Nearly anything said, murmured or leaked by the Secretary of Education's Commission on the Future of Higher Education draws close scrutiny these days, just months before the scheduled release of the independent body's final report.
So it comes as no surprise that the commission's rather rough draft report, which endorsed the idea of a national "unit records" database that would track students' performance throughout their academic careers, has reinvigorated the debate over whether such a system would help or harm higher education.
Supporters of the centralized database, including the chairman of the commission and a number of community college leaders, say it is the only true way to get an accurate picture of the postsecondary landscape, as the proposed system would track college students who are currently missed in the reporting process -- including those who are part-time, enrolled in courses at multiple institutions, or drop in and out of college.
Private colleges have been the most outspoken opponents of the tracking system. Many officials say that the reporting requirements would violate student privacy, and that sufficient enrollment and financial aid information is already provided to states by individual colleges.
“We believe the proposal inherent in the Spellings Commission is so egregious and ill-conceived that it is necessary to express the views of the public,” David Warren, president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, said Thursday during a news conference to announce the release of a poll showing that the majority of Americans surveyed oppose the unit records idea.
The poll was taken starting the day after the commission's report was released. Coincidence? Not exactly, said Warren. He said his association and the polling company had drafted the questions in advance, and that Warren had pushed for immediate surveying after reading the commission's draft.
More than three out of five people in the poll said they opposed "requiring colleges and universities to report individual student information to the federal government," and 45 percent of the 1,000 people surveyed said they "strongly opposed" the plan.
Results also showed that a majority of those asked said enough data is already being collected at the college level, and that the proposed data collection doesn't address or solve public policy issues. Many also expressed concerns over safeguarding the data.
"It seems overwhelmingly clear that the public opposes the idea that once a student signs up for a course, he or she is thrust into a federal registry that may well follow them throughout their life,” Warren said.
But Travis Reindl, director of state policy analysis at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, who supports the tracking system, said the three-question survey is inherently flawed.
“Several questions are leading and misleading. There are details that are intentionally left out,” Reindl said. “The bottom line on this is that the study doesn’t accurately represent the story.”
Reindl said he takes issue with wording in one question that says the data would be linked "potentially to information from the student's high school and elementary school records," when he said the conversation thus far has focused on postsecondary tracking. He said earlier language in that passage implies that "the federal government will be running around telling everyone to release individuals' information to everyone, which simply isn't true."
The proposed tracking system would follow guidelines for the release of information in student records set forth in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Reindl said.
Susan Hattan, a senior consultant for NAICU, said that when the association worked with the company that does the polling, they "tried hard to have neutrally worded questions, as opposed to a push poll."
The debate over the proposed federal tracking system kicked into full gear more than a year ago when the Education Department’s National Center for Education Statistics released a feasibility report that called for an overhaul of the way education data is received and reported.
Although program details are still somewhat vague, it is widely accepted that students would be entered into a national registry and assigned an identifier -- almost certainly not a Social Security number for privacy reasons. Gwen Dungy, executive director of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, said she only supports a system in which students aren’t identified by a Social Security number.
The system would give the federal government and institutions information about financial aid, transfer rates and graduation rates for full- and part-time students. More information would be provided than what is now available in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (commonly known as IPEDS), which all public and private institutions are required to submit to the federal government.
The student unit record plan would require Congressional approval. Congress gives the Education Department authority to build a new system in the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, which governs the majority of federal student-aid programs.
Charles Miller, chairman of the federal higher education commission, said the tracking system is an answer to what he calls a “serious records gap.” Miller said the growing number of students who take classes part-time and who are "untraditional" students are falling through the cracks.
"We lose out on a great part of data that’s pertinent," Miller said. "We are making higher ed decisions and we don’t have all the resources to do it. If we don’t have information on when students enter and when they leave, our findings are incomplete.”
Paul E. Lingenfelter, president of the State Higher Education Executive Officers, said concerns that the federal government wouldn't know what to do with an influx of new data are unfounded. “We already put enormous resources behind an ineffective system – individually designed reporting systems across the country. “If we can have enough discipline, we can create a data set that’s simple enough."
Miller said some states have put in place effective systems to track students through their education. He mentioned Florida as an example. Jay Pfeiffer, who oversees that state's unit record system, said his state's data collection methods allow for tracking of almost every student who remains in Florida for college.
Pfeiffer said he is "not convinced that a federal student record database gives us more than we already have.”
Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Education and the Workforce Committee, came out strongly against the Education Department's proposal last year. He said in a written statement that "language in the recently passed higher education bill reflects the belief that creating a federal database of personal information is not necessary for evaluating academic institutions or informing the American public. In fact, many members have been vocal in saying that it is a direct violation of students’ personal privacy.”
The privacy card has been played by many during the unit records debate. Rebecca Thompson, legislative director of the United States Students Association, said during Thursday's NAICU press conference that she is troubled by any proposal that allows the government to follow a student from "the time we enter elementary school until the day we die.” She said another concern is that the government would use the database information for non-germane purposes.
Throughout its meetings this year, various commission members, including those who work for technology companies like IBM, have assured the public that privacy issues can be handled if the proposal is adopted.
Added Miller: “I’m cautious about protecting privacy, but we have to assume we can develop an adequate system. Is having students' information at 4,000 different places more safe? I don’t think so.”
Peter McPherson, president of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, said the goals of the unit records system are worth working toward. "There may be 15 percent more students graduating than the current records reflect, and we don't know the pattern of student movement. I keep wondering if there isn't a way to work through the privacy issues to find a way to get this information."
Both David Baime, vice president for government relations for the American Association of Community Colleges, and Eduardo Marti, president of Queensborough Community College, said the national database would be helpful, but only if useful information such as retention records are reported back to the colleges.
"It's going to be good for community colleges," Marti said. "We are at the beginning stages of a student's education. This can enable us to prove and track when we are successful. Right now we are missing some key information."
Marti and Miller both said they would like to see a system that also tracks students when they start their careers. "The important factor for us is to see how our students are being trained for the world of work," Marti said.
Baime said it is "inevitable" that the country is moving toward a centralized database of information, whether in two years or in 20. "The system would demand it," he said.
Still, some are not convinced. Christopher Nelson, president of St. John’s College, called the proposal "Orwellian."
“The beauty of higher education is we believe that nobody has all of the answers," he said during the news conference. "The more we try to bring about a single federalized way of looking at each unit, each piece of the labor force, the more we are headed toward a system that stifles innovation and competition.”

Paul Pelosi was hit with hammer by David DePape in front of cops, fell unconscious in pool of his own blood
Paul Pelosi and David DePape were grappling over a hammer when cops arrived at the Pacific Heights residence of Speaker Nancy Pelosi
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi and his attacker David DePape were grappling over a hammer when cops arrived the the speaker's Pacific Heights house, court documents have revealed. They also revealed that DePape hit Pelosi on his head with the hammer in the presence of the cops and he fell unconscious in a pool of his own blood.
The shocking new information about the 82-year-old's assault on October 28 was made public in a court application filed by the San Francisco district attorney asking for the arrest of suspect David DePape, 42.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said outside the San Francisco Superior Court on Tuesday, November 1, “What’s clear is this case is vulnerable to misinformation. This was not a random act of violence and this was not a random residential burglary – he sought to come and harm the speaker of the house of the United States.” The court documents revealed upsetting details of the early-morning assault on Pelosi, who sustained a cracked skull and needed surgery. According to the gloomy account provided by the district attorney's office in their court filing, cops reached the Pelosis' Pacific Heights house not long after Pelosi had called 911 after 2 am.
According to Business Insider, officers responding to the call rang the doorbell at the residence of the Democratic leader. Pelosi, defying DePape's alleged directive ‘not to open the door,’ opened the front door with his left hand. “As the door opened, the two men stood in the dimly lit foyer facing the officers. Mr. Pelosi nervously but calmly greeted them. When the officer asked what was going on, [DePape] smiled and said, everything’s good, and pulled his hands toward his body,” the court filing reads. When an officer focused his flashlight on the two men, it was allegedly discovered that DePape was gripping a hammer's bottom in one hand and holding onto Pelosi's right arm with his other free hand", while "Mr Pelosi had his hand on the top of the handle near the
hammer itself." The officers then issued an order to ‘drop the hammer!’ at the same time DePape reportedly replied, ‘Um, nope.’
“A second later, Defendant wrenched the hammer away from Mr Pelosi, immediately stepped back, and lunged at Mr Pelosi, striking Mr Pelosi in the head at full force with the hammer, which knocked Mr Pelosi unconscious,” the court document revealed. Officers intervened at that point to subdue DePape and take the hammer away from him. “Mr Pelosi remained unresponsive for about three minutes, waking up in a pool of his own blood,” the court document state. Medics arrived at the scene shortly afterward, and currently he is being treated at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. According to his son Pelosi Jr, Pelosi remains in the hospital and responding to treatment. “They are rebuilding him slowly,” he remarked.
Meanwhile, earlier DePape entered a not-guilty plea to a long list of state counts, including attempted murder, burglary in a residence, assault with a deadly weapon, abuse of an elderly person, false confinement of an elderly person, and threats against a public figure and their family. An FBI agent filed a criminal complaint in the US District Court for the Northern District of California on Monday, October 31, outlining DePape's federal allegations of attempted kidnapping and assault on a member of a federal official's close family in addition to the state charges. Judge Diane Northway granted the district attorney's request to hold DePape in custody pending further proceedings and issued a restraining order prohibiting the alleged assailant from approaching Nancy Pelosi or her husband within 150 yards or making any other contact with them.

Ford hosted another Driving Skills for Life driving camp in Washington D.C. just before a two-day summit created by the U.S. Department of Transportation on the topic of distracted driving. The connection of the two is a natural. The Ford Driving Skills for Life driving camp educates and trains teens on safe driving, and the U.S. government found that in 2008, the age group with the greatest proportion of distracted drivers was the under-20 age group. In fact, 16 percent of all under-20 drivers in fatal crashes were reported to have been distracted while driving. Vehicle crashes are the top killer of teenagers in America, claiming nearly 5,000 lives each year. Additionally, teens account for three times as many fatal accidents as other drivers, according to the U.S. government.

This strategic axis, the keystone of the creation of the Euroregion Pyrenees Mediterranean ─ notably from 2010, when the first call for cultural subsidies was launched ─ was structured into two main objectives between 2017 and 2020.
- On the one hand, the objective was to strengthen the cohesion and social integration of the three territories, particularly among young people;
- On the other, it chose to develop a vision of renewed dynamic culture, open to abroad and respectful of its past, always based on the cultural actors while proposing a European perspective.
In 2019, the Euroregional culture call was recognised by the Association of European Border Regions (ARFE) with a special award for the promotion, in the long term, of border cooperation.
Through its 2030 road map, the Euroregion will promote a strong culture with a Mediterranean euroregional identity through:
- A shared, innovative culture.
- Embracing the Euroregional languages as well as new cultures.
- A region open to other cultures and other places.
In order to meet these objectives, the Euroregion continues to be committed to specific calls for the support of the Euroregional cultural economy.
After 11 years of calls, in 2020 a specific call was launched to help young creators to face the Covid crisis and this support for the Euroregional cultural sector is likely to continue over the next few years.

ACGC Girls Win Big at Madrid; No One In Doubles
An oddity occurred in last night's ACGC girls' 57-14 victory at Madrid--no one scored in double figures! In every Charger game this year at last one person scored in double figures. But perhaps it isn't so unusual once one looks more closely.
Two factors contributed to the lack of anyone scoring ten or more points. First, ten Chargers entered the scoring column, meaning that the scoring was distributed among a lot of girls. Second, Madrid was not a very competitive team. As a result, Charger coach Brad Baudler was able to substitute early and often which gave many players a chance to score.
Saige O'Brien came off the bench to lead the team with 9 points, while starters Sophie Dorsey and EmmaKaye McClain each netted 8 points. Freshman reserve Reagen Carney had her best game with 7 points. And so it goes. No double figures, but lots of girls in the scoring column.
Equally as important as the distribution of scoring is the fact that the team is developing some depth. The team is now at least eight deep--the five starters and the first three off the bench. That much needed depth will be a big factor in determining how successful the Chargers will be during the second half of the regular season and into tournament play.
The Chargers led from start to finish in this one with little competition provided by the 2-10 Tigers. After building a ten point lead at 15-5 at the end of the first quarter, the Chargers put together a nineteen point second quarter to take a commanding 34-7 lead at the intermission.
Madrid managed just another seven points in the second half while ACGC added twenty three points to come up with the 57-14 final.
The Charger had a good night shooting as they connected on nearly 50% of their shot attempts--23 of 47. They made 3 of 11 three pointers and were 8 of 12 from the charity stripe for 67%.
Kylie Young led the Chargers in rebounds with 7 and along with O'Brien came up with 3 steals.
Taylor Carlson handed out 3 assists.
Baudler had plenty of praise for his team's performance. "We played great defense and only allowed single digit quarters. They only made four field goals for the whole game.
"On the offensive end, we were very balanced as no one was in double figures, and we shot really close to fifty percent. There was a lot of great offense on display. A good team win and we will keep on building."
The win improves the team's record to 7-4 overall and 6-2 in conference play. The Chargers will go on the road for Friday's game at Pleasantville and will return home on Saturday for JV/Varsity games with Grand View Christian scheduled for a 4 PM start. Go Chargers!
Score by quarter:
ACGC 15 19 13 10--57

RNW Press Review - Thursday, 24 April 2008
Catch the news in brief from the roundup of today’s press from Radio Netherlands.24 April 2008
Sun cancer on the rise
"Skin cancer becoming an epidemic" screams the AD's headline. Doctors are barely able to keep up with the patients streaming to their clinics.
A dermatologist warns that the number of skin cancer patients is set to double over the next few years. "The Dutch bake themselves by the pool in Spain, while the Spanish stay indoors. People use too little cream and children are left unprotected in the full glare of the sun," he tells us.
Under an inside-page headline, "Wrinkles a bigger worry than cancer", the paper goes on to report that sunbeds are also a danger and that there are strict European rules on tanning shops. Owners are required not to serve people under 18 or those with the wrong skin types, and must not use strong bulbs.
The authorities are going to increase checks this summer and fine those in breach of the rules. "From July, we're increasing the pressure. The fines will double with a second offence," says a spokesperson.
Handcuffs for train guards
De Volkskrant reports that train guards will get handcuffs. Dutch Rail (NS) apparently wants to create 'elite units' of guards who would be issued with handcuffs and truncheons, and be allowed to search people who have no tickets.
A spokesman explains: "We are holding talks with the justice ministry to see if our service and safety teams could be allowed a broader use of force."
Dutch Rail hopes to launch a three-month trial, without the use of truncheons, around Amsterdam and Zwolle (in the centre of the Netherlands).
Queen opens bio-energy plant
The AD features a picture of Queen Beatrix pouring what at first glance looks like gold from a tall glass vase. It is in fact wood waste: she was opening a bio-energy plant in Alkmaar (to the north of Amsterdam) which uses household waste. The plant should produce enough power to provide 60,000 households with electricity and 30,000 homes with heating.
Chinese immigrants won’t be kept in custody
Today's papers report that Deputy Justice Minister Nebahat Albayrak survived a motion of no-confidence yesterday in parliament.
Nearly 800 illegal Chinese immigrants surfaced in March, claiming asylum. Apparently, a rumour had been circulating that an amnesty was on offer. Their applications are still being processed, but already 300 claimants have disappeared and gone back underground.
MPs on the right wanted the claimants to be kept in custody, but Albayak said this was illegal. De Volkskrant quotes conservative VVD MP Henk Kamp as saying: "If you can detain them after their requests are denied, you can detain them before."
According to Trouw, a Christian Democrat MP called it "a purely political motion". "What an exaggerated reaction. What a show," he fumes.

For a while now, NVIDIA has had the upper hand with best gaming performance from graphics cards. AMD’s fastest Polaris cards could only go head on with the GTX 1060 at best. But now that the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is released, AMD is aiming it towards the fastest single GPU from NVIDIA- the GTX 1080.
Design and Features
The development of the Vega GPU architecture started back since the days of the Radeon Fury products. And with AMD finally making the new Vega graphics series official, there are a total of four different variants that are currently available: the Radeon RX Vega 64, the Radeon RX Vega 56, the Radeon RX Vega 64 Limited Edition Liquid cooled version and the Radeon RX Vega 64 Limited Edition (Air-Cooled). While the Vega 56 is meant to take on the GTX 1070, the Radeon RX Vega 64 is designed to match the performance of the faster GTX 1080. The liquid cooled version is a special variant with faster clock speeds and integrated AIO cooling (similar to the Fury X).
The Radeon RX Vega 64 resembles the reference AMD Radeon RX 480 that we had reviewed a year back. It’s a simple looking shroud design with a rubber-like mesh skin on the front panel, along with the blower-style fan. There are two “RADEON” insignias, one of which is located on the front side (left) and the other on the upper part of the card. Only the one on the top lights up with red-colored LEDs.
AMD also borrowed the GPU Tach LED lights from the Fury X, and you can now choose between blue or red color. We guess the blue has to do with the Frontiers Edition Vega GPU that was announced a bit earlier. The switch to toggle between the colors are located on the rear backplate. You can also turn off the GPU Tach LEDs with this switch.
The backplate is just a plain and simple looking, with no fancy designs printed over it. It’s no surprise that the Vega 64 needs two full-blown 8-pin power connectors to support the 295W TDP.
Oh! And did we forget to mention that there is another switch above the LED-lit RADEON logo? The switch is meant to toggle between two different BIOS to lower the TDP from the base mode.
The ports on the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 include a trio of Display Port 1.4’s and only one HDMI 2.0 port. We think there should have been at least two HDMI 2.0 ports to begin with, something that will surely be offered by custom OEM card makers.
While the design of the RX Vega 64 is quite simplistic, the packaging of the card is special on all fronts. After flip-opening the box from four corners, we got to see a product guide that’s printed in high-quality paper, a Radeon wrist band, couple of stickers and a crystal glass-cube with the “V” Vega logo engraved within it.
While the glass-piece can be used to showcase that your system has a Vega inside, there is one more thing that we found very interesting. It’s an unusable Vega 64 GPU die that’s mostly included as a showpiece compliment.

THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
With solutions such as treatment protocol development, diagnosis processes, personalized medicine, and drug development, AI can prove to be the game-changer for the pharma industry in the future.
FREMONT, CA: The pharma industry is not amongst the first to adopt technological transformations. It continues to face challenges as a profession and how it adds to the overall healthcare will determine its success. Artificial intelligence (AI) can prove to be the game-changer for the industry in the future.
In the past 25 years, the pharma industry has been effective in addressing the increasing demand of prescriptions, even while dealing with a shortage of pharmacists, growing operating costs, demands of the Affordable Care Act, and lower reimbursements. The Pharma industry has also been successful in enabling technology automation to enhance workflow efficiency and reduce operating costs while promoting accuracy, safety, and efficiency in each pharmacy setting. Automated dispensing allows pharmacists more time to interact with an ever-increasing volume of patients while also increasing their health outcomes. Influenced by public policy, the pharma industry is placing more priority on driving value and improving the quality of healthcare with positive value-based results.
Here’s how AI fits into the scene for the above goal:
AI for Overall Patient Care
The primary goal of health-related AI apps is to diagnose relationships between patient outcomes and prevention or treatment techniques. AI solutions have been built and applied to practices such as treatment protocol development, diagnosis processes, personalized medicine, drug development, and patient monitoring and care, among others.
The Present State of AI in Healthcare
AI can prove to be a game-changer when it comes to presenting results and analyzing data that would support decision-making, saving manual effort, money, and time, and thereby saving lives. In 2011, IBM estimated that the healthcare domain had almost 161 billion GB of data, which must have increased considerably as of now. With such massive data sets at its helm, AI is well set to make the difference and improve the current trend of unsustainable spend.
Scope of AI in the Pharma Industry
Some organizations are already leveraging the early form of AI, which is called the pharmacy management system. It houses patient utilization and drug information, as well as potentially tracking drug-related problems via clinical decision support screening. The next generation in the pharma industry will see a technology-based information expert system to spot timely drug-related issues according to the data extracted from the pharma-based systems.

Gomes reveals penalty secret
PSV Eindhoven keeper Heurelho Gomes has rejected the suggestion that penalties are a lottery.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 13/03/08 5:24pm
PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has rejected the suggestion that penalties are a lottery.
The Brazilian proved to be the hero for the Eredivisie leaders as they saw off Tottenham in a shoot-out in their Uefa Cup last 16 tie on Wednesday.
His vital stop to keep out Jermaine Jenas' effort kept PSV in the game at a stage when had the England man scored it would have been Spurs who progressed to the quarter-finals at their expense.
The save keeps alive PSV's hopes of claiming a domestic and European double this season and Gomes is adamant that there was no luck involved on his part.
"I don't agree that penalties are a lottery," he told the club's official website.
"I try to wait until the final moment and wait on the player's decision before I react.
"Jenas stepped up and I selected the right corner."
The Dutch champions provided little in terms of attacking threat throughout the game and were made to pay the price for their lack of endeavour when Dimitar Berbatov grabbed the only goal of the game on 81 minutes to level the scores up on aggregate.
Holland U21 defender Dirk Marcellis admits that PSV took a cautious approach to the game, but was delighted to see his successfully converted penalty prove to be the decisive one which sent his side through.
"We did not take any risks as long as it was 0-0," he said.
"We defended well, but Berbatov scored a goal nine minutes from time.
"My penalty turned out to be the last spot-kick, but I didn't know that, as a Tottenham player still had to take his penalty.

Cobalt 27 Capital jumped $1.86 to $13.32 per share. The company has acquired a 1.75% net smelter return royalty on production from the Dumont nickel-cobalt project in Quebec. The fully permitted and construction-ready nickel sulphide project could produce by 2020. Dumont has proven and probable reserves of 1.18 billion tonnes ore containing 6.9 billion lb. nickel and 278 million lb. cobalt, and an estimated 33-year mine life. RNC Minerals Corp. holds the operating interest in the project.
Shares of Standard Lithium surged 46¢ to $2.43. The company closed a $21.6-million, bought-deal private placement on Feb. 16, and is exploring its Bristol Dry Lake lithium project in the Mojave region of San Bernardino County, California. Standard Lithium is also evaluating resources at its brine leases in the Smackover Formation in southern Arkansas.
Novo Resources posted a 36¢ gain to $3.66. The last press release the company issued was on Feb. 14, in which it announced it was starting work at Comet Well, a farm-in and joint venture it has with two Pilbara-based prospectors. The company also updated investors on its Purdy’s Reward project, a farm-in and joint venture with Artemis Resources. Both Comet Well and Purdy’s Reward are part of Novo’s Karratha gold project in Western Australia. Novo said it has started diamond drilling and trenching at Comet Well and noted that more bulk-sample results from Purdy’s Reward have helped it plan for follow-up work. Scout diamond core drilling has started along a 2.5 km long, 500-metre wide, northeast-trending corridor from areas drilled last year at Purdy’s Reward to an “intensely prospected area” called the Powerline showing on the Comet Well tenements. The drill program is designed to evaluate the position, thickness and dip of gold-bearing conglomerates that sub-crop along the corridor. Novo plans to drill vertical scout holes along the corridor on a 200-metre grid, and more tightly spaced holes in trenching areas to better understand subsurface geology before bulk sampling begins.
At the end of 2017, Novo collected samples of around 6 tonnes from trenches at Purdy’s Reward. The samples were collected after recognizing the mineralization’s extreme nugget nature, occurring mostly near the base of the conglomerate sequence. Novo says one of these bulk samples will be the first through the new SGS plant. “Five- to 15-tonne bulk samples are clearly necessary to get a better handle on gold grades, and we are now in a position to collect these, having recently secured a test plant at SGS, capable of processing such large volumes of material,” Quinton Hennigh, Novo’s chairman and president, said in a news release. “Over the coming months, we anticipate collecting numerous bulk samples at Comet Well and Purdy’s Reward to begin to assess grade and continuity of this deposit.”

Morgan's metals desk chief, two others charged with market rigging
JPMorgan Traders Charged by U.S. With Rigging Metals Deals
By Tom Schoenberg
Monday, September 16, 2019
Two current and one former precious metals traders at JPMorgan Chase & Co. have been charged with manipulating futures markets in what prosecutors described as a massive, multiyear racketeering conspiracy run out of the bank.
The U.S. Justice Department said today the three men ripped off market participants and even clients as they illegally moved prices for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. One of those indicted is Michael Nowak, 45, who ran JPMorgan's global precious metals desk. Nowak was placed on leave last month, a person familiar with the matter has said.

Buy metals at GoldMoney and enjoy international storage
GoldMoney was established in 2001 by James and Geoff Turk and is safeguarding more than $1.7 billion in metals and currencies. Buy gold, silver, platinum, and palladium from GoldMoney over the Internet and store them in vaults in Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, taking advantage of GoldMoney's low storage rates, among the most competitive in the industry. GoldMoney also offers delivery of 100-gram and 1-kilogram gold bars and 1-kilogram silver bars. To learn more, please visit:
Their actions spanned eight years and involved thousands of unlawful trading sequences, the Justice Department said. The men were indicted on multiple fraud and conspiracy charges, including racketeering.
"These charges should leave no doubt that the Department is committed to prosecuting those who undermine the investing public's trust in the integrity of our commodities markets," Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski said in a written statement.
While the banks weren't identified in the Justice Department statement, other documents related to the case identify JPMorgan. The other traders charged were Gregg Smith, 55 and Christopher Jordan, 47. ...

New Zealand Warriors winger Ken Maumalo has been granted an early release by the club, signing with the Wests Tigers on a long-term deal.
The 26-year-old has played over 100 games for the Warriors since his debut in 2015, as well as representing both New Zealand and Samoa at international level.
Warriors CEO Cameron George wished the 196cm flyer the best as he looks to pursue a long-term future at Concord.
“Ken had an opportunity to secure a long-term future for himself and his family beyond next season but we couldn’t offer anything further at this stage,” he said.
“He has made a huge contribution to the Vodafone Warriors and we wish him and his family all the best for the future.”
Nathan Brown echoed the sentiments of George, and paid tribute to his contribution to the Warriors.
“Ken has given the Vodafone Warriors great service across seven seasons,” he said.
“It was a great achievement for him this year when he joined the select group of players who have made 100 appearances for the club.”
Maumalo hasn't played since round 10, and had clearly fallen out of favour with new coach Brown.
Michael Maguire - who has coached Maumalo at international level for the Kiwis - expressed his excitement to see the winger join the club.
“I’ve worked closely with Ken over a number of years now at international level and it’s great to see him now join Wests Tigers,” he said.
“Ken is a great family man who will fit in well with the squad we have here at Wests Tigers, and I look forward to welcoming him to the club.”

FAIRBORN — Upon finishing his meals at the Fairborn Senior Center, Paul Moyer checks to see if anyone else near him has any items to throw away before getting up and dragging the trash can around to each table to help fellow members out.
But that’s just his character.
“I try to take care of people, help other people,” Moyer said.
The list of service organizations he has been involved in at some point over his years spans across more than two pages, according to State Representative Rick Perales during a ceremony that honored him following the Fairborn Senior Center Members Thanksgiving.
Even as Perales presented him with a challenge coin to honor his many years of service, he was clear that he is more of a “behind the scenes” kind of guy.
“I’m speechless,” Moyer said after being honored. “I had no idea this was coming … This is very special. I never figured this at my age.”
He served in the Air Force for several years as a weapons specialist and has been involved with the American Legion Dignam-Whitmore Post 526 and AmVets Post 444, among several other organizations.
Fairborn Mayor Paul Keller pointed out that Moyer, without being asked, will pick up trash from the roadways just to “keep the community looking good,” Keller said.
Moyer also highlighted his involvement with local volksmarching groups. It’s not just organizations that Moyer serves. Following the ceremony, he pointed out a Fairborn Senior Center member who is using a walker and spoke about helping her get in and out of their church facility.
“Paul is one of those guys who are in the background and he just cares, he keeps helping people.” Perales said. “He’s been there for me and he’s been there for a lot of folks and we are so, so lucky to have Paul in our community.”
For more than 38 years, Moyer owned Paul’s Barbers, formerly located on the 10 block of South Central Avenue, where he was able to continue his service to others and catch-up on the city’s latest happenings. Although the shop has been sold and he has since retired, Moyer said he would do it all over again.
“I’ve been very blessed,” Moyer said. “Fairborn’s been good to me.”
And what is it that keeps him going?
The answer is simple … Joy. No, not the feeling. His “very special, very best friend,” he said as he pulled Fairborn community member Joy Bazill in for a kiss.

Best Buy founder Schulze may be changing his mind on a takeover
Send this story to a friend
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Schulze, who has been working for months to line up financing to buy the company and take it private, is considering scrapping the plan because he can't find enough support for a takeover deal.
Instead, people familiar with the matter told the newspaper, Schulze is thinking about finding investors to take a smaller stake in Richfield-based Best Buy (NYSE: BBY). Sources who talked to the Journal emphasized that Schulze, who owns 20 percent of the company still could go ahead with his original plan.
The New York Post goes even stronger, citing sources who say that Schulze has virtually given up on the idea of an outright Best Buy takeover.
Best Buy's stock fell sharply on the news, which broke right before trading closed Wednesday, though it's since recovered somewhat and is now down about 2 percent in after-hours trading.
Under an extension agreement from December, Schulze has until the end of the month to make an offer, and Best Buy's board then would have 30 days to respond.
Schulze was originally hinting at a formal offer of about $24 a share — worth about $8 billion in total — but that value kept falling along with Best Buy's stock price. A rumor that an offer was imminent in December was in the $5 billion to $6 billion range.

In today's world, sustainability and eco-friendliness are no longer optional. They've become essential considerations for many homeowners. As more people become environmentally conscious, the demand for green homes is on the rise. But what exactly should you look for in an eco-friendly home? This blog post will outline some key features that contribute to a home's environmental footprint and can help you live a greener lifestyle.
One of the most crucial aspects of an eco-friendly home is energy efficiency. Homes that efficiently use energy reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save on utility bills. Here are some energy-efficient features to consider:
Insulation: Proper insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling by maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the house. Look for homes with high-quality insulation in the walls, roof, and floors.
Energy-efficient appliances: Appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers consume a significant amount of energy. Energy Star-rated appliances are designed to use less energy without compromising performance.
LED Lighting: LED lights use at least 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last 25 times longer.
Programmable thermostats: These allow you to set your home's temperature for different times of the day, reducing energy use when you're not at home.
Water conservation is another critical factor in green living. Here are some water-saving features to look for:
Low-flow fixtures: Low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets can significantly reduce the amount of water used in your home.
Rainwater collection systems: These systems collect and store rainwater for use in landscaping, reducing the need for tap water.
Native landscaping: Plants native to your area typically require less water and are more resistant to pests and diseases.
The materials used in the construction and finishing of the home also play a role in its eco-friendliness:
Recycled or sustainable building materials: Look for homes built or renovated with materials like reclaimed wood, bamboo, or recycled metal and glass.
Non-toxic finishes: Paints, sealants, and other finishes can release harmful chemicals into your home. Look for products labeled as low-VOC (volatile organic compounds).
A home equipped with solar panels can generate its own clean, renewable energy, significantly reducing its carbon footprint and saving on electricity bills:
Solar panels: These convert sunlight into electricity. The size and number of panels will determine how much of the home's energy needs can be met.
Solar water heaters: These use the sun's energy to heat water for the home, reducing the need for gas or electricity.
In conclusion, when looking for a new home, considering these eco-friendly features can not only contribute to protecting the environment but also provide long-term cost savings. Remember, green living isn't just about the home itself; it's also about embracing a sustainable lifestyle. By choosing a home with these eco-friendly features, you're taking a step towards a more sustainable future.

Two races will take place prior to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ Drivin’ For Linemen 200 Brought To You By Altec on June 25 at Gateway Motorsports Park. Opening the tripleheader will be the Vatterott College Silver Crown Showdown for the open-wheel United States Auto Club Silver Crown Series.
Massachusetts native Bobby Santos III — grandson of asphalt Modified legend Bob Santos — figures to be a heavy favorite after winning the last two Silver Crown races at the 1.25-mile paved oval in 2013 and 2014.
Santos led 80 laps at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana, on May 27 before engine problems forced him out and allowed Tanner Swanson to take the Carb Night Classic. Santos hopes to bounce back when the series visits the St. Louis area in two weeks.
St. Louis resident Chris Windom closed the point gap on series point leader Kody Swanson to just 15 points after winning Friday night’s Horn Schindler Memorial at Williams Grove (Pa.) Speedway. The race marked the series’ return to the historic half-mile dirt oval for the first time in 35 years.
Windom grabbed the lead from Justin Grant on lap 38 and never looked back, although late-race drama featured Bryan Clauson’s spirited drive to second which nearly resulted in a victory. Clauson erased a quarter-lap deficit in the closing laps and challenged for the lead on the white-flag lap, but was unable to halt Windom’s winning bid.
Windom wheeled the RPM/Fred Gormly RPM Auto Enterprise Maxim/J & D to victory. He and Clauson were followed to the checkered flag by series point leader Kody Swanson, Brady Bacon and Grant.

Analog Devices presented a paper on Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) burn-in at the BiTS 2017 Test and Burn-in conference in Mesa Arizona, featuring technology developed by Abrel Products. LVDS is a low power, low voltage differential signal technology designed for point to point and multi-drop driving applications. The challenge for Abrel was to design the high frequency application with the drive electronics located remotely in the cold zone of the Burn-in System. The LVDS driver module was specified to drive up to 200Mhz with good signal integrity verified at up to 120Mhz.

Sanders gets emotional sharing story of Jewish relative who died in WWII
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) was visibly moved to learn that one of his ancestors died fighting Nazis during World War II in a yet-to-be-released episode of “Finding Your Roots” on PBS.
In the interview with host Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Sanders says he is “honored” by his ancestor’s courage.
“I’m proud of his courage, and willingly going to his own death in order to protect innocent people,” Sanders says tearfully in the video. “So I’m very, very proud that I have a family member who showed that type of courage and decency.”
Sanders, who is Jewish, tells Gates that his family members’ deaths during the Holocaust were a major source of inspiration for his entry into politics. The Vermont progressive remarked that the genocide revealed how easily humanity can fall to “barbarity.”
“It just makes us realize how hard we have got to work to not descend into this type of barbarity and to create a world where people can love each other,” he said. “That’s what this reinforces in me.”
Sanders will join HBO star Larry David for the interview with Gates, which will trace the two’s shared heritage. David revealed in July that he had learned he was related to Sanders through the show.
“I thought there must be some connection,” he said at the time. “I love Bernie,” David added, saying he was “very happy” to learn the news.
Sanders himself has joked about his resemblance to the actor, remarking during a CNN town hall last year: “I am Larry David.”
“Anderson, I know you’ve been in journalism for a long time,” Sanders told host Anderson Cooper. “I am Larry David.”

Rachel Portman OBE in Hastings: a look at a film composer’s career
Rachel will hold a unique and intimate evening that explores her career and life of being an Academy Award-winning composer.
As part of the International Piano Festival, she will perform with two young Sussex pianists who have had the exciting opportunity to work alongside her in this rare event.
Born in West Sussex, Rachel began composing at the age of 14 and read music at the University of Oxford, where she became interested in writing music for student films and theatre productions. She gained experience writing music for drama in BBC and Channel 4 films, including Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Mike Leigh’s, Four Days In July and Jim Henson’s Storyteller series.
Since then, she has written more than 100 scores for film, TV and theatre, including: The Manchurian Candidate (Jonathan Demme), Oliver Twist (Roman Polanski), Beloved (Jonathan Demme), Benny and Joon (Jeremiah Chechik), Life Is Sweet (Mike Leigh), Never Let Me Go (Mark Romanek), Grey Gardens (Michael Sucsy), The Legend of Bagger Vance (Robert Redford), The Duchess (Saul Dibb), One Day (Lone Scherfig), The Lake House (Alejandro Agresti), Mona Lisa Smile(Mike Newell), The Human Stain (Robert Benton), Their Finest (Lone Sherfig), A Dog’s Purpose (Lasse Halstrom) and, most recently, Mimi and the Mountain Dragon for the BBC.
Rachel became the first female composer to win an Academy Award for the score of Emma (Douglas McGrath). She was also the first female composer to win a Primetime Emmy Award for the film Bessie (Dee Rees). She has received two further Academy Nominations for The Cider House Rules and Chocolat (Lasse Hallström).
Rachel has written an opera of Saint Exupery’s The Little Prince for Houston Grand Opera as well as a musical of Little House on the Prairie. For the BBC Proms concerts, Rachel was commissioned to write The Water Diviner, a choral symphony, and Earth Song, a commission for the BBC singers of a 20-minute choral piece.
The Inaugural Hastings International Piano Festival will take place from February 26 to March 8 and will host an array of concerts, featuring some of the most celebrated artists including headliner Rufus Wainwright.

Health professionals are calling for government action after a new study found a majority of Ontario university students feel debilitating levels of anxiety and depression, with some contemplating suicide.
The results, published by the Ontario University and College Health Association (OUCHA) last week, surveyed more than 25,000 Ontario students who were enrolled in post-secondary studies through spring 2016. The study questioned participants about everything from substance use to sex—overall mood to performance in class. Despite over 80 percent of the students rating their overall health as "good, very good or excellent," the actual answers they gave regarding their mental health paint a different picture. The results, which were self-reported, show that 65 percent of the students felt "overwhelming anxiety" in the last 12 months, and 46 percent described a level of depression that made it "difficult to function." Among all students, 11.5 percent reported both depression and anxiety, while 13.7 percent had "seriously considered" committing suicide. More startlingly, while only 2.7 percent actually reported attempting suicide in the last 12 months, 9 percent of the total surveyed group reported attempting suicide at least once in their life. These stats are up from the last report in 2013, in which only 58 percent of students reported the same feelings of anxiety, 40 percent the same feelings of depression, and 11 percent had seriously considered suicide. "We're seeing a very concerning increase in students who are reporting an increase in mental distress," Meg Houghton, president of the OUCHA, told VICE Monday. "It's sobering, but very worrying." Read More: How To Look After Your Mental Health During Frosh Week Houghton says that the increase in students identifying with mental health issues is likely indicative of a number of modern stressors—student debt, the internet, lack of job prospects (among a laundry list of other possibilities)—emphasizes that it's also a marker of the progress that's been made in mental health education and reducing the stigma around conditions such as depression. Still, she argues that there is a negative sentiment from much of society that young people are being "too whiny" or are rationalizing laziness with mental health conditions. That stigma, Houghton says, is one of the main limiting factors on getting students help quickly—one that specifically affects students who are low-income, marginalized, or rely on financial aid (the majority of all students, according to OSAP). "I think there is a concerning dismissal of this issue around the student population that they should somehow, you know, buck up, or manage stress, or that they don't belong in post-secondary. That is totally wrong and harmful to the big picture." According to Houghton, the lack of comprehensive strategy on addressing mental health across university and college campuses makes the process of getting help a nightmare, but says it's counterproductive to put up a monetary figure for governments to contribute because it can be limiting the scope of what's possible. "If we were looking for a student population with zero percent rates of [anxiety], or zero percent reports of depression and suicide, what would it take us to get there? That's really how we want to start this conversation," she said. "We want to ensure that students have access to intervention and early support. That's the good side of this story, we know that getting to this problem when people are still young can help a lot." Follow Jake Kivanc on Twitter.

Cho-Cho San Restaurant
What happens when an Italian opera director and a Japanese chef collaborate on a restaurant? Cho-Cho San, a new culinary hot spot in NYC's Greenwich Village, is the result of famed Metropolitan Opera director, Fabrizio Melano, and Jun Nagano, of the venerable Taste of Tokyo, joining forces.
Named after the heroine of the opera Madama Butterfly, Cho-Cho San's menu combines traditional Japanese fare with western overtones and musical references, resulting in novel dishes like the Puccini Roll, a delightful ring of squid tempura stuffed with sushi rice, olives and shiso, or Bakudan, Japanese meatballs with pecorino cheese flecks, and Jun's sister's special sauce.
The interior takes its cues from a traditional Japanese house in which Madama Butterfly might have lived. An outer dinning room faces the street and is connected to a back sanctuary by a sushi bar in the shadow of an imported cherry tree branch. With such a unique combination of eastern and western cultures, it's no wonder that Cho-Cho San is already a melting pot for uptown and downtown denizens, where celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and opera stars like conductor James Levine and soprano Teresa Stratas have all been spotted.
For foodies with Bar Masa tastes but recessionista budgets, the giant sized, reasonably priced sushi boats and student lunch menu make Cho-Cho San an even more appealing destination.

Rainbow trout are considered native in the North Pacific Ocean and associated drainages from the Amur River in eastern Asia, north along the Pacific slope including the KamchatkaPeninsula and extreme northeastern Russia and along the Pacific slope of North America from Alaska south to northern Mexico. Ppin M. These can comprise concrete raceways, flow-through Danish ponds, or cages. Natural History: The diet of the rainbow trout varies; some eat almost everything that drifts by them like insect larvae and pupae. Martinia, 22 2FishBase, The typical brown trout taken from North Carolina water is 12 inches or less in length, but fish greater than inches long are occasionally taken.
The female resumes digging upstream, covering the eggs by gravel carried by the current. But the life histories and reproductive health of wild trout and steelhead are tightly linked and interdependent, more so than has been appreciated, a new Oregon State University study concludes. Hatchery reared rainbows are widely stocked within streams, rivers, ponds and lakes throughout central and western Virginia. In nature, the female digs a shallow pit on clean, gravelly riffles, fanning it hard with her tail. Mechanical feeders, driven by electricity or solar power, are frequently used to feed set amounts at set intervals depending on fish size, temperature and season. Size and Weight They are members of the salmon family and, like their salmon cousins, can grow quite large.
When spawning, females dig out a depression called a redd in the gravelly bottom of stream riffle. Feed formulations for rainbow trout use fish meal, fish oil, grains and other ingredients, but the amount of fish meal has reduced to less than 50 percent in recent years by using alternative protein sources such as soybean meal. The river rainbow trout live only in rivers their whole life. Rainbow trout have also successfully reproduced intermittently in the North Fork Moorman's River since as the result of stocking programs downstream. Freshwater fishes of Virginia.

Photo by John McMillan Genetic research is showing that healthy steelhead runs in Pacific Northwest streams can depend heavily on the productivity of their stay-at-home counterparts, rainbow trout. Then rainbow trout spread into the Columbia River drainage between 50, and 32, years ago.
Milt from more than one male ensures good fertilisation is mixed with the eggs. Fry of about 70 g weight can attain 3 kg in less than 18 months. The research could raise new challenges for fishery managers to pay equally close attention to the health, stability and habitat of wild rainbow trout, the researchers say, because healthy steelhead populations may require healthy trout populations.
Eggs incubated separately from rearing troughs are transferred to rearing troughs after hatching. Fry are fed specially prepared starter feeds using automatic feeders, starting from when approximately 50 percent have reached the swim-up stage. Water is added to activate the sperm and cause the eggs to increase in size by about 20 percent by filling the perivitelline space between the shell and yoke; a process known as 'water-hardening'.
Then the male courts her by swimming near her and shaking his body. Most often, the smallest rainbow trout are found in riffles.Rainbow trout are the most dominate trout in the MountRogers area for example.

Street View for waterways
The network of federal waterways is around 7,300 kilometers long and transports around 230 million tons of goods every year. To ensure that this runs smoothly and economically, the waterways must be kept functional and efficient. In the RiverCloud research project, IAV and its partners are investigating whether the rivers and canals can be better managed in the future through the use of AI, drones and unmanned boats.
To this end, an autonomous and interconnected system consisting of a watercraft and a missile will investigate waterways in tandem and collect infrastructure data about them. This data will help to manage the expansion and maintenance of waterways more quickly and easily.
The tandem system acts cooperatively and records the required data autonomously using the various measuring systems. In the project, IAV is responsible for integrating the measurement and control technology in the drone and watercraft as well as automating them. Equipped with radars, echo sounders, lasers and cameras, the system is thus able to record all infrastructure data – for example, buildings, properties and green spaces – and to create a digital flat image of the watercourses and their surroundings. A bathymetric lidar built into the flight system can even scan the river course down to the bottom, collecting data on water depth, for example.
kilometers is the length of the network of federal waterways.
The system will be deployed in the test area, a section of the Rhine in the Koblenz area, starting in the spring. Then the collected, high-resolution data will be compiled and integrated into models and workflows in water management and transport hydraulic engineering.
