I was fresh out of college and working as a Clipper programmer for a large independent mortgage banker. One of my first assignments was handling the company’s Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) submission. The changes in the law in the early 1990s had brought our company under the coverage of HMDA. We had to scramble to get ready for our first submission of approx. 33,000 applications.
The document provides an overview of the San Diego Retrocommissioning Program. It describes retrocommissioning as improving building performance through low-cost operational and maintenance improvements. The program offers free building assessments, incentives for implementing efficiency measures, and documentation support. It has achieved energy and demand savings of 9-20% on average in participating buildings. A case study highlights over $270,000 in annual cost savings from retrocommissioning measures implemented at the Marriott Downtown & Marina.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.
The Sully Basins Stormwater Pond Retrofits project was substantially completed on April 19, 2022. The project is located within the Cub Run watershed.

Recent years have seen a disturbing rise in violence, discrimination, and intolerance against Christian communities in various Islamic countries. This multifaceted challenge, deeply rooted in historical, social, and political animosities, demands urgent attention. Despite the escalating persecution, substantial support from the Western world remains lacking.
Christian persecution in Islamic countries has intensified, with alarming incidents of violence, discrimination, and intolerance. This article highlights recent attacks in Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, exposing the multifaceted challenges faced by Christian communities. Despite the severity of these atrocities, the Western world's response remains muted due to political, economic, and social considerations. The urgent need for international intervention is underscored, emphasizing that without substantial support, the future of Christianity in these regions is at grave risk.

7. Three to Succeed
The Three to Succeed concept is based on the youth
survey analysis that shows how just having three assets (or
strengths) dramatically reduces risk behaviors and
promotes thriving youth.
Assets are strengths in young people, their families, schools
and communities that help them thrive in health, in school
and daily life, and in a safe environment. The more assets
an individual has in their lives, the fewer risk behaviors are
reported.

10. A Countywide Prevention Goal
Children are Physically Fit with Good Nutritional Habits
• Don’t focus solely on weight. Children who are
physically fit with good nutritional habits are likely to be
at a healthy weight and have adopted healthy
behaviors.
• Being a healthy weight does not mean you are fit with
good nutritional habits. Behavior is important to life-
long good health. Unhealthy behaviors are linked to a
variety of chronic diseases, such as cancer, stroke,
diabetes, and heart disease.

11. Childhood Obesity and Adulthood
“It is possible that, given the
increasing prevalence of severe overweight,
some children will live shorter and less healthy lives
than their parents.”
-- The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools
“Children and adolescents who are obese
are likely to be obese as adults
and are therefore more at risk for
adult health problems.”
-- CDC Childhood Obesity Facts

14. What Causes Childhood Obesity
• Limited Knowledge of the benefit of physical activity and
nutrition as well as Limited Skills to make healthy choices.
• Inconvenience and Unaffordability of Nutritious Foods. Multiple
barriers including physical, economical, and time constraints
can influence an individual’s access to healthy foods.
• Limited Access to Physical Activity and Recreation. In some
cases, individuals are unaware of the opportunities available
to them. But in other cases, issues of safety or the physical
space of neighborhoods can have an impact.
Fairfax County 2011 Youth Survey
14
15. What Causes Childhood Obesity
• Cultural Norms and Role Models. Families and other role
models can have an impact on one’s behaviors, values, and
perspectives. Cultural norms and perspectives on food and
physical activity can have repercussions for children and their
families.
• Impact of the Media and Screen Time. Youth spend much of
their time using these media while not being physically active
and during this time they are confronted with marketing and
advertising messages that promote candy, sugary cereals,
and fast food.

30. Correlation Data
• Cross-tabulations are when we look at the
way students responded to multiple
questions, for example when we look at
results by demographics such as symptoms of
depression by gender or the cross of two
experiences such as symptoms of depression
by substance use.
Cross-tabulations of data do not imply cause
and effect.
Fairfax County 2011 Youth Survey
3030
31. Correlation Data
• The results do not imply that being a certain gender
or using substances causes depression. The data
indicate there is a correlation of the female gender
reporting higher prevalence of reported depressive
symptoms.
• Similarly, youth who use substances are more likely
to report symptoms of depression, but the results do
NOT show if substance use causes depression or if
depression leads to substance use.

36. What Families Can Do
Adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Children who are raised in active families tend to stay active as adults.
• Eat meals together as a family Parental presence at the evening meal
means adolescents eat more fruits, vegetables and dairy foods.
• Provide plenty of fruits and vegetables, limit foods high in fat and sugar,
and prepare healthier foods at family meals.
• Serve your family water instead of sugary drinks.
• Make sure your child gets physical activity each day.
• Limit media time for kids to no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality
programming per day whether at home, school or child care.
• Ensure children and adolescents get enough sleep. Lack of sleep is a
risk factor for overweight and obesity.
Fairfax County 2011 Youth Survey
