Police chiefs meet to tackle gang violence
TOP officers from 10 police forces are to meet in Glasgow to discuss the best ways to tackle gang and group violence. A one-day conference, hosted by the national Violence Reduction Unit, will look at tackling the fundamental causes of gang violence, such as drink, drugs and deprivation and providing alternatives for young people. However, Steve House, the new Chief Constable of Strathclyde Police - who has already pledged to tackle the problem - will not be speaking as the line-up was arranged before he was appointed. The conference, on Wednesday at Strathclyde University's Barony Hall, is the latest event in this year's anti-violence campaign, which is co-ordinated by the Violence Reduction Unit under the Safer Scotland banner. .
Daily Blabber Celebrity Gossip Blog from iVillage Entertainment
I can't vouch for this... He seemed to be very knowledgeable and he certainly was very nice. He said Britney was suffering from what he describes as mental issues which are treatable. He said that she has been to a psychiatrist and ... I assume she is starting some kind of treatment. She has been having mood swings. She has been having some kind of trouble sleeping." Sam also said that Brit is back to talking to her mom, and that Lynne Spears is in L.A. helping her daughter. So smart of Britney to have Sam call Barbara. Doesn't, like, the entire world trust what comes out of her mouth? Anyway, I hope it's true and the "psychiatrist" Britney is seeing isn't some sneaky paparazzo in disguise. .
Five Lakes Grill
For one thing, he's a what-you-see-is-what-you-get guy, and for another, his great passion for food is written all over his 30-year career in some of metro Detroit's best kitchens.
Polcyn, 45, is a chef's chef - the kind who still dry ages and butchers his own meats, buys fresh produce from folks who grow and gather it, makes stocks from roasted bones and meat and vegetables, cooks by the seasons, and practices old, seldom-used culinary arts like pate- and sausage-making.
What's most surprising, though, is that he does so at a restaurant so approachable and relatively affordable.
"Good food should be accessible to everybody," he often says. So rather than edgy dishes spawned by passing trends or high-end Continental fare that few people can afford, he offers eclectic, beautifully crafted entrees inspired by our Midwestern roots, priced mostly in the teens and $20s.
Starting Out in the Evening
The Magnolia at the Modern film series continues to offer a vital palette of moving pictures to broaden its contemporary art exposition. The series' works of solemnity or quirkiness, of historical note or modern interpretation, are always thought-provoking and tasty. This weekend's selection, Andrew Wagner's Starting Out in the Evening, based on Brian Wagner's novel, may bring to mind past cinematic simmerings between "September" authors and the "May" nubile lovelies that have come to stir their creative juicesLolita, Stealing Beauty and Wonder Boys. In Starting Out, Langella's aging literary master Schiller is 10 years into writing his last novel when a beautiful grad student Heather asks for his time to research a thesis on him. Penetrating research
that will re-enervate his dried-out working regimen.
Pirate Bay waters get choppy
In effect, The Pirate Bay is a global address book for copied and copyrighted material. It takes advantage of a program called BitTorrent, which makes it easy to share files among large groups of people. Each BitTorrent file comes with an addresss, a tracker, and it's the location of that address that The Pirate Bay publishes on its site. If you're outside the US and want the latest episode of Heroes, but don't want to wait until your own country's network buys it and shows it? No problem - you'll be able to find a copy on the Pirate Bay. Want a movie? Or an album? Or a copy of Photoshop? All are available just a few clicks away. The founders have never denied that what they are doing is facilitating the copying of material. Co-founder Peter Sunde, told Dan Simmons at the BBC's Click show last year: "If I want it, I take it, 'cause I can.
