ROCKVILLE, MD, March 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) History Associates, the leading U.S. historical research firm, announces that the history of Blount Fine Foods has been published. From Sea to Soup, written by Dr. Kenneth D. Durr, tells the story of how a World War II-era shellfish processing company evolved to become a producer of gourmet seafood soups.
This history comes at a pivotal time at the company, as it has recently begun producing high-end prepared foods exclusively, after a 50-year heritage of processing clams. "I've often said that it is our ability to embrace change in the market that will define our success," noted Todd Blount, president of Blount Fine Foods. "History Associates has captured that essence wonderfully throughout this book, illustrating the long tradition of commitment to quality, customers, and innovation that have kept us on this course."
Dr. Durr is an accomplished historian who has published numerous business histories. To prepare the book, he interviewed key members of the company and conducted exhaustive documentary research at Blount's Fall River, Massachusetts, headquarters as well as the Rhode Island Historical Society, Providence Public Library, the Library of Congress, and the National Archives. He also toured the company's headquarters and the original plant in Warren, Rhode Island.
The final, 68-page hardbound book is just part of the company's ongoing commitment to preserving and sharing its legacy. History Associates is also assisting Blount Fine Foods with the development of a historical time line exhibit that will be displayed at the company's headquarters.

Scientists study human diseases in flies
2012-03-13
Chicago, IL – March 10, 2012 -- More than two-thirds of human genes have counterparts in the well-studied fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, so although it may seem that humans don't have much in common with flies, the correspondence of our genetic instructions is astonishing. In fact, there are hundreds of inherited diseases in humans that have Drosophila counterparts.
At the ongoing Genetics Society of America's 53rd Annual Drosophila Research Conference in Chicago, several scientific investigators shared their knowledge of some of these diseases, including ataxia-telangiectasia ...
UCLA scientists find insulin, nutrition prevent blood stem cell differentiation in fruit flies
2012-03-13
UCLA stem cell researchers have shown that insulin and nutrition keep blood stem cells from differentiating into mature blood cells in Drosophila, the common fruit fly, a finding that has implications for studying inflammatory response and blood development in response to dietary changes in humans.
Keeping blood stem cells, or progenitor cells, from differentiating into blood cells is important as they are needed to create the blood supply for the adult fruit fly.
The study found that the blood stem cells are receiving systemic signals from insulin and nutritional ...
Sending out an SOS: How telomeres incriminate cells that can't divide
2012-03-13
LA JOLLA, CA----The well-being of living cells requires specialized squads of proteins that maintain order. Degraders chew up worn-out proteins, recyclers wrap up damaged organelles, and-most importantly-DNA repair crews restitch anything that resembles a broken chromosome. If repair is impossible, the crew foreman calls in executioners to annihilate a cell. As unsavory as this last bunch sounds, failure to summon them is one aspect of what makes a cancer cell a cancer cell.
A recent study from scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies showed exactly how ...

Why do we see the man in the moon?
2012-03-13
There's something poetic about gazing up at the night sky, seeing the familiar face of the "Man in the Moon" who faithfully accompanies us through life. The synchronous rotation of the Moon taking the same amount of time to spin around its own axis as it does to revolve around Earth is what causes the Moon to "lock eyes" with Earth, resulting in one of its hemispheres constantly facing us. But is there a reason why this particular half of the Moon locked with Earth, or was it pure coincidence that it didn't "turn its back" on us?
Through careful analysis and simulations, ...
US citizenship may be determined at random
2012-03-13
The fate of nearly half a million immigrants hoping for U.S. citizenship may have been determined randomly, at least in part, according to a new study by a Michigan State University researcher who found the high-stakes civics test isn't a reliable measure of civics knowledge.
To be awarded citizenship, immigrants must correctly answer six of 10 questions on the verbally administered civics portion of the U.S. Naturalization Test, said Paula Winke, assistant professor of second language studies.
Questions are randomly selected by an immigration officer from a pool of ...
