Another Rosetta Job Completed

My cancer fighting friends, more good news communicated today. Although UD is still working on getting the stats (remember they are just for fun) database back up to date, we are still moving forward on the real work. Once the stats are back up, all the points you have accumulated in the interim will be credited (again, the stats have no significance and no meaning other than to invoke some friendly competition, a somewhat measure of work we have done, and just fun for us stat junkies). The real work is the data sent, and on that account we are moving forward.

My thanks again for all the love and compassion this team has shown Karen and Nate. I've said it in other places and I'll say it here again, although we crunch molecules to help find a cure, I have always felt the crunching was secondary to the hope, strength and love we are able to share and give to those in their hour of darkness and need. For the love and support I have seen you guys share, I am forever thankful to have somehow been fortunate enough to cross paths with all you great guys and gals. It is my privilege to say we are teammates in this fight.

We have completed another Rosetta job and are currently rolling up the final results. As mentioned earlier, we will leave the job active for a week so that any outstanding workunits can be credited. Hopefully this new process is working for everyone.

A new Rosetta job has been activated so you may continue to crunch away at the new data. Thank you for your contribution. _________________ -----------------

Update noted.
Have two rather lengthy questions re: UD - probably better I email you, if that's ok?

Dear users, We finally have some good news regarding team stats. Our new stats data import appears to be successful.

Team stats are now up to date through July 23 (up from July 19). Please note that the stats
update script only processes a single day at a time. This means we
will need to run the script several times to get us caught up to
present day. Each run takes a couple of hours so it will be a few
days before we are totally caught up. (Yes, I know this process
could be better).

When the stats update is being run, you cannot view any stats on
the member web page. Since we will be running this back to back to
try to get caught up, expect access to the stats page to be
extremely limited for the next few days.

Thanks to everyone for hanging in there during our troubleshooting
and recovery procedures. _________________
