|Integrated Broadband Lumped-Element Symmetrical-Hybrid N-way Power Dividers
|June 07, 2009
|This paper presents a monolithically-integrated, broadband, lumped-element, symmetrical-hybrid power divider centered at 20 GHz which was designed and fabricated to uniformly distribute power to arrays of Josephson junctions for superconducting voltage standards. This solution achieves a ten-fold decrease in chip area, and a two-fold increase in bandwidth when compared to a standard distributed 180-degree-hybrid by utilizing LC Pi sections and a coplanar-waveguide phase inverter instead of transmission lines. A single divider demonstrates 0.5 dB maximum insertion loss, and a 1.5:1 VSWR bandwidth of 13-23 GHz. An eight-way, three-level, binary, power divider network is characterized in a divider/attenuator/combiner back-to-back measurement configuration with a 20 dB match bandwidth from 11.5-21.5 GHz. In the 15-22 GHz band of interest, the maximum insertion loss for the sixteen-way divider network is 1.0 dB, with an average of 0.5 dB.

Canada's Economic Action Plan: Yellowknife-Home to Canada's New Northern Project Management Office (NPMO)
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories (Sept. 11, 2009) – The Honourable Chuck Strahl, Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, today announced that the Northern Project Management Office (NPMO) will be centred in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories."The new Northern Project Management Office will have direct responsibility for coordinating northern projects and will offer a single point of contact for clients. With a central office in Yellowknife, it will be well positioned to coordinate major natural resource projects across the North," said Minister Strahl, who is also Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Metis and Non-Status Indians. "The NPMO will make a positive difference in how business is conducted in the North."
As part of the new Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor), the NPMO will coordinate the work of federal departments involved in natural resource development projects in the three territories. NPMO offices in each of the three territories will coordinate region-specific projects and federal consultation efforts.
The NPMO will work with other federal departments and agencies to develop project agreements, help ensure Aboriginal people and communities are part of the process, provide information on the status of projects to the public, and help ensure that environmental assessments and permits proceed smoothly on Northern projects. Canada's Economic Action Plan provides $50 million over five years towards the creation of the new Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor). CanNor is responsible for coordinating and delivering federal economic development activities at the regional level in the North, and for policy, research and advocacy.
Today's announcement supports the Government's integrated Northern Strategy that focuses on exercising Canada's Arctic sovereignty, protecting the North's environmental heritage, promoting social and economic development, and improving and devolving northern governance.

You've probably heard these guilt-inducing buzzwords by now:
carbon footprint and carbon offset. 'What is this
miraculous means by which I can reduce my personal assault on
Planet Earth?' you might be thinking. 'Can I actually offset all
the carbon dioxide emissions I'm responsible for?' you're saying to
yourself. Well, it's actually pretty easy and affordable. Take me
to your carbon offset leader!
A carbon offset is something you buy. It's a voluntary
investment in an activity that leads to the reduction of
Earth-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere. You can
choose to spend anywhere from $5 to $5 million on offsets, and the
project benefitting from your donation is usually up to you.
The most popular types of carbon offsets are those that plant
trees (reforestation), support activities that
help us use less fossil-fueled power (energy efficiency,
conservation), or invest in power systems that don't rely
on our dwindling fossil fuel supplies (renewable
energy). Some offset programs also invest in technologies
that help prevent methane ? another potent nasty that heats up our
lives ? from entering the atmosphere (methane
The following organizations sell carbon offsets directly to
consumers, and feature handy carbon calculators to help you
determine your environmental footprint. All are certified by an
independent agency that makes sure your dollars go where they
should. (Learn more about the
green-e certification
And here are a couple of other innovative ways to rack up carbon
Carbon offsets have proved somewhat controversial to hard-core
greenies. The idea of buying global warming indulgences just
doesn't sit well with those who advocate lifestyle changes as the
answer to our climate catastrophe. But others argue that they are
an easy way for people to make a difference and help drive market
demand for green power and other industries that are working to
stem the tide of climate change before it's too late. What do you
think? Are you enlightened? Get on your soapbox, vent, opine, or
just contribute rational thoughts to a positive dialogue by using

uShip knows that a local household move (one that is less than 50 miles) is much different than a long-distance move. To help both Shippers and Service Providers manage local moves better, uShip has made some major changes to the way these moves are handled on the uShip marketplace.
uShip is excited to announce the launch of uShip Local Moving, a better way to book and bid on local household moves. The major features of uShip Local Moving include:
- Local moving booking requests
- Hourly bids for local moves in the uShip marketplace
Local Moving Booking Requests
To help customers find local moving companies easier and to help Service Providers book local moves in their area more effectively, shippers can now send booking requests to local movers in their area, before listing their move in the uShip marketplace.
Shippers, when you are looking to move locally you will:
- Be presented rates from feedback-rated moving companies in your area
- Be given the opportunity to request services from one of these moving companies, by sending a pre-paid booking request
- Hear back from your requested company within 24 hours
If a local moving company accepts your booking request, you will be sent contact information to work out any remaining details. If they are unable to accept your move, you will have the chance to request another moving company or list your move in the uShip marketplace.
How booking requests work for Service Providers:
To receive booking requests for local moves in your area, enter your local moving rates and cities you service in My Rates. These rates will be used to pre-fill your local moving bids, saving you time and making it easier to find and bid on more shipments.
Local moving booking requests you receive are:
- Secured with a pre-paid deposit equal to the uShip fee* for that move
- Exclusively guaranteed to the Service Provider requested, which means you have 24 hours to respond before the move is listed on the uShip marketplace.
* uShip fees for local moving are now flat rates based on the number of bedrooms. Learn more about how local moving works.
Hourly bids for local moves
In addition to adding booking requests, uShip has changed the way local moves are bid on in the uShip marketplace. Local moves will now be bid on by Service Providers based on an hourly rate and the number of movers required. This will help Service Providers make more accurate bids, which helps Shippers when comparing moving companies and rates.
We look forward to seeing more and more Shippers use improved uShip Local Moving to find and book moving companies. Service Providers-we hope these changes help you win more moving jobs and bid in a more efficient and accurate way.
As always, we welcome your feedback in the Local Moving discussion thread.

Sumba, Faroe Islands

Sunnbøur (Danish: Sumbø) is the southernmost village of the Faroe Islands on the island of Suðuroy. It is located in Sumba Municipality.
The municipality has 353 inhabitants (2012). 239 of these people are living in Sumba. The other villages in the Municipality of Sumba are: Lopra (88 inns.), Akrar (26 inns.), Víkarbyrgi (0 inns.).
Sumba is known for several things, e.g. its beauty, for the high bird cliff Beinisvørð and the skills of the local people regarding Faroese chain dance. They are very good dancers and have a long tradition for singing long songs along with the chain dance. Poul F. Joensen (born 1898 - died 1970) is one of the most famous Farose poets; he was born in Sumba and grew up there. Later he got married and moved to Froðba.
Residents of the village are known as Sumbingar. The name Sumba or Sunnba is from the old name of the village which was Sunnbø/ba or Sunnbøur which means the southern-most village, but over the years misspellings by Danish rulers have led to the name Sumba. High mountains separate the village from the other settlements of the island. The village lies on the west coast as the only one on the island except from Fámjin. Sumba is said to be one of the oldest villages in the Faroe Islands. Excavations have shown traces from people from the 7th century. Sumba is an impressive village in its natural setting. The church in Sumba is from 1887.
Sumba lies behind high mountains and it used to be difficult to reach in wintertime when the storms raged, but now there is a tunnel, which makes all transport much easier. Just outside the coast of Sumba is the islet Sumbiarhólmur. In summertime men from Sumba take 7 or 8 rams out on the islet and collect them again in September.[1] The rams gain much weight when they are grassing on Sumbiarhólmur, up to 30 pounds, and the meat gets much tastier according to the people from Sumba.[2] In 1997 a tunnel was blown through the mountains from Lopra to Sumba. This makes life easier for people in Sumba who work in Vágur or Tvøroyri.
South of Sumba just above the village Lopra you will encounter a fork in the road. One way leads to the old, but passable mountain road to Sumba, the other leads to the long tunnel through the mountain, which is the more direct route to Sumba. If you take the mountain road, you could stop near the birdscliff Beinisvørð, which rises vertically 470 meters above the sea. From the top, there is a magnificent view over the sea, rocks and sea stacks deep below. It is possible to climb Beinisvørð from the backside even if it is pretty steep. In 1975 a part of the top of Beinisvørð fell into the sea. The people from Sumba used to catch birds in Beinisvørð. Some men have lost their lives because of it.
Sports in Sumba[edit]
Sumba had a sports club, Sunnbiar Ítróttarfelag, which was a football club and a rowing club. The football club played mostly in the second best division, but in 1990 they were promoted to the best division, where they played for one year and then they got relegated. In 2005 Sumba and VB Vágur merged into VB/Sumba, which changed their name into FC Suðuroy in 2010. The sports club of Sumba had two rowing boats, which competed in the rowing competitions which are held around the islands every summer, seven events all together. Sunnbingur is a 10-mannafar, which is the largest boat type which competes in these competitions, it was built in 1957 and participated from that year until 1965. They won several races and even sat a Faroese record. The other boat is called Broddur, it is a 5-mannafar, the current boat was built in 1974, and it is no longer in use for the FM races (FM is short for Føroya Meistari, which means Faroese Champion). It was however used in a local rowing race in Sumba in May 2012, when they arranged a festival where they opened a new museum with stuffed Faroese birds and historical items, they had art exhibitions, concerts, hiking trips, boat trips and a rowing competition in the sound between Sumba village and the islet Sumbiarhólmur just outside the village. The current is quite strong there so rowing is not easy, but two of three boats managed to complete the race.

NUM members down tools at Eskom despite the illegal strike putting their jobs at risk
The union rejected a wage hike offer but its main demand is for certain workers to be declared non-essential and to have the right to strike.
The union rejected a wage hike offer but its main demand is for certain workers to be declared non-essential and to have the right to strike.
Northam Platinum has done "fantastically" compared with other platinum mines.
The Chamber of Mines and National Union of Mineworkers have a case to answer about Ubank's reckless lending.
New National Union of Mineworkers general secretary David Sipunzi wants to rebuild bridges within the fractured trade union federation.
The Farlam inquiry has heard that Lonmin miners took their cue from the violent, but effective, protests at their neighbouring platinum firm.
Three years of labour upheaval and a political push for safety and better wages have set in motion a drive to mechanise platinum mines.
On the eastern arm of the platinum belt, a battle for supremacy is brewing between Amcu and the National Union of Mineworkers.
Confident after its success on the platinum belt, the union wants to consolidate its gains in the platinum industry.
The NUM has rejected a 0.5% increase in Northam Platinum's wage offer, says the union.
Numsa general secretary Irvin Jim has declared war on the National Union of Mineworkers, saying it will recruit openly in the mining industry.
Veteran unionist Senzeni Zokwana has joined Gwede Mantashe's call for leaders in Cosatu's two main factions to solve their differences.
Murders at Marikana resulting from union rivalry between the NUM and Amcu has violated the peace accord signed in February, says Thandi Modise.
The rand dropped 1.4% in the past few days as strikes at platinum mines continue.
Over 7 000 NUM members representing approximately 80% of the workers at the Northam platinum mine have gone on strike, says the union.
Workers affiliated to the National Union of Mineworkers are demanding salary increases of up to R2100.
Parliament has adopted the Employment Tax Incentive, or youth wage Subsidy, Bill.
The mining union's change of tactics governing wage talks has suggested that last year's bloody mine violence at Marikana may be avoided this year.

My point exactly.

EDIT: Actually, how about this. We wait one more week, and if he doesn't post on this forum or try to meet with the other members of this crew, we elect a new leader, alright?
Yes. Anyway, was the pun intended?Originally posted by michaelan:

Err no. I really meant a flame war would happen.. But now that I think of it, that was a pretty good pun.

A Central Point man faces several felony charges after allegedly leading police on a car chase that ended in Medford early this morning, Oregon State Police said.
The pursuit began after an OSP trooper attempted to stop a 1994 Honda Accord on Highway 99 at Highway 62 just after midnight. The driver refused to pull over and attempted to speed away from the trooper.
The Honda continued into Medford, where it was disabled by spike strips in the area of East McAndrews Road and Royal Avenue.
The driver, later identified as Cody Rea Ledezma, 24, sprinted from the Honda, leaving behind his two passengers. He was soon captured by officers, OSP said.
Ledezma was found to be in possession of more than four ounces of marijuana and small amounts of methamphetamine and oxycodone, OSP said.
He was lodged in the Jackson County Jail on two counts of attempted to elude police in a vehicle, attempting to elude police on foot, two counts of reckless driving, recklessly endangering another and possession of drugs.
The two passengers, a 24-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl, were not arrested.

The administration was pressing ahead Thursday with its full-scale sales job, holding another round of closed-door meetings for members of Congress about its intelligence on Syria. On another continent, Obama was certain to face questions from world leaders when he

Q&A: Gov. Malloy Discusses Newtown
Gov. Dannel Malloy, the first-term governor of Connecticut, has navigated a narrow path in the wake of the shooting rampage that killed 26 victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The hard-driving governor has been forced into difficult roles, speaking to crowds of mourners and in front of fellow politicians still stunned by the carnage. On the day of the shooting, Malloy took it upon himself to inform some parents and family members of their loved ones' deaths.
The reviews weren't all positive: the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that some family members were put off by Malloy's tone in making the announcement. The governor's closest aides described him as "stricken," and obligated to deliver the most difficult news as directly as he could.
Malloy spoke with the Journal on Tuesday afternoon. The interview is condensed and edited below.
WSJ: So how are you holding up?
Malloy: Pretty well. It's been a brutal week. There are moments that are easier than others. I've attended three funerals so far (with more to come). I'm amazed at the strength, in each case, of the mothers who stood up and spoke about their children.
WSJ: Is this the worst event you've had to cope with as an elected official, whether as mayor or as governor?
Malloy: You'd be hard-pressed to have a worse day than we did last Friday.
WSJ: How are you handling other responsibilities? You have a special session (on Wednesday) and a deficit to close.
Malloy: At some point on Friday, I said to my staff and Ben (Barnes, the state budget chief), I basically had to say, 'Listen, get this deal done, make it something I can find, and keep me informed. There are other things that are just going to have to take precedence.'
WSJ: What about the responsibility of consoling people, telling people their children had died? Is it a challenge for you?
Malloy: I think there is a sense, fed by the media, that I am this unfeeling automaton that just comes to work every day and goes to work without feeling. I reflect on what I do before, during and after I do it. And I have some strengths that I've had to call upon, as I did on Friday and in the days since.
WSJ: Have you thought about the scene there, at the firehouse?
Malloy: I haven't thought about much else but the firehouse. It's just a terrible set of circumstances to come into. And as I said yesterday, it was clear to me that the protocols (before notifying parents of the identification of their children) were making things worse, not better. It was time to have a discussion with all of these people who were afraid to go home because they were holding out hope and wanted to be there. They probably needed to get home and be surrounded by a broader support network than we had in the room. (Police said) the scene was not going to be cleared til the middle of the night or sunrise. Things would have to move to Farmington (site of the chief medical examiner's office) and only after that would there be notification. That didn't make sense to me.
WSJ: Can you describe what you said, how you told them?
Malloy: I said words to the effect of, 'If you haven't been reunited with your loved one by now, that's not going to happen.' I was describing to the families what the procedure was (for collecting the remains of their family members). …Within an hour or two, all but three families had gone home.
WSJ: You've started to talk about policy. How do you decide when it's appropriate to discuss the law when it's your state that is suffering?
Malloy: I've given very few interviews and those interviews were on our terms. Whatever I do, it's to try to be supportive of these families. These (policy) discussions are going to take place, and the president certainly opened things up with his remarks on Sunday night. I have a slightly different job, of making sure my state gets through the next week. I'm not going to shy away from these things, but I'm clearly concentrating on helping the families first.
WSJ: What about your own state of mind? How are you dealing with all you've seen and had to do?
Malloy: Well, I have people that I call. I have a big family, and all my family is calling me, on a regular basis, to see how I'm holding up. I have, in some sense, the advantage of having to worry about everybody else, and that's a way of filling up my time. I have a bunch of troopers and policemen who went in and saw some unspeakable things, I've got town officials who did the same. I have plenty to keep me busy. There are moments I appreciate that.

Last week this group was discussing "best low cost firewalls". Here
was my (late)
response which got burried in the middle of all the other posts:
How about the real IP/subnetmask/port firewall built into your
It's free, it operates at layer 3, and it is working outside your PC's
messy world,
inline before the Ethernet frames even reach your PC. The ones I have
(cisco/linksys) are capable of doing some filtering for the OSI layers
4-7 (anti-virus/
spyware) again *before* the encapslated data even reaches the insecure
world of
your PC. These kind of devices also can do NAT to hide the IP address
of your
internal private network.
Here is my question for the group:
What about low cost NAC devices that inspect layers 4-7 to identify who
you are and
where you can go on the network? According to InfoWorld (June 2006)
systems has the best upper end product, where prices are in the tens of
of dollars, and where there is a need for 4 Gigabit interfaces, strong
and strong encryption for upwards of 5,000 concurrent users. Thus
creating VPNs
for those clients using LDAP, SecureID, Radius, etc).
Has anyone on the list done research on low cost (< $3k, for example)
for upper layer protection *before* the data even reaches the insecure
world of Windows?
I'm aware of what can be built using UNIX/LINUX but what about low cost
off the shelf
device that does heavy statefull inspection of layers 4-7 *before* the
data even reaches
the insecure world of your PC?
Cheers, ~DRH~

NEW MADRID -- New Madrid County Central appears to be well-armed for the 2006 baseball season.
According to coach John Jones, 17 of his 29-player roster can pitch.
"Out of our starting nine, seven are legitimate pitchers," said Jones. "I've got the luxury this year of not having to worry about one or two or three kids having to carry the load. We've got some great young kids out there and I've also been blessed with six left-handed pitchers this year.
"We won't have to wear anybody down. Lots of time, you get started good and you just seem to wear those arms down by district time. Hopefully, we can cut some back or at least cut down on their pitches per game."
The Eagles, coming off a 6-10 record and fourth-place finish in the SEMO Conference in 2005, look solid with three all-district performers returning.
Senior Jordan Kimball, who has signed to play baseball at Arkansas State University, will play shortstop and take turns on the mound.
Last season, the slick-fielding Kimball led the team in runs scored with 16, tied for the team lead in RBIs with 11 and was second in batting average at .404. He also led the Eagles in home runs with two.
"I think the pressure's off him," said Jones. "He's come in, been loose and been a real joy to coach. You can tell the difference in his mentality. He's here to have fun, show what he can do and get ready for bigger and better things."
Senior center fielder/pitcher Thomas Higgerson, also an all-district choice, led the Eagles with a .441 average and shared the RBI lead with 11.
"He's gotten a lot stronger and is seeing the ball well," Jones said. "He's going to have an outstanding year."
Third baseman Dylan Harris was voted to the all-district team as a sophomore and has shown marked improvement in preseason workouts.
Said Jones, "His arm has gotten much stronger and he'll flat knock it down at third base and get it across the diamond."
Harris, who will also see mound duty, hit for a .347 average last season with eight RBIs and one home run.
Rounding out the Eagles' starting lineup are junior first baseman Trey Sullinger, sophomore second baseman Landon Lingle, junior right fielder Woody Smelser, senior left fielder Colt Pruitt and senior catcher Andy Gantner.
Right-hander Matt Whiteside, a junior, will open the season on the hill for the Eagles.
Jones likes the versatility and experience of this Eagle squad.
"They're all multi-talented and can play a lot of positions," he said. "We've got a boatload of experience coming back and I couldn't ask for any better work ethic than these kids have given me. They come early and they love to stay late."
Top reserves will be sophomore catcher Matt Carter ("dandy little catcher"), sophomore shortstop/pitcher Kyle Marshall, sophomore first baseman/
pitcher Josh St. Mary ("big, strong kid who looks like a senior, size-wise"), freshman second baseman Clint Tanner, freshman third baseman/pitcher Sean Thomason ("rocket for an arm, already throwing in low 80s") and freshman pitcher Matt Williams ("tall, rangy kid with plenty of pop on his fastball").
Jones is ecstatic about a group of nine talented freshmen.
"They can go," he said. "I'm really looking forward to watching this JV bunch play. I want them to see what it's like at this level. We've put a lot on them, but they're taking it in."
Offensively, Jones expects last year's team batting average of .314 to improve dramatically this season.
"I think we can bump that up to .360-.375, if this spring is any indication of how we're going to hit the ball," he said. "If we can be patient, find our pitch, then we're going to be able to put it in play and make the defenses work."
Jones said a new attitude infusion at NMCC has carried over to the baseball team.
"It started in football--started winning again, then they turned it around in basketball," he said. "Things are on a positive note around here right now, getting back in that groove and getting that swagger back. The kids are confident and, this year, if adversity does strike, we'll be able to put it behind us and take care of business.
"We're looking to right the ship and win some ballgames this year."
Jones sees a tough SEMO Conference race with Notre Dame, new member Kennett, Poplar Bluff and Jackson being strong contenders for the championship.
Added Jones, "And Sikeston is going to be Sikeston. I don't care how many they (players) lose, they're going to be a good ballclub, but if I had to give a No. 1 seed, it would probably be Jackson."

The area's premier choice for design and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems
Millennium 3 EnergyEnergy is now an everyday topic of discussion, but many of us are left with the question, "WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING?"
Our world has long been powered by finite and in many cases "dirty" energy resources. The term carbon footprint is now part of the language. Large coal generating plants, while getting cleaner, will not be the long-range solution to meeting increasing demand. Electric rates will continue to rise, and our energy habits can no longer consist of simply paying monthly bills that we do not attempt to manage. More and more green technologies offer efficient and cost-effective alternatives.
Millennium 3 Energy -- M3E -- would like to be your solar power energy partner. If you seek solutions for smart, economical, and earth-friendly use of energy, we have the know-how and the resources to help you make positive change. We install efficient lighting and lighting controls systems; and we can advise on other renewable energy technologies, including solar thermal systems and small wind systems. Wonder about a grid connection with net metering? Are all solar panels the same? What are these energy tax credits, tax deductions, grants, and renewable energy credits? Talk to us. We will provide turnkey solutions for your energy needs.

Windows 7 - windowed mode, frame skippingPosted Sunday, 23 January, 2011 - 19:25 by james_lohr in
I'm having trouble in windowed mode whereby I get occasional periods of frame skipping.
For example, if I turn on VSync and put a stopwatch in the OnRenderFrame() method, it starts off smooth (with 16.66.. ms per frame). However, after about 20-30 seconds I start getting 2ms followed by 30ms . It's very noticeable in the game. It's definitely not an issue with my computer not being able to cope, because if I turn Vsync off and don't limit the rate, I get > 1000 fps.
I tried the following: I turned VSync off, and used my own high-resolution timer (this uses winmm.dll for high resolution sleeping) to limit the OnRenderFrame() method. Doing this, the stopwatch now reports 16.66 ms consistently, however I can still SEE the frame skipping.
The issue goes away completely if I use fullscreen mode.
Any ideas?
I've seen something similar with the camera control for a low frame rate (30-40 frames per second). I have not clear whether it is a problem in OpenTK or in my code in any case, I think the solution is to interpolate the movement of the camera. This you can see in OpenTK Demo, where the camera movement is very smooth and not be seen jumping and of course always active VSYNC
Regards, ... Miguel
I'm pretty certain this has nothing to do with my code. I will attempt to recreate it with the demo. The point is that it only occurs in Windowed mode on Windows 7. It also appears to happen on both my PC and latop which have vastly different configurations.

Neptune is one of the great gods of all time. He's the Greek god of the sea, everybody knows that! He controls the seas, he has a Cyclops for a son, and he has a killer beard. That's pretty much anything a human being could ever want to be. The Blue Neptune Greek God Costume takes practically all of the visual aspects of that debonair deity and turns it into one great get-up.While it doesn't come with a trident or a beard (you'll have to get those separately, I'm afraid), it does have a crown, which is more than enough to prove your superiority over all mortals. Come down from Mt. Olympus this Halloween and get into the Blue Neptune Greek God Costume. It's a wise decision if I've ever seen one.

Older people get their own simple computer
The SimplicITy line was designed to help older people get to grips with computing.
A discount website for older people is behind the development of a new simplified desktop computer, designed to make it easier for those put off by all the features on standard machines.
Run by former Blue Peter presenter Valerie Singleton, Digital Age teamed up with Wessex Computers to create the SimplicITy machines, which is a standard desktop with an operating that features just six main buttons and basic software.
"For some time now, we have been aware of the need among older people for a simpler type of computer," said Singleton.
"A large number of 50 pluses only require email, internet, a writing package, perhaps a means of storing or viewing pictures and a facility to chat," she added. "We don't need the bells and whistles that modern computers offer, we just need something that's simple to use and reliable."
The PCs run an Ubuntu spin-off called Linux Mint, which was designed to be simple to use. There are just six options: email, browse the web, documents, profile, chat and video tutorials - featuring Singleton.
For those users who do manage to get lost in the system, there's a "back to square one" button to return them to the start.
A basic version of the machine starts at £300 for a single-core, with peripherals and a monitor bringing the cost to £435. A dual-core system starts from £390.
The SimplicITy systems can be ordered online through PayPal or via the post with a cheque.
A recent report previously noted that getting everyone online will save the economy some £22 billion.

Further fortification isn't the answer, alliances say
SAN DIEGO — Under the watch of a Border Patrol agent, U.S. and Mexican pastors set up two small altars — one on each side of a towering border fence — for their Sunday service that spans two countries.
The priests then break bread simultaneously and hold up their challises to the tightly woven metal barrier. The guitar player is in Mexico, strumming a song led by clergy on the U.S. side. The buzzing of a passing Border Patrol officer on an all-terrain vehicle interrupts the music.

You have several options.
1: Take the disk out and put it on a real operating system that understands
the file system (such as RedHat Linux), and use the Samba there to transfer
the files.
2: Set up an FTP server on the Linux box and transfer the files using FTP.
3: Set up an FTP server on the Windows box and transfer the files using FTP.
But get the hell *away* from using any sophisticated services on the SCO
box: they've demonstrated their incompetence repeatedly over the last, I
dunno, 6 years? If you need an SMB server, you should be using 3.0 on a
Linux or other system with a significant userbase and without the licensing
whackiness and support craziness SCO is going through.

British Columbia Set to Kick off Canada's Budget Season
By Paul Vieira
The Canadian province of British Columbia releases its 2013 budget in a few hours, or 5:30 pm ET, making it the first big Canadian province to unveil its fiscal plan in the 2013 budget season. (Quebec jumped the gun in November after a new government there came to power.)
While in past budget cycles, Canada has enjoyed a relatively robust financial outlook compared to its G-7 peers, this time around, there are more headwinds: super-high consumer debt; lackluster commodities and energy prices; wobbly housing prices.
British Columbia's Liberal government faces re-election in May and is lagging the left-leaning New Democratic Party in most opinion polls. Economists expect the British Columbia government to record a fiscal 2013 deficit of 1.47 billion Canadian dollars ($1.46 billion), but to then say it is on track to record a small budget surplus for fiscal 2014.
Robert Kavcic, economist at BMO Capital Markets, told clients the British Columbia budget could include items such as a natural-gas export tax amid a host of plans by energy producers to build and ship gas out of the province. Another possibility: the establishment of a rainy-day fund financed through a portion of resource revenue.
Canada Real Time has already previewed the coming budget season in Canadian politics. The expectation is that most governments are going to record a deterioration in their budget balances, forcing them to consider a delay as to when they expect to record a budget surplus.
Canada's federal Conservative government, led by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has yet to disclose its budget date, but Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said over the weekend the document would "squarely focus" on hitting the goal of a balanced budget in 2015, or in time for the next national election.
Alberta, which faces dire fiscal pressure due to the lower price its heavy crude is fetching on the market compared to other international blends, has set a budget date of March 7.

Kim Kardashian seems to use every moment of the day to attract the public's attention and increase her fan base. Luckily for her, she does not have to give a speech or read a script to do so. It is only evident that her body does all the promotion for her. Kim has gone on to feature another one of her new innovations, which has sparked a ripple of comments and "likes" and has fascinated thousands of her followers. She now uses her film breaks to take a dip and show off her curves in bikini while underwater.
Perhaps this is her response to many critics, who believe that most of her photos are photoshopped to enhance their look. Kim is confident that she is a rare beauty and seizes every moment to demonstrate it. Her list of innovations to gain publicity appears to be unending and she even adds a little more to it by tweeting comments such as "Swim good" and "air needs me".
She has created a sort of suspense in the minds of her viewers, who can't seem to get enough of it. Nearly all of her followers wonder about what her next move would be and she surprises them each and every time. It's no surprise that her reality show is turning out to be so successful. Her passion for publicity is also shared by her boyfriend, Kanye West, who also enjoys the practice, snapping her photo and posting it with the caption of his recent single. He captured the scene as she flaunted her rear in a white dress.
Kim Kardashian uses nearly all of the possible ways to promote herself and in turn, increase the awareness of her Brands. With this new method of gaining the public's attention and striking the eyes of millions, she is definitely on the way to increasing her ratings.
Kim Kardashian bikini in the news:
Kim Kardashian is proud to show off her famous curves. The E! celeb recently enjoyed a family vacation to Greece, and the pregnant star was not about to spend her entire getaway in a poncho. Like many previously preg A-listers, Kim embraced her baby bump and flaunted her bare belly while rocking multiple bikinis during her trip. (eOnline)
Kim Kardashian first revealed her bare pregnant belly in an Instagram photo last month and this month she is baring it all in a teeny bikini on the cover of Us Weekly magazine. The 32-year-old appears on the cover of this week's Us Weekly alongside the headline "Kim dares to bare: You Call This Fat?" In the photo, Kim bares her baby bump and curvy pregnant body in a skimpy purple bikini. The shot was taken while she was soaking up the sun in Mykonos, Greece, with her family. (Huffington Post)
She has admitted to struggling to adjust to the changes pregnancy has brought to her body. But as she proudly showed off her bump in a simple bikini, Kim Kardashian proved she is finally at ease with her new shape. Looking happy and healthy, her hair in braids and skin barely made up, the seven months' pregnant reality star was a true beauty. (Daily Mail)

Jose Mourinho has backed his former player at Real Madrid, Mesut Ozil, to shine at the World Cup, if he is given the trust and support he needs.
Ozil's input was rather overshadowed by Thomas Mueller's hat-trick in Germany's opening 4-0 win over Portugal and the playmaker has come into the World Cup off the back of a mixed debut season with Arsenal.
However, Mourinho, speaking as Yahoo's Global Football Ambassador, says Ozil can make an impression if he is managed well by coach Joachim Loew.
"I think it is hard to criticise him, because Ozil is Ozil," said Mourinho. "If you are expecting Ozil to be super aggressive and to be running miles and miles from side to side and to show great enthusiasm and aggressivity, this is not Mesut.
"If you are waiting for somebody where every time he touches the ball, the ball smiles, every time he makes a pass the ball goes with the right direction, the right speed, the right intensity, this is Ozil.
"At the same time I learned with him, because we worked together for quite a long time, that he is a very sensitive boy. He needs confidence, he needs trust, he needs to feel that people are with him.
"When he is on the pitch, every time he touches the ball the ball goes beautiful and he finds always the right man in the right place; or sometimes you don't see him, sometimes he doesn't go to the screen many, many times but when he goes he is a special player."
Germany take on Ghana on Saturday night after beating Portugal in their opening game and appear to be performing as an impressive team unit, even if they don't have a genuine world superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
Will this affect their chances as the tournament wears on? See Jose's views in the video below.
We also spoke to Jose about whether Germany's use of four centre-backs across their defence was conducive to World Cup success, and you can see his answer below.

The amount of data that can be harvested from mobile phones is amazing: the way someone holds a phone, who they call, where they go, etc. All without requiring any input from the users themselves. We have an infrastructure to collect mobile phone sensor data. The goal of this project is to select a behavior of interest, learn that behavior through data collection from some number of smart phone users, and then use that behavior in an interesting application. For example, we have used information on when and how people charge their phones to identify when to perform network- or computation-heavy tasks without affecting battery life; we have used movement data of individuals to determine when a phone has likely been lost or stolen.

I'm not a fan of the pixies. I've only heard two songs and the other one I don't like
I've got to ask what the other song was. Cause, y'know, Pixies are about the best band ever, and though I like "All Over the World," I'd hate to think of anyone considering it their creative peak.Just for you, Beltene, I'm gonna play some Pixies tonight.

Are all things being redeemed … even Pokemon Go?! C'mon. We're handing out our very last Desperate Theology award and we hope the winner will take it in stride! In light of Pokemon, Carl, Aimee, and Todd sit down to talk "Hyperreality", that is, the reality that isn't. We live in a world increasingly fixated on what's fabricated. Screens have gripped our eyes and crippled the imagination. "It's all crap and it's destroying our souls," says one no-name Englishman. So what is reality and why do we shy away from it? You'd think it's an obvious answer, but how often do we function far from the natural created world before and around us with little awareness?
