Apple iPad gets a kickstand
And the award for the first iPad case with a kickstand goes to... Scosche. The company that already makes iPod and iPhone cases is to release an Apple iPad case complete with kick stand so you can watch movies or double it up as a digital photo frame.
Called the kickBACK, what else, the shatterproof polycarbonate and rubber hybrid provides, according to the company, "superior protection for the Apple's new iPad tablet".
The case's patent pending locking kickstand enables both vertical and horizontal viewing and has a low angle setting for an optimal typing position. Scosche has also included moulded grips on the back of the kickBACK for more secure handling.
The kickBACK ships with a screen protector and cleaning cloth and will be ready in time for the iPad launch in March says the company. Those giddy with excitement will also be pleased to hear that it is the first of an entire line of accessories Scosche has planned.

One of the more intimidating machines for people is the Walking Foot Industrial Sewing Machine, which can be found at pretty much any TechShop.
The Juki Walking Foot (at TechShop San Jose) has a very useful safety feature built in, called a safety clutch mechanism, which will automatically engage if there is ever a sewing problem (thread in the hook, etc.) to prevent damage to the machine. However, it can be quite expensive to call a professional out to re-engage the clutch if you don't know how to do it yourself.
In this Instructable, I will show you how simple it is to re-engage the clutch and how do it do safely.
Step 1:
First, for safety reasons, remove your needle, being sure to note which way your needle is facing and where the scarf sits in regards to the machine.
Step 2:
Once you have this verified, turn your machine off and discharge the power from the motor by pressing down on the machine foot until the motor completely stops.
Step 3:
You will need to press it down completely and hold it while turning the hand wheel towards you. Like other industrial sewing machines, you will probably have to press down slightly on the machine foot in order to turn the wheel.
Turn the wheel both towards you and away from you until you feel the pin engage and press in a little further than it had been before. Once you have the pin fully engaged, start turning the hand wheel towards you.
You will hear a few small "pop" noises as you turn the wheel (again try turnign it both towards you and away from you), but eventually you will hear one very loud and quite distinct "POP" which means you have successfully re-engaged the safety clutch. Once you have done this, you will see the bobbin spin while turning the hand wheel.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
03 Jan 2012 17:06 GMT | Environment, US & Canada, United States
A German man has been arrested in connection with more than 50 suspected arson attacks that have destroyed parked cars and scorched buildings in Los Angeles, the second-largest city in the US, in the last four days.
Harry Burkhart, 24, was detained as the prime suspect and is being held by authorities without bail.
He was picked up by a reserve sheriff's deputy on Monday, after the officer noticed that he resembled a "person of interest" captured in a surveillance video and was in a van being sought by arson investigators.
The fires set over the last three days in Hollywood, neighbouring West Hollywood and in the San Fernando Valley have caused an estimated $3m in damage.
Police have so far declined to reveal any possible motive behind the suspected arson attacks.
Firefighters have not responded to any suspicious fires since Burkhart was taken into custody, the department said.
The fires, set over the New Year's weekend, forced many apartment residents to flee from their homes.
No serious injuries were reported to have resulted from the blazes, though one firefighter was hurt in a fall from a ladder, and another person suffered from smoke inhalation.
One the fires set on Saturday occurred at the Hollywood and Highland entertainment complex, a popular tourist site bordered on one side by the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Damaged buildings included a house that was once home to rock singer Jim Morrison, vocalist for the Doors, in Laurel Canyon.
Continued vigilance urged
Most of the fires began in cars, though authorities have not said how they were started. Investigators say they are not providing any immediate details because doing so may jeopardise their legal case.
The onslaught of intentionally lit fires has left residents of the Los Angeles area on edge in recent days.
Hundreds of investigators, police officers and firefighters have been dealing with the fires. Police conducted extra patrols through the weekend, and helicopters were on constant lookout for new fires.
On Monday morning, investigators said they were still piecing together the sequence of the blazes, examining more than 100 potential clues and interviewing witnesses.
Police urged residents to check their cars for any signs of tampering and suggested that people take simple precautions such as locking their vehicles and keeping garage and carport lights on at night.
Despite the arrest on Monday, authorities are continuing to urge vigilance.
"We're not resting, and we're not stopping" the extra patrols, Police Commander Andrew Smith said. "If you have lights in your carport area, keep them on tonight."
Some other deliberately set fires were reported on Thursday in Hollywood, and two people were arrested. But police said on Monday that those suspects were not connected with the 52 other blazes.

Suspect shot, trooper injured in SD pursuit
After the trooper tried pulling the suspect's vehicle over, she drove into the squad car and then into him
By Kristi Eaton
SIOUX FALLS, S.D.— An officer shot and wounded a woman early Wednesday after she ran over a South Dakota Highway Patrol trooper, critically injuring him, and then sped away, authorities said.
Neither the patrol nor the state attorney general's office released certain details about the incident, including the name of the suspect and the name and law enforcement agency of the officer who shot her.
Trooper Andrew Steen, 34, tried pulling the 25-year-old suspect's vehicle at around 2:30 a.m. on the west side of Sioux Falls, according to information from the Highway Patrol and state attorney general's office. The driver first drove into Steen's squad car and then into him, Patrol Capt. Kevin Joffer said.
"He was hit by the suspect's car and as a result he sustained injuries," Joffer said.
The suspect sped away and led law enforcement officers, including members of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department, on a brief chase. An officer whom authorities hadn't publicly identified shot the suspect, and she was apprehended less than a mile from the initial crash site.
Steen and the suspect were taken to a Sioux Falls hospital.
Joffer said Steen, an eight-year member of the Highway Patrol, was in critical but stable condition. Attorney General Marty Jackley said the suspect was wounded more than once. Her condition wasn't immediately made available. No charges have been filed in the case, said Joffer.
He said investigators are trying to reconstruct the scene of the crash. Initial reports were that Steen stopped the suspect because of erratic driving, but it's unclear if alcohol was involved.
"This is an ongoing investigation. We're trying to put all the pieces together and I don't want to jeopardize that investigation," Joffer said.
A shopping center and a city street were shut down early Wednesday as part of the crime scene. Sioux Falls police and state crime bureau agents were conducting the investigation.

Educating the next generation of Myanmarese children
Publication Date : 08-10-2012
Aung Kyi Oo was smiling saying that he only scored 390 on the mock-up TOFEL test recently. "I have to work harder to get higher score next time." The 19-year-old boy from Kaya ethnic group hopes that with a better mark he would be able to continue his education further. "I want to help my people."'
Aung Kyi Oo is also preparing for the GED (General Education Diploma) exam next June in Bangkok. Passing the standard GED examination gives students the equivalent of a high school diploma from the formal education sector. If he passes the GED examination, he then can compete for scholarships to study in local or overseas universities. Like many other students before him, to take the examination he will have to arrange a safe round-trip to Bangkok from this provincial town. It is not cheap - just the examination alone cost US$600.
He is one of the 60 students from a Learning Centre for Migrants operated in Mae Sot by the Education for Friendship Foundation, formerly known as the Minmahaw Education Foundation - one of the 74 centres spread throughout this provincial town at the Thai-Burmese border.
This centre, set up in 2007, is unique because it gives an international standard of English education. Several thousands of young students from undocumented Burmese migrant families and those residing in refugee camps along the 2,400-kilometre border receive some form of non-formal education both in Burmese and English languages. These centres are operated and funded by foreign donors and teaching volunteers. However, the Ministry of Education oversees their overall programmes.
Of late, given the ongoing reform inside Myanmar, these learning centres are urging the Ministry of Education to administrate a Thai standard high school test in English, similar to the GED, so that the students can continue their higher education within Thailand or broader Asean.
As Asean is moving towards a single community in 2015, many students would benefit from such a standard test in English. These high school students, albeit studying in make-shift class rooms and with inadequate teaching aids, have attained a surprisingly high caliber of learning.
Over the year-long education schemes, they have gone through vigorous studies and trainings similar to high school curriculums in American schools, taking up subjects such as English language and arts, writing, reading, social studies, science and mathematics. Depending on the personal skills of foreign volunteers, who have come from around the world with myriads of experience, the students receive skills and knowledge - sometimes on a one-to-one basis.
Indeed, a visit to the learning centre run by Education for Friendship Foundation revealed the high degree of students' general knowledge and self-confidence. So much so that some of the Thai families in the neighbourhood have asked the Foundation to include their children in the programme because of the English education. It is not an exaggeration to claim that these students have better English education than normal Thai students. In normal circumstance, to receive an English education such as this one but with a proper set-up and environment would cost parents several hundred thousands of baht a year. These students study for free.
As part of their community service standards, English language tutoring will soon be given to the Thai children living near the learning centre. Several young graduates of the centre have already been hired as English teachers at local Thai high schools, following the Ministry of Education's new mandate to promote English language as part of the preparation plan for the Asean Community.
That explains why these learning centres want a standard test in English so that the students can further their education without hindrance. The 60 students at the centre of Education for Friendship Foundation come from nearly all the large minority groups in Myanmar, including Karen, Mon, Kachin, Kaya and Shan. Other learning centres also share these similarities.
As the students are preparing for an uncertain future outside their country, nearly four million migrant workers continue their lives in Thailand. They also must prepare for the transitional period coming in the next few years. Both Thailand and Myanmar need to work out coordinated policies and programmes to facilitate their returning to their homelands or help those wanting to settle down in their adopted country. The reason is simple: Thailand continues to need migrant workers for its industries, especially in the fishing industry.
At the moment, Samutsakorn alone has half a million Burmese migrant workers. They are spread out in nearly 4,000 factories, and this has generated the second highest provincial GDP in the country after Rayong, with more than 160,000 baht per capita annually. For instance, in 2010 the factories in Samutsakorn hired more than 150,000 Burmese registered migrant workers, while only less than 350 Thai workers were willing to do the same job. This discrepancy suggests that migrant workers are still needed in the future because the Thai workers shun these manual labour jobs.
In a survey of 140,000 Burmese refugees in camps situated in Tak, Mae Hong Son and Kanchanaburi along Thai-Myanmar border, 20 per cent wanted to stay in Thailand, 30 per cent wanted to return home while the rest wanted to be settled in the third countries. The overseas resettlement option is becoming smaller in view of the swift changes inside Myanmar.
As such, the Thai government needs to come up with a comprehensive plan to prepare the refugee and migrant workers and their children for a smooth transition if they choose to stay. One of the several projects, which were approved during the Democrat-led government, was to establish a special economic zone on both sides of the border to ensure the continued economic growth so that workers would be employed. But somehow the project was not given much attention under this government.
The other one is the ongoing three-year project to rehabilitate the 160-kimlometre road from Myawaddy opposite Mae Sot to Moulmien facing the Andaman Sea. At the moment, the section toward Kawkariek remains a single lane, which has slowed down the traffic. It normally takes nearly three weeks to transport goods from Laem Chabang to Myanmar or India by sea through the Straits of Malacca. If it is completed next year, the land transportation route would shorten the current delivery timeframe from three days to a mere one day from Mae Sot to Moulmien.
Suriya Prasatbunnittya, governor of Tak province, told the author over the weekend that Mae Sot is currently the gateway to Myanmar, and more investment on infrastructure should be forthcoming from the Thai government. He argued that while the Dawei deep-sea port project sounds good in the long run, the Thai economy would benefit more from Mae Sot-Moulmien route for the next ten years. "We should not wait for the Dawei project to become a reality. We must do what we can now to build and use the existing facilities," he reiterated. Land price in Mae Sot has increased steadily in the past years since the reform pledges last March by the Thein Sein government.
As Myanmar receives a lot of attention from all over the world, the refugees, migrant workers and their families must not be left out. One of the best ways to prepare them for the new Myanmar is to make sure the young generation of students inside Thailand at this moment receive their education without disruption and be given proper recognition so that they can become creative forces in their own society or in their adopted one.

"...even the sheets of paper on which one endeavors to put together a few words and sentences seem covered in mildew. For days and weeks on end one racks one's brains to no avail, and if asked, one could not say whether one goes on writing purely out of habit, or a craving for admiration, or because one knows not how to do anything other, or out of sheer wonderment, despair or outrage, any more than one could say whether writing renders one more perceptive or insane. Perhaps we all lose our sense of reality to the precise degree to which we are engrossed in our own work, and perhaps this is why we see in the increasing complexity of our mental constructs a means for greater understanding, even while intuitively we know that we shall never be able to fathom the imponderables that govern our course through life." -W.G.

The National Association of Federal Credit Unions' (NAFCU) February Economic & CU Monitor survey found that credit unions, and by extension their 96 million members, are paying a high price for retailers' data breaches. NAFCU estimates that the recent Target data breach could end up costing the credit union community nearly $30 million. Among those surveyed, the average cost for the Target data breach was $45,000.
"The survey findings are staggering. Credit unions are being hit by a double whammy in terms of numbers of possible data breaches and costs while they continue to pick up the tab for retailers who are not subject to the same high level of data security standards," said NAFCU Chief Economist and Director of Research David Carrier. "It is ironic that despite the ample rules in place to ensure data protection standards at financial institutions like credit unions, merchants and retailers are not held accountable for data breaches. Cybercriminals will continue to capitalize on this double standard and wreak havoc with consumers and our economy."
NAFCU's Economic & CU Monitor on data security reported:
- Respondents were alerted to a possible breach 263 times on average in 2013, and the average amount spent on data security measures was $158,600.
- Respondents reported an average of $152,000 for data breaches in 2013. The median cost was $59,000.
- The bulk of these costs were related to fraud losses and investigations (46.7 percent), followed by reissue costs (34.4 percent) and monitoring costs (19 percent). Reissuing cards takes 7 days, on average, and costs $5 per card.
- Almost half (42 percent) of respondents confirmed that their reputation had been harmed due to a merchant data breach.
- Survey respondents indicated that an average of 10,300 cards were affected by merchant data breaches in 2013.
NAFCU was the first financial services trade association to weigh in on this issue on Capitol Hill and urged Congress to take action and set national data security standards for retailers and merchants. Financial institutions, including credit unions, have been subject to standards on data security since 1999 under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. However, retailers and other entities that handle sensitive personal financial data are not. So, when a data breach occurs, financial institutions bear a significant burden as the issuers of payment cards used by millions of consumers.
NAFCU is urging Congress to pass S. 1927, the "Data Security Act of 2014," by Sens. Tom Carper, D-Del., and Roy Blunt, R-Mo. This bill leaves intact the federal standards already imposed on financial institutions and seeks to extend the protection further, by setting national standards for all merchants and retailers to follow in protecting data, providing timely breach notification and paying their share of the clean-up when breaches occur.
NAFCU's Economic and CU Monitor is a member-only monthly e-newsletter of the latest macroeconomic and financial trends affecting today's credit unions, including trend data among NAFCU member federal credit unions.
The National Association of Federal Credit Unions is the only national organization that focuses exclusively on federal issues affecting credit unions, representing its members before the federal government and the public.

Public Cloud IaaS started its life in the developer and startup communities and has grown rapidly to a $20B+ industry, but it still pales in comparison to how much is spent worldwide on IT: $3.6 trillion.

Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology.

Digital Transformation means: handling all the data types being found and created in the organizat...

Meg Cabot's latest novel, Abandon, reimagines the ancient Persephone myth. It's a dark story that deals with death and rebirth, suicide and vengeful violence. And I loved it.
It came as a shock when I looked up at the clock a few days ago, book in hand, and realized it was way past my bedtime and I had torn through about 200 pages. Why? Because I'd never considered myself a paranormal romance enthusiast. Meg Cabot's new book? Awesome. The genre? Eh, not so much.
But I found Abandon easy to love. From heroine Pierce, a high school senior telling her own crazy tale, to the slow unveiling of the mysterious John Hayden, the characters were ridiculously lifelike. Pierce's overbearing father could have been my bestie's dear ol' dad. And Alex and Kayla? They could totally have attended my high school.
The story itself is gripping. While its timeline is frustratingly vague in the first few pages, once you resign yourself to finding out what's going on later, you fall into the world Cabot creates. And what a world! Even with the paranormal, dreamlike elements of the Underworld, Furies and death deities, there's a sense that this could all really be happening. A simple accident could land you in Pierce's shoes and take you on the adventure of a lifetime.
What did I love most? As an ancient history buff, I adored how Cabot reimagined the myth of Persephone without completely rewriting. It remained a myth to the characters in the novel, too. This wasn't just a fanciful retelling ala Beastly but more of a continuing story.
TALK BACK: Tell us what you think
Let's get the conversation going with a few discussion questions. Feel free to address them (or not) in the comments!
1. What do you think the title, Abandon, means?
2. What did you think of Meg Cabot's use of the Persephone myth and the Underworld?
3. Abandon is the first book in a trilogy. What do you think we can expect to happen in the next two books?

Dfw TestRead MoreThomas Volmer credits his wife, Rachel, for inspiring them to start helming boot camps. She wasn't always a fitness guru, though. "She was a commercial banker and she was 70 pounds overweight," Volmer recalls. Once she started to reclaim her life, "she just fell in love with fitness," he says. She eventually dropped 80 pounds with proper exercise and nutrition, spurring her to earn her AFAA personal training certification and pursue a career as a full-time trainer. Personal experience lends Rachel and the other trainers—including Sharon Monk, who lost more than 200 pounds by exercising and eating healthily—empathy and a motivating demeanor when working with campers. At each location, they get groups doing pushups, swinging kettlebells, and flipping tires in a positive environment that's focused on teamwork, rather than competition. "You start as a group, you finish as a group," says Thomas. "But the activities that you do in between might be different based on your abilities." In addition to leading sessions, Rachel creates easy-to-use online meal plans (including a vegetarian plan), which campers can customize to help them stay on track. Options range from the simple, such as cereal with fruits, nuts, and flaxseeds, to the creative, including honey-sweetened oatmeal peanut-butter cookies. She also includes the calorie count for each recipe. Users can pick from simple meals made for one person or larger entrees designed with an entire family or pet elephant in mind.601 N Glenville DrRichardson, TX US
Sleep Central Mattress StoreRead MoreAt Vada Spa, staff members devote their international training to beauty rituals that use natural and organic products from GM Collins and Pevonia Botanica. Two floors accommodate spacious mani-pedi bars, styling stations, and private, candle-lit treatment rooms that all swirl with activity until 9 p.m. every day. The owners of the Spa make sure that each service is administered by a true specialist––laser technicians only do laser procedures and aestheticians never hand over their facial duties to an assistant or nearby welder. "We're very particular about who we hire," one of the spa owners says. "It has to be someone who's experienced. We don't have anyone here who's just starting out or fresh out of school." Since their mission is to be a one-stop destination for head-to-toe spa services, Vada's owners do their best to reserve hairstyling chairs and treatment rooms for walk-in customers. They also pride themselves on their expertise with the male aesthetic, offering a lineup of guy-specific spa services including back facials, shoulder waxing, and spare-tire rotations.1310 W Campbell Rd, Ste 122Richardson, TX US

Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees.

Fat Tire is almost here!
Popular Colorado brew is coming to Maryland.
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on August 16, 2011
-Courtesy of Daniel Mayhugh
It's been a long time coming, but popular Colorado-based brew Fat Tire is finally arriving in Maryland. This Monday, August 22, bottles of New Belgium Brewery's Fat Tire will be stocked at Loading Dock Liquors in Canton. On August 25, the liquor store will host a tasting to celebrate its arrival.
New Belgium is the third largest craft brewery in the United States with a huge presence in the west that's starting to trickle its way over to our part of the country. I had my first Fat Tire Amber Ale in Seattle, pictured, and was impressed with its crisp, caramel-like flavor. The beer also has a really pretty golden hue.
In addition to the Amber Ale, Loading Dock will also receive New Belgium's seasonal Hoptober. When I asked the store's cashier if they had received any requests already, he laughed and said, "Yup. They started about two years ago."

Shell and Motiva donate parks
Local companies add green space to parish
March 22, 2006 at 3:04 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
Shell Chemical Norco and Motiva Refining Norco representatives, St. Charles Parish officials and several members of the Norco Parks Steering Committee were on hand to officially open two Norco Recreational Parks.
The official opening of the parks marks the completion of a three-year development and construction project sponsored by Shell Chemicals Norco and Motiva Norco Refining.
"It took three years of work to develop the parks for your enjoyment," said Shell Chemicals Site Manager Carol Triebel, who welcomed the community to the dedication event. "Today, we are also leaving a legacy for your children and grandchildren. "
"Shell and Motiva are showing great corporate citizenship with the development of the parks," said St. Charles Parish President Albert Laque, who participated in the ribbon cutting ceremonies. "We feel good about the parks for our citizens and our Parish. There is always need for more recreation areas. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to Shell and Motiva ."
The project, adding some 11 acres of green space to Norco, represents fulfillment of a quality of life pledge to the community. Shell and Motiva purchased homes bordering site facilities to create a buffer zone and enrich recreational opportunities for Norco residents. St. Charles Parish Recreation Department agreed to maintain and manage the parks following construction and improvements.
"The design and layout of each park reflects suggestions and feedback from a Norco Parks Steering Team, comprised of area residents, as well as input collected through several open house community meetings," said Motiva Site Manager Keith Casey.
East Park facilities include a walking path, three picnic pavilions, playground equipment and approximately 20 off-street parking spaces. A park trail system offers several different options for walking, incorporating pedestrian bridges throughout the site. Separate, clearly marked play areas for toddlers and older children incorporate playground equipment noted for high durability as well as safety. The fenced-in playground also includes a rubberized safety surface for further protection.
Highlights of the West Park include improved lighting for an existing baseball field, the addition of a new softball field, covered dugouts, a grandstand, a playground, paved parking, 46 new parking spaces and the addition of a multi-use playing field. The site also offers a walking trail between the baseball and softball fields.
Landscaping for both parks include mature shade trees and shrubbery suited for south Louisiana climate.
Moore Planning Group, LLC served as landscape architects and site planners. LaMay Group, LLC, a family-owned Louisiana business, is responsible for construction.
