Liberty girls stay perfect in SWYL

BY ZACH EWING Californian staff writer zewing@bakersfield.com Thursday, Jan 17 2013 09:32 PM

The girls soccer schedule in Liberty's locker room has the upcoming games covered up with blue athletic tape, the kind you couldn't see through even if you press your nose up next to it.

That's why Patriots coach Boog Hearron refused to bite when asked how important his team's 1-0 home victory over Frontier was Thursday in a battle of Southwest Yosemite League unbeatens.

"It's just another game," he said as he ripped off another piece of tape to reveal Liberty's match with Stockdale on Tuesday. "We're not talking about winning league or winning Valley like some teams do. We keep things very simple."

Simple was enough for Liberty (11-2-1, 4-0 SWYL) against Frontier (15-5, 3-1). The Patriots scored the game's only goal eight minutes into the second half when Maci Feliz slipped a through ball between two Frontier defenders to a streaking Lexie Kinney, who slotted it past Frontier goalkeeper Madeline Grimes.

"I actually thought Maci should have shot that ball," Hearron said, "but Maci and Lexie are something else. They each have 11 goals and something like 9 assists, and all of the assists are to each other."

After that, neither team had many chances, with Liberty's midfield possession and solid back line styming Frontier, which hadn't lost since Dec. 11.

"We knew we were pretty even coming in," Titans coach Max Bluemel said. "It was two quality sides, and it boiled down to who made the first critical error. Unfortunately, that was us. Liberty kept putting the pressure on us, and we boiled down."

After the goal, Frontier managed a couple of strikes from outside the box but had no real scoring chances from close range.

"They're very strong in the midfield and defense and they play a very physical game," Titans coach Max Bluemel said. "They were a rock back there."

Liberty Global Raises Telenet Stake – Analyst Blog

Liberty Global Inc. ( LBTYA ), a leading cable MSO of Europe and Latin America, recently increased its stake in its Belgian subsidiary, Telenet to 58.4% from its existing 50.2% stake. Last September, Liberty Global decided to acquire the remaining 50% stake of Telenet for approximately $2.6 billion. In December 2013, the company launched a cash offer for Telenet's shares and securities through its subsidiary Binan Investments B.V.

Recently, Liberty Global declared that 9,497,637 ordinary shares and 3,000 warrants of Telenet were tendered under its cash offer. As a result, Liberty Global will get more voting rights in Telenet. Management stated that it is closely monitoring the organization, governance and reporting structure of Telenet and may opt for more integrated option.

Telenet is an integrated telecom company offering television, broadband and mobile phone services in the Dutch-speaking north Belgium. In the third quarter of 2012, Telenet generated $461 million of revenue for Liberty Global and it had 2.134 million subscribers. At present, Liberty Global is concentrating solely on Europe and some parts of Latin America. From early 2010, Liberty Global is gradually concentrating on strengthening its foothold in Europe through a series of mergers and acquisitions.

In the coming years, we believe Liberty Global's revenue will continue to benefit from a 'triple play' of video, broadband, and telephone, as it signs up more "bundled" customers in Europe and Latin America. Deployment of high-speed DOCSIS 3.0 network has facilitated the company to be at par with Virgin Media Inc. ( VMED ) and BT Group plc. ( BT ).

We maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Liberty Global. Currently, it enjoys a short-term Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Liberty pulls away late for win over Summit Christian

Ultimately, Liberty got what it wanted Thursday in the opening round of its own C.W. Stessman Invitational at Cokely Field House.

The Blue Jays survived 77-53 against a pesky Summit Christian squad.

With the win, Liberty, 11-2, advanced to the semifinals against Springfield Kickapoo, but it was far from easy.

The Jays, who are ranked 10th in The Stars big-class poll, actually trailed 35-34 more than a minute into the third quarter after a layup by Eagles junior Donovan Kim.

It was still a three-point game 47-44 late in the period after consecutive baskets by Summit Christian senior Henry Stratton, but Liberty would seize control with an 11-0 run.

Junior Brandon Moultrie splashed a 3-pointer to ignite the spurt, which also included consecutive three-point plays by senior Kwaku Duah.

We got some better shots in the second half, particularly in the third quarter, and hit some perimeter shots, which was key, Jays coach Roger Stirtz said.

At that point, Summit Christian, 10-5, which used a two-man bench the majority of the game, simply wore down and never again pulled closer than 10 points.

My guys always play hard tonight and played together, Eagles coach Jake Kates said. We gave them a little scare for three quarters before we ran out of steam, but Im proud of them.

The Jays threatened to pull away in the first half when senior Eric Greelys dunk energized the crowd and sparked a tie-breaking 6-0 run, but Eagles senior Taurin Hughes, who scored a game-high 20, staunched the bleeding.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - Liberty University has entered into a partnership with a Christian studio to produce and distribute faith-based films.

Last year Liberty debuted a two-year film school. Now the Cinematic Arts Center program is joining Dallas-based EchoLight Studios in a five-year agreement for five full-length feature films.

In announcing the agreement Tuesday, Liberty says EchoLight will oversee the films' financing, production and worldwide distribution.

Cinematic Arts Center executive director Stephan Schultze says the agreement will bring the film school to "an amazing new level."

The university predicts the film school's enrollment will reach 200 by 2015.

Liberty Media Spins-off Starz – Analyst Blog

Liberty Media Corp. (LMCA) has completed the spin-off of its Starz Entertainment segment as a separate entity. According to management, the spin-off of Starz will unlock the latter's value by optimizing its capital structure and enabling Starz to find several alternative ways and partnerships for both content creation and distribution. At the end of the third quarter, total subscribers base of Starz increased 9% to 20.8 million while its sister TV channel Encore had 34.3 million subscribers, up 5% year over year. Together, these two channels command 55.1 million subscribers. Starz is currently trading at NASDAQ as Starz Inc. (STRZA). The company is famous for its premium movie channels and competes primarily with HBO of Time Warner Inc. (TWX) and Showtime of CBS Corp. (CBS). At present, HBO has about 39.5 million subscribers whereas Showtime has nearly 21.3 million subscribers.

Last October, Starz launched its two TV Everywhere services with Cox Communications Inc. The two online authenticated services are known as STARZ PLAY and ENCORE PLAY. Later, the company also launched its third streaming services called MOVIEPLEX PLAY with Cox. All these three services collectively offer 1,500 premium movies and TV programs every month.

Starz currently has about $1.1 billion of debt and access to a $450 million bank credit facility. Liberty Media earlier stated that the spin-off is envisioned to provide a cash dividend of $1.8 billion to the company. We believe that the spin-off of Starz will help Liberty Media to increase its stake in Barnes & Noble Inc. (BKS) and Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (LYV), together with SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. (SIRI). Liberty Media recently got regulatory approval to control more than 50% stake of SIRIUS XM.

Liberty Announces Semi-Annual Payment on 3.5% Senior Exchangeable Debentures Due 2031 – Results in Further Reduction …

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Liberty Interactive LLC ("Liberty"), a subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB, LVNTA, LVNTB), announced a semi-annual payment to the holders of its 3.5% Senior Exchangeable Debentures due in 2031 (the "Debentures"). The amount of the payment is $17.50 per $1,000 of original principal amount of the Debentures.

Under the Indenture for the Debentures, the principal amount of the Debentures is adjusted in an amount equal to each extraordinary distribution made to holders of the Debentures. Thereafter, the adjusted principal amount is further reduced on each successive semi-annual interest payment date to the extent necessary to cause the semi-annual interest payment to represent the payment of an annualized yield of 3.5% of the adjusted principal amount. This latter adjustment, to the extent it is made by reason of a particular extraordinary distribution that results in an adjustment to the principal amount of the Debentures, takes effect on the second succeeding interest payment date after the payment of that extraordinary distribution.

To date, there have been two extraordinary distributions to holders of the Debentures. On January 10, 2007, Liberty made an extraordinary distribution of $162.6160 per $1,000 original principal amount of Debenture arising from Freescale Semiconductors going private transaction. On June 20, 2012, Liberty made an extraordinary distribution of $184.0960 per $1,000 original principal amount of Debenture arising from Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc (MMI) acquisition by Google.

The adjustments described above will not affect the amount of the semi- annual payments received by holders of the debentures, which will continue to be a rate equal to 3.5% per annum of the original principal amount of the Debentures. Below is a detail of the amount of the payment being made on the Debentures, its allocation between payment of interest and repayment of principal and the revised adjusted principal amount resulting from the payment, per $1,000 of original principal amount of the Debentures:

January 15, 2013 Beginning

Adjusted Principal

Additional Payment of Principal

January 15, 2013 Ending Adjusted Principal

The semi-annual interest payment and additional distribution are expected to be made on January 14, 2013 to holders of record of the Debentures on January 1, 2013.

Liberty Tire Recycling Earns GREENGUARD Synthetic Turf Certification for Infill Produced by All Eight Plants Across …

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Liberty Tire Recycling, the premier provider of tire recycling services in North America, is the first and only company to achieve GREENGUARD Synthetic Turf Certification from the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute, an independent organization that strives to improve public health and quality of life through programs that reduce chemical exposure and improve indoor air quality. All products certified by GREENGUARD are rigorously tested to ensure they meet a series of strict chemical emissions standards based on established criteria from key public health agencies.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091210/NE24642LOGO)

"As a market leader, we're acutely aware of our responsibility to invest time and resources to continuing the evolution of scrap tire recycling," said Jeffrey Kendall, CEO of Liberty Tire Recycling. "Our focus is long-term and if you look back over the last 20 years, the improvements in equipment, systems, processes and end products are impressive. At the same time, with our investments in research and development and support of tire retailers and end users, we're only at the beginning of what can be accomplished."

Synthetic turf infill manufactured at the following Liberty Tire Recycling production plants already holds GREENGUARD Synthetic Turf Certification: Calhoun, Georgia; Braddock, Pennsylvania; Salt Lake City, Utah; Des Moines, Iowa; Port St. Lucie, Florida; and Brunner, Ontario, Canada. Now all of the company's crumb rubber plants are certified, including Western Rubber, British Columbia, Canada; and Lockport, New York.

Liberty Tire Recycling provides crumb rubber to synthetic turf manufacturers and installers nationwide for material that is likened to the "dirt" of a natural grass system. Recycled rubber is an integral part of synthetic turf systems at all levels and is one of the leading uses of recycled car and truck tires. A synthetic turf football field uses 250,000 pounds of recycled rubber made from 20,000 scrap tires. The crumb rubber is used to provide a stable, yet cushioned surface for both high-performance athletic use and safe play for children. The dust-free granules provide an infill that maximizes traction, drainage and shock absorption.

GREENGUARD Synthetic Turf Certification ensures that synthetic turf components meet stringent requirements for chemical emissions, lead content and heavy metal migration that are certified by independent laboratories. The certification is based, in part, on the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, European toy safety standard criteria for heavy metals, and the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment's Chronic Reference Exposure Levels for volatile organic compounds.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Liberty Interactive LLC (Liberty), a subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation (NASDAQ: LINTA/LINTB and LVNTA/LVNTB ) announced a cash distribution to the holders of its 3.125% Senior Exchangeable Debentures due in 2023 (the Debentures). This distribution is the result of AOL, Inc.s special dividend of $5.15 per share paid on December 14, 2012.

Each Debenture is exchangeable into a basket of securities consisting of 19.1360 common shares of Time Warner Entertainment (TWX), 4.8033 common shares of Time Warner Cable (TWC) and 1.7396 common shares of AOL, Inc. (AOL).

Pursuant to the indenture governing the Debentures, this distribution is considered an extraordinary distribution of cash. As a result, each Debenture holder will be entitled to receive a cash payment of $8.9589 per bond. The distribution is expected to be made on January 15, 2013 to holders of record on December 31, 2012.

Also pursuant to the indenture, on any date that we pay or make an additional distribution to the holders of the debentures that is attributable to an extraordinary distribution on the reference shares, the original principal amount of each debenture will be reduced by the amount of the additional distribution that is paid or made with respect to that debenture. Thereafter, the adjusted principal amount will be further reduced on each successive semi-annual interest payment date to the extent necessary to cause the semi-annual interest payment on that date to represent the payment by Liberty, in arrears, of an annualized yield of 3.125% of the adjusted principal amount of the debentures. An adjustment for purposes of ensuring that Liberty does not pay an annualized yield of more than 3.125% of the adjusted principal amount of the debentures that is necessary by the payment of an additional distribution to holders of the debentures will take effect on the second succeeding interest payment date after the payment of that distribution. We will issue a press release each time an adjustment is made to the adjusted principal amount of the debentures.

Beginning Adjusted Principal per Bond

Extraordinary Distribution

Ending Adjusted Principal per Bond

The adjustments described above will not affect the amount of the semi-annual payments received by holders of the debentures, which will continue to be a rate of interest equal to 3.125% per annum of the original principal amount of the debentures.

Liberty Wins First Conference Game

From Liberty athletics:

LYNCHBURG, Va. The Liberty men's basketball team avoided starting Big South Conference play 0-3 for the second straight season, defeating Coastal Carolina, Saturday night, 64-56. The Flames win inside the Vines Centers marks its second straight victory against the Chanticleers.

Liberty improves to 5-12 on the year and 1-2 in Big South action. The Chanticleers fall to 7-7 overall and 2-1 in conference play. The Flames now lead the all-time series 27-23.

Tomasz Gielo finished with a career-high night in points for the second straight game, pacing the Flames with 19 tallies. John Caleb Sanders chipped in 13 points, followed by Tavares Speaks who had 11. Joel Vander Pol led Liberty in rebounds with eight, while adding seven points.

Kierre Greenwood led the Chanticleers with 27 points, finishing the contest as Coastal Carolina's only double-digit scorer. The Liberty defense held Coastal Carolina leading scorer Anthony Raffa to eight points after the senior went scoreless in the first half.

Liberty concluded the night with its third highest field goal percentage of the season, shooting 47.6 percent (20-of-42) from the field. Defensively, the Flames held Coastal Carolina to 29.2 percent shooting (19-of-65), marking the first time a Liberty opponent has finished under 30.0 percent from the field since Campbell shot 29.0 percent (18-of-62) in the Flames' 49-41 regular-season finale win on Feb. 25, 2012.

Liberty also held the Chanticleers to 10.0 percent (2-of-20) from three-point range, while shooting 46.7 percent (7-of-15) from long distance.

The Chanticleers responded with another 6-0 burst to knot the contest, 14-14, at 8:41.
