Its in the GPS Shoes … Gimmick … or Effective GPS Gadget?

Quantum Satellite Technology and the brain child of Isaac Daniel will be putting out next month a line of adult GPS shoes ranging in price from $325 to $350. A children’s line will be offered this summer. The purpose of the shoe is to locate the wearer;  “It promises to locate the wearer anywhere in the world with the press of a button”. A question arises, what happens if the wearer can’t push the button?

It’s the latest implementation of satellite-based navigation into everyday life – technology that can be found in everything from cell phones that help keep kids away from sexual predators to fitness watches that track heart rate and distance. Shoes aren’t as easy to lose, unlike phones, watches and bracelets.

The sneakers work when the wearer presses a button on the shoe to activate the GPS. A wireless alert detailing the location is sent to a 24-hour monitoring service that costs an additional $19.95 a month. (AP)

They claim that the shoe is not meant for “non-emergencies.”

… like to find out if a teen is really at the library or a spouse is really on a business trip. If authorities are called and it is not an emergency, the wearer will incur all law enforcement costs, Daniel said.

In theory, this is a great idea. Any idea to keep children safe or find missing children or adults. However, with this type of technology out there wouldn’t the sexual predators know it exists too? I could see the very first thing a sexual predator does is takes a child’s shoes off and throws them in the garbage or along the road side. A micro-chip on or in any article of clothing can be rendered useless by removing the article of clothing. The criminal mind knows these things.

State Senator: No More Walking and Talking (and listening) in New York

Ipod_New_york_streetsA state senator in New York is proposing a ban on talking on a cell phone or listening to an ipod in Buffalo or New York City if you are walking on the street. I used to live in Manhattan and I have to tell you, the streets are not a social place. If you stop and say hello to someone you do not know, odds are you will get maced before you will get a reply. With the advent of cell phones and ipods, New Yorkers could add another insulating layer from those around them.

Now a Brooklyn state senator is asking to treat listening to an ipod or talking on a cell phone as a crime? Fo Getta Bout It. You would have a better chance of getting these people to smile at a stranger. The intelligencia will rise up as if you were asking to raise the price of a latte at Starbucks.

The ipod is popular in New York because these very same people who desperately want to live in the Big Apple also want to tone it out. This Brooklyn state senator will learn that quickly.

Brain Calisthenics – The Next Big Thing

As the baby boomers age, they are fearful of the brain going soft so to speak. A new trend has just started gaining traction that focuses on the keeping the brain active and vibrant with tools and tricks.

BrainageFrom “brain gyms” on the Internet to “brain-healthy” foods and activities at assisted living centers, the programs are aimed at baby boomers anxious about entering their golden years and at their parents trying to stave off memory loss or dementia.

This is going to be one of the hottest topics in the next five years — it’s going to be huge,” said Nancy Ceridwyn, co-director of special projects for the American Society on Aging. “The challenge we have is it’s going to be a lot like the anti-aging industry: how much science is there behind this?” Read the rest at the  New York Times.

The Nintendo DS has a game out called Brain Age that we got for my son. It is full of short fun games that make the brain focus and is purported to activate the frontal lobe. I do not know how effective it is, but is can be lots of fun to play for my son and his parents.

Have Scientists Found a Cure For Diabetes?

Diabetes_testingIf the news is true, a new cure for diabetes may be in the works. Scientist in a Toronto hospital have discovered a cure for diabetes in mice that cures them almost overnight.  If this can be translated to humans, the millions who suffer from diabetes may have a chance to recover and not have the intrusion that diabetes causes in their daily lives.

“I couldn’t believe it,” said Dr. Michael Salter, a pain expert at the Hospital for Sick Children and one of the scientists. “Mice with diabetes suddenly didn’t have diabetes any more.”
The researchers caution they have yet to confirm their findings in people, but say they expect results from human studies within a year or so. Any treatment that may emerge to help at least some patients would likely be years away from hitting the market.
But the excitement of the team from Sick Kids, whose work is being published today in the journal Cell, is almost palpable.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Dr. Hans Michael Dosch, an immunologist at the hospital and a leader of the studies. “In my career, this is unique.”
