A Ruin with a View (Japanese: 古代ポケモンと謎の軍団! Ancient Pokémon and Mysterious Teams!) is the second episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 276th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 28, 2002 and in United States on March 15, 2003 as part of a special preview. It was later broadcast in sequence in the United States on November 8, 2003.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Now that Pikachu is feeling better, Ash is ready to head to Oldale Town to sign up for the Hoenn League. May has offered to show Ash the way in exchange for his company to Oldale Town—which is only fair, seeing as Pikachu destroyed May's bike when it was sick! In Oldale Town, May visits her first Pokémon Center and is amazed with all of its services, and by the ancient ruins next door. Things quickly turn sour when Team Magma, a mysterious band of criminals, shut down the electricity at the Pokémon Center and kidnap Professor Alden in order to invade the ruins. With no electricity, all of the Pokémon are in danger—including May's Torchic. It's up to Ash and May to save the day—and in doing so they uncover mysterious, ancient Pokémon.
Ash and May are walking down Route 101 on their way to Oldale Town. May is already tired, and Ash comments that she's slow. Then May snaps back about her bike. They continue on anyway to the next town. When May asks why Ash doesn't keep Pikachu in a Poké Ball, Ash simply says it's because Pikachu's his best friend. May wonders if she should do that with Torchic, but Ash suggests maybe looking it up in her Pokédex. She gets it out and tries searching for Torchic, but on the road is an Azurill. May wants to catch it, so she tries just tossing a Poké Ball and snags the Azurill, but the ball breaks open. May doesn't know what's going on, but Ash explains that she needs to battle the Azurill and wear it down before she can catch it.
May sends out her Torchic to battle. While she was thinking about Torchic's attacks, Azurill runs with Torchic tagging behind. Azurill manages to get Torchic to run into a tree, May goes over to see if it's alright. The Azurill still wants to fight, Torchic chases after it again. May then says to use Peck. Torchic goes full speed at the Azurill, but the Azurill dodges, leaving Torchic pecking another tree. May says to Torchic that it missed, so Torchic finds and chases the Normal-type Pokémon. Finally, Azurill makes Torchic slam into a rock. Torchic is down, but not out, and manages to chase the Azurill into some bushes. Torchic fires an Ember attack, and everyone goes to see what happened. On the other side is a very angry Azurill, along with a burnt, but very mad Azumarill and Marill. They all simultaneously spray Water Gun at Torchic, knocking it out in one shot. Ash scares them off by having Pikachu land a Thunderbolt near them. Then the water trio escape into a pond.
May checks on Torchic, who doesn't look so good. Ash says that the next town has a Pokémon Center, so they should hurry there. While they run the rest of the route, May hopes that her Torchic will make it. Along the way the come across a ruin on top of a hill. They go up on top to check out the place when an archaeologist goes up to them. Ash asks if he knows the way to the nearest Pokémon Center. The archaeologist points out to the distance, saying it's just down the road. The two thank him and head on down.
At the Pokémon Center, May gives Torchic to Nurse Joy and hopes for the best. Joy says Torchic is okay, but it'll take overnight to restore it. Afterwards, Ash decides to make a call to Professor Oak to tell him where he is and all. During the conversation though, May butts in, after all, it is the famous Professor Oak. After the phone call, May pressures Ash to show her around the Pokémon Center. Ash first shows her the rooms that they get to stay in, then the Trainer lobby. Ash overhears a conversation about the Petalburg City Gym Leader and he wants to know what the Gym Leaders are like. But May snaps at Ash, then says that she's hungry and wants to go to the restaurant.
Later outside in a telephone booth, Team Rocket calls up Giovanni. They tell him that they're in Hoenn, that could mean more opportunities for them. Giovanni isn't too thrilled, since it's the trio who screw up the most. However, Giovanni reconsiders, and since maybe they could take care of Team Magma, he's willing to give them a shot. After he hangs up, he smiles at the thought that they are just in one more area to terrorize.
The two start their meals, May comments how good the food is. May's really excited now, seeing how this is what Trainers get. The archaeologist from before happens to be at the restaurant and asks if he could sit down with them. The two don't mind, in fact maybe they could get some info on the ruins. Just outside the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket is digging a hole. They work hard at it knowing they can get Pikachu if they can just get this done right.
It looks like the archaeologist, whose name is Professor Alden, has his own office in the Center. He tells them about the Oldale Ruins and how according to legend there are ancient Pokémon to be found there. He notes that there may even be some still alive. Just outside, a Team Magma member spies on them using special goggles. He reports everything is a go and the rest of the group moves in. Back inside, the electricity goes out all of a sudden and then a few Team Magma members with their Houndoom come in. Joy walks by going into the room, but she's caught from behind by another Magma member. One of the members says that they need access to the ruins, and if Professor Alden doesn't comply, they'll do something to the others. He has no choice but to give in.
Team Rocket on the other hand dig up, but only find themselves still outside. And one thing that's not good is that they are surrounded by Magma members! They don't give up that easily and send out their Pokémon. However, Team Magma's Houndoom use Roar, sending the Pokémon back into their balls. With that, Team Rocket runs off.
The gang and Joy are thrown into the storage room. Locked in, they try to find a way out and help Professor Alden before anything goes wrong. Pikachu finds a vent, and they can escape from there. Joy tells them to find the master key and get everything back up if they can.
Back in the ruins, the Magma members continue to pin down Professor Alden with threats, and eventually tells him what to do. They give him a box with four colored orbs, and he knows what to do. Professor Alden puts each on in a wall of one building and it moves, opening the path to a room. The Magma members go in a take pictures. But nothing's interesting here, just a bunch of a drawings on the wall. The leader says they're out of time and it's time to head out.
Ash and Pikachu go inside the vent to try to find the way out. Along the way, May stops them, she wants to come along as well. They go on until they find a split, and they are unsure where to go. Pikachu uses his ears to try to find the way out, and finds it. They follow Pikachu and find a grate where they can escape. Ash kicks down the grate and apparently they aren't too far from the counter. Ash goes up to find the master key while May turns the power back on. Ash goes back and frees nurse Joy, now to find Professor Alden.
They get to the ruins just moments before Team Magma makes their escape on a helicopter, it looks like they're too late for them. They find Professor Alden unharmed fortunately. They ask him what happened and if everything is alright. He says everything's okay, nothing to worry about. Team Rocket behind a rock managed to snag the four orbs, and everything goes well until Wobbuffet makes a big scene. The gang notices them and Professor Alden notices they have the orbs. Jessie quickly sends out Arbok, but Ash tells Pikachu to use Quick Attack and soon enough Pikachu's attack hits Arbok and knocks the orbs away from Team Rocket. Finally Pikachu finishes them off with a Thunderbolt and sends Team Rocket flying off once again.
Professor Alden recovers the orbs and they all head inside the room. He places the orbs back into the wall/door and soon it glows. The light trails around through lines in the room. The giant block moves, revealing stairs that lead down. They go down and find an underground lake. Soon enough a Relicanth jumps out of the water and they see that the lake is full of them. Satisfied, Professor Alden thanks the two for their work.
Back in the Pokémon Center, Joy gives May her Torchic back, who's all better. May sends out Torchic, who jumps up to May happily. Now it's off to the next town and another adventure.

- The stone tablet that Professor Alden possesses in this episode is very similar to a stone tablet containing the legend of Pokémopolis, which appears in The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis exactly four years previous.
- One of the doors in the ruins appears similar to the sealed door in the ruins of the King of Pokélantis' tomb in Battling the Enemy Within!, which aired almost four years later.
- This episode is therefore at the midpoint between the two episodes featuring the ancient civilizations Pokémopolis and Pokélantis. In addition, it contains elements from both those episodes.
- Max and Norman are both mentioned, though not by name: May tells Professor Oak that her brother never misses one of his Pokémon lectures while some Trainers discuss the Petalburg Gym having a new leader.
- The four treasures are the same colors as the versions of the four original Japanese games and are arranged in a style similar to the placement of the Poké Balls on the pedestal in Oak's lab when Ash got his Pikachu.
- The order the four were placed were similar to the making of the games in Japan, first red then green, then blue and yellow.
- Pikachu's fondness of ketchup is shown again when Ash and May were eating dinner.
- The dub title of this episode is a reference to the phrase "a room with a view." A later episode has a similar title.
- In "Who's That Pokémon?" the fact given for Crobat is "Evolution gave this Pokémon wings where it had legs!" Although it is mentioned in Pokédex entries that a Golbat's legs become the second pair of wings on a Crobat, Crobat does in fact have small feet.
- This episode aired dubbed the shortest time after the original of any 4Kids-dubbed episode, with only 107 days separating the airings.
- The Brazilian title for this episode is a translation for a later episode in the English dub: Gateway to Ruin!.
- May's Pokédex refers to Azurill as the Water Ball Pokémon, when its official classification is the Polka Dot Pokémon. This was most likely a translation error as 水玉 mizutama, Japanese for "polka dot", can also mean "water ball".
- While being shown around the Pokémon Center, the logo on May's bandanna disappears for a short time.
Dub edits
- There is a three-second shot of Jessie performing an akanbe, which involves pulling her eyelid down and sticking out her tongue at the same time, a common insult in Japan. Like in Bound for Trouble and The Bicker the Better, this was cut from the dub. However, other episodes featuring akanbe before and after this and AG072 had no such edits.

If only a robot could be more like a cockroach
Studies have indicated that insects rely on their brains to respond to what they feel and see. But for the first time, researchers have shown a direct link between neurons at the center of an insect brain and changes in behavior. The findings and a video are published online in Current Biology at noon U.S. eastern time May 6.
A team led by Roy Ritzmann, Case Western Reserve University biology professor, recorded neural activity in the central complex of walking cockroaches - that in itself is a painstaking first.
They found that in the same area of the brain where visual, chemical and tactile information from the world outside is processed, the firing of neurons is correlated to the insect's stepping rate. That is, cockroaches walk or run when their brains decide to do so.
So what? Well, what if robots could do as much?
"Robots were sent into the World Trade Center after 911," Ritzmann said. "By the time the driver would see an obstacle, they were stuck."
"We see in these animals an ability to adapt to difficult and changing terrain and conditions," he continued. "What we'd like to see is a robotic brain that can make these kinds of decisions."
He believes the research could help lead to better robots to search collapsed mines and buildings, to pilot drones, and for space exploration, where signals from Earth to a far off planet takes minutes, hours or longer.
So, to make a robot that can turn, back up, climb over or burrow under and obstacle without the guidance of a far off rescue worker using computer controls, what could be better than mimicking an insect's comparatively simple brain?
Easier said than done. To get these first recordings of neural activity, Research Assistant Allan Pollack spent more than a year perfecting techniques to perform brain surgery in an area the size of the head of a pin.
After delicately cutting through the brain sheath and exposing the central complex, he inserted a hair-thin braid of four wires that can monitor activity of groups of neurons or stimulate the groups with electricity.
With the braid implanted, cockroaches were tethered over the simplest version of a treadmill: a greased glass plate. The researchers waited, sometimes for three hours or more, for a cockroach to begin walking, and to change speeds, all without prodding.
"We wanted to study the cockroach when it wants to move," Ritzmann said.
The researchers filmed the insects walking in place while recording groups of neurons firing. A clip can be seen at http://www.cell.com/current-biology/home.
John Bender, a postdoctoral research associate, crunched the raw data. He found that when he graphed the sums of the insects' step rates and sums of the neural firing, they produce a similar pattern. The steps come about 450 milliseconds after the neural firing.
To test whether neural activity is more than coincidental to stepping, the researchers used electrical stimulation to make the neurons fire. In some, the step followed about 450 milliseconds later.
"This is a breakthrough on a number of different levels," said Sasha Zill, a professor of anatomy and pathology at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshal University. Zill, who studies how the nervous system generates movement, and is familiar with this research, said, "It was a real accomplishment to record the neural activity of walking. The interesting finding is the cockroach can control speed with the brain."
Zill explained research shows animals from humans to - now, cockroaches - walk by sending a signal from the brain down to a part of the spinal cord or the equivalent, which generates a pattern of signals that direct the orderly contraction of muscles needed for each step.
To take a closer look at what's occurring in the cockroach brain to initiate and speed stepping, Ritzmann, Pollack and Bender plan next to record changes within individual neural cells.

"Comparing Cities should be a warning to future editors of volumes that readers require more than just a number of articles thrown together in one book to make it a worthy and coherent read." (p.672)
Well, I an dubious about whether the poor quality of any single edited volume will serve as a warning for future volume editors. If so, the genre of poor edited volume would not still be flourishing.
- Why are so many edited volumes worthless?
- Buried in an edited volume.
- Sloppy editing of edited volumes.

Press PhotosJanuary 17, 2004
Because it's getting to the point where I'm beginning to need these, April and I took a walk today armed with my Canon and grabbed a bunch of vanity shots for miscellaneous press purposes. A big nod to Anil Dash for inspiring me to get outside for this.
A bit squinty since I was looking into the sun, but it'll do. Thanks to Vancouver's return to normal temperatures, we caught a bit of snow on the hills without having to wade through it on the ground. We took this on the Granville Street Bridge, if you're curious. There's a much higher-resolution version kicking around elsewhere on the site if you know where to look, but I'd rather not link a 600k download off this page. Use your head, you'll find it if you're really interested.
The rules of press photos, according to someone who knows nothing about them:
- Be creative. A headshot against a wall is as vanilla as they get.
- Be spontaneous. Take a bunch of shots in various locations. Get any pose/location you think might work. Try a few variations.
- Keep shooting. We spent ten minutes on the bridge and have about 30 shots to choose from, which was narrowed down to four, which finally settled onto one. Even this ain't perfect, but 30 is enough.
- Plan ahead. If you think you might need a press photo in the future, chances are you'll need it sooner than you expect. I wish I had this one a few months ago.
- Keep it fresh. You're a person, you change over time. A new shot every six months or year is an easy way to stay interesting.
- Pre-process it yourself. Don't rely on the publisher/designer to crop, adjust, or apply any form of fixing. Send a photo you're happy with, and you won't have reason to complain when they publish it as-is.
- Don't go overboard. Stay well short of this, and you're probably doing alright.

DMV Investigators Make Major Disabled Placard Application Bust
Operation Blue Zone Catches Three Fraudulent Placard Applicants
SACRAMENTO - The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced today the arrest of three suspects in connection with illegal activity associated with the Disabled Person Placard (DPP) application process. On Saturday, July 12, 2014, Qiaoyun Chen, 50 years old, and Guobin Qin, 29 years old, were arrested at their homes in San Francisco. The San Francisco District Attorney's office charged the suspects with four felonies including filing false information with a state agency, perjury, commercial burglary, and forgery. The third suspect, Yessi Morales, 35 years old from San Francisco, was arrested on July 3, 2014 during a traffic stop by the San Francisco Police Department, she is charged with 24 felony counts.
"The DMV is stepping up Disabled Placard enforcement in a different, more aggressive way by catching the perpetrators at the beginning stages," said DMV Director Jean Shiomoto. "Operation Blue Zone has been very successful in catching fraud placard applications in the Bay Area."
The San Francisco District DMV Investigations Office started the Operation Blue Zone (OBZ) investigation in February 2014 after receiving a large number of DPP applications that were flagged by DMV field office staff as being allegedly fraudulent. Flag triggers included suspected forged doctor's signatures, similar applicant and doctor hand-writing, frequent applications being submitted by the same doctor, and suspected false medical diagnosis. These alleged fraud applications began increasing in numbers in late 2013 and the beginning of 2014, with the majority of the placard recipients living or working in San Francisco. The suspected fraud applications were submitted in several DMV field offices with the majority submitted to the San Mateo DMV field office.
"The crimes related to submitting a fraudulent application as opposed to catching someone on the street misusing a DPP for parking is quite different," said DMV Supervising Investigator Calvin Woo. "Parking misuse violations are typically local ordinance infractions or vehicle code misdemeanors where the abuser ends up with a hefty fine. Fraud DPP application violations are felonies."
All three suspects could face up to four years in prison. Morales has been freed on $60,000 bail, and Qin and Chen were released after posting $30,000 bail apiece.
If you believe that someone has been issued a Disabled Person Placard in error or suspect placard misuse, we urge you to contact your local DMV Investigations office and submit a written complaint. The complaint can be anonymous. Please be aware that some qualifying disabilities are not visually apparent and allegations of misuse may be unfounded. The department considers crimes relating to disabled placards very serious and every complaint of this nature will be reviewed. Complaint forms can be found on the DMV public website www.dmv.ca.gov under the search key words "Record of Complaint," or under form INV172A - Record of Complaint form. You may also obtain a complaint form from your local DMV field office.

Premier League: Tottenham's Gareth Bale shuns praise after West Ham win
Gareth Bale did not want to take the personal glory after his wonder strike earned Tottenham a late win at West Ham.
Last Updated: 26/02/13 8:11am
The Welshman, currently the outstanding British talent, struck a long-range effort in injury time at Upton Park to secure a 3-2 victory and move Spurs third in the Premier League.
It was a stunning goal and, having also opened the scoring in the first half, it was Bale's 23rd of the season in all competitions for club and country in what is a fabulous campaign.
Some pundits have suggested the 23-year-old is almost singlehandedly dragging Tottenham back towards the Champions League but he told Sky Sports: "I am just enjoying my football. That is the most important thing.
"The team is playing well, which makes it easier. It is not about me, it is about the team. We played well tonight."
Bale had opened the scoring against West Ham in the 13th minute before Andy Carroll equalised from the penalty spot before half-time.
Joe Cole then put West Ham in front in the second half but Gylfi Sigurdsson equalised before Bale struck his superb, late winner to allow Spurs to overtake Chelsea.
The result sets Tottenham up perfectly for next weekend's North London derby against Arsenal, who are also top-four rivals as they sit four points behind in fifth place.
"We know it is going to be a massive game," said Bale. "They are a great team and we obviously want to get the three points and keep our Champions League hopes alive."

Family Therapy is a therapeutic discipline that addresses intervention and treatment of the family as a whole. From the systemic point of view, the term is often used marital and family therapy, as it is understood that the object of intervention are family systems and subsystems. Family therapy can be developed from different fields, such as psychotherapy (supervised only by psychologists and psychiatrists), the psychoeducational or educational therapy, based on behavioral change through values education and improvement of relationship skills (exercised both by psychologists and social workers, mediators, social workers, etc..) or experiential coaching.
There are different streams within systemic family therapy, such as the School of Milan, School of Palo Alto, or the Argentine psychiatrist Salvador Minuchin, who developed the structuralist approaches work with families (roles, communication , etc..), and that is one of the currents applied to social work with families with low incomes.

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
Whether you know us from earlier visits or have reached us now by chance, I hope you will enjoy this opportunity to experience our exhibitions, collections, and programs, and to find out more about us. Our Museum was founded in 1965 and has, in a remarkably short period of time, become Israel's leading cultural institution and one of the leading encyclopedic museums of the world. We hope that our website reflects some sense of the scope and quality of our collections, nearly 500,000 objects of fine art, archaeology, Judaica and Jewish ethnography, representing the history of world culture from nearly one million years ago to the present day.
On July 26, 2010 we inaugurated the Museum's renewed and expanded campus. Designed by James Carpenter Design Associates, New York, and Efrat-Kowalsky Architects, Tel Aviv, the transformed campus now features new entrance pavilions; expanded and reorganized galleries; and a comprehensive reinstallation of our encyclopedic holdings in all three of our curatorial wings – Archaeology, Jewish Art and Life, and the Fine Arts. Watching this momentous undertaking – the most extensive since the opening of the Museum in 1965 – come to fruition has been nothing less than gratifying for all of us, and its success is a tribute to the commitment and energy of the entire Museum community.
We have welcomed more than 1 million visitors from Israel and around the world to our beautifully renewed campus since the inauguration, and take great pleasure in sharing with you our full and rich program of exhibitions, special events, and activities.
We are delighted by the growing number of friends of the Israel Museum who have become 'virtual' visitors to our website. However, when our 'virtual' friends become real visitors to us in Jerusalem, we know that our website has served its true purpose. On behalf of our Board and staff, I am pleased to welcome you to the Museum for this electronic visit and also to invite you to visit us in person, through our 'non-virtual' door.
Thank you for your continuing participation and support.
James S. Snyder
Anne and Jerome Fisher Director

OPENING KICKOFF: Today's non-conference marks the 17th meeting between McDaniel (0-0) and Catholic (0-0) in a series that dates back to 1912. The Green Terror leads the all-time series 12-4, including a 24-14 victory last season in Washington, D.C. The Cardinals had made it back-to-back wins in the series for the first time prior to two straight McDaniel victories.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Chris Kolb helped the Green Terror to a 3-0 record with three interceptions, three pass breakups and three tackles in a 24-14 non-conference win at Catholic last season. McDaniel had its most complete offensive day of the season to that point to help the stalwart defense, rolling up a 312 yards of offense behind Tom Massucci's (Seneca, N.J./Tabernacle) sixth career 200-yard passing game. Massucci completed 21 of 32 passes for 235 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
LAST TIME OUT: McDaniel completed a 5-5 season in 2010 with a 34-10 loss at Johns Hopkins. Hewitt Tomlin completed 23 of 37 passes for 340 yards – his eighth career 300-yard passing game – to lead the Blue Jays to a share of the Centennial Conference (CC) crown. Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) led the Green Terror on offense with 63 yards rushing. Matt Cahill finished his career with a 5-catch, 54-yard afternoon to become the third player in program history with 2,000 yards receiving. Cahill completed his career with a program-record 156 receptions and 2,004 yards.
WITH HONORS: McDaniel returns two of its five All-CC players from a year ago. Sam Cox (Towson, Md./Towson), a defensive lineman, was named the first team while Jake Nichols (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) was named as the second-team punter. Chris Kolb was a first-team honoree while Aaron Slaughter and Paul Smith were tabbed honorable mention.
OPENING STATEMENTS: The Green Terror begins its 117th season of football this afternoon, entering play with a 62-48-6 record on opening day. Catholic is McDaniel sixth different opening-day opponent in head coach Tim Keating's 19-year tenure. After a home-and-home series with St. Vincent following a 12-year series with Bridgewater, the Green Terror opened the campaign with conference-foe Juniata last season. The Cardinals mark the fourth different opening-day opponent in five years for McDaniel. Keating is 9-9 in his previous 18 openers.
LEADING THE WAY: Sam Cox, Tom Massucci, Diego Weiner (Miami, Fla./Riverside Military Academy [Ga.]) and Kevin White (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Haverford Twp.) will captain the squad in 2011. The quartet is all first-time captains for the Green Terror. Weiner and White earned the nod as juniors. It marks the first time since 2008 that McDaniel will be led by a completely new group of captains.
SAM, I AM: A third-team All-America selection by d3proday.com, Sam Cox returns for a fifth year to anchor the defensive line. Cox, a two-time all-conference selection including as a first-teamer last year, ranked second in the CC in 2010 with 16.5 tackles for loss. He was also fourth in league in sacks with seven, including six solos. He led the conference with four forced fumbles and was among the conference's top five linemen with 53 total tackles.
MR. 4,000: Now-senior QB Tom Massucci is coming off a down year by comparison to his sophomore campaign – Massucci's first as the starting signal caller. After a 2,000-yard year in 2009 where he completed more than 53 percent of his attempts, Massucci's numbers dipped 1,578 yards passing and a 47.9-percent completion rate in 2010. However with just 17 yards this afternoon, he join Brian Van Deusen (7,239) and Ron Sermarini (7,197) as the only Green Terror quarterbacks to eclipse 4,000 yard passing in a career. At the same time, he will become the 28th CC signal caller to reach the milestone in the 28-year history of the conference.
HE CAN THROW BUT CAN THEY CATCH?: The Green Terror enters the season confident with the man under center. However, a quarterback is only as good as his receivers and McDaniel's corps of wide outs is as experienced as they come. On the entire roster are just 79 career receptions – the Green Terror's top two departed receivers (Matt Cahill and CJ Billera) combined for 81 alone last year. Joe Rollins had 18 catches out of the backfield as a rookie for 145 yards. Woody Butler (Smithsburg, Md./Middletown) caught eight passes in six games last year, four of which went for touchdowns though. Tom Orrok (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant) – the projected starter on one side of the formation – snagged five balls for 57 yards. Nick O'Melia (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key) – the projected starter on the other side – made three catches for 41 yards in his debut campaign.
MULTI-TALENTED: Jake Nichols led the conference in punting last year, averaging 37.7 yards per kick and was named to second-team All-CC. He was also a large part of the reason the Green Terror led the league in kickoff coverage with a net average of 42.4 yards. Nichols averaged 62.5 yards on his 38 kickoffs with just six touchbacks. In the spring, however, he got his first-team all-conference nod when he took gold in the decathlon at the 2011 CC Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Nichols scored a personal-best 5,383 in the 10-part event.
TIME TO KEEP ROLLIN': When the offense takes to the field for the first time this afternoon, sophomore Joe Rollins is expected to make his first career start at tailback. As a rookie, he finished as the team's leading rusher with 623 yards. Of those yards, 481 came in the final three games of his debut campaign, accounting for more than 77 percent of his production in 30 percent of the season. He reeled off his first career 100-yard rushing outing at Franklin & Marshall with 124 yards on Oct. 30. That game included a 48-yard dash to the endzone on the team's first play of the second half to give Rollins his first career touchdown. A week later, he broke out for 294 yards in a triple-overtime victory against Gettysburg in front of the Homecoming crowd for the second-best single-game performance in program history. He capped the season with 63 yards at Johns Hopkins.
SEVEN DWARFS THEY ARE NOT: The Green Terror returns five of its starters from the defensive front seven. In addition to Sam Cox anchoring the line, Bill Gerdes (Freehold, N.J./Colts Neck) and Steve Wetherhold (Catasauqua, Pa./Catasauqua) return to the defensive line. Gerdes had 43 tackles, including 9.0 for loss while Wetherhold had 39 stops, including 6.0 in the backfield. Of Wetherhold's 6.0 tackles for loss were 5.5 sacks for a total lost yardage of 37 yards. Diego Weiner will anchor the middle of the linebacking corps once again off a team-best 74 tackles last year. Zach Martin (Clarksville, Md./River Hill), who was second on the team with 65 stops, will flank him to one side while Michael Cousar (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) is the projected strong-side starter. Tommy Prazenica (Frederick, Md./Frederick), who returns after injury cut his senior year short, has a wealth of experience and can swing as a backup at any of the three positions.
WHITE OUT: As much as the front seven returns intact, the secondary is the complete opposite. Only Kevin White started in 2010. There is some experience among the rest of the secondary but taking on starting jobs will be new to three-quarters of the group. Jerome Hill (Baltimore, Md./Northwestern) saw significant time as White's backup in the early part of the his freshman season and is slated to make a move into the starting spot vacated by now-defensive backs' coach Chris Kolb. Tim McLister (Leesburg, Va./Loudoun) moves into the starting free safety role after significant run as a backup at both safety and corner positions his first two years on the squad. Nick Chuong (Alexandria, Va./Annadale) is slated to round out the starting group at the strong safety position, winning the spot during camp.
HIGH NOON: Today's game is scheduled for a 12 p.m. kickoff, marking the second straight season that McDaniel and Catholic have started at noon. It is the earliest kickoff for a game at Scott S. Bair Stadium in Tim Keating's 19-year tenure. Three of the Green Terror's six home games are slated for a 12 p.m. kickoff, one other will begin at 2 p.m. and the other two will start at 1 p.m.
NEW FACES: McDaniel has added three new coaches to the staff in 2011 and two others have changed positions. Former Towson standout and Baltimore Raven Tony Vinson will roam the sidelines in 2011, charged with mentoring the running backs. That addition has moved Joe Lapkowicz to tight ends but he will also assist offensive coordinator Aaron Bartolain with the quarterbacks. On defense, Matt Hutchings, who spent the last three seasons at Guilford, takes over as outside linebackers coach, shifting Josh Rutter to the inside 'backers. Chris Kolb, who made eight interceptions last year for the Green Terror and earned first-team All-CC accolades, now coaches the position he played well on the Hill – defensive backs.
TERROR TIDBITS: The Green Terror returns six members of its 2010 starting defense but only one of those is in the secondary... This is the earliest McDaniel has opened the season since 2007… The Green Terror is 33-13-3 when opening the season at home, including 4-4 under Tim Keating… McDaniel had eight individuals ranked in the top 100 in the final Division III rankings last year, including Chris Kolb (T-7, interceptions) and Sam Cox (T-25, tackles for loss) in the top 25… Three of the five projected opening-day starters on the offensive line have started double-digit games. Tyler Lloyd (Broad Run, Va./Fauquier) has 11 starts at left tackles, Sean Searfass (Bethlehem, Pa./Freedom) started all 10 games last year at center and Tanner Cannavo (Houston, Del./Sussex) returns after a year off to start at left guard, where he has 10 starts.
COACHES' CORNER: Tim Keating is in his 19th season at the helm of the Green Terror. His 108 victories are the most by any McDaniel coach. Keating enters the season with record of 108-75-3, guiding the program to seven CC championships and a pair of NCAA playoff wins. Before coming to the Hill, Keating notched a 26-23 record in five seasons at Wesley… Dave Dunn is in his sixth season leading Catholic. In his debut campaign, he guided the Cardinals to a 3-7 record. In 2007, Dunn guided Catholic to its first .500 season since 2000 before putting up a 9-2 record in 2008. With a 22-29 record at Catholic, he has a 22-37 career record after serving as the first coach at Becker College in 2005, going 0-8 with the first-year program prior to his arrival in the nation's capital. He has more than 20 years of coaching experience, including time as an assistant at his alma mater University of San Diego, Indiana State, Harvard and Florida Atlantic.
THE WORD ON CATHOLIC: The Cardinals enter the 2011 season off a 4-6 campaign in 2010. Starting with the 24-14 loss to McDaniel on Sept. 18 for its first loss of the season, Catholic dropped four straight games before alternating wins and losses over the final four weeks of the year… Michael Pitsenberger rushed for a team-best 901 yards as a freshman. The rookie accounted for more than three-quarters of the team's 1,166 yards on the ground. He was the team's leading rusher in each game and notched three 100-yard games in his first year… Alonzo Cooke led the receiving corps a year ago with 47 catches for 856 yards as a sophomore… Classmate Greg Cordivari completed 57 percent (195-for-342) of his passes last season for 2,205 yards. He threw for 20 touchdowns – 10 of which went to Cooke – against just 10 interceptions. Three of Cordivari's picks came against McDaniel – all to Chris Kolb… Catholic scored no fewer than 14 points in all 10 games last year. With the exception of a one-touchdown, three-field goal win at Shenandoah to open the season, the Cardinal offense tallied at least two touchdowns in each of the other nine games… Catholic graduated its leading tackler in Christian Pavik, who recorded 71 stops in 2010 but return the rest of its top stoppers on defense… Then-sophomore LB Conor Stueckler notched 48 tackles, including 3.5 for loss. Cole McDonough registered 46 in the secondary while DB Ryan Klein and DL Anthony Albanese had 40 apiece. McDonough and Klein had an interception each.

Last year, BitTorrent Inc. acquired the company that makes uTorrent, one of the most popular BitTorrent clients available on the Windows platform. The next major version of the official BitTorrent client—which is currently in beta—is based on the closed-source uTorrent client rather than the open-source BitTorrent reference implementation.
The decision to distribute a proprietary implementation as the official client has generated controversy in the file-sharing community. Some have expressed concern that new protocol features included only in the proprietary official client will remain hidden from the larger BitTorrent development community, making it difficult for independent software developers to create fully-functional competing BitTorrent clients.
File-sharing news site Slyck recently conducted an interview with BitTorrent, Inc. president Ashwin Navin, who attempted to address some concerns voiced by BitTorrent users. Oddly enough, close scrutiny reveals that Navin's statements—as cited by Slyck—are inconsistent with the information on BitTorrrent, Inc.'s own web sites.
"Although the latest documentations won't be published for the world to see," says Slyck, citing Navin, "an aspiring BitTorrent developer or a hardened coder can still obtain the specifications on the latest protocol extensions by obtaining a SDK license."
At the present time, the entire BitTorrent protocol specification is fully documented and publicly available for the world to see at BitTorrent, Inc.'s bittorrent.org web site. According to BitTorrent's web site, "the protocol development process [will] be formalized and open to the BitTorrent developer community," and an organization will be established to manage revision and extension of the BitTorrent protocol in an open and transparent manner.
One possibility is that the information in the Slyck article could be inaccurate: Navin himself could be wrong, or Slyck could simply be misrepresenting Navin's statements. The other possibility could be that BitTorrent, Inc. has reneged on its plans to create an independent organization to maintain the protocol and its specification in the open. If BitTorrent, Inc. has reneged, then the concerns expressed by independent developers still have some relevance.
On the other hand, if the bittorrent.org web site is correct and Slyck is wrong, developers who wish to create their own BitTorrent clients with the latest features of the protocol will not need any kind of license in order to do so.
A potential factor for consideration that makes the statements attributed to Navin in Slyck's article seem dubious is the nature of the SDK itself. The SDK and its associated license is presently only for hardware makers who want to incorporate support for the BitTorrent protocol into devices, not for software developers who want to implement the protocol for a client.
Unfortunately, the inconsistencies between Navin's statements and the contents of the BitTorrent web site create a lot of ambiguity and leave us with more questions rather than conclusive answers. We attempted to contact BitTorrent, Inc. for clarification but have not yet received a response.
Update: Our skepticism was apparently justified. BitTorrent Inc. has confirmed that the statements attributed to BitTorrent Inc. president Ashwin Navin in Slyck's article are not entirely accurate. As we suspected, the protocol will remain open and publicly accessible without the need for a license, and BitTorrent Inc. will continue to publish the latest version of the specification at the BitTorrent.org web site.

I suppose this will do the same trick for SMF2.0b1?
Thanks for this tip. No wonder my sessions table was so huge :D Dou you put this patch to 1.1.5?

New Zealand's Top Family Vacation Destinations
Just choose one of these great spots, pick up a campervan hire in nz, bundle the kids in the back and get ready for the Kiwi family adventure of a lifetime
It's no easy task figuring out where to take the family on holiday - the balance between finding activities that kids will love and making sure that you and your partner still have a good time is often difficult to find. Fortunately, there are a few spots in New Zealand that boast unforgettable family-focused experiences set in surroundings that both adults and children alike will fall in love with. Don't compromise when it comes to your next family holiday - hire a campervan, give one of these beautiful and engaging locations a try and you'll be reminiscing about the trip for years to come. Campervan hire in New Zealand is a great way to enjoy the locations below and anywhere that a nz campervan can go.
It's not one of the most well known holiday destinations in the country, but that's perfect - you don't want too many people finding out about this coastal gem. One big point in Leigh's favour is that it's very easy to get to, while still being very much removed from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Just fly in to Auckland airport, pick up your motorhome rental and drive north for an hour and a half. Motorhomes are one of the most popular ways to explore New Zealand, due to the freedom they give when selecting your camping spot and the affordable prices of campervan sites. So what's so special about this small fishing community? Well, just offshore lies Goat Island, home to New Zealand's first marine reserve. Snorkeling is a must here, as the local sea life is extremely abundant, colourful and (as it's been protected for so long) largely unafraid of humans. This makes for a truly magical combination - make sure you visit Leigh in summer to make the most of it. There's also an acclaimed glass bottom boat tour that allows you to see all that the marine reserve has to offer while remaining nice and dry. There are two camping grounds in the area - just book early to avoid disappointment!
While the earthquakes of 2011 have changed the face of Christchurch forever, it's not a bad thing at all! The city now has a fresh, vibrant feel to it as people innovate, bounce back and adapt to their new circumstances, and there's certainly plenty to do and see in the fast-developing city. For families with a bit of an adventurous bent, Adrenalin Forest is a fantastic place where both kids and grown ups can go out on a limb while still staying perfectly safe. It features high ropes confidence courses, ranging from just 1 metre off the ground to 20 metre high options. There are some height restrictions, but if your child is over 4' 9", or 1.45 metres tall they're big enough for the tallest courses. If heights aren't a big attraction, Orana Wildlife Park is another great pick for young and old. Spread over 80 hectares just 15 minute's drive from Christchurch, this the only NZ open range zoo. Hand feed a giraffe, come face to face with a magnificent white rhino or meet the nation's first gorilla family group! There are so many incredible wildlife experiences on offer here that it would take all day to list them - just take the kids along and see for yourself! These are just two of the many family activities that Christchurch has to offer - and the city also serves as the perfect launch point for a South Island roadtrip. An RV rental will give you the freedom to plot your own course and travel the way that best suits your family - New Zealand motorhome parks often offer powered campsites,so you don't even have to give up any creature comforts.
Rotorua is without doubt the number one place in the whole country for a family holiday. A New Zealand motorhome hire is certainly an attractive choice as the city is only about a three hour drive south of Auckland and there are plenty of holiday parks to accommodate you in Rotorua. Keep in mind, you may want to take a pitstop in Matamata along the way. This quaint little town surrounded by farmland is host to Hobbiton - the bucolic paradise from The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films that Bilbo and Frodo call home. It's not just an abandoned film set either - great care has been taken to keep it in its original "as seen on film" condition - if you or the kids are Hobbit fans, it's well worth taking the guided tour. Heading on to Rotorua, families are absolutely spoiled for choice. Experience the eerie geothermal wonders of Hell's Gate or Whakarewarewa, where mud bubbles, sulphurous clouds rise into the the air and geysers shoot toward the sky. Discover what it's like to be a NZ farmer in the massively entertaining, family oriented Farm Show put on by the Agrodome - the kids can even jump up to feed the baby lambs or milk a cow! Take a gondola ride that lifts you high above the city up the slopes of Mount Ngongotaha, and shoot down the incline again on a luge ride that's part toboggan, part go kart. There are difficulty levels for all ages and stages, so no one need be left out.
This barely scrapes the surface of what these spots have to offer families - the best way to find out more is to head to Motorhome Republic, pick up a campervan rental New Zealand and start exploring!

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
You can't copy the layout, logo and style, but you can replicate the functionality and concepts if you want.
See this at the bottom of the page: "site design and logo is © 2009 stackoverflow.com LLC; user contributed content licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required"
I think the main problem would be that you might not have a hosting system powerful enough to handle the amount of visitors of SO. With tens of thousands of visitors and hundreds of questions asked and answered every day, you would have a problem to make your site scale upwards.
Legal problems are more likely when you take some elements as code or binaries from this or other sites to use on your own site. Something simple as a logo or name could already be a copyright or trademark infringement. Another possible legal problem might arise when you promote your site as the biggest or best forum about when visitors discover that it only has about 5 active users. And if you mention your site here and at a lot of other locations, you might get in legal problems for spamming.
There have already been multiple StackOverflow clones, including one written in Django with its source code released on Google code. The only legal issue I can think of is that if you re-use the CSS, you have to credit StackOverflow as the originator as required by CC-BY-SA.

This section describes problems that can occur when using
YEAR(2) and provides information
about converting existing
columns to
Although the internal range of values for
YEAR(4) and
YEAR(2) is the same
1901 to
2155, and
0000), the display width for
YEAR(2) makes that type
inherently ambiguous because displayed values indicate only the
last two digits of the internal values and omit the century
digits. The result can be a loss of information under certain
circumstances. For this reason, consider avoiding
YEAR(2) throughout your
applications and using
wherever you need a
YEAR data
type. Note that conversion will become necessary at some point
because support for
YEAR data
types with display values other than 4, most notably
YEAR(2), is reduced as of MySQL
5.6.6 and will be removed entirely in a future release.
Issues with the
YEAR(2) data
type include ambiguity of displayed values, and possible loss
of information when values are dumped and reloaded or
converted to strings.
YEAR(2)values can be ambiguous. It is possible for up to three
YEAR(2)values that have different internal values to have the same displayed value, as the following example demonstrates:
mysql> CREATE TABLE t (y2 YEAR(2), y4 YEAR(4)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO t (y2) VALUES(1912),(2012),(2112); Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec) Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> UPDATE t SET y4 = y2; Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 3 Changed: 3 Warnings: 0 mysql> SELECT * FROM t; +------+------+ | y2 | y4 | +------+------+ | 12 | 1912 | | 12 | 2012 | | 12 | 2112 | +------+------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
If you use mysqldump to dump the table created in the preceding item, the dump file represents all
y2values using the same 2-digit representation (
12). If you reload the table from the dump file, all resulting rows have internal value
2012and display value
12, thus losing the distinctions among them.
Conversion of a
YEAR(4)data value to string form uses the display width of the
YEARtype. Suppose that
YEAR(4)columns both contain the value
1970. Assigning each column to a string results in a value of
'1970', respectively. That is, loss of information occurs for conversion from
YEAR(2)to string.
Values outside the range from
2069are stored incorrectly when inserted into a
YEAR(2)column in a
CSVtable. For example, inserting
2111results in a display value of
11but an internal value of
To avoid these problems, use
YEAR(4) rather than
YEAR(2). Suggestions regarding
migration strategies appear later in this section.
To convert
YEAR(2) columns to
YEAR(4), use
ALTER TABLE. Suppose that a
t1 has this definition:
CREATE TABLE t1 (ycol YEAR(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '70');
Modify the column using
ALTER TABLE as
follows. Remember to include any column attributes such as
NOT NULL or
ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY ycol YEAR(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1970';
ALTER TABLE statement
converts the table without changing
YEAR(2) values. If the server
is a replication master, the
TABLE statement replicates to slaves and makes the
corresponding table change on each one.
One migration method should be avoided: Do not dump your data
with mysqldump and reload the dump file
after upgrading. This has the potential to change
YEAR(2) values, as described
A migration from
YEAR(2) to
YEAR(4) should also involve
examining application code for the possibility of changed
behavior under conditions such as these:

Here is the, long awaited, LAST post to the Homemade Hawkeye Costume. This is how I made the Quiver, an Archers case for holding arrows. We messed around with different materials that could be sturdy enough for play but lightweight so the child doesn't get tired of holding it! I figured the best material would be cardboard! This is also cheap and you most likely have it in your home already!
Materials You Will Need:
- A tube of cardboard from wrapping paper.
- Black strong tape, Gorilla or duct
- Hot Glue
- Black fabric or something you want to use for the strap.
- A small piece of black Velcro
- Stapler
- Needle and Black Thread (if using fabric)
- Black spray paint (or whatever color you want the quiver)
What I did first was removed wrapping paper from its cardboard roll . Then I cut the roll in half, giving me two equal halves (pictured). You want your Quiver a little larger then one of these so you need to combine them together to make your holder a little larger. If you are only making two arrows... You actually don't need to do this step because they will fit in one of the halves of cardboard.
To expand the holder I cut a straight line down the length of both rolls. Eyed how much more cardboard I wanted to use to expand and then cut the excess cardboard from one of the rolls. The second picture on the right shows that I added about a three inch width section to expand the cardboard. I then used my tape to hold it in place. You could also just use a stapler for this part. Then I hot glued the rest of the edge, down the line.
*The next step is to spray paint the cardboard... Since my son is dressing up as Hawkeye, we used black.
*Now you will be making the strap. I chose to use the same fabric I bought for the finger glove, simply because I had it.... also I love the look of leather that it has. However, you could use anything you want for this, example black elastic or even black duct tape folded in half (get creative).
I cut two pieces of the black fabric. One about 19 inches long and the other about 5 inches. I folded the fabric in half, it made it about 1 1/2in. wide, and simply hand stitched the three edges together with black thread.
I measured the lengths of the fabric specifically for my son... many different children from our neighborhood have put on the quiver and it works for them too. However, just incase, before you do any stapling check out if you are making the straps so the Quiver fits on your child.
*Tip, you want the Quiver kind of tight on your child... you don't want it to be hanging and swaying when your child is running.
Then fold about an inch of fabric in to the top and bottom edges and staple the two different lengths of fabric to the cardboard.
This picture is just meant to show you both straps. I actual hot glued one edge and din't like how it turned out so I'm telling you a better way to make it! However, now you should have one LONG strap and one shorter strap stapled to your cardboard.
I then sewed a piece of velcro onto the ends of the straps. Depending on what you used for the straps...You can also hot glue the Velcro on.
*Now you will cover the end with the shorter strap because that is the bottom of the Quiver and we need our arrows to stay put! Like I said above, I did this before adding the straps and I now think I should have done this step last... It works really well if BOTH straps are STAPLED to the cardboard before the bottom is taped on!!!
Cut out a bit of cardboard from your leftover piece. Make it kind of fit into the bottom, filling in the circle. Then use your strong tape and tape down the whole thing, basically covering the whole bottom. You can make it look clean by covering the bottom side view with one more piece of tape around the bottom just so you don't see all of the little pieces coming together.... (pictured above in the side view).
Here is a picture of my son with the Quiver on from the front. It is great that the velcro connects at a lower point and it's very comfortable to wear!
The length of the strap holds the Quiver in a good place and makes it easy of him to pull out his arrows just by reaching back!
There you have it, a nice lightweight and comfortable Quiver for your little HAWKEYE or Archer!
I just wanted to add something fun about this Quiver. My son loves to dress up! He sometimes will just wear this Quiver to hold his swords because of the easy access to pull them out over his shoulder! So this is a fun item to add to the costume box even if you aren't going to make the Bow and Arrows!

Eating solid food early sets marmosets on path to obesity
Baby marmoset monkeys that began eating solid food earlier than their peers were significantly more likely to be obese at 1 year of age, scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute found.
This early life obesity resulted in metabolic damage such as insulin resistance and poor blood sugar control, a companion study showed.
Marmosets on track for obesity appeared to be more efficient in their feeding behavior. "Although all animals consumed the same amount of liquid, the ones taking in more on each lick were the ones that later became obese," said Corinna Ross, Ph.D., lead author of one of the studies. Dr. Ross is instructor of cellular and structural biology in the School of Medicine of the Health Science Center and is based in the Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies.
Model of early life obesity
"With its small size and early maturation, we think the marmoset is going to be an exceptionally good model of early life obesity and offers many opportunities to further explore why youngsters become obese and what interventions may work to counteract early life obesity," said senior author Suzette D. Tardif, Ph.D., associate professor of cellular and structural biology in the School of Medicine and director of the marmoset research program at the Barshop Institute. The studies were conducted at the Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio.
In previous studies, Dr. Tardif found that obesity patterns begin just 30 days after birth in the marmosets. A 30-day-old marmoset infant is the equivalent of a 5- to 8-month-old human infant. At 6 months of age, a marmoset is as old as a juvenile child before puberty. At a year old, the small non-human primate is the equivalent in age of a human adolescent.
The team monitored marmoset infant behaviors seven days a week to precisely document when each infant was weaned and ate its first solid food, Dr. Ross said. The team also observed 16 hours of liquid feeding using a device called a lickometer, as well as solid food feeding when the animals reached 3, 6 and 12 months old. Lickometer feeding mimics the way marmosets lick from sources in the wild, Dr. Ross said.
Metabolic damage
Both research articles are in the journal Obesity. The second paper, with Michael L. Power, Ph.D., of the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park as lead author, reports on the metabolic consequences of early life obesity in the marmosets.
"The paper Mike led reveals just how damaging the obesity is in marmosets," Dr. Tardif said. "By the time of adolescence, they're already insulin-resistant."
Marmosets have significantly less body fat than humans, but in the marmoset it takes considerably less fat to generate metabolic dysfunction, she noted.
Animals that are going to be normal weight gain lean mass, such as muscle, at a faster rate than they gain body fat. "That's true for human children, as well," Dr. Tardif said. But marmosets that became obese gained both fat mass and lean mass faster than their normal-weight counterparts. This meant that the obese animals' percentage of body fat grew during infancy and adolescence.

Many downtown employees likely won't be able to return to their offices until mid-week, but some residents along the Elbow River could return home over the weekend, city officials said Friday night.
A large portion of downtown is without power, Mayor Naheed Nenshi said at an 8 p.m. briefing at the Calgary Emergency Operations Centre.
"We know that this outage will be long lasting," Nenshi said. "It is extremely unlikely that people will be able to return to those buildings before the middle of next week."
People largely stayed away from the corporate heart of Canada's oilpatch Friday, before a midday evacuation. It's unclear what economic impacts a longer downtown closure will have.
Power outages continued to affect many parts of the city Friday night. Calgary Emergency Management Agency director Bruce Burrell said the city took some transformers off-line to dry out before they were damaged by water.
There was some good news for residents along the Elbow River Friday evening, as Nenshi said some people may be able to return home in the next few days.
City officials believe the Elbow River crested earlier today, Nenshi said.
He said some residents in Discovery Ridge might even be able to return sooner, although there was nothing happening on that front Friday night.
But there's no indication yet as to when evacuated residents along the Bow River will be able to go back to their communities, Nenshi said.
Many roads and bridges across the city remain closed, but the Calf Robe Bridge over the Bow remains open and one lane reopened on southbound Deerfoot Trail until Southland Drive.
West of Deerfoot Trail, Blackfoot Trail remains closed in both directions and Glenmore Trail is still closed between 18th Street and Blackfoot Trail.

So, the situation is that i have 2 ldif files i'm recreating the database from. /usr/local/libexec/slapadd -l /home/tculjaga/file2.ldif -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf /usr/local/libexec/slapadd -l /home/tculjaga/file2.ldif -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
I would suggest you just make these a single file, so all the work can be done at one time.
I tried to re-index with /usr/local/libexec/slapindex -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -v restart slapd process, restart the machine ... it is always the same issue.
Nothing here indicates a problem with your indices. Running slapindex repeatedly is a waste of your time.
[root@l01lnp2 traces]# /usr/local/libexec/slapd -V @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.16 (Sep 9 2009 14:39:44) $ root@l01lnp2:/home/tculjaga/openldap-2.4.16/servers/slapd
I would strongly urge you to upgrade to 2.4.18 (for reasons I will note further down)
[root@l01lnp2 traces]# /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/bin/db_stat -V Berkeley DB 4.7.25: (May 15, 2008) - unpached!
You need to rebuild BDB 4.7.25 with the 4 patches from Oracle. There are known issues when running BDB 4.7 without them.
[root@l01lnp2 traces]# du -c -h /var/lib/ldap/*.bdb 200K /var/lib/ldap/bestMatchPrefix.bdb 3.8G /var/lib/ldap/dn2id.bdb 6.2G /var/lib/ldap/id2entry.bdb 1.8M /var/lib/ldap/objectClass.bdb 1.2M /var/lib/ldap/originatorPrefixID.bdb 48M /var/lib/ldap/uniqueID.bdb 10G total
Since your database is a total of 10 GB in size, for slapadd to work at optimum efficiency, you need at least 10GB of cache for your DB_CONFIG file. Unfortunately, you only have 10GB of RAM. Essentially, your system is under powered for your database size.
[tculjaga@l01lnp2 ~]$ cat ot.ldif | grep -c "dn: " 101588 [tculjaga@l01lnp2 ~]$ cat l01sipdir1.ldif | grep -c "dn: " 9994864 [tculjaga@l01lnp2 ~]$
So you have 10,096,452 entries total.
[root@l01lnp2 traces]# cat /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG | grep -v "#" set_cachesize 0 3221225472 1 set_lg_regionmax 262144 set_lg_bsize 2097152
You only have a 3GB DB cachesize configured here. Expect things to perform sub optimally. It would have been easier to set this by going
set_cachesize 3 0 1Which would have the same effect, since the first number is the number of gigabytes to allocate.
Please find attached slapd.conf
Ok, so the relevant bits from here are: cachesize 2500000 idlcachesize 7500000 cachefree 1000Which means you have a cachesize of 2.5 million, an idlcachesize of 7.5 million, and (with OL 2.4.16) a dncachesize of 5 million.
I would highly advise you upgrade to OpenLDAP 2.4.18, and change the slapd.conf settings to:
dncachesize 0 (which means unlimited).And setting no cache or idlcachesize, and fixing your DB_CONFIG. But you also need to buy a substantial amount of RAM for a DB of this size. :P I would advise you upgrade to at least 32GB total. Then you can more optimally tune the system.

According to Uproxx, this Fifty Shades of Grey masturbating kiosk is located in a Sainsbury's, which is a chain of supermarkets in the U.K. that apparently specializes in dirty books and special vibrator batteries. Oh, and those shortbread cookies that are so maddeningly delicious. This display should remind everyone why the internet (and, by extension, e-publishing) is a thing — so everyone can look at their dirty books in private and make a more discreet battery-run later.
Now that the indie literary darling Fifty Shades of Grey has gone mainstream (it now boasts a classical music soundtrack), it's probably all but impossible for you to enjoy it anymore. The novel about sadomasochism (pro-tip: if you use the word "sadomasochistic" to describe Fifty Shades, you're halfway to a doctoral thesis about the metaliterary experience of reading E.L. James as well as a tenure-track position at Yale) has already sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, and is being prepped for distribution in 43 other countries even as we sit here not leafing through its titillating pages. Soon, readers the world over will be hiding their copies of Fifty Shades so that no one judges their literary tastes, which they'll eventually realize is silly when they learn that everybody else is secretly reading the very same book.
