One second is just about exactly what it takes to crash a computer (or a digital clock, or a digital coffee maker, or...grrr). Maddening, as somebody is ALWAYS doing something critical right when the power bobbles -- just for a second. Crash. Boom. There goes the homework. I've recently started putting my home computers (which are all members of my home cluster:-) on $50 cheap UPS because they are enough to sustain a system across these frequent, short, outages. I don't need even minutes -- just a few seconds worth of protection. Minute or longer outages are MUCH rarer, and tend to be associated with things like ice storms, hurricanes, nuclear disasters. Well, not THAT much rarer... I also was motivated by a home system that blew power supply, motherboard, hard disk and at least three cards. Maybe it was a surge, maybe not, but a cheap UPS is also a good surge protector, and only $20 more than a good surge protector alone. So far, the two I've gotten have worked fine through a few of these short outages, and I'll probably get one more (as I still have one computer without one). I don't know if I'd try scaling up to a whole "real" cluster this way, though -- there are more cost effective ways to do cluster nodes;-) rgb -- Robert G.

Got eclipse fever but not sure where to go for the best view?
The first visible total solar eclipse in over 25 years takes place Monday. Aug. 21 starting at 1:44 p.m. It peaks around 2:45 and ends at 4 p.m.
The moon will cover about 75 percent of the sun in our area, but you'll still get to experience this rare celestial event. Just head to the following nearby locales -- and keep your fingers crossed for clear skies. Remember, too, to pack your eclipse glasses.
- Garret Mountain Reservation, Woodland Park: The 75-foot Lambert Observation Tower offers a large amount of open space for optimal viewing. Best to face NYC.
- Overpeck County Park, Ridgefield Park: Head to the area by Overpeck Creek or go to the boat launch by the Equestrian Center for prime spots.
- Ramapo Mountain State Forest, Oakland and Ringwood: You'll need to hike a bit but the Lakeshore Path around Ramapo Lake offers a gap in the trees, making for an ideal viewing spot. The Wanaque Ridge trail also offers good western views.
- Richard W. DeKorte Park, Lyndhurst: DeKorte Park in the Meadowlands features miles of walking paths and panoramic views of the wetlands, perfect for looking up. Also recommended: The March Discovery Trail or the Kingsland Overlook.

There are hate filled fringe groups in every religion.
When Christians put him there - for what ever reason. My guess is they needed an adversary and said adversary needed his own special day.When did the Devil come into Halloween
There are hate filled fringe groups in every religion.
First things first, Halloween is not interchangeable with Samhain. They came about in different cultures, for different reasons, and only became intertwined in a few specific cultural areas at a fairly late date.
Samhain is a Celtic festival, specifically Gaelic. Though it has comparative traditions in Wales and Cornwall. Samhain is likely pre-Christian in origin and has significance in Gaelic mythology. It probably commemorated the transformation from Autumn into Winter and the last of the major harvests. It was placed, by custom, around what we define as early November; it probably varied a bit based on astronomical or climatological indicators.
Halloween came about in relation to All Saint's Day, as an evening of celebration the night before All Hallow's. The feast of All Saints originally was placed in early May, by the Pope, as a day of pilgrimage to commemorate the interment of certain Saints' relics in Rome. It wasn't changed to November 1st until almost two centuries later, out of public health concerns because Rome was struck with a really terrible fever epidemic in the summer. It had basically nothing to do with Samhain.
Now, yes, elements of Samhain were grafted onto Halloween. But it's not like them big, bad Christians came to Ireland to steal the folks' holidays and sewed a cross on 'em. These were cultural customs that were basically undisturbed in the Christianization process. Yes, certain mythological elements and the gods were altered significantly; the development of fairy folklore is probably, at least in part, an adjustment of polytheistic gods into lesser spirits that could be accepted by Christian folklore. But by and large, Samhain was not drastically altered. It remained a popular celebration up through the Early Modern Period. Instead, what happened is that because Samhain and Allhallow's were celebrated simultaneously, they exchanged concepts and practices. The same applies to Halloween, which eclipsed both as a popular night for revelry before the start of the solemnity. The overly strong focus on death and mortality in Halloween probably owes far more to All Saint's Day than it does to Samhain. Keep in mind, this was pretty much only in the British Isles, specifically the Gaelic countries. The imports from Samhain are likely the practice of divination, apple-bobbing games, the emphasis on Autumn and the Harvest, and fairy lore. The ubiquity of ghost stories are probably a point where Samhain's fairy folklore crosses paths with Allhallow's emphasis on the dead.
As far as the Devil being placed in relation to Halloween? That's almost certainly an invention of the Protestant Reformation, and its attempt to demonize Catholicism and its macabre sensibilities. It was more of a Protestant dig against Catholics, than it was any kind of a Christian insert against the Celts (who had, keep in mind, converted to Christianity long before the Saxons did).

Jen's firm held its holiday party last night, at the St. Regis Hotel in midtown Manhattan. And it was a rollicking time, with an open bar, passed hors d'œuvres, a long buffet table, and the annual talent-show face-off between the attorneys and the support staff. Which is less painful to watch than it sounds.
I took ample use of the open bar, so much so that I'm really feeling it this morning. When I wasn't drinking red wine or mineral water, my drink of choice all evening was Dewar's on the rocks. Can't really screw that up. Some ice, a healthy pour of scotch, and the imbiber is ready for action.
Jen started on champagne, switched to red wine, and then after hosting the talent show, moved over to Manhattans. I went up to the bar for her first one, and aside from not having bitters, it was an okay drink–two parts Canadian whiskey to one part sweet vermouth, stirred and strained into a cocktail glass. I was impressed that the bartender didn't just sort of wave the vermouth bottle around the mixing glass or something, but he seemed to know what he was doing.
It was later that things were dodgy. A different barkeep was working, and when I asked for a Manhattan, he just sort of blinked at me slowly. He thought for a minute and grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniel's, poured that, and then blinked at me again. "Uh, sweet vermouth, right?" I said, "Yes, please," but further held my tongue.
Sweet Christmas!
If you can't get a good Manhattan in Manhattan, the world is completely falling to shit.

Find North Dakota animal shelters, puppy dog and cat shelters, pet adoption centers, dog pounds, and humane societies. Animal shelters provide information on adopting dogs, cats, and pets, animal care and rescue, and animal control.
Animal Shelters provide temporary housing and care for stray, unwanted, and owner-relinquished animals. A wide range of additional services may also be offered at an Animal Shelter. These services are determined by how the Animal Shelter is organized and funded.
Many Animal Shelters are owned and managed by private, non-profit organizations whose mission is to provide for animal welfare. Promoting animal adoption is usually a central component of these shelters' operations. These shelters frequently offer educational programs on pet ownership, spay and neuter services, and preventive health services such as vaccinations in order to support their efforts to find permanent homes for animals. Animal Shelters may charge fees for adoption and other services, but most also rely on grants and private donations to support their operations.
Animal Shelters may also be operated as part of a county or local government animal control agency. These shelters may offer many or all of the services commonly found at private, non-profit shelters. However, these shelters also undertake a range of activities related to animal control enforcement, including impounding stray animals, investigating animal cruelty, enforcing licensing laws, and rescuing trapped animals. Animals housed by animal control agencies are usually made available for adoption unless they are determined to be too aggressive, injured, or sick. Animals available for adoption through an animal control agency may be held for a set period of time in order to give owners an opportunity to claim and retrieve a pet or to allow time to complete an investigation. Animal control agencies may charge fees for their services as well as issue fines for violations of animal-related laws.
Many Animal Shelters are public-private partnerships, where an animal control agency contracts with a private entity to manage and operate a shelter.
Most states license Animal Shelters and have requirements for minimum kennel size, outdoor space, and other physical features of shelters. Regulations may also address operational issues, such as minimum exercise and outdoor time requirements for animals, disease prevention procedures, and the general care of animals.

7 People Dead, Including Gunman, In Mass Shooting At Sikh Temple Near Milwaukee!
"The shooter was a white male in his 30s, Ven Boba Ri, one of the temple's committee members, tells the Journal-Sentinel. "It's pretty much a hate crime," he tells the news organization. "It's not an insider." The incident unfolded, Ri told the Journal-Sentinel, after the shooter walked up to a priest who was standing outside and shot him. The shooter then went inside and began firing at others, according to Ri. Police so far have not indicated any known motive. Update at 3:18 p.m. ET: The Indian Embassy reports that it is monitoring the situation and that it is in touch with the National Security Council over the incident, CNN is reporting. President Obama, who the White House reports touched down in Washington via the Marine One helicopter about 40 minutes ago, has been informed of the situation, CNN also reports. About an hour ago, a Facebook page encouraging members of the public to pray for the victims of the Sikh temple shooting was launched. Police and fire departments are handling a shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., south of Milwaukee, where at least seven people, including the gunman, are dead, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other news organizations. At least three people, including a police officer who exchanged shots with the suspect, have been injured and taken to a hospital." - USA TODAY

For a so-called friendly, this was a needlessly excessive tackle by De Jong, who afterwards shrugged it off, saying: "Such offences are part of football. I went for the ball and got the opponent at the end."
Yes you did, and there was absolutely no need to get the opponent in this case. I like De Jong but this is a black mark for him.
Tough break for Holden, who will be out for up to two months with a fractured right fibula, and also for his club Bolton Wanderers, who could really use the young American in the Prem run-in.

Merle Douce rarely went to a doctor.
Then, in 2004, doctors told him that one of his coronary arteries was completely blocked. Since then, the Northwest Side resident has seen his doctor every three months for regular blood draws and exams. He also gets regular preventive screenings for prostate and colon cancers.
Merle Douce rarely went to a doctor.
"I was like a typical male," he said. "We just don't make time to do it. I suppose we believe that we're invincible and that (bad things) happen to other people, not me."
Then, in 2004, doctors told him that one of his coronary arteries was completely blocked. Since then, the Northwest Side resident has seen his doctor every three months for regular blood draws and exams. He also gets regular preventive screenings for prostate and colon cancers.
"I just make time ... it's not that big of a deal," said Douce, 61.
So why is it that not going to see a doctor regularly is more common for men than women?
For one thing, women are taught in their early 20s to see their physician yearly for pap tests, and it becomes a habit.
"Women get used to seeing their doctor when they're healthy," said Dr. David Neiger, a North Side primary-care physician who is Douce's doctor. "Men don't have any preventive testing done until their 40s, so they're not used to it. It's a lot easier to get women to do preventative care."
It's not uncommon to hear men well into their 40s or 50s say they haven't been to a physician since they were children.
Dr. Caleb Adler, a psychiatrist at the University of Cincinnati, said this is understandable because going to the doctor is "not a pleasurable experience."
There is the gown, the cold table, the needles, the poking and prodding, and being told to go on a diet and exercise more.
"In the back of their heads they think, 'Nothing good comes from seeing a doctor,'" Adler said. "You never walk out of seeing a doctor feeling better than you did when you walked in.
"There's no positive reinforcement to going, and after a certain age, you don't get a lollipop anymore."
Got a pain? How about a rash? Men might consider seeing a doctor, but many are likely to wait it out, Adler said.
"For most of our lives and for most of the time, if you ignore it, it will go away."
But ignoring minor issues can lead to major problems. And people who don't have a family doctor can end up seeking emergency care. "When we see them in the emergency department, they're pretty much very reluctant to be there," said Dr. John Drstvensek, chief medical officer of Mid-Ohio Emergency Services, which provides emergency services at Grant Medical Center and Riverside and Dublin Methodist hospitals.
"It's really some acute emergency - whether it be a heart attack or kidney stone - and usually a female or significant other wants them to be there."
And men, Drstvensek said, usually give inaccurate medical histories and are vague about important details, such as how long they've had chest pains.
It's the women who go with them to the emergency department who usually fill in the blanks. And it's there that physicians often diagnose problems that have been ignored for years: diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol.
"There may be some fear or anxiety about seeking a physician's evaluation because they are fearful of finding out that there's a serious problem," said Dr. James Donovan, chief of the urology division at Cincinnati. "But they don't want to show any fear, of course."
To change this mindset, physicians suggest better education about preventive care and health screenings directed at both men and women.
Doctors say that men become good patients after they experience serious health problems such as heart attacks, kidney stones or prostate problems.
Or, "if they have a good buddy that suddenly gets sick, that will bring them in," said Dr. Douglas Finnie, medical director of Mount Carmel HealthProviders, a physicians group.
"It's not unusual to have a good friend drop dead of a heart attack and that prompts them to come in."

Local Democratic incumbents for state offices and the U.S. House easily cleared challenges from their Republican opponents Tuesday.
Even in the hotly contested race for the 43rd Assembly District, incumbent Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake) never lost a comfortable lead over Republican challenger Greg Krikorian, a Glendale school board member, as the election returns -- hampered by fog and air transit delays -- trickled in well past midnight.
With all precincts reporting, Gatto won the district with 60.5% of the electorate, or 72,797 votes to Kirkorian's 47,615, according to the California Secretary of State.
As the returns rolled in Tuesday night, Gatto said he was pleased with the numbers, even if they were preliminary.
"I'm encouraged by the results, so far, and I'm deeply grateful for all the voters who supported me, and I continue to be honored and humbled by their trust in me," he said.
In the 25th District for state Senate, Sen. Carol Liu (D-La Cañada Flintridge) also won by a wide margin -- 161,649 votes to the 106,344 garnered by her Republican challenger Gilbert Gonzales -- according to the California Secretary of State.
Gonzales, a former aide to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa who now handles government affairs for Vons and Safeway, had opposed Propositions 30 and 38, competing tax measures to address the state's multibillion-dollar deficit and fund education.
Liu, who has long positioned herself squarely in the education and social services camp in a heavily blue district, was behind Prop. 30 and had been sounding the alarm to constituents on impending spending cuts -- an issue many voters in exit poll interviews said was important.
Liu said she would carry on with her focus on "education, environment and infrastructure" while also working for state fiscal reform.
"We need to get a hold of this budget situation and get it right," she said.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) maintained a commanding lead over his GOP challenger, Phil Jennerjahn, ending with 140,381 votes -- a 76% share -- to Jennerjahn's 44,433.
The two men provided voters with perhaps the clearest choice in terms of political differences on everything from Social Security to abortion. Jennerjahn's far right positions clearly did not resonate in a district where Democratic Party registration far outpaces that of Republicans, 47.2% to 23%.
In a statement released as the outcome of the race became all but certain, Schiff said he looked froward to growing the small-business sector, investment in infrastructure and domestic manufacturing. He also called for strengthened bipartisan relationships.
"Every election is a chance to hit the reset button, and members of both parties would do well to set aside the acrimonies of the campaign trail and the past to find common-sense solutions to our problems," Schiff said. "With all we have to accomplish legislatively in the next several weeks, and many important decisions to be made for the benefit of our country, this is more important than ever."
But it was the Assembly race that saw the heaviest political combat, with each campaign accusing the other of mudslinging and misleading voters.
The tone of the campaign clearly affected voters, who on Tuesday repeatedly referred to the raucous campaign tactics in expressing their disdain for a process in which, for some, it was a matter of picking the lesser of two evils.
Kirkorian's strategy emphasized his small-business and public education credentials, but it had to overcome Gatto's incumbent power of attracting outside money and support built into a heavily Democratic district — despite angering local officials earlier this year by supporting Gov. Jerry Brown's successful mission to dissolve municipal redevelopment agencies statewide.
But Gatto also had name recognition, having already fought several times to keep his seat after winning two special elections and a primary over a span of several months in 2010.

How a "Painless" Amount Can Change the World
Depending on which country you live in, if you bought an airline ticket lately you may have saved a life without even knowing it. A number of countries have implemented a small airfare tax (also referred to as the "solidarity tax") to raise funds to fight three of the world's deadliest diseases: HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis. In France, for example, air travelers pay an additional €1 in tax on domestic tickets and if in business class, €10. With aid falling, innovative finance mechanisms, such as microdonations, will be crucial in solving serious global problems. As quoted in a recent article in the Financial Times, Philippe Douste-Blazy, the man behind the airfare tax (also the former French Minister of Foreign Affairs), says that "certain sectors have benefited enormously from globalization: financial transactions, tourism and mobile phones. We need to tax an economic activity that's only done by the rich, and tax it so lightly that nobody will notice." He says the additional tax travelers pay is "absolutely painless!"

Fox Camera Person Maybe Still Learning the Ropes
Considering that Grand Rapids, Michigan is one of America's hotspots for slick production values, we're somewhat surprised by the poor panning work displayed in this Fox 17 Morning News excerpt. Hey Camera Person, you're supposed to train the camera on the lady who's talking about the gas lines or whatever, not the two anchors who are just sitting there in silence, clutching their mugs full of
vodka Nescafe. For our amusement, anchorman Mike Avery responds to the mishap by making a bunch of exaggerated facial expressions that are not only fun to imitate but possibly indicative of a past career in silent movie acting.

Do vegetables loose nutritional value when cooked in a microwave oven?
Cooking vegetables in the microwave is an excellent way to maintain nutrients if done properly. Vegetables lose nutrients (as well as texture and flavor) when they are over-boiled in too much water. Microwave cooking of vegetables requires very small amounts or no water, and cooking time is quick. Thus, nutrients are retained. Vegetables cooked until they are 'crisp-tender' have more nutrients and better flavor and texture. When cooking vegetables in the microwave, cut vegetables into same-size pieces and arrange in a microwave-safe dish. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water. Greens, such as spinach or collard greens, need only the water that is on washed, wet leaves. Cover the dish loosely with plastic or waxed paper. Microwave on HIGH, stirring or rearranging halfway through cooking. For specific preparation tips and cooking times of different vegetables, refer to your favorite cookbook. Frozen veggies have cooking times on the packaging and many of them are packaged so that all you have to do is put the package in the microwave for the designated itme – so fast, easy, and very nutritious!

The Process that ITIL Forgot: Security Incident Response
For decades, the goal of Incident Response in IT has been increased user productivity. Get them back up and running as fast as possible. But, truthfully, Incident Management is usually more of a band-aid than a cure. We know how to eliminate existing incidents using root cause analysis & Kaizen.
We know how to reduce incidents up front by improving the quality of changes. But what IT still struggles with is cyber or security-related incidents. Most service desks function as the frontline reporting structure for ALL types of incidents, but without a specific process for handling security issues.

Service Desk Challenges in Moving to 24/7 Operation
Apr 11 2019
50 mins
Graham Herbert, Head of Professional Services, Pink Elephant SA
Enterprises traditionally offered services in a daylight cycle that allowed their internal IT to follow a similar supportive operational alignment. IT has used the Service Desk as a Single Point of Contact to act as the IT interface to Business and its customers, with a linked business hours offering.
Customer demands of the business have changed with many enterprises extending services and product support to an "always available" offering that moves the Service Desk from a weekday 6-till-6 to 24/7. This extension of the Service Desk operational hours has many challenges to be dealt with and decisions requiring answers.
Join Graham Herbert from Pink Elephant as he walks us through how to gear up to this challenge and look at what decision points will have to be dealt with in order to move to 24/7 Service Desk support.

Successful CMDB Implementation for 2019
Apr 3 2019
48 mins
Peter Hubbard, Principal Consultant at Pink Elephant and Paul Yates Senior Technical Consultant at FireScope
CMDB Implementation is one of the most complicated of any ITSM programmes an organisation can undertake. The difficulties in creating a toolset, capable of linking hundreds of thousands of interconnected bits of data together in a meaningful manner while also supporting a highly fluid environment with dozens of changes each week, are formidable indeed and that does not even count the ongoing workload of keeping the records up to date once the toolset has been created.
Find out how FireScope approaches this problem with their Secure Discovery and Dependency Mapping tool, allowing you to have your CMDB always up to date and requires no up-keep
Join Peter Hubbard, Principal ITSM Consultant at Pink Elephant EMEA and Paul Yates, Senior Technical Consultant at FireScope, as they discuss creating a CMDB in the real world in 2019.

Never waste a good disaster – Anatomy of a major incident
Jan 25 2019
52 mins
Peter Hubbard, Principal Consultant at Pink Elephant EMEA
In IT there are only 3 times that the business will notice us.
When its new, when the bill comes due and when it's broken! As statistically speaking its most likely to break when its new there is a good chance that most of your high-pressure interactions with the business will be when something is broken!
The way in which an IT department handles its response to a major incident is critical and poor communication, slow response and lack of updates are all major issues that cause friction between IT and the business at these critical times.
Join Peter Hubbard from Pink Elephant as he walks us through how to create a Major Incident process, the dos and don'ts of how to manage them and uses a case study of a real-world major incident response to illustrate the learning that can happen.
After all, no organisation should waste a good disaster!

From Brick & Mortar To Virtual ITSM
Apr 12 2018
50 mins
Dave Whyte, Operations Engineering Lead at Auto Trader UK
In 2007, the IT department of AutoTrader was at the lowest of the low, untrusted and not seen as a true partner to the business. As the organisation transitioned from a brick and mortar printing organisation to an online digital organisation, they needed their IT department to step up and deliver more reliable and better-aligned IT services, while the rate of change would double and then double again. During this session, Dave will translate theory into practice and show how the IT department moved from a traditional ITSM implementation based on traditional ITIL to one that blends DevOps, Lean IT and ITIL together. He will discuss the bumps encountered along the way and how they were overcome. The IT department is now seen as a trusted business partner and has been invited to assist in major business improvement initiatives as the organisation hopes to replicate their internal successes for the business as a whole.
Join Dave as he discusses:
- The importance of a solid foundation and how ITIL gave them that foundation to accelerate improvement
- How to handle Change and Release Management in a DevOps environment
- Why shared monitoring with Operational and Development teams is critical to the success of DevOps
- How they have embedded ITSM within the culture of the organisation itself

Nick Wilding - Manager, Cyber Resilience, AXELOS. Stuart Rance - Managing Director, Optimal Service Management
Our globally connected world delivers a wealth of opportunities for economic growth and innovation but it also brings with it the real risk of cyber-attack. Many organizations continue to invest in multiple layers of 'intelligent' technical controls to protect themselves from cyber attackers. However, security breaches continue to grow in their scale and impact. There's something missing in our organisational response to the cyber risks we face.
Effective cyber resilience need to focus on aligning strategic priorities, service management tools, operational systems and architectures with ongoing training and involvement of people across the organization. By applying these proven disciplines organizations can more effectively balance their business opportunities and risks, their people, processes and technology and their ability to prevent, detect and respond to cyber-attacks.
This webinar will outline the cyber resilience challenges and the opportunities open to organizations and how RESILIA™ best practice can be used to build the critical collaboration between ITSM and InfoSec teams needed to effectively manage and respond to the cyber risks they face.
Nick Wilding:

OAKLAND — Here's the good news about the Lakers:
They'll never take nights off. They boast the versatility, work ethic and teamwork on a roster that represents a sum greater than its parts. They even can feature a role player ascending toward a career night.
Here's the bad news about the Lakers:
They're not talented enough to do that on a consistent basis.
Hence, why it should hardly surprise many that the Lakers' 102-83 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday at Oracle Arena contrasted to when the Lakers unseated Minnesota the night before despite missing three point guards and Kobe Bryant?
Pau Gasol couldn't even leave his hotel room because of a respiratory issue, an illness that plagued him earlier this season but not enough to keep him out of the starting lineup for the first 26 games. That forced the Lakers (13-14) to field their 12th different starting lineup featuring seldom-used Chris Kaman and a player named Xavier Henry whose recent stretch at point guard marked the first time he manned the position since playing AAU basketball.
"We ran out of gas," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We tried to battle. But we ran out of energy. We're not going to be smooth. There's no way. We have 15 point guards out."
The Lakers actually have four, but the point well taken. Kobe Bryant (fractured left leg), Steve Nash (nerve issues in back), Steve Blake (hyperextended right elbow) and Jordan Farmar (strained left hamstring) all remained sidelined. Add in Gasol's absence, and the Lakers lost a combined 45.39 points those players collectively average. In related news: Lakers shot 26 of 80 from the field (32.5 percent).
"Those players definitely make it easier for the other players," said Kaman, whose 17 rebounds was offset with 10 points on a 5-of-17 clip. "But our offense works consistently with guys who aren't playmakers if we move the ball. We didn't move the ball very well. When we did, guys had a lot of open looks and they just didn't make them."
Other than Jordan Hill posting 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting on surprisingly effective mid-range jumpers, no other Laker shot above 50 percent. The most egregious offenders included Nick Young (20 points on 5-of-18 shooting), Jodie Meeks (13 points on 4-of-11 shooting) and Wesley Johnson (0-of-7 shooting). It added up to the Lakers setting a season-low in points, shattering their record when they posted only 85 points Nov. 8 against New Orleans.
The Lakers' 24 turnovers also matched a season high, and mostly reflected their lacking point guard depth. Kendall Marshall's three points on one shot attempt and four turnovers in five minutes hardly offered much promise in his first game since joining the Lakers two days ago. The ball handling didn't fare much better for Young (four turnovers), Meeks (four) and Henry (three).
"We made some careless passes, myself included," Meeks said. "Guys got to get used to running the point guard spot, including myself, Xavier, and Kendall."
All those elements snapped the Lakers' two-game winning streak and halted the temporary elation they could tread above water without their star players.
After holding the Warriors (15-13) to 34-percent shooting in the first half, Golden State broke open with a 22-point lead they never relinquished. Golden State also poured it on when forward Marreese Speights picked up a flagrant foul type 2 and an automatic ejection after wrapping his hands around Young as he drove to the basket with 9:29 left in the fourth quarter. By that point the Lakers trailed 83-65.
"I knew if I got ejected, we'd head to Phoenix (on Monday) with just another person out," Young said. "I had to think about a lot in a quick moment, but I still kept cool. I'm glad my teammates came to help me."
As the Lakers have shown all season, their fortunes can change. But they'll have to do so knowing they have a depleted cast once again.

See How They Run by Philip King. Directed by Jeff Steitzer.
Reviewed by J. Peter Bergman
"One man's pajamas is another man's night-shirt."
Farce depends on perfect timing, five doors and a cast of perfectly normal people who can become extraordinary to us and to one another, extraordinary and unbelievably funny. On the Boyd-Quinson Mainstage at Barrington Stage Company's Union Street Theatre in Pittsfield, one of the classic British farces is being given a perfectly timed performance. Each and every actor has a perfect entrance and/or exit every so often and on a set that seems solid enough to actually inhabit the timing of doors opening and closing is superbly coordinated. Each actor is so well trained for this show that nothing comes across as wrongly conceived, wrongly staged or wrongly written. Instead the naturalness of the piece allows the comedy to shine through no matter how outrageous, bizarre or foolish the moment may seem when you analyze it.
Luckily, in good farce, there is no time for analysis even when a character in front of you is trying to do just that. This 1943 treasure puts forth its bounties and asks us to leave analysis for more serious works. It does this in such a straightforward way that we can even accept the most unreasonable reasons. And - this is a wonderful thing to say - the comedy is not merely physical but is also deliciously quotable in a storyline that makes the absurd seem plausible.
The Reverend Toop's wife, a former actress, is found by her former leading man, now a soldier and the two go off to see a production of Noel Coward's play "Private Lives" which leaves the Toop's home, the vicarage, open for all sorts of visitors and intruders. Toop himself is out leading a choral group on a prison visit one town away. When he leaves the prison so does a German prisoner of war. The wife's uncle, a Bishop, is coming for a visit and so is another clergyman who is taking Toop's spot on the following morning's church service. A faithful parishioner, upset that Toop's wife has replaced her in his affections and in her alter-guild duties, shows up and the Maid would just like a nice night off and a date. When everyone shows up at the vicarage at the same time, that is Farce.
Coward's comedy from 1930 figures more openly in the plot than just the mention of its name. One of its funniest lines (don't quote this out of context, though) is "Don't quibble, Sybil!" In this play it is tortured into the equally hilarious "Don't bicker, Vicar!" Both lines really do bring the house down when you hear them in their proper venue. The play also quotes one of the most famous scenes in all British theater, one that was hit hard by the censors and only allowed on stage after Coward and his co-star Gertrude Lawrence auditioned the whole thing in the censor's office. It is, here, the funniest moment in the first act (or first scene in this version).
Penelope Toop, the wife in question, is played with grace, vigor and a very "English" manner by Lisa McCormick who uses the word "chuffed" correctly in this program bio (you'll have to look it up, but it works). She is blonde and beautiful, plays with enthusiasm and force but can still be charming and feminine and extraordinarily vague when handed every visual clue in the book about the goings on in her house. As her uncle, the Bishop of Lax, Keith Jochim turns in a fine characterization of the British Blunderer who cannot believe that bad things happen to good people. He is almost unintentionally funny with lines that should only make an actor blush. He has that sort of delivery.
Jeff Brooks is hilarious as the visiting minister Arthur Humphrey. His entrance is turned into a veritable twirl of delight and his reaction to becoming the center of attention is endearingly physical. Andy Nogasky makes his Sergeant Towers into a tower of over-trained strengths.
The trio of humor, the threesome of laughter, the best of the best are Dina Thomas as Ida, the maid, Michele Tauber as the outraged Miss Skillon and Michael Brusasco as Lance-Corporal Clive Winton. If this show only needed three superb farceurs these would be the ones everybody would pick.
Dina Thomas starts out struggling with a huge tea-tray and ends up lugging around the bodies, miming the big hints, braying the love scenes and saving the day in her own peculiar way. Her accent is thick and hard to make out at times, but absolutely right for an occupant of the town of Merton-cum-Middlewick. When she babbles to herself she is as funny as at any other time. When she flirts she does so with a commoner's placement. When she serves her employers she serves with every ounce of energy imaginable. Thomas' stamina is worthy of an award and she never deserts her smile which is overwhelming.
Michele Tauber could play this role for the rest of her life. Her transition from stuffy, angry member of the community whose outrage is equaled by her bulk to offended, hidden, drunken slut is about a funny as anything could possibly be in this world. Tauber has an almost magical way with her role, constantly converting herself from one sort of person to another and doing so without any awkward pauses, without any unbelievable instances. This is a highly dangerous role made totally believable by an actress whose talent is clearly noted.
Finally, Michael Brusasco presents a picture of the British dilemma: knowing how to behave and just not achieving it. He plays an actor, traditionally not the brightest profession, and he plays it to a tee. When confronted about his behavior by the Bishop he manages the line "It can't amount to tantamount to slaughter" with clarity, lightness and a curious appropriateness. Handsome, but with a funny, malleable face, Brusasco is the evening's champion.
Everyone here has had superb guidance from the director, Jeff Steitzer, who clearly gets the necessity for reality in a farce. He never lets his actors stretch too far from believability. As the characters understand the farce they're in to be a real situation so do the actors under his direction. Without that this play would be an oddity, something to ignore, but Steitzer and his cast have come to a fine meeting of the minds and bodies here and the result is a classically funny evening that the Marx Brothers would have enjoyed.
As for the production, it is perfect. Bill Clarke has given the perfect set. Sara Jean Tosetti has created the ideal costumes. Philip S. Rosenberg's lighting provides the right ambiance for each moment. Ryan Winkles has choreographed the fighting moments to their utmost. Jessica Paz knows how to use sound to the play's advantage and Steitzer has allowed her to do so.
I am always reluctant to recommend a farce because it just isn't everyone's thing. This time I recommend it to everyone. This is just that good!

Back in the Spring, when the goats came home, Lyle was in the beginning stages of enclosing the overhang that had sheltered the horses, and was turning it into separate goat and chicken quarters.
He finished a few months ago, reusing some old windows. He added the mullions to match the windows on the front of the barn. The goats have their own little home on the right, which Lyle is bravely cleaning in the photo. The left side and the whole upper portion is all for the chickens. (Can you spot Franklin, checking things out?)
The chickens can come and go as they please. Even on rainy days, they prefer to stay outside, huddled under the hen house.
Lyle and my dad devised this watering system with tubing and PVC.
I wish I had a better photo of it, but the blue that you see on the left is an adorable bird house that Lyle made which sits over a large water bucket. From the bucket, you can see the tube which goes down to the chicken run.
Inside, there are 4 nesting boxes which you can access from the outside hatch or by walking into the coop through one of two doors.
We have three chicken breeds in our flock. There are two Australorps--Ginger and Gabby. In the light, their black feathers take on a pretty emerald tinge.
Our three Silverlaced Wyandottes, posing here for a group photo, look like they're wearing fancy ball gowns. They are Annie, Mr. Beefy, and Chicken (XiXi's English wasn't so great 5 months ago when we asked him what he wanted to name his chicken. "Ummm," he said, "Chicken!")
And last but not least are our two Buff Orpingtons--Clarkson (our only layer) and Cholita's hen Mrs. Howell.
True, they can be a bit stinky, but being that these are our only pets willing to provide us with breakfast, I think they're keepers.
It won't be long before we have 49 eggs a week.
Omelette anyone?
over-easy or scrambled?
cholesterol-lowering medication?

Arnold M. Cooper, M.D., who practiced psychiatry and psychoanalysis for almost six decades and was internationally acknowledged as an educator and writer in the field, died of lung cancer at Southampton Hospital on June 9 at the age of 88. A memorial service was held at the Riverside Chapel in Manhattan on June 17.
A longtime resident of Water Mill as well as Manhattan, Dr. Cooper had an open and welcoming personality that gathered in those around him whether they were the psychoanalysts, academics, and students who filled his professional life, or the musicians, artists, and writers who were his friends. Everyone called him Arnie.
Dr. Cooper advanced the understanding of psychoanalysis as a science. In accepting a Sigourney Trust Award in 2009, Dr. Cooper described what he called his "political writings" as an attempt to push psychoanalysis toward "robust research and a scholarly base." He was known for studying and writing about the narcissistic-masochistic character.
A selection of his more than 150 papers was published in 2005 as "The Quiet Revolution in American Psychoanalysis." He also was the co-author, with Ethel Person, of a clinical guide and reference book on psychoanalysis that is considered an essential text.
Over his long career, he was vice president of the International Psychoanalytic Association and president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, which he dedicated, in the words of a colleague, "to scientific discussion rather than policing thought." He was an English professor at Columbia College, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and a member of the faculty of the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, where he received early training and later instituted many programs.
At Columbia, hundreds of undergraduates signed up for his yearlong course on Freud and post-Freudian analysis, a prerequisite for pioneering courses linking psychoanalysis and literature, sociology, or art history, among other disciplines. He was said to be a brilliant classroom teacher, at every academic level, and he served as a visiting professor or consultant to many universities and institutes. In 1974, he became a professor and associate chairman for education of the New York Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Born in Brooklyn on March 9, 1930, Arnold Michael Cooper grew up in Roselle, N.J., the second of Morris and Clara Aronow Cooper's four boys. There was scant intellectual life at home, and he concentrated on the clarinet in high school, sometimes practicing for four or five hours at a time. As an adult, he played with the Westside Winds and several other chamber groups in New York and practiced every day until the last year of his life.
Music introduced him to Katherine Addleman, a concert pianist, and they were married in 2000. Ms. Addleman said he was a very disciplined man, who also exercised every day. She noted that until the last three months of his life he saw patients four days a week and went on "grand rounds."
After high school, Dr. Cooper followed one of his brothers to Columbia College on a partial music scholarship. As a junior, however, a classmate introduced him to the work of Freud. Recalling this introduction to psychiatry, Dr. Cooper said, "I was fascinated. I never intended to go to medical school until I was told that was what you had to do to be a psychoanalyst." He gave up ideas of becoming a professional musician, an English teacher, or a lawyer, and attended the School of Medicine at the University of Utah, which, he noted later, did not have one course in psychiatry.
He focused instead on physiology and continued his education as a research fellow at Harvard, studying the liver. Internship at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital followed, and, in 1950, he began a psychiatric residency at Bellevue Hospital in New York. Three years of subsequent training at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research then started his long association with that institution.
Dr. Cooper came to the South Fork after his first marriage ended, renting first in Amagansett and later in Water Mill, a house he eventually bought. His annual lawn parties there were a can't-be-missed summer event for his many friends.
In addition to his wife, three children survive. They are Andrew Cooper of Austin, Tex., Melissa Cooper Hamburger of New York, and Tom Van Cooper of Burlington, Vt. A grandson and two granddaughters survive, as well.
In her introduction to "The Quiet Revolution in American Psychoanalysis," Elizabeth L. Auchincloss, a noted professor and training psychoanalyst who had been one of Dr. Cooper's students, said, "Cooper's unique ability to observe and reflect upon the process of change . . . has helped make him the guide to whom psychoanalysts repeatedly turn to understand not only where, but even what, psychoanalysis is."
His family has suggested donations to the Peconic Land Trust, P.O. Box 1776, Southampton 11969.

A recent New York Times article alleges that cardiologists from UMC of Southern Nevada took money from Biotronik to use the company's medical devices. According to the paper, 95 percent of last year's implants at UMC were Biotronik devices. In contrast, Biotronik has an estimated 5 percent share of the US market for pacemakers and implantable defibrillators.
Earlier this year, St. Jude Medical agreed to pay $16 million to settle allegations that the company paid kickbacks to doctors who implanted its heart devices in patients.

This section discusses client runtimeflow control behaviors that affect performance. These behaviors are configured as attributes of connection factory administered objects. For information on setting connection factory attributes, see Chapter 11, Managing Administered Objects
Messages sent and received by clients (payload messages), as well as Message Queue control messages, pass over the same client-broker connection. Delays in the delivery of control messages, such as broker acknowledgments, can result if control messages are held up by the delivery of payload messages. To prevent this type of congestion, Message Queue meters the flow of payload messages across a connection.
Payload messages are batched (as specified with the connection factory attribute imqConnectionFlowCount) so that only a set number are delivered. After the batch has been delivered, delivery of payload messages is suspended and only pending control messages are delivered. This cycle repeats, as additional batches of payload messages are delivered followed by pending control messages.
The value of imqConnectionFlowCount should be kept low if the client is doing operations that require many responses from the broker: for example, if the client is using CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE or AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE mode, persistent messages, transactions, or queue browsers, or is adding or removing consumers. If, on the other hand, the client has only simple consumers on a connection using DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE mode, you can increase imqConnectionFlowCount without compromising performance.
There is a limit to the number of payload messages that the Message Queue client runtime can handle before encountering local resource limitations, such as memory. When this limit is approached, performance suffers. Hence, Message Queue lets you limit the number of messages per consumer (or messages per connection) that can be delivered over a connection and buffered in the client runtime, waiting to be consumed.
When the number of payload messages delivered to the client runtime exceeds the value of imqConsumerFlowLimit for any consumer, message delivery for that consumer stops. It is resumed only when the number of unconsumed messages for that consumer drops below the value set with imqConsumerFlowThreshold.
The following example illustrates the use of these limits: consider the default settings for topic consumers:
imqConsumerFlowLimit=1000 imqConsumerFlowThreshold=50
When the consumer is created, the broker delivers an initial batch of 1000 messages (providing they exist) to this consumer without pausing. After sending 1000 messages, the broker stops delivery until the client runtime asks for more messages. The client runtime holds these messages until the application processes them. The client runtime then allows the application to consume at least 50% (imqConsumerFlowThreshold ) of the message buffer capacity (i.e. 500 messages) before asking the broker to send the next batch.
In the same situation, if the threshold were 10%, the client runtime would wait for the application to consume at least 900 messages before asking for the next batch.
The next batch size is calculated as follows:
imqConsumerFlowLimit - (current number of pending msgs in buffer)
So if imqConsumerFlowThreshold is 50%, the next batch size can fluctuate between 500 and 1000, depending on how fast the application can process the messages.
If the imqConsumerFlowThreshold is set too high (close to 100%), the broker will tend to send smaller batches, which can lower message throughput. If the value is set too low (close to 0%), the client may be able to finish processing the remaining buffered messages before the broker delivers the next set, again degrading message throughput. Generally speaking, unless you have specific performance or reliability concerns, you will not need to change the default value of imqConsumerFlowThreshold attribute.
The consumer-based flow controls (in particular, imqConsumerFlowLimit ) are the best way to manage memory in the client runtime. Generally, depending on the client application, you know the number of consumers you need to support on any connection, the size of the messages, and the total amount of memory that is available to the client runtime.
In the case of some client applications, however, the number of consumers may be indeterminate, depending on choices made by end users. In those cases, you can still manage memory using connection-level flow limits.
Connection-level flow controls limit the total number of messages buffered for all consumers on a connection. If this number exceeds the value of imqConnectionFlowLimit, delivery of messages through the connection stops until that total drops below the connection limit. (The imqConnectionFlowLimit attribute is enabled only if you set imqConnectionFlowLimitEnabled to true.)
The number of messages queued up in a session is a function of the number of message consumers using the session and the message load for each consumer. If a client is exhibiting delays in producing or consuming messages, you can normally improve performance by redesigning the application to distribute message producers and consumers among a larger number of sessions or to distribute sessions among a larger number of connections.
