As a jaded, grizzled state and local politics reporter (don't I look grizzled?), it's pretty much impossible to shock me with news about the lack of competitiveness of legislative elections.
Gerrymandering has led to fewer competitive seats. Americans have sorted themselves into Republican and Democratic areas, so, even when lines aren't drawn with an eye toward creating safe seats, it usually happens anyway.
But, in spite of all that, grizzled old me found this report from Ballot Access News to be pretty startling:
Arkansas holds State Senate elections next month in 18 districts. In 17 of those districts, only one person is on the ballot. Only the 30th district has a contest, which is between a Democrat and a Republican.

DELIRIOUS: Our Ultimate Prince Deep Cut Playlist
Lesser-known Prince songs – including deep cuts, b-sides and sometimes-overlooked singles – give us new perspective on his vast talents.
Lesser-known Prince songs – including deep cuts, b-sides and sometimes-overlooked singles – give us new perspective on his vast talents.
The stunning decision by 'Entertainment Weekly' to essentially ignore George Martin's passing – and with it, his legacy – is insulting to Martin, the Beatles, and anyone interested in major music news.
Toto's "It's a Feeling" could just as easily be talking about a changing relationship or Steve Porcaro's place in the band he cofounded.
Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello + others have tackled the great existential empty void over the years. But who did it best?
Co-written by Tot's Steve Lukather and Bobby Kimball, 'Good For You' was one of the strongest songs not to be issued as a single from 'Toto IV.'
Up until 'Toto IV,' the vast majority of Toto ballads had been written by David Paich. Steve Lukather's "I Won't Hold You Back" changed the paradigm.
"Make Believe" is one of the reasons I'm still longing for the day that Toto and Chicago tour together.
Without George Martin's maverick streak, the Beatles may have never become one of the most influential bands in modern music.
The lesser-known friends, family and musicians who influenced the Beatles finally receive their due in David Bedford's 'Fab One Hundred and Four.'
George Martin could have made the Beatles toe the company line. Instead, Mike Tiano argues, he inspired them to greatness by working as a musical and production collaborator.

Bleik, Andøya in Nothern Norway
The Travel Club (Reiseklubben)
We are 4 couples that enjoy travelling together. It started 5 years ago, and since then we have made at least two journeys a year together. Journeys in our own country are just as fine as journeys abroad. We live 50 km south of Oslo ( Norway), and a trip to the northern part of Norway is just as long as a trip to Rome for us. The first trip we went together was to Bleik on Andøya.

RABANNE ROCKS ON: In keeping with its rock star bent, Paco Rabanne's Black XS fragrance brand hosted a party Thursday night in Paris celebrating the Paris opening of the photo exhibition "The Rolling Stones 50th."
The show celebrates the half-century since the legendary band held its first concert.
Seventy-six photographs in black-and-white and color — by the likes of Jean-Marie Périer, Michael Putland and Bob Gruen — graced the walls of the gallery that was hopping. Some guests kitted out in pure Swinging Sixties style posed for photos, as DJ Greem mixed a tribute to the Stones.
The exhibition, which already had a stint in London and New York, runs through Jan. 12, 2014, at the Galerie Nikki Diana Marquardt at 10 Rue de Turenne in Paris' 4th arrondissement.

Did you have an ultrasound of the baby's hips to check for dysplasia?Ā My 3rd DD was transverse for most of the pregnancy and then I had to have a c-section due to her position and almost no fluid left.Ā Because of her transverse position and also her health issues, the docs ordered an ultrasound of her hips to check for dysplasia.Ā We had it done when she was less than a month old.Ā My new LO was frank breech for most of the preg (might have flipped once).Ā I ended up having to have another c-section because he never turned.Ā So, I was supposed to take him for an ultrasound of his hips.Ā I had it scheduled, but then we had vehicle issues and I had to cancel.Ā So...here it is 6 mos later, and we have not taken him for the ultrasound for a variety of reasons.Ā I was just wondering if this ultrasound is now standard practice for breech babies???Ā Our pediatrician indicated that it is.Ā So....did others do the ultrasound?Ā What were the findings?
Who here had a breech baby?
DD(13) DD(11) DS(5 - ASD) DD(2) DD in Heaven since age 4 mos (T21, AVSD) and #6 DS (VSD) coming in August 2016!
My sister in law just had a baby and ended up having a CC due to it being breech, he never flipped.┬Ā They also had an US and it turns out he did have hip dysplasia.┬Ā They want to catch it early because it is much easier to correct as an infant.┬Ā He had to wear braces for three months straight and now he only has to wear them at night.┬Ā Hope this helps!
Madelyn was beech, scheduled CS (though she came a day early anyway, haha)
Our ped never mentioned an US for her hips, but she does check them at every appointment.
M 1/11 (C/S, Breech) L 3/13 (NUVBAC) V 12/14 (NUVBAC)
Mine was not breech, he was in perfect position for weeks.┬Ā However, I have bilateral dysplasia, and kept telling the ped to check him, she did the Barlow maneuver and said he was fine.┬Ā Finally at 5 months I took him to a specialist myself, and he has dysplasia.┬Ā He's been in a brace for 6 weeks so far, and will be in it for at least 2 or 3 more months.┬Ā Hopefully won't need surgery for it.
proud mommy of Cannon James - 1/25/11
At this point they'll probably do an xray instead of an ultrasound, actually.┬Ā And the later they find the dysplasia, the less likely a brace will fix it.┬Ā So, take her in as soon as you possibly can!
proud mommy of Cannon James - 1/25/11
Both of my sons were breech.With my oldest they did an U/S before we even left the hospital.The Ped thought he heard a slight click in his hips but it turned out to be fine. WIth LO they just monitored it closely but never needed the U/S.
YDD was breech until 37w, and yes, we also did the u/s. I think they're just being really proactive in keeping an eye out for potential hip dysplasia. From my understanding, it's much easier to treat at a younger age.

nursing student. tigers fan.
Mine was transverse breech.┬ĀShe was that way from┬Āearly on.┬ĀI had a scheduled c-section but she came 1 1/2 weeks early.┬Ā ┬ĀI have never heard of them needing ultrasounds for displasia.┬Ā Our ped never mentioned a thing about it.┬Ā I am quite upset at them for not mentioning it.┬Ā

SA farmers lose out from drought relief delayWendy Collis, Thursday December 5, 2013 - 10:53 EDT
A rural financial counsellor says delays in finalising the Commonwealth's Farm Finance scheme in South Australia have cost farmers millions.
South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory have finally signed up to the scheme, weeks after the eastern mainland states.
Rural Business Support manager Kaye Matthias says the state and federal governments should have agreed to the scheme earlier in the year, not yesterday.
"Well, it is a shame that it hadn't been settled earlier, and I know there were some protracted negotiations between the Commonwealth and the State Government.
"But yes, if it had been signed off we wouldn't have been faced with that situation of losing $10 million, so it is unfortunate from that perspective."

We're excited and proud to launch Thingiverse Apps. Learn More about what this means to you.
I got this as a DXF file off the net quite a few years ago. Don't know where I got it exactly.
Also, I don't have a build diagram for it so therefore it's a puzzle.
My wife did manage to figure out how it fits together. The parts we're unsure of is the little part on the end of the tail (df5.stl) and the two little round parts (df1 x2.stl). So we left out these two round parts
I printed all parts with NO raft so they could be smooth both sides.
Some parts have the number required in the filename i.e. x6 means part must be printed 6 times.
After printing the little "connection" slots might need slight cleaning up with a blade for parts to fit together properly. So each part must be test fitted and cleaned as necessary but only to the point where they still fit together tightly.

Crowdfunding angels give kids a hand
Relevant offers
Hundreds of "complete strangers" have donated nearly $40,000 to two Christchurch kids left with $175,000 debt when their mother died.
Nicky Cockroft lost a short battle with an aggressive form of cancer on March 17 and the 43-year-old's children, Kate and Bryce, are now staring down the barrel of a $140,000 mortgage.
Cockroft also left outstanding utility bills, about $7000 in credit card debt and the cost of her funeral was about $8500.
Kate, a 20-year-old single mother, and her 16-year-old brother are estranged from their fathers and have no other Christchurch family members.
The siblings' godmother, Linda Newsome, set up a crowdfunding page via Givealittle to try to relieve some financial pressure.
In a week since a story on their plight ran in the Sunday Star-Times, more than 730 donations totalling almost $40,000 were made.
Kate said she checked the Givealittle page on Saturday night and it had raised $605. Within 48 hours, it had raised more than $32,000, and it kept rising.
"There are not enough words to explain how thankful Bryce and I are. The kind hearts and generosity of others - complete strangers all over the world - has been overwhelming," she said.
A spokeswoman for Givealittle said that Kate and Bryce were among the top five beneficiaries of crowdfunding through the site in June. The story, however, raised questions, including whether it would be better for the children to sell the house and rent.
Newsome said that while Kate and Bryce could sell the house, paying rent would "eat away at all that capital until there is none left" and the rental market in post-quake Christchurch also meant high prices and sparse availability.
"Surely they are better to stay and pay off their own mortgage."
Newsome said she tried to discuss finances with Cockroft before she died, but her friend was "adamant all was in order and wouldn't discuss [it] any further".
It was too late to take out life insurance anyway.
"Only those that have been down this road will truly know how an illness like this is all-consuming and it takes all your strength to get from one day to the next. Admitting 'this is the end' and therefore setting finances straight is truly hard. No-one wants to think they are at the end of their road," said Newsome.
"There are 730 angels out there who can never know how much this will help those kids.
"The lesser the amount [of debt] they have, the more chance they have of staying in the house and staying together. They only have each other now. Family is everything."

Have you played with Facebook's Open Graph search yet?
Facebook's new search tool is now available to all American users. The rest of the world still has to request its preview here.
Your search bar is now much more prominent in the interface and you should expect it to start playing a much bigger role in how people use the site. The tool mixes a little bit of fun with a little bit of creepiness. And while it's definitely more useful that Facebook's old search, it could get you in some trouble.
The good news is that the search respects your privacy settings. The bad news is a lot of people don't seem to be that careful with their privacy settings.
We tested out these searches and were shocked by how many many profiles actually came up:
How do you know if you're protected from embarrassing searches?
We've made it easy to check. You can use our Safe Profile Beta app and get your privacy score and recommendations now.
Or you can check manually by clicking on the lock on the upper right corner of any Facebook page for "Privacy shortcuts".
Click on "Who can see my stuff?" then "What do other people see on my timeline?"
You'll see what's available to the "Public" your "Friends" or a specific person could find as they search for you.
If you're not happy with anything that may come up, here's an excellent guide for locking your profile down.
Open Graph search makes the information on your "About" page as well as the privacy settings of your "Friends", "Photos" and "Likes" more important than ever. So be sure to check out the first four sections of this guide.
And — to be extra safe — I'm going to remind you to run Safe Profile beta, again. And if you do, let us know what score you got in the comments.

Collision is coming to a close today, and what a week it's been. F-Secure's Chief Research Officer Mikko Hyppönen was there earlier in the week, and gave a compelling talk on the evolution of cyber crime. He also gave a quick post-talk interview, so check out this Quickfire article to learn who Mikko thinks deserves a slap in the face. F-Secure also ran a basic Wi-Fi experiment at Collision*, similar to ones conducted in 2014 and 2015. While the experiment conducted at Collision had a smaller scope than our previous investigations, it does prove that people are still pretty promiscuous when it comes to connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots without the proper protection, such as a VPN. In the first two days of Collision, we observed nearly one hundred people connecting to a phony Wi-Fi hotspot. And none of them were encrypting their traffic. Connecting to a phony Wi-Fi hotspot can open the door to all kinds of problems. Hackers have been known to use similar setups to help them "sniff" people's Internet traffic, allowing them to do things like read personal messages, log the websites people visit, and even steal passwords and other sensitive information. So if you make a habit of using public Wi-Fi hotspots – whether you're at a tech conference, an airport, a café, or a hotel – you should give Freedome a try to keep you and your private data safe and secure.

Finland is home to the freest news media in the world, according to Reporters Without Borders. It's fitting, then, that the annual UNESCO World Press Freedom Day conference will be held in Helsinki this year, May 2-4. Freedom of information is a topic that's close to our heart. We were fighting for digital freedom before it was cool - yes, before Edward Snowden. A free press is foundational to a free and open society. A free press keeps leaders and authorities accountable, informs the citizenry about what's happening in their society, and gives a voice to those who wouldn't otherwise have one. Journalists shed light on issues the powers that be would much rather be left in the dark. They ask the tough questions. They tell stories that need to be told. In a nutshell, they provide all of us with the info we need to make the best decisions about our lives, our communities, our societies and our governments, as the American Press Institute puts it. That's a pretty important purpose. But it can also be a dangerous one. Journalists working on controversial stories are often subject to intimidation and harassment, and sometimes imprisonment. Sometimes doing their job means risking their lives. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 1189 journalists have been killed worldwide in work-related situations since 1992, when they began counting. 786 of those were murdered. Freedom of the press and digital technology are inextricably intertwined. Journalists' tools and means of communication are digital - so to protect themselves, their stories and their sources, they also need digital tools that enable them to work in privacy. Encrypted email and messaging apps. Secure, private file storage. A password manager to protect their accounts. A VPN to hide their Internet traffic and to access the content they need while they're on assignment abroad. F-Secure at World Press Freedom Day It's because press freedom and technology are so intertwined that it's our honor to participate in this year's World Press Freedom Day conference. Here's how we'll be participating in the program: Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at F-Secure, will keynote about protecting your rights. Tuesday May 3, 14:00 to 15:45 Erka Koivunen, our Cyber Security Advisor, will participate in a pop-up panel debate on digital security and freedom of speech in practice. Tuesday May 3, 15:45 – 16:15 Sean Sullivan, our Security Advisor, will be on hand to answer journalists' questions about opsec tools and tips. One of our lab researchers, Daavid, will be inspecting visitors' mobile devices for malware. We'll feature our VPN, Freedome. Check out our Twitter feed on May 3 for livestream of Mikko's and Erka's stage time. Banner photo: Getty Images
An employee opens an attachment from someone who claims to be a colleague in a different department. The attachment turns out to be malicious. The company network? Breached. If you follow the constant news about data breaches, you read this stuff all the time. But do you ever wonder how hackers get otherwise smart, professional people to fall for their tricks? How do they know who to email? What to say to get their victim to fall prey? Where do they get the information that gives them a foothold into an organization? The answer is so simple, and just makes too much sense: LinkedIn. Recon made easy The first phase of any targeted hacking scheme is the reconnaissance phase - where the hacker gathers information about the company, employees, their job titles, email addressses, etc. What better place to start than LinkedIn? "LinkedIn is a treasure trove of easily accessible personal information and company IT data," writes penetration tester Trevor Christiansen. "Unbeknownst to most of the employees who post their information on LinkedIn, any hacker looking to wreak havoc on a company's highly sensitive, business-critical data could find his or her point of entry using this ubiquitous business networking forum." White hat hackers (the good guys) like Christiansen use LinkedIn to gather information too, albeit with a different end purpose in mind - to test and improve an organization's security. F-Secure CEO Christian Fredrikson described two such exercises performed by F-Secure's ethical hacking team in his recent keynote at CeBIT. In one exercise, the hackers targeted employees who mentioned mainframe-related info in their profiles. In the other, they targeted source code developers. So, exactly how do hackers, good and bad, use LinkedIn to gain a foothold into company they intend to hack? Our own white hat hacker, Knud in F-Secure's Cyber Security Services team, describes a common scenario. "You just search for employees working at a target company via the standard LinkedIn interface," he says. "Now, armed with a list of names, you can start Googling them until you find a company email address." Now, he says, you have the email format used in the company. For example, firstname.lastname@example.com. "Shoot off an email to a few random employees asking something stupid like 'Bob, is that you? Long time no see,'" he continues. "With a bit of luck, someone will reply and you'll have the corporate signature. With the corporate signature, plus names, positions and job descriptions people helpfully put on LinkedIn, you can start spoofing internal emails." Building rapport for social engineering Knud points out that the more information people share in their profiles, the easier it is to build rapport. "For example, someone lists their graphic design skills. So you send an email that reads, 'Due to your experience with icon design and great layout skills, I wonder if you have time to take a quick look at something we are working on in <other department>; see attached (malicious) document and get back to me." To gain even more information, a hacker can create a fake profile and then connect with the employee. This gives them greater access to contact details and the person's network. Combined with information gleaned from Facebook or other social networks, such as interests and hobbies, hackers can get a pretty full picture of the employee they intend to target, enabling them to sharpen their spear even more. The best defense So what's an employee to do, scrub your profile of all but the most basic info? Decline to list your employer? Such suggestions would seem to defeat the purpose of LinkedIn, where profile information can hopefully lead to networking opportunities. Companies in turn appreciate the promotion they get via their employees on LinkedIn. Luckily, F-Secure Security Advisor Sean Sullivan doesn't believe self-censorship the answer. "It's not really the problem of the employee to limit what they write on LinkedIn," he says. "A security-minded organization should have a policy that states that employees should be mindful." Indeed, the best weapon against these types of attacks is employee awareness. Your information may be available on LinkedIn, but if you're are aware of the ways hackers exploit that info, you'll be less likely to fall for tricks. Employer-sponsored education on social engineering tactics would help employees learn to be suspicious of any communication that seems even the slightest bit off. Hackers may love LinkedIn, but only as long as it gets them where they want to be. To head them off, awareness is key. Image courtesy of Mambembe Arts & Crafts, flickr.com

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to method and apparatus for substantially cancelling interference between two overlapping antenna radiated beams which are transmitted in the same direction and destined for two different receivers and, more particularly, to method and apparatus for cancelling interference between overlapping area coverage and spot coverage antenna radiated beams using the same frequency spectrum at the spot beam receiving stations.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In a domestic satellite communication system the coexistence of spot and area coverage beams can be desirable. For example, a separate spot coverage beam can be used for communication between the satellite and each high traffic ground station while an area coverage beam can be used for communication between the satellite and a plurality of low traffic ground stations under conditions where it might not be desirable to interconnect the individual low traffic ground stations to a nearest high traffic ground station for access to the satellite system. To avoid signal degradation and permit separation of the overlapping spot coverage and area coverage beams, especially at each spot coverage receiving station, a typical prior art technique would be to use separate bandwidths or polarizations, if possible, for the spot coverage beams and the area coverage beam. Using separate bandwidths, however, results in inefficient use of the frequency spectrum and different polarizations may not be available where dual polarized beams are already used by each of the beams of the satellite system.
Various techniques have been devised to suppress interference between two beams arriving at a receiver from separate directions. In this regard see, for instance, U.S. Pat. No. 2,520,184 issued to E. H. Ullrich on Aug. 29, 1950; U.S. Pat. No. 3,094,695 issued to D. M. Jahn on June 18, 1963; U.S. Pat. No. 3,369,235 issued to C. E. Odams et al on Feb. 13, 1968 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,987,444 issued to R. J. Masak et al on Oct. 19, 1976. Since the area and spot coverage beams transmitted from a satellite arrive at each spot beam ground station from the same direction, techniques for separating signals arriving from different directions are not usable.
An alternative technique to enable reception of two or more signals at an FM receiver would be to modulate the carrier of each transmitter with a separate address frequency that is assigned to an associated receiver as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. Re. 27,478 issued to G. P. Battail et al on Sept. 19, 1972. Such arrangement may be applicable to FM communication systems but does not appear applicable to a digital communication system.
The problem remaining in the prior art is to provide a technique which permits overlapping spot and area coverage beams which use the same frequency band to be separated at an overlapped receiving station.
The present invention relates to method and apparatus for substantially cancelling interference between two overlapping antenna radiated beams which are transmitted in the same direction and destined for two different receivers and, more particularly, to method and apparatus for cancelling interference between overlapping area coverage and spot coverage antenna radiated beams, which use the same frequency spectrum, at the spot beam receiving stations.
It is an aspect of the present invention to effect cancellation of interference between overlapping area coverage and spot coverage antenna radiated beams which use the same frequency spectrum by coupling a portion of the area coverage signal into each of the spot coverage radiated signals in a manner to cause cancellation at each spot beam receiver between the signal received directly from the area coverage beam and the received portion of the area coverage signal forming part of the spot coverage received beam.
Other and further aspects of the present invention will become apparent during the course of the following description and by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals represent like parts in the several views:
FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates a satellite communication system for providing both an area coverage beam and a plurality of spot coverage beams between the satellite and the associated ground receiver stations;
FIG. 2 illustrates an arrangement according to the present invention to effect interference cancellation of the area coverage beam at each of the spot coverage receiver stations;
FIG. 3 is a curve illustrating the antenna pattern of a spot coverage beam and a modified area coverage beam in the area of a spot coverage ground station according to the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a curve illustrating the Signal-to-Interference ratio at the ground stations between a spot coverage beam and the modified area coverage beam in accordance with the arrangement of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a curve illustrating the power spectrum of a 4Φ-PSK signals for a 300 Mbauds spot beam and two 75 Mbauds area beams in accordance to the present invention.
The present invention has been described primarily in relationship to a satellite communication system to enable the concurrent use of an area coverage satellite radiated beam and a plurality of spot coverage satellite radiated beams where all of the beams use the same frequency spectrum and the spot coverage beams are received within the area encompassed by the area coverage beam. However, it will be understood that such description is exemplary only and is for the purpose of exposition and not for purposes of limitation. It will be readily appreciated that the inventive concept described is equally applicable to other radiated wave transmission systems which comprise two or more beams which have different destinations but interfere with each other at one or more of the destinations.
In FIG. 1, a satellite communication system is illustrated wherein the present invention is especially useful to permit the concurrent transmission from a satellite 10 of both an area coverage beam 12 and a plurality of spot coverage beams of which, for example, three beams 14a, 14b and 14c are shown with all beams being able to use the same frequency spectrum. Spot coverage beams 14a, 14b and 14c are shown radiating from antennae 15a, 15b and 15c, respectively, and directed at respective ground areas 16a, 16b and 16c which include, for example, high traffic ground stations 17a, 17b and 17c, respectively. Area coverage beam 12 is shown radiating from an antenna 13 and directed at a ground area 18 which includes both the ground areas 16a, 16b and 16c and a plurality of low traffic ground stations of which, for example, four stations 19a-19d are shown. In the satellite communication system of FIG. 1, each of the high traffic ground stations 17a-17c communicates with satellite 10 via a separate spot beam 14a-14c, respectively, while the low traffic ground stations 19a-19d communicate with satellite 10 via common area coverage beam 12 using any suitable technique to assure that a particular message will be processed by only the appropriate one of stations 19 a-19d. Such arrangement permits low traffic ground stations 19a-19d to communicate with satellite 10 under conditions where it is not advantageous to connect a low traffic ground station 19 to a nearby one of high traffic ground stations 17a-17c.
It can be seen from FIG. 1 that when area coverage beam 12 and spot coverage beams 14a-14c are transmitted concurrently and use the same frequency spectrum that each of ground stations 17a-17c will receive both the associated one of spot coverage beams 14a-14c and area coverage beam 12 since these beams emmanate from approximately the same point and most probably the same antenna rather than separate antennas as shown in FIG. 1. Under such conditions the use of prior art arrangements such as, for example, side lobe suppression arrangements to select a wave received from a particular direction over waves received from other directions is not feasible.
The concurrent transmission of area coverage beam 12 and a plurality of spot coverage beams 14a-14c using the same frequency spectrum can be effected in accordance with the present invention by the arrangement shown in FIG. 2. For purposes of explanation, Ss represents the signal intended for a particular spot beam antenna 15 with a field pattern Es (θ). More particularly, signals Ss.sbsb.a, Ss.sbsb.b and Ss.sbsb.c propagate in wavegude 21a, 21b and 21c, respectively, to respective antennae 15a, 15b and 15c for radiation to respective ground stations 17a-17c via spot coverage beams 14a, 14b and 14c, respectively. The field pattern Es (θ) for each of the spot coverage beams 14 is assumed to be of Gaussian shape as, for example, in the main lobe of a paraboloid fed by a corrugated feedhorn, and is given by: ##EQU1## where Es (O) is in the magnitude of the field along the axis of each spot coverage beam 14. Additionally, SA represents the signal intended for area coverage beams 12 and is shown propagating in waveguide 21d to antenna 13 for radiation to ground stations 19 via area coverage beam 12 which has a field pattern EA (θ) which is given by
EA (θ)=EA (O), (2)
where EA (O) is the magnitude of the field along the axis of area coverage beam 12.
Since EA (θ) represents the field pattern over area 18 of FIG. 1, it is desirable to produce a "hole" in EA (θ) in the areas 16a-16c where the spot coverage beams 14a-14c exist such that EA does not interfere with each of the Es patterns. In accordance with the present invention, interference between the signal SA transmitted via area coverage beam 12 and each of signals Ss.sbsb.a, Ss.sbsb.b and Ss.sbsb.c transmitted via spot coverage beams 14a, 14b and 14c, respectively, is substantially reduced at each of the spot beam ground stations 17 by coupling a portion of the area coverage signal, SA, propagating in waveguide 21d, into each of the spot coverage signals Ss.sbsb.a, Ss.sbsb.b and Ss.sbsb.c propagating in waveguides 21a-21c, respectively, using respective directional couplers 22a, 22b and 22c. To accomplish such interference cancellation at each of ground stations 17, each of couplers 22a-22c should preferably have a negative coupling coefficient of approximately between one and two times the value of EA (O)/Es (O). For example, for a negative coupling coefficient of 1.21, the radiated signal for area beam 12 and one of spot beams 14a-14c in the vicinity of the associated spot beam ground station 17 then becomes ##EQU2## Since Es (O)> > EA (O), Equation (3) can be simplified to ##EQU3## The normalized power patterns for both a spot and the area coverage beams are ##EQU4## and are shown in FIG. 3. From FIG. 3 it can be seen that the spot coverage beam 14 remains unchanged when received at associated area 16 whereas the area coverage beam 12 is significantly reduced in the spot coverage beam region 16.
If it is assumed that 4Φ-PSK modulation of the same baud rate is used in both beams and that the Effective Instantaneous Radiated Power (EIRP) at beam peaks are the same, i.e., <|EA (O)SA |2 >=<|Es (O)Ss |2 >, the signal to interference ratio (S/I) at the ground defined by PA /Ps or Ps /PA is shown in FIG. 4 by a solid line, where ##EQU5## and Ps = received power of Ss (|Es (θ) Ss |). From FIG. 4, it can be seen that if S/I> 14 dB is acceptable, the far field region breaks down to
______________________________________0 ≦ θ ≦ θ3 dB Spot Beam (Ps /PA > 14 dB)θ3 db ≦ θ ≦ 2.25 θ3 Blackout region2.25 θ3 dB ≦ θ Area Beam (PA /Ps > 14 dB)______________________________________
The blackout region is that area which is serviceable by neither the area beam nor the spot beam because of mutual interference between the two beams. The traffic terminating in the blackout region at the edge of each of spot beam regions 16 may have to be trunked on the ground via other stations in the neighboring region.
If advantage is taken of the spectrum shape of the 4Φ-PSK signal, the blackout region can be reduced or the S/I may be increased. For example, the capacity of the area coverage beam can be reduced by a factor of two and the modulations can be placed at the edges of the allocated 500 MHz bandwidth of the satellite downlink. The power spectrums of a 300 Mbauds spot coverage beam and two 75 Mbauds area beams are shown in FIG. 5. It should be noted that a ground station 19, intended to receive the area coverage beam 12, will have a receiving filter having characteristics which follow either spectrum A1 or A2. Therefore, the received interference power of Ss is reduced by about 6 dB due to this offsetting of modulation spectrum. Similarly, a ground station 17 intended to receive Ss will have a receiving filter having characteristics which follow spectrum S in FIG. 5. The received power of SA is reduced by about 9 dB compared to that of Ss.
Taking into account both the S/I improvement obtained by spectrum offsetting (FIG. 5) and the antenna pattern discrimination, the resultant (Ps /PA)' and (PA /Ps)' are shown by a dashed line in FIG. 4.
In FIG. 4 it can be seen that the blackout region is reduced using spectrum offsetting and antenna pattern discrimination. Again for S/I> 14 dB, the regions for (Ps /PA)' and (PA /Ps)' becomes:
______________________________________0 < θ < 1.2 θ3 dB Spot Beam (Ps /PA)' > 14 dB1.2 θ3 dB ≦ θ ≦ 1.85 θ3 Blackout region1.85 θ3 dB ≦ θ Area Beam (PA /Ps)' > 14 dB______________________________________
Compared to the previous case using only the arrangement of FIG. 2, the blackout region has been reduced to (1.85-1.2)2 /(2.25- 1)2 = 27 percent. Or, if maintaining the same blackout region, the minimum S/I in the serviceable region would be higher than 20 dB.
It is to be understood that the above described embodiments are simply illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various other modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art which will embody the principles of the invention and fall within the spirit and scope thereof.

Barack Obama's discarded helicopters could fly in Canada's air force
Some helicopters from U.S. President Barack Obama's cast-off fleet may yet find their way into the service of the Royal Canadian Air Force

OTTAWA—Some helicopters from U.S. President Barack Obama's cast-off fleet may yet find their way into the service of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The Canadian Press has learned Defence Minister Peter MacKay recently ordered National Defence to take another look at whether some of the nine VH-71 aircraft — purchased for spare parts to keep this country's search-and-rescue choppers flying — can be made fully operational.
The discarded presidential fleet has been housed at IMP Aerospace in Nova Scotia since the Harper government spent $164 million to acquire it from the Pentagon.
Both the air force and the department's material branch have insisted the American helicopters were suitable only for spares because they do not have an air worthiness certificate, nor an electronics suite for search and rescue.
But MacKay says he has ordered a review to see what sort of work would be needed to bring as many as four them on to the flight line.
He concedes it might be costly, but it would be cheaper than buying additional CH-148 Cormorants.

Microbial samples taken from populations living in the U.S. and Tanzania reveal that the microbiome of the human hand is more varied than previously thought, according to new research published in the journal Microbiology. These findings suggest that the 'standard' hand microbiome varies depending on location and lifestyle.
Results compared the microbes on the hands of women in the U.S. and Tanzania and found that organisms that have commonly been identified in prior human skin microbiome studies were highly abundant on U.S. hands, while the most abundant bacterial species on Tanzanian hands were associated with the environment, particularly soil.
The team of researchers from Yale University, Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, took hand wash samples from 15 adult American women and 29 adult Tanzanian women to compare the species of microorganisms present. In the U.S. group, all participants were graduate students, 13 of white European origin, while two were Chinese-American. In the Tanzanian group, all women were caregivers to children under 5 years of age, living in a low-income urban environment.
Dr Jordan Peccia from Yale University, who led the work, said: "If we ever hope to understand how the microbiome affects health and how environmental interactions alter it, we have to expand research to cover different populations.
"The microbial population on the graduate students' hands looks like what we think the hand microbiome 'should look like', but we can't assume that the human microbiome is a standard thing. Our research has shown that the microbial population on the things people use to interact with the environment the most – their hands – is dramatically different between groups."
The predominant microbial groups found on the US hands included members of the Propionibacteriaceae, Staphylococcaceae and Streptococcacease groups of bacteria, similar to those previously found in hand microbiome studies. In contrast, the Tanzanian samples included members of the Rhodobacteraceae and Nocardiodaceae not previously thought to be common colonisers of human skin. These groups are commonly associated with soil and aquatic environments.
The lifestyle differences between the groups are notable. None of the U.S. group was a caregiver for young children and the group spent the majority of their time indoors. The Tanzanian women live in open-air dwellings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and spend large amounts of time outdoors.
These results help to expand human microbiome results beyond U.S. and European populations, demonstrating the important role that the environment plays in shaping the microbes on people's hands.
