It's been a windfall gain for Taser, the maker of wearable cameras and stun guns. The company reported a 50% increase in camera sales in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the same time a year ago. Taser (TSAR) said a total of 16 major U.S. cities, including Miami, Los Angeles and San Diego, have purchased its wearable cameras for their officers. The list doesn't include Baltimore. Freddie Gray's death in police custody in Baltimore is sparking debate about the transparency of those in uniform. Some critics say that if the Baltimore police had been wearing cameras, the events leading up to Gray's death would have been clearer. Baltimore's City Council proposed a bill last year to put cameras on officers. But mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake vetoed it, citing budget and implementation issues. The mayor has since been working on a police camera proposal of her own.

Web 2.0 is a very good class. It will help me in the long term. Mr. Porfido is very helpful and an excellent teacher. I've had his class twice now and it has been fun both times. I expected how to utilize the internet and technology resources better.
