Max Bruker 

  Previous (Jun 22 - Jul 3)
     - Studied some material on RF feedback issues, gap transient effects, and storage ring instabilities
     -	The IMP article is now in the approval queue and awaiting signatures.
  Next (Jul 6 - Jul 17)

       the simulations by Themis or those by the BNL colleagues are closer to reality when it comes to predicting the important 
       issues is not clear yet.
     -	Hopefully submit the IMP article for publication.

He Zhang 

   Previous two weeks (Jun 8 - Jun 19)     
     - Repeated previous simulations using the single particle model. Find inconsistency between the single particle model and the Monte Carlo model in BETACOOL. The question is whether to count in the position contribution
