Early figures suggest that the Peterborough social impact bond has led to a 6 per cent reduction in recidivism over two corresponding two-year periods, against a 16 per cent increase nationally.
Reconviction statistics published by the Ministry of Justice today track six months of reoffending behaviour and are compared to an historic baseline.
The figures show that there has been a more than 6 per cent decline in the frequency of reconviction events per 100 HM Peterborough prisoners in the period 2010-12 compared with the earlier two-year period 2008-10.
This compares to a 16 per cent increase nationally from 2008-10 to 2010-12 - from 69 to 79 reconviction events per 100 offenders - and represents a relative decline of 23 per cent overall.
The published figures include most of the short-sentenced prisoners on the Peterborough social impact bond pilot.
However, a spokeswoman from Social Finance, which manages the social impact bond, said while the figures offered encouragement, they do not measure reoffending behaviour over as long a period as the social impact bond will be judged and are not compiled on precisely the same basis as will be used by an independent assessor during the course of 2014 to determine whether a payment is due.
The Peterborough social impact bond aims to reduce the number of reconvictions among 3,000 short-sentence prisoners by 7.5 per cent over the period of the bond. Investors into the social impact bond will receive a return if the number of reconvictions falls by at least 7.5 per cent overall.
If the social impact bond delivers a drop in reoffending beyond 7.5 per cent, investors will receive an increasing return capped at a maximum of 13 per cent per year over an eight-year period. But if the 7.5 per cent target is not reached, the investors will get nothing back.
In 2014, when the social impact bond will have been running for four years, investors could get an interim payment if targets are met.
David Hutchison, CEO of Social Finance, said: "We are very proud of the work being done in Peterborough by all our local partners and hope that this will lead to success for the Peterborough social impact bond, which will be determined by the summer of 2014."
Responding to pilot results, Andrew Neilson, director of campaigns at the Howard League for Penal Reform, said they should not be used as an excuse for blanket payment by results in probation services:
"Peterborough's success is in part secured through philanthropic investment which funds a service over and above what the taxpayer already pays for. The Peterborough project also works voluntarily with short-sentenced prisoners who engage voluntarily with services on release. That voluntary aspect is considered crucial to the project's success in areas such as mentoring.
"By contrast, the government is proposing to privatise probation to reduce costs and short-sentenced prisoners will be compelled to receive support on release. Talk of payment for results may yet be a smokescreen for cheap and poor quality services that set people up to fail."
Elsewhere, Russell Webster, an independent consultant, suggests the released figures are not "earth-shattering" in a blog today. He wrote: "My view is that these mediocre results make the MoJ's recently published proposed payment mechanism seem even more unrealistic."
Social impact bonds look set to feature prominently in Justice Secretary Chris Grayling's rehabilitation reforms, which will open up rehabilitation service delivery to the voluntary and private sector.
During a Parliamentary hearing last year, Grayling held up the Peterborough social impact bond scheme as a good model for private and voluntary sector partnership in prisoner rehabilitation and said the government's plans would be a major opportunity for the social investment sector.
It's estimated that the new rehabilitation reforms will create a £5-20bn market

Yet more overblown rhetoric on this as-yet not fully evaluated single project. To assert that "Early figures suggest that..." just does not cut it. There are few projects of which the same has not being said. Over-positive spin and rhetoric is put on whatever is said of this Peterborough single project. The real and present danger is that the unjustified spin and rhetoric is being spilled over by various interested parties into other core public services across the UK. The mention of Minster Grayling and SIBs is telling - this is an ideologically and politically-drive.

Technology Transfer Tactics
Vol. 8, No. 11, November 2014
- External reviews pull no punches, help TTOs drive improvements. The idea of giving outsiders free rein to put your TTO under a microscope would strike many tech transfer managers as off-putting, to the say the least, but that is exactly what some university administrations are doing.
- Faculty ire over IP assignment illustrates continuing struggle in wake of Stanford v. Roche. When the University of Pittsburgh attempted this summer to update its intellectual property assignment processes — with an eye directly on the Supreme Court's ruling in Stanford v. Roche — the pushback from faculty was so strong the school withdrew its proposal and retooled it.
- UCLA establishes non-profit affiliate to enhance tech transfer efforts. UCLA has launched Westwood Technology Transfer, a separate non-profit that will have a big say in the direction of tech transfer and the investments made in specific.
- In structuring agreements involving joint invention, avoid the "patent law punt." Joint inventions can be a boon for both groups contributing to their development, but when the invention moves to commercialization, negotiating who owns what and how much can get sticky.
- CCI's online Inventor Toolkit designed to keep ideas flowing. With the release of its new online Inventor Toolkit to guide staff through the technology transfer process, Cleveland Clinic Innovations hopes to build on what has already been a stellar record.
- Bulletproof your patents to avoid post-grant review disasters. Post-grant reviews have been on the horizon since the America Invents Act (AIA) first came to be, but TTOs haven't had to worry much about them until now. Patents issued after June 2013 can now be reviewed, and that means there is a growing pool of IP that can be challenged and rights revoked. But it remains to be seen if post-grant actions will be as much of a threat as inter partes review.

Walking tour, beach and more food of course
We have a great sleep as they have mechanical blinds on the outside of the windows so the room stays nice and dark and quiet :-). We struggled to get up, but we managed to allow enough time to catch a train to the meeting point in the central town. We didn't have time for breakfast so we grabbed something from a local cafe. Then we were soon on our way on this walking tour. We had a great tour guide who was originally from ...
Signs on the Journey, Lunch in the Ravel
... as well as enormous distractions. However, I do have to eat a healthy lunch and so charted out a lunch adventure in my neighborhood at a vegetarian restaurant with rave Yelp reviews called Teresa Carles on said iPad. It's just a 12 minute walk from my studio. So I dropped my things off from class, picked up the handy shopping cart I bought the other day and headed out for my first chance to do a tiny bit of exploring, one small adventure ...
Part Two
... a viewing area. We took the lift to the top (it costs like 1 euro each) and walked around and got a great view of the city. Down in the mall we got some great gelato, which you can pretty much find anywhere in the Mediterranean, and walked through some parks towards our hotel.
We turned in a little early this night, because we were headed to Montpellier the next day. My first visit to France!
Sightseeing, and more Beach
... by themselves are breathtaking, but even the outside architecture was fascinating to look at. After we finished our sightseeing, which included at least two hours of walking, we grabbed lunch and went to the beach for the rest of the day. Then we went to dinner and finally headed back to Opium, but not before going to the ice bar which was much smaller than I thought it would have ...
My Review of Barcelona...
... and around the cathedral, that make you feel as though you're wandering through a maze from another century. Because you are, I suppose. Go get lost in them. It's wonderful. And while we're talking locations, avoid Las Ramblas, that main vein running through the city. It's much less fascinating and much more of a tourist trap, so unless you really need to stock up on your fridge magnets or you simply prefer to pay double the price for your glass of wine ...

Omnicom Publicis merger creeps into Q3
Omnicom Group, the owner of the BBDO and OMD networks, has said its merger with Publicis Groupe might not take place until the third quarter of this year, as it reported its pre-tax income increased by less than one per cent in Q4.
Maurice Levy and John Wren: Publicis and Omnicom chiefs respectively
According to Omnicom's results for 2013, the group's total global revenue was $4.06 billion (£2.46 billion) in the last three months of the year, up 2.9 per cent when compared to the same period in 2012.
Omnicom reported income before income taxes of $511.4 million (£310.47 million), up 0.7 per cent year on year.
Publicis Groupe and Omnicom announced plans to merge in July 2013 and had hoped the deal would go through in the early 2014. Yesterday Omnicom said it expected the deal to complete "a little bit into the third quarter".

Kids are out of school, so we're getting them involved to make Memorial Day decorations.
What you need:
- Tissue paper (red, white, and blue)
- Scissors
- Wire coat hanger
- tape
Bend the wire coat hanger so the hook is up, but the frame is in a circle.
Cut the paper in strips, each a couple inches or so wide. Tape two strips along the edge of the wire back-to-back.
I chose to do a red, white, and blue pattern with my strips of paper.
This will look like a wind sock type decoration that you can hang in a tree or from the bottom of the lights outside of your home.
* If you use plastic table cloths and tape or glue for the outdoors, then this decoration will last longer and through anything Mother Nature has planned.
To see these projects click on the "Pinspiration" board on Heather's Pinterest page, http://www.pinterest.com/wvltheather, or Erin Barnett's Pinterest page at http://www.pinterest.com/wvlterinbarnett.

CVS Q1 Earnings Chilled By Rough Winter
Monday May 5th, 2014 - 2:02PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
For the three months ended March 31, CVS Caremark Corp. missed an analyst earnings estimate, posting net income of $1.13 billion, or 95 cents per diluted share, versus $954 million, or 77 cents per diluted share, in the year-earlier period. Comparable store sales increased 1.4% versus last year's first quarter, with pharmacy comps up 3.8% and front end comps, including results from general merchandise such as home goods, down 3.8%.
According to the company, a weaker flu season and severe weather across much of the United States hurt both front end and pharmacy comps. The company added that the Easter shift from March in 2013 to April in 2014 crimped front-end comps.
Still, front end basket size improved modestly in the quarter while front end margins improved notably, CVS asserted.
Adjusted earnings per share in the first quarter came in at $1.02 versus 83 cents in the year-ago period, the company declared. Adjusted EPS for the three months ended March 31 excludes $131 million in one-time charges while the period for 2013 includes $122 million in like costs, in both cases tied to acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, CVS stated.
Adjusted EPS was two cents below an analyst average estimate from Thomson Reuters.
"Adjusted EPS increased 22.5%, to $1.02, which was a penny below our expectations primarily due to the significant amount of unforeseen weather-related issues we experienced throughout the quarter," Larry Merlo, CVS president and CEO, said in announcing the financial results.
In the first quarter, CVS opened 22 new retail drugstores, and closed seven, ending up the period with 7,829 locations in 47 of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Brazil, including 7,675 drugstores, 17 on-site pharmacies, 24 retail specialty pharmacy stores, 11 specialty mail order pharmacies and four mail service dispensing pharmacies, as well as 84 branches and six centers for infusion and enteral services.

Stick welding aluminum
The amount of Internet misinformation relating to stick welding aluminum is astonishing. I'm sure that everyone with a stick/arc/SMAW welder or DC TIG welder has wanted to weld aluminum at one time or another. Many web pages and forum posts state that either an AC TIG welder or a MIG welder with spool gun, with argon shielding gas, is required to weld aluminum, which is inaccurate. What should be stated is that AC TIG with argon or helium mix is the slowest, cleanest, and most controllable way to weld aluminum, which makes it especially good for welding thin aluminum. DC TIG with helium can weld aluminum, but its
hot arc
and deep penetration may be best for thicker welds. MIG, which is DC, is much faster than TIG, but it is not nearly as controllable because you cannot melt the base metal without adding filler metal. A spool gun or push-pull gun is not required if the MIG cable is straight and drive roll tension and weld settings are just right. Neither TIG nor MIG can weld aluminum in breezy conditions. However, stick welding aluminum is possible with a DC stick welder and it actually works better than I expected.
E4043 aluminum electrodes DCEP - success
I tried to DCEP stick weld aluminum with a flux-coated 1/8" aluminum electrode. I used 1/8"
Harris 26 Aluminum Welding Electrodes
that I purchased from
. Hobart also makes
aluminum electrodes
. I saw them at Northern Tool, but I have not tried them yet. Lincoln Electric also has the
Aluminweld 43 rods
, but I have not tried those either. The
Aluminweld 43 data sheet
has useful instructions. The electrodes use different flux than more common steel electrodes, but the process is basically the same. The heat source is the arc between the consumable electrode and the base metal. All of the aluminum electrodes I have seen are 4043, so they can weld all of the same
aluminum alloys that 4043 filler rod or wire can weld
. They recommend DCEP/DCRP, which makes sense. AC TIG is able to remove the oxide layer on the base metal during the electrode positive portion of the alternating current. Just like MIG welding aluminum, DCEP constantly removes the oxide layer from the base metal while the electrode flux keeps oxides from forming on the electrode metal and the molten pool. The flux protects the weld as it cools and forms a protective barrier, which works great even in breezy conditions. They key is to move faster than you would with a steel electrode and not much weave movement is required since the aluminum flows better than steel. I welded a 3"x6"x60" aluminum box section out of 3"x0.125" angle for a storm grate extension and used less than 1 pound of electrodes. That works out to 60" x 4 seams = 240", which would have used quite a few TIG filler rods and a significant amount of argon from my 40cuft bottle. Some people have suggested that DCEN will work and give much better penetration on thicker base metal, but I have not had a chance to try it yet. These DC flux-coated electrodes will not work directly with an AC output stick welder because the arc extinguishes during the zero voltage portion of the sine wave. The following photos show my newbie welding skills with these 1/8" electrodes at 120A. This bit of welding was done with a 160A inverter on a bottom side of the grate extension near the beginning of my learning curve. My welding and my welds got better as I progressed as shown in the photos.
So, my conclusion is that stick welding aluminum is great when a lot of structural (read not-perfectly-cosmetic) welding is needed. It should be possible to lay some nice looking welds and weld thinner metal this way, but my skills are definitely not there yet. I was able to weld at near MIG speed without a MIG welder at or under equivalent consumable cost. The 1 pound of electrodes was about $25 shipped. One pound of aluminum welding wire is currently about $20 and my argon bottle costs about $15 to fill up. The main drawbacks are learning curve, appearance, quality, and slag cleaning effort. I know many professional welders with nice AC TIG setups scoff at this method, but many projects aren't mountain bike frames for paying customers and sometimes people need to do the best they can with the tools they already have.
Here are some relevant threads about stick welding aluminum over at
Welding Web
Here is
the best video I have found about stick welding with aluminum electrodes
. I think he gives helpful information and I think he's honest about the drawbacks. This would have been really helpful back when I originally created this page.
This page,
A short history of welding aluminum
, has an excellent overview of the various aluminum welding processes. It does a good job of explaining some of the difficulties and potential problems with flux in OFW and SMAW aluminum welding.

'Immortals' Producer: Tarsem Singh Needs to Understand 'Collaborating' (Video)
Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton spoke to THR about their upcoming Relativity epic and working with the famed visual director.
Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton, the duo who produced the fantasy fight epic 300, are now behind the upcoming Greek god battle action film, Immortals. The stunning visuals and bloody fight scenes from 300 return for this Tarsem Singh-helmed project, but with the addition of golden Greek gods and Henry Cavill starring as Theseus and Mickey Rourke as a bad-ass King Hyperion.
PHOTOS: 'Immortals' Premiere Red Carpet Arrivals
In the trailer, the Relativity film is touted as being from the same producers as 300, a fact that Nunnari and Canton were aware of, but they gave credit to many different people for the success of the film.
"We're one of the selling points, the movie I think sells itself," Nunnari told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet at the premiere. "We're maybe the origin of the whole idea, but then there is Tarsem, a fantastic cast, a great studio behind it, and so it's like a great cocktail."
VIDEO: Henry Cavill Gets Angry In a New 'Immortals' Clip
Singh, known for his work in commercials, music videos and the films The Cell and The Fall, has a reputation for coming into a project with a very clear vision.
"We both wanted to work with him for a long time, and he with us," Canton said of collaboration with Singh. "He had this Caravaggio pre-Renaissance painting concept, which is a lot different than the pop art of a lot of graphic novels."
However, having a very clear vision can mean that collaboration is not an option.
"He still needs to understand what's the word in Indian of 'collaborating,'" Nunnari added.
VIDEO: 'Immortals': Stephen Dorff Says He's the Han Solo of the Greek God Tale
"He's a great guy and very talented," Canton quickly said.
Immortals, out on Nov. 11, features Cavill as Theseus, a peasant tasked to defend humankind against an evil warrior, King Hyperion, set on releasing the Titans, who were once defeated by the gods. Freida Pinto, Stephen Dorff, Kellan Lutz and Luke Evans also star in the film.
"We had a great cast," said Canton. "Mickey and John Hurt and the more experienced actors really I think served almost as tutors for Henry and Luke and Freida. The thing that we've noticed the most is how people are emotionally involved in this story, which was the big thing with us, of course."

CHESTERTOWN Creative costumes, effusive pug-love and spirited socializing prevailed at 14th annual Pug Party & Parade, held recently at the Town of Chester's Dynamite Hill Recreation Area.
The event drew 153 pug contestants, accompanied by hundreds of humans.
Carol Barboza, 75, of Bolton Landing smiled repeatedly as she watched a variety of costumed pugs go by Oct. 20.
Her pugs were dressed up as the Three Bears of Goldilocks fame — each wearing a pair of red long underwear, stuffed bear heads attached to their necks. The getup was complete with bear-paw slippers for each. Barboza has been bringing them to the Pug Parade for about six years, she said. A prior year, she dressed them up as scarecrows.
"Believe me, it's the same as packing up for babies when you take them anywhere," she said, describing the food, water, costumes, and treats that accompany her troupe.
One family of pugs enjoyed a reunion at the Pug Party & Parade, costumed as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves — well, at least six of them.
Jill Metcalf had her pug "Gwen" dressed up as Snow White in a princess gown, and six of Gwen's seven pups — who now belong to other Queensbury residents — were garbed as the dwarves. Metcalf's husband George had his pug "Diego" impersonating Prince Charming.
Stephanie Carota, one of the owners of a toddler pug, said that the pug parade was idea for the canine reunion.
"The dogs are having a great time," she said watching them cavort, causing their costumes to go awry.
Kathleen and Ted Wilson of Queensbury accompanied another of Gwen's offspring, "Bentley," to the pug parade. Bentley was a gift to Wilson's son Luke, 13, because of his scholastic accomplishments.
"This is awesome because Bentley's getting together with his parents again," Luke Wilson said.

It's Now Public: Pet Owners Do Cry
Published: September 9, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
Patricia Benton, a certified social worker and director of bereavement services at the Hospice of Orange and Sullivan in Newburgh, N.Y., has noticed more calls from the pet-bereaved. She talks to them as she would any bereaved client, but not without reservations. "I think because of our wealth, our material surplus, we can treat these animals as if they were our children," Ms. Benton said, "but some people are just so fixated on that animal that they run into trouble, because it's not an accurate perception of the animal."
She says she sometimes gets strange looks from her colleagues at the hospice. "I'll get off the phone and someone will say in disbelief, `You're talking like that about a cat?' " she said, "But the grief is so real and so deep, you have to acknowledge it."
Dedicated in life, devastated by death, humans seem to go through the same stages of grief over losing a pet that they might in losing a human, but with a slight twist: the sadness is intensified by guilt when euthanasia is involved, and there might also be embarrassment at not being able to get over it quickly. Increasingly, for the articulate at least, grief might even lead to a book deal.
Online booksellers like dogwise .com and Amazon.com list dozens of books on the subject. There's the self-published "bereavement set" by Mary and Herb Montgomery, "Goodbye My Friend" (1991), in its 15th printing, and "A Final Act of Caring" (1993), in its sixth. There's also the elegiac memoir "Home Waters: Fishing With an Old Friend" (Chronicle) by Joseph Monninger, recounting the author's last fishing trip with his 11-year-old retriever, Nellie, after her cancer had been diagnosed.
Peter Gethers and his gray cat, Norton, were already a publishing phenomenon. The annals of the inseparable duo are recorded in two books published by Crown, "The Cat Who Went to Paris" (1991) and "A Cat Abroad" (1993), best sellers both, with more than a total of 150,000 sold. Then Norton, 13, became ill; three years later he died in Mr. Gethers's arms.
"Writing a third book about my cat was the last thing on my mind," Mr. Gethers said on Tuesday as he prepared for an eight-city book tour on behalf of "The Cat Who'll Live Forever." But thousands of e-mail messages and letters changed his mind.
Petloss.com started in 1992 as an online bulletin board to pay tribute to pets and share solace and advice. Ed Williams joined shortly after his beagle died of cancer; he started keeping track of the tributes and helping organize the Monday Pet Loss Candle Ceremony, now a regular rite.
There were 16 names and tributes when he started in 1993. Now there are more than 49,000. Under the letter S alone there are 78 cats and dogs named Sadie. There's also a tribute addressed to Socrates that reads, "You filled my heart with so much love, and now there is an iguana- shaped hole in my heart."
Mr. Williams, whose Web site has attracted more than a quarter-million visitors this year, said, "I never intended to do it as a full-time thing, but it takes a lot of time to spell- check the tributes and make sure the grammar is just right." Mr. Williams also sells customized tribute prints, in which photographs of people's pets adorn copies of "Rainbow Bridge," a poem about reunion after death that has become a rallying cry for the bereaved. The prints cost $9.95 to $19.95. "It's kind of inspiring to see how much people care," Mr. Williams said. "They come to the message board all messed up, thinking they're the only ones in the world who feel this way, and then they're helped by all these other people."
Kevin Zdanowicz of Woodbury, N.J., an artist and dog lover, got in too deep after his whippet died. As therapy, he found himself building and selling cat and dog coffins adorned with hand-painted porcelain portraits. After about a year, he quit because he couldn't keep up with demand. "Not that I didn't love the four-legged kids; but it emotionally broke my heart," Mr. Zdanowicz said. "I wasn't just making the boxes, I was doing pet counseling, helping with the memorial. I had to come up from it." Since then, he has become involved in rescuing greyhounds no longer fit for track racing, animals that would otherwise be destroyed.
Pet death may soon lose some of its sting; cloning is on the horizon. PerPETuate, a Sturbridge, Mass., cloning company, is hard at work. Its founder, Ron Gillespie, estimated that a cat will be cloned in less than a year, and a dog within three years. Tissue samples have already been harvested from 100 dogs, cats and a few horses, at $690 each.
"There's no doubt that the world is divided into people who love pets and the people who think those people are crazy," Mr. Gillespie said. He added that he often takes tissue samples from pets on their last legs, or already dead. But he prefers dealing with clients who are "not so emotional."
"I feel guilty taking advantage at their moment of weakness," he said.
Perhaps being emotional about pets, dead or alive, has become the point.

How to Become a Teacher's Aid
So you want to impress a teacher and get on her/his "good list"? Read on to find out the secret to doing this successfully!
1Ask nicely. A teacher won't accept you when you just blurt out: "Please give me books so I can hand them out!"Ad
2Do a good job: It might sound simple, but think it this way, would you hire a guy who can't get the job done right?
3Be constant: A teacher won't take much of a notice if you only do it once.
4Listen to instructions. If you do something incorrectly, then you'll cause a lot of damage.
5Start easy. If you start with big tasks, you'll mess up and blow your chance.Ad
We could really use your help!
annoying your parents?
case studies?
organizing rooms?
Adobe Photoshop?
- If the teacher says no, don't bribe him/her. That will only result to detention.
