Traditionally PostgreSQL has been regarded as the heavyweight of the two, the Oracle equivalent, in contrast to the cheap and cheerful, SQL Server-like MySQL. PostgreSQL has been the choice for on line transaction processing, MySQL for websites.
PostgreSQL had the reputation of performing poorly in web applications, which was blamed on its feature-heaviness, but performance has improved dramatically in recent releases.
PostgreSQL is also available in two commercial implementations which emphasise its mission-critical capabilities: Greenplum's massively parallel version for data warehousing, and EnterpriseDB's Oracle clone Postgres Plus, which claims 99.99 per cent availability.
IBM and NTT are major investors in EnterpriseDB. The Postgres version of SQL, PL/pgSQL, has always been similar to Oracle's PL/SQL, and the PostgreSQL team and supporting companies have been pushing PostgreSQL to Oracle migration for years.
Even with 24/7 commercial support from Sun, Unisys and other service companies, PostgreSQL can be rolled out at a fraction of the cost of Oracle. Once other factors such as tools and skills availability are included, the cost advantage is less clear, however, and Gartner Group suggests that "total cost of ownership" of open source databases may still be higher than their commercial equivalents.
Where did it originate?
Michael Stonebraker, creator of Ingres, began work on Postgres in 1986 at UC Berkeley, California. An early commercial version of Postgres, Illustra, became part of the Informix Universal Server.
What is it for?
PostgreSQL's "enterprise-class" features include a query optimiser (also recently added by Sun to MySQL), Multi-Version Concurrency Control, point-in-time recovery, asynchronous replication and hot backups. As well as its own PL/pgSQL, PostgreSQL can run stored procedures in Java, C/C++, Perl, Python, Ruby and Tcl. PostgreSQL includes a framework allowing developers to define and create their own custom data types along with supporting functions and operators that define their behaviour. PostgreSQL 8.3, which became generally available last spring, added ANSI standard SQL/XML support.
For administrators, there are a number of graphical alternatives to the psql command line, including phpPgAdmin, based on an interface written for MySQL.
Sun has optimised PostgreSQL to take advantage of Solaris technologies such as native DTrace Probes, Solaris Containers (which allow Linux and other applications to run on Solaris), and predictive self-healing.
What makes it special?
According to analyst Robin Bloor, 2008 was the year that petabyte databases became manageable. Bloor says Greenplum, based on the PostgreSQL engine, is "architected for the petabyte world and can load data at a speed above 4.5 terabytes per hour - which is neat, given that it doesn't just write the data to disk, but actually organises it to enable fast queries".
How difficult is it to master?
You will need a good grasp of SQL. There are two-day retraining courses for experienced DBAs.
Where is it used?
Major users include BASF, Yahoo, Skype and NTT. PostgreSQL is widely used in the public sector in the US and across Europe.
What systems does it run on?
Linux, all major versions of Unix, Mac OSX, and a recent port to Windows with Visual C++ compilation.
What's coming up?
A community-driven PostgreSQL skills certication project is under way.
Rates of pay
Developers and DBAs earn £25,000 to £45,000.

10-year Cognition in Preterms After Random Assignment to Fatty Acid Supplementation in Infancy
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation in infancy would improve cognition into later childhood (after 9 years) at both general and specific levels.
METHODS: A comprehensive cognitive battery was completed by 107 formerly preterm infants (mean age: 128 months). As infants, they had been assigned randomly to receive LCPUFA-supplemented (N = 50) or control (N = 57) formula, between birth and 9 months; the docosahexaenoic acid level (DHA) in the supplemented formulas was 0.5%. In addition to randomized comparisons, we planned supplementary analyses to examine the effects of both gender and feeding group (those receiving some maternal breast milk versus those receiving none).
RESULTS: There were no significant differences between randomized diet groups on any cognitive measure. There was significant interaction between gender and supplementation; girls only showed beneficial effects of LCPUFAs on literacy. Significant interaction also occurred between feeding group and supplementation; increases of 0.7 SD in verbal IQ, full-scale IQ, and memory scores were found for the LCPUFA group, but only for infants who received only formula and no maternal breast milk.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this post–9-year cognitive follow-up study in a randomized trial of LCPUFA-supplemented formula for preterm infants suggest no overall group effects but indicate that gender-specific and diet-specific effects may exist. The data provide some evidence that LCPUFAs are a key factor in the cognitive benefits of breast milk. Caution is advised in data interpretation because of the small groups used.

Systematic reviews of preterm infant formula supplementation with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids have found no cognitive effects up to 2 years of age. To date, however, studies that examined general and specific cognition >9 years after early supplementation have not been published.
No cognitive differences were found at 10 years between randomized groups. Planned gender analyses, however, revealed benefits for girls in literacy measures. Furthermore, supplementation for infants who received formula as their sole diet produced advantages in several cognitive measures.
There has been considerable interest in the role of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) in the development of visual and cognitive functioning.1,–,3 Three key hypotheses underpin this research, as follows. (1) Formula-fed infants, especially preterm infants, cannot synthesize LCPUFAs adequately for optimal neurodevelopment and need a dietary supply. (2) The absence of LCPUFA supplementation in previous formulas contributed to lower cognitive scores observed for formula-fed versus breastfed infants. (3) Supplementation of infant formulas with LCPUFAs improves cognitive development.
Despite some inconsistencies, data from numerous studies on the effects of LCPUFA supplementation of infant formulas on development4,–,6 have driven a major public health intervention, whereby LCPUFAs are added to most formulas for the large majority of Western infants who consume formula at some point during infancy. However, 2 systematic reviews of 29 randomized controlled trials studying the effects of LCPUFAs for term7 and preterm8 infants concluded that there was no consistent effect of formula supplementation with LCPUFAs on cognition or visual function.
There were 2 important shortcomings in the trial results reviewed. First, the majority of studies focused on overall cognition, particularly general measures of mental and psychomotor development from the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID-II).9 Groups that score the same on overall cognitive function tests may still demonstrate significant differences in specific aspects of cognition, however, and it is important to test for such differences, as pointed out by Cheatham et al.10 Although some studies looked for specific effects,11 most did not. Second, the randomized trials reviewed by Simmer et al7,8 examined mainly children younger than 2 years and no children aged 4 years or older. To date, few data have been obtained from follow-up studies into later childhood (≥10 years),12 particularly pertaining to specific cognitive functions. Some functions, such as literacy and numeracy, are unquantifiable in young children, and any selective influence of LCPUFAs on those functions could not be have been detected.
Here, we administered a detailed cognitive battery at 10 years to members of a preterm cohort who had been assigned randomly to receive LCPUFA-supplemented formula or control formula between birth and 9 months of age. We aimed to test the hypothesis that early LCPUFA administration would have a long-term (ie, ≥10-year) programming effect on neurodevelopmental outcomes, providing evidence to help underpin public health practice in this much-studied area of infant nutrition.
Original Trial Intervention
To summarize the original trial,13 preterm infants without congenital malformations with neurodevelopmental consequences, with birth weights of <2000 g, and with gestational ages of <35 weeks were recruited from NICUs between 1995 and 1997. Infants who were receiving at least some feedings as formula milk during hospitalization were assigned (through random permuted block allocation) to receive a LCPUFA-supplemented formula or a control formula, up to 9 months after term; preterm infant formula was used until discharge, followed by a nutrient-enriched postdischarge formula (see Tables 1 and 2 for details on the formulas). The DHA content of 0.5% in the supplemented formula (from borage and tuna oils) was high, compared with the level of 0.32 ± 0.22% reported as a worldwide mean for human breast milk14 and the level of 0.3% typically added to preterm formulas. The infants were monitored intensively in the NICU by research nurses, who collected data on clinical progress, and made home visits after discharge. The primary cognitive efficacy outcome was neurodevelopment at corrected age of 18 months, as measured with the BSID-II.9 Because mothers often provided breast milk in addition to formula, a prior decision was made to group the infants according to whether the trial formula was the sole diet or a supplement to maternal breast milk.
Ten-Year Follow-up Study
All surviving children from the original study were approached regarding participation, with ethics approval from the local research ethics committee. One hundred seven children (51 boys and 56 girls) were seen at a mean age of 128 months (range: 113–147 months); 57 children (26 boys and 31 girls) were originally assigned randomly to the control formula group and 50 (25 boys and 25 girls) to the supplemented formula group (Fig 1). Participants were seen at a children's hospital or at home for detailed cognitive assessment. Anthropometric, body composition, and blood pressure measurements were reported separately.15 Maternal education was scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (no educational qualifications) to 5 (degree/further training). Social codes ranged from 1 (high) to 7 (low). Written informed consent was obtained from the parent/guardian, and assent was obtained from the child. A sample size of 64 children per randomly assigned group (follow-up rate of 66%) would allow detection of a 0.5-SD difference in outcome variables with 80% power and 5% significance. The number we recruited at age 10 represented a rate of 45%, which was powered to detect a 0.6-SD difference.
Cognitive Measures
Tests were administered by 1 researcher, who was blinded to formula allocation. The most global score for any test was used as the main outcome measure. Any significant difference between groups in a main outcome measure was explored further through examination of subtest scores.
The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence16 provided measures of verbal IQ (VIQ) (vocabulary and similarities subtests), performance IQ (matrix reasoning and block design subtests), and full-scale IQ (FSIQ) (all 4 subtests).
Neuropsychological Assessment
The Neuropsychological Test for Children,17 a standardized neuropsychological assessment, provided scores for memory and language domains. The tower subtest from the attention/executive domain also was administered.
Additional Memory Measure
Because hippocampal function in particular has been associated with LCPUFA status,18 we included a test of association learning (for which the hippocampus is thought to be important19), namely, the word pairs subtest from the Children's Memory Scale (CMS).20
Academic Attainments
The Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Second UK Edition,21 measured attainments in numeracy (numerical operations subtest), literacy (word reading and pseudoword decoding), and spelling.
The Test of Everyday Attention for Children22 measures aspects of visual and auditory attention. We used Sky Search (selective/focused attention), Score! (sustained attention), Sky Search DT (sustained/divided attention), Creature Counting, and Opposite Worlds (attentional control/switching).
Statistical Analyses
Primary Analyses
Group comparisons for baseline characteristics were performed for (1) those seen versus those not seen at the follow-up evaluation and (2) randomly assigned diet groups. The 2 randomly assigned diet groups then were compared with respect to the main outcome measures by using t tests.
Preplanned Supplementary Analyses
Comparisons were performed (1) for each feeding group (formula as the sole diet or as a supplement to maternal breast milk) and (2) within each gender. We used analysis of variance to test for dietary interactions within each comparison, to provide additional evidence of any causal subgroup effect.
General Characteristics
Table 3 presents baseline data for children who were seen versus not seen at the 10-year follow-up evaluation. Children who were seen had significantly lower gestational ages and were more likely to have received maternal breast milk, but there were no significant differences in socioeconomic factors between these groups. Table 4 presents characteristics of the 2 randomly assigned diet groups at 10 years of age and shows a significant difference in social code values.
Primary Analyses of Whole Group
Cognitive measures for the randomly assigned groups were compared by using t tests; data are presented in Table 5. Differences between the control and supplemented formula groups with respect to general and specific cognitive outcomes were small (rarely exceeding 0.3 SD), and none reached a significance level of P = .05. Because of social code differences reported above, all analyses were repeated with the use of that factor as a covariate, but the pattern remained the same.
Planned Supplementary Analyses According to Feeding Group
The diet for 39 children consisted solely of the trial formulas (control formula: 23 children; supplemented formula: 16 children). Another 68 children received some breast milk during their hospital stays, in addition to the randomly assigned formula used to meet volume requirements (control formula: 34 children; supplemented formula: 34 children); the mean proportion of breast milk in the diet during hospitalization was 29% (control formula: 28%; supplemented formula: 29%). Table 6 presents characteristics according to diet group; there was a significant difference in social codes between diet groups among those who received formula only. We conducted a nonrandomized comparison between the diet groups within each feeding group and then analyses controlling for social code, because of this group difference, and for maternal education in case of residual confounding.
These analyses were conducted for all cognitive outcome measures; significant results are presented in Table 7. Among the 39 children fed only formula, there were differences between groups in overall VIQ and FSIQ scores. Examination of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence subtest results showed differences on the 2 verbal subtests. Table 7 also shows that the supplemented formula group had significantly higher CMS word-pair learning scores (significance levels after covariance: VIQ: P = .005; FSIQ: P = .04; CMS: P = .07). No significant differences existed between randomized diet groups within the breastfed group with respect to any cognitive measure.
Before testing for interactions between feeding group and diet for the significant cognitive outcomes, we examined baseline characteristics of the 2 feeding groups and found significant differences in gestational age, birth weight, duration of ventilation, maternal education, and social class. Two-way analyses of variance, with those factors as covariates, showed significant interactions between diet and feeding group for VIQ scores (P = .002), FSIQ scores (P = .04), and CMS word-pair learning scaled scores (P = .05).
Planned Supplementary Analyses According to Gender
In planned analyses according to gender for all cognitive outcomes, significant differences between diet groups were seen only for girls and only for 2 measures of academic attainment from the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, 1 at a trend level (Table 8). Girls who received supplemented formula had mean scores that were ≥0.5 SD higher than those of the control group; no effects of diet were seen for boys. The gender difference was supported by interactions between gender and diet for both word reading (P = .07) and spelling (P = .02).
Explanatory Analyses
We compared the 2 groups of girls with respect to a range of possible confounding factors (birth weight, gestational age, social code, maternal age, maternal education, paternal education, Apgar score at 5 minutes, time in the hospital, and duration of ventilation), because this was a nonrandomized comparison; they differed significantly only in the duration of ventilation (median: control formula: 0.00 days; supplemented formula: 2.0 days; P = .01). This difference should have minimized the dietary effect, because cognitive scores would be expected to be lower in the group that required more ventilation, and, after adjustment for duration of ventilation, the significance of the dietary effects was increased (word reading: P = .02; spelling: P = .02).
This study is the first, to our knowledge, to investigate the effects of early administration of LCPUFAs on cognition in later childhood, (after 9 years of age), by using an extensive assessment battery to test for specific or subtle effects. As at 18 months,13 we found no overall difference in cognitive outcomes between randomly assigned groups. Planned subgroup analyses, however, demonstrated significant advantages for girls who received LCPUFA supplementation with respect to 2 indices of literacy (word reading and spelling), as well as providing some evidence that the cognitive benefits of breast milk versus formula feeding are related to the LCPUFA content of breast milk, which has been a matter of debate.6,7,26
For 10-year-old girls, supplementation was associated with improved performance in single-word reading accuracy and spelling. No other cognitive measures differentiated the groups, but the fact that these are 2 separate measures of a single cognitive domain adds credence to the finding. The girls who had received LCPUFA-supplemented formula had scores on both tests that were ∼0.5 SD higher than the scores for girls who had received control formula; these substantial increases would be meaningful in educational terms. LCPUFAs have been associated with literacy in the past. A LCPUFA intervention trial involving adolescents with dyslexia reported improvement in reading-related tasks after 5 months, but there was no control group for proper evaluation of the changes.27 More convincing was a study that showed significant correlations between blood levels of ω-3 fatty acids and measures of word reading and spelling for groups of adults with dyslexia and for normal readers.28 A randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of supplementation for school-aged children with dyspraxia reported that 12 weeks of supplementation with LCPUFAs resulted in significant improvement for the test group in measures of reading and spelling.29 These studies add weight to the view that the effects on literacy that were found in our study were not attributable to chance but were predictable on the basis of previous literature findings. None of the foregoing studies conducted gender analyses.
The demonstration of gender effects concurs with a growing body of literature describing differences between the genders in brain structure and function,30,–,32 the relationship between the brain and cognitive function,33,34 and the vulnerability of the brain to diverse external influences, such as hypoxic risk,35 prenatal stress,36 and several aspects of nutrition.37,38 There also have been reports of differences in fatty acid metabolism between adult men and women.39 The positive effects of LCPUFA supplementation on literacy for girls in the present study, however, contrast with the finding of an advantage in BSID-II scores for boys at 18 months.13 The genders may show differences in susceptibility to the effects of early LCPUFA supplementation at different time points because the developmental trajectories of their brains differ.40 Alternatively, because literacy could not be tested at the 18-month follow-up assessment, any intrinsic sensitivity to the intervention in the literacy domain for girls would not have been detectable until the present study. Makrides et al41 reported that preterm girls, but not boys, born to mothers who had received DHA supplementation during pregnancy showed higher BSID-II Mental Developmental Index scores, compared with those born to mothers who had not received supplementation. It would be interesting to test the literacy skills of those children in later childhood.
Systematic reviews showing the absence of an effect of LCPUFAs on cognition among term or preterm infants might be taken to imply that the cognitive benefits of breast milk versus formula feeding, as shown in numerous studies, could not have been attributable to the presence of LCPUFAs in breast milk. Our study provides preliminary data that challenge this conclusion and illustrate the importance of defining the groups carefully. Sixty-four percent of the participants who took part in the study had received some breast milk in their early diet, which reflects the prevalence of mixed feeding regimens in the United Kingdom. Randomization ensured that our supplement and control groups had received equivalent proportions of breast milk; a comparison of those groups indicated that LCPUFA supplementation had not affected cognition. When we separated the subjects into those who had received formula as the sole diet and those who had received a mixed diet, however, positive effects of LCPUFAs on cognitive outcomes emerged, which indicated that the effects of LCPUFAs were blunted by the inclusion of mixed feeding. There were significant interactions between LCPUFA supplementation and breast milk feeding status for several important cognitive measures. The implication is that some factors promoted cognitive development even in the breastfed control group, whose only source of LCPUFAs was breast milk.
The evidence that a key factor in breast milk promoting cognitive development might be LCPUFAs comes from the nonrandomized analysis, which showed that both diet groups that received breast milk had VIQ scores of ∼97 to ∼98 (Table 7). Among the 2 nonbreastfed groups, the group fed the control formula had a mean VIQ of only 86, whereas the group fed formula with LCPUFAs had the same VIQ as the breastfed groups (mean: 98), which indicates that it was the addition of LCPUFAs to formula that seemed to correct fully the VIQ deficit of the control formula-fed group, compared with the breastfed groups. The same pattern was found for FSIQ. We emphasize that the sample size was small and that this was an ad hoc statistical exploration. The difference in DHA contents between the supplement formula (0.5%) and breast milk (∼0.3%) also must be kept in mind. Nevertheless, our data emphasize the need for further analyses of data at this age, to test this hypothesis.
The significant difference found for the word pairs learning test, which is a memory measure that involves associative learning, is consistent with the observation that LCPUFAs are capable of improving long-term potentiation in the hippocampus.42 The pattern of scaled scores between the groups and conditions was the same as that for IQ scores. It often is assumed that VIQ scores are particularly vulnerable to the influences of social class and parental education, but these factors were included as covariates with little effect on the results for IQ and word pairs learning. We did not control for maternal intelligence43 but, in a study examining IQ differences among monozygotic twins,44 the effects of fetal undernutrition were seen selectively for VIQ with a design in which parents' IQ scores, level of education, and social class were controlled.
Fewtrell et al45 addressed the issue of cohort attrition at some length, as summarized here. We achieved a follow-up rate of 45%, which increased to 54% among those who were seen at 18 months. Reduced numbers might, of course, affect the power of the study to detect group differences. The projected size of 64 subjects per group would allow the detection of a 0.5-SD difference in outcome measures; the present sample size of 107 subjects allows detection of a 0.6-SD group difference with 80% power at 5% significance. Group differences for all measures rarely exceeded 0.3 SD. Attrition also might introduce bias, especially if the 2 groups at the follow-up assessment differed with respect to some characteristics. We looked for this in each comparison; although few such characteristics were found, all were adjusted for in the relevant analyses. It would seem safe, therefore, to generalize these results to the appropriate population (ie, preterm infants born 10 years ago). We note again, however, that we are aware of the relatively small group numbers, and we urge caution in interpretation.
This first long-term follow-up study of cognitive function among children who, as preterm infants, took part in a randomized controlled trial of LCPUFA formula supplementation suggests that supplementation does not result in differences in cognition at the age of 10 years. It does indicate, however, that there may be gender-specific long-term effects, with girls benefiting from enhanced literary skills. It is recommended that all subsequent studies be designed to allow gender analyses. The study also provides some preliminary evidence that cognitive development among children who are partly breastfed is not affected by LCPUA supplementation. Among children who are entirely formula-fed, however, those who do not receive LCPUFA supplementation have IQ and memory scores that are ∼0.5 SD lower than the scores of both the supplemented formula-fed group and the breastfed group. These are large meaningful differences, and there is an urgent need to attempt to replicate these results in studies with larger numbers of participants. There also is a need to determine whether these findings extend to term infants.

|Scientific classification
G. anodireducens[1]
Geobacter is a genus of proteobacteria. Geobacter are anaerobic respiration bacterial species which have capabilities that make them useful in bioremediation. Geobacter was found to be the first organism with the ability to oxidize organic compounds and metals, including iron, radioactive metals and petroleum compounds into environmentally benign carbon dioxide while using iron oxide or other available metals as electron acceptor.[2] Geobacter are also found to be able to respire upon a graphite electrode.[3] Geobacter have been found in anaerobic conditions in soils and aquatic sediment.[4]
Geobacter metallireducens was first isolated by Derek Lovley in 1987 in sand sediment from the Potomac River in Washington D.C. The first strain was deemed strain GS-15.[4]
Geobacter's ability to consume oil-based pollutants and radioactive material with carbon dioxide as waste byproduct has been used in environmental clean-up for underground petroleum spills and for the precipitation of uranium out of groundwater.[5][6] Geobacter metabolize the material by creating electrically conductive pili between itself and the food material.[7]
Multiple Geobacter species cooperate in metabolizing a mixture of chemicals that neither could process alone. Provided with ethanol and sodium fumarate, G. metallireducens broke down the ethanol, generating an excess of electrons that were passed to G. sulfurreducens via "nanowires" grown between them, enabling G. sulfurreducens to break down the fumarate ions.[8] The nanowires are made of proteins with metal-like conductivity.[9]
Fuel cell[edit]
The production of electricity during this process led scientists to theorize that Geobacter could act as a living fuel cell that could convert biomass into electricity. Potential applications exist in the field of nanotechnology for the creation of microbial nanowires in very small circuits and electronic devices. The nanowires could be connected, creating a microscopic power grid.[10]
Biodegradation and bioremediation[edit]
Microbial biodegradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants is of great environmental significance and involves intriguing novel biochemical reactions. In particular, hydrocarbons and halogenated compounds have long been doubted to be anaerobically degradable, but the isolation of hitherto unknown anaerobic hydrocarbon-degrading and reductively dehalogenating bacteria documented these processes in nature. Novel biochemical reactions were discovered, enabling the respective metabolic pathways, but progress in the molecular understanding of these bacteria was slowed by the absence of genetic systems for most of them. However, several complete genome sequences later became available for such bacteria. The genome of the hydrocarbon degrading and iron-reducing species G. metallireducens (accession nr. NC_007517) was determined in 2008. The genome revealed the presence of genes for reductive dehalogenases, suggesting a wide dehalogenating spectrum. Moreover, genome sequences provided insights into the evolution of reductive dehalogenation and differing strategies for niche adaptation.[11]
Geobacter species are often the predominant organisms when extracellular electron transfer is an important bioremediation process in subsurface environments. Therefore, a systems biology approach to understanding and optimizing bioremediation with Geobacter species has been initiated with the ultimate goal of developing in silico models that can predict the growth and metabolism of Geobacter species under a diversity of subsurface conditions. The genomes of multiple Geobacter species have been sequenced. Detailed functional genomic/physiological studies on one species, G. sulfurreducens was conducted. Genome-based models of several Geobacter species that are able to predict physiological responses under different environmental conditions are available. Quantitative analysis of gene transcript levels during in situ uranium bioremediation demonstrated that it is possible to track in situ rates of metabolism and the in situ metabolic state of Geobacter in the subsurface.[12]
Popular culture[edit]
Geobacter are used as a plot device in the first episode of the third season of ReGenesis. Geobacter has become an icon for teaching about microbial electrogenesis and microbial fuel cells and has appeared in educational kits that are available for students and hobbyists.[13] Geobacter is also used to generate electricity via electrode grid in Amazon,Peru.

Misused can be taken several ways.
Some would say they are being misused in that they are put in a position they don't deserve or are ready for. Or, they are not given the right push to where they should be.
No matter which you take it, this list will cater to both.
So, while this list may have people who are doing well, the word "misused" is key, and here are the 10 most misused WWE Superstars/Divas.

Google has unveiled the first fully working road-legal prototype of its self-driving car. If all goes to plan, Google hopes to partner with a real car maker to bring a self-driving vehicle to market in the next five years. Whether the commercialized driverless car will look like the overly cutesy Google prototype remains to be seen.
North Korea was indeed responsible for the massive hack on Sony Pictures, according to officials from within the US government. The problem is, there is very little evidence that North Korea was actually behind the attack — which makes me wonder, a) Why is the US government fingering North Korea? and b) If it wasn't North Korea, who hacked Sony Pictures?
If you're still lamenting the loss of The Pirate Bay, which was shut down last week by Swedish police, you now have an intriguing new option: If you have some web hosting, a small amount of tech savvy, and you're located in a country where it's legal, you can now easily host your own Pirate Bay.
For the past five years, Microsoft has been forced to offer first-time Windows users in Europe a choice of web browser. This was a result of an EU ruling in 2009, which found that Microsoft had been unfairly abusing its operating system monopoly to push Internet Explorer into the hands of millions of unwitting, unfortunate users. Now, however, Microsoft is once again free to make Internet Explorer the default web browser in Windows.
Steam, one of the sole bastions of sanity when it comes to digital games distribution, has enabled region locking on games. This means if you buy a game in one territory, you can no longer use it in another territory — much like DVD region locking (but more effective, as Steam's region locking hasn't been cracked). While this might look like oppressive behavior by Valve, there's actually a very good reason behind the locks: Unstable currencies, like the Russian ruble, caused by the crashing price of crude oil. Or maybe Valve (and publishers) are just sick of people buying games cheaply in other territories, then redeeming them in their (more expensive) home countries.
The long running class action lawsuit, which just concluded in Apple's favor, alleged that Apple acted as an illegal monopolist, artificially keeping iPod prices high by limiting its interoperability with content purchased from other music stores. Is there any basis to these claims, or were Apple's moves simply a case of good, solid business sense?
Back in June, HP announced that it would be plowing almost all of its R&D efforts into a brand new type of computer called The Machine. At the time, HP provided very few details — but now we have a rough timeline for the first working prototype of The Machine (2016), and news that the operating system for The Machine, called Linux++, will be released as early as June 2015.
A week ago, The Pirate Bay was raided and shut down. At this point, with no resurrection apparently forthcoming, it looks like it might be dead forever. This hasn't stopped fake sites from popping up — including, rather amusingly, a site called Old Pirate Bay that is being managed by IsoHunt, one of Pirate Bay's largest rivals. Ah, the futility of shutting down file sharing websites.
An upcoming version of the Windows 10 Technical Preview has leaked, and it has some really, really big changes. Most notably, it looks like the original Control Panel might be going away, replaced by the new Metro-style PC Settings app — and, somewhat oddly, it looks like you'll be able to buy Xbox One apps from the Windows 10 app store. There are also lots of changes to the UI, and a general downplaying of Metro. All in all, Windows 10 is looking very nice indeed.
Remember that neat little cardboard contraption that turns your Android smartphone into a pair of do-it-yourself virtual reality goggles? Well, it seems that Google isn't content to let that cheeky little idea die. Instead, the folks at Mountain View are doubling down on this adorable low-cost VR solution, and dedicating an entire section of the Play Store to Google Cardboard.

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 9 -- The FDA warned today that aggressive use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents to raise hemoglobin to a target of 12 g/dL or higher was associated with "serious and life-threatening side-effects and/or death."
The agency ordered a black-box warning for the drugs that recommended the lowest possible dose to slowly raise the hemoglobin concentration to the lowest level that will avoid the need for a blood transfusion.
Moreover, the FDA said that there has never been any evidence to support claims made in direct-to-consumer advertising that treatment with darbepoetin (Aranesp), epoetin alfa (Epogen), or epoetin alfa (Procrit) could increase energy or ease fatigue in patients undergoing cancer therapy.
For cancer patients who are not on chemotherapy, the FDA said that erythropoiesis-stimulating agents did not benefit anemia. But they appeared to shorten time to death.

Exposing massive censorship by the ZIONISTS, (jidf - The Jewish Internet Defense Force) they're trying to silence anybody speaking against Israel policies and treatment of Palestinians. this includes among others those denouncing AIPAC Zionist control of Washington , those denouncing 9/11 as what it is a self-inflicted wound or if you're just a Muslim... These fascists shamelessly feature their own channel here http://youtube.com/user/thejidf and maintain a "hit list" where your name or your friends might be (btw you're automatically "guilty" by association). http://www.thejidf.org/2008/02/problematic-youtube-channels-and-videos.html they have a program of systematically censoring all the social collaborative space (myspace, youtube or wikipedia !!) THESE FASCISTS ALREADY CONTROL ALL WHAT YOU KNOW OR SAY FROM TV OR NEWSPAPERS THEY HAVE THE PRETENTION TO DO THE SAME ON THE INTERNET. DO YOU AGREE?

Quote:Question1: Do you really think that it is ok for someone who has never done wing chun before to start doing chi sau right away?Wont their shapes go to pieces? How are you supposed to do a proper tan sau or jum sau if you are worried about keeping contact and being 'sensitive'.Developing sensitivity is good, but there is no point IMO to develop it for its own sake. I think the only goal of WC is to destroy your opponent and I dont think that by learning chi sau you are going to be destroying anything.A bit of a tangent, but the shapes are the most important part of WC in my opinion, the center line theory, and the breaking down of someones guard.Very unlikely that you will link up with someone on the street. If someone throws a hook what you need is correct structure and speed to defend and attack, not sensitivity.

It has been a number of years since anything has been done to the house my father lived in before he passed away. It is kind of in a sad state, but things need to be done to it soon, so that it can be made ready to go on the market for sale. Part of me does not want to see the house sold, but it is not going to serve much purchase to maintain ownership of it. I am currently purchasing some plantation shutters to have installed at the house because that is one of the things that I want to do to make it look better and more ready to sell.
It is probably going to take a lot of work to get this house to the point where it will sell for a good amount of money, but it is all going to be worth it. Continue reading Improvements for Increasing Home Value

[Editor's note: This is a guest post by Montreal Instagrammer @yellowillow] My name is Anne McIsaac, but most people know me as @yellowillow on Instagram. I'm an art director and I help my clients build their image campaigns, whether it's using traditional media or social networks. I love the colour yellow. I find it luminous and optimistic. I also love to help my followers discover my city, whether they live here in Montréal or elsewhere. I try to share my own particular vision by adding, I hope, a touch of poetry. And there is not that I love more than to show my favourite Montréal places to friends who are visiting the city. With Instagram`s network, we get to meet people (virtually, at least) from around the world but when they come to town, that's when the tour begins. Here are some of my favourite spots: Victorian house with yellow decor. It managed to escape the demolition and modernization that swallowed up many houses like this. Lahaie Park in Mile End. Recently renovated and still attracts tons of visitors who stop for leisurely picnics, to chat, to read tarot cards or do a little yoga. This has to be the… / Read More →

Neighbourhood Guide: Westmount
In the west end of town, between downtown and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, lives a lush land known as Westmount. Its main artery is Sherbrooke Street West, between Atwater and Décarie, and one of its most impressive features is beautiful Westmount Park, complete with paddling pool, tons of jungle gyms, an arena, a library and even a small but breathtaking botanical garden. As you hike up the hill north of Sherbrooke, you'll find the mansions that give the neighbourhood its posh reputation. South of Sherbrooke, it's still fancy, but it's more accessible to the rest of us, with pretty streets punctuated with unique stores and great spots to eat.
Montrealer Jay Baruchel plays himself at Just For Laughs
Montreal actor Jay Baruchel has found all kinds of success in Hollywood, scoring major roles in Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby, Judd Apatow's Knocked Up, the upcoming This Is the End, and the recently-wrapped Robocop reboot, but he resolutely calls Montreal home – and Montreal loves his right back, giving him his own Just For Laughs gala show this summer…
The Montreal Street Profiles series, considered by some/me to be the greatest set of blog posts ever written, has been busy. It's covered Bleury, Parc and Maisonneuve, but then it got tired so it took a quick nap on a nearby park bench. But then it got right back up and strolled down Saint-Paul, Saint-Zotique and Crescent. It then decided to head a little west to explore Greene Avenue, in the heart of Westmount… Though Westmount, home to most of Montreal's wealthiest English residents, extends much further west and up towards the mountain, Greene Avenue is viewed by many as it "Main Street". Running south from Sherbrooke down to Atwater, in a couple short blocks this upscale avenue, named in 1881 for the landowner G.A. Greene, manages to contain an incredible density of shops, restaurants and what is probably Montreal's best English bookstore.
When it comes to dining in an unfamiliar city, I always look for authentic epicurean experiences. Get me out of the rat race of tourist restaurants and corporate chain eateries, and into a neighborhood bistro where I can actually observe (and participate in) the culture of the city. I want to eat where the locals are eating. And you, my dear reader, probably share my affinity for local eating experiences.

It shouldn't be giving you trouble, all it takes is to format the 2gig SD (well that my size, and should not matter) to FAT32 type partition and thats is it, does not need a special kind of format. Hell I back up my retro games, attach the SD to my computer and then back them up again to my NAS Network Attached RAID Array then remove it off the SD, to make more room. Takes no time. If you do a few searches you can find out how to do this if you are unfamiliar with the possess, but I can tell you how if you would like.

Hylian - I'm not sure if a simple update would make it compatible, but I didn't tryi it, so maybe. It's worth a try. If you have a camera, phone or PDA that connects to your computer and supports SDHC, you can use that as a makeshift card reader - that's what I've been doing.

Most SD cards come preformatted wih FAT32
If a card is working in the Wii, it is safe to assume the card is formatted with FAT32
I know from experience that older card readers can see SDHC cards as unformatted which is why instead of posting a sarcastic reply to the OP I suggested his reader might be incompatible.
I think it's safe to assume that his card is fine but not supported by the reader he is using.

Film Review: 'Zoolander 2' Continues Silly, Surreal HilaritySubmitted by PatrickMcD on February 12, 2016 - 9:48am
CHICAGO – Humor is subject to the receiver, of course, and what is funny is as distinct to each individual as a fingerprint. Having said that, I found "Zoolander 2" to be hilarious, as it delivered again what made the first film work – tweaking the self-importance of fashion and celebrity.
Blu-ray Review: Take Trip Off the Grid with Funny 'Wanderlust'Submitted by BrianTT on July 3, 2012 - 3:18pm
CHICAGO – David Wain's "Wanderlust" got screwed by Universal. There's no reason that a movie this generally funny, smart, and enjoyable should only make just over $20 million worldwide. It's the kind of solid comedy that is guaranteed a wider audience on Blu-ray and DVD. And the Universal Blu-ray is a strong enough one to help deserved word-of-mouth grow.
Film Review: Paul Rudd, Jennifer Aniston Take Funny Trip to Hippie Nirvana in 'Wanderlust'Submitted by BrianTT on February 23, 2012 - 6:07pm
CHICAGO – David Wain's "Wanderlust" is a deeply flawed movie. The female lead is woefully underwritten and the script pretty much falls apart at the end as characters do things they wouldn't do and it rushes to its credits to wrap everything up in an awkward montage. But here's the thing – it's also DAMN funny.

CHICAGO – David Gordon Green's "Your Highness" still makes me sad. Not only am I giant fan of nearly everyone involved but the concept of a pot-fueled riff on the fantasy-adventure films more popular in the '80s is a great one.
