Avocado-Buttermilk Soup with Crab SaladThis simple, no-cook soup is garnished with delicious orange-infused crabmeat. A vibrant, green-hued bowlful set before a hungry diner will not last long—take our word for it. Although it is intended to be rich and creamy, if the soup seems a little too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more buttermilk.
Loaded Mashed Potato Soup
This is the perfect recipe for a novice, yielding delicious results with basic skills. If you aren't great with a knife, buy prechopped onion, grate or press the garlic, and snip the green onions and dill with kitchen shears.

Roasted Chesnut Soup with Thyme CreamRoasting bottled chestnuts brings back fresh-toasted flavor. The vibrant color of this soup is sure to be a treat to the eyes as well!
Beef and Pinto Bean ChiliTake it slow. Let chili simmer slowly—the flavors will meld as the liquid thickens, intensifying the overall taste. For a three-alarm chili, leave the seeds and membranes in the jalapeños. The sour cream has a cooling effect, but you can seed the peppers or use less for a milder result.
Roasted Corn, Pepper, and Tomato ChowderGrilling the vegetables heightens their sweetness, and blue cheese provides a pungent counterpoint in this soup. Substitute crumbled goat cheese or feta, if you prefer.
Lamb Tagine
This Moroccan-style lamb stew is hearty, delicious, budget friendly, and full of intriguing flavor combinations (cinnamon, honey, and apricots). We recommend serving with two cups hot cooked couscous.

Chicken Barley Soup with Walnut PestoHabanero peppers are fiery hot, so handle them carefully. In this dish, you simply pierce the chile with a fork and float it in the broth as the soup cooks. Remove it with a slotted spoon before serving. If you prefer milder heat, use the same technique with a jalapeño.
Lentil Stew with Ham and GreensOne of the best things about this supper—aside from its great flavor—is that it can be ready in less than an hour, start to finish. The hearty texture and filling lentils will ensure that everyone leaves the table satisfied.
Mother's CioppinoBe sure to serve this classic Italian soup with a toasted French baguette. You won't want to risk wasting a drop of the delicious and flavorful broth.
Roasted Garlic and Shallot Potato Soup with Cheesy CroutonsThe strong cheeses provide a good opportunity to enjoy a full-flavored ale that doesn't dominate the food. Try Fuller's ESB from London, or Dock Street Ale from Philadelphia. The caramel flavors of Guinness stout would also work well, bringing out the sweetness of the onions.
View Recipe: Roasted Garlic and Shallot Potato Soup with Cheesy Croutons
Chunky Tomato-Fruit GazpachoThe mangoes, melons, and nectarines, along with the cucumber, give the gazpacho a sweet spin. Don't seed the jalapeño if you like a soup with more zip.
VichyssoiseThis version of the classic cold potato-leek soup is also good warm. With a short list of ingredients and easy prep, this might be your family's next weeknight favorite.
Savannah-Style Crab SoupThe richness of this soup is deceiving—lightened ingredients without sacrificing flavor. The key is the roux. But remember, the key to mastering a roux is to never leave it unsupervised. If the flour starts to brown too quickly, remove the skillet from the heat and stir the flour constantly until it cools.
Mixed-Bean Chili with TofuThis recipe calls for canned beans to cut back on the prep time. The recipe developer hailed from New Mexico and opted to use pure ground chiles instead of chili powder, which is laced with garlic.
Chicken and DumplingsDiners will rave every time you make this comfort food dish. Use a whole chicken cut into pieces and skinned. You can make the store-bought chicken stock taste more like homemade by adding some fresh herbs and parsley and simmering until it's reduced by half.
Fennel and Spinach Soup with Roasted Pepper YogurtYou can serve this light, bright-tasting soup hot or at room temperature—or if you want to get a head start, make it ahead and serve it chilled. If the soup seems a little too thick after pureeing, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it out.
View Recipe: Fennel and Spinach Soup with Roasted Pepper Yogurt
Ropa ViejaThis Cuban stew is made by braising beef until it can be shredded—thus the name (translated as 'old clothes'). Serve with tortillas, and pass hot sauce on the side for those who like it fiery. Because the meat is shredded, it's also suitable for tacos and burritos.
Summer Squash and Corn ChowderEnjoy soup in the summertime by making this satisfying chowder with seasonal produce. Top with cheese and bacon for kid appeal.
Cream of Asparagus SoupFor a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Garnish with thin asparagus spears for a graceful presentation.
French Onion Soup

Jamaican Chicken StewThis stew is full of lively flavors that combine to create a palate pleasing Jamaican-inspired dish, perfect for any occasion. Serve over rice and garnish with a sprig of fresh flat leaf parsley for a winning presentation.
Roasted Butternut Squash and Shallot SoupSpicy fresh ginger complements the sweet roasted winter squash and shallots in this easy recipe. Serve with a grilled cheese sandwich for a simple supper.
Split Pea Soup with RosemaryClassic split pea soup is given an herb makeover with the addition of rosemary in the ingredient list. Another unexpected (but delightfully delicious) flavor? Soy sauce—you've got to try this one!
Winter Plum SoupThis rosy puree of canned plums, wine, and Cointreau is equally good served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It makes a wonderful first course or a refreshingly light dessert. Prepare up to one day ahead, and chill in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld before serving.
Basic Beef Stew with Carrots and MushroomsThis classic beef stew recipe has all you expect in beef stew: tender chunks of beef, carrot and potato. Yet the cremini mushrooms are a wonderful surprise.
Canadian Cheese Soup with Pumpernickel CroutonsThis rich and healthy soup will be a winner with everyone at the table. Always trying to sneak a few veggies into kid-friendly meals? If so, this recipe will be your next go-to.

Golden Peach Soup with Shrimp and Crab SevicheAs intriguing as it is beautiful, this sweet-tangy-slightly spicy soup makes a stunning first course. It's refreshing and cool flavors (and temperature) make it the perfect choice for a mid-summer's dinner.
Mussels in Spicy Coconut BrothThis recipe can be prepared and plated to impress in a flash. While broth mixture comes to a boil, scrub and debeard mussels. Slice basil while mussels cook.
Savory Beet SoupFor added creaminess and a lovely presentation, we swirled this vibrantly colored beet soup with sour cream. Even without the additional decoration, the bright and vibrant color of this soup will make a dinner table show-stopper.
Thai Shrimp BisqueDon't let the ingredient list intimidate you, this bisque will be well worth the effort. The rich broth with traditional Thai flavors make this an international option that will please even the least adventurous diner in the group.
Quick Chicken-Corn ChowderYou can have this chicken corn chowder on the table in less than 30 minutes. Sounds too good to be true, right? We guess you will just have to try it to find out.
Mexican Black-Bean ChiliIf you're looking for an easy chili recipe, check out this Mexican-inspired black bean chili. It features ground chuck, onion, bell pepper, and traditional chili spices.
Beef, Beer, and Barley StewYou can use barley groats rather than pearl barley in this stew to give the dish a little more texture. Substitute rutabagas, parsnips, or other root vegetables of your choice for the carrots and turnips.
Chicken Cassoulet with Acorn SquashDon't have time to prepare this recipe all at once? The squash-and-bean mixture (paragraphs 1 and 2 in the method) can be prepared a day ahead of time; cover and refrigerate.
Cool Summer-Berry SoupThis cool soup is a delightful choice for a hot summer day. Take advantage of summer's most flavorful fruits in an unexpected and delicious way.
Fresh Pea Soup with MintServe warm or at room temperature for a first course or with a salad for a light meal. Mint gives the dish a fresh flavor that everyone will love.
Vietnamese Beef-Noodle BowlMarinating the beef for 4 to 24 hours ahead can save preparation time later and add extra flavor, if desired. Whole star anise imparts a licorice-like aroma and flavor to the broth, but the soup is very good without it.
Borlotti MinestroneThis recipe calls for Borlotti beans—the Italian variety of cranberry beans. They may be hard to find, if so, they can be ordered from Rancho Gordo, among other online retailers.
Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup with ChickenThis soup is hearty without being heavy. Add sliced whole wheat French bread and mixed salad greens to complete the menu.
Creole Shrimp and Sausage Stew"The broth on this stew is great, and no one would know that it had very little prep and cooking time." —SAECCA
Warm up cool evenings with a delicious stew that's just as delicious on its own as it is when ladled over rice. Serve with crusty bread and hot sauce.
Roasted Squash Soup with Turkey CroquettesLeftover turkey (or fresh if you are so inclined), breadcrumbs, and egg combine to make crisp croquettes that nestle in velvety squash soup. Panko breadcrumbs are extracrisp, but you can use plain dry breadcrumbs, if you prefer.
Creamy Celeriac SoupCelery root (or celeriac) is the star in this dish. A garnish of French baguette croutons provides the ideal crunchy complement to the creaminess of the soup.
Baked Potato-and-Bacon SoupBake the potatoes and shred the cheese the day before making the soup. If the soup needs to simmer awhile on the stove, you may need to add more chicken broth.
Carne con PapasThis everyday dish is usually accompanied by white rice. Olives, raisins, and capers make the stew reminiscent of picadillo. To streamline the preparation process, chop the potatoes and olives while the beef and vegetables simmer.
Fresh Tomato Soup"I love tomato soup and have found a way to enjoy it when the weather gets cooler by using plum tomatoes," said reader Danese Blackwell. "They are flavorful year-round."
Hot and Sour Soup with TofuSince this appetizer soup is a good source of protein, it works as a main dish if you double the portion size. White pepper gives the soup mild heat; for more spice, stir in sambal oelek.
Creamy Lentil SoupThis soup is a filling and guilt-free choice that is reminiscent of potato soup. While delicious on its own, garnishing with bacon really takes it up a notch.
Sausage, Kale, and Bean SoupSausage fires a simple five-ingredient soup with smoky spice. We recommend serving with crusty bread for a well-rounded meal.
Chickpea Stew Scented with Lemon and CuminThe garbanzo beans provide plenty of protein for this meatless, one-dish meal. Polenta gives the dish a creamy base and balances the spicy sauce.
Gazpacho with Avocado and Cumin Chips
This recipe is super simple with a big flavor payoff. Just combine all the ingredients and chill — could it get any easier? We didn't think so.

Adding turkey kielbasa lends this hearty soup recipe a rich, slow-simmered flavor even though it takes less than 30 minutes to make.
BouillabaisseThe traditional seafood stew of Provence, a bouillabaisse is typically made with tomatoes, onions, wine, olive oil, garlic, herbs, fish and shellfish. Soak up the flavorful broth with Olive Bread or a crusty French baguette. While 8 cups of water doesn't seem like much, it's enough to steam the lobsters. If clams are unavailable, substitute an equal amount of mussels.
Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup with Cranberry RelishThis is a thick puree of carrots and sweet potatoes garnished with a zesty cranberry topping. Storing and transporting is easy: Place one cup soup, about one tablespoon relish, and 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley in separate containers. To serve, reheat the soup; combine the relish and parsley, and garnish. Crisp breadsticks and a small wedge of sharp cheddar cheese complete the meal.
View Recipe: Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup with Cranberry Relish
Chipotle Chicken Tortilla SoupIf you like spicy food, you'll love this. Purchase corn muffins from your supermarket bakery to round out the meal.
Manhattan-Style Fish ChowderYou can use any firm whitefish in this classic tomato-based soup. For a more filling meal, serve with a small salad with fresh veggies and a light vinaigrette.
Tiny French Beans with Smoked SausageFind flageolets, tiny French kidney beans, in specialty food stores or online at Indian Harvest. For a nice presentation, garnish with thyme sprigs.
Beer-Cheddar SoupAvoid using dark beer, which could make the soup too bitter. Toast the bread cubes a day ahead, cool, and store at room temperature. Serve the soup in a tureen with the toasted bread cubes and chives on the side, and let guests help themselves.
Cucumber SoupThis fresh first-course cucumber soup features the addition of avocado, which lends the soup a creamy touch as well as gorgeous color.
Gulf of Mexico GumboNothing beats a bowlful of this classic seafood dish. Every ingredient has a significant role that melds into a beautiful medley of flavors, evident with each bite.
All-American ChiliThis all-American chili recipe is perfect for an outdoor cookout but can also be made on the stove for a comfort food classic on a cold day.
Roasted-Chicken Noodle Soup
Weight loss starts in the kitchen. Try the Cooking Light Diet
It doesn't get more classic than chicken noodle soup, and this creamy recipe is certainly a favorite. For the sake of convenience, we call for canned low-salt chicken broth. But, if you have a bit of time on your hands, feel free to use our recipe for Roasted Chicken Stock, if you are so inclined.
Chunky Gazpacho with Sautéed ShrimpThis chilled soup recipe is filled with fresh ingredients and plated to impress. Serve with homemade pita chips for a low-calorie dinner delight.
Beef Daube ProvençalThis classic French braised beef, red wine, and vegetable stew—developed by Lia Huber—is simple and delicious. It stands above all of our other beef recipes because it offers the homey comfort and convenience of pot roast yet is versatile and sophisticated enough for entertaining. Garnish with chopped fresh thyme.
Pumpkin and Yellow Pepper Soup with Smoked PaprikaPumpkinseed kernels are also known as pepitas. They, along with a number of vegetables, create a warm and savory meal. Garnish with parsley sprigs for a fresh presentation.
View Recipe: Pumpkin and Yellow Pepper Soup with Smoked Paprika
Tom Yum GoongGalangal—a root similar to ginger, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and fish sauce give this soup authentic flavor. Substitute ginger if you can't find galangal, and use 3 (2-inch) lime rind strips in place of the leaves. Reserve the shrimp shells; you'll need them to make the broth. Serve with rice noodles, if desired.
Carmelized Onion and Shiitake Soup with Gruyère–Blue Cheese ToastsEarthy shiitake mushrooms and pungent cheese toasts give this soup more heartiness than classic French onion soup. For a light main course option, pair with a salad that's lightly dressed so it doesn't overpower the soup.
View Recipe: Carmelized Onion and Shiitake Soup with Gruyère–Blue Cheese Toasts
Black Bean and Chorizo ChiliThis black bean chili recipe gets a kick from chorizo sausage and smoky chipotle chiles. Our dish will pack the flavor and we guarantee your taste buds will be ever grateful.
Minty Tomato SoupLook for large tomatoes, as they're easier to work with. If you make the soup ahead, the flavors will meld with time, but give the soup a quick stir before serving. Cheesy toasts add a bit of extra protein to this end-of-summer soup.
Turkey VatapaVatapa is a rustic Brazilian stew, a fiery blend with beer, coconut milk, and ground peanuts as its base. Made with leftover turkey, it's a snap to prepare. Vatapa can be made up to 2 days in advance; keep it covered in the refrigerator. It will thicken as it sits; just add a little water. Seed the jalapeño pepper to tame its heat.
Creamy Tomato-Balsamic SoupCooking the vegetables at the high temperature of 500° caramelizes their natural sugars and deepens their flavor; the liquid poured over them ensures they won't burn. Prepare the soup up to two days ahead; reheat over medium heat before serving.
Thai Shrimp and Chicken SoupThe minced ginger, minced garlic, mushrooms, and snow peas in this recipe require no preparation time at all. Find all those ingredients in your supermarket's produce department.
White Velvet SoupCeleriac and potatoes are the base of this deceptively rich soup. Serve as the first course of a refined menu.
Curry Ginger Butternut Squash Soup
Straining this spicy-sweet soup gives the final product a velvety appearance and texture. Garnish with chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley.
View Recipe: Curry Ginger Butternut Squash Soup
Ancho Pork and Hominy StewThis stew recipe is an easy way to feed your family meat and veggies in one dish. Readers rave it's quick, easy, and consistently delicious.
Smoky Mussels and Clams with White Wine BrothInfuse fresh mussels and clams with the sweet, smoky flavor of applewood chips for a tantalizingly unique grilled seafood dinner. A white wine sauce reduction featuring clam juice and reserved liquor turns this dish into a truly extraordinary entrée. Serve with grilled bread and a mixed green salad.
Chicken and Rosemary DumplingsSpoonfuls of seasoned buttermilk biscuit dough form light, fluffy dumplings in this classic American dish. Rosemary gives a new twist to the expected flavor of the dumplings.
French Onion Soup with Beef and Barley
Chock-full of fiber-rich barley, this French onion soup is a tasty variation on the classic. You can omit the sherry or replace it with white wine if you wish.
Quick Fall MinestroneMake the most of fall produce like butternut squash and kale in this hearty vegetarian soup. Pasta and beans make it especially filling.
BorschtThere are many different versions of this Russian soup. Unlike this interpretation, many are chunky. If you puree the soup as the recipe directs, you don't have to worry about precision when you're chopping. The simplest way to peel celeriac is to remove the rough, knobby skin with a sharp chef's knife.
White Turkey ChiliThis white turkey chili is a tasty alternative to the traditional red chili and makes the perfect meal on a cold winter night. We recommend serving with Southern Cornbread.
Rhubarb-Lentil Soup with Crème FraîcheSoaking the lentils in hot water helps them cook a bit more quickly when they're added to the soup. Because of rhubarb's likeness to the tangy herb sorrel, this dish plays off classic lentil-sorrel soup.
Carrot-Parsnip Soup with Parsnip ChipsWinter root vegetables lend their complementary, slightly sweet flavors to this hearty bowl. Stir in more water or broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Simple Clam ChowderThis clam chowder recipe is easy and tastes even better the next day. Want to talk about health benefits? The protein in the milk benefits hair and skin, and the vitamin B12 from the clams and B6 from the potatoes nourish hair. Garnish with additional fresh thyme.
Chili con CarneA traditional Texas-style chili, this stew packs a smoky punch from mildly spicy poblanos and a hot chipotle chile. Rinsing the chipotle mellows the heat; skip that step for more fire.
Turkey and Potato Soup with Canadian BaconFilled with two types of meat and baking potatoes, this hearty soup will warm up your family on a cold night. For a complete meal, serve with an arugula salad.
Shellfish with Chipotle and Tequila"Before cooking, soak the clams thoroughly to enhance their sweetness," advises the recipe developer, reader Gordon Katz. "I place them in a container, cover with water, add a touch of cornmeal, and keep them cool in the fridge for about an hour."
Duck and Black-Eyed Pea CassouletBlack-eyed peas stand in for the white beans used in the traditional French dish. Be sure to continue simmering the pea mixture after removing the duck to cool so the final texture will be thick and rich tasting.
Crab Bisque"I wanted to create a second course that is indulgent, rich, and pretty, too," said Mary Drenne Ankar, Test Kitchen Professional. "Funny: The first time we tried this and pureed the soup in a food processor, we almost decided to start over because the texture wasn't smooth enough. But then we put it in the blender, and it came out perfectly creamy."
Turkey Soup ProvençalHerbes de Provence pack enough flavor to make additional herbs and spices unnecessary—thus, a short ingredient list. This super easy and super fast soup will be a dinner time favorite in no time.
Beef, Black Bean, and Chorizo ChiliServe with classic condiments such as sour cream, chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. For a thinner chili, cook covered the whole time. You can prepare it a day ahead and refrigerate, or up to two weeks ahead and freeze (be sure to thaw the chili overnight in the refrigerator). Look for masa harina, the corn flour used to make tortillas, in the Latin foods aisle at the supermarket, or substitute fine-ground cornmeal. Use kitchen shears to cut up the tomatoes in the can.
Pasta-and-Chickpea Soup with PestoThis recipe gets high ratings from readers and it's no wonder. Our soup is at once healthy, light, and filling too! A garnish of pesto before serving completes an already delicious bowlful.
Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Processed cheese melts beautifully, giving this 30-minute broccoli and cheese soup a smooth texture and mild flavor. Broccoli and Cheese Soup is a kid-friendly way to eat more veggies—making it a winner in our book!
Gramercy Crawfish GumboTraditionally gumbo starts with a roux - a mixture of flour and fat that's cooked slowly until browned. In this recipe, named for a small town in Louisiana, you brown the flour in the oven. This technique provides a deep, nutty flavor without the fat.
Tomato-Basil SoupMake a quick version of the classic soup for a refreshingly light supper. Toasted French bread topped with a light Boursin cheese adds great flavor to the meal and is a tasty stand-in for the standard grilled cheese sandwich.
Brunswick Stew with Smoked PaprikaThis recipe is said to have originated in Brunswick County, Virginia, in the 1800s. We spiced it up with a little smoked Spanish paprika (available at gourmet specialty stores and some supermarkets). Use rotisserie chicken to speed up preparation. The strong, smoky flavors in this dish pair well with Champagne or sparkling wine. It's a delicious combination that could become a regular autumn weeknight treat.
Cheddar Chicken ChowderTo cut back on prep time, buy skinned, boned chicken breasts and preshredded cheese. This soup will be an instant satisfying, and guilt-free favorite.
Garden Minestrone

An adaptation of the classic Italian minestra, this recipe is full of late-summer produce: tomatoes, squash, fresh spinach, corn, and carrots. In cooler months, use peeled acorn squash and Swiss chard in place of squash and spinach. We love this soup for its practicality, since it's convenient for lunch or a simple dinner (just serve it with a tossed green salad and some crusty bread).
Chilled Corn Bisque with Basil, Avocado, and CrabAllow soup to stand 30 minutes at room temperature before serving. The flavor will come through better if you take the chill off. Slice your basil and chop the avocado just before serving so it doesn't begin to brown.
View Recipe: Chilled Corn Bisque with Basil, Avocado, and Crab
White Bean and Sausage Ragout with Tomatoes Kale and ZucchiniChock-full of vegetables, this one-pot ragout—a thick, well-seasoned stew—warms up a chilly winter evening. If you've never had kale, this dish makes the most of its sweet, earthy flavor.

Tuscan Chicken, Bean, and Spinach Soup
"This is a complete meal containing very little fat and loads of fiber and flavor," said reader and recipe developer, Charlene Chambers. "A truly guilt-free dinner."
Healthy Cuban Black Bean Soup RecipeInspired by his Cuban mother's black bean soup, Chef Douglas Rodriguez of DeLaCosta restaurant in Chicago developed the robust flavor in this recipe for people who didn't have money to spend on meat for stock. Here we use both fresh and dried oregano because each imparts a different flavor to the final dish.

The nightmare seemed to be repeating itself.
Jennifer and Jason Curry watched helplessly as doctors staged a frantic attempt to revive their son, Sammy. He had suddenly stopped breathing, turning a dark gray as his heart gave out.
Just two years earlier, they lost their second son, Logan, to a rapidly destructive disease. They prayed with everything they had to prevent that from happening again.
"We've buried a child before," Jennifer Curry said. "I couldn't handle that happening again."
Sammy survived, but the ordeal has changed his life and that of his family forever. The Greenwood family has become advocates to raise awareness of congenital heart defects. Using social media, the Currys have tried to spread their story so parents know how to detect a heart defect in their child, even before birth.
They want to make it known that heart disease doesn't just strike older adults but can wreak havoc on newborns as well.
"We had no idea what having a congenital heart defect meant. If I had known what I know now when I was pregnant, I would have been better prepared to approach it," Jennifer Curry said. "We hear that heart problems are just for older people and for women. But our babies are dealing with this too."
Sitting on his mother's lap, Sammy bounced excitedly up and down.
He has the brain function of a 3-month-old baby, a result of the loss of oxygen that occurred after surgery on his damaged heart. He can't sit up by himself yet and has only started rolling side to side.
But the moments of magic that Jason and Jennifer Curry realize far outweigh the struggles. He loves a camera, mugging and smiling whenever anyone points one at him.
Sammy has started babbling, managing to say, "dadada" and "mamama."
'They know us at Riley'
Having another child wasn't part of the plan for Jennifer Curry, 30, or Jason Curry, 36. Logan, had died in 2011 at 4 weeks old. He had inexplicably started suffering seizures and a stroke, damaging his brain and eventually leading to his death.
The thought of another pregnancy was too painful, Jennifer Curry said. But they acknowledge that God had other plans with Sammy. He was born at 36 weeks, and though he was premature, he appeared to be healthy.
Doctors detected a slight murmur upon listening to his chest and ordered an ultrasound. The scan from Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health revealed that Sammy's heart was severely malformed.
Once again, they were in the hospital, scared for the life of their son.
"They know us at Riley a little bit too well," Jason Curry said.
The condition was called Tetralogy of Fallot. His heart had a hole in it, meaning that blood that had yet to be enriched with oxygen mixed with enriched blood.
On one side of his heart one of his arteries is too narrow, which also impedes oxygen flow.
"We noticed he was blue all the time. Around his mouth, he always looked blue. He wasn't getting the oxygen he needed," Jennifer Curry said.
Because Sammy's body was only delivering about 78 percent of the oxygen a normal infant would get, his cardiologist, Dr. Robert Darragh, recommended implanting a shunt that would ease the transport of blood to
his lungs.
The shunt would be a temporary fix, until Sammy was strong enough to get the first of numerous surgeries to fix his heart defects.
The surgery to start permanently repairing Sammy's heart defect was scheduled for July. The surgery was intensive, scheduled to last up to nine hours, Darragh said.
This would be the first of at least three operations on the heart. But research had shown that children who get the surgery can live a long and normal life, Darragh said.
'Everyone rushed in'
Sammy came through the initial operation without any complications. He was in very good condition in the hours afterward, so much so that nurses took the breathing tube out and let him breath on his own, Darragh said.
The next day, though, brought any hopes crashing down. Sammy was still doing well when his mother fed him, and he was so hungry that doctors suggested giving him a bottle of formula an hour later.
Jennifer Curry looked away for a moment, and all of the sudden alarms started blaring.
"I looked up, and he was almost black," she said. "I just backed into a corner as doctors and everyone rushed in. I kept saying, 'I can't do this again.'"
Sammy's coronary artery has spasmed, closing the main artery to his heart and preventing blood flow, Darragh said.
Nurses gave him chest compressions and tried to restart his heart with a defibrillator. They worked for an hour, enough to get a rhythm in his heart where they could move him to the operating room.
Adrenaline kept Jennifer Curry from panicking in those initial minutes. But as she called her father to tell him the terrible news, she burst into tears.
"I lost it. The nurse had to take the phone to let him know what was happening," she said.
As nurses raced Sammy to the operating room, Jennifer Curry pushed forward. She planted a kiss on her infant son's head and whispered to him, "Buddy, you better fight. Just fight."
In what the Curry family sees as a series of small miracles, Sammy's room was right next to the operating room the surgeons needed. It had already been prepped for another patient's surgery, so all of the machines needed to save Sammy's life were ready to use.
"Everything that they needed, all of the people they needed, were right outside his room," Jason Curry said.
'Affected everything'
Surgeons put Sammy in forced sedation, stabilizing his heart so it would pump blood. They hooked him up to a device called an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine, or ECHMO. The machine pumped blood and breathed for Sammy, allowing his body to rest and heal.
When he finally came off the device after five days, doctors were convinced his heart was strong enough to support him, though they monitored him constantly.
A new concern arose, though. Sammy's brain had been without oxygen for about an hour during his cardiac arrest. Doctors wanted to see how it had affected him.
Scans showed he had suffered traumatic brain damage. He would likely never walk, never talk and would not be able to see.
"The damage was all over his brain, so it affected everything," Jennifer Curry said.
Bob Newlin, pastor at Smith Valley Baptist Church, stayed with the Curry family through much of the ordeal.
The family had started attending the church two years earlier, and Newlin helped guide them spiritually while providing them with a respite from stress of the situation.
"They had so much going on at different levels. I've tried to be a source of comfort and peace to that," Newlin said. "I would go and give them a chance to get to away from the situation. I'd stay with Sammy while they went back to the Ronald McDonald House to just rest for a short while."
Since leaving Riley Hospital for Children in August, Sammy has developed in ways his doctors never anticipated. He can see with the help of glasses, and laughs and babbles.
At 15 months old, he weighs
19 pounds.
The family visits the heart center at Riley Hospital for Children every two weeks and has routine checkups with different doctors throughout the month.
Sammy will need at least two more surgeries to further repair the heart defect. But once finished, it's rare that he would experience additional complications, Darragh said.
The residual effects from his near-death experience will linger throughout his life.
'OK to ask questions'
Sammy goes to physical therapy to help his muscles develop normally and recently started speech therapy. Because doctors are unsure how developed his speech will be, they hope to teach Sammy sign language so he can communicate better.
The family knows that most children with heart defects don't go through everything Sammy has. An overwhelming majority of children have the repair surgery and live healthy lives.
But Jennifer and Jason Curry hope to use their situation to help educate others about congenital heart defects.
They started Sammy's Angels, a Facebook page dedicated to heart defects. It started as an informational clearinghouse, where friends and family could get updates on Sammy's condition and leave their thoughts for the family. The page has grown to help distribute information they've found about defects.
Going through this and doing research on her own, Jennifer Curry has learned there are questions to ask to prepare in case your child has a heart defect. The Children's Heart Foundation shows that 40,000 babies are born each year with some kind defect.
At their 20-week ultrasound, moms-to-be should ask the doctor if the heart has all four chambers and if the blood flow is correct, Jennifer Curry said.
A simple test conducted after birth, the pulse oximeter, can reveal if the baby's oxygen level is normal.
"There is so much information that I've put on Sammy's Angels Facebook page," she said. "I want women to know that it's OK to ask questions and say no if you don't agree with something."

I am on celexa along with wellbutrin. I really like celexa. I've been on a lot of different anti-depressants in the past! I took celexa before pregnancy and had to stop while pregnant. I missed it for sure. I definitely felt the difference and I'm on a pretty low dose. I know my body and my depression, and I knew I needed something for seratonin (wellbutrin only acts on dopamine and norepinephrine.) So, I was very eager to get back on something because I was really worried about PPD.
My OB also said celexa is not recommended for bf'ing and said my options were zoloft or prozac. I had been on zoloft before and the generic version made me really itchy. The name brand is too expensive for me, so I tried prozac. Gave me horrible indigestion. So I asked my LO's pediatrician for advice and she looked up celexa and said it's fine!
The truth is, they don't really know what's okay and what's not. There aren't enough studies. They just have to go by what is known. It's a little scary but our babies need us to be at our best.
I feel so much better on the celexa! Like I said, I've been on lots of different meds and have always had side effects, including weight gain. I have never had a single side effect from celexa! I recommend it!

Oh, I also recommend starting at the lowest dose possible and trying to get by on as small a dose as you can. My pharmacist said that makes a big difference as far as how much medication makes its way to baby. Good luck! I hope you feel better, whatever you decide.

Hi. I'm sorry you are coping with PPD/PPA. I had anxiety after my first LO and it fortunately waent away after I started sleeping more. No experience with Celexa but just wanted to recommend Birthing From Within. I remember from some of your previous posts your birth experience wasn't at all what you had planned. That book, by Pam England is wonderful for preparing for childbirth or coping with a painful childbirth. It was an interesting read with lots of ideas to cope on your own, via journal writing, or drawing, with your birth experience. It's a little "hippie" at times but a good read and may help you cope if part of your PPD/PPA is secondary to your birth experience. If not, please ignore this

Police and wildlife officers were called to Sanford on Sunday to search for a monkey on the loose, officials said.
The pet Rhesus macaque escaped from an enclosure at a home on Sugar Maple Court on Sunday afternoon, officials said, apparently after untwisting some wire ties.
The macaque was at large in the community until Sunday evening, when its owner Jeff K. Jacques, who had been out of town, returned home. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman Joy Hill said the monkey, which had evaded trappers for much of the afternoon, returned to its owner after he arrived.

The Colonial Administration Authority, abbreviated CAA, was an organization under the ultimate control of the Unified Earth Government.
History Edit
Over the course of the Human-Covenant war, the UNSC had largely taken over many of the responsibilities of other branches of the government. The CAA was described as "a little more resistant to the idea than the UEG and has subsequently been stripped of most of its power." It is therefore likely that the organization no longer exists in any functional capacity by 2552,[2] though the CAA Factbook was still being updated as late as 2550.[3]
Duties Edit
The CAA acted as a secondary governing body that helped the UEG govern the various colony worlds of humanity.[2] In addition, the CAA kept extensive files on every colony, world, and city under its care. The document containing these files was referred to as the CAA Factbook.[3] These files contained everything from topographic maps to the information on the materials the city sewer system was built from. The CAA provided this information to ONI special weapons teams upon request. It would be very helpful when it came to defending colonies from Covenant attack.[4]

- CAA Heavy Burden (Destroyed)
- CAA Casbah[5]
- CAA Irbid[5]
- Though most sources refer to it as Colonial Administration Authority, in Halo: Contact Harvest, the organization is referred to and known as just the "Colonial Authority", however it may have been shortened. Propaganda in Halo 3: ODST also describes a "UNSC Colonial Authority", which may indicate total absorption into the UNSC.

President Obama, at the Jan. 12 memorial for victims of the mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz, urged the nation to move beyond finger-pointing to healing, constructive conversation. How do you do that? Laura Chasin, founder of The Public Conversations Project, an organization that helps individuals, organizations, and communities converse constructively on issues of conflict, offers pointers for breaking the argument habit.
If you're wondering how financial planner Charles Failla sees the next decade of investing and beyond, consider this: Both his 3-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter are studying Mandarin. "That gives you some idea about my conviction on emerging markets," says Mr. Failla, principal at Sovereign Financial Group in New York. While the "jury is still out on the US – which has a lot of problems to fix – I am very optimistic about China and India over the next 20 years." There's plenty of advice about what investors should do for 2011. But where do financial pros suggest you put your money through 2020? Here are five themes for the new decade:
The Michael L. Printz Award is given for excellence in literature written for young adults. Dark, challenging, compelling – these are books that pack a punch even as they keep young readers turning the pages.
The collapse of Lebanon's coalition government has pushed the country, once again, to the brink of upheaval. The heavily-armed Hezbollah is furious that Prime Minister Saad Hariri is coperating with a United Nations tribunal investigating the assassination of his father Rafik. Here's what the tribunal is all about, and why Hezbollah opposes it:
A panel of weather and climate experts ranked the the Top 10 global weather and climate events of 2010. Voters considered the scope and unusualness of the event, its immediate human and economic impact, and whether it is emblematic of climate trends or variability. They voted during the first week of December, so the following weeks' extreme winter weather in Europe, which may have deserved a spot in the Top 10, received an honorable mention.
Jared Lee Loughner is accused of killing six people and wounding 14 in Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday. The apparent target of the attack was Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D), which led Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik to assert that unbalanced people are 'especially susceptible to vitriol' in our political discourse. Politics may be nasty, but Jared Lee Loughner's ideas don't seem to line up with any one group or line of thinking. Indeed, they are more often characterized as simply strange. Here's a look at five ideas believed to come from Loughner, in his words and those of the people who know him.

Almost exactly four years from the date Apple announced the original iPhone, the long-rumored Verizon iPhone has become a reality. Now Verizon customers are wondering if they should get it, and AT&T customers are wondering if they should make the switch. So, here are five reasons you should buy the Verizon iPhone and five reasons you shouldn't:
Both carriers get the iPhone 4, but the Verizon iPhone will be a little different from what AT&T customers have grown used to. Some are obvious changes, such as the switch from GSM (AT&T's network of choice) to CDMA (the technology used by Verizon). But several of the differences may come as a surprise. Click through to learn them all.
The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) of Arizona has brought renewed attention to the US 'gun culture' and gun violence – and the prevalence of guns in the country. In fact, the US has the largest number of civilian-owned guns in the world, both in raw number and relative to its total population, according to a 2007 report by Small Arms Survey, a Geneva-based project that studies small arms and armed violence. But some countries aren't too far behind the US. Below are some of the countries with the largest civilian gun ownership rates in the world.
Authorities say they believe Jared Lee Loughner, the primary suspect in Saturday's shooting in Tucson, Ariz., targeted Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) of Arizona but have not identified a motive, characterizing him as mentally unstable. The shooting followed a year in which several members of Congress have been threatened.
In 2000, then-President Bill Clinton suggested that one of the thorniest issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – the division of Jerusalem to create two capitals for two states – should be decided along demographic lines. In other words, Jewish neighborhoods would be incorporated into Israel and Arab neighborhoods would become part of the future Palestinian state. The past decade has seen a significant expansion of Jewish areas in the Arab neighborhoods closest to the Old City, which could affect how the city is divided – or prevent it from being divided at all. This has raised the ire of Palestinians, the United Nations, and others, because the expansion has taken place in a territory that Israel occupied and then unilaterally annexed – and thus the transfer of civilian populations is considered illegal under international law. Here are five of the most controversial developments:
Every 10 years, everyone in the United States gets counted – all 308,745,538 of them, according to the 2010 Census. The number of representatives in Congress, however, stays at 435. Dividing the larger number by the smaller gives the average number of people in each congressional district (now 709,760). But Americans move around a lot – for new jobs or better weather, to be closer to family, or just for the adventure. As a result, the boundaries of those congressional districts have to shift to make sure that each district has as close to the same number of people as possible. And that shifting can have important political, economic, and social consequences. That's what 'redistricting' is all about.
House Republicans swept back into power this week promising to fix how the institution functions. Speaker John Boehner called for a renewed focus on the Constitution, more openness and accountability, and resolving 'honest differences through a fair debate and vote.' Here's a look at the Republicans' first week back in charge.
If you're a fiction reader, you are going to want to pick up at least one of these early 2011 novels.
For America's jobless, the labor market is sending conflicting signals. On one hand, unemployment in December dropped to 9.4 percent, its lowest rate in 19 months, the US Department of Labor reported Friday. On the other hand, a separate Labor survey showed that the economy added only 103,000 jobs, when economists were expecting about 150,000 new nonfarm jobs. What to make of it all? In fits and starts, the economy is staging a very modest recovery, but it may take years before the nation regains the jobs it lost during the Great Recession. To find a job, many unemployed Americans may need to reenergize their own job search. Here are seven ways to do it:
Is saving more money one of your goals in 2011? It is for me! I'm excited to see so many great offers immediately in the new year. Start your year off right with these great deals from Yoplait, Friday's restaurants, Post-It Tabs, Bath & Body Works, Pampers, Hasbro toys, and (starting Sunday) CVS.

A two-player competitive discrete location model with simultaneous decisions
In this paper we will describe and study a competitive discrete location problem in which two decision-makers (players) will have to decide where to locate their own facilities, and customers will be assigned to the closest open facilities. We will consider the situation in which the players must decide simultaneously, unsure about the decisions of one another, and we will present the problem in a franchising environment. Most problems described in the literature consider sequential rather than simultaneous decisions. In a competitive environment, most problems consider that there is a set of known and already located facilities, and new facilities will have to be located, competing with the existing ones. In the presence of more than one decision-maker, most problems found in the literature belong to the class of Stackelberg location problems, where one decision-maker, the leader, locates first and then the other decision-maker, the follower, locates second, knowing the decisions made by the first. These types of problems are sequential and differ significantly from the problem tackled in this paper, where we explicitly consider simultaneous, non-cooperative discrete location decisions. We describe the problem and its context, propose some mathematical formulations and present an algorithmic approach that was developed to find Nash equilibria. Some computational tests were performed that allowed us to better understand some of the features of the problem and the associated Nash equilibria. Among other results, we conclude that worsening the situation of a player tends to benefit the other player, and that the inefficiency of Nash equilibria tends to increase with the level of competition.

You're More Likely To Have Leprosy Than You Know (And That's Okay)
Leprosy is not a disease of the past. Nor is it particularly rare. It's one of the many diseases we get without ever knowing we have them . . . most of the time.
Leprosy is not a disease of the past. Nor is it particularly rare. It's one of the many diseases we get without ever knowing we have them . . . most of the time.
Bovine tuberculosis is a serious problem in many parts of the world, resulting in the culling of thousands of cattle each year and at tremendous cost. Now, Chinese scientists have produced a herd of transgenic cows that exhibit an improved ability to ward off the disease.
Buffalo live a long time, and they live together in big social groups. This makes them surprisingly good models for human diseases. When researchers treated one malady in buffalo, they discovered a surprising downside — they made them worse, but in a totally different way.
Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases on the planet: about a third of the current global population has had TB. It's also one of the most deadly. Left untreated, it kills about half of all those it infects. Now it seems the disease could date back to humanity's origins in Africa.
Science marches on, improving over time. We know that. It's still weird to watch it improve, and realize that you now come from an era of outdated science.
Remember how your cat was waging a long-con, biological war on you? And then — with suspicious abruptness — it wasn't waging war on you anymore and you were like, "But I could have sworn..." uneasily returning to your household chores with a creeping feeling that your cat hadn't abandoned its murderous plans? Well,…
When the human body becomes infected with particularly severe forms of diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy, its immune response is to produce lots of interferon-beta, a virus-destroying protein. There's just one problem. Those diseases are bacteria, not viruses.

Gluten-free, guilt-free decadent chocolate brownies
Gluten-free, guilt-free decadent chocolate brownies
Dairy-free and gluten-free never tasted so good! These moist, delicious brownies are sure to be a welcome addition to any cuppa.
- 85g Eskal Noble Choice Dairy Free Dark Chocolate
- 75g Nuttelex (non-dairy butter alternative)
- 3 free range eggs
- 275g golden caster sugar
- 85g gluten free flour
- 40g pure cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 45g Eskal Noble Choice Dairy Free Dark Chocolate (chopped for topping)
- Pre-heat oven to 180C or 160C fan-forced.
- In a double boiler, gently melt 85g Eskal Dairy Free Dark Chocolate with the Nuttelex. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate large stainless steel bowl, using an upright mixer or hand-held beater, whisk the eggs and golden caster sugar together until doubled in size. The mixture will appear to be a pale golden colour. Have patience as this may take anywhere from 3-8 minutes depending on your equipment.
- In three parts, fold your melted chocolate and butter into the egg and sugar mixture. Then sift the gluten free flour, cocoa powder and salt, fold in until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Line a 10cm x 14cm cookie tray with baking paper. Pour in the brownie mixture and spread evenly. The trick to this light, rich brownie is baking it thinner than traditional size. Cover with chopped Eskal Dark Chocolate pieces.
- Place tray on middle rack in pre-heated oven. Bake for 20 minutes; gently shake the tray to see if the middle 'wobbles'. If yes, bake for another 5 minutes. Check again; it should be soft to the touch and just hold its shape when the tray is moved. Allow to cool completely before removing from tray. When ready, cut into desired shapes with a clean, sharp knife.
- Gluten-free flour is now available at supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths.
- Check the ingredients of the cocoa powder to make sure it is pure cocoa that is not mixed with flour. Or alternatively, try using carob powder, which is grown here in Australia and contains no caffeine.

Report: Jimmy Savile targeted vulnerable for abuse
nepal Patients in hospital beds; star-struck teenagers in a TV show audience; pupils at a school for troubled girls; a 10-year-old autograph hunter.
All fell victim to the late British entertainer Jimmy Savile, police said, describing him Friday as a sexual predator who used his fame to find victims and deliberately targeted individuals who would not speak out against him.
A three-month police investigation yielded a staggering litany of sexual crimes: 214 offenses, including 34 rapes, over more than half a century, the majority of the victims under 18. Police say they expect the number of offenses to rise as more allegations are investigated.
A police report published Friday describes a "prolific, predatory sex offender" whose celebrity unlocked the doors of institutions across Britain, from hospitals where he served as a charity fundraiser to schools whose pupils eagerly watched his television programs - and even to the prime minister's country house, where he dined with Margaret Thatcher.
"It could be said that he groomed a nation," said Cmdr. Peter Spindler, head of the Metropolitan Police specialist crimes unit. "He was hiding in plain sight, but none of us were able to do anything about it."
The catalog of abuse provides the fullest accounting yet of the allegations against Savile, a cigar-chomping, platinum-haired TV and radio personality who died in October 2011 at age 84. Savile's elaborate funeral reflected his status as a popular entertainer and tireless charity worker, but a documentary broadcast late last year pulled the mask away, claiming that he was a serial sex offender who traded on his celebrity to prey on vulnerable children.
The subsequent police investigation more than bore out those allegations. Detectives initially believed there were between 20 and 25 victims. So far, 450 have come forward with claims against Savile - a scale of abuse police called "unprecedented in the U.K."
Child welfare experts say Savile's fame helped him achieve that grim distinction.
"Savile cunningly built his entire life around gaining access to vulnerable children," said Peter Watt of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
Savile set himself up as a sinister Pied Piper; children came to him. He hosted the long-running BBC music show "Top of the Pops," which saw everyone from the Rolling Stones to the Sex Pistols perform before an audience of excited young people. Police say victims were assaulted in dressing rooms or groped during filming breaks. One victim was a teenager who said she was assaulted at the last-ever recording of the show in 2006, when Savile was nearly 80.
Savile also hosted "Jim'll Fix It," a BBC TV show on which he granted the wishes of young viewers who wrote in with cherished plans. Police said Savile would sometimes visit the letter-writers' schools, and some of the offenses took place there.
"He could do anything he wanted," said Detective Supt. David Gray, who led the police investigation. "He could turn up at a school and say `Is anyone interested in meeting me?'"
He often visited a school for troubled girls, where pupils were allegedly offered cigarettes and trips in Savile's car in return for sex. The flamboyant star often drove a convertible Rolls-Royce.
"He only picked on the most vulnerable," Gray said. "He was clever enough to know the ones less likely to speak out against him."
Savile also was a fundraiser for hospitals, including Leeds General Infirmary in his northern England home town and the Stoke Mandeville spinal injuries center in southern England. Police said he committed 50 assaults at 14 medical establishments, including a cancer hospice and several psychiatric hospitals. Among his victims were ill youngsters confined to bed.

Biotage has announced the launch of an updated version of its Isolera™ Spektra software with improvements to the time and solvent saving step gradient optimization feature.
The updated software uses TLC data from 2 to 10 different TLC runs to estimate where the individual sample components will elute, the percentage of strong solvent required and which cartridge is best capable of purifying the amount of sample to be purified.
This patent-pending technology helps chemists to tailor the purification to separate and purify between one and six compounds in the sample or even target one specific compound of interest, which can reduce purification costs 60% or more over conventional, non-compound specific linear gradients.
Furthermore, the simplicity of the software makes it easy for even the most inexperienced users to take advantage of sophisticated purification strategies.
"The launch of the Biotage® Isolera™ Spektra in 2012 was a revolution in flash purification, moving 1-dimensional flash into 2D and 3D with a purification system capable of targeting specific compounds in complex mixtures, and even detecting the presence of normally invisible impurities beneath peaks of interest. It has and will continue to positively change the way we think about flash purification" says Dr. Sunil Rana, Product Manager, Biotage®.
Dr. Rana continued, "This latest update extends the step-gradient application range to include the new high capacity Biotage® SNAP Ultra and Biotage ZIP® Sphere cartridges."

Hi Andy, I am curious how you intend to get the container on the trailer.
good question..you dont have a sky track or front end loader we can use..i can operate it if you can get it there.
I don't have anything like that out on that property. I do have some large logs and some steel beams that will span the with and some large logs. It can be jacked up using bottle jacks andd rested on the logs, you could then back the trailer under it then it could be lowered by jacks down onto the trailer. That's how it was put in place. I just don't have the jacks large enough to do it. I think it would take a mimimum of 2 4 ton jacks. Does that sound doable, or do you have another idea?
The beams are pictured in the 2nd picture.
well joe i dont have no jacks big enough for that but im going to make a few calls and see what i can come up with so we can make this happen.

The Exit door is opening....
Alexander Hleb........Out injured for much of his time.
David Bentley...Only played well for a few minutes in ganmes he featured in . Inconsistant.
Obafemi Martins...Not played since Wigan away,,,will always be remembered for the winner at Wembley, when the truth is, that is all he accomplished.
Matt Derbyshire...never given a run of games to prove himself. If he had started half the games given to Jerome, maybe we would have got two more points and a couple of goals out of him.
Kevin Phillips.........See above comment, ref: Derbyshire.
I personally blame Mcleish. We won the league Cup in spite of Mcleish, not because of him.....and I also blame Mcleish for putting too much faith in Jerome.
No, we shouldnt have gone down Roy...the blame is all Mcleish's.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Alex McLeish blamed everyone and everything apart from the actual person… Himself.
Some of his tactics were so negative, even at home; his belief in Jerome should have had the men in white jackets taking him in custody.
We new that the loaned and out of contract players were going but it brings me to an old argument.
Any players from a relegated team are allowed to leave and join another premier club, I would prefer it if they were made to stay on a reduced contract until the January window, if they insist on leaving then they should not be allowed to join another premiership team.
The close season should be interesting, we are better off than West Ham or Blackpool since we can offer European football and will still get some TV monies from the games we play.

Wanted to know the following:
- How do you determine if you need a new theme for a WP site?
- Do various themes have different functionality?
- Reason for the question is I'm not an expert on WP or even
know much at all...My WP theme that I use now has some
concerns with plugins that I have
- Last question is if I'm not using or have some of my plugins
deactivated, should I delete them or keep them deactivated
Thanks and I'm lost on this....Ken

Briefly: Everyone needs to go read Wickard v. FilburnMonday, August 26th, 2013
The 9th circuit has decided that federal laws can indeed apply to guns that never leave their state of origin. Though it wasn't cited in this particular decision, this outcome (and that of any subsequent appeal) was inevitable because of the Wickard v. Filburn decision seventy years ago. Long story short, if you are buying goods that originate within your state then you are necessarily not buying those goods from another state, which has an effect on the market for those goods and thus affects interstate commerce. Go read it, and despair.


text: From the Fool's Alyce Lomax:Buckle's a solid stock idea, and the price got even better today. As the recession took hold, Buckle performed very well operationally, obviously resonating with teen customers, yet its price-to-earnings multiple has long been low compared to struggling peers like Abercrombie.Today's major dip in Buckle's price represents a great buying opportunity; Abercrombie was already way overpriced before it actually showed signs of life on its top line, and personally, I wouldn't touch that stock with a 10-foot pole right now. Abercrombie trades at 37 times forward earnings; Buckle trades at just 11 times forward earnings. Given the operational performance of both over the last year or two, it's a no-brainer that Buckle still looks like the better buy.

Chipley –
The Mahan Drive and Champagne Drive intersection closure has been extended through Monday, February 21 due to heavy rainfall during the first week of the closure. The closure is needed to allow the contractor to complete intersection and utility work. Motorists are being detoured from US 90 / Mahan Drive to Edenfield Drive via Miccosukee Drive.
A temporary closure of Edenfield Road at US 90 / Mahan Drive will be in effect from 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 1 through 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 29 to complete drainage improvements at the intersection. The work is part of the US 90 widening Project currently under construction. During this closure period, westbound traffic on Mahan Drive will be detoured via Dempsey Mayo Road and Miccosukee Road to Edenfield Road.
Additionally, motorists can expect possible delays on US 90 / Mahan Drive from Vineyard Way to Arendell Way while the contractor widens the roadway. Delays can be expected from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday, February 21 through Friday, February 25. One eastbound and one westbound lane will be open at all times. Drivers are encouraged to use extreme caution while traveling through the construction zone, traffic flaggers will direct traffic.

Move Grows to Clip Special Counsels' Reach Nonpartisan Commission Calls for Narrowing Independent Counsel Law
James N. Thurman, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
The independent counsel law was never meant to create a zealous office of prosecutors, boring away interminably at executive branch oversight.
By nature, the process of vigorously scouring the actions of those covered by the law - the president and 48 other officials - is a contentious, often ugly one.
Even more than claims that independent counsels like Kenneth Starr and Donald Smaltz are overzealous, a nonpartisan commission report finds the statute to be dangerously tilting the balance of power between the president and Congress. Observers say it's the first salvo in the soon-to-heat-up debate over whether to abolish or amend the independent counsel law as its five year renewal period nears. As the United States emerges from an era fraught with scandal allegations and epic investigations, an avalanche of scholarship and public opinion on how to best provide executive oversight is expected once Congress settles the impeachment matter. Commission findings Those getting an early start on the debate are not mincing words. "Terminate the statute," says Kenneth Thompson, who served as commission coordinator for a who's who of legal and political figures examining the statute. The blue-ribbon panel also includes former Sen. Howard Baker (R) of Tennessee, who served as chief of staff to President Ronald Reagan; Griffin Bell, attorney general during the Carter administration; and William Barr, his counterpart in the Bush administration. Conducting its work at the Miller Center at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, the commission recommends replacing the current statute with narrower law. "It's a no man's land in terms of the Constitution," Mr. Thompson says of the statute. In the report, Mr. Baker suggests the oversight function be limited only to the president, vice president, and attorney general. It would be up to the attorney general to name outside counsel and the Justice Department to investigate charges of wrongdoing. Judge Bell also criticizes the statute's mandate of filing a final report detailing the investigation and explaining expenses. But Bell believes the lengthy reports "can suggest guilt," even if there is no indictment in a case. Espy acquittal fuels debate The need to address the issue was buttressed again last week with the overwhelming exoneration of Mike Espy. The former Agriculture secretary was cleared of all 30 counts brought against him by independent counsel Smaltz. Smaltz spent $17 million prosecuting Mr. Espy for his acceptance of gratuities, such as football and air tickets, from entities his department regulated. Smaltz's recent comments regarding the Espy case, that "the actual indictment of a public official may in fact be as great a deterrent as a conviction of that official," added to the zealous image earned by independent counsels. …
