"Sitting Pretty" — not to be confused with the vintage Clifton Webb movie — is a strange little British semi-comedy of frustrated characters and unfulfilled lives which somehow get sorted out via the most improbable situations.
Amy Rosenthal's overpopulated opus centers on Nancy, a middle-aged spinster, morose and withdrawn — almost catatonic — after losing her job, who revitalizes her life by signing up for a local art class where she discovers, to her shock, that she's to be the model — the nude model. Rather than reverse course in embarrassment, she gamely accepts the assignment.
As presented at the Newport Theatre Arts Center under the direction of Phyllis Gitlin, "Sitting Pretty" succeeds sporadically, thanks primarily to the presence of Harriet Whitmyer as Nancy, whose facial expressions convey volumes and whose comedic instincts are finely tuned. This veteran actress populates her role with poignancy and precision.
As her younger, also unmarried, sister with whom she shares a London flat, Carrie Theodossin is a tough cookie, a museum art lecturer who spends most of her time fending off the attentions of an admiring neighbor (the solid Brian Page). She's been hurt 30 years ago and has no desire to get back into the romantic ring.
A sterling performance is delivered by Alex Gurevich as Philip, the womanizing art instructor who's bedded at least two of his students, including the young model (Aspen Ford) whose resignation paves the way for Nancy. Ford and Gurevich strike some intellectually emotional sparks in their lively subplot.
Of the relatively anonymous collection of art students, only the saucy Josie (Della Lisi) makes any lasting impression. One young man (Kyle Galloway) remains mute through most of the show, finally startling the others when he eventually utters a comment.
To answer the obvious question, there's no real nudity in the NTAC production, save for a slightly bared upper torso, viewed from the rear. And the painting of Nancy, revealed late in the play, is tastefully accomplished.
Andrew Otero's multiple settings (residence, studio, café) are effectively presented, nicely supported by Mitch Atkins' lighting designs and Rae Cohen's costumes.
Watching "Sitting Pretty" is somewhat like immersing yourself into a warm bath — it takes a bit of time to reach the comfort level. Once Rosenthal's play cuts through the extraneous prose, there's some tasty red meat to be digested by the patient playgoer.

Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India, has been killed by assassins in New Delhi.
Mrs Gandhi was thought to have been walking through her gardens this morning when she was shot. She was taken to the All India Medical Hospital where she underwent an emergency operation to remove the bullets but died an hour and a half later.
If I die today, every drop of my blood will invigorate the nation
Indira Gandhi
The Indian cabinet has started an emergency meeting to choose a successor.
India's High Commissioner, Prakash Mehrotra, said: "Democracy is very deep rooted in our country and the country is prepared to face any situation. A meeting is being called in Delhi, it is usual that the number two man in the cabinet takes charge for the time being,"
Stan Orme from the Anglo Indian Parliamentary Association said: "It is a very terrible thing. She was a very impressive person, very strong-willed. It is a real tragedy."
At 9:20am on 31 October 1984 India's prime minister Indira Gandhi was shot by two of her security guards in the garden of her home at No 1, Safdarjung Road in Delhi.
The attack led to rioting on a grand scale across India as Hindus took their revenge on Sikhs. At least 1,000 people are thought to have died and the army eventually intervened to quell the violence.
The assassination itself was revenge for the raid on Sikhism's holiest shrine in Amritsar to flush out separatist militants who had taken refuge there.
Your memories of Indira Gandhi:
I was in 4th grade and in Chennai (then Madras).
I still remember the shock that passed through the city learning the news. Panic spread like wild fire and the city shut down fearing riots.
My mother came and picked me up when the school closed.
All the way home, I remember seeing police jeeps cruising trying to keep control.
Later on, I remember, a lot of India grieved her like they would grieve a family member's loss.
Lavanya Ramanujan, India
I was about 13 years old when this happened. So many years have passed but but the pain remains – for what happened to the Sikh community, for the failure of our democracy to protect the vulnerable and for the failure of our justice system to bring to book the perpetrators of the crimes against the innocent.
Indira Gandhi's death was a loss for the nation, but nothing as compared to the loss of confidence each citizen of this country suffered in the very existence of this nation and its sustainability.
We as a nation really failed to protect our own citizens and the principles we claim to propound.
I, as a citizen of India, and having lived in the Punjab for a larger part of my life, salute the diehard and brotherly spirit of the Sikhs and apologise for the failures of our people.
Today the Sikh community, given their brave spirit, has moved on with life, but for many, the loss was too much to bear.
We lost such individuals to the arms of antinational forces or to other nations where they migrated to.
For all the hype that India gets in the international media, we must remember that we have many black chapters in our history.
Gujarat was a repeat of 1984 and we as a nation continue to fail on most crucial matters.
So much for a Security Council seat and the superpower status when our own house is on fire.
Albert Savio, India
My whole body starts trembling whenever I recall those days. It was the 1st of November, 1984 the day after the Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi was brutally killed by four Sikh ¿extremist¿ who were her bodyguards too.
We were having evening tea in our house situated in a rural area of Delhi called Narela. Suddenly somebody knocked at the door. My father went to see who it was and found that it was his friend Abbas Ali who had come to inform us that a cluster of around 200 "fanatics" was marching towards our house and they had already set fire to and looted two Sikh houses in our locality and were on the way to our house.
We had very little time to react, we decided to lock the house, and went to one of our neighbor's house to hide us.As a six-year-old child, I could not understand what was going on and why.
My father and my uncle had to cut their hair so that nobody could identify them as Sikh. My brother and I were forced to dress up like girls and had to tie up our hairs as girls do, just to hide our identity as Sikh children.
After half an hour, we heard that our house had been looted and it was on fire. None of us could sleep that night.
The next day all of us went to see our house and the only thing we saw were ashes all around – nothing was left.
The atmosphere was still very hot in the city and we were not secure.
At around 10:30 in the morning on the 2nd of November, a police van came and they took us to the police station and from there we were shifted to a riot victim camp.
There we met so many of our relatives who had also lost everything. In fact, some of them had lost their loved ones too.
We stayed in the camp for around a week and when the atmosphere in the city became calm, we were shifted to our localities.
We stayed at our neighbor's house for around a month. Everybody from our colony used to invite us for breakfast, lunch or dinner and a month passed like that.
Since my father and my uncle were both in government service, they got government accommodation on riot victim grounds and we shifted to Timarpur, a state government colony. But those who were not in government services had to renovate their houses.
Can anyone imagine the amount of compensation we got from the government? It was Rs. 5000!
Now after 20 years, we have again managed to get our own house in Delhi, but still I cannot feel secure because incidents like the '84 riots are very common in India.
That time it was the Sikh community which was the target and recently something very similar, or I should say something worse than, the '84 riots happened with Muslims in Gujarat.
For me, the major causes behind these communal riots are poverty, jealousy (it is clear that the attacks on the Sikhs had less to do with love for Indira Gandhi and more to do with resentment against them because they were a well-to-do community in Delhi), and the lack of independent thinking, which allows politicians to manipulate religion and fool people into thinking that killing other people serves their religion.
What the '84 riots taught me is my own precarious position in the Indian nation but also the shallowness of identity and politics in the subcontinent and in human nature.
Inderbir Singh Duggal, India
I remember that day clearly. I was just under 5 years old.
My mother broke the news to me as she came to pick me from school at about 5pm.
I asked her in shock why she had been shot.
She had a hard time answering me.
And I remember that not many people knew Indira Gandhi was dead. State-controlled media, as for as I remember, had not yet broken the news!All we had where I lived in South India was one state-run channel. My father had tuned in BBC radio following the news intently.
I remember the shock that gripped the nation. I remember the mourning.
For up to a week later there were no programmes on TV including my own favorite children's programme.
And at that age I knew some terrible things were happening in Punjab which I did not understand until much later.
Looking back at those days it makes me think how quickly time passes. How much has changed. Globalization, the age of Internet and instant news. We are no longer bound by state controlled media.
And yet in some ways how little has changed. It is disgusting that nobody has even properly apologised for the Sikh families who were murdered.
And the same political petty mindedness that was displayed then is still being displayed today.
It seems we have learned very little from the past. But those terrible events are to a large extent behind us. And in spite of some reservations about our politicians I look towards the future with hope.
Praveen, India
My Sikh mother's extended family, consisting of seven members living in Delhi at the time, were shocked by news of the death of Indira Gandhi.
The event just never seemed a possibility. They, and many others like us, were entirely apathetic to the burgeoning political Khalistan cause in neighbouring Punjab.
That all changed in the following days when their Hindu neighbours – acquaintances that they had known for years – turned on them and broke into their small dwelling with blood-soaked machetes.
My friend's dad, a street grocer, was fatally shot in the face whilst tending his stall.
Thousands of innocent Sikhs like them were massacred in the hysteria that swept Delhi for days.
The police and army were guilty bystanders during the witchhunt of any man, woman or child belonging to the Sikh faith.
And to this day, the overwhelming majority of the perpretators have not been brought to justice. The scars have not healed.
Gurinder Singh, USA
I was 10 years old at the time, living in Calcutta, India.
I remember being very upset that Indira Gandhi, or India Gandhi as she was fondly called, was murdered by her own body guards.I saw many Sikhs being beaten and killed by angry mobs.
I recall my punjabi non-Sikh neighbor's car being smashed and burned.
I remember having Punjabi guests in our home at that time whose son was not to be found and his parents were inconsolable.
He later returned home after hiding in a cinema hall basement for two days.
I also remember that for years I believed that what had happened to the Sikh community was right and that the mobs were justified in making the Sikhs pay for their betrayal.
Now, as a more mature and sombre adult, I regret having thought and believed that way, but even more so I regret that no Indian government actually ever formally apologised to the Sikh community.
Even now, after two decades, I would occasionally meet a Sikh person who would recount how a loved one was killed and the surrounding family was devastated and their lives were never the same.
If it makes any difference to even one Sikh person or family, I want them to know that I am really sorry this happened to their community, and if it is any consolation for the heinous crimes committed against them, many Indians feel the same way.
Sanjay, USA
Oct 31st 1984 – I was 13 years old and in school (9.00am).
We were told that we are to go back home.
As a student, a day off from school was great.
We did not even think of the consequences of the events happening around us.
The next 10 days were the most horrifying in my history.
Sikhs being burnt alive. My father and I were trying to go to the airport, on the way we saw an oil tanker tipped over, and being set fire. The driver was a Sikh and he was burning too.
Never should any community in the world be subject to such atrocities.
Harihar, USA
I was in my third standard when this happened.
Around 10:00 am that day the school was closed for the day.
As we were walking back to our school bus, we walked past the staff room. I saw my teachers in tears, hugging each other, have a kind of tragic look on their faces.
Soon there was a rumour that our school principal passed away.
Later in the bus, one of the teachers announced that Indira Gandhi has been shot, and she was in hospital and asked us all to pray for her recovery.
By the time I reached home, there were a considerable number of people at my home, as we were the only people to own a TV in the neighbourhood.
One of my uncles was so optimistic [saying] that in some war a general was shot 30 times and saved by the doctors, and he said, "She is the prime minister and she has only 16 bullets, she will be alive."
I always wished if it was true. My family mourned as if it was death of a family member.
To this day, she is the Mother of two generations. Indira is India.
Raju, India
I was unfortunate to witness the carnage the Hindu mobs had inflicted on the Sikhs and their property.
I was approached by a militant Hindu BajRang Dal activist who urged me to attack and kill Sikhs.
I declined with shock. It reminded me of stories of Jews and Nazi germany. I fear this event has began the process of disintegration of my country India.
Many Sikhs who were once loyal citizens are now ardent seperatists for a independant Khalistan.
Ramesh Patel, India
I was a teenager at the time of Indira's assasination.
That noon I was scheduled to take my ailing grandmother by train for radiotherapy in Delhi.
Fortunately, the news came before we could leave and possibly saved our lives.
This cerfew was only limited to the Sikhs as the mobs were free to roam around the city and raise slogans – Blood for Blood!Our Hindu neighbours brought food and supplies for the next five days while we were confined to our homes by police cerfew.
Not all neighbours were as good as ours. In most places, the neighbours turned on their neighbours and the Indian civilisation broke down in two separate societies.
I no longer considered myself Indian and subsequently left India forever. The Sikhs will remember the massacre forever and we will make our best efforts to show the TRUTH to the world.
Shame to India, Gandhi family and the Congress Party that indulged in merciless killing of innocent people.
Arvind Singh, USA
I was 7 years old when the ghastly incidents unfolded in the summer and fall of 1984.
At that age I wasn't quite sure what was going on but I have been told many stories by my parents who protected me and my brother from murderous mobs in Delhi.
We were fortunate enough to have lived in a relatively affluent part of South Delhi at that time and could take refuge during the worst of the riots at our Hindu friend's home.
I do remember one thing though – a red X on our house indicating that our house was inhabited by Sikhs, shameful for a "civilized", "secular" and "democratic" nation.
K Bains, Canada
I was 12 years old. It was the day of our annual performance benefit for our school held at the Music Academy of Madras.
We were at the Academy early that day, doing a full dress rehearsal when someone first said the president of India was shot dead. Soon the news was rectified and we found out that it was the prime minister. There was palpable fear and tension in the air.
We were shipped back to the school, and our parents were expected to come pick us up. We heard of gangs of men roaming the streets demanding all shops be closed and generally causing unrest.
It was late afternoon when my father showed up, a civil servant, on a borrowed bicycle from his peon.
I saw en route great many groups of men, as they had told us earlier, roaming the streets. I saw one man with a huge sword, yes, a sword. Not a machete, of which there were many, and many cricket bats and other assorted weapons, real and improvised.
It was a miracle to reach home safely. My mother and my younger brother had walked home, by then and were waiting for us anxiously.
We found out later there was much violence, in particular against Sikhs, and much of it was concentrated near the area of my school.
I was very troubled and anguished – both for Mrs Gandhi, who we heard was taken to the hospital in the bloody arms of her daughter-in-law, Mrs Sonia Gandhi – as well as the victims of violence of that day, and the many following days.
It is a shame, that we can not as a human society find our way past revenge and retribution.
Vennila nr Kain, USA
I was in Patna, Bihar. My mother was ending two days of fasting for the Chatt festival in the state of Bihar. Our family had gone to the ghats of the Ganges, where my mother offered prayers to the Sun God.
It was an auspicious day for everybody in Bihar. After the exchange of greetings and blessings from elders the children of the household settled down in front of the television.
Suddenly the regular programming was interuppted and newscaster Salma Sultan broke the news that Mrs Gandhi was attacked by gunmen this morning and that she is undergoing an emergency operation.
The mood in the house turned from joy to shock in a second. A minute later the phone rang and my uncle on the other side asked my father if he heard the news.
Soon the word spread and people collected in groups talking about what is next after Mrs Gandhi, who is responsible, is there a bigger plot etc.
The evening news bought the offical confirmation of her assassination.
The organised roiting and killing of Sikhs that followed was shameful.
Mukul, USA
I was 12 years old when when the attack on the Golden Temple occurred and innocent citizens were killed.
The feelings and pain of being violated are still raw. The death of Mrs Gandhi is sad because death is sad but I must say that it was expected.
As Sikhs we saw her no different than many in American see Osama bin Laden.
Varinder Singh Rathore, USA
The one who would have killed Hitler would have been a hero, The one who would have killed Saddam would have been a hero. The ones who killed Indira Gandhi is and still are heroes.
It's amusing how the Mr Mehrotra in the news article talks about democracy when the same regime barred the human rights activists and journalists from entering Punjab, when Indira Gandhi was committing the worst massacre of Sikhs in Punjab.
Not only this, the party workers of same party were butchering Sikhs in Delhi.
It really perturbs that the Sikhs who gave 85% for freedom struggle for a country that never existed before (India which is a creation of British Empire) were and are still being tortured by the same country and Indira Gandhi's role is not unfolded by the media.
Harmeet Singh, Punjab
I was in school, when someone floated a rumour that Indira Gandhi had been shot.
Later our principal told us to take a half day and go straight home. We got the confirmed news in the evening. We couldn't believe that it could have actually happened – it was like a cruel joke had been played on India.
The most eerie and dastardly aspect was that the deed had been perpetrated by those who had sworn to protect her.
Everyone was sobbing – it was a horrendous day.
Madhu, India
I was 12 years old and was in school when this news broke. Everybody in our house was sad and we were angry that her own bodyguards had done this to her.
Then the riots broke out and I felt ashamed to be an Indian. Innocent men women and children of a brave and sacrificing community were killed on the streets of Delhi for no fault of theirs.
This is something I will never forget. Once I grew up and learnt more about the woman, I realised that she ended up reaping what she sowed.
For me Beant and Satwant Singh are heroes who freed the country from the evil clutches of the Gandhi mafia.
Annie Singh, USA
I was studying in first standard in a government lower primary school then.
One teacher, called Mohammed came to our class to announce this news. He was a strong person in our calculations, but he was shivering.
The school remained closed for a week. At that time we too hated Sikhs but we never heard the news of mass carnage which took place in the capital of India as a revenge to the prime minister's death.
Most of our media concealed the truth, and I was not in an age to understand the seriousness of those killings.
Now after two decades the picture is clear to me. I am a journalist now and trying to tell the world we were wrong. We are guilty.
Savad Rahman, India
I remember watching news coverage of the rioting that [followed] the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
I saw a Sikh woman running with her son (10-12yrs old) towards the line of army personnel. The Hindu mob chasing them caught them not more than 20 yards from the army line.
They put burning necklaces of tyres onto the unfortunate pair and burned them alive. The army stood and watched.
Those harrowing scenes will remain with me for the rest of my life.
I was seven years old when this event happened, and I can never forget what I went through that day.
I was enjoying a week long holiday with my mum, dad and sister in Kashmir and we had only just arrived the previous day when this incident happened, and then there was chaos everywhere.
We had trouble even getting out of our hotel, let alone going to the airport to catch a plane to go back to Mumbai.
We were listening to the news on the radio and found out that some people were celebrating the death of Indira Gandhi by bursting crackers, distributing sweets and hoisting Pakistan's flag in Kashmir.
Finally we somehow managed to catch a flight back and realised the enormity of the situation when we watched the news on TV.
I can never forget that day. I admired Indiraji for her courage and strength, her death was a great loss to India. May her soul rest in peace.
Shraddha Kane, UK
I was 14 years old and remember the day like it was yesterday.
We were in school and were sent home. Even though we were sikhs, we never supported any claims for Khalistan or Punjab, growing up in the capital since birth – we never thought in religious terms, we were also shocked and saddenned to hear about Mrs Gandhis death. She was a very instrumental politician.
We were home the next morning and went to the roof of our house. The sun could not be seen there was smoke everywhere. The stench of death and fire was in the air.
Suddenly we heard a loud roar and ran back inside.
Iit was a mob being led by a local congress leader with a list of electoral documents in his hand to exactly pinpoint where Sikhs were residing.
We hid in the house and later learnt that this mob had just set fire to various residences in our very posh Delhi neighbourhood and had just burnt down the local Sikh gurudwara.
The mob collected outside our house. I peeked from the second floor window and saw a group of about 50 people standing outside our gates with various weapons, while one person was going through some papers scanning them quickly.
Our relatives that lived on the first floor ran up also to join us and we all huddled in fear.
It seemed like the end was here and it would only be moments before the mob would break through the gates and set upon us.
And then I heard a voice, it was as if GOD had sent an angel to disperse the crowd. It was our next door Hindu neighbour and I remember him in a very firm yet authoratative tone talking to the mob.
He said all the people that live here are our own people.
Then for what seemed like an eternity the mob chanted some slogans and started to move on. We could hardly believe our luck. The will of GOD had saved us and this old neighbour with his commanding presence had talked the crowd to move on with a few simple words.
Those emotional scars have caused me to leave India at the age of 19 And I have not visited or gone back for almost 15 years.
It has turned me into a cynic who will not even visit India because of that one incident.
Bobby Singh, USA
I was four years old. My sister, cousin, brother, mother and me were walking back home in the afternoon from the school bus stop, when we heard someone yelling that Indira Gandhi had been killed.
Once we reached home we all sat around the radio, listening to the story in shock.
My next memories are of my uncle and the other men in our colony forming huge groups and patrolling the neighbourhood throughout the night armed with knifes, sticks etc. to protect the Sikh neighbours in our colony.
All Sikhs were given shelter in neighbours houses. The name plates in front of the houses were removed.
The young Sikh boys were dressed as girls, while others cut their hair.
There was so much tension in the air.
Anusha K Schneider, India
On 31 October 1984 I was due to fly to Calcutta on an SAS flight via Copenhagen from Gatwick. I was travelling with my father.
The weather was terrible in Gatwick and the airport was totally fog bound. My father and I watched as the "CANCELLED" sign flashed up on the departure board for practically every flight.
Our flight was one of the few for which there was no information. Long after the boarding time for the flight had come and gone our names were announced on the tannoy.
My mother, who had come to see us off, was still in the airport and suggested, very calmly, that we leave the departure lounge and forget about boarding.
We did so, thinking her concern must have been weather related. Only in the long car journey back to North Yorkshire, when we switched on the radio, did I realise the wisdom of her advice.
"After the assasination of Indira Gandhi…" came the presenter's voice. Even at my age I knew that spelt bloodshed.
Our flight might have been held in Karachi for hours and several travellers were thrown into the melée when they arrived in India that night.
Instead, I got home and went to bed. The next day was my 11th birthday.
Ms Sarma, UK
I am 32 years old now, I was about 12 years or so at the time.
You know it has been twenty years, twenty years! I cannot imagine. As I remember our first house in India was being built around that time, and we did not have TV in our home, so we watched the death ceremony in our neighour's house.
I remember the mourning of general public on TV and I vividly remember our greatest TV star Amitabh Bachhan crying for Indira Ghandhi.
I don't know how a person can be so attached to the prime minister of his/her country.
We watched the whole ceremony on the TV just like a soap opera. And we enjoyed our off days at school for 13 days. What can a 12 year boy can think of?
And I remember about the riots that happened in our small city. Bareilly, this is a city in north of India in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Usually Bareilly is a peace loving city, but I remember one incident. One of the friends of my eldest brother was a Sikh, and he had to cut off all his hair so that Hindus did not think him as a Sikh, and did not harm him.
And yeah there was curfew also in our small Mohalla (like a county in US) Subhash Nagar.
And I remember one more thing after the death, my another elder bought a book about Indira, with pictures of her.
I remember two pictures one Indira Ghandhi standing along the border (I don't remember which one Pakistan or China), and one Indira Ghandhi eating roasted corn.
Saharsh Shroteiya, USA
It was a sad demise of Mother Indira who was a role mother and an iron lady of India which is my second home.
Her good works would never go in vain. She was an example in every respect. I love her and shall ever have a respectful position in my heart.
I would like to salute her from the hight of Mount Everest for being Indira. I don't think anybody would be able to take her position.
Khem, Nepal
I still remember vividly the day Mrs Gandhi was killed by her sikh bodyguard; I was Just 11 years old at the time and hardly understood world politics and happennings around the world.
We were crazy about playing cricket those days and we used watch telecast on TV and the state owned Doordarshan in those days.
On that day India playing was test cricket with some country, and suddenly the match was suspended, that's what all I remember.
I have preserved the English newspaper which flashed the news of this shocking and unfortunate incident. I remember the banner headline of a tabloid newspaper, which said: "stop this madness," quoting Mr Rajiv Gandhi.
Indian politics was never the same again. We had a rough and tumultous time afterwards. Hundreds of innocent Sikhs lost their lives and the scars are still fresh for many of them.
Mrs Gandhi was successful in defeating Sikh militancy who demanded a separate Sikh land called Khalistan.
But the repercussions were dangerous and she was eventually assassinated in a very inhuman and dastardly fashion. Henceforward India was never the same again.
Nawal Thorat, India
I was 12 year old at the time and remember how happy we were to get a day off from the school.
My father being a staff of the Ministry of Defence thought that it would be safe enough to do some shopping in evening.
As we were riding on scooter to the market we were stopped by some angels (Hindus of course) telling us not to proceed any further.
My father was confused as to why would any one attack a Sikh and his child particularly when he was in the army.
He did however take their advice and we returned. The next few days were the scariest days of my life.
Thousands of Sikhs were reported killed, innocent girls raped by crowds. Police stood watching… We survived due to our helpful and kind hearted South Indian neighbours but the scars will remain for the rest of my life.
Ranveer Singh, Hong Kong
I have vivid memories of this day working as trainee doctor at Rajendra Prasad Centre which was the Eye Unit of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences where Mrs Gandhi was taken for further treatment.
It was a Wednesday mid-morning when I suddenly noticed the out patient department, which is normally full of people was empty, and when I managed to look out of the clinic, I could see a sea of humanity in the main quadangle in front of private wards.
By then, even before the BBC annouced her death, rumours had gone around and her Sikh body guards were implicated. This set off mini riots in the hospital and President Zail Singh's car was attacked and the Indian President had to be whisked away through the back door.
By evening when I was doing the ward rounds the anti-Sikh riots were in full swing and ordinary Sikh man was chased down the corridors of the hospital by an angry mob in an attempt to attack him.
I did manage to save this man's life by giving him an eye patch asking him to occupy one the empty beds in the hospital and requested him to pretend to be one of the patients. The angry mob eventually left the hospital without succeding to get their victim.
Meanwhile Mrs Gandhi had also donated her eyes for corneal grafting and unfortunately in the political storm the eyes could not retrieved in time. It would have been a great advertisement for eye donation in India and I still think was a missed opportunity.
Dr Raghu Ram, UK
I was out playing with my friends when my grandmother told me that we are going to a friends' place to watch Indira Gandhi's funeral on colour TV. We had a black and white television and I'd never seen a colour TV, so I agreed. That's when I found out she was our prime minister. My mum, then pointed out, "Remember the Operation Bluestar incident?" [the storming of the Sikh Golden Temple at Amritsar by the Indian Army] "Some say she got killed cause of that".
Our family was heading for Jammu and Kashmir then (on day of operation blue star) and our train had a routine stop in Amritsar (in Punjab), but it stayed there longer than expected. We got down and refreshed ourselves with a cup of coffee when my mom came running towards me and said we have to abandon this train and take another one that was arriving shortly and moving away from Punjab.
We boarded the other train in a matter of minutes with many people hanging to the door. Our parents threw us in and my dad got in when the train was still in motion. As we exited the station, we saw men running around with lit torches. That's all I could remember. I later learnt that people were reacting to the Operation Bluestar incident.
My mom described Indira as "a lady who tried to make a difference to the citizens of Mother India". Some of my friends (sikh) friends believed that she was being punished for the Operation Bluestar incident, in which she played an instrumental role.
We still have a picture of Rajiv and Indira Gandhi hanging from our walls to this day. We deck them with flowers, a custom for bestowing respect to the ones that have crossed over (dead).

Those who wanted to avenge the murder attacked Sikh targets such as this taxi
Thousands came to mourn Indira Gandhi

Studying for the LSAT / Re: should I change my test date to october?« on: May 20, 2013, 08:36:10 AM »
Most schools are now taking the highest score, and most schools will tell you this on their web sites. check out a couple of schools you want to go to. My advice is to take the test now, the practice will always do you good, and if you feel good after the test see what your score is. If you feel you bombed it, then cancel your score and take it again in the fall.

Intel Makes 14nm ARM for Altera
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Altera's deal in June to use Intel's 14 nm FinFET process took an interesting twist when the FPGA designer announced today it will pack ARM's 64-bit cores into its chips. That means Intel will fabricate starting in 2014 high-end Altera Stratix 10 parts that use four ARM Cortex-A53 cores.
Altera says the Stratix 10 devices -- which will also have embedded DSPs and other logic -- will be its highest performance parts to date. They target a broad range of apps from search engine accelerators to communications data plane processors and radar guidance and security processing.
The deal may give Intel pause about its outsourcing strategy. To date the chip giant has experimented with offering its leading-edge fab processes as foundry services to a handful of chip designers, Altera being one of its largest planned customers to date.
Intel is also experimenting with licensing its x86 core. It made a brief effort several years ago to license its mobile Atom through TSMC, but it failed to gain traction. More recently it announced it will license its even lower end Quark x86 though it has not disclosed terms or any initial customers.
Industry watchers will be interested to kick the tires on the combination of Intel's leading-edge process and ARM's 64-bit cores. Altera claims the Stratix 10 parts in Intel's 14nm process will provide FPGA "performance over one gigahertz, two times the core performance of current high-end 28-nm FPGAs."
The ARMv8 is aimed primarily at driving the architecture into servers and communications, markets where the x86 has dominant and rising positions, respectively, and ARM is starting from nearly zero. To be a credible player in these markets, ARM added hardware virtualization and ECC protection on L1 and L2 cache designs, features the x86 has long supported.
Altera noted the Cortex-A53 core can run in 32-mode, which will run Cortex-A9 operating systems and code unmodified. The backward compatibility will ease the transition to ARMv8 for Altera's 28 and 20nm SoC customers, it said.
Both Altera and ARM are focusing on the OpenCL programming environment for parallel programming jobs. They see OpenCL as their best shot as a de facto standard in a fragmented sector of options from Microsoft (DirectCompute), Google (Renderscript), and Nvidia (Cuda).
In terms of fab processes, Intel is seen as a node ahead of the competition. It is now ramping up 14nm FinFET process. Foundry rival TSMC is ramping up its 20nm process now but does not expect to have a version with FinFETs ready for commercial use until late next year.

Announcement for Swarmfest 2012
Email Inquiries to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Test will take place in Downtown Charlotte, N.C. July 29-31, 2012, hosted by the Complex Systems Institute at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte (http://complexity.uncc.edu/). The conference venue is the UNCC Center City Building http://centercity.uncc.edu/. Local Map http://centercity.uncc.edu/map-and-directions and Parking http://centercity.uncc.edu/parking
Registration can be accomplished at http://www.cvent.com/d/tcqqgn
Swamfest is the annual meeting of the Swarm Development Group (SDG), and one of the oldest communities involved in the development and propagation of agent-based modeling. Swarmfest has traditionally involved a mix of both tool-users and tool-developers, drawn from many domains of expertise. These have included, in the past, computer scientists, software engineers, biomedical researchers, ecologists, economists, political scientists, social scientists, resource management specialists and evolutionary biologists. Swarmfest represents a low-key environment for researchers to explore new ideas and approaches, and benefit from a multi-disciplinary environment.
This year we will continue to examine the range of systems being modeled with ABM, with the possibility of providing some guidance as to the suitability of the various types of agent-based models for particular types of modeling goals. We also encourage the sharing of our experiences with attempting to gain acceptance of ABM within our own research communities, and discuss strategies where cross-domain examples/analogies can aid in that process. We will also try to identify future avenues for ABM research, including the "next" generation of ABM tools, platforms and application.
Watch this page for upcoming news on program and logistics.
Hope to see you in Charlotte! Template:Posted
New version of Objective-C Swarm for Windows
There is a new binary (and source) release of Swarm that works with MinGW, a compiler that produces Windows executables. Advantages of this new way to use Swarm in Windows:
- Windows executables can be launched directly from Windows, without needing to launch from inside a Unix-like environment.
- Swarm models can be distributed for use on any Windows computer, without requiring Swarm or MinGW to be installed.
- Faster execution than Cygwin Swarm.
See the yellow "Swarm Software" box on this page. Template:Posted

How to Choose the Best Location for Your Business
How to Choose the Best Location for Your Business
Whether it's Main Street or Silicon Valley, your business location can mean the difference between success and failure. But more than that, your business location is the linchpin for your reputation, your brand, and your profits.
In fact, choosing a business location is perhaps the single most important decision a small business owner or startup will make, so it requires precise planning and research. It involves looking at demographics, assessing your supply chain, scoping the competition, staying on budget, understanding how state laws and taxes might impact you, and so much more.
Here are some tips to help you choose the right business location.
What are your needs?
Most businesses choose a location that will provide exposure and drive foot traffic or volume to their location. That makes features like parking, pedestrian and vehicular access, the reputation of the neighborhood, and the proximity of other businesses all factors to consider.
However, there are other less obvious factors and needs to consider as well. For example:
- Brand image – Is the location consistent with the image you want to maintain?
- Competition – Are the businesses around you complementary or competing? Some businesses, such as retail stores, benefit from being in a retail hub alongside the competition. Others may be at a disadvantage if located close to competition.
- Local labor market – Does the area have what you need in terms of potential employees? Can they make it into work without encountering hellish traffic?
- Plan for future growth – If you anticipate further growth, preempt the need for multiple moves by looking for a building that has extra space you can expand into should you need it. Your budget should also include cost estimates for furniture, utilities, and IT needs.
- Proximity to suppliers – They need to be able find you easily, too.
- Safety – What's the crime rate? Will employees feel safe alone in the building or walking to their vehicles?
- Zoning regulations – These determine whether you can actually conduct your type of business in certain properties or locations. You can find out how property is zoned by contacting your local planning agency.
What about the money factor?
Besides working out what you can afford, you'll need to be aware of some other financial considerations:
- Hidden Costs – Very few spaces are walk-in ready. Don't forget to include costs like renovation, decorating, IT system upgrades, and so on in your budget.
- Taxes – What are the income tax and sales tax rates for your state? These vary greatly. What about property taxes? Could you locate your business across a nearby state line and pay less in taxes? This article on AOL Small Business from SBA guest blogger, Barbara Weltman, stacks up The Best and Worst States for Small Business Taxes.
- Minimum Wage – While the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, many states have a higher minimum. For example, in Washington state the minimum is $9.04 per hour. If you are re-locating your business, this might negatively impact payroll costs. View the Department of Labor's list of minimum wage rates by state.
- Government Economic Incentives – Business location can determine whether you qualify for government economic business programs, such as state-specific small business loans and other financial incentives.
Does the state or community offer business support resources?
Getting good advice about laws and regulations on business ownership in a particular location is essential. Likewise, as you look to grow your business, it can be advantageous to work with a small business specialist or counselor. Check what programs and support your state government and local community offer to small businesses. Many states offer online tools to help small business owners start up and succeed. Virginia.gov's Business One Stop is just one example. Local in-person community resources that specifically support small businesses include SBA Offices, Small Business Development Centers, Women's Business Centers and other government-funded training, mentoring and counseling programs. Find out if there are any in your location here.
What's the bottom line?
Do your research, because getting your business location wrong can be costly. Talk to other business owners and potential co-tenants, work with a mentor, and use available resources, such as these free demographics from SBA.gov, to help in your efforts.

Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo DS
I am really astonished with the popularity of the Dragon Quest series in Japan. Being one of the grandfathers of Japanese role playing game, Japanese people shows an understandable affection towards this game. When there is a new series set for release, the country is always in frenzy; and excitement rains down through the avid fans of the game. However, The Dragon Quest series is not just a hit in Japan but it is already hitting strides in the U.S.
The new series entitled Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies is exclusively playable on Nintendo DS. The new series features character classes, item creation plus impressive multiplayer functions. It is as charming as it has always been; however, some features of the new series particularly the battle system is far too traditional.
The game starts by creating your character with the use of the game's creation system. This gives you the chance to be creative when selecting the face type, hair style, etc. of your character. After you have created your character, you start off playing as a member of an angelic race of guardians. You have the opportunity and the duty to guide and protect mortals in the game. The gameplay lets you collect glowing seeds of light that has to be offered to the great tree Yggdrasil. The goal of your race is to let the tree bear fruit, which in turn becomes a symbol of ascension to the Almighty's throne.
However, the adventure does not stop there as your hero is stripped off of his wings and halo and eventually cast down towards the land of the mortals. And this is where the challenge begins: you have to find (the player's) your way back home.
As mentioned earlier, the new series has features that are traditional particularly JRPG's. It is not a surprise to Dragon Quests loyal fans, however. Basically, the gameplay is all about getting into a battle by which a party can control at least four characters. You have the task of issuing orders to your party on how to fight off enemies.
The entire feature of the game - especially when it comes to battles - revolves around selecting the right option such as to attack or use some magic item. Your primary concern is the health and status of your party. The most exciting part is having boss fights. Your party encounters danger all throughout. The whole aspect of the game is quite conventional and traditional already. It won't be much of a problem to the loyal gamers of the series but it may pose quite a challenge to those who are still beginners.
The positive features of this game include the number of different characters or Vocations as they are called in the game. There are Warriors, Mages, Priests, Thieves and Martial Artists. The strength of your party is totally dependent on the Vocations you choose.
The game is a multiplayer oriented game. Your friends need to also have their own copy of the game to be part of your party. If can't find enough friends that have this game, you get a chance to choose vocations from your A.I. allies. It is quite a task to try and finish the game on your own. But there is a caveat when you create A.I allies; they don't have emotions. They don't do dialogues and they lack personality. This can create boredom for you as no interactions are going to happen.
A good move is to engage more often in the game's multiplayer. You can create your game and let others join you to create a team. This is great system as it promotes team play for different players in the game. Other players can help in your quests and some can just wander off in the map. For players who just want to help their friend, the game itself provides a reward as you may receive treasures and money as well.
There's still a lot of room for improvement in the game particularly the feature where your character's appearance change when you switch battle gears. The features have not been exploited and elaborated well but you can probably expect some more improvements in future versions of this franchise series. The game is fun and exciting. It is a worthy investment and absolutely worth your time.

ARMONK, N.Y., May 17, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- IBM IBM, -1.15% today announced new software to help organizations extend crucial business applications running on System z mainframes to web, cloud and mobile environments. The software's performance improvements will enable companies to significantly reduce operating costs while helping businesses seamlessly and efficiently extend services for support of modern infrastructures.
Today, nearly 15 percent of all new enterprise application functionality is written in COBOL. The programming language also powers many everyday services such as ATM transactions, check processing, travel booking and insurance claims. With more than 200 billion lines of COBOL code being used across industries such as banking, insurance, retail and human resources, it is crucial for businesses to have the appropriate framework to improve performance, modernize key applications and increase productivity.
IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, enables developers to deliver significant performance improvements in their business critical applications. For example, applications using the new compiler have shown performance increases of 10 to 20 percent.
"COBOL powers many of the critical systems people rely on everyday," said Kevin Stoodley, Rational chief technology officer and IBM Fellow. "With this new software, IBM is helping companies reduce operating costs and processing time associated with these applications while delivering new capabilities to take advantage of cloud, Web and mobile devices."
The new software helps companies deliver innovative solutions to their customers and reduce costs by:
-- Providing support for Java 7, new UTF-8 built-ins, debugging enhancements, and support for unbounded tables and groups.
-- Supporting a new level of z/OS System Management Facilities (SMF) tracking, which allows users who implement sub-capacity tracking to reduce their administrative overhead.
-- Improving control over XML documents with the z/OS XML parser, allowing parsing workload to be off loaded to specialty engines to reduce operating costs.
IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS v5.1 compiler works with the latest versions of IBM Customer Information Control System (CICS), Information Management System (IMS) and DB2 software and is expected to be available later this quarter.
IBM was recently named the number one vendor in the Gartner market share for Application Development software with 22.4% share (Gartner, Market Share: All Software Markets, Worldwide, 2012, March 29, 2013).

Arecibo is the largest city in geographical size on the island. Located in the Northern Coastal Valley region, adjacent to karst zone characterized by the presence of caves and wooded hills. Arecibo is bordering the Atlantic Ocean, north of Utuado and Lares; east of Hatillo; and west of Barceloneta and Florida.
The city is bathed by two rivers, Grande de Arecibo, which runs through the middle of the city and the Tanamá River.
Arecibo is known as La Villa del Capitán Correa, in memory of a battle fought successfully on its shores by Captain Antonio de los Reyes Correa and a handful of Spanish Army soldiers to repel a British invasion by sea lead by Admiral Whelstone in August 5, 1702.
Settled in 1556, Arecibo became the third Spanish settlement. Founded sixty years later, in 1616, when the King of Spain granted that section of land and the Indians on it to Lope Conchillos, under the governorship of Captain Felipe de Beaumont y Navarra. The leader (Indian chief) of these Indians was called Jamaica Aracibo, their yucayeque was named after him and ultimately the town was called by that same name.
The town is also known as La Muy Leal Villa (very loyal).
Points of Interest
You can visit Cueva del Indio, an archeological site, the cave is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, in Bo. Islote. It it is called The Cave of the Indian, because drawings of the Indians that lived in this area in the Prehistoric Era were found in the walls of the cave. Rt 681 Km 7.8.
The town has an official U.S. port entry. Located 16 km (10 mi) south of Arecibo, Arecibo Observatory is a astronomical observatory, which is one of the world's most powerful radar-radio telescopes, and the largest single-unit radio telescope in the world. This instrument, inaugurated in 1963, employs a 1,000-foot (300 meter) spherical reflector consisting of perforated aluminum panels that focus incoming radio waves on movable antenna structures positions about 500 feet (168 meter) above the reflector surface. The antenna can be moved in any direction, making it possible to track a celestial object in different regions of the sky. It collects radio astronomy, terrestrial aeronomy, and planetary radar data for scientists around the world. The telescope was featured in the movies GoldenEye (1995) and Contact (1997).
The National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center developed the observatory and it is operated by Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. Conceived in 1958 by William E. Gordon, a Cornell professor of electrical engineering, the radio observatory has been operated, since its completion in 1963. The Arecibo Observatory owned by Cornell University, is powerful enough to receive signals transmitted by a comparable telescope located 1,000 light-years away. The facilities are open to the public Wednesday-Friday noon-4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 9am - 4pm. Route 625, Bo. Esperanza, (787) 878-2612.
Arecibo is also home of the Cambalache Forest Reserve known as vivero or nursery because it contains plantations of eucalyptus, teak, and mahoe trees. Camping allowed in two areas. Water and showers, 8 trails and nearby beach. Rd #682 km 6.6., (787) 724-3724.
The City Hall built in 1866, served as jail to "El Grito de Lares" participants in 1868. In 1918, the frontal section of the building was destroyed by a earth tremor. Repairs were made and a tower and clock were added to the building. In 1978, the building was restored to its original form.
The Antonio Nery Juarbe Airport is located five miles southeast of the central business district of Arecibo and 50 miles west of San Juan. Originally utilized for military purposes, today, the airport is utilized for the general aviation, with a daily average of eight takeoffs and landings. On March 31, 1947, the airport and all its installations were transferred by the Navy U.S. to the Authority of the Ports along with the Airport of Mayagüez and the old airport of Santa Isabel.
The Arecibo Lighthouse built by the Spaniards in 1898. This lighthouse still in use and was automated in 1964. In the premises, you'll find a museum with exhibits, a recreation area, a restaurant and sports facilities. Open Tue-Fri 9am-6pm, Sat-Sun 10am-7pm. Admissions: Adults $9, Children $7 and Parking $2. Carr. #655 Bo. Islote Sector El Muelle, (787) 880-7540.

Anthem: Arecibo
The flag of Arecibo derives its composition and colors from the Shield of the City. It is divided vertically in two equal parts. The left side is blue having a belt that stands for "Captain Correa", a local military hero from Spanish times. The right side is made up of blue and yellow diamonds alternating in a checkerboard pattern.
The shield is divided by diagonal lines in golden and blue rhombuses with a blue stripe in the superior part, in which resides an opened five-point crown and which is adorned with drawings characterizing the art of the Taínos. This combination of symbols represents the Indian Cacique (Chieftain) from whom the population's name derives, the governor that erected the town and the hero Captain Correa who defended it.
Arecibo annual precipitation is around 53.01 inches and the average temperature is 77.8°F. June is the warmest, February is the coolest, and May is the wettest month.

Today: cherries and the Valley mind.
Today: cherries and the Valley mind.
In the past few days, the media reported that climate change threatens Valley crops. What is interesting about this is most Valley farmers don't believe in climate change.
Farmers are realists; but most Valley farmers reject (what I believe to be) global warming reality. Something in the Valley's conservative mindset impels them to.
"The climate does change," said cherry grower Bruce Fry. "It's not, in my opinion, because of humans. Look what volcanoes can do."
Fry does not believe greenhouse gases are causing the greenhouse effect. Rather, he believes the Earth's vast weather cycles bring changes naturally.
It doesn't change his mind that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has warned Valley farmers to prepare for climate change by finding warmer-weather crops.
"The problem is I don't trust Uncle Sam," Fry said.
Government alienates Valley farmers mainly with its regulations. Farmers resent regulations as intrusive, ill-conceived and bad for business - which sometimes they are.
"These guys up at their offices in Sacramento or Washington, D.C., need to get out of their offices and see what is reality, not according to their spreadsheet and the book," Fry said.
Nor does it persuade him that the overwhelming majority of scientists agree the Earth is warming.
The state Department of Water Resources, for example, said spring runoff has declined 10 percent over the past 100 years; double that in recent years.
A recent University of California, Davis, study found Valley "chilling hours" - cold temperatures required by many crops (including cherries) - have declined up to 30 percent.
"Usually there's two sides to the scientific data, too," Fry said. "Just like in statistics, you can manipulate that one way or the other."
Fry has been keeping records of chilling hours back to the 1990s. His data shows no warming trend.
"This year we had a beautiful crop," Fry said.
Global warming denial would seem to set Valley agriculture up for a huge fall. Ag needs to be preparing for climate change by testing warmer-weather crops, finding new chemicals and devising new water policies.
So why deny?
Of course, reasonable people can disagree; climate skeptics may be right. But I believe they are wrong, and more, that their wrongness says something about the Valley.
"Conservatives tend to be individualists," writes Chris Mooney, author of "The Republican Brain," "meaning, essentially, that they prize a system in which government leaves you alone. ..."
Global warming implies free market failure. It implies dumb, heavy-handed Uncle Sam must intervene with regulation. It means leftist environmentalism.
All anathema to Valley conservatives. Although, curiously, buttinsky Uncle Sam is tolerable when he brings federal subsidies to crops or water, or bails out crop insurers.
Moreover, conservatism appeals to people who, by definition, resist change, Mooney writes.
So conservative's psychological and political leanings cause them to reject facts that, if accepted, would change the world in ways they see as deeply wrong.
How does this work?
Our beliefs exist in a web, said Ray Rennard, associate professor of philosophy at University of the Pacific. Most beliefs exist in logical relation.
"But the web is broad enough that there can be inconsistent beliefs," Rennard said.
When incompatible beliefs are brought to the fore, cognitive dissonance - holding conflicting opinions, beliefs or values - occurs, and must be resolved.
There are ways to do this.
"One of them is to deny," said Rennard. "Another is, ... we seek evidence that confirms our beliefs. We ignore evidence that disconfirms our beliefs."
Bias confirmation requires a "feedback mechanism," someone or something that affirms a person's bias.
In this context it's interesting to note that earlier in 2012, The Union of Concerned Scientists studied 40 Fox News segments on global warming.
The scientists found 37 of the 40 segments - 93 percent - misleading.
None of this is to discredit Valley farmers. On the contrary. They created a world-class farming region. They did so in part by being remarkably adaptive.
Ultimately, I believe, they will accept the evidence - especially when it hits their pocketbook. Probably they will innovate in a way that sets the standard for the world. Perhaps all humans stumble along with thought processes inadequate to the complexity of the world. But the specific weaknesses define different groups. In the Valley, people hate inconvenient truth.

Jason Aldean Holds Fans' Attention During Pre-Taped CMA Festival 'Fly Over States' Performance
For his second performance during the three-hour 'CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock' special, Jason Aldean wowed the audience by playing his big hit 'Fly Over States.' In the anthem, Aldean tips his hat to the often overlooked midwest states. Apparently, some of those fly over natives were in the audience when Aldean performed the song at LP Field in June, because they were screaming their heads off.
After hours of live music performances, it can be hard to keep the attention of an audience, but Aldean didn't seem to have any trouble. 'Fly Over States' spent some time in the top spot on the country music charts, and the award-winning singer's fans knew every word on TV on Monday.
Plus, it doesn't hurt that Aldean knows how to work in a sweet guitar solo in his songs. The country star expertly wielded his axe, in addition to making sure that his vocals didn't miss a single beat. The pre-taped 'CMA Music Festival' special aired on ABC on September 17, giving country music's most popular stars plenty of national airtime.

In the past, only processor use in batch jobs was considered when calculating RUs. The change in our charging policy will reflect the fact that memory is also a scarce resource that should be accounted for in RU charges. The proposed change affects only Oakley jobs that request more than 4GB memory per processor (core).
The Executive Committee of the Statewide Users Group (SUG) has endorsed this proposal based on the results of the public comment period.
Previously, we had asked users to voluntarily comply with restricting their memory use to the available per-core memory. On Oakley, this equates to 4GB/core. However, we observed a growing number of jobs that consumed more than this amount of memory, which can negatively impact other users on jobs requesting less than a full node (12 cores).
To understand the motivation behind the new charging policy, suppose job A uses 12 cores and 4GB memory while job B uses 1 core and 48GB memory. Both jobs use an entire node but job A is charged twelve times as much as job B under current policy. Under the new policy both are charged the same amount, equal to the current charge for 12 cores.
Technical solution – memory limits
Two technical changes were necessary to ensure that users have use of all the memory they are being charged for. These changes are implemented on Oakley only. Glenn is not affected.
First, the job submission system had to be modified to honor memory requests such as
nodes=1:ppn=1,mem=12GB; such requests did not work properly in the past. This change was rolled out in October, 2013. Jobs are allocated 4GB per core if they don't include an explicit memory request. So, for example, if you request
nodes=1:ppn=3, you will have an implicit memory limit of 12GB. Jobs requesting more than 48GB are allocated an entire large-memory node.
Second, a mechanism was needed to ensure that a job could not exceed its memory limit and encroach on memory allocated to other jobs. Memory containers, or cgroups, allow us to enforce the limits on Oakley. A job that exceeds its memory limit on a shared node will be killed by the batch system. Jobs running on whole nodes, i.e., ppn=12, all parallel jobs, and large-memory jobs, are allowed to use all memory available on the node and a large portion of swap space. A job that approaches the limit of memory+swap will be killed by the batch system.
A job that requests
nodes=1:ppn=1 will be assigned one core and will have access to 4GB of RAM (but no more than that). A job that requests
nodes=1:ppn=1,mem=12GB will only be assigned one core, but will have access to 12GB of RAM.
Charging policy change
A job that requests
nodes=1:ppn=3 will still be charged for 3 cores worth of Resource Units (RU). However, a job that requests
nodes=1:ppn=1,mem=12GB is currently only charged for 1 core worth of RU, in accordance with our current charging policy. Under our new policy, this job would be charged for 3 cores. Why?
effective cores = memory / memory per core
effective cores = 12GB / (4GB/core) = 3 core
The value for "effective cores" will be used in the regular RU calculation if larger than the explicit number of cores requested.
Jobs requesting more than 48GB memory are allocated (and charged for) an entire large-memory node.
Please note that this change has no charging impact on jobs that use full nodes, including parallel jobs.
Impact on users
By examining jobs on Oakley, we have determined that approximately 1% of our current jobs will be impacted by this change. About 8% of all jobs might see increased charges, but only because they are requesting more memory than they actually need - and thus could avoid the increased charges by adjusting their scripts.
We expect about 1 in 5 users to be impacted by this change.
Only about 0.5% of all jobs will require a script change to avoid cancellation, as many of our users with memory requirements in excess of 4GB/core are already requesting memory limits in their jobs.
Well-behaved jobs using less than a whole node will benefit because other jobs will no longer be able to infringe on their memory or cause an out-of-memory node crash.
Per-job estimate of charges
The job epilog with usage statistics for each job will contain information about the what jobs are being charged under the new policy, along with a link to this document.
Public comment period
A public comment period was held to determine how users responded to this change, with positive results. The comment period ended June 5th, 2014.
Q: Does this impact Glenn?
A: No. Glenn does not support memory containers, and will likely be decommissioned within the next 12 months. On Glenn you must request enough cores (ppn) to cover your memory requirements at 3GB/core.
Q: What if I do not use a lot of memory in my jobs?
A: If you are using less than 4GB/core on Oakley and are not explicitly requesting more memory, you will not see any change in your job costs.
Q: I am using one of the bigmem (192GB of RAM) or hugemem (1TB of RAM) nodes. Will I see a change in my job charges?
A: Possibly. Jobs on these nodes are allocated the whole node. Hugemem jobs are already charged for the whole node (32 cores), but bigmem jobs are currently charged only for the number of cores requested. With the policy change, bigmem jobs will be charged for the whole node (12 cores).
Q: I run parallel jobs. Will I see a change in my job charges?
A: No. Your jobs are already charged for entire nodes, and thus are already allocated all of the RAM. You will see no changes.
Q: I am an academic user. Does this mean I will have to start paying for RU?
A: No. This is a change to the RU formula to account for memory use beyond 4GB/core. RUs allocated to academic research projects conducted by Ohio researchers are still fully subsidized by the State of Ohio; some individual jobs may cost you more RU than they would have previously.

Thread: Pnock
05-30-2017 #1
Late Sunday afternoon I fished the upper Pnock with a 3wt. and a small handful of dry flies. I started off at the overpass with a size 14 chartreuse Humpy as there were absolutely no bugs over the water. I thought that I might raise a fish on this attractor which has been good to me on other small wild trout streams. After about 45 minutes and almost a half mile of stream, I had not even a looker to show for my endeavors. So I switched to a size 14 Grey Fox and continued upstream, casting to likely looking holding water. Well the Grey Fox made all the difference as I soon started getting some lookers and takers. The next 45 minutes produced four browns to hand and a couple more long releases.
I left the stream at about 7 pm and at that time there were still no bugs on the water except for the usual midges.

A few months ago I did very well. The river has been too high and dirty as of late, when things clear I'll be back out in the kayak.

Re: Pnock
Damn Humpy's. I have a box of them I use to create artificial hatches with. I toss them off the bridge by the handful then rush downstream before the flies get there. It's like chumming but with dry flies.
