Platform HPC makes it easy for you to harness the power, flexibility, and scalability of your HPC cluster. Whether you have a small or large cluster, Platform HPC quickly gets your cluster up and running. It simplifies the application integration process so that you can focus on your work, instead of managing your cluster.
Most Complete HPC Management Product
Other HPC cluster solutions combine multiple tools and interfaces, which are not integrated, certified, or tested together. Platform HPC is the industry's easiest and most complete management product. It includes a mature, robust set of management capabilities that are accessible through a unified portal interface. Backed by the industry's best customer support, Platform HPC incorporates nearly two decades of product and technology leadership. Platform HPC comes complete, with the following features:
Integrated application support.
Easy application integration, minimal job submission errors.
Platform HPC enables you to fully harness the power of your cluster to optimize application performance. High performing, HPC-optimized MPI libraries come integrated with the solution, making it easy to get your parallel MPI applications up and running.
Scripting guidelines and job submission templates for commonly used commercial applications simplify job submission, reduce setup time and minimize operation errors. Once your applications are up and running, Platform HPC improves application performance by intelligently scheduling resources based on workload characteristics.
Using Platform HPC you can quickly provision and manage HPC clusters with unprecedented ease. It ensures maximum uptime and can transparently synchronize files to cluster nodes without any downtime or re-installation.
Platform HPC includes a robust workload scheduling capability, which is based on Platform LSF — the industry's most powerful, comprehensive, policy driven workload management solution for engineering and scientific distributed computing environments.
By scheduling workloads intelligently according to policy, Platform HPC improves end user productivity with minimal system administrative effort. In addition, it allows HPC user teams to easily access and share all computing resources, while reducing time between simulation iterations.
Platform HPC includes an operational dashboard that provides comprehensive administrative reports. It enables you to make timely decisions and proactively manage compute resources against business demand. By correlating workload information with system load, you can easily identify issues with your cluster and troubleshoot issues with your jobs. When it's time for capacity planning, you can use the unified web portal to run detailed reports and analyses which quantify user needs and remove the guess work from capacity expansion.
While command-line savvy users can continue using the command line interface, Platform HPC also provides a unified web portal that makes it easy to submit, monitor, and manage jobs. As changes are made to the cluster configuration, Platform HPC automatically re-configures key components, ensuring that jobs are allocated to the appropriate resources.
The unified web portal is customizable and provides job data management, remote visualization and interactive job support. It also provides an interactive environment to easily package software as kits for application deployment as well as pre-integrated commercial application support.
Automated operating system selection based on workload
Platform HPC supports image-based installs, allowing cluster nodes to be rapidly cloned while also providing support for diskless nodes. Because of this, Platform HPC can deploy multiple operating system versions concurrently on the same resource and, based on job resource requirements, dynamically boot the Linux or Windows operating system required to run the job.
You can also use a web interface to manually switch nodes to the required OS to meet application demands, providing you with the flexibility to support special requests and accommodate unanticipated changes.
Take advantage of high performing GPUs
Platform HPC provides the capability to schedule jobs only to resources with GPUs. This is particularly advantageous in heterogeneous hardware environments as it means that administrators can configure Platform HPC so that only those jobs that can benefit from running on GPUs are allocated to those resources. This frees up CPU-based resources to run other jobs. Using the unified management interface, administrators can monitor the GPU performance as well as detect ECC errors.
Accelerates and scales HPC applications, for shorter time to solution.
Platform MPI
In order to make it easier to get parallel applications up and running, Platform HPC includes the industry's most robust and highest performing MPI implementation, Platform MPI. Platform MPI provides consistent performance at application run-time and for application scaling, resulting in top performance results across a range of third-party benchmarks.
Open Source MPI
Platform HPC also includes various other industry standard MPI implementations. This includes MPICH1, MPICH2 and MVAPICH1, which are optimized for cluster hosts connected via InfiniBand, iWARP or other RDMA based interconnects.

Testing all possible combinations would be too time consuming and would require enormous amounts of sample. One approach to find suitable crystallization conditions is the Sparse-Matrix method. This method involves screening with an intentional bias towards conditions which have been proven successful in the crystallization of biological macromolecules.
In 1991, Jancarik and Kim published 50 conditions, which were derived from previously crystallized proteins [1]. These and other conditions form the basis of the JBScreen Basic system [1,2]. However, JBScreen Basic is designed to fit the 24-well plate format and like in all other JBScreen crystallization kits, we abstained from the use of cacodylate buffers and replaced them with MES. JBScreen Basic contains 96 unique reagent mixtures for screening a wide range of pH and various salts and precipitants. Each condition of the four kits is supplied in 10 ml quantities. For high-throughput users, we offer all 96 conditions in pre-filled deep well blocks.
Individual Conditions of all screens are available in 10 ml as well as 100 ml volumes. Please follow this link.

Since we were already at Walmart, we picked up all of our Duck Tape® there. It's cheap and they have 5 million options. Seriously, had no idea how far they had evolved from the grey stuff my dad had in the garage when I was a kid.
- Duck Tape® - As many rolls and colors as you'd like (you'll need at least one roll of the small size for the edges)
- Fabric scrap - About 10" x 10"
- Velcro dots - or anything you'd like to use to close your case
- Scissors
- Ruler
Step 5: Tape the sides using Ducklings (yes, that's what they are called... how cute is that?!) or smaller size roll of tape.

(a) Supportive services or funding for such services may be provided by state, local, public or private providers and CHSP funds. A CHSP under this section shall provide meal and other qualifying services for program participants (and other residents and nonresidents, as described in § 700.125(a)) that are coordinated on site.
(b) Qualifying supportive services are those listed in section 802(k)(16) and in section 700.105.
(c) Meal services shall meet the following guidelines:
(a) Each grantee must have at least one service coordinator who shall perform the responsibilities listed in section 802(d)(4).
(b) The service coordinator shall comply with the qualifications and standards required by the Secretary concerned. The service coordinator shall be trained in the subject areas set forth in section 802(d)(4), and in any other areas required by the Secretary concerned.
(c) The service coordinator may be employed directly by the grantee, or employed under a contract with a case management agency on a fee-for-service basis, and may serve less than full-time. The service coordinator or the case management agency providing service coordination shall not provide supportive services under a CHSP grant or have a financial interest in a service provider agency which intends to provide services to the grantee for CHSP.
(d) The service coordinator shall:
(1) Provide general case management and referral services to all potential participants in CHSP. This involves intake screening, upon referral from the grantee of potential program participants, and preliminary assessment of frailty or disability, using a commonly accepted assessment tool. The service coordinator then will refer to the professional assessment committee (PAC) those individuals who appear eligible for CHSP;
(2) Establish professional relationships with all agencies and service providers in the community, and develop a directory of providers for use by program staff and program participants;
(3) Refer proposed participants to service providers in the community, or those of the grantee;

(e) The service coordinator shall tailor each participant's case plan to the individual's particular needs. The service coordinator shall work with community agencies, the grantee and third party service providers to ensure that the services are provided on a regular, ongoing, and satisfactory basis, in accordance with the case plan approved by the PAC and the participant.
(f) Service coordinators shall not serve as members of the PAC.
(2) The PAC shall utilize procedures that ensure that the process of determining eligibility of individuals for congregate services affords individuals fair treatment, due process, and a right
(3) The dollar value of PAC members' time spent on regular assessments after initial approval of program participants may be counted as match. If a community agency discharges the duties of the PAC, staff time is counted as its imputed value, and if the members are volunteers, their time is counted as volunteer time, according to sections 700.145(c)(2) (ii) and (iv).
(1) Perform a formal assessment of each potential elderly program participant to determine if the individual is frail. To qualify as frail, the PAC must determine if the elderly person is deficient in at least three ADLs, as defined in section 700.105. This assessment shall be based upon the screening done by the service coordinator, and shall include a review of the adequacy of the informal support network (
(2) Determine if non-elderly disabled individuals qualify under the definition of person with disabilities under section 700.105. If they do qualify, this is the acceptance criterion for them for CHSP. Persons with disabilities do not require an assessment by the PAC;
(3) Perform a regular assessment and updating of the case plan of all participants;
(4) Obtain and retain information in participant files, containing such information and maintained in such form, as HUD or RHS shall require;
(5) Replace any members of the PAC within 30 days after a member resigns. A PAC shall not do formal assessments if its membership drops below three, or if the qualified medical professional leaves the PAC and has not been replaced.
(6) Notify the grantee or eligible owner and the program participants of any proposed modifications to PAC procedures, and provide these parties with a process and reasonable time period in which to review and comment, before adoption of a modification;
(7) Provide assurance of nondiscrimination in selection of CHSP participants, with respect to race, religion, color, sex, national origin, familial status or type of disability;
(8) Provide complete confidentiality of information related to any individual examined, in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974;
(9) Provide all formal information and reports in writing.
(2) No PAC member may be affiliated with organizations providing services under the grant.
(3) Individuals or staff of third party organizations that act as PAC members may not be paid with CHSP grant funds.
(2) The PAC, upon completion of a potential program participant's initial assessment, must make a recommendation to the service coordinator for that individual's acceptance or denial into CHSP.
(3) Once a program participant is accepted into CHSP, the PAC must provide a supportive services case plan for each participant. In developing this plan, the PAC must take into consideration the participant's needs and wants. The case plan must provide the minimum supportive services necessary to maintain independence.
(1) Gains physical and mental health and is able to function without supportive services, even if only for a short time (in which case readmission, based upon reassessment to determine the degree of frailty or the disability, is acceptable);
(2) Requires a higher level of care than that which can be provided under CHSP; or
(3) Fails to pay services fees.
(i) Serving the participant with a written notice containing a clear statement of the reasons for termination;
(ii) A review of the decision, in which the participant is given the opportunity to present written or oral objections before a person other than the person (or a subordinate of that person) who made or approved the termination decision; and
(iii) Prompt written notification of the final decision to the participant.
(2) Procedures must ensure that any potential or current program participant, at the time of initial or regular assessment, has the option of refusing offered services and requesting other supportive services as part of the case planning process.
(3) In situations where an individual requests additional services, not initially recommended by the PAC, the PAC must make a determination of whether the request is legitimately a needs-based service that can be covered under CHSP subsidy. Individuals can pay for services other than those recommended by the PAC as long as the additional services do not interfere with the efficient operation of the program.
(a) Before actual acceptance into CHSP, potential participants must work with the PAC and the service coordinator in developing supportive services case plans. A participant has the option of accepting any of the services under the case plan.
(b) Once the plan is approved by the PAC and the program participant, the participant must sign a participatory agreement governing the utilization of the plan's supportive services and the payment of supportive services fees. The grantee annually must renegotiate the agreement with the participant.
(2) Section 802(i)(1)(B)(ii) creates a cost-sharing provision between grantee and the Secretary concerned if total participant fees collected over a year are less than 10 percent of total program cost. This provision is subject to availability of appropriated grant funds. If funds are not available, the grantee must assume the funding shortfall.
(2) Matching funds may include:
(i) Cash (which may include funds from Federal, State and local governments, third party contributions, available payments authorized under Medicaid for specific individuals in CHSP, Community Development Block Grants or Community Services Block Grants, Older American Act programs or excess residual funds with the approval of the Secretary concerned),
(ii) The imputed dollar value of other agency or third party-provided direct services or staff who will work with or provide services to program participants; these services must be justified in the application to assure that they are the new or expanded services of CHSP necessary to keep the program participants independent. If services are provided by the state, Indian tribe, unit of general local government, or local nonprofit housing sponsor, IHA, PHA, or for-profit or not-for-profit owner, any salary paid to staff from governmental sources to carry out the program of the grantee and any funds paid to residents employed by the Program (other than from amounts under a contract under section 700.155) is allowable match.
(iii) In-kind items (these are limited to 10 percent of the 50 percent matching amount), such as the current market value of donated common or office space, utility costs, furniture, material, supplies, equipment and food used in direct provision of services. The applicant must provide an explanation for the estimated donated value of any item listed.
(iv) The value of services performed by volunteers to CHSP, at the rate of $5.00 an hour.
(i) PHA operating funds;
(ii) CHSP funds;
(iii) Section 8 funds other than excess residual receipts;
(iv) Funds under section 14 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, unless used for service coordination or case management; and
(v) Comprehensive grant funds unless used for service coordination or case management;
(2) Local government contributions are limited by section 802(i)(1)(E).
(2) Food Stamps; and
(3) Contributions or donations to other eligible programs acceptable as matching funds under section 700.145(c).
(2) The fees for residents receiving meal services less frequently than as described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section shall be in an amount equal to 10 percent of the adjusted income of the project resident, or the cost of providing the services, whichever is less.
(1) These actions may be taken for:
(i) A grantee's non-compliance with the grant agreement or HUD or RHS regulations;
(ii) Failure of the grantee to provide supportive services within 12 months of execution of the grant agreement.
(2) Sanctions include but are not limited to the following:
(i) Temporary withholding of reimbursements or extensions or renewals under the grant agreement, pending correction of deficiencies by the grantee;
(ii) Setting conditions in the contract;
(iii) Termination of the grant;
(iv) Substitution of grantee; and
(v) Any other action deemed necessary by the Secretary concerned.
(1) Grantees funded initially under this part shall be eligible to receive continued, non-competitive renewals after the initial five-year term of the grant.
(2) Grantees will receive priority funding and grants will be renewed within time periods prescribed by the Secretary concerned.
Grantees funded initially under 42 U.S.C. 8001 shall be eligible to receive continued, non-competitive funding subject to its availability. These grantees will be eligible to receive priority funding under this part if they comply with the regulations in this part and with the requirements of any NOFA issued in a particular fiscal year.
(a) Grantees shall submit annually to the Secretary concerned, a report evaluating the impact and effectiveness of CHSPs at the grant sites, in such form as the Secretary concerned shall require.
(b) The Secretaries concerned shall further review and evaluate the performance of CHSPs at these sites and shall evaluate the Program as a whole.
(c) Each grantee shall submit a certification with its application, agreeing to cooperate with and to provide requested data to the entity responsible for the Program's evaluation, if requested to do so by the Secretary concerned.
The Secretary concerned may reserve funds subject to section 802(o). Requests to utilize supplemental funds by the grantee shall be transmitted to the Secretary concerned in such form as may be required.
In addition to the Federal Requirements set forth in 24 CFR part 5, the following requirements apply to grant recipient organizations in this program:
(2) The Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Program requirements of 24 CFR part 200, subpart M, and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 108; and
(3) Racial and ethnic collection requirements—Recipients must maintain current data on the race, ethnicity and gender of program applicants and beneficiaries in accordance with section 562 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 and section 808(e)(6) of the Fair Housing Act.
42 U.S.C. 3535(d) and 11901
Nomenclature changes to part 761 appear at 64 FR 49917, Sept. 14, 1999.
This part 761 contains the regulatory requirements for the Assisted Housing Drug Elimination Program (AHDEP) and the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP). The purposes of these programs are to:
(a) Eliminate drug-related and violent crime and problems associated with it in and around the premises of Federally assisted low-income housing, and public and Indian housing developments;
(b) Encourage owners of Federally assisted low-income housing, public housing agencies and Indian housing authorities (collectively referred to as HAs), and resident management corporations to develop a plan that includes initiatives that can be sustained over a period of several years for addressing drug-related and violent crime and problems associated with it in and around the premises of housing proposed for funding under this part; and
(c) Make available Federal grants to help owners of Federally assisted low-income housing, HAs, and RMCs carry out their plans.
For the purposes of the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program, the elimination of drug-related and violent crime within public housing developments requires the active involvement and commitment of public housing residents and their organizations. To enhance the ability of PHAs to combat drug-related and violent crime within their developments, Resident Councils (RCs), Resident Management Corporations (RMCs), and Resident Organizations (ROs) will be permitted to undertake management functions specified in this part, notwithstanding the otherwise applicable requirements of part 964 of this title.
The definitions
(1) It must be representative of the residents it purports to represent;
(2) It may represent residents in more than one development or in all of the developments of a HA, but it must fairly represent residents from each development that it represents;
(3) It must adopt written procedures providing for the election of specific officers on a regular basis (but at least once every three years); and
(4) It must have a democratically elected governing board. The voting membership of the board must consist of residents of the development or developments that the resident organization or resident council represents.
(i) An applicant must submit a PHDEP plan that meets the requirements of § 761.21, as required by § 761.15(a)(5), each FFY year to receive that FFY's funding. An applicant that does not submit a PHDEP plan for a FFY as required will not receive that FFY's funding.
(ii) Ineligible activities, described at § 761.17(b), are not eligible for funding. Activities proposed for funding in an applicant's PHDEP plan that are determined to be ineligible will not be funded, and the applicant's funding for that FFY may be reduced accordingly.
(iii) In accordance with § 761.15(a)(6), an applicant that does not meet the performance requirements of § 761.23 will be subject to the sanctions listed in § 761.30(f)(2).
(iv) Both the amount of and continuing eligibility for funding is subject to the sanctions in § 761.30(f).
(v) Any amounts that become available because of adjustments to an applicant's funding will be distributed to every other applicant that qualifies for funding in accordance with paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.
(i) A PHA;
(ii) An RMC; and
(iii) A consortium of PHAs.
(i) The eligible applicant must be in the top 50% of the unit-weighted distribution of an index of a rolling average rate of violent crimes of the community, as computed for each Federal Fiscal Year (FFY). The crime rate used in this needs determination formula is the rate, from the most recent years feasible, of FBI violent crimes per 10,000 residents of the community (or communities). If this information is not available for a particular applicant's community, HUD will use the average of data from recipients of a comparable State and size category of PHA (less than 500 units, 500 to 1249 units, and more than 1250 units). If fewer than five PHAs have data for a given size category within a State, then the average of PHAs for a given size category within the census region will be used; or
(ii) The eligible applicant must have qualified for PHDEP funding, by receiving an application score of 70 or more points under any one of the PHDEP NOFAs for FFY 1996, FFY 1997 or FFY 1998, but not have received an award because of the unavailability of funds.
(ii) To receive PHDEP funding, a PHA that qualifies to receive PHDEP funding and is operating under an executed Moving To Work (MTW) agreement with HUD must submit a PHDEP plan that meets the requirements of § 761.21 with its required MTW plan for each Federal Fiscal Year for which it qualifies for funding.
(6) An otherwise qualified recipient PHA, RMC or consortium may not be funded if HUD determines, on a case-by-case basis, that it does not meet the performance requirements of § 761.23.
(B) The applicant, the provider (contractor) of the security personnel and, only if the local law enforcement agency is receiving any PHDEP funds from the applicant, the local law enforcement agency, are required, as a part of the security personnel contract, to enter into and execute a written agreement that describes the following:
(B) Additional HA police services to be funded under this program must be over and above those that the existing HA police, if any, provides, and the tribal, State or local government is contractually obligated to provide under its Cooperation Agreement with the applying HA (as required by the HA's Annual Contributions Contract). An applicant seeking funding for this activity must first establish a baseline by describing the current level of services provided by both the local law enforcement agency and the HA police, if any (in terms of the kinds of services provided, the number of officers and equipment and the actual percent of their time assigned to the developments proposed for funding), and then demonstrate that the funded activity will represent an increase over this baseline.
(C) If the local law enforcement agency is receiving any PHDEP funds from the applicant, the applicant and the local law enforcement agency are required to enter into and execute a written agreement that describes the following:
(i) Additional security and protective services to be funded must be over and above those that the tribal, State, or local government is contractually obligated to provide under its Cooperation Agreement with the applying HA (as required by the HA's Annual Contributions Contract). An application seeking funding for this activity must first establish a baseline by describing the current level of services (in terms of the kinds of services provided, the number of officers and equipment, and the actual percent of their time assigned to the developments proposed for funding) and then demonstrate that the funded activity will represent an increase over this baseline.
(ii) Communications and security equipment to improve the collection, analysis, and use of information about drug-related or violent criminal activities in a public housing community may be eligible items if used exclusively in connection with the establishment of a law enforcement substation on the funded premises or scattered site developments of the applicant. Funds for activities under this section may not be drawn until the grantee has
(i) An activity that is funded under any other HUD program shall not also be funded by this program.
(ii) Funding is not permitted for physical improvements that involve the demolition of any units in a development.
(iii) Funding is not permitted for any physical improvements that would result in the displacement of persons.
(iv) Funding is not permitted for the acquisition of real property.
(i) If one or more investigators are to be employed for a service that is also provided by a local law enforcement agency, the applicant must undertake and retain a cost analysis that demonstrates the employment of investigators is more cost efficient than obtaining the service from the local law enforcement agency.

(B) The types of activities that the investigators are expressly prohibited from undertaking.
(i) The provision of training, communications equipment, and other related equipment (including uniforms), for use by voluntary tenant patrols acting in cooperation with officials of local law enforcement agencies is permitted. Grantees are required to obtain liability insurance to protect themselves and the members of the voluntary tenant patrol against potential liability for the activities of the patrol. The cost of this insurance will be considered an eligible program expense.
(ii) The applicant, the members of the tenant patrol and, only if the local law enforcement agency is receiving any PHDEP funds from the applicant, the local law enforcement agency, are required, before putting the tenant patrol into effect, to enter into and execute a written agreement that describes the following:
(A) The nature of the activities to be performed by the tenant patrol, the patrol's scope of authority, and how the patrol will coordinate its activities with the local law enforcement agency;
(B) The types of activities that a tenant patrol is expressly prohibited from undertaking, to include but not limited to, the carrying or use of firearms or other weapons, nightsticks, clubs, handcuffs, or mace in the course of their duties under this program;
(C) The type of initial tenant patrol training and continuing training the members receive from the local law enforcement agency (training by the local law enforcement agency is required before putting the tenant patrol into effect).
(iii) Tenant patrol members must be advised that they may be subject to individual or collective liability for any actions undertaken outside the scope of their authority and that such acts are not covered under a HA's or RMC's liability insurance.
(iv) Grant funds may not be used for any type of financial compensation for voluntary tenant patrol participants. However, the use of program funds for a grant coordinator for volunteer tenant foot patrols is permitted.
(1) For activities not included under paragraph (a) of this section;
(2) For costs incurred before the effective date of the grant agreement;
(3) For the costs related to screening or evicting residents for drug-related crime. However, investigators funded under this program may participate in judicial and administrative proceedings;
(4) For previously funded activities determined by HUD on a case-by-case basis to be unworthy of continuation.
The applicant must provide the residents of developments proposed for funding under this part 761, as well as any RMCs, RCs, or ROs that represent those residents (including any HA-wide RMC, RC, or RO), if applicable, with a reasonable opportunity to comment on its application for funding under these programs. The applicant must give these comments careful consideration in developing its plan and application, as well as in the implementation of funded programs. Grantees must maintain copies of all written comments submitted for three years.

(iii) Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the current award for the grantee's or subgrantee's program;
(iv) Require that some or all of the grant amounts be remitted to HUD;
(v) Condition a future grant and elect not to provide future grant funds to the grantee until appropriate actions are taken to ensure compliance;
(vi) Withhold further awards for the program; or
(vii) Take other remedies that may be legally available.
Grantees are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of grant and subgrant supported activities. Grantees must monitor grant and subgrant supported activities to assure compliance with applicable Federal requirements and that performance goals are being achieved. Grantee monitoring must cover each program, function or activity of the grant.
(1) In accordance with 24 CFR 85.40(b)(1)(2) and 85.50(b), grantees are required to provide the local HUD Office or the local HUD Office of Native American Programs with a semi-annual performance report that evaluates the grantee's performance against its plan. These reports shall include (but are not limited to) the following in summary form:
(i) Any change or lack of change in crime statistics or other indicators drawn from the applicant's plan assessment and an explanation of any difference;
(ii) Successful completion of any of the strategy components identified in the applicant's plan;

(i) For purposes of the Assisted Housing Program, semi-annual financial status reports covering the first 180 days of funded activities must be submitted to the local HUD Office between 190 and 210 days after the date of the grant agreement. If the SF-269A is not received on or before the due date (210 days after the date of the grant agreement) by the local HUD Office, grant funds will not be advanced until the reports are received.
(ii) For purposes of the Public Housing Program, semi-annual financial status reports (for periods ending June 30 and December 31) must be submitted to the local HUD Office or the local Office of Indian Programs, as applicable, by July 30 and January 31 of each year. If the local HUD Office or the local HUD Office of Native American Programs, as applicable, does not receive the SF-269A on or before the due date, the grant funds will not be advanced until the reports are received.
(i) For purposes of the Assisted Housing Program, the grantee must remit such funds to HUD within 90 days after the termination of the grant agreement.
(ii) For purposes of the Public Housing Program, the local HUD Office or the local HUD Office of Native American Programs shall notify the grantee, in writing, of the requirement to remit such funds to HUD. The grantee shall remit such funds prior to or upon receipt of the notice.
In addition to the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements set forth in 24 CFR part 5, subpart A, use of grant funds requires compliance with the following Federal requirements:
(i) The grantee and its contractors and subcontractors must pay the following prevailing wage rates, and must comply with all related rules, regulations and requirements:
(A) For laborers and mechanics employed in the program, the wage rate determined by the Secretary of Labor pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a et seq.) to be prevailing in the locality with respect to such trades;
(B) For laborers and mechanics employed in carrying out nonroutine maintenance in the program, the HUD-determined prevailing wage rate. As used in paragraph (a) of this section, nonroutine maintenance means work items that ordinarily would be performed on a regular basis in the course of upkeep of a property, but have become substantial in scope because they have been put off, and that involve expenditures that would otherwise materially distort the level trend of maintenance expenses. Nonroutine maintenance may include replacement of equipment and materials rendered unsatisfactory because of normal wear and tear by items of substantially the same kind. Work that constitutes reconstruction, a substantial improvement in the quality or kind of original
(ii) The employment of laborers and mechanics is subject to the provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-333).
(2) The provisions of paragraph (a)(1) of this section shall not apply to labor contributed under the following circumstances:
(i) Upon the request of any resident management corporation, HUD may, subject to applicable collective bargaining agreements, permit residents (for purposes of the Public Housing Program, residents of a program managed by the resident management corporation) to volunteer a portion of their labor.
(ii) An individual may volunteer to perform services if:
(A) The individual does not receive compensation for the voluntary services, or is paid expenses, reasonable benefits, or a nominal fee for voluntary services; and
(B) Is not otherwise employed at any time in the work subject to paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) or (a)(1)(i)(B) of this section.
(1) The community in which the area is situated is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program in accordance with 44 CFR parts 59 through 79; or
(2) Less than a year has passed since FEMA notification to the community regarding such hazards; and
(3) Flood insurance on the structure is obtained in accordance with section 102(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 4001).
(1) Who is an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected or appointed official of the grantee, that receives assistance under the program and who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to assisted activities; or
(2) Who is in a position to participate in a decisionmaking process or gain inside information with regard to such activities.
42 U.S.C. 1439 and 3535(d).
This part describes the role and responsibility of HUD in allocation of budget authority (pursuant to section 213 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 1439)) for housing assistance under the United States Housing Act of 1937 (Section 8 and public housing) and under section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 (12 U.S.C. 1701s), and of budget authority for housing assistance under section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 1710q). This part does not apply to budget authority for the public housing operating fund or capital fund.
(2) In addition, for purposes of the program of Section 8 tenant-based assistance under part 982 of this title, the term PHA also includes any of the following:
(i) A consortia of housing agencies, each of which meets the qualifications in paragraph (1) of this definition, that HUD determines has the capacity and capability to efficiently administer the program (in which case, HUD may enter into a consolidated ACC with any legal entity authorized to act as the legal representative of the consortia members);
(ii) Any other public or private non-profit entity that was administering a Section 8 tenant-based assistance program pursuant to a contract with the contract administrator of such program (HUD or a PHA) in effect on October 21, 1998; or
(iii) For any area outside the jurisdiction of a PHA that is administering a tenant-based program, or where HUD determines that such PHA is not administering the program effectively, a
This subpart D establishes the procedures for allocating budget authority under section 213(d) of the Act for the programs identified in § 791.101. It describes the allocation of budget authority by the appropriate Assistant Secretary to the applicable Program Office Director in the HUD field office, and by the Program Office Director to allocation areas within their jurisdiction.
(a) Before budget authority is allocated, the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research shall determine the relative need for low-income housing assistance in each HUD field office jurisdiction. This determination shall be based upon data from the most recent, available decennial census and, where appropriate, upon more recent data from the Bureau of the Census or other Federal agencies, or from the American Housing Survey.
(b) Except for paragraph (c) of this section, the factors used to determine the relative need for assistance shall be based upon the following criteria:
(c) For the section 202 elderly program, the data used shall reflect relevant characteristics of the elderly population. The data shall use the criteria specified in paragraph (b)(1) and (6) of this section, as modified to apply specifically to the needs of the elderly population.
(d) Based on the criteria in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research shall establish housing needs factors for each county and independent city in the field office jurisdiction, and shall aggregate the factors for such jurisdiction. The field office total for each factor is then divided by the respective national total for that factor. The resulting housing needs ratios under paragraph (b) of this section are then weighted to provide housing needs percentages for each field office, using the following weights: population—20 percent; poverty—20 percent; housing overcrowding—10 percent; housing vacancies—10 percent; substandard housing—20 percent; other objectively measurable conditions—20 percent. For the section 202 elderly program, the two criteria described in paragraph (c) of this section are weighted equally.
(e) The Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research shall adjust the housing needs percentages derived in paragraph (d) of this section to reflect the relative cost of providing housing among the field office jurisdictions.
(a) The total budget authority available for any fiscal year shall be determined by adding any available unreserved budget authority from prior fiscal years to any newly appropriated budget authority for each housing program.
(b) Budget authority available for the fiscal year, except for that retained pursuant to § 791.407, shall be allocated to the field offices as follows:
(1) Budget authority shall be allocated as needed for uses that the Secretary determines are incapable of geographic allocation by formula, including—
(i) Amendments of existing contracts, renewal of assistance contracts, assistance to families that would otherwise lose assistance due to the decision of the project owner to prepay the project mortgage or not to renew the assistance contract, assistance to prevent displacement or to provide replacement housing in connection with the demolition or disposition of public housing, assistance in support of the property disposition and loan management functions of the Secretary;
(ii) Assistance which is—
(A) The subject of a line item identification in the HUD appropriations law, or in the table customarily included in the Conference Report on the appropriation for the Fiscal Year in which the funds are to be allocated;
(B) Reported in the Operating Plan submitted by HUD to the Committees on Appropriations; or
(C) Included in an authorization statute where the nature of the assistance, such as a prescribed set-aside, is, in the determination of the Secretary, incapable of geographic allocation by formula,
(iii) Assistance determined by the Secretary to be necessary in carrying out the following programs authorized by the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act: the Homeownership and Opportunity Through HOPE Act under title IV and HOPE for Elderly Independence under section 803.
(2) Budget authority remaining after carrying out allocation steps outlined in paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall be allocated in accordance with the housing needs percentages calculated under paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and (e) of § 791.402. HUD may allocate assistance under this paragraph in such a manner that each State shall receive not less than one-half of one percent of the amount of funds available for each program referred to in § 791.101(a) in each fiscal year. If the budget authority for a particular program is insufficient to fund feasible projects, or to promote meaningful competition, at the field office level, budget authority may be allocated among the ten geographic areas of the country. The funds so allocated will be assigned by Headquarters to the field office(s) with the highest ranked applications within the ten geographic areas.
(c) At least annually HUD will publish a notice in the
(1) Each allocation shall be to the smallest practicable area, but of sufficient size so that at least three eligible entities are viable competitors for funds in the allocation area, and so that all applicable statutory requirements can be met. (It is expected that in many instances individual MSAs will be established as metropolitan allocation areas.) For the section 202 program for the elderly, the allocation area must include sufficient units to promote a meaningful competition among disparate types of providers of such housing (e.g., local as well as national sponsors, minority as well as non-minority sponsors). The preceding
(2) Each allocation area shall also be of sufficient size, in terms of population and housing need, that the amount of budget authority being allocated to the area will support at least one feasible program or project.
(3) In establishing allocation areas, counties and independent cities within MSAs should not be combined with counties that are not in MSAs.
(a) The field office shall make every reasonable effort to use the budget authority made available for each allocation area within such area. If the Program Office Director determines that not all of the budget authority allocated for a particular allocation area is likely to be used during the fiscal year, the remaining authority may be allocated to other allocation areas where it is likely to be used during that fiscal year.
(b) If the Assistant Secretary determines that not all of the budget authority allocated to a field office is likely to be used during the fiscal year, the remaining authority may be reallocated to another field office where it is likely to be used during that fiscal year.
(c) Any reallocations of budget authority among allocation areas or field offices shall be consistent with the assignment of budget authority for the specific program type and established set-asides.
(d) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section, budget authority shall not be reallocated for use in another State unless the Program Office Director or the Assistant Secretary has determined that other allocation areas within the same State cannot use the available authority during the fiscal year.
(a) All budget authority allocated pursuant to § 791.403(b)(2) shall be reserved and obligated pursuant to a competition. Any such competition shall be conducted pursuant to specific criteria for the selection of recipients of assistance. These criteria shall be contained in a regulation promulgated after notice and public comment or, to the extent authorized by law, a notice published in the
(b) This section shall not apply to assistance referred to in §§ 791.403(b)(1) and 791.407.
(a) A portion of the budget authority available for the housing programs listed in § 791.101(a), not to exceed an amount equal to five percent of the total amount of budget authority available for the fiscal year for programs under the United States Housing Act of 1937 listed in § 791.101(a), may be retained by the Assistant Secretary for subsequent allocation to specific areas and communities, and may only be used for:
(1) Unforeseen housing needs resulting from natural and other disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, high water, wind driven water, tidal waves, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides,
(2) Housing needs resulting from emergencies, as certified by the Secretary, other than disasters described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. Emergency housing needs that can be certified are only those that result from unpredictable and sudden circumstances causing housing deprivation (such as physical displacement, loss of Federal rental assistance, or substandard housing conditions) or causing an unforeseen and significant increase in low-income housing demand in a housing market (such as influx of refugees or plant closings);
(3) Housing needs resulting from the settlement of litigation; and
(4) Housing in support of desegregation efforts.
(b) Applications for funds retained under paragraph (a) of this section shall be made to the field office, which will make recommendations to Headquarters for approval or rejection of the application. Applications generally will be considered for funding on a first-come, first-served basis. Specific instructions governing access to the Headquarters Reserve shall be published by notice in the
(c) Any amounts retained in any fiscal year under paragraph (a) of this section that are not reserved by the end of such fiscal year shall remain available for the following fiscal year in the program under § 791.101(a) from which the amount was retained. Such amounts shall be allocated pursuant to § 791.403(b)(2).
42 U.S.C. 1437f note and 3535(d).
Nomenclature changes to part 792 appear at 64 FR 26640, May 14, 1999.
The purpose of this part is to encourage public housing agencies (PHAs) to investigate and pursue instances of tenant and owner fraud and abuse in the operation of the Section 8 housing assistance payments programs.
(a) This part applies to a PHA acting as a contract administrator under an annual contributions contract with HUD in any section 8 housing assistance payments program. To be eligible to retain section 8 tenant or owner fraud recoveries, the PHA must be the principal party initiating or sustaining an action to recover amounts from families.
(b) This part applies only to those instances when a tenant or owner committed fraud, and the fraud recoveries are obtained through litigation brought by the PHA (including settlement of the lawsuit), a court-ordered restitution pursuant to a criminal proceeding, or an administrative repayment agreement with the family or owner as a result of a PHA administrative grievance procedure pursuant to, or incorporating the requirements of, § 982.555 of this title. This part does not apply to cases of owner fraud in PHA-owned or controlled units, or where incorrect payments were made or benefits received because of calculation errors instead of willful fraudulent activities.
(c) This part applies to all tenant and owner fraud recoveries resulting from litigation brought by the PHA (including settlement of the lawsuit), or a court-ordered restitution pursuant to a
(1) That constitutes false statement, omission, or concealment of a substantive fact, made with intent to deceive or mislead; and
(2) That results in payment of section 8 program funds in violation of section 8 program requirements.
The terms
(1) Recertifying tenants who fraudulently obtained section 8 rental assistance;
(2) Recomputing the correct amounts owed by tenants; and
(3) Taking needed actions to recoup the excess benefits received, such as initiating litigation.
Costs incurred to detect potential excessive benefits in the routine day-to-day operations of the program are excluded in determining the principal party in initiating or sustaining an action to recover. For example, the cost of income verification during an annual recertification would not be counted in determining the principal party in initiating or sustaining an action to recover.
The PHA must obtain HUD approval before initiating litigation in which the PHA is requesting HUD assistance or participation.
(a) Where the PHA is the principal party initiating or sustaining an action to recover amounts from tenants that are due as a result of fraud and abuse, the PHA may retain, the greater of:
(1) Fifty percent of the amount it actually collects from a judgment, litigation (including settlement of lawsuit) or an administrative repayment agreement pursuant to, or incorporating the requirements of, § 982.555 of this title; or
(2) Reasonable and necessary costs that the PHA incurs related to the collection from a judgment, litigation (including settlement of lawsuit) or an administrative repayment agreement pursuant to, or incorporating the requirements of, § 982.555 of this title. Reasonable and necessary costs include the costs of the investigation, legal fees and collection agency fees.
(b) If HUD incurs costs on behalf of the PHA in obtaining the judgment, these costs must be deducted from the amount to be retained by the PHA.
(a) The PHA may only use the amount of the recovery it is authorized to retain in support of the section 8 program in which the fraud occurred.
(b) The remaining balance of the recovery proceeds (i.e., the portion of recovery the PHA is not authorized to retain) must be applied as directed by HUD.
To permit HUD to audit amounts retained under this part, an PHA must maintain all records required by HUD, including:
(a) Amounts recovered on any judgment or repayment agreement;
(b) The nature of the judgment or repayment agreement; and
(c) The amount of the legal fees and expenses incurred in obtaining the judgment or repayment agreement and recovery.

Invitation for caribouPosted By Joe Scott On Wednesday, 3 July 2013
A message from Joe Scott and John Bergenske
Welcome to the new mountain caribou/inland rainforest blog. If you're reading this you're one of the first. Pretty exciting eh?
Why a mountain caribou/inland rainforest blog? Well, because mountain caribou are still cool. And they are still in danger of extinction. Where caribou live, the Inland Temperate Rainforest of the Columbia Mountains is the only one on earth and it's cool and endangered too! Not a big surprise.

Hi Moth,
I, like you, was eventually brought to Buddhism as a result of realizations experienced during the consumption of entheogens (like mushrooms, LSD, Mescaline).
While many who have not had these experiences believe they can be delusional, *it is quite the contrary*, it can really brings you down to reality in a really hard way. It makes you really realize how much of a delusion we can live in, which are created by mental views/disposition.
It is a funny thing however. I cannot say, it does this or that, since it really depends on the individual who takes it. The effects are really not that straightforward and very complex. Again, the effect depends on the individuals disposition, and I think those prone can have a 'misleading' or 'delusional' experience. However, part of the effect can possibly include seeing things on a level more real than the common state.
I notice, however, that in my later experiences years ago, there was less effect, maybe due to realizations becoming part of my experience.
I often wonder whether I would be the same person (or have the same sort of understanding/disposition) without having had those experiences, and whether I am really better off.
One thing certain, is that I sought the same understanding (wisdom, truth, or whatever you want to call it) before I ever had these experiences, and observe that I was seeking these answers from the start.
I think much of this sort of understanding/views and practice (of Buddhism) stems from the ancient Indus Valley civilizations where you can find the oldest reliefs of people in yogic meditation poses, and where also, the 'Swastika', the symbol associated with Buddhism and Jainism originated. I speculate, that from this culture also came the Vedas. Some researchers believe very strongly, that this culture was involved in regularly consuming a drink called 'Soma' which consisted, partly, of the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. Whatever the concoction was, it was regularly partaken of during their 'ceremonies', and was a religious sacrament (just as Peyote is for the Indians of the Americas, Marijuana is for the Saddhus (hindu ascetics) and as mushrooms, ayahuasca, and various other forms of entheogens are for many shamanic cultures around the world.) So without any question: Gotama the Buddha grew up in this culture and learned the Vedas. I think it is not a 'far cry' to imagine that the Buddha may have also partaken in these rituals, or have been introduced to entheogens.
During my tour of India of the sacred Buddhist sites, I visited some of the museums that were adjacent to it. In them are contained some of the oldest Buddhist statues. I was astounded to see that in many of the statues, the Buddha was standing under what appeared to be a giant mushroom. Not one, but several statues. I examined the shape - it was clearly a mushroom. I think the common understanding is that it is an umbrella to protect him from the sun.
In regards to your question. I think your heart will tell you what is right and what is wrong. If things are done with bad intentions, they can have ill results. As the Buddha has said himself: how do you determine whether a certain occupation/practice is good or bad? If it leads to unskillful qualities it is bad. If it leads to skillful qualities it is good.

Saving money to help folks live better is the heart and soul of the Walmart brand. And this holiday is no different as Walmart finds even more ways to spread joy this Christmas, starting with a song.
If you want to save money on car insurance, you switch to GEICO. It's what you do.
This new campaign explores other "it's what you do's" from popular culture in true GEICO fashion. Like say, if you're in a horror movie, you make poor decisions. It's what you do.
To prove the toughness of BFGoodrich's new All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, we dropped a set from a plane. The tires not only endured, they made an awesome video.
For the past 80 years, there's one brand that has stayed true to its character. One brand that is considered the original. One brand that has earned the right to be called "the." That brand is Stoli. It's not just "a" vodka...it's THE Vodka. The original, the archetype, the one. And because THE Vodka speaks for itself, we'll stop and let the work do the rest.
Former pro NFL player Ickey Woods will celebrate almost anything, cold cuts included. And now with ickeyfy.com, you can, too. Because nothing says "good luck on that thing you did" like sending a shuffling Ickey to a friend.
For years, Benjamin Moore has been painting The Monster green. And with the new Fenway Collection, you can too. Yea, that includes fire hydrants, satellite dishes, garage doors and swing sets.
And for every gallon sold, Benjamin Moore will help renovate youth league ballparks in the Boston area—bringing the spirit of Fenway to where it matters most.
Meet the Hopsons. A mini mockumentary about a fictitious family who live in a two–story bouncy house. Why, you ask? To bring color to their vinyl-clad neighborhood. Unfortunately, only later do they discover that it's possible to refresh the look of their home with Benjamin Moore's New Regal Select REVIVE.
We wanted to show how Benjamin Moore ARBORCOAT® makes old wood young again. And what better way to do so than to make a yo-yo out of old reclaimed deck wood?
Introducing the world's largest wooden yo-yo. We even made a site about it: largestwoodenyoyo.com.
Ever wonder where OREO Mini comes from? "Mel's Mini Mini Mart" tells the charming story, reminding viewers not to overlook things just because they're small. Chromeo reiterates this idea in "How Big You Wonder," putting their signature spin on the Wonderfilled song and inspiring anyone who has ever felt small to dream big.
Because after all, it's not how big you are, it's how big you wonder.
With the 2014 Emmy nominations around the corner, we partnered with AMC to promote the stars of Mad Men. And what better way than to have the stars "sell" themselves? From a hair color bath to precious metals, heels and executive pomade, the sixties-style ads featured the stars promoting fictitious products, while subtly making a case for the nomination of the individual stars.
It's a vintage campaign that would make the show's agency, Sterling Cooper and Partners, proud. We think so at least.
Put Jimmy Kimmel and Penélope Cruz in a room together and it is sure to be entertaining (or at least easy on the eyes). Add a Nespresso VertuoLine machine, and who knows what will happen. Like maybe the whole crew will take a coffee break. And maybe Jimmy will join them. And maybe, just maybe, Jimmy will hand the show over to Guillermo. Maybe. You may just have to watch to find out.
An interactive mural, powered by kindness.
In 2013, local Richmond artist, Patience Salgado, wanted to create a wall made of kindness. It started with simple human stories and a mural painted on a 110-ft wall of an old bus depot by Hamilton Glass. Then, in true techy spirit, a few guys from our Martin Lab installed 1,000 LED lights, programming them to light up one-by-one in real time as people around the world submitted acts of kindness to the mural's website. To add an element of interactivity, the team also wired the mural with conductive paint, allowing visitors to change the configuration of the lights by simply touching the wall.
It's part art, part technology and full-on kindness.
He's still not good at motivating others, but he could be good at writing books on crafting.
Gunshots, explosions, shackling the kids in the street and sending an innocent woman to prison for being a witch. It was the perfect vacation.
Guess you had to be there.
Directed, produced and edited in-house, the music video for J. Roddy Walston and The Business' song "Same Days" explores the weirdness of seemingly monotonous human experiences. Yes, we also stood in that frozen lake for two hours and, in the spirit of honesty, one boat was harmed in this process.
On Monday April 7, Mike Hughes was inducted into the AAF's Advertising Hall of Fame, joining the ranks of a few hundred men and women who have made significant contributions to both advertising and society as a whole. And while we wish he could have been there, we hope this video does him justice.
Chips Ahoy! has never been like every other chocolate chip cookie. They have always had a certain attitude, a disregard for what you're supposed to do. Call it moxie, gumption or cojones, It Take Ahoy! to take two free samples, to enter through the exit and to nudge the institution, one chip at a time.
We believe there are colors attached to the most meaningful moments of our lives. With Benjamin Moore, that story is told like no other: with gorgeous detail, surprising depth and unique nuance. The Shades of Life campaign utilizes paint colors and the unique Benjamin Moore paint names to tell a story, showing there truly is a color For Everything that Matters.
This is the story of a piece of crap, And a girl named Susana, Who saw way beyond that.
The video is animated, completely from sand, by Cesar Diaz Melendez's very own hand(s).
So sit on back, yea we're talking to you, and check out EARTH's latest video that shows what doo-doo can do.
This is the season when we like to do it up. And no Christmas is complete without a tree, icicle lights and, of course, cookie balls. Just don't forget to leave a few for Santa Clause.
'Cause everyone knows old Kris Kringle loves himself some cookie balls.

Okay, keyboard people, this section is for you. You should know that with the ribbon design, there are a few updates to keyboard shortcuts.
First off, don't worry: Shortcuts that start with the CTRL key — for example, CTRL+C for copy, or CTRL+ALT+1 for Heading 1 — remain the same as in previous versions of Word.
But the ribbon design comes with new shortcuts. Why? Because this change brings two big advantages over previous versions:
The new shortcuts also have a new name: KeyTips. Press ALT to make the KeyTips appear for all ribbon tabs and Quick Access Toolbar commands.
Then you can press the KeyTip for the tab you want to display; for example, press H for the Home tab, as shown here. This makes all the KeyTips for that tab's commands appear. Then you can press the KeyTip for the command you want.
You get to Backstage view roughly the same way you used to open the File menu: For example, ALT+F opens the menu; ALT+F+A opens Save As; and ALT+F+P opens Print.
You can still use the ALT+ shortcuts that access menus and commands in previous versions of Word, but because the earlier menus are not available, you'll have no screen reminders of what letters to press, so you need to know the full shortcut to use them.
