Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Samsung Electronics (005930KS) ended the day up ₩8,000, or 0.6%, at ₩1,307,000, in Seoul trading, after the company announced Q4 results in line with a pre-announcement, showing growth in chips and mobile products. The company warned, however, that demand for mobile may be weaker than is typical for the season this quarter.
Bernstein Research's Mark Newman, who has an Outperform rating and a ₩2,000,000 price target on the shares, this morning writes that "Looking into the months ahead, we expect the common shares to remain challenged as sustainability of handset profits continues to be a key overhang on the stock," though he likes the stock as a "compelling long," especially on the prospect of an ADR listing at some point.
Jefferies & Co.'s Hyunwoo Doh reiterates a Buy rating this morning on Samsung shares, but cut his target price to ₩1,700,000 target from ₩1,800,000, writing that return on equity is going lower, at 19% this year and 17% through 2015, versus 23% last year, given lower profitability.
Semiconductor analyst Robert Maire of Semiconductor Advisors notes that " Samsung has decided to get cautious and is keeping its capex flat for 2014 over 2013 for its initial planning" and that this is "the first time since the financial crisis that in 2009 that they haven't increased their capex."
"It would seem that even though they have retained a lot of Apple chip business that TSMC couldn't handle, even that wasn't enough of a reason to keep spending," he observes.
Maire writes he's cautious about an expected recovery in chip equipment sales this year, noting that "We have now heard that Intel will be flat to down in capex […Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM)] TSMC also announced flat capex and now Samsung is getting conservative and going to flat capex as well." From which he concludes, "Maybe my calculator is broken but I still have a hard time getting to the 15% capex increase many are calling for or even the 10% capex KLAC mentioned on their call tonight."
Speaking of KLA Tencor (KLAC), the stock is down 53 cents, or 0.9%, at $63, after reporting fiscal Q2 revenue and earnings per share ahead of Street consensus, and forecasting revenue this quarter higher as well.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are up 62 cents, or 1.7%, at $36.67, after the company last night reported better-than-expected fiscal Q2 results but offered a revenue outlook this quarter a little under what the Street has been looking for.
Nomura Equity Research's Rick Sherlund reiterates a Buy rating and a $45 price target, writing that likes what CFO Amy Hood is doing to manage costs, but the challenge of the board, and any incoming CEO will be to "permit long overdue changes in product strategy and direction, cadence and tempo of product releases now expected by mobile consumers and enterprise users, and a change in culture and orientation around the realization of shareholder value."
Sherlund attributes the shortfall in outlook to Microsoft being "more cautious on Xbox in a seasonally slower quarter after the big launch quarter and a more cautious estimate of Office going forward."
Shares of touch-sensor maker Synaptics (SYNA) are up $2.25, or almost 4%, at $59.16, after the company yesterday afternoon beat fiscal Q2 revenue expectations, but missed on the bottom line and forecast this quarter's profit below expectations as well.
The stock got at least one upgrade this morning, that I can see. Jeffrey Schreiner of Feltl & Co. raised his rating to Buy from Hold, and raised his price target to $67 from $52, writing that after "several years of being negative or neutral" on the stock, he now thinks he has indications Synaptics has won the touch-sensor contract for Samsung's forthcoming "Galaxy S5" smartphone.
He cites as "data points" the that "March guidance outpaced prior consensus (believe upside was potentially due to Validity); SYNA suggested one reason they didn't breakout biometric revenues was due to strategic reasons; SYNA moved forward expected timeframe for accretion from Validity; Reports out of Korea confirming fingerprint sensor in Galaxy S5."
Shares of Juniper Networks (JNPR) are up $2.35, or 9%, at $28.36, after the company yesterday afternoon beat Q4 expectations and forecast this quarter in line, and CEO Shaygan Kheradpir said he would seek a dialogue with investors, alluding to activists Elliott Management, who have taken a 6% positions in the stock insisting that the company cut costs and step up its return of cash to shareholders.
The shares have gotten at least three ratings upgrades this morning, with Goldman Sachs raising the stock to a Neutral from a Sell, Barclays hiking it to Overweight from Equal Weight, and William Blair upgrading to Outperform from Market Perform.
William Blair's Jason Ader cites "solid momentum" in sales of routing equipment, and and a "reaccelerating in switching equipment," and something called the "integrated operating plan (IOP)," which is inspired by Elliott Management's activism, and "which is to be announced in a matter of weeks." The IOP, as Ader calls it, will be get rid of underperforming product lines and focus R&D more tightly, among other initiatives.
Microsoft (MSFT) this afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue and earnings per share that easily surpassed consensus estimates.
Revenue in the three months ended in December rose 14%, year over year, to $24.52 billion, yielding EPS of $78 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $23.67 billion in revenue and 68 cents.
The company ended the quarter with $83 billion in cash and equivalents and investments, up from $77 billion at the end of June, and $20.7 billion of long-term debt, up from $12.6 billion at the end of June.
More information is available in Microsoft's 10-Q filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Bear in mind that the figure used for comparison for the prior-year Q2 by Microsoft in the headline revenue number includes deferred revenue. Some analysts exclude that number. When that is done, the revenue growth year over year is smaller, on the order of 11%.
Revenue from Windows operating system sales to original equipment manufacturers fell by 3%, with professional-grade licenses offset by "continued softness in the consumer PC market."
CEO Steve Ballmer remarked that the company's "Commercial" business "continues to outpace the overall market," while "Devices and Consumer" products, including Xbox and the Surface tablet computer, "had a great holiday quarter."
"The investments we are making in devices and services that deliver high-value experiences to our customers, and the work we are doing with our partners, are driving strong results and positioning us well for long-term growth," said Ballmer.
Sales of the Xbox into "the retail channel" were 7.4 million, the company said, with 3.9 million of them being the recently introduced "Xbox One."
Total Devices and Consumer" revenue was up 13%, while Commercial revenue was up 10%. Total licensing revenue in the quarter for Devices was down 6% at $5.38 billion. Total hardware sales were up 68%.
Commercial license revenue rose 7.4%.
Microsoft stock is up $1.70, or almost 5%, at $37.71, in late trading.
Management will host a conference call with analysts at 5:30 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.
Update: Some of the gains have burnt off and the stock is now up 80 cents, or 2.3%, at $36.85.
Update 2: Microsoft's head of investor relations Chris Suh was kind enough to spend a few minutes by phone discussing the report. Suh said the company "came in ahead of where we guided across the board" and did better than it had projected in managing expenses.
Suh said the company's bookings were up 12%, its unearned revenue balance rose 12%, and its "contracted, not billed" balance, known as "C&B," representing long-term deals, had risen to $23 billion from $21 billion in the prior quarter. That's evidence, said Suh, of "customers re-committing to us for several years."
Suh said the company's revenue from cloud computing, in aggregate, comprising sales of its "Office 365" productivity suite that is used through a Web browser, as well as its Azure hosting service, and its "Dynamics CRM" business software delivered as a service, rose 107%.
Microsoft's sales of of its Surface tablet computer more than doubled, in revenue and unit terms, from the prior quarter, to about $850 million in revenue, said Suh. He would not say how many units that represented. While "in the grand scheme of things that is still quite small" he said of the Surface revenue, nevertheless, "we feel good" about the progress of the product line. "We've still got a lot of work to do."
Suh confirmed that the real growth rate the company cites for the quarter is 11%, adjusting for the deferrals totaling $546 million of Microsoft Office revenue in the year-earlier quarter. This past quarter's $24.5 billion represented a "clean" GAAP number, with no deferrals to adjust.
Heading into tonight's conference call, with shares are up $1.33, or almost 4%, at $37.38.
Update 3: Microsoft on the conference call offered an outlook for revenue this quarter a little light of what the Street has been modeling.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are down 80 cents, or 2.2%, at $35.73, as the Street fears the succession planning for outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer may not be going the way investors want.
Microsoft yesterday said the decision on a new CEO will happen sometime in "the early part of 2014," which is not fast enough to suit some investors.
More to the point, some fear the company is losing the opportunity to lure Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford (F), who has been a favorite candidate of some sell-side analysts for weeks now.
Anticipation for a Mulally nomination has been building, as exemplified by a piece on Monday by Reuters's Deepa Seetharaman suggesting the auto maker was preparing for "life after Mulally."
Hopes for Mulally are of course darker today, following a warning this morning by Ford that its pretax profit will decline, year over year, in 2014, which has tanked the stock. Ford shares are down $1.17, or 7%, at $15.53, which suggests to some that Mulally might have to decline a Microsoft job in order to help Ford.
In a note to clients this morning, Nomura Equity Research's Rick Sherlund, who has a Buy rating on Microsoft shares, and who has argued recently that Alan Mulally is "still the guy" in the race to replace Ballmer, sounded somewhat less optimistic, writing that yesterday's update from Microsoft "raises a number of issues."
Sherlund had thought Mulally was interested in the job and was "likely to take the position." But now, he thinks Microsoft founder and chair Bill Gates may have swayed the Microsoft board to think otherwise:
The blog post makes reference to Bill Gates' comments previously that the position is a "complex role to fill, involving a complex business model and the ability to lead a highly technical organization and work with top technical talent." We question whether this implies that the board is rethinking the role and looking more exhaustively at candidates from the technology field as the recent "dark horse" candidates noted in the press have suggested, including Pat Gelsinger from VMware (great candidate, in our view) and Steve Mollenkopf from Qualcomm (who is very highly regarded).
"If the board of Ford is pressing Mr. Mulally for a definitive answer, as we have seen reported in the press last week, we have to question whether he might need to pull his hat out of the ring at some point soon and say with certainty that he is not interested," writes Sherlund. That would "be a negative" for Microsoft shares.
On a CNBC segment this morning with Carl Quintanilla, Sherlund reiterated his unhappy view, saying some investors may bail out of Microsoft shares as this progresses.
Sherlund told Quintanilla it looks more likely now that Microsoft is going for a "dark horse" candidate, something suggested in an article last week by AllThingsD's Kara Swisher.
He continued "the news out of Ford this morning makes you wonder, Has Mulally missed his chance to make the jump?"
Sherlund worries a techy, a dark horse, might not be sufficiently "shareholder friendly" for Wall Street:
I'm interested in someone who's a good general manager, who would focus the business, trim some costs, and then perhaps bring in someone like [former senior Microsoft executive] Paul Maritz. Now, I had breakfast with him [Maritz] last week, he's not interested. But I would hope you'd get someone who would be a good general manager and who would leverage the internal people to fix the business. The risk is you get someone internal who's not as interested in shareholder value. Some investors are going to say, Why do I want to wait around and see what happens? The end of the year is awkward timing for all this.
On the other hand, FBR & Co.'s Daniel Ives, who has a Market Perform rating on Microsoft shares, thinks Mulally still is in the ring, because there was nothing said at this morning's presentation to suggest he won't leave, and he thinks Mulally is the right choice:
This morning, in a late-scheduled business update meeting for Ford, there was no discussion of Alan Mulally's future with Ford which we believe is a positive for Microsoft investors as some had feared Mr. Mulally/Ford's board would take his "hat out of the ring" for the CEO position at Microsoft in this meeting. With Mr. Mulally still in the running, we continue to believe he holds the proper mix of ingredients to steer the company in the right direction over the coming years […] With other "outsiders" in the mix and a number of core Microsoft insiders in the running for the CEO role, we view the status quo at Microsoft (unchanged strategy, no major changes to product focus) as the worst-case scenario for investors as it has become very evident that "major change" is needed in Redmond, in our opinion. Overall, the debate around what lies ahead for Microsoft under new leadership is front and center for investors as we believe a number of scenarios are potentially in the cards including: (1) divesting non-core business units (e.g., Xbox, Bing); (2) improving Microsoft's capital allocation strategy; and (3) focusing on newer growth initiatives in the enterprise, and on the mobile and cloud fronts in particular.Given the above scenarios, we believe investors would benefit most from a combination of all three. We would continue to advocate for divesting, spinning off, or winding down the company's low-margin non-core assets (e.g., Bing, Xbox) on the consumer side, which would enable the incoming CEO to adopt greater focus on newer growth initiatives in the enterprise and possibly free up more cash for dividends/share repurchases. In a nutshell, we believe Mr. Mulally is the clear favorite to lead Microsoft back to being known not just as a technological stalwart but as an innovator and major player in key secular areas (e.g., SaaS, cloud, mobile) on track for consistent top-line and profitability growth.
Morgan Stanley' s Keith Weiss this morning reiterated an Equal Weight rating on shares of Microsoft (MSFT), writing that some investors' hopes that there might be a break-up of parts of the business is misplaced, and that the stated strategy of building a "devices and services" business is likely to continue.
Given that, he proposes the company lever up, or pay taxes on foreign cash, to sooth impatient investors.
Following Weiss's conversations with Chris Suh, Microsoft's head of investor relations, Weiss comes away with the impression that the exit of Steve Ballmer as CEO doesn't mean a break-up.
Speculation in the past couple months has focused on Ford (F) CEO Alan Mulally as an outsider who might be amenable to a break-up or restructuring of some kind. Weiss notes that Mulally could be expected to scale back investment, boosting profit. I
It's widely believed that if Mulally comes on board, his focus will be on cost cutting and efficiency, similar to his focus at Ford, where he drove operating margin improvement from -9% in FY06 to +5% in FY13. MSFT has seen margins decline over the past several years, moving from 40% in FY06 to our estimate of 32% in FY14 […A Mulally appointment] assumes Microsoft cuts costs and scales back investments in emerging opportunities, reducing opex by ~10% from FY13 levels. The expense reduction leads to slower top-line growth and we assume that total revenue grows at a ~4% CAGR FY13-FY16 (vs. our base case of 8%), including revenue growth in its emerging opportunities slowing to ~8% (vs. our base case of 18%). However, with better gross and operating margins, EPS can grow ~13% from FY13-FY16e (vs. our base case of 6%). While opex cuts can lead to near-term upside to EPS, our view is MSFT needs to play in the large value pools like Devices and the Cloud in order remain relevant in the long-run tech discussion (and capable of durable growth) — and this requires near-term investment. Although this scenario yields mid teens EPS growth, the sustainability of its growth profile will likely be weakened.
But suggestions that Microsoft should scale back on some things, such as Xbox (which some have suggested Microsoft should sell), may be unrealistic:
There have been calls for Microsoft to split its consumer and enterprise businesses, most notably from co-founder Paul Allen who believes the company should sell the Xbox and Bing assets. We believe it would be difficult for Microsoft to sell its consumer businesses and maintain share in the enterprise space as consumer and enterprise constituents are increasingly influencing each others' purchasing decisions, most notably in the personal computing and smartphone space […] Microsoft went all-in on mobile with the announced acquisition of Nokia, which will likely close in Q1 CY14. While the timing of the acquisition wasn't ideal given the impending CEO transition, the acquisition secures the financial stability of Microsoft's most important mobile OEM partner and preserves a mobile option for the new CEO. Microsoft may need a strong mobile play to maintain the relevancy of the overall Windows franchise and Nokia could provide that path. But in the near-term, the integration of Nokia into Microsoft does represent some execution risks, which leaves us cautious.
A middle way, if you will, would be for Microsoft to simply borrow against its offshore cash balance, or take a tax hit, and ramp up its dividend and buybacks, as a short-term way to mollify investors:
MSFT has grown its net cash balance from $38.6B in FY10 to ~$76.7B in net cash as of 1FQ14, despite returning ~$61B over the same period. While MSFT's cash balance is high and cash flow generation is robust, ~90% of MSFT's cash is held offshore and not available for capital allocation purposes without a US tax impact. With interest rates at ~1%, it may make more sense to either: 1) take the tax hit, repatriate cash and increase the buyback and/or dividend or 2) increase leverage and ramp buybacks/dividends [...] While MSFT's EPS would take a one-time hit [under repatriation] due to the tax payment and lower interest income, EPS would move materially higher after Year 1, driving 10% upside to our FY16 base case EPS. If Microsoft repatriated 100% of its offshore cash and repurchased shares, FY16 EPS estimate would move >20% higher than our base case.
Weiss lays out the math of a repatriation of Microsoft's cash (click for larger image):
Microsoft shares today are down 14 cents, or 0.4%, at $36.75.
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM) are up 16 cents, at $73.54, and Nokia (NOK) stock is up down 8 cents, or 1%, at $7.84, after both stocks were picked by Citigroup's Ehud Gelblum as buys in his initiation of coverage of telecommunications-related names yesterday afternoon.
Perhaps holding back Nokia this morning is that Matthew Hoffman of Mizuho Equity Research also penned his own initiation report on the stock this morning, assigning a Neutral rating and an $8 price target, and writing that the shares are fully valued at present.
BlackBerry (BBRY), one of Gelblum's Sell-rated names, is down 2 cents at $5.95.
Praise continues to flow for the 3-D printing group. Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co. this morning initiates shares of 3D Systems (DDD), Stratasys (SSYS), and ExOne (XONE) with Buy ratings, while assigning Voxeljet (VJET) and Arcam (AMAVF) Hold ratings.
Writes Misek, "We believe 3D printing will create long-term value by revolutionizing mass manufacturing, but will take some time to develop."
"We see near-term growth being driven by prototyping, which is expanding from industrial into broader enterprise applications." Misek assigns a target of $102 to 3D Systems, $155 to Stratasys, and $72 to ExOne, and a $40 target to Voxeljet, and a target of 1,150 Swedish Kroner to shares of Arcam.
The stocks are mixed this morning, with 3D Systems and Voxeljet trading down and Stratasys and ExOne trading up.
Voxeljet gets a mixed review, too, from Battle Road Research, in their IPO monthly review this morning. The firm notes Voxeljet is more of a niche player by dint of its products for customers "with large build requirements." Battle Road puts the valuation in the bottom half of stocks reviewed in terms of desirability because of the high multiple of enterprise value to sales, 17 times.
The Street continues to ponder the implications of Apple (AAPL) having possibly closed a deal to sell the iPhone through China Mobile (CHL). Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein Research reiterates an Outperform rating on the shares, and a $600 price target, writing that China Mobile might add 15 million units to Apple's iPhone total in the first 12 months of an agreement. He sees Apple adding $9 billion in revenue and $3 per share in EPS as a result, though he wonders how much the sales will be "incremental" and how much will steal from China Telecom (CHA) and China Unicom (CHU).
John Donovan and Steve Mullane at BlueFin Research Partners estimate Apple can sell 195 million units of the iPhone in calendar 2014, with the contribution of an additional 20 million units through China Mobile. The authors think there may be upside to iPod and Mac sales if they are pulled along by Chinese iPhone purchases.
Speaking of Apple, Christopher Caso with Susquehanna Financial Group, who has a "Positive" rating on the shares, writing that trips through Asia last week included talks with supply chain parties that suggest build plans for the iPhone 5C model have been cut further than he'd previously seen, and that the cuts have accelerated. He thinks production for this quarter of all iPhone models may be 45 million, below his prior 50 million estimate.
Apple shares today are up $2.45, or 0.4%, at $568.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are down 39 cents, or 1%, at $37.72, following a report by The Verge's Tom Warren stating the company is considering giving away for free its Windows Phone and Windows RT operating system software, citing multiple unnamed sources. The move is characterized by Warren as an attempt to make an end-run around Google's (GOOG) freely available Android software.
Also last night, Warren wrote in a separate item that the Nokia handset unit, which Microsoft is acquiring, is working on a phone running Android, code-named "Normandy."
Also this morning, Microsoft's Xbox team announced the Xbox One, which went on sale Black Friday in the U.S., has sold more than 2 million units after about two and a half weeks on sale, a record for the platform.
And in case you missed it, Bloomberg's Tim Culpan this morning reports that Foxconn Technology Group, which manufacturers parts for Apple, among others, is staring an investment fund of $6.8 million to develop wearable technology, citing two unnamed sources.
Shares of Electronics Arts (EA) are down down $1.09, or almost 5%, at $21.26, following an article yesterday by gaming news site IGN's Mitch Dyer that said an EA development studio, DICE, will halt future game projects until it straightens out a thicket of problems with the recently released "Battlefield 4" combat game.
IGN has chronicled a series of issues with the title since EA released it last month for Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 4 and Microsoft 's (MSFT) Xbox. Yesterday, Dyer wrote that an EA representative said DICE is "not moving onto future projects … until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4."
In a note to clients this morning, Pacific Crest's Evan Wilson reiterated a Sector Perform rating on EA shares, writing that the problems have injured the value of the Battlefield franchise, and introduced risk to Street estimates for EA next year, writing that the whole matter "puts a Battlefield game next year at risk, especially after management hedging on the subject at recent investor conferences."
No 'Battlefield' puts F2015 estimates at risk. The biggest difference between the Street's $1.50 F2015 EPS estimate and our $1.10 is whether there is a Battlefield game next year. If there is no big DICE game in the year, we think EPS growth from EA is unlikely. Cobbling together small titles does not fill the profitability hole from a big game. The value of 'Battlefield' has declined. The disappointing launch this year from initial sales quantities, to reviews, to glitches has lessened the value of the Battlefield franchise and the probability that it can indeed knock Call of Duty off its perch. It also puts into question EA's decision to standardize on the Frostbite engine.
However, Piper Jaffray's Michael Olson a short while ago stepped up to defend the stock, reiterating an Overweight rating, and a $33 price target, writing that "While EA has never confirmed timing of BF5, we believe the company has split development into two teams working on annualizing the Battlefield franchise and we have a high degree of confidence that BF5 will ship in FY15."
Investors shouldn't take the EA comments about DICE too literally, writes Olson, and anyway, there are a lot of game titles to look forward to:
BF4 developer DICE has been quoted as saying it is "not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4." We believe EA is projecting the message that they will do everything possible to get the issues fixed quickly, but this does not literally mean developers are being pulled from other projects [...] We would agree that ultimately the BF4 game engine needs to be repaired in order for BF5 to operate glitch free when released, but that should have no material impact on the ongoing development of BF5, which, if available in FY15, likely would not launch for another ~10 months, providing time for the engine to be repaired [...] FIFA World Cup, Dragon Age Inquisition, The Sims 4 and, we believe, a Battlefield 5 title will launch during EA's fiscal '15. For sake of conservatism, given BF5 has not been confirmed, we only assume 10m BF5 units in FY15 (vs. estimated 13m for BF4 in FY12). In our view, adding up reasonable sell-through for these titles provides evidence to believe FY15 revenue of >$4.3b is achievable (street consensus currently $4.2b).
Microsoft (MSFT) shares today closed down 14 cents, or 0.4%, at $38.31, despite news the company was the champ over Black Friday in video game console sales as the Xbox One went on sale. A dismal report about the PC outlook from IDC last night likely did not help the shares.
Analyst Yun Kim of Janney Capital Markets today was not impressed by the Xbox one achievement. Kim reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares, and a $34 "fair value" estimate, writing that "Until there are signs that MSFT can innovate and successfully execute in the post-PC era, we expect the stock to languish at current levels."
Kim models sales of 3 million units of Xbox One this quarter, and 3.5 million of the older Xbox 360 model, writing that the company's announcement it sold 1 million units in the first 24 hours the device was on sale means the company is "on track to meet our forecast."
Elsewhere, Oppenheimer & Co.'s semiconductor analyst Rick Schafer today sent a brief item to clients discussing what is being called Microsoft's attempt to "blur the lines" between the Xbox, traditional Windows-based PCs, and the Windows Phone Mobile platform that runs on smartphones.
That project, called "Threshold," was detailed in an article yesterday by ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, who writes that come the spring, Threshold will simultaneously update all three operating systems so as to "advance them in a way to share even more common elements," citing multiple unnamed sources, who in turn referenced an internal email from Microsoft veep Terry Myerson.
The OSes share a common Windows NT code base. While the OSes would not be merged, a common toolset for the three would be offered to developers, she relates. Users would also get a more uniform set of services across platforms, such as document creation via Microsoft Office.
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $8.99, or 1.6%, at $560.22, after UBS's Steve Milunovich raised his rating on the stock to Buy from Neutral, and raised his price target to $650 from $540. Milunovich writes that he had downgraded International Business Machines (IBM) and Accenture (ACN) because of the threat that cloud computing will eat into both companies' enterprise fiefdoms. But he calls Apple "the uncloud company," by which he means that the company is actually "on the right side" of the cloud computing trend, as it is "mostly benefitting from social, mobile, analytics, cloud (SMAC) technologies," and that he sees "institutional money moving back into Apple in 2014."
Milunovich was on CNBC this morning, and David Faber asked him about Carl Icahn's push for a bigger buyback through a massive tender offer. Milunovich said he thinks the company won't do anything early in 2014 to expand the buyback, perhaps later in the year.
Part of Milunovich's newfound enthusiasm is a renewed sense of optimism about a deal for the iPhone with China Mobile (CHL), which he thinks may be announced in the next few weeks. On that score, last night there was a brief item by Fortune's Philip Elmer-Dewitt pointing out that a subsidiary of China Mobile in the Chinese city of Suzhou posted an advertisement online for pre-orders of the iPhone 5S and 5C. "It was the first concrete evidence that a distribution deal — six years in the making — between Apple and the world's largest mobile carrier has been consummated," writes Elmer-DeWitt.
Today's action also follows last night's news that Apple has purchased social media analysis software maker Topsy Labs for $200 million.
OCZ collapses
Shares of OCZ (OCZ), the defunct flash-memory storage vendor, continue to plunge today, down 5 cents, or 19%, at 21 cents, reversing yesterday's big 60% jump, after the company said last night Toshiba (6502JP) will buy its solid-state drive assets out of bankruptcy.
Microsoft, Xbox and the PC
Microsoft (MSFT) turns out to have been the champ this past Black Friday shopping frenzy, reports The Wall Street Journal's Ian Sherr, writing last night that the Xbox One game console, which went on sale last Friday, was half of all console sales at big retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores and Target, vastly outperforming Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 4, citing data from market research firm InfoScout.
See also Bloomberg's Takashi Amano and Cliff Edwards piece this morning on the bleak outlook for Nintendo (7974JP), which may not make its target for sales this fiscal year of 9 million "Wii U" units. "They steadfastly refuse to consider that the product is not interesting to consumers," Wedbush's Michael Pachter is quoted as saying.
Despite the champion Black Friday status, Microsoft shares are not taking a victory lap this morning. The stock is down 9 cents at $38.36. Perhaps because some of the focus today is on last night's dispatch from IDC, which announced that it forecasts a 10% drop in PC shipments this year, the worst decline ever, and a 3.8% decline next year.
IDC claims "Interest in PCs has remained limited." Of course, such a view is not necessarily new. Even slightly-better-than-expected Q3 PC numbers reported on October 9th by IDC, and by Gartner, were fairly terrible, and presaged a decline this year and next. And Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has indicated it expects declines in shipments this year and next of about 10%.
But the IDC numbers have circulated in various outlets this morning, including a piece by The Financial Times's Hannah Kuchler.
Intel tablet prospects questioned
Also taking it on the chin in the PC market today is Intel (INTC), whose shares are down 5 cents at $23.65. DigiTimes's Monica Chen and Joseph Tsai report that Intel may only ship 30 million processors into tablet computers in 2014, below the company's own forecast of 40 million, citing unnamed sources in the "supply chain."
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich predicted two weeks ago, at the company's analyst day meeting, that Intel will fare much better in tablet chips in 2014 than it has to date. But the authors write that demand for Intel's "Bay Trail" tablet processors has not been as strong as expected.
Micron's structural advantage
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) are up 30 cents, or 1.4%, at $21.57, after Needham & Co.'s Rajvindra Gill initiated coverage of the shares this morning with a Buy rating and a $30 price target, writing that while he's "late to the 'party' (stock is +240% YTD), we argue that the next chapter in the story is multiple expansion." Gill notes the P/E multiple fell by 44% this year, and it may expand in 2014, writing "we highlight the consolidation in the HDD market as a case study on multiple expansion and believe it sheds light on Micron's future."
Cowen & Co.'s Rob Stone this morning initiates coverage of Voxx International (VOXX), the Hauppage, New York-based owner of the Audiovox, RCA, and other brands, with an Outperform rating, and a $21 price target. Stone writes, "VOXX is a play on three CE segments, automotive electronics, premium audio, and consumer accessories. After a flattish year in F14E, sales growth should accelerate from F15 (Feb) toward high-single digits by F16E as it exits lower margin segments and new products and OEM programs launch."
Voxx shares are up 45 cents, or 2.7%, at $17.45.
Shares of Rackspace Hosting (RAX) are down $2.51, or 7%, at $34.99, following word this morning Google (GOOG) intends to cut prices for various cloud computing offerings by 10% to as much a 60%.
Wells Fargo's Gray Powell, who has an Outperform rating on Rackspace shares, writes that "While a 60% price cut on high end storage looks very bad we would simply note that these headlines can often be very misleading. The compute component of a cloud offering is typically the bulk (75%+) of a customers' bill and a 10% price reduction on compute is somewhat normal for the space."
"Ultimately," writes Powell, "we think everyone is chasing AWS which based on its latest earnings report appears to be running at $3.0B+ in revenue and growing north of 60%/yr. In fact, if we add up Azure, Google, IBM and RAX cloud revenue AWS is larger than all combined."
I hope all of you tuning in from the U.S. had a happy and restful Thanksgiving holiday, assuming you were able to take the time off.
And now…
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
The folks over at International Business Machines (IBM) have dispatched their tally of shopping trends on this Black Friday, as usual. The firm finds that online sales on Thanksgiving, up 19.7% versus the year-ago period, with a big spike starting at 8 pm, Eastern time, last night. The IBM data also shows that users of Apple's (AAPL) iOS on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad) were 21% of total online sales, four times as much as devices running Google's (GOOG) Android.
The shortened holiday shopping season meant some stores were open for the first time this year on Thanksgiving itself. An article this morning by Dhanya Skariachan, Phil Wahba, Beth Pinsker, Marina Lopes, and Lisa Baertlein, relates that Macy's was packed last night, but that "many shoppers were being careful and being only one or two items."
Speaking of Apple, the company announced discounts for Black Friday for the European market, but in the U.S. and other markets, it is instead offering "gift cards" one can use to spend at the Apple store, instead of actually lowering prices.
Speaking even further of Apple, the Financial Times's Tim Bradshaw this morning writes that Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox One game console is beating Apple at being the media center for the home. Apple is also being left in the dust in the race for the TV by Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 4, Google's "Chromecast," and other gadgets.
Shares of Apple are up $4.83, or 0.9%, at $550.79, this morning.
Shares of flash-based solid-state drive maker OCZ Technology Group (OCZ), which Wednesday said it intends to sell its assets to Toshiba in a bankruptcy procedure, are down a another 2 cents, or 21%, today, at 13 cents. The stock at one time traded as high as $10.94.
Shares of security technology firm Fortinet (FTNT) are down $2.51, or 13%, at $17.13, after the company announced Wednesday after the close that its CFO, Ahmed Rubaie, will step down for personal reasons, being replaced on an interim basis by the company's controller, Nancy Bush, while Fortinet seeks a permanent replacement. CEO Ken Xie thanks Rubaie for his service.
William Blair's Jonathan Ho this morning reiterates an Outperform rating on Fortinet shares, writing that he is "disappointed" by Rubaie's leaving, as the executive had contributed a lot to fixing company credibility on the Street. But "Our discussions with management indicate the reasons for departure are not related to financial reporting disputes," he adds, and Fortinet's main strength is the quality of its products, he believes.
Speaking of enterprise networking and security, Brian White with Cantor Fitzgerald this morning pounds the table in favor of shares of F5 Networks (FFIV), whose stock has been lackluster even after the company set a new $300 million buyback authorization earlier this week. " He thinks a turnaround is coming. "Softness in F5′s product sales has been a major concern amongst investors."
"After two consecutive quarters in negative territory, the product sales cycle returned to growth in 4Q:FY13 (albeit up just 1% YoY). Our model suggests the product sales cycle at F5 hit a trough in 2Q:FY13 and will reach double digit percentage growth in 2Q:FY14."
Wunderlich's Blake Harper, who recently started coverage of Twitter (TWTR) with a Sell rating, this morning points out in a note to clients that the lock-up on underwriters expires on Monday, and so "we would expect new initiation reports and estimates to be introduced next week."
He observes that before the IPO, "analysts at the underwriting banks had, on average, revenue estimates that are now 11% below FY14 consensus and 30% below FY15 consensus."
"This should make it interesting to see if they support higher estimates and price targets given current valuation and post-IPO pop.
Twitter shares this morning are up 31 cents, or 0.8%, at $41.21.
Bloomberg's Dina Bass and Carol Hymowitz yesterday wrote that Microsoft's (MSFT) board of directors is focusing its considerations for the next CEO on Ford's (F) Alan Mulally, and on Microsoft's Satya Nadella, who runs the company's enterprise products and cloud computing efforts, citing multiple unnamed sources. Microsoft shares today are up 58 cents, or 1.5%, at $38.18.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are up 31 cents, or 0.8%, at $37.66, after Evercore Partners's Kirk Materne reiterated an Overweight rating on the shares, and raised his price target to $45 from $40, writing that the shares have upside regardless of whether or not investors' top choice to succeed Steve Ballmer as CEO, Ford's (F) Alan Mulally, actually gets the job.
"Even incremental adjustments to the cost structure and continued growth in the commercial businesses are enough to keep the stock on an upward trajectory given Microsoft's dividend yield (~3%) and valuation (13x CY15 EPS)," he writes.
"it is clear to us that the majority of investors would like to see Alan Mulally take on the role" of CEO, writes Materne, "with either Tony Bates or Satya Nadella groomed as his ultimate successor," referring to Microsoft's executive VP of business development, and its head of cloud computing, respectively.
Even without Mulally, the next CEO will inherit "two significant cloud businesses," namely "Azure," the company's platform-as-a-service computing service, and Office 365, the hosted version of Microsoft Office, he writes. The cloud business could pay off for Microsoft in a big way in emerging markets:
While there has been some modest progress in terms of curbing piracy in emerging markets, we believe by delivering Office as-a-service, MSFT might be able to significantly improve its overall attach rate in these countries. Keep in mind that Google (one of Microsoft's key competitors in the SaaS-based office productivity space) does not operate in China, so this is a fairly wide open market opportunity. Based on the piracy statistics from BSA above (~15% in China; $9bn out of global total of $63bn), if one were to assume that the 'attach' rates in emerging markets for Office against emerging market PC sales improved by 5% – even when discounting the lowest pricing option for Office 365 by 50% - this would result in an incremental revenue opportunity of ~$500m. While this might not seem like a large figure vs. Microsoft's overall revenue, to the extent Microsoft can lock in emerging market customers on one cloud service, there will be opportunities to upsell them additional services via Azure (SharePoint, Exchange, SQL Server etc.) that could lead to
growing ARPU's in countries that were historically very challenging to monetize [...] MSFT has been traditionally IP-challenged in China, but we believe the move to cloud services could help Microsoft better monetize its offerings in that region going forward. While largely overlooked by investors, last November 2012, MSFT and 21Vianet Group (the largest and fastest growing carrier-neutral Internet data center services provider in China, as ranked by IDC research) signed a strategic partnership agreement to expand Microsoft's commercial cloud services – Office 365 and Azure – into China. The two companies launched the public preview for Azure in June 2013 and for Office 365 in August [...] 21Vianet has invested heavily to establish a devoted team and the infrastructure to service the new platform. According to management commentary on its earnings call, the company believes the rollout of a cloud platform with MSFT will add another important pillar to its overall growth, providing meaningful revenue acceleration and margin expansion.
The shift to the cloud means that earnings per share will remain subdued as Microsoft invests in that cloud business, and as it also absorbs the losses of Nokia's (NOK) handset business, which it is buying for $7 billion. But over time, cloud computing will reach a stable, ratable subscription revenue stream, he writes. Meantime, the expectations for the consumer side of Microsoft's business are so low, "if MSFT can simply stabilize spending and see modest success in the consumer market, the upside opportunity outweighs the downside risk." Most of Microsoft's profit — 75% to 80% — is from the commercial side, not the consumer, he notes.
"Furthermore, as Microsoft's commercial business continues to become more ratable, we believe that our valuation assumptions for this business could push higher as this part of the business could call for a multiple more in line with business services companies (mid to high teens) vs. other license/hardware based enterprise technology companies (low-teens)."
Materne offers a revised sum-of-the-parts model, adding "almost any progress on the consumer business could lead to some potential upside in both our EPS and multiple assumptions":
In contrast to a note earlier this week from Nomura Equity Research's Rick Sherlund, arguing for a sale of the Xbox video game console business, Materne believes that even with negative profit margin in hardware, Microsoft has a reason to hold onto this and other hardware offerings:
The Xbox is clearly a key part of Microsoft's broader strategy of building a presence in the consumers' living room and we believe the integration between Xbox and other Microsoft services/devices such as Skype and Windows Mobile makes a lot of sense as Microsoft attempts to rebuild some brand recognition among consumers. Given that Xbox is a
'razor/blade' model for MSFT, we view a strong launch as a positive for the company longer-term, but any economic benefit from the Xbox One will be more of a FY15 event as consumers continue to buy additional games/services for their systems.

Hogan Loves Holloway-------
After three seasons of collaborating with Katie Grand on capsule collections, Hogan has changed things up. Simon Holloway has been hired away from Jimmy Choo to design not just the shoes and bags that are the core of the Diego Della Valle-owned brand, but also a full line of ready-to-wear. Leather, naturally, was the core of the offering. Holloway had a good-looking oversize biker jacket and a cashmere fur chubby that keyed into one of the season's big trends. But maybe his best idea was to tap his pal, the artist Julie Verhoeven, to design clever prints. The only thing happening more than shaggy fur for Fall—at least in Milan—might just be whimsical prints. Verhoeven followed Holloway's lead, sketching mechanic's tools and a greasy handprint motif for floaty chiffon dresses that evoked vintage Ossie Clark. So, will artist collaborations become a signature of the new Hogan? Holloway demurred. "I don't have enough artist friends." But here's something you should expect: Hogan runway shows, maybe as soon as September.
Fit for a Queen-------
Fashion Rules—a new exhibition at London's Kensington Palace showcasing twenty-one gowns once worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, and Princess Diana—provides a peek at the royals' wardrobes. "These three women were perhaps the most high-profile dressers of their time," offered the show's curator, Cassie Davies-Strodder. "Whatever they wore was photographed by international press and seen worldwide. The influence they had on fashion was bar none, and from a historical perspective, we felt it was critical to highlight that." Now open to the public, the show comes before the much-anticipated September release of Oliver Hirschbiegel's Diana biopic, in which Naomi Watts stars as the People's Princess.
Sponsored by Estée Lauder, the exhibition's opening party was held on Thursday evening at the Palace (once home to Queen Victoria, Princess Diana, and now the Duchess of Cambridge and Wills). And while the historic home's new renovations—including a majestic stone hall with a thoroughly modern blue light sculpture by Loop.pH, quirky wallpaper boasting illustrations of Diana by artist Julie Verhoeven, and brick walls adorned with Mario Testino-lensed portraits of Princess Di—nearly overshadowed the dresses, several stood out. Key pieces include a gold caftan and turban worn by the party-loving Princess Margaret for a fete in Mustique (above), five gowns worn by the Queen in the fifties (below), and several Bruce Oldfield looks for Princess Diana. Oldfield himself was in attendance, joined by Poppy Delevingne, Tali Lennox, Minnie Driver, and Mr. Selfridge's Jeremy Piven. Designers Manolo Blahnik, Erdem Moralioglu, Richard Nicoll, Henry Holland, and Marios Schwab also stopped by to survey the scene. Continue Reading "Fit for a Queen" »
AG Denim, Hollywood-Style-------
As stylist to some of Hollywood's best-dressed starlets, Cher Coulter has made a name for herself by understanding her clients' unique looks. Such was the reason that AG chose her to launch their debut Stylist Series—four capsule collections of jeans inspired by the actresses on her roster. "I work with fashion girls, so I wanted to carve out different personalities," Coulter said of the design opportunity. "I am a celebrity fashion stylist, but hopefully I have different heads for different people. I'm not just a one-trick pony."
For The Classic, Coulter was inspired by A.P.C. denim. "I turned to Françoise Hardy and the beat generation in late sixties Paris," she said. They're perfect for a young ingenue like Lizzie Olsen. The Eclectic is inspired by an artistic, bohemian girl, along with illustrations by Julie Verhoeven, who taught Coulter when she studied at Central Saint Martins in London. "She's more of your model off duty," she said of this second collection, which calls to mind Kate Bosworth. Coulter went back to London for The Rocker, taking cues from Balmain's embellished jeans. A rockabilly vibe and darker colors toughened up the denim, which is just what you'd find on Coulter client Nicole Richie. And rounding out the series is The Bombshell, full of sexy, second-skin wares. "This girl was really influenced by nineties supermodels—statuesque women who weren't afraid to wear really tight, skinny, high-waisted jeans." They're exactly what you'd expect to see on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Indeed, the capsules offer a diverse range of cuts, washes, and treatments, each of which befit AG but also speak to Coulter's range and influence.
At London's MAN Day, A Dance With Decadence And Repentance-------
Jo-Ann Furniss reports on the highs and lows of London fashion week's dedicated menswear day.
Fat Tuesday swiftly followed by Ash Wednesday, excess followed by penance. London fashion week's MAN Day had the luck to fall on the latter this season. After the heady womenswear week closing on Tuesday, was it the turn of the sackcloth and ashes of menswear for Wednesday? Not quite; there were still some traces of carnival in the first day of Lent, even if at times they looked like the discarded remnants.
Earlier in the week, knit line Sibling's carnival-referencing women's collection, Sister, had been presented, alongside a few looks from the men's—it made their best outing yet. But for the full men's presentation on MAN Day, the party was over: Designers Joe Bates, Sid Bryan, and Cozette McCreery created an installation (pictured, above) in the form of a prison visiting room with a clever film by Sam Renwick and Thomas Bryant. It was in the shape of a triptych echoing the visiting booths, complete with telephone connections to the sound. "It's where a matriarch might visit a son. Or vice versa," Bates said. Yet the clothes were still their bright, excessive selves even behind bars. Called Marked Man, with designs based partly on prison tattoos, there was as much of the matriarch in the collection as there was the jailbird. An institutional bright orange was combined with pink ocelot spots in a men's twinset. Their signature Fair Isle knits were further warped with the seamless addition of a skull with pompom ears blended into the traditional patterns. (It reflected the pompom-decorated full face masks and beanies also on view.) At once sinister and sweet, carnivalesque and penitential, there was something quite Leigh Bowery and Trojan in these proceedings that felt very true to the spirit of London. At the same time, Sibling's output is so accomplished as to hold a global audience with ease.
Christopher Shannon's catwalk was the first thing you noticed at his show. The brilliant backdrop was by the all-round creative and too-many-credits-to-mention Julie Verhoeven. "Creatively, I trust her implicitly," said Shannon backstage. "I did want that inside of a Hoover bag vibe." That's certainly what he got. The set featured old tires, strewn pink net curtains with bricks caught in them, abandoned foil balloons in the shape of love hearts, and the bottom half of a female shop dummy, among other violent after-party detritus. At their best, the clothes and accessories had something of this random perversity, too; a broderie anglaise shirt with a ruffled back, a jacket covered in the designer's swing tags, and a rucksack decorated with innumerable key rings. "We started excessive and pared back," said the designer, yet there was maybe a bit too much paring back or, ultimately, the simple color palette of navy, white, sand, and black was a little too conservative or too flat to really help make some of the interesting points he was driving at.

Wikiquote Quotes: Kanye West
"Odio la forma en que nos retratan en los medios. Ves una familia negra; dice «Están saqueando». Ves una familia blanca; dice «Están buscando comida.» Y, sabes, han sido cinco días porque la mayoría de la gente son negros. E incluso para mí que me quejo de eso; sería un hipócrita porque he intentado apartarme de la televisión porque es demasiado duro de ver. Incluso he ido de compras antes de hacer una donación, así que ahora voy a llamar a mi administrador de negocios justo ahora para ver cuál es la mayor cantidad que puedo dar, y sólo por pensar que yo estuviera allí, y esos de ahí abajo fueran mi gente... Así que cualquiera ahí fuera que quiera hacer cualquier cosa en la que podamos ayudar - de la forma que América está dispuesta a ayudar a los pobres, a los negros, a los menos favorecidos, tan despacio como sea posible. Quiero decir... la Cruz Roja está haciendo todo lo que puede. Ya nos damos cuenta de que un montón de gente que podría ayudar está en la guerra ahora mismo, luchando de otra manera - y les han dado permiso para bajar y dispararnos."

In addition to being among the first dancehall artists to go international, Shabba Ranks is famous for his flashy outfits, typically involving an extensive array of gold accoutrements. A fellow admirer of element number 79 on the periodic table, A$AP Ferg channels the Kingston icon's fly fashion sense, along with a dash of his vocal delivery, on his latest single selection. Over a booming, tension-fraught instrumental by Modern Outfit beatsmith Snugworth, the emcee busts out his best fake patois as he boasts about his wardrobe and his "coupe full of bad hoes." A$AP capo Rocky guests, toasting his success and shouting-out the (myriad) women in his life on verse two. Fans will be able to find Shabba and many more bangers on RCA debut album Trap Lord, scheduled to hit record stores and online retailers Tuesday, September 20.

Beautiful day!
What a glorious day it was today....the weather so nice and mild, not too hot or too cool. Too bad it can't be this great every day! I spent most of it outside in the garden, weeding and harvesting herbs, mostly basil. I hung a lot of it to dry, and some went into the oven on 170 for a speedier dry! Gathered lots of seed as well......mostly different varieties of basil....and the neverending hyacinth bean and lavender moonflower! It's been a great year for those, and I am having a sale in the localharvest store, buy one get one free, in case you need either of those. So very blessed to have spent the day working and relaxing in the yard. Happy Fall Ya'll! debbie

"It's a lot of DDP Yoga and gym work and eating right and staying in shape. My mind has also been right for the last five-and-a-half years being clean and sober from drugs and alcohol. So I think all those things played a big factor in this. Being able to do stuff that I've never done and wanting to try new things and having the young talent that's actually hungry and help me get through that and make it look good. I've got some new moves in my arsenal, and the people love it. This new attitude and new Goldust they've never seen with new face paint. I couldn't have asked for anything. This run has been great."
- Goldust crediting Diamond Dallas Page and sobriety
Kharma has been focusing much more on her health than she has at any point during her professional wrestling career, as the former TNA knockout is now doing the yoga program created by Diamond Dallas Page. She has lost a considerable amount of weight since leaving WWE.
"One time, and this is a true story, we were in South Africa and [Cena] started battle rapping. He started rapping with someone and it was awesome. He went five minutes just talking about things around the room. And we were like, 'Oh my gosh. Where did that come from?' Tommy Dreamer heard it and Tommy took it to Shane McMahon and Shane McMahon heard it and took it to Vince McMahon and next thing you know he's a rapper on TV…and he had already been with us six months or so. Slowly but surely he just became John Cena the superstar."
- Tommy Dreamer telling a backstage story
Another person that has been gaining some power backstage in TNA is Taz. Aside from being the voice of Impact Wrestling, he also has been helping out with the creative department. Taz was also instrumental in the return of Tommy Dreamer to the front office.
While he made his return to the company in a full time capacity recently, Tommy Dreamer has no plans on wrestling all that frequently for TNA. He is simply there to work backstage as an agent. Dreamer also mentioned that he was open to more responsibilities within the promotion.
Within the industry, Jeff Jarrett is viewed as someone that has a great sense of business and is quite versatile, so when he opted to leave TNA, Dixie Carter decided to replace him with someone similiar. Tommy Dreamer is now filling the role once held by Jarrett.

Water Polo Splits, to Play for Fifth Place at Southerns
Little Nets Five as Colonials Split Pair of One-Goal Contests
Nov. 6, 2010
ANNAPOLIS, MD - Sixth-seeded George Washington's men's water polo team battled through a pair of one-goal contests Saturday, falling to third-seeded Johns Hopkins, 9-8, before topping seventh-seeded Gannon, 8-7, to advance to the fifth-place game of the CWPA Southern Division Championship.
No. 6 seed GW (9-19) will now face either No. 5 seed Mercyhurst or No. 8 seed Washington & Jefferson in the fifth-place game of Southerns Sunday at 12:30 pm.
GW took an early one goal lead, but Johns Hopkins rattled off three unanswered goals and hung on late for a 9-8 triumph over the Colonials in Saturday's most important contest.
After falling behind 3-1 after a quarter, the Colonials battled back to 5-4 at the half and 7-7 after three quarters, but the Blue Jays grabbed a 9-8 edge in the final stanza and ran off the final 45 seconds to hang on.
Senior Peter Thomas and freshman Nate Little tallied two goals apiece to pace GW, with sophomores Guy Helman and John Paul Bezerra and rookies Paul Deasey and Daniel Tyner each adding a goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Cameron Illes made 12 saves, including a pair of five-meter penalty stops.
GW converted 3-of-10 man-up chances, while Hopkins turned in 3-of-7 opportunities in what proved to be the difference in the contest.
The Colonials jumped ahead to a 7-4 cushion after 24 minutes and held on for an 8-7 victory over the Golden Knights in Saturday's late contest.
Little tallied a hat trick and Tyner added a goal before being rolled in the final quarter, when GW managed to thwart a Gannon rally for the one-goal triumph. Deasey netted two goals and Helman scored once, while Illes totaled nine saves.
No. 3 seed JOHNS HOPKINS 9, No. 6 seed GW 8
GW goals: Little 2, Thomas 2, Bezerra, Deasey, Tyner, Helman
No. 6 seed GW 8, No. 7 GANNON 7
GW goals: Little 3, Deasey 2, Tyner, Helman

So we've all read about, maybe even participated in "Caliber wars" both online and in person. The day before yesterday, a salesman spewed the same stuff to my wife, trying to talk her into moving from a 9mm to a .45 cal. When we got in the car, I told her that he was full of it. Today, after reading a few other things, I came upon a post in another forum that made me reassess "Best Caliber." I've had a few people talk to me about buying handguns, and I want to make sure I give them good information. So, as I'm thinking about it, here's my answer to "Best Caliber." I want to know what you all think, and what you would add to it.
"Best Caliber" (BC) and "One-Shot Stopping Power" (OSSP) for caliber and round are really worthless ideas, because it is dependent on so many other factors. Here's what you need to think about.
1. A Center of Mass (CoM) shot is always better than a grazing shot to the ribs. If you can't get a good comfortable grip on your weapon, or it's too heavy, bulky, etc., then the caliber doesn't matter, that gun in that caliber is a bad caliber for you, and it will have very low OSSP.
2. If you can't control the recoil, then the likelihood that you're going to get a second shot off in time is vastly diminished. One-shot stops are as much a fiction of Hollywood as anything else. It's far more likely that you're going to pull the trigger multiple times. So the BC for any one person is a weapon that he or she can reestablish aim at CoM and pull the trigger again, fast. (They can figure out if their gun is "pushing" or "snapping," so I don't need to go into that, I think).
3a. It is true that a bigger wound path will do more damage. So the highest caliber that you can handle is the BC for you. However, "handle" also means that you are able to deal with kick both physically (see #2), and also mentally. So if you can handle say, a .40 physically, but for some reason you continue to anticipate the kick and just can't train yourself out of it, then a .40 still isn't the BC for you.
3b. If you find yourself in a situation like 3a, make sure you look around for other models in that caliber. For instance, the XD40SC has less kick than a Glock 27, even their both subcompact .40's. Try both, and see if you can control one better than the other. For some, the slight size difference between the two will make a difference, for others, the kick will make a difference.
3c. Different rounds produce different amounts of kick. Experiment with some different JHP rounds, but remember, it's always better to use the same JHP rounds that the local or state police use.*
4a. The gun has to be comfortable to shoot, but also comfortable to carry. If it's not the first, then you won't shoot it often and thus, not gain the familiarity you need with it. If it's not the second, there's a good chance you'll find reasons to leave it at home, or leave it in the car, or in your purse (if you're a woman). A Desert eagle is a bad caliber and has no OSSP if it's left at home, or if your purse is taken from you.
4b. (EDITED IN) Another element of being familiar with your gun is putting bullets down range. If you can't afford to practice shooting a .50 cal because the rounds are too expensive, then don't buy a .50 cal. (of course, this is a generalization, since it's pretty dang near impossible to afford any target practice rounds right now!)
5. So - the conclusion is, the "Best Caliber" for personal defense is the highest caliber that is fun to shoot, easy to carry, feels good in your hands, and easy to control. After all, it's far better to put twenty .22 bullets in a person's chest and head, than graze a person's rib cage with one .45 bullet in the same amount of time.
*Use the same Hollow Points that the LEO of your area use. This way, when you're on the stand and the over-zealous prosecutor pounds his fist into the podium and points at you, then says, "You bought 'Golden Saber' hollow points! Golden Saber, like some kind of medieval killing sword that slices through it's victims! Why did you by these? Was it your intent to be a killer?" You get to calmly answer. "No sir, I just figured that the city police department knows what's the best round in case their officers get into trouble, so I bought the same thing. That's all." Unless the prosecutor wants to then accuse the entire city police department of being killers, that line of questioning is effectively over.
Thoughts? Did I miss anything? Part of what I want to do is disarm salesmen that see people like my wife or my friend's wives that haven't been around firearms, and then try and talk them into big, powerful weapons that they can't handle.

Researchers Discover Process That Turns 'Good' Cholesterol Bad
Dysfunctional HDL promotes inflammation and coronary artery disease (January 26)
Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered the process by which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) — the so-called "good" cholesterol — becomes dysfunctional, loses its cardioprotective properties, and instead promotes inflammation and atherosclerosis. Their research was published online in Nature Medicine.
The beneficial and cardioprotective properties of HDL have been studied and reported extensively, and yet all clinical trials of pharmaceuticals designed to raise HDL levels have failed to show that they significantly improve cardiovascular health.
This disconnect, as well as recent research showing that a protein abundant in HDL is present in an oxidized form in diseased artery walls, spurred the research team to study the process by which HDL becomes dysfunctional.
Apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) is the primary protein present in HDL, providing the structure of the molecule that allows it to transfer cholesterol out of the artery wall and deliver it to the liver, from which cholesterol is excreted. The investigators discovered that in the artery wall during atherosclerosis, a large proportion of apoA1 becomes oxidized and no longer contributes to cardiovascular health, but rather, contributes to the development of coronary artery disease.
Over 5 years, the researchers developed a method for identifying dysfunctional apoA1/HDL and discovered the process by which it is oxidized and turned dysfunctional in the artery wall. They then tested the blood of 627 Cleveland Clinic cardiology patients for the dysfunctional HDL and found that higher levels raised the patients' risk for cardiovascular disease.
The research points toward new therapeutic targets for pharmaceuticals, such as those designed to prevent the formation of dysfunctional HDL and the development or progression of atherosclerosis, the authors say.

K. Sparks - Ride Wit Me (Whaddup!)
Artist: K. Sparks
Featuring: Julius Francis
Producer: Pajozo
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 25 total votes )
With his acclaimed, Booth-sponsored Super Seniors mix-album behind him, Queens emcee/master chef K. Sparks has stepped into the kitchen to cook up a mouth-watering spread of Soul Food with the help of beatsmith Pajozo. Fans will have to wait till Thanksgiving to dig into the full meal, but those already feeling peckish can take the edge off with Ride Wit Me (Whaddup!), a tantalizing morsel that didn't make the final menu. Served over Pajozo's laid-back organ-synth boardwork, Sparks' off-the-top, freestyled bars are tart with a hint of wordplay-driven punchline lyricism, and frequent collaborator Julius Francis showcases his smooth, crisp vocal stylings with a boastful guest verse (also improvised). Garnished with some hoarse, hyped-up hook vocals, this choice cut will only leave listeners hungrier for the main course. Excessive food metaphors aside, Sparks' and Pajozo's collaborative full-length is set to hit all digital retailers on November 26 – fans can rest assured it will be one delicious dish (sorry).
