Helmet-cams help police crack down on crime
A London police unit is tackling anti-social behaviour using small helmet-mounted digital cameras. Officers in Haringey will use the cameras to gather digital images that can then be used as evidence in the event of court proceedings. The cameras will first be used as part of the five-day Operation Aventail, which will be carried out by the borough's Safer Neigbourhood unit and focus on anti-social behaviour. Detective superintendent Richard Wood, head of the operation, said in a statement: "Should anyone commit any offences the officers will instantly have the evidence to hand to help them apply for an ASBO or pursue criminal charges."

Shia LaBeouf Loves Life In 'Disturbia'
Sure, former Disney Channel actor Shia LaBeouf isn't making the covers of teen magazines pushing a new bubblegum pop album, but it suits the former "Even Stevens" star just fine. In fact, the star of the new suspense thriller "Disturbia" couldn't think of a more disturbing scenario. "I'm fortunate, especially after the Disney Channel thing. You can get locked into a 'High School Musical' route, put an album out -- it just really was never my thing," LaBeouf said in a recent @ The Movies interview. "I don't know if I really ever fit in there. I'm sort of the anomaly at that place. It's very one-note." LaBeouf, whose starred in such films as "Holes," "I, Robot," "The Greatest Game Ever Played" and "Bobby" since his "Even Stevens" days, is hardly biting the hand that fed him from 1999 through 2003.
