Roger King, left, with Hunter, and Sean O'Donnell, with Kuno, are members of a new veterans support group in Sag Harbor.
By Stephen J. Kotz
U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Roger King was stationed at an outpost in Fallujah, Iraq, on July 31, 2006, when a patrol returning to the base was ambushed near the front gate. Lance Corporal King, who was nearby, ran to get his weapon to return fire. It was the last thing he remembered.
"I was hit by a sniper in the helmet," said Mr. King, who was knocked unconscious by the bullet's impact. After three days of medical treatment, he was back on duty, showing no apparent lingering effects from his head injury, and chalking up his lucky escape to his modern helmet.
But Mr. King, a Sag Harbor native, who had been planning to reenlist when his tour of duty ended, knew something was wrong several months later when, during a training mission, he had to play the role of a soldier who had been shot and killed by a sniper. "It led to me getting nightmares and the post-traumatic effects of getting shot," he said.
Mr. King said he eventually concluded that he could not fulfill the duties expected of him as a marine and reluctantly chose to leave the service. Once back home, though, he continued to do battle with his nightmares and was eventually referred to Katherine Mitchell, a licensed clinical social worker, by a friend at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Sag Harbor.
"It became pretty clear, early on, that it was important to have something available to him, beyond just talking to me," said Ms. Mitchell, who began meeting with Mr. King in June 2013 and thought he would benefit from talking about his readjustment to civilian life with fellow veterans.
After a little research, Ms. Mitchell discovered the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Project, a joint initiative of the Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency and the Suffolk County United Veterans.
The project is named after Joseph Dwyer, an army medic from Mt. Sinai, who, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, committed suicide after his return from Iraq in 2008. The program, which was championed by State Senator Lee Zeldin, is funded by New York State and has now been expanded to a dozen counties statewide.
By September, the project had agreed to launch its first peer support group on the East End, one that now meets weekly at Ms. Mitchell's Noyac office.
Although Ms. Mitchell said post-traumatic stress disorder is a major concern and that the number of veterans committing suicide has reached epidemic proportions—a recent Veterans Administration study found that as many as 22 veterans kill themselves each day—she stressed that the support group is available to serve all veterans.
"Anybody who serves in the military is changed by it, it's a change of culture," she said. "It's not just about PTSD and guys freaking out. There are a lot of things to come to terms with while readjusting to civilian life."
"With peer support, we are trying to provide an alternative to group therapy," said Sean O'Donnell, a sergeant in the Army National Guard from Patchogue, who now serves as the facilitator of the Noyac/Sag Harbor group. "We are trying to catch the guys who fall through the net" and might not actively seek out more traditional forums to discuss their problems.
Mr. O'Donnell said he had his own difficulties readjusting to civilian life. In Iraq, he served on a security detail for convoys of 50 to 100 18-wheel semi-tractor trailers that would barrel from Kuwait into Iraq.
"We didn't have a lot of fire fights, but there were plenty of close calls," said Mr. O'Donnell. "Plus, there was the constant tension, the constant threat of a truck rolling over or getting blown up. My job was to sit up and be on the alert."
When he got home, he found himself suffering from a condition known as hyper vigilence in which he would notice absolutely everything along the road, from the clothing other drivers were wearing to pieces of debris on the shoulder. It got to the point, he said, where he would make his wife drive and he would sit with his eyes closed in a fully reclined passenger seat to try to avoid the stress it caused.
Mr. O'Donnell, who now runs four different meetings in Suffolk County each week, said that another aspect of the PFC Joseph Dwyer Project is that the program is willing to offer veterans non-traditional services that run the gamut from yoga to acupuncture.
It just so happens that Ms. Mitchell shares office space with Mikal Gohring, an acupuncturist, who is offering free treatments to the members of the support group following a model that was developed by volunteers treating victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Mr. Gohring said that many veterans the group in New Orleans treated for storm-related stress issues, raved about the results, leading it to expand its offerings.
"I'm looking forward to it growing," he said, noting that he planned to offer demonstrations at the Sag Harbor VFW and American Legion.
Mr. O'Donnell, whose German short-haired pointer, Kuno, recently sired puppies, has added yet another offered to the mix in the form of a therapy dog program that he leads on weekends. One of his puppies, Hunter, will be going to Mr. King.
"We pretty much offer the whole spectrum," said Mr. O'Donnell, "from alternative treatments to offering outings for guys who want to go out and go on fishing trips or go kayaking."
There's food too. Jordan's Initiative, the charity started by JoAnn Lyles, whose son's Jordan Haerter was killed in Iraq six years ago this week, delivers free meals to the veterans on meeting nights.
The director of the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Project, John Schulz, is also veteran, who served in the Marine Corps in Iraq.
"These guys are coming back, especially the reservists, with very little debriefing," he said. "They are released back into the world and a year later they could be called right back up again."
"The groups usually start by word of mouth, veterans talking to veterans," he continued. There are now seven active groups in Suffolk County and he said he expected two or three more to be up and running by summer. "Sag Harbor seems to be a successful. We'd like to set them up in Southampton and East Hampton."
Mr. Schulz said the project likes to keep the groups small. "We try not to have more than four or five guys," he said. "One the group gets too big, people sit back and let the other people do the talking or they just get overwhelmed."
"I do what I can, but this is really about peer support," said Ms. Mitchell of the meetings at her office. "I'm always on the fringes of it."
She added, though, that it's not always just veterans. "They have had a couple of meetings where they have invited significant others so family members get an idea of what their loved ones have experienced."
"It's not just talking about your problems," added Mr. King, who is training to become a facilitator himself as the program expands. "It's about talking to other vets, bouncing ideas off of them, and pretty much the idea of having that best friend and comrade who is willing to say, 'Hey, this is what works for me.'"

I don't normally post. Actually, I never post. But I couldn't have my fantasy knowledge besmirched in such a way, Pearwood
The exact wording (because you're not the only pedant and I'm reading it from the magazine in question) was 'Arnie doesn't get to speak too much as the comic- hero Conan' which isn't really the same as saying he was the creation of Marvel Comics. Unfortunately, there's not enough space in these kinds of articles to go into details about the full lineage of a character. I'd also put forward that when it comes to the Hogdog audience, Conan's better known (rightly or wrongly) from his life in the comics (which started in 1970 and are still ongoing) than he is from the original tales.
I adore Robert E. Howard and Conan (it's amazing how often he comes up in job interviews) and I wouldn't want anyone to think I didn't know what I was waffling on about! Albeit 6+ years ago.
I hope I'm forgiven.
PS. Just to address something else that came up in this thread, I never worked on Firefly the TV series (sadly, since I *heart* Whedon) I worked with a games developer called Firefly. Much less impressive, I know.

September 3 Lecture at the Athenaeum Explores Local Connection to Mid-19th Century Cast Iron Downspouts
The Friends of Alexandria Archaeology (FOAA) and the Athenaeum are co-sponsoring an illustrated lecture about Alexandria's historic cast iron downspouts. The lecture will be held on Saturday, September 3, at 10 a.m. at the Athenaeum, 201 Prince Street. Archaeologist Mark Michael Ludlow will present "The Mid-Nineteenth Century Decorative Cast Iron Downspouts of Old Town Alexandria: Decorative and Functional Architectural Statements of Social Status and Their Connection to the Two T.W. & R.C. Smith Foundries, the Early Hugh Smith Family, and Alexandria's Early Locomotive Manufacturers." Ludlow, a PhD candidate in archaeology at the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, estimates there are 36 residences in Old Town with these downspouts.
The lecture is expected to last about 45 minutes, and audience members will have an opportunity to ask questions at the end. The lecture is free and open to all, but reservations are required. To make a reservation, contact Paul Nasca at Alexandria Archaeology at firstname.lastname@example.com or 703.746.4399.
The Athenaeum is home to the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Association (NVFAA). The NVFAA strives to establish premier arts programs that enrich the cultural life of Northern Virginia and beyond. Constructed between 1851 and 1852, it began as the Bank of the Old Dominion. The bank was the source of capital and financing of various businesses – being strategically situated at the head of "Captain's Row," a block of 18th-century houses still facing the original cobblestone street.

During the past few years, the deployment of cloud architectures has accelerated to support various consumer and enterprise applications such as email, word processing, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management and the like. Traditionally, co-located servers, storage and networking moved to the cloud en masse in the form of a service, with overlying applications that have been and remain very insensitive to delay and jitter.
But the fast-emerging next generation of business applications require much tighter service level agreements (SLA) from cloud providers. Applications such as Internet of Things, smart grids, immersive communications, hosted clients and gaming are some good examples. These use cases tend to be marked by periods of high interactivity, so delay and jitter for the network, computer and storage must be minimized. During times of normal interactivity, the applications are in steady-state condition, requiring minimal SLAs from the infrastructure resources.
Emerging use cases drive demand for two-tier cloud architectures
These emerging use cases are driving the rise of two-tier cloud architectures. The key for these architectures to succeed is efficiency: they must be cost-effective to deploy and guarantee a tight SLA for applications while leaving the rest of the carrier and cloud infrastructure unchanged. What's more, the application service needs to move closer to the end user, but only for the duration of the real-time interaction. These measures help ensure that the customer's application-specific requirements for delay and jitter are met without requiring major upgrades to the carrier or cloud infrastructures.
In this two-tier cloud architecture, the first cloud tier, also referred to in the industry as centralized cloud, is where the applications typically reside. The second cloud tier is invoked on demand, and the application's virtual machine along with its relevant network, application and storage data shift to this tier. Keep in mind that the second tier can be instantiated as part of an existing service provider network element or as a stand-alone infrastructure element closer to the end user.
A connected patient heart monitor provides a useful example. During most of its operational time, the device may be collecting data only periodically, and with no need for any interactions with medical staff. But when the heart monitor detects an abnormality, the application hosted in the cloud must instantly be moved closer to the user in order to provide interactivity. For this use case, the second tier cloud must host the application, assess the patient's condition, retrieve relevant historical information and alert the medical staff for a possible medical response.
The key, then, is to move applications from tier one to tier two clouds seamlessly. LSI® Axxia® multi-core communication processors feature an architectural scalability for network acceleration and computer cluster capabilities that provide this seamless bridge between the two clouds. In order for the two-tier cloud architectures to thrive, they need three fundamental elements:
a. On-demand resource provisioning
Many cloud datacenters are squarely focused on deploying end-to-end resource provisioning tools to improve efficiency. Not the least among these is the fast-growing end-to-end orchestration ecosystem for OpenStack® software, though there are many proprietary solutions. End-to-end orchestration tools need to be aware of all the second-tier cloud datacenter components. In some cases, OpenStack is even being deployed to boot up second tier cloud components. However, a big challenge remains – maintaining a steady state and full capabilities of various distributed second-tier cloud components.
b. Efficient virtual machine movements
For tiered cloud architectures to thrive, they must also transfer enough network, application and storage data to sustain continuing operations of the application at the second tier. However, many of today's virtual machine migration solutions are not geared to moving datacenter resources efficiently. In a two-tier cloud architecture, the virtual machine migration may traverse many hops of carrier infrastructure, increasing total cost of ownership (TCO). In addition, complete virtual machine images must be transferred before the destination station can start the machines, extending the time it takes for the second tier to take control. The upshot is that optimized solutions need to be developed to enable seamless virtual machine migrations.
c. Network and storage acceleration of resource-constrained tier-two clouds
Unlike the first cloud tier, the second cloud tier is bound to be resource-constrained, requiring significant data acceleration for both the networking and storage layers. A 16-core full SMP ARM®-based processor like the LSI Axxia 5500 processor, with its processor cores and, more importantly, its fully programmable acceleration engines for offloading security, deep packet inspection, traffic management and other functions is well-suited for network acceleration of the second cloud tier. Keep in mind that specific acceleration needs vary based on the location of the second tier cloud. For example, the acceleration requirements of the second cloud tier would differ depending on whether it is part of a service provider access aggregation router or located on a remote lamp post. The need for security acceleration, in particular, increases tremendously in cases where data associated with particular data events must be authenticated before further processing. To support these various acceleration needs, the second cloud tier can be built out of fairly homogeneous and scalable ARM-based hardware components with differing acceleration builds tuned to specific tasks running on it.
Momentum for greater connectivity builds
Momentum behind billions of connected things/machines across industrial and consumer applications to create a more connected, interactive world is building. Two-tier clouds and other innovative architectures are emerging at an accelerated pace to meet demand for this higher order of connectivity. And it is solutions like the LSI Axxia processor that promise to enable the scalable, flexible acceleration required for these emerging two-cloud architectures.

Java News closing its doors downtownBy Courtney Parker
CORRESPONDENT | March 28,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Verna and Tom Navin are retiring and closing Java News in the Asa Bloomer building on Friday.The smell of freshly baked goods and Vermont coffee will no longer fill the first floor of the Asa Bloomer building as Java News closes its doors for the last time Friday.
The petite coffee shop opened in December 1999 and has served as a hot spot for many downtown employees.
Owners Tom and Verna Navin, both in their 70s, are looking to leave the business and live a simpler lifestyle in retirement.
We were hoping to sell rather than close, said Verna Navin.
After being on the market for several months the shop received several inquiries but no offers, leaving the Navins no option but to close.
We wouldnt have closed down if my daughter was still around, Verna Navin said.
The Navins daughter, former owner Verna Lillian Navin, passed away in September 2012 after a 1½-year battle with cancer.
The parents originally joined the business to help out while their daughter was hospitalized and took over after her death.
It has been a rough road the past few years, but weve done well here and the people are wonderful, Tom Navin said.
The Navins said they have grown fond of their customers.
Our customers have been very supportive over the year, Tom Navin said. If theres one thing were going to miss, its them.
The Navins are not the only ones who will miss Java News.
They are really an important part of our building, said Heidi Alberico, administrative assistant at the states Department for Children and Families.
Alberico, who can usually be spotted with one of the shops doughnuts and a chocolate milk in hand, said she and many of her co-workers make daily trips to the café due to its close proximity to their office. The Asa Bloomer building is home to many state offices.
While she is happy the Navins will finally have some time to themselves, Alberico is sad to see them go.
Tom and Vern are very kind people who obviously care about their customers, she said. They will definitely be missed.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

Slater-Price's departure from county board is well-timed
Twenty years and one month ago, Pam Slater was sworn in as a county supervisor, a month before an official ceremony that would also include newly elected Dianne Jacob.
The gun had to be jumped because Susan Golding, the 3rd District supervisor Slater was replacing, had left early to take over as the mayor of San Diego.
Slater's big day, however, did not go like clockwork.
The battery of her car died on Interstate 5, making her an hour late.
"If it could go wrong today, it did," Slater told the standing O audience when she finally arrived.
On Monday, Pam Slater-Price's exit from office went off like a fine Swiss watch. At 12:52 p.m., Dave Roberts, 51, took the oath of office in an overflowing conference room at the county's new operations center.
Slater-Price wore an elegant black St. John's knit — and a high-beam smile.
"I am the first new supervisor in 18 years, the first of that next generation of county supervisors," Roberts told the over-the-moon crowd of supporters, a group of them wearing the campaign's signature purple.
Roberts took the oath with his left hand on a 45-year-old Bible, given to him in third grade. His family — husband Wally Oliver and five adopted children, four boys and a girl, ages 4 to 17 — bore proud witness.
For "Daddy Dave," the days of regular trips to Washington are over. He'll be close to his Solana Beach "Leave It to Beaver" home once owned by the late Patti Page.
How different this rite of passage would have been if Steve Danon, who barely lost to Roberts in November, had prevailed.
Slater-Price would have been in Europe with husband Hershell Price.
I can't think of any politician who has spent more personal capital to assure that her chosen successor won her seat. The supervisor fought like a tigress in stilettos for her man.
For starters, she endorsed Democrat Roberts over longtime Del Mar friend, Republican Carl Hilliard. She never missed an opportunity to bash the GOP-backed Danon, predicting that his election would be a nightmare right out of a Stephen King novel.
A culturally liberal Republican, she went all in for a Democrat who'd left the Republican Party years ago for its dark view of his sexual orientation.
In his speech, Roberts freely acknowledged Slater-Price's decisive influence on his campaign. "I would not be standing here today if it were not for the courage and vision of former Supervisor Slater-Price," he said.
Slater-Price's legacy issues — the arts and the environment — are his causes as well, he pledges.
To the surprise of no one, Roberts is retaining John Weil, Slater-Price's chief of staff, as well as three other key Slater-Price team members.
For going on two decades, supervisors have ruled like Republican overlords, swatting away challengers like gnats. But the end of the dynasty is near.
Thanks to union-backed term limits, passed two years ago, Roberts is the first supervisor ever elected whose days in office are legally numbered at 2,920 (assuming he's re-elected in 2016). Both Jacob and Supervisor Greg Cox, who were also sworn in Monday, have another term if they so choose.

Frogs are one of the more interesting members of the animal kingdom. They spend a fair part of their lives as aquatic creatures, hop and jump instead of walk, make interesting sounds, and can come in a beautiful array of colors. They are also innocuous, friendly animals to have near the house especially because the tadpoles eat the larvae of mosquitos and other biting bugs. As decor, they also make a pleasant, fun addition to the edges of backyard ponds, pools, and fountains.
Bronze garden frogs in particular make a wonderful addition to the backyard, especially when they also act as fountains on their own. The Lily Pad Frog is a cute, solid bronze animal yard statue that depicts one of those long-limbed amphibians hoisting a lily pad high over its head to show that frogs have just as much strength in their upper body as they do in their legs.
The Playful Pond Spitting Frog Bronze Statue is a beautiful, solid bronze statue that is 16 inches wide. It shows the same striped pattern on the legs as a live Leopard Frog and recycles water back into your fountain or pond in a long stream that issues forth from its mouth. Pair that realistic frog statue with the Lazy Frog on Lily Pad Bronze Garden Statue for a fun amphibian sculpture in a much more relaxed pose.
Find these fine bronze frog statues and dozens of other quality bronze and resin garden statues at Design Toscano today.

As expected, yesterday Nintendo's stock plunged by 18% after the news that they were cutting their Wii U and 3DS forecasts by huge margins as the fiscal year draws to a close in a few months. I wrote about how their own warped perception of their success is almost more dangerous to the company than the actual numbers, and they need a reality check to get back on track. This has to be it.
And as much as I love discussing grand theories about what Nintendo needs to do to turn things around, they're not always practical. As much as we would like them too, Nintendo isn't going to announce a "Super Wii" project this morning, a new console to compete with the Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PS4. Nor, as per my suggestion, are we going to hear they're ceasing production of the Wii U and starting to make software for competitor systems. Perhaps someday, but not today, and not tomorrow for either of these ideas.
So, what can they announce right now that will have an impact on investors and make fans think that they've at least learned something in this mess? Here are a few ideas.
I really don't need to write an entire essay on why this needs to happen, because VG247′s Matt Martin has done it for me. The long and short of it is that this missed prediction lands squarely on Iwata. He had time and time again to revise the 9 million forecast for Wii U sales, but waited until three months before the deadline to admit it was off by more than 300%, and really only 2.8M Wii Us will be sold (hopefully, at this rate). The same goes for the 3DS forecast, which even as the system sells well, was still off by 5 million or so. This is inexcusable, as is pretty much everything that's happened with the Wii U's marketing and development since its inception, all under Iwata's watch. But the missed forecast is probably his most egregious offense, and it's dangerously close to almost misleading investors. Nintendo needs new leadership for a lot of reasons, and I think it's Iwata's time to step down.
Account Fixes
Though Nintendo has promised that unified accounts are coming down the road to link 3DS and Wii U purchases, many of their most devoted fans are starting to become skeptical of the company because of how poorly they manage their digital sales. Something as simple as a software glitch or a hardware failure forces players to rebuy games they've already bought, as Nintendo simply doesn't seem to care the games were already purchased once. If you say, lose your entire 3DS by accident, you wouldn't just lose your save games, you'd lose your entire game library, and would have to repurchase everything unless you successfully barter with Nintendo for a refund credit. Imagine if your iPad or Kindle broke and your had to repurchase all of your apps or ebooks. Sounds silly, but that's the world Nintendo is living in right now, and it's unacceptable.

Dana White says Johny Hendricks likely earns title shot with UFC 158 win | News
UFC President Dana White today said once-beaten Johny Hendricks (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) would likely earn a shot at the title should he look impressive at the event against Jake Ellenbeger (28-6 MMMA, 7-2 UFC).
"I'd have to say if Johny Hendricks looks good and wins his fight, it will probably be Hendricks (next)," White said.
UFC 158 takes place March 16 at Montreal's Bell Centre. St-Pierre vs. Diaz headlines with Hendricks and Ellenberger also meeting on the pay-per-view main card. Today's comments were made at a pre-event press conference promoting the event.
There are some who believe Hendricks should have been the one fighting St-Pierre at UFC 158. After all, the 29-year-old currently boasts a five-fight win streak that includes knockout victories of perennial contenders Martin Kampmann and Jon Fitch. Meanwhile, Diaz was defeated by Carlos Condit in February 2012 and has since been sidelined while serving an NSAC-ordered suspension after failing a post-fight drug screen.
St-Pierre, who openly lobbied for the fight with Diaz, is not among those people.
"I think for me Nick Diaz is the No. 1 contender," St-Pierre said. "He's proven himself many times before. There's a story between us. It's a big fight everyone wants to see.
"Nick wanted that fight for a long time, and I wanted to have that fight for a long time. Now it's time to do it."
St-Pierre and Diaz, of course, were supposed to fight in late 2011 before the challenger no-showed a pair of promotional events and was pulled from the card. That didn't keep him from trashtalking the champion in later interviews, which is a primary reason St-Pierre is so insistent on the matchup.
However, St-Pierre also points to Hendricks' razor-thin split-decision win over Josh Koscheck as a reason he does not deserve top-contender status.
"Johny Hendricks, when I watched the fight with Josh Koscheck, according to me, Josh Koscheck should have won that fight, so I didn't want to fight a guy that lost to a guy I already beat," St-Pierre said.
But all of that doubt could be erased should Hendricks down Ellenberger in UFC 158's co-main event.
Of course, in the ever-changing world of the UFC where timing often dictates opportunities as much as anything else, White said that scenario is simply the most likely and not a guarantee.
"Who knows?" White asked. "We'll see what happens."
GSP Didn't Want to Fight Johny Hendricks Because He Believes He Lost to Josh Koscheck
"It's different reasons why – first, Nick and I were supposed to fight before, and this is the fight everybody wants to see. This is the big fight people wanted to see. People wanted to see this fight more than me fighting any other guys," St-Pierre said.
The other reason St-Pierre says he opted for Diaz was because of Johny Hendricks' 2012 performance against Josh Koscheck at UFC on Fox 3. In that fight, Hendricks pulled out a close split decision victory, but St-Pierre believes the fight should have gone the other way.
The Canadian wasn't as interested in facing Hendricks, who he believes lost to an opponent he's already bested twice in the Octagon.
"My other option was Johny Hendricks and Johny Hendricks, when I watched the fight with Josh Koscheck, according to me Josh Koscheck should have won that fight, so I didn't want to fight a guy that lost to a guy I beat," said St-Pierre.
"I think for me Nick Diaz is the No. 1 contender. He's proven himself many times before, and there is a story between us. It's a big fight everybody wants to see. Nick wanted to have that fight for a long time. I wanted to have that fight for a long time. Now it's time to do it."As for Johny Hendricks, who now squares off with Jake Ellenberger at the same card in Montreal this March, he will likely get the next shot at the champion assuming he comes away victorious. Like anything else in the UFC, it's not a guarantee, but right now Hendricks is leading the pack of contenders.
"I would have to say the Johny Hendricks thing, if Johny Hendricks looks good and wins his fight, it will probably be Hendricks," said UFC president Dana White. "But then again who knows, we'll see what happens that night."

- INTERPOL The Hague
Member since :
7 septembre 1923
Law enforcement services in The Netherlands are managed by the Minister of Security and Justice.
Reorganized into one single national police force in January 2013, the new National Police of the Netherlands, called 'Politie' in Dutch, is made up of 10 regional units, a Central Unit for specialist police activities and a Police Service Centre for all business operations. The new structure is characterized by strong cooperation within one organization, performed seamlessly at three policing levels: local, regional and national.
Force Command
The Force Command, which has a headquarters function, develops policy and makes strategic decisions at national level. Composed of the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners and the Chief Information Officer, the Force Command is supported by the Commissioner's Staff.
Central Unit
Whilst each regional unit is operationally self-sufficient, the National Police includes one central unit which performs both independent and support tasks. Headed by a Chief Constable, the Central Unit is responsible for cross-regional and specialist police activities, including forensic investigations, canine and equestrian units and helicopter police.
Operational divisions of the Central Unit include:
- Central Operations Division: coordination, monitoring and steering of national police operations;
- Central Criminal Investigations Division: serious organized crime, sex crimes committed against children, environmental crime, terrorism and high-tech crime;
- Central Operational Cooperation Division: operational support and sophisticated technological services for covert activities. Includes the National Forensic Service Centre;
- Central Infrastructure Division: safety and crime fighting along the main transport arteries and hubs in The Netherlands;
- Central Security and Protection Division: protection of individuals, objects and services at national, regional, and local levels. Works closely with the National Coordinator for Security and Counter-Terrorism and the Public Prosecution Service;
- Special Interventions Division: serious violence and terrorism;
- Central Intelligence Division: coordination of law enforcement information in the Netherlands and its exchange at international level. INTERPOL The Hague is part of the Central Intelligence Division.
Regional Units
Headed by a Chief Constable, each of the 10 regional units is responsible for police activities in that region. Each unit includes:
- Regional Operations Division: the link between the regional police organization and the activities of the police on the ground;
- Regional Criminal Investigations Division: investigation of criminal groups and serious crime;
- Regional Intelligence Division: provides the Regional Unit with up-to-date information in the form of threat assessments and advice;
- Regional Operational Cooperation Division: conflict and crisis management, this division also functions as a service centre for calls from the public.
Each regional unit is geographically sub-divided into a number of police districts made up of precincts, referred to as 'Robust Frontline Teams', which serve the municipality or several small municipalities. The districts are the link between the regional level of the unit and the local level at which the frontline teams operate. All districts have a Criminal Investigations Team, an Intelligence Centre and a Flex Team. District Flex Teams can provide temporary additional human resources to help frontline teams address specific events. Their core task is to support problem-driven responses, both in public order and in criminal investigation.
Independent law enforcement bodies
In addition to the National Police, other independent national law enforcement bodies include:
- The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee;
- Customs;
- The Fiscal Information and Investigation Service;
- The Social Intelligence and Investigation Service;
- Intelligence and Investigation Service of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate;
- Intelligence and Investigation Service of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority .
INTERPOL The Hague
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for The Netherlands works with all INTERPOL member countries, linking their investigations to Dutch law enforcement bodies and the public prosecution services. It helps INTERPOL NCBs worldwide to carry out investigations involving The Netherlands or Dutch nationals abroad.
The NCB, called the INTERPOL Desk as part of the Central Intelligence Division, operates as the national point of contact for domestic law enforcement agencies requiring help in international investigations.
It is made up of 12 people whose task is the swift and efficient exchange of sensitive information within the INTERPOL community, using INTERPOL's secure global police network, I-24/7.

Recently, my aunt sent me a picture of a pretty lady that was obviously taken a long time ago. It was one of those "You won't believe who this is," or "Guess who this is" kinds of messages.
I didn't know. I could only tell the picture was taken a long time ago. The lady looked like she was a movie star and she didn't look like she had enough clothes on for the time period. She was wearing some sort of polka dotted two-piece thing.
Times have changed, people wear next to nothing on television and sometimes they wear nothing.
The message noted that the beautiful lady in the black & white photograph was "Frances Bavier." If you don't know who that is – shame on you. Frances Bavier was "Aunt Bee" on The Andy Griffith Show.
Tracing down the picture and finding it out it was a hoax, the lady in the picture was actually Gloria DeHaven. She was a beautiful lady and famous for her work in the theatre, movies and television. Later in her career, she made guest appearances on The Love Boat, Murder She Wrote and Marcus Welby, M.D.
If she was on The Love Boat, she had to be a big deal, but she was not Aunt Bee.
The picture of Gloria DeHaven was from a publicity shoot she was doing for a movie in 1949.
Do you know how old Aunt Bee was in 1949?
She was 47.
Times have changed, but the body in the picture didn't belong to a 47-year-old woman.
Frances Bavier/Aunt Bee was born in 1902 and passed away eight days before her 87th birthday in 1989.
Regardless of the time, we don't need Aunt Bee pictures in polka dotted bathing suits with her leg stretched out like a hot wheels track.
We simply need her to be – Aunt Bee.
We all have our favorite episodes of The Andy Griffith Show featuring Aunt Bee, none of which had anything to do with her looking like a pin up model on the wall of an army barracks.
My personal favorites are the episodes involving Aunt Bee's Pickles (that smelled like kerosene), her falling for the good-for-nothing traveling salesman (who was Uncle Joe on Petticoat Junction) and the one where she gets all liquored up drinking the 170-proof miracle elixir of a snake oil selling medicine man.
Enough is enough…
Aunt Bee was what she was and it was good enough to be the best in my opinion. She (Frances Bavier) has been dead for almost 25 years.
I can't eat a pickle without thinking about her, that's the way I want it.
The life of Frances Bavier, what's known about it, is actually very interesting.
Aunt Bee/Ms. Bavier was from New York City and went to school at Columbia University to be a school teacher. That does seem fitting. She would have been at Columbia from around 1920 to 1924.
If you're a baseball fan, you know the name of Lou Gehrig, one of the greatest baseball players ever. Gehrig was actually playing baseball for Columbia during that same time frame (1922-23).
I wonder if Aunt Bee watched "Columbia Lou" play?
As most folks know, Lou Gehrig died too young at age 37 due to ALS, a disorder now commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's disease." Before being disabled by the fatal neuromuscular disease, Gehrig set a record of playing in 2,130 consecutive games for the New York Yankees. It wasn't until 56 years later in 1995 that Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles would finally break the record.
Aunt Bee, who was born in New York City and made famous by the fictitious town of Mayberry, North Carolina and The Andy Griffith Show spent her last years in Siler City, North Carolina. You've probably heard the city's name on the show; she just fell in love with the town and decided to retire there.
Her house was about 9,000 square feet; she lived alone. She was never married. It doesn't matter.
Aunt Bee had suffered a couple of heart attacks and fought cancer. They say most of her time was spent in a large back room of the house that had only a bed, a desk, a television and a small end table. She rarely left her home.
In addition to being a recluse, one would imagine she was somewhat frugal. After she died, the folks who went in her home were surprised to see the way she was living.
Noting that she "lived alone" is not necessarily true; 14 cats inhabited the house with her toward the end of her life. Folks say the smell was close to unbearable because she literally gave them (the cats) the basement bathtub as a litter box. The condition of her house was not good; the plaster was peeling, the carpets were badly frayed and the upholstery was worn out.
There was a 1966 Studebaker (she was very fond of) in the garage with four flat tires.
She was an older lady, in poor health; I understand.
I don't need the bathing suit picture and the fact that her house was not what you would expect from Aunt Bee, just doesn't matter.
The pickles matter.
Ernest T. Bass and Aunt Bee didn't along very well in real life. As a matter fact, they say not many people got along well with Aunt Bee. As most folks know, Ernest T. Bass or Howard Morris (his real name) actually was a director for a number of episodes of the show.
On one occasion, Mr. Morris was moving folks around on the set of the show and asked/told Ms. Bavier, "Frances? I'd like you to move over here."
Aunt Bee went a little crazy and started ranting, "Nobody will `move' me! I am not a sofa! I am not a dining room table! How dare you?"
They say Mr. Morris/Earnest T. Bass wanted to hit her; I'm glad a rock wasn't around. You know how Earnest T. Bass liked throwing rocks and breaking things.
Again, I don't need the bathing suit picture to be real and the peeling plaster, stinky cats and fighting with Earnest T. Bass don't really matter.
The pickles matter.
The Aunt Bee I will continue to see on reruns taking care of Andy and Opie, making bad pickles and playing the piano under the influence of "hard" miracle elixir – those things matter.
Let all of us just love her as we know her.

What is it?
It's the Radical RXC, a Radical with a roof! But don't go thinking that the British sports car manufacturer - more normally associated with building ultra-successful racing cars - has gone soft. The RXC is still one of the most hardcore - and fastest - road cars on sale.

Many careers in law are highly competitive and require advanced qualifications. The vast majority of professionals in the field are solicitors, and during the early stages of a career, solicitors are traditionally required to work long, antisocial hours. Overall, there are about 200,000 people employed in legal professions within the UK, making it a relatively small sector, which accounts for less than 1% of the total workforce.
About 45% of all solicitors currently work in London, but there are nonetheless employment opportunities in every region of the UK. London is also the most highly compensated region in the nation, and pays nearly 30% more than many surrounding areas. Common positions listed by recruitment agencies include paralegal, legal secretary, and solicitor. The lowest earners in the legal profession make between £15,000 and £20,000 annually, while the highest salaries for senior solicitors and partners can exceed £40-£50K. Overall, the average income is about £25K. Despite the fact that many in the sector are employed in small firms, the largest employers in the UK are Allen & Overy, Linklaters, Clifford Chance, and Slaughter & May. Law is also an area with many opportunities for self-employment for experienced professionals.

A local company who applied for a technology contract with the Okaloosa County School District will appeal a recommendation to use another company.
Officials with Edcovation LLC in Valparaiso filed the letter of intent to protest Friday morning, one day after learning that a five-member committee intends to tell the School Board to continue its contract with L3 NSS Inc., STRATIS, according to Bob Schmidt, vice president of one of the three companies that makes up Edcovation.
"We are technically qualified to do this job for $10 million less," Schmidt said.
In the request for proposals, the school district was looking for a "seat management" company to oversee technology. Under seat management, an outside firm leases and manages technological equipment and hardware for the district.
L3 has held the contract since the district began using the seat management approach in 2003.
On the rankings sheet released after the companies' presentations Wednesday, Edcovation earned fewer points than L3.
If Edcovation won the job, the annual cost for the school district would be $1 million less than L3 and $10 million less over the possible 10-year contract, Schmidt said.
"I don't see how you can tell the taxpayers in this county that we can do the job, but we're going to pay $10 million more for it," he said.
Edvocation, which was formed at the beginning of October, is made up of Valparaiso-based Control System Research, an information technology company with Department of Defense contracts; Hixart, which holds seat management contracts with other school districts; and Copper River, an Alabama-based company with all the necessary certifications and hardware background.
If Edvocation won the contract, 90 percent of the people who would work for the school district would live in Okaloosa County, including Schmidt and his boss.
L3 Communications is a national company with a number of high-profile government technology contracts.
The director of purchasing for Okaloosa County schools was unavailable Friday, but a member of his staff said because this was a request for proposals rather than a bid for purchasing, costs weren't weighed in the recommendation.
Schmidt said Edcovation will file its protest within the required 10 days. Representatives also plan to attend a School Board workshop next week to try to find out why they were ranked lower than L3.
"I think maybe their hesitation was that they didn't understand the (joint-venture) arrangement," Schmidt said.

BONIFAY — Council members Richard Woodham and Roger Brooks ran unopposed for their seats at this year's Bonifay City Council elections and were sworn in during the council's March 26 meeting.
Woodham said that he was looking forward to another two years and hoped to keep up the momentum as city projects continue on.
"I look forward to continue serving the residents of Bonifay to the best of my ability," said Brooks.
Mayor Lawrence Cloud appointed Micah McCormick to be vice mayor once again.
Jim Hall was announced to be the city's code enforcement officer.
Police Chief Chris Wells explained that Hall was well-experienced officer, who is currently in employment to take on the additional task in code enforcement.
"There is going to be a little expense at first as we print off citations," said Wells.
City Clerk Jeri Gibson requested an update on renaming Eastside Park in honor of Etta Mae "White" Hudson.
Cloud explained that they were looking to the family for a fitting name for the park, such as Etta Hudson Memorial Park or Etta White Hudson Park.
The next scheduled meeting is set for 6 p.m. on April 8 at the Bonifay City Hall.

Eisenhower Medical Center's Origional Visionary
Mrs. Hope's long and rich history with Eisenhower Medical Center began in 1966, when she and Bob Hope generously donated the original 80 acres of land that is now the main campus for Eisenhower Medical Center. Bob Hope was asked to lend his name to the Desert Classic Golf Tournament (now the Humana Challenge). He thought his wife would be the perfect choice to serve on its board. And she was. "The hospital built by a golf tournament," became a reality thanks to Mrs. Hope's enthusiastic and energetic spirit and deeds.
In 1969, Mrs. Hope gathered a small group of women at her home for tea to found the Eisenhower Auxiliary. She encouraged each of them to bring friends into the fold. Today, the Eisenhower Auxiliary boasts more than 1,400 members and 780 active volunteers and is one of the most successful volunteer organizations of its kind in the world.
Many of Eisenhower's achievements over the past 40 years are due directly to her tireless efforts on its behalf. Eisenhower Medical Center is eternally grateful for Dolores Hope, for all she gave to our community and for her vision of establishing one of the finest medical centers in the nation.
