Mastering Metro apps: 4 ways they can work for you
PC World It's time to give Windows 8's modern-style apps some respect. Admittedly, some Windows Store apps are inferior to their desktop cousins.

Mastering Modern Apps: 4 Ways They Can Work for You
RACINE A nonprofit fire sprinkler group Tuesday called on the Racine Unified School Board to retrofit Mitchell Elementary School with a complete fire sprinkler system following last weeks fire.
The school, at 2713 Drexel Ave., does not have sprinklers because construction codes do not require it, according to Unified Buildings and Grounds Director Bryan Arnold.
Dan Gengler, a retired fire official who represents the Wisconsin chapter of the National Fire Sprinkler Association, said fire sprinklers should be the top priority in the renovation of the school following the fire.
Now is the time to retrofit a complete fire sprinkler system, as it will save money during this stage of renovation, Gengler said. The School Board should make sure the entire building is safe, with equal fire protection for all occupants.
Arnold said Unified can certainly consider fire sprinklers but right now its way too early to talk about. ... Were still trying to mitigate (damage) and get everything up and running.

By Quaid Najmi Pune, March 4 (IANS): A 31-year old Briton, who was the country's heaviest person three years ago, has shed a whopping 170 kg from 310 kg after undergoing bariatric surgery at a hospital in India and should stabilise at 110 kg, his proud medico said.
"Last week, Zachari Smith reported a 170 kg loss - which is perhaps the highest drop in weight for any patient in the UK and all of Asia. His Body-Mass Index (BMI) is still high but that's compensated by his good health," a beaming Shashank Shah, bariatric surgeon at the Ruby Hall Clinic here, told IANS.
But, barely three-and-a-half years ago, life had become a full-stop for Smith.
Shunned and discarded by all hospitals in Britain and Europe, Smith was reduced to a recluse in his Wales home with no company, no friends and no girlfriends, with only his steadily increasing body all around him, said Shah.
"He was alarmed when as aged around 17, he suddenly started gaining weight and in 10 years climbed to a dizzying 310 kg on the weighing scale," Shah said.
His desperate family tried all sorts of treatment in Britain and in Europe, but owing to the high risks involved in dealing with a person of his obesity, most slammed their doors on Smith.
After repeated internet searches for a cure, Smith learnt of the treatment at the Ruby Hall Clinic and finally spoke with Shah who said: "No problem. We can definitely treat you."
These were the words Smith was craving to hear more than anything else - and despite financial challenges, he decided to travel to Pune in western India. After all, 10 years ago, Shah pioneered the "sleeve gastrectomy" in India and more than 40 patients weighing over 200 kg have already undergone this safely without any post-surgical complaints.
While Smith's problems were on way to ending, the hospital's problems had just begun for the mega-operation in Novemebr 2010 which finally cost around Rs.400,000 ($8,000).
"He travelled business class to Mumbai since it had wider seats. We sent a special vehicle which could take his load and safely bring him to Pune," Shah said.

Big Brother Watch warns that spy planes with thermal imaging cameras used by Harrow Borough Council 'could be considered snooping'
11:10am Wednesday 5th March 2014 in News By Anna Slater
Civil liberties campaigners have warned that using spy planes to search for illegal 'beds in sheds' developments could be seen as "over the top".
Harrow Borough Council spent around 20,000 on the aircraft to detect cannabis factories, homes without proper insulation and so-called 'beds in sheds' - garages or other outbuildings used as flats without authorisation.
Thermal images revealed 319 outbuildings could be being rented out illegally, often to "exploited" immigrants paying reduced rent.
But some have voiced fears the authority could have used the aircraft as a means of snooping on its residents.
Have your say: vote in our poll below.
Nick Pickles, director of civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, said the council should be "fully transparent" about such exercises.
He said: "They need to make sure they do not snoop on people who are not under any suspicion of wrongdoing.
"People have no idea what information is being recorded by these spy planes or the legal framework it falls under. This needs to be urgently addressed by Harrow Council.
