Law & Politics
Meanwhile in GERMANY.
Germany thrives on Chinese investments
Dec 6, 2010
Germany accounts for about half of China's total Europe-bound investments, said Cao Yi, a senior official from Germany's foreign trade and investment promotion agency.
China became Germany's second largest investor in 2009, and invested in 65 green field projects in the country in 2009, more than triple the 21 projects in 2008. The number of Germany's green field projects with investments from China was only four in 2003, 2004, and 2006, six in 2005, and seven in 2007. Michael Pfeiffer, chief executive of the agency, said that the number increased by 50 percent in 2010 from the previous year.
The steady increase in the number Chinese enterprises in Germany is inseparable from the rapid growth in China-Germany trade volume over the past 10 years. Germany imported about 76.5 billion euros worth of Chinese products, which accounts for nearly 10 percent of the country's total imports last year and made China its largest supplier of imported goods.
At present, China is Germany's third largest trading partner, following France and the Netherlands. China-Germany foreign trade surpassed that between Germany and the United States in 2009, and reached more than 130 billion euros in 2010, making China the largest trading partner of Germany following the European Union.
No matter whether one is in Hamburg, Berlin or Frankfurt, Chinese supermarkets and stores can be found, which help local residents buy Chinese food in Germany. Furthermore, there are more Chinese restaurants, and some Chinese people have opened hotels in Germany.
China has made great efforts to integrate itself into world markets since its accession to the World Trade Organization. The accession has also encouraged Chinese enterprises to invest in Germany and to make China Germany's largest supplier and second largest investor.
It's interesting to see that the Chinese government feels it needs to promote itself so much on WSJ forums and when commenting on articles.
Nonetheless, It's really too bad that the MAINLAND Chinese are so stupid as to assume that their unique formula of state led capitalism, with information controls, censorship and propaganda will propel them into a developed country.
I am anxiously awaiting the cyclical crisis that will be great for China bear investors. If you live in China, you should know how to walk to the airport in your city once civil unrest breaks out following the Chinese crisis.
Judicial reform in China is moving ahead – but very slowly, within limits and as long as it does not threaten Party control, writes expert contributor Stanley Lubman.
If Thailand's allegation proves to be true, the Bangkok blast would mark a rare spillover of violence related to Uighurs outside China.
Engagement between government-affiliated Weibo accounts and ordinary users can sometimes produce messy results, writes expert contributor Yiyi Lu.
The greatest military parade in Chinese history sent strong messages to multiple audiences Thursday, writes expert contributor Andrew Erickson.

Im thinking about switching to phoenix for next year. Ive heard alot of good things about them, however like any other boat im sure they have thier problems. Do you guys mind sharing with me what some of these problems/dislikes are?
Im thinking about switching to phoenix for next year. Ive heard alot of good things about them, however like any other boat im sure they have thier problems. Do you guys mind sharing with me what some of these problems/dislikes are?
PM sent to ya Cory
The only dislike i would have with my
720 is the butt seat is pressed on to the
pro pole so you can not remove the seat
And put it in a storage compartment out
of the way
Quite honestly there is really not anything to complain or dislike about my boat. I am going on 1.5 yrs with it and with anything you would figure the honeymoon phase would be over after a year but, still loving it! Although I don't know what I would do if they made a 919! I would have to really consider trading for the wider deck.
Jason Phillips
2016 BassCat Cougar FTD
2016 Mercury Pro XS 250
Our warranty claims here at the dealership have been minimal for Phoenix compared to the other brand of bass boats we used to carry. It makes a huge difference when a manufacturer takes there time and builds it right with quality components versus rushing one out the door to tout we make X amount of boats per year.
If you put your trust in Phoenix, you wont be disappointed.
Get Outside! w/ Henry
I was just wondering when they will be coming out with a 1019 over the 919 I would like a little wider deck LOL HA LOL HA
The 1019 will be out right after Ranger introduces the Z513x13. Heard it will be 13' long by 13' wide and they are going to rate it unlimited to try and finally break 65.
Jason Phillips
Jason Phillips
Come on Cory im banking on you getting a 920 I think youll really enjoy a bird
USMC Combat Vet 0331
"Their trolling and the hooks anit big enough" well shit "They're messing with the wrong school they ate their WHEATIES"
If I get one it will be the new 920.... With the sho of corse
Mmmm, let me think............................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...
Nope, guess I can't really offer suggestions on things I don't like. Only things would be a few options I would do differently, but those are personal choices.
I do fit my front butt seat in the starboard rod locker (on the 618, it has to "lay flat" so the inner lid stiffener doesn't touch it). I also have fenders, ropes, hats, fire extinquisher, shoes, cup holders and life jackets in there with it.
1st PHOENIX in Michigan
I'll give you a couple minor things. 1. The live well drain plugs are not on the bottom of the wells, so you can never get them dry, plus the plugs don't actually keep the water from coming in from outside the boat anyway. 2. The ribbed seal less design of the compartments works wonderfully, but there are no ribs on the bilge area lid, so when you stop and water comes up the back it'll get into your bilge, so if you like to keep your bilge dry it isn't easy. She is hard to keep the water off the back of her unless you stop really carefully. That is my list of dislikes, so as you can probably guess I'm pretty happy.
My 719 chines badly when I'm really in the throttle. Cooler sorta sucks. Bad backwash when you shut down quick. Fishes great, goodies everywhere and overall a great boat. The Phoenix folks are great and responsive.
Your chine issue may be as simple as setup. I can run 72 with no wobble in my 719 but anything after that I have to stay in front of it. But not bad. I guess I never paid attention to the backwash since all my other boats have done it and i have gotten used to feathering it down to a stop.

Microsoft's stunning 120-inch 4k widescreen TV: Samsung watch out
Microsoft doesn't make televisions, but that hasn't stopped the company making one for itself to demo its vision of the home of the future at its brand new Envisioning Centre at the company's headquarters in Seattle.
The new 120-inch, 4K, widescreen television - presumably taking the title of the world's largest 4K TV away from Samsung - is being used to demo a full Kinect-enabled storytelling experience that Microsoft believes will be the norm within five to 10 years.
The absolutely stunning screen is, as you would expect for 4k, pin-sharp, with no pixelating even up close.
The Microsoft demo, shown to Pocket-lint behind closed doors, illustrated how in the future the TV will be connected to a number of different technologies around the home, including the picture frames around it to extend the image on screen further (in this case a video animation of a children's story), and lights to create a full immersive experience in your living room.
So far a number of manufacturers have starting making 4K televisions, showing us the results at CES in January, but none as big and as wide as this.
But before you get too excited, Microsoft tells us there are no plans to start selling TVs and that this TV in their Envisioning Centre is purely for it to get the conversation started with its partners who they invite in to have a look.
Microsoft employees based in Redmond reading this should note, however, that the man in charge of the Envisioning Centre, Anton Andrews, has told Pocket-lint that he is trying to work out how to start up a movie night.
Oh. and that picture displayed on the television is drawn specifically for the screen using Microsoft Fresh Paint app.

CREDO Action Campaign Manager Josh Nelson told CityBeat that the group emailed the petition with 4,021 signatures to the Department of Labor Wednesday morning.
The petition reads: "Requiring employees to attend a Mitt Romney political rally without pay is totally unacceptable. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether Murray Energy violated any federal laws on August 14th, and to hold it fully accountable if it did."
Romney appeared at the event to attack what he called President Barack Obama's "war on coal." He was flanked on stage by hundreds of miners with soot-stained faces.
Dozens of those miners told WWVA-AM West Virginia talk show host David Blomquist that they were pulled from the mine before their shift was over and not paid for the full day of work. The miners, who Blomquist did not identify, said they were told that attendance at the rally was mandatory.
Murray Energy Chief Financial Officer Rob Moore told Blomquist on his radio show that managers "communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend."
He said that people who did not show up to the event, which organizers say drew 1,500 miners and family members, were not penalized for their absence.
"Forcing Ohio workers to participate in a political rally is unacceptable, so we're joining our friends at SEIU in calling on the U.S. Department of Labor to conduct an investigation to determine whether or not any federal laws were broken," Nelson wrote in an email to CREDO Action's Ohio activists on Sept. 1.
A spokeswoman for the Labor Department was not immediately able to confirm whether the department had received the petition or planned to launch an investigation.
This post will be updated with comment from the Labor Department when it becomes available.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus held a conference call with Ohio reporters Wednesday morning in response to Tuesday comments by Democratic Vice President Joe Biden that the middle class had been "buried" in the last four years.
"Obama and Biden have buried the middle class, and now they want to bury them some more," Priebus told reporters.
"I mean, just imagine what Barack Obama would do. He buried us economically in this country knowing that he would have to face re-election. Just imagine what he would do with nothing but daylight in front of him. Just imagine where this economy would go."
Biden made his comments before an audience of about 1,000 in Charlotte on Tuesday. He said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's tax cuts for millionaires would raise taxes for the middle class.
"How can they justify raising classes on a middle class that has been buried the last four years?" Biden said.
Biden tried to clarify that he meant they had been buried by policies supported by Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan.
Republicans, however, jumped on the comment immediately, with Romney tweeting, "the middle class has been buried the last 4 years, which is why we need a change in November."
Priebus said despite polling showing Obama pulling ahead of Romney in Ohio that the state would be very close. He said Republicans have a better ground game and would "crush" Democrats.
"I think we're going to crush the Democrats on the ground," Priebus said.
"I just don't think they've got a very good ground game. I've looked through it, I've seen it. It's all smoke and mirrors."
Priebus said if Romney were to lose Ohio, he was still optimistic about Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada.
"We've got it all on the table. Ohio is, of course, extremely important. It's nothing new, but I also see avenues to 270 (electoral votes) opening up for Mitt Romney in places that weren't there in '08."
The Ohio Turnpike will remain a public asset, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Many Ohioans have been worried Gov. John Kasich would attempt to privatize the Turnpike in order to pay for transportation projects; instead, the governor will try to generate revenue for state infrastructure projects elsewhere, perhaps by using the Turnpike's tolls. Kasich will unveil his full plans Thursday and Friday.
The asbestos lawsuit bill is heading to Kasich to be signed. The bill attempts to curb duplicate lawsuits over on-the-job asbestos exposure. Supporters of the bill say it will prevent double-dipping by victims, but opponents say the bill will impede legitimate cases. Ohio has one of the largest backlogs of on-the-job asbestos exposure cases.
City Manager Milton Dohoney has released some of the potential bids for the city's parking services, and one bidder is offering $100 to $150 million. Dohoney says the budget can only be balanced if parking services are privatized or the city lays off 344 employees. But Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is speaking out against the privatization of the city's parking services. In a statement, Sittenfeld said, "Outsourcing our parking system robs the city of future revenue, and also will mean higher parking rates, longer hours of enforcement, and more parking tickets."
LGBT rights are becoming "the new normal," but not for Western & Southern or American Financial Group. In the 2012 Corporate Equality Index, the Human Rights Campaign gave 252 companies a 100-percent score for LGBT rights.

The Sierra Club says Cincinnati has some of the best and worst transportation projects. In its annual report, the environmental group praised the Cincinnati streetcar, claiming the transportation project will attract residents and business owners. But the organization slammed the Eastern Corridor Highway project because of its negative impact on the Little Miami River and the small village of Newtown. The Sierra Club says the purpose of the report is to shed light on the more than $200 billion spent on transportation projects every year.

Following the defeat of Issue 2, the Ohio Senate is taking on redistricting reform, but opponents in the House say there isn't enough time to tackle the issue. The current redistricting system is widely abused by politicians on both sides of the aisle in a process called "gerrymandering," which involves politicians redrawing district lines in politically beneficial ways. The First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, was redrawn during the Republican-controlled process to include Republican-leaning Warren County, heavily diluting the impact of Cincinnati's Democratic-leaning urban vote.
Ohio employers are more aware of wellness than employers in other states, a new survey found. Wellness programs are one way employers can bring down health-care expenditures as cost shifting feels the pinch of diminishing returns.

Preempting the Wednesday homecoming of presumed Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to his alma mater Miami University, the Obama campaign is opening an office in Oxford Tuesday evening.
The guest speaker at the office opening will be Butler County Democratic Party Chairwoman Jocelyn Bucaro who, according to a news release, will contrast the competing visions of President Barack Obama and his presumptive Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.
"The Romney-Ryan budget would devastate the security of senior citizens — ending Medicare as we know it by turning the program into a voucher system and privatizing Social Security," the release read.
Along with a Milford office which is also opening Tuesday, the Oxford office with contribute to the total of nine campaign offices in the region. The Obama campaign has offices in East Walnut Hills, College Hill, Forest Park, Cheviot, Middletown, Springboro and Mason.
Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Ryan will speak Wednesday evening at Miami University's Engineering Quad, according to the Miami College Republicans' Facebook page.
Ryan graduated from Miami in 1992 and was asked back as the commencement speaker in 2009.
Romney is planning a bus tour with three Ohio stops on Tuesday.

UPDATE: City Councilman Chris Bortz called Thursday morning to say that although Councilman Jeff Berding included Bortz's printed name as a co-sponsor on Berding's motion, Bortz won't sign the pledge. "I think it's premature to sign a pledge at this stage," Bortz said. "I support the thrust of it."
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics today released a disappointing job report. Unemployment fell to 8.1 percent in August, and 96,000 jobs were added nationwide. But economists were expecting about 150,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate fell largely due to people giving up on the job hunt, which means they are no longer counted in the labor pool.
One of the reasons for disappointment is the drop in public jobs. People are quick to look at the private sector when these kind of numbers come up, but the public sector employs people, too. And the public sector lost 10,000 jobs at state and local levels, according to today's jobs report.
That follows the trend of the past few years. The public sector has been doing poorly since the Great Recession started, according to this chart from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
The chart shows state and local payrolls since the beginning of the recession. It proves quite clearly that governments have been making cuts to public jobs.
Ohio has not avoided government job cuts. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reported July's unemployment rate at 7.2 percent, which was unchanged from June's unemployment rate. The biggest loss in jobs for the month came from government, which lost 5,300 jobs statewide. In comparison to July 2011, July 2012 had 4,400 fewer government jobs.
Instinctively, it makes some sense. As the recession kicks in and families and businesses are forced to budget for lower expectations, it might seem natural to expect the government to do the same.
However, many economists argue it should be the opposite. They say the government should be used to balance out the private sector. In other words, when the private sector is performing poorly — recession — the government should step in to make up for the drop. When the private sector is performing well — boom — the government can relax and run budget surpluses.
Paul Krugman, a Nobel-winning economist, has advocated for this approach time and time again. In his New York Times column and blog, Krugman has pushed for more stimulus efforts from the federal government, and he called for a much larger stimulus package than the $787 billion package President Barack Obama signed into law in 2009.
The data seems to support economists calling for more action. Last month, the Brookings Institute conducted a study that found June's national unemployment rate would be at 7.1 percent if governments hadn't made cuts.
What this means is if governments truly want to fix the economic crisis, they might want to kick the debt can down the road. But considering many cities and states have constitutional amendments requiring balanced budgets, that might be hard to pull off.
Activists gathered on Thursday outside of the West Chester office of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, asking the House's top official to look at reducing military spending when coming up with a budget.
The group of nearly two dozen — which included nuns, a veteran, a retiree advocate, a small businessman and progressive activists — held signs reading, "It is time for Nation Building in the United States. Cut Massive Pentagon Budget Now!" and "End Tax Breaks for Richest 2%."
"We're here today in front of Speaker of the House John Boehner's West Chester office to drive home the fact that we believe that over 50 percent of the budget magically, this elephant in the House, has failed to be discussed as we discuss taking away services that provide human needs," said David Little of Progress Ohio.
"Any discussion that fails to address excesses in that budget is failing the American people."
Little added that it was possible to support the troops and veterans without spending billions on pointless wars.
Butler County attorney and Navy veteran Bruce Carter said the military can be more efficient in what he called the changing mission.
"When you refuse to have a discussion on over half of the budget, that's like trying to tell the Bengals to win a game without going over the 50 yard line," he said.
The group had a letter to deliver to Boehner, which contained what they called a statement of principles.
"We believe in a holistic approach to the budget crisis, and in order to protect the middle-class, cuts to the Pentagon need to be at the forefront," the letter states. "We understand that Pentagon cuts are a controversial issue, however, Pentagon cuts in the sequester do not threaten our national security."
The letter suggests that some of the money currently being spent on the Defense Department goes to providing services for veterans.
The military accounted for about 52 percent — or $600 billion — of discretionary spending in fiscal year 2011.
In contrast, education, training and social services collectively made up 9 percent of the budget.
The group of four activists weren't allowed into Boehner's office, but a young staffer met them outside. He said that the speaker thought everything should be on the table when it came to budget cuts.
City Council took a contentious vote on Thursday to give the city manager a pay raise and a bonus.
Those in favor of the 10 percent raise and $35,000 bonus for Milton Dohoney say he is underpaid, has done a great job for the city and has gone five years without a merit raise. Those opposed say it's bad timing and sends the wrong message when many city workers have also gone years without a pay increase.
Dohoney was hired in August 2006. He hasn't received a merit raise since 2007, but has collected bonuses and cost of living adjustments over the years. He currently makes about $232,000 and the raise would bump that up to $255,000. Dohoney made $185,000 when he started the job.
Council approved the raise on a 6-2 vote, with councilmen Christopher Smitherman and Chris Seelbach voting against it.
Before the vote, Mayor Mark Mallory lauded the manager, saying he set high expectations and didn't expect Dohoney to meet them, but the manager exceeded all of them.
"To do anything other than that (approve the raise) is a backhanded slap in the face and actually a statement that we want the manager gone," Mallory said. "We are going to give him a raise. And from where I sit we're not giving him a big enough raise."
The raise came from a performance review conducted by Democratic council members Yvette Simpson, Cecil Thomas and sole council Republican Charlie Winburn.
Winburn said the city manager's financial management system is impeccable, Dohoney has pushed economic development, he has expanded the tax base and made sacrifices by not receiving a raise for the previous five years.
Other members of council pointed out that Dohoney isn't the only city employee who has gone a while without a raise.
"For me, look, 4 years ago I turned down a job at Google where I'd be making a hell of a lot more money," Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld told 700WLW radio host Scott Sloan. "This is public service. This is already the city's highest-paid employee."
Sittenfeld missed the council meeting Thursday afternoon because he was out of town on a personal matter, according to an aide.
Sittenfeld and others have raised questions over whether it is wise to give Dohoney a raise and bonus when the city faces an estimated $34 million budget deficit. Councilman Wendell Young said the raise would not hurt the budget.
Opponents also argued that it would look bad to give the manager a raise when other city employees are dealing with wage freezes. Police, for instance, agreed during contact negotiations this year to a two-year wage freeze. Though they received a raise in 2009.
Smitherman said city employee unions may keep that in mind during upcoming negotiations.
"Unions are going to remember this council extended a $35,000 bonus to the city manager."

FreeBSD on Beagle Bone Black, HAMMER2, and LLVMSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sunday 30th of August 2015 11:36:09 PM Filed under
FreeBSD on Beagle Bone Black (easy as pie)
For a long time, my Beagle Bone Black sat on my desk, gathering dust. Recently I decided I would give it a purpose: as a replacement for the crappy DHCP server and DNS on my home router (it's a Huawei g655d, and it has poor wireless range, a lousy interface, and wonky internal DNS). I ran an update on the Bone, which promptly downloaded a whole bunch of packages from the angstrom distribution. Over plain unauthenticated http. With, as far as I could see, no further checksumming or anything. Bad doggy.

Why FreeBSD should not adopt launchdSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 27th of August 2015 10:05:05 AM Filed under
I have been keeping an eye on NextBSD for some time, when it was initially just openlaunchd, an effort initially started by R. Tyler as a GSoC student in 2005 to, unsurprisingly, port the launchd system and service manager to FreeBSD. It was stalled for a long time until its revival in late 2013, but again moving very slowly.
Around November of 2014 at the MeetBSD conference, Jordan Hubbard delivered a talk entitled "FreeBSD: The Next 10 Years," which outlined a general desire for a more "event-driven" and unified configuration approach to FreeBSD, strongly implying the use of launchd as system bootstrap and service daemon, as well as other parts of the OS X low-level userspace.

February 1, 2011 Sometimes the most bizarre matches make the most interesting musical combination. Case in point: Metalachi, a band that combines heavy metal with Mariachi music.
June 21, 2005 Judas Priest has a new album out, Angel of Retribution, and is on tour this summer. Originally from Birmingham, England, Judas Priest pioneered the heavy metal sound in the 1970s and '80s. Lead singer Halford left the band in 1991, citing internal tension, and in 1998, he disclosed that he is gay during an interview on MTV. Nicknamed the "Metal God," Halford returned to Judas Priest in 2003. The band — which takes its name from the Bob Dylan song "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" — is best known for songs such as "Breaking the Law," "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Livin' After Midnight."

Mark Levin Book Saves Soldier's Life — Literally
Here's a story you won't hear every day.
Bob from Las Vegas calls in to the Levin show. It seems that some time ago Bob, an avid Levin fan and a canine handler in Vietnam, had called in and the host kindly sent him a copy of his book Rescuing Sprite.
As his fans well know, Levin is the dog lover's dog lover and his tale of his own dog was a bestseller.
So Bob loves the book, and sends it to his soldier son, deployed on his third tour of duty in Iraq. The son puts the book in his right pocket as he heads out on a mission. And he gets shot.
The bullet rips through the pocket where Levin's book is being carried. By the time it makes its way through the pages and chews out the soldier's thigh it has mostly done its damage -- to the book. Damage that could have been fatal without the book essentially acting as body armor.
Bob from Las Vegas calls in, "compelled to call," clearly tearful, to thank a stunned Levin for literally saving his son's life.
Here's the audio.
Oh yes. Levin is sending another book to Bob.

Colonoscopy is the gold standard when it comes to detecting and preventing colorectal cancer, especially for those with a family history of colon cancer or a history of inflammatory bowel disease.

UR Medicine gastroenterologist Dr. Danielle Marino explains some screening options for those with average risk of colorectal cancer.
A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine provided strong evidence that early introduction of peanuts can play a role in preventing children from developing peanut allergy. Pediatric food allergist Dr. Kirsi Jarvinen-Seppo offers her takeaways from this landmark study, and provides insight into potential changes in future recommendations.
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and UR Medicine experts Dr. Christina Cellini and Dr. Marcus Noel explain why there's no better time to learn about this disease and actions you can take to help prevent it.

2016 Could Be the Year Space Tourism Takes Off
Another form of Space Tourism, suborbital rocket flights, may soon be available to people who are merely really rich. As traditionally defined space begins 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface, thus a rocket that takes passengers to that altitude or beyond, is taking them into space. Even without going into orbit, the new Space Tourists will not only experience weightlessness, but will look down on Earth from space, a view that all who've seen it concur that it is one of the most beautiful and amazing things they've ever seen.Read More

While we are always happy to welcome the children to class, arriving late means we have to stop, get settled and often start over again which is unfair to the children who have arrived on time.

Years of bouncing from one foster care home to another have left Mason Jones (Patrick Davis) feeling unwanted and unloved. When the 17-year-old moves in with the Lewis family (Pete Freeland & Robyn Lively), they seem just like all of his previous foster parents: middle-aged, one child, and called by God to his change his life. However, unlike the others, the Lewis family is determined to keep Mason around, despite the initial wishes of their son, Nate, who views taking Mason into their home as an attempt to replace their deceased son and brother, Jack. With zero chances left and no other options than being locked up in juvenile detention, Mason starts attending a court mandated support group. There, he finds a surprise ally in the pastor's daughter, Lacey (Jeannette Grout), and learns important life lessons about humility, respect, and fresh starts.

Apple chip suppliers fall after report iPhone maker may lower chip orders
Shares of chip makers for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone are sliding after a DigiTimes article said the iPhone maker may curtail its chip orders for the fourth quarter. WHAT'S NEW: According to the DigiTimes report, Apple may be adjusting its chip orders lower for Q4. Sources said that a substantial integrated circuit supplier is saying that Apple has "slightly lowered lowered its demand for supplies for the new iPhones for December," the report said. The sources said that overall shipments of the iPhone 6s series are expected to reach 75M-80M units in the third quarter and 65M-70M units in Q4. WHAT'S NOTABLE: On September 28, Apple announced it has sold more than 13M new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models just three days after launch, a new record for the company. According to an iFixit report from September 25, a teardown of the new iPhone 6S Plus revealed components supplied by Qualcomm (QCOM), Skyworks (SWKS), Qorvo (QRVO), Avago (AVGO), NXP Semiconductors (NXPI), Cirrus Logic (CRUS) and Texas Instruments (TXN), among others. Other chip makers that have been mentioned as possible Apple suppliers in the past include Analog Devices (ADI), Maxim Integrated Products. (MXIM) and ON Semiconductor (ON). PRICE ACTION: In midday trading shares of the aforementioned chip makers are all lower with Qorvo, Avago, NXP and Analog Devices down approximately 4% to 5%. Apple is down about 1.4%.

Analyst more upbeat on Intel, downgrades Qorvo following trip to Asia
After traveling to Asia, Pacific Crest analyst Michael McConenell was more upbeat on the outlook for Intel (INTC), as well as smartphone chip makers Avago (AVGO) and Skyworks (SWKS). The analyst downgraded another smartphone chip maker, Qorvo (QRVO), to Sector Weight from Overweight, warning that the company's results may miss expectations down the road. BULLISH: Shipments of notebook computers appear set to exceed expectations by 5%-10% this month, after more of the devices seem to have been manufactured in August and September than in previous months, according to McConnell. Meanwhile, cloud customers are sparking a significant rebound in data centers' semiconductor demand, the analyst stated. Moreover, motherboard manufacturers say they are seeing increased demand for their products from desktop PC makers, the analyst stated. All of these trends bode well for Intel, indicated McConnell, who kept a $35 price target and Overweight rating on the shares. Demand for Avago's products appears to have remained healthy, given the company's low exposure to China and the strong demand for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 6S devices, the analyst stated. Another research firm, Craig-Hallum, recently estimated that Avago generates $6.75 of revenue per iPhone 6S sold, up from the $6.50 it obtained from the previous generation of iPhones. Pacific Crest's McConnell kept a $180 price target and Overweight rating on the shares of Avago. Skyworks should benefit from strong near-term demand trends, driven by a shift to module architectures, McConnell contended. According to the analyst, the company's 2016 outlook is also strong. BEARISH: Analysts' "out-quarter estimates" for Qorvo are too high, as they expect the company to grow 8.4% each quarter, versus only 5.9% for Skyworks, McConnell stated. Qorvo is facing several headwinds, including struggles with a key customer, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, and its inability to obtain more revenue per each iPhone sold, the analyst stated. These headwinds will probably prevent Qorvo from meeting analysts' expectations, warned McConnell. Additionally, the company will be hurt by the slowdown in the growth of the Chinese smartphone market, predicted the analyst, who cut his rating on the stock to Sector Weight from Overweight. PRICE ACTION: In morning trading, Intel rose 1.2% to $29.16, Avago dropped 1.7% to $124.56, Skyworks fell 3.6% to $84.58 and Qorvo declined 8.5% to $43.61.
Avago fundamentals have improved, says Pacific Crest
After traveling to Asia, Pacific Crest believes that demand for Avago's (AVGO) products remains healthy ,given the company's low exposure to China and strong demand for Apple's (AAPL) new iPhone. The firm reiterates a $180 price target and Overweight rating on the shares.

Cirrus leads iPhone suppliers higher as analysts dissect 6S
Cirrus Logic (CRUS), Skyworks (SWKS) and Qorvo (QRVO) are among the chipmakers that appear poised to obtain more revenue from Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 6S devices than from the previous generation of the market-leading smartphone. Research firms issued notes today based on their analysis of "teardowns" of the new phones after they went on sale for the first time, beginning in Australia. TEARDOWNS: Apple's common practice when rolling out its newest iPhone models is for Australia to be its first launch market. The unboxing of iPhones when they become available for sale for the first time anywhere in the world is a much anticipated event among the tech giant's fans, as well as by Apple-focused blogs and Wall Street analysts who follow the company. Websites like iFixit have become well known for their "teardowns" of the devices, where they purchase, take apart and analyze the way in which the device is made and how it differs from previous models. These teardowns are closely watched by analysts and can sometimes be catalysts for the stocks of iPhone component suppliers. CIRRUS: Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis says teardowns of Apple's iPhone 6S indicate Cirrus Logic secured both a smart codec and boosted amp win in the new phone. The company's content in each phone is likely towards the upper end of his $3.50-$4.00 estimate, Curtis tells investors, noting that he views this as better than expected. Curtis thinks the 6S content, coupled with the "several new growth drivers" Cirrus outlined at yesterday's technology day, could reverse the negative sentiment on the stock. He keeps an Overweight rating on the name with a $39 price target. OTHER WINNERS AND LOSERS: Skyworks and Qorvo saw their content rise 22% and 25% respectively, Curtis estimated. NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) is continuing to supply the NFC and Secure Element chips for the 6S devices, but is no longer providing the sensor hub, the analyst reported. The company will lose about 50c per iPhone as a result of this development, but it did know that it would no longer be providing the hub before it provided its guidance in July, according to Curtis. STMicroelectronics (STM) is no longer providing the secure MCU for the iPhone 6S, Curtis added. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Other companies that are supplying iPhone 6S components include Qualcomm (QCOM), Texas Instruments (TXN), and Avago (AVGO), iFixit reported. After conducting checks, Craig-Hallum analyst Anthony Stoss estimated that Skyworks will obtain about $6.50 of revenue per iPhone, up from about $5.50 previously, while Qorvo's revenue per device will rise to $6.25 from $5.75 and Avago will see its revenue per device increase to about $6.75 from about $6.50, Stoss believes. The firm kept Buy ratings on Skyworks, Avago, and Qorvo. PRICE ACTION: In morning trading, Cirrus shares jumped $4.36, or 16%, to $31.49, Skyworks added about 3% and Qorvo rose 4%. Meanwhile, NXP gained about 2% and STMicroelectronics advanced 2.5%.

iPhone 6S teardown positive for Skyworks, Qorvo, says Craig-Hallum
Craig-Hallum analyst Anthony Stoss says Apple (AAPL) iPhone 6S teardowns indicate content increases for Skyworks (SWKS), Qorvo (QRVO) and Avago (AVGO). Ross estimates Skyworks' content in the phone rose to $6.50 versus $5.50 in the first versions of iPhone 6, Qorvo's content rose to $6.25 from $5.75 and Avago's content rose to $6.75 from $6.50. He believes RF content is increasing and reiterates Buy ratings on all three names.

Analyst sees $55,000 car from Apple as soon as 2019
Apple (AAPL) could introduce a car by as soon as 2019, but assuming an average selling price of $55,000 and 200,000 shipments, the contribution to the tech giant's earnings in that year is probably not enough to "excite" investors, said the research team at Jefferies this morning. However, a car would give the tech giant some "much needed" diversification away from the iPhone and would be positive for the broader tech space, the firm added. RIPE FOR DISRUPTION: Jefferies analysts Sundeep Bajikar, Mark Lipacis and their team say their analysis indicates the automobile industry is "ripe for disruption" and that Apple is well positioned to introduce a car, potentially as early as 2019. A car could add 32c to Apple's earnings per share in FY19 under a best-case scenario, Bajikar tells investors. He assumes a $55,000 average selling price for an Apple Car and an operating margin of 20%, over 1,000 basis points higher than the Street's 2019 margin estimate for electric carmaker Tesla (TSLA). Investors are likely to find the assumptions "highly aggressive," the analyst cautions. Meanwhile, the potential earnings impact is probably not big enough for Apple investors to get excited and earnings contributions from a vehicle may not become meaningful before iPhone decelerates, the analysts argue. However, the firm said it could get more constructive on Apple shares if diversification in earnings were to drive less iPhone risk. Bajikar and Lipacis keep a Hold rating on the iPhone maker with a $126 price target. TOP CHIP PICKS: Efforts in the car market from tech heavyweights Apple and Google (GOOGL) will lead the industry to design and sell more intelligent vehicles, accelerating the growth of semiconductors for automobiles above current forecasts, contend Jefferies' analysts in a separate note to investors this morning. The analysts lay out their top picks among automotive semiconductor suppliers, saying the pending merger of NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) and Freescale (FSL) will create the world's biggest automotive semi company, adding that growth in microcontroller content and networking applications will benefit that combined giant. NVIDIA's (NVDA) automotive sales have grown the fastest since the end of the 2012 fiscal year among the companies the firm follows, while Maxim Integrated (MXIM) had the second fastest growth in that time frame, the analysts noted in naming those two as their other top picks in the space. Lipacis and Bajikar identified Analog Devices (ADI), Microchip (MCHP) and Linear Technology (LLTC) as other notable beneficiaries from the expected growth of semiconductor content in automobiles.

Dialog to acquire Atmel in move towards Internet of Things
Atmel (ATML) reached an agreement Sunday to be acquired by Dialog Semiconductor in a deal valued at approximately $4.6B, or the equivalent of $10.42 per Atmel share. Jalal Bagherli, CEO of U.K.-based Dialog, remarked that the combined company will be "a diversified, high-growth market leader" in chips for mobile devices, connected vehicles, and the Internet of Things. In a subsequent Bloomberg interview regarding the deal, Bagherli explained, "We passed the computing era, we're at the height of the mobile era, and we're about to enter the IoT era." The news comes after several semiconductor mergers in 2015 amid slowing growth and saturated markets, with Intel (INTC) agreeing in June to acquire Altera (ALTR) and Avago (AVGO) striking a deal in May for Broadcom (BRCM). Note also China's apparent desire to control companies in the space, evidenced by state-owned firms China Electronics Corp. and Tsinghua's respective pursuits of Atmel and Micron (MU).
