            <description><![CDATA[Over the weekend the VPN problems were fixed, so the Arecibo Binary Radio Pulsar search 
is now also running correctly and sending out new work.  So Einstein@Home has completely recovered and is
back in full operation again!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Einstein@Home project is finally back up and running properly.  The binary radio pulsar
search may not be sending out new work for a couple of more days while we fix some VPN
problems between the WU generator in Hannover and the project database in Milwaukee.
However the S5R5 gravitational-wave search IS sending out plenty of work.
Many thanks again to our loyal volunteers and contributors for their patience!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We have completed the database maintenance and are restarting the Einstein@Home project.
Hopefully this will go well, but please be patient as it may take some time before
everything is working smoothly again. We are advancing the reporting deadlines for work
in progress by 10 days, so that work already completed is not marked as unreturned. Because
of the work on the database, contributors will NOT be able to see the status of work that was already
completed in the past.  However in the future, as before, contributors WILL be able to track this status.
No contributor credits have been forgotten or lost.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The database is still purging, at a rate of about 400,000 workunits per day.  We expect that
this process will be completed by about 06:00 UTC tomorrow.  At that time, we will do some additional
database maintenance (table optimization) and then restart the project.  So in total about another 24
hours will still be needed to bring everything back to normal.  Thanks again for your patience during
this unfortunate and long outage.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We think we have found a simple fix for the database problems.  The database has grown
to 45 GB in size and has gotten too large for the physical memory of the machine that hosts it.
However it turns out that due to some mistakes made in the project operations during the past
weeks, about 80% of the work in the database is already completed. So we are running a db_purge
task tonight that should remove this already-completed work from the database, leaving only the work-in-progress
still in place in the database.  If this is successful, then Einstein@Home should be back up and operating
normally in about another 24 hours.  Thank you for your patience!]]></description>
