Call it an early Christmas present.
Fourteen brave men and women unwrapped certificates of completion Friday afternoon, as the Niagara County Law Enforcement Academy held its 54th graduation ceremony - its third on the campus of Niagara University - in NU's Castellani Art Museum.
Following an invocation by the Rev. John Gouldrick, C.M., NU's assistant vice president for mission, NCLEA class president Daniel Barrancotta spoke of what led him to pursue a career in law enforcement.
It wasn't necessarily that his father, David, is a lieutenant in the Lockport Police Department. Rather, it resulted from a ride-along that he took part in, specifically a response call to a woman suffering from a panic attack. As the officers assisted the woman, Barrancotta was struck by the helpless expressions of her husband and son. That, Barrancotta said, is when he decided to become an officer of the law.
"At that moment, I fully realized that people call the police when they are in desperate need of help, when they've exhausted all of their options and they don't know what to do," he explained. "This profession is like any other. We run to chaos when everyone else is running away. I wanted to help people."
U.S. Attorney William Hochul Jr. expanded on the concept of heroism during his keynote address, pointing to the responsibility that the graduates will have in preventing tragedies like the one that occurred last week in Newtown, Conn.
"These men and women are about to pledge their oaths, their honors and their careers to make Western New York a better place, and I don't think it's ever been more challenging," said Hochul, a Buffalo native. "Fortunately, this academy has provided them with the tools to protect and serve us. Now, they will move on to a lifetime of service, always wearing the badge with honor, integrity and impeccable honesty."
Following Hochul's speech, NCLEA co-directors Sgt. Jill Herrington and Officer Nicholas Ligammari presented diplomas to:
Daniel Barrancotta, Lockport Police Dept.
Nicholas Conde, pre-employment recruit
Joseph A. Corona, Genesee County Sheriff's Office
Felicia Ann DeGroot, pre-employment recruit
Judith Dolan, Niagara Falls Police Dept.
Ryan J. Dziura, North Tonawanda Police Dept.
Andrew Johnson, Lockport Police Dept.
Chief John Palillo, Attica Police Dept.
Christopher Pino, Niagara County Sheriff's Office
Jason R. Price, pre-employment recruit
Nicholas M. Redenbach, pre-employment recruit
Robert Rougeux, pre-employment recruit
Joel Smith, Niagara Falls Police Dept.
Jeffrey Vorholzer, pre-employment recruit
The NCLEA, Niagara County's only approved training program for law enforcement officers, began holding classes at NU on Feb. 28, 2011, making Niagara the only four-year, private college in New York to host a full-time police academy.
The academy curriculum offers basic courses for police and corrections officers, including firearm instruction, civilian dispatch training, DWI detection, accident investigation, radar operation, TASER use and fingerprinting as well as seminars on developing topics such as homeland security.
Coordination of the program on Niagara's campus is undertaken by the university's Office of Continuing Education and criminal justice department.
Sheriff James R. Voutour briefly interrupted Friday's program to request a standing ovation for Niagara Falls Police Superintendent John R. Chella, who will retire Dec. 28 after 42 years of service.
Dr. Timothy Downs, Niagara's vice president for academic affairs, presented the class's Physical Fitness Award to Corona; the Jeffrey A. Incardona Memorial Award to Pino; and the Joseph E. Steblein Memorial Award to DeGroot. Barrancotta received the Academic, Top Gun and Sgt. Jeff Juron Defensive Tactics awards, but repeatedly referenced the teamwork required to complete the academy's rigorous training program.
"At times, we all excelled and, at times, we all struggled, but we stuck together through it all. I'm so proud of the way we stayed strong," he said.

Vikings Move Up in NFL Power Rankings; Packers Drop
Sports Illustrated's Don Banks has the Vikings moving up to #24 from #28.
After a shaky start last week at home against Jacksonville, Christian Ponder did indeed look like a quarterback who has taken a significant year-two jump, just like the Vikings have been saying all preseason. Not that an overtime win over the Jaguars is a great measuring stick, but with a trip to Indy looming this week, Minnesota has a chance to be among the league's 2-0 crowd. After last year's 3-13 debacle, that'll do for now.
Over at ESPN, Dan Graziano also had the Vikings moving up to #28 from #30. But his praise was muted.
Adrian Peterson's stunning return from injury was one of a few bright spots.
For Green Bay, the rankings were not so kind. At SI, Banks dropped the Packers from the #1 position to #5.
It's not yet time to panic in Titletown, but it will be if the Packers fall to the visiting Bears in the opener of the league's Thursday night showcase. Green Bay would be 0-2 at home, two games behind Chicago, with four of its next five on the road. After starting last season 13-0, the Packers have dropped three of their past five games, including playoffs. But they haven't lost consecutive regular season games started by Aaron Rodgers since Weeks 5-6 of 2010, the franchise's most recent Super Bowl season.
Graziano only drops the Pack to #4 from #1 and questions if the team can rise up to the level of 2011.
Beaten up at home by the 49ers; can they regain last season's 15-1 magic?
- What do you think? Where do you think the Vikings and Packers should rank? Post your comment below or to our Facebook page.

Samson Airline Micro - Compact Wireless Systems
Samson Airline Micro - Compact Wireless Systems
At the risk of sounding fogeyish it never ceases to amaze just how things keep getting smaller and more portable with ever more wireless capability. This can sometimes come at the cost of quality, with compact form factor being the main concern. Not so with the Airline Micro series, offering high grade build quality and pristine sound.
In addition both Airline Micro Camera and Earset systems come with docking stations for recharging and operate on license free frequencies for hassle free operation. Everything you need to get recording can fit in your pocket.
Samson Airline Micro Camera
Having a nice neat package is particularly important when you're filming, not every location and rig will allow you to establish an elaborate microphone setup. The wireless receiver can easily be attached to a camera or DSLR and the lightweight, sleek transmitter wont cause any intrusion or inconvenience.
An omnidirectional lavalier capsule means that placement is simple with a high level of sound quality.
You don't simply have to take our word for all this though and you can hear the Airline Micro Camera for yourself in the video review below.

"Samsung's got to be pretty happy right about now, after learning that the US Patent and Trademark Office has filed an initial ruling declaring Apple's rubber-banding patent invalid, as reported by FOSS Patents. The news was good enough that Samsung decided to share it with friends, that is, if US Federal Judge Lucy Koh can be considered a friend. According to the ruling, which Florian Mueller says isn't final, all 20 claims of Apple's patent (No. 7,469,381) are now invalid, including one that the iPhone maker had leveraged against Samsung in their recent legal showdown. The office found that Apple's invention was either anticipated by prior art (from Lira and Ording) or, in some cases, simply obvious." One down, 93485763827563856 to go.

Yet still the patent was a win for Apple and cost Samsung already serious money. What would be needed right now is to also take actions out of this. Apple needs to pay compensation for all possible damage done by using those invalid patent(s) against competition. Only then it may have an effect otherwise companies continue to ask for patent-protection for trivial things, the overworked patent office grants them and a new weapon is born that can be used with no limits AT LEAST till invalidated and with NO consequences. Just keep on to get more obvious trivial patents granted then invalidated and keep the invalidators busy enough to have enough time left to do serious damage.

Most parties now agree that mass incarceration is NOT the solution to crime in America. The reason being its prison population size is NOT determined by the number of CRIMES committed. So if the crime rate is not the dominant factor, what is? UNJUST racial and class policies are the dominant driving forces behind mass incarceration in the U.S. today. We urge federal prisoners to file for relief under the programs offered.

Information on the whereabouts of a Wall Lake, Ind., woman, missing since September, remains sketchy.
Information on the whereabouts of a Wall Lake, Ind., woman, missing since September, remains sketchy and the reason for her disappearance is so far nil.
Catherine Sackrider, 58, was last seen leaving her daughter's home near Toledo, Ohio, around 7 p.m. Sept. 18 and was thought to be traveling SR 120 toward her home at Wall Lake.
A pickup truck belonging to Sackrider was found in Sylvania, a suburb of Toledo, on Sept. 25.
According to LaGrange County Sheriff's Department Det. Stephanie Mickem, police in Sylvania found Sackrider's vehicle, but could provide no clues about where she was or what may have happened to her.
Although her family suspects she may have been the victim of foul play, Sylvania Township Police Det. Jake Albright said nothing has been found yet to indicate that's the case, but said police are "exploring every avenue."
Albright added that nothing of significance was found in Sackrider's 2003 Chevy Silverado pickup truck.
Mickem said police have no leads and no suspects at this time.
Sackrider is a white female, is 5 feet tall and weighs about 150 pounds.
She has brown hair and brown eyes and wears glasses.
Anyone with information on Sackrider's whereabouts is asked to call the LaGrange County Sheriff's Department, (260) 463-7491, and information will be forwarded to authorities in Ohio.

Q & As
- Why do I need a grading permit?
- When do I need a grading permit?
- When don't I need a grading permit?
- Who should I contact to determine if I need a grading permit?
- How do I get a grading permit?
- Is environmental review required for my project?
- What rules apply to homeowners that live adjacent to canyons?
- What if I don't get a required permit?
- Can grading cause water pollution?
- How do I find out if grading in my community is being performed legally?
Why do I need a grading permit?
Obtaining a grading permit allows the City of San Diego and other agencies to ensure your grading plan complies with the codes, that it is performed safely and that there are no unexpected impacts on the adjacent property or surrounding environment.
When do I need a grading permit?
Per the City's Land Development Code, a permit is needed:
- for homeowners who live on a canyon, and wish to modify the slope.
- if grading is being performed as a condition of a development permit.
- for any activity that disturbs soil or vegetation in environmentally sensitive land.
- for excavation of a hillside with a 25 percent or greater slope, or involves excavation or fill that results in a slope grade of 25 percent or more (4 feet horizontal, 1 foot vertical), and more than 5 feet in depth or height.
- for activity that impacts sensitive resources in the coastal zone (see map C-720).
- if the grading is within privately owned open space easements or City-owned open space.
- for restoring damage caused by illegal grading.
- for grading of any non-environmentally sensitive land of 1 acre or more.
- for grading that changes the existing drainage pattern.
- for fill with more than 5 percent broken concrete, asphalt, masonry or construction debris.
- for fill material with any single piece larger than 12 inches in any direction.
- for grading on a property with a historical resource.
- for geotechnical investigations, well drilling, or agricultural activity on environmentally sensitive lands or on properties with historical resources.
- for grading within a 100-year flood plain.
When don't I need a grading permit?
Exemptions per the Land Development Code include:
- excavation (not fill) under the footprint of a building, retaining wall, or swimming pool, if construction is authorized by a valid building permit and the excavated material is discarded in a legal disposal site.
- gravel pits, mines and other operations covered by Conditional Use Permits.
- grave excavation in permitted cemeteries.
- dirt disposal areas licensed by the City of San Diego, provided the dirt dumped does not interfere with drainage, or increase the stress or otherwise affect neighboring property.
Who should I contact to determine if I need a grading permit?
Make an appointment with the Development Services Department at 1222 First Ave. in downtown San Diego, by calling (619) 446-5300.
How do I get a grading permit?
You need to hire a civil engineer to prepare a grading plan (that includes research of the restrictions on your property), and to assist in completing the permit application. Professional engineers can be found in the Yellow Pages and professional directories. You may also request a Preliminary Review with City staff. This service (for a fee) will provide you and your consultants with information on the regulations with which your project must comply. For more information on this review process, see Information Bulletin 513, available on the internet at www.sandiego.gov/development-services.
Is environmental review required for my project?
You will need an environmental review if you are grading within environmentally sensitive areas including canyons, mesas, slopes, flood plains, coastal zones and hilltops, or within proximity to historical resources such as archeological sites. Most environmentally sensitive areas have been surveyed and identified.
The City may request that you hire a consultant to analyze the property. Contact the City to determine requirements. Make an appointment by calling (619) 446-5300.
What rules apply to homeowners that live adjacent to canyons?
You are not exempt from the City?s grading requirements just because you own the slope or a portion of the slope. Before you build a fence, patio or deck structure, or remove any plants, please check with the Development Services Department to determine if your property is environmentally sensitive.
What if I don't get a required permit?
You will be subject to serious code enforcement actions. Excavation, grading, clearing or grubbing without a permit is a major violation of the San Diego Municipal Code. You could be fined up to $250,000, and/or prosecuted by the City Attorney?s Office. In addition, the City may issue a stop-work action on the project, withhold issuance of current and future development permits and require restoration of the site. Additional fines, penalties and mitigation may also be imposed by state and federal agencies.
Can grading cause water pollution?
Yes, without proper safeguards it can. When you grade, you are responsible for preventing "dirty water" from running off your property. Dirty water includes that which contains sediment, soils and chemicals. Sediment from grading cannot be allowed to wash from the site into the city's storm drain system or any nearby body of water. When your grading permit is issued, the City or the state's Regional Water Quality Control Board may impose conditions. If your project doesn't require a permit, you must still prevent sediment and other pollutants from entering the city storm drain system. Keep your dirt on site.
How do I find out if grading in my community is being performed legally?
For large-scale grading projects, call the Engineering and Capital Projects Field Engineering Division at (858) 627-3200. For residential projects, call the Development Services Department at (619) 446-5000. Staff can check to see if there's a valid permit. If there is not a valid permit, call the Code Enforcement Division at (619) 236-5500.

Radio personality and philanthropist Tom Joyner continued decades-long support of historically black colleges and universities Saturday with a speech for Stillman College's 137th commencement ceremony, mixing comedy, rap lyrics and sound advice for a post-college future.
Radio personality and philanthropist Tom Joyner continued decades-long support of historically black colleges and universities Saturday with a speech for Stillman College's 137th commencement ceremony, mixing comedy, rap lyrics and sound advice for a post-college future.
Following invocations and music from the Stillman bands and choir, President Ernest McNealey introduced a man he said should need no introduction.
McNealey related a story Joyner told about how his community helped instill the virtues of hard work. As a young man, Joyner wanted to get by with as little effort as possible. One day, he delivered only about half the newspapers on his route.
"In the words of our speaker, his father beat the ... out of him," McNealey said.
Joyner went to see a doctor about the bruises.
"When the local physician discovered that he had failed to deliver the papers," McNealey said, "he whipped him too.
"Not only does it take a village to raise a child, in those days it took a village to whip a child as well."
Joyner opened on a light note, but soon delivered some harsh economic news for those about to enter the workforce: "You can still fly, but let's just say your baggage won't fly free."
Joyner, a native of Tuskegee, was speaking before thousands gathered on Stillman's Sheppard Lawn.
"The sort of good news is you're going have to work really hard, and really long, until you see the fruits of your labor," he said.
However, quoting from "that poet and philosopher (rapper) Drake: 'We started from the bottom; now we're here,' " he said, raising a cheer.
Joyner outlined his tips for success after college:
-Find something you love doing, something you'd be willing to do for free. In his early years, Joyner filled in every available slot at the radio stations where he was employed: worked reception, worked night-owl shifts, bought booze for DJs; whatever it took to make people realize he was going to become the hardest-working man in radio.
-Get healthy, if you aren't; stay healthy if you are. Employers are investing more in wellness programs, and they're chiefly looking for employees who have fitness in mind. Raising awareness of health issues, especially among the African-American community, has been a central part of Joyner's public advocacy.
-Learn to do the wobble, the dance craze spun from the single "Wobble" from rapper V.I.C.
-Do not do drugs.
-Register to vote, and vote.
-Get an internship, even if it's volunteer work, in your field.
-Do not text, tweet, Facebook or otherwise send naked pictures of yourself, or of anyone's naked body parts.
-Give back, give back, give back. Financial success doesn't have to arrive first. Alumni can donate time and effort if they don't have money.
-It's OK to move out of your old neighborhood, as long as you go back to get your hair cut, and to inspire children to go to college.
-If you're going to be famous, get all your rings, trophies, certificates, jerseys and whatever out of your mother's house, because she will sell it if you don't buy her a house at least as big as the one you bought your mother-in-law. This one was credited to basketball star Kobe Bryant, who had to get a judge's injunction against his mother to prevent just such a sale.
Veering back to serious territory, Joyner admonished: "Remember: Our ancestors survived and thrived in tougher times than these."
For its 137th commencement, Stillman honored 137 students: 39 with bachelor of arts degrees and 98 with bachelor of science degrees.
Also honored was the golden-reunion class of 1963, and Joyner himself, who received an honorary doctorate in humane letters for his work in health care advocacy and philanthropy, especially with his Tom Joyner Foundation, which has raised more than $65 million to help keep students enrolled in Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
"Anybody need a doctor's note, I'm available," he joked.

Love is in the air! With Valentine's Day falling in the chilly month of February, why not warm the hearts of your loved ones with hot chocolate? Creating a festive hot cocoa bar with marshmallow toppings and treats is easy – both kids & adults will love too! I simply used my vintage bar cart, a tray and filled it with hot cocoa essentials. The heart mugs are my fave!
And who doesn't remember this darling hot cocoa stand?
The hugs & kisses banner was homemade. Starting with red glitter paper purchased at Michaels, I simply cut out the Xs & Os (here's where I found the template). Then I taped each cut out letter to pink and white baker's twine. Super simple. Super cute!

October 23, 2012
It is critical that young lawyers understand early in their careers the relationship between their future success in the profession and their ability to attract and retain clients.
Young lawyers entering the profession today are facing a vastly different workplace than their predecessor generations did. When the baby boomers entered the legal profession, a firm could be considered large if it had more than 100 lawyers. Today, global mega-firms predominate the legal landscape. And where once a summer associate class might consist of a dozen young law students, today's summer classes are larger than many law firms.
Moreover, the pace of law practice today is faster and more stressful than ever before. Technology has made lawyers accessible around the clock, forever altering the rhythm of law practice and allowing firms to impose extraordinary demands on the lives of their young lawyers. Even as the physical and emotional burdens of these demands have yet to be fully understood, the current pace also leaves little time for reflective thinking about one's future career.
But it is exactly that type of reflective thinking that young lawyers must do to understand the relationship between future success in the profession and the ability to attract and retain clients. In the highly competitive legal market that exists today, a young lawyer can no longer assume an opportunity to learn and grow at the arm of a senior mentor. Young lawyers need to be savvy as they navigate their careers in a vastly changing environment.
Here are five recommendations for building the foundation of your business development success.
1. STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE. Be sure to follow the first piece of business development advice all young lawyers receive: Be an excellent lawyer. That is one old-fashioned recommendation that will never be outdated. No matter how charismatic you are, or how vast your network may be, true success in the legal profession starts with excellence in your craftsmanship.
2. LEARN FROM THE SUCCESSES AND THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS. Today's billing pressures have diminished the opportunities to shadow senior lawyers by attending depositions and court hearings. Moreover, clients will not pay the high rates for multiple lawyers to attend a meeting or hearing, and law firms do not encourage young lawyers to observe more experienced lawyers at their work when the time cannot be billed. Nonetheless, there are few better teaching moments than observing a lawyer at trial or negotiating a deal. Look for those opportunities, even if it means making up the time.
3. MAKE NEW FRIENDS AND KEEP THE OLD. Effective business development is really all about relationships. Classmates from law school go on to become clients and sources of referral business. The same is true of your colleagues at work and other friends in the legal profession. Maintain these relationships throughout your career.
4. HELP OTHERS. The simple fact is that effective networking means thinking about ways you can help your classmates, your colleagues and your friends meet their own career goals. Be generous with your own relationships and contacts, and you will build a large reservoir of goodwill for when you need help.
5. WORK WITH ENTHUSIASM. Enthusiasm for one's work is infectious. People enjoy being around those who love what they do. Enjoy your work and share that enthusiasm in a way that lets others know that you are the perfect person to handle their future matters.

Aidan Quinn, who plays Sherlock's liaison with the NYPD, gives his rundown on the popular series.
Contrary to popular belief, one can never have too much Sherlock Holmes. Sure, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary fictional sleuth may seem to be everywhere at the moment - Robert Downey Jr has portrayed him in two films and there's Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC telemovies - but there's always room for another variation.
Especially when that variation transplants the amazingly observant and intuitive detective to New York City, which is the case in new US series Elementary starting on Prime tonight at 8.30pm. Set in the present day, it follows Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller, Trainspotting) - brilliant at deduction, not so great with tact and overcoming a drug addiction - who's been enlisted by the NYPD as a consultant on its toughest cases.
He's aided by Dr Joan Watson (Lucy Liu, Charlie's Angels, Ally McBeal), a former surgeon who has been recruited as the "sober companion" who will ensure Sherlock sticks to the straight and narrow.
The pair's liaison to the police department is Captain Toby Gregson, played by Aidan Quinn. A veteran of stage and screen (perhaps best remembered as Brad Pitt's brother in Legends of the Fall or playing Dez alongside Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan), Quinn plays the character shrewdly and is quietly chuffed to have an investigative ace like Sherlock up his sleeve.
But rest assured, says Quinn, the two will butt heads once in a while when Sherlock inevitably goes one step too far.
Q: What made you want to join the cast of Elementary?
It was very smartly written. I wasn't sure initially if I wanted to commit to a series but I got in touch with the producers and the show's creator, Rob Doherty, and they explained what they were going to do with it, how they were going to do it and how they were going to enrich my character in a really interesting way as the show went along. So there's that, and a phenomenal cast and good writing and I was able to work at home here in New York. As you get into the higher reaches of age, those are all good things.
Q: The fact Gregson isn't as flustered by Holmes as other authority figures have been in other stories is great. It strikes me that any police department would want to make use of someone this smart?
Right, exactly. He's just hoping he can keep Sherlock's lack of social graces from getting him or the police department in too much trouble. Sherlock does get the job done, and that's really all my character cares about. I think underneath there's some unspoken thing between Gregson and Holmes - I think Gregson finds him funny, has a certain kind of affection for him and wants to help him in his recovery. But you'll also see episodes where we really go at it. He really gets under my skin. So, yeah, it's an interesting relationship.
Q: Can you tell us about their background together?
They first crossed paths after September 11 and that's where Gregson first saw how brilliant and wacky he was but primarily he saw how effective he was. And I think the younger Gregson might have enjoyed Sherlock showing up some of the older guys. We don't really know too much yet because the writers may have the idea to go back and explore that one day. But that's kind of the gist. Some of those things will always remain unspoken, some you just leave alone and allow the audience to maybe get what they want out of it. You can't be too specific because you may get a script the following week and it's the opposite of what you came up with.
Q: What do you think is the appeal of the Sherlock Holmes stories and Holmes as a character? Both have shown such staying power.
The original novels - the first of which I first read when we started filming - are really well-written. They're great stories. As for their appeal, I think maybe intuitively we know we only use a tiny proportion of our brains and if we ever could use a bit more we'd be a lot more effective. There are the quirks of the character as well, and with what our creator Rob has done with his sardonic and very bright wit, it's fun to be around that when it's unleashed.
Q: You have a long stage and screen career spanning 30 years or so. What does the ongoing nature of series television allow you to do that other disciplines don't?
Well, honestly, I don't know. This is the first time I've got past 13 episodes with a series. We did 13 episodes of Prime Suspect, I was the lead in another series [The Book of Daniel] that got cancelled after six episodes. The other work I've done on series has been arcs of three or four episodes. Rob has delivered on his promise of expanding my character. But we have 14 million people a week watching us, we've been picked up for a whole season and I'm having great fun working with Jonny Lee and Lucy. So far I'm very happy but we'll see where the journey goes.

Tag: Brett Scallions
New hard rock supergroup World Fire Brigade have signed to FrostByte Media to release their debut album, SPREADING MY WINGS, worldwide on August 28th. World Fire Brigade at its core is veteran songwriting trio Brett Scallions (frontman of Fuel, as well as lead vocalist with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors), Sean Danielsen (lead singer/guitarist of Smile Empty Soul) and Eddie Wohl (producer/mixer for Anthax, Ill Nino, Smile Empty Soul, Jesse Malin, 36 Crazyfists and more). Of SPREADING MY WINGS, Scallions commented, "This is a record filled with all emotions, songs that fall back and forth from major to minor. I love that it's a heavy record with sing-a-long melodies. You don't hear that too much in this style of music." Please see below for the album's track listing.
The members of World Fire Brigade have sold upwards of 10 million albums worldwide between Fuel, Smile Empty Soul and the production work of Eddie Wohl. Originally conceived as a songwriting vehicle for delivering world-class hard rock songs to other artists, World Fire Brigade evolved into its own group when it became clear that their powerful material was meant to be performed by Scallions, Danielsen and Wohl themselves. Ken Schalk (Fuel, Candiria) provides all the drums on SPREADING MY WINGS and the album also features guest appearances by Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, Anthrax's Rob Caggiano, and Andy Andersson (Fuel, Black Robot). World Fire Brigade is: Brett Scallions (vocals), Sean Danielsen (vocals/lead guitar) and Eddie Wohl (keyboards).

WORLD FIRE BRIGADE has sold over 10 million records…between its members. It all started with a veteran songwriting trio:
BRETT SCALLIONS (former front man of the multi-platinum selling band FUEL, & lead vocalist with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors)
SEAN DANIELSEN (Smile Empty Soul lead singer/guitarist) &
EDDIE WOHL (producer/mixer for Anthrax, Ill Nino, Smile Empty Soul, Jesse Malin, Dry Kill Logic, 36 Crazy Fists, and H2O.)
The trio began writing & recording songs with the idea of possibly licensing them out or getting them to other artists, but it evolved into much more when the songs began to smolder.
"It got to the point where we looked at each other and said, 'You know, this is too good to give away'," says Scallions. "We need to do this for ourselves."
After YOGI LONICH (Buck Cherry, Chris Cornell) added some smokin' lead guitar parts, & bass player BRAD STEWART (Shinedown) & drummer KEN SCHALK (Fuel, Candiria) joined the picture, WORLD FIRE BRIGADE became a no holds barred rock n' fuckin' roll band.
"It's much heavier than anything I ever did with Fuel," Scallions says of WORLD FIRE BRIGADE's sound. "We're doing a lot of stuff in lower tones which is a first for me."
And with two front men in the mix, the music is full of strong harmonies & angst driven melodies that perfectly complement the heavy guitar tones. Scallions & Danielsen's voices mesh together beautifully, at times adding a perfect chaos that will make your blood boil and your toes curl.
The recently completed WORLD FIRE BRIGADE debut album will be released in mid/late 2011.

Building small programs with PHP that can load a specified file or resource is an easily-tackled process for many developers with only average experience in the language. However, things can get more complex when trying to add some useful characteristics to these programs, such as recursive file search capabilities and exception handling. This requires a more intimate knowledge of the object paradigm and mastering some features that are only present in PHP 5.
Not all is lost, though, if you're trying to build this kind of file loading application, since this group of articles will guide you through the entire development process in a truly friendly way, using a strong hands-on approach.
Of course, if you've been a patient reader who already went through all of the preceding articles of this series, then you probably have a solid background in how to create some handy file loading programs with PHP 5. In the aforementioned tutorials I discussed their construction, and once the basic concepts were properly covered, I proceeded to implement a few useful features, such as the capacity for including a specified file by means of recursive searches, using a starting file path.
The file loader class developed in the last chapter had a "load()" method that implemented this recursive ability in a truly straightforward fashion. Nevertheless, it's valid to stress here that it's necessary to create an instance of this class to include a determined file, except in those cases where its loading method is called statically.
However, to avoid an eventual (and unnecessary) instantiation of the loader class, it would be helpful to declare the mentioned "load()" method static. Thus, bearing in mind this important concept, in this fifth part of the series I'm going to enhance the signature of the "Loader" class created previously by turning its loading method into a static one.
Want to learn the full details of how this will be accomplished in a few simple steps? Then don't waste more time; start reading now!
{mospagebreak title=Review: recursive file loading program}
In case you still haven't had opportunity to read the last article of the series, where I explained how to build a file loading class with recursive search capabilities, below I've included the class's full source code. Pay close attention to its definition, please:
// define a recursive loader class
class Loader
private $file = ";
private $path = ";
// constructor (not implemented)
public function __construct(){}
// set file to load
public function set_file($file)
$this->file = $file;
// get file to load
public function get_file()
return $this->file;
// set path to load file
public function set_path($path)
$this->path = $path;
// get path to load file
public function get_path()
return $this->path;
// load recursively specified file
public function load($file, $path)
if (file_exists($file))
if (is_dir($path))
if (FALSE !== ($handle = opendir($path)))
// search recursively the specified file
while (FAlSE !== ($dir = readdir($handle)))
if (strpos($dir, '.') === FALSE)
$path .= '/' . $dir;
$file = $path . '/' . $this->file;
$this->load($file, $path);
If you look closely at the above "Loader" class, then you'll realize that apart from its setters and getters, its actual workhorse is its "load()" method. This method is not only is responsible for including a specified file via the "require_once()" PHP function, but performs this task by using a simple recursive algorithm that traverses the proper directories on the web server.
So far, so good. Having quickly reviewed the definition of the file loader class, below I included a couple of examples that show how to include two basic PHP files. That being said, here are the two files to be included:
echo ' This file has been loaded with the Loader class.' . '<br />';
echo 'This file has been loaded at the following time: ' . date('H:i:s');
And here are two examples that demonstrate a concrete usage of the previous "Loader" class, using in each case a different path to look for the targeted files. Here's the first example:
// create instance of Loader class
$loader = new Loader();
// set file to load
// set path of specified file
$loader->set_path($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/folder1);
// try to load specified file
$loader->load($loader->get_file(), $loader->get_path());
// set another file to load
// try to load specified file
$loader->load($loader->get_file(), $loader->get_path());
/* displays the following
This file has been loaded with the Loader class.
This file has been loaded at the following time 10:32:51
Finally, here's the second example, which utilizes a distinct starting path to look for the specified files:
// create instance of Loader class
$loader = new Loader();
// set file to load
// set path of specified file
// try to load specified file
$loader->load($loader->get_file(), $loader->get_path());
// set another file to load
// try to load specified file
$loader->load($loader->get_file(), $loader->get_path());
/* displays the following
This file has been loaded with the Loader class.
This file has been loaded at the following time 10:45:02
Well, I think that the above code samples should give you a clear idea of how the file loader class does its thing. However, as I mentioned in the introduction, it's necessary to spawn an instance of the class to include a targeted file, which in truth can be completely avoided simply by declaring its "load()" method static.
So, based on this concept, in the section to come I'm going to improve the definition of the "Loader()" class by modifying the method discussed before, and incorporating into it a basic error handling mechanism as well.
Now, click on the link below and proceed to read the following segment.
{mospagebreak title=Improving the definition of the Loader class}
As I explained in the segment that you just read, it would be really useful to declare the "load()" method of the previous file loading class static, to make it callable only out of the object's context. To do so, I'm simply going to refine the signature of the class in question, which now will look as follows:
class Loader
// constructor (not implemented)
public function __construct(){}
// load recursively a specified file
public static function load($file, $path)
$filepath = $path . '/' . $file;
if (file_exists($filepath))
if (!is_dir($path))
throw new Exception('The supplied path is invalid!.');
if (FALSE !== ($handle = opendir($path)))
// search recursively the specified file
while (FAlSE !== ($dir = readdir($handle)))
if (strpos($dir, '.') === FALSE)
$path .= '/' . $dir;
self::load($file, $path);
throw new Exception('The specified file was not found!.');
As you can see, not only have setters and getters been removed from the "Loader" class, but as I mentioned before, its "load()" method has been declared static for the reasons given previously. Besides, it's valid to notice another subtle enhancement that has been also introduced in this method: it now will throw a regular exception if the file to be included isn't found across the supplied path.
Definitely, the loader class is now a bit more functional and, best of all, it can be used for including files dynamically without having to deal with an instance of it. So, what's the next step to take? Well, if you're like me, then you'll surely want to see it in action, right?
Therefore, in the final section of this article I'm going to develop another example, which will be aimed at demonstrating how to use the loader class out of the object scope.
To learn the full details of how this concluding example will be created, click on the link below and read the next few lines.
{mospagebreak title=The Loader class in action}
Certainly, the best way to demonstrate how the enhanced version of the "Loader" class works is through a concrete example. Therefore, bearing that concept in mind, below I included an easy-to-grasp code snippet, which uses the static "load()" method of the class to include the two sample PHP files that you saw at the beginning of the article.
Here's the example:
// example of usage of the recursive loader class
// prepare path to search for the specified file
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/path';
// try to load the first specified file
Loader::load('sample_file1.php', $path);
// try to load the second specified file
Loader::load('sample_file2.php', $path);
/* displays the following
This file has been loaded with the Loader class.
This file has been loaded at the following time 22:18:21
That was pretty simple to code and read, wasn't it? As you can see, now the sample files have been successfully included by the above script, without having to spawn an unnecessary instance of the "Loader()" class.
In this particular case, I decided to feed the method with a fictional starting path to look for those files, but as homework for you, I suggest you try using different paths and changing their locations to see how the class behaves in each case. The experience will be pretty instructive, and also fun.
Final thoughts
That's all for the moment. In this fifth installment of the series I explained how to create a small — yet efficient — file loader class, but in this particular case, no instances of it need to be spawned to include a targeted file, thanks to the implementation of a static recursive loading method.
Also, as you may have noticed, the loader class developed so far doesn't use the "__autoload()" magic function included with PHP 5. So, it's time to take advantage of it, don't you think? Therefore, in the upcoming article I'm going to discuss how to build a file loading program using this handy function.
As usual, here's my final suggestion: don't miss the next part!

A new book edited by Suffolk University Professors Erika Gebo and Brenda J. Bond explores a six-year Massachusetts effort to reduce gang and youth violence through the use of a national "best practices" paradigm, the Comprehensive Gang Model.
Looking Beyond Suppression: Community Strategies to Reduce Gang Violence chronicles the successes and challenges of implementing this gang policy – which employs a broad community strategy – in cities across Massachusetts.
"It's messy because each community has to adapt the best practices to its unique environment," said co-editor Gebo. "This book has people in the front lines of the effort joining with researchers to tell what happened in specific communities."
The book tells of realities, such as:
•The realization that gang members and those most at risk for gang membership are often the least served by community agencies
•The problems that arose in a street outreach program when a key community partner had a change in leadership
•The impact of the recession, which in poor neighborhoods translated into a full-fledged economic depression and led to reduced funding of key programs for youth
•The difficulty of setting a definition of "gang" that is recognized within a community – or statewide – and how that affects data collection and analysis
Lowell illustrates the definitional problems that have on-the-ground implications for how police and community agencies do their gang reduction work. Researchers there found that "officers on the street and analysts within the police station can have very different understandings of what is and is not a gang-related incident … [and thus] on how police resources are directed," according to a book chapter co-written by Bond.
The community-academic partnership in Lowell responded to this challenge by taking police data, analyzing it and interviewing people from agencies working with youth so that they could develop standard definitions and systematic data-collection and analysis to be used in addressing retaliatory gang violence.
Intertwining narratives
In bringing together recent narratives from law enforcement, grass-roots agencies, community leaders and collaborating researchers, the book tells the real story about what happened when Massachusetts implemented the Comprehensive Gang Model through the Shannon Community Safety Initiative grant program administered by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.
Involving cities across Massachusetts
The Massachusetts effort partners researchers with community practitioners to examine gang problems and the effectiveness of Comprehensive Gang Model strategies in a first-in-the-nation statewide approach to the problem. The book highlights the initiative in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, New Bedford, Lowell and the Tri-City area of Fitchburg, Leominster and Gardner. Gebo and Bond collaborated with researchers across the state to highlight the important and challenging work in the Commonwealth's urban cities.
"Massachusetts has been a pioneer in funding this work for the past six years," said co-editor Bond. "This work shows how practitioners have shaped strategies to fit specific community environments as they work to reduce gangs and the violence associated with them."
About the editors:
Erika Gebo is an associate professor of Sociology at Suffolk University. She is co-author of a chapter in the book that describes an assessment tool for identifying Springfield youth on the continuum from those at risk for joining gangs to those who are hard-core members.
Brenda J. Bond is an assistant professor in Suffolk University's Sawyer Business School, Institute for Public Service. She works with police leaders across the nation on a variety of policy initiatives. Bond is the co-author of a chapter in the book that describes the problems of tackling retaliatory violence in Lowell.

The way we connect to the internet has changed dramatically over the years, and Symantec Norton One has been created to acknowledge this.
Rather than just a single PC being our portal to the web, we can now log on through multiple devices such as phones, laptops, tablets and even games consoles and TVs. Almost inevitably, as our online behaviour has changed, the threats from hackers and malicious software have also adapted in the face of change.
All of this has thrown up a bit of a conundrum for antivirus companies, as their traditional solution of one product installed on one PC is no longer enough.
While Kaspersky has attempted to solve this problem with Kaspersky ONE Internet Secuity, a package that includes various bits of software for a number of devices, Symantec has gone even further with Norton One.
The big selling point of Norton One is its most interesting innovation, and one that partially explains its high price tag. Symantec has realised that software protection is just a part of the fight against malware - and that helping us with our virus problems doesn't just end with products we've installed on our hard drives.
So what you get in this product is Norton 360 version 6.0, Norton Internet Security 2012, Norton Internet Security for Mac, Norton Mobile Security and 25GB of online storage.
Each of these tools is available on their own, too. So while this package offers a good range of products for the price (with some overlap - Norton 360 version 6.0 includes Norton Internet Security 2012, for example) it is not all that Symantec is offering with Norton One.
Symantec is keen to highlight that the price you pay for Norton One - £100 in the UK and $150 in the US, for a year, for protection for up to five interchangeable devices with the option to add more - is not a subscription, but more of a membership.
This is because customers who purchase Norton One not only get the products mentioned above, but also a personalised experience where customer's individual needs are acknowledged. Rather than just a customer with a number, you're treated as a person with a unique setup. A history of your virus problems is easily at hand for the experts (known as Norton One Advisors) to quickly bring up if you contact them, so they can help easily identify your situation.
Priority support is also given. With priority support included in the membership you should not have to wait any longer than two minutes at any time to speak to an advisor on the phone.
It's an intriguing proposition - Symantec seems to be moving away from the traditional antivirus business model to one more akin to a membership of a roadside assistance company such as the AA or RAC.

LispNYC meeting 8 November 2005 - "The Next Generation of Language Design and why Lisp is Relevant"
Joel Spolsky of "Joel on Software" fame speaks on the next-generation of language design and why Lisp is relevant!
A typical web application today uses five different languages: HTML for content, CSS for design, JavaScript for client-side processing, SQL for database access, and a "back-end" language such as Perl, Java, or Lisp for server-side processing. Joel discusses his vision of a hypothetical new programming language that could accomplish all five of those tasks in a universal syntax such as S-expressions.
Joel is the CEO of Fog Creek Software and the author of several books about software development, management, and business.

MEDTAPP Healthcare Access Initiative funding prepares healthcare professionals to serve Ohio's Medicaid population
ATHENS, Ohio (March 20, 2013)—Ohio University's Health Sciences Center was awarded $813,930 in Medicaid Technical Assistance and Policy Program (MEDTAPP) funds secured by the Ohio Office of Medical Assistance/Ohio Medicaid to support several projects designed to recruit, train and retain healthcare professionals to better serve the needs of Ohio's Medicaid population.
Ohio University was one of three institutions in Ohio to receive funding through the Office of Medical Assistance/Ohio Medicaid in Phase 1-Round 2 of the MEDTAPP Healthcare Access (HCA) Initiative.
The projects, managed by faculty and staff in the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and College of Health Sciences and Professions (both part of the Health Sciences Center), support training in the areas of nursing, primary care, integrated mind-body care and interdisciplinary health care work. The following activities are currently funded under the MEDTAPP Healthcare Access Initiative:
• The Interprofessional Health Teams Initiative supports 56 students in six disciplines (medicine, nursing, nutrition, physical therapy, speech-language pathology and social work) who are participating in a curriculum that promotes team-based medical care. The content modules, as well as much of the team interactions, are performed virtually. Students will be able to apply these skills via experiential learning at two separate Laurels Healthcare sites. The project stems from combined efforts of an Ohio University 1804 Fund award to John McCarthy of the College of Health Sciences and Professions and the Clinical Integration Committee, chaired by Jeffrey DiGiovanni, whose membership comprises faculty from the College of Health Sciences and Professions and the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
• The Integrated Mind-Body Medicine Program is a specialized residency training program that focuses on mind-body health in primary care. The training is designed to enhance a healthcare provider's capacity to deal with chronic stress, in an effort to improve job satisfaction and the retention of physicians serving rural, Medicaid and low-income residents. The program is led by Joseph Bianco and physician Tracy Marx, D.O., of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
• The MEDTAPP Scholars program is designed to recruit and retain primary care practitioners to care for those on Medicaid in underserved rural Appalachia, as well as to establish practices that serve as training sites for future physicians and nurse practitioner students. The program will focus on practitioners new to practice, just out of residency or new to practicing in a Medicaid-rich rural underserved area in Appalachian Ohio. Training sites will include several local nursing homes, an Express Care clinic and Appalachian Behavioral Health, an area psychiatric hospital. The program is led by physician Tracy Marx, D.O., of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
• The Primary Care Scholarship Program incentivizes fourth-year medical students in the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine to choose residencies in primary care in high-need Medicaid areas. The program, which provides 12 tuition stipends of $15,000, intends to increase the number of students choosing primary care to serve the Ohio Medicaid population. Primary care is often not an attractive choice financially for students who have a heavy debt load upon graduating from medical school, said project leader Sharon Zimmerman of the university's Health Sciences Center. The Osteopathic Heritage Foundation provides match funding for this program. Upon graduation, these selected students will spend a minimum of one year practicing at a high-volume Medicaid site in Ohio.
The following project is participating in the MEDTAPP Healthcare Access Initiative, but is not using MEDTAPP funding to support related activities:
• The FNP + DNP = 1 + 1 Year Residency Program links master's prepared nurse practitioners to a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) residency through employment and training at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and rural health clinics. The project is managed by Teresa Julian in the School of Nursing at the College of Health Sciences and Professions.
Northeast Ohio Medical University and Cleveland State University also received funding during the recent round of MEDTAPP HCA funding. These three newly funded institutions' projects will foster training of approximately 500 additional medical professionals to better serve the Medicaid population.

Science: Wrong People Sometimes Win Arguments
The New York Times has a shocking story about new developments in social science: Apparently, our faculty for reason evolved not as a tool for enlightenment and pursuit of truth, but as a way to get people to do what we want. This changes everything. I'm rethinking the whole debate over invading Iraq, and I feel sick.
For centuries thinkers have assumed that the uniquely human capacity for reasoning has existed to let people reach beyond mere perception and reflex in the search for truth....
Now some researchers are suggesting that reason evolved for a completely different purpose: to win arguments. Rationality, by this yardstick (and irrationality too, but we'll get to that) is nothing more or less than a servant of the hard-wired compulsion to triumph in the debating arena. According to this view, bias, lack of logic and other supposed flaws that pollute the stream of reason are instead social adaptations that enable one group to persuade (and defeat) another. Certitude works, however sharply it may depart from the truth.
The implications of this discovery are truly astounding. Next time you fight with your spouse or significant other, please keep in mind for your own safety that he or she might have an agenda other than the discovery of higher truths, and may be using "logic" to advance this agenda.

Gioteck asks, will the next Xbox be marketed as a games console?
Should have been otherwise?
Kinda funny that they have to specify that it plays games XD
It will be marketed as an entertainment device and games are a form on entertainment.
Will it be so hard if for the last 5 years or so Microsoft has blatantly gone the rout of wanting to be your entertainment device. Even going so far as getting it's own tv model off the ground. Turning it into a tuner.
They will market it as a game console that does all these other things they've been building toward. Not hard to keep up with that.

Toronto FC announced Monday the club acquired a conditional second round pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft from FC Dallas in exchange for Designated Player and Forward Eric Hassli.
"Eric requested a move for family related reasons and we committed to him we would make every effort to do so, providing the deal was favourable for the team," said Toronto FC President and General Manager Kevin Payne. "We are satisfied with the terms of the trade. If Eric has a productive year for Dallas the consideration paid to us will be greater."
Payne added "The most important aspect of this deal is creating salary cap room and a designated player spot. We'd like to thank Eric for his contributions to our club and wish him all the best with his new team."
Hassli, 31, was acquired from the Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 20, 2012 and made eight appearances, scoring three goals and adding two assists in all competitions for Toronto FC.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake announced today that it has acquired DF Brandon McDonald from D.C. United in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft and a conditional pick in 2015.
McDonald joins Real Salt Lake after spending the last two years with D.C., where he made 63 regular season appearances, 62 starts, scored three goals and registered five assists. The 27-year-old McDonald has 137 career regular season appearances, 126 starts, seven goals and nine assists in five plus seasons in MLS.
A Phoenix native, McDonald grew up playing youth soccer with RSL FW Robbie Findley and spent over a year as Claret-and-Cobalt MF Khari Stephenson's roommate while both played with the San Jose Earthquakes. He comes to Real Salt Lake with fellow center backs Kwame Watson-Siriboe, Chris Schuler and Carlos Salcedo all currently out injured, with Watson-Siriboe out for the year with an ACL tear.
"With the injuries we have had to our center backs we felt it was important to add a talented experienced center back and we got that with Brandon," Real Salt Lake General Manager Garth Lagerwey said. "We expect him to be a good fit for us both on and off the field as we continue to try and improve our team."
In order to make room for McDonald on the roster, Real Salt Lake has moved DF Rich Balchan to the Disabled List. Balchan hasn't played since undergoing shoulder surgery in May.
McDonald will be available for selection on Saturday, when RSL will host Eastern Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City at 8:00 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium. Tickets to the match – which will be followed a postgame fireworks display in celebration of Pioneer Day – can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.

Do you want to workout more but don't know what exercises to do? Are you unsure of how hard or how long to workout? Have health issues and don't know how to workout safely? No matter what the issue, there is a simple answer to all these problems: fitness devices. From trackers to heart rate monitors, there is a fitness device for everyone.
They can take your workout to the next level, safely and effectively, you just need to find the one that's right for you. That's what this site is all about. We're here to educate and inspire you with our Introduction to Health Fitness Gadgets. We'll go over the different types of gadgets and explain how they work and why you need them- all in the name of getting you on the road to a better you.
Table of Contents
The Road to A Healthier Lifestyle Checklist
Becoming healthier, whether it's for personal or medical reasons, requires commitment and focus. A good device can help you with all that and also monitor how your body responds to your workouts. Before we get in to what the various devices are, let's run down what you need to do and know before starting any routine. This checklist will help you determine what you need and want:
• Consult a Physician: Before starting any type of exercise routine you need to speak with your doctor. Your doctor can determine what activities are safe for you if you have any medical conditions, like diabetes, muscle aches or heart conditions.
Your doctor can also tell you if you need to keep an eye on your blood pressure, body temperature or anything else while working out, which will factor into the devices you use.
• Know Your Exercise Profile: Do you need someone pushing you to stay on track or can you motivate yourself? Like having a workout partner or do you prefer long, solitary runs? Your workout style will determine the gadget you choose. For instance, if you need to work out, but don't enjoy it then a tracker with silent alerts and coaching tips would be a good idea.
• Set Goals: It's important to think about what you want from your exercise regime. Are you trying to lose weight, getting older and need to strengthen your muscles or do you just want to be healthier. What you hope to gain plays a vital role in the tools you need.
Fitness Gadgets at a GlanceNow that you have your checklist, lets take a look at some of the fitness devices available and what they can do:
Fitness & Activity Trackers: Of all the fitness devices on the market, trackers are the most versatile and widely used. A tracker is a wearable device that "tracks" or monitors various body functions. All trackers monitor calories burned, steps taken and distance traveled, making them a good fit for anyone looking to lose weight. Most also can sync to your phones or PC, allowing you to analyze data and even give you exercise suggestions.
There are several fitness tracker models that can do a lot more, like monitor heart-rate, sleep cycles and even monitor location through GPS. This allows for a wider range of workout activities and also is useful for those with medical concerns. Let's look at the benefits of a tracker:
• Convenient: trackers can be worn around the clock, so you can put it on and forget about it. It also means you can see your progress all day, every day- a great motivator.
• Easy to Use: these devices are simple to use and need minimal input from you. No logging in all the time or typing in information. Just set your goals and get moving on the best Fitbits. This makes them great for young and old people alike.
• Improve Quality of Exercise: from built-in coaching apps to idle alerts that tell you if you've been sitting too long, trackers can motivate and shape you exercise regimen for the better.
Heart-Rate Monitors: Your Heart Best Friend
For those who aren't counting calories, want to maximize their routine or are exercising for medical reasons, a simple heart monitor is a great idea. Heart monitors are simple to use and are usually worn on a strap that goes around your chest under your clothes. These monitors give you stats in real time, so you can see your heart-rate as you exercise.
Heart-rate monitors can help you by:
• Tracking your beats per second and alerting you of any irregularities.
• Syncing to your devices to analyze your heart health.
• Analyzing how hard your heart is working and suggest exercises accordingly.
• seeing your heart-rate can help you speed up or slowdown in real time, for maximum results.
Blood Pressure Monitors – Say Goodbye to High Blood Pressure
If you want to work out but are worried about your health, you could invest in a blood pressure monitor. These devices can be worn on your wrist and offer you a safe way to work out by telling you not only your blood pressure, but how it compares to national guidelines.
Among the benefits of using a blood pressure monitor are:
• They discreetly and quietly take your blood pressure, so if you take an aerobics class no one will know.
• Automatically inflates for continuous monitoring.
• Can also alert you to irregular heartbeats, so you can work out without fear.
Pairing Your Fitness Gadgets with Your Exercise Style
Now that you are familiar with these devices, all you need to do is choose from the various workouts for women that are available. From strength training to cardio exercise, there are endless possibilities when deciding on a routine. Keep in mind that the type of exercise you do will determine the fitness gadget. For example, if you have high blood pressure a pressure monitor is better than a tracker, especially during cardio.
Also bear in mind that you can switch devices and don't have to stick with any set routine. For instance, if you use a fitness tracker, it can suggest cycling, swimming or cardio exercises, and switch them up each day. The point is these devices are meant to enhance, not hinder your experience, so use them the right way and I guarantee you will become stronger, healthier and happier.

QUEENS — A spicy hot workout with roots in India is winning over fans in Queens.
Masala Bhangra — which combines traditional Indian dance with the exhilaration of Bollywood — has recently been introduced at a Forest Hills yoga studio.
"Not only can you have a good time, but you use every single muscle in your body and lose 500 to 700 calories a class," said Liana Berman, 34, a recreational director at an assisted living facility who came to the class at BambooMoves on Queens Boulevard for the first time last week. "Can you beat that?"
"Masala" means spicy, and "bhangra" is a dance form from the Punjab region of India, the instructor, Vivian Fulton, explained at the beginning of the class.
The workout was created more than a decade ago by Sarina Jain, who is often called the "Jane Fonda of India."
Now, it has followers around the world, from Japan to Europe. There are more than 500 certified instructors — called Masala Bhangra ambassadors — who teach the workout.
The cardio-fitness dance class, Fulton said, involves a combination of bhangra, "which is a very strong male folk dance," and "a lot of flirtation and the fun" of Bollywood.
The class is exhilarating, heart-pounding and rhythmic, Fulton said.
Participants dance dynamically around the room, flirtatiously twisting their arms and shaking their heads. Every now and then the group screams enthusiastically "balle balle, " which is a Punjabi expression used to describe a feeling of happiness.
"It's like a belly dance on steroids," joked Suzanne Scholten, the owner of BambooMoves.
On average, the workout burns more than 500 calories.
The class is open for both men and women, but only women came to the recent workout in Forest Hills.
"It's a community of women, getting together and having fun," said Lynn Negron, a belly dance instructor who is now learning Masala Bhangra. "You are powerful, beautiful… and it's such a different environment from what you get at the gym."
The class is also offered at other venues in Queens, including the Long Island City YMCA.
A single class at BambooMoves costs $20. The studio is located at 107-40 Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, Suite 206.

The touchscreens that push back, thanks to Brit hi-fi boffinry
NXT's rise, fall and rise from helicopters to fondleslabs
Touch me, please
HiWave has managed to solve the bass issue by developing and supplying their own amplifier chips and applying their transducers to harder materials such as Corning's Gorilla Glass, which graces the front of every device worth its salt these days.
A pair of HiWave transducers can turn a window into a speaker, but they have the same effect on a tablet screen and the engineers managed to work around the previous requirement of mounting the screen on a foam base - which was never going to fly with modern tablets.
Now a HiWave speaker can be integrated into the glass front of a fondleslab as long as HiWave gets to specify the glue used to attach it. Considering how much space speakers take up, including the audio cavity necessary to get decent sound, there should be a considerable interest in embedding the technology even if the company still needs to get the transducers a little smaller.
By only firing one of a pair HiWave can replace the phone's talking speaker too
But once they're there the vibrational effect of the transducers could, potentially, make the concept of haptic feedback into a useful reality.
HiWave has created a demonstration block which senses not only touch but also pressure. With that flexibility it's able to pose as a physical switch: rest a finger and nothing happens, press harder and at a specific pressure the button "clicks", relax and the button "clicks" again.
Sound and vibration are delivered direct to and from the screen, rather than the device, making the experience disarmingly unbelievable (the HiWave chaps had to disconnect the power before we'd believe there wasn't a mechanical switch hiding somewhere).
The technology cracks haptic feedback, no question. If anyone wants to recreate the sensation of pressing a mechanical switch on a touch screen then this is the technology which can do it: now the question is if anyone wants to do that, and if they're prepared to add pressure sensitivity to make it happen.
HiWave can do more than just ape a mechanical switch, though that's the most impressive demonstration, but all the coolest stuff requires pressure sensitivity which isn't available on the current generation of capacitance-detecting touch screens.
The company reckons that in-vehicle applications aren't so attached to capacitive screens, so they could sell there, but it also claims to have come up with a killer application which will drive adoption of pressure sensitivity, and thus enable them to sell haptic gear. Sadly the company won't say what that is until the patents are drafted, so we're asked to trust that it is as compelling as the company claims.
Twenty years ago NXT was a really cool technology with huge potential, desired by early adopters who confidently predicted great things for the company. Now it's 2012 and the technology is still really cool, the potential is still huge, but it remains far from clear if HiWave will be able to make it happen in the way that NXT has failed to do. ®

Most everyone seems to agree that the HTC One is the best smartphone money can buy. But what if you could buy it with half as much money? Tomorrow, Amazon will host a one-day Father's Day HTC One sale, cuting the price of the device to a mere $79.99 (if you're willing to sign a new contract with Sprint or AT&T). Those looking to renew their plans with either of the carriers are treated to a $99.99 price – half of what you'd pay if you walked into a Sprint or AT&T store to purchase the phone.
If the HTC One is not your cup of tea, there's always the Samsung Galaxy S4, which is listed on Amazon with a $168 price tag.
AT&T HTC One (New AT&T Customers: $79.99, Upgrading Customers: $99.99)
Sprint HTC One (New Sprint Customers: $79.99, Upgrading Customers: $99.99)
