by Alistair

Swann Security has launched the latest addition to its range of covert security devices, the new higher spec PenCam DVR-421.

This latest model features a higher quality design, combined with higher image resolution and better sound recording.

Ideal for undercover surveillance and discreet monitoring, or as a fun gift.

The PenCam cleverly conceals a Video camera and DVR inside a real, working quality ballpoint pen.

With the PenCam, you can shoot colour videos and upload the files to YouTubeâ„¢, MySpaceâ„¢, Facebookâ„¢, Photobucketâ„¢ and other social networking sites. Perfect for lawyers, sales people, law enforcers, mystery shoppers, covert surveillance or just Internet fun.:

Simply click the top of the pen and it begins recording. Wear it innocently in your shirt pocket, place it in your desk organiser, or use it like an ordinary pen, whilst at the same time recording your own videos and storing on to the built in 2GB memory stick. The PenCam DVR-421 features time and date stamping and easy back up; it is possible to record over one hour at a time then upload to your PC. The built-in battery lasts for 90 minutes and is rechargeable via a PC’s USB port in approximately 60 mins. The PenCam DVR-421 is compatible with Windows XP/Vista, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer and QuickTime Player.

Honor student beaten to death: Can Chicago curb youth violence?

28.09.09

"It gets attention when someone dies, but this is every day with us," says Kase Miles, who graduated from Fenger a year ago, pointing to a scar on his cheek that he says he received at school when someone attacked him from behind with brass knuckles. "It's getting worse.... But if he wouldn't have died, [the media] wouldn't be here."

Keeping students safe – especially as they walk to and from school – has become a challenge for Chicago schools and police. Since the academic year began three weeks ago, five Chicago children have been killed, says Phillip Jackson, founder of the Black Star Project, which is working to strengthen violence-stricken communities in Chicago. In 2008, more than 30 students were killed, according to the Associated Press, citing district figures.

"Schools by themselves can't fix the problem," Mr. Jackson says. "We have to get the community involved. Right now, the problem seems to be here at Fenger. Tomorrow, it will be another school."Instead of the money that has come from Washington to bolster police presence, Jackson would like to see funds for more counselors, after-school programs, and job creation.
