The Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB), the umbrella body for the UK accountancy profession, has called on the UK Government to actively pursue growth with a 'long term' industrial strategy.
In an assessment of the Coalition Government's progress, based on interviews with senior accountants in business, finance and the public sector, the CCAB has also raised concerns about the damage being done to the UK's long term economic prospects by the language of austerity.
Those senior business and finance leaders who contributed to the assessment said:-
- The economy is currently 'treading water' with little sign that it a sustainable recovery is in place. A lack of confidence among both businesses and consumers is seen as a main constraint to growth and the general consensus is that there are no easy answers to the problems facing the UK economy.
- Politicians should stop talking down the economy as the overwhelming focus on austerity is seen as holding back a favourable climate for growth. There needs to be greater vocal support for businesses and promoting confidence as well as a longer-term approach to the economy, which would provide the confidence and certainty needed to enable investment and strategic planning.
Accountants have a critical role to play in advising businesses, especially SMEs, as well as training future business leaders. In response, the CCAB has urged Government to:
Set out a long-term industrial strategy with clear plans for particular sectors – in particular, it believes Government should identify what can be done to target developing export markets and where possible, should develop policy on a cross-party basis to give business certainty beyond the election cycle.
Remove barriers to hiring and provide incentives for businesses to take on young people - it would like to see more done to tackle the regulatory burden of hiring and to give businesses greater incentives to offer opportunities to young people.
Promote a clear pipeline of investment projects and work in partnership with the private sector to identify priorities – it wants more done to promote key projects within the National Infrastructure Plan to business, helping businesses to plan their own investment and boost jobs.
Consider a range of short term measures which could help 'unblock' the economy – it called on the government to ensure that the Red Tape Challenge is being used effectively to deliver quick reforms on those issues which have the most significant impact on business.
Commenting on the report, the CCAB said: "The accountancy profession recognises the role itcan play in boosting economic growth, as advisors and leaders of business, and as a partner to government in developing evidence based policies to boost growth. We look forward to working with policymakers to help address the issues identified in this report."

(BPT) - The unemployment rate has edged lower as the nation slowly recovers from the economic crash of 2009 but unemployment is still a concern for many Americans. Millions of people have filled part-time positions, to make ends meet. Many people are signing up to work several part-time jobs in lieu of a full-time position. It seems as though part-time jobs have become the new normal for U.S. workers.
'Part-time and temporary positions have been the trend for a long time,' says Jason Rinsky, National Director of Career Services at the Brown Mackie College system of schools. 'At the beginning of the recession, it was a way not to lay people off. Employers reduced workers to part-time hours to keep them employed. It made sense to keep the talent and resources available to them.'
'At first glance, there are obvious drawbacks to replacing one full-time job with several part-time positions,' says Grace Klinefelter, business and organizational leadership program chair at Argosy University, Washington DC. 'Perhaps the most troubling shortcoming is the unavailability of health insurance through part-time work.
'It can become expensive to get sick with or without health insurance coverage. People without coverage don't know what to do,' continues Klinefelter. This sobering reality prompts many Americans to turn to part-time and temporary employment options. In so doing, they discover unexpected opportunities including scheduling work shifts. Those who typically work from nine to five on weekdays may appreciate the flexible hours afforded by part-time work.
Younger workers tend to like the freedom of flexible hours; older employees often find more time available to care for their children - or an aging parent - with different work hours. It's also possible to reduce daycare costs by tag-teaming childcare responsibilities between spouses.
Approaching the new normal with a positive attitude can help people adjust. 'Don't eschew a part-time job even though it may not be an ideal vehicle,' says Rinsky. 'In terms of advantages, it gives you a foot in the door of a potential permanent employer. It can be a good way to sharpen skills and develop new ones.' With ever-changing technology, active engagement in the workforce is a good way to stay up to date. Taking on part-time work also eliminates employment gaps on your resume, which can be uncomfortable to explain during an interview.
'Think of it as an opportunity to expand your network,' says Klinefelter. 'People with several jobs get more exposure than those who are in a full-time position with one employer. Do your best on the job; show them what you can do. When there is a full-time opening, you want them to think of you.'
There are money-making alternatives to going into the office every day. Some have turned to their hobbies to bring in extra income in the midst of the restrictive job market. 'Many people have a creative side and an eye for an entrepreneurial experience,' says Klinefelter. 'If you have a creative idea and a fire under you, part-time work gives you more time to put it together and set it up. This is difficult to do with a 40-hour work week.'
The new normal of reduced work hours can open doors to fresh ventures that you may not otherwise consider. It helps to be prepared for change and to be flexible about what directions your skills can take you.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by civicsunrise One of the best shoes I've had First of all, a little bit of background. I am a 10K recreational runner, and from time to time I would do up to a 10Mi run. Most of the time I run out on a trail with very few treadmill runs. Also I have some runner knee problems on the left leg and I use orthotics. This condition requires me to use running shoes who offer good support and reduce the impact on my legs while running. Some of the shoes I've tried feel really hard, but these ones feel so comfortable and the materials are top of the line. I took them for several runs and they offer great support and cushioning. I've had no pain or problems at all with them so far! Aside from the comfort, the shoes look and feel great! The materials are very resistant, I've had them for a couple of weeks and they look great (I do clean the dirt after each run). Also, I like to do max interval training, and I've taken these shoes to the gym and the response is just as good! I don't get any chaffing and my feet feel great after taking them off. If you like to do different kinds of drills and are a passionate runner who wouldn't mind some extra comfort while doing so, then you should get this pair of shoes! As a note, you should order half size up for great fit. February 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by The Sybarite Worth the price. Review of the Adidas Energy Boost. I did not know what to expect when I received these shoes. They were not out yet, so when I opened the box my first reaction was one of surprise when I saw how good these look. I proceeded to try them on, and noticed something unusual. There are only 4 pairs of eyelets for the shoelaces. That seemed a little strange to me, especially for a performance shoe, in which you expect to have a customized fit. As soon as I finished tying the shoelaces I understood why there are only 4. The upper part of the shoe is made of a material that compresses your feet, in a good way. I guess a way to describe how they feel is kind of like a performance running sock, with a major difference. These shoes, despite hugging your feet, are extremely comfortable. I have read online that the most remarkable feature about these shoes is the breakthrough technology of the sole material, and I will get to that in a minute, but to me the upper materials are just as extraordinary. I am very particular with how my shoes fit. In running shoes, I like the fit to be snug but I have to be able to wiggle my toes. Whatâs amazing about the material they have developed is that it hugs your feet but at the same time you have considerable freedom of movement. I also thought that the material might give in and be less supportive after some use, but that has not happened yet. They are as supportive as the day I first tried them on. And then there is the midsole. Wow. It looks like Styrofoam, but it is obvious that this material is very different from what is used in all the shoes I have worn before. Two characteristics are worth mentioning. First, the cushioning it provides. Whether I was walking or running, it felt like I was on clouds. This made for a very comfortable, forgiving ride. And then there is the recoiling action of the material. When you impact the ground, the shoes rebound as if you were jumping on a trampoline. The combined effect is a very positive one. So those are the positives. The shoe is not perfect, of course. I do not have wide feet, and still the tongue of the shoe let my socks show because it is not wide enough. The sides of the tongue have a zigzagging shape. Because of this, parts of my socks showed through. It is not a lot, but still. One way for this not to be an issue is to wear socks of the same color as the shoes. In my case, the shoes are black, so with black socks this is not a problem. Another thing I would change is the color of the midsole. I have never been a fan of white midsoles, because while they might look good when they are new, I find it works against them after you wear them a few times. I understand why these shoes have a white midsole, though. I am pretty sure it is so that we can see the new material. I just hope they make these with darker-colored soles in the future. So the question to me is, Are these worth the $150 Adidas is asking for? To me, the answer is yes. These are, by far, the best running shoes I have tried. Whether you spend this much on a pair of athletic shoes depends on whether you want to have the very best there is. If you are serious about your running or about how comfortable your sneakers need to be, then yes, these are totally worth it. You are basically paying a $20-30 premium to have the very best. Full disclosure: I was given these shoes by Adidas to try them and write a review. They specifically asked me to be sincere and not to artificially embellish the review. I do not work for Adidas, and actually was quite surprised that they chose me to review these. February 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by IronFeep These Shoes Are Unfair I feel like I'm cheating the system and being allowed to wear a product that gives me an unfair advantage. The first time I put them on I thought I was jumping on tiny trampolines that followed my feet around. The cushioning is unlike any other shoe I've ever worn and that's including shoes that I've put cushioned insoles in. I just hope they stay this bouncy for as long as they claim to. The price, initially seems like way too much for what you think is just another running shoe, but I'll tell you it is more than justified. Worth every penny. A million thumbs up. An outstanding product. Thanks, Adidas. Well done! March 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by techeros Energy Boost Shoes review The heel of the shoe is cushioned and the shoe becomes more responsive through the mid-sole and stiff in the toe region. You will notice this could potentially be a sock less shoe. The tongue is attached to the sides and is seamless, very nice. Good arch support. I think this would be good for running 10 miles or less. You could run more, but this is my opinion. Adidas got it right with the top cloth and how it wraps around the foot. The toe box does raise some concern as it sorta/barely touched my toes. Again, good for 5/10k stuff but marathons... maybe. Very comfortable. If you are a heel striker and like a low drop shoe, you will love this. March 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rob G. Exceeded Expectations I have been searching quite a while trying to find a running shoe that was both light and comfortable. Enter the Adidas Energy Boost. This shoe is the perfect mix of weight and comfort. I couldn't believe how much cushion they provided when I first tried them on. I felt like I was bouncing up and down in these shoes. Running in them is fantastic. My legs feel notably less fatigued than usual. In addition they fit like a glove (gave me zero blisters) and took no time at all to break in. I must admit that I never tried running in Adidas before this. I have used Nike, Asics, and Brooks in the past but from now on these Adidas are my go to running shoes. March 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pacozero Like running on a cloud I had the privilege of trying these shoes before they were released, so after a few weeks of use I can recommend them highly. They're the lightest running shoes I've ever owned and my feet can tell. The best part is that the decreased weight does not come at the expense of comfort and support; the foam soles perform just as well as thicker/heavier soles. Not to mention, the Boost's futuristic new look matches its technological advances. A note on sizing: my 'true' size is 11, but I buy 11.5 to adjust for swelling when I run. I received my trial Boost pair in 11.5, and in normal-thickness socks it felt a bit tight. With thinner socks, however, it fit just right. March 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by EJReagan Best Shoes I've Ever Run In! The title is my review. I'm not going to get all techical here, all I have to say is over the past 21 years I've run in a lot of different running shoes (I have 5 pairs going rght now!# and the Boost is by far the best ever. Out of the box I took them out for 8.5 hilly miles at a good clip and I was in heaven. And for all of the rest of the running shoe companies that are knocking out 4mm heel drop shoes left and right #you know who you are) you can stick em! We're talking 10mm! Aside from the cushioning, no seams and perfect fit that alone makes this a great shoe! I'm clearly not a fan of flat running shoes. Buy the Boost! March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by zboochie Big man runner This shoe was a game changer for me. I have large feet (size 15) so finding a comfortable lightweight running shoe is very difficult. I fell in love with the fabric upper sock which I found super comfortable and breathable. The toe-box area is very nice. I usually find shoes that are more narrow and as my mileage increases, my toes become numb, but these were much roomier and allowed me to comfortably run more miles. I was a little nervous to switch to these shoes having ran in the Supernova Glide, but they have now been replaced by the Energy Boost. February 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Wrg214 Too much drop I love the new sole material and the upper. The shoes were very comfortable. There is quite a bit of drop from heel to toe. I run about 25-30 miles a week and will do a 5k in a zero or near zero drop shoe. I do most of my running in a structured cushioning shoe, but one with less drop from heel to toe. Running 6-8 mile runs in the energy boost I have had some soreness in my knees that I don't have with shoes with less drop I would love a pair with less drop then could see 5 stars. If your current shoe has a fair amount of drop I would gives these a try. If you prefer a zero or low drop shoe, this one is not for you. April 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by zoomZOOM Energy Boost Shoes After having the boost for a while now, and being a loyal consumer since 1993 starting with the Response Trails and working myself into the Supernovas and now the Boost. I Think I can Honestly say that These are the Best shoes I've had that I did not have to Break In as much. All positive things about this shoes. Only One negative: I wish I had waited for the second version. The upper mesh because of the closeness of the toes to toe ratio, I have a hole where my big toe is on my right shoe. The rest of the shoe is in excellent condition but a shoe for this price should not be falling apart. Too expensive for the shoe to be taring. July 12, 2013

Hey Guys! My name is Sassy and I'm an adorable Puggle, a crossbreed of a pug and beagle. I'm a little over three years old and a sturdy 20 pounds. I'm at an ideal age; old enough to know better and able to relax and enjoy companionship, but young enough to have plenty of energy and still want to play. My rescue friends think my name really suits me because I'm the total pup package, all wrapped up in a bundle of cuteness. I'm playful, social, smart, have a well-balanced temperament, and - let's face it - I'm super cute and, yes, sassy!
Originally, Mutts Matter rescued me from the shelter after Animal Control found me wandering the streets as a stray. I was adopted quickly by a family who I thought would love me and care for me forever, but when my parents stopped getting along, I became a casualty of divorce. Now I find myself back in a foster home through no fault of my own, waiting for my real family to find me. I hope that's you.
I lucked out and got a really experienced foster dad named Hal. He gets me; he's fostered over 100 dogs! I'm in great hands here and his home is a fun, dog-friendly place to hang out while I wait for my new family. Hal takes me on regular walks and we go running together. I'm a surprisingly great running partner, walk well on the leash, and I'm crate-trained, too. He also takes the time to introduce me to new situations, helping me learn socialization skills. Just last weekend we attended Potomac Day, and I met tons of new people, kids, and other dogs. I was a little hesitant at first, but I'm a very social pup and did great with all the noises and activity once I got used to things.
My foster home is a hotbed of canine activity. When I first arrived, my fellow Mutts Matter pals, Bart and Eddie were here, and I really enjoyed having them around to play with. I've met a lot of other rescue pups since then and have gotten along great with all of them. Check out this video of me playing with some other MMR dogs, Murray and Benji, welcoming them into our pack. I love to play, and prefer having the companionship of another dog. My ideal home would have another pup to hang out with, a fenced yard, and preferably a toy box stocked with a selection of both chewy and plush toys for me to enjoy. I love kids too, but I can be a little nippy when I play and protective of my toys, so really small kids are not the best fit for me, but kids over eight or so would be great, and I will love them wholeheartedly.
Foster dad Hal calls me the perfect companion dog, which I think is pretty obvious. I like to "talk" to him from time to time, and will greet him with a welcoming howl when he comes home, but I'm not loud or boisterous - I just want him to know I missed him. I'm affectionate and love to cuddle, but I'm not a clingy dog either. My favorite spot in the house involves a fuzzy blanket strategically placed on top of the couch. I can hang out up there in total comfort while I watch the humans do their thing, and it's a great vantage point for watching the squirrels in the back yard too! Sometimes, I'll curl up on top of my foster dad's head like a cat and it makes him laugh. I don't know what's funny about it; it's warm and comfortable, and that's what I'm all about.
So, that's me in a nutshell. I'm an active, fun, loving, and social pup who will make a great addition to your family and really need some people to love and commit to me for real this time. Will you be my lifetime companion?

So many artists underpricing...It makes me really sad.When an artist you want to commission finally open their commissions back and all of their slots are taken in less than a minute.And I'm sure all the slots would still be taken if the price was increased of x2-x10.So many artists are still underpricing themselves. People make it a standard for art to sell for so cheap and whenever someone charge more than this standard, which is probably still underpriced, people complain.By underpricing yourself, you are also contributing to keep the price standard of art low on this site. Charging low can be insulting to other artists, but also to yourself.Please, don't ever feel like you need to underprice yourself, because of the fear of what other might think or say. You art is worth more than that. There will always be someone complaining, you cannot please everyone.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1989 Tour."
The show starts with Trey dedicating it to the spirit of the pig and announcing that the first song is called Pig Head, and then starts playing Divided Sky which they nail right out of the gate and jump into Antelope. Hard to even imagine playing these one-two to open a first set nowadays a first of three sets nonetheless at this point the songs are no longer new, but they are fresh enough that it all seems experimental as they stretch out the jams. The short Slave has a very interesting ambient-type section for a few minutes in the middle that I like, but I give the highlight of the set to the YEM. Early on, it has a nice little start-stop section, the lyrics are supplemented with numerous shit-synonyms, a Heavy Metal-Type Trey Solo, and a silly poop vocal jam. Plus they call for a Volunteer for a keg run at the end of my track. Silly, yes, but they are obviously having fun.
The second set kicks off with a nice Mikes Groove again punctuated with some banter, and proceeds to Bathtub Gin a new Phish number. There is some really strange piano business (not bad, just different) going on, but as the third known version (and the first only two days earlier), they are obviously still working it out. The version of Sanity is different from any other that I have ever heard. Not only is the tempo double-time, there are a plethora of instrumental breaks that all seem to about to break into something else (I keep thinking Fluffs Travels is about to arrive and there is a proto-chalk dust at the end) and some cool solos to go around definitely a set highlight. Take the A Train is a nice cover as a Jazz fan I wish they would do Jazz covers more often (some Coltrane explorations would be nice!) and it is the most extended jazz cover that I have them doing. The Funky Breakdown > Price of Love business I would put in the you had to be there/Historical interest category. On the historical topic, Split Open and Melt actually had a full-on drum solo! Hood has an interesting piano flourish and while they dont exactly burn it up, it is enough to bring the cops.
Set III starts with a slow dark jam the kind you would typically find after 10 minutes or so into a set II song exploration. It is not too intense, but very weird to hear coming out of the gate and it ends with a La Grange Jam/Tease and, of course, some more banter. A two-minute radio-friendly unfinished sloth with banter follows. Hard to tell if it is intentionally ended or not, but then they dig into a Sneaking Sally with a long vocal jam. Ya Mar is nice and chill and JJLC brings it home with the highlight of the short final set.
Overall a classic date which shows off the chops, humor, and songs of the band at the time and which is an enjoyable listen at any time.

I have a huge mixed test session in February with a lot of dances. How much time should I allow for the different level dances?
I have a huge mixed test session in February with a lot of dances. How much time should I allow for the different level dances?
Check out page 9: http://www.usfigureskating.org/conte...st%20Chair.pdf
Keep this doc handy. It has a lot of useful info.
So, would I be able to do a 5 minute warm-up group with two gold dances and two pre-gold? One minute no music, then one minute each of each type of dance? Giving 6 minutes per dance, total group would be 24 minutes.
Also, this is tricky because in my lower dance groups, I have one coach taking about twelve skaters through their tests. If I can figure out the gold dances, though, I think I'll be okay.
This is why kids need math in school.
If it's 6 min per dance, plus a 5-minute warm-up, that would be 29 minutes. From what the guide says, it sounds like the warm-up structure is fine, but if the same coach is taking all the skaters through, you might need to allot an extra minute in there to allow the coach to move between students.
For Prelim and Pre-Bronze dances, you can put two out at a time, starting from opposite ends, since those dances only require 1 judge. But if they all need the same coach, that won't work, obviously.
In my area, they give enough time on the warmup for the partner to run through with everyone w/ the music. When it's the same partner for everyone, that often takes more time. On the other hand, Almost always, it will not take as long for the actual tests as it says in the book. Just so you know, if you allow that much time you'll probably end up running early.
Also if there's any way to give the guy who's doing multiple partners a break here & there, he'll greatly appreciate it!!
Competition rules (ISU) for Pattern Dances are 1 minutes without music, 3 minutes with music. That is how we run our dance tests here.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
I have 13 dance tests so far, and 10 of them are with the same coach/partner, 2 are with another coach. I talked to the test chair at our sister club, and she said this is fairly typical, and that he's a workhorse and smiles through the entire session. Maybe I'll put together a preliminary schedule, and then run it by that coach as well to see where it may need adjusting. I'm allowed to do that, yes?
In the test sessions I have attended/assisted with, usually each dance coach has multiple students testing. If a dance coach/partner knows he's going to be at a particular session, will try to get other students there. The more students come to the same test session, the fewer test sessions he'll need to show up to. So dance coaches are used to being busy at test sessions. In fact, they usually like their tests to be concentrated in a certain time window rather than spread out, so they don't have to be there all day.
Okay! That makes sense. Thank you!You might just want to run the basics by him w/o giving him the details of the actual sched.
Okay, here's the dance tests I have so far. All but TWO are the same coach. IOW, one coach taking 20 kids through dances. If anyone has any guidance on how to groups these and warm up times, I will send you a bottle of good (cyber) vodka. This is my fourth test session, but I've never had this many dances.
Viennese Waltz
Westminster Waltz
Viennese Waltz
Quick Step
Quick Step
Starlight Waltz
Paso Doble
Paso Doble
Silver Tango
Rocker Foxtrot
Willow Waltz
Willow Waltz
Cha Cha
Swing Dance
Canasta Tango
Rhythm Blues
So by "20 kids", do you mean that each kid is only taking 1 dance? No skater is testing more than 1? If so, I would just group them by level - depending on when your ice cut is, you could start at the lowest level and go up, or start at the top and work your way down (if ice cut is right before the dances start). It looks like you have 11 dances Pre-Silver and lower and 11 dances Silver and up. I would divide into 2 groups for each - 5-6 skaters per warm-up.
Well, actually several kids are taking several dances. For example, I have one skater testing three pre-gold dances (all with the same coach.)
Can I put 5 gold tests on the same warm up? For gold tests it *is* all different skaters,
Then, for pre-gold, there are five tests taken by two different skaters (same coach). Should I just put both girls on same warm up, or bring one of the gold tests onto that warm-up....
IOW 4 gold skaters in first warm up and 4 tests. 3 skaters on second warm-up (gold and pre-gold), but 6 tests.
omg, this is like a Rubik's cube. My head is going to explode. Thank you for talking me through this.
What is the limit for number of skaters on a dance test session? How many tests could one skater be reasonably expected to warm up in one session?
I feel like I have a grasp on moves and freeskate now, but dances have me flummoxed.
Gee I don't envy you at all. Here I am usually the one everyone consults because I know the most about how dance is run.
Not sure how it is done in your part of the world but if I was doing it these are my thoughts on how I would handle it.
Senior dances first as they are most difficult. The coach would be able to cope better with the easier dances later (less tiring).
Each individual dance needs it's own warm up as the music has to be played for that dance (that is what we do here).
For an individual dance (eg Vienesse Waltz), if there were two or three coaches doing the same dance, then you could warm those up together as they need the music played. However if it was the same coach doing more than two different students on the same dance, then each student would need their own warm up.
I have probably confused you all the more but I hope some of what I have said makes sense.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
No, no! That helps! All of this helps. I don't think anyone else in our immediate area has fielded bigger test sessions, and like I said, to fir everyone in, I now have two sessions running on two different rinks. I'm okay with that, as once I get them set up, they usually run themselves. But these dances are new for me.I have probably confused you all the more but I hope some of what I have said makes sense.
So, for example, can I put four gold tests on the ice? That is, there would be a one minute warm-up during which all four skaters would warm-up. Then, I would play a minute of Viennese Waltz, and coach would do warm-up with first skater.
Would other skaters stay on the ice and continue warming up? Or do they get off while music is playing if it isn't their test music? And, okay, now I get is that if another coach and skater also doing Viennese Waltz, they practice at the same time.
I think I'm almost having an ah-ha moment. Thank you again for everyone holding my hand through this.
Yes, you can put all the Gold tests in the same warm-up. 5 skaters, right? That is not too many, but just be sure that each skater gets a chance to warm up with the coach. So each dance should be played once for each skater. If the same coach is taking all 5 skaters through, then you'll need to play each dance being tested for each separate skater testing it. Yes, all skaters stay on the ice for the entire warm-up time (unless they choose to get off early). After the first min of warm-up, the coach will start to move among the skaters to warm-up each individual dance and the other skaters will continue warming up on their own while staying out of the way of the coach-student 'team'. So if you are going to play each separate dance for 1 min, plus the 1 min of general warm-up at the beginning, that would be a 6-minute warm-up for the Gold group.
Maybe you could combine the Pre-Gold with the Silvers, or are they all with the same coach? If there are only 2 skaters testing Pre-Golds, then you can fit other skaters on, but if it's the same coach for all, then you would need to expand the warm-up time accordingly.
Debbie S, THANK YOU!
Okay, so I put all 5 gold tests on together. Done!
The pre-gold is 5 tests, but only 2 skaters, same coach for both (both will do Paso Doble). The silver and pre-silver is three tests, but one of the pre-gold skaters will also be skating a silver.
Uh oh! Is this like MIF/FS? Will she have to pass the silver before she can take the pre-gold? If so, she'll have to do that test first, yes?
Okay, what about this:
Start with gold dances (fresh ice, first thing in the morning). None of those are contingent.
Then, I can start from bronze up, since I have two skaters with contingent tests. Pre-bronze can wait until after ice cut. After ice cut, I have one Senior, one Junior, and one Novice moves test. I'll put the few pre-bronze dances after that, then I have three mid-level free skates.
Does this sound like a plan? This is better than sudoku.
Yes, that sounds like a good plan for allocating the ice time and partner availability and allowing for continency tests.
Then you just have to make sure you have the right judges available at the right time.
Just a thought - if the contingent tests don't pass (I hope that doesn't happen) your test session will be running ahead of time. You can adjust the schedule or allow a longer warmup for the next level (probably best).

And in a shocking twist that will rock the universe and the forums, that theory I put forth was Kreistor-like- battlespace forms when interaction is a possibility. Being of a certain frame of mind, I looked into how that can be determined, and it's fairly easy. If two sides can reach some same hex, be it by units, spell effects or whatever a side can do to extend its influence, then they might interact that turn.
To me, the above seems easy to check, and also the only way that will make sense so as to avoid paradoxes.
It does have some problems, arguably minor ones. Arguably.
1) A side can reach very very far; much farther than it may realize, by using mount/relays. I must bring Erfsims again, because we've used such tactics there and they illustrate a point that's valid for Erfworld too. Suppose there's a max-move that your units have. Take a large, fast unit and make it carry another (the payload) and possibly even another mount for the payload. The large unit moves as far as it can go, then the mount and payload, with fresh full move continue (payload on the mount), finally the payload dismounts and continues on its way.
By the nature of the rules you'd expect the extended reach as described above to be granted only to small units, but it's a possible option, and if you don't care much for the payload's viability but do care about its reach (when it's a scout, say), you just as well might use this. The possibility is therefore for two sides to interact because their scouts could, maybe, meet, even though the bulk of armies are very very far away from each other.
2) A side can be within interacting range with two or more sides, none of which however is in interacting range of the other. All would be in the same battlespace. This isn't so bad, until you think that sides, at least on a continent, should be close enough that when you calculate who can directly interact with who, then glue together battlespaces that share at least one side, everything collapses into one battlespace all the time.
1) and 2) generate problems of flavour. Under a mild assumption* of side distribution in Erfworld, it should be the case that there is only one battlespace for a continent, which includes all sides in that continent.
*: the assumption: there is not too much no-mans-land between sides, so that at least by that kind of stage-rocket tactic, units could cross it in one turn. I consider this assumption mild because if there were such vast stretches of no-mans-land in the beginning, it would not be disputed so therefore easy to build cities** in, therefore would eventually disappear.
EDIT: **: I can't remember a new city being built though, not in Erfworld. So one may say that such an act is impossible, cities can only be claimed, or razed then rebuilt, which limits where cities may exist, which means a certain separation between sides may be kept. If the city-sites are also "clustered" then we have a natural explanation for Parson's comment that after a while it didn't pay off to capture new cities. If you cannot place cities at will in the area you conquer, but instead these are clumped in clusters with large distances between them, then it is the case that the border you need to defend could increase as fast or faster than the productive area your defenses are built from.

Hmm. I don't understand this question.

It's Magic Time At Trask Coliseum
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 08/23/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Earvin "Magic Johnson," one of the most universally recognized ambassadors for the game of the basketball, will speak at UNCW's Trask Coliseum on Oct. 11, 2012, to kick off the Wilma Daniels Distinguished Lecture series.
Johnson, 53, grew up in Lansing, Mich., and starred at Michigan State, where he carried the Spartans to the 1979 NCAA Championship over close friend and rival Larry Bird. Johnson left after two years and embarked on a professional career with the Los Angeles Lakers that ended up with the smiling point guard being named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history and enshrinement in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Daniels, a member of the UNCW Board of Trustees, made a gift to the university to help fund an initial year of programming for the Wilma Daniels Distinguished Lecture Promoting Diversity & Tolerance. The gift will fund the appearance of Johnson, who will focus his talk on building a successful life, overcoming challenges and achieving personal goals
The public is invited to attend the free event, but tickets will be required. UNCW will be working with local schools and youth groups to bring in several hundred middle school students to hear Johnson's encouraging message.
"UNCW has excellent initiatives related to diversity and tolerance, which this new lecture will build upon and strengthen," Daniels said during a news conference at the Burney Center. "I wanted to work with the university to bring someone to campus to inspire young people, and to forge deeper relationships between the local African-American community and the campus."
The Daniels Lecture will be part of a week-long celebration of diversity, including numerous cultural and educational events.
"This lecture reflects our university's sustaining values," said Chancellor Gary L. Miller. "As an institution, UNCW is dedicated to the journey of learning, including the great diversity of culture and ethnicities of humankind, a love of place-especially this community, and a commitment to ideas and innovation. These values are supported when we bring in guest speakers to share their ideas and perspectives with the community."
Tickets to the Magic Johnson lecture will be available starting Sept. 24 at the Athletics Ticket Office in Trask Coliseum. Tickets must be picked up in person during regular business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday, and there is a maximum of four tickets per person.
