RZA Calls Wu-Tang Affiliate's Penis-Severing 'Mythical'
Clan boss: "I want to know what the fuck moved him to do those things."
There's been no shortage of weird Wu-Tang news lately, and now the Clan leader is weighing in on the strangest story making the rounds. On Wednesday, we reported that Andre "Christ Bearer" Johnson, a rapper affiliated with West Coast Killa Bees and one half of the duo Northstar, cut off his own penis and jumped off of a balcony. He survived, thankfully, but the RZA-discovered artist's actions leave more questions than answers. XXL posed a few of those to RZA.
The Wu god currently on Raekwon's shit-list weighed in on the incident, saying, "That shit sound mythical," before sharing his condolences and deeper thoughts:
I feel sad for his family first and foremost; I know he has children. I thought he was a smarter guy than a guy who would do something crazy like that. But at the same time, he been in jail recently, he's been in trouble. Maybe he's mentally unstable. Maybe the mental health system should have took a look at him and said, 'You know what? We got to hold on to this guy for a little longer.' Because it's not any sanity; even if you high, this shit don't sound sane. This sounds more than high. It sound like mental problems or something that was bothering this man's mind, and he needed help. It's sad.
RZA said Johnson had recently been released from jail, and attempted to call him upon release. He also confirmed the man's status as a onetime Wu disciple.
"If I remember that deal back in the day," he said, "I remember [Northstar] signed for, like, $150,000, a record deal from some young guys from Long Beach, Cali. He had a partner named Meko [the Pharaoh]. I liked those guys. I liked what they stood for, young guys trying. I can't wait to really hear the whole story. It's sad that it's Wu-Tang affiliated. It's like dirty press in a way. I want to know what the fuck moved him to do those things."
The Clan are currently planning two new full-length albums: A Better Tomorrow, which will see a standard release this summer (hopefully), and The Wu - Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, of which there will only be one copy made.

Disneyland® Park
Tweens, Teens, Adults
Sent to investigate what happened to an earlier expedition, you soon discover something is far from normal in the Temple of Peril. The base camp is deserted of people yet full of their clothes, food and equipment. A sudden exit seems likely. But why? Above the swaying canopies stands a temple ruin, below your feet is a well-trodden path.
As you meander your way through dense undergrowth, stone snake sculptures (yes snakes!) jump out and stare menacingly at you. A faint rumble and screaming can be heard in the distance. 'You're getting closer', whispers the breeze.
The Search Picks Up Speed
After clambering to the Temple of Peril entrance you board a railed vehicle, hoping it will lead you to the missing expedition party. The rickety cart climbs a chain lift to the top of the excavation site. You look for signs of life, but before you can catch your breath a mysterious force sends the cart into an out-of-control spiral of twists and turns through the darkest corners of this cursed ruin. Forget finding your friends, you're going to need all the courage of Indiana Jones to get out alive!
This online guide contains everything you need to know about accessing the Disney Parks, so you can plan your stay.

This book is excellent for understanding how to design a research project. The first chapter is a little hard to get through but the rest of the book is easy to read and understand.
Mar 15, 2012
John Creswell is an excellent author for the area of research design, as he knows the area well, he is capable of clear writing, which when combined with examples makes a sometimes difficult area,comprehensible. No doubt he will assist me in getting through the dissertation process.

This book is the bible of how to design your research, but it is definitely [in my opinion] not the book for a total beginner. As a second or third book about research design it is a must, but it is a little too compplex for someone with no knowledge or research.

Consumer Groups Seek to Block Google AdMob Deal
Consumer Watchdog and the Center for Digital Democracy claim Google is attempting to buy its way into the mobile advertising market and that this will lead to diminished competition for consumers.
Two consumer groups on Dec. 28 asked the Federal Trade Commission to block Google's proposed acquisition of AdMob on the grounds that the $750 million deal is anti-competitive and raises privacy concerns. Consumer Watchdog and the Center for Digital Democracy contended in a joint letter to the FTC that "Google is simply buying its way to dominance in the mobile advertising market, diminishing competition to the detriment of consumers," according to a news release.Unlike search advertising, where Google leads with about 90 percent of the market, there is no clear-cut leader in the mobile ad market. Based on IDC's tracking of mobile ad sales, Millennial Media has 18 percent of the market, followed by AdMob with 14 percent. Yahoo claims 11 percent of the market, followed by Google with 10 percent and Microsoft with 8 percent.
"The mobile sector is the next frontier of the digital revolution. Without vigorous competition and strong privacy guarantees this vital and growing segment of the online economy will be stifled," wrote John Simpson, consumer advocate at Consumer Watchdog, and CDD Executive Director Jeff Chester. "Consumers will face higher prices, less innovation and fewer choices. The FTC should conduct the appropriate investigation, block the proposed Google-AdMob deal and also address the privacy issues."
The letter follows a Dec. 23 confirmation by Google that the FTC has asked for more information about the deal. According to the Dec. 28 news release, Google said the FTC issued a "'second request' for additional information about the deal," which was announced Nov. 9 and scheduled to close in early 2010. The FTC's request for further information is a probable signal that the agency has concerns about the purchase.
"The proposed Google-AdMob deal offers the FTC an opportunity to check Google's increasingly anti-competitive behavior," Simpson said in a separate statement. "This deal is yet one more example of Google attempting to eliminate a threat to its power."
Consumer Watchdog and CDD also questioned the privacy implications of the deal. "Both AdMob and Google gather tremendous amounts of data about consumers' online behavior, including their location. AdMob, for example, targets consumers using a wide range of methods ... Google also provides mobile advertising and data-driven analytical services through its DoubleClick subsidiary," the news release said. The two consumer groups claim a deal between Google and AdMob "would provide significant amounts of data for tracking, profiling and targeting U.S. mobile consumers."

With winter and snow bearing down on us, the Highway Department requests that if you regularly park your car on a town road, it be moved in the event of a snowstorm prior to the roads needing to be plowed.
This small act wll help keep the roads safe for everyone all winter. Thank you for your assistance.
Stuyvesant is located in the northwest corner of Columbia County on the eastern bank of the Hudson River. It is bordered by Rensselaer County to the north, the Town of Kinderhook to the east, and the Town of Stockport to the south.
A town of approximately 2,300 people, Stuyvesant is an agricultural community dotted with single family residences and small businesses. The predominance of farming within the community has left its rural character much the same as it's been for over the last 100 years. Stuyvesant's bucolic landscape belies the fact that it is located less than 20 miles south of the state capital of Albany, New York. Centrally located in the state and the region, the town is approximately two and a half hours from both New York City and Boston.
Supervisors Report President's Day
Lincoln Funeral Train Events
While our Highway department staff has been working overtime keeping our Town roads cleared, and those who have not traveled south are just trying to keep warm, we have had a very active group of volunteers meeting and planning events to commemorate some important American History. The Lincoln Funeral Train Committee has grown out our Town's Railroad Restoration Committee and now includes the City of Hudson, and other communities.
This Register Star article sums it up well-----
HUDSON— President's Day was celebrated Monday by U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-19, when he announced plans have been made to honor President Abraham Lincoln in Columbia County in the spring.
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's death on April 15, 1865, local events will be held in Stuyvesant and Hudson in the coming months.
Thu Mar 05 @ 7:00PM - Jack McEneny --Lincoln's Final Journey |
Sat Mar 07 @ 9:00AM - Recreation Committee |
Thu Mar 12 @ 7:00PM - Town Board Meeting |

Asset Allocation Best Practices Change During Your Lifetime
There are best practices everyone should adhere to when allocating investments. Many people just starting out are resistant to setting aside anything - their belief is that they'll make more money later and that they can't spare a dime right now. Often paying off student loans and setting up a new life are looming overhead.
The easiest way to begin is if your company is offering a 401(k) program. You can have as little as 1% automatically deducted from your paycheck and increase it by 1% every few months and see your returns and savings grow. It's a small amount but a huge investment in your future and absolutely worth it. Many companies also match your 401(k) investment (read: free money). When you're young and just starting to invest, you have time on your side and you can afford to have your asset allocation on the riskier side. If there are drastic market declines like we have seen twice in the past 12 years, you still have time to recover from those declines and benefit in being invested for the long run. When you're older and eyeing retirement, you should take less risk with your investments. Over the past 12 years many people near retirement learned the hard way when the value of their retirement account(s) drastically declined. Perhaps they'd stayed in riskier investments such as stocks because they'd either seen strong returns or unfortunately, were not proactive enough to move to safer investments when their assets needed to be moved into more conservative holdings. Because of the declines in the market, they were unable to retire when planned. Market declines combined with very low CD rates and savings account rates made it impossible for many people to retire. The best savings rates and bank CD rates are around 1.00 percent these days, below the rate of inflation. There are many tools available to you to help you with your asset allocation during your lifetime. There are also age-based asset allocation models and most of them recommend higher exposure to stocks and mutual funds earlier in life. Oppenheimer Funds offer a very useful Asset Allocation Worksheet you can use to help you decide how to allocate your investment portfolio. You're asked a series of questions including your investment objectives, what types of investments you currently have, your investment risk tolerance, your investment time frame, as well as a few more questions. After you submit your questionnaire you are immediately given your results based on your answers. You can use this worksheet as a guide for your investments or discuss the results with your financial adviser. There are also asset allocation calculators available that work in a similar way as the spreadsheet. Bankrate offers a useful Asset Allocation Retirement Calculator. The key to a successfully planned retirement is to plan for retirement now. The sooner you start, the closer you will be to meeting your retirement goals. Starting is half the battle - you have to proactively stay on top of your retirement accounts. Checking on investment returns and making sure you're on track for the retirement you want at the age you want is how to stay the course for a comfortable retirement. |

Microsoft Android Licensing Roll Continues With Wistron
Microsoft Android Licensing Roll Continues With Wistron
Nicholas Kolakowski
Posted 2011-07-05
Microsoft continued its recent streak of Android licensing agreements with Wistron, a small manufacturer that uses the software platform.
Microsoft has entered into yet another patent-licensing agreement with an Android device manufacturer, this time with Wistron, which crafts tablets and other devices. Under the terms of the agreement, Wistron will pay Microsoft undisclosed royalties for its patents in use. "Our Wistron deal today makes for four Android patent license agreements in nine days," Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel,
tweeted on July 5
. "No need to calculate pi to figure that one out."
Google, which developed Android,
supposedly bid $3.14159 billion
-the first few digits of Pi-for the Nortel wireless and mobile patents eventually seized by a consortium of rivals including Microsoft.
Last week, Microsoft entered into Android patent-licensing agreements with three smaller manufacturers: Onkyo, Velocity Micro and General Dynamics Itronix. Microsoft claims the Android platform infringes on a number of Microsoft-held patents. For several quarters, Microsoft has pursued a stark strategy with regard to manufacturers of Android devices such as smartphones and tablets: Pay royalties, or face a patent-infringement lawsuit. Some companies have chosen to embrace the royalty agreement option. In April 2010, HTC announced that it had agreed to pay Microsoft in exchange for the use of "patented technology" in its Android-powered smartphones. In the wake of that, rumors circulated that Microsoft was actively seeking similar arrangements with other unnamed companies. However, other Android manufacturers have been willing to put up a fight. Motorola has retaliated to a Microsoft patent-infringement suit with an intellectual-property complaint of its own. And Barnes & Noble, whose Nook e-reader uses Android, filed a countersuit against Microsoft after the latter sued it for patent infringement.
The bookseller's counterclaim,
filed April 25
with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle, described Microsoft as repeatedly arguing that its patent portfolio would "entirely preclude the use of Android Operating System by the Nook," and mentions that both HTC and Amazon have entered into patent-licensing deals with Redmond. "Microsoft is misusing these patents as part of a scheme to try to eliminate or marginalize the competition to its own Windows Phone 7 mobile device operating system posed by the open source Android operating system and other open source operating systems," it read at one point. "Microsoft's conduct directly harms both competition for and consumers of eReaders, smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile electronic devices, and renders Microsoft's patents unenforceable." Despite Microsoft's recent string of victories over Android licensing, the company still faces an uphill battle against the platform in the smartphone arena, where its own Windows Phone trails devices running Android by a substantial customer margin.

Hey, looking to get involved with a team this season. Didn't take season 2 terribly seriously and wound up around 1580. Was wondering if any Platinum level players would be willing to play a few games with me. I think I can operate pretty well at that level. Msg me in-game if you're interested in going a few rounds. I play adc and mid, primarily, but adapt pretty well to all roles.

Apple to open first retail store in Turkey in January 2014
As it stands today, there are 416 Apple retail stores around the world spread out across 13 countries. Soon, that number will be 14 with word that Turkey will be graced with its first Apple retail store in just a few months.
Set to open up at the Zorlu Center in Istanbul in January of 2014, the retail space will be 2,000 square meters which equates to about 21,000 square feet. The retail space will be located in the "most visible" portion of the shopping space and will be lodged between two other high-end retailers: Burberry and Louis Vuitton.
News of the impending Apple store in Instanbul first appeared in The Wall Street Journal early on Thursday and was spotted by MacRumors.
As for the store design, the WSJ relays that the store will feature a glass ceiling and will be "one of the most ambitious in the world." The report also claims that Apple has plans to open three more retail stores across the country.
It's no secret that Apple has billions of dollars in the bank, and Tim Cook explained back in February that one of the ways Apple plans to spend it is to revamp its current retail stores and to open up new stores across the globe.

What ions do we need that are not sufficient? I was under the impression it was only Calcium and that there was sufficient Magnesium in malt and we don't really need any of the others other than trace amounts of some; such as zinc. Are there no trace amounts of zinc in malt? In any case, if 100% RO plus Calcium is not sufficient; 90% RO plus 10% tap water plus Calcium should be. The implication in the water primer sticky is; "get everything really low, then add some Calcium back in". Usually the 'get everything really low' is a byproduct of reducing alkalinity but the only addition is Calcium (chloride or sulphate but not carbonate).
I wanted to add that not all RO water is equal. There are cheap, single stage RO systems and there are spendy, multi-stage systems. 'real' RO water is so stripped of minerals it actually does a poor job of supporting life. Many of the 'grocery store' RO water units don't have frequent filter changes, and thus won't be truly pure. Not saying the water is bad, but it probably isn't the ultra pure 'true RO/DI' water that needs to be reconstituted with some minerals and buffers.
OK, I know I'll feel stupid after getting an answer, because it's probably so easy it's ridiculous, but... I know what DI water is, but WTF is 'RO' water? I deal with flipping acronyms all day and just cant muster the brain power to figure out RO right now! Or maybe its this delicious Drop Top clone I brewed 4 weeks ago that I'm now drinking!
Sorry, water treatment is my professional business and reverse osmosis (RO) water is never completely devoid of all ions. The rejection ratio of RO membranes vary based on their intended usage and the type of ions in the raw water. Since RO membranes have tiny pores that limit the passage of ions that are larger than the pore diameter, the larger the ion the better it is rejected from the product water. It turns out that monovalent ions such as sodium, potassium, chloride are smaller in diameter and they pass through the membrane into the product water at a higher rate than the larger divalent ions such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfate. The concentration of ions that make through the membrane into the product water is proportional to the concentration in the raw water. So if you have a bunch of calcium or sodium in your raw water, you will end up with some of those ions in the product water. In the large municipal and industrial systems I deal with, they do have multiple membrane stages so that you do end up with much lower ion concentrations in the product water. Fortunately for most home systems, they are single stage membranes that typically reject 90 to 98 percent of the ions from the raw water.

Michelle Williams at Comic-Con Pictures
Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis Team Up to Talk Oz at Comic-Con
Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis teamed up yesterday for a panel promoting their Oz: The Great and Powerful at Comic-Con. They're in San Diego along with the picture's director, Sam Raimi, to discuss their Wizard of Oz adaptation before it hits theaters next March. Michelle wore a printed Giulietta for the occasion, while Mila paired a Theyskens' Theory jacket with a Rag & Bone shirt.
After posing for pictures, the trio took the stage to speak about their project. In particular, Michelle talked about her experience with Sam. She said, "I've never made such a big movie before. I didn't know what it was going to be like. I didn't know if the things that concern me, Sam would have time for, or patience for. Not only did he have time and patience in the beginning when we were rehearsing, he had patience for them on the 17th hour of the sixth day. For me it was a very holistic experience; it was a real melding of my work life and my personal life. My film family and my real family." Make sure to check out what else Mila, Michelle, and Sam said at the Oz: The Great and Powerful Comic-Con panel — including what Michelle says about a Dawson's Creek reunion!

On December 31, 2014, the Court of Appeal for the Second District of California held in an unpublished opinion that employers are not required to relieve employees of all duty during rest periods mandated by California state law. In so holding, the court in Augustus v. ABM Sec. Servs., Inc., No. B243788, 2014 WL 7463154 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 31, 2014), reversed the trial court's award of approximately $90 million dollars in statutory damages, interest, penalties, and attorneys' fees to the employees.

Medical Marijuana Cards: A New Scarlet Letter? First-of-its-Kind Lawsuit in Rhode Island Claims that Employer Discriminated on Basis of Medical Marijuana Cardholder Status
A Rhode Island graduate student has filed a lawsuit against a textile company, alleging that it discriminated against her because she used medical marijuana. The complaint, filed by the local ACLU chapter on behalf of University of Rhode Island student Christine Callaghan, alleges that Darlington Fabrics Corporation rescinded a paid internship offer because Callaghan was a registered medical marijuana cardholder. According to the complaint, it appeared that Callaghan was going to be given the internship until, during a meeting with a Darlington HR representative, Callaghan disclosed that she suffered from migraines and used medical marijuana to treat her condition—but that she would not bring marijuana with her onto the premises or show up for work after having taken marijuana. A few days after the meeting, the representative contacted Callaghan and told her that Darlington would not be offering her the internship because of her status as a medical marijuana patient. The suit is believed to be the first to invoke the anti-discrimination provisions of Rhode Island's medical marijuana law. Under the law, schools, employers, and landlords may not "refuse to enroll, employ, or lease to, or otherwise penalize, a person solely for his or her status as a cardholder." G.L. § 21-28.6-4(c).
Extra! Extra! Read All About It: California Supreme Court Affirms Reversal of Class Certification Denial for Class of Newspaper Carriers
The California Supreme Court in Ayala v. Antelope Valley Newspapers, Inc. recently affirmed and remanded the reversal of a denial of class certification in an independent contractor misclassification case, emphasizing the standard terms of the contractual agreements between the parties. The plaintiffs were newspaper carriers for the defendant newspaper publisher who were contracted pursuant to two preprinted standard form contracts. Based on the theory that they were misclassified as independent contractors, plaintiffs alleged overtime, meal and rest break violations, and sought reimbursement for expenses and penalties.

A 40 Hour per Week Volunteer? Second Circuit Says Yes
For forty hours, five days a week, for three years, Jayquan Brown provided services to New York City Department of Education's Banana Kelly High School. Brown, who was a graduate of the school, was unable to secure a paid job after graduation and began an unpaid "volunteer internship" with the school. In that role, Brown assisted with student conflict resolution, lunch supervision, detention, parent contact, student escort, answered the telephone and handed out report cards and progress reports. He testified that he accepted the position with the goals of building his resume, modeling himself after one of his mentors—the school's director of student life, and helping "show the kids that we do care."

Ending in a Draw: In Iskanian v. CLS Transportation, the California Supreme Court Upholds Class Action Waivers in Arbitration Agreements, But Also Makes PAGA Claims Unwaivable
Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, California employers hoped this day would come. In a predictable result, the California Supreme Court today acknowledged that class action waivers in employment arbitration agreements are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). In so doing, the Court overruled its 2007 decision in Gentry v. Superior Court which effectively had barred class action waivers for wage and hour cases. But the Court's 6-1 plurality decision also bolstered an alternate method for bringing Labor Code claims in court by declaring that actions brought under the Private Attorneys General Act (Labor Code § 2968 et seq.) are not waivable by private agreement and thus not subject to compelled arbitration.

Home Sweet Home: 6th Circuit Rules that Showing up for Work is not Required
Changes in telecommuting practices may be around the corner for many employers, as the recent 2-1 decision in EEOC v. Ford Motor Co., 2014 FED App. 0082P (6th Cir. 2014) may usher in significant changes in what constitutes a reasonable accommodation for an employee with a disability under the ADA. According to the Sixth Circuit, given the advances in technology, employers need to be more open to telecommuting arrangements and cannot assume that coming to work is always an essential job function. But the U.S. Chamber of Commerce warns—in an amicus brief filed in early June—that these changes may have a "devastating" effect on employers by allowing employees to choose "where and when" they want to work.

Secretly Working Off The Clock—You Don't Get Paid For That!
Following principles that federal courts have applied in similar cases under the Fair Labor Standards Act, a California appellate court recently confirmed that employers are not liable under the California Labor Code for off-the-clock work that occurs without the employer's actual or constructive knowledge. In Jong v. Kaiser Found.

disadvantaged groups, but several studies have found that even the most advantaged Americans may be faring worse than their counterparts in other countries. In comparisons with England and some other countries, Americans with healthy behaviors or those who are white, insured, college-educated, or in upper-income brackets are in worse health than similar groups in other countries.
The United States enjoys some health advantages, including a suicide rate that is at or below the OECD average, low cancer mortality rates, and possibly greater control of blood pressure and serum lipids. And despite objective measures to the contrary, American adults are more likely than others to rate their health as good.
The disappointing U.S. rankings across the life course suggest the existence of "tracking" between early life behaviors and risk factors: that is, patterns related to obesity, self-reported diabetes, and mental disorders appear to carry forward into successive age groups. Furthermore, the conditions that affect one generation may affect the next, as when poor maternal health or adolescent pregnancy leads to low-birth-weight newborns and infant mortality. Current research is attempting to delineate and quantify the interaction variables in these relationships (see, e.g., Gavin et al., 2011). Although statistical associations may represent an artifact of the available data, a more likely explanation is that they reflect the influence of common underlying conditions on all stages of the life course or causal connections across ages.
The health disadvantages that exist in the United States relative to other countries are all the more remarkable given the size and relative wealth of the U.S. economy and the nation's enormous spending on health care. National health expenditures in the United States have grown from an annual $256 billion (9.2 percent of gross domestic product [GDP]) in 1980 to $2.6 trillion (17.9 percent of GDP) in 2010 (Martin et al., 2012). No other country in the world spends as much on health care, and per capita spending on health care is also much higher in the United States than in any other country (Squires, 2011).
Although this report focuses on health and not economics, it bears noting that the health disadvantage of the United States does have implications for other domains, such as the economy and national security. For example, military and national security experts have warned that rising rates of obesity and illness in young adults are making it harder to recruit healthy soldiers (Cawley and Maclean, 2010). Major corporations are also concerned about the effects of obesity on workforce productivity and competitiveness in the international marketplace (see, e.g., Heinen, 2006).
The economic costs of higher rates of illness and premature death may be substantial. As LaVeist and colleagues (2009, p. 2) explain:

I visited Kinloch House with friends, and was impressed by the warm welcome we were given, and the excellent menu and service.
On the basis of this visit, I booked again, for different friends, and this time it was very different.
No greeting at the door, in fact we had to go searching to find anyone, and the lady we contacted didn't seem to understand that we had a reservation. We were show into the lounge, but again, no warmth from the lady who took our order. The Hungarian waiter was very polite and friendly, and the meal itself was very good, but these little touches which were missing are very important in making you feel comfortable. We took coffee in the conservatory, but we're surprised to see wallpaper coming off the walls. For such a recommended Hotel I wouldn't expect this, especially as I was with very discerning friends.

If so.... how long do you plan to hold? Do you have an exit strategy in mind? Thank you in advance.
I'm a little late to the reunion...but its nice to see so many names from the GGWPQ days! Stil holding all my GGP shares as well as #$%$. Love the income. Regrettably sold ~80% of my HHC stock much too early. Regardless...we did really well!
I have 20,000 shares in my roth IRA... average price 76 cents. Planning to keep for the long term. I did dabble in market timing recently. Sold 10,000 at 23.27, chart started to look to exponential. Figured I would buy shares back after they dropped a bit and invest the difference in something else. I got nervous and lost my patience after it sat a few weeks at 22 something, so I bought back in at 22.80 or so, profiting a measly $3500. Then it dropped more than 10 percent, like I was expecting in the first place... oh well.
Sentiment: Hold
I'm the poor guy that could only afford 30 at the time. Yes THREE ZERO. However,majority of the older timers taught me a lot through the intensive pro and con dialogues exchanges and I gambled with that information and over the course of a year later I had over 300 shares. I sold some of my last purchases to get my funds back + some as a major purchase but still I have my original 30 + over 170 additional remaining.prior to the spinnoff. The question is when do we get out? I don't know either but seeing how #$%$ is gaining on GGP I've been pondering getting out. Be that as it may all of us have benefited well especially through the spin-off which made a lot of you richer and made me smile knowing I was in the right place at the right time. Not rich but I like my results.
still have some sold most,,,in at 50 cents out at over 20.00
Sold most of may shares, but holding onto a few to bequeath to my children, along with the story as to how I was, and always will be, GGPWISE
Hey if it isn't a freaking blast from the past. How the heck are you GGPWISE. I am still holding and enjoying the ride up too. You know why? It is because I have learned to be GGPWISE from the best...
I bought in about 1 month before they filed for BK... so averaged out around $.56/share... Didn't invest as much as I would have liked at the time, but still holding onto 10k shares now. I sold off all the "spin offs" as well... Good tip from a co-worker buddy of mine :) Incidentally, why do we think it's been dropping for the last couple of weeks?
why did you sell spinoffs--they have been great
lol...bought 180,000 shares averaged at .56 (bought from .85 down to .25) sold whole position at 1.40... still kicking myself everyday.
Wow! I will think of you to console myself for reneging on mental commitments to buy NFLX at $55 and TSLA at $32 within the past year. Thankfully, I followed through on GGP in 2009. Easy come, easy go, eh?
still here..............have sold only a minor portion. HHC and #$%$ still looking nice. Bot a good size in GPT as it will soon declare dividend and has solid mgmt
My weighted average is about $.53, and I sold off the "spin off" shares a while back. Then "gifted" a quarter of my original investment at around $19 to satisfy a philanthropic obligation... Sadly, I have no specific thoughts about how or when to sell the rest...For now it is nice having a +1500% return to look at in the portfolio...
Hi Pink! Still here and I plan to hold the remainder of my shares for a long, long time, as a core position. I did sell some very recently, thinning my holdings down to a core position. I own core positions in many other REITs in different REIT sectors as well, but GGP, given its run from the dog days of the spring of 2009, has been the best and therefore occupied a larger percentage of my portfolio than I would have liked. Additionally, there are other significantly higher dividend yields than the current dividend yield of GGP, and I am planning to roll GGP sale proceeds into higher dividend dollars in other companies when we have the next substantial market selloff. Best of luck to you! And keep posting to let us know you are still involved in GGP. Dabqs
Hi dabqs, care to share what are the other promising stocks which provide significantly higher dividend yields? may have to relook at my GGP porfolio if the stock price remains stagnant for the next 6 mths. cheers

Preseason countdown: No. 13 OK State
Fine, so Oklahoma State technically get to print up 2010 Big 12 South Champions T-shirts. Now it's time to actually win something.
Oklahoma ended up winning the Big 12 title last season, raining on what was one of the most successful seasons in Oklahoma State football history. (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M finished in a three-way tie atop the division at 6-2, but the Sooners got the nod to go to the conference championship game.)
Now there's no excuse for Oklahoma State not to win the whole shooting match. And that means the BCS Championship Game, not just the Big 12 title.
Oklahoma State
- Head coach: Mike Gundy (seventh season)
- Letterwinners returning: 37 | Lost: 16
- 2011 schedule | Team page | Scout.com
- OK State offense | Defense | Depth chart
- FS Southwest: Full Cowboys coverage
- Latest CFB updates: CFN | Scout | YB
The Cowboys lost two games last year. One was to a Nebraska team that's off the schedule and in the Big Ten, and the other was against Oklahoma.
This year's Bedlam showdown — again — is in Stillwater. Oh, sure, going on the road to face Texas A&M and Texas might seem daunting, and going to Texas Tech should produce a shootout. But if everything goes as planned, this really and truly should be one of the best teams in the nation, and it really and truly should be good enough to bomb away anyone and everyone on the slate
How good was the Oklahoma State offense? It hung up 41 points in each of the two losses. How good will the offense be? Just about everyone is back from an attack that averaged 520 yards and 44 points per game.
Out of all the big question marks throughout the college football world, one of the biggest might be about the new offensive coordinator. Dana Holgorsen, the mastermind who helped make an already great offense special, is now the head coach at West Virginia. Successor Todd Monken has to show that he isn't going to screw around with what worked. With the talent returning, though, anyone could be the offensive coordinator and the big numbers would still come.
Quarterback Brandon Weeden is on the Chris Weinke plan, using his leadership and his 27-year-old maturity to be the ring leader and triggerman for the high-octane attack, and he'll have 10 days to throw with all five starters returning up front.
Running back Kendall Hunter is gone, but the receiving corps will be among the best in America with Biletnikoff winner Justin Blackmon leading a devastatingly athletic group. Of course, the fireworks weren't a problem last year and the Cowboys didn't win anything.
Texas is going to come roaring back sooner than later. The program has too much talent, too much money and too much exposure thanks to its new network to not be the Big 12's signature star. Texas A&M might be loaded with veterans, Missouri is better than you think, and Oklahoma might be the No. 1 team in America, despite the loss of linebacker Travis Lewis. But no one will have the firepower that Oklahoma State brings. Just like 2008 Oklahoma outbombed everyone and everything in its path on the way to the BCS Championship Game, Oklahoma State might do the same.
The special teams should continue to be outstanding if star punter Quinn Sharp can handle the place-kicking duties, and the defense will be great if all the top athletes can do just enough to keep offenses from going ballistic. But this season is all about offense, offense, offense.
Auburn was able to get from out of Alabama's shadow with its epic 2010 national championship season, and now it's time for Oklahoma State to push aside the big brother down the road and be in the hunt for the national title.
And if the team finally gets a Big 12 title along the way, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

What to watch for on offense: The running backs. All five starters are back up front, and there's talent waiting in the wings. Weeden was hardly touched last year, and now he'll be one of the nation's most productive passers with Blackmon and one of college football's best receiving corps to throw to. Can the running game continue to rock with Hunter gone? He leaves with 4,181 career rushing yards and 37 touchdowns, and now it's up to Joseph Randle and Jeremy Smith to provide the punch early on to take the heat off of Weeden. Monken spent last year coaching the Jacksonville Jaguars' receivers, and he'll make sure the passing game rocks, but he needs to hand the ball off, too.
What to watch for on defense: The linebackers. With the offense Oklahoma State has, all the defense has to do is get off the field on a regular basis, and that means the linebackers have to come up with key stops. Orie Lemon cleaned up everything that came his way, and a lot of big plays that didn't, with 133 tackles, 2.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss. It was his linebacking corps and he dominated at times, but now he's gone, as are the team's top defensive tackles. Someone has to make things happen up the middle. Caleb Lavey is a great-looking prospect for the middle job, but he's relatively unproven and it's asking a lot for him to be Lemon right away. Shaun Lewis is a burgeoning all-star on one side, but LeRon Furr has to be all over the field from the weakside.
The team will be far better if: It can keep teams under 40 points. That doesn't seem like a lot to ask for; the offense should crank out six touchdowns on a regular basis. The problem is that the defense, while athletic, will have its normal lapses of production and will give up big numbers here and there. While almost everyone has a bad record when allowing 40 points or more, even with the devastating offense to keep up in any shootout, Oklahoma State was 0-2 last year when allowing 40 points or more, and it's 0 for 9 going back to a 49-45 win over Texas Tech in 2007. Over that same span, the Cowboys are 36-5 when they give up 39 points or fewer.
The schedule: The Cowboys have one game against Louisiana-Lafayette to tune up for Arizona in what might be a fun shootout, and a trip down the road to Tulsa will be a firefight that should produce 100 points. The hope will be for the team to be battle-hardened enough to handle a huge Big 12 opener at Texas A&M before getting a week off. Getting four Big 12 road games in six weeks is bad, and playing at Texas, Missouri, and Texas Tech, not to mention the earlier battle with the Aggies, isn't fair. Although the Oklahoma rivalry is in Stillwater, the Cowboys will be coming off of road trips to Lubbock and Iowa State.
Best offensive player: Blackmon. Is it possible for Blackmon to possibly improve on his 2010 season? No, but he has the quarterback in place and the help around him to be unstoppable once again. Big, strong, and tough, he was always open and always found ways to make plays in a frighteningly consistent season. Even with the 20 catches for 260 yards and two scores in 2009, he showed the acrobatic ability and the upside to potentially be great, but no one saw 111 catches for 1,782 yards and 20 touchdowns, with more than 100 yards and a score in every game.
Best defensive player: Senior strong safety Markelle Martin. Lewis might be close, and a pass rusher such as Richetti Jones or Jamie Blatnick could be the playmaker, but Martin is the leader and the star of the ultra-athletic defense. At 6-foot-1 and 192 pounds, he has good size to go along with 4.4 speed and guided-missile hitting ability. After coming up with 55 tackles with three picks, including a 62-yard score against Arizona, he's ready to make more noise on a national scale. Don't be shocked if he's on the All-America short lists.
Key player to a successful season: Offensive coordinator Monken. Middle linebacker Caleb Lavey has to come up with a big year, and tackles Christian Littlehead and Nigel Nicholas have to shine, but no one will have more pressure on his shoulders, and no one has to do more, than Monken. He has to try to keep the machine from slowing down. With all the talent that's returning, if there are problems with this year's offense, it will be blamed on Monken. He spent the past three years coaching receivers for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he handled the passing game at LSU for a few years and was a part of the offensive coaching mix under Les Miles at Oklahoma State. Now, Monken has to be not only good, but he has to make the right calls for an offense that has the talent to be among the top three in America.
The season will be a success if: Oklahoma State wins the Big 12 title. It's actually harder now to win a championship with a nine-game conference slate instead of needing to win just a six-game division to play for the title, but the Cowboys are talented enough to pull it off. Getting through the season unscathed will be next to impossible with road games at Texas A&M and Texas, not to mention the home game against the Sooners, but 11-1 and a BCS appearance is attainable.
Key game: Dec. 3 vs. Oklahoma. There might be a sense that Oklahoma State has hung tough with the Sooners over the years, mainly because of high-profile upsets in 2001 and '02, but it has been a while since the rivalry tipped toward the Stillwater side. Since shocking Oklahoma with a 38-28 win in 2002, Oklahoma State has lost eight straight and has been bombed on time and again. Beating Texas A&M in College Station would be big, and getting by Texas in Austin is always something to get fired up about, but if Oklahoma State finally wants to come up with a Big 12 title, it needs to put a halt to the losses to the Sooners. Played on Dec. 3, it will be right up there with several other conference title games.
