Dell shareholders approve $25 billion buyout
Dell shareholders have approved a buyout proposal worth $25 billion, ending months of conflict over the fate of the ailing personal computer maker.
Shareholders will receive a total of $13.88 per share: $13.75 for each share of common stock held plus a special dividend worth 13 cents per share. Approval of the deal from founder Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners is based on a "preliminary vote tally," Dell said in a statement.
The deal also takes Dell private, ending a 25-year run as a publicly traded company. Shares of Dell are unchanged, at $13.85, in trading today.
"I am pleased with this outcome and am energized to continue building Dell into the industry's leading provider of scalable, end-to-end technology solutions," said Michael Dell, who serves as the company's chairman and CEO, in a statement.
In a conference call hosted after the announcement, Michael Dell said he will begin a "multiyear" endeavor to expand into new areas such as enterprise, cloud computing and security services. "We plan to go back to our roots, focusing on the entrepreneurial spirit that made Dell one of the fastest growing and most successful companies in history," he said.
Despite a slowdown in the PC market and a push toward new services, Dell Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden says the company remains committed to PCs. "We'll continue to make investments to play a leadership role in the PC business," he says.
Dell and Silver Lake's plan — originally revealed in February — had been met with fierce opposition from shareholders Southeastern Asset Management and activist investor Carl Icahn. Earlier this week, Icahn ended his efforts to stop the deal, but remains against it.
"I continue to believe that the price being paid by Michael Dell/Silver Lake to purchase our company greatly undervalues it," Icahn said in a letter.
The buyout is expected to close by Nov. 1, and shares of Dell will continue to trade until the deal closes. Michael Dell would own 75% of the company once the merger is cleared, according to Gladden.
With a buyout deal complete, Dell can now shift toward revitalizing its business. "While they still have a really strong base on the PC side, they've been trying to move toward a more comprehensive IT solutions kind of company," says Forrester analyst J.P. Gownder.
Dell and fellow PC companies have struggled in recent years as more consumers opt for more mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Global PC shipments have fallen for five straight months — the longest slump ever.
"The PC business is in a tough spot," says IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell. "We don't see any rapid turnaround anytime soon."

On September 19, 2001, CBS reported:
Sources tell CBS News that the afternoon before the attack, alarm bells were sounding over unusual trading in the U.S. stock options market.
An extraordinary number of trades were betting that American Airlines stock price would fall.
The trades are called "puts" and they involved at least 450,000 shares of American. But what raised the red flag is more than 80 percent of the orders were "puts", far outnumbering "call" options, those betting the stock would rise.
Sources say they have never seen that kind of imbalance before, reports CBS News Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson. Normally the numbers are fairly even.
After the terrorist attacks, American Airline stock price did fall obviously by 39 percent, and according to sources, that translated into well over $5 million total profit for the person or persons who bet the stock would fall.
At least one Wall Street firm reported their suspicions about this activity to the SEC shortly after the attack.
The same thing happened with United Airlines on the Chicago Board Options Exchange four days before the attack. An extremely unbalanced number of trades betting United's stock price would fall — also transformed into huge profits when it did after the hijackings.
"We can directly work backwards from a trade on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The trader is linked to a brokerage firm. The brokerage firm received the order to buy that 'put' option from either someone within a brokerage firm speculating, or from one of the customers," said Randall Dodd of the Economic Strategy Institute.
U.S. investigators want to know whether Osama bin Laden was the ultimate "inside trader" — profiting from a tragedy he's suspected of masterminding to finance his operation. Authorities are also investigating possibly suspicious trading in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Japan.
On September 29, 2001, the San Francisco Chronicle pointed out:
"Usually, if someone has a windfall like that, you take the money and run," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Whoever did this thought the exchange would not be closed for four days.
"This smells real bad."
There was an unusually large jump in purchases of put options on the stocks of UAL Corp. and AMR Corp. in the three business days before the attack on major options exchanges in the United States. On one day, UAL put option purchases were 25 times greater than the year-to-date average. In the month before the attacks, short sales jumped by 40 percent for UAL and 20 percent for American.
Spokesmen for British securities regulators and the AXA Group also confirmed yesterday that investigations are continuing.
The source familiar with the United trades identified Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, the American investment banking arm of German giant Deutsche Bank, as the investment bank used to purchase at least some of the options.
Last weekend, German central bank president Ernst Welteke said a study pointed to "terrorism insider trading" in those stocks.
The Chronicle illustrated the story with the following chart:
On October 19, 2001, the Chronicle wrote:
On Oct. 2, Canadian securities officials confirmed that the SEC privately had asked North American investment firms to review their records for evidence of trading activity in the shares of 38 companies, suggesting that some buyers and sellers might have had advance knowledge of the attacks.
We don't need to even discuss conspiracy theories about what happened on 9/11 to be incredibly disturbed about what happened after: the government's obstructions of justice.
Indeed, the 9/11 Commissioners themselvesare disturbed:
- The Commission's co-chairs said that the CIA (and likely the White House) "obstructed our investigation"
- 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn't have access . . . ."
- 9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting"
- 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up"
- The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) – who led the 9/11 staff's inquiry – said "At some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened". He also said "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true."
Afterword: Footnote 130 to chapter 5 of the official 9/11 Commission Report states:
Highly publicized allegations of insider trading in advance of 9/11 generally rest on reports of unusual pre-9/11 trading activity in companies whose stock plummeted after the attacks. Some unusual trading did in fact occur, but each such trade proved to have an innocuous explanation. For example, the volume of put options- investments that pay off only when a stock drops in price-surged in the parent companies of United Airlines on September 6 and American Airlines on September 10-highly suspicious trading on its face. Yet, further investigation has revealed that the trading had no connection with 9/11. A single U.S.-based institutional investor with no conceivable ties to al Qaeda purchased 95 percent of the UAL puts on September 6 as part of a trading strategy that also included buying 115,000 shares of American on September 10. Similarly, much of the seemingly suspicious trading in American on September 10 was traced to a specific U.S.-based options trading newsletter, faxed to its subscribers on Sunday, September 9, which recommended these trades. These examples typify the evidence examined by the investigation. The SEC and the FBI, aided by other agencies and the securities industry, devoted enormous resources to investigating this issue, including securing the cooperation of many foreign governments. These investigators have found that the apparently suspicious consistently proved innocuous. Joseph Cella interview (Sept. 16, 2003; May 7, 2004; May 10-11, 2004); FBI briefing (Aug. 15, 2003); SEC memo, Division of Enforcement to SEC Chair and Commissioners, "Pre-September 11, 2001 Trading Review," May 15, 2002; Ken Breen interview (Apr. 23, 2004); Ed G. interview (Feb. 3, 2004).
Did the Commission have full access to information regarding put options? Was the Commission misled, as it was on other issues? Was evidence destroyed or fabricated? We will never know, as the underlying documents have – according to the SEC – been destroyed.

Honduras edges El Salvador late; Haiti shuts out Trinidad and Tobago
The first game of Friday's CONCACAF Gold Cup doubleheader at Sun Life Stadium, Haiti's 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago, possessed all the finish. The second game showed everything but finish — until right before the finish.
Two minutes into injury time, Honduras' Edder Delgado Zeron one-timed an El Salvador clear of a free kick back into the area where it found Jorge Claros Juarez behind the El Salvador defense. Claros Juarez rifled a drive into the far-upper corner for a 1-0 Honduras win.
El Salvador's Kevin Santamaria Guzman came close to breaking the scoreless tie first, in the 87th minute. Santamaria Guzman neatly swiped the ball from Honduran backliner Brayan Beckeles feet outside the area, then immediately fired only to hit the right post.
Honduras, which beat Haiti on Monday in New Jersey, keeps the lead in Group B with six points going into its Monday game with Trinidad in Houston. Haiti sits second with three points. Trinidad and El Salvador each have one point from their tie Monday.
Friday's announced attendance was 28,713.
Trinidad and Tobago coach Stephen Hart wanted more passion and creativity from his side Friday. Perhaps Hart should also request more finishing skill, which is what Haiti's Jean Eudes Maurice provided for Haiti to score once in each half.
The win broke a seven-game winless streak in international matches for Haiti.
Maurice opened the scoring in the 16th minute.
"On the first goal, we failed to press the ball," Hart said. "We knew they liked to shoot from outside. The shot came in and he got the rebound. We played some better football in the second half of the first half. At times, we were playing ball possession for ball possession's sake."
The second goal began with a Maurice run up the middle, then a feed to Yves Hadley Desmaret coming down the left flank. Desmaret's cross met a desperate, lunging clearing attempt by Trinidad's Carlyle Mitchell, which only put the ball on Maurice's foot with the net beckoning. Maurice buried the shot and Trinidad.
"We lacked any sort of movement in the final third to get behind them," Hart said. "One of the things we needed to do was press Haiti high up the pitch and take advantage of the wide parts of the field. When we did that, we got our best chances."
In Friday's postgame, Haiti coach Israel Blake Cantero wound up answering more questions about who he played and substituted Monday than what his team did Friday.
Through an interpreter, Cantero called "immature" any idea that personal problems with Jeff Louis led to his substituting Jean Phillippe Peguero for Louis on Monday.
"Last game against Honduras, in the first 45 minutes, we had five clear chances to score," Cantero said with a laugh. "But you're saying because I made bad substitutions."

ABC's Good Morning America on Friday ignored new details of Barack Obama's pay-for-access scheme, the only morning show to skip the story. The President's campaign group, now renamed Organizing for Action (OFA), has promised quarterly meetings with the President for donations of $500,000. NBC's Today and CBS This Morning both covered the growing controversy. GMA, which did find time to focus on the latest Justin Bieber gossip, avoided it.
Today's Chuck Todd offered surprisingly hard-hitting criticism of Obama, lecturing, "When it comes to Barack Obama's views on money and politics, his actions have rarely matched his words...When it comes to big money in politics, President Obama has often talked the talk...But critics say he's rarely walked the walk." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Todd highlighted the hypocrisy: "Adding fuel to the fire, reports that OFA organizers are considering promising donors who give $500,000 quarterly meetings with President Obama, a practice candidate Obama once criticized."
Todd first got to this story on the February 25 edition of MSNBC's Daily Rundown. As the MRC's Brent Baker pointed out: "Yet, though Todd is NBC's chief White House correspndent, nothing about it aired on NBC's Today, Nightly News nor Meet the Press all weekend, Monday or Tuesday morning."
The liberal Fred Wertheimer of Democracy 21 complained, "President Obama ought to shut down this organization promptly." Way back on January 23, he assailed the plan in a Huffington Post op-ed. Wertheimer excoriated the "dangerous and unprecedented path" the President has set upon.
Although ABC ignored this story, the network has previously highlighted Wertheimer when he's gone after Republicans.
In the same week that the administration cancelled White House tours for the public, citing sequestration, the President's group announced that a $500,000 donation can guarantee the wealthy access to the White House. One would think that such an apparent double standard would interest ABC. Yet, the network hasn't covered OFA since January 22.
On that day's World News, Jon Karl blandly explained, "The President's new advocacy group will operate like a campaign, running TV ads and sending volunteers out to knock on doors, promoting the President's agenda."
Over on CBS This Morning, Charlie Rose interviewed Jim Messina and grilled Obama's former campaign manager. Rose warned the Democrat, "...This is the kind of thing that President Obama would be the first person to criticize Republican supporters for, and that it sounds like giving people an opportunity to pay for access."
Rose pressed, "It's clear that people who contribute to this are promised some ability to come to the White House and meet with the President."
Norah O'Donnell deemed it a "double standard." She lamented, "You've got people who can... contribute unlimited amounts of money, and the President's going to go talk to them."
A transcript of the March 8 Today segment, which aired at 7:15am EST, follows:
LESTER HOLT: Government watchdogs are raising new questions this morning about an advocacy group pushing President Obama's agenda. Are wealthy donors being promised special access to the President? NBC's chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd is at the White House for us. Chuck, good morning.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Money and Politics; $500,000 for A Meeting With President Obama]
CHUCK TODD: Good morning, Lester. You know, when it comes to Barack Obama's views on money and politics, his actions have rarely matched his words. And with word that he wants to keep his political machine alive, how he plans on going about raising money for that group is coming under new scrutiny. When it comes to big money in politics, President Obama has often talked the talk.
BARACK OBAMA: If your voices aren't heard, then the lobbyists and special interests, they'll fill the void.
TODD: But critics say he's rarely walked the walk In 2008, he was the first presidential candidate to quit the public financing system, raising and spending unlimited amounts of money, leading to the two most expensive elections in history. In 2010, he lectured the Supreme Court over its Citizens United decision.
OBAMA: The Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the flood gates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections.
TODD: But in 2012, faced with millions of dollars of unlimited Republican super-PAC money, the Obama campaign decided to get into the super-PAC game.
DAVID AXELROD: We had to make an adjustment.
TODD: Now Mr. Obama is keeping his campaign machine alive with a non-profit group, Organizing for Action, headed by former campaign manager Jim Messina. While OFA is trumpeted as a grassroots effort, the money behind it could be anything but. As organizers will accept unlimited donations from individuals, while promising full disclosure of its donors. Adding fuel to the fire, reports that OFA organizers are considering promising donors who give $500,000 quarterly meetings with President Obama, a practice candidate Obama once criticized.
OBAMA: Even if they're not asking for a quid pro quo, it means that the people you're talking to all the time are folks who – they're not struggling.
TODD: OFA head Jim Messina is defending donors' potential meetings with the President, insisting they will not have influence, writing, "These are not opportunities to lobby – they are briefings on the positions the President has taken and the status of seeing them through." But government watchdogs are skeptical.
FRED WERTHEIMER [DEMOCRACY 21]: It is a vehicle that will allow big donors to buy corrupting influence with the administration. President Obama ought to shut down this organization promptly.
TODD: And the other issue here, Lester, that watchdog groups say, he's exasperating [exacerbating] an already bad system by doing this and an ends-justifies-the-means mentality is the wrong way to go.

Disposable Sleep Apnea Screener
Many people that are suffering from sleep apnea still go undiagnosed today. With that in mind, the introduction of a disposable, easy to use sleep apnea screener is good news!
The SleepStrip™ is a novel, low-cost device designed to help physicians screen patients for sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) reliably and conveniently and was designed by Roxon Medi-Tech Ltd. Roxon is a Canadian-owned corporation dedicated to supplying quality specialized equipment to medical facilities. Their focus is on Cardiac, Respiratory and Sleep, and Neurology equipment.
The award-winning SleepStrip™ home-screening device has many advantages. An at-home study may be done in the comfort of the patient`s natural sleeping environment. It is an accurate, low-cost screen that has good correlation with sleep lab results. It is small, lightweight, and easy to mail and provides instant results requiring no additional equipment.
SleepStrip™ works by using three miniature sensors that monitor the patient`s respiration all through the night. The integrated CPU analyzes respiration patterns to detect and count each apnea event as it occurs. The SAS severity score is calculated the morning after the study based on the patient`s AHI and permanently displayed on the built-in electrochemical display. Consult your physician for test availability.

Sleep Hygiene: Tips for getting a good night`s sleep
What determines a good night's sleep varies from one individual to another. Trying a variety of things may help in finding the best routine for the perfect night's sleep.
Ten sleep hygiene rules to consider adopting:
Source: Mayo Clinic brochure on the topic of Insomnia published by Mayo Clinic Press.
Simply snoring or something more?
Are you getting jabbed in the ribs from your bed partner at night? If so, you may be familiar with grumbling and complaints about your snoring.
The nightly noise you make can disrupt their sleep and your own. It may even be a sign of a more serious condition called sleep apnea.
If you are experiencing the symptoms of sleep apnea your throat may become blocked during sleep and you might stop breathing for short periods of time. You briefly wake up to breathe. This cycle repeats itself many times throughout the night.
You may also snort or gasp in your sleep, wake up feeling tired or with a headache, and feel very sleepy throughout the day. You may find that at times it is difficult to concentrate and you may experience problems with your memory.
The good news is that a range of treatment options are now available to help you breathe freely again so that you can get a good night`s sleep.
To assist you in determining the best treatment option for you, visit with your doctor. An overnight sleep study may be suggested to help determine whether or not your snoring is due to sleep apnea.
Your doctor will gather information about your sleep habits, such as how long you have been snoring, how well you sleep, whether or not you are sleepy during the daytime, your lifestyle, work and any medical conditions that you have. The impact of snoring on your life and others that live with you may be discussed.
If a sleep study is suggested, this will give you the best picture of how you breathe at night when you sleep. You may be asked to spend a night at a sleep clinic or you may be loaned a small monitor to use at home. Your breathing, heart rate, oxygen levels and other functions will be measured and recorded. The findings will help determine which treatments will be best for you.

Depression & Sleep
Do You Have Trouble Sleeping at Night?
In some cases, sleep problems may be related to a condition called depression. Depression is being recognized as a condition that involves how our body functions, how we feel about ourselves and how we respond to various events in our lives.
Sleep troubles are important features of depression. Symptoms may include the following:
If you have trouble sleeping and also have two or more of the above symptoms, inform your health care provider.

'94 Bordeaux. Awesome!!!
More posts
- Ruby red. Red cherry, mocha, blueberry, floral note, meat juice, and wet earth, iron. Short nose Medium body, candied black fruits, candied fruit. smooth, but concentration not too great, probably becoz of the vintage. A bit of heat, tannins are sweet, but a bit firm and good structure.
- Dark red, with slight Browning at the rim. Full bodied. Currants, dark fruits, licorice, cocoa, minerals, touch of herbs quite nice, though not crisp. Taste of cigar wrapper, smoke, coffee bean, with a drop of oak. Nice nose, though short. Tannins still apparent and dry. Acidity is low, couldn't mask the alcohol that well, even low level 12.5%. Structure is solid, lacking a good balance. Finish of smoke, bitter dark cocoa. Short unfortunately
- Amazing Bordeaux!!
- Très agréable Pomerol, au nez distingué, parfait avec les ris de veau.

Hamilton revealed to the press that Rosberg said after the race he had not avoided the second lap collision between the pair in order to "prove a point", with Toto Wolff later clarifying the championship leader had not said he made contact intentionally. In a video blog posted to his YouTube channel Rosberg insists he does not see the need to give a public explanation of what happened.
"I've been told what Lewis said in the press and the way he stated his version of events," Rosberg said. "All I can say is that my view of events are very different. It's just better now that I don't now give all the details of my opinion and all that, I hope you respect that. I prefer to keep it internal.
"We have a very good and important discussion after the race. When such things occur we must review them and that's what we did. Everyone gave his opinion and now we need to move forward. There will be another discussion for sure as we need to see if we need to change our approach in future."

Richard Castle will have an unexpected guest at Thanksgiving this year.
On Monday's Castle (10/9c, ABC), Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle (Nathan Fillion) must care for a baby boy after a dying man leaves the child with a priest. While trying to solve the murder, the pair also takes on the difficult task of finding the orphan's parents.
Castle postmortem: Stana Katic on "crushing" twist and Beckett's next moveNeedless to say, babysitting gives the newly engaged couple a chance to play house. But based on the exclusive sneak peek below, the results might be mixed. Although Castle proudly proclaims, "I don't know if you know this about me, but babies love me. I'm the Baby Whisperer," Beckett has a different reaction."I'm suddenly getting a clear and frightening visual as to what my future will look like," Beckett says. Might she be fearful of raising a child of her own?Also feeling the pressure is Detective Ryan (Seamus Dever ), who, despite training for the arrival of his own baby, isn't able to get little Cosmo to stop crying. Yes, that's right: Castle has named the baby Cosmo. To find out why, click play below.Castle airs Mondays at 10/9c on ABC.

Acura TSX Lease Questions
Forgot to mention, this is for a 3 year 36,000 mi lease.0
Hi movol. The November program is out. Acura's November buy rate lease money factor for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX is .00082 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Hi gg014. the money factor and acquisition fee that you were given look good. They're right in line with Acura's base rates for this model.
Let's take a look at the selling price that you are being given. The dealer invoice price of a 2012 TSX 4-cylinder with the Tech Package is $32,020. This drops to right around $31,000 once we subtract the $1,000 available dealer cash from that. That's the exact selling price that you were quoted, so you are getting a good deal. Of course, you're really at around $400 over invoice after taking the doc fee into account, but that's still pretty good.
I'm not surprised about all the fees. Acura charges the acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. The doc fee is fluff, but in the big picture you're still getting this car for a good price. Most of the other fees and taxes are government mandated.

Thanks a lot car_man!
Is it typical for lessees to roll the acquisition, doc and tag fees into the capitalized amount? Washington DC charges a monthly 10% sales tax on the lease payments, so it seems like it makes better sense to pay these in cash rather than rolling them into the cost and essentially paying taxes on these fees. I think DC also charges sales tax on any cap cost reduction made, so I'm trying to figure out the optimal amount to put down, I was thinking between 1500-2000. Any suggestions?
I'll try to see if I can talk them out of the doc fee, we'll see how it goes! Thanks again!0
Thanks Car man. Do you know the mf and residuals on both the 2012 and 2013 TSX? Looking at 10k and 15k miles. Also you mentioned to another post that there was a $1000 cash incentive? Any opinion on the better deal 2012 or 2013? Thanks for your help.0
Does anyone know if the 1,000 dealer cash that is available on the 2012 TSX is available on the 2013? I cant find mention of it anywhere on the web.0
0 is the optimal amount to put down. $400 per month is all you should pay for this car and at this moment in time. Once again 36 payments of $400 each. Just think about a car lease a if it is an appartment rent. Would you put any money down to reduce your monthly rent?0
Absolutely gg014. Consumers roll those fees into their payments all the time. I see your point about not waiting to pay taxes on the fees.
You definitely should go with zero capitalized cost reduction on a lease.

Here you go movol. Acura's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a base 2013 TSX with 15,000 miles per year are .00082 and 58% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 model are .00011 and 52%.
If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, the residual values would be 2% higher. The 10k residual would be 3% higher.
There is a $1,000 cash incentive on the 2012 model, but nothing on the 2013 model.
You should be able to get a lower payment on a '12 than on a '13 at this point.

Hi movol. The dealer cash is only available on the 2012 model, not the 2013.

kchoffman Posts: 5I was offered a 36 month, 10k a year lease on a 2012 TSX for 339+tax
so 362.73 tax included a month. 0 down. 1200 total out of pocket "inception fees"
does this seem like a descent deal.
the online "special on acura website is 350 a month 0 down plus taxes titles and fees. I wish there was a source or database where people posted their leases, instead of having to haggle with these south florida dealerships.
Thank you!0
teddybear11 Posts: 10When I lease mind in May 2012. I paid $1,287 out of pocket at signing and $295+tax for 35 months after that and got 15,000 miles a years for 36 months lease. Hopefully this help.0
jefroyster Posts: 14Was quoted the following for a TSX base:
12,000 miles per year
$556.84 due at signing (consists of 1st payment and title/registration fees)
$392.84 monthly payment for remaining 35 payments
$0 due at signing (sign and drive lease)
$404.68 monthly payment (you will only make 35 total payments)
Residual for 12,000 miles per year – 60% which equates to residual value of $18,843
Residual for 10,000 miles per year – 61% which equates to residual value of $18,157.05
Money factor for lease with first payment and title/registration fees due at signing - .00082
Money factor for sign and drive lease - .00072
If you wanted a TSX with the Technology Package, the payment would be about $60 more than a TSX without the Technology Package.
Quoted :
Offer Price $28,300
Wisconsin Title/Registration Fees
Title/Registration: $159.00
Other Wisconsin DMV Fees
Vehicle registration: $75.00
Title: $69.00
Security interest (lien): $10.00
Counter service fee: $5.00
Tax & Total
State Sales Tax $1,415.00
Total $29,874.00
Thoughts? I do expect a money factor issue as I'm still recovering from a credit hit due to a short sale of my home for a job relocation. But, that's my worry as long as the numbers are OK.0
I was not looking to buy a new car, but my 2003 BMW 325i has an oil sludge problem that has resulted in it not getting enough oil pressure, so it just stops. The mechanic said they can try to clean it for $1000, but there is no guarantee of how long it will work. So, either spend $1000 on what will definitely be a temporary fix to a non-fixable problem, or off to get a new car. I went to the Acura dealership in Ocala, Florida, and I was offered a lease with the following terms:
Trade in my BMW (rough trade in is $4600, so maybe worth a little less since it wont run?)
0 due at signing
$280 plus tax for total of $296.80 per month for 36 months
12k per year
I dont know if this is good or not because of the condition of my car (which i was honest with them about). Please advise. Thanks.0
I forgot to include in the post above that it is a 2012 base model that i was looking at.0
nolagrl Posts: 1Hi Everyone,
Received an offer to lease a 2012 Acura TSX (base model) for $2500 down, 12K, $299/month (includes taxes) and was wondering if this is a good deal. Thanks in advance- this is my first lease experience.0
zbownas Posts: 3I'm trading in and will come out ahead about $3000, so putting that into the lease on a 2012 Sportwagon with the tech package, 15k miles/year, 36 mos I was quoted $499 a month. Is that a good price? Thanks for any help!
And HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :-)0
Does not look like it is. Here is what I suggest you do.
1. You have $3,000 in your trade. Tell them to cut you a check for $3,000. This is your money and should NOT be used for downpayment of any kind.
2. Tell them that you would like to pay $425 per month with all fees and taxes included in the monthly payment.
2. $425 is a very good deal but $430-440 are reasonable too. Once again - ALL fees and taxes included in thos amount.0
rmpierce1 Posts: 4Car_man: I am in negotiations with a dealer for a new 2012 TSX Wagon with Tech. MSRP is $36,800. I have been offered a price of $32,978 (their first offer). That is nearly $4,000 off MSRP (including the $1,000 dealer cash), which I think is pretty good. I just want to make sure they don't try to make it back on me with financing.
I have done a little research and tried to find money factor and residuals, but have only been able to find them for November, or for the 2013's, or for the sedan. The dealer assured me that he can lease this car, and that the "rates" are better than they are on the 2013's. I've found 0.00011 and 52% for the Sedan for November. I'm looking at 15,000/year, with nothing down. I'll pay TTL and acquisition out of pocket. Lease tax in PA is 10%.
What should the monthly payment be for these parameters?
Are these good money factor and residuals for Dec, or have the rates changed/are they different for the wagon?
If I was at or below $450/mo, I could probably live with it. Thanks so much for your assistance.
I'd love to close this deal by Friday and have this car for the holidays. Another dealer quoted me $31,613 for a 2012 TSX Sedan w/Tech, for a payment of $480/mo (TTL/Acqisition in). MSRP was $34,005. I don't think that's a very good deal at all, either price or the lease deal.0
Hi rmpierce1. A $4,000 discount is a very good selling price for a 2012 TSX. There's actually a total of $1,000 dealer cash on it right now ($1,000 of that is hidden and most people don't know about) so you're probably right at around dealer invoice minus incentives.
Acura's December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 TSX Wagon Tech with 15,000 miles per year are .00082 and 56% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
Using the prices that you mentioned in your post, an MSRP of $36,800 and a selling price of $32,978, and the above lease program, I estimate that this car would have a zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $388.

I was quoted 359/mo. + tax/15K/36 mo. sign and drive on 2013 TSX base lease.
I would like to lease a 2013 TSX w/Tech. Sales Manager told me it costs 45/mo. + tax more. That would be 404/mo. + tax. Is the Tech package worth the extra cost (1620 over lease term)?0
1. I've got a TSX tech in January for $400 per month with all fees included in monthly payments. You should be able to do as good or better now. My lease is 12K miles per year, 15K were +$6.
2. It depends. For me the tech package does worth the additional $45. You get a functional, but for sure, not the best navigation system, a backup camera (my wife really wanted it) and a decent sound system.0
Thanks! They threw in free oil changes and tire rotation for the entire least term and we closed the deal today. Another dealer wanted $60/mo. more and no maintenance. It pays to shop around.0
rback36 Posts: 1Good for you! Did you put any money down or is the $404 inclusive of all the fees?
I'm in Southern California and I was quoted the following w/no money down:
2013 TSX Base: $408/month (inclusive of estimated tax and fees)
2013 TSX w/Tech: $468/month (inclusive of estimated tax and fees)
Both for 10k/36 months.
I'm trying to shop around to see if I can get a better deal.0
mbac23 Posts: 12The tech package is not worth the extra $45 a month which is why I ended up getting the base model instead. I also looked at the tech package when I was at the dealership and the few extra features was not worth it. The sound system also sounded identical to the base. I leased mine for $279/mo including taxes for 36mo/12kyr with $2000 total out of pocket. I believe the dealer used the $2000 for down and paid for my registration,title, and other fees.0
Including the tax, $381 for 36 mos./15K for the base TSX, plus oil changes and tire rotations for the lease term. I only paid 1st mo. and registration, before driving it home. Fees were rolled into the lease. The other dealer wanted $60/mo. more and no service, and that was the dealer where I leased my last 5 Acuras. They used to offer the best price, but those days are over. So much for loyalty.0
It sounds like we got similar good deals. The tech package was not worth the extra $$ for me either. I did notice a slight improvement in the sound quality, but the base stereo is good enough for me. I just turned up the base and subwoofer settings.0
Car_man I am looking for the newest figures and any incentives on the 2013 TSX Wagon w 10k miles for 36 mos.
Also if there are additional incentives on the 2102s that you know about I'd love to hear. There is still a handful of 2012 wagon w tech locally0
Turns out there aren't any 2013s TSX wagons to be had until the 2012 inventory is depleted. Please give me the figures for 2012 base and tech for 36 mos and 10k miles.
Greetings chuckjr. Acura's February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX Wagon with 10,000 miles per year are .00011 and 61% for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
The numbers for the 2012 version of this car are .00011 and 54% with $1,000 dealer cash.

Hand it to Paul Krugman: He's not out to make friends.
Today he appeared on ABC's Sunday morning show, This Week, and then immediately afterwords wrote a blog post basically calling all of his other panelists dumb.
Those other panelists, by the way, included such names as Google's Eric Schmidt, Carly Fiorina, former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, George Will, and David Walker.
As Krugman sees it, all these "serious people" spout nothing but cliches (entitlement reform! more education! tax reform! more help for small businesses! more skilled workers!) whereas the crux of the problem in the US, says Krugman, is lack of demand, and our pathetic response to the crisis (not enough fiscal stimulus). Because all these smart people believe nonsense, the title of Krugman's post was We're Doomed.
Without a doubt, the best part of the video is where Carly Fiorina gives a big soliloquy about tax rates and how high they are, and how it's killing competitiveness, and Krugman flatly responds: "Nothing you just said about taxes is actually true." That specific moment starts around the 8:14 mark.

Dream Machines
It's hot. The workload is unending. Time to escape! A bathtub-on-wheels might
be just the ticket. Who needs soap when your soul can be cleansed by the view across New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula into azure sea and sky. But the
rolling fixture is only part of the story (here it is back in place by the shower: "Hey Honey, where did you park the tub this time?!") It's in a very seductive modern vacation cabin designed by innovative Auckland/Queenstown architects Crosson Clarke Carnachan (photos by Patrick Reynolds via Trendir) for the
Crosson family. Hinged wall sections drop to the ground like portcullises to form
spacious decks beside the central breezeway, which functions as an indoor-
outdoor living room facing the sea view; bunk rooms, bathroom at the side. The
decks fold back up (and shutters cover windows) to secure the house when the owners are away.
Another clever design for a seaside location by the same firm takes escape to a delightful extreme: holiday house as kinetic sculpture and vacation transport. It's
called The Sled and, according to the architects, was designed as a "response to the ever-changing landscape that lines the beachfront in this coastal erosion zone." It's built on big wooden skids so a tractor can tow it to a new section of the
dune as needed. When closed up it resembles a contraption for a Star Wars film (Jabba the Hutt's cabana, er, hut??). Then when the family arrives, the big
shutter winches open to form an awning over the two-story glass and steel doors
in the living/dining/cooking space. The sleeping loft is accessible by a ladder up the
side wall. Every inch of space is utilized for storage, seating, or other functions (photos of this house by Jackie Meiring, courtesy Crosson Clarke Carnachan).
More ideas for cabins and retreats can be found in our Micro Cottages and Tiny Houses Collection, such as Studio Tower Plan 479-6 by Peter Brachvogel
and Stella Carosso, which could be incorporated into a larger design, as shown above, when time and resources allow.
Sharing Photos in a New Way
Because this is prime camera season I thought it appropriate to mention a useful new free photo app for smartphones called Photo Circle (full disclosure: it was developed by a young cousin). It creates a private shared album for friends and
family — you simply put your phones together to create a Photo Circle and start taking pictures. The technical description is "proximity pairing of smartphones with ultra-high frequency sound waves." You can share comments on the pictures, bring new people into your circle via email, and create as many circles as you want. My pictures are mostly of houses, needless to say…

Word out of Idaho is that the Ron Paul bloc in the Gem State's GOP, perhaps encouraged by recent events at the Nevada and Maine state Republican conventions, plans to attempt a similar strategy.
According to local media, many supporters of Ron Paul in Idaho are "so disgusted" with their man's third place finish in the Idaho caucus that they are anxiously engaged in righting that wrong.
How serious are the backers of the libertarian-leaning Texas Congressman? "I'll do the scorched earth if I have to," declared Ryan Davidson, third vice chairman of the Ada County Republican Party and a grassroots Paul campaign organizer.
The plan as it's been revealed is for the Paul camp to use state party rules to their advantage and wrest control of the GOP state convention in June through the accumulation of delegates in the little-publicized precinct committee meetings to be held statewide on May 15.
In a video posted to YouTube, Davidson boldly describes the scheme:
If two-thirds of the delegates to the Idaho State Convention are Ron Paul supporters, they can vote to suspend the rules, overturn the results of the caucus and award all the national delegates to Ron Paul.
An attempt to link to the video in this article reveals that it has been removed.
As readers may recall, Mitt Romney (the RNC's "presumptive nominee") carried Idaho, winning 62 percent of the vote at caucus on March 6.
This was Idaho's first presidential caucus (the state previously held a primary in late May), and over 44,000 Republicans participated in the inaugural process.
Official results of the caucus indicate that Ron Paul received 8,086 votes (29 votes fewer than former candidate Rick Santorum), or 18.1 percent of the total. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich brought up the rear winning just 940 votes.
As was the case in Maine and Nevada, there are those who argue that the delegate-targeting strategy is invalid and that any delegate elected at the state convention must commit himself to cast a vote for the eventual Republican nominee (read: Mitt Romney) at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August.
Much of the debate over whether these so-called "rogue delegates" can vote their consciences rather than be bound to vote for the candidate who won the state's popular vote centers on the interpretation of a Republican Party rule.
Republican National Committee Rule Number 38 states: "No delegate or alternate delegate shall be bound by any attempt of any state or Congressional district to impose the unit rule."
The Unit Rule is a rule requiring all delegates from a state or congressional district to vote as a unit, that is to say, for the same candidate.
Some argue that the states get around this rule by not technically binding all of their delegates. States will bypass the strictures of RNC Rule 38 by binding all but a few of their state's delegates, thus obeying the letter of the law if not the spirit.
But is such a technical tactic permitted by the Republican National Committee?
In an article published by FairVote.org, the following analysis of the situation was provided:
Rather, we explain that the RNC rules' provision on the unit rule make it clear that delegates aren't bound to vote according to how most delegates from their state are voting. In fact, delegates can vote according to their own judgment and conscience, and that this is most likely to take place in a state where a state party's winner-take-all rule has allowed a candidate to win all delegates primarily due to a split in the majority vote, or due to votes cast by non-Republican voters participating in the contest.
To explain our case, we look to the language of Rule 38, which was adopted in its current form in 1964. The rule states: "no delegate shall be bound by any attempt of any state or Congressional district to impose the unit rule." The unit rule does not prohibit a state from using a winner-take-all primary in the same way that Rule 15(b) prohibits most states from using a winner-take-all primary when holding a contest earlier than April 1st. However, the unit rule does prohibit binding delegates to vote according to how a majority of delegates from their state vote — again, a scenario most likely to occur in a state using the winner-take-all rule.
As set out in the Rules of the Republican Party, delegates have the ability to vote according to the delegates' preference, even if that is contrary to the outcome of each state's primary. According to one source, the legal counsel for the Republican National Convention in 2008 stated: "[The] RNC does not recognize a state's binding of national delegates, but considers each delegate a free agent who can vote for whoever they choose." Thus, if a delegate were to challenge his or her ability to vote as a free agent, he or she would have grounds under Rule 38.
Evidence of the RNC's interpretation of its own rule was presented in 2008 when a delegate from Utah refused to vote for John McCain, the winner of the Utah popular vote. The delegate wanted to cast a vote for Mitt Romney. When the matter was referred to the RNC's general counsel, the response is illuminating and likely relevant to the present Ron Paul controversy. The RNC attorney wrote:
"[The] RNC does not recognize a state's binding of national delegates, but considers each delegate a free agent who can vote for whoever they choose. The national convention allows delegates to vote for the individual of their choice, regardless of whether the person's name is officially placed into nomination or not."
That is about as clear and definitive a restatement of the RNC position as can be expected.
And, it appears to be good news for the state delegates from Nevada and Maine (and other states) who would like to see Ron Paul nominated from the convention floor.
There may be good reason, then, for the Idaho Ron Paul contingency to take heart. Not only do they have the state conventions in nearby Nevada and far away Maine to embolden them, but by implication, the RNC's own lawyer appears to approve of their plan, as well.
Curiously, the Ron Paul campaign's official response to the Idaho plan to mount a grassroots takeover of the state convention is not as favorable.
The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign released the following statement regarding the alleged "takeover" of the Idaho Republican Party State Convention:
Recent reports in The Idaho Statesman misrepresent the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign's involvement in the Idaho's Republican precinct captain races that follow Mitt Romney's first-place showing in the state's inaugural caucus that took place on March 6th.
The Ron Paul campaign's delegate-attainment strategy being implemented nationally at party processes that follow so-called "beauty contests" is not, and has never been, meant to somehow rewrite the outcome of past nominating contests.
In Idaho, isolated instances of grassroots activists working toward an ostensible "hostile takeover" of the GOP are not sanctioned by the Ron Paul national campaign.
Sanctioned or not, the Ron Paul campaign doesn't have to back a plan in order to benefit from it. Noticeably, there is nothing in the campaign manager's official statement that indicates that Paul would refuse to accept the 30 or so additional delegates should they be elected at the Idaho Republican Convention in Twin Falls on June 22.

HB1556 will be heard in the House Aerospace and Energy Committee at 1:30 Tuesday Feb. 26th Calls, emails needed today!
House Bill 1556-the Oklahoma Unmanned Aerial Surveillance Act
HB 1556 by Rep. Paul Wesselhoft requires law officers, absent an emergency, to obtain a warrant first before using drones for surveillance purposes and prohibits the state from outfitting drones with weapons.
The FAA estimates as many as 30,000 drones could be flying in US skies by 2020 and Oklahoma is poised to become a state leader in the drone industry. In fact, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched one of its first test flights for civil use of drones over the skies of Oklahoma in December 2012.
FORT SILL — The small, winged drone quietly soared overhead as SWAT team members closed in on a building at Fort Sill.
When a suspect sprinted from the structure, the drone banked through a cloudless afternoon sky in an effort to track the person.
A few miles away, two Lockheed Martin technicians sat in a converted bedroom of a ranch-style house using a laptop computer to control the drone's movements. They followed the action on a video relay. NewsOK, Dec. 31, 2012 Read more
Drones are capable highly advanced surveillance. Law enforcement drones can carry various types of equipment including live-feed video cameras, facial recognition, automatic license plate readers, infrared cameras and more. Drone manufacturers admit some are designed to carry "less lethal" weapons such as Tasers or rubber bullets and law enforcement has openly expressed interest in utilizing these weapons.
HB1556 will be heard in the House Aerospace and Energy Committee.(contact info below) Call and tell them that you want them to support HB 1556 for these reasons:
- Drones should be deployed by law enforcement only with a warrant, in an emergency, or when there are specific and articulable grounds to believe that the drone will collect evidence relating to a specific criminal act.
- Images should be retained only when there is reasonable suspicion that they contain evidence of a crime or are relevant to an ongoing investigation or trial.
- Usage policy on domestic drones should be decided by the public's representatives, not by police departments, and the policies should be clear, written, and open to the public.
- Use of domestic drones should be subject to open audits and proper oversight to prevent misuse.
- Domestic drones should not be equipped with lethal or non-lethal weapons.
Aerial, warrantless surveillance is a violation of our Fourth Amendment rights and our right to privacy!

Quinn Endorses de Blasio for Mayor
9.17.13 5:51pm
Quinn Finished Third in Last Week's Primary
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is endorsing her former Democratic foe, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, to be mayor.
Quinn was atop the polls for much of the Democratic primary. She was frequently targeted by de Blasio, especially for helping Mayor Michael Bloomberg run for a third term.
But the candidates set aside their differences for a City Hall news conference. Quinn said Tuesday she's proud to endorse de Blasio, and they downplayed their disagreements during the campaign.
Quinn finished third in the primary.
De Blasio became the undisputed Democratic nominee after runner-up Bill Thompson bowed out Monday.
He'll face Republican nominee Joe Lhota in the Nov. 5 general election.

Visit What are CFP Board-Registered Programs? for more information.
On March 4, 2010, CFP Board's Board of Directors approved the addition of a financial plan development course requirement to CFP Board's education standards, following thoughtful review of comments on the proposed requirement received during a 60-day comment period held in 2009. The course requirement has been designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of individuals seeking to attain CFP® certification and implement an assessment of their ability to deliver professional and competent financial planning services to the public.
All students of CFP Board-Registered Programs whose initial dates of matriculation occur on or after January 1, 2012 will be required to take this course. Completion of the course will be required for those who register under "Challenge" status for the March 2012 or later administrations of the CFP® Certification Examination. The information and resources on this page provide additional detail regarding the purpose, criteria and registration procedures for the Financial Plan Development Course.
CFP Board will require submission of all Financial Plan Development Course syllabi and assessment rubrics during the annual Registered Program registration renewal. The purpose of this ongoing evaluation is to ensure that all of the students enrolled in the various Registered Programs across the United States demonstrate the same minimum competency level relative to the Financial Plan Development Course learning objectives.
The Center is creating an academic home for the financial planning profession.

What is Rights of Way?
How does it affect broadband deployment?
Whether the library community should be involved in these issues, may depend upon how local libraries are tied into their local governments both organizationally and politically. With the huge changes and challenges to local franchising authority, there should still be a voice that pushes for the public interest - and the public sector - needs in lieu of the corporate interests getting access (free or otherwise) to the local rights-of-way.

Toby Keith Gives Fans a Peek at 'Clancy's Tavern' Artwork
We know the wait is killing you, Toby Keith fans, but it'll be another couple of months before you're allowed to unwrap/download/stream your copy of his latest album, 'Clancy's Tavern.'
In the meantime, however, Toby's decided to make the wait a little easier by giving you a peek at the artwork for the deluxe edition — which, if you're a true hardcore fan, is probably the version you're going to own, anyway.
The deluxe 'Clancy's Tavern' cover boasts a split shot of a bar, with stools, a half-full glass of beer, someone playing guitar, and a smiling Toby Keith — in short, exactly the type of establishment where every Keith fan would want to spend his or her Friday night.
The album's first single, 'Made in America,' has already cracked the country top 10. 'Clancy's Tavern' reaches store shelves on October 25.

At least 70 people have been injured since Saturday when the rioting broke out within hours of the killing of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos. Hundreds of stores have been damaged or destroyed.
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has ignored opposition calls for early elections and promised shopkeepers affected by riots generous compensation, including 10,000 (464,300 baht) handouts to cover short-term needs.
Although no major protests were planned yesterday, tension persisted in Athens and the northern city of Thessaloniki, students occupying their high schools and university faculties. They planned a demonstration in Athens today.
Authorities have renewed appeals for calm, with influential church leaders joining in attempts to ease tension.
While being generally tolerant of occasional outbreaks of violence during frequent demonstrations, Greeks have been shocked by the ferocity displayed by teenager rioters and the extent of the destruction.
''Is this our youth?'' exclaimed an elderly woman as she picked her way past the rubble of a burned out shop near the Athens Polytechnic, where some of the most severe rioting took place. ''Who needs youth like this? Why don't they go and burn the prime minister's house? What fault was it of these people [who lost their store]?''
Two separate opinion polls published on Wednesday, before the aid package was announced, showed 68% of Greeks disapproved of the government's handling of the crisis, and gave a nearly 5 percentage-point lead to the opposition Socialists.
The exact circumstances of the death are disputed.
Two police officers charged in the shooting said they had come under attack by rock-throwing youths, and that one of the officers fired warning shots. Witnesses who have spoken to the media disputed that account.
A prosecutor ordered the two officers remanded in custody late on Wednesday, pending trial. No date has been set.

FIFA probes France 'spy drone' claim
France manager Didier Deschamps has revealed concerns that his side's final World Cup preparations may have been spied on by a drone hovering over their training camp.
- Laurens: World Cup redemption for Evra?
- Ribery turned down painkilling injections
Les Bleus' buildup for Sunday's World Cup Group E match against Honduras in Porto Alegre, Brazil, at their base in Ribeirao Preto was disturbed by an unmanned aerial vehicle appearing over their heads.
It has not been confirmed to whom the device belonged or who was controlling it at the time, but Deschamps said such practices were becoming more commonplace in football and that world governing body FIFA was looking into the incident.
"Apparently drones are used more and more," Deschamps, a World Cup winner as a player with France in 1998, told a news conference. "It's not up to me. FIFA handles this and has been carrying out an inquiry. We don't want any intrusion into our privacy. It's very hard to fight this these days."
France will play their first World Cup fixture since the ignominious end to their 2010 campaign, when infighting within the squad and poor performances led to the 2006 finalist being eliminated at the group stage.
Deschamps insists that there is a much more positive air inside the camp as he prepares to enter his first major finals as an international manager.
"You shouldn't mention South Africa," he said. "We're now in another World Cup. We're in Brazil, and we're not going to be judged by what we did four years ago. It's wonderful to have a good atmosphere here. We have supporters behind the team."

DENVER - During an undefeated five-week run by the Los Angeles Clippers, the Denver Nuggets were just another team they beat along the way. The second time around, the Nuggets were the team that ground the Clippers' streak to a halt.
Danilo Gallinari led six Nuggets players in double figures with 17 points and Denver stopped the Clippers' franchise- record winning streak at 17 games with a 92-78 victory Tuesday night.
The Clippers' streak was the longest in the NBA since the Boston Celtics won 19 in a row from Nov. 15-Dec. 23, 2008.
"We were all a step slower today," said Blake Griffin, who had 12 points for the Clippers. "We've got to be better than that. We're not going to sit and cry on the plane and get beat down. We're not going to cause ourselves to lose our confidence, despite what people want us to do. That's the best thing about the NBA — you've got another game."
Griffin went 4 of 11 from the field — the first time he's shot below 50 per cent in 18 games.
Andre Iguodala said the victory against the NBA's hottest team could help Denver build "our confidence, our swagger.
"The Clippers have been playing with that the last 18 games. That builds into them winning. They have the mentality every night they're going to go out there and win. We've got to build the same thing and try to string along the same type of win streak."
The loss was the first for the Clippers since a 105-98 setback against New Orleans on Nov. 26. It also marked the end of a franchise-record seven-game winning streak on the road.
Kenneth Faried added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Nuggets, who won their eighth in a row at home.
The Clippers, whose point total was two above their season-low, were hurt by poor shooting from 3-point range (5 of 29, 17.2 per cent) and the free throw line (13 of 29, 44.8 per cent).
Eric Bledsoe also had 12 points, DeAndre Jordan had 11 and Chris Paul 10 for the Clippers.
"Maybe two or three of the 3's that we missed, they had a hand in our face," Paul said. "But we got all the shots that we wanted. There are going to be nights like that. It just hasn't happened for a while."
Andre Miller, starting in place of point guard Ty Lawson, had 12 points and 12 assists for the Nuggets. Lawson, the team said, has been bothered by tightness in his left Achilles' tendon for the past week, forcing him to miss a game for the first time this season.
"We don't win this game without Andre," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "He just got us easy baskets, got a lot of guys involved, gave our team a lot of confidence."
Miller said, "It was a good win against a good team. We beat them every quarter. It was a weird game, kind of slow. Both teams want to get up and down the court. It was one of those nights were we fell into some easy baskets. We controlled our turnovers and had the energy on our side."
Iguodala also helped out at point guard and chipped in with 12 points and eight assists for Denver, which lost to the Clippers in Los Angeles, 112-100 on Christmas Day.
After Bledsoe hit a 3-pointer to pull the Clippers to 65-58 with 1:54 left in the third quarter, the Nuggets scored eight of the next nine points, including JaVale McGee's first career 3-pointer at the buzzer to take a 75-59 lead into the fourth quarter. McGee, who had a dunk off an alley-oop pass from Andre Miller on Denver's previous possession, hadn't even tried a 3-pointer in a game all season until then. He blew on his shooting hand after making the trey as if he had to cool it off.
The Clippers cut it to 87-73 with 4:02 remaining when Griffin made one of two free throws but the Nuggets, as they did throughout the game, had an answer with Iguodala getting loose in the paint for a slam. The Clippers didn't threaten the rest of the way.
The Nuggets took a 12-point lead with 3:01 left in the second quarter when Faried buried a short hook shot before settling for a 48-43 halftime advantage.
Los Angeles closed the period with a 9-2 run, starting with Paul converting a three-point play followed by a dunk from DeAndre Jordon off a lob pass from Paul.
NOTES: Clippers PG Chauncey Billups, a former Nugget and native of Denver, missed the game as he continues to recover from a foot injury that has kept him on the sideline this season. ... The Clippers began a stretch of four games in five days that resumes Wednesday in Oakland against the Golden State Warriors. ... The Nuggets improved to 5-1 on New Year's Day. ... Miller had a double double for the 204th time in his career and the first time this season. ... The Clippers' 17-game streak was the second-longest ever snapped by the Nuggets. The Chicago Bulls were on an 18-game run when the Nuggets beat them on Feb. 4, 1996.

Sarcasm! Wow, That's ORIGINAL!
John (that's my husband, for you newbies) is an absolute master of sarcasm. This is not a good thing. Half the time even *I* can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not, which has led to more than one tiff around bathing suit season. ("Wow, your butt looks fantastic in that. No, really.")
I think the problem is he's too subtle. If you're going to be sarcastic, and you actually want people to know it, you have to give them some clue. You know, like this:
1) It's misspelled, thereby signifying "your" not worthy of spell check.
2) There is no exclamation point, since that might betray some small enthusiasm over the prospect of your presence. Can't have that, now, can we?
3) The gratuitous quotation marks positively reek of passive aggression. Visions of jilted dates and stranded little leaguers spring to mind.
All that, with only three little words! This baker is superb.
So, how can you, the consumer, incorporate a little sarcasm into your own cake orders? Here are a few handy tips:
1. Add quotation marks to everything you don't really mean.
3. Misspell their name. (Especially effective when combined with tip #1 or #2.)
Now this is what I like to call a "sarcasm score!" Present this at the after-game dinner and just watch all those mopey, dejected faces turn into bright red, angry ones in no time at all!
Mary Anne E., Angela M., Sarah C., & Janet R., you guys are absolutely "awesome."
