Question: The decline of the Swiss private bank

This content was published on December 11, 2017 10:00 AM Dec 11, 2017 - 10:00
The vault of a bank with client safety deposit boxes in Switzerland
(Keystone)
Laurent Gagnebin does not fit the traditional image of a Swiss private banker. Fifteen years ago, he worked as a manager at a luxury hotel in Gstaad. Now he is putting his hospitality skills to work as head of Rothschild’s Swiss private bank.
“We had a Swiss client who needed a lawyer in Tehran urgently. Within an hour, we had enlisted the help of a colleague in Dubai who was able to recommend one he knew well,” Gagnebin recalls at Rothschild’s sleek offices in a smart Zurich suburb. “Being a Swiss banker, a lot of it is still about soft factors.”
Gagnebin’s career shift underlines the pressures that the Swiss banking sector is facing. Even a decade ago, clients from all over the world flocked to Switzerland to find a discreet home for cash that they wanted to hide from the taxman.
These customers did not worry about the returns on their portfolios and profits were easy. “Clients told you ‘don’t call me, or anything’,” recalls one banker.
Thanks to the US-led global clampdown on tax evasion, however, the days are long gone when Swiss bankers could prosper by simply assisting rich clients hide assets.
Instead, they face a world where tougher bank regulations, ultra-low interest rates and low financial market volatility have shrunk profit margins. The fastest-growing client groups are far from the affluent Alpine country — in China and other emerging market economies — and automation threatens to reduce the need for human interaction.
The result is that the industry is increasingly dividing into two tiers. A small group of the biggest banks have used the Swiss reputation for service — such as finding lawyers in obscure locations — to successfully expand around the world. However, there is also a long tail of weaker domestic rivals who are facing a much more uncertain outlook.
For many of those institutions, the tough new environment raises the question of whether the traditional strengths of Swiss banking will continue to give it a competitive edge — or whether we will witness the slow death of the distinctively Swiss private bank.
“They have a future, but the golden times are certainly behind them,” says Gábor Komáromi, senior manager at Corecam, a Zurich-based company which advises rich families on their finances.
Patrick Odier, managing partner at Lombard Odier, adds: “The pressure on margins will squeeze out very quickly the less efficient and less competitive.”
Dominant position
Switzerland dominates the business of safeguarding and investing the wealth of the world’s richest, even if the CHF6.7 trillion ($6.7 trillion) in assets under management in the Swiss industry remains lower than its 2007 peak. Over the past three years, the level of assets under management has been flat despite strong gains in many global markets. The country is also home to two of Europe’s biggest banks — UBS and Credit Suisse.
Swiss bank accounts are still attractive for many of the world’s rich — a large number of those caught up in the corruption clampdown in Saudi Arabia are thought to have money in the Alpine country.
But at home, the industry is in retreat. The number of Swiss private banks has fallen from 179 in 2005 to 112, according to KPMG figures. “Of the 60 or 70 poorly performing [remaining] banks, at least a half will disappear,” predicts Christian Hintermann, head of KPMG’s financial advisory unit in Zurich. Gross margins in the industry have fallen 12% since 2010.
Banks in Switzerland last year employed 121,000 people — about 15,000 fewer than a decade ago. Well-known foreign banks, including Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Coutts, have disposed of Swiss operations in the past five years.
“The unique selling point of Switzerland is being eroded,” says a senior private banking executive at a non Swiss firm. “Clients are just as happy in the UK, or the Netherlands.”
Tax evasion clampdown
The most direct cause of the industry’s decline has been a clampdown on tax evasion. The US moved first in 2008 by launching an investigation into banks who had helped its citizens to evade the Internal Revenue Service.
Since 2009, Swiss banks have paid fines and compensation of more than $5 billion for their roles in helping US clients dodge taxes. They were also hit by a flurry of smaller fines in other jurisdictions as the drive for transparency has spread worldwide.
Fifty countries across the globe have already embraced new rules on transparency that call for the automatic exchange of information between banks and tax authorities.
For UBS and Credit Suisse that translates into about CHF75 billion of client withdrawals between 2011 and 2015. The impact on the bottom line was bruising: “Such mandates typically carried lucrative margins,” says Kinner Lakhani, analyst at Deutsche Bank. “We estimate a pre-tax earnings impact of at least, CHF400-CHF500 million for each of the franchises.”
Still promising
Even after this blow, private banking remains more promising than other areas of the big two Swiss players’ businesses.
In 2008, UBS was forced into a bailout as a result of its investment banks’ exposure to US mortgage assets. By 2012, chief executive Sergio Ermotti realised that post-crisis regulation would destroy much of its investment bank’s profitability, and he sharply cut its resources.
For the past five years, Credit Suisse’s investment bank has been under scrutiny from investors and is now being drastically cut back under a restructuring plan from chief executive Tidjane Thiam.
When it comes to private banking, Credit Suisse and UBS have the advantage of size and global reach. “Apart from those in niche markets, only banks which can scale their offering will ultimately thrive” says Jürg Zeltner, head of wealth management at UBS. “We are in a winner takes all environment,” he adds. “Swiss service is a national ingredient — but something that we are exporting globally.”
Smaller, yet still substantial, banks such as Julius Baer in Zurich, Switzerland’s third-biggest wealth manager, and Geneva-based Pictet and Lombard Odier have also successfully expanded overseas. Even among this group, there is fierce competition, highlighted by the move late last month by Pictet to poach Boris Collardi, the high-profile chief executive of Julius Baer.
Yet despite the pressures facing the industry, the strategy of most Swiss banks still revolves around the belief — endorsed by some rivals — that banking in the affluent nation is somehow different.
Swiss political and economic stability
The attractions are manifold, Swiss private bankers argue. One is Switzerland’s political and economic stability, which contrasts with the capricious governments of some of their clients.
Over the past century, the Swiss franc has been consistently one of the world’s strongest currencies — Swiss government bonds among the best performing forms of government debt.
Switzerland also benefits from its neutrality — and, in the view of some, its position outside the EU.
“Many clients want to have a share of their wealth in different jurisdictions — you never know what is going to happen in the world,” says Georg Schubiger, head of private banking at Zurich-based Vontobel bank. “You want a country which is safe, has a strong economy, no social turmoil and is not affiliated to one of the big blocks — Europe, China and the US.”
Another banker adds: “There are 80 million Germans. There will always be at least 30,000 who think the eurozone is doomed.”
Switzerland also has a pool of private wealth specialists. “You should not underestimate the ecosystem we have here,” says Mr Gagnebin at Rothschilds. “A big choice of bankers, well trained client advisers, specialists in taxes, good lawyers, good IT systems experts.” Mr Schubiger at Vontobel adds: “Few places have such a long history of dealing with multiple currencies, multiple jurisdictions, multiple languages.”
Future threats and opportunities
But will such Swiss strengths be enough? The pressure on margins in recent years has been huge — much more so than in other financial centres. The juicy mark-ups possible when money was held in Swiss accounts to avoid tax have disappeared.
The Swiss Banking Association boasts that 226 out of 261 banks in Switzerland made a profit last year — which means 35 racked up losses. (The figures included all institutions, not just private banks.)
The future could be even worse. The biggest threat, says Mr Lakhani, is that fee rates “cannot defy gravity”. An eventual cooling of global equity markets and continuing low interest rates will add to the pressure on profit margins for those providing investment advice.
The big US institutions are also leveraging their investment banks to expand their wealth management business, boasting of the broad range of services they can provide to ultra rich clients who might want to list their companies or buy part of another company.
In Europe, Switzerland’s refusal to join the EU has disadvantages for its banks — they rely largely on subsidiaries in the bloc to serve customers in big markets such as Germany and France. Cross-border business could be even harder if the UK’s exit from the EU encourages a tougher stance by Brussels on third country access.
To survive, some smaller banks have focused on a particular niche group of clients. Others have voluntarily ceased business. A few have been taken over. Among the most prominent takeovers was of Lugano-based BSI bank, which was acquired by Zurich-rival EFG International last year at a price eventually fixed at CHF971 million.
BSI, however, also illustrated the danger of rapid overseas expansion. Shortly after EFG announced its bid, Swiss financial regulator FINMA declared BSI had been in “serious breach” of money laundering rules after becoming embroiled in a scandal surrounding Malaysia’s 1MDB state investment fund. FINMA said BSI should be legally dissolved once integrated into EFG.
The pressures on Swiss groups could increase as banking continues to be transformed by automation, reducing the need for human relationships. But Mr Schubiger at Vontobel argues that will not diminish the basic attraction of working with a Swiss banker. “It is easy to manage a bond portfolio with an algorithm,” he says, “but it is very difficult to manage the finances of entrepreneurial people.”
Indeed, other Swiss bankers argue that in an age of digitalisation, their service skills will help ensure long-term survival. Lombard Odier, for instance, has developed a specialism in technology — a quarter of its 2,300 staff work in IT, but Mr Odier sees it as helping rather than replacing his advisers. “You are managing people’s aspirations,” he says.
Mr Gagnebin at Rothschild agrees. “A client who is a 75-year-old widow is very different from a 35-year-old entrepreneur. Sometimes clients don’t know about correlations, or Value at Risk . . . The client adviser needs to be able to explain it in their terms.”
The former hotel manager says Swiss banks “have to go back to what they were before Switzerland became a tax haven. We need to go back to basics — to focus on investment performance but also good service, good advice, knowing your clients, thinking about them all the time.”
Wealth management booms in Asia As their home market grew more challenging, and other parts of their businesses floundered, UBS, Credit Suisse and Julius Baer blazed a trail through Asia, which contains the fastest-growing wealth markets. It has been fruitful — UBS is the biggest private bank in Asia (excluding mainland China), Credit Suisse is in third spot and Julius Baer fifth, according to Asian Private Banker, which ranks institutions by assets under management. But competition is increasing. “[Local Asian banks] sit close to where the new growth is coming from — the new generation of millionaires and billionaires,” says Christian Hintermann, head of KPMG’s financial advisory unit in Zurich. Last year, Bank of Singapore grew its assets under management by 44% UOB Private Bank was up 23% and DBS rose 8.3%. UBS, in contrast, only saw a 4.5%increase in assets under management. Several of the big American banks are also zoning in on Asia. Citi is the second biggest private bank in the region, and hopes to add another 80 people next year. Bankers on the ground in Singapore and Hong Kong say the shine has gone off the concept of “Swissness” and that the wealthy are no longer wooed by the mystique of having a Swiss private banker. The Swiss have responded to local competitors by refining their target market. Historically, the big Swiss private banks were strong in the segment serving “high-net worth” clients with $1 million to $30 million of investable wealth, says Mr Lakhani at Deutsche. Now, “the strategy of big Swiss banks has increasingly evolved to ultra high net worth customers [with at least $30 million of investable assets], where they believe they have a competitive edge”. end of infobox

Question: AFL draft prospect Sydney Stack busts out Fortnite celebration in under-18s

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

It took some time, but it looks like Fortnite is finally infiltrating the AFL.
The popular video game is played by millions of people around the world and has become something of a cultural icon, referenced in the celebrations of some of the biggest sports stars on the planet.
Though older generations might be completely baffled by the type of moves pulled out by French football star Antoine Griezmann at the World Cup, there are even more who can tie them directly to the online multiplayer which has become a staple of most gamers’ arsenals.
While most celebrations at AFL level are pretty bland - putting aside the odd shotgun, of course - it looks like the next generation of draftees are getting ready to tell their opponents when they can ‘Take the L’.
WATCH THE CELEBRATION IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ABOVE
One of WA’s most talented young footballers, Perth Demons midfielder Sydney Stack, pulled out some moves straight from the game after kicking a goal which helped seal his state’s win over the Allies in their final game of the under-18 championships at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
Whether he reproduces the moves at the next level remains to be seen.

Question: Prime Follows BoC Overnight Rate Up

It’s official: hundreds of thousands of Canadians will be paying higher interest rates as early as today.
After two years stuck at just 0.50%, the Bank of Canada finally raised its overnight rate by a quarter-point to 0.75%, marking its first rate hike in almost seven years.
Within 2.5 hours of the announcement Wednesday morning, the country’s Big 6 banks started announcing they would raise their prime by the full 25 bps, taking it from 2.70% to 2.95%. (Note that TD Bank’s mortgage prime rate increased by 25 bps to 3.10%, which affects variable rate mortgages. TD is the only big bank with a separate mortgage rate, and previously increased it to 2.85% from 2.70% in November 2016, independent of a BoC rate move).
Flashback to 2015 when the banks chose not to follow in lockstep the central bank’s combined 50 bps in cuts. Instead they reduced their prime rate—the benchmark for variable mortgages and lines of credit—by only 0.30%.
The fact that this full rate hike (unlike last year’s cuts) was passed down to bank borrowers hasn’t gone unnoticed.
“(The banks) are much quicker to pass along the hike when they’re the ones collecting the interest, rather than when they’re the ones paying it,” CanWise Financial President James Laird told the Globe and Mail.
The increase in prime means most adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) holders and those with lines of credit will see their payments increase as of their next payment date. Variable rate holders won’t see their payments increase, but they will see the interest portion of their payments jump while their principal portion declines.
ARM holders can expect monthly payments to increase approximately $24-25 a month based on an average mortgage debt of $201,000.
Those with thoughts of locking in will notice that fixed rates have already been creeping higher due to a 50+ bps leap in bond yields since early June. In the last 12 months alone, the 5-year yield has tripled.
According to Mortgage Dashboard, the average 5-year fixed rate available through brokers is now 2.46%, up from 2.42% a week ago.
Signals are pretty clear that the Bank of Canada isn’t through with its rate hikes just yet. Many economists expect the bank will raise rates again at its October meeting, with potentially more to follow in 2018.
Here’s a sampling of reaction to the BOC’s rate decision yesterday and expectations for future rate movements:
“The (rate) statement provided little guidance on when we might expect another rate hike, but it is worth noting that today’s move was not necessarily framed as simply walking back some of the stimulus provided in 2015. Rather, we think the bank’s projection that economic slack will be fully absorbed by the end of 2017 raises the risk that policymakers do more than withdraw those 50 basis points of ‘insurance cuts’ over the next year.”
– Josh Nye, Economist, RBC
“And so the tide begins to turn. Today’s rate hike is little surprise and we believe it is an appropriate step…The initial indications are that the Bank fully expects to follow-through with another rate hike (reversing the emergency cuts of 2015)”
– Douglas Porter, Chief Economist, BMO
“Although it’s an unspoken linkage, today’s move needs to be viewed in concert with measures that OSFI, the Department of Finance and provincial governments are delivering to calm the housing boom. While we are looking for a slowdown, the Bank’s 2018 forecast still has housing as neutral for growth (as it did in April) rather than an outright negative, suggesting that it sees the overall cocktail of policy measures (including its own rate hikes) as modest.”
– Avery Shenfeld, Chief Economist, CIBC

Question: Young Astronaut Hopeful Gets NASA Tour Of His (Space) Dreams

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Sixteen-year-old Murad Rahimov peered down into a gigantic space he had only dreamed about before: the world's largest clean room, kept scrupulously free of any dust or contamination, where NASA assembles and tests spacecraft before launch.
Murad's eyes gleamed and a smile played on his face as he took it all in — the scientists encased in sterile white suits; the replica of the massive new space telescope, the most powerful ever built, that will study the first galaxies born after the Big Bang.
Murad is obsessed with space. He has been ever since he was three, back in his home country Uzbekistan. His young imagination was sparked when his aunt gave him a picture book about space, and he couldn't stop looking at the images of the solar system. Soon after, he told his parents his dream: He wanted to become an astronaut and work for NASA.
On this recent day, he was getting a private tour of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., thanks to an NPR listener who heard about Murad's passion for space in a story that aired earlier this year. In January, NPR profiled the Rahimov family on the day they became naturalized as U.S. citizens. The Rahimovs immigrated to the U.S. from Uzbekistan in 2010, when Murad was nine. When they first landed in Kansas City, Murad spoke no English. Now, heading into his junior year of high school, he's on an accelerated track, taking extra classes in the summer and packing his schedule with AP courses.
Listener Aaron Schnittman heard that story on the radio, and his ears perked up when he heard that Murad's goal is to work for NASA. He emailed NPR that same day, that his brother is a research astronomer working for NASA at Goddard. "I think it would be a cool follow up to connect the son to my brother and help him make the connections needed to pursue studies in astronomy," he wrote.
Cool, indeed. The connection was made, emails were exchanged, and last week, at the invitation of Jeremy Schnittman, Murad and his mother, Limara Rahimova, made the trip to Goddard outside Washington, D.C. Schnittman, an astrophysicist who specializes in black holes, spent several hours showing the Rahimovs the inner workings of the space flight center and sharing his enthusiasm for space science.
Murad was clearly in his element, sporting a t-shirt with a picture of the Millennium Falcon spaceship from Star Wars, and a line from the movie: "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy."
He and his mother got to see the giant cryo-vac chamber where spacecraft are tested to find out if they'll withstand the extreme temperatures of space. They walked inside the acoustic chamber that blasts spacecraft with earsplitting sound to simulate the vibration of launch. They toured the laser lab where scientists are fine-tuning measurements to detect gravitational waves. "Amazing," Murad marveled.
Back in his office, ("black hole central," as he calls it) Schnittman talked with Murad about his research into how light gets bent around black holes. Naturally, they both share a hero in Albert Einstein, whose photo Schnittman keeps pinned above his desk. "It's remarkable," Schnittman said. "It's over 100 years since Einstein did all of this stuff, and still, everything is Einstein. Einstein, Einstein, Einstein."
When Murad mused about the possibilities of time travel, Schnittman sounded optimistic. "It's really not that much of a stretch to say that we're one step closer to time travel," he told Murad. "This is something that Einstein predicted 100 years ago. According to the theory, the equations, time travel should be possible. The trick is just building it and getting it to work, but as far as we can tell, there's no rule against it."
The astrophysicist and the would-be astronaut parted ways with the promise to stay in touch.
Later Murad said he loves science because it shows "the sheer awesomeness, the sheer scale of how insignificant and alone we are in the universe. All these petty fights that people have between themselves, they are just insignificant. When you start thinking about space, you get lost in the vastness of it. That's what captivates me the most."
Now that he's a U.S. citizen, he believes his dream of becoming an astronaut is more within reach. He and his brother automatically became citizens when their parents did. Murad was at school the day they took the oath: "I came home and looked at my parents, and felt all this pride," he said. "You could sense that something has changed. They were smiling from ear to ear."
For his mother, Limara, becoming a U.S. citizen has grounded her in a new way. "I felt before like I'm between countries," she said. "But now I feel like I'm staying ...both my feet here in this land."
Limara works at a school, and each morning they all stand for the pledge of allegiance. Before, she said, "it didn't touch me. But now, yes! And I know what each word in the pledge of allegiance means. And it means, for me, a lot."
As for Murad? The rising high school junior has his sights set on going to Cal Tech, and on the Mars mission he dreams of one day leading. "Some people, they tell me to try to get a real job," he said, "of maybe not shooting so high. But nah. I'm shooting for it. I'm gonna chase my dreams."
Meantime, there's a celestial show about to happen, one he's been excited about for years: the total solar eclipse.
Murad's hometown, Kansas City, is a perfect spot to see it: right in the path of totality.
Next Monday he will be outside, watching in awe as the moon slides over the sun, and dreaming big dreams of space.

Question: Mack Smith scores 31, Eastern Illinois beats Tennessee Tech

CHARLESTON, Ill. (AP) — Mack Smith had a career-high 31 points, Montell Goodwin added 23 and Eastern Illinois made 11 of 17 from 3-point range to beat Tennessee Tech 79-71 on Saturday.
Smith, a freshman, was 5 of 7 from 3-point range and 12 of 17 overall from the field. Goodwin made 4 of 5 3-point attempts and 7 of 9 foul shots while grabbing six boards and handing out six assists.
Smith's 3-pointer with 3:21 left in the game capped a 9-3 run and made it 66-53 for the Panthers (8-15, 4-8 Ohio Valley), who ended a four-game skid.
The Golden Eagles (16-9, 8-4) got as close as four on Kajon Mack's 3-pointer that made it 73-69 with 31 seconds left, but Goodwin made all six of his foul shots from there to secure it for Eastern Illinois.
Shaq Calhoun had 23 points to lead Tennessee Tech, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. Mack added 13 and Courtney Alexander II and Mason Ramsey added 10 each.

'['I found this news title. Can you represent it to find an explanatory news article?!', 'For Trump, the 1980s still hold relevance']' == '['This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title', 'NEW YORK (AP) — Bobby Knight. Don King. Sylvester Stallone.\nMany of President-elect Donald Trump’s cultural touchstones, which he’d frequently name-drop at campaign rallies and on Twitter, were at their peak in the 1980s — the decade Trump’s celebrity status rose in New York, Trump Tower was built, “The Art of the Deal” was published and he first flirted with running for public office.\nThe “Go Go 1980s” of New York were spurred by Wall Street’s rise. It was a brash decade in which excess was the norm and ostentatious displays of wealth and power were celebrated in pop culture and among Manhattan’s elite. And while much of what defined the 1980s has since gone out of style, Trump has seemingly internalized its ethos, which is reflected in the decor of the Trump Tower lobby and the celebrities he stood alongside during the campaign.\nAn outer-borough New York developer trying to prove himself across the East River, Trump always sought approval of Manhattan’s ruling class and was eager to make a name for himself, according to those who tangled with him during that formative decade.\nAdvertisement\n“He would relentlessly promote himself in the newspapers or on TV. He knew how to get press and squash his enemies,” said Geoge Arzt, press secretary for former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who served from 1978 to 1989. The me-first attitude that defined the 1980s “has long been a part of who Trump is,” Arzt added.\nIn the 1980s, as Trump came of age as a public figure, he opened up a refurbished Grand Hyatt on 42nd Street, took over the long-stalled renovation of Central Park’s ice skating rink and purchased the New York-area team in the fledgling United States Football League.\nHe fashioned himself into a regular in the gossip pages, playing the city’s tabloids off each other as he promoted his personal brand. He also took his first steps onto the national media stage, making his debut on “60 Minutes” in 1985. The long-running news magazine broadcast has continued to hold a special place in his heart. Several times at rallies, Trump invoked a “60 Minutes” segment he had just watched and he gave his first post-election interview to the show last month. That show was at its apex in the ratings in the 1980s.\nTime Magazine, which also wielded significant clout in the 1980s, also has remained an obsession for Trump.\nThe celebrity businessman, who complained in recent years that he wasn’t named the magazine’s Person of the Year, received the award in 2016. He called it a “very, very great honor.” That marked his eighth time on the cover this year alone — something that Trump would brag about during campaign rallies. He has taken to giving out autographed copies of the cover to visitors, including rapper Kanye West.\nBut while West is a current megastar, Trump mostly chose to trot out 1980s celebrities during his campaign, even if many of them had seen their star fade in the ensuing 30 years.\nKnight, the former Indiana University basketball coach who captured college basketball national titles in 1981 and 1987 but was later fired for attacking a student, became a favorite sidekick. He first appeared with Trump during the spring’s Indiana primary and reappeared at rallies in the Midwest during the general election stretch run.\n“One of the reasons I won: Bobby Knight! That’s the gold standard, right?” Trump exclaimed in August.\nKing, the flamboyant boxing promoter who hyped Mike Tyson’s 1980s fights, was also saluted by Trump as “a phenomenal person” despite a conviction for manslaughter. King appeared with Trump in September at a Cleveland church and stood with the president-elect last week while Trump was answering questions from the press at his Palm Beach resort.\nTrump has been drawn to other 1980s stars. Tyson endorsed the celebrity businessman. Actor Scott Baio, an outspoken Trump supporter, reached the zenith of his fame in the 1980s with the shows “Happy Days” and “Charles in Charge.” And on Saturday, actor Sylvester Stallone — who starred in three “Rambo” movies and two “Rocky” sequels in the 1980s — was a star guest at Trump’s New Year’s Eve bash at Mar-a-Lago, the lush Florida estate Trump bought in 1985 two years after he opened Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York.\nMuch of Trump’s political philosophy was formed in the 1980s too.

Question: 133% leap in children admitted to ER for marijuana, study finds

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

(CNN) As attitudes about marijuana shift around the world, researchers are warning parents that it's risky to keep it around children, especially those who are too young to know what it is.
The number of children who were admitted to emergency rooms for marijuana intoxication increased by 133% in France over an 11-year period, according to a new study.
Cannabis is illegal in France, but it has the highest rate of marijuana use in Europe, said Dr. Isabelle Claudet , lead author of the study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
"And that means we are facing an increase in emergency admissions of marijuana intoxication and an increase in severe symptoms seen in children," said Claudet, a pediatric emergency physician in Toulouse.
She and other researchers analyzed the number of French children under 6 admitted to pediatric emergency departments because of unintentional cannabis intoxication and the number of cannabis-related calls involving children to French poison control centers.
From 2004 to 2014, 235 children were admitted to ERs with cannabis intoxication, and there was a 133% -- or 13 times -- increase in the admissions rate for it. The number of calls to poison control centers related to cannabis exposure in children increased by 312% in the same period.
What concerns Claudet the most is that the concentration of the psychoactive chemical tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, has been increasing in cannabis products in France.
"THC concentration in cannabis products has increased from 9% in 2004 to 20% in 2014," she said. "I believe that's why we're facing more adverse effects in children."
Over the 11-year span, the severity of symptoms in children admitted to emergency departments because of marijuana intoxication also increased.
Twenty times more severe cases were reported in 2014 compared with 2004, and and four times more severe cases were reported in 2014 compared with 2013. Of the 32 children reported to have gone into comas, 53% were admitted in 2014, and there were more cannabis-related admissions than any other type of pediatric emergency room admission.
The main cannabis product circulating on the French market is hashish or cannabis resin, a solid and very concentrated form of cannabis extract, usually sold in the form of sticks or balls. Users break off pieces, roll them in tobacco papers and smoke them.
Claudet believes the best way to decrease the number of pediatric marijuana intoxication cases in France is to decrease the concentration of THC in cannabis through regulation.
"And we have to also warn consumers and parents that it could be very dangerous for children to eat such products," she said. "Because usually, parents think it's not very harmful because they're smoking it, and it relaxes them. But if a child ingests one stick or ball, they can become comatose."
What about children in the US?
Recreational marijuana is legal in eight US states and the District of Columbia, and medical marijuana is legal in 29 states and D.C. Cannabis product trends in the United States are quite different from those in France, though high concentration of THC is still a concern, especially in edible products.
"The results of this Pediatrics study also makes sense with what we've been seeing in Colorado. With the marijuana industry increasing, there's a lot of new products, a lot of concentrated products, that people vape or ingest, like the edible products, that are high in THC," said Dr. G. Sam Wang , a pediatric toxicologist at Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora.
"And so we've been seeing a lot of kids who are more symptomatic and more intoxicated," said Wang, who was not involved in the French research.
Wang has conducted several studies of US trends in pediatric marijuana intoxication, as well as trends in Colorado
He found that in states where recreational or medical marijuana is legal, the number of pediatric marijuana intoxication cases reported to poison control centers increased by 30% each year from 2005 to 2011. Children in states where marijuana was legal had more severe symptoms and were more likely to be admitted to a critical care unit compared with those in states where marijuana was not legal.
In his Colorado study, Wang found that in the two years leading up to when recreational marijuana became legally available for purchase in 2014 and the two years after, rates of marijuana exposure cases in children increased. On average each year, there was a 34% increase in calls to poison control centers about marijuana exposures in Colorado and a 19% increase across the US. Forty-eight percent of the cases in Colorado were attributed to the ingestion of an edible marijuana product.
Wang said the higher number of cases in states where marijuana is legal can in part be attributed to the increased availability of marijuana products and the attractiveness of edible product labels, which often look like normal candy or cakes to a child.
"Usually, kids get into things that become more available, and usually, that happens when it's a household product, like those laundry detergent pods, which were attractive," Wang said. "It's kind of the same situation with marijuana, where we think in states with legal marijuana, probably more households have it in their home, especially the food or edible marijuana products with bright labels, that makes it easier for kids to get into them."
The US National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws , or NORML, says that it is concerned about the inadvertent ingestion of cannabis products by children in both the US and France but that more regulation could help provide a solution: "It is our contention that the frequency of these incidences can be mitigated by the imposition of stricter regulatory controls, such as more stringent and overt product labeling and by limiting such products to single serving sizes."

Wang believes the key to ensuring the safety of children living around marijuana products is a combination of outreach and education. He tells parents to treat the marijuana like any other prescription or over-the-counter drug and keep it out of reach of children.
"Parents need to understand that kids can actually get sick from this stuff," he said.
Several states with legal recreational marijuana, including Colorado Oregon and Washington state , have also made child-resistant packaging a requirement for certain products.
Wang thinks this is also a step in the right direction, especially as other states or countries may be looking to legalize marijuana.
"They need to think about the unintended consequences of legalization, such as marijuana intoxication in children. So whether that's education, packaging regulations, dose regulations," he said. "Colorado had some of that in the beginning of legalization, but we also made mistakes. But I'm hoping that other places can learn from those mistakes and implement programs or rules at the outset."

Question: Trump Administration Takes Key Step To Rolling Back Auto Fuel Standards

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!

The Trump administration has begun the process of rolling back tough fuel standards for America's car and light truck fleet.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department have opened the public comment period on the rewriting of standards for greenhouse gas emissions for cars and light trucks for model years 2022-2025.
"We are moving forward with an open and robust review of emissions standards, consistent with the timeframe provided in our regulations," EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said Friday. The 45-day period allows for the public to comment about regulations before proposed changes.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy rules were first put into place after the OPEC oil crisis in the 1970s. During the Obama administration, the CAFE rules were toughened in the wake of the financial crisis and the car company bankruptcies. The new standards called for an increased reliance on electric vehicles.
Low gas prices and sluggish sales of alternative fuel vehicles have made meeting those standards tough, especially for those companies more reliant on larger vehicles. Earlier this year, the EPA announced it would reconsider a decision late in the Obama administration to make the rules permanent.
The auto industry has hailed the decision to reopen the fuel standards. With the announcement, Mitch Bainwol, president and CEO of the Auto Alliance, a group of auto manufacturers, says, "the Administration is fulfilling its commitment to reinstate the midterm evaluation of future vehicle fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards."
Environmental and consumer advocacy groups decried the move. "By reopening the midterm evaluation, EPA is bringing back questions that have already been asked and answered," said Consumers Union, the policy arm of Consumer Reports.
Shannon Baker-Branstetter with Consumer's Union says her organization's studies show people want to save money on gas. According to a recent survey, 90 percent of Americans want automakers to raise fuel efficiency. Baker-Branstetter says adds "In fact, consumers are especially concerned about the fuel efficiency of the crossovers and SUVs they've been gravitating toward in recent years."
"What kind of changes may or may not be introduced is far from clear", says Stephanie Brinley, senior automotive analyst, IHS Markit. The agencies are expected to expand the data used to make the determination, specifically taking into consideration consumer behavior, she says.
The public comment period allows the car companies and others to lobby to keep or make changes.
"Pressures from other government requirements and consumer interest in reducing fuel emissions are expected to continue to be aggressive," Brinley says.
Even if the U.S. scales back, she says, the movement toward higher standards will likely continue in other countries. Already this year, several countries said they would ban the sale of gasoline vehicles altogether within decades. Many analysts believe that rolling back fuel standards could jeopardize the near term future for electric vehicles.

Question: Colliers’ signings in the pipeline

The cold snap took its toll on Saturday as only three matches out of the scheduled eleven in the Ebac Northern League’s first division survived.
Ashington’s home clash against Newton Aycliffe was a casualty of the dip in temperatures with local referee Adam Nichol giving the ‘thumbs down’ decision as the Woodhorn Lane surface was frozen.
Colliers boss Steve Bowey expressed his disappointment but was philosophical about the verdict and immediately called his players in for a training session.
“Obviously we wanted to build on Tuesday night’s fantastic result and great squad performance at Dunston,” he said. “But we cannot predict the weather. I wanted the lads to keep ticking over so we had a good training session instead.”
Ashington now move on to Friday night’s home clash (December 15) against a Bishop Auckland side who have had an upsurge in form with five wins from their last eight matches. Kick off at Woodhorn Lane will be 7.30pm and Bowey added: “With Ryan Bell, Chris Carr and James Taylor getting more fitness under their belts, the squad is looking quite healthy.”
However, Dale Pearson will miss the game as he is automatically ruled out through suspension. Bowey admitted to having potential signings in the pipeline whilst striker Callum Johnston has moved on to Whitley Bay.
“I have spoken to one or two players over the past few weeks and we have a few in the pipeline but at this moment in time, I’m quite happy with the squad as it is,” he said.
“Whitley Bay put seven days in for Callum (Johnston) a few weeks ago and he has decided to leave. I’m disappointed he has gone because he is a young lad who is still learning his trade and I felt that Ashington was the place for him - but I wish him all the best.”
Meanwhile, the Colliers face the prospect of a busy schedule before and after Christmas with three games in the space of six days. On Thursday December 21, they are away to Newcastle Benfield; on Saturday December 23 they travel to Penrith before facing local neighbours Morpeth Town on Boxing Day where kick off is at noon
“I’m gutted that the game with Benfield has been inserted because I was supposed to be at a party!” said Bowey,

Question: Navigating The 'Aisle Of Confusion' To Whiten Your Teeth

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

Walk down the aisle of your local pharmacy or grocery store and you'll be bombarded by a dizzying array of bleaching products, from gels and strips to paint-on bleach.
Cosmetic tooth bleaching is a $3.2 billion global industry, according to market analysts, and it's getting bigger fast. It's easy to see why. Strikingly white, bright smiles dominate TV and social media, and people tend to prefer the bright teeth of youth rather than those that have been yellowed by trauma or age.
But if you decide that you, too, want a brighter smile, it's hard to know where to start.
"I'm a dentist, but I'm also a consumer and I can certainly get confused by all the products," says Ruchi Sahota who practices in Fremont, Calif. A colleague of hers describes the tooth product aisle in stores as the "dental aisle of confusion," because there are so many options. "You can easily get bewildered standing there trying to figure out which option is the best," she says.
The dilemma isn't helped by regulators. Tooth whitening products don't need approval from the Food and Drug Administration before hitting the market, because the agency considers them "cosmetic," a designation that's much more lightly regulated than drugs. And, the FDA says it has not determined that any ingredients contained in currently marketed products are unsafe.
The American Dental Association does offer some guidance in choosing a bleaching product — its ADA seal of acceptance. "The seal is rooted in science," says chemist Jamie Spomer, director of the ADA's seal of acceptance program; she notes that when a manufacturer applies for the seal, an independent panel of dentists analyzes the company's data and sometimes performs studies of their own.
The seal is a "symbol that an independent panel reviewed and approved the product for its safety and effectiveness," Spomer says. Many toothpastes carry the ADA seal. So far only one over-the-counter-bleaching product does — Crest 3D White Glamorous White Whitestrips.
Even so, Sahota says many over-the-counter products that don't carry the seal can still be effective if used as directed. Most cause some tooth sensitivity during the bleaching process, but that goes away once the process is complete, she says. Depending on which product is used, bleaching can take anywhere from two to six weeks.
And, if you're not careful, Sahota says the products can leak onto the gums, causing inflammation and "extra sensitivity" to pressure, temperature and touch.
A safer but more costly option might be to buy a custom-made tray from your dentist, Sahota says. Unlike the one-size-fits-all trays sold over the counter, a dentist makes the tray "just for you" she says.
The tray hugs the teeth and ensures the gel is kept where it should be and is evenly applied. The kits cost about $400; this at-home whitening process can take up to four weeks, depending on how stained the teeth are to begin with. Generally, the trays are worn for one or two hours a day.
If you want an even faster route, you'll have to pay more. Bleaching in the dental office can run more than $1,000, but results are quick and more dramatic. Dentists use bleaching gels that rely on high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (up to 40 percent hydrogen peroxide, compared to a 5 to 6 percent concentration in drugstore kits and a 10 to 15 percent solution in the home-kits from dentists).
So the whole process in the dentist's office can take just an hour or two to complete. And because the peroxide concentrations used there are much higher, the results can be many shades lighter than with take-home kits and over-the-counter products.
An important caveat: Insurance companies consider in-office teeth whitening "cosmetic" so the procedures are almost never covered.
Nonetheless, more Americans are opting for in-office whitening. In 2015, in-office bleaching procedures rose 29 percent over the year before, according to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey. And there's at least a little evidence that the whiter the smile the more attractive the person – in a 2012 study both men and women said they prefer white teeth when choosing a mate.
But go to the dentist before you start bleaching, says Ada Cooper, a New York City dentist.
"Tooth discoloration can be caused by cavities and other oral problems," she says. "It's more important to maintain healthy teeth."
It's also important to note that not all stains are the same. Some are mostly on the surface of the teeth and come from consuming lots of dark colored liquids like coffee, tea and red wine, as well as foods with vibrant yellow spices like turmeric. The tar and nicotine from cigarettes are also huge culprits. Often surface stains can be diminished by routine brushing, flossing and biannual professional cleaning in the dentist's office.
Unfortunately, there are deeper stains you just can't avoid by being careful about what you eat and drink. These come with aging and years of chewing, which causes millions of tiny cracks in the outer enamel of the tooth. These cracks can fill up with stain. On top of that, the thinning enamel can allow the yellow core of the tooth to become more visible. Grinding teeth at night and brushing too hard can also weaken and thin tooth enamel. Bleaching agents can penetrate these deeper stains and turn the tooth whiter — typically two to seven shades lighter.
There are some discolorations that just can't be bleached away. Trauma to a tooth — such as a chip or break — can also permanently discolor it from the inside, and stains from ingesting the antibiotic tetracycline or large amounts of fluoride are also permanent. In these cases, the only option for whiter teeth is a crown or veneer.
All types of bleaching — whether over-the-counter, take-home kits or in the dental office — are temporary, requiring touch-ups at some point. As for homespun remedies promoted online, in social media and in magazines as being "natural whitening" agents (including charcoal, baking soda or lemon juice), the ADA says there is no evidence these methods work.

The league last month cited an independent study it said found that more than 400 claims had been recommended for denial based on evidence of fraud by attorneys, doctors and former players.
Plaintiffs’ lawyers contend the league is not awarding settlement funds fast enough. So far, $227 million in claims have been awarded.
The league says attempts to scam the system are responsible for delays. The NFL has asked that the investigator be granted subpoena power.
League officials say a special investigator would help ensure the integrity of the settlement.

Question: Trump says gas prices are up, OPEC 'doing little to help'

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says OPEC is "doing little to help" rising gas prices and claims "if anything, they are driving prices higher."
Trump tweeted Wednesday: "The OPEC Monopoly must remember that gas prices are up & they are doing little to help. If anything, they are driving prices higher as the United States defends many of their members for very little $'s. This must be a two way street. REDUCE PRICING NOW!"
Last month, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries cartel agreed to pump 1 million barrels more crude oil daily, a move that should help contain the recent rise in global energy prices. However, summer months in the U.S. usually lead to increased demand for oil, boosting the price of gasoline in a midterm election year.

WASHINGTON --President Donald Trump has signed into a law a measure to kill some federal rules under the Dodd-Frank Act.
The rules, which are aimed at energy and mining companies, require such organizations to disclose their payments to foreign governments.
Industry leaders said it made it harder for them to compete against oil companies in other countries who didn't have to abide by such rules.
The president said repealing the rules would be good for jobs and the industry.
"We're bringing back jobs big league. We're bringing them back at the plant level. We're bringing them back at the mine level. The energy jobs are coming back," commented Trump.
"You see what's going on with the stock market. They know that we know what we're doing, so it's going up at record clips," he continued.
Proponents of the rule say it was put in place to require transparency from big oil companies and help fight corruption.
"The rule they're trying to repeal protects U.S. citizens and investors from having millions of their dollars vanish into the pockets of corrupt foreign oligarchs," said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.

While finishing the apartments for delivery by year-end, Shea Properties is looking to complete the approximately $200 million mixed-use project with a striking nine-story office building that will adjoin the parking garage and front 17th Street.
There also will be 16,892 square feet of retail space lining Curtis Street.
The 93,215-sf office building, 999 17th Street, will be the first new office building to be built on 17th Street in decades. A “folded” glass façade will set it apart.
“We’re doing what could only be considered iconic architecture here,” Culshaw said. “People are going to look at this building and say, ‘Wow, we haven’t seen anything like that in Denver.’
“It’s for boutique, small tenants that want a really high-class experience on 17th Street.”
Although much of the new construction in downtown Denver has occurred around Union Station, Culshaw said with The Quincy and 999 17th Street, “You’re in the center of everything, which is why we’re doing what we’re doing.
“We think the advantage of this is it’s close to LoDo, to the restaurants and bars and recreational amenities, but it’s right in the heart of where people are going to work.”
Maps of public transportation, restaurants, bars, hotels and “points of interest” like the federal courthouse and Denver Center for the Performing Arts demonstrate the site’s accessibility. Within a five- to 10-minute walk, there are eight hotels, including the Hotel Monaco and Renaissance Denver across the street; more than 40 cafes and coffee shops; and dozens of bars and restaurants. King Soopers, Whole Foods and Cook’s Fresh Market are within an average 15 minutes’ walk or quick trip on the 16th Street Mall shuttle. Light-rail and the Free MetroRide also are close at hand.
Apartment dwellers will have a choice of standard, upgraded or penthouse units. “’This will be as high-end as anything Denver’s seen,” said Culshaw. “We’ve chosen really high-end finishes.”
As for rents, “Our thought is to compete with our direct competitors, but produce a better product,” he said.
There will be studio units starting at just over 500 sf; one- and two-bedroom apartments, the largest of which will be about 1,200 sf; and seven penthouses from approximately 2,000 to 3,000 sf.
Although residents won’t have to have cars, they will have direct access to the parking garage. The 535-space garage also will provide parking for the office building, and there will be public parking to service the retail.
While Culshaw said there probably are a “few too many” apartments being built downtown right now, he doesn’t believe the market is wildly out of scale, and he thinks there are many millennials who will continue to rent vs. buy.
Also, there has been “quite a lot of good interest” in the office building, which will have 11,000-sf floor plates and is likely to break ground within the next several months. “We’ve been struck at the eclectic nature of people interested in this,” said Culshaw, adding companies in a variety of industries have taken note.
Tim Harrington and Tom Lee of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank are marketing the space, which will take approximately 15 months to complete.
The mixed-use development was designed by Davis Partnership and is being built by GE Johnson.

FOR LEASE: 2,773 SF Office Space RARE OPPORTUNITY! Located at the corner of Church and Battle streets in the heart...

Question: Hollingshead's goal, assist lead FC Dallas past Galaxy

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Hollingshead had a goal and an assist, helping FC Dallas beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-2 on Wednesday night.
Dallas (6-1-5) is unbeaten in its last six games against Los Angeles (5-7-1).
FC Dallas scored two goals seven minutes apart in the first half. Mauro Díaz sent a pass along the top of the 18-yard box and Ryan Hollingshead curled it inside the post in the 33rd minute. It was Díaz's seventh assist of the year. In the 40th minute, Hollingshead passed it across goal to find Cristian Colman at the far post for a bouncing header.
Carlos Gruezo added a breakaway goal in the 66th for a 3-0 lead.
Los Angeles got on the board in the 69th when Zlatan Ibrahimovic rolled a shot inside the far post following a defensive turnover. He scored on a volley in stoppage time after FC Dallas was reduced to 10 men following Colman's red card.

Question: WHL Roundup: Nolan Patrick happy to be back on the ice

There is a lot of pressure on junior hockey players during their draft year. Scouts eyes are watching your every move on the ice, trying to decide if you’re worthy of being drafted.
For Brandon Wheat Kings star forward Nolan Patrick, he was just hoping to get back on the ice this year.
The 18-year-old is the consensus No.1 overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft this June, had missed three months due to injury.
Now healthy, Patrick is making up for lost time and the defending Western Hockey League champion Wheat Kings are making a charge up the standings.
“It’s hard not being in the lineup, but I tried not to get too frustrated with it. I focused on my rehab and just tried to control what I can and not get too negative about the situation,” said Patrick, who missed all but six games this season before making his much anticipated debut on Jan.13 against Moose Jaw.
In 17 games this season, Patrick has 12 goals and 29 points, and the Wheat Kings have moved back into a playoff position.
It can be frustrating missing time due to injury, but when it’s your draft year, and you’re potentially a No.1 overall pick, missing time in front of the scouts eyes can be tough — but Patrick stayed patient and since coming back into the lineup has given the Wheat Kings a huge boost.
“For me, it was all about staying positive and focus on getting healthy. One thing I could control was how hard I worked, and I put all my energy into my rehab,” said Patrick. “It was tough missing three months and I feel like I’m getting my game back. I want to be at my best come playoff time.”
Patrick had high hopes in making Canada’s World Junior team this year, but his nagging groin/hip injury kept him from competing for a spot at the national junior team camp.
He wasn’t about to jeopardize taking up a spot on the team and also risk re-injuring it costing him even more time if he wasn’t 100 per cent.
“That was one of my goals this season was to make that team, but I wasn’t going to push myself if I wasn’t ready,” said Patrick.
Patrick, along with Halifax Mooseheads forward Nico Hischier and Swedish defenceman Timothy Liljegren are the projected top 3 picks in the draft.
Despite missing substantial time, Patrick still remains the consensus No.1 pick.
Now that he’s back in the lineup, Patrick can solidify his stock and leave no doubt in the scouts eyes that he’s the best junior prospect available.
“I had only played in six games, and the rankings weren’t really changing all that much. It’s now in my hands, I couldn’t do much before. Now, I can be a factor,” said Patrick.
Grant Armstrong took over general manager duties after Kelly McCrimmon made the move to the National Hockey League to become the new assistant general manager of the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
Armstrong sees the type of impact Patrick has on the team.
“The biggest thing about Nolan is that he’s a pro already. He acts like a pro. He’s passionate about winning, passionate about being a good teammate and he works incredibly hard every day,” said Armstrong, who compares Patrick to a Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry combination. “He’s the type of player you build your organization around and he’ll be that player at the next level.
“I’m not surprised he’s still the consensus No.1 pick because scouts know just how much he’s accomplished in a short time in the WHL, and they see that no doubt, he’s only going to get better.”
Last year as a 17-year-old, Nolan scored 41 goals and 102 points and was a key part of the Wheat Kings WHL championship team.
He’s been the perfect player for the Wheat Kings to build around.
“Playing under a guy like (former Wheat Kings head coach/GM) Kelly McCrimmon was a great experience. He made me work for everything I got as a 16-year-old. He really pushed me and got the most out of me as a player. My two and-a-half years here have been pretty special,” said Patrick.
This year, the Wheat Kings aren’t a powerhouse, but they’re a team loaded with veteran experience.
Don’t overlook them come playoff time.
“That’s the feeling for a lot of guys on the team. We know how to win, and our big focus right now is to climb up the standings as much as possible, and hopefully, we can make some noise in the playoffs,” said Patrick. “I don’t see us as an underdog. The last couple of years we’ve won so many games. A lot of teams really want to beat us because they remember the last couple of years. We’ll be ready for them.”

Drew Bannister isn't normally a fan of giving his goaltenders starts on back-to-back nights.
But since it's early in the season and the Greyhounds don't have another game the rest of the weekend, the Soo coach made an exception for Matt Villalta.
The Kings prospect stoned London's Sam Miletic -- the Knights' leading goal scorer last year -- on a shorthanded breakaway with eight minutes left to keep his team in front. The Hounds hung on for a 4-1 win Friday, dropping the Knights to 1-5 season start and a third straight home defeat at Budweiser Gardens.
Sault Ste. Marie struck for four goals in the third, two by Lightning Boris Katchouk. The Lightning prospect already has eight this season and continues to be a constant net presence.
London has been outscored 14-3 on Bud ice this season and only has 11 goals in 18 periods this year -- none by first-year players.
Knights starter Tyler Johnson, still mourning the passing of his grandfather Norm, deserved a better fate after he denied Jack Kopacka in tight in the first period, then stoned Tim Gettinger on a shorthanded breakaway chance.
Johnson played in a 5-1 loss at Sault Ste. Marie a couple of weeks ago, surrendering three power-play goals in the process.
He also gave up a pivotal shortie to Flyers pick Morgan Frost.
Not this time.
But after two scoreless periods, Kopacka cracked the goose egg with his first of the season with one second left on a roughing penalty to fellow Ducks prospect Max Jones. The Knights power forward was whistled for shoving a Hounds forward in the London crease.
Jones finished with three minor penalties in the final two periods.
NO JONES: Jones took his first shift of the game, then didn't play again the rest of the first period. His absence was particularly curious during two early London power plays, especially since he scored two with the man advantage Sunday in Oshawa. The entire time, the Ducks prospect sat on the divider between the bench and the photographers' box. He resumed his usual work load in the second period, including power-play time.
SHORT FIRSTS: The Knights didn't dress their past two first-round picks -- Lucas Rowe '(17) and Liam Foudy '16). Foudy missed his second straight game with a back injury after slamming into the end boards last Friday against Kingston. This is the first time the rookie Rowe, who is pointless in five games, was a scratch.
In the past two weeks, the London Knights welcomed back 105 goals into their lineup.
That's what Cliff Pu, Max Jones, Robert Thomas and Sam Miletic produced last season.
Miletic, with a team-leading 37 tallies, should be able to score at that pace again. But after his stint in the Pittsburgh organization, it's clear he's intent on bringing more than just one important dimension back to his major junior team.
"I want to win," the overage winger said. "I just want to help the team. We've played five games and there are 63 more (in the regular season schedule)."
He knows the atmosphere he has re-appeared in this week.
That's not a comfortable feeling for any franchise, let alone one with London's track record.
They consider it a temporary condition.
The arrival of Miletic gives the Knights two potential scoring lines and two possible power-play looks.
Not every London player who comes back from the pro life pay instant dividends. But London needs that from a sniper who last saw action in an American league exhibition game at Wilkes-Barre about a week ago.
"I learned a lot and I'm excited to be back here," he said. "They treat their players so well in Pittsburgh, you feel super-spoiled there. I've learned a lot and I'm excited to show it off."
Miletic banged home a rebound in an NHL exhibition game against Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. He went in an undrafted free agent invitee to camp and came out with a three-year contract.
His confidence should be higher than its ever been -- and it should show on the ice.
"Everyone works so hard there, you have to act like a sponge," he said, "and the more you bring it back here, the more success you'll have."
KNIGHT HAB-IT: If you want a perfect example of how priorities in hockey have shifted so quickly, just look at Montreal. Michael McCarron was the big centre the Canadiens desired when they took him in the first round of the 2013 NHL draft. A year later, Victor Mete joined the Knights as an OHL rookie and was teammates with McCarron before Oshawa traded for the dominant centre on their way to the 2015 Memorial Cup title. Mete, a fourth-round NHL pick after winning the 2016 Cup in Red Deer, is now on the Habs blue line and McCarron has started the year again in the American league. And how big a story is young Victor in La Belle Province these days? Well, the insatiable Quebec media is planning to come to London over the next few weeks to do a story on his junior roots.
RIGHT AT HOME: Tyler Rollo saw a familiar face as soon as he set foot in the Knights room after being acquired from Peterborough this week. Third-year defenceman Evan Bouchard, also from the Burlington-Oakville area, plays on his summer hockey team.
"We're at the Powerade Centre in Brampton every Sunday," the overage forward said.
On Friday, they both started on the point of London's top power-play unit. Both Rollo's OHL coaches -- Dale Hunter and Petes boss Jody Hull have something in common. They both hail from Petrolia.
"Jody was a great coach and he really knew where I fit in," he said. "I'm here to provide whatever the Knights need. I want to have a good year and this is a winning organization, so that's what I want to do."
SWIFT SOO: The Greyhounds' reds are still the best threads in the league. The way they play these past few years is alluring, too.
The Soo is dangerous on the forecheck, they strip pucks constantly on the penalty kill and they're deadly on the rush.
"The philosophy is thinking the game at a high level and you've got to be able to skate now," GM Kyle Raftis said. "We try to build our offence from the goal line out -- activating instead of being in the older term 3-on-2, we're trying to make it a 4-on-3. Everyone backchecks so well, so when you can add that different wave of attack with smarter players who know when to delay and jump in, it's another element."
It's become a recruiting tool for the northern city with the long bus rides.
"The kids enjoy playing it," he said. "They want to play with the puck on their stick and make plays. When you have d-men who get up in the play and that confidence grows, it's attractive for them, too."
