Dell's $24.4B deal opposed by major stockholder
Monday - 2/11/2013, 8:20am EST
AP Technology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Dell Inc.'s decision to sell itself for $24.4 billion to a group led by its founder and CEO is being ridiculed as a rotten deal by a major shareholder who estimates the slumping personal computer maker is really worth $42 billion.
The missive launched Friday by Southeastern Asset Management Inc. threatens to complicate Dell Inc.'s efforts to end its 25-year history as a public company.
In a letter to Dell's board of directors, Southeastern CEO O. Mason Hawkins threatened to lead a shareholder mutiny unless the company came up with an alternative to the deal announced earlier this week.
Hawkins vowed to wield Southeastern's 8.5 percent stake to thwart the deal currently on the table. Only Michael Dell, the company's eponymous founder and CEO, owns more stock with a roughly 14 percent stake.
Under Dell's proposal, Southeastern and other stockholders will be paid $13.65 per share to leave the company in control of Michael Dell, who founded the business in his University of Texas dorm room in 1984. Michael Dell is contributing about $4.5 billion in stock and cash to help pay for the deal. The rest of the money would be supplied by the investment firm Silver Lake, loans from Microsoft Corp. and a litany of banks. The loans will burden Dell with debts that could leave the company with less money to invest in innovation and acquisitions.
Hawkins derided the price of the proposed sale as "woefully inadequate" and laid out a scenario that values Dell at $23.72 per share, or about $42 billion. The per-share amount mirrors Dell's stock price six years ago, when Michael Dell returned for a second go-round as the company's CEO.
In statement late Friday, Dell said it is standing behind the merits of the current deal. The company, which is based in Round Rock, Texas, emphasized that its board had worked with financial advisers to explore a wide range of alternatives before agreeing to sell the company for $24.4 billion a price 80 percent below Dell's top market value of more than $150 billion at the peak of the dot-com boom 13 years ago.
"The transaction offers an attractive and immediate premium for stockholders and shifts the risks facing the business to the buyer group," Dell Inc. said.
To allow for the possibility of something better coming along, Dell's board had already opened a 45 day window for other potential bidders to emerge.
Hawkins is worried other suitors will be discouraged from bidding because Michael Dell already has lined up a deal to buy the company for what Southeastern believes to be a steep discount.
The transaction that Michael Dell and Silver Lake negotiated "clearly represents an opportunistically timed bid to take the company private at a valuation far below Dell's intrinsic value, and deprives public shareholders of the ability to participate in the company's substantial future value creation," Hawkins wrote.
Michael Dell and Silver Lake contend the company will be in a better position to overhaul its operations as a privately held company. That's because Dell would be able to make dramatic changes without having to worry about Wall Street's fixation on whether earnings and revenue are growing from one quarter to the next.
The proposed sale at $13.65 per share is 25 percent above where Dell's stock stood last month, before word of the buyout negotiations leaked out in the media. Dell's stock has plunged during the past year as PC sales have slumped amid the technological upheaval caused by the growing popularity of smartphones and tablet computers.
Dell's shares rose 10 cents Friday to close at $13.63.
Michael Dell has been trying to wean his company from PCs by expanding sales of technology consulting services, business software and higher-end computers. As part of that process, Hawkins pointed out that Dell has spent $13.7 billion, or the equivalent of $7.58 per share, on acquisitions since Michael Dell returned as the company's CEO in January 2007. Dell hasn't taken any charges to reflect that the acquisitions have diminished in value.
In his letter Hawkins laid out his rationale for valuing the company's PC business at $2.78 per share and other product lines at a combined $13.36 per share. With those two components, added to the $7.58 per share in acquisitions, Hawkins arrives at his $23.72 per share valuation.
Instead of sticking with the current deal, Dell's board should consider an alternative that would give existing shareholders a stake in a restructured company that would still be led by Michael Dell, Hawkins wrote.
Messages left with Southeastern for comment weren't immediately returned.
The 38-year-old firm, which is based in Memphis, Tenn., manages about $33 billion in assets. In a regulatory filing Friday, Southeastern said it had spent about $2.28 billion to accumulate more than 147 million shares of Dell. That means Southeastern would lose about $270 million on its Dell holdings if the company is sold at $13.65 per share.

GEORGE TOWN: An unexpected victory. But Kedah are not about to just ride on a 2-0 lead with an away goal advantage they now command over Terengganu in the FA Cup semi-final tie.
Kedah coach Ahmad Yusof made that clear that his side would still work very hard for a positive result in the second-leg match at the Darulaman Stadium in Alor Setar on Saturday.
The Canaries had trooped out of the first-leg match at the Sultan Ismail Stadium in Kuala Terengganu on Tuesday with more than they had hoped for.
"A draw from the away match would have been a great result. But the team surprised me with their performance and their determination to win the match," said Ahmad.
"We not only won but have the bonus of two precious away goals in the bag to help our cause to reach the final."
National Under-23 striker Faizal Abu Bakar put Kedah in front in the 28th minute and their top goal poacher, Azlan Ismail, netted the second in the 59th minute to take his tally to eight goals thus far in all competitions.
Ahmad was quick to warn his boys against taking the Turtles for granted in the return match.
"Terengganu certainly have the ability to turn things around. They were very creative and dangerous in the first-leg match but poor finishing let them down," he said.
"We have to keep their attack, especially their striker, Manaf (Mamat), under close check in the return match."
But Kedah will not be at full strength for the second-leg match. National defender Mohd Sabre Abu will be out on a one-match suspension for having received two yellow cards.
And Shahrulnizam Mustapha is a doubtful starter after suffering a recurrence of a groin injury. Azlan's availability is also hanging in the balance as he has to face the FA of Malaysia's disciplinary board tomorrow for a red card offence in the quarter-final first-leg match against Armed Forces on March 9.
"We hope that Sharulnizam's injury is not too serious and we have to keep our fingers crossed that the disciplinary board will not hand Azlan more punishment than the two-match automatic suspension," said Ahmad.

We made it through June and entered July with another whirlwind. Mike was in town indefinitely until the baby came. And I was READY for baby to come any day. I'd been having significant contractions since the beginning of week 37. The real deal. I was dilated, effaced, and baby had totally dropped. My kids had all come between 37 and 38 weeks, so I felt like it was any day.
We were sitting on the front porch, and I vented to him. A lot. I just wanted to hit the fast forward button and not have to go through another month of crazy stress. It was hot and humid. I was terribly uncomfortable and ready to have a baby at any time. I felt overwhelmed with the logistics of moving, enrolling the kids in a new school, trying to build a house from a different state, and trying to imagine doing it all with a newborn.
For a brief moment, I paused and looked out on the street. Crossing our street was a large turtle who'd just crawled out of the storm drain.
Now, in Nebraska, the storms are big. And the storm drains are huge to handle the flow of water. No storm covers; the drains are long and wide. I used to worry my daughter would fall in if she tripped! This turtle must have been swept into the sewers during one of the recent storms.
We'd never seen an actual turtle just crawling along our street, and the events that followed – from gathering him into a bucket, to giving him a name (Terry the Turtle), to listening to my kids try to negotiate him into a family pet, to driving him to a nearby pond and letting him go, launched one of the best afternoons and evenings we had that summer.
Some may call it a coincidence, but I testify to you that the Lord was with me that day. All of my concerns were valid, but they were beyond my control. While the Lord knew the path ahead, it was not time for me to know or understand it. It was my time to deepen my trust the Lord. To practice faith and enjoy the journey a bit more. I am so grateful he opened the door for us to create such a beautiful and simple family memory.

Anonymous Donation Pushes Buffalo City Mission Donations from VoIP Supply Up to 8,000 Meals
VoIP Supply's Feed the Homeless campaign donates $1.98, equivalent to one meal, for every order placed online.
Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) May 25, 2013
Since Thanksgiving of last year, VoIP Supply has been donating $1.98 to the Buffalo City Mission for every order placed online through the company's website.
For that small amount the Buffalo City Mission can fill an empty plate, transform lives, and provide hope for the many faces of homelessness.
People may not realize that donating a good meal is a simple way to start a domino effect of positive change. So, VoIP Supply has been encouraging online customers to match the company's $1.98 donation from their order when they checkout.
An anonymous party recently donated 2,000 meals to take advantage of VoIP Supply's matching offer which resulted in 4,000 meals in a single day.
Thanks to that anonymous gift, VoIP Supply has now donated a total of 8,000 meals in the company's Feed the Homeless campaign.
"We have worked hard to do well, serve our customers, pay our bills, employ our people, grow and improve," said Ben Sayers, CEO of VoIP Supply. We have worked hard so that we may help others and not just ourselves."
"When I was a kid I was taught by my parents, as they lead by example, to wait for those behind you and hold the door so they may pass with a little less effort," said Sayers. "It isn't just the physical door that needs to be held open, sometimes the "door" is an opportunity given, a pair of shoes or something as simple as a meal."
Sayers has positioned VoIP Supply as a company that cares about more than just the bottom line, stressing the importance of helping to put food in the mouths of those with so much less.
Help the Buffalo City Mission with their Summer Matching Gift Challenge. From now until May 31, 2013, every $1.98 donated is doubled to provide two meals. For more information or, to make a donation, please visit https://www.buffalocitymission.org/donate.

Ankhkheperure Smenkhkare 1334-1333
Ankhkheperure Smenkhkare; was either her husband or her Pharaonic name (one of them at least; possibly Horus name).
This woman had an absolutely fascinating life.
The daughter of Amenhotep IV; she was the first daughter and a prominent person in her father's life. She was also after his mother became unable to fulfill her queen duties took over as first lady.
After her father died her younger half-brother Tutankhamun took the throne.
After helping her younger half-brother to adulthood; or at least into his teens, this queen needed to have her own country to rule.
Possibly looking to her ancestors she traveled first to Spain, then to Scotland to establish her own kingship. Knowing she had to give up power and control of the country over to her brother, but also knowing that her brother was not strong enough to be pharaoh for long. This extremely wise and true daughter of her father a very powerful king; she chose to make life elsewhere.
The country of Scotland by legend is named after her.
There is no reason to assume she did not arrived in Scotland with a huge entourage, with a several year advance crew.
The advance crew could have easily attempted in Spain first. Found conditions there; unacceptable.
Decision was made to try in present day Northumberland.
Other royal families figuring out regime change was coming could have left Egypt for Northumberland as well.
Creating a Hyksos descended; pics, Northumberland, scots triumvirate from 1500-50 b.c.e when Rome invaded. Of course petty squabbles and differences did and do come up. Some families are removed from power/die off others rise to power.
Those in Northumberland spent a considerable amount fo time preparing for the eventual Hyksos (or whatever their new name is going to be) invasion. The Hyksos as a culture and all their descended cultures almost by default change their cultural identifying name every generation or so. One of the ways they can be identified is by the facts of how mathematically exact they change their name.
But the important thing to remember;
Northumberland, Yr Hen Ogledd means the same as
This book and series chronicles the life and times of Meritaten, a bit about her ancestors, her life, her bother, the rise fo the Hyksos, her siblings being sent out to form their own kingdoms, and her eventual return to Egypt to be mummified and buried in her father's lands. Ironically the Battle of Troy have direct aspects to do with both her and her sister along with her brother Tut who married that sister. Her sister, her brother's widow, went onto marry (by legend a Prince of Troy). Their love affair was the start of the Punic wars 500 years later. But that is another book and series regarding Meritaten's sister. The spear of Longinus is directly connected to both Meritiaten and her sister the wife of her bother Tut.
Another sister linguistically is directly connected to the conquest fo Athens, the Persian invasions of the Aegean, and the legends surrounding Medusa.
In truth it is possible and easy to connect the blade/spear of Jacob through Troy, to The City of Seven Hills, to Northumberland itself, back to Rome, to the Counsel Joseph of Aramathea was a member of.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 4 votes Best answer I found it! :> Although difficult, it is possible for Steel and Poison-type Pokémon to be poisoned. In Generation II, the move Twineedle could poison Steel-type Pokémon; however, this was removed in future Generations. A Poison or Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned if its type is changed through a move like Soak, is then poisoned and switched out. When the Pokémon is sent out again, the poison status will remain even though the Pokémon's type has changed back to Poison or Steel. Also, poisoned Pokémon who evolve into a Poison- or Steel-type Pokémon, such as Cascoon evolving into Dustox, will keep the poisoned status after evolving. ~ Bulbapedia answered Mar 2, 2013 by Sciz selected Mar 2, 2013 by StormBorn I know that bit.

|Original channel
|Original release
|October 6, 2000– May 17, 2001
The first season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation premiered on CBS on October 6, 2000, and ended on May 17, 2001. It was rereleased on Blu-ray on May 12, 2009.
This is the only season of the CSI franchise that was broadcast in the 4:3 aspect ratio. It was, however, filmed in 16:9, and the widescreen versions of the episodes are present on the Blu-ray release.[1]
William Petersen was the first actor to be cast, in the lead role of Dr. Gil Grissom, a forensic entomologist and head of the Las Vegas Crime Lab's grave-yard shift. Petersen then went on to sit in on auditions for the roles of Catherine Willows, Holly Gribbs, Warrick Brown and Jim Brass. Marg Helgenberger was next to be cast as Catherine Willows; Brass was given to Paul Guilfoyle, Gribbs to Chandra West, and Brown to Gary Dourdan. George Eads auditioned for the role of Stokes, a character that was never planned to be part of the regular cast, and eventually was chosen over the other auditionees; the role was expanded to a series regular when Eads was shown to have chemistry with the rest of the cast. Sanders, a minor recurring character, was given to Eric Szmanda; he would later become a regular.
Following the season premiere, titled "Pilot", the character of Gribbs was found to be unpopular and was killed off; almost immediately after the test audience's responses came in, West was fired, and casting began for Sara Sidle, a CSI-3 and love interest for Grissom. Jorja Fox originally refused to audition for the role because she was happy in her previous job, but after people kept telling her about CSI, she went to speak to Zuiker and won the role.
Robert David Hall and David Berman were cast as Al Robbins and David Phillips, respectively; they first appeared in the sixth and fifth episodes of the first season, respectively, and have since both become regulars.

Elephants were trained and used in warfare in India, China and Persia over the centuries. This practice arose from Alexander the Great's experience with warring elephants against King Porus. Only male elephants were used and these are known to be aggressive and unruly, particularly when in musth. The benefit lay, not only in their sheer size, but also in their concern for their human trainer (altruism) and in their ability to charge at great speeds. This would be enough to frighten any horse and its rider from the scene.
Elephants are very effective in labour requiring hard slogging and heavy lifting. Logging is particularly ideal for elephants and they are trained to uproot trees and move large logs.
In ancient times, the mighty elephant was sometimes used as an executioner, trained to crush condemned people to death. They were also the ceremonial mounts for royalty and those held in high religious esteem, as well as for safari-style hunting escapades. They are particularly effective as a transport means during hunting because they fit in naturally with other wild animals and they are mightier than many of the predators that humans may face (e.g. tigers).
3. ZOOS and CIRCUSES
Fortunately, animals' rights activists are clamping down on circuses and zoos for the capture, confinement and use of wild elephants. However, they remain a favourite for all visitors to such establishment, as they hold such fascination in the minds and heart of people. Zoos generally have a better track record for the medical, physical and social care of their elephants than circuses do. Circus performances involving elephants remain popular because of the elephant's ability to be trained to perform, and also because of its sheer size. The conditions ensuring that they are confined and transported as cost-effectively as possible are often questionable and sometimes horrendous. Their frustration and pain has resulted in a few tramplings of trainers.
When dealing with creatures that possess as high a level of understanding and insight, elephants have proved to be most industrious and helpful to mankind. It is imperative that, in recognising their value and potential, we take the utmost care to protect this most precious resource.

The Gold Sheet
We're not sure Wednesday night's 38-33 Penn State win over Illinois was the ugliest college game we can remember. But that's only because we have long memories. We recall some great stall games from as long ago as the late '60s (including NC State boring Duke to death, 12-10, in the '68 ACC Tourney) so painful to watch that they were almost fascinating, as well as a poor Dick DiBiaso-coached Stanford team pulling the stall out on one of Ralph Miller's best Oregon State teams in the early '80s, when the Beavers survived at Palo Alto by an 18-16 count. And more recently, there was that root canal of a Colonial Athletic Association Tourney title game between Jim Larranaga's George Mason and Jerry Wainwright's UNC-Wilmington back in 2001, won by the Patriots 35-33.
But the battle at Champaign-Urbana Wednesday night need not take a back seat to any recent hoop ugly-fest. Some of the stats from Penn State-Illinois were truly frightening. The teams shot a combined 28 of 99 from the floor. Illinois shot no free throws all night. It was the fewest points the Illini have scored since a 1947 game against Minnesota when scoring only 31. Prior to Wednesday, the fewest points Illinois had ever scored at the scallop-roofed Assembly Hall (which opened in 1963) was 44. The fewest combined points in an Assembly Hall game was 85, which Wednesday's total of 71 broke in Bob Beamon-like fashion. Other Assembly Hall record lows set Wednesday night were fewest team points (Illinois-33), fewest points by a winning team (Penn State-38), lowest FG percentage (Penn State-28.3%), fewest assists (Penn State-6), and fewest combined assists (16). Not to mention the fact that in four different games this season, Kentucky's Jodie Meeks alone scored more points than either the Nittany Lions or Fighting Illini on Wednesday night.
Hey, wasn't the shot clock supposed to eliminate these sorts of games?
What's interesting about Wednesday's action was that the Penn State-Illinois wasn't the only game that recalled a neanderthal era in hoops. In fact, the night was filled with them. Following are some other games and teams that made "ugly" proud Wednesday night.
1) The MAC...Yes, an entire conference gets a nod on the Wednesday ugly-meter. And anyone who has been paying attention to college hoops this season won't be surprised that the MAC, whose games often more resemble tackle football than basketball, gets the honor for a slew of painful exhibitions Wednesday night.
Indeed, in the five MAC games played Wednesday night, at least one team couldn't break the 50-point barrier in four of the contests, with half of the ten teams in action failing to clear 46 points. If not for Penn State-Illinois, we might be talking about Western Michigan's 46-38 win over Eastern Michigan as one of the season's worst games. The Eagles pulled to within 37-36 on a Wendale Farrow layup with 6:41 to play, yet managed only 2 points the rest of the night. Akron's 53-44 win over Miami-Ohio wasn't much prettier, as the RedHawks hit only 27.7% of their shots (13 of 47) while allowing the Zips to score 20 points off of their 18 turnovers. We wonder if Charlie Coles' doctor might recommend the old coach to retire if he has to endure any more such painful exhibitions.
By comparison, Bowling Green's 59-48 win over MAC East leader Buffalo was a work of art, even though none of the Falcons' starters scored in double digits. Meanwhile, Northern Illinois, which has been practicing its own brand of ugly-ball all season, almost outdid itself by missing 10 of its 20 free throws in a 63-44 loss at Central Michigan. The MAC's "explosion" game of the night came at Toledo, where the moribund Rockets (who entered the game with a 4-21 record) finally achieved a lift-off of sorts with a 71-67 win over Ball State, with Tyrone Kent firing home 26 for the winners.
That pretty much sums up MAC hoops this season, when the league's worst team (Toledo) played the most-exciting basketball of the night.
2) South Florida...So much for the Bulls as giant-killers. After recently upsetting highly-ranked Marquette in Tampa, USF was hoping it could do the same against Georgetown Wednesday night. Never mind, as the Bulls hit only 15 of 47 FG tries (31.9%) and only 1 of 12 from triplesville in a 65-40 loss that temporarily allowed the Hoyas (who entered the Sun Dome having lost 8 of their last 9) to get well.
3) Army...Perhaps the Black Knights of the Hudson were paying homage to Bob Knight's vicious, snarling West Point teams of 40 years ago and trying to prove they also could beat American U with defense and tenacity alone. But Bob's teams had some talented guys like Mike Silliman who could shoot and score. The current Black Knights, however, saw no one score more than 7 points while the team shot only 27.1% from the floor in a 58-36 loss to the Patriot League-leading Eagles.
4) Colgate...And to think that a Patriot League team shot even worse from the floor Wednesday night than Army! Meet Colgate, which misfired on 36 of its 49 FG tries in a 49-40 loss at Bethlehem vs. Lehigh, which wasn't exactly burning the nets itself (the Engineers were only 36.7% from the floor).
5) Drexel-George Mason...At least this CAA grinder was a close, tense affair. It was no night for offensive fireworks, not that one was expected featuring teams coached by Bruiser Flint and Jim Larranaga, who have been involved in some intriguing chess matches over the years. Neither team shot the ball worth a hoot (Drexel 34.8%, Mason 34%). But at least fans at the Patriot Center were treated to an exciting finish, as GMU's Darryl Monroe hit a short jumper with 7 seconds to play to give the Pats a 49-48 comeback win and allowing the Fairfax bunch to stay on VCU's heels (and draw abreast of fading Northeastern) in the CAA race.
6) Drake-Northern Iowa...Another root canal job, this one in the Missouri Valley, won by the visiting Bulldogs in a mild upset, 47-46. The stat line on this game reveals just how brutal of a contest it was in Davenport. Using a favorite measurement described by ex-Saint Mary's HC and current TV game analysts on The Mtn., Dave Bollwinkle, anytime the turnovers and fouls add up to more than the field goals converted, you have a "disjointed" game. And using that criteria, Drake-NIU was as ugly as any game Wednesday night, with a total of 72 turnovers and fouls (37 TOS, 35 fouls) compared to only 31 FGs made. It's too bad coach Bollwinkle was assigned to UNLV-Wyoming in Laramie Wednesday night instead of Drake-NIU, because he would have been talking about his "disjointed quotient" all night long.
7) Colorado-Nebraska...The Buffs and Cornhuskers have played football games this decade where more points were scored than Wednesday night's hoop contest at Lincoln, which Nebraska survived 46-41. Like so many other games on the night, neither shot the ball worth a hoot (Buffs 31%, Huskers 34.8%), but at least Nebraska had one player mostly on the mark (Ade Dagunduro with 18 points) to save the game for Doc Sadler's crew.
8) Detroit...We leave the lowly Titans for last because any team that loses 67-41 vs. Loyola-Chicago deserves to end the night's "ugly" discussion. Allowing the Ramblers to run roughshod is bad enough, but scoring only 17 points in the first half vs. the Loyola defense is something else entirely. Or maybe the Ramblers (who upset Butler last Sunday) are simply getting the hang of things for HC Jim Whitesell, who indeed preaches defense by the lakeshore. Erratic Loyola shooters such as J.R. Blount and Justin Cerasoli usually have spots reserved in shooting Halls of Shame, but not Wednesday when the two seniors combined to hit 14 of 26 from the floor.
Added note: They're not yet harkening on Sheridan Drive back to 1963, when George Ireland's Ramblers won the NCAA Tourney, but a hot Blount & Cerasoli, along with emerging frosh standout Jordan Hicks (12 points vs. Detroit after scoring 23 in the Butler upset), could actually make Loyola a team to watch in what suddenly looks to be a wide-open Horizon Tournament.
It was an important Wednesday for several teams on the NCAA bubble, and not all of them delivered as expected. Following are the night's winners and losers, plus our Wednesday Player of the Night.
LOSER: Davidson... Stephen Curry, get well in a hurry! Anyone who wondered if the Wildcats might still be an NCAA at-large team without Dell's son got their answer Wednesday night, when Curry-less Davidson was blown out at home vs. The Citadel, 64-46. Curry missed the game due to a sprained ankle suffered last weekend vs. Furman. Of course, the Selection Committee will weigh injuries when considering at-large candidates, but for losses like Wednesday's not to hurt the Wildcats, Curry has to return quickly and Davidson has to immediately pick up where it left off before the Curry injury. Saturday's bracket Buster vs. Butler suddenly has an air of urgency about it for Davidson.
LOSER: Butler... Speaking of an air of urgency for Saturday's Bracket Buster, Butler has it, too, after dropping is second straight Horizon League game Wednesday night, this one to Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 63-60. The Bulldogs, only 6 of 26 from tripleville in Sunday's shock loss vs. Loyola-Chicago, were only 3 for 16 beyond the arc vs. the Panthers. That's 9 of 42 from treyland the last two for Butler, which is finding out that living from the perimeter can be a dangerous thing. Another loss or two before the Horizon Tourney, along with a failure to win that event, might even put Butler in some bubble trouble.
WINNER: Virginia... The Cavaliers aren't going anywhere this season, but their 75-61 win over Virginia Tech could prove a mortal NCAA blow to their in-state rival from Blacksburg. And it also might take a little more heat off of under-fire HC Dave Leitao, whose Cavs have now beaten Clemson and the Hokies on the trot. Virginia's 6-6 frosh Sylven Landesberg, the ACC's top scoring frosh at 18 ppg, led the Cavs with 19 points while adding 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Leitao isn't out of the woods quite yet, but that recent 8-game Virginia losing streak is at least a bit further back in the rear-view mirror these days.
WINNER: LSU... The Tigers looked a sure loser for most of the way Wednesday night at Fayetteville, missing half of their 24 free throw attempts and trailing Arkansas by as many as 18 points at one stage. But the never-say-die Tigers, ranked for the first time in two yeas, closed the game on an 11-1 run to steal a 72-69 win over the deflated Razorbacks. Marcus Thornton's 28 points spurred the comeback for Trent Johnson's team, which won its 7th in a row and now appears a lock for the Big Dance. As for Arkansas, it lost despite 17 points from Courtney Fortson, back from a 1-game suspension, but the disappointing Hogs still fell to 1-10 in SEC play and did little to improve the case of bronchitis that prevented (or was it spared) HC John Pelphrey from talking to the media after the game.
LOSER: UNLV... Rebel HC Lon Kruger was wary about the trip to Laramie, correctly observing that Wyoming is a much more dangerous team on its home court. What Kruger probably couldn't envision, however, was his UNLV team missing all 12 of its 3-pointers in the first half and digging itself a hole that it couldn't recover from in an eventual 77-68 loss. Cowboy star G Brandon Ewing, held to just 7 points in last month's loss at the Thomas & Mack Center, gained some revenge by scoring 29, while the Runnin' Rebels' final 3-point tally was a poor 5 of 26. The defeat means that UNLV faces a true must-win game Saturday night vs. BYU to keep its NCAA at-large hopes alive (though remember that UNLV does host the Mountain West Tourney, an event it has won the past two seasons at the Thomas & Mack).
WINNER: Mississippi State... The Bulldogs' NCAA at-large hopes took a severe jolt last week in losses vs. LSU (a painful one in overtime) and at Auburn. Facing a true must-win game to rekindle its NCAA at-large dreams vs. hot South Carolina Wednesday night, the Bulldogs delivered with a clutch 75-70 win. The Cocks' star Gs Devan Downey & Zam Fredrick were only a combined 11 of 31 from the floor, while soph G Patrick Turner came up big for the Bulldogs with 16 points and 14 boards. Soph 6-7 swingman Ravern Johnson led MSU scorers with 20 points.
LOSER: Northeastern... The Huskies are officially in a slump after losing at home vs. Rod Barnes' improving Georgia State, 70-68. That's three straight losses and four defeats in the last five for NE, which dropped out of a share of first place in the CAA with the defeat. The Huskies tried their best in a wild final minute-and-a-half of action, erasing an 8-point Panther lead, only to see GSU's Ousman Krubally hit a layup at the buzzer for the win. Keep an eye on the Panthers as a darkhorse in the upcoming CAA Tourney, especially since they have located a shooting eye for the first time all season (GSU has hit 50% or better from the floor in 4 of its last 5, including 55.8% vs. the Huskies).
WINNER: Auburn... It's been a while (6 years, to be exact) since Auburn won 4 straight SEC games. But the wait is over after Wednesday's 71-59 win at Georgia which has the Tigers moving a bit closer to at least having a look at the periphery of the NCAA bubble. Remember, the Tigers are rallying at a time when HC Jeff Lebo's job was reportedly in jeopardy, and were all business from the outset at Athens when rolling to a 45-19 halftime lead. The lead grew to as many as 27 points before the Dawgs started to chip away in front of a sparse gathering at Stegeman Coliseum, as local tornado warnings before tipoff kept the crowd at an intimate level. WEDNESDAY PLAYER OF THE NIGHT: Charles Jenkins, Hofstra... The underrated, powerful 6-3 soph G from nearby Queens had a huge night on Long Island for the surging Pride against James Madison, knocking home 32 points in Hofstra's exciting 99-96 double-overtime win. Jenkins (18.3 ppg) also dished out a career-high 13 assists and gathered 7 rebounds in a tremendous all-around performance.
WHO'S HOT AND WHO'S NOT...POINTSPREAD STREAKS (thru February 18)
WINS: Arizona 3 straight and 6 of 7; Arkansas-Little Rock 5 straight and 9 of 10; Arizona State 4 straight; Auburn 4 straight; BYU 5 straight; Colorado 8 of 9; Creighton 5 of 6; Indiana State 4 straight; La Tech 4 straight; Memphis 4 straight and 8 of 9; NC State 4 straight; Pepperdine 5 straight; St. Bona 4 straight; Saint Louis 7 straight; Seton Hall 5 straight; Temple 4 straight; Troy 4 straight; Villanova 8 of 9; Youngstown State 5 straight.

Droid Apps For Toddlers
Good luck free Android Arcade & Action games showcase all the improved technology and basically what's possible now as well as in the future with mobile phone games. Despite having a small screen, these games are a lot of fun and it is mainly because the graphics are so good. Even with adequate graphics, when the playability wasn't good, no one would bother downloading these games. Thankfully for everyone, it's there too and these games are starting to compete with standalone portable game sets. This is simply not to say they're as well level yet; though time and constant improvements on both the Android operating system side and the developers getting better still, it will become a far more widely discussed topic.

It certainly helped that there was a fairly even level of quality over most of the first day of the fest, with the knockout jazz-funk of the Marcus Miller Band and state-of-the-art acoustic jazz set of Chick Corea's Freedom Band as the undisputed high points.
One cannot deny that most of jazz's major players are gone, but there are still some left -- and that certainly contributed to the comfort level on Day One. One of them, Corea, celebrated his 69th birthday Saturday -- a birthday cake loaded with trick candles was presented to him by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- and he responded with a splendid set where his piano work was every bit as creative as ever, with not a single rote passage to be heard.
Driving his quartet was another surviving jazz giant, Roy Haynes, whose playing at 85 has no right to be as nimble, strong and swinging as it is, but hearing is believing. Christian McBride was the first acoustic bass player all day to get a good, solid tone through the wretched sound system, and Kenny Garrett, at 49, has matured into one of jazz's alto sax masters. Together, the quickness of their ears and mutual telepathy never flagged.
The protean Marcus Miller flashed several aspects of his talent -- as a monster of an electric bass player, as a composer, even as a decent bass clarinetist -- with his quintet laying down a powerful jazz-funk groove. The set was mainly given over to a recap of Miller's association with Miles Davis in the 1980s, where Miller provided most of the tunes and all of the textures for three of MD's albums. After weaving happily through Backyard Ritual," Splatch," Tutu" and Human Nature" -- with muted trumpeter Christian Scott ably standing in for Miles -- Miller suddenly realized the crowd would rather party than remember Davis. So he abruptly switched gears to a funkified rendition of Come Together," the third act of the day to include a Beatles tune in its set.
If Scott was the designated Miles Davis of the day, tenor saxman Ernie Watts did his ferocious best to channel his hero -- and onetime Miles sparring partner -- John Coltrane, during Kurt Elling's set. Wearing cool shades and brown pinstripes, Elling turned in an intelligently programmed batch of songs from Tin Pan Alley to Stevie Wonder, with lots of agile bopscat.
There was no need to channel Les McCann, for the irrepressible 74-year-old funkmaster was there behind a Yamaha synthesizer during tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson's set -- less-exuberant than in earlier times, yet squeezing his unmistakable harmonic signatures out of the keyboard. The sound, alas, was horrible during Jackson's set, and the engineers nearly ruined McCann's big moment by not switching his mic on during the first part of Compared to What."
Jake Shimabukuro showed what could be done with a simple ukulele with the help of amplification and a huge technique -- best illustrated when turning the uke into a miniature flamenco guitar. Likewise, Naturally 7 takes the old idea of a vocal orchestra to a new level -- spread out onstage like an electronic hybrid big-band/hip-hop unit. The robust Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra, though, still does its traditional big band thing, though not incapable of a surprise or two -- like the chart of Motown's Where Did Our Love Go" with its round-robin of solos throughout the band.
Trombone Shorty and his second-line-funky-soul band from New Orleans worked hard to get a rise out of the notoriously inert afternoon crowd, and finally succeeded at set's end. So did the Pete Escovedo Orchestra in the after-dinner slot -- and with more than a dash of showmanship, jive and eventual near-anarchy when Sheila E tried" to strike up The Glamorous Life"; they had no trouble rousing the dancers in the aisles.
The Bait-and-Switch award goes, hands down, to the alleged Sax for Stax band, which after opening with Isaac Hayes's Theme From 'The Men'?" didn't play another Stax tune, reverting to the usual smooth-jazz agenda of cliche after sax cliche -- made tolerable only by Jeff Lorber's splendidly funky keyboard.

This weekend at the Titan store you can get my older movies on DVD, 5 for $99. And not just mine, so you can pick a bunch you want to see.
Since I came back to Titan to make Incubus, I have looked at all of my old movies I have made here. It was a very humbling and exciting thing to look at my old scenes and remember making them. Some were hard work and some were fun and some were both.
Oh, and Folsom Leather has one of my favorite watersports scenes I did. Just so you know.
Just this weekend.

It was a sight to behold. I will have many more clips for you between now and when Incubus comes out next month. Thank you for all of the comments and Twitter messages. I love to hear from you all and I'm very glad people seem to be as excited to see it as we are to show it to you.
These are a few of my favorite scenes/3 Comments/in Videography /by Francois
Finn from Titanmen asked me if I could name a few of my favorite scenes that I am in. It's hard to choose just one so I'm going to choose a few. This one is from Breakers which was the last movie that Bruce Cam directed. For now, anyway.
The scene with Darius Faulke, Tony Buff and me.

Stanford (+10) vs Oklahoma
Stanford is ranked, Oklahoma is not, but the Sooners are simply a much better team. Their offense has been very up and down, but their defense is fantastic. And since Andrew Luck will either be playing hurt or won't be playing at all, Stanford is likely to become one-dimensional on offense, which means that Oklahoma should be able to largely contain Stanford and put more than enough points on the board against a consistently vulnerable Cardinal defense.
Oklahoma 31, Stanford 17
Oregon (-3.5) vs Ohio St
This is a hard game to peg. Ohio St has been consistently decent to good in their bowl games (the disaster against Florida aside), which makes it tough to blow them out. Moreover, both of the teams who beat the Ducks this year had extra time to prepare for their offense, and the Buckeyes have plenty of time for that. However, Oregon is simply a better football team. Unless their defense completely collapses (possible given their play over their last few games but still unlikely), they should be able to largely hold down Ohio St's offense, and their own offense will put enough points on the board to win it, though it'll be a hard-fought battle.
Oregon 27, Ohio St 24
Non-Pac-10 Games
Navy vs Missouri (-6.5)
Navy 31, Missouri 28
Mizzou is better, but probably not that much better. Extra time to prepare for Navy's offense will help a bit, but not enough. When in doubt, pick the underdog.
Air Force vs Houston (-4.5)
Air Force 31, Houston 28
I think Houston is one of the most overrated teams in the country; at the least this is about a tossup, and honestly I think Air Force is actually a bit better.
Iowa St vs Minnesota (-2)
Iowa St 28, Minnesota 24
Minnesota simply isn't the same without Erik Decker. I don't get why they're favored here.
Tennessee vs Virginia Tech (-5.5)
Virginia Tech 28, Tennessee 17
The Vols are better than they get credit for, but Virginia Tech is far better than they get credit for. They have more talent, are better coached, and won't be caught napping in this game.
Northwestern vs Auburn (-7.5)
Auburn 31, Northwestern 24
This could be a decent game, but I don't see the upset. Neither team is hugely consistent, but Auburn is still substantially better.
Florida St vs West Virginia (-2.5)
Florida St isn't quite as bad as many people think, but West Virginia is a better team, and won't fall victim to the 'Noles in yet another bowl matchup between these two programs.
LSU vs Penn St (-2.5)
Penn St 24, LSU 23
I have no clue who wins, but I strongly suspect this will be one of the best bowl games of the season.
Cincy vs Florida (-12.5)
Florida 31, Cincy 24
Florida is certainly better than the Bearcats, but not nearly two touchdowns better. With both teams dealing with coaching situation issues in the offseason, how each responds will be a huge deal here.
Northern Illinois vs South Florida (-6.5)
I think USF is more than a touchdown better, though I really don't feel strongly about this one.
UConn vs South Carolina (-4.5)
UConn 24, South Carolina 20
No one is really paying attention to the Huskies, but they're a decent football team, more than good enough to knock off a South Carolina team that is unlikely to be fully focused on an opponent they won't think highly of.
Oklahoma St vs Ole Miss (-3)
Miss 28, OK St 24
I don't trust either team to play well or play poorly. This should be a good, entertaining game, but either one could win by two touchdowns.
East Carolina vs Arkansas (-7.5)
Arkansas 27, ECU 24
This could easily be an upset. ECU is underrated and under-appreciated, and Arkansas is a bit up and down. Over a touchdown is just too high of a line here.
Michigan St vs Texas Tech (-7)
Texas Tech 35, Michigan St 20
The Mike Leach drama is a huge distraction for the Red Raiders, but that doesn't change the fact that they're much better than Michigan St. They should win easily.
Boise St vs TCU (-7.5)
TCU 28, Boise St 24
This line is a touch high. Both teams are very good, and this should be an excellent game, easily one of the most interesting of the entire bowl season.
Iowa vs Georgia Tech (-3.5)
Georgia Tech 35, Iowa 28
Georgia Tech's defense is awful, but even though Iowa will have extra time to prepare, the Yellow Jacket offense will simply be able to outscore the Hawkeyes.
Troy vs Central Michigan (-3.5)
Troy 31, CMU 30
When in doubt, pick the underdog.
Texas vs Alabama (-4)
Alabama 28, Texas 20
Texas is a quality team, but Alabama is simply better. Much is being made of the success the #2 teams have had, of Texas's upset over USC, and of Bama's loss to Utah. These things will only ensure that Alabama is focused and prepared for this game.

recover files/disks with damaged sectors
This program will help you recover disks with bad sectors. You can recover files as well complete devices. In case if finds sectors which simply cannot be recoverd, it writes an empty sector to the outputfile and continues.
If you're recovering a CD or a DVD and the program cannot read the sector in "normal mode", then the program will try to read the sector in "RAW mode" (without error-checking etc.). This toolkit also has a utility called 'mergebad' which merges multiple images into one.
