...number of homeless individuals in Cambridge has increased by almost 10 percent over the past two years, according to 2008 homeless census results released by Cambridge last week. However, these numbers do not necessarily correlate with escalating economic problems in Cambridge, said Fred Berman, the census’ coordinator. The 487 homeless persons counted by city census workers in January 2008 marks a 55 person increase from 2007, due mostly to a seven percent increase in homeless families living in Cambridge shelters. Berman said that the increase in homelessness is mostly a result of the beginning of a new transitional...
...Kinnear can return to exuding his trademark mixture of blithe assurance and brow-furrowing self-depreciation. For this attractive actor, it?s a blessing and a curse: he?s got the perfect romantic-comedy skills, but he?s in the one decade when the genre isn?t flourishing.

Everybody knows it.” She also complained that the press had propelled Fred Thompson’s candidacy, despite the fact that the public knew little about his political platforms. Edwards criticized the media’s focus on 15-20 second “zingers”—politicians’ sharp statements used to catch people’s attention...
...sound to it, and suddenly you have something completely immersive," says Stephen Walker, the director of Young @ Heart, a quirky (2-D) documentary about a New England senior citizens' chorus that covers songs by the Clash and James Brown. Walker shot 81-year-old Fred Knittle singing Coldplay's Fix You with five small cameras at a Massachusetts theater. Because it was both unobtrusive and ubiquitous, Walker's crew was able to capture Knittle's spare, moving performance--accompanied by the hissing of his oxygen tank--with a closeness that would have been impossible using giant film cameras...
