Sale of Tonawanda’s Central School to Hunt is approved 

After the previous sale of the closed Central School building fell through this summer, the Tonawanda City School District found another buyer and, last week at its regular meeting, the Board of Education unanimously approved selling the property to Hunt and Associates for $165,000.
The new deal also provides the district with free storage space in Central for school records for three years. Residents must approve the sale of Central School via a referendum prior to the district finalizing the deal , but a ballot date has not been set at this point. The board approved the sale without discussion or advance notice during its regular meeting last week.
The district previously sold Central to developer David Capretto in April for $220,000, and city residents approved the purchase 722-311. However, Capretto informed the district soon afterwards that he was unable to receive special designations for tax and funding purposes and walked away from the deal.
Throughout the year, a citizens group has lobbied the district and city officials for a city takeover of Central, in order to convert the building into a community center. Gayle Syposs, chairwoman of the citizens group, said in July, after the Capretto deal fell apart, that the group would renew its efforts.
However, Common Council President Carleton Zeisz said Monday that the discussion went nowhere with the Council.
Prior to putting Central on the market, the district twice offered the building to the city, but the Council turned it down. “When the initial sale [fell] through, the school board declared their intent to find another buyer,” Zeisz said. “It’s always been in the school board’s hands.”

New Mexico State offers cash prizes to entice students to attend games

New Mexico State is now offering students cash incentives to attend – and stay at - games.

According to the Las Cruces Sun-News, attendance has been so bad at New Mexico State home games, that university president Garrey Carruthers and members of the community are offering prizes of $2,000 and $250 and a VIP parking pass to student who are still at Saturday’s game against San Diego State in the fourth quarter.

The winner of the $2,000 will be selected from all main campus NMSU students who are taking at least one credit at the school. If the student is there during the fourth quarter, he or she will collect the reward. If not, the prize money will be saved for the next game.
The winners of the $250 and the coveted black parking pass, which allows the driver to park in any lot on campus, will be chosen from the students who are at the game and stay until the fourth quarter.

In two home games this season, the Aggies are averaging 8,696 total fans. The Aggies have lost 15 consecutive games and have been outscored 201-62 this season.

And things probably won’t get better.
Since the Aggies decided to go Independent after the WAC dissolved, the schedule isn’t packed with many winnable games.

Olympics-Review of cost and size a priority, says Ng

 SINGAPORE, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Olympic Games could have less medals and athletes after International Olympic Committee (IOC) presidential candidate Ng Ser Miang said a review of the cost and size would be a priority if he won next month's vote.

 The 64-year-old Singaporean also told Reuters in an interview he would look into scaling back the price and procedures for cities bidding to host the Olympics, a two-year process that is now estimated to cost around $80-100 million.

 "It is time for us to do a major review of the size, the cost, the scale and the complexity of the Games," said Ng at his office on Monday.

"This will be one of the priorities for sure. Even on the bid itself, the process. Whether we can make it more efficient, less costly with more respect to the cities bidding as well as for the sports themselves.
"But at the same time when we talk about reducing the size of the Games there are more sports knocking on the door wanting to be part of it so I think there is going to be a fine balance and we have got to find the optimum solution."
Ng said all aspects of the Games would be looked at and did not rule out increasing the number of sports from 26 but with less medals available in each.

 He is up against Germany's Thomas Bach, Richard Carrion of Puerto Rico, Wu Ching-kuo of Taiwan, Swiss Denis Oswald and Ukraine's former Olympic pole vault champion Sergey Bubka in the Sept. 10 vote in Argentina to replace outgoing Belgian Jacques Rogge.

The softly-spoken Singaporean, an IOC vice president and former international sailor, was non-committal about the areas he would like to slim down, adding he would discuss the issue with all members before making changes.
"There could be a review on the number of athletes, different disciplines, there could be a review of disciplines in the existing sports," added Ng.

"There could be a more optimum allocation of scheduling of competitions. I believe there are some opportunities there for us to look at so we have to, definitely, consider some of these."
YOUTH OLYMPICS
The IOC session in Buenos Aires will also have a vote to decide whether Tokyo, Istanbul or Madrid will host the 2020 Games and which sport should be included in future Games with wrestling, squash and baseball/softball up for inclusion.

 Ng said new sports should use the Youth Olympics as a test venue rather than employing expensive lobbying tactics.

"Youth Olympic Games have been a platform for innovation, for trying out new initiatives, like at the inaugural Games we have seen three-on-three basketball and mixed (gender) teams." he explained.

 The Chinese-born Ng was chairman of the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympics and the successful, if costly, running of that event propelled his bid to succeed Rogge who is standing down after completing a 12-year maximum term.

The father of three was keen to push the pledges aimed at encouraging young people in the Olympic family and wanted to create a "strong youth strategy".
He also discussed the need for education on tackling doping and the major South East Asian problem of match-fixing and illegal betting.

 "We have to be more strategic in allocating resources for this fight and put more resources in sports and NOCs (National Olympic Committees) where there are big problems," said Ng.

The diminutive Ng, Singapore's ambassador to Norway and Hungary, said he wanted to make the work of the IOC more fun for everybody and the organisation "to have a president that was inclusive".
He also said the organisation had received written confirmation from Russian authorities that they will respect the provisions of the Olympic charter about discrimination after much furore over a new anti-gay law.

LG's rumored G Pad 8.3 tablet looks to be the real deal

LG hasn't launched a new tablet since the Optimus Pad LTE in 2012.

(Credit: LG)

A new ad by LG seems to be more than just hinting that it's coming out with a LG G Pad 8.3 tablet. The company has yet to announce that it's launching the small-sized tablet, but a new YouTube ad posted on Monday is book-ended with banners that say: "LG G Pad 8.3."
Not a lot is yet known about this rumored tablet except that it's said to sport an 8.3-inch screen packed with a 1920x1200 resolution, 2GB of RAM, and powered by a quad-core processor. Some reports have pegged the device as small enough to fit into a user's back pocket, despite its hefty screen size.

 

Ex-bosses at JPMorgan unlikely to face charges in 'Whale' scandal

By Emily Flitter and David Henry

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The JPMorgan Chase & Co executives who supervised the traders at the center of the "London Whale" scandal are unlikely to face any charges over a trading debacle that cost the largest U.S. bank more than $6.2 billion, people familiar with the probe said.
Federal prosecutors on Wednesday brought criminal charges against two former JPMorgan traders - Javier Martin-Artajo and Julien Grout - accusing the pair of deliberately understating losses on the trades on JPMorgan's books.
The complaints make only passing reference to their former bosses. Neither Ina Drew, the bank's former chief investment officer, nor Achilles Macris, a former top Chief Investment Office executive, are mentioned by name in the complaints filed in New York.
The filings refer to Drew and Macris only by their titles and said they put pressure on their subordinates at one point to deal with the high degree of risk being taken on in the portfolio of derivatives trades that led to the losses.
There is no allegation in the complaints that either Drew or Macris did anything wrong or encouraged Martin-Artajo and Grout to conceal the losses, which first began to be publicly disclosed in May 2012.
Bruno Iksil, the trader most identified with the losses, is cooperating with federal prosecutors in an agreement which means he will not face charges. Iksil was known as "the London Whale" because of the size of derivatives trades he made.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, when asked by reporters on Wednesday about the prospect of additional actions against higher executives, said: "These are the charges we have brought." He said that the investigation is ongoing.
That the two senior executives may emerge from the year-long investigation unscathed is a sign that the scandal may not do much additional damage to the bank's image or the reputation of its chief executive, Jamie Dimon.
While almost never commenting publicly on Macris, Dimon and his team have cast Drew as a hard-working, loyal veteran of the bank who was betrayed by a small group of rogue employees in her division of the company.
Lee Richards, the lawyer for Drew, did not return calls seeking comment. Edward O'Callaghan, a lawyer for Macris, declined comment. Neither Drew nor Macris could be reached for comment.
Macris, who ran the London division of the CIO and was Martin-Atajo's supervisor, is not cooperating with investigators and long ago returned to his native Greece, according to a person familiar with his situation. He received relatively little attention in a report on the debacle earlier this year from an investigative committee of the U.S. Senate.
Drew, who resigned when the losses became public, was once a member of Dimon's elite operating committee of executives. She was criticized in the company's internal investigation for failing to understand the risks the London traders had been taking as they made $2 billion in profits over several years.
The bank also said she did not ensure that the mechanisms to monitor the risk being taken on by her traders were working.
SUPERVISION QUESTIONS
Several former Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement lawyers said they believed there may be grounds for pursuing a civil failure-to-supervise claim against Drew and possibly Macris.
To do so, the lawyers say, regulators would have to believe there is sufficient evidence that the pair did not heed warning signs about the attempts to hide the losses early last year.
There is no indication that the SEC is planning to bring such a case.
The SEC, for now, is only looking to force JPMorgan to pay a fine and admit wrongdoing as part of a regulatory settlement, said people familiar with the situation.
A senior SEC official did not return calls seeking comment.
Experts pointed to the recent administrative failure-to-supervise claim the SEC filed against hedge fund manager Steven A. Cohen as precedent for holding bosses accountable for the wrongful acts of their employees. The SEC charged Cohen will overlooking signs of unlawful insider trading at his $14 billion SAC Capital Advisors.
Thomas Gorman, a partner at Dorsey & Whitney in Washington and a former senior SEC enforcement lawyer, said a failure-to- supervise claim is still possible. He noted such cases take time to bring and new evidence that comes from Iksil's cooperation could help regulators mount such a claim.
To be sure, emails and other communication records show much of the discussion about the trading strategy and loss reporting for the group linked to the scandal was confined to the three more junior employees: Javier Martin-Artajo, Bruno Iksil and Julien Grout.
In the event a case was brought against the more senior executives, both Macris and Drew could say they requested reports about the group's trading activities and the information they received in response consisted of lies. Drew said as much when questioned by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
"TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT"
Before publicly filing the charges on Wednesday, prosecutors mined evidence from JPMorgan emails and recorded conversations as well as information provided under the deal they made with Iksil.
Dimon dismissed the earliest reports of the losses in April 2012 as a "tempest in a teapot," but soon changed his tone, saying of the CIO, "there are many errors, sloppiness and bad judgment."
"In hindsight," he added, speaking on a May 10, 2012 conference call, the CIO's strategy was "flawed, complex, poorly reviewed, poorly executed and poorly monitored."
Later, Dimon went out of his way to publicly praise Drew for her integrity and hard work for the company. He told analysts in July 2012 that he has "enormous respect" for her, even after all the criticism.
As chief investment officer for JPMorgan, Drew made $29 million in 2010 and 2011, and was among the highest paid JPMorgan employees. She oversaw employees, including more than 100 traders, in New York and London and was responsible for investing as much as $350 billion in 2012.
