Report: Cuban umpire Diaz defects to U.S.
Nov 30, 2009, 6:24 PM EDT
El Nuevo Herald is reporting that Nelson Diaz, an umpire for 26 years in Cuba, has defected to the U.S. and arrived in Miami on Sunday. Diaz was behind the plate when Cuba sent a team to Baltimore for an exhibition against the Orioles in 1999. He also worked in the 2006 World Baseball Classic…
Heyman: Mariners turn down Tigers' Jackson proposal
Nov 30, 2009, 5:44 PM EDT
SI.com's Jon Heyman tweets that the Tigers offered Edwin Jackson to the Mariners for right-handers Brandon Morrow and Shawn Kelley, yet were turned down. It might well be the end of trade talks between the two teams, since it's hard to imagine Detroit taking much less for their 26-year-old right-hander. Jackson faded in a big…
Chip Caray fisted out of TBS booth
Nov 30, 2009, 4:50 PM EDT
In a rather surprising development, TBS has opted to part ways with lead baseball voice Chip Caray, even though he had time remaining on his contract. Caray received a great deal of criticism for his work in October. Most notable was his botched call in AL Central tiebreaker game between the Twins and Tigers, where…
Marlins GM: Johnson won't be traded this winter
Nov 30, 2009, 12:11 AM EDT
Marlins GM Michael Hill told 790 The Ticket's Hot Stove Show that there was no chance Josh Johnson would be traded this winter. "Yes, I can say with certainty, yes," Hill said when asked if Johnson would remain with the team into next season. Johnson trade speculation started nine days ago, when he and the…
Nov. 28, 2007: Rays get Garza, Bartlett from Twins for Young
Nov 28, 2009, 8:22 PM EDT
The reaction was largely positive at the time. Positive from Twins fans, that is. The Rays didn't even have fans yet. On this day two years ago, the Twins acquired Delmon Young, Brendan Harris and Jason Pridie from the Rays for Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett and Eduardo Morlan. It was the first big move for…
Halladay ready and willing to don pinstripes
Nov 27, 2009, 8:46 PM EDT
A major league executive told the Toronto Sun's Bob Elliott that he knows Roy Halladay has informed the Jays he'd approve a trade to the Yankees. The executive didn't have any additional info to share. It's widely been assumed that Halladay would happily waive his no-trade clause to pitch in New York or Boston. He'd…
Gone and mostly forgotten: Beck, McLemore passed over on HOF ballot
Nov 27, 2009, 5:25 PM EDT
OK, so I'm probably pretty unique in this regard, but one of my favorite things to do upon the annual release of the Hall of Fame ballot is to check who didn't make the cut. Fortunately, this has become a lot easier with Baseball-Reference's final year pages New qualifiers for this year's ballot last played…
Quality shortstop play won't make Encarnacion tolerable
Nov 27, 2009, 3:51 PM EDT
Not to pick on MLB.com's Jordan Bastian, who is hardly the only one saying it, but included in his writeup of the Jays' Alex Gonzalez signing is the following note: "Strong "D" at the position will be important in helping make up for having Edwin Encarnacion in place as the starting third baseman." In fact,…
Alomar, Larkin highlight new Hall of Fame ballot
Nov 27, 2009, 3:02 PM EDT
Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin, Edgar Martinez and Fred McGriff highlight the list of 15 newcomers on the Hall of Fame ballot released on Friday. Also on the ballot for the first, and likely last, time are Kevin Appier, Ellis Burks, Andres Galarraga, Pat Hentgen, Mike Jackson, Eric Karros, Ray Lankford, Shane Reynolds, David Segui, Robin…
Jays offense to suffer in wake of Gonzalez signing
Nov 26, 2009, 2:14 PM EDT
The Blue Jays are being aggressive early in their bid to hold on to fourth place in the AL East. One day after re-signing backup John McDonald for $3 milion over two years, GM Alex Anthopoulos nabbed Alex Gonzalez to start at shortstop, guaranteeing him $2.75 million. It's a very, very good start for my…
Blue Jays overcommit to light-hitting McDonald
Nov 25, 2009, 7:50 PM EDT
Alex Anthopoulos is a historically young general manager at 32, but his first significant move as the Jays' decision-maker was certainly rooted in traditional, old-school thinking. On Wednesday, the Blue Jays agreed to terms with veteran infielder John McDonald on a two-year, $3 million deal. It was known that the move was coming, but indications…
Moyer hospitalized for second time since surgery
Nov 25, 2009, 7:29 PM EDT
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Jamie Moyer has been hospitalized because of recurring symptoms from September groin surgery, but lacked any information about his condition. Moyer was originally hospitalized in October because of a blood infection. The 46-year-old left-hander underwent surgery to repair three torn tendons in groin area at the end of September.
Pouliot's thoughts on Wednesday's moves: Andruw, Liz, Hulett
Nov 25, 2009, 5:47 PM EDT
*White Sox sign outfielder Andruw Jones, who had been with the Rangers, on a one-year, $500,000 contract. Surprisingly, the deal includes just $1 million in incentives. Jones must have looked at what happened to guys like Jim Edmonds, Geoff Jenkins and Shannon Stewart last season and decided that taking an extremely modest deal was better…
Add Duchscherer to the list of potential BoSox
Nov 25, 2009, 4:45 PM EDT
Other teams are interested in players too, we assume, but all indications are that it's a lot more fun to report what the Red Sox and Yankees are doing. FOXSports.com stated Wednesday that the Red Sox are displaying interest in free agent Justin Duchscherer, who missed the first three-quarters of last season while recovering from…
Red Sox should forgo Halladay for Holliday
Nov 25, 2009, 4:28 PM EDT
After all, it's only money. The addition of Roy Halladay to Boston's already fine rotation would certainly provide a boost. Halladay is clearly one of the top five pitchers in baseball, and he's about as much of a Yankee killer as anyone in the league, having gone 18-6 with a 2.84 ERA and seven complete…
Angels baseball now 64 percent less annoying
Nov 25, 2009, 4:07 PM EDT
Sure, they still have the Rally Monkey and Thunderstix, but the Angels got rid of their TV duo of Steve Physioc and Rex Hudler on Tuesday, turning chores over to play-by-play man Rory Markas and color commentator Mark Gubicza. I'm not going to pretend to know much about Markas, who had been paired with Gubicza…
Albatross Guillen doesn't expect to be back with Royals
Nov 24, 2009, 9:12 PM EDT
Upon hearing a hint of a rumor that he could be dealt to the Mets, Jose Guillen told Dominican paper Diairo Libre that he was open to waiving his partial no-trade clause to play for the club and that he doesn't expect to be back with the Royals next year. According to the
Stat of the day: AFL fastball velocities
Nov 24, 2009, 5:51 PM EDT
Very cool stuff from Baseball America, which has gathered Pitch F/X data from the recently completed AFL season. Here were the league's 10 hardest throwers, as ranked by their average fastball velocity (for a complete listing, check out their blog. 1. Stephen Strasburg (Nationals) – 96.8 2. Sergio Santos (White Sox) – 96.0 3. Tanner…
Phillies decline to upgrade, sign Castro for bench
Nov 24, 2009, 5:03 PM EDT
Because the market for shortstops long past their primes was suddenly short an Omar Vizquel, the Phillies simply didn't dare wait any longer. On just the fifth day of free agency, they agreed to terms with 37-year-old Juan Castro. Sadly enough, Castro is coming off one of his better offensive seasons, as he hit .277/.311/.339…
If Mariners are done with Lopez, suitors should be plentiful
Nov 24, 2009, 4:29 PM EDT
It's been suspected by some, but never phrased so strongly. Seattle Times writer Geoff Baker — our most trusted Mariners news source — wrote Tuesday that he "seriously doubts" second baseman Jose Lopez will still be a Mariner by the start of spring training. No legitimate Lopez rumors have sprung up yet, with the little…
Braves, Royals at it again: sign same player
Nov 24, 2009, 4:08 PM EDT
Last year at around this time, the Braves and Royals engaged in a waiver war over right-hander Jairo Cuevas. The Royals, guided by former Atlanta assistant GM Dayton Moore, claimed him from the Braves on Oct. 24, the Braves reclaimed him on Nov. 27 and the Royals reclaimed him on Dec. 10. The Royals ended…
Dodgers uninterested in trading Billingsley for Halladay?
Nov 23, 2009, 6:31 PM EDT
While Dodgers GM Ned Colletti was unwilling to mention anyone by name, he did attempt to defuse some of the Roy Halladay rumors in a conversation with the L.A. Times' Dylan Hernandez on Monday: "We would like to improve our pitching, especially starting pitching. I don't believe we can subtract from it in order to…
Capuano to give it another try with Milwaukee
Nov 23, 2009, 5:46 PM EDT
Former 18-game winner Chris Capuano will attempt another comeback with the Brewers after agreeing to a minor league deal on Monday. Capuano, who went 18-12 with a 3.99 ERA in 2005 and was an All-Star in 2006, hasn't pitched in the majors since 2007. He underwent surgery on his non-throwing shoulder after that season and…
Facing uncertain future, Dye open to move to first base
Nov 23, 2009, 4:35 PM EDT
We still have so much to learn about defense, but one thing just about everybody can agree on now is that free agent Jermaine Dye isn't any good in right field at this stage of his career. Given the nature of the concepts used to measure defense and the smaller sample sizes being dealt with,…
Future Hall of Famer Vizquel joins White Sox
Nov 23, 2009, 3:40 PM EDT
Satisfied with his role but not with the idea of spending another year in Texas, Omar Vizquel became the first major league free agent to sign with a different team Monday, joining the White Sox on a one-year, $1.375 million contract. In Chicago, Vizquel will be counted on to play behind youngsters Alexei Ramirez and…

Jake Gyllenhaal up to the challenge of double role in 'Enemy'
Maybe this explains why he comes down with a severe case of the heebie jeebies upon discovering his exact physical double in the form of a bit player in a minor movie. At least something is happening in Adam's life. The actor's name is Anthony Clair, he lives in town, and he's a much more aggressive guy than Adam. They both have beards, and they are both played by Jake Gyllenhaal.
"Enemy" gives Gyllenhaal a dramatic workout, and he is up to the challenge. As the guy who played "Donnie Darko," Gyllenhaal has experience operating in parallel lives, and he proves deft at navigating this film's grim, enigmatic strategy.
Based on the Jose Saramago novel "The Double," adapted by Javier Gullon, "Enemy" aims for the paranoid, closed-system intensity of vintage Roman Polanski. Toronto's skies have a tarnished-gold sickliness, and the brutalist design of the buildings at Adam's college fit the vague sense of a dystopian world in which the apocalypse seems to have passed by without anybody noticing.
We infer there's something out of whack here even before we happen to notice a giant spider looming over the city—surely that's a vision from a character's nightmare, but whose?
Director Denis Villeneuve made the preposterously-plotted "Incendies" and the evocative but overwrought "Prisoners" (where Gyllenhaal gave a busy performance), and he's scaled down his scope considerably here. To good effect.
From its mysterious opening scene at some sort of high-class sex club (why is that naked lady squashing a tarantula?), "Enemy" creates a creepy-crawly sense of dread. Sunlight looks poisoned, and even the pregnancy of Anthony's wife Helen (Sarah Gadon) feels slightly sinister.
At a certain point Villeneuve needs to deliver on all this well-managed build-up, and "Enemy" admittedly stumbles in that department — the meeting of Adam and Anthony is somehow easier than it should be, and plot twists come according to formula.
However, its abrupt final sequence should have cult-movie mavens chattering online for some time to come. The ending's sheer brazenness is a refreshing thumb in the eye to a film world in which just about everything needs to be explained.
"Enemy" (three stars)
A tricky little cult-film-in-the-making about a professor who discovers his exact double in the form of an obscure movie actor—both roles played by Jake Gyllenhaal. Director Denis Villeneuve gets a tense, paranoid atmosphere going, and even if the movie doesn't sustain its mystery, it does have a humdinger of an ending.
Rating: R, for nudity, language, subject matter
Opening: Friday at Sundance Cinemas Seattle.

Orchids I saved! Does this atone for my sins? Look friends:-)
Yes, friends!
Would you believe they were still selling them for 12.95 when I saw them today, so I mustered enough courage to ask for a discount and they only offered them to me for 9.99.
I again asked them for more discount, and gave them a price of 2.50 pointing out all the dead roots and telling them they wouldn't make it if they sat there for yet another day. They listened!
So here you go, step by step of what I did and I pray these poor little things make it. I figured it was time for me to atone for my sins, since I once again bought more plants on the weekend. Toni, it's all your fault.lol
This is what they are
Look at the sick dried out roots. And the salt damage!
So I soaked them in very warm water and yes, saw some live roots, although not much.
Got my mix ready consisting of fir bark, bark, and hydroton
Cut all the dead roots away
And potted them up
I hope they do ok, what do you think? Will they be ok and have I atoned for my sins?
You and OG are killing me! I totally paid the full price of $12.99 or whatever it was. I figured it was green and alive and it's supposed to smell good so I'm not taking my chances waiting around for the store to kill them. Laugh.
Congrats on all your new babies!
I've no doubt you'll make them bloom.
If they do I hope you remember which varieties you have so we'll know what to buy! :)
Wow, Mike... why don't they sell orchids like this in my area? Now, that's a price I might be able to afford, and though it takes patience and a little work to rescue a clearance item like that, the end results can be so worth the effort! Great rescue, great price haggling, and I sure wish they'd sell orchids like that around here!
I'm sure the orchid world has different products... actually Physan comes to mind, though I'm not sure that's the right product for the application... but in the bulb world, we use a product called Captan by Bonide when we do any work cutting away root area that might rot, and that sort of thing. It's an anti-fungal that helps eliminate problems from starting once you cut away dead or rotting roots, rotting bulb flesh, or there are any cuts or open wounds on the bulb. It's a powder, and I use a small kid's paintbrush to apply a little where needed. In case you don't keep a chemical anti-fungal around, cinnamon works as a natural anti-fungal and can be used in the same way.
However, I have every confidence that if anyone can save those plants, you can! As you know, I'm not a believer in green thumbs... I know that the key is applied knowledge. But in your case, I'd say you have that "green thumb"! :-)
Excellent project, Mike! I wish you the best of luck with your new plants, hoping they decide to grow new roots and are eventually brought to flower!
Mike...my fault? lol. It's your fault I sinned last weekend.
I never saw Orchids in plastic bags before..Bulbs and corms, yes, but not Orchids.
Where do you find rarieties and why are they not sold in IL?
Mike, when did you purchase Orchids in bags, and how long did it take before you saw green?
Fantastic..All for 2.50! How could you go wrong? Even if they failed, which they didn't, you'd only be out a few dollars.
Mike, what are the 4" or so black sticks?
Is one Hydroton brand better than another? Or does it not matter?
I was going to buy a bag on Amazon, but didn't know which to choose..planned on potting a couple succulents in these balls, as an experiment.
Will the flowers be fragrant? I don't know much about Orchids..which are fragrant, etc. I'd like to get one w/scented blooms..in the future.
Anyway, it's my fault...I am to blame for everything. lol.
Beautiful growing, Mike... Toni
Yes, Toni... I haven't done anything wrong recently - but I'll remember you already confessed to being the root of all the blame ...
for me, I admit to doing no wrong, cause I'm perfect. :)
and, if you have enough positive affirmation - then ya can do no wrong. ;)
Mike... I think like every other addiction - there's a 8? step program that will help you kick the habit.
1) admit you have a problem. (do you? ... )
2) admit this problem has hurt you, others, or your relationships.
3) apologize to the people you've hurt because of this addiction. (sorry I bought so many plants that I took up your favorite space in the sunniest window, cat....)
4) atone ... (Cat - not only will I give away that plant that's in your favorite space... I'll plant some cat grass in a few other spots around the house so you have plenty to nibble without me giving you dirty stares when you do it.)
5) stop the addictive behavior (ie - no more shopping for your 'drug', even when your 'drug' seems like a totally great deal... )
6) give away your 'addictive substance' ... anyone want any newly planted orchids? :)
7) I'm winging this because I've never been an addict... and I don't have a problem... is an excuse - you can't be an addict in one breath, and fine in another. (see rule #1)
8) Realize you won't be cured overnight, you will always be an addict.
Mikey, I'm just trying to help. :D
OMG Mike.. I saw your African gardenia pics in the other forum and now I want one. Lol. Some ppl say it smells funny, what's the scent like for you?
My first attempt at growing orchid was a failure. I want to try it again next year. What's the benefit of hydroton?
Oh my goodness! Hello everyone!
So sorry I was delayed:-(. It's been a rough week and thank goodness for you all here and my plants, or I would of slitted my throat. Life stinks at times, but then there is always good things to think of once you get through all the fog and see clrearly again:-0)
Kemistry: That is the one scent that I could never explain! There is nothing quite like it and that is why I bought two. I actually use to get them at Logee's and would loose them constantly to disease. But I managed to talk my this nursery into selling unusual stuff and he has managed to pull it off. He is expanding to better things that can only be baought there and his way of thanking me was to give me them:-)
If you should ever want one, let me know and I can either get you one or start cuttings. They are sooo easy to root!
Rosey, like giving up cigarrettes for some people, those methods won't work for me..lol
The only thing that will stop me from wanting to aquire any more is to feel overwhelmed with bugs, and thank goodness I think I know how to avoid them babies! Disease, another issue. I know not to get too much so that there is no room for them to breathe, let alone get light.lol
I will always have a soft spot for weak and abused plants.
Toni, YES, your fault. Remember when we talked and you said you sinned again? Well, I ran to Lowes that night and wondered if I might find something out of the ordinary, and I did. In fact, I blame Annie too..lol
It was her that found some just like mine and encouraged me to get a good deal like she had. I even showed the store her post on getting the same plants for 2:50 and it worked.lol
The blad stick I break into very small pieces. It's tree fern and the Hydroton is used for air space. It's great stuff.
I can water my orchids all I want without fear of rot.
Heck, I'll bet if you started a thread on your own about the new bunch of plants or sins that you have done, everyone will balme you too..lololol
Hoping everyone is safe and happy tonight!
Now Jodik! I am soooooooooooooooooo happy to see you stopped by. I thank you so much for your vote of confidence and your kind words as well as everyone ele's!
You know, once the spring comes, I can pull a couple of the same orchids I have toether and send you one or two. I have doubles and triples of many to cover myself in case I lost any. Well, apparently, it seems that I have mamaged to keep teh thriving and I had no idea I could. Now many are blooming with surprises. I will post pics when they do and I hope everyone wants to see them:-)
Thank you for the idea on anti-fungal stuff. I took tehm back out and use what you told me to use. They seem to be doing VERY good and I appreciate that. Now, if we could find you a solution to those dang flies that eat your bulbs. I feel so bad for you loosing that Minerva:-(
Robert..Trust me, you kill me too every time I see any of your plants! Anytime I see one you have that I do not, well, guess what I do? lol
Have you ever tried the 'Orchids' called ' Cybidiums?...?/
Now, that is my new SIN if it may be. I just spent almost 15o dollars of which I did not have on them. What's wrong with that picture?lol
You impress me buddy with all your plants!
Thanks too for your vote of confidence. Sometimes I feel it's just all do to luck, until I read what you all have to say:-)
OOOOHHHH, Olympia, or should I say mt dear Annie, where have you been? lol
Yup, I think I can do this! So far they seem very happy in very warm and humid conditions! It's funny, these things grow thousands of feet high on the side of mountains in Hawaii where it can get very chilly, down into teh 40's and very warm by day and they THRIVE! These are a hardy species of orchids for sure.
Kemistry, it would be no issue at all to start cuttings for you while at the same time I do for Annie! The last time I tried, poor Annies got ruined by some animal. Next time, I shall have to protect them!
Mike, I thought I was safe from those nasty NBF bugs by keeping most everything indoors... but they managed to find a way in... either piggybacking on another bulb, or through a window, or somehow... I'm not really sure. But I just finished applying a good systemic to everything growing inside, as well as all the items that go out every year. I should be covered now.
You're so generous, I can't even begin to thank you proper for your gift. I'd be including smiley faces everywhere, but my keyboard is dying a slow death, and some keys aren't working!
I've been debating whether or not to disturb my Den and the one other orchid I have to re-pot them... dare I do it now, or do I wait, and hope they make it to spring? I've got them in grittier renditions of the gritty mix, but I can see the fir bark breaking down around the Den. I do have hydroton, but not tree fern... I wonder if I could substitute fir bark for tree fern, and just do it now? Hmmm... I also have long strand moss that could be cut up, too... and coarse perlite.
I need to email you, anyway... I'll think more on the re-potting... I want to get it over with, but I don't want to harm the orchids.
Have a nice day, everyone!

Now, with global economic weakness dimming prospects for every corner of electronics, it may be time for a pause in equipment stocks as Wall Street cuts its outlook.
A lot will depend on what we hear in the next few weeks from the biggest chip makers, Intel INTC -1.4710585225455708% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD30.81 -0.46 -1.4710585225455708% /Date(1427922000997-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 31078499 AFTER HOURS USD30.82 0.0100000000000016 0.03245699448231094% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 453587 P/E Ratio 12.8375 Market Cap 148094722167.969 Dividend Yield 3.11587147030185% Rev. per Employee 523618 More quote details and news » (INTC), Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSM -1.0647359454855196% Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

Make no mistake, however: Intel and Samsung and TSM are struggling just to sustain Moore's Law, the decades-old rule that says every chip gets twice as dense in the number of transistors it contains every two years.
That is an engineering feat that gets more challenging as each chip maker crosses another threshold in physics, approaching the quantum level of materials science. The net result is any bad news for equipment spending now should yield to much brighter times come next year.
The immediate worry is the personal computer, which, at 350 million units this year, is a vast source of wealth for Intel, but also for Samsung and Taiwan Semi, given all the additional chips that go into PCs.
Sales of personal computers fell 8% or so in the third quarter, according to reports from Gartner and IDC, more severe than Wall Street's estimates. That has caused Intel to concede it can't spend quite as wildly as it would like.
HAVING STARTED THE YEAR with a prediction for $12.5 billion in capital spending, a 16% increase over 2011, Intel cut that figure by $400 million last month after lowering its revenue outlook because of "weaker than expected demand in a challenging macroeconomic environment."
The good news for Applied and the rest is that spending in general must increase as the challenges for Intel and others become more death-defying. All three major chip producers are set to spend substantially more this year on capital investments. Indeed, these three companies are in the midst of an epochal battle.
As chip and chip-equipment analysts at Bernstein wrote in a recent research note, the "significant increases" in complexity and expense for the latest generation of chips are "driving substantially higher capital intensity in the industry," something that bodes well for the arms merchants.
Intel is producing chips at feature sizes that no other company can match, for now, measuring 22 billionths of a meter. It is also using a special "three-dimensional" transistor, the only company to do so, which cuts the power consumption of its circuitry.
As Linley Gwennap, principal chip analyst for the Linley Group, explains, Intel's breakthroughs will allow its chip for smartphones, something called "Merrifield," to "have significant performance advantages" over Samsung's own processors, and pretty much every other chip maker from Qualcomm QCOM 0.12979521199884628% Qualcomm Inc.

That is a red flag to Samsung and Taiwan Semi, which can't afford to stop spending lest they fall behind Intel. Taiwan Semi, which last year spent $7.3 billion on capital investments, plans to boost that by the same amount as Intel this year, to a range of $8 billion to $8.5 billon.
At least, that was the word as of late July. Taiwan Semi's third-quarter call comes on Oct. 25, so we'll know more then whether the company intends to stand pat.

Samsung also manufactures, for a fee, Apple's own chip designs.
Samsung said as recently as July it is spending 15 trillion Korean won (roughly $13.5 billion), the vast majority of its capital spending, on its semiconductor business. That's up 15%, from $11.7 billion in 2011.
Samsung's preliminary third-quarter report a week ago was in line with analysts' estimates, but we won't know for sure what its current spending plan is until full results are reported on Oct. 26.
For the first time ever this year, notes Mark Newman of Bernstein, Samsung is spending more money on microprocessors, the brains of every computer, than it is on commodity memory chips, such as DRAM. That's a sign Samsung is increasingly competing with Intel in the latter's bailiwick.
WHERE DOES ALL THAT LEAVE the equipment companies? There is a wide disparity in valuation at the moment. Some of the middleweights, if you will, in chip equipment have seen contractions in their valuation multiples.

While each may suffer some revision to estimates, their stocks are the least demanding.
ASML Holding, on the other hand, one of the largest outfits at $22 billion in market capitalization, has seen its P/E ratio on next year's profit fly to 12.7 times, one of the highest in the group, and up from 9.8 times a year ago.
ASML is currently perceived as being in the catbird seat. It makes tools for the lithographic process that define the feature sizes Intel and the rest can produce. As Intel moves to 14-nanometer chips and Samsung and Taiwan Semi try to catch up in coming years, ASML's tools will be crucial.
Indeed, in July, the company received a $4.1 billion investment from Intel, $1 billion of which went directly into ASML's research and development budget. That said, given the stock's multiple expansion, ASML may be one to buy on pullbacks.
Applied Materials, long the industry heavyweight, trades for 14.3 times next year's earnings, higher than the year-ago multiple of 10.4 times. As we progress through Intel's and TSM's reports, any signs of weakness around that capital spending could bring estimates lower for Applied. Like ASML, Applied's shares will be a lot tastier if some more bad news is baked in.
If you can get past the coming uncertainty in chip spending, this very intense battle for the future of chips bodes very well for the arms merchants.

What does this remind you of?
On a recent Treasure Shopping stop, I came across this guy! I looked, laughed, and started to move on. Then I stopped and thought "oh, my gosh!" Walked backed, saw a price of $3.99 and thought "what the heck, I have to buy him". But better still, when I got to the counter and the lady was ringing up my purchases, she picked him up and said "oh, you found one of our FREE items." I said "Free items, I didn't know there were any." She told me they had marked over 200 items as free the day before Thanksgivng! Now how cool is that? Are you ready to see?
Pretty cute? Pretty funny? Oh, you're not that impressed, huh? Well, just look at why I had to buy him? Remember these?
The placemats were a gift from Miss Karen that I had shown you earlier. Just look what I did with them:
And here's one of those now famous "Candy" shots:
Are you just a little bit impressed now? No talent, just sheer luck and a desire for having a little Christmas fun to share with all of you. ;o)
BIG SMILE here! Using those clear plates was ingenious, luvs!...& who could walk away from that PERFECT sheep pc! FREE besides! Love the R&B combo here with those cute plates you've made your own! Glad you weren't too Baaaashful to share this t'scape! Still SMILING! Jeanne S.
That is so cute, I actually thought you had sheep plates, til I realized they were glass plates with the cute placemats showing thru. The FREE guy in the centerpiece is perfect! Who'd have thought sheep could make such a cute table!
OHMYGOSH...I am cracking up that you found a sheep to match those placemats! That is just too funny! And FREE?
Then you go and do one of the most adorable tables ever!!
A Baaa Humbug table HAS to be one-of-a-kind. Its going in the inspiration album for sure, this is just unforgettable.
And don't try to pull that "no talent card" with us. LOL.
We know better! By the way, since you did a CandyShot, were you swinging from the chandelier, or dancing on the bar like Punk? As short as you are, I'm almost afraid to ask WHAT you did! LOL.
Thanks for sending me to bed with a big smile, after the rough day here I sure needed it as you know.
big ol' hug,
LOL, I'm so glad you all enjoyed this, my whole goal was to make you all smile.
OA, I hadn't even realized that I had used a "pun" when I wrote "sheer" luck until you pointed it out! I see Jeanne knew her's was deliberate with the "baaaashful" comment. ;o) Mine should have been "shear" if I'd of thought of it. LOL
Who would have thought some sheep could make such a fun "Christmas" table? When Karen had sent the placemats, I kept thinking "now what could I use for a centerpiece?"
Guess the tablescaping angels were looking out for me, huh? LOL
Karen, I hoped you would get a kick out of this! See how inspiring you are? You take "enabling" to a whole new level. ;o) The "Candy shot"? Luckily for me, I already had the step stool in the kitchen so nothing dramatic/dangerous was required. ;o)
Now where do I store this guy??????
OK. I hate to put the pressure on, but you just have to make him a little Santa hat. You can make it with some red material and cotton balls and a glue gun. It has to be long so that it hangs down past his ear. Oh, I guess you'll need a little sprig of holly too.
Now, get crackin'.
How funny, but I agree with OA. A santa hat is in order. Pics before Christmas???? You know..... he would be good in a daylight savings time tablescape. Clocks and the "counting sheep " thing???
You gals are so creative and funny with all your little sheep related puns! LOL
Punk, never heard of a "cotton cow" before. How did that name come about? Is there a story?
Jeanne, luckily we don't care for lamb chops--and yes, I sure do remember Shari Lewis & Lambchop.
A santa hat would have been cute--didn't even cross my mind, OA. Maybe I'll do one next year--but moving on to other things now.
Nana, I didn't want to cover up the design on the placemats and luckily I had some clear plates that I had bought to use on my three tiered stand.
Nope, Kathleen, I didn't get fleeced--can't beat Free! LOL
Ladypat and Jeanne, thanks for the ideas for other uses for him--that way I won't mind him taking up my limited storage space so much!
Frou, you are right, I do need to buy Lotto tickets but I never even think about them.
Jaybird, I'm so glad you got a good laugh, that was my main objective in doing this table.

Pakistan's epidemiological profile will undergo a transition as the burden of non-communicable diseases rises and communicable diseases decline. However, despite the clear need for medical care, poor medical infrastructure, low per capita pharmaceutical spending and high levels of counterfeit medicines prevent the market from realising its full potential.

so i have these little white dots floating in my stone-vertical epic 05 clone. i want to think it is something with the yeast because it is a very yeasty belgium style beer, but im not sure. i dont have a camera so i cant take a picture of it but all it is, is little white dots all through my beer. do i have anything to worry about.
My guess is it's just yeast. No worries.
Yeah, we call then "Yeast rafts" what they are are little colonies of yeast that get buoyed up from the trub at the bottom of the fermenter or secondary by co2 gass rising to the surface...then they sit their and some start fizzing a little...
It's common, actually!
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
thanks. glad i dont have anything to worry about.
I recently had two flies get in the cooled wort. Then, I had little floaties like you mention in the fermenter. So, I freaked, thinking "INFECTION"!
Batch is kegged now and tastes fine.
"Don't worry, have a homebrew."
I have the same thing on a raspberry wit. Smells fine.

Ancient primate fossil unearthed
Researchers working in Uganda say they have unearthed the well-preserved fossil skull of an ancient primate.
The 20 million-year-old specimen comes from the site of an extinct volcano in Uganda's north-east Karamoja region.
The scientists say preliminary analysis showed the tree-climbing herbivore was roughly 10 years old when it died.
The skull is about the same size as that of a chimp, but its brain was smaller....

Have You Pretended To Like Something To Impress Your Significant Other?
Often when we get into a new relationship, we do or say anything to impress the other person. But sometimes, it can backfire.
Often when we get into a new relationship, we do or say anything to impress the other person. But sometimes, it can backfire.
There's pink – the color of Valentine's Day cards and warm winter sunsets over downtown L.A. And then, of course, there's Pink – a legendary performer and a singer who never fails to prove she's among the hottest on the planet.
We're bringing all three of these things together, and wrapping them up in a neat little Valentine's Day bow. Enter below to win a trip to L.A. to see Pink live in concert, two tickets to the show, and as a bonus, $500 to blow any way you want.
For years I've felt that most of us have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. I love how Bronner's in Frankenmuth boasts that it's a CHRISTmas wonderland, not a holiday hangout! There are about 800 surveys out there involving Christmas shopping, and we've come up with five things that keep coming up.
Sweetest Day is tomorrow, October 20th. Despite popular perception, Sweetest Day is not the autumnal version of Valentine's Day. Sweetest Day originated in the early 1920's.
While the movie adaptation of 'Girls Like Us' is in development, Taylor Swift says she is still not confirmed to play Joni Mitchell in the forthcoming film.
In a new survey by the dating website Zoosk.com two-percent of people say the single most romantic gesture their significant other can do for them is taking out the garbage without being asked.
The top two answers aren't chores like that but they aren't exactly spectacular or innovative either. 41% say that the most romantic thing someone can do is give them a hug and a kiss. 39% say a candlelit dinner.
We received an email from a listener who is planning her wedding but her family doesn't approve of her fiancee and they don't want her getting married. She's debating if she should even invite her family since they don't like the guy. Should invite them anyway?
Just five bucks gets you a ride, a bottle of water, a five dollar-off coupon for the 'morning after' pill and a complimentary high-five. Meet the University of Michigan Senior Kellyann Wargo, who just launched a Walk of Shame Shuttle to ferry the lovesick and hungover home on Valentine's Day.
Basically Kellyanne is a college student in Ann Arbor. She's become a bit of a local celebrity with her Walk Of Shame Shuttle. Her motto '"Faster than a taxi because I speed (and I don't judge).'
He put a ring on it! Justin Bieber gifted his lady love, Selena Gomez, with a diamond ring for Valentine's Day. So are the duo engaged?
77% of men purchase this on Valentine's Day. What?
Read more to find out what the answer is. Use it to collect Cars 108 Passenger Rewards.
As far back as I can remember, I have always hated Valentine's Day. I have either been single or gotten dumped on Cupid's stupid holiday, so it's understandable that I have come to find February 14th as just another day.
After being with my wife for seven years, I broke down last year and bought her a diamond necklace. Today when we had our morning chat as she drove to work, she reminded me of the shiny rock I got her last year. She then asked what I was planning for her this year. I told her I would write her another poem like the one I read to her on the air for our most recent anniversary.
It's a day of love and romance. Valentine's Day is today, but it really should not be considered by a man when he is thinking about "popping the question". There are a lot of things to think about before you ask her to marry you on Valentines Day.
For a grin, here are 10 reasons why you shouldn't 'pop the question' today:

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Climatologist warns municipal planners to factor in climate change
Building codes are 'not keeping up with the science'
A warming climate has made past long-term weather patterns unreliable in planning for the future, says Environment Canada climatologist David Phillips.
Speaking to a provincial disaster management conference in Winnipeg, Phillips said municipal planners should now consider climate change when approving new building designs or even where to locate water treatment plants and transmission lines.
"The cost of considering climate change in your initial plans is maybe zero to five per cent more. And it's a lot less expensive than retrofitting after the fact," Phillips said.
With warmer temperatures come more frequent episodes of severe weather, including destructive rains and winds.
"The future is not going to look like the past," Phillips told the conference, which attracted more than 450 government officials, first responders and emergency measures experts when it opened on Wednesday but had thinned out somewhat by this morning because of the impending snowstorm.
Phillips said governments will have to enhance building codes to adapt to a warmer future with more extreme weather events.
He said building codes generally are "not keeping up with the science of climate change and the science of building materials, the building sciences."
He said some communities are also beginning to integrate climate change considerations into public health and disaster risk planning.
Meanwhile, Phillips said that because of the timing of the looming storm, Winnipeggers can expect this weekend's snow to last until March.

Save all of your receipts. You cannot claim an expense that you cannot prove you spent money on. Save every receipt for fuel or repairs that you want to claim. You also need to document owning your vehicle and its specific use. Vehicle expenses that the IRS allows you to deduct include depreciation, lease payments, registration fees, licenses, gas, insurance, repairs, oil, garage rent, tires, tolls and parking fees.
How to Claim Gas & Car Repairs on Taxes
You may be able to claim vehicle-related expenses such as gasoline purchases and car repairs on your tax return, but you need to follow certain guidelines to do so. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reminds consumers who want to deduct vehicle-related expenses that they must familiarize themselves with the tax laws first. Individuals who want to deduct vehicle expenses on their taxes need to qualify for the deductions and possess proper documentation.
Things You'll Need
- Receipts for gas and repairs
- IRS Form 2106
- IRS Form 1040
- Proof of ownership and vehicle use
Use your car for business purposes. According to the IRS, acceptable business purposes include "traveling from one work location to another within the taxpayer's tax home area," traveling to visit customers, "attending a business meeting away from the regular workplace" and "getting from home to a temporary work place when the taxpayer has one or more regular places of work."
Determine what percentage of time you use your vehicle for business. You can only claim deductions on the business usage. For example, if your expenses on your car were $4,000, and you figure that you use your car for business 75 percent of the time, then you can deduct $3,000 of your car's expenses on your taxes.
If you are an employee, complete tax form 2106 or 2106-EZ and itemize your deductions on your Form 1040 to claim vehicle tax deductions when filing your taxes. You cannot deduct any expenses which you were reimbursed by your employer. If you are a sole-proprietor or indedendent contractor, complete IRS Schedule C to claim automobile deductions.
