== John Lothian News Video Interview ==
There is a regular drum beat in the financial services arena about a "new asset class" or the "next asset class," many of which really aren't actually new.
In recent years, volatility has checked most, if not all, of the boxes for a new asset class. The space has been dominated by the CBOE Volatility Index, better known as the VIX or "fear gauge." But now a new volatility instrument has emerged, the VolDex, which teams Chicago-based options index firm NationsShares with the International Securities Exchange (ISE).
Scott Nations, president and CIO of NationsShares, says his VolDex index, on which the ISE is developing new options and possibly futures contracts, is the next generation volatility index that will address the needs of market users. ISE and his firm are working now to launch new options and futures contracts on the index.

Scottrade

__NOTOC__
Scottrade evolved from a small discount brokerage serving retail investors in Arizona to a powerful global online trading platform that usually ranks in the top 10 in Internet-brokerage surveys. Scottrade has scored industry accolades for customer loyalty, employee training and workplace environment.
Scottrade had about $170 billion in client assets as of September 2016. It has approximately 500 retail branches.
== History ==
Scottrade was founded by Rodger Riney as Scottsdale Securities in Scottsdale, AZ in 1980 and opened its first two branch offices in Phoenix, AZ and St. Louis, MO later that year. In 1981 Riney moved Scottsdale Securities' headquarters to St Louis and by 1990 the firm had grown to 14 branch offices around the USA and then to 57 by 1995 and 200 by 2004.
Today Scottrade has the largest branch network of any discount broker in the US, with 350 offices and 2,000 employees nationwide and offering over 9,500 mutual funds as well as securities, bonds and options trading. Scottrade's 1.7 million customers chalked up revenue in 2007 of just over $1 billion, up from $789 million the previous year.
== Awards Show ==
Earlier this year, Scottrade won its third consecutive Brand Keys Customer Loyalty Engagement Index in the online brokerage category and its second successive Top-125 ranking for excellence in employee training and development by Training magazine. And in January 2008, Scottrade made Fortune magazine's 100 Best Place to Work in the US for the first time, with the magazine citing Riney's eye for young talent and Scottrade's policy of hiring 200 new college interns per year.
== Key People ==
 Scottrade's president and CEO Rodger O. Riney founded the brokerage in 1980 after a stint as general partner with St. Louis-based retail brokerage Edward Jones, with the idea of providing deep discounts on brokerage to retail investors. As an expert in financial technology, Riney quickly adopted the Internet to develop part of Scottrade's business into one of the first web-based discount brokers, launching the company's online trading platform now known as Scottrader in 1996. 
Riney's Internet play paid off quickly by boosting monthly trade volumes 15 percent, and by 2000 90 percent of all Scottrade's client transactions were made online. Nonetheless, he has also stayed committed to expanding Scottrade's network of branch offices, believing the two channels complement each other. Riney has also become well-known to non-network television viewers for his folksy Scottrade commercials that tout his entrepreneurial youth in customer service. 
== SEC Fine ==
In late June, 2008 Scottrade agreed to pay a fine of $950,000 to settle charges by the SEC that between 2001 and 2004 the firm misled customers trying to place NASDAQ pre-open orders. The SEC alleged Scottrade did not conduct enough research to back up claims the brokerage made about extra liquidity at market opening. Scottrade officials say they have since made adjustments for new NASDAQ market structures to rectify the claims.

==Key People==
*Stephen Bennett-Assistant Director for Business Development, Scripps Institution of Oceanography; Executive Director, SPHEAR
*Dr. Tony Haymet-Vice Chancellor for Marine Sciences, Director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego
== History ==
A leader and innovator in oceanography and marine technology for 100 years, Scripps Institution of Oceanography began when the right people, the right place, and the right time all converged in San Diego, California, in 1903. A visionary group of leaders in San Diego believed the West Coast needed a dedicated year-round marine laboratory and that their city was the ideal location. From this fusion of intellect and resources came the nation's first multidisciplinary oceanographic institution, later named Scripps Institution of Oceanography. 
Today, wIth yearly expenditures totaling more than $140 million, more than 300 programs may be under way at any time. These include studies of climate prediction, earthquakes, the marine food chain, and the multidisciplinary aspects of global change and the environment. Scripps operates a fleet of four ships and the platform FLIP for oceanographic research. Cruises range from local, limited-objective trips to far-reaching expeditions in the world's oceans. A century of Scripps science has had an invaluable impact on oceanography, on understanding of the Earth, and on society. More than 300 research programs are under way today in a wide range of scientific areas in 65 countries.
