Dave Douglas

 Previous two weeks (Oct 26-Nov 9)
   - LERF: Fall two week restart/operations run (organization, documentation)
 Next two weeks (Nov 9-23)
   - LERF: Fall two week restart/operations run (organization, documentation),
     beam reanimation
   - LERF: energy recovery analysis for DarkLight - accommodating beam
     scattering in target (needs matching/coupling compensation as
     described above)

     DarkLight
   - LERF: Isotope kibitzing

Chris Tennant

 Previous two weeks (Oct 26-Nov 9)
   - LERF: operations
   - ASML: mostly completed various aperture studies for lattice
     3.0.0, still investigating some "mysteries" in results,
     computing uBI gain in compressor arcs
   - MEIC: investigating different mysteries (i.e. understanding
     behavior of transporting a magnetized beam in TStep/PARMELA)
 Next two weeks (Nov 9-23)
   - LERF: operations
   - ASML: repeat aperture study analysis for lattice 2.1 (if
     lattice becomes available and time is available)

   - MEIC: Longitudinal model development, elegant/esme comparisons,
     bunch merge/split parameterization
 Next two weeks (Nov 9-23)
   - MEIC: Longitudinal model development, continue bunch merge/split
     parameterization and optimization scans
