101301 - Advised I fixed the outline function so it will not set a margin on a
101302 - sentence that begins with something like "Mr. Jeff Ghilardi," or "Dr.
101303 - Smith," etc, per our discussion at ref SDS 10 line 0813.
101304 -
101305 - Jeff tried this on the laptop and feels it solves his concern.

1016 - Subject Index & Reports with F1 F9
1017 -
101701 - Jeff said he has started to build a formal subject index.  Up to now
101702 - he has been mainly using the Diary Summary to retrieve SDS informa-
101703 - tion.

101705 -     Comment
101706 -     Learning Period Difficulty
101707 -
101708 -     This suggests how difficult it is for people to realize the value
101709 -     of the Subject Index.  Morris and others seek some form of magical
101710 -     transcendence (also called "artificial intelligence") that will
101711 -     eliminate the need to think through the structure of one's work,
101712 -     life and activities.  I seek rather to provide SDS as a simple
101713 -     tool to apply native intelligence through language on the things
101714 -     it does best:  thinking, analysis, pattern recognition.  SDS
101715 -     captures in real time, or nearly real time the results of human
101716 -     intelligence so it can be re-used as a resource to build new
101717 -     understandings as a result of the context that evolves based on
101718 -     the correlation of events, people, time, documents, cost and
101719 -     schedule.  The SI is a primary element of this objective.  Jeff
101720 -     has been using SDS for several years without using the SI to
101721 -     organize his thinking and work product.
101722 -
101723 -     This suggests that while it is easy to use the SDS tools, it is
101724 -     quite difficult to understand why they are valuable, or worth the
101725 -     time to think through the structure of one's work.
101726 -
101727 -
101728 - We went through the process of making a project SI, and I explained
101729 - how to transfer an index created for one project or account to another
101730 - account.
101731 -
101732 - He had a problem using F1 F9 of not placing it on the main organiza-
101733 - tion line.  This was opening a Doc Log report screen, instead of the
101734 - Contact screen.  I explained that F1 F9 opens the Doc Log report
101735 - screen, if the cursor is not on a data type for one of the other main
101736 - reports, Subject, Reference or Contact.  We did this a few times and
101737 - he seems to have it in mind.
101738 -
101739 -    Actually I can fix this so if the cursor is on any part of a
101740 -    Contact line, it will do a Contact report, similar to being able to
101741 -    open a Contact record with <Enter>.
101742 -
101743 -
101744 -    Problem with F1 F9 on Doc Log Report
101745 -
101746 -    There seems to be a problem with this function.
101747 -
101748 -    Once we open a Doc Log report with this function, it wants to
101749 -    continue to open the same report, even after moving the cursor to a
101750 -    data type for another report.  Evidently we are not resetting the
101751 -    flag for this thing.

1020 - Help - Need Written Manual
1021 -
102101 - Jeff said he has printed the entire Help system, so he can read
102102 - through the whole thing.  He prefers this so he has a complete
102103 - overview of the program rather than using the context sensitive Help
102104 - system.  I explained the "Overview" help screens provide what he is
102105 - seeking, but he prefers to read the detailed text as well.

SUBJECTS
Voith, Claims by Owner
DTL Claim, Declarations, Jeff Ghilardi

1105 - Summary
1106 -
110601 - Jeff received DTL documents from Sarah and reported on a discussion
110602 - with her on this matter.
110603 -
110604 - Gave him the files on a disk, ref OF 1 and 2, so he can prepare his
110605 - own version of his declaraton.
110606 -
110607 -

1109 - Discussion
1110 -
111001 - Jeff said Sarah called him several days ago, and sent him some of the
111002 - claim materials prepared by Welch, including the orginal analysis
111003 - prepared in connection with Sletten's DTL claim.
111004 -
111005 - These include the documents Welch assisted DNRC in printing so they
111006 - could evaluate the DTL claim.  The printing did not come out very well
111007 - so they are difficult to follow.
111008 -
111009 - I asked him to write out in this record his understandings from his
111010 - discussions with Sarah, which are as follows:
111011 -
111012 -   Jeff's Comments
111013 -
111014 -   1.  Sarah advised Jeff that she was concerned about a potential
111015 -       conflict between the draft findings of fact with regard to the
111016 -       Sletten draft tube issues and the Voith issues.
111017 -
111018 -   2.  Sarah indicated that since she was not seeking to recover
111019 -       punative damages from Voith, that she did not want to attempt to
111020 -       prove that Voith deliberately provided unattainable tolerances.
111021 -       She indicated that while it may be a true statement that she did
111022 -       not consider it to be material to her case.
111023 -
111024 -   3.  Jeff advised Sarah that he could not provide a declaration in
111025 -       support of any claim against Tudor Engineering Co. However, he
111026 -       will provide a declaration in support of DNRC's claim against
111027 -       Voith. Jeff indicated to Sarah that he would prefer to write
111028 -       the declaration in his own words and would provide a draft for
111029 -       review based upon the form which Rod has developed.
111030 -
111031 -   4.  LIST OF DOCUMENTS REQUESTED BY JEFF GHILARDI
111032 -
111033 -       Jeff stated that he would like to have copies of the following
111034 -       items in order that the statements made in the declaration can
111035 -       be more fully supported.
111036 -
111037 -       a.  Copies of Jeffs diaries during the time period in
111038 -           question.
111039 -
111040 -       b.  Copies of the various schedules.  Sletten, Voith,
111041 -           As-built.
111042 -
111043 -       c.  Copies of installation measurements by voith and sletten.
111044 -           This should include measurements during the course of the
111045 -           work. Sletten may have working notes, check Tudor field
111046 -           notes on surveys, check Voith field notes.
111047 -
111048 -           Copies of correspondence on the subject.
111049 -
111050 -
1111 -
1112 -
1113 - Jeff's Initial Approval
1114 -
111401 - Jeff said he had read through the initial draft of his declearation,
111402 - ref OF 2, and found it generally accurate.  He needs the SDS records
111403 - and the items he has listed above to complete his review.
111404 -
111405 - He also submitted a copy of a declaration he offered on a Seawest
111406 - matter.  He said the initial draft of his declaration by a lawyer was
111407 - not strong enough, and he re-wrote it.  He also indicated that his
111408 - side was successful in that litigation and he feels his testimony in
111409 - the hearing that followed his declaration contributed to that success.
111410 -
111411 -
111412 - He said Sarah expressed concern about conflicts between ref OF 1 and
111413 - 3, but did not mention anything as being conflicting.
111414 -
111415 -
1115 -
1116 -
1117 - Additional Information
1118 -
111801 - I will arrange with DNRC to provide the records he requests and will
111802 - prepare an extract of SDS covering the Broadwater project for the
111803 - period of his declaration, which roughly 880801 to 881231.  He can
111804 - install this on his computer to expedite his review of the record and
111805 - finalize his declaration.
