|Simon Beardsley, CEO Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce
The pot of money, called the Greater Lincolnshire Business Capital Growth Fund, is a capital grant programme which will provide grant funding on a competitive basis and support for businesses in preparing an application.
Grants ranging between £10,000 and £250,000 will be available to local businesses and inward investors who can demonstrate sound business growth investment proposals linked to significant job creation. It is expected the programme will create 234 direct jobs and 66 supply chain jobs, as well as safeguarding 63 existing positions.
Simon Beardsley, Chief Executive of the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, said he is delighted with the award. "We have been listening hard to what our members and county businesses have been saying about the challenges they face accessing business finance," he said.
"As a result we have actively searched for new funding streams that will help address the problem. This news will be most welcome to companies that have high growth potential but need financial support to make the next move.
"The dedicated business advisor will be beneficial to SMEs who have growth potential but may have been put off in the past by the amount of paperwork needed to benefit from such a scheme.
"Through the RGF funds, our emphasis will be on helping Greater Lincolnshire companies grow and develop, which in turn will create new jobs and support the local economy. And giving businesses access to finance which will support their capital expenditure aspirations will also put them on a level playing field with other regions of the UK that have benefited from this support in the past."
Cllr Colin Davie from the LEP board added: "This funding will support local businesses to grow and reach their full potential by financing things such as a move to a bigger premises or investment in new plant machinery and equipment. It is an opportunity for our region to continue to grow and be known as a place to do business."
The programme will be managed by the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce with support from the LEP, Lincolnshire County Council and the FSB.
If you would like to know how your business could benefit from the new funding, please contact the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce on 01522 523333 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

RBC Also Hired Tech Team From Barclays
RBC Capital Markets' hiring of superstar technology analyst Mark Mahaney is the latest bolstering of the bank's U.S. investment banking business.
RBC also recently hired three managing directors from Barclays PLC to join its technology investment banking group in New York, people familiar with the matter said.
Mahaney, who was dismissed from Citigroup in October after it determined he broke disclosure rules, had been a key analyst at Citigroup, often credited with drawing tech firms to the bank's advisory team.
Mahaney will be the biggest name in the group of recent tech hires, where the Toronto bank has climbed into the No. 10 spot globally, when counting by investment banking revenues in technolgy, Dealogic said. Just three years ago it was as low as No. 20 in global tech revenues, according to the data provider.
The three are: Michal Katz, who headed the global software practice at Barclays's technology banking group; Erik-Jaap Molenaar, who worked in the bank's tech M&A group; and Michael Carter, who headed up enterprise systems and services banking.
The trio left Barclays at the end of last year and are expected to join RBC Capital in the coming months, the people said.

Spousal Assets
75 lawmakers report a significant amount of holdings in the names of their spouses. The assets include stocks, retirement funds, real estate and bank accounts.
What industries does Lowey invest in?
Many assets can be tied to specific industries, such as finance, agriculture or
natural resources. "Mixed" investments are assets not tied to a specific industry.
Lowey's estimated
2010 liabilities
What asset types does Lowey hold?
Assets are lumped into groups such as real estate, stocks,
mutual funds or cash.
NOTE: "Mixed" investments are assets that are not tied to a specific industry. Charted change in annual estimated wealth is capped at 200 percent increase and 100 percent decrease for clarity. See the full methodology here.
SOURCES: Congressional financial disclosure forms, Center for Responsive Politics, Washington Post analysis.
About the data
The estimation of assets for lawmakers is based on calculating the midpoint of reported value ranges for holdings and liabilities that members of Congress list on financial disclosure forms. It does not reflect assets lawmakers are not required to disclose, such as personal residences and non-interest bearing bank accounts. The estimation is not intended to provide a complete portrait of the net worth of each legislator, but rather show their relative standing in Congress and how their holdings have changed over time.

The best netbook-friendly Linux distros
Android on your Eee, anyone?
Google Android
Ever since it was first talked about, Android has been an exciting prospect and its use on netbooks as well as mobile phones has been on the books since day one. Acer claims to be launching an Android-based netbook later this year, and we expect other laptop makers to do the same.
Android marches from phones to netbooks
Right now, though, the project needs a lot of work to make the transition from phone to desktop a smooth one. There are guides on compiling the Android source code for your x86-based netbook, but even when you've got it, it's lacking even the most basic of netbook functionality. You won't get support for your mouse, let alone wired or wireless networks. Without internet access, you won't find much in the way of software support, either, even a basic word processor.
The UI works, but software support is limited
It's going to take a lot of work and an official netbook launch before we see this being a grown your own option, but it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. And if you're happy tinkering, it can be fun to try.
Good OS' gOS
Gadgets 3.1 is the latest version of gOS publicly available. Even so, it's based on Ubuntu 8.04 'Hardy' which is now over a year old. There's a new version, Cloud, on the way, and it's more netbook-centric than Gadgets. However, it's focused on linking your netbook to online applications and it's designed to act as a quick-access environment alongside Windows.
In the meantime, though, we still have Gadgets. More than just a re-spin of Ubuntu, gOS Gadgets looks and feels incredibly different. Google Gadgets have been integrated into the desktop and the Mac OS X-like dock has icons for every cloud-based service Google offers – as well as other popular services. The dock works really nicely, but from our experience most of the Google Gadgets are a little pointless or Windows specific.
gOS: cloud computing with Google Gadgets
Certainly the the choice of installed software is impressive, with Skype as standard, plus the Windows emulation environment Wine, Picasa for pictures and Thunderbird for email. Clearly some thought has gone into choosing these, with a look and feel that matches its modern outlook.
Unfortunately, wireless wouldn't work on any of our machines – and neither would our 3G dongles. Decent 3G dongle support was added in the Ubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid' release, which came six months after Hardy, which just goes to show how far behind the curve Gadgets really is.
That said, gOS is very promising and certainly worth a look – if only to work out what packages you should install onto Ubuntu to get a similar look and feel. Hopefully, Cloud will be publicly available and exceed our expectations. If you fancy giving 3.1 a go, with enough Googling, you'll find ways of activating your wireless and maybe even get your dongle working. The instructions should be the same as it would be for Ubuntu.

Evaporating Adaptec sells RAID business
PMC-Sierra gets it
Adaptec is selling its RAID channel storage business to PMC-Sierra for $34m, but will keep its Aristos ASIC technology business as it looks for ways to invest its $400m cash pile.
Activist investor Steel Partners gained control of Adaptec a few months ago and is now asset-stripping the business. Adaptec as a RAID adapter company is now dead, and the company consists merely of its portfolio of more than 200 patents, the Aristos ASIC stuff, a few buildings and - the crown jewels, we think - that $400m.
PMC-Sierra said the channel storage business includes Adaptec's RAID storage product line, a well-established global value added reseller customer base, board logistics capabilities, and leading SSD cache performance solutions. PMC-Sierra will also assume certain liabilities related to the business.
Greg Lang, PMC-Sierra's president and CEO, said: "I am excited about this acquisition and the future growth opportunities it presents through the strong strategic fit between our core strengths in enterprise storage and the established channel storage business of Adaptec."
PMC-Sierra expects to employ approximately 90 people from Adaptec located in seven different geographies, with the majority in California.
The Adaptec board stated that it will: "...explore all strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the sale and the Company's other assets, which may include stock buybacks, special cash dividends, future acquisitions and other actions to redeploy capital. Additionally, the Company will, as previously announced, continue to consider its options related to its Aristos ASIC technology business, remaining patents and real estate holdings."
This looks like longhand for saying that everything Adaptec owns is up for sale, and its cash may be used to fill shareholders' pockets directly or to buy other companies. Adaptec is in effect a cash-rich shell.
One odd aspect of the deal, according to Howard Marks of testing lab DeepStorage, is that PMC-Sierra is a chip company and would have wanted the Aristos chip business. The deal as it stands doesn't make sense to him, and Marks thinks that there must be some other aspect to it.
Jack Howard, Adaptec's chairman, said: "This transaction with PMC-Sierra, which represents the sale of a small portion of the Company's total assets ... continues the process of moving the Company away from its previous unprofitable identity as a 'pure-play' technology company. The Board of Directors remains committed to providing value to all of the Company's stockholders, and will aggressively pursue opportunities to deploy the significant cash and liquid assets on hand to create value for the Company's stockholders."
The RAID business sale to PMC-Sierra should close in thirty days. Farewell Adaptec - you're just another storage memory now. ®

Waaaaiiiit a minute...
So you're saying British people go to Rome on their class trips and dress like this.
And Americans go to the living room on their class trips and dress like this.
One of us is getting gypped.

I love your blog, so don't take this the wrong way, but saying gypped is really gross. it's like saying someone "jewed" you. it refers to "gypsies" who are actually called Rom and basically is a really bigoted thing to say. i don't know if you just didn't realize this? anyway, i truly enjoy your blog.

bellisimama im sorry if it offended you. the use of the word is legit by way of websters english dictionary
while jewed would be a slang derivation of the definition of jew. so there's a difference.
that being said--words that are now in are dictionary have racist origins--for sure. you have a point. but it's one best taken up with the lord and lady merriam- webster.
that being said, i'll think twice the next time i use it.

The project can currently be split into 2 main working areas
- The Core Modules
- The Technology-Specific Modules
which itself once more split into smaller sub-areas
UFaceKit works on different levels using a layered setup first and fore most UFaceKit needs to have an Eclipse-Databinding for Widget and Model-Technologies it wants to use. Some of them are provided by other projects (SWT-Observable, EMF-Observables) and UFaceKit reuses them. For other technologies it provides the implementation as part of the UFaceKit project.
On top of this enabling bits UFaceKit provides higherlevel APIs for easier use
and built-in support for advanced features like:
- declarative styleing (e.g. using CSS)
- declarative ui definition using Ecore
- automatic decoration support
- ...
The Modules
The Core Module
The core modules of UFaceKit define the common ToolKit-Independent UFaceKit-API and features like styling and JavaScript expressions. A detailed description of the modules can be found here.
The Technology-Specific Module
Modules in this section hold technology specifc implementations from generic APIs ranging from UFaceKit-API to Databinding-API for example IObservable implementations for Swing-Controls.
Contributing to UFaceKit
- Setting up within Eclipse
- Setting up using Maven
Consuming UFaceKit
Examples Codes
We have a set of Example applications you can take a look at to get started. They exploit all features provided by UFaceKit and you can learn how the we expect UFaceKit to work
- Addressbook-Example
- ... hopefully more in future ...

If it's MPICH-GM, binaries will only run on Myrinet. If it's Scali, I don't know, I guess it chooses Myrinet or Ethernet at runtime. In this case, you can look at the output of gm_board_info on a node where your job is running, and see if any of the PIDs and the command lines of programs using a GM port matches your application process. It may still be possible that Scali opens a GM port without using it. Another solution would be to unplug a few nodes but Scali may be able to use Ethernet only for the nodes where Myrinet has been unplugged. You can also look at the GM counters (with gm_counters) and see if the number of packets sent/received goes up. However, you would not be sure if another process is using Myrinet at that time or if IP/Myrinet is up and running too. I guess there should be a way with Scali to know which device is used at runtime, but I really don't know how. Is it the same problem than the Myricom Help ticket #30885 ?

After a warm welcome from former Troop Committee Chairman Jim Rodisch and the flag ceremony performed by active senior members of the troop, there was an invocation by the Rev. Paul Cunningham and a "thank you" to the two sponsors of the troop, La Jolla Presbyterian Church and the La Jolla Kiwanis.
As dinner was served BSA Council Board Members, past Troop 4 Scoutmasters, committee chairs and Eagle Scouts were honored with a recognition ceremony. The keynote speaker was Rear Adm. Len Hering Sr. (Ret), who addressed the role of Scouting in the nation and noted some of the famous men in numerous fields who began the road to manhood in Scouting and achieved the high rank of Eagle Scout. Among the many cited were baseball great Hank Aaron, astronaut Neil Armstrong, director and author Michael Moore, director Stephen Spielberg and Wal-Mart foun-der Sam Walton.
Perhaps the highlight of the evening was a nostalgic look back on local Scout history by way of a slide show, which featured pictures dating to the early 20th century. Many of the guests showed up in slides from as far back as the 1960s. One family, the Kronemyer clan, has been involved for three generations with the troop.
It was with humor, optimism and confidence that there were calls for looking ahead to the second century of Troop 4 La Jolla.

I am open to any suggestions and comments. :) I am going to stick my head out here: configuring a multi-purpose cluster with diskless nodes is a misconfiguration. Only if you know that you'll never run a job with significant I/O on your cluster you could consider going diskless. Otherwise: stay away from that. (you could install a high-performance file server on your cluster - we actually have a Netapp NFS server - but for g98 your network becomes the bottleneck. Furthermore, this is definitely more expensive than installing local disks ...)

The man with the plastic mesh bag is looking for a sale. Hanging out in the well-worn dirt strip on the edge of one of Managua's main intersections, he eyes each vehicle, searching for customers—or police. He's surrounded by other vendors, shirts hung with multiple pairs of cheap sunglasses, wrists with plastic bags full of remotes, windshield wipers, and phone chargers. Several hold sticks on which perch little chocoyos—parakeets—with clipped wings. Whenever a driver or passenger shows a flicker of interest, the sellers move casually out into traffic—private vehicles for the wealthy few and exuberantly decorated public buses, many of them castoff yellow school buses from the United States. Now the man with the bag spots a possibility. The passengers in an SUV have been asking to see a lapa, or scarlet macaw, one of the biggest and brightest of the birds in Nicaragua's forests, but also among the rarest and most protected—far too valuable to display by the roadside. He hustles to the car and tells the driver to go through the intersection and pull over just past a gas station.
Leaning in through the front passenger window of the parked SUV, he offers the people inside a lapa. "I can get it for you tomorrow." But they want to see something now. So he returns with the bag. From inside he draws a red-lored Amazon: a green parrot with a band of crimson above the nose. More common and less expensive than a scarlet macaw, it still belongs to a species scientists are considering listing as threatened. The bird blinks in the sudden mid-afternoon light and flaps its wings. The man keeps a tight grip, though it's a baby, with feathers still growing in. Born about six months earlier in the forest, in the cavity of a tree trunk, the bird was taken from the nest by a poacher who climbed or cut the tree. Then it was dosed with rum or Valium, placed in the bottom of a bag or basket, and kept quiet beneath a damp towel for the trip to Managua.
Desperate poachers are robbing Nicaragua's forests of their diversity.
Down in the dark of the bag the man has brought over, two more pairs of eyes look up. The people in the SUV want to see these birds, too. Reluctantly (they won't bring as much money), the man brings them out. These are orange-chinned parakeets, smaller, around 4 months old. Feeling his way toward a sale, the man makes up a story. "They're a family. These are the babies. You can have them all for $130."
The people in the SUV are still undecided, so the man tries once more. "I can get you as many as you need," he says, which is true—all he has to do is go to a holding center in the capital where birds from rural areas are kept as inventory. "Just tell me what you want."
So goes the slow, steady depletion of wildlife from Nicaragua's forests, and from those in the rest of Central America—especially the raucous, vibrantly plumed, highly intelligent parrots. Nicaragua is the poorest nation in Central America and the second poorest in the Western Hemisphere, with limited funds for law enforcement and limited economic opportunities to draw people away from the wildlife trade. And there's a long tradition here of taking animals from the forests to keep as pets. Around Managua, furtively but persistently, vendors sell the country's wild birds and other animals. Along the highways, too, in roadside markets the government despairs of stopping, parrots and parakeets and the occasional monkey are offered as pets; bunches of iguanas, hung upside down by their tails with their mouths sewn shut so they can't bite, are sold for meat. Traders who travel to the farming frontier, at the forest's edge, exchange food and other goods for wildlife, then smuggle the animals to roadside sellers or back to the capital. For every bird who appears live for sale, an estimated three have died—from dehydration, suffocation, hypothermia, starvation, injury, or stress.
For every bird who appears live for sale, an estimated three have died from dehydration, suffocation, hypothermia, starvation, injury, or stress.
"I'm overwhelmed by a growing frustration and helplessness," says Martin Lezama-López, an ornithologist whose work on parrot populations helped get tougher laws passed in Nicaragua. "Each day it becomes clearer that there is a demand for these birds. This demand hasn't changed in decades, despite many environmental campaigns in support of nature."
Largely invisible within Nicaragua, a wider international trade also drains wildlife from forests such as the Bosawas Biosphere Reserve in the north and the Indio Maiz Biological Reserve in the southeast. Animals are smuggled out of the country despite restrictions on wild bird imports imposed by the United States in 1992 and a European Union ban enacted in 2007, and after Nicaragua in 2005 eliminated quotas that for decades had allowed the export of limited numbers of less threatened birds, reptiles, and amphibians—up to 10,000 parrots and parakeets a year.
An untold number of animals illegally depart the country on flights, hidden in false-bottomed suitcases or lengths of PVC pipe taped to passengers' bodies like drugs. Others trickle across Nicaragua's borders via the Pan-American Highway into Honduras or Costa Rica. Often they end up in El Salvador, which has few forests and little wildlife left but serves as a major transshipment point for traffickers. From there, animals are sent to the United States, Europe, and Japan, where the most sought-after parrots can each bring $1,000, $2,000, or more. Andrés Gómez Palacios, deputy commissioner of the Nicaraguan police's Division of Economic Investigations, says people from outside the country place orders and the animals are delivered to them through networks that reach the most remote communities.
"It is not only one person," he says. "It is groups. It is many, many people."

After losing at least 300,000 jobs since China became a member of the World Trade Organization in 2001, industry executives and mill employees decided they have little to lose in coming together to use the political process to try to save what's left of the U.S. textile and apparel sector.
"This industry is prepared to work hard on behalf of any candidate that makes an ironclad commitment on maintaining quotas on imports from China," said Allen Gant, president of Glen Raven Inc. and first vice chairman of the American Textile Manufacturers Institute.
"We are also prepared to work hard against any candidate that will not defend our workers against these illegally subsidized imports. This industry is determined that we will make a difference in the 2004 election.
Gant's comments came during a press conference in Spartanburg, S.C. in which representatives of several trade organizations used the South Carolina presidential primary to make a case for retaining quotas on Chinese textile and apparel imports.
Those quotas are scheduled to expire next January.
Gant and other speakers pointed out that since the 2000 presidential election, the U.S. textile and apparel sector has lost 323,000 jobs or 31 percent of its work force in 2000. At least 211 textile plants in the United States have also closed their doors.
While textile and apparel imports from other countries have also risen during that time, many textile leaders blame the People's Republic of China for most of the damage to their industry. Chinese textile and apparel imports to the United States have risen 320 percent since quotas were relaxed as part of China's accession agreement to the World Trade Organization.
"The results of the decline in production are grim," said Auggie Tantillo, Washington coordinator for the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, an umbrella organization for trade groups representing industries that have suffered economic decline because of the growth in imports.
"Imported goods have captured all growth during the 1995-2003 time frame," he said. "Furthermore, imports also have displaced almost 25 percent of previous U.S. production of textiles and 44 percent of previous production of apparel."
Federal Reserve figures show that U.S. textile mills ended December using only 71.5 percent of their productive capacity, down from 74.8 percent one year ago, said Tantillo. Apparel manufacturers were able to use only 64 percent of their capacity, down from 67.2 percent.
As part of their new political effort, textile industry leaders said they will try to get every textile and fiber worker registered to vote, educate them on the issues and candidates and get them to the polls on Election Day "to elect candidates who will oppose unfair trade practices and support textile manufacturing jobs in this country," a spokesman said.
"This will be an election where jobs count," said Jim Chesnutt, chairman of the American Textile Manufacturers Institute. "Workers in this country are sick and tired of seeing the work formerly done in U.S. plants head out the door and over to China. When they discover that the U.S. government is looking the other way while China is illegally subsidizing Chinese textile and other manufacturing exports to this country, they will look to hold some people accountable.
"Our workers want their government to stand up for them, and they will be looking to support only those candidates who will start saving U.S. manufacturing jobs, not backing policies which send them overseas."
"It is imperative that our industry, including our hundreds and thousands of workers and our suppliers, become politically involved in order to make U.S. trade policy more responsive to our concerns," said Steve Dobbins, president of the American Yarn Spinners Association.
"We need a trade policy that treats U.S. manufacturers fairly, not as sacrificial lambs."
While the speakers were clearly concerned about the current level of imports, industry leaders say the losses will pale in comparison to what may happen when all import quotas are removed next January.
On Feb. 9, the U.S. International Trade Commission released a report entitled "Textiles and Apparel: Assessment of the Competitiveness of Certain Foreign Suppliers to the U.S. Market." The report analyzes the impact of the expiration of U.S. quotas on textile and apparel imports.
"The conclusions to be drawn from the report are clear and devastating," said AMTAC's Tantillo. "China will become 'the supplier of choice' when quotas on textile and apparel products expire on Jan. 1, 2005 unless the U.S. government comprehensively implements the quota provisions of the special textile China safeguard."
Tantillo was referring to provisions in China's WTO accession agreement that allow the United States to limit Chinese imports in product categories that cause excessive job losses in U.S. manufacturing. The Bush administration has agreed to implement the safeguard provisions in three product categories.
China isn't the only country that may profit from the quota removal at the U.S. textile industry's expense.
"The report indicates that India and Pakistan will be winners to a lesser extent, while everyone else almost certainly will be a loser, including the 1 million workers in the U.S. textile, apparel, and fiber industries."
He said textile and apparel products account for a substantial percentage of total merchandise exports from many countries:
Those include: Lesotho, 94 percent; Bangladesh, 86 percent; Haiti, 83 percent; Honduras, 63 percent; Mauritius, 63 percent; Sri Lanka, 61 percent; El Salvador, 60 percent; Dominican Republic, 51 percent; Madagascar, 44 percent; Guatemala, 37 percent; Nicaragua, 37 percent; Turkey, 34 percent; Egypt, 23 percent.
"If these exports collapse, the economies of these countries may collapse as well," said Tantillo.
He said there is plenty of evidence that China is already becoming the supplier of choice for much of the U.S. retail sector. Recent media reports have said that major U.S. retailers such as Wal-Mart have signed long-term agreements with Chinese firms to supply products at a fraction of the cost they can be produced in the United States.
"China already accounts for more than 19 percent of all U.S. textile and apparel imports and Chinese textile and apparel exports to the United States," said Tantillo. "Moreover, this explosion has occurred while many of the most sensitive import categories are still under quota. When quotas expire, the damage to the U.S. market caused by this surge of imports will increase exponentially."
He said the Trade Commission report also proves that the so-called "race to the bottom" to see which manufacturers in Asian countries can pay their workers the least is speeding up.
"In 2002, hourly wages for textile and apparel workers averaged from $0.41 to $0.88 in China, $0.38 to $0.57 in India, and $0.34 to $0.41 in Pakistan," said Tantillo. "With hundreds of millions still unemployed, prospects of substantial near-term wages increases in these countries are dim."
The scope of the report did not mandate an assessment of subsidies and tax rebates, legal or illegal, granted by foreign countries to their domestic textile industries, he said. Nor was the report charged with assessing cost disparities in complying with labor, workplace safety and environmental laws between U.S. and foreign firms.
"Foreign companies, especially Chinese companies, exporting to the United States have tremendous cost advantages in these areas," he said. "These are primary causes of the import surge decimating U.S. textile and apparel manufacturing."
What is happening to the domestic textile industry is not unique, Tantillo notes. "As evidenced by the expected $540 billion U.S. trade deficit, nearly all of the U.S. manufacturing sector has been targeted for extinction by foreign governments willing to pay any price to capture U.S. market share."

Oxford City 2
(McEachran 28, Jackson 62)
Leamington 2
(Newton 25, 37)
Oxford City twice came from behind to claim a draw at home to Leamington in Skrill North, writes MATTHEW BRUCE.
Goals in each half from teenagers Zac McEachran and Kayden Jackson levelled for City after the visitors had twice led thanks to a Danny Newton brace.
But any designs on snatching a winner were put on hold after an injury to goalkeeper Mark Scott ten minutes from time forced City to field full-back Declan Benjamin between the sticks.
City, who gave a debut for new signing Mark Preece from Bath City, made a lively start, but failed to create any openings as Leamington forced their way into the game with Joe Magunda's powerful header drawing an excellent reaction save from Scott.
That should have served as a lesson for City.
But moments later Newton found himself unmarked in the box to head the visitors in front from an almost identical position.
City's response was swift and three minutes later the sides were level, McEachran netting from the edge of the area after Leamington had failed to clear a dangerous ball across the box from Tom Winters.
The momentum had swung back towards the hosts, but again they were unable to convert their positive play into clear-cut chances.
Instead it was the visitors who seized the initiative, retaking the lead after another defensive lapse.
Newton was given time and space to run at his man, bursting through a sluggish backline before driving the ball past an exposed Scott.
City always looked likely to find another equaliser after the break, but it took a moment of quality from Michael Pook to create the opening.
His outstanding through ball from just inside the Leamington half put Winters through on goal.
And when his effort was cleared off the line after he rounded the keeper, Jackson was on hand to fire in from close range.
Jackson and Mike Symons both had chances to put City in front, but any hopes of a winner were shelved 15 minutes from time when Scott was stretchered off with a back injury.
Benjamin was forced to deputise in goal in the absence of a substitute keeper, but had little to do as City saw out the remainder of the match with no further incident.
Oxford City: Scott (Benjamin 80), Ballard (Willmott 65), Stonehouse, Pook, Henderson, Preece, McEachran (Janes 75), Pond, Symons, Jackson, Winters. Subs not used: McNish, Learoyd.
Referee: M Amphlett.
Attendance: 349.
