 Describe the controversy over the AccuWeather iOS app. Respond in 21 sentences.

AccuWeather’s iOS app may be up to something fishy. Security researcher Will Strafach published a warning about the popular weather app’s behavior on Medium and users appear to be paying attention.
I would find this less concerning if the AccuWeather's permission dialog mentioned tracking your home/work location, where you travel, etc.
“Your precise GPS coordinates, including current speed and altitude.
finally: it is not just RevealMobile doing this. there are at least two other companies quietly collecting similar info using embedded code.
TechCrunch has reached out to AccuWeather for more insight and will update the story as it develops.
Update: AccuWeather sent TechCrunch the following statement.
Other data, such as Wi-Fi network information that is not user information, was for a short period available on the Reveal SDK, but was unused by AccuWeather. In fact, AccuWeather was unaware the data was available to it. Accordingly, at no point was the data used by AccuWeather for any purpose.
AccuWeather and Reveal Mobile are committed to following the standards and best practices of the industry. We also recognize this is a quickly evolving field and what is best practice one day may change the next. Accordingly, we work to update our practices regularly.
To avoid any further misinterpretation, while Reveal is updating its SDK, AccuWeather will be removing the Reveal SDK from its iOS app until it is fully compliant with appropriate requirements. Once reinstated, the end result should be that zero data is transmitted back to Reveal Mobile when someone opts out of location sharing. In the meanwhile, AccuWeather had already disabled the SDK, pending removal of the SDK and then later reinstatement.
Reveal has stated that the SDK could be misconstrued, and they assure that no reverse engineering of locations was ever conducted by any information they gathered, nor was that the intent.
AccuWeather will to update its practices, communications and ULAs to be transparent and current with evolving standards. AccuWeather and Reveal continue to enhance methods for handling data and strive to provide superior, seamless, and secure user experiences.
We are grateful to have a supportive community that highlights areas where we can optimize and be more transparent.

 What is Elo ratings and how can I explore it?

We’ve used our Elo ratings system to rate each team before and after every AFL game, resulting in over 10 000 ratings in total1, and now you can explore the full history of AFL team ratings using the graph below. The graph covers the AFL era, which began in 1990.
Elo ratings are a simple but powerful team way of comparing teams’ strength over time. At its core, the system is quite simple. Before each game, we calculate an expected result, based on each team’s pre-game rating and the size of the home-ground advantage. After the game, teams’ ratings rise if they did better than expected and fall if they did worse. The average rating is 1500 and higher ratings are better.
The best and worst teams of the AFL era.
What are the best teams to have missed the finals?
Thanks to FiveThirtyEight for the obvious inspiration.
Our ratings actually start in 1897; there are around 30 000 in total if you include the VFL era. Only the AFL ratings are shown in this post, but the pre-1990 games were used to determine the strength of teams at the start of the AFL era.
The Brisbane Bears and Lions are considered to be the same team for the purposes of our ratings.

 Describe Raymond Allen and his charitable contribution to the City of Portland.

Raymond Allen is remembered as a frugal man whose kindness and generosity will be honored by the City of Portland.
PORTLAND — Raymond Allen was born during the Great Depression and pinched pennies all his life.
He shopped at discount stores. If something was broken, he fixed it. If he needed something, he often built it himself. His clothes were clean, but worn. And he was a dedicated math teacher who thrived on adventure.
His dedication to saving is now paying off for a new generation of Portland High School students: Allen left more than $1 million to support a scholarship fund at the school where he taught for more than 20 years.
This week both the City Council and the School Board are scheduled to honor Allen for his generosity and devotion to past and future generations of local scholars.
Known as “Uncle Ray” to many, Allen established the Mabel C. Anderson Scholarship Fund in 2009. Then, following his death in September 2015, he left nearly the entirety of his estate to support the scholarship in perpetuity.
“The legacy of Raymond W. Allen gives the city of Portland a rare example of a local man devoted to others, whose personal sacrifices have created and will continue to create opportunities for local students for many years to come,” according to a joint council-School Board resolution.
Botana said Allen started the scholarship with a donation of $15,000 and then continued to contribute to the fund over the years. Now, with a final accounting, it totals nearly $1.2 million.
This year, six Portland High School graduates received Mabel C. Anderson Scholarships, which are awarded to students who are in good academic standing, with good attendance, and who have been accepted to four-year college programs in science or mathematics, Botana said.
“Uncle Ray” taught at PHS for 22 years, she said, and “understood the importance of giving students encouragement because they could potentially make positive contributions for all of us.
Nelson said Allen was virtually adopted by her grandmother.
She said during the depression years, Mabel Anderson, who lived near the former Union Station on St. John Street, was well known as “a kind woman,” who might give food to the men who rode the rails looking for work.
“They would stand in her backyard and yell, ‘hey lady,’ and she would put together a bag lunch from what she had available and hand it to them out her kitchen window,” Nelson said.
In addition to his contributions to the Portland schools, Allen was also known for giving out Christmas presents to neighborhood children and for building one of the first clay tennis courts in Deering Oaks Park, according to the city resolution.
Allen attended Portland High School and earned a bachelor’s degree from Boston University before studying for a master’s degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During World War II, Allen served as “a covert investigator and sharpshooter for the Army,” according to the resolution.
He was also an outstanding athlete who nearly made the U.S. Olympic swim team.
After being discharged from the Army, Allen began teaching in a one-room schoolhouse in Pownal. He also taught night school at the University of Southern Maine and held electronics classes in his own basement before being hired at Portland High School.
Overall, “Allen led an austere life, depriving himself of many comforts while taking pleasure in … helping others,” the joint resolution says.

 Describe the experience of Tristan Vautier joining the British GT championship.

Cheatham’s ERC Sport squad will also benefit from the experience and speed of AMG factory ace Buurman, who becomes the latest high-profile Pro driver to join British GT’s ranks. The 30-year- old has contested the Blancpain GT Series, Nurburgring 24 Hours and various standalone endurance events since switching to GTs in 2011, and also won January’s Dubai 24 Hours at the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GT3.
“Only Rockingham will be new to me but it’s also been a long time since I raced in the UK full-time, I was a teenager the last time that happened!” he said. “We have some testing scheduled at Portimao before the media day, and then at Oulton Park just before the opening round, so there’s plenty of time to work with Lee and the team before the season starts.
“This year’s Am and Pro roster looks really strong, there’s no weak pairings out there and we’ll need to bring our A-game every weekend to have any chance of making the top-five. The GT3 grid is incredibly strong.
Buurman joins Jonny Adam, Darren Turner, Marco Sorenson, Nicki Thiim and Rob Bell on the list of recognised factory drivers already announced for this year’s GT3 championship.

 Hey, have you heard about the India U-15 football team's recent win? Respond in 15 sentences.

NEW DELHI: Indian colts continued their winning run with a 2-1 victory over hosts Nepal in their second group stage encounter of the SAFF U-15 Championships today (August 23, 2017) at the ANFA Complex, Satdobato in Lalitpur, Nepal. Vikram and Ravi scored on either side of half-time to notch up the win while Roshan scored the lone goal for the hosts.
India looked to dominate from the word go with Lalrokima’s header striking the crossbar in the 4th minute of play. Ravi hit it over the bar from his free kick while Givson’s effort went straight to the keeper’s hands as the boys piled on the pressure. The breakthrough arrived in the 26th minute when Vikram struck beautifully to end the deadlock.
India could have scored more but they were unlucky to find the back of the net Bekey’s shot being saved and Lalrokima’s header once again finding the cross bar. Just when it seemed India would run away with the game, Nepal earned a penalty in the 40th minute. Roshan’s shot was saved by goalkeeper Jongte but the Nepali skipper scored from the rebound to restore parity as the teams headed level into half-time.
India could have got back their lead right at the start of the first half but Bekey made shot wide from inside the box. A scrappy passage of play ensued before Ravi scored off Givson’s free kick to give India back the lead in the 65th minute. Thoiba could have put the game to bed but he unluckily headed it wide within the 6-yard box.
Aenam and Ricky S both saw their efforts being saved as India pressed on for the third goal. Nepal tried to hit back on the counter but Jongte was on hand to pull off a good save in the 89th minute. With that went all hopes of Nepal tying the contest as India held on to secure victory and become group toppers.
Group B toppers India U-15 next face Group A runners-up Bhutan U-15 in the second semi-final on August 25.

 Describe Uber's recent departure of their head of Human Resources following an internal investigation.

Uber's head of human resources has resigned following an internal investigation into how she handled claims of racial discrimination within the company.
Chief People Officer Liane Hornsey announced her departure in an email she sent to employees on Tuesday. An Uber spokesperson confirmed Hornsey's resignation, first reported by Reuters, and the investigation that prompted it, but would not elaborate on the claims against her.
According to Reuters, an anoymous group of employees, all of them people of color, alleged that Hornsey used "discriminatory language" and made "derogatory comments" about high-level executives at Uber.
"We are confident that the investigation was conducted in an unbiased, thorough and credible manner, and that the conclusions of the investigation were addressed appropriately," an Uber spokesperson said in a statement to CNNMoney.
Hornsey, who joined the company in January, 2017, did not address the probe in her email. "By now you'll have seen the news that I've decided to leave Uber. I know this comes a little out of the blue for some of you, but I have been thinking about this for a while," she wrote in the email, obtained by CNNMoney.
Hornsey could not be reached for comment.
Her departure comes as CEO Dara Khosrowshahi scrambles to change a corporate culture many have described as toxic. Uber has grappled with a string of scandals, including widespread allegations of gender and sexual harassment that led to co-founder Travis Kalanick's resignation as CEO in June 2017.
Larry Johnson, an expert on corporate culture, said Hornsey's departure shows Uber is still in "hot water."
"I'm glad to see Uber is trying to turn things around from the way it was last year," said Johnson, who is the author of a book about corporate culture and integrity called "Absolute Honesty." "If she's guilty as charged, then that's a step in the right direction."
Khosrowshahi praised Hornsey in an email he sent to employees, but did not mention the investigation or allegations against her.
"Liane is incredibly talented, creative, and hard-working. She's been a valuable member of my leadership team and I wish her nothing but the best," he wrote in the email, obtained by CNNMoney.
Khosrowshahi hailed several of her accomplishments, including releasing Uber's first diversity report and hiring a chief diversity and inclusion officer. She also played a role in the company's effort to ensure all employees are paid equally based on their location, role, and tenure at Uber. Such efforts are part of Khosrowshahi's ongoing campaign to burnish the company's image, and the allegations against Hornsey show how big a challenge he faces.
"These are huge issues they've been struggling with," said Cindy Schipani, a professor of business administration and law at the University of Michigan. "The culture still has a lot of room for improvement."
CNNMoney's Sara Ashley O'Brien contributed to this report.

 Explain the recent hack of Gemalto encryption keys and the implications it has for mobile phone users.

Private information protected by the little SIM card in your handset might not be so private after all. Based on new documentation from former NSA-employee-turned-whistleblower, Edward Snowden, The Intercept is reporting on a state-sponsored theft of encryption keys from Gemalto; a company that makes 2 billion SIM cards annually.
According to The Intercept’s report, the U.K.’s GCHQ, working with the U.S. National Security Administration, was behind the hack on Gemalto, providing government agencies with the information by infiltrating the company.
Snowden’s documentation suggests for the first time the formation of a Mobile Handset Exploitation Team (MHET), with the purpose of seeking ways to gain access to handsets and cellular communications. This would allow the agencies to decrypt cellular communications with the knowledge of either private citizens or the cellular network providers, and without requiring a court order.
In short, such a situation removes the potential for any semblance of privacy for individuals using default smartphone services.
Any data, including contacts or saved messages, stored on a SIM card could be at risk for harvesting; but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Mobile phone communications could be harvested in bulk and later decrypted by the agencies, so it’s not just a “real-time” communications problem.
Essentially, then, with these encryption keys compromised, I don’t see how carriers can effectively guarantee privacy on their networks, depending on how widespread the theft really is.
And that points to the core of the problem: With clandestine acts such as this, do we even know if we have all of the information on the agency’s activities? It’s unlikely, at best and extremely concerning.
This post was updated at 1:16pm with Gemalto’s statement.

 Respond in 37 sentences. What happened during the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville?

Yesterday I wrote about the damning 200-page report on the failure of police (and the city) to handle the escalating violence in Charlottesville back in August. To summarize the report briefly, police were not properly prepared or equipped to deal with the situation and once crowds of white supremacists and counter-protesters began battling in the street the police did almost nothing. In fact, this was a strategy on the part of the police who intended to allow skirmishes to escalate so they could declare an unlawful assembly. Police Chief Al Thomas even said “Let them fight…” as people began battling in the streets.
“Not unless I get a command to,” Officer Johnson responded.
“Even if there are people physically hurting one another?” she asked.
“If I’m given the command to act, yes ma’am, I will.” She repeated her question, and he gave the same answer: he would engage if and when he was commanded to do so.
Charlottesville police were ordered to put on their riot gear which meant retreating from barricades to suit up, a process that took them about fifteen minutes. The report notes that some of the officers had never worn the equipment [emphasis added].
In the meantime, the intersection at Market and Second Street descended into chaos. The brawling continued and became violent as Unite The Right demonstrators who had just entered the park began to rove out from the southeast staircase, forming shield walls to push the counter-protesters back. Bottles, balloons filled with unknown substances, and debris flew through the air. The clouds of pepper spray rose every few minutes. By 11:08 a.m., Maurice Jones and the Regional Policy Group declared a local and regional state of emergency. At 11:13 a.m., COB McIntire was put on lockdown.
Chief Thomas’s response to the increasing violence on Market Street was disappointingly passive. Captain Lewis and Chief Thomas’ personal assistant Emily Lantz both told us that upon the first signs of open violence on Market Street, Chief Thomas said “let them fight, it will make it easier to declare an unlawful assembly.” Thomas did not recall making that statement, though he did confirm that he waited to “see how things played out” before declaring the unlawful assembly. Regardless of what he said, Chief Thomas’ slow-footed response to violence put the safety of all at risk and created indelible images of this chaotic event.
The mobile field force formed an east-west line just south of the Lee Statue and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their shields in front of them. At 11:49 a.m., they started to inch south, showing those still present that they needed to leave. By this time, demonstrators and counter-protesters were fighting inside the park, and they engaged in more violent confrontations—throwing debris, attacking each other with sticks, and recklessly spraying pepper spray—within a few yards of the approaching mobile field force line.
In fact, all the police really succeeded in doing at this point was forcing the white supremacist protesters back toward a crowd of counter-protesters and thereby creating more skirmishes and street battles [emphasis added].
The most notorious incident from those tense moments involved a homemade flamethrower and a gunshot. As Alt-Right demonstrators left the park and turned right to move west down Market Street, they passed by counter-protester Corey Long. Video taken by a bystander shows Long igniting the spray from an aerosol canister and pointing the flames at passing demonstrators. Richard Wilson Preston, a Ku Klux Klan leader from Maryland, saw this as he exited the park. He drew his handgun and pointed it at Long while screaming at him to stop. Preston loaded a round into the chamber of his gun then fired a single shot at the ground next to Long. He holstered his gun and walked away. VSP troopers, identified by their neon yellow vests, stood in a line behind two barricades about twenty feet away. None appeared to react.
Even if there was no explicit “stand down” order in place, CPD and VSP both failed to “stand up” to protect human life. Supervisors devised a poorly conceived plan that under-equipped and misaligned hundreds of officers. Execution of that plan elevated officer safety over public safety. The consequence was that many in the crowd felt physically vulnerable despite intense law enforcement presence, a perfect recipe for undermining the community’s faith in law enforcement.
A report published by ProPublica on August 12th indicated it was actually “a group of assault-rifle-toting militia members from New York State” who did more to break up fights in the street than the Charlottesville police. In short, the plan for dealing with this march was such a mess that it’s a little surprising more people weren’t seriously injured.

 Describe the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Missouri becoming a right-to-work state.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a major blow to organized labor that’ll have an impact on public employees in Missouri.
The high bench ruled Wednesday that government workers who choose not to join a union cannot be charged for the cost of collective bargaining, typically referred to as “fair share fees”.
The decision affects state and local public employees in Missouri. It essentially makes Missouri a right to work state for public sector workers regardless of how an upcoming August public vote turns out.
Missouri lawmakers passed a right to work law in 2017 but it was held up when labor groups collected the needed signatures to force it on the ballot. Right to work allows non-union employees to bypass “fair share fees” that unions collect to negotiate worker pay and benefits.
Jeremy Cady with the pro-business group Americans for Prosperity Missouri issued a statement praising the Supreme Court decision, saying it “confirms that Missouri’s choice to become a right-to-work state was the correct one”.
“Not only has right-to-work garnered statewide grassroots support, but now it has support from the highest law of the land,” said Cady.
In the case before the high bench, Mark Janus – a public employee in Illinois (not a right to work state) – challenged the constitutionality of the law that required him to pay fair share union fees, arguing it violated his right to free speech because collective bargaining with the government affects public policy issues and thus is inherently political in nature.
The argument’s reference to government may have offered the justices a new wrinkle because the Supreme Court had previously outlawed the use of fair share fees by unions for political activity or lobbying in 1977.
Dan Mehan, President of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, called the Supreme Court’s decision “a positive step toward ensuring workers have a choice when it comes to supporting a labor union”.
The state’s largest public-sector unions slammed the ruling.
Mike Louis, President of the Missouri ALL-CIO characterized it as an effort by billionaires and corporations to rig the economy against working people.
Danny Homan is President of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 61 which includes Iowa and Missouri.
He said the Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling with its conservative wing prevailing was an attack on organized labor. “This decision has absolutely nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with attempting to destroy unions – the most effective force to propel working people into the middle class,” said Homan.
AFSCME represents 15,000 Missouri public employees, roughly 10,000 of which work for the state.
Organized labor has a relative stronghold in the public-sector where it otherwise has a diminishing presence. More than a third of the public-sector workforce is unionized, compared with less than 7 percent in the private sector.
If the vote August 7th to make Missouri a right to work state fails, the Supreme Court decision will make a bill signed into law this month in Missouri partially obsolete. The new state law that will require employee consent before public unions can deduct union dues would no longer apply to non-union workers.
27 states have passed right-to-work laws over the years while five – Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Kentucky – have done so since 2012.

 Could you tell me what Putin said in the Oliver Stone interview?

The US is to blame for the rise of Al-Qaeda and its late mastermind Osama bin Laden, which it empowered to fight Soviet troops in Afghanistan, Vladimir Putin told Oliver Stone. Putin also said there is proof the CIA supported terrorists in Russia’s Chechnya.
In the first episode of Stone’s hugely anticipated Showtime series, which aired Monday night, the Russian leader reflected on the origin of Islamic extremist groups, including Al-Qaeda.
Washington should have foreseen that backing Islamists will backfire, with extremists eventually getting out of control.
“It always happens like this. Our US partners should have been aware of it. It is their fault,” Putin said.
Nevertheless, Moscow stood by the US’s side after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, claimed by Al-Qaeda. In a show of solidarity with Washington, Moscow decided to scrap the scheduled war games following the attack, Putin revealed to Stone.
“In these kind of situations the first persons are in need of moral and political support. We wanted to show that kind of support,” the Russian leader said.
“If we speak about a political support, there is no need in proving evidence. It has been done publicly, openly. And if we speak about urgent financial support – we have such evidence and furthermore have already provided it to our US colleagues,” Putin said.
Later, however, Moscow got a letter from the CIA through “partner channels,” which suggested there will be no change in policy on the issue.
“Indeed, we have later received via our partner links a letter from the US CIA, which said that our colleagues consider that they have a right to maintain relations with all the representatives of the opposition and would continue to do so. It was obvious that it was not only about opposition groups, but about terrorist groups and organizations,” Putin said.
Touching on the issue of the current state of the US-Russian relations, Putin said that if the US strategy toward Russia is indeed focused on disrupting its economy and toppling its government to get hold of its vast nuclear stockpile, then it is incredibly shortsighted.
“I think that it is a wrong policy exactly because such understanding of relations with Russia is not aimed at future. People, who think like that, do not see further than 25-50 years ahead,” Putin said, adding that attempts to turn Russia state into a vassal state will inevitably backfire.
The Russian president argued that the US has “got a false sense that it is able to do everything without any consequences,” in particular after the Soviet Union’s collapse.
“In such a situation, a man or a country begins to make mistakes… The state begins to function ineffectively. One mistake follows another. That is the trap in which, as I believe, the United States got caught into,” Putin reflected.
The Showtime network began airing “The Putin Interviews,” a four-part series by Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone, on Monday night EST.

 Provide an overview of the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the details of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's proposed testimony.

Brett Kavanaugh's accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford laid out her terms before testifying, including him not being in the room.
WASHINGTON – The woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teens says she is willing to testify about the incident if a number of terms are met.
An attorney for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who claims that Kavanaugh pinned her down at a party in 1982, groped her and covered her mouth when she tried to scream, spoke with the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday, according to two Senate aides.
She spoke with staff for the Judiciary Committee’s chair and ranking member and laid out their requests in order for Ford to testify next week, including that Kavanaugh not be in the same room. Kavanuagh has repeatedly denied the allegations.
No decisions have been made on if Ford’s requests will be honored. These are the conditions she is asking for, according to the Senate aides.
Ford wants Kavanaugh to testify first and then she will tell her story to the committee, a committee staffer said. That request, though, was unlikely to pass muster because it isn't normal practice to have someone who is accused of something testify first and not be able to respond to claims.
She doesn’t want Kavanaugh to be in the room when she is.
Ford wants to be questioned by senators, not a special counsel. Multiple news reports on Thursday indicated a female special counsel was being considered to questioning Ford instead of the committee.
She wants a single photographer in the room.
She said she is willing to testify at earliest on Thursday.
She has requested that Kavanaugh’s high school friend Mark Judge be subpoenaed to testify, a move that a committee staffer said was unlikely because it is not traditional for a committee to subpoena for nominations. Ford says Judge was in the room, but Judge has denied the incident took place when they were all high school students.
Kavanaugh has offered to testify "as soon as possible, so that I can clear my name," he wrote in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley Thursday. He says he is willing to appear before the committee Monday to deny the allegations lodged against him.
It's unclear whether that would change after Ford's attorneys spoke with the committee.

 Explain the implications of Jamie Dimon's comments on Bitcoin.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has come in for high-profile criticism for his comments on Bitcoin.
In a hotly-worded tweet Wednesday, ex-Head of Global Macro Trading Alex Gurevich wrote that Dimon should “STFU” about Bitcoin trading.
“Jamie, you're a great boss and the GOAT bank CEO. You're not a trader or tech entrepreneur,” he added.
The financial mogul garnered considerable scorn from the cryptocommunity and beyond with his words at a New York conference earlier this week. Bitcoin subsequently dropped four percent in price, but commentators were undecided as to whether this was specifically due to Dimon’s rhetoric.
Meanwhile, McAfee founder John McAfee, famous for his Bitcoin advocacy, took to CNBC to voice his displeasure at Dimon.
In a personal address still somewhat toned down compared to his previous comments, McAfee focused on the real “fraud” element being attached to the uncontrolled printing of fiat currency.
“It costs over $1,000 to create each Bitcoin. What does it cost to create a US dollar? Which one’s the fraud?” he asked.
From within cryptocurrency industry, multiple figures have added to the backlash less directly.
Bharath Rao, CEO of Leverj, said today in emailed comments that cryptocurrency will still reward the first movers, which in 2017 can still be anyone who chooses to come on board.
“The ones who have the vision and courage to step in and shape the future will be handsomely rewarded and those who shudder and fear this unstoppable force are choosing to be obsolete with their archaic systems,” he forecast.

 Describe the search for a new vice chancellor for athletics and athletics director at Vanderbilt University.

Vanderbilt announced today the establishment of a search committee and an advisory council for the recruitment of the university’s new vice chancellor for athletics and athletics director. Additionally, Vanderbilt announced that global organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry will support the search.
Jed Hughes, vice chairman and head of global sports practice at Korn Ferry, will coordinate the search process alongside Korn Ferry Senior Associate Kyle Bowlsby. Hughes brings extensive experience and is well-known for helping to recruit top executive talent for major college athletics programs and professional sports across the country. Bowlsby is also experienced in managing high-profile executive transitions at the collegiate level, joining Korn Ferry’s global sports practice in 2015.
The firm, which also partners with 98 percent of the Fortune 100 to address talent acquisition, will identify potential candidates to succeed David Williams II.
Williams has led the Commodores since 2003. Williams announced last month that he will step down from his role as Vanderbilt’s vice chancellor for athletics and university affairs and athletics director once a successor is named and in place.
“David’s leadership and dedication have transformed Vanderbilt Athletics and brought our program to national prominence. We are now looking for someone to build on David’s legacy – someone who understands the value of learning and discovery and how that drives our mission of preparing student-athletes for success on and off the field,” Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos said.
Korn Ferry assisted in the search that identified current Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey following the retirement of Mike Slive in 2015. Zeppos, then president of the SEC presidents and chancellors, chaired that search committee and announced Sankey as the eighth commissioner of the SEC.
The firm has successfully completed searches for athletics directors at Rice University and the University of Virginia, among others.
“Key to our choosing Korn Ferry to assist with our search is the firm’s demonstrated ability to recruit a pool of candidates with diverse experiences and backgrounds,” Zeppos said.
Candidates vying for the Commodores’ top job will interview with a search committee chaired by Zeppos and comprised of Vanderbilt Board of Trust Chairman Bruce Evans; Board of Trust member and Board of Trust Athletics Committee Chair John Ingram; Vanderbilt School of Medicine Associate Dean of Alumni Affairs Ann Price, a former Commodores standout in singles and doubles tennis; and YWCA of Nashville and Middle Tennessee Vice President for External Affairs Shan Foster, a former Commodores basketball player and one of the most decorated athletes in Vanderbilt history.
The university’s search process also will be informed by an advisory council convened by Zeppos to ensure the process is rooted in what he noted in a recent column is “The Vanderbilt Way” – developing students who compete athletically at the highest level and thrive in a rigorous academic environment that helps them develop the leadership qualities that will bolster their success and impact beyond Vanderbilt.
In line with the university’s commitment to listening to, and learning from, a diversity of perspectives to drive progress, the search will be informed by input from a wide range of stakeholders through the listening tour announced by Zeppos in mid-September.
Since that announcement, input has been gathered through dozens of individual meetings with coaches, students and staff, and nearly 1,000 comments from alumni, fans and others via an online feedback form.

 "What is Aaron Rodgers saying about the young players on the team?"

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers finished Tuesday's practice by running the scout team -- a sure sign he won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans -- and he wasn't happy about the way it went. He grew so frustrated that on the final play of the drill, he flung the ball toward a couple of tackling dummies on the sideline.
No, it wasn't that Rodgers loathed the assignment of scout-team reps.
His frustration stemmed from the fact that the young players -- most likely the young receivers -- didn't seem to be giving the drill the effort it deserved. The task is seemingly simple: read the card that shows the play the coaches want run in order to give the No. 1 defense the look it will see from the Titans.
Welcome to the NFL, Rodgers style.
When asked if he was trying to send a message, Rodgers said: "I was just answering the question. I think it's pretty evident to anybody watching the end of practice, there were some mental errors. That's the frustrating thing. It's one thing if you're picturing a play in your mind and you're thinking about it and you're a little off, but when you're looking at a card that tells you exactly where to line up and exactly where the play is, there aren't any excuses for that."
The Packers drafted three receivers -- J'Mon Moore (fourth round), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (fifth round) and Equanimeous St. Brown (sixth) -- yet Rodgers has repeatedly praised Kumerow, a former practice-squad player. There has been a heavy focus on the young receivers, especially given the fact that the Packers cut veteran Jordy Nelson in the offseason.
"I'm getting older and grumpier. I've been at this for a long time. I'm tired, too; we're all a little tired. When you get a little tired, the fuse gets a little shorter."
"I was telling Jake the other day, I watched a play that he was in on, he ran a certain route, he was open on the route. I wasn't the quarterback, we came back three practices later, same call, same coverage, same player -- him -- running the route, and he wasn't expecting the ball," Rodgers said. "I said, 'Hey, I watched that rep three days ago. I saw this play and I reminded myself at the time, if we had that opportunity again, where to go with the football.' I said, 'When you're out there, I'm coming your way.' I have confidence in him. He's in the right spot all the time, he makes contested catches, finishes the right way. He practices like a pro.
"It's a reminder to those other guys, this is what it looks like. 17 [Davante Adams], that's what it looks like; 18 [Randall Cobb], that's what it looks like; 81 [Allison], that's what it looks like; 80 [Jimmy Graham], that's what it looks like; 84 [Lance Kendricks]; 89 [Marcedes Lewis]. Those guys are practicing like pros. That's how you stick around in this league. It's not some of the stuff we've been seeing through practice, and it's repeat mistakes."
Rodgers typically highlights players who stand out, but rarely does he express the kind of disappointment that he showed Tuesday.
"I'm getting older and grumpier," Rodgers said. "I've been at this for a long time. I'm tired, too; we're all a little tired. When you get a little tired, the fuse gets a little shorter. Again, you're in like the 14th play of a 14-play drive and you've got low effort level and an MA [missed assignment], that's a little frustrating."
Said veteran receiver Adams: "I don't think it was necessarily today that made him to where he wanted to say that. I think it's an accumulation over time -- people having to be told the same thing more than once. That could have definitely factored in."
A dejected Moore sat in his locker after practice, and when told of Rodgers' comments said he understood his quarterback's frustration.
"There's specific ways they want it run; they hold the card up there for a brief amount of time, and then that's it," Moore said. "Today was our first time doing it. It happens fast. So it was just something that you have to get used to. It gets easier the more you do it. But at this level, you've just got to get it. They're going to throw you out there and they expect you to have it, and it's something that you've got to develop and be able to just do it."

 Describe your reaction to the ABC conjecture controversy and Mochizuki's behavior.

– in august 2012, Shinichi Mochizuki finishes the fourth of his papers on ‘inter-universal Teichmuller theory’ (IUTeich for the aficianados), claiming to contain a proof of the ABC-conjecture.
– at the time i found these reactions premature. It often happens that the first version of a proof is not the most elegant or shortest, and i was hoping that Mochizuki would soon come up with a streamlined version, more accessible to people working in arithmetic geometry. I spend a couple of weeks going through “The geometry of Frobenioids 1” and recorded my stumbling progress (being a non-expert) on Google+.
In recent (comments to) Google+ posts, there seems to be a growing polarisation between believers and non-believers.
If you are a professional mathematician, you know all too well that the verification of a proof is a shared responsability of the author and the mathematical community. We all received a referee report once complaining that a certain proof was ‘unclear’ or even ‘opaque’?
The usual response to this is to rewrite the proof, make it crystal-clear, and resubmit it.
Few people would suggest the referee to spend a couple of years reading up on all their previous papers, and at the same time, complain to the editor that the referee is unqualified to deliver a verdict before (s)he has done so.
Mochizuki is one of these people.
His latest Progress Report reads more like a sectarian newsletter.
There’s no shortage of extremely clever people working in arithmetic geometry. Mochizuki should reach out to them and provide explanations in a language they are used to.
As far as i understand it, ‘Frobenioids 1’ is all about a categorification of Arakelov line bundles, not just over one particular number ring, but also over all its extensions, and the corresponding reconstruction result recovering the number ring from this category.
Such a one-line synopsis may help experts to either believe the result on the spot or to construct a counter-example. They do not have to wade through all of the 178 new definitions given in that paper.
Is it just me, or is Mochizuki really sticking up his middle finger to the mathematical community.
RIMS is quickly becoming Mochizuki’s Lasserre.

 What happened in North Knoxville yesterday?

NORTH KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Stephen Forthman shoots first and asks questions later. He wears a shirt proudly displaying the words "I don't dial 911" next to a picture of a hand gripping a sixshooter. When it comes time to contact local emergency services for assistance, he'd rather just shoot at the problem until it goes away — even when the problem is his own home being on fire.
No injuries were reported in a large structural house fire in North Knoxville at Forthman's residence on Whittle Springs Road yesterday.

 Describe the housing market in New Hampshire.

REGION—Statewide, and in our backyard, a decade of economic recovery has produced one of the tightest housing markets in recent memory, with rents high and rising, and vacancy rates at record lows. In the North Country, the crunch has been hardest in Coös, and average (for the state) in Grafton.
Statewide, vacancy rates stand at two percent. Rents rose by three percent last year, ahead of inflation, part of a 20 percent rise over the past five years. These increases include utilities, and have accelerated over time.
Vacancy rates are about twice as high in the North Country: 3.9 percent on Grafton, and 3.7 percent in Coös county. That's still low compared to the national average of 7 percent, or the New England average of 5.1 percent. A vacancy rate of about 5 percent is considered healthy—enough slack to absorb new residents, but not too many tenantless properties.
During the 2007-8 housing crisis, rents leveled off for several years, then began to climb about 2012-13. Between 2009 and 2014, Coös County vacancy rates flew as high as 15 percent, indicating a severe lack of tenants. Today, that trend has reversed.
Low vacancy rates mean that housing stock isn't keeping pace with demand, which traditionally leads to higher prices, which puts the crunch on families. In New Hampshire as a whole, 43 percent of renters are paying more than 30 percent of their income in rent—30 percent being a typical estimate of a "normal" proportion to spend on housing.
Last year, the median rent for a two-bedroom home was $1,146 in Grafton county, $861 in Coös, and $1,296 statewide.
Coös County has the lowest median rents of any county in the state. Grafton county is more average, statewide, with Carroll somewhere in the middle. Nonetheless, Coös County has seen the largest increase of any county in the state, with a 31 percent jump over five years. The Grafton numbers are distorted somewhat by the high cost of units in the Hanover/Lebanon area.
One side effect of low vacancy rates may be a reduction in the quality of stock: NeighborWorks's Robert Tourigny suggests that when landlords have an easy time finding renters, they may invest less time and money in the quality of their properties.
"The lack of 'for sale' inventory creates great opportunities for sellers, but puts enormous pressure on first-time home buyers who can be at a severe disadvantage," he wrote.
New Hampshire is building fewer units than it needs to keep pace with job growth, the state reports. By way of explanation, Applied Economic Research's Russ Thireault cited high construction costs, recession-related reductions in the construction trade, and restrictive local zoning and planning decisions.
Local realtors are noticing the crunch too. At last year's Littleton Chamber of Commerce economic celebration, Andy Smith observed that Littleton was essentially "full," with no new units projected. Development at the old Hitchiner building is now expected to add perhaps 100-people worth of units, though rents are expected to continue to climb.
The scarcity, and expense, of rental housing has implications specifically for new families and young workers, who do not yet have the financial capacity to keep pace with rising property market. There is much talk of the need for workforce development, and the critical role housing plays in it. If the economy continues to improve, affordable, accessible housing is sure to remain a hot issue for non-home owners in our area.
