On the most basic level, it was just a moment to get dressed up for a big event.
North Medford senior Maryssa Becker may be an outstanding athlete but she's also an 18-year-old girl looking for any chance to be just that.
Sunday offered such an opportunity — plus much more — for Becker as an attendee at the Oregon Sports Awards at the Nike World Headquarters.
"It was kinda nice to get to put on heels and wear a dress for once and go to a fancy event for a few hours," Becker said Monday. "It was cool to kinda see everyone dressed up, with guys in their suits and all that."
The cool factor jumped up that much more during the event when Becker was named the Prep Softball Player of the Year for the Oregon Sports Awards, which included ESPN's Neil Everett as the master of ceremonies. Last spring, Becker posted a 26-0 pitching record and 0.43 ERA with 313 strikeouts in 178 innings to help North Medford claim its sixth state title in program history.
"It was awesome," Becker said of her first OSA experience. "It was a great, great show. It was short and to the point but pretty entertaining and we had a really good time."
"There were some really motivational speakers and people that won awards that have been in the sports industry for a really long time," she added, "and it was pretty cool to hear what they had to say about being in it so along and how to be successful."
Although she was the state's pitcher of the year last season and earned the Gatorade Player of the Year nod for Oregon, Becker said she had no idea the award would be hers until her name was announced by presenter Jordan Poyer, star defensive back at Oregon State and soon-to-be NFL draftee. Other finalists for the softball honor were McNary's Hailey Decker and Heppner's Baily Bennett.
"It was very unexpected, I had no idea," said Becker. "I just was kind of shocked when I heard my name and so I kinda got up and made my way to the stage. It all kinda sunk in later in the show that, wow, I really just won that."
Each winner was asked to say a few words and Becker used her time to thank her teammates and coaches and family members for always supporting her efforts. She also gave particular praise to catcher and good friend Katie Williamson for "always making me look good."
That highlight moment was followed by some nice moments with the other winners on hand, including photo opportunities with Oregon running back Kenjon Barner and OSU head coach Mike Riley.
"There was just a lot of people there that were in the sports world that you read about and it was a really cool experience," she said.
"It was just a very humbling experience," added Becker. "Just to see everybody's hard work, not only mine but all athletes of Oregon, and how much time goes into it and when you think the limits can't be pushed farther, they really can be pushed farther. It was neat to see how many people were influenced by their coaches and other players and it made me realize how much I've been influenced by everyone in my life, from my coaches and my family."
This was the first season that individual Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) sports were recognized at the Oregon Sports Awards and the first year that the general public was eligible to vote on the finalists.
Another key thing about Sunday for Becker was that it was also finally the end to being praised for honors gained from last year's performance. With the first day of spring practice only two weeks away, the Louisville-bound senior is looking forward to making new moments on the softball diamond.
"I am so ready," said Becker, who is also the team's top returning hitter. "I don't know if I'm ready for the weather because it's been nice having basketball inside but I'm looking forward to it. I'm really excited about getting this softball season started."
IT'S PRETTY RARE but the harshest penalty leveled by the OSAA's Executive Board during its Feb. 4 meeting proved to be against the Eagle Point cheerleading program and head coach Jordan Gieg.
The Executive Board levied a $2,000 fine against the school and ordered the appearance by coach Gieg and an EPHS administrator to speak on this matter before the board. She was also not allowed to coach the cheerleading team at this past weekend's state championships.
The action stems from an intentional OSAA violation that was reported on Jan. 9. The Executive Board determined that the cheer coach knowingly allowed two of her cheerleaders to violate the OSAA
Attached/Unattached Policy. Their report stated that she had direct communication with the OSAA
office prior to the violation and still chose to violate the rule.
The policy states that a high school team shall not compete against an unattached team (for example a club team), that students representing a high school shall not compete against unattached individuals and that students shall not represent a high school and compete as unattached on the same day at the same venue/facility.
Assistant coaches for the Eagles are Hillary Daves, Bruce Gieg and Lisa Hammonds.
The closest penalty to that levied against Eagle Point, which has appealed the ruling, was for the Henley wrestling team and coach Pete Lucas after the team pulled out of competition one day into the Oregon Wrestling Classic. Henley was assessed a $1,500 fine and Lucas and a school administrator were ordered to appear before the Executive Board.
The bulk of fines levied by the OSAA were for $500 and under.
Crater was assessed a $250 fine and ordered to forfeit a game it already lost after it was determined boys basketball head coach John Parent was ejected and was not out of sight or sound for the remainder of the contest on Dec. 1 at South Eugene.

Tasked with uncovering the top New Year's Resolutions for 2014, the Times-Reporter scoured the Internet and discovered several obscure web sites that all had some idea of what people said they wanted to accomplish this new year.
Tasked with uncovering the top New Year's Resolutions for 2014, the Times-Reporter scoured the Internet and discovered several obscure web sites that all had some idea of what people said they wanted to accomplish this new year. After recognizing at least some common themes, a small list was compiled, and then sub lists that fall under those lists and finally advice on those lists from respected celebrities in their fields. If they're on TV or the radio, they obviously know what they're talking about. Right? Don't answer that.
These can be all ranked No. 1 in order of importance, depending on who you are and what you have going on.
Lose weight
Of course there's fancier ways of saying you want to lose weight, like eat healthier and exercise regularly, but it basically boils down to the same thing. Losing weight is almost always a common goal, based on personal experience and the hike in gym memberships every year.
It's also known to be broken fairly quickly by quite a few people. According to Time Magazine, "60 percent of gym memberships go unused and attendance is usually back to normal by mid-February." But never fear! AskMen.Com has some interesting advice.
The online magazine offered a different solution. Drink more water. Hydration is a good thing, and were you aware that it curbs your appetite? It curbs the need for less hydrating, sugar-ridden drinks known for weight gain, and you might just feel more energetic for those jumping jacks you plan to do when no one is looking!
And as AskMen states it: "This resolution is so simple that if you can't keep it, you probably shouldn't be making resolutions at all."
Save money
There's always some financial guru doling out advice about cutting up credit cards or investment options but if you're like me you get a little overwhelmed when it comes to finances. Just paying bills can seem like an accomplishment, but when it comes to building a nest egg and planning for the future it can be a lot harder, especially when you look at your bank account and ask "Where did it all go?"
Reader's Digest offered a few tips. One, divvy up any unexpected income such as a bonus, gift or unexpected boost from work. The idea is to put one third of it toward debt, a third toward future savings and a third for some personal investment you want. Keep a slush fund around for those unexpected car repairs. This one might be tough, but RD says to ditch the ATM card because it makes it too easy to make impulse buys and instead carry just the right amount of cash, and of course, create a budget one that reflects your spending habits more accurately.
Drink Less
USA.Gov listed this as the top resolution Americans make every year, but this could also be due to the fact that the resolution is made one day after one of the biggest drinking nights of the year — and subsequent hangovers that follow.
As one popular Facebook meme said "Alcohol — Because no good story ever started with a salad."
But an article in PolicyMic points out, "Drinking less kills many birds with one stone: It helps you lose weight, it helps your insides stay healthier, and it helps you make better life decisions."
For life decisions - see tomorrow's crime report.
You're welcome.
Learn Something New
There's always that one thing (or two) you wish you knew how to do. For some its playing an instrument, for others it's how to operate a computer or learning a new language. Whatever it is, Psychology Today supports the idea of trying something different especially as we get older.
According to Psychology Today "learning new things keeps us young-staving off Alzheimer's and age-related neurological changes by building up our brain's "cognitive reserves."
Enjoy Life More
OK, this sounds hokey, and pretty vague. And assuming you lost weight and had more money and a new hobby, wouldn't you be happier? But there's more to it, according to radio host John Tesh, who hosts a syndicated program called "Intelligence For Your Life."
Tesh points out that the top regrets of the dying, are that they didn't give themselves permission to be happy.
"Research shows that our feelings of happiness are greatest when we're 100 percent immersed in something that brings us joy," Tesh said.
So to boost that feeling, he said put on a funny movie (or youtube video) and laugh out loud, call or email a friend and talk about a happy memory, focus your senses on something you enjoy— like the taste of chocolate, and just indulge in a few moments to enjoy that cup of coffee or nice little conversation before going on with the rest of your day.

Student IDs: Not this again
A compromise in the last legislative session led to this deal: College student IDs would not be accepted under the state's voter ID law in the 2012 election, but would be accepted in future elections. A Senate committee voted last week to strip the specific statutory reference to student IDs, making them not automatically accepted by law. Why are we rehashing this?
Some Republicans would prefer that college students not vote because college students tend to be rather liberal as a group. Naturally, Democrats want as many college students as possible to vote. There is a serious legal issue at stake here. But it involves residency, not student IDs.
The parties have fought for years over how to define residency for voting purposes. Should out-of-state college students who live in New Hampshire during the school year, but who retain their legal residency in their home state, be allowed to vote here? It seems pretty obvious that the answer should be "no." You vote where you are a legal resident. But that is an entirely different issue than whether the state should accept student IDs.
The arguments against accepting student IDs are weak. Sen. David Boutin, R-Hooksett, has a compromise proposal: Accept IDs from state schools because they were issued by a state agency, and leave it up to moderators whether to accept private school IDs. That is asking for legal trouble. The goal of the ID requirement is to discourage fraud by requiring a valid photo ID. School IDs do the trick. Accept them and move on to another issue.

"I'm doing exactly what you do, dad."
I crossed my arms. Blake crossed his arms.
I put my hands in my pockets. Blake's hands slid into his pockets.
I looked at my son, who should have been paying attention in church and grinned at him.
"I'm doing exactly what you do, dad," he said with a smile.
And at that moment, my brain exploded. Thankfully for the church's janitorial staff it was a virtual explosion – not of a more literal nature.
But it exploded.
Sure, there are a lot of things about myself I would love to see my son emulate. But I have already experienced several occasions where I found myself giving advice to this child-turned-young man that I don't follow very well.
The older he gets, the more of my life he sees and understands.
When babies are born, your sleeping habits change but it doesn't matter what shows you watch or songs you listen to. After all, they can't understand anything that is going on.
Soon, you have to regulate television and movies so that they don't see things you don't want them to see or hear things little ears shouldn't hear.
As they mature, you better believe you will either tighten the controls further or you will shine a light on all of those dark places they never could see before.
James Baldwin once said, "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them."
He may never do "exactly" what I do as he did in church Sunday. But our kids do learn a lesson with every action we take.
Too much TV?
I always loved the scene in the classic old movie "Better Off Dead" where the Japanese immigrants challenged John Cusack's character to a race at a stoplight.
The two men had come from Japan and learned to speak English by watching Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football.
So when they challenged him, Cosell's inflection from the body of a Japanese man was a funny dichotomy.
Dawit isn't learning English from Thomas the Train or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but he can recite far too many commercials.
If you say, "Nationwide" he will invariably sing, "… is on your side."
We saw another example of this on Sunday.
My wife and I had the boys call our parents for Grandparents Day. When they called my in-laws, Blake said, "Do you know what day it is?" He was wondering if they knew it was Grandparents Day.
But Dawit didn't know that and he watches way too many commercials starring camels.
So when Blake asked what day it is, Dawit instinctually said, "Hump Day!"
Dawit is always funny. Sometimes it is on purpose.

Christians say judgment is coming so you'd better repent and accept Jesus before it's too late.
Carl Sagan gave his last interview with Charlie rose on May 27th 1996. He discussed pseudo-science, religion, unfounded claims, his personal love affair with science and his struggle with myelodysplasia as well as other elements of his last book: The Demon-Haunted World.I thought it was important that a high quality copy of this interview, with proper audio video sync, was made available on youtube.The Demon-Haunted World changed my life in ways more profound than I thought possible. That book, and the name of Carl Sagan, should be known to every high school graduate."Better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting fantasy. And in the final tolling it often turns out that the facts are more comforting than the fantasy."

I said the Pledge of Alligence as it was originally written. When the basketball team I played for was saying the Lords Prayer. The next school day i got kicked out of HARDESTY PUBLIC school for standing up for what I thought was right. This happened 2 years in a row. We have a Federal lawsuit against the school.P.S. By the way the girl Hugging me at the end Told me "GOD FORGIVES YOU, AND I FORGIVE YOU."So then thinking for yourself is a SIN?And as for it not being about religion then why did the Teacher tell me that "This is a Christian country and if you don't like it GET OUT!"Go to http://www.scooterjournals.com/ and read "Just Another Salem".Also Check out "The Price of Atheism" on youtube.This public school is breaking the law!It is a Public school and this was centercourt and therefore a forum for Chritianity! As atheists we see the lords prayer as a mockery to all the evil your religion has caused our kind thru the ages. Would you understand if a Jewish child was offended if you had children sing some Heil Hitler tune or if a black child was offended by children shouting "the South will rise again"? It is a spit in the face and an insult to those who know your true History! It has no place in a school!SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATESSANTA FE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT v.

Just one free thinking young lady who stood her ground against the many. It is not so much about why she stood but that she choose too. She found this strength not from a book or faith but from deep inside herself. From a place that many seem to search for but never seem to find. She has paid a dear price for her bravery and has seen and felt the hypocracy on both sides of the line she made in the sand. For those of you who would wish to thank and help her with her education feel free to send a small gift to,Nicole Smalkowskic/o education716 E. McKee St.Greeneville, TN 37743Thank YouLike I said they would claim a victory. They said this on press release!"We thank the Smalkowski family for their praise of our efforts on their behalf and we wish them well in their future undertakings."What a bunch of bull. Nicole fired Americain atheist and Edwin right after convention. She dealt with Rice as long as she had to.Pity is, cases could have done some good but games were played and we do not play, and we do not take kindly to threats, vilifications and unethical behavior from those who are supposedly representing us.American Atheist after we fired them made this end run with the help of Rick Rice. Seems they profited. How they claimed damages is beyond me.We were not involved.As for our casesWe did not profit we are still broke from our legal costs! We are trying to salvage Nicoles future but like I said we are broke.We were totally disgusted with our legal team.With the right legal filings the prayer circle at centercourt during a school event would have ended but now it seems it will go on. Instead of fixing a wrong, fame and profit seemed to be the motive.SO...Nothing has changed, no battle was won. Yet victories are claimed?The real hero is Nicole Smalkowski who stood her ground for all of you, who lost out on her schooling and sports can only remember with deep regret how she was used by those she trusted.With all that has happened to us.Our biggest regret is ever getting involve with this bunch.So debate the bones and pat yourself on the back for knowing the truth BUT your children's children will still say "under God" and live in a Christian country where in public schools, prayer and religion will be taught and preached as fact while the holy scribes in the temple of atheism and religion will still be fattening their purse.Good luckThe Smalkowski's
I also don't know whether you want to look into it or not, but a guy named morsec0de has uploaded someone's free video: Here Be Dragons, and it's a great view for skeptics of any and all things
But the Bible has so many uses! After all, that very thin paper is perfect for origami, for starting fires, for using as a replacement coffee filter...

Oh, my Berlin. This section could make its own book, so we'll try to merely be factual about this fantastic city where I had the pleasure to live for a couple of years. Typography alone would be a good enough reason to stick around for a while in Berlin, and we'll only cover what's underneath the surface (pun intended).
Officially, FF Transit is the typeface of the BVG designed by MetaDesign in 1997. But the story of the Berlin transportation system is very far from being , and much has been written about how you can almost literally trace Berlin's own history throughout time just by carefully observing its (many!) typefaces in use.
Starting with its age: Berlin's U-Bahn is 116 years old, which is… old. Kate Seabrook described the Berlin Underground once as:
On a
Jimmy Choo black and metallic gold sweetie degrade glitter clutch Order Sale Online s4GQEC33
from 2015, Anton Koovit made the following remark while observing the many fonts of the different Berlin's underground lines:
Depending on which line you board, and how damaged/struck by the historical events it was hit, you can find FF Transit, Octopuss, Helvetica , and loads, loads of Blackletter type. What gives, Berlin? Well, it's a beautiful and seemingly never-ending type ride. Berlin has separate entities for its underground and overground (), and therefore their visual identity is significantly different: to note, the S-Bahn is about 95 years old already, and it would be odd if it didn't have an interesting and unique design background deeply attached to it as well.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, design choices in these stations varies the most between East and West Berlin, showing the consequences of a once divided German capital. On the East, the infamous U7 line alone has 6 different design schemes.
Kate Seabrook went through a lot of hassle capturing pretty much a snapshot of all Berlin's subway stations in her
Manu Atelier yellow and bubblegum Micro Bold suede crossbody bag Buy Online Cheap Cheap Cost Sale Manchester Cheap Sale Get To Buy vFvo47m
, if you fancy spending an evening browsing around (and you should).
Despite the sheer epicness and visual treat that is commuting across lines in Berlin, is still the typeface, which is also used in several other transportation systems (which we'll get to soon). However, I find that is not without its minor faults, as some characters like and are visually similar. Have a look at the word "Illicit":
While the uppercase "I" is cleverly distincit by being shorter than the lowercase "l", it can still make up some visual confusion with certain combinations of letters. While custom typefaces can get away with details like these when their context is known, it's not necessarily future-proof. There are no subway stations names in Berlin with these combinations of letters, but who says there won't be? The cost of a updating a typeface which in turn reflects itself in the real world, unlike an app, is sometimes literally set in stone and can be quite hefty.
Different Lines, different Type Choices
As mentioned at the beginning, Berlin street and underground typography easily makes a book on its own. The blog has two fantastic articles on two distinct lines, the
beautifully odd U7

, just to start.
One of my favourite details is the at Schöneberg for the S1 line, which seems to be thought of after the sign was already implemented. It's a very functional sans-serif, which contrasts with the heavy usage of Blackletter in the rest of the same line. Look at that geometry in the G!
New Styles Dsquared2 fedora hat Buy Cheap Visa Payment Sale 2018 Newest TKNssM9SB2
dug up a few other interesting bits about the reasons for such discrepancies:
And if you need more proof, let's get visual again:
Brussels may be , but it was also certainly worthy of having its own typeface developed. Since 2006, Brussels has been using Brusseline , designed by Eric de Berranger , a Paris–based type designer. Notice a pattern with the French names for typefaces?
I love , as well as the whole design system of this subway. It has a very cheerful and unique character to it:
It's certainly no or : its curvy characters not only give it a quirky and recognisable look and feel, they also help to erradicate the usual type crimes suspects: characters that are too similar. Those little curves help identify characters from far away distances. As someone with the eyesight of a potato at faraway distances, I certainly appreciate that 🤓
You can see more at Eric's official typeface presentation on Behance .
The opened doors to its subway in 1954, and it has also seen a fair share of typographical attention over half a decade.
Toronto Subway is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed for the original section of the Toronto Transit Commission's Yonge subway. However, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Helvetica is still the official typeface for Toronto's subway: you'll still find it in some tiled sections of the walls.The font was recreated by David Vereschagin in 2004.
But there's something very quirky about Toronto's typeface: it was literally traced by hand , when the time came to redesign the font.
And some of the old tiles using it, below.
When Gordon Hayward makes his long awaited return to the Boston Celtics next season, he will definitely be hitting the court in a brand new pair of shoes. Those shoes however, may not be Nikes like Hayward has wore for the last several seasons. Instead, Hayward could quite possibly be wearing New Balances.
That's right, New Balance is reportedly looking to get back into the basketball sneaker market and are targeting Hayward to be the newest face of their brand. Of note, the Celtics recently opened a new practice center right next to New Balance's headquarters in Boston and the sneaker company played a large role in the development of the facility through a partnership with the team.
However if Hayward isn't interested in signing with New Balance, ESPN's Nick DePaula reports that the Chinese brand Anta, who touts Klay Thompson as their marquee star, wants to sign the Celtics forward to a sneaker deal.

One company with strong interest in Hayward is New Balance, which would look to re-launch its dormant basketball category with the Celtics star. The company's commitment to re-engage in hoops isn't entirely a secret, as it recently partnered with the Celtics on the team's new 70,000-square-foot Auerbach Center, the franchise's new state-of-the-art training facility.
In addition to New Balance's expected interest, Chinese brand Anta could also emerge as a strong contender to sign Hayward. While
Klay Thompson
is the brand's current headliner in China, where his "KT" signature line has been a huge hit for the brand that boasts more than 10,600 retail stores throughout Asia, the company's familiarity with the Celtics could come into play for Hayward. Two of Anta's initial signature athletes were

While leaked memos show that Google execs perceived a real risk of internal backlash from their $9 million Pentagon contract to supply AI for US military drones, they were willing to risk it because they expected the business to quickly grow to $250,000,000.
The September email chain discussing the recently inked deal included Scott Frohman and Aileen Black, two members of Google's defense sales team, along with Dr. Fei-Fei Li, the head scientist at Google Cloud, as well as members of the communications team.
Black provided a summary of the Project Maven deal, which she described as a "5-month long race among AI heavyweights" in the tech industry. "Total deal $25-$30M, $15M to Google over the next 18 months," she wrote. "As the program grows expect spend is budgeted at 250 M per year. This program is directly related to the Sept 13 memo about moving DOD aggressively to the cloud I sent last week."
The September 13 memo sent by Black was not included in the emails obtained by The Intercept. It appears to be a reference to the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), a contract worth $10 billion over 10 years, a project that Google has expressed an interest in obtaining. The JEDI program was announced on September 12.

Butler County Judge S. Michael Yeager ruled Wednesday that a referendum passed by Center Township voters in November, which reduced the number of township supervisors from five to three, is unconstitutional.
Specifically, Yeager granted an injunction filed on behalf of three township supervisors arguing that the referendum's passage violated the state constitution by removing three supervisors from office — Ed Latuska, Philip Wulff and Ken Frenchak — before the end of their appointed terms and without cause or due process.
The ruling nullifies the referendum, which would have emptied all five current supervisor seats and allowed township voters to choose three Democratic nominees and three Republican nominees in the May 21 primary. Instead, residents now will vote to fill just two seats, those vacated by supervisor Chairman Ron Flatt and Vice Chairman Andrew Erie.
Their terms are done at the end of this year.
Beverly Schenck, a former township supervisor who championed the referendum, told Yeager that the injunction is not a challenge to the constitutionality of the referendum, but a challenge to the will of township voters.
"The township is merely an interested bystander to an action between its citizens and its elected officials," she said.
Township solicitor Michael Gallagher reminded Yeager that "(township residents) voted in the expectation that the individuals they elected would serve out the full extent of their terms ...," Gallagher said.
Wulff and Latuska will remain in office through the end of 2017 and Frenchak through 2015.

Payment methods
On this page:
Payment methods per country
We offer different payment methods in each country when booking a ticket at KLM.com.
View the overview of payment methods per country
Credit card
You can pay by credit card when booking a ticket at KLM.com. We accept MasterCard, VISA and American Express. Depending on the country in which the booking is made, you may also have the option to pay using a Diners Club, JCB (Japan Credit Bureau) or UATP/Airplus card. In some countries, you will be charged a service fee when paying by credit card.
After you have selected your flight, choose 'credit card' under the payment options. Next, select the organisation that issued the credit card. Enter all necessary details and confirm your booking. Once your payment has been authorized, you will be sent an e-ticket by e-mail.
Your payment details will be encoded and sent using a secure connection. You can check the security details by clicking with your right mouse button on the payment page and then selecting 'Properties'. A window will pop up containing all connection data. The 'Connection' field shows that an SSL connection is used. Your credit card information, including the number and expiration date, will not be stored.
Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code
Some banks offer holders of Visa or MasterCard an additional security measure in the form of a PIN code or password. This tells both the bank and us that you are the rightful owner or user of the card. If your card is eligible for the 'Verified by Visa' or 'MasterCard Secure Code' security measure, you will be asked to enter your PIN code or password. The payment will only be accepted if the correct code or password is entered.
If your bank offers this extra security measure but your card is not yet part of this programme, your bank may ask during the payment process if you wish to subscribe to this security option. This is called 'Activation During Shopping' and we have no influence on this process. Participation in Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code takes place through a direct link to your bank. KLM has no access or control over this information. Once you have signed up for this service, you can complete your booking.
For more information on Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code, we recommend contacting your bank.
Read more about MasterCard Secure Code
Read more about Verified by Visa
Amount reserved on your credit card
When using a credit card for a booking on KLM.com, you may see within a few days that your bank account is charged with the amount needed for your purchase. In fact, your bank only reserves this amount until KLM finalizes your payment, after which your account will actually be charged. This may take up to 30 days. During this time, the amount may be deducted from your spending limit.
This procedure is outside of the control of KLM. If you wish, you can contact your bank to request the release of the reserved amount.
Online banking
Online banking, also known as 'Real Time Online Banking' (RTOB), allows you to shop online safely and easily. Payment services include iDeal, CUP Online, eNets and Direct E-banking. Payment by RTOB is free of charge at KLM.com. You can even use this payment method up to two hours prior to departure.
After you have selected your flight, choose the applicable online banking method for your country under payment methods. Select your bank and enter all required information. Once payment has been confirmed, the amount will be debited from your account. Once the bank informs us that payment has been made, we will send your e-ticket to you by e-mail. This process usually takes less than 1 hour in most countries.
With online banking, you pay through our partner Ingenico ePayments. More information on Ingenico ePayments can be found at the bottom of this page.
With an E-Wallet you can combine various payment options, for example your credit card and bank account - and pay via 1 digital purse.
- PayPal: accepted on KLM.com in around 40 countries (not possible with American Express Cards)
- Alipay: China and Hong Kong (only local credit – and debit cards)
Please make sure you can pay the full amount with your E-Wallet – some E-Wallets limit the amount paid in once. As soon as your E-Wallet provider informs us that the payment has been done, we will send you your ticket via e-mail – usually within 1 hour.
Bank transfer
You can pay by bank transfer if the amount of time between booking and departure is at least 14 days.
If you opt to pay by bank transfer, you will be asked to enter a number of details. Naturally, all information will be treated confidentially. Once the reservation is complete, you will receive a payment reference code.
The reference code contains 12 numbers and is used to locate the right booking for the payment transferred. It is therefore extremely important that you enter this code correctly when making the transfer.
Once you have received the payment reference code, you can transfer the money from your own bank account. This can be done using online banking, a transfer form or a cash transaction at your bank. Make sure that the payment is made within 48 hours of making your booking.
Your bank may charge a transfer fee for this option. For international transfers, you are always charged a 'cross border transfer' fee on top of the ticket price. Your bank will be able to provide you with more information about this. If we do not receive the full amount of your ticket, your ticket issuance may be delayed.
Once the full amount has been received, you will be sent your e-ticket by e-mail. It may take up to 5 business days after payment before you receive your e-ticket.
With bank transfers, you usually pay through our partner Ingenico ePayments. However, you will need to transfer money directly to us, when booking in the Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, Ecuador, Ghana, Iran, Nigeria, Oman, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Suriname, Thailand or South Korea. Your payment is safe in all instances
Read more about Ingenico ePayments at the bottom of this page.
Cash and PIN payment
You can pay by cash or using a bank card with PIN code after you have made your online booking. You then pay and retrieve your ticket at a KLM ticket office. We accept PIN payments at our offices in the Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles and Suriname only. You can only pay by cash at a Western Union office.
There is usually no fee charged for cash or PIN payments, with the exception of payments made in the Netherlands Antilles and Bahrain.
If you wish to pay at the ticket office, make sure to bring along the booking confirmation or booking code that you received by e-mail. Please note: Not all ticket offices accept cash payments.

Man with NH ties lost legs in explosion
By MARK HAYWARD and TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
Brother says bombing victim Jeff Bauman helped ID suspect
Brother says bombing victim Jeff Bauman helped ID suspect
A Massachusetts man with ties to New Hampshire lost both of his lower legs in the explosions at the Boston Marathon Monday, according to social media postings.
Jeff Bauman Jr., 27, whose father lives in Concord, was at the finish line when the blasts went off, his father, Jeff Bauman Sr., wrote in a Facebook post Monday.
"Unfortunately, my son was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He had to have both lower limbs removed due to the extensive vascular and bone damage," Bauman posted Tuesday morning. He thanked many people for their prayers.
He also posted a news photo that shows an EMT and policeman rushing Bauman Jr., who is sitting dazed in a wheelchair, down a street. A bystander with a cowboy hat, who was later identified as peace activist Carlos Arredondo, is pinching closed an artery in Bauman's right leg.
The look in their two faces - anxious urgency in Arredondo's and ashen incomprehension on Bauman's - draws a human portrait of the blast that shook the confidence of Boston on one of its most celebrated days.
Bauman posted the photo to his Facebook page Monday night.
He later wrote that his son had to return to exploratory surgery Monday night due to fluid in his abdomen. He came out of surgery at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday and is doing fine.
The Baumans live in a modest house on Thomas Street in Concord. No one answered the door when a reporter visited Tuesday. No lights were on in the house, although two cars and an SUV were in the driveway.
A neighbor, Debbie LaFave, said she's known the family for years, but the younger Bauman didn't live in the house for long. She hasn't spoken to the family yet.
"I don't know what to say to them," LaFave said. "It really was a shock because this time it's hitting really close to home."
The New York Daily News quoted Bauman's sister, Csilla Schneider, who said he was at the marathon to watch his girlfriend, who was running the race. He was sitting near the finish line when the blast occurred, Schneider told the Daily News.
"I hope they catch these people," she told the newspaper.
Bauman Jr.'s Facebook page said he lives in Chelmsford, Mass.
About six hours after the Monday blast, his father posted a Facebook message asking for prayers.
"Can everyone pray for my son, Jeff Jr., who was at the finish line today in Boston. He is in surgery right now with injuries to his legs. I just can't explain what's wrong with people today to do this to people. I'm really starting to lose faith in our country," Bauman Sr. wrote.

"It's staggering."
That's Warren Littlefield, the former president of NBC, talking about the track record of sitcom director James Burrows. Tonight's premiere of Partners is his latest effort, but he's also directed more than 50 other pilots, including Cheers, Friends, Frasier, Taxi, Night Court, 2 Broke Girls, The Big Bang Theory and 3rd Rock From The Sun. As Littlefield puts it, "That's unheard of." Not emphatic enough? "There's no one on the planet that has had that level of success," Littlefield says.
He knows whereof he speaks. Back when he was developing Will & Grace, he told the creators, David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, to meet with Burrows, and although they originally figured they were taking the meeting as "a courtesy" to the "old man," they eventually did pick him to direct their pilot, not to mention every other episode of Will & Grace that ever was. He knows the difference between slap fights, they say — why it was funnier for Jack and Karen to slap each other slap-slap and then look at each other, as opposed to doing it one slap at a time.
It's the little things, really.
Burrows grew up surrounded by comic timing — his dad, Abe Burrows, co-wrote the script for Guys and Dolls. "When I went for jobs and stuff like that," he says, "I made sure that they knew who my dad was. And when I was dating girls, especially if they were from Broadway."
He worked for his dad for a while, and ultimately became the assistant stage manager on a new musical of Breakfast at Tiffany's that was apparently so awful that the star fled the stage in tears after every performance. Fortunately for Burrows, he bonded with her, and she was Mary Tyler Moore, who then let him direct an episode of her show. Although he says it wasn't a very good script, it led to more directing, and then to his first pilot: Taxi.
Burrows says Taxi was his hardest show, because "the actors were not from the same planet," but the four-camera approach was great for capturing spontaneity. The show produced what he calls "one of the biggest laughs [he] ever heard," during the infamous episode in which Reverend Jim tries to get his driver's license. (There's no real way to do justice to the laugh if you haven't heard it, so do yourself a favor and check out the audio at the top of the post.)
That Taxi script was written by two brothers, Glen and Les Charles. Together with Burrows, they created a show about a Boston bar, and that one did pretty well, too. Cheers, Burrows says, is his baby — his "fifth daughter," in addition to his four more conventional ones.
Despite that success, Burrows says he's not actually all that interested in creating shows. What he loves is directing. On the set of Partners — a show Mutchnick and Kohan also created — he ignores the monitors that are set up to let the audience watch scenes that take place away from the set. In fact, he doesn't even look at the stage. In fact, he's famous for directing with his eyes closed.
"I don't worry about it anymore," he says. "And I know when I block it and when I do it and when I plan it, I know I'm going to get the shot. So I just listen to the music the cast makes." He says it's a little like directing radio, more than television.
Partners premieres tonight on CBS at 8:30 p.m.
A sit-com premiering tonight called "Partners" has a major advantage over other new shows this season. "Partners" was directed by James Burrows, which is a name with particular residence in Hollywood. As NPR's Neda Ulaby reports, when Burrows directs a TV pilot, it's more or less a given the show will be picked up for a full season.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: Don't just take my word for it. Ask the former president of NBC Entertainment.
WARREN LITTLEFIELD: It's staggering.
ULABY: Warren Littlefield says James Burrows directed the pilots of "Cheers," "Friends," "Frazier," "Taxi," "Night Court," "Two Broke Girls"...
LITTLEFIELD: That's unheard of.
ULABY: And over 50 other pilots, including "The Big Bang Theory" and "3rd Rock from the Sun."
LITTLEFIELD: There's no one on the planet that has had that level of success.
INSKEEP: So when Littlefield was developing a promising new series called "Will and Grace" about a decade ago, he told its creators to meet with James Burrows. But David Kohan and Max Mutchnick were secretly unimpressed by the chance to work with a legend. They quietly decided they would do better with someone younger and fresher.
DAVID KOHAN: We thought, well, we'll do the old man a courtesy. We'll take a breakfast meeting with him.
ULABY: But Burrows won them over. He ended up directing the pilot and every single episode of "Will and Grace" ever aired. Kohan and Mutchnick say Burrows' speed and precision elevate comic moments already written as funny, like when the characters Jack and Karen get into a slap fight.
MEGAN MULLALLY: (as Karen) Get a grip on yourself.
SEAN HAYES: (as Jack) You get a grip on yourself.
MAX MUTCHNICK: It was written as slap.
ULABY: This, says Mutchnick, is where Burrows makes a slap fight sublime.
MUTCHNICK: Jimmy made it slap, slap, slap.
JAMES BURROWS: It wasn't slap, then look and be outraged and slap back. It was slap, slap and then look at each other and be outraged.
ULABY: Burrows was weaned on terrific comic timing.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: (Singing) Yes, sir, when you see a guy reach for stars in the sky...
ULABY: He grew up backstage on Broadway. His dad was Abe Burrows, who co-wrote the script for "Guys and Dolls."
BURROWS: You know, and for jobs and stuff like that, I made sure that they know who my dad was, and when I was dating girls, especially if they're from Broadway.
ULABY: They'd learn his dad was Abe Burrows, and Burrows, Sr. hired his son as an assistant stage manager for a new musical.
BURROWS: "Breakfast at Tiffany's," which was a huge flop.
ULABY: It was so awful, the star, Mary Tyler Moore, fled the stage in tears after every performance. She bonded with the assistant stage manager, and later let him direct on TV for the first time.
MARY TYLER MOORE: (as Mary Richards) Newsroom.
BURROWS: I did an episode called "Neighbors." It was not a very good script.
ULABY: But Mary Tyler Moore was pleased. That led to more directing, and then James Burrows' first pilot for the show "Taxi."
ULABY: "Taxi" was about a grab bag group of drivers at a New York City cab company.
BURROWS: The actors were not from the same planet. So that was the hardest show I ever did.
ULABY: Also, because the set was so enormous, Burrows decided to use four cameras, not the usual three. Multiple cameras means you get multiple takes all at the same time. And that meant the actors just had to nail a joke once. That changed the look of contemporary sitcoms, but for Burrows, it also meant he could capture the live audience's genuine, spontaneous response. One of his favorite moments was during an episode when an aspiring cabby has to take a written driving test.
BURROWS: And the rest of the drivers, they are giving him support. And he gets the first question and he says to the rest of the drivers: What does a yellow light mean?
ULABY: The answer is...
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Slow down.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: OK. What does a yellow light mean?
ULABY: They repeat that joke not one, but three times.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: (Singing) What...
BURROWS: That's one of the biggest laughs I've ever heard. That laugh goes on for 45 seconds.
ULABY: That particular "Taxi" script was written by brothers Glen and Les Charles. They teamed up with James Burrows to create a brand new show.
GLEN CHARLES: We love "Faulty Towers." We wanted to do a show about a hotel. And then we said all the stuff will take place in a bar. And then we decided, no, we're going to do a sports bar. And we found a city, Boston. "Cheers" has always been my baby, and that's my child. I have four daughters. That's my fifth daughter.
GARY PORTNOY: (Singing) Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
ULABY: Burrows says he's not really into creating shows. He prefers the hands-on work of directing. Right now, he's getting ready to film an episode of the new comedy, "Partners," and stomping around backstage.
BURROWS: Gursky, stop tinkering, will you?
GURSKY: I'm sorry, Mr. Burrows.
ULABY: It looks like a regular theater - not too big, but with a long corridor, with the sets of different rooms sitting one after the other. The camera and crew can travel back and forth, but the audience is fixed in front of the main set. They need overhead monitors to watch the scenes in other rooms. That makes James Burrows a little crazy.
BURROWS: Back in the old days, when we did "Cheers" there was no monitors, so the audience had to watch the action. Therefore, we had to have all the sets in front of the audience. It was never a problem.
ULABY: James Burrows is so against monitors, he ignores them when he directs. He doesn't even look at the stage. He's famous for directing with his eyes closed.
BURROWS: I don't worry about it anymore. And I know when I block it and when I do it and when I plan it, I know I'm going to get the shot. So I just listen to the music with the cast mates.
ULABY: It's almost not like directing television, he says, so much as radio. "Partners" is actually his second show with the "Will and Grace" guys, and the third time he's directed something called "Partners." One was another sitcom back in 1990s, and the other was the only feature film James Burrows ever directed. He didn't like the experience, he says. He's a sitcom guy. Neda Ulaby, NPR News.

NEW YORK—A man is in custody on suspicion of intentionally starting a fatal five-alarm fire Thursday in a New York City apartment building as part of a domestic dispute with his child's mother, authorities said.
Charges are pending against the unidentified 45-year-old suspect, who lived in the now fire-gutted five-story building at 41 Spring St. in the fashionable Soho district of Manhattan, according to police spokesman Paul Browne.
Witnesses saw the suspect start the fire in a second floor hallway at about 6:40 p.m. after a domestic dispute with the woman, Browne said. He said the woman and the child are accounted for.
One person was killed in the fire. Browne said the unidentified victim was apparently not part of the dispute and was found on the third floor fire escape burned beyond recognition.
An off-duty firefighter from Los Angeles, who was dining in the area, spotted the flames and ran over to the building where he was confronted by the suspect who wouldn't let him into the building, Browne said.
The suspect also fought with a police officer and New York City firefighters who were trying to enter the building. The suspect was treated at a hospital for bruises and a police officer was treated for a broken hand, Browne said.
About 200 firefighters responded to the blaze, which quickly spread to the upper floors and through the roof, according to FDNY Chief of Operations James Esposito.
Esposito said firefighters had to use the rear fire escape and portable ladders because the heavy fire had burned away the stairways.
"We had an extraordinary amount of fire," said Esposito. "The fire encompassed all the walls and all the floors."
Esposito said the fire completely gutted the inside of the building and at least nine people, including seven firefighters, suffered minor injuries. It was declared under control at 9:20 p.m.
"It's essentially destroyed and it's not going to be livable for quite some time," Esposito said of the building.
A neighbor who lives two buildings down from the fire, Juliet Gentile, 35, said she was home and smelled smoke. She said she went up to her roof and saw the flames.
"As soon as I saw that I got to get out of here," said Gentile. "It was coming right out. The whole thing was in flames."
The American Red Cross said early Friday that it was providing housing for at least two families and would be meeting with several others later in the day to determine their needs.

10 Questions: James Dobson on The Program
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
The Program has pulled off something difficult to accomplish – worked its way into the Nebraska football vocabulary. The two-word catch phrase has become a four-minute video that showcases the Huskers' high-level off-season challenges. James Dobson, Nebraska's head strength coach, oversees Nebraska's relationship with the Boston-based training experts.
Eric Kapitulik (pronounced Kappa-too-lick), the founder and CEO of The Program, is so immersed in helping Nebraska develop a combat-like mindset that he has the full endorsement of Bo Pelini. Nebraska's sixth-year head coach paid The Program his ultimate tribute last fall when he presented Kapitulik the game ball after the Huskers stopped Michigan in its tracks, 23-9, in Lincoln. Earlier in the week, the N-Sider asked Dobson for an update on The Program and a broader view of Nebraska's involvement with Kapitulik and his dynamic organization.
Q-1: In a nutshell, what is The Program?
A: For our players and our team, The Program is another way to develop leadership through shared adversity. The Program had the same message as last year but they presented it in a different way. Hopefully, the change in presentation got the message across to guys that didn't get it the first time around and reinforced it to those who did get it.
Q-2: Who benefits most – the older guys or the younger guys?
A: Both benefit. Anytime you can bring in legitimate people from the outside with a different approach to things everyone can benefit from that. The older guys have been through this process once and will get reinforcement about The Program's message and the young guys will get that message for the first time. We all benefit from facing the adversity that The Program presents.
Q-3: How good is the U.S. Military?
A: They're great! I have a tremendous amount of respect for our armed forces. They are the best and the most successful armed force in the world. They have legitimacy the minute they walk in the door. They've had to cope with every stressful thing you can imagine. They can do things that normal people can't do. We take more from their message than just how you can be a better player. It will make you a better person.
Q-4: Why is it so hard to be a good teammate these days?
A: I believe we live in a very selfish world for the most part and being a good teammate means that you have to be very selfless. It is hard to be selfless in times of adversity. It is at these times when a good teammate truly worries about the guy next to him and not himself. The Program stresses the importance of this. Their code of honor addresses the team higher than themselves. That's the essence of The Program … team first in every case.
Q-5: After losing an early conference road game in 2012, Coach Pelini said his team had to win the next six, and he was going to do everything possible to make that happen. Was The Program imbedded in that?
A: You would have to ask Coach Bo. I wouldn't be surprised that The Program's message had some influence but Coach Bo has always had and continues to have high expectations for this team academically, athletically, and socially. Coach Bo has always challenged the team and the staff to meet those expectations. Coach has promoted and nurtured this environment since I've been a part of his staff. I don't think anyone in this football program would have it any other way.
Q-6: I know you prefer not to name names, but some leaders from last week's training have to move to the front of your mind. Even at the risk of missing some, can you throw out a few names for some quick kudos?
A: The Program is about the "Team". The team did well with the training, and I am positive that the team will produce leaders that we can all be very proud of.
Q-7: What does "It's not about me" really mean?
A: To me, it means that every day you need to be a good teammate. It's about the guy next to you and not yourself. To be a good teammate, you have to set high expectations and hold each other accountable to meet those expectations. In order to do this, trust becomes very important. The minute you start to trust each other, you're on your way to become a better team.
Q-8: Kenny Bell emerged last year as a team leader. Is he still leading?
A: Yes. I think that Kenny has his own type of leadership skills that he applies with his teammates. I believe he would be the first to say that The Program has helped him with these skills and how he can be a good teammate.
Q-9: The sign on your wall quotes Dan Gable, the Olympic wrestling icon. It says: "They have options. You don't." What does that mean?
A: It means if you want to become a champion, you have no options.Period.
Q-10: Last question. How would you describe Bo's take on The Program?
A: You would need to ask Bo about that one, but I know that Bo would not put people in front of this team that he didn't believe in. I believe Bo wants to develop the guys on this team to be great men and set them up for a successful life, and I think that The Program has a message that will help in that pursuit.

Court ruling keeps girl on Bishop Brady boys' hockey team, for nowBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 10. 2012 10:29PM
CONCORD - A judge's ruling has allowed a female hockey player to continue playing with the Bishop Brady High School boys' team, rather than with a girls' cooperative team with players from Bishop Brady and Trinity High School of Manchester.
Shelby Herrington played for the Brady boys' team the past two seasons, but with the creation of the Brady/Trinity girls' program this year, the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association declared her ineligible to play with the boys.
Herrington challenged that decision, and on Friday Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Richard McNamara ruled that she could continue to play for the boys' team through at least its first three games of the season, which opens Wednesday. McNamara said he will rule by Dec. 19 whether the NHIAA is within its rights to keep Herrington off the team she played for the past two seasons.
Herrington's lawyer argues the issue is one of discrimination, saying she is being denied a spot on the boys' team because of her gender. In court papers, Concord attorney Robert Carey cited the language of Title IX, the landmark 1984 federal law that requires colleges and high schools to put athletic programs for females on an equal footing with those for males.
"NHIAA's decision denies Shelby the opportunity to continue playing on the boys' team solely on the basis of her sex," Carey wrote.
The NHIAA, which adopts and enforces rules that govern high school sports in New Hampshire, decided last month that Herrington's place on the ice was with her school's newly formed girls' team.
The organization presented its position as pro-girls' hockey, saying that allowing girls to play for the boys' team at a school that offers teams for both genders would weaken the girls' program, as well as girls' hockey in general around the state.
The only way to grow the sport is to have exceptional girls play girls' hockey, said Mike Callahan, the lawyer for NHIAA who asked a judge to keep Herrington on the girls' team.
Callahan said other female hockey players awaiting the outcome of the case will push to join a boys' team if the judge rules permanently in Herrington's favor.
"We're going to create an elite class of quality players that will play on the boys' hockey team, and the girls' hockey team will become junior-varsity hockey," Callahan said during Friday's hearing. He also questioned whether less talented boys would attempt to play on girls' teams.
During the 1-1/2-hour hearing, McNamara raised a range of questions about high school sports. He used the Manchester high school football Turkey Bowl to question what level of school spirit could be found in a two-school team. He maintained that boys' and girls' hockey are different because boys' hockey is a much more physical sport; it permits checking while the girls' game does not.
And McNamara seemed to side with one of Herrington's strongest arguments: that the NHIAA allowed Danielle DiCesare to play her senior year on the St. Thomas Aquinas of Dover boys' team, in 2007-08.
Callahan said that was the first year of girls' hockey in the state, adding that New Hampshire girls' hockey has improved since then. He said the difference between the rules in boys' and girls' hockey isn't relevant to Herrington's aspirations to play at the collegiate level, noting that checking isn't allowed in college women's hockey either.
Herrington, 17, initially enrolled at Bishop Brady with the hopes of playing on the boys' team, which she succeeded in doing as a freshman and sophomore.
Her father, Lee Herrington, is founder of the Herrington Catalog Company, according to the company's website.
Shelby Herrington attends hockey camps in the summer, and she plays for Team Pittsburgh, a junior team affiliated with the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Aviators.
Her lawyer said her ability to obtain a scholarship to a Division I team and potentially an Olympic team placement is being jeopardized by the NHIAA decision. He would not speak to a reporter Monday.
When the NHIAA considered Herrington's case, the organization received letters on her behalf from several New Hampshire hockey coaches, as well as from Jeffery D. Kampersaf, head coach of Princeton University women's ice hockey program.
In an Oct. 31 letter to the NHIAA, Kampersaf said he has followed Herrington and seen her improve over the past two years, in part because of "her continued participation in the faster boys' game at the high school level."
Hockey coaches from Hanover, Pinkerton Academy of Derry and Bishop Guertin of Nashua wrote in support of Herrington.
In a Sept. 11 letter to Bishop Brady officials, Patrick Corbin, executive director of the NHIAA, said the gender equity issue has evolved from court cases and been upheld.
"If a sport is offered for boys and a comparable sport is offered for girls, then the girls must play on the team of their gender. There is no consideration or provision that accounts for competitiveness or ability in the by-laws," he wrote.
