It has an historic year. We have lived through historic times. History was yet again made when the Palestinians submitted their bid for statehood to the UN during the current General Assembly Session.

One can not help but wonder where our World is going. But, this thought, courtesy of Jonathan Luckwood Huie, goes to the heart of what is important to remember and reflect upon while remembering to keep faith:

Take time to laugh.
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to think.
It is the source of power.
Take time to play.

It is the source of perpetual youth.
Take time to read.
It is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray.
It is the greatest power on Earth.
Take time to love and be loved.
It is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly.
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to give.
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work.
It is the price of success.

"Outsiders" Economy/Tech Newsflash (9/21/2011): Quite a Day!!

As I write this, the Fed just finished its' latest meeting and has announced a 400 Billion Cash infusion into the US Economy. I'll be assessing the implications of it.

What I find especially gratifying about this is how they disregarded the letter that the top 4 Republican leaders in the US Congress sent forth discouraging the Fed from doing any further easing. The Economy is stalled--and the strategy by the Republican is simply two allow the economy to be worst so that they can ride in.

Beyond the actions of the Fed, there is a lot going on as there are some "earnings season" is upon us. Oracle is about to report. But what I find very intriguing is rumors that the current HP CEO is about to be replaced with Meg Whitman. To me, that's a very good move indeed. Meg Whitman knows and understands technology and it is like going home for her!!

Exciting times!!!!

They are as follows:

"Outsiders" Americas Watch (9/18/2011): Fantasy vs. Reality

Friday again was not a good day for the US Economy. Unemployment claims continue to rise. Official Government figures say that the Economy will grow--but grow at a very slow pace.

Everyone I talk to is profoundly concerned. High Technology continues to grow. Medical Devices & Drugs continue to see grow spats. But, key manfacturing segments of the economy continue to lag. Construction, in my view, continues to be in a severe recession. Some may argue that it is in a severe depression

9/11: A Day To Remember

Today is Patroits Day in the United States. For many of us who remember that day, it is a day to again remember all who fell on that horrible day. It is also to remember all who served and continue to serve on the fronlines of defense to insure that such a terrible day does not happen again.

I remember where I was on 9/11. To this date, I could not believe how all those events unfolded as it did. The World will continue to be faced with profound headwinds as it navigates through some very challenging political and economic minefields. I thought about Epictetus' admonition when he noted

"Outtsiders" V-Thought For the Month (II)-August 2011

It has been a very busy month on the World Scene. Although I continue to be hopeful, the challenges continue to remain.

I have been thinking about the wars the US continues to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. I undestand that the Adminstration has told us that combat operations have ended in Iraq, but the reality is far from it. Just within the past 24 hours, Iraqi insurgents attacked the largest Sunni Mosque in Baghdad on the eve of Eid-Al-Ftr, one of the holiest days in Islam
