+I've been concentrating on coding related to the extended source analysis, particularly speeding up the analysis.  I've threaded the petrosian and non-linear model fits (finally) so that we use the multiple cores more efficiently.  I should be able to wrap up these improvements early this week and fold them into the trunk.  This will make testing of the extended source parameters much more efficient.
+
+I also worked on extracting parallaxes for our new PS1+WISE T-dwarf discovery (Liu et al paper), and a second test object with a known parallax.  I generated stand-along DVO databases for this analysis and ran relastro on the database to improve the per-chip calibrations.  The parallax measurement worked very well, and gives values for the test case that are similar to the reported parallaxes.  The test case had a fortuitous amount of PS1 coverage from the past 3 years, so it is actually quite representative of what we can expect from the completed survey.
+
+I put together an initial plan for the hardware upgrades over the next couple weeks.  We need to upgrade motherboards and hard disks in Wave 1 machines, and also upgrade the Manoa cluster.  The timing is constrained by the data shuffling needed to move the data from the 10TB partitions while they are upgraded.

  * Created a new M31 skycell tessellation. Ran some tests and reported to the M31 team. After feedback ran more tests. One more round and we should be ready to make the new reference stack.

  * DQStats: Finally fixed the SQL to only publish new results, but to correctly publish all new results.
  * Refcat zeropoints: Reprocessed SAS2 z-filter data as part of testing of the new LAP code, using the synthetic catalog instead of the new reference catalog.  This eliminates the position dependent zeropoint offsets that were observed, pointing to issues in the reference catalog in those regions.
