Discussion Items[edit]
Non-hackers hanging out at Noisebridge[edit]
Noticed non-hackers hanging out in the library, asked them to come to this meeting, none of them are here People have the image that this is an "open resource" for people to do anything - preference should be for hacking
Whether Noisebridge is primarily for hacking?
Stack: Jake
Jake: Mailing list differ with my opinion on what noisebridge is for One night - guy (James) says he's not responsible for anyone he brings in - jake feels people should be accountable for who they bring to noisebridge, James says "noisebridge is a public place, anybody can come here anytime" James also said "noisebridge used to be about communications/hacking, now about occupy and using the kitchen". last night jake told James we were having a meeting tonight, and that he should attend, but he couldn't make it. jake encouraged him to write a note to the meeting, which also didn't happen. guy left around 2 today?
Zephyr: has been coming here a while, but doesn't want to come lately because of non-hacker groups - if you come to a hacker space, you should be hacking. if you're not a hacker, leave. feels a marked decline; less people taking us seriously
Rayc: Al Sweigart started this thing, where you can save food by writing your name on it and keeping it here - sign on the refrigerator this has been abused - we can not use it for original purpose (storing kombucha and brews) Fridge should be fair game for anybody if food is left there.
Miloh: Suggests Rayc has no idea what he's talking about.
Josh: Response to zephyr - we are interested in aspiring hackers
Kelly: If people in the space who are aspiring hackers, this should be evidenced by how much time they spend learning hacking vs using resources
Jake: "if people misusing space, we should give them project" - i object to this, this makes the space less usable for people who have a genuine interest in hacking
Kelly: Problem: We used to have small community, but now there is a subcommunity of people who have never been to tuesday night meetings/wiki/mailing list, we have no way of communicating with them. I have spent the past couple of weeks trying to meet people, having uncomfortable conversations. Also worked on Rooster_Brigade. "Snitches get stitches" It is okay to talk openly about people with behavior that is concerning. Maybe if we talk openly about these people we can see them as human beings.
Zephyr: Exiled Jon, received hostility for doing this. We need to be more trusting of people in Noisebridge to determine who is an oogle.
(?1): We need more input from oogles, because i felt awkward about having this discussion about hypothetical people, we haven't really heard from any of these "oogles". James, Delta, Ashley
(?2): It's not our job to speak up for these people: they know they can come here. They were here at the last meeting, and said nothing.
(?1): I talked to one of them, and said he was in the space, but everyone talked so much that he didn't get the chance to talk. Would like to hear from someone who thinks it's appropriate to hang out here without doing any hacking. Addressing Amber, specifically. (Who is here!) Would like to hear her perspective.
Amber: Says she is using the space for hacking. To me hacking is learning and just going at it as you're making things being creative and learning at the same time and incorporating everyone into that. so you guys may have a different definition of hacking. i am not a computer hacker, but i do use my own computer and i hack astrology and i'm […] anyone who wants to learn more about that when they sit with me […]
Tom wants to set times to discussion items.
Kelly suggests we defer food to another meeting. Talk more about people this week. No one objects. Rayc will add fridge as discussion for next week.
Shannon: Response to amber: wish i had said what i was going to say earlier: every soup kitchen in tenderloin is full of people who are willing to listen to sermon to get a meal — it seems like we have people who are learning to talk like hackers so they can use our kitchen.
(?3): Response to amber: Specifically, this space is about the creative use of technology. Consistent voice for noisebridge: we should do things in the realm of technology. We don't feel Astrology is the same thing.
Tom: Proposes that we have a disagreement over what is Hacking. It seems it has to be related to technology.
Ben: Hacking should be anything related to science: Tastebridge, as an example.
Nick: First came to Noisebridge 6 months ago, before politics and drama. Seems to be a steady decline since I've been here. I believe we are far venturing from being a hackerspace, because we have a narrow definition of hacking. I spend most of my time in the woodshop making random stuff, and there's nothing wrong with me doing that. There's not much technology involved: I'm using my passion for working in my hands to hack in my own way.
Kelly: We should avoid discussion of defining hacking. If there's someone in the space who is doing something that they think is hacking but you disagree, we should all talk about it.
Astrology is an enemy of hackers. It's a fundamentally unscientific approach of dealing with problems.
Rayc: Our credo lists us as a space for science, technology, other things. It doesn't list anything about cooking/sleeping.
Erik: Leaving aside what hacking is/is not, science should be part of the definition, and science is empirical.
(1?): I don't object to the idea that we can hack with food, but I see people coming who are just here to eat, not to foodhack.
Tom: we have open question of what hacking is, and discussion of this is not open to this meeting
Shannon would love to lead a discussion of what hacking at on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 8pm.
Kelly would appreciate it if people could express things they have strong opinions about. There are people who believe that one person should not do-ocratically ban someone. We should know the parameters of the do-ocracy.
Josh: When something breaks in debian, they fix the error, then they fix the policy. Translation in non-hacker-speak:
Response to what Kelly was saying - I don't think people should be able to ban, but kicking someone out is totally do-ocratically possible.
Miloh: Solution: We disband Noisebridge.
Rachel: A year ago this meeting had 15 people in it, the latest few times it's had 30 people.
Jake: Solution: We should agree here to empower people to ask others to leave noisebridge if: 1) they say noisebridge is not about hacking 2) they claim they are not responsible for people they bring in 3) if we ask them to explain themselves to the group (via meeting/email list, etc), and they choose not to
Shannon is uncomfortable with making a list of things you can't say at Noisebridge. It's already been the practice at Noisebridge to ask disruptive people to leave (pending coming back to a meeting.)
Believes Shannon is mistaken. Had a few people come up to me and claim that exiling John was unexcellent.
SHANNON: IF SOMEONE IS BEING DISRUPTIVE OR OTHERWISE UNEXCELLENT IN THE SPACE, IT IS THE NOISEBRIDGE PRACTICE TO ASK THEM TO LEAVE AND NOT COME BACK UNTIL THE GROUP CAN DISCUSS THEIR BEHAVIOR. (he said that in all caps)
(Nick): is impartial. there should be the possibility of throwing someone out of Noisebridge, but before that extreme action is taken there should be a number of warnings. it should be made very clear what their problem is, someone should go up to them and tell them what they are doing is unexcellent.
Kelly: It's good to talk to people multiple times, but that should not always have to be one person. It should be distributed across people
(?5): Queue system, strike system
Rachel: My experience is not accurate from what Shannon is saying, people do sometimes come to meetings, we have a Mediation process. People have used it! The way we proceed does not include the stern/condescending tone
Kelly: Majority of people in noisebridge feel they don't have the authority to say that to people. you have to have the balls to tell people they need to leave — most people don't feel comfortable with that.
Miloh: Asks how many people have asked someone to leave. ~10 hands go up.
(?2): Would like to expand on what Shannon said about asking people to come to a tuesday meeting, a persistent use of time that degrades the space is also a good reason to ask someone to come to a meeting
Andrew: Door should have an AUP.
(?7): We've historically tried to keep this short by saying to just be excellent.
Leif: The list implies "because that's not on the list, it must be allowed!"
Kelly: Noisebridge radically resists any attempt of codification of rules.
We should make a bigger version of the paragraph that explains what
Shannon: Telling someone to leave is a set of technical skills that can be learned. It is helpful to not be alone and be over 6' tall.
Tom is happy to teach a workshop on this!
(?): Me and Robert had a good idea that we could create a pamphlet so people have something more tangible, increase respect.
(?8): Amber and everyone, it's pretty clear what you need to do to be cool with everyone here, it includes not bringing people over who are just going to loiter etc.
Rayc: The pamphlet! If we create it and hand it out to people they will better understand Noisebridge policies.
(?9): When you come here you have to do stuff, you can't just be a spectator.
Zephyr: Like Shannon said, people are abusing the system, calling everything hacking.
Miloh: There is a list of things people have created here. People might like it.
Discussion Items[edit]
Kelly wants to discuss the people who we ask to come here who don't show up for meetings (our conflict resolution process)
Rachel wants to discuss technical solutions to social problems
Rayc has a text: Guy james that was asked to come to meeting sent email to firstname.lastname@example.com. No one can access the moderation queue, we're not sure where the email went.
Conflict Resolution Process[edit]
Shannon: My understanding of the policy i outlined: the first step should not just be telling someone they're unexcellent, but also asking them to leave and not come back until they've been to a meeting
Zephyr: I don't think it's obviou
Rachel: When Rob 2.0 was being unexcellent, we asked him to not come back — what is unexcellent enough to get kicked out of the space and not come back
We should definitely have two paths of mediation — either one on one or group mediation.
Rachel: We have a page on the wiki Conflict_Resolution: this is the page we made addressing the issues last time we had them. Tom thinks it
Zephyr: Is it crazy to say James isn't allowed back?
Jake: He sent an email, so we have to read that. But if he hadn't sent the email, somebody said it's unexcellent to limit free speech. But if your free speech is "Noisebridge is open to anybody to do whatever you want and you're not responsible for anything", what are you supposed to do.
Tom thinks Shannon was saying we do not want to have a list of things that you can't say at Noisebridge, not that you can't be unexcellent through speaking
Shannon: Next step is to explicitly tell people who we told aren't welcome until they come to a meeting that they have to come to a meeting. And that everyone should ask them to leave until they come to a meeting.
Tom: Does anyone disagree: "It would not be excellent for me to tell one of these street kids to leave and not come back until they start mediation ideally by coming to a tuesday night meeting." "Does anyone think they don't have the do-ocratic right or permission to remove someone from the space, pending mediation?"
Shannon: When someone has been unxcellent and i asked them to leave and they didn't, then i threatened to call the police. ( never actually had to call police)
rachel: there's a community understanding that it's okay to ask someone to leave if they're being unexcellent
Tom: example of being really lousy: if i've had a bunch of people tell me you've been really lousy, and they tried to remove you from the space.
Leif: If necessary to kick someone out, anyone should be able to ask people to leave, not just members. If you really think it's the right thing to do, and the responsibility is on the person doing the kicking to discuss it at next week's meeting.
Kelly: it's necessary for us to condone some public aggregation of information about unexcellent behavior that includes first names. got a lot of asshole emails and attitude from Rayc for starting the rooster brigade. think it is necessary to accumulate a record using first names as primary keys to aggregate minor infractions. big dramatic assholish behavior gets people in trouble, but if they're sitting here consuming resources without doing anything, nobody talks about them.
Rachel: Kelly, are you seeking support from the community?
Kelly: there's 86, that seems where people should be after all this
Shannon: Make an 85 page for the step before 86
Rick(?): If there are street kids here, someone should be mentoring them! I will buy them cookies and teach them to solder.
Rayc: Created a Human Resources binder as a tool to reaching out! It has resources for humans.
OWS guy agrees!
Alex: Proposes every possible resources to people
(?): In theory it's a good idea to give one-on-one tutoring to anyone who comes in off the street, but it's not possible.
Technical Solutions to Social Problems[edit]
Kelly: Are there particular projects you'd like to hear about?
Rachel: would like to hear about keypads.
Jake: Working on it, have the whole thing designed, but I have other things that I should be doing. If anyone wants to work on it, it's an arduino, max32 chip, RJ-45 socket and a payphone keypad! a little software, beeper and LEDs. I also made periscope - camera mounted to entryway, connected to TV upstairs, you can see who is buzzing the gate. Do-ocratic fact that if someone's outside the gate, you have no obligation to let them in.
Tom: if you let someone into noisebridge, you are responsible for their actions
Kelly: Keycode_Access details possible keycode system. Access_Control has a list of possible police state actions and who blocks them. There were two weeks of discussion about this Kelly is working on some stuff, there will be a physical numberpad on the front door, you can enter a number code to buzz yourself in, codes can be generated, members can have multiple unique codes, responsibility can be distributed. Member, for example, could have 3 keycodes: One for vaguely cool people, one for members, and one for myself. If there are any problematic people, we could disable codes. Opinions
Shannon: Thinks we should buy a system instead of making our own. Would be $1000 to buy one. If anyone feels like helping…
Tom suggests a wiki page that details all the things we need from a keycode system.
Terry: knows a guy who sells intercoms, will talk to Shannon
Kelly: We're trying not pick out possible products, there is a list on the wiki, please contribute or complain about it
(?) likes the idea of Jake making stuff
Tom likes parallel solutions.
Shannon: Last week, Noisebridge members gave him money and he bought 56 keys! But he forgot to bring them tonight.
Rayc: Access system is great, but it doesn't what it could be doing --- he's working on framework for noisebridge as a local area to figure out what people are w
Tom: Buzzer should go to a list of phone numbers of people who volunteer to let people into the space by phone. A long time from now, once we implement other things that work.
Miloh: If I disconnect the buzzer… It's a switch to disable/enable the buzzer. He has a zine!
Kelly: If we have the ability to give people access codes, people probably wouldn't piss their pants over disabling the buzzer.
End of Meeting[edit]
- PGP Key Signing could happen now, check the list to see who wants in on the action.
- Put back the membership binder in the black desk.
- Save the meeting notes to the wiki.
- Send a copy of the meeting notes to the discussion list.

The Grower's Cup coffee maker is billed as a hybrid between a filter dripmaker and a french press, except that it's more portable than both of those options, and is also completely disposable. Which makes it easier to carry and use during camping trips, or during any emergency that can be resolved with a tasty cup of joe.
The waterproof polyethylene-coated paper bag comes with 25 grams of ground coffee inside (available in different flavors) and to brew a single cup you simply open the bag from the top, pour in half a liter of boiling water, and then pour out your dose of caffeine through a spout on the side. Because of where the filter and coffee are positioned, the brew doesn't touch the grounds while it's 'percolating' so it doesn't have the chance to get bitter. And the specially designed filter supposedly works like a French Press to preserve the coffee's oils, flavor, and aroma.
The Grower's Cup pouches aren't available in the US just yet, but they are in parts of Europe and currently sell for just under $4. So they're comparable in price to a fancy Starbuck's coffee, except you'll be hard pressed (as it were) to find a coffee shop if you're roughing it deep in the woods.

Shareholder Files Appeal Of Sirius XM Merger
As I reported last week here on SiriusBuzz, September 4, 2008 was the final appeal date regarding the merger. It was met with some skepticism to say the least. In fact, I was challenged, as was my credibility when I reported the appeal date. Now it's my turn.
SiriusBuzz has learned that Mr. Michael Hartlieb, a long time shareholder, has in fact filed a "pro se" appeal of the merger decision. Mr. Hartlieb has named the FCC itself as the defendant, and not Sirius XM with the D.C. Court of Appeals.
An appeal of an FCC decision must challenge the FCC, and not the companies that the decision was made about. I hope to be interviewing Mr. Hartlieb on the matter, and will report further as details continue to be made public.
SiriusBuzz has created a discussion thread to keep you updated on events at SiriusBuzz.com!

Michael Hartleib v. FCC, et al
|Michael Hartleib
|09/05/2008 10:08:40
|General Docket
United States Court of Appeals for DC Circuit
Petition for Review
Petitioner petitions for review of the Commission's Merger Order on the grounds that:
(1) the Commission violated its obligations under law by excluding from the record evidence directly related to its obligations to determine whether the Merger would serve the public interests;
(2) arbitrarily and capriciously ignored the Applicants' failure to comply with the Commission's order mandating the provision of interoperable satellite radios;
(3) arbitrarily and capriciously ignored the Applicants' disclosures of their active concealment of and misrepresentations about their failure to comply with the Commission's order mandating the provision of interoperable satellite radios ("Disclosures");
(4) arbitrarily and capriciously failed to consider whether these Disclosures revealed a conspiracy by the Applicants to violate the antitrust laws by eliminating the opportunity for competition that compliance with the interoperability mandate would have provided;
(5) arbitrarily and capriciously failing to inform the Department of Justice of these Disclosures or to seek its opinion on whether actions described in the Disclosures provided evidence of a conspiracy to violate the antitrust laws;
(6) arbitrarily and capriciously refused to follow its procedures governing petitions for declaratory ruling;
(7) arbitrarily and capriciously denied Petitioner's Petition for Declaratory Ruling seeking the Commission's declaration whether the Applicants' failure to comply with the interoperability mandate required the Commission to determine whether the public interest could be served in light of such failure;
(8) arbitrarily and capriciously adopted consent decrees that excluded consideration of the Applicants' violations of the interoperability mandate thereby exonerating them for their violations;
(9) arbitrarily and capriciously denied Petitioner his right to be heard on the record;
(10) arbitrarily and capriciously selected facts without reasonable investigation and analysis that favored approval of the Merger while systematically ignoring facts requiring its rejection; and
(11) otherwise acted arbitrarily and capriciously and contrary to law.
Petitioner requests that this Court find the Merger Order and the XM/Sirius Sanctions Orders are unlawful, and vacate, enjoin and set them aside the Commission's Merger Order and XM/Sirius Consent Decisions and order all such other relief as may be just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael Hartleib, Pro se
UPDATE - (By Tyler Savery) The challenge of the merger is a natural extension of the litigation that Mr. Hartleib has brought against Sirius and XM. My opinion is that legally speaking, Mr. Hartleib had to file the appeal of the merger in order for his legal suit to proceed. His legal suit, without a merger appeal would have less standing. I am not saying Mr. Hartleib is right or wrong in his actions. I am simply pointing out the legal steps that would seem natural in his litigation. I would recommend that before anyone arrives at a conclusion regarding the appeal, that they look into the suit that was filed. Only by looking at the litigation together with the appeal can anyone even begin to arrive at an informed opinion of these actions.
Position: Long SIRI

These days kids are pretty ecologically aware, but you can still bring home some important lessons on Earth Day that will help instill in them some planet friendly habits that will last a lifetime. I just completed a couple of environment focused articles for HowStuffWorks.com, a Discovery Channel owned site. They have helpful tips for Earth Day activities and a few suggestions on how to help your kids grow their environmental muscles.
One of my favorite quotes from physician and philosopher and Albert Schweitzer goes like this:
"By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world. By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive."
Have a wonderful Earth Day, and make this one count by showing your kids that having a reverence for life and the world around them is important -- and fun.

PURO Hotel Warsaw: A Lesson in Curating Warsaw?s Design Identity
In Warsaw, Poland, Puro Hotel worked with London-based studio DeSallesFlint to design their newest hotel, Puro Hotel Warsaw.
Situated in Poland?s capital next to the city?s most prominent landmark?the Palace of Culture and Science?PURO Hotels Warsaw has a tall order to capture Warsaw?s distinct position at the crossroads of East and West.
The hotel?s interiors strike a balance between vintage finesse?dark greens, velvets, ornate details?and and minimalist modernist statement pieces. For example, each of the 148 rooms feature hand-tufted rugs from traditional Persian rug craftsmen, Golran 1898, alongside a familiar modern tech icon: Bang & Olufsen speakers. The hotel?s interior design is an exercise in combining iconic European furniture brands?Baxter, Moroso, Kettal, Carl Hansen & Co., &Tradition, Gubi, Fredericia, and Fogia, to create something bold yet familiar.
Mia Hamborg?s Shuffle tables are juxtaposed against the exuberant luxury of Lorenzo Bozzoli's poofs and the sleekness of Sovet's totem coffee tables. Throughout the hotel, boucle wools sit alongside velvets and nubuck suede for added comfort and tactile pleasure.
The building was designed by JEMS Architecki, who envisioned it as a bridge between the downtown?s traditional tenement housing design and the modern high-rises.
The rooftop bar, L...

Clients should also be able to utilize multiple *local* interfaces for outbound connections instead of always using the interface for the local hostname. This can be accomplished with a new configuration parameter ({{dfs.client.local.interfaces}}) that accepts a list of interfaces the client should use. Acceptable configuration values are the same as the {{dfs.datanode.available.interfaces}} parameter. The client binds its socket to a specific interface, which enables outbound traffic to use that interface. Binding the client socket to a specific address is not sufficient to ensure egress traffic uses that interface. Eg if multiple interfaces are on the same subnet the host requires IP rules that use the source address (which bind sets) to select the destination interface. The SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option could be used to select a specific interface for the connection instead, however it requires JNI (is not in Java's SocketOptions) and root access, which we don't want to require clients have. > Like HDFS-3147, the client can use multiple local interfaces for data transfer. Since the client already cache their connections to DNs choosing a local interface at random seems like a good policy. Users can also pin a specific client to a specific interface by specifying just that interface in dfs.client.local.interfaces. > This change was discussed in HADOOP-6210 a while back, and is actually useful/independent of the other HDFS-3140 changes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

How to Use the Images
Photo 4: William Howard Taft National Historic Site.
The Mount Auburn house was sold by the Taft family in 1889. It went through many alterations, including use as an apartment house, before it was saved from demolition by the Taft Memorial Association in 1938, eight years after Taft's death. In 1969, the Federal Government designated the Taft house a national historic site, honoring the life and work of William Howard Taft. Restoration experts and historians used letters and diaries describing the decorating, home improvements, and furniture purchases of the family to furnish four rooms of the house, reflecting the way it looked when the Tafts lived there. The remainder of the house contains exhibits that illustrate Taft's life and career.
Questions for Photo 4
1. Can you tell in what time period this house might have been built?
2. Do you think it is important to protect historic buildings associated with the lives of our presidents? Why or why not?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Photo 4 but be aware that each will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Saint Michael's offers secure network resources for printing and storing of documents and other media. Students and employees send their printing requests from their computers to the networked printers. Print jobs may be printed at almost any printer on campus when people scan their Knight Cards. As for network storage, students and employees are encouraged to save their documents and media projects to our network shares (Z:\ and O:\ drives) as these drives are backed up.
Additional information on printing and network storage for students and employees may be found in the mySMC portal.
In addition to printing black and white, MFPs also give the functionality of copying and scanning. They include stapling as a finishing option (not a default). Most of these printers are color printers, with the exception of those in the Online area on the main floor of Durick. Color MFPs will have the letter "C" in the model type (on the Ricoh tag attached). On an MFP, you can login with your Mikenet username and password by using the keyboard on the touch screen panel if you forget your ID card. Special note for Faculty & Students: While most black and white printing is free for students, access to color printing is restricted for students. If color printing is a requirement for a course, faculty should email the class list to email@example.com. Color permissions will be reset each semester.
Standard printers print black & white only and do not have the option to staple. When you swipe your ID card at a standard printer, all of the print jobs in your queue will be printed.
While the new printer queue is installed automatically in all labs and classrooms, extra software is required if you wish to print from your personal computer. You may download the drivers from the web and use the College's network printers from your personal computer. Information on printing resources may be found in the mySMC portal.

What happens when the API is technically secure but the environment, whether widget, web site or mashup, is not? Recent security breaches in MySpace and Yahoo, which led to the release of semi-embarrassing photos of prolific celebs Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, points out the added opportunities for hackers in the open web.
According to the CNET story the vulnerability was caused by a 'deprecated API', but it also appears to be a function of the interaction between two cooperating environments: a MySpace widget that in turn used a Yahoo authorization scheme. The vulnerability has been fixed but the step-by-step details are outlined by this Valleywag article.
And the folks over at F5 looked at this and asked: Is deprecation of APIs a security risk?. They call out some of the inherent issues with deprecating functionality in an online API: "Deprecation is to developers what quiescing is to database administrators and bleeding-off is to TCP-focused products. Deprecation can take years, as anyone familiar with the Java language specification can tell you...Deprecation in a Web-based API a la REST also increases the number of methods, scripts, or applications that have to be maintained and increases the potential security holes through which bad guys might be able to access private data - or worse."
This isn't the first time privacy-related mashup security has been newsworthy. Even two years ago just the prospect of open API-enabled security breaches was the centerpiece of a New Scientist story on Mashups as Hacker's Dream. And "creative application" of available online personal data was used in the eye opening proof of concept we covered in Banned Books and the Big Brother Mashup, in which readers of subversive books got plotted on a Google Map.
And as the web opens and interconnects, we'll certainly see more incidents of this type. Racy photos are one thing, but what if it is your medical history or financial records? And with multiple vendors, some of whom don't have the policies and reputation of the big players, who is responsible for repairing and notifying you if such a breach occurs?

Crawl spaces and basements are often sources of unwanted heat loss, moisture, odors, and polluted air. Solving these problems involves two different approaches – isolating the vented crawl space from the house by creating a thermal and air barrier at the house floor, or moving the thermal and pressure boundary to the foundation walls, creating a semi-conditioned crawl space. Isolating the crawl space can be more effective at reducing heat loss to the ground, but less effective at improving building durability. Conditioning them can solve some problems, but in low energy homes this strategy may incur a substantial energy penalty. While either strategy can be effective; all too often they both fall short. Success depends on understanding the complex interactions of heat, air, and moisture flow, combined with a healthy dose of caution, monitoring, and verification.
In the first of this two-part webinar, Graham Irwin and Gavin Healy expand on their highly rated session The 6th Side — House to Ground: Getting to Low Energy, Healthy Homes from ACI's June 2012 regional conference in Sacramento, California. Topics include the energy penalty of conditioning crawl spaces, migration of soil gases and pests from the ground through the crawl space to the home, code requirements, resistance and resilience to flooding, and the presence of mechanical equipment and utilities.

Walker treads own path on ACA
Scott Walker hates Obamacare. But Scott Walker also needs Obamacare.
The Wisconsin Republican governor, a potential 2016 contender for the White House, has drawn national attention to his ambitious health reform effort to cover the poor in his state without buying into the president's health care plan. But his approach is nevertheless yoked to the new insurance exchange, a core component of Obamacare, and the federal law's early nosedive already has claimed collateral damage in the Badger State.
Story Continued Below
"Anybody can recognize that, practically, the exchanges aren't working the way they were supposed to," Walker said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
Walker built his own plan on his rejection of Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. Instead, he's taking nearly 80,000 people off the state's generous Medicaid program and encouraging them to join the Obamacare insurance exchange, where they can get federal subsidies. That would, in turn, make room to extend BadgerCare, as Medicaid is known there, to poorer people. He's calling it a "creative alternative" and using it to polish his reputation as an outside-the-box innovator.
( Also on POLITICO Magazine: I Punk'd Scott Walker)
But that was before the HealthCare.gov catastrophe made it so difficult to enroll. As of Nov. 2, only 877 Wisconsinites had signed up for coverage, according to enrollment data released by the Obama administration. That led Walker to propose putting his plan on hold for three months. But he's promised to help people caught in limbo.
"We're going to make sure those people are taken care of and are not stuck in no-man's-land," he said.
To his allies, Walker's approach to Obamacare is a reflection of the governor's problem-solving persona, someone who comes up with bold answers to long-simmering problems that bog down other states. He rejected billions of dollars in federal taxpayer funds but still managed to add thousands of people to the health care rolls. To opponents, it's proof that he's burnishing his conservative credentials for an eventual presidential bid by trying to have it both ways on Obamacare.
"He's so tethered to his own personal politics that he's tied himself up in knots," said Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.)
( PHOTOS: Scott Walker's career)
Walker has spent much of the year trashing President Barack Obama's signature law as " unworkable," yet his administration has been aggressively promoting the exchange, holding town hall meetings, pitching it to editorial boards, even sending letters to potentially eligible constituents.
He calls his maneuver a "creative alternative" to Medicaid expansion. And to make it work, he is taking advantage of the federal money for exchange subsidies to free up his state's own Medicaid dollars.
"Some governors chose not to take the [Medicaid] expansion. Some chose to take it," he said. "I wanted to find a way to reduce the number of people who were uninsured and still do something in a way that did not put my taxpayers on the hook."

Last week's toe problem was "not that big a deal," and the Panthers seem just as nonchalant about the ankle problem quarterback Cam Newton developed.
After Sunday's win over the Saints, Newton said his ankle was "nicked," and coach Ron Rivera used equally non-medical language to describe it.
"It was tweaked, and he feels pretty good today," Rivera said Monday, via Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer. "He came in and got some pretty good treatment today. He rolled it and he's out here walking around."
Newton had his ankle re-taped during the Saints game, and may have been a bit limited in his mobility, rushing just four times for 6 yards. He was also off in the passing game, at least until his last-minute, game-winning drive.
"You got to be smart and judicious and make sure the situation calls for it, and [offensive coordinator] Mike [Shula] was very smart about it, very careful about it and unfortunately we missed some things is probably the biggest thing," Rivera said. "We missed some throws. He had some guys open and he knew it and he threw them a little high but again as I said yesterday, when we ended him to come through he did."
Keeping Newton well has been a challenge this year, as the right side of the Panthers offensive line has been a persistent liability. But the combination of Newton's own size and strength, and Shula's ability to call a game to keep him out of peril, they've gotten him through this far.
Getting him well and earning a bye (which they can do with a win Sunday at Atlanta or a Saints loss) will help that much more.

Asked whether the Obama administration's proposed gun laws hinder self-defense, Vice President Joe Biden disclosed Wednesday the advice he has given his wife about the use of a shotgun at the Bidens' Wilmington, Delaware, home. But, noted Steven Nelson on USNews.com, if Dr. Jill Biden follows her husband's advice, she could find herself on the wrong side of Delaware law.
Biden was fielding questions about the Obama administration's proposed gun regulations during a Facebook "chat" hosted by Parents magazine when one of the e-mailed questions put to the vice president had to do with self-defense for women and whether the restrictions proposed by the president would leave people unable to defend themselves, even in their own homes. Biden, who heads the administration's task force on gun violence, said the proposed ban on "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines would not impair the defense of hearth and home. He recommended a shotgun for that purpose, noting that he keeps two shotguns and the ammunition for them in a locked cabinet in his home. Said Biden:
Get a double-barreled shotgun. Have the shells in the 12 gauge shotgun. And I promise you — as I told my wife — we live in an area that's in the woods and somewhat secluded. I said, "Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you whoever is coming in is not going to. "You don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use and in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun.
But Delaware law forbids the discharge of a firearm in the situation Biden described unless the danger is clearly and imminently life threatening. Nelson quoted a Wilmington police sergeant who said city residents may not fire at mere trespassers.
"On your property you can't just shoot someone," said the sergeant, who did not want to be identified. "You have to really feel that your life is being threatened." John Garey, a defense attorney and former deputy attorney general for Delaware, said the action described by Biden could result in several criminal charges, including aggravated menacing, a felony, and first-degree reckless endangerment.
"In Delaware you have to be in fear of your life to use deadly force," Garey told USNews.com. "There's nothing based on [Biden's] scenario alone" indicating a reason to fear imminent death, he said. Delaware law does not permit the use of deadly force to protect one's property, he added.
Tom Shellenberger, a lawyer who serves as a spokesman for the Delaware State Sportsmen's Association, told the news magazine that in addition to the felony charges, following Biden's advice could lead to prosecution for "Discharge of a firearm within 15 yards of a road (7 Del.C. § 719), a misdemeanor," and "Violation of the residential dwelling safety zone as set forth in 7 Del.C. § 723, also a misdemeanor." Aside from the criminal liabilities, the vice president's recommendation is bad advice for personal safety reasons, Shellenberger said.
"Not only does blasting blindly away put innocent persons at risk, it also tells the bad guys where you are and that you are armed," he said. "In most circumstances, it might be better if that comes as a surprise to the bad guys."
USNews.com reported that a satellite image of the Bidens' home shows the nearest neighbor's house is 100 feet away. On the other side of the house, but further away, is a school with outdoor sports facilities. J.D. Tuccille, writing on Reason.com, said that under the vice president's scenario, Jill Biden "has just fired two loads of shot in the air, where gravity will soon take control and bring them back down to Earth — potentially on somebody's head.
"And, since hypothetical frightened Jill Biden has just fired two shells into the air from a double-barreled shotgun, she is now disarmed, and has to reload before she can defend herself."
Concerning the legal issues, Nelson suggested in his USNews.com report that the vice president, an attorney and member of the Delaware bar, would be well advised to consult another lawyer in the family.
"Vice President Joe Biden," wrote Nelson, "might want to have a talk with his son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, before he makes another statement about guns."

David Stern Couture Presents a 14kt White Gold 3/8 ct tw Ring
Depending on the setting you choose, you can soak your diamond engagement and/or wedding rings for up to 30 minutes in a solution of dishwashing liquid and water. This is best suited to prong and cathedral settings. In pave and basket settings, however, soaking the rings can increase the likelihood of the gems coming loose. Be mindful of this when you decide to soak any jewelry piece use mild dish soap in warm water and soak your jewelry for a few minutes. Using a soft cloth or cotton swab, gently scrub the metal (gold, platinum, silver) and then rinse. Repeat the process if necessary, but always proceed with caution when it comes to soaking jewelry.
For extra shine, you can soak diamonds in window cleaner afterwards. Because glass cleaner contains some harsh chemicals, do not soak for more than a minute at a time, and do not use this process at all with rhodium. To ensure that all of the glass cleaner is rinsed off, use the same mild dish soap solution. Dip your ring into the solution, rinse it with warm water, and then dry it completely.
You can use toothpicks to remove dirt that is lodged in between the prongs and the diamonds, but be extra careful not to scratch the metal or move the positioning of a prong. If fibers from cloth get stuck in the setting, gently use tweezers to remove them. Again, be careful of the metal. Even though diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds, the precious metals into which they are set can be scratched more easily.
Ionic cleaners can be used on most diamond jewelry. If your engagement ring is set with stones other than diamonds, consider other cleaning methods, as some gemstones are adversely affected by the electrical current in the ionic cleaning process.
When storing your diamond jewelry, be sure to keep it separate from other jewelry. Remember that diamonds can not only scratch any other jewelry you have, but can scratch each other as well. Make sure that two diamond pieces are not being stored in such a way that they touch each other.
All purchases from David Stern Jewelers in Boca Raton, FL qualify for free cleaning whenever the item is brought to the signature store.

If you also like how the Celine Phantom purse looks like, but you just can't afford its high price tag then here there are a few tips for finding a perfect replica.
The most important detail about this very beautiful bag is the leather. It is manufactured from a very resistant, thick and firm leather. This type of leather looks very refined and highlights the original lines of this bag, every curve and every folding. The original Celine Luggage Phantom Bag doesn't need to be full in order to stand firm by its own. Even empty it keeps its special shape without bending. A poor replica bag will not have the same high quality leather and because of this it will look cheap and it will bend if its not stuffed.
Essential is the color of this Celine Phantom version. This unique blue is very difficult to find on the market of fake bags. Because of this, only a few replica manufacturer will manage to offer this exact color for your Celine Luggage Phantom fake Bag. Beware of lighter or darker shades of blue. These will be a clear giveaway.
The handles have a very well constructed shape. These look like tall arches made from the finest leather there is. To ensure the firmes of the handles, these are stitched on the inside part. The stitching offers an extra robustness.
The stitching is very important at a Celine Luggage Phantom replica Bag. These are used to outline the curves, the design embelishments and the elegance of the purse. Most decorative stitches are raised and represent the most fascinating part of the bag. Needless to say, each stitch is perfect. There are no symmetric errors, no loose threads or smudges.
The hardware has a very rough look. It is silver color and isn't too shiny. It has a matte finish that looks very modern and city like. I love it. It is a very nice aesthetic detail that enhances the beauty of the bag. Please note that the base must have four rectangular studs made from the same silver metal as the rest of the harware.
So just pay attention to all the details of the Celine Luggage Phantom bag you want to purchase and compare every small part of the purse with the original model. It must be an exact match. If you manage to find such a Celine Luggage Phantom replica bag then you can go ahead with your order. The result will be a glamorous and beautiful replica purse.
