410 / 51816 - 621	03:00:00.56 +00:48:28.1		16.962 16.759 16.460 
	overlapping trough BAL, hi-res spectra in hand, IR spectra would be nice

402 / 51793 - 400       01:47:33.58 +00:03:23.3      	17.805 17.474 17.295
  not BAL; z~2.23? z>0.594 but 2MASS J-K=0.9, very blue.  wk lines; RQQ BLLac?

396 / 51816 - 156       01:05:40.75 -00:33:14.0     	18.157 17.865 17.630
  z=1.1790 reddened mystery, what are features?  2MASS J-K=1.4 typical for QSOs.

	many narrow trough BAL; need hi-res or 2nd epoch lo-res for variability

	not fully understood; AlIII >> MgII BAL or extreme FeII emitter?

286 / 51999 - 499	12:06:27.62 +00:23:35.5		19.183 18.767 18.674
	many-narrow-trough/overlapping-trough transition BAL; need better data

413 / 51929 - 169	03:19:09.6 -00:19:16		19.409 18.658 18.548
	non-BAL starburst + AGN; z=0.635 radio souce, broad [OII] and [OIII] 
	(>~2500 km/s FWZI), Hbeta em & abs cancel out, maybe same for MgII?

  	enigma.  z=?  weird WD?  FIRST source, no 2MASS yet.
