4H equestrian program teaches youngsters responsibility, caring
For almost-19-year-old Amanda Harrison, 4-H has meant 11 years of fun, education and a foot up on the future.
"I started before I was 8 as a Cloverbud and joined 4-H as soon as I could when I turned 8," she said. "I liked it a lot because I had my interest in horses, but also because it kept me responsible for what I was doing."
For Mary "Mel" Markward, University of Florida Lee County Extension agent, that maturity and focus is a key benefit to 4-H programs. While a wide variety of interests are represented in the Lee County 4-H clubs — from butterflies to livestock and everything in between, Markward said the underlying principals of friendship, self-discovery, healthy lifestyles and personal growth, as well as community involvement and educational and vocational advancement, are a constant guiding factor throughout the clubs.
Saturday, nearly two dozen youth — members the newly-formed Horse-N-Around equestrian-focused 4-H club in Fort Myers — met at Detour Farms off Metro Parkway in Fort Myers for the Lee County Horse Conference sponsored by the Lee County 4-H Horse Advisory.
Dr. Sandra TenBroeck, University of Florida Youth Horse Specialist, was the guest speaker at the conference, discussing the horse industry in Florida with the young 4-H members and encouraging them to continue to follow their goals and interests.
"Animal projects are used as a prop to teach responsibility, caring and nurturing," TenBroeck said as the members listened to Mariana England, a licensed horse sports massage therapist, give a presentation and hands-on demonstration of equine massage techniques. "Most of (the kids) are drawn to the horses, but 4-H is more than just riding and competing. It's about how to care for the horses; it's about training and it's about behavior — both the horses' and theirs."
For Harrison, the initial fascination with horses never faded, but a partnering interest — and talent — in public speaking was found in the 4-H setting, and fostered by Markward.
"The public speaking aspect is something I'm very involved in as a part of the horse clubs," said Markward. "It's helping to build well-developed children, and future leaders."
Harrison started out in speech competitions at the Lee County level and progressed over the years, successfully competing at district and state level competitions to progress to the regional competition in North Carolina in 2005. She hopes to combine the interest and knowledge fostered by her time in the 4-H organization into a career as a spokesperson for a feed or equine-related company, but in the meantime is putting her experiences to use in her two speech classes at college.
"It (the 4-H experience) has really helped me in my classes," she said. "I'm not as afraid to get up in front of the room as others may be, and it gives you confidence and helps you prepare for anything."
For more information on the Lee County 4-H programs available, to volunteer time with the organization or to join — or start — a club, visit the Web site at http://lee.ifas.ufl.edu/4-hmain.htm.

New graduation requirements will take effect with the Class of 2018. These are students who enter ninth grade for the first time in the 2014-2015 school year. The new requirements did not change the courses or number of course credits required for students to be eligible for graduation. The requirements changed the state testing process students will engage in during their high school career and the graduation points they will earn on seven end-of-course exams.
Students will take end-of-course exams in English 9, English 10, Algebra I, Geometry, Physical Science, American History and American Government. The end-of-course exams (EOCE) consist of two parts, one given 75% of the way through the school year and 90% of the way through the school year. Students will participate in the EOCE related to their currently enrolled courses. Read the full article here.
College Credit Plus is a program that will allow eligible high school students to earn high school credit and college credit that will appear on both their high school and college transcripts. College Credit Plus will replace the current Dual Enrollment and PSEO (Post Secondary Enrollment Options) programs for Ohio's high schools. This program was included in House Bill 487, signed by Governor Kasich on June 16, 2014, requiring all Ohio public high schools to implement College Credit Plus beginning with the 2015-2016 school year.
An informational night was held on March 4 at Miamisburg High School for parents and students. Here is a link to view the presentation.

Good buy
Have had these for a couple years and am pretty satisfied. They are great light hikers, and served me well traveling over 5 months in India and SE Asia. The Vibram sole sticks like glue, and I now look for vibram on any new shoe I'm considering. My feet run hot, so I still get sweaty in these, but overall they ventilate better than average. Recommended.

The Siemens Smart Grid Division is expanding its smart-grid platform EnergyIP with the addition of application software components for the German smart metering market.
The Siemens smart-grid platform EnergyIP.
With this move, Siemens will provide power supply companies with a central IT solution for the administration of smart-meter gateways and for the processing of encrypted and signed energy consumption measurement data. This solution enables power suppliers to connect smart metering systems consisting of a smart-meter gateway and smart basic meters to their central IT system.
This IT solution fulfils the requirements for data protection and data security stipulated by the German Federal Office of Information Security (BSI) in its Technical Directive for Smart Energy, TR-03109.
"The growing integration of information and communication technology in power supply networks that are being developed into smart grids is increasingly focusing attention on the issue of cyber security. The requirements that must be met in terms of data security – from the beginning to the end of a transmission line, including all products, systems, solutions, and processes – are getting stricter all the time. From our extensive smart grid portfolio, we are providing power suppliers and utilities with the right solutions to meet their needs," said Jan Mrosik, CEO of the Siemens Smart Grid Division.
Siemens has designed its solution as a multi-client system. This allows the roles of distribution network operator, measurement point operator, and gateway administrator to be implemented in compliance with market rules. The software design already takes into account the expansion of market communication, which is currently being specified by the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW). This expansion pertains to the exchange of data between all market roles.
The IT solution is based on the proven smart-grid platform EnergyIP from Siemens. New market roles can be flexibly configured in order to ensure the necessary potential for upgrading in the future. The joint and separate data-storage functions can also be configured for the external market participant and gateway administrator roles. The solution works with an SAP-QBS (Qualified Business Solution)-certified MDUS system (meter data unification and synchronization) with standard interfaces that is expanded in conformance with BSI and independently of the meter manufacturer.
The EnergyIP platform concept helps to improve overall costs during installation and operation, resulting in an improvement of cost-efficiency. The current version of the EnergyIP application supports BSI-compliant business processes in establishing secure connections. Other features supported are the configuration of the smart-meter gateways and the basic meters, processing of encrypted and signed measurement data, and monitoring of the smart metering systems.
Siemens relies on established partners for its platform strategy. For example, the security and cryptography modules are sourced from the Atos subsidiary Worldline, one of the leading providers of high-security software solutions. Siemens gave special attention to ensuring the interoperability of its IT solution with smart-meter gateways from different manufacturers. The first interoperability tests with the gateways from Power Plus Communications, one of the leading manufacturers of BSI-compliant smart meter gateways, ran successfully.
Energy-efficient, eco-friendly solutions for setting up intelligent power supply networks (Smart Grids) and the associated service are part of Siemens' Environmental Portfolio. Around 43 percent of its total revenue stems from green products and solutions. That makes Siemens one of the world's leading providers of eco-friendly technology.
The Siemens Infrastructure & Cities Sector (Munich, Germany), with approximately 90,000 employees, focuses on sustainable and intelligent infrastructure technologies. Its offering includes products, systems and solutions for intelligent traffic management, rail-bound transportation, smart grids, power distribution, energy efficient buildings, and safety and security. The Sector comprises the divisions Building Technologies, Low and Medium Voltage, Mobility and Logistics, Rail Systems and Smart Grid.
The Siemens Smart Grid Division (Nuremberg, Germany) offers power providers, network operators, industrial enterprises and cities an end-to-end portfolio with products and solutions to develop intelligent energy networks. Smart Grids enable a bidirectional flow of energy and information. They are required for the integration of more renewable energy sources in the network. In addition, power providers can run their plants more efficiently with data gained from Smart Grids. Software solutions that analyze data from Smart Grids will continuously gain importance. Thereby, the division uses in-house developments in addition to systems from software partners.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Middle East
Keywords: Upper Room, Cenacle, Pope Francis, Jerusalem, Pentecost, Holy Spirit, charismatic, missionary, Deacon Keith Fournier
JERUSALEM,Israel (Catholic Online) - On May 26, 2014, Pope Francis presided over the celebration of Holy Mass in the Cenacle - the Upper Room, in Jerusalem. It was a prophetic event.
This is the place where the Lord shared his Last Supper with the Apostles, instituting the Eucharist and establishing the ministerial priesthood. This is the place where the nascent Christian Church, responding to the command of the Lord, gathered to await the descent of the Holy Spirit.
As we move toward the celebration of Pentecost in the liturgical calendar, the symbolism of the even is accentuated even more - for those who look upon the events of this hour with the eyes of living faith.
The disciples, gathered with the Mother of the Lord, went forth from that Upper Room, filled with the same Holy Spirit which raised Jesus Christ from the dead. They literally turned the world upside down with the message of the Gospel (See, Acts 17:6) - in both word and deed.
They went forth into an age and a culture which was not unlike our own on many fronts. However, they went forth empowered by the Holy Spirit and unafraid. They transformed that culture with the Love and the Life of Jesus Christ.
That same mission now stretches out before all who bear the name Christian in the Third Christian Millennium. We are the disciples of the Risen Lord for this hour.
We are living in a new missionary age. The same Holy Spirit which empowered the first century church is being poured out afresh on the Church of the Third Christian Millennium. Pope Francis is calling the Church of this age to go forth from that upper room and shake the Nations with the message of true freedom, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
During the celebration of the Liturgy, Pope Francis gave the following homily.
Homily of Pope Francis from the Upper Room in Jerusalem
It is a great gift that the Lord has given us by bringing us together here in the Upper Room for the celebration of the Eucharist. I greet you with fraternal joy and I wish to express my affection to the Oriental Catholic Patriarchs who have taken part in my pilgrimage during these days. I want to thank them for their significant presence, particularly dear to me and I assure them of a special place in my heart and in my prayers.
Here, where Jesus shared the Last Supper with the apostles; where, after his resurrection, he appeared in their midst; where the Holy Spirit descended with power upon Mary and the disciples, here the Church was born, and she was born to go forth. From here she set out, with the broken bread in her hands, the wounds of Christ before her eyes, and the Spirit of love in her heart.
In the Upper Room, the risen Jesus, sent by the Father, bestowed upon the apostles his own Spirit and with his power he sent them forth to renew the face of the earth (cf. Ps 104:30).
To go forth, to set out, does not mean to forget. The Church, in her going forth, preserves the memory of what took place here; the Spirit, the Paraclete, reminds her of every word and every action, and reveals their true meaning.
The Upper Room speaks to us of service, of Jesus giving the disciples an example by washing their feet. Washing one another's feet signifies welcoming, accepting, loving and serving one another. It means serving the poor, the sick and the outcast, those whom I find difficult, those who annoy me.
The Upper Room reminds us, through the Eucharist, of sacrifice. In every Eucharistic celebration Jesus offers himself for us to the Father, so that we too can be united with him, offering to God our lives, our work, our joys and our sorrows. offering everything as a spiritual sacrifice.
The Upper Room also reminds us of friendship. "No longer do I call you servants - Jesus said to the Twelve - but I have called you friends" (Jn 15:15). The Lord makes us his friends, he reveals God's will to us and he gives us his very self. This is the most beautiful part of being a Christian and, especially, of being a priest: becoming a friend of the Lord Jesus, and discovering in our hearts that he is our friend.
The Upper Room reminds us of the Teacher's farewell and his promise to return to his friends: "When I go. I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also" (Jn 14:3). Jesus does not leave us, nor does he ever abandon us; he precedes us to the house of the Father, where he desires to bring us as well.
The Upper Room, however, also reminds us of pettiness, of curiosity - "Who is the traitor?" - and of betrayal. We ourselves, and not just others, can reawaken those attitudes whenever we look at our brother or sister with contempt, whenever we judge them, whenever by our sins we betray Jesus.
The Upper Room reminds us of sharing, fraternity, harmony and peace among ourselves. How much love and goodness has flowed from the Upper Room! How much charity has gone forth from here, like a river from its source, beginning as a stream and then expanding and becoming a great torrent. All the saints drew from this source; and hence the great river of the Church's holiness continues to flow: from the Heart of Christ, from the Eucharist and from the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, the Upper Room reminds us of the birth of the new family, the Church, our holy Mother the hierarchical Church established by the risen Jesus; a family that has a Mother, the Virgin Mary. Christian families belong to this great family, and in it they find the light and strength to press on and be renewed, amid the challenges and difficulties of life. All God's children, of every people and language, are invited and called to be part of this great family, as brothers and sisters and sons and daughters of the one Father in heaven.
These horizons are opened up by the Upper Room, the horizons of the Risen Lord and his Church.
From here the Church goes forth, impelled by the life-giving breath of the Spirit. Gathered in prayer with the Mother of Jesus, the Church lives in constant expectation of a renewed outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Send forth your Spirit, Lord, and renew the face of the earth (cf. Ps 104:30)!

Font to Film: "Fantastic Mr. Fox"Submitted by Fun at Foster on April 11, 2014 - 2:47pm
Typically when a book is adapted for the screen the general tone and thematic content remain the same, even if specific events or characters are shuffled around. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a rare exception to this rule. Originally a children's book written in 1970 by Roald Dahl, it was adapted to film by Wes Anderson nearly forty years later—and anyone who is familiar with Anderson's other works will be unsurprised with how his version turned out.
|Roald Dahl's story is fairly straightforward: Mr. Fox makes his living by stealing chickens and other delicacies from three local farmers who despise him as a result. The farmers begin to hunt Mr. Fox, who must use his fantastic wit to protect his family and the other inhabitants of the forest. Bearing in mind that this is a book for children, there are still a couple of pretty strong themes present which merit some discussion. For instance, while Dahl's farmers are presented as disgusting, vindictive men clearly destined to be the antagonists of any narrative, the fact remains that Mr. Fox is, at the end of the day, a thief. Concerns over whether glorifying such a lifestyle is appropriate for a young audience tend to be dismissed on the grounds that stealing is not, in fact, all that bad if it is a.) done to feed one's family and b.) the victims are bad people. But Fantastic Mr. Fox is also a book about obsession, specifically on the part of the farmers, whose actions not only drive the plot but solidify their position as corrupt—or at least corruptible—characters. From a child's perspective, it's easy to see that they are villains, and to believe that villains deserve to be bested by heroes as clever and capable as Mr. Fox.
|It should be mentioned right off the bat that Wes Anderson's version of Fantastic Mr. Fox expands the narrative substantially, taking a children's book of under a hundred pages and turning it into a fairly intricate and frantically-paced comedy. A simple example of this expansion is the portrayal of Mr. Fox—voiced by George Clooney—as a far more complex character, one who struggles to support his family while wrestling with an overblown sense of pride. Anderson interprets the book's title ironically; Mr. Fox is less fantastic than flawed, leaving room for a significant transformation that simply wasn't present in Dahl's version. The supporting characters are fleshed out as well; Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) is no longer one-dimensionally unwavering in her devotion to her husband, and the four fox children are replaced by one brooding son and a curiously-enlightened nephew. Overall, the plot is the same: Mr. Fox makes his living stealing from three farmers who make it their mission to eradicate him and his family from their property. However, the addition of several new scenes and a more fleshed-out cast allows for the exploration of a few additional themes, such as coming to terms with one's nature and intrinsic value while trying to develop a place in the world relative to those around you—be they friend or foe.
Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox is available to borrow at E.P. Foster Library as part of the second-floor juvenile fiction collection. Wes Anderson's film version is available at several branches of the Ventura County Library; if the book or DVD is not on the shelf at your local branch, you can request for it to be delivered to the branch of your choosing in person, over the phone, or online through our catalog.

The Blog
A New Disgrace at HuffPo
2:50 PM, Jan 9, 2008 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
They come so frequently, it's hard to get worked up, but there's a dead giveaway this time. The teaser for the piece reads, "At the risk of sounding like an apologist for the Islamic Republic..." The author is Hooman Majd, who accuses the Pentagon of manufacturing the incident with Iran in the Gulf this week.
It goes on like that--analysis of the accents, Iranian naval tactics, etc. And what are Mr. Majd's qualifications for such an analysis?
Watch the tape for yourself--no one but an apologist for the Iranian regime could possibly claim that the boats shown were not acting in a threatening and reckless manner. And Majd has absolutely no evidence on which to base his accusation that the Pentagon manufactured or concocted any of this.
It'd be one thing if Arianna got some expert in Naval tactics to write a piece saying that, from the video available, it isn't clear that the Iranian were acting in the aggressive manner the Pentagon alleged--though I doubt she could find a reputable expert to say any such thing. But to have some record producer accuse the military of a conspiracy based on...what exactly? The Huffington Post would have been better off just posting the Iranian regime's propaganda. It draws the same conclusion, yet much more elegantly.
Update: More here, and at HotAir. Also, a real expert, our own Stuart Koehl, breaks it down here.

Montana Senator Comes Under Fire For Plagiarism Allegations
Sen. John Walsh of Montana was appointed to his seat in February, and he's preparing to face voters for the first time. The Democrat's bid will likely be complicated by allegations of plagiarism, reported by The New York Times. It seems that in a paper Walsh submitted for his master's degree from the U.S. Army War College, long passages were borrowed without attribution.

One finds few details about the Chicano movement in most history texts, and only a handful of documentaries have been produced. As for museums, there have been a precious few exhibitions on the subject, which is why I was thrilled to see History Colorado, a Smithsonian affiliate, recently open El Movimiento: The Chicano Movement in Colorado at its flagship venue in Denver.
Mayra Arce even resembles Esperanza, the protagonist in The House on Mango Street, one of the 80-plus books that were part of the Tucson Unified School District's K-12 Mexican-American studies curriculum before the program was dismantled under Arizona House Bill 2281. But Maya isn't the main character of a book. She's the main plaintiff in the lawsuit against Arizona.
Jennifer Dasal is on a mission. The associate curator of contemporary art at the North Carolina Museum of Art is dedicated to bringing Latino graphic art and illustrations out into the mainstream. "There's a lack of diversity and so few Latino illustrators and art in books," she says. "It's still a homogenous field -- but still, Latino people are creating characters as works of art."

In Memoriam
Year in Review: In Memoriam 2013
By Jessica Wedemeyer
We said goodbye to some of our favorite stars in 2013 -- from Paul Walker and Cory Monteith to James Gandolfini, Annette Funicello and Mindy McCready. As we prepare to enter 2014, take a look back at the celebs we lost this year.
Paul Walker, Nov. 30, age 40: The "Fast and the Furious" star was killed in a car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif., while hosting his Reach Out WorldWide charity car show, which benefits victims of Typhoon Haiyan and the recent tornadoes in Illinois. The actor was a passenger in a cherry-red Porsche Carrera GT driven by pal and colleague Roger Rodas that reportedly crashed into two trees and a lamppost before erupting into flames. The '90s heartthrob is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow Rose.

Anne Frank, the young Jewish teenager whose diary became one of the most iconic portrayals of the Holocaust, likely died about a month earlier than her official death date, a new historical analysis finds.
Anne and her sister, Margot, were both given official death dates of March 31, 1945, by Dutch authorities after the end of World War II. The Frank sisters died of typhus at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, but the exact dates of their deaths are unknown.
Now, the Anne Frank House, an organization devoted to preserving Anne's memory and her family's hiding place in Amsterdam, has released a new study that puts Anne's death in February 1945, earlier than previously believed. The study is based on a re-analysis of old documents and eyewitness accounts from camp survivors.

Park was closed when we arrived on Sunday evening. Map showed where sites were located. Most were uneven - could not find a level site but opted for one that slanted down so we could use our jacks to level the trailer. - Larry & Judy
Oct 2014 - $30.00
This was a typical RV park made up of mostly permanent residents both in RV's and Mobile Homes. There is an area in the middle for the transient RV'ers like us. The staff were very friendly, but the park itself was nothing special, a good place for a stopover. The park is quite sloped and a bit tight to get into spaces and very tight between sites. I think we had less than 3 feet between our neighbors with our slides out, which we really felt when they fired up their rig at 5:30am to leave in the morning. Satellite reception was great, but wifi did not work at all. We were able to got up to the office and use their wifi as a guest which was a nice option. Restaurants within walking distance. - tmiller505
Sep 2014 - $30.00
The Park is a broken asphalt parking lot in the middle of a mobile home park. The sites are opposite with the utilities in between, but they are so close that two rigs with slides will nearly touch. The pet walk area is small and covered with dog piles. The people in the office didn't care. The WIFI didn't work - connected to router, but couldn't connect to the internet - the people in the office said, "oh well". Their leaflet indicated about 50 Cable TV channels, but they no longer exist - only get about 7 over the air channels. Office says "sorry".

Respond to Review of Vegan Deli
by corinal
Review: We had the combo (soup, beetroot salad, quinoa salad), which was tasty and healthy. We tried two desserts, but found them lacking in flavor, probably because they were sugar-free. It is a very small cafe, there were not enough places to sit and we were being jostled by the people standing in line waiting to order, and it was noisy.

Show Summaries | Hide Summaries
May 3, 2012, 8:26 AMThe real (BZF) was the worst performing emerging market currency last month, losing 4.3% vs. the dollar to about its weakest level in 3 years. Some expect the central bank to continue its aggressive ease and cut the Selic below 8.75% this month (8.75% in Brazil is like 2% in the U.S. - unimaginable, until recently). The weakened real isn't yet doing holders of EWZ any favors. | Comment!
May 2, 2012, 12:06 PMBrazil's April PMI declines to 49.3 from 51.1 previously, the first contraction in 2012. The only sub-indices above 50 were (what else) input and output prices, with output prices hitting their highest level since May. Better Brazil than Spain, where input prices are on the rise, but output prices are falling. Brazil ETF: EWZ -0.7%. | Comment!
Apr. 27, 2012, 3:24 PMBrazil's Bovespa continues to drop, -0.8% today as VALE, already stung by diving earnings, has its $5.9B potash project in Argentina threatened by Kirchner's shenanigans. Brazil's banks are also booking losses as the country enters the "not fun" part of a consumer credit boom. On the plus side, the central bank is aggressively cutting rates. The divergence between Brazil and the S&P. | 2 Comments
Apr. 25, 2012, 6:12 PMNot joining in the worldwide rally today was Brazil (EWZ -0.8%), dragged down by a plunge in Itau Unibanco (ITUB -5.7%). Rising defaults forced the lender to raise provisions for bad loans by 38% as the country faces the downside of a consumer credit boom. Keep an eye on tomorrow's earnings from Banco Santander's (STD) - from Spain (with its own issues), but with large Brazilian operations. | Comment!
Apr. 25, 2012, 7:45 AMMore on Caterpillar (CAT): The company raises its full year profit outlook to $9.50/share while maintaining revenue at $68-$72B. The bears, however, are likely to pounce on "slowing in China and Brazil," mentioned early and often by CEO Doug Oberhelman. Shares -1.8% premarket. (PR) | Comment!
Apr. 23, 2012, 3:23 PMWhere's the rally, asks Scotty Barber, who notes the BRICs - during periods when their central banks are cutting rates - outperform developed markets. Brazil's 75 point cut (with more to come) was the loudest move, but policy is easing in the others as well. As of yet there's been no rally in either absolute or relative terms. | Comment!
Apr. 19, 2012, 10:54 AMThe Bovespa hugs the flatline after Brazil's central bank cut its benchmark rate an expected 75 bps to 9% last night. The Copom's accompanying statement, however, was a dovish one - leaving the door open for more cuts after earlier giving the impression yesterday's move would be the last for this cycle. | Comment!
Apr. 18, 2012, 7:22 PMBrazil cuts its benchmark Selic interest rate to 9% from 9.75% in a unanimous decision - as expected by most all economists, but now near an all-time low. | 2 Comments
Apr. 17, 2012, 2:53 AMIf China grows "only" 7.5% this year, Latin America will likely feel the pain, as China has become one of the largest trading partners for many Lat.Am. countries and has helped open Asia as an export market. In Brazil, exports to China have increased more than forty fold since 2000, growth that is likely unsustainable as China slows. | Comment!
Apr. 16, 2012, 4:47 PMIs Brazil ready to break out of the "middle income trap" or have its issues been masked by a China-led resource boom and a massive property bubble? "Prices are crazy," says Rio's mayor. Bulls counter that mortgage debt is low, but 100% financing schemes have widespread use, giving "a strong whiff of Fannie, Freddie, and America's subprime." | Comment!
Apr. 2, 2012, 9:31 AMBrazil March PMI edges down to 51.1 from 51.4 previously. It's the 3rd consecutive month in expansion territory, led by domestic orders. Export orders, however, remained in negative territory, likely to give more fuel to finmin Mantega in his currency war fight. | Comment!
Mar. 22, 2012, 11:44 AMBrazilian inflation rises just 0.25% in the month ending in mid-March, slower than estimates for 0.38% and February's 0.53%. The Y/Y rate declines to 5.61% from 5.98%. The jobless rate clicks up to 5.7% from 5.5%, the lowest ever recorded for February, but local quirks make the number a questionable one. | Comment!
Mar. 15, 2012, 8:09 AMThe real shoots higher as Central Bank of Brazil minutes indicate rates should continue to fall, but will stabilize above historic lows. The bank surprised markets last week by slashing rates 75 basis points to 9.75%. Brazil ETF: EWZ +0.9% premarket. No action yet in the real ETF (BZF). | Comment!
Mar. 12, 2012, 11:49 AMBrazilian President Rousseff blasts QE, saying the country "will defend itself from these openly protectionist policies ... This artificial currency depreciation is not regulated by the WTO ... we will do whatever is possible and impossible to defend Brazilian industry." The real (BZF) -1.6%. The Brazil ETF: EWZ -2.4%. | Comment!
Mar. 12, 2012, 9:47 AMEconomists cut their forecast for Brazil's benchmark lending rate - the Selic - to 9% following the central bank's somewhat surprising 75 bp cut to 9.75% last week. Given the easier monetary policy, the consensus inflation forecasts for 2013 are hiked to 5.5%. Brazil ETF: EWZ +15.8% YTD. | Comment!
Mar. 8, 2012, 10:17 AMThe Bovespa +1.2% in early trade following the central bank's somewhat surprising 75 basis point interest rate cut last night. The real (BZF -0.4%) stumbles just a bit. The Brazil ETF: EWZ +0.5%. | Comment!

Friend will raise funds with 24-hour bake and run
Last updated at 12:53, Friday, 15 February 2013
A fund-rasing event next week will help a charity set up by a Cockermouth woman following the death of her six-year-old son.
Fiona Grove, 43, of Brandlingill, set up the charity Booktastic in 2010 after son Wilf died of a cancerous brain tumour.
Wilf had spent nine months in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.
Fiona set up Booktastic to provide reading material for youngsters on the ward.
Family friend Saskia Patrick, who taught Wilf during the last months of his life, will hold a 24-hour bake and run session next Saturday to raise money for the charity.
Saskia, 27, of Central Road, Dearham, who is a teacher at Wigton Infant School, aims to bake more than 550 cakes over 24 hours.
At the same time she will run half a mile every hour, as she is in training for the London Marathon in April.
Saskia said: "Selling cakes has probably been done a thousand times before but I wanted a challenge so baking them and running at the same time is something a bit different.
"I wanted to raise money for the charity and at the same time do something good for somebody else.
"I helped out Fiona a lot with her children and Wilf when he came home and that experience led me to apply to be a teacher."
She will sell the cakes at an event on February 24 at 65 Fitz Road, Cockermouth, beginning at 1pm. She hopes to raise between £500 and £600.
Following her son's death, Fiona and friends, who called themselves the Fells Angels, took part in the Bob Graham Round, which crosses 42 Lakeland peaks.
They raised £30,000 and donated money to the North of England Children's Cancer Research, Crawford House, a hostel for parents of child patients staying at Newcastle and the Great North Air Ambulance.
She used the remaining money to help set up the charity. She bought library trollies and books to donate to the RVI and has since given hundreds more to the hospital.
She regularly takes some of Wilf's friends to Hills book store in Workington to fill a shopping trolley with books for RVI youngsters.
Fiona said: "Some of the children are too ill to move so they have stories read to them.
"It has brought families together as parents can read stories to their children.
"I am delighted it has been such a success and that every child will now have the opportunity of a bedtime story."
She also offers audio books by uploading them onto laptops, tablets and iPads.
Saskia has had donations of baking ingredients from business including the Trout Hotel, Laid with Love, Armathwaite Hall, the Co-op and Hoopers.

Shehri's death has been announced several times by the Yemeni authorities, most recently on January 24.
It was unclear when the latest audio message, posted on jihadist forms on Tuesday, had been recorded.
Most of the message is directed against Saudi Arabia, which Shehri accuses of allowing Americans to attack "the faithful of Yemen" from their soil.
"We must get rid of the Al-Saud regime by all means," he says.
He was clearly referring to US drone strikes against al Qaeda targets in Yemen which jihadists claim are launched from bases in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
Shehri has long been been hounded by Yemen's security forces and has survived a number of attempts on his life.
Yemen's Supreme National Security Committee had in January reported that Shehri succumbed to wounds received in a counter-terrorism operation in the northern Saada province on November 28.
Last October, he denied a September announcement by Yemen's defence ministry that he had been killed in an army raid, in an audio message posted on extremist Internet forums.
SITE had also quoted a radical Islamist as reporting on Twitter that Shehri had died "after a long journey in fighting the Zionist-Crusader campaign."
In the latest message, Shehri made no reference to reports of his death.
The militant leader was released from Guantanamo Bay in Cuba in 2007 and was flown to Saudi Arabia, where he was put through a rehabilitation programme.
After completing the programme, he disappeared and later resurfaced as AQAP's number two.
AQAP is led by Nasser al-Wuhayshi, who in July 2011 reaffirmed the group's allegiance to Ayman al-Zawahiri, head of the worldwide al Qaeda network since the killing in May of its founder, Osama bin Laden.
The United States has stepped up its support for Yemen's battle against AQAP, which it regards as the most active and deadliest franchise of the global al Qaeda network.
US drones strikes in Yemen nearly tripled in 2012 compared to 2011, according to the New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank.
In October 2000, al Qaeda militants attacked US Navy destroyer the USS Cole in Yemen's port of Aden, killing 17 sailors and wounding 40 more.
