moreAstronomy is an ancient science on the cutting edge. Although it's been around for more than 5,500 years, astronomers say that we've learned more than 90 percent of what we know about the universe in just the last 50 years. Of this body of knowledge, a disproportionate amount has been acquired in the past decade, with each new year yielding more information than the last. The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Astronomy, Third Edition, covers these new advances and discoveries and is repositioned to focus more on exciting, cutting-edge cosmology topics and less on backyard astronomy. The new edition contains approximately 35% new material. Some of the highlights include: the latest news regarding the possibility of life on Mars; new images of newly discovered extrasolar planets and asteroid fly-bys; the new discovery of an extrasolar system that looks very much like our own; the latest information regarding what is known about the Big Bang; new information on the nature and shape of our universe; exciting new observations concerning the theory of an accelerating universe and how it will end; new data on the black hole at the center of our galaxy; the latest scientific speculation on the possibility of extraterrestrial life; the latest information on the International Space Station; the most up-to-date information and images from Cassini, BOOMERANG, and other current missions; and the next steps for NASA. less

Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan for Vice President inexorably links Romney to Ryan's extremist plan to raise taxes on middle class Americans, while providing tax cuts to the very wealthy. The choice demonstrates Romney's commitment to end Medicare as we know it.

by Joe Hill •
Tonight is the last chance that the residents of Costa Mesa will have to speak out on the topic of Mayor Pro Tem Jim Righeimer's city charter initiative before the Council votes to place it on the ballot again.

Republicans Expanding War on Women via End Around on Roe v. Wade
by Dan Chmielewski •
Years ago, some conservative friends signed me up for a TownHall.com account and the emails I'm sent provide sometimes a chilling view of the national plans Republicans have for fundamentally changing our society. The latest campaign, promoted by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, seeks an "end around" the US Supreme Court to legally redfine when "personhood"…
Tax Plans of GOP Presidential Candidates to Bust Budget
by Dan Chmielewski •
Considering how often all of the stimulus programs are wrong attributed to President Obama, the Washington Post reports today that the tax plans of three of the remaining GOP presidential hopefuls simply pile on the deficit. So the closer look by US Budget Watch demonstrates that Republicans are hardly the fiscal conservatives they claim to…
Voices From Street Corners: 2012 Quite a Year Already
by Mike Pouraryan •
Thinking about the state of leadership in the country right now I recalled this thought from Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat and the Chrysler Group: "…. Leadership is not a quantitative thing…people either smell it in you or they don't…People need to trust you that you're going to pull them out and they will follow you when you pull them out. If they don't get that comfort, they're going to drop you.

My husband loves cheesecake and I wanted to make him a special dessert for our anniversary. I didn't have a lot of time that day so this recipe was perfect! It was delicious and looked like I spent way more time making it than I did. I followed the recipe exactly. The only thing I'd consider changing for next time is that I might make the cheesecake layer a little thicker by making it in a 11X7 pan instead of a 8X13.
I tried this for our Thanksgiving dessert and it was delicious!! I used the recipe as it read and it was perfect.
this is delicious, i made this exactly as written and would not change a thing
A delicious blueberry dessert. Easy and quick to prepare. I did reduce the sugar in the crust to 1/4 cup, otherwise made as written. Thanks for sharing!
This recipe I also had for years but had misplaced it. I knew if I checked on ZAAR I could find it it easily.. Very simple recipe and sooooo good. I only made one change to it. My former recipe uses graham cracker crumbs, so I used 2 cups of crumbs, 1 stick melted butter and about 4 Tbsp. of sugar. Make this and you will keep it handy for all your family desserts! It is Delish!!!
I made this recently for a dinner party. One of my guests said it was so good he wanted to lick his plate ! All the goodness of cheesecake, but much simpler to make
We enjoyed this dessert very much. We especially liked that it wasn't as filling as a regular cheesecake. I used low fat cream cheese and it worked great. This is a very easy dessert to make ~ thank you for posting!

Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on the UN Climate Change Conference in Warsaw
New York, 23 November 2013
The Secretary-General welcomes the outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference that concluded today in Warsaw and he congratulates Poland for successfully hosting the Conference. The decisions adopted in Warsaw serve as an important stepping stone toward a universal legal agreement in 2015. The Secretary-General welcomes the decision by Parties to intensify immediate actions to fight climate change and to come forward with their national contributions to the agreement well before its finalization in 2015.
Much more needs to be done over the coming two years to achieve the ambitious agreement necessary to keep the global temperature rise below two degrees Celsius. To further increase global ambition and advance concrete climate action, the Secretary-General looks forward to hosting a Climate Summit in September 2014. He has asked world leaders, as well as leaders from business, finance, local government and civil society, to bring bold announcements and actions that will lead to significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions and strengthened adaptation and resilience efforts.

Roger Penske really has done it all now. Certainly, the racing icon is no stranger to titles and prestigious race wins. He has 15 Indianapolis 500 wins to his credit and a pair of Daytona 500 victories. He has 12 IndyCar Series titles over his storied career. He even helped orchestrate the Super Bowl when it was played in Detroit. But for years, there's been a noticeable gap in Penske's resume. Brad Keselowski has filled that. First in 2010, when he handed his Penske his first title in one of NASCAR's three major touring series in taking the Nationwide Series crown. But in 2012, he did for Penske what no one else -- not Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace, nor previous Cup champ Kurt Busch, nor a host of other talented drivers -- had managed. He raced to the NASCAR Sprint Cup title. That puts an owner who had the likes of Mark Donohue, Donnie Allison and Dave Marcis driving for him in his 1972 debut season into the top tier of NASCAR owners. Penske, a man with more than 350 race wins ...

ATLANTA (AP) - The Georgia Senate has passed an immigration bill that includes some parts that are similar to a contentious law enacted last year in Arizona and sent it back to the House.
The Senate on Thursday voted 37-19 to approve an amended version of the bill authored by Rep. Matt Ramsey. The bill now goes back to the House.
The bill contains provisions that would authorize law enforcement officers to verify the immigration status of certain criminal suspects and would penalize people who transport or harbor illegal immigrants.
It also would require employers with 10 or more employees to use a federal database called E-Verify to check the immigration status of new hires, but would allow a 30-day grace period for those found in violation.

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Missoula Montana
245 PM MDT Mon Jul 25 2016
Discussion...thunderstorms return to the forecast this afternoon
with a shortwave expected to pass through the region. There is
model agreement for thunderstorms to develop along the
Continental Divide and specifically near Butte this afternoon,
but most of north central Idaho and western Montana will be storm
free and warmer today.
Shower and thunderstorm coverage is likely to increase on Tuesday
with the passage of a more defined shortwave. Northwest Montana,
particularly along the Montana/Canadian border, is forecast to have
the best ingredients for showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday.
There will also again be thunderstorm chances along The Divide and
mainly east of the Idaho/Montana border. Overall there has been little
change to the forecast through Tuesday night.
Forecast models continue to show yet another shortwave moving
through the flow during the day on Wednesday. Again, with this
feature, the locations most likely to see afternoon showers and
thunderstorms will be northwest Montana and along the Continental
Divide. These thunderstorms will be your garden variety storms,
with lightning and brief heavy rain being the greatest impact.
High temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday will primarily run
around normal. Though by the end of the week, forecast models are
hinting at a brief ridge building, that would allow for
temperatures to really increase to 5-10 degrees above normal by
Friday and/or Saturday. However, this greatly depends on how fast
an approaching low pressure system currently over Alaska moves
into the Pacific northwest. This low pressure system could keep the
northern rockies from really feeling the heat this coming weekend.
Aviation... the first half of today will be characterized by
clear skies and light winds. A shortwave currently passing through
Washington is forecast to move into north central Idaho and
western Montana this afternoon. High based cumulus clouds will
build over the terrain and a few thunderstorms are forecast to
develop along The Divide, mainly near Butte.

Is there a way to map virtual memory to physical memory. I need to be able to do this in order to write a memory diagnostic program. The linux version is 184.108.40.206
closed as not a real question by Wesley, Michael Hampton♦, Dave M, Khaled, mgorven Mar 20 '13 at 16:34
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you are writing a memory diagnostic routine you really need to stick your fingers into the kernel space to do it - it's pretty much impossible to do in user space (the VM space is relocatable and can be anywhere in physical memory - or not in physical memory at all).
For that matter there's no reason for you to write a memory diagnostic program - this is a solved problem and the tools that have been written (and tested over many years) will be superior to your first-attempt solution, so you should use them.

UCF Struggling To Sell Off Fiesta Bowl Ticket Allotment, On The Hook For Over $5M
Published December 16, 2013
YOU SAY POTATO: In San Diego, Stefanie Loh noted San Diego State "won't sell anywhere near the number of tickets" for the Dec. 21 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against Buffalo that SDSU "managed in its two Poinsettia Bowl appearances" in the past three seasons. However, the school is a week into ticket sales and has "at least already surpassed the dismal sales numbers they put up ... when they traveled to the New Orleans Bowl" in '11. SDSU Associate AD Steve Schnall on Friday said that the school has "already exceeded the 1,200 tickets they sold for the New Orleans Bowl but declined to release the exact number sold thus far because he's waiting for the SDSU football players and coaches to submit their ticket requests." SDSU's initial allotment of Potato Bowl tickets is 8,000, and the school is "required to purchase those tickets up front and absorb any unsold tickets." Potato Bowl officials said that they have "sold about 27,000 tickets so far" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 12/15).
HEADING SOUTH: In St. Paul, Marcus Fuller reported Minnesota is "ahead of last year's pace in terms of ticket sales" for the Dec. 27 Texas Bowl against Syracuse. But UM Deputy AD David Benedict on Friday said that the school only has "a week left to surpass last year's total of 3,200 tickets sold" for the same game. UM traditionally has a "history of poor fan turnout when they return to the same bowl games." Texas Bowl officials said that they are "expecting a crowd of at least 50,000" (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 12/14).
ROSES ARE GREEN: Michigan State AD Mark Hollis yesterday confirmed that Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany "helped find about 200 more tickets" for the school's Rose Bowl matchup against Stanford. MSU Associate AD/Ticket Operations Wendy Brown said that the new-found tickets "along with cancellations means all MSU donors at the Honorary Coaches level -- those who give between $2,000 and $4,999 annually -- will now get four tickets if they requested them" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 12/16).

This was very good, and fun to make, however I found the addition of the white pepper turned me off! It added an aroma that didn't seem to work for me. I will definitely make this again, omitting the white pepper. Also, I didnt have cumin seed so I used corriander seed, and had no fenugreek.
Really liked this! I did serve with some brown rice for bulk, and softened goat cheese to cut some of the heat. Yogurt would accomplish the same. I will SO make this again. Nice posting; thank you.

Satanists To Rally in Favor of Rick Scott
A group of people who usually worship the Dark Lord of Hell will convene latter this month lend their support to the Dark Lord of Tallahassee.
Yes, members of the Florida-based Satanic Temple will gather on the steps of the Governor's office on January 25 to rally in favor of Florida Governor Rick Scott.
This is either an unintended consequence of Scott's particular interpretation of the separation of Church and State, or political trolling at its highest.
See, last year Rick Scott signed a bill into law that would allow local school boards to authorize policies that would let students lead "inspirational messages" at school events, even if those messages had a religious bent.

Supporters meant it as a way to insert Christian prayer back into school, but the vague way it was written leaves a lot of room for unintended consequences.
For examples, The Satanic Temple is now thrilled that Satanist children will be able to praise the Devil in school.
"The Satanic Temple embraces the free expression of religion, and Satanists are happy to show their support of Rick Scott who -- particularly with SB 98 -- has reaffirmed our American freedom to practice our faith openly, allowing our Satanic children the freedom to pray in school," said the group's Neil Bricke in a statement.
The release also praises Scott's "unwavering fortitude and progressive resolve in his defense of religious liberty."
Of course, no one is really sure how legit The Satanic Temple is. Politicker talked to a spokesman for the group who refused to divulge how large their membership is, and points out that the church was only founded last year. Though, the spokesman states that the group doesn't necessarily support Scott's other policies.
This could be some A-level trolling, but the group does have an actual website.
"The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people. In addition, we embrace practical common sense," reads their mission statement. "The King of Hell wants all of us to be guided by our conscience and to undertake noble pursuits guided by compassion and wisdom. We believe that this is the hope of all mankind and the highest aspiration of humanity. May we all be consumed by the inspiration and guidance of Satan to fulfill our noble destiny."
You know, aside from their support of Rick Scott, these Satanists don't sound too bad.

In addition to teacher incentives, the school implemented a number of rewards for students to encourage attendance and achievement. Students with a 3.2 GPA or higher are named to the school's Warrior Club, earning early lunch privileges and a weekly snack or prize.
"My son wants to be here every day," parent Maria Moreno said, "because if they're here every day, they get rewards. He wanted to be in the Warrior Club so bad."
The school has made an effort to inform parents about the student achievement data available to them. Conley said that at any school-hosted performance, such as band and choir concerts, administrators take the stage between acts and display the school's progress.
"We lower the big screen and we just share about two minutes of data with parents," he said. "The parents historically in our community just lacked access to that information."
That data sharing extends to students as well, with a push for teachers to track the progress of each student and regularly communicate what can and needs to be done to improve.
"They greet us and they remind us about assignments that we are missing," eighth-grader Valeria Lazareno said. "I feel like I know all of my teachers."
Assistant Principal Pam Pederson said she no longer hears students say "my teacher hates me" as an excuse for bad grades. Instead, students are fully aware of what areas they struggle in and what resources are available.
"We are relentless in sharing information with them and giving them power over their lives," Pedersen said. "I truly believe that children can have power to make their lives better, and we have to give them the tools to do it."
Salt Lake City School District Superintendent McKell Withers spoke highly of the use of student achievement data, but added that data should not be used to place labels on teachers and schools.
Withers described those efforts as "misguided" and said sometimes labels are insisted under the guise of transparency, when in reality they hold teachers' and schools' efforts back.
"Politically, there are so many people who want to put an A (grade) on this school and then ignore subgroups of students within this school," he said.
Duncan said there is rarely a simple answer to what makes a school successful and that extra money by itself has little effect without hard work.
But he added that there are lessons other schools could learn from Northwest, such as the need for strong leadership, a hardworking staff, high expectations, clear data and honest conversations with students, parents and the community.
"The results from just a couple years ago are radically, radically different," Duncan said of Northwest's progress. "This is absolutely a success story, and having more educators, having more parents, having more community members understand what it takes to get radically better results for kids, I think that's why so many of us come to work every single day."
Northwest's grant from the U.S. Department of Education expired at the end of the 2012-13 school year, but Conley said the school will continue to offer performance-based incentives through a $100,000 grant from the Education Reform Foundation.

Guest Post: Rethinking the Term 'Passion' During the Search
Zabud Johnson, 30, is a 2009 graduate of Howard University's Graduate School of Business. Previously, Mr. Johnson was a fixed income salesperson and analyst at Southwest Securities in Chicago. Mr. Johnson currently lives between Washington D.C. and Chicago.
When I entered business school in 2007, my cohort was encouraged to be introspective, a self-exercise to find what we were really passionate about accomplishing. The goal was to find one's passion and pursue a function inline with that passion.
In light of the present state of the economy, I wonder if professionals, young and old, still have that option. Of course I know the answer to this question. Query any out of work factory worker in Detroit and you will hear a resounding, "screw your passion!" So the fact is, I have had to mourn the death of my youth driven optimism and have had to replace it with the stone-faced cynicism of my grandfather.
My problem is that I can't hide my disdain when I am constantly confronted with applying for positions that I know that I am overqualified for. After eighteen years of education being limited to working as a barista at the corner coffee shop or a friendly customer service associate is heart aching.
I can't say that I wasn't warned. During my second year of graduate studies my father phoned and told me that a storm was upon us. That in a storm, one must attach their ship to the closest port. His warning fell on partially deaf ears because I felt there was no way that after the forgone opportunity cost of pursuing my M.B.A. could I be left without a port to attach my ship to. I likened his words to that of an older trusted confidant, whose real world weathered pessimism was readied at a moments notice to dash the dreams of a starry-eyed junior. His words were to be taken with a grain of salt because he wasn't the enlightened M.B.A. that I was.
I fervently continued seeking out my dream jobs as an associate finance manager or capital markets analyst, but to no avail. My resume ended up in the same abyss that many other well-experienced M.B.A.s had.
Flash forward seven months and I am still unemployed, however I have learned valuable lessons in thrift, sacrifice and humility. This forced growing pain compels me to approach my career with the vigor of a survivor. Passion is no longer the top criteria when researching a potential position; my expectations have thoroughly been adjusted. In my case, I used to be passionate about the capital markets and community development, but since I haven't worked in seven months, now I'm passionate about paying my cell phone bill.
Readers, what sacrifices have you made since you started your job search? Share your stories in the comments section.

Great Grey Wolf Sif is the wolf companion of Sir Artorias, the Abysswalker. After Artorias passed away, Sif became the guardian of Artorias' grave in the Darkroot Garden. Sif wields Artorias' Greatsword and uses some of his moves in combat.
A younger Sif appears in the additional content. Sif accompanied Artorias on his quest to save Oolacile from the forces of the Abyss. However, Artorias and Sif were overrun, and the former used his shield to erect a barrier around Sif to prevent corruption.
Note: Sif's sex is never actually specified, although the name Sif itself is a female name of Norse origin, so Sif's sex is likely female. However, since it is contentious, neutral pronouns (or alternate pronouns for clarity's sake) will be used here.
LocationDarkroot Garden
After the second stone bridge, as the area boss. Opening the stone gate doesn't trigger the boss fight. You need to get close enough to the greatsword in the middle of the grave to trigger the boss fight.
Chasm of the Abyss
Behind an illusory wall at the Chasm of the Abyss. To find Sif, you must follow an illusion of what appears to be Alvina, until the illusion is standing next to a wall. Attack the wall and you will find Sif inside a protective barrier [image], surrounded by Humanity Phantoms. Defeat them, and Sif will disappear and leave behind the Cleansing Greatshield.
Chasm of the Abyss
As a summonable phantom.Sif's soul sign is in the area boss arena on the lighter grey stone floor within the circle of pillars, about five steps left from your starting position after the cutscene. You must save Sif first for the soul sign to appear.
- When down to the last segments of their health, Sif will start limping and become significantly less effective with the giant sword.
- Additionally,if you bring Sif's health to the point where they would be limping,while they are in the middle of their 2 slash combo or Artorias-like spin,they will fail to swing the sword correctly during the second spin/slash and fall on their back trying to get up for a second. Which leaves them open…..you monster.
- If you have not met Sif yet (i.e. triggering the boss fight) in the base game and received the Cleansing Greatshield from him (when playing the Additional Content), the introductory cutscene will change, with Sif now recognizing you as their savior and reluctantly choosing to fight. In each playthrough, you have to save Sif in the Additional Content before facing them in the base game for this to happen.
- Attacking and killing Sif does not betray the Forest Hunter covenant.
- Being summoned can prove difficult. Human players might get assaulted by players summoned by Alvina on their way to Sif.
- If you have an Eye of Death active you will not be able to interact with the doorway to Sif.
- Fire
- Bleeding
Attack Patterns
- Two circular slashes: Sif will hold the sword straight in their mouth. Dodge/Roll backwards to be safe. Can be blocked if you have a very good shield (both attacks combined will cause a guard break with heavy damage on most players). If you time it right you can dodge/roll through the attacks towards Sif and attack them.
- Jump slash backwards: Usually very powerful but can be blocked. Creates distance between Sif and the player, and thus is usually followed up by a Charge slash.
- Charge slash: Sif uses this when at medium-long range. Either dodge or block it if you have a good shield. Can be followed by a Sword Slam.
- Combo (3 moves): Slash from left to right, back, then a Sword Slam. Sif will stop the combo if the player is too far away.
- Sword Slam (Used after Charge slash or as part of the Combo): Rears up and slams sword straight down in front of himself. Powerful attack with long reach, but easily dodged by moving to the side.
- Hopping about, Sif's paws can hit you as they jump, but this does minimal damage. Still, if you're down to a sliver of life, it's something to consider.
Dodging and Blocking
- All Sif's attacks are very easy to block, simply lock on (take care as Sif will often jump out of lock range and you'll have to retarget) and hold up your shield. You can then walk/run underneath them or otherwise position yourself accordingly. Note Sif's double horizontal slash attack will drain a lot of stamina so if you are still early in the game or do not have a good shield and a fair amount of endurance (about 70 stability, 30 endurance) then you should roll at least the second attack if you cannot get out of its range. You should try to avoid the final vertical attack of Sif's 3-hit combo either way.
- To dodge Sif's attacks it is easiest to roll through them and underneath; Sif is unable to hit you here. Sif will jump away after various lengths of time and re-engage so you will likely have to do this multiple times during a fight. Note the backflip attack usually does not provide you with an opening to get under Sif. You can watch a video of a shieldless strategy here.
- As you can engage Sif much later in the game, you can equip a very heavy armour such as the Stone Set, use Iron Flesh and just tank up Sif's attacks. With a good weapon and a bit of Vitality you can easily take Sif down before s/he kills you. Havel's Ring is recommended but not necessary.
When Sif jumps away it is a good chance to heal up, but be ready to block or dodge the next attack as soon as you finish.
As soon as you are able, get underneath the body and hack away at Sif's legs. If/when Sif backs up, make sure you stay under them, eventually Sif will jump away and re-engage you. Repeat as necessary. You can watch a video here
- For a longer but safer alternative, you can get a hit or two in at the end of some of Sif's combos. Learn Sif's moveset and get a hit on him/her in the appropriate windows. A good window is during the final vertical attack of Sif's three-hit combo as if you are right up against Sif it will not hit you.
- Recommended spells are Combustion, Great Chaos Fireball, Soul Spear or Dark Bead. Homing spells such as Homing Soulmass tend to miss due to Sif's high mobility.
- Do everything you can to keep yourself out of the range of the sword, but still within target lock range.
- Keep a lock on the wolf and attack whenever s/he jumps back, or after s/he starts to swing. Be sure you are ready to move again before Sif's next attack. The double circular swing gives you your widest window for tossing long-range damage at Sif.
- Suicide Bow Strategy - Just walk into the Boss area and get killed by Sif. Run back to the fog and and before you enter, turn left. There you will see a destroyed wall that slopes upwards, jump on it and start shooting at Sif. Your vision may be obscured by some leaves, but you can shoot arrows through them. You can also poison Sif using Poison Arrows. You can watch a video here.

Justin Vance Turner, 28, was located by police in Taupo at
12.30pm today.
Police were called by members of the public who noticed
Turner acting suspiciously near a wharf.
Detectives from Auckland are travelling to Taupo today to
speak to him.
At this stage he has not been charged, but Auckland City
Police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty said appropriate charges
would be considered by the Operation Gridley team, who have
been investigating Mr Hussain's brutal death.
A warrant to arrest Turner for murder was issued in the
Auckland District Court yesterday and police in Taupo used
that to lock him up today.
No information was available about how Turner got to Taupo or
how long he had been there.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- A local couple donated $1 million to the University of Arizona for a proposed practice facility that will incorporate the name of Shawntinice Polk, a star women's basketball player who died of a pulmonary blood clot last month.
One of the practice facility's two courts will be named after Polk. The facility itself, which will be put in near McKale Center within two years, does not yet have a name.
"We realize a lot of kids wouldn't go to college if not for athletics. So when they announced they wanted to improve their facilities, we wanted to help," said Coleman Davis, who made the
donation along with his wife, Jeannie. "Then the tragedy with
'Polkey' happened, and we thought what a great opportunity, because here is a young lady who exemplified what you can do if you get a
"Maybe she wouldn't have gotten an opportunity if somebody didn't reach out a hand. But they reached out, and she took advantage of it. We just think she is a great example for other
Polk battled back from academic ineligibility to become a
popular star for the Wildcats on and off the basketball court. She
died Sept. 26 after collapsing at McKale Center.
Arizona women's basketball coach Joan Bonvicini was planning
Polk's memorial service with UA officials on Sept. 27 when athletic
director Jim Livengood and senior associate AD Chris Del Conte
pulled her out of a meeting and told her about the gift.
"They told me these people donated a million in her name, and I
just cried," Bonvicini said. "They never met Polkey before. But
they read the articles and were touched by what was said."

Hey guys
I'm experiencing issues with my pixel shader. As soon as I apply any color change to ONLY SOME BUT NOT ALL pixels (e.g. only to specified materials) I'm getting weird artifacts in the sky (I heard some call that "shader ghosting"):
This happens only in the projected sky cube texture and only unless all pixels are processed equally with the same amount of color change.
Any ideas why this happens and what could be done to avoid it?

Belfegor's bang on the money. If you write to a pixel, everything's good as the old stuff is overwritten. If you don't, you keep whatever was there.

Thanks. It turned out that I can avoid the ghosting by restricting my shader processing to pixels with alpha equals 1 (Color.a). Since sky seems to have lower alpha channel in my game, it will not be processed at all thus preventing it to draw those awful artifacts.

All the best,
Nice theme!! Not sure if you're aware, but in English slang nob-less means something different altogether – made me chuckle anyway
Hello and Thanks!
Indeed!! I didnt separate the letters .. this is quite funny.
Thanks for the heads up.
Great theme disgogo! elegant, smooth…... may i ask you 2 questions? 1. does it supports different bg for every page?(if not can u do it?) 2. does it support selfhosted videos such as mp4 & flv? opening with lightbox? (if not can u do it?) good luck with sales… best regards Takis
Hello and Thanks,
1. It has not a built in option to do this, but every page has an auto generated unique class so you can attach a background easily via css.
2. It supports quicktime, swf, vimeo and youtube links (see here: http://http-solutions.com/themes/noblesse/mixed-gallery-photo-videoswf/)
Is this a only Worpress theme or is theire a HTML version also included? Thanks and great job !
Hello and thanks! This is only WP. Html ver does not exist. Regards
hi and thank you for your answer…..can u modify the theme to support also selfhosted videos such as mp4 & flv?.......many of themeforest customers ask also for this feature!.....thank you in advance best regards Takis
Hello, I will implement a shortcode for an embedded video player to make things simpler. But, this will happen at the begining of next week.

Nice! I like it! good luck with the sales!
Glad you like it. It's my pride so far
All the best,
LOVE IT ! Will be purchasing in the new year? Any updates planned soon so I can hold off a bit?
Hello and Happy New Year! It's too soon to announce any updates.I need to have more feedback. But, don't worry the updates will not affect the core of the theme. Best regards,Cristian
They wont interfere with the content right?
Possibly add a styler where we can make a custom skin. Also can the contact form have more fields added?
Also how hard is it to edit the logo. Is there an upload feature in the admin menu?
Pics of admin panel?
You can make your own style of course, assuming that you have css/php experience. Same for the contact form. If you cant manage to do that in code you can easily use a plugin.
The logo has upload options in theme admin.
Here are the admin pics: http://http-solutions.com/themes/noblesse/admin-pics/
Sorry … , i didnt see you posted before.
Thanks, Cristian
very helpful thank you. Just to clarify the contact box has preset data/fields and you would need to know how to code to add more. Sorry I am not familiar with all these things.
Yes, that's correct. It's not that difficult … But, you can always use a plugin that has the form fields configurable via admin (like Contact Form 7).
I was just in the process of purchasing another template and I came across this one. Wow! I love it. I changed my mind and I'm purchasing yours. This looks amazing. I can't wait to start putting it to work. Thanks for the great work.
Thanks for a great comment! I hope you will enjoy it.
All the best,
A slightly innapropriate name for a theme
Looks brilliant though, hope it does well
Only if you separate the letters . If not, i guess it's a beautiful name.
Thanks for your comment.
All the best,
Hello, i have some problems, with featured images they just wont shop up not in post not in pages and not in the Featured Posts. Please Help
The only problem that can rise is that you didn't put 0777 permissions on the cache folder. Theme installation is explained in the beginning of the documentation.
If you still have problems please post an URL .
All the best, Cristian
Hi i made the cache folder to 777 but it wont work url http://www.masterscripts.info Also as you can see the url on the trmslan shop image won't work neither..
Can you please look into this problem since my site is live and it aint not nice this way Thanks
Please make sure that wp-content has appropriate permissions. Your image URL says that the image cant be found. That means that wordpress cant read the folder. If still doenst work please send me by email your ftp details and a temporary wordpress admin login.
Thanks, Cristian
fixed hosting did not accept 0777 only 755 thanks
Hi, disgogo!
Really nice work! Thanks for the credits and Good luck with sales!
Thanks Sergei!
Very nice script you pulled there. Keep up the good work.
Best, Cristian
any discounts for Romanians? Excellent work!
We are not allowed to make discounts on the themes. Use the deposit system, it will be a little cheaper .
Thanks, Cristian
Hey there Disgogo! Once again great looking template. But i'm having a little problem. I can't upload the template. I've spent the last 2 days trying. It starts to upload and gets 3/4 the way through and then just hangs there. It wont complete the upload. Would that have anything to do with the fact that I'm using WP 3 .0.3?
The people at ThemeForest put a nice tutorial here (http://wiki.envato.com/buying/support-buying/solving-broken-theme-issues/) on how to upload the themes.
Also, you can upload the theme easily via FTP (make a google search).
I hope you'll manage to install it fast.
All the best, Cristian
HTML version would be nice too. think about it please. Nice design.
I'm already considering it .
Best, Cristian
Disgogo, thank you for your insight. It worked like a charm. I'm up and running now. : )
Thanks again.
Great! I hope you'll enjoy it.
Best, Cristian

Literacy news
WWE® Superstar makes an impact in Nottingham secondary school
23 Nov 2011
Last week, WWE® Superstar and World Tag-Team Champion, Kofi Kingston paid a visit to Ellis Guilford School in Nottingham to speak about the importance of being able to communicate well.
The visit was organised as part of the ongoing partnership between the National Literacy Trust and WWE®, who are committed to working together to raise the profile of literacy by using the WWE® Superstars and Divas as role models.
During his visit, Kofi told an excited audience of Year 7 and 8 students that having good communication skills and being able to present himself in a positive way was one of the main reasons for his success, and that it was these skills that made him stand out from other candidates when he tried out for the WWE®. He also spoke about his love of reading, and mentioned that he wished he'd started reading earlier in life so that he hadn't "wasted so much time not reading".
The impact the WWE® visit has made on the school has been great to see. Kofi created a buzz amongst both pupils and staff that is still evident a week on. Katherine Davison, Learning Resource Centre Manager, said
"It was thrilling to see the impact Kofi made during his visit to the school. He was a true role model and it started students thinking straight away about their own dreams and aspirations. He made them realise that reading is important in all aspects of life, as is being a good communicator - these skills will make you a better person in the long run… [the event] has done plenty to raise the profile of reading and the work of the literacy team across the school."
Other staff members commented:
"It was a feel-good event, the students have been inspired and it has affected the spirits of a whole community".
The last word goes to a Year 7 student who, following the assembly, was inspired to write to Kofi:
"It was the best assembly in my whole life."

Police 'stretched to capacity' as they are forced to carry out work of ambulance service nearly every day
- As police and ambulance crews both face cuts, calls for the Government to address problem
- Pregnant woman who had been assaulted was told she would have to wait four hours for an ambulance
Police are increasingly having to take patients to hospital instead of ambulance crews
Police are being 'stretched to near capacity' because they are taking patients to hospital instead of ambulance crews, a national officers' group warned today.
Steve Williams, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said officers were increasingly having to cover when an ambulance was required after an accident or crime.
In some forces, officers are taking patients to hospital nearly every day.
Mr Williams said: 'We are noticing that the need for police to respond to emergency ambulance calls is no longer an isolated one.
'This is concerning in a time where resources for the police are stretched to near capacity.
'Let me be clear - the police will continue to respond to those who need us as soon as possible, and if this means responding when the ambulance service is unable to do so, then we will support our partners and the public eagerly.
'However, there remains a wider point here for Government and the emergency services in terms of the risk in not addressing the resourcing issue and wider public safety concerns.
'We would welcome Government's view as to how they will help us to address the problem.'
The police group leader spoke after concerns were raised about ambulance services in the east of England.
Mr Smith said: 'We are having to convey to hospital almost daily in Essex at the moment.
'We are not pointing the finger at paramedics and ambulance crews, they are going through cuts as the police are going through cuts.
'The paramedics and ambulance staff join to do a job and I feel they, like us, are not able to do the job in the best way they can to serve the public.'
Concerns have been raised about ambulance services in the east of England (file picture)
He revealed how he learned of a case about about a pregnant woman who had been assaulted was told she would have to
wait four hours for an ambulance.
She was taken to hospital in a police car which had to keep stopping so she could vomit because she was in pain.
Mr Smith said:
'We are trained to give basic life support, we are not paramedics. We
can hold the fort until trained professionals turn up.
'If they're not turning up and we've got seriously injured people we're not going to let those people down.
'But police officers have their own job to do and while we are conveying people to hospital we cannot do that job, and if the vehicle is covered in blood then it will be off the road.
'I want to raise this now and tell people what's happening so it can be tackled before people have to die.'
There is no upper limit on the time it takes paramedics to get patients to hospital (file picture)
Thousands of the most seriously ill emergency patients are being forced to travel further to hospital in ambulances following a swathe of A&E closures and downgrades.
Figures obtained by The Mail on Sunday last month show that the number of patients with life-threatening conditions taking longer than 30 minutes to reach A&E has rocketed by an average of 37 per cent in two years.
Most of these people will be transported by 'blue light' ambulance – so the extra journey time means they are being transported further than ever to access emergency care.
Figures from ambulance trusts across England show a rise of up to 63 per cent in just two years in the number of priority Category A patients spending 30 minutes or more on the road after being collected by paramedics.
Such patients are so ill that trusts have a legal requirement to get paramedics to 95 per cent of cases within eight minutes. But there is no upper limit on the time it takes to get them to hospital.
The shocking rise in journey times has been attributed to the closure and downgrading of A&E departments, with some operating limited opening hours.
But it also shows the effect of the Government's policy to introduce major trauma networks, which means some of the most seriously ill patients go to specialist centres rather than the closest local casualty department.
While paramedics are highly trained and can perform life-saving techniques, the disclosure still raises fears that patients are being put at risk by such policies.
Hope Daley, of trade union Unison, which represents ambulance workers, said: 'Alarm bells should be ringing in the Government and the Department of Health about this shocking rise in the time it takes seriously ill people to get to hospital.
'Patients need fast, efficient treatment without having to wait in pain. The financial straitjacket on the NHS is leading to A&E units up and down the country closing or reducing their hours to daytime only. The Government must see that its policies are damaging the ability of the NHS to care properly for patients.'
A Mail on Sunday investigation uncovered 33 hospital emergency departments which have either already been closed or downgraded, or are under threat of closure.
Senior NHS executive Mike Farrar warned that the public must accept the closures if the health service is to survive and called on politicians to back the changes. But many MPs are preparing to join campaigns and protest marches in their constituencies against the unpopular moves.
Doctors are still largely divided on the issue. While some claim the changes will improve patient care and mortality rates, others insist it puts patients at risk and dismantles the NHS.
