Steve Jobs Personally Resolves Customer Complaint 341
from the steve-jobs-my-dishes-need-to-be-washed dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
According to "Consumer Reports", Apple has the best customer service of ALL the PC and laptop makers and their quality also beats everyone. If you look at their charts, Apple takes the lead by a wide margin, none of this jazz of they're 8.2 while the closest competitor is 8.1. (Unfortunately, I don't have the issue in front of me to give you guys the real number numbers to show how well Apple rates.)
Now, here's the best, and they're pulling this horseshit!?
Stopping now because I need more coffee.
and..."I am also an IT Manager for one of the labs at MIT"
"...your company will lose
... my purchase recommendations to graduate students, professors, and support staff at MIT"
I also heard a story about the CEO of Virgin Atlantic (charles bronson?? or was he an actor, God I have bad memory for names) traveling with the public or playing the role of a flight attendent/steward and listen to customers. One Indian guy had ordered vegetarian meals and it was not available. Charles was playing steward on that flight. He made an unscheduled landing at a nearby airport and rented a limo to take the passenger to an expensive Indian joint and flew him first class to complete the journey.
Thats Richard Branson. He does that kind of thing because it gets in the news and it is much cheaper than paying for advertising. He is a similar kind of charismatic leader, though.
One famous manager (I don't remember who exactly though) once said, that if the company's leader performs mere employee's duties then either he does not understand his role or there is something terribly wrong with the way the company operates.
Dunno about that. I lead a small team of engineers who do internal toolchain support for several of our sites. Most of my job involves allocating tasks and taking care of planing, etc. But every now and again I take a job off the queue and do it myself because (1) it keeps the guy who would otherwise have done it on their toes, to have me messing with "their" stuff and (2) I get a better picture of what is really happening out in the real world.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Jobs occasionally takes charge of a fault call. Probably a healthy thing to do.
One famous manager (I don't remember who exactly though) once said, that if the company's leader performs mere employee's duties then either he does not understand his role or there is something terribly wrong with the way the company operates.
Personally, I find that line of thinking very elitist and in the end self-destructive. Managers who look upon their employees as "mere employees" will not be able to get the most out of those employees. I believe that true management is serving those under you to enable them to do their best.
Regardless, there is a certain point to that statement. The key here is not what Steve Jobs did but what changes will occur in the company to see that he doesn't have to do this again. It is all well and good that he is able to provide good support, but if all of the other support employees fail, it could eventually sink the company.
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

"Quartet, Book 4"
Easy listen. No need to rewind if you get distrated since the plot was simple and easy to follow.
"Great quick listen"
It seems like it was definately missing a plot. I listen to all four books and the plots were a litttle boring.
"Pretty good"
Good story but not one of Nora Robert's best. It does keep you listening though!!
"No candy coating"
I think this book is great! Even if you don't plan on taking a total money makeover, it will make you think about some of the financial decisions you make

I decided to get a sample of this after hearing many rave reviews and I was very disappointed when this didn't work for me. I do like the consistency of this foundation but the coverage was just "okay" for me. I understand that it's not supposed to be heavy coverage but it didn't even feel like medium coverage for me. I felt like I could find something similar for much cheaper. Another con is that for the price, there seems to be no applicator on the bottle. For that much money, NARS can opt to include a pump at the least. Also, the finish of this foundation simply did not work for me. I do tend to have pretty oily skin but primers & oil absorbing powders help me out a lot. And generally in the winter, my skin is not nearly as oily. I use MAC's Studio Sculpt foundation with no problems in the winter. But this foundation made me look like an oil slick which really surprised me. I just looked too shiny for my liking. The color selection is nice but the biggest reason I will not be repurchasing is because it made me break out. The only other foundation to ever break me out was Bare Minerals original formula because of that one ingredient so I was very surprised that Sheer Glow made me break out - especially if I can use MAC's foundations with no problems. In any case, this seems to work well for a lot of people but I warn everyone to obtain a sample first to try out before splurging on the bottle. For reference I am an NW35 and used the color "Barcelona."

I have been using this for couple months. The texture of this foundation is very nice. It gives you a nice glow and it is not heavy at all. However, I have stopped using it due to the color. I've bought Fiji, but it is too yellowish on me (I'm asian with a light to medium skin tone). Gobi is too white, Deauville is too pink, and Ceylan is too dark for me. I like the texture and finish of this foundation, but I just cannot find a color that matches my skin tone.

I have been using this now for a few months. I loved the glow it gives and the coverage is just enough not to look to heavy. i use retin a to get rid of all the acne so i tend to have dry skin. i found the foundation didnt work well with the dry skin and at times i felt it looked very powdery and sank into fine lines. overall a good foundation but probably suit oily skin more. perfer the chanel pro lumier for the dewy finish.

EDITED: After initially writing this review, I have found that if I apply the foundation with anything BUT my fingers, it smears and smudges all day. I had two friends comment on my foundation and (quite honestly) tell me that it looked like it was just SMEARING. And I have dry, dehydrated skin. I shelved this product for a couple months, vowing to NEVER touch it again since it decided to stop working with my skin. However, one day I saw pixi2woo on youtube say it applied beautifully with the fingers. So I used a bit of the new L'Oreal Studio Secrets Primer (in the pot, the clear one) on well-moisturized skin, then rubbed this in with clean finger tips, making sure to blend it in very well. VOILA. It looked amazing all day. I have also found that setting it with Guerlain Mythic Meteorites is the only powder that works with this. My previous method worked at first, but then it began to look terrible. My advice? Try applying this with your fingers. Normally, I HATE applying foundations with my fingers since I have five foundation brushes, but this foundation, in my opinion, works best when blended well with fingers.
I'm on my second repurchase of this, and behind MUFE HD, it is my second favorite foundation. Although the name implies a dewy finish, I actually find that this is a "satin" or "natural" finish. It's neither matte nor dewy and looks incredibly natural. The word "Sheer" is also misleading, this is a definite medium coverage foundation. I apply with the Sephora 55 brush, using either Dior Skinflash Primer or Giorgio Armani Master Light Fluid Primer as a priming base. I've set this foundation with MAC MSFN, MUFE Duo Mat, and Guerlain Mythic Meteorites all to great success. However, I prefer the meteorites for this specific foundation. Every time I wear this, I get compliments on my skin. I'm a match to MUFE HD 110 (PPP with slight pink undertones) and wear NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia, which is a big lighter than 110, and less pink, but I think it matches my neck better anyways. So why do I slightly prefer MUFE HD? Although Siberia matches me SLIGHTLY better, I think MUFE HD lasts longer. NARS Sheer Glow has a tendency to slip around on me a little bit, and I have dry skin! I may trying using it without a primer (I tend to use moisturizing primers), or with a less emollient moisturizer to see if that helps. However, this is the only flaw I have found with this and will update if I find an improvement in my routine that makes this last longer! All in all, this is an amazing foundation that provides a natural finish. I would definitely recommend!

I was scared to use this, since I don't want anything resembling a shine on my face. I have combo skin that can get very oily as the day goes on. I tried the Sheer Matte with a beauty blender and I found that it is wayyyyy too time consuming for me in the am. It definitely keeps your skin matte all day but it is somewhat drying and difficult to work with. My skin is too dry in the am and too oily at night. If anything, I loved the little extra moisture the Sheer Glow gave me. Kept my oil glands from working overtime to compensate for morning dryness.
I LOVE SHEER GLOW. I have it in Ceylan and at first I thought it was a little yellow, but after it sets, it looks great. A little goes a very long way! I haven't tried to build the coverage. IMO I think that would ruin the intended finish. I bought Punjab for the Sheer Matte. The Sheer Glow foundations are slightly darker than the Sheer Matte's so you definitely have to be careful. It is best to try them out in a few different lights (store lighting vs. natural lighting). The Sheer Glow doesn't look or feel like I am wearing anything. Honestly, at the end of my work day (9am-6pm) I do see some shine, but that's just my oily skin building up throughout the day. I have somewhat better results shine-wise with the Sheer Matte, but not enough that I would stick with it every morning. Besides, at the end of the day, I can definitely do a blot or two and it works fine. The Sheer Glow stays in place. My routine in the am: moisturize well, apply Lorac aquaPRIME, apply Clinique Pore Minimizer Tzone Shine Control (my oily skin HG) and THEN the Sheer Glow. The aquaPRIME is a water-based primer. Since Sheer Glow is a water-based foundation, they work really well together. It probably seems like a lot of stuff to be putting on your skin in the morning but my skin gets really oily throughout the day, UNLESS I use these products. With this stuff, my skin doesn't start getting oily until about 3 or 4.
The packaging is HORRIFIC. I always dump too much out onto my hand. They definitely have a pump now but I didn't know that when I picked this up at Sephora and no one there offered me the option.
I absolutely HATE liquid foundation, I've never found one that I liked. But Sheer Glow has completely changed my everyday look and my morning makeup routine. I apply it with a kabuki brush and buff it into my skin. Super super easy, super blendable, super fast. The best part about it is it's ability to make your skin look fantastic in any light. I work in an office with big windows in LA, so sometimes I'm under those awful flourescent lights and sometimes I'm in a huge conference room with tons of bright, natural sunlight. This foundation doesn't discriminate with lighting, it looks flawless consistently. I still use my Cargo concealer (HG) with this for undereye circles and blemishes, because it is light-medium coverage foundation. Also, no breakouts so far and I've been using this for two weeks!
Never tried Sheer Glow at night. If I go out, it's usually to a club and I don't think this stuff would hold up very well with any sweat or too much moisture like that. It may, but I'm still getting over my liquid foundation phobia and I feel safer not using it. I still use my Clinique Pore Perfector primer (the darker shade) and my Bare Minerals Matte foundation for nights out.
Bottom line, dont let the "Glow" name turn you off, oily girls. It turned me off and I'm definitely sorry it took me so long to try it. I feel like it is the only liquid foundation I will ever need!

Okay let me just start by saying I live in Canada, that means at this foundation cost me 55 dollars at Sephora and I would still buy it again! I LOVE this foundation, I don't wear foundation often anymore mostly tinted moisturizers, but when i first tried this with a stippling brush Oh my god I was in love! it made my skin look flawless much but more natural than my lets say colour stay. It has a slight dewy look and it looks amazing it felt so light on my skin and literally after I put it on my mouth dropped. Love this stuff!oh and claims that it improves skin over time doesnt hurt haha

The packaging does have a few well-known downsizes downsides. No pump, that's not really handy. A misleading name: it's not sheer nor particularly glowy, so I didn't really know what finish to expect. A runny formulation, so you need to apply with a brush. But don't let this turn you off!
First time I used it, I applied with a 190 foundation brush on top of my Korres silicone free primer. And it was just OK, nice but not exceptional. I was a bit disappointed.
Then I tried it again without putting a primer underneath, and applying quickly with my 182 kabuki brush (which is the fastest way ever to apply liquid foundation). I still wasn't amazed but by the time I had applied my concealer, I noticed the foundation had set and...Bham! Perfect, flawless skin. I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the mirror.
I added Mac Mineralize Skinfinsh powder on top and left the bathroom satisfied.
Satisfaction turned into happiness when I looked at my reflection again after 8 hours at the office, and my face was close to flawless - which never happens for me after so long.
I decided to be cautious because sometimes I have one or two lucky days with a new foundation and then it doesn't work so good anymore, maybe because my skin adjusts to it and find new ways to bother me.
Well, not this time! I've been wearing it again and again and it looks perfect. And it combines perfectly with my Mac MSF. I don't use any primer and still, not a square inch of my foundation has moved by the end of the day.
I would say the finish is satiny, certainly not matte nor glowy, but it makes my skin look very luminous and brightened. I got the shade Gobi and it is a very good match for me, (I'm NC15, neutral/warm) which is very nice - no hard blending down the neck work. The coverage is definitely medium and I can build it easily on my red areas to get a perfect coverage.
I think Nars Sheer Glow does compare with Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, which I love, but with more coverage and more lasting power. I can already say I'm giving a Holy Grail status to this product!

Works great on evening out skin tone and texture. covers pores immaculately, which i found so surprising bc usually i have to wear primer! got in in ceylan, which matches my light skin great but will want to go a shade or 2 darker in the summer. I recommend not just testing it on your hand bc when i did i thought that ceylan was going to be way too dark but it ended up great. It doesn't dry out my dry skin either!
This is the first time I have used liquid makeup (I was a BE superfan for many years until recently I could tell the quality of the product had cheapened!) but I am extremely happy with it and the coverage. This with a little bit of Laura Mercier mineral powder and a hint of orgasm is the perfect winter skin look!

My color is Punjab and the product is okay. Lasting power is amazing, I didn't need to touch it up. The color matched my skin perfectly, too. The only downside is that after a couple of days of wearing it, my skin had a little break out of small bumps around my chin and cheeks. The formula felt moisturizing on my dry skin and melted right in. I did need to put two coats on, something I've never had to do, to get a medium coverage. I tried applying it with a kabuki brush, my fingers, and a sponge. Fingers work the best IMO. Because of that I won't be buying this again. For the price I can get Dior Skin Nude which is a far better foundation.

I really enjoy this foundation so far. My shade is Siberia which is the lightest Nars offers and it matches my skintone so well. It's hard to find pale foundations that are completely neutral without a pink undertone, but this one looks great on me.
The consistency is quite thin and fluid-like. A lot of people are comparing it to MUFE HD but I find it even a bit thinner than that. I've tried several different brushes to apply it but I think it looks best when blended in with my fingers.
I would say it gives a medium coverage at most. It's enough to even out the skintone and cover redness but I wouldn't use this foundation if I were experiencing a breakout. If you have blemishes, you'll definitely need a concealer.
I love the finish this gives my skin. When the sun hits my face, I just look glowing... not dewy or shiny, just a natural glow that real skin exudes. I don't look powdery or overly matte either. It's just perfect.

4 Configuring Our First Hard Drive For Network-Attached Storage
The caption is a little bit misleading. In fact we want to configure the second partition (the data partition) for NAS, not the whole disk. Please note: You cannot configure the partition for NAS where FreeNAS is installed on! So from the first hard drive we cannot use the first partition because FreeNAS is installed on it.
Go to Disks -> Management and click on the + sign on the right:
On the next page select the ad0 disk (that's where the data partition is on) and select UFS under Preformated FS (during the FreeNAS installation the installer formatted both partitions on the first hard drive with UFS, whereas the second and third hard drive are still unformated):
On the next screen hit Apply changes:
The data partition has now been added to FreeNAS:
To use it, we must mount it. Therefore we go to Disks -> Mount Point and click on the + sign on the right:

I think I have a different version of freenas, but this how-to still rocks. I'm using a Dell PowerEdge 2650, and still have a few kinks to iron out myself, but the software is kickin tail. Thank you, all who contribute to the forge!
I followed the instruction and it worked well except that the article is incomplete. FTP & SCP works. I can't get the SMB portion to work properly. I am seeing the freenas machine and I am able to Map the resource from the Windows side but it keeps asking for my password (obviously not accepting it). No solution were found.
For a windows pc to accept the conection you must use the ip\username format in the user field
for example your freenas ip is: 22.214.171.124 and you have a user : myuser1 then
when asked you should use 188.8.131.52\myuser1 in the username field
that is for windows to know that the user is not local or domain suplied.
that works.
Works WELLL!!!! You own man ! Instaling freenas was just a piece of cake.It was very easy so tank you very much!

Opted for the Cali-Belgique IPA then the Avery/Russian River Collaboration Not Litigation. Both were amazing.
Fantastic food too!
did you take pictures ?
I do love going there, and though I find the food good it's too expensive for what you get. I can never bring myself to drink anything other than Stone when I'm there though...
Maybe we should do a HBT Stone get together?
I'd be up for making that trip.
Damn you west coast people..lol..Although I went to Victory Brewing 2 weeks ago..You basically need to do a weekend there to try all the beers. 22 or so of just their beer on tap and 4 cask conditioned. Every beer that they bottle is on tap and theres some new ones that I guess they experiment with. Storm king imperial stout on cask is amazing. Do you guys get Victory over there?

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Pain Management and Rheumatoid Arthritis
In this article
How Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Affect the Body?
Once the immune system -- the disease fighting center of the body -- is triggered, immune cells migrate from the blood into the joints and produce substances that cause inflammation. The increased number of cells and inflammatory substances within the joint irritate the area and cause cartilage (cushioning material at the end of bones) to wear down and the joint lining (synovium) to swell and produce fluid.
As the cartilage wears down, the space between the bones narrows. If the condition worsens, the bones could rub against each other, causing significant pain.
As the swelling and inflammation worsens, the joint lining may invade or erode into the bone, resulting in irreversible damage to the bone. All of these factors cause the joint to become very painful, swollen, and warm to the touch.
How Is Rheumatoid Arthritis Diagnosed?
The diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is based on a combination of factors, including:
- The specific location and symmetry of painful joints
- The presence of joint stiffness in the morning
- Presence of bumps and nodules under the skin (rheumatoid nodules)
- Results of X-ray tests that suggest rheumatoid arthritis
- Positive results of blood tests called the rheumatoid factor and the anti-CCP antibody
Most, but not all, people with rheumatoid arthritis have one or both antibodies in their blood. The rheumatoid factor may be present in people who do not have rheumatoid arthritis. Other diseases also can cause the rheumatoid factor to be produced in the blood. Therefore, the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is based on a combination of several factors and not just the presence of the rheumatoid factor in the blood.
People with RA may have a mild anemia. Blood tests may also reveal an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), a marker of inflammation.
How Is Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated?
There are many different ways to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Treatments include medications, rest and exercise, and surgery to correct damage to the joint.
The type of treatment will depend on several factors including the person's age, overall health, medical history, and severity of the arthritis.

SaaS and CRM vendors can license and white-label CompanionLink Software's proprietary sync technology for Google® and Office 365™ cloud platforms. CompanionLink has pioneered sync with many modern mobile and cloud APIs. The growing popularity of business cloud frameworks like Google Apps™ service and Office 365 lack the CRM muscle that salespeople in client-facing industries need. CompanionLink's OEM licensing options allow SaaS and desktop-based CRM vendors to connect their client database and calendar appointment scheduling systems with Google Apps and Office 365 back-office systems. Flexible pricing and royalty models allow adapting to both subscription and one-time licensing models offered by modern CRMs. CompanionLink has partnered with over 30 companies to deliver mobile CRM integration over the past 15 years.

"Companies looking for a quick patch can find a contractor on Elance. However, if you are rolling out integration to a CRM audience, 100% uptime and on-going updates to match changes to Google and Microsoft's cloud APIs are critical. CompanionLink delivers this level of proprietary business integration."

Panel Of CMOs Discusses Importance Of Sports At IMG WCOS
Published March 31, 2011
Reliant Energy CMO Karen Jones, whose company title sponsors the Texans' stadium in Houston, said, "It is increasingly important for us." Farmers Insurance Exec VP & CMO Kevin Kelso provided a different perspective, since Farmers is relatively new to the sports marketplace but made a huge splash earlier this year by agreeing to a $600-700M naming-rights agreement for AEG's proposed events center/NFL stadium in downtown L.A. "Sports marketing is a new area for us to participate in," Kelso said. "It's been very high-profile for us."
With today being Opening Day in MLB, Coca-Cola North America CMO Bea Perez recalled some Coca-Cola history to describe how important sports have been for her brand. "The reason why Coca-Cola went into bottles," Perez said, "is two gentlemen came to us ... and said, 'We'd really like to be able to drink Coca-Cola at a baseball game.'" She added, "It's a big part of the fabric of our brand, the DNA."

Last night I tried connecting my Acer Iconia A500 to our home network but kept getting "Authentication Problem". There was no problem connecting the night before. I checked the wi-fi using both my phone and a laptop and both these connected as normal. I have re-entered the password etc., onto the tablet but still get the same message.
Any help to solve this matter will be appreciated.

Stone Green Farm is a lovely 15th century farmhouse (dating from 1485, the year of the Battle of Bosworth) set in beautiful countryside on the edge of Mersham village. Run by Caroline and Geoffrey Fletcher. Excellence and a personal service are their key words. When I initially spoke to Caroline & Geoffrey about the content of the film, their values were apparent, so we build their script around that. stonegreenfarm.co.uk

Cat lovers
I ordered the green in a twin size - it arrived promptly and exactly as shown (note that the twin size is actually a two piece set). The color is exactly what I expected and the comforter is very soft and well made - we are very happy with this purchase.Read More
vibrant color!
I haven't washed it yet, but so far it seems to be of great quality. Vibrant colors, soft fuzzy swirls (that only look like roses if you look very closely). My daughter loves it. We bought the double in teal and a twin in green.Read More

Simply Gorgeous. yes I would recommend this product at this good price....Read More
Very soft and cozy
I purchased these for my grandchildren.........all of whom are in one bedroom with bunk beds. The girl picked the pink and the two boys picked the blue and the green. While the colors seem a bit feminine, with the right decor in the room, they are absolutely fine for the boys. (We've added other boy touches.) The kids love them because they are very soft and comfortable and the colors are exactly as shown on my computer screen. My daughter was very happy with the product. We haven't washed them yet, so don't know how they'll hold up but we are very satisfied so far. There are really no "roses" on this comforter, but rather swirls of fur. I say this in case someone else needs them for a boy room.Read More

My daughter really loved them
I order 2 sets of purple color and by mistake I think I also order another color lime green, I called to return the green I got the return label, but then we decide to keep the 4 sets, my girls really loved then.Read More
Rose fur 3-piece comforter set
This comforter is everything I hoped it would be! It was for my little girls room and it couldn't be more adorable!!! I wasn't expecting it to be as soft as it was so that was just an added bonus!!Read More
My daughter loves it!
My daughter wanted a lime green comforter which is actually harder to find than I thought. She loves this comforter and won't let me return it but it is not big enough for a full size bed, it does not hang far enough down to go to the dust ruffle so you can see the sheets on the matress. I gave it a fair rating because it is a nice comforter just too small.Read More

A gift for my daughter. She loves the fur and the color. She had a hard time decided between the blue and the purple.
my son liked it
looked soft and fuzzy, kids liked the colors, matching sets in both kids' favorite colors, not super expensive, good reviews.
I am doing a bedroom for an 11 year old boy and 9 year old girl in bunk beds. This will keep the room consistent but still allow them to have their own colors in their space. The hot pink and lime green will work well with the white bunk bed frame.
My daughter liked the color and the fur aspect of the product.
Daughters loved the color & textures. Good reviews!
I needed something girly but neutral for my daughter's room. i did not want a theme as children change their minds quite often! i am hoping she will absolutely love it and that it will be soft and wonderful!
For our 10 year old daughters redecorated room.
My daughter really liked the color of this bedding for her room. I liked the information that it will be easy to wash :)

How to Buy a Down Comforter
Two major considerations when purchasing a down comforter are content and construction. The Federal Trade Commission has standards set that specify labeling procedures for products that contain down. If the label of a down comforter reads 100 percent down, the comforter must contain down feathers exclusively. The same is true if the label reads pure down or all down. Most down comforters are made with goose down, but some may include down feathers from other species of fowl. Look below to learn how to buy a down comforter.

How to Fluff Comforters
You know it's time to cover the beds with cozy comforters when there's a chill in the air and cold weather sets in. Bedding stored in moisture-resistant bags with the air removed will be clean, but it may be flat, too. Generally stored during the warm seasons, down comforters may become lumpy if the filling was unevenly distributed while they were packed away. Comforters currently in use that appear flat should be freshened, too. A simple fluffing will restore volume, making your bedding plush and cuddly for cold winter nights. Look below to learn how to fluff comforter sets.
How to Clean Bed Comforters
Bed comforters are notoriously difficult to clean at home because of their bulk and weight. Most bed comforters are quilted and drop at least 15 inches over the sides and foot of the bed. These should be cleaned thoroughly once every three months, and large comforters may need to be dry-cleaned. However, many comforter sets can be cleaned at home if you have the right equipment. Take a look below to learn how to clean bed comforters.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Report: Bank execs to step down
NEW YORK -- Three high-ranking executives at JPMorgan Chase are expected to leave their jobs this week after a trading blunder cost the bank $2 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
The Journal, citing people familiar with the situation, reported one of the executives is Ina Drew, who for seven years has run the risk-management division responsible for the loss.
The other two identified by the newspaper are an executive in charge of the London desk that placed the trades and a managing director on that team. The bank did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press.
The $2-billion loss, disclosed by CEO Jamie Dimon, has been an embarrassment for the bank and led lawmakers and critics of the banking industry to again call for tougher regulation of Wall Street.
Drew, one of the highest-ranking women on Wall Street, is the bank's chief investment officer. She was paid $15.5 million last year and almost $16 million the year before, according to a regulatory filing.
The Journal reported Bruno Iksil, the JPMorgan trader identified as the "London whale" because of the giant bets he placed, was also likely to leave, but the paper reported it was not clear when that would happen.
On Friday, investors shaved almost 10 per cent off JPMorgan's stock price. Dimon said in a TV interview aired Sunday he was "dead wrong" when he dismissed concerns about the bank's trading last month.
"We made a terrible, egregious mistake," Dimon said in an interview taped Friday and aired on NBC's Meet the Press. "There's almost no excuse for it."
Dimon said he didn't know the extent of the problem when he said in April the concerns were a "tempest in a teapot."
The loss came in the past six weeks. Dimon has said it came from trading in so-called credit derivatives and was designed to hedge against financial risk, not to make a profit for the bank.
Dimon said the bank is open to inquiries from regulators. He has also promised, in an email to the bank's employees and in a conference call with stock analysts, to get to the bottom of what happened and learn from the mistake.

Teens name center "The View"

Change the name of the city government's paper, I'd be OK with that. My late wife Kate Wakerly, its first editor over 20 years ago, would sometimes jokingly refer to it as "Pravda" :) . But no offense, I don't think you can actually accuse The View of carrying propaganda.

I see no conflict between the The View (teen center), The View (City of Mountain View official newsletter), and The View (TV show). Of course, I don't have a strong interest in any of the three, so i'm probably the wrong person to ask.

The name is perfect, for exactly the reason that Mr. Siegel opposes it. Teenagers are supposed to have secrets that are inscrutable for adults. The teenagers will make "The View" mean something, and whatever it comes to mean will be entirely their own creation and, perhaps, their own secret.

Gatland led Wales to fourth place in the 2011 showpiece but had an offer on the table from Super Rugby side the Chiefs. Had he accepted the offer, then it would have seen him return to the side he coached in 2007.
The soon-to-be British & Irish Lions coach - with the Press Association reporting that he will be unveiled on September 4 - is contracted to Wales until 2015 but that could all have come to an end after the recent World Cup.
"I nearly made the decision after the World Cup [to return to New Zealand] and it was a toss of the coin," Gatland told stuff.co.nz. "I was going to come back and I had been offered the Chiefs job and New Zealand made me an offer of a contract.
"I went back to New Zealand and I said to them: 'Look, it's not about the money but I am finding it a little bit difficult to accept the contract, is there a chance of any movement on it'?
"[I told them] 'Well, you have offered me less money than I was on in 2007 when I was coaching Waikato and was involved with the Chiefs, to coach the Chiefs in 2012'."
When Gatland asked for an improvement on the offer they tabled, he was told: "They just said: 'Things are tight at the moment, the economy is not great' and they said 'that's the best we can do, take it or leave it'.
"If they had have moved 10 or 15 thousand I would have said 'okay, that's great . . . you've moved a little bit' and I would have taken the Chiefs job and [instead] they just said 'take it or leave it' and I said 'thanks very much, I'll leave it'. So that's what happened."
