Extreme Programming Challenge Thirteen Point Five
dealt with Refactoring RDBs. All well and good. But how do you go about
s for them? There seem to be three equally obnoxious alternatives:
In a
, set up up test data and tear it back down again afterwards. But we're talking about some pretty hairy tests here - this is far from quick to do and not usually reusable.
Set up your test data inside a transaction, and always
to roll it back. Okay, but I want to see the effects in a database ... and anyway this isn't realistic because what we're testing is broken across DLL and process boundaries. We have multiple processes and DLLs that operate on the DB to achieve the required effect.
Initialize a special database just for this test and do away with it afterwards. This is a huge hassle to maintain, and also we'd have to either use a different database name which would be ugly or we'd need a special server for it. Not good.
Other factors: RDBs are by definition stateful. Different tests require different states (combinations of entries/nulls in various tables). But Beck&Gamma's unit testing philosophy suggests the tests should not depend on one another, and for good reason... what to do?
For new chums, in XP we can't refactor with confidence unless we have a bunch of regression tests, therefore XPChallenge13 requires this here challenge to be solved ... so, what's the best way?
These are just my general opinions for comment, feel free to change them...
My feeling is that you need to do your first suggestion of setting up a database before the test and tearing it down afterwards. If the database is complex enough that this becomes a significant amount of work, that just means that it is more important to test it fully.
Although tests shouldn't depend on each other, that doesn't prevent you from factoring out the common code between tests into common functions and using them, does it? I suppose if this gets complex enough you'll end up having to write unit tests for your unit tests.
Your setup code could just set up the actual database tables and any records that are always needed. Individual tests would need to populate the database with relevant data for each test and remove it afterwards.
All my testing of databases in the past has been interactive. We've written a program with menu options to exercise the functions of the database manually and checked the database afterwards ourselves. Not ideal, but as you say it's hard to automate and it's better than nothing.
-- JohnBurton
Whenever you are faced with a big problem like this in
ing you have to orthogonalize - break the problem down into its constituent dimensions each of which can be tested separately. In this case, a trick I have used several times is to make an
for the database. A unit test sets up its own database and runs against that. You have to have tests that demonstrate that you can substitute the real database for the in-memory database.
The challenge this poses is that you have to concentrate the database behavior in one object so replacing it is easy. But this is a good practice anyhow - LazyTestingIsGoodDesign
You're saying that you don't need to test using the real database as long as your database access classes have the correct interface to plug into? This is because you are testing the database access classes, not the database itself? -- John Burton
No, I'm saying that you test them orthogonally.
I have some tests that make sure that the lowest layer of database access works as planned. That has to really use a database, but (I hope) it is a small suite because we don't have a million ways of interacting with the database (if we do have a million ways, we fix the design so we no longer have a million ways).
Then I write a suite based on the assumptions demonstrated by the first suite. It assumes that I can get things into and out of the real database, so I don't have to have the real database there. That way, I can create an in-memory impostor for the database and exercise the higher-level objects.
The latter suite runs very quickly and is very stable. The former suite is relatively slow and it breaks all the time (because servers move around, the schema changes, etc.)
This would work much better with an example, wouldn't it?
Kent's suggestion sounds fine for OODBs, but still doesn't cut it for RDBs. At least I'm not writing an
. But here's my best thoughts today. Option 3 in the preamble here is actually the right way to go. The reason initializing a special database sounds like a lot of work is you don't have a starting point. So, create two databases:
one database containing a typical starting schema
one database that's the actual fixture
Create a stored procedure or similar to copy from your starting schema into the fixture. If you're willing to wear the cost, you can use the same starting schema with many different fixture DBs. You pretty much need to do this to keep your tests independent. Your setup code then looks like
copy from starting schema into fixture db
make whatever changes you need in order to specialize the starting schema for this test
There is no teardown per se. You have to get your DBAs to buy in before you can do this, of course, but then again they should be able to get good use from your testing framework too if you do this right, and at no cost to them - you're writing the tests, not them. So if you sell it right this shouldn't be too hard.
Running this, on the other hand, isn't going to be quick. C3's figure of 13,000 tests per hour is several orders of magnitude away from how fast this will run. You'll probably have to work this part of your test suite as a
Sometimes you just have to solve these bloody XP challenges yourself.
Actually this sounds very much like what we did to do acceptance and unit testing with our OODB. The problem we had to solve was different of course. We had the problem of changing source code in the database. The problem here is one of structure and normalization. However, our problem also included object structure and test data so the solution turns out to be similar.
is how we did it.
In summary the key points are having gold, silver and bronze databases. The gold is the one that resembles the production database. Silvers are refactored data bases based on the gold standard with a well known migration path. Each developer has a bronze standard that they are personally responsible for. A bronze database becomes silver when the developer's code is released. A silver database becomes gold when the production database is migrated. It is important that everyone can easily get a copy of the gold or silver data base to use as bronze at any moment and that we keep track of migration paths.
At any moment in time, the gold database and the production release match up for production support.
At any moment in time, the silver data base and the most current development release match up so that I can load both of these up and have the latest version ready to run the unit tests at 100%. I can then add my changes and migrate my own bronze database as needed.
For testing we had code to create a gold database. We refactored and extended this code as our data became more complex or changed structure. We found it useful to create a new gold and migrate it to silver once a week to avoid inevitable data corruption and to assure ourselves that our migration path was correct.
We did have an occasional problem with migration though. We didn't do as good a job of keeping track of changes as we should have. What we ended up doing near the end was create a migration object to hang our migration code onto. This seems like a good idea if you have an RDB since this will consist of SQL statements to make the migration. Set them up as a sequence and run them on the gold once a week, or more, to create the silver, run the unit tests to verify the silver.
It's also important to distinguish unit from
ing here. "I want to see the effects in a database" - that's acceptance testing. DB
s can use extremely simplified databases and can populate 'em and delete 'em in their setup/teardown routines. If you want to see the effects, that means you want to test something end to end - ergo you're looking to construct a acceptance test, and that justifies all the bronze/silver/gold overhead Don mentions. --
True enough Peter, good advice. We did a poor job of differentiating between
s and
s at
. We had tests that created data from scratch as you say. But we had to do the overhead anyway because much of our source code was in the database itself. We had to keep the browsable version in sync with the compiled database version. We did get lots of practice migrating our database that way. --
This is interesting. An ex-colleague who is completely convinced of the benefits of the XP testing regime, but hadn't used it against RDBMS's suffered a real mental block over this. He couldn't get over the idea that the contents and or schema of his test DB (we had something similar to the gold/silver/bronze setup) instance might have to change as new tests came along, or existing ones were modified during refactoring. He had a lot of difficulty overcoming this strong feeling that the db schema was the definitive document, not the tests. This is a cultural problem, I think, and needs to have an eye kept out for.
There is the more general point, however: mayn't the clunkiness of some RDBMS implementations tend to start flexing the cost-of-change curve upwards, thus weakening the conditions for XP? This is mentioned on
, and highlights the sensitivity to conditions that Beck mentions in EPEEC, but which seems (to me) to have been glossed over in the various online discussions.
At this point in the development of XP, when the early adopters are starting to come on line, maybe the XP community should face up to this sensitivity (which I think is inherent in any development approach) and maybe head off the disillusion that could result from mis-application.

Postcard from West Point
Last month I was honored to participate in the 64th annual SCUSA conference (Student Conference on US Affairs) at the US Military Academy in West Point, New York. The conference is a venue where college students from around the country (both American and foreign) spend four days at West Point to debate various foreign policy topics and foster positive civil-military relations from an early age.
The theme of this year's conference was appropriately "Leading in Lean Times: Assuring Accountability and Assessing American Priorities in an Age of Austerity." I was a faculty co-chair of the roundtable on Latin America, and the students in our group were hard-pressed to devise foreign policies (both conventional and unconventional) that would promote US priorities in the region without breaking the bank.
As part of the experience, the college students sleep in the barracks and eat in the mess hall, literally getting a taste for what military life is like. For their part, the military cadets get a chance to remember what civilians are like.
Donning my social scientist hat, I came away with two main observations about the interactions among the students:
- The cadets motivated the civilian college students to push their limits of endurance (discipline?) and to stay goal-oriented (complete the mission) as group members collaborated non-stop for three days to produce a policy paper.
- The college students pushed the cadets to think outside the box and question conventional wisdom and authority (at least once in a while).
I certainly benefitted from an extra dose of both of those things, and I'm sure we all could!
I highly recommend the conference to all students (and faculty) as a great way to meet wonderful, engaging people and get an insider's view of one of our nation's finest educational institutions and training grounds for military officers.
My recollections of SCUSA align closely with yours. I went as a Midshipmen from the Naval Academy in 1991 and again as a military instructor in 2000. The Social Sciences department at West Point hosts a high quality event.
In Annapolis, for the past 50 years, we have held the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC) to similarly gather undergraduates from around the world to discuss contemporary topics of international relations. We'll again be doing so from 9-11 April, 2013. This year's theme is "A Time of Transition: Crafting Foreign Policy for the Near Term." It is a great conference for your students to hear from a wide range of distinguished speakers and engage in small groups with their peers. More information is available at http://www.usna.edu/NAFAC .
Oliver, I hope you are able to send a postcard from Annapolis next Spring.
(And if you are wondering where the government gets funding to put on this event, the conference is wholly funded by the generosity of private donors and alumni for the benefit of our future leaders in the private and public spheres.)

Sports fans have more options than ever when deciding how to view a sporting event. HD and 3D televisions make the action more real at home and give fans a way to watch the game on the cheap, all from the comfort of their own homes.
This is leading sports organizations to invest large amounts of money into creating unique fan experience areas within their arenas and stadiums. By creating additional fan engagement areas that fans cannot get with an at-home experience, organizations are hoping to raise their chances of getting fans back.
With the NFL season approaching quickly, here are three new and recent fan-experience renovations to NFL stadiums:
1. EverBank Field — Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars have never been shy about trying new things to attract fans to come to the games — and forget about the mostly lackluster product on the field. With that in mind, the Jaguars have three unique offerings that are new for fans heading into 2014:
New Video Boards: Jerryworld (AT&T Stadium) no longer holds the record for largest video board in the NFL. The Jaguars decided to out-do the Cowboy's monstrosity with a 60 feet by 362 feet video board. (Did we mention there are two of these in the stadium?)
Redzone Channel: Fantasy football fans in Jacksonville can rejoice as they no longer have to worry about missing all the scoring action around the league because they are at the stadium. The Jaguars will be broadcasting the NFL RedZone channel on their ridiculously large video screens during Jaguars' games. It's a bold move that some think will take the focus off the field and devalue the on-field product, but the Jaguars see it as a way to reach a new demographic of fans.
Endzone pool cabanas: Who hasn't imagined watching an NFL game with a group of your closest friends from a poolside cabana inside the stadium? The Jaguars are offering a totally unique gameday experience with a Poolside Cabana suite. The Jaguars removed 9,500 seats from the North end zone to create a two-story party deck complete with two pools and 16 cabanas. It's an interesting tactic that goes after younger viewers along with an attractive package to market to companies, which can buy a pool-side suite with 50 tickets (including all you can drink and eat) for about $250 per person.
2. Bank of America Stadium — Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are in the middle of a three-year, three-phase renovation of Bank of America Stadium, with the first phase costing $65 million and being completed just last month. Additional renovations will follow in 2015 and 2016, but here's a look at what upgrades fans will have access to this year:
New entrance bays and stadium escalators: Fans can now get into the stadium and to their seats with unprecedented ease. With additional entry points, there will be less congestion getting in and out of the stadium. Escalators will streamline the experience for fans getting up to the terrace-level seats. At the top of these escalators are 2,500-square feet of open-air canopies for fans in the 500-level to enjoy.
New Video boards: Two new 63-feet high by 212-feet long high-definition, LED video boards will rise above each end zone and provide Panthers' fans with new access to video content. These new video screens are two-and-a-half times bigger than the previous versions.
New audio system: Before this season, the Panthers housed all the audio in one end of the stadium making it difficult for fans on the opposite end of the stadium too clearly hear the sound. The new system is high-efficiency and curved throughout the stadium, meaning fans will never be farther than 100-feet from a speaker.

3. Ralph Wilson Stadium — Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills, who have fans excited with a young, potentially explosive duo of EJ Manuel and Sammy Watkins, are also investing into the fan experience with $130 million in renovations to Ralph Wilson Stadium
New video and statistics LED boards: The Bills, much like the Jaguars, realize how much importance a lot of fans place on fantasy football, so they have installed two scoreboards (33 feet tall by 60 feet wide) in one end zone to give real-time fantasy information to fans inside the stadium. Those two video boards will also be joined by a new 189-feet wide LED video board, while the existing video board in the west end of the stadium is also being lengthened.
Local food: Buffalo is embracing a nationwide trend of people wanting to dine on the cuisine that is native to the area in which they live. Home of the Buffalo wing, the Bills are embracing this trend and contracting with more local food vendors inside the stadium than ever before, including the well-known Duff's Famous Wings.
Miscellaneous upgrades:
— Wider entrance gates to streamline the stadium-entry process
— More-efficient beer and food lines
— Additional space in the team store (four times the size of the previous version)
— More restrooms
Keeping pace with stadium renovations in the NFL is a constant arms race, and these three stadiums are just a small sample of the different projects that are going on around the league.

A psychiatric resident tossed in his sweaty bed in the on-call room while a few hundred yards away a young woman was clinging naked to a barbaric window grill in the summer night. "I love yo-o-o-ou, Dr. Titchener; I love yo-o-o-ou," she wailed like a banshee through the campus of the city hospital and into the open window of the on-call room.

As we enter into 2012 Irish people do so facing another year of dealing with austerity, bleak economic forecasts and stark social conditions.
It is a position which is not the responsibility of those are now suffering most; the mortgage holders, the unemployed and the elderly.
It is a position which had its die cast by a Fianna Fáil government, its treasonous portrayals of public representation and its blatant distain for their moral obligation to the people of Ireland.
It is the position that has filled the public coffers with only anger and distrust, a palpable lack of faith in the body politic, one which the body politic truly deserves for its past transgressions.
But we must enter 2012 with a new energy and attitude. A year where those entrusted with building an New Ireland show the dynamism, guile and bravery in policy making which delivers on the rhetoric of the last elections.
It is not an easy task, one which requires the input of all, and no more so than an opposition with a similar passion for this New Ireland.
An opposition whose policies offer the voters true democratic value and positive choice at the ballot box, instead they are being offered a Sinn Fein party who can spot the problem with everything and sadly the answer for nothing.
It is truly the politics of the professional; an exercise in shameless vote grabbing, riding the frustration of a disillusioned public without shame or providing alternative.
Sinn Fein's 'Empty Barrel' politics rely on their shouts to fill the void needed filling with sense and progressive thinking.
Their continued objective to cry foul without conscience or remorse is all the more galling considering their self-image as the 'Republican Party'.
There is nothing more dangerous to the rebirth of our Republic than an irresponsible opposition, one which is unable to perform its role with good duty and moral decency.
If Sinn Fein cannot or are unwilling to step up to the mark in terms of providing alternative policy, then one can only hope they will be recognised as the danger they are to a public who have been damaged so badly by the politically incapable in the recent past.

This is but one of many types of access valves. Most are pretty easy to figure out, though, if you understand this one. You use an "Allen" wrench to screw this plunger down (closed) and unscrew it to open. Normally, you will not need to do any of this because screwing the hose onto the port on the side will give you the pressure reading you seek. When you remove the hex cap on the service valve, you find a female hex opening to allow the moving of the internal plunger that blocks the flow of the refrigerant inside the copper lines. The main purpose of the liquid line valve plunger is to pump-down the system and, of course, it is closed during shipping and storage. If you close (rotate clockwise) you can stop the flow of refrigerant at this valve plunger and pump all the refrigerant into the condenser section and thus be able to work on the rest of the system with no refrigerant in it. You do this procedure while running the system. Let it run for a bit to become stable and then close the liquid line valve plunger. The refrigerant can no longer get past the valves plunger and the compressor will suck the refrigerant from the rest of the system, pump it into the condenser and refrigerant will be stopped by the valve plunger on the other end of the condenser coils. Watch the gauge pressures and when they both get NEAR the zero pounds, stop the unit and the pressures should remain as you last saw it (while it was running). All the refrigerant is in the condenser. The plunger holds it at one side of the condenser coil and the discharge valves inside the compressor should hold the other side of the condenser pressure from coming back into the compressor. This will hold all the refrigerant in the condenser and will leave no pressure on the compressor crankcase, suction line, evaporator and the liquid line (from the cooling coil to the condenser liquid valve plunger that is closed). If the pressures begin to creep back up, then the liquid line valve plunger is leaking or not closed well. Or, the discharge valves inside the compressor may be cracked or broken. You can quickly close the plunger on the suction line (if the problem is the compressor valves) as soon as you turn off the unit from running and it will at least confine the leaking pressure to the compressor (and of course the condenser coils). This should explain the need (or convenience) for the existence of the service port plungers.
TIP:Three kinds of complications can occur when
attempting to pump-down a system.

What are you most proud of? I pulled this project out of a possible state of failure. Initially it looked plain and had some fit issues. I decided that this top needed something... frilly added to it. I settled on the neck ruffle idea after playing around with some leftover scraps in my fabric stash. I also decided to add an inner tie as well as two hook and eyes for modesty since the slippery fabric kept showing too much gap in the front. The original pattern also called for a much fuller cuffed sleeve which I decided to replace with a simpler sleeve.

Programme Note: The Big Picnic
On Monday 4 August (17.45), GFT host the 20th anniversary screening of The Big Picnic, as broadcast by BBC Scotland in 1996 and recorded live at the former Harland & Wolff Engine Shed Govan, Glasgow, 28 Sep – 13 Nov 1994.
Given the chance to explain The Big Picnic and what I set out to achieve I have decided two things, one; not to explain, and two, pay tribute.
In my professional life I have never had closer collaboration than with Bill Dudley, John Tams, Phil Cunningham, Stuart Hopps and Sebastian Graham- Jones. The parts of this show that are theirs are sometimes hard to measure. You see in the programme the specific work that is their responsibility, but it goes beyond that. Sometimes a song is suggested by a designer and sometimes a plan of design by a maker of tunes. This is genuine collaboration and the work of a fine creative family.
Also to the Producer and the Chairman and my friends Jim Higgins and Ed Crozier but, finally, its all for you the people of Govan and the audience beyond.
Bill Bryden CBE Background
The Battle of The Somme and the subsequent trench warfare on the Western Front from 1914-1918, stamped the then-new 20th Century with its most enduring image: No Mans Land, that lethal wasteland of devastation which signalled the end of both innocence and faith with its sudden destruction of the natural world and human life by a completely new and terrifying mechanised process. It was this, strangely visual event that we wanted to describe and commemorate 80 years later and where better, we thought, than Harland and Wolff where we had staged The Ship in 1990. The shed seemed to contain the very essence of the early 20th Century machine age so appropriate for this most grim industrialised war.
We decided to lay out a section of the wasteland exploiting the great size of our shed/theatre. Because its very length of 250 feet was no more than the amount of ground sometimes gained after days of fighting which often cost thousands of lives. To utilise this epic space to the full, we again adopted the promenade style, where the audience move with the action so that they too advance along the 250ft and retreat and advance again and retreat again before the day is over. The other element in our wasteland is our version of the old theatrical device known as the Deus-ex-Machina or The God of the Machine, which in 17th Century theatre lowered in the Gods and the Goddesses. In our version, we have reinstated the bridge crane as used when the shed was first built and which rides on the original rails that can carry over 50 tonne. This mobile crane represents the remorseless, inhuman tide of destruction as it cruises back and forth, like a great bird scavenging over the battlefield. Its central icon is the Angel of Death, here called the Angel of Mons. She is a distillation of the many (over 10,000) sightings and mass hallucinations reported by allied soldiers, who saw visions of angels and folk heroes, saints and lost relatives in the sky over the Western Front. For us, she is the arbitrary hand of fate and the bringer of release from this hell.
In researching this piece, I have been struck by a paradox of trench warfare which many poets and artists have described and that is the terrible beauty of it all, particularly at night with the searchlights and starshell tracer bullets and gas clouds playing over the underground city of the trenches. We have tried to evoke this eerie firework display whose effect was so sinister, despite its beauty and scale. My own grandfather was gassed on the Somme but he would never talk to me about it. In working on our show, I have come closer to understand what he went through.

Another program that does not appear automatically on I Player, most annoying, do not understand why there is not a BBC Scotland option we can set. I pay my licence fee like everyone else. I have already complained about this and nothing happens.
When will it become available here. do we have to keep looking ?????

Kirk E. Lowery (MDiv, Talbot Graduate School of Theology; MA, PhD University of California, Los Angeles) is President and Senior Research Fellow of the J. Alan Groves Center for Advanced Biblical Research. He is also Adjunct Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary teaching doctoral seminars in Advanced Hebrew Syntax, Text Linguistics of Biblical Hebrew and ancient near eastern languages such as Aramaic and Ugaritic. His research interests include the intersection of information technology with biblical studies, as well as general and computational linguistics.
The Groves Center produces the Westminster Hebrew Morphology, used by most Bible software that offer access to the original text. He is also a former Chair of the Computer Assisted Research Group (CARG) of the Society of Biblical Literature, and is one of the moderators of the B-Hebrew Internet discussion forum.
Kirk Lowery's academic career began in the late 1970s correcting hardcopy printout of a Syriac chrestomathy stored on punchcards. His graduate work at the University of California, Los Angeles (M.A., Ph.D.) included proofreading of the book of Judges for the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) effort to create the electronic version of Biblia Hebraica Stuttargtensia under the direction of H. Van Parunak. His dissertation, Toward a Discourse Grammar of Biblical Hebrew, includes the first published algorithm for the determination of clause boundaries in Hebrew and raised the question of the adequacy of traditional Hebrew grammatical categories and notions in a computational world. It was also among the first to be printed at UCLA by a room-sized laser printer, using bitmaps of Hebrew characters created in consultation with the Department of Computer Science.
Dr. Lowery taught and lived in Eastern Europe for fifteen years, including eight years as Professor of Old Testament for the Baptist Theological Seminary in Budapest. He is fluent in German and Hungarian. In 1998 he joined the staff of Westminster Theological Seminary as Associate Director of the Westminster Hebrew Institute working together with Prof. Alan Groves. In 2002 he assumed responsibilities as Director of the Institute until the Groves Center was incorporated as an independent non-profit corporation in 2009.
Dr. Lowery is married to Jean, and they have one son, Kevin, who is pursuing a masters degree (music performance, violoncello) at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Lowery's personal interests include the active study of the oboe and he is a licensed Amateur Radio operator (call sign: KB3TLA).

Baseboard heater, electrical wires spark house blaze
Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue (CKFR) and Bremerton Fire crews responded to a house fire at Wyoming Street and Perry Avenue in Bremerton at about 10:30 p.m. May 8.
Upon arrival, firefighters noticed smoke coming from several openings of the house. A mother and her children saw the fire behind the couch and evacuated the building.
Crews entered the house and extinguished the fire, which was contained to one room. They ventilated the building and damage was estimated at $15,000.
A couch pushed up against a baseboard heater with electrical wires on the heater caused the blaze, according to a CKFR report.

Customer Reviews
- Excellent product – Review by arcangel329, posted on 10/9/13
Value Quality PriceAfter years of using a plastic bucket, I recently purchased two of these to organize, stow and protect flares in the trunk of my patrol car. Each will hold approximately 18 flares, and the containers stand upright and are easy to locate and grab in the very crowded car trunk. The container keeps the wax coating on the flares from getting on other equipment and the rigid insert protects the flares from damage. The cloth is durable and the reflective striping is a nice touch. I have recommended these to local volunteer fire fighters to help with flare storage in their rescue and EMS units. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
|Looking for the best road flares and roadside emergency kits? You've found them with Orion, the world's largest manufacturer of emergency flares. Anytime you see safety flares, chances are you're seeing an Orion product, backed by nearly 100 years of innovation and technology. All of their flare products are made in the United States under strict quality and safety guidelines. Police, Fire, EMS and other public safety officers can rest assured that they are getting the best performing products for their for their safety, signaling, and roadside emergency needs with Orion.

The Los Angeles Lakers were able to capture a pivotal win in Game 4 on the road in Denver. Tonight, the Nuggets face elimination if the Lakers are able to close out on their home court in the Staples Center.
The Lakers have played at a higher level at home all season long. This has continued so far in the first round as the Lakers haven't allowed the Nuggets to lead in scoring at all in Los Angeles.
Especially at home, there are necessities that already seem to fall in line. Kobe Bryant can be counted on to make an impact, even if he struggles with efficiency. Also, having the home crowd on your side will transfer to the players performing with passion and intensity, something the Lakers have struggled with on the road in the regular season and in most of Games 3 and 4 in Denver.
Nevertheless, there are three keys for the Lakers to employ during Game 5 tonight in order to not extend this series and move on to the next opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Roger Federer's bittersweet forehand delivered both pleasure and pain in his three-set loss to Novak Djokovic at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Tuesday night.
Djokovic defeated Federer 6-4, 6-7(2), 6-2 and no shot on the court had more bearing on the final outcome of the match than Federer's once-feared forehand.
This used to be the difference-maker for the Swiss legend – the shot more than any other that has firmly cemented his name in the upper echelon of the record books.
But while it still shows flashes of brilliance, it is increasingly to blame for the losses that are mounting up at a rate we are not used to seeing.
Federer hit seven forehand winners for the match with two coming from cross court passing shots and one from a cleverly disguised drop shot. That only leaves four true baseline forehand winners in three sets from the former world number one. We are used to seeing that in three games – especially at the year-end finals where he has won a record six titles.
All four of Federer's forehand winners were directed towards Djokovic's backhand wing, with two straight down the line and the other two coming from run-around forehands in the Ad court hit behind Djokovic.
When Federer last beat Djokovic, in the final of the ATP World Tour Masters in Cincinnati last year, Federer hit 10 forehand winners and made only 15 errors in two sets and had much more control of the back of the court with his favorite shot.
Last night in London Federer's forehand coughed up 33 errors with 11 in the opening set, 15 in the second set and seven in the deciding set. Federer's forehand was the primary target for Djokovic to attack as Federer's backhand only produced three winners and 21 errors.
Of the 20 forehand errors Federer made in the deuce court last night, 75% (15) were committed standing wider near the singles line and 25% (5) closer to the middle of the court. These are similar numbers to their match in the final at the O2 last year where Federer made 29 forehand errors in the deuce court with 80% (21) coming out wide and 18% (9) closer to the middle of the court. Stretching Federer wide to his forehand was a winning tactic for Djokovic in London last year and also this year.
Federer also had one other major hole in his game last night against Djokovic – first serve location in the deuce court. Federer typically serves wide in the deuce court more than down the T but that flipped last night for Federer which hurt him much more than it helped him. Federer attempted 19 first serves out wide, five at the body and 28 to the lower percentage but higher reward target right down the middle.
Serving down the T in the deuce court offers a smaller target to hit to and is also directed at Djokovic's better backhand return side. The pressure of these factors had Federer only making eight (28%) of the 28 first serves he attempted there. When he made it he won all eight, but missing 20 first serves and giving Djokovic a look at 20 second serves in the deuce court is a heavy price to pay.
Federer did a much better job serving down the T in the Ad court, making 80% (16/20) and winning 75% (12/16) of the time. Serving out wide in the Ad was his tougher location where he only made 50% (14/28) of his first serves and won 50% (7/14) of those points.
Federer did show a strong commitment to come to the net to finish points where he won 64% (16/25) of his points while Djokovic had similar numbers winning 60% (12/20) of the time. When the points got longer, particularly in the third set, it was Djokovic who typically prevailed in those exchanges.
Federer must immediately find a way to become a lot tighter with his two major weapons, his serve and forehand, in his remaining matches against Juan Martin Del Potro and Richard Gasquet if he has any hope of reaching the semi-finals on Sunday.

The fishing licenses are selling. The ponies are ready to run. And the beer never stopped flowing.
Our work is done.
We launched the shutdown blog June 23 as way for you to keep up quickly on the state budget impasse. We took you to the moment of shutdown and then grinded it out through today, delivering as much information as we could.
With the shutdown officially ended, we're putting the blog to pasture and shaving off the official shutdown beard.
Please check out MPR's fine Capitol View blog for stories on the efforts to restart state government.
We posted a ton the past four weeks -- and got a ton of great responses and questions from readers and listeners. You made the coverage better. Thanks.
Thanks to you, Paul, and all the other fine MPR'ers for the excellent coverage. During the shutdown (and the shutdown blog's existence), MPR and this blog was my constant source for information.
The morning didn't start until I visited Capitol View, the Shutdown Blog, and NewsCut. Then it was off to all the other MPR news...and regular visits throughout the day.
Thanks again!
Mike, much obliged!
You all did a great job covering the state government shutdown. Thanks for the hard work, long hours, and dedication.
