1. Notes from the previous 48 hours:
   • Fast raster during swing shift on Suturday (Michael, Richard): denied by crew chief, considered too risky with Michael on vacation and Richard off-site
   • Trigger tests (Sasha): 9pm - 3am, trigger efficiency with ST, test with TOF trigger [1]
   • 5am end of physics, 6am end of run, restricted access from 10am
   • Shutdown: [2][3][4][5]
2. Issues:
   • raw files are not copied to tape (David informed, fixed)
   • rootspy troubles [6]
   • beam/halo monitor trips
   • new holes in FCAL monitor [7]
3. Reports:
   • Trigger counter passed 150B events [8]
   • PS acceptance from TAC run [9]
   • Week 17
