This is an atmospheric moonlit scene of a ship coming in to harbor, painted in oil on Academy Board and measuring 15 1/8 x 11 inches. It is obscurely signed "H. G. Lask..?" in the lower right corner; although we have not been able to determine the identity of the artist, this painting is certainly done by a skilled hand, very much in the style of James Gale Tyler.

3GB vs. 6GB Memory Performance Analysis on X58 - Final Thoughts
Today we have a look at a 3GB and 6GB kit of memory and see how the extra memory affects overall system performance.Final Thoughts
The first thing I have to say is that these little Crucial memory modules were extremely surprising when it came to overclocking ability. In an individual review I wouldn't hesitate giving these modules an Editor's Choice award thanks to the competitive price and overall excellent performance they offer.
Moving away from the modules themselves and having a closer look at the two configurations, we find that double the amount of memory is doing very little in everything from synthetic memory benchmarks all the way to real world games.
One of the biggest advantages when moving from 2GB of memory to 4GB of memory was that your overall Vista experience felt smoother and snappier. But moving from 3GB to 6GB doesn't really give us this effect and with 3GB of memory everything is still running very nicely. While for most people they thought that going from 2GB to 4GB of memory gave the best performance increase, it was more so moving from 2GB to 3GB+ that helped the most.
Does this mean that 6GB kits are pointless? No! - For people who multi-task heavily, the extra memory is extremely handy. Also, start throwing programs like Photoshop and other graphics rendering / creating programs into it and the extra memory is not really wanted; rather, it's needed.
From a gaming perspective, though, even at the ultra intensive 2560 x 1600 resolution the extra memory does very little for extra performance and while your games might load ever so slightly faster, for people on a tight or strict budget the increase doesn't warrant the extra cost that is carried with moving to a 6GB kit.
Depending on who you are will decide on how much memory you get. If you have the money or just want the best you're going to end up with 6GB. If you multi-task a lot and use your computer for work that runs memory intensive programs, then you will no doubt end up with 6GB or even 12GB.
If you're on a budget or would rather spend the money you save by buying a 3GB kit over a 6GB one in order to upgrade your graphics card, you will end up with 3GB of memory and still be extremely happy.
Don't let someone tell you that buying 6GB is a must; if you're not the kind of user that is going to use it, the money could be better spent in other areas where a bigger impact will be made on performance.

"We are confident of their ability to bring back gold, as we have done in past SEA Games", he told a press conference at Bukit Jalil, here.
However, he said discussions were ongoing with the BAM as well as the coaches on the possibility of sending a senior squad for the women's team.
Meanwhile, the chief coach of the Project 2010-2012 squad, Rashid Sidek, said senior players in the project like Kuan Beng Hong, Gan Teik Chai/Lin Wooi Fui and Lydia Cheah would be part of the back-up squad to Korat to provide guidance for the more junior shuttlers.
He believed that his players would be able to upset the more senior and experienced players from Indonesia and Singapore at the Games. - Bernama

Channel Intelligence, Inc.
Published: July 2005
Comparison shopping sites and portals like Shopping.com, Shopzilla, CNET Shopper, Yahoo! Shopping and others can be very effective at driving highly qualified leads to a retailer`s online store. However, many online retailers fail to achieve these results due to data problems that limit the effectiveness of these marketing programs. Comparison Shopping Optimization is an ongoing process that significantly improves traffic, conversion rates and profitability from these sites – and provides the metrics to measure their success.
What is Comparison Shopping Optimization?
If a brick-and-mortar retailer flips through its Sunday circular and finds that one-third of its pages are blank, someone is going to get an irate call first thing the next morning. If the retailer realizes that some of its key products were supposed to be advertised on those blank pages, someone is going to get a really irate call that very moment. A Sunday circular would never allow itself to fail in this manner.
The same type of problem is happening every day to online retailers, but it has gone largely unnoticed. Comparison shopping sites and portals, like the circulars in the Sunday newspaper, allow consumers to research and compare products before selecting a retailer for final purchase. But in many cases, a significant number of products that the retailer chooses to display on these sites fail to appear at all or, if they do, the products may show up in a non-optimal location on these sites. As a result, the effectiveness of the marketing dollars spent at these sites is reduced, in some cases, significantly.
Comparison shopping sites attempt to ensure that their clients` products are listed properly. But with thousands of retailers and tens of millions of products available for sale, it is nearly impossible for each retailer`s products to get the attention they deserve. The volume and complexity of the data is too much to handle on this scale.
For this reason, the Comparison Shopping Optimization process was created. This process ensures that every product appears in the optimal location on each comparison shopping site. The process gives control of these marketing programs to the online retailers, not the comparison shopping sites. In fact, five of the top 16 online retailers listed in the 2005 Internet Retailer Top 400 are already seeing the benefits of Comparison Shopping Optimization.
Learning from the Failures of the Past
When online retailers struggle to succeed with a comparison shopping site, these are some of the common reactions:
1. Bidding for placement to improve product visibility
2. Eliminating product categories that appear to have low traffic or conversion rates
3. Completely removing all products from that comparison shopping site
4. Trying a different comparison shopping site (go to Step #1)
The problem with this approach is that the underlying source of the problem is not addressed. Until the product data is optimized for each comparison shopping site, the retailer will never achieve optimal results with these sites.
Once the root cause is solved, however, Steps #1 and #2 above are perfectly valid techniques to promote specific products or categories. Until then, these techniques simply mask the underlying cause of the problems.
Getting to the Root Cause – Data, Placement, Search
There are three components of a retailer`s product data that directly affect its success with comparison shopping sites:
Data – The Universal Problem
Every retailer works to ensure their product data is accurate and complete, but this is a challenge in the online world. With the push for online stores to significantly expand their product catalogs, and the continuous introduction of new products, it is nearly impossible to achieve the goal of accurate and complete data for every product.
As a further complication, the data expected by the comparison shopping sites may differ from the data the retailer has in its systems. It is common for a product to be referred to by different model numbers and manufacturer names, which could lead to confusion for consumers, improper categorization of products and missed sales opportunities.
Comparison Shopping Optimization solves the problem of sending product data that is inaccurate, incomplete or simply different than the data expected by the comparison shopping site. This optimization process automatically "unifies" the retailer`s product data with that of the comparison shopping site. This translation process ensures that the retailer`s products appear at these sites.
Improved Product Placement without Bidding
Every online retailer and comparison shopping site places products into categories to provide an intuitive navigation method for consumers. Anecdotal evidence suggests that just over half of consumers use navigation to find products online, while the rest use search. Placing products into the correct categories is an essential online merchandising strategy. But incorrect or non-optimal placement is fairly common at comparison shopping sites due to the data being sent to these sites.

We describe a rapid in-line hydrodynamic clarification process that does not require a filtration barrier for source water pretreatment in front of RO membranes. Innovations of this novel approach include fluidic structures for rapid coagulation, floc conditioning, and hydrodynamic pin floc separation. The ability to treat neutrally buoyant suspensions makes this method ideal for seawater, which has high organic content -- resulting water quality is shown to be comparable to permeate waters from MF systems.

Thieves who broke into two locked vehicles at an Oak Creek restaurant got away with almost $15,000 worth of high-end electrical equipment and accessories Oct. 11.
According to the Oak Creek police log:
An employee at Branded Steer Restaurant, 1299 W. College Ave., called police after a customer reported his locked truck had been broken into about 8:15 p.m. Oct. 11. The rear passenger-side window was smashed to gain access to the personal property inside.
Items stolen from the vehicle were two HP laptop computers, a value of $2,400; two iPads, a value of $1,700; a Mac computer and a MacBook, a value of $4,000; a $250 Garmin GPS unit; a $1,000 fountain pen; a $200 Nissan remote key; a $100 backpack; a $400 computer bag and $200 worth of miscellaneous chargers. Damage to the truck is estimated at $250.
While investigating, an officer found another vehicle in the parking lot with a smashed driver-side window. The owner of the car was soon found and he confirmed that a $200 briefcase, a $3,000 Dell laptop computer and a $1,500 Panasonic projector had been stolen during the break-in. Damage to the car window was estimated at $250.
Both crimes occurred in the restaurant parking lot between 7:30 and 8:10 p.m.

Neal gets second hat trick in win
Sidney Crosby isn't scoring goals. The way he is setting up his teammates, it hardly matters.
The Pittsburgh captain dished out four assists in his first home game in over three months, James Neal recorded his second NHL hat trick, and the Penguins crushed the Winnipeg Jets 8-4 on Tuesday night.
''You give them space and they eat you up,'' Winnipeg coach Claude Noel said. ''That's what they did.''
Evgeni Malkin added two goals - including the 200th of his NHL career - and added three assists to lift his point total to an NHL-leading 93. Pittsburgh bounced back from an overtime loss in Philadelphia on Sunday, that ended an 11-game winning streak, and pulled within a point of the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers.
''There were some nice hockey plays out there,'' Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. ''There's some of that tape you see in some highlight videos.''
Having two of the best players on the planet playing alongside each other for stretches certainly helps.
Crosby has nine points in four games since his return from concussion-like symptoms. He fed linemate Tyler Kennedy for a pair of goals and helped set up power-play tallies by Neal and Malkin.
Not bad for a guy who has played only 12 games in 14 months.
''There are still areas where I need to get sharper,'' said Crosby, who had over 19 minutes of ice time. ''But everyone is playing so well ... makes it easier for anyone coming back.''
Bryan Little scored twice for the Jets. Ondrej Pavelec was pulled in the second after allowing five Penguins goals on 24 shots. The Jets remained four points behind eighth-place Washington and the Eastern Conference's postseason cutoff with nine games remaining.
Pavelec played well, but he got little help from his defense. The Jets allowed Crosby, Malkin and Neal to go wherever they wanted during a wide-open game that showcased how dynamic the Penguins can be at full strength.
''You can't really match up against that,'' Little said. ''They've got so much depth. Every time you're out there you're going to be playing against one of the better players in the league. We had to be tighter defensively and we didn't do that.''
Hockey players are a tough breed. Doubt it? Check out some of the worst on-ice accidents in NHL history.Though Crosby's shooting touch could use some work - he hasn't scored since his electric season debut against the New York Islanders on Nov. 21 - his vision remains impeccable. Crosby's 11-game goal drought is the longest of his career.
He needed only two minutes to score his first point at home since he had three assists against Ottawa on Nov. 25. Crosby fed the puck to Tyler Kennedy in the slot for Kennedy's seventh goal of the season that made it 1-0.
Winnipeg took a brief lead in the first, sneaking a pair of shots past Pittsburgh backup Brad Thiessen, but it hardly mattered.
Neal scored his first of the night on the power play, a unit that features two of the league's best players. Crosby whipped a behind-the-back pass to Malkin at the side of the net, and the Russian flicked a pass to Neal for a one-timed shot that tied it at 2 late in the first.
Neal scored during a scrum in front of the net at 1:15 of the second. Winnipeg quickly tied it at 3 before Kennedy - who hadn't scored since Jan. 13 - netted his second of the night early in the second. Crosby again did most of the work, beating two Jets to the puck behind the Winnipeg net and then finding Kennedy on the doorstep.
The Penguins kept coming in a game that looked like something straight out of the 1980s. Pittsburgh has won 11 straight at home against the Jets - formerly the Atlanta Thrashers - and scored eight goals in each of Winnipeg's two visits to Consol Energy Center this season.
''We don't want to get into (shootouts) but we do have the talent to keep up with any team if that's going to happen,'' Neal said. ''Once it starts going it's hard to pull back.''
Malkin's 200th goal came with Thiessen pulled during a delayed penalty. With his parents watching from the stands, Malkin stood in his favorite spot in the right circle and whipped the puck past Pavelec to make it 5-3.
Noel had seen enough, lifting Pavelec in favor of Chris Mason.
Tim Stapleton got Winnipeg within one, but Neal responded with a snap shot for his third goal of the night. Neal had his previous hat trick against Toronto on Dec. 28, 2008, while playing for Dallas.
Pittsburgh is clicking so well that the Penguins are scoring even when they are not trying. Malkin scored his 43rd early in the third when he blindly flipped a backhanded centering pass at the net that deflected in off Mason's left pad.
NOTES: The Penguins haven't lost to the Jets franchise since Dec. 27, 2006. ... Pittsburgh scratched D Ben Lovejoy, G Brent Johnson and forwards Richard Park, Dustin Jeffrey and Joe Vitale. ... The Jets scratched defensemen Randy Jones and Mark Flood and forwards Eric Fehr, Chris Thorburn and Nik Antropov. ... The Penguins have won eight straight home games, the longest active streak in the league. ... Thiessen made 26 saves as he gave No. 1 goalie Marc-Andre Fleury the night off.

It was the same, sad song that's been sung often before. A fresh young talent, with an exciting career before them brutally cut down due to drugs and alcohol. Thirty-one-year-old singer and actor Cory Monteith, star of the hit TV series "Glee" died alone in a Vancouver hotel room. An autopsy proved that Monteith died of heroin and alcohol.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Monteith had been straightforward over his past battles with substance abuse. What came as a most unpleasant surprise was that heroin factored into his death. In many people's minds, the notion of a heroin user is the emaciated figure one sees creeping in urban neighborhoods, not fresh-faced young hopefuls.

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Valley Biosystems (SV Bio), a diagnostics company founded to provide rapid, accurate, and turnkey clinical interpretation of comprehensive genomics data at the point of care to improve the health and outcomes of patients, was launched today. Backed by Sequoia Capital, a premier venture capital firm that helped to build Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Oracle and numerous biotech companies, SV Bio is ushering in the next phase of genomics-based medicine by providing clinicians with the tools they need to make faster, more precise and cost-saving decisions.
"The transition is occurring very rapidly nowadays from genomics as a science to genomics as a key driver of clinical medicine and decision-making at the bedside," noted Dietrich Stephan, Ph.D., SV Bio founder and CEO. "As genomic sequencing costs plummet, the potential clinical impact soars. SV Bio is building the requisite bridge from the genomics bench to the bedside, assisting physicians with the accurate and actionable interpretation they need for optimizing care for each individual."
Up to now, clinical adoption of genomic technologies has been hampered by the deluge of data, the difficulty of analysis in real-time, and the difficulty of integrating research technologies into the clinical setting. SV Bio intends to accelerate that adoption, by making it simple and easy for all types of physicians and large health care providers.
"SV Bio really sees the world through the eyes of the clinician. To us, the word 'actionable' means finding a precise diagnosis for a case; reducing risk for family members; and predicting if treatments will be effective or futile," said Tim Triche, M.D., Ph.D., a clinician with 30 years of scientific and medical experience at pioneering companies including OncorMed, Genelogic, and GenomeDx and also Chairman of Pathology at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, who serves on the company's Board of Directors. "It takes data currently available but cumbersome and challenging to use, and delivers it in a format that is more easily interpreted by the physician and applicable to individualized patient care."
A Rapid, Easy to Use Decision Support Tool for Clinicians
SV Bio's turnkey genomics interpretation services query the patient's genome at the point of care and distill the biological data into a concise, actionable report that medical generalists and specialists can easily use as a decision support tool.
The SV Bio platform fits into current clinical workflows and is able to take data from any next generation sequencer and determine with clinical grade sensitivity and specificity which genetic variants within a patient's DNA sequence are influencing a disease or condition. The resulting clinical reports are fast—taking only minutes to complete from sample sequence to delivery of the report to the physician—and are presented in a format that makes it easy for practitioners to read, interpret and apply to patient care.
Early Success Identifying Underlying Causes of Mystery Conditions
Many patients have already been helped by SV Bio diagnostic services. One recent case involved a family with two affected children who were initially thought to have autism spectrum disorder due to their language regression, IQ drops and seizures at 2 years of age. Subsequent neurodegenerative decline puzzled physicians at leading medical institutions and triggered a multi-year odyssey of clinical workups and focused genetic testing. Ultimately, the physicians turned to SV Bio, where the patient genomes were sequenced and the underlying genetic mutation in a gene named TPP1 was uncovered immediately. The gene defect causes the extremely rare disease late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis that is fatal by 8 years of age. The mutation was verified biochemically to be causative of the disorder, and allowed the children to gain access to a clinical trial that has shown promising results at halting the progression of the disease – a trial to which they would never have turned for a solution to a fatal disease in the absence of a specific molecular diagnosis.
"This is the new wave of genomics medicine; one that we expect to set new precedents and have a major impact on healthcare overall," said Dr. Triche.
SV Bio is currently providing diagnostic testing services to physicians and centers of excellence for all heritable genetic conditions. These services include testing single genes and bundled gene sets for disorders which are genetically heterogeneous and for which the causative genes are known. In addition, testing of the entire genome is available for mystery illnesses or in cases where other diagnostic companies could not return a definitive result because the causative gene is not known, or in cases where a variant was detected but could not be classified as causative. SV Bio uses sophisticated classification technology to provide the highest precision of pathogenicity prediction for variants, which have not been seen before - increasing sensitivity when coupled with the highest quality next-generation sequencing of the entire genome. Testing can be obtained by contacting SV Bio at [email protected].

Isabella Rossellini: A great actress enters the animal kingdom as a bee and a hamster
In her new film, the actress dresses up as a rodent – it's all part of her interest in maternity, she tells Geoffrey Macnab
Friday 22 February 2013
A snowy morning in Berlin and Isabella Rossellini is sitting on the top floor of a high-rise apartment, discussing the domestic arrangements of hamsters, wasps and cuckoos. Dressed in black, Rossellini, now 60, still cuts a glamorous figure. She looks remarkably like her mother Ingrid Bergman, star of Casablanca. She has the same big eyes, high cheek bones and melancholy demeanour. It's easy to make the comparison because there is a big pile of booklets promoting a new photo book about her mum on the table in front of her: Ingrid Bergman: A Life In Pictures (which will be published later in the year.)
The reason Rossellini is discussing hamsters is that she has just made Mamas, a series of short films exploring the maternal instincts of animals. This is a follow up to her earlier Green Porno (in which the subject was mating.) The point about hamsters is that they sometimes eat their babies – although they are very good mothers otherwise. "I take classes at the university about animal behaviour and biology. I came across a book by a woman biologist called Marlene Zuk," says Rossellini, explaining her inspiration for the project.
We all assume we know what maternal instinct is. Rossellini makes the point that there is "much diversity and variety" in maternal behaviour in nature as there is in courtship strategy and lovemaking. "It's comical. I find animal behaviour to be humorous."
Mamas is indeed a funny and eccentric endeavour. To illustrate her points, Rossellini dresses up as the animals she is describing. We therefore get to see her in her hamster outfit, munching on her little ones.
"Before Darwin, our world was very religious. People saw altruism as something given by God for us to be good so that we could go to Paradise. Darwin was looking at the biological origins of altruism, which would contradict (the idea of) natural selection," Rossellini ruminates, beginning to sound more like a university lecturer than a model and actress.
Her film picks up on research from women biologists such as Zuk into self-sacrifice in the animal world. This research underlines the part that "incredible managerial skills" play in being a mother in nature. It's not all about altruism: "The example I always give is a hamster. If a hamster has too many babies she knows she cannot carry, she not only abandons them but she eats them. That means she doesn't have to go out and hunt for food for herself."
When I ask about her own mother, Rossellini seems a little startled. "Well, you know, it's hard to jump from a hamster to Ingrid Bergman." The leap from the maternal behaviour of rodents to that of one of the most glamorous stars in Hollywood history doesn't impress her. Nonetheless, she answers.
"She (Bergman) was rather an exception because she had a huge career in the Forties and Fifties when, of course, there were other actresses but it wasn't common for women to work," Rossellini reflects. "My mother acted because she wanted to act. She never saw that as a job. She always said, 'I am surprised that people wanted to pay me. I would pay them!'"
When Bergman appeared in Casablanca, she wasn't on close terms with her co-stars. "She had that funny line," her daughter recalls. "She said Humphrey Bogart didn't socialise much. He would retire to his trailer. 'I kissed him but I don't know him very well,'" Rossellini recalls Bergman saying.
Nor did her mother know how Casablanca would end. She used to pester the director Michael Curtiz, asking which man she was supposed to be in love with: "Humphrey Bogart or my husband?" Curtiz would reply unhelpfully, "We don't know yet." The script was still being revised even after filming had begun.
"It is actually the in-between that makes the film so great," Rossellini says of the uncertainty on set during the making of her mother's most famous movie. And, no, she doesn't mind too much being asked about it. "In a way, it's wonderful that there is a film that has become a bit like Beethoven's Ninth that everybody has seen. When I speak to very young people, they know my mother from Casablanca."
I ask how she reacted when she saw her mother's other films like Stromboli and Voyage To Italy, directed by her father Roberto Rossellini. Very raw, intense and disturbing dramas about troubled relationships, these were far removed from the escapism of Hollywood. When Ingrid Bergman left Hollywood to work with (and eventually marry) Rossellini, it caused a huge scandal and derailed her career. "It's as if a big actress nowadays, like Anne Hathaway, would go and make a film in Afghanistan," Bergman's daughter says.
Bergman wasn't allowed back to Hollywood for many years and became a persona non grata at the studios that once fawned over her. "It was tough. She couldn't see her first daughter from her first marriage for eight years because she wasn't allowed back to the States and the father didn't allow the daughter to travel to Europe. That was very painful. Of course, she loved making films and she had many friends – Hitchcock, Cary Grant etc. They came to Europe to visit her but it wasn't the same as continuing to work with her, which she would have liked."
In spite of Bergman's eventual "forgiveness" by Hollywood, the Oscar she won for Anastasia and the later films such as Indiscreet, Bergman never wanted to return to the US. "She got frightened of how America can turn and persecute you, so she remained in Europe where she felt, at that point, safer."
Rossellini's own childhood was more Stromboli than Warner Bros. "The first time I went to Hollywood, I was 25 years old. My background was mostly Italian." Her career is as varied as her background. She appears in independent movies. She is an author and model. She is active in wildlife conservation and is a champion of silent cinema – she is very involved in film preservation. Having just finished Mamas, she is now working on Bestiaire D'Amour, a dramatic monologue with she is co-writing with Luis Bunuel's old screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière. This is about "love among animals" and will be told in the same comical way as Green Porno and Mamas.
She had a second new film in Berlin this week, The Zig Zag Kid, an adaptation of Israeli novelist David Grossman's picaresque coming-of-age story. True to her usual screen image, Rossellini plays a femme fatale. The film is directed by young Belgian Vincent Bal.
Like her mother, Rossellini has always stayed in touch with her European roots. When Bal invited her to appear in The Zig Zag Kid, a modestly budgeted Dutch movie, she was happy to accept.
"I live in New York but I am always delighted to come to Europe because I am European and grew up here until I was 20. I am not only Italian, I am partly Swedish. When my parents divorced, I was three years old and went to live in Paris… when I am offered a film in Europe, I come with great enthusiasm!"
