Notes:
1.  This is the final schedule for the third trimester.
2.  The VxWorks system will be shipped to the IOTA site about Nov 1,  and tested as much as possible, without significant interference to the ongoing science program, by Morel and Lacasse.
3.  Observers on site from Sept 13 through Nov 2 are requested to contribute the first part of several nights to the Ratner program, and to perform the observations as a favor to the PI and CoIs, who will not be present,
in exchange for collaborative co-authorship on any resulting publication. Details will be supplied separately.
