MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Senior Dani Gallucci (Orlando, Fla.) earned a win in game one and a save in game two Tuesday evening. She pitched 10 innings while allowing only one run on five hits and striking out 13 batters between the two games as the Georgia College softball team (30-12, 12-4 PBC) swept No. 19 Columbus State University (29-13, 10-4 PBC) by scores of 2-1 and 4-3.
All of the runs in the first game of the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) matchup would be scored in the fourth inning. Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) and Abi LeRoy (Dublin, Ga.) reached base to start the inning. Kristen Humphries (Columbus, Ga.) reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Okvist and then LeRoy scored two batters later, when Gallucci reached base on an error.
The Cougars would get a run in the bottom of the inning, on a Casey Googe leadoff home run, but Gallucci would hold the CSU from that point on, allowing a single baserunner in the final three innings.
Mollie Russell of CSU dropped to 15-7 on the year even though she held the Bobcats to two hits in the complete game loss. Gallucci improved to 11-4 on the year.
Both teams pushed runs across in the first inning of game two, as the LeRoy put an 0-2 pitch over the rightfield fence to put the Bobcats up 2-0. The Lady Cougars scored a run on a fielder error.
CSU would take the lead in the bottom of the second, as Kodi Ricketson homered to centerfield. The Bobcats answered in the top of the third, as Okvist and LeRoy both scored on a fielding error by the Lady Cougar pitcher.
Both pitching staffs tightened from that point on, LeRoy would make it through four innings allowing the three runs before giving way to Gallucci for the final three innings. Kristen Carr of the Lady Cougars pitched 4 2/3 innings of shutout relief in the losing effort.
Gallucci earned her second save of the season, which ties her in the PBC for second most. She also lowered her ERA to 1.22, third in the PBC and the win places her sixth, right behind teammate Marisa Boyette (Marietta, Ga.).
Okvist stole three bases in the games, giving her 35 on the year and 111 in her career, moving her past Sarah Donnely of USC Aiken and into sixth place all-time for the PBC.
The Bobcats return to the field Wednesday, April 10 at 5 p.m. as they face off against USC Aiken (20-14-1, 7-7 PBC) at the Peeler Complex.

Streaming the 223rd AAS Meeting
At this year's AAS meeting, I have plans to step up our live-streaming game. If you want to see all streams that we're planning (schedule will follow) then bookmark this page and watch my Twitter feed for announcements.
I want to emphasize that this is an experiment, so there will be lots of strangeness, and there are issues of copyright and privacy that I need to think about. I'm primarily going to stream at the exhibit hall at our booth with a sign that says something like, 'This area is being streamed on the internet' to let people know this is going on and give them a chance to stay clear of the camera.
Most of the science sessions are off limits too since the AAS considers them intellectual property, but we do have permission to stream a few events.
For example, we have permission to live-stream the JWST Town Hall and JWST Science Sessions on Wednesday, along with any Hubble Science Sessions. I'll post a schedule as soon as some things have been shored up and finalized. Should be a lot of fun!
So if you're interested in watching an experiment in public outreach in action, then bookmark this page and visit often. If nothing live is going on at the time, then the last recorded stream will be shown.
Please give me feedback on what you think and offer any ideas and suggestion by commenting on the stream or sending me a tweet @DeepAstronomy. This stream will also be available on our Facebook Page under the Ustream Live App.

User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionMr. Do!'s Castle is an action platform game which has you in a castle consisting of several floors, each of which contain a variety of blocks. You control Mr. Do! the clown who has a hammer which can be used to knock out the blocks in the floor. Wandering throughout the castle are deadly unicorns which are constantly trying to catch you. Your goal is to earn as many points as possible and to progress through the increasingly difficult castles.
There are two ways to complete a castle; you can either destroy all of the deadly unicorns by crushing them with blocks, or you can knock out all of the blocks which have a cherry symbol on them. In addition to the cherry blocks, there are three blocks with a key. If all three key blocks are knocked out, the door on the roof of the castle unlocks. If you make it to the door, all of the unicorns will temporarily become harmless and will contain a letter. If you hit a letter unicorn, you will earn a letter in the word EXTRA. Spell the complete word, and you will earn an extra life.
The last type of block you'll encounter has a skull on it. If you knock out two skull blocks, all of the blocks between them will also be knocked out and replaced with a bridge. As the castles progress, the castle layout will become trickier and the unicorns become faster and more numerous.

Ty Dillon Salvages 16th-Place Finish in Corn Country
After leading laps and racing within the top-10 for the majority of the event, Ty Dillon and the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet team suffered damage in the last three laps of the race at Iowa Speedway extinguishing the chances of a top-five finish. Dillon scored the third-fastest time in qualifying and immediately showed the speed of the Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet from the beginning of the 200-lap affair. The first caution of the night waved on lap 54 and Dillon was called to pit road by crew chief Marcus Richmond for four tires, fuel and a chassis adjustment to alleviate handling issues due to changing track conditions. A fast stop by the No. 3 team earned Dillon the top spot on the ensuing restart. Dillon paced the field for the next 58 circuits around the Newton, Iowa facility. After taking a little extra time on pit road under yellow flag conditions on lap 112 to pack the black and orange machine full of fuel, Dillon restarted second but quickly jumped back to the lead on lap 173. Dillon had put a three-truck length lead on the field when another caution slowed the drivers on lap 191. Dillon was shuffled back to third on the restart and began his trek back to the front when contact was made with another competitor with three laps remaining. The contact forced Dillon into the outside wall, resulting in damage to the right-side of the truck. The Richard Childress Racing driver nursed his battered machine back to the checkered flag in the 16th position.
Start - 3 Finish - 16 Laps Led - 65 Points - 4th
Brendan Gaughan Finishes 31st at Iowa Speedway
Brendan Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet team suffered damage from an incident in the early stages of the 200-lap event at Iowa Speedway on Saturday night, relegating them to a 31st-place finish. Starting from the fourth spot, Gaughan maintained a position within the top 10 during the early laps. While rounding the 0.875-mile track on lap 60, he made contact with another competitor sending the black and gold machine into the outside wall. Crew chief Shane Wilson directed the Las Vegas native to pit road to assess the damage. The No. 62 pit crew went to work repairing the right-side of the Chevrolet. Gaughan returned to the racing surface four laps later, but quickly reported the steering was impacted during the incident. Gaughan took his South Point Hotel & Casino truck to the garage area for further repairs. The Richard Childress Racing driver returned to racing action on lap 105, 41 laps down to the leaders. With limited time to make up lost track position, Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino team settled for a 31st-place result.
Start - 4 Finish - 31 Laps Led - 0 Points - 9th
"We had a really solid truck tonight at Iowa Speedway. I hate it for this South Point Hotel & Casino team. We were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The guys worked really hard to get us back out on track as fast as they could. We just couldn't make up the ground we lost. We're going to keep moving forward and work hard. The good finishes will come back to us."

Status Report: MESSENGER Passes the Billion-Mile Mark!
March 24, 2006
On March 23 MESSENGER reached the one-billion mile mark, placing the spacecraft about one-fifth of the way toward its destination to orbit Mercury. On that same day, in the early morning hours (UTC), the spacecraft's distance from the Sun was about the same as the Earth's distance to the Sun. "One billion miles and the team and spacecraft are doing well," says Mission Operations Manager Mark Holdridge of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), where the spacecraft is operated and where it was designed and built.
For a complete look at MESSENGER's journey through the inner solar system, visit the Mission Design section of the Web site at ../../../About/Mission-Design.html.
Flop Positions Spacecraft toward the Sun
The MESSENGER spacecraft performed its final "flop" maneuver for the mission on March 8, pointing the back side of the spacecraft to the Sun until June 2006. This rotation about the X-axis is performed whenever the solar distance increases beyond approximately 0.95 astronomical units (AU), nearly the distance between the Earth and the Sun. At this distance, the solar arrays do not generate enough power to operate all spacecraft components simultaneously, including instruments and heaters. The "flop" is performed to heat the back side of the spacecraft with the Sun. A "flip" maneuver reverses the effect of the "flop" maneuver by pointing the sunshade toward the Sun. This solar heating reduces the need for multiple onboard heaters, providing the necessary power until the spacecraft is closer to the Sun again. Previous flip, flop, and flip maneuvers were performed on March 8, 2005, June 14, 2005, and September 7, 2005. The spacecraft is scheduled to flip back toward the Sun on June 21.
MESSENGER's Science Team Web Site Is Up!
Even though the MESSENGER spacecraft is years away from entering its final destination of orbiting Mercury, the mission Science Team is already very busy collecting scientific data and sharing it with the larger scientific community. Those plans and results are now available on the team's new Web site; http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/soc/index.php. Check it out now to view images and data returned by the MESSENGER instruments from the successful Earth flyby on August 2, 2005, the first of six planetary flybys in the mission plan; see a bibliography of publications by project team members about the MESSENGER mission and related Mercury science, dating back to when NASA first selected the MESSENGER mission in 1999; and access a list of recent presentations about MESSENGER and related science issues made by Science Team members.
MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet Mercury, and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet closest to the Sun. The MESSENGER spacecraft launched on Aug. 3, 2004, and after flybys of Earth, Venus and Mercury will start a yearlong study of its target planet in March 2011. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, leads the mission as principal investigator. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory built and operates the MESSENGER spacecraft and manages the Discovery-class mission for NASA.

Okay, dear friends, I promised big news at the end of the week and here it is: the Louis Armstrong House Museum is up for a major grant through Partners in Preservation (PiP for short). But it's not your typical fill-out-a-grant-application-and-wait kind of deal. PiP has partnered with American Express for a little competition, pitting 40 New York City cultural organization against each other to see who could get the most votes through Facebook and Twitter.
The Louis Armstrong House Museum is lucky enough to be one of the 40! If we win, we would get $250,000 to restore to Louis Armstrong's garden. This is a beautiful space where we have all of our outdoor events, including concerts for kids. But it needs work and this grant would be ideal to get it done.
So how can you help? By voting for us at http://partnersinpreservation.com/. Once there, scroll down the list and find the Louis Armstrong House Museum. If you're already on Facebook, you can just click "Vote with Facebook" and it's done--one click! If not, there's a spot for an e-mail address and password. Fill it in, they'll send you a confirmation letter with an activation link and you'll be good to go.
But here's the next catch: you can vote once a day, every day until the competition ends on May 21! So if you read this, cast a vote and disappear....well, thanks, but we need more! Once a day, a simple click for a vote could go a long way for us to reach our goal. We're up against some big institutions but we have one thing they don't have: Louis Armstrong. Pops has international appeal--hello readers in Sweden, Germany, England, Italy, etc.!--so tell your friends, please, to help us out.
And in the meantime, if you are on Facebook, please "Like" our page here: Louis Armstrong House Museum Facebook Page. I'm helping with it these days and it's going to be filled in the next few weeks with Pops trivia, YouTube videos and special photographs from our collections. Also all sorts of fun stuff like this video I shot yesterday. The PiP campaign was announced at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Afterwards, some of our friends--who just happen to be some of the finest traditional jazz musicians in town--organized on the steps of the Met for an impromptu jam session for Louis. I whipped out my iPhone and though the video is a little skinny, the sound comes through. You'll see Bria Skonberg, Gordon Au, Emily Asher and more, coming out for Pops's cause:
So thank you for reading this and remember, please vote daily. Louis Armstrong needs you! Thanks a million....

.8 Git on the Server - Gitolite
This section serves as a quick introduction to gitolite, and provides basic installation and setup instructions. It cannot, however, replace the enormous amount of documentation that gitolite comes with. There may also be occasional changes to this section itself, so you may also want to look at the latest version here.
Gitolite is an authorisation layer on top of git, relying on sshd or httpd for authentication. (Recap: authentication is identifying who the user is, authorisation is deciding if he is allowed to do what he is attempting to).
Gitolite allows you to specify permissions not just by repository, but also by branch or tag names within each repository. That is, you can specify that certain people (or groups of people) can only push certain "refs" (branches or tags) but not others.
Installing Gitolite is very easy, even if you don't read the extensive documentation that comes with it. You need an account on a Unix server of some kind. You do not need root access, assuming git, perl, and an openssh compatible ssh server are already installed. In the examples below, we will use the
git account on a host called
Gitolite is somewhat unusual as far as "server" software goes -- access is via ssh, and so every userid on the server is a potential "gitolite host". We will describe the simplest install method in this article; for the other methods please see the documentation.
To begin, create a user called
git on your server and login to this user. Copy your ssh pubkey (a file called
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub if you did a plain
ssh-keygen with all the defaults) from your workstation, renaming it to
YourName.pub. Then run these commands:
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
gitolite/install -ln
# assumes $HOME/bin exists and is in your $PATH
gitolite setup -pk $HOME/YourName.pub
# for example, I would run 'gitolite setup -pk $HOME/sitaram.pub'
Finally, back on your workstation, run
git clone git@server:gitolite-admin.
And you're done! Gitolite has now been installed on the server, and you now have a brand new repository called
gitolite-admin in your workstation. You administer your gitolite setup by making changes to this repository and pushing.
Customising the Install
While the default, quick, install works for most people, there are some ways to customise the install if you need to. Some changes can be made simply by editing the rc file, but if that is not sufficient, there's documentation on customising gitolite.
Config File and Access Control Rules
Once the install is done, you switch to the
gitolite-admin clone you just made on your workstation, and poke around to see what you got:
$ cd ~/gitolite-admin/
$ ls
conf/ keydir/
$ find conf keydir -type f
$ cat conf/gitolite.conf
repo gitolite-admin
RW+ = sitaram
repo testing
RW+ = @all
Notice that "sitaram" (the name of the pubkey in the gl-setup command you used earlier) has read-write permissions on the
gitolite-admin repository as well as a public key file of the same name.
Adding users is easy. To add a user called "alice", obtain her public key, name it "alice.pub", and put it in the "keydir" directory of the clone of the gitolite-admin repo you just made on your workstation. Add, commit, and push the change, and the user has been added.
The config file syntax for gitolite is well documented, so we'll only mention some highlights here.
You can group users or repos for convenience. The group names are just like macros; when defining them, it doesn't even matter whether they are projects or users; that distinction is only made when you use the "macro".
@oss_repos = linux perl rakudo git gitolite
@secret_repos = fenestra pear
@admins = scott # Adams, not Chacon, sorry :)
@interns = ashok # get the spelling right, Scott!
@engineers = sitaram dilbert wally alice
@staff = @admins @engineers @interns
You can control permissions at the "ref" level. In the following example, interns can only push the "int" branch. Engineers can push any branch whose name starts with "eng-", and tags that start with "rc" followed by a digit. And the admins can do anything (including rewind) to any ref.
repo @oss_repos
RW int$ = @interns
RW eng- = @engineers
RW refs/tags/rc[0-9] = @engineers
RW+ = @admins
The expression after the
RW or
RW+ is a regular expression (regex) that the refname (ref) being pushed is matched against. So we call it a "refex"! Of course, a refex can be far more powerful than shown here, so don't overdo it if you're not comfortable with perl regexes.
Also, as you probably guessed, Gitolite prefixes
refs/heads/ as a syntactic convenience if the refex does not begin with
An important feature of the config file's syntax is that all the rules for a repository need not be in one place. You can keep all the common stuff together, like the rules for all
oss_repos shown above, then add specific rules for specific cases later on, like so:
repo gitolite
RW+ = sitaram
That rule will just get added to the ruleset for the
gitolite repository.
At this point you might be wondering how the access control rules are actually applied, so let's go over that briefly.
There are two levels of access control in gitolite. The first is at the repository level; if you have read (or write) access to any ref in the repository, then you have read (or write) access to the repository.
The second level, applicable only to "write" access, is by branch or tag within a repository. The username, the access being attempted (
W or
+), and the refname being updated are known. The access rules are checked in order of appearance in the config file, looking for a match for this combination (but remember that the refname is regex-matched, not merely string-matched). If a match is found, the push succeeds. A fallthrough results in access being denied.
Advanced Access Control with "deny" rules
So far, we've only seen permissions to be one of
RW, or
RW+. However, gitolite allows another permission:
-, standing for "deny". This gives you a lot more power, at the expense of some complexity, because now fallthrough is not the only way for access to be denied, so the order of the rules now matters!
Let us say, in the situation above, we want engineers to be able to rewind any branch except master and integ. Here's how to do that:
RW master integ = @engineers
- master integ = @engineers
RW+ = @engineers
Again, you simply follow the rules top down until you hit a match for your access mode, or a deny. Non-rewind push to master or integ is allowed by the first rule. A rewind push to those refs does not match the first rule, drops down to the second, and is therefore denied. Any push (rewind or non-rewind) to refs other than master or integ won't match the first two rules anyway, and the third rule allows it.
Restricting pushes by files changed
In addition to restricting what branches a user can push changes to, you can also restrict what files they are allowed to touch. For example, perhaps the Makefile (or some other program) is really not supposed to be changed by just anyone, because a lot of things depend on it or would break if the changes are not done just right. You can tell gitolite:
repo foo
RW = @junior_devs @senior_devs
- VREF/NAME/Makefile = @junior_devs
User who are migrating from the older gitolite should note that there is a significant change in behaviour with regard to this feature; please see the migration guide for details.
Personal Branches
Gitolite also has a feature called "personal branches" (or rather, "personal branch namespace") that can be very useful in a corporate environment.
A lot of code exchange in the git world happens by "please pull" requests. In a corporate environment, however, unauthenticated access is a no-no, and a developer workstation cannot do authentication, so you have to push to the central server and ask someone to pull from there.
This would normally cause the same branch name clutter as in a centralised VCS, plus setting up permissions for this becomes a chore for the admin.
Gitolite lets you define a "personal" or "scratch" namespace prefix for each developer (for example,
refs/personal/<devname>/*); please see the documentation for details.
"Wildcard" repositories
Gitolite allows you to specify repositories with wildcards (actually perl regexes), like, for example
assignments/s[0-9][0-9]/a[0-9][0-9], to pick a random example. It allows you to assign a new permission mode ("C") which allows users to create repositories based on such wild cards, automatically assigns ownership to the specific user who created it, allows him/her to hand out R and RW permissions to other users to collaborate, etc. Again, please see the documentation for details.
Other Features
We'll round off this discussion with a sampling of other features, all of which, and many more, are described in great detail in the documentation.
Logging: Gitolite logs all successful accesses. If you were somewhat relaxed about giving people rewind permissions (
RW+) and some kid blew away "master", the log file is a life saver, in terms of easily and quickly finding the SHA that got hosed.
Access rights reporting: Another convenient feature is what happens when you try and just ssh to the server. Gitolite shows you what repos you have access to, and what that access may be. Here's an example:
hello sitaram, this is git@git running gitolite3 v3.01-18-g9609868 on git 220.127.116.11
R anu-wsd
R entrans
R W git-notes
R W gitolite
R W gitolite-admin
R indic_web_input
R shreelipi_converter
Delegation: For really large installations, you can delegate responsibility for groups of repositories to various people and have them manage those pieces independently. This reduces the load on the main admin, and makes him less of a bottleneck.
Mirroring: Gitolite can help you maintain multiple mirrors, and switch between them easily if the primary server goes down.

| Stairway to Devon
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Stairway to Devon (Japanese: デボンコーポレーション!アクア団の影!! Devon Corporation! Shadow of Aqua-dan!!) is the 17th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 291st episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 20, 2003, and in the United States on January 17, 2004.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Now that he's received a badge from the Rustboro City Gym, Ash is ready to leave Rustboro and head off to Dewford Island for his next gym battle. May has other ideas. She is thrilled to finally be in a big city and wants to do some shopping. Brock agrees, so they decide to stay. Meanwhile, Max is in a state of panic. He accidentally spilled his drink into May's PokéNav and it looks broken. He gets a tip from a strange old man to take the PokéNav to the Devon Corporation building. The man says that since they manufacture the device, they might be able to fix it. Desperate to avoid May's wrath, Max decides to go for it. Once inside, he learns that the strange old man is actually the president of Devon Corp! Max is really excited by all of the interesting projects the company is working on—but it soon becomes clear that there's in an intruder in the building who is after some of those experiments. Ash and crew arrive just in time to help Officer Jenny catch the intruder, but it's actually Team Rocket who end up saving the day!
Ash admires his Stone Badge before asking Max where the next Gym is. Max checks the PokéNav and announces that the next Gym is on Dewford Island. Brock and May are looking at guide books in amazement at all the shops and when Ash tries to get them to set out for Dewford Island, Brock replies without looking up that they have two hours before the next ferry, so they should look around the city until then. Max agrees and is about to check something on the PokéNav, but spills his drink on it. When it doesn't work he panics and runs off.
Max is wandering through Rustboro, wondering what he should tell May when he comes across a group of kids surrounding an inventor. The inventor starts to show off his wrestler shaped can opener, but when it eventually opens the can it sprays the contents into his face. The rest of the kids walk off, and the inventor asks Max what he is doing, and when Max tells him, says that he may not have to tell May anything at all, telling him about the Devon Corporation. Suddenly a limo pulls up nearby, and Kennedy jumps out and chases after the inventor, who has run off. Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash is showing off his Badge to Professor Oak and telling him that Pikachu has learned Iron Tail. The Professor congratulates them both before hanging up. At that point Brock arrives, saying that he is done with his shopping. May is lying on a bench nearby, with Brock guessing that she has shopped until she dropped. However, when they decide that they will miss the boat because Max isn't back yet, she races off to do more shopping before anyone can stop her.
Max approaches the Devon building, wondering at how big it is, and then runs up the steps towards it. Then, Team Rocket walk up to the steps, and discuss their plan to steal everything and give it to the Boss. Inside the building, the receptionist tells Max that they don't handle repairs. At that point, Officer Jenny walks up to the receptionist, before the inventor and Kennedy approach her. Max eavesdrops on their conversation from behind a pillar. Jenny tells them that there has been a plan to infiltrate the building, and they should double check security until they find out more. The inventor then looks around sneakily, before racing off to the pillar where Max is hiding, and surprising him from behind. He covers Max's mouth and he tells Max to follow him.
The two are walking along a corridor when the inventor asks to see the PokéNav. He then leads Max to a room where there are a few people working with some equipment. He tells them not to let Kennedy know they are here, and then asks them to repair the PokéNav. One of them then addresses him as "Mr. President", surprising Max. He then leads Max through another corridor, explaining that he likes to get out of his office and wander around the city to get inspiration for new devices. He then gives Max a tour of the building, showing him some new devices. Max excitedly asks if he can use some of them, but is told that they don't work yet. Finally he is shown their Fossil restoration device, which still doesn't work. In yet another corridor, Max tells the President that he wants to be a Gym Leader one day, but their conversation is interrupted by Kennedy, who tells him that he should be back in his office, as he has some appointments. The President suggests that Kennedy should go to the Pokémon Center and get the rest of the group.
Outside, Team Rocket survey security, and decide that they will need a disguise, so they put on lab coats. While looking at a machine, which is described as temperamental, the President stops, and leads Max after one of the scientists, saying he doesn't recognize him, something he makes a point of doing. In reception, Kennedy leads the group to the President's office, and Team Rocket are stopped by Officer Jenny, who wants to see their ID cards. Back in the corridors, the scientist looks around sneakily, before going through a door. Max and the President decide to follow. Meanwhile, Kennedy is explaining to the group that maybe Max reminded the President of his son, Steven. When they enter the lab where Max was moments ago, the scientists tell them that two important parts of the Fossil restoration machine are missing.
While following the thief up some metal stairs outside, Max slips and hurts himself, alerting the thief to their presence, making him run away. The President then contacts Kennedy and tells him what is going on, and the group follow Kennedy through a shortcut so that they can corner the thief on the roof. In reception, Jessie and James are trying to explain why they don't have ID cards, saying that Meowth ate them. An announcement is then made over the P.A. system, saying that there has been a theft, and the suspect is wearing a white lab coat and sunglasses. Upon hearing this, Team Rocket remove their disguises and are chased by Officer Jenny.
The thief runs out onto the roof, but is blocked by Ash, May and Brock. Max and the president then come up behind him. He sends out his Crawdaunt, which Ash scans on his Pokédex. Pikachu attacks with Quick Attack, but Crawdaunt retaliates with Crabhammer. Team Rocket then burst onto the roof and perform their motto. The thief then tells Crawdaunt to use Bubble Beam, before returning it, and grabs a rocket propelled glider stowed on the roof. However, before he can get away, Team Rocket decide that they want whatever it is he stole, and jump, grabbing onto him and making him lose control slightly. Meowth then fishes around in his pockets, finding the parts he stole just before the rocket starts to fail. Meowth drops the parts and Max catches them. Before Team Rocket lets go, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off. Max shows everyone that he saved the capsules, and Jenny says that since he was using a Crawdaunt, the thief was most likely from Team Aqua, before explaining about Team Aqua and Team Magma.
A police search of the city that night reveals a lab coat and a crashed glider. The group and the President are having dinner at a restaurant, when the President tells them that his son is on Dewford Island. May then asks Max for the PokéNav, as she wants to look something up on it, and Max initially panics, before the President taps his knee with it secretly, and he takes it from him, which Pikachu, who is sitting under the table, notices, and then gives it to May.
Major events
- Ash and his friends learn about Team Aqua and Team Magma, and have their first encounter with the former.
- Ash learns that Steven Stone is on Dewford Island, and that the second Gym in Hoenn is located there.
- For a list of all major events in the anime, please see the timeline of events.
Pokémon debuts
- Pikachu (Ash's)
- Meowth (Team Rocket)
- Wobbuffet (Jessie's)
- Crawdaunt (Team Aqua Grunt's; debut)
- The dub title is a pun on the song title "Stairway to Heaven" by the popular British rock band Led Zeppelin.
- Mr. Stone states that one of the machines his corporation is working on is a Dream Visualizer. This might have led to the idea for the Dream World introduced in Pokémon Black and White.
- Several times throughout the episode, Max states that the PokéNav belongs to May, but it is in fact his.
Dub edits
- Jessie's skirt is lengthened for appropriate viewing for the audiences outside of Japan. The scene in question was when Team Rocket gets off the floor after Crawdaunt uses Bubble Beam.
- In the Kids' WB! version of this episode and first two North American home video releases, the Poké Ball design on Ash's Badge case is painted over and replaced with rectangles. This edit occurs every time Ash's Badge case appears in the Hoenn saga, though it initially did not happen in international airings. This also does not occur in the 2017 North American home video release, Cartoon Network and Boomerang airings, Australian home video releases, Pokémon TV and digital home video releases.

Memphis City Council member Jim Strickland is floating the idea of a Memphis Redbirds ticket surcharge to guarantee a more consistent flow of revenues to pay off the debt from the city's proposed purchase of AutoZone Park.
Strickland floated the idea in a Thursday, Dec. 19, open letter to constituents, mentioning that a similar surcharge of $1.15 is added to all tickets sold at FedExForum to help pay the debt service from construction of the arena.
Strickland has questioned why the ballpark deal couldn't follow the financing model of FedExForum.
"I believe keeping the Redbirds in town as a Cardinal AAA franchise is important to the city," Strickland wrote. "I also believe that spending hundreds of thousands of dollars from the city's budget to do so is not the best option."
The general dollar amount is what's needed beyond sales tax revenue that would pay the majority of the $25 million in debt the administration wants to take out to pay for the deal.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. delayed any City Council vote on the terms of a deal until the council's Jan. 7 session. The council twice delayed a decision, and council members were critical of the specifics of the deal.

Boston-based Affiliated Managers Group Inc. has bought a majority equity interest in Memphis-based investment management firm SouthernSun Asset Management LLC.
SouthernSun, which has about $5 billion in assets under management, was founded in 1989. Founder, CEO and chief investment officer Michael Cook Sr. said SouthernSun will remain autonomous and continue to rely on its own approach to investment management.
Also, the partnership will facilitate equity transfers over time to the next generation of partners at SouthernSun, Cook said.

First Alliance Bank and Radian Partners LLC have agreed to form a strategic alliance to provide customers of both firms with access to the financial expertise and capabilities of the other.
Memphis-based First Alliance Bank is a 14-year-old locally owned and operated state-chartered bank with four branches in Memphis, Cordova and Oakland. Ten-year-old Radian Partners is a regional wealth management firm with offices in Franklin, Memphis and Union City.
Tennessee's unemployment rate for November was 8.1 percent, four-tenths of one percentage point lower than the previous month.
Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips said the October to November rate change is the largest monthly decline since April 2010.
The national unemployment rate for November was 7 percent.
State figures show that nonfarm employment increased by 9,400 jobs from October to November.

The U.S. economy grew at a solid 4.1 percent annual rate from July through September, the fastest pace since late 2011 and significantly higher than previously believed. Much of the upward revision came from stronger consumer spending.
The Commerce Department's final look at growth in the summer was up from a previous estimate of 3.6 percent. Four-fifths of the revision came from stronger consumer spending, primarily in the area of health care. The 4.1 percent third quarter growth rate came after the economy expanded at a 2.5 percent rate in the second quarter. Much of the acceleration reflected a buildup in business stockpiles.
Economists expect growth has slowed to between 2 percent and 2.5 percent in the current quarter, in part because they believe inventory growth has slowed.
The third quarter rise in the gross domestic product, the economy's total output of goods and services, was the best performance since a 4.9 percent increase in the final three months of 2011.
Still, analysts expect that for the year, the GDP will only expand by around 1.7 percent, down from the 2.8 percent growth of 2012. Much of that drop-off occurred because consumer spending was depressed by higher taxes that took effect last January and the government's across-the-board spending cuts. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated those two factors shaved 1.5 percentage points from growth in 2013.
The Senate has cleared the way for Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as head of the Federal Reserve.
Senators voted 59-34 Friday to end debate on the president's nomination of Yellen. Approval is expected Jan. 6, the day the Senate returns from winter recess.
The 67-year-old Yellen will become the first woman to lead the Fed in its century-old history. She will also be the first Democrat to lead the Fed since Paul Volcker left in 1987.
Yellen is currently vice chair of the Fed.
Bernanke told reporters that Yellen supported the Fed's decision this week to gradually reduce the monthly bond purchases the Fed has been making to goose the economy.
Walgreen's fiscal first-quarter earnings soared 68 percent as investments in other companies paid off for the nation's largest drugstore chain, but a slowdown in generic drug introductions helped squeeze profitability.
The Deerfield Ill., company said Friday that it booked a total of $376 million in income during the quarter that ended Nov. 30 from its stakes in European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots and U.S. pharmaceutical wholesaler AmerisourceBergen Corp.
Last year, Walgreen Co. acquired a 45 percent stake in Alliance Boots, which runs the largest drugstore chain in the United Kingdom, and it has an option to buy the rest of the company in 2015. Earlier this year, it also bought an ownership stake in AmerisourceBergen and entered a supply agreement with the company.

News from the world of Maths
Sometimes people are nasty when it would have been better to be nice.
Professor John Barrow, director of the Millennium Mathematics Project (the home of Plus), wins the IMA-LMS Christopher Zeeman Medal for his work promoting mathematics to the public.
How would it feel to look in a mirror and see not your own reflection but instead how you would look as the opposite sex? You can explore this strange alternate reality at this year's Royal Society Summer Exhibition where scientists from Queen Mary, University of London and University College London will use mathematical wizardry to produce gender reversed images of faces.
Plus has teamed up with the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2011 to reveal the maths behind some of the science on show. We have chosen two exhibits from this year's participants and produced postcards for people to pick up at the stand, accopmanied by Plus articles to reveal some of the the maths behind them. Read the articles and if you can't make it to the exhibition yourself, you can also download pdfs of the postcards.
Airport security staff have a daunting task. With impatient queues looming over them they need to search x-ray scans of cluttered suitcases for several items at once: knives, guns and bombs. How can we ease their task and make sure they don't miss a crucial item? To find out, scientists are trying to understand how we humans take in visual information. The humble triangle plays a crucial role in the experiments they perform.
A Rubik's cube, you'll be pleased to hear, can always be solved in at most 20 moves, no matter how badly it was scrambled up to start with. Mathematicians have proved that that's true. But what if you're wrestling with a larger cube that has more than three little cubes in a row?
We often think of mathematics as a language, but does our brain process mathematical structures in the same way as it processes language? A new study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests that it does: the process of storing and reusing syntax "works across cognitive domains."

The second report was received by OKDHS on December 7, 2010, at 3:30 p.m.
Reportedly, Christian had been ill and vomited the previous night. The report
documented he was finally able to keep juice down in his stomach. Christian and his
mother took a nap in the mother's bed. The mother's boyfriend who was a jailer for the
sheriff's office came home and went to sleep on the couch in the living room.
Reportedly, the mother's boyfriend Joshua woke up and checked on the mother and
Christian. Joshua observed a small trail of blood from Christian's mouth. Joshua
turned Christian over and vomit came out of his mouth. It was documented at that time
it was believed that Christian asphyxiated on his own vomit.
The OKDHS accepted this report as a Priority I investigation. The OKDHS made timely
contact with the victim, siblings, mother, and biological father. The OKDHS
documented that while the mother was at the store Christian Norris and Sibling 2 were
left in the care of her live-in boyfriend Joshua Benton.
The OKDHS made a finding of Substantiated - Services Recommended on allegations
of Physical Abuse against Joshua Benton. The OKDHS made a finding of

OKDHS was notified that the biological mother gave birth to a healthy baby on April 18,
2011. Reportedly, the baby weighed over eight pounds. The baby was born at home
through a mid-wife and had been scheduled for a well-baby check. The mother's child,

contact with the victim, siblings, mother, and biological father. The biological father

Report of Autopsy (May 26, 2011)
On May 26, 2011, the State Medical Examiner's office made a finding of Probable
Cause of Death as Complications of Lumbar Spine Fracture due to Blunt Force Trauma.
The manner of death was classified as Homicide. The report by the Medical Examiner's
office in part stated:
This 3 year old boy (DOB: June 18, 2007) was found unresponsive in bed
by his mother. He was transported to [a metropolitan hospital] where he
was pronounced dead following resuscitation efforts on December 7, 2010
at 1507 hours. He had reportedly been sick on and off with flu-like
systems for the past week. He reportedly had fevers and vomiting and
was unable to hold anything down.
Medical Examiner Opinion
Death of this child was due to complications of a lumbar spine fracture.
Subsequent to this examination, it was revealed that a boyfriend had
confessed to hyperextending the child's back while in the bathtub the day
before the death. This is consistent with the injury seen at autopsy. The
manner of death is classified as homicide.

OKDHS was notified that Christian's mother brought a four-year-old child; (sibling II) into
the emergency room and the child was extremely malnourished. This was the fifth time
the child had been in the emergency room this year. The child weighed 24.5 pounds
and was 43 inches tall. The child's blood sugar was 41 and the child was placed on an
IV. Reportedly, the child had not eaten in two days and had been vomiting intermittently
for approximately two months. The child also had a high white blood cell count.
The OKDHS accepted the report as a Priority I report. The OKDHS made timely
contact with the victim, siblings, mother, and an attempted contact with the biological
father who refused to be interviewed. The OKDHS consulted with many doctors and
determined the child was being cared for appropriately and had an infection that had
been causing the illness. The OKDHS documented the child's weight was 35 pounds.
The OKDHS made a finding of Ruled Out.

First starting in Scorched earth after the downfall of my Center server I brought my lvl 191 parasaur with me. Finally found a base location and as I run to grab water what happens? Gator grabs me,destroys me. Level 125. Needless to say I ran back to get my bag and get the saddle off my parasaur, but as I arrive what do I see?! My bloody parasaur with the Sun behind him, Sun glistening off the blood as he stands victorious over the gator guarding my bag, and waiting for me. Moral of the story, Parasaur is life.

Honestly, the parasaur is one of the best games in this game, not to mention it is a low level and easy tame to start off with. It will carry you from birth to death in this game, I highly recommend. Plus, only upgrade movement speed, trust me it's the best way.

Official website of the Department of Homeland Security
WASHINGTON—U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Deputy Commissioner David V. Aguilar announced today the expansion of the Centers of Excellence and Expertise (CEE), which will create six new centers in 2013 for the Agriculture & Prepared Products; Apparel, Footwear & Textiles; Base Metals; Consumer Products & Mass Merchandising; Industrial & Manufacturing Materials; and Machinery industries.
"Centers of Excellence and Expertise are not only the centerpiece of our trade process transformation, they already are increasing our capacity," said Deputy Commissioner David V. Aguilar. "This expansion will empower CBP to more effectively partner with industry to facilitate international trade through U.S. ports of entry."
The centers that are to be established in FY 2013 are:
2. Apparel, Footwear & Textiles: San Francisco
3. Base Metals: Chicago
4. Consumer Products & Mass Merchandising: Atlanta
5. Industrial & Manufacturing Materials: Buffalo
6. Machinery: Laredo
These virtual centers will provide one-stop processing to lower the Trade's cost of business, provide greater consistency and predictability and enhance CBP enforcement efforts. The Centers represent CBP's expanded focus on "Trade in the 21st Century," transforming customs procedures to align with modern business. The CEEs will also serve as resources to the broader trade community and to CBP's U.S. government partners.
CBP currently operates centers for Electronics in Long Beach; Pharmaceuticals, Health & Chemicals in New York City; Automotive & Aerospace in Detroit; and Petroleum, Natural Gas & Minerals in Houston.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry.
