The first step to organizing your electronics is recognizing that they need to be organized. Since most of us use our gadgets daily, you might not even think about how much space they take up on the coffee table, the night stand, the ledge of the sink… not to mention how much brain space you use each time you have to ask yourself where you left it last. Electronics are supposed to make life easier, so take control of your adapters, chargers, plug-ins, and power savers, before they take over your living space. There are plenty of great products out there to make your life in the 21st century more streamlined. Here are a ten we like.

A public interest group says as many as 900 colleges are pushing students into using payment cards that carry hefty costs, sometimes even to access students' financial aid money.
The U.S. Public Interest Research Group Higher Education Fund says in a report published Wednesday that colleges and banks often make secretive deals allowing them to rake in millions from the fees. The report says some of the fees appear to violate federal law.
The report says more than 9 million people, or two out of five U.S. higher-education students, attend schools that have deals with financial companies.
The fees add to the mountain of debt many higher-education students must take on. U.S. student debt tops $1 trillion, and has surpassed credit cards as the biggest source of unsecured debt.

Lovely, cosy pants!
By bigverdi
from Mississauga
Great pants! Wonderful fit! Very comfortable! I purchased the grey, with misgivings. But they are, surprisingly, not at all girth-enhancing, which I'd half-expected from a napped fabric. Who knew velvet pants could be such a treasure? They are a lovely mid-grey shade and so cosy. Haven't yet had time to do the 6-7inch leg chop, but am looking forward to wearing them soon. Very flattering, ladies: a good buy!
Love these jeans
By cj
from British Columbia
I am very (very) pleased with these jeans. The velvet has a good weight and feel, and the sizing chart is accurate. I have purchased another pair for myself and recommended them to my sister, as well.
Perfect jean
By SONIA-SOPHIA
from VANCOUVER
These jeans are all I wanted. They are made from good quality velvet and i enjoy their perfect fit and comfort. I ordered several pairs and I am planning to buy more for me and for my mom. You can be dressed up or down wearing those jeans and you will feel equally elegant and smart looking. Thank you, Diane, for your talented and hard work! I am looking forward for your next visit and your next fabulous collection!
Love these Jeans
By Cassy
from London, ON
I bought a pair of these velvet jeans a couple of years ago, and loved them so much, but they were starting to show wear & tear -- so imagine my delight to see these jeans back on the shopping channel. I ended up ordering 2 pairs - one in black and the other in wine. The fit and comfort are great. They are also really easy care, and can be worn casually or dressy. Just the Best!
Love them
By Stylish Lady
from New Brunswick
I am not usually a fan of corduroy or velvet jeans but decided to try these with every idea that I would be returning them. I was wrong. I received them on the same day as a black shirt with sequin front and when I tried them on, the combination was perfect. The jeans fit to perfection as DG usually do for me and they were nice looking. I wore them to a Christmas party that night so, needless to say, they did not go back. Have worn them several times since. Love DGs boot-cut jeans. I have about 35 pair collected since the first time Diane was on and all still in good shape. I live in these jeans and they are one of the few brands I now buy on a regular basis.
By Smart shopper
from Brampton
I purchased 3 colors in my regular size in DG which is 8P, fitted very well and was extremely comfortable. So I purchased the 4th color today.

OT: Team made up of BC born players.
I was just thinking, what if there was a tournament between teams that only consisted of local players. What would the BC team look like? I know we would be in tough against Ontario/Quebec but I think it would be an interesting exercise. Some local boys include: Forwards RNH Evander Kane Milan Lucic Jamie Benn Andrew Ladd Ryan Johansen Troy Brouwer Kyle Turris Brett Connolly Sam Reinhart Max Reinhart Defense Shea Weber Dan Hamhuis Jason Garrison Willie Mitchell Justin Schultz Brent Seabrook Karl Alzner Eric Brewer Morgan Rielly Griffin Reinhart Goalies Carey Price Jason Labarbera Doesn't look as bad as I thought, the D looks especially good and impossible to score against. :yo: Offensive depth is pretty bad but the top end talent isn't terrible. What would the lineup look like? Would you put RNH as 1st line C based on pure talent someone with more experience? What about an all time team? What would the teams of other provinces look like? Minnesota and Michigan churn out so many players, they would be pretty competitive too. I think someone needs to assemble these teams in NHL '13 to simulate the results. |
Does someone like D. Keith who grew up in BC (?) count?
Add Josh Gorges
Can we steal Washington boy T.J Oshie?
Add Karl Alzner. |
I think the rule should be that they have to spend at least the majority (up to age 16) of their childhood in BC.
Ladd-Turris-Kane Brouwer-Johansen-Connolly McMillan-Horcoff-Kobasew Hamhuis-Weber Seabrook-Garrison Alzner-Mitchell Gorges-Schultz Price LaBarbera I know I have Benn and Kane playing their off-wings, but we have to stack the top lines just to generate any decent offence. I guess you could also put Benn as first line C and have Kane on 1st line RW with RNH as 2nd line C. Our defense looks pretty solid but the O leaves much to be desired. Lucic-Benn-Kane Ladd-RNH-Turris |
Gorges is better than Brewer, and I'd probably want Schultz over him too at this point TBH.
Just checked what the other provinces have in terms of talent. We're not as bad off as it looks. Ontario is far and away the best in terms of Offense, but I think we have the best D-corps. In goal, we are among the best as well. If we played a structured defensive trap game, we could beat most of the other teams. One trend I have noticed is that BC hockey development has gotten drastically better in the last 5-10 years versus the decade immediately before. Connolly, Reilly, Kane, RNH, Turris, Benn, Reinharts, Lucic, Schultz are all relatively young and will be great players one day if not already, but before this recent group there is a complete lack of talent. In fact the only standout forwards over 25 years of age are Ladd, and Morrison. |
Wow, they (well guess) can field a shift, and not to shabby either:
Marchand Crosby Gordon A. MacDonald Johnson J MacDonald |
Sakic, Yzerman, Kariay, and Dr. Recchi all could have played on Team-BC within the last decade...not to mention Scott Neidermeyer on D |
Can't really credit BC's player development for Yzerman's success.
Ontario is ridiculous on offense:
Steven Stamkos Claude Giroux Jason Spezza James Neal John Tavares Joe Thornton Eric Staal Tyler Seguin Logan Couture Rick Nash Corey Perry And this is just the top 10 or so. Their D ain't so bad either; Doughty Pietrangelo Campbell Bieksa Burns Del Zotto Fowler Subban Goaltending is the only position we have a clear advantage in; Mike Smith vs. Carey Price. I know Smith was outstanding this past season but he hasn't put up consistent stats like Price has, neither does he have the pedigree. |
^Price is the first BC Goaltender to come along in a while that I would feel comfortable with in a best-on-best competition. Although Quebec continues to maintain their advantage in the goaltending department, IMO.
BC has a solid group, though. I would love to see an Inter-Province Tournament of some kind...a real "Canada Cup". |
I can remember about 5 years ago when this potential roster looked absolutely putrid. Now it looks like a bit of a dark horse. Lots of younger stars coming up like RNH, Price, Weber, Benn, etc. Good to see!
I think the most tightly contested game with the most hatred between us would be the Alberta vs BC or BC vs. Sask. games.
Ontario vs. Quebec would probably be the game with the most hatred for each other overall. |
Kariya - Yzerman - Neely Recchi - Sakic - Anderson G. Courtnall - Ronning - R. Courtnall Adams - Peter McNab - Morrison Walter Deadmarsh Doug Bodger Doug Lidster Barry Beck Bob Rouse Murray Baron Joe Reekie Andy Moog Cesare Maniago Bold = players who have played at home during their careers. |
Haha, i think Saskatchewan puts a better roster together than Alberta.
As is, I think Team Ontario takes the cake. The forwards are too young on BC. In two years? I'd bet on team BC. |
Team BC would rely on all the players buying into playing a hard-working, grinding defensive style. We have a lot less skill than the other provinces, but have great hitting and the best defense in my opinion, to go with above-average goaltending.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific managed to overcome weak coal demand and sluggish agricultural shipments by raising rates at the railroad in the fourth quarter.
But investors seemed mildly disappointed Thursday with the 7 percent growth in quarterly profit in light of the railroad's cautious forecast for more challenges in 2013.
UP's earnings beat Wall Street expectations but revenue fell just short. The stock lost $1.01 at $134.35 in afternoon trading.
Despite a 2 percent decline in total volume, Union Pacific earned $1.04 billion, or $2.19 per share. Revenue grew 3 percent to $5.25 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected $2.15 per share on revenue of $5.30 billion.
Union Pacific's results offer insight into the nation's economic health because of the variety of cars, crops, chemicals and containers of imported goods it carries. It has more than 32,400 miles of track in 23 states in the West, Midwest and Gulf coast.
The decline in coal is a concern for railroad investors. Coal demand has been weak in the past year because of relatively cheap natural gas prices and last year's mild winter. In the fourth quarter, Union Pacific hauled 17 percent less coal than the year before. Agricultural shipments were hurt by a drought and the temporary shutdown of some ethanol plants.
Chief Financial Officer Rob Knight predicted coal volumes will likely decline slightly in 2013, partly because at the start of the year the railroad lost a contract to haul 10 million tons of it.
But Knight said growth in other areas, especially crude oil hauled from areas like the Bakken Shale in North Dakota, will help the railroad.

When we make a large purchase, we're often asked to provide an initial deposit or downpayment. Did you know that when God bought and redeemed us out of our slavery to sin, he also made a sort of "downpayment" to guarantee our salvation? In this message from Dr. Boice, entitled, "All Good In Christ," we'll find out what Scripture says about that deposit and the hope that it gives us.
Combines a serious examination of the state of today's church and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in the confessional truths of the Reformation.
Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of success — big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches — these are not good days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from their non-Christian neighbors — all because the gospel of grace has been neglected.

Diaspora et Développement en Haïti : Vers une participation intelligente et efficiente
[Diaspora and Development in Haiti: Towards a smart and efficient participation]
The Haitian Diaspora continues to bring an important and growing financial contribution to the Haitian economy. These remittances are countercyclical, without condition, fast and anti-crisis, greater than international aid. However, the participation of the Diaspora in the economic and social development of Haiti does not seem to be possible only through remittances. Our modest proposal is that Haitian Diaspora must adopts a smarter and more efficient approach consisting of, but not necessarily stop supporting the survival of recipient families, 1) finance productive projects and entrepreneurial initiatives; 2) involve and contribute to improve haitian higher education, through a top-down scheme, either through teaching assignments or joint supervision of education and research projects, 3) as much as possible, come back to Haiti to have non erroneous analysis and provide direct participation. Finally, considering that development is related to education and the Haitian population is predominantly young, Diaspora can support, meanwhile optimizing financial resources, both Haitian youth through education and support of entrepreneurship, and Haitian government through institutional strengthening.Download Info

New Guidelines for Managing Fibromyalgia
Experts address diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for first time (May 6)
Physicians at McGill University and the University of Calgary in Canada have published new guidelines in the May 6 online edition of the Canadian Medical Association Journal to help general practitioners diagnose and treat fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, causing pain throughout the body. It is often accompanied by fatigue, depression, and sleep problems. The disorder mostly affects women, and their multiple symptoms often go years without a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Fibromyalgia is usually diagnosed by rheumatologists, but because of the high prevalence of the disease, many patients are not able to seek advice from a specialist, according to the authors. Therefore, primary care physicians are best positioned to take over this role.
"We are the first ones to develop guidelines that look at diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of fibromyalgia," said corresponding author Dr. Mary-Ann Fitzcharles. "Currently, there is no cure for fibromyalgia, but the guidelines set out the most appropriate management strategy."
In their review, the authors recommend non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as medications tailored to the individual patient. The main treatment goal is to improve quality of life by alleviating the most troublesome symptoms, with pain recognized as the most common and serious symptom.
The authors also urge more research into the effects of early diagnosis and treatment, as well as other treatment options.

"As a psychotherapist, my approach with clients is very down to earth. Not all clients and problems are the same which is why I tend to be a bit more eclectic in style. Life is stressful and filled with enormous challenges; our strength is put to the test daily. We all face dilemmas in our personal and professional lives often causing conflict in ourselves and our relationships. What is often most comforting is knowing that we are not alone. Through the course of therapy, I have one objective: to reach your goals together.

Adam Krieger

Lori A. Jensen

Richard Jezioro
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
"People seek help when they are unhappy, feeling distressed, with some aspect of their life. Most are aware of the source of the distress, though not all. Taking the time to work on and resolve problems is an investment in yourself and achieving resolution will free up energy to use elsewhere in your life.
As therapy proceeds and the distress becomes resolved there is a discussion as to how to proceed. Often it is time to end therapy. Even though therapy has ended, you are always welcome to return. "My door is always open."
Jan Gosselin
Counselor, MA, LCPC
"I invite my patients to look directly at their problems with curiosity and compassion, to examine their thoughts and feelings freely in the context of a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. The therapy is a partnership in which we collaborate to understand and work through painful emotional difficutlies and break self-defeating patterns interfering with your relationships and daily life. A current crisis, life transition or parenting dilemma may also be the focus of therapy.
Sharon Lorang
Counselor, MA, LCPC
"As a therapist, my passion is to aid others in aligning the lives they are living with the path of the soul. Depth psychotherapy, meditation, and energy work, like the age old vision quest, creates a reflective space that can help us learn how to develop and actualize a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life. It may be time to dig a bit deeper in order to satisfy that quest for purpose. Often this search for meaning begs our attention through such symptoms as physical pain, depression, anxiety, anger or a simple but frustrating lethargy with life.
Susan R Smith
Psychologist, PhD
"My 20 plus years of experience as a therapist and coach have provided the perspective that a match between therapist style/client needs is essential for a successful experience. I work with high achieving older adolescents and adults using a blend of cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, problem solving, positive psychology models. I use an integrated, individualized model that emphasizes client strengths, resources and goals. My coaching involves persons who wish to achieve greater work-life balance, who struggle with life-style change related to health issues, or who are facing career transitions or obstacles to success.
Carol Paxton Cox
Psychologist, PsyD
"My primary goal is to help clients find the hope and courage to change and heal. I believe that all life circumstances, relationships, and experiences can lead to growth, learning, and greater self-acceptance. Ultimately therapy helps clients cope with loss and use difficult life transitions to promote personal growth. In working with individuals, couples, families, and children, I have helped them cultivate resources and develop strengths from very challenging diagnoses and life circumstances. I have helped clients suffering from relationship conflicts, health crises, depression, trauma-related issues, loss, compulsive behaviors, and anxiety disorders.

Chasing love, chasing dreams, chasing down teachers for extra credit work. All apart of being a teen. So many people write about the beginning and the end, but what happens between that? Stress, choices, heartbreak, responsibility, success, and more. These teens attend Clifford High School, a performing arts school. Senior year is here and this is where high school ends and life begins. I put Mindless Behavior in reality for a change, to see how they can deal with the real world.

Garcia, Michael J, Md - Rancho Springs Medical Ctr25500 Medical Center Dr, Murrieta, CA | Directions
Mon. - Fri. 9am - 5pm;Sat. - Sun. CLOSED
Great customer service – I wanted to take this moment to compliment this Hospital and it's staff for a very pleasant experience over the last 2 days. I recently had to admit my son for apecdectomy. From the moment we entered the emergency room, thru the process of cordination of films, Cat Scan, lab work and so on, it was pleasant. Whenever you take any family member to a situation like this, it is always a concern of do they really care. I really felt the professionalism, the nice attitude, and the effort under the circumstances to keep every patient comfortable and feeling important. I wish I could remeber all of the names of those who helped, but I did start to take notice of name tags after awhile. The admitting young lady was very nice, the receptionnist nice and promt, the first Dr that saw us in the hallway waiting for results of Cat Scan, The tech who performed the scan, the younman who took lab work, all very cool. Dr Eession, very relaxing and confident, Janice in the post op recovery, The anathiesiologists, the nurse that helped in pre op, nurse Kim who took care of him after surgery and all her help. It is impossible for me to name all, but the file will show that on Monday (10-6-08) at 2:30 pm we entered your hospital for a very routine procedure, but still my son, and left on Tuesday (10-7-08) at 4 pm and could not be happier. I want to thank all of you involved for your kindness. professionalism, and making me feel that Travis White was the most important person you were treating. Thanks, his Dad.

Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia, Eka Zghuladze has made definitions regarding the new legislative initiative tied with the availability of information in pre-election period and the arrest of the store of the Global Contact Consulting Company, which is suspecting of vote-buying by installing satellite antennas to subscribers for free. The fact has been assessed as vote-buying and under the motion of the prosecutor`s office; the court ruled that the store would be sealed until the investigation is over.Deputy Minister defined at the briefing today that neither the act of sealing, not the new legislative initiative should be assessed as restriction of the freedom of speech for media sources, but as the attempt to eliminate any attempt of vote buying.`Yesterday, the police arrested the satellite antennas of the Global Contact Consulting Company under the court ruling as the investigation on the cote-buying was launched. This act has nothing to do with the availability of media, freedom of speech or etc. The fact is tied with the attempt of handing over a material property to voters prior to the parliamentary elections by specific political figures - which is assessed as a vote-buying and should be punished according to law. We have a zero-tolerance policy and a very clear approach to any attempt of vote-buying or election rigging prior to the parliamentary elections. It does not mean that any political subject becomes the subject of interest, but it means that there will be no compromise while enforcing the rule of law. On the other hand, the government of Georgia is open for any new idea, if it allows us to make pre-election environment more open and fairer,` Eka Zghuladze said.

WEDNESDAY, April 3 (HealthDay News) -- The lifestyle choices you make as an adult -- not just your health habits as a child -- influence how much height you lose as you age, researchers say.
Their study also found that age-related loss of height provides clues about other health issues.
For the new study, American and Chinese researchers analyzed data collected from nearly 18,000 adults in China, beginning when they were 45 years old.
"The evidence shows that it is not only early life events that are associated with how we age, but health decisions in later life as well," John Strauss, a professor economics at the University of Southern California, said in a university news release.
He and his colleagues found that the overall age-related height loss was 1.3 inches among men and 1.5 inches among women. However, adults in cities had much less height loss than those in rural areas.
People who completed primary school also lost less height compared to those who were illiterate, 0.35 inches less in men and 0.23 inches less in women. In addition, men who completed high school lost 0.39 inches less than those who were illiterate.
Regardless of maximum height, loss of height is also an important indicator for other health issues as people age, according to the study in the April issue of the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics.
For example, the researchers found an especially strong link between height loss and memory and thinking skills. People who had lost more height were much more likely to perform poorly on tests of these skills.
Age-related height loss is normal, but that loss can be increased by certain health conditions, including arthritis, inflammation of spine joints or the bone disease osteoporosis. Previous research has shown that these health conditions are associated with lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise and smoking, the study authors noted.
Although the study found an association between lifestyle factors and differences in height loss with age, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about age-related changes in body shape.

Happy Valentine's day to our wonderful Social Graces family. We hope all our past, present and future couples are celebrating their love today!
Valentine's Day is a great day to spend with a special someone in your life. Whether it is the love of your life or your best girl friends, there is always something to do on Valentine's Day. An adorable trend that has been going around is a Valentine's Day themed wreath. Wreaths aren't just for Christmas anymore!
These wreaths are super easy to do and a fun way to craft with your family or friends. You can use a stencil to trace out the "X" and "O," or you can use twigs and ribbon. Either will keep the the theme of Valentine's Day.

All you need to do is create the "X" and "O" however you want, then hot glue them to your choice of ribbon. Hang the finished wreath on your door to show off your Valentine's Day creation!
Hey, remember us?!?

We are wedding planners, however, we are Megan and Becca outside of the wedding world who have other jobs, church, close families, husbands and babies. We love what we do but we have other loves in this world.
With that said…
We've been a little busy with our 2014 brides in the last couple of weeks and therefore, the blog has suffered. Thank you to our devout readers who still keep coming back daily to see us.
Because of you, we feel so blessed.
We also feel blessed about our 2014 year. We are almost at our max weddings and that makes me ever so excited. Because of the said loves, Social Graces only takes on so many weddings a year. We want to give time and energy to each bride. Your wedding is not a number or a date to us. You are our BRIDE and are so very special. We like to spend time with you, help you research, keep our minds fresh and still have time to play with our babies.
Did you catch I said, BABIES!?!
Well, you've all been introduced to my little ones, Zeda who is now 4 and Mr Ezra who came early on the morning of an event.
but now…
We welcome Megan into motherhood. That's right, MEGAN!
If you don't follow her personal blog you can get caught up on her journey here.
Tonight she flies to meet her sweet little guy, Elijah Thomas White in Phoenix.
This has been a whirlwind to say the least so join us in praying for this perfect new addition. If you feel led, here is a way you can help.
Thank you for your love and support. Of course there will be a party related to this new love. Saturday, December 7th, we are going to have a silent auction with Nik and Meg's closest friends and family. If you would like to donate an item, gift card or service you are more then welcome to. Please contact me at becca (at) eventsbysocialgraces (dot) com for more details.
My mom turned the big 5-0 earlier this month. We wanted to do something really special but also very intimate for the big day. So, we surprised her with a quaint backyard tented dinner party. It was the perfect evening and I couldn't have asked for it to go better. Here is a little peak into our little night.

On a different note, I always loved the houses there where you live.

PASADENA, Calif. — Move over SEC. Florida State is back on top.
Florida State finished No. 1 in the final Associated Press college football poll, ending the Southeastern Conference's record streak of seven national championships.
The Seminoles received all 60 first-place votes from the media panel after beating Auburn 34-31 in the BCS championship game on Monday night in the Rose Bowl.
Florida State's third AP national title (1993 and '99) ties it for ninth-most with rival Florida and Texas.
The Tigers (12-2) finished second in their extraordinary turnaround season, but for the first time since Texas was No. 1 in 2005, the Southeastern Conference is not on top of the final rankings.
Michigan State was third, followed by South Carolina and Missouri. Oklahoma finished sixth and Alabama was No. 7. So the SEC will have to settle for having four teams in the top seven. The SEC has seven ranked teams overall with No. 14 LSU, No. 18 Texas A&M and No. 24 Vanderbilt.
No. 8 Clemson, Oregon and UCF completed the top 10. UCF has never been ranked higher.
No. 11 Stanford, No. 12 Ohio State and No. 13 Baylor finished outside the top 10 after spending much of the season in the elite group.
No. 15 Louisville was followed by UCLA and Oklahoma State.
Southern California is 19th and Pac-12 rival Arizona State is 20th.
The final five were Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Duke, Vanderbilt and Washington.

BP Oil Spill Claimants' Personal Data Disappears with Lost Laptop
BP Oil Spill Claimants' Personal Data Disappears with Lost Laptop
Fahmida Y. Rashid
Posted 2011-03-30
A BP employee has misplaced a laptop containing the personal information of more than 13,000 U.S. residents who filed compensation claims against the oil giant in the wake of the Deepwater Horizons oil spill.
Gulf Coast residents who'd filed claims against oil giant British Petroleum in the wake of last year's oil spill have another thing to worry about: their private information has been lost and possibly exposed. A BP employee on a business trip misplaced a laptop containing private information of about 13,000 individuals, the oil company said March 29. The laptop contained a spreadsheet of names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and Social Security numbers belonging to people who filed compensation claims after the disastrous
April 2010 fire and oil spill
at the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
The spreadsheet listed only those who filed claims directly with BP before the Gulf Coast Claims Facility took over the processing in August 2010. There is no need for anyone to refile claims because of this incident, according to BP.
"There is no evidence that the laptop or data was targeted or that anyone's personal data has in fact been compromised or accessed in any way," said BP spokesman Tom Mueller. The laptop, lost March 1, was password-protected, but the information was not encrypted, according to BP spokesman Curtis Thomas. While there were reports that the laptop had the capability to be remotely disabled, BP did not comment to eWEEK on that feature. The company notified affected individuals of the information breach and offered free credit monitoring services with Equifax. The loss of the laptop has been reported to law enforcement and BP's security team.
BP declined to provide any information on the employee or where the laptop was lost because of the ongoing investigation. "The truth is employees will keep on losing their devices," Darren Shimkus, senior vice president of Credant Technologies, told eWEEK. Organizations should consider an integrated data protection strategy as the increasing number of consumer devices in the workplace means there are more endpoints for sensitive corporate data to reside, he said. "It's only going to get harder for IT" to implement and manage data security, Shimkus said. Employees need to be trained to think of these incidents in a broader sense, Josh Shaul, CTO of Application Security, told eWEEK. When a laptop with sensitive information is lost, employees tend to frame the incident as a lost device that needs to be replaced and not as a corporate data breach, he said. "It's really simple" how breaches happen, he said. Data breaches are a growing problem. The 2010 data breach report from
Ponemon Institute
found that the average cost of a data breach had risen to approximately $7.2 million. Using Ponemon's figures of a data breach on average costing organizations $214 per compromised record, this lost laptop incident might cost BP in the neighborhood of $2.78 million. That price tag would include the cost of notifying all the users and the state government, setting up a call center that can handle questions from worried victims and paying for credit monitoring services. BP said it has already paid about $5.2 billion in total claims since the April 10, 2010 explosion at the
Deepwater Horizon oil well
in the Gulf of Mexico. It took BP 85 days to stop an estimated 205 million gallons of oil from gushing into the sea. BP has directly paid out about $400 million in claims to individuals and businesses before Gulf Coast Claims Facility took over processing.

We loved our stay at the Gardens. The accommodation was immaculate and everything you could possibly ever want or need in a self catering cottage was provided (even those little things you eat bbq'd corn on the cobs!!) Honestly, the place was amazing. The king size bed in the double room was HUGE and so comfy. The three beds in the second room were equally comfy (my husband and I shared the bunks over the first three nights as my brother and his wife used the double room on those nights). There was a gleaming private BBQ to one side of the cottage and a private garden area with picnic bench & table to the other side (the other guests had their own seating area at the front of their accommodation). The hot tub was divine. The setting idyllic. I can't recommend the place highly enough! more

State Fair Cashless Plan Drawing Criticism
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A plan to eliminate cash sales at food vendors and other Iowa State Fair attractions has drawn criticism from some longtime fairgoers.
Patrons will no longer buy items with cash. Instead, they will buy tickets at about 50 fairgrounds spots and pay for food and beverages with those tickets. Fair officials said in announcing the system Tuesday that it will be more secure and speed up food purchases because vendors won't have to make change. Some fairgoers say the hassle of lines or figuring out how many tickets they'll need could be enough to make them stay home. Seventy-one-year-old Andi Blume told The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/KDfHdB ) that "it's just all an inconvenience." She says she and her husband don't attend other events that use a similar ticket system.

Can design change the world?
Can design change the world? Is there an ideal country to design in? Are the problems of a boutique design firm different from a global agency? These are questions designer Cagri Cankaya would find answers to, when he embarked on his project Designer On The Road.
Twenty-eight-year-old Cankaya, a successful art director in Turkey, wanted to prove that he could work, design and live anywhere. On July 11, 2011, he set off on a world tour, travelling to India, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, Ukraine, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, South Africa and Argentina, using his design skills to live in those countries for brief periods.
He gave up the luxury of space and the comfort of language, and culture to work in different locales, from game development studios, global advertising agencies, digital advertising companies, to start-ups and boutique design companies. While his freelancing assignments takes care of the air tickets, his accommodation and salary are paid by the host firm.
His connect with India happened through Sudhir Sharma, the head of a Pune-based design firm, whom he met at the Istanbul Design Week, more than a year ago. Sharma was the first to know about the project and invited him to work at his firm. For Cankaya, it was time to quit his job and get on the road.
Mumbai was his first halt, where he worked at Design FlyOver, a boutique design company. His first assignment was designing T-shirts and nightwear for a Jaipur-based organic textile company.
In Pune, he worked on several projects from designing showrooms to creating posters at INDI Design. He also made a brochure which lists 17 design laws. So what are the laws? "Law 17 reads Survival: Forget all other laws in order to survive," he says, cheekily.
