Developing resources for social enterprise
Practice No. 930
Last modified: 25/03/2011 08:55:56
Institution: University of the West of England
Recently there has been growing interest in an alternate business model, social enterprise. This is a different way of doing business that trades for a social purpose whereby the social or environmental aims of the business are of equal importance to its commercial activities. Consequently the skills required for running a successful social enterprise combine those typical of enterprise activities generally with a strong motivation and passion for social improvement. We have found that this aspect is useful in engaging researchers because at the heart of social enterprise is a strong commitment to achieving a better society, a motivation that resonates with that which typically drives the research agenda and researchers themselves. This collaborative project with Vitae has been successful in developing written and associated video materials to explore enterprise skills with early career researchers. There are plans to disseminate the resources via Vitae as part of the ongoing move to produce development resources that are freely available to HEIs as part of the research skills development agenda, this is likely to be in January 2011. -

A biopsy performed on a tumor on the left kidney of North Carolina men's basketball coach Roy Williams did not show signs of cancer, the school said Thursday.
Doctors at UNC Hospitals determined the growth was an oncocytoma, a non-cancerous tumor.
Williams had a tumor removed from his right kidney on Sept. 19 which was later determined to also be an oncocytoma, which, doctors said can appear similar to a cancerous tumor on X-rays. Today's findings mean there is no need for surgery on the left kidney.
"The result of the biopsy of the tumor on the left side is great news for Coach Williams and his family," said Dr. Eric Wallen, professor of urology at North Carolina. "He is recovering very well and we will continue to follow his progress. In the meantime, he can return to his normal schedule."
North Carolina will hold its annual season opening Late Night with Roy on Oct. 12.
In a statement, Williams said he's been moved by the outpouring of support he's received both from inside the program and among fellow coaches.
"Saying I'm overwhelmed truly doesn't give justice to how much I appreciate all their thoughts and good wishes," Williams said. "The support has been off the charts."

When I was doing my MASSIVE BAKING MISSION for my sister's birthday last week, I decided to make quite a few different cakes and eats and treats for all the people who were round! I had to account for all the allergies and intolerances in attendance, so, along with the Berry Cheesecake I made, I also decided that (because I'm a ridiculously good sister or because I am ridiculously obsessed with baking… your choice…) I needed to make two more cakes! Granted the other cupcakes were the delicious Mrs Crimbles cake mix, made into vanilla cupcakes, but this one, this one is my own adaptation of a well known and widely replicated Red Velvet Cupcake recipe.
Now, before I go ahead and tell you the recipe, I'll let you into a secret that will probably define me as 'freak' among many of you – I haaaaate chocolate cake. With a passion. Like… if it's there and it's the only sweet thing, I won't have dessert and if someone requests a cake for their birthday and then requests chocolate, I will do everything I can to convince them otherwise. So, why I hear you ask is it that I've gone for the Red Velvet cupcake?!?! You're crazy, I can tell you're thinking. But no, I am not crazy (well maybe a little, but not on this one), I just know that once upon a time, the boyfriend surprised me and brought me a Red Velvet CupCake home in it's own little box and it was theeee most delicious thing ever! So, with that fond memory, I decided to make some of my own!
This recipe is a low calorie version as I was making so many cakes I thought I'd do my bit for the old waist-line!! But if you want to make it 'full fat' then drop me an email and i'll help you on your way! The original recipe called for a baking time of 20 minutes, but if I'm honest, I would take them out at 15 and leave to cool as I like a moist cake, and for me that is the main hold back from chocolate cake!! Anyways… on with the recipe…
120g I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Light
300g Sweetener
2 eggs
20g cocoa powder (make sure it's gluten free!)
40ml red food colouring
1tsp Vanilla Essence
240ml Low Fat Natural Yoghurt
300g Gluten Free plain flour (I used Asda's Free From)
1tsp salt 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
3tsp white wine vinegar (Make sure it's gluten free!)
Preheat the oven to 170°C
1. Cream together the light butter and sweetener with a wooden spoon and then beat together using a whisk until it is really smooth and light.
2. In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, red food colouring and vanilla extract to make a paste. I used a small teaspoon and really pushed the colour into the cocoa powder to ensure an even spread.
3. Add the coloured paste to the butter mixture and using your whisk, mix thoroughly until the red colouring is blended evenly through the butter mixture. As you mix, have a spatula to hand and keep scraping down the sides to make sure you have an even distribution of colour.
4. Grab your wooden spoon again slowly pour in half the buttermilk. Continue mixing, and as you do, add in half the flour. Mix really well until everything is incorporated. Now add in the other half of the buttermild and flour and continue to mix slowly, using the same technique of scraping down the sides every so often to keep all the mixture in the bowl!
5. Once all the ingredients are folded in, really mix it up to beat through the air. Into this mixture, you need to add the salt, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar (if you're baking with children they will love the 'fizz' at this point in the recipe! Or if you're a big kid like me, you'll love it too!!)
6. Beat until well mixed, then give the mixture one last, really big mix (this is an arm-toning recipe too!! My arms were accccching afterwards!! You can use your food mixer if you have one, but you will not have arms of a mixing queen like me! I don't… I still need to go to the gym…)
7. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until two-thirds full and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 mins, or until the sponge bounces back when touched. A skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean.
8. Leave the cupcakes to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
The original recipe, and most Red Velvet recipes to be honest, call for cream cheese frosting, but as I was catering for someone who cannot cheese and wasn't sure about Lacto-free or Dairy Free cream cheese, I thought it would be best to go with a buttercream frosting. So just make up a standard amount of buttercream frosting and use that to decorate your cupcakes once they are completely cooled.
Red Sugar
To make the red sugar that I used to decorate my cupcakes, I added 3 drops of red food colouring to 3 tbsp of caster sugar (you can use granulated if you want!), mix it up until all of the sugar is coated and is red. Then, store in a container if you have leftovers. This will last for ages, so don't worry if you don't use it all!
Assembling the Cupcake Stand
Here is my cupcake stand being assembled. I really recommend getting one if you have a party to cater for. It looks great and they collapse back down again for easy storage! Plus, if you look around, you can probably get one for under £10!

Late tomorrow night, NASA's Kepler spacecraft will—conditions permitting—lift off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on its unprecedented mission to find habitable, Earth-like planets around distant stars.
The $600-million venture will train Kepler's photometer on a group of 100,000 stars several hundred to a few thousand light-years away and track them for more than three years. As the planets believed to reside there pass between their stars and Kepler's detector, the spacecraft will register a slight dip in stellar brightness. Over time these dips can be used to compile a profile of the planetary systems in Kepler's view, which, according to prevailing models of planetary formation, should include several Earth-like planets. Once astronomers know how common Earths are and where in the galaxy they can be found, follow-up missions will be able to refine their searches for extraterrestrial life.
Astronomers are hopeful that Kepler's launch will be more successful than that of NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory, which crashed into the Indian Ocean off Antarctica after failing to reach orbit aboard its Taurus launch vehicle last week. Kepler will blast off on board the well-tested Delta 2 rocket, which boasts a 98.5 percent reliability record according its operator, United Launch Alliance. If all goes well, a scant 62 minutes will pass between liftoff and Kepler settling into an orbit trailing Earth in a loop around the sun.
NASA will stream the launch, which is scheduled to take place between 10:49 P.M. and 11:16 P.M. (Eastern Standard Time), live on NASA TV, and Twitterers can monitor the developments by following the Kepler mission's tweets.
For more on Kepler and its prospects for turning up planets similar to our known, see last week's Q&A with planetary scientist and Kepler team member Alan Boss, author of The Crowded Universe.

""The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling.
Of course, women so empowered are dangerous. So we are taught to separate the erotic from most vital areas of our lives other than sex."
― Audre Lorde.
"Yeah, well.. fuck that, haha."
~ awakyn
I'm a woman living north of San Francisco with a broadly defined sense of the erotic. Not every image here is sexual, but many are & will be.
be old enough & don't view where you could get fired or thrown out of your otherwise happy home. All posts come from the public domain.
I follow most anyone who follows me. I stop following if: (1) You don't post pictures (still, pls feel most welcome here); (2) You really enjoy photos of assholes (I've seen enough now that I'm confident I'll recognize if I come across one in the woods) or cum shots (because it tastes better than it looks); or (3) You're into erotic photos of under-aged humans (because there's so much else that's sexy in this world that blatant exploitation just makes me sad).

ALDE secures recognition of National Transitional Council of LibyaFollowing the overwhelming vote on the EP resolution on Libya, Guy Verhofstadt, ALDE President made the following statement: (ALSO SEE VIDEO LINK) Media law in Hungary: current changes are not enoughOn March 11 the EP adopted a resolution on the controversial Media law in Hungary, which calls upon the Fidez government to further review their media law on the basis of the remarks and proposals made by the European Parliament, OSCE and the Council of Europe Commissioner on Human Rights. The previous week the Hungarian Government amended their media law in line with an agreeement made with the European Commission but ALDE feel they did not go far enough. Turkey has a key role to playOn March 9th the European Parliament voted on Turkey's 2010 progress report. Turkey provides inspiration to many in the Arab world as a secular democracy with a majority Muslim population. Nevertheless the Turkish accession process is facing multiple challenges, not least the issue of Cyprus. Given the current popular uprisings in the Arab world, ALDE feels that Turkey has a key role to play and our Group secured a reference to this important point in the final resolution in light of events throughout the Middle East European Parliament asserts its independence over calendar voteDuring the Strasbourg March plenary session the European Parliament voted to reduce the number of weeks it plans to meet in Strasbourg in the next two years. Europe´s health shows inequalitiesThe European Parliament adopted on March 8th a report proposing the outline of a strategy to reduce health inequalities in the European Union. ALDE underlines the importance of fundamental social objectives through equal opportunities, access and solidarity. Permanent Financial Stability Mechanism: EP demands respect for Community methodOn March 7th the Parliament's Constitutional Affairs Committee adopted a recommendation on changes to article 136 of the Treaty to enable the creation of a permanent financial stability mechanism. H1N1: better risk management neededThe European Parliament adopted on March 8th a report which calls for a new initiative of the management of the H1N1 flu crisis. The main conclusions are a lack of independent evaluation by national and European health authorities, a striking contrast between the number of deaths associated with H1N1 and the number of deaths associated with seasonal influenza, a wide variation in the cost of vaccination strategies among Member States. Liberals call for EU Marshall Plan for new Arab democraciesFollowing a visit to Cairo February 26-27th, Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE group leader), Edward McMillan-Scott (Lib Dem, UK) and Hans Van Baalen (VVD, Netherlands and President of Liberal International) urged the European Union to develop a comprehensive action plan for support and investment in North Africa as a concrete way to bolster support for the new democracy movements spreading across the region. Terrorist Finance Tracking Programme is not respecting data protection safeguardsEuropol's supervisory body published a report in early March on the implementation of the EU-US TFTP agreement (Terrorism Finance Tracking Programme), the so-called SWIFT agreement. The conclusions by the Joint Supervisory Board (overseeing data protection issues) of Europol raise serious concerns about compliance with EU data protection standards as Europol appears to be just rubberstamping requests for the transfer of bulk data, without any kind of scrutiny or oversight. Authorisation of data transfer seems to be given on the basis of oral, unrecorded information, and all relevant documents have been classified top secret. Europe needs a Community Act for economic convergence and governanceThe coming weeks will reveal whether EU leaders have the stomach and vision to address Europe's underlying economic problem - that 17 of the 27 Member States of the EU share a common currency but not a common economic policy. RESPECTING THE RULE OF LAW IN RUSSIADear Prime Minister Putin, The ALDE group secured a paragraph in the resolution on Russia adopted in the February session of the European Parliament, reminding "the Council and the High Representative of the full array of appropriate measures that may be used when faced with systematic human rights abuses and failures to uphold the rule of law".
ALDE hosts a visit of Libyan Interim Transitional National Council DelegationThe ALDE group hosted three members of the Libyan Interim Transitional National Council Delegation in Strasbourg on the 8th and 9th of March. The delegation was composed of Dr. Mahmoud Gebril Elwarfally and Dr. Ali A.S. Al-Issawi, both members of the Executive Team of the Interim Transitional National Council of Libya and responsible for Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Ali Zeidan from the Libyan Human Rights Council. The Delegation addressed the ALDE Group and met the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Lady Catherine Asthon, European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis response, Kristalina Georgieva, European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek, as well as members of all the EP political groups.
European Energy Efficiency Plan: Commission gears up for more savings with renovation and smart metersOn March 8th the European Commission adopted a plan for saving more energy through concrete measures. Energy efficiency is a key tool for strengthening Europe's competitiveness and reduces energy dependence, while decreasing the level of emissions. The set of measures proposed aims at creating substantial benefits for households, businesses and public authorities: it should transform our daily lives and generate financial savings of up to €1000 per household every year. It should improve the EU's industrial competitiveness with a potential for the creation of up to 2 million jobs. Günther Oettinger, European Commissioner responsible for Energy, said: "Despite progress, our estimates show that we need a further decisive and coordinated action on energy efficiency, without which the EU will not meet its objective of 20% energy savings by 2020. It paves the way for the longer term policies needed to achieve a decarbonised and resource-efficient economy by 2050 and to place the EU at the forefront of innovation." The Commission will monitor the implementation of the Action Plan and translate these actions into a legislative proposal in the coming months. It will report on progress in spring 2013 in the framework of the new EU 2020 governance. If the review shows that the overall EU target is unlikely to be achieved, the Commission will propose legally binding targets for 2020. For now, the priority is for binding measures to help Member States, companies and citizens alike to achieve their savings objectives and to save on their energy bills. ALDE Reaction: Commission energy proposals "a betrayal of Europe's interests"
Commenting on the Commission's Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 and the Roadmap for moving to a low carbon economy in 2050 which was adopted on March 8, Lena Ek (Centre Party, Sweden), ALDE spokesperson on the Industry, Research and Energy Committee, said: "The Commission admits that we are about to be leapfrogged by emerging economies such as China and India, which put 48% and 35% respectively of their GDP in capital investments, compared to Europe's meagre 19%. Yet the Commission is not prepared to put more ambitious proposals for our energy future on the table. The proposal for an additional investment rate of 1.5% is good, but more substantial increases are necessary."
Chris Davies (Lib Dem, UK), ALDE spokesperson on the Environment Committee added: "With fuel prices rising and set to stay high energy efficiency targets should be made legally binding now. Not to insist upon this, amounts to a betrayal of Europe's interests." "Short term concerns have been put before the needs of our long term future. European development has been condemned to stay in the slow lane, certain to be overtaken by the fast lane Asian economies. "By opting for complacency and delay we could hardly have been let down more if the Commissioners were acting on behalf of the Chinese Government."
Carl Haglund (Swedish People´s Party, Finland)Carl Haglund is currently serving his first term as Member of the European Parliament as one of Finland's 13 MEPs. He was elected to the European Parliament from the list of the Swedish People's Party in Finland. Prior to that, he worked for the Finnish Government. He first worked as a political advisor to Ministers Astrid Thors and Stefan Wallin, and then from November 2008 held the post of State Secretary with responsibility for culture, sports, youth and gender equality matters.

What is it about Dr's offices – especially those in large well funded institutions- that has there be a dirth of customer service? If I pulled half the crap with my clients that the hospitals pulls on me – I wouldn't have any clients!
Case in point- Before the holidays I went into meet with a GI specialist to get more information about the whole feeding tube proceedure. For some reason a perfectly lovely well mannered nurse came in to take my vitals before meeting with him, and after about 10 minutes of the weight, blood pressure etc. she asked me why I was there. Really? You don't know? Isn't there a log or a script for the Feeding tube GI lecture appointment? I was abit taken back. I said, "Didn't they tell you?" And as she looked at me funny all I could think was if I did this to one of my clients I'd be fired. Now, this was a small thing, and apparently there was no record of why in the hell an ALS patient was there to speak to the resident feeding tube guru…but why is the burden on me, the patient, to tell you your business? MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!
I recall when I first began having appointments at this same institution being referred to by the front desk staff in neurology as "Blue Cross/ Blue Shield". I didn't have a name I had a carrier. I thought it was interesting how my identity became synonymous with a product my company had purchased, rather than anything to do with me. I went on a mission to win over those frontdesk gals, with my graciousness and fabulous shoe collection…they quickly became my favorite part of my appointments and I ended up with my proper name. But it took something to breakthrough the monotonous wall of their routine.
Today I was alerted to an article in which a friend of mine, David deBronkhart, who happens to be the co-chair of the Society for Participatory Medicine, was quoted as saying," What part of 'Give us our damn data' do you not understand?" in regards to the problem many have faced when needing to get THEIR OWN RECORDS from the hospital who THEY ARE PAYING TO CARE FOR THEM. In many cases, some laid out in this article by Elizabeth Cohen, a CNN Senior medical Corrrespondent, entitled: Patients Demand:'Give Us Our Damned Data'; NOT HAVING THEIR MEDICAL RECORDS IN HAND HAS CAUSE HARM TO THE PATIENT. What about the oath of first do no harm?
I personally have about 100 more instances of insult to injury added to my journey of testing and diagnosis, I mean I could go on and on for days …and I am 1 person. I have had the wrong test done- am MRA was done when an MRI was perscribed. I have had Blood tests lost repeatedly. I have had no less than a dozen physicians perscribe anti-depressants to me because I was visibly upset over my symptoms and the lack of a diagnosis…but not one of them recommended I see a therapist/counselor or psychiatrist for support. I actually think it was their inability to just be with my upset that made them want to throw a pill at the issue. There is a vast difference between being upset and being depressed my friends! I even had a surgeon tell me that if he were in my shoes and he was suddenly unable to do what he had trained much of his life to do, he would be depressed. Which may have been the best agrument I had heard up to that point but as a student of the brain I was crystal clear about my state of mind. I share this because I believe it was a cop out to throw a pill at a few tears and I think it happens far too often in our culture especially to women. That's not customer service – that's just lazy medicine.

Fish Screening & Irrigation Diversion Protection
In Washington, stream flows are commonly diverted or pumped to provide irrigation to crops and livestock, which has detrimental effects on fish. There are thousands of in-stream diversions or pumps currently withdrawing water from Washington streams. To adequately protect fish, including salmon and steelhead, from being washed into agricultural fields through irrigation channels or killed through irrigation pumps, fish exclusion devices are necessary. Currently, only a small percentage of stream diversions or pumps are believed to be fully screened to protect fish.
The Fish Screening Technical Assistance unit is an essential part of the state's salmon recovery efforts. This unit is a recognized leader in regional fish protection technologies and has been the primary installer of fish screening facilities in the state. However, unscreened diversions and pumps are so numerous in the state that WDFW cannot tackle the problem without the assistance of landowners, other state and federal agencies, local governments, Indian Tribes, Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups, Lead Entities, private citizens, and others. For this reason, WDFW has developed guidance documents for the inventory, assessment, and prioritization of poorly screened irrigation diversions and for the design of new structures. WDFW also created a Technical Assistance group to provide statewide assistance with screening project development, conceptual design, screen fabrication design, screen type selection, application of current state and federal screening criteria, and assistance in procuring project funding.

No Oprah, No Jonah
ROBYN BECK/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
But first… Yes Tatiana Maslany. YES. YES. YES. And Amy Poehler. YES. YES. YES. Every year, the Hollywood Foreign Press decides to anoint a show, and often earlier than the other award boards. This year, that show is Masters Of Sex, right? Michael Sheen received a nomination and the show is now contending for Best Drama. Full Story
Emily Blunt helps Tom Cruise
A trailer for Tom Cruise's upcoming Edge Of Tomorrow was released yesterday. Hate the title, but I suppose they were worried about All You Need Is Kill, particularly the word "kill". Even though there seems to be a lot of killing going on. You know what though? Based on this preview alone, it looks good. Full Story
Coop's got Suki but no SAG
Ilya S. Savenok/ Getty
Everyone I know who's seen American Hustle loved it.

The only Hustle cast member individually recognised by the Screen Actors Guild today however was Jennifer Lawrence. Full Story

Blake changes management

Remember when Blake Lively fronted Chanel? That lasted about 5 minutes. Blake's a Gucci girl right now. Why didn't Karl want to extend that relationship? You can't tell me that the decision was hers.

A teaser trailer for the Wachowskis' upcoming Jupiter Ascending was released yesterday. The film stars Mila Kunis as Jupiter, a janitor who, really, should be the Queen.

Godzilla Rising
I couldn't get down with Pacific Rim I wanted to, but it was just so lazy and predictable.

Tom Cruise Jr still has a girlfriend
You know how bad sh-t puts bad sh-t into perspective? Twilight 5 was on the other night. Not the greatest movie. But now that I've seen The Sound Of Music Live, well, suddenly Twilight not such an abomination. Now that I've cringed through Stephen Moyer, Taylor Lautner's lookin' pretty good. Full Story
Khal Drogo vs. Batman vs. Superman
One of my favorite new video games this year is Injustice: Gods Among Us, which is a fighting game that pits all of DC Comics' best superheroes and villains against each other. It's a solid game, with decent graphics (characters look GREAT but the backgrounds get a little muddy), and slick mechanics and, well, if you've ever wanted to watch Batman curb-stomp Superman, this is the game for you.

Leo's longer hair

Western Digital posts 15 percent Middle East growth
US-based Western Digital International, a personal computing storage company, announced an overall growth of 15 percent for year 2001 in its operation in the Middle East with a total market share of 35 percent for the region. Western Digital is the only hard drive manufacturer with regional offices in the Middle East.
"Western Digital's significant growth rates achieved in year 2001 reflect the company's increased focus on the Middle East market in both the business and the consumer sectors," said Heidi Berger, Western Digital vice president for marketing, Europe and the Middle East.
Western Digital has achieved record year-to-year quarter sales increase in 2001 in the Middle East, with growth rates of 50 percent in Egypt, 35.9 percent in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and 13 percent in Saudi Arabia.
According to a recent IDC study, Western Digital has shipped more 7200 RPM drives than any of its competitors in the first quarter of 2001, making it the market leader in that category globally, as well as locally in the Middle East.
Western Digital is one of only two providers of hard drives to Microsoft's newly launched gaming console, the X-Box, which is now available in the Middle East markets.
WD's local channel partners in the Middle East, Techdata and Al-Yousuf, hold 50 percent of WD's market share for the Middle East. Jamjoom Advanced Technology and Nahil Computers in Saudi Arabia and North Africa Company (NAC) in Egypt reported notable share growth. In the UAE, Western Digital is represented distributors Servex, Al-Yousuf Computers and Techdata.
Founded in 1970, Western Digital provides products and services for the collection, management and use of digital information. Its core business is hard drive solutions. — (menareport.com)

I applaud the posters who provided detailed suggestions to improve the process and quality of judging at figure skating competitions. Well done!
In my opinion, there have been times that a competitive skaters scores have defied reason. Im not referring to the dreaded national bias, which unfortunately will probably always be part of the equation, and hopefully a very miniscule part of the equation.
My angst focuses on a basic knowledge of figure skating technique how axels, lutzes, flips, loops, camel spins, sit spins, scratch spins, etc are supposed to be performed. Lets stick to the basics, please. Judges have to be extremely knowledgeable on the elements if there is to be any level of expectation that they will award appropriate scores.
If Im correct about this, national and international skating judges are required to pass competency tests and remain current on the process of judging. No doubt, some of them opted to jump ship when the tried and true 6.0 system was abolished. Those who chose to stay, and all new judges, absolutely MUST be up to speed on this process. Granted, it can be difficult to watch every single element in a four-minute routine, especially when they are delivered in rapid succession; however, thats the way it is, and you have to keep your eyes focused like a laser beam on the programs if youre a judge.
Personally, I would like to keep this as simple as possible. Most of us are not Einsteins, and the CoP is, most likely, very confusing for many folks and drives them away from following the sport.
I prefer a KISS (keep it simple, skating) approach to scoring. Have a basic point assignment for the jumps perhaps a 6 for a quad, a 5 for a triple/triple combination, a 4 for any other triple, a 3 for a double, a 4 for combination spins, a 3 for single spins, 4 for serpentine footwork, etc. Right next to the base element, have a point score of 1 to 5 for presentation. A completed quad would receive a 6, and if it was executed perfectly, it would receive a 5, for a total of 11. If a completed quad was executed poorly, it would receive a 1, for a total of 7.
I would award scores only on what was performed. If a skater falls on a lutz, that jump would not receive a score, plain and simple.
The panel of judges would consist of a dozen people representing the world on a global basis. Six would serve as technical judges and six would serve as presentation judges. They would be paired in six teams, with two judges on each team.
The overall point totals would be calculated, as quickly as possible.
Overall total scores:
90 and above = 6.0
85-89 = 5.9
80-84 = 5.8
75-79 = 5.7
70-74 = 5.6
65-69 = 5.5
60-64 = 5.4
And so on ..
Let the computer calculate the scores, and let the scores be easy for us to see. This could be a great partnership between the marvels of the computer and the 6.0 system.
Just my two cents, of course.

Croydon Harriers seal third place in the Lily B League final
8:30am Tuesday 3rd September 2013 in Sport
By Matthew Kiernan
Croydon Harriers girl's team completed their track & field summer campaign with a third place finish at the Lily B League Cup Final at Ewell on Saturday.
The team finished comfortably on the podium in the six-club fixture on 287.5 points, behind winners Kingston AC & Polytechnic Harriers (332.5), and runners-up Guildford & Godalming (318.5), but well clear of Herne Hill Harriers (166), Sutton & District (103) and Dorking & Mole Valley (91.5).
Marcia Sey led the way in the U13 girl's events with wins in the 200m (28.1 seconds) and 70m hurdles (12.0secs). Ashleigh Clarke matched that feat in the U17 women's sprints with victories in the 100m (12.4secs) & 200m (26.5secs).
More double event winners were found in the U17 women's category with Anieshka Mido (hammer and shot), and Emma Fossett (javelin and discus) both triumphing.
In the 75m hurdles, Sonyce Archer (12.0secs) and Chanice Gordon (12.8secs) topped the standings in the U15 girl's event to ensure maximum points.
On the field, Renae Jackson (19.57m) and Ines Zepa (18.03m) took maximum points in the U13 girl's discus,
Further wins came courtesy of Lauryn John-Greenwood (1.48m, U15 girl's high jump) and Coralie Mido (U15 girl's shot putt, 8.65m).
Croydon rounded off the day with two wins in the 4x100m relays thanks to the U15 girls (52.1secs) and the U13 girls (53.9secs).

Absolutely fabulous. My niece in Belfast has been sending me a John Hinde Calender for years and I can never throw them out when the year ends. The photos are so beautiful. Looks like I will have to have a large coffin when the time comes so that the Calenders can come with me.

I have been purchasing Hinde cork placemats for over 15 years, they keep their color and last quite a long time! I'm actually getting ready to order my 4th set! Love his work, it's nice to re-read his story no and again.

Yes I remember when Mr. Hyde set up his printing plant. I worked for George Watt in Bridgefoot st in Dublin.
We built special drying elevators for the sheets of post cards after they were treated with a clear emulsion which was then passed through a hot roll ironing machine.
It was this process that created the brilliant finish on the post card. You were able to carefully peel of the emulsion surface and the printed image stayed with the emulsion and looked like a transparency. On one occasion I was involved in machining a special fixture to mount on a Jeep to hold the Camera and telephoto Len's which was used by Mr Hinde when he was in Africa.Mr Hinde a physical disability that never spotted him doing fantastic work

It is the Ireland that I still imagine even though I have been there 20 times. I'm pleased that it is the "default setting" in my head because I love Ireland that way. The places I go (I'll never tell) are no so far removed from the classic Hinde image and the people are still friendly, funny and genuine.

Apart from his ability to 'choreograph' he also managed to show Ireland as a country without a Telegraph/telephone system. None of his shots show the thousands of miles of Telegraph poles and cables. He also showed an Ireland with beautiful and constant blue skies. He was truly an artist with a camera with a great ability to manipulate an image long before Photoshop was thought of.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight's Nancy O'Dell, Alicia Keys revealed that she would love to join forces with the country singer for a future collaboration. During the Grammy Awards, Alicia's dressing room was near Miranda's, and the R&B singer told her "how incredible she is and how beautiful her voice is." Alicia added that she loved Blake Shelton too. After the Grammys, Miranda tweeted that she and Alicia traded phone numbers backstage. Let's hope the two find time to make something work!

A Crime So Monstrous: Face to Face with Human TraffickingE. Benjamin Skinner The first person in history to witness negotiations for the sale of human beings on four continents, E. Benjamin Skinner is single handedly raising awareness of modern day slavery. In his shocking and brutally honest book, "A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to- Face with Modern Day Slavery", Skinner tells the story of individuals who live in slavery, those who have escaped from bondage, those who own or traffic in slaves, and the mixed political motives of those who seek to combat the crime. Skinner went undercover at great personal risk, infiltrating trafficking networks and slave sales on in countries around the world, exposing a modern flesh trade. From mega-harems in Dubai to illicit brothels in Bucharest, from slave quarries in India to child markets in Haiti, he explores the underside of a world we scarcely recognize as our own and lays bare a parallel universe where human beings are bought, sold, used, and discarded. Recently named National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Skinner is a graduate of Wesleyan University. He is currently a fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard Kennedy School of Government and previously served as a Research Associate for U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations as well as Special Assistant to Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. As a writer engaged in the study of the U.S. and global political economies, his articles have appeared in Newsweek International, Travel + Leisure, Los Angeles Times, The Miami Herald, Foreign Policy and others. Skinner is donating twenty-five percent of the A Crime So Monstrous's royalties goes to groups dedicated to fighting slavery. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to- Face with Modern Day Slavery is available at the Queens Campus Bookstore for $12.25 (marked down from $16.00)

Bonnie for more on Yahoo! let's bring in rob an early principal analyst at the end -- group what happens with Yahoo! from here.
There it will young to be able to remain independent -- or does it have to get acquired someway somehow by the public god.
Well it depends on -- they bring on board.
It certainly can't remain independent mean take back apple wasn't far worse shape than Yahoo! is when Steve Jobs came back in turn the company around.
So it and we've certainly seen examples of companies that were far worse -- becoming far better.
But they do have to get their act together they really need death at at a board level.
This company asked the function of the board's dysfunctional.
No executives going to be able pulled us out of the fact they were able even able to get the guy's resume right -- -- that the old board needed to go and.
Did and what do will the new -- -- do you believe that the new board will be significantly different at least be able to take that company.
In a more well six -- -- of correction.
Well they're they're motivated to do that that's -- -- came on board had to drive that particular change.
I actually very motivated.
Detected to drive the company forward I mean to me it looked like it was pretty clear that that the company is in them in the web media business so that's probably where they needed to invest at the very least they needed to CEO that had a background in media.
I've of course Thomson didn't have that and and that at the most -- a background of media and a turn -- experience they've nab that I herself.
The hope is that they're gonna get a chief executive again they can really do the job that has the qualifications Pope on Paper and off.
That she get that get the job done and and this board appears to motivated to make that happen.
And one thing I did want to touch on from a company that is struggling mightily to -- that is firing on all cylinders.
That is soaring and that apple why wouldn't Dow Jones are why wouldn't Italy the in the -- averaged the Dow Industrials take on apple.
And it's -- with the biggest company in the world why would that be added to the industrials I know that there are some reasons -- East -- -- possible.
Well the problem is apple is just so highly valued at that -- Dow Industrials would be mostly about apple they came on board.
Now the short term Apple's trading so well.
That it -- up uplift the industrials to might get people investing more heavily.
On the other hand -- talking that apple post Steve Jobs and and it did slide like most of this to think it will eventually I'd do it could take that would -- the strolled down whether it.
And at the end of the day the Dow Industrials are supposed to be about the health of the United States not about the health of any one company.
And right now apple is is overweight it would it would it would put -- Dow Industrials and an imbalance.
Wait you focused on apple and that means the Dow Industrials would be apple and that's not what we wanted.
That would have this is they would have to split the stock significantly in order because that the price weighted index -- it wouldn't.
Dominate the Dow -- to the point -- it would right now yet rob thank you so much it was great talking on the day as always rob vendor like.
