 This week, with telescope operations off line for a bit, we decided to dump and re-ingest the full Nebulous database.  The dump was smooth, though somewhat slow, but the re-ingest was much slower than expected.  We decided to switch to the replicated server as the main database engine while the main server continued to ingest.  This gives us a (apparently successful) real-world test of our fall over process.

 * provided some text contributions to Henry Hsieh's MBC proposal to NASA
 * merged my branch with DVO-related dev work and psphot/psModules model variance work into the trunk
 * discovered that the 'haveUbercal' and 'haveSynth' photometry flags in the dvo 3pi database were not set correctly, so re-ran relphot to ensure these were set
 * re-generated all-sky 2mass comparison plots and basic relphot stats plots
 * re-generated the all-sky tables for Mark Bolden & published to the dvodist server

 * Reported results of psphotStack photometry to DRAVG. Many questions.
   * The data shows that the psphotStack measurements based on the morphology of objects like the Kron measurements and the model fits show better results when using the unconvolved stacks. 
   * There is an offset between SDSS stripe 82 psf magnitudes and psphotStack when a Gaussian psf model is used. A smaller offset results using the PS_MODEL_PS1_V1
   * The scatter in the kron magnitudes appears to be larger than with psphot. This turned out to be due to a bug in the code causing sources with bad moments to be measured.
 * Implemented and tested a feature that limits the kron integration area based on the surface brigthness of the source. With this change the kron radii are much better behaved.
 * Based on all of the above we have updated the psphot recipes and code and created a new operational tag. We are ready for SAStest.v5
 * Note: worked half of last Saturday and Memorial Day. Took holiday on Friday instead.
