Hedge Funds' Best Picks Show the Way for 2012
Information Technology
The technology sector gets a lot of attention from hedge funds, mostly because it seems like everyone wants to own shares of Apple (AAPL). The truth, though, is that the sector has performed admirably this year and should do well into 2012 based on analysts' estimates.
Through Nov. 10, the tech sector of the S&P 500 has climbed 2.4%, falling in the middle of the pack of the 10 sectors of the broad market index. Looking ahead to 2012, analysts expect earnings for the sector to grow 11%, which is a fine enough number but one that also ultimately falls in the middle of the pack.
As tech isn't excelling when it comes to performance or earnings growth expectations, hedge funds managers are predictably found on the opposite sides of stock bets. The 13F system isn't perfect, as we can't tell whether ownership of a stock means the hedge fund manager loves the company or is simply hedging a short position. That said, it's interesting to look at opposing views based on these filings.Apple is the perfect example. In the second quarter, Apple was among the most held of any stock by hedge funds and it may be likely to repeat again in the third quarter. Viking Global, Greenlight Capital, Omega Advisors, Soros Capital and Citadel all bought shares of the gadget maker during the third quarter. But on the other hand, hedge funds like Bridgewater Associates, Moore Capital, Vinik Asset Management and Tudor Investment dumped shares of the company during the quarter. The same story holds true among the other big tech stocks. Farallon Capital and Citadel bought Google (GOOG) as Moore Capital and Tudor sold. Brevan Howard picked up Cisco (CSCO) while Bridgewatch cut its holding. Third Point, Viking Global, and Soros bought SanDisk (SNDK) shares while JAT Capital sold the stock. Oracle (ORCL), Microsoft (MSFT) and Qualcomm (QCOM) all faced the similar push-and-pull.

Truluck's Seafood, Steak & Crab House touts itself as a corporate food chain with a conscience. Though this is no longer a novel idea, we are pleased with the pledge to "never serve endangered, overfished species" and to "follow all Ocean Conservancy guidelines." We likewise salute the sourcing of antibiotic-and-hormone-free beef, pork, and lamb from Niman Ranch.
Other things we admire about the elegant restaurant is its classic steak-house-style dining rooms, featuring dark woods, carpeted floors, and padded blood-red banquettes — plus a piano man playing casual tunes. We even appreciate the leisurely rate at which the chain is expanding: a half-dozen outlets in Texas, one in California, and four in Florida (Naples, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and this latest in downtown Miami). Finally, there is the army of waitstaff wearing chef jackets that reinforces our positive feelings with amiable and attentive service. Everyone at Truluck's wears a happy face.
Cynics who carp about the demeanor being a commercial friendliness scripted from corporate employee handbooks might have a point. On one occasion, our waiter recited his lines rotely — including a repeated, straight-faced reference to my wife and me as "ladies and gentlemen." We weren't sure if he was really nervous, on meds, or seeing double.
777 Brickell Ave.
Miami, FL 33131
Category: Restaurant > Seafood
Region: Brickell
Some waiters are clearly better than others, yet the staff appears to have been rigorously trained. This is a busy, 220-plus-seat dining room (with ten more tables on a patio), and there were occasional lapses (bread not brought and water glasses left unfilled), but these were glitches in an otherwise well-oiled machine that makes pampering diners a priority.
An appetizer of "hot 'n' crunchy fried shrimp" delivered five fairly large, succulent crustaceans lined up open-faced and swathed in crisply fried seasoned bread crumbs dappled with dabs of tartar sauce; drizzles of mango-jalapeño marmalade on the plate made for sweet-and-spicy swipes. A lumpy lump crabcake of sweet white meat with Maryland-style seasonings came lightly bound (no filler at all) and even more lightly browned in a pool of homemade tartar sauce.
Crabs are the house specialty here. Truluck's owns a fishery outside Naples, Florida, and employs its own group of crabbers: "From our traps to your table in less than 24 hours." A silver tray laden with the crabs du jour gets lugged around the room. On our visits, there were Alaskan king crab legs, Dungeness crab, whole Norton Sound king crab, and Jonah crab claws. There's a lobster tank as well.
The sweet Jonah crab, an Atlantic relative of the Pacific Dungeness, has more in common with the Florida stone crab. Like the latter, the white meat from the claw is the draw, and these Jonahs from Maine are less expensive: We sampled an appetizer trio of medium-size claws for $13. They arrived so well chilled that the nearly translucent crab beneath the cracked shells lacked full flavor; the hinges below each claw, however, were filled with luscious, lobster-like flesh. Lemon wedges and the traditional stone crab mustard sauce were served alongside.
Minced crab pieces were also mounded at the bottom of a soup bowl, over which a waiter poured hot yellow corn chowder sweetly flecked with diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. The resultant crab-and-corn chowder is the sole soup served and is far preferable to the Baja ceviche: limp snippets of shrimp and sea bass heavily macerated in what tasted like spicy, lime-soaked bloody mary mix, with a dollop of guacamole on top and greasy fried tortilla chips around it.
Fish entrées are offered pan-seared or grilled with just olive oil, lemon, and sea salt. For a surcharge of $8 or $9, you can dress it with "Pacific Spice" or "Pontchartrain" garnishes. We sampled Cook Inlet sockeye salmon plainly grilled. The nutty, naturally rich notes and meaty texture of this deeply coral-colored fish, along with a full grill flavor, made it seem as though it was cooked in a smoker. The Cook Inlet sockeye is delectable but enjoys only a short run that might be over by the time you make it here. Another Truluck's pledge: "We do not serve seafood out of season."
We tried the New Orleans-style Pontchartrain treatment with blackened grouper. Atop the flaky-fleshed fillet were crawfish tails, gulf shrimp, and blue crab in a "spicy piquant" Creole sauce that exuded cream, grain mustard, sherry, and just a little heat. Beneath the grouper came Parmesan mashed potatoes, which partners with many of the main courses. The cheesy nature of the spuds paired well with the creamy Creole sauce and assertive spices of the blackened grouper; not sure it goes as well with precomposed entrée plates of sesame-crusted Hawaiian tuna or Scottish salmon with béarnaise sauce.
A refreshing, multiflavored Pacific Spice garnish — peach half-moons parleyed with heirloom tomatoes, jalapeño circles, and a spicy vinaigrette — elevated delicate fillets of Alaskan halibut into a jazzy summer dish. The more-than-accommodating staff substituted a mac 'n' cheese side for the Parmesan mash at no extra charge. In retrospect, it wasn't such a smart trade, because thick elbows of pasta came smothered in sauce culled from some dairy product that tasted like self-deprecating Velveeta.

While TNA has been releasing talent left and right, including names like Crimson, Joey Ryan, Christian York, Taeler Hendrix, Matt Morgan, Doc, Tara, , D-Lo Brown, Bruce Prichard, and so on and so forth, there are certain names that seemed untouchable.
Hogan being one of them.
That isn't necessarily the case, however, as proven by a recent report from PWInsider.com that states Brooke Hogan, daughter of Impact General Manager Hulk Hogan, has been released by the company as part of its financial restructuring.
Brooke Hogan is gone from TNA, PWInsider.com has confirmed. The story making the rounds is that she was let go from the company on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. It appears she is the latest cut from the company due to their budget restructuring.
This is surprising for a number of reasons, the least of which is the fact that she is Hulk's daughter. Considering the lengths company President Dixie Carter has gone to keep him happy, it's interesting that Brooke was let go.
Then again, her job on screen as head of the Knockouts division was less than worthwhile and her ongoing storyline as Bully Ray's estranged wife went up in smoke when she publicly acknowledged her real life engagement to Dallas Cowboys' center Phil Costa.
Although you could argue releasing talents like Tara and Doc was indefensible, there's little debate on this decision. In fact, this move probably should have happened a long time ago.

The future of the Jazz is bright with lottery-pick players
Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — There's something about the moniker "lottery pick'' that makes one automatically think "great player.''
Obviously, it's not always the case — see Kwame Brown, Michael Olowokandi and Darko Milicic. But for the most part, especially in the NBA, it's the players who were once lottery picks that turn out to be stars that lead their teams to championships.
Last year's champion Miami Heat is a prime example. They had five players who were once picked in the top six in the draft — LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, Mike Miller and Shane Battier. The year before, Dallas had seven lottery picks on its champion team that included the likes of Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion and Tyson Chandler.
Go through past NBA champion teams and you'll always find high lottery picks (top 14 in draft) from Tim Duncan to Paul Pierce to Shaquille O'Neal.
While there are always busts, as noted above, as well as low-draft picks and non-drafted players who turn out to be excellent players, it's the high draft picks that everyone wants to build their teams around. And more than any other sport, players drafted high in the NBA go on to become the future stars of the league.
Utah's new general manager Dennis Lindsey is well aware of that concept and agrees that most NBA executives hope to load up their teams with as many lottery picks as possible.
"If you study the history of the league, you really have to respect what we call the scouting curves opinion,'' he said. "In football and baseball you can get all-time greats in later rounds. But in basketball, the talented prodigies, like LeBron James — most times they turn into the best players in the league.''
Lindsey acknowledges there are "late bloomers" in basketball, but says it doesn't happen as much as in other spots.
"When you study where guys are taken relative to their production, it's a pretty strong relationship that the better players are taken sooner,'' he said.
Remember the NBA list of the 50 greatest players ever that came out about 15 years ago? Of those 50 players, all but a handful were top-10 selections and 32 of them were top-5 picks. Of the players who have played since that list came out, those that would be considered among the all-time greats —James, Duncan, Kevin Durrant — most have been high draft picks.
That brings us to the Utah Jazz.
Forget for a moment about their 45-point loss Monday night and look ahead three or four years. Right now, the Jazz own more young, high lottery picks than anyone else in the NBA.
While five teams have more total lottery picks on their rosters (New York has the most with nine, but four are 38 years or older), no team has more under the age of 25. And the Jazz has the most under the age of 22 with Gordon Hayward (22), Derrick Favors (21), Alec Burks (21) and Enes Kanter (20).
It's a big difference from most of Jazz history when Utah has rarely had any lottery picks. Remember neither Karl Malone nor John Stockton were a lottery pick, and those great teams of the late 1990s only had a handful of lottery picks (Chris Morris, Thurl Bailey, Felton Spencer).
Lindsey gives all the credit to longtime Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor, who assembled the present roster with some shrewd moves to acquire the current group of high lottery picks.
The Jazz "earned" its lottery pick in 2005 thanks to a poor record and O'Connor traded from No. 6 to No. 3 that year to draft Deron Williams. That pick was parlayed into acquiring Favors and Kanter as well as Marvin Williams, who was traded last offseason for Devin Harris.

- If Misha Collins was playing "The Hunger Games" with Jared and Jensen, he would send in toy helicopters to distract them so he could attack.
- Misha will be directing an upcoming episode of "Supernatural." He says Jared and Jensen are always kind, giving a wide birth to new directors and trying to help them when they can. He, laughing, says this will not be the case with him.
- Richard Speight, Jr. (The Trickster/Gabriel) said the most asked question he gets on Facebook or Twitter is "where are you in 'Independence Day.'" He cringes that when you pull him up on IMDB, the "Independence Day" poster is the first thing you see. He said he shot scenes of pirating a radio station, as well as hours of rescue dialogue that were supposed to be simulcast on TV's and radios as background throughout the film. Every bit of his footage and audio was cut from the film. So the answer is – he is nowhere in "Independence Day," yet he gets credit.
- Richard Speight, Jr. said he would love for Gabriel to make a return to "Supernatural," but he only wants to return if it would propel the story in the proper way. He stated he didn't know The Trickster was Gabriel until he read the script
- Misha Collins said if Castiel ever comes back to the Men of Letters compound, he certainly won't be able to pay his way, so he will have to wear a French maid outfit and do dishes, laundry and clean.
Good news for all you Destiel shippers out there!
Team Castiel may very well have a guardian angel in the form of Misha Collins.
Speaking to TV Guide Canada at the CBS party at the 2013 Television Critics Association Press Tour in July, Supernatural regular Collins said he would be game for a fan fiction-affirming kiss between his character and Jensen Ackles's Dean Winchester. Well, provided Ackles follows through on one, minor condition.
"If Cas and Dean had a kissing scene, whether it's a dream sequence or not, I would just really hope that Jensen brushed his teeth," he quipped. "That would be my dream."
In all seriousness though, Collins noted that he does sense a definite tension between Castiel and Dean on set, especially after coming into contact with fanfiction that ships and points out the connections between the surface-straight duo.
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles agree that nothing is better than being a father, which is why they have taken the pledge not to text and drive. No text is worth the risk.
The Winchester brothers are up for an exciting new season when "Supernatural" Season 9 returns with some interesting episode titles. TV series' producer Jim Michaels revealed through a recent Twitter post that "Supernatural" Season 9 Episode 6 is titled "Dog Dean Afternoon" with a teaser image attached.
"That time again at #supernatural!!" Mr Michaels wrote on his Twitter account @TheJimMichaels. Director Tim Andrews will be handling the upcoming episode in addition to the other "Supernatural" episodes he worked on such as "Southern Comfort" and "Of Grave Importance."
However, the team behind "Supernatural" did not reveal what the story in "Dog Dean Afternoon" will be about. Speculations suggest that the title could mean character Dean Winchester will have the ability to transform into a dog or converse with man's best friend.
The CW has recently released two behind the scenes images of season 9, you can view them below, I will add them to the gallery later!

WHEREAS, While we in common with our brethren throughout the State and nation have witnessed with painful anxiety and regret the prolonged and bitter contest for an organization which has for several weeks been maintained in the National House of Representatives, yet we have observed with hearty satisfaction the noble stand which the Americans in that body have taken in behalf of Nationalism, and preservation of the integrity of the Constitution, and the maintenance of the Union, in defiance of the open and avowed sectionalism of undisguised abolitionism; and in spite of disorganizing intriguers, who, under the cloak of a pseudo-nationality, and for the promotion of a party triumph, have persisted in supporting a man whose record has been proved unsound, and in direct antagonism to the interests of Southern people and the constitutional doctrine on the subject of slavery,
Therefore, Resolved, That the American party of Davidson county cordially endorses the conduct of the National Americans who have consistently adhered to HENRY M. FULLER, of Pennsylvania, whose sound conservative and constitutional views, are alike honorable to his head and heart, and meet our unqualified approbation.
Resolved, That Tennessee and the country at large owe a debt of gratitude to the Hon. FELIX K. ZOLLICOFFER, the above and indefatigable representative from this District, for his eminent services as one of the most conspicuous leaders of his party on the floor of the House; and that we, his immediate constituents, fully appreciate his sterling worth as a private citizen, and his patriotic devotion as a public man.
Resolved, That it is our opinion that the members of the American party in Tennessee have endured long enough the bitter and denunciatory course which our opponents have seen fit to pursue towards them, and we recommend them to enter the coming Presidential contest in the spirit of men conscious of the rectitude of their motives and principles and resolved at all hazards to defend them as such.
In a spirit of harmony and good feeling the meeting then adjourned.
JNO. MORROW, Pres't pro tem.
C. W. NANCE, Sec'y pro tem.

Last minute look for a keg for my kegerator this NYE. I haven't brewed in a keg in a while and my kegerator needs a beer. Normally I would get from Captain Lawrence Brewing, but they're closed today. Anybody know of any distributors around here that would have 5gallon kegs of beer?
On Deck: Good question
Primary: CDA
Secondary: Empty
Kegged: Finnish Blond
Bottled: The Bitter Belgian, Drunken Porter, Steamin' Ale, Caramel Hefe, Finnish Blond, CDA, End of Days
Will your kegerator fit a quarter barrel keg? They may be easier to find than sixtels.
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own!

Thread: Onions and Garlic

Onions and Garlic
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I thought I would start off with a still life. Not exactly cutting edge stuff here. In fact it is a result of studying the masters.
This is one of the most thought out compositions I have ever done. I was adjusting the elements and lighting for three days before I even started drawing. Even some of the crumples in the bag were planned. My goal was to use the compositional techniques of 17th century Flemish classical realism to lead the eye through the piece. The dark areas of the bag serve as a contrasting background for the onions and garlic, and the interesting lighting effects on the shadow side of the bag create arrows that should lead the eye to the onion in the back. The background is lighter on the right side to create contrast with the shadow side of that onion. All this, just to make it look like my purchases from the market are waiting on my butcher block while I go look for a knife. By the way, I don't own a butcher block. I had to make that one up.
Comments and Critiques are welcome.

Holy crow!
What a wonderful rendering! Nice composition and textures!
Was this a lithograph or a graphite project?
The textures you achieved in the wood and the background are really sweet!
Congrats and post more!
Is there a color version in the future? Be interesting to see if you can push the value into RGB.

hey J.D. , nice to see you over here! i'm a member over at your artpapa forums. i've seen this piece before and i really love it. the texturing is great, that paper bag looks fantastic. Welcome aboard!!
January 15th, 2003 #4
This is what I should be doing more of; drawing/painting stuff around me!
You have certainly achieved your goal IMO: to get it to look like the 'old masters' ' work. Nice rendering, details, texture....
Crits: Ehm - none.
Oh - and welcome.
January 15th, 2003 #5J. D. Hillberry Guest
Thanks guys,
Thanks for the welcome and kind comments John P.
Good to see a familiar face here Zip.
Redehlert, this was done with charcoal and graphite. I use my digital to make the jpgs and there is always unwanted color casts so I switch everything to gray scale before I upload. It loses some of the detail and contrast but it's better than blue onions!
I recently got a new monitor and I need to calibrate it. Does anyone know of the best way to do this, aside from purchasing Photoshop?

Nice job, dood. I cant even think about how I would go about rendering a paper bag, and you did it perfectly!! great Job.

Incredible work, J.D. -- welcome to the board!
As far as calibrating your monitor, Photoshop and Illustrator (and maybe other Adobe products) come with a control panel called Adobe Gamma - I think they may even be included in the tryout version of PS, which you can download from Adobe's site. That way you should be able to run the calibration utility without having to pay for the full app. (I'm on a Mac, but I'm pretty sure Gamma is available for the PC as well.)

Hiya J.D....
Glad to see you here at CA. I've had your textures book for some time now. It's brilliant. Any plans on putting together another one?

January 15th, 2003 #15
I too would also like a traditional thread. Anyways. Awesome composition J.D. Thats what does it for me. I mean a lot of people can render an onion, but that composition is what makes that piece. Great stuff!

Omg... The onion, the bag, the wood table... omg wtf.. How do you do it?!?! That is insane, I must practice so I can do that.. What kind of pencil/s did you use??
April 4th, 2004 #21
Well yes it's lovely but.... it is also very formal and stiff. rather like a Prudhon nude, a Degas nude however almost lives and breaths. Why perfect and uniform rendering has this effect I dunno Escher gets away with it but the ideas are so good. Looking at the other comments I should probably now duck!

U of I study: Lack of omega-3 fatty acid linked to male infertility
From press release
URBANA, Ill.—According to a University of Illinois study, omega-3 fatty acids may be good for more than heart health. A little-known omega-3 may have implications for treating male infertility.
"In our experiment, we used 'knockout' mice that lacked the gene responsible for an enzyme important in making docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In the absence of DHA, male mice are basically infertile, producing few, if any, misshaped sperm that can't get where they need to go," said Manabu Nakamura, a U of I associate professor of food science and human nutrition.
"We looked at sperm count, shape and motility tested the breeding success rate, and the mice lacking DHA simply were not able to breed," said Manuel Roqueta-Rivera, a U of I doctoral student who also worked on the study.
In the DHA-deficient knockout mice, sperm counts were extremely low. The sperm that were produced were round instead of elongated, and they were unable to move well, he said.
But when DHA was introduced into the diet, fertility was completely restored. "It was very striking. When we fed the mice DHA, all these abnormalities were prevented," he said.
This is the first time that the importance of DHA to male fertility has been shown this directly, although some studies have suggested that male fertility patients with low sperm counts and less motile sperm tend to have low levels of this fatty acid.
The DHA study is part of the Nakamura team's efforts to understand the function of the omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. As part of that work, they have developed a mouse model to help them understand a particular fat's physiological role. By knocking out genes, they can create deficiencies of the fats they are interested in and learn about their functions.
"Knocking out the gene for the delta-6-desaturase enzyme has led to some surprising discoveries, including this one about the importance of DHA in sperm formation and mobility," he said.
Nakamura said our body must make DHA from dietary alpha-linolenic acids, the parent compound of the omega-3 fatty acid family. Vegetable oils, including soybean and canola oil, are good sources of alpha-linolenic acid.
Nakamura's team plans to continue focusing on this omega-3's effects on fertility. But he cautioned that there are still things they don't understand.
"We get hints from looking at sperm in the DHA-deficient animals about what type of pathology we may be looking at and why these polyunsaturated fatty acids are important. But we're still at the starting point in understanding the mechanisms that are involved, and we need to do more research at the cellular level," he said.
The study was published in the February issue of the Journal of Lipid Research. Co-authors with Roqueta-Rivera and Nakamura are Chad K. Stoud, Wanda M. Haschek, Sandeep J. Akare, Mariangela Segre, and Rex A. Hess, all of the U of I, and Richard S. Brush, Martin-Paul Agbaga, and Robert E. Anderson, all of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
Funding was provided in part by a CONACyT Mexico fellowship award, grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Foundation Fighting Blindness and Research to Prevent Blindness.

Dec. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Colombia's peso rose to a five-week high on speculation economic growth will draw more foreign investment to the South American country next year.
The peso touched 1,913.98 per U.S. dollar, the strongest intraday level since Nov. 18. It closed little changed today at 1,922.50, from 1,923 yesterday.
"Colombia's good fundamentals point to a stronger peso next year as the country attracts investment from abroad," said Francisco Chaves, a fixed-income analyst at brokerage Corredores Asociados in Bogota.
The economy probably expanded more than 5.5 percent this year, fueled by a surge in spending on infrastructure and a record $13 billion in foreign direct investment, President Juan Manuel Santos said yesterday. That tops the average for Latin America, which is forecast to grow 4.4 percent this year, according to a Dec. 21 report by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America. Colombia will grow 4.5 percent next year, more than the region's 3.7 percent estimated pace for 2012, according to the report.
The currency also gained today as investors closed out bets for a drop, Chaves said. Increased dollar holdings at Colombian banks this year have helped the peso avoid the kind of declines it posted at the end of 2010, he said.
The central bank's daily dollar purchases last year depleted cash holdings of the U.S. currency in local banks, sinking the peso to a seven-month low of 2,027.5 on Dec. 28, 2010.
"Investors were betting on a weaker peso at the end of the year and since that didn't happen they are purchasing pesos, betting on gains next year," he said.
The yield on the nation's 10 percent bonds due in July 2024 fell one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 7.63 percent, according to the stock exchange. The bond's price rose 0.087 centavo to 118.648 centavos per peso.

The Best of Kass
It was also another reason to recognize why common sense is an important part of the process for an opportunistic trader.
While the media had all but given up on the chance of a fiscal cliff compromise, it has always been reasonable to expect (and the market responded to) a likely 24th-hour agreement on Sunday or Monday.
That said, the devil is in the details, and my best guess is that a patchwork deal that will result in a $300 billion fiscal drag seems the best guesstimate.
The Republicans will likely blink on taxes, and there will be some modest spending reform from the Democrats.The rest will be kicked down the road during 2013.. The key issue is whether this is "enough" -- enough to engage the corporate sector in hiring, building inventory and expanding fixed investment plans. I really appreciate you reading my Diary today, and I hope it was helpful in your navigation of the market. I am "pooped," but I will see you bright and early tomorrow! As an aside, the S&P 500 index closed at 1418 -- amazingly only 3 handles from my "Fair Market Value" calculation, which has been in place since September.
