一杯鮮奶
一個窮苦學生，為了付學費，挨家挨戶地推銷貨品。
到了晚上，發現自己的肚子很餓，而口袋裡只剩下一個小錢。
然而當一位年輕貌美的女孩子打開門時，他卻失去了勇氣。
他沒敢討飯，卻只要求一杯水喝。
女孩看出來他飢餓的樣子，於是給他端出一大杯鮮奶來。
他不慌不忙地將它喝下。而且問說，『應付多少錢？』
而她的答覆卻是：「你不欠我一分錢。母親告訴我們，不要為善事要求回報。」
於是他說：「那麼我只有由衷地謝謝了」
當郝武德‧凱禮離開時，不但覺得自己的身體強壯了不少，而且對人的信心也增強了起來。
他原來已經陷入絕境，準備放棄一切的。
家人終於將她送進大都市，以便請專家來檢查她罕見的病情。
他們請到了郝武德‧凱禮醫生來診斷。
當他聽說，病人是某某城的人時，他的眼中充滿了奇特的光輝。
他立刻穿上醫生服裝，走向醫院大廳，進了她的病房。
醫生一眼就認出了她。
他立刻回到診斷室，並且下定決心要盡最大的努力來挽救她的性命。
從那天起，他特別觀察她的病情。
經過一次漫長的奮鬥之後，終於讓她起死回生，戰勝了病魔。
最後，批價室將出院的帳單送到醫生手中，請他簽字。
醫生看了帳單一眼，然後在帳單邊緣上寫了幾個字，就將帳單轉送到她的病房裡。
她不敢打開帳單，因為她確定，需要她一輩子才能還清這筆醫藥費。
但最後她還是打開看了，而且帳單邊緣上的一些東西，特別引起她的注目。
她看到了這麼一句話：「一杯鮮奶已足以付清全部的醫藥費！」
簽署人：郝武德‧凱禮醫生。
眼中氾濫著淚水，她心中高興地祈禱著：「感謝上蒼，感謝您的慈愛，藉由眾人的心和手，不斷地在傳播著。」

賓拉登說:中國是全球唯一絕對不能惹的國家!!
原因是這樣的:基地組織曾派出七名恐怖分子襲擊中國,結果:
一人在炸立交橋時轉暈橋上,
一人在炸公交車時沒擠上車,
一人在炸超市時,炸彈遙控器被盜,
一人在炸政府大樓時,被保安狂揍:"叫你討薪,叫你上訪";
一人成功地炸礦,死傷數百人,潛回基地後,半年沒見任何新聞報道,遂被基地組織以"撒謊罪"處決了;
一人曾嘗試炸廣州,結果剛一出火車站,就把炸藥包給飛車黨搶了,半天沒緩過神;
一人去炸中國鋼鐵基地鐵嶺,被趙本山呼悠了;
最近派一女恐怖分子去炸河南,結果被騙做小姐

An Italian Boy's Confessional
"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl".
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Tony Funacelli?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Tony, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Teresa Volpe?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Maria Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, Tony Funacelli, and I admire that. But you've sinned and you have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."
Tony walks back to his pew. His friend Nino slides over and whispers, "Well, what'd you get?"
"4 months' vacation and five good leads......."

Guys, help!
Following is the lyrics of a song—"漁陽鼙鼓動地來". Originally the idea was from the poem, "長恨歌", you know, the romance and governance or may be some politics between 楊貴妃 and 唐明皇.
歌詞如下：
> 漁陽鼓, 起邊關, 西望長安犯, > 六宮粉黛舞袖正翩翩, 怎料到邊臣反, 哪管他社稷殘！> 只愛美人醇酒, 不愛江山。兵威驚震歌舒翰, 舉手破潼關！> 遙望滿天烽火, 指日下長安. > 漁陽鼓, 起邊關, 西望長安犯, > 六宮粉黛舞袖正翩翩, 怎料到邊臣反, 哪管他社稷殘！
Could you write down some interpretation (English, please) of the lyrics, not direct translation word by word (that would be hard), just the meaning of it.
A couple of lines from any of you would be much appreciated and very helpful. I'll try to organize them to be a short story or something.
PS, I'm in a choir of a Taiwanese group. We need the English explanation of this song, thank you.

Happy Father's Day!
Sorry, I'm not a father. On this father's day, no one send me the touching emotional slide show with beautiful music. I went to the internet to get this for you guys.
Father's Day History
Father's Day, 3rd Sunday in June. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.

Endocrine Disrupters
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18881799/site/newsweek/page/0/
We touched the subject of drinking water safety a few days ago. I expect that controlling "endocrine disrupters" is going to be a hot topic for the US water industry in the near future. There is almost no regulation about these contaminants in the US. Japanese and European are at least 10 years ahead in this area. You can find many links if you "Google" these two words.
Have a nice read.

淑瑩姐, 別忘了.....
好久沒有看到我們班寶之ㄧ,淑瑩姐,上我們的部落格, 跟我們聊上幾句或貼文章了.
幾個星期前,母親節時,她了封email給大家, 信裡面曾提到,下次的父親節 (美國的父親節是6月17日星期天;台灣的端午節是6月19日,現在有四天連續假期,6月23日週六補上班), 她會寄給各位同學,祝大家父親節快樂.
我想若是她能在父親節時, 到我們部落格寫點東西,介紹近況, 或貼點照片,或貼文章, 那麼很多同學在父親節時將會很高興;如果不忙的話,可以像芳蘭姐一樣, 常留言那就更棒了.
另外之前有很多同學問我 cinderella 是誰? cinderella 就是我們的淑瑩姐, 至於芳蘭姐就是wandering65. 這樣大家可瞭了.
之前在與同學聯絡時, 大家都會問 xxxx是誰? 那yyyy又是誰? zzzz又是誰? 飛劍兄(明炫), 您比較厲害,想想看, 有什麼方法可以解決這問題,讓比較少上我們部落格的同學, 或雖然常上但仍有不清楚誰是誰的同學, 可以互相知道誰是誰.

For the golfers - A very sad day
A Very Sad Story
Dear Abby,
I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I
have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on
me. The usual signs......... phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up.
My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although
when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work,
you don't know them."
I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I
usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject
with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth,
but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.
Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs
so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home
from a night out with "the girls".
It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that
the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack
right by the club head.
Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the
pro shop where I bought it?
Please help,
Disturbed Husband

Southern humor, old but still good
Kentucky:
The owner of a golf course in Kentucky was confused about paying an
invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called
her into his office and said, "You graduated from the University of Kentucky
and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much
would you take off?" The secretary thought a moment, and then replied,
"Everything but my earrings." You gotta love those Kentucky women.
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ***
Alabama :
A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for
the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the
weight of an eight-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked."
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail,"
the successful hunter replied.
"You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" t hey inquired.
"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!"
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ***
Louisiana:
A senior at Louisiana was overheard saying... "When the end of the
world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana." When asked why, he replied he'd
rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than
in the rest of the civilized world.
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ***
Mississippi:
The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to
his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truc k from the parking
lot!"
Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?"
The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* **
Tennessee:
A Tennessee State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-65. The trooper
asked, "Got any ID?"
The driver replied, "Bout whut?"
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ***
A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the
road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one
behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the
scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back.
He asked the fellow what the problem was.
The man replied, "I have a flat tire."
The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"
The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front
and flares in the back. I never did understand it neither."

美股的 cree 生產 led, 有分析師看會漲一倍
最近比較忙, 但也會每天到我們的部落格看看.
這幾天看到一則投資訊息, 雖然忙的很,也應該告訴大家.
美國科技研究公司 分析師 andrew huang 看好生產 led (發光二極體 Light-emitting diodes) 的 cree 公司, 現在27.03元,他看好未來12個月會到50元. 他估美國未來可能會限制或取消白熾燈泡使用(Huang thinks there will be legislation at the federal level this year “to limit the use of incandescent bulbs and eventually to eliminate the use of incandescent bulbs.” )
led 這產業我也非常看好, cree 是領導廠商之一 , 但一直獲利不高, 不過基本面對 ,產業遠景對, 技術面也看好, 如有拉回到25到26(這價位我不知會不會來)應可買一點試試. 能漲到哪裡,就看各位的運氣跟野心.
台灣的領導廠商晶電 2448 ,是世界級上游晶粒大廠, 今年eps 4.5元,明年eps 6.5元 現在137元; 億光2393 是晶電的母公司,也是led的中下游領導大廠, 今年7.5元到8元,股價132元,可惜這兩檔股票短線來看都不便宜了, 但中線的潛力還有.就要看有沒有好的進場點.
對了,四月時介紹宏達電2498 ,當時在500元附近, 我們說會到600元 ,經整理之後會到635元. 今天盤中最高到643元 , 收盤609元. 如果楊福山老伙仔或我們同學有買,以後的走勢我就不負責了.
哈 , 老伙仔,他又沒有付顧問費, 又沒像幫長空飛劍一樣,幫我介紹像落雁嫂這麼好的老婆,管他那麼多.

Cree initiated with "buy"
Friday, June 01, 2007 11:35:08 AM ET
American Technology Research
NEW YORK, June 1 (newratings.com) - Analyst Andrew Huang of American Technology Research initiates coverage of Cree Inc (CREE.NAS) with a "buy" rating. The target price is set to $50.
In a research note published this morning, the analyst mentions that the company is expected to be a prime beneficiary of the anticipated higher adoption of LED lighting going forward. According to the analyst, Cree’s revenue growth is likely to accelerate in 2007-2009, aided by the anticipated transition towards LED lighting. The company is expected to report a sequential improvement in its gross margins in the June quarter, American Technology Research adds.
