Blue Systems to Sponsor Kubuntu
According to the Kubuntu announcement, Blue Systems will encourage Kubuntu to follow its proven formula.
The Kubuntu project has announced that Blue Systems will take over sponsorship of the project beginning with the 12.10 cycle in May. Kubuntu, which was previously sponsored by Canonical, is a community-led project aimed at creating a KDE flavor as part of Ubuntu.
According to the Kubuntu announcement, Blue Systems sponsors a number of KDE projects and will encourage Kubuntu to follow the same successful formula as it has always had. The website states, "With this new sponsorship we will have the independence to give the project new wings and take the excellent KDE Software to new audiences."
Developer Jonathan Riddell writes, "It turns out Kubuntu is very popular and important, people really use this KDE stuff I've been working on for the last decade. Blue Systems took the plunge first and said they'd sponsor the project so Kubuntu will continue as a community led, KDE focused Ubuntu flavour and will branch out into new areas like the tablet and ARM. Maybe even server? (KDE has nice apps in OwnCloud and Kolab, these should be better integrated into Ubuntu.)"

Turkish President Abdullah Gul said Monday that "worst case scenarios" are becoming a reality in neighboring Syria over its 19-month civil war -- which has spilled over into border clashes between the two nations -- and that it "absolutely cannot" continue.
"The Syrian people are suffering and as you can see it is having an effect on us, too, from time to time," he told reporters.
After days of Syrian shells flying across the border into Turkey, tensions -- and carnage -- are mounting on both sides of the border.
The stray shelling has prompted Turkey to respond with threats and weapons fire, fueling concerns that the Syrian civil war will bleed into a greater regional battle.
Early Monday morning, Turkish authorities reported exchanges of fire in a southern central region of Turkey that borders Syria.
A mortar shell launched from the Syrian side landed in Turkey's Altinozu District, though no casualties were reported, authorities said in a written statement.
Turkish forces fired "retaliatory shots" into Syria, saying they believed the initial strike was launched by Syrian Security forces, the statement said.
Here are additional developments in the crisis:
Deaths add up amid continuing violence
A large explosion rocked Damascus on Monday, followed by heavy gunfire near a government checkpoint, though it is not clear if there are casualties resulting from the detonation and ensuing exchange.
"This is the largest blast I have ever felt since the uprising began," said Omar al Khani, an opposition activist. "One of my windows is blown out and neighbors' plates were knocked down from the table to the ground."
Less than half an hour later, al Khani said another smaller explosion could be heard followed by intermittent gunfire as a thick plume of smoke unfurled across the Syrian capital.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition group, said the initial blast occurred in the Damascus suburb of Harasta, which is also home to an Air Force security building
The opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said 170 people were killed across Syria. They included 40 in Aleppo, 35 in Idlib, 35 killed in Daraa, 30 in Damascus and its suburbs, 20 in Homs, five in Deir Ezzor, and one in Hama, the LCC said.
The deaths in Daraa came as Al-Kark Al-Sharqi was pummeled by Syrian government shelling, it said.
CNN is unable to independently confirm reports of casualties or violence because the Syrian government has restricted access by international journalists.
As Monday turned into Tuesday, the military fought pitched battles with the Free Syrian Army, Susan Ahmed, an opposition spokeswoman based in Damascus said. Several of the clashes were on the Damascus-Darra Highway, where Ahmed said members of the FSA attacked a checkpoint, killed several government troops and damaged a tank. There were reports of other tanks being blown up on the road, she said.
A mosque in the Nahr Eisha neighborhood also was shelled, she said.
Turkish foreign minister: Syria's vice president could lead a transitional government
Syrian rebels are open to the idea of the country's vice president leading an interim government, as proposed by Turkey's foreign minister, Turkish media reported Monday.
But Bessam Dade, political adviser to the rebel Free Syrian Army, said the dissidents would approve of such a plan only if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is not granted immunity from prosecution, Turkey's TRT news agency said.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu pitched the idea, saying the Syrian vice president is not to blame for the mass bloodshed in the country.
"Farouq al-Sharaa, with a reasonable and conscientious approach, was not a part of recent events and did not partake in the massacres. And perhaps there is no one that knows the system better than Farouq al-Sharaa," Davutoglu told TRT, according to the Turkish Anadolu Agency.
George Sabra, a spokesman for the Syrian National Council, said members of the opposition group will meet in Qatar later this month and will discuss whether the Syrian opposition would accept the proposal.
"But first we need to know what will be the road map that such a transition will be based on," Sabra told CNN. "Whether it is al-Sharaa or anyone else, we need to know first what will this person do, and how he or she will push to get Syria out of this quagmire."

Prohibited acts of unfair competition covered include:
Several problematic areas - in particular, the obstacles to effective enforcement, and the lack of adequate protection for consumers against acts of unfair competition - are given particular emphasis. The book concludes with cogent proposals on how the Japanese system could be improved and developed, referring to the model provisions of the World Intellectual Property Organization and offering a new and original draft Unfair Competition Act.
Any business person or investor interested in the Japanese market will benefit enormously from this practical and insightful volume.

Our joint venture with Mongoose includes an entirely new range of model starships to be called Starline 2500. These will be more detailed than the 2400s, cast in resin, and will use a larger 1-3125 scale. At least, that's the plan as of August 2011. When the ships are released in November 2011, things might or might not be different. We will post new information as we get it., and there are lively discussions on our BBS about such issues. Mongoose reads your posts and is influenced by them! The plan envisions selling these ships in squadron boxes that are identical (in the ships included) to the 2400-series Starline boxes sold for Federation Commander. The 2400s will remain in production as long as anyone buys them (meaning, for the foreseeable future and maybe forever).

Urban Ecology
Urban Ecology is a subfield of ecology that deals with the distribution, abundance and interactions of plants and animals (including humans) within urban and suburban environments. More than half of the world's population lives in cities and suburbs, and they share these urban habitats with many other species. Thus, Urban Ecology is one of the fastest growing subfields in ecology, and most ecologists now work in human-influenced habitats.
Urban ecologists study vegetation, water flow, wildlife, and open spaces in cities to monitor the health of these resources and how they respond to pollution, development and other pressures. Specific endeavors of urban ecologists include monitoring nutrient flow from lawns and industry into oceans; helping design buildings and large developments to make them more sustainable and appealing; running nature and interpretive programs that range from very small to citywide; studying the impacts of invasive species; and exploring the positive impacts that green spaces have on biodiversity and human health.
Hofstra's B.A. and B.S. in Urban Ecology programs are unique among universities on Long Island, and are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the ecology of human-influenced habitats, from biological, political, social and cultural perspectives.
Students examine cities as ecosystems, combining ecological analyses with historical and sociopolitical studies of urban nature. The interdisciplinary programs include courses in biology, chemistry, math, engineering, global studies, geography, sociology, political science, and philosophy. Students may also benefit from collaborations with Hofstra's Center for Civic Engagement, The National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University, and agencies on Long Island and in New York City. The program includes an internship.
An undergraduate degree in Urban Ecology prepares students for careers in environmental education, state and local conservation agencies, and environmental consulting – at the local, regional and national levels. This field is growing as sustainability becomes increasingly important to society.
Students interested in declaring a major in Urban Ecology are encouraged to contact Hofstra's Department of Biology to speak with a faculty adviser about the features and requirements of this program.
The B.A. Specialization in Urban Ecology requires a minimum of 36 semester hours in Biology, the B.S. Specialization in Urban Ecology requires a minimum of 47 semester hours in Biology.

Sette ST-331 Screw Type Chain Tool
The Sette ST-331 Screw Type Chain Tool is small and compact so it's perfect for taking it along on your ride. You never know when a chain may break and when you're the only one with the tool needed to fix the problem you will be the trail hero. Small and light enough to keep in your back jersey pocket or in your seatbag.
It does work, but I have some concerns about the sturdiness of the tool, and how it would hold up to sustained use. It did what I needed to do for the build I ordered it for, but is one of the few Sette tools that actually felt cheap.
Not the strongest of breakers but it gets the job done!
I love this tool. I have two. One in my bag, one in my home shop. Works great. If you line up your chain properly in it, and hold it with one hand while torquing with the other, you should be able to get your chain broke and back together easily. If you do not line it up properly with the pin, I would see how you could break the tool but if you force anything, you'll break the tool. So I don't put much merrit in the other bad review. Maybe the guy's chain was being a bit of a tool when he tried lining it up or was in a hurry and didn't have it lined up right to remove the pin, who knows. If you line up the pin on the tool with the pin on the chain and make sure it's in line as you use it, you should not have a problem with it. I haven't yet.
Not the strongest chain breaker. Did the job twice and then busted on me. To give the benefit of the dought, I'm rough on tools.

DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Not too far from where factory workers assemble Ford cars and trucks, analytics experts in the company's Research and Innovation Center are building something entirely different but equally important: complex mathematical models to help Ford sharpen its competitive edge while limiting its environmental impact.
Launched 15 years ago as a small cadre of researchers, the group's size and impact on Ford has grown considerably while its mission is unchanged – chart a path for the company to a cleaner, brighter, better world and stronger business.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that Ford now ranks among the greenest brands in the world," said John Viera, global director of sustainability and vehicle environmental matters. "The company's investments in the field of big data analytics have continually increased during the last 15 years."
Viera outlined Ford's use of analytics and big data as part of a panel discussion today at the 2013 Net Impact conference in San Jose, Calif.
The group, comprised of scientists, mathematicians, computers modelers and other researchers, uses the latest in analytics and big data to discover ways to minimize Ford's environmental impact and bolster its bottom line by identifying potential risks and opportunities. Here are some examples of the work the group has accomplished:
Ford considers analytics and big data – in and out of vehicles – the next frontier for innovation, competition and productivity. The company continues to expand its use of big data as more and better technologies, methodologies and datasets emerge.
Consider the plug-in hybrid Ford Fusion Energi. The vehicle generates about 25 gigabytes of data every hour; those data are useful for further improvements in fuel economy and vehicle emission reductions. Yet, Ford researchers are already experimenting with vehicles that generate 10 times that much data – 250 gigabytes – per hour.
Some other areas Ford is exploring for green analytics potential:
"There are so many amazing possibilities to consider for the future impact of data," said Viera. "The possibilities are not only exciting, they are, in fact, almost endless."

It has been an eventful 48 hours in the investigation of a murder that happened last week in the Town of Dix. As our Bill Mich tells us, after police lost one suspect when he took his own life, then they arrested two other people in connection with the crime. Both arrests came after Daniel Bennett, 31, was shot and killed in his Pearl Street home Friday.
SCHUYLER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The first suspect that authorities were after in connection with a murder in the Town of Dix last week was Thomas Borden, 32, of Corning.
"We passed information on to authorities in Pennsylvania who, when they encountered Mr. Borden, he ended up fleeing and jumping in front of a train and committing suicide," said Schuyler County Sheriff Bill Yessman.
But police say they kept searching for clues and Tuesday, they announced the arrest of Borden's step-brother, Nathan Hand, 25, of Corning. He has been charged with second degree murder and is being held in the Schuyler County Jail.
Just hours later, police said their investigation was far from over and by the evening, they had arrested Alice Trappler, 39, of Addison. She is also being charged with second degree murder and remains in Schuyler County Jail.
Both arrests come after Daniel Bennett, 31, was shot and killed in his Pearl Street home on Friday.
Police would not clarify what role they believe Trappler or Hand played in the crime. Authorities did say the two arrests by no means wrap up their investigation and they still have plenty to uncover.
"We currently have possession of Thomas Borden's truck. We brought it back from Pennsylvania last night. It's up at the State Police Troop Headquarters in Canandaigua for processing and we are executing a search warrant on that vehicle at this time," said Yessman.
More details are expected to be released Wednesday.

The idea of the project was born from the realization how important it is for people travelling to neighboring countries to know at least several words or phrases of the country's language. It can help make your trip much more pleasant and meaningful and feel more self-confident. Moreover, your efforts to address people in their native language will be most rewarding and people will become more open and friendly because of the respect you have exhibited for their country and culture. They will be pleased to learn that their language is important for a newcomer who has come not just for work, studies, but on a visit as well.
What do we offer to help people navigate in a new country stress-free?
Our project's final product - DVD with a phrasebook offers most essential travel/communication phrases in Lithuanian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish and Estonian on everyday topics such as Meeting People, Getting Around, Accommodation, Time and Numbers. DVD with learning materials contains dialogues spoken by native speakers from all partner countries and will help practice listening, reading and speaking skills, while phrasebook with survival words and phrases will build your vocabulary.
But it takes more than the language to successfully interact with people from other cultures. You need to understand what their communication norms are, therefore enclosed Cultural tips will be of great help.
Who will benefit?
The aim of the project is to reach people who travel to Baltic and Nordic countries and equip them with language learning tool (DVD with a phrasebook ) for promoting better communication and facilitate their faster integration into a new community. Therefore the project is targeting students, who go to universities to study, civil servants or business people, who usually travel for business purposes, people in search of work, immigrants, tourists or those who move or have already moved for family reasons, such as marriage or maybe visiting grandchildren or new relatives , who don't speak your language.
How the effectiveness and the need for the final product were tested?
Firstly, the research on the needs of the target groups was carried out in all partner countries and it focused on the importance of languages being promoted, on the content of the survival phrases, needed while travelling and on the purpose of visits. DVD with language learning materials, leaflets with tasks were prepared based on the survey results.
Secondly, the piloting campaigns to test the prepared learning materials were organized in all partner countries. Danish campaign took place on the ferry between Ystad in Sweden and Rønne on the Danish island of Bornholm. Project partners from Lithuania launched piloting campaign on board EUROLINES buses (Vilnius-Tallinn-Vilnius express route), while project partners from Estonia, Sweden and Finland ran piloting campaign and competition on languages on board Tallinksilja, travelling on Stockholm-Helsinki, Helsinki-Tallinn, Tallinn-Stockholm , Stockholm-Helsinki , Helsinki-Tallinn routes. Passengers tried DVD , worked on language tasks, intended to pick up some words or phrases in promoted languages and won prizes.
And then, the main emphasis was put on project dissemination activities. Leaflets with info on the project and language quizzes, intended to stimulate interest in Nordic and Baltic countries, were spread during various events, such as "Vilnius days 2009", "Education. Studies. Career 2010" fair in Vilnius, etc. Quiz winners were awarded a free English language course at Soros International House.
Project was selected as a good practice example and presented during Baltic EXPRO 2010.
Who is involved?
Soros International House, LT-coordinator
International House Tallinn, EE
Vestegnens Sprog-og Kompetencecenter Brondby, DK
Learnwell Oy – The Language Menu, FI
Jarfalla NT-Gymnasium, SE
What's next?
Project activities were finalized by organizing a dissemination conference in Sweden on 16th April 2010.
The final project product –DVD with a phrasebook will be spread among travel agencies, adult education centers for self learning.

Grand Village of the Illinois
In 1673, this was the site of the first Native American contact with Europeans when Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet passed up the Illinois River. Located in the middle of the site is the 1851 Sulphur Springs Hotel, a resort for travelers and visitors.
CITY: Utica
Gurler House
Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies.

Is Extension Extinction Underway?
resize text | Tweet |
"It allowed me to narrow my focus and learn new things in my specialty area, and that was exciting," recalled Craig. "Unfortunately, it also affected local support in some counties. It's hard to get support for a position when the person travels outside the county. You had to get support from multiple county governments."
Such regionalization and the challenge that goes with it is now more the norm around the country as few, traditional, "generalist" county agents remain in place. This could be seen as a slippery slope. In Pennsylvania, the nine-county group grew to cover 15 counties and eventually the entire state.
"In Pennsylvania and I'm sure in others as well, the traditional state Extension specialist with an appointment in research has been reassigned to teach college courses," explained Craig. "We now serve in their place."
Paul Craig [left], Extension program leader in Pennsylvania, assists Johnny Whiddon, a county agent, in a peach orchard. Blaine Viator, president, National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants (NAICC), said when the subject of changes in Extension and the challenges it faces comes up, fellow NAICC members respond passionately and often with widely differing views depending on the individual's experience with their state's Extension Service.
"Having been in the university system, obtaining a doctoral degree and then entering the private sector as a private consultant, I guess I have seen it from both sides of the picture," said Viator.
Viator misses the old days of well-funded state and county Extension educators based on strong university research. However, he also recognizes and endorses the value of specialization such as he has seen develop in other states that have shifted to the regional specialist approach.
"Most of my clients are on smartphones and social media," he said. "They could be receiving Extension recommendations directly from state or regional specialists. Ten or 20 years ago, you had to drive to every farm to talk to the farmer. That's no longer the case."
"The foundation of strong Extension relies on a very robust university research program," added Viator. "Without very sound and progressive university research, Extension will have a tough road ahead. As certified independent consultants, we are only paid by the grower, and none of our income comes from selling products or seed. We rely very heavily on university research and Extension to get the best, unbiased information to our growers. Extension is important to us and our grower-clients, but it seems the non-farming public is more interested in their tax dollars being used to support social programs rather than agronomic research and Extension, as evident in farm bill funding. So, it is looking more and more like public sector funding for research and Extension will only continue to dwindle. Its success will depend on doing more with less people."

Classic Car News
Rolling Iron Auto Show features 250+ classic cars
Image: SpokaneFocus, 2013
New Jersey has always been known as a bastion of American subcultures, and has been the setting of a number of high quality East Coast classic car shows for decades and decades.
However, the Rolling Iron Auto Show (which kicked off this past weekend) was something else entirely – with more than 250 cars pouring into the event, a number not seen in some time. Each and every one of the 250+ cars were built prior to 1976 – one of the major stipulations of the event.
Even the promoters and organizers of the Rolling Iron Auto Show were a bit taken back by the sheer volume of participants – driving vintage automobiles and spectators alike – and are more than a little bit excited at the prospects of next year show. There were all kinds of prizes awarded two different classic automobiles, a ton of events aimed at families and children, and some of the best food and music the area has seen in a while. It will certainly be exciting to see how the promoters and organizers try to outdo this year's event enough years to come, but if anyone can do it it's the folks behind the Rolling Iron Auto Show.
