Hello all,

A quick follow-up before Mike submits the report tomorrow:


-6.4: the explanation needs to quantify which fraction of the variance is due 
to each source.
-6.4.1: the issues have not been addressed.  This will *not* satisfy NSF, and 
it does not satisfy us.
-6.4.2 is fine
-6.4.3: I’m not sure the first two sentences of the corrective action are 
still relevant

-6.8, 6.8.2 and 6.8.4 are now 1 week late, and this is unacceptable given 
that we need to file with NSF tomorrow!
