**Metagenomics of diffuse hydrothermal vents: Determining the
distribution of anaerobic thermophilic life in subseafloor habitats**

Studies indicate the existence of an anaerobic thermophilic subseafloor
biosphere in oceanic crust and show progress in both identifying
indigenous subseafloor microbes and linking their physiology to habitat
characteristics. Because life may have originated and evolved in this
likely analogue of early earth habitats, subseafloor microbes could
retain metabolic, physiological, and genetic characteristics of early
Archaean life. In addition, microbes unique to the subseafloor in
oceanic crust could provide insight into metabolic processes, strategies
for growth, and survival of life forms in the subsurface of solar bodies
with a water history. However, little is known about either the genetic
content or the functional and metabolic potential of these communities.
In light of this, we have constructed large-insert DNA libraries from
low temperature diffuse hydrothermal vent fluids collected from an
active deep-sea volcano, Axial Seamount, in the northeast Pacific Ocean.
The primary goals are to identify the genomic content of the
thermophilic anaerobic subseafloor microbial community and to determine
if a particular kind of chemical environment selects for microbial
lineages or if instead it selects for functions that might be provided
by genes that are laterally transferred between microbes. Results from
the construction, screening, and sequencing of the fosmid libraries will
be presented. Microbial cell counts, geochemistry, 16S rRNA phylogeny,
and culturing results from Axial diffuse vents will be discussed to
provide context to the genomic data sets. The results of this study
highlight a new method for studying linkages between microbial ecology
and geochemical processes in the subseafloor environment.

RE: The tariff classification of Butter Blend Sula from Honduras

Dear Mr. Gonzalez:

In your letters dated January 5, 2004 and January 27, 2004 you requested
a tariff classification ruling.

A sample accompanied your first letter and an ingredients breakdown was
submitted with your second letter. The sample was examined and disposed
of. Butter Blend Sula is a creamy, white-colored liquid composed of 64
percent water, 13 percent fluid cream, 13 percent vegetable oil, 8
percent skim milk solids, one percent sodium chloride, and less than one
percent each of stabilizers, lactic cultures, potassium sorbate, sodium
benzoate, and color. The product is packed for retail sale in a clear
plastic pouch containing 16 ounces, net weight.

The applicable subheading for this product, when imported in quantities
that fall within the limits described in additional U.S. note 10 to
chapter 4, will be 1901.90.4200, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for food preparations of goods of
headings 0401 to 0404, not containing cocoa...not elsewhere specified or
included...other...dairy products described in additional U.S. note 1 to
chapter 4...dairy preparations containing over 10 percent by weight of
milk solids...described in additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4 and
entered pursuant to its provisions. The rate of duty will be 16 percent
ad valorem. If the quantitative limits of additional U.S. note 10 to
chapter 4 have been reached, the product will be classified in
subheading 1901.90.4300, HTS, and dutiable at the rate of \$1.035 per
kilogram plus 13.6 percent ad valorem. In addition, products classified
in subheading 1901.90.4300, HTS, will be subject to additional duties
based on their value, as described in subheadings 9904.04.67 to
9904.04.74, HTS

Articles classifiable under subheading 1901.90.4200, HTS, which are
products of Honduras, are entitled to duty free treatment under the
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA), upon compliance with all
applicable regulations.

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 646-733-3029.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski

**SUBJECT:** **New Vendor for Medicare Part B Claims Adjudication**

The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) has selected a vendor to replace
United Health Care (UHC) concerning Medicare Part B Claims Adjudication.
The replacement vendor is Palmetto Government Benefits Administration,
LLC (Palmetto GBA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield
of South Carolina. You should contact Palmetto GBA to arrange for the
same claims adjudication services UHC has been providing.

**Background**

UHC has had a contract with the RRB to determine the Medicare Limiting
Charge from billed charges of medical doctors (Medicare Part B Claims
Adjudication). Earlier this year UHC announced it is terminating its
contract with the RRB effective June 30, 2000. Fee-for-service carriers
in the FEHB have been contracting individually with UHC for this
service. These contracts will also terminate on June 30, 2000. Although
Palmetto GBA's contract with the RRB is not effective until September 1,
2000, Palmetto GBA may be able to work with UHC to ensure continuous
service during the interim period between July 1, 2000 and August 30,
2000.

**Palmetto GBA contact**

The contact person at Palmetto GBA is Mr. Bruce Hughes, Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer. His phone number is 803-735-1034,
extension 37130. Addresses are as follows:

##### For regular mail For Overnight deliveries 

###### P. O. Box 100190 17 Technology Circle

## Statement on CBS News Stories Aired November 13 and 14

> WASHINGTON -- Every suicide in America is a tragedy. VA cares about

> VA strongly encourages veterans who may be considering harming

> with PTSD, depression and other mental health problems.
>
> VA operates the largest mental health care system in the country,
> spending \$3 billion each year on its mental health programs, and has
> taken several measures to increase its mental health services in
> recent years. Those include new programs bringing mental health into
> primary care, intensified rehabilitation for those with serious mental
> illnesses, and expanded programs for homeless veterans and those with
> substance abuse problems.
>
> VA is concerned that the data CBS presented in its broadcast was not
> reviewed by independent scientists as most legitimate academic studies
> are. Regardless of this questionable journalistic tactic, VA takes the
> problem of suicide very seriously and wants veterans to come to VA for
> help if they are under stress or in crisis.
>
> VA is constantly reviewing scientific findings, both from our own
> research and that of others, to guide us in improving care for
> veterans. We are reviewing the limited information that CBS has made
> available to us and are accelerating our own research to ensure we are
> doing everything possible to improve the information available to the
> medical and research communities about suicides in veterans as a means
> of better understanding how to prevent these tragedies.

**§17.197 Amount of aid payable.**

The amount of aid payable to a recognized State home shall be at the per
diem rates established by title 38 U.S.C., section 1741(a)(1) for
domiciliary care; and section 1741(a)(3) for hospital care. In no case
shall the payments made with respect to any veteran exceed one-half of
the cost of the veteran's care in the State home. VA will publish the
actual per diem rates, whenever they change, in a *Federal Register*
notice. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1741)

MEMORANDUM

To: Mike Batutis

From: Matthew Christenson

Date: October 14, 2004

RE: Lessons Learned: FSCPE Workshop on Demographic Characteristics
Estimates Methods

Per your request, the State and County Demographic Estimates Production
Team met to debrief the workshop we gave to the FSCPE in which we
described the the methods used to produce the state and county
characteristics estimates. This memo summarizes our discussion of what
went well and what could have gone better. We have also attached a
summary of the evaluations given to us by the participants of the
workshop for your reference.

Overall, we feel the workshop was a success. We also have the following
comments.

[What went well]{.underline}:

1)  The workshop was well organized.

2)  The amount of material we planned for each session matched well with
    the time we alloted to cover it.

3)  The presentations were well organized and were delivered smoothly.

4)  The workshop materials were well-constructed.

[What could have gone better]{.underline}:

1)  We could have done a better job communicating with the FSCPEs about
    what to expect from the workshop. In particular, we think it would
    have helped if we did three things differently:

    a.  Thought of a more appropriate label than "workshop." In fact,
        what we gave them was more like a seminar.

    b.  Sent out ahead of time a detailed description of how the event
        was going to be structured and what they could expect.

    c.  Stated more clearly what was "in-scope" and "out-of-scope" both
        in our pre-workshop communication and at the beginning of the
        workshop itself.

2)  We feel it would have been better had we collated all of the
    handouts into the binders ahead of time

3)  We should have planned time at the end of the workshop for the
    participants to fill out the evaluations.

# [Congressman Flake Disappointed that House Leadership Gives House Members Just One Day to Read 534-Page Transportation-HUD Bill](http://flake.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=78637)

## Bill Contains 21 Airdropped Earmarks

**Washington, D.C**. -- Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who
represents Arizona's Sixth District, today expressed disappointment that
the House Leadership will give Members of the House of Representatives
only one day to read and review the Transportation-HUD Appropriations
bill.  The bill is 534 pages, including 141 pages of earmarks.

            The bill also includes 21 airdropped earmarks totaling over
\$24 million.  Airdropped earmarks are earmarks that end up in the
conference report despite the fact that they were approved by neither
the House nor Senate during debate of the bill.  Among the airdropped
earmarks are line items for \$300,000 for construction of a multipurpose
facility in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania and \$400,000 for construction at a
museum in Buffalo, New York.

            **"The new Majority just doesn't seem to get it,"** said
Flake.  **"They came to power by criticizing Republican abuses, and were
justified in doing so.  But now they are committing the same abuses."**

            The bill is loaded with pork projects such as \$150,000 for
the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in Atlanta, Georgia; \$275,000 for the
Berkshire Music Hall in Pittsfield, Massachusetts; \$400,000 to the Bel
Alton High School Alumni Association in Bel Alton, Maryland; \$500,000
for the Los Angeles County Fire Museum in Bellflower, California; two
earmarks totaling \$300,000 to revitalize downtown Clearwater, Florida;
\$150,000 for the Edmunds Art Center in Edmunds, Washington; \$100,000
for Cooters Pond Park in Prattville, Alabama; \$100,000 for the reuse of
a Coca Cola Bottling plant in Romney, West Virginia; \$100,000 to the
Crystal Lake Art Center in Frankfort, Michigan; \$750,000 to the Detroit
Science Center in Detroit, Michigan; and \$300,000 to the Houston Zoo in
Houston, Texas.

Re: Call Sign: KA313 File No.: SES-MOD-20050803-01034

File No.: SES-AMD-20050930-01358

Dear Mr. Fagan:

On August 3, 2005, Telenor Satellites, Inc. (TSI) filed the
above-captioned modification application for authority to add remote
terminals with new antennas to the currently licensed earth station
referenced above. On September 16, 2005, we informed TSI that the
proposed operation using the 169KG7W emission designator exceeded by 5.7
dB the maximum power density of the satellite operator agreement you
provided as an attachment to your application. We therefore requested
that TSI amend the application to resolve this discrepancy. TSI filed
this amendment on September 30, 2005. For the reasons stated below, we
dismiss the application and the amendment, as defective without
prejudice.

As an initial matter, we note that in response to Question 27 on Form
312, TSI indicated, designators and related service. Therefore, we
assume that emissions associated with the in the September 30^th^
amendment, that the purpose of the amendment is to change emission
169KG7W emission designator in the August 3, 2005 application are no
longer being proposed. We also assume that only those emissions in the
amendment are now proposed to be added to the license.

In your amendment, we find that the Maximum EIRP per Carrier which TSI
indicates as 49.5 dBW (item E48) for emission designator 1M52G7W (item
E47) is greater than, and therefore inconsistent with, the Total EIRP
for All Carriers of 43 dBW (item E40) for the 0.75 meter antenna. We
also find analogous inconsistencies for the 0.90 and 0.96 meter
antennas, where, respectively, for the same emission designator, TSI
specifies 50.6 and 51.7 dBW as the Maximum EIRP per Carrier, and 44.1
and 45.2 dBW as the Total EIRP for All Carriers. Given these
inconsistencies, we cannot determine the proposed emission power.

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 25.112(a)(1) and 0.261,[^1] we dismiss
TSI's modification application, as amended, as defective, without
prejudice to refiling.

Sincerely,

**§3.328 Independent medical opinions.**

\(a\) *General.* When warranted by the medical complexity or controversy
involved in a pending claim, an advisory medical opinion may be obtained
from one or more medical experts who are not employees of VA. Opinions
shall be obtained from recognized medical schools, universities, clinics
or medical institutions with which arrangements for such opinions have
been made, and an appropriate official of the institution shall select
the individual expert(s) to render an opinion.

\(b\) *Requests.* A request for an independent medical opinion in
conjunction with a claim pending at the regional office level may be
initiated by the office having jurisdiction over the claim, by the
claimant, or by his or her duly appointed representative. The request
must be submitted in writing and must set forth in detail the reasons
why the opinion is necessary. All such requests shall be submitted
through the Veterans Service Center Manager of the office having
jurisdiction over the claim, and those requests which in the judgment of
the Veterans Service Center Manager merit consideration shall be
referred to the Compensation and Pension Service for approval.

\(c\) *Approval*. Approval shall be granted only upon a determination by
the Compensation and Pension Service that the issue under consideration
poses a medical problem of such obscurity or complexity, or has
generated such controversy in the medical community at large, as to
justify solicitation of an independent medical opinion. When approval
has been granted, the Compensation and Pension Service shall obtain the
opinion. A determination that an independent medical opinion is not
warranted may be contested only as part of an appeal on the merits of
the decision rendered on the primary issue by the agency of original

**Morphological Studies of Crystallization in Thin Films of PEO/PMMA
Blends**

*Brian Okerberg and Hervé Marand*

Morphological development during crystallization of thin films of
poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) / poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends has
been reported. Studies focused on the effects of the blend composition,
PMMA molecular weight, film thickness, and crystallization temperature
on the observed crystal morphology. As the blend composition was varied
from 90 to 30 wt% PEO, the crystal morphology varied from spherulites to
needles and dendrites. Variation of the crystallization temperature and
PMMA molecular weight resulted in similar changes in morphology. A
morphological map demonstrating the roles of the experimental controls
on the observed crystal morphology has been developed. This map was used
as a tool for more detailed studies of the observed morphologies and
morphological transitions. The dendritic region of the map (\~ 30 -- 40
wt% PEO) was studied in detail, focusing on sidebranch formation and
coarsening. In-situ observations of morphological transitions, such as
dendrite/DBM and DBM/needle transitions, were also reported. The results
of this work have helped to define new directions for the study of
crystal morphologies, especially in the areas of spherulite formation
and dendritic growth.

**[WDB Opening Remarks, STB Hearing─Paper Barriers,
7/27/2006]{.underline}**

Good morning. I'd like to call this hearing to order, and welcome
everyone here today for the Surface Transportation Board's public
hearing on Paper Barriers, in the proceeding entitled STB Ex Parte No.
575. I am pleased that today's hearing is being simultaneously
video-webcast and is available for viewing through the Board's website.
I'd like to welcome all those who are tuned in and watching over the
internet, in addition to those who are here in person.

Vice Chairman Mulvey and I are aware of concerns that have been raised
about so-called "paper barriers." The Western Coal Traffic League has
filed a renewed petition requesting that the Board adopt rules to limit
the extent to which agreements for the sale or lease of railroad lines,
by larger railroads to existing or newly created short line railroads,
may contain paper barriers that restrict the incentive or the ability of
the purchaser or tenant to interchange traffic with connecting carriers
that could compete with the seller or landlord carrier. The Board has
received written comments from interested parties in response to the
petition, and the Board is holding this public hearing to further
explore this matter.

With that background, let's turn to today's hearing. We have a number of
interested parties that will testify. Some of the questions that may be
raised concern our statutory authority to address pre-existing paper
barriers, the short and long term economic effects of paper barriers,
the specific proposals for action from those opposed to paper barriers,
and other matters discussed in our notice announcing the public hearing.

In particular, there is a threshold issue that we would like the parties
to address. There has been discussion about antitrust immunity attaching
to these transactions resulting from Board approval. The vast majority
of these transactions, however, appear to have been approved under 49
U.S.C. 10901 and, more recently, 49 U.S.C. 10902 enacted by ICCTA, or
have been exempted from those provisions. But, under our statute,
Federal antitrust immunity is specifically conferred only on
transactions approved under, or exempted from the provisions of, 49
U.S.C. 11321 - 11328. Thus, participants should address whether
interchange restrictions created by short line spin-offs under sections
10901 and 10902 are subject to Federal antitrust law and whether parties
are able to pursue relief in court under those laws.

The Board, of course, must maintain an open mind about all these issues
until all of the testimony, both oral and written, has been given full
consideration.
FORMATION OF METAL-SEMICONDUCTOR AXIAL NANOWIRE HETEROSTRUCTURES THROUGH
CONTROLLED SILICIDATION

[Phillip T. Barton]{.underline}, Ruth Schlitz, Shixiong Zhang, Lincoln
J. Lauhon\*

Northwestern University, Department of Materials Science and
Engineering, Evanston, IL 60201, lauhon@northwestern.edu

Semiconductor nanowires are one class of building block that shows
promise for application in digital electronics and computing within a
bottom-up paradigm for nanotechnology. The metal catalyzed
vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism enables control of size,
composition, morphology, and structure, allowing nanowire properties to
be tailored for a specific application. One challenge to their
implementation is the reliable formation of low resistance ohmic
electrical contacts. Metal-semiconductor axial nanowire heterostructures
often have atomically abrupt coherent interfaces and therefore can be
ideal electrical contacts. In this work, nickel-silicide/silicon axial
nanowire heterostructures were formed by partial silicidation of silicon
nanowires contacted lithographically by nickel. During rapid thermal
anneal (450 °C for 1 to 5 minutes in forming gas), nickel diffuses from
the lithographically defined contact into the silicon nanowire and
converts a section of it into nickel-silicide. Prior to annealing,
two-terminal nanowire devices had non-linear and asymmetric
current-voltage behavior indicative of poor electrical contacts. After
the formation of heterostructure contacts, nanowire devices carried
increased current, pointing to reduced contact resistance, and a larger
fraction exhibited linear current-voltage characteristics. These results
are attributed to the differences between the lithographically defined
polycrystalline nickel and the nickel-silicide, which we expect to be
single crystal and the heterostructure contact interface to be
epitaxial, coherent, and atomically abrupt. A study of the silicidation
kinetics was also conducted by measuring the length of the silicide
using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM). As
a fast and economical alternative to SEM, a midpoint intensity OM
technique was shown, as verified by SEM, to have a high resolution of ±
0.1 μm. Analysis revealed a linear growth rate of 0.2 μm/min, suggesting
that the rate is limited by the silicidation reaction at the interface.
A related study by Appenzeller et. al analyzed the diameter dependence
of nanowire silicidation and found that diffusion takes place through
the core of the wire as opposed to at the surface. The reduced contact
resistance, combined with improved current-voltage behavior and
controllable silicidation make such metal-semiconductor heterostructures
a promising option for making reliable electrical contact to
semiconductor nanowires.
