Politician sets gold standard for how to act after accidentally posting your genitals online.
And he didn't send it to a teenaged intern or anything? Just Instagram? BOOOORRIIING.
Swedish member (zing) of parliament Lars Ohly didn't mean to send a picture of his dick to the world; like any good politician, he was just trying to take a pic of his sweet new Liverpool soccer club tattoo. Of course, there's the age-old risk of trying to photograph your freshly-inked leg while lying naked on a towel on the dirt near a tree somewhere: your dick might be hanging out. Naturally, Lars, the former head of the Left Party, was forced to resign as a sexual deviant, all while right-wing media were using this as proof that all liberals are perverts looking to destroy family values. Oh, wait, that's not what happened at all. Everyone thought it was hilarious and he laughed about it on his Twitter account.
"I'm Lars Ohly, and I approve of you having seen my penis. Haha! Ooopsiesnorkens!"
See, that's what happens when you play it cool. Well, let me back up a little: that's what happens when you play it cool, and when it is also an accident, and when you send your dick to the entire planet instead of a young woman your wife doesn't know about. Indeed, instead of trying to physically dismember him with their teeth as the average cable news host or House member might have done, Ohly's opponents merely took to Twitter to make fun of him:

Regular users of HP toner cartridges have been advised that the brand is an industry leader.
According to the company, it has been setting the agenda in the printing sector in recent times by developing a number of pioneering new products.
This, it said, includes printers that offer various interactive digital features, such as web-based applications.
Laszlo Czinege, an official at HP, said these functions have helped to make the print experience for consumers more "comprehensive".
He added that its industry leadership has been demonstrated by its ability to transform the "flow of content for all customers into when-you-want-it, when-you-need-it availability".
This comes after HP revealed that the amount of money it has earned from printer sales has gone up recently.
Figures showed that in the three months to January 31st 2011, revenues in its Imaging and Printing Group were seven per cent up on the amount generated a year earlier.

Massacre at the Wedding Party
Pete and Mariah Leitner celebrated their wedding having invited their family and friends, including Pete's colleagues from the United States Navy, that were members of an anti-HYDRA unit.
Schneider, Pete's best man, gave a speech about how people want to change and become something better, relating it to Pete's decision to join the Navy, especially after an event that happened in Tijuana in 2009. Out of boredom, Cindy, one of the guests, asked the waiter for an strong beverage, but all the waiters, who were secretly HYDRA operatives, only offered champagne.
Schneider congratulated the newlyweds, and asked everyone to raise their glasses for a toast to the Leitners. However, as Schneider drank from his glass, his mouth started to petrify with effects similar to those produced in the Obelisk. Other guests suffered the same effects, causing panic in those who did not drink or suffer the effects.
The disguised HYDRA operatives quickly left the scene, contacting Sunil Bakshi at the HYDRA Laboratories to inform him that eight men died, but the rest, despite being sick, had survived the attack. Bakshi considered the results to be disappointing, and ordered the men to return immediately and give a report personally to Daniel Whitehall, who would surely not be pleased for another failure.[1]

When we talk about the impact of BYOD and BYOA and the Internet of Things, we often focus on the impact on data center architectures. That's because there will be an increasing need for authentication, for access control, for security, for application delivery as the number of potential endpoints (clients, devices, things) increases. That means scale in the data center.
What we gloss over, what we skip, is that before any of these "things" ever makes a request to access an application it had to execute a DNS query. Every. Single. Thing.
Maybe that's because we assume DNS can handle the load. So far it's done well. You rarely, if ever, hear of disruptions or outages due directly to the execution of DNS. Oh, there has been some issues with misconfiguration of DNS and of exploitation of DNS (hijacking, illicit use in reflection attacks, etc...) but in general there's rarely a report that a DNS service was overwhelmed by traffic and fell over.
That is exactly the problem. We've been successful with scaling DNS.
"Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive." - Andrew Grove.
In the face of rapidly expanding endpoints (things), it behooves us all to take a second look at DNS and ensure it's ready to meet the challenge.
This is not just about availability. Remember operational axiom #2 - as load increases, performance decreases. That's true for DNS, too. It doesn't get a pass. That's why it's called an axiom, after all, because it's kind of the law, like gravity.
Browsers do a good job of obfuscating the latency incurred by DNS, and native mobile applications never show such gory details, so it's difficult for a user to separate latency associated with an overloaded DNS service from a generally poorly performing application. Not that they care, actually. A slow app is a slow app to an end user. They aren't interested in the gory details, they're interested in speedy applications. Period.
Interestingly, though, the Internet of Things is made up of more than just users. Lots of devices and applications make up the myriad endpoint "overlay" network created by connections between these devices and "things".
Devices don't care about latency (unless of course they're being driven by users, then the users care, but the devices surely don't). But the thing about DNS is that the latency is generally incurred at initial connection time. There's no way to differentiate before a connection is made whether it's a device or a real, live person on the other end. Even after a connection is made, UDP isn't exactly the most verbose of protocols and it's nearly impossible to differentiate via UDP, too. You've only got a few headers, and none of them offer insight into what kind of endpoint is making the request.
The imperative, then, is to ensure really fast connections and responses to every single query.
That may mean you need to reevaluate your DNS infrastructure to ensure it's ready to handle the coming flood of "things". Test and verify the maximum queries per second (QPS) your systems can manage while maintaining what your business defines as acceptable latency. Make sure to plot out latency based on connections and queries per second to get an idea of at what point your DNS starts to become part of the performance problem.
As the Internet expands and more devices and users are accessing your applications, it would be a mistake to forget about DNS. We all know the old saying about "assuming" things - and that certainly holds true when you simply assume your DNS is able to handle the increasing load.
Be paranoid. Test often. CYA(pps).

According to Forrester Research, every business will become either a digital predator or digital prey by 2020. To avoid demise, organizations must rapidly create new sources of value in their end-to-end customer experiences.

"Once customers get a year into their IoT deployments, they start to realize that they may have been shortsighted in the ways they built out their deployment and the key thing I see a lot of people looking at is - how can I take equipment data, pull it back in an IoT solution and show it in a dashboard," stated Dave McCarthy, Director of Products at Bsquare Corporation, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity.

The years 2002-2011 saw a big decline in the number of children age 12 and younger who died in motor vehicle crashes.
According to a new Vital Signs report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), deaths in that age group plunged 43%. However, more than 9,000 children died in crashes during that period.
Research has shown that using age- and size-appropriate child restraints (car seats, booster seats, and seat belts) is the best way to save lives and reduce injuries in a crash. Yet the report found that almost half of all black (45%) and Hispanic (46%) children who died in crashes were not buckled up, compared with 26% of white children (2009-2010).
"No child should die in a motor vehicle crash because they were not properly buckled up and yet, sadly, it happens hundreds of times each year in the U.S.," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. "Many of these tragedies are preventable when parents use age-and size-appropriate child restraints every time their child rides in a motor vehicle."
Key findings
CDC analyzed 2002–2011 data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, collected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to determine the number and rate of motor-vehicle occupant deaths, and the percentage of child deaths among children age 12 and younger who were not buckled up.
The Vital Signs report also found that:
- One in three children who died in crashes in 2011 was not buckled up.
- Only 2 out of every 100 children live in states that require car seat or booster seat use for children age 8 and under.
- Child passenger restraint laws result in more children being buckled up. A recent study by Eichelberger et al, showed that among 5 states that increased the required car seat or booster seat age to 7 or 8 years, car seat and booster seat use tripled, and deaths and serious injuries decreased by 17%.
"Parents and caregivers play an important role in keeping children safe in the car," said Daniel M. Sosin, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.P., acting director of CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. "Children often imitate their parents; so it's important that parents model safe behavior and buckle up on every trip. Parents also should always buckle children in age- and size-appropriate car seats, booster seats and, seat belts."
What to do
To help keep children safe on the road, parents and caregivers can:
- Use car seats, booster seats, and seat belts in the back seat on every trip, no matter how short.
- Use rear-facing car seats from birth up to age 2
- Buckle children in a rear-facing seat until age 2 or when they reach the upper weight or height limit of that seat.
- Use forward-facing car seats from age 2 up to at least age 5. Make sure than when children outgrow their rear-facing seat, they are buckled in a forward-facing car seat until at least age 5 or when they reach the upper weight or height limit of that seat.
- Use booster seats from age 5 up until seat belt fits properly. Once children outgrow their forward-facing seat, they should be buckled in a booster seat until seat belts fit properly. The recommended height for proper seat belt fit is 57 inches tall.
- Use a seat belt once it fits properly without a booster seat. Children no longer need to use a booster seat once seat belts fit them properly. Seat belts fit properly when the lap belt lays across the upper thighs (not the stomach) and the shoulder belt lays across the chest (not the neck).
- Install and use car seats according to the owner's manual or get help installing them from a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.
- Buckle children age 12 and under in the back seat.

Free agent pickups Mark Ellis (left) and Ryan Doumit (right) each bring positive and negative aspects to their new teams.
Each Sunday, ESPN Stats & Information reviews significant moves from the past week.
Dodgers sign Mark Ellis
Two things to note about the newest Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman, Mark Ellis, using advanced statistical measurements:
1-- Ellis has a good defensive statistical history at second base.
Ellis' presence could be a boost to the Dodgers, whose second basemen ranked tied for third-worst in the majors with -13 Defensive Runs Saved. That metric considers a fielder's ability to turn batted balls into outs and convert double plays.
Defensive Runs Saved
Last 4 Seasons
Ellis finished tied for fifth among second basemen with 10 Defensive Runs Saved in 2011. His 43 Defensive Runs Saved since 2008 rank tied with Dustin Pedroia for third-best among second basemen (largely due to his 24 Defensive Runs Saved in 2008).
2-- Ellis had one of the roughest offensive seasons of anyone in baseball in 2011.
Win Probability Added (charted at Fangraphs.com) measures a hitter's ability to do things that contribute to his team's chance to win (reaching base late in close games has greater value than doing so in a 10-0 game).
Ellis ranked third-worst among anyone who came to bat in 2011 in Win Probability Added. He was viewed as costing his team 3.35 wins with his offensive contributions (2 players rated worse- Alcides Escobar and Alex Rios).
This is likely largely due to his hitting .184 with runners in scoring position in 2011, well below the .337 and .339 he hit the two previous seasons.
Ellis was 6-for-51 in what were termed by Fangraphs as "high leverage" situations. Those are instances in which the Win Probability had the chance of having its greatest swing.
-- Mark Simon
Twins agree to sign Ryan Doumit
The reshaping of the Minnesota Twins continued with their agreeing to terms with catcher Ryan Doumit. His intended use will be as a designated hitter, catcher and first baseman, serving as injury insurance for stars Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau.
It will be interesting to see how the switch-hitting Doumit fares as a left-handed hitter at spacious Target Field.
Ryan Doumit
As a Pirate, Doumit averaged a homer every 26 at-bats batting left-handed and hit a robust .288 with 17 home runs from that side in 441 at-bats over the last two seasons.
That batting average came from a penchant for getting hits with his line drives at a good rate. Over the last two seasons, our pitch-performance data has Doumit as 55-for-65 when hitting a line drive when hitting a line drive from that side of the plate.
Major leaguers typically get hits on about 72 percent of their line drives, meaning that in this span, Doumit has been about eight hits better than the average big leaguer.
Also worth noting: Target Field rated the seventh-toughest park for a left-handed hitter to homer in, according to the Park Factors from Baseball Info Solutions.
While Doumit may have some value as a left-handed power bat, he may not bring much to the Twins defense.
Since the start of 2010, Doumit has thrown out just 16.7 percent of baserunners, second-worst among qualifying catchers. His 13 passed balls rank third-worst over the last two seasons behind Josh Thole (20) and Miguel Montero (14).
According to a study done by Baseball Prospectus' Mike Fast in September, Doumit has cost his teams a total of 66 runs because of his poor pitch-framing skills since 2007, as measured by getting extra strike calls at the edge of the zone. That is the most of any catcher in the last five seasons combined.
Doumit has played fewer than 50 innings at first base since 2007, and none last year. In 251 career innings at the position, he's totaled -4 Defensive Runs Saved.

OLGA HOCHFELDER, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.MIDWEST STOCK EXCHANGE, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE. LEON S. MARTIN ET AL., PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS, V. MIDWEST STOCK EXCHANGE, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE
Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 71 C 454, No. 71 C 1204 THOMAS R. MCMILLEN, Judge.
Swygert, Chief Judge, Castle, Senior Circuit Judge, and Sprecher, Circuit Judge.
SWYGERT, Chief Judge.
This is an appeal by plaintiffs from a grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant, Midwest Stock Exchange. Plaintiffs are various individuals*fn1 who were victimized by a securities fraud perpetrated by Leston B. Nay, President of First Securities Company of Chicago and owner of ninety-two percent of its stock. First Securities was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a broker-dealer in securities and was a member of the Midwest Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Each member organization in the Midwest Stock Exchange had a nominee or "member officer" who would represent the member organization for certain purposes, such as casting its vote in Midwest matters or trading on the Exchange floor. Nay was First Securities' member officer or nominee in the Midwest Stock Exchange, a position which he applied for and was admitted to in 1945.
The facts surrounding Nay's fraudulent scheme are set forth in detail in our opinion in Securities & Exch. Com'n v. First Securities Co. of Chicago, 463 F.2d 981 (7th Cir. 1972), and need only be briefly restated. Plaintiffs were brokerage clients of First Securities, buying and selling securities through First Securities in regular fashion. Each plaintiff received investment advice from Nay, and each knew Nay to be the president of First Securities. Nay induced the plaintiffs to place funds in an "escrow" account which Nay represented would pay interest to plaintiffs at a high rate of return (generally twelve percent per annum, but later reduced to nine percent). Nay's fraudulent scheme came to light in 1968 as a result of a suicide note left by him describing First Securities as bankrupt due to his thefts and indicating that certain "escrow" accounts created by him were "spurious." Plaintiffs were among the investors in these spurious escrow accounts.
Nay's actions were violative of the federal securities laws and First Securities was derelict in fulfilling its duties pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78a, et seq. Securities & Exch. Com'n v. First Securities Co. of Chicago, 463 F.2d 981 (7th Cir. 1972). The thrust of plaintiffs' present action, asserting violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is that Midwest was negligent in scrutinizing Nay's application as a member officer and failed thereafter to adequately investigate his continued fitness as a member, and as a result of its action and inaction Midwest aided and abetted Nay's violation of the 1934 Act.
In resolving whether summary judgment was correctly granted to Midwest we must first inquire whether there was a genuine issue of material fact as to the liability of Midwest. Butterman v. Walston & Co., 387 F.2d 822 (7th Cir. 1967). The district court found there to be none and, as our opinion will demonstrate, we agree. Since no material facts are in dispute we must then make inquiry whether, on the basis of the uncontroverted facts, the district court correctly found as a matter of law that Midwest has incurred no liability under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The specific issues to be decided are: (1) whether Midwest fulfilled its duties as a national securities exchange under section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (2) whether Midwest aided and abetted by action or inaction any violation of Rule 10b-5 by Nay under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (3) whether plaintiffs' claims against Midwest are barred by the statute of limitations. The district court determined these issues favorably to Midwest and granted summary judgment. We affirm.
It is plaintiffs' contention that Midwest inadequately scrutinized Nay's application in 1945 for the position of member officer or nominee of First Securities and as a result Nay was improperly admitted to membership in Midwest. Also, plaintiffs assert that various events and alleged violations of Midwest rules were sufficient to put Midwest on notice that Nay was no longer fit for membership and that Midwest's failure to inquire into these matters was a dereliction of duty. Plaintiffs claim that Midwest's alleged negligence in admitting Nay to membership and allowing him to continue as a member in the Exchange was a violation by Midwest of section 6(a) (1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Midwest is a national securities exchange registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to section 6 of the 1934 Act and accordingly must fulfill the duties imposed under that section. Section 6(a) (1) provides that an exchange shall "enforce so far as is within its powers complaince by its members, with the provisions [of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder]." Section 6(b) obligates the exchange to promulgate rules to "include provision for the expulsion, suspension, or disciplining of a member for conduct or proceeding inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade," the violation of any provision of or rule under the 1934 Act being deemed conduct inconsistent with such principles. It is these provisions that prescribe in rather broad language the duties of self-regulation incumbent on Midwest as a registered exchange. With respect to the section 6 duty of self-regulation there are two inquiries which generally must be made: (1) the scope of the duties owed; and (2) whether the duties owed run to the plaintiffs.
At the outset we need not reach the question of whether the duties owed run to the plaintiffs for, assuming arguendo they do, we find that the duties owed were adequately fulfilled. Although the section 6 duty of self-regulation is framed in broad language, "to enforce so far as is within its powers", it is not a mandate of strict liability rendering the exchange a guarantor of all fraudulent schemes consummated by its members whether in listed or unlisted securities. To so read section 6 would tear at the very fabric of self-regulation, a burden which indeed no self-regulatory body could bear. The scope of the duty of self-regulation is not far reaching. Rather, the scope must be delineated to include only those acts, events, schemes, or circumstances surrounding exchange members of which the exchange knows or has reasonable cause to know, or those events and circumstances which would reasonably put the exchange on notice, of a violation or suspected violation of a securities law, regulation or rule or, exchange rule.*fn2 It is only in the face of these circumstances that a failure to proceed with the requisite due care and conduct would be a dereliction of the duty of self-regulation. Measuring the duty of self-regulation to the present action, we find that Midwest, on the basis of the uncontroverted evidence in this case, did not fail to exercise the requisite care and conduct in admitting Nay to membership and allowing him to maintain his membership.
Plaintiffs assert that Midwest failed to exercise due care in reviewing Nay's application for membership in that: (1) Midwest did not discover Nay's change of his first name from Ladislas to Leston at the age of eighteen upon migration to the United States from Hungary; (2) Midwest did not investigate the circumstances surrounding the voluntary liquidation in 1942 of Webber, Darch & Company for whom Nay had been an officer and director; (3) Midwest made no inquiry of Halsey, Stuart & Company where Nay had been employed for the period 1921 through 1933; and (4) Midwest made no investigation into the circumstances surrounding Nay's prior two divorces. It is plaintiffs' contention that Midwest failed to exercise the requisite care in scrutinizing Nay's continued fitness to remain a member in view of alleged warnings of Nay's dubious integrity and desperate financial condition, namely: (1) Nay's insistence in 1949 on employing Joseph F. Hammel as a security salesman despite the fact that Midwest's investigation of Hammel produced evidence that Hammel had falsified his employment application; (2) Nay's request in 1959 of permission from Midwest to pledge his stock in First Securities for a personal loan; although Midwest denied Nay's request, it did not inquire into the reasons for Nay's request to pledge all his stock; (3) Midwest's awareness of the fact that First Securities had experienced a net capital deficiency in late 1967 in violation of Midwest's rules; (4) Nay's borrowings from First Securities beginning in 1957; although Midwest approved of each borrowing, it did not investigate Nay's financial situation; and (5) Midwest's failure to request and examine copies of Nay's federal income tax returns which it is claimed would have demonstrated Nay's position of insolvency.
With respect to plaintiffs' charge of failure to appriately screen Nay's application for membership, we find that the investigatory procedures employed by Midwest in 1944 were sufficient to satisfy the section 6 duty of self-regulation. Those procedures included among others letters of recommendation from banks and member organizations of Midwest; two sponsors of the applicant from member organizations appeared before the Admissions Committee of the Midwest Exchange to answer questions with respect to Nay's application; Nay appeared before the Admissions Committee and answered questions pertaining to his application; and a notice of Nay's proposed admission to the Exchange was sent to all members of Midwest requesting them to inform the Admissions Committee of any reason known to them which would indicate that Nay was unfit for membership in the Exchange.
We fail to find merit in plaintiffs' contention that Midwest should have investigated the circumstances surrounding Nay's change of first name and his divorces. These matters had no relevancy. Although Midwest did not inquire of Nay's one time employer, Halsey, Stuart & Company, and did not investigate further into the circumstances surrounding the voluntary liquidation of Webber, Darch & Company with whom Nay had been associated, in view of the admission procedures employed in 1945 it cannot be said that Midwest's failure to look into or pursue further these matters demonstrated a failure to exercise due care in scrutinizing Nay's application for membership.
Addressing ourselves to the issue of whether Midwest exercised due care in investigating Nay's continued fitness for membership, plaintiffs contend that various events and circumstances taking place between 1949 through April, 1968 should have put Midwest on notice that Nay no longer possessed the requisite character and moral integrity required of an Exchange member. It is also contended that if Midwest had pursued these so-called warnings further, it would have discovered Nay's involvement in the fraudulent escrow scheme.
The first alleged warning of Nay's dubious integrity occurred in 1949 when Nay asked Midwest to reconsider his request for permission to employ Joseph F. Hammel as a security salesman even though Midwest's investigation of Hammel had uncovered evidence that Hammel had falsified his employment application. Although Nay offered to employ Hammel in a restrictive capacity, namely dealing exclusively in transactions in municipal bonds with instutional clients, Midwest adhered to its denial of permission.
Plaintiffs argue that Nay's request of Midwest to reconsider Hammel's employment in a restrictive capacity should have put Midwest on notice of Nay's questionable integrity and suspect fitness for membership. We do not agree with this argument. Plaintiffs do not assert that Nay knew of Hammel's false statements prior to Midwest's investigation of Hammel nor do they contend that Nay's actions amounted to a violation of Exchange rules. In viewing this matter in hindsight, plaintiffs have placed undue importance on it.
Plaintiffs claim that in 1959, ten years after the employment incident, Midwest received its second warning of Nay's unfitness for membership, but failed to take appropriate action. Nay as ninety-two percent stock owner in First Securities requested permission from Midwest to pledge his stock holdings in First Securities for a personal loan he wished to obtain from a Chicago bank. Nay made his request pursuant to the Exchange rules. Although Midwest denied Nay permission to pledge his stock, plaintiffs maintain that the request should have put Midwest on notice that Nay was in serious financial straits and that, in any event, the request was of sufficient magnitude to put a burden of inquiry on Midwest to investigate Nay's personal reasons for such a loan. We are not convinced that Nay's request should have put Midwest on notice that Nay was in a financially desperate position. The request without additional facts was of a benign nature. Nor can we say that this request in conjunction with the employment incident ten years before was sufficient to put Midwest on notice of any wrongdoings or in any way reflected unfavorably on Nay's fitness for membership. Plaintiffs assert that it was incumbent on Midwest to inquire into the reasons for the loan. Although we are cognizant of the magnitude of Nay's request, we are not prepared to place a burden of inquiry on an exchange which would effectively require scrutiny and investigation into all the personal affairs and activities of member nominees or the personal, business, and financial affairs of those individuals closely associated with member organizations. In this same vein plaintiffs contend that as part of the duty of self-regulation it was incumbent on Midwest to obtain and examine copies of Nay's federal income tax returns, which it is asserted would have uncovered Nay's fraudulent escrow scheme. As is true of the contention that Midwest should have investigated the reasons for Nay's personal loan, to require Midwest to inspect Nay's personal tax returns would impose a burden on Midwest to investigate into events not related to matters reflected in a member organization's books and records. Although Midwest used a protective system to assure responsibility and integrity in the handling of public customer business which focused primarily on the books and records reflecting the activities of member organizations,*fn3 plaintiffs argue that the system was insufficient because it failed to go beyond the member organization and investigate personal books and records, if any, reflecting the personal activities and affairs of member nominees. This asserted burden of inquiry would be applicable not solely to those individuals similarly situated to Nay; rather, the burden of inquiry would likewise be applicable to everyone associated with any member organization who might possibly be engaged in a personal, remote, and carefully concealed fraudulent scheme. To place such a burden on Midwest to inquire into affairs unrelated to the activities of the Exchange would be tantamount to making the Exchange a guarantor of losses resulting from every fraudulent, personal scheme engaged in by individuals associated with member organizations. Indeed, the implementation of such a burden of inquiry might well be counter-productive in that it would dissipate resources which are limited and needed for the basic self-regulatory actions in scrutinizing matters pertaining to member organization activities and affairs.
Plaintiffs next contend that a series of loans made by First Securities to Nay from 1957 to 1968 should have put Midwest on notice of Nay's precarious financial condition and asserted unfitness for Midwest membership. Nay borrowed money from First Securities during this eleven year span and pursuant to Exchange rules notified Midwest of the borrowings. The frequency of the borrowings and the total amount of the borrowings were not of such an unusual nature so as to put Midwest on notice of any wrongdoing by Nay.*fn4 Nor can it be said that the combined events -- the employment incident, the request to pledge stock, and the continuous borrowings -- were sufficient to put Midwest on notice that Nay was no longer fit to continue as a member of the Midwest Stock Exchange.
The final event which plaintiffs assert reflected unfavorably on Nay's integrity concerned the circumstances surrounding First Securities' temporary net capital deficiency in October, 1967.*fn5 In the course of its routine analysis of First Securities' September 30, 1967 financial questionnaire, Midwest determined that First Securities was not in compliance with the net capital rules of the Exchange. Immediate action was taken and First Securities was advised on October 27 of the deficiency and requested to take appropriate steps to rectify the situation. First Securities was also warned that a failure to cure the situation within a reasonable time could lead to its suspension from the Exchange. On November 3 Nay informed the Exchange that First Securities had a net capital deficiency of $9,332 as of October 31, 1967. Nay also indicated that First Securities' independent certified public accountant, Ernst & Ernst, was engaging in a surprise audit pursuant to Exchange rules of the financial period ending October 31, 1967 and that the net capital deficiency would be appropriately explained. Ten days later Nay notified Midwest that he had reduced his indebtedness to First Securities thereby restoring First Securities to full compliance with the Exchange's net capital requirements as of October 31, 1967. On December 6, 1967 in response to an inquiry by Ernst & Ernst, Midwest indicated that the October 31, 1967 financial questionnaire prepared by Ernst & Ernst on the basis of its surprise audit need not reflect the temporary net capital deficiency since it had been corrected in early November by Nay's reduction of his indebtedness to First Securities. On that same day Midwest advised Nay that First Securities' November 30, 1967 financial questionnaire indicated a net capital excess of $22,000 and that therefore Nay would be granted permission to borrow $10,000 from First Securities.
Plaintiffs contend that Midwest encouraged Ernst & Ernst to make a material omission on the October 31, 1967 questionnaire which was to be submitted to Midwest and that Midwest sanctioned a mere token repayment of $10,000 since Nay was allowed to borrow $10,000 from First Securities in early December. Plaintiffs charge that these events were sufficient to place a duty on Midwest to investigate Nay and, presumably, his personal financial affairs and continued fitness for Midwest membership. Because of the nature of the financial questionnaire and the fact it was prepared for Midwest's usage, we need not indulge in a technical analysis of whether it accurately depicted First Securities' financial position as of October 31, 1967, nor are we convinced that Nay's subsequent borrowing rendered the earlier repayment meaningless. Indeed, the evidence indicates that Midwest was alert in discovering the deficiency and took immediate steps to have it corrected. Viewing this event with all the other asserted warnings, we are not convinced that in toto they were sufficient to put Midwest on notice that further inquiry was warranted.
Having examined the asserted warnings and Midwest's response thereto, we find that as a matter of law the warnings do not demonstrate a lack of due care in scrutinizing Nay's continued fitness for membership in Midwest. Accordingly, we hold that Midwest satisfied its duty of self-regulation.
Moreover, even assuming that Midwest breached its duty of self-regulation in that the net capital deficiency discovered in October, 1967 was, either by itself or in combination with the prior events, sufficient to put Midwest on notice that Nay was engaging in fraudulent conduct and no longer qualified for membership in the Exchange, plaintiffs are confronted with yet another obstacle which they cannot overcome, namely, a lack of causal connection.
In Baird v. Franklin, 141 F.2d 238 (2d Cir. 1944), cert. denied, 323 U.S. 737, 65 S. Ct. 38, 89 L. Ed. 591 (1944), the Second Circuit, in fashioning a duty of self-regulation under section 6, held that an essential element of liability grounded on a section 6 violation was proof of a causal connection between an exchange's breach of duty and the plaintiffs' asserted losses; further, that the plaintiffs had the burden of proving causation. Recognizing that the defendant stock exchange had breached its duty of self-regulation the court went on to find that the plaintiffs had failed to prove causation:
We accede to the view that the Stock Exchange violated a duty when it failed to take disciplinary action against Richard Whitney on November 24, 1937, after there was reason to believe that the latter had converted the plaintiffs' securities. But to justify a judgment in favor of either plaintiff, such a breach of duty must have resulted in damage that can be traced to the breach . . . . In the case of the Exchange there was no duty except to investigate the dealings and the financial conditions of the members and to suspend or expel members who it had reason to believe had been guilty of conduct inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade. It appears from the record that by reason of unauthorized pledges the securities had all been converted prior to November 24, 1937, and were then in the possession of pledgee banks and so remained for some time thereafter, though at certain times all of them were returned to the pledgor and during the same day repledged to secure other loans. We can see no likelihood that the expulsion or suspension of Richard Whitney when his conversions came to the notice of the officers of the Exchange on November 24, 1937, would have in the least benefited the plaintiffs for the securities were then all converted and in the hands of pledgees. 141 F.2d at 239.
Assuming Midwest's failure to act in late 1967 amounted to a breach of duty, it would nevertheless appear to be of no consequence to plaintiffs' losses. Plaintiffs had departed with their money many years prior to 1967. Some of the escrow transactions were entered into as early as 1942 with the bulk of the transactions being completed in the 1950's and the last escrow transaction consummated in 1966. Plaintiffs admit that by 1967 Nay was hopelessly insolvent and apparently he possessed no substantial assets. Even if Midwest had satisfied its duty of self-regulation, assuming a derelection, it would have been of no avail to plaintiffs. At that time their losses could not have been avoided in whole or part. Accordingly, there is no proof available, to show a causal connection between plaintiffs' losses and the asserted breach of duty in late 1967.
Plaintiffs contend that pursuant to section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Midwest had a duty to enforce Rule 27(c) of Article III of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. In Securities & Exch. Com'n v. First Securities Co. of Chicago, 463 F.2d 981 (7th Cir. 1972), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 880, 93 S. Ct. 85, 34 L. Ed. 2d 134 (1972), we held First Securities, a member of the N.A.S.D., liable for Nay's fraud, due to its failure to enforce Rule 27.*fn6 As a member of the N.A.S.D. it was incumbent on First Securities to enforce the N.A.S.D. rules. In this action plaintiffs request that we place a duty on Midwest as a national securities exchange to enforce the rules of another self-regulatory organization, namely, the N.A.S.D., a national securities association. Without facing the question whether even the N.A.S.D. as promulgator of Rule 27 could be liable because of its member's noncompliance, plaintiffs would have us place an additional burden on Midwest to enforce the rules of another self-regulatory body. There is nothing in the 1934 Act which mandates this unique theory. Indeed, the imposition of such a burden of enforcement would be unduly onerous and result in a wasteful duplication of actions in that Midwest would be expected to enforce the rules of all self-regulatory organizations to which a member firm might belong. This would be contrary to the avowed intention of Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission that there be more coordination and less duplication of self-regulatory activities.*fn7 We hold that Midwest was under no duty to enforce Rule 27(c) of the Rules of Fair Practice of the N.A.S.D.
Plaintiffs claim that in view of the alleged warnings of Nay's desperate financial condition and dubious integrity, Midwest's action or inaction amounted to aiding and abetting Nay's violation of Rule 10b-5. The charge of aiding and abetting is grounded on two contentions: Midwest aided and abetted solely by inaction; Midwest's affirmative action of issuing Nay a Midwest membership wall plaque was of itself or in combination with Midwest's omission to act sufficient to make out a claim of aiding and abetting a Rule 10b-5 violation.
Confronting the charge of aiding and abetting solely by inaction we note that it is well established that one may aid and abet by inaction in combination with affirmative action. See Brennan v. Midwestern United Life Insurance Co., 417 F.2d 147 (7th Cir. 1969), cert. denied, 397 U.S. 989, 25 L. Ed. 2d 397, 90 S. Ct. 1122 (1970); Buttrey v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 410 F.2d 135 (7th Cir. 1969), cert. denied, 396 U.S. 838, 24 L. Ed. 2d 88, 90 S. Ct. 98 (1969). However, in those cases where we have stated that one may aid and abet solely by inaction, we reached a finding of liability on the basis of affirmative action in combination with inaction. See, e.g., Brennan v. Midwestern Life Ins. Co., 259 F. Supp. 673 (N.D. Ind. 1966); Anderson v. Francis I. DuPont & Co., 291 F. Supp. 705 (D. Minn. 1968). Indeed, in the only case where it may fairly be stated that the court was faced with a claim of aiding and abetting solely by inaction, the Ninth Circuit declined to accept such a theory of Rule 10b-5 liability stating:
There is not a scrap of authority supporting this extraordinary theory of Rule 10b-5 liability, and we will not supply any in this case.
We find nothing in Rule 10b-5 that purports to impose liability on anyone whose conduct consists solely of inaction . . . . We perceive no reason, consonant with the congressional purpose in enacting the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, thus to expand Rule 10b-5 liability (Cf. SEC v. Texas Gulf Sulphur Co., supra, 401 F.2d at 866-868 (J. Friendly, concurring specially).) On the contrary, the exposure of independent accountants and others to such vistas of liability, limited only by the ingenuity of investors and their counsel, would lead to serious mischief. Wessel v. Buhler, 437 F.2d 279, 283 (9th Cir. 1971).
Keeping in mind the frequent admonition of the Supreme Court that courts must be alert to provide such remedies for securities frauds as to make effective the Securities Acts, SEC v. Capital Gains Bureau, 375 U.S. 180, 195, 11 L. Ed. 2d 237, 84 S. Ct. 275 (1963); Tcherepnin v. Knight, 389 U.S. 332, 336, 19 L. Ed. 2d 564, 88 S. Ct. 548 (1967); Mills v. Electric Auto-Lite Co., 396 U.S. 375, 386, 24 L. Ed. 2d 593, 90 S. Ct. 616 (1970), we are not prepared to hold that a claim for aiding and abetting solely by inaction cannot be made under Rule 10b-5. In invoking such a rule, however, we would not go so far as to charge a party with aiding and abetting who somehow unwittingly facilitated the wrongful acts of another. Rather, to invoke such a rule investors must show that the party charged with aiding and abetting had knowledge of or, but for a breach of duty of inquiry, should have had knowledge of the fraud, and that possessing such knowledge the party failed to act due to an improper motive or breach of a duty of disclosure. Plaintiffs do not and could not contend that Midwest had actual knowledge of Nay's fraudulent escrow scheme. And, as our analysis of Midwest's section 6 duty of self-regulation demonstrates, Midwest adequately satisfied its duty of inquiry and had no reason to know of or suspect Nay's fraudulent escrow scheme. Failing proof that Midwest knew or should have known of Nay's fraud we need not further our inquiry into the other elements of a claim for aiding and abetting solely by inaction.
We turn then to plaintiffs' contention that Midwest aided and abetted by affirmative action in that it negligently issued and allowed Nay to maintain a Midwest membership plaque which plaintiffs assert they relied on in making their investments in the spurious escrow account. Plaintiffs expend considerable efforts in arguing that the plaque was a representation or certification of Nay's integrity in all financial matters and that plaintiffs reasonably relied on this representation in participating in the escrow scheme.*fn8 We do not reach the question of the scope of Midwest's representation through the medium of the plaque or the reasonableness of plaintiffs' reliance thereon. Rather, we find that having fulfilled its section 6 duty of self-regulation, it cannot be said that Midwest was negligent in issuing and allowing Nay to maintain the plaque. Absent proof of negligence, we will not stand in willingness to impose a standard of strict liability on Midwest due to its issuance of the plaque. Accordingly, we hold plaintiffs' charge of aiding and abetting through the affirmative action of issuing a plaque to be without merit.
The district court held that the appropriate statute of limitations had run prior to the filing of this action in February, 1971. Plaintiffs contended that the equitable tolling doctrine prevented the statute from beginning to run until Nay's fraud was discovered in 1968 at the time of his suicide. If plaintiffs' invocation of the equitable tolling doctrine had been allowed it is clear that their respective actions would have been timely filed. In rejecting plaintiffs' contention, the district court held, "To toll the statute, the defendant must have actively concealed the cause of action, and Midwest clearly was not shown to have done this." Hochfelder v. Midwest Stock Exchange, 350 F. Supp. 1122, 1125 (N.D. Ill. 1972). The equitable tolling doctrine provides that where a fraud which is the foundation of the suit has actively been concealed or is of such a nature as to conceal itself, the statute of limitations is tolled until the plaintiff has obtained knowledge of the fraud or in the exercise of due care should have obtained knowledge of the fraud. Bailey v. Glover, 88 U.S. (21 Wall.) 342, 349, 22 L. Ed. 636 (1874); Holmberg v. Armbrecht, 327 U.S. 392, 396, 90 L. Ed. 743, 66 S. Ct. 582 (1945); Morgan v. Koch, 419 F.2d 993, 997 (7th Cir. 1969). The gravamen of plaintiffs' action against Midwest is admittedly grounded in negligence, and is not grounded on any contention that Midwest is chargeable with affirmative acts of fraud or fraudulent concealment. However, we do not believe that the tolling doctrine should be so narrowly drawn that it does not encompass Midwest's alleged acts of facilitation of the fraud.
It is charged that Midwest's conduct amounted to negligence and that its negligence facilitated or provided the means for Nay's fraud. Nay effectively concealed his fraud and as a result the alleged implementing negligence of Midwest was concealed and brought to the surface only when the facts surrounding Nay's fraud were first discovered. If claims brought in the same posture as the instant action -- asserting charges amounting to negligence but short of fraud -- are to have any vitality, it cannot be contended that the tolling doctrine should not apply. Often the underlying fraud, carefully concealed in and of itself, would cloak the implementing actions of others. Accordingly, where the acts of a defendant facilitate the perpetration of a concealed fraud of another, the bar of the statute of limitations should not begin to run until a plaintiff obtains knowledge or through due diligence should have obtained knowledge of the underlying fraud. In view of our holding on the merits of plaintiffs' claims, however, we need not otherwise further our inquiry with respect to the litigants' contentions regarding the statute of limitations.
On the basis of the foregoing the judgments of the district court are affirmed.
