    Shift Summary:
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    1.Machine status
      The good store started at 21:45 continued until 1:30
      The beam was dumped without warning. Around 2:40, there
      was a new injection and ramping. MCR could store it.
      But the ZDC coincidence rate / ZDC single was about 1/50
      with a low intensity (started around 150Hz and decreased
      around 50). All experiments had this low ZDC rate.
      I didn't take any data from this store because of the
      background. MCR called to tell they had a problem with 
      blue beam life time. A problem occured in the AGS main 
      magnet cooling. They needed 1 hour to fix all that.
    
      A 4:51, new injection and ramping. The beam survived
      at reasonable intensities (B28, Y20) with a ZDC coincidence
      rate ~ 920 Hz (ratio with ZDC single ~ 1/15).
      MCR called to tell they wanted to rebucket the beam. 
      Beam survived after rebucketing. They finally dumped the 
      beam at 5:50 for beam studies that will continue until
      18:00 today.
    
    2.Achievements:
      Runs    Trig6     Spectrometer Setting
      5593    70k     FS 8deg 1/5 A, MRS 45deg 4B
      5594    89k     same setting
    
      New setting: FS @ 12deg, 1/4 A, MRS @ 45deg 4A
    
      TPC pedestal run 5596, DVM 5597
    
      Note: I wanted to set 1/8 field in FS but couldn't find
      the current values. Did not think that I should just
      divide the 1/4 setting by 2, so skipped the 1/8 setting
      for the 1/4 program.
    
    3.No detector problems this night!
      TOFW TDC top 92 still absent. T5 mod II off.
