Is This the Beginning of the End for Jamie Dimon?
JPMorgan Chase's lawsuit-related losses may turn insiders against him.
Jamie Dimon did something today he'd never done before as the CEO of JPMorgan Chase. He lost money.
JPMorgan Chase reported a surprising quarterly loss of $380 million today, the first such loss during Dimon's tenure. On one level, the loss (which was blamed on $9.2 billion in legal expenditures) isn't surprising; the bank is being sued for at least 40 different things by a multitude of agencies and entities, and all those lawyers don't come cheap. But on another level, the loss represents a dramatic reversal of fortune for Dimon himself. He's now vulnerable, in a way he's never been before.
The problem, for those prone to attacking Jamie Dimon over JPMorgan's parade of scandals, is that he has historically been very, very good at the biggest part of his job, which is making money for his shareholders. Subprime suits were flooding in, the London Whale was losing billions of dollars, and still, the money pits kept growing:
Now, with a quarterly loss, Dimon no longer has a money-shaped shield. Along with announcing the loss because of the legal expenses already incurred, Dimon also announced that JPMorgan Chase now has a $23 billion stash reserved for future legal expenses. To put that number in perspective: $23 billion is more than JPMorgan Chase's entire profits in 2012. If the bank does dip substantially into those reserves — by paying, say, an $11 billion global settlement with the Department of Justice — there's almost no chance it will be profitable in the next few quarters either.
The defense from Dimon, of course, is that these expenses are one-offs and will pass in time. The core business of banking, loan-making, and trading, they say, is still a robust money-printing machine. Corporations (but especially banks) always do this. They claim they would have been profitable except for a onetime tax, a write-down on an acquisition, or some other fluke occurrence. And to a large extent, they're usually right.
But JPMorgan's legal losses aren't an exogenous variable anymore. They're the core reason the bank is losing money. So claiming a onetime freebie on earnings because of lawsuits would be like BlackBerry saying, "We would have made $40 billion last quarter if people had bought our phones instead of iPhones."
Guessing when or if Jamie Dimon will step down or be forced out as JPMorgan's CEO is a fool's game. Even during the London Whale scandal, and the criminal charges and congressional outrage that followed, there was no real chance of an ouster since the overall bank was still so profitable. But the now-infamous CNBC defense of Dimon — that he's untouchable because JPMorgan Chase still makes money — is no longer valid. JPMorgan Chase isn't a profitable bank, for the moment, and that means Dimon's protective covering is gone.
Dimon, in some ways, has the opposite problem that Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, faced in 2011 and 2012. To put it simplistically, Blankfein was pressured toward the door in part because Goldman was making too much money — from its housing shorts, prop trading, and other unscrupulous transactions that brought on the ire of the public. And when Goldman reported a loss in the third quarter of 2011 due in part to poor performance in its trading division, it was perversely a good thing for Blankfein's prospects: It proved that Goldman was mortal and that, like the rest of the banking sector, it was complying with new regulation meant to make the sector less risky.
But losing money because of a CEO's fundamental error in oversight — or several dozen of them — is the kind of thing that sets bank boards in motion. Recall that it was one bad write-down, on the heels of a failed "stress test" by the Federal Reserve, that led the board of Citigroup to stage a coup on CEO Vikram Pandit. The Pandit coup had been long in planning, but only when the errors Pandit had made affected the quarterly bottom line did the board have the gumption to remove him.
Dimon won't face a Pandit-like coup, at least not yet. He's still got lots of fans inside the company, and the board is stacked with Dimon loyalists. There was no indication on today's earnings call that Dimon is growing weary from the battle with regulators and prosecutors, and he may well start turning a profit again sooner than we expect.
But if there is an anti-Dimon faction inside the bank's upper management, the quarterly loss has given that faction the cover it needs to start sowing doubts about whether Dimon is still the right person to be running JPMorgan Chase. The biggest threat to Dimon's empire might appear to come from the SEC, DOJ, and other government regulators. But it's really the forces inside his own house that should worry him.

Total fertility rate
The total fertility rate (TFR), sometimes also called the fertility rate, period total fertility rate (PTFR) or total period fertility rate (TPFR) of a population is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime if:
- She were to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) through her lifetime, and
- She were to survive from birth through the end of her reproductive life.[1]
It is obtained by summing the single-year age-specific rates at a given time.

- 5 United States
- 6 World extremes

Parameter characteristics[edit]
The TFR is a synthetic rate, not based on the fertility of any real group of women since this would involve waiting until they had completed childbearing. Nor is it based on counting up the total number of children actually born over their lifetime. Instead, the TFR is based on the age-specific fertility rates of women in their "child-bearing years", which in conventional international statistical usage is ages 15–44 or 15–49.[3]
The TFR is, therefore, a measure of the fertility of an imaginary woman who passes through her reproductive life subject to all the age-specific fertility rates for ages 15–49 that were recorded for a given population in a given year. The TFR represents the average number of children a woman would potentially have, were she to fast-forward through all her childbearing years in a single year, under all the age-specific fertility rates for that year. In other words, this rate is the number of children a woman would have if she was subject to prevailing fertility rates at all ages from a single given year, and survives throughout all her childbearing years.
Related parameters[edit]
Net reproduction rate[edit]
An alternative fertility measure is the net reproduction rate (NRR), which measures the number of daughters a woman would have in her lifetime if she were subject to prevailing age-specific fertility and mortality rates in the given year. When the NRR is exactly one, then each generation of women is exactly reproducing itself. The NRR is less widely used than the TFR, and the United Nations stopped reporting NRR data for member nations after 1998. But the NRR is particularly relevant where the number of male babies born is very high (see gender imbalance and sex selection). This is a significant factor in world population, due to the high level of gender imbalance in the very populous nations of China and India. The gross reproduction rate (GRR), is the same as the NRR, except that—like the TFR—it ignores life expectancy.
Total period fertility rate[edit]
The TFR (or TPFR—total period fertility rate) is a better index of fertility than the crude birth rate (annual number of births per thousand population) because it is independent of the age structure of the population, but it is a poorer estimate of actual completed family size than the total cohort fertility rate, which is obtained by summing the age-specific fertility rates that actually applied to each cohort as they aged through time. In particular, the TFR does not necessarily predict how many children young women now will eventually have, as their fertility rates in years to come may change from those of older women now. However, the TFR is a reasonable summary of current fertility levels.
Tempo effect[edit]
The TPFR (total period fertility rate) is affected by a tempo effect—if age of childbearing increases (and life cycle fertility in unchanged) then while the age of childbearing is increasing, TPFR will be lower (because the births are occurring later), and then the age of childbearing stops increasing, the TPFR will increase (due to the deferred births occurring in the later period) even though the life cycle fertility has been unchanged. In other words, the TPFR is a misleading measure of life cycle fertility when childbearing age is changing, due to this statistical artifact. This is a significant factor in some countries, such as the Czech Republic and Spain in the 1990s. Some measures seek to adjust for this timing effect to gain a better measure of life-cycle fertility.
Replacement rates [edit]
Replacement fertility is the total fertility rate at which women give birth to enough babies to sustain population levels.
If there were no mortality in the female population until the end of the childbearing years (generally taken as 44, 45, or 49, though some exceptions exist) then the replacement level of TFR would be very close to 2.0. The replacement fertility rate is roughly 2.0 births per woman for most industrialized countries (2.075 in the UK, for example), but ranges from 2.5 to 3.3 in developing countries because of higher mortality rates.[6] Taken globally, the total fertility rate at replacement is 2.33 children per woman. At this rate, global population growth would tend towards zero.
A log-transformation of the data gives an alternative view of the relation. The coefficients taken literally imply that for each 1% advance in GDP, TFR diminishes by 0.26%.
Population-lag effect[edit]
A population that maintained a TFR of 3.8 over an extended period without a correspondingly high death or emigration rate would increase rapidly (doubling period ~ 32 years), whereas a population that maintained a TFR of 2.0 over a long time would decrease, unless it had a large enough immigration. However, it may take several generations for a change in the total fertility rate to be reflected in birth rate, because the age distribution must reach equilibrium. For example, a population that has recently dropped below replacement-level fertility will continue to grow, because the recent high fertility produced large numbers of young couples who would now be in their childbearing years.
This phenomenon carries forward for several generations and is called population momentum, population inertia or population-lag effect. This time-lag effect is of great importance to the growth rates of human populations.
TFR (net) and long term population growth rate, g, are closely related. For a population structure in a steady state and with zero migration, g equals log(TFR/2)/Xm, where Xm is mean age for childbearing women and thus P(t) = P(0)*exp(g*t).- At the left side is shown the empirical relation between the two variables in a cross-section of countries with most recent y-y growth rate. The parameter 1/b should be an estimate of the Xm; here equal to 1/.02 = 50 years,- way off the mark because of population momentum. E.g. for log(TFR/2) = 0 g should be exactly zero, which is seen not to be the case.
Developed or developing countries[edit]
Developed countries usually have a much lower fertility rate, often correlated with greater wealth, education, urbanization, or other factors. Mortality rates are low, birth control is understood and easily accessible, and costs are often deemed very high because of education, clothing, feeding, and social amenities. With wealth, contraception becomes affordable. In countries like Iran where contraception was subsidized before the economy accelerated, birth rate also rapidly declined. Further, longer periods of time spent getting higher education often mean women have children later in life. Female labor participation rate also has substantial negative impact on fertility.
In undeveloped countries on the other hand, families desire children for their labour and as caregivers for their parents in old age. Fertility rates are also higher due to the lack of access to contraceptives, stricter adherence to traditional religious beliefs, generally lower levels of female education, and lower rates of female employment in industry. The total fertility rate for the world has been declining very rapidly since the 1990s. Some forecasters like Sanjeev Sanyal argue that, adjusted for gender imbalances, the effective global fertility will fall below replacement rate in the 2020s. This will stabilize world population by 2050, which is much sooner than the UN Population Division expects.[7]
United States[edit]
|U.S. Total
The total fertility rate in the United States after World War II peaked at about 3.8 children per woman in the late 1950s and by 1999 was at 2 children. This means that an imaginary woman (defined in the introduction) who fast-forwarded through her life in the late 1950s would have been expected to have about four children, whereas an imaginary woman who fast-forwarded through her life in 1999 would have been expected to have only about two children in her lifetime. The fertility rate of the total U.S. population is just below the replacement level of about 1.9 children per woman.[9] However, the fertility of the population of the United States is below replacement among those native born, and above replacement among immigrant families, most of whom come to the U.S. from countries with higher fertility than that of the U.S. However, the fertility rates of immigrants to the U.S. have been found to decrease sharply in the second generation, correlating with improved education and income.[10]
World extremes[edit]
The lowest TFR recorded anywhere in the world in recorded history is for Xiangyang district of Jiamusi city (Heilongjiang, China) which had a TFR of 0.41.[11] Outside China, the lowest TFR ever recorded was 0.80 for Eastern Germany in 1994.
The average total fertility rate in the European Union (EU-27) has been calculated at 1.59 children per woman in 2009.[12]
In the non-EU European post-Soviet states group to 2015, Russia has a TFR of 1.78 children per woman,[13] Belarus 1.70 and Ukraine 1.50.[14]
A parent's number of children strongly correlates with the number of children that each person in the next generation will eventually have.[15] Factors generally associated with increased fertility include religiosity,[16] intention to have children,[17] and maternal support.[18] Factors generally associated with decreased fertility include wealth, education,[19] female labor participation,[20] urban residence,[21] intelligence, widespread birth control usage, increased female age and (to a lesser degree) increased male age.

UPDATE: Sandy Hook Inconsistencies Abound - Survivors from Ms. Soto's class - Censored by WTIC radio
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Yesterday I posted the following thread on glp:
Thread: Another Sandy Hook Inconsistency - Caught on local talk radio
The thread deals with a person who called in to WTIC's Jim Vicevich show regarding his granddaughter, one of the surviving students from Ms. Soto's class. He said she escaped by running out of the room with other children. He sounded genuine, though we have no way of knowing at this point if he was.
What he said was problematic, because the media reported that the survivors from Ms. Soto's class were found by police still hiding in the closet after the shooting. [
link to www.courant.com
] Thus the two accounts are in conflict. Then there's the interview with the local man from Newtown who said the survivors from Ms. Soto's class fled to his house.
I called the show today to address this on air with fill in host (Vicevich was off today). The screener asked my name and what I wanted to talk about. I told him the above. I was thoroughly polite and respectful. He put me on hold for about 5 minutes. He came back and told me that the host, Pastor Will Marotti, would not take my call "because he didn't want to talk about that subject on the air." This show has a conservative slant, and they take calls from all kinds of people with all kinds of points of view. Yet they refused to take my call that pertained to a legitimate question about what happened in probably the most infamous crime in our state's history.
Here's the link to the archived shows. Note, however, that Thursday 12/20's show, the show that includes the call referenced above, is not included. Perhaps they haven't put it on there yet???
link to connecticut.cbslocal.com
This particular issue, namely the fate of the SEVEN SURVIVORS from Ms. Soto's class is, if I may say, the smoking gun.
The other component to this is the Gene Rosen situation. Remember, he was the one who came out and found the survivors from Soto's class in his driveway. Here's the interview with Fox:
link to www.youtube.com
Note how at 1:04 he refers to a man "talking to the childern harshly" as the children sat in an orderly fashion. At 5:57 he mentions a FEMALE bus driver "had the presence of mind to call her superior.
I have some questions. First, the overriding one: did the seven survivors from Soto's class escape the massacre and end up at Gene Rosens as he claims, and as the caller to the Vicevich show claims; or were they found in the closet by the police officer after the shooting, as the Courant claims?
Second, if they did escape, how did they end up at Rosen's? Where is his house in relation to the school? Who was the man "talking harshly" when Rosen supposedly came upon them? Who was the bus driver?
Finally, if these children did escape, why has it been reported, with no retraction, that they were found in the closet? Those two possibilities are mutually exclusive.
just came over 40 min ago: [
link to www.courant.com
Now they're saying the survivors from Soto's class DID escape, and WERE NOT found in the closet as first reported.
I need people to take screenshots of the original article before it disapppears.
link to www.courant.com
This article conveniently leaves out the fact that Aidan Licata was said to have escaped from Soto's classroom. His parents were interviewed and said that Aidan grabbed "some other boys" and they all ran past the shooter as he stood next to the doorway just after shooting Soto. The story is that they were picked up on the road by a woman and driven to the POLICE STATION. Where Aidan's parents then picked them up.
That is at least 3 boys. Plus the 6 in Cohen's driveway. Plus 6 survived in the closet. Plus 6 shot dead. That makes at MINIMUM 21 total. Alot bigger than the other 1st grade class which was 16 total.
And the Cohen story was a big joke. Who knows how those kids really got there.

BRYAN -- The Brazos Valley Bombers strengthened their ties with Texas A&M today announcing that the team has signed two Aggies for the 2010 season. Juniors, Nick Fleece and Brett Parsons will call the Brazos Valley Bank Ballpark home again this summer. The players will help to form a firm foundation as the team prepares to push for its first Texas Collegiate League Title in its fourth season.
This will be the second year with the Bombers for Fleece, who had a spotless ERA in seven innings pitched and hit .250 with a .333 on base percentage last year.
Returning Bombers first baseman, Parsons, hit .277 last summer over 130 at-bats, the third highest total for the Bombers.
Four local players will join the Bombers for the 2010 season: returning Bomber Geoff Lomax of Hendrix College, Brannon Easterling of Temple College, and Miller Aldrich of Lamar University, who all attended A&M Consolidated High School in College Station, and Ryan Eastman of the University of Houston who prepped at The Woodlands High School in The Woodlands, Texas and was names All-State Honorable Mention at second base by Texas Sports Writer.
Lomax is back for his second season with the Bombers. Last year Geoff posted a 0.93 ERA in 19.1 innings pitched for the team.
The Bombers have also signed three players from the University of Oklahoma. The Sooners' Max White, Drew Harrison, and Derek Vaughn will join the Bombers for the 2010 season. The trio will add depth and a great deal of talent to the roster this summer.
White has been active in his first college season, playing in 50 of Oklahoma's 56 games. The freshman is hitting .321 with 14 home runs, 11 doubles and 39 RBI this year.
Excitement continues to build for the season as the Bombers have sold out for the forth consecutive year the Founder's club. The team also sold out the Reserve Plus section of Brazos Valley Bank Ballpark for the season.
Single game tickets for the remaining grandstand seating will go on sale Friday, May 28th at noon with the home opener on June 2nd. The home opener includes the Bombers annual magnetic schedule giveaway to the first 400 fans, a balloon drop, and much more as we countdown to the first pitch for the New Year of Bomber Baseball.
Season tickets are still available and start at $105 online at www.bvbombers.com, by phone at 979-779-PLAY, or at the Bombers offices at 405 Mitchell Street in Bryan.

This dish is awesome, I make this all of the time and I am always amazed at how wonderful it come out! I have modified it a bit - I generally take out the lemons after I put the chicken in...I find they get a bit too tart. I use salted butter and skip the salt and I add equal parts flour/water to the francese sauce to thicken it up. Try it, you will not be disappointed!
Overall, a great dish - tasty, easy to make, and economical. I have to agree with the reviewer who found the sauce a little too lemony, though. Maybe we both had extra tart lemons, but I will plan to use only the lemon juice next time. This time, I used a bit more butter to bring down the tartness.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
It was, of course, that moment when talking to strangers that I dread, when said stranger finds out that I write about comic books for a living, and says "Do they still make those?" in a way that's both entirely genuine and unsnarky and somehow more upsetting and offensive than if it had been the snarkiest, snippiest comment possible (I sometimes wonder what they'd do if I answered "No, I write about a dead art form that finished because you gave up on Super Friends all those years ago," but then I remember that with the pop cultural landscape being what it is in these post-modern times, that that could theoretically be possible). After explaining that, yes, it's a living and – in many ways – thriving medium, I got the inevitable follow-up question, which also happens to be the one I always enjoy answering: "So what would you recommend?"
The reason why I love answering this question isn't because I like to give advice like that or try to second guess people's tastes (In actuality, I actually kind of hate that part; I feel this imagined pressure not to mess it up, and worry that maybe the person I'm talking to might be the kind of contrarian who'll like creator X's first, second and fourth books but hate the third with an inexplicable passion hotter than a million suns), but because – without fail, pretty much – whoever asks that question having opened with the "Do they still make those?" one will have a very strict definition of comics in their mind that goes something like "Those things I read as a kid and maybe Watchmen and Maus at best." The guy I was talking to at this dinner happily took that role, telling me that he'd pretty much thought that Maus was the last stand of a dying art that was probably followed by creators realizing that such complexity belongs more to prose or the moving picture or anything other than comic books, because, hey! Peanuts! Archie! (Okay, that last part was implied, at most. But still, come on.)
What's great about answering the question is that, unless their response to "Well, what do you normally read/watch?" is superheroes or My Little Pony or whatever, the suggestion of a book or series almost always comes as a surprise. "Wow, they do comics about that?" is a great thing to hear, because the answer is always Yes, yes, they do, and you get that momentary glow of "You know, comics are just great" when you realize how much great material has come out in recent years, and how varied that material can be. I've found myself recommending things like Finder and The War at Ellsmere and Laika and Eddie Campbell's Alec (which, to be fair, I recommend at the drop of a hat; "Do you like people? You should read Alec!") and Cages and so on and so on, and there's something just plain nice about being able to offer up books and stories that you love so much, even with the nervousness about "What if they have bad taste?"
This particular guy, he told me that he loved biographies of scientists, so I told him to grab Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick's Feynman bio of Richard Feynman from last year. He was appropriately surprised, amused and promised to look for it online when he got home. I kind of love the idea that that could lead him to Ottaviani's other books, and from there to a whole new medium filled with good stuff. As good as the shortbread for dessert may have been, that would still be the best possible thing to come out of that entire meal.
Do people still have "Dinner Parties"?
I was poking through the comics section at the local independent bookseller and someone sitting in a group at a table behind me looked up and said "Wow, there's a comic of Howl? I have to check that out" and got up and started thumbing through it.
Ottaviani does great work. I love how he focuses on subjects that no one else does.
I did get a little lost with Feynman though. When he started explaining quantum physics my mind started to drift. The life story and anecdotes were great though.

What time does your August lo go to bed? We have been really laxed on bedtimes and bedtime routines. And ds will fall asleep anywhere from 9:00 - 10:00 on a normal day, sometimes it's later. It just seems like it's too late. We don't have any real structure as far as bedtime goes for any of my kids and it worked for awhile, but I think it's time. So, what time do yours go to bed?
Bedtime? With Poll...
between 8 and 9. I sometimes don't get off work till 9, so very rarely, she goes to bed at 10. She wakes up around 6-7 in the morning. So I can't imagine her going to bed early.
So for those of you with kids who are night owls (like the ones who go to bed at 9:00 and 10:00 pm) are you or your spouse also night owls? I can't imagine my kids staying up that late because I go to bed at 10:00-10:30 pm and I need a couple hours of kid free time before I go to bed.
I agree w/ Emily - I gotta have 1 hour kid-free before I fall asleep, so a scheduled bed time at 8p is vital for us! (Exeption: The oldest stays up until 9p since she shares a bedroom with the baby... staggered bedtimes is the only way it works for the girls).
Also, my oldest is in kindergarten 9a-3p and my middle is in all-day preschool 9a-3p (I'm a WAHM so I can only handle the baby while I'm working). Because of work/school, we are on a schedule where we all wake up together at 7a, are dressed, fed, lunches packed, and out the door at 8:30a latest to start our day.
SAHM to Sarah ('06), Ben ('08) & Hannah ('11)
Siouxieq78 pretty much wrote half my post for me. :-) DH doesn't get home on a typical night till between 7:30-8:30, and at the end of the month, it'll be even later (he's been known not to get home until 1:00am on the last night of the month) so if DD didn't stay up, she'd never see him. I've been working "full-time" subbing for a few weeks, so I've been leaving the house very early lately, which means he's been taking her to preschool 3x a week and to my mom's 2x a week, so they now see each other in the mornings. But if she didn't stay up, they'd rarely see each other during the week. She still will take a 2 hr nap during the day, so I don't have a problem with bedtime not being until 9:15 or 9:30. She's usually asleep very very quickly (of course, we have our problem nights too) so it's not an issue.
He wakes up around 7 or 7:30 everyday. I just put him to bed and it's 9:15 here... Now the baby is waking up.

Whose LOs are on the go? And if they are, how are they getting around these days?
I think 8 months is about average for starting to crawl, but I know there are babies on here walking already, and babies who won't be crawling for months.
DS just figured out how to do a "real" crawl, though he hasn't completely mastered it yet, and never did the commando crawl. My ODD, on the other hand, was more or less not mobile until about 11 months (she could do a sort of commando crawl earlier, but it only ever got her a foot or two).
(I realize that there are some in-between options that I didn't have room for here, so if your LO falls into a different category, please explain).

AbstractThe Remote Minehunting System (RMS) AN/WLD-1(V)1 vehicle (RMV) currently does not have a forward-looking sonar (FLS) or any other underwater obstacle avoidance sensor. This means that the RMV itself, while towing a sonar array, will be "flying blind" in littoral environments that are expected to have mines and other obstacles. Operating without an FLS poses a significant risk to the vehicle and therefore to the RMS mission. The addition of an FLS to the RMV will eliminate this risk. Sonatech is in a unique position to manufacture a prototype FLS system for the RMS application that incorporates the state-of-the-art technology and features of the design developed by Sonatech in Phase I of this project. This is because Sonatech has extensive experience in high-performance FLS design and manufacture for a number of critical applications. Sonatech has successfully completed Phase I of the program by proving the feasibility of the concept with transducer prototypes test data, system performance analyses, system design specification which all serve as the basis for the production of a prototype FLS in Phase II.

Tip of the Day
It's been a dismal decade in Italy's Serie A championship for Rome's leading football teams. Lazio and AS Roma won back-to-back scudetto titles from 1999 to 2001, but the country's top division has since been dominated by Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
The capital's leading clubs have found success easier to come by in the Coppa Italia, the country's premier knockout tournament: Roma lifted the trophy in 2007 and 2008, before Lazio beat Sampdoria on a penalty shootout in the 2009 final.
Rome will have just a single representative in the quarterfinals this year, though, since the two clubs meet for a place in the last eight on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico ground that these two share—and which will stage this year's Coppa Italia final.
Roma secured a 2-0 victory in November's Serie A match between these two teams and Claudio Ranieri's side is favorite to repeat that win here.
Victor Chandler offers a best-price 21/20 for Roma to win inside 90 minutes. With extra-time and penalties on the cards if the score remains level after 90 minutes, Sportingbet makes Roma 9/20 to advance.
Despite such short odds, backing Roma to win here is advisable: After a stuttering start which saw the team mired in the relegation zone back in October, Roma has since recovered and climbed to fourth in the Serie A standings following four wins in its last five games.
Lazio is second in the league table after a 1-0 win over Sampdoria on Sunday, but the club hasn't won back-to-back games in nearly three months. Backing Roma to win by one goal at 11/4 could also pay-off: Nine of its 14 wins in all competitions have come by a one-goal margin.

hey, i know how to make a frame, but i don't know how to make a link in it. i'm using geocities, and my frames just have a yahoo page in them...what do i do? anyone got a code?
hey, i know how to make a frame, but i don't know how to make a link in it. i'm using geocities, and my frames just have a yahoo page in them...what do i do? anyone got a code?
We really could do with a little more information here like.
1) How many frames make up the frameset.
2) What are the names of the frames.
3) Which frame is the links going to be in.
4) Which frame is going to be targeted
5) How many blackbirds in the pie
6) Who ran away with the spoon
7) Why did the chicken cross the road
8) etc. etc
The more information you give us the more chance of you getting a reply
that was confusing, i'm new at this, but here are the answers to the one's that i could answer:
1) How many frames make up the frameset: 1
2) What are the names of the frames: ??
3) Which frame is the links going to be in: uh...1?
4) Which frame is going to be targeted: huh?
5) How many blackbirds in the pie: um...5?
6) Who ran away with the spoon: ooh! i know this one! the dish!
7) Why did the chicken cross the road: to get to the other side *duh*
Like it
OK here we go with a few basics.
A frameset consists of a number of frames, this depends on how many frames you want in your frameset.
If you have two frames in your frameset IE, a left frame and a right frame you give the left frame a name and give the right frame a name.
For this example we will call the left frame "Left" and the right frame "Right".
The names can be any of your choosing.
You can place a link in the left frame and target the right frame using a simple link as follows.
Link
This will load your page into the right frame.
PS there was 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in the pie
perhaps your going about it in the wrong way, you should have 3 pages the page that the frameset is in, and the 2 ( or however many ) pages that are the frames, this is 3 .html files.Originally posted by Sing4theMoment
hey, i know how to make a frame, but i don't know how to make a link in it.
to make a link in it, you would just edit one of the frame files
and also to make it easier instead of typing target="frame" inline every link, you could add <base href="frame"> inside your  tag if all the links will go to the same place. then any inline targets will go to wherever you want, this will make a default target.
you can also read http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutors/frame1.html for more frame help.
can you post a link to your site? Taking a look at what's actually there usually helps a great deal in solving any problems.
why bother with a frameset if you just have a single frame in it? That's pointless, unless it's some attempt to protect your code, which is pointless too.
It would help if you describe what you want to accomplish; maybe someone can give you a much better solution (being really experienced and all, yaddi yadda...).
ok...well...i just want the links in one frame and the page in the other.
So you want two frames! How would you have them arranged, one on top of the other, or one next to the other?
Anywayz: a basic two frame setup consists of three documents:
[list=1][*]A frameset document, which contains the frameset: no other content, so no body element![*]A normal document which contains the content for the first frame (i.e. your links);[*]Ditto for the second frame (i.e. the content).[/list=1]
The trick is to name the frames; when linking to a document, referring to the desired frame by its name using the target attribute will cause the linked document to open in that frame.
By example, if the frame is named "content" (... name="content"...), the mentioned link should look something like:
I hope that helps you along a bit further; if not, do come back here!Code:
Good luck!
uh...err...that made absolutely no sense...um...i want two frames next to each other...?
why didn't you include all this in your frist post here i will give you the code
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mmres://user_interface_small.css">
<title>Tilte here</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<frameset cols="175,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0" rows="*">
<frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="Put html file here">
<frame name="mainFrame" src="Put html file here">
<noframes>
Yor browser sucks get a new one
Since you don't understand
the name in this case is
and i for got that for the link it would be
Link
Link
is the one on the left and the
is the one on the right
Hope this sheds some light on the topic

In C, a
void pointer is implicitly typecasted to another type.
See below program:
int main()
void *p;
int* ptr,i=5;
ptr=p; <---------------------------
return 0;
The program compiles successfully when run under C environment.
However, if the same program is run under C++ environment, i am getting the below error:
prog.cpp: In function 'int main()':
prog.cpp:8: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'int*'
It means that in C++, we need to explicitly typecase a
void pointer.
So, Why the return type of the
new operator is void*? How, it is being converted to the desired type?

When Congress was looking to make the National Institutes of Health more efficient, Joyce Sweasy came to the rescue. A top supply manager at NIH, she offered an idea to cut waste and save taxpayers $2 million a year. It's one reason her boss then re-assigned her, but as CBS News Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports, it was no promotion.
"I was given absolutely no work to do," Sweasy says.
She claims her boss was angry because her cost-savings plan exposed waste in his branch; he says she was repeatedly insubordinate. But Sweasy never imagined her "punishment" would be a do-nothing assignment with taxpayers forking out her paycheck.
"My gross salary was over a $100,000 a year," she says. "How can they continue to pay me," she wondered. "I'm not doing anything."
Rosemary Cummings was also a high level manager at NIH.
"I was going into work at 7 o'clock in the morning and staying until 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock. Weekends I'd be there," says Cummings.
That all came to a sudden halt when she, too, was transferred from her position, in which she was in charge of 130 people.
In her new position she was doing nothing, Cummings says, but still earning plenty: more than $100,000 a year on the taxpayers' dime.
Joyce Sweasy became depressed and desperate. She even offered to do the clerks' photocopying.
She took her case to an employment judge who said her boss was justified in transferring her but not to a do-nothing job with "less than three hours of work over two years." The judge called that illegal retaliation, and blamed her boss, the same man who gave Cummings nothing to do: a top NIH official, Leamon Lee.
The judge found Lee "has a history of taking reprisal action" against workers, but his career hasn't seemed to suffer.
Raynard Kington, NIH's number two official, won't talk about Lee, but insists managers like Lee are punished when they do wrong. As to how many employees complain they're in "do-nothing jobs," he says there's no epidemic.
"We know that there are allegations like this that get resolved," says Kington. "The important thing is it's resolved."
Sweasy won a $200,000 judgement against NIH for suffering the do-nothing job, but says the lost year decimated her career.
As for Cummings, she left her highly-paid position to begin a much busier early retirement.
As a taxpayer, Cummings says, "My thought is, what a waste."
It's a waste of time, talent and taxpayer dollars.

At the center of Madison's (The Littlest Grape Stomper) picture book is first-grader Velma Gratch; despite her round eyeglasses and bushy red pigtails, she worries that she isn't as memorable as her well-known older siblings-until she discovers butterflies. "She adored the ones with colorful names: brown elfin, frosted flasher, sleepy orange. And the ones with funny names: comma, question mark, American snout." During a school trip to a butterfly conservatory, which Velma aptly calls a "can-serve-the-story" in a humorous if too-cute Junie B.-esque malapropism, the otherwise ordinary story veers abruptly into fantasy. A monarch perches on Velma's finger and won't let go (she attends ballet class with it on her finger and sleeps with her butterfly hand on a pillow), finally giving her the distinction she craves. Hawkes's (Library Lion) paintings ably convey the colorful differences between the types of butterflies. His work shines most brightly, perhaps, on his witty endpapers: the opening papers show caterpillars (including an "orange-tipped Gratch"); the papers at the end display butterflies (Velma is now a "Small Gratchis"), underscoring the character's own metamorphosis. Both adults and emerging conservationists should appreciate this leisurely story about finding one's bliss. Ages 4-8. (Oct.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

It's hard to be Velma, the littlest Gratch, entering the first grade. That's because everyone has marvelous memories of her two older sisters, who were practically perfect first graders. Poor Velma—people can barely remember her name. But all that changes on a class trip to the magnificent Butterfly Conservatory—a place neither of her sisters has ever been. When a monarch roosts on Velma's finger and won't budge for days . . . well, no one will forget Velma ever again. Acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Kevin Hawkes and author Alan Madison celebrate everything butterfly—from migration to metamorphosis. Watch as Velma Gratch metamorphosizes from a timid first grader into a confident young scientist!
Editorial Reviews
When Velma Gratch enters first grade, all the teachers have marvelous memories of her two "practically perfect" older sisters. Poor Velma struggles to find a subject in which to excel. A visit to the Butterfly Conservatory with her classmates becomes a field trip neither Velma nor her classmates will forget and is the vehicle which Velma needs to prove she is way cool. As she walks through the exhibit, the timid girl desperately want a butterfly to touch her and she holds her breath as one gentle monarch lands on her finger. There it stays on the bus ride home, all the next day in school, even through ballet and soccer. Velma proudly parades her butterfly to the park with the whole class and principal following to release the monarch for its long trek to Mexico. Velma has done something as marvelous as her sisters. This celebration of one child overcoming her timidity and undergoing her own metamorphosis is nicely balanced with butterfly information from metamorphosis to migration. It does take a stretch of imagination to believe the butterfly would stay of Velma's fingers for several days but her joy is so infectious it is easy to cheer her on. The bright, energetic illustrations move the story along. You cannot help but like Velma; she is way cool. Reviewer: Beverley Fahey

I read this wonderful book to my granddaughter and we both loved it. The illustrations were so fun. The story truly caught the problems of a little sister trying to be like her big sisters. And we even learned a great lesson about butterflies.
Wonderful story especially for kids with older siblings who get compared, or compare themselves, to the abilities of their older siblings. Velma finds that she has her own unique abilities.
Not only is Velma a charming story, it manages to teach some science without being pedantic. Perfect for home or for a classroom.

3A boys basketball state tournament capsules
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
Note: Enter to win a $50 Amazon gift card in our 3A Playoffs Hoops Picks contest.
All signs points to a team from Region 9 being crowned state champion with the 3A state tournament being held at the Burns Arena at Dixie State College this year. No. 1 Desert Hills is certainly the favorite in the tough tournament field. Northern teams like Judge, Payson and Morgan are talented enough to spoil what many feel is an inevitable title for a Southern Utah team.
Here's a team-by-team look at all 16 teams in the state tournament, and what to expect:
Bear River Bears (7-14)
Coach: Kasey Winters
How qualified: Finished tied for third in Region 11 with Ogden at 6-6, but won the coin flip and heads into the playoffs as the No. 3 seed.
Playoff opener: at Delta, Saturday, 7 p.m.
Best preseason victory: A 71-64 win against Hurricane at the Sevier Valley Center on Dec. 3.
Best region victory: A 77-59 win against Ogden on Jan. 27.

Riley Robbins, Sr. (7.8 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.5 spg)
Kyle Zundel, Jr. (4.3 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 1.5 apg, 0.7 spg)
Tory Brown, Sr. (4.0 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 0.5 apg, 0.5 spg)
Scoring offense: 54.2 ppg (13th in 3A)
Scoring defense: 60.0 ppg (24th in 3A)
Last state championship: 2009
Prep editor James Edward's bracket: Loss to Judge in quarterfinals.
Edward's evaluation: At one point this season Bear River owned a 1-10 record before it started to pick up wins in the soft Region 11. That one preseason victory was against Hurricane at the Sevier Valley Center, proof the Bears are capable of competing with top-notch teams on a given night. It can also lay an egg.
Ben Lomond Scots (15-6)
Coach: Ryan Wilcox
How qualified: Finished second in Region 11 with a 10-2 record
Playoff opener: vs. Carbon, Saturday, 7 p.m.
Best preseason victory: A 47-45 win against Roy on Dec. 3.
Best region victory: A 62-50 at Ogden on Feb. 8.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - An atheist soldier suing over prayers at military formations claims a larger pattern of religious discrimination exists in the military.
Spc. Dustin Chalker cites attempts to convert Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan and an evangelical bias in a suicide prevention manual.
The expanded lawsuit filed yesterday by Chalker and the Military
Religious Freedom Foundation in U.S. District Court in Kansas City
also claims the military doesn't take complaints of religious
discrimination seriously enough.
A Pentagon spokeswoman says the military has identified fewer
than 50 complaints about alleged violations of religious freedoms
during the past three years, with 1.4 million personnel in uniform.
She has declined to comment on a pending lawsuit but notes that
the military has policies against endorsing any religious view.

The War And Peace Revival
This exciting five-day military and vintage festival will be packed full of education and entertainment bringing the Dunkirk Spirit to this historic corner of Kent.
Visitors to the new War and Peace Revival will be able to catch up with friends while watching the incredible action-packed battle re-enactments - not just a group of people running around playing soldiers but a full-scale choreographed battle to give you a taste of the action at the Front! Get right up close to the action, but through a safe and vehicle-free zone. And if preferred, the main grandstand will give superb viewing opportunities from the terraces or even the Restaurant!
Thousands of military vehicles are expected to gather at the new venue from around the world representing the armies of the 20th century. Look out for tanks, artillery, armoured and amphibious vehicles, cars, Jeeps, bicycles and motorbikes, emergency and commercial vehicles - and lots more.
There will also be trade stalls offering militaria, antiquities, vehicle parts, books, memorabilia, clothing and uniforms, model stalls offering an extensive display of some top class models, a Vintage Village dedicated to all things vintage, a dance marquee, live music, great food and drink, and evening entertainment from across the generations.

From Poverty to Power
From Poverty to Power, James Allen's first book, sketches a line of development along which each one person should work in order to accomplish the greatest amount of lasting good. Enduring success in any direction is shown to be the result of inward adjustment and growth. From Poverty to Power contains two sections, The Path to Prosperity and The Way of Peace. Each were later published as individual books. James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of self-help movement. Allen's practical philosophy for successful living has awakened millions to the discovery that "they themselves are makers of themselves". Allen insists that it is within the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness.
