Hi folks -


Just a quick note to :

(1) Let you know about some new versions of documentation.
     -- There is a new Spitzer Observer's Manual (SOM) version 4.5 now
        available.  This version primarily synchs up the web and PDF
        information, but there are some new tidbits of information in
        there as well.
     -- There is a new MIPS Data Handbook version 1.1,
        along with new versions of the IDL code.

(2) Remind you that schedules and logs are posted weekly.
http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/approvdprog/sched/
Some of you were worried about our recent safing event.  Information about
which observations were done and which were skipped (for now) is available
in the observing logs.

(3) Remind you that the reprocessing status page is updated frequently
http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/archanaly/status/
This page lists each campaign, whether or not it has been reprocessed
and archived, and whether or not the publicly available data have been
staged yet for you to access from the popular products website.

This page is always updated with recently modified significant files:
