This chapter describes the basic concepts involved in using the Recovery Manager (RMAN) utility.
This chapter contains these topics:
The RMAN repository contains extensive records of about backups as well as other useful information such as database schema and configuration settings. You can use RMAN commands
REPORT, and
SHOW to access this repository information.
In addition to these general reporting commands, you can also make use of the
PREVIEW command to see which backup files are required to restore specific database objects from backup. See Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Basics for more details on
LIST command is used to query the RMAN repository and obtain data about:
BACKUP command;
BACKUP-generated files, that is, archived logs, datafiles, control files, and server parameter files;
RMAN LIST output is sent either to standard output or to the message log (though not to both at the same time). You can also control how the output is organized as well as the level of detail in the output.
You can also list backups by querying
V$BACKUP_FILES and the
RC_BACKUP_FILES recovery catalog view. These views provide access to the same information as the
BACKUPSET command.
LIST command displays the same files that the
CROSSCHECK and
DELETE commands operate on. Consequently, you can issue
LIST to see what is in the repository, and then run
CROSSCHECK to ensure that these files exist on disk or tape.

RMAN reports are intended to provide analysis of your backup and recovery situation. An RMAN report can answer questions such as:
RMAN's reporting can be used to monitor and validate your ongoing backup strategy. The
REPORT NEED BACKUP and
REPORT UNRECOVERABLE commands let you ensure that the necessary backups are available for media recovery, and that you can perform media recovery within a reasonable amount of time.
Also, if you are managing backup storage yourself instead of using a flash recovery area, then you should run
REPORT OBSOLETE regularly to identify backups no longer needed to meet your retention policy. You can then delete these backups with
A datafile that does not have a backup is still considered recoverable by RMAN, as long as a complete set of archived redo logs is available, from the time the datafile was created to the present. During recovery, an empty datafile is created, and then all of the changes to the datafile from the archived redo logs are applied to reconstruct the full contents of the file.
OBSOLETE command displays backups of datafiles, control files, and archived redo logs that can be deleted because they are no longer needed. You can define what makes a file obsolete in the following mutually exclusive ways:
At least
The backup is not needed for recovery to any point within the recovery window of
In addition to obsolete datafile backups, RMAN reports obsolete archived logs and archived log backups. Regardless of which parameter is specified, RMAN uses this setting to determine which backups of datafiles are no longer needed, which in turn determines when archived logs (and backups of archived logs) are no longer needed. Note that if a datafile has never been backed up, then all archived redo logs back to the creation time of the file will be retained. With a full set of logs, the file can be completely re-created during media recovery. An empty datafile is automatically created during recovery, and all changes ever applied to the original datafile that was not backed up are re-applied to the newly created file.
OBSOLETE command lets you identify files which are no longer needed to satisfy backup retention policies. By default, the
OBSOLETE commannd reports which files are obsolete under the currently configured retention policy. To generate reports of which files are obsolete according to different retention policies by using
REDUNDANCY or
RECOVERY WINDOW retention policy options with the
OBSOLETE command. For example, if you run any of these commands:
RMAN displays backups that are obsolete according to those retention policies, regardless of the actual configured retention policy.
If you disable the retention policy completely (that is, if you run
NONE), then RMAN does not consider any backups to be obsolete. If you run
OBSOLETE with no options and no retention policy is configured, then RMAN issues an error message.
You can also query
V$BACKUP_FILES and
RC_BACKUP_FILES, using the
OBSOLETE column to identify backup sets, datafile copies, and archived logs that are obsolete according to the configured retention policy.
An obsolete backup differs from an expired backup. An obsolete backup is no longer needed according to the user's retention policy. An expired backup is a backup that the

ORPHAN command displays orphaned backups. To understand orphaned backups, you must understand the ide aof a database incarnation.
A new incarnation of a database is created whenever each time the database is opened with the
RESETLOGS option. Performing an
OPEN RESETLOGS archives the current online redo logs, resets the log sequence number to 1, and then gives the online redo logs a new time stamp and SCN.
RMAN is able to restore backups from direct ancestor incarnations and recover to the current time, even across
OPEN RESETLOGS operations, as long as a continuous path of archived logs exists from the earliest backups to the point to which you want to recover.
When a database goes through multiple incarnations, some backups can become orphaned. Orphaned backups are backups that are unusable because they belong to incarnations of the database that are not direct ancestors of the current incarnation. That is, they are not in an unbroken incarnation path from the current incarnation.
Figure shows a database that goes through three incarnations.
Text description of the illustration bradv034.gif
Incarnation A of the database started at SCN 1. At SCN 10, assume that you performed a
RESETLOGS operation and created incarnation B. At SCN 20, you performed another
RESETLOGS operation on incarnation B and created a new incarnation C.
The following table explains which backups in this example are orphans, depending on which incarnation is current.
|Current Incarnation
|Usable Backups (Nonorphaned)
|Orphaned Backups

RMAN's record of backups can become out of step with the actual backups that exist on tape or disk. For example, a user may inadvertently delete backup pieces from disk using operating system commands, or one of the tapes used by the media manager may become corrupted.
To ensure that data about backups in the recovery catalog or control file is synchronized with actual files on disk or in the media management catalog, perform a crosscheck. The
CROSSCHECK command operates only on files that are recorded in the RMAN repository.
Figure 4-2 illustrates a crosscheck of the media manager. RMAN queries the RMAN repository for the names and locations of the four backup pieces to be checked. RMAN sends this information to the target database server, which queries the media management software about the backups. The media management software then checks its media catalog and reports back to the server that backup set
3 is missing. RMAN updates the status of backup set
3 to
EXPIRED in the repository. The record for backup set
3 will now be deleted if you run
Text description of the illustration bradv031.gif
Crosschecks are useful because they can
Use the crosscheck feature to check the status of a backup on disk or tape. If the backup is on disk, then
CROSSCHECK checks whether the header of the file is valid. If a backup is on tape, then the command checks that the backups exist in the media management software's catalog.
Backup pieces and image copies can have the status
EXPIRED, or
UNAVAILABLE. You can view the status information in the output of the
LIST command and the recovery catalog views.
You can issue the
EXPIRED command to delete all expired backups. RMAN removes the record for the expired file from the repository. If for some reason the file still exists on the media, then RMAN issues warnings and lists the mismatched objects that cannot be deleted.

When LIST, REPORT and SHOW do not provide all the information you need on RMAN activities, there are a number of useful
V$ views that can provide more details.
Sometimes it is useful to identify exactly what a server session performing a backup or recovery task is doing. You have access to several views that can assist in monitoring the progress of or obtaining information about RMAN jobs, as described in the following table.
Displays messages reported by an RMAN job in progress.
Shows the success/failure status of all recently completed RMAN jobs.
Identifies currently active processes.
Identifies which datafiles require recovery.
Identifies currently active sessions. Use this view to determine which database server sessions correspond to which RMAN allocated channels.
Provides progress reports on RMAN backup and restore jobs.
Lists the events or resources for which sessions are waiting.
Displays rows when the I/O is synchronous to the process (or thread on some platforms) performing the backup.
Displays rows when the I/O is asynchronous to the process (or thread on some platforms) performing the backup.
Asynchronous I/O is obtained either through the use of slave I/O processes or because it is supported by the underlying operating system.
You can use RMAN to perform the checks discussed in the following sections:
To identify which server sessions correspond to which RMAN channels, you can query
V$SESSION and
V$PROCESS. The
SPID column of
V$PROCESS identifies the operating system ID number for the process or thread. For example, on UNIX the
SPID column shows the process ID, whereas on Windows the
SPID column shows the thread ID. You have two basic methods for obtaining this information, depending on whether you have multiple RMAN sessions active concurrently.
When only one RMAN session is active, the easiest method for determining the server session ID for an RMAN channel is to execute the following query on the target database while the RMAN job is executing:
COLUMN CLIENT_INFO FORMAT a30 COLUMN SID FORMAT 999 COLUMN SPID FORMAT 9999 SELECT s.SID, p.SPID, s.CLIENT_INFO FROM V$PROCESS p, V$SESSION s WHERE p.ADDR = s.PADDR AND CLIENT_INFO LIKE 'rman%' ;
If you do not run the
ID command in the RMAN job, then the
CLIENT_INFO column displays in the following format:
rman channel=channel_id
For example, the following shows sample output:
SID SPID CLIENT_INFO ---- ------------ ------------------------------ 14 8374 rman channel=ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
If more than one RMAN session is active, it is possible for the
V$SESSION.CLIENT_INFO column to yield the same information for a channel in each session. For example:
SID SPID CLIENT_INFO ---- ------------ ------------------------------ 14 8374 rman channel=ORA_SBT_TAPE_1 9 8642 rman channel=ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
In this case, you have the following methods for determining which channel corresponds to which
SID value.
In this method, you must first obtain the
sid values from the RMAN output and then use these values in your SQL query.
To correlate a process with a channel during a backup:
sid for the channel. For example, the output may show:
Starting backup at 21-AUG-01 allocated channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1 channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: sid=14 devtype=SBT_TAPE
V$SESSION and
V$PROCESS views while the RMAN job is executing. For example, enter:
COLUMN CLIENT_INFO FORMAT a30 COLUMN SID FORMAT 999 COLUMN SPID FORMAT 9999 SELECT s.SID, p.SPID, s.CLIENT_INFO FROM V$PROCESS p, V$SESSION s WHERE p.ADDR = s.PADDR AND CLIENT_INFO LIKE 'rman%' /
Use the
sid value obtained from the first step to determine which channel corresponds to which server session:
SID SPID CLIENT_INFO ---------- ------------ ------------------------------ 14 2036 rman channel=ORA_SBT_TAPE_1 12 2066 rman channel=ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
In this method, you specify a command ID string in the RMAN backup script. You can then query
V$SESSION.CLIENT_INFO for this string.
To correlate a process with a channel during a backup:
ID to a different value after allocating the channels and then back up the desired object. For example, enter the following in session 1:
RMAN> RUN { ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE sbt; SET COMMAND ID TO 'sess1'; BACKUP DATABASE; }
Set the command ID to a string such as
sess2 in the job running in session 2:
RUN { ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE sbt; SET COMMAND ID TO 'sess2'; BACKUP DATABASE; }
V$SESSION and
V$PROCESS views while the RMAN job is executing. For example, enter:
SQL> SELECT SID, SPID, CLIENT_INFO FROM V$PROCESS p, V$SESSION s WHERE p.ADDR = s.PADDR AND CLIENT_INFO LIKE '%id=sess%';
If you run the
ID command in the RMAN job, then the
CLIENT_INFO column displays in the following format:
id=command_id,rman channel=channel_id
For example, the following shows sample output:
SID SPID CLIENT_INFO ---- ------------ ------------------------------ 11 8358 id=sess1 15 8638 id=sess2 14 8374 id=sess1,rman channel=c1 9 8642 id=sess2,rman channel=c1
The rows that contain the string
rman channel show the channel performing the backup. The remaining rows are for the connections to the target database.

Monitor the progress of backups and restores by querying the view
V$SESSION_LONGOPS. RMAN uses two types of rows in
V$SESSION_LONGOPS: detail and aggregate rows. Detail rows describe the files being processed by one job step, while aggregate rows describe the files processed by all job steps in an RMAN command. A job step is the creation or restore of one backup set or datafile copy. Detail rows are updated with every buffer that is read or written during the backup step, so their granularity of update is small. Aggregate rows are updated when each job step completes, so their granularity of update is large.
Table 4-1 describes column in
V$SESSION_LONGOPS that are most relevant for RMAN. Typically, you will view the detail rows rather than the aggregate rows to determine the progress of each backup set.
|Description for Detail Rows
The server session ID corresponding to an RMAN channel.
The server session serial number. This value changes each time a server session is reused.
A text description of the row. Examples of details rows include
For backup output rows, this value is
The meaning of this column depends on the type of operation described by this row:
The meaning of this column depends on the type of operation described by this row:
Each server session performing a backup or restore reports its progress compared to the total amount of work required for a job step. For example, if you perform a database restore that uses two channels, and each channel has two backup sets to restore (a total of four sets), then each server session reports its progress through a single backup set. When that set is completely restored, RMAN begins reporting progress on the next set to restore.
To monitor job progress:
longops) containing the following SQL statement:
SELECT SID, SERIAL#, CONTEXT, SOFAR, TOTALWORK, ROUND(SOFAR/TOTALWORK*100,2) "%_COMPLETE" FROM V$SESSION_LONGOPS WHERE OPNAME LIKE 'RMAN%' AND OPNAME NOT LIKE '%aggregate%' AND TOTALWORK != 0 AND SOFAR <> TOTALWORK ;
longops script to check the progress of the RMAN job. If you repeat the query while the restore progresses, then you see output such as the following:
SQL> @longops SID SERIAL# CONTEXT SOFAR TOTALWORK %_COMPLETE ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 8 19 1 10377 36617 28.34 SQL> @longops SID SERIAL# CONTEXT SOFAR TOTALWORK % COMPLETE ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 8 19 1 21513 36617 58.75 SQL> @longops SID SERIAL# CONTEXT SOFAR TOTALWORK % COMPLETE ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 8 19 1 29641 36617 80.95 SQL> @longops SID SERIAL# CONTEXT SOFAR TOTALWORK % COMPLETE ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 8 19 1 35849 36617 97.9 SQL> @longops no rows selected
COMPLETE column does not increase, then RMAN is encountering a problem. Refer to "Monitoring RMAN Interaction with the Media Manager" to obtain more information.
If you frequently monitor the execution of long-running tasks, you could create a shell script or batch file under your host operating system that runs SQL*Plus to execute this query repeatedly.
You can use the event names in the dynamic performance event views to monitor RMAN calls to the media management API. The event names have one-to-one correspondence with sbt functions, as shown in the following examples:
sbtinit sbtopen sbtread sbtwrite sbtbackup
Before making a call to any of functions in the media management API, the server adds a row in
V$SESSION_WAIT, with the
STATUS column including the string
WAIT. The
V$SESSION_WAIT.SECONDS_IN_WAIT column shows the number of seconds that the server has been waiting for this call to return. After an
sbt function is returned from the media manager, this row disappears.
A row in
V$SESSION_WAIT corresponding to an
sbt event name does not indicate a problem, because the server updates these rows at runtime. The rows appear and disappear as calls are made and returned. However, if the
SECONDS_IN_WAIT column is high, then the media manager may be hung.
To monitor the
sbt events, you can run the following SQL query:
COLUMN EVENT FORMAT a10 COLUMN SECONDS_IN_WAIT FORMAT 999 COLUMN STATE FORMAT a20 COLUMN CLIENT_INFO FORMAT a30 SELECT p.SPID, EVENT, SECONDS_IN_WAIT AS SEC_WAIT, STATE, CLIENT_INFO FROM V$SESSION_WAIT sw, V$SESSION s, V$PROCESS p WHERE sw.EVENT LIKE 'sbt%' AND s.SID=sw.SID AND s.PADDR=p.ADDR /
Examine the SQL output to determine which
sbt functions are waiting. For example, the following output indicates that RMAN has been waiting for the
sbtbackup function to return for ten minutes:
SPID EVENT SEC_WAIT STATE CLIENT_INFO ---- ---------- ---------- -------------------- ------------------------------ 8642 sbtbackup 600 WAITING rman channel=ORA_SBT_TAPE_1

Monitor backup and restore performance by querying
V$BACKUP_SYNC_IO and
|See Also:
Oracle Database Reference for more information on these
You can often use the dynamic performance view
V$RECOVER_FILE to determine which files need to be recovered and why they need to be recovered. The following query shows the file numbers of datafiles that require recovery, as well as the reason for recovery (if known) and the SCN and time when recovery needs to begin:
COL FILE# FORMAT 999 COL ERROR FORMAT a10 SELECT * FROM V$RECOVER_FILE; FILE# ONLINE ONLINE_ ERROR CHANGE# TIME ----- ------- ------- ---------- ---------- -------------------- 4 ONLINE ONLINE FILE NOT 0 FOUND 5 ONLINE ONLINE FILE NOT 0 FOUND 8 OFFLINE OFFLINE OFFLINE 0 NORMAL
The view is not useful if the control file currently in use is a restored backup or a new control file created after the media failure occurred. A restored or re-created control file does not contain the information needed to update
You canperform a useful join between V$RECOVER_FILE, V$DATAFILE and V$TABLESPACE to see which datafiles and tablespaces are in need of recovery, as shown in the following example:
COL df# FORMAT 999 COL df_name FORMAT a35 COL tbsp_name FORMAT a10 COL status FORMAT a7 COL error FORMAT a10 SELECT r.FILE# AS df#, d.NAME AS df_name, t.NAME AS tbsp_name, d.STATUS, r.ERROR, r.CHANGE#, r.TIME FROM V$RECOVER_FILE r, V$DATAFILE d, V$TABLESPACE t WHERE t.TS# = d.TS# AND d.FILE# = r.FILE# ;
Sample output follows:
DF# DF_NAME TBSP_NAME STATUS ERROR CHANGE# TIME ---- ------------------------- ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- ----- 4 /oracle/oradata/trgt/drsys01.dbf DRSYS ONLINE FILE NOT 0 FOUND 5 /oracle/oradata/trgt/example01.dbf EXAMPLE ONLINE FILE NOT 0 FOUND 8 /oracle/oradata/trgt/users01.dbf USERS OFFLINE OFFLINE 0 NORMAL
Every RMAN backup produces a corresponding record in the RMAN repository. This record is stored in the control file. If a recovery catalog is used, the record can also be found in the recovery catalog after the recovery catalog is resynced from the control file.
For example, if you generate a full database backup set, then you can view the record for this backup set in the
V$BACKUP_SET control file view. If you use a recovery catalog, then you can also access the record in the
RC_BACKUP_SET catalog view.
V$ control file views and recovery catalog tables differ in the way that they store information, and this affects how RMAN handles repository records. The recovery catalog RMAN repository is stored in actual database tables, while the control file version of the repository is stored in an internal structure in the control file.
When you use an RMAN command to delete a backup, RMAN performs the following steps:
Because of the way that control file data is stored, RMAN cannot remove the record from the control file, only update it to
DELETED status. However, because the catalog tables are ordinary database tables, RMAN removes rows from them.
Table 4-2 describes the functionality of the various RMAN deletion commands. All of these work whether you store the RMAN repository only in the control file or use a recovery catalog.
|Command or Script
To delete physical backups, update the control file records to status
You can specify that
To back up archived logs, datafile copies, or backup sets, then delete the input files from the operating system after the successful completion of the backup. RMAN also deletes and updates repository records for the deleted input files.
If you specify
To delete recovery catalog records for specified backups and change their control file records to status
|See Also:
DELETE command can remove any file that the
LIST and
CROSSCHECK commands can operate on. For example, you can delete backup sets, archived redo logs, and datafile copies. The
DELETE command removes both the physical file and the catalog record for the file.
Always use
DELETE command within RMAN to remove RMAN backups, rather than an operating system or media manager utility or command. Otherwise, the RMAN repository can contain records of backups that are no longer available for use in restore operations.
If you delete backups without using RMAN, you can use one of the following methods within RMAN to update the RMAN repository directly without performing a crosscheck:
CROSSCHECK to change the status of these files to
EXPIRED and then run
EXPIRED to delete the records from the RMAN repository
UNCATALOG to remove the catalog records
OBSOLETE command provides a convenient way to delete backups that are no longer needed. It uses the same
WINDOW, and
ORPHAN options as the
OBSOLETE command.
If you have configured a retention policy, then you can run
OBSOLETE periodically to delete all backups considered obsolete by this policy. For example, you can run
OBSOLETE in a script every night with a scheduling utility, freeing disk and tape space used by backups that are no longer needed.
Note that using a flash recovery area as the destination for all backups eliminates the need to manage obsolete backups. Obsolete backups will be deleted from the flash recovery area automatically as disk space is needed to store backup-related files.
|See Also:
CROSSCHECK command updates the repository status for a backup to
EXPIRED when it cannot locate it at the location to which it was backed up. This condition could occur if, for example, a backup was deleted from disk at the operating system level. You can identify expired backups by running the
CROSSCHECK command as in the following example:
RMAN> CROSSCHECK BACKUP; crosschecked backup piece: found to be 'AVAILABLE' backup piece handle=0ad8d32i_1_1 recid=10 stamp=445025363 crosschecked backup piece: found to be 'AVAILABLE' backup piece handle=c-1334876723-20011105-00 recid=11 stamp=445025367 crosschecked backup piece: found to be 'EXPIRED' backup piece handle=0cd8d361_1_1 recid=12 stamp=445025473 crosschecked backup piece: found to be 'AVAILABLE' backup piece handle=c-1334876723-20011105-01 recid=13 stamp=445025475 Crosschecked 4 objects
If you run
CROSSCHECK while some backup device is temporarily not accessible. This can happen if a disk is unmounted or if RMAN does not correctly connect to a media manager. In such a case, fix the problem that prevented RMAN from finding the backups and rerun
EXPIRED command removes the recovery catalog records for expired backups, and updates their control file records to status
This command is especially useful if a user inadvertently deletes RMAN backups or archived logs from disk with an operating system utility. In such a case, the RMAN repository is not synchronized with the actual contents of disk. By running the
CROSSCHECK command, RMAN marks the backups that it cannot find as expired. Then, you can run
EXPIRED to remove the records for these files.
You may want to delete files such as archived logs only if they have been backed up a specified number of times to tape. The
DELETE command supports this behavior. The following example deletes all archived redo logs that have already been backed up at least two times to tape:
RMAN> DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL BACKED UP 2 TIMES TO DEVICE TYPE sbt;
The repository record for an object can sometimes fail to reflect the physical status of the object. For example, you backup an archived redo log to disk and then use an operating system utility to delete the object. If you do not run the
CROSSCHECK command to update the repository, and if you then run
DELETE against the object, then the repository shows that the object is
AVAILABLE while the object is in fact missing. The following table indicates the behavior of
DELETE in such situations.
|Repository Status
|Physical Status
|Behavior of DELETE Command
Not found on media
Does not delete the object and reports the list of mismatched objects at the end of the job. RMAN does not update the repository status.
Found on media
Does not delete the object and reports the list of mismatched objects at the end of the job. RMAN does not update the repository status.
Removes repository record and deletes object if it exists. All I/O errors are ignored.
If you use the
FORCE option of DELETE, RMAN will remove the repository record and delete the file if it exists. All I/O errors are ignored, and RMAN displays the number of objects deleted at the end of the job.
INPUT command can delete archived redo logs, datafile copies, and backup sets after backing them up. This functionality is especially useful when backing up archived logs on disk to tape. RMAN backs up one copy of each log sequence number, and then deletes the file that it backs up. For example, assume that you issue:
In this command, RMAN backs up one copy of each log for each available sequence number, and then deletes only the archived redo log file that it actually backs up. If you have multiple redo log archiving destinations, the other copies of the same log sequence number are not deleted.
If you specify the
INPUT option, then RMAN deletes whichever files match the criteria that you specify, even if there are several files of the same log sequence number. For example, assume that you archive to three different directories. Then, you issue this command:
In this case, RMAN backs up only one copy of each log sequence between 1200 and the most recent sequence, but deletes all logs with these sequence numbers contained in the three archive destinations.
During backup of archived redo logs, RMAN checks the file being backed up for corruption. If corruption is found, RMAN automatically switches to reading another copy of the same archived redo log, if one exists. For example, assume that
/log1 and
/log2 are the only enabled archiving destinations, and that they contain logs with sequence number up through 150. You run this command:
RMAN can start reading from any cpoy of a given log. For example, if RMAN starts reading the copy of log sequence 123 from
/log1 and discovers corruption in the file, it continues reading from the copy in
/log2. Because
INPUT is specified, RMAN deletes all copies of logs on disk of sequence 123 and higher.
|See Also:
RMAN can update the repository to show backups as
AVAILABLE or
UNAVAILABLE. An unavailable backup is one that cannot be accessed at a particular moment but that has not been deleted. For example, you may have backups on tape that are temporariliy stored offsite and are inaccesible. You can use the
UNAVAILABLE command to update the repository status for these backups to
UNAVAILABLE so that RMAN will not try to use them for its backup and recovery operations.
When the tapes become available again, you can issue the
AVAILABLE command to update the RMAN repository to show that these backups now can be used. After setting the files back to status
AVAILABLE, you can also run a
CROSSCHECK to verify that RMAN can access the files.
|See Also:
CHANGE... KEEP or
CHANGE... NOKEEP to specify whether a backup should be subject to the configured retention policy or kept until a different date or even indefinitely.
KEEP option exempts a backup from the current retention policy either indefinitely or until the specified
UNTIL time. RMAN does not mark the files as obsolete even if they would be considered obsolete under the retention policy. Such backups are called long-term backups.
NOKEEP is used to undo the effects of
... KEEP, so that the configured retention policy applies to the backup.
For example, the following command blocks RMAN from considering backupsets with the tag
'year_end_2002' as obsolete under the retention policy:
RMAN> CHANGE BACKUPSET TAG year_end_2002 KEEP;
To allow backupsets with the tag
year_end_2002 to be marked as obsolete based on the retention policy, use this command:
RMAN> CHANGE BACKUPSET TAG year_end_2002 NOKEEP;
If you want to prevent the use of a backup marked with
KEEP in restore and recovery operations, then mark these backups as
UNAVAILABLE. RMAN will not delete the records for these backups from the RMAN repository, but will not try to use them in restore and recovery until they are marked
AVAILABLE again.

That "SketchUp model" is not the case any more actually - you can export full resolution with the free version, too.
However it CAN be a good model as many rendering application does this. Even a funny thing happened once in the Twilight Forums (it has resolution limitation AND watermark) a guy came and complained that he cannot export larger than 800x600 pixels and the answer was that surely he cannot with pirated versions. That must have been the case as he never came back...
They also have a computer specific licensing method and the key will only work on one computer with a certain OS install (so if you move to another computer, change hardware or reinstall OS, you need to get a new auth key) These are all good ways to minimize piracy (cannot fully eliminate it of course) but when it is so cumbersome already, users will tend to rather buy the product - especially if it is so well priced as PhotoSculpt (or in fact twilight, too - exactly the same price )

I can do that, it's called "hardware locking". But ... as a user I don't like it . Maybe one day? What do you think?
Re: PhotoSculpt
not particularly fond of hardware locking either. now that i think about it more i think the water mark method may actually be the best. unlimited length for trial, unlimited resolution but add watermarks to everything. just don't get carried away with watermarks. some software put so many you can't even see your work after.

Hello Earthmover, nice fountain!
that's easy: your images are taken too far apart. Way beyond repair. You need to shoot them again I'm sorry.
If you want to know if your images are taken too far apart: as per the tutorial 2 (link below), check you images on your camera screen after shooting. Going back and forth front and right image should make the subject "dance" or "rock". Like an animated movie? It's maybe difficult to explain it right as my english is limited.
Here the front rock moves by 25% of the image (big move!), the left rock almost dissapear and change shape. = that tells me it's too much for photosculpt I'm sorry.
See other points from the tutorial 2 for more info: http://www.photosculpt.net/tutorial/
It should work in the end, that's an easy subject.
Re: PhotoSculpt
No problem my friend. I will have to retake the photos sometime this week and try again. Thanks for clarifying!

I created much more textures now (46 at the time I'm posting).
Not all are ready for download yet. But for the first time at http://www.photosculpt.net
I'm selling some of them here from Eur 5.99
I also have a very nice Flash 3D viewer in front page at http://www.photosculpt.net featuring some models created with my software.
I think that's all

"Let no day pass without discussing goodness and all the other subjects about which you hear me talking and examining both myself and others. Life without this sort of examination is not worth living." - Socrates.
According to a more modern-day editorial in one of the world's leading newspapers, The Times of London, "Philosophy is, in commercial jargon, the ultimate 'transferable work skill' ". The editor goes on to note that a very high percentage of philosophy majors find meaningful employment outside of philosophy—employment that calls on the skills and knowledge that philosophy teaches. That might seem surprising to people who think of philosophy as an "up in the clouds" discipline that only deals with "the big questions."
Philosophy does deal with big questions, but it is also concerned with everyday life. To help illustrate this, let's divide the questions of philosophy into three groups. First, there are those big questions: for example, What is the meaning of life? Is there a God? Are there absolute moral rights and wrongs? But, second, there are practical questions that bear on everyday life, such as what justice is, what makes a good society, how to live a good life, and how to protect ourselves from being victimized by the mistakes, lies, and deceptive practices of other people. Third are practical questions that arise from special circumstances, such as whether to terminate the life support of a family member, whether to assist a suicide, whether to have or perform an abortion, and to whom of several needy people to give the one kidney that is available.
The Times editorial goes on to say, "Philosophy is a quintessentially modern discipline." The author's point is that the modern world is more and more an open market of competing and sometimes conflicting ideas. Philosophy helps us live sanely and productively in that challenging environment. It does this by conveying the knowledge and instilling the skills and dispositions listed in the sidebar under AREAS OF STUDY and SKILLS & DISPOSITIONS. In brief, to study philosophy is to cultivate excellent workplace skills while studying some of the most important, compelling, and difficult questions that all of us face.
The philosophy major requires 36 credits. The philosophy minor requires 18 credits. See the current Ithaca College Undergraduate Catalog for details.
Religion is one of the most pervasive, persistent, and influential components of human life. It has been an enormous source of value for many people and an enormous source of puzzlement and even hostility for others. The joint major in philosophy and religion gives students an opportunity to study religions, old and new, large and small, in a sensitive yet scholarly way, and to learn to bring the tools of philosophical analysis, clarification, and evaluation to bear upon what is studied. This major is recommended for students who want to understand religion and spirituality more deeply and who want an opportunity to study diverse religions in a nonpartisan context. The major provides a solid background for students who want to do graduate studies in religion, prepare for the ministry, or prepare for counseling or service positions that need someone who is sensitive to and knowledgeable about the religious dimension of life.
Students who want to study religion more extensively than the joint major allows should consult the religion faculty about the possibility of an interdisciplinary planned studies major in religion. Such a major would focus on a topic of great interest to the student and would draw on relevant courses from several departments in addition to the Department of Philosophy and Religion. Examples of possible topics are religion and counseling, religion and society, and religion and the arts.
The joint major in philosophy and religion requires 36 total credits in philosophy and religion, including
- At least 12 credits in philosophy (at least 6 of which are at the 300 and/or 400 level), and
- At least 12 credits in religion (at least 6 of which are at the 300 and/or 400 level)
The minor in religious studies requires 18 credits in religion distributed over a minimum of 6 courses, at least two of which must be at the 300- and/or 400-level.
See the current Ithaca College Undergraduate Catalog for details.

NWS: Christmas tornado hits Lawrence County
At least 7 hurt in Monticello
From Texas to Alabama there's damage from more than 30 possible Christmas Day tornadoes.
The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down in Lawrence County. Officials in Monticello said at least seven people were hurt in the storm.
"December the 25th 2012, we'll never forget it, said Janice Banks, who wasn't hurt but lost her home.
Banks was with three family members on Christmas, when a storm bore down on her mobile home in Monticello.
"We went in that laundry room, and we didn't have nothing to cover us up and we just grabbed each other," said Banks.
The storm ripped apart the walls but spared her family. The winds blew insulation onto nearby trees like snow.
Banks' daughter, Desarae, was on her way to the house along with her three children when the storm hit.
"I panicked, and I just kept coming towards this way and their phones wasn't picking up," she said.
The family was still able to make the most of Christmas.
"We sat up there and opened our gifts in the dark, right up under the carport, and we had our Christmas," Banks said. "
In the same town, a fireworks stand suffered more than $20,000 in damage.
"Nobody got hurt, and that's the main thing. We can replace any of this stuff and start over, but I can't replace a life," said owner Robbie Covington.

Official struck during vehicle pursuit
Driver involved in series of accidents during brief chase
Amherst police arrested a Massachusetts woman for a series of accidents during a brief chase beginning in the town of Milford all the way into Amherst.
Cheryl Nelson, 44, of Tyngsborough, Mass., attempted to escape police when she refused to stop for them while going down Spring Road in Amherst near the Merrimack town line, officers said.
According to officials, Nelson crashed her vehicle into an Amherst police car that was being driven by Sgt. Patrick Webster.
Webster was transported to the hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He was later released.
The New Hampshire State Police was called to help handle the situation after the accident occurred, according to department protocol.
Nelson was charged with multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including reckless conduct, resisting arrest, simple assault, conduct after an accident, driving while intoxicated and criminal mischief.
Police said Nelson is currently being held on $25,000 cash bail while her arraignment date is set.
This incident is still under investigation.

CLAAS dual-purpose wagon | CARGOS 9600-9400 – the benefits for you.
Matchless additional transport capacity.
With a permissible gross weight of up to 34 tonnes, the CARGOS 9600 and 9500 models beat just about every other dual-purpose wagon for efficiency hands down.
Thanks to the increased number of uprights, and consequently the reduced upright clearance, you'll be rock-steady even with a full load. A further argument for the stability of the CARGOS is that it is approved for wood chip transport.
Load volume.
Like its predecessor models, the new CARGOS 9000 is available with maximum load volumes of 50, 44 and 38 m3.
The CARGOS 9000 can also be equipped with platform gate extensions. These are easy to attach, and can be retrofitted at any time. The platform gate extensions increase the load capacity of all three models by 2.5 m3.
Modular tandem or tridem chassis.
The CARGOS 9000 is equipped with parabolic or hydraulic suspension according to requirements, with a choice of trailed and electrohydraulic positive steering.
Protects the forage, and is agile and efficient: the EFS, with 500-mm lowering of the scraper floor, ensures even better crop flow and a further increase in load capacity in conjunction with reduced power requirements.
Two cuts are better than one.
The double-bladed knives with razor-sharp edges can be easily reversed, reducing downtime in the field.
|Load volume
|Load volume with medium compression
2 With platform gate extension
"I thoroughly recommend the CARGOS."
Contractor Jens Breuer helps some 20 customers in the Voreifel region with his CARGOS 9600 and 9500 machines. He chose the electrohydraulic positive steering option, because he travels by road a lot and there are a number of narrow roads in this area. "Despite its size, the CARGOS 9000 is extremely stable on slopes. That's really important here." Breuer also appreciates the excellent service CLAAS provides, including customer service, and the results he is able to achieve. "Because the unloading is very good, so is the material density, and also the quality of the cut – even with difficult crops such as agricultural grass."
- Four sets of perfectly ground cutting edges with AQUA NON STOP COMFORT and the CARGOS knife-sharpening management system.AQUA NON STOP
- High-quality spare and remanufactured parts and a select range of accessories are available for each and every CLAAS machine.Service + Parts

(CNN) - Winter is coming and so might another "Game of Thrones" prequel.
HBO isn't saying anything, but Deadline reported that author George R.R. Martin is working on a project set roughly 300 years before the series.
It would be all about what led to the fall of House Targaryen, one of the major ruling families featured in Martin's books and the hugely popular series which ended its run in May.
Martin says he's basing the potential series on his book "Fire and Blood."
HBO has already made another related pilot that takes place thousands of years before "Game of Thrones," though they haven't ordered a full series just yet.

Arts education takes center stage
NEA provides educators with resources during National Arts in Education Week
WASHINGTON - September 10, 2010 -
The arts play an important role in providing students with a well-rounded education. National Arts in Education Week, celebrated September 12th-18th, offers opportunities to focus attention on the imperative to offer students a variety of learning experiences. During this year's observance of National Arts in Education Week, the National Education Association is offering a number of resources on its website, including background information, teaching ideas and interactive tools to help educators incorporate the arts into the classroom. The Association's website also will include details on grants, scholarships and contests relative the arts in education.
"When a student is captivated by the brushstrokes of Picasso's paintings, the agony of Shakespeare's Macbeth, or the rhythm of Duke Ellington's music, doors to a brilliant world of imagination burst open," said Dennis Van Roekel, president of NEA. "Every student in every school should have access to the power of the arts."
In addition to sparking creativity and engaging students, researchers say arts education has academic benefits as well. Studies point to links between the arts and improved achievement in selected areas, including reasoning and verbal skills for students from both advantaged and disadvantaged homes.
"We must focus on educating the whole child," Van Roekel added. "Students should be exposed to a broad and rich curriculum that includes not only math and reading, but courses and clubs that focus on dance, music, art, theater and other creative disciplines. The arts are important. They enrich our lives. They have always offered ways to learn and express ideas."
In addition to offering resources for educators on its website, NEA is working with the Arts Education Partnership. The Partnership also has created a site for sharing information about National Arts in Education Week activities and arts education policy and practice in states and communities.

World number one Victoria Azarenka stormed into the Qatar Open quarter-finals on Thursday with a ruthless 6-0, 6-0 triumph over highly-regarded American Christina McHale.
Defending champion Azarenka, who is at risk of losing her top ranking to Serena Williams this week, produced a relentlessly forcing performance over McHale, a 20-year-old who has already posted seven victories over top 10 opponents.
The top-seeded Belarussian needed little more than an hour to remove the unfortunate American from her path into the last eight, a performance whose control, aggression, and intensity was all the more stunning for happening amidst swirling conditions where consistency was difficult to achieve.
The way in which Azarenka completed the Valentine's Day rout also suggested that she may well be the genuine favourite to retain her Qatar Open title, as a sequel to her gutsy retention of the Australian Open title last month.
"Everything was working for me today," she said. "When I stepped on court I felt my game. When I had a couple of difficult games I stayed focussed and took advantage of that, and that was the key.
"Christina has played some excellent matches and had some big wins and so I had to stay focussed. I think I got rid of my frustrations (with the windy weather) yesterday."
Remarkable though it may sound, McHale played by no means badly.
It was only in the last game, in which she committed three double faults, that she crumbled. But although she often hung in well in the rallies, she did not have the weapons to hurt the champion.
Azarenka next faces Sara Errani, the world number seven from Italy, in a half of the draw which also contains Agnieszka Radwanska, the fourth-seeded Pole who was her semi-final opponent last year, and Caroline Wozniacki, the former world number one from Denmark.
Radwanska advanced with a craftily constructed 6-1, 7-6 (8/6) win over Ana Ivanovic, the former French Open champion from Serbia.
Radwanska's reward is a quarter-final with Wozniacki, who survived a testing encounter by 7-6 (8/6), 6-3 against Mona Barthel on an even windier outside court. The German led 5-3 in the tie-break in conditions in which the ball sometimes threatened to bounce over the back stop, and where one or two line decisions had Wozniacki's father-coach Piotr screaming at the umpire.
"It was all about somehow surviving out there," said Wozniacki ruefully.
She had a consolation though — a Valentine's Day bouquet of roses from boyfriend Rory McIlroy, the world's number one golfer.Published 15 Feb 2013, 00:08 IST

April, 1968 issue. I believe this would be a southern publication. The original mailing label has been partially removed. Slight yellowing with age. I have never sold any of my magazines before and am not sure of what information is needed for interested parties. I do not remove ads to sell separately because it makes me sad to cut them apart, even though it would probably be more profitable to do so...

Swimming Hosts W&M on Saturday for Senior Day
By ODU Athletics
Jan. 24, 2013
NORFOLK, Va. – The Old Dominion University men's and women's swimming teams will be back in action against William and Mary at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 26 in the J.C. "Scrap" Chandler Pool located in the Student Recreational Center. Saturday will also be Senior Day for Old Dominion. The Senior Day ceremony will begin at 12:30 p.m.
Saturday will mark the last home meet for eight ODU swimmers: Kimberley Rashleigh, Kimberley Rashleigh, Ashley Luchsinger and Morgan Johnson won the 400-yard freestyle. Rashleigh also finished first in the 200-yard backstroke and the 200-yard IM races. Yesim Giresunlu won the 500-yard freestyle; while Jessica Hubert placed first in the 100-yard butterfly.
The Old Dominion men are currently 3-3 in their meets so far this season. The Lady Monarchs are 6-4.
William and Mary's men are currently 5-3 overall and 2-1 in the CAA. W&M's women are 5-6 overall and 2-2 in the CAA.
Saturday will also mark another event in the "Optima Health Challenge". Last year was the beginning of the tradition between the Old Dominion University Monarchs and the William & Mary Tribe. During the athletic season of 2012 through 2013 this historic rivalry will continue in the form of the "Optima Health Challenge". Sponsored by the Hampton Roads based Optima Health, the trophy will be presented annually to the school which accumulates the most points in head-to-head competitions in all sports. At the conclusion of the 2011-2012 athletic year, the Monarchs rose above to claim the first ever trophy with more head-to-head wins over the Tribe.
This school year, ODU and W&M will face off 15 times, with each event being worth 10 points. William and Mary currently leads Old Dominion 25-20. A total of 20 points (10 points for men, 10 points for women) will be on the line Saturday. The winner of the challenge is presented a replica of the Norfolk Mace.

Men can continue to reproduce late in life with little or no risk to themselves. But being an old dad might have serious repercussions for the child—a study published in the journal Nature found a that older fathers are more likely to have a kid with autism or schizophrenia because of random mutations that develop in their genes as they age.
It's not a reason not to sire a kid later in life—a guy in his 40s has a 2 percent chance of having a kid with one of these disorders. But the study does point out that the recent autism boom has something to do with the rising average age of fathers. Sorry old man dads, you could account for as much as 30 percent of cases.
There was no such correlation for older mothers, though there are a whole slew of risks to carrying a child at a more advanced age. The study does, however, debunk the myth that most of the responsibility for passing on developmental problems lies in the genes of an old mom. While these mamas still have a higher risk for having a baby with Downs Syndrome, the psychological and developmental issues come from daddy. In short, having a kid in your 40s might not mean being the oldest dad at graduation, but it does open your offspring up to a host of potential developmental issues. [New York Times]

The Japanese earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 is still being discussed three years later, particularly in relation to the catastrophic meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Faced with a lack of available official information on Fukushima and its effects, millions have tried to educate themselves on the Internet. People's Facebook feeds are suddenly awash with alarming news and confusing YouTube videos. Some have even sworn off seafood. Almost three years after the meltdown, there has been a recent tidal wave of Fukushima stories - some true, some half-true and some outright falsehoods. Stories of men with Geiger counters strolling radioactive beaches in California, fearful warnings from respected public figures and toxic fish tales are spreading around the globe like plumes of radiation on the currents of social media. Are you freaked out by Fukushima? Are you not sure what to think? Neither were we, so we went to the people who should know, to separate the science from the science section.
Here are five Fukushima fears you may be wondering about, answered by the experts - including nuclear physicists, oceanographers, marine biologists, a public health expert, an internationally renowned energy analyst and a couple of sushi chefs.
You may have seen this arresting image online. You may have even shared it on Facebook.
This map, supposedly showing radiation spreading across the ocean from Japan, was one of the most widespread pieces of Fukushima (mis) information — it was also one of the easiest myths to debunk. We just went to the source.
The map was produced by the U.S. government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, and spokeswoman Keeley Belva confirmed the map doesn't show the spread of radiation.
According to their website: "This image was created by NOAA's Center for Tsunami Research and graphically shows maximum wave heights of the tsunami generated by the Japan earthquake on March 11, 2011.
"It does not represent levels of radiation from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant." The map has become "an oceanographer's in-joke," according to Robin Brown, manager of ocean sciences for Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Two months ago, Brown gave a seminar to 40 oceanographers and showed a slide of the infamous NOAA map with the headline, "West Coast Fried by Radiation." The room burst out laughing, Brown said, but their chuckles were "tinged with a bit of sadness."
"I felt so sorry for NOAA," he said. "It's a bit of a cautionary tale about how your good work could possibly show up in a place you didn't expect."
The bottom line: Yes, it's a real map, but it doesn't show radiation.
If Vancouverites start talking about avoiding sushi, there must be something dramatic going on.
"I do get a lot of questions from customers," said Keith Allison, chef and manager of Sea Monstr Sushi in Gastown.
"On Monday, I had a customer saying, 'How's it been? How's that Fukushima thing going?'" Allison, who was born in Hokkaido, Japan, and raised in Vancouver, said he's noticed the rumours picking up recently, and when business slowed down in recent months, he wondered if Fukushima concerns could be a factor. Business is still OK, Allison said, but he's selling more vegetarian items and less seafood, even though most of the fish he uses is from B.C., not Japan.
Local scientific testing of seafood is being done. A team of scientists from Oregon State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association tested 70 pounds of tuna caught off the U.S. West Coast and found trace amounts of Fukushima radiation, but "nowhere near enough to be concerned about food safety."
The OSU's Delvan Neville, a coinvestigator on the project, said: "To increase their normal annual dosage of radiation by just one per cent, a person would have to eat more than 4,000 pounds of the highest (radiation)-level albacore we've seen."
Dr. Erica Frank, a public health expert at the University of B.C., has heard the fears around seafood and wishes the Canadian government would do a better job communicating with the public.
"My assessment is that right now, public alarm is greater than actual public health risk," she said, adding that she has been trying to get food-testing data from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for more than a year.
The CFIA conducted special tests in 2011 and '12 for radioactive material in domestically caught seafood. All those results, which are available on the CFIA website, were well below action limits, according to the CFIA.
The bottom line: There is no discernible Fukushima-related risk in eating seafood, especially if it's locally caught. If you want to be extra cautious, avoid fish from Japan.
One of the most dire and widely shared Fukushima warnings came in October from one of Vancouver's favourite scientific sons.
Dr. David Suzuki, speaking at the University of Alberta, said: "I have seen a paper which says that if, in fact, the fourth (nuclear) plant goes under in an earthquake and those (fuel) rods are exposed, it's bye-bye Japan and everybody on the West Coast of North America should evacuate," he said. "If that isn't terrifying, I don't know what is."
Suzuki's statements made waves. "David Suzuki's Fukushima Warning is Dire and Scary," read the Huffington Post headline.
The David Suzuki Foundation says the paper Suzuki cited was the 2013 World Nuclear Industry Status Report, a 140-page paper written by an international group of scientists who concluded that "the worst-case scenario" if the fuel pool of Fukushima's Unit 4 collapses again, is it could require "evacuation of up to 10 million people in a 250-kilometre radius of Fukushima." It's a frightening warning, but there's no mention of evacuating the West Coast. The Province reached out to the respected lead author of that report, France-based nuclear energy analyst Mycle Schneider.
"I'm indeed a little confused about David's statement," said Schneider. "To be very clear, I have never seen any credible source for a scenario implying the evacuation of the West Coast of North America. In fact, much of the attitude of people on the West Coast - like no more swimming in the ocean - seems utterly disconnected from reality. "I'm really, really shocked about the way it's being discussed in Canada. It's just totally insane."
Suzuki replied to The Province by email when asked to clarify his comments, saying his October statement was "an off-the-cuff response."
He said he knew his speech was being recorded, but didn't know it would end up on the Internet.
"I regret having said it, although my sense of potential widespread disaster remains and the need for an urgent international response to dealing with the spent rods at Fukushima also remains," Suzuki said.
The bottom line: According to nuclear physicists, there's never been a warning about evacuating the West Coast.
When sea stars (starfish) were found to be dying off in massive numbers off the B.C. coast, fingers were quickly pointed at Fukushima as the cause.
"Crazy talk," said Dr. Chris Mah, a sea-star expert and researcher at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Mah first broke the story of B.C.'s mass sunflower sea-star die-off in September 2013.
He said it's not clear what's causing the "starfish-wasting syndrome," but he listed several facts that make a direct relationship to Fukushima seem extremely unlikely, including the most compelling argument: starfish-wasting syndrome was recorded in B.C. three years before the Fukushima disaster. But it's not only sea stars. People have tried to link Japanese radiation to depleted salmon stocks, deformed whales and even a spike in miscarriages in the Pacific Northwest.
Robin Brown, a Sidney-based DFO oceanographer, is familiar with people's desire to explain surprising new phenomena.
"It's a very human thing to do. We see something unusual, and we try and match it up with something else unusual that happened at the same time," Brown said.
The bottom line: It may be our nature to want to explain the unexplainable by connecting events — but that's not how science works.
A YouTube clip made the rounds last month in which an unidentified man claims to find "shocking" levels of radiation on a California beach using a hand-held geiger counter.
The clip has now racked up more than 700,000 views, and caught the attention of the California Department of Public Health.
In January, DPH inspectors visited the same area.
The radiation levels found were close to those shown in the video, said California DPH spokeswoman Wendy Hopkins, but added those radiation levels are "due to naturally occurring materials and not radioactivity associated with the Fukushima incident."
Dr. Krzysztof Starosta, a nuclear scientist and associate professor at Simon Fraser University, explained that a geiger counter just doesn't work that way.
"What they've seen is natural radioactivity," said Starosta. "There's no way the geiger counter on the West Coast could detect anything remotely related to Fukushima." The DFO regularly tests sea water off of our coast, sending a vessel off Vancouver Island's western coast three times a year with scientists looking for isotopes of cesium-134.
"The important thing about cesium-134 is that you can be certain that it came from Fukushima," said Brown. "Because all other sources of cesium-134, primarily from weapons testing and Chernobyl, will all have decayed."
In June 2011, three months after the meltdown, no traces of cesium-134 were found. The following year, trace amounts were detected, but only at the westernmost testing point - 1,500 km west of Vancouver Island.
By June 2013, the Fukushima radiation was detected closer to the B.C. coast, but still well below the limits of human concern.
The bottom line: Measurable amounts of isotopes from Fukushima have travelled across the Pacific. But you will receive a more substantial dose of radiation during an airplane flight - from normal cosmic radiation — than swimming off the coast of Tofino.

2013 World Triathlon Series scales new heights in Kitzbühel
By Merryn Sherwood on 02/07/13 at 2:51 pm
2013 WTS Kitzbuehel PreRace Triangle
It's set to be one of the most unique races in the history of the ITU World Triathlon Series, that's before even factoring in the stellar start lists in Kitzbühel this weekend. Instead of the usual Olympic distance format of a 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run, this year's race in the small Austrian alpine town has been designed around the famous Kitzbühel Horn. It starts with a sprint 750m swim, followed by a 11.55km cycle leg. The bike includes 867m of climbing, with a gradient of between 17 and 22 percent in the final 1km. But the athletes won't be finished just there, with a final 2.55km run to come, including another 136m of elevation to the finish line at Alpine House. Click here to view the course.
Elite Men's Preview
Kitzbühel is significant when it comes to the 2013 WTS series, as it's the first time 2013 that the London 2012 Olympic men's podium will hit the start line together. While Jonathan Brownlee, Alistair Brownlee and Javier Gomez have so far won each of the four titles between them this year, it's the first time the sport's three heavyweights line-up against each other this year. What's more, this race could be critical when it comes to calculating the overall 2013 ITU World Championship.
Currently, at the halfway point of the season, Gomez leads Portugal's Joao Silva by almost 700 points, closely followed behind by Spain's Mario Mola in third. Defending ITU World Champion Jonathan Brownlee currently sits in sixth place, with two wins from two races, while Alistair is back in 14th place with just one win. A win here for Jonathan Brownlee would be a big step in defending his title, while for Gomez it could be key to claiming his third ITU world title. A win for Alistair keeps him in the frame.
And while it's wise to keep an eye on the hatrick of Olympic medallists, don't be surprised if this intriguing course throws up a wildcard. First in line for that honour would have to be Russia's Ivan Vasiliev. The Russian powerhouse started to show he is a serious contender in Olympic qualification last year. In Madrid last month he broke through for his first World Triathlon Series podium. Just a few weeks later he took home his first European championship. Vasiliev has shown repeatedly he can keep up with the sports powerhouse trio on the bike, and will no doubt attack on the climb.
Also watch for consistent WTS podium finishes Sven Riederer and Alexander Bryukhankov. The Russian has had a rotten year with luck and has hardly finished a race, but when he's on form he can bike with the best, and Riederer is always a threat. The fleet-footed Mola, Steffen Justus, Laurent Vidal, Vincent Luis and Richard Murray could also be in touch if within reach from T2.
Elite Women's Preview
The USA's Gwen Jorgensen has been on fire so far this year and will toe the start line in the No.1 in Austria, but how she has won so far throws up questions about this race. Each time, she's started with a deficit from the leaders on the bike leg and then used her brilliant 10km run splits to reel in those in front. In Kitzbühel, there is only 2.55km of running track to do that. Unless Jorgensen can leave T2 with the leaders she might not have enough ground to catch them up.
It puts the two women sitting just behind her in the rankings with a good chance to take the overall lead. Sitting in second place is Anne Haug, who has made a name for herself over gutsy solo breaks over the past two WTS seasons. While in the past she's needed to after usually falling behind across the 1500m swim, the first leg in Austria this year is a sprint, at 750m, and then it's all about the hill. A solo breakaway off the front from the German wouldn't be surprising.
Great Britain's Jodie Stimpson is currently in third place and is another that can't be discounted on on both past results and current form. In the middle of what is her best ITU year so far, Stimpson can be expected to be in the contenders up front.
It's also hard to discount two of the season's other in-form women, Non Stanford and Felicity Abram. While Stanford's stellar run helped her to climb onto the Madrid podium last month, it's worth remembering that she claimed last year's U23 World Championship on a bike course labelled one of the toughest ever, Auckland. Earlier this year Abram did the bulk of the work in a lead pack on the same course, on her way to a bronze medal.
Others that will surely contend include France's Jessica Harrison, Ireland's Aileen Reid, the USA's Sarah Groff, Australia's Emma Moffatt and Ashleigh Gentle, New Zealand's Andrea Hewitt, Nicky Samuels and Kate McIlroy. McIlroy already has a fondness for scaling mountains on foot, she won a world championship in mountain running in 2005. It's been an outstanding year for the Netherlands team, so also keep an eye on Maaike Caelers after scoring a silver in Auckland and Rachel Klamer breaking through to win her first European title just last month.
The elite men start the day in Kitzbühel at 1.05pm local time on Saturday July 6, while the women will follow at 4:25pm. Follow the events live @triathlonlive and online at triathlon.org/tv.
