1. NEW MAX MILLENNIUM CHIEF OBSERVER ------------------------------------

From Dick Canfield <canfield at physics.montana.edu>

Paul Higgins is the most recent addition to the MM_COs. He is presently finishing his PhD with the Astrophysics Research Group at Trinity College Dublin. For his undergrad, Paul attended Contra Costa College and transfered to UC Berkeley where he double majored in Physics and Astrophysics. He was a research assistant in the Particle Data Group at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and then in the Space Physics Research Group at Space Science Laboratory. His PhD research includes investigations into the relationship between dynamic sunspot group properties and the occurrence of flares, primarily relying on SOHO/MDI magnetic field observations. In the next two years he will do a postdoc between TCD and LMSAL on a topic related to his PhD. We are delighted to have him on board as a MM_CO.
