non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 4)
Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.
Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.
Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player.
Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.
Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.
To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set.
The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.

Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., told the new Securities and Exchange Commission chairwoman, Mary Jo White, in a Tuesday letter to act now in preventing Wall Street brokerage firms from forcing investors into "unfair" arbitration agreements.
"Minnesotans planning for retirement or saving for their children's college funds rely on the advice of their brokers to help them make smart investment choices," Franken said in the letter, which was also signed by 36 other senators and House colleagues. "However, when brokers engage in fraudulent or illegal behaviors that lose investors' savings, mandatory arbitration clauses limit investors' ability to protect their rights under the law."
Franken and the other lawmakers urged the SEC to use its existing authority under Section 921 of the Dodd-Frank Act to prevent mandatory arbitration clauses in broker-investor contracts.
"We are deeply concerned that the commission's failure to respond to the dangers posed by widespread forced arbitration will weaken existing investor protections," wrote Franken and his colleagues. "We urge the commission to act quickly to exercise its authority…to prevent this practice and protect investor rights."
SEC spokesman John Nester said the agency declined to comment "in advance of our response to the senator, but as a general matter we share his interest in this issue."
The lawmakers said the need for the SEC to act increased after Charles Schwab recently expanded its mandatory arbitration clauses.
"We were alarmed to see further attempts to erode investor rights when Charles Schwab, one of the country's largest brokers, expanded the mandatory arbitration clauses in its customer agreements to include a mandatory class-action waiver clause," the lawmakers wrote in their letter. "In this instance, Schwab argued that, in response to the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, it could include a waiver of class-action and class arbitration rights in its customer agreements."
The lawmakers then cited FINRA's disciplinary action against Schwab for violation of FINRA rules barring class-action waivers. In February, however, a FINRA hearing panel ruled that although Schwab's actions did in fact violate FINRA rules, those rules could not be enforced under Concepcion.
"While the Supreme Court in Concepcion did find that the FAA pre-empts state actions that would restrict the use of arbitration, the facts in the Schwab case are notably distinguishable—not least because FINRA is a membership organization seeking to enforce its own rules. However, the ambiguity created by the panel's ruling underscores the urgency with which the commission should adopt rules under Section 921."
SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar also said in a recent speech that he objects to predispute mandatory arbitration as "it denies investors the right to choose between arbitration and the traditional judicial process at the very beginning of their relationship with their brokers and advisors." Heath Abshure, Arkansas securities commissioner and president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, said in a statement that "As the closest regulators to Main Street investors, state securities regulators commend Sen. Franken for his leadership and shared belief that investors should not be forced into the 'take it or leave it' scenario they now face with mandatory predispute arbitration clauses in customer agreements with their broker-dealers."
These clauses, Abshure continued, "have become even more troubling" in light of the Schwab decision. "That's wrong on the merits and bad public policy. Forced arbitration should not be the sole forum available to aggrieved investors, especially those investing small amounts."
The lawmakers also pressed the SEC to track the number of brokerage firms that are inserting mandatory arbitration agreements and class-action waivers into consumer contracts "so that they can closely monitor the growing use of this abusive practice."

If you judge these things by sales figures, for the last few years there has been an undisputed king of the gaming world, the Call of Duty series. Each new annual release frequently makes well over a billion dollars, a figure that only a few years ago we would only joking suggest that a game's sales totals would reach. Yet Call of Duty continues to break its own records, again and again. The newest member of the Call of Duty family, and this year's offering, is no exception.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 raced through the billion dollar mark, and continues to have a massive online presence all around the world. That isn't likely to change any time soon, which means that Black Ops 2 will remain in heavy rotation for several months still, and with the many upcoming DLCs offerings on the way, there is little chance of it growing dull. So for those looking for a game this Christmas (or shortly after), we are happy to offer you a shot at taking home the biggest game of the year.
Check out our full review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for more details.
Here's all you have to do to win: post a comment below letting us know what game coming out next year has you most excited. Once you comment, you are set.
The contest will run from now through Monday, Christmas Eve. This offer is open only to North American residents, and it is specifically for the Xbox 360.
Good luck to everyone, and from all of us at Digital Trends, Happy Holidays to one and all!
Congratulations to our winner, Sandy Bruce!

The Canonical team has released Ubuntu 12.04 - a new long term support release. The biggest new feature is the HUD, an addition to the traditional application menu system, where you can search for the actions you want to perform instead of having to hunt for them in menus. Unity overall has been improved, and I must say that even though this new release is simply not at all ready for Asus ZenBooks, Unity runs perfectly well on it, and to my own shock and surprise, I'm slowly warming up to it. It's starting to make sense, it looks nice (especially after some custom tweaking), has become a lot more configurable, and it's really, really, really fast.

The Lady Wildcats snapped off two consecutive wins over AVCTL rivals at their Lady Cat Classic to run to a 5th place finish over the weekend.
The Lady Wildcats snapped off two consecutive wins over AVCTL rivals at their Lady Cat Classic to run to a 5th place finish over the weekend.
The Wildcats first victory came against Augusta in a 41-38 nailbiter.
"We held our composure at the end of the game, we made some key free throws at the end of the game and we were able to run our offense and play together as a team and the result was a victory," said El Dorado head coach Shauna Riedy.
The Wildcats were led by Hannah Helferich with 16 points going 4-6 from the line including the game sealing points from the charity stripe.
"The game was on the line and it would have put a big burden on my shoulders if I did not make them and we didn't win," said El Dorado guard Hannah Helferich on her clutch free throws to seal the win for El Dorado.
El Dorado was down 17-16 at halftime and came out in the third and out scored Augusta 16-11 to gain a 32-28 lead going into the fourth.
Augusta outscored the Lady Wildcats 10-9 in the fourth but it was not enough.
"We played well as a team and kept our game speed throughout the full 32 minutes of the game," said Helferich.
Andrea Valadez had 10 points and Justice Rice had 6 points.
Morgan Limon had 5 points including a buzzer beating three pointer.
"In the second half we focused on getting the ball inside the paint on them as they were playing smaller so we played the mismatch to our advantage early getting some good looks at the basket," said Riedy.
El Dorado followed their victory over Augusta with a blowout win over Wichita Collegiate 46-27.
El Dorado ran out to a 26-20 lead after the first half.
The Lady Wildcats then clamped down defensively in the final two quarters allowing the Spartans only 7 points meanwhile scoring another 20 of their own to grab the big win.
Helferich led with 12 points. Kalyn Beel and Valadez poured in 9 points each.
Rice and Destiny Smith each had 7 points and Erin Hildreth had two points.
The Lady Wildcat will be back in action tonight as they host familiar foe Circle at 6 p.m.

Download information
Developer Information
Building an installer target
To use the installer all you need to do is simply create a configfile. The Config file is a simple XML format.
Note for developers I fully intend that after the 1.x release cycle I will not break compatabilily in major release series. The 1.x series is special because I think it meets all the needs, but we shall learn all too quickly it does not.
Config file layout
- distribution : Name of distribution
- version : Version
- preinstall: (Optional) A script or executable that will run on the Kurobox before any disk partitioning occurs.
- postinstall: (Optional) A script or executable that will run on the Kurobox after the distribution has been installed. Here you could customize the startup and cleanup anything that may need it.
- image
- filename: The distribution filename. (As of 1.1 this can be a URL to download from)
- filetype: The type of compression used for the file above.
valid types are:
- raw - Just a file
- zip - Windows zip format
- tar - Unix tar format
- gz - Gzip format
- tgz - Unix Tar + Gzip format
- tbz - Unix Tar + Bzip2 format
- pasword: (Optional) Password to decrypt the compressed file (Unsupported)
- network: Network device name (eth0)
- ip: IP Address to assign to the configured Kurobox (dhcp Only)
- netmask: Netmask Address to assign to the configured Kurobox (dhcp Only)
- broadcast: Broadcast Address to assign to the configured Kurobox(dhcp Only)
- hostname: Hostname to assign to the configured Kurobox
- disk - The device to install on (hda)
- fdisk - if yes, then run fdisk to create partitions
- partition - Number of the partition. You may make any number of partitions, but the Kurobox must boot from /dev/hda1.
- name - Descriptive name of partition
- size - Size of partition. Can be in blocks, numM, numG, or REST. A single partition should be of size REST as it will use all remaining space.
- fstype - Type of filesystem to create on the partition
- format - If yes, format partition to create filesystem
Changes from 1.1 to 1.2
- Do Not use 1.1! It is just plain broken. 1.2 fixes the installer.
- Use os.path.split() for configfile parsing.
Changes from 1.0 to 1.1
- Added support for remote fetching of distribution image from URL provided in filename.
- Added ability to use directories to store distribution info.
- Fixed bug where installer crashed if no physical Kurobox was found.
- Added check such that kuro_installer can be imported from other sources.
Version 1.0
- Initial Release
Upcoming features
- Add support for a series pre and post install actions
- Add support for configuration of network interfaces
- Add support to and name label to partitions that support it
- A better user interface to allow a user to customize some settings in real-time.
- GUI interface to installer
- Image file verification via md5sum
- Code Cleanups
- Allow alternate filename/URL for distribution

MIAMI (AP) — Maybe the St. Louis Cardinals were looking ahead to the Chicago Cubs.
In a matchup of worst versus first, NL Central leader St. Louis mustered only five hits Sunday and lost to the woeful Miami Marlins. 7-2.
The Cardinals dropped two of three games in Miami — the first series they've lost since April 26-28 against Pittsburgh. They went 5-4 on a three-city trip and open a homestand Monday against the traditional rival Cubs.
The Marlins climbed above .300 at 21-47, still baseball's worst record.
"We didn't see it," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "The team we saw is hitting the ball and making good pitches."
The Cardinals didn't do enough of either. Tyler Lyons (2-3), making his fifth major league start, lost for the third time in a row after winning his first two decisions.
Lyons gave up six runs in 5 1-3 innings.
"I made some mistakes with guys on base," the rookie said.
The Cardinals, who have the lowest ERA in the majors, gave up 19 runs in the series. Meanwhile, they managed just three hits and one run against Ricky Nolasco, who pitched seven innings.
St. Louis scored a run in the ninth and loaded the bases with two out, but Steve Cishek came to strike out pinch-hitter Matt Holliday looking to end the game.
Matheny liked the comeback bid.
"These guys have always shown that — they don't give up," Matheny said. "They keep coming. That will pay off in the long run."
Aside from the ninth inning, the Cardinals did little. All of their hits were singles, and with Holliday and NL batting leader Yadier Molina out of the starting lineup and given a day to rest, St. Louis went down in order in five of the first six innings.
Carlos Beltran finished 0 for 4 to end the longest active hitting streak in the majors at 14 games. Matt Carpenter was also hitless and went 7 for 38 (.184) on the trip.
Jon Jay and Matt Adams drove in St. Louis' runs. Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton made a leaping catch at the fence to rob Adams of an RBI and an extra-base hit in the seventh.
"With that lineup, probably among the top three in the league, you just have to stay focused," Nolasco said. "You can't lose concentration and leave balls over the middle, because they're just going to start crushing you. I was able to get away with some balls that they hit hard, and we had great defense at the same time, so it worked out."
A bout of wildness against the bottom of the order cost Lyons in the fourth inning. He hit Jeff Mathis, who was batting .128, and then Nolasco walked for the first time this year to load the bases. Juan Pierre followed with a two-out, two-run single for a 4-1 Miami lead.
Placido Polanco had three hits starting for the first time in five games after being sidelined by back stiffness. His two-out, two-run double in the fifth made it 6-1.
The abundance of offense was a refreshing change for Nolasco (4-7), who has endured the worst run support of any pitcher with at least 14 starts. Luxuriating in an early lead, he retired 11 in a row during one stretch.
"It helps a ton," he said. "It just changes everything and the way you pitch and your approach."
Pierre drove in two runs and had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, while Justin Ruggiano added a two-RBI single. The Marlins have won eight of the past 14 games, their best stretch this season.
"To get a win against such a great team and a great lineup, and to play as well as we did, that's a great day for all of us," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.
NOTES: Miami 1B Logan Morrison (back) took grounders before the game but sat out for the third day in a row. ... Lyons' six strikeouts were a career high. ... The crowd of 18,468 was the largest of the homestand. ... David Freese had one hit, but his lifetime average against the Marlins fell to .462 (18 for 39).

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector's Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below.
MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back.
NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles.
FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along.
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

KARNS CITY — The plan for a new scoreboard at Karns City High School was set in motion over a year ago.
With help from Diehl Automotive Group, it officially came to fruition Friday night.
Diehl bought the new scoreboard for the school district for $35,000 to $40,000.
Because of that, the athletic field at Karns City was dedicated on Friday as Diehl Stadium before the Gremlins' 49-12 football win over Moniteau.
The district last year upgraded the track and field complex, but there wasn't enough money for another major project.
"After (the track and field) completion, we think people started to realize the condition of the former scoreboard," said Karns City superintendent Eric Ritzert. "As we looked at its cost, we realized on top of the project itself, we couldn't afford it."
Bob Stiehler, a 1987 Karns City graduate, is the service director at Diehl Automotive and provided an idea for a possible solution.
While attending a junior high football game last year, Stiehler heard people discussing the need for a new scoreboard and ran into assistant football coach Brian Markle.
"I asked (Markle) if he had ever talked about going to any of the businesses around town (for funding), and he did and some of them really weren't receptive to it," said Stiehler.
Stiehler thought Corina Diehl, the president and owner of Diehl Automotive in Penn Township, might be willing to help.
"I went back to my car and got my phone, called Corina and within about 10 minutes on the phone, I had her really interested in it," said Stiehler. "It kind of snowballed really fast."
Diehl Stadium is the second high school complex in Butler County to be sold for the naming rights, with Seneca Valley's NexTier Stadium being the first.

The first night of the siege was relatively quiet.[49] Over the next few days, Mexican soldiers established artillery batteries, initially about 1,000 feet (300 m) from the south and east walls of the Alamo.[50] A third battery was positioned southeast of the fort.
Santa Anna posted one company east of the Alamo, on the road to Gonzales.[51][64] Almonte and 800 dragoons were stationed along the road to Goliad.[65]
At 10 p.m. on March 5, the Mexican artillery ceased their bombardment. As Santa Anna had anticipated, the exhausted Texians soon fell into the first uninterrupted sleep many had gotten since the siege began.[90] Just after midnight Mexican troops began preparing for the final assault.[91] The troops were divided into four columns, commanded by Cos, Colonel Francisco Duque, Colonel José María Romero and Colonel Juan Morales.[88][89] Veterans were positioned on the outside of the columns to better control the new recruits and conscripts in the middle.[92] As a precaution, 500 Mexican cavalry were positioned around the Alamo to prevent escape of either Texian or Mexican soldiers. Santa Anna remained in camp with the 400 reserves.[89][93]
At 5:30 a.m. troops silently advanced. Cos and his men approached the northwest corner of the Alamo,[92] while Duque led his men from the northwest toward a repaired breach in the Alamo's north wall.[95] The column commanded by Romero marched towards the east wall, and Morales's column aimed for the low parapet by the chapel.[95]
During the third strike, Romero's column, aiming for the east wall, was exposed to cannon fire and shifted to the north, mingling with the second column.[20] Cos's column, under fire from Texians on the west wall, also veered north.[102] When Santa Anna saw that the bulk of his army was massed against the north wall, he feared a rout; "panicked", he sent the reserves into the same area.[103]

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Thursday 106 new Medicare Accountable Care Organizations have been formed and approved by the government. In New Jersey, six were approved across the state.
Accountable care organizations are groups of providers working together to streamline care coordination for populations of patients while making care better and more affordable. The Medicare demonstration ACOs allow hospitals, physicians and other providers to share savings accrued by working together.
Dr. Adam Jarrett, chief medical officer at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, is now the executive director of the newly approved HNMC Hospital/Physician ACO. He said the hospital's ACO group is partnered with 150 staff physicians to implement the ACO.
"We think this is a good experiment that we wanted to be involved with, with Medicare, so we could understand how the ACO world works," Jarrett said.
He added that he's excited because for the first time, providers will be able to see the services provided by other health care providers for Medicare patients. Jarrett added that, while Holy Name has been able to work on keeping costs down within the walls of the building, the program allows collaborative efforts to keep costs down in the community.
Barnabas Health added a second Medicare ACO to its stable. The first was centered around hospitals and physicians in the northern part of the state; the ACO approved today is based around the company's Central Jersey providers plus CentraState Healthcare System's facilities and providers.
Also in Central Jersey, Meridian was approved to begin its ACO. Dr. Richard Scott, the executive in charge of implementing the program for the system, said the approval helps Meridian move forward with the recently announced Richard Hader Institute for Clinical Integration.
"The ACO is a big piece of that, it really continues the theme of delivering better integrated, more coordinated care for patients than certainly any health care system was used to," Scott said. "It certainly fits in with Meridian's overall strategy."
Scott said more than 500 clinicians affiliated with Meridian have signed on to participate in the ACO, including staff at each of the hospitals and at each provider facility in the system.
Scott said he's looking forward to rolling out increased IT and population management tools to the affiliated physicians through the ACO, so they have better information on patient risks and patient satisfaction.
In South Jersey, the Summit Health-Virtua ACO was approved Thursday, as well as the Atlanticare Health Solutions group.
Steven Blumberg, an senior vice president of AtlantiCare Health Solutions, said the addition of the CMS ACO to the system enhances the coordinated care programs already available through the system's employee program and Medicare Advantage.
"Being included in the Medicare shared savings program is a big leap forward for us," Blumberg said, adding that the model is gaining steam as more evidence is found that ACOs demonstrate the kind of quality improvements and cost savings suggested when originally proposed.
The sixth ACO, Accountable Care Network of New Jersey LLC, is one of three networks established by Walgreens, the national retail pharmacy chain. Walgreens established ACOs in Florida and Texas in addition to New Jersey. A call to Walgreens for comment was not returned before publication.
Four of the six ACOs contracted with QualCare Inc. to help with the application process. QualCare is in the process of spinning off the branch of the company that specializes in ACO applications into a separate company called Health-Lynx. AtlantiCare and Walgreens did not use QualCare.
In addition to the Barnabas North ACO, Atlantic Health, Hackensack University Medical Center and Optimus Healthcare Partners LLC had accountable care organizations approved by CMS in 2012.

In June 2010, the Board of Directors of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) formed a Task Force to undertake a comprehensive review of the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) and SIPC's operations and policies, and to propose reforms to modernize SIPA and SIPC.
Members of the Task Force included investor advocates, regulatory specialists, and academic experts. Also included was the Trustee for the liquidations of Lehman Brothers Inc. and MF Global Inc., as well as the former Chairman of the China Securities Investor Protection Corporation. A full list of the members is available in the Report.
The Task Force held a total of 14 meetings and set up two subcommittees to deal with major issue areas. Possible changes to SIPA were reviewed and debated. The Task Force was also acutely interested in hearing from the public. To that end, the Task Force created a Web site (formerly at http://www.SIPCModernization.org) to collect suggestions directly from the public. The Task Force also gathered extensive public input during two public forums, one held online in September 2010 and the other in person in New York City on June 1, 2011. In addition, the Task Force received in-person presentations and written contributions from investor education experts, representatives of the mutual fund industry, and other expert parties. The opinions of the public and the experts were all reviewed and considered by the Task Force when making its recommendations.
In February 2012, the SIPC Modernization Task Force issued its Report, containing 15 recommendations. The Task Force Report was presented to SIPC's Board of Directors for consideration. The Board noted that many of the recommendations made by the Task Force had been implemented and that other recommendations would require legislation which might not be appropriate at this time.

People with social anxiety disorder worry about embarrassing themselves in front of other people. Fears may be so serious that they can interfere with everyday activities. It may be very difficult for people with this disorder to interact with others. In some people, fear of social interaction may cause absences from school or work.
Common fears may include:
- Blushing or shaking in front of others
- Anxiety about meeting new people or giving a speech
This may accompany a belief that people are watching you and waiting for you to make a mistake. Anxiety can occur when on the phone, signing a check at the store, or using a public restroom. If you have social anxiety disorder, you worry about some events for weeks in advance. You may do anything to stay away from the situation.
Social anxiety disorder can be limited to only one type of situation, such as a fear of speaking in formal or informal situations, or eating or drinking in front of others. In its most severe form, you may experience symptoms almost anytime you are around other people.
Social anxiety disorder is common, affecting about 15 million Americans. It is equally common in men and women. The disorder typically begins in childhood or early adolescence and rarely develops after age 25.
The exact cause of social anxiety disorder is unknown. Possible causes include genetic factors, problems with regulation of chemicals in the brain, an imbalance of neurotransmitters or brain hormones, and past emotional trauma in social situations.
Social anxiety disorder often coexists with other mental disorders, such as substance abuse (alcohol use disorder or drug addiction), depression, or other anxiety disorders.What are the risk factors for social anxiety disorder?What are the symptoms of social anxiety disorder?How is social anxiety disorder diagnosed?How can I reduce my risk of social anxiety disorder?What are the treatments for social anxiety disorder?Are there screening tests for social anxiety disorder?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with social anxiety disorder?Where can I get more information about social anxiety disorder?

I am worried about the fact that the natural gas industry wants to transport used fracking water on barges on our country's rivers and lakes.
Do they know how many problems that could cause? What happens when one of those barges loaded with toxic, carcinogenic chemicals breaks loose — like they frequently do in Pittsburgh — and crashes into a bridge pier or dock? All of those chemicals are going to leak into our waterways and affect hundreds of miles of water and coastline, likely eventually working its way to the Gulf of Mexico.
It would result in fish kills and die-offs of aquatic plants and animals, and possibly render drinking water unsafe for an extended period of time.
Who's going to clean up the mess? The gas companies? The federal Environmental Protection Agency?
How about, instead of worrying about potential problems, we just tell them "no"?
What's being proposed is a ridiculous idea, and I hope the proper authorities at the Coast Guard realize this and deny the gas industry this outlandish request.
It's time to stop catering to these companies that already pollute our air when they flare wells, and our water with their toxic fracking, and destroy our landscape with their well pads.
Gas companies never should be allowed to transport fracking wastewater on our waterways.

Persons with serious mental illnesses (SMI) face elevated rates of medical comorbidity, and also challenges in effectively managing these health problems. There is an urgent need to develop self-management strategies that allow persons with SMI to more effectively manage their chronic medical illnesses.
In general populations, peer-led disease self-management interventions have been demonstrated to be feasible, effective, scalable, and to lead to sustainable improvements in self-management and health outcomes. With funding from an R34 intervention development grant from NIMH, the study team has developed and piloted a modified version of the most widely tested and used peer-led self management program, the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), for persons with serious mental illness. Two pilot tests of this intervention, the Health and Recovery Peer (HARP) program, demonstrated that the program can be implemented with high engagement, retention, and program fidelity, and can result in effect sizes across a range of outcomes comparable to or greater than those seen in general medical populations.
This application proposes to conduct a fully-powered, multisite trial of the HARP program. A total of 400 individuals with serious mental illnesses and one or more chronic medical condition will be recruited from three diverse community mental health clinics in the Atlanta metro region and randomized to the HARP program or usual care. For individuals in the HARP program, two peer educators with SMI and one or more chronic medical condition will lead a six-session, six-week manualized intervention, which helps participants become more effective managers of their chronic illnesses. Follow-up interviews and chart reviews at 3 months, 6 months and one year will assess changes in clinical outcomes, improvement in generic and disease-specific measures of illness self-management, and quality of care. During the final phase of the study, a dissemination strategy building on the CDSMP training infrastructure will allow program participants to lead HARP groups.
If successful, this study will establish the first fully peer-led, evidence-based intervention for improving physical self-management in this vulnerable population.

A University of Colorado student is facing extradition from Hawaii back to Colorado after being arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, according to Boulder police.
Nicholas Philip Foti, 21, was arrested Thursday in connection with allegations that he sexually assaulted a female acquaintance Sept. 15 in Boulder, police say.
The 19-year-old victim told police that Foti and another man came to her home in the early morning hours looking for one of her roommates, according to a news release issued Friday. She told police that Foti and the other man entered the residence without her permission and when Foti realized the victim was home alone, he sexually assaulted her.
The other man is believed to have witnessed the attack. The victim said that Foti and the other man called her obscenities during the incident, vandalized her kitchen and smashed a bicycle before leaving, according to police.
Though the alleged incident took place in September, Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said it was not reported to police until earlier this month.
"It's not unusual for victims of sexual assault cases to delay reporting," Kobel said. "It's obviously a very traumatic experience for them, and it takes time to come to terms with what has happened. We started investigating immediately."
Foti and two friends were arrested on animal cruelty charges in Boulder in November 2011 after witnesses said they killed a raccoon using a machete and baseball bat. Foti, who told police he was the first one to strike the animal, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor animal cruelty in August and was sentenced to 12 months of probation.
The CU website lists Foti as a student in the economics department.
He was in Hawaii visiting family when he was arrested.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Jack Gardner at 303-441-1851. Those who want to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or crimeshurt.com.

Matthew Thompson is a registrar at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Kan. He will present "From Fatherland to Farmland" at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Lansing Historical Museum, 115 E. Kansas Ave. in Lansing, during the museum's Kansas Day celebration.
1) How did your research for "From Fatherland to Farmland" begin? What initially piqued your interest in the subject? I've been interested in World War II for a long time; it was a major focus for me when I was a student and continues to be in my professional capacity at the Eisenhower Presidential Museum. I've found that one of the best ways to make history interesting to other people is to discuss it in a context that is engaging and relatable, so doing a project on a significant aspect of World War II that occurred right here in Kansas seemed like a potentially useful approach. 2) How long did it take you to put the presentation together? I worked incrementally over several months to prepare this program, but it continues to evolve as I keep discovering new sources of information. 3) How many German POWs were in the plains states at the time? Of approximately 700 total POW compounds in the United States during WWII, there were 16 in Kansas of varying sizes, plus the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. The largest POW camp in Kansas was at Concordia, which held about 4,000 Germans — both enlisted men and officers. A total of approximately 400,000 German prisoners were housed in the United States during the war. 4) Leavenworth County is the home of not only a military base, but also a military prison. Did your research yield any information about German POWs on Fort Leavenworth? Fort Leavenworth was home to the United States Disciplinary Barracks, which is where Axis POWs who were subjected to American courts martial could be sent. This generally referred to POWs who were charged with criminal behavior during an escape (although it's important to note that the act of escape itself was not a court-martial offense) or who committed crimes against American guards, civilians or other POWs. A total of 120 Germans and a small number of Italians were housed at the Disciplinary Barracks after being convicted of various crimes. After the war ended, prisoners who had completed their sentences were repatriated to their countries of origin via normal channels. However, 15 German POWs were sentenced to die at Fort Leavenworth (one of these was commuted to a prison term). The remaining 14 were hanged on a makeshift gallows that had been installed in the elevator shaft of a warehouse building. All of the death row prisoners at the USDB had been found guilty of murdering fellow Germans at regular POW camps in other parts of the country. This happened more often than people might expect, particularly during 1943-1944 and only a fraction of these incidents resulted in convictions. In almost all instances, the victims were POWs whose comrades believed they had behaved treasonously or dishonorably during the war or who harbored (or were merely suspected of harboring) defeatist or overtly anti-Nazi views. Camp Concordia, Kan., gained a particularly bad reputation for these problems during its first few months of operation. Three prisoner deaths occurred there that were deemed highly suspicious suicides or outright murders and the victims in each instance were prisoners who had run afoul of a cadre of ardent Nazi POWs who had taken charge. Once the US Army began more thoroughly and systematically vetting POWs and segregating the "incorrigible Nazis," the situation in the regular camps improved considerably. By the end of the war, Camp Concordia was seen as a model facility. 5) What do you take away from the story about the German POWs here? Although there are plenty of examples of American conduct toward defeated Germans that are less than stellar, I believe that overall the United States did an admirable job of following the Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war. Almost without exception, every interview and letter I've come across from German veterans who were detained in America reflects extremely favorably about their treatment in captivity and the extent to which their dignity and human rights were respected. Some Americans objected to our government's strict adherence to the Geneva Convention and it wasn't unusual for there to be accusations that POWs were coddled and spoiled. However, I believe this policy was instrumental in establishing a cultural and political dialogue between our two countries both during and after the war. I would also argue that the experiences many Germans had as POWs in America were influential in West Germany's success at rebuilding itself as a stable and peaceful democracy. If there's a contemporary lesson to be drawn from all of this, I would suggest there's a strong relationship between the way America treats its enemies and the way other people view America. An adjutant at Camp Concordia, Capt. Karl Teufel, wrote extensively about the camp's history, and he offers a very insightful epilogue: "Not only have we preserved the integrity of our national signature to treaties which others have regarded as 'scraps of paper', but we have also convinced the world that America's altruism is a real characteristic even in times of great national anger. Many Americans resent the operations of the Convention, but with the passage of time and the return of greater objectivity, America will be proud of having honestly and conscientiously fulfilled her pledged obligations, in face of many circumstances which would have extenuated more rigid action."

Deceptive in its simplicity, this window's unadorned façade is offset by wood and brick to become an integrated, geometric whole. A double gabled roofline on one side creates a balanced end point to the house, a sense of completeness. Angular detailing on the chimney top subtly echoes the shapes below.
Like a magic house of mirrors, this dramatic entryway appears to go on forever changing patterns and adornments but always maintaining its graceful arch. On guard in front, a spiny sentry flanked by four junior cacti stands proudly in a sandy island surrounded by inlaid brick walkway – the geometric design a striking contrast to the graceful arches beyond.
Symmetry reigns supreme at this front door. Matched pairs of terra cotta planters and wrought iron carriage lanterns appear as punctuation points on the surround's smooth, limestone tiles. Richly stained, double doors hint at welcoming coolness just beyond. Even nature has been tamed with twin topiary trees and sunny yellow flowers carefully balanced and meticulously shaped on either side.

One of my summertime readings was John Stossel's book, "No They Can't: Why Government Fails—But Individuals Succeed." Stossel, a journalist, Fox cable network host and avid libertarian, delves into a multitude of examples of how we intuitively run to government to solve problems.
In Stossel's book, he argues that we should abandon our beliefs that a government can cure all national ills and instead "retrain our brains to look at only the facts, to rethink our lives as independent individuals—and fast."
As I read through Stossel's take on some of our social issues and why our intuitions about them are wrong, it was apparent to me that there are many similarities in the financial services industry. Here are a few examples of intuition gone wrong as applied to the independent broker-dealer channel:
Intuition tempts me to believe that having extensive paperwork will protect reps and their broker-dealer. Reality taught me the only thing they'll be protected from is the ability to successfully recruit new advisors.
Efficient paperwork is becoming increasingly important to representatives. One rep we talked to, who holds a Ph.D. in financial planning, told us that his primary motivation in making a move to a new broker-dealer was to minimize paperwork.
He explained, "I sit down with a client, placing a large pile of forms in front of them. We go through each of the forms, but they don't read any of it; they sign where their signature is required. They sign the forms because they trust I have their best interest in mind. They don't want to read the forms because they're long and written in legalese. Ideally, I want my clients to be able to read and understand what they are signing rather than simply trusting me."
Excessive paperwork can make clients suspicious that someone is trying to either screw them over or confuse them, which makes the representative's job of building trust more difficult. The broker-dealers that "get it" keep most client account forms in the two- to four-page range.
Intuition tempts me to believe large broker-dealers are better able to supervise their reps because they have more compliance resources. Reality taught me reps are more likely to slip through the cracks at larger firms.
Smaller firms have the ability to know their reps much more intimately than larger firms do. We've heard numerous stories of smaller broker-dealers uncovering Ponzi schemes, flakey OBAs and similar fraudulent arrangements before they became big problems. We have yet to hear a similar story from a large firm—or from FINRA for that matter. This intimate relationship enables small and mid-sized broker-dealers to more readily uncover problems before they become news headlines.
Intuition tempts me to believe reps will make the most at a firm that offers the highest payout. Reality has taught me they'll make the most at a firm where they "net" the most.
You'd think this was common sense. However, reps are often blinded by payout rather than seeing the big picture. A lower administration fee on rep-directed advisory platforms is just one area where reps can net considerably more. Other savings can come from general costs such as E&O insurance, technology fees, whether the firm passes through SIPC/FINRA assessment fees, and audit fees.
The mind-set is so strong for reps to choose a 90% payout that when we come across broker-dealers that cap payout at 85%, we actually encourage them to raise expenses so they can afford to offer 90%, even though the rep would net more at the 85% payout with the broker-dealer's current cost structure. When recruiting, overcoming the lesser payout can be extremely difficult—intuition overrules the fact of netting more with the slightly lower payout.
Intuition tempts me to believe broker-dealer company policies will protect reps. Reality has taught me company policies protect broker-dealers from their own reps.
Company policies are often knee-jerk reactions to large arbitrations, or implemented because a FINRA audit went poorly. Experience shows that firms with extensive company policies are firms that have been in trouble with regulators frequently. Thus, to appease regulators, they come up with policies that will supposedly prevent current problems from reoccurring. Ideally, reps are better off with a firm that does what FINRA requires of them, but not much more. Reps are also better off with a firm that is not under FINRA's microscope, which is the environment where such policies are given birth.
Intuition tempts me to believe regulations can stop Ponzi schemes. Reality has taught me regulation will never be able to stop people motivated by deceit and chicanery.
Good markets will give rise to Ponzi schemes, and poor markets will lay naked such schemes. No matter what obstacles you put in place, someone will always figure out a way around the rules. Should we in turn have to supervise to the lowest common denominator and make everyone suffer for the few who choose to deceive? You would hope not, but that's the environment we are operating in today.
Intuition tempts me to believe the best way to assess a broker-dealer's compliance risk is to look at its compliance history on FINRA's website. Reality has taught me that looking at the compliance records of the reps at a firm will give a better picture of its compliance risk.
In a recent conversation with a broker-dealer president, the topic of broker-dealer acquisition surfaced. The firm was looking to acquire a small broker-dealer with a compliance record that was spotless. When they looked at the compliance record of the reps at the firm, a much different picture was revealed, as many of the advisors had multiple marks on their compliance record. Analysis of the reps at a firm can be a daunting task, especially for larger broker-dealers. To save time, focus first on looking at the reps in the home state of the broker-dealer. Representatives with numerous marks who require heightened supervision are more likely to get in with a firm in their home state. You can get lists of reps at a particular broker-dealer through lead companies such as SIE Stockbroker (www.siestockbroker.com). You can also look up reps with FINRA's BrokerCheck tool on its website (www.finra.org).
In doing one such analysis, I recently looked at a firm with more than 300 advisors. I focused on only the reps in their home state. The intent was to count the number of reps with three or more compliance marks (because three marks is a brick wall at many firms). The number came to 32. I had heard rumors over the years that this firm had numerous reps with problematic compliance histories, and this analysis more than confirmed the rumors.
Intuition tempts me to believe errors and omissions insurance will protect reps. Reality has taught me detailed paper trails, notes on conversations and financial decisions backed by a financial plan will do a much better job.
When customer complaints or trade errors occur, your broker-dealer often must battle with the errors and omissions carrier to cover you. Frequently, we hear of reps with a somewhat benign issue such as a trade error not getting covered by the E&O carrier, let alone something more serious like an unauthorized trade. A few firms still opt for a legal slush fund as an alternative to E&O insurance, with the premise that they can count on money set aside to cover reps' legal expenses. Being proactive with those things that are under your control will offer you much better protection in the big scheme of potential liability.
Intuition tempts me to believe that when most things are equal, reps should join the firm offering the most transition money. Reality has taught me unusually high forgivable notes equate to a pending sale of the broker-dealer or proprietary products and platforms.
When you see forgivable notes much above 20% of trailing 12-months production, what you are really seeing is a broker-dealer that will not be profitable on your business for six or more years. For this model to be fiscally worthwhile, the firm either needs to be sold in the next few years or it will make up the shortfall through proprietary product sales or platforms.
In their book "The Invisible Gorilla," authors Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons assert that intuitive beliefs are often mistaken ones that mask critically important limitations on our cognitive abilities. Benjamin Franklin's observation about extremely hard things suggests that we should question the intuitive belief that we understand ourselves well. Franklin expounds, "As we go through life, we act as though we know how our minds work and why we behave the way we do. It is surprising how often we really have no clue."

A recent poll of Oklahoma teachers, administrators and support staff conducted by Professional Oklahoma Educators (POE) shows support for the carrying of handguns by faculty on school campuses. 56 percent of respondents believe teachers should be able to be armed as long as they have their concealed carry permits and 68 percent believe administrators should be allowed to be armed under the same rule. Only 29.3 percent of respondents did not want teachers armed under any circumstances, with an even smaller number of respondents, 14 percent, indicating that administrators should never be armed.
"We must take whatever precautions are necessary to protect the innocent children in our state," said Ginger Tinney, POE executive director.
Some survey respondents commented that they believe schools are actually targeted because criminals know they are defenseless against attacks since firearms are off-limits.
In addition to support for armed teachers and administrators, survey respondents indicated by an overwhelming 74.8 percent majority that they want armed officers on duty on their campuses during school hours.
"The most often heard argument against hiring armed officers for every school site is the cost," said Tinney. "But, we must ask ourselves what the true cost may be if we fail to take steps to protect our schools."
Ultimately, survey respondents cited societal problems as the cause of so many recent acts of school violence. A lack of discipline, failing to teach character education, bullying, lack of parental involvement, mental illness and more were all mentioned as contributing factors.
"Several pieces of legislation have been filed this session to address school safety," said Tinney. "Professional Oklahoma Educators looks forward to working with legislators to help better protect our students and teachers."

Shared Passion: A Gift of the Stuart and Barbara Padnos Foundation Collection
Date and TimeTuesday, August 26, 2014
- Haas Center for Performing Arts » 1121 - GVSU Art Gallery
Throughout their long marriage, businessman and philanthropist Stuart Padnos and his wife Barbara amassed a notable collection of art filling their waterfront home in Holland, Michigan. The collection served as an overview of both European and American art of the twentieth century and as a legacy to the couple's evolving artistic aesthetic and wide range of interests. The couple's shared passion for collecting joined notable international names such as Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, Joan Miro and Paul Emile Pissarro with American regionalist artist Thomas Hart Benton, Childe Hassam, Grandma Moses and Mathias Alten.
The Stuart and Barbara Padnos Foundation gifted a significant portion of the couple's art collection to Grand Valley State University in 2013. Previously, in memory of his wife's adventurous and open-minded spirit, Stuart Padnos established the Barbara H. Padnos International Scholarship for Grand Valley students. In 2005, Stuart established the Stuart and Barbara Padnos Chair in Art and Design to promote the teaching of art at Grand Valley, and the exhibition space in the Calder Art Center was named to honor the couple's generosity and commitment to the arts.
The Fall Arts Celebration for the visual arts will be held on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, 5-7 p.m. For more information on the Fall Arts Celebration CLICK HERE or contact Linda VanDenBrink (616) 331-2185.

That trip I took down nostalgia lane recently reminded me that raising nine boys and one girl was no picnic — and I have the picture to prove it.
That trip I took down nostalgia lane recently reminded me that raising nine boys and one girl was no picnic — and I have the picture to prove it.
That one picture brings back a lot of memories. Those parents who have experienced rearing a whole crop of rowdy boys will attest to the fact that their antics can be hilarious at times.
The picture I'm talking about is a story in itself. Every parent knows that when it's too quiet, you smell a rat. That's how it was that afternoon, much too quiet. The door was closed to the bedroom where several of the boys slept in bunk beds. Of course, those bunk beds made it easy to reach the fan blades. I walked into the room, and to my great surprise, draped around the fan blades were several pairs of the children's underwear.
Five or six kids were sitting on the beds trying their best to hide grins. You know that grin — "It-wasn't-my-idea-to-do-this" kind of grin. There was no doubt in my mind that it was a combined effort on the part of every one of those little rascals. Okay, I couldn't help it. I had to laugh. I still laugh when I see that fan with all that underwear attached — no two pairs alike.
Lest you think that they were up to no good because there was nothing else to do, let me clarify that. The older of those boys often prepared supper for us. Back then, it was hastily prepared, simple meals. There was no money for fancy fixings, so it was just the basics. However, I didn't have to cook it, so I found it was always tasty. Oh, by the way, what we call "supper" is now called "dinner," and what we call "dinner" is now called "lunch." Confusing, isn't it?
Today, this child is married and comes over every now and then to cook for us. He has all the little extras to make mouth-watering meals, and one of his brothers followed suit, also cooking great meals for us and inviting guests over to sample the delicious meal he prepared. They just don't come over often enough because they live quite some distance away.
If they think their cooking, no matter how delicious it is, will make me forget about those pieces of underwear draped over the fan blades, they can forget it. That picture is indelibly printed on my brain.
The daughter I mentioned, our only daughter, was kept too busy cleaning house and washing clothes to get into any mischief. Besides, she was always trying to keep her brothers in line. I can remember that precious little child using the vacuum cleaner when she was about 5, cleaning the baseboards and all. She is still a very thorough housekeeper and comes over to help me quite often.
My husband, bless his heart, would starve to death in his own kitchen if I and the kids had never learned to cook. A couple of times he tried to make breakfast for me when I was sick, but that really didn't work out too well. However, I knew better than to complain.
The boys used to cut the grass and do odd jobs. When they were old enough some got jobs as newspaper delivery boys. When they got older and went to college they paid their own way by getting scholarships, grants and student loans. I honestly believe that was good for them. It taught them responsibility and made them realize the importance of studying.
The boys who went to college also worked around their college classes. By the time they went to college they had shed their childish ways and no longer felt the urge to drape their underwear over the fan blades.
But even today, looking at that picture can take me out of the doldrums.

Get an Edge This Season With Trail Cameras
If you're looking for maximum action and excitement, you can't go wrong with hunting cameras. Employing game cameras can result in capturing wildlife's most elusive species this year. Figuring out where and when to set up your hunting blind is half of the battle.
By securing a little bit of technology this season, you could be the talk of opening day when you take down multiple bucks thanks to your research. There are many advantages to using trail cameras, but efficiency is at the top of the list. What you may not have considered is how such high productivity can be rewarding.
Some benefits of trail cameras include:
Saving Time
You should keep in mind that saving time means you have a better chance of coming home with a larger haul. It's not all about spotting the biggest species; it's also about identifying the highest traffic areas. Whether you're taking your youngster out for their first hunt, or just looking for a quick kill, a deer camera can help.
You'll find the most popular areas of your hunting grounds and notice patterns of behavior that will lead to a successful trip. Forget stumbling around the woods while waiting for a straggler or two to pass through your line of sight. You can immediately find the best region for results by simply setting up a few game cameras.
Better Results
Sure, it's not all about taking home the biggest rack, but that's definitely half of the fun. Post a few trail cams and then sit back and relax. The days of wondering whether that eight-point is still wandering around the woods are over. A few hours' worth of video will deliver your answer without even having to step foot outside. The next step is to post up at his favorite spot and wait.
Excitement of all Kinds
Game cameras are great for catching your target on film, but they are even better for viewing the unexpected. You'll be amazed at the beauty of your surroundings after watching just a few minutes of your hunting camera footage. Obviously, the goal is to bring back a trophy, but if an all-day hunt is what you look forward to, a trail cam can help locate the best spot for a peaceful and extraordinary reprieve from the real world. Take in all of the natural beauty while waiting for your mark to venture by.
Fit Your Needs and Your Budget
From wireless Bluetooth technology to simple battery-powered, SD card operating cameras, there's a trail cam for you. Just select the best fit from our wide array of hunting cameras and get your season started right. Choose from the most recognizable brands and the most advanced features or opt for something lower key to experiment with. Either way, there are plenty of options to consider.
- Top-notch speed and quality: Never worry about missing out thanks to the lightning quick 0.2-second trigger speed of our most advanced trail cameras. Capture the excitement through multi-image mode, 60-plus foot ranges, and No-Glow black LED features. A simple glance through our products reveals the highest quality trail cameras on the market.
- Comfortable technology: Prefer the use of a memory card? We've got hunting cameras that fit your needs. Would you rather have a stream sent to your mobile device? Select from one of our many wireless-capable deer cameras. How about something with a USB hookup? Yep, we have that too.
- Crystal clear images: A hunting camera wouldn't be much good without clear pictures. Enjoy HD photos and videos, low-light sensors, and blur reduction technology in many of our products.
With so many choices, you can't go wrong when selecting trail cams from Sportsman's Warehouse. Enjoying your best season yet is as easy as picking the hunting camera that best suits your needs. Don't wait any longer!

Register of restraint and seclusion, London, England, 1948
Psychiatric hospital staff recorded which patients had been physically restrained or kept in seclusion, and for what reasons. This empty register is probably a spare copy. Details noted were the means and duration of restraint, the name and sex of the patient, and whether they were a temporary or certified patient. The register outlines the Lunacy Act of 1830. This introduced government oversight of private asylums to prevent some of the worst abuses. It includes the regular amendments issued throughout the first half of the 1900s. This reminded hospital staff how far psychiatric institutions had improved since the early 1800s. It reinforced the fact excessive unjustified use of restraints and extended periods of seclusion were illegal. The first significant drug treatments appeared in mental hospitals in the mid-1950s. Restraint and seclusion were lessened, but never eliminated.
