Steamshots lets you take screenshots in games, upload them to the Steam Community and share them with others on Steam and outside of it.
Because the app doesn't directly capture screenshots, it doesn't require root privileges. Instead, it listens to changes in the images database of your device, so you can take the screenshots by pressing your device's default screenshot key or key combination (such as Volume Down + Power).
The app WILL REQUEST YOUR STEAM PASSWORD. However, because it's open source (you can find the GitHub link below), you can see what happens to your account information and recompile it if you want. When you add your account, the password is sent to the Steam main server located at cm0.steampowered.com:27017, and then it's gone (instead, a login key is stored on your device). The login key is used to login to upload screenshots (the cloud server address is obtained from the main server at cm0.steampowered.com:27017).
All communication with Steam is encrypted with AES-256 and RSA-1024. Only Valve has the RSA private key to decrypt the random AES key.
There are no ads or any other forms of monetization.
This app works on 4.0+ devices with screenshot support (screenshots must have Screenshot_yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss name). The app has been developed and tested on LG Nexus 4 and ASUS Trasformer Pad TF300T.
Many thanks to Netshroud and VoiDeD for SteamKit and extensive information about the Steam protocol.

The Staff of the SEC's Division of Investment Management issued IM Guidance Update 2013-12 in which the Staff "encourages investment advisers and funds' boards of directors to carefully evaluate any fund name that suggests safety or protection from loss and to consider whether a name change is appropriate to address any potential for investor misunderstanding." The IM Guidance Update reflects the Staff's determination to "object to names that may create an impression of protection or safety or absence of risk of loss, where the name does not include qualifying language that defines the scope and limits of such protection." As a consequence, during the disclosure review process, the Staff has requested that some existing and new funds change their names. The Staff's concerns articulated in the IM Guidance Update focus on two particular types of funds that include "protected" in their names:
The IM Guidance notes that the Staff has requested name changes in situations where a fund's prospectus explains limitations on loss protection not reflected in the fund's name because the Staff believes that "in practice, investors sometimes focus on a fund's name to determine the fund's investments and risks, either because the name sometimes appears without the clarifying prospectus disclosures (e.g., in advertisements) or because of the prominence of a fund's name or for other reasons."

NIST advises on HSPD-12 integration
Monday - 12/15/2008, 7:57pm EST
By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
With more than 1.6 million secure identification cards in employee and contractor hands, agencies are turning their attention to how best to use them.
Many agencies have pilot programs to use their Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 cards for either physical or logical access. For instance, the Department Housing and Urban Development is testing logical access control starting in the chief information officer's office.
The Agriculture and State departments, and NASA are among the agencies taking the lead to use their HSPD-12 cards for physical access control. In fact, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology is receiving a lot of questions about how best to implement physical access control systems.
"Most agencies have physical access control systems in place and those systems need to be integrated with [HSPD-12] card," says Bill McGregor, NIST's Personal Verification Identification (PIV) coordinator. "Now is the time for advice."
NIST issued its advice in a special publication 800-116, A Recommendation for the Use of PIV Credentials in Physical Access Control Systems, last month to give agencies help in implementing these systems.
McGregor says physical access control system is a natural place to start because so many agencies already are using them.
The guidance offers agencies 20 suggestions for how to proceed with implementing these systems.
McGregor says two important recommendations include developing a project management plan to include milestones, cost and performance data.
Agencies also should find a mentor, including State, NASA or USDA, who has some experience in integrating these systems.
"They can offer advice for planning and processes," he says.
McGregor also recommends starting small with a test or small program and growing the implementation.
To that end, NIST developed a maturity model so can measure their progress.
The model includes five stages:
- Stage 1: Test the physical access control system in a lab environment or small scale demonstration to gain familiarity with the process;
- Stage 2: Placing HSPD-12 authentication system at the front gate for employees from other agencies and contractors to use;
- Stage 3-4-5 are all related: Stage 3 is to use HSPD-12 authentication at the most secure areas, known as exclusion areas;
- Stage 4: Use HSPD-12 cards to access medium security, or limited areas
- Stage 5: Use the cards for physical access for the entire facility, known as controlled areas.
McGregor says the idea of exclusion, limited and controlled areas is borrowed from the Army.
"We needed a model to make risk or impact based recommendations," he says. "From controlled to limited to exclusion, you are protecting assets of greater value in each one."
McGregor says this guidance likely will be updated next year with lessons learned from agency implementations.
"The document really does offer recommendations for particular PIV mechanisms and establishes criteria to choose from," he says.

We have the room you need for your family. We finished our walk out basement with a game room to give the kids and the kids at heart a place to retreat. The three bedrooms are set up with one Queen (master bedroom), two Full size beds. There are also 2 twin beds and a futon in the basement. The winter view at night is highlighted by Camelback Ski Area. Northridge at Camelback is directly across from the ski mountain/water park and is close to all the seasonal amenities in the town of Tannersville. We are a family owned operation, we care that you enjoy your stay in our home, and we will make every effort to provide you with the best accommodations for your dollar. This is not a timeshare or corporate owned unit. We live here too, and we visit often to insure everything is functioning properly and in good condition.
Keywords: Townhouse
The Holman family has owned, operated and enjoyed this getaway home for several years. Our friends, family and guests have spent numerous weekends creating lifetime memories. We encourage you to send us photos of your stay and we will include them in our photo album.
Steve and Charlene Holman purchased this townhome in 2003
Are you kidding Me? You will have to ask Charlene the story behind our purchasing this beautiful retreat.
Light the fire and kick back to enjoy your stay. Just power down your cell phone and you are in heaven. No hassle, no rush, no schedule to bother you. Unless you want to try tubing, boarding, skiing, horseback riding, golfing, fishing, rafting, kayaking, shopping, gambling......
Thank You for giving us the opportunity to rent your home for the weekend! My friends and I had a great time! The house was absolutely lovely, comfortable, clean, and loaded with anything we could've possibly need for the weekend! We didn't even have to bring our own wood for the fireplace, which was great! The kids had fun with all the different games and hopefully next time us, the adults, will take more advantage of the game room :) The house was also located 2 min drive from the ski slopes and tubing which is very convenient for families with kids. Communicating with the homeowners Steve & Charlene was very easy as well! They replied and answered questions fast and made transactions very smooth!
We would definitely rent from them again!!!
Great Home. Very nice and well kept. Walking through the front door it felt very homey and welcoming. The location is Great 2min drive to the Ski/Tubing area, and the brewery which was awesome. The homeowner made the transaction very EASY and convenient which is always great. We look forward to staying here again for sure!
Beautiful home away from home. Felt welcomed as soon as we walked through the door. Very clean and well maintatined. The community is close to all you need for a fun filled vacation. The homeowner was very responsive to e-mails and promptly returned the security. Will absolutely be staying here again!
Very clean ans spacious rental just minutes away from lifts. Kitchen stocked very well with everything needed for cooking. We had close to 30" of snow while we were there which made it hard to get out and around, but being so close to the mountain was perfect and there was plenty of room, TV's, games etc. for us to just relax around the house and keep the kids busy. There was also two sleds in the ski closet which was great for the kids to use when not skiing. Perfect rental - can't wait to come back, one of our best family vacations. Steve and Charlene were amazing through the whole booking process and were there to answer any questions immediately - they truly care that you enjoy your stay!
Camelback is quickly becoming our family's favorite vacation spot, now having visited 3 times over 6 months in summer, fall and winter. There is something to do all year round and the location is PERFECT. It's directly across from Camelback Mountain Resort which has great skiing and tubing in winter and a fantastic water park in summer. Their is an outlet mall, as well as a supermarket and several very nice restaurants within a 10 minute drive from the house. It's also only 2 hours from Long Island and the tri state area. The home is spacious and very well kept and the owners are extremely responsive and great to work with. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and the finished basement is great for working out (I brought a road bike and a stationary trainer and my wife did her yoga). Our 8 year old son loved the foosball table and the air hockey. It's perfect for one to two families for a long weekend or an extended stay.WE were already discussing our next visit before we left to return home. I'd highly recommend this rental to anyone considering this area.
We came with a group of four kids - two 5 year olds and two three year olds - and four adults. We found the location to be perfect as it was set in a neighborhood community with very little traffic but had accessibility to the main road that led you straight to Camelback Mountain. We went during MLK weekend and we loved our stay here - the basement is perfect for the kids (complete with air hockey and foosball tables) and the kitchen and upstairs are well apportioned so that everything you need is set up once you arrive. The grocery store and outlet malls are right down the street. Everything was clean and the owners made the process very easy - they were responsive to emails and we received the keys in an orderly and prompt fashion. We loved it and will definitely come back again!

State told to shrink its inmate population
Federal judges fault prison health care
State prisons by the numbers
150,000: Prisoner population
40,000: Court-ordered reduction
80,000: Designed capacity
110,000: Desired population
SACRAMENTO A federal judicial panel yesterday ordered California to reduce its prison population by 40,000 to improve treatment of ailing and mentally ill inmates, saying there is no other way to bring the system's medical care up to adequate standards.
The judges said that reducing prison crowding in California was the only way to change what they called an unconstitutional prison health care system that causes one unnecessary death a week.
"California's prisons are bursting at the seams and are impossible to manage," the judges wrote.
The special three-judge panel – Stephen Reinhardt of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Lawrence K. Karlton and Thelton E. Henderson, two federal district court judges from California – gave the state 45 days to develop a plan to reduce the number of inmates from 150,000 to 110,000 over two years.
About 8,000 additional inmates have been sent to prisons in other states, and nearly 10,000 more are in conservation camps and community correctional facilities.
The judges said the billions of dollars the state has spent on prisons have not kept inmates from dying regularly from suicides or medical neglect.
Federal courts previously found that the level of care was so poor that it violated inmates' constitutional rights. Conditions remain so cramped that they are leading to increased violence and speed the transmission of infectious diseases, the judges said.
"The medical and mental health care available to inmates in the California prison system is woefully and constitutionally inadequate, and has been for more than a decade," the judges wrote.
Yesterday's action formalized the panel's tentative ruling in February and follows a federal court hearing that ended in January.
Legal experts said the order was the largest state prison reduction ever imposed by a federal court over the objection of state officials.
The Schwarzenegger administration will appeal but may need to wait until the judges enter a final order, corrections Secretary Matthew Cate said.
Cate called the order a dangerous precedent that oversteps the judges' authority. Though he agreed that California prisons are overcrowded, he said conditions have improved in recent years.
"It's something that the state should do itself, as far as fix our problems," Cate said. "I think we're doing that."
Republican legislators also have promised a separate appeal. Under a 1996 federal law that restricts judges' actions in inmate rights cases, appeals will go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"This is clearly some federal judges trying to intervene in the state of California with disregard with what the impact is going to be on communities," said state Sen. George Runner, R-Lancaster, who has authored several anti-crime ballot initiatives. "Those are dangerous felons these justices are asking to be released into our communities, and I'm sure none of them are going to be living next to their houses."
The judges yesterday ruled that the system violates the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
The panel described a chaotic system where prisoners were stacked in triple bunk beds in gymnasiums, hallways and day rooms; where single guards often monitored scores of inmates at a time; and where ill inmates died for lack of treatment.

Date/Time: June 15th, 3:00 p.m. ET
Television: ESPN3.com
Soccer Betting Odds from WagerWeb Sportsbook
Asian Handicap: Brazil -1.5 (-130)
Total: 3 (Over -115)
The Confederations Cup kicks off on Saturday afternoon, as the host nation of the event, Brazil takes on Japan in a battle of two teams that probably shouldn't be sharing a pitch with one another. The soccer betting lines come off the board at 3:00 p.m. ET with this match that takes place at the Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha in Brasilia, Brazil.
Obviously, the hosts are going to be under a heck of a lot of pressure to get the job done in the first match of this tournament. It doesn't matter that this is a secondary tournament by any stretch of the imagination. The Brazilians want to see their team win and win at all costs. Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has put together a squad that looks absolutely nothing like the team that was at the Confederations Cup four years ago. Julio Cesar will once again be the team's net minder, but aside from him and Dani Alves, there isn't another man on the squad from 2009 that is going to be playing here in the homeland for the Confederations Cup. We haven't seen much out of the Brazilians, knowing that they are already automatically qualified for the World Cup as the host nation, but with names like Oscar, Hulk, and of course the now famous Neymar, there is plenty of firepower to account for goals in this tournament.
Ironically, there is only one other team in the entire world that has assured that it will be playing in the World Cup this year, and that other team is none other than Japan. The Japanese already have 17 points and a +11 goal differential in the AFC World Cup Qualifying Group, and that ensures that they are going to be in the biggest tournament in the world. The Samurai Blue have an Italian tactician as a coach in Alberto Zaccheroni, and he figures to come up with a game plan that will take this team into the knockout stage of the Confederations Cup. Keisuke Honda has become a legendary name in Japanese soccer, and he is back in form after missing all of the opening qualifying matches in the first stage of the competition in Asia. Alas, the Japanese outscored Jordan and Oman by a combined score of 9-0, which got qualifying for the major tournament off on the right foot. The team runs a 4-2-3-1, which looks awfully similar to the form that the United States has been using in its quest to qualify for the World Cup. Shinji Kagawa is an internationally known name now that he is with Manchester United while Ryoichi Maeda is turning into a great goal scorer for the club as well as the man at the top of the formation.
We think that this is going to be a great match for the Samurai Blue. These two have played nine matches against each other in the past, and Brazil has never been beaten. It doesn't have to be this time around, as even a one-goal win for the host nation gives us enough for the cover. Japan won't back down, and it should end up with at least a respectable result.
Brazil vs. Japan Pick: Japan +1.5 (+100)

Spacious clean and comfortable
Accurate description, clean, nice amenities. The rental went smoothly. The living room tv next to the fireplace was not an hdtv, and did not have cable, just antenna channels. Not that big a deal. We enjoyed the gas fireplace, the heated floor tiles and the big kitchen with dishwasher! The bed was comfortable, too. Good location, near many shopping centers and restaurants. We visited Mall of America one day. We also visited the frozen Minnehaha Park waterfall and hiked around behind it, which was pretty cool. I would recommend this property and may end of back here again someday!

Executive Committee of the American Institute of Physics
Minutes of Meeting
February 7, 1947
Present: Messrs. Paul E. Klopsteg (Chairman), L. A. DuBridge, K. S. Gibson, G. B. Pegram, Wallace Waterfall.
Guests: Messrs. G. P. Harnwell and E. Hutchisson (for part of meeting.)
AIP Staff: Messrs. H. A. Barton and T. Vorburger.
In accordance with notices sent by authority of the Chariman, the Committee met at 9:40 a.m., on February 7th in the office of the Institute at 57 East 55 Street, New York.
1. Minutes
The minutes of the meeting of December 5, 1946 were approved as circulated after the personnel of the Committee to Find an Editor under item 6. of those minutes was amended to include the name of Mr. G. P. Harnwell.
2. Report of Director:
The Director reported briefly on the following:
Nucleonics Journal: The Committee's decision at its last meeting not to publish a journal on "Nucleonics" had been transmitted to Dr. Seymour Katcoff who presented the original proposal.
Biophysics Journal: A recent luncheon meeting consisting of about 26 prominent biophysicists, had resulted in a proposal that there should be published, perhaps by the American Institute of Physics but in cooperation with the American Physiological Society and other groups, a review and abstract journal of biophysics; that he had no recommendations to make until after further conferences with interested persons.
The appointed AIP delegate, Dr. F. V. Hunt, on the Advisory Board of Applied Mechanics Reviews might have to be replaced if his inability to attend meetings continues.
The proposal submitted by the Institute to the international organization for the publication of Acta Cystallographica had been rejected, and the proposed journal will be published in England.
There were no further developments regarding the proposal made originally by the Atlantic Monthly and reported in the minutes of October 4, 1946.
Results of the efforts of the Committee on Financing the New Journal as of February 6, 1947 were the following:
24 companies had contributed $7,075.00 4 companies had pledged – 1947 $1,225.00 1 company had pledged – 1948 $375.00 Total $8,675.00 Negative replies 38 Contributor 24 Pledges 4 Total 66 Total Mailing 732
An announcement about the amendment to the AIP Constitution would be released in a few days in the January issue of The Review of Scientific Instruments and that reprints of the announcement would be mailed to the entire AIP membership.
Negotiations with the Oxford Paper Company had allayed the fears that there would again be a shortage of paper for the journals after February. After about March, machine coated paper will be used in all journals now using 60 or 70 lb. seal-coated.
One of the proposals resulting from a recent Editorial Committee meeting held at the Institute was to raise the per page publication charge from $3.00 to $4.00. Following discussion it was on motion voted:
That the Executive Committee of the American Institute of Physics place the Editorial Committee's recommendation to increase the publication per page charge from $3.00 to $4.00 before the councils of the Member Societies of the Institute and urge unanimity of action and adoption.
The Committee further recommended that for reasons of urgency the governing bodies of the Member Societies be asked to take action by mail ballot if no meetings were scheduled in the immediate future.
A decision had been made not to hold a Placement Office at the meeting of the American Physical Society to be held in Montreal, Canada, in June.
3. AIP Retirement Plan:
Mr. Vorburger pointed out that there were two employees who, because of age, were not eligible for inclusion in the Retirement plan and requested suggestions as to the handling of the prospective obligation in their cases which may come to rest on the Institute. He reported that he was investigating informal arrangements with loan associations which might offer a means for the Institute to save systematically a fund with which to provide some kind of a pension in these two cases. No recommendation was made at this time but it was agreed that the matter should be discussed further at another meeting after further investigation by Mr. Vorburger.
It was reported that due to certain technical provisions in the Retirement Trust Agreement for the Employees of the American Institute of Physics, it had not been possible to make the agreement effective as of November 1st, 1946, the date voted by mail ballot of the Governing Board of the Institute on October 9, 1946.
It was on motion voted
That the effective date of the Retirement Trust Agreement to be changed from November 1, 1946 to December 1, 1946.
4. Report of Committee on Advertising Rates and Policies:
Mr. Waterfall, Chairman of the Committee on Advertising Rates and Policies, read from a report the final conclusions and recommendations of his Committee, copy of which is attached.
After consideration it was on motion voted unanimously:
That the Report of the Committee on Advertising Rates and Policies be approved and that new advertising contracts embodying the new rates should be put into effect as soon as the Director considers it feasible.
5. Assistance to Treasurers of Member Societies:
Upon motion made, seconded, and unanimously carried, the Committee
RESOLVED that the Institute render on request collection, mailing-list and other services to the Treasurers of the Societies, the cost of such services to be billed to the respective Societies.
(Messrs. Harnwell and Hutchisson joined the meeting at approximately 11:00 a.m.)
6. 1947 page estimates for RSI and JAP:
Mr. Harnwell reported that the Editorial Board of the RSI had held a meeting on January 30th to discuss what the plans of the Review should be. He stated that the Review is still carrying sections on the current and professional interest material of a nature appealing broadly to the membership of the Institute rather than specifically to persons having special interest in instruments. It is also still carrying contributed and invited articles of general interest. These articles and sections would be more appropriate to the new journal Physics but the date on which such articles would be transferred to the new journal is contingent upon its establishment. The Editorial Board was of the opinion that the present surge of contributed papers would continue and it was suggested that the members of the Board informally stimulate through their colleagues and other laboratories the preparation of instrument articles in fields of particular current interest. The question of what sections, if any, should be retained after the new journal Physics is established was discussed and it was the feeling of the Board that the sections on New Materials and New Instruments were both appropriate and should be continued. Certain other sections were more applicable to the new journal, and it had been decided that the Current Literature of the Review should be discontinued when the new journals are now being published and the section had fulfilled its purpose. Further, the Board had agreed not to establish an abstracts section. Summing up, Mr. Harnwell stated that the plans for the RSI, based on the Board's deliberations, are to continue it as an instrument journal, with a number of appropriate sections, as soon as the new journal is established. He estimated that the number of pages for 1947 would be approximately 1000 plus advertising.
Mr. Hutchisson reported that the number of papers received by the JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS has increased and showed charts of papers received in various years, which revealed that papers received in 1946 more than doubled those received in 1941. Although much war material is being received, the subscription list has also increased and he believes that the receipt of so many papers cannot be regarded solely as a war phenomenon. It is thus to be expected that a larger number of pages must continue to be allocated. He believed the estimated figure of 1200 pages for 1947 ought to be sufficient.
7. Increase in Subscription Prices – RSI and JAP:
It was pointed out that because of increased costs in printing and handling, it might be necessary to raise the subscription rate of $5.00 to members and $7.00 for non-members for the JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, and $3.00 for members, and $5.00 for non-members for THE REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS. After discussion and upon motion made by Mr. Du Bridge it was unanimously voted
That the current subscription rates for the JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS and THE REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS be increased one dollar per year for both members and non-members effective with subscriptions received after July 1, 1947.
8. Proposed Physics Abstracts Study:
Mr. Hutchisson presented a proposal which had resulted from his chairmanship of a committee of the APS to study the inadequate coverage of Physics Abstracts. The proposal (distributed at the meeting and copy attached to the official minutes) embodied the suggestion that the Institute should undertake a comprehensive survey of the most appropriate method of abstracting physical literature. Following discussion, and in view of the concurrence of the President and Treasurer of the American Physical Society who were present, it was on motion voted unanimously
That the American Institute of Physics seek from Government or other sources the funds to carry out the project as proposed, and that the Director be authorized to negotiate a contract along the lines proposed.
9. Election of Associates:
The following corporations were unanimously elected Associates of the Institute:
- Edmund Salvage Company
- General Precision Laboratory
The Director reported the loss of five Associates at December 31, 1946 and stated that the present number of Associates was 81.
10. Date of Governing Board Meeting:
The date of the annual meeting of the Governing Board was set for March 25, 1947.
11. Award for Public Service Related to Physics:
The Director read a statement on the proposed award for public service related to physics. This proposal was tabled.
(Mr. DuBridge left the meeting at 12:20 p.m. and the members adjourned for lunch at 12:32, reconvening at 1:20 p.m.)
12. Occupancy Permit:
In view of the possibility that a considerable expenditure would be necessary in order to remodel the physics building to obtain a permanent occupancy permit, a sum of $20,000 was transferred from Surplus to the Building Reserve account at the request of the Director just before the end of the fiscal year.
On motion it was voted
That the action of the Director is transferring the sum of $20,000 from Surplus to the Building Reserve account be approved.
The Executive Committee reviewed changes in the building suggested by a consultant which it is believed would give the Institute a permanent occupancy permit. Costs on making these changes will be obtained for later action by the Committee.
13. Policy on Associate Members:
After discussion, it was
RESOLVED that the Committee's action on December 5, 1946 with regard to inauguration of Associate Memberships to be amended to read as follows:
To recommend that the Governing Board resolve by mail ballot:
That Associate Memberships in the American Institute of Physics under the new Constitution be established immediately, waiving all but $1.00 of the regular dues for the year 1947 in the case of those applying before the first issue of the journal Physics is mailed, and
That the Chairman be empowered to appoint immediately the Committee called for by Rule IX, Section 1 to approve the election of Associate Members.
In the event the above action is approved by the Governing Board, the Chairman requested the Director and the Secretary to be this Committee.
14. Study of Needed Changes in the Rules:
Mr. Barton stated that there is need for further changes to be made in the Rules and upon motion of Mr. Pegram it was voted to appoint a sub-committee consisting of the Director, the Secretary and the Attorney for the Institute to make the necessary study and report their recommendations to the Governing Board.
15. Circulation of Executive Committee Minutes:
The Committee voted that copies of its minutes should be transmitted to members of the Governing Board beginning with the first meeting held following the March 25th meeting of the Governing Board.
16. Employer-professional employee relations:
Mr. Barton reported on correspondence he had had with a group of RCA (Camden) physicists who are being urged to join a professional employee "protective" association and who had appealed to the Institute for aid in the matter. After discussion it was suggested that the Director should get information as to the position of the engineering societies in similar cases applying to engineers.
17. Date of next meeting:
The date of the next meeting was set tentatively for March 24th to be held in the afternoon or evening, providing it proves necessary to hold such a meeting at all.
(Mr. DuBridge rejoined the meeting at 3 p.m.)
18. Budget for 1947:
A proposed budget for 1947 was introduced and considered at length by the Committee.
It was on motion voted unanimously:
That the budget be adopted as revised by the Committee, and be reported to the Governing Board for its information.
A copy of the budget is attached to these minutes.
It was suggested that the Budget should be reviewed by the Executive Committee from time to time during the year. The Treasurer is authorized to make expenditures for various items covered by the Budget up to the limit specified in the Budget. Where greater expenditures for any item appear necessary, the funds may be transferred from the Contingency Fund at the joint discretion of the Treasurer and the Director.
19. Attitudes on National Science Legislation:
Mr. Barton reported that the Institute had been invited to be represented, or at least to send observers, to the Inter-Society Committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, formed for the purpose of considering legislation for the establishment of a National Science Foundation. The Committee considered it proper for the Institute to be represented on such a committee providing that no appropriation is required and no political lobbying is involved.
20. Adjournment:
The meeting adjourned at 3:55 p.m.

Does a teenager really need a car?
Now, I'm 16 and I now have my lovely drivers license. I absolutely love driving, and any opportunity I get I drive. I'm constantly being regarded as a safe driver (I've even gotten an award for it).
Despite my love of driving, I don't actually own my own car. I can only drive my mom's, and she's at work all week, leaving me to find rides here and there. She's also made it clear she isn't just going to buy me a car, and since we only have 1 car in the family (it's just us), I'm probably not going to get one soon.
Now, I'm perfectly okay that I'm not just going to get a car. Would I like one? Yes, but I'm not gonna throw fits. One thing that I did question was why. I mean, I know it's not a financial issue, so I was curious if it was a responsibility issue, a grade issue, or something like that. (I should have made a clarification, she also has expressed she doesn't really want me owning a car at my age)
The answer I got from my mom was that she doesn't think 16 year olds should even have cars. I understand her viewpoint too, as sometimes I have to beg her to let me get a ride home from school when I miss the bus (for making up work, etc.) so I don't have to wait till 5 when she gets off work to come and get me.
This made me think, what do others think about the idea. Do you think teens should have cars? Should they not? Should they even be able to drive? If a teen should have a car, what do you think qualifies that teen to have one? Would you just give a car to your teen or what would you require out of them? Personally I think that if a teen is safe enough, responsible enough, and have means of paying the parent back (which sadly I lack that part), I think it's fine.
Just satisfying my curiosity; I just want to hear different responses.

I have a car, but mainly use it to get to work and school. I would say to get a job somewhere and earn some money and find a used one online.
|May 16, 2013, 04:54 PM
In some cases yes, at least access to a car. When I was a senior in High School, they dropped the football program and allowed players to transfer to another school who was keeping football. I transferred, my parents trusted me and did not want to make two, 18 mile round trips per day to take and fetch me.

When I was nearly 17 I got my first car. I bought it and insured it myself. That's when a teenager should get a car. When they (not their parents) can afford it.

My daughter didn't have her own car until she was a junior in college. Most of her friends got cars in high school. But I have to say, she didn't complain too much.
|May 16, 2013, 06:06 PM
Yes, the argument can be made that if you're going to total a car, it's better my hypothetical child's car than my car. But I disagree for two reasons:
1) I would not by my teen a brand new car. If I got them a car, it would be something used and older. Perhaps lacking modern safety equipment. My car is 6 months old, has airbags all over the place, ABS, traction control and all sorts of other safety features. If they're going to be in an accident, rather it be in my safe car than some 10 year old junker
2) They might be more careful in their parents' car as opposed to an old junker. They scratch their car, no big deal. They scratch my car, I am not going to be too happy

I've been in too many cars with people who care too much about the music versus actually driving. I totally get her point on not letting you get rides from people for that reason. You are all teenagers, your only "responsibility" in your mind is school and other things that have meaning to you. You don't take the fact that you can easily get hurt in one split second on the freeway seriously.
And maybe YOU personally do. But the moment someone else walks into your car, EVERYTHING changes. When you become the driver, everyone's begging for YOU to take them home/wherever when they don't have a car too.
It's the whole responsibility thing, definitely.

Cars are great until you have to start supporting them (gas, insurance, repairs, maintenance, etc). You may want one now at age 16 but, when you get older and are paying for all life's expenses, your viewpoint on car ownership will change .
|May 16, 2013, 10:04 PM
A teenager doesn't need a car. There's the cost of the car to think about, the maintenance, petrol, insurance that may well keep you broke. There's the pollution you're causing that can be negated by a pushbike.
I'm speaking as somebody who bought their first car at 36 years of age, at which point I had a family to transport. I can't say I missed not having a car all those years.
|May 16, 2013, 10:39 PM
It depends what what you are doing with it, and where you live. You don't need a car everywhere, but some places, you do. If you're staying after school and you live 20 miles away, and there is no transportation during certain times - then I wouldn't say "Teenagers don't need a car. Period".
If you are staying after school, doing various clubs/activities in and outside of school and so on, and your parent's can't really take you everywhere - then sure, I would say you need another driver in the family. Depends though. I managed taking the city bus, asking for rides, and so on - it wasn't bad. Actually didn't mind considering the enormous costs of getting a car. Initial car price + insurance + petrol + repairs/maintenance ... etc
But I've also seen kids who don't do anything but drive in circles, show off that they have cars, and put useless mods on their cars and such. Not saying that they shouldn't have one, but do they need one? I'm not sure. It might seem that teenagers want a car for these reasons, but I believe many have more solid reasons for wanting a car that you might even consider as a "need".
Also just putting it out there for what it's worth, even though I've been driving for nearly 2 years and have taken driving courses, I still feel very inexperienced behind the wheel. Don't let the "I'm a safe driver" thing get to you. Most people can get to A and B without getting into an accident. Doesn't make them "safe" though. And you don't have to make a mistake to get into a serious accident. Could be the other party.
|May 17, 2013, 07:18 AM
If you don't strictly need a car to get to work, I would say wait. Your priority should be saving to pay for college. If your folks have that covered, use your wages to fully fund a Roth IRA. With the time this money will have to compound, you need only to invest until you're 30 to easily retire a millionaire at 65.
I wish someone had told me this when I was your age. Most of us don't get serious about saving for retirement until our 40's when so much time has already slipped away.

It depends on where you live. I grew up in a very rural area, and nearly my entire class had a vehicle by the senior year. The majority of us lived at least 7 miles away, some up to 20, down gravel roads and a couple very dangerous highways. We all had part-time jobs, and those were almost all in the 20-40 mile range. Public transportation was not even in our vocabulary.
Go to the other end of the spectrum and live somewhere with excellent public transit and you might never even need to own a car.
|May 17, 2013, 09:00 AM
When I was 16 my parents surprised me with a car (they told me I wouldn't be getting one).
Where I lived you absolutely needed one. I was 30 minutes driving from anywhere and couldn't get a job without one so thankfully they got me one.
(Saving money from doing chores wasn't an option since I made almost nothing from that.)
In my opinion, I think its good for a teenager to have a car as long as they're responsible. If someone lived in town I wouldn't deem it an absolute necessity but I still would try and provide my kids cars if I could.

Just out of curiosity, those who say teenager doesn't need a car. How old were you when you got your first car?
|May 17, 2013, 09:19 AM
no one "needs" a car. it's a privilege and a great convenience.

You are right to know that you shouldn't throw a fit over not getting a car. If you want a car then you should absolutely have to work for it in some way. If you can afford a car on your own, without your parents, and they still restrict you, then maybe you can throw a fit at that point. Sounds like you have a fairly decent head on your shoulders though.
Does a 16 year need a car? No.
Should a 16 year old be handed a car new or used unconditionally? No.
Should a 16 year old be able to get a car with his/her own money? Yes. There is no better time to start teaching personal responsibility and if a car can be purchased outright by a teenager then I say it is fine. I would say that the car should still be used. Financially well off or not, I think parents have failed quite a bit here and it would be nice if parents would humble their kids ever so slightly. I don't care if they give their kids everything under the sun, just teach them to be humble and perhaps understand that humility is a nice trait to have too.
I got my first car when I was just about to turn 17. I bought it from my parents. They were more than willing to let me have it but since a very early age I was very much into working and earning money. I spent much of my time trying to earn money and I didn't want to just "take" a car. Though I am fairly certain that money I gave my parents was far less than what they could have gotten for the car (it was actually a truck), I was proud to say that it was my own purchase. My next truck was new and financed. I worked and could pay for it. Again, the time to get a car is when you can afford it. I think it really helps shape a child when they have worked for something.
If I had a child then this could possibly be all thrown out the window when they give me sad eyes.

I got my first car & motorcycle at 16. But had a job and paid for myself. Just bought my 17 year old his first car. My reason! My son has planned on going to university. He is responsible and has his own job, so will pay for insurance and gas. Without my purchasing the car for him, he would not have one and university is some 30-35 KM away from home. Public transport not available. He has some large bills coming up for university tuition and books. There is no way I want my son strapped with huge debt by the time he leaves university. So buying my son a car at his age was a no brainer.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt!

Sure one could walk everywhere but when there aren't bakers on every block and whatnot that are built with walking populace in mind, it isn't feasible to live in vast spread out areas and no car.
Even my post doc colleagues from Europe say they now realize how a car is a necessity here in the us than back home in Europe.

Two riders
So, I'm starting to get into doing real illustrations, where I'm focusing more on composition and backgrounds and whatnot. Here I decided to challenge myself by drawing people on horseback, something I've always avoided because frankly, it's hard for me. I've been fiddling with the poses and the horses for the last few hours but I'm still not sure if it looks right. Also the rider on the left is holding a lap harp, and I'm not exactly sure if that's the proper way to hold it. Some help would be lovely.

Some scientists are predicting by 2050, only 8% of biomes [plants and animals] will be left in their original habitats.~ Dr. Sally Aiken
Americans have a superstition, backed by law, that the bodies of Americans killed in war or their coffins must not be photographed. Oddly, the superstition does not apply to those they have killed. I see this law as a way to deceive the American people about the human costs of illegal wars. As a Canadian, the law does not apply to me. I feel a duty to punch Americans in the gut with such photos to persuade them to stop treating war as a football game.These photos show the tip of the iceberg of the suffering of both Americans and Iraqis in the Iraq war. This is considered collateral damage in a $13.5 trillion oil heist of the #2 oil reserves on the planet, callously masquerading as a compassionate regime change. The occupation and slaughter carries on without an official reason now that Saddam is captured. That the Iraqis resist occupation now seems justification enough for Bush. It may sound strange, but to Bush, the following images are erotically stimulating. Note I am not saying who in particular caused any of these injuries, just that this is the sort of suffering happening to both sides as the result of the war.
~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 67)
Most Americans are in deep denial that their country would butcher children and civilians, routinely torture, or bomb homes. Yet nearly every American saw this live on CNN (Cable News Network) with his own eyes on 2003-03-20 when America did its Shock & Awe bombing of the residential sections of Baghdad on the opening day of the war. Granted, they did not see the blood spurting, but they saw apartments full of families being turned to rubble. Everyone knows perfectly well what happens when a bomb hits an apartment. Americans pretend the $2 trillion they borrowed for the war went for reconstruction. If that were so, every Iraqi would be living in a mansion. That money clearly went for mayhem and destruction. Soldiers are trained and paid to kill, not build schools or hand out candy. America has behaved worse than Nazi Germany. Americans plug their ears and say lah lah lah as if that would erase their responsibility. How dare they claim to be a Christian nation!
Many Americans have written me convinced none of the casualties in the photos below could not possibly have been done by Americans. They seem to think American soldiers are in Iraq to act as police rather than killers. Consider. Iraqis have only IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) IED (Improvised Explosive Device) s) to fight with. Whereas only American have helicopters to drop people out of, white phosphorus to mummify them, napalm to cook them to a crisp, cluster bombs to shread them, DU (Depleted Uranium) etc. So if you see a white phosphorus victim, nobody but Americans could have done it.
|Casualties of the Iraq War, American and Iraqi

|An Iraqi boy reacts after seeing his sister and both of his parents killed in the car, in Ramadi, 100 kilometers west of Baghdad, 2005-01-05. Four Iraqi civilians were killed and two others were injured when U.S. soldiers opened fire.
|Bush had the woman fired who dared to take this photo of coffins being loaded each night in Kuwait for secret shipment back home. More. Bush does not count soldiers who die en route to hospital or in hospital in Germany as deaths. This means the true death count of American soldiers is over five times higher than Bush is reporting. In 2006 the Pentagon relented and has released some coffin photos such as these.
|It is illegal to take photographs of coffins of US soldiers, though in 2005-05 the military released some anonymous and undated photos. Bush wants to pretend nobody dies in his wars and to hide the true number of deaths.
Not all the deaths are from bullets, napalm and white phosphorus. Some a come from deliberate starvation, denial of water and denial of sanitation.
Check point
Burned corpse of American mercenary, a contractor for Blackwater security
There are suprisingly few pictures of the damage or the casualties of Gulf War I or the sanction bombings. Bush Sr. exercised strict censorship. Please pass on URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) of any photos that speak to the heart.
My opponents argue that I can't prove precisely who was responsible for the carnage in any individual photo. My intent is not a criminal investigation of each incident but to show you just how horrible war in general is. It is no secret the USA has spent $300 billion on waging its war in Iraq, that it attacked unprovoked under false pretences and that it used weapons banned by the U.N., including napalm, cluster bombs, depleted uranium and white phosphorus. It also uses torture, rape and attack dogs on children. The pictures on and linked to by my website don't come even close to depicting the true hell president Bush has created in his bid to takeover Iraq's oil.
You might wonder why there are not more pictures of American casualties. There are four reason for this:
Charlatans prey on the desperately ill by making extravagant promises and extracting large fees for treatments that have no effect. This harms the patient in two ways:
- It impoverishes them.
- It stops them from pursuing effective treatments.
We tolerate these blood suckers, especially if they wrap themselves in some religious cloak. They should be charged with attempted murder.~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 67)

Students may use the "student appeal form" for select college decisions including: financial aid, suspension, late drop, late withdrawal, the ability to enroll in more than 18 credits/term, the opportunity to pursue a second degree, or to waive transcripts (see form for description of each category). The student appeal form, including instructions on how to complete it, are available on-line via the KCC web site at www.klamathcc.edu or in person at the front desk of Building 3. Once a student's financial account is in good standing, student appeals are considered by a College student appeals committee made up of qualified personnel from several student success departments across campus. Student appeals are processed at regular intervals throughout the year and students are contacted with appeal decisions promptly. Questions about the Student Appeal Process should be directed to the Vice President of Student Services.
Students may use the "final course grade appeal form" to challenge an academic grade. The form is available on-line via the KCC web site at www.klamathcc.edu or in person at the front desk of Building 3. As with student complaints, students submitting grade appeals should first discuss the matter with the instructor involved in the appeal. If this is not an option, the Department Chair or Student Success Manager (located in Building 3) can often mediate a discussion between the students and instructor to assist. If the student is still not satisfied, he/she may submit a grade appeal form to the Vice President of Learning Services located in Building 3. Grade appeals will be processed at regular intervals throughout the year and students are contacted with appeal decisions promptly. Questions about the grade appeal process should be directed to the Vice President of Learning Services.
See "Conduct Appeals Process and Standards" section on page 38 of the Student Handbook.
Students may informally complain to the College if they believe their rights have been violated. The steps in the student complaint process are:
For complaints that a student wishes to make formal, students may elect to submit a Student Complaint Form (formal). For formal student complaints, the KCC Student Success Manager or Vice President of Students Services will review the matter, except in cases of a student's formal complaint against a faculty member. For formal complaints regarding instructors, students should turn in student complaint forms to the Vice President of Learning Services – located in Building 3 – for review. Students submitting formal complaints will receive a written response within 10 business days of submitting the form. Student Complaint Forms are available online via the KCC web site – www.klamathcc.edu or at the front desk of Building 3. Please note that students wishing to file a formal complaint should first follow procedures outlined in the informal complaint process (see bullets above).
Students who believe that their rights have been violated alleging discrimination on the basis of sex or disability or believe that they have been sexually harassed, should immediately report the situation to the Executive Director of Human Resources using one of the following means:

Mr Blakelock, 40, was attacked by an armed mob after his unit was deployed to protect firefighters tackling a blaze on the Broadwater Farm estate in London on the night of October 6, 1985.
The Old Bailey trial heard the officer was stabbed more than 40 times and that rioters tried to decapitate him.
Nicky Jacobs, 16 at the time, was the seventh person to be charged with the murder but no-one has been found guilty.
When the verdict was delivered, Mr Blakelock's widow, Elizabeth Johnson, left the courtroom and wept, while her three sons held their heads in their hands.
The family issued a statement saying they were extremely sad and disappointed.
Mr Jacobs punched the air and sobbed as supporters let out shouts of joy.
Supporter Stafford Scott said afterwards questions should be raised with the Crown Prosecution Service and Director of Public Prosecutions as to why such a "farcical" case came to trial.
The Crown Prosecution Service said that, while it accepted the verdict, it was right to bring the case.
Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley vowed: "We will not give up on bringing Keith's killers to justice."
Mr Jacobs's prosecution followed a trial in 1987, when three men were convicted of the murder but freed on appeal. The case against three youths was dropped.
During the course of three separate probes, a decision was made to give immunity to so-called "kickers" - those who were involved in the attack but did not use weapons - in exchange for their co-operation.
Among them were prosecution witnesses given the pseudonyms Rhodes Levin and John Brown, who both admitted kicking Mr Blakelock and were given amnesty from prosecution.
Some of the witnesses also received payments from police for their co-operation, the jury was told.

Teams are now forced to leave 1 on 1 coverage with 2 safeties over the top, thus pulling the 8th man out of the box. If you put 8 in the box, Roddy or Julio WILL kill you. Not just for first downs, but for big touchdowns. We have 2 amazing WRs now, and this is EXACTLY what we needed to go from a good offense, to an ELITE offense.
We have the QB, our WR position now looks siiick. I was all for Little, but I really didn't think we'd pull this off. AMAZING. JULIOOOOOOOO
Not sure how much they'll do it in the NFL, but Julio is good at running reverses.
Runs a reverse like Desean jackson did against us, but he's twice the size and not a douche. Very excited to see him on the field -- eventually...
Don't be shocked if Jones leads all WRs in rushing attempts this season. I could see the Falcons using him on reverses once or twice a game this year.
I like green a lot but IMO JJ was the best wr in the draft.
I was a huge fan of AJ Green to begin the draft process, but learning more about Julio has got me liking him a lot. The dude is an incredibly hard worker and gifted athlete- what more can you want? He should develop into a Roddy White 2.0 by the time Sharod's time is done here.
Anyone want a Julio sig?
just give me credit =)
That catch in pre-game was absolutely insane.
