3 Little Digs recently caught up with 2 Chainz while on tour in the States. The Atlanta representative talked about the joys of being able to travel across the country performing his music to legions of fans, and added that he's even been able to take his live show out to the West coast.
"To me, it's remarkable coming from where I've from to be able to do them shows on my own. I just left Milwaukee last night, on a Sunday night, [and] for me to shut town the whole city was kinda ill," he explained. "I'm getting booked in Las Vegas, I'm starting to get booked more in the West."
The rapper formally known as Tity Boi also talked about his desire to become an actor. He explained that although he's never acted before, he was inspired by Kid Cudi and Pharrell's performances in HBO's "How to Make It In America" and now, he's taking a serious interest in expanding his brand to Hollywood.
"That's what I'm trying to get into next, [acting and soundtrack work]; maybe I need to go [Los Angeles]," he explained. "I saw ['How to Make It In America'] for the first time in my hotel room. It had Kid Cudi...Pharrell was in that shit. Y'all niggas holla at me, you know Forbes can see that shit."

Its been a while.
I have been grieving and writing, however not publicly. I decided the other day to start writing again. Not just to write about my continued griving of Saoirse, but to write about Kezia, who's cancer has just returned. I needed another outlet and writing is a great way to release.
First of all, I will be trying to post every other day. My focus is to release my feelings and thoughts about several things.. my wife's cancer returning, her choice of a homeopathic treatment course, an infant to care for, making sure we all eat healthy, grieving our daughters death ... just to mention the most. I am aiming to photo journalize not only Kezia's journey through relapse, but our families journey through her relapse and her course of treatment.
Here is the link to the latest CNN Health story on Kezia
In January of 2011 my wife Kezia was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage 3b. Because of her advanced stage she had to start Chemotherapy right away. We have a beautiful little girl named Saoirse, who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Stage 4 High Risk on May 5th of 2011. She was only 11 Months old. My wife and daughter were battling 2 different types of cancer at the same time. Kezia went into remission in September. Saoirse passed away December 13th 2011 at 6:47 am. She was 18 Months old.

New at Eataly: La Scuola Grande, Pranzo, Sunday Supper
There's much afood at the Italian megastore.
Grub attended a Lidia Bastianich–hosted lunch/cooking class today at the spanking-new Scuola Grande, where the chef talked and made fare, like a spring-veggie-laden risotto and a swordfish over zucchini and capers, and we ate and learned a few cooking tips. It was a preview of a new program at the newly launched larger Scuola, dubbed Pranzo ("lunch") — for 25 bucks you'll be able to eat a two- or three-course meal while watching at least one of the dishes prepared in front of you. That'll run Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. when Pranzo launches in a week or two.
La Scuola's roster of cooking classes will be expanded as well, including more "Food for Thought" sessions (many Lidia-led) that get into food anthropology and chemistry, plus vegetarian "Meatless Monday" classes. Also on the horizon: Sunday Suppers, $65 (or so) five-course meals lasting from noon to 7 p.m., paired with plenty of wine, certamente. Keep your eye on La Scuola's website for more. [Earlier]

Floridians deserve to know how the state's special taxing districts are spending public money. The review ordered Thursday by Gov. Rick Scott can be a learning experience, but it should not be a witch hunt aimed at gutting their effectiveness or their missions.
Scott issued an executive order calling on his budget office to examine the management and spending practices at the 1,615 special taxing districts across the state. These agencies are small units of government that raise money for the specific needs of individual communities, from child care and street lighting to mosquito control. Scott said the review would "allow us to identify ways to save taxpayer money and increase accountability." Perhaps. The real focus should be on conducting a fair review of what these districts do and how well they spend public money to fulfill their mission.
Because they typically handle smaller budgets than most city and county governments, special districts operate below the radar. But Scott should not presume at the outset that all of these districts are needless and a waste of money. Special districts arise from the desire of communities to address unique public needs. Rural areas may tax themselves to protect farms and water sources. Cities have created revenue streams for libraries, affordable housing and child protection programs. These agencies, in many cases, are overseen by civic leaders and represent the epitome of local control.
A similar review Scott ordered of the state's water management districts led to the governor and Legislature ordering sweeping budget cuts at those agencies — cuts that led to a downgrade this week in the credit rating of the water management district in South Florida, which is running the Everglades restoration effort. The governor needs to avoid causing similar damage to the special districts. Improving their operation is one thing; gutting their tax base and undermining their mission is another.

A former Carteret County deputy sheriff has been sentenced to prison time for skimming drug money.
In federal court in New Bern Friday, Frank Galizia received 18 months in prison and three years supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $84,880 in restitution.
Galizia was chief deputy for the Carteret County Sheriff's Office. He and former deputy Boyce Floyd pleaded guilty to the scheme in July 2010. Floyd still awaits his sentencing.
Three others, including the former Carteret County Sheriff Ralph Thomas, have pleaded guilty. Thomas is serving a 14 month prison sentence and was ordered to repay $84,000. The two other deputies were also sentenced to prison time.
Galizia and Floyd made unsuccessful bids for sheriff in 2006.

Wangnignigbe Ste Rita Group
In order to meet her family's needs, Christine Ayaba sells cereals (corn, rice and beans) and charcoal from her home. She has worked in this field for nearly ten years, and the business that she generates enables her to see to her family's various needs. She sources her goods from one of the main markets in Benin. This fourth loan will enable Christine Ayaba and the other members of the Wangnignigbe Ste Rita group to boost their business levels and to grow their customer base and revenues.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Dem Bones
I drew this last weekend at the LaBrea Tar Pits. These are the remains of an American Lion reconstructed and on display at the Page Museum. This has always been one of my favorite spots to visit in LA LA land, and if you ever get a chance to check it out, I don't want to over hype this, but its definitely worth the gander. For me, I take great comfort in the lack of permanence on this planet. No matter what we do, in time, all that will remain is a starved outline if we are lucky. I am fascinated at the possibilities presented in these Natural History Museums...LA, a city of millions, covered in pavement and chain link, crack whores and worse...celebrities. And yet, many thousands of years ago there existed a classic life or death struggle between those that eat and those that get eaten. Giant Sloths, Saber tooth Cats, Lions, Rhinos, Miniature Horses...and that's just what shows up on the fossil record. I am not going to hide my firm belief in Darwin's theory and yet I can only marvel and wonder at the gaps contained within. In the Origin Of Species, Mr. Darwin waxes eloquently about the vast spans of time on record and the fact that for every species recorded in rock, there are undoubtedly thousands that are missed. So many mysteries that are out there to be found. Who knows what lies beneath each stone in our collective back yards. Who knows what will await OUR bones in the next two thousand years. I guess, between the challenge of handling the basic architecture of the skeletons combined with the fantasy of a California where these beasts roamed (or Monsters as Mr. Darwin named them), there is much reward for these drawing experiences.
Speaking of great experiences, in the past couple of weeks I have had the pleasure of witnessing two incredible movies. The first was No Country For Old Men and I will not analyze it here (as I don't want to give ANYTHING away) but I wish to relay that I don't think there was a second where my interest wavered and not a character that I did not have a reaction to. Amazing storytelling. The second was Enchanted...yes Enchanted. I am a cynical, angry animation guy and yet sitting in the theater with my kids I was amazed at how the whole audience was literally lifting off of its seats to embrace this very sweet tale of love unfolding on the big screen. I was one of them. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I have to say I consumed every second of it with eager interest and investment. Not many films have that effect on me anymore. As with my opinions on No Country For Old Men, I do not wish to analyse Enchanted...It probably wasn't perfect...I just really liked it. Sometimes when faced with all the bitterness and hateful crap that is spewed out there on the blog-o-sphere(my own rants included...and I hate using contrite catch phrases like this piddly pun, blog-o-sphere, as much as I hate the term LOL...nobody f@#king Laughs out Loud...Puddle of snot, I'm ranting again...We're talking about love not hate you cheeseheaded slit prick... breath...calm energy...we're being positive...back to the subject...now), I need films like these combined with great drawing experiences to remind me that Dogma of any nature is inherently false and sometimes it is worth it to let stuff wash over you. It is easy to stick your thumb up your arse and say that everything new is crap and everything old is good, or vice versa...I think I'd just like stick my thumb up my arse for pleasure of sticking my thumb up my arse. Screw the Dogma.
Here are some more sketches from that day...sitting in the courtyard of LACMA (LA County Museum of Art...right beside the Tar Pits) drawing people waiting to go into the Dali touring exhibit. Not claiming that these are brilliant...but I had fun with the day. What else matters.

How's it going? Thanks for the positive words for Enchanted, glad you liked it!
Your drawings, as always, are fantastic (don't you ever get tired of being so good...take a breath and give the rest of us a chance!)
The family is doin' great, the kids challenge us at every turn (what my mother would certainly call "karmic retribution"...)
Hope all is well with your clan.
Keep in touch,
Yet another woefully domesticated man

Nice sketches Kris. I've wanted to go to the Labrea Tar Pits since I was a little kid and heard them mentioned on the Flintstones.
No Country is probably my favorite film of the year... AMAZING!!!

Great stuff, you're work looks so effortless and awesome.

Gotta love the pits. I find the family tableau of the mammoths mildly disturbing though Jsst out for a fun little forage, then BAM! ..Mother(or Father) watches helplessly as Father (or mother) is slowly consumed by the ooze. Couldn't agree more about "Old Country". I was riveted. Great stuff buddy

Thanks for the recommendations on the movies- havn't seen either yet but we plan to.

anybody used or seen panniers made from ammo cans? i'm thinking of making some, but was wondering if anyone had any input...
pros: cheap, waterproof to the point of complete immersion
cons: not the lightest things in the world

My friend did that for his Moto Guzzi.
It looked pretty cool.
I think they would be too heavy for a bike without a motor.
If you get the ones that measure about 12X4", they weigh probably 5 lbs each, and would work well, but make sure to keep the lids over the top of the rack, or you won't be able to affix them easily and still be able to open them.
I think the best thing to do would be to get small hose clamps and use those to connect them to the rack. Good idea!

If you want to go with something lighter there is a box called, I believe, Action boaters dry box. They are designed along the same lines as the ammo cans but they are made of plastic and totally water proof. You can also lock them.
This is page 4 of a "Rat Rod Bikes" Build-off record. Scroll back through the previous 3 pages for additional pictures.
Those ammo cans are very heavy, and I would never use them for a bike unless it was specifically to get an over-built military look like this bike was going for.
I don't recall if they have provision for a lock, but if so, would be reasonably theft-proof when locked.
Some of the Army/Navy places sell cheap knock-offs of some of the good military surplus gear that is in short supply, and something like that might be better.
"be careful this rando stuff is addictive and dan's the 'pusher'."
I consider this idea, but was (easily) talked out of it when I was told how heavy ammo cans are. Your best bet for a similar look is something like this:
, or building a pair of bucket panniers.

You know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense each year, trillions of dollars, correct? Instead -- just play with this -- if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world -- and it would pay for it many times over, not one human being excluded -- we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever in peace. Thank you very much -- Bill Hicks
he used "tall" .50 cal cans (16x11x5.5 inches). i'd probably use standard .50 cans (11x7x6) or .30 cans (10x7x3). a standard .50 can weighs about 5 pounds, the tall cans weigh around 8. my preference would be the WWII/1950s era side-opening cans.
i'm not that worried about weight - they'd be for my utility bike, after all. 36x16 gearing means you can haul quite a bit (albeit slowly). 5 pounds is nothing - i normally carry 30+ pounds of stuff at a time. and i can always flip the wheel over and use the 18t freewheel...
if i was really hardcore, i'd order a couple of the 81 mm mortar round cans - 22x13x5.5 inches, 17 lbs empty. i could carry the world! as long as it was relatively thin...
thanks for the input, folks!
These work quite well I've heard.
My experience with ammo cans is that they usually take more effort to open than they are worth. Still, they would be eye catching.
Some people are like a Slinky ... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.
effort? i mean, old Soviet Bloc cans have to be opened with a can opener - but they're single-use...
that sounds like a cool Idea I converted storm case to a pannier for winter works awsome
I was thinking of using one as a trunk rack
I ran ammo can panners on my Harley last year, they worked great for about 12K or so, then the bracketing I used started giving out. They are water tight, and they are hard to open at times, you will be lifting your bicycle off the ground to open them.
For my Bicycle I am thinking about the green canves "gas mask bags", they are supper cheap and would be easy to install on each side of a rear rack. Not waterproof, just light and cheap, guess it depends on what you want to carry.
That big plasic bucket looks pretty handy, I don't carry that much on my bike, but I do have a milk crate on my four wheeler, it works great for chainsaw gas and chain oil.
Working to dispel the common myth that all grown men that ride a bicycle are just drunks that cant afford a moped
I have to freely admit that some of us would have no idea why someone would need water Proof ammo cans?
Just tried some of the Cat Litter Bucket Panniers. Couldn't stop the rattling. Every bump sounded like a Bass Drum..
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.
Not quite ammo cans, but.... This picture was taken in the planning stages, I bolted the hooks solidly to the rack for my tour.
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.
May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. -Edward Abbey
Check out this article, not ammo cans but home brew heavy duty racks and pannier bags (from surplus). See the bags pictured near the bottom.

2008 Specialized Sequoia: Quattro SL, WalkyDog

yeah, i found that article in a Google search - he gets bonus points for the license plate fender. i've not made it to the Army/Navy store yet, so if i see a canvas pack i like at a good price, i may try that too.
I bolted one to my rear rack for awhile when I carried a lot of camera stuff, because they could be sealed against rain as well as locked. Worked as you'd expect, and since I only used the bike around a fairly flat town, the weight wasn't a problem.
Drawbacks: Weight, and even though I'm not much concerned about style, I didn't like the looks. When my daughter was about 8, she painted the olive drab box pink with yellow flowers. I'm not sure that was an improvement....
In these days of plastics stronger-than-steel, you can probably find a better way, but the ammo box will certainly work.
i knocked a rough prototype together this morning. when i get some time, i'll take a couple pictures.
i like it (except for cosmetics) - but i'm leaning towards using the tall .50 cans now. i can fit my school books in the tall cans and lock them - which would mean i'd not need to lug all my books to every class.
Just hope the bike don't get robbed.
The 50 cal ones weigh 5 pounds each and are pretty small. Given that they make no sense at all to my way of thinking. They aren't cheap enough for that to be their saving grace. If you used 4 of them they might hold your gear for touring, maybe. But they would weigh as much as the whole load most riders carry even when empty. Better to either do the kitty liter bucket thing or just buy some Nashbar or Performance waterproof panniers. If you watch the sales you can get the large ones on sale for $50 a pair and then use a webcoupon for another 10-20% off. The small ones are about $10 less and probably hold more than the 50 cal ammo cans.
This bike is waaaaay heavy duty and would be a nightmare riding any direction other than downhill. It appears to be a 1941 Western Flyer produced by Huffman. Those bikes weighed more than 60 lbs and were real a real huff-and-puff ride. The fact that this pic shows the bike without pedals is rather telling.
Anyway, the look of the ammo panniers is cool and appears to be functional

Tavares Represents UMass Men's Track & Field At Junior Nationals
July 6, 2014
EUGENE, Ore. - UMass men's track & field rising sophomore Paolo Tavares represented the Minutemen at the USA Track & Field Junior Outdoor Championships on Sunday, competing at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon.
Tavares ran the 3000m steeplechase and finished sixth with a time of 9-minutes, 31.57-seconds. The New Bedford, Mass., native's best time in the event this spring came at with a scoring performance the Atlantic 10 Championship (9:19.56). He also scored in the steeplechase at the New England Championship, as well.

I've had this question in the back of my mind for some time now, and I would like to hear input from others. Here in the 50+ Forum, we seem to pride ourselves on riding, on setting goals, on getting up off our duffs and being physical and active and accomplishing more -- sometimes far more -- than our peers who are content to lay on the couch, watch TV, and slowly but surely lose strength, flexibility, aerobic capacity, and so on.
When I arrived here last year, it wasn't long before someone had posted a challenge to Ride Your Age on your birthday. I was intimidated and anxious over that challenge, and for a while, I didn't even respond to that thread. I couldn't imagine ever riding 54 miles in a single day. Of course, I had just started back into the sport and had never riden more than 50 miles in a day in my life, and the last (and only) time was twenty five years ago.
As many of you know, I accomlished that goal and then some, doing my one and only metric century last October. There seemed to be a general consensus that the next logical step was to begin thinking about doing a century -- maybe two -- in 2006.
I find myself as daunted, anxious and intimidated by that goal as I was about Riding Your Age. Part of me would really like to do it, because it would be a point of pride that could never be taken away from me, and because it would far surpass anything I had ever imagined I could do.
But another part of me is asking, why? Is it THAT important? I find that the kind of riding I really enjoy, day in and day out, is the 10-25 mile rides, 3-5 times a week. And I find myself asking myself, "What would be so wrong with doing that kind of riding forever?" It will get me 2,500 - 3,000 miles a year, which seems like one helluva lot of miles and hours in the saddle.
Somehow the thought of training for a century is almost demotivating me, because, to be honest, it just doesn't strike me as much fun. Yes, a tough, demanding goal that would feel incredibly amazing to achieve, but -- do I really need to do that? And I'm now realizing that the concerns I have over this issue, the vacillation back and forth, has an impact on my daily riding. A voice keeps saying that if I'm to do a century, I must do more and more and more miles -- that my daily rides aren't enough. When I hear that, I stop having as much fun. Now it's a chore, an obligation, a 'commitment' that seems to spoil the spontaneity of my current rides.
So I guess I'm wondering -- should I just 'get over it,' train up and do the darn century, at least once, and then see how I feel? Or should I just let go of the century for a while, until and unless it starts to sound more compelling?
And last, am I the only one to go through these kinds of back-and-forths?

Gold and diamond jewellery worth over Rs 25 lakh was stolen from the house of a civil contractor in Malleswaram Tuesday evening when the family had gone out for a birthday party.
M A Kumar reportedly saw the burglars leaving his house, Kantha Nilaya, at around 9.30 pm. The police said the burglary took place between 7.30 pm and 9.30 pm.
The burglars entered the house on the 7th main and 9th cross through a back door. Kumar, who returned at around 9.30 pm, noticed movement inside the house but the burglars escaped even as he entered from the front door.
The police said one burglar ran past Kumar through the front door, while another escaped from the back door.
Anitha, wife of Kumar, returned home after she was informed of the incident to find gold jewels weighing 540 grams, a diamond necklace and two diamond earrings missing.
The family has sought time from the police to check and provide accurate details of the stolen property.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (north) Sandeep Patil said the burglars may be habitual offenders recently released from jail. Much of the cash and other jewellery in the house was saved as Kumar returned early from the party.
The burglars would have stolen all valuables had Kumar returned home a little later, the police said.
The north division police have formed a special team to crack the case.

If you're always swamped with work, overwhelmed and exhausted, try looking over your shoulder to count the number of 'monkeys on your back'. A term coined by time management guru William Oncken Jr, the proverbial 'monkey-on-the-back' is a syndrome that afflicts many team leaders and entrepreneurs. If you're a people-pleaser or not exactly up to scratch on man-management, you're likely taking on too much work from subordinates.
So the next time an employee approaches you with a problem and you're about to say, 'I'll look into it', you're allowing the monkey to leap from his back onto yours. In other words, your employee is 'reverse delegating' and work is flowing in the wrong direction – yours! And if you're in the habit of 'taking on too much', leaping monkeys will most definitely taking you down.
How to identify a leaping monkey
1. When you want to 'rescue' your employee and be the 'nice guy'
2. When you don't want to spend the time to guide your employee and find it simpler to just do it yourself.
3. When you want to show off your problem-solving skills
4. When you have control issues and don't trust your staff to work things out
Why the beast drains resources
Reverse delegation will leave you exhausted while your employees always seem to be waiting for 'approvals' and memos from you while twiddling their thumbs. This is literally a drain on finances as your man hour is much more expensive than theirs. When deadlines are missed, fingers invariably point at you since you had agreed to take on the job.
In a start-up, the results can be especially disastrous. Employees never take the initiative, stretch themselves or learn new skills because they know they are not accountable. This can come in the way of scaling up and taking that next big leap – because your employees are simply not equipped for it.
Shooing the monkey away takes courage
Reverse delegation can make you a bottleneck in your own organisation. Senior American politician Donald Rumsfeld famously said, "If a matter is not a decision for you, delegate it. Force responsibility down and out. Find problem areas, add structure and delegate. The pressure is to do the reverse. Resist it."
When an employee asks for help or seeks your opinion, a smart entrepreneur would dig a little deeper to assess the legitimacy of the request. Of course, you need to take into account the employee's experience, track record, qualifications, skills and enormity and scope of the issue at hand. This will help you decide whether to entertain the request or tell the employee to brainstorm and solve it himself.
How not to play passing the buck
1. Resist the temptation to give readymade solutions and offers of assistance. Teach employees how to fish, don't fish for them.
2. Ask the employee if he has tried to find a solution before coming to you.
3. Learn to say 'no'. Look at requests for help as an opportunity for learning for your employees.
4. Suggest that employees first try to find solutions among their peers before approaching you.
5. Instead of taking on the task or parts of it, coach employees to implement the solution that you discussed.
6. Be prepared for mistakes and makes yourself available for any guidance they may need.
When you allow too many monkeys to roost on your back, you're actually telling your staff that every little detail needs to be run by you first and that you do not trust them. It's not long before they will be throwing monkeys at you. Alternatively, empowering your employees will help you set the work flow right – and put the monkey back where it belongs.

As David Tepper Was Pitching A 20x P/E, He Was Selling (And Buying) These Stocks
On October 15, well into the fourth quarter, David Tepper appeared on CNBC for his semi-annual stock pumpfest, most memorable for his suggestion that a 20x P/E multiple on the S&P was perfectly acceptable. Which would suggest Tepper was very bullish on risk. Which would suggest buying more stocks, not selling. Yet selling is precisely what he did between September 30 and December 31 for the vast majority of his top holdings according to his just released 13F. So what did he sell or liquidate?
First, here are his biggest liquidations:
- US Airways ($178 million, 9.4MM shares)
- Dow Jones DIA ETF ($151 million, 1MM shares)
- Hertz ($33 million, 1.5MM shraes)
- Bank of America ($31 million, 2.2K shares)
- Sandisk ($25 million, 425K shares)
Just as notable is what he sold in part:
- Goodyear: sold 6.7MM shares
- United Continental: sold 2.5MM shares
- Qualcomm: sold 1.4MM shares
- Ford: sold 412K shares
- AIG: sold 254K shares
- Delta Airlines: sold 2.8MM shares
- MetLife: sold 1.6MM shares
- Hartford: sold 1.5MM shares
- Transocean: sold 890K shares
- Freeport McMoRan: sold 627K shares
- EMC: sold 517K shares
And so on - for the full list of companies that didn't quite buy the 20x P/E thesis see table below.
So what did he buy to offset all these sales? Here are his biggest additions and new positions
- American Airlines: New - 7MM shares
- Halliburton: New - 993K shares
- Eastman Chemical: New - 601K shares
- Google: added 92K shares, ironically after selling 20k shares in Q3
- HCA Holdings: added 528K shares
- Owens Corning: added 554K shares
- KBR: added 412K shares
However, most notable was the massive addition to his two top holdings: the SPY ETF, which he added $1.5 billion to and had $2.1 billion worth of SPY as of Dec. 31, and the Nasdaq QQQ ETF, which was a $765 billion position as Dec. 31. In other words, of Tepper's entire $8 billion disclosed long AUM, some 36% was in index tracking ETFs.
It may be a "stock-picker's market", but for Tepper it's all about blunt shotguns.
And finally, for those wondering what Tepper did with that flyer for $6.5 million or 737k shares in JCPenney from Q3 and which got hammered, he sold it.
Tepper's complete latest holdings are shown below, sorted by notional as of Sept 30. New positions in green.

When you sell as market MOVER you TELL OTHERS TO BUY ! 'Cos you be "the guy".
Zh sounds like it doesn't know how a scam is operated in the market.
How else does the "No Moral Hazard in this evergreen market" meme propagate????
"This market will never go down again" is now the Pax Americana mantra, and its cast in stone by the Neo cons and their NWO.
Why else does Cheney say "our way of life is non negotiable" and why else does Potus say "Yes i scan"?
Thats the price to pay to be hegemon.
David Tepper is Jewish no? Much like Carl Icahn, Dan Loeb, Bill Ackman, Larry Fink. Holy fuck the list goes on and on. If you listen to their advice, you deserve to lose your money.
Fleecing goyim is enthusiastically recommended in the Talmud. Apparently we're not fully human and deserve our fate.
yep, apparently so, according to Leader of the Israeli Sephardic community, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, founder of the Shas Party, part of the Likud coalition headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"Gentiles need to die….goyim have no place in the world." .....
"Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world, only to serve the people of Israel…Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap.
We will sit like effendi and eat!"
They can "tweet" their way to prosperity.
No need for expensive TV ads or time consuming appearances.
Just a simple "I'm meeting with Mr X tomorrow about a major purchase", a week after you bought a ton of Mr X's stock.
"Just met with Mr X and heard he's doing a big stock buyback".
Just a reminder all -
The Talmud is not part of the Bible. The Talmud was written by a bunch of elitist rabbi comentators and reflects "oral tradition" that rabbinical Judiasm thrives on today. The Talmud(s) also reads alot like the Koran.
Oy vey -it's Valentines Day!
-Have YOU schtupted your Muppets today?
yep, there he is. rigging republican elections
and shmoozing w/ his relatives
I am not Jewish. I do not like Ichan, Tepper, Kramer and most of the Jewish bosses I have had. Having said that, anti-Semetism has no place on this site,
Yes it does.
Causation is correlation.
Free Francis Sawyer!! (and Jon Corzine too).
Ten years ago I'd have fully agreed but it's abundantly clear that Jewish greed and groteque ethnic networking are destroying America. Of course not all Jews are in on it but more than enough are.
Here's an example of how most of them think. http://irishsavant.blogspot.ie/2014/02/my-righteous-jews-spreadsheet.html
Ant-semitism is an all-pupose charge whose sole objective is to close down discussion on jewish misdeeds.
I certainly agree with your last point. I was watching some old George Carlin video on youtube the other day.....He was ranting against "old white guys who own the country". He got a lot of laughs and applause. Imagine him ranting against the "jews who own the country".....his career would have ended that night.
The people he mentioned are not semetic. They are Ashkanazis.
This is what the banksters do - tell their clients to do one thing while the banksters do the opposite and have a view into their clients fucking themselves.
Is this the Friday we get the bank holiday?
I know the kids get a long weekend.
When the time comes, there won't be enough poles to hang all these bastards in the streets…
What a complete douche-bag.
If I picked stocks like JCP, I'd switch to index funds.
Free Francis Sawyer !!!!!
The Turd Tepper! what a smug piece of shit...and he gets 2 and 20 for buying and selling SPY's DIA's and QQQ's wtf?
The talking head guests always tell you what they want you to do, often after they have set up their own positions. It is a rule of financial news, blogs, newsletters, etc... The only exception is Gartman, who flip flops so much that you don't have time to do what he says before he switches back.
Those 'buys' have a theme.
did he sell
his Bitcoin...
WTF is David Topper?
Ok whoever wrote this story is just as bad at the mainstream media. Take a look at number one, HEBOUGHT 1.5 billion in the S&P500. Just because he sold out of some of his positions and had more sell TRANSACTIONS then buy that does not mean he isn't bullish. He bought more equities then he sold. I really hate that whoever posted this didn't take the time to look at his total holdings and if net he bought more then he sold in dollars. They cherry picked to make it look like he was lying, which he was not.
This is a sad sad day and makes me trust zerohedge, one place that I thought had some integrity less.
He sold about a billion and bought 2.7 billion, granted that is also some capital gains, but still it is clear that he BOUGHT way more then he sold. Thus was completely truthful in his bullish call. ZEROHEDGE SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO POST A PROPAGANDA STORY ATTEMPTING TO CHERRY PICK DATA TO SHOW INFORMATION IN A MISLEADING LIGHT.
i only wish i had a record like his...

Helping Out highlights some of the many charitable events and activities going on in the Charleston area. Submissions should be sent to email@example.com.
After two months of raising funds through its Kitchen Karma program, Sol Southwest Kitchen & Tequila Bar presented a check for $1,451 to local charity Camp Rise Above, which provides camp experiences to children with serious illnesses, disabilities and other challenges.
Since opening its doors less than a year ago, Sol has raised $6,900 for local organizations, including The First Tee of Greater Charleston, the Charleston Animal Society and Louie's Kids.
Sol's current Kitchen Karma partnership is with Happy Wheels at MUSC Children's Hospital. Happy Wheels volunteers visit hundreds of hospitalized children each week to bring them toys, books and other gifts. At Sol, $1 from every blueberry margarita and tuna lollipops appetizer sold through the end of August will be donated to Happy Wheels.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston is presenting the first Red Shoe Walk at 9 a.m. Oct. 25 in Hampton Park. Registration fee of $50 includes a pair of Ronald McDonald's signature big red shoes. Walkers will wear their big red shoes for a mile walk around Hampton Park.
Each participant is asked to raise $1,600 — the cost of running the Ronald McDonald House for one night — between now and Oct. 25.
Each night, 27 families of critically ill children stay at the Ronald McDonald House and an average of eight families are turned away because of a lack of space. This year, the Ronald McDonald House is expanding with five more bedrooms.

The possibility of an amnesty clause in the new CBA has brought much debate among fans over which player their respective team should choose to cut. For some franchises, this is a fairly simple question (i.e. Gilbert Arenas in Orlando), but for others it remains much more ambiguous.
As a life long Blazers fan, my mind immediately went to the one-time franchise cornerstone turned hobbled superstar, Brandon Roy. Let me first start by saying I am firmly in the " If there's an amnesty clause Portland absolutely has to use it on Brandon Roy's contract†camp. Brandon has no meniscus in either knee and if he remains ineffective (which seems likely), his contract becomes a real contender for the worst in the league. Furthermore, injured or aging star players are often the most difficult egos to manage. Roy was already beginning to show difficulties dealing with his ever shrinking role within in the offense last season, and the situation stands to get worse. The Blazers also have LaMarcus Aldridge, who was able to fill the void left by Roy last year, and appears on his way to becoming a franchise player. While the rationale behind cutting Roy remains sound, I can't help but feel dirty, uncomfortable, and extremely sad for being so willing to kick the man who saved this franchise to the curb.
Before Brandon Roy, The Portland TrailBlazers were struggling through an extremely tumultuous period. After nearly beating the Lakers in the 2000 Western Conference Finals, Bob Whitsitt proceeded to slowly decimate the roster, making ill-advised trade after ill-advised trade (leading to the often forgotten but simultaneously idiotic and awesome incident that was a fan getting kicked out of the arena for bringing a "Trade Whitsitt signâ€). What had once been one of the most loyal and passionate fan bases had become disgusted and disinterested with both management and players. The "Jail Blazers†moniker had re-emerged and the perceived lack of effort and interest only further aggravated everyone associated with the team.
Enter Brandon Roy. During his rookie season, Roy averaged 16.8 point per game, while also netting 4 assists and rebounds per contest. The Blazers still finished with a fairly disappointing record, but Roy had brought some life back to Portland; there was an electricity present in the Rose Garden that had previously been missing. Fans finally had something to get excited about, someone who gave us hope. It truly felt like we had found our hardwood savior.
The next few years served to confirm our first impressions. In his second season, Roy led the Blazers to a .500 record in an extremely competitive Western Conference. Then came that magical third season, the year in which nearly everyone considered Roy to be the third-best shooting guard in the league and possibly even a top-10 player in the NBA. Roy didn't dominate games in a conventional fashion. There was nothing physically awe-inspiring about him. His jump shot wasn't breathtakingly gorgeous, and his slow, methodical style wasn't as captivating as the torrid, slicing style of, say, Chris Paul.
What Roy did have was an incredible savvy for getting to the rim. His body control and dexterity were unmatched. More importantly, Roy never resigned himself to defeat. Even if he had been shut down for 3 quarters, Roy always figured out a way to put his imprint on the game. In Portland, fans developed this weird sense of inevitability, that in the fourth quarter of every close game, Roy would find a way to win.
I remember being at the now-famous Blazers-Rockets game early in the 2008-2009 season. Roy hadn't played well all game; Artest hounding him on every step, every cut, every dribble drive. After Yao Ming nailed an and-one jumper with 0.8 sec on the clock, a Houston victory seemed imminent. I was sitting at center court, a few rows back, probably no more than 20 or so feet from where the ball was being inbounded, I saw Roy break free, catch the ball and turn and shoot in one motion. As the ball left his hand and hung in the air I thought to myself "OH DEAR GOD, HE DID IT AGAIN. THAT IS GOING IN.†Sure enough, the ball dropped. The entire Rose Garden, myself included, lost our collective s**t. We all felt the same thing, like we were witnessing the beginning of a momentous shift. That after years toiling away in irrelevancy, Brandon Roy was going to turn this franchise into a formidable force.
With Roy, Aldridge, and Greg Oden, the Blazers looked to become a preeminent power in the Western Conference. Of course, for a few years it was Oden who served as the black sheep of the group. But ultimately, the same cruel fate that struck the promising center found a way to latch itself on to Roy. However, for Brandon, there seems to be a unique, perverse form of torture he endures. While Oden remains somewhat of an enigma, a giant, physically intimidating mass of unrealized potential, Roy was and is a known commodity. We saw him go toe to toe with the best in the league and triumph. We heard Ron Artest call him "the most difficult player to guard in the league.†Roy was able to taste success, drink from fountain of NBA superstardom, and then almost immediately, before he could even fully actualize his accomplishments, it all vanished.
Roy's career captures the same emotions and sentiments (at least from myself) as the careers of Tracy McGrady and Penny Hardaway. As children, and even as adults, (though some of us would be ashamed to admit it), we view these athletes as superhuman, as individuals who wield physical gifts and powers not bestowed upon us mere mortals. It's not that they defy the laws of physics or possibility, they altogether seem unaware of their existence, as if they were born without any conception of limitations. In many ways they embody the boundless potential of the individual we value so dearly. Thus, when injury strikes down these once dominant powers, and forces them to walk around on planet earth with the rest of human kind, our beautiful fantasy is shattered. Reality creeps in to painfully remind us that sometimes, fate, circumstance, luck, god whatever you'd like to call it, has a larger say then we choose to recognize.
I think ultimately, this is what makes my willingness to cut Brandon Roy so difficult. It lacks any kind of empathy or compassion. Yes, I know it's a business. I know the Blazers would be foolish not to get rid of his contract. Still, I can't help but feel everyone, Roy especially, deserves a lot better than this.

Cross Cultures: Share Thanksgiving with an International Student
Cross Cultures: Share Thanksgiving with an International Student
Meng Zhao (left) with assistant professor Courtney Marshall (second from left, back) and others at Marshalls' home Thanksgiving Day 2012. The English professor invited the students to share the November holiday with her.
Zainab Qari was a 19-year-old undergraduate the first time she sat down to a Thanksgiving dinner. It was 1988.
For Meng Zhao, it happened in 2012. He was 25 and had recently come to UNH from his home in China, seeking a master's degree in statistics.
Like Qari, who works in UNH's Office of International Students and Scholars, Zhao had been invited into the home of a faculty member for the Thanksgiving holiday.
"I had heard about Thanksgiving through movies and TV," the graduate student says. "I thought it would be like that."
And it was, to some extent. He watched football, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. They played games. And he ate turkey and pumpkin pie—something he had never done before—at the home of Courtney Marshall, assistant professor of English and women's studies. Marshall stepped up last year when Qari, new to her job as program and outreach coordinator at OISS, brought forward the idea of UNH employees taking in international students for the holiday.
Twenty-five years ago, Qari was studying art history at Suffolk University when the chair of the department asked her to join her family for Thanksgiving. That kind gesture created a tradition the women and their families still share today.
"She came to me and said, 'Instead of being here alone, we'd love to have you come to our house,' and I thought, 'Thanksgiving in an American home, wow,'" Qari says. "The only thing I remember is that I dressed very formally. And the table—it was very traditional, with candles and many silverware pieces."
Qari also remembers what it meant to be included. And to not spend the long weekend alone in her dorm. Inclusion is something she strives for on a regular basis with UNH's 700 international students.
"My job is to make sure they are not feeling homesick," Qari says. "I try to make sure they get familiar with campus and the area, and then have things to do on weekends and during breaks."
Having something to do isn't her only goal. In 2012, the OISS launched "Buddies without Borders," a program that matches international students with American students.
"We want them to get to know each other," Qari says. "It's not just a match to exchange languages, it's not just a speech partner. We want them to be friends."
Last year, 200 students were matched by hobbies and interests. So far this year, 90 American students have volunteered to buddy up with an international student. Zhao had a buddy his first year at UNH, when he lived at Babcock. Now he's in an apartment in Newmarket with two American students.
And that's where he will invite another international student to join him next month for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Qari will go back to Massachusetts. Until then, she'll be working to get UNH faculty and staff to host one or more of the hundreds of students who will be far from their home countries during the upcoming holiday.
OISS director Leila Paje-Manalo fully embraced the idea when Qari presented it last year, and helped to find the 15 employees who shared their holiday traditions with 35 international students. This year, they hope to increase that number.
"Some of the younger international students might be nervous the first time because they don't know anything about the holiday, or they're worried their English might not be good enough but it's a good experience," Zhao says.
If you are interested in hosting a student for Thanksgiving this year, you can sign up here. (Students seeking hosts can sign up here.) For more information, contact Qari at firstname.lastname@example.com.

HOLLYWOOD—This summer has indeed been a torturous season of CBS' reality hit "Big Brother," but it all culminated Wednesday night with the revelation of the winner who was none other than communications professor Andy Herren who had a total of 7 votes to Gina Marie's 2 votes. Andy won by a landslide which many people predicted.
The finale which boasted an extra 30 minutes and saw the return of the greatest BB player of all-time Dr. Will was a treat to watch. I'll be honest I was really watching the finale to see host Julie Chen address the houseguest about their vile behavior this season and the return of Dr. Will who has been M.I.A since "Big Brother: All-Stars."
Our final three houseguests were
The final round saw GM and Andy go head to head in a round of questions of how the jury members would answer certain questions. To see the jury go toe-to-toe with Dr. Will Kirby was quite epic to say the least. The excitement from Helen was speechless. Amanda was a bit stunned to see McCrae join the gang. Amanda didn't own up to her antics, Elissa did own up to behavior. Candace took issue with her hatred for Amanda and it was quite stunning to discover Aaryn and Candace to put behind their differences. It was unanimous that GM made a big move by getting Amanda out, but did nothing else beyond that point.
They admitted that Andy backstabbed everyone and give him credit for his tactic. Will pointed out that Spencer was nominated multiple times and didn't have any blood on his hands. Will even admitted that not getting blood on his hands is a great way to win the game. The jury members continued to speculate on the most decisive player. Great piece of advice, vote on the winner based how you choose to and not allow others to influence the final decision. In my opinion, the former BB great was a bit tame in his "˜grilling.'
The final HOH went to Andy who appeared to know the jury a lot more than GM. It was deserving in my opinion. You can tell GM isolated herself from the other jury members that she should have gotten to know better. Andy had to make a difficult decision in terms of who he would select to take to the final round to face the jury. Andy made his final decision to vote to evict Spencer from the "BB" house. Wow, that was a complete shock. Another backstab as we all should have expected from the "˜rat.' That means GM is at least getting $50,000 and I can't believe that.
The grilling of the final two by the jury was quite impressive to say the least. Amanda asked GM prior to joining "˜The Exterminators' what was her biggest move, and she didn't answer the question and fumbled quite a bit. It was quite a disaster to say the least.
The same question was asked to Andy who admitted his biggest move was joining Amanda and McCrae and reporting back to his power couple to make sure any threats were eliminated. McCrae asked Andy why he should win because he backstabbed all of the jury members. GM had to own up a bit to her actions and the deception that she played during the game, it was quite heartfelt. Andy admitted that he was actually a "˜coward.' Wow, that was amazing that he honestly admitted to his cowardly game play. He claimed to have loyalty, which I do not believe anyone in the jury bought.
Before the jury casts their vote GM and Andy spoke to the jury to make their final plea. GM speech was more about attempting to get the jury to see her for who she is versus how she played the game. Andy took the more strategic approach, using his mind to ensure that he was never a threat in the game. He took a bit too much credit for making big moves, which he really did not do in my opinion.
We were treated to see David, Nick, Jeremy, Kaitlin and Howard who discussed a bit about what transpired in the house. Amanda was a bit stunned that
The anticipation for who would win

The week runs from Monday to Sunday. Our out of town bowlers will need to send us their scores if they are not already on the internet. We will finalize a standing sheet not later than Wednesday following the Monday-Sunday week. The cost per bowler is $10.00 for $500.00 total plus Lucas Lanes will add $50.00 for $550.00 total.

Stanford, Calif. - Stanford women's lacrosse found out Wednesday morning that they were ranked in the IWLCA Top 20 rankings and went out hours later and defeated the Boston College Eagles 14-10 at Laird Q. Cagan stadium. The game was close throughout, and was keyed by another superb effort by All-American goalkeeper Laura Shane who recorded 17 saves in the victory. It pushed Shane's save percentage on the season to .569, which is even higher than her two previous season's in which she was an named an All-American.
For the second consecutive game goals were scored at a furious pace in the opening minutes with the teams combining for nine goals in the first eight minutes. Senior attack Daphne Patterson scored the first two goals for Stanford and sophomore Dana Lindsay and senior Megan McClain scored the next two to give the Cardinal a 4-2 lead. Golden Eagle midfielder Lauren Fitzpatrick scored a goal, but Lindsay added her second to keep the Cardinal lead at two goals.
Boston College refused to go away though by scoring the next two goals of the match, and the score was knotted at five after ten minutes of action. McClain and Lindsay continued to lead the Cardinal with another goal each and after 18 minutes of play, Stanford held a 7-5 lead.
After Boston College attacker scored the second of her team-leading four goals, Patterson added a third goal and sophomore Claire Hubbard added goals in the final two minutes of the first half, and Stanford went into the break with a 9-6 lead.
The second half proved to be much more of a defensive battle with only one goal scored in the first ten minutes of action, as compared with nine in the first half. After another Fitzpatrick goal, the game remained very close at 9-8. Stanford finally got on the board soon after with junior Maris Perlman's first goal of the season, but Boston College attack Lauren Costello responded quickly and the score was 10-9 with 18 minutes left to play.
The Cardinal tightened up down the stretch, not allowing a goal in the final nine minutes and scoring three of their own. Freshman Sarah Flynn continued her great rookie season with her eight goal of the year, and sophomore Amanda Schwab and redshirt sophomore Bess Siegfried added goals to contribute to the 14-10 final score.
The win kept Stanford a perfect 5-0 at home this season. The game was incredibly physical and plagued with penalties as Boston College committed 26 and Stanford committed 18 themselves. Shane's 17 saves tied a season-high after recording the same amount in last Sunday's upset over No. 10 Notre Dame.
Stanford will return to the field when they face No. 5 Penn on Sunday, Mar. 9 at Laird Q. Cagan stadium. The face-off will take place at 1:00 p.m. and it will be a chance to see the 2007 national runner-up in action.
