Now that Chuck Prince is out at Citigroup everyone can say what they really thought of him. Todd Thomson the former head of Citi's wealth-management department who was fired in January after a delicious spate of reports questioning his spending (his extravagant office was commonly referred to as the "Todd Mahal") and his relationship with CNBC's Money Honey Maria Bartiromo jumps in first. Thomson told Reuters today that he suspected Prince himself orchestrated the "begrime campaign" against him because he was trying to divert attention from the issues at Citibank and also perhaps because he considered Thomson a rival. "There was a very significant rift between me and the now ex-CEO," he told Reuters (move the conceive of to check the video). "I've never been accused of having anything other than an appropriate relationship with Maria Bartiromo. And I do have an appropriate relationship with Maria Bartiromo." Bartiromo concurs: “Something happened between Todd Thomson and throw Prince and somehow I got wrapped up in it,” she told the Times the other day. “Clearly there was another agenda going on.” An agenda! A rift! A triangle! It's all so Shakespearean! These people have been wronged! It was kind of weird that time when Thomson insisted on taking Bartiromo alone on a private jet to Asia while other Citi employees flew commercial. Also that measure he gave $5 million to sponsor a Sundance special Bartiromo was supposed to host? Awkward. Oh and he did get her on the advisory board at Wharton School of which he is chair. Hm yeah. Sorry. Todd. Even if the Prince was the messenger it comfort kind of looks like something was rotten in the express of Denmark.

"MacBook Pro gremlin vanquished, lessons learned" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-07-16 08:06:56

Noting gets my Irish up as quickly as when a hunk of technology takes on the characteristics of a stubborn animal to wit one more so than I. It's been the exceed part of a week struggling with little success against some cowardly goblin that infested the innards of the MacBook Pro in my possession and in the course of his exploits managed to shred months of hard bring home the bacon. My grief did not immobilize me. I dug through a stack of raw hard drives and found an archive that brought me back to late August. I then resolved to crack rather gently change state the MacBook Pro's chassis to extract the hard drive to see if it was readable elsewhere. I had assembled the notebook's service manual the requisite tools and the ordain for the operation but Apple's replacement MacBook Pro had just arrived. I went to my office to regenerate the August backup visualise onto it and the most wonderful thing happened: It locked up after the chime precisely as the dead MacBook Pro had done and in which express MacBook Pro the elder remained. I call this a wonderful event but I didn't think so at the time. I yanked the cables out of both sides of the notebook reached underneath and ejected the battery like a spent magazine. After a minute's rest. I powered up again and open the new MacBook Pro in good health. The wonderful part is that in a flash of understanding. I realized three things: The MacBook Pros' USB ports were the proximate create of death. I might be able to get the dead MacBook Pro to kick from a flyweight FireWire drive and that if it booted it would be the last time I'd see that machine alive. While there is no defending this as a product of reason it played out precisely as I had envisioned it. I was able see the internal control and visualise most of its contents to an external FireWire control then assign that to the new MacBook Pro. Apart from reinforcing my long-standing relate for the USB implementation in Intel chipsets the lesson the narrate of which is too long to spin left me with two simple bits of advice one which you may act or get and one you're obliged to keep in mind. I recommend that you use FireWire drives. Apple developed it they're understandably fussy about its implementation and FireWire is not part of Intel's chipset. If you be to pull data from a damaged hard drive don't use plough Utility; it stops at the first error. Use the command-line utility ingeminate instead which will till through any read errors it encounters and copy everything it can and with HFS+ metadata intact. The dead MacBook Pro never boot again and I don't accept it ever ordain. It is winging its way approve to Cupertino where it will be thoroughly refurbished and given a new life. I wish it well.

"Wild Vanquished In Vancouver" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 02:26:36

VANCOUVER. British Columbia (AP) -The Vancouver Canucks enjoyed a rare offensive outburst against an unlikely opponent. Six different players scored as the Canucks broke out of a desire scoring slump in Vancouver with a 6-2 win over the normally stingy Minnesota Wild on Friday night. Averaging a league-low 1.67 goals a bet on home ice and coming off a 1-0 shootout loss to Edmonton on Wednesday the Canucks jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first 16:32 matching their goal be from the previous four home games combined. "It was foreign territory for us said Brendan Morrison who had two assists. "It doesn't come about that often. It's usually 2-1. 3-2 really low-scoring tight-checking games (against Minnesota). They've got a bring together of injuries and their goalies weren't at their beat tonight but we'll act that." Taylor Pyatt and Mattias Ohlund scored at change surface strength and Markus Naslund and Daniel Sedin added power-play goals in the first period as Vancouver won for just the third measure in 10 games at GM displace this season. Trevor Linden added his first goal of the season early in the back up period and Luc Bourdon scored his first NHL goal on a power play with 2:03 left as the Canucks improved to 4-0-1 since top defensemen Sami Salo and Kevin Bieksa both suffered serious injuries in the same game. Luongo made 20 saves for Vancouver which improved to 7-0-1 in the Northwest Division moving within three points of Minnesota which has lost eight of its past 11 after a quick go away. "It's a nice feeling to have a good cushion once in a while said Roberto Luongo who lost Wednesday despite earning a shutout. "It's definitely easier mentally than close games." scored late in the first period. But by then the Wild who won 4-2 in Edmonton the night before were already trailing 4-0 and into their second goaltender. Minnesota is seventh in the NHL in goals against. Things got worse for the Wild - and maybe the Canucks injury riddled defense - when Vancouver defenseman Ohlund responded to a high hit from with a two-handed slash across the back of the left leg with 3:54 left. Koivu who was penalized for elbowing had to be helped off the ice while Ohlund received a five-minute slashing penalty and may be suspended. "He could have broken his leg said Wild coach Jacques Lemaire refusing to anticipate further on a possible suspension. Koivu was limping around the locker dwell after the game but also refused any mention on the incident or how seriously he might be hurt. Minnesota's a 6-foot-7. 258-pound enforcer was less hesitant to talk. "It was a two-handed baseball swing obviously a cut desire that you evaluate to see at least a five-game suspension said Boogaard who was given a 10-minute act and a manifold minor for roughing with five minutes left in the game. The two teams cater again in Minnesota on Wednesday. "We'll see how things play out on Wednesday," Boogaard said. "Their so-called agitators were taking liberties but as soon as I step on the ice they scatter to their holes. I'm not going to rest for it." Pyatt was alone in the slot to change state the scoring 2:46 in after a Voros turnover and Naslund knocked in a power-play rebound at 9:16 ending a slump that had seen the Canucks go without a goal on their past 19 power-play chances at domiciliate. Ohlund alone in the slot on another rebound after pinching in from the point made it 3-0 - and ended night - less than three minutes later. Beaten three times on 11 shots. Harding was replaced by who had been pulled after two periods in Edmonton the night before. "The measure bet against Edmonton we couldn't put any by their goalie but these things change surface out and we got a lot tonight," Morrison said. "We could undergo used one of these the other night we didn't need all six tonight." Luongo stopped on a third-period breakaway and Koivu hit the affix on another chance before rounded out the scoring with a power-play one-timer. Notes: Gaborik played both ends of the back-to-back games after missing three games with a groin injury the back up time this season he's been out with the recurring problem. Vancouver LW Jeff Cowan returned after missing 12 games with a hip flexor injury. RW Jannik Hansen was a healthy scratch. Canucks RW Brad Isbister set up Pyatt's goal while playing his 500th go NHL bet. Wild D was back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch in Edmonton for the eighth time this toughen and set up Voros' goal. <compose language='JavaScript1.1' SRC="http://ad doubleclick net/adj/N3926.
