Bill Allowing IRS To Revoke Passports Described as "Stalinist"
Most pervasive restriction on mobility since Communism dominated Eastern Europe
Paul Joseph Watson
The �Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act� (MAP-21) is so crammed full of unconstitutional provisions that even the mainstream media is up in arms, with an Investors Business Daily editorial describing the section that allows the IRS to revoke passports of accused tax delinquents as �Stalinist�.
As we reported earlier this week
, Senate Bill 1813 would empower the Internal Revenue Service to bar Americans from leaving the country if they are merely accused of owing $50,000 or more in back taxes.
Despite numerous Supeme Court cases and the Constitution itself, namely Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 , which forbids "Bills of Attainder," arguing against the provision�s legality, the Republican-controlled House is expected to pass the bill in its entirety without much fanfare.
However, a maelstrom of dissent appears to be brewing, even amongst mainstream media columnists including the Investor�s Business Daily, a prominent national newspaper published in Los Angeles.
In an editorial entitled
IRS Might Have Stalinist Powers Under New Law
, IBD remarks, �It is hard to imagine any law more reminiscent of the Soviet Union that America toppled, or its Eastern Bloc slave satellites.�
The editorial compares the notion of empowering the IRS with such authority as a new kind of unseen Berlin Wall, creating powers that will restrict mobility to a degree not seen since Communism dominated eastern Europe.
�Throughout the many decades of the 20th century�s Cold War, the freedom of movement Americans enjoyed as a cherished right was one of our secret weapons. As the Communists in Moscow promised the world utopia out of the barrel of a gun, people around the globe noticed that the Soviets needed walls and barbed wire fences to keep their people in, while in the U.S. walls were as pointless as a fish�s bicycle.�
Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin was renowned for setting up a system of �internal passports� that restricted citizens from leaving their area of residence without government permission.
�There remain few things more prized than American citizenship. Yet now our ever-expanding leviathan of a government is forcing Americans abroad out, and it might soon build its own Berlin Wall, restricting our �freedom of world travel,� as Reagan put it, even when there is no conviction from a court,� states the editorial, making the connection with the recent revelation that
Americans are renouncing their citizenship
in record numbers due to intensified efforts by the feds to pry into their financial affairs.
But it�s not just the IRS provision that has prompted a frosty response to a bill that looked set to sail through with barely a whimper of protest � anti-privacy measures are also coming under scrutiny.
�Infowars� Paul Joseph Watson, reading through Section 31406 of the �Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act� (MAP-21) bill that�s currently making its way through Congress, made a nice catch: The bill calls for �Mandatory Event Data Recorders� to be installed in new vehicles starting in the year 2015,� writes
The Atlantic�s Megan Garber
, one of a number of publications to report on the enforcement of mandatory black boxes, a story that we
first highlighted on Wednesday
While some writers scoff
at the privacy implications of �event data recorders,� pointing out that they are already installed in the majority of new vehicles, they overlook the fact that making these black boxes mandatory is the first step to a tax by the mile system that has been
the goal of the Obama administration
for years.
However, the most chilling section of the MAP-21 bill is also the provision that�s attracted the least attention � the deployment of a
'vehicle to infrastructure' communication system
� in other words a two-way bug that will connect your car to the �Internet of things� � a transformation
recently hailed
by CIA chief David Petraeus as a boon for "clandestine tradecraft.�
This coincides with the development of street lights that are wirelessly connected to the Internet and double as �Homeland Security� surveillance hubs that can spot suspicious activity and
record private conversations
This kind of technology only existed in Stalin�s wildest dreams, and yet it is about to be mandated in all new vehicles within a few years unless simmering discontent over the MAP-21 bill is raised to a crescendo.

Jamie and Charlie love food. They love it so much that they drive an hour from their home in New Jersey to Philadelphia's thriving restaurant scene almost every weekend. But the commute is getting old, so now they'd like to find a pied-a-terre in the city, a small second home where they can stay on their weekend trips. But with a budget of $200,000, finding a place with a view, a pool, a fitness center, and a location right in the heart of the city may not be on the menu.

Pandora's metrics miss biggest plot point, and it's not Apple
On Wednesday, Pandora released its latest performance metrics for the previous month, and as the percentages continued to grow tame, they're are only going to fuel debate about the future of the Internet's biggest radio service.
But Pandora's monthly metrics didn't tell us the most important element of its story.
The missing piece isn't how much iTunes Radio could be swiping away listeners -- though next month will give a better sense of that, when Apple's competing online radio service has existed longer than just 12 days.
Pandora's story now is about how … Read more

None of them excite me particularly. Get to know your nanny and give them something they will really love based on who they are and their interests. In my experience the gift that has gone over the best with most nannies is a little holiday bonus given to them early. Then a small token from the child (even something hand made or a nice framed photo of them together) closer to the holiday. This is especially true if your nanny is young and cash strapped. My college age nannies just really want the cash. More mature nannies have appreciated something thoughtful and personal. When we had a live in she got more as we wanted her to have as many things under the tree as the other adults in the family so then we bought things like shown on this list (gloves, earbuds, etc) as filler. I would wrap a few in paper other than what I used that year and if extended family came without a gift for her I would slip them to them to give. You want the person caring for your child to feel like a loved member of the family not a resentful employee. After all you are asking them to love your little darling like family.

Carnage carnage |ˈkärnij|
the killing of a large number of people.
A lot of those close to me know that I have a fascination for zombies. I love shows like The Walking Dead; zombie-like movies such as 28 Days Later; games like Zombie Tsunami, Left 4 Dead or spooky ones like Silent Hill. I may be a scaredy cat but I somehow see the "beauty" in these horrible creatures. I think I've put my love of zombies into some of the short films I've made for school. The first one was a love story gone wrong and the second one I did is a trailer. For one of our classes, we had to make a trailer to a movie and I decided it would be about… A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY! NAAAT. Zombies, duh. While talking to my group mates James and Riel, we decided it would be something showcasing that it's the end of the world. Man is fighting for his life and he is fighting hard but sadly, losing the battle. We wanted it to be short and simple but with impact.
We got one of James' friends, Lance to be in it since we only needed one actor. I was assigned as the production designer for this project. We shot in James' room but we needed to fix it up a bit since we needed a hideout vibe.
For Lance, we put baby oil in his hair so that it would seem like he hadn't showered in days. I made his hands dirty with makeup and the same with his face. I used red lipstick and brown eyeshadow for the cuts on his face.
I just LOVED how the light was captured in the shots. We had an extra backlight because the sun wasn't strong enough. We also used an LED light so that we wouldn't just capture a silhouette. Thanks to the amazing DOP skills of Riel, superb lighting skill of James and kickass production design skill of mine, I think our group pulled this one off. Enjoy!

The Fact or Fishy item I had today at 7:15am with our Weekday Warmups contest to excercise the muscles of you're mind? Fact, there was a man who actually pulled a prank of loading tires in a dormant Volcano in Alaska. He then lit them on fire to create the look of a Volcano waking up. He fooled many local residents and even the United States Coast Guard. Here is a picture of what it looked like. firstname.lastname@example.com

ACS is well described in the adult, trauma and surgical patient population. Very little literature exists with regards to the pediatric population. The sparse reporting of it in the pediatric literature may be a reflection of a decreased awareness among pediatric health care providers.
To assess current knowledge and ability to identify ACS among pediatric heath care providers.
A brief written survey administered as a questionnaire.
Pediatric health care providers
A questionnaire was distributed to nurses attending a national nursing critical care meeting and at an international pediatric critical care conference.
Forty-six percent of 1107 questionnaires were completed and returned. The majority of participants included general Pediatricians, Pediatric Intensivists, Pediatric Nurses and others. Eighty-eight percent worked in an intensive care setting and 80% worked in a tertiary hospital setting. Seventy-seven percent of participants had heard of ACS. Participants working in an ICU or tertiary care setting were more likely to be aware of ACS. The IAP thresholds for defining ACS were variable among participants. About one-quarter of participants never measured IAP but when it was measured the method used was the intra-vesicle method. Two thirds of those who were aware had actual experience in managing a child with ACS.
Awareness and recognition of ACS needs to be further promoted among pediatric health care professionals and there needs to be more clarity in the definition ofACS in children. Patients at risk for developing IAH and ACS need to be monitored using more objective techniques more routinely according to the consensus recommendations by the WSACS.

GERD was present if the pH < 4 for over 5% of 24 hours. We examined growth curves at the initial pH-probe, 6 months later, and December 2009. At the six-month evaluation, we compared infants who lost to infants who gained. Logistic regression identified subgroups associated with weight loss independent of GERD.
Follow-up was complete for 191, 48(25.1%) lost and 143(74.9%) gained. GERD was present in 87/191(45.5%), 31(35.6%) underwent fundoplication, 56(64.4%) received anti-reflux medications. Weight loss occurred in 21/87(24.1%) and was not from GERD in 20/21(95.2%). Between 6-30 months (median: 10 months) after their initial probe, 5/31(16.1%) fundoplication patients were vomiting, but gaining weight. A pH-probe confirmed GERD. GERD was absent in 104/191(54.5%). Weight loss occurred in 27/104(26.0%) and was not from GERD in 20/27(74.1%). Between 6-31 months (median: 11 months) after a negative probe, 7/27(26.0%) were vomiting and losing weight. A pH-probe confirmed GERD. Infants unable to feed orally (OR:2.68(95%CI: 1.24-5.85)), or with a genetic syndrome (OR:13.56(95%CI: 4.56-40.29)), lost independent of GERD.
If treated, GERD is not associated with weight loss in NICU infants. Despite a negative pH-probe, pediatricians should inquire about GERD symptoms, and restudy infants before weight loss occurs. Infants with inability to feed orally or genetic syndromes lose weight, independent of GERD.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: We present a case of endoscopy-guided placement of a pleuro-peritoneal shunt in a patient with primary lymphedema, multiple abdominal lymphoceles, an episode of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and recurring symptomatic pleural effusions. CASE: A fifteen year-old boy with primary lymphedema, had undergone multiple thoracenteses and chest tubes for a left pleural effusion. An incision was made in the posterior axillary line at the sixth intercostal space. The pleural portion of the shunt was placed in good position guided by the five millimeter, thirty-degree camera. The shunt and pump chamber were tunneled under the skin. A 5mm incision was made in the left upper quadrant, a purse string suture was placed in the posterior rectus sheath and the 5mm port was inserted into the abdomen under direct vision. Pneumoperitoneum was obtained to a pressure of 13 mm Hg and the camera was inserted. Multiple lymphoceles and adhesions were identified. With laparoscopic guidance, an area was dissected in which to place the shunt. Immediate good shunt function was observed. DISCUSSION: This previously unreported use of endoscopy to successfully place a pleuro-peritoneal shunt, allowed a patient to be discharged from hospital free of oxygen and external tubes. Information was obtained about the patient's abdomen which will guide future therapy.

Introduction: NICU infants who require a gastrostomy, are frequently evaluated for GERD by 24-hour pH probe, despite the absence of symptoms. Objectives: 1) To identify the incidence of GERD in NICU infants requiring gastrostomy. 2) To identify factors associated with GERD. 3) To evaluate growth curves and identify development of GERD during follow-up. Methods: An IRB approved retrospective review was carried out between January 2004 and December 2006. 100 NICU infants under age 6 months, underwent a 24-hour pH probe prior to gastrostomy placement. Growth curves were reviewed at time of probe, 6 months later and at study completion (2-5 years follow-up). Data were analyzed by Chi-square and logistic regression. P values </= 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Thirty-four infants (34%) had GERD. Factors associated with GERD on univariate analysis were: neurologic impairment (p=0.001), prematurity (p=0.001), aspiration symptoms (p=0.002), intraventricular hemorrhage (p=0.002), seizures (p=0.005), and vomiting (p=0.005). Independent predictors were: neurologic impairment, OR 7.1 (95%CI 1.9-26), prematurity, OR 4.6 (95%CI 1.7-12.8), aspiration, OR 3.6 (95%CI 1.1-12.0), and vomiting, OR 3.4 (95%CI 1.4-8.0). Ninety-two infants(92%) had complete follow-up. Thirty (33%) had GERD and 62 (77%) did not. Despite initiation of therapy for GERD, 3/30 had recurrent symptoms of GERD but were growing well. All 62 who were GERD negative underwent only gastrostomy. Fifty-two of 62 continued to be symptom free and maintained their growth curves. Ten of 62 began vomiting 3-24 months after the initial probe (median: 7 months) and were restudied. All had GERD and 8 were losing weight. Conclusion: The incidence of GERD in NICU infants undergoing gastrostomy was 34%. Evaluation in this group should be directed to infants with neurologic impairment, prematurity, aspiration or vomiting. Infants without these factors may be over studied. Those without GERD at the time of initial gastrostomy, who subsequently develop GERD symptoms, should be re-evaluated promptly before they show evidence of failure to thrive.

We don't understand how Holly is able to rack up speeding tickets, but evidently being a 911 dispatcher doesn't earn her a pass. With a 306 under the hood with a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy cam, Edelbrock heads, and a Trick Flow Street Heat intake, she just might not give the officer a choice. We're sure if the officer doesn't see her coming, they'll hear her coming thanks to BBK Performance headers, a Bassani X-shape crossover pipe, and a Magnaflow after-cat exhaust. Of course, a supercharger will not help her cause, but she wants to add one anyway.

GLOUCESTER -- A group of local volunteers, craftsmen and businesses are laboring to get the Schooner Adventure in perfect shape for a movie appearance in "The Perfect Storm."
Master woodworker Jay McLauchlan of Gloucester has been helping supervise about a dozen volunteers, and last week crane operators helped reset the schooner's towering masts.
Gloucester Adventure Inc., a non-profit group that manages the schooner, had a little help with its spring cleaning from Warner Brothers films, which is expected to start shooting "The Perfect Storm" in Gloucester sometime this fall.
"The masts wouldn't have gone in this early without Warner Brothers' support," said Mary Helen Gunn, administrator for the Gloucester Adventure Inc.
Warner Brothers plans to launch the Adventure and shoot her bobbing in Gloucester Harbor for the movie.
"She's the real thing," Gunn said. "You can't get any more authentic than the Adventure."
The Adventure is one of only five surviving Essex-built schooners in the world.

Educating the Next Generation of Conservationists and Community Leaders
Providing Leadership and Opportunity in STEM Education
The Department of the Interior has been leading collaborative efforts to provide opportunities in STEM Education and to pave STEM career pathways.
Environmental Education and Service-Learning Programs
Interior's bureaus have a long history of engaging over 30 million youth each year in meaningful environmental education and service-learning programs. Parks, refuges and Interior programs throughout the nation offer opportunities for youth to learn about our lands, our waters, and our cultural heritage. These programs turn Interior lands into outdoor laboratories where students and teachers can experience firsthand the science lessons they learn in the classroom. Environmental education and service-learning programs are helping to educate the next generation of biologists, land managers, engineers and conservationists. As part of Hands on Lands, Learning Landscapes, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) hosts a number of field classroom sites across the country. In Oregon, BLM works with 8th grade students from Glide and Roseburg Middle Schools to collect water quality data at five sites in the Little River Watershed. Hydrological and Geographic Information System specialists train students in the use of monitoring equipment and help teachers develop classroom exercises based on the data students collect.
Historic/Cultural Preservation and Service-Learning Programs
Interior's bureaus have been working to engage thousands of youth in meaningful historic preservation and service-learning programs every year. From the struggles of First American communities in Indian Country to the role of the Civil Rights Movement in revitalizing our democracy, Park units and Interior staff work with youth to learn about the contributions diverse communities have made to the fabric of our nation. Historic preservation and service-learning programs are helping to educate the next generation of historians, landscape architects, archeologists, and curators. Togiak Refuge works in cooperation with three School Districts, and a number of Traditional Village Councils to sponsors the Cape Peirce Marine Science and Yup'ik Culture Camp. The Camp participants learn about marine mammal and seabird biology by helping field biologists conduct monitoring and behavioral studies of walruses, harbor and spotted seals, black-legged kittiwakes, and common murres. Village elders are invited to teach traditional ecological knowledge about Cape Peirce and its plants and wildlife. Students, elders, and Togiak Refuge staff share knowledge of Yup'ik uses of seabirds, marine mammals, and plants, and traditional conservation and survival skills. The camp has been taking place since 1995.
Bureau of Indian Education
The Bureau of Indian Education serves over 42,000 First American students, in Bureau-funded elementary and secondary schools located in 23 states across America. Of the 184 BIE schools, 59 are BIE-operated and 125 are tribally operated under BIE contracts or grants service. The Bureau also funds or operates off-reservation boarding schools and peripheral dormitories near reservations for students attending public schools. Over 270,000 First American students are the beneficiary of BIE grants and services. The BIE also serves 9,300 young adult First Americans and Alaska Native postsecondary students through higher education scholarships each year. Over 24,000 young adult First Americans also attend 26 BIE tribal colleges and universities each year. BIE is helping to educate the next generation of First American leaders throughout our country. Beyond school, Interior supports programs like the Women, Water and Wilderness program, in which 7-10 Native American young women are brought to Glacier National Park for four days of kayaking, leave-no-trace camping and personal empowerment.

The London Borough of Camden i/ˈkæmdən/ is a borough of London, England, which forms part of Inner London. The southern reaches of Camden form part of central London. The local authority is Camden London Borough Council.[2]
The borough was created in 1965 from the former area of the metropolitan boroughs of Hampstead, Holborn, and St Pancras, which had formed part of the County of London.[3] The borough was named after Camden Town, which had gained its name from Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden in 1795.[4] The transcribed diaries of William Copeland Astbury, recently made available, describe Camden and the surrounding areas in great detail 1829-1848.[5]
Districts and environs[edit]
- For a full list of districts and neighbourhoods of Camden, see List of districts in Camden
The area is in the northern part of the city, reaching from Holborn and Bloomsbury in the south to Hampstead Heath in the north. Neighbouring areas are the City of Westminster and the City of London to the south, Brent to the west, Barnet and Haringey to the north and Islington to the east. It covers all or part of the N1, N6, N7, N19, NW1, NW2, NW3, NW5, NW6, NW8, EC1, EC2, EC4, WC1, WC2, W1 and W9 postcode areas. It contains parts of central London.
Camden London Borough Council[edit]
Camden Town Hall is located in Judd Street near King's Cross. Camden London Borough Council was controlled by the Labour Party continuously from 1971 until the 2006 election, when the Liberal Democrats became the largest party. In 1985 when the borough was rate-capped, the Labour leadership joined the rebellion in which it declared its inability to set a budget in an unsuccessful attempt to force the Government to allow higher spending. Camden was the fourth to last council to drop out of the campaign, doing so in the early hours of 6 June.
Borough councillors are elected every four years. Since May 2002 the electoral wards in Camden are Belsize, Bloomsbury, Camden Town with Primrose Hill, Cantelowes, Fortune Green, Frognal and Fitzjohns, Gospel Oak, Hampstead Town, Haverstock, Highgate, Holborn and Covent Garden, Kentish Town, Kilburn, King's Cross, Regent's Park, St Pancras and Somers Town, Swiss Cottage and West Hampstead.
Between 2006 and 2010 Labour lost two seats to the Liberal Democrats through by-elections, in Kentish Town and Haverstock wards. A Labour Councillor in Haverstock ward also defected to the Liberal Democrats in February 2009. The Conservatives also lost two seats, one to the Liberal Democrats in Hampstead, and one the Green Party in Highgate.
At the local elections on 6 May 2010 the Labour party regained full control of Camden council. The new council is made up of 30 Labour, 13 Liberal Democrats, 10 Conservatives and 1 Green councillors. At the Council's AGM, Labour's Nasim Ali took office as Camden's first leader from the Bengali community. Labour Councillor Jonathan Simpson was elected the Mayor of the Borough.
The organisation's staff are led by the Chief Executive who is currently Mike Cooke. The organisation is divided into five directorates:
- Housing and Adult Social Care
- Children, Schools and Families
- Culture & Environment
- Central Services:
- Finance
- Legal
- Strategy and Organisation Development
- Chief Executives Department
The directorates are headed by a director who report directly to the Chief Executive. Each directorate is divided into a number of divisions headed by an assistant director. They in turn are divided into groups which are themselves divided into services. This is a similar model to most local government in London.
London Assembly[edit]
Camden forms part of the Barnet and Camden London Assembly constituency.
UK Parliament[edit]
There are two parliamentary constituencies covering Camden: Hampstead and Kilburn in the north, represented by Labour's Glenda Jackson,[6] and Holborn and St. Pancras in the south, represented by Labour's Frank Dobson.[7]

In 1801, the civil parishes that form the modern borough were already developed and had a total population of 96,795. This continued to rise swiftly throughout the 19th century, as the district became built up; reaching 270,197 in the middle of the century. When the railways arrived the rate of population growth slowed: while many people were drawn in by new employment, others were made homeless by the new central London termini and construction of lines through the district. The population peaked at 376,500 in the 1890s when official efforts began to clear the overcrowded slums around St Pancras and Holborn.
After World War II, further suburban public housing projects were built to rehouse the many Londoners made homeless in the Blitz, and there was an exodus from London towards the new towns under the Abercrombie Plan for London (1944). As industry declined during the 1970s the population continued its decline, falling to 161,100 at the start of the 1980s. It has now begun to rise again with new housing developments on brownfield sites and the release of railway and gas work lands around Kings Cross.
The 2001 census gave Camden a population of 198,000, an undercount that was later revised to 202,600.[8] The projected 2006 figure is 227,500.
On 20 May 1999, the Camden New Journal newspaper documented 'Two Camdens' syndrome as a high profile phenomenon differentiating the characteristics of education services in its constituencies. In 2006, Dame Julia Neuberger's book reported similar variation as a characteristic of Camden's children's health services. Her insider's view was corroboration - in addition to the 2001 "Inequalities" report by Director of Public Health Dr. Maggie Barker, of "stark contrasts in" health and education opportunities - of earlier similar Audit Commission findings and a verification/update of the 1999 CNJ report.[9]

The London Borough of Camden is the local education authority for the borough, organised through the Children, Schools and Families directorate.
- Buses
All bus services are operated by Transport for London. Buses serve every suburb in the borough.
- National Rail
Three of the fourteen central London's railway terminals are located in the borough. Euston, St. Pancras International and Kings Cross are the London termini for the West Coast, Midland and East Coast Main Lines and also High Speed 1. This connects the borough with the East of England, East Midlands, West Midlands, North East & West England, Scotland, South East England, Northern France and Brussels.
Since 14 November 2007 when St Pancras International became the new terminus of Eurostar, a major regeneration of the area has occurred with the King's Cross Central development happening behind the station.
London Overground's North London Line services run through the borough serving Camden Road, Kentish Town West, Gospel Oak, Hampstead Heath, Finchley Road & Frognal and West Hampstead. London Overground also operates the Watford DC Line services from Euston serving South Hampstead, trains continue to Watford in Hertfordshire.
First Capital Connect Thameslink route services serve St Pancras, Kentish Town and West Hampstead Thameslink stations. Currently the Thameslink network is undergoing a major expansion project called the Thameslink Programme. This will link more places in Southern England to the borough and to the East of England. While some services on the Great Northern network, which currently terminate at King's Cross will be diverted onto the Thameslink network, all work is due to be complete by 2016.[12]
- Underground
London Underground services are provided by the Circle, Central, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines, these all serve King's Cross St. Pancras apart from the Central and Jubilee lines. Other stations in the borough - Euston, Euston Square, Warren Street, Goodge Street, Holborn, Russell Square, Chancery Lane, Mornington Crescent, Camden Town, Chalk Farm, Belsize Park, Hampstead, West Hampstead, Finchley Road, Swiss Cottage and Kentish Town are scattered around the borough.
- Travel to work
In March 2011, the main forms of transport that residents used to travel to work were: underground, metro, light rail, tram, 21.5% of all residents aged 16-74; on foot, 9.2%; bus, minibus or coach, 9.2%; driving a car or van, 6.3%; work mainly at or from home, 5.2%; train, 4.1%; bicycle, 4.1%.[13]
- Future
A proposed rail or underground line called the Chelsea-Hackney line (also known as Crossrail 2 and the Chelney line) would run through the borough serving King's Cross St. Pancras tube station. The line would run between Epping and Wimbledon.
The formerly proposed Cross River Tram was going to start in the borough at Camden but was scrapped by the Mayor of London.
- Speed limit
From 16 December 2013, Camden Council introduced a borough-wide speed limit of 20 miles per hour, except on Transport for London red routes.[14][15]
Camden is policed by the Metropolitan Police. There are five police stations across the borough, situated at Holborn, Kentish Town, West Hampstead, Hampstead and Albany Street. Holborn and Kentish Town are open 24 hours to the public. Opening hours of the other stations vary. However the police are currently planning to consolidate all response (i.e. 999) policing at Kentish Town, with plainclothes and specialist units moved from Kentish town to the smaller stations from about April 2011. It is anticipated that Public consultations on this plan will shortly commence. (Jan 2011)
The current Borough Commander for Camden is Chief Superintendent John Sutherland.

London Fire Brigade[edit]
Four fire stations (Belsize, Euston, Kentish Town, West Hampstead) are operated by London Fire Brigade in the borough of Camden. None of these fire stations are home to any specialist units; just pumping appliances and a rescue tender. In 2006/2007, the four stations attended just under eight thousand incidents.
During 2006/2007 the ward of King's Cross had the most malicious calls, with over 40 against a total for the borough of 161.
Since 2002, Camden has seen a steady decrease in the number of fires attended (2002/2003 - 768; 2006/2007 - 547: -28%), something the LFB will put down to its commitment to its Community Fire Safety scheme.
Three of London's busiest railway stations are in the borough, namely Euston, King's Cross and St. Pancras. Somewhere in the region of 52 million passengers using the three every year.[16][17]

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine whether application of lower limb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) after determination of brain death improves donor stability, organ quality, organ yield, and early post transplant clinical outcomes.
Neurological death donors will be stratified into standard and extended criteria donors (SCD/ECD) and randomized in a 1:1 fashion to RIPC or No intervention. The primary outcome is the number of organs recovered per donor. Secondary outcomes include donor hemodynamic state, donor organ-specific function parameters, pulsatile perfusion parameters, number of organs transplanted per donor, recipient hospital free survival and delayed graft function of kidneys. The sample size is powered to detect a difference of 0.44 organs recovered.

MORGANTOWN - Lonnie Galloway and Shannon Dawson both spent a decent portion of West Virginia's preseason camp talking about the Mountaineers' depth at wide receiver.
Sometimes, though, it was difficult to tell just what they thought of it.
Yes, there were a whole lot of bodies there. Camp started with no less than 20 players on the roster with "WR'' beside their name. Even after Connor Arlia and Will Johnson moved on, there were still 18. Subtract the hybrid types who are really fullbacks in disguise and lop off a couple of walk-ons, and still the number of guys on scholarship whose primary job is to line up and go catch passes is a baker's dozen.
But can they? Go catch passes, we mean?
"Right now we just have numbers,'' said Dawson, the offensive coordinator who coached the receivers last year and then moved to the quarterbacks this. "There's a difference between potential and actual production.
"Right now I think we do have the potential to have depth at receiver. But you never know the mental capability of people, especially young kids, kids who haven't played in a game under that amount of pressure.''
Indeed, with most of WVU's receptions last year having graduated to the NFL - Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey and J.D. Woods combined to catch 289 of the 339 passes by non-running backs last season - there is a huge void. In fact, throw in a handful of other seniors or no-longer-with-the-program guys and guess how many wide receiver catches return from last season.
Try 26 of 339. That's not even eight percent.
Oh, and even among the few veterans in WVU's receiving corps, there are few who have been under pressure. Ivan McCartney and Jordan Thompson, who combined for 22 of those 26 catches last year, have played and have been in games at critical points. But with Austin, Bailey and Woods around, they've always tended to be third and fourth options, not primary receivers.
That's why all that depth still leaves a huge question mark, because none of them have actually played under pressure.
"We have depth in terms of just bodies,'' Dawson said. "And they're capable bodies that look the part and run the part and all that. But adding the pressure of making plays is a whole different deal. And we don't know who that's going to be.''
Well, they have a pretty good idea about who at least one of those will be. And they don't hide it very well.
Even while spending the last week sidelined in a green medical jersey, Kevin White's name kept jumping out. Actually, the fact that he did spend the last week in green might say volumes in terms of the coaching staff not wanting to risk any further injury.
"It's just a sore shoulder,'' White said. "At least I hope that's all it is. I could practice if I had to.''
Ask Galloway the same questions about the depth at wide receiver and you get pretty much the same answer - yes, there are plenty of bodies and they all look like receivers, but who knows?
"They're all doing well, all pretty much the same,'' said Galloway, back as the receivers coach after a two-year hiatus at Wake Forest. "Well, there's one guy who has elevated his game above the rest, but we won't go there.''

Jack Savidge remixes Clean Bandit
Thursday July 4, 2013
Friendly Fires' Jack Savidge's remix of Dust Clears has premiered on music/style site Planet Notion.
Of the remix of the new Clean Bandit single, Planet Notion said: "Taking what's undoubtedly one of the most introspective tracks we've heard to date from Baroque house four-piece Clean Bandit in 'Dust Clears', Friendly Fires' Jack Savidge turns the song's minimal beats and thoughtful vocals into a clamorous ocean of oscillating arpeggios and unrelenting percussion. In doing so, he creates a floor-ready firecracker ready to spontaneously combust at the drop of a pin.
What's remarkable though, is how Savidge is able to maintain the original's sense of longing way after his reworking has descended into pure club territory. You only have to listen out for the carefully cultivated string section interludes – which bring to mind the quartet's biggest hit to date, 'Mozart's House' – and the way in which the 'Dust Clear"s soulful vocals gain another level of desperation and gravitas when placed against Savidge's lush beats. A becoming reinterpretation that never loses sight of its roots".
Clean Bandit's 'Dust Clears EP' will be released on 28 July, which also includes remixes from Thom alt-J and Russ Chimes, and an exclusive new Clean Bandit track 'Rhianna'. Pre-order 'Dust Clears EP' here
