 * PSPS
  * generated test batches from new SAS DVO Db (see below) and converted to csv-per-frame files for Jim.
  * lots more loading of 3PI from new DVO Db. Requires a certain amount of hand-holding
  * testing of new SCR 'survey' with Sue on sandbox
  * testing then loading of SCR on Maui. Encountered big problem with duplicate batches (my fault). Sue to the rescue...
  * changes to DXLayer so that it doesn't quit when failing to contact datastore or has problems downloading

 * IPP
  * fixed bug in addstar_run.pl script (non-mini DVO path was wrong)
  * SAS DVO Db creation fun with Heather
  * added framework to addstar to filter detections based on user-supplied mask in config
  * ippToPsps
   * ODM polling script now deletes from datastore once a batch is successfully loaded to ODM and merge worthy
   * investigated failures from loading: fixed one bug when zero-row detection tables cause fault at load stage
  * czartool
   * now using stacked histograms for pending/processed/faults

 * enhanced the distribution system to deal with the new "static sky" stage.
 * changed psphotStack to save the configuration in a file. This is needed for distribution processing
 * enhanced dvo to allow mextract to return the extrernal image id that corresponds to a given measurement. This will enable users to more easily create postage stamp requests based on data extracted from DVO.
 * changed distribution of background restored data to include the variance images from the original chip and warp runs. The M31 team needs these images.
 * wrote and executed scripts to bundle up the missing variance images for data distributed prior to the work discussed in the last item.
 * various other bug fixes.
 * looked into problem of streaky stacks reported by a user. The problem is a race condition in our processing. Destreak does not wait for nightly stacks to be completed.
 * 1 day vacation, 1 day state holiday
