With the end of homecoming activities, the class of 2013 went out on a winning note as the Hannibal High School seniors beat the juniors 5-4 to win the Powder Puff Bowl championship Wednesday night when Gabby York crashed through the junior defensive line and into the end zone on the final play of the game before time expired in regulation.
York passed for one touchdown aside from scoring the game winner on the ground.
In the third place game, the freshmen beat the sophomores 5-1 without any problems.
The seniors beat the freshmen 4-3 in the first game of the night with York scoring all four of the Class of 2013's touchdowns. For the freshmen, Julie Colborn scored twice while Anasia Elder also found the end zone.
The freshmen scored on the opening drive against the seniors when Colborn found the end zone on a rushing play. After the seniors countered with a TD of their own, the freshman took over only to throw an interception. However, the freshmen defense stopped the senior offense from scoring. After the seniors stopped the freshmen's next drive,
York gave the seniors its first lead of the game with her second rushing TD of the night. The class of 2016 answered right back when Elder found the end zone for the freshmen to tie the game at 2-2.
After another York touchdown to give the seniors back the lead, the class of 2013 stopped the freshmen offense for the third time. York then extended the seniors' lead with her fourth rushing TD of the game to put the seniors up 4-3.
The freshmen didn't go down quietly though as Colborn scored again for the class of 2016 as time expired in the opening round.
In the evening's other preliminary game, the juniors advanced to the championship game against the seniors after the class of 2014 beat the class of 2015 6-4.
Suiting up for the freshmen were; Bethany Allen, Taylor Bramblett, Teri Davis, Clair Doyle, Gabby Ewert, Danielle Foster, Rachel Halterman, Tamiera Smith, Jessica Taylor, Lonnesha White, Jordan Zimmer and Colborn.
The sophomore class consisted of Adriana Dunn, Destiny Gardner, Kailea Griffen, Rachel Rawlings, and Samie Woodrow.
On the junior class roster were; Jalissa Blue, Raylynn Charlton, Abby Conn, Lauren Holliday, Ashley Leffert, Jennifer White, and Emily Wilcoxson.
Shelby Brown, Kristin Hampton, Maranda Hunter, J'Angela McCullar, Mikayla Murphy, Kelsea Rummans, and York all played for the seniors.
The boys of Hannibal High School took the roles of cheerleaders and coaches while coaches served as referees during the game. All money made from entrance to the game and concessions went to Hannibal's Project Graduation.

In its recent recommendation for the race to represent California's 17th Congressional District, the Mercury News Editorial Board wrote, " ... Silicon Valley -- whose economy, like the 17th District, stretches into the East Bay -- needs more than a congressman who mostly votes the right way ... It needs a leader who grasps the complex economic challenges this economy faces, can articulate how to deal with them and can reach across the aisle to maybe even win some GOP support."
We agree, and that is why Mike Honda should continue to represent the Silicon Valley in Congress.
As the president of the Americas Region of the Semiconductor Equipment & Materials International (SEMI) industry association (we put the "silicon" in Silicon Valley), I have seen first hand Honda's dedication to the businesses and people that call the district and the Silicon Valley home.
The Congressman has been to our offices in San Jose, and he and his staff have made many visits to R&D and production centers that our member companies have in his district to see the breakthrough technology they produce, which enables every piece of modern electronics, from laptops and smart phones to photovoltaic solar panels and LED lights. Honda is actively engaged with Silicon Valley companies and has always had an open-door policy to hear our concerns.
However, being a Member of Congress is more than just being a great listener. It's about working with your colleagues to get things done. How does one do that in Washington? First, you need to have the right relationships, and that takes time.
Honda is well-liked and respected by both sides of the aisle, that's why he's been endorsed by President Obama and Nancy Pelosi, and has been given a seat on the House Appropriations Committee. Not just anybody gets to be on this committee, you need to be not only respected by leadership, but also have the confidence of the rank-and-file.
What's more, Honda is not only progressive, but practical, too. He regularly works with the Republican members of the committee like Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA-10) to get things done. He has been a leading supporter of the bipartisan bill, H.R. 2996, the "Revitalize American Manufacturing & Innovation Act," which aims to promote more collaborative advanced manufacturing in the United States, and would certainly benefit Silicon Valley.
This bill is sponsored by a Republican in the House, a Democrat in the Senate and is a top priority of the Obama Administration. It doesn't get more bipartisan than that.
And, when it comes to standing up to his party in favor of his convictions, he doesn't shy away from that, either. Just recently he broke with the majority of the members of his party in order to vote for the permanent extension of the R&D tax credit, which is crucial to our local and national innovation economy.
While I'm sure the other candidates running for the 17th district seat all have great individual qualities, it's misleading to suggest that Honda doesn't have the skills, passion, or bipartisan connections to effectively represent Silicon Valley in Congress. He has time and again proven his leadership and ability to effectively represent us in Congress.
Karen Savala is president of SEMI Americas based in San Jose. She wrote this for this newspaper.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This invitation is just beautiful! I used several different fonts, which made the "surprise" part of the invitation stand out. The invitation is thick, the color is rich, the printing is clear and bright. I had the invitation looked at by a design specialist before printing. I was given a choice between my design and one the designer tweaked for me. The designer put the SURPRISE part at the bottom in capital letters. Looks beautiful. My invitations are all address and ready to send. This invite will truly make an impression on the type of party we are having. Thanks so much!"
"These cards arrived before the estimated date of delivery and were secured along with the envelopes in shrink wrap. All of the invites and envelops were in perfect condition. I was impressed with the paper quality. These invites have the look and feel of being "green" as they appear to almost be from recycled stock (with out the random color strands you would find in other stock) My only complaint would be that I could not get these printed without the company's logo on the back. I felt having the logo and contact info was a bit cheap looking. Overall I love them and have already placed my 2nd order for another party I am throwing!"
"I was looking for an anniversary invite for my parents and the choices were limited, but I loved this card. It turned out to be just perfect for what I wanted. The paper quality was great and I was very happy with the end result."
"We could not have designed a more perfect invite for our parents 50th Anniversary! Customer service was excellent especially when I needed a last minute addition to the invite! Thanks for getting our party started!!!"
"I was very surprised to how these invitations came out. I ordered my save the dates before I ordered my parents invites, so I had no idea what to expect. They both arrived the same day and I was shocked at how AWESOME they came out!!! I really took a huge chance with these and my save the dates and was amazed at how they came out. I would 100% recommend these invites or anything else from weddingpaperdivas!"

Hinduism And Buddhism Vol. 2
An Historical Sketch
Transcriber's Note
Excerpts from the Preface to the book from Volume 1, regarding the method of transcription used.
"In the following pages I have occasion to transcribe words belonging to many oriental languages in Latin characters. Unfortunately a uniform system of transcription, applicable to all tongues, seems not to be practical at present. It was attempted in the Sacred Books of the East, but that system has fallen into disuse and is liable to be misunderstood. It therefore seems best to use for each language the method of transcription adopted by standard works in English dealing with each, for French and German transcriptions, whatever their merits may be as representations of the original sounds, are often misleading to English readers, especially in Chinese. For Chinese I have adopted Wade's system as used in Giles's Dictionary, for Tibetan the system of Sarat Chandra Das, for Pali that of the Pali Text Society and for Sanskrit that of Monier-Williams's Sanskrit Dictionary, except that I write ś instead of s.
Indian languages however offer many difficulties: it is often hard to decide whether Sanskrit or vernacular forms are more suitable and in dealing with Buddhist subjects whether Sanskrit or Pali words should be used. I have found it convenient to vary the form of proper names according as my remarks are based on Sanskrit or on Pali literature, but this obliges me to write the same word differently in different places, e.g. sometimes Ajâtaśatru and sometimes Ajâtasattu, just as in a book dealing with Greek and Latin mythology one might employ both Herakles and Hercules. Also many Indian names such as Ramayana, Krishna, nirvana have become Europeanized or at least are familiar to all Europeans interested in Indian literature.
It seems pedantic to write them with their full and accurate complement of accents and dots and my general practice is to give such words in their accurate spelling (Râmâyana, etc.) when they are first mentioned and also in the notes but usually to print them in their simpler and unaccented forms. I fear however that my practice in this matter is not entirely consistent since different parts of the book were written at different times."

How to Weather Wood
Weathering wood, also called aging or distressing, is a process in which new wood is made to look old or worn. Weathering wood is a good idea if you need to replace a piece of wood in an old structure with a new piece, or if you want to give an authentic feel to furniture or a wood surface. As every weathering process has a unique goal--making new wood look like a specific piece of old, distressed wood--these steps will provide a general overview of aging techniques that can be tweaked and modified for your needs.
1Identify how you want your weathered wood to look.
- Take note of the color and texture of the distressed wood that you want to imitate. If possible, keep a piece of the old wood with you as a guide. Alternatively, take a picture of the old wood as reference.
2Modify the surface of the wood. There are several methods for doing this, varying in intensity and effect.
3Scrub the surface of the wood with a stiff brush.
- Scrub with and against the grain until marks appear. This will give the wood a generally worn appearance. If these marks are not deep enough, try scrubbing with steel wool.
- Scrape the surface of the wood with nails and hammer nails into another piece of wood and drag these along the wood you're aging to produce deeper gashes in the wood and give the appearance of minor damage.
4Spread small rocks over the surface of the wood and, stepping on the rocks with heavy boots, press them into the wood to give the appearance of wood that has been exposed to the elements.
5Make deeper marks and gashes using an awl or a screwdriver to give the appearance of wood that has been severely damaged.
6Stain the wood with a simple wood stain to produce an even, solid color that will need to be scrubbed or scraped again to make it look aged.
7Make a homemade stain to closely approximate the silver color of wood that has been aged outside.
- Popular methods include combining India ink and water, tea and vinegar, or other common household products. Paint this mixture onto the wood and let dry.
8Paint the wood with common household paint.
9Modify the color of the wood.
- Choose a technique that will result in your new wood most closely resembling the color of the original distressed wood.
10Seal the wood to lock in whatever coloring you have chosen by applying wood sealer and let the wood dry.
11Scrape or scrub the wood again with a brush, steel wool, nails or other implements.
12This will reduce the finished look that applying stain or other coloring will give the wood.
Community Q&A
- If you are not imitating an original piece of distressed wood, simply pick and choose from the techniques above to weather your wood according to your needs. Using a homemade mixture with tea and vinegar will result in a more outdoor-weathered look than wood stain.
- Throughout the weathering process, keep an eye on the original distressed wood to make sure you are not making too many changes to the new wood. It's easy to age your new wood further, but impossible to reverse changes that make it look too weathered.
- The hardest part of weathering wood is finding the right stain or other mixture to imitate the color of distressed wood. Test out several different combinations on scrap wood before applying it to your main project.
Things You'll Need
- New wood
- Original distressed wood (optional)
- Stiff brush or steel wool
- Nails
- Small rocks
- Wood stain
- India ink, tea, or vinegar (optional)
- Wood sealer

In this week's episode of Banter, Stu and Andrew set out an epic quest to understand the mystery of health care exchanges. To aid them on their journey of danger and adventure, they enlist the best guide in town – AEI's own Tom Miller. Tom's a loose cannon, but he's the best there is. Tom explains the theory behind health care exchanges, how they are being implemented under the Affordable Care Act, and problems with the exchanges in both theory and practice. We also discuss the current legal challenges ACA is facing. Though faced with many trials and tribulations along the way, Stu and Andrew not only learn a lot about health care exchanges, but discover even more valuable lessons about friendship, about following your dreams, and about staying true to yourself. Enjoy!

"It is a shame that we will let yet another July Fourth pass us by without ending our unnecessary dependence on oil -- a dependence that is funding the bullets that our enemies fire at our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan."
--Jonathan Powers, Iraq War Veteran and COO of the Truman Security Project, at a Sierra Club press conference on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
In this issue:
1) Take Action: End Our Oil Dependence and Make Our Communities Livable
2) Take Action: Make a Call to Protect Alaskan Forests
3) Beyond Oil: 10,000 Flags Planted in Washington, D.C.
4) Coal: EPA Approves Another Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining Application
1) Take Action: End Our Oil Dependence and Make Our Communities Livable
The BP oil disaster in the Gulf is a tragic reminder that we must end our oil addiction. Every day our sprawling communities lead us to burn millions of barrels of oil in our cars and trucks. By creating transportation choices besides driving, we can end our dependence on oil and create more convenient, livable communities.
The Livable Communities Act would work to lower housing and transportation costs by promoting people-friendly development, including affordable living, public transit, and walkable and bikeable "complete streets."
Ask your Representative to end our dependence on oil by cosponsoring the Livable Communities Act!
2) Take Action: Make a Call to Protect Alaskan Forests
Last week, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) officially unveiled revisions to S. 881, her highly controversial bill that would transfer approximately 70,000 high-value acres of Alaska's Tongass National Forest to the Sealaska Native Corporation. Unfortunately her changes failed to address the bill's fundamental problems, as this latest version would still significantly threaten the region's recreational and wildlife values.
Ask Please call your senators and urge them to oppose S. 881 and help defeat any effort to privatize the crown jewel of our national forest system!
3) Beyond Oil: 10,000 Flags Planted in Washington, D.C.
Last week Sierra Club volunteers planted more than 10,000 American flags on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The flags spelled out "Freedom from Oil" and represented the more than 50,000 people who signed up online asking President Obama for a plan to move the U.S. beyond oil in the next two decades.

4) Coal: EPA Approves Another Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining Application
Last week the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave tentative approval to Arch Coal Inc.'s Coal-Mac Pine Creek Surface Mine in Logan County, West Virginia. This large mine would be one of the most significant mountaintop removal coal mines to receive permit approval since the EPA announced more stringent permit review guidance in April.
"We had high hopes that EPA's more stringent guidance for mountaintop removal coal mining would mean protection for our communities, but apparently we were mistaken," said Bill Price, Sierra Club Environmental Justice organizer in West Virginia. "It's time to turn words into action and end this destructive practice."

Giving Circles ~ AAPIP's Community Philanthropy
Posted by Gladys Malibiran @AAPIPNGEC in AAPI communities, AAPI nonprofits, AAPI philanthropy, philanthropy on March 4, 2010
What is Community Philanthropy?
AAPIP seeks to increase, encourage and facilitate giving by and for individuals in Asian Americans/Pacific Islander communities. AAPIP's goal is to grow and demonstrate new models of philanthropy. AAPIP's community philanthropy is currently comprised of regional giving circles and the National Donor Circle.
What is a Giving Circle?A giving circle is a group of volunteers raising, pooling and granting money together. Giving circles allow for a wide range of giving style, philosophy and values. Some giving circle members just donate money while others volunteer their time, skills and expertise in the organizations their giving circle funds. Giving circles also provide social networks, leadership development, peer support and learning among its members.
AAPIP incubated giving circles to support and engage individual Asian American and Pacific Islanders as donors. Since 2005, over 600 AAPI donors have pooled their money and time to award close to $600,000 to 70 API non-profit organizations. AAPIP will continue to provide technical assistance, training, leverage philanthropic resources, convening and provide leadership to giving circles as a commitment to growing philanthropy within the community, from the grassroots.

RINDGE (AP) — The Market Basket supermarket on Route 202 is open again, a day after a suspected leak in a refrigeration system sickened nine people.
The air quality incident happened early Sunday night, as people started complaining of dizziness and respiratory problems. Nine people were sent to three area hospitals. A spokesman at Cheshire Medical Center in Keene said the three patients sent there were treated in the emergency room and released. Officials at the two other hospitals — Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough and Heywood Hospital in Gardner, Mass. — did not return calls seeking patient updates.
A call to the store's manager was not immediately returned.
Shift Lt. Tom Redin of the Southwestern New Hampshire District Fire Mutual Aid said emergency officials were called at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday and that a hazardous materials team from Keene was sent to the store to determine the cause of the air quality problem.

In Their Own Words – Tis the Season…
This "In Their Own Words" is by Shelley Stolaroff Segal. Segal is a playwright, performer, and essayist living in Greensboro, North Carolina. Her latest play focused on autism and race and was performed at the Manhattan Repertory Theater and TEDxEast. Her fourteen-year-old autistic son, Josh, is her divine inspiration, as is his equally divine twin sister, Jordan.
This is the time of the season when I summon my gratitude, reflect on the past year, and count my blessings. I do this even though my son is going through puberty and I am going through my chocolate. Josh is low-functioning and non-verbal, but ridiculously cute. (Except when he's practicing his latest obsession, snapping plastic items into shards. Cutlery, C.D.s, DVDs, hangers, you name it. His favorite two words now are "Bake it.")
However, he's still charming, and I want to recognize my blessings. So in the spirit of the holidays I have listed a few of my favorites:
*I'm grateful the cats pretend to enjoy it when Josh "plays" with them. They have as much fun as they can stand before fleeing.
*I'm grateful that when Josh drives me to drink I can grab a petite café mocha and it still packs enough punch to hold me until bedtime.
*I'm grateful for Josh's laugh.
*I'm grateful that when Josh breaks a C.D. it's usually one of my carefully planted decoys. I'd rather him snap a blank CDR into pieces than one of my Led Zeppelin albums. Most of our sacred, recorded material now lies in the safe. Including the wedding video he targeted three months ago.
*I'm grateful my son likes to hang out with me in coffee shops. And yes, I do cheat on the gluten thing sometimes.
*I'm grateful that Josh's childlike, high-pitched shriek has been supplanted by a low, pubescent growl. However, that yucky in-between voice can be ear-itating as well.
*I'm grateful that Josh's twin sister, Jordan, still loves to show him off even when he struggles to embarrass her. Her friends might not get the plastic fixation but they enjoy his sense of humor and his quirky new devil voice. The growl is even better.
*I'm grateful my family's still happy, and that we're learning to enjoy the holidays a bit more every year. We're not half as dysfunctional as most families I know during this season. That's the biggest blessing of all.

DONIPHAN -- Danny Kellas and Shane Talburt scored 30 points each, leading Doniphan to an 86-64 win over New Madrid County Central on Friday night.
"It's one of the worst defensive efforts I've ever been a part of," said NMCC head coach David Fields. "Danny Kellas had three 3s in the first quarter, and we still haven't found him yet. We just lost him coming down the floor. A kid that averages 25 points, you think you would know where he is at all times."
The Eagles held a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter, but trailed 36-32 at halftime.
The Dons then outscored NMCC 50-32 in the second half to pull out the win.
Behind Kellas and Talburt, Michael Pigg scored 12 points for Doniphan. NMCC was led by Mack Kimble with 16 and Michael Rose with 13.
The Eagles (6-11) played Marshall County in the Massac County Shootout on Saturday. Results were not available at press time.
CHAFFEE - The Chaffee Red Devils basketball team lost to Scott County Central on Friday night with a 97-68 defeat.
The Red Devils (1-12) fell behind early and never recovered. Scott Central led 24-13 after one quarter and 42-27 at the half. The Braves extended the lead to 67-41 entering the fourth quarter.
The Braves were led by Chris Pullen with 18 points and Chris Monroe with 17 points.
Matt Holman added 15 and Avis White, a transfer from Sikeston, came off the bench for a season-high 11 points.
Sam Burnett led the Red Devils with 21 points while James Reischman added 19 points.
"Scott Central came in tonight and shot the ball extremely well, inside and outside," said Chaffee head coach David Mirly. "We did a good job of getting to the free throw line, but we need to hit a better percentage. If we can get to the free throw line like we've been doing, we will make them eventually and that will benefit us."
Chaffee will play top-seeded Meadow Heights on Monday in the Mississippi Valley Conference Tournament at 8:30 p.m.
Scott Central will host Oran on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
CARDWELL -- The Risco Tigers recorded their fourth win in a row Friday night when they dismantled the Southland Rebels 89-40. The win also was their fourth Tri-County conference victory of the season.
Kyle Carlisle led the onslaught for the visitors with 24 points while teammates Greg Lasters added 16 and Luke Carter contributed 16. Nine players got into the scoring act for Risco.
For Southland, two players reached double figures: Gabe Haugh had 12 and Zack Matheny scored 10.
Tiger Coach Brandon Blankenship called it a total team effort, and was happy that his team was able to work on some different things in the contest.
Risco will host North Pemiscot in their next encounter on Tuesday.

Victoria Duval's Perfect U.S. Open Night
Relax. Breathe. Don't get ahead of yourself. Take a moment and enjoy Victoria Duval's wonderful evening at the U.S. Open, and don't think about the future.
In Flushing on Tuesday, Duval, a 17-year-old American with a squeaky voice, scored her first victory in the main draw of a Grand Slam, and it was an impressive one. She beat 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 in a stressful battle of nerves.
"I think I played amazing today," she said. "It was incredible. The whole match was just really an incredible match and I'm happy I pulled through."
Leading up to the Open, Duval spent a week training at Nick Bollettieri's academy in Florida, where she had once trained as a junior, Bollettieri said. She said she was recently training with her brothers and in the past spent a year at the USTA's player development program in Boca Raton, Fla. Bollettieri nervously ran between courts—he had another match to watch, he said—and pulled for a Duval victory.
"I was so excited I had to run to the bathroom several times," he said in a telephone interview. "A win like this can do an awful lot for her career. If the serve gets better and better, she will be one hell of a player." Something that could help: a bit more height. Duval said she is two inches shy of six feet, but has been having "a couple growth spurts."
Stosur, who knows a thing or two about upsets, having beaten Serena Williams in the 2011 final, hardly played her best. She made 56 unforced errors, 10 of them double faults (her serve is one of the best in women's tennis). Duval took advantage with strong groundstrokes and solid tactics that put Stosur in awkward positions.
"Credit to her," Stosur said. "I'm not going to be a sore loser and say she didn't do anything. But, you know, I think I certainly helped her out there today, that's for sure."
"It's a great feeling to beat a past champion," Duval said. "Although she didn't play nearly her best today, I played amazing, so I'll take it."
Duval was born in Miami but lived in Haiti for much of her early childhood. She nearly lost her father, Jean-Maurice, in the earthquake that hit the country in 2010. At the time, Duval was training in Atlanta, while her father was at home running his medical practice and was trapped under rubble for 11 hours. He later escaped and survived, but has since been unable to work.
"Emotionally it was hard at first," she said. "But he's as happy as he's ever been. He had a couple surgeries that helped take the pain away."
Four years ago, at the 2009 U.S. Open, another 17-year-old American took the U.S. Open by surprise. Melanie Oudin reached the quarterfinals that year, beating Elena Dementieva, the No. 4 seed, and Maria Sharapova along the way. Since then, Oudin has struggled mightily. She lost in the first round of the qualifying tournament this year.
Oudin was a far more seasoned pro than Duval. Earlier in 2009, she reached the fourth round of Wimbledon. Before Tuesday evening, Duval had played just one match at a Grand Slam tournament: a loss to Kim Clijsters last year, also at the U.S. Open. As Bollettieri put it, it's earlier than early.
"These are the type of signs that a youngster needs, but you have to understand, one or two wins is not enough to make you a star. There's lots more hard work," he said. "But they're a very conservative family, so I don't think they'll let this get out of proportion. They know that this is a new breakthrough, but it will not go to her head."
Duval said it wouldn't either, but she was allowing herself one indulgence. "I heard that Li'l Wayne tweeted me," she said. "I need to go check that out."

Get a 'Close Encounter' with a Classic Pepsi Ad
When Pepsi released their 1984 now classic ad 'Close Encounter', aliens and UFO's were all the rage thanks to Steven Spielberg and his blockbuster movies E.T. and Close Encounters. Pepsi capitalized on the trend and made a memorable spot that pays homage to both films. As part of Pepsi's huge marketing campaign 'The Choice of a New Generation', this TV ad was an important component in Pepsi's strategy to take market share from Coca-Cola.

Apple: Citi Analyst Rushes to Defense, Citing Supply Issues
Wow, everybody's turning on Apple today!
CNBC's Halftime Report just did a segment with a couple of guys, including BGC analyst Colin Gillis, who were actively trashing the stock. It's down 3% at last check to $383, bucking a broader market rally, on worries about iPad sales, iPhone demand and more.
Citigroup analyst Richard Gardner, however, has ridden to the company's defense, saying today's stock beatdown "represents a buying opportunity."
He says Citi does see some supply-chain constraints that could be slowing down iPhone production, but dismisses them (again, reminiscent of the supply-chain worries that struck back in September) and reiterates his "buy" rating and $500 price target:
It does appear that Apple is experiencing constraints on flexible printed circuit boards for iPhone manufactured in Thailand. Three companies (MFLX, Fujikura and NOK) represent approximately two-thirds of global production of flexible PCBs used to connect different subassemblies within the iPhone. Citi's Japan team is currently assessing the precise impact of the Thai floods on 4CQ supply of this component.
Citi analyst Kevin Chang believes that Hon Hai's worst case shipments of iPhone are 30M in 4CQ11. When added to the 2-3M that Hon Hai built in 3CQ11, this still yields a 32-33M build plan for 4CQ11, which is well above the sell-side consensus of 25-28M.
Kevin believes that Hon Hai built 12M iPhones in October alone, which means that builds could decline meaningfully in November and December and still yield >30M for the full quarter.
Kevin Chang also believes that after reducing iPhone orders in mid-October because of this supply issue, Apple re-raised the orders within the last few days, suggesting that they have managed to find some alternative supply.
We remain confident in our published iPhone estimates for 4CQ11 (28M) and continue to see potential for upside. Finally, we want to be clear that this is not a demand issue, but rather a supply issue.
On iPad, we continue to forecast 14.5M units for 4CQ11 and remain comfortable with this estimate. However, we note that iPad is only responsible for 10-15% of Apple's total gross profit in 4CQ11 versus iPhone at 65%. Moreover, even if iPad is 1-1.5M units below our estimate for the quarter, Apple is on track to sell 38M+ iPads in CY11 versus 15M in CY10, in our view. This is impressive performance, in our opinion, considering that the global consumer notebook market is just 135M units per year.

I am not going to lie; I have been having a rough go around. It is a hard thing to reprogram your mind. It is a hard thing to think that you can just snap out of feeling depressed. It is not that easy. I have major highs and when I am low, they can be intensely low. I have not felt like this in quite a while so it is making it much worse to have familiar/unfamiliar feelings. I am feeling a shift taking place. However, I am so fatigued and mentally exhausted that it feels like I will never be the same again.
These are only feelings though.
The shift that I am finding so difficult is changing my thinking about feelings. I have always been influenced into thinking that if you are feeling depressed, anxious, not the life of the party, etc… Then those are all bad and they need to be turned into happy, jolly, ecstatic, whatever. Happy = Good and acceptance. Sad = Bad and not accepted. (Sad has all of the perceived negative emotions generalized into it, just to give clarity of definition there.) To sit here feeling depressive types of emotions and not condemn myself for it feels foreign. It is a battle that I happen to be winning, so that is good.
It is lonely.
Most people do not want to hang around a person who is not the happy-go-lucky-ball-of-sunshine-bursting-out-yellow-smiley faces all the time. I have realized that is ok too. Sometimes people need that, sometimes people need dark-sad-dreary-droopy dog days too. They are only emotions and feelings and the brain communicating things, for me it happens to be that I have not had any alone time and I am exhausted. Let me clarify, I have been unable to do anything after the kids are in bed other than sit and stare at the TV. I hate that unless it is something that I want to watch, but I do not want to watch anything, really. I had to stop reading my book because it was feeding into my sadness. I find that difficult to accept, these down emotions and my anxiety, because they can be so consuming and painful. I just want them to hurry up and go away, but I tend to do the very opposite of what I need to do in order to find the balance in my brain.
I seem to gravitate toward damaging triggers as if to feed the pain, anxiety, and confusion.
I also tend to forget every single time that I do this. :-/ For instance, when I hid my phone the other day I caused myself even more anxiety by not listening to my messages. I created scenarios that were not real and played fabricated messages in my head. When my mind started saying things like, "My aunt is angry at me. She never wants to talk to me again. She is ignoring me on facebook." (I think I need to block myself from facebook on many days. It is such a trigger for me and I fall into it every time.) I ran to my phone and called her. I was almost in a full-blown panic attack when I called her. I was breathing heavily and managed to get the words out about my anxiety.
I told her, "I am calling you because I having anxiety and thinking that you are angry with me."
She started laughing and said, "Oh, you would know if I was angry with you!" I know this very well. If she is upset, she does not ignore a person. She does not play mind games. She flat out tells the person what she is thinking and feeling. This is what I adore about her. It is also how I knew that I was making it all up. After talking to her for a while, and her telling me that I am going to have to get some thicker skin with the family, I felt much better. It is a lot for me to process with my family. It is going to take time and I need to take baby steps. (What About Bob, love!) I need to accept that and stop putting so much pressure on myself.
I have done several things differently this time.
I have managed to take hold of my negative looping. I have been able to allow my emotions be emotions, and I took control of my anxiety by calling my aunt. Big steps. I did not sink, hide, and keep myself cut off from the world. (very long) Although, I confess that I am kind of rolling my eyes at myself and feeling a little foolish for still having these issues. For some reason I feel like I should be over all of this by now. I attack myself with thoughts of how this is so ridiculous. I think that is the wrong way to look at it – I do not condemn others who have similar reoccurring issues as myself. I do not judge them or think that they should be "over it" by now.
Why do I do that to myself?
I definitely do not do that to Daniel, Ariel, or Joshua. I tend to give a lot of leniency to kids and other people. I need to work on that with myself. I was sidetracked – can you tell? My initial post was going to be short and about today. I am assuming that I needed to write all of that out. I am finished for the moment. Here is what I wanted to share. I felt like I needed to get away from my computer today. I felt that I needed to spend more time with the kids. I also felt that I needed to get out of the house. I cannot stand feeling trapped in the house.
I asked Daniel if he would like to go see the river today.
He said, "No." I told him that we really should try to go and asked him if he would like to go see the library too – there is one right next to the river area that we were going to. He asked, "Why do we need to go there?" I told him that we would get his yogurt on the way back because he was out of yogurt. He said, "I don't want to." Then, he curled up on the floor and the blood rushed out of his face. I picked him up, put him in my lap, and reminded him of how we went to the comic book store the other day and he had fun.
He asked if I would sit in the back with him.
I told him that I could not because I had to drive, but that I would move Joshua in the back to sit next to him. After a few more minutes of reminding him that he did not get sick, and that everything went really well the last time in the car, he finally agreed. He had no problems getting into his car seat, and he did not feel sick at all. We drove to a few different places and he did great. He is still anxious, and will be for a while. However, now I have these positive experiences to remind him of. He was very happy and had a great time – all of us did.
I was so happy to see my good friend the river again.
I love the water no matter how murky or smelly it may be. The river was a faithful companion of mine as a child and I will never forget that. The sun gleaming on the ripples, are pure grand delight. I tried to teach the kids how to skip rocks, but we could not find any flat ones. Instead, they tried to throw rocks across the river to the other state… over yonder.
The library is a smaller one.
It is bigger than the one where we used to live and much nicer. Definitely, more quiet and no flickering fluorescent lights that make us all dizzy and confused. We had fun there; I will be taking them to the much larger one in the next few weeks. We even went to the store and all went very well. Ariel, Joshua, and me played a new game called Quiddler Deluxe. I didn't mean too, but I ended up winning the whole thing because I got cards that spelled QUARK! Lol! Awesome! Joshua was not at all pleased, Ariel looked rather shocked by the whole event. She was winning before that happened. Oops! It has been a great day, even though I am feeling sickly and very tired.
I am off here are some pictures!
There is a picture in here of Joshua with his pants full of stuffed animals. The story behind it, he wants pants like Flea's stuffed animal pants from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Lol! He told me that he had to do that because he does not have the pins to put them on his pants. Ariel and Daniel want a pair now.

Welcome to the official homepage of Hanoi Motorbike Rental! – a motorbike rental business based in Hanoi, Northern Vietnam. You finally found us because you want to hire reliable manual clutch dirt bikes, road bikes, scooters for riding on long distance trips or in Hanoi from a reliable shop (outfit) in Vietnam.
Hanoi Motorbike Rental is one part of the larger Offroad Vietnam Adventure Travel, a company that offers premier outdoor adventures in Vietnam such as motorbiking, cycling, 4×4 and cruises in small groups. Unlike most of travel companies in Vietnam, we don't offer classic tours in large groups by bus. This website focuses on the rental business of Honda dirt bikes, road bikes, scooters from 100cc to 250cc for your guided or unguided motorbike tours through Vietnam. All bikes provided are Japanese Honda brand, no Chinese fakes or other brands. As a note, Honda doesn't sponsor our business.
Our motorbike rental business was founded in late 2006 by two local motorcycle riders who realized an increasing demand of riders from allover the world about a special way of exploring Vietnam on two wheels. When we started our business, Russian Minsk 2-stroke 125cc was the only choice. This bike was under-powered, unreliable and used 5-6l/100km. We know time for this "iron buffalo" was over and there should be a better choice. We opted out 4-stroke Honda larger road and dirt bikes from 125 to 250cc. We own Honda bikes for many years. Every Vietnamese knows that this is the best choice because parts are easy, bikes are reliable and one thing says it all: "Honda" means "motorbike" in Vietnamese!

MORAGA -- Dennis Wanken will probably never be known for being terse.
Several minutes into an answer, his wife, Eleni, abruptly cuts him off.
"Keep it short. Get to the point," she says.
"See, we're having an argument here," Dennis replies.
If the Wankens get their way, their disagreements could take place on a dais, and on the record. They are both seeking seats on the Moraga Town Council, running on the slogan, "Elect Team Wanken."
And they may be one of the only married couples in the East Bay to ever run concurrently for the same public office.
It's not unusual for married couples to share a life in politics. Mary Piepho is on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and her husband, David, serves on the Discovery Bay Community Services District. Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates' wife, Loni Hancock, represents Berkeley in the state Senate.
It's not even unusual for this election. In Fremont, Diana and Vladimir Rodriguez are running for school board and City Council seats, respectively.
But for the same council, at the same time?
"In my 44 years in this business, I've never heard of it," said Don Blubaugh, executive director of the Contra Costa Mayors' Conference and a former city manager for Walnut Creek, Fremont and Martinez. "That's not to suggest that maybe it hasn't happened."
The Wankens, who run a number of schools throughout the East Bay, have been elected before, but not together.
Both are former school board members -- Eleni with the Acalanes school district and Dennis with the Moraga district. Dennis also ran unsuccessfully for the Town Council in 2008.
The Wankens insist they will not vote as a bloc, and say there are issues -- they gave the proposed Dollar Tree store as an example -- on which they disagree (she is for it; he has more reservations).
"Sometimes we get in arguments in front of prospective clients because of our differing viewpoints," Dennis said.
"We're both passionate," Eleni said. "That's what saves us."
"That's our common denominator," Dennis said. "We're both passionate, and some people mistake that for thinking alike."
Only two seats on the Moraga council are up for re-election, meaning if the Wankens want to serve together they'll have to beat incumbent Mayor Ken Chew and Councilman Dave Trotter, as well as fellow challenger Seth Freeman.
Chew called the fact the Wankens are running as a ticket intriguing, but said his focus in the campaign is on his accomplishments and the issues facing Moraga.
But he said he had concerns the situation could raise open-government issues. If the Wankens were elected and privately discussed an issue before a council subcommittee in which only one of them is a member, Chew said, it could violate the Brown Act, the state law that regulates public meetings.
That may be the case, but such a situation is just as likely if two very good friends served on a council together, said Terry Francke, an attorney with open government advocacy group Californians Aware.
"Ultimately, the Brown Act depends on the personal integrity of the members," Francke said. "If they're not going to be honest and if they're determined to violate the law, then it doesn't make much difference what the relationships are otherwise."
The Wankens say they want to bring more openness and honesty to the town's government and have always leaned on each other for support, especially when their home fell victim to a landslide in 1998.
"This is what a relationship is based on," Dennis said. "You make it through the good times as well as the bad."

"Red Cliff" Director John Woo On Who Gives More Script Notes: Hollywood Executives or the Chinese Government
For the historical epic "Red Cliff," director John Woo — who was born in China but fled to Hong Kong with his family as a child — returned to his native country to shoot his first movie on the mainland. (Read a longer story about "Red Cliff" here.) The new movie recounts a famous battle during China's Three Kingdoms period circa 208 A.D. Though the Communist country is known for censoring material that depicts its government negatively, Woo diplomatically said that he didn't encounter any problems while shooting his $80 million film. In fact, he had soldiers helping on the set–and he says that was a good thing.
How was working with the Chinese government on "Red Cliff"?
Our production got a huge amount of support from the government. Everything was so easy.
The Chinese government routinely asks films to submit shooting scripts in advance of production. Did they want to see your script?
No, I just walked into their office and said I want to make a movie called 'Red Cliff' and they said, 'let's do it.' Later, we sent the whole script, but originally, it was just the treatment. I didn't have to take any advice from anyone. I just closed my door and did my work. We also had the army's support, and had over 700 soldiers working on the set. Some played fighters, other helped to build the roads on location.
Why did you want to shoot this in China?
There are so many talented film people in China, which is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to make this film. I had met several young aspiring filmmakers in China, and they were all eager to learn and work on a Hollywood-type movie. Because I've been working in Hollywood for over 16 years, I've learned so much, especially about technology, and I wanted to bring my knowledge to Asia and teach the young people.
What are the Chinese facilities like?
The government is more open now and they really want to do good business, so that's why they've built a very large studio, with around 60 sound stages. It's the most modern and expensive facility. They also have an animation department and modern buildings. They really want to do good business and welcome foreign productions. Another thing — in the past, Chinese audiences usually watched DVDs or foreign films, but now, as demonstrated by "Red Cliff" and some other Chinese-shot films, they're opening up to seeing all types of films. The government is noticing, and now they are building 3-D theaters as well. So business is growing.
Who gives more script notes — Hollywood execs or the Chinese government?
U.S. studios usually have a lot of concerns and it takes a long time to set up a project. There are so many people involved, it becomes hard to make a decision. There are so many meetings. Anyway, there's not a lot of good scripts nowadays in Hollywood — you can see it onscreen. That said, I still like working in Hollywood and have two projects in development. I want to remake the French classic "Le Samourai." The other is about Marco Polo.
Now that you're in your 60s, how do you feel about the progression of your career?
I don't know how to describe it. I love movies, but I'm still learning. I also feel as if I have a duty to try my best to help young filmmakers. Right now, I'm producing two movies by two Taiwanese directors. I also want to produce a movie for the young people of China. That's what I see myself doing for the rest of my life.

Designed by George Lee, founder of Le Mouton Noir & Co., this ingenious product makes tea drinking feel cutting edge. By the introduction of two small cuts into the rim of a simple white tea mug, your favorite tea bag can be tied around the resulting cleat. Never again will you have to worry about losing the string. We only wonder why no one thought of this before! While it might have been easier to tie the string around a protruding cleat, this far more subtle one has the advantage of safety and durability. But be careful how you hold it! If you're left-handed and grab the mug by its handle, you might get hot tea dribbling through the cuts in the rim and down your chin or onto your shirt. That said, we still like the novelty of Lee's design. Yet, at this price, we won't be buying any tie teas for the home, although we'd happily give and accept them as gifts.

Health & Baby
Hot Liquid Ups BPA From Plastic Bottles
Jan. 30, 2008 -- Pouring boiling liquid into reusable water bottles or baby bottles made of polycarbonate plastic causes a much faster release of the estrogen-mimicking chemical bisphenol A, new research shows.
University of Cincinnati researchers reported that exposure to boiling water caused polycarbonate drinking bottles to release bisphenol A (BPA) up to 55 times more rapidly than exposure to cool or temperate water.
The jury is still out on whether BPA exposure poses a health risk to humans, even though the question was the subject of two expert panel reviews in the U.S. last year.
More than 6 billion pounds of bisphenol A are produced and used each year in the manufacture of the resins used to line food cans and in polycarbonate products. Almost everyone has measurable amounts of the man-made chemical in their blood, the CDC says.
It has long been known that BPA can cause genetic damage in lab animals, but it is not clear if the levels of leached BPA from polycarbonate bottles and other products are high enough to pose a threat to humans.
BPA at High Temperatures
Scott M. Belcher, PhD, who led the study team, tells WebMD that while there is little direct evidence that BPA poses a risk to humans, many experts believe that it does.
"The consensus of the scientific community is that there is a clear reason to proceed cautiously," he says.
But Steven G. Hentges, PhD, who is executive director of the American Chemical Council's Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group, disagrees.
Hentges tells WebMD that the finding that BPA leaching accelerates at high liquid temperatures is nothing new, having been reported in numerous previous studies.
"The bisphenol A levels seen under heating conditions are still extraordinarily low and far below levels that have been determined to be safe by government bodies," he says.
The popularity of reusable, plastic polycarbonate drinking bottles has grown with rising concerns about the environmental impact of disposable plastic bottles.
Plastic water and soda bottles manufactured for one-time use are not made with polycarbonate plastic. But many baby bottles and those hard water bottles sold in outdoor and athletic stores are.

wish i could do something like tac again
tonight i was wishing i could start another little online magazine, like "the allston chronicle" that my friends and i worked on back in 2001-2002. i think we only published 13 monthly issues, and it wasn't all that much in terms of content, but its heart was in the right place. that was very neighborhood oriented in name at least. if i did something now i would try to make it more designed and beautiful and shocking, and maybe more filled with thoughts.
i consider still the idea of naming the periodical in connection with the place where i live. i dunno if that's a smart idea. i mean, lots of people who don't live in new york do read "the new yorker" and "the new york times". but i dunno. remember why i stopped publishing the allston chronicle? it was because i was leaving allston and moving to amsterdam. also, the contributors in this case would be in different parts of the world.

MIAMI - His own glove back in hand, Kerry Wood keeps catching compliments. Especially the one about how he and Mark Prior are going to pitch their way to a World Series championship, the way Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling did.
Only one problem. It's not properly respectful - to Arizona's dynamic duo, that is.
"In the past three or four weeks, I've heard enough of it," Wood said during the Chicago Cubs' workout Thursday, a day before Game 3 of the National League championship series against the Florida Marlins.
"I think it's a little unfair for those guys for people to be comparing us to them," he said. "Obviously, we haven't done what those guys have done throughout their careers for this game, so we have a long ways to go."
Maybe, but they've done a pretty good impression lately, posting all of the Cubs' wins in this postseason.
Wood and Prior also have put the emphasis on all the outstanding young pitching in the championship series - even though it was difficult to tell this week with so many balls flying out of Wrigley Field as the teams split the first two games.
Consider this: The eight pitchers scheduled to start in the NLCS are in their 20s. Average age for Wood, Prior, Carlos Zambrano and Matt Clement of the Cubs and Josh Beckett, Brad Penny, Mark Redman and Dontrelle Willis of the Marlins: 25.
Quite a contrast to the graybeard rotations in the ALCS, where Boston and New York feature six starters in their 30s and two in their 40s. Average age for Roger Clemens, David Wells, Mike Mussina, Andy Pettitte, Pedro Martinez, Derek Lowe, Tim Wakefield and John Burkett: 35.
"You look at the young pitchers in this series, to me that's the future of baseball," Marlins reliever Chad Fox said.
Cubs vs. Marlins
The Series: Series tied 1-1.
Game 3: Chicago (Wood 14-11) at Florida (Redman 14-9), 7:18 p.m. today.
TV/Radio: KCIT-TV, 7 p.m.; KPUR (1440-AM), 6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. only.
Added Cubs manager Dusty Baker: "There are a lot of good young pitchers out there, and there is going to be some great pitching here in the next decade."
Wood agreed about the young pitching talent in this series.
"But talent is one thing and knowing how to pitch is another thing," he said.
So far, Wood and Prior have shown both. After forgetting to bring his glove, the 26-year-old Wood borrowed Prior's and won the decisive Game 5 of the division series at Atlanta.
Then the 23-year-old Prior shut down the Marlins on Wednesday in Game 2.
"When you have a guy go out and throw a gem the night before you pitch, you want to go out and do the same or better," Wood said.
Wood, who will face Redman as the series shifts to Pro Player Stadium, did a better job of packing for this trip.
"I got my glove," he said. "I brought two of them."
Redman, like most everyone else around baseball, has noticed what Wood and Prior have done.
"They've accomplished a lot at such a young age and there's only a bright future ahead of them," he said.
Wood has excelled against the Marlins, going 4-0 lifetime.
He was at his best this year, throwing a two-hitter and a three-hitter and striking out 20 in those outings.
Redman faces the challenge of slowing down Sammy Sosa, Alex Gonzalez and the Cubs, who have hit seven homers and have scored 20 runs - only Baltimore (21) in the 1970 ALCS against Minnesota totaled more runs in the first two games of a postseason series.
Ivan Rodriguez, Miguel Cabrera and the Marlins are swinging well, too, with 23 hits, including six homers.
"I think you'll probably have some lower-scoring games here than you would at Wrigley," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said.

Summer Reading Spurs Creativity
Once again, our Summer Reading program was a success. This year's theme was "Get Creative" for children up to age 12, and the teen theme was "Express Yourself." In addition to reading, we encouraged kids to write, draw, paint, act and do other creative activities. For the second year in a row, there were also special components for babies/toddlers and small groups.
Patrons at each library and bookmobile stop enjoyed activities led by our staff members and entertainment from performers like Dr. Gesundheit (a professional clown) and storytellers Bobby Norfolk and Priscilla Howe.
Region-wide, 4,000 children ages 12 and under signed up for Summer Reading, a 7 percent increase over last year. Also, 280 teens signed up, a 40 percent increase over last year, and 80 finished, a 44 percent increase!
If you're still interested in books about art, craft, music, dance and theater, check out the booklists on our summer reading page.
