• Trading Machines: Using Spc to Assess Performance of Financial Trading Systems

Traditional quantitative methods used in finance, developed to control market risks accumulated by human traders, do not incorporate quality control. Finance is moving from manual to computer numerical control (CNC). The authors view trading systems that employ CNC as machines with variable outputs-outputs that can be inspected using statistical process control (SPC). Using a sample trading system, they find that quality metrics generate an investment signal contrary to that generated by the traditional metrics of finance. To manage trading machines, SPC can be used in conjunction with classical financial metrics to control risk in systematic trading and investment.

• Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy Assessments: Social Science Methodologies to Assess Goals Related to Knowledge; Public Workshop; Issue Paper

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public workshop entitled ``Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy Assessments: Social Science Methodologies to Assess Goals Related to Knowledge.'' The purpose of the public workshop is to initiate constructive dialogue and information-sharing among regulators, researchers, the pharmaceutical industry, health care organizations, health care providers, and others from the general public about survey methodologies and instruments that can be used to evaluate patients' and health care providers' knowledge about the risks of drugs marketed with an approved Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS).

• Assess the Risk

Most employers are doing it. Few admit to it, and even fewer have considered the legal implications. Companies are mining the Internet and social media for information about job applicants that can't be found on a resume. The problem is that Internet searches turn up a lot of other information normally off-limits to employers in making hiring decisions.

• Request for Information (RFI) on Design of a Pilot Operational Study To Assess Alternative Blood Donor Deferral Criteria for Men Who Have Had Sex With Other Men (MSM)

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is seeking to identify interest and obtain information relevant to the design of a pilot operational study (or studies) on alternative donor deferral criteria that would permit blood and plasma donations (subsequently termed ``blood donations'') by men who have had sex with other men (MSM). Based upon documented higher levels of certain transfusion- transmissible infections (e.g. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)) in some groups of men who have had sex with men, all men with a history of this behavior since 1977 are currently deferred from donating blood. However, the increased effectiveness of donor testing for HIV, HBV, syphilis and other infectious agents has greatly enhanced blood safety. As a result, que...

• Cities Assess Quake Damage

WASHINGTON - There was a crack in the Washington Monument, and capstones were broken at the National Cathedral. In the District of Columbia suburbs, some people stayed in shelters because of structural concerns at their apartment buildings. A day after the East Coast's strongest earthquake in 67 years, inspectors assessed the damage and found that most problems were minor. But the shaking raised questions about whether this part of the country, with its older architecture and inexperience with seismic activity, is prepared for a truly powerful quake.
