Plot Summary:
Christmastime is looking swell for pretty, unassuming real-estate-agent Suzanne Barrington: she just sold a house to a nice swinger couple; her weatherman husband Jeff scored a sweet new job; and her favorite holiday is quickly approaching. After a sudden tragedy takes Jeff away, Suzanne is left lost and lonely. Even worse, a friend of his confesses a secret: there's another woman. Her name's Fantasia and she works at the "girl club." In their grief, the two women form an awkward but meaningful friendship. Pushing away the ghosts of Christmas present, Suzanne falls into Fantasia's world of dance parties, shoplifting and substances. But maybe that's not what Suzanne's looking for either...

Ray tracing a volume scene graph composed of multiple point-based volume objects (PBVO) can produce high quality images with effects such as shadows and constructive operations. A naive approach, however, would demand an overwhelming amount of memory to accommodate all point datasets and their associated control structures such as octrees. This paper describes an out-of-core approach for rendering such a scene graph in a scalable manner. In order to address the difficulty in pre-determining the order of data caching, we introduce a technique based on a dynamic, in-core working set. We present a ray-driven algorithm for predicting the working set automatically. This allows both the data and the control structures required for ray tracing to be dynamically pre-fetched according to access patterns determined based on captured knowledge of ray-data intersection. We have conducted a series of experiments on the scalability of the technique using working sets and datasets of different sizes. With the aid of both qualitative and quantitative analysis, we demonstrate that this approach allows the rendering of multiple large PBVOs in a volume scene graph to be performed on desktop computers.

It's no secret that singing is a pretty good time, so why should recording artists and pop stars have all the fun? The answer, of course, is that they shouldn't! With karaoke systems, everybody can enjoy singing along to their favorite tunes. And whether you plan to plug in the karaoke machine to liven up your next house party or simply to use it by yourself to indulge your musical side in private, the right gear to make it happen is waiting for you in this section. There are even professional-level karaoke machines to choose from, so if you're a venue manager getting your place ready for its first karaoke night, you can find what you need.
Looking for a karaoke system that can go just about anywhere? If so, check out The Singing Machine SML343 Karaoke System. It's powerful enough for a house party, but small enough that you can pick it up and take it along if the party moves - there's even a carrying handle, and it can connect to any TV to display the lyrics. Another great suggestion for use at home would be the Singtrix Party Bundle Home Karaoke System, which fits all its components on a single microphone stand. Looking for a way to take full advantage of karaoke apps on your smartphone or tablet? The VocoPro TabletOKE has you covered, with easy connection to your device via Bluetooth. You could even take the minimalist approach with an in-mic unit like the VocoPro All-U Karaoke FM Mic for Android & iOS. The choice is yours to make!
Would a professional-quality system be more your style? The VocoPro JamCube Mini PA System is a good starting point, and if you need a bigger and more powerful (but still portable) all-in-one karaoke machine, there are larger options from VocoPro such as the Gigstar II, HERO-REC, HERO-REC VHF and HERO-REC UHF. Want to connect directly to your bar, restaurant or club's sound system for the best possible karaoke experience? In that case, you're probably looking for the RSQ K-2N Dual Tray Karaoke Player. Prefer something more compact? There's another RSQ for that: the HSK-202 Microphone Karaoke Player, which is perfect for mobile KJ and DJ setups.
No matter what sort of equipment layout you want to use, there are karaoke systems designed to handle it. From professional nightclub karaoke night setups to casual house party situations, it's all fair game - and the perfect gear to make it happen is waiting for you somewhere in this section. Finding your karaoke machine is the easy part; the hard part is mustering the courage to sing in front of your friends, and you're on your own for that!

The president has named Katherine Archuleta to replace former OPM Director John Berry, who stepped down in April.
President Obama has tapped Katherine Archuleta to head the Office of Personnel Management, succeeding John Berry who left the agency in April.
Archuleta was national political director for the president's reelection campaign and chief of staff at the Department of Labor. Her resume also includes stints as a senior policy advisor to the city of Denver and executive director of the National Hispanic Cultural Center.
If confirmed, she will be the first Hispanic woman to head OPM.
"Katherine brings to the Office of Personnel Management broad experience and a deep commitment to recruiting and retaining a world-class workforce for the American people. I am grateful Katherine has agreed to serve, and I look forward to working with her in the coming years," Obama said in a statement.
The nomination comes as OPM is facing criticism from some in Congress for a backlog in processing retirement claims, and as the agency deals with managing the details of federal employee furloughs under sequestration. OPM is in the midst of revising its own workforce management strategies, including testing a new data-driven system for evaluating its own human resources efforts called HRStat. Additionally, OPM is at the center of an effort to insure that there is pay equity between men and women working for the federal government.

Quote 1: "Archuleta was national political director for the president's reelection campaign" This sounds a lot like what to expect frrom this administration - primary qualification is politics. Quote 2: "OPM is at the center of an effort to insure that there is pay equity between men and women working for the federal government." Sounds like more politics. They have been working the "pay equity" issue for decades to where it seems like the only reason we have this agenda still going on is to keep a few extra Feds employed to look at this issue that is generally gone except in the minds of those who use it as a polical issue. Differences in pay are now primarily due to personal choices and surveys showing gender based differences tend to leave out that part of the equation when they want to indicate that the problem is still prevalent. Again, politics at work - as well as wasted tax dollars.

MT. VERNON, Ga. ----- Senior Cesar Kestring scored twice to lead the No. 13 Auburn Montgomery men's soccer team to its fifth straight win and a 4-2 victory at Brewton-Parker on Friday.
With the win, the Warhawks improved to 7-4 on the season and remained undefeated in league play at 4-0. The Barons fell to 3-8 overall and 0-5 in conference games.
AUM never trailed in the match against the Barons, taking its first lead in the fifth minute on a goal by sophomore Alan Harwell. The goal marked the team-leading seventh score of the season for Harwell and was assisted by senior Taian Souza.
David Preciado followed with a goal at the 17:12 mark of the contest, but sophomore Sebastian Wladyko netted a penalty kick in the 28th minute to give the Warhawks the lead for good.
Kestring scored his first goal of the match just 43 seconds into the second half, while adding an insurance goal in the 72nd minute. Sophomore Niklas Hunold and junior Elvar Sigurdsson assisted on the goals.
Preciado added a second goal of the match in the 54th minute, which pulled BPC to within one goal.
Freshman Phillip Hitpass stopped four shots in the match to earn his second win of the season.
For the game, the Warhawks held a 26-6 advantage in total shots. Sigurdsson and Kestring led all players with five shots each.
AUM will return to action on Saturday, when it travels to Southern Poly for a 2 p.m. contest.

Paul McCartney's entire back catalogue to be reissued by Concord Music Group
It has been announced that Sir Paul McCartney's complete solo and Wings back catalogue will be reissued by the Concord Music Group.
The reissue programme, announced to coincide with the 40th anniversary of 1970's McCartney album, will encompass both physical and digital distribution of McCartney's recordings, and will also include his recordings as The Fireman, Twin Freaks and Percy 'Thrills' Thrillington.
The first album to be reissued will be the classic Band On The Run, seen by many fans as McCartney's finest post-Beatles album. A special multi-disc edition will include bonus material, remastered audio and enhanced packaging.
The move marks a formal end to McCartney's business relationship with EMI Group, which until February 2010 had owned the rights to the majority of his music. McCartney's releases since 2007, including Memory Almost Full and Good Evening New York City, were released by the independent company Concord.
Here's the full press release:
Paul McCartney's MPL and Concord Music Group, one of the world's leading independent music companies today announced an historic agreement to globally market and distribute McCartney's venerated solo and Wings catalog, which encompass 40 years of cherished, classic material from the most successful songwriter and recording artist in music history. Indeed, the music legend has sold an astonishing 100 million solo singles and 700 million albums world-wide in his unparalleled career. The announcement coincides with the 40th anniversary of McCartney, his fabled first solo album released April, 1970.
This exclusive global arrangement, will cover both physical and digital distribution of McCartney's treasured post Beatles catalog including landmark solo albums such as McCartney, Ram, McCartney II, Tug Of War, Pipes of Peace, Give My Regards To Broad Street, Press To Play, Flowers in the Dirt, Off the Ground, Flaming Pie, Driving Rain, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, Memory Almost Full, and Good Evening New York City. The classic Wings albums include Wildlife, Red Rose Speedway, Band On The Run, Venus and Mars, Wings At The Speed of Sound, Wings Over America, London Town and Back To The Egg. The catalog also includes the inventive, highly regarded albums recorded under the McCartney pseudonyms Percy "Thrills" Thrillington, The Fireman and Twin Freaks.
The indispensible and remarkably enduring collection of songs represented in McCartney's post 1970 collected works include the gems "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Another Day", "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", "My Love", "Live & Let Die", "Band On The Run", "Jet", "Listen To What The Man Said", "Silly Love Songs", "Let 'Em In", "With A Little Luck", "Mull Of Kintyre", "Coming Up", "Ebony and Ivory", "Say Say Say", "No More Lonely Nights", "My Brave Face", "Hope Of Deliverance", "Fine Line", and "Dance Tonight" among many others.
McCartney fans can look forward to an ambitious and rewarding reissue program beginning in August of 2010 with Band On The Run; Paul McCartney & Wings' classic #1 album from 1973 that spawned the immortal title song as well as the smash hit "Jet". It will be available in a variety of configurations, including a special collector's multi-disc edition with remastered audio, enhanced packaging and rare bonus content.
In 2007 Concord Records and Starbucks partnered to form Hear Music whose inaugural release was Paul McCartney's highly successful, critically acclaimed album Memory Almost Full. The McCartney-Concord relationship has since blossomed to include the 2009 release of McCartney's historic multi-disc live CD/DVD Good Evening New York City and now this landmark multi-year global marketing and distribution partnership.
"Since the release of Memory Almost Full in 2007 I have had a good working relationship with Concord and enjoyed our mutual love of music," stated McCartney. "I'm looking forward to continuing this relationship with the new catalog campaign. I'm always looking for new ways and opportunities to get my music to people and Concord share this passion."
"Working with Paul McCartney, the MPL team and this tremendous catalog is an unbelievable honor," stated Glen Barros, Concord Music Group President and CEO. "To so many of us here at Concord and to millions of people all over the world, Paul's music has formed a big part of 'life's soundtrack'. So to now be a part of representing this amazing body of work is nothing short of a dream come true."

Despite the known health risks and ongoing public health campaigns, over 46 million Americans still smoke cigarettes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although you probably know that one of the best things you can do for your health is to quit, you may not realize just how many ways smoking impacts your body. Though the most obvious impact of smoking is on your lungs, the negative consequences can be felt throughout the body — and in the health of your heart and blood vessels in particular. And if you already have high cholesterol, smoking can accelerate the damage done by your cholesterol levels.
Smoking also tends to lead to other unhealthy lifestyle habits that can worsen your health. "Smokers are less likely to adhere to heart-healthy habits such as a low-fat diet and regular exercise, and they are more likely to have high blood pressure as well as high cholesterol levels," says Malissa J. Wood, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and co-director of the Corrigan Women's Heart Health Program at Massachusetts General Hospital's Heart Center.
These unhealthy habits set the stage for even more serious health issues, like atherosclerosis, the build-up of plaque in your arteries. "Smoking actually promotes atherosclerosis by increasing the levels of blood clotting and raising blood pressure," says George Grunberger, MD, chairman of the Grunberger Diabetes Institute in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and a clinical professor of internal medicine at the Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit. "The risk of developing coronary heart disease for people who smoke is two to four times that of people who don't."
Smoking and Your Cholesterol Levels
Research suggests that smoking might directly lower levels of "good" HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in the bloodstream. In one study of more than 400 children, for example, children of mothers who smoked during pregnancy had lower levels of the good cholesterol than those whose mothers did not smoke during pregnancy, exposing them to a potentially greater risk for stroke and heart attack over the course of their lives.
"Women typically have much higher HDL levels than men," says Dr. Wood. "Cigarette smoking reduces HDL levels in women, thus reducing its protective effects against heart disease."
The other important component of total cholesterol is low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, the "bad" cholesterol. Though smoking has not been shown to directly impact levels of LDL, it appears that it could have dangerous indirect effects. "Toxins produced and inhaled as cigarettes are smoked modify the existing LDL, leading to higher levels of 'oxidized' LDL within the bloodstream, to make it more likely to cause inflammation," says Wood. "Smoking also raises total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL numbers due to its effect on lipid metabolism."
The Cholesterol Benefits of Quitting Smoking
Research also points to the benefits of kicking the habit: A one-year study published in the American Heart Journal looked at the effects of quit-smoking plans on cholesterol levels and found that the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) in people who had successfully quit were higher than for those who were still smoking, even if they had gained some weight in the process.
Decreases in cholesterol levels also depend on factors such as diet, genetics, exercise, and whether you have diabetes. However, says Wood, "favorable changes in lipids — both elevation of good cholesterol and reduction in cholesterol and LDL/triglycerides — can be seen within weeks to months of quitting smoking."

The relationship between energy and the environment has been the basis of many studies over the years, as has the relationship between energy and development, yet both of these approaches may produce distortions. In the first edition of this book, José Goldemberg pioneered the study of all three elements in relation to one another. With contributions from Oswaldo Lucon, this second edition has been expanded and updated to cover how energy is related to the major challenges of sustainability faced by the world today.
New coverage is included of today's pressing issues, including security, environmental impact assessment and future climate change/renewable energy regimes. The authors also cover all major new international agreements and technological developments. The second edition of Energy, Environment and Development is the result of many years of study and practical experience in policy formulation, discussion and implementation in these fields by the authors. Its technical yet accessible style will make it suitable for students on a range of courses, as well as non-energy specialists who desire an overview of recent thought in the area.

A collection of legendary Chinese bows from actual history, folklore and legend (first submission for my Chinese lore Codex)
There are many grim projections for the Cosmic Era, and far from being the most horrific or exotic, the Universe 26 model has a frighteningly real chance of happening.

You can't miss it, it's eight feet tall, glows in the dark and breathes ghost flames. Even if you're blind it utters blasphemies and damnations, a black poetry of the underworld. If you're deaf and blind you can feel the cold in the air when they turn up.

A world where most people know a few cantrips and even non-magical people can help to cast spells. Which is just as well because the big spells can only be cast with the help of large numbers of people.Most large spells tend to protect borders and stop earthquakes as they can be done legally, but there are those willing to cast bad large spells s well.A major part of law enforcement in this world is preventing evil magic.

Early 17th century: short for tawdry lace, a fine silk lace or ribbon worn as a necklace in the 16th–17th cents, contraction of St Audrey's lace: Audrey was a later form of Etheldrida (died 679), patron saint of Ely where tawdry laces, along with cheap imitations and other cheap finery, were traditionally sold at a fair.
Tawdry was originally short for tawdry lace, a fine silk lace or ribbon worn as a necklace in the 16th and 17th centuries, a contraction of the original term St Audrey's lace. Audrey was a Latinized form of Etheldreda, name of the 7th-century patron saint of Ely, who was said to have worn many showy necklaces in her youth, before she became a nun. When she became terminally ill with a throat tumour she saw her illness as retribution for her vanity. Tawdry laces, along with other finery, were traditionally sold at St Etheldreda's Fair in Ely, and their cheapness and poor quality led to the modern associations of tawdry.

Yep, nobody else knows anything about this so I guess it's a local issue where some poeple feel uncomfortable with the name. So why is it so hard to imagine that everyone in your town has a say in what the team's name is?

Mr. Burr,
As a Caucasian male (an assumption, but a near statistical certainty for that region of the state), it is not surprising that you find no reason to be offended by the name Dixie. Doesn't mean you should change the name, but try to be understanding of where other people are coming from.
After all, I doubt a person of Jewish descent would feel comfortable at Fatherland University or a practicing Latter Day Saint would want to celebrate Governor Lilburn Boggs High School, even if those two institutions never had any affiliation with anti-Semitism or Mormon oppression.

Mr. Burr is leaving out some fun facts.
Until the early 90's the school yearbook was called "The Confederate"
No racial connotation there right?
What about the pictures of students in black face, dressed up as confederate generals or having mock slave auction?
I'm sure you can't see the racial component in that either can you?

You know, when you're praising or exalting the names of people who persecuted MY ancestors, it is absolutely unacceptable. Therefore I would be irate if anyone named their high school the Governor Lilburn Boggs High School and had a yearbook called "The Exterminator', for example. However, if they are insulting someone else, I really could care less and in fact think it is "political correctness" for them to complain about it. You know, the feelings of other people just aren't as important as mine are.

Clytie was Watts's first large sculpture. In his Metamorphoses, the Roman poet Ovid tells of an ocean nymph named Clytie, who fell in love with the sun-god Apollo. When he deserted her, she was changed into a sunflower that turns its head to follow the sun on its daily course from east to west.
Watts shows her metamorphosing into a flower, while also suggesting movement over time through the musculature and torsion of the body. He said he wanted to get an impression of colour, by which he meant the variation of light and shade across the surface of the sculpture.

Is smoking harmful when breastfeeding?
Tobacco smoking is always harmful, and all mothers should be encouraged to quit smoking prior to pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, smoking cigarettes is not considered to be a reason for not breastfeeding, since breastfeeding is the optimal nutrition for newborns. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics' policy statement on breastfeeding, "tobacco smoking by mothers is not a contraindication to breastfeeding, but health-care professionals should advise all tobacco-using mothers to avoid smoking within the home and to make every effort to wean themselves from tobacco as rapidly as possible."
Nursing mothers should understand that nicotine is passed to the baby in breast milk, and they should never nurse their baby immediately after smoking or while smoking. Babies exposed to secondhand smoke also are at risk for a number of health issues, so if a woman smokes, she should nurse her baby after smoking, in a room away from cigarette smoke. Of course, the safest policy for both mother and baby is to abstain from tobacco use while breastfeeding and forever thereafter.
Do breast implants, surgeries, or reductions affect breastfeeding?
Strictly speaking, neither breast augmentation surgery nor breast reduction surgery are indications that a woman should not breastfeed. However, all types of breast surgery can interfere with milk production. In women who have received implants, the location of the implant and the type of incision used in the procedure will determine the extent, if any, to which the implant may affect breast milk production or nursing ability. In some cases, operations on a woman's breast may have involved incisions in the nipple area (such as surgeries for biopsies), and in these cases, the milk ducts may have been disrupted. Surgical disruption of milk ducts and scar tissue may also predispose women to plugged ducts, mastitis, or milk retention cysts during breastfeeding.
Concerns have been expressed in the past that the content of breast implants (particularly with silicone implants) could leak out and be absorbed into breast milk, but studies have failed to show that this is a risk. Ideally, a woman who is planning breast surgery should discuss in advance with her surgeon the risks that the procedure may pose to future breastfeeding.

Criminal Defense Attorney
There would need to be a lot more known. With all the information in the world, it would be impossible to say with any certainty whether he will or not. I will say this. 7 years is a long time for probation. The Judge may have felt that jail was most appropriate, but gave him a break. Unless he was on probation for a long time and was well behaved while on it, jail seems pretty likely.

Essay - Asperger Syndrome Aspergers Syndrome is a High-functioning Form of Autism...
Asperger Syndrome
Aspergers Syndrome is a high-functioning form of Autism th*****t has been gaining a lot of attention from the medical and educational community in recent years. This is a form of autism that appears to affect children in large numbers, but is virtually undetectable in adults, despite there be*****g no cure for this recognized disorder. The number ***** total diagnoses of Aspergers Syndrome is difficult to identify, however it is certain ***** the ***** of identified cases is continuing to rise. Children with Aspergers Syndrome have special needs in the home and school environments because ***** the different way ***** which *****y respond to the world. Aspergers ***** may lead to children having feelings of "creasing numbers of children and youth are being identified with the *****....Students ***** AS often appear (and frequently confess) to being overwhelmed, stressed, and frustrated by a complex ***** dynamic world in ***** they struggle to understand and be a productive part." (Myles 2002) Recognition of how ***** Syndrome ***** affect children and their abilities ***** different developmental areas is the first step to ensuring a function*****l and fulfilling childhood and future in life for those affected. However, it is important to keep in mind that recognition and accommodation are not necessarily the same goals as finding a "cure" for Aspergers Syndrome, ***** promoting underst*****nding and acceptance may not be entirely possible if a cure is the end goal. Development must take place in a supportive environment.
Hans Asperger was an Austrian doctor that *****ized in working with children, and during h***** work ***** children in the 1940s he noticed specific patterns and abilities that certa***** boys had in common. Asperger referred to ***** pattern of behavior as "autistic psychopathy," literally meaning self-personality-dise*****e. (Parton et al 2006) Asperger described autistic psychopathy as including such behavior ***** "a lack ***** empathy, little ability to form fri*****ships, one-sided conversation, intense absorption in a speci***** interest, and clumsy movements." (Asperger in ***** et al 2006)
*****, Asperger did not only note the aspects of this pattern of behavior that would negatively affect the quality ***** ***** for his patients.

Cheese Rolling: Proof That Anything Can be Made Into a Sport
There is an event held annually at Cooper's Hill in Gloucester, England. It is called cheese rolling. Think that sounds like a game where a giant piece of cheese is rolled down a hill? It can't be that literal, right? Oh, it is. Cheese rolling involves the rolling of a nine pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese down a hill, while people race (fall violently) to catch it. The first person to follow the cheese over the finish line is declared the winner.
And what exactly do you win in this race? Money? A free vacation? Nope. You win the cheese you chased. Double Gloucester must be the Mercedes Benz of cheeses if people are willing to risk life and limb for it.
This is something else. Most violent cheese-related sport ever.
Apparently the cheese can reach speeds of 70 miles per hour. Imagine being at the bottom, not paying attention, and getting laid out by a cheese wheel? Awful. This reminds me of dog tracks in America. The cheese is the mechanical bunny, and the people are the racing dogs. Except the dogs run normally, and these people look like they're constantly being suplexed by ghosts.
Also, I hope there haven't been any cheese rolling fatalities, but it definitely seems possible. It would be a shame to go out chasing something that you could easily get at a supermarket.
Although this is dangerous, and seems like it was made up at 4am in a bar somewhere, I do commend the people of Gloucester for finding a way of making this nonsensical cheese dash into a time honored tradition that people travel from around the world to partake in. Cheese rolling forever!
Would you take part in cheese rolling? Weigh in on Twitter and follow us @Fanduel. Also, don't forgets to signup at fanduel.com to play in one-week fantasy football leagues for real cash!

EPRI's Technology Innovation Portfolio Preview
This quick video highlights EPRI's Technology Innovation program, which accelerates development of breakthrough technologies, and provides thought leadership and applied R&D to help maintain an innovation pipeline through EPRI's research sectors. To learn more, download the program's prospectus.
2017 Research Portfolio
See what programs and projects are on deck for next year. Visit our 2017 Research Portfolio website.
See how EPRI's 2017 research portfolio looks through multiple lenses to provide electricity sector research and development that helps utilities provide clean, reliable, affordable energy for the benefit of the public.
The new edition features a column from EPRI CEO Mike Howard, a Q&A session with EPRI Cyber Security expert Annabelle Lee, and other energy sector insights
EPRI Innovation Scouts are investigating the airborne turbine, along with concepts and technologies spanning diverse aspects of wind power generation.
"In general, I like the term 'environmental competitiveness.' Typically we hear the word 'environmental' paired with 'compliance,' which describes a fundamental aspect of doing business. Environmental competitiveness describes a different perspective—one of success through innovation and competition—to serve customers and benefit society."
EPRI has published a series of three white papers on the concepts of Flexibility, Connectivity, and Resiliency as they relate to the adoption of innovative technologies in power generation, delivery, and use. The papers provide insight on the importance of these attributes for ensuring seamless operation of the Integrated Grid.
The U.S. Department of Energy's SunShot Initiative today announced EPRI will receive $1 million in funding through its Solar Training and Education for Professionals, or STEP, program, which aims to further develop skills of the existing utility industry workforce and inspire future power systems engineers. EPRI will use the funding to expand its GridEd engineering education program to the U.S. West Coast.
