Stevens and B. Sheehan contacted C. Roehrig and worked out the problems. Chris said the computer stations were working properly right at 5 p.m.

Users can now view their own downtime by accessing their sector specific records: http://beam.aps.anl.gov/pls/apsweb/wam0002.efo_main_menu

Search Downtime Records tool will allow Users to view records for the beamline in which they are associated.

Safety: E. Chang reminds the group of upcoming safety facility inspections in 434 & 435 beginning August 18, 2004. If you have any requests, please contact your floor coordinators.

B. Glagola notes that ESAFs are still not being turned in with enough time for all approvals before beginning. He will circulate a memo to safety coordinators outlining policies and procedures for posting ESAFs.
