Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright Rebuke Young Women Backing Bernie Sanders

MANCHESTER, N.H. — As Democrats consider Hillary Clinton’s candidacy for the second time, women are wrestling with a difficult question: whether they have an obligation to get behind someone who is closer than anyone has ever been to becoming the first female president.

And with her opponent, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, outdrawing her in support among young women, Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy has turned into a generational clash, one that erupted this weekend when two feminist icons, Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem, called on young women who supported Mr. Sanders to essentially grow up and get with the program.

While introducing Mrs. Clinton at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday, Ms. Albright, 78, the first female secretary of state, talked about the importance of electing a woman to the country’s highest office. In a dig at the “revolution” that Mr. Sanders, 74, often speaks of, she said the first female commander in chief would be a true revolution. And she scolded any woman who felt otherwise.

“We can tell our story of how we climbed the ladder, and a lot of you younger women think it’s done,” Ms. Albright said of the broader fight for women’s equality. “It’s not done. There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

Mrs. Clinton, 68, laughed, slowly clapped and took a large sip of her beverage.

In an attempt to explain Mrs. Clinton’s struggles with female voters in New Hampshire, where the nation’s first primary will be held Tuesday, Ms. Albright said during an NBC interview on Saturday that women could be judgmental toward one another and that they occasionally forgot how hard someone like Mrs. Clinton had to work to get where she is.

Women were expected to help power Mrs. Clinton to the Democratic nomination, but as she struggles to overcome a tough challenge from Mr. Sanders and trails him in New Hampshire polls, her support among them has been surprisingly shaky. Young women, in particular, have been drawn to the septuagenarian socialist from Vermont, and the dynamic has disappointed feminists who dreamed of Mrs. Clinton’s election as a capstone to their long struggle for equality.

Ms. Steinem, 81, one of the most famous spokeswomen of the feminist movement, took the sentiment a step further on Friday in an interview with the talk show host Bill Maher. Explaining that women tend to become more active in politics as they become older, she suggested that younger women were backing Mr. Sanders just so they could meet young men.

“When you’re young, you’re thinking: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,’ ” Ms. Steinem said.

Realizing that this was potentially offensive, Mr. Maher recoiled. “Oh. Now if I said that, ‘They’re for Bernie because that’s where the boys are,’ you’d swat me.”

But Ms. Steinem laughed it off, replying, “How well do you know me?”

Ms. Albright has used a version of the line “special place in hell for women who don’t help other women” in other contexts, and it has been memorialized on Starbucks coffee cups. But in the heat of a presidential campaign, many women found it startling and offensive.

In numerous remarks on social media over the weekend, female supporters of Mr. Sanders accused both women of undermining feminism.

“Shame on Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright for implying that we as women should be voting for a candidate based solely on gender,” Zoe Trimboli, a 23-year-old from Vermont who supports Mr. Sanders and describes herself as a feminist, wrote on Facebook. “I can tell you that shaming me and essentially calling me misinformed and stupid is NOT the way to win my vote.”

With backlash growing, Ms. Steinem issued a retraction on Sunday morning.

“In a case of talk-show Interruptus, I misspoke on the Bill Maher show recently, and apologize for what’s been misinterpreted as implying young women aren’t serious in their politics,” she said in a post on Facebook. “Whether they gravitate to Bernie or Hillary, young women are activist and feminist in greater numbers than ever before.”

To some, the apology rang hollow. “Obviously, they are desperate because Hillary’s numbers are falling, so they are really pulling out the heavy artillery,” said Camille Paglia, the author and self-described “dissident feminist,” who supports Mr. Sanders and has been critical of Ms. Steinem before.

The numbers do show signs of softness. According to a Wall Street Journal/NBC/Marist College poll of Democratic voters in New Hampshire last week, 64 percent of women under the age of 45 supported Mr. Sanders, while only 35 percent backed Mrs. Clinton. By contrast, women over 45 backed Mrs. Clinton by nine percentage points.

In her 2008 campaign, Mrs. Clinton played down the history-making nature of her candidacy. But this time, she brings it up regularly. The music at her rallies often rings of women’s empowerment, and she frequently discusses the meaning of being a grandmother.

Marion Just, a political science professor at Wellesley College, has seen this happen to Ms. Clinton before. She was struck in 2008 by how young women on campus gravitated to Barack Obama in his hard-fought battle for the Democratic presidential nomination against Mrs. Clinton, an alumna of the all-women school. Now, they are drawn to Mr. Sanders.

Ms. Just said that she respected women who looked beyond gender when choosing whom to support, but that she was surprised there had not been more excitement about Mrs. Clinton among younger women.

“The question, I think, is how concerned one is about having a woman elected to the presidency,” Ms. Just, who has taught at Wellesley since 1970, said of young women today. “This generation has a rather optimistic worldview, which is probably not deserved by the way things have been going for women in this country.”

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign has recruited young female celebrities like Lena Dunham, the creator and star of the HBO show “Girls,” and the singer Demi Lovato to build a following among millennial women.

During her debate with Mr. Sanders last week, Mrs. Clinton pushed back against his suggestion that she was part of the “establishment” by reminding voters that her election would be the end of a long road for women.

But even young women who would like to see a female president elected someday do not necessarily want to base their vote on that single factor.

“While the historic aspect of the first woman president is hugely powerful and important and would set a really powerful image for young boys and girls to look up to, she might not be the right first woman,” said Dana Edell, the executive director of SPARK Movement, a gender justice advocacy group.

That feeling was evident at a rally for Mrs. Clinton in Iowa in late January when Jaimee and Matthew Warbasse took their 7-month-old daughter to see the candidate who could make history. Women’s rights were so important to them that they named their child Emmeline, after the British suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst.

Still, Ms. Warbasse said she was not sure that she would support Mrs. Clinton, as she also found Mr. Sanders appealing.

“What pulls me to Hillary is that she’s a woman, and a strong woman at that,” she said. “But in the end, it’s about who is going to beat the Republicans.”

SoftBank President Nikesh Arora Plans to Step Down

SoftBank’s chief executive, Masayoshi Son, stands before a screen showing Nikesh Arora. A disagreement between the two led to Mr. Arora’s departure from the company.CreditCreditYuya Shino/Reuters

By Jonathan Soble and Michael J. de la Merced

TOKYO — A former Google executive and Silicon Valley star was on course to be the next chief executive of SoftBank of Japan, one of the world’s most prominent technology conglomerates. Now he is leaving, in an abrupt shakeout that shows cracks in SoftBank’s global ambitions.

When the executive, Nikesh Arora, was poached two years ago from a coveted role as Google’s head of business operations, the hire was widely considered a coup for SoftBank. Its billionaire founder and chief executive, Masayoshi Son, crowned Mr. Arora heir apparent.

Mr. Arora was vaunted for his deal-making prowess and seen as an international executive who would help transform SoftBank with a flurry of investments. One of Mr. Son’s most cherished ambitions was to turn SoftBank, a Japanese business with some notable overseas names like the American carrier Sprint, into a truly global enterprise.

The honeymoon did not last.

Investors have criticized Mr. Arora recently for his record of managing SoftBank’s overseas deals. Investments in start-ups like DramaFever and, these shareholders have said, appear to have soured as the companies have faltered.

And the carefully orchestrated succession plan — or what appeared to be — has collapsed. Mr. Son decided he was not ready to give up the reins soon.

Mr. Son, 58, said in a statement that he still wanted to “work on a few more crazy ideas” at SoftBank. Mr. Son cited differences over when Mr. Arora would take over as chief executive as the reason he had agreed to step down. Mr. Arora, who was born in India, holds the titles of president and chief operating officer.

“This will require me to be C.E.O. for at least another five to 10 years — this is not a time frame for me to keep Nikesh waiting for the top job,” Mr. Son said.

Mr. Arora, 48, also presented the parting as amicable. “Masa and I are still in love with each other,” he posted on Twitter. “I will support everyone I invested in, and they know that.”

Mr. Arora’s legacy — good or bad — will ultimately be determined by his investment record.

SoftBank’s strategy is centered on acquiring other companies, from established businesses to tiny start-ups. Shortly before Mr. Arora arrived, SoftBank bought Sprint for $21.6 billion, a major expansion of Mr. Son’s empire overseas. The Japanese conglomerate also made a fortune when its early investment in the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba slowly swelled to billions of dollars in value.

After joining SoftBank, Mr. Arora was put in charge of picking takeover targets around the world. His mandate was to diversify a company that, despite the Sprint acquisition and others, still makes about 70 percent of its operating profits in its home market. It owns a major mobile phone network and a controlling interest in Yahoo Japan, among other domestic assets.

Mr. Arora struck more than a dozen deals, placing bets on technology, telecommunications and media companies in India, Indonesia and Singapore, among other countries. SoftBank paid $1 billion for a stake in the Korean e-commerce company Coupang. It plowed $250 million into WME-IMG, the giant American media and sports agency. India has been a particular focus, and Mr. Arora led investments into businesses like Snapdeal and OYO Rooms, which aspire to be its Amazon and Airbnb.

Recently, SoftBank has been selling assets and raising cash, a pattern that has been a prelude to big, strategic deals. On Tuesday it sealed an agreement to sell its majority stake in Supercell, the developer of “Clash of Clans” and other mobile games, to China’s Tencent Holdings for about $8.6 billion. It also recently sold about $10 billion of shares in Alibaba.

Expectations for Mr. Arora had been high. Besides his Google pedigree, he had been unusually well paid.

In his first six months at SoftBank, Mr. Arora earned 16.6 billion yen, or $159 million at current exchange rates, including a signing bonus, according to company disclosures. That made him one of the best compensated executives in the world during that period, and one of the highest paid executives in Japan, a country known for relatively low pay at the upper echelon.

He earned about 8 billion yen last year. Mr. Arora made a huge personal financial commitment to SoftBank in 2015, buying 60 billion yen of the company’s shares.

But some of his bets haven’t panned out. DramaFever, a Korean video site, shed traffic months after SoftBank invested in the business, prompting the Japanese company to find buyers for some of its stake.

This year, SoftBank has defended Mr. Arora against criticism from a group of mostly anonymous international shareholders, who laid out their case against Mr. Arora in a letter to the company’s board in April. They said a number of start-ups he backed have fizzled. They also questioned his decision to remain an adviser to an American investment firm, Silver Lake, that could potentially compete with SoftBank for deals.

“Mr. Arora’s investment strategy as the C.E.O. of SIMI appears to be nothing more than throwing a dart at a dart board,” a lawyer representing the investors wrote in the letter, referring to SoftBank’s internet and media operations as SIMI. “How many more millions of dollars of shareholder value must be wasted before the board realizes something must be done?”

A representative for Silver Lake declined to comment. Advisers like Mr. Arora generally receive limited insight into the private equity firm’s deliberations and spend only a few hours a month with Silver Lake.

SoftBank said on Monday that an internal panel set up to investigate the investors’ claims had found no evidence of conflict of interest or other misconduct. Still, the episode may have shaken Mr. Son’s trust in Mr. Arora, soured Mr. Arora on SoftBank, or both.

“Clean chit from board after through review. Time for me to move on,” Mr. Arora said in another tweet on Tuesday.

And it was always an open question whether Mr. Son would readily give up control.

Mr. Arora was one of only a small number of non-Japanese to have attained a top management position at a major Japanese company. He faced fewer bureaucratic and cultural obstacles than most, in part because SoftBank’s power structure is simple. SoftBanks starts and ends with Mr. Son, who founded the company in the 1980s and runs it with unquestioned authority.

“I feel my work is not done,” Mr. Son said in a statement on Tuesday.

An article on Wednesday about the abrupt departure of Nikesh Arora, who was in line to be chief executive of the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, referred incorrectly in some editions to the Chinese company Alibaba’s main line of business. It is e-commerce, not search.

Jonathan Soble reported from Tokyo and Michael J. de la Merced from New York.

Election 2008

On the Issues: Iran

During the campaign, as Iran has kept building centrifuges to produce nuclear fuel, both candidates have been less than specific about three big issues. The first is how to gain leverage against Iran: While each candidate has called for greater sanctions, neither has said how he would decide if it was time to invoke military options.

The second is what military action, if any, might work: Intelligence officials say they believe that Iran’s nuclear facilities are so well dispersed that an attack against the biggest sites might only set the nuclear program back by a few years.

And neither candidate has addressed the most likely scenario: That Iran would acquire the fuel and technology for a bomb, but not build or test one. That would leave it just within the limits of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, but poised to make a weapon on short notice.

John McCain Headshot

John McCain

U.S. Senator

Senator Obama has said he would do anything in his power to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and has spent much of the campaign defending his willingness to negotiate with Iran. He argues that a big mistake the Bush administration made was being unwilling to talk to enemies. When Mr. Bush finally relented in the case of North Korea, he has said, the United States began to make some small progress.

But Mr. Obama has also said he would keep “all options on the table,” the code words for possible military strikes, and he has said that at the end of a negotiation, Iran should not be producing any nuclear fuel on its own territory. His aides stress the need to make clear to Iran how it might benefit by abandoning its nuclear ambitions and ending its support for terrorism.

Senator McCain has called for strong sanctions on Iran to prevent it from becoming a nuclear-weapons state, and has strongly hinted that he would be willing to act militarily. “There’s only one thing worse than the United States exercising a military option,” he has often said. “That is a nuclear-armed Iran.”

He has also insisted that he would not negotiate with the Iranians without preconditions, and that Senator Obama is “naïve” if he thinks he can just sit down with the Iranian leadership and reach agreement.

But Senator McCain’s aides say that if Iran’s behavior changed radically, the senator would “consider” the question of whether Iran could one day be trusted to produce nuclear fuel on its own soil.

Diplomatic Efforts

Advocates engaging in direct diplomacy; wants to tighten economic sanctions with international cooperation

"I would meet directly with Iranian leaders. I would meet directly with Syrian leaders. We would engage in a level of aggressive personal diplomacy in which a whole host of issues are on the table. ... Iran and Syria would start changing their behavior if they started seeing that they had some incentives to do so, but right now the only incentive that exists is our president suggesting that if you do what we tell you, we may not blow you up. ... A serious, coordinated diplomatic effort will, if nothing else, change world opinion about our approach to Iran and will strengthen our ability should they choose not to stand down on the nuclear issue, for example, or to continue to engage in hostile activity even if directly inside Iraq."

The New York Times, Oct. 31, 2007

"I have a plan right now to make sure that private pension funds in this country can divest from their holdings in Iran. Until we have gathered the international community to put the squeeze on Iran economically, then we shouldn't be having conversations about attacks in Iran."

Democratic debate, Sept. 26, 2007

"Contrary to the claims to some, I have no interest in sitting down with our adversaries just for the sake of talking. But as president of the United States, I would be willing to lead tough and principled diplomacy with the appropriate Iranian leaders at a time and place of my choosing if and only if it can advance the interest of the United States. That is my position. I want to be absolutely clear."

American Israel Public Affairs Conference June 4, 2008

Would meet with the Iranian president with no preconditions

"I would [be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of my administration ... with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea]. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them -- which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration -- is ridiculous."

Democratic debate, July 23, 2007

Since that statement, has argued that he never suggested that the first meetings would be at the presidential level, and that preconditions are less important than “careful preparations.”

Wants to form an alliance with European countries to put economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran

"What I would be concentrating my efforts on is trying to get a league of democracies outside of the U.N., because Russia and China are going to veto just about anything we want to act effectively against Iran, and those league of democracies should cut off any kind of loans, which are being extended as we speak by European banks; diplomatic, other sanctions to put real pressure on a rather fragile economy in Iran. I think that's the way we should pursue this."

MSNBC, Sept. 17, 2007

Would not engage in unconditional diplomacy

"The answer is not to enter into unconditional dialogues with these two dictatorships [Iran and Syria] from a position of weakness. The answer is for the international community to apply real pressure to Syria and Iran to change their behavior. The United States must also bolster its regional military posture to make clear to Iran our determination to protect our forces in Iraq and to deter Iranian intervention in that country."

Campaign Web site

Military Strikes

Military option not off the table

"I've said repeatedly that military options should remain on the table. The question is do you lead with those or do you present carrots and sticks at the same time. I think Iran understands what military threats we boast. They're not surprised we could strike them and strike them hard. What we haven't suggested in any way is what advantages they would have in acting more responsibly in the region. That's then the mission ingredient. As president, I will use whatever military force is necessary to protect U.S. citizens and interests around the globe. But what I also understand is that the military option is not the only option in the toolbox."

NPR, Oct. 13, 2007

Military option not off the table

"Every option must remain on the table. Military action isn't our preference. It remains, as it always must, the last option. We have some way to go diplomatically before we need to contemplate other measures. But it is a simple observation of reality that there is only one thing worse than a military solution, and that, my friends, is a nuclear armed Iran."

Speech to Christians United for Israel, July 17, 2007

Would consult with leaders of Congress

"If the situation is that it requires immediate action to ensure the security of the United States of America, that's what you take your oath to do when you're inaugurated as president of the United States. If it's a long series of build-ups, where the threat becomes greater and greater, of course you want to go to Congress. ... I would at minimum consult with the leaders of Congress because there may become a time where you need the approval of Congress."

Republican debate, Oct. 9, 2007

OU students, faculty take part in interprofessional workshop on opioid crisis

OU students, faculty take part in interprofessional workshop on opioid abuse
Panel Discussion
Pictured from left: panel moderator Stephen Loftus, Ph.D., and panelists John Krauss, Ph.D. PT; Judith Fouladbakhsh, Ph.D., RN; Gregg Warren, D.O. and Bruce Hillenberg, Ph.D., discussed issues related to the opioid crisis in the U.S.

This past week, students in the Oakland University School of Health Sciences, School of Nursing and Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine gathered in the Oakland Center Banquet Rooms to take part in a workshop and discussion about the nation's growing opioid abuse epidemic.

“It is a major issue right now in health care, especially throughout Michigan as well as nationally, so we knew that every one of our professions is dealing with this,” said Deb Doherty, PT, Ph.D., an associate professor with the Physical Therapy Program at Oakland. “With the change in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines (regarding opioid use), we needed to be more aware of what those changes were and how they were going to affect our practice.”

The event, which represented the first interprofessional education workshop of its kind at Oakland, kicked off with a talk from keynote speaker Linda Vanni, MSN, RN-BC, ACNS-BC, NP, who is co-chair of the Ascension Health System Pain Management Steering Committee and co-chair of the St. John Providence Pain Advisory Group. Vanni told the audience about her experiences working in health care, with particular focus on new CDC guidelines regarding the use of opioids to manage patients' pain.

Linda Vanni

Keynote speaker Linda Vanni, MSN, RN-BC, ACNS-BC, NP, shared her expertise on patient advocacy and pain management issues.

“Every single person in here is a patient advocate,” she said. “It is our moral responsibility to treat patients' pain . . . but that does not mean we need to use opioids.”

Opioid abuse is among the nation’s fastest-growing public health crises. According to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an average of more than 650,000 opioid prescriptions are dispensed and 78 people die from opioid-related overdoses per day in the U.S. Opioids can be highly addictive and include drugs such as hydrocodone (Vicodin) and oxycodone (Percocet).

The keynote was followed by a panel discussion highlighting non-opioid pain control strategies and intervention options to curb the use of prescription opioids. The panel was moderated by Stephen Loftus, Ph.D., OUWB associate professor of medical education, and was composed of four individuals:

  • John Krauss, Ph.D. PT, professor of physical therapy in the School of Health Sciences

  • Judith Fouladbakhsh, Ph.D., RN, associate professor in the School of Nursing

  • Gregg Warren, D.O., radiologist, Beaumont Health

  • Bruce Hillenberg, Ph.D., pain psychologist, Beaumont Health

Case Study Discussion

Students from the School of Health Sciences, School of Nursing and Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine examined a case study to explore interdisciplinary approaches to patient care.

After the panel discussion, students were presented with a case study involving a typical patient in a clinical setting and were tasked with coming up with an appropriate intervention plan. Each student group consisted of graduate nursing, health sciences (Doctor of Physical Therapy and Master of Public Health) and medical students, along with a faculty facilitator.

Here is what students had to say about the workshop:

Sameen Ansari, a first-year OUWB student, described the experience as “a great way to see the mindset each profession has and understand their approach to treating the patient. When all of us are informed about what the other professions can do, we can present a unified message to the patient about how to manage their pain.”

Jacob Hekker, a student in the Oakland University-Beaumont Graduate Program of Nurse Anesthesia, added, “There needs to be a culture change away from opioids being the main therapeutic choice for treating patients with pain and move towards other integrative therapies such as non-opioid pain relievers, psychosocial support, massage therapy, yoga, and acupuncture. We all need to collaborate to figure out what each patient needs because each patient responds to treatment differently.”

Caitlin Williams, a physical therapy student, said, “We’ve done case studies before, but you really only get a physical therapy perspective. It was very interesting to work with other professionals to understand how they will see the same case that we've seen in physical therapy but have a whole different perspective on it. Discussing that with other people will make me consider a case in a different way now when I see a patient.”

Melissa Lakin, a registered nurse, who is nearing completion of OU’s Family Nurse Practitioner program, noted the importance of communication in protecting the well-being of patients. “In health care, there can be a lot of moments of miscommunication,” she explained. “The best way to get past that is to use this interdisciplinary approach of always communicating with other professionals that are in charge of someone's care.”

The Oakland University Interprofessional Education Task Force, which is composed of faculty from the School of Health Sciences, School of Nursing and Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, organized the workshop and is conducting a research study to examine the attitudes of students related to interprofessional teamwork, roles, and responsibilities, patient centeredness, biases, diversity and ethics, and community-centeredness.

Funding and support for the workshop was provided by the Midwest Interprofessional Practice Education and Research Center (MIPERC) Grant; OU School of Health Sciences Seed Grant; Theta Psi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau (Honor Society of Nursing); Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine; and Graduate School Physical Therapy Association.

George S. Nissen

Patrolman George Nissen succumbed to injuries sustained 10 years earlier when he was assaulted while attempting to break up a large fight on February 13th, 2005.

He had responded with other officers to the disturbance at a bar at 1622 North Mannheim Road. As Patrolman Nissen approached one of the subjects in the fight he was attacked and thrown to the ground, striking his head on the pavement.

He initially believed he was okay but a short time later during his shift he began to feel ill. He was taken to a local hospital the following day where it was discovered he had suffered a concussion, which resulted in several surgeries. He suffered a serious complication during one of the surgeries which resulted in him becoming a quadriplegic and unable to speak. He passed away as a result of his injuries on March 12th, 2015.

Patrolman Nissen had served in law enforcement for 27 years, having served with the Stone Park Police Department and Northlake Police Department. He is survived by his daughter and four brothers. One of his brothers served with the Northlake Police Department.

Employment and Skills Strategies in Slovenia

image of Employment and Skills Strategies in Slovenia

This report takes a case study approach, analysing the management and implementation of policies in the Drava and South-East regions of Slovenia. It provides a comparative framework to understand the role of the local labour market policy in matching people to jobs, engaging employers in skills development activities, as well as fostering new growth and economic development opportunities. It includes practical policy examples of actions taken in Slovenia to help workers find better quality jobs, while also stimulating productivity and inclusion.

This report was prepared as part of the Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme within the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Local Development, and Tourism (CFE) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It has been undertaken in co‐operation with the Slovenian Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities. Special thanks should be given to Ms Urška Kovač-Zlobko, within this Ministry as well as Mr Gorazd Jenko within the Government Office for Development and EU Cohesion Policy for their contributions to this report and participation in the OECD study visits.

Microsoft Teams

Group Collaboration with Microsoft Teams

A New Powerful Group Collaboration Platform – Microsoft Teams, designed to improve how people communicate and carry out their job responsibilities. It is chat-based, meaning that it is built for your office conversations and content.

Microsoft added another tool to the Office 365 satchel called Microsoft Teams. The workspace tool is designed to improve how people communicate and carry out their job responsibilities. It is chat-based, meaning that it is built for your office conversations and content. Microsoft Teams aims to alter the way colleagues keep in touch during projects and how they share information.

Communication is fundamental to any organisation and the tools available to facilitate it determine how well it turns out. Microsoft has been providing communication solutions for business with Office 365 offering tools like SharePoint, Yammer and Flow. Teams is an addition with multifaceted benefits for businesses.

Transition seamlessly between apps

A company using Office 365 will have employees on multiple applications for different tasks. You can find one person on Yammer, Skype for Business and maybe, Planner. The same individual may also have to switch between Office Excel and Word. A lot of time is lost when you have to move around various applications throughout the day. Microsoft Teams solves that by gathering all the apps in one central location. When a user opens Teams window, she or he can perform several tasks such as delete, share, and edit without leaving the browser. Besides saving time, a central hub for your organisation’s apps means that people share information without jumping too many hoops.

Chat as a team on Microsoft Teams

Teams is a feature-rich chat tool that is built to take communication to the next level. Members of a team can enjoy persistent and threaded chats that make interactions less complicated. Users don’t have to worry about messy inboxes with hundreds of conversations from different people as the chats are visible to all team members and are kept in one place. The searchability of chat makes the process of finding old conversations a simple one. Colleagues can initiate group or private conversations as the occasion requires. The Skype integration on Microsoft Teams makes it possible to hold video and voice conferences. Team members can also chat and message each other instantly on Skype. The ability to chat in real-time is another upside of Microsoft Teams for business. Instead of team members waiting for email replies, they can take advantage of the fluidity of instant chat.

Teams keeps people on the same page

The productivity of a team especially one that involves different department relies on constant updates. When working on a project, team members have to be on the same page. If one person makes progress or adjustment to certain elements, he or she has to inform everyone else. Microsoft Teams makes this possible in the simplest way. It allows teams to have meetings and keep each other up to date. From engineering to marketing, Microsoft Teams gives workers a modern workspace where they can access the same information. If a team member missed part of a conversation, he/she could access it in the history, whether it was public or private.

A customisable workspace

Microsoft Teams is designed for different types of customisation to suit specific teams. Each team in an organisation has its ways of doing things, and that means it needs tools that correspond to its particular requirements. The finance team, for instance, can set the workspace to update only the apps relevant to members. A team can set chats based on a set of pertinent topics, which filters out all the other unnecessary conversations. Microsoft Teams allows users to connect with third-party platforms like Twitter by providing notifications. Therefore, a team can personalise the application to keep up with certain social media activities. The customisation feature ensures that teams don’t miss out on information critical to their operations.

Teams provides security

The safety of customer data is a huge priority for any organisation given the numerous vulnerabilities that modern systems are prone to. Microsoft Teams understands that and ensures that all your information is secure by encrypting it whether it’s in transit or at rest. The chat workspace is big on transparency and doesn’t have standing access to your customer data, which is always a concern when using third-party applications. The same security compliance you get from Office 365 is what Microsoft Teams offers so you can expect support for ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC 2 and EU Model Clauses. Microsoft’s global datacenter network is one reason its products are preferred by a majority of businesses and Teams is served and managed by the same.

A company that already has Office 365 can enable Microsoft Teams and start capitalising on all the features it comes with. The communication possibilities provided by Teams are endless. Its flexibility gives users better control of their interactions. An enterprise can significantly boost the efficiency of its workers by integrating Microsoft Teams in its office 365. The compatibility of Teams with other applications like SharePoint, Planner and PowerPoint provides employees with everything they need in one place. The application works on web platforms, Android, Mac and other devices.

EU legislation

Third Package

One of the most important pieces of EU legislation on European gas and electricity markets is referred to as the Third Package. It consists of three Regulations and two Directives and came into force on 3 September 2009.

One of the key aims of the Third Package was to further liberalise European energy markets.

The Third Package designated the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA),  as the National Regulatory Authority (NRA) responsible for regulating Britain’s energy market.

NRAs are required to have regulatory independence and act independently of any market interests. They should not seek or take instructions from any organisation, whether a government or other public or private entity, when carrying out the regulatory tasks.

The NRAs across Europe cooperate through the Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), which was established under the Third Package to assist NRAs perform their duties at EU level.

One of the core provisions of the Third Package is ensuring that Transmission System Operators (TSOs) are unbundled (or independent) from generation, production and supply interests and are required to be certified as being so.

The Third Package envisages that this unbundling will be effective in removing any conflicts of interests between producers, suppliers and transmission system operations. This will create incentives for necessary investment and guarantee access to new market entrants under a transparent and effective regulatory regime.

We are responsible for certifying TSOs’ compliance with the Third Package unbundling requirements.

Cooperation between TSOs was also established through the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSO-G). An equivalent body was also created for electricity, (ENTSO-E).

In addition, the Third Package encourages long-term investment by requiring ENTSO-G (and ENTSO-E for electricity) to publish non-binding Ten-year Network Development Plans (TYNDPs) every two years.

The UK contributes to this process through supporting the European TYNDP programme of work.

Central to our work, and a core element of the Third Package, is the requirement to ensure consumers are protected. The Third Package sets out obligations on suppliers relating to:

  • customer bills
  • the contents of supply contracts
  • the length of time for which supply data must be retained
  • the length of time it should take a consumer to switch their supplier (no more than three weeks).

Energy Infrastructure Package

The European Commission published its proposal for a Regulation on guidelines for Energy Infrastructure in Europe on 19 October 2011. The Regulation, which largely came into force in July 2013, covers both the gas and electricity markets and aims to ensure that strategic energy networks and storage facilities are in place by 2020.

The Energy Infrastructure Package (EIP) came about in response to the Commission’s 2nd Strategic Energy Review published in November 2008. The review identified a need to enhance the existing Trans-European Energy Networks (TEN-E), highlighting that there was insufficient investment, lack of European coordination, no inclusion of innovative technological projects and lengthy procedures.

Under the EIP, projects of common European interest will be selected by European Member States and the European Commission to fulfil particularly important gaps in European energy infrastructure.

European Framework Guidelines and Network Codes

The Third Package created a regulatory framework to support a single, European Energy Market by developing European-wide Network Codes.

The Network Codes will form a legally binding set of common technical and commercial rules and obligations that govern access to and use of the European energy networks. On gas, network codes have been and will be developed on Capacity Allocation Mechanisms, Gas Balancing, Transmission Tariff Structures and Interoperability.

Blue Devils send eight to regionals

Mason Crist

CUYAHOGA HEIGHTS—Led by senior Mason Crist, who placed among the top four in three different events at Friday’s Division III district track meet at Cuyahoga Heights High School, Independence advanced eight athletes to next week’s Massillon Perry Regional.

Crist finished fourth in the pole vault, and second in both the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles.

He cleared 11-feet in the pole vault and ran a time of 15.88 seconds in the 110 hurdles and 42.31 in the 300s.

“I’ll never be satisfied with my performances, however, I wasn’t upset with any of them,” Crist said. “This week was all about qualifying. Next week is a big week with a lot of demand. I’ll really have to train hard this week in practice and strap down to run my best races.”

Crist also placed seventh in the high jump (5-6).

Junior Robert Artrip and sophomores Luke Clymer and Emily Skoczen all advanced to regionals in two events.

Artrip was second in the discus (139-10) and the pole vault (13-6). He also finished fifth in the shot (44-5).

“It feels great to keep my season alive; especially with the tough competition to advance in discus,” Artrip said. “It feels good to join the elite group at regionals. I had my big breakthroughs at the right time for districts. I’m happy with my throw but I know I’m still capable of more. Likewise, for pole vault, I managed to get onto bigger poles right when I needed to and it made it possible for me to clear 13-6 and it gave me a chance to get comfortable jumping higher bars for next week.”

Artrip has targeted the 14-foot mark for the pole vault next week to increases his chances of qualifying for the state meet.

Clymer finished third in the discus (138-9) and the shot put (46-6 ½).

“It’s definitely a good feeling to qualify for regionals in both shot and disc since I only qualified in disc last year,” Clymer said. “I will have to have my best performances of the year to place top four at regionals and continue to states, but it will still be great to compete at a higher level this week.”

Skoczen placed fourth in the open 800 with a time of 2:31.69 and also ran a leg in the 4×800-meter relay, which finished third in 10:16.23.

“I knew with my recent times I was sitting fourth in the 800,” Skoczen said. “My plan is always to attack the first lap and get out in front. My time could have been faster but I’m proud of my fourth place finish and advancing to the regional meet next week. Our 4×800 team this year has become really close with each other and it has become my favorite race to run this year. At this point in the season, it all comes down to how hard you worked throughout the year. Our coaches have been preparing us for the regional meet so I think all of our hard work will show.”

Senior Christina Brunsman and freshmen Makenna McGhee and Paige Westerburg also ran in the 4×800.

Brunsman is ready for her final regional competition with an eye on advancing to the state meet the following week.

“I am very relieved we made it out in the 4×8,” she said. “I think it shows great determination from our team to have such a great accomplishment. As a senior, I know how great this accomplishment is and we have to work extra hard to make it to states. I know all four of us will dig deeper and go the extra length to make it.”

Senior Ryan Zygmunt advanced to regionals in the 400-meter dash after finishing second at districts with a time of 52.47 seconds.

“It’s great that I’m able to continue my season,” Zygmunt said. “As a senior, I have been trying to make the most of the limited time I have left and this obviously helps with that. My goals going into next week are to continue setting PRs and see how far that takes me. I’m just going to continue to with the same dedication and work ethic I have had all year.”

Ant McPartlin and wife Lisa Armstrong confirm divorce after 11 year marriage[Wenn]

Ant McPartlin checked into rehab in the summer of 2017 after opening up about his ongoing battle with alcohol and substance abuse.

Following rehab, he opened up about the effect his battle has had on his relationship to wife Lisa Armstrong.

"I've put Lisa through hell with mood swings and depression and how it affects you,” he told The Sun.

He added: "I'm very sorry about the effect it has on partners. This kind of stuff puts strains on any marriage. In hindsight, I should have mentioned it earlier but you’re embarrassed about it."

The presenter also went on to praise his wife, saying she had been "amazing throughout".

But despite their admirable support for one another, Ant and Lisa confirmed they would divorce in January 2018.

Here's everything you need to know about Ant's wife Lisa:

How did they meet?

Lisa and Ant go way back, having first laid eyes on each other in 1994.

The long term lovers met at a concert in Newcastle City Hall.

Back then, Ant was better known as PJ of PJ and Duncan fame, and they'd just released their mega hit Let's Get Ready to Rhumble.

Lisa meanwhile was in a band called Deuce, making them the perfect musical pair.

When did they get married?

Despite dating since the nineties, Ant, 41, and Lisa, 40, waited over a decade before tying the knot.

In 2006, Lisa waltzed the aisle in a Buckinghamshire-based church, surrounded by 150 guests.

Naturally, Dec was by Ant's side as his best man.

What does Lisa do?

For her latest campaign with Rimmel, Kate is the star of a short film featuring the supermodel taking part in various 'rock 'n' roll' antics, including some standard nudity. The clip shows Kate rolling around in bed with several fellow models (who end up bouncing around in wet t-shirts), before joining a band, running around a building naked, stealing a red dress and finally flying away in a helicopter.

Bipolar Androgen Therapy Effective After Enzalutamide in mCRPC

Jason Harris
Published: Thursday, Jan 11, 2018

Benjamin A. Teply, MD
Benjamin A. Teply, MD
One-third of asymptomatic men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who progressed on enzalutamide (Xtandi) achieved a 50% decline in PSA concentration from baseline (PSA50) following bipolar androgen therapy (BAT).1

The small study also showed that BAT resensitized most patients to enzalutamide (Xtandi) rechallenge.

Thirty men enrolled in this single-center, open-label, multicohort phase II study from August 2014 to May 2016. Twenty-nine completed BAT. Nine patients (30%; 95% CI, 15-49; P <.0001) achieved a PSA50.

Twenty-one patients proceeded to enzalutamide rechallenge, 52% of whom achieved a PSA50 (95% CI, 33-71; P <.0001).

“These data are promising, considering published series have shown evidence of cross-resistance between abiraterone [acetate] and enzalutamide, with objective responses of 0 to 11% and progression-free survival of 3 to 4 months in patients receiving abiraterone or enzalutamide after progressing on the alternate drug,” first author Benjamin A. Teply, MD, department of oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and coinvestigators wrote.

“Furthermore, our results support the hypothesis that an alternative strategy of therapeutically targeting the androgen receptor with BAT in the setting of progression on second-line androgen receptor–signaling inhibitors might be beneficial to patients,” added Teply et al.

Men in the study had progressed on hormonal therapies, and investigators intended to analyze each cohort separately. Evidence of metastatic disease by CT scan or nuclear medicine bone scan was required, but measurable disease by RECIST was not a prerequisite for enrollment.

Participants were required to have radiographic or PSA progression on enzalutamide, and a continuing PSA concentration rise during the 4 week washout from enzalutamide.

BAT consisted of 400 mg of intramuscular testosterone cypionate on day 1 of a 28-day cycle while continuing LHRH agonist therapy. There was no predefined stopping point, and therapy could continue indefinitely. Investigators did not modify testosterone doses.

Patients discontinuing BAT proceeded to a 28-day washout period to allow testosterone concentrations to return to the castrate range. The PSA concentration after washout was considered baseline for purposes of evaluation of enzalutamide response. Treatment proceeded with 160 mg of daily oral enzalutamide with dose adjustments allowed per the prescribing label.

Clinical investigations were done at baseline and every 3 cycles and included complete blood counts, serum hormone concentrations, and metabolic parameters.

Median age was 74 (range, 50-89), 90% of the cohort was white, and all patients had an ECOG performance status of 0 (73%) or 1 (27%). All patients were refractory to previous enzalutamide therapy, and 47% had previously achieved PSA50 with enzalutamide. Median time on enzalutamide was 8 months (range, 1-39).

Median follow-up was 4.9 months (IQR, 2.8-7.6). Twelve patients (40%) had RECIST-evaluable lesions, half of whom had a partial or complete response (95% CI, 21-79). The remaining 18 patients were not RECIST-evaluable due to non-measurable bone-only metastatic disease or lack of follow-up radiographic imaging.

Twenty-eight patients (93%) had PSA progression events on BAT, leading to a median PSA progression-free survival (PFS) of 3.3 months (95% CI, 2.7-5.5). Seventeen patients (57%) had a clinical or radiographic progression event with BAT. The median clinical or radiographic PFS was 8.6 months (95% CI 4.7–not reached).

Fourteen patients with measured testosterone values had castrate testosterone (<50 ng/dL) following the 28-day washout period, and the remainder had near castrate concentrations (median 30 ng/dL, range <20–133 ng/dL). Two-thirds of patients with PSA measured before and after the washout period had continued increases in PSA concentrations.

Median follow-up after enzalutamide rechallenge was 2.7 months (IQR, 2.4-5.5). None of the 8 evaluable patients demonstrated a radiographic response to enzalutamide.

Eleven patients rechallenged with enzalutamide had PSA progression events, and the median PSA PFS was 5.5 months (95% CI, 4.6–not reached). Thirteen of the 21 patients rechallenged with enzalutamide had clinical or radiographic progression events. Median clinical or radiographic PFS was 4.7 months (95% CI, 2.7–not reached).

Four patients remained on enzalutamide at the time of final analysis, all of whom met the coprimary endpoint of PSA50 response to enzalutamide.

The most common grade 3/4 adverse event (AE) was hypertension (10%). There were no dose-limiting toxicities observed and no patients required dose adjustment. Three grade 3/4 AEs—pulmonary embolism, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, and urinary obstruction—were potentially attributable to testosterone.

We know that sugars in foods and drinks can be converted into acids that damage tooth enamel. But can substances with low pH can have the same damaging effect on your teeth? The answer is, yes! Acidic foods can damage your teeth.

The best method to lower your risk for tooth enamel loss and tooth decay is to avoid acidic foods entirely. Such foods include citrus fruits, soft drinks, sour candy, juices, alcoholic drinks, and many others. This method can feel a little extreme to most people. If you choose to partake of acidic foods, there are things you can do to lower your risk of tooth enamel loss.

For example, a simple change to make is never eating acidic food or drink alone as a snack. If you must enjoy an acidic treat, include it in a larger meal to help neutralize the effects of the acids. Drinking plenty of water is also a good idea! Be careful not to brush your teeth right after partaking of acidic substances, as this can damage your enamel.

A better way to neutralize acids is with your body’s natural defense: saliva. Saliva can wash away harmful bacteria and plaque buildup, as well as the acids present in foods. By chewing sugarless gum after meals, you can help promote the creation of excess saliva in your mouth and lower your risk of cavities. Sugared gum should be avoided, as the sugars present in the gum feed the bacteria that cause tooth decay.

Going away on a trip and getting away from your daily routine can be a great way to escape stress and anxiety. Whether it is getting away for the weekend or taking a week or even several months off, it is probably one of the best medicines.

Here are the top five reasons why traveling is beneficial for your health:

1. It has healing properties
When you travel, you get to visit sites that contain modes of healing. For example, the natural hot springs of Turkey or Costa Rica. Getting immersed in these mineral-rich waters is great for your skin, relieves pain and stress and increases longevity.

2. It boosts creativity
Anyone who suffers from stress, anxiety or a mental health issue knows it may interfere with one’s creativity. It can cause your brain to be foggy, impede the way you see yourself and get in the way of living.

A 2012 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that the more equipped you are at interacting socially and getting comfortable with a new setting, the more creative and successful you’ll be. If you want to fully boost creativity, getting in tune with a new culture is more important than just traveling to a new location.

3. It changes perspective
Travelling has the benefit of expanding and changing the way you think, not only of the world but of yourself. It can be scary, entering into a world that is much different than yours. It can even be uncomfortable.

If you are traveling in a poor country, it can give you the opportunity to see how others live their lives. It makes you appreciate the life you have or change the way you view your own life.

4. It’s good for your mindset
Taking several months to view the world and take in different cultures by placing yourself in a new setting will allow your brain to participate in new experiences. Travelling challenges your daily discomforts in a positive way by escaping settings that cause your brain to be unsettled and by being in a place that could make it relaxed.

Try not to travel to the same spots all the time. If you go to different places it will allow you to immerse yourself in new experiences.

5. It helps you escape from stress

Travelling is the ultimate escape and it’s a great distraction. You don’t have to focus on the daily stresses that consume your life and mind. According to Charlotte Garber, “fresh air and sunshine are good for our health. Fresh air increases oxygen in our blood and in turn, gives us more energy. Sunshine is a mood elevator and can help people ward off depression.”

Getting in tune with the outdoors and nature, like taking long walks on the beach, is a beneficial way to help reduce stress. It’s also a great way to get exercise, by going swimming or even running on the beach. Doing so will boost endorphins that your body needs.

  USS Grayback SS-208
Tambor Class Submarine

Ship History
Built by Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut. Laid down April 3, 1940. Launched January 31, 1941. Commissioned on June 30, 1941. Named "Grayback" for a lake herring fish.

Wartime History
Attached to the Atlantic Fleet Grayback, conducted her shakedown cruise in Long Island Sound out of Newport, New London, and New York City. Next, on September 8, 1941 departed New London, Connecticut with USS Grampus (SS-207) for patrol duty in the Caribbean Sea and Chesapeake Bay; then to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on November 30 for overhaul. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, departed via the Panama Canal for Pearl Harbor arriving on February 8, 1942.

First Patrol
Departed on February 5 along the coast of Saipan and Guam. There she had a four-day encounter with an enemy submarine; the enemy I-boat fired two torpedoes at Grayback on the morning of February 22, then continued to trail her across the Pacific. Grayback spotted the enemy conning tower a couple of times, and the Japanese ship broached once; but the Grayback could not get into position to attack. After four days, Grayback shook the enemy sub and continued on patrol. On March 17 she sank her first ship, a 3291-ton cargo ship off Port Lloyd and returned to base on April 10.

Second Patrol
Patrolling found no targets and even patrolled on the surface during the day. On June 22 she arrived at Fremantle which was to be her home base for most of the war.

Third & Forth Patrols
Patrolled in the South China Sea and St. George's Passage, Grayback was hampered by bright moonlight, shallow and treacherous water, and enemy patrol craft. Despite these hazards, she damaged several freighters and an enemy submarine.

Fifth Patrol
Departed Australia on December 7, 1942. A week later, Pharmacist's Mate Harry B. Roby was called upon to perform an emergency appendectomy, the second to be done on a patrolling submarine. With Grayback running a hundred feet beneath the surface, the untutored Roby successfully removed the infected appendix, and his patient was back standing watch by the end of the patrol. On December 25, Grayback surfaced to sink four landing barges with her deck guns. Four days later she was again fired on by an enemy submarine but maneuvered to avoid the torpedoes. On January 3, 1943 sunk I-18, one of 25 Japanese submarines destroyed by western submarines during the war.

On January 5, Grayback served as beacon ship for the bombardment of Munda and during the early morning she received word that six survivors from B-26B "Queenie" 41-17586 shot down two days earlier were awaiting rescue on Rendova Island. Grayback sent ashore two men, then submerged at dawn to avoid enemy aircraft. The submariners located the downed aviators, three of whom were injured, and hid out with them in the jungle. As night fell, Grayback surfaced offshore and by coded light signals directed the small boat "home safe" to the submarine. For this action skipper Edward C. Stephan earned the Navy Cross and a U. S. Army Silver Star.

Grayback continued on patrol, torpedoing and damaging several Japanese ships. On January 17 she attacked a destroyer escorting a large transport, hoping to disable the escort and then sink the freighter with her deck guns. However, the destroyer evaded the torpedoes and dropped 19 depth charges on the submarine. One blew a gasket on a manhole cover, and the submarine, leaking seriously, returned to Brisbane arriving February 23.

Sixth Patrol
Departed February 16, 1943 to patrol the Bismarck Sea and Solomon Sea without any success. Her SJ radar had failed to function; and although she had taken several shots at cargo ships, none were sunk. Returned on April 4, 1943.

Seventh Patrol
Departing Brisbane on April 25. On May 11, Grayback was radioed the position of a enemy convoy by USS Albacore (SS-218). Surfacing at night, this submarine fired a spread of six torpedoes at the seven freighters and three escorts. The three escorts charged and she had to go deep to elude the attacking enemy. She was credited with the sinking Yodogawa Maru. On May 16 she torpedoed and seriously damaged a destroyer. The following day Grayback intercepted four transports with one escort and sank England Maru and damaged two others before she was forced to dive. Returned to Pearl Harbor on May 30, then to San Francisco for overhaul.

Eighth Patrol
Returning to Pearl Harbor on September 12, 1943 with Captain John Anderson Moore. Departing on September 26 with USS Shad (SS-235), she rendezvoused with USS Cero (SS-225) at Midway to form the first USN submarine wolfpacks. The three submarines under Captain Momsen in USS Cero, searched the China Sea and returned to base with claims of 38,000 tons sunk and 3300 damaged. Grayback accounted for two ships, a passenger-cargo vessel torpedoed 14 October and a former light cruiser, Awata Maru, torpedoed after an end-around run on a fast convoy October 22. Wolf pack tactics came into play 2 October as Grayback closed a convoy already attacked by Shad and sunk a 9000-ton transport listing from two of Shad’s torpedoes. The submarines had expended all torpedoes, and on November 10 returned to Midway.

Grayson CO, John Anderson Moore was awarded after this mission with a Navy Cross (Bureau of Naval Personnel Information Bulletin No. 329 (August 1944))

Ninth Patrol
Departed Pearl Harbor on December 2, 1943 for the East China Sea. Within five days of her first contact with Japanese ships, she had expended all her torpedoes in a series of attacks which netted four ships for a total of over 10,000 tons. On the night of 18 December to 19 December Grayback attacked convoy of four freighters and three escorts. She sent freighter Gyokurei Maru and escort Numakaze to the bottom and damaged several others in surface attack.

Two nights later, 20 December to 21 December, she spotted another convoy of six ships; and, after an end-around run she fired a spread of nine torpedoes into the heart of the Japanese formation. This first attack sunk one freighter and damaged another before Grayback dived to elude depth charges. Three hours later she surfaced and sank a second freighter. After an unsuccessful attack the following night had exhausted her torpedo supply, Grayback headed home. The submarine surfaced 27 December and sank a fishing boat with deck guns before returning to Pearl Harbor on January 4, 1944.

Grayson CO, John Anderson Moore was awarded after this mission by second Navy Cross (see Bureau of Naval Personnel Information Bulletin No. 330 (September 1944))

Tenth Patrol
Departed Pearl Harbor on January 28, 1944 for the East China Sea. On February 19, Grayback sunk two cargo ships Taikei Maru and Toshin Maru plus damaged two others, reporting these by radio on February 24.

On February 25, she transmitted her second and final report. That morning she sunk tanker Nanho Maru and severely damaged Asama Maru. With only two torpedoes remaining, she was ordered back from patrol.

Sinking History
On February 27, 1944 Grayback used her last two torpedoes to sink the freighter Ceylon Maru, was spotted by a Japanese carrier aircraft and bombed observing the target "exploded and sank immediately. Anti-submarine ships dropped depth charges on a trail of air bubbles and observed an oil slick that swelled to the surface of the South China Sea.

Due at Midway on March 7, Grayback did not arrive. On March 30 ComSubPac listed her as missing and presumed lost with all hands. Grayson CO, John Anderson Moore was posthumously awarded after this mission by third Navy Cross during March 1945. Grayback ranked 20th among all submarines in total tonnage sunk with 63,835 tons and 24th in number of ships sunk with 14. The submarine and crew had received two Navy Unit Commendations for their seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth war patrols. Grayback received eight battle stars for World War II service.
