I think another reason the concept of inertial mass is discouraged is because as I have demonstrated above, the inertial mass and gravitational mass of an object are not the same and yet the equivalence principle is often stated in the form "inertial mass and gravitational mass are equivalent", which seams to be a contradiction to my claims. I think all that is meant by the phrase "inertial mass and gravitational mass are equivalent" is that in a small closed lab, force and acceleration due to an artificial source is indistinguishable from that due to a gravitational source. The confusion brought about by the unclear exact meaning of the phrase "inertial mass and gravitational mass are equivalent" needs to be clarified and not simply ignored and swept under the carpet by claiming that there is no such thing as relativistic inertial mass. The fact that inertial mass and gravitational mass are different things is inescapable as shown by the calculations above. The maths tells the truth.
I like what you are doing, yuiop.
A fundamental epistemologic rule is that analogies (and all knowledge is based on analogies…) are created for a given practical purpose, to play a function. Hence they are valid in as much as such function so requires, but not beyond that boundary. The dogmatic approach forgets the function and tries to apply the letter of the analogy to the last consequences, no matter how absurd they end up being. That is the case of the Prince faced with Cinderella's stepdaughter, who has trimmed her foot to fit it into the slipper, ie she fits into the letter but not in the spirit (the pragmatic function) of the concept. However, a dogmatic Prince would cry: I have to marry her, they are equivalent for all purposes, to all effects! And if Cinderella's father happened to force his foot into the slipper by accident, the dogmatic scientist would still mount him on his horse, marry him and in the wedding bed, when the poor man protested "I am a man!", our blind Prince would still insist (remember the final scene of "Some like it hot") "Nobody is perfect…".
Coming back to the point, I fully agree that all this requires some work of conceptual clarification. I am not the most qualified for this purpose, but let me make some clumsy tries.
There shoud be no problem with categorising the concept of inertial mass as a relative concept (just like time or length), as long as one understands what that means: different frames get different results about the mass of a body not because the body changes as a result of the observation (it will still have the same number of atoms) but only because the different frames, in the course of their respective measurements, interact differently with such body. (In particular, if the measurement involves the acceleration of the body, which in turn includes time and the latter is a frame-dependent concept…)
In turn, as you point out, active gravitational mass may be an invariant concept. The two concepts are thus equivalent for many purposes, but not in this particular respect.
However, I am not sure that this distinction (variant versus invariant) is so clear as it should be and I am especially not sure that the clarification derives from pure mathematics. Actually, if we say, for example, that proper time is invariant, because the proper frame measures it and the other frame "calculates" it through an equation, then we could also say the same about coordinate time: one frame measures it and the other calculates it through a formula. I think that what we try to say is rather that proper time reflects what has happened in fact: a clock has ticked a number of times (ie a number of events have happened) between two limiting events. That is reality and nobody can discuss it. It is not that the proper frame is privileged, it is just that it is better placed to obtain a direct calculation, a direct measurement in this particular case (the clock in question is at rest with it).
The same applies to your example. An object cannot become a black hole due to observation. Yes, of course. But not because active gravitational mass can be mathematically calculated from any frame. It is the other way round: that cannot be because it'd be absurd, it would clash with the principle of reality and, once this is settled, we rule that it is an invariant concept (if you wish) but *in the sense that* any frame other than the proper frame, if it wants to learn what has really happened, is forced to make calculations and seek the proper concept, which is the key to the solution.
Because otherwise, only on the basis of algebra and without the constraint of reality, could not I perfectly argue the following?: "No, you are mistaken, you think that you are not in a black hole, but make the appropriate calculations and learn that *you are* in such and such frame, but *you are not* in this or that frame and both things are true…"
But please proceed with your calculations, because apart from this small comment, I fully agree with them and think they are very illustrative.

Revelation 21:1–6a; John 11:32-44
Many churches, including mine, will mark All Saints Day this Sunday. Of course, politics will also be on everyone's mind. At first it seemed to me that the two have little in common, but then several connections occurred to me.
Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18; Psalm 149; Ephesians 1:11-23; Luke 6:20-31
Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-9 or Isaiah 25:6-9; Psalm 24; Revelation 21:1-6a; John 11:32-44
Revelation 7:9-17; Psalm 34:1-10, 22; 1 John 3:1-3; Matthew 5:1-12
John 11:32-44; Revelation 21:1-6a
We can scarcely imagine life without tears. We come into the world crying, and when we are hungry or wet or not held enough—no matter how old we are—we cry. Tears come unbidden to us when we are moved by beauty or by someone's kindness to us. I often cry when a good book or movie has a sad ending, and I cry at a happy ending too. I even cry at Hallmark TV ads.
Revelation 7:9-17
I was in Cuba this summer on a mission trip, when our host pastor, Héctor Méndez, approached me, his face grave and drawn. "They have attacked a Presbyterian hospital and school in Pakistan," he said, "and people have been killed."

The Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco, California, is a popular feature of Golden Gate Park, originally built as part of a sprawling World's Fair, the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894. For more than 20 years San Francisco Parks Trusts' Park Guides have given free tours to San Francisco Parks trust members, providing context and history for this historic Japanese-style garden. After the conclusion of the World's Fair, Makoto Hagiwara, a Japanese immigrant and gardener, approached John McLaren with the idea to convert the temporary exhibit into a permanent park.
Hagiwara personally oversaw the building of the Japanese Tea Garden and was official caretaker of the garden from 1895 to 1925. He specifically requested that one thousand flowering cherry trees be imported from Japan, as well as other native plants, birds, and the now famous goldfish. His family lived in and maintained the Japanese Tea Garden until 1942, when Executive Order 9066 forced them to leave San Francisco and relocate to an internment camp with thousands of other Japanese American families. The garden was renamed the 'Oriental Tea Garden', and the garden fell into disarray.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/21/2014Service is seriously lacking. There were more wait staff than diners and they still couldn't get our order right. The actual waitress was the one who messed up repeatedly and then she never showed up again until the end of the meal to drop off the (expensive) check, with no acknowledgement of the mistakes. Also, we don't need our water glasses refilled every 30 seconds just because you're not busy. I'd rather have the right food at the right time.Special Features:
- Uneven but overall good lunch spotDesertDaveDined on 7/17/2014We lunched on a quiet Thursday at noon. There were only a handful of occupied tables inside and out. We chose to eat inside due to very hot climate (105 degrees), which provided a lovely view of the landscaped grounds of the Parker property and patio area. Menu is varied, and we were delighted to find out that the breakfast items were still available. We enjoyed a lobster omelette and a Cobb Salad; both were very good, but a bit bland; needed more seasoning (but 2 types of hot sauce were brought to the table). Service was prompt, professional and friendly. The small smoothie of the day was a welcome treat. Yes, this restaurant is a bit pricing ($25 for the omelette), but it IS lobster....in California.Special Features:
- Do not hesitate...pkeenanVIPDined on 7/3/2014Each and every time we venture to Palm Springs we always, always grab a bite at Norma's and tour the grounds of the Parker. It's very unique and embodies all that is good about Palm Springs. Go to the hip and splurge. You will not regret it.Special Features:
- GoodHlapuzDined on 6/27/2014Second time coming to Norma's, this time around with my daughter and my husband and we all enjoyed our meals. Very kid friendly and was a nice outdoor dining experience. The food was yummy and service was great! Would recommend Normas while visiting the Parker.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite huevos rancherosMickeyVIPDined on 6/24/2014we love brunch at Norma's; their egg dishes and their potato pancakes are superb and we always enjoy their smoothie of the day. Service is personal and very professional and, now, with Chef Herve, it can only get better! (if that's possible)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 156 reviews are from the Norma's - Parker Palm Springs reviews archive.
- DisappointmentArtGuyDined on 6/2/2014I adore the Parker and have been to Mr Parker's at previous restaurant weeks and enjoyed it. I expect the hefty prices but not mediocre food and terrible service. Despite being nearly empty at 7:30 pm I first got the wrong appetizer, so my friend was finished with her first course before I received mine.Then the waiter apologized for the long wait (45 mins to an hour?) for the main course (mushy fish) but mentioned knocking something off the tab, and I half seriously/half jokingly said "how about more wine?", which was ignored. As was his mention of a lower price. $50 for the lower priced restaurant week prix fixe and a glass of wine? Puh-lease
- Breakfast LoveHappyDiner4Dined on 3/13/2014At our recent our breakfast we were very well looked after by our fabulous waiter Tito. He was very friendly and welcoming and also provided great menu choice suggestions . Our breakfast was delicious and Tito kept the strong coffee flowing. The setting was ideal on the outdoor patio on a warm sunny morning. The people watching was fascinating. I would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mid Century RestaurantPalmoasisDined on 3/1/2014I'd heard so much about The Parker because I'm a modernism buff but the ambiance didn't cry out to me. The waiter and car guys were darling. Waiter even told us the history of the place and did a great job. He was so, so pleasant. Because of the rain there was no outdoor seating and I think I would have given The Parker a higher rating had we sat outside. It was just so loud we could hardly hear one another....really loud, so if you go, ask for an outside seat on the patio. My fish tacos were good, fish they broiled for me and it was wonderful, just a little skimpy. Also the gal who seated us really tried to put us in a quiet corner.Special Features:
- Great food and people watchingfoodforthoughtVIPDined on 2/16/2014Food is surprisingly good, service is very good and people watching is great.Special Features:
- Lovely setting, fine service,DinerVIPDined on 2/8/2014Lovely setting, fine service, mixed reviews on our lunches, with some in our group happier than others. Lobster mac and cheese very rich, spicy shrimp quesadilla delicious, tuna salad sandwich bland and too much mayo.Special Features:
- Great patio for morning coffeeBajaDined on 2/4/2014Great patio for morning coffee and indulgent sweet breakfast treats. Also, great place to walk after you eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Past Its PrimeAnnePVIPDined on 12/30/2013below average food, lackluster service... has seen better days! My third (and last) time at Norma's. Waitress was over it. The one dish she liked (fish tacos) was terrible - tortillas had not even been warmed up from the bag! My husband asked what kind of whiskey's they had.... she didn't know. He asked if she could check at the bar, she said she would write down as many as she could. Results? "Wild Turkey, Jack Daniels and some other fancy ones." Had to flag someone to order another round of drinks After our appetizers, brought entrees without having bussed the starters (or first round of drinks). Custom milkshakes were terrible. One fell on floor and me, NO ONE ever came over to see if we were OK or if they could help.
- Back againScottyDined on 12/16/2013With the menu at Mr. Parker's remaining stagnant we've started coming to Norma's. Food is awesome and plentiful. Service is attentive and personable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The menu is more suited for1668ELDined on 10/12/2013The menu is more suited for lunch, brunch or lighter dining. Found the menu limited for dinner. .Special Features:
- Great Find for Breakfast or LunchsamdeeVIPDined on 10/12/2013The food and service at Norma's meet the price. The menu selection is very good with something for everyone. You can't go wrong with any of the entrees and they are large portions meant to be shared. The smoothie of the day is always a treat to start your meal and really sets the tone for the remainder of the dining experience. We had breakfast twice at Norma's while staying at the Parker and both times exceeded our expectations for breakfast. Make sure you dine here when in Palm Springs as you won't regret it. The blueberry pancakes are some of the best we have ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- i dream of Norma'sjavalipDined on 10/11/2013Once again, Norma's did not dissapoint. We had breakfast two days in a row. On day one, the Eggs Florentine was beyond delightful and tasted heavenly. The lobster eggs seems a little dry. Also, the coffee wasn't quite hot enough. Day two, the berry french toast was divine and the sweetness melted in and around the plethora of blueberries. My fruit ring was fresh, but the papaya was green. This time the coffee was perfectly HOT! Tracy our server made us feel like we belonged and raised the bar on service!Special Features:
- Home Away From HomeMangiaMadnessDined on 6/30/2013Everytime I'm in Palm Springs, I make it a point to go to Norma's - they NEVER disappoint!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second Time Was As Good!pshouse1Dined on 6/28/2013The second time at this restaurant was as good as the first, and the service was even better. Great location for any time of day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty TreatyshahDined on 6/22/2013This place has a great selection of Brunch meals. I had the peanut butter waffles ... outstanding. My wife had the juevos rancheros, and man did that look good. My kids had the fresh donut balls with jam to dip in.Special Features:
- Mac n cheese!EnjoyVIPDined on 6/8/2013Stopped by the resort for a wedding venue tour. No go on the venue, but great lunch. Fiance had Lobster macncheese and it was fantastic. Really really good. I had the Ahi cobb- very good also- strong on the wasabi dressing tho. They give you a shooter of the daily smoothie when you sit down, so it helped since the wait for lunch was a little on the longer side. Service was good with the exception of the greeter who looked confused. Server was fantastic. I would go again, but just for brunch/lunchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- need to experienceps2goodDined on 6/3/2013Went because of restraunt week, great experience food and serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great placeOutAlotVIPDined on 5/13/2013Norma's is a great hotel cafe. A little expensive for what it is but the food, service and space are good. I could do with a little more then four demitasse cups of coffee from a $12 french press pot, (the same will cost $19 if you order it through room service!) but otherwise it's quite good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!BabsVIPDined on 5/13/2013Love the Jonathan Adler inspired outdoor courtyard - splendid!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I really enjoyed my lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 4/15/2013I really enjoyed my lunch at Norma's, the decor of the patio is amazing. I wish they would have brought the wine at the same time as the food... it took them a while and a few additional requests to eventually bring it over. other than that. no complain. I had a great experienceSpecial Features:
- First visit to Norma's. HadOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 4/14/2013First visit to Norma's. Had been given cookbook, so knew what to look forward to. Went with group. It was busy, but service was excellent. Loved the daily smoothie. Everyone in our group tried something different - from healthy to absolutely decadent. Everyone was happy with their meals. I tried the Wa-Za, not only beautiful presentation, but soo good and not too sweet. Other favorites - Norma's benedict and Rock lobster and asparagus omelette. Were also happy that could substitute potatoes for fruit. Looking forward to returning!!Special Features:
- One of the best brunches IOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/19/2013One of the best brunches I have ever had. Would definitely recommend it and can't wait to go back!Special Features:

- Probably the most expensiveOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/28/2013Probably the most expensive tuna salad sandwich I've ever ordered but...it was excellent as was the lobster and mango salad ordered by my spouse. The outdoor seating allows for quiet conversation and a walk through the gardens (after your brunch/lunch) is an added plus.Special Features:
- We had a delightful breakfastHappyDiner4Dined on 2/17/2013We had a delightful breakfast on the patio on a beautiful California morning. The mood was fun and lively the service was attentive. The food was outstanding and truly creative. Fabulous non-stop coffee service and interesting people watching make it a must for entertaining visiting friends.Special Features:
- This is my second time atOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/17/2013This is my second time at Norma's and if your in Palm Springs you MUST go. First reason, the breakfast is the BOMB and second to just enjoy the totally fab Parker Hotel. I never get tired of going there. Just love the decor to death! Recommend reservations for breakfast on weekend just in case it gets busy .Special Features:
- Weak on all accountsAzpenguinDined on 2/16/2013I took my girlfriend there for a nice night out. I was expecting to spend $100 plus bucks on a nice meal with good service in a hip resturant nestled in an architecturally signifigant environment. We went for dinner at 7pm Sat night on modernism weekend. The place was dead. We were one of 2 or 3 tables. The waiter was very nice but pretty green for a place like this. The menu was disapointing and unexciting. I had a meal that I could of had a Chilis or Applebees for a third of the price and it would have tasted better too. The $12 drinks were unexciting and watered down. I expected to spend over $100 and I did. However, it met none of my other expectations. Spend your money elsewhere.Special Features:
- Excellent Patio BreakfastEmilyRiverNorthVIPDined on 1/19/2013Best breakfast on a beautiful patio. A must if you are staying at the Parker! They even give you a sample of their smoothie of the day to start, and the breakfast quesidilla is outstanding!Special Features:
- Always a good mea;surfngrandmaDined on 1/14/2013This is a destination place for a good meal with all the amenities one would expect at Norma's. It is especially nice to take the time to explore the grounds and relax by the fire on a cold morning! And yes, it can get very cold in Palm Springs.Special Features:
- It is expensive for brunch.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 1/6/2013It is expensive for brunch. The food is good but I don't know if I would go back.Special Features:
- Normas as always providesSIGDinnerVIPDined on 12/23/2012Normas as always provides a whimsical getaway with excellent food and a friendly wait staff that made this celebratory moment even better. From the smoothie shots to the entrees everything was perfect. Our group had the potato pancakes which were perfect with great sauces, pancakes of several varieties and the breakfast quesadilla. We will happily return again and I highly recommend it for those interested in a great breakfast in Palm Springs.Special Features:
- Was mediocre.WellTravelledVIPDined on 12/1/2012Brunch was good. But no good enough in comparison to the bill. $100 breakfast for two. That's a bit steep. Especially considering the bloody Mary's were horrible and we didn't even drink them. We loved the space and food but I don't think we would return its simply not worth the price.Special Features:
- Beautiful scene, underwhelming eatsOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/24/2012Food was ok. Had to send our hamburger which twice, which made for a slow and awkward meal. Restaurant is beautiful and ambiance is great, but food was disappointing. The gems of the meal were the potato pancake and the breakfast smoothie.Special Features:
- Underwhelming and ExpensiveOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/10/2012Not worth the price. No one came to help us at the valet stand, and once we parked ourselves, we wandered around for 10 minutes trying to find the entrance to the restaurant. The overdone presentation just made the food harder to eat, and I'm never sure how anyone can justify charging 18 dollars for bacon and eggs. We were all also attacked by tiny birds on the patio the whole time. Bloody Mary only Meh. Go to Cheeky's instead for brunch.

With the Super Bowl quickly approaching, the weather projection keeps getting better and better.
According to the Weather Channel on Saturday, the temperature for kickoff is expected to be in the low-to-mid 40's.
Snow is no longer expected as originally feared, but there is a slight chance that there will be some patches of light rain. The sky does look like it will be cloudy, with winds between 5-10 mph.
There is a snowstorm expected to hit the east coast, but it shouldn't get far enough to the north to affect the game.
Monday however, is a different story. Snow is likely, which could be problematic for those trying to return home from the big game.
Fans should feel lucky; as the last time an NFL Championship was handed out in the Tri-State Area, the temperature was a frigid 25 degrees. The year was 1962. The game was at Yankee Stadium, pitting the New York Giants against the Green Bay Packers. With an average wind speed of 25 mph, the Giants' passing attack was nullified; and they ended up falling 16-7.
This year's Super Bowl will pit the Denver Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks. Kickoff will be at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Accessing SharePoint UserProfileService from Windows Phone 7
UPDATE: … and it wasn't long before Matthew McDermott went ahead and implemented ths as an actual sample, which you can get here.
A while back I blogged a workaroundfor accessing some ASMX services from Silverlight 4. The problem was that the guid and char types that those services return are not recognized by Silverlight and you end up with the exception below. One of the important services affected by this is SharePoint's UserProfileService, which I realize is pretty important to a lot of developers.
System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.NetDispatcherFaultException was unhandled by user code. The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter http://tempuri.org/:HelloWorldResponse. The InnerException message was 'Error in line 1 position 268. Element 'http://tempuri.org/:HelloWorldResult' contains data of the 'http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/:guid'data contract. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this contract. Add the type corresponding to 'guid' to the list of known types - for example, by using the KnownTypeAttribute attribute or by adding it to the list of known types passed to DataContractSerializer.'. Please see InnerException for more details.
(Same goes for http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/:char)
We have already fixed this issue and you will not need the workaround anymore in the next version of Silverlight.
In implementing the workaround, I used an IClientMessageInspector, which unfortunately is only available starting in Silverlight 4. So all of our developers using Silverlight 3 (and in particular folks writing apps for Windows Phone 7) cannot use the workaround.
Fortunately, there is a way to "fake" an IClientMessageInspector on older versions of Silverlight, and I wrote a sample for that back in the Silverlight 2 days. So combining these two samples together, you can be on your way:
- Create a "fake" IClientMessageInspector like in this sample
- Use the IClientMessageInspector implementation that treats the guid and char types emitted by ASMX from this sample.
Hopefully this will unblock folks out there, if there is significant interest here I can create a combined sample that shows the whole thing end-to-end.

Hip Hatchet - Coward's Luck EP
Posted in
@ 12-12-2011
Coward's Luck EP by Hip Hatchet
One of the finest artists i have stumbled upon this year is
Hip Hatchet
. His slightly raw voice, accompanied by acoustic guitars is of sheer beauty. Earlier this year i wrote a discomforting 2-liner on a demo he has just released back then & it feels a little as if i should make up for that. Eversince i've been keeping track of him via twitter, where he has proven to be a fun person and this weekend he announced the release of a new 3-track EP, and it is as pretty as you would've expected based on previous knowledge. I've been playing it just about non-stop over the last 24hrs and still can't get enough of it. 2 acoustic guitars, his great voice and 3 killer songs is 'all' it takes to write a great EP.
I'm truly glad i haven't started on my 2011-yearlists for best albums/EPs, this might just make the EP-shortlist on the break. An addictive little masterpiece!

The waning days of summer
are the saddest of the year,
nature wears a solemn face
as dying time draws near.
One by one the flowers fade
as life slows to a crawl,
nature seems to sense its fate
when summer turns to fall.
How I wish it wasn't so,
but summer cannot last,
fall is racing close behind
in front of winter's blast.
Our lives are like the seasons,
death comes to one and all,
what will then become of me
when summer turns to fall.

I am in my second trimester and wondering, is it safe to use Latisse as directed, on my eyelashes?
Can Pregnant Women Use Latisse?
Doctor Answers (3)
Would not Advise
We physicians seem to get this sort of question a lot on Real Self.
I, and I vouchsafe, all physicians are very cautious during pregnancy. We always look at the risk/benefit ratio when determining whether a drug should be used during pregnancy. Since the benefit is purely cosmetic, the risk easily outweighs any benefit. Thus, I would wait until you have delivered your baby. Then you can use Latisse, providing you will not be nursing.
And congratulations!!
Latisse and Pregnancy
Latisse and Pregnancy
Latisse has NOT been tested on pregnant women and therefore should not be used until you ask your OB/GYN and receive the okay from your doctor. Always better to be cautious and talk to your doctor first.

Those huge knitting needles cracked me up!!! Way cool!
I love the pouf, too--but the designer's website is AWFUL. Not user friendly AT ALL.

"European Oncology & Haematology is a nice journal, which combines high-level scientific content with great presentation....
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has evolved from an entity for which no treatment options were available 10 years ago to one where several treatment options are now beneficial. These include:
• growth factors—erythropoietin (EPO) ± granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF);
• lenalidomide—US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for low-risk MDS transfusion dependence and 5q abnormality;
• immunotherapy with anti-thymocyte globulins (ATG), cyclosporine A, and steroids;
• decitabine and azacitidine—FDA-approved for MDS and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML);
• intensive chemotherapy with topotecan and cytarabine or other antiacute myeloid leukemia (AML) regimens;
• allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT);
• oral chelation therapy (to prevent iron overload); and
• imatinib for translocations involving 5q33.
Investigational approaches of significant potential include clofarabine, homoharringtonine, AMG531 (a thrombomimetic agent), and others. Treatment of MDS depends on patient age, prognostic risk, and comorbid conditions. The availability of these options has resulted in an increase in the documented incidence of MDS from 12,000 cases per year in the US to more than 20,000 cases. This is because more bone marrow studies are now performed in elderly patients with mild cytopenias to obtain a precise diagnosis, which may document MDS and allow early interventions.

Audit Associate Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 months - interviewed at PwC.
PwC's hiring is one of the best programmes, in relation to other companies.
1st Stage Online Test; they give you a second attempt if your first attempt didn't meet their requirements.
Assessment Day was smooth and although i thought i didn't do well in relation to other people i proceeded through. Here i would say you have to be greatly prepared for the skills test they give you; especially in terms of the numerical reasoning test as questions will be related to each other but do not come one after another in the test, so i would advise writing down key answers or formulas so you don't have to repeat steps again but be quick.
With the final interview it's more about testing your knowledge of the company and seeing generally whether you can communicate with people and understand things well.
I would say networking and communication is key so don't be shy. And be prepared in terms of commercial awareness and the company itself.
Other then that everyone is really friendly throughout the entire process.
- Most difficult question was in terms of commercial awareness. You have to know details as they will ask you follow up questions in regards to what your talking about. Answer Question

I applied online. The process took 2 months - interviewed at PwC in September 2011.Interview Details
Applied online and got a referral from a manager from a different office. Wasn't able to go through campus recruiting due to college being outside US, so it involved following up with a lot of recruiters. Had a preliminary phone screening, which was essentially to make sure you weren't a total freak. Basic questions about yourself, interest in accounting, and mostly just walking through your resume. Had I think 2 other similar screenings as follow ups (it seemed like I was getting passed around recruiters for a bit repeating the same step in the interview process). Was informed of an in person interview at the office the following month. Met with a partner and a manager. Both interviews focused on my resume and interest in the position/accounting. Not many difficult questions (none really that I hadn't prepared for: why PwC, why audit etc.). It felt like they were trying to get more of a feel of your fit with the company rather than your qualifications and whether you would last or not. Both interviews ended up as more of a conversation about my travels etc.
Got a call the next day from the partner I interviewed with and my main recruiter that I was offered the job.Interview Questions

On the company visit day, I got my par interview first. I asked questions about the latest news about the company and he was impressed. The second interview is senior interview, basically the repeat of par interview and the question is relatively easy. The third one is HR manager interview, repeat again. I think the par interview is the hardest because he asked many question from macro perspective and you really need to give your own opinion. I didn't answer the first one or two question very well, but I asked very good question back which I think has pretty big positive effect on my interview.Interview Questions

What's the latest from Capitol Hill?
Jon Etherton, president of Etherton and Associates, Inc., will give us an update on the procurement issues being discussed on Capitol Hill.
July 15, 2014
Lawmakers, OPM seek facelift for aging GS system
There's growing consensus on Capitol Hill and from the Obama administration that the pay and personnel system used by the federal government since 1949 and infrequently updated is showing its age and due for a major facelift. Lawmakers probed the General Schedule system Tuesday during a hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and the Census.
Larry Allen, President, Allen Federal Business Partners
As Congress tries to piece together the big National Defense Authorization Act for 2015, it's also looking back to the version of the bill it passed two years ago and asking what ever happened with some of those provisions. The 2013 version of the NDAA included several provisions dealing with small business that made advocates happy. But several of those legal changes are still awaiting agency regulations to actually implement them. The House Small Business Committee held a hearing on the matter earlier today. Larry Allen was among the witnesses. He's president of Allen Federal Business Partners. He shared his insights on the neglected proposals on In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu.
VA cites progress on backlog; Congress disagrees
VA cites progress on benefits backlog, but congressman accuses agency of 'hiding' numbers
House bill would give Federal Register a facelift
The House of Representatives passed a bill that would modernize and digitize the Federal Register, allowing the Federal Register to say goodbye to its print legacy.
House easily passes TSP restructuring bill
The Smart Savings Act would make the Lifecycle Funds the default investment option in the Thrift Savings Plan for new federal employees.
Get rid of the ATF? Why one Congressman wants it gone
A top House overseer of federal law enforcement thinks that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) should be dissolved.
Ben Goad, Staff Writer, The Hill Newspaper
President Barack Obama pledges to hit the accelerator on key policy goals, with or without Congress' help. The White House has released a report recounting more than 40 administrative actions taken this year and hinting at more to come. It's fodder for a lawsuit filed by House Republicans. But the administration makes no apologies. Ben Goad is a staff writer at the Hill Newspaper. He joined Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss what's happened and what we can expect before year's end.
David Hawkings, Senior Editor, Roll Call
The Senate plans to mark up the 2015 defense appropriations bill on Thursday. That will probably help make it the first appropriations bill to pass the Senate for fiscal 2015. Meanwhile the House will try to pass its seventh appropriations bill. Congress as a whole needs to pass 12 spending bills by September 30th if it wants to avoid another continuing resolution or a full government shutdown. David Hawkings is Senior Editor of Roll Call. He shared Capitol Hill's progress on the bills on In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu.
Brenda Farrell, Government Accountability Office
Over the past decade, Congress has stepped up pressure on the Defense Department to gather data about its civilian workforce, and to use that data to develop a strategic workforce plan. The Pentagon has a plan, but according to the Government Accountability Office, it has some gaps: It leaves out some of the information Congress mandated. DoD's workforce strategy doesn't appear to be tied to either its budget plans or its broader management strategies. Brenda Farrell is director of defense capabilities and management at GAO. She discussed the report on In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu.
Jon Adler, Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association
The House's top overseer over federal law enforcement agencies thinks the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has outlived its usefulness. Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee says he plans to introduce legislation that would abolish the ATF -- and fold its current responsibilities into other federal agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service. His argument: the ATF has been marred by high-profile blunders and it has missions overlap with other agencies. Jon Adler is national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. He took a different view on In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu.
Pending threats: Separating the sharks from the minnows
Thanks to summertime and the upcoming election, even the most anti-bureaucrat politicians have called a time out in their whack-a-fed agendas. But there are some real threats out there.
House panel debates merits of Senior Exec Service, comes down hard on VA
In examining the viability of the Senior Executive Service, House members called out the Veterans Affairs' compensation program, with a pledge to introduce another piece of legislation to take back bonuses. The Senior Executives Association relayed concerns that talent is fleeing senior executive positions.
Why a do-nothing Congress is good news for feds
The mid-term elections are upon us, and some people are complaining about political fatigue and gridlock. But for federal and postal workers - and retirees - these may be the good old days, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
House panel probes DoD's acquisition workforce
The size of DoD's civilian acquisition workforce has grown by some 20,000 employees over the past five years and now numbers about 135,000 personnel members, according to Stephanie Barna, acting assistant secretary of Defense for Readiness and Force Management. That's thanks to an effort by DoD begun in 2009 to recapitalize its acquisition workforce. But the department's focus on the acquisition workforce has been strained by a slew of competing priorities and congressionally-mandated belt-tightening, Barna said.
Senate confirms Julian Castro as HUD secretary

Rep. Donald Payne, Jr. (D-NJ)
For the Department of Homeland Security, making its 22 components' radio systems interoperable with one another has been an objective since the department was created in 2003. But today, DHS still can't account for all of its communications assets -- let alone get them to talk to each other. Last night, the House passed legislation designed to get things moving. Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ) is the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness and the prime sponsor of the DHS Interoperable Communications Act. He explained the details of the bill on In Depth with Francis Rose.
House passes bills tackling DHS communications during disasters
Legislation passed by the House creates a social media working group for the Department of Homeland Security, and adds in requirements and accountability processes to improve interoperability across the agency.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.)
The Senate's to-do list this week includes the next steps on information technology contracting reform and enhancing the role of the Chief Information Officer at federal agencies. But the Senate is playing catch-up: the House has already passed its version of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act. Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) is a cosponsor of FITARA. He explained on In Depth with Francis Rose what he likes about the Senate version and what he wants to change.
Justin Sink, White House Correspondent, The Hill Newspaper
Congress returns this week to confront a number of issues that need immediate action. President Obama is asking for an additional $2 billion to help deal with the flood of unaccompanied minors. And time is ticking away for lawmakers to replenish the Highway Trust Fund, which is set to run out of money at the end of August. The Hill's White House Correspondent, Justin Sink, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to give a round up on what's going on this week.

(HOUSTON, TX)-- Eric Langan, president of Rick's Cabaret International Inc., was charged in Mobile, Ala., on charges stemming from a tanning salon that Mr. Langan previously owned and sold more than five (5) years ago. The charges are completely and totally unrelated to the operations or activities of Rick's or Mr. Langan's relationship as president of Rick's.
The charges relate to a recently enacted statute in Alabama aimed at the adult entertainment business. The charges allege that Mr. Langan owned, had an interest in or was in control of the tanning salon, which he sold more than five years before, where the State alleges that nudity recently occurred in violation of Section 13A-12-200.11 of the Code of Alabama.
Mr. Langan, who has not been in Mobile, Ala., for more than five years, stated that, ``These charges are wholly without merit and I intend to aggressively and vigorously defend myself against these charges. I am confident that I will be completely vindicated in this matter.''
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause Rick's actual results to differ materially from those indicated in this press release include the risks and uncertainties as to whether the definitive documentation will ultimately be executed, the future operational and financial results of the newly acquired Web site, the future operational strength of Voice Media, the laws governing the operation of adult entertainment businesses, competitive factors, dependence on key personnel and the ability to manage operations. Rick's has no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of future events or circumstances.

Love Worth Finding - Apr. 24, 2012
The Secret of Joy and Contentment
"And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." - 1 Samuel 15:22
Joy and obedience are intrinsically linked together. When you learn to obey the Lord, you will have the joy of the Lord. It's like the hymn written by John Sammis: "Trust and obey, for there's no other way, To be happy with Jesus, but to trust and obey."
Trust and obedience are the two hands that lay hold of the promises of God. They are the two feet that keep you walking on the King's highway. They are the two ears that enable you to hear the Truth of God's Word.
Do you want to know the sweet joy and contentment that Paul had in the depths of a Roman prison and that Corrie Ten Boom had in the dark confines of a Nazi prison camp? Then trust and obey.

Metro Health Department Out Of Flu Vaccinations
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Metro Public Health Department has run out of the flu vaccine after administering all 10,000 of their doses to Davidson County residents.
Many health departments in Tennessee have begun offering free flu shots in the hopes that more people will get vaccinated.
Some health departments began offering the free shots on Friday, including the Metro Nashville Public Health Department, following a request by Tennessee Health Commissioner, John Dreyzehner, MD, for county health departments to offer the vaccine at no charge.
"We began offering flu vaccine at all three of our walk-in clinics in September and are very proud that since then 10,000 community members have been vaccinated and are now better protected against the flu," said Brian Todd, spokesman for the health department.
The number of flu cases has risen in the last few weeks, and the virus has killed 12 people in Middle Tennessee. Health officials said flu season will continue through February, so it's not too late to get a shot.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that this year's vaccine is a good match for the flu strains currently circulating in the U.S.
"In all the lab test being done a lot of the flu they're confirming is H1N1, and the good news is that is in the vaccine," said Todd.
Tennessee Department of Health officials said too many people get sick or die from influenza every year due to avoiding vaccination because of myths and misunderstandings. The two most common rumors are that getting immunized will give you the flu and that influenza vaccines aren't effective.
Officials with Metro Health said they still had over 1,500 dosed on Monday, but those have since run out.
There were no plans to order additional flu vaccine. Anyone who wants to get a flu shot in the county should contact their doctor, or visit any of the pharmacies and walk-in clinics in the area who may still have the vaccine.

Installing Sod
How to
Lay Sod in Four Simple Steps In the age of instant gratification, turf grass sod provides the "instant
lawn." Sod is to grass seed what pop tarts are to breakfast. Kansas City homeowners who want to have instant
green grass by tomorrow should consider bluegrass or fescue sod instead of grass seed. On established homes,
sod is an excellent choice for certain problem areas. Small patches around the driveway or patio that have
been damaged over the winter months are easily repaired with sod. Garden patches or flower beds that are
being replaced or redesigned will be immediately transformed into lawn. In areas where washouts and erosion
are problematic, sod is your natural choice. Around the house, in front of gutter downspouts or on slopes where grass seed will be washed away,
sod is the problem solver. Dog runs, play grounds, tire tracks, gasoline or fertilizer burns, all are common
problems for which sod is the answer. Guide to Instant Sod Lawn: GREEN SIDE UP! Grading: Sod should be installed
on smooth, even ground. The ground should be bare, firm and free of rocks. Once the soil is smooth and level, apply gypsum
to the bare soil (40 lbs per 1,000 sqft). Installing: The rolls should be placed tightly
together with the seams staggered. The outermost edges of the sod should not be exposed, cover them with soil or place them
at ground level. Anchor with sod staples on steep slopes.Fertilizing: Your
new sod must be fertilized at installation. In March - June apply PREVENT crabgrass pre-emergent
with fertilizer. Reapply in 4 weeks. This will suppress crabgrass and foxtail in the seams and cracks between the rolls. In
July - February apply LOVELAND GOLF COURSE STARTER fertilizer or LOVELAND RENOVATOR. Re-apply 4 weeks later.Watering Fresh Sod: The most important step in any
successful sod job. Fresh sod must be watered at once and kept wet for two to three weeks.
Homeowners should plan to water sod at least twice a day for one hour at a setting during the hottest part of
the day. Sod should be sloppy wet after installation and continually when temperatures are above 80° the first two weeks.How much water is enough? Use UNCLE'S
WET BEACH TOWEL TEST. Place a wet beach towel on your driveway and see how fast it dries out.
On hot windy days, the beach towel and the sod can dry out in hours. The beach towel will not die,
the sod will. Mowing: After installation the grass blades will be horizontal.
With proper watering, in 10 to 14 days, your sod will begin to stand up. Mow sod as often as needed with a sharp
blade and your mower on the highest setting. Water sod immediately after mowing. A few more tips:Sod is guaranteed to die, unless you water for
the 1st hour. In warm spring weather, sod begins to heat up in the roll as soon as it is cut.
The better the sod, the sooner it begins to heat up. Sod that cannot be installed promptly should be unrolled in the
shade and watered until the project is ready to start.
A few more tips:
Hey Uncle, How big is a roll of sod?1 roll of bluegrass or fescue sod is apprx. 9 square ft. 1.5' wide x 6' long (apprx.)1 roll of sod weighs apprx. 25 lbs. We can usually fit about 10 in an average trunk1 pallet of bluegrass sod or fescue sod has 56 rolls (504 square feet)1 pad of zoysia sod is apprx. 3 square feet 1.5' wide x 2' long1 pallet

Facebook is rolling out new designs for business Pages. They land on March 30. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing for your brand?
Private conversations with your fans! Users can now send admins private messages, perfect for ironing out those tricky customer service issues.
The timeline format favours image-led brands. (Have a look at Stephen's Cadmium page to see how he displays stunning pics to striking effect). Plus, you get to choose the cover photo or large banner image at the top, which is a great way to showcase your wares.
You can also anchor a specific story to the top of your timeline for a week at a time – handy for highlighting special events, or offers.
Each time you land on a Page, you'll see which of your personal Friends have interacted with it, which is likely, in turn, to increase your engagement.
No winging it. If you throw any old content on your Facebook Page, the timeline format will make it look cluttered and random. Play around with the Star, Pin and Hide functions to edit your posts, and make the page look pretty.
RIP the custom-designed welcome page. We loved the 'landing page' or 'splash page', a great tool to get more 'Likes' and issue a call to action to new fans – 'visit our website', 'buy our stuff with this exclusive discount', etc. You can still feature the welcome page as a tab at the top of the new Page. But that's it.
As always, Facebook has strict rules about promoting brands, so be careful not to use price or purchase information in your cover photo. You can't even include basic marketing, such as urls, email addresses, 'Buy Me Now' or 'Like this Page', which some (HubSpot included) consider a little harsh.
The Timeline function is exciting in that it allows you to chronicle the life of your brand by creating a series of 'milestones' or special events throughout its history. However, it doesn't go back far enough for some of Watershed PR's clients, like the 1,000-year-old Abbotsbury Swannery or Palmers Brewery, which has been brewing finest ales since 1794.
We've all got until March 30 to play around with the new design. Have fun, and let us know how you get on!
