## Freddie MacEnergy Efficient Mortgages

- _Manually Underwritten loans_:
- Freddie Mac permits the use of higher housing expense to income and debt to income ratios if the home is energy efficient or contains energy efficient items.
-  The lender may document the mortgage file with:
- Appraisal report indicating the energy efficiency of the home
- Form 70A, energy addendum
- An established home energy rating system (HERS)
- There is no maximum amount the income to expense ratios may be extended due to energy efficiency, however all mortgages are now subject to a maximum 45% Debt to Income ratio.
- There is no special energy efficient provisions for loans assessed in Loan Prospector (LP).  Maximum debt to income limits are assessed by LP.

## Freddie Mac permits the purchase of a property that is to be retro fitted, refurbished or improved with energy efficient components.  The purchase price may include the cost of the property plus the actual cost of energy efficient improvements.  
The cost of the energy efficient improvements may be included in the mortgage delivered to Freddie Mac prior to completion of the improvements.  An escrow of up to 10% of value may be established to complete the upgrades.
For new or existing properties that include energy efficient items, these should be noted on the appraisal in the comments section and included in the value as appropriate for the property and location.

Questions? Contact Matt Miller, Offerings Management – Freddie Mac, Matt_Miller@freddiemac.com

## Carbon Polarimeter Study

- The purpose of the study was to use the carbon targets and polarimeter detector system to measure the beam profile and emittance to compare and validate the IPM and cross section based emittance values.

## Beam Characteristics

- Deuteron beam only
- Beam at Injection Energy
- Single Bunch
- Target Scan mode, 1 second measurement at 10-20 positions separated by ~500 microns.
- Detector bias voltage: 90 volts

## Vertical Target #5 sixth try

- No reliable IPM
- result to
- compare with

## Beam Emittance 

- Time of scan measurement

- Emittance ( mm-mr)

## Beam Profile

- Time of scan measurement

- Beam width (sigma, in mm)

## Work to do

- Things look good now, but we need more APEX time to set the timing of the DAQ correctly.
- Measure from 1 to 20 to 95 bunches.
- Measure emittance at store.
- Combine emittance measurements with IPM on the same beam.

## Is there a Problem?

- Is there a problem?
- Are we happy with the status quo?
- Should we prepare to fold our tents and wait for the next great thing?

## Who are our users/ customers/communities?

- Who is our market? Who do we want to serve? Who wants us to serve them?
- Libraries
- Archives
- Museums
- Online information companies
- Corporate information centers
- Scientific communities
- Distributed learning environments -- builders and/or tool providers
- People who must distribute data for free -- govt?

## Who are we not trying to serve?

- Are what we providing not a good fit for others?
- People whose business is in the interface may not be interested in an open IR protocol.
- Web search engines? Maybe their business model is changing?

## What are the Applications?

- Searching structured data and metadata
- Searching full-text
- Distributed searching

## Who are we?What are our competencies?

- Developers
- protocol implementors
- application developers
- Users
- Competing interests

## What is the problem?

- Not web-friendly, not perceived as web friendly
- Not friendly, period.
- We are wedded to a single protocol and expect that all people’s implementations will interoperate.
- What is not the problem -- weaknesses in the standard...but there is a problem with way it is perceived and how it is implemented.
- People do not want to run anything except an http server.
- Content of the standards? Are the functions of the standard needed? Re-evaluate the functions?
- Interoperability problems

## What is the problem?

- Tying the protocol to bits on the wire.
- Implementation approach of TCI/BER is not acceptable to some developers
- The way the standard is written and difficult to understand. Documentation problem.
- The lack of APIs since many application developers don’t want to worry about the underlying protocols.
- It is misrepresented, misunderstood, etc.
- Technical elegance over simple solutions
- BER is pretty opaque -- lack of tools

## Two classes of problems that can be solved by...

**1.  The standard needs to be revised to make it clearer.**
- Clear communication for utility of Z39.50 in people’s application -- semantic model
- Making the standard clearer
- Communicating to others the utility of the standard.
**2. The standard is hard to implement.**
- Creating better tools for application developers (but also need for clear documentation for understanding the concepts/model of Z39.50).
- Technical changes to the standard.
- Separating abstract syntax and semantics from transfer mechanisms

## How do we broaden usage?Solving the problems

- By whom?
- For whom?
- How can we make it easier for application developers who don’t want to worry about network protocols?
- Let’s do a Java Bean for Z39.50.
- Getting Z39.50 into mainstream products

## Addressing the Problems/Solutions

- Get people together to move forward on the separation of application specifications (ASN.1semantics) from transfer syntax  (E.g., implementing the XER encoding of )
- Try to test these things out.
- Could be multiple approaches (XER, XP, SOAP, RFC 822

## Update on TES Ozone Column Validation

- Greg Osterman and the TES Science Team
- Jet Propulsion Laboratory/
- California Institute of Technology
- Aura Validation Workshop
- September 22, 2005

## Overview

- Total Ozone Column and Stratospheric Column
- TOMS, SBUV and OMI (Global Surveys during Nov 2004 & Jan 2005)
- MLS (Global Survey during Sep 2005)
- CAFS (Later Talk)

## TES-OMI Comparison

- On average TES sees higher column values than OMI.
- Differences roughly in the 3-10% range between 60°N – 60°S
- Consistent for all Global Surveys from Nov 2004 and Jan 2005

## TES-SBUV Comparison

- On average TES sees higher column values than SBUV.
- Differences roughly in the 3-8% range between 40°N – 60°S and 5-12% between 40°N – 60°N
- Differences increase poleward of 60°
- Consistent for all Global Surveys from Nov 2004 and Jan 2005

## TES-TOMS Comparison

- On average TES sees higher column values than TOMS.
- Differences roughly in the 5-18% range between 60°N – 60°N
- Differences increase poleward of 60°
- Consistent for all Global Surveys from Nov 2004 and Jan 2005

## Mean Values – 5 Degree Latitude Bins

- TES clearly sees highest values of column ozone in Northern Hemisphere
- Problem in winter at high latitudes.
- TES upper troposphere bias also contributes to TES being high relative to other measurements.

## TES Compared to Combined TOMS/SBUV - January

- Mean TES value higher than all years of combined TOMS/SBUV product for January in the Northern hemisphere.
- Agreement better in Southern hemisphere

## TES Compared to Combined TOMS/SBUV - November

- Agreement better for mean TES value for November at higher latitudes.

## TES Nadir Ozone Averaging Kernal

- TES retrievals get 3.5-5.0 degrees of freedom of signal for the entire ozone profile.
- Sensitivity up to ~3 hPa at the top
- Sensitivity down to just above boundary level

## A Priori

- TES does move away from the a priori.
- Does the TES initial guess contribute to any possible bias?

## Comparison with MLS

- Initial comparison looks very promising qualitatively
- Look at comparisons at different MLS levels.

## Tropospheric Column Ozone

- Comparisons with ozonesondes and the GEOS-Chem model
- Talk by Qinbin Li in this session
- Would like to work with OMI team to compare with their tropospheric column product.
- Definition of Tropopause
- Currently using a value determined from our temperature retrievals (TES L2 IDL Save Files).
- In the future will use value from GMAO Late- Look products.

## Summary

- Comparisons with OMI and SBUV look very promising.
- Need to quantify the effects of our *a priori *and do a more quantitatively rigorous comparison.
- Just started comparisons with MLS
- Look at column comparison for different conditions and dates
- Look at data for levels in upper troposphere

# Presentation: 266951

## This presentation is for illustrative and general educational purposes only and is not intended to substitute for the official MSHA Investigation Report analysis nor is it intended to provide the sole foundation, if any, for any related enforcement actions. 

## GENERAL INFORMATION

- Operator:		Jim Walter Resources, Inc.
- Mine:		No. 4 Mine
- Accident Date:	March 29, 2006
- Classification: 	Fall of Roof
- Location: 		Dist. 11, Tuscaloosa County, AL
- Mine Type: 	Underground Coal Mine
- Employment:	454
- Production:	9,700 Tons/Day

## ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION

- At approximately 11:25 a.m. on March 29, 2006, a miner received injuries that resulted in his death on April 10, 2006. The victim was installing roof bolts between the shield tips and the longwall face in preparation for moving the longwall mining equipment. The victim was located at the outer edge of a shield tip while preparing to drill, when a piece of roof rock fell. He was hit by the rock (measuring 4-inches x 12-inches x 24-inches), which caused him to fall, striking his head against the pan-line.

- Hydraulic Oil Puddle

- Handheld Drill

## ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

_*Causal Factor*_: The mine operator's existing procedures for installing roof bolts on the longwall face with handheld drills did not include provisions for safe positioning of the drill operator.
_*Corrective Action*_: The mine operator submitted and the district has approved a supplement to the Approved Roof Control Plan that reads as follows:
- "The pin men will position their drill perpendicular to the faceline while standing under a shield canopy to install their first pins in all areas where pinning will be started in the mesh cycle."
- "The pin men will position themselves adjacent to previously installed bolts as they progressively pin the faceline in all areas of pinning."

## ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS

**§104(a) Citation No. 7684534** Part 30 75.202(a): Issued to Jim Walter Resources, Inc. No. 4 Mine.
- The operator failed to support or otherwise control the roof to protect persons from hazards related to falls of the roof on the N-13 Longwall Panel. On March 29, 2006, an area of unsupported roof fell and led to a fatal injury of a miner on April 10, 2006.

## BEST PRACTICES
Examine the roof, face and ribs, including sound and vibrations tests, during pre-shift examinations, immediately before any work is started, and periodically as conditions warrant. 
Remain alert for changing roof conditions. 
Ensure that roof bolting equipment and procedures provide a safe and practical means for miners to work from beneath shield canopies. 
Remove slipping and tripping hazards from the work area before any other work is performed.

## Washington Area Next Generation Internet Recurring Costs 

- Washington Area Next Generation Internet Recurring Costs

*A Joint Agency Dark Fiber Venture*

## REC/NE/08 - Final Report

- REC/NE/08 was executed according to plan as:
- $100,000 - MAX port fee     (Gig-E rate-limited at 155M)
- $  15,000 - MAX membership fee
- $  15,840 - Fiber segment lease
- $  15,000 - Collocation rack space at MAX  (***new***)
- $145,840 - Total HPCC grant
- Previously reported frustration over slow adoption
- Not surprisingly, this *angered* Bill T.
- His response galvanized the community
- A polite way to say he prodded certain folks to **quit stalling**
**Kudos to Bill !!**

## Some Reshuffling

- As network is activated, topology is changed
- Drop WWB to FB4 segment
- Add FB4 to MAX
- Add MAX to GSFC (for MODIS data)
- Very little new segment funding requested
- Surplus of prior year funds due to late construction
- Complicated morass of segment start-end dates
- Disagreement w/finance over fund availability
- Billing errors by contractor

## The BIG Migraine

- Undertook extensive audit of all segment contracts
- To *find* missing prior year monies
- To reallocate segment funding to match topology
- To align segment leases to common end-date (1/31/06)
- To execute early termination of WWB-FB4
- To pay contractor for inadvertent use of one segment
- To pay Government for contractor error on GSFC segment
- Ed Tennant worked tirelessly to figure all this out!
- MAN now in suitable state for turnover to NOC
- So I DID !!!

## REC/NE/06 - Interim Report

- REC/NE/06 was awarded funding as:
- $100,000 - MAX port fee    ($150K full-Gig next year)
- $  15,000 - MAX membership fee
- $  79,200 - Fiber segment leases
- $  15,000 - Collocation rack space at MAX  (***new***)
- $209,200 - Total HPCC grant
- Period of performance 2/1/06 – 1/31/07
**Next year we can expect NOAA base funding**
*Right Bill?*
