A reminder that you must be registered with CPS volunteer program to help in the classroom.
If you have older kids, you have already gone through this chaos.
like accelerating through warp drive.
The water cycle still thrills me!
It thrills me to teach it.
Why don't the oceans overflow?
(Break: Do you believe this story?
and unique works of art for all our 2nd grade kids.
And sometimes tragedy (all beads, carefully placed on string, then bouncing randomly on the classroom floor).
We could use up to 30 volunteers for each class (just kidding).
Don't forget to purchase your copy of "The Fight Between Quiet and Noise"
and a few extra for friends. We have been able to donate $650 so far to the Ecology program.
I've finally scheduled the Recycling Luncheon, after being stopped by innumerable small re-cycling elves, asking about it, and slowly losing faith. So on Thursday, December 13, from 12:00 until 1:00, I will host ONLY the 8th graders, in the Conference Room. They will be out of the school on Friday, and would thus, otherwise, miss the treat.
On Friday, December 14, all the other Recycling Captains will have lunch in the Conference Room during their regular lunch time. We will start setting up and prepping at 10:00: salad, fruit, juice, and such. If anyone could make the two runs for pizza (at 11:00 and 12:00) I would be very grateful.
Let me know if you can help, and witness this charming little get together. I will share with the students the feedback they received from their teachers.
After our Riverbank workday this past Saturday, I was walking the bank with neighbor Nancy, and we spotted, on the other side, a small mammal slinking through the dry grasses. At first we thought it was a cat. But it lacked a furry tail. It was, we thought, too white for a possum. Nancy went on her way, and I, intrigued, followed the creature's path from my side, until it revealed itself clearly on a log at the river's edge: a possum, sure enough, with prehensile tail, pretty pink snout, and black tipped, frost nipped ears. I'm fond of this amazing creature, and I looked up an article I wrote about it for the Chicago Reader, many years ago. Hope you like it.

Q: What is advantage and disadvantage of implementing single user session? Before posting this question I searched and found that lot of questions were asked on "how to implement single user session" in different tools or frameworks.
But my question is why should we implement single user sessions?
I discussed with some friends and did some research on Google and I could find two reasons:
1. Some applications can potentially maintain "user working state" of a user, so if they allow more than one sessions then it can mess up the "user working state".
2. Some tools/applications need this for implementing licensing. Because the license allows only fixed number of users so implementing "single user session" will prevent the misuse.
Both of the above points are not related to security. Is there any other reason why it is considered a good security practice?
Thanks,
Manish

A: From a security point of view, single user sessions can help a user detect that their account is being used elsewhere. For example, upon logon if a user receives a message that their account is already logged on at another location, they will be alerted to the fact that their  credentials have been compromised and that they should perhaps change their password.
Apart from that, I can only think of it being a good security mechanism to protect content (i.e. licensing that you covered in point (2)). However, there may be a secondary advantage to preventing multiple logons per account - users are less likely to share their credentials with other users if the account cannot be used simultaneously. Therefore their account details are likely to be kept more secure as the details have not been emailed to friends or colleagues.

She is a princess with the strength of a warrior. Princess Diya Kumari, born in the illustrious august family of Jaipur, is one of the most proficient women of modern India. With marvelous adroitness she manages her copious business ventures, school, museums and NGOs, while enshrining a large part of her time to developing her constituency of Sawai Madhopur (a large area including Sawai Madhopur City and vast stretches of backward rural areas, along with the Ranthambore National Forest and Tiger Reserve) as an elected Member of the Legislative Assembly of Rajasthan. She was born on 30th January 1971 as the only child of H.H. Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh and H.H. Maharani Padmini Devi of Jaipur. Young Princess Diya grew up seeing how a once opulent royal palace, an imperial abode, could become efficiently managed and be given a new intendment with the general public in mind. That was the role that she was to accede to in the future. She studied at the Modern School, New Delhi, and at Maharani Gayatri Devi School for Girls in Jaipur, and later did a decorative arts course in London. Princess Diya Kumari is married to Maharaj Narendra Singh and they are blessed with three children. In addition to being a doting mother of three children, she is a Secretary of two Trusts, namely the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum Trust, the City Palace, and the Jaigarh Charitable Trust, Jaigarh Fort, Amber. She steers both with vision and fortitude. Other family businesses which entail the Princess' attention include the ownership and running of two hotels, the Rajmahal Palace in Jaipur, and Jaipur House in Mt. Abu. She manages the Durga Diya Enterprises, the Palace Cafe, and also looks into the management of the Ashok Club, one of the most elite clubs in the country. She also runs two highly prestigious educational institutes of Jaipur – The Palace School and The Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh School. She takes a personal interest in managing both the institutes as she feels that education plays a vital role in transforming both individual lives and society as a whole. Princess Diya instituted the Young Achiever in Education award in her name to hearten the youth to outshine in the field of academics. This award is given during the annual award ceremony organised now in the reminiscence of her father the Late Brig. HH Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh of Jaipur. A connoisseur of art and culture, Princess Diya Kumari takes a dynamic part in promoting traditional arts, music and dance. She is actively involved in the 'Friends of Museum', started by her father His Late Highness Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh of Jaipur. Her main focus is to promote the dying arts of Jaipur and support craftsmen linked with it. Various fairs and festivals are organised within and outside the city to provide an avenue to these craftsmen to exhibit their skills and sell their products directly to the customer. Gunijankhana meaning 'a place for people with values' was a 17th Century tradition of the Royal Family of Jaipur to endow with a forum for encouraging singers, musicians and dancers to demonstrate their arts. This tradition became defunct in 1949. Princess Diya Kumari revived this royal tradition in 2013. Princess Diya Kumari has been enthusiastically associated with several NGOs and organisations involved in charity and social works. She is involved with the Eye Bank Society of Rajasthan and is also the patron of Rays, an NGO working for HIV+ children. She also monitors the working of Sawai Man Singh Prathmik Chikitsalaya, which aims to provide good medical attention to the common man and to distribute complimentary allopathic medicines to the deprived. In 2013 she established the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation (www.pdkf.org) with an objective of empowering women through Vocational training, education, and livelihood generation. Needy women, in particular, are being taught various artisanal, handicraft and agricultural skills to make them self-reliant, and to help link their products to the market. Also in 2013, on the assurance of good governance and inclusive development, she was elected a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Rajasthan from Sawai Madhopur, a town that had been founded by her ancestor Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh Ji. In 2014 she was appointed Rajasthan State Government's Ambassador for the "Save the Girl Child" campaign and was awarded the YFLO Women Achievers Award in Politics by the Young FICCI Ladies Organization(YFLO), New Delhi. Most recently in January 2017, Princess Diya Kumari was conferred upon an Honorary Doctorate Award by the Amity University in Jaipur in the identification of her mammoth contribution and impact in the field of benevolence and playing a lead role in family heritage.

Complete Recap and Spoilers of How I Met Your Mother Season Finale – The Leap
May 19, 2009 / Guillermo Paz
In another great and funny episode of How I Met Your Mother, we had lots of fun, and here with a bunch of How I Met Your Mother Spoilers… and also, remeber the great news that How I Met Your Mother gets renewed for a fifth season
Ted was still working on his restaurant shaped like a cowboy hat. For three days, he worked and got nowhere. Barney walked in and asked Ted what he thought of Robin, and hinted at Ted that he wanted to go out with Robin, comparing her to a suit that Ted once tried on but put back on the rack and Barney now wanted to purchase.
"Buy the suit, Barney," Ted said.
It was Ted's 31st birthday and Marshall wanted him to come to the roof and have a beer. Ted was suspicious there was a surprise party. Marshall tried to play it off as though there wasn't a party, but there was. Marshall felt bad and walked toward the ledge.
Old Ted gave some background: The guys were up on the roof once, admiring the neighbor's rooftop hot tub and Marshall walked to the ledge and dared to jump over to the neighbor's roof. He didn't.
Back to Ted's surprise party, Marshall decided he was going to jump but Lily wouldn't let him. Inside the apartment, Ted was working when the goat walked by and caught Ted's attention. Back on the roof, Lily talked Marshall down from the ledge by telling him she was pregnant. He got down and couldn't believe it. "I mean, I noticed that you'd gained some weight lately, but…" She cut him off and said she was lying, then told him, "Go ahead and jump — I hope you die!"
Barney turned to Robin and said there was something he had to tell her. Meanwhile, inside, Ted went into the kitchen to investigate a noise. Back on the roof, Robin jumped ahead of Barney and said she thought she might be falling in love with him. Back inside the apartment, Ted saw the goat and freaked out.
Ted called Lily, who was on the roof, and told her the goat was in the kitchen looking at him. Ted recalled some of the goat story, in which Lily brought the goat home from a farmer who talked to her class and told them what he was going to do with the goat later. Lily took the goat and brought it home.
Barney told Lily that after Robin said she thought she was in love with him, he told her they should just be friends and told Lily that he was no longer in love with Robin. Inside the apartment, Ted was house-training the goat, which kept wanting to chew on a wash cloth.
On the roof, Marshall was still trying to convince himself to jump, but didn't do it. Barney introduced Lily to a girl who was just off the bus from Iowa. Lily said she spilled the beans.
Lily explained that Robin overheard Barney telling Ted about his interest in Robin. Robin decided she had to tell Barney no. Marshall advised Robin that she could try "The Mosby" — revealing one's love too soon. Lily explained all this to Barney.
Inside, Ted was looking for the goat, which had locked itself in the bathroom and was chewing on the washcloth. Ted took it away and the goat charged him.
Lily again talked Marshall off the ledge to go inside and get Ted. Marshall went in to find the goat standing over Ted, who couldn't move, and asked to be taken to the hospital. Ted had a hoof mark on his forehead and laid in a hospital bed. Ted took off to finish his restaurant design.
Barney told Robin that Lily told him about Robin's plan to get rid of Barney. He told her he hoped she felt the way he did. she wondered if maybe she did. Then she admitted, "I have feelings for you, Barney. Maybe I even love you."
He then said it was going a bit too fast and they should be friends. Barney realized she was Mosbying him again. They went back and forth until they kissed.
Ted made his presentation and the Ribtown owners showed him the mockup they decided to use — it was a classic design from Sven!
Marshall vowed to never eat ribs again — at least in front of Ted. Lily wondered if Ted was forcing the idea of being an architect. She told Ted that all of his friends weren't living the careers they thought they were headed for, and that maybe he needed to find what he wanted to do and "take the leap."
Marshall was inspired and went up to the roof and jumped over to the neighbor's rooftop. One at a time, they all made the leap — first Robin, then Barney, then Lily, then Ted, after calling it the best year of his life.
Even though he got left at the altar, knocked out by a bartender, got fired, got beat up by a girl goat, it was the best year of his life, "because if any one of those things hadn't happened, I never would've have ended up in what turned out to be the best job I ever had." He wrote his name, "Professor Mosby" on a blackboard in the front of a lecture hall, and, as Old Ted explained to the kids, he might have never met their mother. "Because, as you know, she was in that class. Of course, that's story's only just beginning."

FEW Organizes event Artificial Intelligence against the Future Challenges of Power and Utilities
Artificial Intelligence against the Future Challenges of Power and Utilities became the first event organized by Future Energy Week and brought together Digital and Technology Leads from the power & utilities companies.
Among the event's speakers were representatives of such companies as Enel, Waterloo North Hydro, PA Consulting Group, NeedEnergy and AFRY Management Consulting. Enjoy insights and key quotes here:
"We are retrieving 40 million data loads concerning the way our renewable energy plants are operating, and we use it to optimize the way we operate our assets. From our customers we are retrieving around 26 billion measurements daily. We also have around 1.6 million interactions with our customers every day on average… If we compare the amount of data we produced in 2020 with that of 2010, last year we produced thirty times more data than what we had ten years ago", says Giuseppe Amoroso, Head of Digital Strategy & Governance at Enel.
"Talking about the concept of microgrids, and also omni-directional electricity, so let's if you have got an electric car or Tesla wall batteries and you don't need what you have got, why don't you just let your neighbour use it? What had to come down from a generation station, why don't you put it back into the grid for profit? .... At a practical scale, that's not a reality yet, but it is knocking at our door", says Mark Dillon, Vice President of Information Technology at Waterloo North Hydro.
"The Utilities sector in the coming years will change to become more distributed, way smarter and way more on the edge. And I have a strong feeling that Africa will lead in that regard, given that we have millions of people without access to power which means we have the biggest energy demand. So Africa will be the place where you will see the greatest innovations in the utility space", says Leroy T Nyangani, Team Lead and a Co-founder at NeedEnergy.
"Digital infrastructure and software investments have already overtaken those of power generation itself in the energy sector globally, and in the coming years they will become even more important. Of course, AI is and will continue too be in the heart of those investments", says Hajer Ben Charrada, Consultant at AFRY Management Consulting.
"Failures of cables and terminations almost always cause extended customer outages. Electric utilities have been trying to find solutions to predict these failures, but have yet to "crack the code". There is a solution that points to these challenges", says Gregg Edeson, Partner at PA Consulting Group.

2 chime doorbell wiring diagram One of the old problems you have decided to solve is your inability in your existing home to hear the doorbells chime and then traditional 2 note ding dong door chimes in other parts of the While older transformers topped out at 8 to 16 or 20 volts these models with a top range of 24v can serve larger homes that need longer wire runs without a drop in voltage. The units permit you to A chime doorbell uses where the coiled wire surrounds a metal piston. The piston contains magnetically conductive metal so it can be moved backward or forward by the electromagnetic field. Press.
2 chime doorbell wiring diagram The doorbell is fairly simple. Theres the button itself which has a built in battery. Attach that to your desk. 2. Put the batteries in the chime. 3 read this or see the diagram below. 1. Simple doorbells included see the below left diagram to have an idea on how that might look like. Basically you have a wire going to the button contact straight from the fuse connected in the Lees doorbell uses a 10 vac supply to ring a chime. To reduce modifications to the doorbell he added an integrated rectifier and a pnp transistor. The rectifier drives the transistor when the bell.
It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. 2 Chime Doorbell Wiring Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 2 Chime Doorbell Wiring Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. 2 Chime Doorbell Wiring Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.

Netflix testing pre-roll trailers just like you get at the movies
By David Nield 2017-06-19T16:41:30.169Z Internet
In its never-ending quest to try and serve up content you might like, Netflix is experimenting with showing users pre-roll trailers for its own shows and movies before whatever it is you've queued up - so you get previews of other attractions just like you do in a real movie theater.
Spotted by Reddit users and reported at Cord Cutters News, the "previews" last 30 seconds and can be fast forwarded if you want to get to the action that you actually selected for your viewing pleasure.
As is often the case with new Netflix features, this is only being tested with a small group of users for the time being, and there's no guarantee yet that it'll ever make the grade and roll out to everyone. Still. it's an interesting glimpse into Netflix's thinking on how it might promote its own original shows some more.
Those of you with relatively long memories might remember that Netflix tried something similar a couple of years ago. That time the trailers were met with a negative reaction from users who didn't appreciate advertising on a service they'd already paid for, even if it was only for other Netflix shows.
Now, the pre-roll trailer could be back. According to the people who've seen the previews, they're showing up on the Netflix website and on dedicated devices like Roku players. They're also picked based on your previous viewing habits.
"We're experimenting with video based on personalized recommendations for shows and movies on the service or coming shortly," Netflix said in a statement. "If we don't test, we won't learn and we'll never get better, and who wants that?"
Chill, Netflix isn't introducing surge pricing

We can bear all things in this world knowing that Christ by His cross has suffered for us before we picked up our particular cross. In this our burden is that much lighter. He promises that we will suffer by our cross but after will be free of it and be so rewarded by enduring it well. For those whom you know will one day have that veil of confusing obscurity lifted and then know clarity again. But to the extreme, as they stand before the Christ who has loved them from all eternity.
As for your loving efforts on behalf of those who suffer such Christ smiles upon you.

I knew three years ago when I began making friends with other CF families that loss would eventually be a part of our friendships.
However, I didn't know it would come so soon, like with the sudden passing of my friend Jennifer Tomerlin's little boy Bryce (2.5 years old), who died yesterday after undergoing a procedure to address complications with his Cystic Fibrosis.
I haven't yet met Jennifer in person, as I haven't yet met most of the CF families I know. Jennifer's little Bryce would have been great friends with my Bennett. They were about the same age and deal with the same disease. But Cystic Fibrosis does not allow those with the disease to be with each other as the risk of cross-contamination of infection is too high. So, we knew getting to meet in person would be a long shot.
Even still, I was delighted when, several months ago, Jennifer mentioned she was coming to Waco for an event and wanted to meet up. We ended up being unable to coordinate our schedules but the delight of meeting another CF mom was thrilling. I have a long list of CF moms I would love to meet some day. Until then, we depend on Facebook posts, blog entries, phone calls and texts to stay connected.
It's important that was stay connected with other CF families. We use our CF community to find out about new treatments, medications and research studies that might benefit each of our children. But it's also important for our emotional health, especially us CF Mamas - to know other families like ours exist and to gain support through the unique challenges we face.
When you make friends with a family who has a child with a terminal illness, you take a risk. Your risk caring deeply about someone whose death you may experience at some point.
I know that, without a cure, I will continue to witness the death of the children whose the families I have come to know over time - many of them with children Bennett's age.
I was warned about this from a nurse at the hospital when Bennett was first diagnosed: Be careful making friends with CF families, you may experience the death of their children, which can be very hard on you, knowing your son will face the same fate.
But that hasn't stop me from building relationships in our CF Community. I know that if need them now, I will need them then, too. And, I believe, they need the same from me.
Even still, it was hard to swallow hearing my friend Jennifer's baby boy died yesterday. He hadn't necessarily been sick. He had gone in for a rather routine surgery and come out doing well. Suddenly, he was on his death bed - something that tends to happen more to children with underlying chronic illnesses - but something that can ultimately happen to any of us.
But I hadn't expected to begin losing our collective children so soon. I hadn't expected to walk through mourning with a mother who had just barely given birth to her child only 2.5 years ago. I hadn't expected it to happen to someone I know.
The loss of Bryce has been hard for me to process personally. It's natural that I would find myself placing my son in his place and feeling the inner pain his mother is likely feeling right now. I know what it's like to be in the hospital - to see the wires connected to my baby boy's delicate body laying limp on the bed - to hear the beeping sounds of machines that communicate whether or not his organs are functioning - to see the somber faces of doctors who know more than you at the time but who reveal through their long faces grief is ahead.
I am reminded that Bennett's life hangs in the balance, always a complication or two away from loss. But even knowing that, it's so easy to forget how quickly life can escape our bodies. We may not have a cure yet but we have treatments, medications, doctors and hospitals. Even knowing this, I can easily be lulled in believing we have time.
Surely, life can't be that tenuous. And yet, it is.
...not just for those with Cystic Fibrosis...but for all of us.
Bryce's death is another reminder for me that no one's life is guaranteed beyond this moment. My child and husband without Cystic Fibrosis are also living on borrowed time. This is why I must live presently, always aware of what exists on earth but also aware of what exists beyond this place we call home.
Natalie, I'm sorry your 3 year old suffers from this disease as well. But I appreciate your sharing how this story has affected you too. It certainly helps to know we are not alone in this fight and in our grief. Thinking of you and your family s well!
This breaks my heart. I can't even imagine her pain right now. Praying for their family and the families of all those with CF.
Do you know if there is some kind of CF mom's facebook group? I wanted to get connected with other moms and I do follow some blogs but just wondering if there was another way to stay in touch.
Amy, there is absolutely a CF mom's facebook group and it's really wonderful. It's called "CF Mamas" and can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Cfmamas/ Let me know if you have trouble getting in but it should be a matter of requesting to be a part of the closed group. I hope you will find this group as helpful as me. You might also find the website CysticLife.org to be equally helpful for connecting with other CF moms! Hope this helps!!

Venezuelan aircraft released following probe
The Venezuelan aircraft which was detained earlier this month, following an investigation by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), has been released.On Wednesday it was revealed that the investigation has been completed, and legal advice was obtained upon the submission of some necessary documents.The investigation unit involved the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU), the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), and the GCAA, along with security officials.According to the Police, the pilots and a senior official of the Venezuelan Embassy, on behalf of the foreign nationals detained, assisted and cooperated fully in theThe Venezuelan aircraft that was detained and now releasedinvestigations.The Police also revealed that the data plate was subsequently located by the investigative team on the very aircraft, and the log book was also found which indicated that the aircraft had been in operation since 2014.In addition, all outstanding documents which were required were submitted to the investigators, who later confirmed that they were authentic and confirmed by the GCAA.The Police said there consequently was no reason to further detain the aircraft, and as such, it was released.It was reported that the plane landed in Guyana at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) with a fake registration number, and the Data Plate which contained vital information was missing.Based on reports received at that time, the private chartered flight, which is suspected to be registered in Venezuela, landed on July 9 at about 15:20h.However, in keeping with security postures and intensified collaboration with the management of the various units operating at the CJIA, ranks (CANU) were alerted, and conducted a preliminary inspection of the aircraft, during which certain irregularities were discovered.Guyana Times understands that the registration number of the aircraft raised eyebrows, since another aircraft was carrying the same number. As such, the matter was reported to the CANU headquarters and orders were given for the aircraft to be detained.The Police had stated that after enquiries were made, it was revealed that the pilots and passengers were invited to Guyana by one Michael Brassington, who was at the airport to receive them.Brassington and the four passengers reported to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), while the two pilots arrived in the company of agents of CANU. Two of the passengers and the pilots were Venezuelan. read more

Carroll loves his recruits
If the Trojans lost some commitments in the past few weeks, they made up for it Wednesday when Joe McKnight of River Ridge, La., the nation's top tailback, selected USC over Louisiana State. McKnight touched the ball 82 times this season and scored 30 touchdowns. He averaged 15.5 yards per carry. Carroll compared him to Reggie Bush in his ability to catch passes out of the backfield or line up at wide receiver. "He's a tremendous athlete," Carroll said. "He can do everything, he's incredibly versatile." What's more surprising is that McKnight chose USC even though Marc Tyler of Oaks Christian and Broderick Green of Little Rock, Ark., also signed. In addition, Chauncey Washington, C.J. Gable, Emmanuel Moody, Allen Bradford, Stafon Johnson and Hershel Dennis are already on the roster. LOS ANGELES – USC made a splash on signing day, but even bigger news could be looming for the Trojans as Arkansas quarterback Mitch Mustain will visit in the next two weeks with the idea of transferring in the fall. Mustain, who started eight games for the Razorbacks, would be more than just a finishing touch on a recruiting class that was ranked No. 1 by ESPN and No. 3 by Rivals.com on Wednesday. He would probably end doubts about whether it really was the nation's top recruiting class. The 10th tailback on the team, Michael Coleman, will move to fullback. The first commitment for 2008, D.J. Shoemate, is also a tailback. "Each guy sees his uniqueness," Carroll said of the new recruits. "Broderick saw we did not have a big, physical back. Marc thinks he can do a little bit of everything. Who plays is going to be determined by the competition." Or maybe who transfers. Johnson is expected to make a decision at the end of the semester. As highly regarded as the class was by analysts, the Trojans actually lost out on two of their top targets, with wide receivers Ahmad Paige (Tennessee) and Deonte Thompson (Florida) going elsewhere. "You don't ever get everyone you want," Carroll said. Florida suddenly became a nuisance to USC, taking Thompson and convincing offensive guard James Wilson to change his commitmen. The Gators also signed quarterback Tim Tebow last year. "We were butting heads with them a lot," Carroll said. USC also made one last run at cornerback Donovan Warren of Long Beach Poly on Wednesday, but Warren stuck with his original choice of Michigan. The Trojans also hurt the Wolverines by signing wide receiver Ronald Johnson, the No. 8-ranked player in the nation by Rivals. Johnson will play the same spot as wide receiver Steve Smith, Carroll said. "He can make touchdowns from anywhere on the field," Carroll said. Another impact player is defensive end Everson Griffen, who runs a 4.5 40-yard dash and could play tailback, according to Carroll, who said he is the top prospect he's recruited since arriving at USC. "Some people think he could play in the NFL now," Carroll said. In a mild surprise, linebacker Jordan Campbell of Norco will be switched to fullback because of the Trojans' depth problems. Linebacker Chris Galippo from Servite High School of Anaheim is also considered a Top 10 player and Carroll credited him with being an unofficial recruiter. "He set the tempo and did a great job at the All-American Bowl keeping things together," Carroll said. Carroll said nearly all the freshmen will play next season, a tradition he likes to enhance at USC. "We had 16 freshmen play last season and three scored in the first game," he said. That first game was against Arkansas, where Mustain entered in the second half and played well against the Trojans. Adding to the intrigue is that his teammate, Arkansas freshman wide receiver Damian Williams, already enrolled at USC this semester. Williams will redshirt next season. "I know he's going to be a factor to help other people play well (in practice)," Carroll said. scott.wolf@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You're all set! "It looks as power-packed as any group we've had," USC coach Pete Carroll said. "We've got all kinds of big guys, tough guys, power guys. We held our own. It's a highly regarded class. "Of the 17 we signed, 14 can make an immediate impact." read more

Chi-Mex: Mexican Food in Chicago
By Rick Bayless | Published Jul 11, 2001 8:00 AM
As day breaks on Sunday morning over downtown Chicago, Clementina Flores, a native of the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, stares out her 58th-floor window, watching the sun find its way through the crevices between the buildings. This conservative, middle-aged Mexican woman, born in a small, rural town, awakes each morning to a panoramic view of America's third-largest city. To the north and east, she sees the monumental Wrigley Building; then there's the lake, of course, offering up the sun's pale new promise every morning; and to the south and west rises the Sears Tower, whose shadow stretches far enough to embrace a well-defined half-mile of frenetic activity along Canal Street just south of Downtown. This is New Maxwell Street Market, where Señora Clementina often shops. For many Chicagoans, the market embodies the ingenuity and practicality for which their city is known. Confident enough to swagger through urban streets, vital enough to re-create itself with each new wave of immigration, it has proven resilient enough even to have survived a forced relocation—from which it emerged vibrantly Mexican.
By some estimates, Chicago has the nation's third-largest population of Mexican immigrants (after Los Angeles and Houston). The origins of the community date back to 1910, when Mexicans began coming to Chicago to work in the city's meatpacking, steel, and railroad industries. The Maxwell Street Market is officially almost as old, having been recognized by the city in 1912—but it evolved out of an aggregation of Italian, Greek, Czech, Bohemian, and eastern European Jewish vendors' stands and pushcarts that first gathered along Maxwell Street in the 1870s. Two waves of migration from the South, in the 1920s and again in the 1940s, added an African-American presence. There may have been Mexican merchants on Maxwell Street 70 or 80 years ago—and by the 1970s, vendors from the nearby barrio of Pilsen were selling steaming-hot tamales, fruits, and vegetables there. Five years ago, Maxwell Street Market was run out of its historic home, largely to make way for an expanding University of Illinois at Chicago campus. It reopened a week later three blocks east on Canal Street as the New Maxwell Street Market, and today, Mexican merchants are in the majority.
I like to enter the market—open only on Sundays—near the southern end, at 14th Street, and go straight to one of the best produce stalls, which in the summer and fall features locally grown vegetables: tomatoes; tomatillos; shell beans; tan-skinned pumpkins for Mexican soups, stews, and sweets; purple-tinged, three-foot stalks of huanzontle, a wild green whose seed heads are poached, battered, and fried; and a rainbow of chiles. (The piles of mean-looking cactus paddles and spiny chayotes—cousins of the smooth chayotes now common in supermarkets across the country—come from Mexico.) Regina Quezada and her family, from Guerrero, have had this space for five years now. Though she can be polished and cordial, this lively marchanta—as produce vendors are often called in Mexico—can swing into loud, hard-nosed haggling at the bat of an eye, and then calmly continue stringing up decorative clusters of freshly dug jicamas, top-on beets, and bunches of serranos on the stem, ripened to the color of fire.
Across from Señora Regina's stall, the smell of a classic Mexican broth saturates the air with the gaminess of goat and ground chile. There, vendors are assembling tacos of fork-tender birria de chivo (braised goat), wrapping the meat in floppy corn tortillas with salsa, onions, and cilantro. It's the braising broth, though, the consome, that transports the crowd. At this very moment, all over Mexico, their compatriots are participating in the same early Sunday ritual of consome de birria—elixir to the Mexican soul.
The scene so throbs with life—as many as twenty thousand people pass through the market on an average Sunday—that the Sears Tower, even the Chicago River winding along the market's east side, seem distant, blurred into soft focus. Latin music, drifting from bootleg cassettes, are the market's sound track—with lyrics like "¿Como va el mundo?" ("How's the world going?"), ironically suitable background music for huddles of men all having the same conversation: how to stretch a dollar, how to get more hours at work. Shoppers circle and swoop, making their way past heaps of chiles; around racks of First Communion dresses and warm-up suits; past stacks of duct tape, boxes of hand-rolled cigars, and hundreds of baseball caps proclaiming regional affiliations from Aguascalientes to Zacatecas and from northside to southside Chicago. One guy always shows up with hand-hammered copper cauldrons from Michoacan for making carnitas (slow-cooked pork). Many of the nonfood vendors simply lay out garage-sale paraphernalia. Or tools—loads of tools, thrown out like Pick Up Stix. Middle-aged men sort through them while their sons eye free weights hawked by youths whose bare torsos advertise the efficacy of their wares.
Geno Bahena immigrated to Chicago by himself at 16 with the same kind of hope for success that propels today's vendors at Maxwell Street Market. Now, after 16 years in the restaurant business, he's realized that hope: He's launched his own place, Ixcapuzalco, named after his hometown in Guerrero. But he gave up something by leaving Mexico as a young adult: He gave up his initiation into becoming a guardian of his own culture, on its own turf.
Four years ago, Geno's mother, Clementina Flores, arrived to help with that part of his education—to engender in him the values of rural Mexico. They make an easygoing pair: Geno, whose name is short for Generoso (generous), loves food and loves sharing it. Señora Clementina has a buoyant personality and a sudden, easy laugh. The market has become her touchstone in Chicago for the values she holds dear, including those of the traditional kitchen and family dining table. From Señora Regina, she buys hojas de milpa (corn leaves) for making flat, quick-cooking tamales nejos—Guerrero-style soul food that dates back to pre-Columbian times. From others, she picks up tomatillos, serrano chiles, and pumpkin seeds for the traditional accompaniment to those tamales: mole verde, a luscious, earthy sauce that radiates the elegant artlessness of native American cooking.
Señora Clementina made both dishes for us one Sunday afternoon after we'd left the market. Moving quietly but with the swift assurance of the best traditional cooks, she toasted the pumpkin seeds, then blended them into a beautiful, smooth puree with the tomatillos and green chiles, black pepper, and aromatic herbs—hierbas de olor—here, a classic combination of thyme, marjoram, and Mexican bay leaves. A little bit of fresh lard, melted in her earthenware cazuela, received the puree with a spattery welcome. As she thinned the mole with chicken broth to a creamy, soupy consistency, the mixer beat fresh corn masa with broth and just enough cal (calcium hydroxide) to make the raw masa "grab" the tongue, as Señora Clementina put it. With practiced dexterity she spread the thick batter over half of each corn leaf and folded the other half over it, then laid the packages in her steamer. When the pile inside reached about two inches in depth, she covered the steamer and set it over the flame. After just 20 minutes, we ate food that was about as simple and soulful as it gets: a bowl of nutty, fragrant, pale green mole, scooped up with pieces of tamal that were like thick, steamed tortillas with the softness of a plump rice-flour noodle.
Señora Clementina is an expert at bringing Mexico alive in a Chicago kitchen. But many of the market's cooks, worries chef Dudley Nieto—a native of Puebla—have been away from Mexico so long that they've lost touch with its authentic flavors. Or perhaps, he offers, they see more profit in food that appeals to second- and third-generation Mexicans, or non-Mexicans. For five years, Dudley—who's planning to open a restaurant called Chapultepec in Chicago this summer—has taken cooking groups shopping at the market. "Maxwell Street is exciting—like markets in Mexico," he says. "I love the fact that here in Chicago I can buy fresh nanches [a tart, cherry-sized fruit], aged cheese from Michoacan, and huitlacoche [corn fungus] grown by a Mexican farmer in Indiana. But the prepared foods…they're not exactly like those I was raised on."
My suspicion is that Dudley's comments have something to do with the fierce regionality of Mexican cooks—and the cooks at the market come from all over Mexico (as well as the United States, as Dudley points out). The Mexico City-style huaraches—sandal-shaped corn masa cakes, often stuffed with a puree of black beans, slathered with salsa, and showered with lots of aged cheese—sold in several places at the market are a case in point. When I bite into one, I'm ecstatically transported to a little restaurant near where I lived in Mexico's capital. They're virtually identical. For Dudley, they're overwrought, bordering on inauthentic.
One of the huarache stands also makes seviche from, of all things, lake perch—a fine-textured freshwater fish—and _that's _a stretch for me. I'm used to Veracruz-style seviche, made with meaty mackerel or kingfish. Though the market version is piled on crispy tostadas and crowned with avocado chunks the way seviche is served on the beaches in Mexico, it isn't as satisfying to me as the original, or even as satisfying as the same stall's octopus-and-shrimp cocktail or its heady, green chile-spiked seafood soup. On the other hand, one of my favorite street nibbles at the market is an empanada, a crisp fried turnover, filled with cinnamony rice pudding. And, well, I've never seen anything quite like it in the motherland; for one thing, it starts with a store-bought flour tortilla, an item not widely available in Mexico.
Many of the stalls don't have names, including my favorite, run by Gilberto Ramirez—a round-faced, fast-talking, hospitable man who beams when you compliment his food—and his wife, Maria Landa, who's quiet, neat, and has an easy, confident smile. Both are from Guerrero. Their stand is a large, tented affair with an army of cooks pressing out thick eight-inch corn tortillas on big round griddles. Their quesadillas, made with these fabulously fresh tortillas, are great. In addition to cheese, you can have them with stewed mushrooms or grilled steak, and a topknot of cilantro, lettuce, and tomatoes. The molcajetes, or stone mortars, on the counter hold one of the best table salsas in the market—made with tomatillos, garlic, lots of green chiles, and cilantro. The most distinctive dish here, though, is Señora Maria's zesty tomatillo sauce over tender braised tongue.
As I slide into a chair at a table in Señora Maria's stall, a plate of this delicacy in hand, a wiry fellow plops down across from me. Two days' worth of stubble sprouts on his face, and there's a lifetime of hard work in the creases of his hands. I sit for a moment staring at an improbable yet quintessentially Chicago sign across the way: TOMALES, NACHOS, PIZZA, HOT DOGS, PUPUSAS. Then I catch the man's eye. He immediately addresses me in Spanish. "Good food here, huh? I came all the way from Madison, Wisconsin. You?" "I'm from here," I reply. I think of the stunning displays of organic fruits and vegetables, some of our country's best, at the Madison farmers' market, and say, "That's some market you have in Madison." "It's okay, I guess," he allows. "A lot of cute food. But this is a market you can really eat from." Folding a handmade tortilla around shreds of chicken mole, he bites off a satisfying mouthful.

DOE Patents Patent: Cellulase producing microorganism ATCC 55702
Title: Cellulase producing microorganism ATCC 55702
Bacteria which produce large amounts of cellulase--containing cell-free fermentate have been identified. The original bacterium (ATCC 55703) was genetically altered using nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) treatment to produce the enhanced cellulase producing bacterium (ATCC 55702), which was identified through replicate plating. ATCC 55702 has improved characteristics and qualifies for the degradation of cellulosic waste materials for fuel production, food processing, textile processing, and other industrial applications. ATCC 55702 is an improved bacterial host for genetic manipulations using recombinant DNA techniques, and is less likely to destroy genetic manipulations using standard mutagenesis techniques. 5 figs.
