    Richard, Sean, Hovanes, et al.,<br>
    <br>
    First let me apologize for my mistake in attribution in the minutes.
    Richard checked in the changes to have HDGeant get the bunch
    frequency from the CCDB, not Paul. Thanks to him for doing that. I
    will amend the minutes presently.<br>
    <br>
    As far as what the frequency actually is now, yesterday Paul said
    that he had just come from a "master oscillator meeting" and that we
    are running at 2 ns bunch spacing. I have the utmost respect for
    both Paul and Hovanes, but they can't both be right here. ;-)<br>

                                                    multi-threading; a

                                                    run over most of the
                                                    files collected in
                                                    the last week of
                                                    data-taking. The
                                                    volume of data is
                                                    small, it only takes
                                                    a few hours to run
                                                    over everything.
                                                    <br>
                                                    <br>
                                                    We then discussed
                                                    doing a final run
                                                    over the Fall data
                                                    so that people can
                                                    use the data to
                                                    prepare for the
                                                    collaboration
                                                    meeting. There is a
                                                    change to get the
                                                    setting of the
                                                    F1-TDC parameters
                                                    from the CCDB that
                                                    Justin checked in
                                                    yesterday. There are
                                                    also new TOF timing
                                                    constants that we
                                                    are not taking
                                                    advantage of yet. In
                                                    addition Lubomir
                                                    also has new FDC
                                                    alignment numbers.
                                                    For all of these
                                                    reasons a re-run
                                                    seems desirable but
                                                    time is running
                                                    short to have the
                                                    data available in
                                                    time to be useful.
                                                    We agreed on a
                                                    launch time target
                                                    at the end of the
                                                    day on Friday. <br>
                                                    <br>
                                                    There was a bit of
                                                    discussion of what
                                                    data we have from
                                                    the current run.
                                                    Most of it is in run
                                                    2931, which is
                                                    contained in just
                                                    over 100 files and
                                                    has about 75 million
                                                    events. Data were
