America's weak response to Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic had led to war. The blockade of the harbor at Tripoli had resulted in the burning of the USS Philadelphia ...
Dealing with Yusuf Karamanli Pasha
While Preble was bombarding Tripoli, the American Consul to Tunis, William Eaton, was hatching a plot. Eaton was not sympathetic to the demands of the Barbary States. In June 1799 he wrote to the US Secretary of State describing the character of the local Muslim population:
"Taught by revelation that war with the Christians will guarantee the salvation of their souls, and finding so great secular advantages in the observance of this religious duty [i.e. keeping captured cargoes] their inducements to desperate fighting are very powerful."
Eaton, with additional support from James Cathcart, proposed to President Jefferson that they should back Hamet Karamanli, the elder brother of Yusuf Karamanli Pasha and the rightful heir to the regency, in a military coup. Eaton returned to the Mediterranean with the new title 'Navy Agent to the Barbary States' and permission to carry out his plans. Naval support was to be provided by Commodore Barron, who assigned Eaton the use of the Hero under the command of Captain Isaac Hull, and a small detachment of US Naval Marines. Three ships, the Argus, Nautilus, and Hornet, would be made available to ferry provisions and provide offshore bombardment.
Eaton entered into negotiations with Hamet after tracking him down in Egypt. Despite his family being held hostage by Yusuf in Tripoli, Hamet agreed to the plan. A 'convention' was signed between Hamet Karamanli and William Eaton on the 23rd of February, 1805, which included a 'secret' article:
"His Highness Hamet Bashaw will use his utmost exertions to cause surrender to the commander-in-chief of the American forces in the Mediterranean the usurper Joseph Bashaw, together with his family, and chief admiral ... to be held by the Government of the United States as hostages..."
To the shores of Tripoli
Eaton and Hull, based in Alexandria, recruited around 400 mercenaries, including Europeans (mainly Greeks), Arab cavalry, Turks, and a caravan of camels. They were promised supplies and money on arrival at their first target, the Tripolitan port of Derna. Eaton, now styling himself 'General', led the "motley" army on a fifty day trek across 500 miles of desert. He was not, however, confident about the relationship between his men (specifically Midshipman Peck and the seven naval marines led by Lieutenant Presley Neville O'Bannon) and the 200 odd Muslim mercenaries he had recruited:
"We find it almost impossible to inspire these wild bigots with confidence in us or to persuade them that, being Christians, we can be otherwise than enemies to Musselmen [Muslims]. We have a difficult undertaking." (Eaton's personal journal, 8 April 1805)
On the 25th of April they received limited supplies (they were particularly short of munitions) and funds (not enough to pay the mercenaries) at a rendezvous with the ships just down the coast from Derna. Two days later, 27 April, they attacked.
Attack on Derna
Recorded as the first land engagement of American troops outside the American continent, the battle at Derna has a particular place in the memory of the United States Marine Corps. The trek across the desert is commemorated in the first verse of the Marines' Hymn: "To the shores of Tripoli".
While Hamet and the Muslim mercenaries were supposedly attacking the castle at Derna, Lt. O'Bannon and his marines led the attack on the harbor fortress. At 2:45 pm, backed up by a large number of European mercenaries, and following an offshore bombardment, O'Bannon bravely rushed the harbor defenses. The defenders turned and ran - leaving cannon loaded and ready to fire. After raising the 'Stars and Stripes', O'Bannon turned the guns towards the town. By 4 pm the entire town had fallen.
Tradition has it that Hamet was so impressed by O'Bannon's bravery that he presented him with his own sword - an honor commemorated by the presentation of a 'Mameluke' sword, engraved with the legend 'The Shores of Tripoli', to every US Marine Officer on graduation or direct commission.
Eaton's attack on Derna was a success, but back in Tripoli a new treaty was being formed by Colonel Tobias Lear, the Consul General to the Regency of Algiers and Yusuf Karamanli Pasha. The treaty was signed on 4 June 1805 and required Eaton to immediately evacuate Derna ...

I checked broncosports.com and the govandals.com sites as well as idahotickets.com and none of them show the game tickets as being available for purchase. Is it going to be a "buy at the door" event? I would think that they would be marketing it a ton and trying to sell the tickets everywhere. Is the game off? Is the game sold out? What gives?

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A Baton Rouge woman has pleaded not guilty to counts of second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to a juvenile in the death of her 11 month old daughter.
Ashley Heard, 28, pleaded not guilty Friday, after she was indicted by an East Baton Rouge Parish grand jury earlier in the week.
Authorities say 11 month old Aaliyah Heard died in June of blunt-force head trauma. The child's father, Larry Leflore, 26, was booked with first-degree murder after the killing, but the grand jury was not asked to consider evidence against him.
District Attorney Hillar Moore III says Leflore's involvement is still being investigated and will be presented to the grand jury soon. Moore wouldn't say what evidence prompted the grand jury to charge Heard with murder.

MacInnes' Marathon Ends With Bronze At Scotties
By 250 Sports
Victoria's Kesa Van Osch (left) looks to dethrone Kelowna's Kelly Scott in tomorrow's gold medal game 250Sports file photo
Prince George, BC - The final has been set at the BC Scotties Tournament of Hearts...
The Victoria rink skipped by Kesa Van Osch took tonight's semi-final with a 10-2 win over Abbotsford's Allison MacInnes, earning the right to face defending champion Kelly Scott in tomorrow's 5pm gold medal game at the Prince George Golf & Curling Club. Van Osch finished first overall in the standings after the round robin, with an 8-and-1 record, to Scott's 7-and-2, but lost 8-6 to the reigning BC champ in Friday night's Page playoff game. The win gave Scott a bye into tomorrow's final.
Tonight's defeat ended a marathon performance by the MacInnes foursome, who had to played a total of four games yesterday - after losing the final round robin game, the rink went on to win three tie-breakers, finishing just before midnight, to advance to this morning's Page playoff game. (Photo at right shows MacInnes in the final tie-breaker, where she edged Tracey Jones of Prince George 6-5.)
This morning's game saw MacInnes down Prince George's Patti Knezevic 12-6 to advance to tonight's semi final. Skip Allison MacInnes, Third Grace MacInnes, Second Diane Gushulak, and Lead Amanda Tipper accepted their bronze medals this evening. The rink earned its berth at the BC Women's Provincial Curling Championship through their ranking in the Canadian Team Ranking System.

When Freida Pinto stepped out last month in Gucci, all eyes went to her hot pink suit. I, however, was looking straight at her lapel. The actress's butterfly brooch completely altered her ensemble and added unexpected glamour to her menswear. A winged creature, this time an acetate and crystal dragonfly, has the same effect on Gucci's black suede clutch. Much like Pinto, my transformation would be complete with this graceful accessory.

As the end draws near you think, "OK, what was fun in all that?"
This was one of my favorite columns to do, practically ever. It ran in 2000:
Wasatch Rambler
This is so great. In a slightly round-about way, I helped two people get together.
Faithful readers may recall that back in July of 1997 I brought you the story of Patti Howell.
Patti was lonely. A divorcee at 45, she had found the selection of potential mates very slim.
Part of it was she is LDS and deeply religious. She didn't want to date anyone who wasn't.
Part of it was she was working three jobs. Spare time, even to go to LDS singles wards, was scarce.
So she seized the beast by the throat and took out a personal ad:
"If you're 45-55, want new friend/ possible eternal companion, meet me at the Ogden Temple door," and it gave a day and a date.
Intrigued by the idea of an LDS temple as a rendezvous spot, I went to see what happened. There she was, all 4'9 of her, in a black dress and lace collar, smiling to beat the band.
And there was a guy there. A guy more than six feet tall. They made a lovely couple, if somewhat unbalanced.
Did he and Patti hit it off and live happily ever after?
Nope. They dated three times, she fixed him dinner once, and then he quit calling.
Patti handled it well.
"I had a good time with him," she said last week. "I called him after I hadn't heard from him and he said "I'll call you,' but he didn't and that was fine. He wasn't meant to."
And for a darned good reason. A friend of hers had seen my story about her dating problems. That friend knew a guy who worked at the Ogden LDS temple who was also single and suggested he give Patti a shot.
He did, and wow. We're talking magic here.
He is Frances Dupaix (pronounced Due-pay), 78, who lives in Layton. His first wife of many years had died a year before and he was both as lonely and as deeply religious as Patti.
Frances said he can't say precisely why he liked Patti. Just a feeling that it was right, he said.
Patti said things moved fast. "We had a few dates, got engaged in February (1998), married in April and went on a mission in July."
A mission for a honeymoon?
"That was the second question he asked me after he proposed, would I like to go on a mission?" Turns out, a mission was one of her dreams.
They just got back last week from Luxemburg, serving out of the Belgium Brussels mission. His ancestors are from Luxemburg and the church had them set up a Family History Center there, so they had a really good time.
Now back, they plan to spend some time working at the church's family history library in Salt Lake City. Then it will be off on another mission, they hope.
It all worked out for Patti, just as she planned.
When I talked to Patti in 1997 she said she picked the Ogden temple as a meeting place because anyone who'd go to a temple session is a great guy.
Have fun kids. Enjoy your lives together. Glad I could help.

The notable commercial implications of Rob Cohen's Alex Cross are twofold: It's the first film wherein Tyler Perry has led a cast that he isn't also writing for and directing, and also serves as a reboot of a potentially hugely profitable franchise, that of the series of novels by James Patterson focusing on the titular detective and forensic psychologist. Considering both Perry and Patterson's reputations as media barons, Alex Cross comes to theaters with the distinct timbre of a merger rather than a singular entertainment.
The all-too-familiar facets of popular action entertainments are as plain as day in the film. Explosions, car crashes, implied savagery, shootings and shoot-outs, brutal beatings and cleverly impossible tactics are strewn across the screen, and at the center is a rather by-the-books game of cat and mouse between the eponymous hero (Perry) and an ultra-sadistic killer for here known only as the Butcher, played by an ultra-hammy Matthew Fox. Aided by longtime best friend and partner Tommy Kane (Ed Burns), Cross's hunt through Detroit for the Butcher turns toward vengeful obsession when, thwarted during a planned assassination of tycoon Leon Mercier (Jean Reno) and his minions, the Butcher tortures and slaughters Kane's girlfriend, fellow agent Monica Ashe (Rachel Nichols), and merely kills Cross's pregnant wife, Maria (Carmen Ejogo).
Based very loosely on Patterson's Cross, the script suggests a clattering collision of Perry's preachy ideals and the shallow, cowardly, and violent theatrics that have come to define Cohen's filmography thus far. Expositional and often self-serious to the point of genuine awkwardness, the dialogue is never as haltingly unconvincing as when it's attempting to give some approximation of Cross's essential looseness and good humor. As the film rushes toward Cross's climactic face-off with the Butcher and his mysterious employer, the bounty of characters that Williamson and Moss introduce throughout the film sadly take on the roles of dull, intermittently strong-armed supporters or dangerous, dumb non-believers.
Thankfully, at least two of the characters are played by excellent actors, namely Cicely Tyson, as Cross's salty Nana Mama, and Giancarlo Esposito, as a Detroit crime lord with which Cross has a history. Perry's scenes with Tyson and especially his scene with Esposito ring of genuine connection, which is to say that no matter how earnest and stunningly wrongheaded these exchanges are, the characters do feel as if they have history and real knowledge of one another. And though Perry is, per usual, an abysmal dramatic performer, aggressively feigning looseness and intellect in ways that only highlight a certain basic insecurity about his own looseness and intellect, his very presence gives the film a unique, if distinctly unsure, tone.
As unsteady as the tone is, the film shows a consistently repugnant attitude in its thematic undercurrents. There's something unmistakably misogynistic and irksome about the way that the Butcher's most ruthless, painful exterminations are saved for women, and one can't help but notice how the righteous Cross refers to souls and Hell while the Butcher only refers to physical pain and Confucius. But the film proves to be truly careless and hypocritical in its view of violence, particularly in the sense that Cross's vigilantism is seen as unquestionably good. Neither the script nor Cohen's direction suggest any sense of moral struggle in the frankly criminal lengths that Cross goes to in his pursuit of the Butcher, and when Nana brings up this fact, Cross feels obliged to more or less tell her to shut up and stay out of his business. His furious reaction is portrayed as an affirmation, rather than a condemnation, of his brutish vengefulness.
This is somewhat surprising new ground for Perry, but it doesn't seem to be a decision made out of any pure impulse. Indeed, Alex Cross is calculated in every single movement of its mechanism to appeal to the action-driven male demographic that's proven absent in Perry's audience thus far. Kiss the Girls, which saw Morgan Freeman as an older, wiser, and humane Cross, isn't a great movie, but it moves with an easy finesse, considers the burdens of its genre, and has the charisma of a pulpy detective story. Alex Cross, on the other hand, sees detective work as merely a portal through which to dispense one's own personal, infallible sense of justice, rather than one serving a public good, and takes no toll of the real consequences of such thinking. Not long into the film, Perry's Cross calms a worried target not to overthink, that he is "just trying to catch a bad guy." If only.

Spontaneity provides control over daily schedule
If you let your schedule do the talking, what would it say? If you wrote down everything you did every day for one week, you'd find that there are certain things you always do at particular times — a ritual, so to speak. But not in a compulsive sense; think of it as an activity pattern. For example, before going to class, you head to Jazzman's for X drink and Y food or any combination thereof. Those are the patterns of activity that I'm referencing here.
I'm in no way about to suggest that you should break out of your patterns because you're somehow a slave to a developed routine that works for your life or that you should feel guilty about balancing your responsibilities and such or even that relying on certain substances or objects to get you through is wrong. (Coffee and an iPod, anyone?)
I'm merely suggesting you break out of your pattern, at least every now and again. Take a miniature vacation from your prefigured responsibilities and do things you wouldn't normally do. Even better is doing the things you normally would at different times.
One seems to find control in following a routine, but for me, my day comprises the things I have to get done. I call it my "today list" not my "to do list" because I tend to get ahead of myself sometimes. But having a set program to follow, avoiding it and still accomplishing the things on my list creates a stronger feeling of control. I guess it's the equivalent to the muscle confusion fitness technique, but in this case a more fitting title would be schedule confusion.
I don't own a car in Oregon, so when I have things to take care of before or between classes those things are planned into my day —that's simple and nothing out of the ordinary, right? But with me, once it's in my plan — the one I make sure is logical and time efficient so as to avoid unnecessarily trekking across campus from the Legacy Apartments down to the mailroom — I have trouble seeing an alternative plan. Everything is set in place as if I can't take care of things any other way.
That may come off as slightly neurotic, but I'm convinced that I'm not solo in terms of this technique. I'm also sure that when a person plans out his or her day, that person doesn't also list out how many different ways the day's tasks can be accomplished. Usually, the original plan is the master plan, and there's no need to determine the best-case scenario for getting errands done.
Should there be, though, a bonus for sorting out the most efficient game plan? I think that there already is a bonus, hence the aforementioned feelings of control, not to mention efficiency and a tidge of pride.
Perhaps what I have failed to mention thus far is how seldom the best-case scenario arises. It usually happens on a whim, like when I've forgotten to do something while I'm on my way to do something else. I realize that I can make some quick adjustments and still come out on top despite my mind's tendency to adhere to a specific order.
The potential to optimize one's schedule should not be undervalued; it leaves us open to new things and situations, sharpens our focus and planning skills and helps us think on our feet. In my case, rearranging the order in which I accomplish the day's tasks gives me the feeling that I am the boss and that I make my schedule —not the opposite.

A funny thing happened on the way to this league championship for the Skyview baseball team.
The hype was there early, with so much talent returning to the Storm. This team, the baseball community said, was tops in Southwest Washington.
Only, it did not start out that way.
"We let it get to our heads at the beginning of the season," said Ian Hamilton, the team's top pitcher.
No one from Skyview is complaining about that now.
"It's hard sometimes," added Brayden Maney, one of the team's biggest bats. "You become bigheaded. You think you're too good. We went 1-3 at the start of the season. It made us realize we weren't as good as we thought we were."
The Storm went back to work after those non-league losses, then worked out those early season frustrations on the rest of the Class 4A Greater St. Helens League. Skyview earned the No. 1 seed for this week's district tournament by going 14-1 in league play, and had clinched the title with a few days left in the regular season.
"We really started coming together as a team, and we blew through the league," Hamilton said.
This is Skyview's third consecutive league title. This one might mean a little more because the league, from top to bottom, is more talented that in past seasons, Storm coach Eric Estes said.
While every team has at least one solid pitcher, and every team has several quality position players, Skyview probably has the most of everything a baseball team needs.
Maney was hitting .386 with 18 RBIs, 15 runs, and 11 doubles going into Friday's regular-season finale. The Storm are not lacking in offense.
Still, Estes said pitching depth has been key to his team's success.
"Everybody we roll out is a pitcher," Estes said. "We don't roll out a position player who can throw sometimes."
Last week, the league concluded with four games in one week. Estes said that was perfect for his team, getting all of his players some innings. The Storm started Austin Greene, Hamilton, Mav Yamaguchi, and Adam Walker.
The more guys who can pitch at a quality level means less of a workload for any one individual. That, the team hopes, will be a big plus in the postseason.
"Our pitching staff definitely has a lot more confidence that we had last year," said Hamilton said, who is 5-1 with a 1.60 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 35 innings. "That's going to carry over into district and the playoffs."
The Storm rarely get themselves in any trouble.
"We just haven't walked anybody this year," Estes said. "If you do that and play any type of defense, you should be alright."
The Storm have walked 29 batters in 126 innings and have struck out 116.
The quality arms puts less pressure on the Skyvew bats, too.
"It's so nice," Maney said. "You know if you don't have the best of games (hitting), you still have pitching. It makes it a lot easier on everybody."
A year ago, the Storm reached the state regionals for the first time in the program's history, but lost in the round of 16.
Can this team do even better?
Yes, but Hamilton is a little cautious. He does not want him nor his teammates to make the same mistakes they made at the beginning of the season. Hype is only good if a team can back up the hype.
"I don't want to jinx us or anything, but we decide our own fate," Hamilton said. "As long as we don't think we're too good, and we play how we should ... we can win."
"We have the ability to win state," Maney concluded. "We definitely have the personnel. We have to play up to our expectations."

when you find that your [quarter] season's tickets are behind someone so tall that you end up with sore neck muscles from turning side to side see around him?
"Excuse me, sir, would you mind removing your head so I can see?"
I don't know if they have season's tickets, but am assuming so as the family next to me (that I quite liked - even their baby girl was wearing a Przy jersey) have the same weekend package I have.

Is everyone tiring of Jack Wilson?
From the Post-Gazette game story of Sunday's 13-6 loss:"Tremendous game," Tracy said of Castillo. "Two highlight-reel plays, and another routine ground ball that he fielded ... you know, like you like to see a player field a routine ground ball."
I may be reading waaay between the lines here, but there are some who think there is no routine play that Jack Wilson won't try to turn into a web gem. Jack Wilson looks, to me, like he rushes everything. It's like he's creating the illusion of every play being tough, unless it's hit right at him.
And then there was the thing with Gorzo Friday night, where Gorzo asked him on the field what his problem was after a non-effort by Wilson. They both said later that "they're on the same page." My guess is they had a private meeting that went something like this:
Gorz: So you're Jack Wilson.
Wilson: What's that mean to you?
Gorz: I've heard about you, Wilson.
Wilson: What have you heard?
Gorz: That you're a no-good Yankee liar.
Wilson: ... Prove it.
Gorz: POW! POW! POW! POW!

Notes: Lincecum sent to Minors
Sanchez stands out among relievers; Bochy faces former team
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Announcing a move Sunday that had been anticipated for weeks, the Giants reassigned Tim Lincecum to Minor League camp, where he'll prepare to begin the season with Triple-A Fresno.The next step, of course, is waiting for Lincecum to return. "When I come up," he said, "that'll be my time." Barring injuries to anyone in the starting rotation, that won't happen immediately. The Giants are extremely content with their front five of Barry Zito, Matt Cain, Matt Morris, Noah Lowry and Russ Ortiz. Lincecum has only eight games of regular-season professional experience since being selected in the first round of last June's First-Year Player Draft, so the Giants want the right-hander to gain savvy before summoning him to the Majors. "I think it's for the best," Lincecum said of his demotion. "They told me not to think about [ascending to the Majors] too much. I wasn't planning on it." But the Giants have big plans for Lincecum, particularly after they watched the 22-year-old display his impressive fastball-curveball combination. His side sessions early in camp became required viewing for club executives and any veteran who happened to have free time. The right-hander's 6.43 ERA in three Cactus League appearances belied the impression he made with his repertoire and poise. "He can be the next Matt Cain of this staff," shortstop Omar Vizquel said. "He seems to have great stuff. Obviously he has to learn a little more, but he has shown these guys he can do the job on a high level." "We're not changing anything with this kid," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He threw well this spring. He's just getting a little more seasoning." Lincecum took heart in his improved control. Fulfilling his intent to follow one of baseball's basics -- throwing strikes -- he issued one walk and struck out seven in seven innings. "That was always a problem in college, walking the frickin' world," said the University of Washington product. If the Giants' rotation struggles, the demand for Lincecum will rise among San Francisco fans. Such was the case in 2005, when the Giants let Cain steep in Fresno until late August. Lincecum has no idea whether he, too, will receive a late-season promotion. "I'd like to," he said. "But if I'm not, I'm not going to kick myself in the head." Lincecum's departure left 36 players in Major League camp, 11 above the Opening Day limit. Bochy said that the Giants will take this group to San Francisco for the slate of four consecutive Bay Area exhibitions beginning Thursday against Seattle at AT&T Park. Final roster cuts, Bochy added, will come next Sunday. Silver lining: The Giants absorbed their spring-high sixth consecutive defeat and 12th in their last 15 exhibitions, a 10-7 loss to the San Diego Padres in Peoria, Ariz.

There have been tons of potential trades that fellow Rumblers have posted here in the past few weeks. Now that the draft is here, I figured it is time to share my trade predictions for the Bills, and encourage everyone else to post some of their trade thoughts. Maybe one of us will be right and look like a genius.
- Bills trade the #9 overall pick to the San Fransisco 49er's for picks #17 and #79. The 49ers top priority is to get an OT, and there is no guarantee that any of the top 4 (Okung, Bulaga, Williams, Davis) will be there at #13. The Bills take Tebow at #17, and choose to address OT in the 2nd round (Saffold, Campbell, etc.).
- Bills trade Marshawn Lynch to the Lions for the 100th pick in the draft. Lynch fills a need for Detroit, and the Bills get a top 100 pick.
- Bills trade picks #9, #72, and Marshawn Lynch to the Lions for the #2 pick and select Ndamakung Suh. This fills the Bills need at NT, as a multiple Pro-Bowler and the anchor of the Bills defense for years to come.
Post your feedback or your own trade projections here.

The Tulsa 66ers are used to having players called up to the NBA. But now, they've lost their coach to the big leagues.
The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Monday they have hired Nate Tibbetts to serve as an assistant on the staff of head coach Byron Scott.
Dale Osbourne has been promoted to head coach of the 66ers, who are off to a 4-and-1 start in the D-League this season.
In two full seasons as Tulsa's head coach, Tibbetts was 60-and-40 and took the 66ers to the playoffs both seasons, including an appearance in the 2010 D-League Finals.
Tibbetts also served as head coach of Team USA during the recent 2011 Pan American Games, leading the team to the bronze medal, the first medal for the U.S. since 1999.

Profile in Courage
Shorthanded, Saku Koivu stickhandles down the right wing with Colorado defenseman Adam Foote obstructing the path between the Canadiens' 5-foot-10 pivot and goalie Patrick Roy. Montreal winger Mariusz Czerkawski shadows Koivu. You process his options. Drop pass, you figure.
Instead, Koivu darts to the outside on Foote, four inches and 33 pounds his superior. Once gaining the edge – meaning one zig to the right of the 12-year veteran – Koivu zags left, a fraction of a second later zipping a wrist shot past Foote and between Roy and the near post.
It is a Saturday night during the preseason, and the Canadiens, now leading 3-1, are in Quebec City for a nostalgic dance with the Avalanche at Le Colisee, their first return trip since moving to Colorado in 1995. Earlier, the sellout crowd of 15,339 stood, united in jeering first sight of the blue-blanc-et-rouge. "These fans have been waiting seven years to boo the Canadiens," Florida scout Ron Harris, a former Nordiques' assistant, had remarked.
Now, the same fans stand and applauded. Not so much with vigor as with respect and admiration.
How could they boo a man – even if his line of work is captaining Montreal – who withstood eight rounds of chemotherapy last winter to beat abdominal cancer? Who last spring with only three games of regular-season conditioning withstood the rigors of a six-game playoff series to not only play every night, but contribute as Montreal beat Boston.
Through six games of that series and a six-game loss to Carolina, Koivu finished tied with Doug Gilmour and Donald Audette for the team high in playoff points. The high-scoring forward finished with 10 points off four goals and six assists, which was also tied for tops on the Habs.
"Would we have done the same without him?" teammate Joe Juneau said. "Probably not."
Koivu's offensive outburst – none more dramatic than a go-ahead third-period goal that shifted the series momentum in Game 3 vs. the Bruins – solidified the 27-year-old Finn as a Montreal legend. Simply returning made him an international icon.
A season later, it is clear that Koivu's bout with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma – ironically often abbreviated NHL – makes one thing impossible, both for opposing fans and Koivu's teammates.
"We try to look at Saku like nothing ever happened to him," Juneau said.
"I'm sure there is some different perspective and the guys think of me differently," Koivu said earlier that day following a morning skate. "But like I said last year, when I put the skates on and come into this room and play with the Canadiens, I am one of the guys."
On paper, he may be. Simply one of 25, the lone Finn among 16 Canadians, two Czechs, two Russians, two Americans, a Swede and a Pole. In reality, Koivu is the impeccable centerpiece of a proud franchise.
In the dressing room, he is intelligent, well spoken and affable, making him a natural leader and the go-to source for beat writers. On the ice, he is nothing short of Montreal's best skater (a locked-in Jose Theodore being its best player). Koivu skates on a still-evolving first line, on the power play and shorthanded. On Oct. 19, in a 2-2 tie versus Toronto, Koivu logged 20:31 – second only among forwards to Juneau – and finished plus-1.
During the third period, Koivu nearly hooked up with Richard Zednik, a speedy 26-year-old who totaled a career-high 44 points last season and is poised to up that playing with Koivu, an adept passer (0.54 assists per game career). Parked behind the Leaf cage, Koivu chipped a pass to Zednik, who just missed beating Ed Belfour. The end result drew the crowd's attention, underscoring the reality that few in the game can pass as well through the air in limited space as Koivu.

My fellow Bank of America customers, lend me your ears! No longer do you need to sit in embarrassed silence as Chase Bank and PayPal users show off the ability to deposit checks magically through their smartphones. Now you too can revel in the futuristic technology of 2011, having waited only a year for the largest banking institution in the country to update its Android app in line with non government-subsidized competitors.
After a period of limited beta testing, Citibank officially announced today that remote check deposits can now be done using its mobile app for Android. Just snap a picture of the check, and it's deposited remotely. The deposit limit seems to be $1,000 per day (at least it was during the beta), so it won't replace going to a local branch to deposit your paycheck just yet for some of you.

On Monday's edition of The MMA Hour, Coker said that the organization had already planned to match both fighters up, and despite the ugly brawl, that plan is still firmly in place.
"I think 'Mayhem' versus Nick Diaz was a fight we were going to promote anyway," Coker said. "It was just going to be a matter of time. So I think that fight will happen."
Diaz is currently the Strikeforce welterweight champion, while Miller competes in the organization's middleweight division. Coker did not say which weight class the fight would be contested in.
Asked whether the next time we see Miller and Diaz will be against each other, Coker simply responded:
"I believe that fight will happen probably in the next eight months to a year."
According to Coker, both Miller and Diaz have been suspended for 90 days and fined by the Tennessee Athletic Commission for their involvement in the brawl. He said he has asked everyone penalized by the commission to agree to the terms so that the punishment does not drag out. The suspension is not retroactive to April 17, the date of the brawl.
(Ed. note: watch Coker's appearance on The MMA Hour below).

Last week @gappy3000 shared the Bank of International Settlements' autumn 2011 assessment of the impact of high-frequency trading on foreign exchange (currency) markets.
For the lazy, here's a summary of the executive summary:
HFT in FX operates on high volume but small order sizes, low margins, low latency (… milliseconds) and short risk holding periods (… well under five seconds). …[I]t occurs mainly in the most liquid currencies.…
Market functioning: HFT['s] impact on … FX market[s] … could be seen as beneficial in normal times. HFT helps to distribute liquidity across the decentralised market, improving efficiency, and has narrowed spreads…. Questions remain about HFT[s'] … willingness to provide liquidity … under [stressed] market conditions. … That said, recent experience suggests that HFT participants are not … flightier than traditional participants in times of market stress….Systemic risks: The 6 May 2010 "flash crash" in equities suggests that systemic risk is … more likely to be triggered by a "rogue" algorithmic trade than by pure HFT, which tends to involve small-size trades, short horizons and diverse strategies. Nonetheless, HFT may … propagate shocks initiated elsewhere….Market integrity and competition: Many of the "predatory" or "unfair" practices attributed to HFT participants … are in fact not new. HFT is but the latest high-tech, high-speed manifestation of them.

Here's something curious about lawyers. Locally they fight negative-sum games — effectively, expending resources fighting over the division of a non-increasing good.
Globally, however, the effect of lawyers is positive-sum. Without a justice system, grievances would not be heard, property rights would not be enforced, and the world would be worse off.
So … a space with locally negative curvature and globally positive curvature … hmm, how can that work?

"A Room with a View"
JENNY BEAVAN AND JOHN BRIGHT, Designers
Designed for Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham Carter) in "A Room with a View" (1986). Directed by James Ivory. Circa 1905-08.
Bodice of machine-embroidered voile with appliquéd sprigs, cotton eyelet collar, yoke and cuffs. Silk waistband and linen skirt.
This costume was worn by Honeychurch in a scene at home in England. Many costume designers, like Jenny Beavan and John Bright, create complete closets, sometimes with interchangeable parts, for their characters rather than separate outfits to be worn only once in a film. This skirt was seen earlier in the film on Honeychurch in Italy, as part of a two-piece dress.

Part of 1676 Map - A New Description of Carolina
Map Courtesy George Howard
Map Courtesy George Howard
In 1653, over fifty years before Farnifold Green's land grant, it appears that his grandfather, Reverend Roger Green, had been granted his 1000-acre choice of 10,000 acres on the south side of the Chowan River. The 1676 "Description of Carolina" map notes land between the Pamlico and the Neuse Rivers as "Green's Land."
During the reign of Queen Anne, Farnifold Green, who came from Virginia in 1697, had a 1700-acre plantation on the north side of the Neuse River. In 1707/1708 Green obtained a land patent from the eight Lords Proprietors—780 acres. This choice land was described as "beginning at the mouth of Core River, running up the river and creek 245 poles to a pine, then east 345 poles to a gum, then north eighty degrees east 45 poles to a pine at North River, then down the river to the mouth 420 poles, then along the sound to the first station."
Part of Green's land grant, in the vicinity of Cape Lookout and present-day Beaufort, was home to the Coree (Coranine or Cwarewiock) Indians.
Part of Green's land grant, in the vicinity of Cape Lookout and present-day Beaufort, was home to the Coree (Coranine or Cwarewiock) Indians.
It is believed Green may have established an outpost on his land grant about 1709. The few scattered pioneers in the Core Sound area probably built small make-shift houses and began to fish and farm...but there was no town.
It is also believed by many that Farnifold Green was the person who built the "White House" seen on early maps. After all, he owned the land and may have built it as an outpost, a place to stay while in the area and perhaps provide a small inn for travelers. The location of the "White House" was on or near the same footprint as the current Hammock House, however, the Hammock House may have been built much later.

Gailey gains respect for Bills' improvement
The Bills could have easily have given up all hope for the season after a slow start, but head coach Chan Gailey has the team playing hard.
Williams did not miss any time after the Buffalo Bills high-priced defensive end had what the team called "a procedure" to relieve discomfort in his injured left wrist.||||||| Coach Chan Gailey provided the update Wednesday, saying he expects Williams to return to practice next week once the Bills return from their bye weekend off. Gailey, was otherwise, very short on specifics in sharing any other details regarding the status of the NFL's highest-paid defensive player. Williams signed a six-year, $100 million contract with Buffalo in March.
The NFL has fined the Washington Redskins and Buffalo Bills $20,000 each for violating league procedures on reporting injuries.||||||| The Bills failed to list Williams on the injury report while he was being treated for a sprained left wrist. Williams said Oct. 3 that the wrist had been bothering him and limiting his effectiveness. The league said he should have been on the injury report - he has been the last two weeks.
Williams had two sacks for the Bills in Sunday's 19-16 OT win over Arizona.||||||| Williams had 1 1/2 sacks in the first five games.
The NFL is investigating whether Buffalo defensive end Mario Williams has an injured left wrist. Williams has not been on the Bills' injury report this season despite what he claims has been a wrist injury that has bothered him all season. But the team says he has not missed any practices or game time.||||||| NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday that "the club says he is not injured. We will follow up this week to obtain a formal explanation."
Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams has a new home and at least 53 new fans. By closing on a $2 million deal to purchase a mansion in suburban Buffalo, the Bills' high-priced free-agent addition helped a group of creditors recoup about $500,000 they were cheated out of by the home's former owner, William F. Savino says.||||||| Savino is a Buffalo-based attorney representing 53 people swindled out of more than $3 million by Kenneth Bernas, a former lawyer who was convicted in 2010 of larceny and identity theft. Bernas is serving a 2 1/3- to seven-year jail sentence and used some of the money he stole to build the 9,000-plus square-foot mansion in 2005. The Buffalo News first reported Williams' purchase this week.

Step 2. Using two forks, toss, as you would a salad, until shallots and cheese are evenly coated in the flour.
Step 3. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the crabmeat, just enough to evenly incorporate it into the cheese mixture. You don't want to break up or mash the big lumps of crabmeat.
Step 4. Sprinkly a light coating of flour evenly over bottom of prepared pastry shell. Gently spoon the crabmeat mixture into shell. Distribute the mixture evenly, mounding it slightly towards the center, but do not compress the mixture or press down. You want it to remain light and airy.
Step 5. In measuring container, whisk together the eggs, cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper sauce, nutmeg and white pepper.
Slowly drizzle cream mixture over and around the top surface of the crab mixture. Go slowly, so as to give the liquid time to drizzle down into the cracks and crevices of the light and airy crab mixture.
Step 6. The quiche is now ready to bake on center rack of preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes.
Quiche will be golden brown, puffed throughout and a knife inserted into the center will come out clean.
Remove from oven and cool on rack, about 30-60 minutes, prior to slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
As always, there is plenty more at Kitchen Encounters including Mmm…..Bacon and Egg Spinach Salad and Homemade French Salad Dressing. Plus, don't forget to submit whatever questions you have for Q&A Friday.

They call themselves the Woolfpack Warriors; they're fighting to keep Sam Woolf alive on Idol.
"With all the honks, I think it's definitely got a lot of votes," said Gianna Traylor, a classmate.
The Braden River High senior has made it to the lucky top seven, but it's been a battle as of late. He's found himself at the bottom on a few occasions.
Two weeks ago, he was nearly booted off the show, luckily for him he was saved by the judges It was the biggest moment of the season thus far.
"He's been doing great. I think it's a lot of stress on someone our age; he's been handling it so well," Traylor said.
"I've seen him be crazy with his friends. I think he needs to show America he's a teenager and likes to have fun," said Rachel Katzen.
The Woolfpack hopes with their help and Sam's voice, he'll finish season 12 as the next American Idol.
"We sure hope he can. That's why we're out here," said assistance principal Don French.
"Sam's great. He's got perfect pitch, and he's the all American guy," said Victoria Deoliveira, a classmate.
All he needs now are the votes. We'll find out tonight if Sam makes it into the top 6. You can watch American Idol on FOX 13.

text: MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Whether you are in favor of the new plan or not, open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act starts October 1, 2013.At a local healthcare meeting in Monroe, patients with and without health insurance discussed the ACA or Obamacare, with healthcare representatives."Most people who are uninsured actually have jobs," says Tony Garr with Get Covered America/Enroll America, "and the primary reason the don't sign up is because they can't afford it."After much debate the last few years, Obamacare has been signed, sealed, and will be delivered on January 1, 2014. Open enrollment starts in October, and Garr says this program is providing a new opportunity for the uninsured."The first thing we would encourage people to do to go online to Healthcare.gov, and see what's available," says Garr. At the web site Healthcare.gov, someone looking for health insurance can enroll, starting in October, then see each coverage plan that best suits them.Many that already have insurance, are asking how this will affect them."About a thousand dollars of your health insurance premiums, goes to paying for the uninsured," says Garr, "and so once we get everyone insured, this cost shifting that goes on in today's world, will go away."Tony Garr believes the ACA not only is a new choice for the uninsured, but is a stable fall back plan for everyone else."Always know that you can always get health insurance elsewhere," says Garr "and you will never be turned down again because of a pre-existing condition."For more, visit Healthcare.gov to start an account or to enroll starting in October.

Yeah, will do that.................
OK what do you want to know? It's quite a long file, so unless I can get a dump uf it it'll take a few mins to type it all out.
07-04-2010 12:13
07-04-2010 15:08
rootfs is showing 25.4M free, bearing in mind I've got a load of other stuff installed.
Not sure if any running widgets will have any effect on it, but I've got Accuweather, Desktop slideshow, Mediaplayer, GPE Calendar and a few other little ones running.
07-04-2010 15:20
Ouchy! no upgrading to PR1.2 for you then!!
Seeing as you're a heavy user (assuming rootfs is so low) do you fancing being another gunea pig? My frequently used debug script can generate a report of what is using the rootfs space on a device... kind of listing the guilty packages.. Would you mind running this on your phone?
Could you download this file on your phone
and save it into the documents folder
Then open an x terminal and run
sh MyDocs/.documents/debug.sh
It will take about 30 mins to complete and will produce a file called debug.tgz on your phone's mass storage. Can you post that file back here as an attachment (you might need to rename it to .txt) or email it to me at the address given when the script finishes running..
I'll send you back a list of packages that are eating space on your rootfs.. I did this in another thread last week and I'm keen to see out of the dev/testing packages you're using which are the most greedy/naughty
Feel free to say no, though.. I'm not trying to do anything other than satisfy my own curiosity
08-04-2010 8:29
I'll get back to you later today with some info.
But out of my own curiosity. How easy would it be for the OS developers to increase the amount of memory available to the rootfs? And would it be possible to install apps to the memory card instead of the phone memory, or even increase the amount of app memory on device?
Now I've got a 4GB memory card, most of the 32GB device memory seems wasted.
08-04-2010 10:14
The rootfs itself sits on a seperate flash device.. the 32gig storage is like an SD card.. and the machine accesses it in the same way.. the rootfs, however, sits on raw flash memory.. this works in a very different way.. and its small.. 256meg..
The thing is, you shouldn't need lots of root space, since packages should install in /opt (which is on the emmc) I maintained packages for a large newspaper a few years ago, and all of them were "optified"
All packages will use a little root space.. but I'm taking a few kbytes.. and if you've got 50meg free, thats a LOT of space for the little they'll use
To relocate the rootfs, you'd have to look at creating a new partition (or filesystem) on the emmc.. then switching from the original root onto the new root at boot time.. the theory is simple, but engineering an existing system to do it is a pain and easy to get wrong..
pivot-root is the feature.. for example, it would allow /home to become / and / to beome /home (swap location)
The other thing to consider is that the emmc is slower than the root storage
08-04-2010 10:19
I'm not entirely sure but I don't hink you can install apps to the Memory card or the Media side of the mass memory because of the File system type used.
On AbiWord. When I tried this once it ate up MB of root and not just KB. I think it was about 6-10MB if I remember correctly

So if i can interject here, is abiword not recommended?
08-04-2010 18:35 - edited 08-04-2010 18:37
I'm second thinking maybe not at the moment. Not until they get around to optifying it (if I've got the right wording).
But I suppose it was a good exercise to see what the beast was capable of.
Just running the debug script through mine now, see what comes back.
08-04-2010 20:09
Here ya go Chris. One debug output file.
I've had a quick sneakybeaky at the packagelist after renaming it as a .txt file, but I'll let you pass judgement.
08-04-2010 20:16
oooh kay! that came out a bit screwy!!! Is there any chance you could email me the original?
An email address should have appeared at the end of the debug output
*smirk* like you'll still have that open!
I'll pm you an email address
08-04-2010 20:20
OK, cheers. Got it, just sending it now.

From that I can see that abiword and gsfonts (required by abiword) re using 17 meg of root space and NO opt space (or rather space on the emmc)
very bad!
and wget!! *** why isn't that in /opt.. From the looks of things abiword has eaten about 20meg root space and no opt space.. BAD abiword..
Why on earth has numpty physics (which is tops) used more root space than opt space?! At least the themes are working the right direction!
08-04-2010 20:46
WOW! So that AbiWord is absolutely huge.
I'll think about uninstalling it until they "optify" it. The themes are pretty big too compared to Symbian based themes.
And what about that "tutorial-home-applet", is that something that can be moved to the SDcard like I did with the video?
I thought that "desktop-photoapplet would be a bit of a hog, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Thanks for that.
08-04-2010 21:03
packages generally can't be relocated.. they sit where they sit.. You can move the content, but then the package is in a confused state, files aren't where they're supposed to be .. so removing or upgrading the package might leave things in the wrong place or duplicate things..
I suspect it is left on the rootfs, because of the split between emmc and os images.. it would be harder for Nokia to create a root fs image (the FIASCO file) that had packages that were split across the EMMC and the rootfs.. it feels dirty to me..
If you download this file
you can run that against the debug.tgz file yourself to see the table of results..
sh diskspace.sh debug.tgz
What's more you can include or exclude packages from the list (the base os is already excluded)
sh diskspace.sh debug.tgz keep-this:abiword
package rootfs
abiword 13447739
gsfonts 4493313
libwmf0.2-7 403911
libwv-1.2-3 271404
libgsf-1 193332
librsvg2-2 184516
defoma 142948
libenchant1c2a 97519
libfribidi0 64360
So every package in abiword sits on the root fs..
18meg! very very naughty! Although 18 meg for a fully featured word processor is pretty impressive, if you ask me!!
09-04-2010 0:22
Dammit! I've been watching this thread waiting for the all clear. Not sticking 18meg on my rootfs, the device is slow enough as it is - for no reason at all.
Will it be optimised when it reaches app manager?
09-04-2010 0:47
I imagine it would be a requirement for it to come out of dev/testing that the contents was relocated to /opt where possible
Filling your rootfs won't have any affect on the speed of your phone.. if anything putting stuff on the rootfs would be faster since the root flash is faster than the emmc.. but not by very much!
The problem is filling your root file system completely causes problems.. filling it below 40megs free will stop you applying FOTA.. but even with 5 megs free, it'd be as fast as with 65megs free..
It's just lazy not to have "optified" your packages..
09-04-2010 1:48
Ah ok thanks for that.
So what would cause it to run slow? Because sometimes it just feels unnecessarily sluggish.
I want to OC to 7-800MHz, but did you say it won't work on PR 1.2?

Well it's almost all over. All that's left now is hopefully some more awesome BCS games, or you know the usual boring blowouts. Lord the Bowl season drags on. Hey at least we can get more Texas Tech coverage, and hear more about the Texas Bama match-up! No, it's not like they have covered all the angles already, and ESPN would never invent angles....

Rams lose 28-6 to 49ers but win #1 Pick
The only positive to come out of today's game is that the St. Louis Rams have officially gone on the clock for the 2010 NFL Draft with the #1 selection overall. Early indications are that Ndamukong Suh will be on the top of their board, but there will be plenty of discussion about that over the next 4 months.
There it is! Suh should be a Ram. Don't know how I feel about this.

That spread look Nebraska used in the bowl game, featuring a strong and physical running game, is essentially what Watson would like to use going forward. "It was really gratifying to be able to go back and really be 'us' and cut these guys loose and let them play," Watson said. "It was fun."
There is no mention if Watson told everyone to "suck it" after the season was over.

The Carolina Panthers have announced that Brandon LaFell will be doubtful for Sunday's game, a product of a head injury he sustained last week against the Chicago Bears. This leaves a huge hole across from Steve Smith, and as it stands there are no clear indications who will be the second starting receiver.
Ron Rivera has stated that Louis Murphy and Kealoha Pilares would both be moved up 'a rung' on the depth chart, though it was Pilares to took the lion's share of reps across from Smitty in practice. He hasn't gotten many opportunities in 2012, totaling 42 yards on two receptions, including a 36-yard touchdown catch in week four against the Atlanta Falcons.
Joe Adams has been inactive for several weeks, despite being healthy-- seemingly a product of being in Ron Rivera's 'dog house' following several costly fumbles while playing as a punt returner. Meanwhile, the front office still need to make a determination on David Gettis, who is scheduled to come off the PUP. A final determination on his status must be made by Tuesday of next week.
Carolina's pass rush will also be hurting, with both Antwan Applewhite and Thomas Keiser listed as 'doubtful'.

Feb. 11, 2012 -- Indonesia -- ONE Fighting Championship's first show in Jakarta introduced Indonesian fans to mixed martial arts (MMA) in unforgettable style with submission and knockouts throughout the course of the 10-fight card.
The main event was an all out war between Ole Laursen and Felipe Enomoto. Both fighters came out swinging in the opening round and exchanged wild shots with the Filipino getting the better of the exchanges, but taking some solid hits in the process.
After having not fought for over a year Laursen appeared to enjoy being back in the cage as he repeatedly dropped his hands and grinned at Enomoto. Laursen looked to be ahead in the second round as he repeatedly tagged his opponent with left hooks and hard low kicks.
Just as it appeared that Laursen was firmly in control of the fight, Enomoto dropped him with a solid head kick and followed him to the ground, taking his back and sinking in a rear naked choke. The crowd at the BritAma arena sounded their appreciation for both fighters at the end of the frantic battle.
Despite being hit multiple times, Enonomoto exhibited an iron chin and admitted afterwards that he had been rocked several times during the fight.
"Ole's a real warrior, a real fighter and the only way to fight a guy like this is to be a warrior yourself. Two times I was really hurt but I knew I just had to believe in myself and keep on going. My brother kept telling me to go for the high kick and that's what I did and luckily it worked."
Earlier in the night Bae Young Kwon showed why he is rated as one of the top featherweight fighters in Korea when the Road FC veteran sunk in an inescapable rear naked choke submitted unbeaten URCC Champion Honorio Banario early in the opening round of their fight.
It was a better night for Banario's Team Lakay training partner Geje Eustaquio, who took on Alex Silva in what turned out to be one of the most entertaining fights of the night. The Brazilian is a BJJ world champion and secured an early takedown but found himself on the receiving end of some vicious ground and pound which opened up a deep cut above his eye.
After lengthy treatment, Silva was allowed to continue and almost finished the fight with a rear naked choke at the end of the first round, but Eustaquio showcased some outstanding submission defence. It was a close contest going into the third round when Eustaquio began to dominate the stand up exchanges to ultimately win a unanimous decision victory.
Four local fighters were in action on the undercard with Victorio Senduk defeating Malaysian Raymond Tiew by TKO. The Indonesian appeared to be in trouble early on as he was mounted and repeatedly punched, but he was able to recover and secure a deep leg lock. Tiew showed great heart to fight his way out but sustained a serious knee injury and was unable to continue.
A highly entertaining all Indonesian affair kicked off the evening, which ended with Zuli Silawanto knocking out Agus Nanang.
ONE FC CEO/Owner Victor Cui was delighted to see so many Indonesian fans in the BritAma Arena, particularly given that MMA has been largely absent from Indonesia since 2007.
"Tonight fight fans in Jakarta got a glimpse of exactly why MMA is the fastest growing sport on the planet. The fights were fantastic and had a little bit of everything, submissions, knockouts and some real battles. At ONE Fighting Championship we want to put on exciting, action packed fights and I feel that's exactly what we did tonight."

Firefighters' award nomination for medical response team
9:00am Monday 2nd June 2014 in News By Pete Grant, Reporter
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE Fire and Rescue has been shortlisted for a prestigious award recognising its ambulance co-response system, currently on trial in the county.
Under the scheme, specially trained firefighters are despatched to medical emergencies to provide life-saving treatment before an ambulance arrives on scene.
The project is currently being trialled at Great Missenden Marlow, Amersham/Chesham and High Wycombe, with over 600 callouts in the last three months alone.
And the success of the scheme has caught the eye of public risk management association Alarm, which has nominated the fire service for its Strategic Risk award for 2014.
Chief Operating Officer, Jason Thelwell, said: "We are committed to making Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes the safest places in England in which to live, work and travel.
"By engaging in schemes such as co-responding, and collaborating with our partner agencies through innovative approaches to managing and reducing risk, Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service and its staff are demonstrating their commitment to achieving this vision.
"To be shortlisted for this award highlights the importance of what we are aiming to achieve, and gives real recognition to those who are making the scheme a success."
The ambulance co-reponse system is run in partnership with South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust.
The specially-trained firefighters are dispatched by South Central Ambulance Service's Emergency Operations Centre after a 999 call is received.
The firefighter co-responders do not replace emergency ambulances, but can give early medical treatment until an ambulance arrives.
The availability of fire engines is not affected, as firefighters use a purpose-built co-responder car supplied by South Central Ambulance Service.
