Pressure Canning Salsa
All the information I'm finding on canning salsa recommends sticking with tested recipes and using the water bath method. I'm new to canning, but know that not having the right acid levels proves dangerous. I don't want to kill anybody.
My question is:
Can I use my own recipe and pressure can the salsa instead? If so, how long should I process it?
For the curious:
Last summer I canned one jar of my bhut jolokia peppers in vinegar. I'm itching to crack the jar open and make a big batch of salsa with store bought diced tomatoes, and then can the salsa to give away.
My recipe will be something like this:
1 #10 can of Diced Tomatoes (102 oz)
5 Cups diced onions
1 cup minced garlic
12 or so Bhut Jolokia Peppers
6 Jalapeno Peppers
A bunch of Cilantro
1/2 cup of lemon juice
Kosher salt
Miscellaneous other seasonings such as basil, thyme, etc
I roast the garlic and tomatoes in my cast iron dutch oven and cook down the onions and peppers for a nice full flavored (and very hot) salsa. I've made smaller batches of this and it turns out great, but I've never tried canning it for later. I'm guessing this ought to make about 14 pint jars. Would it be safe to pressure can this?
Where to start?
1 - As gifts? No. If you are going to use risky practices then at least don't give them as gifts. That isn't fair to the receivers. We can all choose the level of risk we accept for ourselves but we don't have the right to pass that risk on to others.
2 - Basic principle of safe home canning - you cannot use your own made up recipes. You have no way of knowing the proper pH or the proper safe density or the proper processing times.
3 - Salsa is one of the most risky things to play around with as it is eaten fresh from the jar with no further cooking to destroy any toxins it may contain from improper pH, density, or processing.
4 - Pressure canning something doesn't automatically make it safe. Density and pH issues play just as much of a role in pressure canning as they do in BWB processing.
5 - Even if you could use your own recipe and pressure can it you would just have to guess at a processing time. Any guess is worth the money you pay for it. ;) There are no tested processing time for salsa.
6 - Your recipe as listed is too low in acid for all of the low-acid vegetables. It is a fresh made-to-eat recipe, not a canning recipe. You can make it as you wish and freeze it with no safety issues. But it cannot be safely canned.
Further minor point - recanning commercially canned foods is not recommended.
Sorry. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.
Dave, No problem. that is a great answer and is exactly what I wanted to hear - the truth. Why would I want anything else? If its not safe then I do not want to do it.
If I make this big batch, I need to freeze it, pass it along for immediate consumption, or buy a truck load of chips and invite over a whole lot of friends all at one time for a big party. Thanks.
Since you understandably prefer your own recipe, allocating freezer space for it is the way to go.
There would be nothing wrong with pc-ing an approved recipe using the BWB time. Some find pc-ing more convenient and prefer to do that.
Would it make you sick or could it kill you?
Either or both.
Proper pH in home canned foods is one the most important safety factors. Canning creates an anaerobic environment inside the jar and the pH, in combination with the proper processing, prevents the growth of mold, yeasts, bacteria, and botulism spores. The resulting toxins can make you seriously ill and botulism toxin can kill.

Star pond yachts of Birkenhead UK
For those who were given a Star Pond yacht as a kid like me, or have seen these wonderful little craft here is a bit of history I uncovered last week and thought should be documented !
Star boats of Birkenhead, Liverpool a little known history, March 2014.
Since their beginning just after the first world war, Star Yachts made pond yachts.
Franz Marie Denye, a Belgian refugee who had fled Belgium at the beginning of the war began making yachts and his family continued the tradition until the factory was closed in the early 1990s.
In Australia the agency had been held by one company for many years and upon visiting the factory the owner had only made it into the front office and never past, so keen were Star to protect their processes.
In about 1989 on visit to the Star factory one person did make it past the office door and this is what he found and has imparted to me.
Star yachts visited had been closed for a time , however tools and workstations had been left in a state that appeared as though everyone had gone for the night and would return in the morning, sadly they never would.
Luckily the old chap who gave him access to the factory also gave him a run down of what lay in the 2 story building and the secrets that lay behind the green front door of Star of Birkenhead.
As recounted i was amazed to learn that Star brought in timber in the form of logs to the factory, these were then stripped of bark in the factory somewhere on the lower level floor.
Once the logs were de barked, they were sawn into manageable sized timbers ready to be put on to the lathes.
I had understood (more so guessed) that Star turned timber on a lathe to create a bullet like shape before slicing it in half to make 2 hulls and this was confirmed to me.
Once the hulls had been turned and before they were sawn , the timber was taken upstairs to the loft where large fishing nets hung from the ceiling.
Tossed up into the air the bullets landed into the net and were left to dry out the timber that was still a little green.
After the appropriate time the bullets were brought down and sliced into two hulls and fitted out.
That is the Star story, the only other really interesting fact was that if the topside stripe on a Star was applied to the hull , it was not by painting a strip onto the base hull color , however by using a scribe to scratch through the top coat to reveal the under coat, amazing!
Here are some pictures of my Star boats, add yours in!

Thanks Andrew,
Great memories. My first sail boat as a kid, was a Star pond yacht. I Think it was called Southern Cross. Mid-sized boat with gaff headed main and jib and flying jib, painted white with blue trim.
I sailed it on the boating lake at Sefton Park, and also at the model boat pond on the front at New Brighton. Put it in the water and set the sails and let it go all the way across where a friend would turn it around for the trip back.

neat thread
I have one of these hiding somewhere that I used to float in the 70's ... thought I could quickly locate it but the only thing I found was the main.
Mine was just like your rigged red boat but it was painted light green.
I remember chuckling about the "Guaranteed to Sail" promise on the decal when it was new... but clearly based on the condition of the sail, it got some use!
You have a nice collection!
|Mar 30, 2014, 10:43 PM
I bought one of these at an antique store, only to find it must be a very close imitation... there's no Star logo on it, but it otherwise looks just like one of these in the picture... and sails quite nicely, too.

The more I think about it, the more I remember sailing my "SY1"... It didn't have much freeboard to begin with and not much stability- its deck was often totally awash... fun stuff though at the time.

Hi Andrew -
Thanks so very much for sharing the history and photos of your collection. It was great being able to pick up the history soon to be lost. Wish I lived closer - sounds like there are "other stories" to share and hear. You live too far away to run down the street!
Best regards, Dick

I have long been interested in Star Yachts and, over the years, have collected a few. I'm currently researching the history of the company / its products and have some quite interesting early images which I must sort out and share...
Your collection looks great, I'm interested to find out more about the yacht "Jean III" (4th image) it's not a name that I've seen in any Star catalogues, etc. but I have seen several examples with this name. Is it a Star do you think?
I've attached a few images of the larger yachts - a "Western Star" - the largest yacht they made when the factory closed and a "Meteorite" - the smallest of the lead keel range at that time.
Thanks again and the yachts on your own website look fantastic!
|Apr 02, 2014, 04:12 PM
Hi Mark and all, thanks for the comments, I need some of the bigger star boats!!!
I have collected hulls here and there before people throw them away and try to create new rig sympathetically that fit and match, yet are clear new additions that enhance the original hulls, trying to keep the history alive a bit if I can!
Really not sure about Jean 2 as she has a cast keel and no deck markings.
I did the Liberty of London sails for my wife to have in her office, went down well and is a different look.
Other pics below are of Giner Spanish swing keel hull, have a couple single and an unknown Australian hull.
The yellow hull is a 50s Australian boat with cast alloy keel, finding out more about this one as I type!

More neat stuff! I'm still searching of my old star, lost in a sea of boxes... Interesting that you mention Giner... my old Giner, I did find! (note the family resemblance in the swing, sheet steel keel and plastic rudder.)
Funny, the decal on the deck also claims that it is "Guaranteed to Sail"!
...Made in Spain and it's "Patentado"

I guess that it's the fact that Star produced so many different variants over the years but there's an obvious continuity to the range, elements of the later yachts are certainly recognizable in those produced during the 1920's / 1930's.
I will try to find out if the "Jean III" was a product of the company but, although the lettering is very similar, I suspect that it wasn't. It does look good with the "Liberty" fabric sails, so often the sails are torn or destroyed and, rather than try to replicate the originals, I think it's good to add a more contemporary look...
Coincidentally - I was commissioned last year to re-rig 5 of my larger Stars (Meteorite, Comet, Pacific Star, Baltic Star & Western Star) with similar designer fabric sails for a Sunday Times Style magazine shoot.
I've attached a shot of this together with some more of the larger ones.
It'd be great to hear from others with info. / images of the Star Yacht models...
The other yachts look good, it's interesting to see how different companies approached the hull / keel design.
(Thanks for the email Andrew - have replied).

I saw that it uses the same software (trueffs - by m-systems) that also drives the extended rom.
I found the documentation of trueffs rather lacking, and incorrect.
hope that is not the reason for spirits recent troubles.
many of the ioctl's described in this document work different in reality than described, mostly parts that pass a pointer to a buffer in the ioctl's 'in' parameter, pass this pointer in reality in the 'out' parameter.
return values sometimes reflect the success of a call, and sometimes are unrelated.

Yes I know, it's now a part of life. But the colorful plastic things and all the stuff animals people bring in have turned my once beautiful, orgnized home into a daycare center. I'm sorry but if it's not foldable or can be easily put away, or stuffed in a basket or bin then I don't want it. Clearly it's not about me anymore but since when did child rearing require so much STUFF?!?!? Vent over.
Anyone else can't stand baby clutter? *vent*

I agree. Drove me nuts with my first who is now 2 and I finally accepted that we will look like daycare center until they get older :/

There are a lot of people that are probably envious of the stuff, so if I were you I would donate some of things you don't think you need. It wi clear some of your clutter and helps those who don't have much.

difference betw enameled and regular cast-iron cookware?
Newbie delurking (on this forum, anyway) to ask what I hope is not too basic of a question.
I am dying to try that Mark Bittman miracle bread recipe, and am interested in some of the enamelware (enameled cast iron) people here have raved about. But I'm cheap. And I'm also blessed with bad timing, as KMart doesn't seem to carry the Martha Stewart stuff anymore, and my local Tuesday Morning doesn't have any LC (in November, I passed up a 5-qt for $50 and am now kicking myself!). Nothing in Marshalls, though I should probably just keep going back there.
Anyway, I'm thinking of buying the regular cast-iron instead. Amazon has the Lodge preseasoned 5-qt dutch oven for $30 and free shipping. But we have a 12" cast-iron skillet that's losing its seasoning, and it's kind of a pain. I'm not sure I feel like dealing with a dutch oven if that should happen.
I'm wondering if there's some special difference between regular and enameled cast iron that might either cause me to go for the Lodge or bite the bullet and buy the enamelware. What do you think? TIA, everyone.
Plain cast iron is great, but needs a little extra care compared with enameled cast iron. The surface of plain cast iron has to be seasoned, and it can react with acidic sauces such as tomato sauce; so enameled cast iron would be better in some cases.
I use both, for different applications. Searing a steak, I use a heavy plain cast iron skillet. Browning something then cooking slowly in liquid (braising), I use enameled cast iron.
Maintaining seasoning on a piece of cast iron isn't that difficult. Just make sure to avoid detergent and to keep it oiled.
The link is to a great discussion on the qualities of different types of cookware. It'll cover the distinctions between cast iron, enameled cast iron and all sorts of other options.
Here is a link that might be useful: understanding stovetop cookware
andreagb, do you have access to TJMaxx or Costco? I've had good luck with off-brands from TJMaxx & I've noticed Rachel Ray stuff at Costco that seems reasonable, Amazon keeps producing new choices even after it seems you missed the last bargain. Timing has something to do with persistence and luck. Keep trying!
arley nailed it. Since a dutch oven is usually used for braising or stewing, the enameled variety obviates any worry about chemical reactions with acidic foods like tomatoes, it does not need to be seasoned, and I find that it is generally fairly easy to clean.
Thanks for the helpful responses. Just after I posted this, I found that Target pot listed on their website, and was initially over the moon. But of the five Targets within an hour of driving, nary a one has it. And shipping is $14, if I order it from the website... I think I'm going to keep calling and keep looking for it, and maybe ask my local Target store manager if she'd try to get a few in for me. (Some of my friends also want to try that recipe!)
athomein1914 (love your screen name -- I'm a historian and study that period!) -- no TJMaxx around, alas, though we do have Marshalls, which I think is the same chain. I'll keep looking there, too.
Thanks for the info about cast iron vs. enameled, too. I have heard people complain about the newer Lodge cast iron -- that the inner surface is really rough, so even if you supergrease it, it's difficult to get food to disLodge, so to speak. I am going to order an antique cast-iron skillet on Ebay for scrambled eggs... not so sure about the antique dutch ovens, though.
I'll sit tight and keep looking. Thanks, all!
I got mine at Target for $39 back last spring. According to the Cooks Illustrated chat boards, it is now available again but I was in Target on Sunday & it's not at the one in my town. Evidently, you have to go in on occasion to catch them when they have them. When I got mine, they only had a few.
I love it for items with acid (a lot of soups, etc.). I'd love to have the LC but don't even want to pay the Tuesday Morning price ($125 for 5 qt.).
Target had initially promised to have them around only till Jan 2007 -- i.e., right now! But the website now says they'll be on sale till Feb. 3.
I had found one at a Target 70 min from here and was honestly (momentarily, thank goodness) going to give in to my obsession and drive to go get it. I then thought, $14 for shipping vs. 3 hours of my time, gas, wear on the car... OK, time to order from the website! Thanks, everyone.
Cast iron is what many recipes refer to when they say NOT to use reactive cookware. It reacts to the acids in food. I used to make marinara sauce in my cast iron dutch oven just to get the extra iron intake. It tasted great, too! But some things are too delicate and you get a darker color in the food from the bare iron. The enameled iron provides a little iron as it ages and there is some micorscopic cracking. But it is mainly the even and slow heating that is provided that is great for some kinds of cooking. Slow sauces in the smaller pans, roasts in the larger.
By the way, I have been making that no-knead bread in different kinds of pans. I think the main thing is to put the dough into a HOT pan and then cover and seal it for the first part of the baking. I have used my target enameled dutch oven and also metal loaf pans that I covered with aluminum foil. Wish I had sprayed cooking spray on the foil, though! I didn't notice alot of difference in the breads. My family really likes the bread! Great crust!
Thebearsfamily, thanks for your post. Can I ask -- not to hijack my own thread here -- did you make a single batch and divide it between two loaf pans? I'd love to make a loaf rather than a boule, but am wondering how to handle "oven spring" -- that is, won't the bread rise higher than the level of the loaf pan, banging into or pushing up the cover and ruining the steam effect?
Andrea- my sister used the no knead bread recipe, divided the dough into 4 after first rise, and did second rise in french bread pans (the kind with small holes). She did not cover in the oven, just spritzed a few times with water.
Great results.

School security going too far
Once again, dirtboysmom here.
I just watched a tv news segment about a school system in NY state which does not allow students to carry backpacks or purses during the school day for "security" reasons
Apparently, earlier this week a girl carrying purses was pulled out of class and questioned a school security guard about whether or not they she was having her period, in which case she would be allowed to carry a purse to class.
This is absolutely ridiculous, making young women advertise the fact that they are having their period by allowing them to carry purses only during that time of the month.
I applaud the students who started a protest against this invasion of privacy.
I have truly begun to fear for our country and our childlren's future as we have gone totally overboard in attempts to keep everyone safe from everything: RealID, shoes off at airports, etc., etc., etc. It can't be done. Let's spend our money on providing health care to those without insurance. And now I will climb down off my soapbox.
Here is a link that might be useful: News story
No BACKPACKS at SCHOOL!? Uh, what are they supposed to CARRY THEIR BOOKS, HOMEWORK AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES IN???Perhaps we could go back to the 1800's and carry our supplies over our backs with a big fat rope? Oh no, then the kids would be accused of attempting or planning a lynching. Maybe bandanas? My grandfather used to wrap his sanwiches in those. No, it would start a gang war.
Incidently, I think it was the same channel that I saw another program on almost 2 weeks ago... Also about back-packs, except it was announcing that some very smart man had INVENTED BACK PACKS MADE OF KEVLAR FOR PROTECTION AGAINST ALL THE FLYING BULLETS going on in schools today be it crazy lunes trying to take over the elementary or the high schoolers gone mad against each other. (Did anyine stop to think that maybe all of those scenerios is b/c our government's gone wild/"overboard" and it's affecting us all?
No PURSES!? What are girls supposed to do; "All female students come to the office and please give official registry regarding your time of month" Then they give all female students a REAL SCHOOL ID to wear at all times so that school security can scan them and check whether or not they're in code per their 'legally monthly-alloted apparel'???
Hell YES we've gone "too far" as a nation and society. Guess what people... WE... ARE THE NATION AND SOCIETY! And if we don't stand up against this we will SOON find that it's TOO LATE.
So many of us think that we "can't do anything about it" or we're too busy to, or "someone else will"...
No, the day is already upon us... Indeed approaching dawn... It is time to ACT.
My son wasn't allowed to carry a backpack all through middle school for security reasons. And he had exactly 7 minutes to get from class to locker to next class, with detentions for each tardy. Horribly restrictive and punitive, and the kids hated it! And this was a safe school! (Would have been without the ridiculous backpack regulations.)
My son was watching the Simpsons, this morning. In one scene was your founding fathers drawing up the constitution. When they came to the point about "the right to bear arms", apparently it was meant to read "the right to have bear arms". As in to have arms like a bear.
Perhaps if that had happened you would not be in the situation you are in with students being at risk, at school.
Ok, so it's ok for the girls to have purses (where they can presumably hide weapons) on the days when they are most likely to use those weapons?? What kind of logic is that?? LOL!
Somewhat similar situation at my son's HIGH school. Yes High school where they are required to wear UNIFORMS. If you can believe that.
On Fridays they are allowed to not wear the uniform shirt but instead wear any shirt that has the school name on it (from sports or clubs or school activities). Now, apparently, it's common practice to wear those shirts on days other than Fridays, no one complained in the past. But one day at the beginning of this year they decided to have a crack down and send kids home if they weren't in proper uniform.
Wouldn't ya know it, my son was wearing his theatre tshirt. They sent him home. Explanation: uniform is for safety of students. My question: so it's ok that they're not safe on FRIDAYS??
Problem with people who work in schools, too many of them can't see past the end of their nose. It's all about power and rules instead of being about education.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian boxing's pin-up boy Vijender Singh drags himself to the ring in Patiala each day, sweats out mechanically and leaves wondering if it was all worth the trouble.
Singh's frustration reflects the mood of the athletes in a country that has been kicked out of the Olympic family for allowing government interference in the functioning of its controversial Olympic committee.
To make matters worse for local boxers, the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation has separately been suspended by the sport's international governing body (AIBA) for "possible manipulation" in its September elections.
"It's very frustrating," Singh told Reuters by telephone.
"We can't go to any camps, can't compete in any competitions but still train day in and day out to stay in shape.
"We ask ourselves every day 'Why are we training? What's the use of it when we are banned?'
"The urge to train harder will come only when we can see a ray of hope."
Singh's middleweight bronze in the 2008 Beijing Games helped raise boxing's profile in India, which otherwise remains obsessed with cricket.
"It (ban) shouldn't have happened. It is not good for Indian sports and Indian boxing. Whatever needs to be done should be done and this ban should be lifted as soon as possible."
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) due to government interference in its December 5 elections, which also saw a tainted official being elected to a key post.
Lalit Bhanot, who spent 11 months in custody following corruption charges that swirled around the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, was elected unopposed as the secretary-general despite the IOC declaring the elections "null and void".
While the athletes may still compete under the IOC flag, the prospect does not excite discus thrower Krishna Poonia.
"It is obviously a matter of concern. Till this crisis is solved, there will always be concerns surrounding our participation in competitions and that too under some other flag," the 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist told Reuters.
"It's very confusing for us. We hope we won't suffer like the boxers."
Bhanot and his IOA colleagues continue to defy the IOC and there appears no immediate solution either, something shooter Joydeep Karmakar finds exasperating.
"The way out is pretty simple and basic -- follow the Olympic Charter," he said by phone.
India should take the opportunity to weed out vested interests from sports administration, said Karmakar, who narrowly missed out on a bronze in men's 50m rifle prone at the London Olympics.
Singh echoed Karmakar's views and urged administrators to put national interest above anything else.
"I think the whole of India should be involved in solving this crisis. It's a loss for India and every Indian citizen," the 27-year-old boxer said. "If the officials are doing this for their personal gain, they are betraying the country."
IOC member Randhir Singh acknowledged the athletes were suffering for no fault of their own.
"You have to go by the IOC rules. If it carries on like this any further, it's possible that the Indian athletes will not be allowed to participate anywhere," he told Reuters.
"Who will suffer in the end? Obviously the Indian athletes and that too just because of the whims and fancies of a few."

I am planning a smash schedule this winter. What container do you use as a fermenter if you want to do 5x1 gallon hops comparison?
i do repeats of my recipes and dial them in one change at a time until it's exactly what i want. in between my standards i will play around with small 3 gallon smash brews to get the feel of what a grain or hop will add.
Start out knowing what you want the beer to taste, smell and feel like. When you brew the recipe, figure out what is off from your vision of the beer and adjust towards that goal. Of course sometimes you get something different than what you wanted and decide it's a better result so your goal can shift and just continue to modify to reach the new goal.
Say no to intolerance: love gluten and lactose.

Graham Watson
Tennessee OL arrested after allegedly stealing an Xbox from another studentGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 10 hrs ago
Tennessee offensive tackle Coleman Thomas was arrested Wednesday on a felony theft charge after he was accused of stealing an Xbox and three video games from a dorm room.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, which obtained the police report, a student reported on March 13 that someone entered his room at Reese Hall on the University of Tennessee's campus between 10:55 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and stole his Xbox and games Call of Duty Warfare, NBA2K15 and NHL 15.
Police learned the stolen items had been sold to a local Game Stop store that day for $176. The transaction was traced back to Thomas.
The arrest report noted that the value of the items was $640.
Thomas is scheduled to be arraigned on April 7.
Thomas, a rising sophomore, did participate in the Vols first spring practice on Tuesday. He played in 11 of Tennessee's 13 games last season as a true freshman and started five games at right tackle. He worked out at center during spring practice. The school has not issued a release on what if any disciplinary measures will be taken, but it does practice Thursday afternoon.
Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell says he's '80 percent' recovered from broken legGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 15 hrs ago
Ole Miss receiver Laquon Treadwell said he's about 80 percent recovered from a broken leg he suffered against Auburn on Nov. 1.
Last month, Treadwell posted a video on Instagram showing him running with Rebels' linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche, who broke his ankle against LSU on Oct. 25.
"It was not even a month ago when I got to jumping around and moving and being mobile, working out with the guys," Treadwell said on Tuesday. "It kept me focused and wanting to get back out there.
"There's a little hesitation. I'm about 80 percent, but you know it's getting better everyday."
Treadwell was headed toward the goal line for what would have been the game-winning score against the Tigers when he was tackled awkwardly resulting in a fractured fibula, a dislocated ankle and a game-losing fumble. The loss knocked the Rebels out of the top four of the College Football Playoff standings and left the Rebels reeling.
Alabama lawmaker proposes bill to bring back UAB footballGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 2 days ago
Alabama State Rep. Jack Williams, who on Monday called for the removal of UAB president Ray Watts, is currently working to get the Blazers football team reinstated.
Williams, proposed legislation late last week to require the University of Alabama System to have a football program at UAB as long as there is one on the main campus in Tuscaloosa.
More than 35 House members have signed on as co-sponsors of the bill.
Watts announced in December that UAB was ending its football, women's bowling and women's rifle programs due to a lack of funding. Since that announcement, there have been numerous protests in an attempt to bring the sports back.
Watts also has come under fire after AL.com released several documents that revealed Watts had already decided to disband the sports in September, despite claiming he didn't know their fates until November. One memo suggested UAB should wait until after the football season to announce the cuts to limit the in-season backlash.
Williams called for Watts' job after the documents were released.
Former Nebraska DL coach arrested after domestic disputeGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 2 days ago
Former Nebraska defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski was charged Monday with third-degree assault following an incident at his residence Saturday evening to early Sunday morning.
According to police reports, Kaczenski, 40, struck his wife in the face with a picture frame during a dispute. His wife, 33, suffered a cut to her forehead and scratches on her face and neck. She did not need to go to a hospital for medical treatment.
Kaczenski denied to police he hurti his wife.
Kaczenski was arrested Sunday and officially charged Monday. He was released on bond Monday evening, but is not allowed to have contact with his wife. The couple have two young children.
His next court date is May 26 at 2 p.m.
Kaczenski spent three seasons as the Huskers defensive line coach under former coach Bo Pelini from 2012-2014. New Nebraska coach Mike Riley did not retain him and was he invited to join Pelini at Youngstown State.
Kaczenski was a three-year starting center at Notre Dame (1995-97) and spent seven seasons at Iowa before joining the Huskers.

Papers show UAB planned to shut down football last SeptemberGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 3 days ago
When the University of Alabama-Birmingham announced in December that it was folding its football program, it became the first Football Bowl Subdivision/Division I-A school to do so since 1995. However, according to documents obtained by AL.com, the decision to end the program was actually made when the football season began.
Public relations firm Sard Verbinnen & Co., initially advised the university to shut down football, women's bowling and women's rifle in September 2014. A memo obtained by AL.com noted that staff members, including football coach Bill Clark and athletic director Brian Mackin, would be notified on Sept. 17 and a public announcement would be made on Sept. 30. However, the public relations firm adjusted its thinking and advised the university to push the announcement back for fear of blowback from the football team.
Idaho cancels rescheduled game vs. Florida, adds MizzouGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 5 days ago
For those who were hoping to see Florida make up its 2014 canceled game against Idaho, you might be waiting awhile.
The rescheduled contest was supposed to take place in 2017, but the Vandals postponed the game and instead scheduled a contest against Missouri in its place.
The original game was scheduled for Aug. 30, 2014, but the game was delayed because of poor weather and then ultimately canceled. As a result of the cancelation, Florida agreed to pay Idaho $970,000, the original payout for the game, and then the two sides agreed to a reschedule in 2017, which Idaho announced in a press release.
However, Missouri offered to pay Idaho $1.3 million for a Oct. 21, 2017 contest, and the Florida game was scratched for that year.
According to the Spokesman Review, there is hope the game might still be played, but it's unknown when.

Chuck Bednarik, namesake of the Bednarik Award, dead at 89Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday 5 days ago
Penn's legendary linebacker and College Football Hall of Famer Chuck Bednarik passed away early Saturday morning. He was 89.
Bednarik, who is the namesake for the award given to the top defensive player in the country, played both linebacker and center for the Penn Quakers. He was a three-time All-American and was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1969.
Bednarik won the Maxwell Award, which honors the nation's top player, in 1948 and finished third in Heisman voting that same year. The Maxwell Football Club, which issues the Maxwell Award, founded the Chuck Bednarik Award in 1995.
The Penn Football program joins the entire football community in mourning the passing of Chuck Bednarik this morning. pic.twitter.com/D7L8aoLCAx
Bednarik was the first overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1949. Known as "Concrete Charlie" because he sold concrete to supplement his income, Bednarik played linebacker and center for the Eagles until 1962.
"Pros like myself played football not for money or glory, but for the simplest reason: the love of the game." - R.I.P. Chuck Bednarik
Princeton will play a spring game in Kobe, Japan on Saturday
While most of the country is focused on college basketball, the Princeton football team is preparing for what might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Tigers are currently in Kobe, Japan readying for Saturday's Legacy Bowl against Kwansei Gakun University.
According to running back DiAndre Atwater, who is writing the team blog about the trip, the Tigers endured a "13-and-a-half hour flight from JFK to Tokyo, another hour connecting flight to Osaka, and a forty-five minute bus ride to our hotel in Kobe."
Atwater also noted that while many players opted for McDonalds during their first night in Kobe, players have been more adventurous in sampling the local fare. They've also done their fare share of sightseeing and shopping.
This actually will be the second time these two programs have met. Princeton defeated Kwansei Gakun, 27-25, in a 2001 exhibition.
Kwansei Gakun is considered one of the premier college football programs in Japan with 27 Japanese Collegiate championships.
Utah State WR Hayden Weichers facing sexual assault and drug charges
Suspended Utah State receiver Gregory Hayden Weichers, who was arrested for soliciting a prostitute last fall, also has been charged with distribution of a controlled substance and sexual battery.
Weichers previously pleaded guilty to soliciting a prostitute and was indefinitely suspended from the team in November.
On Oct. 22, police responded to a call at a Logan, Utah hotel where a woman claimed to have been drugged and sexually assaulted. The woman admitted to being at the hotel for escort services, which prompted Weichers' original arrest. However, police learned that Weichers came to the hotel with marijuana and sexually assaulted the woman.
A court date has not yet been set.
Ex-Temple standout Matt Brown charged with human trafficking
Former Temple all-purpose player Matt Brown was arrested on Tuesday and charged with human trafficking.
Brown, 25, was arrested during a sting operation after he brought three girls, ages 14, 16 and 17, to a Baltimore County hotel for prostitution, police told the Baltimore Sun.
According to the paper, detectives responded to an ad that contained terminology "known to be used by prostitutes." They arranged a meeting with Brown and Anthony Eley, 30. The two men were arrested Tuesday night and the girls were classified as victims of human trafficking.
As of Thursday, Brown was being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center. His bail was set at $75,000.
Brown, who is 5-foot-5, 165 pounds, was signed as a free agent kick returner by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013, but released.

III. Situation.
The complexity, scope, and potential consequences of a terrorist threat or incident require that there be a rapid and decisive capability to resolve the situation. The resolution to an act of terrorism demands an extraordinary level of coordination of crisis and consequence management functions and technical expertise across all levels of government. No single Federal, State, or local governmental agency has the capability or requisite authority to respond independently and mitigate the consequences of such a threat to national security. The incident may affect a single location or multiple locations, each of which may be a disaster scene, a hazardous scene and/or a crime scene simultaneously.
B. Differences Between WMD Incidents and Other Incidents
As in all incidents, WMD incidents may involve mass casualties and damage to buildings or other types of property. However, there are several factors surrounding WMD incidents that are unlike any other type of incidents that must be taken into consideration when planning a response. First responders' ability to identify aspects of the incident (e.g., signs and symptoms exhibited by victims) and report them accurately will be key to maximizing the use of critical local resources and for triggering a Federal response.
1. The situation may not be recognizable until there are multiple casualties. Most chemical and biological agents are not detectable by methods used for explosives and firearms. Most agents can be carried in containers that look like ordinary items.
2. There may be multiple events (e.g., one event in an attempt to influence another event's outcome).
3. Responders are placed at a higher risk of becoming casualties. Because agents are not readily identifiable, responders may become contaminated before recognizing the agent involved. First responders may, in addition, be targets for secondary releases or explosions.
4. The location of the incident will be treated as a crime scene. As such, preservation and collection of evidence is critical. Therefore, it is important to ensure that actions on-scene are coordinated between response organizations to minimize any conflicts between law enforcement authorities, who view the incident as a crime scene, and other responders, who view it as a hazardous materials or disaster scene.
5. Contamination of critical facilities and large geographic areas may result. Victims may carry an agent unknowingly to public transportation facilities, businesses, residences, doctors' offices, walk-in medical clinics, or emergency rooms because they don't realize that they are contaminated. First responders may carry the agent to fire or precinct houses, hospitals, or to the locations of subsequent calls.
6. The scope of the incident may expand geometrically and may affect mutual aid jurisdictions. Airborne agents flow with the air current and may disseminate via ventilation systems, carrying the agents far from the initial source.
7. There will be a stronger reaction from the public than with other types of incidents. The thought of exposure to a chemical or biological agent or radiation evokes terror in most people. The fear of the unknown also makes the public's response more severe.
8. Time is working against responding elements. The incident can expand geometrically and very quickly. In addition, the effects of some chemicals and biological agents worsen over time.
9. Support facilities, such as utility stations and 911 centers along with critical infrastructures, are at risk as targets.
10. Specialized State and local response capabilities may be overwhelmed.
C. Threat Levels
The CONPLAN establishes a range of threat levels determined by the FBI that serve to frame the nature and scope of the Federal response. Each threat level provides for an escalating range of actions that will be implemented concurrently for crisis and consequence management. The Federal government will take specific actions which are synchronized to each threat level, ensuring that all Federal agencies are operating with jointly and consistently executed plans. The Federal government will notify and coordinate with State and local governments, as necessary. The threat levels are described below:
1. Level #4--Minimal Threat:
Received threats do not warrant actions beyond normal liaison notifications or placing assets or resources on a heightened alert (agencies are operating under normal day-to-day conditions).
2. Level #3--Potential Threat:
Intelligence or an articulated threat indicates a potential for a terrorist incident. However, this threat has not yet been assessed as credible.
3. Level #2--Credible Threat:
A threat assessment indicates that the potential threat is credible, and confirms the involvement of WMD in the developing terrorist incident. Intelligence will vary with each threat, and will impact the level of the Federal response. At this threat level, the situation requires the tailoring of response actions to use Federal resources needed to anticipate, prevent, and/or resolve the crisis. The Federal crisis management response will focus on law enforcement actions taken in the interest of public safety and welfare, and is predominantly concerned with preventing and resolving the threat. The Federal consequence management response will focus on contingency planning and pre-positioning of tailored resources, as required. The threat increases in significance when the presence of an explosive device or WMD capable of causing a significant destructive event, prior to actual injury or loss, is confirmed or when intelligence and circumstances indicate a high probability that a device exists. In this case, the threat has developed into a WMD terrorist situation requiring an immediate process to identify, acquire, and plan the use of Federal resources to augment State and local authorities in lessening or averting the potential consequence of a terrorist use or employment of WMD.
4. Level #1--WMD Incident:
A WMD terrorism incident has occurred which requires an immediate process to identify, acquire, and plan the use of Federal resources to augment State and local authorities in response to limited or major consequences of a terrorist use or employment of WMD. This incident has resulted in mass casualties. The Federal response is primarily directed toward public safety and welfare and the preservation of human life.
D. Lead Federal Agency Responsibilities
The LFA, in coordination with the appropriate Federal, State and local agencies, is responsible for formulating the Federal strategy and a coordinated Federal response. To accomplish that goal, the LFA must establish multi-agency coordination structures, as appropriate, at the incident scene, area, and national level. These structures are needed to perform oversight responsibilities in operations involving multiple agencies with direct statutory authority to respond to aspects of a single major incident or multiple incidents. Oversight responsibilities include:
* Coordination. Coordinate the determination of operational objectives, strategies, and priorities for the use of critical resources that have been allocated to the situation, and communicate multi-agency decisions back to individual agencies and incidents.
* Situation Assessment. Evaluate emerging threats, prioritize incidents, and project future needs.
* Public Information. As the spokesperson for the Federal response, the LFA is responsible for coordinating information dissemination to the White House, Congress, and other Federal, State and local government officials. In fulfilling this responsibility, the LFA ensures that the release of public information is coordinated between crisis and consequence management response entities. The Joint Information Center (JIC) is established by the LFA, under the operational control of the LFA's Public Information Officer, as a focal point for the coordination and provision of information to the public and media concerning the Federal response to the emergency. The JIC may be established in the same location as the FBI Joint Operations Center (JOC) or may be located at an on-scene location in coordination with State and local agencies. The following elements should be represented at the JIC: (1) FBI Public Information Officer and staff, (2) FEMA Public Information Officer and staff, (3) other Federal agency Public Information Officers, as needed, and (4) State and local Public Information Officers.

Camper's buzzer beater lifts Bears to win over Modesto
Nick Camper didn't have time to think. He could only react.
The Merced High junior tipped in a miss by Travante Richard just before the buzzer to lift the Bears to a 59-57 win over Modesto on Tuesday night at Clemons Court.
"I guess I was in the right place at the right time," Camper said. "It was almost a lucky miss by Travante."
Camper's last-second shot helped the Bears (5-1) escape with a win in a game that they had held double-digit leads for most of the first half but were unable to pull away from the pesky Panthers.
Merced blitzed Modesto in the first quarter with its full-court press as it turned turnovers into easy baskets as the Bears sprinted to a 19-6 lead with 1:14 left in the first quarter.
The Panthers slowed the game by going to a 2-3 zone and forced Merced to score in its half-court sets and the Bears struggled. It was unlike the first matchup between the two teams last week at the Modesto City Classic where Merced forced Modesto out of a zone by knocking down shots in a 57-38 win.
This time the zone worked.
"It changed the tide for us," said Modesto coach Pete Peterson, whose team dropped to 1-5. "It slowed down the tempo for us. It made them go more half court. Man-to-man was going to be a tough proposition for us with some of the athletes they have."
Every time Merced would stretch the lead out to eight or 10 points the Panthers would close the quarter with a mini run to stay within reach. Norvon Howard (20 points) scored eight straight points in 41 seconds in the second quarter to cut a 12-point deficit to 31-27.
Modesto's Cesar Martinez came away with a steal and a bucket at the buzzer in the third quarter to pull the Panthers within 48-44.
"It seemed like at the end of quarters we would just relax and Modesto did a good job of taking advantage of that," Merced coach Hector Nava said. "They did an excellent job with the timing of their zone. It slowed us down and it slowed down our defense. We settled for some outside shots. But I thought our guys stayed composed."
Travante Richard had a nice all-round game for the Bears as he played all over the floor from center to point guard at times. The senior finished with 19 points, nine rebounds and five steals.
"We want to play fast, but we still have to be patient, make smart passes and use ball fakes," Richard said. "We have to use all the basics to move the ball. Sometimes we play too fast for ourselves."
The Bears found themselves in a nailbiter at the end after Modesto's Orlando Cardenas hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 55-55 with 2:17 left.
Richard hit a pair of free throws to regain the lead for Merced, but Scott Soares scored inside to tie the game at 57-57 with 1:47 remaining.
Howard missed a 3-pointer with 31 seconds left to give the final shot to Merced.
Richard found a wide open Calvin Garcia on the baseline. Garcia's 15-foot jumper missed. Richard pulled down the rebound and put up a quick shot, but missed. Camper was there for the putback and as the ball rolled around the rim and the buzzer sounded.
"I didn't know how much time I had," Camper said. "I just knew it was in the final seconds. We kind of got lucky the ball rolled around the rim to run the final time off the clock."

Recipe: Smoky Creamed Kale
Recipes from The Kitchn
You know what's even better than creamed spinach? Creamed kale. Why? Read Christine's argument for branching out beyond spinach in your greens. But do you know what makes a plate of creamed kale even better? A pinch of smoke, that's what. Meet smoky creamed kale, the modern answer to creamed spinach.
4 Greens That Are Better Creamed than Spinach
Tips from The Kitchn
When eating at a steakhouse, I never have to think about which cut of beef I'm going to order (always a ribeye), but I always agonize over the side dishes. Do I go healthy with steamed vegetables, load up a baked potato, or maybe throw caution to the wind and indulge in a pile of onion rings?
But there is one thing I will always choose if it's on the menu, and that is creamed spinach. It has nothing to do with the fact that it is spinach, though. In fact, I think this iconic side dish would be tastier if it was made with any number of other greens instead, and here's why.
Recipe: Roasted Potatoes with Bacon & Brussels Sprouts
Side Dish Recipes from The Kitchn
These three ingredients couldn't really be bad together, no matter what you do with them (Brussels sprouts and pork is a favorite combination). But I added some grainy mustard just to make things more interesting. It's the perfect side dish for a cold evening.
Recipe: Spaghetti Squash Latkes
Recipes from The Kitchn
Every year when Hanukkah comes around, I always take on the challenge to cook up creative latke recipes. The classic potato-and-onion recipe is always great on the first few nights, but by the third night, I find that I'm craving something a little different. Here, I've swapped the starchy grated potato for some tender spaghetti squash and tossed it with fresh herbs, green onions, and Pecorino Romano — an easy (and gluten-free!) latke everyone will love.

Thanksgiving from The Kitchn

Side Dish Recipes from The Kitchn
I am not a holiday food purist. When my family switched our eating habits, we carried our love of vegetables and whole grains into the holidays as well. At first, the other members of my extended family were hesitant, but after a few years, they realized that while the food was heavily loaded with vegetables, it was still delicious. These simple sweet potatoes would easily grace our table during the holidays.
Everything You Need to Know About Making Mashed Potatoes
Tips from The Kitchn
Light and fluffy, perfectly seasoned mashed potatoes should be so delicious that you don't even have to drown them in gravy (although that probably won't stop some people). It's hard to imagine a plate of meatloaf, pot roast, or Thanksgiving turkey without this quintessential side dish on it.
Are you a mashed potato novice? Or maybe you want to take your potatoes to new heights of awesome. Read on for everything you need to know about making mashed potatoes, from choosing the right potato to how to keep them warm after they're done!
Recipe: Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs
Thanksgiving Recipes from The Kitchn
I'm on the record as saying Thanksgiving leftover recipes are a bit silly. Most Thanksgiving leftovers are perfectly good reheated. I don't need too many ways to eat leftover stuffing, for instance; straight out of the dish is generally quite good enough (although pan-frying as a reheating method is pretty sublime).
But there are a few opportunities to not just use up leftovers, but to make something wholly new and delicious out of them. Mashed potatoes often aren't as good reheated as they were fresh, and as I had a mound of them left over, here's what I made: Crispy, creamy, cheesy mashed potato puffs.
Oyster Dressing, Just Like My Mother (and Grandmothers) Made
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
This Thanksgiving, we're doing something different. After sharing almost every Thanksgiving of my life with my parents, I was at a loss this year because they're both now gone. I am (so very, very) lucky to have a dear friend who is willing (enthusiastic, even!) to lump us in with her family for the holiday, and I can't wait. (She throws a great party, and this will be no exception.)
I offered to bring the oyster dressing, and planned to use my mom's recipe. But I couldn't find it. Panic ensued.
