Karen Peetz–Honesty and Integrity is an Issue For Her

Ms. Karen B. Peetz has been the President of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation since January 01, 2013 and serves as its President of BNY Mellon NA. Ms. Peetz served as the Chief Executive Officer of BNY Mellon’s Issuer, Treasury & Broker Dealer Services since July 2008.

She was Chairman of the Pennsylvania State University’s Board of Trustees when the Consent Decree with the NCAA was signed. Ms. Peetz has a Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University.

Bank of New York Mellon will pay $714 million to settle state and federal charges that it engaged in a scheme to defraud clients by systematically adding hidden spreads to foreign currency trades executed on their behalf, government prosecutors announced Thursday.
BNY Mellon, based in New York, “admitted the factual details of its fraud” and will fire certain executives involved in the fraud, including the head of products management, David Nichols, who was named as a defendant in the federal lawsuit, according to New York’s attorney general and the U.S Attorney’s office in Manhattan. The trust and custody giant also will “reform its practices to improve and increase the information it provides to its customers,” the joint release said.
BNY Mellon had foreshadowed the settlement last month in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing in which it said it was revising fourth-quarter earnings downward by $598 million to account for the anticipated deal.
State and federal fraud charges in the matter were filed in 2011. A former currency trader for BNY Mellon in Pittsburgh, Grant Wilson, was previously identified as a whistleblower in the case.

More Than 300 Former Penn State Players, Coaches Support Challenge to NCAA

More than 325 former Penn State football players have joined in support of a recent lawsuit filed against the NCAA.

The Paterno family, members of Penn State’s board of trustees and faculty and former players and coaches filed their suit last month alleging unlawful conduct by the NCAA in sanctioning the athletic department.

The suit seeks to overturn last July’s sanctions, calling the NCAA’s actions an “improper interference in and gross mishandling of a criminal matter that falls far outside the scope of their authority.”

Joe Paterno and the entire Penn State football program have been used as scapegoats in this horrible tragedy,” Masella said in a statement. “When the NCAA neglected to conduct their own investigation, and used the flawed Freeh Report as the judge and jury, they further prevented an opportunity to get to the real truth, and in turn, punished a generation ofPenn State players, students, and supporters who had nothing whatsoever to do with Jerry Sandusky.”

The following players and coaches support the May 30 lawsuit challenging the NCAA sanctions against Penn State.

Editorial Comment–“We are Penn State, and we want the truth.  We are standing behind our traditions, values, and motto of Success with Honor–Joe Paterno’s “Grand Experiement”  that now graduates more Division 1 Football players than any other University!”–Myke Triebold

Hackenberg In Race for Quarterback

CDT staff reports

UNIVERSITY PARK — Before he’s officially taken a snap, freshman Christian Hackenberg is in the race to be the starting quarterback for the Penn State football team.

Hackenberg, the prized recruit from Fork Union, was listed along with junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson at the top of the team’s depth chart, which was released Thursday afternoon. The two were separated by the word “or.”

Nittany Lion coach Bill O’Brien said throughout the spring that Hackenberg would be in the mix to start heading into preseason camp in the fall. That became more apparent when Steven Bench, the team’s only experienced returning quarterback, asked for and was granted a transfer after spring practice which concluded with the Blue-White Game. Bench is now at South Florida.

Ferguson, a transfer from the College of Sequoias in California, arrived on campus in January.

Hackenberg is rated by Rivals.com as the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2013.

Whoever wins the battle will have an impressive stable of running backs give the ball to. Zach Zwinak, who came off the bench, to become a 1,000-yard rusher, is listed on top of the running back chart. Bill Belton, the starter at the beginning of last season, and Akeel Lynch, who impressed in the spring game, followed.

The offensive line starters are pretty much as expected. Ty Howle is at center. John Urschel and Miles Dieffenbach are the guards, while Adam Gress and Donovan Smith are at tackle.

Jesse James has the edge at Y tight end, while Kyle Cater is on top at Y/F tight end. Record-setting Allen Robinson is at one wide receiver spot, while Brandon Moseby Felder is at the other. Pat Zerbe is listed as the starting fullback.

The most notable changes come in the defensive backfield.

Stephen Obeng-Agyapong, a starter at safety last season, is listed as No. 2 on the depth chart. He is behind Adrian Amos, a starter a cornerback last season, who has been moved to safety.

Malcolm Willis, also a starter last season at safety, hasn’t been guaranteed a starting slot, either. He has an “or” listed with his name at the top of the chart along with Ryan Keiser.

The Nittany Lions have two new starters listed at the corners. Sophomores Jordan Lucas, who had an outstanding spring, and Trevor Williams are on the top of the chart.

As expected, Deion Barnes and C.J. Olaniyan are listed as starters at defensive end, along with Daquan Jones at tackle. Kyle Baublitz has the edge at the other tackle slot.

Middle linebacker Glenn Carson, who had 85 tackles last season, is the lone returning starter at linebacker. Mike Hull, who moved into the lineup after Michael Mauti was injured, is at one outside spot, while Nyeem Wartman is at the other.

The major special teams starters remain the same. Sam Ficken will do the placekicking, while Alex Butterworth is at punter.

Carson will snap on kicks, while Keiser will hold.

Belton and former State College standout Alex Kenney are listed as the top two kickoff returners. Jesse Della Valle and freshman Richy Anderson are the top two punt returners.

Bob Costas to Host Show Reexamining Freeh Report

Bob Costas is taking another look at the Freeh Report.

Nittany Nation blogger Frank Bodani is reporting that, to give the report and its assertions a better evaluation, Costas is going to host a TV program on NBC, “a further examination of this issue in a month or two.”

Said Costas, “I said, ‘As the Freeh Report makes clear, Paterno was, in some sense, complicit’” to Sandusky’s abuse of young boys.

“I didn’t say he was part of a cover-up. I wish I would have said, ‘As the Freeh Report asserts,’ rather than, ‘As the Freeh Report makes clear.’”

Costas first reversed direction on the Freeh report a few weeks ago in an interview with radio host Kevin Slaten of KQQZ in St. Louis, but now is the first evidence we’re seeing of a potential TV program to address the issue. When he first commented on the report last July, Costas had only read summaries of the document, and not the entire 267-page report itself. Previously, he had advocated for the so-called “death penalty” for Penn State football for at least a year. He now thinks that the NCAA sanctions in place are undeservedly steep.

In a way similar to the Paterno report’s questioning of Freeh’s investigation, Costas will take aim at Freeh’s conclusions that, according to him, still raise questions of their validity. Costas acknowledged that the report by Thornburgh, Clemente, and Berlin raised legitimate questions about holes in the Freeh Report.

Though Costas says that, nationally, the public may not care enough to reverse its opinion on the issue, having moved on and forgotten, he adds, “I feel I have some responsibility to follow the story.” No other details about the program have yet been released such as an air date, besides that it will air on NBC “in a month or two.”

Penn State Blue and White Game 2013

When: Saturday, April 20, 12:00 PM TV: Big Ten Network Where: Beaver Stadium

With the onset of spring in Happy Valley, it only means one thing for the Penn State football team.

Spring practice is on the horizon, and more specifically, the Blue and White game.

This Penn State tradition is set to kick off on Friday, April 19 with a carnival, fireworks and an autograph session.

The actual spring game is scheduled to begin at noon in Beaver Stadium on Saturday, April 20.

Penn State’s spring game will be the first time fans get to see the new quarterback battle between Tyler Ferguson and Steven Bench.

Fans will also see which young players will be getting opportunities to play more.

Players that redshirted—like Eugene Lewis, Penn State’s top recruit in 2012—will get to showcase their skills.

Also, fans will get to see new freshmen who enrolled early, such as Adam Breneman, suiting up for the first time at Beaver Stadium.

Along with the quarterback battle, the competition to fill the spots left by seniors Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti will be something to look at during this game.

Although Mike Hull will most likely take one outside linebacker spot, the second spot is currently up in the air.

The Blue and White game is the culmination of the spring drills for the Nittany Lions.

Penn State will begin spring practice March 18 and end with the inter-squad scrimmage.

The Big Ten Network will be covering the game

Thank You 2012 Penn State Football Team

Honoring the 2012 Football Team Senior Class

Penn State’s Beaver Stadium honors only teams that have gone undefeated, won national championships or won conference championships.

Until tomorrow.

On Saturday afternoon, Penn State will make an exception. Before the Nittany Lions‘ season-ending date with Wisconsin, the university will honor the 2012 team by putting its name – “2012,” to be precise – alongside 1982, 1986, 1994 and other memorable seasons in the program’s illustrious football history.

As Onward State writes:

“As the sun sets tomorrow afternoon, the 2012 Penn State Football season will conclude, but for years to come, coaches, fans, players, and everyone associated with Penn State Football will be able to look towards the southeast corner of Beaver Stadium and remember this group of resilient players who showed their love and loyalty when times were tough.”

What a wonderful gesture to the players who stayed, the seniors who led and the coaches who lifted PSU to an absolutely unforgettable 2012 season.
