This year, voters in 31 of the nation’s 100 largest cities will choose a mayor in municipal elections that historically don’t garner the same numbers in terms of voter turnout as presidential elections.But the makers of a new smartphone voting app think they can make it easier for people to vote. This week, Denver became only the second place in the country to ever allow voting by smart phone.It’s called Voatz. Yes, a weird spelling, but it’s a straightforward concept: it’s an app for voting. “To get through verification, they have to take a ten second selfie video,” said Jocelyn Bucaro of Denver’s elections division, who says the app utilizes an individual’s biometric data—like face recogmition or thumbprint technology. “They have to look at the camera, they have to blink, move their head, so that the system knows it’s not a video of a photo," she said. Bucaro thinks that one day, this will be how we’ll all cast our ballots.“If we want to maintain a democratic system and have as many people participating as possible then some form of this will likely be available for all voters," Bucaro said.Right now, it’s just available for active duty military stationed overseas. But there’s a reason for that. Currently service members have to print, sign, scan, then email the document to election officials.Former FBI cybersecurity expert Andre McGregor said that made them the perfect group to pilot the technology.“When you compare it to the current, everything is better than a PDF sent via email, even fax is better than that,” McGregor said.McGregor is talking about the obvious concern with a voting system like this: security, something he says he was concerned about at first, too.“I had just as many skeptical thoughts as most other people thinking about the idea of voting on a device that’s in your hand.”McGregor looked into the potential pitfalls of the app before it went live with West Virginia’s military voters last year, and the app, which uses block chain technology, exceeded his expectations.He says trying it out on small groups is a good way to make sure it’s ready to go mainstream; disabled voters might be next to try it. 2168

TUCSON, Ariz. – A Vietnam veteran in Arizona and his new adopted dog have something in common – they both know what it’s like to live with a disability. Late last year, Athena the dog was at Southern Oasis Labrador Rescue in Tuscon, Arizona, while the rehab team developed a prosthetic leg for her, which gained attention in the media.When her story caught the eyes of veteran David Powell and his wife Margaret, they fell in love.According to Ann Herrington with thetucsondog.com, David and Margaret lost their dog a few years ago and were looking for a new one to adopt in November of last year."When she became available for adoption, they did just that. Upon becoming a family, the three of them formed an immediate symbiotic bond," the website's press release said.David, who is disabled due to Agent Orange exposure during his deployment, donates his time to helping other veterans. Now that he has Athena, he shares the story of how they met at national engagements.Margaret, who works with therapy dogs, has big plans for Athena. She is in the process of taking her through obedience school and therapy dog training.“Athena brings joy to people she meets. There’s something innate in her, bringing happiness to people when they are down,” Margaret told The Tucson Dog magazine.David and Athena will share their full story at the upcoming WOOFstock & Adopt-a-thon at Reid Park Sunday, March 4, at 1:30 p.m. Other dogs will also be on-site to adopt.

A press release from TheTusconDog.com provided the inaccurate information. 1691

There's been an increase in sales of bullet-resistant backpacks for children, in the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton last weekend.American companies selling the items say they're catering to heightened demand from parents during the back-to-school shopping season.But critics argue they are using tragedy as a marketing opportunity and exploiting parents' worst fears.Safety is high on the minds of many parents, especially after the El Paso and Dayton, Ohio shootings that left 31 people dead."We've definitely seen a spike over the past week or so in sales and that could be attributed to back to school but it could be attributed to some of the national events that are happening as well, "said Yasir Sheikh, founder and president of Skyline USA.His company makes Guard Dog Security products like pepper spray and stun gun,s and started offering bullet-resistant backpacks called ProShield Scout for children last year.Steve Naremore founded Houston-based TuffyPacks in late 2015 after his daughter, a fourth-grade teacher, told him about the frequency of active shooting drills for her students.His company produces some bullet-resistant backpacks but the bulk of his business is in removable ballistic shields that are inserted in backpacks.Naremore says his backpacks could be the difference between suffering "lethal versus non lethal" injuries."Some (parents) say to me 'I can't believe the world has come to this I have to send my child to school with a bulletproof backpack'. The other half say it's something that is probably necessary," he comments.TuffyPacks markets its products on its website with mass shootings in mind. And its backpacks don't come cheap. TuffyPacks' shields range in price from 9 to 9. Skyline's ProShield Scout backpacks are priced at 9, although it's less than the adult version that tops at 9.Some also cast doubt on the backpacks' safety and how much they can really protect children.Both Guard Dog Security and TuffyPacks claim their products are tested in independent labs in line with the standards for the National Institute of Justice and meet the requirements for a Level IIIA rating. That means the shields can thwart a 9-millimeter handgun and a .44 magnum. Naremour says it's like wearing a police vest.But the National Institute of Justice — the research, development and evaluation arm of the Department of Justice that comes up with the rating — has itself never conducted tests on these products or certified them and therefore cannot vouch for them.Educational experts say bullet-resistant backpacks are not the solution.Still, the makers of bullet-resistant backpacks have tapped into a fear that is real. And for parents feeling helpless and looking for an answer, the backpacks provide them with one.Marisol Rodriguez of Milwaukee said she is considering buying one for her 13-year-old son."It shouldn't have to come to the selling bulletproof backpacks," she said. "That just goes to show what type of society we live in today." 3026
