Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:
"show me an athlete who did well academically."
"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."
talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.
same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.
UPDATE: Why did DA José Garza's office just let Frank Bonner walk on the murder of homeless woman Kelly Meazell?
Here's what prosecutors got from police:
- Kelly was shot in the neck at close range, with signs of being robbed after.
- A nearby security camera caught a man running after Kelly, then jumping into a car and speeding off.
- A tipster told police what happened: Bonner killed Kelly because she owed him drug money, then came home that night in bloody clothes, bagged them up, and took off.
- Two days later, police got a 911 call from Bonner's apartment because a woman was being held at gunpoint. He ran before officers arrived.
- Police searched the apartment and found a Nest camera in his living room recording the night Kelly was killed. Six minutes after the shooting, Bonner walks in, strips off his bloody clothes, and stuffs them into a kitchen trash bag. He tells the woman with him to power off her phone then washes his hands. He tells her to mop the floor, and then says, on his own camera, out loud: "Homicide will be in this hoe, right." Then he tells her to misdirect police about his timing and whereabouts.
Garza's office reviewed all of this and rejected the murder charge two weeks ago -- after years of dropping Bonner's prior cases for aggravated robbery, drug felonies, evading arrest, tampering with evidence, contraband in jail, and felon-with-firearm.
Bonner's pending aggravated assault case was also dismissed in the meantime. This was a separate shooting where he put three bullets in a man's leg over a crack baggie. The reason given was that the victim wouldn't testify. But prosecutors don't need a cooperative victim to pursue a man who shot someone in broad daylight -- not with shell casings, surveillance, 911 audio, medical records, and a record a mile long. They chose not to fight that one either.
So after a trail of victims, including a dead homeless woman, Frank Bonner is back on Austin's streets.
Gotta love John Gruden getting into lacrosse and all the swag he's been receiving. Shout out to Luke Rhoa of @CuseMLAX@Crabslacrosse getting some love.

Without this global town square for free speech, a lot of important things never would’ve seen daylight.
Real-time information governments tried to bury. Scientific debate that was actively censored. Voices that would’ve stayed silenced forever.
Respect to @elonmusk for being the man in the arena when it actually counted. 🫡🙏
Look at this box we got all the way from Bozeman, Montana!
It's the NATIONAL CHAMPION Montana State Bobcats! These guys are tough as nails and play some awesome football!
Thank you Coach Vigen and @MSUBobcats_FB for sending this great box!
I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
@Danny_RedHot Texas with losses to BYU, Utah Valley and Boston College OT (blowing a 12-6 lead). Hopefully get some injured players back particularly at FO.
There are two types of people in this world:
Those that run towards gunshots and those who run from them.
God bless this courageous police officer who answered the call and put his life at risk to take down the deranged Austin shooter.
Both the men and women of @usahockey LOVE THEIR TEAMMATES and LOVE THEIR COUNTRY!!!
The way it’s suppose to be!
Hell YEAH!!!
Congratulations and THANK YOU to both teams!
