Catherine Busalacchi, executive director of Student Union, Inc. at San Jose State University, said replacing the scoreboard in the arena and renovation in the SPX building has contributed to a less active schedule this semester. "This is the first time it has happened," she said of the toned-down event schedule. Twenty-eight human performance classes originally held in SPX have temporarily been moved to the Event Center. "It has run smoothly since the classes got relocated with patient and understanding students," said Seth Levinslcy, the sport club coordinator. "The instructors are working with us." According to Levinsky, the classes are now held in var- ious places such as the mini gym, the aerobics room, the arena and in the Event Center concourse. Greg Payne, chair of the physical education depart- ment, said they are putting in new skylights, a new roof and new lights in SPX. He said he is hoping the construction will be done within the next week so the classes can move back. "Classes are not fiinctioning quite as normal, but the instructors are exLierts in their field and find creative ways - - - - to accommodate, Payne said.

The offer was available for three months, after which the band released and commercialized the album, both digitally and in CD. In this paper, we use weekly music sales data in the US between 2004-2012 to examine the effect of Radiohead’s unorthodox strategy on the band’s al- bum sales. We find that Radiohead’s PYOP offer had no effect on the subsequent CD sales. Interestingly, it yielded higher digital album sales compared to a traditional release.

  • Assignment 3 1/21/2015
    Assignment 3 1/21/2015 The University of Wollongong School of Computer Science and Software Engineering CSCI124/MCS9124 Applied Programming Spring 2010 Assignment 3 (worth 6 marks) • Due at 11.59pm Thursday, September 9 (Week 7). Aim: Developing programs with dynamic memory and hashing. Requirements: This assignment involves the development of a database for a cinema. The program is designed to look up past movie releases, determining when the film was released, the rating it received from the Classification Board and its running time. To accelerate the lookup, a hash table will be used, with two possible hash functions. The program will report how efficiently the table is operating. Storage will be dynamic, enabling the space used by the program to be adjusted to suit the datafile size. The program must clean up after memory usage. During development, the program may ignore the dynamic nature until the program is working. As an addendum, the assignment also involves the use of compiler directives and makefiles. Those students who use a platform other than Linux/Unix will be required to ensure that their programs comply with the specifications below. The program is to be implemented in three files: ass3.cpp contains the simplest form of main function, hash.h contains the function prototypes of the publicly accessible functions, where the implementations of these functions will be placed in the file hash.cpp. The first two files should not be altered, although you may write your own driver programs to test your functions during development. The third file contains the stubs of the four public functions, plus a sample struct for holding the records, usable until they are changed for dynamic memory.
