This week the paving crew for Hardrives moved in starting on Monday with
paving equipment and those white trucks. Some of the guys were staying
in Malta this week and the rest mainly truck drivers were staying in
Havre. It made sense to have the trucks in Havre as the hot mix plant
was there.

On Tuesday morning the plan was to have the first truck load into the
paver by 7:00 am, but with some mix up in load times the mix hit the
ground around 8:00 am. Like all paving the first day had a few problems
that by late afternoon had been solved. Wednesday went even better as
the first lane was finished to the cattle guard near the refuge. The
paver was then moved back to the beginning and the north side lane was
started heading east. Thursday started out fine but within the hour
disaster struck, the paver broke a track, loaded to the maximum. Quickly
arrangements were made with Havre to stop loading anymore trucks and,
did they have a spare paving machine available to borrow. The answer was
sure we do and we will load it up and ship your way. Around 11:00 am
Bill Baltrusch came driving in with a lowboy loaded with a smaller but
adequate paver. While they were waiting for the loaner the crew was busy
shoveling hot asphalt and unloading the crippled paver. With the help of
a Cat loader and winch from the lowboy Hardrives was able to limp the
paver up onto the lowboy and taken off the job. Everything again started
off smooth with the borrowed paver until late in the afternoon something
caused the machine to die. They tried repeatedly to restart the paver
with out luck. Now for the second time today a paver with hot mix
fillings its hopper lay quite and still except for the scurry of orange
shirted men opening and checking wires, pushing buttons and offering
speculation of what was wrong. Finally a suggestion was made to try the
switches in different configurations to see if one was a safety to
prevent starting accidentally. Sure enough a click of the right switch
after nearly an hour the paver once again was laying hot asphalt down
Old Highway 2. The County portion of the Old Highway 2 was paved on
Friday.

Next week shoulder rock will be added to Old Highway 2 and work will
proceed on the refuge segments of the project.

United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.

Jan. 27, 2000.

Before SILBERMAN and HENDERSON, Circuit Judges, and BUCKLEY, Senior
Circuit Judge.

JUDGMENT

PER CURIAM.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Federal Communications
Commission.

This cause was considered on the record from the Federal Communications
Commission, and on the briefs filed by the parties. While the issues
presented occasion no need for a published opinion, they have been
accorded full consideration by the Court. See D.C.Cir. R. 36(b). On
consideration thereof, it is

ORDERED and ADJUDGED, by this Court, that the petition for review is
denied. Petitioner claims to have an \"implied in fact\" contract with
the FCC for the sale of wireless licenses, and seeks review of a
Commission order denying her request for specific performance of the
purported contract. She, however, can point to no documents embodying
this contract, and describes no terms other than the asserted purchase
price; she also does not recount a single statement of FCC personnel
which would suggest an agreement, rather than a willingness to enter
into negotiations. Moreover, the staff with whom petitioner dealt did
not have authority to enter into an agreement. Petitioner also claims
that the government should be required to sell her the licenses under a
dubious theory of equitable estoppel because the FCC advised her to
obtain bankruptcy counsel and participate in the bankruptcy proceedings,
but she provides no evidence that the FCC told her to do so as part of
any agreement. It is

FURTHER ORDERED, by this Court, sua sponte, that the Clerk shall
withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after
disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C.Cir. R.
41(a)(1). This instruction to the Clerk is without prejudice to the
right of any party at any time to move for expedited issuance of the
mandate for good cause shown.
There may be no \"political will\" in the minds of our politicians but
there absolutely is \"citizen will\" for change. Politicians do not have
minds, they have deep, expensive pockets and very seldom address any
issues base upon what their or anyone else\'s constituents really want.
Unfortunately, somewhere in our constitutional history, politicians have
come to care less about the constitution and more about themselves. Give
me my money without the coercion of a supposed tax system that penalizes
all taxpayers.

The Honorable Bill Thomas

Chairman

House Committee on Ways and Means

1102 Longworth House Office Building

Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Chairman Thomas,

We are writing to thank you for your leadership in making it easier for
Americans to save for their future medical needs. The Health Savings
Accounts ("HSAs") and Health Savings Security Accounts ("HSSAs")
included H.R. 2596 are groundbreaking proposals that would provide
Americans with the tools necessary to meet their future medical needs.

While we recognize that the Senate has expressed some concern regarding
the cost of the HSSA proposal, we still believe that Americans need
tax-efficient and attractive savings vehicles dedicated to helping them
to save for retiree medical expenses. Therefore, we are writing to you
to ask you to review and consider a proposal that would allow Americans
to use their existing individual and workplace savings systems to save
for retiree medical expenses.

Under this proposal, individuals not covered by an employer-sponsored
plan and participants in employer-sponsored defined contribution plans
could elect annually to have a portion of their deductible IRA
contribution or their employee pre-tax contributions and employer
matching contributions allocated to a separate Retiree Medical Benefits
Account ("RMBA") within their Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") or
their employer provided retirement plan. Distributions from a RMBA would
be tax-free and penalty-free if (1) made after a certain age and (2)
used for Medical care expenses as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
(See the attached description of the RMBA proposal.)

We believe that this proposal has some merit and we ask you to review it
and consider it as part of the Medicare Conference. Again, we want to
thank you for your leadership and dedication on this important issue.

Sincerely,

> Sam Johnson

Deformation of Soil and Regolith on the Moon and Mars: Implications of
Cam Cap Models for Poorly Indurated Sedimentary Rocks on the Earth

The response of granular and clay-rich soil, as well as poorly indurated
sedimentary rock such as eolian sandstone, siltstone, nonwelded igneous
pyroclastic tuff, airfall deposits, and carbonates, is well
characterized by Cam cap models of elastic-plastic yielding. As
load-bearing elements beneath e.g. foundations and at greater depth,
these materials first deform elastically, then by localized yielding
along shear bands. The Cam cap yield surface can be approximated by
estimates of its cohesion, friction, water content, porosity, and
average grain size; measurements of some of these are available for the
Pathfinder, Spirit, and Opportunity landing sites on Mars.

The specific type of shear band formed depends on where the loading path
intersects the Cam yield surface. At low values of confining pressure,
dilation bands and dilation bands with shear offsets both can form.
These bands have increased porosity within the band and localize
frictional slip surfaces easily, so they can fail at relatively small
strains to form faults (surfaces of Coulomb frictional sliding). At
intermediate pressures, isochoric shear bands can form, which can also
fault at modest additional strain. At larger confining pressures, the
Cam cap is intersected, nucleating compaction bands with shear offsets,
and finally compaction bands under hydrostatic loading conditions. Both
of these band types have reduced packing, reduced porosity and
permeability, and for host material having suitably large grain size and
porosity, grain crushing, fragmentation, cataclasis, and strain
hardening. Networks of compaction bands with shear form damage zones
several m wide that later fail by localized faulting.

The approach being used by UNR's Geomechanics--Rock Fracture Group
integrates field observation of shear bands in porous granular rock with
laboratory testing of band localization in soils and rocks and with
relevant theory. The stability and load-carrying capacity of Lunar and
Martian near-surface materials can be predicted and understood by using
these geotechnical methods calibrated where possible by *in situ*
observations and measurements.

### Released: November 16, 1999

On October 27, 1999, the Commission released a Public Notice seeking
comment on a joint submission filed by the administrators for long-term
local number portability, numbering administration, telecommunications
relay services, and universal service support mechanisms.[^1] The Joint
Submission filed by the administrators proposes procedures for gathering
data from telecommunications carriers and other entities through the
recently adopted Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet, which is used
to calculate contributions to each of these four support and cost
recovery mechanisms, and for sharing data between the
administrators.[^2] The Commission directed interested parties to file
comments on the Joint Submission no later than November 29, 1999 and
reply comments no later than December 9, 1999.

The Universal Service Administrative Co. (USAC), administrator for the
universal service support mechanisms, also has filed a letter seeking to
be designated as the entity responsible for the data collection for
these programs.[^3] A copy of this letter has been placed in CC Docket
No. 98-171 and is available for reference in the FCC Reference Room, 445
Twelfth Street, S.W., Room CY-A257.[^4] Parties that wish to comment on
the USAC letter should do so in their comments to the Joint Submission.

Re: Call Sign: E7818

SES-MFS-20050324-00342

Dear Mr. Miller:

On March 24, 2005, Schlumberger Technology Corporation ("Schlumberger")
filed the above-captioned application to modify its existing
Conventional Ku-Band[^1] license[^2] to add new antennas to operate in
the Extended Ku-Band[^3] as well as portions of the Conventional
Ku-Band.[^4] This modification application also requested authority to
add ANIK-F2 and AMAZONAS-1 as Points of Communication. Pursuant to
Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission\'s rules, 47 C.F.R. §
25.112(a)(1), we dismiss this application as defective because of
internal inconsistencies in the power levels provided and incompleteness
in regard to Points of Communication for certain frequency bands.

Specifically, the Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) density
you provide in the application does not agree with that derived from the
accompanying engineering data. In Schedule B, Item E49, you indicate
that the maximum EIRP Density per carrier is -21 dBW/4 kHz for the
emission 1M04G7D. This value is inconsistent with the possible value of
34.85 dBW/4kHz calculated from the 59.0 dBW EIRP in Item E48 for the
13.75-14.0 GHz band. Given this inconsistency, we cannot determine the
actual emission power in use.

Additionally, your application requests authority for this earth station
to receive transmissions in the 10.95-11.2 and 11.45-12.2 GHz bands. We
note that the ANIK-F2 does not use any of these bands. We also note that
AMAZONAS-1 does not have a beam that covers North America that uses the
10.95-11.2 and 11.45-11.7 GHz bands. Applicants must list specific
satellites as points of communication when using the 10.95-11.2 and
11.45-11.7 GHz bands. Because we cannot determine the satellites with
which you seek to communicate in these bands, your application is
defective in this regard.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1)[^5] of the Commission\'s
rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission's
rules on delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, we dismiss your
application as defective without prejudice to refiling.[^6]

Sincerely,

Scott A. Kotler
