LOS ANGELES -- Over the weekend, the Clippers showed they could win games without big performances from Eric Gordon.
Monday, they showed it still helps to get them.
Gordon scored a season-high 36 points in a 113-90 home win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, rebounding nicely from a personal three-game skid that coincided oddly with the start of a rare Clippers winning streak.
Gordon added six assists and five steals and was also particularly hot from beyond the arc. His five 3s -- on only seven attempts -- were more than he had made from long range in a game since his rookie season.
But on this night, Gordon's most redeeming quality was, well, his ability to take what his teammates gave him -- in contrast to his occasional disappearing act that kept reappearing in consecutive road games against the 76ers, Pistons and Bulls.
"We are playing more as a team and we are just playing well together right now," Gordon said. "During this past road trip we told each other that we have nothing to lose and that we just need to buckle down and play as a team."
Blake Griffin assisted on five of Gordon's first six made field goals. The other came in transition on a neat pass from Baron Davis.
"I think he was a little bit more aggressive tonight," said Davis, who had a season-high 12 assists and eight points as the Clippers built their first winning streak since February. "But, yeah, it opened up for him. I thought guys set some good screen-and-rolls for him and he just did a great job of reading the defense."
Gordon had 14 points in the first quarter, 18 before he took his first rest early in the second and 31 by the time he sat down with a minute to go in the third quarter and the Clippers up by 17.
He would play five minutes in the final period, adding a 3-pointer (assisted by Ryan Gomes) and a layup (pass from Davis) to finish with 36 points on only 23 shots.
He had averaged just over 15 points and shot 38 percent from the field in his previous three games.
"Tonight was one of those nights where he got going offensively, and once he gets on a roll like that he's tough to guard," Davis said. "He's been doing a great job of sticking with it."
It's not like Gordon hasn't been having a banner year. His 23.4 points-per-game average leads the team and he has, night in and night out, been a great go-to option for a team desperately in need of one.
He just did it again Monday.
"He was attacking the rim, picking his spots," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He had a lot of shots but he shot a very good percentage. He had some layups and things on the break when they double-teamed. We got some 3s going for him.
"Just a solid game."
A solid game was exactly what the Clippers needed in their attempt to reverse course on the Timberwolves. When these teams matched up just over a month ago in Minnesota, the Wolves came out on top by virtue of a 15-footer from Michael Beasley with 2.3 seconds to play.
With back-to-back road wins over Detroit and Chicago now in tow, the Clippers were determined to patch together their first three-game win streak since last season -- and they did so handily, beating the Wolves in every quarter and every facet of the game.
The Clippers shot better, rebounded better, passed the ball better. Griffin, in particular, played solid-and-sometimes-great defense on Minnesota forward Kevin Love, electrified the team with two alley-oop dunks on exceptional passes from Davis and shot 75 percent from the field.
This night was clearly the Clippers'. L.A. is now an almost-respectable 5-6 in December, with the six losses coming by an average of just over six points.
It's obvious this team is not the same one that stunk up the place in October and November with just three wins in 18 tries.
Final notes: Griffin extended his double-double streak to 16 games by grabbing five rebounds in the fourth quarter. He finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. ... Reserve forward Craig Smith missed the game with back spasms and is scheduled to undergo an MRI. He played 21 minutes in the Clippers' road win over the Bulls on Saturday. ... The 68 points the Clippers scored in the first half were a season high for a half.

Girls Most Likely to: Multiply What They've Learned
In 2003 the Highland Children's Education Project started in Ratanakiri, Cambodia, opening the first community schools in six ethnic minority villages. Three of these villages were of the Kreung ethnic group and three were of the Tampuen ethnic group.
Lun Pheat, Nen Thu, Vin Sa Chhnoeum, and Ravae Saphea were four girls among the first group of children who started grade 1 that year. They started their studies learning to read and write in their own language and were gradually introduced to Khmer, the national language. By grade 4, 100% of their studies was in Khmer.

|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Bay leaves
|4 Pound, scrubbed
|Unsalted butter
|1 1⁄2 Tablespoon
|2 Medium, minced
|All purpose flour
|3 Tablespoon
|Clam juice
|8 Ounce (1 Bottle)
|Tomato paste

|To Taste
|To Taste
1. In a saucepan of boiling water, cook the spinach until just wilted, 30 seconds. Drain and spread on a baking sheet to cool, then gently squeeze out the excess water.
2. In a large pot, bring the wine and water to a boil with the bay leaves. Add the mussels, cover and cook over high heat, shaking the pot a few times, until the mussels open, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mussels to a large rimmed baking sheet to cool. Discard any mussels that do not open. Carefully pour the mussel cooking liquid into a glass measuring cup, stopping just before you reach the grit at the bottom; discard the bay leaves. Remove the mussels from their shells.
3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour. Gradually whisk in the reserved mussel cooking liquid and the clam juice. Bring to a boil, whisking. Whisk in the tomato paste and saffron; simmer gently, whisking occasionally, until no floury taste remains, about 10 minutes. Stir in the milk and cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and mussels, season with salt and pepper and serve.

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Learn how to do paper piecing with this quick and easy tutorial. All you'll need is paper, a light box and a pattern. Design your own pattern for a unique project.
Paper Piecing Video:
- Variety of papers (coordinate colors with pattern)
- Sharp scissors or craft knife
- Saral transfer paper or light box
- Pencil
- Glue
- Purchased pattern or design or your own pattern or design
- Review pattern and select colors and papers that are needed for each piece of the pattern.
- If your paper has a right side, you should trace the pattern onto the wrong side of the paper unless you are using the Saral transfer paper method. Saral's transfer color is completely erasable.
- Trace piece patterns onto paper using Saral transfer paper. Use a light color of transfer paper for dark colored papers and a dark color of transfer paper for light colored papers.
- Another option: Place piece patterns onto light box. Place paper on top of the pattern and using the light source trace piece pattern onto paper.
- Cut out all your pieces. Arrange as the pattern.
- Glue pieces onto your background paper.
- You can enlarge or reduced on a copier or computer.
- Using transfer paper takes away the light box step of tracing the paper pieces, but use a transfer paper that is erasable.
- Make your own patterns from clip art, coloring books or greeting cards. Just respect the copyright laws of the designer or publisher.
- Remember that most patterns or designs can be used in the reverse for 2 page spreads or mirror images.
- If just starting, use simple patterns and designs that don't have dozens of small pieces, then challenge yourself with more complex designers.
- Don't cut out all the pattern pieces from the original pattern. Make a copy to cut up and keep the pattern whole so that you won't lose any pieces to your pattern.
- Use a variety of papers: tissue, mesh, plastic, cardstock, fabric, handmade, vellum, textured, patterned, decorative, heavy and lightweight, and scraps!

CONYERS - There are two numbers that stand out when looking at Friday night's matchup between Salem and Monroe Area.The Seminoles (1-2) are averaging 5.7 points per game, while the Purple Hurricanes (0-3) are surrendering 30 points per game. One of those numbers will have to change when Salem pays a visit to Monroe Area at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Purple Pit. "We need to be more consistent on offense. A few big plays would not hurt," Salem coach Chad Estes said. "We knew that there was going to be a learning curve from last year because of losing so many starters, but I can see improvement being made every day." Last week, the Seminoles fell behind 7-0 early against Loganville before Joseph Schneider's 25-yard field with 9:37 left in the game provided the game-winning points in a 10-7 victory. Salem's offense finally produced some points after failing to generate anything in its first two games. "We got down 7-0 right out of the game," Estes said. "But we showed great determination and heart for the remainder of the game. We need to control the ball on offense (Friday) and we can't give up the big play on defense." Last week, Salem's defense turned in a strong effort. After Loganville scored on its first possession, the Seminoles kept the Red Devils off the scoreboard for the rest of the game. Salem held Loganville to 29 total yards and three first downs in the first half. When Estes looks across the field, he'll see a familiar face on the opposite sideline - former boss Matt Fligg - who is now the football coach at Monroe Area. Estes served as the defensive coordinator on Fligg's coaching staff at Rockdale from 1996-2001. During that time, Rockdale had a record of 35-28, won a region championship and made two state playoff appearances. However, Estes doesn't feel that previous coaching relationship will give either coach an advantage in Friday's game. "I don't think so," he said. "We have different teams now and these are different times." In looking at Monroe Area, one thing stands out for Estes - the Purple Hurricanes' speed. "They are a quarterback-driven offense. Their quarterback runs the ball very well," he said. "Defensively, they are going to put pressure on our offense." This game could also serve as a launching pad to get the Seminoles back into the playoff hunt in Region 8-AAAA. With eight weeks left in the season, eight of the 11 squads have at least one or two losses. Salem will reach the halfway point of its season next week at home against Madison County. Friday night's clash will mark the first time that Salem and Monroe Area have played each other in football. Jeff Gillespie can be reached at email@example.com.

Devin McCourty was something of a superhero in the Patriots' secondary last season, as he switched back and forth between cornerback and safety on a near weekly basis. But this offseason the Patriots brought another superhero into the fold. Adrian Wilson is a 12-year veteran in the NFL and an imposing presence out on the football field. His 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame is big, even for a safety, and he dishes out bone-crushing hits that leave a lasting impression. "He's a big, strong guy, and I think physically [he] will be a strong player for us," McCourty said on Tuesday, according to ESPN Boston. Wilson has been showing off that unbelievable strength during the Patriots' offseason voluntary workout program. He has even wowed his new teammates, yielding him the nickname "Incredible Hulk" from fellow defensive back Marquice Cole. But his pure power isn't the only thing McCourty, Cole and the rest of the secondary are learning from Wilson. "Then his knowledge of the game, and how much success he's had in this league, to be able to pass that down to not just the young guys, but even a guy like myself going into my fourth year, I can still learn so much from him, McCourty said. "Having him in the secondary, and on the defense to teach different guys and tell them things he went through, will be key for us." The Patriots are excited to have a teammate with such "superhuman" strength, but his leadership will be just as important to helping the secondary grow and improving the NFL's 29th-ranked pass defense.

The Wild received a little help from their Minnesota sports fraternity brothers. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and catcher Joe Mauer helped recruit Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, who signed 13-year contracts with the Wild on Wednesday, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Gardenhire and Mauer were reportedly asked by the Wild media relations staff to help with a quick recruiting video for Parise, a native of Minnesota who has visited the Twins before and has taken batting practice with the team twice over the years. The pair were more than happy to do so, with Gardenhire waving a $5 bill...

Holiday brings special delivery
Clients of meal program get extra help
The Kitchen, formerly known as Senior Citizens Services of North Texas, is delivering extra meals to hundreds of area homebound seniors and disabled people to help them through the Christmas holiday.
"The Christmas season seems to be especially difficult for many clients we serve, and we decided to go above and beyond for those that receive Meals on Wheels this year," said Jackie Hamm, executive director.
The team at The Kitchen discussed the situation and decided two extra meals, delivered with the regular Wednesday and Thursday deliveries this week, would help their clients have a merrier Christmas.
Normal funding streams do not provide for extra meal delivery, but donations were received specifically for this effort.
"We are determined to continue our tradition of service, and the next two days are part of our service. We are doubling the number of meals to our regular Meals on Wheels clients and, as we do each weekday, we will provide meals for the Red Door, Green Door and for the Kid's Meals program in which we take part," Hamm said.
Last year alone, The Kitchen prepared, packaged and delivered more than 290,000 meals for its programs. The cost for the food to make those meals was over $440,000, and because of funding cuts from several sources, The Kitchen began the fiscal year needing almost a half-million dollars to fill the budget gap.

Fitzgerald investigation:
ABC News' Jason Ryan reports that a 19-page affidavit in the CIA leak case has been filed by Patrick Fitzgerald in the Libby case but most of its contents have been redacted, including a five-page section with only the word "redacted" appearing. The affidavit offers only a few clues about those involved besides Libby and perpetuates the mystery of who Bob Woodward's source was ("Official"). The Libby defense says the "official" is an official outside the White House.
The affidavit notes, "Libby testified that he learned from [redacted] on July 10 or July 11 that Novak was aware of Wilson's wife employment at the CIA and that Novak planned to publish a story about Wilson and his wife."
Libby's lawyers had requested that Judge Walton provide them with the identity of Official 1 but Fitzgerald has stated that it is still grand jury material and therefore secret. One paragraph does indicate that the official spoke with Bob Woodward and Notes, "Libby has been given a redacted transcript of the conversation between Woodward and [redacted] and Novak has published an account briefly describing the conversation with his first confidential source [redacted]."
This seems to indicate that Woodward or his source have an audio recording of their conversations which they have provided Fitzgerald.

An electrical device for logic circuits having a package comprising a combination of controlled collapse electrical interconnections, such as solder balls and pin through-hole conductors, wherein the conductors are disposed outside the perimeter of an inter-array of solder balls, which when a maximum number of solder balls are disposed, the array is circular in shape, so as to provide an increased footprint for the electrical device beyond that, otherwise maximum footprint for solder balls alone, which footprint is otherwise limited in size due to failures which occur in solder balls when solder balls are exposed to thermal and mechanical stress levels at extended distances from the neutral or zero stress point of the array.
1. A packaged electronic hardware unit having a footprint including an array of electrical connections for engagement with a circuit board for performing logic functions without incurring mechanical stress which can result in electrical discontinuity at the electrical connections, comprising:
a substrate having a center and a planar underside surface;
an electrical logic circuit have input/output terminals carried by the substrate;
individual contacts of controlled collapse electrically conductive solder material connected to some of the input/output terminals formed in the shape of balls extending downwardly from the substrate and extending in an orthogonal direction from the planar underside surface of the substrate; and
individual pins of electrically conductive material connected to other of the input/output terminals not connected to the contacts, extending downwardly from the substrate and orthogonally from the substantially planar underside surface of the substrate and disposed more outwardly from the center of the substrate than any contact to form an array of electrical connections including contacts and pins, which contacts include a maximum number of contacts forming a circular array of contacts, and which pins are disposed farther from the center of the substrate than the contacts to provide electrical connections which do not incur mechanical stress which can result in electrical discontinuity at the electrical connections.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to microminiature electronic circuitry surface mount technology (SMT) and particular to packaging integrated circuit devices including chips and modules utilizing a combination of controlled collapse electrical interconnections, such as solder balls, and pin through-hole conductors.
2. Description of Related Art
Solder electrical contacts, particularly for integrated circuits and VLSI technology (very large scale integration), has been widely used and implemented for more than two decades. As it has been perfected, it has made extensive use of what is known as solder ball connection (SBC) technology. Numerous techniques have been developed, such as the controlled chip collapse connection or C-4 technology within the IBM Corporation which has often been referred to in the industry as the flip-chip technique. The term flip-chip is used because it employed packaging chips, for example, with their electrical connections facing down as opposed to a previous extensively used technique of making electrical connections by, for example, wire bond techniques to package (e.g. chip) pins which are pointed upward, in what might be referred to as an inverted package.
Extensive studies have shown that solder ball connection (SBC) arrays, although highly reliable, have certain dimensional and distance limitations which are a factor of the maximum distance that a solder ball can be located from what is usually referred to as a neutral point or point of zero stress on an area array for a chip without threat of rupture or stress fracture. Such chips usually have a footprint which comprises an array of uniformly spaced solder balls in a substantially rectangular and preferably symmetrical square pattern or layout.
Most any connecting system for electrically joining microminiature devices with system components typically has a mismatch of materials between, for example, a chip, a module and/or a circuit board, which mismatch produces mechanical stress in the electrical connection joints. The differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the material, for example, silicon of the circuit chip, the material, for example, ceramic used for the module substrate and the epoxy/glass circuit card to which the module mounts, through the use of the solder balls, are significant. Those mechanical stresses including those stresses generated by shock which can occur merely from a device being dropped, have been widely studied and it is generally recognized that there are limitations as to the maximum number of solder balls, as a factor of their size in combination with their spacing, which can be incorporated so as to have satisfactory reliability and continued continuity for the established electrical connections.
Other factors which affect the configuration and the quantity of the incorporated solder balls involves the materials that are used in making either the solder balls and the material which with the solder ball mates or connects on either the chip or the module.
Another utilized technique to increase the reliability of the neutral point distance is to epoxy the chip or module to the board. As the chip or module stresses due to heat expansion the stress is transferred or dissipated through the epoxy or glue to the board or card. This is an expansive technique which does not provide for rework of the card if there is component failure.
The present inventive contribution presents a technique wherein the chip package and the location of it's input/output (I/O) terminals and their quantity and the corresponding device footprint can be increased. The technique provides for extending the solder ball connection technology to higher density I/O footprints which scheme yields a higher I/O count, while at the same time capitalizing upon the advantage of the inherently low inductance of the solder ball connection package.
This advantage is accomplished by the I/O count on the component package being increased by adding electrical conducting pins to I/O locations extending more outwardly from the solder ball connectors. Conducting pins have good mechanical and electrical characteristics similar to wire but have an order of magnitude greater inductance then solder balls. The pins are located more outwardly from the calculated point of zero stress of the component than the solder balls and generally beyond that dimension which has been identified as the distance from the point of zero stress where stress fractures in solder balls is not likely to occur. When the maximum number of solder balls are disposed in this manner, the solder balls form a circular array. The strength and flexibility of the electrical connecting pins, particularly for pins which have been brazed, and which are intended for through-hole connection, can more readily withstand undue stresses which are experienced due to thermal expansion and can do so at greater distances from the point of zero stress.
This inventive technique provides for efficiency and the maximum utilization of all potential electrical connections and eliminates any need to provide so called sacrificial solder balls or other stress carriers which are not functionally electrically operational. It is well appreciated that, for example, a connection grid array of 10 by 10 is not as reliable as a grid area of 10 by 10 contained with a box of 12 by 12 where the extra two rows are pins. With the present invention, the extra two rows can be electrically functional and yet highly reliable from a stress fracture stand-point.

The present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanied drawings, in which illustrative embodiments of the present invention are shown. It is to be understood at the outset of the description which follows that persons of skill in the appropriate arts may modify the invention herein described while still achieving the favorable results of this invention. Accordingly the description which follows is to be understood as being a broad, teaching disclosure directed to persons of skill in the appropriate arts, and not as limiting upon the present invention.
Illustrated in FIG. 1 is a module 10 having a substrate base 12 and a cap 14. Sandwiched between the cap 14 and the base 12 are illustrated exemplary chips 16 and 18. Module 10 is connected to an epoxy glass circuit board card 20. Electrical conductivity between the card 20 and the chip 16 and 18 is maintained by the electrically conductive material, exemplary illustrated as solder balls 22. Hard-wire lines or printed circuit board electrical paths are typically shown and illustrated as lines 24 and 26.
The illustration in FIG. 1 is shown in cross section and the module cap 14 is typically a material comprising a solderable cap or brazed ceramic. A glob-top can also be employed. Also a thermal conduction module (TCM) cap can be considered, albeit more expensive. The base or substrate 12 is typically a ceramic material and can be composed of such materials as keyathera or material referred to as "92-11". The card 20, as previously stated, is a composition of epoxy/glass or such other suitable materials such as copper-invar-copper (cu-inv-cu).
FIG. 2 is a view along section lines A--A of FIG. 1 and shows the footprint of a typical array of electrically conductive materials 22. This array is an arrangement of uniformly spaced (e.g. grids of 50 mil or 100 mil) and in-line electrical contacts or stations and rows. This illustration can be varied without disrupting the integrity of the array. These arrays without the benefit of the present invention have a limit in overall size of approximately 50 mm in size due to temperature change induced cracks or stress. The footprint of each solder ball immediately adjacent to the underside surface of the substrate 12 is illustrated generally in a square configuration. That square configuration is approximated and will be better appreciated when viewed in FIG. 3 which is an exploded view of View X of FIG. 1 of the left most positioned solder ball 22.
The solder ball is composed of a central portion which is a generally spherically shaped ball 28 and can be composed of a solder material known as 90/10 wherein 90% of the material is lead (PB) and 10% of the material is tin (Sn). An upper foot 30 of the solder ball 22 provides for contact between the spherical ball 28 and the electrical connecting terminal disposed on the underside of the substrate 12. Whereas a lower foot 32 provides for electrical connection between the spherical ball 28 of the solder ball 22 and the epoxy glass card 20 and the electrical terminal disposed thereon for providing continuous electrical continuity. The upper foot 30 and a lower foot 32 can be comprised of materials, such as 37/63 PB/Sn. The lead-tin composition selections are selected primarily for reasons related to manufacturability and of course electrical conductivity. During original manufacturing or later rework, as for example, the solder ball is not melted but the upper and lower feet may be fused in place or removed by melting, and is accomplished due to the differing lead-tin content. This construction, as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 is reasonably typical to devices which are readily used in the present state of the art and does not incorporate the features of the present invention.
Such a typical state of the art device is illustrated in FIG. 4 where shown in partial cross section is an exemplary chip 34 disposed within a partially illustrated cap 36, which cap is secured to a substrate 38 in typical fashion. Electrical circuitry is provided for connection between the appropriate terminals of the chip 34 and the solder ball 40 which in turn provides the electrical circuit between the substrate 38 and the card 42 and makes electrical contact with a typically illustrated via 44 within the card 42. These vias are smaller in diameter than plated-through holes (PTH) for pin connectors, such as shown in FIG. 8. These vias facilitate expeditious reworking.
Under thermal stress conditions, where a solder ball is subjected to an undue influence of material differences and thermal coefficients of expansion from the various components, including the module cap 14, the module substrate 12 and the circuit card 20, as for example, stress fractures can be generated such as these exhibited in the exploded view of FIG. 5. Failure from fatigue caused by thermal cycles (e.g. by repeatedly turning the end assembly on and off) is created by the thermal conditions and can result in fractures, such as those illustrated in cross section at areas 46 and 48. This stress is caused by the expansion of a module which may, for example, be at ambient temperature, which is then operated and, which as a consequence, shortly afterwards reaches a relatively high temperature, such as 80 to 100 degrees centigrade. These stress fractures are usually shear stress fractures and are illustrated as occurring in the upper foot 50 and the lower foot 52 of the typically illustrated solder ball 40.
FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 are illustrations of modules incorporating features according to the principles of the present invention. In FIG. 6 illustrated in typical fashion is a substrate 44, as illustrated with a substantially planar base, providing for electrical conductivity there through, to pass to typically illustrated solder balls 46 and the electrically conductive pins 48 disposed outwardly from the central portion of the module and outside of the solder balls 46. The pins 58 can be of differing materials, including, for example, gold-plated steel Kovour. Other eutectic materials can be employed. These types of pins provide a relatively high degree of reliability but are also, when compared to solder balls, relatively expensive. Both the solder balls 56 and the pins 58 provide for electrical conductivity between the module of the substrate 54 to the circuit card 60.
A typical array of the solder balls 56 and the pins 58 is as best illustrated in FIG. 7. FIG. 6 is the cross sectional view as presented along the lines B--B of FIG. 7. This array, generally speaking, can easily approach 64 mm in size. The size parameters are dependent upon such factors as the type of socket the pins are connected to. In the illustration of FIG. 7 the total I/Os have increased from 329 to 625 when on a grid of 0.050 inch centers. In FIG. 7 the footprints of each of the electrical connections including the solder balls 56 and the electrical pins 58 are shown generally in geometric configuration as a square. Those squares, which are illustrated as outlines and are open in the center and which are identified generally by reference character 56, are solder balls. Those squares, which are darkened boxes or squares and which are typically identified by 58, are pins. It will be noted generally that the solder balls extend no further out from the identified neutral point than that dimension which is the maximum allowable dimension or distance from the neutral point. The illustrated distance "D" is, in this typical illustration, the maximum distance the solder balls should extend from the neutral point 60 so as to prevent stress fractures. It is clear that even one connector pin placed outside of the solder ball array will provide an advantage to preclude stress fractures in the solder balls, but in practice more pins, such as a single row surrounding the solder ball array, are preferred.
Under certain circumstances this "D" dimension is approximately 13.5 mm. In the illustrated geometrically symmetrical laid out array of FIG. 7, point 60 is at the center of what in this illustration could comprise a circle of solder balls having a radius of "D" with the circles center at point 60. It is fully appreciated that in every instance the arrangements need not necessarily be symmetrically disposed about a central most point. However, that is the preferred case and for the convenience of this particular discussion, the symmetrical illustration is presented. In FIG. 7 the center area identified as Area C is typically comprised of solder balls uniformly spaced and disposed and are of solder balls of the kind as illustrated in FIG. 6 as solder ball 56. Electrically conductive materials, which extend beyond the maximum desirable dimension D, as measured from the central or neutral point 60, are illustrated as electrical pins 58. Typically any electrical contact or conductive materials within Area C are of the kind of electrical pins as illustrated by pins 58.
Studies have resulted in the following satisfactory results for the mentioned module sizes: where the I/Os are on 0.050" centers:
Module of 25 mm--I/O count increased form 329 to 361;
Module of 32 mm--I/O count increased from 329 to 625; and
Module of 44 mm--I/O count increased from 329 to 1,089.
This inventive combination has at least the following advantages: The inclusion of both pins and solder balls as I/Os on the same platform (e.g. large MLC substrates) increases the I/O density; pin locations may be on 50 or 100 mil grid; pins used for low inductance ports do not require gold plate; concerns of aligning the solder balls to the next level of assembly are significantly reduced due to the fact that the pins will guide (self-align) the substrate into the next level of assembly; the self-alignment feature minimizes the added equipment expense and process step of optical alignment required if only solder balls are present; the solder ball acts as a built in standoff, thus eliminating the requirement for special forming of the pin or addition of a standoff post; and pins "protect" the SBC solder balls during handling before assembly.
By limiting pins to those areas generally outside of the critical dimension "D", the relative cost of the packaged component can be controlled. This combination of, for example, solder balls and pins provides for a bigger footprint for the component package but not at significantly increased costs nor any sacrifice in reliability or performance. This marriage of SBC and pin-in-hole technology has been quite successful.
FIG. 8, which is an exploded view of View Y in FIG. 6, best illustrates a typical solder ball 56 and the typical pin 58. In the illustration of FIG. 8 a plated-through-hole (PTH) 62 or socket, in the card 60 is provided into which the pin 58 is inserted. The pin 58 is brazed at location 64. The arrangement also facilitates the alignment of the substrate 54 with the card 60. The PTH is typically copper-clad and the pin is usually then soldered in place with, for example, 37/63 solder shown at locations 66. It is readily apparent that pins can be incorporated with other solder techniques such as solder columns. Further when pins are used in combination with materials like solder balls, the pins do not have to be swedged to prevent over insertion. The solder balls act as a natural stop and selected pins with built in stops do not need to be specially formed and located to accomplish stand off between the component package and its connected circuitry.
While the invention is particularly shown and described with reference to a detailed description, it would be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Here's the pre-meeting e-mail notice sent sent to other board members Wednesday by board president James Sampson wrote that he would
"I will be introducing a resolution in regular business meting that Don Ogilvie be appointed immediately as interim superintendent. We will be reviewing his contract in executive session. (Board attorney) Karl Kristoff will be present to review it with us. Essentially he will be paid the same as Doctor (Pamela) Brown. There will be no fringe benefits and no provision for bonuses or merit pay. Also he can terminate the contract with 30 days notice as can the BOE.
I appreciate this is coming quickly after July first, however we have known for two months that Dr. Brown will be leaving and we have made very little progress in retaining an interim superintendent. Additionally,. school will begin in 8 weeks and there is much to be accomplished. Further there are many open positions and I am sure much work is not being attended to. Considering that this is an interim appointment, we did not have the luxury of any elongated search process.
Brown was paid $218,000. Based on the plans that various board members had floated publicly, Ogilvie will be a long term interim, to try and implement reforms, before handing day to day administration of a restored school district off to another administrator in approximately three years.
Ogilvie retired from his position in charge of Erie 1 BOCES in June, and had been in charge of the umbrella of shared services and vocational programs they institute on behalf of several school districts in Erie County. He was one of the candidates considered as interim superintendent upon the departure of Supt. James Williams in 2010, and has worked with the Buffalo School System to allow students to attend BOCES and receive vocational education diplomas.
Last year the state ordered the co-operation with BOCES to try and boost a graduation rate of 47 percent. In 2013 numbers released since then, the rate rose approx 3 points to 51 %.
Last year Ogilvie had been a member of the joint intervention team that the State Education Department sent to the Buffalo School District to evaluate problems there and made recommendations for administrative reforms in a report to state officials.
His appointment comes after state officials rejected several Buffalo school turnaround plans that were not completed.

Judd-1005, PR66 Brown
Design. The obverse portrays a seated figure of Liberty with shield and olive branch. A scroll is draped over the shield with the word LIBERTY inscribed and a Liberty pole stands behind the shield. Thirteen stars surround the central devices, with the date in the exergue. The reverse is the design used for regular-issue coinage in 1870. Struck in copper with a plain edge.
Commentary. William Barber's elegant seated figure of Liberty was one of his best designs. USPatterns.com reports that Judd-1005 was part of the Mint's program of specialty items, sold in combination with other denominations as part of complete year sets. A typical set appeared in the Parmelee Collection (New York Coin and Stamp, 6/1890), lot 209. The set included an example of each coin from three cent piece to silver dollar, in copper with plain edges. Sets were also available in silver and aluminum, with plain or reeded edges. The Mint's market in specialty items seems to have been as active in 1870 as it is today.
Physical Description. The deeply mirrored fields flash strongly and give additional vibrancy to the red and blue colors seen on each side. An essentially flawless example of this well-executed pattern. NGC Census: 3 in PR66 Brown, 2 finer plus a PR65 Red. PCGS Population: None in PR66 Brown, 2 finer plus 10 additional coins with lower numerical grades, but designated as either Red or Red and Brown (12/08).

According to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, 33 percent of Americans believe Obama's economic program has made the economy worse, while only 30 percent believe it has improved the situation. Moreover, a record 57 percent disapprove of how the president has handled the economy.
Making matters worse, at a time when the November elections are fast approaching, there is no quick fix for the White House -- not with Congress more focused on campaigns than anything else for the next 60 days. Whether the White House, and businesses, like it or not, this fall is about campaigning, not passing major legislation.
Even Obama's former budget director Peter Orszag said Tuesday that the tax cuts should be extended for two years.
"Higher taxes now would crimp consumer spending, further depressing the already inadequate demand for what firms are capable of producing at full tilt," wrote Orszag, the former director of the Office of Management & Budget, in a column in the New York Times.
In addition to Orszag, a handful of Senate Democrats have also weighed in against letting the tax cuts expire. That is not welcome news for an administration already wrestling with partisan gridlock, the possible loss of power on Capitol Hill and a growing number of Americans who disapprove of its handling of the economy.

Steve Alten's New Novel, PHOBOS: MAYAN FEAR, Links God Particle to Doomsday
Back in July, physicists in Geneva announced the existence of the Higgs Boson, or 'God particle,' a subatomic particle thought to be the key to understanding the makeup of the universe. What these physicists forgot to mention is that smashing protons together at near-light speed using the Large Hadron Collider also produces a potentially planet-ending byproduct -- miniature black holes.
While CERN physicists contend that these black holes are too small to threaten the Earth, a new book just released by NY Times best-selling author Steve Alten links the Large Hadron Collider with two very real cataclysmic threats prophesied by the Mayan Calendar, with the doomsday event predicted for December 21st of this year.
Author Steve Alten consulted with physicists while researching his book, PHOBOS: Mayan Fear, which graphically details these two ticking time-bombs of Mother Nature. The first is a 3,000-foot-high mega-Tsunami originating from La Palma, one of the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa. Scientists concur the threat detailed in the book is real and that the described mega-Tsunami would strike the east coast of the United States, leveling New York, Boston, and Miami.
The second major event described in the book is the eruption of the Yellowstone caldera, a super-volcano packing the equivalent of ten thousand Mt. Saint Helens. Besides the widespread devastation and destruction, the eruption would blanket the Earth's atmosphere, cutting off the sun's rays and leading to a 100,000-year Ice Age.
PHOBOS: Mayan Fear reveals that both of these seismic threats could be accidentally triggered by a miniature black hole generated by the Large Hadron Collider.

Weather likely cause of Sinton plane crash
The preliminary investigation indicate that weather is the likely cause of a crash at the Sinton airport at 8:45 a.m. Monday that killed an experienced Continental Airline pilot flying his homemade airplane.
Scott James Schilleci, 45, of Spring Branch near San Antonio, died when the Van RV-6 plane he was piloting stalled, then crashed, and was destroyed by fire, Herwig said.
"At this point, weather was a potential issue," said Craig Hatch, lead investigator in the case for National Transportation Safety Board. "How much, I dont know."
Low clouds could have been a factor, said Roland Herwig, a spokesperson for Federal Aviation Adminstrations Southwest Region.
"There wasnt much Mr. Schilleci couldnt do," said Casey Rubey, manager of Kesteral Airpark, a residential community in Spring Branch where people can park their airplanes. "Im not saying he was Superman, but if he could have handled the situation, Im sure he would have. He was as talented of a pilot as I know."
The final report could take a couple of months or over a year to complete, Herwig said.

Texas Architect July/Aug 2008: Regional Response
Texas Architect is the official publication of the Texas Society of Architects, each edition features recently completed projects and other editorial content largely written by AIA members in Texas. That collective participation was the basis of Texas Architect's recognition by the national AIA with a 2010 Institute Honor for Collaborative Achievement.
texas architect 7/8 2008 10 News Flames Damage Governor's Mansion: state Offers Reward to Find Arsonist austin Gov. Rick Perry has vowed to rebuild the historic Governor's Mansion that was heavily damaged in a pre-dawn fire on June 8. A criminal investigation is focused on video- tape from a security camera that showed a man throwing an object at the mansion's entrance before fleeing the scene. A $50,000 reward was announced on June 16 for information that may lead to the arrest of the suspected arsonist. The 152-year-old home was empty at the time as an extensive restoration was underway. The $10 million project began last summer after the governor and his family relocated in a rented house located on the outskirts of Austin. The fur- nishings – treasured as part of the state's heri- tage – also had been removed and stored for the duration of the restoration project that originally was expected to continue for 18 months. Suss- man Tisdale Gayle of Austin was the architect of record for the restoration, with Volz & Associates of Austin serving as preservation consultant. Damage was described by fire officials as "catastrophic." Texas Department of Public Safety officers were alerted to the fire just before 2 a.m. More than 100 firefighters called to the scene battled the blaze for several hours before controlling the flames. Due to the positioning of oak trees surrounding the mansion on the site, firefighters initially had difficulty reaching the blaze with adequate water force. After the fire was extinguished, water was then pumped out of the lower levels to prevent the erosion of the building's foundation. The day after the fire, State Fire Marshal Paul Maldonado announced that a security camera showed an individual on the grounds previous to the eruption of the fire. A week later, officials announced the Texas Crime Stoppers reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspected arsonist. The Governor's Mansion is located one block from the grounds of the State Capitol, across from the southwest corner between 10th and 11th streets. Construction of the mansion began in 1854, shortly after the Republic of Texas became the State of Texas. The majestic Greek Revival style executive home was built by master builder and architect Abner Cook, the pioneer of Greek Revival building in Austin. Considered a symbol of Texas pride and ambition, the resi- dence was designed to house heads of state in a grand manner appropriate to their position. The fourth-oldest continuously occupied governor's residence in the U.S., the build- ing has undergone several renovations, most recently from 1979-1982. In the fall of 2007, the latest restoration and renovation project began, intended to tackle surmounting problems such as unreliable plumbing, repainting interior walls, fixing existing plaster sections, install- ing additional smoke detectors, and removing lead masonry on the south side of the house. Additionally, the building did not have an inte- rior sprinkler system, which would have been crucial in preventing the spread of the blaze. A sprinkler system was one of the projects slated for the renovation, but had not been completed at the time of the fire. An official damage estimate has not yet been released, and investigations into the financial impact of the destruction and necessary repairs are still underway. However, according to state officials, much of the original fabrics in the building were destroyed and some of the inte- rior ornamentation is unsalvageable. Interior walls and ceilings are singed, leaving some of the original construction materials exposed, the second floor balcony is burned in half, and the sweeping U-shaped staircase in the front hallway stands charred. Parts of the low-hipped roof have buckled but not completely collapsed, and the 30-ft columns and entablature on the front porch were severely damaged. The objects and furnishings inside the building – includ- ing historic artifacts, artwork, and antiques from generations of inhabitants – had been removed prior to the start of last fall's renova- tion to protect the items from potential harm and clear workspace for painters and plumbers to work efficiently. The Texas Historical Commission has stated that the building appears to be structurally sound enough to restore, and that workers should be able to rebuild the Texas treasure back to its original luster. Emma JanzEn Photos court esy t he Gov ern or's of fice the 152-year-old Governor's Mansion was undergoing restoration when the fire broke out on June 8.

Almost no love for kelly kelly in the prediction contest :/
Well i think some icing is needed to hype summerslam tonight.

@ksquared: just hit airport. Already booked stretch limo for after show. Tonight is going to rock. #partytilldawn
Brock: You feeling butterflies, Anderson? Either way, after I'm finished with you, you'll be feeling nothing at all except an IV drip going through your arm.
Brock: It's too bad I don't have my "douchebag to English" dictionary on hand with me because quite frankly, I don't understand half of what you just said. I don't know who the hell you think you are but what I know for a fact is that Anderson is going down tonight and there's not a damn thing you or anyone else can do about it.
My memory is not great, so can someone confirm/correct me, that in EST, it's 16:35?
Everything from my side of SS is done and in HQ! :) Took me a while to get on here as I was having issues with the site, was it just me having those problems? The pages wouldn't refresh.
Sorted now though! :D

2014 may have been the year of the nipple (#FreeTheNipple), but 2015 is definitely the year of the bush (#PubeGame). Pubic hair is so popular right now, it's vogue. From mild to moderate tuffs, harbouring tiny strands of love in between your legs has been all the rage so far this year and it has no intention of slowing down.
Aside from self-love, there is another self-healing method you can try -- taking driving courses. This actually works a little bit like therapy since you are essentially asking yourself to face one of your greatest fears, which is driving. By having your driving instructor walk you through driving procedures, you may gain a clearer sense of control and the environment around you whenever you drive.
over the years and through a lot of bad encounters and relationships, I adapted and went from sweet and innocent to sexy vixen with an edge. Now that I am in a happy and committed relationship, I have some valuable advice for all of those single girls out there. I wish I had this kind of wisdom when I was on the hunt for my Prince.
I continue to carry those words with me: "fat", "ugly", "lazy", "worthless". My one positive attribute was my smarts, and I owned being smart. I shaped myself into the female equivalent of Anthony Michael Hall's character in The Breakfast Club: a dorky loner who was thrilled when she got her first pair of prescription eyeglasses.
If you look around the Internet you'll find that most advice for the 30-something crowd centres around how to find your future mate. Why nobody is talking about how enjoyable and acceptable it is to be happy, in lieu of a partner, is beyond me. I must have missed the memo when being 30 and single was declared an alternative lifestyle.
We can't be Sally Field on Oscar night all the time. We will all be served with harsh criticisms, strange accusations, and cruel comments every once in a while, and it's how we deal with it that really demonstrates the true nature of our character. If you know who you are and strive to be the best person that you can be, you have nothing to worry about.
You've just woken up from a deep sleep and then remember that you've been romping all night with the Sandman who may also happen to be your Ex. That's when the WTF moment kicks in. Sex dreams happen to everyone. Sometimes they are as pleasurable as riding white horses in the meadow with George Clooney or getting naughty with Mila Kunis' legs wrapped around your waist.
Being a good partner sometimes means renegotiating communication strategies so that the question "What's wrong?" isn't perpetually sloughed off. It sometimes means breathing through a bad few months and saying, "I accept this, I can do this, I don't have to fight it," even as you keep fighting for the relationship itself.
The ability to digitally transmit information and, moreover sexually intimate content in particular, has lead to interesting results. This new age trend has hit our mobile units by storm, and let's be honest -- where there's digital technology, there's someone else trying to have sex with it. Because well, orgasms. Here are a few tips to making sure you have a successful #sexypic exchange.
Most of what I am about to tell you is contrary to what you might have been taught or have come to believe in. I have to share this with you because it's just too good not to and because it's something that we need to place more emphasis on. It began with that one word, the one that sometimes we're even afraid to say. Are you ready?
I've been thinking a lot about this interview with Lisa Kudrow about the nose job she got when she was in high school. My first thought is that I want to go back in time and hug teenaged Lisa Kudrow. Most of all, I want to tell her that I get it, because I've been there. I feel sad that I've spent most of my adult life feeling so goddamn unattractive.
Weirdly, Tetris has given me a way that I can practice going easy on myself. I don't have to maintain a spot on someone else's leader board, or have each game trump my last. I can be more... zen. I can relax. And, much to my surprise, this zen feeling has translated into other areas of my life. And, much to my surprise, this zen feeling has translated into other areas of my life.
My mother came out of the clothing store change room wearing a long-sleeved pink sweatshirt. When she came out, smiling at me, I could tell she felt confident. Her smile vanished the second she saw herself. "I look fat." It's a difficult feeling to describe, when you see your mother so wounded by her own reflection.
The importance of self-love is something that has never been lost on me, but it was something that, until recently, I could only really pinpoint in others. Without self-love, I found myself in relationships, friendships, and other situations which were not healthy. But self-love has nothing to do with anyone except you.
It's always been a big question to me where my comfort lies in the area of revealing my body. Am I am doing the world any good when I show off my frame? Am I building self-confidence or feeding the machine that tells us women should be seen, not heard. And better yet, women should be nearly naked, and perpetually on display in 2012?

I spent a lot of time researching doctors to choose one who had the same ideas and feelings about L&D as I do and I feel extremely comfortable with the doctor I chose. Today I got a letter stating my doctor will be on vacation from Feb 9-18. My due date is smack in the middle of that week. I am EXTREMELY upset because the three doctors who are covering her are NOT on the same page as I am when it comes to L&D and all of them are men and I really wanted a female doctor to deliver my baby. I'm almost 8m pregnant and at this point I can't change providers. No idea what to do. I'm so upset, I can't even put it into words.
So upset with my OB GYN
BTW, yes I'm a FTM, but every female in my family - mom, sister, aunts, first cousins - has delivered during their due week. Nobody's ever been early OR late... always within 3 days of the due date. That's what pre-occupies me.

Is it too late to change providers for insurance reasons? If you explained your situation to a midwife you might well be taken on... but I have no idea if that would be of interest or how finances would work. Just throwing it out there.
Mommy to 12, 10, 8, 6, 3, 2 and 7 months.
Offices here don't generally accept new patients after 20w. I would not use a midwife because I think it's crazy to deliver at home or anywhere else besides a hospital, since a few minutes without oxygen can have lasting effects on your child forever. I want to be in the same building as a NICU in case of complications. And that doesn't even go into the issues with insurance. I had to spend an hour on the phone teaching them the law just to get my breast pump for free!
Bundle 1.1 born February 7, 2013
Bundle 2.0 due July 29, 2014
My doctor is the same way - you see the doctor who has been doing your prenatal care. That's who delivers your baby and that's who does rounds the following day. I wouldn't go to a practice that did it any other way.
Bundle 1.1 born February 7, 2013
Bundle 2.0 due July 29, 2014
In that case meeting with the other doctors is probably the best you can do. In the circumstances I bet they would be willing to meet with you even if you are not due for a prenatal appointment - tell the practice how you feel and see if you can go in and meet a couple of them one day, and then another day to meet the other 1 or 2. Tell them your fears.
