IN World War II the neuroses which result from combat have been designated as "combat exhaustion." This terminology implies two fundamental things: First, these neuroses are due primarily to combat, and, second, they develop after a period of combat sufficiently long to produce a significant degree of exhaustion.1 Through misunderstanding many people use the term indiscriminately, and confusion has arisen; they include under this head the neuroses which develop during the first few days of combat, and even the disorders of behavior of men who have never experienced actual combat. The usefulness of this term in distinguishing the more stable and willing from the unstable and unwilling personalities is thereby lost. This is unfortunate, since a substantial percentage of men are of the former type and have broken down under conditions of continuous long and severe stress which infrequently, if ever, obtained before. The number of early breakdowns has

The present invention relates in general to accelerometers and in particular to a new and useful fiber optic accelerometer which uses an optical fiber that is clamped between two corrugated plates to measure vibration. One of the plates acts as an inertial mass which is carried by a flexible diaphragm and which moves under the influence of vibrational forces to apply a bending force on the optical fiber. Light passing through the optical fiber varies in accordance with the bending of the fiber. This variation in the light is measured at a remote location, as an indication of the acceleration.
Accelerometers are devices which are used to measure shock and vibration. They consist of an inertial mass which is attached to a casing by a spring. When the casing is attached to a structure whose vibration (acceleration) is to be measured, the vibration of the casing is transmitted to the inertial mass. The inertial force, which is proportional to the vibrational level acts on the spring. In the case of piezoelectric accelerometers, a piezoelectric crystal acts as a spring. The inertial mass acts on the crystal and induces a charge which is proportional to the force. The charge, which gives a measurement of the vibrational level, is measured. In the case of the piezoresistive or strain gage accelerometer, the deformation of the spring caused by inertial force is measured using strain gages.
Both types of accelerometers can be used for room temperature applications. At high temperatures, however, only the piezoelectric accelerometers can be used. These, however, show limitations when used in pressurized water reactor (PWR) environments.
Tests have been performed to determine the performance of piezoelectric and other commercially available accelerometers, in hostile PWR environments. In these environments, pressures in excess of 2,500 psi, temperatures of up to about 700� F. and corrosive chemicals can be expected. These tests show that most conventional piezoelectric accelerometers do not survive such conditions. The accelerometers with synthetic crystals failed within a period of a few days. Only one accelerometer passed the qualifying tests. This accelerometer contains a natural crystal as opposed to a synthetic one, and costs about $5,000.
Accelerometers which use fiber optic systems are known. One example is found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,408,495 to Couch et al. Couch et al measures the displacement of a vibrating object with respect to a fixed reference. No provision is made to measure the absolute acceleration of a vibrating object however. To obtain the absolute acceleration from the displacement with respect to the fixed reference requires that the relative displacement be differentiated twice. This is done with sophisticated electronics and is inherently a "noisy" operation. Any noise in the displacement signal is greatly amplified when the signal is differentiated twice to reach the acceleration value.
In requiring a fixed reference, the application of the Couch et al patent is also limited since a fixed reference is usually not available to measure vibration. In cases where the reference surface is undergoing vibration, the absolute vibration of the reference must be known.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,552,026 to Knudsen et al describes a sensor for a vortex shedding flowmeter which utilizes an optical fiber that is clamped between inner and outer tooth rings. Relative rotation between the rings as a result of the passage of vortices, causes a microbending of the optical fiber. Light passing through the optical fiber is thus varied and this variation is measured to measure the flow rate as a function of the shed vortices.
Other U.S. Patents which utilize optical fibers in accelerometers are U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,353,259 to Schneider, Jr.; 4,376,390 to Rines; 4,403,144 to Strahan et al and 4,525,626 to Kush et al.
Other devices which are interesting for their disclosure of optical mechanisms for use in measuring different parameters are U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,471,659 to Udd et al; 4,405,198 to Taylor; 4,379,226 to Sichling et al; 4,414,471 to Rines; 4,472,022 to Bearcroft et al and 4,214,485 to Berger et al.
The invention comprises an accelerometer which utilizes an optical fiber which is clamped between teeth of a base on one side and teeth of an inertial mass on an opposite side. When the base is subjected to acceleration, for example, due to vibrations of a structure to which the base is connected, the inertial mass moves with respect to the base, thereby bending the optical fibers between the teeth of the base and inertial mass. The intensity of light passing through the fiber then varies in response to the bending of the fiber. This variation in light intensity is a direct measurement of the acceleration to which the accelerometer was subjected.
The attenuation of light is caused by the microbending of the fiber and is proportional to the applied load. The applied load in turn is proportional to the vibration (acceleration) to which the accelerometer was subjected. The spring of the accelerometer in accordance with the present invention is provided by the stiffness of the diaphragm which carries the inertial mass. The diaphragm serves also to preload the fiber. This preloading is necessary to obtain a linear relationship between the light output and the spacing between the corrugated plates or surfaces that carry the teeth. The light being transmitted by the optical fiber is modulated with the amplitude of the vibration and may be detected as a function of time using a photodiode and suitable signal processing electronics.
To avoid damage to the optical fiber and other components, from corrosive fluids, a cover is connected over the base and defines a pressure sealed chamber with the base, in which the inertial mass and diaphragm are positioned. The base and cover, as well as the diaphragm and inertial mass, can be made from one parent material, for example of Inconel, to avoid corrosion and minimize thermally induced stresses. This also prevents problems such as hysteresis associated with changes in the properties of the diaphragm material, plates and any optical fiber coating. This would be true in particular when the accelerometer is used in extreme conditions such as high temperatures (about 700� F.) and high pressures (above 2000 psi).
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an accelerometer which comprises a base having a first corrugated surface with a plurality of spaced teeth thereon, an inertial mass having a second corrugated surface with a plurality of spaced teeth thereon, a diaphragm connected to the base and carrying the inertial mass with the first and second corrugated surfaces facing each other and the teeth of the inertial mass being offset with respect to the teeth of the base, and an optical fiber extending between the corrugated surfaces and clamped between the teeth of the inertial mass and the base. The inertial mass moves with respect to the base when the base is subjected to vibrations or other accelerations, to bend the optical fiber and thus attenuate light passing through the fiber. The amount of attenuation is used as a measurement of the acceleration to which the base was subjected.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an accelerometer which is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture, and one which can survive harsh conditions such as elevated temperature and pressure. Such conditions would make the accelerometer of the present invention particularly suitable for a pressurized water reactor or other type of nuclear reactor environments.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an accelerometer in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the accelerometer assembled from the parts shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the operating system of the accelerometer of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an electronic circuit that can be used for measuring the light signals from the optical fibers of the present invention and converting them to electrical signals which are proportional to the acceleration to be measured by the accelerometer.
Referring to the drawings in particular, the invention embodied in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises an accelerometer having a head 10 which is meant to be fixed firmly to a structure that is subjected to vibrations, for the purpose of measuring the acceleration to which the structure is subjected. The head 10 comprises a base 12 having a recess 18 and a cover 14 having a recess 20. The base is connected to the cover by bolts 22 so that the diaphragm can be fixed between the cover and base as shown in FIG. 2. The diaphragm 24 carries an inertial mass 26 which can be made, for example, as one part with diaphragm 24.
Side plates 16 can be bolted to the sides of the base and cover to enclose recesses 18 and 20 to form a hermetically sealed chamber in which the inertial mass 26 and diaphragm 24 are housed.
Base 12 includes a first corrugated surface 28 and inertial mass 26 includes a second corrugated surface 30. Corrugated surface 28 and 30 carry spaced apart teeth with the teeth of corrugated surface 30 being offset with respect to the teeth of corrugated surface 28.
A sensing optical fiber 32 has a U-shaped bend which is positioned between the teeth of corrugated surfaces 28 and 30. Diaphragm 24 is positioned with respect to base 12 so as to exert a selected preload on the optical fiber and thus cause microbends in the optical fiber 32 between the corrugated surfaces 28 and 30. Ends 34 of optical fiber 32 extend through parallel holes at one end of base 12. The top of the U-shaped loop of sensing fiber 32 is seated in a curved recess 36 for mechanically holding this end of the fiber.
A reference optical fiber 38 has ends 40 which extend through parallel holes in the cover 14 and form a U-shaped loop in the upper recess of the cover 14. The top of the U-shaped loop of fiber 38 sits in a curved recess 42 of the cover 14.
In operation, and with the base 12 bolted or otherwise secured to a vibrating structure (not shown), when the base is subjected to accelerations (vibrations) the inertial mass 26 moves with respect to the base due to the resiliency of diaphragm 24. This causes variations in the bending of the sensing fiber 32 which attenuates light passing through the fiber.
The reference fiber 38 receives the same input light signal as the sensing fiber 32. The two light signals are then compared with each other when they leave the optical fiber 32 and 38. In this way only the variations in light remain. The reference optical fiber 38 is used to compensate for any light source fluctuations, temperature changes, extraneous bending, shocks or other perturbations between the accelerometer head 10 optical fibers and an operating system 50 shown in FIG. 3. The reference fiber 38 negates influences which are exerted equally on reference fiber 38 and sensing fiber 32.
Turning now to FIG. 3, the operating system 50 comprises a light emitting diode 46 whose light is applied through a fiber optic coupler 48 and optical fiber connections 52, to a fiber optic coupler 54. The two ends of the reference optical fiber 38 and the two ends of the sensor optical fiber 32 are connected to the coupler 54 and extend through a protective cable 44 to the head 10. The light carried by one leg of the reference and sensing fibers is thus supplied through cable 44 to the accelerometer head. The light is then passed back through the returning legs of fibers 32 and 38 through coupler 54 and to a pair of photodiodes 56 and 58.
As shown in FIG. 4, diodes 56 and 58 are connected respectively to the negative input of amplifiers 62 and 64 in a log-ratio amplifier device 60. This may be the Analog Devices 757N Log-Ratio amplifier. The logarithms of the light intensities measured by diodes 56 and 58 are taken by the amplifiers 62 and 64. The signal from the reference fiber is then subtracted from the signal of the sensor fiber in a difference unit 66 whose output is the logarithm of the intensity ratio. This is then scaled by an output buffer amplifier 68 to provide the required calibration. The scaling (gain) is adjusted by the gain potentiometer 70. The function of the difference unit 66 may also be directly incorporated in the buffer amplifier 68. An offset null adjustment is made on the amplifier 68 by a coarse offset adjustment potentiometer 74 and a fine offset adjustment potentiometer 76 to remove the DC levels which are caused by the connectors, initial intensity ratios, and the like. The conditioning electronics of FIG. 4 are simple yet quite accurate.
The output signal terminal 80 provides a signal in millivolts which corresponds to the acceleration (g's) to which the accelerometer head was subjected.
The mathematical method which is implemented by the circuitry of FIG. 4 assumes that the acceleration signal 80 is proportional to the log of the intensity ratio as follows: ##EQU1## where IS =light intensity exiting signal channel, Ir =light intensity exiting reference channel, ISo =light intensity entering the signal channel, Iro =light intensity entering the reference channel, (acc)=the acceleration signal, K=gain.
Most of the quantities on the right-hand side of the equation are constant. By subtracting a static offset value from these, the intensity ratio may be expressed as: ##EQU2##
The result is a signal that should be independent of all external perturbations except the acceleration signal developed by the microbend sensor. These perturbations include transmission losses such as connector losses, attenuation and bending losses, cable length losses and also fluctuations in the source intensity and coupler losses.
The accelerometer constructed in accordance with the present invention has measured accelerations from -100 to +100 g over a frequency range of 0-1000 Hz. The unit can survive a shock of up to �2000 g, with no effect on its performance or calibration. With small design modifications, the accelerometer can be made to measure higher accelerations and operate over a larger frequency range. The accelerometer can operate in areas of high electromagnetic interference with no degradation of performance since the sensor is completely passive. The optical fiber cable is entirely dielectric and the electronics of the operating system may be shielded and kept remote from the accelerometer head. The accelerometer head can withstand a corrosive environment, temperatures up to 700� F. and pressures up to 3000 psi.

That's not how this works! That's not how any of this works!!
Seriously, though - a surface slice to the abdomen wouldn't impact the progress of a pregnancy. And a zombie fetus at this stage of development wouldn't have teeth. Or a jaw. It'd be the size of a grape.
I don't even think she got sliced anway - only her shirt. I think the shirt slice was supposed to unleash her motherly rage or something.

David Burnham: Mostly Broadway
For those who can't make it to New York for the start of theater season, enjoy a little bit of Broadway brought to Long Beach. David Burnham, who originated the role of Wicked's Fiyero (he molded the character in the play's developmental workshops), goes solo for this performance—and with a voice as powerful as his, he'd be stealing the spotlight from anyone else anyways. Burnham possesses the ability to take his baritone vocals into tenor territory—as an original Broadway cast member in The Light in the Piazza, as well as seasoned Tony Awards performer, award-winning Burnham shines on the stage like the true Broadway star he is. Come see what the San Francisco Chronicle called "a joyously electric performance" this week at the Carpenter Performing Art s Center.

Key Executives for Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Key Developments
Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) for injection for the treatment of lower limb spasticity in pediatric patients two years of age and older. Dysport® is the first and only FDA-approved botulinum toxin for the treatment of pediatric lower limb spasticity. Those treated with Dysport® showed statistically significant improvement in co-primary efficacy assessments: mean change from baseline in Modified Ashworth scale (MAS) in ankle plantar flexor muscle tone and mean Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) response to treatment score at Week 4 and Week 12. A majority of patients in the clinical study were eligible for retreatment between 16 and 22 weeks; however, some had a longer duration of response. This approval is based on a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international Phase III pivotal study in 235 pediatric patients (158 received Dysport® and 77 received placebo) aged 2 to 17 years with lower limb spasticity due to cerebral palsy causing dynamic equinus foot deformity. Dysport® and all botulinum toxin products have a Boxed Warning which states that the effects of the botulinum toxin may spread from the area of injection to other areas of the body, causing symptoms similar to those of botulism. Those symptoms include swallowing and breathing difficulties that can be life-threatening. Dysport® is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components; or in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s); or in patients known to be allergic to cow's milk protein. The potency Units of Dysport® are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products. Please see below for additional Important Safety Information.
Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. announced results from a Phase III study (NCT01249417) evaluating the investigational use of abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport®) for injection in the treatment of spastic equinus foot, a condition associated with cerebral palsy (CP) in children aged 2-17. This global, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluated the efficacy and safety of abobotulinumtoxinA (ABO) versus placebo on the mean change from baseline in ankle joint hypertonicity in 241 children with cerebral palsy. Eligible patients were randomized (1:1:1) to injections of ABO 10U/kg/leg, ABO 15U/kg/leg or placebo into the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (one or both legs injected). The primary endpoint was change in Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) from baseline to Week 4. Selected secondary endpoint data presented were the mean Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) score at Week 4. Data presented also included the secondary endpoint of Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). In this study, the most frequently chosen goals were improved walking pattern (70.2% of patients), improved balance (32.3%), and decreased falling (31.1%). As measured by the GAS, where a score of 50 represents goal achieved as expected, patients with ABO showed higher goal achievement than the expected score of 50 (GAS of 50.9 for 15U/kg and 51.5 for 10U/kg), whereas patients on placebo did not reach the expected level (GAS score of 46.2). Treatment effects for GAS were significant for both ABO groups versus placebo (p=0.0031 & p=0.0006, respectively). The effects of abobotulinumtoxinA and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening, and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably great in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults, particularly in those patients who have underlying conditions that would predispose them to these symptoms.
Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals announced that in collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration an additional batch of Increlex will be available for commercial distribution starting in November 2015. Increlex is used to treat children who are very short for their age because their bodies do not make enough IGF-1. This condition is called severe primary IGF-1 deficiency. Increlex® should not be used for other causes of growth failure and should not be used instead of growth hormone. Increlex® is indicated for the treatment of growth failure in children with severe primary IGF-1 deficiency (IGFD), or with growth hormone (GH) gene deletion who have developed neutralizing antibodies to GH. Severe primary IGFD is defined by height standard deviation score = -3.0 and basal IGF-1 standard deviation score = -3.0 and normal or elevated growth hormone (GH). Increlex® is not intended for use in subjects with secondary forms of IGF-1 deficiency, such as GH deficiency, malnutrition, hypothyroidism, or chronic treatment with pharmacologic doses of antiinflammatory steroids. Thyroid and nutritional deficiencies should be corrected before initiating Increlex® treatment. Increlex® is not a substitute to GH for approved GH indications. Increlex® has not been studied in children < 2 years of age.

Lamar Odom Has Three Months to Live, Friends & Family Fear
According to a shocking new tabloid report, things aren't looking good for reality star and beleaguered former NBA star Lamar Odom.
At. All.
According to a shocking new tabloid report, things aren't looking good for reality star and beleaguered former NBA star Lamar Odom.
At. All.
It was less than five months ago that no one thought he would survive.
Kocktails With Khloe will leave nothing out, especially when it comes to her estranged husband's health.
He still has a long way to go, but at least Lamar Odom's condition is improving.
Lamar Odom narrowly escaped death on October 13th.
Lamar Odom suffered 12 strokes - yes, twelve - during his near-death medical emergency last week, and his motor skills have yet to fully recover.
Lamar Odom may have been transferred from Las Vegas to L.A., and he may be communicating with those around him, but the star is not out of the woods.
Sadly, in fact, he just underwent a pair of medical procedures.
It's looking more likely that Lamar Odom will survive his near death experience from last week, but it will be a long, uphill battle ahead.
Friends and family have been told by doctors that the rehabilitation process he faces will take many months, with uncertain success.
Lamar Odom will reportedly check into rehab "any day now," with the support of estranged wife Khloe Kardashian, in an attempt to salvage his marriage.
The troubled, 33-year-old basketball star has, according to a new report, paid for a three-month stint at a rehabilitation facility in Malibu, Calif., in full.
Lamar Odom is just living, man. The troubled athlete made this mantra abundantly clear during an impromptu chat with a photographer in L.A. yesterday.
Instead of brushing off the paparazzo who approached him, the 33-year-old mused for several minutes about his life, health, relationships and career.
Lamar Odom may be involved in some seriously dirty business these days, but Khloe Kardashian is clean and in the clear.
STD-wise, we mean.
We have an update on the confusing Lamar Odom situation.
With outlets offering conflicting coverage on the reality star's status - Is he in rehab or not - we can now confirm that both sides were right at various points this week.

Liner Note Author: Nat Hentoff.
Recording information: Contemporary's Studio, Los Angeles, CA (01/16/1959-03/10/1959).
With his second album as a leader, 1959's TOMORROW IS THE QUESTION!, Ornette Coleman had not quite made all the necessary adjustments that would introduce his classic period. However, enough changes had been made to make it clear that the alto saxophonist -- contrary to his detractors' sneers--had a specific sound he was aiming toward, and a clear idea of how to get there. The biggest change between this album and Coleman's 1958 debut is the lack of a pianist, which puts the melodic emphasis solely on Coleman's sax and Don Cherry's trumpet. Coleman and Cherry are in remarkable sync throughout; indeed, "Rejoicing" features several passages of the pair playing in unison, and two of the album's most harmonically fearless and rhythmically loose solos are Cherry's spotlights in "Giggin'" and "Endless." Only the somewhat ordinary post-bop rhythm section of bassist Percy Heath (spelled by Red Mitchell on the last three tracks) and drummer Shelly Manne keeps TOMORROW IS THE QUESTION! from reaching the ecstatic free-jazz heights of Coleman's classic Atlantic albums.

It's dinner time at the Human Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks, N.Dak., and the table manners are like something out of Animal House. Over here, a middle-age woman sucks every fleck of food off the lid of her stew bowl. Over there, a grandmotherly type picks up her plate and licks it clean. Then she does her silverware. "Our manners are atrocious," grins Clementine "Clem" Cooley, 68. "But you know what? We don't care!"
What looks like some Emily Post nightmare is actually serious scientific research. These 13 women, aged 48 to 82, are all in the employ of the federal government. Current pay is $30 a day plus free room and board. In return the volunteers must eat every morsel of the three hospital-type meals a day that they are served (the menu repeats every nine meals). So seriously is this clean-plate credo taken that they rinse their empty bowls with water and—ugh—drink the resultant broth. "The dog couldn't do any better," brags Clem as she licks her knife clean.
These human guinea pigs must also put up with near constant testing. Their blood samples are taken once a week; their urine is analyzed, and even their feces are bagged in plastic, freeze dried and later minutely studied. All outside food consumption is prohibited, and the ban includes such seemingly innocuous activities as chewing gum and licking postage stamps. Indeed, when the ladies from HNRC head into Grand Forks for a movie or a shopping trip, they are accompanied by student "chaperones" who make sure they're not indulging in an extracurricular snack or the unauthorized disposal of precious bodily wastes. (For unavoidable emergencies, the volunteers carry discreet containers with them.) The four married women have left husbands behind; the others are widowed or divorced. Sex is taboo for the duration.
The point of all this is to study the effects that various nutrients have on metabolism and health. "We don't use rats for this kind of study," explains HNRC physiologist Henry Lukaski, "simply because rats are not human. We can learn more about ourselves by studying people." The subjects, who live on the University of North Dakota campus in the HNRC's attractive living quarters, are under observation for six-month periods. Their scrupulously controlled diets are designed to be rich—or poor—in various trace elements. Last winter, when these women were under observation, the dietary roles of boron and magnesium were being investigated. HNRC Director Forrest H. (Frosty) Nielsen says that preliminary results suggest that supplementing a boron-low diet with an amount of boron commonly found in diets that are high in fruits and vegetables induces changes in post-menopausal women that can help prevent calcium loss and bone demineralization. "This," says Nielsen, "has obvious implications in the prevention of osteoporosis.
"Trace-element nutrition is a relatively new field, sort of like vitamin studies were in the '30s," says Nielsen. "And it's expensive. Each human study costs about a million dollars for staff, volunteers and materials." The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has four similar research centers in the U.S., hopes to use the information to establish the recommended daily allowance of various trace minerals.
In existence since 1969, the Grand Forks Research Center at first used exclusively male groups. But that changed in 1985, after scientists started conducting tests with women. "It was our first group where no one left," says Patti Lazarus, who recruits volunteers for the HNRC. "There seems to be a greater commitment in women volunteers, tremendous enthusiasm and a sense of adventure. Men don't bond as well. The women laugh all the time. This," she adds, gesturing around the dining room, "is like a metabolic sorority house."
The HNRC finds most of its volunteers through newspaper advertisements. Like Liz Payne, 48, from Fort Myers, Fla. She and her husband run a bookstore. "We sell the Chicago paper, and I saw the ad there," she says. Payne joined up "just to get away." Despite the chaperones, tests and monotonous menus, she finds it "more a vacation than a confinement," she says. Norma Fountain, 64, from Salem, Ore., agrees. She has eight children and 16 grandchildren, and—speaking for the many—she says, "The best part is having the freedom to enjoy things here. With no brood around," she adds, "you don't have to cook meals and clean house all the time."
The volunteers live in private rooms with shared bathrooms and their own radios, TVs and telephones. Their recreation facilities include a lounge with fireplace, a workshop, and stereo, computer and piano rooms. Their days revolve around tests, often beginning at 6 a.m. But for much of the time they are free—under the watchful eyes of their chaperones—to shop or take courses at the university. There's time to read, write or, like Joyce Brewer, "knit my daughter six sweaters." The only real problem is the food. Eating the same nine meals over and over again becomes monotonous beyond description. Everything must be devoured—including the dreaded lime-green Jell-O which, says Clem, "reminds me of some toilet disinfectant." Even the constant testing pales by comparison. "The easiest thing for the volunteers to get used to is the toilet routine," says Lazarus. "The hardest is not having a Twinkie or popcorn while watching TV."
One odd thing, though: After six months away from their families—six months of sewing, creative writing and self-improvement—even the staunchest anti-housework types find themselves softening. Like Norma Fountain, the woman with 16 grandchildren. "I'm looking forward," she admits, "to cooking again." Maybe it's something they put in the Jell-O.

China Imported Logs And Lumber For A Record Nine Billion Dollars In 2013, With North America, Russia And New Zealand Being The Major Suppliers 0 commentsMar 5, 2014 12:44 PM
China's importation of softwood lumber was 19 percent higher in 2013 than in 2012 reaching a new record high. The unprecedented increase in lumber shipments to the Chinese market that began in 2008 is continuing. In 2008, the country imported 3.6 million m3 of softwood lumber valued at 700 million dollars, according to the Wood Resource Quarterly (WRQ). Two years later, in 2010, the volume had increased to 9.4 million m3 and in 2013, China imported close to 17 million m3 of lumber, valued at a bit over 3.6 billion dollars.
Canada and Russia are the two major suppliers of lumber to China, with Canada having overtaken Russia as the largest supplier in 2010. Together, these two countries supplied almost 80 percent of all imports. However, this year Europe, Russia, Chile and New Zealand have all increased their shipments to China at a higher pace than has Canada. Sweden, for example, more than tripled its export volume from 2012 to 2013 to reach 370,000 m3, or just over two percent of the import volume last year.
This trend, where countries that just a few years ago were virtually non-existent in the Chinese market are now expanding is likely to continue in the coming years both because China's continued hunger for more wood and because Canada is not likely to expand exports much more than the levels seen over the past few years.
Importation of softwood logs to China really took off during the second half of 2013. In the 1H/13, import volumes were about 14.8 million m3, and in the 2H/13, China imported 18.1 million m3, an increase of 23 percent in just six months, making 2013 a record year for Chinese log imports. The total value of imported logs reached just over five billion dollars. During the past year, all major log suppliers to China increased their shipments except Russia, which in 2013 shipped the lowest volume since 2004. New Zealand shipments were up by 32% year-over-year, the US increased volumes by 55% and interestingly, Ukraine, which just a few years ago did not export any logs to China, shipped 1.4 million m3 in 2013, a tripling from the previous year, as reported in the WRQ (woodprices.com).
With record shipments of logs and lumber from North America to China during 2013, it will be very interesting to see if Chinese wood buyers can continue to increase their imports from the US and Canada in 2014 and 2015 when demand for lumber is likely to go up in the US market.

This is such a nice thing to do and she is only three years old I wouldn't have the guts to cut all my hair off because my hair is short already but to be honest if my hair was long I would cut it of and give it to children that dnt have hair, this is so inspirational, I still can't get over the fact that she is just three years old xx
Feel Good Friday: 3 Year Old Emily Shows Us What It Means to Give
Posted on March 7, 2014 | By Kelly | 2 responses
I ran across this story earlier in the week, but didn't take the time out to watch the video until today –
And as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to share it – what a little doll!
I would tell you what it's all about, but I think 3 year old Emily can explain it best herself:
A few thoughts after watching this…
1 – Parenting – Emily's parents are doing it right!
2 – I need Emily's uncle to cut my hair lol 😀
3 – Giving is always better than taking – you end up getting so much in return.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
If you love the idea of sharing things like this on your very own blog but don't know how to get started, Click Here!

UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda Court information
There's little drama and a lot of tedious questions, but it's still interesting to observe the UN's attempt to bring justice to the perpetrators of Rwandan genocide. Visitors are welcome when the court is in session – there were only a handful of trials and appeals still to be completed at the time of writing. Photo ID must be presented.
