Video Search Monetization Works: Blinkx CEO Claims
http://www.beet.tv/2008/12/video-search-mo.html Video search works, particularly around professionally-produced content. Suranga Chandratillake, CEO of Blinkx, the London/San Francisco-based video search engine, told TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld in this segment from the Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable that his company is serving ads on 80-90 percent of professionally produced content and on 10-20 percent on user-generated content. The ads are both display and in-stream. Here is Erick's report on the company's most recent earnings. Revenue is rising substantially, he finds. While display advertising is down, video search is a growing and viable business, Suranga says. -- Andy Plesser, Executive Producer

Girl Scout Leader & Husband Arrested In Torture Of Teen
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/02/girl-scout-leader-and-hus_n_147905.html TRACY, Calif. — A Girl Scout leader and her husband were arrested after an emaciated, terrified and nearly naked 17-year-old showed up at a gym with a chain locked to his ankle, saying he had just fled his captors, authorities said Tuesday. Police were also seeking a third suspect and had an outstanding felony warrant against her for an earlier alleged assault against the teen. The boy, who authorities said ran away from a Sacramento foster home last year, came into the In-Shape Sports Club in Tracy on Monday wearing only boxer briefs and covered in what appeared to be soot, gym manager Chuck Ellis said. Tracy is about 70 miles south of Sacramento. Ellis said the teen was scared someone was going to come after him and asked to be hidden. "He said, 'Don't let them get me, don't let them get me,'" Ellis said. "He was totally terrified." The boy said he had been held captive for nearly a year, said Ellis, adding that he looked as if he was only 10 to 12 years old. Authorities said they believe the boy had been chained to a car seat but picked up a dropped key, unlocked himself and fled when the car stopped. Police arrested Kelly Layne Lau, 30, and Michael Schumacher, 34, late Monday after questioning the couple. A subsequent search of their nearby home found further evidence implicating them, said Tracy police spokesman Matt Robinson, who would not describe what officers found. The couple were booked on charges of torture, kidnapping and child abuse, and were set to appear in court Thursday, according to online jail records. They were being held at the San Joaquin County jail in lieu of bail of nearly $1.2 million each. Prosecutors did not know if the couple had attorneys. Lau and Schumacher's four young children, two of whom were home when police arrived, have been taken into protective custody, authorities said. Lau started serving as a local Girl Scout leader sometime in September, after a background check turned up nothing to cause concern, said Pam Saltenberger, chief executive of Girl Scouts Heart of Central California. Police still were seeking 43-year-old Caren Ramirez, who they say might be the boy's aunt, on suspicion of participating in the abuse, Robinson said. Investigators were trying to figure out the connection between the couple and Ramirez, who authorities believe occasionally visited their home. Ramirez had become the teen's guardian after child-welfare officials took him from his abusive father three or four years ago, Robinson said. After Ramirez was arrested for allegedly abusing the boy, he was placed in another foster home, which he fled in late 2007, police said. Since then, the boy's whereabouts hadn't been known until around 4 p.m. Monday, when he entered the fitness center, Robinson said. The family's tidy two-story house was decked with two large Christmas wreaths on the front doors. No one answered Tuesday when a reporter knocked on the front door. According to neighbors, the couple seemed to lead lives that revolved around their kids. On her MySpace page, Lau describes herself as a stay-at-home mom and says her husband worked as a contractor. She posted many photos of her family, friends and pets. Jennifer Foster, 33, said she and Lau became acquaintances through their children, who were neighborhood playmates. Foster said she first noticed an older boy with the family about a year ago. "She told me that he was a nephew that was staying with them because he was having problems at home," Foster said. The boy was outside frequently, and his appearance never suggested anything unusual was happening behind closed doors, though the last time she saw him was May, she said. Another neighbor said that more recently, the boy looked unwell. "The last time I seen him, maybe two weeks ago, we were both taking our cans in from garbage days and he was really skinny and pale," Rachel Portillo said. Robinson, the police spokesman, said the boy was confused when approached by detectives Monday, unsure where he had come from and how long he had been held. He was taken to a hospital and was in stable condition Tuesday afternoon. "The victim says he was held against his will," Robinson said. "When you have a 17-year-old boy showing up with a bloody ankle from having a chain wrapped around it, it's one of those things for officers to put one and one together." Robinson said detectives would interview the boy more Tuesday when he is a "little healthier." Police wouldn't release details about any conversations they've had with the boy or the couple since the arrests.

Ben and Jerry's Bed-In for Peace
Ben & Jerry's Recognizes Aaron Voldman, Executive Director of Student Peace Alliance, as a Peace Pioneer Aaron Voldman, Executive Director of the Student Peace Alliance (SPA) and a member of the Board of Directors of The Peace Alliance, was one of two nationwide winners of Ben & Jerry's "Peace Pioneer" contest. The announcement was made on May 27, 2008 at its New York City Times Square Scoop Shop. The ceremony was part of Ben & Jerry's joint effort with The Lennon Estate and Peace One Day, a non-profit organization focused on raising global awareness of the UN day of global ceasefire and non-violence on September 21st annually. Maggie Gyllenhaal, award-winning actress and demonstrated peace activist, Jeremy Gilley, founder of Peace One Day and director/producer/writer of the Cannes-debuted film, "The Day After Peace," and Roy Kerwood, original photographer from Lennon's 1969 Montreal Bed-in, were on-site at the Ben & Jerry's Times Square Scoop Shop to launch a John Lennon tribute flavor, "Imagine Whirled Peace," and announce a new social mission partnership with Peace One Day. Ben & Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield read a statement from Yoko Ono expressing her continued support and vision for the campaign: "Make peace - a dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." To further its peace-focused campaign, Ben & Jerry's held a nationwide search to identify modern-day peace activists who embody the values set forth by Lennon through their work to create positive change in the world. Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jerry Greenfield presented the winners with a $10,000 donation from Ben & Jerry's to: * Aaron Voldman, a 21-year-old Brandeis University student and co-founder of the Student Peace Alliance - a national student and youth movement for a culture and Department of Peace and Nonviolence. Since its founding in March 2006, SPA has quickly grown to include 100 chapters on high school and college campuses around the country; and * Robert Kent, founder of the Peace Camp Initiative - a program that provides summer camp experiences for war-torn children from Israel and Palestine. World peace is everybody's job, and each one of us can work to educate ourselves, our communities, and our members of Congress about the power of nonviolent conflict resolution and the importance of making the reduction and prevention of violence a national-and global-priority. The event highlighted Ben & Jerry's John Lennon-inspired Imagine Whirled Peace ice cream and included a modern-day "Peace Bed-In" marking the 39th anniversary of the day John Lennon and Yoko Ono hosted a "Bed-in For Peace." Through that legendary event, Lennon and Ono used their celebrity-for-good to promote world harmony, and inspired a generation to think about peace during a critical time of war. In accepting the award, Aaron said, "I certainly agree with John Lennon that we must imagine world peace, and the Student Peace Alliance is committed to making our visions of peace a reality. Violence -- in our streets, in our schools, and around the globe -- continues to challenge the health and well-being of this generation. For me, the most tragic aspect of violence is that most of it is unnecessary. We have the skills right now to effectively resolve conflict before it erupts into violence, and yet we continue to mostly respond after it occurs. "We need to rethink that and move in a direction where we work proactively to reduce and prevent violence from happening in the first place," he continued. "By creating a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace, we as a country will make peacebuilding a national priority. "Thousands of people across the country are excited about this smart, strategic, and sensible approach. We invite you to join us. Thank you Ben & Jerry's for helping us build this movement to make peace as American as ice cream and apple pie."
