Fisher leaves Jazz to focus on daughter's cancer treatment

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz agreed to release guard Derek Fisher from his contract Monday so he can concentrate on finding the best care for his 11-month-old daughter, who has cancer in her left eye.

Fisher said he wants to live in one of the six or seven cities being considered for Tatum's care.

He didn't rule out playing for another NBA team but emphasized that his daughter's health is his No. 1 priority.

"Life for me outweighs the game of basketball," Fisher told reporters after flying from New York to meet with Jazz owner Larry H. Miller and other team executives.

"When it comes to decisions related to them," he said of his family, "I do what's best."

The Jazz acquired Fisher a year ago in a trade with the Golden State Warriors. During eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, he was part of three NBA championships -- experience that Utah's young team craved.

In May, his daughter was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a cancerous tumor in her left eye. The danger is that it could spread to her brain or the rest of her body.

Fisher at times fought exhaustion trying to balance basketball and his daughter's welfare. He spent a day at a New York hospital in May, then flew to Utah for a Western Conference semifinal game against Golden State.

Only 350 cases of retinoblastoma are diagnosed each year in North America, according to Dr. A. Linn Murphree, director of the retinoblastoma program at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, who is not involved in the Fisher case.

In most cases, patients lose the eye rather than undergo chemotherapy, but there are exceptions.

After the news conference, Fisher and wife Candace were flying to New York for another medical appointment Tuesday.

"Outwardly she's doing great. Her spirits are good," Fisher said of Tatum.

He said his desire to leave Utah does not mean that medical care here is weak. Rather, Fisher said he and his wife need a place that has the "right combination" of specialists.

He declined to identify the cities under consideration. Many NBA players work apart from their families, but it's not an option for him. He and Candace have four children.

"For me and my family, we just don't believe in it. ... I don't think I could be the player I could be if I had to carry that load," Fisher said.

Wiping away tears, Miller said Fisher "leaves a legacy" of leadership and toughness for Utah's young players.

"He's focused on the most important thing," the owner said of Fisher's request to leave the Jazz.

Fisher doesn't want to retire but acknowledged it's a possibility.

"I'll be 33 in August. I'm 6-1. I averaged 10 points this year," he said. "I don't know how many people feel strongly about what I do."

iPhone 零件只值 US$200?

計埋 Apple R & D 既, Marketing Cost, 人工呀等等.. Apple 今次真係發到豬頭咁啦

Teardown reveals iPhone parts cost two bills (From Engadget)

Unlike video game consoles, phones are typically profitable to manufacture from day one and it turns out that the iPhone is no exception -- far from it, in fact. Teardown specialists at Portelligent claim that the 4GB iPhone runs Apple just $200 worth of components, while the 8GB adds an extra $20, not far off at all from iSuppli's slightly higher estimates from January. Granted those tallies don't include the actual cost of assembling the device -- but even so, those numbers are very far cries from the $500 and $600 asking prices at the register, leaving a healthy $299 and $379 respectively (of which an overwhelming majority are $379) for profit and miscellaneous costs. Interestingly, Portelligent's unceremonious destruction of an iPhone in the name of research revealed no further proof that Hon Hai / Foxconn is the ODM responsible for assembling the darned thing.

回答主席問題 普通話不靈光

國家主席胡錦濤訪港首天與年輕人對話時，才大讚香港青年普通話「大有進步」，但昨日離 開香港前一刻，卻在深圳灣口岸旅檢大樓遇上一位普通話不大靈光的年輕入境處職員，因聽 不懂胡主席的提問而險鬧出「大頭佛」，誤把關口流量數字說成僅一千多，胡錦濤頓感錯愕 ，站在一旁的特首曾蔭權馬上用廣東話提示職員更正答案，惟在電視直播的鏡頭下，場面已 尷尬不已。入境處發言人事後回覆傳媒查詢時說，這誤會是因該員工面對胡主席時太過興奮 和緊張所致。

話說胡錦濤完成揭幕儀式後，走到一個出境櫃位與高級入境事務助理員何美欣（圓圖）交談 ，問她是否由昨日開始在深圳灣上班及過關需用時間等資料。當胡主席詢問員工關口每天通 關可應付人流量時，她並不明白問題，胡錦濤馬上重複問道：「我說每天通關能應付多少人 ？」她才懂回答，但就似乎未有做足功課，把流量數字由3.08萬人次說成只有一千多， 「每天呀？每天我想應該有一千多吧！」與正確數字相差30倍，胡錦濤頓時面露錯愕，再 追問：「設計能力是多少？」惟她亦不明白提問，只連聲說：「對不起！」站在女職員身旁 的另一名男入境處職員，未有立即「幫口」解窘。

曾蔭權醒目補鑊
此時，胡錦濤身邊的曾蔭權見勢色不對，急地用廣東話告知她有關胡的問題內容及正確答 案，何美欣才答出正確答案是三萬人。不過，胡錦濤仍有風度的微笑與她握手，才步離櫃台 。

入境處發言人書面回覆解釋，何美欣把胡主席的提問，理解成她本人每日處理的旅客數量， 故回答約一千多。這誤會是因她面對胡主席時太過興奮和緊張所致。
