5 Stocks Carl Icahn Is Buying

BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Billionaire investor Carl Icahn isn't a fan of half-measures.

When Icahn buys a stock, he intends to be an active part of the business -- whether management wants him to or not. As a result, Icahn has become the poster boy for activist investors, going so far as to launch The Icahn Report, a blog that shares his thoughts on the struggles between investors and the management teams they employ.

The approach works; Icahn's self-made wealth is estimated at $14 billion.

>>5 Stocks to Buy to Be Like Buffett

His deep conviction strategy for buying stocks means that when Icahn likes a stock, he loves it. That's all the more reason to pay attention to his buying and selling activities a regular basis. To do that, we'll turn to his firm's latest 13F filing.

Institutional investors with more than $100 million in assets are required to file a 13F -- a form that breaks down their stock positions for public consumption. From hedge funds to mutual funds to insurance companies, any professional investors who manage more than that $100 million watermark are required to file a 13F. By comparing one quarter's filing to another, we can see how any single fund manager is moving their portfolio around.

>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying

Without further ado, here's a look at five of Carl Icahn's favorite stocks.

Chesapeake Energy

First off is the sole new position that Icahn Associates added to its portfolio in the second quarter: Chesapeake Energy ( CHK). The investor bought more than 50 million shares of the firm during the second quarter, remarkably taking nearly a $1 billion position in the firm within a single quarter.

The decision to buy Chesapeake is significant. Not only was Icahn buying weakness from CHK's dramatic and public shakeup earlier this year, but the purchase also represented his second time owning a major stake in the energy company. Icahn sold off his firm's previous holdings back in 2010, when he lost confidence in the board.

Now he owns 7.6% of outstanding shares -- and he wants the board to make some big changes.

>>5 Rocket Stocks Ready for Blastoff

Chesapeake is mainly an unconventional natural gas firm, directing the lion's share of its efforts on 15 million acres of shale and basin projects spread across the U.S. 18.8 trillion cubic feet equivalent of proved reserves make Chesapeake a significant player in the U.S. natgas market, and its outspoken CEO makes it a significant presence in the industry. The firm has had a "for sale" sign out in the open for the last several years, shedding noncore businesses and generating substantial cash for its trouble. As those tertiary asset sales continue, CHK should continue to drive balance sheet liquidity and income statement performance.

While CEO Aubrey McClendon has caught a lot of heat for under-disclosing related party transactions, I think it's clear that Chesapeake needs him at the helm. He's navigated the business through treacherous waters before, and his well participation arrangement wasn't in and of itself inappropriate.

With shares already slammed from the "scandal," now looks like a bargain opportunity to be a buyer, especially if Icahn and company help to shake extra profits out of the corporate structure.

This past week has been a dramatic one for Navistar ( NAV), the small-cap commercial vehicle and engine builder. While Icahn loves the company (his firm bought nearly a million shares of NAV in the second quarter), he hates its management team. To that effect, Icahn has been exchanging nasty letters with management, most notably scolding the board for making major decisions (like a CEO change) without input from major shareholders.

While the drama isn't likely to come to an end soon, it's clear why Icahn still likes the business.

>>5 Oversold Stocks Ready to Bounce

Navistar is a leader in the heavy vehicle business. Brands include flagship International, Monaco Coach, and its MaxxForce engine marque, giving NAV market-leading positions in 75% of its business lines. As oil prices continue to ebb and flow, the trucking industry should get some semblance of a shot in the arm, providing a boost in the parts and vehicles that roll off of NAV's manufacturing lines. A slow embrace of nontraditional fuels, particularly electric-drive vehicles, could be a big growth avenue for the firm in the next few years as city operators look for ways to trim overhead.

While Navistar carries considerable debt, much of it is tied to a captive finance business that's separate for all intents and purposes. With more than $750 million in cash on its balance sheet and proven cash generation ability, NAV looks like a solid bet right now.

That's especially true now that shares have slid more than 33% this year. With the Icahn fight going strong, investors may be able to get a bargain here.

CVR Energy

Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

On the other hand, CVR Energy ( CVI) is having a stellar year. Shares of the refiner are up more than 85% so far this year, boosted by Icahn's public bid and a plan to take the company private. That plan got scrapped more recently when Icahn conceded that commodity prices made taking the company private unfeasible -- but he's not selling.

In fact, as recently as the second quarter, Icahn continued buying to the tune of 58.6 million shares. According to Icahn Associates' 13F, the firm owns 82% of CVR right now.

>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts

With going private off the table, Icahn is going to operate the business with hopes of continuing to shop the firm once refining spreads improve. Mid-cap CVR is an independent refiner with operations in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, that also owns a fertilizer business. The firm's 185,000 barrel per day capacity mean that it's on the smaller end of the refining spectrum, but its Midwest positioning exposes the firm to a much more profitable side of refining than most supermajors have access to. That's evident in CVR's consistently high net profit margins.

With activist investor Carl Icahn helming the ship -- and with a willing crew in the firm's management team -- CVR has the potential to extract some attractive value for shareholders in 2012. The stock's rally means that the biggest profits have already been made, but investors seeking out energy exposure could do worse than a stable, highly-profitable refiner.

American Railcar Industries

Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

Get Adobe Flash player

On the much more small-cap side of the spectrum is American Railcar Industries ( ARII) another existing position that Icahn Associates added onto in the second quarter. American Railcar is a concentrated position for Icahn -- his firm's $43 million stake represents more than 55% of outstanding shares, giving him full control of the company.

As its name suggests, American railcar builds hopper and tank railcars. The firm also services railcars and provides fleet and design services. The ARII position is a sort of compliment to Navistar in that they're both secular bets on transportation -- only ARII is primed to do well if fuel prices continue to increase (rail transport is many times more efficient per ton shipped) whereas Navistar's trucks win out if crude stagnates. As a pure play on transportation, my money's on NAV over ARII.

While the latter is debt-neutral and has become respectably profitable in the last quarter, its income statement has also been a whole lot more volatile, impacted by much lower deal volume and long-term declines in revenues.

Take-Two Interactive Software

Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

Get Adobe Flash player

Carl Icahn's last position increase in the last quarter came from shares of Take-Two Interactive Software ( TTWO), the video game developer and publisher behind game franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands. Icahn added 578,000 shares of TTWO to his firm's position in Q2, building his stake in the gaming firm to $74.6 million.

Take Two's status as an independent game developer and publisher gives it a lot of freedom to develop games that make more mainstream firms anxious. The Grand Theft Auto franchise is a perfect example of a title that's hardly politically correct, but proved to be a smash commercial success for TTWO. Operationally, though, TTWO has problems. The firm's earnings are haphazard, with hit-or-miss performance driven by success in a small handful of titles. At the same time, the firm has been slowly building a substantial debt load, tripling its borrowings in the last three years.

While cash has been growing in kind, it makes little sense to hold onto so much balance sheet liquidity when debt service costs start to materially erode already tentative earnings. That being said, the firm has a pipeline of highly touted titles that should help make the coming year an impressive one financially.

Investors looking for a more speculative way to play consumer discretionary numbers could do worse than Take-Two. But they could do better too.

    Patience and being understanding are probably my best qualities for being a teacher. That's not just what I think but a number of my pupils and pupils' parents have told me so. A sense of humour in the right situations can also be productive. Lots of people are good musicians but not all of them have the patience to teach people who struggle with the subject. I know from personal experience from when I was a child that the more someone shouts at a person who is trying hard but finding something difficult, the harder it becomes for that person to do well. That doesn't meant that I will be too soft with anyone messing about but am understanding towards those who are keen but not naturaly gifted in music.

Book reviews: Fossils, friendships and feelings with Templar Publishing

Fossils, friendships and feelings with Templar Publishing
Fossils, friendships and feelings with Templar Publishing
Share this article

Discover a magical underworld, take flight with a homesick parrot and enjoy the perfect picnic with one of the UK’s leading children’s publishers.

Founded in 1978, Templar Publishing has become one of the world’s most respected publishers of illustrated children’s fiction, novelty and picture books and its summer selection packs some special sunshine surprises.

Age 5 plus:

Under Earth, Under Water by Aleksandra Mizielinski and Daniel Mizielinski

If you thought our planet was full of surprises, take a look at what goes on underneath it!

From fossilised dinosaur bones, super-deep boreholes and ancient relics to giants of the deep, spectacular sinkholes and coral reefs, the big, wide world under the earth and sea is brimming with colour, human creations and strange creatures.

From talented graphic artists Aleksandra and Daniel Mizielinski, the creative married couple behind the bestselling Maps, comes this giant-sized book of fascinating facts and mind-blowing revelations sure to capture the imagination of any child who ever wondered what lies beneath their feet.

Using a two-sided, horizontal layout, Under Earth, Under Water offers hundreds of fascinating facts just waiting to be unearthed as youngsters dive below the surface of our lands and seas. Marvel at early submarines and incredible sea life, meet cavers, miners and passengers on the metro, peek into the domains of burrowing animals and get down and deep to see amazing man-made tunnels.

Alternating between the two sides of the book, young readers can explore underground labyrinths and dive into the deep sea with the help of an engaging, in-depth and visually attractive mine of information.

The colourful contents page resembles a board game which unveils the two-pronged journey under the sea and under the earth. Young readers cross the borders of different levels of subsurface lands as they travel to the middle of the book which represents the Earth’s core.

On the way, they find bugs and burrow-dwellers, lurk inside the pantry of a fox’s den and an ants’ nest, learn the names and properties of various spices and move on into spaces used by humans with their trails of cables and pipes, metros, mines and even the wreck of the Titanic.

Fantastic designs, quirky illustrations and a treasure trove of discoveries make this a book that children will return to time and time again, and ensures that they will never look at the hidden world in the same way again!

(Templar Publishing, hardback, £20)

Age 3-6:

Petunia Paris’s Parrot by Katie Haworth and Jo Williamson

Petunia Paris is used to getting everything she wants… but a parrot who refuses to talk leaves her lost for words (well almost!).

Exciting new author Katie Haworth and up-and-coming illustrator Jo Williamson have teamed up to create a gorgeous picture book about a little girl who learns that having everything can sometimes mean nothing.

Petunia Paris has everything she could possibly want, from a swimming pool and a thousand dresses to a mountain of toys and a bicycle with its very own chauffeur. When her doting parents ask Petunia what she wants for her fifth birthday, she can’t think of a single thing so requests the first thing that pops into her head… a talking parrot. And a parrot is what she gets – a beautiful scarlet macaw all the way from Peru. But Petunia’s parrot doesn’t do what Petunia wants it to. Instead of talking it only says ‘Squarrk!’ You see, the parrot wants only one thing… to go back home to Peru.

Haworth, a former picture book editor at Penguin Books in New Zealand, plays with our expectations in a clever, witty and wonderful story that offers laughs as well as life lessons. Her creative tale with a moral at its heart is brought to vivid life by Williamson’s expressive and colour graded illustrations. Petunia’s pink and grey life is transformed into a triple-page riot of colour as her eyes are opened to a world beyond her small and privileged existence.

A little bird tells us that this could well become a picture book classic…

(Templar Publishing, hardback, £11.99)

Age 5 plus:

Kings of the Castle by Victoria Turnbull

Words are also in short supply in an enchanting picture book from York-born author and illustrator Victoria Turnbull.

George, the little monster, doesn’t want to waste the night moonbathing. He wants to build a sandcastle that would turn any monster green eyed with envy. But suddenly out of the sea comes the strangest creature George has ever seen and the night takes an unexpected turn. At first it seems that the two of them will never be able to understand each other’s language, but they soon discover that a few lines in the sand can help them speak without words. And then they realise that there are some things you don’t need language for… fun and friendship!

Turnbull’s cute and quirky story, with its eye-catching illustrations and surprise fold-out pages, speaks volumes to youngsters about the power of friendship to overcome what seem to be insurmountable obstacles like language and culture. Warm, reassuring and entertaining, this is destined to be a bedtime favourite.

(Templar Publishing, paperback, £6.99)

Age 3-6:

The Perfect Picnic by Ciara Flood

A summer picnic in the woods provides food for thought in a warm and whimsical picture book from a rising star in the world of picture books.

Ciara Flood, whose debut book Those Pesky Rabbits won the hearts of children everywhere, returns with a beautifully nostalgic and cuddly story about two woodland animals seeking out the perfect place for their picnic.

Squirrel and Mole do everything together… they bake cakes, go on bike rides and paint pictures. But it’s summer, the sun is shining and today they are going out to share a picnic. Bossy Squirrel is determined that it will be the most perfect picnic ever and together they pack up a feast of delicious food. But the meadow is too sunny, the hill is too windy, the beach is too sandy and the river is definitely far too wet to sit down for a picnic. And to make matters worse, there is a big hole in their well-laid plans…

Flood’s captivating illustrations – brimming with life, colour and happiness – add special magic to a story that pays homage to the healing power of friendship and the pitfalls of perfectionism.

A simple but beguiling story that is just perfect for your little ones…

(Templar Publishing, paperback, £6.99)

Age 3-6:

The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas

Angry, happy, sad, scared, calm… just some of the many human emotions we all experience. But how do you explain to a young child that those feelings are normal?

Graphic designer Anna Llenas helps to clear a path through the fog of youthful confusion in a stunning, offbeat and imaginative picture book packed with colour, quirky collages and sound common sense.

One day, Colour Monster wakes up feeling very confused. His emotions are all over the place… he feels angry, happy, calm, sad and scared all at once! To help him unravel the mix-up, a little girl shows him what each feeling means through colour and puts each colour in a labelled jar so he can recognise and understand his emotions. It’s a problem-solving adventure that leaves him tickled pink…

Llenas’ distinctive and visually exciting collage-effect illustrations, all delicately colour coded, provide a simple, fun but highly effective and accessible exploration of feelings which will appeal to both children and adults.

A monstrously clever picture book…

Ready for social networking?

Want to stay in touch with your friends online? You’ll know there are lots of ‘social networking’ websites and mobile apps that people use to chat, comment, share pictures and game with their friends.

You probably also know that for most of these sites, like Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr or Twitter, you need to be at least 13 years old to sign up. For some, like Whatsapp, you need to be even older.

If you’re under 13 you shouldn’t be using them – you’ll be breaking their rules and could be putting yourself at risk.

There are lots of reasons why these sites can be unsafe for young people, even those over 13, so it’s important that you don’t use them until you know how to do so safely.

Remember - there’s no rush to start social networking and there are plenty of other ways to stay in touch with your friends, chat and game until you’re ready to use them safely.

If you’re already using social networks, make sure you know what the risks are and what you can do to be safer.

What are the consequences?

Find out how some people use social networks to hurt young people and what you can do to be safer when using them.

5 reasons not to rush

Social networking lets people share loads of information about who they are and what they like doing – with lots of different people.

This can put you in difficult situations. Here are 5 things that can go wrong:

  1. Too much information.

    Social networks let you post all kinds of information. The more information you put online the more people can find out about you. Some people might use this to bully you or contact you and lie about being into the same things as you.

  2. Digital footprints.

    What TV shows did you find funny a few years ago? Do you still think they’re funny now? As we get older our interests and the things we find funny change. The problem is things you post on social networks can be difficult to delete – other people could have copied them or shared them. Will you want things you post today to be hanging around in a few years time? Find out more about digital footprints

  3. It’s easy to lie online.

    Some people set up fake profiles on social networks. They even pretend to be girls or boys your age when actually they’re much older. It can be really hard to tell the difference between someone who’s genuine and a fake.

  4. Anti-social networking.

    Just as social networks can be used to share lots of great information about yourself and stay in touch with all your friends – they can also be used to share nasty things - embarrassing pictures, horrible comments, fake profiles – and say nasty things to people.

  5. I did NOT want to see that.

    Anyone can post videos, pictures or ideas on social networks – nice or nasty. That means you might see things you wish you hadn’t.

5 top tips for safer social networking

If you use social networks always think about who can see the things you post and what they reveal about you.

  • Know who your friends are.

    It’s really tempting to accept as many friend requests or follows as possible. It can make us feel popular. But remember, they could be anyone. Do you really want them seeing your pictures, videos or comments?

  • Share with care.

    Once you’ve put something online you’ve lost control of it – it can be copied, shared or edited. It could turn up anywhere. You might be happy showing a funny picture to your friends but would you want your parents or teachers to see it?

  • Use privacy settings.

We are really pleased that the school will be using this money to provide the children with a forest school, including a pond, gazebos, a barbecue area and an adventure trail.’

The group, which consists of parents who raise money and provide events for the children, raised the funds through various activities including parties, discos, vouchers, coin collecting and bags2school. A ball is also planned for November.

When the spot sells T-shirts declaring “Praise the Lard” and proudly serves up “tasty salted pig parts” by the cone, you know you’ve arrived at a true meat-lover’s paradise. Prather Ranch’s all-beef hot dog weighs in at a respectable quarter-pound. It’s served on an Acme pain de mie bun and topped with relish, organic ketchup, yellow mustard, sauerkraut and shaved red onions. Tasty, if unconventional, toppings like house-made mayo, pickled onions and wild arugula are free; fried egg, caramelized onions, jalapeños and uncured maple bacon will cost you $1 to $2 extra. Don’t skimp on the old-fashioned fries, which are hand-cut daily from Kennebec potatoes.

This pop-up bar is one good reason to stop in Riponne for a little longer than usual.

La Riponne has long been a bit of a blight on Lausanne. Despite the grandiose Palais de Rumine, the rest of the square is a mismatched concrete mess, dominated by an underground carpark and overlooked by ugly apartment blocks in shades of dirty beige. But thanks to a clean-up operation designed to rid Riponne of its insalubrious side and re-animate this large space, things are becoming increasingly hip.

One contributor to this is La Grenette, an open-air cafe-bar that first popped up in summer 2014. Tucked under concrete at the far end of Riponne, it’s an ultra laid-back, shabby-chic affair carefully designed to look like a hastily thrown together outdoor living room. With an eclectic array of furniture, you can sit on a boat, a tree stump, a sledge or a director’s chair while you imbibe your choice from a vast selection of drinks. Pick an artisan hot chocolate, green tea or organic ginger fizz in the afternoon, before sampling the bar’s range of bottled beers and a couple of changing ‘bières du moment’ on draft. There’s even one created especially for the bar by local brewery La Nébuleuse. For the after-work crowd there’s a plethora of apéro options, including no fewer than ten varieties of gin.

It all makes for a multi-purpose kind of place, pram-friendly and ideal for a low-key catch up during the day, lively and buzzy on a sunny evening. It sometimes hosts music events, and occasionally welcomes one or other of Riponne’s food trucks (another venture raising the square’s reputation) to sell nosh to its customers.

There’s still an insalubrious undercurrent in Riponne, but what’s good about La Grenette is that it isn’t trying to turn the place squeaky clean and anodyne, but rather to show that it’s hip to be square.

SALEM — Police are investigating the discovery of 11 dogs found living in filth in a home where they were left without food, water or heat.

The abandoned dogs were discovered alive on Thursday inside the home on County Route 64A in the hamlet of Shushan, the Washington County sheriff's office said.

The canines had no food, water or clean cages and many of them were caked with fecal matter. Five rabbits also were found, three of which had died, as well as exotic birds, police said.

A sheriff's patrol went to the location after the owners of a rental property checked on the home and found the animals. The town animal officer had the animals taken to a local veterinarian.

The sheriff's office said there was no food for the dogs, but also said there was "minimal" food for the animals. The office noted "unclean living conditions" for the animals.

Police said they were waiting for information on the condition of the surviving animals to review the case with Washington County prosecutors. They said the investigation remained open.

ALBANY — With three weeks until the states April budget deadline, school education funding has become a flash point in the discussions.

But in addition to the perennial fight over how much to spend on the state’s K-12 system, this one will be over whether school districts need to provide granular building-by-building details over where the money goes.

The battle is pitting Gov. Andrew Cuomo against much of the state’s vast education lobby and it presents the possibility of a high-stakes showdown – first because it is an election year for both the governor and legislators; and secondly because this year’s deadline is March 29, rather than April 1, if lawmakers want to go home for the Easter and Passover breaks.

Cuomo’s  budget director, Robert Mujica, fired the first shot Sunday afternoon reemphasizing a proposal the governor floated with his budget presentation in January: under this plan schools that get more than half their funding from the state would have to detail where the money goes on a building-by-building basis.

That, Mujica said, should ensure that the biggest increases go to the schools serving the poorest and neediest students, who generally need more academic help.

Additionally, the proposal would, according to public school officials, allow the governor’s budget office to hold back state money if they disapproved of the school district’s “spending statement.”

“There can be no budget resolution this year without addressing this issue,” Mujica said in a statement released Sunday.

“We spend more money than any other state in the country but we don’t know where that money is going,” Mujica added on Monday, after a group of African-American pastors and activists, some who ran parochial or charter schools, met privately with Cuomo.

“We’d like to know by school how much is going to each school and we think everyone needs to understand that,” Mujica said, noting that the governor has proposed a 3 percent increase atop the more than $26 billion already being spent. Legislators want a larger increase.

“All the governor is attempting to do is to begin this conversation that should have begun years ago,” said Bishop C. Nathan Edwers of the Friendship Worship Center in Mt. Vernon.

Public school representatives quickly blasted the idea.

“Who do we want to decide local school budgets – state bureaucrats in Albany or local boards of education?” Timothy Kremer, executive director of the State School Boards Association, asked in a prepared statement.

“The New York State School Boards Association does not believe that the state should be empowered to override the decisions of school boards,” Kremer added.

"What he is asking for is that our budget would have to get approved by the State Education Department and the Division of Budget," Schenectady school district Superintendent Larry Spring said.

Spring added that he's OK with the idea of building by building breakdowns. And he said federal education law requires schools develop building by building breakdowns, although those are being phased in.

Because of the federal rule, the state Education Department is working on developing those programs on a state level.

But Mujica, during an interview on the Capitol Pressroom news show, said those rules won’t be in effect until 2020 at the latest.

“We are saying do it now and do it prospectively,” he said.

The Board of Regents, who were meeting  on Monday, said they were working with other states to design a reporting system and they hoped to have “guidance” for reporting by the time schools set their 2018-19 budgets, which happens in July.

The debate came with a bit of showmanship and amid a political background that could elevate questions over school funding.

Billy Easton, executive director of the Alliance for Quality Education, which has advocated to increase funding for needy schools, noted that the biggest affected district would be New York City, whose mayor, Bill de Blasio, has been tangling with Cuomo on a number of fronts. The disclosure would be phased in, starting with the 1-million-student NYC district, the nation’s largest single system.

“If the governor and Bill de Blasio were fighting, they could veto the spending,” Easton said.

As African-American pastors spoke with reporters after their meeting with Cuomo, a group of Broadway performers were at the Capitol putting on brief theatrical performances that included songs calling for more state education funding.

It also came as actress Cynthia Nixon, who has long pushed for more school funding, especially in New York City, is said to be considering a primary run against Cuomo in November. 518 454 5758 @RickKarlinTU

♫♪  Uncivilized - “The Theme / Rouge STOMP / Good King Wenceslas / The Theme Returns” (Uncivilized Plays Twin Peaks Live at Barbès, 2017)

In the top slot of Tiny Mix Tapes’s Favorite 20 TV Shows of 2017 — which, if you haven’t checked yet, please go now and do — Mr P masterfully bisects, dissects, vivisects, and digests the “palimpsest” that is/was Twin Peaks: The Return in a way that only he can, writing among all types of fly shit, “If the original run was in part a pseudo parody of soap operas that supposedly ‘birthed’ modern television, then The Return could be understood as a meta-commentary on modern television’s sanctification and expectations of reboot culture — including the role that Twin Peaks itself plays in this nostalgia industry.”

My humble-pie eaten reading: Twin Peaks was to Days Of Our Lives as The Return is to The Sopranos. Further, Uncivilized Plays Twin Peaks Live at Barbès, 2017, the complete, as-yet-unreleased set, including their take on “Laura Palmer’s Theme” and other pieces premiering below, is to civilization as Twin Peaks (Music from the Limited Event Series / Limited Event Series Soundtrack) (TMT’s 23rd favorite release of 2017) is to the bar-venue concert-going experience. Scene:

Amazon incents Prime members to select slower shipping

July 31, 2014 10:21 AM

Is slower better for some e-commerce shipments? Amazon.com Inc. aims to find out through a new option for members of its Prime two-day shipping program.

The e-retail giant, long-time champ of Internet Retailer’s Top 500 Guide, has launched a “no-rush” shipping option for members of the $99-per-year program. In return for a bit of patience—instead of getting their goods within two days, customers will receive orders in five to seven business days—Amazon will reward those customers with a $1 credit that can be applied to titles offered via Amazon Instant Video.

“Prime members can stream unlimited movies and TV shows on Prime Instant Video for free, so the credit will apply to any paid content on Amazon Instant Video, excluding HBO titles,” an Amazon spokeswoman says.

Amazon launched the program about two weeks ago, and the spokeswoman did not indicate how long it will run. “We are looking forward to getting customer feedback and will continue to evaluate the program down the road,” she says.

The no-rush option so far has pleased at least one customer, Colin Sebastian, an e-commerce analyst for investment firm Robert W. Baird & Co. “I have selected this option before and received the credit,” he says. “I think it makes sense, as it’s unlikely that all Prime orders are really needed within the normal two-day window. This can help Amazon save on shipping expenses, without degrading customer service. The kicker is that it might help train more Amazon customers to buy paid digital content from the site.”

Amazon does not say how much it spends directly on Prime, but in the second quarter of 2014, the e-retailer’s fulfillment expenses increased 29.3% year over year to $2.38 billion. Spending on technology and content—an area that includes the cost of licensing the movies and TV shows Amazon offers—increased about 40.3% year over year to $2.23 billion, according to Amazon’s most recent financial report.

Another e-commerce analyst, Sucharita Mulpuru of Forrester Research Inc., sounded a different note about the no-rush Prime option. “Amazon has backed itself into a corner with Prime and consumers are now overusing the service because it really is too good to be true,” she says. “It's a fabulous deal for customers and bloody expensive for Amazon.”

Mulpuru anticipates how Amazon might further try to make Prime more appealing. “[Amazon hasn’t] yet given free digital book downloads, at least of singles—that could be next,” she says. “This is a way to save money on shipping.”

Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor Corp., which facilitates retailer sales through Amazon and other web marketplaces, has estimated Prime membership at 23 million and said those shoppers spend, on average, four times more than other consumers who shop at Amazon.com. That means Prime could reach some 50 million consumers given that a Prime member can let family members use the service and taking into account free memberships Amazon has awarded to students and other groups. Sebastian says Amazon has made an estimated 10% of its products available for Prime shipping.

The no-rush program represents one of the most recent tweaks Amazon has made to Prime. Earlier this month, Amazon added more music offerings to its Prime Music feature that comes with Amazon Prime membership. Members now have access to hundreds of thousands of new songs and hundreds of new expert-programmed Prime Playlists.

As Amazon tries to sweeten Prime, e-commerce rival eBay this week launched a Prime-like subscription shipping program in Latin America, with consumers in Chile, Mexico and Colombia able to pay $49 annually to cover shipping fees for all the goods they purchase from eBay sellers in the United States.

Subaru says the goal is to “push ourselves further, to reach new heights.” It’s coming in the form of a new 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA NBR production model. Subaru just announced details of the new Type RA (“Record Attempt”) model that will make its dealer launch in early 2018. The STI Type RA has a first-ever for the brand, new carbon-fiber roof. The new WRX STI Type RA NBR will be lighter than the standard model. Other upgrades will set it apart.

Here’s what a limited number of Subaru performance fans will get if you want one of the 500 examples when it arrives next year. It’s coming with more horsepower than the standard model, but it’s not much more. Subaru says it gets an “estimated” 310hp an additional 5 horsepower upgrade over the standard 2.5-liter EJ25 turbo boxer engine. The torque stays the same at 290 lb. ft of toque.

WRX STI Type RA NBR gets faster acceleration

Subaru Tecnica International (STI) worked in some new engine mods using an STI-specified new cold air intake and high flow performance exhaust. A retuned ECU and stronger pistons also contribute to the increased engine performance. The six-speed gearbox also gets re-tuned with a revised 3rd gear ratio mated to a short throw shifter. Subaru says the weight reduction, additional horsepower and revised gearbox all contribute to faster acceleration.

What other upgrades will the limited edition Type RA get?

The new WRX STI Type RA also gets upgraded suspension with inverted front struts and rear double wishbone suspension all with Bilstein dampers, and a modified multi-mode VDC for better stability. The Brembo brakes feature an exclusive silver finish and come paired with cross-drilled rotors for better heat dissipation.

Outside, the Type RA gets Cherry Blossom Red accent around both the front mesh grille and new rear bumper cover. An STI front underspoiler has also been added for better stability at high speeds. The exterior mirrors, roof-mounted shark fin antenna and STI fender badges come in a black finish. The rear deck lid finishes the look with a WRX STI Type RA badge.

Inside the cabin, the limited edition WRX STI’s Recaro performance front seats come with red bolsters and stitching as well as an embossed STI logo on the head restraints. The red stitching and accent trim continues throughout the cabin. Other interior features include an Ultrasuede steering wheel with black gloss-finish center spoke insert with STI logo, and push-button start with Keyless Access. Each of the 500 WRX STI Type RAs come individually numbered with a plaque mounted on the center console. Go to Page 2.

The limited edition 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA NBR production model will be available in WR Blue Pearl, Crystal Black Silica and Crystal White Pearl. It’s coming next year and Subaru will announce pricing closer to dealer launch. Subaru could include the special STI in their 50th anniversary celebration. There’s only 500 examples being produced so it could be a few thousand dollars extra for the Record Attempt package. Stay tuned.

[size=4]Wife Swap UK Series 2[/size]

Wife Swap is a reality series where the wives of two families change places for two weeks. For the first week the wives must live the same way as the wive lives in the other household. In the second week they can implement changes and make all the rules.

Wife Swap UK Series 2
Episode 1: Interior designer Nicola, although you wouldn't think it to look at her house, disagrees on almost everything with husband Jason as he locks himself away to play PlayStation whilst she does all the work and looks after the kids. All that they do agree on is that money is nice whereas Dave and Jane think that family life and laughter is more important. Nicola leaves her mansion in Wales, although at only five bedrooms, it stretches the definition of 'mansion' somewhat, for Jane's house but a surprise awaits them - Dave and Jason are brothers but they have not met in nine years, do not know each other's children and have never been to the other's house.

Episode 2: In what is undoubtedly the most well-known episode of the series, Lizzie leaves Mark and their eight kids to live with Colin and his two, whilst his wife, Emma, is driven away from her detached house in Devon to Lizzie's terraced house in Rochdale. Proudly ambitious and aspirational and about to open her own restaurant with Colin, Emma is shocked at the thought of living on benefits with unemployed Mark, despite them having an annual income of £10,000 more than she and Colin, whilst Lizzie has the measure of Mark after their first meeting, describing him as "all man and no balls!"

Episode 5: Civil servant Jude leaves her two children and husband Roy to swap places with Belinda, who leaves Geoff and two girls behind. Uptight Roy, stepfather to Jude's children, who runs this house like an army training camp is taught by Belinda to relax whilst Jude struggles to keep hold of her rules in an 'anything goes' house.

Episode 6: In a twist on the show, two househusbands swap places as their wives continue to work with Nigel, who does all of the housework in his house, moving to share a house with Alex, her son and two dogs in the kitchen whilst Darren leaves behind his one child to move into a house with seven. All that it takes for Nigel to put down his pinnie is a ride on a motorbike when one of Darren's friends call round, whilst Darren struggles to get Nigel's wife more involved with the children, not believing how lucky but unappreciative she is.

Enjoy :-)

When I was young, my favorite book was Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. In one short story called “The Fire Balloons” a group of missionary priests who were going to Mars worried about how they would recognize sin in creatures that were so different from us. Would different limbs mean different sins? I thought that was an odd question. Though I hadn’t read her yet, Julian of Norwich speaks well of what I felt: you know sin by the pain it causes. I thought Christian missionary would not go to Mars to point out sin but to help ease the pain of beings it encountered there.

Original sin is an important doctrine that points out, among other things, that we are not quite right. As St. Paul says, “I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do” (Romans 7:8-9). Our passions are at war within us. This is our own fault, not God’s. It indicates something broken within us, which all the therapy and perfect upbringing in the world cannot fix. Only God’s grace can heal this wound.

The Nepalese people are wonderful, gentle, sincere and happy. I fell in love with them on my first trip there. I am sure that God loves them even more than I do, but as a Christian I have to ask, can God save them? Is heaven full of beautiful Nepalese people? Few of them are Christians.

The just man appraises the house of the wicked: there is one who brings down the wicked to ruin.

-Proverbs 21:12

Funny proverb, this. So judgemental. In "appraising" the house of the wicked, I'll bet the "just man" has an opinion about just how long the wicked should retain their ill-gotten wealth. Perhaps there is also a bit of secret jealousy hinted at as well. I get that. I am not immune from having gossiped.

How many dimensions does the world have? Most of us would say "three." Albert Einstein said "four," with the fourth dimension being time. Modern string theory is exploring the possibility that there are more dimensions in the universe as a way of explaining odd phenomena.

I was kindly invited to attend a Thai wedding, the daughter of a friend of one of the Dominicans here. A good Catholic family, they were quite happy to have one more priest to attend. It was in the chapel of the new campus of Assumption University outside Bangkok, a church that would be right at home in Rome on a campus that looks like a utopian city of the future from a Stark Trek movie.

From Boudha, Nepal. This morning I went running up to a Krishna temple with Chandra and Rajeesh. Chandra (center) is hoping to move the USA. He is an excellent cook, a hard worker, and has a good education. Rajeesh hasn’t had a day of school in his life, but he is startlingly clever and can run circles around Chandra and me.

This is the Hindu month of Shravan, a sort of Hindu Lent, where people intensify their practice. One of the practices that is new to area is "Bol Bam!", which means "Speak Shiva!" This tradition was brought up in the last several years by immigrants from the Terrai, the low plains bordering India. But it fits in well here in Kathmandu with its ancient Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage sites.

foot in mountain meadow

Jesus told the crowds this parable:

"Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen!"

Corn, clouds, and an old farmhouse

Driving through Iowa, and the corn is doing well. Storm fronts are moving through, bringing alternating patches of sunshine and torrential rain.  Is it the sun or the rain that makes the corn grow? Or perhaps the rich Iowa soil?

The answer is "all of it," of course, sun, rain, soil each contributing in their own way, together making corn that is a living thing and nothing like any of them.

It’s hard to believe that today marks my final day at Trinity. When you’ve spent 13 of the last 17 years at one place, a 500-word farewell column presents quite a challenge “¦ especially for someone who has never embraced the virtue of brevity. How can one encapsulate the milestones, the memories, the emotions and the impact of a place that has served as a personal and professional home for such a significant portion of my life?

You can’t “¦ so I won’t even try. Instead, I’ll attempt to make my final words compelling by offering up three things:  a Confession, a Revelation and a Truth.

Confession: When I was a first-year student, I “¦ (you’re not going to believe this) “¦ did not “¦ (it’s time for the truth to come out) “¦ enjoy “¦ (brace yourself) “¦ Playfair. That’s right, the Orientation guy greatly disliked his own Playfair experience. Scandalous, I know.

Now, to be fair, my lack of enjoyment had much to do with the fact that we were outside in 100 degree heat with a billion percent humidity and mosquitoes the size of LeeRoy making a meal of my posterior.

But in all honesty, the extreme extrovert you see today had not shown himself at 18.

Back then, I didn’t get what all the fuss was about, but after six years of coordinating New Student Orientation, I most certainly do now. Nothing else can break down the walls like 90 minutes of Playfair.

For some reason, students embrace that experience the way I wish we’d embrace life “” with a touch of reckless abandon, a willingness to engage the unknown and a welcome absence of cool-kid personas.

While Playfair everyday would be exhausting (and might possibly cause the introverts among us to hyperventilate), there is something powerful in that experience that translates nicely to one’s education “¦ you know, minus the dancing.

Revelation: You can love Trinity “¦ and not always be in love with Trinity. It’s a relationship like any other, and any relationship worth maintaining across a lifetime will have its ups and downs. One might think after choosing to be an active part of the Trinity community for 13 years that I’d be the ultimate homer, but that’s just not the case.

In addition to the joys and successes, I’ve experienced my fair share of disappointment and frustration. I’ve been told no when I expected to hear yes, and I’ve been befuddled by decisions from time to time.

But here’s the thing, no matter how frustrated or disappointed I’ve been, I’ve always had faith in this institution. That’s why I’ve stayed when others might have gone, and that’s why I will forever remain a proud, committed and contributing alumnus.

Trinity for me is defined by a legacy of excellence and a commitment to students that is lived out at all levels.

Don’t let isolated moments of angst define your relationship to this place. Trinity and its lasting impact on your life are far bigger than those moments.

Truth: Trinity University is truly an exceptional place. Across the years, I’ve heard a consistent lament regarding Trinity’s lack of national recognition, but unless you’re an Ivy or boast a successful Division I football team, it’s hard to achieve the kind of national recognition we all covet. That kind of recognition is hard to come by, but that doesn’t mean the quality and caliber of this institution has gone unnoticed.

While I’d love to believe my new role was earned solely by my exceptional talent, winning personality and quick wit, it was clear throughout my interview that my connection to Trinity was an incredible asset. I think often we define ourselves by what we are not or who we aspire to be rather than acknowledging our significant strengths and positive attributes. Hmm “¦ maybe there’s a lesson about personal self-image hidden in there as well.

Okay, so I’ve exceeded my word count already, but I had some big things to say, and I hope you’ll indulge me one more.

Students, it has been a privilege and a pleasure to be a part of your educational experience. I have seen your potential and it is truly impressive. You have it in you to change the world in ways both big and small but in all ways significant. I am proud to know you and to one day call you fellow alums. You have enriched my life daily and made the work I do so very rewarding. While I am excited for what’s ahead, I know I am leaving part of my heart behind.

Thanks for everything Trinity! You will always be treasured.
