Note to Eagles: It Could Be Worse
The Philadelphia Eagles are limping home Monday night for a game that feels like the beginning of the Andy Reid farewell tour. The 3-7 Eagles have lost six straight, and it seems likely they will fire their longtime coach at season's end.
But before Eagles fans start celebrating the exit of Reid, they should look across the sideline. The Carolina Panthers, the Eagles' Monday opponents, are a good example of what could happen when you part ways with a successful coach: It doesn't always go well.
The Panthers went 73-71 and made a Super Bowl in nine seasons with John Fox, the winningest coach in franchise history. Ron Rivera, Fox's successor, has gone 8-18 since. At 129-88-1, Reid has won more games for the Eagles than any other coach. This is shaping up to be just his third losing season in Philadelphia.
Taking over for a successful coach comes with its share of pressures and expectations. Often, like in Rivera's case, the new coach inherits a struggling team. That is what happened with coaching legend Mike Ditka, who went 15-33 with the New Orleans Saints after Jim E. Mora won 93 games with the organization. Raheem Morris, another recent example, went 17-31 following Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay.
The transition can go just fine—John Harbaugh entered Sunday 52-22 with Baltimore since he replaced Brian Billick. But Eagles fans may find themselves in an odd spot soon: missing Andy Reid.

Are there instances of someone who wrote a successful book out of adventures played with friends?

I'm not sure if these qualify, but here are a few examples:
-Rob Kuntz of Pied Piper Publishing has publishing modules such as the Living Room based on his Game Master experiences from the early days of Dungeons and Dragons.
-The hit anime/novels Records of Lodoss War actual began as an actual play recounting of a RPG session in Japan.
-Ed Greenwood spawned countless novels and articles of the Forgotten Realms based on stories he had been writing (and later playing) since he was a child.
-Gary Gygax of course wrote the Gord the Rogue novels, with many of their roots from Gary's own D&D world!
So yes, there's always hope!
Tracy Hickman has indicated on several occasions that much of the Dragonlance content was inspired by his own experiences playing with Margaret Weis and several other (at the time) TSR employees.
Also my current favorite fantasy series Malazan Book of the Fallen by Stephen Erickson started out as a GURPS fantasy campaign he had.
Yes Raymond Feist and his Midkemia/Riftwar series was born out of an early roleplaying campaign. Probably one of the first.
I don't know if it counts, but Dominic Deegan was inspired by a D&D session, where the creator played a Divination Wizard.

Hendersonville public parking lot to get more spaces
Published: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 11:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 11:15 a.m.
The Dogwood parking lot at the corner of 4th Avenue and Church Street in Hendersonville will get 18 more public spaces with work on the new layout scheduled to begin March 25. The parking lot will include five handicapped spaces, 88 metered spaces, 58 leased spaces and two electric vehicle charging stations.
In October 2011, the Main Street Advisory Committee reviewed some potential changes to parking layouts in a number of downtown parking lots, including the Dogwood lot, according to a news release from the City of Hendersonville. The advisory committee noted the general need for additional public parking and a specific need for a simplified layout in the Dogwood lot that would ease visitor navigation. The committee recommended a design that eliminated free parking within the lot in concert with a reduction in the total number of leased spaces, thereby boosting the total number of publicly available spaces by 18. City Council approved these layout changes in the Dogwood lot at a November 2011 session and in January of 2012 agreed to include funding for the project within the current Public Works budget.
If you lease a space in this lot, you will continue to have access to your space. If are interested in leasing a space in a downtown lot, please contact Anita Lockhart with the City of Hendersonville Police Department at 697-3050.

|Katie Harman, Miss America 2002, Judith Rodin PhD, President of the University of Pennsylvania, Marcella Bossow Crossing the Finish Line founder, and John Glick, MD Director of the The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Miss America 2002, Katie Harman and Conshohocken-based charity Crossing the Finish Line visited Penn on Friday January 18. Crossing the Finish Line founder Marcella Bossow - whose husband was a patient at Penn's Cancer Center - and Harman took a tour of the Rena Rowan Breast Center at the The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania. Afterwards they visited oncology patients in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and gave OncoLink an exclusive interview.
Miss American, Katie Harman, uses her influence to support women battling breast cancer, especially those who are struggling in the last days of their lives. She is continuing her Philadelphia visit by touring Penn's Rena Rowan Breast Center and meeting with Penn cancer specialists to learn more about their latest research and treatments efforts.
Inspired by the late Peter R. Bossow, Jr., Crossing the Finish Line offers the young adult cancer patient and his or her spouse or caregiver a respite from the unyielding physical and emotional demands of cancer. The charity intends to provide patients with a unique "retreat" opportunity in a comfortable and secure home-like environment to foster a celebration of love in the face of uncertainty. It offers patients and their loved ones a much-needed time for reflection and relaxation in the midst of turmoil. Peter and his wife Marci discovered that a respite from the countless hours of needles, tests, nausea, hair loss and the many sacrifices they were forced to endure, was a peaceful way to refocus and embrace life's unexpected journey. Peter's legacy is a non-profit organization that enables others the opportunity to experience a hope-filled breather during the throes of their courageous battle.

Suppose $T$ is an ergodic measure-preserving transformation on a measure space $(X,\Sigma,\mu)$, and $f\in L^1(\mu)$. Does the limit
$\lim_{X\to\infty} \pi(X)^{-1}\sum_{p\leq X} f(T^{p}x)$
exist almost everywhere? Is it constant almost everywhere? Here the sum runs over primes, and $\pi(X)$ is the prime counting function.
When $X=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ with Lebesgue measure, and $T:x\to x+\theta$ is an irrational rotation, the answers to these questions are "yes" and "yes", by Vinogradov.

I've heard much of Ansel Adams' Zone system, but I've never quite understood it. What is it, how and where is it used, and is it still useful with modern (digital) cameras? Thanks!
The basic rule: All photometers are metering the exposure base on middle gray.
Let's say that you have a scene with only middle gray luminosity colour; if you base your exposure on the meter reading for an area of this scene, the picture will be exposed so it's as you saw it.
Now let's say that you have a woman wearing a black dress and a black background. If you calculate the exposure based on the meter reading for this scene the resulting photograph will be a grey dress and a grey background, because the metering is giving you the exposure as if you metered on an area of grey!. To correct this exposure you need to add -2 stops.
The same thing for happens with white. Let's say that you have a woman with a white dress, on a white background. The metered exposure will give you a grey dress on a grey background, because again the metering is giving you the exposure for a grey subject!.Add +2 stops to get the correct exposure in this case.
Now what is the trick. The zone system says that it is up to you to determine how you would like to photograph your scene, and it's up to you to determine where you'd like to put emphasis in your photo.
Its up to you to decide what is black, what is white and what is grey, and to make the final exposure.
What does that mean? Let's say that you have any normal scene. In that scene you have highlights, you have shadows, and you have other areas of middle tone.
Let's say now that you have 2 women, both wearing black dresses, in front of a white background. One of the women is under a spot light, the other is in shadow. It's up to you to decide which woman will have the black dress in the final exposure, as you can't have both exposed to be black due to the differing lighting conditions. The full luminosity range of the picture is the zone system.
If you make a measure on the woman in the shadow's black dress and correct the exposure with -2 stops, then the woman on the spot light black dress will probably get washed out.
If you measure the woman in the spot-light's black dress and correct the exposure with -2 stops then the woman in the shadow will be totally dark.
If you try to make them both appears then you get the average reading between the 2 blacks, and correct with -2stops, then no one will be totally correct.
To summarise:
Olympus OM System
I will have as reference the Olympus OM system that have still now the best and only multi-spot metering system, and I wish some one add the same multi spot metering system on all new digital cameras.
From the olympus om 4ti manual I get the example photos.
A white example photograph.
A black example photograph.
Full range luminocity
and a full zone system.
Now to try to show the zone system, I make the picture pixelize and you can see the different luminosity rectangles. The zone system say that every scene have this range and its up to you to decide what luminosity you going to select on you shot. So you select a rectangle spot, you decide what luminosity this have (gray ? white ? black ? etc) you make the measure, correct the exposure and take the picture.
Yes of course it is. The metering are the same, the scenes are the same, the technique is the same. I say it again, if the modern cameras have multi spot metering then we going to have a real tool for correct exposure.
Not only digital cameras use the same technique but adobe photoshop also use the same technique. Almost on all correction on the images you have see the 3 eyedroped tools. If you do not know why they are there, I tell you is there to help you correct the zone system of your photos. See this example and make later your test to find out how to use them:
Aristos' answer is incomplete, as the true power of the Zone system lays not only in effective spot metering (what Aristos described), but in the compression and expansion of the tonal range in development. I can't reply to posts, so I'll piggyback on his.
This is what a zone scale looks like (ignore the gray scale values):
By default, most B&W film will render the scene before us more or less as it exists. If there's a 1 stop difference in light between a highlight and shadow, that's what we'll see. But what if we'd like to boost that difference? Make the lighting more dramatic? We can do it in post processing, or we can do it right on the negative using the Zone system.
Black and white film can be overdeveloped for an effect knowing as pushing. It's a darkroom technique often used by photographers to compensate for underexposing film, and you'll often hear photographers say, "I shot my ISO 400 film at ISO 800 and pushed it." That means they underexposed their roll by a stop and overdeveloped in an attempt to get a usable image. In practice, this develops the upper zones and leaves the lower zones alone, the science behind that is waaay out of the scope of this post. In effect, it changes the even tonal scale and increases effective contrast.
That might sound kind of complicated, so I'll give you an example:
Imagine you have a tree stump that we want to be a nice, brilliant white while the leaves on the ground should be dark, something to create a mood. We meter our leaves (per Aristos' example) and get a reading of 1/60 f/8. Since we want them to be dark - Zone III - we reduce our exposure by two stops and get 1/125 f/11 (one stop from each). That's going to be our exposure.
We want a bright, brilliant tree stump (it's a birch) so we meter it as well. Since we have a reading for our Zone III (1/125 f/11), what we're looking for is how many zones away our tree stump is. It meters to 1/125 f/11 - 'ah, so it's the same as the leaves' you think - but not quite. Our meter reads everything as Zone V, so it's actually 2 zones away. That's not much of a distance, and we want it to be all the way in our bright, brilliant zone - Zone VII. So we make a note that this image needs a bump from Zone V to Zone VII.
Open the shutter, expose, we have the image on film and it's off to the darkroom for the final step.
Now, the film needs to be overdeveloped long enough to push Zone V into Zone VII. Again, this is because film development is an uneven process: shadows get developed first, and once they're developed they stay in their place. The higher up you go on that zone chart, the more time you need to develop, and the more "movable" the zones are. In effect, you're just scrunching up the higher zones like so:
In reality, the Zone system is a lot of work. Every film with every developer gives a slightly different result/effective speed. You need to calibrate your exposure, check neg densities, do everything exactly the same time, and time and time again. It's also a system that thrives on large format, since you shoot every image on a different neg and develop each of those individually. The large negative also helps with the increased graininess that comes from pushing film. Most photographers I know who use the zone system shoot two negs: they develop one according to their charts, then they develop the second neg based on their results with the first one.
Does this part of the Zone system transfer to digital? Sort of, but not really. Digital does much better in highlights than in shadows, and it's better to overexpose a scene then push it down in PP. Knowing how your camera records exposure is great, but remembering stuff like this is one of those times when I am really happy with the digital revolution.
It's important to realise two things. Firstly, Adams was exposing single sheets of film in his view camera - not rolls - so he could vary the development time per-negative, and secondly he pretty much always printed on the same paper, with the same gamma and tonal range. So his zone system was a quick way of mapping the tones in the picture that he wanted as 'pure white', 'pure black' and all the zones in-between onto the final print, by varying both the exposure and the development time of the negative. So by under- or over-exposing, and marking the single undeveloped negative appropriately, he could he could develop the negative to pretty much the optimum darkness without having to constantly inspect it under the safelight. It would have the correct tonal range for the paper he knew he was going to print it on, and from there it was 'only' a matter of tweaking the final print, at which he was also a master. It was his desire to consistently map the tonal range he was interested in, and 'pre-visualised', as he put it, onto his favourite paper, led to the zone system.
As others have said, it's not directly applicable in the digital era as there is no negative, just a raw file whose curves can be adjusted at will. But his basic insights about pre-visualisation, of actively deciding what tones in the photo will be pure black, pure white etc. in the final print, and both exposing and post-processing accordingly, are still valid.
Here is another introduction to the Zone System from Luminous Landscape. And here is a simplified introduction for the digital age from Norman Koren which I bookmarked some time ago.

However, Widnows SharePoint Services (WSS 2.0 and WSS 3.0) that is what portal and server products are built on, just adding additional features, are. Free as in you need to have Windows Server 2003, so if you have that WSS is free.
Of course you can get a full evaluation version as well
What did not work for you out of the box with SharePoint? There is a lot more to setup than just running the installer. Have you tried following any of the online documentation? I work on SharePoint 2003 and MOSS everyday and very rarely does it not work at the end of a setup. Those that have failed for me usually are tied to permissions issues with the service account or database permissions.
Speaking of installing SharePoint. Is there a command line installer or command line install options. I've been playing with stsadm.exe and found to easy to set up new sites and security but would really like to be able to script an entire install.

Moral of the story, cute blonde girls can get away with almost anything.
Printable View
Sort of like when a white guy goes into a black neighborhood and they all think he's a cop:rolleyes:
Early in my work life, I was a CPS caseworker. Being male, I had several cases in what were perceived to be the riskier parts of a city, meaning the projects and low-income housing areas. The black folks were always engaging and respectful. The guys hanging out in the neighborhood would talk a bit at me, all in fun, never any difficulty. The people I encountered in that job, the ones who got serious, threatening, and even occasionally dangerous, were white people. The experiences informed my thinking about stereotypes.
3rd suspect in stabbing of Steelers lineman caught in Fla.
Associated Press |
Police say a third suspect in the stabbing of Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Mike Adams has been captured in Florida.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard says 26-year-old Jerrell Whitlock of Pittsburgh was arrested Friday morning in Gainesville in central Florida and is being held there.
Whitlock had been wanted on charges of attempted homicide, attempted robbery, aggravated assault and conspiracy for his alleged role in the June 1 attack on Adams. Two other men are already jailed on similar charges.
According to a criminal complaint, the men tried to rob Adams as he left a restaurant around 3 a.m. and tried to steal his vehicle.
Adams had surgery for stab wounds but the 6-foot-7 345-pound lineman expects to recover by training camp in July.

WACO (January 22, 2012)- For the first time in history, Waco ISD school board members, The Waco City Council, McLennan County Commissioners, board members from McLennan Community College, and local lawmakers, met together for a "thinktank" meeting regarding possible upcoming Texas legislation.
Many packed the Bosque Theater inside the Waco Convention Center for the meeting Tuesday night. Area leaders conveyed in one voice to local lawmakers how they would like political issues handled for the upcoming year.
Waco ISD School Board Member Pat Atkins kicked off the meeting. Atkins spoke on behalf of Waco ISD, and detailed what his school district wants in regards to Texas Education.
Atkins detailed how Waco ISD would like to see more funding go to Pre-K programs throughout Texas. Currently, the State of Texas only funds 'half-day' Pre-K programs.
Atkins presented data, showing that students who were a part of a full Pre-K program, had a higher chance of completing high school, and a lower chance of committing a violent crime.
In closing, Atkins said he'd like to see more change to formulas that are used to help decide how schools in Texas receive funding from the State Department of Education.
Dr. Roland Goertz then spoke about medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
Under the Affordable Care Act, the medicaid age gap would be expanded to individuals between the ages of 19 and 65.
However, it's optional for a state to choose if they would like to expand medicaid. Governor Rick Perry has said that Texas' current position is to not expand.
If Texas did choose to expand, Dr. Goertz said over 27,000 McLennan County citizens would receive affordable healthcare.
Sarah Roberts, Senior Vice President of Economic Development for The Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce, then said that expanding medicaid would cost Texas 5.7 billion dollars in revenue from 2013 to 2022.
But she countered, saying the expansion of medicaid would also create thousands of jobs for Texas and McLennan County.
From 2013 to 2022, Roberts said Texas could receive a 250 billion dollar boost to the economy. She then said that Waco would receive an estimated 4 million dollar boost.
Texas Senator Brian Birdwell (R) and Texas Rep. Charles "Doc" Anderson (R) attended the meeting and listened intently.
They will now head back to Austin with a better idea of what and how their community wants them to vote for the future.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) -- Two years ago, the Syrian revolution erupted with a full-throated scream of defiance. After years of repression, it shocked even those who were doing the screaming.
"The first protest was so great when we screamed and said 'the people want to overthrow the regime,'" recalled Media Daghestany, an opposition activist and single mother of one from the Syrian city of Homs.
"I screamed, and then went silent to hear, 'Oh, I said that.' And then I screamed again," she said.
For truck driver Abu Mariam, his evolution into an opposition activist occurred after he witnessed Syrian security forces beating demonstrators in Aleppo, the nation's largest city.
"I saw protesters were screaming, "God is great," and they were being stabbed with knives and beaten with electric clubs," Abu Mariam said.
"Automatically, I joined them and started screaming 'God is great.' When I yelled that, I felt like was reborn."
The popular unrest following the first protests in March 2011 has challenged the dynastic dictatorship that has ruled Syria for years.
Today, Syria is being torn apart by a civil war that has killed more than 70,000 people and forced more than one million Syrians to flee the country. The conflict threatens to spill across borders to destabilize neighbors in an already turbulent Middle East.
The opposition says today marks the second anniversary of the beginning of the uprising.
"Of course, if the revolution was won in the first six months, everything would be easier," Daghestany said, while toying with a necklace decorated with the colors of the Syrian rebel flag.
Daghestany and Abu Marian are two activists who led protests in two different cities at the start of the revolution. Neither of them expected that the uprising would unleash so much bloodshed and carnage.
Since 2011, their lives have taken unexpected turns, even as Syria itself has undergone violent transformation.
Amateur videos from 2011 show Daghestany dressed in a Che Guevara T-shirt with a bandana wrapped around her face, leading small crowds of women chanting for the overthrow of the Syrian government.
For Daghestany, leftist dissident politics were part of her family's DNA.
"I was against the regime before the revolution. My dad was in prison for eight years and I grew up in a family which hated the regime, the father and the son," said Daghestany, referring to Bashar al-Assad, who inherited the presidency from his father, Hafez, who died in 2000.
Abu Mariam came from a more modest background. He was a truck driver who shipped cargo between Aleppo and neighboring Turkey.
I know that the choice now is better than if we didn't have any revolution.
He said he became an opposition leader after security forces threw him in prison.
"They arrested me at a demonstration to honor the martyr Omar al Hawi," Abu Mariam said.
"In the central jail, I met with many Syrian rebels and we started coordinating together. We talked about why my neighborhood, Bustan al Kaser, wasn't participating in the uprising. When I was released I started working with other activists and arranging demonstrations in Bustan al Kaser."
Abu Mariam is featured prominently in activist videos, chanting into a megaphone, at the head of hundreds of flag-waving demonstrators gathered in Aleppo's narrow streets.
The security forces cracked down hard, with waves of arrests, systematic use of torture and repeated use of deadly force. By the summer of 2011, the United Nations was reporting that more than 2,200 people had been killed. A trickle of Syrians refugees had begun fleeing across international borders.
Citing a pattern of widespread, systematic human rights abuses, U.N. Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay said the Damascus regime may have been guilty of "crimes against humanity."
As the death toll mounted, some activists began arming themselves. The rebels referred to themselves collectively as the Free Syrian Army. Their ranks were bolstered by soldiers and officers who defected from the Syrian military and security forces.
After a year of bloody fighting, rebels succeeded in pushing the Syrian military back from many towns and villages, particularly in the north of the country.
With the exception of Aleppo, which is divided between loyalists and insurgents, the government still maintains its hold on Syria's largest cities. It has resorted increasingly to airstrikes, artillery barrages and surface-to-surface missile attacks to reach rebel-held areas where loyalist ground troops no longer operate.
Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Maqda, in an interview last month, said the government will win the war. Al-Maqdad defended the regime's shelling, calling it a reaction to the opposition's violence.
"This is not our option," he said. "This is the option they imposed on us to defend our own people and our own cities. What we are demanding is a stop to all these actions and to come to the table where we discuss all our grievances together."
Meanwhile, the rebels have evolved both militarily and ideologically. They profited from the capture of long stretches of border with neighboring Turkey. Turkey has provided a pipeline for smuggled weapons, ammunition and foreign volunteer fighters.
As the conflict dragged on, hardline Islamist groups have surged to the forefront of the armed rebellion. One group in particular, an Al Qaeda-linked movement labeling itself the Nusra Front, claimed responsibility for devastating car bombs that killed government officials and innocent bystanders in the Syrian capital.
"During the peaceful demonstration days, I was one of the people who did not know who the Nusra Front was," said Abu Mariam. "We had one revolution and one revolutionary flag. But when we started getting weapons, when the Nusra Front came here, divisions started emerging between the people."
Two years in to the revolution, Abu Mariam still lives in his neighborhood of Bustan al Kaser in the divided city of Aleppo. In an increasingly bombed-out city with hardly any electricity or fuel, Abu Mariam and his followers continue to organize protests and struggle to distribute humanitarian assistance to the growing ranks of desperate Syrians.
But it is clear that the truck driver-turned-activist has a hard time recognizing the opposition movement he once embraced.
Twice in four weeks, Abu Mariam said he had been beaten by anti-government rebels.
Last February, fighters from an Islamist court led by the Nusra Front briefly detained Abu Mariam.
"The Sharia Authority of the Nusra Front and other Islamist brigades...accused me of protesting against the caliphate," Abu Mariam said, during a short phone interview after his release last February.
"They flogged me 10 times."
A photo posted by Abu Mariam on Facebook showed his back covered with angry red welts.

Caregiver Support
OncoLink Team
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 7, 2013
It is really hard to take care of my husband, as he is getting sicker. What resources are there for me to help me not get burnout?
AnswerChristina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, responds:
Being a caregiver is at the same time an amazing and exhausting process. Taking stock of your resources is an important first step in knowing what kind of help you may need, as well as a good preparation for how to ask for help.
By taking stock, I mean looking at the day-to-day activities and appointments that need to be completed; everything from getting out of bed and dressed in the morning, to driving to appointments, to paying bills, to food shopping. Figure out what tasks are you able to farm out to others that are willing to help. Get out a calendar and plan who is bringing meals on specific nights and when appointments for treatments, doctor visits, or scans occur. This will enable you to visualize what the week may look like and what gaps need to be filled.
But above all, it important to feel comfortable with asking for and receiving help, as well as understanding that by asking for help, you are not burdening others. Our other friends, family and support persons want to know what they can do, and if we are able to give them specific tasks it can be helpful to all.
There are also caregiver support groups available and great resources at http://www.caregiver.com/
Good luck! And thank you for all you are doing for your husband.

If you want to state what you think you can put と思います at the end of a sentence. However I noticed that sometimes you're supposed to put だ before と思います so that it becomes だと思います, and sometimes you're not. How do you know when to put だ before と思います and when to leave it out?
Sign up

The と (to) of と思います works like the quotes in English. So the part before と must be a valid sentence.
Don't think of the だ as a part of it. 「だと思う」 is just 「と思う」 stuck to the end of a sentence that happened to end in だ.
The only time you might need to add an extra だ is if you use it as a colloquial-ish stand-alone reply in the same way as 「だね。」 and whatnot.
From Tae Kim's Guide To Japanese @ http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/complete/verb_phrase :
So 「だ」 needs to be added before 「と思う」 if the last word in the clause we want to quote is a noun or na-adjective. Some examples of mine:
If the last word is a verb or an adjective, you skip the 「だ」:
There is one condition where you also skip the 「だ」 before a quotative 「と」, that is if you are quoting a name or a term, for example:
Each time you can write のです then you can write のだ.
Then you can combine this (using と) with a variety of verbs including: 思う、信じる、言える。。。
Here is what should be your thinking process when building a sentence:
As a short explanation, I wrote の = attenuation but this is not completely true. Depending on the context it can be used to emphasize the action that appears before の, to make your point...etc. Most of the time it is used in sentences like:
You can also use だと思います if there is a noun or anything that is not a verb before.
きれい is a な-Adjective and not a い-Adjective.
Therefore, it should be: きれいだと思います。

Sandwiched Between Kids & Parents
By Rebecca Teti
Weekends: Changing Roles -- the needs of the sandwich generation
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Our weekend forum is for issues related to "the sandwich generation." Coping with menopause, caring for aging parents, relations with adult children, grandchildren, going back to work after years at home. Want to hash out a difficulty, get some advice or share a strategy?
This is the place! Come join the conversation!
Just wanted to put something cheerful on here today. I hurt myself at work yesterday and my Mom and Dad came to pick me up. My Dad drove my Jeep to their house and my husband came to rescue me shortly after. As old as we are, (I'm 53) we sometimes rely on Mom and Dad to help us. My kindergarten class was so funny when I told them my Mom and Dad were coming to pick me up. And they all wanted a hug and kiss before I left. Have a great Saturday everyone!
That is just so cute! I can imagine all the little faces with big wide eyes after you told them who was picking you up! Thanks for sharing.

The question likely says it all, but, in the treasure room in the Sanctuary is a key up high. As you gather money, the pile grows and you can climb on it. I'm wondering exactly how much gold you are required to accumulate to be able to reach the key. I assume the key opens the chest in the same room at the bottom of the pile.
I believe the number is 5 Million. But here is the thing. Once you have that much the chest will be covered in gold and inaccessible.
To get rid of it all you have to give your money to the royal treasury which you can do if you are the king. If you aren't there yet keep playing.
The number is exactly 5 million. The key will appear to disappear when you reach this amount, but it is not treated as a regular gold key you can pick up and store. When the key has disappeared, this means you can successfully open the chest if you get rid of all of your money.
You don't have to get rid of all of it to access the chest, but I think anything over 100,000 in your personal stash renders it unobtainable.

Global Sales of iPhone 5 Kick Off With Crowds
Huge lines welcomed Apple Inc. AAPL -0.12 % 's latest iPhone at stores Friday in the U.S. and eight other countries, despite a widening controversy over the handset's mapping features.
In what has become a common sight at its product launches, Apple fans waiting in lines cheered as the company's stores threw open their doors. Employees assembled and applauded the first customers walking in to purchase the company's new iPhone 5.
Some resellers—including Sprint Nextel Corp., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Best Buy Co.—warned of short supplies of the new iPhones. But Apple's own outlets appeared to be keeping up with demand.

Apple Fever
The new iPhone 5 goes on sale in the U.S. Friday. From new products to new stores, see past incidences of Apple fever.
Gadgets Exposed
Take a look at Wall Street Journal graphics that disassembled smartphones and tablets, studying their features and component costs, and compare the devices.
The iPhone has powered Apple to become the world's largest company by value, and the newest version is seen as critical to the company's continued success. The iPhone 5 features a larger screen, faster networking capabilities, a more powerful processor and an updated operating system, which includes new mapping software that replaces the popular Google Maps.
The new maps, however, were at the heart of a customer backlash that began Wednesday after Apple released the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 6, which contained the new mapping software. Within hours, customers had formed groups on the Internet demanding Apple return to using Google Maps, noting that despite new functionality, such as turn-by-turn voice-guided navigation, the mapping app also had many flaws, including outdated information and missing landmarks.
Sean Pan, 41, who was waiting in line in San Francisco, said he was concerned about the new maps, particularly because he was visiting the city from Chicago on business. But, he said, he chose to stick with Apple's devices after he had tried a tablet device running the Android mobile operating system. He ended up returning it after a week because it didn't connect well with his family's Apple products.
"I tried moving away from Apple, but I keep getting sucked back in because the devices work well together," he said.
Customers began preordering the iPhone 5 last week, with 2 million units sold within the first day. The phone first became available in stores Friday morning, with openings at 8 a.m. local time kicking off a global rollout that began in Australia and Asia and then hit Europe before arriving in the U.S. and Canada.
At an Apple store in downtown San Francisco, customers lined the length of one and a half city blocks. In front was 24-year-old Charlie Hufnagel, who was hired to wait in line for $1,500 through a website called TaskRabbit, where customers can hire the company's contractors to run errands like pick up groceries or deliver a singing telegram.
Mr. Hufnagel purchased an iPhone 5 for himself with his proceeds, in part because he cracked the screen on his iPhone 4 after he initially got in line on Monday. "I feel like it's a sign," he said.
In New York, some customers at Apple's Fifth Avenue store were going back in line after buying the two handsets allotted per person, saying they wanted more for friends and family.
Meanwhile, lines were shorter at the stores of the phone's U.S. wireless carriers in both midtown Manhattan and in San Francisco, where only a couple dozen waited. Despite the smaller crowds, there are concerns about the number of new iPhones available at the carrier stores.
A Sprint Nextel spokeswoman said the inventory of new iPhones at the majority of Sprint-branded retail stores across the U.S. "are seriously constrained or sold out." Verizon Wireless had previously said that iPhones remained available at its stores nationwide, but it isn't providing additional comments on its inventory, a spokeswoman said. AT&T declined to comment.
A Wal-Mart spokesman said that the iPhone 5 remained available in select stores but, due to short supply, the company would not be able to fulfill all of its preorder reservations on time.
Best Buy said it sent out emails to any customers who had preordered iPhones that wouldn't be available at the store they had designated Friday, noting in some cases that it had not received enough of specific models. The company also said that it told customers a preorder wasn't a guarantee of a reserved device on launch day, but it would fulfill orders over time.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on supply issues.
Brian Marshall, an analyst at ISI Group, said he expects between five million to eight million iPhones to be sold over this first weekend, with total sales limited mainly by supply constraints. The bottleneck in producing the iPhone is its screen, he added, and though he expects Apple to focus its supplies on its own Apple Store shops, he expects the entry-level iPhone models to sell out quickly and potentially remain hard to find throughout the holidays.
Meanwhile, investors also have been excited by the new phone, pushing shares of the Cupertino, Calif., company to all-time highs this week. The stock recently rose $3.30 to $702, valuing the company at about $660 billion.
The product also attracted criminals. In one store just outside London, in Colliers Wood, U.K., police said about 250 smartphones were stolen. The cache of devices, including the iPhone 5, were pinched from an outlet for O2, which is owned by Spain's Telefonica SA early in the morning, the local police said. The police said the alleged thief was a store employee.
"A quantity of cash was also stolen from the safe," a police statement added.
Burglars also struck three stores across Japan's western metropolis of Osaka prefecture, taking roughly 200 iPhones. Both the thieves and devices remain at large, police said.
In Australia, some customers waited as long as 68 hours to purchase their iPhone 5. Enthusiasm among fans was so high that online betting site Sportsbet.com.au was taking bets for how long the line in Sydney would be and what would be the most popular apps downloaded.
Todd Foot, representative of mobilephonefinder.com.au, claimed to be the first person in the world to purchase an iPhone 5 Friday morning, after waiting in line since Tuesday. He said he had already detected flaws with mapping features in the iOS 6 mobile operating system that comes with the phone.
More Video
"Apparently it's not 100% accurate, in fact the shop across the road here is the Darrell Lea store and that's actually listed as the Apple Store at the moment, through their own maps software, so it's a bit of a joke going around," Mr. Foot said.
An Apple spokeswoman said Thursday that the mapping software would get better as more people use it, adding that the company is working hard to make the customer experience "even better."
After Australia, the iPhone hit stores in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, France, Germany and the U.K., finishing in the U.S. and Canada. In Paris, customers queuing outside the flagship store were joined by a French union calling for better pay and working conditions for Apple employees. Workers distributed fliers saying they're demanding a bonus of a month's pay, as well as cleaner toilets and better air conditioning. "Apple is neglecting us, even as it cares for its brand," Mr. Bordage said.
Officials at Apple didn't return calls and emails seeking comment on the dispute.
Sylvain Gautier, one of the first customers in line in Paris, said Apple should negotiate with the workers. But those concerns didn't stop Mr. Gautier from waiting 26 hours to buy two new iPhones. "I wanted to be the first Parisian," he said, as he walked out of the store amid cheers and chants.
The scene outside some Apple stores had a carnival-like feel. In Japan, some of those who waited were dressed in homemade gear, such as sandwich boards fashioned to look like Phones.
Adjacent to the Apple store in Canada, the home of BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion Ltd., a sign in the window of Canadian yoga gear purveyor Lululemon Athletica Inc. poked fun at those standing in line, reading: "iRun. iYoga. iWait."
At downtown Toronto's Eaton Centre mall, a subdued and relatively small line of shoppers waiting for the new iPhone were offered pastries and Tim Horton's coffee.
Just before 8 am, Apple store employees ran through the mall in an effort to build excitement, whooping and high-fiving those waiting in line. A number of television cameras huddled around the store entrance, and curious onlookers snapped pictures. "This beats the lockout any day, eh?" said one bystander, referring to the current stalled negotiations that threaten to delay the start of the National Hockey League's season, which have dominated local headlines.
Apple is charging $199 for the entry-level iPhone 5 if customers sign up for a new two-year contract with their carriers. Prices are similar in other markets around the world. Apple said it is rolling the iPhone out more quickly than in the past and the device would be available in 100 countries by the end of the year.

Sales Kick Off
The new iPhone comes amid heightened competition from new phones that are powered by Google Inc.'s Android software and Microsoft Corp.'s Windows system. Among specific handsets, Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy devices have become the biggest challenger to Apple's products.
Kevin Tse, a 26-year-old working for an advertising company, bought an iPhone 5 for himself and one for his girlfriend in Hong Kong. A few months ago, Mr. Tse bought Samsung's flagship Galaxy S III smartphone, but decided to buy the iPhone 5 because he was attracted by the changes made to the new model.
He took out his Galaxy S III from his pocket and said "I will see which one is the better phone."

ExtJS4 - CellEditing - dirty flag on not changed numbers
I'm using Ext.grid.plugin.CellEditing for editing cells.
The problem is when the data type of a cell is number, after clicking the cell to editing mode, but nothing changing, the cell is marked by red triangle as dirty. This does not happen for string types.
The input in the grid row is json e.g.:

Classics is the study of ancient Greece and Rome - among the world's most exciting, important, and influential civilizations. The program in classics embraces the many aspects of the Greek and Roman world - including the Greek and Latin languages, mythology, archaeology, history, and philosophy - from prehistory to the late Roman Empire and early Christianity. For students who pursue a major or minor, classics provides a solid liberal arts education that will be useful in many careers and vital to the development of their full human capacity. For students in other disciplines, classics offers a valuable opportunity to investigate the works and traditions that have provided much of the background of their own chosen fields. Many find that working with the classical languages improves their skills as readers and writers.
The Department of Classics offers a complete preparation for students seeking a wide range of post-graduate and career opportunities. Yet it remains small enough to allow our faculty to get to know all of our students individually and to work with them closely. Classics students:
"We can't overestimate the value of a classics major."

I was recently reading the explanation for the behaviour of a siphon on Wikipedia, which uses Bernoulli's equation in its proof. The argument is generally pretty easy to follow, except for one key point: how can we assume that the velocity of the water is constant at all points throughout its flow through the tube? This tacit assumption is made at various point, not least in the terming of "the siphon velocity" (implying there's only one). I would be grateful if someone could clarify this.
Note: I've done a hefty amount of classical mechanics in my time, but barely any fluid mechanics I'm afraid. First principles explanations would be appreciated.

The 6 Most Pathetic Attempts to Get Super Bowl Tickets
#3. Willing to Trade "Hugh" Stone Ring
On the surface, this Craigslist ad seems plausible enough. A man wants to trade a hideously ugly diamond ring for two Super Bowl tickets.
Among the features listed are a total diamond weight of 3.21 carats (to quote the ad, the stones are "HUGH") and a vow that "YOU ARE NOT SAFE ON ANY STREETS WITH THIS RING ON...:)." That's probably true, provided you're also wearing a lime green suit and drinking from a bejeweled chalice. Trust us, the police frown upon outdoor pimpin'. It's safer to do that in private.
Man, that ring would look perfect right here. Chuuuch!
But something about the promise that the ring comes with an authentic appraisal, valuing it at $5,600, raises one important question: Why not just sell the fucking ring?
Sure, there is a slight chance that somewhere out there, some enterprising Super Bowl ticket seller is looking to unload their bounty on that special someone who can provide them with the perfect piece of jewelry to complete their Slick Rick starter set.
It's like they say: If Roy Horn found another gay tiger-tamer to love him, anything is possible. And yes, someone does say that, look it up. But anyway, why wait around for magic like that to happen? Most people selling Super Bowl tickets are asking for cash in return. If the ring is worth that much scratch, pawn that bitch and have a blast in Tampa!
But things get even more suspect later on in the ad when the ring owner states that "SCAMMERS AND CON ARTIST WELCOMED....:)." We're not quite sure what to make of that, but we have a feeling the final transaction will involve a plastic ring from a Lil Jon Halloween costume being exchanged for a slip of paper that says "SUPER BOLL TIKETS" in crayon.
#2. Got Tickets? Destroy My Car!
Man, Super Bowl XLI (featuring the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears) really brought out the best in people. That's the game the "paint my unborn child" lady was trying to get into, and this is the second of three entries on this list from desperate fans trying to get into what was destined to be a mediocre game (was it because of Prince?).
It's no coincidence that, if we had tickets, we probably would have given in on all three.
This one comes from a Canadian guy who was willing to destroy his Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra in exchange for tickets. We know what you're thinking, and surprisingly, the answer is yes. They do have cars in Canada. Who knew?
Downtown Toronto.
The other thing you're thinking is what in the hell a ticket-holder would have to gain from watching this sad man destroy his own shitty car, unless you had some kind of weirdly specific sexual fetish for that kind of thing.
Well, according to the article, the guy also offered to let whoever provided the tickets destroy the car themselves, if they chose to. Now that's a barter we could get behind. Sure, it would be much cheaper to just go out and buy your own shitty Cutlass to destroy, but then, you're not destroying some other dude's car. That's way more satisfying--as the legions of crazy ex-girlfriends in the world can attest.
The only catch is you'd better ask for plenty of documentation of ownership, as it seems like there's a pretty good chance you're going to be taking a sledgehammer to this guy's neighbor's car.
#1. Woman Auctions Herself
In what has to be the most wildly successful Super Bowl ticket scheme of all time, a Los Angeles area Bears fan named Sarah Spain posted an Ebay ad offering to be some lucky fan's date to Super Bowl XLI.
She already had airfare and a place to stay, she just needed a dude misguided enough to think that coughing up a ticket would lead to anything other than a female filling the seat next to him, and filling the game with long, awkward silences.
"I sure am looking forward to not having sex with you."
At one point, the bidding reached an obviously not serious $99 million. And that's when Axe Body Spray stepped in. Rather than have a hot chick see even one dream go unfulfilled, God forbid, they gave Sarah four end zone tickets to the game. One for her, two for her friends and one for a guy she would choose as part of a contest they would run.
In the end, some dude named Alan Shahtaji emerged victorious. According to Sarah, when asked if he would miss any of the game to get her and her two friends beer, he replied that he absolutely would not. This, apparently, was what put him over the top. Chicks truly do dig assholes.
Since her time as an Axe Bodyspray promotion, Sarah has gone on to a gig with mouthpiecesports.com and has been featured in a commercial with Bears kick returner/wide receiver Devin Hester.
We're not saying that being a hot chick is like winning the lottery every week. We're just saying keep this story in mind when Rent-A-Center confiscates your 52" LCD due to nonpayment. We're guessing no feminine body spray manufacturers are going to come riding to your rescue.

Is there any fictional world (e.g. Middle-earth, Discworld etc.) which could be used in a GIS context?

For middle-earth there is a community doing this kind of stuff: http://www.me-dem.org/
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
This is not quite a fictional world, but a nice use of GIS technology nonetheless.
There's a fabulous XKCD comic featuring a highly detailed illustration, which is a bit tiresome to click and drag in the tiny window provided.
Florian Wesch georeferenced the whole cartoon and has provided it in a Leaflet map at http://xkcd-map.rent-a-geek.de
There is an interactive Google Maps of Middle Earth. Talked about in this article http://geoawesomeness.com/middle-earth-digital-elevation-model-mapping-lord-rings/
Then here's the interactive map http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/map
Music included.
It looks like you can download the DEM for Middle Earth here http://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=1491.0
The dataset is 1.1 GB
This is from the forum.outerra website
Im not sure I understand your question. But it made me think of this fictitious islands and time periods (well maybe not so fictitious time periods) metal map created by Patrick Galbraith
Safe software has done some work with minecraft (James Fee) and many of the 3d datatypes.
You can look at OpenGeoFiction, they use OpenStreetMap tools to make fictional maps.
Any image is also possible. You just need to use image overlay component with a raw image or tiled images with Zoomify. Instead of projection unit, you simply use pixels.
Leaflet, OpenLayers 2 & 3 support all this cases in native (except Leaflet that need a plugin for Zoomify)
You could follow up the steampunk world described in How do I specify a CRS for a fictional game map in QGIS?.
I'm not sure whatever happened to it, but it'd be interesting to see how the chap got on.
I doubt the data is readily available but since you specifically mention Discworld, there is an iOS app for the map of Ankh-Morpork which would have in in-game coordinate system and could thus be projected.
The Disc would be particularly difficult to map as you would have to write an entire spatial reference specifically for it that instead of a spheroid used a cylinder. Unless you want to consider the Disc as pancake shaped in which case converting the math so its just a smashed sphere might be easier (with The Hub being a feature on the surface not part of it, that math would be horrible). All coordinates would be polar. Most fantasy doesn't get into the details of the physical geodesy of world(s) involved so projection is not easy. Sci-fi would be more likely to be a genre with that sort of data but I don't know of anyone creating datasets for any works. I would gladly help with a Discworld project though.

I often think about the phase space with quite deep interpretations. For example, contraction of phase space means losing energy. But, some of the energy is easily restored (free energy?) while some other is hard to restore (enthalpy, internal energy). This is like dividing the phase space to flexible and rough?
Are my insights correct or maybe they can be easily extended more?
Are there any books with such interpretation-like approach to phase space and dynamical systems?

If I have an application that is using a less secure method for storing passwords, such as SHA-1, how would I go about converting to SHA-256 or SHA-512?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You mean something like a web application that is storing hashes rather than password for login? You won't be able to convert the SHA-1 hashes to anything else very easily.
You could store the new SHA value in your database as users log in, updating each user as they present their correct password, either making a marker in the users table as to what kind of hash their password is stored as, or just trying them in a preferred sequence. New login would look something like this:
Simply update your table to indicate which encryption method is used and force users to change their password after next login. They can even reuse the existing password, but then you can indicate in your table which method the password has was created with.
(Expanding upon what Collin and MainMa wrote..) Add a column to the table for the SHA-512 hashes. During the login process, see whether the SHA-1 or SHA-512 field is populated for the user. Validate using that field. If the field is SHA-1 instead of 512, display some screen describing "new security features" and ask them to input the same or a new password. Store this hashed password in the SHA-512 column and remove the SHA-1 value. Keep this logic until all users are using SHA-512.

PERRY, Kan. -- America has always been a place of humanitarian action and compassion: A place where people take care of each other whether they are down the block or around the globe. Putting compassion into action is deeply rooted in the American character and the people in Jefferson County are no exception.
Join the American Red Cross for an Open Volunteer Meeting Monday, September 24 at 5:30pm at First State Bank and Trust, 402 Plaza Drive, Perry, KS, to learn more information about volunteering with the American Red Cross. New and current volunteers are both invited to attend this informational meeting and ask questions.
"Although recent hurricanes like Issac make the headlines, many people forget that the day-to-day work of the Red Cross takes place in communities like ours, and is made possible by 'hometown heroes' who volunteer their time," says Deb Tucker, Regional Volunteer Coordinator of the Kansas Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. "Our chapter typically responds to 2-3 house fires every week, and we need volunteers to assist when our neighbors are in need."
Local volunteers spend hours each year to help local families when disaster strikes; teach their neighbors lifesaving skills such as first aid, CPR and water safety; help local military families communicate during emergencies; and much more.
To learn more, contact Deb Tucker at 785-230-2333 or email email@example.com
About the American Red Cross:
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

I attempted a similar challenge with Dosthill Colts. I am going to attempt to make IK Tord the best team in Europe using only youth products. They are based in the Sweden Second Division East Gotaland. I chose them because they are predicted bottom of the league and I like the name (by like I mean it's one of the few Swedish teams I can spell correctly without having to check every time )
What wikipedia says about them:
IK Tord is a Swedish football club located in Rosenlund in Jönköping. The club was formed on the 10th September 10, 1919 and has specialised in football and baseball.
Since their foundation IK Tord has participated mainly in the middle divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club currently plays in Division 2 Östra Götaland which is the fourth tier of Swedish football. They play their home matches at the Stadsparksvallen in Rosenlund (Jönköping) while other club operations take place at Rosenlunds IP.
At the moment Sweden are 24th in the European rankings which means 1 team enters the 1st qualifying round of the Champions League and 3 enter the Euro Cup, 1 team at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd qualifying rounds.
The Swedish Second Division runs from March to September, there are 22 games (play each other twice). Top team is promoted while bottom two are relegated, 3rd bottom goes into a playoff.
The transfer windows are from 1st July - 31st July and 15th November - 31st March
League reset date - 1st December
Here is my youtube channel, I will be uploading the odd goal depending on quality and/or the occasion. There are already few goals on there from my games on the demo as Chelsea and Hampton & Richmond.

FORT HOOD (January 24, 2013)—Col. Tara Osborn, the new judge presiding over the case of accused Fort Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan, will decide next week whether to spare Hasan the death penalty by allowing him to plead guilty.
Osborn will decide whether to remove execution as a punishment option for the Army psychiatrist charged in the November 2009 rampage at the post's Soldier Readiness Center.
Osborn has scheduled pretrial hearings for next Wednesday through Friday.
Defense attorneys say Hasan wants to plead guilty to 13 counts of premeditated murder, but Army rules prohibit a judge from accepting a guilty plea in a death penalty case.
Hasan also is charged with 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the attack on the Texas Army post.
He currently faces execution or life in military prison without parole if convicted.
A date for his court-martial has not been set.

The officials from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Justice Department and 10 state attorneys general met with representatives of 14 largest mortgagers of the U.S. and reached a settlement to compensate house owners who incurred losses due to faulty foreclosures.
This is the first set of sanctions against these institutions.
Regulators trying for a global settlement
The present settlement can help the Justice Department in ascertaining the magnitude of fines to be imposed on these institutions, Tom Perrellli, associate attorney general, involved in the negotiations, expressed hope.
"This has been a very broad interagency effort. The best possible resolution for consumers, for all government entities, is a fully coordinated resolution," said Perrelli.
The banks which included Wells Fargo & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co, have agreed to conduct a re-evaluation of all loans that went into foreclosure in the years, 2009 and 2010.
These institutions also agreed to improve procedures for foreclosure and refinancing procedures and agreed to hire extra staff and upgrade the document tracking systems.
The servicers also agreed to end the dual track foreclosure procedure in which they seized the homes of delinquent borrowers even as the negotiations for the lower mortgage payments.
More penalties to come
Thomas J. Miller, Iowa attorney general said that today's settlement does not limit his pursuit of further penalties on these institutions. He is leading the talks on behalf of the attorney generals.
Miller said in a statement that this settlement "will not limit our pursuit of remedies and reforms. We will continue our efforts to ensure that the nation's servicing and foreclosure system is fair to homeowners, banks and investors."
The regulators also said that the settlement does not prevent them from issuing fines on these institutions later.
John Walsh, acting Comptroller of Currency, told the reporters in a press conference, "There will be civil money penalties. The issue is time and money."
The Federal Reserve also said in a statement that it is planning to impose fines which according to it were "appropriate."
Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan, Jamie Dimon, announced during a conference call that the bank has already hired 3000 more employees and taken a charge of $1.1 billion to fulfil the terms of the consent decree.
The agreement has drawn criticism from those who expressed fear that it could weaken the broader negotiations.
Rep Maxine Waters, a member of Financial Services Committee said in a statement, "I fear that these consent orders are merely an attempt to do an end-run around our state attorneys general."

Zelda Williams to appear at E3 for something "special," but it's "not what you think"Written by: / / No Comments
Zelda Williams, daughter of actor Robin Williams and named after the princess in Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series, recently piped up on Twitter hinting at something she'll be doing during E3 2014 next month.
Williams wrote:
Who's going to E3? I'll be doing something extra special there. More details soon!
— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) May 28, 2014
Nintendo fans' minds would of course collectively go racing towards the expected announcement of a new Zelda game for the Wii U, but Williams was quick to point out to at least one fan that her appearance is 'guaranteed' to be not what we're thinking, writing:
I'm going to guarantee you, it's not what you think… RT @SteveMightSay GEEZ I WONDER WHAT IT IS
— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) May 28, 2014
Hmm… So what could it be, then? Let us know if you have an idea.
Zelda Williams' affiliation with Nintendo goes back to an advertisement she and father Robin Williams did around the time of the release of Ocarina of Time 3D for the 3DS. Williams hasn't taken part in any promotional work for Nintendo since then (that we're aware of), so perhaps she will reprise her role as a cheerleader for nostalgia surround Zelda games? A 3DS port of Majora's Mask, perhaps?

Detox Diaries: My One-Day Detox
A McDonald's-eating detox-newbie goes on her first cleanse. Can she do it? Will she change her fast food-eating ways? Find out
Yeah, well, I'm that girl.
What can I say, I've been blessed with good genes and a fast metabolism that allows me to have a second (or third) helping of dessert without ever stepping foot in a gym. As if you aren't hating me enough right now, here's some more fodder for your envy: I consume caffeine around the clock, have McDonald's for breakfast on most days, and I usually eat a microwaveable burrito for lunch. Oh, and I've never been on a "diet," let alone a detox diet.
OK, before you start to conjure up thoughts of stoning me, let me tell you that my unhealthy ways were starting to catch up with me (no shocker, I realize). My stomach often hurt; I was always bloated; my memory was becoming fuzzy; I woke up with headaches every morning; and no matter how many hours of shut-eye I got, I still was dependent on multiple coffee runs to get through my day. So it was great timing when my editor gave me this assignment: Go on a detox diet and write about your experience. I was assigned to "The Fast Track Detox Diet" by Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, which consists of 10 days of restricted eating and a one-day juice fast.
While I silently cursed my editor in the weeks leading up to my detox diet, I was intrigued by the health and beauty benefits it dangled in front of me. Glowing skin, a stronger liver, and no midday energy crash were just a few of the promises. Curious about how I did and whether it worked? Keep reading.

REALLY loving this! I used to be a caffeine addict, but I switched to water in the school where I teach because it has no A/C and is hot year 'round (the heating is very intense and dry in the winter). I realized that I became "addicted" to water and can't really handle caffeine the way I used to; I like that.

That is so terrifying, but your detox is probably the only one I've read so far that I feel capable of doing.
