Movie Review: Misfires and vintage noir in 'Gangster Squad'
In the annals of Hollywood history, there has been no studio more associated with the gangster genre than Warner Bros. Pictures.
From Robinson, Cagney and Bogart appearing in films like "The Public Enemy" and "Angels With Dirty Faces", to De Niro and Scorcese's "Goodfellas", Warner Bros.' reputation as the "gangster studio" is one well earned. With that reputation and the current resurgence of the gangster in modern pop culture – "The Godfather" never really went away, while "Boardwalk Empire" is a TV favorite – it seemed inconceivable that the star-studded "Gangster Squad" could be anything but a hit with fans and critics.
Stone and Gosling display none of the chemistry that have made them two of today's most-sought after young actors
Based loosely on actual events, "Gangster Squad" stars Josh Brolin ("No Country For Old Men", "MIB III") as John O'Mara, the archetypal clean cop in a dirty city, in this case, 1949 Los Angeles. Decorated for his service in World War II and strictly by-the-book, O'Mara would like nothing more than to incarcerate Mickey Cohen, a real-life mob boss portrayed by Sean Penn ("Mystic River") with scenery-chewing aplomb.
With Brolin bringing steely-eyed determination to his sequences, Penn uses every chance he gets to overact, making one think that the LAPD could have tracked him down just by following the sound of his yelling.
A war for the soul of L.A.
To wage the war "for the soul of Los Angeles" (in the words of Police Chief Bill Parker, played by Nick Nolte), battle lines will be drawn, and alliances made.
On the side of the angels is a crack squad of lawmen assembled by O'Mara, comprising of the expected assortment of personalities and specialties. The first ones to join O'Mara are the prerequisite rookie, Detective Navidad Ramirez (Michael Peña, "Crash", "Tower Heist"), the token Harlem cop who's handy with a switchblade, Detective Coleman Harris (Anthomny Mackie, "The Hurt Locker") and Giovanni Ribisi's ("Lost in Translation", "Avatar") Detective Conwell Keeler, who adds his brains to everyone else's brawn.
Adding his own brand of lethal menace is Robert Patrick ("T2: Judgment Day", "Walk the Line") as famed gangster hunter Max Kennard. Who would have thought that Patrick's infamously-poker-faced visage would eventually serve him well as a protagonist?
Sean Penn plays mob boss Mickey Cohen.
The wild card of the group is Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling, "Drive", "Young Hercules"), a laid-back young officer, and friend of O'Mara. Initially wary, Wooters first turns down O'Mara's offer to join the team, reluctant to trust and occupied with his own efforts to take down Cohen.
It is not until a friend of Wooters is killed that he signs up for the titular "Squad". Of course, further complications arise in the lovely form of Emma Stone as Cohen's etiquette coach, Grace Faraday, whom Wooters is quickly infatuated with.
Stylized violence, character disconnect
Given the proper frame of mind, there's a lot of fun to be had with "Gangster Squad", a loud, brash, colorful explosion of a period romp interspersed with stylized violence, high production values and a cast to die for.
Unfortunately, despite the impressive body count, no shortage of fisticuffs, conflagrations and heroics, "Gangster Squad" never really makes us connect with its characters enough to actually care about them.
With Brolin stoic and Penn manic, and the rest of the team made up of caricatures, the closest we have to a relatable character here is Gosling's Wooters, but the young performer shows none of the presence nor gravitas he's become known for, coming across here like a male Kristen Stewart.
Now, the one facial expression-monotone combo was used by Gosling to excellent effect in the downright brilliant "Drive", but it just seems out of place for Wooters' cynical – yet smooth – charmer.
Stone acts impeccably, looks gorgeous
The object of Wooters' affection, Faraday, as played by Emma Stone, acts circles around Gosling, bringing just the right amount of intelligent standoffishness to her part while looking incredibly, impossibly gorgeous.
Emma Stone as Grace Faraday acts circles around Gosling and looks great doing it.
As a fan of Gosling and Stone's pairing in "Crazy Stupid Love", my frustrations with their lack of chemistry here would have been assuaged if the movie around them tried to be something more than mere escapist entertainment.
Plain and simple, this isn't the film we were sold in the months of publicity leading up to release. Marketing "Gangster Squad" to moviegoers as a serious crime picture along the lines of De Palma's "The Untouchables" was a mistake.
The final film lacks the weight or ambition to elevate it to such esteemed company. This is the gangster picture as one of the lesser summer comic book action movies: something to keep you distracted for a couple of hours, but one that you'll have trouble remembering a few months down the line.
Given the tone and treatment, maybe they could have gone for a "Dick Tracy" remake instead. – KDM, GMA News
Gangster Squad is currently screening nationwide and has been rated "R-13 Without Cuts."

An outline of a plan from the so-called Gang of Five to slash the deficit by $3.7 trillion over 10 years got a warm reception from about half of the members of the Senate Tuesday morning, buoying hopes the proposal could still be a factor before an Aug. 2 deadline for raising the debt ceiling.

PICTURES: No Labels Holds Rally for Debt Ceiling Agreement
The proposal includes $1 trillion in new revenue, but like Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad's budget proposal, it would be scored as cutting taxes because it would end expensive annual fixes to the Alternative Minimum Tax, senators involved in the discussions said.
(RELATED: GOP Rams Cap Into House For Vote While Debt Talks Deepen)
It includes an immediate $500 billion in spending cuts that could function as a stand-alone proposal, backers added.
"The plan has moved significantly, and it's where we need to be," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., a one-time member of the Gang of Six who walked out of the group's talks this spring.
(RELATED: Obama Hails Gang of Six Plan)
Coburn said the proposal could reach the key threshold of 60 votes in the Senate. Other senators were more circumspect, with Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo. , saying a "large number of senators are prepared to move on a comprehensive plan."
But the proposal is not yet legislation, or public, and with both Senate leadership offices cool to it as they work to craft their own fallback bill, and the House likely to oppose the taxes included in the proposal, it remains a longshot for immediate action.
Coburn indicated he had rejoined the gang.

Origins and History
Observation is a fundamental way of finding out about the world around us. As human beings, we are very well equipped to pick up detailed information about our environment through our senses. However, as a method of data collection for research purposes, observation is more than just looking or listening. Research, simply defined, is "systematic enquiry made public" (Stenhouse, 1975). Firstly, in order to become systematic, observation must in some way be selective. We are constantly bombarded by huge amounts of sensory information. Human beings are good at selectively attending to what is perceived as most useful to us. Observation harnesses this ability; systematic observation entails careful planning of what we want to observe. Secondly, in order to make observation 'public', what we see or hear has to be recorded in some way to allow the information to be analysed and interpreted.
The origins of observation as a research technique coincide with the early development of science itself. In the natural sciences, for example, early progress was made primarily through very careful, systematic observation and recording of descriptions of phenomena in the natural world. The work of Charles Darwin would be a good example of the way in which careful observation provided the evidence which enabled him to build his theory of evolution in The Origin of Species. Observation in contemporary educational and social research deals with highly complex social phenomena and provides major challenges for the researcher.
The Role and Purpose of Observation
Quantitative Research
The term 'systematic' observation is usually associated with observation undertaken from the perspective of quantitative research where the purpose is to provide reliable, quantifiable data. This usually involves the use of some kind of formal, structured observation instrument or schedule. The observation method being used will clearly identify: the variables to be observed, perhaps by means of some kind of behavioural checklist; who or what will be observed; how the observation is to be conducted; and when and where the observations will take place.
Qualitative Research
Observation can provide rich qualitative data, sometimes described as 'thick description' (Geertz, 1973), for example, where the relevant phenomena have been carefully observed and detailed field notes have been recorded. Typically, the researcher would not approach the observation with pre-determined categories or questions in mind. Because of this openness, observation in qualitative research is often referred to as unstructured.
Structured observation is more likely to be carried out by those operating from a 'positivist' perspective, or who at least believe it is possible to clearly define and quantify behaviours. Unstructured observation is more likely to be carried out by those operating from an 'interpretive' or 'critical' perspective where the focus is on understanding the meanings participants, in the contexts observed, attribute to events and actions. Positivist and critical researchers are likely to be operating from a 'realist' perspective, namely that there is a 'real world' with 'real impact' on people's lives and this can best be studied by looking at social settings directly.
Many of the issues studied in this unit apply both to quantitative and qualitative approaches but we shall consider them separately.
Ethical Considerations
Observation poses potential ethical problems for researchers. The assumption of participation in research being on the basis of fully informed consent is challenged where there is a need for the observation to be unobtrusive and hence legitimate concern on the part of the researcher over the observer effect, i.e. where the behaviour under consideration will change when those being observed are aware of the presence of the observer. This is precisely the kind of situation which calls for the involvement of an ethics committee to weigh up the desirability of the research to go ahead against the interests of participants being fully informed of the research taking place. Another potential ethical issue arises with observational research as it does with any kind of research, namely, the duty of the researcher to protect participants from any harm. This, for example, would make an observational study of school bullying unethical. If a child were observed bullying another, there would be a responsibility on the part of the researcher to intervene in the situation to prevent any harm.

UNICEF aims to expand subsidy system to reach Mozambique's most vulnerable children
By Shanta Bloemen
GUARA GUARA, Mozambique, 21 October 2011 – The childhood of Filiphe Luis Marime, 15, ended three years ago when his mother died after a long illness. He was left responsible for his younger siblings, one of whom was just an infant.
After his mother's death, Filiphe took the small amount of money she had left and followed her instructions to leave the village and their bad luck behind. He crossed the river and started afresh in the village of Guara Guara in Sofala Province, central Mozambique.
Daily survival struggleHe was given a small piece of land that he keeps in meticulous order and with the help of a few neighbours built a small thatched-roof home for his family. They survive on the maize they grow and the generosity of a local neighbour – a volunteer for the local child protection committee who checks on them on a regular basis.
Although Mozambique has benefited from two decades of stability and economic growth since the long civil war ended in 1992, many of these economic gains have yet to translate into jobs and income for the poorest. In many cases inequality is on the rise, especially for the estimated 24,000 child-headed households.
Last year, riots rocked the capital city Maputo, as food and fuel prices escalated and the Government introduced short-term subsidies on the price of basic goods. With 70 per cent of the 23 million people in this Southern African country living on less than $2 a day and 44 per cent of children chronically malnourished, the fear is that the poorest children – especially those living alone – are not getting enough support.
What Filiphe and his siblings grow is barely enough to keep them well-nourished and they often rely on one meal a day. Talk of the future beyond daily survival is tough. "How can I think of the future when I don't go to school and have three siblings to feed, clean and see grow up?" asks Filiphe solemnly. Previously a high-performing student, he has not attended school since his mother's death and now worries he does not have the records of his previous grades to get admitted to his new local school.
A fragile systemIt is these types of daily survival challenges that can overwhelm a country's fragile child protection system. UNICEF is now working with the Government of Mozambique to expand the national food subsidy programme to include poor and vulnerable children, especially children like Filiphe who are responsible for raising other children.
Currently only the elderly, adults living with disability and those who are chronically ill can qualify for food subsidies. An estimated 200,000 families benefit from a national social assistance programme started in 1990. The subsidy has since grown to become a major component of the country's 2007 Social Protection Act and is funded by a number of donors and the Government of Mozambique.
Currently, the Government is looking to expand the subsidy system to target the poorest families in urban areas with food baskets and transport subsidies. As the country grapples with how to tackle the escalating price of basic food items and the global crisis threatens the country's donor funding, UNICEF believes that the priority must be on the poorest and most vulnerable children.
Reaching vulnerable children"Children like Filiphe cannot be forgotten. We need to make sure that the subsidy system reaches the poorest children and we build a viable system to care, support and protect them," says UNICEF Child Protection Officer in Mozambique Ana Machaieie. "Unfortunately, the current criteria used by government for the cash transfers does not include children living on their own."
If steps are not taken, many more children will remain without any kind of financial support, put in a situation where they could be exploited and left without any hope for the future.

Below is the poem entitled Double standards which was written by poet
Bailey. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Michelle Bailey
The expectations given to me I
have not met
Unlike others I can't always
forgive and forget
Like the time you said whole
heap of lies to me
And you wonder why I have an
issue with honesty
I haven't quite met up to your
But all that glitters is not as it
Like the time you made me feel
so unworthy
All those times I cried out, I
suppose you never heard me
You never understand until you
experience the same
Then suddenly it becomes
acceptable-you sound so lame
Like the time when I became
lost in the crowd
But to air my concerns,
somehow it's not allowed
But lo and behold if you was to
feel lost too
You expect a fuss and to be
molly cuddled too
Like the time I explained my
true fears
Why ask if you don't like what
you hear
Like the time when you said
you're always here for me
Hello.........I'm still waiting for
your company
Maybe I'm looking at the glass
half empty
As the things said don't
manifest to be
Could I be too analytical so that
I don't understand?
Like the joker in a pack you've
dealt me your hand

As time is running out for President Obama and Congress to reach an agreement on the so-called "sequester", people in Kentucky are beginning to worry about the consequences that the state will face if they can't find a compromise.
If the sequester went into effect, the White House said our state would lose nearly $12 million for education, putting around 160 jobs at risk.
Kentucky would also lose nearly $8 million used to help students with disabilities.
On top of this, the loss of money would mean that more than 1,300 children would not be vaccinated for diseases.
And up to 500 disadvantaged children could lose access to child care, meaning their parents may have trouble holding down a job.
Governor Beshear released a statement about issue. He said the possible sequester, "…carries real and negative impacts for Kentucky families if D.C. fails to address it, including serious cuts to Kentucky's classrooms."

Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship

|Voivodeship of Poland1

|¹ Voivodeship of the Polish Crown in the
Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth; Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland before 1569.
Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship (Latin: Palatinatus Brestensis, Polish: Województwo brzesko-kujawskie) was a unit of administrative division and local government in the Kingdom of Poland (later Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth), from the 14th century to the Second Partition of Poland in 1793. It was part of the historic Kujawy region and the Greater Polish prowincja. Originally, its name was Brzesc Voivodeship (Wojewodztwo brzeskie), but after the 1569 Union of Lublin, it was renamed into Brzesc Kujawski Voivodeship, to distinguish it from Lithuanian Brest Litovsk Voivodeship (Polish: Wojewodztwo brzesko-litewskie).
Its area was 3,276 sq. kilometers, divided into five counties. The seat of the voivode was at Brześć Kujawski, while local sejmiks for both Brześć Kujawski and Inowrocław Voivodeships took place at Radziejow. It was one of the smallest and most densely populated voivodeships of the Commonwealth.
Zygmunt Gloger in his monumental book Historical Geography of the Lands of Old Poland provides this description of Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship:
"East of the land of the Polans lies the region of Kujawy, most of which stretches along left bank of the Vistula. The region was divided into two voivodeships: those of Brześć Kujawski, and Inowrocław. Third part of historic Kujawy, the Dobrzyn Land, lies on the right bank of the Vistula. Duke Boleslaw Krzywousty, while writing his testament in 1138, united Kujawy and Mazovia, giving it to his son Boleslaw IV the Curly (...) The dynasty of Mazovian Piasts lasted until the 16th century, while the Kujawian Piasts died out in the 14th century. As a result, Kujawy returned to the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland in 1434, two hundred years before Mazovia. It is not known when the province was divided into two voivodeships, but in Horodlo in 1413 (see Union of Horodlo), two Kujawian voivodes were already present: Maciej of Labiszyn was the voivode of Brześć, and Janusz of Koscieliska was the voivode of Gniewkowo, later Inowrocław (...)
The area of Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship was almost 60 sq. miles, with 67 Roman-Catholic parishes, 13 towns and 567 villages. It was divided into five counties: Brześć Kujawski, Radziejow, Przedecz, Kowal and Kruszwica. All counties were among the smallest in the Province of Greater Poland, as Przedecz County had the area of 9 sq. miles, while Kruszwica County was even smaller, with 6 sq. miles. At the same time, however, Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship (together with Łęczyca Voivodeship) was most densely populated of all voivodeships of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Its population density in the 16th century reached 1,200, even 1,300 people per sq. mile (...)
Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship had six senators. These were: The Bishop of Kujawy, the Voivode and the Castellan of Brześć Kujawski, as well as Castellans of Kruszwica, Kowal and Konary. Starostas resided in capitals of the five counties, plus at Nieszawa and Dunikow. Since both Brześć Kujawski and Inowrocław voivodeships were part of Kujawy, local sejmiks for them took place at Radziejow. Here, four deputies to the Sejm were elected, and two deputies to the Greater Poland Tribunal. Both voivodeships shared one coat of arms".

We're sure Billy Ray Cyrus (dad to teen queen Miley) was just trying to be nice when he invited Britney Spears over for Thanksgiving dinner, but now he's kinda screwed. Cuz girlfriend – being the wacky, spontaneous weirdo that she is – has said yes to his offer, and Britney will be shoving sweet potatoes in her mouth alongside 2007's version of her former self. Weird right? Now that Brit has said yes to his invite of "Honey, you are welcome to a Nashville Thanksgiving at our house," what is the Cyrus gang to do?
1. Keep the food (and the booze) coming. It's not just Thanksgiving, but it's Thanksgiving with a depressed, single 26-year old whose babies are with their dad on a holiday because their mom sucks at life. Make two green bean casseroles this year!
2. Lock up Miley's closet. Britney is going to try to switch clothes with her immediately. To really prevent this, make sure no one wears a bikini to the dinner table.
3. On second thought, lock up Miley! Do you really want that kind of influence around her? [Images: Getty]

Dear Human,
I have worked with the finest furry tailors in the world, and am here to share my bounty of knowledge. Here's how to measure your pet...
Measure from the base of the tail (where it connects to the hindquarters) up to where the collar typically sits at the base of the neck, then follow up with a generous back scratch.
This is measured by giving your pet a
hug, during which you measure the entire circumference (all the way around) at the widest point of your pet's chest. This is typically right behind the front legs.
First, plenty of kisses. Then, measure the neck's circumference
(the distance around it) at the point where the collar sits.

Coaches in very different situations
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Marshall's and Maryland's respective football programs are in different places.
And I'm not referring to the dissimilar geography of Huntington, W.Va., and College Park, Md.
It's the pervading atmosphere that's even present here during preparations for the Military Bowl at 2:30 p.m. Friday in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md.
Take Marshall, for example.
Athletic director Mike Hamrick wanted the media to know Herd coach Doc Holliday was contacted by Florida Atlantic about the Owl's vacant head coaching position. He wanted MU's fans to realize Holliday is coveted by other colleges. He wanted everyone to appreciate that Holliday was loyal to Marshall and told FAU he wasn't interested.
But Maryland?
Athletic director Kevin Anderson was in the opposite situation. Despite the Terps going 7-5 and reaching a bowl game, the criticism of coach Randy Edsall continued.
In fact, Maryland's welcoming ceremony in the historic Mayflower Hotel was punctuated by Jenkins having to give Edsall a vote of confidence. That's because a post on TerrapinSportsReport.com claimed Maryland planned to buyout the remaining three years on Edsall's contract if Maryland loses to Marshall.
So, when Anderson introduced Edsall here, he chose some pointed words.
"Our football coach, my football coach Randy Edsall," said Anderson, according to the Baltimore Sun newspaper. "He's my guy. Whatever those blogs have just been posted are not true."
See the distinctively different places?
Any pressure on Marshall's Holliday is self-imposed. But the pressure on Maryland's Edsall comes from both without and within.
Add that to the list of intangibles playing a role in this bowl game.
HE'S MY BROTHER: That's why there was nothing heavy about Duke Edsall officiating Marshall's 121-57 win over Alice Lloyd on Dec. 17 in the Henderson Center.
You see, Duke is the brother of Maryland's Randy Edsall.
Yet, everything was light-hearted about the coincidence of Edsall officiating a basketball game involving his brother's football opponent in the Military Bowl.
"When I told Randy I was working this game at Marshall," said Edsall with a grin, "he said I should get to Huntington a little early, so I could stop by the football stadium and do a little scouting for him."
The friendly banter didn't stop when the game began.
At one point, Marshall coach Tom Herrion reportedly told Edsall the only reason he made that call was because Marshall's football team was going to beat his brother's team.
Edsall planned to be in Annapolis, Md., on Friday to support his brother and Maryland's team in the Military Bowl.
PIVOTAL OPPONENT: That's what Virginia Tech was for both Marshall and Maryland.
For Maryland, the 27-24 overtime win at Virginia Tech was a defining turning point, leading to a strong, positive finish for the Terps. It was a statement game that led Maryland to the Military Bowl.
But for Marshall, the 29-21 triple overtime loss in Blacksburg, Va., set a negative tone for road performances that plagued the Herd for the rest of the season. It led to a loss at Middle Tennessee, struggles at FAU and Tulsa and, eventually, an alarmingly one-sided defeat at Rice in the Conference USA championship game.
One positive.
One negative.

Charles Reese
Dear God I pray you keep our men from harm,
it's you who dwells inside the flames of life.
When we're with you we're safe without alarm;
dear God I pray we'll soon be free from strife.
Now since your kingdom has now come along,
I ask You now show us Your precious will.
It's in your strength we learn to live so strong;
I pray our leaders vision does not kill
the very thing You want to see them do.
Instead I pray dear Lord that each will be
great men and women who will first love You;
such people have your sound integrity.
I close this prayer with just this one request
help each of us to do our very best.
Help each of us to do our very best,
then soldiers in your army we will be.
For in you strength we'll surely pass life's test,
if each of us will learn to follow Thee.
The rules You've given me I shall adhere,
for now I have become a child of Yours.
Oh, I shall never run or flee from fear;
I'll wait for You to bring me through life's doors.
The best from you I know I'm yet to find,
because I'm not perfected in your sight,
though to Your children you are more then kind,
for we are purchased with Your blood alright.
Now all of life's become a sacred race;
I'll try my best to keep within your pace.
I'll try my best to keep within your pace
so when testing comes I will remain.
With You there' nothing that I cannot face,
for now I have recieved Your holy name.
I pray that every man will follow soon
the road you've surely paved for each of them.
It's then each life will fully come in tune,
as each one's lump of coal becomes a gem.
Because I know not what tommorrow brings,
my trust I have for You will never die;
for I shall wait to fly upon Your wings:
when in that day I meet You in the sky,
Dear Lord, just one more thing I need to say,
help me to stay the course when skies are gray.
Help me to stay the course when skies are gray,
as enemies are burning fires around.
Let not my eyes from You then go astray,
but now and ever keep me safe and sound.
I hope to always walk in paths You've made;
it's their that I will find Your precious touch.
You've healed my life from sin because I've prayed
to make you Lord of all I Iove so much.
I know not what tommorrow has in store,
but of Your presence here I am assured;
now You are more the fables to explore,
While I Am but a preson who's endured.
To keep Your word and do what you have asked,
I feel that I am blest in every task.

Pixel Density: when Moore is less
We've added some new information to our product database to make it easier to understand the characteristics of camera sensors. The idea of megapixels is generally well understood but, mainly because of the way they've historically been presented, sensor sizes aren't.
We feel that relating these two pieces of information gives a clearer understanding of how they interact. To achieve this, we've added the new field: "Pixel Density" to our database, to help when comparing cameras. We think you'll find it useful.
Up until now, the sensor sizes have been provided as slightly obscure imperial fractions that hark back to a set of standard sizes given to TV camera tubes in the 50's. This is industry standard practice but by no means intuitive. To get around this, we've researched the common sensor sizes and used them to calculate a value we're calling 'Pixel Density.'
Pixel Density is a calculation of the number of pixels on a sensor, divided by the imaging area of that sensor. It can be used to understand how closely packed a sensor is and helps when comparing two cameras with different sensor sizes or numbers of photosites (pixels). Because the light collecting area and efficiency of each photosite will vary between technologies and manufacturers, Pixel Density should not be used as an absolute metric for camera quality but instead to get an impression for how tightly packed the imaging chip is.
Pixel Density now appears in our database and will appear when you look up a specific camera or when you conduct a 'Side-by-side' comparison in our Buying Guide. We'll also add it as a search criterion in the Buying Guide's 'Features Search.'
In recent months we've made small changes to the database (such as adding viewfinder specifications for DSLRs and tweaking the value ranges that can be used for searching it). We have even bigger plans for the future so, if you have any ideas you'd like to see implemented or think you have more sensible search ranges that should be applied, please get in touch. Use the 'Feedback' link on the left of the page and select 'Camera database error' as the Subject.

Cambridge microbiologist Robert Barlow dies penniless in Liverpool after his benefits were withdrawn - despite him needing a new heart
Posted: April 09, 2014|
A disabled man died penniless when he lost his benefits after being judged fit to work – despite being so ill doctors said he needed a new heart.
Robert Barlow died last November aged 47 while suffering from a heart defect and brain tumour.
The classically trained pianist – who worked for years as a microbiologist in Cambridge – was deemed fit to work by benefits assessors Atos, even though doctors at the time urged him to have a heart transplant.
He passed away less than two years later.
Now Mr Barlow's Cambridge family and Labour MP Luciana Berger want the Government to learn lessons from this tragic case.
His aunt Joan Westland, 85, of Cherry Hinton, said: "I don't know how they expected him to work. Nobody would have loved to work more than him, but he simply couldn't."
Mr Barlow worked as a Government scientist for Defra in Cambridge for around 15 years, living in Tiverton Way.
But he gave up his job nine years ago when diagnosed with severe cardiomyopathy, a weakness or failure of the heart muscle, and moved back to his native Liverpool.
By the end of his life he could not walk, struggled to read due to poor eyesight and often fell over, smashing his teeth on one occasion.
Doctors eventually gave Mr Barlow a year-and-a-half to live and recommended a heart transplant.
He was often in and out of hospital during his final months.
Mrs Westland, who received the British Empire Medal after a career in charge of the switchboard at the government offices in Brooklands Avenue, Cambridge – where her nephew also worked – said: "Robert said he wouldn't have the heart transplant.
"He had no commitments and thought it would be better if there was a heart for it to go to somebody else. We tried to talk him into having the operation but he wouldn't do it."
Mr Barlow, who was born in Wallasey, Liverpool, was given a fitness-to-work test by Atos in January 2012 and his Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) was stopped three months later.
He also lost the right to free NHS prescriptions.
Mrs Westland added: "Robert was dying and he accepted that. I feel he should have been left to enjoy what little time he had left."
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says Mr Barlow initially challenged the decision to stop his benefits but the appeal was withdrawn – because, according to Mrs Westland, he felt too ill to fight the case.
"Robert had very little money on benefits and nothing at all when his money was stopped," his aunt said. "I know there are scroungers but he was not one of them."
"I want these fitness-to-work tests to stop because I don't want other people going through the same trauma. Robert was very, very distressed after his assessment."
Mr Barlow died after a fall at home, just seven months after his mother passed away.
Since then Atos has quit its £500m contract to carry out fit-to-work tests and ministers are looking for a new provider.
Wavertree MP Ms Berger, a shadow health minister, raised Mr Barlow's tragic story in the House of Commons last month. She said: "It's not enough to change the provider. The whole process needs to be totally redesigned.
"My constituent is someone who lost his life at a time when his ESA was suspended.
"He was too sick to appeal the decision and died while he had no access to benefits."
A DWP spokesman said: "We have followed the correct procedures in the processing of this benefit claim. People have the right to appeal a decision, but if the appeal is withdrawn we cannot continue with processing the claim."

Ateneo escapes UST late run, enters UAAP finals
For more FTW videos, visit GMANews.TV FTW
Ateneo edged University of Santo Tomas, 69-66, on Thursday at the Big Dome to enter the UAAP finals, bringing the Blue Eagles to the verge of its fourth consecutive championship.
Greg Slaughter finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks while Kiefer Ravena and Nico Salva added 13 and 12 each for the Blue Eagles.
The Eagles enjoyed a comfortable lead that went as high as 14 points, 44-30, in the third quarter. UST made a late run sparked by Jeric Fortuna's clutch three late in the fourth canto to cut Ateneo's lead to five, 65-60.
Ateneo got back to its form that allowed it to win 13 consecutive games prior to the Final Four before a lopsided loss to Adamson at the close of the elimination round that stopped the Blue Eagles from an outright finals spot.
"Anytime you lose a game, it's difficult to get the confidence back. We went through a whole week with questions if we are still hungry for a crown or we peaked too early. But I think we did a good job of bouncing back," said Ateneo coach Norman Black.
"We controlled the game for the most part but our defense held up especially in the end when UST was making their three-point shots which is their strength," Black said.
After a close first quarter, the Blue Eagles broke away when Salva, Slaughter and Ravena made baskets for a 36-26 lead and a 38-30 advantage at the half.
The Blue Eagles' lead reached 15 points when Slaughter hit two free throws, 48-33, before the seven-footer slammed home a two-handed dunk on an alley-oop pass from Salva to make it a 50-37 game.
UST made it close hitting their three-point shots in the fourth period. The Tigers hit four triples in the final period but Jeric Fortuna missed a triple at the buzzer to end the game.
Chris Camus hit two threes in the fourth and Jeric Teng hit another triple that made it a one-point game, 67-66, with 5.5 seconds left but Salva hit two free throws for a three-point lead with 2.7 seconds left.
The Tigers struggled from the free throw line as they made only 15-of-26 shots from the charity stripe while also committing crucial turnovers late in the game.
Karim Abdul had 11 of his 16 points in the first quarter as he kept the Tigers in the game early. He also added 16 rebounds, two steals and two blocks but that wasn't enough. -MCG/OMG/HS, GMA News
ATENEO 69 — Slaughter 17, Ravena 13, Salva 12, Chua 9, Tiongson 5, Gonzaga 5, Monfort 4, Long 4, Golla 0, Austria 0.
UST 66 — Abdul 16, Camus 13, Teng 11, Ferrer 10, Fortuna 8, Afuang 5, Tan 3, Sheriff 0, Pe 0, Lo 0, Ungria 0.
Quarters: 18-18, 38-30, 52-40, 69-66.

Video: Chain-reaction pile-up halts WB I-80 in the Sierra
PLACER COUNTY, CA - A huge traffic wreck in the Sierra that involved more than a dozen vehicles and six big rigs shut down parts of Interstate 80 for hours Friday, say authorities.
The crash was first reported at 1:29 p.m. just west of Yuba Gap, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Cal Fire says one person died and four were transported to hospitals. Another 10 have minor to moderate injuries that didn't require hospitalization.
Emergency responders said a big rig jackknifed, blocking both lanes. A truck following couldn't stop in time and plowed into the semi, causing it to overturn. Cars following piled into each other, one after another.
The driver in one of the first trucks told News10 he heard the sound of metal hitting metal for five minutes after the first impact.
One of the involved vehicles was a tanker carrying hydrogen. It partially jack-knifed and was hit but wasn't pierced and no hydrogen leaked, officials said.
Cal Trans cleared the right side of the highway around 7 p.m. so that dozens of motorists stuck behind the wreck could move. For the next few hours CHP officers let traffic through when possible, but the road was frequently shut down so that wreckers could clear damaged vehicles from the scene. Traffic finally was able to move freely around 11 p.m.

Lawyer: Ala prison officials underreport inmate violence
By Attorney says documents show violence rampant at Donaldson prison
Birmingham, AL – - Lawyers for inmates say confidential
records prove Alabama's corrections agency routinely underreports
fights, stabbings, beatings and suicides at a maximum-security
Sarah Geraghty (GEHR'-ah-tee), an attorney for inmates at
Donaldson prison near Birmingham, said Wednesday that previously
secret reports recently released by the Department of Corrections
show officials have failed to publicly report dozens of violent
Those records were released by the department in an inmate
lawsuit claiming Donaldson is overly dangerous because of
widespread violence among prisoners. Geraghty said the numbers
raise questions about conditions in other Alabama prisons.
A prison system spokesman says the agency is working on a
response to the claims.
Correctional officers are backing the prisoners in the lawsuit

Document ID: 117643
Updated: Jul 10, 2014
Contributed by Aaron Foss and Samuel Milstead, Cisco TAC Engineers.
This document describes how to perform a scripted rack-by-rack upgrade or activate a reload Software Maintenance Upgrade (SMU) on an ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router nV Edge cluster. A rack-by-rack upgrade might be used to install a new software release or a software patch (SMU) on each rack one at a time. Packet loss is minimized in the software upgrade for network topologies that incorporate cabling redundancy to each rack in the cluster.
As of the initial publication date of this document, May 2014, there are three supported methods to upgrade or activate a SMU on a cluster:
Method three is discussed in this document.
Note: It is not advisable to perform the rack-by-rack upgrade without the script.
Note: In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) is not supported on cluster even for SMU activation.
Packet loss varies based on scale and features, but is expected to be anywhere from 8s <> 180s.
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
Note: ASR 9001 support is added in Release 4.3.2. The script should not be used on the ASR 9001 in earlier releases.
Note: ASR 9001 support for Ethernet out-of-band channel (EOBC) Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) link flap history (Control Link Manager (CLM) Table version) is added in Release 5.1.0.
The information in this document is based upon two ASR 9001s, Cisco IOS XR Release 4.3.2 to 5.1.0, and an Ubuntu Linux workstation.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Note: Use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) in order to obtain more information on the commands used in this section.
Note: An ASR 9001 only has 1 console port per chassis.
Enter into KSH and copy the script to disk0:From exec mode type 'run' to enter KSH.Copy the file from /pkg/bin/ folder using the following command: cp /pkg/bin/nv_edge_upgrade.exp <destination> eg: cp /pkg/bin/nv_edge_upgrade.exp /disk0:After this the script can be copied off the router and modified.
