Local Area:
There's a Reason We Have So Many Supportive Alumni – downtown relies on mostly student business and students are generally very supportive of each other and the school
Off-Campus Dining:
Not Great, but Still Not Dining Hall Food – It's great going downtown every once in a while, and the food is going to cost just a few dollars more than the dining halls typically. I haven't found a place that's super amazing or anything yet, but it cuts down on the monotony of dining hall food for sure.
Computer labs are plentiful, and not hard to get to at all. You get 110 free sheets of paper at a lab per semester, and that gets used up quick, especially if you print in color (color counts as 3 sheets). It's worth the investment in a printer for your dorm. The network is really fast, and the 10 gb limit for downloads isn't used up quickly unless you stream the Olympics, for example. If you go over, the internet slows considerably. Consider buying a wireless router if you don't want to deal with a ethernet cable or you want to go to a different room on your floor to use your laptop (the 10 gb limit still applies for a wireless router) Wireless is good throughout campus, except near and in dorms. Also: go to RESCOM for any tech. issues, because they'll solve it for you. It's located in the commons nearest you, and free- useful particularly at the beginning of each semester.
Campus Quality:
From a Future Lion Ambassador – The gym for regular students (I'm not a Varsity athlete) is very nice- with tons of weightlifting equipment, elliptical, bikes, gym classes (yoga & power remix are amazing!). All the buildings on campus don't have the same look, but it's a nice mix of modern (see: Millennium Science Building, IT Building, new Law Building, Creamery, HUB) and traditional (Willard, Old Main, any other buildings) in an non-offsetting kind of way. I wanted a blend, and it's a blend. The library is divided in different areas (study, chill, computer lab, stacks) so you can always find a place where you feel comfortable. By far the best place I've found to study is Pollock Commons, with a quiet room and a hang-out room with TVs, billiards and air hockey. If you want to go be alone to study, go to the Alumni Center. It's very quiet, because people think they can't go into the building.
Not for Freshmen – I only received a minimum amount- about $5000/yr coming from a middle-class family. I've heard that although there's not a lot of freshmen aid, there's scholarships you can apply for during and after freshmen year.
Still Going Strong – Even with all the drama concerning Sandusky and the fallout over that, all the student body is determined to support the football team even more so than the past, especially the incoming class of 2016. Generally speaking, as a legacy who has been coming to sporting events at PSU since I was a baby, the students are always supportive of the athletes, and that's not going to change. Pretty much everyone who's not a athlete is sporty/preppy enough to still go spend a night cheering on one team or another.
Not Worth It – Parking spaces are limited with a rather expensive price tag attached, so students mostly walk or use bikes, which is a lot more convenient (with bike holder things in front or on the sides of every building). In the summer, it's easy to have a bike with the extremely reduced student population. In the fall, it's going to be a hassle with so many people and the sidewalks filled.
The diversity at this university is definitely existant. As an asian attending this school, I mostly have asian friends. This is not to say, that I usually only have asian friends--actually all my friends back home are white. The HUB, which is the center of the university, can give you a clear view of the diversity at Penn State. There are definitely more races at Penn State than just one.
Easy to Get Around – The transportation at Penn State is very accessible and helps you get around everywhere. It is not hard to understand and even in the winter the lines are not long and it is easy to get to class and anywhere you may need to go in downtown. The buses are the best option and every now and then I may have used a taxi.
Greek Life:
I'm currently in a sorority in Greek life at Penn State. I would say it definitely is a big part of my experience at school and there are also many other organizations to get involved in. Being in Greek life allows you to have weekend plans and also provides activities to be involved with during the week, when you are available. It also opens you up to a network of other Greeks within Penn State and makes the transition into college much easier. I would definitely recommend joining Greek life, it has been an amazing part of my experience at Penn State.
Great If Youre a Full Time Student – Parking is plentiful and cheap if you live on or right off of campus
Guys & Girls:
School Orientated – most girls on campus are aimed at a good education. Don't get me wrong you have your rich girls there to gossip and party but over all everyone is classy and there to learn first and foremost.
Campus Quality:
Pride and Spirit! Penn State is filled with so much pride and spirit it practically flows in the drinking water!
Tons of Help, Tons of Pride – I love being in my major at PSU. Everyone in the advising department knows their stuff. They seek you out and let you know about things that would interest you such as clubs and internships. They know exactly what classes to advise you to take and they understand all of my concerns. They are also extremely Penn State Proud!
Campus Food:
Great Food – The food is better at PSU than I have had at any other college. Their is a ton of variety and there are dining halls and places to use your meal points all over campus.
Greek Life:
Greek life at Penn State is very influential, almost 20 % of the students are involved in greek life. The Sororities live on their own dorm floors and the Fraternities have houses that members can live in. Most greek organizations are very involved socially and most participate in the huge charity event called THON, which raises millions of dollars for pediatric cancer.
CATA Buses Are Great – The Penn State bus system, CATA bus is extremely helpful. Buses are available to take you on-campus for free, or off-campus for $1.50
Weather in Happy Valley isn't always very happy. LOTS of rain and snow, and usually happening at random times.
Off-Campus Housing:
Quite a Few Off-Campus Options – There are a lot of off-campus housing options for upperclassmen, but some of the better ones and ones closer to campus can be hard to get or pricey.
Campus Housing:
Dorms Are Average – Freshman dorms are small, as expected. Upperclassmen dorms are nicer and many of the dorms are newly renovated.
Off-Campus Housing:
Lots of Options – There are a ton of options for off-campus housing at PSU- apartments, houses, townhouses, co-ops! The costs vary as well but are relatively the same prices as living on-campus. Many housing choices extremely close to campus so no car is needed.
Off-Campus Dining:
Great Downtown – There is so much variety downtown, and things cost about what I would expect in a college town. Some stuff is overpriced, but there are plenty of good deals. One of my favorite restaurants is Baby's, and they have a half-price milk shake night, as well as a $3 sliders night.
No Trouble at All – To officially become a Psych major, you must take a specific handful of classes, as well as have a 2.0 GPA. The vast majority of people should be able to get in easily.
As a Psych B.S. I find that I have a lot of choices in the classes I take, as well as competent professors. I have only had one professor that I haven't enjoyed in my field, and that class was easy so I didn't mind. I'm using my major option (Neuroscience) as a stepping stone to medical school, and could not be happier with my choice.
Off-Campus Dining:
Huge Variet – There are a plethora of restaurants to eat at off campus in State College. Another great part about these restaurants is that they deliver and you can order your meal online using lionmenus.com. There are always great discounts and several options for each cuisine.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Despite common reservations about the location and climate, most Penn State students are fiercely loyal to their alma mater. Penn State boasts one of the largest alumni populations in the United States; graduates are proud of their degrees, and employers recognize the University's name immediately. Although the campus is located in a very rural area, school is technologically up-to-date and on the cutting-edge of current research.
Aside from academics, PSU is also known for its social scene, especially in relation to sports and parties. Nittany Lion football—home of the 2008 Big Ten Champions—is a national draw and a point of pride for both the University and the town of State College. For anyone interested in playing or watching varsity sports, PSU is a top choice. Penn State has also been ranked highly by many polls and "party school" surveys as one of the top party schools in the nation. While it certainly isn't the wildest town, these rankings are definitely accurate. The small-town setting and large-school atmosphere makes for little else in the way of entertainment, so it can be hard to avoid encountering the party scene during your time as a student. Still, the mix of work and leisure seems to work well for most of the student body, and academic standards at Penn State remain relatively high. It's easy to spend four years at Penn State as an ever-serious student, focused completely on whatever you choose to study. With so many opportunities to relax nearby, balance and moderation are some of the best skills to learn from your four years in college.

A steady spiral into one core truth
The Trouble with "Carrie": Strong Female Characters and Onscreen Violence.
Whether she's volunteering to take her sister's place in the arena or grooming her son to lead the resistance; gunning down the gangsters who sell drugs to the kids in her neighborhood or swinging swords to avenge her daughter, the "strong female character" is often stirred by a maternal concern, a quintessential desire to preserve her community, to protect the weak and vulnerable. Her bad-assery must be in the service of a greater good. Even when she's more ethically complex (like the Bride, who begrudgingly admits that all the people she killed to get to her daughter, "felt good"), she never takes a place at the table of Walter White's grand epiphany: "I did it for me."
Carrie does what Beatrix Kiddo and Ellen Ripley and Katniss Everdeen don't: She does it for herself. Her vengeance, her violence, is in service to no one, no noble good. She doesn't kill because her family and friends have been threatened. There are no friends, no fellow outcasts, to protect from the bullies. No little sister to shield from Mama's wrath. Only her. And she is enough. Carrie kills because she was wronged.
There is a paradox in our distaste for "an eye for an eye."

DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) - The Duncan Police Department was temporarily evacuated after an apparent pipe bomb was brought into the building.
Police Chief Jeff Johnson says the building was evacuated about 4:30 p.m. Monday when a city employee tried to hand the device to an officer. It was reopened about 7 p.m. after an Oklahoma Highway Patrol bomb squad using a robot moved the pipe to a parking lot and
deactivated it.
Johnson says the incident began when the city employee found the 6-inch long PVC pipe in a ditch in the city and took it to police.
Johnson says police are now trying to determine who made the device and why it was left in the ditch.

Program will feature local literacy council
Published: Saturday, December 9, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 9, 2006 at 12:42 a.m.
To The Editor: At Blue Ridge Literacy Council, we have been following the negotiations of Mediacom/Sinclair Broadcasting with bated breath. We applaud their agreement to a contract extension until Jan. 5 for very good reason.
That is because the council is one of only five charities in the United States to be featured on "Every Minute Counts," a special that will air Dec. 24 at 3 p.m. on -- you guessed it -- ABC. How often does a cause that is locally championed and nurtured get attention from millions of viewers at a national level?
This is not purely ego on our part. Instead, we know it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to raise awareness of the work we do teaching Henderson County adults the English communication and literacy skills they need to thrive in today's complex world. Our ongoing quest for even more tutors and program support will surely be advanced because "Every Moment Counts" will be available for everyone in the area to see.
You may be very busy the afternoon of Dec. 24. Nevertheless, I encourage you to take time to watch as our community is highlighted at a national level.
Dene Hellman

Currently I am simply using an array of vertex structs in my vertex buffer. Each struct contains my position, normal and UV coordinates. Is there a way with D3D11 to separate this into 3 different buffers and render it using an index buffer with multiple indexes?
#2 Moderators - Reputation: 48363
Posted 08 February 2012 - 01:43 AM
AFAIK, using multiple index buffers at once (to index different vertex attributes) isn't possible. You could emulate it however, e.g. by storing indices inside your vertex structure (instead of values), and storing the values inside a tbuffer etc.

You would have to manually sample a structured buffer in the vertex shader, since the IA only supports one index buffer at a time.

Separating into three separate buffers is also bad for performance - GPUs don't like to recieve data in that kind of layout (it's something that was valid back in the old software T&L days for sure, but it's both redundant and harmful today). This is a clear case where there is a tradeoff between performance and memory usage, so remember: memory is cheap and plentiful, performance isn't.
It appears that the gentleman thought C++ was extremely difficult and he was overjoyed that the machine was absorbing it; he understood that good C++ is difficult but the best C++ is well-nigh unintelligible.
