During the pre-launch B-shift,  nearly everything went smoothly
and at this time all systems are go.  We are still on track
for nominal launch.

The only signicant anomaly which arose was a power outage at the
checkout station (COS).  The COS has primary responsibility for 
monitoring IUS telemetry/safety prior to launch.  For a short time
Sunnyvale was also unable to receiver IUS telemetry, and no parties
were able to monitor IUS safety.  After a flurry of discussion
concerning workarounds and flight rules, power and telemetry
were restored to both stations.

A number of newly-approved ACIS procedures (for day 9 and later) 
were accepted (by CAP #8) for inclusion in the tar file.  

Let's hope that Paul and the A-crew can get this thing launched!  :-)
