Present:  Allison, Chris P, Elif, Roman, Doug P., Vanessa, John R, Jim

Items:

1.  Just discovered that McLane Pucks do not fit in puck-puller, and some have burrs.  Doug has done cursory inspection and they seem to be at the limit of tolerance specifications.  Will quarantine and inspect after we get Gordon on MARS.

2.  Printer.  Roman to try running printer without HEPA filter.  Perkin-Elmer doesn't know what to suggest to do, even if they send someone.  We are losing this one...

3.  Gordon.  in the middle of core/mfb testing.  Some issues with RNALater being left in WCR pucks.  Will do some testing on NEO before implementing in Gordon.  Tonight to run BAC SHA MFB phase (low pressure).

3.  Vanessa leaves saturday.  She's running her MFB standards again and they are  looking as good or better than pre-deployment!

4.  John R. reports that the LMO submission has gotten very favorable reviews.  He will address and resubmit but things looking good for publication.

Jim to tour Fred Byus (RADM, retired, formerly Oceanographer of Navy), currently VP for marine market segment for Battelle in the ESP lab.
