Announcements ****************   1.1:  WELCOME: Jeff Goecker, Birck’s new Communications Specialist.  Jeff’s responsibilities will include the website and print media.  He looks forward to meeting everyone and learning about the research done in Birck.  He will be instrumental in getting the “word” out to the world about our Center.  Jeff’s office is BRK 1289, phone 47716, and e-mail jgoecker@purdue.edu   1.2:  WELCOME: Joerg Appenzeller, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Scientific Director for Nanoelectronics.  Joerg’s office is BRK 1027C, phone 41076, and e-mail appenzeller@purdue.edu   1.3:  CLEANROOM SHUT DOWN: September 4 and 5        LABS PROCESSES SHUT DOWN: September 6   Our schedule for the fall semi annual cleanroom PM is set for September 4 and 5, 2007 starting at 7:30 AM.  The east & west lab PM is set for September 6, 2007 starting at 7:30 AM.  All cleanroom and labs processes will be shut down during these times.   During the Cleanroom shut on September 4 & 5 the following systems will be down affecting the ENTIRE BUILDING, due to no chemical exhaust systems: Ultra pure water; All toxic gases; H2 generator   Both east and west lab wings will down all day on September 6.   Since the chemical exhaust systems will be down, all chemicals are required to be removed from all fume hoods prior to 4:00 P.M. on the day before the PM start date (Cleanroom Sep 3 and Labs Sep 5). Any chemicals left in fume hoods after this time will be remove prior to shut down.   Please contact Mark Voorhis with any questions or concerns (mvoorhis@purdue.edu <a href="mailto:mvoorhis@purdue.edu"><mailto:mvoorhis@purdue.edu></a> ; 43036).     **************** 2.
