W  C  G _____  Hello and once again, I'm Jim McKay and welcome to another edition of WCG Wide World of Sports. We would like to take the opportunity to say how proud we are at WCG SPORT are to cover this...... one second... my producer says we are cutting to the arena. So lets take you now LIVE to the opening day ceremonies. With words by the most trusted voice in American journalism, Walter Cronkite. Accompanied by the WCG Drum & Bugle Corp. CLICK HERE for accompanying music. The timestamp on each section of text relates to when in the music it should be read. If you have any questions on how to recite this post, please contact courine directly at the email below, so you can share in this vision as she. ____________________________________________ [WCG Drum & Bugle Corp marches out to center field] 0:00 %xx %xx %xx (percussion) [The stadium lights dim. Single trumpet takes center spotlight, Cronkite reads:] 0:22 Since the dawn of the modern age, the computer, a testament to mathematics, engineering and human prowess. 0:36 Once seen only by science and business as a tool, is now recognized by many more as a trusted ally and friend. [French horn joins as the spotlight widens] 0:53 The Internet, another of mankind’s greatest triumphs. 1:06 For now even the most novice user can causally access this miracle looking glass into the sum stores of human knowledge. 1:15 Commerce, community, education, entertainment, worlds in which we still marvel. 1:26 %xx %xx [Baritone and bass ensemble joins in as the spotlight widens even still] 1:37 Distributive computing =< =< =< Distributive computing, the next step in this evolution. 1:53 Now even the most common person can join with the hand of science… [spotlight widens to light the whole arena] 2:01 And reach forth together! 2:09 As we reach forward for a better world, as a world, together! 2:21 So here we are, =< =< =< within the walls of this very epiphany. 2:33 What could be so deserving of this fanfare? 2:43 For today, teams from around the world have gathered representing many nations, races and creeds. Drawn here in celebration with a spirit born from our ancient past. 2:56 From those of its creation to all that will attend: ........."We, of the arena, salute you!" [McKay] And now for specifics on this race, our own bbover3, World Community Grid Admin World Community Grid is very excited that very soon the number of Results Returned from member computers will reach 200,000,000. This means that since the launch of World Community Grid, every second of every minute, approximately 2 to 3 results are returned to World Community Grid from our members to help humanity. A very sincere THANK YOU goes to you, the World Community Grid volunteers. Your contributions are helping to make a significant difference in the way researchers are finding solutions to benefit humanity. To celebrate the 200,000,000 result event, A Team Challenge has been started: THE 200 MILLIONTH RESULT RACE: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challe...lenge.do?challengeId=1381 In addition, we are going to do the following: 1. The member who returns the 200 millionth result will receive a World Community Grid t-shirt and a Thank You certificate. 2. If the member who returns the 200 millionth result is part of a team, the team captain of that team will also receive a World Community Grid t-shirt and a Thank You certificate for their assistance in rallying support. 3. The team captain of the team that wins “THE 200 MILLIONTH RESULT RACE” challenge will receive a World Community Grid t-shirt and a Thank You certificate for their assistance in rallying support. 4. The member name of the winners will be posted on this thread unless they wish to remain anonymous. When the 200 millionth result is returned, we will notify the winning member via email and ask for their permission to post their member name on the website so that everyone may know who won. The same process will be followed for the winning team captains. The member names of the winners will be posted as an attachment to this Member News post and on the What’s New on the home page. If the winners do not respond within 7 days, or have an invalid email address, then the member who returned the 200,000,001 result will be the winner (and so on until we identify a member who responds). We hope that this event will be fun and we thank everyone for every result that has been returned. All of your combined contributions have made World Community Grid a success by advancing humanitarian research. THANK YOU!!!!! Note: World Community Grid support people, including CA’s, are not eligible to win. [McKay] We will be back with more after a word from our affiliates. So stay with us.

 Just a warm up graph. This is the total for WCG. A guess is we should pass 200 million results ~ Aug. 23'rd. Changed the scales for clarity. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 5, 2008 3:49:56 AM] |

Two teams joined today. The official scoring doesn't count yesterday's scores for these teams. I set the graphs likewise.

Two more teams joined today. As before I started their score as of today. I will need to rearrange the graphs sooner than I expected.
