Are you an owner of the Epson P-6000 or P-7000 Multimedia Photo Viewer? If so, the new firmware available at the end of this month will interest you.
Previously, users had to take out the flash media from their cameras and plug it into the gadget to start the file transfer. But with the upgrade, shutterbugs can connect selected Canon or Nikon dSLRs to the photo viewer via USB and images captured will be sent to both the memory card and Epson device simultaneously.

"Rob" does well for CBS, if not for quality TV
[media-credit name="Monty Brinton/CBS" align="alignright" width="213"][/media-credit]
Proving once again that ratings success and quality often are unrelated, the widely panned Rob Schneider sitcom "Rob" bowed Thursday with healthy numbers for CBS.
The half-hour medley of Mexican stereotypes premiered with the time period's "best deliveries in viewers and key demographic since May 2010," the network said. That was when "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" posted a hefty rating in that time slot.
"Rob" was first in households (7.9/12), viewers (13.48m), adults 25-54 (5.4/13) and adults 18-49 (4.1/11).

Ibrahim Ferrer was born on February 20, 1927, in Santiago, Cuba. Orphaned at the age of 12, he started his first band at age 13. While Ferrer had some musical success in his native Cuba, he didn't become an international sensation until age 70,
when he became part of the Buena Vista Social Club. The recording project—produced by Ry Cooder and filmed by Wim Wenders—garnered a Grammy Award and started a resurgence of interest in Afro-Cuban music. Ferrer died in 2005.
Singer. Born on February 20, 1927, in Santiago, Cuba. Orphaned at the age of 12, he started his first band when he was only 13. Over the years he worked numerous jobs to support himself while he pursued his love of music. He had some success in his native Cuba but did not become an international sensation until he was around 70 years old.
At first he refused to join the Buena Vista Social Club, an ensemble of Cuban musicians recruited by Juan de Marcos González, having retired from singing years earlier. But González persisted and eventually Ferrer agreed. Little did he know that the project would generate such critical acclaim and commercial success. Buena Vista Social Club (1997), produced by Ry Cooder, won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Performance and generated interest in Cuban music around the world. That same year he sang on the first Afro-Cuban All Stars album, A Toda Cuba De Gusta (1997). The band was led by Juan de Marcos González and played Latin dance music.
Ferrer worked with Cooder again on the 1999 solo project, Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer. The filmmaker Wim Wenders visited Cuba while they were working on the album and filmed the recording sessions. This footage became part of the 2000 documentary Buena Vista Social Club. Both projects were huge successes?the album sold more than one million copies and the film was nominated for an Academy Award.
With his distinctive voice, Ferrer enjoyed his new career, making several more albums, including Buenos Hermanos (2003). Ibrahim Ferrer died in 2005 in Havana, Cuba.

Image-Conscious: Oracle Releases Template Builder
Template Builder as of now is a permanent part of Oracle's JeOS mini-Linux and produces images, known as templates, for Oracle VM.
The VM Template Builder uses the Just Enough Operating System (JeOS) to produce minimally equipped image templates for Oracle's VM virtual server platform. Developers and ISVs can use a GUI to generate these pre-installed and pre-configured image templates that run on Oracle VM. According to Oracle's vision, these templates can reduce the ballast in a virtual OS in that only the minimally necessary packages are present.
The Linux-based JeOS and Oracle VM are both under GPL and Oracle's commercial support. Downloads are available from Oracle's E-Delivery site upon registration.
Oracle VM provides a virtualized x86 server, for example, for its own or Red Hat's Linux, and its databases and Fusion middleware. The Xen-based virtualization software saw its first light of day the end of 2007.

Toronto-based GO Transit has begun construction of a new pedestrian bridge over Highway 401 will provide better access for commuters by connecting the Pickering GO Station south of the highway to the Pickering Town Centre and Toronto's new downtown core, both located on the north side.
Construction on the approximately 820-foot bridge is currently underway. The bridge will be fully enclosed and will link GO parking at the base of an office tower north of Highway 401 to the GO station and platforms on the south side. The north parking is currently under construction and will provide more than 500 structured parking spaces for use by GO Transit commuters.
Through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF), the federal and provincial governments are each contributing $5 million toward the eligible cost of this project. GO Transit is providing the remaining $12.5 million of the total project cost.
As part of the Government of Canada's Economic Action Plan, the $4-billion ISF is providing funding to nearly 4,000 infrastructure projects across the country, including this one.

Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy, but one that relies almost entirely on human resources, as there are few mineral resources available, except mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing, agriculture or retail. Foundations play a large role as owners of private sector companies. Denmark's nominal GDP was estimated to be $333,238 million, the 32nd largest in the world. It has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the World Bank Gini (%),[12] and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF.[13] As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%.[14] As of 28 February 2014 Denmark is among the countries with the highest credit rating.
Denmark's main exports[15] are: industrial production/manufactured goods 73.3% (of which machinery and instruments were 21.4%, and fuels, chemicals, etc. 26%); agricultural products and others for consumption 18.7% (in 2009 meat and meat products were 5.5% of total export; fish and fish products 2.9%).[16] Denmark is a net exporter of food and energy and has since the 1990s had a balance of payments surplus. There is no net foreign debt as other countries owe more money to Denmark than Denmark owes to them, but because of large deficits due to increased unemployment levels the central government has increased its debt level since the end of September 2008, when it stood at 21 percent (gross debt) of GDP, according to the central bank - in accordance with the Eurostat EMU-debt numbers, which only take liabilities into account. (See below (Budgets)). Taking assets into account as well net debt of the central government was 11 percent. Within the European Union, Denmark advocates a liberal trade policy. Its standard of living is average among the Western European countries[17][18] - and for many years the most equally distributed[19] as shown by the Gini coefficient - in the world, and the Danes devote 0.8% of Gross National Income (GNI) to foreign aid. It is a society based on consensus (dialogue and compromise) with the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Danish Employers in 1899 in Septemberforliget (The September Settlement) recognising each other's right to organise, thus, negotiate.[20] The employer's right to hire and fire their employees whenever they find it necessary is recognised. There is no official minimum wage (Danish: minimumsløn) set by the government; the minimum of wages (Danish: mindsteløn) is determined by negotiations between the organisations of employers and employees. Denmark produces oil, natural gas, wind- and bio-energy. Its principal exports are machinery, instruments and food products. The US is Denmark's largest non-European trading partner, accounting for around 5% of total Danish merchandise trade. Aircraft, computers, machinery, and instruments are among the major US exports to Denmark. Among major Danish exports to the U.S. are industrial machinery, chemical products, furniture, pharmaceuticals, Lego and canned ham and pork.
This thoroughly modern market economy features high-tech agriculture, up-to-date small-scale and corporate industry, extensive government welfare measures, comfortable living standards, and high dependence on foreign trade. Denmark is a net exporter of food. The center-left coalition government (1993–2001) concentrated on reducing the unemployment rate and turning the budget deficit into a surplus, as well as following the previous government's policies of maintaining low inflation and a current account surplus. The coalition also committed itself to maintaining a stable currency. The coalition lowered marginal income tax rates while maintaining overall tax revenues; boosted industrial competitiveness through labor market and tax reforms, increased research and development funds. The availability and duration of unemployment benefit has been restricted to four years and because of rapidly rising prices on housing this has led to an increase in poverty from below 4% in 1995 to 5% in 2006 according to the Danish Economic Council [2]. Despite these cuts, the part of the public sector in Denmark which buys goods and services from the private sector and provides the public sector administration and direct service to the public - nursing institutions for the young or old, hospitals, schools, police, and so on. - has risen from 25.5% of GDP during the former government to 26% today and is projected to be at 26.5% in 2015 if current policies continue [3].
Denmark chose not to join the 11 other European Union members who launched the euro on 1 January 1999. Especially from 2006, economists and political pundits have expressed concern that the lack of skilled labour will result in higher pay increases and an overheating of the economy, which would repeat the boom-and-bust cycle in 1986, when government introduced a tax reform and restricted the private loan market because of a record balance-of-payments deficit. As a consequence, the trade balance showed a surplus in 1987, and the balance-of-payments in 1990 (first surplus since 1963). They have remained in surplus since, except for the balance of payments in 1998.
Welfare stateEdit
Denmark has a broad-reaching welfare system, which ensures that all Danes receive tax-funded health care and unemployment insurance. Denmark ranked the first in the European pensions barometer survey for the past two years.[21] The lowest-income group before retirement from the age of 65 receive 120% of their pre-retirement income in pension and miscellaneous subsidies.
The largest public sector (30% of the entire workforce on a full-time basis[22]) is financed by the world's highest taxes.[23] A value added tax of 25% is levied on the sale of most goods and services (including groceries). The income tax in Denmark ranges from 37.4%[23] to 63% progressively, levied on 4 out of 10 full-time employees.[24] Such high rates mean that 1,010,000 Danes before the end of 2008 (44% of all full-time employees) will be paying a marginal income tax of 63% and a combined marginal tax of 70.9% resulting in warnings from organisations such as the OECD.[25][26] TV2 (Denmark) reported in April 2008 that abolishing the middle- and top-level income tax brackets would amount to two (2) and one (1) percent of public sector revenue, respectively, which equals one and a half percent of GDP. The public sector as a whole had a budget surplus of 4.4% of GDP in 2007, but the tax cuts would increase private consumption and the labor shortage, thus, resulting in a deficit on the trade balance and pressure to increase wages even further. Proceeds from selling ones home are not taxed, as the marginal tax rate on capital income from housing savings is around 0 percent.[27] A survey by Standard & Poor's found that the total debt secured by mortgages in Danish homes amounts to 89.8% of GDP, which is above the debt level in other EU countries (and the USA at 74.6% of GDP).[28]
Discussions on increasing the labor supply include abolishing a labor market arrangement called efterløn (eng.:early retirement pay),[29] at the present (end of 3rd quarter 2008) with more than 130,000 participants (60 years until 64 years of age).[30] Participation in this scheme is also open for self-employed people (farmers, fishermen, lawyers, and so on). Shortening the time unemployment benefit can be received (four years at the present), as an example, is also discussed. The Danish Economic Council in its 2008 spring report (27 May)[31] proposes limiting the dagpengeperiode to 2.5 years, which is still half a year more than at present in Norway and one and a half years more than in Sweden, said in an interview by the chairman (da: overvismand) (professor of economics, University of Copenhagen) Peter Birch Sørensen 27 May 2008 on the TV program Deadline (10.30 pm), channel DR2, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.
Taxation and employmentEdit
With a GDP of 1,642,215 million DKK and revenue from taxes and ownership at 803,693 million DKK (2006),[23] 49.07% of GDP, it is of extreme importance what happens in the tax-financed part of the economy. According to newly revised statistics, Denmark had the world's highest tax level in 2005 and 2006, at 50.7% and 49.1% respectively and also held this position 1970-74 and 1993-95. These figures do not include income from ownership.[23]
The overall surpluses after operating and capital expenditure in the whole public sector for the years 2004-2008: (million DKK) 27,327;77,362;79,937;75,560('07:preliminary);69,140('08:estimate).[32] The public sector debt-liabilities still outstanding 1 January 2008 in accordance with the Eurostat EMU-debt numbers (gross debt) are 440.9 billion DKK (26.0% of GDP). In spite of falling surpluses this debt is expected to fall until 2015. As of 2008 there is no net debt in the public sector as a whole, but instead net assets of 43 billion DKK. The central government is determined to pay off the debt as fast as possible, avoiding the temptation to increase spending which might overheat the economy (increase wages and eventually prices drastically) because of a short supply of skilled labor and in the end require financial austerity measures to cool off the economy. Reporting on the record low unemployment numbers of under 50,000 persons in April 2008 published 9.30 am 29 May by Statistics Denmark, TV2 (Denmark), at 10 pm, with comments from Nordea Bank's (Denmark) chief economist Helge Pedersen, and DR2 (Danish Broadcasting Corporation), at 10.30 pm stressed the danger of overheating the economy and keeping public sector spending in check or otherwise risk economical-political measures. Being surprised at how low unemployment was, the economist said (TV2) that compared with previous periods with such a low unemployment rate, a trade deficit was avoided mainly because of the oil export.
The EMU-debt was 730 billion DKK at the end of 1993, 80.1% of GDP.[33] During the four-year period 2004-2007 the public sector EMU-debt fell from 43.8% (641.9 billion DKK) to 26.0% (440.9 billion DKK) of GDP. The budget surpluses were (in billion DKK) 1.9% (27.2), 5.0% (77.4), 4.8% (79.3), and 4.4% (74.6) of GDP, respectively [34]
Public sector employment (full-time and part-time) has been relatively steady at more than 800,000 a year this first decade, making up around 38% of total full-time (28% of full-time and part-time) employment,[35] whereas private sector employment has risen by over 300,000 since the 1990s to slightly over 2 million in 2007 (full-time and part-time).[36] With the information based partly on payments to the Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension pension fund of all employees and insured but unemployed members of an unemployment fund in Denmark, full-time employment is calculated at over 2.3 million persons in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2007 from a year ago in the number of employed persons was 1.0% and the amount of hours worked was 2.9% higher.[37]
The share of employees leaving jobs every year (for a new job, retirement or unemployment (unempl.:15% of job leavers)) in the private sector is around 30% (of 1.25 million), at more than 300,000 - a level also observed in the U.K. and U.S.- but much higher than in continental Europe, where the corresponding figure is around 10%, and in Sweden. This attrition can be very costly, with new and old employees requiring half a year to return to old productivity levels, but with attrition bringing the number of people that have to be fired down.[38] Productivity increased at an average of 2.3% a year in 2004, 2005 and 2006, recently being revised upward from an average of just 0.9% and previously with a too high employment level estimated.[39] The upward revision is good, because a high wage economy like Denmark's with very few valuable natural resources needs to be highly productive, or efficient, and innovative to compete with other countries for a market share in the global economy. However, according to OECD, the distortions imposed by a combined marginal tax wedge of 70% (60% income tax plus 25% VAT, not counting elevated excise duties on certain goods) are hurting productivity and in turn the country's competitiveness.[23]
Public sector reformEdit
To gain synergies through economies of scale (critical mass) (greater professional and financial sustainability) and big item discounts and to offer a wider array of services closer to the public (be a one-stop place of access to the public sector not unlike the unitary councils), it was deemed necessary to merge the municipalities and other administrative entities in the public sector. This would also help alleviate the financial problems of depopulation due to limited job opportunities, high unemployment and aging and make introduction of new information technology more affordable[40] With the tax burden at around half of GDP, a survey July 2008 found that 81% of Danes are of the opinion that the public sector can deliver more service for the same money, harnessing the advantages of the recent reform.[41] Mainly from 1 January 2007, the new center-right government streamlined the public sector extensively by decreasing the number of administrative units drastically in the different tiers of government, that is, in the number of city court circuits (from 82 to 24), police districts (from 54 to 12),[42] tax districts (before 2007 the responsibility of the municipalities;after that part of the central government Ministry of Taxation), reshuffling tasks among the three government levels and abolished the counties in Kommunalreformen ("The Municipal Reform" of 2007), thereby reducing the number of local and regional politicians by almost half to 2,522 (municipal councillors) (council elections November 2005) (1978: 4,735;1998: 4,685; reduced somewhat in council elections November 2001 (Bornholm)) and 205 (regional councillors) (1998: 374)[43] respectively. Before 1970 (a previous reform in effect from 1 April that year) the number of councillors (both categories) was around 11,000[44] in around 1,000 parish municipalities (sognekommuner), being supervised by their county, and market city municipalities (købstadskommuner), the latter numbering 86[45] (including Bornholm whose county as an exception supervised the county's 6 market city municipalities (of 22 in total)) and not being part of a county but being supervised by the Interior Ministry. This distinction (having independent municipalities not being under county supervision) ending (except for Copenhagen, Frederiksberg and Bornholm (2003–06)) with the reform of 1970, the term municipality (kommune) replaced the previous two terms, which are now never used except for historical purposes. The number of municipalities had been reduced when during the period from April 1962 to 1966 398 municipalities merged to form 118 voluntarily. The number of municipalities was the highest in 1965, at 1345, of which 88 were market city municipalities, including Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, and 1257 were parish municipalities .[46] Many of the 275 municipalities after 1 April 1974 built large city halls to consolidate the administration, thus, changing the cityscape of Denmark. It also consolidated other municipal enterprises and the purchase of goods and services from the private sector, as will some of the present 98 municipalities over time.TV2(Denmark) reported 24 September 2007, that SKI, a mutual purchasing service company for central government, regions, and municipalities, made purchases of 140 billion DKK (almost 9% of GDP) of goods and services in bulk every year, prompting private sector companies to complain over razorthin profit margins and that for instance innovative (but expensive) products and energy efficiency sometimes were better than a very low price.
This section requires expansion. (June 2012) |
Significant investment has been made in building road and rail links between Copenhagen and Malmö, Sweden (the Øresund Bridge), and between Zealand and Funen (the Great Belt Fixed Link). The Copenhagen Malmö Port was also formed between the two cities as the common port for the cities of both nations.
The main railway operator is Danske Statsbaner (Danish State Railways) for passenger services and DB Schenker Rail for freight trains. The railway tracks are maintained by Banedanmark. Copenhagen has a small Metro system, the Copenhagen Metro and the greater Copenhagen area has an extensive electrified suburban railway network, the S-train.
Private vehicles are increasingly used as a means of transport. Because of the high registration tax (180%) and VAT (25%), and the world's highest income tax rate, new cars are very expensive. The purpose of the tax is to discourage car ownership. Whether a smaller fleet of aging cars is better than a larger fleet of modern cars is a matter for debate, however as the car fleet has increased by 45% over the last 30 years the effect of high taxation on the fleet size seems small. The motorway network now covers 1,111 km[47]
In 2007, an attempt was made by the government to favour environmentally friendly cars by slightly reducing taxes on high mileage vehicles. However, this has had little effect, and in 2008 Denmark experienced an increase in the import of fuel inefficient old cars (mostly older than 10 years),[48] primarily from Germany as their costs including taxes keeps these cars within the budget of many Danes.
Denmark is in a strong position in terms of integrating fluctuating and unpredictable energy sources such as wind power in the grid. It is this knowledge that Denmark now aims to exploit in the transport sector by focusing on intelligent battery systems (V2G) and plug-in vehicles.[49]
Denmark has considerable sources of oil and natural gas in the North Sea and ranks as number 32 in the world among net exporters of crude oil.[50] Additionally, Denmark is a long time leader in wind energy, and as of May 2011[update] Denmark derives 3.1% of its gross domestic product from renewable (clean) energy technology and energy efficiency, or around €6.5 billion ($9.4 billion).[51] It has integrated fluctuating and unpredictable energy sources such as wind power into the grid. Denmark now aims to focus on intelligent battery systems (V2G) and plug-in vehicles in the transport sector.[52] Energinet.dk is the Danish national transmission system operator for electricity and natural gas.
Greenland and the Faroe IslandsEdit
Greenland suffered negative economic growth in the early 1990s, but since 1993 the economy has improved. A tight fiscal policy by the Greenland Home Rule Government since the late 1980s helped create a low inflation rate and surpluses in the public budget, but at the cost of rising foreign debt in the Home Rule Government's commercial entities. Since 1990, Greenland has registered a foreign trade deficit.
Following the closure of Greenland's last lead and zinc mine in 1989, Greenland's economy is solely dependent on the fishing industry and financial transfers from the Danish central government. Despite resumption of several interesting hydrocarbon and mineral exploration activities, it will take several years before production will begin. Greenland's shrimp fishery is by far the largest source of income, since cod catches have dropped to historically low levels. Tourism is the only sector offering any near-term potential, and even this is limited due to the short season and high costs. The public sector plays a dominant role in Greenland's economy. Grants from mainland Denmark and EU fisheries payments make up about one-half of the home-rule government's revenues.
The Faroe Islands also depend almost entirely on fisheries and related exports. Without Danish Government bailouts in 1992 and 1993, the Faroese economy would have gone bankrupt. Since 1995, the Faroese economy has seen a noticeable upturn, but remains extremely vulnerable. Recent off-shore oil finds close to the Faroese area give hope for Faroese deposits, too, which may form the basis for an economic rebound over the longer term.
Neither Greenland, nor the Faroe Islands are members of the European Union. Greenland left the European Economic Community in 1986 and the Faroe Islands declined membership in 1973, when Denmark joined.

George Lindblade to speak at Morningside College
George Lindblade will talk about his work as a photographer, videographer, historian and publisher during a presentation titled "I've Never Worked a Day," at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 28, in UPS auditorium, 3627 Peters Ave., on the Morningside College campus. This is a free event open to the public.
"The title of George's presentation, "I've Never Worked a Day," is intended to be tongue-in-cheek humor because George has worked every day, doing so many things, throughout his life," said Terri Parish McGaffin, assistant professor of art at Morningside College.
Lindblade's presentation will focus on his life as an artist. He will discuss his extensive career and the struggles he surpassed to make it in the business.
Lindblade is a photographer, videographer, historian, documentarian, businessman and publisher. He has worked as a cameraman for KTIV, NBC, KCAU, and KMEG. Furthermore, he has photographed Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Dean Martin and many other famous people. He currently lives in Sioux City and manages G.R. Lindblade and Co.

Find unplayed songs in iTunes Video
Find unplayed songs in iTunes Video Transcript
[ Music ] ^M00:00:10
>> Donald Bell: Hey I'm Donald Bell for CNET.com and in this video I'm going to show you how to group together all the songs in iTunes that you've been ignoring. Even if you have 100s of gigabytes worth of music in your collection, old habits die hard and you probably find yourself listening to the same tried and true albums over and over. To see what you've been missing here's a quick way to create a dynamic playlist of the most ignored songs in your collection. First let's create a smart playlist. You can do this by holding down the shift key on a PC, or the option key on Mac, and hitting the create playlist button in the bottom left corner. You can also just dive into the file menu and select new smart playlist. Alright so now you're looking at a box where you can set up all the rules for your playlist. You can get really techy here but all you really need is 3 rules. The first rule is to find all the files in your library with a play count of 0, stuff that's never been played all the way through. Next we make a rule to select the files that have only been skipped less than 2 times. This will filter out the songs that never get played all the way through because you always skip them, in other words it'll filter out the songs that suck. Finally we make sure the media kind is set specially to music because we don't want audio books, podcasts or videos creeping in here. Make sure the live updating box is checked, since we want to make sure that songs get taken off the playlist once you've heard them. Also check the box for match only checked items. If you've made the effort to uncheck a song there's probably a good reason. After hitting the Ok button you should see a playlist of all of the ignored songs. If there's not a lot here you can right click the playlist to edit it and set the first rule to find songs that have been played less than 2 or 3 times to help fill out the list. Also I'd look over this list for any misfits. Sometimes a voice memo will pop up or some 3 hour concert recording you have no intention of sitting through. Just uncheck the song and it'll get booted from the list. Finally to synch this with your iPod or your iPhone you're gonna want to make sure the device is not set to manually manage music and video. If it is the play count information from the device won't be transmitted back to iTunes and your playlist won't update. If you don't have your iPod set to synch all of your music then go into the music tab and make sure your new playlist is selected to synch over. So there you go, now you can find all your orphan songs and give them some attention. Probably won't all be winners, but there's bound to be a diamond in the rough. For CNET.com I'm Donald Bell.

openSUSE Cuts Maintenance Cycle to 18 Months
Instead of 24 months and 3 versions, Novell will in future only supply 2 updates in 18 months for openSUSE.
A short mail from Michael Loeffler announced the cut from 24 to 18 months of maintenance. The mail on the openSUSE mailing list comes one day after Marcus Meissner announced that maintenance for openSUSE 10.3 will end in October.
The new model will cut the maintenance period to 2 versions and 2 months after the release of the following version (2+2), which with the planned release rhythm of 8 months means 18 months.
The move brings the openSUSE project closer to the Fedora maintenance procedure: Red Hat ends support for community distributions one month after release of the next but one Fedora version (2+1).
First reactions to the change were not long in coming: Boyd Lynn Gerber suggests building on an enterprise product based openSUSE version, even without a maintenance contract with Novell, to ensure five years of support, like, for example, Centos offers for the Red Hat enterprise version.
