Projects Will Help Reduce Wildfire Threat
Sacramento – Monday, CAL FIRE announced it had awarded an additional $3 million in grants throughout the state for a variety of fire prevention projects aimed at reducing the elevated threat of wildfires due to the ongoing drought and significant tree mortality. The announcement comes just two months after CAL FIRE released nearly $2 million for fire prevention projects in the counties hit hardest by tree mortality and bark beetle.
"This grant funding will help communities prepare for what is likely to be another challenging fire season," said Chief Ken Pimlott, CAL FIRE director and California's state forester. "These grants will help complete vital fire prevention projects to help mitigate some of the impacts created by four years of drought and hazardous fuel build up."
These grants are part of $5 million from the State Responsibility Area Fire Prevention Fund allowing local fire departments and fire districts to create projects that help to reduce the threat of wildfires around homes within the State Responsibility Area. With today's announcement for funding of 44 additional projects, it brings the total number of projects funded to 63. These projects will reinforce and augment CAL FIRE's ongoing projects and efforts to address the risk and potential impacts of large, damaging wildfires. Grant selection criteria weighted projects that address fire risk and potential impact of wildfire to habitable structures in the State Responsibility Area, as well as community support and project feasibility.

SAN FRANCISCO - Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today announced a preliminary approval of settlements resolving allegations that LG, Hitachi, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Samsung, companies all based in Japan or Korea, fixed prices on critical components of televisions and computer monitors from 1995 to 2007. Those critical components, known as Cathode Ray Tubes or CRTs, were used to display images on computer monitors and televisions screens before they were replaced by flat screens. The court has approved the settlement pending valid objections submitted within 60 days.
The companies' price fixing scheme caused damage to California consumers and government entities that overpaid for their televisions and computers. The announced settlement has led to legally enforceable judgments against these foreign companies.
"LG, Hitachi, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Samsung deliberately targeted the U.S. market to raise prices for televisions and computers worldwide," said Attorney General Harris. "These settlements bring justice and relief to California consumers and end the malicious practice of price-fixing by these companies."
The settlements, which were filed in San Francisco Superior Court, require all five companies to pay a total of $4.95 million to settle claims of overcharges paid by California government entities, general damages suffered by the State's economy, and civil penalties. The settlements require that the companies pay back the illegally obtained profits to those affected by their actions. In addition, the settlements include injunctive relief, which requires that each company engage in company-wide antitrust compliance training and reporting that involves products in addition to CRTs and extends to foreign companies and subsidiaries. Finally, the settlements include requirements, enforceable by the court via fines and imprisonment, to prevent future violations of antitrust law.
In 2011, after the Office of Attorney General Harris conducted a confidential investigation into price-fixing involving CRTs, Attorney General Harris filed complaints against these companies for having entered into a price-fixing conspiracy of critical components of television and computer screens. That conspiracy involved top-level meetings of key executive decision-makers in Asia and Europe to set prices and outputs of CRTs. It also involved worldwide meetings among lower-level executives to exchange confidential information. Californian subsidiaries of these companies were involved in this conspiracy and took on the role of monitoring the prices of televisions and computers in California stores.
This case, filed by Attorney General Harris, requested the court award damages to California consumers. A parallel case filed by private counsel in federal court, known as the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs, also requested damages on behalf of Californians, and Attorney General Harris and the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs coordinated their discovery and settlement efforts.
Due to these coordinated efforts, California consumers or sole proprietorships that purchased at least one television or computer between 1995 and 2007 can make a claim, with a guaranteed minimum check of $25.
All eligible California consumers and sole proprietorships can file claims for reimbursement at https://www.crtclaims.com/. The new deadline for filing those claims is June 30, 2016.
In December 2015, Attorney General Harris announced a settlement resolving allegations that Pratibha Syntex Ltd., a company based in India, gained an unfair competitive advantage over American-based companies by using pirated software in the production of clothing imported and sold in California. The settlement, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, required Pratibha Syntex to pay $100,000 in restitution, prohibited Pratibha Syntex from using unlicensed software or reproducing any part of a copyrighted software program without the permission of the legitimate copyright holder, and required the company to perform four complete audits of the software on their computers and fix any violations within 45 days. That case marked the first time a state has secured a legally enforceable judgment against an international company for these types of violations.
Copies of the complaint, memorandum in support of preliminary approval, and the order granting preliminary approval, are all attached to the online version of this release at www.oag.ca.gov/news. Further details can also be found at http://oag.ca.gov/consumers/crt_notice.

Sexual Assault Arrest - Fillmore
By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Tuesday, February 16th, 2016
In January of 2015, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office began investigating a series of phone scams targeting Ventura County Residents. In each of the cases, a caller would identify himself as a Captain with the Ventura County Sheriff's Office and inform the resident he/she had failed to report for Jury Duty. The suspect would inform the resident there was a warrant issued for their arrest and demanded $5,000 to recall the warrant. Investigators were able to identify the suspect's phone number and found he was calling hundreds of potential victims a day.
Based on phone records, the targeted victims lived in various areas throughout the United States. The suspect showed a degree of sophistication in his attempted crimes by changing his phone number on almost a daily basis. Investigators found all of the phone calls originated from a cell phone located inside the Jimmy Autry Correctional Institute in Pelham, Georgia. Investigators learned the FBI was actively investigating charges of corruption in the institution. At the time of the investigation, there were no known completed transfers of money by Ventura County residents. The Sheriff's Office deferred its investigation and provided the FBI with details of its case. The FBI recently announced its federal indictments as a result of their corruption investigation.
To date, the suspect in the Ventura County phone scam attempts has not been identified. For more information on the FBI's corruption investigation, please refer to the below link. http://www.justice.gov/usao-ndga/pr/further-corruption-involving-georgia...

SAN FRANCISCO - Attorney General Kamala D. Harris and Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O'Malley today announced a settlement with Comcast Cable Communications LLC ("Comcast") to resolve allegations that Comcast both unlawfully disposed of hazardous waste and discarded records without first omitting or redacting private customer information. As part of the settlement, Comcast will pay a total of $25.95 million.
"Comcast's careless and unlawful hazardous waste disposal practices jeopardized the health and environmental well-being of California communities and exposed their customers to the threat of identity theft," said Attorney General Harris. "This agreement holds Comcast accountable for breaking the law and puts strict measures in place to prevent them from putting Californians and our environment at risk in the future."
"Today's settlement represents a victory in California's ongoing efforts to ensure that hazardous waste is disposed of in a safe, legal and environmentally sustainable manner," states Alameda County DA Nancy E. O'Malley. "Not only will my office pursue all necessary legal action against entities that pollute our environment, but we will also use all legal means to ensure California's consumers' private information is protected. My office will continue to work together with state and local agencies to investigate and prosecute violations against our environment."
The civil enforcement action and proposed settlement against Comcast were filed today in Alameda County Superior Court by Attorney General Harris and District Attorney O'Malley. The settlement requires court approval before it becomes final.
Today's announcement stems from a robust investigation by the offices of Attorney General Harris and District Attorney O'Malley, assisted by the Department of Toxic Substances Control and the California Highway Patrol. According to the investigation, since 2005, Comcast warehouse and dispatch facilities and customer service centers throughout the state unlawfully handled and disposed of various hazardous waste products, routinely and systematically sending these materials to local landfills that were not permitted to receive these items. The majority of the hazardous waste was electronic equipment such as remote controls, splitters, routers, modems, amplifiers, and power adapters. The investigation also uncovered that Comcast discarded documents containing sensitive customer information, including names, addresses and phone numbers, into the trash without shredding them or making them unreadable, potentially exposing the information to identity thieves.
If approved by the court, under the final judgment, Comcast must pay $19.85 million in civil penalties and costs. An additional $3 million will fund projects furthering environmental and consumer protection and enforcement in California. Comcast will also be providing CalRecycle with $2.25 million in airtime over a four-year period and $150,000 to develop and produce public service announcements that educate the public on the proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste they might generate, including electronics. Finally, Comcast will spend a minimum of $700,000 to enhance its environmental compliance and will be prohibited from violating these laws in the future, under the terms of a permanent injunction.
Upon notice of the investigation, Comcast agreed to cooperate and, at the request of the Attorney General and the Alameda County DA, took interim steps to improve its hazardous and universal waste management compliance programs. As part of the settlement, Comcast has committed to fund multiple measures over the next five years to enhance its environmental compliance. Comcast will also be required to hire an independent auditor to conduct three audits of its environmental and customer privacy compliance over the next five years. There are ten Comcast facilities in Alameda County and all ten facilities are subject to the terms of the settlement.
Last year, Attorney General Harris and District Attorney O'Malley reached a $23.8 million settlement with AT&T over similar hazardous waste disposal violations.
Copies of the civil enforcement action and proposed settlement are attached to the online version of this release at oag.ca.gov/news.

Over 29 Million Trees Dead Due to Drought and Bark Beetle
Sacramento – As California's severe drought and bark beetle epidemic has left millions of trees dead, the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection last week voted to extend a drought mortality exemption to the state's tree removal permitting process.
"With massive tree mortality across California, this exemption streamlines the process for landowners who are working to reduce their wildfire risk and safety hazards from falling trees by removing their dead trees," said Helge Eng, CAL FIRE's deputy director of resource management.
On June 17, 2015, the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection initially adopted emergency regulations allowing specified forest management activities, including the cutting or removal of trees that are dead or dying as a result of the drought conditions across California. The original action was set to expire on January 12, 2016; however, the extension provides an additional 90 days for property owners to utilize the exemption when removing dead trees due to the drought.
The latest aerial survey estimated that over 29 million trees have died as a result of the drought and the effects of bark beetle infestation, up from 3.3 million in 2014. These dead and dying trees create an environment more readily susceptible to dangerous and destructive wildfires.
"Even with recent rains it will likely take years to slow down the massive tree mortality and bark beetle infestation, said Eng. "Dead trees near homes, roads and public infrastructure create a fire hazard and public safety concern, so it's critical that residents remove their dead trees and reduce their wildfire risk."
The bark beetle epidemic has hit California's wildland forests in the coastal ranges, mountains and foothill communities, posing particular threat where dead trees are near homes and private property. In these areas, CAL FIRE has launched a public outreach campaign to educate and motivate residents to take steps now to protect their home and property from wildfire. The campaign began in the summer with the message "Remove Your Dead Trees. Reduce Your Wildfire Risk." Property owners are encouraged to remove dead trees on their property to help protect from wildfire.

VENTURA, California – District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today the filing of a felony complaint charging Santa Clara Waste Water Company, Green Compass Environmental Solutions LLC, William James Mitzel of LaVerne (DOB 03/15/1957) and Marlene Joan Faltemier of Ventura (DOB 01/13/1965) for crimes related to the operations of Santa Clara Waste Water Company (SCWWC) in Santa Paula, California. The complaint alleges three felony offenses including conspiracy, reckless disregard in handling of hazardous waste causing unreasonable risk, unlawful disposal of hazardous waste, and allegations these crimes were committed while the defendants were out on bail. The complaint also charges seven misdemeanor charges for failing to report hazardous materials to regulatory officials.
On November 5, 2015, district attorney investigators executed a search warrant at the SCWWC facility in Santa Paula. Investigators found in excess of 5,000 gallons of hazardous waste, some of which has been identified as Saxon 10-81/Psc3, a corrosive chemical industrial cleaning agent, that SCWWC had not previously reported to Ventura County Environmental Health, as required by law. These hazardous chemicals were stored in numerous totes and drums within a shipping container that are alleged to have been hidden on SCWWC's site prior to the November 18, 2014 explosion, without making proper notification to regulatory authorities.
Mitzel and Faltemier were arrested today by the District Attorney's Bureau of Investigation. Ventura Superior Court Judge Mark Borrell set bail at $500,000 for each defendant.
Arraignment for Mitzel and Faltemier is expected to be set on or after December 14, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. in courtroom 12 of the Ventura Superior Court. SCWWC and Green Compass Environmental Solutions

VENTURA, California – District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that the Ventura County District Attorney's Consumer and Environmental Protection Unit and the California Attorney General's Office have jointly filed a civil law enforcement action against Cars 4 Causes, a Ventura-based vehicle donation organization. Cars 4 Causes attracts prospective donors by promising to donate the majority of a donated vehicle's sales proceeds to the donor's specified charity.
The complaint alleges that Cars 4 Causes violated California's false advertising and unfair competition laws by overstating the proportion of proceeds to be forwarded to donors' specified charities, and that Cars 4 Causes often failed to forward any proceeds to charity at all, instead spending the proceeds on its own advertising campaigns, operating expenses and salaries. Cars 4 Causes' last tax return reported that, despite raising over $5 million in donated vehicles, less than 10 percent of the proceeds were paid to any charity. In addition, Cars 4 Causes failed to pay $2 million of sale proceeds to thousands of charitable organizations around the country, including over $600,000 that should have been given to charities serving the sick and providing medical research; $250,000 to children's and education charities; and $200,000 to charities serving the poor.
The Attorney General and the District Attorney are requesting that the court order Cars 4 Causes to cease making misrepresentations, and to pay all moneys owed to the donors' specified charities.

VENTURA, CA - District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that a jury found Rosalba Moran (DOB 8/10/92), of Oxnard, guilty of first-degree murder for leaving her newborn baby to die in a ditch at a Camarillo strawberry field in May 2012. Moran was a former employee of the farm where the baby was found and was identified as the mother through DNA testing.
Moran went into an empty field that was surrounded by a locked fence to give birth undetected. She left the baby concealed in the ditch which was two feet below street level, surrounded by heavy brush, and 150 feet from the locked entrance. Before leaving the scene at sundown, Moran recorded a video of the baby on her cell phone, which showed the baby alive and struggling. During the video, Moran separated the baby's legs to get a close-up view of his genitals. She tried to send the video to the baby's father in Mexico, whom she said was not willing to help raise the child. Moran used her cell phone to call a family member to pick her up and told no one that the baby was left alive in the field. She returned to her home in Oxnard and never attempted to seek any help for the baby. The baby died from exposure and his body was discovered by a worker three days later.
Sentencing for Moran is scheduled January 7, 2015, at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom 27 of the Ventura Superior Court. Based upon the gravity of the offense, the District Attorney will seek a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

LOS ANGELES – As we honor our military service members on Veterans Day, Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today issued a consumer alert to Californians regarding scams targeting seniors who served in the military and their survivors. These scams have been reported to the California Department of Justice's Public Inquiry Unit.
These reported "pension poaching" scams prey on veterans and target the financial assistance offered through the Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance Program, which provides pension benefits to financially disadvantaged wartime veterans and their survivors over 65 years of age.
Specifically, pension poaching scams involve unscrupulous insurance agents and their representatives posing as unpaid volunteers or accredited VA representatives who offer to help seniors apply for VA pension benefits. These insurance agents and their representatives lure seniors into buying an annuity or setting up an irrevocable trust to create a false appearance of financial hardship by attempting to conceal the senior's assets.
Insurance agents and their representatives charge high fees for these services, including undisclosed sales commissions that are paid to the purported volunteer. Targeted seniors may not be fully aware of the consequences of moving their assets into an annuity or irrevocable trust, such as strict withdrawal limitations leaving them without access to funds they may actually need for their care.
Although a VA pension benefits application based on false financial need may be successful, those who receive this benefit may face significant financial and legal consequences if the concealed funds are discovered, including repayment of benefit amounts received. Seniors who receive other VA or government-sponsored benefits that require disclosure of funds held in annuities and irrevocable trusts are especially vulnerable to reversal of their VA pension benefit.
A directory of VA centers is available at www.va.gov/directory/guide/vetcenter.asp.
You can also file a complaint with the California Department of Justice by visiting http://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company.
A searchable list of VA-accredited representatives is available at www.va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation/index.asp or call 1-800-827-1000.

Debt Collectors Misleading Consumers about Traffic Tickets and Infractions Amnesty Program
Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today issued a consumer alert to warn Californians about debt collectors giving consumers inaccurate information about the amnesty program for unpaid traffic and non-traffic infraction tickets. The amnesty program offers eligible Californians who have unpaid infraction tickets the opportunity to have their debt reduced by half or more and to have their driver's license reinstated. Each county has its own rules related to the amnesty program, so you must contact the county that issued your ticket to see if you qualify. The program, which started October 1, 2015, continues through March 31, 2017.
This consumer alert is being issued because of complaints made against debt collectors managing the amnesty program for some counties, claiming that they are not telling eligible consumers about the program or are providing misleading information. The Attorney General's Office has received complaints about:
Here is what you should know about the amnesty program:
When will the amnesty program be available?
What tickets are eligible for amnesty?
What tickets are not eligible for amnesty?
Who cannot participate in the debt reduction portion of the amnesty program?
Under the amnesty program, eligible participants will not have to pay any civil assessments. Once the civil assessments are deducted, the remaining balance owed will be reduced by 50% or 80%, depending on income or whether you receive public assistance.
Will there be a fee to participate?
Will there be an installment payment option?

LOS ANGELES - Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today announced a new collaboration between the Office of the Attorney General and AARP California to protect seniors from abuse and fraud. The collaboration will focus on educating seniors, their families and the general public about elder abuse and fraud laws designed specifically to protect those who are 50 and over.
"Seniors are one of the most vulnerable and targeted populations in our state. My office is committed to holding accountable those who defraud, abuse, or neglect our senior citizens," said Attorney General Harris. "I am pleased to collaborate with AARP California to deepen our engagement with seniors and to ensure their protection from those who prey upon them."
Specifically, the collaboration will include hosting tele-town halls and webinars, developing and disseminating consumer and educational resources to protect against scams and schemes, and continuing to vigorously prosecute those who mistreat the elderly population in violation of state law.
"AARP California, through its AARP Fraud Watch Network, is very pleased to join forces with the Office of the Attorney General so together we can further arm Californians with the tools they need to spot and avoid scams," said Nancy McPherson, AARP CA State Director. "The Fraud Watch Network is a free resource for people of all ages that offers real-time alerts about the latest scams in our state, along with a scam tracking map where people can report on scams to alert their friends and neighbors. Additionally, the AARP Fraud Watch Network provides advice to outsmart con artists, and a helpline where Californians can talk to a trained volunteer for advice if they or someone they love has been scammed," added McPherson.
Upon coming into office, Attorney General Harris reinstituted the Operation Guardian program under the Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse (BMFEA), which helps protect and improve the quality of care for California's elder and dependent adult residents living in skilled nursing facilities and which had been suspended as a result of budget cuts. BMFEA is charged with investigating and prosecuting Medicaid provided fraud, the abuse and neglect of patients in Medicaid-funded residential health care facilities, and investigating fraud in Medicaid program administration.
BMFEA is headquartered in Sacramento with five field offices (including Sacramento regional, Burbank, Laguna Woods, San Diego, and West Covina). The Bureau maintains a toll-free number (1-800-722-0432) for referrals or complaints and offers a simple-to-use complaint form online: http://ag.ca.gov/bmfea/reporting.php.
BMFEA also participates in community events, such as health fairs and neighborhood crime prevention meetings, and provides elder abuse and fraud training to law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
In addition to consumer resources to protect seniors, Attorney General Harris' office and AARP California are exploring ways to engage AARP members in the Attorney General's 3rd grade reading campaign to ensure children are reading at grade level by third grade and on track to graduate from high school. The initiative is a core priority for Attorney General Harris and is a central tenet of her "smart on crime" approach, as those who regularly attend school from a young age are less likely to drop out of school, fail to graduate, and come into contact with the criminal justice system. The AARP Foundation Experience Corp program engages adult aged 50-plus as tutors and mentors to increase literacy and engagement among children in grades K-3.

2nd Year of State Responsibility Area Fire Prevention Fund Grants
On Monday, CAL FIRE announced the release of the 2015-2016 State Responsibility Area Fire Prevention Fund (SRAFPF) Grant Program. The grants are aimed at reducing the threat of large wildfires in and around communities within the State Responsibility Area (SRA) of California.
"After what has already been an extremely busy fire season, we are eager to continue this program and bolster the momentum of fire prevention work on the ground," said Chief Ken Pimlott, CAL FIRE Director.
The 2015-2016 State Responsibility Area Fire Prevention Fund grants have a one-time allocation from the California Legislature of five million dollars that is intended to address the risk and potential impact of wildfire on habitable structures in the SRA. The grants are aimed at local governments, fire districts and fire safe councils to augment the fire prevention projects performed by CAL FIRE. This year, the maximum grant amount limit will be $100,000 per project. This will allow for broad distribution of grant funds to organizations throughout the SRA where fire prevention fees are paid. The 2015-2016 SRAFPF Grant Applications are due January 7, 2016, by 3 p.m.
CAL FIRE is encouraging a wide range of applicants throughout the state to apply for this funding. Interested parties can get more information at CAL FIRE's grants webpage at: http://www.fire.ca.gov/grants/grants.php.
By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Monday, October 26th, 2015
Please join our deputies on patrol by following the Headquarters Patrol Station Twitter account for a virtual six-hour patrol shift Tuesday, October 27, 2015.
• Have you ever wanted to go on a ride-along in a police car, with a deputy patrolling the unincorporated areas near Ventura?
• Are you interested in what type of crime or police activity may be occurring in your neighborhood?
• Have you been interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement and would like a sneak peek into the duties of a deputy sheriff on patrol?
These and many other interesting topics will be covered during the Virtual Ride-Along.

From 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the Headquarters Station will be "tweeting" on its Twitter account calls for service, police activity, and photographs in what is known as a Virtual Ride-Along. This will be a unique inside view as to the activities of the patrol station and the types of calls deputies respond to. In addition to providing information on the type of calls, twitter followers will be provided with information, tips, and facts about how they can prevent becoming victims of crime and assist deputies and dispatchers by reporting crimes and suspicious activity.
An interactive feature will allow citizens to ask questions or comment during the Virtual Ride-Along by using a hashtag phrase. Twitter followers can use hashtag phrase #hqridealong to see Virtual Ride-Along posts, photos, videos, questions, comments, and more.

Nature of Incident: Virtual Ride-Along Presented by Headquarters Patrol Station
By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Tuesday, October 20th, 2015
Ventura County Sheriff's deputies will take their oath to "serve" and protect to a new level. They'll trade in their handcuffs and badges for menus and serving trays to assist servers at Red Robin Restaurant in Thousand Oaks on Thursday, October 22, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sheriff's professional staff and volunteers will also be on hand to assist deputies in support of the event. The public is invited to enjoy a great meal and then "tip-a-cop." Donations in the form of tips will benefit Ventura County Special Olympics. All tips are tax-deductible.
Ventura County Special Olympics offers training and competition opportunities in 10 different year-round sports to people with intellectual disabilities at over 20 different training sites throughout Ventura County. This program not only provides physical fitness from participating in athletic competitions, but also encourages social interaction and community involvement. Special Olympics athletes will be working with deputies as they serve customers at Tip-A-Cop.
Tip-A-Cop events are one of the main fundraisers for the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The Torch Run is part of a year-round, grassroots fundraising campaign by law enforcement agencies to benefit their local Special Olympics programs. The Torch Run makes its debut annually in the month of June when members of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office and Special Olympic Athletes carry the torch as it makes its way through Ventura County and continues to Long Beach for the start of the summer games.

Nice hotel, close to Glacier National ParkPosted Jul 6, 2016
This is a decent motel with all the basic facilities. We stayed here on our recent trip to Glacier National Park.

Western Exposure.Posted Jul 2, 2016
The hotel features a western facing entrance. This raises the rooms temperature on hot days. The rooms air conditioning air output seems labored for its size. After removing the filter grate I discovered the the filter was clogged with particulate matter. It looked like the filter hadn't been cleaned in years. Needless to say the unit worked better after I cleaned the filter in the tub. Thanks to the western exposure the room didn't cool down until the sun set around 9:30. I also clogged the tub with the matter that I washed from the filter. It took twenty minutes to remove the material, by hand, to restore my tub to working order.

nice locationPosted Dec 7, 2015 on Hotels
我們住的是家庭房,可住六個人,基本上是一個房間有雙人床,另外兩張床在客廳。只有一間衛浴,雖然以住的品質並不理想,但算乾淨,有廚房可至附近超市買東西煮食。有附簡單的早餐,以它距離Glacier NP的地理位置,還是一個不錯的選擇。

So Deakin offers a relaxing three-day Beach Welcome Program for the Trimester 1 and 2 commencers and a 1 Day Surf trip in January for the Trimester 3 commencers, this is to give you a hand in settling in and make friends. This Program, designed especially for exchange and study abroad students, helps to make the transition into Australian culture and university life as smooth and enjoyable as possible. And it's free!
We head down to the coast on a Monday morning with a bunch of Australian

Australian hospitality and the chance to meet new friends.
Beach Welcome Activities
We will be based in the resort town of Lorne for three days and two nights. Surrounded by the rising cliffs and bush of the Otway Ranges, Lorne has a cosmopolitan feel, with sidewalk cafes, walking tracks, beautiful waterfalls, and great surf. You will also meet course advisors who will be able to assist you with
any enrolment questions and/or changes you may need to make for your
course. There will be opportunities for you to participate in a range
of activities including surfing lessons, hiking through the temperate rainforest, yoga and beach games. You will also be able to rub shoulders with the locals at the local pub, or simply relax on the beach and hang out with your new friends. This is a great opportunity
for you to relax and soak up the ambience of this wonderful country!
The Program also features useful sessions on making the most of your stay in Australia, including sessions on how to ensure your enrolment is complete, how best to meet Aussies and settle into university life and tips on travelling in Australia.
For more information, have a look at the Beach Welcome Program itinerary and check out our videos from the last Program.
Please take a look at our 2013 Beach Welcome Video!

Tommy Gavin: Well, that sounds like a lot of work, honey. Can't we just get some tattoos or something?
Maggie: I figured you and me we always had a special bond. Backed each other up.
Tommy Gavin: I know. I know.
Maggie: I figure the only reason that you like me is because I'm the only person the family hates worse than you.
Tommy Gavin: There might be a sliver of truth to that. But you know I love you and Johnny likes you.
Maggie: Oh, don't pump sunshine up my ass Tommy. Johnny is scared sh*tless of me. Always was.
Tommy's Dad: I haven't seen you in many, many years. Peggie Sue. I hardly reconized you.
Maggie: You know what? Why do you gotta call me that name? I hate that name. My name's Maggie.
Tommy's Dad: It's the name your mother and I gave you.
Maggie: I don't care. It's a stupid name. Just because you and mom were a Buddy Holley fan doesn't mean I gotta be stuck with that stupid name for the rest of my life.
Tommy's Dad: Compliments of my beautiful daughter, Peggie Sue.
Maggie: It's Maggie, you stupid old fart.
Laura Miles: You know this firefighting thing wasn't a lark. I didn't just come up with this one day. I saw a news show when I was, like, seven years old about a female firefighter, and I was like, "That's it. That's what I wanna do." And I went and I told my father, and he pretty much laughed in my face. He was, like, "You can't do that, sweetheart. You're a girl." Then he got a ton of mileage out of it. He told it at every family dinner party for years. Then when I started telling my boyfriends, it was, "You can't do that, baby. You're a girl." By the time I got to the academy, it was every guy saying, "You don't belong here, bitch. You're a girl." But I had really thick skin by then, you know? And, uh, I learned how to cry when nobody was looking, and I did a ton of sit-ups. I thought I was gonna break my back. But I became a firefighter. And then when I actually get assigned to a regular house and start doing the job, what would be my next course of action? I'm gonna start banging a guy in my crew. And then I'm gonna fall in love with a guy in my crew. You know, 'cause he's hot and sweet, and I think on some level I thought he needed me... and because I'm a girl. I had to come all this way to learn that my father was right? I'm just a girl, you know? I don't have anybody to blame but myself.

|Series cast summary:
|Wei Zhao
Ji Xiang / ... (25 episodes, 1999)
|Alec Su
Su San / ... (25 episodes, 1999)
Old House Has Joy is a story about the love between Ji Xiang and Xiao Peng. After some obstacles, the couple finally manages to be together, only to realise that Ji Xiang is Xiao Peng's cousin, therefore making them relatives and unable to wed. Running alongside is the story of the couple's Grandparents, with Alec and Vicki taking the roles of that love couple. The series has many great Alec and Vicki moments (as it intended to), but lacks a depthful storyline. Filmed at the same time as Huan Zhu Ge Ge II, Old House Has Joy was mainly intended to further the popularity of the Alec Su, Vicki Zhao pairing, which it did fantastically. Written by ZZQ

Good 3.3 /5 from 102 reviews
I'll say this place is value for money. The rooms which we booked (Premier Connecting Rooms) were not too bad. We did however have problems logging onto the hotel WiFi. We got back late one night after a long day of shopping, but were too tired to go out to get a massage, the hotel arranged for an in-room massage. Overall, the experience was ok - nothing much to complain about.
The Charge for everything. Even the slippers that are usually given free at hotels they wanted to charge me $10 USD!! The rooms are small. The food is bad. The hotel is full of ants and cockroaches... Made the Mistake. Payed the price.
The Internet remains poor - but the staff are friendly and quite professional and the location is excellent for the paragon/Siam shopping mall
The hotels spa and swimming pool were out of order and they have a sign that says due to maintenance - I think it's been out of order some time - dissapointing with the hotel in general though it is close to the Siam Mall and the general manager and staff persuaded me to stay - they, the staff were very understanding and the general manager a total gentleman - for the price I paid you can get a better equipped hotel here in Bangkok - I spent 4 nights here - I would stay one night here in the future not 4 - the hotel may be updating itself ...
Can't beat the location. It's walking distance to the sky train and Paragon shopping galore! Hotel is pretty average: it's clean and has AC. Lucked out and got a room on the 5th floor which had central ac! They charge for wi fi which kinda sucks but it's not too terribly expensive. Overall good place to stay if looking for trusty clean and safe place.

Toy programming language
|This article does not cite any sources. (July 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A toy language is a computer programming language that lacks the requirements to create reliable, maintainable computer programs in a production environment. Which programming systems to categorize as toy languages is difficult, however, as the definition of is or is not a "toy" is often subjective. Also, a "toy" language should be distinguished from domain-specific languages and esoteric programming languages. A "problem domain" language is a limited programming language which may be specifically tuned for the problem to be solved, such as the PostScript language used in PDF documents, or the limited instruction set used to program the multiple core graphics processing unit in a video card. An "esoteric language" is a programming language designed to test the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, as software art, or as a joke, such as Befunge or LOLCODE.
Toy languages should exclude "one time" use compilers and interpreters such as bootstrapping compilers which are used to create the initial compiler for a language which is not available on the target machine, as the bootstrap compiler changes the source into something which can be used on the bootstrap machine; once the bootstrap compiler has created the initial compiler, it can then be used to compile itself.
One way to consider if a language is not a toy is to consider if the language would be capable of answering in the affirmative, the question, "would a professional programmer with several years of experience seriously consider using the language as a means to provide a reasonable, cost effective solution for a customer's problem?" Also, as human beings have learned more about programming concepts, language translation, and problem domains, the range of expected capabilities of programming languages is likely to increase and some languages which are or were considered professional-class may become "downgraded" to toy-class languages, as some older languages of the 1960s and 1970s may not be adequate to solve today's problems. While a language that could do simple sequential file read and file write with some processing of the material read may have been adequate for production use twenty or thirty years ago, it is probably likely that programming languages without either random-access file capabilities or SQL might now be considered "toy" languages.
Also, older versions of languages may be considered "toy" languages because people not familiar with the current state of the language may be unaware of the latest features. The original BASIC programming language lacked a number of features (e.g. longer variable names, multiline functions and procedures), but was a considerably less capable language than current dialects of BASIC such as Microsoft Visual Basic, Gambas or Free Basic. Also, the original Pascal language lacked some essential features such as strings, but current Object Pascal compilers such as Delphi or Free Pascal provide a complete professional language system capable of solving any problem which could be handled by C or C++.
Languages such as Brainfuck and Whitespace are both considered esoteric programming languages. They are Turing complete, which means they are able to compute any computable function. Logo is an example of a toy language. Its goal was originally to create a math land where children could play with words and sentences. For a long time, the GNU Compiler Collection was shipped with a toy programming language called Treelang which was essentially C without the advanced features such as pointers, arrays, and records.
Though a toy language may be mathematically complete, it is usually limited in one or several ways. It may not support a full range of programming constructs or concepts. It may lack a full set of support libraries considered to be required for creating production-quality programs.
The main use of a toy language is in computer languages research. Some uses are as frameworks for researching new programming constructs or as a prototype for new language concepts or paradigms. Other notable uses are as a learning or demonstration tool, e.g. in universities, for programming constructs and techniques not available in mainstream languages and as an exercise in building a language from scratch.

How can I get an idle thread to be activated again such that its context is restored and execution continued (like if I want a thread to activate after 10 seconds and then be activated after every 5 seconds, in the mean time other threads may continue running)?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Can't you just have the thread sleep for the required time? Context is inherently part of the thread, so will automatically be restored.
That depends on your threading model: are you using windows threads? boost threads? pthreads? XPCOM threads? something else?
In Windows, you can suspend threads and activate them again.
In boost/pthreads you have to either:
From what I've seen in practice the second and third options are the most usual ones. The first one's a bit wasteful as creating threads can be a bit expensive (depending on your platform).
What are you trying to do?
Depending on the threading API you use, there should be forms of signals to send between threads and a way to wait for such a signal.
Based on that, when a thread is finished, you have it wait for a signal (effectively being asleep and not using any CPU). Some other thread can then store a work item somewhere and signal the sleeping thread to wake up. The woken thread checks for a work item being available, processes that, and goes back waiting for the next item to be signaled.
This is a very simplified version of the approach. (For starters, what if the next work item is stored before the previous was finished?) The exact implementation depends a lot on the API you're using. Try to find a few consumer-producer scenarios for that API, this should give you enough input to chew on.

iTunes customers facing mysterious account hacks, disappearing gift card moneyScattered reports from customers suggest that Apple continues to have a difficult time combating hackers who are draining iTunes account balances and changing account information.
Earlier this week, The Global Mail called attention (via CNet) to an Apple Support Community thread with more than 70 pages of responses dating as far back as Nov. 2010.
According to the thread and others like it, numerous iTunes customers were victims of fraudulent app purchases that drained gift card credits from their accounts. Others reported charges to their PayPal or credit card accounts and changes to their account information.
Given that the issue has persisted intermittently for over a year, some customers have begun to speculate that Apple has kept the problem under wraps despite not having fully resolved it. "It is very apparent that Apple iTunes has a big problem on their hands, and they are keeping quiet about it," forum user "glight" wrote.
When contacted by the publication, Apple responded with a generic statement assuring the security of its ecommerce transactions.
"Apple takes precautions to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft and misuse, as well as against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Apple online services such as the Apple Online Store and iTunes Store use Secure Sockets Layer encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected," the company said.
Though Apple has yet to confirm the reasons behind the account hacks, one possible explanation is that the company's iTunes gift card algorithm has been cracked. In 2009, iTunes gift vouchers surfaced on Chinese websites for pennies on the dollar after hackers allegedly discovered a way to generate codes.
Another method has been described on forums as early as 2010. Sellers on TaoBao, the Chinese equivalent of eBay, have in the past offered a service that temporarily hijacked legitimate users' account to allow buyers to download batches of apps until eventually being locked out. The sellers would allegedly monitor compromised accounts and then change their information to a dummy address upon finding a customer.
Some apps have also been flagged as frequent targets for fraudulent purchases. For instance, multiple Apple Support Community posts have listed unauthorized in-app purchases from within the "Kingdom Conquest" app.
"Kingdom Conquest" has attracted negative reviews as customers report being the victim of fraudulent purchases or hijacked accounts.
Ty Miller, chief technology officer at security firm Pure Hacking, speculated that Apple has decided that refunding fraudulent transactions is more cost effective than fixing the system.
"Either Apple has accepted the risk of the fraudulent transactions and they're happy to reimburse the money because it may cost a lot more to fix then they're actually losing. [Or] there is an inherent flaw in the way they have created the gift card numbers and it would take a serious overhaul of their systems to change how that actually works," Miller said.

Greenlee has some interesting fastener-holding drivers. The 6-inch shank, 1/4-inch socket Nut-Holding Nut Driver ($18) has an ingenious taper within its socket that holds nuts tightly without magnets (which can attract filings and clog up the works). A short rap on a hard surface with the nut driver held upside down will lock-wedge a nut into the socket. A quick rap with the socket down will release a stuck nut. With most sheet-metal screws, though, this nut driver works just like any other. Also in the line are flat and Phillips-head Screw-Holding Screwdrivers with a spring-loaded device that holds fasteners very securely. 800-435-0786, www.greenlee.com.

We were in Barcelona for a conference and decided to go for an appartement rather than staying in a hotel. It turned out to be a very good choice and we enjoyed our stay very much. Communication with and assistance by Isabella was great and any technical difficulties were dealt with as quickly as possible. The appartment is very nice and well equipped. We did not miss the coffee mashine due to a stove top espresso coffee maker that provided tasty coffee every morning. We will certainly be coming back.
Ottimo appartamento ma manca di aria condizionata e il prezzo è un poco eccessivo, ottima la posizione.

An open vision problem is to automatically track the articulations of people from a video sequence. This problem is difficult because one needs to determine both the number of people in each frame and estimate their configurations. But, finding people and localizing their limbs is hard because people can move fast and unpredictably, can appear in a variety of poses and clothes, and are often surrounded by limb-like clutter. We develop a completely automatic system that works in two stages; it first builds a model of appearance of each person in a video and then it tracks by detecting those models in each frame ("tracking by model-building and detection"). We develop two algorithms that build models; one bottom-up approach groups together candidate body parts found throughout a sequence. We also describe a top-down approach that automatically builds people-models by detecting convenient key poses within a sequence. We finally show that building a discriminative model of appearance is quite helpful since it exploits structure in a background (without background-subtraction). We demonstrate the resulting tracker on hundreds of thousands of frames of unscripted indoor and outdoor activity, a feature-length film ("Run Lola Run"), and legacy sports footage (from the 2002 World Series and 1998 Winter Olympics). Experiments suggest that our system 1) can count distinct individuals, 2) can identify and track them, 3) can recover when it loses track, for example, if individuals are occluded or briefly leave the view, 4) can identify body configuration accurately, and 5) is not dependent on particular models of human motion

I've run in to a problem with a new site. after doing some browser testing, i found that some of my content was running over a div placed just above it, causing some nasty text soup.
This is a problem unique to opera, and it's a problem i actually found a solution to -- sort of. i tried assigning a height to the box above the lower content, and it pushed the lower content back down into it's proper place, however the problem with this is that not all the above boxes will be a consistent height due to changing content per page. I'm afraid a fixed height will look strange. i also tried auto height, 100% height, and inherit all to no avail.
since this is fine in all other browsers, I'm lost as to how to go about fixing it without sacrificing the perfect layout in other browsers.
The site can be seen here:
as a side note: the site wont validate because of the third party javascript that had to be implemented in order to run the booking engines.
Thanks very much for your help.
