    Shift Summary:
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    RHIC achieved beam after 45 hours down at 12:17.  We ran
    for approximately 1 hour when there was B/Y Quench Link
    Interlock.  After that they had numerous problems that
    prevented the delivery of more beam.
    
    Two runs during this time.  
    run   trig 1   trig 6
    5460   39786    38720    taken after collisions; before fully steered
    5461   93845    91203    after they announced fully steered
    
    There must have been some problem with beam anyway because
    although the B/Y ions were approximately 24e9 as usual
    nowadays, the ZDC rate was never more than 250 even after
    steering.  They realized the discrepancy and were
    investigating, but did not understand it.
    
    Problems for computer experts:
    pii7 has gotten sick.  The symptom was manifested by
    not being able to run xemacs.  Then each terminal would
    hang when trying to do top or ps ax.  I therefore 
    rebooted it (gracefully) and
    when came up, it gave an error saying it could not bind
    to NIS Domain.  I now cannot log on at the console, but
    I can through ssh from another machine.  But the home
    directory is not there.
    Like I said; A problem for the computer experts
