**FCC COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS REACTS TO RELEASE OF\
LONG-AWAITED TRIENNIAL REVIEW DECISION**

***Order Preserves Competitive Tools***

***But Endangers Broadband Competition and Innovation***

Washington, D.C.---Commissioner Michael J. Copps reacted today to the
release of the Commission's long-awaited Triennial Review decision:
"Seven years ago Congress enacted a sweeping reform of our
telecommunications laws. In doing so, it sought to replace the heritage
of monopoly with the vitality of competition. Today, we preserve
essential tools to foster voice competition in the local market. We
accord the states an enhanced role to ensure that voice competition
continues to grow. These actions will help us secure lower prices and
higher quality services for American consumers. This is the good news.

"The bad news is that this decision plays fast and loose with the
country's broadband future." Copps continued: "Make no mistake about it,
today's decision chokes off competition in broadband. Consumers,
innovation, entrepreneurs and the Internet itself are going to suffer.

"Instead of preserving, protecting and defending competition, the
Commission has torn away access to the network architectures that
undergird broadband competition. As a result, consumers, including our
nation's small businesses---the engines of so much entrepreneurial
activity and economic growth---may well be stuck without competitive
choices and prices when it comes to critical broadband services. This is
not a brave new world of broadband, but simply the old system of local
monopoly dressed up in a digital cloak.

"We may be headed in the direction of a broadband policy blackout from
which we will not soon recover. Down the road are the dark consequences
of a decision to reclassify broadband service and further close off
access to essential facilities. At risk is our unfettered access to the
information, content and technologies the Internet has to offer. If the
Commission continues this course apace, Americans will find that
broadband networks---the roads, bridges and canals of the 21^st^
century---will be the province of the few instead of opportunity for the
many."

The release of today's Order comes six months after the FCC adopted and
announced its decision. Copps said: "When this item was adopted, I
stated that the Commission needed to find ways to improve its internal
processes. The half year it has taken us to release this decision makes
this even clearer. The procedure followed here, and also in our media
concentration proceeding, demonstrates the need for some attention to
this area."

***Economic Injury Loans for Small Businesses***

SBA Disaster Assistance--Field Operations Center East-One Baltimore
Place, Suite 300-Atlanta, GA 30308

**Release Date:** September 26, 2007 **Contact:** Michael Lampton

**Release Number:** 07-726, PA 10795 **Phone:** 404-347-3771

**Deadline To Apply**

**For SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans Is October 25**

**ATLANTA -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is reminding
businesses in the State of Pennsylvania that Economic Injury Disaster
Loans (EIDLs) are still available to small businesses economically
impacted by a fire at Founder's Crossing on January 11, 2007.

"Small businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the
disaster and want to apply for\
low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the **October
25** deadline," said Frank Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations
Center East**.**

Small businesses may apply for loans up to \$l.5 million if they
suffered substantial economic injury from the disaster. These working
capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable,
and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
These loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.

Small Businesses in Bedford County and the contiguous counties of Blair,
Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon and Somerset in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, as well as Allegany County in the State of Maryland, are
eligible to apply.

The interest rate on these loans is 4 percent, with a maximum term of 30
years. The SBA determines the amount of economic injury and the terms of
each loan based on the financial circumstances of each borrower.

To obtain a loan application, interested business owners should contact
SBA's Customer Service Center by calling 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339
for the hearing-impaired) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT. Business disaster loan
applications can also be downloaded from the SBA's website at
[*www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance*](http://www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance).
Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business
Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport
Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

**The deadline for economic injury applications is [October 25,
2007.]{.underline}**

In its Report and Order in GN Docket No. 01-74, the Commission adopted
the reallocation of the 598-746 MHz Spectrum Band (television channels
52-59) from use by television broadcasters to new uses on a flexible
basis.[^1] The Commission also stated that it would consider requests by
incumbent broadcasters on channels 52-58 to voluntarily vacate their
NTSC channels prior to the end of the DTV transition on a case-by-case
basis.[^2]

The Media Bureau has received a request from KJLA, LLC, the licensee of
analog television station KJLA(TV), NTSC Channel 57, Ventura,
California, and permittee of digital television station KJLA-DT, DTV
Channel 49, Ventura, California,[^3] for Commission authority to: (i)
cease analog broadcasting on NTSC Channel 57 and surrender its license
for the channel prior to the end of the DTV transition; and (ii)
thereafter operate KJLA-DT as a single channel, digital-only television

Dear Mr. Eskin,

We are writing to you regarding the estate of Sam Eskin. We hope that
you will help us verify that you (and possibly others) are the heir(s)
of Sam Eskin. Copies of works by Sam Eskin were part of the large
research library of recordings assembled by Alan Lomax. They were housed
at the Alan Lomax Archive in New York, NY until March of 2004 when they
were moved to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. There they
will be heard, admired, and studied by people from all over the world.
The Library of Congress has agreed to make it a priority to preserve and
digitize this important collection.

**The LHCb Vertex detector**

The LHCb Vertex Detector (VELO) is a key component of the LHCb
experiment and is  due to take data in 2008. The VELO will operate in a
harsh radiation environment, in vacuum, only 8mm from the LHC beam.  A
description of the design, prototyping and construction of the VELO
modules is given together with details of their performance in the
laboratory and testbeam. How the modules are integrated into the
experiment is discussed. The current status of the VELO is presented.
LHCb requires the replacement of the VELO after 3-4 years of operation.
Details of the replacement VELO due for completion in 2010 are also
given. Limitations of the current design are presented together with a
brief discussion on possible technological strategies for an upgrade of
the LHCb vertex detector.

Laser Material Interactions (Ablation)

R.E. Russo

This BES-supported program studies fundamental physical mechanisms
underlying laser ablation processes. Ablation is a process in which a
high-powered pulsed laser beam interacts with a solid sample, producing
vapor and leaving a small crater at the sample surface. Fundamental
issues addressed are elucidation of ablation mechanisms; primarily,
electron emission, mass ablation rate (amount of mass ablated versus
laser pulses) and stoichiometric ablation (chemical composition of the
ablated mass vapor compared to the original sample material). Mass
spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy and imaging are all utilized to
study ablation processes; the data from these studies are related to
proposed fundamental models. The research emphasizes laser ablation at
atmospheric pressure because of a significant number of applications of
importance to the DOE. The BES research has helped push the development
of laser ablation for chemical analysis applications -- using a laser to
sample and characterize chemical contamination or impurities.

Laser ablation has been demonstrated as a powerful technology for direct
solid sample chemical analysis, for synthesizing new materials (e.g.
nanomaterials, catalysts, specialized sensor material), and for
micromachining. These technological areas are of critical importance to
DOE counter terrorism efforts. Laser ablation can identify picogram and
femtogram levels of explosive and nuclear constituents within
micron-sized samples (for example, particles collected on clothes or
hair). Remote, stand-off characterization is possible for some
applications. Rapid response chemical characterization is a highlight
capability of laser ablation for chemical analysis. Also, many new
sensors for airborne and/or aqueous monitoring will be based on
nanomaterials and nanostructures in devices. Laser ablation is an ideal
technology to fabricate new nanomaterials sensor compounds.

**Penetrometer Testing of Transparent Granular Medium**

Masahiro Toiya, Wolfgang Losert

University of Maryland, College Park

We present the results of the direct observation of 3D particle
rearrangement due to penetration of a solid rod (penetrometer) through a
granular medium. Rod penetration is a commonly used method in civil
engineering for evaluation of soil strength, but whether the existing
models can be simply extrapolated to vastly different conditions is
unknown. The simplicity of the rod penetration method makes it suitable
for evaluation of soil strength in harsh environments.  In order to
conduct penetration experiments in lunar or Martian regolith, however,
critical tests of the theoretical models are necessary.  We investigate
the connection between the forces experienced by the rod, and the
rearrangement of particles within the bulk. For detailed imaging of the
interior of the granular material, transparent, polydisperse, and
irregularly shaped silica particles immersed in index matching fluid are
used.  Particle motion is observed by confocal microscopy from the
bottom boundary up to 100 particle diameters above.  Preliminary results
indicate that rearrangements spread furthest not directly under the
penetrometer but in a ring around the penetrometer.  In addition, the
preparation of the material influences the particle rearrangements. 
Material compacted under shear exhibits anisotropic particle
rearrangements under penetrometer testing.

Important Information Concerning the Federal Employee Health Benefits
Program: Revision of Health Benefits Election Form, Standard Form 2809

**FLYER**

Benefits 04-42

November 9, 2004

**TO: Chief, HRMS**

######## SUBJ: Federal Employees Health Benefits Program: Revision of Health Benefits Election 

########  Form, Standard Form 2809

This flyer announces the issuance of the Office of Personnel
Management's Benefits Administration Letter (BAL) 04-405. The BAL
advises agencies and retirement systems that the Health Benefits
Election Form, SF 2809 has been revised. BAL 04-405 is available for
viewing and downloading at
<http://www.opm.gov/retire/asd/pdf/2004/04-405.pdf>.

Effective immediately, the **October 2004 edition supersedes all
previous editions of the form and makes obsolete the Annuitant/OWCP
Health Benefits Election Form, SF 2809-1**. The newly revised SF 2809
now includes information from the SF 2809-1 in order to maintain only
one Health Benefits Election Form for all enrollee categories.

Significant changes to the newly revised SF 2809 include a new Table of
Permissible Changes. There are now **five** Tables of Permissible
Changes in Enrollment that are organized by enrollee category. Each
category is designed by a number that identifies the enrollee group. It
is suggested that Human Resources (HR) specialists print off a copy of
the new tables for quick reference. In addition, the SF 2809 is now
consistent with the electronic FEHB enrollment format that corresponds
to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

**HR offices are advised that employees must use the newly revised SF
2809 when enrolling or making open season changes**; however, employees
should be strongly encouraged to use Employee Express (EEX). HR offices
that have questions regarding EEX may contact their local EEX liaison
with any questions. Also, HR offices are advised that the SF 2809 will
no longer be stocked at the VA depot

Questions regarding this flyer may be directed to Therese M. Kilgore at
(202) 273-8258 or Elizabeth A. White at (202) 273-9801, or Deborah K.
