked both sides of the plate and kept them off balance. He worked really fast. When you step on the field the first time, it's difficult. So many stepped on the field for the first time and did well, and Christian was one of them."
* Auston Bousfield on playing back home: "I had a lot of family and friends up in the stands. There were a lot of former (Ole Miss) players here, too. A lot of people came out here to support us."
* Bousfield on the offense's apparent more aggressive style: "Our team can really run this year. Coach (Bianco) told us he wants us to be aggressive. We haven't been as aggressive in the past. Hopefully that's something we can keep up all year."
Ole Miss hosts Tennessee-Martin at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

MEDIA, Pa. - A psychiatrist's patient ranted about a gun ban at a suburban medical complex before opening fire there, killing his caseworker and grazing his psychiatrist before the doctor pulled out his own weapon and fired back, authorities said Friday.
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's health care law is enmeshed in another big legal battle after two federal appeals courts issued contradictory rulings on a key financing issue within hours of each other Tuesday.
FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. - Ann Hunnewell and her central Florida police officer husband knelt in the living room of a fellow officer's home, with pillow cases as makeshift hoods over their heads. A few words were spoken and they, along with a half-dozen others, were initiated into the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, she says.
WASHINGTON - When you die, should your loved ones have access to your Facebook, Yahoo and other online accounts?
CHICAGO - Unexplained rash? Check your iPad. It turns out the popular tablet computer may contain nickel, one of the most common allergy-inducing metals.
WASHINGTON - A key Republican said Friday that President Barack Obama's multibillion-dollar emergency request for the border is too big to get through the House, as a growing number of Democrats rejected policy changes Republicans are demanding as their price for approving any money.
LOWELL, Mass. - Seven people died in a fast-moving Massachusetts apartment fire in the predawn hours Thursday, officials said.
NEW ORLEANS - Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for bribery, money laundering and other corruption that spanned his two terms as mayor - including the chaotic years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
WASHINGTON - Cleveland won the unanimous backing of a Republican National Committee panel on Tuesday, all but guaranteeing the GOP's 2016 presidential pick will accept the party's nomination in perennially hard-fought Ohio.
ATLANTA - A government scientist cleaning out an old storage room at a research center near Washington made a startling discovery last week - decades-old vials of smallpox packed away and forgotten in a cardboard box.
KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. - Proving far less damaging than feared, Hurricane Arthur left tens of thousands of people without power Friday in a swipe at North Carolina's dangerously exposed Outer Banks, then brought lousy Fourth of July beach weather to the Northeast as it veered out to sea.
KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. - A strengthening Hurricane Arthur forced thousands of vacationers on the North Carolina coast to abandon their Independence Day plans while cities farther up the East Coast rescheduled fireworks displays threatened by rain from the storm.
WASHINGTON - Many of the 8 million Americans signed up under the new health care law now have to clear up questions about their personal information that could affect their coverage.
WASHINGTON - Supreme Court justices found more common ground than usual this year, and nowhere was their unanimity more surprising than in a ruling that police must get a judge's approval before searching the cellphones of people they've arrested.
WASHINGTON - Republicans called it a win for religious freedom. The decision of the Supreme Court, they said, is further evidence the country's new health care law is deeply flawed.
FERGUSON, Mo. - A grand jury declined Monday to indict white police officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed, black 18-year-old whose fatal shooting sparked weeks of sometimes-violent protests and inflamed deep racial tensions between many African-Americans and police.

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Monday he is stepping down, leaving under pressure following a rocky tenure in which he has struggled to break through the White House's insular team of national security advisers.
WASHINGTON - In a broad test of his executive powers, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday he will sidestep Congress and order his own federal action on immigration - in measures that could spare from deportation as many as 5 million people illegally in the U.S. and set up one of the most pitched partisan confrontations of his presidency.
A turning point in the Civil War came 150 years ago this week, when Union Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman left the smoking ruins of Atlanta and launched his scorching March to the Sea. Here are five questions and answers about the commander whose name, even today, evokes admiration or hatred - and about his march, which hastened the war's end.
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The pitch for health care coverage is being made at nail salons, pizzerias, mosques - and even bars.
MILFORD, Pa. - For 48 days, Eric Frein was everywhere and nowhere, supposedly sighted again and again, only to melt back into the woods in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.
FORT KENT, Maine - A Maine judge gave nurse Kaci Hickox the OK to go wherever she pleases, handing state officials a defeat Friday in the nation's biggest court case yet over how to balance personal liberty, public safety and fear of Ebola.
MOJAVE, Calif. - A winged spaceship designed to take tourists on excursions beyond Earth's atmosphere exploded during a test flight Friday over the Mojave Desert, killing a pilot in the second fiery setback for commercial space travel in less than a week.
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is crossing his fingers that Republicans won't come close to capturing the six Senate seats they need to seize the majority in next week's election. But for Vice President Joe Biden, there's a silver lining if Republicans fall just short.
NEWARK, N.J. - The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended new restrictions for people at highest risk for coming down with the Ebola virus and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk, but some state governors and even the Army are carving their own paths.

July2, 2013
COMMERCE, Georgia (AP)— Almost two dozen former employees of a Georgia center for people with Alzheimer's disease are facing more than 70 charges in an investigation of cruelty to patients.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents say the charges stem from a three-month investigation of Alzheimer's Care of Commerce, about 65 miles northeast of Atlanta.
Agents used a warrant Tuesday to search for evidence. The investigation uncovered accounts of physical abuse, such as staff members striking patients and throwing water on them.
Authorities say warrants for the arrests of 21 former and present employees were issued. Charges include cruelty to people 65 or older and accusations of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
A telephone message left at the center Tuesday morning was not immediately returned.

As NBC4 reported, Grant Reed was diagnosed with a brain tumor two years ago, and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer even stopped by and spent time with him last year. Doctors said the prognosis for Grant, who turns 13 next month, looks good. "We've beaten Michigan for the short term, but like any rival, there's a chance it can come back," his father said. Grant's speech and mobility have been impacted by the treatment, and he said, "I want to recover. I want to talk faster, I guess. Walk faster. Photo: NBC4

Creepy app uses Twitter and Flickr data to track anyone on a map
A good example of what's possible is Creepy, a desktop app which lets you track a Flickr or Twitter user's position on a map. Just pop in a Twitter or Flickr ID, and if the person has posted any geocoded data Creepy will pin the corresponding locations on a map. Satellite, street, and hybrid maps from Google and Virtual Earth are available, as are OpenAerialMap and OpenStreetMap.
Above, you can see where @scobleizer has been puttering around. Pop in anyone you want and then wait patiently -- Creepy analyzes quite a bit of data, so it can take a while for your results to appear. The mapping magic works as long as the user you search for has enabled geolocation features -- and that likely includes the vast majority of Twitter and Flickr users using a mobile app.
Creepy is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and the application's source code is also downloadable.

But that's OK since optimizing the message (e.g., with persona-based messaging) is usually far more effective than trying to control who actually ends up seeing your viral video.

We all take the Google homepage for granted.
It's so remarkably simple that (unless you're, say, a blogger for a website optimization firm) it's unremarkable; just a text box, two call to action buttons, and a few links that most humans don't even look at, let alone use. That's all.

Butternut Squash Soup
I know many are "over" the butternut squash soup phase, but i've never made it and would like a tried and true recipe to use for a starter on Thanksgiving Day. Usually I test out what I am going to make but don't have time so I really need your help! T-I-A Marie
ps: I am thankful for CHOWHOUND!
There are tons of good recipes for butternut squash soup, this is the one I make several times during the fall. It's really delicious and easy. Do add the cream at the end; you can add as much (or as little) as you want; it adds a great bit of flavor. One more thing, I always add more squash than the recipe calls for as I prefer a thicker soup. I used 2 pounds last week with great results.
Butternut-Cider Bisque Recipe courtesy Red Lion Inn Cookbook
Show: Cooking Live
Episode: Fall Fun: Country Inns
This recipe is available for a limited time only. Why?
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, diced
1/2 large carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
4 sprigs fresh thyme, rinsed
5 cups chicken stock or canned chicken broth
2 cups apple cider
2 cups heavy cream, apple cider, or chicken stock (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Heat the oil in a large pot and saute the onion, carrot, and celery until the carrot and celery are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and thyme and saute until all of the vegetables are coated with oil, about 2 minutes. Add the stock and the 2 cups of cider and simmer until the squash is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Puree the mixture, in small batches, in a blender on medium speed until smooth and well blended. Place the pureed mixture into another pot and stir in either the cream, cider or stock to achieve the desired consistency. Add the salt and black pepper. Heat gently and serve.
re: mschow
I just made the Butternut Squash Chowder from Williams Sonoma, using their squash puree and it was very easy and VERY good. I recommend it, especially if you are short on time.
This is amazing, and the reviews speak for themself. I had my "taste testers" vote on my trial run last week, and none of us are "over" this phase either!
Here is my recipe. Modified from a Wolfgang Puck recipe, with a few changes of my own. My goal in making up the recipe was to duplicate the Butternut Squash Soup we had at a local restaurant.
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
1 fairly large Butternut Squash, peeled and cut into rough cubes (about 1 1/2 inch)
(about 4 cups of squash cubed)
1/2 cup Orange Juice
1/3 cup Brown sugar (dark or light)
Dash of ground Cinnamon or one Cinnamon Stick
Drizzle of real maple syrup (optional)
Heat oven to 425, combine the ingredients listed above and place in a baking dish/roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour or until tender. (can be made the day ahead)
(I find it easier to peel the squash when it is whole, than cut in half, remove seeds and cut it up. Peeling the squash is the worst part of the recipe)
2 to 4 tablespoons Butter (depending on how fat concerned you are)
1 Leek (white and light green part) chopped (about one cup)
1/2 Onion chopped (1/2 cup)
1 Granny Smith Apple, cored, peeled and chopped.
2 fresh sage leaves or a pinch of dry
4 Cups Vegetable Stock/Broth - could also use Chicken stock.
Roasted Squash from above
1/3 cup Heavy Cream (they say it is optional, but I wouldn't leave it out.)
fresh pepper
Cayenne red pepper (optional)
Melt butter in the bottom of a large heavy- bottom pan, medium heat. Add leek, onion and apple and cook for a few minutes, add the sage and cook for a few more minutes. Stir frequently. You want the veggies to be soft but not brown. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add the roasted squash and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cream and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool slightly and puree with a hand blender until very smooth. Or puree in batches in a regular blender until smooth.
Reheat if necessary…and eat.
The taste is a different from most soup since it is kind of sweet - I use it as an appetizer rather than a meal.
I love butternut squash soup and Ina Garten's is really great: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recip... Don't be afraid to add the curry powder because in the end it doesn't leave this curry taste but just a faint something-ness that makes it worthwhile. This is a sweeter application of the soup however so don't expect something too savory but rather a combination of both.
This is also excellent and thoroughly reviewed: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
it is the go to in our house
re: nomdeplume
I made some the other day, and for the record, I will never be "over" good food.
1) Get a dutch over and saute carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme and season
2) Slice the butternut squash in half and add all of the entrails (seeds, pulp, etc. an ice cream scooper works perfectly)
3) Add the squash to the sweating veg and cook until seeds start turning golden
4) Add 3 cups of chicken stock (preferably homemade) stir and let simmer for about half an hour
5) Put the squash halves skin side down (meat up) on top of the mixture, cover and put into a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes (steams the squash and imparts squash flavor)
6) Remove the squash and let cool
7) Strain the liquid through a fine chinoise or fine strainer (Make sure to press to get all of that squash flavor in the pulp and seeds) into a blender
8) Dice the squash and add to the blender (this will be messy) and reserve some shredded pieces for texture
9) Blend, add heavy cream and season to taste
Here are a lot of ideas for "killer" butternut squash soup from a chowhound thread last month:
Good luck! Let us know which one you end up choosing, and how you and your guests like it.
I'd gotten bored with butternut squash soup too, or so I thought. Then the bf requested it, specifically with creme fraiche. I didn't want any ginger, apple, curry or any of that and I found this great recipe from the blog "Kitchenography." Technically it's squash and fennel. It's a Suzanne Goin recipe that was originally for Kabocha squash, but the blogger did it with butternut to great results. I skipped the candied seeds, sherry, used boxed broth, winged the amounts a bit, and it was a huge success with all 10 ppl who ended up having some. "Best butternut squash soup ever!" etc :) I like it without the creme fraiche. Dead easy with a hand blender, and I didn't need all the broth, so was able to reserve some to make a wonderful gravy out of.
Suzanne Goin's Squash and Fennel Soup With Creme Fraiche and Candied Pumpkin Seeds
2 pounds kabocha squash (or substitute another winter squash -- I used butternut)
2 medium bulbs of fennel
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups sliced onions
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
2 chiles de arbol
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup sherry
10 cups chicken or vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup creme fraiche
candied pumpkin seeds
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and peel from squash and cut into inch thick wedges. Cut the fennel in half lengthwise and cut into 1 inch wedges. Toss the squash and fennel with olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground pepper. Place the vegetables flat on a baking sheet and roast about 35 minutes, until tender and slightly carmelized.
3. Toast the fennel seeds in a small pan over medium heat until the seeds become fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 or 3 minutes. Pound them coarsely in a mortar.
4. Heat soup pot over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the butter and when it foams, add the onions, fennel seeds, thyme, chiles, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, and a good amount of freshly ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium high and cook until the onions are translucent and starting to color.
5. Add the squash and fennel, and stir to coat with the onions for a minute. Turn the heat back up to high and pour in the sherry. Let it reduce for a minute or two, and then add the stock and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
6. Puree the soup in batches. Strain the solids from the broth, reserving both. Put a third of the solids into the blender with 1/2 cup of the broth. Process at low speed until the squash mixture is pureed. Add another 1/2 cup broth and puree at high speed. Add additional broth, a little at a time, until the soup has the consistency of heavy cream. Blend at least a minute on high speed until the soup is completely smooth and very creamy. Transfer to a container, and repeat with remaining ingredients. You may not need all the liquid. Taste for balance and seasoning. 7. Pour soup into bowls, spoon creme fraiche into center, and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
There is no such thing as getting "over" incredible yumminess.
Try it with a roasted red pepper puree (Epicurious recipe), or a roasted chestnut puree. Scooping up the last part with fried cheese chips is also great!
I make the typical pureed curried butternut and apple soup every fall, including a little cream. (I could bathe in the stuff, so I don't know why I don't make it year-round). This week I wanted a quick dinner and had Costco's Ling-Ling chicken/veg potstickers in the freezer. They are goooood but the sauce packets are dreadful. On a whim, I poured a little squash soup over them, which proved to be a wonderful combination. A new favorite is born!
I am making turkey croquettes next week and plan to use the soup as gravy.

Sixty-eight-year-old Vietnam veteran Karl Epperson thought his fighting days were done, but for the past three months he has been in the heat of battle, a battle with bedbugs.
"You can't sleep because they come up in the bed with you," said Epperson.
A short-sleeved shirt revealed raspberry-sized bug bites that spotted his arms.
Epperson has lived in the privately owned Overlook Apartments in the Westside for nearly a decade, but contemplates moving because of the creepy crawlers.
Overlook management officials could not be reached for comment.
At least a dozen bedbug infestations in Chattanooga hotels and public places have been reported to the Hamilton County Health Department within the past two years, said Bonnie Deakins, director of environmental health.
The Health Department gives hotels with infestations 10 days to get rid of them and the hotel has to close the infested room until they do.
Bedbugs don't carry disease, Deakins said, but they are hard to exterminate. The problem is getting to them. They're in the cracks of the walls, inside the mattress and in the bed, said Deakins.
"It's been a big problem within the past eight years or so," she said. "For years we didn't see them but apparently they've become resistant to the pesticides."
Epperson said that Overlook Apartment officials called an exterminating company for his unit but that they didn't eliminate the pests. There are scuff marks on his wall from where he has tried to kill some with bug spray and a fly swatter.
Epperson estimates that at least 10 apartments in the 162-unit complex have been infested with bedbugs. One resident who lives near him had to throw out all of her furniture, he said.
Karl Epperson uses a flashlight to point out bed bugs around his bed Tuesday at his apartment in the Overlook Apartments complex on Boynton Drive in Chattanooga. Epperson says his apartment has become infested with bedbugs after another unit on his floor had a problem.Photo by Doug Strickland.
It's an expensive problem, said Epperson.
He has a limited income but spent more than $200 because of bedbugs. He spent $100 just on laundry and dry cleaning alone, he said.
Epperson said his bedbugs are not a result of being unclean. A housekeeper cleans his apartment for him. The problem is when one unit gets bedbugs, management only treats that unit. That allows the bedbugs to move to the next apartment, he said. Epperson wants several apartments to be treated at the same time.
But treating bedbugs is costly, said Adam Vannest, director of training and technical services at Jody Millard Pest Control.
Vannest advises public awareness to prevent bedbugs from spreading. When possible, encase mattresses, box springs and pillows. And check box spring seams for bedbugs or brownish-red spotting before moving into a new apartment, he suggested.
Epperson said he has complained to his management and to the City Council about bedbugs in his apartment but has had no resolution.
"The stress of it," he said. "Right now I'm having chest pains. You're afraid to lay down and sleep."

7 February 2014
• Over 2.2 million passengers passed through London Gatwick in January – up 6.6% on the prior year• Load factors - showing how full the average flight was - were at 75.2%
January 2014 traffic performance summary
Note: Origins and destinations are classified according to ultimate origin or destination of aircraft in the case of multi-sector flights.
Traffic Commentary
London Gatwick saw 2.2 million passengers use the airport in January 2014 - an increase of 6.6%, or 138,300 passengers, over the prior year.
Travel to Europe saw the largest growth with over 1.4 million passengers flying to popular European destinations - an increase of 8.0% on the prior year. The majority of this growth was on flights to key business routes with destinations as diverse as Stockholm, Istanbul, Moscow and Copenhagen. This was tempered by fewer passengers on charter flights to European leisure destinations, reflecting the longer-term market move towards scheduled, low cost airlines.
Other long haul growth was up 11.3%, mainly as a result of increases on leisure routes such as Thailand and Sri Lanka. This was complemented by growth on long haul business routes such as Dubai.
The reported loss of traffic to North America, down 13.4%, was mainly due to US Airways ceasing services from London Gatwick earlier in 2013. This summer's launch of three new Norwegian routes to the US (New York, Los Angeles and Florida) will help reverse the trend of lower traffic to this region.
For domestic traffic, increases on the Belfast, Glasgow and Isle of Man routes were offset by the withdrawal of the Manchester route.
Load factors - showing how full the average flight was - were at 75.2%, in line with the prior year. Nick Dunn, Chief Financial Officer at London Gatwick, said: "We saw steady growth to Europe in January, which is by far the dominant market for business and leisure passengers travelling from London and the South East.
"Alongside European growth however, we continue to see strong performance in long haul travel, particularly on established routes to the Middle East, Far East and the Indian Sub-Continent.
"Next month we will be welcoming Emirates' daily A380 services to Dubai and Air China's flights to Beijing to further strengthen these routes and provide even greater choice and convenience for passengers."

About London Gatwick
Gatwick Airport is the UK's second largest airport and the most efficient single-runway airport in the world. It serves more than 200 destinations in 90 countries for around 38 million passengers a year on short and long-haul point-to-point services. It is also a major economic driver for the South-East region, generating around 21,000 on-airport jobs and a further 10,000 jobs through related activities. The airport is 28 miles south of London with excellent public transport links, including the Gatwick Express. Gatwick Airport is owned by a group of international investment funds, of which Global Infrastructure Partners is the largest shareholder.
In its December 2013 interim report, the Airports Commission included London Gatwick and Heathrow on its shortlist of potential locations for a new runway in the UK. Expansion at Gatwick will best meet the UK's aviation needs for the future, can provide the greatest economic boost with the least environmental impact, and a new runway can be operational by 2025.

text: Everyday Normal Republicans (With Special Guest: Zo!) by Steven Crowder 11 Jun 2009 post a comment Share This: Andrew Breitbart hit the nail on the head when he said that, "Conservatives have allowed Liberals to portray us in the media for far too long," (Or something to that effect. I can't remember because I was on a pop-tart bender). Sadly, it's very true. For a long time now, the people over at CNN and MSNBC have molded "Conservatives" into a way that suits their personal agenda. The problem is that this "molding" occurs in plain sight and is forced on an unsuspecting public. Damn your dashing good looks, Anderson Cooper! [youtube 6_WXv06Xsjs nolink] -- Note: People have been demanding that Zo and I team up for a while now. We listened, and he was nice enough to grace the screen in the latest video. As it turns out, he's a great guy. He smells a bit funny, but is a really swell chap!
