Karuna - meaning Compassion
Karuna Foundation was set up in 2004 by Phil & Cathy Kiely. Its principal mission is to provide nutrition, care, education & development to the poorest of the poor in remote areas of Cambodia. Working alongside the local commune chief, village chiefs, pagoda monks and local carers Karuna embarked on the construction of the Karuna Children's Centre and became custodians to 60 of Varin's most needy. It built 2 dormitories, wash room facilities, classrooms, kitchen and dining areas, sports fields, vegetable gardens, a rice bank, employed Khmer (local) teachers to help the kids make a solid start in life in a community with no access to education. The children quickly became role models for their desperate community.
Within 2 years Karuna's teachers were asked to teach at the newly opened government school and before long over 500 children were enrolled.
Today the Varin Centre has been handed over to the monks to be used as a community centre and the original children are now completing their high school studies in Karuna's Siem Reap Centre or conducting vocational training courses.

Nice to have quick getaway during the day, enjoy onset of spring or biking during the summer. Scenic hiking trails, the lampposts and benches give an old world charming feel.
The close proximity to my accommodations made this a perfect place for an early morning walk. With only the sounds of nature about in the cool early morning, this was an ideal place to contemplate the coming day
I was lucky to have found Fish Creek Park almost as soon as I moved to Calgary. It truly is a treasure for the city. It has kilometres of paved and non-paved trails for walking, biking, and hiking. It really is easy to believe you're in a vast wilderness and not in the middle of a huge city. It is my go to place for wilderness excercise when I am not able to head to the mountains. It's a great place to spend a few hours or the whole day. I've been using it for 15+ years and I still haven't been to all the places in the park. It's a great place for family activities or a place to go alone and forget about the hussle and bussle of the city for awhile. I have been lucky enough to run into quite a bit of wildlife during my visits i.e. deer, beaver, ducks etc. While trail running one day I was swooped upon by a large bird that must have been protecting her nest. Ha! Unfortunately I notice quite a bit of garbage and dog poop bags along the trails. I usually bring a grocery bag and pick up what I can while walking. I guess that's the negative price when the park is accessible to a lot of people.
The park has lots of trails for bike riding; paved and gravelled for general riding as well as single track in the bush riding for the more serious riders.
Love this place. Great for walking/biking, with paved paths. There is a lake and a creek, tons of wildlife. Don't forget to head to The Ranch in the East end for some History, IceCream at the Bakery as well as the main restaurant located in a huge Heritage House for lunch and dinner. There are even picnic tables with BBQ pits along the creek. Dog friendly as well (on leash). Great place to spend the day!

Just when it appeared No. 22 Illinois had gone quiet, reserve guard Joseph Bertrand made some noise. The redshirt junior hit 3-pointers on consecutive possessions and scored every point in a 10-0 run to ignite the Illini to a 75-62 victory over Georgia Tech on Wednesday night in an ACC-Big Ten Challenge game. Illinois (8-0) rallied late behind Bertrand, whose one-man show lifted the Illini from a 58-54 deficit late in the second half. They finished the game on a 21-4 run over the final 7:15. ''Until you get to know him, Joe sometimes comes off like a quiet guy, but he's got some big-time energy,'' Illinois coach John Groce said. ''I very rarely will watch practice film or game film and say, `Bertrand isn't playing hard.''' Bertrand scored 12 of his 15 points in the second half as the surprising Illini kept up their early-season run. After missing his first season with a knee injury, Bertrand relied upon his athleticism to get to the basket and create scoring opportunities for h...

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Roberto Luongo made 25 saves to backstop the streaking Vancouver Canucks to a 2-1 win over the visiting Minnesota Wild.
Kevin Bieksa and Jannik Hansen supplied the goals for the Canucks, winners of six in a row.
"We're playing well defensively, our goalies are playing outstanding for us and our system is pretty good," said Vancouver forward Alexandre Burrows.
The Canucks also continued their home dominance of the Wild, who fell to 0-9-2 in their last 11 trips to Rogers Arena.
Devin Setoguchi scored a power-play goal for Minnesota, which had won two straight. Darcy Kuemper played well in his NHL debut, stopping 28-of-30 shots.
"Pretty nervous to start, real excited, almost a numb feeling. Once warmups started and started feeling a few pucks, you just try to treat it like another game," Kuemper said.
The Wild recalled Kuemper, 22, from Houston of the American Hockey League after Josh Harding, the scheduled starter, wasn't able to play because of symptoms related to his multiple sclerosis.
Bieksa staked the Canucks to a 1-0 lead on the power play in the first period. Zack Kassian flew by Zach Parise down the right-wing boards and centered a pass Bieksa hammered home at 11:33.
Hansen doubled Vancouver's advantage 9:03 into the second period. Mason Raymond won a board battle and dragged the puck between two Minnesota players before dishing to the left circle. Keith Ballard collected the pass and sent a cross-ice feed through the legs of a Wild player to an uncovered Hansen, who roofed a shot over Kuemper.
Setoguchi lit the lamp with 6:57 remaining in the middle stanza, but the Wild couldn't connect on another man advantage in the third period.
Luongo preserved the win by making 10 saves over the final 20 minutes.
Luongo had blanked the Wild in each of his previous three starts, all in
Vancouver ... Setoguchi's goal was his 200th career point.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.

Charles Romano officiating and Deacon Bill Powers assisting. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Roberts of Columbus. She is the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J.P.T. Roberts Jr. and the late Mr. and Mrs. D.J. DuBose. The bride was given in marriage by her father. Attending the bride as matrons of honor were Melissa Tullos of Jackson, sister of the bride, and Emily Lightfood of New York, N.Y. Bridesmaids were Jenny Ploughman and Tanya Fazal of New York; Jessica Vanacoro of Carmel, N.Y., sister of the groom, and Lauren Williams of Coram. Junior bridesmaids were Caitlin Powers of Long Beach, N.Y., Kelly Powers and Molly Powers, both of New York and cousins of the groom. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Benedict of Coram. He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Powers of Port Jefferson Station, and Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Benedict of Coram. Christopher Benedict of Coram, brother of the groom, served as best man. Groomsmen were Evan Maggio of Orlando, Fla., Paul De Narnd of Putnam Valley, N.Y., Matt Vanacoro of Carmel, N.Y., Daryl Ray Carliles, Rob Hinderliter and Anthony Johnson, all of New York. The bride is currently employed as an afternoon host for a country radio station with LI Communications. The groom is employed with Apple Computers in sales. Following a wedding trip to St. Martins Island, the couple resides in Port Jefferson Station.

It is a beautiful species which tends to flower rather early for a pedicellate trillium. It occurs in several widely disjunct populations west from eastern Maryland to the Ozarks of Missouri, south to western Texas and then back east through Alabama and Georgia into S Carolina. It is always very charming, dwarf (3" - 12") and has an upwards facing white flower. The flower often has ruffled margins and, in the manner of Trillium grandiflorum, fades to rose pink as it ages. The foliage of some forms is almost purple in color until it matures to deeper green. In the wild it is frequently found in seasonally boggy or even swampy areas, but does not require such conditons in cultivation.

FULL OF EMPTINESS Lyrics
Artist: Donna Summer
Album: Love To Love You Baby
Full of emptiness
broken promises
and love turned out so sad
the hurt goes on and on
Full of emptiness
hello loneliness
good friends will mind
the sands of time
have slipped through my hands
From the bottom to the top
why he had me feeling fine
then I took a long long drop
when he walked out of my life
my world
Full of emptiness
that and something less
and memories of him
have never seemed to be

For years I've wondered which country Liliadent Krauser is from.
Welcome to a new edition of Inui's Notes. Today I would like to talk about the middle schoolers that were selected as Japan reps a few months ago back in New Prince of Tennis 131. Back when the chapter first came out I've seen a lot of people think that the selection doesn't follow any pattern at all, but I feel like there is some logic to it.
Hello everyone, this is Kaoz with a new edition of Inui's Notes. Some of you might remember that quite a while ago (in Shin Prince of Tennis Chapter 34), Kirihara showed off two new abilities, Angel Mode and Sane Devil Mode. Since then, there has always been some confusion about how they work and what they do, so I hope this post makes it a bit more clear.
Please note that the majority of what I am about to write was taken from Pair Puri 6 (unfortunately the respective pages have never been fully translated).
Read the rest of this entry »
Welcome to Inui's Notes
A series in which I talk about various aspects of Shin Prince of Tennis, such as techniques, strategies or players.
As you might have noticed, I didn't post anything in the past few weeks (not that I updated regularly before, but oh well), mostly because translating the chapters into German is kinda useless and I didn't really enjoy doing the review either. So, in the end I figured I might just as well talk a bit about the recent chapters and see how that goes.
Note: The following contains spoilers if you have not yet read Shin Prince of Tennis up to chapter 58.
Alright, so I want to talk a bit about the newly introduced High Schoolers, No. 11-20 of the 1st String and how I think the current matches will play out.

- Newest File: The Bridge v106Z
A huge bridge in a small world, bare bone base recommended for players starting a fresh new character. Fill it with the desired furniture and decorate the interiors. Many empty rooms could be found throughout the base.
Now updated with Zero from Megaman X Series! Please see file "The Bridge v106Z" for the version with Zero.
As for furnitures, you will only find 1 table, chair, furnace, some empty chests and basic lightings placed, nothing more. NO boss has being triggered/summoned/defeated. Only your favourite npc, "Guide" has arrived.
World is generated on version v1.0.6, small sized.
Extra care has being taken to prevent damage/changes to the generated world. It is mostly untouched, apart from the work done on the very surface to accomodate the base. (no loot taken/deposited) ..ok i broke one clay vase in the process, chopped some trees, set off a few dynamites, planted a jungle pool just beside the base.. thats all!
Alternative thread on TerrariaOnline: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/the-bridge-v106.53708/
2nd Release. Now with Zero from Megaman X series. Please see screenshot.
To install, locate and extract the file "worldX.wld" from the zipped folder. Replace the "X" of the filename with number (ie 1, 2 or 3 etc) eg, if you have 3 existing worlds, you may rename "worldX.wld" to "world4.wld" so that it would appear as the 4th world in-game. The file should be dumped into "C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds".

Consistent Medicare funding is especially important at a time when states are struggling to balance their budgets, and many states are taking steps to cut Medicaid, a trend likely to accelerate if the President's proposed cutbacks in Medicaid funding also are adopted. "Since Medicare funds help ensure adequate resources are available to support Medicaid patients in nursing homes," Rosenbloom expressed concern that "the combined impact of Medicare and Medicaid cuts could be especially devastating to the nation's poorest nursing home patients."
Rosenbloom said the Alliance will make a concerted educational effort throughout to year to explain to policymakers on Capitol Hill and executive agencies why excluding Medicaid margins in formulating Medicare funding policy skews the perception of economic reality in a manner harmful to seniors and their growing complex care needs, as well as to the direct care workers who serve them.

Gene-gene interaction in genetic association studies is computationally intensive when a large number of SNPs are involved. Most of the latest Central Processing Units (CPUs) have multiple cores, whereas Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) also have hundreds of cores and have been recently used to implement faster scientific software. However, currently there are no genetic analysis software packages that allow users to fully utilize the computing power of these multi-core devices for genetic interaction analysis for binary traits.
Here we present a novel software package GENIE, which utilizes the power of multiple GPU or CPU processor cores to parallelize the interaction analysis. GENIE reads an entire genetic association study dataset into memory and partitions the dataset into fragments with non-overlapping sets of SNPs. For each fragment, GENIE analyzes: 1) the interaction of SNPs within it in parallel, and 2) the interaction between the SNPs of the current fragment and other fragments in parallel. We tested GENIE on a large-scale candidate gene study on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Using an NVIDIA Tesla C1060 graphics card, the GPU mode of GENIE achieves a speedup of 27 times over its single-core CPU mode run.
GENIE is open-source, economical, user-friendly, and scalable. Since the computing power and memory capacity of graphics cards are increasing rapidly while their cost is going down, we anticipate that GENIE will achieve greater speedups with faster GPU cards. Documentation, source code, and precompiled binaries can be downloaded from http://www.cceb.upenn.edu/~mli/software/GENIE/ webcite.
The advent of high-throughput genotyping technologies has made it possible to study human genetic variation on a genome-wide scale. Recent years have seen an explosion of results generated from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Most GWAS focus on single marker-based analysis in which each marker is analyzed individually, ignoring the dependence or interactions between markers. Although this approach has led to the discovery of disease susceptibility genes for many diseases, the identified markers often only explain a small fraction of the phenotypic variation, suggesting a large number of disease variants are yet to be discovered. It is becoming increasingly evident that gene-gene interactions play an important role in the etiology of complex diseases and traits [1-3], and likely explain some fraction of the "missing heritability". Gene-gene interaction is often studied using a regression framework in which a pair of SNPs and their interaction terms are included as predictors. The drawback of such analysis is that the number of tests will be extremely large. For example, in the case of a GWAS with 500,000 SNPs the number of SNP pairs to be studied amounts to ~125 billion. The running time quickly becomes an issue due to the large number of pairs.
However, gene-gene interaction analysis is parallelizable in nature. Most of the current Central Processor Units (CPUs) have multiple cores. Parallel computing until recently meant using a computing cluster having multiple nodes with multi-core CPUs. The costs of building a computing cluster may run in hundreds of thousands of dollars, making it cost prohibitive. An emerging economic scientific computing paradigm is to use Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) that are present in graphic cards of most desktop computers or workstations for general purpose computing. A GPU is a processing unit that was traditionally used for accelerating graphical operations. The power of GPUs has been used to implement faster software solutions for biological problems [4-8]. For example, Schupbach et al. [8] developed a GPU-based software package that greatly speeds up gene-gene interaction analysis of quantitative traits.
A typical graphics card has several processors as well as its own dedicated memory. We will be using the term "device memory" to refer to the built-in memory of the graphics card in the rest of this paper. Several vendors of graphics cards offer architectures and programming tools that enable GPU-based general purpose computing using high level programming language extensions. NVIDIA Common Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is an example of a graphics card architecture for parallel general purpose computing. CUDA follows the Single Instruction Multiple Thread (SIMT) architecture that is similar to the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture of parallel computing. In the case of CUDA, this means that multiple threads on the same instructions are executed simultaneously on different data. Programmers can exploit the CUDA architecture with relative ease to solve larger problems that can be decomposed into several sub-problems that can be solved in parallel. The computing power offered by the latest graphic cards is comparable to that of a computing cluster with hundreds of CPUs, but the GPU programming approach for parallel computing is much cheaper than using a traditional computing cluster.
CUDA compatible graphics cards have several processors that are also known as multiprocessors (MP) that in turn have several stream/thread processors (SP) known as cores (Figure 1). CUDA arranges threads in grids and blocks. A block is a collection of threads, while a grid is a collection of blocks. CUDA allows the sizes of the blocks and grids to be manipulated programmatically. There is a limit to the maximum number of threads that can be present in a block. This limitation exists because a block has to reside on a single MP and share that MP's resources. On a Tesla C1060 the maximum number of threads per block is 512. We use the term CUDA thread or GPU thread interchangeably in this paper.
Figure 1. NVIDIA GPU Architecture. Simplified GPU Architecture: The grey rectangles of thread blocks are for illustration purposes and are not a physical part of the architecture. MP = Multi Processor, SM = Shared Memory, SFU = Special Functions Unit, IU = Instruction Unit, SP = Streaming processor (core).
CUDA provides a new scalable parallel programming model along with an instruction set. CUDA also provides several levels of abstraction in terms of threads and memory hierarchies. Such abstractions help CUDA provide data parallelism and thread parallelism. Programmers are exposed to these abstractions in the form of API. Figure 2 shows the CUDA memory and thread hierarchies. A kernel is a C function that is executed by several GPU threads in parallel. A program exploiting the power of GPUs generally has portions of code that runs on the CPU as well as calls to kernels that run on the GPU cores. The CUDA runtime system is aware of the system details of the CUDA capable graphics card such as the number of MPs and cores. The runtime system schedules a thread block to be executed on the next available MP. The parallel threads in a block are executed by the assigned MP in groups of 32 known as warps. Thread blocks can be scheduled to execute independent of each other over any number of GPU cores. Each CUDA thread has local memory that is limited to 16 KB in case of a C1060 graphics card. As shown in Figure 2, global memory is accessible by every thread. Each block of threads has access to a shared memory.
Figure 2. CUDA Thread and Memory Hierarchy. The dashed rectangle at the top half of the diagram shows the CUDA thread hierarchy while the large rectangle in the lower half shows the hierarchy of memory spaces in a CUDA device. T0 to T32 represent the threads contained in a warp. The current version of GENIE uses the global and local memory spaces that are represented by the orange and aqua colored boxes respectively.
Currently, there are no software packages that directly address the gene-gene interaction analysis problem for binary traits. Moreover, there are no gene-gene interaction analysis software packages that use multiple processor cores present in CPUs or GPU cards. Our software package, GENIE, utilizes multiple cores to parallelize gene-gene interaction analysis. As we show in the Results, GENIE achieves ~27 times speedup over a single-core CPU, and making large-scale gene-gene interaction analysis feasible even on a desktop computer.
Development environment
GENIE was implemented using C language and CUDA C language extension. It was developed on a Dell Precision T7500 Windows XP workstation that has 4 GB of main memory, a quad-core 2.13 GHz Intel Xeon processor, an NVIDIA Quadro FX1800 graphics card, and an NVIDIA Tesla C1060 graphics card with 4 GB of device memory. The NVIDIA C1060 card has 30 MPs and 240 cores. It has a CUDA compute capability of 1.3. We used CUDA toolkit version 3.1 and MS Visual C++ 2008 to compile the program under windows. To run GENIE, we used the NVIDIA Tesla C1060 card, whereas the Quadro FX1800 card was used only for display purposes.
Data Pre-processing
GENIE assumes the input genetic association study files contain case/control data with genotypes encoded under an additive model. Users can use the data converter tool that is a part of the GENIE software package to convert their data files to GENIE format. GENIE documentation includes detailed instructions and step-by-step examples that illustrate this process.
Logistic Regression
The interaction between a pair of SNPs is tested using a logistic regression framework in which the SNP genotypes and their interaction terms are included as predictors. The model is expressed as the following:
where Y (1: case; 0: control) is the disease status, and gj (= 0, 1, and 2) is the genotype score that counts the number of minor alleles at SNP j. Interaction between the two SNPs is assessed by testing H0: β12 = 0 using a likelihood ratio test, which is asymptotically distributed as Chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom. We note that this interaction test is implemented PLINK (http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/purcell/plink/ webcite) [9], a popular software package for whole-genome data analysis. PLINK analyzes one SNP pair at a time despite that the analysis of all SNP pairs are parallelizable in nature.
Parallelization Algorithm
We propose to parallelize the interaction analysis of different SNP pairs. Specifically, the GENIE algorithm partitions the input dataset into equally sized non-overlapping fragments with up to S SNPs each. This gives GENIE the ability to handle large datasets and maintain a small memory footprint in terms of output variables. We refer to S as the fragment size. As mentioned earlier, the interaction between a pair of SNPs is tested using a logistic regression framework. We briefly describe the algorithm below:
1) Read the genetic association study data file. Let fragment size S be a non-zero integer.
2) Partition the data into non-overlapping fragments containing of S SNPs each. Let us assume that the fragments are numbered from 1 to F, where F is the total number of fragments. The partitioning of data is done in memory and no physical files need to be generated.
3) For each fragment i, where 1≤ i ≤ F:
a. Test the interaction of S(S -1)/2 SNP pairs within fragment i in parallel.
b. For each of the other fragment j >i, test the interaction of S2 SNP pairs across fragment i and fragment j in parallel.
c. Output only those results that meet a prespecified P-value threshold.
The fragment size S translates to the maximum x or y dimension of a thread block, which is 512 for cards with a compute capability of less than 2.0. As mentioned earlier, the size of a full warp is 32. We follow NVIDIA's performance recommendations [10,11] and recommend that S must be a non-zero integer multiple of 32 that is less than or equal to 512.
The interaction analysis for each SNP pair is run on a separate GPU thread. The GPU kernel function of GENIE implements logistic regression. We modified PLINK's Newton's algorithm to fit the logistic regression model in (1). Specifically, we unrolled loops in the CUDA kernel. CUDA single precision floating point fast math functions were used in the CUDA kernel implementation. Due to the size of the input dataset, the current implementation of the GENIE algorithm makes use of local and global memory spaces. The input dataset as well as the intermediate output are stored in the global memory. We do not utilize any constant memory, shared memory, and texture memory spaces of the GPU device. We minimize the local memory utilization of the interaction analysis module/kernel to facilitate parallelization. Each GPU thread utilizes a maximum of 16 KB of the local memory. We use a single grid of two dimensional thread blocks. We enabled compiler code optimization. In order to reduce memory latency, we restrict the number of data transfers between main and device memories. Initially, GENIE reads the entire dataset into the main memory of the computer and then transfers it to the global memory space of the device memory. Intermediate results are periodically transferred from the global memory space of the device memory to the main memory of the workstation and then written to the output file. We also reduced the number of registers that are used by each kernel using the -maxrregcount compiler option in order to improve the CUDA utilization/occupancy.
Due to CUDA local memory limitations of the NVIDIA Tesla C1060 card, we set the maximum number of individuals in a genetic association studies to 4,000, but this number can be increased for cards with larger local memory. When the total number of SNPs is not a multiple of S, the last fragment has less than S total SNPs in it. In this case, we pad the rest of the fragment with missing values to maintain a fragment size of S.
The algorithm presented above can be easily extended to support multiple CPU cores. We implemented a simple serial single threaded version of the GENIE algorithm. We support multiple-cores using a script that first splits the input dataset into as many parts as there are cores. It then invokes a separate run of single threaded GENIE on each separate subset or part of the dataset.
Software Capabilities
The current version of GENIE is a command line program and has a number of user input options. GENIE can be run in a GPU mode or in a CPU mode. The GENIE software package includes a GENIE executable, a data converter utility executable, and a script file. Multiple GPU cards, GPU clusters, multi-core CPUs, and CPU clusters are supported using the script file. This enables GENIE to handle datasets generated from larger genetic association studies in a scalable fashion. In the GPU mode, the interaction analysis is carried out using a CUDA compatible graphics card. If a machine has several GPU cards, GENIE allows users to choose a card that will be used to run the analysis. The script file can be used to distribute the analysis task across multiple GPU cards.
In the CPU mode, the interaction analysis is carried out using a single processor core. If a machine has a multi-core CPU, the script file provided with GENIE package can be used to distribute the analysis task across multiple cores. Currently, the script distributes fragments among several separate parallel runs of a single threaded GENIE implementation for CPUs.
Data from the University of Pennsylvania High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) Study was used to test GENIE. In this study, subjects of European ancestry with HDL-C > 90th percentile for age and gender were considered as cases and subjects with HDL-C < 30th percentile for age and gender were considered as controls. 625 cases and 606 controls were genotyped using the IBC 50K SNP array [12]. We extracted 23,470 SNPs that had a Minor Allele Frequency (MAF) greater than 0.15 for interaction analysis.
We tested GENIE on the same workstation that was used for its development. A fragment size of 256 was used during testing. Figure 3 shows the screenshot of a sample run of GENIE. We call the CPU mode runs of GENIE as CPU-GENIE and the GPU mode runs of GENIE as GPU-GENIE for comparison purposes. Speedup was calculated as the ratio of total time taken by the interaction module of CPU-GENIE and the total time taken by the interaction module of GPU-GENIE. The CPU-GENIE script was used to run CPU-GENIE using all four CPU cores. In this case, the script distributed fragments among four separate parallel runs of a single threaded CPU-GENIE implementation. The total time taken by CPU-GENIE with a single core was calculated as a sum of the execution times for each of the four CPU-GENIE runs. Figure 4 shows the execution times of CPU-GENIE and GPU-GENIE. It took CPU-GENIE 458 hours to analyze the HDL-C dataset using a single Intel Xeon CPU core and 115 hours using all four Intel Xeon CPU cores. In contrast, GPU-GENIE achieves a speedup of almost 27 over the single CPU core run of CPU-GENIE and finishes the analysis in around 17 hours. To match the performance of GPU-GENIE, CPU-GENIE requires a CPU cluster with at least 27 processor cores.
Figure 3. Screenshot of a test run of GENIE
Figure 4. GENIE execution time on the HDL study dataset. GPU-GENIE achieves a speedup of 6.7 fold over CPU-GENIE using 4 Intel Xeon cores and 26.7 fold over CPU-GENIE using a single Intel Xeon core.
The GENIE output file contains 148,590 pairs that satisfy the MAF threshold of 0.15 and P-value threshold of 0.001. Table 1 shows a subset of the GENIE interaction analysis results. Interestingly, all SNP pairs with P-value < 10-9 involve rs1864163, a SNP in gene CETP that encodes for cholesteryl ester transfer protein. It is well known that CETP promotes the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to low-density lipoprotein, and individuals that are genetically deficient for CETP often have extremely high HDL levels. Various genetics studies have shown that CETP SNPs are significantly associated with HDL-C level. In our analysis, we found that CETP may also interact with other genes in regulating the level of HDL-C.

Recognizing the ongoing debate regarding using GPUs vs. CPUs for general purpose computing [13], we have developed a software package for genetic interaction analysis that takes advantage of multiple cores present in GPU cards and multi-core CPUs. Clusters containing nodes with multiple CUDA based graphics cards are also available for GPU computing purposes. Although we presented our results only for one GPU card, GENIE can easily handle multiple GPU cards and GPU clusters using a script included with the GENIE package. This is possible because GENIE works on partitions of a genetic association study dataset in a decoupled fashion.
The GENIE source code is optimized for the underlying GPU card and CPU. GENIE was implemented by following the NVIDIA CUDA C best programming practices [10]. To make it easily parallelizable, we also minimized the amount of local memory used by the interaction analysis module. As documented by several CUDA publications [10,11,14], CUDA implementations perform better when all the cores are utilized. Underutilization of the cores can make CUDA implementations perform significantly worse than serial CPU based implementations [10,11,13].
The speedup achieved by the GPU mode of GENIE over its CPU implementation depends on the power of the graphics card and the fragment size S. Figure 5 shows the effect of various fragment sizes on the speedup. The optimal value of the fragment size S can vary depending upon the graphics card that is used to run GENIE. The GPU computing field is growing rapidly. Faster and cheaper cards are being frequently released. NVIDIA recently released a faster CUDA based architecture called Fermi. The NVIDIA Tesla C2050 is an example of a Fermi based graphics card. A higher GPU mode speedup can be achieved by making use of the latest GPU computing capable graphics cards.
Figure 5. A study of the effect of fragment size (S) on GPU-GENIE's speedup for the HDL study dataset. Fragment size has an effect on the amount of speedup that is achieved by GPU-GENIE over CPU-GENIE. The largest speedup is attained for S = 512. As mentioned earlier, these experiments were carried out using a quad core Intel Xeon processor and an NVIDIA C1060 graphics card.
The NVIDIA Tesla C1060 card that was provided by Dell with our workstation cost us $1,700, but it can be purchased online for a significantly cheaper price. The total cost of the workstation was $3,500. A CPU cluster with at least 27 processor cores is needed to match GPU-GENIE's performance. If each machine has a quad-core processor and costs $3,000, a CPU cluster based solution would cost at least $21,000. Thus, GPU computing offers an economical solution to computationally intensive problems.
Future work will involve utilizing Message Passing Interface (MPI) to make GENIE's support of multiple graphics cards, GPU computing clusters, multi-core CPUs and CPU clusters more efficient. Since CUDA code can be easily ported to OpenCL using OpenCL translators such as Swan [15], we plan to use OpenCL to implement a graphics card vendor independent implementation of GENIE. We also plan to implement a webserver version of GENIE.
GENIE is user friendly and is scalable and can handle large datasets as long as they fit the memory of the graphics card. As GPU cards with bigger memory capacities are entering the market at ever cheaper prices, it is now possible to analyze entire GWAS datasets economically with GENIE. An advantage of running GENIE in GPU mode is that a bulk of the computation is handled by the GPUs and the CPU is free to be utilized by other programs. Although GENIE was originally developed for GPU card, we have provided script that allows the users to run GENIE using CPUs. If the users do not have access to a GPU card, but have access to a CPU cluster, GENIE can still be easily used to perform interaction analysis.
Availability and requirements
GENIE is implemented using C and NVIDIA Common Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) C extension. The current version of GENIE is built for the windows operating system. GENIE needs to be recompiled to run on Unix and Linux. We recommend that users run GENIE on a CUDA compatible graphics card such as NVIDIA Tesla C1060 or better. NVIDIA recommends using a dedicated graphics card to perform GPU based computing, which means that all display related activities must be carried out using an additional graphics card.

Mmmm, you migh be asking, have I gone totaly wako, well no, think abut it, Scifi writers have the one thing we lack ,a place to try out new ideas without getting into to much trouble, there minds are trained to invent and provide fr the story plot, physics rarely gets in the way, they creat as required, of sometimes the things they invent become reality in time, Joules Vern an example in kind. But why do I bring this up, well for years my job, or part of it, was to dream up new products, see if there was a possible chance to develop it, nurture it, and bring it some where near the market, trial it, and give it to the marketeers to put out. Some days, I would just sit at a keyboard and write, garbgae, , then go back and refine it, sometimes there was a product in there, often there was not, some times I would read a book, or see a film, out would come my mole skin and the early thooguhts on a product would come out. I have loads of moleskins just packed with ideas, some will remain there, some I think, what the hell, some I copy and ut into my latest moleskin to see if its worth developing.
You migh be wondering where CPD is in all this, well it's there, because without constant reading, expoloring, or just plain old networking, ideas have nor food to develop.
Inventing is not something that can be taught, its something that develops over time, its for the brave, because the week will be told not to waste there time.

Beautiful, trendy and comfy wedges!
By Elodie
from Longueuil, Québec
Just bought at a very Good Price the last 6,5 in cognac. As I have a tanned skin, they are my "nude" alternative. They are true to size for me.There is a comfortable insole, soft leather on the inside where the toes are so you won't hurt your toes rubbing. But what I love the most is the overall look obtained by mixing the different materials used. They look rich! Will have a GREAT time wearing them this summer!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
If the Oslo carnage in Israel continues at its current pace, the number of Israelis murdered since the signing of the Rabin-Arafat 'Peace Accord' in 1993 soon will be larger – when measured as proportional to population size – than the total losses by the United States in the Vietnam War.
Let me repeat that. Israel's mindless politicians will have produced a death rate that exceeds the losses of the United States in Vietnam when measured as proportional to population size. With the obvious difference that almost all Americans who died in Vietnam were military personnel killed in combat, whereas almost all Israelis murdered by Oslo since 1993 were civilians sitting on buses and in cafes, and a huge number were children. This is the 'peace process' produced by the Cult of Oslo.
I believe that one of the most harmful aspects of the Oslo psychosis has been the convincing of Israelis of the fallacious doctrine of inevitability. The argument goes something like this: Everything that has occurred until now and that likely will occur soon, down to and including Palestinian statehood, was always inevitable. It was pre-ordained and predetermined. Israel never had any alternative to Oslo and has none today. Israel has no choice now but to seek dialogue and negotiations with the PLO.
The Six Day War made the first intifada inevitable, or so this argument goes, and that made Oslo inevitable, and that made Palestinian statehood and Israel returning to the 1949 borders inevitable. The first Camp David of Menachem Begin made Palestinian violence and 'liberation' inevitable, leading to the inevitable second Camp David.
But is it true that Israel never had any choices, that everything was inevitable? Is it true that Israel today has no choice but to continue Oslo?
The simple truth is that not only was it not inevitable, but Israeli policy always had a clear and successful role model it might have followed to defend itself and bring about peace.
That role model was denazification. The denazification programs applied by the Americans and Allies to Germany, Italy and Japan. Israel could have adopted the main features of denazification starting in 1967 (and maybe earlier among Green Line Arabs), with its own innovations and adaptations as needed.
How would denazification of the Palestinians work?
First, after restoring complete Israeli martial rule over the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip, those Palestinians who were involved in suicide bombings and similar atrocities at any level (including planning and financing), would be quietly taken away and properly disposed of.
Other members of terrorist organizations would be jailed without trial for indefinite periods or deported. The political leadership of the PLO and Hamas would be tried as war criminals and as enemies of humanity in Nuremberg-like trials and executed. Israel would make it clear that terrorism is war and not civil crime.
Second, democratic institutions would be imposed upon the populations of the West Bank and Gaza ruthlessly, without niceties and regardless of their acquiescence. The Palestinian schools would be managed directly by Israel, which would dictate the curriculum and oversee informers to weed out radicals among teachers and students. Ditto for the Palestinian mosques and churches. The Temple Mount would be controlled by Jews and Israel; the control over its mosques would be granted to Turkey.
The territories would be under permanent martial law with no apologies. They would be closed to Israeli and foreign journalists. Reporters entering these areas would be arrested and deported — and risk being shot by snipers overseeing the tranquility of the streets.
The media would be closely monitored, and the slightest hint of approval for Palestinian terrorism and violence would be grounds for immediate loss of press credentials and confiscation of equipment; for foreign correspondents the penalty would be swift deportation.
Every Palestinian teacher and public servant would be required to take loyalty oaths on sacred books, swearing to oppose violence and inform on terrorists and acknowledging the legitimacy both of Israel's existence and its martial rule in the territories – all in writing and filmed signing. Those who will not sign will not work.
Israel would then prepare two lists – the White List and the Black List. On the White List would be names of people, families, clans, villages and towns who are entitled to privileges.
The privileges would include simple mobility around the territories (as opposed to indefinite house arrest); the right to day jobs in Israel, to electricity, water, sewer service, phone service; the right to have a bank account; and the right to vote in local elections for municipal representatives.
A White List political organization would be set up, based somewhat on the Northern Alliance set up by the United States to govern Afghanistan. It would be a political puppet controlled by Israel, not an independent Palestinian political entity, although its members would enjoy certain privileges.
The Black List would consist of those who are entitled to none of the above. Any act of violence would place the entire extended family of the perpetrator on the Black List indefinitely, whether or not the perpetrator had been killed. The slightest act of violence in a town or village would put the entire village on the Black List. The involvement of a person in any sort of terrorist activity, including expression of verbal support for violence, would put that person's family on the Black List.
Black List members would be offered no alternatives for employment and sustenance. They would be provided with bread and water. Their only privilege would be the right to emigrate.
White List members would stay on the list only if they collaborated with Israel and informed on those Palestinians planning and perpetuating violence. Families whose children throw rocks or curse soldiers would be Black-listed. The lands and property of the extended families of those involved in terrorist violence would be confiscated with no trial, only with a martial hearing or military tribunal. Israel would announce officially and make it clear that should any Palestinian minors be injured or killed while throwing rocks at Jews, Israel would regard their own parents as morally and legally liable for the injuries.
Anyone on the Black List would be permanently curfewed and prohibited from moving about freely, unless it would be to emigrate. No reporters of any sort would be permitted in the areas under martial law. Palestinian sympathizers with terrorist organizations would disappear off the streets in the night, with no explanations offered by Israel. Capital punishment would be applied broadly and readily.
Those on the White List could run for local municipal office. They would need to swear a loyalty oath to non-violence and to the legitimacy of Zionism. They would be monitored. They could speak freely about municipal affairs. The slightest comment suggesting support for violence or questioning the legitimacy of Israel or Israeli martial law would move the elected person to the Black List and result in the forfeit of all municipal powers.
Municipalities that failed to elect White Listers would be shut down and prohibited from providing any municipal services. No schools, no street lights, no garbage collection, no water.
There would be no habeas corpus or 'due process' in the territories. The extended families of those engaged in terrorist organizations and activities outside Israel would be black-listed or expelled, with property confiscated.
Of course none of the above is democratic. Neither was the American administration of Japan and Germany. It is not supposed to be liberal; it is supposed to root out fascism violently and forcefully. It is supposed to save Jewish lives.
As democratic institutions imposed upon the Palestinians take root and acquire legitimacy, martial law might be selectively relaxed by Israel in the future. But it would all depend on the Palestinians and their behavior. It will take as long as it takes. The Americans occupied Okinawa for 35 years.
Over time, the Palestinians would be denazified, just as the Germans were. Like them, the Palestinians could gradually be granted limited autonomy in a permanently demilitarized fashion, with no possibility of establishing diplomatic or other relations with non-democratic Arab powers.
Sovereignty would be out of the question and demanding it would move the person to the Black List. Pressures would be put on black-listed families and towns, where emigration is their main viable alternative.
White List membership could be offered to those who join Israel-led and controlled Palestinian militias, or who serve Israel militarily. These militias would be utilized to kill terrorists and suppress Palestinian fascism, somewhat like the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.
Only White-Listed people would serve on public bodies controlling Waqf lands or operating the mosques.
Yes, all the above is mere fantasy today. But sooner or later, this is what Israel will do because there is no other alternative.
