ASUS rebrands its tablets 'Transformer Pads,' announces the high-end Infinity Series with either Tegra 3 or Snapdragon's S4 chip
Yes, another one. Less than four months after announcing the original T201 Transformer Prime and slightly modified TF700T, ASUS is adding uno más to the collection. And don't be fooled by the name: though the company is rebranding its tablet line "Transformer Pads," the newly announced Infinity Series looks a lot like a product we've already seen. Essentially, it's the TF700T with a dual-core Qualcomm MSM 8960 Snapdragon S4 CPU and an optional LTE radio. Now, before you gasp that ASUS has ditched NVIDIA, hear this: there will still be a Tegra 3 option, but that's just the WiFi-only version; the 3G / 4G versions will pack the S4 chip.
Additionally, there will be a lower-end 16GB option (the TF700T was only available in 32GB and 64GB flavors). Otherwise, the specs are the same, including dual 8MP / 2MP cameras, 1GB of RAM, HDMI and a 10.1-inch, 1920 x 1200, Super IPS+ Gorilla Glass display. This time around, it has Gorilla Glass 2, but that's a mild spec bump indeed.
Unlike the original Prime, which shipped with Honeycomb but updated to Ice Cream Sandwich shortly after going on sale, the Infinity Pad will run Android 4.0 out of the box. It also comes with 8GB of free lifetime ASUS WebStorage and is rated for 10 hours of battery life (16 with that signature keyboard dock, sold separately). No word yet on pricing or availability. In any case, though, we wouldn't be surprised if ASUS gave birth to another tablet between now and then.

'Harry Potter' Leaves Oscars With Nothing But A Tax Joke
Despite being nominated 12 times, the children's series has never won an Academy Award.
By Terri Schwartz

The only thing "Harry Potter" got during the Oscars ceremony was a joke from host Billy Crystal saying that, despite how much money the series has made in the box office, it's only had to pay 14 percent in income taxes. It certainly was a poor send-off for one of the most beloved and highest-grossing movie franchises in film history.
The series has never been honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Sunday night's (February 26) three losses — for art direction, makeup and visual effects — brought the total number of losses to 12 for the eight films.
"Potter" star Evanna Lynch took to Twitter to express her frustration, writing, "Agggghhhh this is infuriating... Bloody muggles. #oscarfail"
Agggghhhh this is infuriating... Bloody muggles. #oscarfail
— Evanna Lynch (@Evy_Lynch) February 27, 2012
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" lost twice to "Hugo" (a fellow children's film) and once to "The Iron Lady." "Harry Potter" leading man Daniel Radcliffe gave his take on the lack of respect for the big-screen adaptation of J.K. Rowling's franchise in a recent interview.
"There's a certain amount of snobbery [in the Academy]," Radcliffe said. "It's kind of disheartening. I never thought I'd care. But it would've been nice to have some recognition, just for the hours put in."
He added, "I don't think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed by Martin Scorsese. I was watching 'Hugo' the other day and going, 'Why was this nominated and we're not?' I was slightly miffed."
The Academy didn't even offer "Harry Potter" a series achievement award like the BAFTAs did last year. Some "Potter" fans had expected the series to be rewarded by the Academy for its many years of financial and critical acclaim the same way Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was. Unfortunately, that did not end up being the case.
Despite a lack of love from the Academy, we at MTV News decided to honor the series in this week's edition of Talk Nerdy.

GPS Tracker: Mapping the Entire world the Simple Way | or nursing
- February 25th, 2012
All of us have been so utilized with living in the technologies laden globe that we oftentimes fail to be appreciative of the origins of our technological comforts. We occasionally receive so utilized with the modern means of life that we no longer feel amazed about the wonders of it all. Let us be more appreciative of the most important contributions of technologies with human existence that makes our living a lot easier. Perhaps among the most important contributions of technologies is the GPS (Global Positioning System).
The origins
It is interesting with look back at the origins of normal everyday technological stuff that we see around. Originally, the GPS tracker was meant with be a tool tailored for military utilize and not for the normal citizen. Due with the efficiency and functionality of the GPS technologies, it has prepared it with the public scene. GPS powered tools and devices are today commonplace and truly a thing with be thankful for.
The workings of GPS technology
Images from satellites placed strategically in area are the reason why we have GPS Trackerpowered devices nowadays. This really is the logic or work behind the GPS technologies that we could today enjoy. We could truly be thankful because the discovery of GPS has changed the face of our technologies.
Choices in place mapping
Before the discovery of the GPS tracker, understanding the exact place of different places, aspects and people in real time could be especially difficult if not impossible. Getting a paper map and computing for all the longitude and latitude markings could tell you the place of a certain spot but would take a lot of time and effort. Moving objects or individuals could be especially difficult with track down with exact locations if not for the GPS. So, we could clearly see that individuals have the pressing need for a monitoring device that could track down these moving targets. We are indeed blessed because the GPS which was supposedly a military exclusive tool is today accessible for all of us with enjoy.
Various applications
GPS devices are today being used in different methods with help human existence. The application of GPS technologies in normal everyday goods like cellphones and computers has prepared GPS even closer and more incorporated into our lives. Business, travel communications and various other facets of human living is today aided by GPS. Surely, GPS technologies is bound for a path of even greater developments.

Facebook Redesigns Groups To Be More Timeline-y and Purposeful, Less Spammy
Today Facebook rolled out a limited redesign of Groups, featuring a big new Timeline-style cover image, and a prompt for users to prominently label "What should people post in this group?" See, if you're not careful, your intimate Facebook Groups can balloon in population and stray off topic generating annoying notifications for everyone. This redesign makes Groups feel more close knit, and will encourage them not to devolve into a chaotic array of kitten photos, political diatribes, and self-serving announcements. After all, that's what the news feed is for.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/GgeBwvMQugU/

NATO's 'improper disposal' of Qurans inflames Afghan protesters (+video)
More than 1,000 Afghans protested after hearing reports that NATO personnel improperly disposed of some Qurans at a base in Afghanistan.
America's hopes of winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan people have suffered yet another blow.
Skip to next paragraphPlans by NATO personnel to burn Qurans at Bagram Air Base north of Kabul have set off violent protests, with at least 1,000 demonstrators throwing stones and calling for US and NATO forces to leave Afghanistan.
That burning Qurans might anger Afghans has been made pretty clear before: In 2010 a US evangelical pastor, Rev. Terry Jones, threatened to burn Qurans outside his Florida church, and a year later, when followers of that US pastor actually carried out the threat. Eleven United Nations personnel were massacred in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e Sharif in April 2011, after protestors broke into their compound, apparently seeking revenge for the Reverend Jones?s actions. A separate protest in the southern city of Kandahar at the time left nine people dead and dozens injured.
On Tuesday, the NATO commander, Gen. John R. Allen, released a statement apologizing for the planned burning, saying it was not intentional according to The New York Times:
?ISAF personnel at Bagram Air Base improperly disposed of a large number of Islamic religious materials which included Korans,? ?the statement said.
?When we learned of these actions, we immediately intervened and stopped them. The materials recovered will be properly handled by appropriate religious authorities.?

'Safe House,' 'The Vow' beat out new 'Ghost Rider' (omg!)
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? The President's Day holiday weekend box office was too close to call as the action tale "Safe House" and the love story "The Vow" competed for the No. 1 spot.
Based on Sunday's studio estimates, Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds' "Safe House" had a slim lead with $24 million from Friday to Sunday. That put it a fraction ahead of Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum's "The Vow" with $23.6 million.
The winner won't be known for certain until Tuesday, when studios will report final numbers for the long holiday weekend. Final numbers often vary from weekend projections, which include estimates for the size of Sunday's audiences.
No matter which one finishes on top, the movie business remains unusually brisk for winter, typically a slow season at theaters. The business uptick comes after Hollywood lumbered through a humdrum holiday season at the end of last year, when audiences were apathetic about most new releases.
"I still think people don't want to stay home, and if you give them good choices, you get them out," said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal Pictures, which released "Safe House."
The top-five movies were bunched up tightly, with Nicolas Cage's sequel "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" opening a close No. 3 with $22 million.
Dwayne Johnson's family action tale "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" was No. 4 with $20.1 million. Reese Witherspoon's love-triangle comedy "This Means War" debuted at No. 5 with $17.6 million.
Starring Washington as a CIA traitor on the run, "Safe House" raised its domestic total to $78.2 million. Sony Screen Gems' "The Vow," which features McAdams as an amnesiac car-accident victim becoming reacquainted with her husband (Tatum), lifted its total to $85.5 million.
While "Safe House" and "The Vow" held up well, Sony's "Ghost Rider" follow-up came in below industry expectations, doing a bit less than half the $45 million the first one pulled in with its 2007 debut.
In "Spirit of Vengeance," Cage reprises his Marvel Comics role as Satan's bounty hunter, this time trying to save a child from the devil.
Released by Warner Bros., "Journey 2" is a modern take on Jules Verne's "The Mysterious Island." It padded its total to $53.2 million.
In 20th Century Fox's "This Means War," Witherspoon plays a woman who captures the hearts of two CIA agents (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy), the spy guys going from best pals to rivals as they pursue her.
Disney's English-language version of the Japanese animated hit "The Secret World of Arrietty" opened in narrower release and came in at No. 9 with $6.4 million. Based on Mary Norton's children's novel "The Borrowers," about tiny people living beneath the floorboards of a house, the film features a voice cast that includes Carol Burnett, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett.
The weekend's overall domestic revenues totaled $160 million, up 10.7 percent from the same weekend last year, when "Unknown" led with a $21.9 million debut, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.
So far this year, revenues have soared to $1.42 billion, a 19 percent increase from 2011's receipts.
"Every weekend this year has been up vs. the comparable weekend a year ago, so Hollywood is definitely on a roll right now," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Tuesday.
1. "Safe House," $24 million ($6 million international).
2. "The Vow," $23.6 million ($6.8 million international).
3. "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," $22 million.
4. "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," $20.1 million ($26 million international).
5. "This Means War," $17.6 million ($11 million international).
6. "Star Wars: Episode I ? The Phantom Menace" in 3-D, $7.9 million ($10 million international).
7. "Chronicle," $7.5 million.
8. "The Woman in Black," $6.6 million ($8.4 million international).
9. "The Secret World of Arrietty," $6.4 million.
10. "The Grey," $3 million.

Harness the Power of Social Media to Develop Your Company
In the last issue of Facebook for Business we talked about how to create a page for your business on Facebook. For this issue, we will talk more about attracting new customers for your business through Facebook.
As we have discussed before, it?s important to establish online presence through social media management sites particularly Facebook even if your company already has an official website.
Why, you may ask? Simple Because Facebook is able to reach people more than any business website could. It gives a sense of friendliness to companies that would seem too corporate for prospects to check out or a sense of credibility to starting companies who have no website to speak of.
In addition to this, a Facebook page makes it possible for any company to get more interactive towards their customers. They can get feedback for the products, services and promos they offer. While you can also get negative feedback from some customers, this should not keep you from using a business page from Facebook. This is because you can easily moderate it as you want.
For instance, if you have a mind to; you can retain the best feedback and just hide the rest. This way, your potential buyers will be able to get an idea about how your products or services have benefited others. Using your company feedback this way will help entice potential customers because of the sense of authenticity that comes with it.
In addition to that, customers who are fed up of the usual online marketing tactics such as newsletters and ads will most likely go to Facebook to have their concerns answered. A Facebook page makes it possible for your business to reach 500 Million users worldwide and you don?t even have to purchase email addresses like what traditional email marketing requires.
Interaction isn?t limited to Facebook updates and wall posts though. One can also use the Photos and Notes page. If you are using a Fan page which is recommended for businesses (rather than a personal profile page), you can modify the posting ability of your Facebook fans which allow them to post links, videos, and photos.
If done this way, your potential customers will be ale to perceive how your products or services are being used by your customers. Again, this can engage the community to be more interactive as was successfully executed by Pampers? Facebook Fanpage. Other companies like Ben & Jerry?s go as far as polling customers. This gives customers a sense of power with regards to their products, which in turn will give them a sense of ownership and acceptance.
You can also let your customers know about your company?s promos, special prices and discounts using Facebook. This is exactly what the company rushIMPRINT did. The page easily leads the customers back to the official business site as well as their contact number. Other businesses even offer exclusive deals to their customers through Facebook.
If you?re implementing Facebook marketing, this is a very good way to determine whether your page is effective or not in attracting customers. Several gifts or rewards can be given exclusively to Facebook members who are not reachable through email, Twitter or your business site.
Companies like Baskin Robbins develop and utilize a Facebook tool that helps their page become more interactive and attractive to customers. They offer a Buy One, Get One promo which ice cream lovers will certainly not want to miss.
The simple fact is, Facebook is an easy tool to master and just by adding the right sense of fun, differentiating you and your company from the rest in the market, you will quickly see a nice return for your efforts!
Keep watch for our next issue. We will discuss more details about creating a Fan Page for your business using Facebook.
You can get the traffic if you choose to incorporate Facebook for Business. However, if you want to find out more check out here for more Facebook marketing strategies.

Movie Review: Borrowing From The Style of An Animation Mentor ...
Location
Wide Release
Dates
Opens Feb 17Animator Hiromasa Yonebayashi has worked with Hayao Miyazaki (Howl?s Moving Castle, Spirited Away) since the great Japanese filmmaker?s Princess Mononoke, and it takes only a glance at Yoneayashi?s first directorial project, The Secret World of Arrietty, to see the continuity of Studio Ghibli?s appealing and unmistakable visual style.
Arrietty (Bridgit Mendler) is a spirited 14-year old girl who lives with her father and mother in the floorboards of a house outsideTokyo. They are ?borrowers,? and for generations, their kind have lived in a symbiotic relationship with human beings, taking small items ? sugar cubes, tissues, garden leaves ? that sustain their existence. Their largely peaceful existence (save occasional attacks from the housecat) is interrupted with the arrival of a sickly boy, Sho (David Henrie) who notices Arrietty in the garden, and then again, one night when she is out collecting items with her father. Sho, lonely and kind, seeks Arrietty?s friendship, but soon the adults in the house begin to suspect that the little people exist. That means the borrowers are forced to leave.
This scenario, based on the novel by Mary Norton, allows Yonebayashi to explore a creature-comfort world akin to Beatrice Potter?s stories, and much of the fun of Arrietty is just being in the world of the borrowers, creeping through walls and rappelling down cupboards. Unlike Miyazai, Yonebayashi?s fairy tale doesn?t transgress into the darkly innocence or spiritually fantastic, which means Arrietty isn?t as transcendent a film as his mentor?s. But Arrietty is strong-hearted, and it wraps into its sweet and entertaining fairy tale fitted with the pains and joys that force the maturation.

Houston mayor has plan for a new crime lab
After two years of fruitless talks with the county regarding how to merge crime lab operations, Mayor Annise Parker plans to unveil today the first step of a go-it-alone strategy that ultimately would result in a city crime lab that is out from under police control.
Parker will propose an independent board to oversee the crime lab, mayoral spokeswoman Janice Evans said.
The Parker plan aims to establish a shop where neither police nor prosecutors dictate the speed, priority or thoroughness of the testing and analysis of evidence.
Doing so without the county's buy-in means the two governments are staking out plans to continue operating separate and, in some cases, duplicative operations.
Last month, Commissioners Court approved a plan to start construction on a forensics tower at the end of 2013, funded by $80 million in bonds approved by county voters in 2007. County officials are wary of sharing control of the new lab without also sharing its costs.
Criminal justice advocates praised Parker's push for independence.
"We definitely see it as a much-needed step to ensuring that people are not wrongfully convicted," said Ana Y??ez-Correa, executive director of the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, which advocates for human and civil rights and protecting public safety. "Independence is key."
'Competing models'
The city and county have disagreed on what independence means. County officials insist that although Commissioners Court has the power to appoint the director of its Institute for Forensic Sciences and to set its budget, the operation runs independently of the sheriff and the district attorney. Parker has said that to hand over the city's crime lab work to the county "simply substitutes one government master for another government master."
"In one sense, we will have two competing models. In that way we'll be able to see which one works out better," said Pat McCann, former president of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association. "In the other sense, it's a shame that real tax savings can't be had across all Harris County, which includes the city, and get a better bang for the taxpayer dollar."
The city's crime lab has struggled with problem after problem since an independent audit a decade ago revealed shoddy forensic work including unqualified personnel, lax protocols and facilities that included a roof that leaked rainwater onto evidence. The Houston Police Department currently has a backlog of untested rape kits that last summer was estimated at approximately 7,000.
The mayor's plan does not preclude merging operations with the county, Evans said.
"In fact, we hope we can reach agreement on something that would include more entities than the city," she said. The local government corporation board Parker envisions would have the power to broker deals with other jurisdictions.
Merger not ruled out
County Judge Ed Emmett said that although the city and county are on separate tracks right now, Parker's proposal ultimately could make it easier for the two governments to come together.
"By having the LGC, it opens up more options for how the city can approach forensic science, including partnering with the Institute of Forensic Sciences," Emmett said.
The city currently uses local government corporations to run its convention business and the Parks Board. The mayor appoints board members, but cannot overturn board decisions.
The details of the plan shared publicly in advance of the City Council briefing addressed only governance of the lab. The plan does not appear to address operations, but, presumably, would leave those decisions to the new board. Evans said the board could be in place by late spring and that independent crime lab operations could start before the end of Parker's second term in 2013.

Expert Bird Care Instruction | Eductational DVDs for Bird Owners ...
Review
In a continuation of excellent advice on bird care from top-notch avian specialists, this third in the series of Expert Companion Bird Care delves into four important categories.
The avian specialists provide critical information on what to look for when considering purchasing a bird, the pros and cons of a variety of grooming techniques, and the advantages of DNA testing to not only determine a bird?s gender, but most critically, to accurately identify the pet, should that question ever arise.
As in Parts I & II, this video is essential to new and existing bird owners. Both novices and veteran bird owners will glean vital information to properly care for their companion bird, and existing owners likely will see the importance of revisiting and refreshing their knowledge of caring for their birds from this presentation.
I was significantly impressed with the segments on purchasing a bird and how much thought must go into decision making before a bird comes home.
In just a 40-minute video, the outstanding cast of avian specialists pack a large amount of vital information in a succinct and amazingly educational manner.
There is no ?down time? in this fast-paced video, which, however, is easy to follow.
The first chapter delves into the basics of selecting a place to purchase a bird, and knowing the right questions to ask to ensure the pet bird has had and will continue to have a healthy diet, housing, toys and other essentials. The segment also emphasizes the importance of visiting a veterinarian directly after purchase to ensure the bird is in good health.
This chapter also explores smaller, specialized bird shops and their ability to provide everything a bird owner will need, from veterinarian contacts to continuing education resources.
Next, a comparison is made between buying a bird from a large ?multi-center? store. Overall, this segment seems to imply that because the staffs of large big-box stores sell everything related to companion pets, their specific knowledge of birds likely is not as thorough as specialized shops.
It is an excellent point and one of myriad things to consider when purchasing a bird. The chapter also describes in great detail how to determine the general health of a bird, a vital bit of knowledge to have.
Grooming in the third chapter is impressive in its detailed discussion of what is perhaps necessary and what might not be when trimming flight feathers, nails and sometimes beaks.
The veterinarian in this segment goes into great detail about how sensitive birds? beaks can be, and grinding them to shorter lengths likely is not necessary unless the beak grows abnormally.
This grooming chapter will make any owner, or bird owner-to-be feel confident and duly informed about grooming prior to seeking a qualified groomer. It also emphasizes the need for regular bird baths to help dry skin conditions.
The final chapter is on the use of DNA testing to determine gender, which at first seemed a bit too technical, but the bottom line of using DNA samples to identify birds is extremely valuable information, especially should these ?family members? become lost.
I began keeping my medium to large birds 16 years ago, and I learned a lot about their needs through a variety of hit-or-miss resources and by trial and error.
If I?d had access to this 40-minute video, I?d have been far more knowledgeable when purchasing my first bird, and he might have been more tolerant of me during the first couple of years.
I am confident in suggesting that this video is a must for the avian lover?s library.

Chosen Answer:
PTs work mostly with people with injuries. It is a clinical doctorate. It takes 6-7 years after hs. www.apta.org.
What you describe is a personal trainer. They do not even need a degree just passing a weekend certification course. They make very little money.
