The underwriters, led by Piper Jaffray and Jefferies & Company, will have the option to buy 787,500 more shares to cover over-allotments, according to an amended offering document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

"On the injunction, I'm going to deny it with the proviso that I may consider it at a later date," Judge Craig Schwall of Fulton County Court said at a hearing to discuss the injunction request. He said would give lawyers for shareholders who sought to block the exit pay about 60 days to gather information in the case.

"If I grant the injunction and it's wrong, Mr. Nardelli could be aggrieved," Schwall said. He said he could take action down the road against Nardelli if problems arose.

Nardelli left the home improvement retailer earlier this month by mutual agreement with the board. He was granted severance of $210 million.

SK, which controls nearly a third of South Korea's oil market, earned 1.42 trillion won (US$1.51 billion) in net profit in the year ended December 31, compared with 1.7 trillion won profit a year ago.

The profit was below a consensus forecast for a 1.55 trillion won profit from Reuters Estimates.

Weak simple refining margins tarnished brisk performances of the refiner's petrochemical division and overseas energy development division during the fourth quarter, analysts said.

Stagnated heating oil demand in the United States due to the mild winter also influenced the kerosene margin, they said.

TI, which makes chips for everything from calculators to the latest high-tech televisions, said its fourth-quarter profit was $668 million, or 45 cents a share, compared with $655 million, or 40 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter.

Revenue rose to $3.46 billion from $3.32 billion.

In December, TI cut its forecast for earnings per share from continuing operations to a range of 37 cents to 40 cents, and cut its revenue target to a range of $3.35 billion to $3.50 billion.

Its shares have fallen almost 16 percent in the last four months on investor concern that wireless industry growth is increasingly dependent on the sale of cheaper phones in emerging markets.

Sun said it will use Intel's Xeon chips to power some of its servers, the powerful networking computers that it sells to businesses and other institutions. Sun also uses AMD's Opteron server chips.

Sun plans to start using the Intel architecture in the first half of this year. Under the alliance, which includes joint engineering, design and marketing efforts, Sun will eventually deliver a series of Intel-based systems that support Solaris, Windows and Linux operating systems.

Stifel Nicolaus analyst Cody Acree said in a note to clients before the announcement that he expected the market to react to Intel's market share gain, even as he predicted that the financial impact to each chip supplier would be minimal.

"Up until recently, AMD was consistently gaining share in most all markets while Intel struggled. Now, AMD has missed the last two quarters, Intel appears to be steadily improving, and now Sun is giving Intel obvious market share," Acree said.

Shares of Sun were down 8 cents, or 1.39 percent, at $5.69, while shares of Intel were up 2 cents at $20.83 after the announcement.

Shares of Intel rival AMD were down 33 cents, or 1.9 percent, at $17.40 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The company said it would use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes.

the University of New Haven will sign a partnership with CEA - Cultural Experiences Abroad to provide transcripting and academic oversight of CEA's one-of-a-kind and growing GlobalCampus Network overseas, facilitating study abroad for students from universities across the nation.

"This is an extraordinary opportunity for the University of New Haven, its students and college students across the nation," says UNH President Steve Kaplan. "Through the partnership with CEA, the University of New Haven will become the top study abroad provider in the United States." Kaplan points out the partnership supports the experiential education initiative in the university's strategic plan, particularly the global education component.

Through the new agreement, the University of New Haven (http://www.newhaven.edu/) will gain greater international visibility, as well as new opportunities for faculty development, resources for continuing globalization, and revenues to support students' study abroad and other experiential activities. "While the University of New Haven currently provides other study abroad opportunities in-house or through direct arrangements with providers, this partnership with CEA is far more efficient and affordable, and accelerates our developments in this area," Kaplan says.

CEA - Cultural Experiences Abroad, an Arizona-based organization offering comprehensive study abroad programs and international education, is currently operational in Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Australia and Latin America, with expansion into Asia planned for this summer. Already affiliated with over 145 universities to place students in universities abroad, CEA (http://www.gowithcea.com/) also seeks to expand its GlobalCampus Network where local support services are offered and courses of study are provided for client students. "While such courses are worthy of college credit," says Kaplan, "the transfer of these credits to students' home institutions requires endorsement by a properly accredited school of record."

"The University of New Haven has a strong faculty, imaginative leadership, experience in developing a technology-rich environment and a major interest in international education," says CEA CEO Brian Boubek. "We envision a true partnership in which UNH maintains the control of all the academic processes and policies, which are at the heart of its mission."

As soon as this summer, college students from across the nation will be taking courses at GlobalCampus centers. The partners estimate that by fall 2009, more than 4,000 students a year will study abroad in Barcelona, Florence, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and the South of France through the GlobalCampus Network. Next steps include expanding traditional study abroad opportunities overseas to give international students the same opportunities to visit campuses in the U.S., facilitating a better understanding of this country's values and capacities.

The signing ceremony will take place on Monday, Jan. 15 at 9 a.m. at the University of New Haven, Maxcy Hall, 300 Boston Post Road, West Haven, CT.
