Sue Cawdrey Public RelationsSue Cawdrey, Copyright Business Wire 2009. The Memphis Tigers have a lot of things going for them. They are undefeated, they've gone to the Sweet 16 two years in a row, they have the second-longest active home winning streak in the country, and above all that, they're #2 in the polls The problem? That's not enough.
You see, the Tigers made it to the Sweet 16 two years ago and the Elite 8 last year, but no further. Coach John Calipari wants more a championship. The question is, how? Why won't they come up short again? Well, there are a few factors in play this year that will help crown the Tigers champs. For one, after two years of success, the Tigers have their fans invested in the team. Every home game they double theattendance brought in by the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies. In addition, Memphis has a tougher schedule, which will better prepare them for the postseason. The strength of their opponents will result in closer victories, which will help them to pull through in close games down the road. Finally, the North Carolina Tar Heels, currently #1, are going to stay number #1 which is what the Tigers need. Last year the Tigers were #1 for a short stretch before the end of the year, and it spoiled them. This was a large factor in their loss to Ohio State in the Elite 8. This year the Tigers are older, stronger, faster, more experienced, and better prepared. This year Coach Calipari's wishes will be granted, and this year the tigers will be Champs.. * Monitoring Digital + dossier, no conditions met for a deal Media | France * Keeps 2009 financial goals(adds details) PARIS, April 30 (Reuters) – Vivendi (VIV.PA) is monitoringdevelopments involving Digital+, the pay-TV unit of Spanishmedia group Prisa (PRS.MC), but the right conditions forclinching a deal have not been met, its chief executive said.
Jean-Bernard Levy told the annual shareholders meeting onThursday that Europe’s largest entertainment group wouldcontinue to expand in emerging countries, saying there were”nice opportunities” in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. “Digital+ is a dossier we are monitoring but conditions formaking an investment according to our requirements have not beenmet. It could be an opportunity for Vivendi when the momentcomes,” he said. Levy did not say if there were still talks with Prisa, whichsaid in mid-January that it had not received any offers forDigital+ which met its requirements.Levy reiterated that Vivendi, which owns ActivisionBlizzard, the world’s top video games company, was quiteresilient to the global economic and financial crisis. The owner of the world’s biggest record company UniversalMusic Group and of French telecom operator SFR confirmed itexpected strong growth in adjusted operating profit in 2009 anda solid net adjusted income that would allow it to continuedistributing half of net income in dividend. With 70 percent of revenue coming from phone, Internet,pay-TV and online video games subscriptions, Vivendi is viewedas one of the most defensive stocks in the media sector, with alow exposure to a bleak advertising market. Vivendi, which owns 65 percent of Canal Plus France, wouldbuy the combined 15 percent stake that France’s TF1 (TFFP.PA)and M6 (MMTP.PA) still have in the French pay-TV group, if theydecide to exercise their put option next year, Levy said.
