Hi all,
    Sorry there were missing cartridges.   We put all the MARVELS
cartridges from Alaina's plug request in the bay.  There was no other
message to sdss-plug, or the engineering crew about any other
cartridges, so we did not know there were any additional plates
needed.  I know these are unusual circumstances with MARVELS
observing while BOSS is off-line, but if there are changes to the
plug request it is best to send a message to the sdss-plug mailing
list to make sure everyone knows about it.
				Cheers,
