A -glucosidase (BglA, EC 3.2.1.21) gene of the polycentric anaerobic
fungus *Orpinomyces* PC-2 was cloned and sequenced. The enzyme
containing 657 amino acid residues was homologous to certain animal,
plant and bacterial -glucosidases but lacked significant similarity to
those from aerobic fungi. No cellulose (CBD) or protein binding domain
(dockerin) was found in BglA. When expressed in *Saccharomyces
cerevisiae,* the enzyme was secreted in two forms with mass of about 110
kDa and found also in two forms associated with the yeast. One secreted
and two cell-associated forms of BglA were purified and characterized.
Analysis of the secreted BglA revealed that a signal peptide of 16 amino
acid residues was cleaved off during the secretion. The two
cell-associated forms were missing 39 and 48 N-terminal amino acid
residues. Treatment of the secreted forms with N-glycosidase F shifted,
as revealed on SDS-PAGE, to two sharp bands of 92 and 87 kDa, indicating
that BglA secreted by the yeast contained approximately 20%
N-glycosylation. K~m~ and V~max~ values of the glycosylated secreted
BglA at 40^o^C and pH 6.0 were 0.762 mM and 8.20 mole/min/mg,
respectively, with -nitrophenyl glucoside (pNPG) as the substrate and
0.310 mM and 6.45 mole/min/mg, respectively, for the hydrolysis of
cellobiose. Glucose competitively inhibited the hydrolysis of NPG with a
K~i~ of 3.6 mM. The enzyme specifically hydrolyzed aryl\--glucosides,
but lacked activity against alkyl\--glucosides or -1,4-glucosides. The
purified recombinant -glucosidase significantly enhanced the conversion
of cellulosic materials into glucose by *Trichoderma reesei* cellulase
preparations, demonstrating its potential in use for biofuel and
feed-stock chemical production.

We will present a transpose puzzle in the form of a multiset, a set with
some of the elements indistinguishable.  Suppose we permute the elements
of a multiset. It is clear that we can restore
them to an order indistinguishable from the original order using\
transpositions.  (Think
of rebuilding your name after scrambling the letters.)\
Our question is how can we do so most efficiently?  We explore this
question by using some puzzle software. We will also prove a general
formula for finding the average number of transpositions needed to get
the elements to their proper places. We give specific answers in two
cases, namely when all the objects are distinguishable, and when there
are two types of
indistinguishable elements.  Methods and partial results will
be discussed for other cases.

**CANTIL TO USE \$369,000 FROM USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT FOR WATER SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENTS**

**Cantil, CA - August 25, 2004 -** At an event held today in Cantil,
USDA Rural Development State Director Paul Venosdel made a ceremonial
check presentation in the amount of \$369,000, to Rancho Seco, Inc. for
water system improvements to the Cantil water system.

The water system currently consists of one well, one 20 gallon steel
pressure tank, a 10 horsepower booster pump, and the distribution
system. Improvements to the system will include replacing existing
waterlines, replacing the leaking pressure tank, cleaning the ground
storage tank, and replacing the well and booster pump's protective
structures and electrical controls. The old waterlines will no longer be
used after the new lines are installed and ready to use. Water system
improvements will improve distribution, storage, and treatment of water
for Cantil's residents.

"The Bush Administration is committed to improving infrastructure in
rural areas," said Venosdel. "These investments will help the community
of Cantil grow stronger and will help improve the quality of life for
rural citizens."

The loan and grant were made possible through the Water and Waste
Disposal Loan and Grant Program, which provides financial assistance to
rural communities for improving water and waste disposal facilities. The
program also provides funding for developing and repairing water, sewer,
storm drainage, and solid waste systems. Areas with demonstrated need
are given higher priority in receiving aid.

USDA Rural Development's mission is to deliver programs in a way that
will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of
life of rural residents. Rural Development provides equity and technical
assistance to finance and foster growth in homeownership, business
development, and critical community and technology infrastructure. For
more information on how USDA Rural Development programs can help you and
your community, visit your local USDA local office or the Rural
Development website at

RE: FMCSA-2007-27659

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a third party tester for our school system. I am also Coordinator
of Driver Training and know

exactly what is involved in training an individual for their CDL. Our
training is monitored by the

Virginia Department of Education as well as the Division of Motor
Vehicles. If the standards are

compromised in any manner, we forfeit our right to the third party
program. We have worked hard

to perfect our program because, as school bus drivers, we have the lives
of our future at stake.

In our county it would be impossible to have each of our 3 testers, test
50 people each year. If

we had to discontinue the program, the burden of having our local DMV
perform the tests would

devastate our hiring abilities. We currently train our future school bus
drivers for approximately

one month prior to even being able to drive students. As we are on a
monthly pay cycle, it takes 2

months or more for a new employee to get their first pay check. If they
had to hold their CLP for

30 days before being able to obtain their license, this would add that
much more time in addition to

the time it would take to get an appointment for their CDL test, until
they were able to receive any

income. Hiring qualified school bus drivers is not an easy task. When we
put individuals into a

training program and can't estimate how long it will take or when they
will be receiving an

income, it would be even harder.

Our testing rate is approximately 50 per year. Due to the limited number
of trainers and the time

constraints, our testers train and test between their daily runs. We do
not have the call to test 150

or more individuals each year.

Please don't make these proposed changes to this program. There must be
some other way to

monitor the quality of the program rather than penalizing the hard
working citizens that it was

intended to help.

Sincerely,

Linda J. Powell

Conclusion

 In summary, the studies reviewed in this paper indicate that\
mercury vapor exposure from environmental sources or dental\
amalgams appear to contribute to tissue burdens, especially in\
the CNS, kidneys, and certain glands. Further studies must be\

conducted for verification of that occurrence, as well as for\
exploration of whether the contribution is of significance to\
human health. Broad-scale studies should be conducted on the\
question of whether the presence of amalgam restorations can\
cause impairment of physical or mental health. Studies should\
be designed to determine the physical and mental health of\
dental care providers relative to their peers, since those providers\
as a group appear to bear significantly higher tissue levels of\
mercury than comparable control subjects. Finally, there\
should be further replication by other investigators of studies\
relating dental amalgam restorations to tissue levels of mercury

MINUTEMAN MISSILE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE

First Ever Silo Night Program

Minuteman Missile National Historic Site is pleased to announce the
first ever night program at Launch Facility (missile silo) Delta-09.
Visitors attending the program will have the unique opportunity to visit
the missile silo just after sundown on Thursday, June 12^th.^

The program will begin at The National Grasslands Visitor Center in Wall
at 8:00 p.m. The Grasslands Visitor Center will open its doors at 7:30
p.m. to allow visitors to view exhibits and displays inside. Visitors
will first attend a short interpretive presentation by Park Ranger Chris
Wilkinson entitled *"Minuteman Missile: Preserving A Legacy of the Cold
War."* This presentation will cover Minuteman Missiles in South Dakota
and their role as a deterrent during the Cold War. The visitors will
also view the park's just completed film.

From the National Grasslands visitor center tour participants will then
follow Ranger Wilkinson by car caravan six miles east to Launch Facility
(missile silo) Delta-09. The missile silo is a half mile south of exit
116, Interstate 90. Visitors will view a Minuteman II training missile
on display. They will also learn how the missile would be launched and
the devastating power of nuclear weapons. Please dress according to the
weather, nights can be chilly in June and thunderstorms may suddenly
arise. Bring a flashlight. Car pooling is recommended because of narrow
and limited parking at the site.

Tours are also available at Minuteman Missile National Historic Site at
the two facilities which make up the site - Launch Control Facility,
Delta -01 and Launch Facility Delta-09. Tours are given daily year
round. Tour spaces are extremely limited, it is best to make
reservations in advance. For more information about tours at the site
please visit their website at
[www.nps.gov/mimi](http://www.nps.gov/mimi) or call 605-433-5552.

Minuteman Missile National Historic Site was designated a National Park
Site in 1999. It was created to illustrate the history and significance
of the Cold War, the arms race, and intercontinental ballistic missile
(ICBM) development. Minuteman Missile National Historic Site is located
near Wall, South Dakota.

**Asuntos sobre la cabeza:**

##### Materiales, conexiones y costos del techo

**San Juan, P. R.** --- Al escoger los materiales y el diseño para las
reparaciones del techo usted debe tener en cuenta algunos factores
básicos.

Muchas viviendas perdieron sus techos de madera durante el huracán
Georges. Pero no fue porque fueran de madera. Fue porque no estaban bien
conectados a las paredes y a los cimientos. El usar los conectores o las
amarras apropiadas al reconstruir lo ayudará a mantener su techo durante
el próximo huracán.

Si bien los techos de cemento tienen menos probabilidades de que un
huracán los destruya, son mucho más costosos y representan un riesgo en
caso de terremoto. Puerto Rico está en una zona propensa a terremotos.

Los techos de armazón de madera son flexibles durante los temblores y
mantienen su integridad. Los techos de cemento tienden a desmoronarse y
caen pedazos de escombros sobre cualquiera dentro de la estructura. Por
lo tanto, los expertos de mitigación recomiendan techos de madera en vez
de techos de cemento para las viviendas.

Hay varios métodos de construir el armazón de los techos de madera. Los
métodos preferidos dejan caer la carga del viento en las paredes. Por
ejemplo:

• Un sistema de **columna y viga**, que consta de grandes elementos de
armazón apoyados en las paredes exteriores y una pared de carga central
o cumbrera apoyada sobre por columnas u otras paredes de carga.

• Un sistema de **tijerilla**, que consta de marcos triangulares pre
fabricados anclados a las paredes exteriores. Un sistema de tijerilla es
apropiado para un techo "suspendido" (suspendido de o conectado a los
elementos del armazón) o un techo "de bandeja" (formado uniendo paneles
de techo a la parte inferior de las viguetas y los travesaños).

• **Vigas de madera**, o construidos en sitio, **armazón triangular**,
similar a las tijerillas.

Los techos abiertos o de "bóveda" no tienen un apoyo central de cumbrera
y producen que la carga de la fuerza del viento sea lateral o hacia
afuera sobre las paredes. La construcción de viviendas de cemento
compensa por este empuje lateral usando una viga masiva de junta
reforzada con acero... sobre la pared.

En viviendas con paredes de armazón de madera, la presión hacia el
exterior se controla a través de vigas en los techos conectadas a las
viguetas y a la viga de junta o por medio de travesaños amarrados a las
viguetas a en el tercio inferior del techo. El tamaño de los elementos
del armazón se debe basar en las tablas de dimensión disponibles en las
oficinas regionales de la Administración de Reglamentos y Permisos
(ARPE)

regional de Administración de Reglamentos y Permisos (ARPE).*

Sir

Previously to the receipt of this, you will have heard no doubt that \~
three or four of Shays' people have paid with their lives, for the
temerity of their lose in advancing toward Gen. Sheppard's post at the
barracks in Springfield, in defiance of the humane warning of that
gentleman.

Mr. Broome\[?\] left Springfield on Saturday morning, and received the
particulars of this affair from Gen. S. himself; and added that Shays
and his people, fled in the greatest confusion and precipitation, to a
town called \~ Ludlow, about 15 miles from the barracks - That Gen.
Lincoln had arrived within a few miles of Springfield, with a body of 2
or 3,000 men.-

One Luke Day, Comm. at the Head of 6 or 700 [wretches]{.underline}, and
in possession of West-Springfield, sent by flag, a paper to Gen.
Shepard, of which the annexed is a copy.

The American Archives, for Century's to come, I am convinced will not
furnish its parallel for insolence & folly-

It is worthy of note, that Gen. Shepard commanded about 1200 well
appointed militia, uniformly armed and well \~ clothed and fed; And that
Day's people were destitute of everything that could afford them
comfort, or ten minutes defense in case of an attack.

The signature of [Luke Day]{.underline}, I consider as my papal
dispensation, for the liberty I have taken, and therefore had a degree
of confidence in this occupation in subscribing myself.

With great Respect

Sir!

**[New Proton Driver PHG Markup]{.smallcaps}**

> **19.d. [Background]{.underline}**

In August, 2004, superconducting RF was announced as the technology
choice for the International Linear Collider. In February, 2005, the
proposed Fermilab BTeV experiment was cancelled by the Department of
Energy. Both of these actions have led to an increased emphasis and
allocation of resources to prepare the proposal for a Proton Driver
based on a superconducting Linac, which could conceivably be approved
for construction start as early as FY08.

**19.f. [Accomplishments in FY05]{.underline}**

Effort focused on preparation of documentation to support Critical
Decision 0 (CD-0): determination of mission need for a Proton Driver. It
is anticipated that CD-0 will be attained. In the Accelerator Division,
a Proton Driver core group was formed and budget was established to
support this effort. The main responsibility of this group included
specifications of Main Injector upgrades and new beam transfer lines
required to fully utilize the Proton Driver as a higher intensity
replacement for the 30+ year-old Linac and Booster. This group also
assisted in designs for the Proton Driver Linac and civil construction.

> **19.g.1. [Accomplishments Expected in FY06]{.underline}**

After CD-0 is granted, Fermilab will proceed with conceptual design
using program funds. Preparations to request CD-1 will begin, along with
the request for Project Engineering and Design (PDE) funding to be
available for the preliminary and final designs. Major R&D of the
Accelerator Division's Proton Driver core group will include: assisting
with the implementation of the dual power amplifier upgrade of the
existing Main Injector RF (part of the Proton Plan), and R&D on a future
new RF system for the Main Injector (part of the Proton Driver project),
diamond foils for stripping electrons from H^-^ ions after injection
into the MI, laser beam chopping, beam debunching cavities, and phase
shifters for distribution of the power to the Proton Driver RF cavities.

**19.g.2. [Future Accomplishments Expected in FY07 and
Beyond]{.underline}**

The Conceptual Design Report (CDR) will be completed. CD-1 and CD-2
approval will be requested in FY07. The R&D activities listed above will
continue. A Fermilab site study for a facility for long baseline
neutrino physics based on the Proton Driver will be started. Accelerator
Division will play an increasing role in the preparation for the
construction, which could start as early as FY08 after CD-3 approval.

#### INSTALACION DE TOLDOS EN CURSO

**San Juan, P.R. --** Más de 4,225 viviendas han sido reparadas a través
de un proyecto de emergencia de reparación de techos. La fuerza especial
encargada de la reparación de los techos está compuesta por la Agencia
Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias, el Cuerpo de Ingenieros del
Ejercito, la Defensa Civil de Puerto Rico, gobiernos municipales, la
Guardia Nacional y agencias de voluntarios.

"Esta semana empezamos ha instalar toldos a un ritmo de 1000 hogares por
día" dijo el coordinador estatal José A. Fuentes. "Con el esfuerzo de
recuperación que estamos llevando a cabo esperamos superar esa
cantidad." Cargamentos de toldos y alfajías continúan llegando a la
Isla.

"En cada municipio, equipos locales de trabajo han identificado y
marcado las estructuras que necesitan reparaciones de emergencia en los
techos y los alcaldes determinan cuales son las viviendas que necesitan
reparación inmediata" dijo José A. Bravo, coordinador federal para la
operacin de recuperación del huracán.

De acuerdo con Fuentes, los residentes que necesitan cubrir sus techos
deben ponerse en contacto con su alcalde o con las oficinas de la
Defensa Civil. Las oficinas de los alcaldes también están encargadas de
recibir y distribuir los toldos a los contratistas.

Las reparaciones de emergencia de los techos de estructuras recuperables
(techos intactos en más del 50%) están asignadas a la Guardia Nacional.

"Bajo este programa de ayuda de emergencia, los residentes no deben
instalar los toldos en sus propios techos" dijo Bravo. "Esta labor es
demasiado peligrosa para aquellas personas que no han recbido
entrenamiento en instalación de toldos." Además, los toldos deben ser
instalados siguiendo determinadas especificaciones.

29 municipios trabajan en un esfuerzo conjunto en el que los residentes
pueden instalar toldos bajo la supervisión directa de la Guardia
Nacional. Estos municipios son: Fajardo, Canóvanas, Trujillo Alto,
Guayama, Loíza, Río Grande, Maunabo, Luquillo, San Juan, Toa Alta,
Corozal, Morovis, Vega Baja, Aguas Buenas, Ponce, Orocovis, Ciales,
Utuado, Arecibo, Jayuya, Adjuntas, Salinas, Moca, Isabela, San
Sebastián, Maricao, San Germán, Cabo Rojo y Lares.

Bravo enfatizó que no hay costo alguno por la instalación de toldos. "Si
alguien trata de cobrarle por este trabajo de emergencia, debe
informarlo inmediatamente llamando al 1-800-794-6690" advirtió.

Las compañías contratadas por los municipios y por el Cuerpo de
Ingenieros del Ejercito reparan la mayor parte de los techos afectados.
Todas las compañías contratadas por los municipios están establecidas en
Puerto Rico.

This "Western Oregon Plan Revision" isn't worth the expense. Logging
companies have been touting sustainable forests for years, so why go and
cut the old growth forests that will be gone forever when logged? The
BLM and logging companies also say that this logging of BLM land will
create jobs for rural areas. The jobs it will create are short term. Why
cut down ancient forests for short-term jobs and gain for logging
companies who will leave the rural areas when it is finished? We own
property in Douglas County and would rather see new alternatives to the
county budget then relying so much on logging. The Umpqua is a beautiful
river and logging around it and its tributaries would have a large
impact on the fish runs. Focusing more on tourism for instance would
help to ease the budget woes of Douglas County. Fishing Tours and Hiking
Excursions could play a large role in sustaining the communities. If we
log these areas we will be reducing the opportunity for tourism.

I guess the No Action alternative is the one I'd vote for if I had to
vote. I am concerned though with logging practices in general. I have
seen first hand recently what logging will do to a tributary of a major
river in the valley. We frequently visit Gate Creek (Vida) in the summer
time to enjoy the cool waters. This year, as we drove the back road to
the swim hole we found no shade and trees cut right up to the shore. I
know there are laws that are supposed to protect the streams but logging
companies get more money for the logs than they have to pay in fines so
there isn't a lot of incentive to play by the rules. I am afraid that if
we increase logging there will be disregard for the owls, fish and
