Cajun Cooking

# By Pat Hartinger

*"New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin."*

Mark Twain - 1884

At about the same time as the Acadian people had settled in the
swamplands and waterways of South Louisiana, a new title was given to
the residents of New Orleans. The name "Criollo" was given to all
residents of Europeans descent, including the Spanish settlers from the
West Indies, Central or South America as well as the original French
settlers. Included in this group were persons of European and Black
descent. Criollo soon became "Creole." It would appear that the main
difference between Cajun and Creole cooking is the difference between
city cooking and country---peasant cooking. Creole is a cuisine that
developed over two centuries as a blend of French dishes and African
cooking methods, with Spanish, German, and American influences. Its rich
gumbos are a combination of onions, bell peppers, and celery, cooked in
a roux of oil and flour.

height="2.004166666666667in"}When the Acadians arrived in Louisiana,
they had nothing and had to learn to make use of what they found. One of
their first discoveries was the crayfish (or crawfish). Early recipes
were simple: usually crayfish were simply boiled or steamed. It was not
until the 1940s and '1950s that this freshwater crustacean became
popular and available commercially. These "mudbugs" are now raised in
flooded rice fields, a practice known as double---cropping. However,
earlier recipes made use of crabs, squirrels, muskrats, frogs, and
alligators. The introduced nutrias have been added to many cook's
repertoire

The practice of cooking with tomatoes and hot peppers shows the early
Spanish and Afro-Caribbean influence. Other African influences include
single dish combinations like jambalaya and gumbo. (Gumbo is an African
word meaning okra, but most Cajun gumbos no longer contain okra.) It is
a green---brown soup containing several types of seafood, some
vegetables,and thickened with gumbo---file, which are powdered sassafras
leaves stirred in at the end to prevent bitterness. This latter is a
Native American contribution. Other recipes make use of rice, blackeyed
peas, pork innards, yams and sweet potatoes. Cajun cooking has been
popularized by chef Paul Prudhomme of K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen. It is
a spicy and robust presentation.

When requesting a recipe from a Cajun cook, don't expect exact
measurements. Cajun people cook by instinct, "stir and cook until done."
When giving Cajun cooking a try, just remember to say, "Laissez les bons
temps rouler." Let the good times roll.

**Water Improvements Set for Verdon**

**Lincoln, Nebraska, June 20**-The United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development has approved funding of \$205,900
in loan and \$568,100 in grant funds for the Village of Verdon\'s
municipal water system improvement project.

\"The proposed project is necessary to bring this water system back into
compliance with the regulations of the Nebraska Department of Health and
Human Services Regulation & Licensure,\" said Roger Meeks, rural
development specialist for USDA Rural Development in Lincoln. \"The
existing system is currently not able to meet the water demands of this
community.\"

The project will consist of connecting the Village of Verdon\'s water
system to the Richardson County rural water district #2 via the Village
of Salem. Distribution improvements and water storage tank repairs will
also be completed.

The USDA Rural Development loan will be repaid over 40 years at 4.50
percent interest.

USDA Rural Development is a credit arm of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture whose mission is to provide financial assistance to rural
communities who are unable to secure acceptable credit elsewhere for
housing, community facilities, and business development. Assistance
provided can be in the form of grants, direct loans, and guarantees on
loans made by commercial lenders.

The USDA funds were received through the Water & Waste Disposal Loan and
Grant Program and the Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant Program
of USDA Rural Development. For additional information regarding USDA
Rural Development Loan and Grant Programs, contact Roger Meeks in the

**FCC Initiates proceeding to STREAMLINE REQUESTS FOR Acquisitions of
Corporate Control**

### **Inquiry Seeks Comment on the Types of Applications** 

### **That Should be Eligible for Streamlined Treatment** 

Washington, D.C. -- Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted a *Declaratory Ruling* and *Notice of Proposed Rulemaking* that
proposes streamlined treatment for transfer of domestic interstate
transmission lines through acquisitions of corporate control where,
based upon a predetermined criteria, it would require little scrutiny
for the Commission to determine that grant of the application would
serve the public interest.

Today's *Notice of Proposed Rulemaking* seeks comment on a broad range
of proposals in order to assist the FCC in developing standards that
would balance the applicants' need for simplicity, predictability, and
speed against the Commission's duties under the Communications Act.

The FCC also adopted a *Declaratory Ruling* which clarifies that, except
for connecting carriers, any party, including non-dominant carriers,
that "would be a domestic interstate communications common carrier,"
whether before or after a proposed transaction, must obtain Commission
approval prior to consummating a transaction involving an acquisition of
corporate control.

The purpose of today\'s *Declaratory Ruling* and *Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking* is to provide clarity where the rules have proven over the
years to be unclear, and to develop an approach that minimizes the need
for regulatory intervention, both now and as competition in
telecommunications markets increases.

\--more\--

In addition to the *Declaratory Ruling* and *Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking*, the Common Carrier Bureau will also issue a public notice
clarifying procedures for common carriers requiring authorization under
section 214 to acquire domestic interstate transmission lines through an
acquisition of corporate control.

Hands-On Usability Testing of EIA\'s New Website Design: Can You Find
What You\'re Looking For? Colleen Blessing, National Energy Information
Center, EIA The last EIA website redesigned was in 2000. We know from
extensive customer feedback that finding information on our site in many
cases is not easy or intuitive. We want our customers to be able to find
what they need and understand what they find.

Working since last fall, and based on input from many sources, the Web
Redesign Group has created a new prototype design we would like the ASA
members to \"test drive.\" This session will be you sitting at a
computer using the new site, commenting as you click through, giving us
feedback on what you see, and finding answers to questions or finding
what you usually use on the current site.

EIA conducted a similar usability test with ASA members before our
redesign in 2000 and received useful feedback. There is no preparation
necessary for this session, except if you want to record some reports or
data tables you would like to be able to find on the new site. Looking
at the new design for the first time in this session will allow us to
capture your first impressions.

**[OTTER INTRODUCES CRITICAL HABITAT BILL]{.underline}**

## ***MEASURE SEEKS SOUND SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR DESIGNATIONS UNDER ESA***

**WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman C.L. "Butch" Otter introduced
legislation on Wednesday to help ensure the Endangered Species Act is
not used without sound scientific justification to restrict the use of
the public lands that make up about two-thirds of Idaho.**

**Otter's bill, the Scientifically Identifying the Need for Critical
Habitat (SINCH) Act, would give the secretary of Interior discretion in
determining whether to designate critical habitat for species listed as
threatened or endangered. The Endangered Species Act now mandates
designation of critical habitat, which is defined as an area occupied by
a listed species or areas the species needs in order to recover.**

**Federal agencies must consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
or the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's fisheries
office about any federal action within designated critical habitat to
ensure species are not harmed, or to determine how to mitigate the harm.
However, agencies must consult with species protection regulators about
any action that may affect a listed species regardless of whether
critical habitat has been designated.**

**The Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to fall at least \$2 million
short of the money it needs to meet court-ordered deadlines, generated
by environmentalist lawsuits, for designating critical habitat for 32
species during the current budget year alone. The agency reportedly
would need \$120 million to \$150 million to deal with the backlog of
listings and critical habitat designations.**

**As of April, the Fish and Wildlife Service was involved in 31 active
lawsuits over critical habitat designations and was in the process of
complying with 35 court orders. It also has received 36 notices of
intent to sue.**

**"From grizzly bears and lynx to bull trout and slick spot peppergrass,
the list of species for which Idahoans have to make special allowances
just keeps on growing. The West has become one big minefield of
endangered species, with bureaucrats and environmental extremists
burning through taxpayer money to tell us where it's safe to step.
Enough is enough," Otter said.**

**"Give the people who live here and the local leaders responsible for
complying with the law some credit for common sense and good intentions.
And if you're going to throw a blanket over big chunks of our land, you
better make sure you have the solid evidence to back it up.**

**"Too often, implementing the Endangered Species Act involves using
advocacy science. When the Interior secretary determines whether a
critical habitat designation is needed, the standard should be higher
than 'best available science.' It ought to involve sound science that's
been peer reviewed, just as it should with listing of species in the
first place."**

**ABSTRACT**

Determination of Forcefield Parameters to Evaluate the Binding of
Porphyrin Structures to c-type Cytochrome Architectures. ADRIENNE
EASTLAND(Chicago State University, Chicago, IL 60628) KRISTY L. MARDIS
(Chicago State University, Chicago, IL 60628) DAVID TIEDE (Argonne
National Laboratory, Argonne, IL 60439).

The binding of porphyrin-like molecules to the surface of c-type
cytochrome proteins allows the initiation of electron transport. In
order to develop biomimetic photosynthetic devices, the initiation step
must be tuned by the choice of substituents on the porphyrin molecules.
Computational docking studies combined with experimental fluorescence
studies allow the evaluation of the effects of substituent changes on
electron transport rates. The aim of this work is to develop a scoring
function that is fast enough to be successfully applied to the
prediction of the binding energy of a c-type cytochrome to a
porphyrin-like ligand. Docking studies depend heavily on the scoring
function employed. By using *ab initio* calculations at the Hartree
Fock//6-31G\* level, bond, angle, and dihedral parameters for the CHARMM
scoring function were developed for a series of small molecules,
representative of functional groups found in organic and biochemical
systems. Upon parameterization, the dihedral force constant, k~Ф,~ for
the CA-CC-OC-OC dihedral in carboxybenzene was determined to be 3.66
kcal/mol/degree with n = 2 (n is the multiplicity of the function). For
naphthalene dicarboxylate k~Ф~ = 1.16 kcal/mol/degree with n = 4. The
magnitudes of the k~Ф~ values are in good agreement with existing CHARMM
forcefield parameters. Furthermore, these values reproduce the quantum
mechanical energy profiles as a function of angle with R^2^ values of
0.97 and 0.94 for the carboxybenzene and naphthalene dicarboxylate
molecules, respectively. A successful method will bridge the gap between
expensive free-energy simulations and empirical scoring functions that
are currently used to predict binding energy.

######## ABSTRACT

Oat is a culture that stands out in relation to other cereals due to the
number of its excellent known characteristics. In Brazil its importance
has grown a lot. As a consequence of its expansion, the risks for
disease epidemics also increased. Among the several diseases that can
attack oats, fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the fungus *Giberella
zea* (Schwein.) Petch, has been appearing recently as a new disease,
which may have a quite significant impact on the culture. Depending on
the severity level on some cereals, such as wheat and barley, it might
be responsible for severe yield losses and poor quality of the grains.
On oats, however, there is not enough information about the losses that
this disease may impose. Based on this, the present work aims to
determine the impact of the FHB disease on oats, particularly measuring
the damages and possible existence of resistance in a number of
genotypes. For that, it was cultivated at the Agronomic Experimental
Station of UFRGS, Eldorado do Sul, 15 genotypes of oats. Each of them
was sowed in the direct seed planting system, in six plots of 1x3 m. At
flowering stage, each genotype was sprayed with fungicide followed by a
second spray seven days later on three of the six plots. About 15 days
after the flowering, the presence of the disease was observed by the
discoloration on the infected spikelet, in contrast with the healthy,
green ones. On this occasion, it was randomly marked 150 diseased and
150 healthy panicles in each of the treatments with and without
fungicide. In the laboratory, the panicles were threshed individually by
hand, having their spikelets separated and weighed. The results
demonstrated a significant reduction on the weight of the panicle for
several genotypes tested, when infected by the disease. The average for
the potential damage of the 15 oat genotypes was 3.34%. Besides, a
significant effect of the fungicide was observed in reducing damages of
the disease, particularly on the weight of the panicles and on the
percentage of infected spikelets. So far, it was not possible to
distinguish levels of resistance for this disease amongst the genotypes
tested. This study presents for the first time detailed results on the
impact of FHB on oats and its yield damage on an environment favorable
to the disease.

RE: The tariff classification of sugarless mints from Finland.

Dear Mr. Keegan:

In your letter dated April 21, 1998, on behalf of Mark

Reynolds, Westport, CT, you requested a tariff classification

ruling.

A sample and a brochure accompanied your letter. The sample

was examined and disposed of. \"Plakaway Fresh Start\" dental

mints are white tablets, measuring 1/2 inch in diameter, composed

of xylitol, natural flavors, magnesium sterate, gelatin, silica

dioxide, carnauba wax, and bees wax. The product is put up in a

plastic container with a flip top lid, containing 180 mints. The

mints are said to neutralize plaque acids to reduce the formation

of plaque, re-mineralize tooth enamel, and freshen breath.

The applicable subheading for the Plakaway Fresh Start

dental mints will be 2106.90.9985, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not

elsewhere specified or included: other\... other\...other:

confectionery (including gum) containing synthetic sweetening

agents (e.g.,saccharin) instead of sugar. The rate of duty will

be 7.6 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177

of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above

should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time

this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions

regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Stanley

Hopard at 212-466-5760.

Studying the resolved disk structure of nearby young stars can hold
clues to the chemistry and dynamics of planet formation. The abundance
of water ice, for example, is important for efficient planet formation
and delivery of water to terrestrial life bearing planets in young
disks. Many Solar System objects, from comets to the surfaces of
satellites show the presence of water ice, while some larger objects
such as Pluto show the presence of methane ice. These materials should
be present in young exo-solar disks and may have detectable features as
a function of location in the scattered light of a resolved
circumstellar disk. Even if ices are not detected, the albedo of a disk
as a function of wavelength can provide insight into the properties of
the dust seen in scattered light. We present observations from the
Hubble Space Telescope's near infrared camera of two young stars with
disks, HD 100546 and HR 4796A. HD 100546 is currently in the process of
forming planets, while HR 4796A's disk is in a later stage of evolution
and is in the process of clearing out planetesimals. We combine our
results with observations in other wavelengths to create visible through
near infrared spectra of each disk. We find that HR 4796A's disk has a
red spectrum that flattens at longer wavelengths, while HD 100546's
spectrum shows variation as a function of distance from the star. Both
disks are compared to water ice, methane ice, silicate dust, and Solar
System comet spectra.

The Honorable John T. Conway

Chairman

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

625 Indiana Avenue, NW

Suite 700

Washington, D.C. 20004-2901

Dear Mr. Chairman,

On October 14, 2004, the Acting Assistant Deputy Administrator for
Military Application and Stockpile Operations provided a plan for
issuance of certain nuclear explosive surety directives. This memorandum
provides updated information and a revised schedule.

The DOE-STD-3015, *Nuclear Explosive Safety Evaluation Process,* was
released on November 12, 2004 and Development and Production Manual,
Chapter 11.7, *Nuclear Explosive Operation Change Control Process,* was
released on December 15, 2004.

The DOE-STD-3016, *Hazard Analysis Reports for Nuclear Explosive
Operations,* has slipped from March 31, 2005 to August 5, 2005. The
primary reason for this is the reluctance of the field to become
involved in this revision based on their belief that DOE-STD-3009
provides sufficient guidance for the preparation of Hazard Analysis
Reports.

My Nuclear Explosive Safety Office is engaged and working this issue.

Both DOE O 452.lC, *Nuclear Explosive and Weapon Surety Program* and DOE
O

452.2C, *Safety of Nuclear Explosive Operations* are late with regards
to the October 14, 2004 memorandum.

The DOE O 452.1C was submitted to Department of Energy, Office of
Management, Budget, and Evaluation (ME-43) for review and comment
(REVCOM) in mid-December 2004. A technical edit review was completed in
late January 2005. All edit commentaries have been reconciled and the
document has been resubmitted to ME-43 for REVCOM.

In regards to the DOE O 452.2C, National Nuclear Security
Administration, the Office of Nuclear Weapon Surety and Quality (NA-121)
intends to meet with the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB)
staff in mid March to obtain their comments prior to initiating the
REVCOM process.

Once DNFSB commentary has been addressed, the document will be submitted
to ME-43 for REVCOM. The current plan is to submit this document in
early April 2005.

Sincerely,

***M. Schoenbauer***

Mr. Timothy Dwyer

Technical Director

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

625 Indiana Avenue, N.W., Suite 700

Washington, D.C. 20004-2901

Dear Mr. Dwyer:

Pursuant to the December 20, 2007, letter to the Chairman, Defense
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB), from the Administrator for
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), enclosed for your
information is the report which contains results of the Rebound Hammer
Tests on concrete at the Device Assembly Facility (DAF). Although the
initial plan was to correlate the rebound numbers to the compressive
strength, of core drills obtained from the construction of the
Criticality Experiments Facility Project, it was decided that due to the
limited number of usable cores, this comparison will not provide any
meaningful information. We had a number of conference calls with the
DNFSB staff on this issue and the staff agreed that relative strength
would not be determined from these tests.

Instead, the test attempted to correlate the rebound numbers at the
cracked and un-cracked locations at the DAF. According to the test plan
that was coordinated with DNFSB staff, 65 locations were tested. These
included 40 locations considered as \"cracked\" and 25 locations
considered as \"un-cracked\". The statistical analysis of the test
results clearly shows that there is no difference between the concrete,
whether in \"cracked\" or \"uncracked\" locations. This analysis was
peer-reviewed and the results validated. In addition, similar to our
previous reports on the cause of DAF cracks, this report concludes that
the cracks were caused by concrete shrinkage in a constrained volume.
NNSA is satisfied that the cracks in the DAF do not indicate a latent
quality or construction problem and considers this issue resolved.

If you have any question, please contact me at (202) 586-4379 or have
your staff contact Kim Loll at (202) 586-8955 of my staff or John
Leppert at 702-295-1553 at the Nevada Site Office.

*Sincerely,*

***James J. McConnell***
