Mac users get hacked, too. Here are some tips for when you think your Apple's core is rotten with malware.
No one is immune to malware, and, though Apple users have been largely ignored by the bad guys, malware targeted at Apple machines is on the rise. Last year's Flashback trojan, for instance, made users think twice about security. If you are (or suspect you have been) infected with malware, here are some tips on how to clean up your system and keep it from happening again.

"What's past is prologue," wrote Shakespeare. We must begin to think far more seriously about what our current education is prologue to—and whether that's now enough. No longer is the unenhanced brain the wisest thing on the planet. Students who don't have technology's powerful new capabilities at their command at every turn are not better 21st century humans but lesser ones.

The fact that many adults would dispute this statement illustrates how few understand the extent to which the world has changed in our kids' lifetimes, and the role technology now plays. Let me clarify: Technology isn't about new "stuff." It's not about laptops, iPads, cell phones, or the software kids use. It's not about different ways to do what we do now. And it's certainly not about what we should or shouldn't allow kids access to. All those ways of seeing technology are misleading. Technology, rather, is an extension of our brains; it's a new way of thinking. It's the solution we humans have created to deal with our difficult new context of variability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. The human mind, as powerful as it is, is no longer powerful enough for our world; the old "tried and true" human capabilities just aren't enough. Technology provides us with the new and enhanced capabilities we need. So technology isn't something we need in addition to mental activity; technology is now part of mental activity. And we need to use it wisely.

Bringing your own device to work may be beneficial to the worker, but what about when personal citizen data gets loaded on to such devices? British authorities are firing off the warning flares.
The ICO this week published its latest guidance note [PDF] on some of the risks that employers face when allowing personal devices into the enterprise. While BYOD is on the rise in the U.K., employers must still remember that the Data Protection Act—which stems from a 1995 European directive—still applies to these devices.

The website of the Raspberry Pi Foundation came under a DDoS attack on Tuesday afternoon but the motive for attacking the charitable foundation remains unclear.
The botnet behind the attack appears to have been quite large. "For those interested, this one's quite hardcore: We're seeing a SYN flood from a botnet that seems to have about a million nodes," said the Foundation on Twitter. "This is the second attack in a couple of days. We haven't had the blackmail email yet. It's getting plonked when it arrives."

Wikipedia: Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic or probabilistic logic; it deals with reasoning that is approximate rather than fixed and exact. Compared to traditional binary sets (where variables may take on true or false values) fuzzy logic variables may have a truth value that ranges in degree between 0 and 1. Fuzzy logic has been extended to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false.[1] Furthermore, when linguistic variables are used, these degrees may be managed by specific functions.
The term "fuzzy logic" was introduced with the 1965 proposal of fuzzy set theory by Lotfi A. Zadeh.[2][3] Fuzzy logic has been applied to many fields, from control theory to artificial intelligence. Fuzzy logics however had been studied since the 1920s as infinite-valued logics notably by Łukasiewicz and Tarski; it is a popular misconception that they were invented by Zadeh.[4]:343

Looking Conflict in the Eye
I am not suggesting that there is some grand virtue in conflict or in pushing against rules; only that deep reform almost invariably entails creating some hard feelings, upending familiar routines, and overcoming established procedures. Superintendents and principals intent on sidestepping conflict while overhauling low-performing schools and systems will prove, at best, tepid agents of change.
Geniality is a good thing, but there is a time for consensus and a time for conflict. Principals and superintendents intent on radically improving schools and systems need to accept and be prepared for a good bit of turbulence.

===> 1. Using Data in Half-Baked Ways <===
I first encountered the inclination to energetically misuse data a few years ago, while giving a presentation to a group of aspiring superintendents. They were passionate, eager to make data-driven decisions and employ research, and committed to leaving no child behind. We had clearly left the old stupid in the rearview mirror. New grounds for concern emerged, however, as we discussed value-added assessment and teacher assignments.

First, educators should be wary of allowing data or research to substitute for good judgment. When presented with persuasive findings or promising new programs, it is still vital to ask the simple questions: What are the presumed benefits of adopting this program or reform? What are the costs? How confident are we that the promised results are replicable? What contextual factors might complicate projections? Data-driven decision making does not simply require good data; it also requires good decisions. Second, schools must actively seek out the kind of data they need as well as the achievement data external stakeholders need. Despite quantum leaps in state assessment systems and continuing investment in longitudinal data systems, school and district leaders are a long way from having the data they require. Creating the conditions for high-performing schools and systems requires operational metrics beyond student achievement. In practice, there is a rarely acknowledged tension between collecting data with an eye toward external accountability (measurement of performance) and doing so for internal management (measurement for performance).

Editor's Note: Ann Cotton is the founder and Executive Director of Camfed International, recognised for its best practice in girls’ education and young women’s leadership. This article was published as part of a debate on International Women's Day...
This article really shows how a girl's education is her ticket to survival, success, and a better quality of life. I know I am guilty of dreading going to school some days and wishing I didn't have classes. But after reading this article, I understand how lucky I am. I have the PRIVILEGE of gaining an education that will forward my life. I know that I will be able to get a job, make an income, and support myself. Unfortunately, others cannot say the same. There are many young girls and women who dream of going to school, but are stuck at home doing domestic work. Cotton makes a powerful statement: "[A girl's] exclusion from the single opportunity that could transform her life ensures that her own future children will be born into poverty." I think this is an important and valid quote. Without education, one cannot move up in the world and has limited means. Therefore, when an uneducated young woman has children, the cycle repeats itself; they cannot escape from their lifestyle and struggles. This is why it is imperative, girls receive an education as well. Because if we do not allow every child to an education, we are causing them to be stuck in a world of poverty, suffering and dependence. Girls are just as important as boys, and have the same ability to succeed in life - we just need to give them a chance.
And for those of us who have the freedom to learn and receive an education, take advantage and learn as much as you can; never take your education for granted because others dream about being in yur shoes.
