Two billion people worldwide are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resulting in 10 million cases of clinical disease and 1.5 million deaths each year. The hurdles for developing a highly protective and durable vaccine against Mtb require addressing four central tenets of T cell immunology – magnitude, quality, breadth, and location of the response. These specific elements of the problem will be addressed by focusing on how altering the route of vaccination using a whole attenuated organism vaccine substantially increases immune responses and protection in a rigorous non-human primate model of Mtb infection.
Gene drive is a mechanism that can promote the preferential inheritance of a beneficial genetic trait, thereby increasing its prevalence in a population. A variety of gene drive mechanisms occur in nature that can cause specific genetic elements to spread throughout populations in varying degrees. Researchers have long sought to harness these naturally occurring gene drive mechanisms to prevent the transmission of mosquito or other insect-borne diseases that pose some of society's most intractable public health problems.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s Fogarty International Center celebrated its 50th anniversary of accomplishments and hosted a Scientific Symposium on May 1st, 2018 at the Natcher Auditorium on NIH's campus. The program convened a series of panel discussions with NIH leaders, Fogarty grantees, and key stakeholders, to identify key gaps in global health research and strategize future research initiatives.
The project provides the FNIH management and advisory services for research programs seeking to develop new cost-effective and sustainable biologic strategies for controlling mosquito-borne infections like malaria and dengue fever.

Court Ruling Could Hamper Drug Innovation
Court Ruling Could Hamper Drug Innovation
Court Ruling Could Hamper Drug Innovation
Linda A. Johnson, AP Business Writer
Drug Discovery & Development - March 04, 2009
(AP) - A US Supreme Court ruling that federal approval of a drug is no protection from lawsuits in state courts could make drugmakers more cautious about safety issues and may lead them to halt development of some medicines and even pull others off the market.
Drug industry analysts said the ruling, upholding a $6.7 million jury award against Wyeth, will make drugmakers scrutinize safety issues of all their experimental drugs in development, as well as existing products.
"They will weigh how prevalent the side effect is, how serious the side effect is, versus the number of people benefiting from the drug and the amount of money being made by the drug," said Erik Gordon, an analyst and professor at University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.
"This is like blood in the water for plaintiff lawyer sharks," and will encourage more lawsuits against the industry, Gordon added.
The case, involving a Vermont musician named Diana Levine who lost her arm after a botched injection of Wyeth's former anti-nausea medication Phenergan, was closely watched by drugmakers, which have been targeted by thousands of lawsuits over serious side effects.
Drugmakers and their trade group, backed by the Bush administration, had argued that product liability lawsuits in state courts are barred, or preempted, if the product and any warnings in the package insert have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. In a 6-3 decision, the court rejected that claim.
Bert Rein, a Washington lawyer who represents Wyeth, told The Associated Press the company was disappointed by the verdict but will pay the jury award promptly. He said Wyeth believed that it could not change the warning in the package insert approved by the FDA, which disclosed the risk of gangrene if an injection of the drug accidentally hit an artery. Rein said the FDA-approved warning left it up to the doctor whether to give it to a patient that way or through a slow intravenous drip or shot in a muscle.
"The practical impact of this is going to be much greater caution" by doctors in deciding whether to use the most effective or least risky method of administering a drug, Rein said.
He said he doesn't expect more lawsuits against drugmakers but expects that they will carefully focus any use of the preemption defense on aspects of the Supreme Court ruling that concern how specifically the FDA reviewed warnings in a package insert and whether there was evidence the agency would have rejected proposed changes in existing labels.
Analyst Steve Brozak of WBB Securities said as a result of the ruling, drugmakers are "going to make a dollars-and-cents decision on what (research) programs will go ahead and what drugs will be pulled" from the market.
"They'll defend the blockbusters, but the smaller drugs with meaningful downside" will be sold to small companies, possibly overseas, or shelved quickly, Brozak said.
Brozak and Gordon, the Michigan professor, said the industry could see a slight reduction in innovation, or a shift to slight improvements in existing drugs rather than breakthroughs, to avoid excessive risk of lawsuits.
Rob Gordon, a plaintiff's lawyer involved in lawsuits over Vioxx and other medicines, said the key impact of the ruling is to preserve the right of "tens of thousands of people injured by products" to bring claims against their makers that would have been barred, had the court ruled differently.
"The FDA relies on the pharmaceutical industry for the safety data," he added. "All too often, we have seen (pharmaceutical) corporations hide unfavorable data from the FDA and mislead FDA officials."
Last year, the Supreme Court agreed with the pre-emption policy in a case involving medical devices. The Court ruled that a patient who was injured by a catheter from Medtronic could not sue the company under state laws, but that case turned on a provision of federal law prohibiting states from imposing their own requirements on the devices. There's no similar provision for drugs.
Since then thousands of lawsuits against Medtronic and other device makers have been dismissed by lower courts, citing the decision. However, Democratic lawmakers have stated their opposition to the ruling and plan to make a push to repeal it later this year.
Wyeth sold the rights to the intravenous version of Phenergan in 2004 to Baxter International Inc., according to Wyeth spokesman Doug Petkus. A syrup version of the drug was sold to another company in 2003, and tablet and suppository forms were both discontinued several years ago.

In civil lawsuits, people frequently have their depositions taken. A deposition is a question and answer session under oath between a witness and at least one attorney. When the witness is testifying on behalf of one party, either the plaintiff or the defendant, Injury Lawyer in Bryanston the opposing party's attorney will do most of the questioning.

There is usually a court reporter present taking down what everyone says on a stenotype machine. There are many reasons for lawyers to take legal depositions.

In fact, Attorney At Law Near Me they are not allowed to speak to them about the case when that person has been designated as a witness for another party. Instead, it must be done in a formal setting. The witness is usually subpoenaed and the lawyer that has designated that person as a witness will usually be present.Information When an attorney believes someone has information that will lead to discoverable evidence in a civil case, they are allowed to take their deposition.

There may be people, objective third parties, who witnessed a car accident or that have factual information that is crucial to the case. Learning what they know about it may shed light on the case before it goes to court.

Though never a Celtic Jerry Sloan could have both been a terrific player and coach for the green and today he steps down as head coach of the Utah Jazz. This is tough if you are a Jazz fan. Even tougher if you are Al Jefferson, Deron Williams and the rest of the young core. The Jazz have been struggling of late playing very inconsistent ball. This is quite surprising though as Sloan recently signed an extension. Should be interesting to see where the Jazz go from here both record, style and personnel wise. Anyone else really want Gordon Hayward coming off the Celtics bench behind Pierce and Ray?The Coach 2/10/2011 02:32:00 PM Tweet Edit
8 Responses so far.
For real, Coach? Bizarre! I tought the Jazz were giving Sloan a year extension of his contract... But then, maybe it´s time for a change in Salt Lake. It would be really tough to do this in the mid of the season. Maybe Jerry decides to postpone his decision...
ᴘᴇᴀɴᴜᴛ ʙᴜᴛᴛᴇʀ ʙ. says:
Really surprising to hear this. I read it on nba.com earlier. Not sure how this will affect the Jazz.
I dont think Gordon Hayward will be coming to the C's.
Three Toe says:
Man I wouldnt have stayed in utah for anything. that place sucks.
Jenda says:
Three toe just hit the nail on the head.
At first I figured Phil Johnson would take over, but he left too. They're attached at the hip lol.
I'm the new head coach!!
semioticus (shelbyl) says:
Wow, this is really out of the blue. Sloan is the last guy I'd expect to resign, he's been there for 23 years. I don't know how Jazz will take this.
I would love to have gordon thatd be awesome. Cray about sloan. Want to see the press conference

There are children in this world who have just a computer to communicate. The challenged children. Maybe they will give you some insight into learning and interacting with a computer. This is a Dutch web site Kiki wants to talk. Its made by her dad, you can translate it with 'babel fish.' --Niels L 15:42, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
I am a speech-language pathologist who specializes in computer-augmented communication (augmentative and alternative communication or AAC). The OLPC laptop would make a very good communication aid for people with disabilities given the right software. There is a tremendous opportunity here for disabled students who might not otherwise have had a chance to participate in education before. Gobo Fraggle 19:25, 12 December 2006 (EST) edited, 22:40, 27 December 2006 (EST)
Reactive Colours provides an engaging, accessible computer environment for spontaneous imaginative play and learning, in which even the most anxious autistic individuals may relax and communicate. Our software can also have a major role to play in the stimulation of language use and the development of early ICT skills.
Our software can freely accessed via our website [2] or could be made available for installation on the OLPC.
Development and release will be through a creative commons licence.
I also see a great potential for this laptop to be successful as a assistive technology for people overseas and in the U.S. The ruggedness of the design and actual affordable price are two factors in the XO's favor. The built in camera and video recorders are HUGE assets as well.
A touchscreen of some sort would be the most important modification I can see that would allow the XO to become a useable AAC device. Of course, good communication software is also important. I intend to try to work on this when I receive my XO.
I think the major limitation I will run into (besides the fact that I am a novice!) is that AAC programs, particularly ones with computerized speech output, tend to take a lot of space on a device that may not have it available.

Ask museums to provide content. In particular, places like The Computer History Museum might be encouraged to provide both virtual museum content and usable simulations of old computers. Thus games could be included in a form which invites the players to revise the game and thus understand how it was made to work at all. This could have benefits beyond OLPC students.

Memorization and Regurgitation Support
At first glance this seems to be counter to constructionist principles but it doesn't have to be that way. Many of the cultures in which the OLPC will be deployed, have strong traditions of rote memorisation and regurgitation of material. Examples are the Chinese with their alphabet of thousands of characters that represent whole words, Islamic countries with memorisation of the Quran, and various African countries in which oral culture is still treasured. Many of the great literary works of western culture such as the Illiad, Kalevala and Rig Veda, began as memorized and regurgitated texts.
There is an old Arab saying There are two doors to learning, memorization and understanding. Unless one has entered the first door, they can not pass through the second.
For example, let's look at how memorization of the Quran could be supported by the OLPC so that children learn it faster and use it as the door to understanding. Instead of distributing the Quran as a plain text file, it could be distributed in XML format with the Arabic text and some Javascript embedded into it. The Javascript could include mouseovers that provide tooltip boxes with translations and explanations in the child's native language. Memorization is easier when the words have meaning.
The XML could have embedded support for voice output of the text. Sometimes a voice output driver needs hints to get the correct pronunciation of certain words; this would be hidden in the XML and used by the voice reader. In voice output, it does not make sense to speak partial words and often not even single words. Therefore, the XML would indicate phrase and sentence boundaries for a speech selection tool. And finally, the Quran is filled with stories and parables that are meant to teach children how to live a good life.
Phrases in the Quran text could be highlighted to indicate that they are links to other content. This content could simply be an exposition of a parable or it could be another application. For example, the phrase Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity could be a link to an application about Islamic banking principles and investment, calculating risk, accounting principles, etc. In this way, the Quran text leads to education in mathematics.
6/19/08 Comment: I am an advocate of constructive learning, but I also know that there is much information that could be learned through memory games. This would be helpful for young people who have suffered a brain injury and require cognitive rehabilitation activities to reclaim lost information and to support learning new terms.
Health and Hygiene Education
for details, see Health
Health and hygiene information should be provided and localized. Guidelines include making material available for young and illiterate audiences, focusing on prevention for older audiences who will care, on engaging presentations for younger audiences, and on information about improving community health.
How-to Construct/Fabricate/Repair Documents
- See the How-tos page for more ideas
Consider including "how-to" construct/fabricate/repair documents. Think of Mother Earth News or the Peace Corps. Wikibooks (part of WikiMedia) probably have some books.
At the least, include information about the laptop itself and how to repair it... so that when one truly goes south, someone else with a laptop can help.

http://pathboston.com/hum is the class wiki. Students each have an account on the wiki and use their webspace there to store their work. There is also a forum http://pathboston.com/4um in use for online discussion. --TimMcKenna 22:49, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
Immersive Microworlds -- Etoys
Consider including as much of the Squeakland Etoys library as there is room for. Most Etoys are small in size and could be included in a single SqueakPlugin.image file.
Content in Spanish
- Wikipedia in CD A proposal, where some Wikipedia users are studying how they can create a Wikipedia CD. - it's possible using the static wikipedia + images - see http://static.wikipedia.org/ and http://download.wikimedia.org/ for further details
- Content from Wikichicos Proposal where users write specifical content for children.
Though these projects do not offer significant content yet, if olpc shows interest and need, surely many Wikipedia users will participate. --Javier Carro 18:20, 19 April 2006 (EDT)
Social Sciences
I hope that the "SOCIAL SCIENCES" are not forgotten, as I request frequently at Science Exhibits: Where are the social sciences exhibits?... I usually get the "...uh?" answer, and I tell them, "yes, the history exhibits, with the history of housing, transportation, communications, labor, etc."
Since the fight against poverty is a motivation for OLPC, some readings about poverty, development, international relationships should be offered to discussion.
An example of easy glossary of economic terms, among which "Poverty", is provided here: http://www.economicswebinstitute.org/concepts.htm A lot of freely downloadble datasets about most countries in the world is connected here: http://www.economicswebinstitute.org/ecdata.htm As soon as OLPC takes off, a special edition of this site, targeted to young people, could be developed.
Medical and public safety/health documents
Information on medicine and public safety is not always available where these laptops are going. Many governments (including the U.S. through NIH) have medical / public health / public safety information that could save lives if provided on the laptop, and at least those could be freely included.
Science Learning
The OLPC is the best-ever electronic device for the support of back-yard and amateur astronomy.
Ask universities to provide content. Good online Physics examples:
Physics interactive exercises http://phet.colorado.edu/ Geometry in similar spirit http://www.geogebra.org/
Educational Commons http://k12edcom.org/ http://www.oercommons.org/
- Animated Satelite imagery
- WeatherSat storms tracking with your geo location as center of screen :location geo data can be found from wikipedia article of a city nearby.
New suggestions (not yet sorted)
- PDA multiplayer sims
- CSE's "featured instructional materials" (unfree)
- TEEMSS (sensor work; Java)
- A guide to grammar and style for writing, similar to Strunk and White's "Elements of Style".
- A reader that helps dramatic performance -- I'm imagining a group who all have the script of a play, who divide up the parts (eventually with hints as to which parts can be doubled?!), and each has their own XO highlight their own lines. (And maybe someone else can be working sound effects from another XO.)
Other ideas for content
Making Connections & Describing Needs
It would be good to hook up laptop users with NGOs interested in helping out. Giving the NGOs a specific place to describe themselves and their services would help laptop users make connections that are hard to make with just a search engine. Also, as the laptop users develop their own pictures of the world, the resources, and the opportunities available to them, they'll need a visible place to record their own needs.
USB Library
This laptop will not have a CD Rom drive. USB will be medium of transport - if no internet connection is available.
Let's not forget that a wide variety of USB peripherals are available and supported by Linux ranging from CD-ROMs and memory-sticks to video cards and soundcards.
Even though the laptop will not have a CD-ROM drive integrated, it is not a far stretch to assume that CD-ROM drives will be readily available. Even in a dirt poor remote agricultural village in Southeast Asia, it is perfectly feasible for a circulating library to travel from village to village on a motorbike with 2 USB CD-ROM drives and a big stack of CD-ROMs containing content. In fact, such a circulating library can also act as an email network by collecting and delivering emails using store-and-foreward techniques. This is not just imagination. There is at least one instance of an email network relying on motorcycles carrying the messages from location to location.
It is worthwhile to do some research in the FidoNET BBS technology which is still in use in the 3rd world to do store and foreward messaging where Internet access is unavailable.
The laptop's unusually high resolution display makes it unusually good for free-view (parallel or cross-eye) stereograms. It requires some practice to pick up the skill. Currently used mostly in journals for protein illustrations, and historically for stereo photographs. But at 200dpi, and young eyes (tiny fonts), one could experiment with a 3D interface. --MitchellNCharity 14:22, 12 January 2007 (EST)
Wow, I've never seen that!
If you have never seen snow, a short video clip of snow falling in the woods could have a high "wow" factor. The kind of thing kids watch again and again and again. Similarly for ocean, mountain, desert, farm, rainforest, savanna, metropolis, cow, whale, raptor, etc, etc. TV and movies take some of the edge off, and you can surf... but consider an example. Say I want a "cow" moment. Just as if I walked up to one. I want a cow face in front of mine, with a ear twitch, blink, and swipe of a big wet nose with a long flexible tongue. What I don't want is fifteen minutes of wading through the internet, google, youtube, etc, trying (unsuccessfully) to find something similar. I want someone to have already groveled around and collected wonderful breathtaking clips. Volunteers? MitchellNCharity 18:44, 1 May 2007 (EDT) (further thoughts on my user page)

Welcome to Java Cabana
Come in and stay awhile...
LOST just might help you find something you have been looking for.
--Mary Burns
"Our goal while on this earth is to transcend our illusions and discover the innate power of our spirit. We are responsible for what we create, and we must therefore learn to act and think with love and wisdom and live in service to others and all life." –Caroline Myss
Just a few weeks ago, a friend of mine encouraged me to watch the series LOST after I shared with her some of my ideas for a sci-fi story. I was hesitant at first but since the episodes were available on Netflix, I decided to commit. Instantly, I found myself enjoying the format of two or more story lines running simultaneously throughout each episode. There was the present moment happening on the island and the past reviewing insight into the lives of the characters stranded on the island. The characters were worth knowing, and the drama that played out among them was often meaningful. I spent countless hours into this series staying up late night after night until I finally reached the end. And now that I have watched all of LOST, I am wondering if I will ever be as moved by another story rather in film or the written word. J.J. Abrams' writing is powerful. In the end, not all the questions that series brings up for the viewer are answered, but what is brought up does attempt to affect our human heart by reminding us of our fragility. Every character in LOST was lost in some way before they came to the island. Some were seeking approval, some were seeking redemption, some were seeking forgiveness, and some were seeking something or someone to believe in—sometimes themselves. Ultimately, the conflicts that took place on the island and between these characters were always about their inner conflicts that were unresolved. The main characters in LOST can be better understood if we view them as archetypal energies that exist in our human consciousness: Jack is the hero; Hugo is the fool; Sayid is the Warrior; Jin & Sun are the Lovers; Sawyer is the Thief; Desmond is the Magician; Ben is the Trickster; John is the Victim; Charlie is the addict; Kate is the prostitute; Shannon is the damsel; and so on. Archetypal energies express the language of our soul. And if we listen, we can learn to recognize the archetypal patterns playing out in our life. Throughout the series, the island holds a mystery for the people stranded there, and the viewer often hears phrases like, "the island is not through with you," or "it's not time yet." If the viewer accepts the island as a metaphor for life, and the timing of events as an indicator of the cycles or patterns we go through in life, then J. J. Abrams' writing can certainly be acknowledged as giving more answers than it does questions.
The final episode in season six creates a circular affect of the overall narratives, where the viewer is asked to look back at all the loss and the struggles every character experienced as many of them "remember," and they begin to help each other remember. The moments of remembering are so heartbreakingly beautiful. What they are remembering are the experiences that taught them how to love, how to forgive, and how to let go. And as anybody that has ever experienced a loss knows, letting go is not easy. To love deeply and lose someone you love is painful and often changes you in ways you cannot control. In the moments of remembering we see flashbacks of where these characters have been and what they have lost. And what they lost was unrecoverable: a child, parents, a chance at love, trust, a marriage, a baby, innocence, a brother, a sister, a mother, new love, self-respect, a husband, a wife, a father, their talent, courage, friendship, their own heart. But when they remembered, we also saw what they found, and we are changed by being their witness. More than we know, in any given moment, our purpose is to be a witness—and maybe being a witness is a result of our soul knowing what it is we need to see.
For me, J.J. Abrams' science-fiction drama, LOST, was not a waste of my time. All my unanswered questions about the mystery of life were momentarily quieted, when I understood on a very heart level that we are going to die one day. We all die. Our lives here are not permanent and no matter what we believe about happens to us in the afterlife, LOST asks us to think about what we are doing in this life. If you think you're lost already, you are probably closer to being found than you realize. And if you don't realize you are lost, you can be certain there is someone in your life trying to help you remember.
J.J. Abrams' final season of LOST stitches all the pieces together when Jack sees his deceased father and with tears in his eyes asks his father how it is possible that he is standing before him. The dialogue between them is an invitation for all of us to remember why we are here. J.J. Abrams seems to suggest we have a purpose. Though we may never know if the random or seemingly fateful connections we make in this life are based on past life experiences, some kind of parallel universe, or adopted social conditions and inherited worn out patterns of behavior, it doesn't seem to matter. Love is all that is real.
Jack: "I don't understand." "You died."
Jack's father: "Yes. Yes, I did."
Jack: "Then how are you here right now?"
Jack's father: "How are you here?"
Jack: (chokes on his answer) "I died, too."
Jack's father: (approaches Jack) "It's okay. It's okay son."
(Jack and his father embrace. Jack is crying.)
Jack: "Are you real?"
Jack's father: "I sure hope so. Yeah, I am real. You are real. Everything that ever happened to you is real. All those people in the church, they are real, too."
Jack: "They are all dead?"
Jack's father: "Everybody dies sometime, kiddo. Some of them died before you. Some of them died long after you."
Jack: "Why are they all here now?"
Jack's father: "Well, there is no NOW, here."
Jack: "Where are we dad?"
Jack's father: "Well, this is a place you all made together , so you could find one another. The most important part of your life-- was the time you spent with these people. That is why all of you are here. Nobody does it all alone . . . you needed all of them, and they needed you."
Jack: "For what?"
Jack's father: "To remember
—and to let go."
Happy Summertime.
In Memphis, TN it's too hot to walk barefoot on the streets. Yes ma'am. The heat is a mighty force and we are asked to bear it. Meanwhile, the opportunity to keep an open heart and drink iced coffee is a good option. I am feeling grateful.
My Gemini heart celebrated another birthday with family and friends and felt ever so loved by the good people in my life. There is something to be said about gathering with kindred spirits. I believe it makes us stronger and sometimes it's the medicine we need to heal and just to feel better about being on the planet. And this is why I keep my doors open at the cafe. There is an open space waiting to be filled with writers, wanderers, the broken-hearted, the stubborn, the seeker, the passerby, and disbeliever, the dreamer and maybe sometimes their paths cross there and maybe they enter and go one at a time. But it's a joy to see the room filled with a community hand-stitched by what the day brings. So I welcome you all.
love and light,

Come in the evening and you're likely to hear live music, a bit of poetry, or quite possibly view an art opening. Check our events page for more info.
Java featured in Flipside Memphis
Every city of any size has a coffee shop with an open mic night where local talent can cut their teeth in front of an audience. Memphis' version is the tiny Java Cabana, where kids from the scene get caffinated and experience a little bit of what their peers have to offer. The hideaway hangout for poets has become minorly famous in its own way, appearing in not only $5 Cover, but also Morgan Jon Fox's breakout OMG/HaHaHa (Q&A with writer/director). The open-minded crowd and nurturing atmosphere makes open mic night one of the most interesting evenings in Memphis. From a knock-down, throw-out chess game to music you won't find anywhere else in the city, there's always something on offer at Java Cabana. Source: Live from Memphis
Spiritual Healing
Java in the news
Sinking into cushy sofas in shades of dusty mustard and bruised avocado, a crowd in weather-beaten T-shirts and flowing skirts nursed mismatched mugs of steamy joe. Seated before the mellow gathering, Valerie June, formerly of Bella Sun, belted out a throaty, heart-jerking melody.
June, who has plans to release a solo album this summer, got her start after playing her first live gig at Java Cabana's Open Mike Poetry Night. The Thursday evening event, which usually ropes in poets and a host of musicians, is said to be the longest-running poetry reading in Memphis.

Ex-Red Hatters eye Larry's MySQL wobblers
Lessons from Sun: back to PostgreSQL
Pg West 2010 EnterpriseDB is changing its tune, hoping to snag defectors from MySQL as well as Oracle's proprietary database.
The PostgreSQL-based company told The Reg that it's now trying to engage more with the PostgreSQL community by sponsoring events like this week's Pg West 2010 in San Francisco, where it can evangelize the platform and bring developers, customers, and partners together. Also, EnterpriseDB hopes to make more of the fact that it employs what it called a "large" number of committers, plus two of PostgreSQL's core community members.
Earlier this year, EnterpriseDB hired the former head of Sun Microsystems' MySQL business, Karen Tegan Padir, as vice president of products and marketing.
Padir had led technology and engineering at MySQL after Marten Mickos left Sun, and she had served as vice president of Sun's GlassFish, Identity Management, and SOA products.
Chief executive Ed Boyajian told The Reg the goal is to become like Red Hat is to Linux. Red Hat is synonymous with its base project, and it cultivates a community feeding its commercial product. A lofty goal, as Red Hat Linux is based on the popular Fedora distro that hit version 14 this week. Plus, it's hard to just kick-start a developer community in an area where MySQL has made the running.
This the first time a business has tried to put some corporate muscle behind PostgreSQL to focus the community. Sun began pushing PostgreSQL as the alternative to MySQL through integration with Solaris starting in 2005, and it hired PostgreSQL brain Josh Berkus to work on integration. That was just as Padir re-joined Sun after a stint at Red Hat and just before Sun bought MySQL in 2008.
EnterpriseDB's branded version of PostgreSQL is its Postgres Plus product. The company's primary message since being founded in 2004 has been compatibility with Oracle's proprietary database, a message designed to help persuade corporate suits they can afford to make the switch.
"We still have the Oracle compatibility - that's what we were mostly known for," Boyajian said Thursday. "We've set out to change that from not so much the Oracle compatible company to be the enterprise PostgreSQL company - we're to PostgreSQL what Red Hat is to Linux."
Boyajian was brought in by EnterpriseDB's management in June 2008 from Red Hat, where he was vice president and general manager for North American sales. Padir's period at Red Hat saw her become vice president of engineering.
EnterpriseDB's switch is timely. Boyajian and Padir claim they've had a surge of interest from Oracle's MySQL customers concerned that the suppler of their tier-two database, MySQL, is now the same company supplying their tier-one database: Oracle. Oracle still drives the majority of EnterpriseDB's business, but MySQL is now about 20 per cent.
That surge came before Oracle this week doubled the price of MySQL, while removing the InnoDB transaction engine from the embedded edition of its product, used by ISVs and OEMs.
"We get questions form existing MySQL customers asking can PostgreSQL do for me what MSQL did?" Boyajian said. "We've seen a very, very large increase in downloads of MySQL migration whitepapers and wizards. It's not an area we've spent too much focus on."
Padir believes building the community around PostgreSQL will make the project and EnterpriseDB's product more appealing from a contributors' point of view.
While people can contribute changes to MySQL, the Oracle Contributor Agreement for MySQL that was written by Sun assigns copyright to Oracle in addition to the code's owner. Given Oracle's developing a penchant for not playing by the rules elsewhere in the community (cough, JCP), that commitment's about as valuable as the digital paper it's written on. PostgreSQL is licensed under the BSD-like PostgreSQL License, where you - the contributor - keep all rights.
Also, Padir reckoned, while anybody could submit changes to MySQL actually having them accepted was another matter, owing to the database's sheer complexity. It came down to Sun developers who knew the project intimately as to whether your code got added.
But now large numbers of those experts have either left or are leaving Oracle. Oracle has made it clear it's following a roadmap it wants on features in the paid versions of MySQL. Both facts will make it even less likely you'll get the features you requested added to the paid version of MySQL you're using.
Nothing is selfless in business, not even open source, and EnterpriseDB hopes that by rallying a PostgreSQL community it can focus what is a disparate set of developers who have day jobs. MySQL benefited from the fact a large number of the engineers and maintainers were contained within a single operation (before Oracle bought Sun).
Boyajian told us: "The more PostgreSQL is among developers and users, the more business we can throw our business at."
EnterpriseDB will keep working on compatibility with Oracle, he said, but if MySQL customers want to escape the grip of Oracle over the long-term - rather than just pay low-priced support costs by turning to a MySQL support start-up - then PostgreSQL provides a better option.
Let's hope EnterpriseDB's commitment to PostgreSQL and the community lasts longer than Sun's. ®

The xPlusz commands are documented in the xPlusz README file http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showth...threadid=18394

Where can i get explanations about xPlusz commands what exactly is TivoTittle and whats it do? Mvchannels?.....my guide seems to be slow, when i open it at first the shows pop in one at a time like its loading them straight from thr stream...i thought the tivo has a 14 day guide into its HD?

I want to start by thanking Superzap and all others for their hard work.
I agree with Dgthorse. Eventhough the xplusz readme file describes all of the commands, I think that a short explanation of what each command does (hack) would be helpful for us non-geniuses newbies.
The hacks included in xplusz I have figured out (I think) so far are the following:
- NOPPV = Allows to record future ppv events.
- ADDLOCS = Activate local channels available in your spotbeam.
- NOPHONE = Allows receiver to work without dialing home.
- T30SS = Allows to skip video in 30 seconds intervals.
- CALLER ID= Activates telephone caller id function.
- NOSDD = Prevents unwanted software updates coming from the satellite stream.
- TEMPMON = Monitors the receiver's temperature.
- OPTOUT = Prevent upload viewing habits when phone line is plugged in.
I still need to figure out:
Can anybody help me fill in the blanks?
Thanks for any help.
Well, I'll take these four:I still need to figure out:
- FIXDEMO = If you get a message that interrupts live TV a lot, saying "A tour of Tivo Central". You need to use this to fix it.
- TIVOTITLE = Listings in "Now showing" will have a more detailed description (including episode details). For example Instead of just saying "Friends", the listing will say "Friends:The one with the smelly baby" or something like that.
- EBD = Enables backdoors. The old way of doing this was with a code in 'search by title' with the remote. You can change some backdoor settings, like making the tivo jump back a little less when hitting play after fast forwarding, stuff like that.
- CRON = I don't know much about cron, but from what I gather, it enables you to run hacks at various intervals throughout the day, while using minimal reasources. For example, you can run the noppv hack every 4 hours, if you want?
there you go now not only do i know the command but i know what the commands actually do ....if there are any more please post.
- TIVOWEB - Starts a webserver on your Tivo that permits you to manipulate your Tivo through an internet browser.
- MFSSTREAM - Starts a server that permits you to download your recorded programs to another computer from TIVOWEB
- TELNET - Telnet is a terminal program that lets you 'login' to your tivo and get a bash (command line) prompt. From the command line you can start programs, edit files, change permissions ect.. This command starts a telnet server on your tivo.
- TIVOFTPD - FTP is File Transfer Protocol. This is a server that you can start on your tivo. This program allows you to 'ftp' in to your tivo and move files to and from your tivo.
- NOSCRAMBLE - Your DTivo records programs scrambled. Scrambled programs are useless if you want to offload them to a computer. Noscramble disables the scrambling.
Hi All... I think I have everything figured out except the following three...
Can anyone give a short explanation on these?
BTW: Fantastic site! And 2.5.2 is great!
SMBFS = Samba file system support. Samba is a name for "windows for workgroups" (aka windows file sharing) software on *nix.
Anyone else on the other two?
I thought READONLY when enabled would set read-only access during a reboot, such as the command: mount -o remount,ro /
Ok. I liked the idea of this thread... so I figured why not revive it...
My question is about cron. How's about a little explanation on how to use it instead of just what it does!
Many thanx
Yeah that would be great! I understand that cron is a scheduler for processes but what processes would need to be scheduled to run on Tivo??
CRON is a program to run things at Chronologial time. That is you can scedule prorams to run on a regular scedule (like remove the ppv flags once a day at 5AM, rotate out the logs, check for updates, etc). It was ported to Tivo becase so many authors wrote scripts that ran constantly, sleeping untill some interval.
To clear up what was said about SMBFS, it stands for Server Message Block File System. Contrary to popular belief Microsoft did not invent SMB nor CIFS. If you really care it was invented by IBM and published as a protocal (NetBIOS) in 1984. Samba is SMB for Unix written by Andrew Tridgel, et al. (he should be familiar to most of you http://tivo.samba.org)
Thanx but I know ~WHAT~ it does....
I wanted to know ~HOW~ to use it. How do I tell it to run this script at 8am...that one at 11pm... and so on....
The crontab file that is used on the xupgrade is in /hack/etc directory which is different than the standard install where it is in /var/hack/etc/. And remember that the time on a tivo that cron uses is gmt time so you have to adjust for your timezone.

She was recognized as the best educator in the Sarasota County school district.
Jacqueline McCormick, the former Pine View teacher who was once recognized as the best educator in the district, infused history anywhere she could.
She traveled with her family across the country to see where Abraham Lincoln was born or what the state capitol in Alaska looked like.
At school, she asked her students to interview their relatives about President John F. Kennedy's magnetism when they studied the 1960s.
"It makes history seem real in a way that's not when you're reading a textbook," said Dan Bashara, a 2000 Pine View graduate.
Former students and colleagues remembered McCormick as a dedicated educator after the Sarasota resident died Friday at age 74 after a brief illness.
A memorial service is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, 5394 Midnight Pass Road.
McCormick, the Sarasota County Schools' "Teacher of the Year" in 1978, was known for her deadpan humor and creative lessons.
An elementary teacher inspired McCormick to become an educator herself, said her daughter Jacqueline McCormick Jr.
Her mother, a 1961 Florida State graduate, taught at Miami-Dade County Schools until she moved to Sarasota County Schools in 1974.
McCormick taught at Pine View School from 1974-1987 and then left to become the director of the PALS volunteer program.
After a brief retirement, she returned to Pine View for several years in the 1990s and 2000s before she retired again, according to school staff.
Even after hours, McCormick did not lose her teacher demeanor.
At dinner, she pulled out paper and gave multiple quizzes to her two daughters on random trivia, such as the Kentucky Derby. Anytime "Jeopardy!" was on, you could count on the family watching it together.
"It was fun. It was never tedious. It was always about fun and passion," her daughter said.
At school, McCormick was full of humor, a rare time that Bashara realized that his teacher was indeed a real person, he said.
"It was the way she had fun. You could see it was her real personality," said Bashara, a graduate student at Northwestern University. "It wasn't a classroom persona. It was Mrs. McCormick."
McCormick once asked her class a question that was simple enough: whether they had finished their homework.
But the class procrastinated, so the room emitted an awkward silence.
McCormick was not angry.
"If you can't answer this question, I'm going to cry," Bashara recounted her saying.
It was a quip so memorable that he sometimes uses it now when he teaches, he said, crediting McCormick's passion as a reason why he went into education.
McCormick also helped start up the school's History Fair, a contest where students research and develop their own projects to compete with other schools across the country.
The program is still running after McCormick's retirement, said Pine View teacher Patricia Ann Regan, who now leads it.
Regan credited McCormick for finding the humanity in U.S. history for students.
"History is not just about dates and events. It's the story of people," Regan said. "That's what helped to make history come more alive to her students."
McCormick is also survived by her other daughter, Pamela McCormick, of Atlanta, and her four grandsons: Dallas Thomas, Evan and Elijah. She is preceded in death by her husband, Clair McCormick.

I wanted to share my story I have been using real you for about 6 months and have had massive results with in the first few months it was like a new me looking back through the mirror.
Thank you real-u ♥
My skin is nowhere near perfect yet but i'm extremely happy as it's only been 3 weeks. my acne is very hormonal and this has been able to calm it down and lessen the amount of breakouts i'm having! my skin is still quite oily but i've definitely seen improvement with oil production. so so so happy thank you so much for creating these products
- charlie
My skin itself has never been smoother and my acne over the last few months has never been better! I started with their green Control Serum and once I saw improvements and used up my first order I bought the Red Control Serum. I use the face wash, serum and moisturiser and love the results! Their website says what they do best: "Our unique Australian made formula works with your skin, not against it, to control the oils on your skin and help clear, heal and prevent breakouts, all while rebuilding the health of your skin." So thank you Real U for making a product that actually cares for my skin!
"I'm loving my skin at the moment, my face is still a progress but using the control plus skin kit has improved my body acne tremendously!! every day i'm becoming more confident!
thank you💕💕☀☀☀
The redness is completely gone! just a few dark marks but they are slowly fading away with real-u"
It's been 9 months since I began using your products. These are my amazing results! Thank you!!
I no longer feel too insecure to go outside without makeup, I feel confident and my skin is glowing.
I never thought I would say goodbye to my cystic acne without medication.
I have been using the control + pack. Couldn't recommend this brand enough 😍😍💗💗
Hi realu! Would just love to say thank-you for creating this amazing product ! In February 2017 I began to struggle with acne worse than I'd ever experienced. It made me anxious and really challenged my self esteem. Realu saved my confidence and my skin and I can't thank you enough. My skin is feeling clear and I am carefree
Alex 💓
I have been suffering with adult acne for over 10 years and have tried everything including antibiotics. I read so many Real-U reviews and decided to give it a whirl and I am so glad I did!
These photos are just over 3 weeks apart and for the first time in so long my skin is no longer sore and inflamed 🙌🏼
I am absolutely in love 💕
- @lisa__ekin
I left it a few more weeks and has now cleared up it's amazing how much better my face looks/feels! The clearest my face has looked in years! X
Last photo was today massive difference after 3 weeks! So so happy 😊
real-u gave me my confidence back. I got to the stage where I didn't want to go out anywhere I felt so gross, I couldn't leave the house without makeup on and I really didn't want to leave at all. But almost four months later all gone!
- @jo__vintage
Pretty proud of my results and journey!
I'd love to enter the beauty of the week comp as I think I've come a long way!
I never really had acne growing up, I was the lucky one with clear as day skin and the odd little guy that would come and go before I could even get to it.
However as soon as I turned 27 and moved back home from living in the Canadian mountains for a couple of years, I broke out worse than I knew my skin was capable of! I had deep cystic acne, whiteheads, and everything in between. Nothing was working and the doctor said I should go on Roaccutane but I knew I didn't have the will to go through that.
After well over $2000 on failed remedies I gave Real-U a go because I really had nothing to lose (except more money) and slowly but surely I started to see less spots come up. Then the spots stopped coming and the ones that were there were clearing up too!
I stuck to it and even though a few little spots popped up around that special time of the month, I was on the road to recovery.
Now my skin is, honestly, the best it's ever been and I just wear light minerals powder as my foundation and I walk with my head up high feeling beautiful!
Thank you so much for this line! It's saved my skin and confidence. I'm a customer for life!

"RARE" IS NOT RARE... at least when it comes to corpse flowers. The word "rare" is probably the word you're most likely to see in any headline or news item dealing with the enormous, over-sized, oh-so-smelly buds. But this makes sense given the fact that corpse flowers are not exactly as commonplace as, say, daisies. Nor do daisies effuse an odor that bystanders would describe as deathly or so gasp-inducing that one must pinch their nose in the flower's presence. This rarity, and rare foul funk, makes the corpse flower -- or Titan Arum, if you prefer -- quite the crowd-pleaser when one does bloom. And one is about to, in Santa Barbara, following on the flowery heels -- or, um, petals -- of the giant that just unfurled in Washington D.C. earlier this week.
CORPSE 411: It's actually a "huge perennial herb," says the University of California Santa Barbara Public Affairs site, which gives you one clue as to where you'll need to head to see the flower when it does burst. It's located at the UCSB greenhouse, and researchers are keeping an eye on its "frilly outer skirt" which is really just a "modified leaf" for signs that the smell -- and show -- are soon to come. And once the bloom starts the admiring must commence and commence quickly: The bloom's full glory can last for as little as two days. Pair that with the fact that a bloom can be seven to ten years in the making.
Oof. But the show, though short, is a splashy one: Titan Arum, which hails from Indonesia, can push to ten feet in height. Meaning? You'll probably never get one in a bouquet from the local florist.
MEET THE SB FLOWER: There's a live feed up on the UCSB site to keep up-to-the-minute track of the flowering sitch. (Well, a new photo goes up every five minutes.) Once the flower blooms, visiting hour updates will be posted on Chanel's Facebook page. Oh, wait, that's a quirky bit of info: Chanel is the name of this particular corpse flower. Cute, yes? And a little cheeky. Chanel, by the way, is one of four Titan Arums at UCSB, and "is the progeny of Tiny," another in-house corpse flower. Did you see Tiny bloom back in 2002? If so, best check out her star offspring Chanel when the malodorous magic starts to happen.
