Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sept. 7, 2008
"If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts." Psalm 95:7-8
The organ is too loud … the cantor's voice is too high-pitched … stop pounding that piano … I don't like the music … why can't you go back to the balcony and stop distracting us?
It seems at times that all we hear is criticism, and so we might miss an honest and even beneficial critique amid the din or because of how the necessary correction was delivered. However, if we're true to our ministry of service, we should make the extra effort to sort out the messages and, if there's a consistent theme to the negative comments ("on the testimony of two or three witnesses"), we might want to pray about, consult over, and address the concern. And, if we are unnerved by constant criticism, we might want to look at how critical we are of other ministers — an occupational hazard of pastoral musicians (and presiders, too, I might add).
We know that personal taste and opinion often drive the comments and complaints that we hear, but it might be good — for us, for our ministry, and for the Church — to consider whether we're listening with an open heart and mind. And even though we're called to do our best and be our best as minister's of the Church's worship, we need to remember that it doesn't all depend on us. Even when everything that possibly could go wrong does go wrong, Jesus assures us: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Lord, make us attentive to your presence in our midst. Strengthen us to serve you wherever two or three are gathered in your name.

Reviving the Mod Spirit by the Seaside in Brighton
The huge target sign on the bedspread, the scooter wing mirrors hanging off each side of the mirror, the Keith Moon pop art on the walls–all this can mean only one thing: you're staying in the Modrophenia room of the Hotel Pelirocco. Ever since Phil Daniels and Toyah Wilcox descended on the Sussex seaside town in 1973 for Quadrophia's tale of war between the mods and rockers, Brighton has been famed for rock and roll debauchery. Its proximity to London (close enough for a day trip but far enough that what happens in Brighton, stays) has given it naughty weekend status and nowhere caters for that better than the Pelirocco.

GIRLS- Lust For Life
as i lay awake thinking of you i can't help but sigh at how in love we are. it's so refreshing to be able to lay, talk, mess around with someone who accepts me for exactly who i am. i love that you love me. i love that i don't even have to try.i love that i feel like i've known you my whole life. i love that we laugh at the same things. I love that my reaction to you licking the inside of my nostrils is to kiss you even harder. i feel so foolish when i see you pull out your phone to text someone and i wonder, "is that another girl?" the gates open and the flood of "if's" drown my lungs. then like poseidon himself i rush the waters back into their gates because i realize our love is like no other. our love is what people dream of babe. don't ever doubt it.
forever yours
Need you like water in my lungs.
Then i think we'd get along just fine
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Seriously.

Pieces from a blog I found, a hiker's collection of diaries. Interesting little books filled with sketches, maps, notes on weather and general ephemera collected over his travels.
(Click images for slideshow)
London Book Fair, Earl's Court, 2012.
Three days of self promotion and contact making, it was a great experience. All of my business cards went, and the bulk of my books did too. It's a shame that the general vibe received was that actually, most publishers weren't there to gather illustrators, but to actually do business and have boring board meetings. Why do that when you can look at pretty pictures? The mind boggles.

Performances in Libby Gardner Hall this week celebrate not only the nuptials of Figaro and Susanna, but also a 20-year collaboration between Robert Breault and Joel Rosenberg. Breault's University of Utah Lyric Opera Ensemble and Rosenberg's Paradigm Chamber Orchestra are teaming up in a streamlined, semistaged production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro."
"It's kind of a greatest-hits version," Breault said, explaining that the opera's running time will be cut roughly in half, mostly through the elimination of recitatives. He'll help fill in the narrative gaps with spoken commentary. "We'll keep it moving," he said. "It will be very clear what's happening even though we can't do supertitles."
Sets and props will be minimal, but that doesn't mean the show will be static, Rosenberg said. "We'll use the entire hall — the doors the audience comes through, the choir seats, some of the area on the main floor," he said. "It's not a straight concert version; it will be acted."
Breault said the collaboration began when Rosenberg invited him to sing the tenor solos in Handel's "Messiah" with one of the conductor's other projects, the American West Symphony and Chorus of Sandy. Breault wasn't available for all the dates but offered up his opera students. "He trusted me, and one of those students was Hugo Vera, who's singing at the [Metropolitan Opera] now."
Singing operatic roles with an orchestra is a fantastic opportunity for college voice students, Breault said. "How do you, as a student, get your first anything?"
Breault himself took advantage of that opportunity a few years ago when he sang the role of Don José in "Carmen" with the Sandy orchestra in preparation for singing it with professional companies such as New York City Opera.
The experience benefits the orchestra musicians, too, Rosenberg said. "These people love the great classical works," he said. "That's the fun of it — doing something together that you can't do alone."
Here comes the bride
P The University of Utah Lyric Opera Ensemble and Paradigm Chamber Orchestra present a semistaged production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro." Joel Rosenberg conducts. The opera is sung in Italian, with explanatory commentary by Robert Breault.
When • Friday and Saturday, Feb. 14 and 15, 7:30 p.m.

Often known simply as the festival of lights, Deepavali is one of the key celebrations on the Hindu calendar and is one of the many festivals that is marked by the Indian community in Malaysia. The country welcomes a nationwide public holiday as Hindus and non-Hindus alike gather together to celebrate this special day.
Deepavali, for those not in the know, is an annual festival that falls during the 7th month of the Tamil lunar calendar. It gained its moniker as the 'festival of lights' thanks to the tradition of lighting candles in believers' homes during this time to symbolize the triumph of light over dark, and good over evil, as the festival celebrates the moment when Lord Krishna, according to one legend, defeated the evil King Narakasura.
As with all celebrations in Malaysia, Deepavali has many edible delicacies associated with this special time, and stalls all over the country will spring up selling Indian sweets and savoury treats to tempt you, whether you are celebrating or not. These snacks are often served at the various open houses that many people will attend and are predominantly sweet, as they are thought to promise a sweet year ahead.
So if you want to ensure that the year ahead is filled with sweetness, take this chance to give yourself a sugar rush and taste some of the best sweets around this Deepavali time.Here are some of the more popular treats that you are sure to spot in a shop or on a roadside stall near you:
Laddu: These little balls of sweetness are a very popular sweet during Deepavali, particularly as they are so easy to make! Laddu are made by mixing garam flour, semolina, spices and sugar, and rolling the mixture into handy-sized balls.
Gajar Halwa: Also known as carrot pudding, this delicious treat is made by boiling grated carrots in milk until soft, before combining the mixture with - but of course - lots of sugar.
Ghee Balls: As calorific as the name suggests, these balls are made with ghee, grinded cashews, flour and sugar. They simply melt in the mouth, making them rather addictive.
Murukku: These crunchy coiled biscuits are a popular snack any time of year, and are made from a batter of flour and spices that is fried until crispy.
Dahi Bhalla: Fried spoonfuls of batter are soaked in water, and then served in a yoghurt mixture for a refreshing snack.
Omopadi: Another savoury snack for those with a sugar over-load, these crispy, noodle-like snacks are made by creating a dough with garam flour, rice flour and ajwain powder. The dough is squeezed through a special press with tiny holes and then deep-fried until crispy.
Jalebis: These bright crispy treats are made by creating a batter of semolina and flour, which is then piped into thin strands and twisted into their shape, before being deep-fried. Once allowed to cool, they are soaked in syrup to give them that extra sweet kick!
But the list is endless! Each year, stallholders seem to develop more and more new sweets so there will be plenty to keep you munching the whole month long. If you are living in the capital, be sure to visit Little India or Brickfields, where all these delicious treats will be sold every day leading up to the festival – which falls on the 26th October – and join in the festivities the sweet way!

Fee improper for undeveloped lands
Surely Island County commissioners will not assess to non-city parcels "a clean water utility tax ... an annual fee in the neighborhood of $32 to $47 per parcel in unincorporated Island County (to) fund a series of water protecting programs."
State law contains chapters on public utility districts and how and for what private property can be charged — none encompass what the Island County commissioners are suggesting. The commissioners should contact the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission for clarification.
From the get-go the very idea that unincorporated Island County parcels should be charged for the cleaning water contaminated mostly by development runoff is far fetched. At least the current "unpopular $62 septic fee" is related to pollution.

He severed his cock irreparably and thus has to piss through a tube for the rest of his life.Great, now my legs are squeezed together too tightly to freaking walk.
Gang, listen up: What I am going to describe is DANGEROUS. I'm not telling you it could go wrong, I'm telling you it did go wrong and I had to clean up someone else's blood.Somehow, I still have all my fingers. But tinnitus is a bitch.
Do not empty a plastic two liter bottle. Do not prepare the cap by making a hole in it smaller than a centimeter in diameter. The smaller the hole the more powerfully dangerous, up to a threshold you must avoid experimenting to find (and do not remember that it's much easier to make a hole gradually bigger than smaller). Do not fill the bottle with water and then empty it, to remove the CO2 from the soda that will inhibit the burning. With the cap off, do not spray for barely more than one full second into the bottle with a can of aerosol Right Guard. Do not screw on the lid. Do not place the bottle the ground. do not apply flame to opening in the cap.
You would never do these things because the result, when done exactly wrong, is a total flameover of the fuel/air mix inside the bottle that sends it (literally) rocketing away, probably faster than you can turn your head to track it, and certainly louder than you want to hear. MUCH louder. A tremendous high volume and high pitched wooshing/hissing noise, probably no more than two feet from your ear, were you foolish enough totally disregard what I said and do what I told you not to do. Under these conditions, the bottle behaves like a rubber balloon on steroids releasing it's air. Fuck steroids: like a balloon with lightning up its ass, a HARD balloon with lightning up its ass.
Yes, it hit somebody. In the head. Well, more like the face. Yes, there was a lot of blood, and stitches, too.
Oh, and be sure not to flush the bottle with water between each flight.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Apr-21-01 AT 08:03AM (Est)[/font][p]Hey, stuff happens. When you're sick you SHOULD take it easy, right? We're so programmed to think we have to work out no matter what, that we get stupid sometimes and overdo it. You were smart to take it easy.
I'm SO HAPPY because I was in my first successful ebay auction and fought with ONE other bidder on a set of three Chuck Norris action figures, circa 1986. Oh, YEAH, BABY!!! :7 I got 'em. I am a cheap date and very easy to please, obviously. One I will take to work to perch on my desk and the other I will keep close to my computer, and the other.....give my some ideas. Where should I put Chuck #3? They cost me $12.39 plus shipping!
My week: Damage control from two pig outs Easter week.
Sat: Power Circuit, 20 minutes of hard mowing, and CTX back, biceps and abs.
Sunday: Nuttin', just ate all day
Monday: MAJOR damage control: IMAX!!!!! Fun, fun, fun!!!!
Tues: One of the advanced Taebo tapes from the QVC set, the one in the blue box. This is my favorite Taebo tape of all! What a good work out, and fun!
Wed. nuttin'
Thurs. Leg workout at the Y....tried to keep it low weight and high rep
Fri: Walk at the Y for 45 minutes and PS Chest/shoulder/triceps
Did ok with my weight all week. I believe in keeping tabs, but Hey, that works for me.
Went to an Amish restaurant (Harville Kitchen, Deb H) and pigged out because they sent us a lot of coupons for buying a new house. They thought we'd moved in from out of town, but we didn't tell them any different, and got a free dining room dinner, a free pie, a free bottle of salad dressing, a free pound of candy ($9.99 a pound chocolate), $10.00 worth of stuff from their gift shop, and a free carry-out dinner. I also brought home some Whoppie Pies.
Today I'm moving slow and will do Mindy's Extreme Intervals to get me back in gear.
Have a good week, y'all. It is supposed to warm up this week for us.
Oh, Terri, you NEED to rest when you're sick! I'm doing only 3 cardio per week to rest my knee--it's GOOD to rest!!! (I'm convincing myself...)
Honeybunch, you are a powerful woman. I did Imax this week, too, and I just know you blew me away :-) (Yes, of course I did it low impact--imagine that...)
Here is the first week of my KNEE RECOVERY ROTATION:
MONDAY: CTX Back and Bis, PSLA hams, calves, and floor work, + Kathy Smith glutes and hams
IMAX--35 min, low impact, no step ( I chose this for its lower bpm--Iknow it seems a strange choice for recovery)
TUESDAY: PS CST wu, CTX Shoulders and tris
Living Arts abs video
WEDNESDAY: PSLA wu w/ modifications
BUNS OF STEEL floorwork ***DEBBIE!!!! Greg is very groovy, so are the legwarmers, but YOWSA, my legs were on FIRE!!! Thank you for the recomendation :-)
Body Electric hams and glutes
THURSDAY: Cardio Kicks (modified a lot for the knee)
FRIDAY: rest
SATURDAY: MIS wu
CTX upper body split
LEGS--60 min combo of Buns of Steel, Kathy Smith, and my own stuff (yikes, this was intense)
SUNDAY: I will do about 40 - 60 minutes of low impact cardio
Recovering stinks! I miss my cardio, and my knee still hurts. I'm thinking its cartlidge( sp?)...
Have yourself a wonderful week everyone!
I think you should perch Chuck # 3 in your workout area so he can cheer you on as you do those lunges off the board with a SOCCER BALL under your feet! Then of course, he could shout, "HIGHER" on those tuck jumps!! Hee-Hee! When were you at the Hartville Kitchen? We took my daughter's in-laws from out of town there last Saturday! Yummmm! Homemade STRAWBERRY PIE too! :9

"If You Get The Chance To Sit It Out Or Dance...I Hope You DANCE!!"
I just logged on to tell you I did Buns of Steel floorwork today! I started 2nd. guessing it wasn't that hard after doing Cathe tapes for a year, but he sure knows how to make those butt-cheeks scream! :-wow!! It's probably been a year or so since I did the tape. I figured I'd give it a whirl to see how it felt. It is quite outdated, but isn't Greg a hoot? I like the part when he says, "People will see you coming, but BOY, will they see you GOING!!! Glad you liked the challenge. Hang in there with your knee. You're doing the right thing by cutting back. Sending Healthy Vibes your way.
Your-Friend-In-Fitness, DebbieH :-)
"If You Get The Chance To Sit It Out Or Dance...I Hope You DANCE!!"
Hi Everyone,
I have to leave for work so this will be quick.
MON: Power Max
TUES: Interval Max
WENS: Circuit Max
THURS: MIC, ran 3 miles
FRI: Cardio Kicks
SAT: Body Max
Hope your all doing well! Terri hope you feel better soon!
Hi guys!
Terri, I am amazed you could do MIS when you felt so lousy. Hope the echinacea helped and that you're on the mend.
HB congrats on Ebay success with Chuck :-jumpy The thrill of victory! I am currently bidding on some Smokey Robinson autographed memorabilia and am determined to win! I recently lost out on a Smokey CD :( the bid went up to 36.00 for a used CD - too much in my opinion. The good thing about Ebay is that someone else always comes along with the same thing for cheaper if you're patient.
Wendy, I hope your knee is recovering. My knees have been a little squirrely lately and I know the smart thing to do is to lay off some of the higher impact stuff before I manage to really injure myself. Sigh. It's so hard to gear down when you get addicted to that high intensity.
BTW, Debbie H - how's your elbow?
My week, not too exciting:
S: PSBBA + MIC hi-lo
M: PSCST + MIC step
Th: Bryan Kest Yoga
I've been trying to do a rotation with cardio after weights for a change of pace but only managed 2 days of that this week.
Hope everyone else out there is doing well and has a great upcoming week.
Sounds like you need a break! Enjoy a little down time. Get well soon!
Your-Friend-In-Fitness, DebbieH :-)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Apr-23-01 AT 08:34AM (Est)[/font][p]Hope Spring has sprung in your area. it is 70* here today! A lil' rain mixed in too! :-( Here's my week;
Monday~Spin with Jay for 45 minutes, Taught a Hi/Lo class in the afternoon with toning & ABS
Tuesday~Taught a Hi/Lo with toning & ABS in the AM and then went to an instructor friend's class in the PM (Fun class!)
Wednesday~IMax!!!! I did ALL those power scissors! :-jumpy Let me tell you, I was huffing & puffing. Glad there wasn't a camera around! Mindy's killer floorworkout, I thought this tape would be all floorwork but it actually was a totalbody workout. Nice for a change of pace.
Thursday~Taught 2 Hi/Lo classes with toning & ABS
Saturday~MIC, both the Hi/Lo and Step sections! WHEW, what a workout when combined. My HR Monitor was beeping away! Original Buns of Steel w/Greg Smithey. As if MIC wasn't enough torture. I decided to tack this on the end. Let's hope I can get out of my theater chair tonight after the movies!!
Sunday~REST, cause we ALL need them.:-tired
I am starting back with VERY light weights on my strength work. At my classes, I used no weights at all but contracted the muscle very tight. At home on Mindy's workout, I just used 3-5 pounders for upper body and only 5 pounders for lower body work. I think I'm getting there with this ole elbow of mine. SLOOOOWLY, but surely. Have a great week everyone. I am cleaning and trying to get ready for my sis & her family coming in from Florida late tonight. Her hubby's Dad died and they live about a half hour from here. It will be nice to visit with my sis! :7 Can't wait for the new DVD's !!!
Your-Friend-In-Fitness, DebbieH :-)
"If You Get The Chance To Sit It Out Or Dance...I Hope You DANCE!!"
Terri, I am with you this week. I got a very nasty cold and was all achy and stuffy so working out was not at the top of my list. On top of that I hurt my back. On top of that my period started. AND on top of that I got an eye infection and had to wear my glasses for two days (prescription is not up to date and could not see very well) instead of my contacts. I feel better now and hope to start fresh Monday! :-) Slowly of course!
MONDAY: Nothing
TUESDAY: 2-mile walk
WEDNESDAY: Kathy Smith's Step Workout (1st section)
Tamilee's Total Body Stretch (floor)
THURSDAY: Cleaned out house and cooked fried crappie, french fries and hushpuppies for a friend of my husbands
FRIDAY: Nothing
SATURDAY: Yard work...BIG TIME!
I hope I don't feel pathetic when I start working out next week. I will just consider this past week a rest week which makes me feel better about it... it really was pathetic but I felt the need of a rest week coming on for a while. It just takes something getting my attention to actually take one!
Hope everyone else had a wonderful week!

Prepare yourself for the out-of-this-world theatrical re-release of the deranged Italian sci-fi/horror epic that 1979 couldn't handle!
"The Mount Everest of insane '70s Italian movies." – Mondo Digital
"It's the schizophrenic mother of all '70s drive-in oddities. A ridiculously entertaining hybrid of Rosemary's Baby, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Birds, Damien: Omen II and more." – Village Voice
"A unique viewing experience … The Visitor is a weird, batsh*t crazy film." – Geek Nation
In this unforgettable assault on reality - restored and presented uncut theatrically for the first time ever in the US - legendary Hollywood director/actor John Huston (Treasure Of The Sierra Madre) stars as an intergalactic warrior who joins a cosmic Christ figure in battle against a demonic 8-year-old girl, and her pet hawk, while the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Multi-dimensional warfare, pre-adolescent profanity and brutal avian attacks combine to transport the viewer to a state unlike anything they've experienced ... somewhere between Hell, the darkest reaches of outer space, and Atlanta, GA The Visitor fearlessly fuses elements of The Omen, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, The Birds, Rosemary's Baby, The Fury and even Star Wars creating the most ambitious of all '70s psychedelic mindwarps . Its baffling all-star cast includes Shelley Winters (Night Of The Hunter), Glenn Ford (Superman), Lance Henriksen (Aliens), Franco Nero (Django) and Sam Peckinpah (director of The Wild Bunch). (Dir. by Giulio Paradisi, 1979, Italy, dubbed in English, 108 mins., Rated R, Drafthouse Films) Digital

Re:That's a lot o' IT (385 comments)
That's near the ratio our company has.
We're a construction company, bridges, highways, tunnels, that stuff.
about 6,000 staff (engineers, superintendents, support services) and 16,000 craft (men with hammers).
There's about 15 regional IT guys, and about 15 in the home office, since everything is run centrally.
That's 1:300 on the engineering and support services, but 1:730 on the whole.
25:15000 (1:600) doesn't seem bad on the whole.

Wes Welker wanted to enjoy the beautiful Boston weather Wednesday and once more take in the sights of the city that he called home for six years.
But he knows how passionate Boston sports fans can be, and expected the worst when he hit the town in the afternoon. He did, after all, break the hearts of many Patriots fans when he signed a two-year deal with the Broncos in March.

"I took that as a little sign of disrespect," Chalmers said.
Westbrook hit his first four shots and the Thunder made six of their first seven in a 13-3 burst out of the gate. A run of six straight made it 23-12 against the stunned Heat, who started 5 of 17, and it grew to 33-17 on Harden's fast-break layup with 21 seconds left.

Get in early workout, improve pregnancy experience
While being pregnant always sounds like a great excuse to sit around all day eating chocolate-covered pickles, it's actually prime time to get into shape. Check out these photos and click here for the related article.

Double squat to rear double lunge (10 reps)( Gina Ferazzi/Tribune Newspapers Photo )
Muscles worked: All the major muscles in the legs with a focus on quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves.
How to do it: Standing with your feet shoulder-distance apart or slightly wider, perform two squats by shifting your hips back as your bend your knees, as if you were going to sit in a chair. Stand and repeat the squat. After doing two squats, step your right leg back about 2 to 3 feet and then bend both knees, allowing your body to lower. Try to maintain a 90-degree bend in your knees at the bottom of the lunge. Lift back up before repeating the lunge. Return your right leg back to squat position and repeat the sequence. Continue lunging back on the same leg until you complete all 10 reps.
Modification: Use a chair for balance. The chair should be positioned on the same side as the rear lunge leg.

Angelo Henriquez is looking forward to pitting his wits against Manchester United team-mate Sam Johnstone when Chile tackle England in the Under-20 World Cup on Wednesday.
Chile lead Group E after a narrow win over Egypt while Peter Taylor's England side were frustrated by a late equaliser by Iraq during a 2-2 draw.
Johnstone was the only Reds youngster to feature in the Three Lions' opening game, with Larnell Cole and Tom Thorpe left on the bench, and he acquitted himself well, despite perhaps being a little fortunate not to receive a red card after conceding a penalty.
The promising goalkeeper will aim to frustrate Henriquez, who ended his debut season in England on loan at FA Cup winners Wigan Athletic.
"I know Sam very well and he is a very, very good keeper," Henriquez told FIFA.com. "If I am going through against him, it will be an interesting situation. I know him well but he also knows me, so let's see who comes out on top. We are sharing the same hotel here in Antalya and I have already met him and Larnell around the place, and we had a good chat.
"We weren't joking too much about the game – just catching up really – and we all realise how important this is for our teams. Just from knowing these three United guys, I know England will be very tough opponents for us. I have already been speaking to my team-mates here about what to expect, and I hope they understand and are prepared for what is coming. The main thing with English players is their strength and their spirit - they never give up. We have to be ready to be as strong and as determined as they are."

Napoleon Would Short These 2 Stocks
Marie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
What made Napoleon such a great military leader? Focus. His strategy consisted of "focusing" on one part of the enemy and quickly defeating that part. While he possessed numerous admirable qualities, his ability to focus set him apart from the leaders of his time.
Two tenants of focus
It's becoming increasingly evident that some of today's front-page CEOs have been skipping history class. Take a moment to dust off your old business textbook and you'll find that the role of a CEO is to "increase shareholder value." While the charge lacks direction, it can be accomplished by completing two tenants of focus.
1. CEOs should focus on a company's core competency – A business typically does one thing well. A CEO should help the business do it better.
2. CEOs should focus on increasing long-term shareholder value – Avoid unbearable (bet the farm) risk, unnecessary expenses, and act in a way that increases long-term profits over short-term gain.
Successful CEOs uphold these tenants, while those who neglect them are likely to find their businesses struggling. Let's see how top CEOs stacked up in recent months:
The good
In April, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos issued his latest letter to shareholders. In it he explained how the company is sacrificing this year's profits in order to create long-term customer and product opportunities. Revenue rose 22%, while net income fell 37%. Bezos believes the sacrifice will create larger profits for next year, and for many years thereafter.
Continued focus on Amazon's ability to create, deliver, and maintain low-priced products sounds like a wise move. Given Bezos's history of focusing on Amazon's core competencies, it seems likely that an increased investment now will translate to increased profits later.
It would be a far cry for investors to want Bezos ousted from Amazon. Jamie Dimon probably wishes that all JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) shareholders felt the same way. Dimon has been in the news after a shareholder vote allowed him to maintain his roles as Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO. Despite his many responsibilities, Dimon has kept his focus fixed on the company's shareholders.
In 2006 Dimon recognized that subprime mortgages were becoming increasingly risky. In turn, it soon reduced its involvement with mortgage-backed securities, giving up fat short-term profits for drastically decreased risk. This allowed the firm to "avoid" the credit crunch to some degree and it was rewarded with a cheap acquisition of Bear Sterns. With continued focus on shareholders, Jamie Dimon is poised for another successful year.
Napoleon's short (the bad)
Mark Pincus, former CEO of Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), came under scrutiny as shareholders watched their stock fall nearly 50% in the past year. Lacking revenue, and direction, it appears Mr. Pincus forgot his company's core competency. To be fair, most investors aren't sure what Zynga's core competency is anymore, but maybe that's the problem.
Under Mr. Pincus's leadership and near its 52-week low Zynga's stock is worth 80% less than its IPO. Perhaps new CEO Don Mattrick can turn things around. He formerly ran Microsoft's Xbox division, and Zynga shareholders hope that he can bring with him the "niche focus" that helped the Xbox.
Last month, former CEO of Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) Aubrey McClendon retired due to increasing pressure from two large shareholders. Since then, numerous problems have come to light.
Reportedly, McClendon was operating a $200 million hedge fund that traded the same commodities that Chesapeake produced. In addition, McClendon has taken over $1.1 billion in loans against his stakes in Chesapeake oil and gas wells. It's clear that McClendon's failure to focus upon shareholders led to a significant conflict of interest for the former CEO.
The opportunity
Ronald Johnson, now former CEO of J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP), was known for his retail work with Apple. Chosen to rejuvenate its aging brand, he launched a new promotional strategy. No longer would there be coupons. Instead, everyday would be a sale day, with the savings already built into the price. Unfortunately, this alienated J.C. Penney's core consumer. The company's failure to focus upon its core customers resulted in decreasing sales and a falling stock price.
In March, the retailer again began issuing coupons. It's up to new CEO, Mike Ullman, to make sure J.C. Penney continues to focus on its core business and customers. The company has learned the lesson the hard way, and I doubt shareholders will let Ullman forget it anytime soon.
A battle you can win
J.C. Penney's fall illustrates yet another example for investors to scoop up beaten-down shares on the cheap. Read letters to investors, listen to keynote addresses, do your homework and learn if the CEO is abiding by the two tenants of focus. The CEO's of today should follow Napoleon's example. Implement the two tenants of focus and perhaps they will win the battle for the company's future.

Doing nothing, one feels as if one is a fool. One has to do something - if you cannot do anything, at least smoke. People start smoking whenever they don't have anything to do; smoking is a complementary thing. Whenever you don't have anything to do at least you can smoke; you feel occupied. People feel foolish if they have nothing to do. Have you not observed this phenomenon in yourself? If you are just sitting, you start feeling restless - you have to do something. If somebody comes, you will pretend to do. You will start reading the same newspaper you have read already just for show. Somebody has come, so you take the newspaper in your hand so that he knows you are doing something; otherwise he will think you are a fool. What are you doing? A man has to do something always and always, and continuously. People pretend, they cannot just be - it is not allowed.
In the West you have the saying that "the empty mind is the devil's workshop": if somebody is not doing anything that is dangerous. In fact, the active mind is the devil's workshop. The empty mind has never done anything wrong to anybody. Hitler is not an empty mind, Buddha is an empty mind. Genghis Khan is not an empty mind, Chuang Tzu is. All the nonsense that has happened down the centuries has been done by the active mind. The inactive mind has not done any wrong because the inactive mind is not interested in doing at all - so who bothers? You cannot persuade an inactive mind to become an Adolf Hitler, it will laugh at the ridiculousness of it. "Why?" it will say. "For what?'
Alexander, while coming to India, met Diogenes - he was an inactive mind. He was lying on the bank of a river resting, taking a sun-bath naked. Alexander was very much impressed: the peace that surrounded this naked man, the silence; the beauty of this man, the grandeur, the grace, the natural simplicity, the spontaneity. Alexander felt jealous. It is said that Alexander had never felt jealous of anybody else because he had more than anybody else - why should he feel jealous? But with this naked man he felt jealous - he had something that Alexander could never even dream about. And he said to Diogenes, "If next time I am sent back to the world, I will pray and I will say to God 'Now make me Diogenes, don't make me an Alexander again.'"
Diogenes laughed. He said "Why wait that long? You can become Diogenes right now. Who is preventing you? You can rest here and take a sun-bath, as I am taking.'
The point was clear - as clear as it can be. Alexander felt ashamed and he said "Yes, one day I also hope.when I have conquered the whole world, then I will also rest and enjoy like you."

Dear Men,
Can I just say that when the majority of you MEN complain about a woman taking to long to get ready, wearing too much makeup or even dressing skimpy just remember that it is because of the past generations making society a patriarchal society that controls on what people should look like or how to act.
So, don't blame us, we are the victims in this situation. Males are the culprits.
Oh sweet, sweet irony

Beyond the World news headlines
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Pakistan-despite failed NY attack, change will be slow in coming
After the media frenzy following last weekend's failed car bomb attack on Times Square, you would be forgiven for thinking that something dramatic is about to change in Pakistan. The reality, however, is probably going to be much greyer.
Much attention has naturally focused on North Waziristan, a bastion for al Qaeda, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Afghan fighters including those in the Haqqani network, and the so-called "Punjabi Taliban" - militants from Punjab-based groups who have joined the battle either in Afghanistan or against the Pakistani state. The Pakistan Army is expected to come under fresh pressure to launch an offensive in North Waziristan after Faisal Shahzad, who according to U.S. authorities admitted to the failed car-bombing in Times Square, said he had received training in Waziristan. Unlike other parts of the tribal areas on the Pakistan-Afghan border, North Waziristan has so far been left largely alone.
But it is by no means clear that the Pakistan Army will be rushed into launching a big offensive in North Waziristan. It is already stretched fighting in other parts of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), including in South Waziristan, where it embarked on a major operation last year. Before starting any new offensive, it needs to be sure it is not going to be attacked from the rear, or become so thinly stretched that it loses hard-fought gains elsewhere. As one senior military official told me, you have to be very sure-footed, consolidate your gains, and make sure your bases are secure.
That said, even before the failed Times Square attack, the New York Times suggested Pakistan was beginning to weigh the possibility of tackling militants in North Waziristan. But its decision on timing is unlikely to be dictated by one incident, however dramatic. The Pakistan Army has put considerable energy into improving its image after the tarnishing of the Musharraf years, and is determined to show that when it does launch military offensives, it does so to win. And if there is one thing worse than not going into North Waziristan, it is going in there and losing.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Is Baluchistan more strategically significant than Afghanistan?
Baluchistan, Pakistan's biggest province, rarely gets much attention from the international media, and what little it does is dwarfed by that showered on Afghanistan. So it is with a certain amount of deliberate provocation that I ask the question posed in the headline: Is Baluchistan more strategically significant than Afghanistan?
Before everyone answers with a resounding "no", do pause to consider that China - renowned for its long-term planning - has invested heavily in Baluchistan, including building a deep water port at Gwadar on the Arabian Sea to give it access to Gulf oil supplies. The region is rich in gas and minerals; attracting strong international interest in spite of a low-level insurgency by Baluch separatists.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
India and Pakistan agree to hold more talks: now comes the hard part
As predicted, the prime ministers of India and Pakistan agreed during a meeting in Bhutan that their countries should hold further talks to try to repair relations strained since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Foreign secretary Nirupama Rao told reporters at a regional summit in Thimphu that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his counterpart Yusuf Raza Gilani had decided their foreign ministers and foreign secretaries (the top diplomats) should meet as soon as possible.
In agreeing to hold more talks, India and Pakistan have overcome the first major obstacle in the way of better ties - the question of what form their dialogue should take. Pakistan had been insisting on a resumption of the formal peace process, or Composite Dialogue, broken off by India after the attack on Mumbai which it blamed on the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group. India had been seeking a way back into talks which stopped short of a full resumption of the Composite Dialogue.

Wagah – The tragicomedy of India-Pakistan
Most people who follow South Asia have either watched the Beating the Retreat ceremony at Wagah on the India-Pakistan border on video or been there in person. The farcical and choreographed display by goose-stepping soldiers from India and Pakistan as they slam shut the gates on the border crossing is such a staple for Western journalists that it has almost become too cliched to write about.
But having been there myself for the first time last week, after 10 years of following India and Pakistan, I can't resist throwing in my own two cents' worth.

When India-Pakistan wargames become real
Pakistan is conducting its biggest military exercises in 21 years and at the weekend thousands of troops backed by fighter jets took part in a mock battle to repel a simulated Indian military advance and inflict heavy casualties. The manoeuvres were designed to test a riposte to India's Cold Start doctrine of a rapid and deep thrust into Pakistan in a simulated environment, but you are never far from real action on the heavily militarised border between the two countries.

On U.S., India and Pakistan: maybe some transparency would help
According to the Wall Street Journal, "President Barack Obama issued a secret directive in December to intensify American diplomacy aimed at easing tensions between India and Pakistan, asserting that without détente between the two rivals, the administration's efforts to win Pakistani cooperation in Afghanistan would suffer. "
"The directive concluded that India must make resolving its tensions with Pakistan a priority for progress to be made on U.S. goals in the region, according to people familiar with its contents," it says.

Standing by your friends:India, U.S. push ahead with nuclear deal
For all the hand-wringing in India over getting sidelined by the United States in its regional strategy, the two countries have gone ahead and just completed an important deal on the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel from reactors to be built in India.
The agreement is a key step in the implementation of the India-U.S. civil nuclear pact which grants India access to nuclear fuel and technology, even though it has not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Under the agreement India can reprocess U.S.-originated nuclear material under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards which in itself is a symbolic concession, according to the Washington Post. It said that the Indians were a bit concerned about the idea of American officials running around their nuclear reactors , a sort of "a symbolic, sovereignty issue" as a source in the U.S. nuclear industry said. They would rather submit to oversight by the IAEA, which thus far is a model the United States has only followed for nuclear collaboration with Europe and Japan.

India and Pakistan: a personal view of the water wars
It was so long in the making, so utterly predictable, that the news that Pakistan and India are now arguing over water carries with it the dull ache of inevitability.
When I was living in Delhi, which I left in 2004, a few analysts were already warning that the next war between Pakistan and India would be over water, rather than over Kashmir. The mountain glaciers which fed the rivers which are the lifeline of both countries were melting, they said, and sooner or later India and Pakistan would blame each other for climate change. I did not take it that seriously at the time. Not even after seeing first hand how far the Siachen glacier - the world's longest glacier - had receded.

Iran's role in Afghanistan
Iran has been hosting regional leaders, including Afghan President Hamid Karzai, to celebrate the Persian New Year, or Nowruz (a spring festival whose equivalent in Pakistan, incidentally, is frowned upon by its own religious conservatives).
The Nowruz celebrations, which also included the presidents of Iraq, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, are part of Iran's efforts to build regional ties and followed renewed debate over the kind of role Iran wants to play in Afghanistan. As discussed here, it has also been improving ties with Pakistan, and both countries may have worked together on the arrest last month of Abdolmalik Rigi, leader of the Jundollah rebel group.

India and Pakistan on the U.S. see-saw
Few who follow South Asia could miss the symbolism of two separate developments in the past week - in one Pakistan was cosying up to the United States in a new "strategic dialogue"; in the other India was complaining to Washington about its failure to provide access to David Headley, the Chicago man accused of helping to plan the 2008 attack on Mumbai.
Ever since the London conference on Afghanistan in January signalled an exit strategy which could include reconciliation with the Taliban, it has been clear that Pakistan's star has been rising in Washington while India's has been falling.
