## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**Use the head tilt-chin lift maneuver to open a patient’s airway, regardless if he / she is injured. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**Take a normal breath prior to giving a rescue ventilation.**** **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**For all ages, give ventilations that are approximately 1 second in length.**

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**If normal breathing is not present in an adult, give two ventilations and start CPR, beginning with compressions**

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**Rescue ventilations without chest compressions will no longer be recommended to be taught to the lay rescuer in coming to the assistance of an adult patient. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**Use one or two hands, centered on the chest at about the nipple line, to provide chest compressions on a child. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**Use two fingers, just below the nipple line, to provide chest compressions on an infant. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**During CPR, use a 30:2 compression to ventilation ratio for all ages. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**When other responders are available, rotate the compressor role about every two minutes to prevent compressor fatigue. Switch quickly (less than five seconds) to minimize interruption of compressions. Do not reassess. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**When alone and caring for a child or infant found unresponsive and not breathing, provide approximately 2 minutes of CPR (5 cycles of 30 compressions:2 breaths) prior to activating EMS and getting an AED. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**Once started, continue CPR until an AED is attached, the patient moves or until another CPR or EMS responder takes over your care. **

## FOH AED Program

*GUIDELINE CHANGES*

**If directed by the AED, deliver a single shock, followed immediately by 5 cycles or approximately 2 minutes of CPR.**

## First Accounts:Combining High-Touch and Hi-Tech Ways to Bank the Unbanked

- Margaret J. Henningsen
- Founder and Vice-President

## Legacy Bank

- Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- $185 Million in Assets
- Approx 4,500 customers
- Opened for business in July 1999
- First women in the history of state to charter a commercial bank
- First woman founded bank holding company in the country
- Fastest growing community bank from 2002-2004
- Awards/grants of over 2 million

## Genesis of the Strategy

- Major banks did not meet the needs of the community, i.e. closed branches in target communities, reduced services of remaining branches
- No one focused on serving the underserved and/or banking the unbanked
- Personal experience of the founders – barriers to getting all of the deals done

## First Accounts Strategy

- Partnerships with nonfinancial institutions to attract customers
- Strong educational component
- Effective Account Monitoring System
- Incorporated into mission

## Performance to Date

- Average number of customers consistently exceeded 1,000
- Anticipate 20% of those customers to become loan customers per year generating interest and fee income
- Brings in deposits  - over $9 million in two years
- Generates additional business from traditional market

## Paths to asset Building

- Customers use other loan products and move from the unbanked product to other bank products such as CDs.
- Noticeable behavior changes as average balances have continued to increase during the term of the pilot program

## Critical Success Factors

- Commitment to educational component
- Formation of partnerships with institutions that serve the target market
- Product that fits needs of the unbanked

## Challenges

- Time consuming – more than we expected in the beginning
- High maintenance customers who rely on the bank for advice and for follow-up when things go wrong(customer has overdrafts or suspected fraud)
- Trial and error with the products in the beginning

## Institutional Fit

- Any financial institution can implement a product/program for banking the unbanked.

## Laws & PoliciesApplicable to Procurement of Launch ServicesFebruary 15, 2005

## Laws & Policy Considerations

**42 USC 2459c – Contracts Regarding Expendable Launch Vehicles**
- NASA may enter into contracts for ELV launch services that are for periods in excess of the period for which funds are otherwise available for obligation, with certain limitations
**42 USC 14731 – Commercial Space Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-303)**
- USG shall acquire space transportation services from United States commercial providers
- U.S. commercial provider defined as U.S. company more than 50% owned by U.S. nationals, or a U.S. subsidiary of a foreign company with past evidence of substantial investment in U.S. and the foreign country offers reciprocal opportunity for domestic subsidiaries of a U.S. companies to participate in similar procurements by the foreign government
**Cross-Waivers of Liability**
**ELV Cross-Waiver (14 CFR § 1266.104)** – waives liability between NASA and the launch service contractor for damages resulting from Protected Space Operations
**ISS Cross-Waiver (14 CFR § 1266.102)** – waives liability between an ISS Partner State/Entity and other Partner States/Entities for damages resulting from Protected Space Operations

## Laws & Policy Considerations(Continued)

**50 USC 1701 – Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-178)**
- No USG agency may make extraordinary payments in connection with the International Space Station to certain Russian entities without a Presidential determination
- Extraordinary payments means payments in cash or in kind made for work on the ISS or for the purchase of any goods or services relating to human space flight
**2004 National Space Transportation Policy**
- EELV shall be used for launch of intermediate & large payloads to maximum extent possible
- USG departments and agencies shall purchase commercially available U.S. space transportation products and services to maximum extent possible
- USG payloads shall be launched on space launch vehicles manufactured in the U.S., unless exempted by Director, OSTP

## Technical ConsiderationsLaunch Vehicle Certification

**  ****NPD 8610.7 “Launch Services Risk Mitigation Policy for NASA-Owned or NASA-Sponsored Payloads **
**  ****Launch vehicle certification requirements dependant on Mission****       value/criticality/complexity**
**   ****Category 1: Low cost, Non-mission critical payload, relatively simple**
**   ****Category 2: Med cost, Mission critical payload, medium complexity**
**   ****Category 3: High cost, Mission critical payload, high complexity**
**      ****Required demonstrated  flight history varies by Mission Category**
**  ****Category 1: No previous flight required (High Launch Risk)**
**   ****Category 2: At least 1 successful flight required (Med Launch Risk)**
**   ****Category 3: Seek 14* consecutive successful flights  or evolved systems can****     employ additional technical penetration to offset lower flight rate (Low ****     Launch Risk) ****(* 95% probability of success with 50% confidence level)****  **

## Although there is little “memory” to speak of for individual weather event beyond the limit of predictability, the statistical behavior of all weather events as a whole in a spatial domain at any given time may still well be dictated by a “lingering memory” stored in the “state of the atmosphere”, which can be measured by an integral of large-amplitude synoptic scale anomalies over a given spatial domain.

## To be valuable for individual users, the skill level of forecast sets should be comparable to the performance of “forecasts of opportunity” for the strong ENSO event.

- Useful skill information can be extracted from CPC long-lead forecast history by discriminating information according to season, situation and location as well as by considering of performance measures and attributes.

- Washington, DC 20036
- WWW.portmod.org

- Talking Freight seminar
- September 21, 2005
- Robin LanierExecutive Director, The Waterfront Coalition

**National Marine Container Transportation System****A CALL TO ACTION**

## The Scope . . .

- 25.2 million TEU traveled through US ports in 2004.
- 50% of containers handled on the West Coast.
- 70% of U.S. Imports come from Asia.
- 40% of containerized imports enter the U.S. through Los Angles/Long Beach

## The Scope . . .

- Forecasts call for a doubling of trade in the next ten years.
- Containerized trade is focused on congested gateways.
- Growth affects highways and railroads.  In 2004, 2 to 3 days of additional transit time because of congestion.

## Why do we care?

- Higher inventory carrying costs for business.  JIT is moving to JIC.
- Higher prices for consumers.
- Lost markets for exporters.
- More highway congestion for communities.
- Environmental concerns.
- Community push back.

## Action Needed Now To:

- Improve port productivity,
- Develop alternate Western gateways,
- Promote all-water routes to the East Coast**,**
- Increase intermodal rail investment,
- Develop better forecasting and metrics,
- Develop highway priorities.

## Improve Port Productivity by:

- Making harbor trucking a profitable business,
- Operating ports during extended hours,
- Dealing with free time and chassis,
- Spreading out vessel sailings and arrivals in the trans-Pacific trade to make maximum use of terminal capacity.

## Provide more sailings to alternate Western ports,
Improve rail services in Oakland, Portland, Seattle and Tacoma,
Address the issues that preclude Oakland as a transload center.

- Improve rail services in Oakland, Portland, Seattle and Tacoma,
- Address the issues that preclude Oakland as a transload center.

**Develop Alternate Gateways**

## Develop Alternate Gateways

- More sailings through the Suez Canal,
- Expand the Panama Canal to take larger ships.

## Intermodal Rail Investment

- Provide tax incentives to improve ROI on intermodal rail investments,
- Focus attention on key East-West interchanges,
- Key projects needed to support freight corridors,
- Move cautiously on shuttle-train projects.

## Forecasting and Metrics

- Develop best practices for measuring terminal capacity and productivity,
- Develop forecasting models for importers, exporters and other stakeholders that will allow adjustments to trade flows.

## Highway Priorities

- Develop a national freight policy,
- Focus on the priorities first – THEN the financing!
- Develop key port connector projects,
- Provide assistance to short-haul truckers for equipment,
- Develop truck-only lanes near ports.

## Conclusion

- Maintaining the health of the containerized freight system is essential to US interests.
- The public sector has a role in setting policy and helping identify financing.
- The private sector MUST change business practices over the short term.

## Revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) 

- Cecilia Ho
- Office of Natural and Human Environment
- Environmental Conference
- Washington DC
- June 2008

## Revised Air Quality Standards

- 8-hour Ozone Standard (March 2008; May 2008 eff.)
- Lowered to 0.075 ppm (from 0.08 ppm)
- PM-2.5 Standard
- Annual standard retained at 15 mg/m3
- Lowered daily standard to 35 mg/m3 (65 mg/m3)
- PM-10 Standard (Sept 2006; Dec 2006 eff.)
- Annual standard revoked
- Daily standard retained at 150 mg/m3

## Slide 3

## Slide 4

## EPA’s Preliminary Implementation Timeline

| Milestone | 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS | 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Promulgation of standard | Sept. 2006 | March 2008 |
| Effective date of standard | Dec. 2006 | May 2008 |
| State designation recommendations to EPA | Dec. 2007 | No later than March 2009 |
| Final designations (may extend up to 1 yr) | No later than Dec 2008 | No later than March 2010 |
| Designations effective | ~ March 2009 | ~ June 2010 |
| SIPs due | ~ March 2012 | ~ June 2013 |
| Attainment dates | 2013-2030 (depends on severity) | No later than 5 years after effective date of designation; may extend up to 5 more yrs |

## Revised NAAQS Implications

- Conformity Applies 1-Year After Effective Date of Designations
- PM2.5 ~ March 2010
- 8-hour ozone ~June 2011
- [Until EPA revokes the “old” standards, they are still officially in effect.]
- NEPA
- EPA guidance on PM2.5 standards issued on June 25, 2007

## Other NAAQS

- Lead NAAQS
- EPA proposes to lower the standards to within a range of 0.1 and 03 mg/m3 (from the existing 1.5 mg/m3)
- Final rule expected in Sept. 2008
- May not have direct impacts on highway projects but may impact projects that are subject to general conformity (e.g., intermodal facilities)
- Others : CO, NO2, and PM.

## What are the issues?

- Transition from the old to the revised (new standards)
- Depends on whether the “old” standards will be retained or revoked
- Possible impacts on conformity and NEPA
- Anticipation of another round of conformity rule amendments

## How can we assist and prepare State DOTs and MPOs?

- Provide information/update
- Encourage them to work with air agencies on designations
- Establish interagency consultation (especially for new nonattainment areas)
- Educate new areas on potentially new air quality analysis (both for conformity and NEPA)
- Provide information on flexibility
- Ozone flex program available
- Identify training needs

## Upcoming Issues

- REAUTHORIZATION OF SAFETEA-LU!!
- Possible conformity rule amendments
- New emissions model (MOVES) expected in 2009
- New project level hot-spot analysis guidance

## Outline 

**The Matrix for SkP.**
**Dependence of single-particle energies on coupling constants.**
**Fits of spin-orbit and tensor coupling constants.**
**Error analysis in mass fits.**
**Extensions in density dependence and stability conditions.**
**Extensions to higher powers of derivatives.**
**Extensions to higher powers of densities.**

## The bottom line 

**Spectroscopic-quality energy density functional ******** correct description of positions and evolution of single-particle levels.**
**Single-particle levels ******** correct description of one-particle separation energies with all polarization effects included.**
**Within the EDF method, shape and spin polarization effects in doubly-magic nuclei are relatively small – much smaller than deviations from data.**
**Dependence of total and single-particle energies on coupling constants is very linear.**
**No fits without error estimates and error propagation!**
**Extensions beyond the simple Skyrme functionals are mandatory.**

## Coronal Image ProcessingThe Accurate Depiction of Structure in Qualitative Images of the White Light Corona

- Huw Morgan, Shadia Habbal, Richard Woo

## Outline	

- Finding an unbiased radial graded filter using a model pB corona
- Apply to pB observations
- Compare results with standard LASCO images (made using division by a long term minimum method)
- Processing of white light images

## Synthetic Solar Minimum Corona

- pB at pole

- pB at equator

- Current sheet
- width

*w *is constant so **RADIAL** corona

- pB at equator

- pB at pole

- LOG pB

## Simple Radial Graded Filter (RGF)

- Processed
- intensity

- Original intensity

- Intensity averaged
- over all latitudes at *r*

- WHY NOT
- RADIAL
- ????

*r *height
** latitude

## WHY NOT RADIAL?

- Std. deviation 

- Average

- _Std. dev._
- Average

**WHY NOT RADIAL?**

- Large change in relative contrast between high and low intensity regions with height
- RGF neglects the change in contrast so processed corona is distorted

- MODEL

- DATA

- Sol. min

- Sol. max

## Normalizing Radial Graded Filter (NRGF)

**Normalizing Radial ****Graded Filter (NRGF)**

- Processed

- Original

- Average

- Std. dev.

- RGF equator

- RGF pole

- NRGF pole

- NRGF equator

## Application to pB observations - Solar Minimum January 18 1997

- MLSO MKIII & MKIV coronameters - 1.15-2.28 Rs
- LASCO (SOHO) C2 coronagraph  -  2.28-6.2 Rs

- ‘Standard’ LASCO & MKIII

- NRGF

## Application to pB observations - Solar Maximum (June 21 2000)

- ‘Standard’ LASCO & MKIII

- NRGF

## LASCO ‘standard’ images or the NRGF - which gives the true picture?

- Latitudinal profiles at 3 heights

- LOG

- Standard

- NRGF

- Solar min

- Solar max

## Application to white light (WL)...

- Easy to apply NRGF to pB observations since pB does not contain F corona and stray light. Why bother with WL?
- LASCO makes ~30 WL obs./day, compared with ~2 pB.
- LASCO WL observations have 12” resolution (1024x1024 pix). LASCO pB have half this resolution.

**How we do it...**
- Calculate WL-pB for many days surrounding observation, and average.
- Subtract this average from desired observation
- This method provides excellent qualitative images of coronal structure after final processing with NRGF

- White light

- White light
- processed

- pB

- Minimum

- Maximum

## Application to WL - comparison with LASCO standard images 

## Application to WL - CME 

## Conclusions 

- The NRGF is a correct method for removing radial gradient from coronal images
- Division by a long term minimum almost invariably leads to a misleading depiction of structure
- A new method for processing white light images provides good results with LASCO C2 observations (C3 needs more work - due to polarization of F corona?)
- Using the NRGF, we can avoid saturating the image to see structure, and finer detail can be seen at all heights in the corona.

## University of Utah Group- TCSP and NAMMA

- 	Ed Zipser (PI), Zhaoxia Pu (co-PI) and
- 	Chuntao Liu, Brandon Kerns, Kantave Greene

- Big Question:  What is the essential difference between
- developing and non-developing [African] waves?
- • Is it sufficient to have “strong enough” synoptic-scale vorticity maxima in the waves?  Mid-level or low level?
- • Is it sufficient to have a few strong convective bursts to concentrate the vorticity on smaller scales?
- • Given both, is development inevitable?
- • Challenge in NAMMA:  Synoptic scale, mesoscale, and convective scale data for analysis and numerical experimentation for these questions.

- All **non-developing** vorticity maxima, Jun-Oct.1998-2001, mid-levels (700/600 hPa)
- (Colors represent relative vorticity (x 10-6s-1)         ERA40, 1.125°

- All **non-developing** vorticity maxima, Jun-Oct.1998-2001, low-levels (925/850 hPa)

*Message:  No shortage of waves with substantial vorticity passing north and south of*
*Cape Verdes at both low and mid-levels; (mid-level centers are often farther north)*

- All **developing** vorticity maxima, Jun-Oct.1998-2001, mid-levels (700/600 hPa)

*Message: Almost all developing systems will pass south of Cape Verdes, even at *
*mid-levels.  (This is not conventional wisdom-- is ERA40 getting it right?)*

- All **non-developing** vorticity maxima, Jun-Oct.1998-2001, low-levels (925/850 hPa)

*Message: Most systems weaken in longitude of Cape Verdes, except for a small fraction*
*of systems passing to the south.  What distinguishes the successful ones?*

## Local Public Health Agency Perspectives on IOM Vaccine Finance Report

- Donna Brown, JD, MPH
- Government Affairs Counsel
- National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO)
- NVAC Vaccine Financing Meeting
- 28 June 2004

## LPHA Perspectives

- VFC, 317 funds, and state funds cover almost all immunizations for the populations they vaccinate
- Private insurers and persons who pay themselves are not significant factors

## LPHA Perspectives

- Current financing system has limitations and problems affecting populations served by the public health system
- For example, many jurisdictions have a two-tier system for Prevnar (if, that is, they can get it!)
- Medicare finances limited vaccinations for the elderly >65

## LPHA Perspectives

- Positive aspects of IOM Report
**Focus on immunization for adolescents and adults**
**Emphasis on importance of vaccines and need to renew public attention**

## LPHA Perspectives

- Concerns About IOM Report
- Wide-ranging legislative action necessary
- Puts paperwork burden, a potential disincentive, on primary care providers, who would need to accept vouchers and await reimbursement
- Focuses too much on supply and very little on delivery

## LPHA Perspectives	

**Key Issue**
**Is Congress now interested or likely to act on this report?**
**IF NOT, we should focus our collective efforts on solving pressing immunization needs within available policies, resources and delivery systems.**

## LPHA Perspectives 

**Things we can do within existing systems to help address vaccine financing problems:**
- Expansion and full funding of VFC program, expansion of number of VFC providers, and increases in Section 317 funding
- Strengthen advocacy for these items between the public health partners – building momentum on VFC legislation

## Booster/Beam Status

*Eric Prebys*
- FNAL Beams Division

## Beamline Issues

- All instrumentation working well.
- We are continuing to try to understand high losses at 870
- Theory that a permanent quad was improperly installed were wrong.
- All checks of alignment look OK.
- Activation is low, even with the high losses – not a huge worry.
- Improved stripline air pressure monitor installed
- Insulation to MI12A air monitor to prevent trips caused by condesation.

## Imaging the Fin

- 90 degree monitor

- Temp.

## Operational Issues

- Ran with beam missing the target for 12 hours!!!!!!
- Improved beam line/shift documentation!!
- Operators now on the lookout for this.
- Operations has gotten much better at optimizing MiniBooNE rate without being told.

## Protons to MiniBooNE this Week

- Total

- MiniBooNE

- Stacking

## Typical Performance

- Per pulse intensity (E12)

- MiniBooNE rate (p/hr)

- Booster Power Loss

## In Short...

- MiniBooNE is running.
- We typically take 1.5-2.0 times as many protons as stacking.
- This number needs to go up by about a factor of 8.

## What it Limiting MiniBooNE

- (Longitudinal?) instabilities in the Booster are limiting the per pulse intensity to ~3.7E12 ppp.
- Normalized tunnel losses limit the total protons to about 2E16 pph when the Booster is running well.
- Beam power loss limit (currently 400 W) is similar.
- Heating in the extraction septum (MP02) currently limits MiniBooNE rate to ~.9 Hz during stacking.

## Effect of Longitudinal Damping

- High Dispersion Region

- No Dampers

- Dampers Working

- Occasional Bad Pulse at High Intensity (trips loss monitors)

## Tunnel Losses

## Booster Limitations

- Trip point

- “Troublesome” losses (shown as diamonds)

- Beam power loss

- Total protons/min. out of Booster (blue crosses)

- MP02 Temp.

## Plan

- New Power Supply is Ready for MP02.  Negotiating time to connect, but probably won’t happen until early November, because of the impact on Run II.
- At the same time, we will do a magnet move which should improve some of the worst losses (L13, L22, L24).
- We had a review of the collimator shielding.  It is unlikely that the shielding will be installed until the January shutdown. WE MUST PUSH FOR THE JANUARY SHUTDOWN.
- Finally making progress in beam orbit correction. Tuning to reduce loss at high intensity.
- New extraction septum nearly ready to be pumped down and tested. Will be installed during January shutdown.
