If we think about Impact Investing as an industry in the making, we can summarize the broader insights from the conference around four themes:
We previously covered the first two in The essence of Impact Investing, and we'll deal with the second two here…
Scaling up in a sustainable way
There was talk at the conference of a bubble in impact investing and of a lot of "hype" surrounding the sector, with references to impact investments reaching US$1 trillion in a few years. Yet, conference participants said that they struggle to identify a strong pipeline of "investable" deals, while others mentioned that there is a dearth of financing in some countries, for example in Eastern Europe.
Clearly, supply is not yet meeting demand, and there's a need to develop a host of intermediaries (incubators, exchanges, rating agencies, and impact metrics) that can help to establish the necessary infrastructure for the industry. Importantly, the models that work need to be up-scaled.
One of the risks in Impact Investing is that unproven investment models can receive too much funding and end up disappointing industry participants or, worse, distorting markets and creating inefficiencies, casting a shadow over the whole impact investing field.
In terms of addressing the financing needs along the life cycle of social enterprises, the seed stage financing is being well addressed by a combination of crowd-funding mechanisms, HUB-like networks of incubators, international competition, and global fellowship models, such as the ones built by the likes of Ashoka and Skoll, as well as venture philanthropy models at the early growth stages.
These replace the traditional role played by angel investors in the commercial sector. At the later venture growth stages, the "Private Equity in Emerging Markets" model pioneered by the likes of Bamboo Finance and Leapfrog Investments seems to be viable and is helping to build strong companies.
The real gap in impact investing at the moment seems to be the early-mid growth financing of for-profit social businesses, equivalent to the early stage venture capital models in the commercial world where funds in the order of US$500k to $1.5 million are allocated. This is already a difficult investment model to make viable in the commercial investing sector and it seems even more so in the Impact Investing sector.
To make early-mid growth financing work, there may need to be a change in the established models of venture capital investing. For example, the traditional venture capital model of a 7- years fund, 2% management fee, and 20% carried interest, may not make sense in Impact Investing. Longer funds, higher management fees, and lower carry may be required. Or, there may need to be a different conceptual model of how a fund operates – for example a focus on investment through debt as opposed to equity may be more aligned with the principles of impact investing in which the overall goal is maximizing the broader impact in society.
In essence, as innovators, there's a need to draw from existing models to gain legitimacy, but at the same time there's a need to have the courage to challenge conventional wisdom and innovate.
Can the logic of impact investing become embedded in the fabric of society?
This is the aspiration of any true social entrepreneur – that their organization becomes obsolete because their solution is now adopted by everyone else, thus addressing societal problems at a scale that was impossible to achieve through a single organization or fund. The best recent example of mainstreaming in the social sector space, leading to the creation of a new global industry, is micro-finance. But mainstreaming too early, with unproven models or unclear value propositions, may lead to Impact Investing becoming the latest bubble and losing its credibility in the process.
Mainstreaming Impact Investing will require systematically tapping into and efficiently allocating significant pools of funds from public budgets and international development, transforming the way foundations allocate grants, and changing the metrics and mindset of commercial investors. This is not a foolish dream.
Socially Responsible Investing did not exist 20 years ago and has grown to become a mainstream criterion for commercial investments. As the sector becomes better at identifying and measuring impact, and aligning impact with sustainable solutions, the Impact Investing approach may gain dominance and help the financial sector truly fulfill its societal role of allocating scarce capital to where it's most needed. Numerous family business leaders and next-generation members, many of whom already practice the "profit with purpose" approach, are at the forefront of these developments.

After seven years since it was created, Bukwo district in eastern Uganda has finally got the first borehole for its residents in Kaptererwa sub-county.
Bukwo district is one of the hard to reach districts given its hilly terrain.
Bukwo was curved out Kapchorwa district in 2006 with an aim of extending services nearer to the people.
Kaptali residents were all in jubilations after clean water was pumped out from the only borehole in the area that was commissioned by the district leaders and the management of Nile Breweries on Thursday.
"We have been relying on the gravity of water flow from the hills which is not clean, but with the borehole now in place we are assured of clean water," John Sikawa the LC3 chairman of Kaptererwa said.
The borehole will serve over 500 households.
Sikawa noted that the commissioning of the borehole in the area was a great relief to residents who were returnees from Kenya and other parts of Uganda who had witnessed insecurity in early 1980s.
The borehole was a donation by Nile Breweries after assessing the plight of the residents of Kaptali who had spent many years without a source of clean water.
Nile Breweries managing director, Nick Jenkinson, explained that they were prompted to drill a borehole in the area as a reward to the community for growing barley and encouraged them to grow more of it as a means to create wealth.
He said Bukwo has the best altitude for barley growing compared to other parts of the country.
The Bukwo LC5 boss, Wilson Salimo Manjara noted that the $10,000 (about sh26m) borehole is the first of its kind in the district since it was created in 2006.

Delbert Marion, a former police chief in East St. Louis, is the new director of public safety in Washington Park.
Also, the Village Board voted Tuesday to give Ray Coleman, the village's governmental affairs officer, additional duties as TIF administrator and a new contract for a $60,000 annual salary.
The board voted 5-0 to hire former Marion, who previously served as the Brooklyn police chief and as an East St. Louis City Councilman.
Board member Ferris Williams was absent.
Mayor Ann Rodgers read aloud a resolution that said Marion can serve until he retires or is removed. One thing that was not contained in the resolution was Marion's salary.
Rodgers said she did not have it available. She later did not return phone calls about Marion's salary.
Police Chief Aubrey Keller will report to Marion and Marion will report to Rodgers, she said.
Marion said he plans to bring the same level of professionalism that he has brought to the other jobs he has held. He said he wants to help make Washington Park as safe as possible.
Keller was given a new contract that will be in effect until the end of Rodgers' term which ends on May 1, 2017. Keller's salary is $56,560 a year. He gets 12 vacation days a year and a village-issued police car as part of his contract.
The board unanimously approved Coleman's contract.
The village's TIF account will pay $48,000 of Coleman's salary and the remaining $12,000 will come from "the village's other non-restricted accounts to pay for the contract with Ray Coleman," the resolution said.
In May, the village entered into an agreement with Coleman as an independent contractor for $4,000. Coleman was to receive $1,000 a month with approximately 80 percent of his time being spent serving as the TIF coordinator. The remaining 20 percent of his time was to be spent working on governmental services.
In other business, the Village Board unanimously voted to approve a $200,000 TIF agreement with East St. Louis City Councilman Robert Eastern for improvements at the service station known as BP Kingshighway at 1205 Kingshighway.
According to the agreement, B&B Gemini LLC will be paid over three years, with the first $50,000 being paid in fiscal year 2015. A second payment is to be made in fiscal year 2016, and a third and fourth payment in the amount of $50,000 in the following two years. According to the TIF agreement, Eastern is proposing to rehab the existing station, which is located in TIF District 1. The money is being provided to Eastern because "the developer's revenue alone are insufficient to ensure the financial feasibility of the project. And it's in the best interest of the citizens to provide additional revenues and financial assistance," the agreement said.
Eastern could not be reached for comment.
The Village Board also approved a resolution for a contract between the village and the Fraternal Order of Police Labor Lodge Council 108. The union has 14 days to approve the resolution.
The agreement calls for the FOP to provide police and dispatch services.

IceRays notebook: Stolarz still big presence for franchise
IceRays celebrating 15-year anniversary
CORPUS CHRISTI - Anthony Stolarz no longer plays for the IceRays. However, the goalie's presence looms large for the organization, literally and figuratively.
Stolarz, who became the first Corpus Christi player to be drafted by an NHL team after the Philadelphia Flyers took him in the second round in June, will be commemorated on a banner that will hang in the American Bank Center during Corpus Christi's games this season.
The banner, which features Stolarz in a Flyers sweater and the slogan "Follow Your Dreams," was unveiled Tuesday along with the IceRays' 15th anniversary logo. The team is set to begin its third season in the North American Hockey League next month, with training camp commencing in a little more than two weeks.
The biggest event of a busy offseason was Stolarz being taken by the Flyers. While it's an easy marketing tool, it also has aided in player recruiting.
"We made a 6-foot-5 man into a 10-foot-5 man," coach Justin Quenneville joked. "But I think it's important. It sends a wake-up call to what we're trying to do here and that's exciting that we can continue to move players on.
"Getting a player drafted kicks it up a notch. Everybody knows who you are, every building that we walk into, they recognize our logo. Any hockey guy we're talking to or coach we're recruiting from knows us a little bit better because they read (about Stolarz). It's just one of those things that is a great perk, but also a reminder of what we're doing here and moving forward. Our goal is to develop players. And if one of them gets drafted, that's exciting."
The IceRays also announced the hiring of Jeff Worlton as assistant coach, replacing former Corpus Christi player Chris Mei, who left to pursue a firefighting career.
Worlton, who turns 33 in October, played five seasons of minor pro hockey and was the coach of the Flint (Mich.) Junior Generals in the NA3HL, a feeder league for the NAHL, last season.
"He's a very well-respected coach in the junior industry and has been doing this for a few years," Quenneville said. "Having some head-coaching experience is going to help where we can complement each other in a lot of different ways.
"We have two different styles and will feed off each other. He's a loyal, hardworking, blue-collar guy who's very passionate about what he does."
In other news, the IceRays acquired defenseman John Roisum from the Jamestown (N.Y.) Ironmen for fellow blueline Payden Mielke. The 5-10, 170-pound Roisum had 11 assists in 33 games with Jamestown and Topeka last season. Mielke had 12 points (1 goal, 11 assists) in 55 games for the IceRays.
Also, as part of the team's 15th anniversary celebration, general manager Pat Dunn plans to stage an alumni game, with the goal to bring in at least one player from each of the previous 14 seasons.

Without a hint of irony, Bugatti has announced that it'll build three Rembrandt edition Veyrons.
This is the Rembrandt Bugatti
No, not that one - this special edition doffs cap to Ettore's sculptor brother
Nope, not that Rembrandt. This is the fourth model in the company's six-part paint-and-trim Legends series (seen here, here, and here), and this time it's a tribute to the company founder's brother, Rembrandt Bugatti.
While Ettore was messing around in the garage, his brother was hanging around Antwerp Zoo, where he sculpted exotic animals like elephants, panthers and lions. Seen the dancing bronze elephant on the radiator cap of a Type 41 Royale? That's his work.
Said dancing elephant is the reason why the car has bronze-coloured clear-coated carbon bodywork. There's also Rembrandt's signature lasered on the petrol and oil cap, and the elephant's also stamped into the centre box between the rear seats.
Otherwise, it's a cooking-variety Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. That means an 8.0-litre W16 engine making 1200bhp, which gets it from 0-62mph in 2.6 seconds.
Yours for €2.18m...

text: Hello to all, new to Traxxas but thought I could share some thoughts as I've raced RC for too many years to admit. Raced a lot of things to be sure. Love the new Block for so many reasons not the least of which is the package for the price. As I raced the Tamiya series for years and have been one of their best customers for over 30 years. None of this adoration has ever benefitted me in the least, mind you, but I digress. I mention this only because I was pleased to find many parts in the tool box were cross over and I was able to detail my new Block right away. I offer in turn some suggestions that might help some with a smoother trainning time. First suggestion is to wipe down your new pre-painted rally with a microfiber cloth to help rid you of air bubbles, oil and debris which will hinder the application of stickers and lead to their loosening and, inevitably removal. Use an additional rubber gasket in addition to the nice body mounts provided by Traxxas. This will secure a snugger body fit which will prevent the vibration associated with all the body pins being lost. I opened my wholes just a bit with my Dremel to allow some perfectly matching green pins I had in the collection which in addition have a wider bend at the end. Tamiya aluminum hub carriers and lock nuts both fit nicely and the carriers are a little deeper which add to your tracking width without interfering with body wheel wells. Big benefit was I could use all those trick wheels and tires I've collected . HPI, Tamiya, Aluminum IGs. All fit nicely and worked for varying types of performance enhancement. Even Tamiyas blocked rally rubber were killer in the small amount of snow this morning, though I had to go back to the stock carriers as they were a hair too wide and rubbed the back of the wells a tad. Can't wait to see if they make some of their aluminum parts in green or even blue. I can already see I can use some other brands there as well for performance sake. For now, out of the box, it's impressive. Traxxas tells me eventually, this body will be available unpainted. I would love to attach some pics here of my car in various wheel set ups. How to I get permission for that?

FLASH! Gronk broke his arm for the THIRD Time, Pickin up the BAR TAB!
Originally written on Bush League Chronicle | Last updated 2/14/13
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 02: Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots carries a reception into the endzone past Antrel Rolle of the New York Giants for a first quarter touchdown on September 2, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had himself quite the Super Bowl Sunday.Thanks to the fine folks at Busted Coverage, we now have a visual proof of Gronk's alcohol endeavors in the form of a receipt. As you can see, the gratuity alone would be enough to send most people's bank account into critical condition. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. All in all, Gronk dropped nearly $10,000 for his epic night of partying. No big deal.Via Bleacher Report

You open FF and it tries to access 192.168.0.1 and wont open any web pages,
Any ideas,
She called me at work asking what to do , I said just reset router,delete the network and start again with new passwords and ssid, This went down well...
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
So you're connected via wireless to the router? Well if you're not connected to it (ie enter password and stuff) you won't be able to get to 192.168.0.1. Best bet is to connect with a cable temporarily, goto 192.168.0.1, setup wireless properly, then connect via wireless.
Oh wait....what exactly is your question? Why FF won't open any pages? Or how to fix the router?
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
You can connect wirelessly to the router and change the config (I think, I was told about it over the phone) but no internets.
I dont know how much more properly it can be configured ,Was working fine before.
They wouldnt have changed any router settings.
But the fact that FF tries to open 192.168.0.1 without any promting is strange to me ,Why is it doing this?
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
It's remembering the last page opened? FF does this if you want it too.
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
Is your homepage set to 192.168.0.1? Or like crainger mentioned, you can setup FF to open the page you had open last.
Yes you can connect wirelessly to router to change config IF THE WIRELESS NETWORK IS ALREADY SETUP. Since you told whoever you're fixing this for to reset their router, all the SSID info will be reset. So are they connecting to the default SSID for the router? or still trying to connect to the old one from before they reset it?
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
This is my GF's mothers laptop I'm talking about
My GF asked me what to do and I said just press the reset and set up the netwaork again ,she was like "Tell me what to do then!!" and I was like ????? you want me to talk you through setting up a wireless network while I'm standing in my labcoat in a hallway with my boss walking around??? And she's was like "So all of a sudden you dont know how to do it" and hangs up!!! Ignorant ****.
Come to think of it their wired PC was doing the same thing once but it stopped doing it.
They never go to 192.168.0.1 ,No reason to so I dont think FF is remembering the last page visited.
I think I'll have to actually look at it myself
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
Is that seriously how your gf talks to you?
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
Her mother needed to do some internet shopping so was stressing at her.
I called HER an ignorant ****... after she hung up.
Re: STRANGE ROUTER HAPPENINGS ,HELP PLEASE
Do you really speak to your gf like that?
Was kinda rude she hung up on you. Did you forget to ask what she was wearing?

Among the scheduling oddities in the Capitals' abbreviated 48-game slate is the rare chance to play consecutive games against the same opponent in the same building.
Similar to a playoff series, the Capitals will host the New Jersey Devils at Verizon Center both Thursday night and Saturday afternoon.
"I personally don't love it like that," said defenseman Karl Alzner. "I personally like to see different teams. That's one thing that I didn't really like [in the AHL] was having to see Wilkes [-Barre Scranton] it seemed like four or five times in two or three weeks."
Home-and-home series have been a fixture in the NHL since before the Original Six days (the Capitals recently swept a home-and-home series against the Florida Panthers), but two straight matchups in the same city is a rarity. The Capitals last did so in April 2006, with two straight losses at home against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"I think we do it once more this year in Winnipeg," Joey Crabb noted of the March 22 and 23 meetings with the Jets at MTS Centre.
"But it doesn't happen too often, it's a little different. It's a little bit like how they do it in college and I loved college hockey. I thought that was a fun schedule, it creates rivalries and on the second night, usually everyone is pretty pumped up."
Wojtek Wolski has played just six career games in the AHL and can't recall ever facing the same opponent in the same building for two straight regular-season games. Still, Wolski is anxious to see how it plays out.
"Something always seems to happen in that first game that carries over to the second game," he said.
"Guys don't really forget. I know guys that have kept grudges for a full year until you play a team the next time and you still remember what happened. So this being two nights after, I'm sure that it's going to be highly competitive."
Added Alzner: "I like to have a bit of a change but at the same time it's good for us and for learning. We get to really test things out against a team that plays the same way as us, so that part is kind of cool. But yeah, the last time I did that was [in January 2010] when we played [the Manitoba Moose], back-to-back on a Friday-Saturday, and that was my second year in the [AHL] so it's been a while."

Data Link Solutions, LLC (DLS), a joint venture between Rockwell Collins Inc. ( COL ) and London-based BAE Systems plc, won a navy contract for the multifunctional information distribution system (MIDS) joint tactical radio system, or JTRS, terminal configuration. The contract has a total value of $33.4 million.
This cost-plus-incentive-fee delivery order under a previously awarded contract calls for DLS to develop, design, and implement four communications nets for the multifunctional information distribution system joint tactical radio system, or MIDS JTRS, terminal configuration. This activity will take place in Wayne, N.J. and Cedar Rapids, Iowa and is scheduled to be completed by Mar 7, 2015.
The MIDS JTRS is a 4-channel radio, used for complex Link 16 waveform and capable of three additional communication protocols including the Airborne Networking Waveform. This terminal has the competence to host and offer required computer processing for routing and platform-specific applications. This feature would lower the integration cost into host platforms.
Earlier this month, DLS won dual contracts worth $166.3 million each, from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Both these contracts are modifications to multiple-award contracts awarded earlier. Per the agreement, DLS will provide systems engineering and integration support to the MIDS low volume terminal (LVT) and the MIDS JTRS terminal.
Although we remain apprehensive about the U.S. government's delayed funding authorizations, program execution risks, dependence on international sales and high exposure to fixed price contracts, Rockwell Collins has been experiencing a strong contract pipeline as evident from its record book.
Recently, the company won a $44.5 million foreign military sales contract from the U.S. DoD to modernize three of The Boeing Company 's ( BA ) KC-135R aerial refueling tankers for the French Air Force. Given the cutbacks in the U.S. defense budget leading to a decline in domestic orders, the foreign contracts will offer a stable revenue stream for the company.
Rockwell Collins currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). In the near term, we would advise investors to accumulate its Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) peer Astronics Corporation ( ATRO ) and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) peer GenCorp Inc. ( GY ).

Google has deprecated the Google.Documents API. The GCSM Notes sync was based on this API, therefore we had to remove notes sync from GCSM API. Maybe some developer has the power to Switch to the new Google.Drive API, but until then, no notes sync.
GO Contact Sync Mod synchronizes your Microsoft Outlook contacts with your Google Mail address book, including pictures, categories and notes.
Since version 3.7.0 it also syncs your Outlook Calendar Appointments on demand to Google Calendar. This Mod fork adds many enhancements and bug fixes to the obviously dead project 'Go Contact Sync'.
Please find some guidelines how to sync your mobile phone contacts with Google Contacts here: http://www.google.com/mobile/sync
- Full support of OAuth2 - no need for your password!
- Outlook Contacts sync
- Outlook Calendar Appointments sync
- Automatic syncing
- Contact Pictures support

- Supports Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 (32 and 64 bit)
- No Support for Outlook Express
- Select Outlook folder to sync

Great job. Thanks so much for the diligence. I only wish there can be a mobile edition of this for windows phones and others, so that without coming to the desktop one can still accomplish the regular sync. If there are errors as others indicated, it is not from the software but from the messed up phonebooks. I had issues because of some ridiculous megers from the past. I went back to my accounts to resolve them. Kudos.
Excelente App, solía sincronizar Contactos, Calendario y Notas, sin embargo, desde la versión v3.9.6 hasta esta versión v3.9.10, eliminaron la opción de sincronizar las notas, por eso solo 4 estrellas. Excellent app. Used to synchronize Contacts, Calendar and Notes, however, from version v3.9.6 to version v3.9.10, was eliminated to synchronize your notes, so just 4 stars.
Great job, thanks
Great software, only product that really allows to combine MS Outlook and Gmail!! Theres just one little thing: I use two different Gmail addresses for work and private, but both my syncing profiles always choose the same gmail account. Could you maybe include an option to assign different gmail accounts to the profiles?
Be very careful with Calendar! Outlook automatically adds birthdays and bank holidays to its main calendar. In Google, these are separate calendars. Choosing to Sync my Outlook with Google meant that birthdays and bank holidays have been added to Google, which I most certainly did not want. For syncing contacts, brilliant. For syncing Calendar, be very very careful. I wish it had options for warning if more than say 10 alterations, to ask for confirmation before syncing.

Glad to hear from you, Franklin! Loved your last article. So we're only a few weeks away from the best time of year...who do ya got? I don't see how anybody tops Boston in seven games, but the West is much more of a cluster. Should be fun!
Love what you have been doing on the Blackhawks beat despite the fact that the Winged Wheel is likely tattooed on your heart. Keep up the good work!
You failed to put Marcus Kruger on a starting line .... are you serious ????
Hi Franklin. I operate ManGamesLost.com that you've referenced in the past in some of your articles. Would love to connect on Twitter and pick your brain on the NHL 13-14 season sometime.
Of course, your articles are always a good read.
No problem, Franklin. It's understandable since, technically, it all used to be one country.

AFROCUBISM in London | 2nd and 3rd June 2012 | TicketsMay 12th, 2012 | By admin | Category: Latest News
Field Day Music Festival / Sat 2nd & 3rd June / 11.30pm
Victoria Park London
Tickets: £45.00
Book tickets online or call our Box Office on 020 7688 2673
Featuring Eliades Ochoa, Toumani Diabate, Bassekou Kouyate, Djelimady Tounkora, Kasse Mady Diabate etc.
The legendary 'lost' project that became Buena Vista Social Club© is finally realised. Some of the finest Cuban and Malian musicians collaborate In Nick Gold's most eagerly awaited project for years.
This is an album that throws the elements of Cuban and African music in the air and lets them fall in entrancing new patterns.
The great world music album that-never-was has finally been realized. The project that became the Buena Vista Social Club© has borne its own extraordinary fruit.
In 1996, a group of Mali's finest musicians were due to fly into Havana for a speculative collaboration with some of Cuba's most brilliant singers and instrumentalists. For reasons that have never been made clear, the Malians never arrived. A very different album was recorded: 'The Buena Vista Social Club'. The rest, as they say, is multi-million selling history.
But what about that original album? What riches might have been revealed in the interaction of virtuosi from one of Africa's most musically rich territories, and from Cuba whose music has origins in Africa, and has been hugely influential on the mother continent?
Now we have the opportunity to find out. World Circuit Records' Nick Gold, the man behind the 1996 venture, finally brought the original invitees ProEnhance together with a stellar line-up of additional talent at a series of inspirational sessions and the great lost Afro-Cuban album will be released fourteen years after originally planned.
Fronting the Cuban team is the cowboy-hatted singer and guitarist Eliades Ochoa, singer of the great Buena Vista theme 'Chan Chan'. The two original Malian invitees are multi award-winning ngoni lute master Bassekou Kouyate and the extraordinary Rail Band guitarist Djelimady Tounkara, both universally agreed to be among the world's great instrumentalists.
Joining them are Eliades' Grupo Patria, amongst Cuba's longest running and most revered bands, the mercurial kora genius Toumani Diabaté, legendary Malian griot singer Kasse Mady Diabaté and the innovatory balafon player Lassana Diabaté.
"It was as though the musicians had been holding back their ideas and energy for that moment," says Gold, who produced the album, with the great Buena Vista engineer Jerry Boys at his side. "After we'd waited so long, it all came together remarkably easily and spontaneously. The group had never played together before but the music just poured out and it continued to flow over the next few days." Seventeen songs were recorded in five days, with all the musicians playing together 'live' in one large room. A second session was convened some months later and produced a further nine songs.
The title AfroCubism is advised. This is an album that throws the elements of Cuban and African music in the air and lets them fall in entrancing new patterns.

Alonso brings major lessons to Minors
Young first baseman embracing all aspects of the game
By Jonathan Mayo / MLB.com
SARASOTA, Fla. -- In Yonder Alonso's room in Sarasota, there's a baseball.
This isn't just any baseball, mind you. It's from a Spring Training game against the Phillies on March 9. It's the ball that the 2008 first-round Draft pick hit out for his first home run in a Reds uniform. Yes, it's just Grapefruit League action, but that doesn't mean it was meaningless to the 21-year-old first baseman.
"I hit that bomb, and I was floating," Alonso said with a smile. "I had no idea what happened. I hit it, and it went over. It was fun. You work so hard and you give it all you have, then it pays off. That's why you play the game."
Alonso was sent to Minor League camp the next day, the long ball serving as a very fond farewell from his few weeks of living and playing like a big leaguer. He got eight at-bats in total and two hits, the other one being a double. But beyond the handful of plate experiences, the University of Miami product felt that he crammed in much more than three weeks of information.
"It was incredible," he said. "I learned so much those three weeks I was there: How to play the game, how to do the little things, running the bases, being a better defender. I just enjoyed it."
Then it was time to switch to the Minor League side and start preparing for his first full season as a professional. This isn't a guy who has a ton of experience at any level, so it might have been easy to get used to the big league life, the spacious clubhouse, the big crowds for games. With all due respect to the Reds' facilities, moving down as Alonso did is kind of like going from a penthouse to a studio apartment.
"It wasn't that bad," Alonso said of the transition. "I knew I wasn't going to be there that long, and I just wanted to learn and get my at-bats. I enjoyed it. I just have to keep working at it, work very hard, and eventually, it will pay off."
His work has already paid off in terms of impressing the Reds' staff. When Alonso came over, he didn't skip a beat, and got right to the task at hand. It has not gone unnoticed.
"It's been a seamless transition," farm director Terry Reynolds said. "It's just the way he's gone about it. He came into camp in great shape. You can tell he worked hard in the offseason, and he's had a good attitiude."
Everyone has always known about Alonso's bat. As one of the better college hitters in last year's Draft class, he's the type who most feel will get to the big leagues sooner rather than later. But as impressive as he's been offensively, it's how he's embraced other aspects of the game that earn him high marks. His defense has been much improved, and he loves talking about nuances of the game he never thought were that important.
"Running the bases, that might be one of the biggest things," Alonso said about what he learned in big league camp. "You look at all the pro guys, and they all know how to run the bases, even if you're slow.
"I didn't see that as a tool of mine, but now I can run the bases. I'm pretty smart at running the bases. I'm not fast, but I definitely know how to run the bases."
The faster those lessons become ingrained, the quicker Alonso will prove to be big league ready. When he was first sent down, he was playing with the Double-A Carolina club, and by all accounts, he performed well. Then rosters were shuffled around a bit, and Alonso found himself playing with Class A Advanced Sarasota. Rosters haven't been set quite yet, but it seems that the most likely scenario is for him to stay right here to start the season.
Alonso doesn't lack confidence by any stretch of the imagination, but he's also realistic, and without demands or outlandish expectations. He wouldn't mind being sent to Carolina, but if that doesn't happen, he realizes that the goal -- to get to Cincinnati -- is the same.
"I don't know what's going to happen," he said. "I don't really care. I just want to play every day. I would love to start in Double-A. I think I can play there. You play at Double-A, and you never know what can happen, [maybe] a September callup. My goal is to get to the big leagues by September, hopefully."
His time in big league camp certainly didn't hurt that wish at all. Even though it was three weeks of workouts and games that don't count in the standings, it served to whet his appetite. And that's the idea, isn't it, to serve as a carrot to dangle in front of such players as Alonso as they toil in the Minor Leagues?
"It's one of those things, once you feel it and you see that and you get to play your first game, you hit your first home run, things like that, that's when you soak it up and think, 'Man, you can definitely play here,' " Alonso said. "That's when you want to get back at it."
And if he needs any other reminder of that time, he need only to take a look at that memento from the game against the World Series champion Phillies. Well, at least until something better comes along.
"I got the ball, so I was pretty happy about that," he said. "It'll probably go with me wherever I go. It doesn't really count. When I hit my big league home run, that's the one that really counts. I'll definitely replace it."

Canon Guadelupe---Baja Mexico
We were met by Ernesto and he took about 450 of our peso's for a really nice secluded campsite with a roof over our heads, a grill, a picnic table
and of course------------a hot tub.
It was pitch black out----these shots were taken with a flash and me and Scott soaked in the hot tubs till they about put us to sleep.
The water temperature was absolutely perfect and the ambient temperature was too at a nice 55°.
The stars were out like you wouldn't believe-------I don't get to see the clear sky and stars back in my Southern Illinois hometown
like we did here in Baja.
Clothes optional
This picture was taken the next morning---but we set our tents up under this roof for the night without our rainflies-----it never rains in Baja !!!!!!
Scotts backpack is on the roof for a reason----which I'll get to.
So now the best story of the trip.
Me and Scott were sound asleep when I was wakened by a lot of noise---something really big was in our camp and
in the trash barrell. I knew there were no bears down there---but me and Scott are always camping in bear country--and
that was on my mind. I dismissed the bear thoughts and wondered what it was and hollered to wake up Scott.
There was no waking him up---and I got out of my tent and was shaking his tent and hollering at him to wake him up
and I heard the large animal run off----------it had very heavy sounding feet and we decided it was a horse ??????
But Scott never heard it at all. Actually his snoring was louder than the noise the animal was making.
We lauged it off and fell back to sleep after not finding anything out of place---what was it ?????
I have been here before with Gaspipe, Jonz, and another fellow.
We came thru in the middle of the day and stopped for a short while------but I was set on staying here this time--soaking in the hot springs and
hiking around and seeing all the beautiful plants in the Canyon------we have no jobs---we were in no hurry to leave and took it all in.
We were both up at sunrise taking pictures.
We were on the South side of the canyon and there were campspots and hot tubs on both sides of the canyon.
I think these plants are called "Fan Palms"
According to the E32 Mexico maps loaded in our gps's the elevation at camp was about 1.100'.
The peak you see here was about 2,800'.
The E32 maps were awesome and were topographical---a very good purchase before we left.
My last trips to Baja and mainland Mexico were done with much inferior gps maps.
We went for a long walk before suiting up as the sun rose swiftly and warmed things up nicely.
This place could be on anybodys bucket list----I wish my wife and
would join me down here.
Here is another campsite with a much bigger hot tub.
By the way------we were the only ones here.

Exciting fishing found in Yosemite National Park
Middle Gaylor Lake seems to hang at the edge of the world, and the west end drops off like one of those edgeless swimming pools with the jagged mountains of Yosemite forming a distant backdrop.
If you make the hike to Granite Lakes, you will find the two lakes tucked up against a massive granite mountain. The waters are sparkling clear and the exposed shoreline is easy to hike and offers ideal conditions for the fly fisherman.
A little effort gets you away from the crowds and into some of the most exciting fishing to be found in California.

OK, that's not the most accurate headline in the world, but hopefully it got you reading this far … and besides my readers know I love alliteration. I did watch last week's "CSI," but honestly there's nothing to say except it was forgettable. (But if there was something lively there, post a comment by all means!)
Last night I didn't tape the show because I took the chance to watch "Iron Man" at a sneak preview at Premiere Theatres. (My review appeared in today's paper and go to ReflectorCam 2.0 on www.norwalkreflector.com to see footage of interviews I did with fans before the movie.)
I had a grand time watching "Iron Man." I've enjoyed Robert Downey Jr. in everything he's been in and this was no exception. He did a fine job pulling off Tony Stark: his arrogance ("That's not bad" to being called "the 'Merchant of Death'"), his passion for the bottle ("It would be irresponsible not to drink" when his best friend Rhodey is attempting to give him a tongue-lashing), the womanizing, even causing laugh-out loud moments to chastising one of his helper robots for using a fire extinguisher unnecessarily.
I could go on, but let's face it: Downey owned that role.
My only disappointment, and it's a mild one, was the final fight and length of the film itself. Both were a tad too short.
I admit I wasn't crazy — or I thought director Jon Favreau was — about casting Gwyneth Paltrow as Stark's faithful assistant Pepper Potts. Paltrow's never been one of my favorite actresses and I thought she'd just mail in her performance to get some exposure and corresponding big paycheck in a Big Summer Flick.
But, I found Paltrow's Potts (ooh, more alliteration!) instantly likable. Yes — instantly!
In the comics, Potts has many more unrequited feelings for her boss; here it's a bit more "will they or won't they" with Stark expressing his dependence on her, but Downey and Paltrow have great chemistry.
And boy does Paltrow look smokin' in that backless dress. Best of all, though, Potts is never purely a damsel in distress. Horray for Favreau!
On the downside, even as much as there is of Terrence Howard as Col. Jim Rhodes, I wanted to see more of him. I wouldn't call Rhodey as one-dimensional as Variety says in its review. Favreau (who has several great cameos as Stark's driver/bodyguard) added some nice tension between the characters (Stark: "The humdrum humvee is back there"), but ultimately you see they are friends dedicated to looking after each other's back.
One more nice fanboy, non-spoiler touch before I sign off: How about Rhodey eyeing the Mach-2 Iron Man armor saying "Maybe next time, baby"? Yes, indeed! Love the foreshadowing. [Cue the KISS song "War Machine" …]
I'm beginning to babble. Last word: Go see "Iron Man." Come back here and let's yack about it.
