 Warner, Amelia founder and co-chairman, “and Bobby Rahal certainly falls into the category. His record speaks for itself and he is still going strong today managing a successful racing team along with his son Graham’s budding racing career. We are honored and excited to have him with us on Amelia Island.”
Beyond his Indycar successes, Rahal was also part of the winning combinations at the 1981 Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 1987 12 Hours of Sebring, and in consort with Late Night television host David Letterman, fielded the winning car for Buddy Rice in the 2004 Indianapolis 500. This latter accomplishment makes Rahal one of only three men—Wilbur Shaw and A.J. Foyt are the other two—to win Indy as both a driver and a car owner. These days, Rahal-Letterman Racing fields a two-car team of factory BMWs in the American Le Mans Series, and Rahal is also a principal of Historic Motorsports Productions, which organizes the Legends of Motorsports festivals for historic racing cars.
Also on the docket for Amelia 2011 is a seminar on Brock Yates’s outlaw cross-country run, The Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. A number of participants in those legendary events will be on hand at Amelia to discuss their adventures during the four officially unofficial jaunts that stretched many imaginations and inspired the feature film Cannonball Run.

Underscoring the rapid adoption of ZigBee solutions in the home automation market, Crabtree, a leading electrical accessories manufacturer in South Africa, has selected Freescale Semiconductor's ZigBee solution for its iTRONIC system. ZigBee is increasingly selected for home automation applications due to its ultra low power features, interoperability and mesh capability, all requirements in today's advanced home automation systems. The iTRONIC home automation system allows homeowners to control a number of functions in their homes remotely via telephone or Internet. Freescale's low power ZigBee solution is providing the backbone for this comprehensive home network and enables interoperability for future enhancements. Specifically, the iTRONIC system saves energy with the capability to take care of daily scheduled tasks including running a pool pump and irrigation system, as well as checking and adjusting the temperature and lighting system. Freescale's ZigBee solution enables this system to efficiently operate for many years, showcasing the power saving features of ZigBee technology. "ZigBee technology is allowing us to meet our customers' demand for innovative products," said Paul de Kock, product manager, automation for Crabtree. "Freescale's extensive ZigBee platform has enabled us to quickly develop and launch our home automation system to meet consumer demand for wireless home monitoring and control products." The iTRONIC system enables a new level of home security by sending status notifications via telephone, short message service (SMS) and the web to the homeowner regarding an intrusion, fire and smoke detection, as well as alarm status. "The iTRONIC system is another example of how ZigBee works in the real world," said Brett Black, commercial wireless manager for Freescale Semiconductor. "Home automation is a key application for ZigBee technology, due to its low power capabilities. Freescale's solutions are ZigBee compliant and provide products such as the iTRONIC system the capability to be interoperable with other devices in the residential space." Freescale's ZigBee-compliant platform, which includes the MC13193 2.4 GHz RF transceiver and a low voltage, low power HCS08 MCU and software, provides a robust, cost-effective and easy-to-deploy solution. ZigBee-enabled on-chip features and enhancements reduce external components and total bill of materials, while providing battery lifetimes of up to several years.The facade of the building at the northeast corner of South Avenue and Walnut Street sits unfinished, 14 months after it was damaged by wind.

The issue: More than a year after a windstorm tore off part of the facade, the building at the northeast corner of South Avenue and Walnut Street downtown appears half-finished, its original exterior exposed and in need of repair.
The owners acknowledge the building is an eyesore as is, but they don't intend to leave it that way.
The building, which contains Blush Boutique, Walnut Street Barber Shop and recording space The Studio, is owned by the family of recording engineer Lou Whitney and a partner, Tom Whitlock....This example says sizeof can be used on a dereferenced pointer, even if it is of type struct *, and doesn’t point to anything. This is because the size of the struct is known at compile time.
The result will still be 16 since it’s 4-byte-aligned.
Note. This program is tested on a 32-bit machine.
This is a valid struct initialization. In this way you don’t care about the order of items.
Also note that the compiler doesn’t care about the last comma. It’ll be OK whether you add it or not. I don’t know whether it’s a compiler-specific issue. But it looks fine.
Variables length array is a new feature in C99. In this case this is an execution-time sizeof.

The fuchsia shirt Milos Raonic has on is suddenly the second-most-noticeable part of his ensemble, and by a long shot. Halfway through a two-hour practice on a scorching morning in Toronto, he pulls out a pair of thick-framed, dark-tinted glasses that look like they’d provide super-vision if this were a superhero movie and not a tennis workout. Raonic secures the elastic band around his head then pushes a button on the side of the frames, and the lenses start to flash. Every flash renders him blind for a few milliseconds. It’s now up to Raonic’s brain to fill in those blanks, to anticipate a ball’s arrival without seeing its entire path. Raonic sends a forehand volley long. “No!” he yells, showing off sparkling white teeth as he grins across the court at Carlos Moya, a former world No. 1 and one of three men he calls coach. After a few more rallies, Raonic pulls the glasses off his sweaty face and resumes practice. He can see again.
Canada’s best tennis player has never been shy about his desire to be the world No. 1. And when you spend time with the 25-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., you can see he means it when he says he’s “leaving no stone unturned” to that end. Raonic spares no expense, and the glasses—which a vision specialist suggested to help improve his reaction time—are just a small part of it. The massive team of people around Raonic is so all-encompassing it makes you wonder whether somebody’s in charge of tucking him in at night. (Though his sports doctor, Yoni Yarom, will assure you: “I don’t sleep with him.”) Despite all these efforts, going into the Rogers Cup, Raonic has never beaten the world’s top player, and he has yet to win a Grand Slam. A first-ever Wimbledon final means he’s getting closer, though, so the question now is whether Raonic is capable of taking those massive final strides. This much is certain: If he never takes over that No. 1 spot, it simply wasn’t in him.
Dusan retired when his son turned pro, and he’s the man Raonic comes to for small off-court matters. And for one big one: financial advice. When Raonic was considering adding a third coach to help with his grass and net game this season—his other two coaches being Moya, the 1998 French Open champion who started in January, and Italian Ricardo Piatti, a former coach of world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who was hired at the end of 2013—he asked his dad first. “If there is enough money and potential to make more, we make a decision,” Dusan says. “If he’s playing good, he makes more money and he can expand.” Enter John McEnroe.
With McEnroe on board, Raonic now has two former world No. 1s on his coaching staff and three times as many coaches as he did when he turned pro at 18. It sounds overwhelming, but all three coaches are never around the world No. 7 player together at one time. They make sure to coordinate their efforts, though.
