BREAKING: U.S. Olympic Committee did not heed sexual abuse warnings

Having trouble viewing this email? | View it in your browser   Nearly six years before USA Swimming was rocked by a series of sexual abuse accusations against coaches, the national governing body sent two letters to the U.S. Olympic Committee in 2004 and 2005 asking it to take the lead in developing policies to protect young athletes across the Olympic movement. "One thing that has been made clear as we learn more and more about the past is that the Olympic community failed to protect its athletes," USOC chief executive officer Scott Blackmun said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports.

ONS Releases: National accounts, economic commentary, and more

View in browser 31 March 2017 Economy UK index of services: Jan 2017 In the 3 months to January 2017, services output increased by 0.6% compared with the 3 months ending October 2016. This is in line with the average 3-month on 3-month growth since January 2015. UK index of services: Jan 2017 Balance of payments for the UK: Oct to Dec and annual 2016 The UK's current account deficit was £12.1 billion in Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016, a narrowing of £13.6 billion from a revised deficit of £25.7 billion in Quarter 3 2016, due predominantly to a sharp narrowing in the deficit on Trade; the deficit in Quarter 4 equated to 2.4% of gross domestic product (GDP) at current market prices, down from 5.3% in Quarter 3. The total trade deficit narrowed to £4.8 billion in Quarter 4 2016, following a sharp widening of the deficit in Quarter 3 2016 (£14.8 billion); this narrowing was predominantly due to an increase in the exports of goods of £7.6 billion. Balance of payments for the UK: Oct to Dec and annual 2016 Business investment in the UK, revised: Oct to Dec 2016 Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), in volume terms, increased by 0.1% to £78.1 billion in Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016, when compared with Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2016 (£77.9 billion). Between Quarter 3 2016 and Quarter 4 2016, business investment, in volume terms, was estimated to have decreased by 0.9%, from £43.9 billion to £43.5 billion. Business investment in the UK, revised: Oct to Dec 2016 UK quarterly national accounts: Oct to Dec 2016 UK gross domestic product (GDP) in volume terms was estimated to have increased by 0.7% between Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2016 and Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016, unrevised from the second estimate of GDP published on 22 February 2017; more generally, the latest GDP data for 2016 are little changed from the second estimate of GDP. UK quarterly national accounts: Oct to Dec 2016 Consumer trends, UK: Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016 In Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016, household spending (adjusted for inflation) grew by 0.7% (£2.0 billion) compared with Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2016. The main contribution to growth can be seen in "Housing", this has increased by 1.3% compared with Quarter 3 2016. Consumer trends, UK: Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016 UK economic accounts: Oct to Dec 2016 Distribution and use of income, capital and financial account and balance sheet data for public and private non-financial corporations. UK economic accounts: Oct to Dec 2016 Economic well-being: Oct to Dec 2016 In Quarter 4 2016, real household spending per head increased 0.5% compared with the previous quarter – despite a fall in real household disposable income of 0.1% over the same period – meaning that it reached its pre-economic downturn level for the first time. Economic well-being: Oct to Dec 2016 UK quarterly sector accounts: Oct to Dec 2016 In Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016, the households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) saving ratio was 3.3%; the lowest quarterly saving ratio since comparable records began in Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 1963. UK quarterly sector accounts: Oct to Dec 2016 Monthly economic commentary: Mar 2017 Overall, most of the broader measures of the UK economy are continuing the trends seen during 2016. For example, consumer spending remains relatively strong, services output is increasing, manufacturing output is rising, particularly in the production of motor vehicles and unemployment is low. Households are however seeing rising prices for goods and services in some key areas such as food and fuel, which is putting downward pressure on real wages and incomes. More data will become available over the coming months, particularly the preliminary estimate of GDP for Quarter 1 at the end of April which will give a more complete picture of the economy in the first few months of 2017. Monthly economic commentary: Mar 2017 We deal in numbers every day, so it's important that what we do and how we do it is fit for purpose.  We've blogged about how we're changing the way we write numbers at ONS.
