- INTERPOL The Hague
Member since :
7 September 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.

A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset AllocationMebane T. FaberCambria Investment Management February 1, 2013 The Journal of Wealth Management, Spring 2007 Abstract: In this paper we update our 2006 white paper "A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation" with new data from the 2008-2012 period. How well did the purpose of the original paper – to present a simple quantitative method that improves the risk-adjusted returns across various asset classes – hold up since publication? Overall, we find that the models have performed well in real-time, achieving equity like returns with bond like volatility and drawdowns. We also examine the effects of departures from the original system including adding more asset classes, introducing various portfolio allocations, and implementing alternative cash management strategies.

CSEH promotes the production of highly competitive graduates as judged by the highest academic standards in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and health.
On Saturday, Feb. 21, the University of West Florida hosted students from Northwest Florida's public and private schools in the Florida Panhandle at the fourth annual Northwest Regional Florida Science Olympiad. The event was held at the UWF College of Science, Engineering and Health.
Florida Science Olympiad is an official state chapter of Science Olympiad, Inc. The goal of Science Olympiad is to improve the quality of science education through competitions similar to sporting events. Just as students are motivated to compete in various sporting activities, students compete as a team against other schools in 23 different events that range the spectrum of science subjects.
This year, 21 groups of students competed with up to 15 students on each team. High school (Division C) and middle school (Division B) students competed in the divisional events with 11 events in Division B and 10 events in Division C. Awards were given to the top three teams per division and top three teams who scored the most points in the entire competition.
The Olympiad is the only science competition listed in the national standards as an exemplary implementation of inquiry and assessment.
University of West Florida faculty and staff members served as event supervisors and helped develop, run and score the events for the competition. Many of the faculty elicited the help of undergraduate & graduate students, along with other faculty members from their departments, to assist with the event. Several other faculty members, staff and students helped to serve as score counselors for the competition.

D-backs look to get back on track behind Cahill
Vogelsong looks to build on brilliant start last time out
With 29 games left in the regular season, the D-backs are fully aware of just how important every contest is if they hope to keep playing into October.
Arizona's aspirations took a blow on Friday night with a 1-0 loss to the Giants to remain six games back of the Reds for the second National League Wild Card spot.
The D-backs will look to regroup and get back on track Saturday as they face the Giants at Chase Field.
Trevor Cahill gets the nod for Arizona and has been much better since his return from the disabled list earlier this month. Especially brilliant in his last two outings, the right-hander has allowed just one run in 11 innings.
That last outing came in a 18-inning contest between the D-backs and Phillies last Saturday, in which Cahill tossed four innings in relief for the win.
"Even when I was down there, I was like, there was still no way. Then they said, '[Brad] Ziegler has one more [inning],' and I was like, 'Oh, gosh.' So, I jumped on the bike and put heat on my arm and stretched out," Cahill said after the game. "I definitely had enough time. I usually watch some video and try to eat a balanced meal, but I think they were in a little more of a rush than that."
Meanwhile, Ryan Vogelsong will be on the hill for the Giants. He's been spectacular in his last two starts and has yet to lose since coming off the disabled list in early August.
Vogelsong tossed eight scoreless innings in his last outing against the Pirates, which matched a career high. He allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out five for his third win.
"He really put on a show in the art of pitching," manager Bruce Bochy said of Vogelsong after the game. "That's one of the best-pitched games we've had this year."
In 14 career games (eight starts) against the D-backs, Vogelsong is 2-3 with a 4.22 ERA. In one start against Arizona this season, he allowed four runs on seven hits in seven innings for a no-decision.
Giants: Pagan activated
Outfielder Angel Pagan rejoined the Giants two days ahead of schedule on Friday, feeling confident he'd healed enough from a left hamstring surgery.
Bochy inserted Pagan into center field and in the leadoff spot for the series opener against the D-backs. He finished the game going 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the first inning.
"Right now, I want to say I feel 90-95 percent," said Pagan, 32. "But there's no way I can feel 100 percent this fast. This is part of the rehabilitation. But I feel great to play and to be the same player that I was before I got hurt."
D-backs: Kubel sent to Indians
The Indians and D-backs agreed to a deal on Friday that sent Jason Kubel to Cleveland in exchange for a player to be named later or cash.
Kubel was designated for assignment by the D-backs on Tuesday when the team needed to clear a spot on the 25-man roster for left-hander David Holmberg, who was called up from Double-A to start that night.
Kubel, 31, is in the final year of a two-year, $16 million contract and is making $7.5 million in 2013. There is a mutual option for $7.5 million for '14, which includes a $1 million buyout. The Indians will receive cash from the D-backs to offset the remaining salary and likely buyout.
Worth noting
• The Giants made a minor adjustment to the sequence of their starting rotation, announcing Friday that right-hander Yusmeiro Petit will pitch Sunday against Arizona, followed by left-hander Barry Zito on Monday at San Diego.
• The Giants have won 15 of their last 19 games in which they have scored at least four runs.
• The D-backs have won five of their last seven home games and are 11-8 at Chase Field since the All-Star break.

Caltrans ready to begin bridge replacement with stimulus money
Joshua Sebold Staff Writer 1/20/2010
One of the largest examples of stimulus funds making it into Plumas County is about to get underway as Caltrans will begin advertising a construction project estimated to cost around $22 million in mid-February.
Caltrans received $28 million in stimulus funding to replace the Spanish Creek Bridge, which is nearing the end of its service life.
That funding will cover the project itself and any administrative overhead.
Caltrans Project Manager Eric Orr said the public will begin to see work on the project in February when tree and vegetation removal will begin.
The construction project will be awarded in April, with work on the bridge likely to begin in June.
Orr explained that drops in construction prices have caused the Caltrans estimate for the project to plummet from $36 million to the current guess of around $22 million.
He predicted the project would be the largest Caltrans operation in Plumas County for at least the next five years.
The project manager said the Spanish Creek Campground would be closed for the entire three-year project length for safety reasons, as the work site will be accessed through the campground.
He added that traffic would be impacted throughout the process from time to time, but drivers would not have to deal with daily delays over the entire three years.
Orr said the new bridge would be about 40 feet downstream from the old one, with the older structure remaining operational until after the project was completed to cut down on traffic impacts.
He said the old bridge would be removed at that time, after the county museum had an opportunity to record and archive historical information about it.
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors discussed the project at a Tuesday, Jan. 12, meeting where Supervisor Robert Meacher explained contractors bidding on the project would have to attend a meeting with local subcontractors and Caltrans, which he hoped would lead to local companies being involved in the project.
Orr confirmed Caltrans was "trying to encourage the prime bidders to use small local contractors through this process."
Orr also confirmed that the old bridge was the last one in the Canyon that stopped trucks with "extra legal permit loads in terms of weight" from traveling that route.
He said that change could be useful for the railroad and would give companies more options when Highways 50 and 80 were closed, although he clarified he didn't anticipate an increase in traffic that would be noticeable to people who frequently drive the Canyon.
Meacher told his fellow supervisors the ability for more trucks to use that route would "actually bring more commerce through."
Readers with questions for Orr may contact him at (530) 225-3439.

What do climbers fear more than heights or falls? Injuries. Especially the type that won't go away. Many climbers wonder what else they can do to expedite the healing process. They try rest and rehabilitation but very few consider diet. However, food plays a powerful role in the healing process. What you consume can either expedite healing or prolong injury.

Intro to home theater speakers
How to build a well-matched surround sound system
Julie Govan is the Brand Manager at Crutchfield, and has been writing about consumer electronics since 1999. Her areas of expertise include home theater, surround sound, digital cameras, and HDTV. In her spare time, she also writes book reviews and fiction. She earned a B.A. in English from Davidson College, and went on to receive a master's degree in English literature from the University of Virginia.
More from Julie Govan
To enjoy the surround sound experience of a movie theater in your home, you'll need a home theater receiver and at least six speakers (including a powered subwoofer).
In this article, we'll give you some rules of thumb on how to assemble a well-matched surround speaker system. Tip #1: It's OK to break the rules. If the ideal solution for sound quality doesn't suit your décor, no problem. Some situations call for creative compromises.
Pre-matched surround sound speaker systems include 5 or more speakers, and some also include a subwoofer.
Want to keep it simple?
Consider a pre-matched surround speaker system. Even if you ultimately decide to buy your speakers a la carte, reading the descriptions of matched systems is a good place to start.
Want to do it your way?
If you'd rather mix and match, you'll need to shop for the following:
- A center channel speaker that sits below or above your TV.
- Front left and right speakers that flank your TV. Most people choose either bookshelf or floor-standing speakers for their main front speakers.
- Two or more surround speakers that go behind and/or beside your seating area. Most people use bookshelf speakers or specialized bipolar speakers for their surrounds.
- One or two powered subwoofers.
- If you have a receiver that can power front height or width channels, you might want to add one more pair of speakers to your shopping list.
- If your receiver offers Dolby Atmos® surround sound processing, you'll want to include one or two pairs of in-ceiling or specialized Dolby Atmos enabled speakers for overhead surround effects to complete your system.
For a cleaner-looking installation, consider in-wall speakers, in-ceiling speakers, or custom flat-panel speakers that integrate with your TV set. Check out our article about in-wall and in-ceiling speaker installation to learn more about what's involved.
Need help deciding? Give us a call. One of our expert advisors can help you sort it all out.
Small, unobtrusive speakers can practically disappear into your room. Here, they're mounted on the walls to the left and right of the TV. Since they're white, they blend right in.
Matching the system to your room, your TV, and your viewing habits
Where will your speaker system go? In a family room on the main floor? Or in a basement bunker that's far removed from bedrooms and other quiet spaces?
For multi-purpose spaces, where the TV and surround sound system won't always be the main event, think small. Small speakers can blend more easily into your décor and stay out of the way, leaving you more space for other activities. For example, if you plan on using your family room for movie night once or twice a week, and otherwise mostly use it for socializing, helping with homework, and other non-TV activities, you'd probably be quite happy with a smaller speaker system.
On the other hand, if you'd like to use your TV and surround sound system more extensively, you should consider larger speakers, especially if it'll be in a medium-to-large sized room. For example, if you want to add a theater-like quality to your nightly prime-time TV viewing, you'll probably enjoy some high-quality speakers that can really fill your room with sound.
Consider the layout and shape of your room, because where you position each speaker might affect the size or type of speakers you choose. Once you have a good idea of where the speakers should be placed for good surround sound, think about how they will look and whether they might get in the way of foot traffic.
You can learn where speakers should go by watching our video on speaker placement, or find more detailed guidelines in our speaker placement article. For some creative solutions, check out our articles on room-friendly ways to add surround speakers and practically invisible speaker options.
You can take some liberties with the speaker placement guidelines, but only up to a point. For example, you really shouldn't try to hide speakers behind furniture or other such obstacles to proper sound dispersion. Nor should you place your front left and right speakers too far away from your TV screen, because the soundscape will seem unnaturally wide. Instead of pulling you into the story, the sound will draw attention to itself and disconnect you from the on-screen action.
When home theater speakers are properly placed, they work together to create engaging, 360-degree effects. A: center channel speaker. B: subwoofer. C: front right and left. D: surround speakers.
Pair a large TV with larger speakers for high-impact, room-filling sound that complements your TV's picture.
Big TV? Get big speakers, too
A large TV (say 55 inches or more) pairs best with a speaker system that can create a big soundscape. In general, we suggest leaning toward large floor-standing or bookshelf speakers up front. Some higher-end smaller speakers that can handle more power may also be a good match. On the other hand, if you have a 40-inch TV, a modest subwoofer/satellite system is all you really need.
Is it OK to mix brands?
Purists may cry foul, but there are some situations in which it makes sense to mix brands. Say you already own some stereo speakers. You'd like to use them in your home theater system, but you can't find center or surround speakers to match. Or perhaps the only center channel speaker that will fit your cabinet isn't from the brand you prefer for your front left and right speakers. Go ahead and mix.
If no such mitigating factors apply, you're better off with "voice-matched" speakers, all of the same brand (and the same "family" or "series" within the brand). You'll get a consistent tonal quality and seamless transitions as the sound travels from speaker to speaker.
Know your speakers
Each speaker has a distinctive role to play in your surround sound system. Understanding what each speaker does will help you shop smarter.
Center channel speaker
When you watch a movie, the center channel delivers more than 50% of the soundtrack, including almost all of the dialogue. Since its purpose is to keep sound anchored to the on-screen action, a good center channel speaker is crucial for a well-balanced home theater system. Don't skimp on the center speaker. [Shop for center channel speakers.]
The center channel lives just above or below your television, which keeps dialogue anchored to your TV screen.
The center speaker typically sits just below your TV, so make sure your center channel is an appropriate size for the intended placement. If you have a wall-mounted flat-panel TV, and you won't have a stand on which to place your center channel speaker, consider a wall-mountable or in-wall center channel speaker.
When choosing a center channel speaker, consider the other speakers in your system and the size of your television set. Compact subwoofer/satellite systems usually use smaller center channel speakers, and these interact just fine with the smaller mains and surrounds. Tower speakers require a larger center channel model to maintain a balanced and seamless surround effect.
Front left and right speakers
In home theater, the front left and right speakers provide a wide soundstage that blends with the video to create a more realistic and exciting movie experience. In addition to reproducing the musical score, front speakers handle the bulk of the special effects, which move back and forth between the two speakers in sync with the images on the screen.
Front speakers also broaden the soundstage by reproducing the sound of things that are happening off-camera, such as a car or missile that's approaching, but hasn't yet come into view.
The front speakers are important for music listening, too. They do all the work when it comes to stereo music reproduction.
Floor-standing speakers, bookshelf speakers, and satellite speakers all work fine as front left and right speakers. Floor-standing speakers have the most impact and provide great low-frequency response. Bookshelf speakers don't reproduce as much bass and may need a subwoofer, but they're smaller and easier to move.
Compact wall-mountable satellite speakers must be teamed with a subwoofer, but they're ideal if you want big sound from a small package. Bookshelf and satellite speakers can be placed on shelves or tables, and they can often be mounted on stands or walls.
Surround speakers
Consider mounting surround speakers to your wall or ceiling. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers may also be a good option.
Surround speakers produce atmospheric, ambient sounds — such as rain drops, the rustling of leaves, or footsteps crunching on gravel. They also work with your other speakers to deliver spectacular directional effects, like a locomotive rushing by, or a bullet zinging past. They help put you smack dab in the center of the action. [Shop for surround speakers.]
Although a 5.1-channel surround system, with only one pair of surround speakers, is the most common setup, most newer home theater receivers can power more than a single pair of surround speakers. If you've got a larger home theater room, you may buy one or two additional speakers to use as "back surrounds" in a 6.1- or 7.1-channel system.
And, if your receiver can decode Dolby Atmos surround sound, you'll need an extra pair or two of speakers to create a three-dimensional layer of sound above your listening position.You can use either in-ceiling speakers, or Dolby Atmos enabled speakers designed to fire sound upward, where it reflects off the ceiling to deliver special effects overhead.

Correct surround speaker placement results in a very realistic three-dimensional soundfield; incorrect surround speaker placement or poor calibration can leave people asking, "Are our surrounds even on?" Look for surround speakers that you can easily angle towards your listening area. Pivoting mounting brackets and speaker stands can really help.
Bipolar speakers use multiple drivers to disperse sound throughout the room. Pictured: Definitive Technology SR-8040BP.
Check our speaker placement guide or video and consider where you'll put your surrounds and whether they'll need to be stand-mounted, wall-mounted, or even in-wall or in-ceiling models.
Ideally, your surround speakers should have the same performance capability as your front left and right speakers, but that's not always realistic when you consider room size and space. Most people use either bookshelf or satellite speakers for their surrounds. Both bookshelf and satellite speakers may require stand placement or wall mounting.
For a wider soundfield and greater speaker placement flexibility, consider bipole/dipole speakers. These models take advantage of reflected sound to create more realistic surround effects. Some higher-end surround speakers offer a dipole/bipole switch (sometimes referred to as a "Solid/Diffuse" switch). These speakers feature two high-frequency drivers that either fire in phase (bipole) or out of phase (dipole).
Powered subwoofer
If you're assembling a home theater, plan on including at least one powered subwoofer. Many TV show, movie, and video game soundtracks provide a dedicated channel of deep bass (sometimes known as low frequency effects, or LFE). This bass is what makes the entire soundtrack feel larger, fuller, and more lifelike — it gives special effects like thunder or explosions their window-rattling punch.
The subwoofer provides deep, dramatic bass -- a necessity for high-impact home theater sound
A subwoofer is also a wonderful way to enrich music listening — it can round out all types of music, from classical to jazz to rock to R&B. Since most speakers can't deliver that level of bass on their own, a subwoofer is needed to ensure that your home theater system delivers crucial low-frequency impact. [Shop for powered subwoofers.]
Low-frequency sound waves are omni-directional, so you have a great deal of flexibility when it comes to subwoofer placement. If you have a spot in your room picked out, consider the dimensions of the sub's cabinet to make sure it will fit. And remember that placing your sub near a wall or in a corner can increase bass impact noticeably. Though for tighter, more precise bass, you'll want to move it a few inches away from the wall or corner.
To achieve consistent bass coverage throughout your listening area, experiment with different subwoofer locations, and choose the location that sounds best to you. Adding a second subwoofer is another great way to ensure smooth, even coverage.
As a general rule, the larger the driver, the deeper the bass — so go for a sub with a 10" or 12" woofer cone if you need to fill a large room. However, there are a number of compact and even ultra-compact subwoofers out there that offer multiple drivers and ported enclosures to produce surprisingly big bass. Compact subs are also a great option if you don't have a lot of room for a sub, or if you want it to be as unobtrusive as possible.
If you have a large room (or if you just crave serious bass impact) then you should look for a sub with more watts in the built-in amplifier. Other convenient features include remotes that allow you to control the sub from your seat, and pre-set modes that change depending on what you're watching or listening to. You can find out more in our article on choosing a subwoofer.

The 158th Meeting of Noisebridge
Note-taker: Seth
Moderator: Danny
Introduction and Names
- What Noisebridge is about: "Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."
- Round of introductions: What's your name, what do you do, and if you are new, how did you hear about Noisebridge? Start with the moderator and go left.
- A brief primer on consensus process: We agree and so should you! Only paid-up members can block consensus.
- BAHA - will be hosting Dan Kaminsky for a talk about something or other. Stay tuned for your opportunity to hear this talk.
- BayCon - Noisebridge is the official charity beneficiary for BayCon, a 2000-attendee science fiction convention that happens in Santa Clara every year. We need some things to donate for the charity auction and could use at least one volunteer and maybe two to help us staff our Noisebridge booth there. We have less space at BayCon than we do at our Maker Faire booth. Dr. Jesus is coordinating our participation in BayCon, so please talk to him.
Q. What items should we donate for the charity auction?
A. Hilarious and/or shiny ones.
Q. Like items on the hack shelf?
A. More hilarious and shiny than those, if possible.
Q. When?
A. May 27-30.
Q. Maybe Dan Kaminsky could donate something? Like a signed item?
A. People at BayCon may not know who Dan Kaminsky is.
A. Or they might!
OpenAMD is doing RFID tracking of attendees at CCC. Talk to aestetix or visit openamd.org.
Financial Report
Funds in bank: $1,000 in corporate donations have come in recently! They will get deposited.
We have $13,080.16 in the bank after paying rent and before depositing the corporate donations. Pay your dues.
If possible, set up a regular recurring donation.
Q. Can we donate Bitcoins to Noisebridge?
Membership Binder
- Read off any names from the binder for the past month.
- Anyone up for join this week should introduce themselves then leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime) for the rest of the group. The rest of the meeting should consense on whether they may join.
What's Going On at Noisebridge
Vegan pierogi and Snickers bars are being made in the kitchen right now!
Project Updates
Moving hack shelves away so that all shelving in the member shelving corner is member shelving. This requires about $300-$400 for new, additional shelves. Talk to Miloh. We might get more members if we had some member shelving space open for new members to enjoy!
Q. Have you mailed the list?
A. Please write to Miloh about this.
Q. We previously proposed using Noisebridge funds to pay for this. Shouldn't this become a consensus item? Wasn't it supposed to be a consensus item already?
A. The problem was that nobody who was a member attended except Kelly during the meeting where the consensus item should have been consensed upon. So it got dropped as a consensus item.
- Shannon was reluctant to use Noisebridge money for capital improvements rather than required expenses. However, people could realize a tax benefit if they donated money to Noisebridge for this purpose.
- However, you can realize a tax benefit for in-kind donations. If you donate something of value to Noisebridge, you can receive a receipt from Noisebridge for this item, by contacting the treasurer. Then, if applicable to your situation, you can claim this as a donation on your tax return.
- We will propose a consensus item for next week for appropriating a proportion of the money needed for this.
Consensus items
For next week: Noisebridge to pay Miloh for shelves in an amount to cover whatever part of the expenditure that Shannon does not raise via his fundraising efforts (somewhere between $0 and $300).
Discussion Items
Events list
Isn't it somewhat difficult to determine what's going on here?
E.g., some meetups don't actually occur but they are still listed on the web site.
When people create meetups and events, they list them, but when they stop doing them, they don't remove them.
If you show up to something that doesn't happen, maybe you should remove it from the list on the web site.
Someone was trying to make the wiki automatically incorporate the items from the homepage into the meeting template so the events discussed in the meeting would actually be current (according to the website). However, maybe we also need a mechanism for people to actually try to attend an event to see if it's going on.
Maybe events should have contact names associated with them so that there is a way to contact someone to find out about the status of the event.
Cool, the wiki does pull the current item list from the home page. So one mechanism is that if nobody ever comes to a meeting with personal knowledge that something is still going on, we can remove it.
Instead of a name, we should perhaps have a contact e-mail address. And every group that meets here should have a wiki page on our wiki and an e-mail address that's listed on it.
However, maybe some people who host groups don't know how to edit the wiki. But some people think this is very easy and they should probably learn.
A particular change that we can try to make is to have a more detailed dialogue with people who come to weekly meetings wanting to use the space for an event. In particular, we can try to start enforcing a norm that when you come to a meeting wanting to use the space, you should actually take responsibility for documenting your event via a wiki page! There is sentiment in favor of this norm. It doesn't seem very hard and it seems like we could easily institute this norm and get benefits from it.
We can also print the events page out on paper.
If people want to use the space to host events, they should try to be in touch with the community to a sufficient extent that their events can be documented on our wiki accurately.
One idea is that the secretary should actively maintain the event list. People like this idea.
Is there a joke here?
I'm a frayed not.
Banning discussion
Some time ago, we banned someone for the first time. We didn't have a formal process or precedent in place for this. This was a difficult process to go through. At the meeting where the ban was consensed upon, it was tense and it would have been difficult for someone to stand up in defense of the person being banned.
Perhaps we should talk about how we should do this in the future if it should seem necessary, to have a better process available for it.
At that time, Kelly had volunteered to lead a meeting or discussion about this issue. She talked to various people who had qualms with what happened and some of them were interested in talking about how to handle it in the future.
Q. What were people's qualms about what happened?
A. By the end of the process, there was only one person with major qualms, who refused to read the evidence. The other people who had major qualms read the evidence and then felt agreement with the consensus. There were many people who felt that it was poorly managed but was ultimately the correct decision; however, this could still be described as having major qualms with the process even though they came to agree with the decision.
- Indeed, many people were concerned with the process even though they agreed with the eventual decision. Some of these people felt that it was uncomfortable because they were strongly criticized for raising process concerns. They would like to be able to raise process concerns and other concerns without being attacked because they felt that these concerns were legitimate and should have been able to be aired.
- There is a recognized group phenomenon of "mobbing" where a group turns against a particular person in various ways. This group dynamic has been studied and Noisebridge's actions can be interpreted as meeting criteria for this dynamic. That doesn't mean that our decision was wrong but some people would like to see a means of avoiding relying on or repeating this social dynamic.
- Perhaps we should talk about what we would like to see in a process to use in the future.
- In fact, there have been four cases before this one where there were attempts to ban or exclude people from Noisebridge and in all four of those prior cases, someone stood up in defense of that person and the person was not banned.
- We make a point of being radically inclusive, so we generally feel quite reluctant to ban or exclude people.
- Maybe one concern is that there was nobody speaking on behalf of the person who was going to be banned. We already have an idea that if there's someone who wants to remain anonymous, someone can represent them at a meeting. Should we say that we should seek to have someone represent the person who might be banned?
- We should also have a way that people who may feel threatened to be able to see what the process is or how to bring something to the community's attention. Some people who felt threatened in the most recent incident didn't really know what they were supposed to do or how they were supposed to bring it to the attention of the community.
Q. If a group is already engaged in "mobbing", is there some way to mitigate or defuse that particular dynamic?
A. We don't know. In legal systems, that's part of what legal process is for. One of the reasons that we have process in court systems is to prevent people from being lynched.
End of Meeting
- PGP Key Signing could happen now, check the list to see who wants in on the action.
- Put back the membership binder by the Shrine.
- Save the meeting notes to the wiki.
- Send a copy of the meeting notes to the discussion list.
- Copy the Meeting Notes Template for next week's agenda and update the main wiki page's link to it.
- Enjoy a cocktail with your fellow hacker or robot.

Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0 Customer Reviews
Write a Review (based on 42 reviews)
By Daric Aldrich
Great Product -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0Neither my wife nor I have not shaved any time off our run times, but we definitely feel better after our runs. For that reason alone, these are worth it.
By Patt Litchfield
Honest review -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0After using these once I loved them. They feel like a hug-for your legs. First use, I noticed less fatigue even with longer runs. But because they are pricey I tried to find a less expensive compression sock- Waste of money! STICK WITH THESE. NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE!!!
By Sandy Matson
Saved me in Las Vegas -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I won a pair of these at the Rock n Roll in Las Vegas. I decided to go against the norm and try wearing them for the race as you shouldn't do anything new when at a race" is my usual motto. The 2012 race in Vegas was very windy and took more out of me than I expected and my legs kept going due to the amazing support of these socks. I was amazing how good my legs felt. Since that race I have run 3 other half marathons and will never run one without cep compression socks! I now incorporate them with my running attire :-) Ran Vegas with the neon night time; - wore them again for the New Years Los Angeles night time race; ran the Tinkerbell half with the green; and the Hollywood Half in California with red! Love them!"
By Jennifer Kelly
Amazing Product -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0Love these socks! I have Achilles and calf problems but have had no problems since I started using the socks. I would recommend to anyone. I plan on wearing these for training and racing.
By Jenna Monteleone
Worth Every Penny -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I love these socks!! I use them while at the hospital for nursing. Great buy!
By Patricia Peters
Running Compression Sock -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0Good quality, really helps prevent shin splints pain, would recommend to others. Only complaint is lack of color choices.
By Lori Aden
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I bought these compression socks for my son who is a sprinter on the high school track team. They are definitely well worth the investment!!! I will be purchasing additional socks. He said his legs feel great! They are a MUST HAVE - try them - you won't be sorry!
By Forrest Baugus
Worth the money!! -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I was a little skeptical when I was purchasing these socks but, now I am convinced they helped me with my recovery after runs. I experienced less soreness and tightness in my legs. On longer runs I have been wearing them during the run. I am satisfied enough that my next purchase will be some CEP compression shorts!
By Lynn Filipas
Changed my life! -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0When ordering a pair of custom stockings for a recently diagnosed circulation issue last September, the technician who fit me suggested I also try a pair of CEP running socks. I bought two pair as I was heading to Germany for vacation. What a surprise it was to see so many people at a marathon in Dresden wearing the exact stockings I was sporting! With consistent use, I found that the swelling in my ankles nearly disappeared and my legs weren't as tired as they had been. I was able to walk over ten miles a day on vacation and, when recently gearing up for another vacation, I bought an additional four pair. Now I'm planning a backpacking trip of nearly 500 miles. CEP socks really have changed my life!
By Kung-Hua Chang
Great product! -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I was skeptical too in the beginning. However, after I tried it during my training, I can feel the difference and I don't feel as tired as before. I also have another pair for recovery purposes and I can feel that I recover much faster with CEP compression socks!!

The Supreme Court 2010 Term - Foreword: Neutral Principles, Motivated Cognition, and Some Problems for Constitutional LawDan M. KahanYale University - Law School; Harvard University - Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics August 15, 2011 Harvard Law Review, Vol. 125, November 2011 Yale Law School, Public Law Working Paper No. 231 Abstract: Why is the 'neutrality' of Supreme Court decisionmaking a matter of persistent political disagreement? What should be done to mitigate such conflict? Once the predominant focus of constitutional law scholarship, efforts to answer these questions are now widely viewed as evincing misunderstandings of what can be coherently demanded of theory and realistically expected of judges. This paper attributes the Court's 'neutrality crisis' to a very different form of misunderstanding. The study of motivated reasoning (in particular cultural cognition) shows that individuals are predisposed to fit their perceptions of policy-relevant facts to their group commitments. In the course of public deliberations, these facts become suffused with antagonistic meanings that transform utilitarian policymaking into occasions for symbolic status competition. These same dynamics, the paper argues, make constitutional decisionmaking the focus of status competition among groups whose members are unconsciously motivated to fit perceptions of the Court's decisions to their values. Theories of constitutional neutrality do not address the distinctive cognitive groundings of this form of illiberal conflict; indeed, they make it worse by promoting idioms of justification, in Court opinions and public discourse generally, that reinforce the predisposition of diverse groups to attribute culturally partisan aims to those who disagree with them. The divisive effects of motivated reasoning on policy deliberations can be offset by science communication techniques that avoid selectively threatening any group's cultural worldview. Similarly, public confidence in the Supreme Court's neutrality can be restored by the Court's communication of meanings that uniformly affirm the values of culturally diverse citizens.

The Malaysian futures journal myForesight has published a version of my LIFT 11 talk on contemplative computing. I've carved a copy of it out of the 20 MB issue, and posted a PDF of it here.
Contemplative computing may sound like an oxymoron, but it's really quite simple. It's about how to use information technologies and social media so they're not endlessly distracting and demanding, but instead help us be more mindful, focused and creative.
My book on contemplative computing, The Distraction Addiction, was published by Little, Brown and Co. in 2013, and is available in bookstores and online. This 2011 talk is a good introduction to the project and its big ideas.

I write about people, technology, and the worlds they make.
My book on contemplative computing, The Distraction Addiction, was published by Little, Brown and Company in 2013. (It's been translated into Dutch (as Verslaafd aan afleiding) and Spanish (as Enamorados de la Distracción); Russian, Chinese and Korean translations are in the works.)
I began thinking seriously about contemplative computing in the winter of 2011 while a Visiting Researcher in the Socio-Digital Systems Group at Microsoft Research, Cambridge.
My next book, Rest: Why Working Less Gets More Done, is under contract with Basic Books. Until it's out, you can follow my thinking about deliberate rest, creativity, and productivity on the project Web site.

Marriage-Hunting Apartments Feature A Stripper Pole In The Living Room
by Steve LevensteinJapanese women looking to impress potential husbands should bring them home... but not to just any home. Each "konkatsu" apartment features a stripper pole and a bathtub right in the living room. Now that's what I call living!
Quiet Expressions Double Breast Pump Gives Moms a Free Hand To Multitask In Silence
by Amber LeventryIf a new mom chooses to breastfeed, her life revolves around the milk factory living in her breasts. Nursing, pumping, storing, and coveting ounces of stored milk is all done for the sake of what some call liquid gold. Breastfeeding is a very personal choice, and if breastfeeding is the plan, most women also need a breast pump. The Quiet Expressions Double Breast Pump made by The First Years gives mom the ability to pump in discreet silence. It also allows them to multi-task.
Want To Un-Boil An Egg? Science Has Figured Out How
by Laurie Kay OlsonYou can't un-speak words and you can't un-ring a bell, but apparently you
can unboil an egg -- well, sort of. Chemists from the University of
California at Irvine and the University of Western Australia have found a way to return egg white proteins back
to their original form that only takes a few minutes. Okay, this isn't
something they were doing for fun just to prove that it can be done,
though that would totally rock. This new technique has the potential for
a wide range of applications from food production to cancer research.
Want A New Tent For Camping? How About A Doughnut?

Then tent is a collapsible tube that is known as The Camping Doughnut.

Forget The Swiss Army Knife And Wear Your Tools With The Leatherman Tread
by Samantha PankeyIt's always handy to have a multi-tool, like the Swiss Army Knife, around. However, most are bulky and have to be transported in a case or your pocket. The Leatherman Tread is the first of its kind--a multi-tool that can be worn on the wrist.
Want To Shrink Those Pores? Try A Nose Pore Blocker Hanabijin
by Laurie Kay OlsonMany people, mostly women, struggle to make sure that they have soft,
smooth, blemish-free skin on their faces. For some of us this goes way
beyond some Clearasil, the occasional facial mask, and a moisturizer
that could create a rainforest. Japan is sending us a new tool more
minimizing enlarged pores on the nose. It is a device called a Nose Pore
Blocker Hanabijin.
No More Pin Pricks: Temporary Stick-On Tattoo Monitors Blood Glucose Levels
by Paul FitzgeraldIf you are a diabetic, then you know all about pricking your fingers throughout the day in order to monitor your blood sugar. For nearly 390 million diabetics around the world, using needles to draw blood is downright annoying and invasive. Diabetics, doctors, and researchers alike have long been seeking alternative methods to monitoring glucose levels that are less painful than pricking.
Want A New Piano? Why Not Get A Space-Age One?
by Laurie Kay OlsonPianos . . . the final frontier . . . Okay, maybe not. But this piano is the newest and most major change since the instrument was first invented over 300 years ago. It is the Boganyi Piano or as some are calling it "the bat piano" since it looks like Batman would play it in the Bat Cave. Almost every one of the nearly 18,000 components has been rethought and redesigned for a "sound beyond time."
Is It A Bike? Is It A Boat? Nope, It's The X1 Water Bike

Make Bread With One Dish? Easy With All In One Lékué Bread Maker
by Laurie Kay OlsonBaking your own bread is an attractive proposition when you consider freshness, taste, the lack of additives, and reduced salt content. It is not so attractive when you consider the time and the mess involved. The Lékué Bread Maker is a simple-looking bowl that makes baking your own bread a whole lot easier and a lot less messy.

Alive Lure's Wings Buzz And Vibrate

Want To Cook Something New? How About Using A Condom?
by Laurie Kay OlsonNo, this isn't the beginning of some lame dirty joke. The condom cookbook is a real thing -- in Japan. The book is titled "Condom Meals I Want To Make For You." I hope that the title is catchier in Japanese. In English it just kind of lays there on the page. The ebook is filled with 11 supposedly delicious recipes that involve the use of a condom in the preparation. Fortunately it does not actually require the eating of the condom.

Women's Lanz Moonlight In Vermont Nightgown
Christmas outfit for mom!!
I bought this nightgown for my 97 year old mom (who lives with me) for Christmas. She wore it Christmas day and got lots of compliments on it. It was also a great conversation piece with the cows jumping over the moon.
The best thing about the gown is the heavy weight flannel. Cleveland gets pretty cold in the winter here!
I buy all of my mother's nightgowns from Vermont Country Store. They are very well made (Lanz!) and the products never disappoint. Mom also likes reading their catalog which carry many products from years gone by. Helps her memory too!!

My FAVORITE!!
My mom loves all of her Lanz flannel nightgowns (and believe me, she has MANY) but this particular one - the moonlight in Vermont style- is her absolute favorite. She says its warmer (thicker flannel) than the rest. We live in IL and certain winter nights are below zero so this is her go to on those nights.
January 4, 2015
The print is the cutest ever, with the cow jumping over the moon!
Best of all is its soft, warm flannel with pockets and the full length, which comes right to my ankles. (I am 5'2".) The ruffle at the bottom gives you a little more room to move your legs. The only thing I would change is the wrist size, which is very generous.

Lanz for Christmas
I buy one or more of these wonderful gowns for my daughter and my wife for Christmas every year. It's a tradition with my family. My girls love them. Thank you for stocking quality goods.
January 3, 2015
I love this print!
As with any Lanz product, the quality is very good! The only reason I didn't give this nightgown five stars is that the trim at the neckline is bothersome. I with tack down each corner of the top of the placket to make it more comfortable.

extremely comfortable, warm and cute
I love Lanz sleepwear it is a quality product. It washes up beautifully and gets even better with age. I have had one gown for almost 20 years and still love it. The Lanz gowns are the only thing I wear at night. Warm, comfortable, they even have pockets. Truly a great line of products, as are all the things I have purchased from your store. Thank you

Love it - but
I pondered sizing on this before ordering, as my bust measurement (47) is in between the chart for size 20 and 22 and so right between 1x and 2x. So I rounded up, because a little roomy in a nightgown is comfy, cozy. Right? So far, I have washed it in HOT water, and HOT dried twice. Still, there is room for me and a REAL moon-jumping cow in it (24 inches too much) so I am ignoring the chart and ordering down to a Large.

Perfect for a cold winter night
I gave this to my wife for Valentine's day and she loved it. The length is perfect and the fabric is soft and comfortable. Besides, how can you not like "Moon over Vermont."
