1) run14 production 

2) run15 status and p+Au preparations 

3) BUR and beam species requested: 
    p+A for run16 is not possible, and difficult for run17 
   from Wolfram (nothing is impossible, but): 
   "p+Au and p+Cu in Run-17 is not compatible with the CeC undulator that we plan to install during the summer of 2015.

   Berndt had previously agreed not to schedule any asymmetric species in Run-16 (with the old multi-year run plan)." 

   Ru-96 is difficult to find for Isobar Zr-96.
