NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. -- The last time a man walked across the Niagara Gorge, Grover Cleveland was president. Utah had just become a state. And, that same year, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens. Now Nik Wallenda, whose acrobatic lineage stretches back seven generations, will try late Friday night to become the first person since 1896 to walk from one side of the Niagara to the other on a wire.

St. Jude Medical will stop selling two types of wires used in devices that treat heart failure because conductive wires in some cases were sticking out of their insulation. The company, based in St. Paul, said on Wednesday that it would stop selling QuickSite and QuickFlex wires. St. Jude said there were no reports of patients being hurt or devices malfunctioning. The wires help the heart beat more effectively but do not deliver shocks that can save a patient's life. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The members of Wire - well, most of them - have reunited again after one of their frequent breakups, and they are on the road supporting a new album, "Red Barked Tree." The British post-punk band's 12th full-length studio recording is drawing near-universal praise, with some critics even suggesting that its minimalist, acerbic songs could sit easily next to those on the three highly influential albums the group delivered during its imperial phase between 1977 and 1979: "Pink Flag," "Chairs Missing" and "154." Wire follows its appearance at this week's Coachella Festival in Indio (Riverside County) with a concert next Sunday at Slim's. We spoke with guitarist Colin Newman. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Victorian toymakers spun off products from the latest theatrical productions soon after the plays opened. Printers manufactured miniature paper and wood theaters with accurate sets and costumed actors dangling on wires, footlights that burned gas or oil, and scripts for children to memorize. The toys had poor survival rates. The lithographed and painted surfaces wore out, and the frames snapped. Also, the footlights were hazardous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anyone with dreams of a home theater also has a nightmare: running wires across the floor or inside the walls to connect the audio equipment near the television with the speakers around the room. Polk Audio is selling a $1,200 sound bar -- an array of speakers in a single 44-inch case that is mounted under the TV -- that might be easier, if not a little cheaper, than hiring a drywall contractor. Its SurroundBar 360 plays acoustic tricks to simulate the multiple-speaker surround-sound sensation without the need for a subwoofer. The drivers inside the speaker array emanate a mix of in- and out-of-synch sound waves to clearly separate right, left and rear audio. The console connected to the sound bar has an AM-FM tuner, plays CDs and DVDs, and has hookups for multiple video and audio inputs, including the HDMI connection used with high-definition TVs and Blu-ray players. By channeling high-pressure, high-velocity air inside the speaker bar to the still air outside, the resulting turbulence creates a low-frequency sound wave. If the plaster cracks, you may need the contractor after all. MARTY KATZ [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
