On November 17, 2012, Al-Hayat featured an a peculiarly illuminating article written by Mohammad al-Sawi, about the Egyptian composer Riyad al-Sunbati (1906-1981), which should be of considerable interest to lovers of classical Arab music. Under the title "Riyad al-Sunbati: Philosopher of Arab Music," al-Sawi credits the musical compositions of al-Sunbati with a seminal classicism in both traditional and modern currents of the history of Arab music in the 20th century. The author recalls a time when al-Sunbati once occupied a special place in the imagination of the Egyptian middle class, as a bastion of "authenticity," a bulwark against "unhealthy emotionalism." For some time al-Sunbati was the only composer for Oum Kulthoum, and as al-Sawi writes, he complained about working with the Egyptian diva, mainly due to the many liberties she took with his compositions. There was even a midnight incident in which al-Sunbati, at his witts end, left in anger, telling her to "go ahead and compose it yourself." Nevertheless, the two remained respectful and appreciative of each other. Al-Sunbati wrote some of the real classics for Oum Kulthoum, including one of my favorites, "Al Atlal" (The Ruins). The success of "Al Atlal" had almost convinced the two giants to retire, al-Sawi says, and why not? for "Al Atlal" is considered a musical treasure, the most important Arab song of the 20th century. Al-Sunbati was honored by a great many, including president Nasser and Sadat as well as the UNESCO.

> Apparently there's one award that a false PED accusation can't take away from Ryan Braun, and that's one of the three outfield Silver Slugger awards. Braun has basically had this award locked down ever since he arrived in the Majors, this season being the fifth consecutive in which he took home an outfield SS. (The reason I say "one of the outfield awards" is because there is no specific left field award; the awards just go to the three top offensive outfielders regardless of which outfield position they play.)
But Braun winning this award doesn't make it any better that he was robbed of the Hank Aaron Award, and will be robbed of the MVP. Just something we'll have to live with for likely the next few seasons.
Anyway, here are the rest of the Silver Slugger winners at their respective positions:
American League
Catcher: A.J. Pierzynski
First Base: Prince Fielder
Second Base: Robinson Cano
Third Base: Miguel Cabrera
Shortstop: Derek Jeter
Outfield: Mike Trout
Outfield: Josh Willingham
Outfield: Josh Hamilton
Designated Hitter: Billy Butler
National League
Catcher: Buster Posey
First Base: Adam LaRoche
Second Base: Aaron Hill
Third Base: Chase Headley
Shortstop: Ian Desmond
Outfield: Andrew McCutchen
Outfield: Jay Bruce
Outfield: Braun
Pitcher: Stephen Strasburg
Now for a few pieces of news I've missed over the last few days…
> Hunter Morris was named the Topps Southern League Player of the Year. He just can't stop winning awards; now let's hope he isn't falsely accused of using steroids sometime this offseason.
> Carlos Gomez was given the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year award for the Brewers.
Defense appears to be second sense to him; now let's see if Gomez can build off his solid offensive campaign in 2012. If the Brewers don't sign Hamilton, Gomez is the guy they're going to fall back on.
> Brock Kjeldgaard left the Arizona Fall League with a broken foot. He is going to have surgery this week, but will be ready for Spring Training.
> Santo Manzanillo also left the AFL due to a sore right shoulder. He got murdered for seven runs in just two innings over the course of three AFL games.
But poor Manzanillo never really managed to get healthy all year. He got into a car accident in late 2011, which affected his arm, and probably his performance.
> Minor moves:
Diamondbacks: Signed Garrett Mock to a minor league deal.
Mets: Signed Greg Burke to a minor league deal.
Indians: Outrighted Kevin Slowey, who elected free agency; signed Hector Rondon and Luis Hernandez to minor league contracts.
Red Sox: Signed Mitch Maier to a minor league deal.
Pirates: Signed Darren Ford and Jared Goedart to minor league deals.
Royals: Re-signed Manny Pina to a minor league deal.
Blue Jays: Acquired ex-Brewer Jeremy Jeffress from the Royals; signed Maicer Izturis to a three-year deal; designated Scott Maine for assignment.
Rangers: Acquired Tommy Hottovy from the Royals.
Angels: Signed ex-Brewer Mitch Stetter to a minor league deal.
Reds: Outrighted Bill Bray and Wilson Valdez, both of whom elected free agency.
Phillies: Re-signed Kevin Frandsen to a one-year deal.

HP commits to further GHG emissions reductions in joining WWF Climate Savers
Posted on 13 February 2008
HP, one of the world's largest IT companies, has pledged to reduce the emissions from its own operations and the use of its products to 6 million tonnes below 2005 levels by 2010.HP, one of the world's largest IT companies, has pledged to reduce the emissions from its own operations and the use of its products to 6 million tonnes (20%) below 2005 levels by 2010.
Progress towards this goal, a commitment entered into in joining the World Wildlife Fund/WWF Climate Savers program, has been so significant that HP is now looking to define new goals.
In energy terms, HP has now committed itself to reduce energy consumption by 15 percent in its operations from 2005 levels, while achieving a 25 % reduction in the energy used by its products and operations combined below 2005 levels by 2010. Even with an increase in revenues, total energy use was down 19.2 % below 2005 levels by October 2007.
"WWF commends HP for its strong commitment to energy reductions—not only within its own operations, but in placing a strong emphasis on increasing energy efficiency in its products," said Carter Roberts, WWF-US President and CEO. "HP's bold actions should serve as a model for other technology companies seeking to transform the way they do business to help protect the planet."
"HP has been an environmentally-sensitive company for decades; it's simply part of our culture and DNA," said Mark Hurd, Chairman and CEO, HP. "We take a leadership role in climate change initiatives like WWF Climate Savers, and we will continue to seek innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint."
HP's announcement comes as companies from around the world gathered to discuss business strategies to reduce climate change at the Climate Savers Tokyo Summit. During the summit, HP said it will sign the Tokyo Declaration – a call to action and renewed commitment on global warming.
Between 1987 and 2007, HP recycled one billion pounds of its products, representing 900,000 tonnes of avoided greenhouse gas emissions, and it set a new goal to recover another one billion pounds by the end of 2010.
HP made further progress in January 2008 when it announced a commitment to reduce the energy consumption of its volume desktop and notebook PC families by 25 percent by 2010, and today it is working to consolidate its 85 data centers worldwide into six data centers with high-efficiency servers and cooling technology.
Beginning in 2006, HP embarked on a joint initiative with World Wildlife Fund-US to establish an absolute reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions from HP's operating facilities worldwide, explore efficiency goals for products, educate and inspire others to adopt best practices for climate change initiatives and use HP technology in conservation efforts around the world by 2010.
WWF's Climate Savers was founded in 1999 and currently comprises 15 major international companies committed to reducing their total emissions by over 10 million tons of carbon dioxide per year.
In its first attendance at a WWF Climate Savers Conference - this year starting on 15 January hosted by Sony Corporation in Tokyo - HP is expected to join other leading global brands calling for more concerted action on climate change.

Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hit Calgary on their tour of Canada, where they donned cowboy hats and had a knee-slappin' good time.
Prince William and Princess Shinylocks™ arrived on a horse-drawn carriage. Just like their wedding day!
The Duke scored a 6.5 on his dismount.
"Darling, are there going to be ponies? I simply adore ponies."
"So many people wearing blue jeans! Hilarious!"
Spot the person who is feeling sheepish.
"Will, would you like to hear a sheep joke?"
"Of course!"
"What did the sheep say about Gone With The Wind?"
"Tell me, love."
"Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a lamb."
"Sweetheart, would you like to hear another sheep joke?"
"Oh by all means, Kate, do tell another."
"Alright! How do sheep in Mexico say Merry Christmas?"
"Hmm… How?"
"Fleece Navidad!"
"Oh, Kate! You are so clever."
(Insert your own ass joke here.)
Do you think they take ibuprofen in the evenings because their faces hurt from smiling so much?

Best known for his hot Power Vinyasa style, super-star Yogi, Baron Baptiste has teamed up with a leading authority on Multiple Sclerosis, Dr. Elliot Frohman to develop a yoga program for people living with MS. The video called My MS Yoga is an at home practice designed to address the specific needs of MS patients as they change from day to day.
The creators of the video and it's corporate owner, Biogen IDEC, a Fortune 500 biotechnology company and leading MS pharmaceutical corporation and sponsor, Elan, also a biotechnology company that produces medications for MS, are offering the video free of charge while supplies last to those who register on the My MS Yoga website.
Viewing ads supports YogaBasics. Remove ads with a membership. Thanks!
Other yoga instructors have created yoga videos for people with MS, but Baptiste is the first to team up with the pharmaceutical industry to create a yoga offering. Baptiste is best known for his challenging, sweat-inducing power vinyasa classes and his popular "Boot camps," which are intensive practices of Power Vinyasa, meditation, diet and activity. Baptiste's signature style is much different than the unique needs of MS patients, but in the introduction to the video series Baptise addresses the adaptation factor of yoga for MS patients. He addresses the heat sensitivity that MS patients often experience, and claims to address these individual needs in the series.
Dr. Frohman encourages patients to exercise, mentally and physically, in addition to finding a manageable treatment plan. Using yoga as the physical exercise approach and the possibility of day-to-day differences, the My MS Yoga program offers 3 different videos that address foundation, restoration and transformation. From the sound of the introduction, it sounds as if the video series are well researched and presented.
Most, if not all, MS patients have a medical treatment plan in order to manage the disease and improve their quality of life. Just as with many other physical and neurological ailments, a successful medical treatment plan is essential. Dr. Frohman states that "drugs have a place," but encourages other forms of treatment and support are valid and empowering.
In truth, I was, and to a point, am skeptical. Not about the power of yoga in supporting and dealing with MS, but in the sponsorship of the video series. I do not have much exposure to Mr. Baptiste, so I have to trust that the right teacher was chosen for the job, and not merely because of his level of fame or marketability. But, amazing videos and teachers are currently accessible for patients with MS, without the backing of any major pharmaceutical corporations. Without having seen the videos, it is difficult to ascertain the motives of the creators and sponsors.
What I do know is that yoga is a powerful tool, regardless of the package. And, to make it accessible, and free is a gift to the hundreds of thousands of people living with MS in the US. As long and the participants are clear about the source, then the asanas and techniques are universal and can be applied to your life in a positive way. One of the greatest gifts of this practice is discernment, one which can effectively be applied in this case, I hope.

In technical analysis, an indicator that a downtrend is reversing itself. It is marked by a gradual decline in a security's price, followed by a bottom, and finally by a gradual increase. It is important to note that the bottom has low trading volume. The term comes from the fact that, when charted, a saucer trend looks like a small bowl. It is also called a rounded bottom.
In technical analysis, a U-shaped chart pattern that indicates a market bottom for the security or market index being graphed. Also called rounded bottom. See also reversal pattern.

Larry Drew took the high road Thursday following his unceremonious replacement two days earlier as coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.
When Jason Kidd's apparent power play in Brooklyn failed, the Bucks swapped two second-round draft picks to acquire the future Hall of Famer as their coach. That happened to be the position Drew held with the team.
But Drew, a former star at Missouri and a 10-year NBA veteran, has been down this NBA coaching road before. He had three winning seasons in his first stint as a head coach with the Atlanta Hawks from the 2010-11 season through 2012-13, but a 10-14 record in the playoffs eventually led to his dismissal.
Then the Bucks went an NBA-worst 15-67 last season, with injuries and an eye toward a top-heavy draft class leading some to suspect the club could have cared less about its record.
Latest Chicago Bulls
In a statement titled, "Thank you Milwaukee," Drew expressed surprise at his release but said he was thankful for the opportunity.
"I would like to thank Senator Herb Kohl and John Hammond for giving me the opportunity to coach the Milwaukee Bucks this past season. Although my tenure was brief, it will forever be memorable.
"Thank you to all of the great Bucks fans for your love and support, you truly are some of the best fans in the NBA.
"My swift termination did come as a surprise to me, but I accept new owners Wesley Edens' and Marc Lasry's decision that they've made. I wish the entire Bucks organization and the great city of Milwaukee nothing but the best in the future."

If my signs have spoken my heart they will have told you every thing that is grateful, paternal, and affectionate." He and George [Washington Lafayette] have paid their first visit to "the venerated tomb" [of George Washington] and her brother [George Washington Parke Custis] "gave me a ring containing some of the hair of both." Responds to her enquiry regarding Fanny [Frances] and Camilla Wright. "there was formed between them and my family a very particular friendship and from me to them a paternal affection warmly reciprocated" following the publication of Frances Wright's journey to the United States [Views of Society and Manners in America] "the only book favourable to America that ever came from an English pen." "Miss Wright is enthusiastically beloved by some, admired by many, envied by others, as is generally the case with distinguished talents and generous unreserved souls."

I don't know about you, but I wish the producers of Teen Mom 2 would ban their little starlets from any type of social media and ban them from the tabloids…at least during the season. I'd be a lot more inclined to root for Jenelle Evans if I didn't know what a train wreck she's become. Also, I'd be more invested in Leah Messer Simms Calvert's love triangle and Kailyn Lowry's attempt to make Jo jealous if I didn't already know the ending. As for Chelsea Houska, I'm glad to see that beauty school is going so well…but that's the only surprise of the season!
Kailyn is finished with school for the summer, and she's excited to spend more time with Javi and Isaac. I'll give it to Javi…he's really great with Isaac. Of course, she's yet to set up any kind of co-parenting counseling with Jo. Kailyn is ready for Javi to move in since he's spent every night at her place for months. Let's break it down…she's ready for Javi to stop freeloading and help with the rent and the cleaning. Kailyn admits she doesn't want to hold against him the fact that she foots the bill should the two argue. Again, I find it hilarious (and I know I write this every week!) that she wants a live-in boyfriend, yet Jo's girlfriend can't even be on the same premises as Isaac. Kailyn is just ready to get married. At twenty, she isn't getting any younger. MTV needs a swift kick in the pants for glorifying these girls!

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Rodney McGruder scored 22 points to lead Kansas State to a 72-53 win over South Carolina-Upstate on Sunday.

Later in the second half, Adrian Diaz added three baskets in quick succession to increase the Wildcats' advantage to 56-31 with 13:21 to play.
After a basket by McGruder gave Kansas State a 58-31 lead, big men D.J. Johnson, Nino Williams, Gipson and Diaz scored the next 14 points for the Wildcats.

Hey Bruce!! Outstanding post!! I've built a display board (large sandwich) for our D-2 which features copies of original sales brochers this will be an outstanding addition!! Thanks!!
Bruce Oz---
Thanks again for posting the Nebraska Tests results up for us old codgers that would not find them easily otherwise!!!!!!!!!
I find myself coming back and referencing this site over and over again.
Delta Dirt
Delta Dirt
Avon, Ms 38723
D2 5U and other scrap iron
Another source that has most tractor brands is http://www.tractordata.com/
Now drawbar HP ratings on all tractors are performed on concrete so it doesn't reflect real world results.
The Nebraska test were started way back when tractor manufacturers were making outrageous claims to sell tractors. The state of NE mandated them and they subsequently became the industry benchmark that allowed customers to actually see test results that covered fuel consumption, PTO/belt power and HP so they could compare brands.
Thanks a lot, Bruce! There are so many tests on that website. They are so interesting. By the way, how did you find them?

The central goal of this initiative is the establishment, within each of the eight partner states (AL, DE, MS, MO, NH, PA, SC and WV), of a successful, sustainable, e-Learning for Educators program that will help address state-wide teacher quality needs and have impact on student achievement. This goal will be met by state teams comprised of the staff from the state department of education, a public broadcasting station, and other relevant organizations, supported by central resources, guidance, and consulting services made available through the overall initiative. Within each state, cadres of e-Learning instructors and e-Learning course developers will be trained and e-Learning courses will be developed to meet high priority state needs. Substantial numbers of teachers in each state will receive professional development via e-Learning, with a particular emphasis on teachers from Title I eligible schools and districts.
An independent evaluation will focus on goals, benchmarks, and outcomes for each project activity. The evaluation results will be used to inform ongoing improvement of the program within each state and the initiative as a whole. The initiative plan also includes six randomized design research studies to explore the impact of e-Learning for Educators courses on teachers' content knowledge and classroom practices, as well as on the achievement of their students. This series of research studies will provide replications across content areas, grade levels, and states to provide the first large-scale, replicated studies of the effect of e-learning on student achievement.

School districts grappling with achievement gaps, increasing student diversity, teacher shortages and attrition, and constantly changing instructional technology need professional development that delivers results—and online professional development support can help.
PBS has the necessary expertise to create and deliver successful online learning. Its current Ready To Teach-funded TeacherLine service has engaged nearly 10,000 educators in the last year alone, and experimental research suggests TeacherLine's positive contribution to improved student achievement.
PBS also understands the need and necessary steps to improve online professional development. Recent research suggests that it will be most effective when developed with the deliberate intent to integrate it with specific, research-based local models such as coaching, mentoring and communities of practice.
PBS is seeking Ready To Teach funding to build upon its record of accomplishment with PBS TeacherLine, advancing educational theory and practice by developing a new type of model for online professional and organizational learning. Going beyond online courses, the project will embed online professional development in comprehensive local initiatives for teacher quality, student achievement of rigorous academic standards, and school reform. Expected project outcomes include improved student achievement with a particular focus on math, reading, and language arts; improved teacher content knowledge and practice; and increased coherence of local professional development planning, particularly in Title I and high-need settings. PBS will dedicate implementation assistance to high-need districts and will involve them in all phases of the project evaluation: at least 50 percent of total program participants will work in Title I or high-need settings. Working with nearly 80 local stations and other organizations, the project will reach 40,000 educators per year nationwide by year five of the grant term. PBS looks forward to working with partners Hezel Associates, Indiana University, and Learning Point Associates to advance the field of online learning for educators and improve teaching and learning in America's classrooms.

- Develop and deliver training to help teachers learn to utilize these resources, especially teachers in schools where there is a high percentage of Title I children;
- Develop and deliver training that moves the effective use of these resources into teacher preparation programs; and
- Use scientifically-based evaluation to determine the effectiveness of the resources in producing meaningful effects on teacher performance and student achievement.

Colorado's statewide public broadcasting network, Rocky Mountain PBS, the Colorado Department of Education, Responsive Research and Consultation, and Digital Directions, Inc., an educational multimedia company, have partnered to further develop and scale up delivery of an advanced, technology-based, sheltered-instruction, math intervention program targeting limited English proficient (LEP) students and other students. Major components include:
- Increasing student achievement (in math and English language acquisition) of LEP students; using an experimental model, the project looks for gains in math and language proficiency by students using a specific technology-based math intervention;
- Expanding and enhancing the Help with English Language Proficiency Program (HELP Program), an advanced, technology-based, math intervention that applies techniques to make content comprehensible to LEP students; addressing the cultural and linguistic instructional differentiation necessary for LEP students, and increasing participant engagement in math through the use of technology, targeting delivery to high- need middle schools that are highly impacted by LEP students, low socio-economic status, and low achievement in math;
- Creating a system of professional development that supports and enhances the HELP Program; employing a variety of research-based delivery methods and accurately measuring the effectiveness of those delivery methods; and
- Establishing the sustainability of the HELP Program and its ability to be replicated, by establishing a technology-based system of delivery and professional development systems.

SPAM Chilli Fried Rice
Fried rice, fried rice, everybody loves a good fried rice! On my lazy night I would fried rice, not necessary to clear my fridge but just being plain lazy. Haha... I always keep a packet of frozen mixed vegetable in my freezer just for this purpose, sometimes I used that in my porridge too. Anything for convenient. What else did you see? SPAM!! Yup! I keep a can or two of reduced sodium SPAM in my pantry for emergency or for a lazy day like this. So, whipping out some fried rice is as easy as 1-2-3. All I needed would be an egg and some chopped garlic.
I decided to add a little kick into my fried rice by adding the Delimas Crispy Prawn Chilli. Currently out of stock again but do check back at mytasteofasia.com for new arrival. A lot of people have discovered how delicious and versatile this prawn chili is and thus how fast this product is selling. You can eat it straight from the bottle as a condiment to any rice/noodle dish or use it in stir-fry, like fried rice/noodle/vegetable, etc. If you can think it, you can cook it! This chilli is spicy, sweet, crispy and fragrant with the dried shrimps. A must try! Oh in Asia, it's under the brand name Tean's Gourmet. ;)
Note: This product does contains MSG.

Spam fried rice! So good!
Honestly think that fried rice is one of the best chinese food around! I wonder who is the smart person who invited it. Paired with prawn chilli? superb.
oh! for the mirin, u can try using some warm stock to dilute the paste or warm water. Miso is quite salty hence mirin can balance it up.. but i reckon using non salted stock will do the trick and may even taste better.

Banksy gets his Olympic spirit on with two new pieces of street art. Unfortunately, London officials are threatening to erase them.
Known for his irreverent graffiti, Banksy's two Olympic theme artworks feature a pole-vaulter and another one depicting an athlete throwing a missile instead of a javelin. However, London officials have placed a ban on street artists and their works, according to The Guardian.
"This attack on one of contemporary London's most renowned traditions reveals how deeply uncomfortable the cultural relationship between this city and the Olympics really is," writes Jonathan Jones in The Guardian. "An event that is all about massive finance, colossal scale, hyper-organisation and culture delivered from above is being superimposed on a capital that happens to be best at improvisation, dirty realism, punk aesthetics and low art. It's like Versailles versus the sans-culottes. And this time Versailles is determined to win."
What do you think, will erasing London's street art change the city's identity for the better or worse?

1. Long range space correlations as a signature of violation of time reversal invariance (TRI)
We introduce the notions of strong and weak violation of time reversal invariance (TRI) according to whether the violation of TRI in the microscopic dynamics shows up or not at the hydrodynamical level. We then argue that long range space correlations seem to be a generic feature of dynamics strongly violating TRI. In particular, on the basis af a recently established Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the free energy, we show that equilibrium states of Glauber-Kawasaki type dynamics under strong violation of TRI have space correlations over a macroscopic scale. This result indicates that long range correlations are not specific to non equilibrium stationary states.
2. Dynamical phase transitions in large current fluctuations of stochastic lattice gases
In works in collaboration with L. Bertini, A. De Sole, D. Gabrielli and C. Landim we have shown that in large fluctuations of the current, averaged over long intervals of time, transitions to different dynamical regimes can take place. These are revealed by the time dependence of the thermodynamic variables associated to the fluctuations. In this case time shift invariance is spontaneously broken. So far two examples are known, the weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process with periodic boundary conditions discussed by Bodineau and Derrida and the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti model for which we have provided a rigorous proof of the transition.

I am proud of my niece Laurie! First photo is Army Dr.'s she is only female. She was All American swimmer at University. She now is Dr. at Veterans Hospital in Miami. She finished the Army as a Major. She now runs Triathlons around the world. Last photo is triathlon in Panama, it is recent photo, and I bet she past that runner easily! haha. In the Bronze Star award it says she won the 5 kilometer 4 times straight in the green zone.. In Iraq. she saved many, many lives. I did not tell her I put this up because she might have said no! I think she will never know I put it up! I am proud of her. I traveled the world and never really visited my brothers family. I phoned once when she was little, I heard her say "who is it" and my brother said "It's Uncle Don" and she said "Is Uncle Don a man or a woman!" Kind of funny. I sent her a Vietnam belt buckle of my unit, the Manchu's, 5 toed Imperial Dragon, from Boxer Rebellion. "Keep Up the Fire" our Motto! Thanks for looking! Don

See now is the acceptable time: see now is the day of salvation. (I Cor: 6:2)
These words taken from the readings for Ash Wednesday, express in a nutshell the whole purpose and goal of Lent.
Although Benedict often refers to the various liturgical seasons of the year throughout the Rule, evidently the time of Lent was so important to him that he devoted a specific chapter to it. He begins by saying that the whole life of a monastic ought to have a Lenten character about it. He is looking back perhaps to the desert fathers and mothers, who in Benedict's estimation left us an outstanding example of holiness to follow. (RB 19 and RB 73).
Undoubtedly Benedict sees 'these holy days of Lent' (RB 49) as an opportunity for personal spiritual renewal. He suggests that this might be the time to take stock of where we stand with God, with others, and with ourselves. Far from being a negative exercise, it is rather an invitation to open ourselves more completely to God, and to listen attentively to his voice speaking in the depths of our hearts.
Benedict offers some suggestions to help us on our Lenten journey: turn to God by repentance, self denial, extra prayer, lectio divina, some sacrifice of food or drink etc. However, he insists that whatever is done, it is to be 'offered freely'! There is no room for coercion here: also that 'the details of these personal offerings should be made known to the superior for approval and blessing'. Benedict sees this as a safeguard, because in his day there was still a tendency to overdo things a little! Here in the monastery we talk to our Prioress; those who live in 'a monastery without walls' would probably speak to a spiritual director.
Traditionally the Church has encouraged us to focus on Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving during Lent; which is mentioned or implied by Benedict's words. How can we interpret that for ourselves today? Prayer. Could we perhaps increase the time for meditation, sometimes including a midday meditation as well as morning and evening? Or can we spend a little longer in lectio divina to really listen to God's word in silence and stillness. Fasting.
We think primarily of food, but perhaps it is even more important to fast from impatience, prejudice, or self righteousness etc. Almsgiving. As for alms, offering financial support to a worthy cause is highly commendable. But it may be even more important to give the alms of compassion, understanding, patience and love to the needy people we find all around us in our families, our communities, our churches and our world.
The very word 'Lent' means 'Springtime'! It is very much connected with the joy of new life, when all creation flowers into being. Similarly Benedict never forgets the goal of all our Lenten exercises'to increase the joy of spiritual longing with which we should look forward to the holy time of Easter'. If our lives as monastics ought always to have a Lenten character about them, it is equally true that they are always characterised by the joy of Easter. The Risen Jesus is always present in our hearts. We are an Easter people, and we celebrate the paschal mystery every day of our lives. Yet it is especially at Easter time that we remember the joy of the resurrection and celebrate it with praise and thanksgiving.
In the words of one of our Lenten hymns: Now comes the time of special grace: may God restore our hearts again…We soon shall see that day of days, when all creation born again, will sing an Easter song of praise.
Wishing each one of you a happy Lent and Joyful Easter.
With much love,

Dany Bahar has been dismissed as CEO of Group Lotus, a couple of weeks after he was put on suspension by the new Malaysian owners.
Bahar came to Lotus after a roller-coaster career that saw him have involvements on the commercial and marketing side of Sauber, Red Bull and Ferrari.
Bahar employed several former Ferrari contacts in key positions and instigated a number of motor-racing programs at Lotus, including the sponsorship of the Formula One team that shares the name—which was terminated for this year—plus the disastrous IndyCar involvement. He also kick-started a hugely ambitious road-car development schedule.
Since the takeover the company had been subject to due diligence and a lockdown on spending.
A statement from the company said: "The decision was made by the board of Group Lotus plc following the results of an investigation into a complaint made against him by the company's penultimate holding company, DRB-HICOM Berhad."
Aslam Farikullah has become the company's chief operating officer effective immediately.

Remember that song... Well a very creative homeschool mom has made her own version of it... Check it out!
Thanks to a fellow crew member to the TOS Homeschool Crew of 2008-2009 for posting this on facebook. If not, I would have not seeing it... *grin*
God's gift to me.
Excitement in the house...
I go out to run some errands. By myself - no kids as hubby is at home.
I come back and I have my oldest sort of excited. He says daddy wants to talk to me downstairs (where the office is).
So I go. And Alexandre is jumping up and down. And ask me a joke question. I answer not really thinking when he just asked me... and I was wrong in the answer because he tells me no and then tell me the answer. He is still jumping up and down - grinning his biggest smile I ever seen.
Then he tells me that FOTF called to tell him that they loved the joke he had submitted a while back and that it will be published in the October 2009 issue of Clubhouse Jr. . And yes, you guessed it, the joke question he asked me was the one he had sent. Geez What kind of mom am I? I forgot about it. *sigh*
Anyhow, he is so happy about it. We had sent it to the office in BC which in turned send it to the office in Colorado Springs, US. We had received a letter about it and it was also saying that they do receive lots of jokes and it might not be selected.
So they called. It will be published. My son is happy and excited about it. And they will send multiple copies of the magazine.
My son will have his joke published. Can you imagine?

More than $10 billion in funding to foster economic growth for shared prosperity and poverty reduction
WASHINGTON, August 19, 2013 – The World Bank Group* provided $10.2 billion in funding to governments in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) during fiscal year 2013, aimed at fostering growth for shared prosperity and poverty reduction. The region's growth is expected to reach 2.8 percent in 2013, 3.8 percent in 2014, and 4.2 percent in 2015, according to the Bank's recently published Global Economic Prospects.
Over the past year, IBRD/IDA approved 42 project and policy loans totaling $5.3 billion for ECA, comprising of $4.6 billion and $0.7 billion in IBRD and IDA commitments respectively. The IFC provided $4.4 billion and MIGA $0.54 billion in financing. In addition to its financial products and technical assistance, the Bank Group produced important research about critical issues in the region this fiscal year, including a special report on the economic benefits of climate action, Growing Green.
"Growth in Europe and Central Asia continues, despite the slowdown in 2012," said Laura Tuck, World Bank Acting Vice President for the Europe and Central Asia Region. "This year, calmer financial markets and global trade have helped improve the situation in the region. We have focused on supporting countries in their efforts to strengthen their economic competitiveness and public finances, improve public services, strengthen banking systems, and protect the most vulnerable from the impacts of the economic slowdown."
The ECA region is implementing a regional strategy that is focused on addressing three critical challenges to growth and development---improving competitiveness, reforming the social sectors to achieve shared prosperity, and making growth more sustainable, including through climate action.
- Increasing economic competitiveness
Increasing competitiveness requires improving governance and the investment climate, providing stable and effective financial intermediation, upgrading the skills of the labor force, building and maintaining energy and transport infrastructure, and increasing the efficiency of public spending. To achieve these ends, the Bank has helped modernize tax administration in Armenia and Romania; improve roads in Armenia and Serbia; strengthen the business environment and policies conducive to innovation in Croatia, Georgia, and the Russian Federation; increase access to finance for small and medium enterprises in Turkey; and stabilize public finances and strengthen financial sector regulations in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Findings of the regional report Eurasian Cities: New Realities along the Silk Road show that the cities of Eurasia need to reorganize in order to be competitive in a market economy. Policy makers can support this transformation through better urban planning, faster transport and communication connections, integrated public services, and more efficient financing – areas where some cities in the region have already started to take actions.
- Fostering social inclusion
The Bank is working with countries in the region to ensure equal access of various population groups, including the poor, vulnerable or otherwise disadvantaged, to economic opportunities and quality public services. This is done by increasing access to better health and education services, supporting community-driven development, improving workers' skills and creating new job opportunities, enhancing the efficiency and targeting of the countries' social safety nets, and improving governance so that citizens' voices are heard in designing social policies and improving public services. The Bank continues to support Roma inclusion efforts through advocacy and evidence-based analysis in such initiatives as the Decade of Roma Inclusion and Roma Education Fund. In the Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, and Azerbaijan, Bank-supported projects are helping engage rural communities in participatory and transparent decision-making and project implementation at the local level.
- Addressing the challenges of climate change
Climate change is putting stress on the land, water, and energy resources in the region, which decades of environmental mismanagement have left highly vulnerable to climate variability. To deal with the risks, the Bank is acting on a number of fronts, to support both mitigation and adaptation measures. It is financing disaster risk and climate change mitigation in Moldova, supporting reforms to provide incentives for efficient energy use in Turkey, investing in sustainable agriculture and climate change mitigation in Uzbekistan, and improving weather forecasting and climate change monitoring in Central Asia and Russia.
The Bank's ECA region published four new studies on climate change in fiscal 2013. Growing Green: The Economic Benefits of Climate Action provides practical policy options for achieving a greener growth path by prioritizing investments in energy efficiency, expanding the use of cleaner energy, and improving natural resources management. Energy Efficiency: Lessons Learned from Success Stories analyzes the policies of countries in the European Union that have improved energy efficiency the most. Balancing Act: Cutting Energy Subsidies While Protecting Affordability demonstrates how to ensure that climate action supports social inclusion by addressing the household impacts of higher energy prices. Looking Beyond the Horizon: How Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Responses Will Reshape Agriculture in Eastern Europe and Central Asia shows that priority measures for adapting to climate change can increase agricultural productivity and contribute to development goals.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) this year supported private sector development in ECA with $4.4 billion of commitments in 130 projects, including $1.2 billion in syndicated loans and other mobilization. IFC also delivered advisory services worth $36.4 million with a focus on projects in IDA countries, fragile and conflict-affected states, and climate change.
"IFC delivered record investments in Europe and Central Asia as the weak economic performance in the eurozone continued to affect many countries and businesses in the region," said Dimitris Tsitsiragos, IFC Vice President for Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. "IFC's efforts to support private sector development focused on helping small- and medium- enterprises, developing capital markets, tackling climate change, boosting food security by supporting agribusiness, and increasing private sector involvement in infrastructure."
Highlights of IFC's program addressing these regional priorities are:
- The region's businesses received strong support through increased access to finance. IFC provided over $1 billion of financing provided for on-lending to micro-, small-, and medium-enterprises, and $1 billion in trade finance to help support the region's importers and exporters.
- Innovative transactions supported the development of local capital markets to help them become a viable source of long-term financing in several countries. IFC also placed its first local currency bond in an ECA country with the Volga bond in Russia.
- ECA was the strongest performing region for IFC's climate business globally. In ECA, IFC committed a record $577 million for 31 climate business projects, while 34 percent of all project spending involved climate change-related advisory services.
- The region's agribusiness sector received more than $400 million in commitments for 16 projects aimed at boosting the region's food production and increasing food security.
- With public sector budgets strained, the development of public-private partnerships (PPPs) has been a priority for governments across ECA. IFC supported governments in Albania, Kazakhstan, and Kosovo, among others, with key infrastructure privatization projects.
- IFC delivered impact in frontier areas of the region, investing over $400 million.
During fiscal year 2013, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) provided support for six projects with $537 million in political risk insurance coverage in Europe and Central Asia. Through these guarantees, the Agency continued to bolster the region's financial sector, especially as the euro-zone crisis endured. MIGA also issued guarantees for a maritime transport project in Izmir, Turkey.
"MIGA has a critical role to play in helping the region's financial sector weather these challenging times," said Keiko Honda, MIGA's Executive Vice President. "Our support to passenger ferry transportation in Turkey this year also shows how MIGA's guarantees can underpin private-sector financing for important infrastructure projects."
* The World Bank Group institutions contributing to this financial outcome are: the World Bank, which is made up of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which provides financing, risk management products, and other financial services to middle-income countries; the International Development Association (IDA), which provides interest-free loans and grants to the poorest countries; the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which makes equity investments, and provides loans, guarantees, and advisory services to private-sector business in developing countries; and the Bank Group's political risk insurance agency, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA).
