0907 - Summary/Objective
0908 -
090801 - Followed up work at ref SDS 13 line 51, ref SDS 12 line 55, 
090802 - line 50, ref SDS 9 line 50, ref SDS 8 line 49, ref SDS 7
090803 -
090804 - Now that we have the fuser in the printer replaced, I printed a new
090805 - set of the main COE evaluation and Appendix E so they do not smudge
090806 - when they are copied.
090807 -
090808 -
090809 - Front Cover Improved
090810 -
090811 - I modified the cover sheet by adding "Corps of Engineers" beneath the
090812 - COE castle logo.
090813 -
090814 -
090815 -
090816 -  ..
090817 - Converting Information into Knowledge, Intelligence
090818 -
090819 - I also edited the second paragraph, ref OF 2 line 132, to improve the
090820 - explanation of time, information and intelligence created at ref SDS
090821 - 12 line 218.  We actually use the following as closely related
090822 - processes:
090823 -
090824 -                        knowledge
090825 -                        intelligence
090826 -                        analysis
090827 -
090828 - This applies ideas on pattern recognition at ref SDS 1 4450, from
090829 - Landauer's paper on "dimension matching." ref SDS 3 3250.
090830 -
090831 -     [On 970517 improved explanation at ref SDS 17 2277.]
090832 -
090833 -
090834 -  ..
090835 - Lessons Learned
090836 -
090837 - I edited the second paragraph in section 2, ref OF 2 line 172, by
090838 - eliminating "Continual Learning" and "Learning Organization methods"
090839 - because it is wordy.  We cite it later at ref OF 2 line 344. I kept
090840 - "Lessons Learned" because this was cited by Tom Benero in the meeting
090841 - on 961001, ref SDS 6 line 167.
090842 -
090843 - Lessons learned is similar to case studies and experience, reviewed at
090844 - ref SDS 1 line 117.
090845 -
090846 -
090847 -
090848 - Appendix E Corrections
090849 -
090850 - I prepared ref OF 7 line 30 as a permanent part of Appendix E. It has
090851 - a slight mistake of having the description of "Organic Subject
090852 - Structure" underlined.  Because we are using a 10 pitch bold font, the
090853 - length of the underline does not match the string length, so I
090854 - extended the underline to fit the longer length.
090855 -
090856 - "Subjects" was misspelled at ref OF 7 line 68.
090857 -
090858 - Turned out there were a lot of misspellings in the notes of the MS
090859 - Project CPM file.  MS Project spell checker was crashed, so I
090860 - transferred the file to Word and used the spell checker there.  It
090861 - found a lot of mistakes.  There were a few incorrect WBS references
090862 - that were corrected.

0911 - 1402 Went to Kinko's
0912 -
091201 - Tabs Improved
091202 -
091203 - Had the tabs modified by adding a dot after the letter and used 5
091204 - spaces between the dot and the tab description.
091205 -
091206 - They printed another 10 sets.
091207 -
091208 - Received invoice ref DRT 1 line 6.
