The United States Probation Office has requested that the government
obtain information from individuals believed to be victims of the
defendant\'s odometer fraud scheme. The purpose of this request is to
aid the sentencing Court in identifying the victims entitled to
restitution and in determining what amount of restitution should be paid
by the defendant to those victims. Be aware, however, that there may not
be sufficient funds available to pay victims full restitution.

If you believe that you are entitled to restitution as a result of your
purchase of the vehicle with a rolled back odometer, you need to let the
United States Probation Office know. Enclosed is a declaration that you
should complete and forward to the United States Probation Office as
soon as possible. This declaration has the same legal effect as an
affidavit, but need not be notarized. This declaration should be mailed
to:

**\[Probation Officer\'s name\]**

United States Probation Office

**\[mailing address\]**.

So that **\[Probation Officer\'s name\]** can process all of the
information, **\[he/she\]** must receive the completed declaration by
not later than **\[date\]**. **\[Probation Officer\'s name\]** will
submit the declaration on your behalf to the sentencing Court.

In completing the form, you should make the Probation Officer aware of
all financial losses you have suffered as a result of the defendant\'s
odometer tampering scheme. In that listing, you should list all excess
charges that you have incurred that can be attributed to the odometer
rollback. (If you believe that you would not have paid the same amount
for the vehicle had you known the vehicle\'s actual mileage, you should
advise **\[Probation Officer\'s name\]** of this fact, and you should
let her know what price you paid for the vehicle and what price you
would have paid for the vehicle had the vehicle\'s actual mileage been
disclosed to you.)

We thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions, please
contact **\[Probation Officer\]** at **\[telephone number\]**.

**Permanently Protecting America**

By: Congressman Tom Cole

In August, Congress acted in a bipartisan fashion to pass a temporary
law called the Protect America Act.  This policy amended a number of
out-of-date intelligence laws and gave our country\'s intelligence
officials the legal ability to use advanced information-gathering
techniques to monitor the communications of dangerous foreign enemies. 
The Protect America Act expires soon and at this point in time there are
few things being done to make this vital intelligence legislation
permanent.

Today\'s intelligence officials need the appropriate legal protections
to use innovative surveillance methods when monitoring suspected
terrorists.  Letting the Protect America Act lapse would reverse
important advances that have been made since August, when overseas
surveillance officials were acting under the outdated Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA).  The Protect America Act
updated FISA provisions and enabled the intelligence community to
collect critical information about potential threats against the
American people.  We can not afford to take a step backwards by letting
these security advances expire.  It is time to permanently close the
terrorist loophole once and for all. 

In reality, the Protect America Act has worked well over the past few
months.  It has allowed intelligence officials to quickly and
efficiently monitor communications of terrorists overseas by eliminating
the need to obtain a warrant first. It made common sense adjustments to
intelligence laws and gave our government the ability to use every tool
at its disposal when doing surveillance on suspected foreign
terrorists.  The law allowed our men and women in the intelligence
community to obtain critical information about Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden
and other international terrorists.  The Protect America Act also
provided security advances without harming any civil liberties or legal
rights that are given to Americans.

Our intelligence officials cannot afford the gap in the flow of
information that could result because of the procrastination of
agenda-driven politicians responding to pressure from liberal interest
groups.  Our focus should be to make the Protect America Act permanent,
not to merely punt the issue and deal with it on a month-to-month
basis.  In truth, Congress has a responsibility to the American people
to give our security officials overseas the legal backing they need to
monitor potential enemies of our nation.  Their efforts have saved
countless American lives and they deserve the opportunity to continue
their important work with access to the best information possible.

# Internationally Recognized SGML Applications (IRSA)

For many ISO base standards, particularly those forming the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) framework, applications are supported by
developing "profiles" that select subsets of base standard
functionality. Where international recognition of such an application is
required, an ISO committee can develop an Internationally Standardized
Profile (ISP).

The SGML standard (ISO 8879), however, more closely resembles a
programming language standard, rather than an OSI component, in that
applications are developed by creating unique combinations of base
standard functionality, rather than by subsetting. And as with
programming languages, most applications are not created by ISO
committees. As ISPs are inappropriate for the purpose, WG8 has
established Internationally Recognized SGML Applications (IRSA), the
requirements for which are:

1.  The developing organization shall be a national body or liaison
    member of WG8 and shall have an owner identifier that is registered
    in accordance with ISO/IEC 9070.

2.  The application's formal components (e.g., DTDs and LPDs) shall, and
    its informal components (e.g., documentation) should, be deposited
    in electronic form with the SGML Users' Group for non-exclusive,
    royalty-free, non-commercial distribution.

**BRANSON CAVE**

Branson Cave is gated to protect the contents of the cave including the
cave life forms that live there, and to protect unprepared visitors from
harm.

Recreational permits to visit Branson Cave are available between
Memorial Day and Labor Day. A rough road, requiring high clearance
vehicles, provides access to the cave area. A steep trail leads 1/3 mile
to the cave. If a high-clearance vehicle is not available a walk of 1.5
miles is required.

Branson Cave consists of approximately 2300ft of passages. The main
passage, approximately 1000ft long, is open to recreational visitation.
All of this passage is high enough to be walked through.

Please stay on the paths which are marked with rocks and/or flagging
tape. In the past, Branson Cave was subject to heavy, and frequently
inappropriate, usage. Keeping to the paths and out of pools of water
that support cave life is critical to your visit. Please help us
preserve this cave and its environment for future visitors.

While strongly recommended, helmets and helmet-mounted lights are not
required.

All other rules and regulations for permit caves apply.

Ground Broken on New Water Tower in St. Clair**

*USDA Rural Development financing tower with an \$878,000 low-interest
loan*

ST. CLAIR, Minn., May 23 -- The city of St. Clair is one step closer to
having a new water system, including a new 250,000 gallon water tower
financed by an \$878,000 low-interest loan from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Rural Development program.

Ground was broken today on the water tower, the last step in finishing a
new \$2.3 million water system for the town of 827. The new system
includes a new well, gravity treatment plant and tower. The State of
Minnesota's Public Facilities Authority provided the remaining \$1.4
million for the well and treatment plant.

"Infrastructure in our rural areas must be modern and up-to-date," said
Doug Altrichter, Assistant to the State Director for USDA Rural
Development in Minnesota. Altrichter was one of five representatives of
Rural Development attending the event.

"The city of St. Clair soon will have a modern system that will serve
residents for many generations. I also want to thank the Public
Facilities Authority for our continued strong partnership on projects
throughout Minnesota."

The city's old water system, consisting of two municipal wells, a
pressure treatment facility and an elevated storage tank, did not
provide enough capacity to meet the city's current and future needs. One
well was built in 1950 and another in 1978. The plant was built in 1956
and the current storage tank was built sometime in the early 1900s.

USDA Rural Development finances infrastructures and economic development
projects in rural areas. Rural Development has invested about \$4
billion throughout Minnesota since 2001. More information is available
at [www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn](http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn), or by

Determined bacteria of *Agrobacterium* genus, non-pathogenic and
isolated from soil samples, are producers of two extracellular
polysaccharides: acid and soluble succinoglucan, and the gum, curdlan, a
neutral and insoluble polymer. The latter was approved by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) in 1996, and has been used in the food
industry, because of its capacity to form an excellent firm and
resistant gel

Corn glucose, cassava (or mandioca) glucose and corn maltose were used
in fermentation medium for insoluble polysaccharide production as
substitutes for the source of the carbon in the medium proposed in the
literature. The two lineages of *Agrobacterium* sp used (ATCC 31749 and
IFO 13140) in the production of insoluble exopolysaccharide presented
equal or higher production compared to those cited in the literature
(which were approximately 50.00%). The lineage ATCC 31749 presented
higher production when used with corn maltose, with a production of
84.68%, while the lineage IFO 13140 showed higher production using corn
glucose, with a production of 50.00% (in consequence of sugar reducers).

Inorganic and Organic Chemistry

INVESTIGATION OF THE CeCl~3~ PROMOTED REARRANGEMENTS OF

N-SULFINYLINDOLES

[Amanda J. McGovern]{.underline}, Steven J. Kraft, and Jonathon S.
Russel\*

Division of Natural Science, St. Norbert College, 100 Grant St. De Pere
WI, 54115, russjo@snc.edu.

As part of a broad investigation of the chemistry of sulfinylindoles, we
have become interested in the potential of N-sulfinyl groups to serve as
handles for introducing functionality at a variety of positions on the
indole framework, specifically at indole C7. *N*-sulfinylindoles were
conveniently prepared via *m*CPBA oxidation of the corresponding
*N*-sulfenylindoles.

We have observed the CeCl~3~ promoted rearrangement of
*N*-(methylsulfinyl)indole to the corresponding 3-methanesulfenate. In
an effort to alter the course of the rearrangement from C3 to C7, we
have installed a methyl ester-blocking group at C3 and have begun
investigations of the rearrangement of that species. Experimental
details related to the CeCl~3~ promoted rearrangements will be
discussed.

**Suggested Changes to Proposed Rule Part IV Department of Health and
Human Services, Food and Drug Administration 21 CFR Parts 606, 610 et
al. Requirements for Human Blood and Blood Components Intended for
Transfusion or for Further Manufacturing Use:**

Weight- Proposed Rule §630.10(h) (5), Paragraph 3 speaks to Source
Plasma Establishment requirements to weigh donors at each donation in
order to apply the nomogram for volume limits.

-   Suggest height be taken once yearly. Removal of shoes or other heavy
    clothing should be mandatory at time height and weights are taken.

-   Suggest conversion of the two measurements (height and weight) to
    lean body mass as a basis for the quantity of plasma removed.

**Rationale:** Fat tissue is relatively poorly perfused and cardiac
output does not increase with obesity. Arterial --mixed venous oxygen
difference is positively correlated with obesity meaning a possible
magnitude of relative slow moving pools of blood increase the incidence
of death due to thromboembolism in obese individuals. In men, the
quantity of blood apparently associated with lean tissue is twice that
of fat.
