You don't have to be a web developer or programmer to install Tiki. Tiki has an easy-to-use, wizard-based installer which will do most of the work for you. The rest can be completed from your webhost's control panel. You can also use 1-click installers.
If you are a complete novice (or are just not into DIY = do it yourself ) consider using Tiki friendly hosts. Many will complete your Tiki setup you free of charge.
- Installation
- Overview
- Step-by-step installation
- Before you begin
- 1.1. Create the database
- 1.2. Install Tiki directly from the SVN repository
- 1.3. Install a Tiki release file
- 1.4. Go to your website and run the installer
- 1.5. Run the Tiki installer (tiki-install.php)
- 1.6. Log in for the first time
- 1.7. Change the default password.
- 1.8. Congratulations!
- 1.9. Configure Your Tiki
- For more information on the Tiki installation process...
These videos offer an basic overview of Tiki installation. See Tiki TV and Tiki Movies for additional videos.
Step-by-step installation
Before you begin
Before installing Tiki, read the Requirements and Setup information and use the Server Check tool. Proper planning can ensure a worry-free installation. If you need a webhost for your Tiki, refer to the list of Tiki Friendly Hosts.
These instructions are intentionally generic, and should apply to most shared host installations. See Installation Guides for instructions for specific combination of operating system and web servers.
This guide assumes you have:
- FTP or SSH (shell) access to a webserver (such as Apache) with PHP5
- access to a MySQL database (should be provided by your webhost)
1.1. Create the database
Tiki requires a MySQL database.
Many hosts offer a point & click interface to create databases and database users. For example, if your web host has cPanel you probably can see phpMyAdmin in the main menu or a the section labeled Databases.
Creating a database (and a database user) is a very simple operation. Essentially you will create a blank (empty) database that the Tiki installer will later populate with the correct tables and data.
The Three steps of database setup
- Create a database.
- You can name the database anything you want, but don't get fancy with the name — you can use tiki. Depending on your web host, your full database in phpMyAdmin may be listed as accountname_tiki.
Note: By default, Tiki uses UTF-8 for your database encoding. We strongly encourage you to select "utf8" in the "collation" drop-down box in phpmyadmin (or similar), in the field shown in the following image:
If you select a different encoding method, you may need to manually update your ../db/local.php file.
Tip: If you plan on having multiple Tiki installations, don't use tiki as the database name.
- Be sure to record the database name, you will need it later.
- You can name the database anything you want, but don't get fancy with the name — you can use tiki. Depending on your web host, your full database in phpMyAdmin may be listed as accountname_tiki.
- Create a database user (with password).
- Again, don't get fancy with the database username. In fact, you can use the same name that you selected for the database (in step 1).
- Select a strong password. You can easily recover your database username and password if necessary (by reviewing the
../db/local.phpfile in your Tiki directory.
- Be sure to record the username and password. You will need it later.
- Assign all database permissions to the database user that you created (in step 2).
Congratulations. You now have a database that is ready to use, as well a a database user (and password) with the necessary permissions.
1.2. Install Tiki directly from the SVN repository
This method requires a. a server with shell (command line) access and b. a running SVN instance on this server.
For the SVN part please have a look at the page Get Code on dev.tiki.org. On this page and if necessary aswell on the related pages, you find notes about the SVN commands and the particular paths you need to use in the command line to automatically checkout or update the right Tiki version into the intended installation directory (= tikiroot folder).
Example for a fresh checkout (recommended also for major upgrades)
Method 1
Checking out to a new folder (that you will specify)
$ svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/tikiwiki/code/branches/15.x mynewfolder
Method 2
Checking out to the current folder (when you created the intended tikiroot already and changed into this directory prior to the checkout):
$ svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/tikiwiki/code/branches/15.x .
Example for a minor update:
Do not forget to switch into the tikiroot of the Tiki you want to update
$ svn up
You now have to run the composer!
The composer automatically downloads and installs the so called 'vendor files' from external sources.
Vendor files are external scripts and libraries, which we do not manage in our own repository.
Examples of those vendor files are the Bootstrap code, the jQuery library, Tablesorter, Elfinder etc..
Usually (= on most servers) you additionally have to fix certain file permissions.
Both can be accomplished by simply answering a number of questions after starting the setup.sh script in the shell (= command line).
This procedure is quite self-explaining. Just follow the instructions of the script.
Start setup.sh, (in the tikiroot)::
$ sh setup.sh
For more information on using setup.sh see also the section 1.4.1 Troubleshooting below or run
sh setup.sh -h. In this section we treat only Composer part, which is only applicable when you use an installation from the repository.
To start Composer you have to use the option "c" after starting the setup.sh script:
$ sh setup.sh Your choice [c or f]? c
FAQ: On my server the composer script is not starting. What can I do, when I get the following error message?
Wrong PHP version: phpABC < required PHP version. A version >= phpXYZ is necessary.
The problem is, that many shared hosting providers keep the setting of the default local PHP version of the shell (command-line) to an outdated PHP version which does not match the PHP requirements of Tiki or of the composer. Alternativ PHP settings in the .htaccess or in the php.ini file or in the user.ini file have no effect to the PHP version in the shell (command line).
However most of these servers have newer PHP versions available in the shell (command line), which can be used alternatively.
For Tiki 16, likely soon backported to Tiki 15, an option is provided that allows composer to be run with an alternative up-to-date PHP version, given that one is available on the particular server.
Another issue to be addressed is that providers have different naming conventions regarding how to distinguish their available PHP versions. To address this issue, the option "-p" is implemented for the setup.sh script to provide the option to manually change the PHP version used by the script:
$ sh setup.sh -p PHPVERSION
In a first step, the setup.sh script automatically guesses three typically used namings of up-to-date versions, commonly used on many servers and uses the first one that matches:
php55 php5.5 php5.5-cli
If the script finds one of these, you should get the following message prior to an autostarting composer:
Wrong PHP version: phpABC < required PHP version. A version >= phpXYZ is necessary. Searching for typically named alternative PHP version ... ... correct PHP version phpDEF detected and used Local PHP version >= required PHP version XYZ - good Loading composer repositories with package information Installing dependencies from lock file (...)
Now you are done. Problem solved.
But if none of these options work out, you will get the following error message:
Wrong PHP version: phpABC < required PHP version. A version >= phpXYZ is necessary. Searching for typically named alternative PHP version ... ... no alternative php version found. Please provide an alternative PHP version with the -p option. Example: sh setup.sh -p phpXYZ. You can use the command-line command 'php[TAB][TAB]' to find out available versions.
This should be self-explanatory. You simply have to use the php command in the shell, followed by twice typing the TAB key without any space or other key and then the Enter. Then the shell (command line) will provide a list of the available PHP versions which you can use (obviously using the naming convention used on the particular server):
$ php[TAB][TAB] php php-53 php-54 php-55 php-56 php-70
How to use this information:
Given the required PHP version would be php 5.5, but your provider uses php 5.3 by default, you simply need to type the following command to start setup.sh with the right PHP version for the composer (in this particular case php-55) ...
$ sh setup.sh -p php-55 Your choice [c]? c
Then setup.sh will start composer with php 5.5 after the following message:
Wrong PHP version: phpABC < required PHP version. A version >= php55 is necessary. Searching for typically named alternative PHP version ... ... correct PHP version php55 detected and used Local PHP version >= required PHP version 55 - good
If you know a newer version of php is installed but it is not found by the TAB method above, it means it is not in your PATH environment variable. If you can find its location, you can use the -p option with a full path like:
$ sh setup.sh -p /opt/rh/rh-php70/root/bin/php Your choice [c]? c
Now you need only to follow the setup.sh dialog to fix directory permissions (option f is reasonably secure works on most average servers. If you need a more secure setting or if your server needed a less restrictive setting (better change the server then), you can use another option. To find out which permission option is best n your server, you can use Permission Check.
You are done now and can go to your website to run the installer.
1.3. Install a Tiki release file
1.3.1. Download and unzip
Download the current version of Tiki to your local computer from http://tiki.org/download.
The full Tiki archive file download is 20-50MB depending on the version and compression (zip, bz2, etc,).
After downloading the Tiki archive file, decompress (unzip) the file to your local PC.
188.8.131.52. Upload to your webhost
Use FTP (or SCP, SFTP, Rsync, SSH, etc) to connect to your webhost.
Once connected, find your web directory. It is often called
www or
Note: This directory name may vary, depending on your webhost.
Upload all the Tiki files from your PC to you webhost.
- If you upload the Tiki files to the root of your web directory, Tiki will be accessible directly from the URL: http://example.org
- If you have installed (or plan to install) other applications on your webhost, you may consider putting Tiki in its own subdirectory (for example: http://example.org/tiki/). Keep in mind that this might mean that you will have to manually edit the file .htaccess to activate the Tiki subdirectory (for example this "RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /tiki-index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]" might need to become this "RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /tiki/tiki-index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]")
18.104.22.168. Example 1: Installation with lftp
lftp -u username ftp.example.com
lcd /path/to/local/tiki
cd /path/to/web/tiki
set ftp:ssl-allow no
mirror -R ./
A ftp testing upload session to an external webhoster needed approximately two hours, and the limitation was the provider's setting. The local internet connection was not saturated.
Time for more coffee?
18.104.22.168. Example 2: installation with shell access
Run setup.sh to set permissions on the directories. The defaults should do.
/var/www/tiki# sh setup.sh
1.4. Go to your website and run the installer
Open your web browser and access the web directory in which you copied the Tiki files (for example: http://example.org/tiki/ or simply http://example.org if you copied Tiki to the root of your web directory.
After a fresh installaton, the installer starts automatically. Tiki will switch to the URL yoursite.tld/path/to/tikiroot/tiki-install.php or yoursite.tld/tiki-install.php .
After a minor update (for ex via the command line using "svn up") you will have to type in the url manually to the address bar of your browser.
You should see a message indicating that Tiki could not connect to the database and prompting you to run the Tiki installer (tiki-install.php).
The Tiki Installer includes important links to the ReleaseNotes and Documentation. Be sure to review these documents before installing Tiki.
1.4.1. Troubleshooting
2012-09: A new Server Check script has been developed that will make everything easier! Just upload a single PHP file to your server and you will get advice on your server configuration.
If your browser returns an error such as Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, you may have the incorrect PHP version.
Starting with Tiki 3.0, Tiki requires PHP5. Review the _htaccess file included in the Tiki archive file for instructions on activating PHP5.
See the Installation FAQs for more help.
1.4.2. File and Folder permissions
If your server is unhappy with Tiki file and folder permissions (this is dependent on server configuration), you may get an error message or blank pages. These failed attempts are typically in the error log (ask your web host to know where they are as it's different depending of your setup)
Too few permissions
If a message appears indicating that specific directories are not writable, you will need to change the permissions on the indicated directories. Tiki will attempt to verify that it can read (and write) to all necessary directories. This error message will include instructions about how to resolve the issue.
Too many permissions
If you are getting Internal Server Error 500, blank pages or similar, it could be that the permissions on the files are not appropriate for your webhost.
If your permissions are currently at "777", use your FTP client to change the files to "755". If Tiki is installed in a directory, make sure to also change the permission of the folder which contains the tiki files.
If you have shell access, you can run:
sh setup.sh
and answer any questions. If you don't know what to answer, just click "enter" to keep the defaults.
root@yourserver:/var/www/tiki# sh setup.sh Tiki setup.sh - your options ============================ Composer: If you are installing via a released Tiki package (zip, tar.gz, tar.bz2, 7z), you can and should skip using Composer. If you are installing and upgrading via SVN, you need to run Composer after 'svn checkout' and 'svn upgrade'. More info at https://dev.tiki.org/Composer c run composer and exit (recommended to be done first) For all Tiki instances (via SVN or via a released package): f fix file & directory permissions (classic default) o open file and directory permissions (classic option) S clear screen predefined Tiki Permission Check models: ---------------------------------------- 1 paranoia 2 paranoia-suphp w suphp workaround 3 sbox W sbox workaround 4 mixed 5 worry 6 moreworry 7 pain 8 morepain 9 risky a insane q quit x exit There are some other commands recommended for advanced users only. More documentation about this: https://doc.tiki.org/Permission+Check Your choice [f]?
The option preselected in "Our choice" will initially be "c", to run "composer" script and get the required php dependencies for you. and in a second step, it will suggest "f", to fix file and directory permissions (classic default option). You can choose at any time the letter that best suits your needs, among the options offered.
If "sh setup.sh" doesn't work for you, you may try, in your ./tiki/ directory
chmod -R 777 ./db ./dump ./img/wiki ./img/wiki_up ./img/trackers ./modules/cache ./temp ./temp/cache ./temp/templates_c ./templates ./styles ./whelp/
Another way is to set permissions for all directories and then set permissions for all files. For example, to set the permissions for all directories to 777 and the permissions for all files to 644, use the following separate commands through shell access:
find [YOURDIR] -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \; find [YOURDIR] -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
After correcting any directory or file permission problems, visit tiki-install.php to continue.
1.4.3. SuPHP Problems
Systems with SuPHP need permissions 755 at maximum. Group must not be allowed to write. This includes the complete path in the filesystem, not only document root of the webserver. Wrong permissions may lead to 500 Internal Server Error here. On the other hand less permissions (namely 750 without x/execute/subdir entry for webserver) may lead to 403 Forbidden Error.
1.4.4. Permission Matrix
Several usecases and minimum to maximum permissions you may try if something doesn't work properly. Permissions refer to data directly accessed by the webserver (files included by Tiki itself may and should have less permissions):
no SuPHP
files / subdirectories
with SuPHP
files / subdirectories
600 - 666 / 700 - 777
604 - 666 / 705 - 777
600 - 644 / 701 - 755
660 - 666 / 770 - 777
660 - 666 / 770 - 777
184.108.40.206. Option
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; ; chmod 755 . ; find . -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \; ; chmod 751 db/local.php
220.127.116.11. Option
The following commands might be useful. In particular, it might help you use an IDE (PhpStorm), etc:
$ export PathToTiki="/var/www/tiki" $ export WebServerOwner="www-data" $ sudo usermod -aG ${WebServerOwner} $(whoami) $ sudo chown -R ${WebServerOwner}: ${PathToTiki} $ sudo chmod -R g+rw ${PathToTiki}
In English, the above code adds you to the web-server group; forces the tiki tree to be owned by the web-server user and group; and then makes sure the tiki tree is readable and writable by the web-server group (you). Suggestions welcome!
1.5. Run the Tiki installer (tiki-install.php)
Open a web browser to: http://example.org/tiki-install.php (or http://example.org/tiki/tiki-install.php if you installed Tiki in a subdirectory).
The first page of the Tiki Installer appears. This installer will allow you to:
- Pick a language
- Test your server settings
- If the installer detects that some of your server settings are inadequate, it will suggest changes to comply to the requirements.
- Enter your database host, name, username, and password.
This is the information from the database that you created earlier. You did remember to write it down, right? For non-default port number use syntax "example.com;port=3307"
- Create/update the database
- Note: on osx installations, the mysql socket is a bit different. In /etc/php.ini, change all instances of /var/mysql/mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock and then restart the web server
- Set some preferences, such as admin email
- Disable the install script
- and more
Complete each page of the Tiki Installer.
1.5.1. Security choices during installation
There are a couple of important security choices during installation as follows:
22.214.171.124. Secure login
When configuring general settings during installation, there is an option to "Require secure (https) login". It is recommended to select this option so that data sent between the browser and the site server is kept private.
In order to implement secure logins, in addition to selecting this option, you will need a security certificate and a dedicated IP address for your domain. These can be obtained or purchased from your web hosting company or, in the case of the security certificate, from third parties.
184.108.40.206. Locking in the installer
In the last step of the installer, the installer is locked by default once you click the button to enter your Tiki. There is an option to elect to not lock the installer in that last step of the installation. It is highly recommneded that you lock the installer for any production site. The option is provided for concenience for development sites only. The installer allows a user to change or destroy the site's database through the browser so it is very important to keep it locked once the installation or upgrade is complete.
1.5.2. Alternative "Step 5" without tiki-install.php
If you are unable to complete the Tiki Installer, continue with a Manual Installation.
1.6. Log in for the first time
Log in using the login box in the right-hand column.
- Enter this information:
- user: Enter admin
- pass: Enter admin
- Click login.
1.7. Change the default password.
Use a strong password. You may want to logout right away, and login again, letting your password manager record your password.
1.8. Congratulations!
It is recommended to create a new user and give him admin privileges instead of regularly using the admin account. You can now explore the interface but you should check the extra steps before to get you started.
1.9. Configure Your Tiki
Please visit Initial Configuration to explain the recommended next steps, or configuration for the table of contents related to configuring Tiki.
Add new features through post-install Profiles
You can enable a set of settings/permissions/content features in a single action, in order to provide a common feature at your Tiki site (make it multilingual, add freetags, configure it as a collaborative environment, etc.) with a just few clicks using the Profile Manager from "Admin > Profiles".
Read more about it at Profiles.

How to Make Generosity Affordable
Protect Your Financial Security Today by Giving a Gift Tomorrow
Supporting Gallaudet University should never come at the expense of your family's financial security. As health care advances extend our lifetimes, you may worry about outliving your retirement savings.
Perhaps that concern has kept you from being as charitable as you want to be. Yet there's a way you can help without making major financial sacrifices.
The Benefits of Giving After Your Lifetime

The Pork Checkoff has joined with the National Future Farmers of America (FFA) to teach children where their food comes from.
The two groups helped create the Middle School Food and Agricultural Literacy Curriculum – a free resource available at www.ffa.learn.com that can be used by teachers as a year-long course or customized to fit a shorter timeframe to teach students about their food. The curriculum has more than 150 free prepackaged, stand-alone lessons and eight units to choose from.
"This is a curriculum that will educate future generations of consumers," says Karen Richter, a member of the Pork Checkoff Producer Services Committee and a pork producer from Montgomery, MN.
"The purpose is to let them know where their food comes from," she says.
The eight units include:
- Introduction to Agricultural Science
- Food Science
- Natural Resources
- Plant Science
- Animal Science
- Agricultural Science and Technology
- Agricultural Issues
- Careers in Agriculture
A team of industry professionals, university specialists and secondary agriculture educators formulated the framework comprised of key concepts, units and lessons objectives determined and aligned to the Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources standards.
A team of 20 agriculture educators took those components and created the lessons and ancillary materials. The curriculum has been tested in 32 agriculture programs around the country.
"The curriculum serves as a great tool to get young people interested in careers in agriculture," Richter says. "It also is one more way for pork producers to promote confidence in what we do and how we do it."

SWANSBORO � Some coaches might shy away from the question or sidestep it like a mud puddle.
SWANSBORO � Some coaches might shy away from the question or sidestep it like a mud puddle.
Not Swansboro�s Doug Kidd.
After blanking Croatan 4-0 on Wednesday night to advance to the NCHSAA 2-A East Regional semifinal at Clinton tonight, Kidd was asked whether his Pirates had what it takes to bring home another girls� state soccer championship.
�Oh, definitely,� he said without hesitation. �I felt that from day one with this team. I think we�re capable of winning a state championship, but so are the teams that we�re going to be facing along the way. There�s no ifs, ands or buts about that. We are very capable of being a team that can go to Raleigh (for the state finals).�
And Kidd said his confident remarks weren�t calculated to bolster his team�s confidence.
�No, it�s just something I honestly believe,� he said. �I think this team, we have some better soccer players that have come in and helped out. I think our upperclassmen are starting to come into their own. This team has talent, enough talent to win it.�
To do so, however, the Pirates will have to first pull off a first tonight at Clinton. They�ll have to beat the Dark Horses for the first time this year. Clinton beat Swansboro at home 3-0 on March 8 before the teams tied 1-1 on April 16 at Swansboro.
While the teams shared the ECC title, Clinton earned the No. 1 seed by going 1-0-1 against the Pirates.
�We pretty much were only two weeks, three weeks into the season when we played them the first time,� Kidd recalled. �I think they were more prepared than us and more seasoned than us with experience. But I do think that we have improved as the season�s gone.
�When we played them the second time I thought as far as possession goes and chances go we outplayed them. We did make a mistake defensively and a good team will make you pay for that, and that�s what Clinton did. So a little disappointed we didn�t get the win there, but we had improved and played them a lot tougher.�
A win would send the Pirates into the regional final against the winner of the Carrboro-Roanoke Rapids � and one more win from a trip to the state finals, which is a destination not unfamiliar to Kidd and the program he�s built at Swansboro.
The Pirates, who move up to 3-A next year, won the state 2-A title in 2010, 2009 and 2006.
And senior Julianna Tucker agreed with her coach that the Pirates have what it takes to go all the way.
�I think we don�t have weak spots,� said Tucker, who along with Brenna Kate Grass was on the 2010 title team. �When we play other teams we can take apart certain areas. I don�t think we have one of those. I think as long as we play as we can we can beat any team we play�, but we have to play good.�
So far in the playoffs that�s exactly what the Pirates have done. Actually, Swansboro came into the postseason on a high. Since a 1-0 loss to Northside on April 22, the Pirates have not only won seven straight but have outscored their opponents 46-0.
�I think losses help you,� Kidd said. �Obviously you don�t want a lot of them, but losses help you become a better team. There�s not too many times you see an undefeated team win a state championship.
�When you make mistakes that lead to a loss, you know what those mistakes are and the kids know what they are, and I think it helps them see better what they need to do to become a better player and therefore a better team.�
One key to the shutout run has been the play of the Pirates� defense, which Kidd said has been more of a team effort than just one player stepping up big. Junior goalkeeper Roxanne Green has had �a pretty solid year,� Kidd said, adding she seems to come up with a key save even in games in which she is tested a lot.
�So it shows her quality right there,� he said.
Kidd said sophomore defender Haley Stewart has �really stepped up her leadership skill in the back,� including communicating well to organize the defensive. Supporting Stewart and Green are sophomore Kanani Thomas and freshman Abby Taylor in the back while senior Ashley Neal and freshman Tianna Boeckman have been �doing the dirty work in the midfield� to help the defenders.
�We�re much improved in that area,� Kidd said.
All of which the Pirates hope will add up to another state championship, and Croatan coach Paul Slater said that is a distinct possibility.
�They�re good enough definitely, especially having Doug as a coach,� Slater said, �and they�re very balanced as a team. They�ve got the wide players. They�ve got the forwards. They got the midfield. Going forward they�re a dangerous team.�
Streaking Swansboro
Swansboro has won seven straight, outscoring its opponents 46-0 in that span. Here�s the tale of the pitch:
April 23 - Swansboro 9, South Lenoir 0
April 26 - Swansboro 9, East Duplin 0
April 30 - Swansboro 2, Topsail 0
May 3 -Swansboro 4, Croatan 0
2-A State Playoffs
May 8 - Swansboro 9, N. Brunswick 0
May 11 - Swansboro 9, Eastern Randolph 0
May 15 - Swansboro 4, Croatan 0

Story highlights
- U.S. researchers hoping to start human trials of memory implants in next two years
- Studies focusing on the hippocampus, where short-term memories become long term
- Successful trials already carried out on rats and monkeys
- Implants could help stroke victims and patients with localized brain injuries
William Gibson's popular science fiction tale "Johnny Mnemonic" foresaw sensitive information being carried by microchips in the brain by 2021. A team of American neuroscientists could be making this fantasy world a reality.
Their motivation is different but the outcome would be somewhat similar. Hailed as one of 2013's top ten technological breakthroughs by MIT, the work by the University of Southern California, North Carolina's Wake Forest University and other partners has actually spanned a decade.
But the U.S.-wide team now thinks that it will see a memory device being implanted in a small number of human volunteers within two years and available to patients in five to 10 years. They can't quite contain their excitement.
"I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime," said Ted Berger, professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "I might not benefit from it myself but my kids will."
Rob Hampson, associate professor of physiology and pharmacology at Wake Forest University, agrees. "We keep pushing forward, every time I put an estimate on it, it gets shorter and shorter."
The scientists -- who bring varied skills to the table, including mathematical modeling and psychiatry -- believe they have cracked how long-term memories are made, stored and retrieved and how to replicate this process in brains that are damaged, particularly by stroke or localized injury.
Berger said they record a memory being made, in an undamaged area of the brain, then use that data to predict what a damaged area "downstream" should be doing. Electrodes are then used to stimulate the damaged area to replicate the action of the undamaged cells.
They concentrate on the hippocampus -- part of the cerebral cortex which sits deep in the brain -- where short-term memories become long-term ones. Berger has looked at how electrical signals travel through neurons there to form those long-term memories and has used his expertise in mathematical modeling to mimic these movements using electronics.
Hampson, whose university has done much of the animal studies, adds: "We support and reinforce the signal in the hippocampus but we are moving forward with the idea that if you can study enough of the inputs and outputs to replace the function of the hippocampus, you can bypass the hippocampus."
The team's experiments on rats and monkeys have shown that certain brain functions can be replaced with signals via electrodes. You would think that the work of then creating an implant for people and getting such a thing approved would be a Herculean task, but think again.
For 15 years, people have been having brain implants to provide deep brain stimulation to treat epilepsy and Parkinson's disease -- a reported 80,000 people have now had such devices placed in their brains. So many of the hurdles have already been overcome -- particularly the "yuck factor" and the fear factor.
"It's now commonly accepted that humans will have electrodes put in them -- it's done for epilepsy, deep brain stimulation, (that has made it) easier for investigative research, it's much more acceptable now than five to 10 years ago," Hampson says.
Much of the work that remains now is in shrinking down the electronics.
"Right now it's not a device, it's a fair amount of equipment,"Hampson says. "We're probably looking at devices in the five to 10 year range for human patients."
The ultimate goal in memory research would be to treat Alzheimer's Disease but unlike in stroke or localized brain injury, Alzheimer's tends to affect many parts of the brain, especially in its later stages, making these implants a less likely option any time soon.
Berger foresees a future, however, where drugs and implants could be used together to treat early dementia. Drugs could be used to enhance the action of cells that surround the most damaged areas, and the team's memory implant could be used to replace a lot of the lost cells in the center of the damaged area. "I think the best strategy is going to involve both drugs and devices," he says.
Unfortunately, the team found that its method can't help patients with advanced dementia.
"When looking at a patient with mild memory loss, there's probably enough residual signal to work with, but not when there's significant memory loss," Hampson said.
Constantine Lyketsos, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at John Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore which is trialing a deep brain stimulator implant for Alzheimer's patients was a little skeptical of the other team's claims.
"The brain has a lot of redundancy, it can function pretty well if loses one or two parts. But memory involves circuits diffusely dispersed throughout the brain so it's hard to envision." However, he added that it was more likely to be successful in helping victims of stroke or localized brain injury as indeed its makers are aiming to do.
The UK's Alzheimer's Society is cautiously optimistic.
"Finding ways to combat symptoms caused by changes in the brain is an ongoing battle for researchers. An implant like this one is an interesting avenue to explore," said Doug Brown, director of research and development.
Hampson says the team's breakthrough is "like the difference between a cane, to help you walk, and a prosthetic limb -- it's two different approaches."
It will still take time for many people to accept their findings and their claims, he says, but they don't expect to have a shortage of volunteers stepping forward to try their implant -- the project is partly funded by the U.S. military which is looking for help with battlefield injuries.
There are U.S. soldiers coming back from operations with brain trauma and a neurologist at DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is asking "what can you do for my boys?" Hampson says.
"That's what it's all about."

The European Asylum Support Office (EASO) holds its first management board meeting in Valletta (Malta) and selects its first Executive Director
Today the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) held its first management board meeting in Valletta (Malta) and selected Mr Rob Visser as its Executive Director. He will now be invited to appear before the competent Committee of the European Parliament. With the operational launch of this new agency, the EU makes further progress towards a more comprehensive Common European Asylum System. The EASO will enhance solidarity among Member States, through practical cooperation on asylum matters, and help them fulfilling their European and international obligations in this field.
"While I welcome the first management board meeting of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO), it is my pleasure to congratulate Mr Visser for his selection as the agency's first Executive Director. The EASO will play a crucial role as a centre of expertise on Member States' asylum systems. It will be able to contribute to better implementation of the asylum legislation by the Commission and Member States and sharing of best practices," said Cecilia Malmström, Commissioner for Home Affairs. She added: "The success of the Support Office will make a substantial contribution to a system which is able to provide protection to those in need, in line with the European humanitarian tradition. I see the EASO as an indispensable tool for implementing a Common European Asylum System (CEAS), based on solidarity and fairness. The European Council set 2012 as the target for establishing this system and I call on all Member States and the European Parliament to seek a reasonable compromise on the Asylum package, in order to achieve our objective within the given deadline".
The EASO will support Member States in their efforts to implement a more consistent and fair asylum policy, for example by helping to identify good practices, organising training at European level and improving access to accurate information on countries of origin. It will also provide technical and operational support to Member States facing "particular pressures" (i.e. Member States receiving large numbers of asylum claims), via the deployment of asylum expert teams, thus contributing to alleviate some of the pressure on their systems.
The EASO has been set up in the form of a regulatory agency, an independent European body. The Commission and EU Member States will be represented on its management board (its governing body). It will work closely with the national authorities responsible for asylum, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Fundamental Rights Agency, FRONTEX, and consult with civil society. The Executive Director of the EASO will be in charge of the day-to-day management of the agency.
The EASO will focus on three main tasks:
The Commission proposed the setting up of the EASO on 18 February 2009 (IP/09/275).This included a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a European Asylum Support Office, as well as changes to the European Refugee Fund (ERF).
During the first semester of 2010, the co-legislators formally approved the creation of a European Asylum Support Office (EASO) and Member States decided that its seat would be Valletta, Malta.
Regulation (EU) 439/2010 was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 29 May 2010.

Research Highlights
Improving quality of life for cancer survivors
The Hutch was awarded $1.7 million from the Lance Armstrong Foundation to establish a LiveSTRONG Survivor Center of Excellence, a comprehensive survivorship center including clinical care, education and access to research. The grant will help integrate and enhance four existing survivorship programs at the Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance with the goal of improving outcomes and developing new models of care for cancer survivors.
New Cancer Prevention Clinic opens
The Hutch and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance launched a new Cancer Prevention Clinic, which offers personalized cancer screening and prevention services, such as colonoscopies and mammograms, for Western Washington residents. The clinic will also provide individuals with an opportunity to take part in Center research studies aimed at warding off cancer or spotting it at its earliest stages, when cure rates are highest. The clinic offers an unprecedented opportunity to directly link the Center's outstanding research in cancer prevention and early detection with clinical care.
Leading research to develop vaccines to prevent HIV/AIDS
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded two grants totaling $40 million to the Hutch as part of a larger international effort to speed the development of effective HIV vaccines. The Center will play a pivotal role—including overall data management and analysis—in this project collectively known as the Collaboration for AIDS Vaccine Discovery, which brings together more than 165 investigators from 19 countries.
Improving outcomes for patients with lymphoma
Dr. Oliver Press and colleagues demonstrated that traditional chemotherapy followed by treatment with a radiation-carrying antibody offers unprecedented five-year survival rates of 87 percent for patients with follicular lymphoma, compared to 67 percent survival rates for patients with traditional chemotherapy alone. Although follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing cancer, traditional medicines have not been able to cure the disease or prolong patients' survival. The results of this study offer new hope to the roughly 15,000 Americans diagnosed with follicular lymphoma each year.
Regular, moderate physical activity can combat the common cold
Dr. Cornelia Ulrich led a study that found postmenopausal women who exercised regularly for a year had about half the risk of developing the common cold compared to those who did not work out routinely. Dr. Ulrich emphasized that regular exercise in moderation—such as 30 to 45 minutes of brisk walking each day—is the key. Other studies have shown that excessive, exhaustive exercise can deplete immune function and increase the risk of colds. The researchers also found that the ability of moderate exercise to ward off colds seemed to increase over time.
New initiative to detect cancer early
A $5 million grant from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation will accelerate the Hutch's progress toward early detection of breast and prostate cancer through an innovative "proof-of-principle" project that will set new standards for the field. This project seeks to demonstrate that proteins in the blood can be correlated with the presence of cancer in a mouse, yielding a blueprint for future discoveries relevant to early cancer detection in humans.
Exercise can reduce a man's risk of colon cancer
Dr. Anne McTiernan found that regular, moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise significantly reduces a risk factor associated with the formation of colon polyps and colon cancer in men. The effect was strongest in men who worked out vigorously an average of four hours a week or more.
Guidelines to help cancer patients preserve fertility
Dr. Stephanie Lee helped develop guidelines for physicians and patients about fertility preservation for those undergoing cancer treatment, which may help cancer patients retain their ability to have children. The guidelines provide information about which chemotherapy agents may have the most impact on fertility, how best to protect reproductive organs during radiation therapy, and methods of preserving fertility, such as embryo cryopreservation for women and sperm cryopreservation for men.
Pinpointing cancer-related genetic changes
A technique developed by Dr. Steven Henikoff for pinpointing small changes in plant genes shows great promise for uncovering hard-to-find gene defects in human cancer cells, paving the way for the discovery of new drug targets. In addition to finding genetic mutations that increase the risk of cancer, researchers hope to look for the genetic changes that arise in tumor cells and cause them to lose control of growth and division.
Healthy living helps fight cancer
Dr. Anne McTiernan and colleagues found that postmenopausal women who had the lowest body-mass index and the highest physical-activity levels had the lowest levels of circulating estrogens, sex hormones that can fuel breast-cancer growth. The study, part of the Women's Health Initiative, was the first of its kind to examine the dual impact of body weight and physical activity on circulating hormones thought to affect cancer risk.
Understanding the risks faced by childhood-cancer survivors
Dr. Debra Friedman co-authored a study revealing that adult survivors of childhood cancer face a high risk of a second cancer or other serious illness due to effects of cancer therapy. Findings from this multi-center study will help doctors monitor survivors more carefully to prevent or minimize such complications.
Genetic "signatures" to improve treatment for leukemia patients
By charting the sets of genes that are turned on or off as chronic myeloid leukemia advances from early to more aggressive phases, Dr. Jerry Radich and colleagues found genetic "signatures" that could form the basis for tests to predict prognosis and match patients with the best treatment for their illness. The study also identified genes that may be promising targets for new drugs to benefit patients whose disease is advanced and incurable with currently available therapies.

FORT MYERS, FLA. – January was a heartbreaking month for the Lipscomb University Bisons. Six losses by an average of 3.7 points.
February didn't start any better for the Bisons with a 76-73 loss to the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles Monday evening in Alico Arena.
The problem with Lipscomb's heartbreaking losses is that they are rather heartless losses.
"Right now we want the other team to lose instead of us wanting to win," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "The last four minutes of the game, we want them to lose the game to us instead of us going to win the game. It is an absolute chore on the sideline to try to figure out whom to give the ball to go make a play for you at the end of the game. Right now there isn't anyone that wants the ball to make the play."
Lipscomb was up two with 32 seconds remaining when Reggie Chambers hit the first of two free throws to cut Lipscomb's lead to one. But a poor Lipscomb box out allowed Derrick O'Neil to rebound and put back the shot and give FGCU the one-point lead.
Michael Lusk missed a layup with 12.9 seconds on the clock and the Bisons got the offensive rebound on a jump ball and called timeout.
Lipscomb didn't immediately shoot the ball and instead waited until less than four seconds on the clock when Lusk drove the lane and was stripped of the ball.
"Josh wants to have the ball, but he turns the ball over a lot," Sanderson said. "I will always give it to Mike Lusk to drive it to the basket whether he makes a play or doesn't make a play. He is the best option we have until I'm ready to give it to Josh."
Adnan Hodzic led the Bisons with 15 points. Josh Slater (14), Michael Lusk (13), and Jordan Burgason (10) also scored in double figures.
Lipscomb held a 43-26 advantage on the boards. Hodzic led Lipscomb with nine while Lusk added eight.
The Bisons were plagued all night by turnovers. Lipscomb turned the ball over 21 times. FGCU capitalized with 23 points off turnovers.
The game was back-and-forth all evening. The lead changed hands 15 times while the score was tied ten times.
The Bisons shot 25-of-52 (48.1 percent) on the evening. FGCU was 28-of-61 (45.9 percent) from the field.
Lipscomb was 4-of-15 (26.7 percent) from the 3-point line. FGCU was 4-of-13 (30.8 percent) from downtown. Burgason was two-of-five from the 3-point line for the Bisons.
The Bisons was 19-of-28 (67.9 percent) from the free throw line. FGCU shot 16-of-23 (69.6 percent).
Reed Baker led FGCU with 23 points. O'Neil had 17 points and 12 rebounds.
Lipscomb drops to 8-13, 4-8 in the A-Sun. Florida Gulf Coast is 10-15, 6-8 in the A-Sun.
The Bisons are back in action at Campbell next Monday in Buies Creek, N.C. Game time is 6 p.m.
Jonathan Seamon and Benjamin Seamon will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network. Free online audio streaming is available at www.LipscombSports.com/sportsnetwork/.

3-level CFA -- within-variance, betwe...
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
posted on Friday, August 03, 2007 - 8:13 pm
I am doing a 3-level CFA for school data (students nested within classrooms; classrooms nested within schools). So far, I don't see any articles doing such kind of analysis (if you have seen such articles, please let me know some references). Therefore, I am planning to follow those articles doing 2-level CFA. In the second step, it needs to calculate the within- and between-level covariance and obtain ICC values. The output I got is one within-level covariance and one between-level covariance. Is it right?
My major syntax is the following:
usevariables classid schid Q1-Q21;
cluster is schid classid;
analysis: type = meanstructure complex twolevel basic;
output: sampstat;
Thanks in advanced for you help.

That's right. The icc's should be part of the output, or you can compute them yourself from the variances of those 2 matrices,
icc = between/(between + within).
posted on Saturday, August 04, 2007 - 2:37 am
Then I don't understand. When I look at the articles doing 2-level CFA, they got the total, within-, and between- covariance/correlation matrices and calculate the ICC. But, I am doing a 3-level CFA, should I get two within- covariance/correlation matrices to identify the 3 levels?

The ICC for three-levels is the level 3 variance divided by the sum of the level 1, 2, and 3 variances.

I have the same problem. Classes are nested within schools.
my syntax:
cluster = school_id class_id;
Analysis: Type = basic complex twolevel;
But I get only one between covariance matrix and the variance is the same as in the covariance matrix of analyses with "class_id" specified as a single cluster (omitting school cluster).
I expected something like two "between covariance matrices", one for school and one for class.
Btw., is ICC only for manifest outcomes or exists there also an ICC for latent variables, like growth factors?

Forgot to mention: The motivation for my first question above is that I'm interested in determining the additional amount of clustering of data within classes beyond what is caused by schools.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, September 24, 2009 - 1:37 pm
The school clustering associated with COMPLEX is not modeled. The standard errors are adjusted for clustering due to school.
To compute an ICC for a latent variable, divide the between variance by the sum of the within and the between variance.

A Halifax woman has been ordered to repay over £80,000 after admitting to fraudulently obtaining three houses and money laundering.
Sheed Raj, 33, of Highfield Terrace, was also sentenced to 19 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
On Friday, April 11, Raj was ordered to repay a total of £83,552.86 or go to prison for the 19 months at a confiscation hearing at Bradford Crown Court.
Speaking after the hearing, investigation officer Detective Inspector Gary Stephenson said: "We very much welcome this significant confiscation which shows that we will continue to pursue those who benefit from their criminal activities, even after the judge has passed sentence.
"Raj now needs to find this money quickly or go to prison. The money can then be put back into community initiatives and policing projects aimed at improving the quality of life for Calderdale's communities.
"In the past year the award-winning Calderdale POCA team has confiscated a total of £620,664 which is a fantastic testament to their hard work and dogged determination."
West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson said: "Once again we have seen a substantial sum of money ordered to be repaid under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) following the excellent work of West Yorkshire Police and prosecutors.
"I am, however; campaigning to see all this money returned to West Yorkshire, as half is currently recouped centrally by Government.
"If we retain all these criminal assets, it could double the cash available through The Safer Communities Fund which benefits local charities, community groups and organisations in the county.
"Already we have received over 200 applicants for the first round of bids and really underlines the demand that exists here.
"I would encourage people to sign my petition to give all POCA cash back to the communities affected by crime by visiting my website or following the link: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/52046"

Note: This article has done its job, and will be retiring soon. To prevent "Page not found" woes, we're removing links we know about. If you've created links to this page, please remove them, and together we'll keep the web connected.
Increase productivity using SharePoint Foundation 2010 (formerly called Windows SharePoint Services) to share ideas, organize information, and get more work done. Groups can work together more efficiently by setting up internal Web sites and workspaces quickly. SharePoint sites are scalable for organizations of all sizes, ranging from a small team to a global corporation.
Several key enhancements and additions are included in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. With the introduction of the ribbon and improvements to working with SharePoint sites, lists, wikis, blogs and permissions, you'll be able to work in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation more efficiently and intuitively. Work across multiple Internet browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0, Firefox 3.0 and Safari 3.0. Below are some of the highlights in the new version of SharePoint Foundation.
In this article
New user interface
Use the new ribbon to perform tasks quickly and in the context of your work
If you work with 2007 Microsoft Office system client applications such as Microsoft Office Word 2007 or Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you are already familiar with the ribbon. Like the ribbon in these Office programs, the new ribbon in SharePoint Foundation is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete your tasks. Commands are organized in logical groups, displayed together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity, such as working with a document in a document library or adding and formatting text on a page. You can use the ribbon in SharePoint Foundation to:
Access the commands and tools you need all in one place.
Perform actions on pages, documents and lists using only the commands you need, in the context of what you are doing and for the task you want to accomplish.
Use the new co-authoring feature to work simultaneously with colleagues on Word documents or PowerPoint slide presentations
More than one person can edit a Word document or slides in a SharePoint library at the same time. For example, to review a document you can send a link to the document in a SharePoint library, and all of the reviewers can provide their feedback in the document simultaneously.
No more attachments—you can, for example, store all of your recent documents in your team site and work on them at the same time with other colleagues.
Schedule meetings and keep track of your schedule more easily with improved calendars
Managing and tracking your appointments, meetings, and other events is easier because you can:
Display multiple SharePoint and Exchange calendars on a single page.
Easily add events to a calendar by clicking a date and entering details for the event without leaving the calendar.
Drag and drop calendar items from within a calendar.
Use the new Group calendar to schedule meetings with colleagues and schedule resources such as audio visual equipment and meeting rooms.
Use the new Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 to work with SharePoint sites, libraries, and lists offline and synchronize your changes when you are reconnected to your corporate network
SharePoint Workspace now enables you to work with a SharePoint site on your desktop while connected to or disconnected from your corporate network. Major benefits of this integration between SharePoint Workspace and SharePoint Foundation include:
You can quickly view, add, edit and delete SharePoint library documents or list items while you are offline.
Two-way synchronization between your computer and the network—that is, updates to data on your computer or on the network—are automatic while you are connected to the network.
Content is automatically synchronized when you take your computer offline and then go back online.
Share information with others more efficiently with improved wiki and team sites
Working with wiki pages is more streamlined because now you can:
Insert and format content directly on the page by using the new Rich Text Editor.
Browse for images or photos on your local computer or network and insert them into your site without leaving the page you are on.
Manage multiple items in your SharePoint lists more efficiently
Now you can select multiple items in a list and click a button to perform the same action on all the items at the same time. For example, you can check in or check out several documents at the same time.
Create and manage your blogs more easily with improved authoring tools and new navigation
Improvements to the blog authoring experience and better methods for browsing blog posts enable you to:
Use the new Rich Text Editor to more easily and intuitively author your blog posts.
Browse for images or photos on your local computer or network and insert them into your blog posts without leaving the page.
Browse blog entries by month as well as by categories. You can see the number of posts for each month or category in real time. A new Archive link provides access to a view of all months since the blog's inception and, within each month, posts are listed by category.
View and work with SharePoint information from your mobile device
With SharePoint Web Pages optimized for viewing on small devices, you can now view and work with documents, schedules, back-end business data and sites from your mobile phone. New mobile features in SharePoint enable you to:
Use the lightweight interface and navigation for accessing SharePoint document libraries, lists, wikis, blogs, and Web Part Pages.
Access your colleagues' schedules and whereabouts.
Subscribe to text message (SMS) alerts for changes to documents in SharePoint or to any document library or list.
Site management and customization
Several new features related to permissions management, site design and an international user interface optimize how you can use, design and access SharePoint sites and content.
View and adjust permission levels, including item-level permissions, for a particular user or group using the new permissions management tool
New permissions management is available from every site collection, site, list or list item, so that you can easily add or remove users or groups, change permission levels, break inheritance, and manage anonymous access. In addition, you can view and adjust all permission levels granted to a particular user or group.
Change colors and fonts for a site using newly supported theme files.
Use the new Themes Gallery to select from several themes included with SharePoint Foundation, or generate your own theme files from Microsoft PowerPoint and add them to the gallery for selection.
Make your site internationally accessible by changing the language of the site.
With the appropriate language packs installed, you can view settings pages, Help, and application content such as list titles, and column names in your preferred language.
Business Connectivity Services
Business Connectivity Services (BCS) enables SharePoint integration with external data, including line of business applications. BCS builds on top of the Business Data Catalog (BDC) technology delivered in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Use BCS to:
More easily define external content types—previously referred to as "entities"—by using SharePoint Designer's visual interface, without using an XML editor.
Connect to a wider range of data sources—relational databases, SAP, Web services, and custom applications—and interact with them in richer ways, including full create, read, update, and delete support.
Work with external back-end business data offline using the new External List feature.
Create an External List from external content types in SharePoint's Business Connectivity Services to expose business data external to SharePoint. The introduction of External Lists enables you to:
Make business data from a back-end database – such as SQL Server or SEIBEL for example – appear in a SharePoint list, which you can then take offline.
Write back to a back-end database without leaving SharePoint.
