Director of Athletics Mario Moccia
June 17, 2014
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southern Illinois University Director of Athletics Mario Moccia was one of four panelists who led a discussion on the current state of college football, during last week's annual convention of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).
Some of the key issues discussed were the safety and welfare of student-athletes, particularly regarding concussions, and the enhancements that have been made to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The other ADs on the panel were Rob Mullens (University of Oregon), Debbie Yow (North Carolina State) and Tim Leonard (Towson State).
Moccia said the NCAA has instituted a series of rules changes that will benefit the health of football players, including longer recovery and acclimation periods during preseason camps, the allowance of meals and snacks that are incidental to participation, mandatory specific certification of strength coaches, and better sickle cell trait identification.
"One of the biggest concerns is concussions, and you've seen entities from the Presidential level to the National Football League to the NCAA take this issue of concussions very seriously," Moccia said.
He noted that the NCAA and the Department of Defense each put forward $15 million for a research study on helmet safety. The NCAA is also conducting studies to determine the safety of kickoffs to better protect athletes from high-speed collisions.
Speaking on NCAA governance matters, Moccia said the Salukis are benefitting from some of the improvements he has long advocated for the FCS level. Interest in the expanded FCS Playoffs is at an all-time high as evidenced by an increase in TV coverage and a sold-out 2013 championship game. In terms of finances, the Playoffs ranked among the top 10 in revenue out of 89 NCAA-sponsored postseason events.

I have a question which I'm sure has a simple solution, but it keeps eluding me.
There's a server in the picture that is used by several people.
All of them use the same account to log in.
The only way to differentiate sessions would be by hostname or IP.
So - How to see, on the remote computer, a hostname of the client connected?
For example, I RDP in to the server 2184.108.40.206 from my IP 218.104.22.168.
Is there a command I could run on the server in that remote session that will output 2188.8.131.52?
I ask because it would be good if that command would output 2184.108.40.206 when person connects from that other IP.
So I can put it in startup and whenever someone connects script like this would run:
gethostname >> rdplog.txt
date /t >> rdplog.txt
time /t >> rdplog.txt
So this can basically equal to a very simple login log.
Thanks for reading! :-)

nancy (Registered User)letsget the heat so desperetally needed for the tenants of 1472 Beach ave . These landlords need to be held accountable ,and not with a summonsor fine . the landlords of these buildings are getting away with causing a real tragedy in this city. so often we hear about a fire iside of an apt. and it just goes unnoticed . from where i am sitting i believe many of these fires would be halted if they had heat and hot water as opposed to using the need for there oven,stove and space heaters. tenants are suffering because ofd neglagence of their landlord. while the elderlly,sick,children and those who need to get to work, there landlord gets away with a slap on the wrist. it really is sickenning and the landlords need to pay-up. it seems that the laws need to be changed. mabe the landlord/owner should be thrown in jail or better yet be orderded by the court to live in the building that is in question. but unbtil then people are freezing , this being one of the coldest in a long time . so, please, people take notice if you are electied efficials this is what we, the people , vote you in office for . help those with no heat/hot water, and make the fine into jail time for the owners of these unkept buildings

BAD LANDLORDS! ► Archived1535 Taylor Ave Bronx, NYWell the heat came and went just as fast. There was another cold evening/morning here at 1535 Taylor ave.

I can't understand how the L.L. ,[MILBANK REAL ESTATE], does not go to jail. This is like holding the tenants hostage in a cave.

nancy (Registered User)This is great ,heat and hot water . its true you don't know what you have..... As it seems so simple, to have warmth in the winter ,yet it took 2yrs and this site to get the right people and solve this issue. THANK YOU all . One of the windows, on the 3rd fl. was fixed. Milbank Real Estate borrowed money, bought thes building,1535 Taylor av.,took the tenants rents, sent to california, and turned this building into a dump. This is where I live and where children play, and there are apts where the entire apt was stripped and a board put in front. other apts where no one lives so they strip that down and use it for garbage . these halls are so dirty that the sidewalk is cleaner. there is a board over one of the windows. This is a shame there is a city playground across, the street, and a public school, PS102, on that same block. If the adults around these children don't care ,how can those children know the difference. It is a bad thing to get cought up in a building with a BAD LANDLORD

heatwatchnyc (Guest)Hi Jason,
I hope living conditions in your building continue to improve. Thank you for sharing your good news.
Closed nancy (Guest)I am closing the issue of this neglitfullowner'{MILBANK R.E.],because it took thislandlord to get enough violations that this owner went into forclouser. I believe that this site, click fix and the entire network of watchers, to get this landlord out and a new management to take over with the reciever. If I had not found this site I the work being done in the apt ,including mine, to be fixed. I live here at 1535 Taylor ave for 81/2 yrs. There has been leaks, no heat,hot water, floors caving in, broken tiles in the bathroom fl. & walls. Now that the city along with HPD, & the reciever my apt is looking like a place where it is acceptable to live, no more mold or any of the othe hazord conditions I had been living in . As a person with health issues I can now relax & thank the people who helped make this happen, also to thank God. once again I am very greatful to this site and those agencys who are watching.
still cold! ► Archived1535 Taylor Ave. Bronx, NYthis has gone on just way too long, it is still cold , and the tenants are begining to show frustration. There is only so much we can do as tenants in a building that has been neglected. There needs to be a law setting a landlord responsable , its a shame that the tenants who pay their rent, should be spending $$ on space heaters, gas from their ovens & stoves to heat water . This is not the 1920, 30's or even 70's , it's 2011 and this city cannot hold a landlord accountable for providing the heat, hot water ,safe & clean apts and halls. This is beyond neglectiful it is criminal. There is a real chance of a dangerious sitituation here. MILBANK REAL ESTATE is to blame . Please help the tenants from the youngest to the oldest to sleep in a warm apt & wake to hot water to wash for school, work, doc. apts ,ect. .
Nancy (Guest)"Still cold" can now be closed . I want to thank the click fix team for the help I needed when the cold wenter was apon us. I think I would get through the cold weather but because of the get work that this site brings into focus the landlord , who was , milbank r.e.. Now that the city has given and taken a good look into the practices of the landlord the building went into forclouser.Because of this there is now a reciever and a different management. They came in repaired the boiler, and put oil , giving us at 1535 Taylor ave the heat and hot water. Just to add another note my apt. is now being givina total makeover, this being the 8th yr. living here and never getting not a paint , so onceagain THANK YOU.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I can never pass up a romantic comedy--no matter how bad they can get. It's a genre that can be extremely accessible--looking at stories about love, friendships and family--but it is also one that can get stuck within in its own conventions and reinforce gross stereotypes about love, gender and sex.
At the Los Angeles Film Festival, I watched, Forev, the feature debut of directors/writers Molly Green and James Leffler. It is the most refreshing romantic comedy that I've seen in a long time. The film follows Sophie (Noel Wells) and Pete (Matt Mider)--neighbors in a Los Angeles apartment building who don't really interact with one another. Sophie, a struggling actress, is frustrated with the audition process and when Pete mentions a 6 hour drive to pick up his sister Jess (Amanda Bauer) from college, she jumps at the chance to escape Los Angeles--even temporarily. The attraction between the two is obvious and when a joke about marriage comes up on the ride--things quickly escalate.
The thought of not having to date awful people, being able to share rent and groceries and the possibilities of companionship are so great to Sophie and Pete that they decide to go for it. Before you know it, they are engaged, stuck in the middle of the desert after their car breaks down with the disapproving Jess and they can't quite figure out how to express their feelings to one another.
Forev is a romantic comedy that subverts the genre by being true to the messy, unsure area of budding relationships. Sometimes you don't know what you want and even when you do you don't know how to say it. As Forev captures, figuring out what you want in love and relationships can be the scariest thing of all.
Women and Hollywood got the chance to interview the awesome team of ladies behind Forev--director and writer Molly Green and producers Stephanie Dziczek and Meg Charlton.
Women and Hollywood: I really loved the movie. I liked that it was a romantic comedy, but took a very non-romantic comedy edge. What was your inspiration to create a movie like this when the genre is so stagnant and boring right now?
Molly Green: James, who is my writing and directing partner, he and I love romantic comedies. But, obviously it's a genre that is sort of tough. People don't give it the respect it deserves and people don't make the movies that the genre deserves. We felt like we wanted to make a romantic comedy that was real to us and was real to our experiences. We wanted to take the romantic comedy and do something slightly different with it. That was the goal. Watching it now, there are things that work and things that didn't, we were really just playing around with it. We wanted to do something in that genre that had an edge to it.
WaH: This is your first feature. How was that experience for you?
MG: It was the most fun and difficult thing I could ever conceive of in my entire life, I think for all of us. You know what you are getting into, but you don't really know what you are getting into. You are in the middle of the desert, trying to figure out how people are going to eat dinner and how to get an RV unstuck from the sand.
Meg Charlton: It's the most wonderful and the most miserable thing you've ever done in your life. It was fantastic, but I remember a quote I think Mark Duplass said "Every movie is a miracle." I feel that way about Forev. A year ago during the premiere, we were washing the RV which was also lodging for multiple people and a set. Getting stuck in the sand, literally in the middle of the desert, and thinking this might not come together. It's really gratifying seeing everyone's work up on screen.
Stephanie Dziczek: It also feels really safe to make a first feature with your friends. It feels like no one is going to judge me because I don't know exactly what I'm doing, because we are all sort of in it together. I can't imagine what it would be like to do this with strangers. For example, the RV wasn't supposed to do that. Sorry, guys.
WaH: Was this your first time producing a feature? How was that experience for you?
MC: It was different for both of us. It was a really small crew, with the complete cast there were only 12 of us on set at any given time. It was very different from producing a large scale film, it was very small. But, it felt big to us. It was a crazy experience, but it was such a learning curve and it was so fantastic ultimately. We both came out of it.
SD: One of the executive producers of 40 Years from Yesterday, Stu Pollard, is a filmmaker from Kentucky, where I am from. I remember going to a Q&A in college and asking "How do you make indie movies? What is that like?" And this poor guy stayed after everyone left, past midnight, he was bleary-eyed and answered all my questions. I went back to my dorm that night and was like, "guys, before I die, I'm going to make a movie." I knew I had the spirit. Then I did film development for a few years, which is probably like the worst place to be if you want to actually make a movie. Then I went to commercial production, which gave me all the tools I needed—this is how sound mix works, this is how an edit works. It gave me the skills to combine with a knowledge of film. I was really excited to tackle a completely worthwhile project for people I care about.
WaH: In the press materials you said that you wanted something that felt true to the reality of relationships specifically the confusion and uncertainty of them. That spoke to me and I was wondering if you could talk about that.
MG: It's a romantic comedy. But, in a lot of romantic comedies, everything is very black and white. It's been my experience that relationships are never black and white and always are just a complete mess of gray. James and I really wanted to find a way as a guy/girl team to feel what both people were going through and to see the pros and the cons of both characters. I think that having a male and female perspective together helped to make it a two-sided thing. It's not typical, but it worked, I think.
MC: Molly, what was it like being one of the few female directors in this boy's club?
MG: I'm used to it at this point. I went to film school and a lot of the time I was the only girl in the film production class. There are some moments where it's tough and you feel isolated and other times it feels like I have 15 brothers helping out. But it is great to meet another female director. I also think it's great that there are more female directors. I don't know about you guys, but there are more shows that I can relate to like Girls on HBO, a show that feels like my life. Finally!

Now I want to find out only the digits from the string. I need the values 9,4, or such things and ignore the '-' . I tried the following:
strArray= strignId.split("-");
but it gets error, since there are multiple '-' and I don't get my output. So what function of java should be used?

Possible Bug with resizable when using constrainTo
I am playing around with a resizable image (that is draggable) and having it constrained to a container element.
If you goto this link: http://www.qwikioffice.com/resizable/test.html
you will notice the following:
1.) When the page loads you can drag the image around, and it is constrained to the container (light grey backround).
2.) But if you resize the image and then drag it around the container, you can see that the constraint is tied to the original dimensions of the image.
Is This a possible bug? If not... how can keep the image properly constrained within the container during and after a resize?

Tense week ahead for UN climate talks
This week in Poland, the United Nations climate talks will resume in a tense atmosphere. Among the most controversial discussion topics, the parties will focus on reduction of emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases that scientists say are warming the planet. Last week, a delegate from the Philippines addressed the delegates in a tearful call for action after Typhoon Haiyan devastated his country.
Two decades of talks to reduce the gas emission were stalled when Australia and Japan refused to sign onto voluntary emissions targets and cut back emissions. Brazil also announced that the destruction of Amazonian forest has increased dramatically this year. Scientists, environmental activists and UN officials agreed that humans are affecting the climate system and time is running out to rein in emissions to avoid disastrous consequences for the planet.

Africa Fails to Get Kenya ICC Trials deferred at United Nations
The African Union unsuccessfully pushed for a UN Security Council Resolution seeking to defer the trials of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Vice President William Ruto at the International Criminal Court. Both men are facing charges of crimes against humanity stemming from the 2007 post-election violence in Kenya.
The African Union made the request to allow the Kenyan leaders to deal with the situation in Kenya following the terrorist attack on the Westgate mall. The Resolution, made pursuant to Article 16 of the Rome Statute, which gives the UN Security Council the power to seek a one-year deferral, only obtained seven votes in favor while eight states abstained. Following the unsuccessful vote, the Kenyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that those who abstained showed "clear cowardice in the face of a critical African matter."

Universal Children's Day – November 20
Universal Children's Day, celebrated annually on November 20, marks the anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Acknowledging this year's Universal Children's Day, five top United Nations experts on children's rights called on governments to make protection from violence against children a priority in the post-2015 development agenda and to commit to provide proper funding to carry out the agenda. The post-2015 development framework provides an opportunity to prevent all forms of violence against children and ensure that perpetrators of crimes committed against children are prosecuted. The experts further called on governments to provide adequate resources to protect children and create child protection programs that would address root causes of violence against children, to promote universal access to social services, and to safeguard the rights of children in need of assistance.

Faced with a difficult revenue situation, the government on Wednesday warned the tax evaders to pay up their dues on time or be prepared to face strict penalty.
Urging the evaders of excise, customs and service tax to make correct payment of taxes, revenue secretary Sumit Bose said with real time information being available it is not difficult for the tax authorities to reach the doors of those who are evading tax payment.
We are keeping a very close watch on such elements. They are advised to come forward and pay all taxes and avail of the benefit of reduced penalty, he said adding that those who fail to pay excise duty will face provisional attachment of property, arrest and prosecution, suspension of Cenvat credit and 100 per cent penalty and interest.
The move comes in the backdrop of moderate growth in the indirect tax collection and the daunting task of meeting the revised fiscal deficit target of 5.3 per cent of the GDP.
Bose said many central excise assesses are removing goods clandestinely, and misusing Cenvat credit while more than half of the service providers who are registered are not filing returns.
A number of service providers who should be paying service tax now have not yet registered themselves, he said adding that all services were made taxable from the July 1, 2012, except those in the negative list and exempted services.

As we invest about one third of our lifestyles resting, and insufficient rest is an aspect in various wellness issues, it seems sensible to invest money on something that will help offer the best night's rest possible. Most beds are either created with steel rises (like our old one) or with orthopedic. Springs help offer excellent air flow, but can make unpleasant stress factors.
Octaspring mattress have been confirmed to be 9 TIMES more allow air through than conventional orthopedic beds, this means a chilly, more relaxing night's rest for you, and verification that our new allow air through orthopedic spring technology symbolizes an enormous revolution in rest items, with all the advantages of current bed mattress technological innovation and none of the disadvantages.
In a previous consumer research, carried out in the US, 80% of 600 individuals who rested on an Octasprings bed mattress, evaluating to both pocket spring and conventional orthopedic, found Octasprings to be more comfortable and have better assistance. We're pleased to be able to back this up more technically thanks to these recent assessments.
Octasprings provided the outcomes of a recently requested research that exposed that its beds and cushions have nine times the "breathability" and rest Four times "cooler" than other major froth and multiple items available on the industry. Survey outcomes were provided at the forth-coming Summer Las Vegas Market.
The research was performed by TUV Rheinland, an separate examining and documentation body centered in Netherlands. Outcome was determined following a sequence of assessments analyzing air flow and warm exchange qualities. The Octasprings beds were compared with a sequence of rest items that feature the components and qualities typically recognized by other major producers.
These research outcomes strengthen what we have known all along, Octasprings is changing the way individuals rest. Our impressive orthopedic springs brings together the advantages of visco and innerspring in one product and is confirmed to be more allow air through and rests chilly than other beds available on the industry.
The company's outcomes in the air flow assessments revealed that Octasprings beds and cushions have greater breathability and are Four times chilly than conventional orthopedic beds calculated from the rest surface and nine times chilly from the side. The air flow analyze was designed to evaluate air-flow through the bed mattress by calculating stress. Each bed mattress was calculated consistently. As air was pulled through the bed mattress in a set area, air flow was calculated depending on how much effort it took circulation it in a certain period of time — the reduced the stress, the better the air flow.
In addition, the warm exchange assessments exposed that Octasprings rating was five out of ten, meaning it's not too hot and not too cold, guaranteeing the bed mattress will keep an individual at a maximum heat range the whole night. The warm exchange analyze indicates how warm reduces through a bed mattress and is performed by determining the temperatures on the upper and reduced sides of the bed mattress and then determining the difference in heat range, which is called warm resistance.

WIll I get my CPDP points for Mehsud's tragically young passing when TMIB awards them on the DDP? Or is enough evidence in place already?
TMIB, Considering the foul mouthed email I got when I awarded points (rightly) for Baitullah Mehsud's death 3 days too early, you're best off waiting. Lord alone knows you have enough to do at the moment...
I'm going to wait until either TMIB awards them or someone else on the CPDP dies I think. Hopefully either option allows for the dust to clear on the issue.
He hasn't been counted in "other" deathpools that I'm in...given history, I think everyone is waiting for them to admit that he is dead. It would be different if this was December but we have plenty on time.

The trailer, flanking a small herd of junked cars and trucks, caught my attention with a silver glint of reflected midday sun as I drove by. Had it been a small home, a work shed, an unrealized dream of carefree cross-country travel now shored up off the side of this pin-straight country road? Lulled into complacency by the lack of a "no trespassing"sign, I was properly startled by the sudden loud mooing of the two large, hidden cows, the backside of whose home I was unwittingly photographing. ~ Corey Kohn

Honda Delivers Hydrogen-Powered FCX Fuel Cell Car to City of Chula Vista
The city of Chula Vista will lease the vehicle for a period of two years and will operate the FCX on a regular daily basis as part of their normal operations. The FCX will be refueled at a publicly accessible hydrogen station already operated by the city on their property. The placement of this FCX in tandem with the public accessibility of hydrogen fuel expands the geographical range for some of Honda's existing FCX customers, including the city of Los Angeles, city of San Francisco and California's South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
"The foresight and diligence shown by the city of Chula Vista concerning
fuel cell development is commendable and Honda is pleased to have them as our
next customer for the fuel cell powered FCX," said Gunnar Lindstrom, senior
manager of Alternative Fuel Vehicles at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
The Honda FCX is the world's first and only fuel cell car to be certified by the U.S. EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the only fuel cell vehicle in regular daily operation with multiple customers in the U.S. and Japan. CARB has certified the FCX as Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV). In addition, the Honda FCX is also the only fuel cell vehicle to appear in the 2003 and 2004 EPA Fuel Economy Guide. The FCX has a range of up to 160 miles and seating for four people, making it practical for a wide range of real-world applications. In 2004, the city of San Francisco leased two cars, joining the City of Los Angeles (five vehicles) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (two vehicles) as FCX customers. Additionally, the city of Los Angeles will celebrate its two year anniversary as Honda's first ever fuel cell customer on December 2, 2004.
Honda undertook fuel cell research in 1989 and has been road testing vehicles
in the United States since 1999. Honda has also been a member of the California
Fuel Cell Partnership based in Sacramento, Calif., since 1999.
Honda Fuel Cell Technology Milestones

Winding Rubber Motors
An article by John Kagan from Model Aviation Oct 2008
WINDING RUBBER "motors" is another one of the Indoor FF art forms. Peak performance is heavily dependent on winding the most energy into a motor, but go too far, and snap! You have two smaller, useless bits.
After breaking a motor, it is common to hear the oh-so-helpful advice: "back off one"—a sarcastic suggestion to unwind to the point just before it broke. Getting the maximum amount of energy into, and then back out of, a motor is a tricky feat, but here are tips that can actually help before it' s too late.
Use rubber lube. Lubricating the motor before winding prevents chafing that will cause it to break prematurely, and it lets more energy in and back out.
Rubber lube has traditionally involved special concoctions and guarded secrets. In times past, the preferred formula involved a base of glycerin and green soap. For many who grew up with it, that distinctive scent means "model airplanes" as nothing else does. It is still a decent choice, and it has the advantage that it can be washed off the motor if required.
These days, though, most people use some form of silicone emulsion/solution. It lasts a long time on the motor, doesn't weigh much, and is extremely slick. It is so slippery that care must be taken to find a knot that won't come undone. Some knots that work with glycerin and green soap will untie themselves before your eyes when silicone lube is used. Silicone is available in many products, from hair spray to vinyl conditioner. My top-secret lube involves pouring Armor All (original formula) in a shallow pan and leaving it for several days until the liquid changes from milky white to a viscous clear. Put it in a dropper bottle and go fly.
Another surefire tip is to stretch the motor as you wind. It helps the knots stack evenly and allows more turns to be packed in.
How far to stretch and how fast to come in is a matter of opinion. For volatile rubber batches (such as 7/97), it helps to use a moderate stretch and come in well before the motor gets tight. This reduces the chance of overtaxing the motor and starting any notches that might cause it to break in flight. Then bring it up to peak torque once you've reached the desired final length.
For sturdier batches, I get better times when I keep the motor taut. It is easiest to watch the motor rather than the torque meter during most of the wind. Start coming in when the knots stack up, which happens at intervals. If done right, you end up with a rubber motor that has a neat row of knots and minimal "grapevining" (scraggly little sections sticking out on the sides).
The speed of the wind is also a matter of opinion. Indoor legend Jim Richmond takes forever, using roughly a 10:1 ratio winder. I vary but often find that winding more quickly gives me a better feel.
Either way, you want to go slower near the end. The beginning is less sensitive, but packing in the last few turns can be delicate. Slowing down lets the torque even out across the motor and may even dissipate built-up heat.
You can actually watch the torque drop as you let it sit after the first few times you bring it to peak torque. Repeat until the torque stays at the peak.
This brings us to using a torque meter, which is not much more than a wire, an indicator needle, and a dial face. You can build one fairly easily by referring to the article on the Indoor Model Specialties Web site (see the source list for the address) or buying a kit for not too much loot from Peck-Polymers. (Contact information is in the source list.)
A torque meter will help you approach a motor's maximum energy storage without going over. Test a piece of similar-size rubber to failure, and you will have an upper limit. Just remember that a motor's maximum torque will go down as it stretches and gets thinner after successive uses.
A torque meter will also give you a good way to back off turns to avoid outflying a given site with fixed-pitch classes. For maximum-duration flights, wind to max torque and then back off the peak portion of the torque curve. Backing down to a given torque, rather than just removing a certain number of winds, is an accurate way to hit your height target.
Finally, use 0-rings. The ones we use are cut from hard plastic such as high-pressure tubing, nylon pushrods, or even plastic ice cream push-up sticks.
The rings are threaded onto the motor before tying and allow a fully wound motor to be transferred to the model without losing turns. It also keeps tight, slippery motors from zipping between your fingers and thrashing your model. (Guess how I know.)
If any of these tips are new to you, try 'em the next time you fly and see if they don't help improve your times!

J/AZh/88/954 Geometry of radio pulsar magnetospheres (Malov+, 2011)
The geometry of radio pulsar magnetospheres. Malov I.F., Nikitina E.B. <Astron. Zh. 88, 954 (2011)> =2011AZh....88..954M =2011ARep...55..878M
ADC_Keywords: Pulsars ; Radio sources ; Morphology Abstract: Data on the profiles and polarization of the 10- and 20-cm emission of radio pulsars are used to calculate the angle β between the rotational axis of the neutron star and its magnetic moment. It is shown that, for these calculations, it is sufficient to use catalog values of the pulse width at the 10% level W10, since the broadening of the observed pulses due to the transition to the full width W0 and narrowing of the pulses associated with the emission of radiation along tangents to the field lines approximately cancel each other out. The angles β1 are calculated for 283 pulsars at 20cm and 132 pulsars at 10cm, assuming that the line of sight passes through the center of the emission cone. File Summary:

In Mississippi "riverboat" has become a dirty word. When people hear it, they think of the early days of legalized gambling, around 1992, when promoters were sticking anything that floats on the water and jamming it full of slot machines.
These garbage-scow smoke dens had low ceilings, with unsteady plank walkways, and they pitched and yawed in the water, disorienting the bibulous blackjack players.
Today every new casino is built on a "hidden" barge that's so huge it obscures the river entirely, usually by putting hotel towers around the entrance. The words "river" and "boat" are never used in casino marketing, because if someone says "Let's go to a riverboat casino," the answer is usually, "No, thanks, I'd rather suffocate in my Yugo."
So why is there a giant riverboat casino in, of all places, Laughlin, Nevada? It's called the Colorado Belle, and it proudly promotes itself as a giant replica of a Mississippi paddlewheel riverboat. Not just a riverboat--a Mississippi riverboat! Actually, it's much fancier than any riverboat that ever plied the Mississippi, because it's completely fake. Its built on the banks of the Colorado River, but it's a 608-foot theme-park-style four-sided false front.
Obviously, riverboat-phobia has not yet reached Laughlin. This is the kind of place your grandma thinks of as cute. You want to put the words "ye olde" in front of every fixture-- "ye olde gaming parlor," "ye olde Captain's Table restaurant," "ye olde Southern-style poker room." The gaming area has lots of red-and-gold flocked wallpaper and golden-and-crystal chandeliers, a la the Hollywood saloons in Roy Rogers movies. The only concession they've made to the 21st century is the Boiler Room Brew Pub, a restaurant and bar built around the only micro- brewery in this part of the country, where they serve up a middling mild ale, a nice lager, and a stout that could be stouter.
"We're incredibly value-driven," says Jodi Piercey, the Belle's director of marketing.
Translation: it's cheap to stay here. In fact, you can get a three-day two-night vacation package for two people for $67, and that includes $10 in restaurant coupons, two free drinks, a cruise and other amenities, which comes out to around ten bucks per person per night. You can drive up cold on a Tuesday afternoon and probably get a room for $17. In many ways it's like the old Vegas, before it become a corporate-owned destination resort and room rates started averaging in the triple digits.
"The room rates still flash on the signs outside," says Jodi, who's so animated she can spit out statistics like an auctioneer. "In Vegas they never flash room rates on the Strip. Ninety-nine per cent of our customers come by car, and twenty-two per cent of them come from Arizona. Even though we're an hour from Vegas, they stop here because we're friendly. We're smaller. We're relaxed. And so our repeat visitor rate is over 50 per cent."
The Colorado Belle in Laughlin is built to look like a Mississippi riverboat casino at a time when real Mississippi casinos are doing everything they can to NOT look like riverboats. The Colorado Belle has basically two seasons. First come the "snowbirds" in the fall, who trundle down from the north in their RV's and keep coming until the River Run biker rally in April. (It's the fourth-largest biker event in the country, after Sturgis, S.D., Daytona, Fla., and Las Vegas, and it sells out all 11,000 Laughlin rooms months in advance.)
The second season, beginning in May, consists of crazed California Jet-Ski people, mostly SUV-driving families who bring all kinds of boating equipment and spend their days zipping around on the Colorado River. "Everyone in the casino is sunburned," says Jodi, "and the average age gets a little lower. It's not all 50 and up."
Because Laughlin is so far off the beaten path, with no dependable air service aside from twice daily flights to Phoenix, San Jose and Ontario, Calif., they rely on big destination events--blues festivals, professional rodeos, and in the summer a Formula One speedboat race called Laughlin River Days. These are all "low-roller" events, catering to slot-machine players and video pokerheads. Anyone who hasn't been to the west coast in a while has no idea how popular video poker has become, with a full 30 per cent of the Colorado Belle's 1300 coin-operated machines dedicated to that particular gambling habit.
But even with Laughlin hotels banding together to create as much hyper-activity as possible, the specter of Indian gaming in California looms large on the horizon. From Los Angeles, you have to drive past six Indian casinos to get to Laughlin. Phoenix, which is the biggest market for Laughlin, now has seven casinos, although they're much more limited than what's allowed in Nevada, with no blackjack, craps, roulette or sports betting.
"Yes, our business is levelling off," says Jodi when I press the issue. "Why would that happen? Our average visitor comes here four times a year. Let's say the Vegas boom draws off one of those visits, because he wants to see the latest attractions. Then 80 per cent of our market comes from California and Arizona, which are both Indian-gaming states. If even one visit is deflected by that, our budget is impacted."
For now the faux paddlewheeler is still buzzing with handle- pullers--table game action is almost non-existent--but there's only so much business you can do with Mark Twain's Chicken & Ribs Restaurant as a draw. Eventually the whole "riverboat" thing becomes, if not a dirty word, at least a dated one. Most people who are fascinated by Mississippi history can . . . uh . . . gamble in Mississippi.

Soul Revivalist Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band Inspire at the Independent
Feeling down? Lonely? Spiritually absent? Undersexed? Or — god forbid — oversexed? Feeling like you need a change? Charles Bradley has some advice for you.
The one-man answer to cynicism put on a resounding and thought-provoking soul/funk/R&B revivalist show Tuesday night at The Independent that doubled as a self-help sermon. The 62-year-old phenom has lived quite the life, and his wisdom came across matter-of-factly–sometimes in his lyrics, other times in his impromptu evangelistic addresses, imploring the audience to stop being such bastards to each other (my words). "Love each other," he said a few times. "Let's change the world!"

Apple is Planning to Take Over Robson Street in Vancouver
Apple is plotting a new retail store on Robson Street in downtown Vancouver between Burrad Street and Thurlow Street, according to an inside source cited in Business in Vancouver.
Apple currently has stores in Pacific Centre, Oakridge Mall, Richmond Centre, and Metropolis at Metrotown. This would be the first Apple store in B.C. that is not a part of a mall. The company's existing outlets are regularly stuffed to the brim with eager customers.
The company, maker of the wildly popular iPad and iPhone, has over 20 locations in Canada. If this Robson store materializes, B.C. will have 22% of Apple's Canadian outlets, despite having only 13% of the population.

I'm penning this post as I fly above Western Canada, preparing to cross the Gulf of Alaska, en route to Singapore for the GSMA Mobile Money Summit. It's quite difficult to type as the plane bumps along buffeted by the arctic winds. But my thoughts are not on the glaciers below or the bumpy ride; they're on my recent experience at the 2011 Mobile Money Forum in Montreal, Canada. My thoughts are wrapped around the idea of the convergence of social media, mobile capabilities and payment technologies, more simply described as social, mobile and payments. My mind is awash with possibilities of the changes that will occur due to the conjunction of these individual elements.
At the 2011 Mobile Money Forum I listened to many presentations, and spoke with individuals from various companies involved in the mobile payments space from around the world. But my mind keeps returning to the presentation given by Patrick Ramsey,vice president of strategic partnerships and business development, American Express. One of the opening slides in his presentation showed a map of the world projected over a child's face and read, "If Facebook were a country it would be third most populated in the world, ahead of the United States." Then below, the clincher: "Only China & India are more populous!"
By now I'm sure that you've read or heard about the tie-up between payment provider, American Express and location based social media property, Foursquare. The concept is fairly simple: consumers that utilize both services interconnect their card and check-in accounts. When card holders use their mobile devices to alert their social network as to their whereabouts at participating merchants they receive specials, discounts and deals. It's a win-win-win relationship for everyone involved – retailers, Foursquare and Amex. I could waste a bunch of time at this point and go into a detailed explanation as how this mash-up benefits the parties, but I think you probably understand these concepts. Besides, I'd probably get something wrong or miss some important aspect of the collaboration, so it's probably better that I point you back to the news articles and press releases posted on Mobile Payments Today to glean the details for yourself.
What I'd like to focus on is the drawing power these social media startups have amassed, how they are not only drawing in the public, but also economic powerhouses that want what these networks have – active participants! Networks are powerful things, and social media is drawing people in droves. People everywhere are sharing triumphs and tragedies with family, friends and complete strangers around the world. Whether it's the birth of a new baby, or the passing of a beloved family pet, we're sharing intimate details of our lives with our social networks. If you really stop and think about it, marrying shopping with social networking is kind of a no-brainer. Other than going to work, shopping is probably one of the more social things most of us do on a reoccurring basis.
While in Canada for the event I had dinner with a friend in Old Montreal. Walking back to the hotel after a scrumptious meal he pointed out several historic landmarks to me. One of them was an etched stone placard attached to a building commemorating the first public square, dated 1676. I took out my mobile to snap a picture to share later with my Twitter followers. Like a moth to a flame I was drawn to the plaque and moved in closer to get a better picture of it. I think you could ask almost anyone to define what a public square means to them and they would say a marketplace where people meet to buy and sell goods.
When you examine it, shopping and social are pretty much hand and glove. How many of my female readers regularly go "shopping with the girls?" What percentage of this activity is social versus spending? Have you recently chosen to stay home, and not go out, because you wanted to save money? Going places and doing things usually involves spending in one form or another. One of the things I always make sure I have with me when I leave the house is my wallet. Having my identification with me isn't the primary reason for this last minute check; it's more the unspoken admission that when I get out and interact with the world, some type of purchase or payment is probably going to occur. Although I probably won't share the list of items purchased at the supermarket, I often tell friends about new gizmos I've acquired, or talk at a social gathering about the great deal I got on a new shirt. Without looking up stats to back up my statement, I would venture to say that approximately 75 percent of the check-in activity, since day one, on Foursquare has been from some sort of retail establishment.
Will Amex gain new card members from the Foursquare community? Absolutely. Will existing card holders join Foursquare and start checking in to get great deals on products and services? Without a doubt. Will retailers gain new customers from the increased visibility and viral marketing power of the collaboration? The answer is a resounding "yes!"
Social networking has been occurring in marketplaces for centuries. Since the dawn of man we have bought and sold goods in public squares around the world. Adding in the power of mobile technology with its dynamic information sharing capabilities allows purchasers to spread the word farther, wider and faster than ever before. Adding the "Network Effect" to social and shopping will result in a new realm of unimagined, real-time interactivity between products, payments and the public.

Is there any difference in C that is written in Windows and Unix?
I teach C as well as C++ but some of my students have come back saying some of the sample programs do not run for them in Unix. Unix is alien to me. Unfortunately no experience with it whatsoever. All I know is to spell it. If there are any differences then I should be advising our department to invest on systems for Unix as currently there are no Unix systems in our lab. I do not want my students to feel that they have been denied or kept away from something.
Is there any difference in C that is written in Windows and Unix?
That kind of problems usually appear when you don't stick to the bare C standard, and make assumptions about the environment that may not be true. These may include reliance on:
Anyhow an example of program that do not compile on *NIX would be helpful, we could give you preciser suggestions.
The details on the program am yet to get. The students were from our previous batch. Have asked for it. turbo C is what is being used currently.
As said in the comment, please drop Turbo C and (if you use it) Turbo C++, nowadays they are both pieces of history and have many incompatibilities with the current C and C++ standards (and if I remember well they both generate 16-bit executables, that won't even run on 64 bit OSes on x86_64). There are a lot of free, working and standard-compliant alternatives (VC++ Express, MinGW, Pelles C, CygWin on Windows, and gcc/g++ is the de-facto standard on Linux), you just have to pick one.
The language is the same, but the libraries used to get anything platform-specific done are different. But if you are teaching C (and not systems programming) you should easily be able to write portable code. The fact that you are not doing so makes me wonder about the quality of your training materials.
The standard libraries that ship with MSVC and those that ship with a typical Linux or Unix compiler are different enough that you are likely to encounter compatibility issues. There may also be minor dialectic variations between MSVC and GCC.
The simplest way to test your examples in a unix-like environment would be to install Cygwin or MSYS on your existing Windows kit. These are based on GCC and common open-source libraries and will behave much more like the C compiler environment on a unix or linux system.
While getting Linux installed in your lab is probably a useful thing to do (Use VMWare player or some other hypervisor if you can't get funding for new servers) you can use either of the above toolchains to get something that will probably be 'close enough' for your purposes. You can learn unix as takes your fancy, and both Cygwin and MSYS will give you a unix-like environment that could give you a bit of a gentle intro in the meantime.
C syntax must be the same if both Windows and Unix compilers adhere to the same C standard. I was told that MS compilers still don't support C99 in full, although Unix compilers are up to speed, so it seems C89 is a lowest common denominator.
However in Unix world you typically will use POSIX syscalls to do system stuff, like IPC etc. Windows isn't POSIX system so it has different API for it.
There is this thing called Ansi C. As long as you code purely Ansi C, there should be no difference. However, this is a rather academic assumption.
In real life, I have never encountered any of my codes being portable from Linux to Windows and vice versa without any modification. Actually, this modification*S* (definitely plural) turned out into a vast amout of pre-processor directives, such as
As you may imagine, this is totally contrary to readable and debugable code, but that was what worked ;-)
Besides, you have got to consider things already mentioned: UTF-8 will sometimes knock out linux compilers...
There should be no difference between the C programming language under windows or *nix,cause the language is specified by the ISO standard.
The C language itself is the portable from Windows to Unix. But operating system details are different and sometimes those intrude into your code.
For instance Unix systems typically use only "\n" to separate lines in a text file, while most Windows tools expect to see "\r\n". There are ways to deal with this sort of difference in a way that gets the C runtime to handle it for you but if you aren't careful you know about them, it's pretty easy to write OS specific C code.
I could that you run a Unix in a Virtual Machine and use that to test your code before you share it with your students.
I think its critical that you familiarize yourself with unix right now.
An excellent way to do this is a with a Knoppix CD.
Try to compile your programs under Linux using gc, and when they don't work, track down the problems (#include <windows>?) and make it work. Then return to windows, and it'll likely compile ok.
In this way, you will discover your programs become cleaner and better teaching material, even for lab exercises on windows machines.
A common problem is that
Similarly, you need to avoid anything that causes undefined behavior.
