And I don’t just mean that they’ve got cool new backpacks and killer sneakers to show off to their friends, I mean that you and your family are leveraging all the latest technology to make the next school year a safer and more organized one.While it might feel like summer has just begun, that doesn’t mean it’s too soon to start getting ready. Here are three awesome pieces of tech your family needs to have set-up and be ready to use before this fall rolls around.<b>1. Shared Calendars</b>Once school starts, everyone’s schedules go nuts. You’re trying to figure out which parent is picking up which child, while balancing soccer practice and art class at the same time. As parents, you’re also trying to manage a chore regimen, schedule doctor’s appointments, make sure the pet gets to the vet on time, and you’re expected to do all of that efficiently without double booking anyone’s time.Setting up an online shared calendar with your family is the perfect solution. That way the kids can log in and see their own schedules, so they’ll know when they’ve forgotten to clean the upstairs bathroom. For mom and dad, the transportation regimen is easily accessible so no child is left behind.Plus, by taking advantage of the ability to access and update calendars from smartphones, everyone will always have the most up-to-date version of the family schedule no matter where they are. <b>2. Laptops</b>Kids today might be demanding smartphones and tablet computers, but those devices are not what they need to succeed in school. For junior high-age children and above, I recommend that every student have a laptop so they can do their schoolwork …","rssText":null,"sourceURL":"http://www.marioarmstrong.com/2013/07/10/the-must-have-tech-for-back-to-school/","feedTitle":"Mario Armstrong","feedUrl":"http://www.marioarmstrong.com/feed/","hideOnCover":true,"inlineImage":{"mediumURL":"http://www.marioarmstrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Fotolia_53430659_XS.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/marioarmstrong.com/c0537c42965977420cc401a11059fe3a6f5c244e/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":283,"original_height":424,"original_hints":"bounds-11-14-226-410,color,graphic,light,rgb-178-201-212,,main-image,main-image"},"language":"en","rssBaseURL":"http://www.marioarmstrong.com/2013/07/10/the-must-have-tech-for-back-to-school/","rssCustomClasses":"sysen","authorDisplayName":"Mario Armstrong","referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"Mario Armstrong","authorUsername":"marioarmstrong","userid":"49474510","authorDescription":"TV host!

And Ceop warned that sex offenders were targeting families and children in areas with extreme poverty, rising levels of access to the internet and poor child protection policies.<p>The centre also raised concerns about the use of the so-called hidden internet – heavily encrypted forums and pages that allow abusers to cover their tracks.<p>UK daily users connecting to secret or encrypted networks increased by two thirds, one of the largest annual increases globally, the report said, with 20,000 daily UK users of such networks expected by the end of this year, although not all would do so for criminal means.<p>An NSPCC spokeswoman said: \"The evidence the NSPCC has gathered from all police forces in England and Wales shows there are around 20,000 sexual offences against children reported every year and many of the victims are under primary-school age.<p>\"However, we believe this is far from the true situation as many cases are never revealed. And since the Savile sex crimes were revealed, our helpline has experienced an increase in the number of adults reporting cases which happened many years, even decades, earlier.\"<p>The policing and criminal justice minister, Damian Green, said: \"These figures are deeply troubling and show how our understanding of child sexual exploitation has greatly improved in recent years.

[Buzzfeed's Peter Lauria]<br>• Talk of mergers stirs cable players. [The New York Times' Michael J. De La Merced and Brian Stelter]<p>And they both pointed to one thing — John Malone, the original cable cowboy, is back. For those who don’t know him, Malone took a hodgepodge of cable companies, rolled them up into TCI and flipped that to AT&T. Later, Comcast bought that business and became a national player. Malone laughed all the way to the bank. Later he started building a cable business in Europe (Liberty Global) and has done well with his European diversification.<p>But now he wants to go shopping in the U.S. again. According to these two stories, the following scenarios could play out:<p>John Malone’s Liberty Media is thinking about buying Time Warner Cable via Charter Communications. Charter is the fourth largest cable player in the U.S. and Malone already owns 27 percent of Charter. Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei recently met with Time Warner CEO Glenn Britt. The talks aren’t going anywhere.<br>• Time Warner Cable, on its own, has talked to Cablevision and Cox Cable about merging with these entities.<p>You would think that Liberty and Time Warner Cable are trying to build a mega-cable provider so they can compete with Comcast, currently the largest cable provider in the United States. And you would be totally wrong.<p>The reality is that cable companies don’t really compete with each other. They have their own territories — you know, like the Mafia families in <i>The Godfather</i> — and they don’t muck about each other. Their supposed competition are phone & satellite companies. Of course, when it comes to the old-fashioned (linear) video, these guys are competitors.<p>But the future isn’t about linear, old-styled video. Instead, it is about broadband and broadband-enabled video. The cable companies — at least in the U.S. — have the fastest pipes into majority of homes. They are faster than phone companies and have a deeper footprint. The new technologies are ensuring that they can keep increasing the speed of their broadband networks.<p>Netflix, Hulu and YouTube are programming our video watching behavior — any amount of video, anytime, anywhere on any screen, as long as there is broadband.

The vast majority of the 7 million people who get them annually are in the U.S. and Europe.<p>One big reason is cost. On average, a set of hearing aids rings up a tab of about $4,000. Most insurance policies don't cover them.<p>A company called Sound World Solutions is trying to do something about the limited reach of hearing aids by creating a high-quality hearing device that costs less than a tenth the normal price.<p>Stavros Basseas is showing me around his development lab and hearing clinic in a strip mall in suburban Chicago. Basseas began as an electrical engineer in the hearing aid industry, but working with patients directly in this small clinic helped him understand their needs more deeply.<p>\"It was not just an engineering project anymore,\" he says. \"It had a human face.\" Basseas says when people came to him for help he had a chance to talk to them about the effects of hearing loss, especially the social isolation most people experience.<p>But when they put on a new hearing device, Basseas says patients react right away. \"Sometimes they cry, because it was like talking to their heart, because they know what is happening,\" he says.<p>Wayne Jagusch, one of Basseas' patients, knows the feeling. \"It's terrible when you're with people and you can't understand what they're saying,\" he says. \"You sit there and smile like an idiot and nod your head, and you don't know whether they're saying something good or bad.\"<p>Years ago, Basseas fitted Jagusch with top-quality hearing aids that cost thousands of dollars. He brought them in for adjustment on the day I visited. But Basseas also recently gave Jagusch a prototype of the $300 device the company has developed. Jagusch likes it.<p>\"This is the best I've had so far, and I've gone through a bunch of different devices,\" Jagusch says. \"I like the adjustability of it.\"<p>Besides cost, one of the big hurdles to the use of hearing aids is the number of visits required to get the devices adjusted properly. Sound World Solutions addresses that problem by making its device adjustable through a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone.<p>The app first gives the user a hearing test using an earpiece that looks like a small Bluetooth phone receiver. Then the app sets the device to compensate for your hearing loss.

Also, the deal isn't available online -- customers have to go to Best Buy's retail stores.<p>The tech retailer did the exact same iPhone trade-in program on June 1 and apparently it was successful.

Having the proper resources can make all the difference between a suicide attempt and seeking professional help.<p>Kudos, Apple, for making yet another apparent attempt to use technology to benefit lives.","sourceURL":"http://www.mactrast.com/2013/06/siri-steps-up-response-to-possible-suicide-references/","allowFullscreenImage":true,"hideOnCover":true,"inlineImage":{"largeURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/mactrast.com/6e529c40b721b8f6e46640fd451125c16e7a7126/original.jpg","mediumURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/mactrast.com/6e529c40b721b8f6e46640fd451125c16e7a7126/medium.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/mactrast.com/6e529c40b721b8f6e46640fd451125c16e7a7126/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":640,"original_height":1136,"original_hints":"color,graphic,rgb-76-86-91"},"readButtonCaption":"Read Article","sourceMagazineURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipmag?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.flipboard.com%2Fmactrast.com%2Fe9ce39d4252d2be086255a9a5989cbce50f020cc%2Fe070e0cdb80990ee9765cc8a561348887f84f3bc%2Farticle.html&partner=rss-mactrast&tml§ion=flipboard%2Fcurator%252Fmagazine%252FEfwle09SR8OB3fkbMlcKKw%253Am%253A49474510&fallbackTml","language":"en","article":{"sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FEfwle09SR8OB3fkbMlcKKw%3Am%3A49474510","partnerID":"rss-mactrast","url":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/mactrast.com/e9ce39d4252d2be086255a9a5989cbce50f020cc/e070e0cdb80990ee9765cc8a561348887f84f3bc/article.html"},"authorDisplayName":"J.
