S&P Downgrades 9 Euro Zone Nations
By AP Friday, Jan. 13, 2012

(PARIS) — Ratings agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded the government debt of France, Austria, Italy and Spain on Friday. But it kept Germany’s at the coveted AAA level.
The downgrades deal a blow to the eurozone’s ability to fight off a worsening debt crisis. All told, S&P cut its ratings on nine eurozone countries.
The rating agency ended France and Austria’s triple-A status. It also lowered Italy’s and Spain’s by two notches and did the same for Portugal and Cyprus. S&P also cut ratings on Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Baha’u’llah says:

“Had they but fixed their gaze upon the testimony of God itself, had they refused to follow in the footsteps of the abject and foolish among their leaders and divines, they would doubtless have attained to the repository of guidance and the treasury of virtue, and quaffed from the crystal waters of life eternal in the city of the All-Merciful, in the garden of the All-Glorious, and within the inner reality of His paradise.” (Baha’u'llah, Gems of Divine Mysteries, p. 7)

Year’s Hottest Tech Doesn’t Always Succeed

Editor’s Letter
As I write this, 2012 International CES–the Las Vegas-based tech mega-showcase formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show–is winding down. So ends four days of demos, meetings, presentations, parties, and bluster.
For journalists and civilians alike, CES offers a great way to monitor the state of technology. An event with piles of product introductions, interesting ideas, and out-of-left-field innovations suggests a healthy tech ecosystem, with plenty for consumers to get jazzed about in the coming year. A lackluster CES foretells a dreary tech landscape.
Fortunately, CES 2012–which put roughly 20,000 new products on display–was chockablock with great new stuff. The big themes were smart HDTVs, Ultrabooks (supermodel-thin laptops built around Intel’s latest chips), and–inevitably–Android tablets.

Because human powers are multiplied thousandfold.
Because world problems are tackled and solved by wise,
knowledgeable and talented minds in all aspect of life, with
voluntary cooperation of mature human beings..
Because after this year, the way to future will become clear
to all nations and individuals.

Abdul-Baha says:

“For every thing, however, God has created a sign and symbol, and established standards and tests by which it may be known. The spiritually learned must be characterized by both inward and outward perfections; they must possess a good character, an enlightened nature, a pure intent, as well as intellectual power, brilliance and discernment, intuition, discretion and foresight, temperance, reverence, and a heartfelt fear of God. For an unlit candle, however great in diameter and tall, is no better than a barren palm tree or a pile of dead wood.” (Abdu’l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 33)

Yes, deifinitely.
Read the Holy Books of the Abrahamic Religions
and you will find the same definition about God.
The divine sound is important, but the Essence of Word
is decisive. God is Reality of myriad names and attributes.

This is the Age of maturity of the human race.
Following are the signs of their mature degree in 2012:
They think and act as responsible world citizens.
They consider themselves as children of God,
created in His image and likeness.
And because of this high level of knowledge
they truly love and serve all mankind as spiritual
members of one family.

Year 2012 (twenty twelve)
