Hi all,

I finished the 05a demography update yesterday.  I have a couple minor 
questions to ask Jeanne about, but the bulk of the data is in the system.

Just a couple things to mention/ask ...

1.  I entered demography notes with the new interpolation procedures in 
mind.  Just something to consider if anyone is querying the members 
table before we complete the conversion.

2.  I updated cycstats and repstats, as well as newcycles, newcycstats, 
and newrepstats.  Again, just something to keep in mind if anyone does 
queries before the conversion is finished.

3.  I haven't entered any matured dates for males yet.  It is no problem 
  for me to do this, but I somehow have the impression that that 
information is now in an Excel spreadsheet at Duke.  Is that right? 
Should I simply email the data to Leah, enter it in Babase, or hold off 
altogether?

Thanks,
Catherine
