The premium cable channel is one of the most valuable assets owned by Liberty (ticker: LMCA), the Englewood, Colo.-based holding company led by media maestro John Malone, who aims to complete the transaction by year end. Starz's valuation and growth prospects could improve significantly once it becomes a separate public entity. The spinoff also could unlock value at Liberty.
Spearheaded by the popularity of Spartacus, a television series about Roman gladiators, Starz increased its subscriber rolls by 9% in the latest quarter, to a record 20.8 million. Starz is worth an estimated $3 billion, or about $22 per Liberty share, a value that isn't reflected in the parent's $108-per-share stock price.
Liberty trades at a big discount to the estimated value of its portfolio of assets. That discrepancy could mean opportunity in coming months, as the company adds to some holdings and spins off others, beginning with Starz. Liberty management expects a $1.8 billion cash dividend from the spinoff, which could be used to boost other assets.
Barry Konig, a portfolio manager at Cumberland Associates, and his partner Andrew Wallach have been investing in Malone's companies for 15 years. Konig thinks the stock is worth $130 on a sum-of-the-parts basis. "We know him, like him, and trust him," he says.
Canaccord's Thomas Eagan puts the value at $125 (see table below), 16% above the current quote.

But the company's most valuable asset is Sirius XM SIRI 0.7853403141361257% Sirius XM Holdings Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD3.85 0.03 0.7853403141361257% /Date(1427922000228-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 24723275 AFTER HOURS USD3.85 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 168453 P/E Ratio 42.77777777777778 Market Cap 21321096473.1019 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1796770 More quote details and news » (SIRI), the satellite-radio operator, with 23 million subscribers. Liberty saved Sirius from a bankruptcy filing in 2009 with a $530 million loan, and received a 40% stake in return. That has grown to 49.8%, or more than $8 billion, exceeding 60% of Liberty's market value. Analysts figure Sirius is worth more than $70 per Liberty share.
A bet on Liberty in effect is a bet on Sirius, whose prospects are attractive. Barton Crockett, an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets, sees Sirius' market penetration and profit growing sharply in the next few years, as the number of cars with Sirius radio climbs to 150 million from 50 million now. Sirius shares are up 51% this year, to $2.74. Crockett thinks the stock could hit $3.50 in a year.
Liberty is awaiting regulatory approval to take full control of Sirius, which could come this year or early in 2013. It's likely to spin off Sirius, perhaps as early as next year.
LIBERTY SHAREHOLDER Ian Shaffer of Galliant Capital Management in Montreal thinks Liberty Media's shares will trade up as the company gets closer to attaining 100% of Sirius. Investors, he notes, could end up owning shares in three separate companies—Starz, Sirius and Liberty. As spinoffs increase the transparency of all three, investors are likely to accord each a higher valuation. Until then, Liberty shares are likely to sell well below net asset value because the market typically discounts holding companies, given the difficulty in assessing their varied assets.
The Bottom Line
Liberty has been penalized by Wall Street for its holding-company structure, which makes it hard to tease out asset value. Shares trade for $108 but could be worth $130.
Fueled by gains in Sirius and Barnes & Noble, Liberty Media's shares hit a 52-week high of $116 early last month and are up 38% for the year. Shares took a hit recently when the company reported mixed results for the third quarter, with revenue rising 3%, to $555 million, while operating income was flat at $111 million. For the full year, analysts expect the company to earn $940 million, or $6.91 a share. But earnings aren't the point with Malone, who for decades has structured his companies and deals to avoid taxes, making money for shareholders every step of the way.
Says Andrew Weitz of Weitz Funds, which owns several Malone-related vehicles, Liberty is best viewed as a "public private-equity fund" led by managers with a "fantastic" track record. Investing alongside them could yield handsome results once again.

Councilor Jeff Anderson, a radio man, abstained from the vote because his station advertises for Last Place on Earth, a Duluth head shop that opposed the proposed ordinance.

Cracked grout ?
Our 1600 sq ft house is about 4 yrs old. We had 12 x 12 porcelain tile installed throughout the entire house. In the last 2 years numerous cracks in the grout have occurred. In one area the edges of tiles have cracked in addition to the grout. So far we have lived with them, but now we have decided to have something done. My question is what to do? I'm not sure if putting tile in the entire house was a good idea- our decision was based on the fact that we live in the country and have a lot of red mud tracked in by our dog.
If we decide to put down carpet in the bedrooms will we have to take up the tile to have it put down - if not should we have the tile repaired before we do so (we have lots of extra tile). If we decide to get the tile repaired what can we do to make sure the grout doesn't crack again? Can another type (wood or engineered wood) floor be put on top of the tile w/o taking it up? Another issue that we have had with the floor is the grout was apparently never sealed. A lot of mystery stains have occurred in areas that are not used in the house. Any suggestions as to what to use to get rid of the stains if we decide to keep the tile and how to seal it afterwards? Thanks.
If the sub-floor is not stiff enough the movement will result in cracked grout and tiles.
The larger the tiles the stiffer the floor needs to be.
12x12 tiles should have a solid inch of wood on larger than usual joists.
Joists are usually sized to 1/360 of the span as the maximum allowed deflection, and 3/4 inch plywood (and occasionally 1/2 inch) is often used as the sub-floor.
If the joists are anywhere near the maximum allowed span for their size, and the sub-floor is only 1/2 inch cracking is very likely.
Grout and tile cracks are caused by movement in an underlying system.
It could be a missing or improperly installed backer board or membrane, an improperly installed subfloor, its underlying framing system, or your house "settling" casuing movement in underlying systems that may be caused by improperly prepared or installed footers or foundation.
There is no way to tell without physical inspection.
Any repair of only the tile/grout may be a temporary fix that may need to be addressed again at a later date.
The only wood floors you may be able to install over this as-is, is a floating system.
You should have a guarantee to your new home that is required by law in your state (usually they are 10-20 years). I would contact the state and/or the builder. They may tell you that the guarantee for the floor installation has expired, however the problem may not be with the flooring installation, unless its a missing or improperly installed backer board or membrane.
You may be able to get relief from your states contractor complainace department if they license contractors.
I fear there may be underlying problems with the construction of your home that your state, an inspector, and the builder may be better able to address.
Are you over a basement or crawl space? If so, go under the floor and see how long the joist span is under where your tile is cracking. Also measure the dimensions of the joists (e.g., 2x10) and the spacing (e.g., 16", 24" on center). You can use the JB Deflectolator (google it; GW will kill links) to see if you've got deflection within the necessary limits to support tile.
Then come back and tell us what you found. Replacing tile won't help if you don't fix the root cause that cracked it in the first place.

Oakdale couple shoots man after break-in
A husband and wife opened fire on a suspect who repeatedly tried to enter their Oakdale home as he ran from police early Wednesday, authorities said.
The suspect, identified as Albert Anthony Liberini, 27, of Modesto, suffered a gunshot wound to the torso. His injury is not believed to be life-threatening.
According to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department, the incident began about 3:30 a.m., when Modesto police found a reported stolen vehicle. When an officer tried to initiate a traffic stop, the driver of the 2001 Hyundai drove away. Police chased the car out of Modesto and into Riverbank before canceling the pursuit out of safety concerns.
Authorities later found the car off of the Oakdale Waterford Highway, just north of the Oakdale couple's home. Officials said the car had been high-centered, which means it had run over an object too large to allow the car to continue.
About 4 a.m., the man who lives at the home in the 5200 block of Oakdale Waterford Highway was awakened by a noise and found Liberini inside the house, the sheriff's office said. The man and his wife armed themselves with handguns, called 911 and confronted the suspect.
The husband ordered the suspect out of his house. The suspect went out through the back door, but came back and tried to break in through the glass in the same door, officials said. The wife fired two shots at the suspect, stopping him.
Authorities said Liberini then broke into the house through a bedroom window. The husband confronted Liberini, telling him to leave. "Liberini continued to come at the husband inside the home," the sheriff's office said in a news release. "After several commands to stop, the husband fired one shot, striking Liberini in the torso."
The couple held Liberini at gunpoint until deputies arrived and took him into custody. He was taken to an area hospital, where he underwent surgery. Upon his release, he will be booked on charges of burglary, robbery and violation of probation. He also will be charged with a bail enhancement for allegedly committing a crime while out on bail, officials said.
It is unlikely the Oakdale couple will face any charges, Sgt. Keith Rakoncza said, calling the matter a case of self-defense. The guns in the home had been obtained legally.
Liberini is on probation for possession of a controlled substance and was out on bail on a separate possession of controlled substance case.
In July, Modesto police arrested Liberini after finding him in possession of a pipe bomb in a city park. Officers said they found Liberini sleeping in blankets, surrounded by his belongings, as young children took part in a tennis lesson at nearby courts. He originally gave police a false name, police said. When officers searched his belongings, they discovered drug paraphernalia and an improvised explosive device made from a pill bottle wrapped in black tape.

your spicy seafood soup tastes too good. Could you please suggest if I could use anything else in place of galangal and sweet basil leaves, as i may not get them in my local markets. Is sweet basil different from basil?

Hi allthai, Thanks for salty and savory delicious seafood soup. It is really yummy and mouth watering recipe.

call an async method with configurable timeout and when connected if reconnect is used
perform a callback when "connected" or fire callback with timeout error if its taken too long.
the most important thing this does is provides you with the errors required to manage callback and stream disconnection in necessary ways.
this lib is generic and ensures that wrapped calls are only made when connected. these examples use multilevel a package used to interact with leveldb over the network but it is not the only reason this is useful.
var mulitlevel = require'multilevel';var reconnect = require'reconnect';var whenConnected = require'when-connected' var client;var recon = reconnect client = multilevelclient; streampipeclientpipestream; connectPORT; var get = whenConnected clientgetkeycb;reconnect:recon; var dumpDB = whenConnected return clientcreateReadStream;reconnect:reconstream:true; // get a key. get'a' console.log'get called back';; var dump = dumpDB;// output a db dump. dumpon'data' console.log'db: 'data;;
this exports one function.
whenConnectedthe function to call when connectedoptions
- reconnect
- an EventEmitter that provides two events [connect],[disconnect] and has a [connected] property which will be used to understand the inital state of the connection.
- if no reconnect is passed this will still work but about the only other useful thing it provides is timeout callbacks.
- stream
- required if the wrapped method returns a stream.
- TODO duplex. if anyone needs it.
- timeout
- optional default -1 / no timeout
- a maximum numbner of miliseconds to wait for...
- any callback method to call back
- or any stream method to get called and return a stream
- the error object will have a [code] property that equals 'E_TIMEDOUT'
- retries
- optional default 0
- the number of times the wrapped call should be retried if a 'disconnect' event is fired before the callback is complete.
- this does not increase the timeout for the call.
- if retires is exceded or not provided any disconnect while waiting for a call will callback with an E_DISCONNECT error
error objects returned by this lib all have a code proerty that is one of these values. they are either emitted as errors onn streams or passed as the error to a callback.
- the time for callback to be called excedes specified value.
- the time to get a connection to a method that returns a stream took to long to get a connection.
- a disconnect event has been fired while a callback was pending.
- a disconnect event was fired before the end event was triggered on a stream.
- a method defined as returns streams did not return a stream. this is emitted on the proxy stream you have a handle too so bind error

Visit to Martin Van Buren's Home: Lindenwald
... I am trying to remember where we saw the other servants quarters - could it have been the Gould house? There seems to be more recognition of the role the servants played in the historical sites. We were to hear and see how the Irish servant women lived in several different houses on our tour of New York.
Frederic Church's Olana
After our tour of Lindenwald, Martin Van Buren's home, we continued south to Olana, the home of Frederic Church of the Hudson River School of painters. It was rather cold and blustery so we sought refuge in the museum/office where I ran into Adrienne and Sharon of the Red Rock Circle. Vesna had tentatively ...
Glimpse of FDR and Eleanor in Hyde Park
... and Museum which is quite extensive and has engaging exhibits.
One aspect of FDR's life that was stressed was the effect of polio on him and the extent of it. He was very careful to show himself as walking even though his legs were paralyzed in order to have a chance at a political career. It also turns out that he had presidential ambitions early on. I had not been aware of that. The exhibit showcased his sweeping policies to combat ...
Tattoo convention
So the first tattoo convention we went to was in Reading pennsylvania and was a good time! The second giant one however was in Wildwood New Jersey, straight 4 hr ride and was amaing!

It's tough, getting your kids to eat healthy, good food on a regular basis. At least, that's been my experience. One of the things we've done in our family, in an effort to model good behavior and foster a sense of inclusion, is to institute a Family Dinner Night. On Family Dinner Night the kids get to pick what we eat (we have a pretty large array of cookbooks, some of which are pretty kid friendly) and help us cook it. There really is no better way to encourage children to eat than to make them part of the process.
Much has been made recently about the 'Tyranny of the Chicken Tender.' There's definitely a tendency to appeal to juvenile tastes on the part of the food industry. Kid friendly foods like chicken tenders don't have to be unhealthy or prefab, though. Recently we cooked these delightful DIY homemade chicken tenders with our kids (Ginny got the idea from a really neat Disney kids cookbook, the Disney Princess Cookbook).
They enjoyed helping crack open the eggs. Ginny started out the egg mixing process, and then my wife finished the process.
Next we dipped the chicken breast strips into the egg wash, then shook them up in a bag filled with the coating (mostly crunched up crackers, flour, a little cornmeal, paprika, parmesan cheese, pepper and garlic powder).
One spray coated pan later and all of the chicken tenders were ready to bake (much healthier than frying them, and they still end up crispy).
Ten minutes later they were ready to flip and go back in the oven.
Ginny wanted a dipping sauce for the chicken tenders, so we made this easy Sweet and Sour Sauce recipe.
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- a little grated ginger
- a little bit of fresh cracked pepper
Just add everything to a pot and mix.
Heat up the sauce until it just starts to bubble, mixing the whole time. Ginny loved helping with that part. Then take it off the heat and let it cool down before serving.
Ginny loved helping her mommy cook.
Jack wanted to help too, so he made his famous salad dressing.
What's your experience? Does instituting a Family Dinner Night where the kids help to cook help encourage them to eat? What do they like to help cook?
(And yes, the prodigal has returned to blogging. I apologize for my extended absence. I'll be blogging more again soon.)

They kept us very involved in the entire process from design,... to choosing individual plants at the nursery and making changes on site. Looking forward to working with them on a custom outdoor kitchen this spring!VIEW MORE »VIEW LESS »

Just completed our backyard makeover and it has been a great experience. Tina & Danny impressed us right off the bat by being on time and organized. They really listened to us and continued to communicate throughout the process. They finished on time, including a "walk thru" at the end. Every detail was attended to. They are a young company with a really old-fashioned work ethic. Incredibly committed to good work. We now have a beautiful, peaceful & relaxing space. Thanks to Tina, Danny & their great crew!!!

We've been really pleased with Shady Grove. We did a big backyard renovation with lots of complicated drainage and stonework. It's all beautiful and works great. The landscaping already looks mature even though it was planted less than a year ago. They are great to work with.
Everytime we have a heavy rain, water would seep into my garage from the sides of my home. My friend recommended Shady Grove and I gave them a call. Tina was in my area on another job and offerred to stop by earlier than the original appointment. I was delighted. She offered several suggestions, answered all my questions and we agreed on a solution. I received a written estimate very quickly and they began work about four weeks later. They came the day before the job was to start to review the work plans for the next day. The work crew arrived promptly and completed the work quickly with no interruption to my day. Shady Grove stayed in touch through out the entire process, met every commitment they made and followed up to ensure that I was satisfied with the job. I was very pleased with this companies' performance and would encourage you to give them your next landscape job.

After agreeing on a price and starting the project they came back with a higher quote. When I would not accept, they left the project without finishing.
We are flabbergasted to read this review. It is just not true. Shady Grove Landscape Company works so hard to exceed our client's expectations. We would NEVER conduct business in this manor. We have never left a project with an unhappy client, much less a left a project unfinished! Further, we never begin a project without a signed contract and rarely need change orders because our bidding process is so thorough. Please, please read our 60+ other, glowing reviews for which we have so diligently worked for over the past several years.

A joy to work with. Tina and her Company did an outstanding job of working with us from the design stage through completion and within budget. Our Zen garden is awesome. We also asked them to and they worked with us to complete the project in phases. Love Tina but her dog more -:). Would highly recommend them to all.
Shady Grove appreciates all of our clients, especially those who love dogs. Ask us for pictures of this amazing raked-sand, water-feature, bonsai-fig-tree Zen garden. It is amazing!

Tina did an excellent job redesigning our yard and it has made a significant improvement in the appearance of our home. Work was begun on time and the crew cleaned up after each day.
Thanks so much. Shady Grove is grateful for clients like you!
I can�t say enough about Shady Grove Landscape Company! From the initial consultation to the last detail on completion, everyone at Shady Grove was a pleasure to work with. Tina produces a fabulous design plan from an essentially blank canvas of property. She listened to our ideas and combined them with her vision and expertise to create a beautiful transformation. Tina was always mindful of our budget and willing to help us navigate the plan so that we could achieve our vision. The crew and Danny were always friendly and we knew our project was in the best of hands throughout the entire process. Many thanks to Shady Grove for helping us to create the landscape of our dreams and giving us an outdoor living space that we will enjoy for years to come!
Tina, Danny and Leo did a fantastic job on my waterfall. The design, construction and follow-up were all top notch. Very conscientious crew. Final product even better than envisioned. Highly recommended. Charles in Roswell
We love Shady Grove! Tina, Danny and the team came in and TRANSFORMED our backyard from a gravely mud pit to a gorgeous patio with beautiful pavers, landscaping, and a stacked stone fireplace. We are the envy of all our neighbors - some we have never even met before have come by to take a look because they heard how beautiful it is. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. They came up with a new and elegant design, did quality work, stayed in the budget, refused to cut corners, and returned for some minor fixes well after the main job was complete. Great company!
I am thrilled with my yard. Shady Grove worked with me and was conscious of my budget. Everything was explained at each step along the way. Communication was excellent.
From the planning phase to design to installation, this company is top notch. Tina's design for our property fixed our drainage issues, and helped balance our house visually. The installation team made sure the job was done right. We have two more phases to go to complete the total project, and can't wait to see the full design complete. Thanks Shady Grove (Tina & Danny) for everything.

Tina, Danny and Shady Grove are the best in the buisness. I am a Certified Arborist and have worked with them on several projects. They do work for many of my clients and everyone says the same thing. "Shady Grove designs and builds the best hardscapes in town."
Highly recommended. Conscientious and with perfect follow-through: a rare combination & great find!

Seriously, look no further. We have used Shady Grove for two projects. The first we bid out. They were not only the lowest bid, but were extremely helpful in planning and drawing out the plan, and were on time and did a wonderful job on the install. The second time we didn't bother bidding it out; we called Tina & Danny! We needed our entire yard sodded, and they recommended the best choice of grass for our situation, prepped the yard properly, and did a great job on the install. I cried when I saw my new yard. Shady Grove is affordable, professional, on time, and they know their business & do a wonderful job working with their customers. I would recommend them to anyone!
An ongoing drainage issue for years. A look at Kudzu...discovery of a drainage solution company. A call was placed to Tina, and she set the wheels in motion. She drew up a a plan for a dry river bed. Danny executed the plans. Ricky, the crew leader was very professional. If the dry river bed works as good as it looks, we will have NO problems. Keeping our fingers crossed. Thank you for a complete plan and execution of it! Very classy landscape company.

Cerebral Palsy Association of Greater Baton Rouge, Inc. Reviews

My son has a syndrome with multiple issues. He's received therapy at the Center since he was an infant, including speech, physical, and occupational therapy. He has made amazing progress, exceeding many of his doctors' predictions. And he continues to move forward. The Center has been amazing!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my involvement with my son's treatment.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Nothing! The only thing the Center needs is better funding and that is a function of insurance and medicaid rates.
Evan has been going to McMains for PT, OT, and ST since he was 3 years old (he is now 10). The therapy Evan has recieved has been outstanding. Besides therapy the McMains staff also provide other activities for Evan to participate in such as capable arts summer camp, canoeing, and bike racing. The therapists participate in these other activities to incorporate therapy into fun activities and to keep the activities safe. These extracurricular activities have provided Evan with opportunities to learn, socialize, and have a feeling of accomplishment. McMains is also the only clinic in the Baton Rouge area that offers therasuit therapy. Evan was able to make significant step changes in his strength, flexibility, and range of motion as a result of the therasuit therpy he received at McMains.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
As a parent, McMains does a great job at working with our schedules and budgets, and the social workers do a great job at being an advisor and liason between us and all the other services provided at the center.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I know this probably isn't realistic, but if I could make any changes I would offer therapy after school so Evan wouldn't have to miss any school. I would also offer therasuit therapy after school or on weekends so Evan wouldn't have to wait until summer to benefit from intensive PT.

The first limited-edition timepiece to be released after Baselworld comes from Hublot and The Watch Gallery. The two brands have collaborated twice before and each time they have created successful watches that have captured the attention of horology fans around the world.
Well, it looks like Net-A-Porter is up for grabs. The online luxury retailer is reportedly for sale, and analysts suggest it could command a value of up to €2 billion (roughly $2.16 billion). Early last week rumors began to surface about Amazon snapping up the e-commerce giant, but it looks like Yoox has stepped in, confirming that they too are in talks to buy the brand.
Dior Homme has released a new video in collaboration with Dazed magazine, a dreamy story of fashion, youth, love and loss. Inspired by a hand-written letter from Christian Dior, the short, entitled My Story, Our Story, is an artistic tribute to relationships, personal connections and emotion.
Officially presented during Baselworld, the First Class Double Rotor Skeleton 20th Anniversary timepiece by Perrelet is a tribute to brand heritage and the art of skeletal mechanics.
We have to admit, there's nothing as dapper as a gentleman in a well-tailored jacket, and the latest label for men is giving us exactly that. Eponymovs, a New York brand, is reinventing turn-of-the-century American styles for a new generation, combining both high-end looks and work wear into one hip collection for 21st century men.
Vera Wang is the designer for many brides. Her name immediately evokes images of white ball gowns, flower bouquets and well-dressed groomsmen, and her latest collection for Fall 2015 is another dream come true.
Wow. This year's most surprising timepiece from Tag Heuer may not be their smartwatch collaboration with Intel and Google, but this matte-black piece that gives new meaning to the term incognito.
Unique watch faces are making a steady appearance at Baselworld, the latest coming from Angelus with the U10 Tourbillion Lumière. A unique movement, the dial is housed separately, parallel to the tourbillion, a mechanical vision that took over two years to realize.
UR-110 Eastwood, the latest timepiece from Urwerk, offers a fun twist on their normally futuristic designs. Known for watches that look like something out of RoboCop, the updated Urwerk model is housed in a hipster wood-covered case with a tweed strap for a perfect juxtaposition of modern and vintage.
Baselworld is known for its record-breaking announcements, one-of-a-kind showpieces and world-renowned collections. The latest to come from the Swiss horological event is the Omega Globemaster.
Google is about to go head-to-head with Apple. The latest news at Baselworld reveals a partnership between Tag Heuer, Google and Intel to release one of the first Swiss smart watches. Slated to be released by the end of the year, the luxury wearable will be powered by Intel technology and Andriod Wear.
Baselworld starts today. This means over the next week we'll be racking up a list of our favorite timepieces and must-haves for the year. And there are some stunning works to watch out for this season.

Celebrate International No Diet Day!
by Fitness
Like us on Facebook
Following a diet is tough. It's enough to make you want to throw in the towel. Today is one day that you can (and should) — hooray!
Celebrate International No Diet Day — an annual celebration of body acceptance and diversity — by declaring a one-day leave of absence from weight obsession. Quit worrying about the enchiladas and margaritas you had yesterday. Enjoy yourself. Love yourself. And above all, keep away from that miserable diet.

I think people miss the point of no diet day. It isn't a cheat day or permission to eat more for a day, to go without guilt for one day. No diet day is used to promote body acceptance and listening to your body and fufilling your body's needs. The day is suppose to bring awareness to eating disorders and body image problems--both of which are associated with dieting.

I don't "diet", I just eat healthy most of the time and I allow myself a treat now and then. So I don't think I'm going to go hog-wild today or anything, but I will allow myself a treat or something today.
