Nutritious Rice for the World project (WCG) finished on April 6, 2010

World Community Grid is pleased to announce that as a result of the generous contribution of computing power from our members, the Nutritious Rice for the World project finished on April 6, 2010.

The project was launched on May 12, 2008. While it was active, World Community Grid members processed over 29 million results which required nearly 26,000 years of computing power. This work would have taken about 200 years of time using the computing resources available to the researchers at the University of Washington. Using World Community Grid, this research was completed in less than two years.

Folding@home: New award for Folding@home team

Folding@home researcher Greg Bowman was awarded the 2010 Kuhn Paradigm Shift Award from the American Chemical Society (ACS) for his talk on two paradigm shifts resulting from Folding@home:
1) the new methods that Folding@home uses to simulate protein folding, misfolding, etc, and
2) the results themselves, which suggest a significant change in protein folding theory.

The power of sharing

Earlier this month, IBM and the Scripps Research Institute announced a major breakthrough in the fight against HIV/AIDS. World Community Grid — which supplied researchers with more than 109,000 YEARS of computation time over a five year period — was a major factor in this groundbreaking success. Now, there is hope for a new class of drugs to help the more than 33 million people who are infected worldwide.

Sky Valley Chronicle Washington State News | BREAKING NEWS | “WAVE” OF STUDENT SUICIDES AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY

Sky Valley Chronicle Washington State News | BREAKING NEWS | “WAVE” OF STUDENT SUICIDES AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY

(ITHACA, NEW YORK) -- What is described as “a wave of suicides” at Cornell University in the past two semesters is a serious "public health crisis," according to the school's mental health initiatives director Timothy Marchell who added the school was “not out of the woods yet.”

The Ithaca New York Police Department reported four student suicides during the fall 2009 semester, and at least two over the last two months.

It's a departure for Charlies Web Teams to publish this story, but I felt the need.

Recent reports of two celebrity children dying at their own hands made the news and I lost my cousin under similar circumstances last month as well. Soon after tweeting about my cousin, I received a new follower on Twitter. Now that person has started her own blog here,
I am a survivor... here's my story on Blogger!

All of this prompted me to add the SocialVibe widget for "To Write Love On Her Arms" a charity which supports suicide prevention. While not a typical Charlies Web venture and NOT distributed computing, folks can click through to SocialVibe and help me support these efforts. While they are there, they may find a charity they would like to help as well.

Scientists successfully embed silicon chips inside living cells - SmartPlanet

Call it the final frontier: the semiconductor industry has finally figured out how to embed silicon chips inside living cells.

The continuing miniaturization of the fabrication process — we’re now at 22 nanometers — has allowed Spanish researchers to begin integrating nanoelectronic components with living cells, according to a Nanowerk report.

Until now, scientists have only been able to embed living cells in nanoelectronics. Now technology is small enough to perform the reverse.
