UPDATE: Local Bishop Responds to Pope's Resignation
By: Channing Barker
Updated: February 11, 2013
LITTLE ROCK-- Local Bishop resonds to Pope's sudden resignation. Read full statements from Bishop and a local church below:
"Diocese of Little Rock
Office of the Bishop
2500 N. Tyler St. / Little Rock AR 72207
501-664-0340 / fax 501-664-1310
For Immediate Release Contact: Dennis Lee
February 11, 2013 Chancellor for Administrative Affairs
Statement from Bishop Anthony B. Taylor
Regarding the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI
Although I am saddened by today's news of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI for the reason of the enfeeblement of old age, I note that this is one more example of Pope Benedict's profound humility and love for the Church which he has evidenced so clearly throughout his eight years as pope.
I shall always be grateful to him for the warmth with which he received me on several occasions in Rome, including during my ad limina visit in March of last year. I was privileged to celebrate Mass with him in Washington during his visit to the United States in 2008, only five days after the public announcement that he had named me to be the next bishop of Little Rock. Indeed the announcement was timed so that I could be present.
Despite being already 78 years of age when he was elected, Pope Benedict maintained a schedule that would be daunting for a man half his age, but he was determined not to allow his physical weakness to prevent him from reaching out with pastoral care to address the needs and hopes and pain of so many in the world today, regardless of religion or nationality. He reached out with special solicitude to the beleaguered people of the Middle East, to those living in abject poverty throughout the world and to the youth. He proclaimed the Gospel of Life eloquently and insistently and warned us of the dictatorship of relativism in which eternal truths are rejected as being just one opinion among many.
He reached out patiently to Catholics alienated from the Church, he worked hard to open the eyes of those who had fallen into doctrinal errors, and he proclaimed the primacy of charity as fundamental to the mission of the Church. He called for a more equitable sharing of the world's resources, relief for nations floundering under the burden of inherited international debts that exceeded their ability to repay and greater respect for the environment.
And in all of this he invited people to a personal, saving encounter with Jesus Christ and the good news that -- in Jesus -- God has intervened in human history to set us free from the power of sin and death, from all the evils that enslave us.
Our next pope has big shoes to fill as did Pope Benedict when he succeeded Pope John Paul II. Let us pray for the College of Cardinals, that under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit they will choose for us a worthy successor well equipped to address the complex challenges we face in the world today."
Statement from local Church:
"Dear Parishioners and Friends, there is ONE item on this Grapevine:
Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI
11 February 2013
Fr. John K. Antony
Catholics woke up to the surprising news that Pope Benedict XVI announced his impeding resignation, effective February 28, 2013. While the announcement is surprising, it is not unheard of. Our collective Catholic memory will remind us that the last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, in 1415. Since then, popes have served in office until God called them home. We all recall fondly the courageous conclusion of the life of Blessed John Paul II. Catholics don't typically view the papacy as a "job" but rather as a vocation, a calling from God, like the vocation (not occupation) to be a mother or father. Indeed, the most common address for the pope by Catholics is "Holy Father." This is why for some Catholics the notion of "resignation" will seem to clash with the notion of "fatherhood." Nevertheless, resignation for the pope is clearly a Catholic concept, since canon law expressly provides for such a possibility, requiring only that the resignation be "freely made and properly manifested." The Holy Father did that yesterday.
The Holy Father explained his reasons, saying, "In today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me." I deeply respect and admire our Holy Father, no less now than in the last 8 years of his papacy. He is my Holy Father.
What will happen next? Shortly after February 28, there will be a "consistory of cardinals," a meeting of all the cardinals of the Church. Typically - although not necessarily - the cardinals will elect one of their own number to be the next pope. There are currently 125 cardinals throughout the world; 15 from the United States. In order to be elected - sometimes called being "papabili" - a cardinal needs to be less than 80 years old. There will immediately be media frenzy surrounding all the papabili, if there isn't already.
What should characterize a Catholic's attitude in this time of transition? It's what should characterize a Catholic at all times: an attitude of peace and a spirit of prayer. Why? Because the One who is guiding the Church - from the day of Pentecost, when the Church was born, till the glorious return of her Savior - is the Holy Spirit. That's how Jesus comforted His disciples during the Last Supper before His own impending departure. He said, "Do not let your hearts be trouble...I will ask the Father and He will send you another Advocate (the Holy Spirit) to be with you always" (John 14:16). So, don't worry, the Holy Spirit is still driving the bus. But that's doesn't mean we can fall asleep, either! We must pray! Pray for our present Holy Father, and for his successor. I especially urge praying the rosary. When the rosary is prayed in common, a special, partial indulgence is granted to those who pray for the health, protection and intentions of the pope. Now, we can add his successor to our list of intentions.
No time of transition is easy, not for anyone. I cannot imagine how hard this decision was for our Holy Father. He understands better than anyone that God called him to be the pope. What he needs from us right now is our care and concern, not our criticism and complaints. Change always carries in its wake uncertainty, fear, anxiety, and sometimes even anger and recriminations, and always lurking close by is that all-too-human temptation of lust for power. This becomes more true the higher the level of leadership. So pray for the Church, pray for the cardinals, and pray for yourselves, that we experience another Pentecost, another outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church and on our world in the transition to the next Holy Father.
Jesus said, "The Advocate, the holy Spirit, that the Father will send in my name - he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid" (John 14: 24-27). An attitude of peace and a spirit of prayer.
There will be a lot of media attention directed toward Catholics as a result of this announcement. Prayerfully consider what you say through the press and to the world about your Catholic faith and the Church we love so dearly. May these thoughts and the Holy Spirit guide your response.
For the grapevine to work effectively, I ask you to pass it on to any and all who you believe would benefit from its message."
Original Report:
Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation of the seat on Monday morning.
The Vatican Radio Station did release this statement from the Pope.
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry."
Former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was one of the oldest new popes in history when elected in 2005.
The last resignation from the papacy are not unheard of, however this is the first one in the modern era.
The now 85-year-old became Pope Benedict XVI in April 2005 following the death of John Paul II.

Burnaby murder suspect shot dead in Maple Ridge
A man wanted in connection with three shootings in Burnaby was shot and killed in north Maple Ridge today.
RCMP confirmed Angus David Mitchell, 26, died in hospital hours after being surrounded by police near 132nd Avenue, where a full-fledged gun battle took place prior to his arrest.
A woman spotted Mitchell's green Ford Aerostar van at the end of 216th Street around 11 a.m. Wednesday, less than an one hour after RCMP issued an alert asking the public to keep an eye out for it.
Plainclothes officers from Ridge Meadows RCMP kept the van under surveillance after confirming Mitchell was inside, while other officers shut down streets.
Police tried to talk Mitchell out of his car but he would not cooperate.
Mitchell then shot at the officers with his his high-powered Mossberg Maverick hunting rifle but did not attempt to flee. No officers were injured.
Craig Marquis, who works at MREC Feed and Tack on 132nd Ave., near 224th Street, heard the gunshots.
"It sounded like a couple of single gun shots and then machine-gun fire," he said.
Vancouver Police have taken charge of the scene and will investigate the shooting.
"These situations are tragic. Nobody in law enforcement likes to see this type of situation end up in gun fire," Ridge Meadows RCMP Supt. Dave Walsh said.
"Not a happy day for us and not the resolution we were looking for."
Police issued a warning about Mitchell early Wednesday, asking anyone who knew him or had a conflict with him to be on guard.
Police allege he shot a 51-year-old Burnaby man in front of his home in the 4400-block of Gilpin Crescent Tuesday, May 29. The man survived and is in hospital in serious condition.
Mitchell is also a "person of interest" in the double homicide in South Burnaby on Sunday, May 27. In that incident, 36-year-old Burnaby resident Huong (Andy) Tran and a woman were shot to death at Tran's Royal Oak Sushi House on Royal Oak Avenue near Kingsway.
Police have not yet established a motive for the murders.
While the forensics work from the murder scene has yet to be completed, there appear to be links between the two incidents, said Sgt. Pound, a spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
"Just geographically, Burnaby doesn't see a lot of these kinds of crimes," Pound added. "It looks like it might be a similar weapon, but again, forensics will have to shine a light on that."
Mitchell was a former security guard who worked in that industry "for some time." He appeared to have had conflict with former employers and coworkers.
The reason for Mitchell's eviction six months ago was unknown other than that there was "some level of conflict between him and the former landlord."

Integration with Salesforce
Sales Team Automation
To compete in today's competitive markets companies are deploying CRM solutions, like Salesforce, to streamline all phases of the sales cycle - from lead management, through opportunity identification to analytics and forecasting.
But What About the Documents?
While Salesforce captures the deal and client information it does not help to manage the various types of documentation that are created and used during a sales engagement. How do you efficiently keep track of the different versions of an RFP or RFI used to respond to a bid? How do you keep other sales team members aware of changes and updates? And how do you easily engage with other back office staff, many of who may not have access to Salesforce?
Automating The Sales Document Process
The Alfresco Integration for Salesforce offers full document management capabilities to sales teams and other Salesforce CRM users. Accessible directly from within Salesforce, the Alfresco solution brings business documents to life and helps to improve sales teams productivity. This powerful integration allows the sales teams to manage critical deal content from within the Salesforce application, but extend access to other 'non-Salesforce' users. For Example: Automatically starting the required review and approval processes, passing the contract or agreement to legal, as soon the content is uploaded to Salesforce.
Some of the features of the Alfresco to Salesforce CRM integration include:
- Sales Team Notifications - Chatter integration ensures that all members of the sales team are notified when new content is added or modified within an opportunity
- Opportunity Data Association - Salesforce opportunity data is saved as metadata associated with the documents and can be used to drive automated rules and associated actions within Alfresco
- Find Key Documents - Using the associated deal information, users can search for relevant opportunity documents by searching on the contextual metadata
- Full Document Management Support - Sales teams get access to robust ECM capabilities, including uploading of files, versioning, tagging, sharing, editing and deleting
- Collaborate With Prospects – Use Alfresco in the cloud to securely collaborate online with prospects and partners
- Mobile Access - The ability to access, amend and collaborate on key prospect files, and other sales and marketing information, on mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) while away from the office
- Two way Synchronization - Automatically have key documents synchronized back to Alfresco on-premise for long term storage and management
- Business Process - Automatic creation of the relevant business process (for example, sending an agreement to legal for review) based on document type and opportunity data (stored as document metadata)

Requeuing tasks in C#
Thursday, January 19, 2012 4:30 PM
Occasionally we have failures that require us to requeue tasks. That works fine, except we're concerned about cases where the grid is heavily used, and that requeued tasks will be sent to the bottom of the "queued" list and cause this run's results to be delayed behind other runs. Is this a legitimate concern, or will the initial job reserve 1 or more cores to ensure that any requeued tasks immediately run (or worst-case, when the rest of the tasks for this initial job have completed)? I guess the point is, we want to avoid a situation where tasks are requeued but the initial job is forced to wait for hours because someone else snuck in a huge job in the mean-time. Since there should always be one core (or whatever the "minimum" is set to) reserved for use by the job, it seems to me that perhaps any requeued tasks will simply get re-run at the end (at worst-case, if other cores are busy). If there are expected to be such errors during a run (and requeues), would raising the minimum number of cores for the job mitigate the problem? Is there a reason for concern?
If the job has completed and there are still failed tasks, the entire job can be re-submitted at a higher priority. I think this is somewhat of a special case, but requeuing the entire job at a higher priority may address the problem for the case where your last remanining task(s) fail and the job has ended and thus needs to be re-submitted. In this case, even if re-submitting at a higher priority, a large job may have gotten submitted inbetween the time that this job had started, and no cores may be available when re-submitted until a currently-running task has ended. I don't think there's really any way around that aside from allowing currently-running tasks to be pre-empted, but I'd rather not do that.
This thread mentioned a similar question, but it appears that you cannot reset most properties, including priority, when the job is in a running state. Here, the job is in a queued state. In my case, it'll either be running or failed (completed).

the way to achieve this is to cancel the job (unless it's already in failed state), set it to a high priority, and requeue it. The scheduler won't allow a requeued job to go to the head of the waiting list unless it's of high priority. It's designed this way so that nobody can unfairly occupy the cluster for a long time by requeuing a canceled job for multiple times.
You don't have to wait the large job to finish to release resource though. By enabling graceful preemption, the scheduler will release cores to high priority jobs at task bounday (when a task in low priority job finishes). See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd197402(WS.10).aspx

Thanks for the reply.
I think the key concern was that while a job is running, what happens when you requeue a task? After a good amount of testing (where I'm pretty sure we have the default graceful preemption) I find that the job does not relenquish cores (at least if there are not higher-priority tasks waiting), and requeued tasks are processed as soon as a core is available. As the job finishes, cores are relenquished to other jobs; it seems to me that it's working as desired, and I'm happy with that. It may be that with graceful preemption that a core will not be instantly available where it may have been if preemption were turned off. So, there still may be a wait until the requeued task runs, but at least it will not requeue behind other queued jobs' tasks.
Once the job has ended (failed), it's a different situation. To re-run job failures, you must re-queue. At that point, you can change the priority. If you don't change the priority, you get stuck behind all other previously-queued jobs.
But the bottom-line is, I don't think there's a need to force a cancel on the entire job as long as it's still running -- simply requeueing a task seems to work fine (as long as the job is in a running state which it won't be if the last task fails).
A related question: is it better to change the priority before calling .ConfigureJob() or after? (If in a Failed state, it doesn't seem to matter, but there may be a case that I'm not testing where it might matter.)

Tip : How to paint a panelled door
Note: you do not need to take the door off its hinges, but do remove door furniture such as handles to allow the best finish.
See diagram (centre) for colour separation.
Step 1 - Prepare the door
1, Remove any peeling paint – a putty knife works best.
2, Sand the surface lightly with 120-grit sandpaper. Panel corners can be tricky, so try using a sanding sponge.
3, Clean the surface with a household cleaner so that the whole door is free from dirt and dust. Dry surface with a clean cloth or leave to dry naturally.
Step 2 – Painting the Panels
Use a good quality 5mm (2inch) brush and a solvent-based paint.
1, Start by painting the panels working your way from top to bottom. Paint the grooves of the panel first, being careful not to use too much paint (too much paint can congregate in the grooves).
2, Now paint the flat surface of the panels.
Step 3 – Paint the Centre Stile
1, Working from top to bottom of the door paint the centre stile (see diagram top right). Be careful, avoiding paint drips.
2, Paint in the natural direction of the grain of the wood. In this case paint up and down.
Step 4 – Paint the Rails
1, Again working top to bottom of the door, paint the rails working your brush left to right (see diagram top right).
Step 5 – Paint theVertical Stiles
1, Now paint the remaining stiles using an up and down brush motion.
2, Use a smaller 25mm (1 inch) brush to paint the edges of the door, avoiding paint drips again. Try not to get paint on the door hinges.
Step 6 – Paint the Frame
1, Lastly, paint the doorframe with the smaller brush.
When complete leave the door ajar and leave to dry completely.

To make these little flower pots you need iced chocolate cake for the 'dirt'. I bought a ready made one and mashed it together then spooned it into the mini shot cups. The flower is made of 5 regular sized M&M's around 1 Mini M&M. They are fixed to the spoon with a dot of melted white chocolate. For the leaves I cut a Spearmint Leaf lolly in half. Once the children eat the flower they can use the spoon to eat the pot of cake. I'm hoping they get a kick out of eating 'dirt'. Click here for the full recipe and instructions(Pdf)
*Tragic postscript: On the way to school this morning she dropped the entire tray of 40 flowers…For a moment we could only stare, in mute horror, at the mangled mess. As the tears began welling in her eyes, I found my voice and said "Oh well, at least they'll still taste great!" She happily agreed and we salvaged what we could. My fault for letting her carry it…*

Dragons cut Hook
5 Oct 2011
James Hook is dropped to the bench for Wales' quarter-final clash against Ireland.
Hook missed crucial penalties against the Springboks in the pool phase and has since dropped out of favour.
In other changes, Alun Wyn Jones and Jonathan Davies move from the bench to second row and outside centre respectively while Danny Lydiate and Shane Williams return to blindside flanker and left wing respectively from outside the 22 that beat Fiji 66-0 last Sunday.
Wales - 15. Leigh Halfpenny, 14. George North, 13. Jonathan Davies, 12. Jamie Roberts, 11. Shane Williams, 10. Rhys Priestland, 9. Mike Phillips, 8. Toby Faletau, 7. Sam Warburton (c), 6. Danny Lydiate, 5. Alun Wyn Jones, 4. Luke Charteris, 3. Adam Jones, 2. Huw Bennett, 1. Gethin Jenkins.
Subs: 16. Lloyd Burns, 17. Paul James, 18. Bradley Davies, 19. Ryan Jones, 20. Lloyd Williams, 21. James Hook, 22. Scott Williams.

6 Oct 2011, 06:13 amHook cuttin dragons,
did i?
6 Oct 2011, 07:53 amI presume Priestland will be taking gal kicks. So why drop Hook if his goal kicking was his only issue? He's been one of their most dangerous weapons so far.
Other than that, this is a very potent Welsh side. Should pose plenty problems for the Irish.
6 Oct 2011, 07:54 amgal = goal
(I'm not suggesting he's going to kick the ladies)
6 Oct 2011, 11:02 amLOL, Joined the movement I see.
6 Oct 2011, 12:52 pmIreland going to win this game.
While Wales are a very dangerous side,dropping Hook isnt the right move.Halfpenny is mostly a winger and has added spark in secong half when he has come in-should have continued in that role.long with North & Williams that back 3 is suspect under high ball.
Priestland not a world class kicker and Ireland have stuck with Ogara pluswith their magnificent pack and more specifically lose trio-Warburton will be neutralised.
Ireland by 7
6 Oct 2011, 15:37 pm@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-5: I think this game will come down to weather – if it is wet ireland all the way , dry we could be in for a cracker

… a practical guide to getting the most from your new engine
The following steps are ways to ultimately increase engine longevity, performance, and minimize maintenance costs. These are all great reasons to carefully plan your engine's break-in and maximize the time you spend in the air.
- Take-Off: Conduct a normal take-off with full power full rich conditions. Monitor the engine RPM, oil pressure, cylinder head temperatures and oil temperatures for overheating or irregular oil pressure. Make sure all gauges are in the green.
- Ascent: Reduce to climb power in accordance with the flight manual and maintain a shallow climb attitude to gain optimum air speed and cooling. This will ensure you do not 'force' the engine and will prevent overheating.
- Hour 1: Level flight cruise should be at 75% power with best power or richer mixture for the first hour of operation which will continue the ring seating process.
- Hour 2: The second hour power settings should alternate between 65% and 75% power with the appropriate best power mixture settings. Vary the power setting every 15 to 30 minutes utilizing best power settings. Best power mixture settings are necessary to maintain high cylinder combustion pressures.
- Cruising: Engine controls or aircraft attitude should be adjusted, as required, to maintain engine instrumentation within specifications.
- Descent: The descent should be made at low cruise power settings with careful monitoring of engine pressures and temperatures. Avoid long descents more than 15 minutes with cruise RPM and manifold pressure below 18 In. Hg. You do not want to be powering back the engine for an extended period of time. If necessary, decrease the RPM sufficiently to maintain manifold pressure.
Best power mixtures occur between 75 and 125°F rich of peak exhaust gas temperatures. Mixtures richer than best power actually reduce cylinder pressures and cylinder temperatures and can increase the time required to properly seat the piston rings.
Best economy mixture settings reduce cylinder pressures and should be avoided. Reduced cylinder pressures with increased cylinder temperatures can result in "glazed cylinder walls," which can only be corrected by removing the cylinders to re-hone the barrels and replace the piston rings.

Great product. It's more beautiful than I expected. The Shower curtain is not only functional but stylist. The fabric does a great job of keeping the water in the tub and the shower curtain dries rapidly leaving no need to wipe down.
This liner is light years away from the old plastic liners that get moldy, icky and aren't pleasant to look at or bump into. It does truly repel the water, hangs nicely against the shower curtain; I bought two and couldn't be happier with this purchase. Plastic shower liners? Never ever again!
This shower curtain is nice and arrived quickly. It is water resistant rather than waterproof; so it really should be used along with another curtain.
I love having a cloth shower curtain instead of toxic plastic. It is simple looking and beads off the water easily. I highly recommend it. the only negative is that it tends to blow in towards the shower when it's on, but I just weigh it down with a shampoo bottle.
I was so excited about this shower curtain because it received great reviews. This is horrible, mold gathered on the bottom within 3 weeks of putting it up. What a disappointment. I went to one of the big retailers and bought a commercial grade liner and it is going strong with no problems after about 6 weeks. Save your money
I don't think this is a standard size shower curtain. I have a claw-foot tub and shower and it goes around the tub only half-way. Perhaps I should not have assumed it was a standard size and purchased two. Other than that, I think it is a good product, so far.
Looks good works as designed, you cant go wrong in purchasing this shower curtain liner!
If you are looking for a safe alternative to a plastic liner this is perfect. It dries fast and doesn't get moldy. If you worried about the effects of plastic shower liners then you will be very happy with this product.
I have been using it for about a year now. It wears well. It washes well. I'm very happy with this product.
Great liner at a great price. It is also easy to clean by throwing it in the washing machine.

Marines aim to spread cheer to kids this Christmas
ALBANY, GA -- The 'Toys For Tots' program is the largest outreach program for the Department of Defense.
Since 1947 Marines have collected thousands of toys to distribute to less fortunate families around the Christmas holiday. This year the campaign is in full swing and Gunnery Sergeant Kenneth Starkey, the MCLB's Toys For Tots Coordinator says they have an aggressive goal to meet. "Last year we distributed 40,000 toys to 7,000 children and this year the goal is higher. We want to outdo last year's marks. We want to hit about 7,500 children with at least 42,000 toys" says Starkey.
If you don't have time to shop for a toy, officials say that's okay because they collect cash, checks, and you can donate online with a credit card as well. One of the major events is a "stuff the truck" fundraiser December 1 – December 3, 2011 at the Ledo Road Wal-Mart. Hospital Corpsman Lennox Bennett says marines will be outside all day collecting toys. "We're going to be there from 7 in the morning until 6 at night, and we're asking everyone in the community to please come out and support us by donating a new unwrapped toy.
The Marines have several events planned over the next few weeks to collect toys for their campaign including the stuff the truck at Wal-Mart, a golf tournament, and a concert at Darton College. Organizers say they have to reach all different kinds of audiences because Southwest Georgia's children deserve to have a Merry Christmas.

Some games I'm a full second behind what my enemy sees.
Like (0)
The same **** happens to me all the time. The thing that makes it so ridiculous for me is that I am host about 90% of the games I play. I am amazed at how when I'm host, whatever everyone else's connections thinks should happen, happens.Mogwai Warrior wrote:
It's not my connection and it's not lag that you can see. Some games I'll do awesome and to be quite honest I know it has to do with some sort of lag that the game is not showing you because sometimes guys come up on me first and I know he's got the drop on me, but I still wind up killing him probably when I shouldn't have. Then I have other games when the tide has turned against me. I have had times where the enemy is running up a hill and the only reason I know he is there is because I can see his red gamertag at the top of his head, so I already have my sights aimed on him, but I die first. I then look at the kill cam and from his point of view he is already fully up the hill and it looks like I'm just staring at him not doing a damn thing. I've had times where I have glanced out a window for no more than a second, but on the kill cam it looks like I am just walking in front of the window and then I'm just standing there. This game is just so inconsistent. Some good games, some bad. When this game is not laggy it's the best COD yet, but when it's bad it's probably the most frustrating online game I have ever played.
I know how you feel man. It's ridiculous. Black Ops has the worst net code I have ever seen in a multi-player game.John Rambo 09 wrote:
being host sucks, i played CTF with a few of my friends on the other team and they kept asking my why i was shooting behind them.

Einhorn Adores Apple in Latest 13F
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn is putting his money where his mouth is, adding to his Apple (AAPL) stake as of the end of 2012.
Einhorn, who is currently suing Apple to try to prevent the company from changing its charter, now owns 1.3 million shares according to his latest 13F filing, up from the third quarter, when he owned 1.09 million shares.
In addition to the 1.3 million share stake, Einhorn owns the right to purchase another 275,000 shares via call options.
Last week, Einhorn put out a letter asking shareholders to vote against Apple's proposal to do away with preferred stock, which he says restricts "the Board's ability to unlock the value on Apple's balance sheet." Apple responded, saying that it would "thoroughly evaluate Greenlight Capital's current proposal to issue some form of preferred stock."
CEO Tim Cook called the lawsuit a "silly sideshow" at a Goldman Sachs conference earlier this week, as he discussed the prospect of returning cash to shareholders. Mr. Einhorn also purchased shares of Google (GOOG) during the quarter, initiating a stake of 63,000 shares in the Internet search giant. He added to his stakes in Aetna (AET) and Marvell Technology (MRVL) as well during the quarter. In contrast, Einhorn did very little selling. Positions in CBS (CBS) and Babcock & Wilcox (BWC) were among the more notable names where stakes were decreased. In the third quarter Einhorn cut his stake in Apple, along with other names, including Microsoft (MSFT) and Seagate Technology (STX). Shares of Apple closed Thursday slightly lower, off 0.09% to $466.59. --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_BullSelect the service that is right for you!
