TSMC said to rebuff Apple, Qualcomm
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Apple and Qualcomm have each offered more than a $1 billion to foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to obtain a dedicated supply of processor chips, and both their offers have been rejected, according to a Bloomberg report.
Apple needs the chips for its own smartphomes and tablet computers – iPhones and iPads – while Qualcomm is the leading supplier of application processors to the rival Android platform of mobile equipment. Both the Apple and Qualcomm proposals included investments in TSMC (Hsinchu, Taiwan), Bloomberg said quoting unnamed sources.
At present Apple relies on Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. for its leading edge A5 processor but Apple is in a high profile legal dispute with Samsung over the look and feel of smartphones. Apple has been reported to be working with TSMC (Hsinchu, Taiwan) to bring up a 28-nm A6 processor. Meanwhile Qualcomm, which has designed the Snapdragon processor, is known to be suffering from a shortage of supply at the 28-nm node.
There has been speculation that companies such as Apple and Qualcomm would try to use their financial muscle to obtain a secure supply of leading-edge chips which at present is limiting sales of mobile equipment.
In July Morris Chang, chairman and CEO of TSMC, said the company was considering operating single-customer wafer fabs so a rejection of the Apple and Qualcomm investment proposals may have resulted from detailed terms or the fact that equity was being sought.
However, as a foundry supplier TSMC profits from serving many fab-lite and fabless chip companies, including Broadcom, Nvidia, MediaTek and many others. If it was seen to be too close to Qualcomm or Apple it might risk its independent status and drive other customers into the arms of rival foundry suppliers.
In addition Lora Ho, chief financial officer of TSMC, has expressed reservations about operating single-customer wafer fabs. "You have to be careful. Once that product migrates, what are going to do with that dedicated fab? We would like to keep the flexibility," the Bloomberg report quoted Ho as saying.

On Qualcomm's manufacturing options
It would be strange twist of fate, maybe instead of paying apple 1 billion Samsung will be asked to invest 1billion into apple dedicated fab. not like apple needs extra billion cash as world most rich company. But I guess apple will ask to glofo before then
Well what's a billion dollars or two between friends?
It is strange that Morris Chang should let slip that dedicated company fabs or lines might be appropriate but then turns down such offers.
TSMC has worked hard to become a leading supplier of high-performance silicon and was prepared to invest many billions of dollars when others were not. It would be quite natural that now it has the industry over a barrel it wants "full meausure" for its manufacturing services.
+1 for Morris Chang. He must have a wry smile on his face when turning down Apple proferring its corporate begging bowl. The tortoise gets his day in the sun :)
Qualcomm and Apple would come in demanding a dedicated fab, negotiated operating margins and capacity then when the fab is no longer bleeding-edge, want another fab leaving TSMC holding the bag on deprecation. Qualcomm has done this in subcon test and packaging for years. Why should TSMC give up control over how to run capacity and invest $$. Apple and Qualcomm should build there own fabs and license processes. A large bleeding edge fab cost 10 billion. fab 15 is a $10 billion project. more large fab in planning (power chip land purchase) $1 billion is a joke.
I agree with you Bob.
This is a win-lose deal. No one with business-savvy mind will accept such an offer. This kind of deals only give the fraction of ROI Morris is looking for.
Mr Chang is sitting pretty knowing that he's holding the aces here. Those guys will come back with better deals, given time.
this is just the first round of negotiations. if apple and qcom capitalize fabs and license processes and pay tsmc to manage fabs, maybe. tsmc needs to extract a lot more $$ for their goodies. why risk deprecation on dedicated fabs. that's just crazy talk.
It seems obvious that Apple should setup their own Fab in order to solve long term dependencies. The easiest way is for Apple would be to join Common Platform and to invest $6B-$B into the Manufacturing Facilities.
I see how Apple can go down the drain quickly with Common Platform. There is no longer a common platform - who's common?
Well, Apple is obviously already designed-in to the "common platform", yet it seems that only Samsung is able to actually yield the part.
I think it's definitely cheaper for Apple to either "foundry" the part or form a partnership, but who in their right mind would partner with Apple?
Well Platform still have Samsung, Global Foundries,IBM, Toshiba, ST, Malta FAb can supply Apple, 28nm tech has same base as Samsung, developed at IBM JDA
That's not true HS_SemiPro. Samsung no longer offers initial 28 Common platform process. They have migrated/evolved while others are still staying behind.
Why Apple need TSMC, which is already overbooked to capacity. With the kind of cash Apple has and the kind of business model Apple follow, it can put its money in other fab companies and reap the benefits for years to come.
Obviously money is not king here or Apple and Qualcomm wouldn't come a-knocking. They've been caught short and think they can just buy their way out. They'll need to think again.
Luis Sanchez
Does this means there aren't enough fabs in the world now? Perhaps talking about 28nm there aren't.
Who will open the next one and seize this business opportunity?
We're seeing moves which aren't the everyday buy and sell thing. Patents litigation and now offerings for guaranteed production? What does all this mean? Seems we're in a mobility boom!
It's not that there are not enough fabs or money. It's technology know-hows and yielding. 28/20nm and advanced technologies are getting harder and harder to get yield up to achieve the level of economics and only TSMC, Intel and Samsung are able to demonstrate that right moment.
While TSMC was right in rejecting the offer I still feel they could have negotiated an alternate way to resolve this shortage. TSMC is reducing its silicon forecast one hand and turning the other side when the customers come asking. Or is it that their 28nm node is still not up to the mark. The smaller foundries are still long way behind as compared to TSMC and cannot offer the same economies of scale, perhaps big A should checkout the IBM shoppe.
Its clear from reading the article that Apple and Qualcomm aren't coming to TSMC as customers. Customers would form an orderly queue and wait in line like everybody else does.
Is GloFo not yet a credible alternative to TSMC at 28 nm ? Had heard something about QCOM exploring contracts with GloFo. How about Apple too ?
QCOM has contracts with TSMC, UMC and Samsung already and now they are exploring contracts with GloFo and SMIC? Why now?? Why not earlier?? Maybe Apple will follow suit - Samsung, TSMC first then UMC then GloFo then SMIC....
Apple will have to go to intel again for their silicon and all it will cost them is ditching ARM for Atom...
forecast or idea for another rumor mill? Maybe business opportunity for Intel to cage a star customer.
Lucent Chang
I assume 2 reasons that TSMC reject APPLE & QCOM
1. In 1996, UMC co-build 5 8inch fab with 5 different customers, but merged back in 2000 due to these fab utilization were slow down.
2. If TSMC agrees, how TSMC rejects other design house and IDM as a pure play foundry?
My ides is maybe TSMC should follow ASML's strategy to let Apple and QCOM become as stockholders for their first priority wafers foundry.
I feel we are all missing a key point here.....As far as we know....Apple and Qualcomm came to TSMC offering to INVEST in TSMC in return for special access to leading-edge capacity.
The key word is invest....in other words Apple and Qualcomm wanted a minority stake in TSMC which they could of course sell at a later date.......as a sort of surety.
I suspect Morris Chang just said: "No you dont get a piece of the company. Just give us your money and we'll let you know when your chips are ready."
TSMC is one of biggest and most recognized company in Taiwan. It's more than just business and economy. It's national pride. The Taiwan government will not allow TSMC's business decision is influenced by foreign company.
Robotics Developer
Stanley_, you make a lot of sense! I wonder why TSMC would need the money offered by Apple/Qualcomm when they can just sell them chips. TSMC is in the drivers set here and they get to steer their own course, everyone else is going to have to get onboard for the ride..
Looks like a good opportunity for Global foundry here, if they have the goods, now is the time to show.
As Jerry Sanders famously said: "Real men own fabs". Perhaps Qualcomm is regretting not building its own manufacturing line in the US.
It's time to Apple to build its own Fab or get closer to Intel. Skills are still there and there is enough money at the bank.

Rensselaer County budget passes, includes 1.25 percent tax increase
TROY — With a vote of 13 to 4, the Rensselaer County budget of more than $319 million was approved Monday night with a tax increase of 1.25 percent.
An average property taxpayer with a $100,000 home will pay about $17.44 more with the adopted budget. This is a savings of $6.49 on the average annual tax bill from the initial figures in the executive budget submitted in October.
The changes in the budget from the executive figures included reducing legislative spending and revisions with the use of $129,000 from the Tax Stability Fund, established in recent years with reductions in spending in legislative offices. The county jail is also expecting to generate about $5 million from the boarding-in of inmates, as opposed to past years when the county paid neighboring counties to board inmates, officials said.
The county is estimating a $240,333 increase in sales tax from the original figures in the executive budget. County Executive Kathy Jimino's budget from about two months ago expected to see an increase in sales tax and motel/hotel revenue from $390,000 to $425,000. That figure has now been augmented due, in part, to the improved fiscal position of the county from announcements like Regeneron Pharmaceuticals expanding their site and creating 300 new jobs.
Prior to the vote Monday, District Attorney Rich McNally spoke with the assembled legislators to ask that $15,000 not be cut from the budget so Assistant District Attorneys could get raises. "We're not spending a lot of money. I am a frugal administrator. This would help the salaries be a little less lousy," he said of the ADAs, who handle serious cases with long hours on minimal salaries that start out at around $45,000.
Legislative Chairman Martin Reid pointed out that there are many hardworking county employees. The county decided that raises across the board would be 1 percent and no changes were made regarding the DA's office.
The 13-4 decision was split down the political lines, with the Republican majority all voting in favor.
Minority Leader Peter Grimm said that he agreed that a lot of hard work went into the budget and it was a good attempt, but he and the other Democrats felt the budget could have included some of the fund balance so there would be no tax increase.
County officials said none of the multimillion dollar fund balance was used in the budget. Reid added that it is 4 percent of the budget and would be used for emergencies, like possible hurricane damage.
"We wanted to go with a zero percent increase last year and again this year but we have to be responsible with this money," said Majority Leader Ken Herrington. Republicans listed ongoing county expenditures like the ballot fraud case and Hudson River assessment which also could require the rainy day funds. Continued...
Meanwhile, the county is planning on eliminating eight positions, including five vacant jobs and three layoffs. Another three positions will be downgraded.
"Due to the continued growth in the mandated costs the state places on us we are forced to turn once again to our property taxpayers to foot the bill for those costs that are expected to grow another $2.9 million in 2013," said Jimino. "In spite of those pressures placed on us by our State Government this collaborative effort to develop a budget that protects taxpayers and vital local services is a budget I feel we can be proud of."
The budget, in terms of mandates, includes: $34.5 million for Medicaid; $5.8 million for Safety Net; $14.3 million for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; $40 million for the County Nursing Home; $17 million for Early Intervention and Special Needs; $2.1 million for Indigent Legal Services; and $16.5 million in pension costs.
Rensselaer County has been under the state tax cap each of the past two years the state tax cap has been in effect.

The reading my David Sedaris himself gave an extra oomph to an already very entertainining and thought-provoking set of essays.
I liked the mixture of the absolutely hilarious stories with the more serious ones.
"great history, highly recommended in audio"
This is another terrific history book from Lynne Olson. Even though I knew the general outlines of the period, 1936 to 1941, I certainly did not know all of the players, all of the factions, machinations, FDR's political jockeying and poll-watching, Lindbergh and his long suffering wife (and mother in law). Olson makes great use of all kinds of evidence, speeches, letters, newspapers, newsreels, movies and diplomatic dispatches to knit together the time in such a way that you feel as if you were there. The narrator is also very good.
"a great American novel"
The book is told by several protagonists and each has its own narrator.
It is a combination of a cultural novel, a human interest story, and a mystery story.
No particular favorite. The book is written so beautifully that you can identify with each protagonist.
I would have, but it was too long. But I did feel compelled to listen to it over and over to get to the end.
"terrific, slice of history book"
The audio edition is very entertaining & moves well. Excellent narrator. This is not the kind of book that has to be read in the traditional way, no crying need for referring to maps or photographs to follow along.
The author focuses on several women who were trying the be the first to swim the channel that summer, not just Gertrude Ederle, who was the one who did it first.
"a scattering of interesting facts"
This is a very interesting story, but could have been dispatched in a long magazine article (e.g., New Yorker or Atlantic) rather than in a full-fledged book. If you are willing to tolerate wading through all these interesting facts, then the book could be to your liking. If you are, like me, sometimes impatient with extraneous material with little to do with the plot line, you may find it hard going.
The narrator was very good.
"Brideshead Revisited, classic 20th century novel"
Yes, Evelyn Waugh is a poetic writer. Every sentence carefully crafted. A good book to read and a good one to listen to. I listened on my Kindle, while reading the book. Not simultaneously, but flipping back & forth. You get to see the elite life of Brits in the first half of the 20th century, and terrific character development too (especially the men).
"entire Burlingame series is not to be missed"
This is one of the best long-play history/biography/nonfiction audiobooks I've listened to.
Robert Caro's multiple volumes on LBJ.
This Lincoln is not to be missed. The first half (first book volume) released early last year. And the second half (second book volume) this year. The author succeeds in bringing you into the time, if not day-by-day, close to that feeling. As if you are living it vicariously.
"A great way to take in a tough book to read"
One of the top fiction works I've listened-to on Audible over the years.
Melville & Muller bring you through the exciting parts of the plot, and the intermingled encyclopedic parts about sailing, whaling & whales, without a hitch. When reading the book it is just far too easy to skip the encyclopedic parts even though the are a necessary part of the narrative fabric.
Very well read. Did not dip into artificial accents to depict the different characters. Something I have found annoying in other books.
This had already been a film, more than one. But no film could possibly do justice to this powerful & lengthy story.
"great book, worth a listen"
Yes, it is a fascinating and convincing interpretation of evolution using contemporary, historical and archeological evidence.
I would have liked to, but it is too long for a one-sitting work. I was driven to get through by the power of the arguments and of the prose.
"another unique perspective on the Civil War"
I would listen again. Goodheart does a terrific job showing what people actually thought & felt, mostly in the north, as developments built toward a Civil War most did not want or anticipate, and none felt would turn out as a 4 year bloodbath.
Usually we think about history, without much intellectual effort, as if the participants knew what was going to happen in their tomorrow, in their next year. And of course that is not the way things happen. Goodheart's strength is showing that.

clete, did your mother have any children or was your brother an onlychild?
I claim VICTORY over Angry Erik! I have outwitted, outlasted, and outed Erik; He has been voted off theisland!!! CLETUS is KING
As funny as it seems, I originally used this site to send a letter toContinental Airlines, I still have their e-mail response with a ticketnumber, but nothing more. Then I made my big mistake... I sent aletter to Target inquiring about the Salvation Army... Game On! I applaud the administrators for their support of my post and I thankthem for the outstanding site they maintain. I only wish everyone tooksuch a balanced view of my writings instead of reading them throughvenomous filters. I think it is a fair assessment that my letters made a difference andI made A LOT of valuable inputs to the letters of others, but acertain group of "haters" provoked me at just about every turn. Takethe time to read and you will see that most of my writings are inresponse to a vicious attack or un-called for name calling. I surelydidn't start the rants, but I had no problem joining the festivities.Funny thing, someone starts a thread, then gets mad when I don't rollover and accept their comments. Not Gonna Happen! I have one more letter to write, a NASCAR letter to Bass Pro, and thenI have better things to do. Actually my job is taking me away for afew months and I will have limited access to the net, but don'tdespair my friends, I will be back to ring in the New Year. Can't wait til' February, the start of the new NASCAR season, I amalready working on my protest letter to whatever company sponsorsMichael Waltrip!! Clete
It begins with a simple letter to Target asking a question about theSalvation Army, a letter which generated 122 responses, mostlynegative. Had I known what I know now, I would have just written aletter and dropped it in the mail. This site provides a good service and an easy way to contactcompanies, but it has probably migrated into a statistic gatheringdevice instead of the "voice it was intended to be. I admit I got wrapped up in the game as well; I couldn't wait to"hammer" a letter writer or comment on a post. My level ofone-upmanship grew to an embarrassing level. I started writing letters with good content, but crafted them in sucha way that they were sure to cause controversy, and it worked for awhile. Not only was it fun, but it was a bit therapeutic. Suddenly, I am banished and no one wants to post to my letters, thisonly gives me cause to post to other letters, and I post some doozies.Think of it as, when a door is closed, a window is usually opened orwater always flows to the area of least resistance. I have been referred to as a slack jaw, a yokel, a bumpkin, an idiot,an a-hole, etc.... Most of this was directed at the name I created,but a lot was probably personal attacks. I am amazed at the level ofhatred generated by simple letters. I have one suggestion. When a OP is creating a letter, he/she shouldbe queried about their interaction with the manager. I can't start tocount the number of responses that begin with "did you speak to amanager?" I find that I am spending way to much time on this site; I am notleaving, but I am no longer going to fill this site with my writings,it just isn't worth it any longer. I do wish you all well and urge you to examine your personal post overthe past month or so and ask yourself "am I being helpful orspiteful?" For the record, I posted on 57% complaints, 35% compliments, and 8%questions; 23 letters with only 2 responses. One from Domino's and onefrom Target; I recommend you patronize these stores. For all of you that think I am an uneducated hick; I have a collegedegree, as does my wife, I have made life/death decisions throughoutmy career, in 2005 & 2006 I made 36 platelet donations to a blooddonation center, look up platelet donation on google to see what ahuge commitment this was. I honestly feel as though my platelets savedlives. I don't let my kids kill anything they aren't prepared to eat,I believe every living creature has a right to live until it is readyto enter the food chain. Yes, I catch bugs in my house, but I alwaystake them outside and let them go. I have one more letter to write, then I am going to make cameoappearances, not the daily barrage I am known for. Clete

I wrote a letter to Domino's Pizza and a lot of the "regulars" hereimmediately attacked, but I get results!! Cleatus - Thank you for contacting Domino's Pizza... Wanted to make you aware that we have announced we will be departingMichael Waltrip Racing effective following the 2007 season. I have included our press release for your reference. As of now, we have yet to decide on any team partnership for NASCAR in2008 -- although we will remain the OFFICIAL PIZZA OF NASCAR allseason..! Thanks again for contacting Domino's. Hopefully this helps answeryour question. cb Domino's Pizza and Michael Waltrip Racing to Part Ways After 2007 Domino's Remains "Official Pizza of NASCAR®" Through 2008 Season ANN ARBOR, MI, Sept. 13, 2007-Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ) and MichaelWaltrip Racing have announced their intentions to part ways after the2007 season following Domino's first season as primary sponsor of the#00 Toyota entry in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series. The #00 team has been under the ownership of first-year team ownerMichael Waltrip, and led by rookie driver David Reutimann whocurrently sits 40th in NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series points. Domino's Pizzawill continue its sponsorship as the "Official Pizza of NASCAR"through the 2008 season. "We are thankful for the efforts of the entire MWR team, andappreciative of our 5 year relationship with Michael Waltrip," saidDavid Brandon, Domino's Pizza Chairman and CEO. "He has been a greatbrand ambassador and partner, and has been instrumental in connectingDomino's with NASCAR fans. We wish him and the entire MWR team well asthey continue to work towards success in this highly competitivesport." Reutimann qualified for nine of 12 races with Domino's as primarysponsor, with the team failing to qualify for the NNCS races at LasVegas and Bristol last March. After a strong practice session at TexasMotor Speedway last April, the weekend qualifying session was rainedout, forcing the field to line up based on points - and sending the#00 team home for the weekend. However, Reutimann generallyoutperformed other Toyota drivers, and showed promising ability withsome strong runs - including a 13th place finish at Richmond earlierthis month.

Ramay Raises Pennies for Good
By: Amanda Ashley
Updated: January 9, 2013
The Ramay Junior High Foreign Language Club has wrapped up their annual penny drive and the money collected was no chump change.
Homeroom classes competed between Thanksgiving and the holiday break to raise the cash.
Over the last twenty-one years, the Fayetteville school says students have donated over $40,000 to charities, including the Salvation Army and the Northwest Arkansas Rape Crisis Center.
This year's donations will allow them to give $2,800 for Peace at Home Family Shelter, $500 to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, and $400 for groceries and other necessities for Ramay students in need and their families.

How to utterly dominate the competition and influence possibly the biggest payday in the history of MLB pitchers: The Cliff Lee story
So how on earth did he do it? We know Lee has possibly the most pinpoint control and command in the Majors, but last night he appeared to be superhuman, even by his lofty standards.
Here's a table of data from the wonderful Brooks Baseball breaking down what Lee threw last night:
As you can see, Lee went to his Cutter most often, got five swinging strikes with it and was able to locate it with pinpoint accuracy, as is his wont. His two-seamer was stellar, and was the strongest pitch of his outing. His four-seamer was also excellent, with an Average Horizontal Break of 5.29 to go with an Average Vertical Break of 11.28 and going for a strike 77.8% of the time. All told Lee generated 14 swinging strikes, which is outrageous, and only saw four balls leave the infield. Lee's changeup was arguably his least successful pitch last night, but it doesn't matter when you have four other pitches to go to and can place them anywhere you want in any count.
To wit, also courtesy of Brooks:
That strike zone plot is a work of art. By my count, seven of Lee's 14 swinging strikes were out of the zone. He only threw one pitch right down the middle. He also didn't appear to be the beneficiary of a single generous call -- somehow every single one of his called strikes was actually in the zone. How often does that happen?
I was going to berate the Yankees for their complete inability to get a read on and adjust for Lee, but after reviewing the numbers and the zone plot, I'm not sure any team could've done anything with what Lee had to offer last night. In addition to too many swings at pitches out of the strike zone, it looked nearly every swing the Yankees took was defensive, and were only swinging just because it was Cliff Lee and they figured the ball would be somewhere in the strike zone. While the latter statement was true a majority of the time, guess-hitting is not a good plan of attack, and Lee was able to thoroughly exploit the Yankees' cluelessness.
After spinning yet another masterpiece against the Yankees -- who already covet him something fierce to begin with -- I can't fathom how many more millions of dollars it's going to take to sign this man in the offseason. During the season it seemed like many had been expecting Lee to command somewhere in the vicinity of $20 million per over five years, though now it seems likely that it's going to require a bit more than that to get him. Using CC Sabathia's 7-year, $161 million deal as a benchmark, I have to imagine Lee is going to command something closer to that amount. I know Sabathia was 28 at the time and Lee is 32, but Lee is better than CC Sabathia, and aside from the occasional abdominal or back issue, seems to have few health issues that would preclude him from being this good for a long time.
With apologies to Roy Halladay, Lee has a pretty strong case for best pitcher in baseball during the last three years. The following chart is courtesy of Fangraphs.
Though Halladay has very slightly out-fWARed Lee during that time period, 21.4 to 20.8, Lee's average FIP from 2008-2010 is 2.84 to Roy's 3.03. Their numbers are eerily similar for the most part during this three-year period, except Lee gives up even less walks and home runs. And though this accounts for a much smaller sample, Lee's also been beyond brilliant in seven postseason starts compared to the Doctor's two career playoff starts.
Per Fangraphs, Lee's been worth an average of $30 million a year during the last three years. 7.0 WAR, dominating pitchers with five pitches that can be thrown at any time, anywhere they want in any count they want don't just grow on trees, and the Yankees are going to have to do whatever it takes to get Lee this winter. I don't care if it's five or even six years at $30 million per, Lee's pretty clearly a once-in-a-generational talent, and pairing him up with CC Sabathia next season is going to be critical in an AL East absolutely loaded with pitching talent.

Why would he go to the inferior Yankees when he can re-up with the Rangers?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 23, 2010 at 12:41 PM
What a stupid comment!! Of course, Lee is going to the Yankees. He hates pitching in the heat in Texas and will the Yankees be inferior if they get Lee? I DON'T THINK SO.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 23, 2010 at 12:53 PM
ReplyDelete Certainly a lot of vitriol anonymous gentlemen. The Rangers played great. The Yanks will be back next season and we all know they'll be competitive. As for Lee, his priority was/is getting paid. I'm sure where ever he elects to go will give him a chance at postseason success. Who knows - perhaps he'll get the elusive ring in a week.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousOctober 25, 2010 at 12:00 AM
Eff NY. Lee will be taking his talents to whoever is most suited to win the World Series.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 25, 2010 at 12:07 AM
Yeah, Dusty... You fail to understand ... YOU are a FAIL, BTW ...
ReplyDelete - Patrick DerricoOctober 28, 2010 at 8:44 PM
you are a fail? is that even english? Lee will most likely go to the yankees as they buy another world series but i hope for baseball's sake he goes someplace else cause lord knows we don't need to give New yorkers another reason to be arrogant pri*ks.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 29, 2010 at 12:49 PM
I love reading the comments by Yankee haters. Please understand that the Yankees do buy their championships, and if it was not for teams like the Yankees MLB would not be able to pay the wages of the players on the Rangers roster. So, if the Rangers win the world series please thank a Yankee!!!

Religion is a scam
Is All Religion a SCAM?
1. A ploy by a shyster to raise money.
2., A fraudulent business scheme. To scam means to victimize: deprive of by deceit; \He swindled me out of my inheritance\; \She defrauded the customers who trusted her\; \the cashier gypped me when he gave me too little change\
3. A confidence trick, confidence game, or con for short (also known as a scam) is an attempt to intentionally mislead a person or persons (known as the mark) usually with the goal of financial or other gain. The confidence trickster, con man, scam artist or con artist often works with an accomplice called the shill, who tries to encourage the mark by pretending to believe the trickster.
Let's examine some truth:
Truth 1) All religions make money and power from their flock.
Truth 2) All religions* promise life after death, AND they promise that members of the flock will benefit in that afterlife from their association with the church/synagogue/mosque. Whether it's an amorphous \closeness to God\, or eternity in Heaven, or 72 virgins, they make lots of promises about an afterlife that doesn't exist. They appeal to wishful thinking, egos, and love of life to insent the parishioners to follow and give.
Let's face it: religion tells a good story. All you need to do is follow the preacher and good things will happen. You will never really die, and due to your involvement in (insert religion here) you will benefit for eternity. Yes, it pleases the invisible man-in-the-sky that you follow your preacher -- just ask your preacher and he will tell you.
Sometimes, religions ask for money directly, and sometimes it's more indirect, but there is always money involved, and there is always a promise that will never be kept. Money and power in exchange for something that will never be recieved, and you can't even ask for a refund! This is a SCAM.
Billions of adherents, many of whom are preachers themselves, all victims of this Great Scam. Some know it's a scam, yet defend religion because they like the lies. They like the fraud. They like the false sense of security. Unfortunately, no matter how much you like a lie, it doesn't make it truth. It DOES make religion a great scam if victims are willing to defend it, even in the face of truth.
SO -- if you know it's a scam:
- Why do you give it money? Why to you follow? Do you like being scammed?
- Why do you allow your loved ones to follow? Why not raise their awareness so they can keep their money and their dignity?Because they like being scammed?
- Why are you silent? Because the scam-artist preachers want you to be?
American Atheists doesn't think religion deserves respect for lying or scamming people. Religion is a major conduit of wealth and power in this country, and this all comes at the expense of well-meaning intelligent victims of the greatest con-job ever. We urge you to get off your knees, keep you money, and regain your dignity.
If you can read this (if you are human), you are the top of the food-chain. There are no beings on Earth greater than humans. Yes -- eventually, you will die, and wishing it weren't true won't change that, but at least you can live a full and meaningful life here and now, instead of wasting it following a god you know is a myth, and a religion you know is a scam.
* Some secular philosophies, including Secular Judaism, Secular Islam, and Secular Buddhism, call themselves religions. We respectfully disagree with their definitions and do not allege they are scams, as they do not promise an afterlife or promote any deity.

Black Ops 2 NEEDS a BETA!
Like (0)
Activision and Treyarch, listen up.
The Call of Duty series is the most selling entertainment release of all time, but how long will you actually hold that title? Call of Duty each year gets more popular and popular, but to the fans from the start of this series it has gotten worse. I say, ever since MW2, the series has become very lackluser. Black Ops came close, but it still didn't fix the problems that was present (Second Chance Invincibility, FAMAS placebo patch, and Ghost being the best and dominant first tier perk).
MW3 is a MW2 in my opinion. Not a sense like same guns, engine, etc. I'm saying the process that they chose with the game. While they added more features, they failed to fix MW2's core problems (Deathstreaks, Killstreaks dominating the game, and Snipers being too powerful at close range).
The solution to Call Of Duty's problem is to have a BETA release. Activison has said many times they can't afford a BETA, but Call of Duty is a 4.7 billion dollar franchise. You should be able to afford a BETA at this point, no more lies. I know Treyarch are willing to do anything for the fans. I think the fans want a BETA for the game. Patches aren't gonna help a Call of Duty game get better. By the time a patch comes out, people have already quit your game.
WE are the ones who made you a Juggernaut company.
WE made you a Juggernaut company.
Only YOU can decide what's best, which should be this right here.
Think about what is important.
They have confirmed that they will provide beta invites to forum veterans.
So if you signed to the site during time of World at War and you have over 1000 posts you will receive beta invite.
1.Source first.
2.That sounds ridiculous. Everybody should get the BETA, even the n00bs and little kids because when they use something cheap, Treyarch can replace it or get rid of it to make the game better.
I've been a member since WAW but since the Elite... i had to make a new account anyways i could still get in? or cause of Elite have i no chance now ?
I'm not sure how they will handle the account verification but if you can still log in with your old account to the site and its not banned, you will probably get to the beta.
I don't think i can, i think i kinda reset my self when creating a Elite account i should have used a different email account.
Well that sucks :/
But there is always CoD XP event for others to test the beta.
Yeah i wish im in the Uk so no Cod XP over here
Matuzz maybe a lot to ask. but can you tweet Dj vahn for me to highlight this thread to him. He will take more notice of you than me.
You slick b4stard. lol
Fake, I just looked at David Vonderhaar's twitter and he didn't tweet between January 1st and January 19th.
I looked aswell i don't think Matuzz would lie though, so maybe Vahn removed it.
They always do a beta of some type either way lets just hope the beta team is better than the last two teams were on the pervious cods
so, how exactly is it fair to those of us that choose to play rather than troll the forums that the veteran forum trolls get to participate in the beta but we don't?
matuzz wrote:
Might be unfair for some, but forum veterans deserve them.
Don't worry they are good CoD players and will iron out all the balance problems.
Did nobody notice that he posted this on April 1? Damn some people will believe anything.
There will probably be no public BETA...again. Sad, but true. Look the last the COD to have a public BETA had the worst sales TREND in the series history. Activision is not likely to make the same mistake twice.
Think of it like this- A beta is probably cheaper than hiring QA people. Plus, I'm pretty sure they don't have betas so they can keep the hype train going, but come on people, we all know how CoD plays. The MAJOR difference is just weapons and killstreaks. BO2 should have one EVEN if it is only for a week!
I think what activision is thinking seeing as games of late have started off rocky to begin with atleast, it does not want people to see how bad/good the game is before they pay for it.
People me included will buy cod just to keep up with friends so you don't get left out thats what they win on clever sods
True, I have actually seen people say they are not buying the full game because a beta was too buggy. Sadly, the world is full of idiots like that who think beta=demo. I would gladly sacrifice several weekends to beta test and think "this is not a representation of the full game." In fact, if there was a beta, that quote should be in a huge font and you have to stare at it every time you boot it up.
The main reason why I personally want a beta is weapon balance. We could have seen the FMG9 before hand and the cruddy shotguns in MW3. I could care less about bugs because they get patched regardless, although with a beta MORE would get patched.
I totally agree dude, If you we had a beta at least a good majortity of those problems would be sorted as it is we have to wait for like 6 months plus for the game to be actually worth it which is a tread thats really starting to put me off.
Gosh I hope I can beta test!
.....The beta (I hope probably would be SUPER AWESOME!

bump news, week 21
How have I gotten through half of this pregnancy without starting the bump updates??? I think it might have something to do with this being the third bump in less than four and a half years, LOL.
Well, with grandparents in town visiting and the kiddos happily occupied, I decided to seize the opportunity for a bit of alone time and start documenting numero three before he/she is born already!
Babe is very active, with lots of flutters and kicks since about 14 weeks (the earliest I've ever felt movement). Jackson and Walker have both felt the kicks too, and they are both so sweetly excited. Listening to the heartbeat was amazing during our last visit with our midwife, and Jackson has been convinced ever since that it is a boy (although he says he would prefer a sister).
All is well, and we can't wait to meet this little person in March!

Cavaliers notes: Varejao says knee is sore, lacks mobility (with video)
The Cavaliers are starting to adjust to playing without starting center Anderson Varejao.
That's fortunate, too, because he's been ruled out of their weekend games vs. Atlanta on Friday and at Brooklyn on Saturday.
"Every day I can do more and more with my knee," he said. "I'm pretty confident I'll be back soon. I want to be back tomorrow, but I know it's not possible. But, hopefully, a week, another week. That would be perfect for me."
He said his bruised right knee is sore and lacks mobility.
"The only thing that really hurts is when I try to bend (it) or push off," Varejao said. "That's when I get the sharp pain. Overall, it's fine to walk around and do basic stuff."
The 6-foot-11, 260-pounder is trying to keep up on his cardio by running on a treadmill.
"I'm able to shoot," he said. "I'm able to do cardio. I've been running a lot on the treadmill. I'm trying to lift weights, upper body. I'm doing a lot of stretching with my knee. I just can't have contact yet."
Cavs coach Byron Scott said Varejao won't play until he's healthy.
"We want him to be close to 100 percent as possible before he steps back out on that court," he said. "The spot he got hit is tender. I'm not concerned." Continued...
Varejao was bummed out he can't play on "Wild Thing Wig Night."
"It's really sad I can't play on my day," he said. "I wish I could play tonight, but I know the fans are excited and I'm very excited. I can't wait to see how it's going to be tonight."
Livingston, I presume?
In the perfect world, Scott would like to see newly acquired point guard Shaun Livingston practice on Monday before he gets in a game. However, Scott probably wants to get a look at him in a game situation.
He was claimed on waivers on Tuesday.
Livingston, 27, had a terrible knee injury in 2007 when he tore his ACL and MCL, among other things.
"I tried to remain positive," he said. "I had a good supporting cast. There was a lot of prayer. I had tons of doubt."
He said he never watched the gruesome video.
"Out of sight, out of mind," he said.
There was an Internet report that the Philadelphia 76ers were going to claim him on waivers, but the Cavs jumped in and put in a claim. Continued...
"I would like to see him practice first, just so I can see him run the offense," Scott said.
However, the coaches are getting the 6-foot-7, 175-pounder up to speed with the offense.
Samardo shipped out
On a night they already knew they wouldn't have Varejao, the Cavs assigned power forward Samardo Samuels to the Canton Charge. The 6-9, 246-pound Samuels has played in 18 games (one start) this season for the Cavs. He's averaging 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds.
Scott said Samuels will be in the Development League for at least two games to get some playing time.
"I wanted him to go down there and get some run," Scott said. "With the way Luke (Walton) has been playing last few games, (Samuels was expendable)."
Quick shots
-- Scott was surprised by the firing of Nets coach Avery Johnson this week. "I know him well," Scott said. "He's a very good friend of mine. I'm disappointed. This is a business. Twenty-some games are not a whole lot of games. When you have a bunch of new guys, it's going to take some time. It's the NBA."
-- The Canton Charge have acquired forward/center JaJuan Johnson, a 6-10, 208-pounder from Purdue, and a first-round choice in the 2013 NBA Development League Draft from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in exchange for the rights to Luke Harangody and their third-round draft choice in the 2013 draft. Harangody was acquired by Canton using their waiver preference position.
-- The Hawks were playing without two players on Friday, forward Ivan Johnson (stomach illness) and guard Devin Harris (sore left foot).

Bank robbery suspect nabbed quickly by police
By Dan Eakin, firstname.lastname@example.com
A 37-year-old Dallas man was arrested shortly after he allegedly robbed the Compass Bank in the 3000 block of E. Trinity Mills Road about 9:30 a.m. Friday.
Jon Stovall, information management officer for the Carrollton Police Department, said a man walked into the bank, displayed a weapon and demanded money.
�Police followed up on a lead,� Stovall said. �Officers went to an apartment complex in the 6000 block of Belt Line Road in Dallas. With assistance from the Addison and Dallas police departments, Rodney DeWayne Womack was taken into custody.�
�Because a weapon was displayed during the offense, he is being charged with aggravated robbery as opposed to robbery,� Stovall said.
As of Tuesday, Womack remained in the Carrollton Municipal Jail.
�Our 911 dispatchers, patrol officers from Carrollton and neighboring cities, and our detectives all worked together to quickly apprehend this potentially dangerous suspect,� Stovall said. �This is an example of what our officers are doing out there on the street every day.�

AA Q&A: Mike Breen
Mike Breen has been the voice of the NBA Finals on ABC since 2006 and is currently ESPN's number one play by play man for the NBA. Besides his work for ESPN, he is also the central play by play man for the Knicks on the MSG Network and has also announced basketball in several Olympic Games for NBC. He's called some of the most memorable NBA games in recent years including the 2002 Celtics comeback against the Nets, Malice in the Palace, 2008 Celtics/Lakers, and of course, last night's thrilling Mavericks comeback in Miami. Mike is one of the top play by play announcers in sports, but also has a humorous side that may surprise viewers. In this interview with AA, Mike talks about last night's game, these NBA Finals, working with Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, and Bill... from White Plains.
Q: Our traditional first question is how you got your start in the business, what got you interested in sports broadcasting, and how you got to announcing the Finals on ABC?
A: Like a lot of kids, I had a love of sports. I grew up in a family of 6 boys and it was sports 24/7. I quickly knew I wasn't going to be good enough to play at the next level and wanted to find a way somehow to stay involved. I went to college specifically for sports broadcasting. I went to Fordham and they have a top notch student radio station, I broadcasted men's and women's basketball and baseball and hosted a talk show. Right away I caught the bug. After I graduated I took a typical small market route working at tiny radio stations in Poughkeepsie, NY, did Marist College basketball when Rik Smits was there... a few years later I was fortunate to get the pre and postgame radio job for the Knicks and that was my first venture into the NBA.
Q: I remember the first time I saw you on national television was actually as the sports reporter on Imus in the Morning and how funny you were. I didn't know until today that you were actually Bill from White Plains.
A: (Laughs) I've never actually officially confirmed that. Every once in a while I'll still meet somebody who will say I used to listen to you on Imus, and they'll say "did you ever meet that guy Bill from White Plains who used to call in," and I can't break their hearts so I always say, "yea I never met him but he seems like a good guy." So there are some people that actually believe it was a different person.
Q: How much of your personality and humor is brought into your announcing?
A: A lot depends on who your partner is... with Jeff and Mark it's so easy to have some fun on the broadcast. Jeff is so funny and I think Mark is hilarious as well so I play more the straight man with those guys. Every once and a while I'll try to have some fun with them, but those guys are so funny that my role is the straight man.
Q: How has the chemistry of that booth developed and what are some of your challenges working in a 3 man booth?
A: Matt, it started 20 years ago when I first started broadcasting Knick games on the radio. Jeff was an assistant coach and Mark was a player, so we've known each other for 20 years and quite honestly we've grown up in the NBA together. Very early on we knew each other, we were all around the same age, and I learned so much about the NBA game from Jeff when he was the head coach and Mark obviously played for him. The familiarity and knowing the guys for so long has made a difference. To me, the coolest part is the dynamic between Jeff and Mark. To have two analysts in the same booth and one guy coached the other guy, I find that really interesting. Because we've been good friends for so long we can pretty much say anything, even if it's completely disagreeing with what the other guy said, nobody's feelings get hurt and that's a real fun part of it.
Q: So you guys won't be appearing in the ESPN book paperback with some comments about each other?
A: Fortunately none of us are in that book. (Laughs) I think it came before we got there.
Q: What's it like to be the play by play man for the Finals?
A: It sounds corny, but it's a dream come true. I always pinch myself before Game 1 every year because I can't believe I get this opportunity. Ever since I was a little kid I've loved basketball. I really do feel blessed because for me it's a privilege to be able to call these games.
Q: Last night's game was one of the most improbable comebacks in Finals history. When you're announcing a game like that, is there a point where you look to Jeff and Mark and say to yourselves, wow this is one of those games that will be remembered for a long time?
A: During the game, because you have so much to concern yourself with, you don't really think that much. After the game, you think that may be one of the all-time games. During the game you're so focused on making sure you document everything the right way, but at the same time you have to put into perspective where this game stands. We knew it was pretty special because it really seemed like it was over. Miami was dominant in that stretch from it being a close game to all of a sudden they're up 15, all the momentum was gone, Dallas' body language wasn't right, and it was like the flip of a switch how incredible it happened. It happened so quickly, they cut off 7 points in like a minute and a half. You're thinking oh wow, they did that quickly. It was stunning from the standpoint of how dominant Miami was when the comeback began...
