Huffington Post: Sergey Aleynikov, Goldman Programmer Accused Of Code Theft, Faces New Charges

Posted: 09 Aug 2012 10:34 AM PDT


NEW YORK, Aug 9 (Reuters) - A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc computer programmer who was cleared of federal charges in February faces new charges of illegally using and copying the firm's high-frequency trading code, according to an arrest warrant filed in Manhattan criminal court.
The charges, brought by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, are a new twist in a case first brought by U.S. federal prosecutors in July 2009.
The programmer, Sergey Aleynikov, was found guilty at trial in December 2010 of theft of trade secrets. A U.S. appeals court reversed his conviction and he was released from prison in February after serving nearly one year of an eight-year sentence.
The felony arrest warrant, dated last week and signed by an FBI agent, charges Aleynikov with "unlawful use of secret scientific material" and "unlawful duplication of computer related material."
Aleynikov's lawyer, Kevin Marino, told Reuters on Thursday that "we look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Aleynikov against these false charges." (Reporting By Grant McCool; Editing by Martha Graybow; Editing by Gerald E. McCormick)

Huffington Post: Louisiana Pregnancy Scandal At Delhi Charter School Triggers Debate (VIDEO)

Posted: 09 Aug 2012 10:38 AM PDT

Delhi Charter School in rural northeast Louisiana had a controversial policy in place from 2006 to 2012 that required students who were suspected of being pregnant to take a pregnancy test. If students refused or tested positive, they were kicked out and required to be home-schooled. Since a member of the Delhi Charter community filed a complaint with the ACLU, the school has been thrown in the center of the national debate on how academic institutions should handle teen pregnancy.

The school's policy was changed after the complaint was filed, according to the school's board chairman on Wednesday.

Earlier today, a HuffPost Live segment investigated the ways in which American schools are failing to support teen parents. Host Alicia Menendez talked to Huffington Post Teen Editor Elizabeth Perle, along with two teen mothers and a teen father. Check out the video above to watch the full segment.
