 * processed as set of OT guided exposures for Peter & Craig to measure standard deviation in 32x32 pixels cells across the exposures.  Maps of this value show the impact of the OT guiding on the data.  Quick summary: for most chips, the noise levels are largely consistent with the unguided noise levels.  For 5 chips, more than 50% of the devices have substantially elevated noise: from an expected stdev of 14 from read noise and sky noise to values of 50 - 150 electrons of noise.  For a few more chips, the impact is smaller (noise levels elevated by 10-20 DN) or come from only a small fraction of the chips.
 * more work on support for modern versions of linux.  The full system now builds on both our cluster (with linux packages vintage 2005 - 2008) and my desktop machines (Ubuntu 12.04).  Most changes were caused by changes in the languages: gcc has more pedantic warnings, and since we use -Werror, we must address those warnings, and Perl has changed the result of a test ('ref') to include results not previously supplied ('Regexp').  There is also an issue with the linking options for gcc which I believe is actually a bug (symbols not found in libraries regardless of the link order).
 * Telecon with Scott Michael of Indiana University re: Data Capacitor.  We are now getting at least 3Gb/sec to their cluster, and we should be able to start putting data onto their system.  We can put large amounts (~1PB or more) onto their tape-based archive for long term (~infinite), but we need to be a bit careful about how this is seen by our system.  We can also buffer a smaller amount (10s of TB) for shorter periods (2-4 months) on spinning disk with high availability.

 * Fixed replication of scidbm/ippdb01 to scidbs1/ippdb03 (and ippc17 for isp)
 * Fixed replication of scidbm/ippdb01 to scidbs2/ipp001(2)
 * Helped Denver accessing the different slaves according to mops needs
 * ippMonitor: Restricted a few queries (diffSummary_Images and camProcessedExp_Images). 
 * ippMonitor: Restriction is now used after the count (modified generate script). The count can however be still restricted if the RESTRICTED_COUNT keyword is used (see example in def/rawBurntoolState.d) so that we can restrict even on count when it takes too much time querying.
 * In ~ipp/src/ippMonitor/supervision: Created (and tested) the script named check_if_mysql_slave_is_running_fine.py. It sends an e-mail to ps-ipp-ops if the mysql replication is broken or late by more than 10000 seconds. It's running on all hosts running a mysql server replicating databases namely: ippdb02, ippdb03, ippc17, ippc19, and ipp001.

=== Heather Flewelling === 

 * at AAS

=== Mark Huber ===
 * Czar Tuesday and Wednesday, subbed in Thursday morning.
 * Generally working through and tracking down system/processing issues with little exposure to before -- missing chips from astrometry failures, MOPS PSS setup requests and nightly science processing, summitcopy faults.

 * Vacation

=== Chris Waters ===

 * Anchorage for AAS.
