Brenda saves lives?
Shannen Doherty took matters into her own hands last month -- placing a call from Los Angeles to a 911 dispatcher in Westhampton, NJ, in the hopes of helping a possibly suicidal fan on Twitter.
TMZ posted the audio clip of the call on Dec. 9, in which the worried "Beverly Hills, 90210" actress, 41, immediately acknowledges the bizarre nature of her cross-country call.

"This is going to sound incredibly strange," Doherty is heard saying, "My name is Shannen Doherty, and I'm an actress and there is a girl who is threatening to shoot herself."
Doherty explained to the dispatcher that the fan, an unnamed 27-year-old woman, had sent her direct Twitter messages claiming she would commit suicide if Doherty didn't give her a phone call.

"I'm completely untrained to deal with somebody threatening suicide," Doherty admits during the call. "It's been an undoing thing and my security guys told me to block her, because she's aggressive and does very erratic things . . . I felt bad for her to be honest."
The "Shannen Says" star then follows the dispatcher's instruction, tweeting the fan to get her home address.
"I would love it if you guys would just call back and let me know," she asked.
The dispatcher, naturally, couldn't help but gush just a little over the famous caller.
"All my coworkers can't believe I'm on the phone with you!" the operator admitted toward the end of the call.

David Sylvian's compilation of new and previously released material from the past decade is startling in its range and originality. The Noughties have seen the mercurial singer-songwriter foreground his signature croon as an instrumental force and melodic principle, best embodied in his 2003 Blemish and 2009 Manafon solo albums. His increasingly aleatory compositional approach has been informed by his longtime exploration of post minimalism, new jazz and electronic music. From the new title track and the previously unreleased collaboration Five Lines (with composer Dai Fujikura) to the spoken word compositions Angel and Thermal and the Nine Horses release Wonderful World , Sleepwalkers is a near-perfect recapitulation of Sylvian's recent solo work, and a must-have for both committed Sylvian-ites and still curious Japan-philes.

Where do we sign!
Obviously never going to happen. But if it did this board would put up a statue in honor of KOC and Lindsey
Wade would suddenly become more injury prone playing here I'm sure as he'd be extremely unhappy with the move.

juss too much talent. #cakks&pies
Sweet Christ if this happened we would be amazing.

Miami fans is dumb:
Jefferson for Bosh.....uhhhh
Well done Sophie
I don't see why a team with the championship title would do that kind of major move. So yeah, whoever wrote this article -to put it mildly- is an idiot.
Al's not a bad player as a 2nd option. The issue is that he's still really the first option here.
Players I like in the 2015 draft:
Umm... Lyles. Yeah, Lyles.
Trading Wade right now after helping them get 2 championships would be insane. The city loves him and they would go crazy if they traded him.
This would be the only way they would even accept it. Getting a young talent while getting Jefferson. They would probably get the choice between Burks or Hayward. This would also let Lebron and Mo play together again. Ray Allen could start and Burks cold develop for them backing him up.
But again makes no sense to mess up something that is already working.
"The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team." - John Wooden
If the only thing we have to throw in is Burks and Mo.Will, then hell yeah.
White Chocolate hates Rodney Hood
But still would probably not work. The only way they would of done this trade is if they didn't win the championship and were looking to change things up. Since they won no trades will happen unless it gets a big center for nothing.
"The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team." - John Wooden
I vote no.
Wade is averaging 3 more PPG than Al, which is nice, but Al is averaging 8 more rebounds than Wade.
Lateral move at best.

Guest post by Byron Kennard
Is DC defunct? It sure seems that way. Just about everybody is bemoaning Washington's dysfunctional political system. According to a recent Rasmussen Poll, 73 percent of respondents consider the system "broken." Only 15 percent think it workable. Fifteen percent?! Louis XVI had higher public approval ratings on the day the Bastille fell. What's next? A guillotine installed on Lafayette Square?
Now, ordinarily, I'm a meek, peace-loving fellow but when I contemplate the chronic and abysmal failure of the Washington system to address global warming I wouldn't mind seeing a few heads roll down Pennsylvania Avenue. But these bloody fantasies are vanquished by a reassuring thought: sometimes the market does things that the government can't or won't do.
Government, we know, is often beleaguered, trying to please many masters and ending up pleasing none of them very much. But we can always throw the rascals out, can't we? In contrast, the market works through impersonal forces that have their way with us, like it or not. Since the market is imperfect, the results are mixed, sometimes bad and sometimes good.
When it comes to global warming, the results are good. While Congress has been dithering, a swarm of entrepreneurs has seen the opportunities in this crisis and has rushed to exploit them, in the process creating many new green technological innovations.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to these entrepreneurs, most of whom, by the way, are struggling small business people often forced to play on a field that's uneven. But thanks to their perseverance, we now have in our possession all the technology we need to combat the threat of global warming.
Here's evidence to back up this claim. Energy guru Scott Sklar, who was for fifteen years Executive Director of the Solar Energy Industries Association, has collected 23 studies that, he argues, "show how commercially-available energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies can meet all of the world's and the United States' energy growth without fossil fuels (petroleum and coal) and nuclear energy."
Sklar's collection, for example, encompasses options for commercial building rooftops, probably the most wasted real estate in the country. They soak up huge amounts of solar energy that could be used to generate electricity. A report of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory asserts that 22% of all buildings could be zero-energy consumers using today's solar roof technology.
All 23 studies are recent. Most emanate from Federal agencies and national laboratories. According to Sklar, an aggregation of the most conservative estimates of these studies adds up to more than 100% of U.S. future energy needs.
More powerful evidence along these lines is available from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, which regularly briefs Congress on the availability of new low-carbon, efficient energy technologies. And the annual Congressional Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Expo showcases scores of these technologies.
This cornucopia of clean technology benefits the nation, the planet, and humanity in general. It's been quietly produced while all the partisan fuss and ideological bother in Washington garnered the headlines – as if the only game worth playing is the government game. Thank goodness, that's not true. So maybe the public has been watching the wrong game. Maybe the public should be watching the entrepreneurial game that Sklar watches. There they'd find something to cheer about.
What this boils to down is a willingness to take a risk.
Entrepreneurs embrace risk while politicians – most of them – are risk-adverse. Or, maybe, to be fair I should rephrase this observation to state that entrepreneurs can afford to take risks that politicians cannot. Too many voters crave reassurance that cheap and abundant energy will be available always and forever, and too many politicians are ready, willing and able to provide it. ("Drill baby, drill!")
I've always been morbidly fascinated by the fact that, as Presidential candidates, neither Al Gore in 2000 nor John Kerry in 2004 dared to mention global warming – even though the two of them were then among the best informed and most concerned individuals on the planet. Their handlers, it seems, absolutely forbade them to bring the subject up.
We should thank our lucky stars that entrepreneurs are there to provide an alternative leadership when our political system fails us. Now the job is to deploy all this wonderful new technology throughout the nation. Government can and should play a role in this deployment, if only to level the playing field. But whether government does its job or fails to, I trust that entrepreneurs will find a way to complete the green revolution they've begun.
So let's cancel that order for a guillotine and, instead, let's organize a big parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to honor America's green entrepreneurs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2006 A makeshift town constructed of a dozen squat cinderblock buildings located in the Virginia woods stood in for an Iraqi village yesterday during a Marine Corps 4th Civil Affairs Group training exercise.
The exercise was a full-scale dress rehearsal that included pyrotechnics, Humvees, various weapons, and Arabic speaking actors playing simple townsfolk. It was held at "Combat Town" at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., and was meant to simulate various scenarios Marines might face when entering Iraqi towns to conduct civil-military missions.
"What we're trying to achieve is to make sure that our Marines have a very clear and comprehensive understanding of immediate action drills," said Lt. Col. John Carl Church, a veteran civil affairs officer tasked will helping train the reserve unit.
The 4th CAG unit will deploy this fall to Iraq for the third time, but it will be the first deployment for most of the Marines who participated in yesterday's training exercise. These Marines have already completed specialty and tactical training and other civil affairs requirements. The exercise was an effort to combine all these factors, officials said.
The exercise began as role players dressed in Iraqi garb meandered about the fictional town of Dawhat as a convoy of several dozen Marines pulled into the village. The drivers and gunners stayed in the vehicles while some Marines secured the area and others began interacting with the villagers in an effort to locate the town elder to discuss a water-supply issue.
The situation soon deteriorated, and the Marines found themselves being angrily confronted by the town's citizens. One even grabbed a Marine's rifle barrel. The Marines then fanned out through the town to secure all the buildings.
Before long a bomb exploded, sending sparks into the air, and shots were fired at the Marines. As the Marines began pulling back toward their vehicles, four lagged behind in a building and instructor Lt. Col. Bill Hagestad ordered them to lie down on the ground. They had been "killed," he said. Two other Marines were "killed" soon after.
After much chaos and a firefight that resulted in several "dead" Iraqis, the Marines pulled out of the town.
Church said the training exercise was meant to teach Marines how to avoid this outcome in real life. Such training teaches Marines how to better respond to a situation that has gone bad, he said. Aside from hostile villagers, Marines conducting civil affairs operations might receive sniper fire, get hit by makeshift bombs or suicide bombers, or have to deal with car accidents.
"Anything from the benign to the dramatic, we want the Marines to instantly react and go through a procedural process in their mind of how to respond," Church said. "This takes practice."
Even though the civil affairs troops are there to help Iraqis, they need to know how a non-combat situation can become a firefight very quickly, Church said.
Each civil affairs unit is made up of two security teams and one assessment team. "This is done so the Marines conducting assessment, or the non-kinetic piece, feel comfortable that someone is watching their back so they can talk to the mayor or town leader," Church said.
Sometimes other units will provide security to a civil affairs unit, he added.
Church explained that civil affairs Marines are there to help the locals resolve issues ranging from infrastructure problems to helping them maintain a banking facility.
For example, if a local bank has not had any transactions for several months, the civil affairs unit will investigate why this is and track down the source of the problem, whether it's corruption or lack of security. They will then help local officials to try to find the best way reestablish the bank. If the problem is lack of security, the civil affairs unit will ask Iraqi forces to beef up security around the bank or make other suggestions, such as having the bank hire its own security.
"What we basically do is look at the problem holistically and say, 'Here are some things you might want to think about.' We see ourselves as facilitators or conduits to solutions," Church said.
Church said there were some immediate lessons learned from yesterday's exercise. The exercise reinforced the importance of maintaining situational awareness, remaining calm and improving communication, he said.
The unit will do the exercise all over again today. This time, Church promised to ratchet up the intensity and throw his Marines more curveballs.
Lance Cpl. Norman Tompkins is the only member of the 4th CAG who was in both of the units' two previous deployments to Iraq. He said he feels good about going back for the third time because he thinks the Marines have done a lot of good for the Iraqi people. During his previous deployments, the unit helped supply schools with needed materials and resolved a fuel supply crisis, he said.
"We're received well, because we're helping repair the infrastructure," Tompkins said. "I feel good about going back. It's a good thing to do."

Nigeria is one of VSO's longest running programmes. Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa and a vibrant country with huge potential. The current areas of VSO Nigeria's work are HIV and AIDS, education, secure livelihoods and national volunteering. VSO's involvement in Nigeria also includes International Citizen Service youth volunteering programmes for British and Nigerian youths.
HIV and AIDS
Nigeria is now the country with the second highest number of people infected with HIV and AIDS. More effort is required in the prevention of further infection, and the treatment and care of the estimated three million Nigerians between the ages of 15-49 living with HIV and AIDS. To address the need for greater awareness about prevention and to reduce the spread of HIV and AIDS, volunteers are working with the government, international and local non-governmental organisations and community-based organisations.
Volunteers with backgrounds in areas such as organisational development, communications and advocacy are:
developing management structures
facilitating networking among different agencies
developing public communications strategies
promoting the inclusion of HIV and AIDS awareness activities in schools.
Like many developing countries, Nigeria's education system faces the challenges of strengthening teachers qualifications, and improving education management. VSO's education activities in Nigeria have sought to meet these challenges by shifting from providing classroom-based teaching positions to successfully placing volunteers in management and training roles. Volunteers are working to improve the quality and relevance of education with education managers strengthening the management systems of government institutions in the primary sector and teacher trainers upgrading primary teachers' qualifications.
Secure livelihoods
It is often said that it is a paradox that Nigeria is a country rich in oil, yet with a high level of poverty, and it is believed that there has been a loss of technical and business skills, particularly among young people. VSO's volunteers in the secure livelihoods programme area have worked alongside Nigerian civil society agencies to improve access to employment and food production opportunities for poor communities. Activities of these agencies include promoting small-scale entrepreneurship, encouraging young people and women to take up vocational skills training and raising awareness of ways to increase food production.
VSO believes that people working together out of a sense of community responsibility and shared commitment are a powerful force that can make a major contribution to reducing poverty and promoting development. National volunteering will enhance the activities being carried out in VSO Nigeria's three programme areas.

Motivate Like a CEO
The ability to motivate your employees is one of your most important leadership skills. Unfortunately, too many leaders use outdated approaches that only temporarily increase motivation, but with long-term ill effects.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I almost never promote the books of others. However, Motivate Like a CEO, by Suzanne Bates is special.
I know Suzanne personally and she is someone who walks the talk. We work together on a board of directors, and she is one of the most thoughtful and thought provoking people I know.
More importantly, I love her motivation philosophy. Suzanne asked me to read an early version of the manuscript and provide an endorsement. After reading the book, I was more than happy to do so. Here's what I wrote:
Suzanne Bates does for business what Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning (my all-time favorite book) did for psychology. Just as Frankl showed that people thrive when their lives have meaning, Suzanne demonstrates that companies thrive when they are designed around a shared purpose.
Today only, if you purchase the book, Suzanne will give you access to a number of "bonus gifts."
Visit her site for more details. I know you will enjoy this book. I did.
P.S. This is my 400th blog entry.
P.P.S. Happy New Year to all of my friends in Asia…and around the world.

Chatting with the iconic Paolo Maldini is like having a conversation with AC Milan itself. In the world of modern football it is increasingly rare to find players like the Italian defender, now in the last season of an illustrious career, who have spent their entire professional life at just one club. Maldini is not just a role model in his chosen sport but in life as well.
With the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2007 kicking off in a month's time, FIFA.com spoke exclusively with the Rossoneri captain at AC Milan's training complex in Milanello. And who better to gauge the feeling in the camp ahead of their Japanese adventure than that great man Maldini himself.
FIFA.com: Paolo, you've said this will be your last
year as a player. You've worn the same shirt in a career
spanning 23 years. What does AC Milan mean to you?
Paolo Maldini: AC Milan is like my second family. My father was a player and captain on this team and I've followed in his footsteps. My son plays in one of the youth teams, although it's by no means certain that he'll become a footballer. For the Maldini family AC Milan means a great deal, and on a football level virtually everything.
What is the secret of staying at the top for so long? Has
your playing style altered over the years?
One of the most important reasons is that I've played in a good team that has provided me the incentive to go on. As time goes by you gain experience. You perhaps lose something from a physical point of view but you improve tactically and mentally.
How important is the FIFA Club World Cup for you and the
We give it great importance because it enables you to become a world champion. It is the pinnacle of club football. It's a road I've travelled down several times in my career and which has, unfortunately, not always ended in ultimate victory. I was a winner the first two times I played in the tournament, but on the losing side in 1993, 1994 and 2003. It's always a great disappointment to leave the pitch as a loser because the Club World Cup is such a difficult competition to qualify for. It's a real pity to let the opportunity escape you.
This is the first time you'll be appearing in the FIFA
Club World Cup with the new seven-team format. What changes do you
think you'll see?
The approach to matches will definitely be different because we'll be staying in Japan for a longer period. There are less certainties but you get the chance to prepare better by dedicating more time to the competition.
Boca Juniors are the most decorated team amongst your
possible opponents. What can you tell us about them?
We have to play a semi-final first before we even qualify for any final. And we all know that as the years go by the first game is becoming increasingly more difficult. Upsets are never far away given the improvements in the quality of football on other continents. If we do play against Boca Juniors then we'll be meeting a team that has always shown itself to be very compact. Their personnel changes a lot because they sell their best players but the team remains very solid. Squad unity and a winning mentality are the main strengths of the Argentines in my opinion.
What is the physical condition of you and the AC Milan team
in general?
My physical condition is not ideal because I still feel pain due to long months of inactivity. I need to play a few matches if I am to arrive in Japan at my best. Ronaldo is in the same condition as me. The team is improving even though we haven't yet found the right continuity in Serie A. I believe we have turned a corner though.
On the basis of past experience the backroom staff are
concerned about jetlag. Is this a serious problem?
From my point of view the defeats the last three times we played were not mainly due to jetlag. In 1993 against Sao Paulo we played a very good team and lost an exciting match, whereas against Velez (Sarsfield) and Boca (Juniors) we were probably the better team on paper but couldn't show it on the pitch. Jetlag affects everyone and the South Americans have to travel even further than us.
During your career you've played with some of the best
players of all time. How do Kaka and Ronaldo compare?
Above all Kaka is a decent and hard-working guy. In football terms he combines excellent technique and ability to score goals with exceptional speed. The latter is vital in modern football. Ronaldo is a world-class player and as such when he's fit he gives the team that something extra in terms of technique and personality. Let's hope he's back quickly to contribute. He has innate scoring awareness because he has a unique ability to transform every ball he touches into a scoring opportunity.
Turning back to you, how disappointed were you last summer
not to be part of the Italy team that won the FIFA World Cup in
Germany? After all you'd played in four previous tournaments
and hold the Azzurri appearances record with 126 caps?
I was very disappointed in 1990 when we lost against Argentina in the semi-final and in 1994 when we were beaten by Brazil in the final. So my disappointment doesn't really concern Germany 2006, given that I hadn't played for Italy for four years, but rather my career as a whole.
Incredibly it was left-back Fabio Grosso and central-defender Marco Materazzi, playing in your favoured roles, who were decisive in influencing Italy's fate...
The World Cup is like that. You have to grasp your opportunities. I, and the teams I played in, were not good enough or lucky enough to succeed, whereas (Marcello) Lippi's men deserved their victory.
Luck and your ability now give you the chance to end your
career as a world champion. Did you know that if you play in
Yokohama you'll claim the record for the most appearances in
the FIFA Club World Cup in its various guises?
Statistics only count for so much but when I look at the numbers I can't help but notice this is the only club competition where I've lost more times than won having suffered three defeats but enjoyed two victories. I'd like to end my career with those statistics evened out. I'd love to lift the trophy with my team mates. Winning the world title with AC Milan means everything to me.

Wind: 0 mph
To the Editor:
We read with interest the question posed to Valley residents in the June 12, 2014, issue of The Valley Reporter. As the owner of a 2014 Tesla 85, I wish to submit my observations on the novelty and wonder of an electric car. I agree with the comments of my neighbors Diane, Beverly and Andy. But, as a part-time resident of The Valley, let me tell you what we flatlanders need to consider when we travel to the Shire.
First, it is 280 miles to make the journey and the range of my 85kW battery fully charged is around 260 miles IF I do not use the radio, air conditioning, heated seats or the wipers should it rain. But, I have a charging station in Colonie, New York, a mere 120 miles from my New Jersey home and less than halfway to our part of heaven in Vermont. The Supercharger is free and supplied by Tesla as a courtesy to their owners. But, it takes about an hour to refill my electron tank and the remaining 160 miles should be a "piece of cake." What I use going up to top of the Brandon Gap, I mostly get back coming down without my foot ever touching the brake.
I can charge at Green Mountain Power in Rutland, but it is level two charging and would take several hours to make an impact if the last part of the run was tight. But I could do it. And, there is a level two charger for overnight guests at the West Hill House B&B (thank you, Peter and Susan McLaren, for your offer of a plug share while we enjoy a wee drop of Islay malt).
Should we ask Win Smith to install outlets in the new parking lot at Warren House so the out-of-town skiers can refill their tanks while they plow the slopes? Great idea since each charger has a credit card slot. Might be a money maker. At current rates (even without the Tesla free electron fill-up), it costs about $20 to power my zero-emission car from New Jersey to Vermont and back. We will forget the environmental contribution of the coal-fired power companies for a moment and just assume that I travel totally on hydro, wind and solar generated electricity. I am a Vermonter after all (albeit only part time). I have 15 kilowatts of solar panels on my home in NJ so I can honestly say that I farm electrons.
Yes, let's get a charging station in The Valley, but we had better have something to do while we wait for our electron tanks to be filled.

The personal tale of an Australian adventurer's tragedy and triumph that is packed with historical insights. On the Trail of Genghis Khan is at once a celebration of and an elegy for an ancient way of life.
Lone-adventurer Tim Cope travelled the entire length of the Eurasian steppe on horseback, from the ancient capital of Mongolia to the Danube River in Hungary. This formidable 6,000-mile journey took three years to complete. It is a journey that has not been completed successfully since the days of Genghis Khan. Trekking through wolf-infested plateaus, down into deep forests and up over glaciers, across sub-zero barren landscapes, scorching deserts and through treacherous mountain passes, Cope travelled deep into the heart of the nomadic way of life that has dominated the Eurasian steppe for thousands of years.
Alone, except for a trusted dog (and a succession of thirteen horses, many stolen along the way), he encountered incredible hospitality from those who welcomed him on his journey - a tradition that is the linchpin of human survival on the steppe. With WC the Kazakh aphorism 'To understand the wolf, you must put the skin of a wolf on and look through its eyes' playing constantly in his thoughts, Cope became immersed in the land and its people, moving through both space and time as witness to the rich past and to the often painful complexities of present-day life still recovering from Soviet rule.
On the Trail of Genghis Khan is a tale of survival, adventure and discovery set in a fascinating and politically volatile time.
About the Author
Tim Cope is a professional adventurer, author, filmmaker, and motivational speaker. He has worked as a guide in Antarctica, studied as a wilderness guide in the Finnish and Russian Arctic, ridden a bicycle across Russia to China, and rowed a boat through Siberia to the Arctic Ocean. His book Off the Rails: Moscow to Beijing on Recumbent Bikes was published by Penguin Australia, alongside an ABC Australia series of the same name. Bloomsbury will re-release Off the Rails in September 2013. 'The Trail of Genghis Khan', covering the journey of this book, has also been made into a six-part TV series by ABC Australia. He lives in Victoria, Australia. www.timcopejourneys.com

An amazing journey through some of the world's harshest country and the author takes you along on the trip, the good and the bad. Really enjoyable read, love the bond he has with his horses and his dog.
Tim Cope is a wise young man who knows how to travel, and why, and which details to record for the delight and enlightenment of his readers. I suspect that here we have a classic, likely to inspire generations yet unborn Dervla Murphy Tim Cope's exploration across the continents on horseback grew into a quest through history and then an odyssey deep into the human heart.

This young Australian writes confidently about his epic adventure, which lasted three years and followed the route taken by the Mongol hordes as they reached Europe and almost conquered it.

Patricia Langston-Moran
The weaving, sightless fingers of time
Reach out to touch my relentless climb
Toward peace.
Coldly winding round the warmth of youth's peak
Shading the sunlit road I walk as I blindly seek
Silent peace.
The mountain is touching a star.
Time whispers to me - it is too far.
Rainbows fade as I race toward the end,
Universes wither with age as I ascend
Toward peace.
The fingers tighten now - I stand before a gate
viewing one small splinter of a cross - too late -
For peace.

10 Apr 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.— April 10, 2012— blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announces a trading update for the year ended 31 March 2012. The Company expects to report revenues for the full year of approximately $114m, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 72% and behind analyst consensus of $121.5m. The company expects to report an operating profit, before one-time costs and amortization of purchased intangibles, slightly ahead of analyst consensus of $10.3m. Gross Margin for the year was approximately 53%. The company's cash balance at year end was $38.4m.
Operating cash flow for the period, both before one-time costs and also on an absolute basis, is expected to exceed analyst consensus. One-time costs for FY 2012 are expected to be approximately $5m and amortization of purchased intangibles is expected to be approximately $4m. The company expects to report an IFRS operating profit, after one-time costs and amortization of purchased intangibles, above analyst consensus of $1.3m for the period.
Commenting on the preliminary results Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx, said: "blinkx's revenues are up 72% this year, surpassing the $100 million mark. We believe this is a significant achievement. Growth across the business has been strong, and whilst it is disappointing to deliver revenues a little below expectations it is worth noting that in a challenging economic climate, blinkx outperformed the aggressive growth of the online video advertising industry by over 80%. We are confident in our position in the market and the progress we have made this year, and are excited about the opportunities that lie before us."
The company expects to announce its results for the full year on 18 May 2012.
The above represent preliminary summary results based on blinkx's expectations at the time of publication of this announcement. These results may be subject to revision as part of the analysis process and, at this stage, should be taken as indicative estimates only. Preliminary summary results are provided as an aid to investors based on information available at the time of publication. Full results, including income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and related notes and other segmental information will be published in due course, which is expected to be on 18 May 2012. All results, including those set forth above, are subject to quarterly financial review by blinkx's independent auditors, and are considered preliminary and subject to change until publication of any such review or audit.

If you are talking about a fire academy after a hiring. Being in shape physically makes a big difference. You don't want to be struggling to keep up and so exhausted that studying and learning suffers. Learn how to study efficiently, take the material given and outline it or put on index cards. For that period of time put all efforts into the training and postpone the social activities until after you are sitting at the firehouse proud of your accomplishments, then return to the normal life. Have fun again, knowing you did it right and learned the job right. Also, a lot of people struggle on the EMT side, it is intensive in studying and memorizing. It is not as glamorous as fires, but it can be a sticking point for those that can't pass it. Good luck, put all your effort into it. I remember when I was about to enter the fire academy, I refused to go roller skating with our church, because I knew if got injured that might be my only chance to get on!

Deportation Separates New Mexico Families
By Emily Guerra
May 10, 2013 – Las Cruces, NM - On this edition of PUENTES, Emily Guerra bridges the community with Director of the Regional Center for Border Rights of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico, Vicki Gaubeca, to tell us about a new report called "Torn Apart", How U.S. Immigration Policy Fragments New Mexico Families. For a copy of the report visit the website of the ACLU of New Mexico: www.aclu-nm.org.
A film about an immigrant family in Arizona called "Two Americans" will be presented at New Mexico State University on Wednesday, May 22nd, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Hardman Hall, Room 106. It is free and open to the public.

Pam Goodman, a 13-year veteran of Bulloch County Schools, is Stilson Elementary's new principal. Goodman served as an assistant principal at Nevils Elementary for four years, and another year as both the assistant principal for Nevils Elementary School and Stilson Elementary School.
Eileen Bayens, the current principal, will retire June 15 after 31 years in education, 21 of those in Bulloch County. Bayens led Stilson for five years and was its assistant principal for 10.
Nevils Elementary Principal Julie Blackmar said, "You could not have a better person as principal of Stilson Elementary than Pam Goodman. She not only has the knowledge and skills for the job, but she has the personality and leadership traits it takes to be a successful administrator."
Last year Goodman was the AP for Julia P. Bryant Elementary. Principal Nate Pennington said, "Mrs. Goodman has been a huge asset to me and the rest of Bear Nation." She has a work ethic that is beyond reproach."
Goodman is a graduate of Georgia Southern University. She received both her bachelor and masters degrees in early childhood education and education leadership from GSU.

I am ticked off today because not only was I heavily stalked last night, he's already started to do it today. I'll have to call a cab to get a few blocks to the courthouse to file for a restraining order. And I'll be paying for a cab home from downtown as well. That sucks. I can't afford to blow my grocery money like this, but I have to.
I am ticked off today because it is Monday, and I have a full week of work ahead of me. I am deadly tired, I think I desperately need some vacations...
I'm ticked off because my body is still retaining insulin at ridiculously high levels despite the fact I am taking medication to combat this and being extremely healthy with my diet. I've now been told I need to stick to a low GI diet for at least the next six weeks to see if there's any improvement. Guess I best research low GI foods now...exciting!!
Because every time I make a suggestion at work my CEO yells at me, ridicules me, and makes me feel dumb for speaking up. Then he ends up thinking about it and realizng it's a good idea. Do we really need to go through this EVERY time?
I'm ticked off because I hurt my knee on Saturday, in an embarrassing/funny incident at my brother's engagement party. Sigh. Despite resting it and following all the recommended advice it's still swollen, bruised and painful. Being stuck indoors is driving me even more unsane than usual.

Common Snapping Turtle
Chelydra serpentina
Recently we were treated to a sighting of a female Common Snapping Turtle, Chelydra serpentina. The turtle was found high up on the ridge, quite a distance from its normal habitat of deep water. Mid-summer often brings the females of this species out of the security of the water to find a dry place to lay their eggs. Like most other turtles, the snapping turtle digs a hole for her eggs. She then deposits them, covers them, and leaves them to incubate on their own. If the nest remains undisturbed by predators, the hatchlings will dig themselves out of the nest after 9-12 weeks (or occasionally not until the following spring).
Snapping turtles are ancient reptiles that have survived for more than five million years. They are powerful swimmers, and spend most of their lives underwater waiting for prey to ambush. When on land, their slow walk and small bottom shells, or plastrons, make them vulnerable to predation. Be warned, however, that the snapping turtle compensates for these terrestrial shortcomings by readily defending itself against anything that harasses it.
As you walk or drive near ponds, lakes, and rivers, be on the lookout for these ancient turtles as they search for nesting sites.

Sappho Griffin's home in Bedford, Nova Scotia is a coastal retreat in the city.
She overhauled her kitchen to incorporate an upper level of cabinets, polished concrete counters, cork flooring and vintage-look taps. The island functions as additional workspace and adds a rustic touch to the space. The lantern is a fabulous find from Stadacona Lodge, a military hall in Halifax.

A new video by Rick Perry's presidential campaign suggests that members of Congress who engage in insider trading should be sent to jail.
"Congress certainly can't be trusted to watch our money. And now it's clear they can't be trusted with theirs," Perry says in the spot, which was posted to the campaign's YouTube channel on Monday afternoon. "Any congressman or senator that uses their inside knowledge to profit in the stock market ought to be sent to jail, period. And Congress ought to pass a law that says so right now--no ifs, ands, or buts."
As in some of his recent TV ads, the video features a close up of Perry's face, although he appears to be speaking against an out-of-focus outdoor background. In previous ads, he appeared against a plain white backdrop.
The video is in response to a Sunday report on CBS's 60 Minutes that examined whether members of Congress engage in insider trading by using information from legislation the chambers are working on to guide their investment decisions. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, were among the lawmakers featured in the report; according to 60 Minutes, the two made money off of trades that may have been driven by their knowledge as leaders of Congress.
Communications director Ray Sullivan said the campaign has not yet decided whether it will use the ad as a TV spot.

Nobody knows Zack Greinke
Dec 17, 2010, 8:32 AM EDT
I've written a lot recently about how no one can simply assume that Zack Greinke's history with anxiety disorder makes him unsuitable for pitching in New York. Indeed, it could easily be the opposite — he's at his best when he's successful and at his worst when facing adversity — and thus the winning and the pressure of winning with the Yankees could actually be better for him than losing in Kansas City. Ask yourself: wouldn't having Brett Gardner chasing down the flies you gave up to left field make you feel better than having Melky Cabrera do it next season?
The point is, we have no idea what makes Zack Greinke tick, and to the extent you read about someone who sounds absolutely certain that he couldn't hack it in New York, you can be assured that they're just guessing.
Joe Posnanski has been around and written more about Zack Greinke than just about anyone, and last night he posted a story that illustrates just how wild the guesses truly are. And no, Joe doesn't think he knows anything more about what makes Greinke tick than anyone else. That's the takeaway:
Chauncey Gardiner from the movie "Being There" was the simple gardner of a rich man who wandered into the world and found people eager to infuse their own hopes and ideas and thoughts into his childlike words. Greinke is not simple, and his words are not childlike, but here he is, America's Most Wanted Pitcher, and everybody seems to know what he wants, where he'd succeed, where he'd fail. So you know Krylov in Russian, do you? Some may be right. Some certainly are wrong. But if there's one thing I have learned about Zack Greinke that I feel confident in saying it is this: Nobody really knows.
I know I say this a lot about his stuff, but Joe's story is an absolute must-read. Certainly a must-read for Yankees fans and anyone who is interested in where Greinke might be traded.

Speaking as someone who has dealt with clinical depression for years, the only person that knows you is yourself. Even a therapist has to use all of the tricks of his or her trade to figure out a way to help you cope. And medication is a very tricky thing too. No one knows what Greinke deals with day to day and no one should – it's his business. If he thinks he can handle pitching in New York, or Texas, or Zaire, its up to him.
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:04 AM
If he thinks he can handle pitching in New York, or Texas, or Zaire, its up to him.
QFT. And from what I've read, he's never come out and said, himself, that he wouldn't want to pitch there. It's always "sources close to Grienke" or "Greinke's friends say".
Also, with regards to his S.A.D., we don't know what triggers it. Maybe when he's pitching he can block out all the crowds, but it's the reporters after the game that bother him (a la Ricky Williams doing interviews with his helmet on)? Maybe being in NY would be a good thing, since no one would recognize him, and it's the only city of 10M plus people (living and commuters) that you can feel isolated in.
- Old Gator - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:35 AM
Reading these stupid articles, especially after Cliff Lee blew off the Borg, I get the feeling that they're just pre-emptive excuses for why he won't go to some particular city. No Crawford, No Lee. Next, no Greinke. Oh, well, you know Nyorc. If someone doesn't want to be there, there must be a pathology involved. Funny thing is, I've never spoken to a Nyorcan who gave a crap one way or another about whether someone wanted to be there or not. It's just the sportswriters and sports radio hosts who get apoplectic about this stuff anyway, and a few dumb sheep who swallow the line.
- BC - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:44 AM
Greinke's medical condition is documented. I have no idea whether that plays any role in where he wants to pitch or feels that he can pitch, because I'm not him. There's a lot of things I joke about and act moronic about on this blog, but anxiety disorder or depression ain't one of them (well, two of them, technically). It's just a personal day to day thing that no one from the outside can pretend to know about.
- Old Gator - Dec 17, 2010 at 12:31 PM
Wel-l-l, I won't go back through the last year or two and tally up all your Nardil punchlines, but I do accept that one may joke about onesself and invite others to share in the irony and find humor in one's own condition whereas it's not up to anyone else to presume to have fun at another's expense unbidden. As far as acting moronic on this blog, if we can't do it here, where can we do it? My first wife made it clear that she wouldn't tolerate it in the kitchen, even if she never seemed to mind it much in bed.
- BC - Dec 17, 2010 at 12:50 PM
I make fun of myself because:
1. It generally pre-empts others from doing it, since I'm an easy target
2. It's a coping mechanism
3. I generally think it's pretty funny
I wouldn't kid about someone else's condition given that there's no way to know what the person is or has been going through.
PS. My ex-wife wouldn't tolerate my moron-itude either. (Is that a word? It should be.)
- sportsdrenched - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:55 AM
Except JoePas is NOT a NY apoligist.

- Jonny 5 - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:40 AM
I don't have an Anxiety Disorder. My wife does. And it's completely up to the idividual what it is that triggers the Anxiety. 10,000 different people with Anxiety issues will give you 30,000 different triggers for their issues. I help by talking about it, how fine, and/or easy said situation will be. It seems to be a battle of brain vs. instinct where if you push the right buttons the brain wins to me. All I'm trying to say is, I think Greinke can basically do what Greinke decides to do, be it by himself or with the help of people close to him. So yeah Jo Po is dead on. Would you expect less?
But I have to add.
As I said, I don't have anxiety issues. But the thought of moving to NYC gives me immediate irritable bowel syndrome. Maybe even some light Anxiety. I can't enjoy myself feeling like a rat in an overcrowded cage, rubbing elbows with everyone and their cooties and stuff. It's just not fun to me, or a good way to live. No offense, I'm not knocking how you live, it's just not for me. I'd rather live in central Canada.

HA!!! I can always long for it though… Actually I like other beer too, but it's kinda pricey. Yuengling is my favorite "cheap beer". And that Porter is mmm mmm Good.
- Utley's Hair - Dec 17, 2010 at 4:07 PM
Mmmm…black and tan…. But don't forget about the Lord Chesterfield, either. That's good sh!t.
- wonkypenguin - Dec 17, 2010 at 10:44 AM
I have avoided NYC for the same reason. Too much input at all times, too many people, not enough oxygen. Oh and an irrational hatred of how many movies take place in New York.
- wonkypenguin - Dec 17, 2010 at 10:43 AM
As a therapist, I concur that whatever works for someone is what works for them and then structuring their environment to that is paramount to successful coping with their symptoms. I have worked with a number of patients who moved from a big city to a smaller city and their anxiety worsened considerably simply due to the environment shift. So yeah, I think the anxiety-based speculation is a dartboard of "What makes him tick?"
That said, I think Minneapolis would be an excellent city for Mr. Greinke's employment. No psychological reasons other than my own personal happiness.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Dec 17, 2010 at 5:40 PM
As an anxiety disorder patient myself, I couldn't agree with you more.
- yankeesfanlen - Dec 17, 2010 at 10:54 AM
Jonny, he isn't going to pitch in the middle of Times Square where 40,000 people are jammed in 2 blocks doing 120,000 different things. A baseball park is almost a tranquil, controlled place by that measure.
AND with the quantity of money most Yankees make he can buy 5 acres in Westchester and grow corn if he wants.
Suppose 3 beat writers cover the Royals and he doesn't feel comfortable with one of them? That avoidance might be more pressing than having 50 after you post-game.(Of course, the 3 now have Frenchie to smooze with)
Even getting to the ballpark isn't particularly an issue- there's plenty of limos for hire, though it seems like most drive one of their half-dozen FAST cars in. Once saw Giambi drive down NJ208 in a buck and a quarter Mercedes.
So Zack, come on down!
- Jonny 5 - Dec 17, 2010 at 11:06 AM
I agree 100%. And I'm never going to pretend I know what it's like to be Zack G or how he feels or thinks. I know he won't be subjected to normal NYC life either. I just figured I'd let people know how I feel, and personally, if i were him, I'd like a smaller city myself. And i'm sure plenty of baseball players may just feel the same way. But yeah, I wouldn't be suprised in the least bit if he did end up in NYC. Of course, I totally pictured Lee going to NYC wayyyyyy before I pictured Greinke. Further proof, we can only speculate the inner workings of a person's mind.
- Utley's Hair - Dec 17, 2010 at 12:37 PM
Frenchie schmooze? That just sounds dirty—and not in a good way.
- Rosenthals Speling Instrukter - Dec 17, 2010 at 1:38 PM
