**STATEMENT OF\
COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS**

Re: *Paxson Communications License Company, LLC (Assignor) and
Univision*

*Communications, Inc. (Assignee) For Consent to the Assignment of the
License*

*for Station KTFF(TV), Porterville, California* (File No.
BALCT-20020730ABO,

While I support today's decision, I would have preferred an outcome
whereby the Commission resolved all issues simultaneously with the grant
of assignment that was made back in 2003. The petitioner has raised
genuine questions about, among other things, possible violations of the
right to reject rule and time option rule. Yet by segregating the
license transfer from questions about the licensee's compliance with our
rules, analysis of serious issues is put off and denied timely
resolution. So I urge the Commission to move forward and resolve these
underlying questions---without further delay.

**[Project]{.underline}**: Northern Transit Interlocal

**[Organization]{.underline}**: Northern Transit Interlocal

**[Project Description]{.underline}**

North Central Montana's prairies are home to more cattle than people. In
the last decade the population has dwindled making small town Montana
even smaller. Shelby, Conrad, Cut Bank and Browning struggle to keep
businesses local and profitable. Sunburst, Dutton, and similar size
towns have lost grocery stores and pharmacies. Private bus lines
eliminated routes in the last decade. It was just not profitable for
them to operate.

North Central Montana decided to take action. The communities of Shelby,
Conrad and Cut Bank and Toole, Pondera and Glacier counties formed
Northern Transit Interlocal in the fall of 2005. The six entities formed
an Interlocal committed to re-initiating, governing and sustaining a
regional transportation program for the benefit of the residents and
visitors of North Central Montana. Two Area Agencies on Aging donated
time and a vehicle for the Interlocal to succeed. Both Area Agencies had
established transportation systems within parts of the region but
realized that a regional system would benefit not only the elderly but
also all ages. "WE are all in this together," stated Deb Pate, Area III
Agency on Aging out of Conrad.

Funds necessary to create and sustain the service were secured from
various sources, including the city and county governments, Montana
Department of Transportation, Opportunity Link, and Northwest
Healthcare.

"Lack of access to affordable and convenient transportation is a barrier
to people meeting their basic needs. Transportation is a priority in our
work plan. Collaborating with entities to develop new transit programs
or to expand the services of existing providers is one way we can begin
to break down the fundamental roots perpetuating poverty," stated
Terrance Munson, Executive Director of Opportunity Link. This statement
was made with the donation of an \$80,000 check from Opportunity Link.

Montanans are independent and appreciate the unique beauty of the
Eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Change is blowing in the region
and transportation is one of the keys of this transformation.

**Loan Officers Receive Award from USDA Rural Development**

**Sacramento, CA -- June 23, 2004** -- As part of a National
Homeownership Month celebration, USDA Rural Development in California
held a ceremony on the west steps of the Capitol to recognize housing
partners throughout California. As part of this celebration, the State's
top three guaranteed rural housing mortgage lenders were recognized for
the significant impact made in assisting homebuyers throughout
California realize the dream of homeownership.

Quentin West with McMillin Mortgage had a total loan volume in 2003 of
\$5.6 million. Loans were made in Brawley, including Parkside Estates
subdivision, and other eligible rural areas of Imperil County. This loan
activity represented nearly 15% of all USA guaranteed rural housing
loans made in California during 2003.

Susan King, Home Savings, located in Yucca Valley, originated 45 USDA
guaranteed housing loans during 2003 totaling over \$4.2 million. Ms.
King began using the USDA guaranteed rural housing loan program in 2003,
and she quickly became the rural housing specialist in the Yucca Valley
area.

Mark Kemp, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. originated over \$8.4 million in
USDA guaranteed rural housing loans in 2003. This loan activity
represents over 21% of all guaranteed loans in California during 2003.

"These loan officers are to be commended for their hard work and
commitment to assisting homebuyers obtain financing for the purchase of
their new homes," said Paul Venosdel, State Director, USDA Rural
Development in California.

USDA Rural Development's guaranteed rural housing loan program helps
moderate income families in rural areas purchase their own home with no
money down. USDA guarantees loans made by mortgage lenders and provides
an incentive to the lender to make loans they may not otherwise approve.
As a result, more rural home buyers are eligible to buy a home with 100%
financing.

For further information on this and other USDA Rural Development loan
programs, contact any USDA Service Center or visit USDA\'s web site at
<http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/ca>.

Hello,

I am writing to express my disappointment with the comments of some
panel members regarding the fact that there is no political will to
replace our current tax system. I can attest to the fact that there is
significant will at the level of individual tax payers frustrated and
burdened (especially at this time of year!) with the complexity of the
current income tax. Conversations I have started recently indicate a
high level of support for a simpler, fairer tax system. Many people I
know including myself support the FairTax proposal. Please be aware that
if panelists are willing to dig down to the grass roots level of
individuals and small businesses, they will find their comments to be
inaccurate.

Sincerely,

Anita Cracauer

Project Title: Advanced Oxidation: Enhanced Charge Separation

> in Metal Oxide Systems

Principal Investigators: T. Rajh and A.D. Trifunac

In the current BES Chemical Sciences supported program "Radiation
Effects in Solids" we study the effects induced by light or ionizing
radiation on nanocrystalline, microporous and mesoporous metal oxide
materials. As a result of excitation, extremely reactive radical species
are formed at interface. The investigation of energy and electron
transfer across the interface has shown that chemistry in these
heterogeneous systems is dominated by surface states. However, because
of the extremely strong reducing and oxidizing power of such radical
species in microporous and mesoporous systems, strong endothermic
reactions occur in these heterogeneous systems and result in permanent
charge separation with significant energy conversion. Surface
modification of nanocrystalline metal oxide nanoparticles, currently
supported by BES Chemical Science program "Photosynthetic Model Systems
for Photochemcial Energy Conversion", was found to induce restructuring
of surface states resulting in extended photoinduced charge separation
to the distances where non excitonic interactions are manifested in a
characteristic spin-correlated radical pair electrons spin polarization.
Charge separation in metal oxide nanoparticles induced by band gap
excitation (light, ionizing radiation or electrochemical) will result in
electron trapping giving color changes that are reversible. When
covalently linked to electron-donating moieties photoinduced charge
separation further extends, ultimately leading to a permanent charge
separation that can be observed as an electrical response or as chemical
transformation of the surrounding redox species.

In work related to counter terrorism we propose to exploit the
exceptional properties of nanoscale materials to utilize charge
separation induced by light or ionizing radiation. Understanding charge
separation processes of radiolytically or photolytically formed radical
species in heterogeneous systems is the key for development of novel
methodologies for degradation of toxins, chemical agents and hazardous
materials. Additionally, by chemical modification of surface sites in
heterogeneous systems significant selective adsorption of the reactants
can be achieved, allowing for efficient degradation of selected
compounds. With light these systems can also be used as sensors of
targeted hazardous chemical.

The West Fire, located on Horse Pasture Plateau, showed little growth
yesterday. The fire exhibited moderate activity to the north, mainly
driven by dense fuels. The south, east and west portions of the fire
showed very little activity. The north section has some potential for
spread. A Type 1 crew will work in that area today. Given current
conditions and the successful efforts of the firefighters, the West Fire
should show minimal growth.

The East Fire, located between Orderville Gulch and the North Fork of
the Virgin River, continued to grow. Cloud cover on Saturday helped
moderate fire activity. A burnout operation on Friday night helped
secure a portion of the east flank of the fire at the North Fork road,
and suppression efforts are underway in that area to hold the fire
there. Crews will continue to secure line on the south and north ends of
the fire. Due to the difficult terrain and mixed fuels, this may take
several days. There are still many pockets of fuel in the interior of
the fire that continue to burn. Smoke may be thick in the canyons below
the fire in the mornings. Record high fire indices, thunderstorms and
rugged terrain remain concerns.

The evacuation of properties in proximity to the fire, ordered by the
Kane County Sheriff's Office, remains in effect. The communities of
Springdale, Mt. Carmel Junction, Mt. Carmel, Orderville, Glendale and
Duck Creek are open and accessible. No commercial properties are closed.

RE: *Bell Atlantic/GTE Merger Order*, CC Docket No. 98-184

Dear Mr. Ward:

In the September 26, 2001 *VADI Reintegration Order*, the Common Carrier
Bureau (Bureau) approved Verizon Communications Inc.'s (Verizon) request
to accelerate the re-integration of its advanced services operations
with its incumbent local exchange carriers in light of the *ASCENT*
decision.[^1] In that Order, the Bureau directed Verizon to propose
changes to the *Bell Atlantic/GTE Merger Order*'s Carrier-to-Carrier
Performance Plan as a result of the re-integration, within 30 days of
the Order's release.[^2] Verizon responded with proposed changes on
October 26, 2001.[^3] Verizon and the Bureau subsequently discussed
Verizon's proposal, culminating in Verizon's latest proposal, submitted
December 27, 2001.[^4]

I find that Verizon's proposed changes would properly clarify the
business rules to reflect the re-integration of its advanced services
operations. Verizon should therefore implement the changes immediately.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
You may also contact Mark

Stone in the Common Carrier Bureau directly at (202) 418-0816 for
further information on this matter.

COSPONSOR H.R. 1122

**"THE EMERGENCY SPENDING CONTROL ACT OF 2007"**

Dear Colleague:

The 109^th^ Congress used the vehicle of an 'emergency supplemental' to
fund Hurricane, Tsunami, and avian flu preparations as well as homeland
security needs and funding for the Global war on terror.  Reasonable
people will agree that emergency situations arise, but they also know it
is common sense to ensure that the situation is a TRUE emergency. Also,
citizens expect their government to act similar to the average taxpayer
when budgeting and setting aside money in anticipation of emergencies.

As Members of Congress, we owe it to the American taxpayer to ensure any
new request for emergency spending is thoroughly reviewed and provided
for in the budget. My concern is that of the taxpayer - far too often
the federal government deems additional spending an 'emergency' because
it was not included in the original budget request, and Congress fails
to provide for potential 'emergency' spending needs that can clearly be
anticipated.

H.R. 1122, the Emergency Spending Control Act of 2007 more clearly
defines what constitutes an 'EMERGENCY'.  It will require justification
from a President if he were to submit a funding request designated as an
'emergency.' And, it also creates a separate non-military reserve fund
in the budget in anticipation of such 'emergency' funding needs. 

Last year, the House Budget Committee did set aside money that could be
used in the event of a natural disaster or additional war costs.  It
makes sense to prepare today for what everyone sees coming tomorrow and
that is the intent of my legislation.  Please join me in working to
ensure the emergency designation remains for that of a TRUE emergency
and require the President and Congress to budget for potential emergency
needs.  

             **[To become a cosponsor]{.underline}**, or if you would
like additional information about "The Emergency Spending Control Act of
2007," please contact James Miller at x5-5301.

Como la mayoria de todos los fuegos de campo son cuasados por la gente,
todos tenemos la responsabilidad de prevenirlos. Podemos tener más
cuidado en donde quiera que estemos, y tambien podemos influir a otra
gente a tener mas cuidado con las lumbers.

# Fuegos de campamento seguros

Los fuegos de campamento son permitidos en esta area sin un permiso para
fuegos, incluyendo unas areas silvestres. Restricciones temporareas
serán impuestas si existe un peligro. Haga contacto con la agencia de
proteccion de fuegos que este en su area para mas informacion acerca de
claúsura de carretera o otras restricciones. Usted es responsible por
mantener la seguridad de la lumber de campo y se le puede cobrar los
gastos que ocurrieron por el fuego.

Los daños de fuegos forestales pueden ser severos en el otono y la
primavera cuando las hojas cubren el suelo del bosque. Nunca deje una
fogata desatendida, aunque sea por un corto periodo de tiempo. Cuando se
valla del campamento, riegue la fogata totalmente con agua y desparrame
or entierre las cenizas y cubralas con tierra. Desparrame toda la Madera
que no uso, pero ya que este fria.

Aunque las fogatas puedes ofrecer harmonia y felicidad, tambien pueden
causar dano a la tierra y sus cenizas pueden evitar el crecimiento de
plantas. Piedras negras, Madera quemada, y cenizas acumulada tambien
pueden alterar la aparencia del lugar. Estufas de gas pequenas son mas
eficientes y mas rápidas para cocinar, y dejan menos impacto.

-   Haz fogatas lejos de ramas colgantes, escarpado, troncos, lenos,
    zacate seco, y hojas. Amontona la madera extra lejos de la fogata

-   Manten mucha agua cercas y una pala para aventarle tierra a la
    fogata en caso de que se ponga fuera de control

-   Manten la fogata pequena. Un monton de carbon y una fogata rodeada
    de piedras emiten suficiente calor. Quita cualquier cosa alrededor
    que se pueda quemar, por lo menos un diametro de 10 pies. Esto
    mantendra una fogata pequena.

-   Ahoga la fogata con agua. Una brisa puede causar que la lumbre se
    desparrama. Mueve las piedras. Menea lo que quedo, anide agua, y
    bate otra vez. Asegurate que todo este enfriado y extinguido. Si no
    tienes agua, usa tierra. Mezcla suficiente agua y tierra y arena con
    el rescoldo. Continua mezclando y anadiendo hasta que se apague la
    lumbre. Tienta la fogata con tu mano para ver si esta completamente
    apagada. Asegurate que no haya raíces . No entierres los carbones
    porque se pueden prender.

FUMAR

Cuando se les permite fumar, se requiere que tenga una distancia de 3
pies alrededor del fumador. Apaga el cigarro, puro, o pipa de tabaco en
la tierra. Nunca lo apagues en un tronco o leño. No es seguro que fume
cuando camina o monta caballo en una vereda. Use su cenizero cuando este
en su vehiculo, y no vacie el cenicero en el suelo.

(Project Title)

GENERAL

Corral berms shall be installed in accordance with an animal waste
system plan approved by the responsible technician. Details of
construction shown in the plan but not included herein shall be
considered as a part of this specification. Construction activities
shall be in accordance with applicable OSHA regulations.

EMBANKMENTS

The foundation area for all corral berm embankments shall be cleared of
all weeds, sod, loose rock, manure, or other materials not suitable for
the subgrade.

Moisture content and methods of placement shall be such that a firm,
stable embankment will result.

Compaction shall meet the requirements described below for the
designated method:

[Method 1]{.underline}. [Sheepsfoot Roller]{.underline} -- The maximum
thickness shall be 8 inches before compaction. The roller shall have
staggered, uniformly spaced tamping feet and be equipped with suitable
cleaners. The weight of the roller shall be not less then 2,500 pounds
per foot of width. The maximum speed of the compaction equipment shall
be 3 miles per hour.

The entire surface of each layer placed should receive six passes of
this equipment to attain the necessary compaction. Adjustment in the
number of passes may be necessary during construction.

[Method 2]{.underline}. Pneumatic Tired Equipment -- The maximum layer
thickness before compaction shall be 6 inches. A loaded scraper or wheel
tractor may be considered a pneumatic roller. The wheels of this
equipment must pass over 90 percent of the surface of each lift before a
new lift is placed.

[Method 3]{.underline}. Track Laying Equipment (Bulldozer) -- the
maximum layer thickness before compaction shall be 4 inches. The tracks
of the equipment must pass over 90 percent of the surface of each lift
before a new lift is placed.

Compliance with compaction requirements will be determined by
observation of performance for Methods 1, 2, and 3. Fill not meeting the
specified requirements shall be reworked or removed and replaced with
acceptable fill.

Corral berm embankments shall be constructed to the designated line,
grade, and cross-section.

The top of the constructed ridge shall not be lower at any point than
the design elevation plus 5 percent over-fill for settlement.

**Effect of Chemically Modified Dielectric Interfaces on Semiconducting
Polymer Chain Orientation**

Conjugated organic semiconductors such as poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)
have shown promise for use in applications such as flexible display
technology and radio frequency identification tags. Unlike inorganic
materials, organic device performance is strongly dependent on the
structure and properties of the interfaces between materials. Previous
research has shown that P3HT films spin-coated onto modified dielectric
interfaces can show an increase in the charge carrier mobility
presumably due to changes in microstructure that result in improved π− π
interactions in the plane of charge transport. A clear understanding of
the effect of interfacial properties on the structure and electrical
characteristics of the polymer, however, remains incomplete.

Here, we systematically investigate the influence of interfacial
chemistries on the microstructure of conjugated semiconducting polymers.
Specifically, we use two strategies to vary the interfacial chemistry to
clarify the influence of either surface energy or chemical functionality
on the chain orientation of P3HT. First, linear surface energy gradients
were prepared by systematically oxidizing several aliphatic silane
chemically modified surfaces with a UV ozone lamp. P3HT was spin coated
on top of these substrates and the polymer axis tilt was determined
using Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy.
We find a weak dependence of chain orientation on substrate surface
energy and some dependence on the aliphatic surface functionality.
Second, the chemical functionality at the polymer monolayer-interface
was modified using a versatile monolayer chemistry based on
isocyanate-amine chemistry. This strategy allows the production of
monolayers with aromatic functionality such as thiophene, fluorine, and
pyridine surfaces. We quantify the relative surface coverage of the
reactive units using NEXAFS and characterize the monolayer before
coating with polymer. P3HT exhibited varying levels of field effect
mobility and threshold voltages depending upon the monolayer chemistry
and the solvent from which the polymer was spin coated, even for
surfaces with the same water contact angle. These results suggest that
specific interfacial chemical interactions as well as the film formation
variables (casting solvent) can strongly influence the electrical
properties of semiconducting polymers.
