The Centre for Tax System Integrity (CTSI) ran from 1999 to 2005. The partnership of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and the Australian National University (ANU) produced ground-breaking research on how voluntary taxpaying cultures can be maintained and why cooperation and contestation occur within the tax system. The work of the Centre located tax systems and their administration within the context of democratic governance where the fair and reasonable treatment of citizens is understood to be a basic entitlement.

Australians have a strong commitment to the principles of taxation. An overwhelming majority believe it is their responsibility to pay tax and that tax enables the government to do worthwhile things that make life better for everyone.
Australians, however, question the reasonableness and fairness of the system. They see some people as having more opportunity and a greater willingness to get out of paying tax than others, and while Australians readily admit that this is wrong, they seem to think that a lot of people are getting away with it.
The Centre received the greater part of its funding from the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian National University.
The work of the Centre was much broader than taxation, however, addressing the degree to which our systems of governance deliver justice and ensure that the democracy remains socially inclusive of its citizens. We therefore are indebted to a variety of agencies through whom we raised additional funds to pursue our broader research agenda.

"A night away"
As this hotel is only a few years old, i expect it to still look like it. Not disappointed. Room was clean and well appointed. Nice touch with the dishes and glassware. I did not expect that in a room without cooking facilities. Overall a nice place. I would return.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"was somewhat disappointed"
We had to stay in the overflow building, which wasn't soundproof whatsoever, and the hallways reeked of smoke. It would have been nice to know that we were not in the main building, therefore our expectation of using the rec facilities would have been different. Otherwise the hotel staff were friendly and the room was nice and clean, and was surprisingly […] fresh smelling despite the smoky hallway. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

First night we were placed on the 3rd floor which I assume to be and ex-smoking floor! Room stunk of cigarette smoke and frebreeze! Rugs were stained and filthy in hall and room rug was sticky! Next day asked to be moved to a never been smoked in room and was moved to 4th floor which was clean fresh and bright and was on airport side not street side.

My first stay at the hotel was better than the second. I enjoyed both rooms being in the west wings of the 3rd and 2nd floors.

"OK Hotel - Not Spectacular but it's OK"
A fairly average hotel: clean, fairly quiet, would work for most business people. Nice shower with curved shower rod. Not a lot of restaurant choices within walking distance. Never been a big fan of hotel restaurants and bars in general - average food and average service at normally above-average pricing. Prefer quality food and great restaurants but […] you will need a car from this location. For morning coffee though, there is a Starbucks a few blocks away. Room Service trays littered the hallways when we returned from supper at near 8 pm. I guess it's the responsibility of morning housekeeping to clean up. Coffee creamers in our fridge would be a nice touch instead of powdered creamers. Would have raised the rating with little niceties like this. One issue though: 11 am check-out is out of step with most business hotels' noon check-out. I regularly use hotel room as an office while on the road. Noon checkout means great half-day workday. We arranged a noon check-out at check-in. 11:25 am next morning, we were phoned by front desk asking if we were checking out. Seems no one at desk made a note of our late check-out. In essence, they made their internal error our problem. Guests attending morning meetings must check-out before they attend their meetings. Noon check-out would be more convenient for guests who could check out on lunch break. Hotel lacks any real personality though. As titled, it's an OK hotel - not spectacular and not one you would rave to your friends that they must visit. But a good performer that could do much better if they would think from the guest's perspective instead of how early they can start housekeeping services. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"2 Nights"
Spent 2 nights in the Chateau Nova and all in all, it was a good experience. Reasonable rates. The room was clean and well maintained, the beds were comfortable, the breakfast each morning in the restaurant was fine (2 eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 2 pieces of toast and hash browns - $7.00 as of July 6, 2011). Couple of issues - stains in the rugs in the […] hallways and construction in the main entrance - Would definately stay there again if the opportunity arose. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

Updated: 3:39 p.m. Friday, May 11, 2012 | Posted: 3:38 p.m. Friday, May 11, 2012
By DeAnn Owens
Contributing Writer
Getting dirty is a childhood right of passage. There's sand from summer days and sandboxes, mud from spring puddles, slush from winter snow and stained hands from school-day markers, crayons and paint.
Usually the dirt kids carry in on their hands or clothes and shoes is unwanted. But when the dirt is from a garden, it is an amazing lesson of what can be created when hands get a little dirty.
We asked some gardening pros throughout the region to share with us ideas on how to cultivate a love for gardening at a young age. Here are their ideas:
1. Seek their ideas
"I always tell customers looking to get their kids interested in gardening to lead by example. Have them help when you are planning your gardens. Whether it is vegetables, annuals, trees, shrubs or perennials, having the kids be part of the decision is a great way for them to get involved in the garden," said Patrick Flanagan, landscape manager and designer at Knollwood Garden and Landscaping Center in Beavercreek.
2. Teach them about nature
Showing them where it all begins will appeal to kids' curious minds.
"Kids are sponges. They soak up everything around them. They want to learn, so let them. Show them an acorn and then show them a large oak tree, show them a flower seed and then show them the beautiful flower that seed produces," said Jeff Dorton, landscape designer and salesman at Berns Garden Center and Landscaping in Middletown and Beavercreek. "They will want you to 'prove it,' and there is your chance to get them started. Use their senses to get them interested: the sight of a beautiful rose, the smell of a fragrant viburnum, the fuzzy soft leaf of Lamb's Ear."
3. Let them watch seeds grow
Jaynellen Dobberstein, second-grade teacher at Parkwood Elementary in Beavercreek, and former adviser of the Nature Nuts Club at the school, said kids love to plant seeds and watch them grow.
"Starting seeds indoors and then transplanting helps kids have a more intimate connection with their plants," Dobberstein said.
4. Plant a garden they can taste
Starting a garden where kids can eat the fruits or vegetables of their labor will spark their interest and appetite.
"I think vegetable gardening is probably the best way to get kids interested in gardening," said John Anderson, president of Andy's Garden, with locations in Piqua and Troy. "They are easy to start, and they can taste the results. If started from seeds, it also gives them a chance to see the growing process from start to finish.
5. Attract butterflies, hummingbirds
"Another way to interest them is to start a butterfly or hummingbird garden. There are lots of plants that will attract either, and both are pretty neat. With butterflies they can see everything from the adults that fly to the cocoon and larvae stages if the garden is done right," Anderson said.
6. Make it fun, not a chore
Gardening is work, but turning it into a chore will make kids lose heart.
"Don't make your kids do all the weeding. That's not the fun part. They need to be involved in everything from selecting the seed or plants to preparing the soil to planting to weeding and fertilizing. You need to be involved in all aspects, also. Don't make it sound or feel like work," said Kathy Matousch, manager at Siebenthaler's in Centerville.
Starting slow is the way to go, especially if you want your kids to grow as gardeners.
7. Celebrate the end result
And at the end of the season, include them in celebrating the results of their hard work.
"Harvest time is what it's all about; involve them in picking, cleaning, preserving and meal preparation using your fresh veggies. Let them host a Fresh Veggie Party for their friends," Matousch said.
What to plant
Choosing what to plant can depend on skill level or personal preference.
"Easy-to-grow seeds would be bean seed, lettuce, carrots and tomatoes," said John Burkhart, owner of Burkharts Nursery and Landscaping in Miamisburg.
Dobberstein suggests pumpkin, lima bean, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and flowers like marigolds, daisies, pansies and crocus.
Ideas for nonplanting garden projects
Inspiring kids to garden does not have to be just about plants. There are plenty of crafts or projects that can complement gardening.
Kids can even build a home for whimsical creatures.
"Fairy gardens and evergreen miniature gardens are still very popular. The miniature evergreen garden is somewhat new, and it is a unique take on container gardening. This type of gardening, as with the fairy garden, will make kids think of how best to plan their gardens. Since both gardens are on smaller scales, they are very easy to maintain and fun for the kids to be creative with," Flanagan said.
Matousch suggests creating a "Bean Teepee." "Take six to eight stakes and put them in the soil in a circle any width you want. Tie together at the top. Plant Pole Beans around the base of the poles. Water, care for and watch them grow. They get thick enough to crate a 'tent' after some time," Matousch said. "The same can be done with Morning Glories for a cute 'fairy house' for little kids."
In a garden, the sky is literally the limit for decorations.
"Water features such as small or self-contained pools or fountains are easy to install and operate," Anderson said.
"One of the newest projects is vertical gardening. These are plantings that you actually can hang on a wall. You can build a simple frame or purchase one that is already assembled. Easy to plant and easy to maintain, the vertical garden is an innovative way for kids to see gardening in a totally different way, adults as well," Flanagan said.
The options for getting kids interested in gardening are varied and abundant, and when it comes to gardening and kids, a little dirt doesn't hurt.

Encrypting files and drives
Lock and Key
The security of personal data is a major topic in the Linux world. zuluCrypt gives users a tool for uncomplicated encryption of any data.
External data media are very popular. They allow you to back up large amounts of data quickly and easily, without spending a fortune on backup media. But, transportable hard disks or USB sticks can be easily lost or stolen because of their compact size and light weight. Therefore, you should never store your personal data on mass storage without protecting it with powerful encryption. With dm_crypt/cryptsetup and the zuluCrypt graphical interface, you can achieve this on Linux in next to no time.
Under the free operating system, the standard method of data encryption is a combination of the dm_crypt kernel module and the cryptsetup command-line tool. You can use these to encrypt entire partitions and device files. The Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) extension contained in cryptsetup since version 1.0.5 also unifies the file format and allows the use of multiple keys. LUKS expands the encrypted data, adding a 592-byte header that stores the metadata and up to eight keys [1].
Almost all distributions have had cryptsetup in their repositories for some time now, so it can easily be set up using the respective package manager. In contrast, zuluCrypt usually requires a manual install because so far only a few distributions include it in their software collections. Only Arch Linux and PCLinuxOS provide packages for zuluCrypt; Mageia can use the packages from PCLinuxOS.

A tree of solace for cancer patients
By Reema Narendran | ENS - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 18th January 2013 11:55 AM
Last Updated: 18th January 2013 11:55 AM
Paradise tree, a native of South and Central America and now grown widely in Karnataka, is fast becoming a tree of solace for many cancer patients in the state. The decoction of leaves is being used as a complement to chemotherapy, with patients vouching that it drastically improves the quality of life and even cure the cancer.
The leaves are sourced from Bangalore, where two retired agricultural scientists, Syamasundar Joshi and Shantha Joshi, are engaged in popularising this tree and the decoction. They do it without taking any money, charging patients only labour cost.
"We just want people to grow this tree. It is like taking health insurance,'' said 73-year-old Syamsundar Joshi. The scientist duo said that the tree was originally brought to India to tide over the edible oil crisis. They noticed the plant was anti-bacterial, anti-tumorous and was good for gynaecological problems.
It was effective for cancer patients and the scientist couple found that the decoction could also bring down side effects of chemotherapy, minimise appetite loss and ensure fast recovery.
Shyla Ramdas of Vazhuthacaud here, who had heard about this decoction, was at first hesitant to give it to her husband, a stage-four cancer patient, who had malignancy in and around his intestine.
"The doctors were not very hopeful about his case and he kept on losing weight. But once he started taking this decoction, he was much healthier, driving the car and generally managing on his own. He even gained back the weight he had lost,'' said Shyla.
Scientifically, validations are yet to come but isolated studies have shown that several compounds such as the quassinoids in Simarouba has anti-tumour and anti-leukemic (against blood cancer) action. Glaucarubinone, one such compound, has been found to have activity against drug-resistant mammary tumours in mice and anti-leukemic activity, again in mice. It has also been found to improve mitochondrial metabolism and extend lifespan in the nematode, Caenohabditis elegans.
Most patients that 'Express' talked to were willing to let chemotherapy or surgery take credit for their recovery, but in their hearts, believed that it was the Simarouba leaves that made them better. Simarouba glauca is the scientific name of the tree, the local one being 'Lakshmitaru.' The leaves are considered to be very effective in curing cancer of first and second stages, whereas in later stages, improvement in quality of life is what is expected. But for Lakshmidevi Pillai of Thrissur, who was suffering with an ovarian cancer that had spread to kidney and intestine, these leaves seemed to have worked.
''I had to undergo several rounds of chemotherapy and surgery, but on my last check-up date on October 28, they said everything was fine with me. I continue to drink the decoction,'' said Shyla, who got her treatment in Gujarat, where her husband worked. Many of the patients, like Pearly Karun of Vazhuthacaud, came to know of these leaves from friends or relatives.
Pearly, whose malignancy had spread from the uterus to the lung, still had a 0.4 cm big tumour even after her chemotherapy.
"I used to feel drained but after starting on this decoction, my fatigue just disappeared. My stamina increased and I have become at least ten times more active now. I am sure that whatever is left of my tumour, will go away," Pearly sounds confident.

Federal prosecutors and securities regulators are taking a deeper look into how executives use prearranged trading plans to buy and sell shares of their company stock.
Federal prosecutors and securities regulators are taking a deeper look into how executives use prearranged trading plans to buy and sell shares of their company stock. Colin Barr reports on Markets Hub. Photo: Getty Images.
The Manhattan U.S. attorney's office has launched a broad criminal investigation into whether seven corporate executives cited in a recent Wall Street Journal article traded improperly in shares of their own company's stock, according to a person familiar with the matter. These executives lead companies in industries ranging from retailing to energy to data processing.
Earlier: Executives' Good Luck in Trading Own Stock
- A WSJ examination of executives who traded their own company's stock just before they made news found that far more recorded gains than saw the stock move against them.
Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission is examining trading by VeriFone Systems Inc. PAY -1.38% VeriFone Systems Inc. U.S.: NYSE $24.32 -0.34 -1.38% Dec. 12, 2013 4:04 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1.22M AFTER HOURS $24.32 0.00 0.00% Dec. 12, 2013 5:08 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 45,241 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap $2.69 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $352,901 More quote details and news » Chief Executive Officer Douglas Bergeron, according to a person familiar with that probe. VeriFone said Mr. Bergeron, one of those cited in the Journal article, did nothing wrong.
The probes illustrate that authorities have opened a new front in a three-year push to attack possible improper trading on Wall Street and in corporate America.
Until now, prosecutors and regulators were focused mainly on ferreting out traditional insider trading in the financial world, involving outside investors in companies. Some 70 convictions and guilty pleas from traders and others have resulted from such efforts.
A criminal probe of Big Lots CEO Steven Fishman points to problems with the Securities and Exchange Commission's disclosure rules for automatic trading "10b5-1" programs for company executives, says Jonathan Moreland, director of research at Insiderinsights.com. Photo: AP.
Now, authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are turning more attention to trading by corporate executives in their own company's shares. The probe follows the Nov. 28 Journal article, which focused on highly beneficial sales by executives that occurred before bad news about their companies hit, sparing them declines in the value of their holdings.
Besides Mr. Bergeron, the Journal reported last week federal prosecutors and the SEC were examining trading of another executive cited in the article, Big Lots Inc. BIG -0.03% Big Lots Inc. U.S.: NYSE $31.02 -0.01 -0.03% Dec. 12, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1.15M AFTER HOURS $31.02 0.00 0.00% Dec. 12, 2013 5:39 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 23,710 P/E Ratio 11.04 Market Cap $1.81 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $145,918 12/06/13 Stocks to Watch: Sears, Big Lo... 12/06/13 What WSJ Canada is Reading Fri... 12/05/13 Big Lots to Quit Canada, Darke... More quote details and news » CEO Steven Fishman. The company said his trades were "properly made" at a time when allowed.
Unlike many of those the federal authorities now are looking at, Mr. Fishman didn't make his sale using a prearranged corporate-executive trading plan. The plans, known as "10b5-1" plans, permit executives to trade their own company's stock despite possessing important, nonpublic information, by scheduling their trades in advance at particular times or prices.
Dark Markets
A series investigating a new age of murkiness in the financial markets and the challenges that creates for investors. Previously:
Timing Is Everything
Corporate executives can buy and sell their own company's stock but never based on nonpublic information. To avoid that issue, some set up prearranged '10b5-1' trading plans. Wall Street Journal research shows a number of executives, including some with 10b5-1 plans, have made highly beneficial trades shortly before their companies made market-moving news:
Having used such a plan can be a strong defense against any suspicion that the trading was improper. But it isn't a complete defense: Executives are vulnerable if they set up a plan at a time when they are in possession of inside information. Executives don't have to disclose the plans or their provisions, and they can change or discontinue them, also without disclosure.
The Manhattan U.S. attorney's office is investigating the circumstances surrounding seven trades cited by the Journal, according to the person familiar with the criminal probe, most made under trading plans. They include:
• May 2012 trades by Body Central BODY -3.67% Body Central Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq $3.41 -0.13 -3.67% Dec. 12, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 326,536 AFTER HOURS $3.41 0.00 0.00% Dec. 12, 2013 5:03 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 1,548 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap $58.88 Million Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $90,282.9 More quote details and news » founder Jerrold Rosenbaum and chief merchandising officer Beth Angelo, his daughter, before the retailer cut its earnings estimate, sending the shares down 48.5% the next day. A Body Central spokeswoman declined to comment on the investigation but previously said both executives' trades were made under a 10b5-1 plan and that Ms. Angelo, who set up a plan for her father in March 2012, wasn't aware of the trend that led to the stock drop.
• November 2008 trades by Ronald Delnevo, former managing director of U.K. operations for Cardtronics Inc., CATM +0.22% Cardtronics Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $41.73 +0.09 +0.22% Dec. 12, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 264,922 AFTER HOURS $41.73 0.00 0.00% Dec. 12, 2013 4:58 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 4,484 P/E Ratio 68.41 Market Cap $1.87 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $1,125,540 More quote details and news » before lower earnings that hammered the stock. A company spokesman declined to comment on the investigation but previously said Mr. Delnevo's sales were part of a 10b5-1 plan he amended two months before selling, which is permissible under the company's policies.
• July 2007 trades by Raymond Zinn, CEO of semiconductor maker Micrel Inc., MCRL +0.64% Micrel Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $9.48 +0.06 +0.64% Dec. 12, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 305,405 AFTER HOURS $9.48 0.00 0.00% Dec. 12, 2013 4:58 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 14,922 P/E Ratio 51.38 Market Cap $537.17 Million Dividend Yield 2.11% Rev. per Employee $300,763 More quote details and news » before lower-than-expected earnings, which sent the stock down 22%.

U.S.: NYSE $140.64 +1.12 +0.80% Dec. 12, 2013 4:05 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1.33M AFTER HOURS $141.60 +0.96 +0.68% Dec. 12, 2013 4:44 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 10,992 P/E Ratio 31.25 Market Cap $10.13 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $273,319 More quote details and news » just days after he set up a 10b5-1 trading plan and also days before lower-than-expected earnings sent the stock down 5.4%. Mohawk didn't return calls or emails about either the probe or the trades.
• July 2011 trades by Cobalt International Energy CIE +1.38% Cobalt International Energy Inc. U.S.: NYSE $16.21 +0.22 +1.38% Dec. 12, 2013 4:01 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4.52M AFTER HOURS $16.21 0.00 0.00% Dec. 12, 2013 6:07 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 76,207 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap $6.58 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » co-founder Samuel Gillespie during the two weeks before the oil company said it had abandoned an exploratory well. The stock slumped 39% after nine trading days.
A Cobalt spokeswoman didn't return calls about the investigation but earlier said the sales were in accordance with a 10b5-1 plan amended before the sales. She said the change was "in complete compliance with our procedures and had at least a minimum of 30 days before trades occurred." She said the well issue wasn't encountered until Mr. Gillespie had already begun to sell shares.
In the Big Lots matter, the U.S. attorney's office and the SEC are examining the March 2012 trading of Mr. Fishman. He exercised stock options and sold a little over $10 million of Big Lots stock on March 20. On April 23, Big Lots disclosed that first-quarter sales had slowed, beginning in late March. The stock sank 24% on the news. The quarter ended on Apr. 28.
When the Journal a week ago reported the SEC probe into Mr. Fishman's trading, Big Lots General Counsel Charles W. Haubiel II said the company was unaware of any SEC inquiry.
On Dec. 4, Big Lots said Mr. Fishman was retiring. The next day, Big Lots disclosed it received a subpoena from the Manhattan U.S. attorney on Nov. 29 asking for details on Mr. Fishman's trading. The company said the timing of his retirement was unrelated.
In the VeriFone situation, both the U.S. Attorney and the SEC are examining the timing of Mr. Bergeron's decision to set up a 10b5-1 plan in January 2011, several weeks before his stock sale, according to people familiar with the probes.
The Journal reported in its November article that Mr. Bergeron sold nearly $14 million of stock from March 28 to March 30, 2011, receiving between $55 and $57 a share. On April 5, the stock began a protracted slide that continued amid news of a mid-May government suit to block an acquisition. The decline left it just above $30 in August.
A VeriFone spokesman declined to comment on the investigations but said Mr. Bergeron didn't know of the bad news when he set up the plan, adding he "has always utilized a preset, fixed-formula trading program for his VeriFone stock transactions, regardless of the stock's performance." Mr. Bergeron couldn't be reached.
It isn't the first time Mr. Bergeron's trading has come to the SEC's attention. Between August and November 2007, he sold about $29 million of VeriFone stock through a family trust at an average price of more than $42 a share, according to SEC filings.
In early December 2007, a week after his last sale, the company said it would restate earnings because of accounting irregularities that had surfaced in August after an internal investigation. The stock fell to just over $20.
In an October 2008 deposition during an SEC probe of VeriFone's accounting, the SEC asked Mr. Bergeron about his sales. He said he made stock sales under a 10b5-1 plan, according to a transcript reviewed by the Journal. An SEC investigator asked him what he paid for the shares, according to the transcript. Mr. Bergeron answered three cents. "Three cents, wow," the SEC lawyer said, according to the transcript.
In September 2009, VeriFone settled SEC civil charges of filing false results for 2007's first nine months, without admitting or denying the allegations.
Mr. Bergeron wasn't accused of wrongdoing in the case. An SEC spokesman declined to comment.

Both of them seem to have the strength to make it to 100k with relative quickness and ease, merrily crushing proteins as they advance. Soon you guys will join mosheen, who has just crossed 100k and has earned his folding badge. I believe he's still working on his Boinc requirement for the contest, so hopefully he makes it in time. Wait a minute, I'm covering international shipping. Shipping to Mauritius?
It would appear that today's results are the first step in the decline for HWC, as they've dropped down to just over 990k today. Our point total has seen decline in the past few days, most likely because Buck is currently seeing a large drop in points. Hopefully its nothing too grievous and costly, as those types of things are never fun to have to deal with. We should see some extra leeway opening up really soon in the next few days. This should allow a little extra breathing room for those of us who've been figuring out hardware issues. I hate dropping things off for too long to get it all fixed up, because I'm never sure if I'll be able to turn it on again before I have to stop working on it. Keep folding guys, 2 days till the top 50! Pie! Winners of the MPA!

For starters we have iFX and Weer grabbing 25k and 50k respectively. Next we have Gaximodo hitting 100k and earning his folding badge. Past that we have TeXBill earning 250k, while nflesher posts up his 500k milestone. Lastly, we have Sneekypeet posting up his 2 millionth folding point tonight, bringing tonights flurry of milestones to an end. Some good hard work went into all these names earning their mention tonight. Good job all. + And if you though tonight was a big night, tomorrow already shows 2 millionaires and another milestone that will be occurring. Congrats to all.
Sure did, but it missed the 22nd by a couple of hours it seems. So officially it'll be posted up tomorrow. Because that's no fun, here's a little something something.
I know right? I do remember when his PCs were truly 'POS', not to knock your hardware. And even though his PCs aren't top of the line, the power he manages to squeeze out of his rigs indicate a dedicated folder and cruncher. His million is hard earned and well deserved.
I know i may not have the best hardware or the most power out of everyone but looking back about 2-3years ago i see that i have alot better stuff now.I should be putting out even better numbers soon as i will be adding a 2nd 8800GT to my main rig and another 8800GT to my newly built cruncher thanks for the kind words
It would appear we're starting to see some of the points owed to us being handed out. As such we've officially broken 1 million points. I'm inclined to disregard celebrating it seeming our total is artificially boosted, though we're close and it won't take us much longer to get there and sustain it. We'll be up there in actuality soon. Meanwhile Deadthings continued to switch back to his home team, which resulted in HWC only beating us by 150k. Its difficult to tell the current standings due to the changing points totals. In a few days once everything is settled and distributed, we'll see a much clearer picture of where we stand. HWC's contest ends in a few days so we're likely to see more dropping. 16 hours until the top 50! Pie! Winners of the MPA!

Starting off tonight we have MStenholm earning 100k, and his folding badge in the 20 or so days he's been folding for us. Next we have the aforementioned POS PC 1 million point extravaganza showing up. There should also be a nice badge upgrade accompanying that milestone. From there we've got 2 more millionaires tossing another million on the pile. Mike047 and Beertintedgoggles snag 6 million and 5 million respectively. Beertinted should be earning a new badge with that, and Mike047 is looking to close the gap between him and mmaakk. Congrats to all the stoners.
Did you recently put some more wood on the fire? I'm not the only one who might put a damper on your hopes! What does the 9753 represent?
I added little bit. That would be great to see, because then the team would really kicking butt at the same time HWC declines. 9753=last for digits of my phone number, I wasn't feeling very creative that day.
Congrats to the multi-millionaires. A special tip of the hat to P_O_S_PC who shows you don't need a ton of cash and a bunch of i7 rigs to put up some big numbers.
Way to go indeed! And if that wasn't enough, over the next 2 weeks we'll be jumping up 5 more spaces. The next overtake is again in 16 hours. As for the news on the war front, HWC has dropped to just 60k ahead of us. Though the stats are pretty wonky tonight, seemingly resulting in some uncounted work units. There's gotta be a backlog of work units some where. One thing is certain though, TPU still has alot of upward momentum, and we'll be cruising our way right up the list. The thing I find scary, is that the top 6 all put out a minimum of 50k yesterday. These 2 rigs I own would've made me a shoe in for 2nd place 5 months ago. Now 7th is the best it can manage based on tonight's numbers. I now know that I have to get a second tenant to pay for the uptime of a second i7. Perhaps I'll get GTX 260s for now until Fermi comes out. Spare no expenses. I will have my vengeance on you all! Pie! Winners of the MPA!

Though I must say, kudos to TeXBill whose gathered 300,000 points in just 18 days. Oh, also of special note is that TPU has passed 180 million points produced!
I broke 50k tonight. Yay!!!! http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&teamnum=50711&username=Wile_E At this pace, I should have my folding badge in a week or so.
We're back up at 880k, and we would have hit above 900k had my rig not crashed. At any rate we're still working out a few kinks in terms of PPD, as I know more members than just me are currently experiencing hiccups. Having said that we've also got some guys who are further adding to their arsenal. I wonder just how close to 1 million we'll be. And also tonight, we've outpaced HWC by a good 80k. Nice work surviving the pressure everyone, now lets work on rebuilding that points lead. We've gone up a spot again as well and are currently sitting at 49th place. In 4 days we'll jump up two more spaces. We're still moving forward at an incredible pace, and we're seeing quite a few more big name teams hitting our sights. Let's topple some giants. Pie!

He should be earning his forum bling in about 1 weeks time, judging by his pace. Meanwhile, dhoshaw posted up his 2 millionth for Techpowerup, which puts him at just over 3 million overall in points. A very nice achievement indeed.

Each morning the past few days I have greeted the dawn at the beach. It's how I've always wanted to welcome the new day–outdoors, with face to sky. I've tried before, to get my sleepy self up (consistently) before the sun, and it's never worked. But for some reason, something clicked this week. And now it's the thing I crave. In fact, this morning I woke without the alarm, still sleepy yes, but wanting the ocean breeze on my face more than the soft pillow beneath me.
It's quiet there, on the beach, at dawn. Just light, and earth, and air, and me. And I find stillness in the solitude. Stillness that centers this whirling mind of mine. Thoughts come and go, just as the waves rush in and out. But they float more like gulls on the wind rather than a storm-tossed ship.
It is here that I feel close to God. Every time I look out at the horizon or up at the atmosphere, to the right, or to the left, I hear His voice reminding me,
Endless adj \ˈen(d)-ləs\ 1 : to be without end 2 : extremely numerous 3 : joined at the ends
This morning, after returning home, I watched this video at the recommendation of a friend,
And I find myself now sitting in peaceful contemplation. With certainty.
There is a God in Heaven. And we are His children, in the very literal sense. He, the Supreme Ruler and Creator of the Universe, is the Father of our spirits. We lived with Him before we were born, together as a spirit family. He knows us each. And He loves us each. Because He created us each.
He is perfect, and kind, and merciful, and just. And forgiving. He is as real as the skin on my body. He is not mystical or unknowable, but is a personal God, ever-ready to come to us, to guide us, and to help us–essentially to be the Father He is.
We can pray to Him, and He will listen. But more importantly, He will answer. This I know. He will answer.
I know these things because I've talked with Him. I've counseled with Him. And no matter how confused I am or how big of a mess I've made, He always is there.
I don't know if you're the praying type, or the believing type. But I just want to say, that if you go to Him, you will find Him.
And I hope you will.

Prayer & Support
What a great idea Patricia ... I will either read the readings and watch on EWTN ..
Here is the website for their readings and replay of the mass. God has blessed us with wonderful resources.
May we all have a blessed Lent ! I can't believe Ash Wednesday is this week. I know many that give up the computer for Lent, but I will be using it for EWTN ..
Check here. www.ewtn.com
God Bless
Hi Kathleen, thanks for joining us for Lent in daily Mass and/or Readings. And, thanks for providing the link for those who aren't aware of this!
I would really try if we had daily mass, we only have mass twice a week. I will try and do the readings or watch it on ewtn.
Hi Dave. I didn't realize there are places that don't have daily Mass. So, those of us who have access to it should truly be greatful. Anyhow, thanks for joining us in going to Mass when you can and doing the readings with us for Lent!
Thank you, Joe, for those kind words. And, if you the Spirit moves you to join us in extra Masses or Daily Readings, we certainly welcome you.
And, welcome to the forums!
Thanks, Erin, for joining us in extra Masses and your own suggestion of Holy Hour in front of theBlessed Sacrament and Stations of the Cross. All of these are wonderful ideas for Lent!
As we start our daily Masses and Mass readings on Ash Wednesday, let us keep in our intentions Pope Benedict XVI and his health, and that the Holy Spirit will guide the Papal Conclave (which will take place during Lent), and for courage and wisdom for the new Pope (whomever that will be)!
I would love to but I will have to see how it will work out with my new job. I am hoping that I will be able to attend daily mass.
Thank you, Jessica, for wanting to join us in daily Mass during Lent. We will hope and pray that works out with you with your new job. If not, remember you can always just do the daily readings!

Recapture the Moment: Videos from Reunion 2012
All in the FamilyFrom alumnae in the Classes of '37 and '42 to the members of the Class of 2007 back for their first reunion, Middlebury alumni came together in Mead Chapel at Reunion Convocation on Saturday. In participating in Convocation, alumni are joining in a tradition that goes back to 1850 and the first reunion held in conjunction with Middlebury's semi-centennial. As President Liebowitz did this year, then President Benjamin Labaree addressed alumni at Convocation but in Old Chapel, which was then one of only three buildings on campus. |
A Conversation with the PresidentMiddlebury President Ron Liebowitz is known for telling it like it is. Hear his take on the College today and learn about his vision for its future in this wide-ranging conversation with alumni at this year's reunion. |
Our Changing ClimateBill McKibben—environmentalist, author, and Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury—gave alumni an update on the science and politics of climate change. He also told the story of how, in many ways, the fight against climate began at Middlebury. |
Cosmic GeometryVermont artist Sabra Field '57 shares the back story of the College's newest work of art—a monumental new mural entitled Cosmic Geometry—and shares insights into its creation. Championed by Kate Lupo '10 and commissioned by the committee on art in public places, the three-story mural illustrates the effects that spiraling, tiling, branching, and scaling have on nature. (The video was recorded at Field's talk on the same subject at Reunion 2011.) |
