Good morning. We're still processing Monday's news from Boston, and wishing the best for everyone who was touched by the vicious attack there. Here in New York, the televised scenes evoke very sad memories. It's a natural reaction to want to have done something to prevent this, or, failing that, to want to quickly bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to justice. Since 2001, the public and private sectors have poured millions, if not billions of dollars into technology in the hopes of preventing this kind of tragedy. But if there's one thing we've learned, it's that the spontaneous use of social networks, abetted by consumer technology, has been at least as effective as structured systems in helping people adapt and react quickly to a crisis. It's a lesson with which technology executives are becoming increasingly familiar in their businesses.
I recently spoke to Jay Grant, the general secretary of InterPortPolice, an organization of police chiefs of maritime and airports, about technology the group is using to help improve critical information-sharing among its members. But years after 9/11, the effort has barely gotten off the ground. A little more than a half-dozen years ago, the organization began building a more sophisticated IT infrastructure, but communications technology "just wasn't there," Mr. Grant said. The organization plans to make use of electronic sensors connected to databases and mobile devices to better detect and communicate unauthorized entries into secure areas, but that system won't be operational until July. There's absolutely no reason to believe sensors would have prevented Monday's bombing; this is just one example of one organization trying to protect civilians, but there are many more variables and unpredictable outcomes in life than there are rational and systematic approaches to preventing such attacks.
While the structured and organized use of information technology was unable to prevent this tragedy, the ad hoc use of that same infrastructure has helped people communicate and organize in the aftermath. People used social media to offer each other shelter, Google Inc. provided a tool to help people locate loved ones or tell people they're unhurt, and social network Reddit served to aggregate a stream of relevant news. Consumer mobile technology will likely emerge as a powerful investigative tool, by providing authorities with footage from a variety of angles and perspectives, from smartphones carried by onlookers at the race, to supplement surveillance cameras.
But crowdsourcing can provide more than simply a glut of images. Analyzing video is still a largely human-driven activity, as the Atlantic reports. Some people took the initiative Monday afternoon of creating websites for others to upload videos from the marathon in the hopes of helping find whoever was responsible for the bombing. Michael Skaff, vice president of technology at Masons of California, went to Twitter to suggest crowdsourcing video to "help catch those responsible." Laudable as that instinct may be, it's easy to imagine how crowdsourcing could turn into frightening vigilantism, as thousands of amateur sleuths pouring over video could jump to the wrong conclusion and potentially turn a virtual mob against an innocent person.
For business IT leaders, the lessons emerging from the Boston bombing are that technology in the hands of people is probably more effective, and certainly more nimble, than technology rigidly controlled by organizations, but that governance is required to ensure that information generated by consumer technology is used properly.
JetBlue boosting tech to speed partnerships. JetBlue Airways Corp. is nearly finished building a "plug and play" system that will allow the airline to offer customers international flights operated by its partners, but booked through the company's website, the carrier's CIO Eash Sundaram told CIO Journal. As the company moves to expand its partnerships "we need a common way of doing business with multiple airlines," said Mr. Sundaram. "Time to market is critical. We can't afford to have it take eight months to go to market for each partnership," he said.
Hacking competition helps companies find talent. Nearly 80 college students will gather in San Antonio, Friday, for the finals of the annual National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition — which, not surprisingly, has also become a recruiting destination. If the past is any indication, some of the participants will walk away with one or more job offers, and starting salaries from $65,000 to $100,000, said Dwayne Williams, director of the competition, which is affiliated with the Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security at the University of Texas at San Antonio. "We have a number of sponsors who will walk in with offer letters," Mr. Williams told CIO Journal.
Battle for Sprint heats up. Dish Network Corp.'s $25.5 billion bid for Sprint Nextel Corp. is setting up a huge battle for a slice of the U.S. wireless market. Dish Chairman Charles Ergen is making a bet that telecom providers will have a greater role in people's lives than simply being the "dumb pipe" that transmits data traffic on behalf of other companies, the WSJ says. That presumed wealth of data about people's media habits both in and out of their homes would create new advertising opportunities, Mr. Ergen said. "That phone is also going to be your wallet, so it knows what you spend money on."
Twitter seek deals with Viacom, NBC to feature TV online. Twitter Inc. is close to reaching partnerships with television networks that would bring more high-quality video content and advertising to the social site, Bloomberg's Douglas MacMillan, Edmund Lee and Alex Sherman report. The company has held talks with Viacom Inc. about hosting TV clips on its site and selling ads alongside them. Twitter has also discussed a content partnership with Comcast Corp.'s NBCUniversal. The partnerships would let Twitter stream videos on its site and split the resulting ad revenue with the networks. One or more deals could be reached by mid-May, and Twitter may strike deals with other networks.
Cyber threats top intelligence report. The Department of Defense said yesterday that cyber threats are the top danger facing the U.S. While cyberespionage and the potentially devastating effects of a nation-led cyberattack have received a lot of press attention over the last several months, "this is the first time that cyber has been cited as the top threat," a Defense Department spokesperson told the Verge's Chris Franzen.
IBM floods national capital with executives. IBM Corp. is sending 200 of its executives to Washington, D.C. to press for support for a cybersecurity bill up for a House vote this week, reports Hillicon Valley's Jennifer Martinez. The executives will hold nearly 300 meetings with lawmakers. "The message we're going to give [lawmakers] is going to be a very simple, clear message: support the passage of CISPA," said Chris Padilla, Big Blue's vice president of governmental affairs. CISPA, also known as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, makes it easier for industry and government to share data about cyber threats. Privacy advocates have warned that the bill doesn't protect privacy rights, and last year the White House threatened to veto the bill, partly over those concerns, Ms. Martinez writes.
FAA: App can't hijack plane. The Federal Aviation Administration says that there is no such thing as an Android app capable of hijacking a commercial aircraft, reports ComputerWorld's John P Mello. Last week a security researcher announced an app he believed capable of commandeering a plane's navigation system. The FAA said that such an app would not work on a cockpit with "certified flight hardware."
Facebook talking with Apple about new version of 'Home.' Facebook Inc. is talking to Apple Inc. about crafting a version of its new mobile software for the iPhone, in a push to boost revenue from the growing number of users who access the social network on smaller screens, Bloomberg's Jon Erlichman and Brian Womack report. "We've shown them what we've built and we're just in an ongoing conversation," said Adam Mosseri, director of product at Facebook. On iPhone devices, the Home software would be tailored to what Apple prefers, Mr. Mosseri said. It could look much different than the Android version.
Google Glass Explorer Edition starts shipping. Google sent out an email Monday to everyone on the Glass Explorers list to say that a few of the $1,500 wearable devices had already come off the production line, CNET's Dara Kerr reports. Instead of waiting for all of the devices to be ready at the same time, Google is shipping them to developers in batches. "We're producing enough for everyone, but only a portion of them are ready today. Therefore, we'll be notifying you in waves," Google wrote.
Microsoft touts its own smart buildings. A team of Microsoft Corp. engineers spent more than three years tying together sensors on the company's Redmond, Wash. campus. to track building systems. The project has yielded "great tidal waves of data," the company says, "telling engineers about everything from wasteful lighting schedules to hugely inefficient (but up until then, silent and undetectable) battles being waged between air conditioners and heaters to keep temperatures pleasant." While the company shares this information is a nice, multipage online press release, it's worth noting Microsoft's commercial interest in the "Internet of Things."
Microsoft revokes 'Patch Tuesday.' ZDNet's Charlie Osborne reports that Microsoft is recommending that users remove updates associated with its most recent Patch Tuesday, after finding a couple flaws, one of which could cause antivirus programs to not work correctly.
Apple contractor ramps up hiring. In the latest sign that customer Apple is gearing up for production of a new iPhone, Apple device manufacturer Foxconn Technology Group has resumed hiring assembly-line workers in China, reports the WSJ's Lorraine Luk. Apple is expected to begin production of the next version of the smartphone in the second quarter, people familiar with production plans said this month. A less-expensive iPhone could also accompany the new model.
China's Alibaba moves into mobile OS. China's Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. said it would promote its own smartphone operating system through subsidies to handset makers and a $160 million funding program for app developers, possibly reigniting a fight with Google, the WSJ's Juro Osawa reports. Alibaba said that five Chinese handset makers—Konka Group Co., Amoi Technology Co., G'Five International Ltd., Shenzhen Zopo Communications Equipment Ltd. and Beijing Little Chilli Technology Co.'s Little Pepper brand—would release a total of six phone models powered by Alibaba's operating system.
Higher-speed Wi-Fi? Not so fast. A faster wireless standard, called 802.11ac, will hit the market this year, giving users the power to download a television show's entire season in less than a minute, reports the WSJ's Drew Fitzgerald. Yet most Web surfers won't enjoy the benefit of those wireless speeds owing to the limitations of the country's broadband infrastructure. "The limit is not the wireless distribution in the home," Forrester Research Inc. analyst Charles Golvin said. "The limit is the cable going back." Businesses like office buildings and convention centers are likely to adopt the technology first, analysts say. Such venues benefit from new equipment because each new Wi-Fi standard develops better ways to manage the interference caused by many devices talking at once.
China adjusts to economic downshift. The days of miracles appear to be over in China, write the WSJ's James T. Areddy and Tom Orlik. After three decades of annual economic growth in China averaging around 10%, many industries are now adjusting to more austere times. New Presdient Xi Jinping set the tone for a downshift with actions that appeared to equate indulgence with corruption. Less indulgence by officials "may be the largest factor" in dragging down first quarter growth, according to Lu Ting, China economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch; 10 million of them carry government-issued credit cards that, on average, rack up annual spending of about $5,800, or a total of $58 billion. The new austerity is deflating luxury markets for art, liquor, entertainment and clothing.
Corporate tax breaks equal to revenue in 2011. U.S. corporations received $181 billion in income tax breaks in 2011 — as much as they paid in taxes, according the GAO. The majority of the forgone revenue stems from two breaks alone — accelerated depreciation for capital investment and the ability to defer U.S. taxes on profits earned overseas, Bloomberg notes. Measured in constant dollars, the $181 billion was the largest total for corporate tax breaks in any year since at least 1986, when Congress last rewrote the U.S. tax code. Read the GAO report on corporate expenditures (PDF).
S&P may change the way it rates some top corporate debt. Standard & Poor's may change the way it rates the debt of companies and financial institutions that have higher ratings than the country where they are based, CFO Journal's Emily Chasan reports. The ratings firm is seeking public comments to clarify its rules for rating corporate debt above its home country's sovereign debt. For example, the proposal would specifically test whether S&P believes a company would default in a stress scenario where its country has defaulted. The firm would also adopt a framework to explain how many notches a corporate rating could be above its country's ratings.

Russell Brand, Lyric Theatre - review
Brand is back: as playful as ever, the newly single Hollywood star waxes lyrical in an off the cuff work-in-progress
Related Articles
Published: 14 May 2012
"Nice here, innit." Russell Brand's first London show since his divorce from Katy Perry found him in high spirits and as playful as ever. He had no sooner walked onstage than he had stepped off it into the audience, asking for the lights to be turned on so that he could assess his female fans: "I'm single now, it matters," he chuckled seductively.
This gig was a work-in-progress, but that did not stop it from selling out within an hour. Nor did that stop it from being hilarious in parts. The charismatic bearded star was dressed down in plain grey trousers and T-shirt, but there was nothing grey about his patter. He colourfully discussed allegations about John Travolta, teasingly mocked the Lyric's grubby set for their current production Three Kingdoms and, most fruitfully, re-enacted his recent talk about drugs in front of the Home Affairs Select Committee, revealing that Noel Gallagher said his cowboy-and-leather look made him resemble "WWF wrestler The Undertaker".
What Brand did not do, however, was joke about his marriage. Though he did say that his cat Morrissey seems happier now it is just the two of them again. In other news he is chums with Tom Cruise following their appearance together in the movie Rock of Ages and he is currently making a Comic Relief documentary about the perils of addiction following the death of his friend Amy Winehouse, who he described, affectionately, as a "poor cow".
Most of all Brand was his trademark fascinating mass of contradictions, a witty Oscar Wilde-quoting thinker offering intimate sex tips despite his mother being in the audience. Having bemoaned the cultural subjugation of women in society he said goodbye and offered to sign women's breasts in the bar. Welcome back Russell.

Part 2 of cyber!bunny Apocalypse 'verse (tumblr)
There's a reason the Ebon Empire stopped trying to make cybernetically enhanced trolls.
They all went insane.
In which AR discovers that kidnapping rarely solves more problems than it creates, Mituna breaks out of a lab (with some help), and Seb continues to take good care of his Bro.
Pairings: AR/Lil' Seb (bros); AR/Kankri; Mituna/Latula; AR/Mituna (pale)Excerpt: "…Did you just call me condescending. Is that seriously a thing you did."
Ch 8:
You learn three things about Kankri Vantas by watching him sunrunning.
He's good at this, movements focused and athletic in a way you hadn't expected. He hugs the shadows and darts across patches of light, adapting his path on the fly to take full advantage of cover without ever once stopping or falling behind. You can't exactly call it graceful, but there's an efficiency and forethought of movement that reminds you of parkour.
He's quiet, which is something else you weren't expecting. Silent, actually, which is so surreal your eyes keep going back to him just to check that he's still with you.
Inspired by the rich gold and black of Dolce and Gabbana's A/W 2012 collection, I saw this fabric and knew it was meant to be. Just finished over Thanksgiving weekend, it's been a great relief since I haven't sewn anything this ambitious in a long time.
holy fuck
The infinite patience of dogs.

I know this feeling
notbecauseofvictories#some have entertained angels unawares #but others get this—seraphim crashing on your couch (metaphorically of course; they wouldn't fit on a sofa) #with their hundred hundred wings beating the air lazily; their beryllium eyes shut #"you should get a place" you may tell them over breakfast. "not that you aren't always welcome; but don't you want somewhere to call your #own?" #but the seraphim merely blinks; eyes sparking; and goes back to coaxing the coffee maker not to burn your morning caffiene high #(they don't understand property you see; don't understand the concept of owning a piece of the dust—earth is humanity's birthright #and all else is god's) #(…yes even them; their wings; their eyes; the half-burnt coffee on their 7-dimensional tongue) #(you do not need to have a place of your own when you yourself are not your own; silly human) #(so the seraphim keep dragging themselves in at 2am; starlight caught in their feathers and whiskey on their breath; whispering #"are you up? are you up? the kingdom of god is at hand—come and kiss me" #before collapsing back onto the sofa; wings fluttering in the angelic approximation of helpless giggles) #(…it turns out seraphim do indeed fit on the couch; with just enough room for one sleep-deprived human #waiting for the kingdom of god to arrive) #a glory of angels #the city is full of wings
Oh my gosh this is legit one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life! This is SO COOL, seriously just click on it, oh my gosh.

It's been heard through the grapevine that the 2013 Lexus GS F Sport models will bear similar cosmetic characteristics to the $400,000 LFA supercar, but it gets even better. Lexus GS chief engineer Yoshihiko Kanamori has hinted to GoAuto that therer will be a GS F and it will not only resemble the LFA, but possibly carry a version of the 4.8-liter V-10 found in the supercar.
Mr. Kanamori said Lexus never planned to carry on with the V-10 project, but that it was "technically feasible to fit the engine into the new GS." Further proving the idea has been seriously pondered, he said the engine would have to be detuned to deliver more torque instead of power.
"But I am not sure," he said. "We have some plan for the next F model."
Such uncertainty is not necessarily a bad sign. The IS F sports sedan also started off as just a side project, and it seems as though the V-10 GS F is headed down the same path. Another factor helping the situation is the fact the V-8-powered GS460 is being dropped from lineup.
The Lexus team is currently preparing the GS F Sport models set to appear later in the year, and offered a peek at what those models may look like in a presentation slide at Pebble Beach. Given a more aggressive appearance, the F models will have LFA characteristics found in the LF-Gh concept, with the 'spindle-grille' looking meaner with a partly blacked-out bar across the center of the main opening.
The standard GS450h hybrid is headed to the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and while staying tight-lipped about in-depth details, Mr. Kanamori spoke rather highly about it. He said it would "outperform" the current GS hybrid. That shouldn't require much — the current GS450h hits 0-60 in 5.9 seconds (0.1 seconds slower than the GS460) with its 3.5-liter V-6 engine and 650-volt electric motor. The advances Lexus is making with hybrid technology is the sole reason the V-8 is being dropped from Lexus' lineup altogether.
But of course, let's not forget about the plug-in hybrid version of the GS350, which is also scheduled to bow at the Frankfurt, and make it to production a lot sooner than previously thought. Mr. Kanamori said, "We should be starting to think about it in the current model life."

I'm trying to eat salad for one meal a day until Christmas (usually lunch). Hoping that this, combined with a bunch of running, will help me shed a few pounds during the crazy holiday season (I'm also cutting back a bit on meat, cheese and white carbs, though nothing's off limits). We'll see if it works. Regardless, I love salad, so this barely feels like a diet, and I'm working grain salads into the mix as well. This was a combination of random leftovers and odds and ends.
Leftover Turkey? Here are Some Ideas
I love Thanksgiving leftovers, both for sandwiches and for new recipe creations. Only took home about 2 cups of turkey from Ohio this year, so I didn't experiment quite as much this year. Here's what I made, along with some other leftover turkey recipe ideas from year's past. Next year, I'm making Pioneer Woman's turkey spring rolls, and turkey tacos, dammit.
Turkey Matzoh Ball Soup (whipped this up today)
Cajun Chicken Salad (but with turkey – currently in the fridge)
Turkey Tetrazzini (made this while still in Ohio for the family)
Last year's creations: Turkey Chow Mein, Turkey Gumbo
David Chang recipes: Turkey Cracklings, Soy-Braised Turkey with Turkey Rice
Greek Turkey Soup (my friend Rachel whipped out this old classic this year and says it still holds up)
Turkey Pho (this recipe also works with pork)
Filed under poultry
Mom's Meat Stuffing
This is one of those Thanksgiving classics that was always on our dinner table growing up. As a kid, I would inhale the meat stuffing and ignore the bread stuffing. As an adult, I'm much more addicted to the bread-y stuff (or even better, bread stuffing with sausage), but this still brings back memories. I threw it together for my mom this year while she was working on other dishes, so the recipe's fresh in my mind. It's an easy one.
Filed under beef dishes
Soba Noodles with Spicy Cumin Lamb
I thought this recipe was ok, but not great (a little sweet for me). John liked it a lot,though. If anything, though, it's a good reminder to use lamb in stir fries occasionally. I substituted oyster sauce for hoisin because I don't care for the latter.
Filed under lamb dishes
Quick-Pickled Korean Carrots
So Bibimbap is quickly becoming my favorite breakfast/favorite way to use up leftovers. I made these this morning so I could throw them together with leftover steak, egg, rice etc. They're pretty good, and they should get even better in the fridge (not sure how long they'll last, though).
Filed under ingredients, vegetarian
Chicken, Quinoa and Kale Soup with Bacon
If you thought this sounds like Cooking Light threw together all the trendy ingredients randomly into one recipe, you'd essentially be accurate (they admitted as much in the magazine). In general, I thought this was fine, but not particularly exciting. The carrot flavor was pretty pronounced. I'd store the quinoa separately in the future because it sops up so much liquid.
Filed under soup
Apple Chips
These are kind of good, and kind of weird. They're also tricky.
So basically, I dehydrated apple slices in our food dehydrator. The guide says you have to dip them in lemon juice for 2 minutes so they don't turn color. I did this, but the overall flavor is quite citrusy (maybe this is because I used lime juice for some of them because I ran out of lemon?). Also, they take forever. Like, almost 24 hours in the dehydrator for some of the pieces. Granted, some of them are because I didn't slice them thin enough, but still.
That said, I like that they actually still taste apple-y, and they're a convenient healthy snack.

92% of the CEO
Joe Echevarria
I worked at Deloitte full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Many different consulting opportunities. Lower-level managers seemed to be very concerned about your direction in the company as well as how the company views you. The company looks good on a resume.
Cons – Management prefers Ivy League socialites. Have to drink the Kool Aid if you want any chance at a promotion. Actually got docked on a performance review for NOT socializing enough despite the fact I had work to do.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't brag on conference calls that there's no money for bonuses when the company had record profits.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Deloitte full-time for more than a year
Pros – plenty of learning opportunities for junior staff
Cons – need to spend lots of time networking in order to find projects
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
I have been working at Deloitte full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – -Access to smart, accomplished professionals
-World-class client base
-Variety of projects that allow you the opportunity to make a real impact on your clients' organizations
-Firm's emphasis and commitment to training and development
Cons – -Need to be willing to make some work-life balance tradeoffs
-Up or out culture that's only forgiving to a point
Advice to Senior Management – Do a better job trying to identify and manage burnout of practitioners
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Deloitte full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Abuntant opportunities within company and client engagements.
Cons – Large portion of performance review dependant on extra curricular. Evidence of a solid org culture, but pulls away from focus on client success at times - was my reason for leaving, to contribute more to client success without distraction
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Deloitte full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – You have ample learning and development opportunities, and you will work with interesting, smart people. You will gain useful experience in management consulting, which you can use in any profession.
Cons – You will have no life outside of Deloitte. Yes, on paper you have five weeks of vacation - but you will quickly learn of the dirty word, "utilization," which ensures that you never get to take a proper vacation. Not that you would have any time anyway - not only are projects poorly staffed, so that often you'll be working long hours, but you will need to add on an extra 10 or so hours of "firm activities" to your work week.
However, the worst aspect is the poor matching of consultants to projects, with little thought to whether the consultant can actually do the job. Oh, you're a senior consultant? Then you're supposed to "figure it out." Eventually, most consultants land on horrible projects, receive poor ratings, and are forever tainted. The leadership line that x consultant "received a poor performance rating and then turned it around" is a cruel joke and doesn't match reality. And, it's worse in Federal now that sequestration and shutdowns have hit. Forget taking risks or trying something new to get experience - just keep your head down and do your work.
The performance process also is a joke. It all depends on timing - if you had a poor project rating early on, then landed on a project where you did well, you'll be okay; if your final project rating is poor, then that's what leadership rates you on - and good luck trying to overcome that bad rating. You'll be gone before you know it. Also, the process is only as good as the managers on the project - if the managers are poor, and they blame you for your "poor performance" on your project evaluation, then you have no recourse for getting a fair evaluation. There is "best practice," which Deloitte leadership espouses to follow, and there is reality.
Finally, Deloitte changed its compensation structure last year to lean increasingly on variable pay, which means you are screwed if a.) you do poorly; b.) your department does poorly; or c.) the firm does poorly. You assume more of the risk, and if you go elsewhere, your base pay will be lower and you will have more trouble negotiating a higher salary. Thank you, Deloitte.
Advice to Senior Management – Get serious about the poisonous culture that's developed in Federal. Look around - nobody smiles, nobody is happy, and the attrition rate should be your wake-up call. Deloitte is already becoming synonymous with "sweatshop."
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Deloitte full-time for more than a year
Pros – 1- Name / brand
2- Training even though Deloitte University (DU) leadership center/training is sooooo over-rated. Rooms are first class food is good and plenty.
Cons – 1- Deloitte hires experienced and qualified people into a lower level than other big 4s
2- Deloitte benefits are great but good luck using all your PTO without being penalized by year end. Work-life balance is bad. You have to work at least 45+ hours a week to meet your targeted work hours. This does not include other internal Firm work.
3- Deloitte pay is low compared to industry and considering the other non-client/ Firm contributions such as proposal work you have to do and trainings you have to give
4- Career growth is very slow and is basically based on if they 'like' you or don't 'like' you. It's not based on your actual work and experience.
5- Performance reviews are based on 'quota' set for each project. That is how many will receive a 2, 3,4, or 5 rating at the end of the year. Performance reviews are top-down and not based on a 360 review which I believe is not fair.
6- You pay for commuting to client-site while on a project. My commute on some projects cost me over $575 a month which are non-expensable/re-reimbursable
7- Politics as it is in almost all other organizations/corporations
8- You're assigned on projects based on who you know and not what you know. I was lucky I never sat on the bench/beach but that I believe is unfair.
Advice to Senior Management – 1- Review the performance review process
2- Review compensation structure and package
3- Allow bottum-up sharing of ideas and be open to ideas
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Deloitte full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Deloitte doesn't focus on your title - you get more responsibility when you take it.
Cons – There is a large culture here for doing work outside of your project - "firm eminence" - that will hurt you if you don't participate. You need to spend 200+ extra hours a year working on proposals, white papers, etc.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
I worked at Deloitte full-time for more than a year
Pros – Flat organizational model, Interactive atmosphere, flexible hours, work from home, Federal Consulting Opportunities
Cons – competitive, very long hours. Poorly communicated expectations in job details. Obtuse job descriptions to encompass all and nothing. Outdated job aids, rewards individual contributions to projects rather than team efforts.
Advice to Senior Management – Less emails and con calls. Rely on training staff from the top down on the proper communication channels. set expectations for discussions to stay on task and focus time for functionality.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
I have been working at Deloitte full-time for more than a year
Pros – Culture of hard work and mentorship
Excellent training and certification opportunities
Opportunities to work with talented people
Opportunity to be exposed to management issues as a young professional
Cons – Large projects can feel hierarchical
Performance evaluation process can be confusing
Promotion timelines can feel rigid
Project staffing process can be frustrating
Advice to Senior Management – Make the project staffing project easier for junior staff to navigate.
Give junior staff the opportunities to advance their promotion timelines if they can demonstrate competency at the next level
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Deloitte full-time for more than a year
Pros – Ample growth opportunities; an excellent work place for go-getters; some of the smartest people you'll ever work with
Cons – Firm contributions are required (about 200-300 hours annually, if you're looking to fast-track for a promotion). Applicants should be experts at time management, if they are hoping to have any work-life balance.
Advice to Senior Management – The company structure can be confusing for newcomers; needs more transparency
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pocket Squares: A Discussion Thread, Questions, Opinions, Suggestions..... - Page 218
Styleforum Top Picks
I have the Great Wave on my profile pic and here:
It's incredibly versatile, depending on how you fold it you can either have white, cream, grey, light blue, dark blue, brown or a combination of those colors. Here I chose for a combination of cream, light blue and grey.
Thanks for posting the pic - that really helps get a sense for how to best use these Kent Wang prints. Seems like the Lindisfarne Gospels would be more useful for me and it is one I never would have considered. Although, I really like the Great Wave print.
Looking for advice.
I am new to the pocket square art.
I saw this pocket square in a store (sorry for the quality of the picture). It is a silk pocket square with a nice green background and small white polka dots. Would you recommend this square? Should this go with a crisp white dress shirt? Are the small white polka dots visible enough to coordinate with such a shirt? I don't wear ties often, except for work, so I am looking for a pocket square that somehow coordinates with the shirt. But I don't see myself wearing a green shirt anytime soon. Sp could this pocket square also be worn with a light blue shirt?
This pocket square is quite expensive, so I need to be sure before I make any decision to purchase.
Thank you for reading.
I am thinking of buying a silk green pocket square with small white polka dots. I am not planning to use a tie, just sport coat and shirt.
Would this go with a white shirt? Light blue shirt?
This square is quite expensive for my budget so I need to know if it is worth the purchase thank you.
Sorry for the quality of the picture.
I don't like small dots on squares. Squares like that resolve into a solid colour from a distance and thus look bad. Read back through this read: there's plenty of warning against squares such as the one you've chosen; and there's plenty of advice on what sort of designs make the best squares.

The event marks a milestone in the development of LRIT. ITM has been participating with the on the development of LRIT and in particular with the development of the LRIT shipborne equipment testing. The completion of the first LRIT conformance tests show the high quality and innovative operational standards of the ITM fleet.
Lars Modin, Managing Director of ITM stated, "We are extremely pleased to be the first operator to be tested and certified under this new legislation. We are now well placed to respond to the demands of our clients and their requirements for LRIT compliance." He was keen to stress the benefits of testing early using Pole Star's LRIT conformance test. "Being able to test our equipment early meant we were able to resolve any issues with terminals early. The technical standards of this test combined with the fact that Pole Star is an approved tester for several maritime administrations helped enormously with the planning and management of our vessels, all of which contributes to our commitment to this regulation. With 100,000 terminals to be tested between now and December, we knew we couldn't afford to wait."

Stabbing case man in custody
11:50am Wednesday 18th September 2013 in News
A 25-YEAR-OLD who is accused of stabbing a man at a Toothill house has been remanded in custody by a judge.
Tefferson Page appeared at Swindon crown court by videolink from Bristol prison facing a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
It is alleged that he assaulted 46-year-old Winston Booth in the early hours of August 17.
No charge was put to Page, of Kirkstall Close, Toothill, and he did not enter a plea during the brief hearing.
Recorder Jonathan Fuller QC adjourned the case to November 22 and remanded him in custody until then.
Police were called to the address in Toothill at about 3.24am on the Saturday morning to reports of a stabbing.

In the September "How to Spend It" magazine the Financial Times noted that some of the most exclusive properties in the worlds most enviable locations are now for sale on a fractional basis.
Under the headline "Divide and Drool", the article notes that if for instance you had a house in the Bahamas, a chalet in the Alps and an apartment in Paris then these expensive residences would spend most of their time lying idle. What's more with fractional ownership you could buy a share in each of them for the cost of just one of them, and they'd be hassle free with all the upkeep and staffing problems taken care of by management. in the words of the FT "The fact that many of the fractional owners could afford to own the whole place is beside the point - they don't want to. They don't want the hassle." These sentiments very much echo the reasons to buy a private residence club or luxury fractional that we've written about.
The FT article goes on to profile several fractional properties around the world including Florence and Tuscany, South Africa, Napa Valley and Aspen. They also interviewed David Burden, CEO of Timbers Resorts who gave an update on the resale values of some of his developments. "For instance, at our Timbers Resort at Snowmass outside Aspen Colorado, the one eight shares of the three bedroom condos that we sold for $279,000 in 2002 are now selling for $470,000."
The full article can be found on page 54 of the print magazine or on page 60 of the electronic version on FT.com.

A literature study was conducted to contribute to an adequate use of quality of life (QoL) instruments for the evaluation of interventions in dementia care by providing an overview of properties of QoL measures that acknowledge domains important to dementia patients.
Domains important to patients, and domains that professional caregivers in different settings focus on, are compared to domains represented in nine QoL instruments. Data on psychometrics and applicability are generated.
Four instruments best represent domains of QoL important to patients and domains professional caregivers in 24-h care and daytime activities focus on. Two are self-rating instruments: Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life, applicable in mild dementia, measuring individual QoL of patient and informal caregiver, and Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease Scale, which can be applied up to moderately severe dementia. For patients with advanced dementia receiving residential care, the observational instruments Qualidem and Discomfort scale-Dementia of Alzheimer Type are recommended. The first is easily administered by nurse assistants or occupational therapists and covers several QoL domains on which they focus in daily practice. The second can be used by various professionals.
QoL assessment provides a format for patients and (in)formal caregivers to express whether an intervention has made an important difference to the patient's life. Improvement of QoL in dementia should have high priority in care, treatment and research. This study shows that severity of dementia, care type, setting, and the specific QoL domains an intervention focuses on, determine which QoL instrument is most appropriate in a specific situation.
