Photographer's Note
We have a new term in Denmark called "Welfare Tourists"
where immigrants and refugees seek out the countries which will give them the best deal.
We also have bus loads of Beggars who arrive from the former Eastern European countries on 14 days tourist visa,s, a lot of whom seem to disappear.
This gentleman is begging in Roskilde, but seems to have kept some of his dignity.

Know Your Zine: Railroad Semantics
Since the early 1900s people have been using freight trains as an illegal mode of transportation. Popularized by books like Jack Kerouac's "On the Road," and other writings of the Beat Generation, train-hopping has always been rich in literary material.
It had been a part of the fabric of American culture for years, but the "hobo" transportation system seems to have been forgotten in the modern era.
You probably won't hear your dork of a local news anchor reporting on it or your uptight teacher preaching about it, but there are still wanderers of the plains who hop on freights in search of adventure and escape.
Needless to say, when we came across this zine we needed to learn more. Train-hopping ain't dead–It's thriving, it's raw, it's adventurous . . . it's freedom.
Mass Appeal: How long have you been train-hopping for and how long into it did you decide to start documenting and creating a zine?
Aaron Dactyl: I've been riding trains for about a decade, but only in about the last five years has it become routine that I travel this way– and that coincided mainly with my coming out west and living hand to mouth.
I've always been a photographer and so I've always been compelled to document my travels and travails but I wasn't interested in driving to an overlook, taking a photograph, and then driving away. One hasn't earned the image. I've always felt that photography isn't just all pretty pictures, and I was sick of looking at pictures of flowers. There's an ugly side to things too, one dirty and difficult—as it should be—but if you could find the beauty in that, that's the key.
I looked at riding trains as an opportunity to photograph different landscapes from a grittier vantage point, a perspective few others got to see. This, over time, led to something of a reliance of traveling and "getting away from it all" to really spurn my creativity. I find that for me being sessile is stifling to my productive output and my overall general contentedness. Only when I'm out on the rails, or the road, in a town I've rarely been to do I really become enlivened enough to make photographs and to really write. Some people have to go out to a cabin in the woods or something and not be bothered so they can write; I literally flourish after getting off the train and tramping into a town I've never been to before. Unfortunately the paradox is that if you have a job then you can't really travel (and in my case I start to feel suffocated and deadened), but if you travel then you can't really have a job. Mi Madre got me to start keeping a journal when I was in like sixth grade so that's always been a component of my traveling too in one way or another.
What does your zine offer to people who they might not have ever been aware of?
Traveling is a core characteristic of our culture and society, often tied to our pursuit of happiness. Yet I find that people aren't as focused on the actual traveling part as they are with just being away, someplace else. For a lot of people the bulk of their traveling is spent zoning out, watching a movie, sleeping. But I'm at least as interested in the process of getting somewhere as I am with being there. As an example of this, I travel frequently between Portland and Eugene across the Willamette Valley. I've traversed it by car, truck, van, U-Haul, bus, on the back roads and on the main highway, dozens and dozens of times via Amtrak train, and I think about thirty-five different times I've hopped it on freight trains in the last six years. This is 122 miles of track, and each and every mile has a name, an etymology, a history and past. Paying attention to the minute details of a surrounding is captivating to me. I'm not as interested in writing about Portland over and over, but traveling through a small town named Gervais, or a side-track name Coalca. I wonder,"why is this place called that, and what does that mean?" To me that's the most interesting part—just really looking at where you are and trying to make meaning of it.
It can be difficult to appreciate the landscape from the highway because we are so desensitized to traveling that way and so numbed by all the artificial infrastructure, not to mention sensory bludgeoned with ads. But taking the backdoor way through the Valley makes it much easier to see the nakedness of the land. I've come to realize that I don't need to travel to some exotic place or foreign country to see beauty. I could spend the rest of my life simply exploring the great Pacific Northwest and it would never get old. So that's what I think the zine might be able to offer people that's different, and I hope it can inspire some people to appreciate their immediate surroundings more and to stop watching DVDs and flipping through iPhones when they're riding aboard a train.
What do you take with you on your trips?
When I travel I always bring everything I'm going to need for at least a night or two—a sleeping bag (two in the winter), a sleeping mat to insulate from the cold steel (cardboard works too), recently a tarp, and enough water. I find that being without either of those things can make life pretty miserable. I've been on trains that have broken down in the middle of nowhere, not stopped where I expected them to, and that have gone the wrong way entirely. One train ride took over thirty hours when it should've been like four. Another time the train stopped along the highway because a section of track had been washed out by heavy rainfall (I had to abandon the train altogether). The bottom line is that when riding trains you can never take anything for granted. Aside from these necessities I always carry a notebook to write, sometimes a book that I'm reading (though I tend to like to just pick up newspapers along the way), a digital camera, and lately I have been using a little electronic Olympus voice-recorder that I can talk into or record conversations. It's come in handy.
How do you publish and distribute your zine?
The publishing/printing/
How does the collage or somewhat unpredictable layout compliment the experience of train riding?
Since the layout of the zine is done entirely with Photoshop (it's really the only program I know), I kind of just freestyle the layout of each page as I go. I find this to be an extremely satisfying part of the production process, fitting all the words and images into a given space like a puzzle and conjuring creative ways to present it. But this style also compliments the sporadic lifestyle that train-hopping travel is, fragmented in so many ways and then in the end all kind of pieced back together once you've made it.
Lastly, I noticed the writing of correspondence on the box car walls to be very intriguing. Can you elaborate on the experience of encountering old writings as well as leaving new ones for people in the future?
There can be a lot of downtime to riding trains—a lot of waiting. One obvious way to deal with this, to pass the time, is to draw or write. And where people gather to wait for trains (what's generally called a "catch-out spot") you tend to find markings all over everything, not just the train cars. I enjoy applying my attention to detail to these fading tags. Once you start to decipher them they carry a lot of meaning, though they're basically just aliases and dates. I try to document as many as I can, because it turns out they mostly aren't just singular acts; they reappear in different towns, under different bridges in different cities. The larger context behind this is that hobos have been communicating in some form of graffiti since the advent of hopping trains –even Jack London had a moniker. I don't know who's to say who was the first (S.M.O.E., Kilroy, J.B. King Esquire?) but an astute hobo who went by A-No. 1 and rode trains in the early 1900s, developed a form of a hobo hieroglyphics that communicated to other hobos where to find work, where to find food, where to be at ease and where to be wary. No one uses this anymore, and it's now just lore, but it inspired a culture, mainly of railroad workers and other tramps, to carry on the tradition.
Sitting under some desolate railroad bridge I become enamored by the markings all around, and suddenly the place doesn't feel all that desolate. It's like having company when there is none. Many markings have to date developed into much more elaborate pieces, but there's a downside to this too: when an old boxcar gets painted over so do years of culture and monikers amassed from rolling around the country. The obvious solution is to document them while you can and appreciate the art so that it can survive for as long as possible. Though a moniker's eventual demise is inevitable, the tradition will continue to carry on in its most primitive form.

If Someone With Herpes Has No Sores, Can It Still Be Passed On?
If someone has herpes but no sores, can it still be passed on to another person?
– Spence*
Yes. Herpes can be passed on even if a partner has no sores or other signs and symptoms of an outbreak. And if a partner has a herpes outbreak, it's even more likely to be spread.
Even when a person doesn't have visible sores, the only surefire way to protect against getting genital herpes is abstinence. People who do have sex must use a latex condom correctly every time they have any form of sexual intercourse (vaginal, oral, or anal sex). Girls receiving oral sex should have their partners use dental dams as protection.
If one partner has a herpes outbreak (a tingling feeling that indicates an outbreak or visible sores), avoid sex — even with a condom or dental dam — until all sores have healed.

There are times in life when fate clearly steps in.
For Los Angeles filmmaker Matthew Buzzell, it happened in Athens. He'd earned an undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, then did some work in acting, but it wasn't quite the creative pursuit he was looking for.
In 1992, the Augusta native came to Athens on a sort of self-quest. He took a few classes at the University of Georgia - in historic preservation, Italian and then there was one taught by Jim Herbert, in filmmaking.
"To get into it, you had to go and meet with him," Buzzell says. "That was the class that set me on my path."
Buzzell, who went on to earn his MFA in directing at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, will be in Athens today for a screening of one of his films - the documentary "Tell Me Do You Miss Me," which follows the final tour in 2004-05 of legendary indie band Luna.
The film tells a sad story - about the break-up of a band that had been together since 1991. But making little money on record sales and facing the grueling aspect of touring and a changing music industry, the band opted to call it quits.
What also makes it special is that it tells a story of transition, too.
"It's about the end of a creative era for anybody who's that age - a sort of mid-life crisis," Buzzell says. "Anybody who's been on a creative path eventually reaches this kind of impasse, and there's a sort of bittersweetness in that realization."
Luna guitarist Sean Eden, a longtime friend of Buzzell who'll be in Athens to present the film today as well, says it's a realistic depiction. It captures a time in his life, he says, on an intimate level. "It's sort of a portal into your own personal story," Eden says.
Buzzell says he learned to tell that kind of personal story from Herbert.
"Jim instilled a very good sensitivity in his approach to filmmaking - it became a personal exercise. ... He has a great respect for the craft of filmmaking, and relaxing into the poetic experience of it."
Herbert, a retired professor from the drawing and painting department at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, taught several film classes and directed a number of R.E.M.'s early videos.
"He recognized there was something in me that wanted to do narrative films," Buzzell says of Herbert, and calls the time spent in his class "very encouraging."
Buzzell, who's toured the film festival circuit with "Tell Me Do You Miss Me" since it premiered in 2006 at New York's Tribeca Film Festival, is working on new projects now, in between shooting promotional films for musicians ranging from Patti LaBelle to Bad Religion.
As for Eden, he lives in New York City, five blocks away from two of his old band mates, Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips (Lee Wall lives in Los Angeles). Eden plays in several other bands in addition to doing soundtrack work. Luna, he says, isn't opposed to a reunion tour at some point. But for now, fans of the band will have to settle for seeing the band as it was, captured by Buzzell on its final tour.
• "Tell Me Do You Miss Me" screens at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. today at Ciné. Buzzell and Eden be in attendance to present and discuss the film. www.athenscine.com.

A lingering hand injury has ended Mets prospect Fernando Martinez' season prematurely.
Martinez, who has been out since June 23 because of the injury, made a pair of rehab appearances with the Gulf Coast League Mets last week but was forced to leave the second game because of hand pain. At that point the Mets decided to shut down Martinez for the remainder of the season.
Martinez, the Mets No. 2 prospect heading into the season, was hitting .271/.336/.377 in 236 at-bats with Binghamton before being shut down. Even when he did play he was bothered by the injury for most of the season.

I went to go see some friends of mine play last week at Chicago's Double Door. The show was $5.00. It was in the basement. It was a good time, especially for a Tuesday night: some beers were shared; some laughs were had; and some serious shit-kicking rock 'n' roll was brought into being and sustained for 42 minutes, galvanizing the attention of a small but eager crowd and fostering one of those rare occurrences where you can palpably feel a collective consciousness billowing out underneath the moldy rafters. "Ah," I thought, "live music is good right now. Five bucks? …well spent."
Umm, MEANWHILE:
Losses at Live Nation continued to grow throughout last quarter as a result of the cost of its merger with Ticketmaster, a drastic drop in income from Tickets Now, and generally faltering concert attendance. The company continues to claim that ye olde Ticketmaster merger (of which everyone was such a big fan) will eventually save them $40 million in redundant costs, seemingly disinterested in the fact that they have to, you know, actually sell tickets to make that happen. Last year they dropped 3% to 6.8 million from 7.1 million in the previous year, even though the total spending per concert-goer grew 2% to $59.71 from last year's $58.57 (possibly because ticket prices rose overall to help mitigate the cost of Lady Gaga's stage clothes).
Live Nation also took another slap-on-the-wrist-to-the-face when the ticket-reselling site Tickets Now — which had been delivering $15 million in revenue a year to its parent company Ticketmaster — was forced to remove its links from Ticketmaster's main site in cooperation with the feds to gain merger approval. After that, revenues from Tickets Now fell to $1 million. "The minute we had to unlink from our website, that business over the last year has deteriorated," says CEO Michael Rapino. "So we're looking at strategic options for that division." Might I suggest doing some $5.00 shows? Or maybe $5.00 footlongs, at least? That always seems like a good deal.

Flagstar Bancorp Inc. (NYSE:FBC) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2010-12-31.

Of these, 98 facilities are owned and 64 facilities are leased. Through our banking centers, we gather deposits and offer a line of consumer and commercial financial products and services to individuals and to small and middle market businesses. We also gather deposits on a nationwide basis through our website, FlagstarDirect.com, and provide deposit and cash management services to governmental units on a relationship basis throughout our markets.

At December 31, 2010, we had a total of $8.0 billion in deposits, including $5.4 billion in retail deposits, $0.7 billion in government funds, $0.9 billion in wholesale deposits and $1.0 billion in company-controlled deposits.
On November 15, 2010, we sold $474.0 million of non-performing residential first mortgage loans and transferred $104.2 million of additional non-performing residential first mortgage loans to the available for sale category. The sale and the adjustment to market value on the transfer resulted in a $176.5 million loss which has been reflected as an increase in the provision for loan losses.
On January 30, 2009, MP Thrift purchased 250,000 shares of our Series B convertible participating voting preferred stock for $250.0 million. Upon receipt of stockholder approval, such preferred shares converted automatically at $8.00 per share into 31.3 million shares of our common stock.

On December 31, 2009, we commenced a rights offering of up to 70,423,418 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the rights offering, each stockholder of record as of December 24, 2009 received 1.5023 non-transferable subscription rights for each share of common stock owned on the record date which entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at the subscription price of $7.10. On January 27, 2010, MP Thrift purchased 42,253,521 shares of common stock for approximately $300.0 million through the exercise of its rights received pursuant to the rights offering. During the rights offering, stockholders other than MP Thrift also exercised their rights and purchased 80,695 shares of common stock. In the aggregate, we issued 42,334,216 shares of common stock in the rights offering for approximately $300.6 million.
On March 31, 2010, we completed a registered offering of 57.5 million shares of our common stock, which included 7.5 million shares issued pursuant to the underwriters over-allotment option, which was exercised in full on March 29, 2010.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Exxon Mobil moved to bolster its U.S. natural gas reserves by announcing a $41 billion agreement Monday to acquire XTO Energy, a 23-year-old independent oil and gas company.
Analysts called the acquisition a bet on future demand for natural gas as the nation looks for energy sources with lower greenhouse-gas emission levels than coal and oil. It also reflects growing confidence among utilities and industry that recent advances in exploiting natural gas from widespread deposits of shale rock have unlocked vast supplies of gas for wider use at reasonable prices.
The deal reflects the "long-term energy view, which would be that natural gas would be the fastest-growing fuel over the next 30 to 40 years," said Deutsche Bank oil analyst Paul Sankey. "We're moving from a 20th century driven by gasoline to a 21st century driven by electricity, and the way you're going to generate it is through natural gas as much as anything."
"Natural gas . . . is the transition fossil fuel," said Larry Goldstein, a trustee with the Energy Policy Research Foundation.
The deal, which is subject to XTO shareholder approval and regulatory review, would be the fifth-largest acquisition of a U.S. energy company since 1995. It comes as global leaders meet at this week's Copenhagen summit focused on ways to slow climate change. Under its co-founder and chairman, Bob Simpson, a former accountant, XTO has specialized in buying up natural gas properties, including unconventional shale gas prospects and gas fields beyond their prime but with years of steady output ahead. And XTO has used financial devices to hedge against the risk of fluctuating prices.
To date, XTO has accumulated about 14 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves. The company produces more than 4 percent of total U.S. natural gas. The acquisition would double Exxon Mobil's U.S. natural gas reserves and boost Exxon's worldwide natural gas reserves by 10 percent, a hefty chunk for a giant that has dominated the industry for more than a century.
"Bob Simpson is a very clever guy," said Fadel Gheit, oil analyst at Oppenheimer & Sons. "He's like a guy betting on real estate in the run-down part of town. Eventually this place turns into a good place to live." The result, Gheit said, is that "Bob Simpson has created more value than any living person. The company's value is up 29-fold in 10 years."
Exxon Mobil agreed to pay $31 billion in stock and to assume $10 billion in XTO debt, even though gas prices have been sharply down for much of the year. The price represents a 25 percent premium over XTO's recent stock price, and the stocks of other big and medium-size independent domestic oil and gas companies jumped after the news. Exxon Mobil would issue 0.7 shares of stock in exchange for every share of XTO stock. XTO's stock jumped 15 percent Monday, to $47.86 a share.
Simpson, 61, would benefit handsomely from the deal. The XTO chairman, who relinquished the chief executive post last year, earned $65.5 million for the year in salary, bonus, stock awards and options. He owns 6.8 million shares of XTO Energy stock, now worth $325 million. (Only 14 months ago, Simpson was forced to sell 30 percent of his holdings when he faced a margin call.) His nephew is also a senior executive at the company.
Gheit said XTO Energy's expertise in exploiting shale gas resources in the United States would also help Exxon Mobil develop similar resources in areas it owns in Poland, Hungary and Germany.
XTO produces substantial amounts of gas from the Barnett shale region of Texas and has started producing in the Bakken formation in North Dakota. It is also stepping up drilling in the Marcellus region, which stretches through much of Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia.
But some analysts worried about Exxon Mobil's ability to hang on to XTO's skilled employees. "Exxon Mobil is buying one of the highest-regarded management teams in U.S. [exploration and production], and a major challenge could be retaining talent in a big and process-driven organization," said Paul Sankey, research analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities.
Analysts also attributed Exxon Mobil's decision to buy XTO Energy to the challenges of operating overseas. Exxon Mobil has exited Venezuela after a dispute with President Hugo Chávez and has been pressed by other governments eager to make sure their state-owned oil companies control their domestic resources.

Rugged comfort
B Hotel Quezon City tracks the unbeaten path with new design concept
Photos by Sonny Espiritu
The northern part of the metro gets a taste of the B Hotel brand of service and comfort as Bellevue Hotels & Resorts opens the second branch of its mid-scale business hotel at 14 Scout Rallos St., Diliman, Quezon City.
B Hotel QC rises up to the increasing need for accommodations in the area, offering corporate travelers and weekend staycationers exquisite amenities at reasonable rates. But the hotel, which is currently on soft opening since September 1, brings with it not just the basic conveniences but also a new design concept unusual for hotels in its category.
Standing 11 stories high, B Hotel QC appears like the usual modest contemporary lodge from the outside. The inside, however, is a different story. The hotel's interior design looks nothing like its Alabang counterpart or other business hotels, for that matter.
New look
The Arch. Edward Co Tan-designed B Hotel QC features a concrete-based architectural design concept after the Brutalism movement, a modernist architectural concept prominent in the 1950s to the 1970s. With bare walls, wooden panels, metal accents and fixtures, leather couches, and black-gray-brown-red contemporary palette, B Hotel QC is not trying to exude the elegant and homey vibe. It's industrial: rough, raw, and modern.
"We wanted something different for the aesthetics of our new branch," declares B Hotel managing director Ryan Chan. He continues, "The hotel's distinctly rugged texture will surely be a welcome change for businessmen and locals."
Amid the edgy masculine appeal of the hotel, white blooms, bold colored carpets, accent furniture (swivel couches in mustard yellow and cherry red), and hanging jar lamps add touches of warmth and vibrancy.
Hotel manager Carlo Librea believes they are the first one in the market to offer this kind of concept. And it is with this that they are optimistic to become the number one mid-scale hotel in the area. "Because we're offering something new, we're banking on the curiosity of the market," he shares.
But curiosity can only take an establishment so far.
Same service
People are drawn to a hotel because of its interesting appeal, but guests come back for the excellent service. And while B Hotel QC offers a different experience, it still banks heavily on top-notch service and convenience BH&R has mastered through the years.
With all things considered, comfort is still the key for any hotel. And comfort remains the top priority for the B Hotel staff. Each room is well appointed with all guest necessities, from cozy queen size or twin size bed, cable TV, Wi-Fi access, to basic bathroom amenities, among others.
Designed to be a four-star hotel, the Quezon City venture was furnished with a complete roster of in-house amenities. The Lobby Café offers filling meals and refreshing drinks for breakfast, lunch and dinner; the Mezzanine Bar is perfect for unwinding with friends and associates over cocktails or beers; and the Pastry Corner lets guests indulge in sweet decadent treats they can enjoy in the hotel or take home with them.
Guests may do a couple of laps in the outdoor pool or break a sweat at the fully-equipped gym.
For its corporate clients, B Hotel has a Business Center with two function rooms that can sit 15 to 30 people. It's also capable of hosting events at its ballroom that can accommodate 200 seated guests.
Safety is assured with security personnel deployed in and around the property, and CCTV cameras installed in all spots and corners.
Chan posits that a great business hotel goes beyond outward beauty and basic features. "We believe that focus on guest experience and satisfaction is the new business amenity," he says.
And while B Hotel still has some fine-tuning and finishing touches to do for its grand opening on October 30, it arguably has the head start against its competition: accessible location, new concept and an established brand of service. Its success now depends on improving and maintaining these assets.

Cancelling out rumors that he left purely for ongoing health issues, Swery65 is back in the game business with a new company and - presumably - a new game.
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut locked at 720p on PC, creator "embarrassed"
Screen resolutions are a major part of PC gaming, so when a little release comes along and dares to tell us what size we'll be viewing it in PC users proudly rebel in an orgy of mods and registry edits.
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut brings the 'polarizing' survival horror game to desktops, but it's now causing a stir not for its content, but for its locked resolution at 720p.
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut launching today on Steam

It's been almost 5 full months since we launched our expense reports that don't suck in the Google Apps Marketplace. During that time we've received a lot of great feedback from many of the new companies that came to us from the Marketplace (Welcome everyone!). From that feedback we've designed a setup wizard that breaks down the install process into simple, manageable steps and eases the transition for your company to use our app for your expense report management.
The wizard only shows the information most relevant and automatically adjusts to your needs to take the time and hassle out of setting up a company. The changes run deep under the hood, but the most notable differences are outlined below.
Sync with your company's employee email list
Sync your company email list to make sure everyone gets an Expensify account when you add us to your universal navigation bar. Syncing with your email list also lets us automatically keep your expense policy up to date with new hires, reducing the time and overhead spent on expanding your workforce. Use the drop downs next to each name to create an approval tree for all submitted expenses. Once the wizard is complete, we'll create accounts for your employees and send out a brief welcome email with some tips to get started.
Share administrator privileges with an accountant
Give your accountant access to the expense policy. They'll be able to make updates and set up the sync with QuickBooks to pull in your company's chart of expense accounts. Use the synced account list to auto-categorize transaction types and save your employees' time when they create their expense reports as well as increase the submission rate of correctly formatted reports.
Not using QuickBooks? Create your own expense categories!
Central billing
Learn about our pricing and set up a billing credit card for your company's use of Expensify. Remember, it's free for your company to receive expense reports from up to 2 people each month so you can skip this step and jump right in to an unlimited free trial. When you're ready to switch your entire company on to Expensify we'll show our pricing again and prompt for you to enter a billing credit card.

The Boys and Girls Club of the Redwoods in Crescent City has been in operation for 5andfrac12; years and has served hundreds of kids in Del Norte County. A traditional Club, we opened in March of 2005 under the leadership of the Humboldt County's Boys and Girls Club.
Our Mission: We empower youth to reach their full potential as responsible, caring and productive citizens through professionally led programs and activ-
ities that are fun, positive and relevant in a safe, supportive and healthy environment.
Over the course of time, we have looked up to our national organization's legacy of more than a hundred years of experience with awe and admiration. Great thought has gone into the diversity of national options ranging from character and leadership projects like the Torch Club to digital projects designed to bring kids experience in graphics, music, and arts using the computer as a tool for expression. The range of program options is astounding. Sports, fitness, family life and other activities are nationally sponsored by corporate giants like Major League Baseball, Coca- Cola, Kimberly Clark, JC Penney and others.
Clubs have the ability to pick and choose those options that its community needs, and which funds can support. Communities contribute to help create and sustain a safe haven for the Clubs in order to operate over the long term. This has been our model and legacy as we attempt to fill those shoes.
Our Club began as an after-school and year-round program serving 6- to 12-year-olds in the county's "Rec Gym," and has grown to serve 6- to 13-year-olds as its primary group, while accommodating drop-in groups, open gym floor times for teens and middle school age youth. No child has been turned away due to inability to pay. Special summer programs and community events participation have enhanced our focus.
Over time our club has become a model of stewardship, service, enrichment, recreation, participation and citizenship. We have added Warrior Summer Teen programming this summer, and worked with outreach sites such as the Lighthouse Community Center in the Bertsch Tract and the Plaza Communitaria of Smith River on special projects.
We have been supported by many major funders and grantors from The Office of Juvenile Protection to the California Endowment. During the last two years the majority of our funds have been generated by local efforts of grant writing, and donor contributions. Del Norte County has provided a home and funding to our program from the beginning through the auspices of the Rec building and provided major funding along with other entities including the City of Crescent City, community partner agencies, casino funds, and many individuals.
This summer we were surprised by a letter received in August that informed us, due to the difficulties faced in adequately managing and supporting a satellite Club so far from Eureka, and the current financial circumstances of recovery due to the economy, a decision was made by the Eureka Corporate Board to close the Boys and Girls Club in Crescent City and concentrate efforts on the Humboldt County clubs.
Previous efforts to create an independently chartered Crescent City program were denied by a widespread policy decision of the Boys and Girls Club of America, as it has seen the closure of about 1,000 clubs across the country in the wake of the economy's financial downturn. Not inclined to be swayed by these discouraging financial times, and understanding the roots of efforts such as these clubs are found in the perseverance and generosity of individuals with a vision of the future, our staff and supporters seek to defy the odds, counting on the desire of our community to help us weather these times and lead the effort to keep an independent Del Norte Clubhouse open for business.
Despite the difficulty of this undertaking, we understand the importance of leading youth toward a positive, productive destiny and know that this is an effort worth making for our community. The youth are our future and it takes all of us to make systems change and reflect our local will. We wish to thank all of those numerous unnamed individuals, businesses, families and entities that have helped us provide opportunities for kids, through your generosity of time or treasure. We hope to work with you again in the future as we move forward with the goal of providing continuous programs for Del Norte County through our reorganization.
The need has not gone away: The mission of providing a safe haven and healthy activities for youth will be there long after the door shuts on this chapter. Your help and support are what will make the difference. Donations to help us in this effort can be directed to the Wild Rivers Foundation, or c/o The Family Resource Center, earmarked for the Del Norte Youth Clubhouse. All funds will remain locally controlled in the most efficient manner possible.
Thank you for helping us open this new chapter in the continuation of a story authored here by the vision of generations of young people who deserve the most we can offer as a community. The Del Norte Youth Clubhouse offices can be reached by leaving a message at (707) 465-0405, the P. O. Box is 1707 Crescent City, 95531. All donations are tax deductible.
Holly Gensaw is the local director for the Boys and Girls Club.

Almost 70,000 litres of wine and seat, a German sparkling wine, was also shipped to the soldiers, the defence ministry figures showed.
The figures imply that the 3,600 German troops in Afghanistan as part of Nato's ISA operation are each drinking around 490 pints or beer as well as 128 normal measures of wine.
The revelations have provided ammunition to critics of Germany's role in the Afghan mission.
Some claim that German troops spend too much time in the relatively safe areas in the north of the country.
British soldiers are only allowed to drink moderate amounts of alcohol while US soldiers are banned from consuming it completely.
The German defence ministry defended their troops, saying that consumption was well within the allowed limit, The Guardian newspaper reported.
Alcohol consumption among German soldiers is expected to increase as the country increases the number of its troops engaged in operations in Afghanistan by a further 900.

ATHENS, Ga. -- The numbers speak for Mike Bobo these days, but Georgia coach Mark Richt sang his praises following Saturday's win against Tennessee, anyway.
After watching his Bulldogs score 51 points -- extending Georgia's program-record string of five straight games with 40-plus points and total 560 yards against the Volunteers, Richt heaped compliments on his offensive coordinator.
"Mike has just blossomed into one heck of a coach," Richt said of Bobo, who has been the target of plenty of fan criticism in recent seasons. "I know anybody who calls plays catches grief. I was a play-caller and I caught my share of grief, and so anybody calling plays catches grief. But I've always known Mike as just a heck of a ball coach. He understands the game.
"Even myself as a coordinator, I understood the pass game pretty darn good, and I understood the run game to a certain degree, but not to the degree that Mike understands it. He really understands how to run that ball and how to call the game, and the run game, too."
Richt has always publicly supported of his offensive coordinator, even when some fans didn't share his confidence in Bobo. But in 2012, thus far at least, that confidence is paying off with offensive production that no Georgia team has ever matched.
Through five games, Georgia ranks eighth nationally in scoring offense (48.2 points per game), 11th in total offense (536 yards per game), 11th in rushing offense (250.4 ypg) and 29th in passing offense (285.6 ypg). Only Florida State's average of 8.1 yards per play is better than Georgia's 7.98. Not even the Oregons and West Virginias and Oklahoma States, who are better known for playing wide-open offensive football, can match the Bulldogs.
Richt believes those statistics serve as confirmation that what he sees in the meeting room is translating first to Georgia's practice field and then to games on Saturdays.
"I sit in there in just about every one of the offensive staff meetings and I'm more observing than I'm in there directing. I'm not directing. Mike's directing it," Richt said. "And I listen to them game plan, I listen to their thoughts, I'll give them a couple of suggestions here and there, but for the most part I just nod my head saying, 'These guys really know what they're doing. I don't need to get in the way of them.' They're doing a super job."
Tight ends' role: Last Saturday's 51-44 win against Tennessee was a banner outing for Georgia's offense in general and for the tight ends in particular.
Arthur Lynch set a new career high for receiving yards for the second time in three games -- he led the team with 75 yards on three grabs -- and it also marked the first time that both Lynch and redshirt freshman Jay Rome (who made a leaping 21-yard grab on a first-quarter touchdown drive) made receptions in the same game.
They expect more matching contributions in the future, although that won't necessarily always come in the passing game.
"When my number's called for a pass play, I have full confidence in my hands," Rome said. "I have full confidence in Artie's hands. I know we're going to make plays. And when they call us to block, I have confidence that we're going to get the blocking assignments done, too. So I wouldn't really say it's a breakout because I feel like it's always been there and it's going to be there."
That blocking responsibility will be particularly important on Saturday against South Carolina, when the Bulldogs face two All-SEC-caliber defensive ends in Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor. Georgia's tight ends didn't have a catch against the Gamecocks last season and this year might be more of the same if the coaching staff decides they are more valuable assisting the offensive line against the South Carolina defensive front.
Lynch looks forward to that assignment, however, as it will be the best gauge yet of the blocking progress the new tight ends and offensive linemen have truly made this season.
"It's definitely going to be a kind of "let's test our manhood a little bit because they say they're the best in the country' -- and all film and all stats say they are, because that's exactly what they are," Lynch said. "We went against them last year and I thought we did a pretty good job.
"Everyone complained that we didn't catch any balls last year, but I thought we did a good job of blocking the ends. But they're a year older, a year more mature, a year stronger so it's definitely going to be an interesting battle, but I'm excited to kind of see where I am on a personal level."
Geathers' 'fan base:' Georgia defensive end Abry Jones enjoys playing road games in general, but he is looking forward to visiting South Carolina in particular because of the reception he expects Bulldogs nose guard Kwame Geathers to receive from his home-state fans.
"I'm definitely going to enjoy this one, being a big game, great atmosphere, but I love going to South Carolina with Kwame because I know they hate him," Jones said. "I'm definitely ready to hear what they're going to say about him."
Geathers, a 6-foot-6, 355-pound junior from Georgetown, S.C., is one of two scholarship Bulldogs from South Carolina and also has family ties to the school in Columbia. His older brother Clifton played for the Gamecocks and his cousin Carlton plays for South Carolina's basketball team.
Jones said Gamecocks fans reminded Geathers of those connections in unfriendly terms when the Bulldogs last visited in 2010.
"Then when we end up losing, it just got even worse," Jones laughed. "I know before the game, we were coming out of the tunnel and Kwame, he's not a hard guy to miss, so you definitely spot him out and they were pointing him out and you could already tell they were going to give it to him."
Jones expects to contribute more significantly on Saturday after a sprained ankle suffered against Vanderbilt limited his snap count in the Tennessee game. Jones said he played only 16 to 18 downs against the Vols and contributed only on third-down situations in the second half.
The senior said the ankle continues to heal and seemed that confident he will be ready for Saturday.
"It's getting better as I go," Jones said. "The good thing about senior year is you don't have the same amount of classes and you've got a lot of free time to get treatment."

Ok. It came the time I have to brace myself and start delineating some error handling strategy for my pet project. I'm probably doing this late already since the usual advise is "delineate a rational error handling strategy early in your project and stick to it."
But I understand the operative word in the above quote is rational. And that is what scares me. Everyone I read so far are very clear that there is no clear way to deal with this. Freedom can be a very scary thing, and it doesn't mean we can't go wrong. Probably the best quote I've found so far is "There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works".
So, I won't be asking for specific advise. I understand you can't give it unless I can give a specific example. Which unfortunately for most cases, I can't.
Anyways, the tools I'm going to use are:
* C++ Exceptions,
* Assert,
* Boost::static_assert (compile-time assertions)
* and of course... avoiding errors.
Some notions:
- My project is OOP oriented. Everything is an object. Objects have relations.
- Classes responsibility includes managing themselves.
- Some preconditions, postconditions and invariants are dependant on the programmer, others on user input.
And here goes my first doubt (more to come):
One of the difficulties I'm having is understanding exactly when and how to use exceptions. Here's an example, some classes are instantiated from dat files. If the file is non existing or its data is corrupt this is a runtime error of which there is no solution. The program must abort. Should I throw an exception from within the class even considering that the only way to handle is to abort? And how do I abort gracefully from within a class definition making sure all my resources are cleaned?
Currently what I have is something like this:
Is this correct?Code:// CObject.hpp class objects_file_error : public std::runtime_error { public: objects_file_error(): std::runtime_error("obj.dat file is missing or corrupt.") {} }; class CObject { // inlining it just to cut down on typing virtual bool load(const std::string& id) try { /*...*/ } catch (objects_file_error& err) { /*... here I output the error message ... */ throw; } };
And what about moving user-defined exception classes to their own header file and create some hierarchy from there?

April 14 is Ex-Spouse Day, International Moment of Laughter Day and Look Up at the Sky Day:
Ex-Spouse Day
Some holidays are hard to swallow. Ex-Spouse Day is one of them. Reverend Ronald Coleman of Kansas City, Mo., created the holiday, according to The Deseret News. "The trauma of a broken relationship is often a controlling force in a divorced person's life, interfering with his or her ability to form another intimate relationship."
Considering that approximately half of all first marriages in America end in divorce, there are plenty of people who could celebrate Ex-Spouse Day. The percentage increases for second and third marriages and is also higher for childless couples than it is for married couples with kids.
Take a moment to remember that at one time you did love your former spouse at one time. Ex-Spouse Day gives you the chance to forgive, forget and move on. No, you don't have to become best friends with your ex, but you can move on from the past and let bygones be bygones.
International Moment of Laughter Day
He calls himself America's humorologist and he wants you to laugh it up. Author, corporate motivator and professional speaker Izzy Gesell believes "shared laughter is love made audible." He doesn't recall exactly when he started International Moment of Laughter Day, only that it was at least 20 years ago.
"The catalyst was a realization through my humor work that people thought either they were not funny or they weren't aware of the benefits of humor. My idea was to encourage people to take one day and start expanding their humor like smoking cessation day aimed to help folks become aware." — Izzy Gesell (via email)
To celebrate he recommends the following:
* Look in the mirror and laugh out loud for 30 seconds
* Go through your mementos stuck in the basement and reconnect with symbols of happiness
* Call a friend and share a funny story
Look up at the Sky Day
You never what you'll see when you look up at the sky. On April 14, 1781, "Charles Messier received word that Friedrich Herschel discovered planet Uranus on March 13. He wrote to Herschel: 'It does you the more honor as nothing could be more difficult than to recognize it and I cannot conceive how you were able to return several times to this star or comet as it was necessary to observe it several days in succession to perceive that it had motion, since it had none of the usual characters of a comet.'"
Centuries later, Space Shuttle Columbia completed its first flight and returned to Earth on April 14, 1981.
* Grab a blanket, have a picnic and look up at the sky. You may see birds, kites, planes, or a cloud shaped like Snoopy.
* Have a stargazing party and bonfire with a small group of friends. Look up and admire the sky.
* Brush up on your astronomy knowledge by viewing HubbleSite's Tonight's Sky.

PS4 and Xbox One launch sales could be closer than we think
The next-gen console competition could be a lot closer than we all think. Most research firms, surveys, and polls indicate that the PS4 will outsell the Xbox One at launch, and while the latest estimate from IHS Games and Research seems to agree, the firm believe sales will be much closer than anticipated.
"With the determination of both companies not to give either a head start, the simultaneous launch of both PS4 and Xbox One results in a more complex forecasting environment," IHS said in a note on Wednesday (via CNBC). The firm estimates that Sony will sell about 2.4 million PS4 consoles by the end of 2013, while Microsoft will sell around 2.2 million Xbox One consoles in the same period. Although the PS4 is still expected to outsell the Xbox One, the company's latest forecast paints a much more competitive picture -- not the 2:1 ratio some have predicted.
IHS believes geographical brand allegiances will remain in place, leading to the Xbox One outselling the PS4 in North America. The PS4, on the other hand, is expected to outsell the Xbox One across Europe.
The company notes the Xbox One's launch sales should be "significantly stronger" than that of the Xbox 360 because the community is much larger than the transition from the original Xbox to the Xbox 360.
The PS4, meanwhile, has price on its side. The PlayStation 4 will release this Friday (Nov. 15) for $399, while the Xbox One will launch a week later (Nov. 22) for $499.
"Back in 2006/2007, the PS3 launched at an eye-watering price point of $599/€599/£425, making it at least $200 more expensive than Xbox 360 at launch. This time round Sony has the pricing edge, which IHS believes will strengthen its sales potential in both North America and the U.K. - geographies dominated by Xbox 360 during the current generation," the firm said.
Of course, the success of a console comes down to more than just initial launch sales. As we learned with this generation anything can happen in the span of 10-or-so years. On that topic, the firm commented, "IHS believes that Sony's wider geographical brand allegiance - especially across continental Europe and Japan - will be decisive in allowing PS4 to outsell Xbox One on a global basis by the end of 2017."
IHS estimates that Sony will sell about 49 million PS4 consoles by the end of 2017, while Microsoft will sell about 38 million Xbox One consoles over the same period.
Do you plan on purchasing a PS4 or Xbox One at launch?

I talked to Jamie today, he seems like a good guy and really knows his stuff. He told me it would probably be around $125 - $150. I'm sure he could do a fine repair on it, but for that price I could send it back to the factory and have them do it there which is probably a better deal for the price. Having it repaired by the people who built it just seems to make the most sense to me since there is no price difference between the two.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

Technology The Wildcat Way in Salina
KSAL Staff - April 17, 2016 8:28 am
The newly named K-State Polytechnic campus in Salina opened its doors to the public Saturday, and invited one and all to an open house. Hundreds of prospective students and their families were joined by interested citizens in learning about what the school is all about.
There were tours, activities, and displays.
Highlights included the opportunity to fly in an aviation simulator, robot and drone demonstrations, a chemistry magic show, and a video game competition.
As part of the open house the K-State fleet of aircraft was on display, along with other current and historic aircraft. Alumni pilots from around the country returned to be a part of the event.
The open house is an annual event that take place simultaneously on all of the Kansas State University campuses.
DID you mean K-State Salina?

@mudduck and dumbdem, if you two think that SPD and other police officers need to be held at a higher standard and they need to be able to serve and protect and be trusted, maybe you two should look into who struthers has on the police force and look at records, a LOT worse then an OVI!!! This will be my last comment on this subject matter because I have better things to do with my life than listen to this bs...
September 11, 2013 at 9:06 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
@gdog4766, I understand about liability and responsibilities, he has already gone through enough, we get it! He lost his job so like LRG said he his now a citizen going through due process..as far as for what SPD could've done, why not do what they did with other officers that have gotten into similar situations and they could've offered him a desk job...look at how many officers in all cities have DUI's and still have their jobs..there is no evidence of him having a bad jacket or having other issues!! Ppl need to start stepping back and asking themselves, what if this was my son or daughter, brother or sister..it's about time that ppl let this issue go
September 3, 2013 at 12:08 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
@dumbdem, yes I will stick up for him, all because the jack hole mayor doesn't like him and has made it known to not only a few ppl, but to many ppl! Maybe society should worry about their own problems and stop worrying and harassing others... Your name says it all too!! Dumbdem!!!
September 3, 2013 at 11:27 a.m. permalinksuggest removal
I can't believe that this is all they want to talk about when it's been over a year!!! Get a life starmack!! Maybe we should turn focus on your "relations" with the SPD, I bet that would get more ppl interested!

The whole debacle started, he says, when his agent, Scott Boras, told him the
Yankees didn't want him anymore. "But they were trying to reach out to you. It's
kind of hard to believe that you were taking Scott Boras' word as gospel when
you had all these other signs coming from Yankee management," Couric remarks.
"You're right," Rodriguez says. Asked why he fell for that, Rodriguez said, "Why
wouldn't I trust my attorney. Most people trust their attorneys. I'm a baseball
player. I'm not an attorney. I've never negotiated a contract."
When your biggest client tells the world that you're a liar, you are pretty much done as a lawyer. Hard to say now if that goes for lawyer/agents like Boras, but it should.

The younger brother of Massachusetts' newly elected senator Scott Brown says that Republican leaders in Connecticut are urging him to follow in his brother's footsteps and run for state office.
Bruce Brown said that GOP pols, including party leader Lawerence Cafero, were encouraging. But, Brown added, "it wouldn't be something I'd jump into right away without doing some exploratory things."
Bruce Brown, who owns a surveillance and security company in Wolcott, Conn., has never held a public office.
The younger Brown was in Boston to celebrate his brother's stunning upset over Democrat Martha Coakley and said it was a thrilling event.
"It was exciting," Brown said. "The atmosphere was outstanding."
Bruce Brown said that he could see his brother Scott making a run at the White House in 2012. Bruce speculated that a Scott Brown/Mitt Romney ticket would be hard to beat.
The father of two said he was proud of the campaign his brother ran. "From a brother's standpoint, it's probably one of the best feelings you could ever have," Brown said.

My dealers are very excited about this product. They no longer have to worry about installing external paging equipment for most jobsMatt Bellisario, Mid Atlantic Sales
Sarasota, Florida (PRWEB) July 07, 2014
IPitomy, a leader in VoIP unified communications platforms including premise based and virtual cloud based business solutions, announced today that it has released an innovative new SIP paging speaker with talkback capability. When combined with an IPitomy IP PBX System, the paging speakers come to life. IPitomy Systems have paging applications that enhance the value of the SIP paging speaker by delivering paging to hallways, break rooms and warehouse areas with only a single Ethernet cable.
Installations costs are greatly reduced. Auto-discovery and feature and programming is quickly accomplished through IPItomy's award-winning intuitive GUI interface. Powered by a POE, installation is much quicker than traditional speakers. The speaker has a built in microphone for talkback applications, and there is also an external microphone input for those areas with taller ceilings, allowing for a microphone to be installed in a convenient adjacent location. IPitomy SIP speakers have three adjustable-depth wing clamps on the back allowing the speaker to be easily installed into ceiling tiles, drywall ceilings or other recessed mounting areas. 13 Watts of power offers plenty of volume for spaces of any size.
Speakers can also be programmed into unlimited page groups for multiple customized paging zones. Multi-cast paging is also available for larger scale implementations.
Matthew Bellisario Mid-Atlantic sales adviser for IPitomy says, "My dealers are very excited about this product. They no longer have to worry about installing external paging equipment for most jobs, which makes installation and customization much more streamlined than older paging systems." While dealers have much to be happy about, so do the businesses that utilize the SIP speakers. Quicker implementation, customization as well as eliminating the need for external equipment results in lower cost of ownership than traditional paging systems.
IPitomy's leadership in the industry is evident in this latest product development.
