Forward: MEG on ABC's Good Morning America

MEG on ABC's Good Morning America

My friend Dr. Sylvain Baillet sent me this link to a video of a segment that aired recently on ABC, recorded at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee. Please refer to this link (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/MindMoodNews/sixty-seizures-brain-scan-detects-source/story?id=9730383). It includes interviews with Dr. Manoj Raghavan and Sylvain as well as a patient with epilepsy, and shows the process of recording the MEG and the results of analysis. Kudos to Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin!

I did not post here for a while ... bad blogger ...

Install apache php mysql phpmyadmin on Fedora 13

yum install mysql mysql-server
After the installation you can restart the mysql-server by doing this
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Next you need to setup the root password for the server, start the setup process by doing this
mysql_secure_installation
You would be asked for the current root password which is blank to begin with, next you would be asked to set the new root password for the mysql server, after which you would be asked a few Y/n questions, answers to which are not difficult to guess. I chose Y for all of them.
Step 2: Install apache2 its called httpd inside Fedora after the installation start the server
yum install httpd
/etc/init.d/httpd start
Now you can test if your web-server is up and running by opening the http://localhost in your web browser. You should see a page like this.

Step 3: Time to install and test php support. Install it by doing
yum install php mod_suphp
Before we test for php support, you need to restart http server by doing this
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Now create a test.php file using your favorite text editor, say gedit
gedit /var/www/html/test.php
and paste the following content in it and save the file.
phpinfo();
?>
Remember: the /var/www/html is your root web folder, whatever you put in there would become visible to the rest of the world via your web server. Now open the file you created above by pointing your browser to http://localhost/test.php, if you have followed the steps so far correctly you should see something like this

Step 4: Install additional php related packages, especially the one necessary to communicate with mysql and other webserver modules etc.
yum install php-mysql php-magickwand  php-devel php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-eaccelerator php-magpierss php-mapserver php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mhash php-mssql php-shout php-snmp php-soap php-tidy curl curl-devel perl-libwww-perl ImageMagick libxml2 libxml2-devel
Restart the http server  by doing
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Now to ensure that the web server as well as mysql server starts on its own at every boot, do the following (while being root with su - and not su alone)
chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
Step 5: Finally install phpmyadmin
yum install phpmyadmin
Restart apache (httpd) again. If you want to allow phpmyadmin connection from other locations other than localhost, then modify the following file
gedit /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf
by commenting out the following lines

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
allow from ::1
basically replacing the lines above with
# #   order deny,allow #   deny from all #   allow from 127.0.0.1 #   allow from ::1 #
Now you are all set just restart the httpd again by doing
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
