    Dear Collaborator,,
    
    There has been an ongoing search for finding sufficient funds so Phenix and Star could achieve 
    a first measurement of delta-G within the context of run-3. This has been achieved as indicated by the
    message from Phil Pile indicating the extension of the run another week. 
    This is the definite end in all cases.
    This means that we should also be able to in addition to the completion of the pp comparison run to
    make a measurement of Ann (transverse) polarization.
    It does raises a severe shift scheduling issue, since the present people coverage is only through Wednesday;
    It will be determined this afternoon when in fact pp2pp will run. Our position is that it is better to have them
    run at the end since it leaves most time between the exp and the coll meeting, and requeires no change-over
    from our exp, and return. The word is Phenix favours pp2pp runs right away so this is probably what will happen.

    | To All:
    |  
    | One last schedule update! DOE has agreed to help us ($$'s) to extend the pp
    | run by an additional week!
    |  
    | The end date for RHIC experiment operations is now Friday 0800 hrs 30 May.
    |  
    | The detailed schedule (when the 5 shift pp2pp experiment will run in
    | particular) will be announced later this afternoon.
    |  
    | BLIP will run an additional week. 
    |  
    | The proton radiography experiment (E963) will begin as soon as the
    | experiment setup is complete (~Monday 2 June).
    |  
    | The NSRL Booster foil changer fix will be done once E963 is complete (~11-12
    | June).
    |  
    | best regards,
    | Phil
