The Federal Reserve interest rate, or the federal funds rate, is the rate at which banks and credit unions lend to and borrow from each other. It is one of the Federal Reserve's key tools for maintaining strong employment rates, stable prices, and reasonable interest rates. The rate is determined by the Federal Reserve and adjusted eight times a year, though it can be changed through emergency meetings during times of crisis. The Fed doesn't directly control the interest rate but sets a target rate. It then uses open market operations to influence rates toward this target. Ways of measuring inflation Inflation is typically measured using several methods, with the most common being the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI tracks the price of a fixed basket of goods and services over time, providing a measure of the price changes consumers face. At the end of 2023, the CPI in the United States was ****** percent, up from ****** a year earlier. A more business-focused measure is the producer price index (PPI), which represents the costs of firms.

The Future Computing (FC) Community of Interest (CoI) meeting on August 5–6, 2019, explored the evolving computing landscape to inform agencies about potential opportunities as well as gaps in the Nation's future computing objectives. The meeting focused on where computing will be in the next decade and beyond while also looking at emerging and future applications. It considered the need for new software concepts and approaches to effectively capitalize on new hardware architectures and paradigms. The long period of sustained growth in computing power over the last five decades, characterized by Moore's Law and Dennard Scaling, is expected to end over the next decade. The continued improvement in computing performance will now require moving to new modalities and new means of cooperation and partnership for the benefit of the Nation. The FC-CoI meeting was held at the offices of the Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program in Washington, D.C. The meeting brought together key members of industry, academia, and the Federal Government over a two-day period to discuss the future of computing. The meeting had been advertised in the Federal Register to encourage broad participation from the advanced computing community.

Several water-stressed cities in the US are now or will soon be augmenting their drinking water supplies with advanced treated recycled wastewater through a process known as direct potable reuse (DPR). While the safety of DPR has been investigated with regard to pathogens, we have limited knowledge of the overall microbial water quality through the treatment process and distribution. This project analyzed the microbiology of a DPR pilot facility in El Paso, TX and three simulated DWDSs fed by the pilot. We directly quantified and identified bacteria present at various stages of treatment. Cell counts bacterial diversity decreased across the DPR treatment train. Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters at the end of the train led to a stable microbial community, which partially persisted in the simulated distribution systems despite chlorination. This work suggests a shift in microbial identity of water through advanced treatment and a role for GAC in seeding the finished water.
