National Resources Commission
The National Resources Commission (Chinese: 國家資源委員會; pinyin: guójiā zīyuán wěiyuánhuì) was a powerful organ of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China that existed from 1932 to 1952 and was responsible for industrial development and the management of public enterprises. It was staffed entirely by technocrats who reported directly to the Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek. The significance of the National Resources Commission stemmed from the leading role it played in industrial development during the two decades of Kuomintang "tutelage" over China.
The National Resources Commission was secretly formed as the National Defense Planning Commission (國防設計委員會) in 1932 in Nanjing with a staff of fifty technical experts to plan industrial mobilization in preparation for the Second Sino-Japanese War. The immediate catalyst for the formation of the National Defense Planning Commission was the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931. Its immediate goal was to design and implement defense-related industries to make China self-sufficient in impending war with Japan.
The National Defense Planning Commission was renamed the National Resources Commission in 1935 to reflect its role beyond defense-related industries. It soon grew into a large bureaucracy that was involved in managing a large state-owned industrial sector and in coordinating foreign trade. By 1947, it had a staff of 33,000 who supervised 230,000 workers, mostly in public enterprises. Due mainly to the nationalization major industries by the Nationalist Government, the NRC would gain control of 70% of Chinese industry.
The National Resources Commission was particularly interested in surveying and exploiting natural minerals and ores, and succeeded in importing entire industrial plants and sending its personnel to train abroad. The engineers of the National Resources Commission were influenced by Sun Yat-sen's Industrial Development and tied the need for economic "reconstruction" with national defense. The NRC successfully moved major industries into the Chinese interior when the Nationalist Government under Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Chongqing. To supply the government-controlled areas with electricity, the NRC proposed to build the Three Gorges Dam (the National Defense Planning Commission had made the first ever engineering survey of the site in 1932), though the project would not come to fruition until the 1990s.
At the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the staff of the NRC was split. A portion of the NRC stayed in mainland China to work under the new People's Republic of China, while the rest fled to Taiwan with the KMT. A number of former NRC engineers rose to top government posts in Taiwan, including one premier (Sun Yun-suan) and eight ministers of economic affairs. In contrast, many NRC leaders who stayed behind in mainland China later found themselves persecuted during the Anti-Rightist Campaign and the Cultural Revolution for having been a part of the old order.
The Republic of China government on Taiwan abolished the NRC in 1952. It functions were overtaken by the Council on U.S. Aid and the Industrial Development Commission.

n marquee boldface, a revised Verizon customer agreement arrived in customer's email boxes last night, screamed that contract language was changed as part of settling a class-action lawsuit and that, "UNLESS YOU TELL US THAT YOU PREFER YOUR EXISTING CONTRACT LANGUAGE, HOWEVER, THIS NEW CUSTOMER AGREEMENT WILL REPLACE YOUR EXISTING CONTRACT LANGUAGE."
The Verizon CSR we reached didn't know what exactly had changed and shunted us to a recorded line. The audiograph informed us that the agreement's phrasing was altered to detail how to use the phone as well as to further delimit the Verizon service. They also pointed us to this website section all about the lawsuit. Great, so, can anyone say what's different? Well, it has nothing to do with how much you pay or how you're billed or minutes or anything to do with money, so they won't tell us. Shutup and eat your electromagnetic radiation.

Motion sensors de-mystified
Yet, the talents of these tiny sensors are still widely underutilized, for two simple reasons. First, coaxing out their data and fusing it into precise and reliable pointing and tracking information is a much more challenging algorithmic exercise than most would estimate and often becomes a major manpower time sink. Secondly, there is a widespread (and incorrect) presumption among hardware and application engineers that most sensors provide similar levels of performance, and therefore that the data generally available from sensors does not meet their application needs.
The motion-sensing sensors typically incorporated into consumer products include a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, and a 3-axis geomagnetic sensor. Each of these sensors exhibits inherent strengths and weaknesses with respect to motion-tracking and absolute orientation. Recently, sensor "fusion" has found its way into consumer products as a method of overcoming the weaknesses of individual sensors. Sensor fusion is a sophisticated type of software that combines inputs from various sensors to yield a more accurate motion sensing result, typically involving complex algorithms that can take into account well over several hundred variables if implemented properly.
The 3-Axis Accelerometer SensorAccelerometers detect linear acceleration and the gravity vector by measuring the force on a spring in a given linear axis. Accelerometers were the first MEMS sensors to appear in high-volume applications, enabling air bag deployment in automobiles, image stabilization on cameras, and free-fall detection on laptops. The Nintendo Wii game console was the first major consumer product to introduce the accelerometer as a user input device for gesture recognition, rudimentary motion tracking, and orientation of the controller. And now, accelerometers are ubiquitous on smart phones and tablets for many reasons, including the ability to detect the orientation of the device and adjust the screen from portrait to landscape mode and back again.
Accelerometers have two primary weaknesses in terms of motion-tracking as discussed below:
- Accelerometers cannot establish either absolute or relative heading. When installed in a stationary device, a 3-axis accelerometer measures the acceleration on the individual accelerometer axes. As depicted in Figure 1, when stationary, both roll and pitch angles can be calculated based on the vertical gravity acceleration vector. However, heading is derived around the Z axis and the heading measurement cannot be calculated from the gravity vector. Consequently, accelerometers cannot derive heading.
- Accelerometers tend to be overly sensitive to motion, leading to hand jitter. This can be annoying in the short-term, as it means the cursor or screen-rendered object also will jitter. Over several minutes jitter can lead to significant accumulated orientation or position error, especially if the accelerometer's noise is on the same order of magnitude as the jitter. And the low-cost, consumer-grade accelerometers that are now widely in use have considerably more noise than more expensive, larger, and more power-hungry industrial-grade accelerometers, as shown in Figure 2.
The 3-Axis Gyroscope Sensor
A gyroscope (also referred to as a gyro or an angular-rate sensor) measures the angular rate of rotation around an axis and, by derivation, the angle of rotation around the axis. In existence since the early 19th century, gyroscopes have shrunk from huge, brass desktop models to today's small, low-cost, and low-power MEMS chip that can fit under your thumbnail. Consumer grade gyros were first built into Gyration's Air Mouse in the mid-90s, and later MEMS gyros were used in Logitech's MX Air pointing device and LG's Smart TV remote control, among others. The Nintendo Wii further enhanced the gaming experience by adding gyroscopes to their Motion Plus controller. Gyros were also added to the iPhone 3GS to expand the gaming potential and improve the usability of location-based service (LBS) features.
As with the accelerometer, gyroscopes also have deficiencies:
- Gyroscopes do not provide absolute references. For this reason, they normally are used in conjunction with an accelerometer, which provides an absolute reference to "down", and thus can provide absolute references for pitch and roll readings. Often a geomagnetic sensor is also used in conjunction with a gyroscope to provide an absolute reference for heading, as well.
- A gyroscope's bias, or zero offset, will drift over time. If left uncorrected, this provides a major source of system error. For example, the output of a gyro may report the system is moving even though it is actually at rest. As a point of reference, an incorrect bias reading of 0.07°, which is the resolution limit for a consumer-grade gyroscope, results in 2.1° of error after 30 seconds. Figure 3, below, shows typical uncorrected bias change over an 8 minute period, while Figure 4 shows how this translates into heading error.

Chapter 16
|and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods.
|So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.
|Then all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up also!"
|And a fire came out from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense.

Form I-9, "Employment Eligibility Verification." When you begin work, you and your employer must complete Form I-9, which requires you to document your identity and work authorization according to directions on the back of the Form. Of the various items acceptable as documentation, you may find that the most convenient combination is your passport (or other photo-bearing identification if you are Canadian), Form I-94 Departure Record card, Form DS-2019, and your RO/ARO's written employment authorization. Your employer, who keeps Form I-9, will make copies of the documents you submit, and return the originals to you. Since your RO/ARO's authorization can be valid for no more than a year, you will have to obtain a new one at least annually, and then update your Form I-9.
Social Security and other Taxes
Social Security Taxes. In general, as a J-1 student you will be exempt from Social Security (F.I.C.A.) taxes for your first five years in the United States, as long as you continue to declare non-resident status for tax purposes (see Internal Revenue Service Publication 519, "U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens".)
Federal, State and Local Taxes. Unless you qualify under a tax treaty between the United States and your home government, your earnings as a J 1 student will be subject to applicable federal, state and local taxes, and employers are required by law to withhold those taxes from your paychecks. By April 15 you must file a federal income tax return and a "Required Statement" covering the prior calendar year to determine whether you owe more taxes or are entitled to a refund.
A Note of Caution
As a J 1 student you are eligible for a variety of work opportunities in the United States, but employment without proper authorization is a serious violation of your status. Remember to consult International Student and Scholar Services prior to starting any kind of employment.

Actress Shruti Hassan has reportedly been approached for the role which was originally offered to Tamanna Bhatia in upcoming Telugu action-drama Aagadu featuring Superstar Mahesh Babu, says a source from the industry.
"Shruti's name has come up for the lead role in Aagadu. However, nothing has been confirmed yet as Srinu Vaitla (director) has to take the final call. We should have some clarity in a couple of weeks," a source close to the director told.
Tamanna was finalised for the role a few months ago, but since Shruti is the most sought after actress in Telugu industry, she is being considered for the role.
While Tamanna's last four Telugu films failed to rake in the moolah at the Box-Office, Shruti struck gold with her films such as Gabbar Singh and Balupu.
Aagadu, which is expected to go on floors by November, will bring together Srinu Vaitla and Mahesh Babu for the second time after Telugu blockbuster Dookudu.
Meanwhile, Shruti is awaiting the release of Telugu romantic-drama Ramayya Vasthavayya.

A female masseuse from Oregon has filed a statement with police that claims Al Gore sexually abused her during a $540 massage session in 2006.
The unnamed woman alleged that the unwanted sexual contact occurred in a Portland hotel, and that Gore acted like a "crazed sex poodle."
"I finally got out the door after being forcefully pulled back in the room… a couple of times and trying to leave, to be groped and fondled and have tongue kisses forced on me… and that's when he's saying, 'You know you want to do it.' And I was just thinking, 'Oh my god.'"
The police report also noted mysterious stains on the pants the woman wore the day of her "abuse," which she submitted as evidence.
All this has come to light amidst the wreckage of Al Gore's failed marriage to Tipper Gore, who may have known about this long ago.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello Margaret, I am Dr. Arun and will be helping you today.
Swelling of feet and ankle on both the sides can be associated because of the following reasons (It is always important to discuss this with your primary care physician for the evaluation):
1) Venous valvular incompetence
2) Obstruction of the lymphatic outflow
3) Dependent edema which can occur because of the prolonged standing or sitting.
4) Congestive heart failure
5) Kidney diseases
6) Protein deficiency
7) Hypothyroidism
8) Anemia
9) Medications
Following measures are beneficial in decreasing or resolving the swelling:
1) Avoid prolonged standing or walking for long distances in a single stretch.
2) Whenever you sit; keep your legs elevated on a chair or a sofa or stool.Do not hang the legs, otherwise gravity will increase the swelling.
3) Exercises / physical therapy
a) Lie down straight and raise your leg and feet for 10-20 seconds. Repeat this for ten times (twice a day whole set).
b) When you sit; pull the feet towards you for 10-20 seconds. Repeat it for ten times twice a day.
4) Raise leg end of your bed by 6 inches.
Burning can be helped by;
1) Analgesics
2) Acupuncture
3) A very mild massage; keeping the massage direction towards heart.
4) Electrical stimulation; this is a small device which physical therapy centers would give your for the home use.
The small blood vessel looking broken point it to be as venous valvular incompetence. A colored doppler study (specialized ultrasound) would diagnose the cause. You may also be prescribed a stockinet, if the varicose veins . incompetent veins are found by the physical exam and ultrasound.Please feel free for your follow up questions.
I would be happy to assist you further, if you need any more information.

Despite a rapid exodus from the externally managed vehicle in the immediate aftermath of its launch – the dash for the exit stripped 12 per cent from Rural Funds Group's value – Commonwealth Bank notes the trust is in expansion mode, with prospective acquisitions delivering "greater diversity and liquidity".
The analysts argue the poultry, almonds, viticulture and livestock sectors to which the trust is exposed are all displaying "positive industry fundamentals" and stress earnings are less volatile than those of traditional agricultural companies, as the focus is solely upon the properties which are secured by long leases.
Rural Funds Group was created from the merger of three unlisted funds.
Its debut was preceded by a legal scrap with dissident investors, some of whom had been locked in the vehicles for over a decade.
Yet while Commonwealth Bank has adopted a sanguine view of Rural Funds Group, it notes debt levels are worryingly high at 42 per cent. The analysts calculate a 17 per cent decline across all asset classes would trigger a breach of lending covenants although they conclude an event of this magnitude is unlikely to occur.
They point out vineyards rank as the most volatile asset class in the portfolio and argue the industry has already weathered drastic devaluations, limiting any "further downside risk".

TeX Live Manager
From TeX on Mac OS X wiki
Open source (GPL)
TeX Live Manager (
tlmgr) is a TeX Live utility first introduced in the 2008 release which allows users to update the software in between major (typically annual) releases.
It is used to update packages and utilities included in TeX Live itself - as opposed to any local or personal additions. That is, it updates packages in the main distribution tree (typically /usr/local/texlive/2008) rather than those in the local or personal trees (typically /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local and, in the case of MacTeX, ~/Library/texmf respectively). It thus allows regular updating of packages not manually installed by the installation administrator or user in alternate locations. To be installed or updated packages must be packed as specified by the TeX Live team (similarly to the Windows MikTeX installer).
Warning: Currently
tlmgr is not responsible for maintaining or checking any local or personal additions[1] (e.g. packages installed in /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-local or ~/Library/texmf). If you have an obsolete version of package sitting in one of these locations, updating a package with
tlmgr will have no effect when you typeset because the software will always use a package in local or personal tree in preference to one in the main distribution tree even if the one in the local or personal tree is older. In order to use the updated package, you must manually remove the older package from the local or personal tree.
Another warning: Those who used
mpm (which is the UNIX port of the MikTeX Package Manager for Windows), should not use it with TeX Live 2008.
mpm and
tlmgr are not compatible, and attempting to use both is likely to cause problems. If you have used
mpm and now wish to switch to TeX Live Manager, you should remove
mpm completely and start with a clean TeX Live installation.
Before using the TeX Live Manager, it is helpful to understand a little bit about the organisation of TeX Live. In particular, it helps to know the following:
- the distribution is organised into collections;
- each collection contains a number of packages;
- packages include all the familiar packages you might load in the preamble of a document or download from CTAN;
- a TeX installation - one you have on your Mac, for example - includes a number of collections.
Basic command line usage
First: Update tlmgr
As tlmgr is very new, it is still undergoing rapid development to improve stability and reliability. It may be helpful to archive your MacTeX installer in case you need to revert to the original configuration. Reports of damage resulting from use of the 2008 distributed version have been made to the TeX on Mac mailing list. Thus it is advisable to update the version distributed with MacTeX 2008 to the latest version before running any of the following commands. To do this:
- Log in to one of the administrator accounts on your Mac.
- Download update-tlmgr-latest.sh to your Desktop
- Run the Terminal Application in your Utilities Folder
- In the terminal, type (or copy and paste) the following and hit return
cd ~/Desktop;sudo sh update-tlmgr-latest.sh
- Enter your administrator password when prompted.
Second: Set Your Server
Tlmgr retrieves updates from one of the many CTAN servers. To avoid overloading a particular server tlmgr is usually configured to use a mirror link, mirror.ctan.org, which parcels out requests to different servers. This is usually the default link but it doesn't hurt to set this.
- In the terminal, type (or copy and paste) the following and hit return
sudo tlmgr option location http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/
- Enter your administrator password when prompted.
Accessing documentation
Help is available for the TeX Live Manager. To view it type one of the following in a terminal window:
tlmgr --help
texdoc tlmgr
Updating the local installation
The single most important command is:
sudo tlmgr update --all
This command compares the collections installed on your machine with those available in a (typically remote) repository. It checks whether the remote version is newer than the installed version. If so, it updates the local version. Because each collection includes a number of packages, an update an update may involve several different types of changes.
What updating a collection may involve:
- A local package may be updated if the remote collection contains a newer version of the package.
- A new package may be installed if a package has been added to the collection.
- A local package may be deleted if it has been removed from the collection.
Because the command makes changes to the main TeX tree in /usr/local, it requires the use of
sudo. To actually update your installation, then, you must use
sudo -H tlmgr update --all
Some users may prefer or need to use
sudo tlmgr update --all
You should probably use
-H unless you have installed fonts in your personal tree (~/Library/texmf) and you are the sole user of your machine. You should be aware, though, that it is possible for customisations in your personal tree to interfere with the update process when
-H is not used. You should therefore scrutinise the console output carefully and consider the possibility that something in your personal tree may be responsible if your have problems. For example, I (--Cfr 22:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)) found that my personal
color.cfg prevented two of the standard formats from being regenerated. Using
-H to generate them resolved the issue.
update --all will not do:
- It will not install new collections (but according to TeX Live team most likely there will be no new collections).
- It will not install packages which are not part of any collection.
- It will not install packages which belong to collections not installed locally.
For example, suppose that
collection-science is installed locally but
collection-latexextra is not. If you have never updated before your local version of
collection-science will not include the package
gene-logic. When you update, this package will be installed locally. On the other hand,
recipe will not be installed because this package was added to
collection-latexextra and this collection is not installed locally.
tlmgr is very intelligent: it skips binary files for platforms other than yours.
Some further options
- To find out if any updates are available for your installation:
tlmgr update --list
- To list all available packages with a note telling you whether each is installed on your system or not:
tlmgr list
- To list all packages which are not installed locally, avoiding files unsuitable for OS X and other uninteresting items:
tlmgr list | egrep -v "^i|binary|00|win32|wintools|darwin|scheme-"
- To preview actions of
sudo update --allwithout actually running it
tlmgr update --all --dry-run
- The following commands modify your installation and require
tlmgr update <packagename> tlmgr update --all
tlmgr install <packagename>
tlmgr remove <packagename>
Any of these may be followed by
--dry-run. This will show you the commands which would be executed if the option was omitted without actually running of them. The output is less verbose than that from a regular run but the coverage is comprehensive. In this case,
sudo is unnecessary as no changes will be made to your installation.
- Log
Installing and using the GUI interface
The X11 GUI for
tlmgr requires the Perl/Tk module which is not included in OS X. MacTeX 2008 provides an installer for the module, however. Unless you performed a Custom Install and deselected the GUI Applications option, the installer is located in /Applications/TeX/Utilities/TeX Live Manager/, which also includes some documentation.
Installing the Perl/Tk module will enable both the X11 GUI for
tlmgr and the X11 GUI relative of
TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) and texdoctk
Once Perl/Tk is installed, access TeX Live Manager's X11 GUI by opening an X11 terminal and typing:
tlmgr --gui
More advanced
What is called
tlmgr is actually a symbolic link:
/usr/texbin/tlmgr -> /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl
tlmgr has been updated officially to revision 11452:
tlmgr --version
returns a revision;
Now (Victor Ivrii 10:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)) if packages are removed from TeX Live (usually due to licensing),
tlmgr will remove them from your computer (if you run
tlmgr update --all). To avoid this altogether, use:
tlmgr update --all --no-remove
Alternatively, you may designate a backup directory:
tlmgr backup --backupdir dir [--all] [pkg...]
Other useful actions
tlmgr show <packagename> tlmgr search <string>
- Strictly speaking, TeX Live Manager may be used to update additions to TeX Live from a private repository. For this to work, the additional packages would need to be packaged in the format specified by the TeX Live team, just they must be packaged in format specified by the MikTeX team in order to be maintained by the Windows MikTeX package manager.
tlmgr gone rogue - what to do
- tlmgr - command not found
Check if there are /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl
and symbolic link /usr/texbin/tlmgr -> ../../texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl
- tlmgr reports an error like
Can't locate object method "option" via package "TeXLive::TLPDB" at /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/universal-darwin/tlmgr line 1088.
Updated advice from Karl Berry:
- Go to ftp.ctan.org and get
Run it. Some MacOSX ftp client corrupt this file, so use standard terminal ftp
- tlmgr removed bunch of packages
packages sometimes are removed by texlive team but seldom and not in masse Check
tlmgr list |grep "^i"|wc -l
the answer should be around 1794 under full installation as of 2008:12:10 (the number could increase or decrease but not much. So if there is a "significant" drop in the number, then you can
tlmgr list collections > ~/Desktop/collections
to have all collections listed (there are 85 of them, but we don't need collection-wintools: Windows support programs); open this file in text editor and one-by-one reinstall them
sudo tlmgr install collection-basic
and go one by one. Some collections are huge, some tiny.
In the end check the number of packages, collections, schemes as before
tlmgr list |grep "^i"|wc -l
Being paranoid
- As a precaution first run the command with --dry-run to reduce the risk of something unexpected happening and watch messages;
- Update some of the package management packages before updating other packages:
sudo tlmgr update bin-texlive texlive.infra
and only then
sudo tlmgr update --all

A different kind of pain, but never the less it's still pain. The doctor said it was called pillow pain and some people have it after carpal tunnel surgery and some people don't. The doctors don't know why some have pillow pain and others don't. What I would like to know is: What is pillow pain and what can I do to stop the pain? I was told to put heat on my hand and I did that and it worked for a short period of time and the pain started back again shortly afterwards. I just want to be pain free and I'm hopping that someone can provide me with some information that can help me become pain free. Thanks in advance for any information that you can provide.READ MORE
I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand five weeks ago and I am still in a great deal of pain.
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
I am an RN and I have never heard of "pillow pain," but that does not mean it doesn't exist- It may be a term he uses to describe the hypersensitivity some people have after the surgery.
Try the heat and ice alternating every 15 minutes. Sometimes that helps. I asked for a referral to Hand Therapy after my surgery, and they did a lot of things that helped the pain. Maybe that would help you too. Keep the hand elevated, if you can, as well...having it hang down made my pain worse. The one thing I found out was that I had to keep using my hand, even if it hurt.You should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Cate Blanchett is getting reviews for The Missing that match the raves she received for Veronica Guerin, though the back-to-back releases couldn't be more different.
The Missing, opening in the US on Friday, (and on February 12 in Australia) stars Blanchett as Maggie, a frontierswoman who reunites with her long estranged father to rescue her kidnapped daughter. In Veronica Guerin, the Australian actress played the real-life Irish journalist killed for her reporting about drug dealers.
"What I found remarkable about Veronica Guerin was her incredible positivity," Blanchett told the Boston Herald.
"I think that she's much more open and fluid than Maggie is. Maggie is much more shut down and also, I think, much more damaged."
Blanchett's performances have started talk of Oscar. The betting for many Hollywood insiders is on which role will earn her a Best Actress nomination.
When asked which one she'd like to be honoured for, Blanchett just laughed.
"That would be incredibly presumptuous of me. If you think that you have any control over any of that stuff, you must be completely insane," she said.
Veronica Guerin opens in Australia on January 15.

- The Department of Veterans Affairs
Support PTSD/TBI Service Dogs for veterans!
It's estimated that 13 to 20 percent of the more than 2.6 million Americans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2001 have or could develop PTSD. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. However, according to the ADA, dogs that calm a person with PTSD during an anxiety attack are considered a reasonable modification to ADA policies. The Department of Veterans Affairs will pay for service dogs assigned to veterans with impaired vision, hearing or mobility, but it will not cover the cost of dogs assigned for mental disabilities like post-traumatic stress disorder, according to new federal regulations.
Many dogs provide support to veterans suffering from PTSD, but although more veterans are being diagnosed with the anxiety disorder, the VA says there's not enough evidence that these dogs help with the symptoms of combat-related disabilities. A new Army policy has already made it more difficult for soldiers to obtain service dogs and keep them on Army bases.
There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that service dogs help veterans cope with PTSD, but research lags and the VA is skeptical.

MD Skincare Product Detail: Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel: 30 Applications
Back in Feb. of this year I decided that I really needed to get serious about my skincare and needed to add something more to the mix than what I was already using. I use the lancome line on a regular basis and I'm very pleased with it, But I felt that i was still missing something that would feel like an in-home spa experience. So a friend of mine that I have know for at least 10 years. I mean has known me through my faze with MAC products (1998) all the way to now with Lancome informed me that she thought that MD Skincare Beta Daily Face Peel would be excellent for my skin. Especially since I was trying to deal with acne scarring. She informed me that instead of using the Peels Daily, use the process every other week, and alternate it with another product that she recommended for my face. So to make it easier Every sunday it's a mini spa day for me in the evening when I do my face. Main thing I like is that I give my products an extended life. Now with this product you want to first wash your face with your regular cleanser. Pat your skin dry and then apply the first step. After a minute you want to proceed with step 2. Then finally I apply my regular moisturizer cream. Let me tell you something your face will definitely thank you. Now please keep in mind that there are 2 versions. there is the 30 applications for $75 and the 60 applications for $125.
it's like a facial in just one tiny package. fantastic for traveling.Tags: beauty, travel, facial, skin care, All in one, MD SkincareAdded 9 Years Ago from Mdskincare

Dot Looker is the toast of her already large family after she delivered her granddaughter's second child in the middle of the night, in her own home.
The 85-year-old from Wodonga slammed down the book she was reading to race to granddaughter Rikki Bennett, who elected to stay with her grandmother last Friday rather than return to her own home sensing her latest baby was close to arrival.
Ms Bennett had been assured the birth was still two days away, but at around 11.30pm the real-life emergency started to unfold at the West Wodonga residence.
Cool in a crisis, "Super Gran" stepped up to the plate to deliver Logan Peter at 12.55am, weighing 3.2 kilograms.
The Border Mail reports that Ms Bennett's mum Jan and daughter Summah, 13, were also present, but had no time for a mad dash to the hospital.
"I've had five babies of my own and none like that," Mrs Looker said.
"I had seen births on the movies, but this was nothing like the movies.
"Jan tried to ring the ambulance, but she didn't have her glasses on and also couldn't work out how to use my phone.
"At one stage she came in and asked me how to use the phone and I said 'Jan, I'm busy at the moment'."
In a further complication, Logan was born inside his amniotic sac (en caul) which happens only once in around 80,000 births.
Mrs Looker calmly peeled the sac over Logan's head before discovering the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck twice and also had to be carefully released.
She doubts her 15th great-grandchild would have survived if Rikki went to hospital for the birth.
"He was blue and I put him on my left hand and patted him on the back," Mrs Looker said.
"After a little bit he cried and it was the best sound I've heard in my entire life.
"I'm off a dairy farm and delivered calves, lambs, dogs and cats, but nothing like this.
"I only hope I live to hear him talk.
"He will be special, but I won't love him any more than the others."
The birth took 15 minutes before mum and son went to hospital by ambulance and Mrs Looker, who also has two great-great-grandsons, returned to the book she was reading.
She and her late husband Vern moved to Wodonga from their Upper Murray dairy farm nearly 30 years ago.
Mrs Looker, a keen golfer, and twin sister Margaret are the youngest and only surviving members of her immediate family.
Ms Bennett and baby Logan were released from hospital following their remarkable experience on Monday.
"She was absolutely amazing and there is nothing she can't do," Ms Bennett said.
"I remember looking at grandma and thinking why is she so calm.
"The next thing I remember was her rubbing him vigorously with a towel and then he screamed.
"I yelled at grandma and asked if he was dead and she wasn't talking.
"She was just in this mode of concentrating and pulling things off his face and from around his neck."
Ms Bennett said she began getting contractions around 2pm on Friday.
After collecting her daughter from school, she decided to go to Wodonga hospital but was assured the baby wasn't coming.
As the contractions were happening she still found time to sell her Jeep Cherokee.
On a follow-up visit to the hospital around 11pm she was given some pain relief and then returned to her grandmother's home.
"The last thing I remembered was walking out to the car," she said.
"An hour and a half later I woke up screaming.
"Grandma walked in and I pushed and she caught him.
"That was it."

Milwaukee Journal; Bambi Is on the Run, And Some Are Cheering
Special to The New York Times
Published: August 18, 1990
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 17— The furor over one of Wisconsin's most sensational murder cases had just about died down. And then Bambi broke out of prison. Bambi is the nickname of Lawrencia Bembenek, a former Milwaukee policewoman and Playboy Club bunny who was convicted in 1982 of murdering her husband's ex-wife. Since July 15, when she slipped out of the Taycheedah Correctional Institution 60 miles north of here, the public's fascination has been rekindled.
A recent rally celebrating her escape attracted 300 people. Hooligan's Super Bar and Deli has put a Bembenek Burger on its menu, and several bars and restaurants have concocted similarly named creations. Hot fashion items around town are T-shirts that say ''Run, Bambi, Run.'' Local television stations have conducted call-in polls asking whether viewers believe her protestations of innocence.
On Wednesday, to mark Ms. Bembenek's 32d birthday, The Milwaukee Sentinel produced a page 1 photograph with an article that was continued on an entire inside page with four other photographs of her. It quoted, among many others, a former president of the local ski club, who recalled, ''She wasn't a dumb girl by any means, but I never thought of her as being scholastically motivated.''
District Attorney E. Michael McCann, whose office prosecuted Ms. Bembenek, said, ''This is a case that titillates the public.''
Ms. Bembenek's supporters say she was wrongly convicted of murdering Christine Schultz. Ms. Bembenek's husband, Elfred O. Schultz, was a police detective at the time. The two have since divorced, and Mr. Schultz has remarried and moved to Florida, where he runs a construction business.
''They think she was framed, probably by the police department and the District Attorney,'' said Chuck Betz, a cook at Hooligan's.
Many people say they think Ms. Bembenek was framed because she had evidence of wrongdoing by Milwaukee police officers, although little substantive evidence of this has been put forth. The police and the District Attorney's office say they have found no reason to reopen the case.
Ms. Bembenek's escape was all the more dramatic because she was believed to have been accompanied by her 34-year-old fiance, Dominic Gugliatto. They met late last year while Mr. Gugliatto was visiting his sister, an inmate at the prison.
Prison officials said Ms. Bembenek crawled through an opening in a laundry room window and fled in the woods. Mr. Gugliatto, a factory worker, has not been seen since the escape. His truck was found a short time later in a parking lot near Milwuakee.
There are no firm leads, said Sheriff James M. Gilmore of Fond du Lac County, whose department is leading the search. ''We definitely feel that she's out of this area, out of the state and quite possibly out of the country,'' the sheriff said.
As details about the escape became public, attention returned to the case, based on circumstantial evidence, that prosecutors presented against her nearly a decade ago.
''Eight judges have reviewed this case and we have had days and days of evidentiary hearings,'' District Attorney McCann said. ''We don't try people or determine guilt or innocence based on the result of polls.''
Ms. Bembenek, who joined the police force as a trainee in March 1980, became friends with another trainee who was arrested for smoking marijuana at a rock concert in May 1980. Three months later Ms. Bembenek was dismissed from the force for filing a false report on her friend's arrest.
When she was a policewoman Ms. Bembenek asserted that she was a victim of harassment and discrimination. She also caused a storm by giving supervisors photographs of off-duty officers - including Mr. Schultz, her future husband - posing naked at a wild tavern party.
The photographs are often cited by those who say she was framed, but Mr. McCann denies a connection. ''The suggestion that the authorities would cover up a murder because some cops were dancing naked is absurd,'' he said.
On May 28, 1981, Christine Schultz was bound, gagged and shot once in the back at point-blank range in the bedroom of her South Side home. The suspect was described as a man by one of the Schultzes' children, who lived with the mother, but three weeks later the police arrested Ms. Bembenek.
During the two-week trial some of the most damaging testimony showed that Ms. Bembenek, who married Mr. Schultz four months before the murder, had bitterly complained about the $700-a-month alimony he was paying his former wife.
Throughout the trial Mr. Schultz maintained that Ms. Bembenek was not guilty. After she was convicted he said she was guilty, and Ms. Bembenek has in turn said he should have been a suspect in the trial, although she has not offered evidence against him.
Mr. McCann and others worry that Mr. Gugliatto has been used by Ms. Bembenek, who has had several would-be suitors go to considerable lengths to assist her appeals. One made a low-budget documentary, ''Used Innocence,'' and another contributed $28,000 toward her legal defense before he was spurned.
Mr. McCann said Mr. Gugliatto might have been seduced by Ms. Bembenek's letters. Friends of Mr. Gugliatto said the letters carried ''enormous sexual promises.''

It sometimes gets lost in the hubbub of the playoffs, the draft and the start of free agency but this week the NHL announced the 2011 Hall of Fame inductees, which was made up of four former NHL stars who were chosen by an 18-member selection committee.
The most notable of the four selections was longtime Chicago Blackhawks and Dallas Stars goaltender Ed Belfour, who made it on his very first attempt. Belfour was a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, as the league's best goalie and helped lead the Dallas Stars to the franchise's first ever Stanley Cup in 1999. During his 17-year career in which he played for Chicago, San Jose, Dallas, Toronto and Florida, Belfour tallied 484 wins which is third all-time.
He will enter the Hall with Doug Gilmour, Joe Nieuwendyk and Mark Howe.
Belfour earned the nickname "Eddie the Eagle" when he entered the league in 1991, thanks to the way his facemask was painted. He went on to win the Calder Memorial Trophy, as the league's top rookie that year and helped lead the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup Finals, despite coming up just short against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He would finally finish the job eight years later with the Stars.
"It is hard to put into words what this means to me," Belfour told ESPN. "I would like to thank all of my teammates and people along the way who helped me achieve my hockey dreams."
He is not the only Stars player entering the Hall as Nieuwendyk, the team's current general manager, managed to get the nod. Nieuwendyk won three Cups with three different teams and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Stanley Cup MVP in 1999 with Dallas, several years after earning his first piece of hardware, the Calder Trophy.
Howe has a very recognizable name to hockey fans and historians alike. His father happened to be this guy by the name of Gordie, who just so happened to be one of the best to ever lace up skates. Howe however, switched from forward to defense and had 1,246 points in 22 NHL seasons. Twice he earned a trip to the Cup Finals with the Philadelphia Flyers, but came up short both times. He had three 20-goal seasons and was a runner up for the Norris Trophy three times in his career.
Gilmour played 20 seasons as a member of several teams including the Blackhawks and Maple Leafs. In 1989 he won the Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames along with the Selke Trophy, which is awarded to the league's best defensive minded forward. He finished his career with 964 assists and 1,414 points.
Each of these guys helped usher in the next generation as the best the NHL had to offer and they all have certainly earned this honor. The induction ceremony will take place in Toronto on Nov. 14.

An IT specialist accused of defrauding the labour department of R1.2 million was released on bail by the Pretoria Commercial Crime Court on Friday.
Labour department spokesman Page Boikanyo said Kenneth Martin Mahuluhulu, 32, was released on a R5000 bail because he was not considered a flight risk.
He would have to report to the Sunnyside police station once a week and was warned not to interfere with State witnesses and the investigation.
Mahuluhulu would be back in court on October 16.
Police arrested him on Wednesday at the University of SA in Pretoria, where he now worked, after he had been on the run for two years.
He allegedly colluded with a syndicate that included a former employee of the labour department's compensation fund, to submit fictitious claims to the fund between 2006 and 2009.
The fund acts as insurance for workers injured in the line of duty. - Sapa

Rob Kardashian Looking Beefy in a Tank Top (PHOTOS)
Those Kardashians sure do take their fitness seriously.

South African born Luscombe, who could play centre or wing, made his Wales senior debut coming on as a replacement against Scotland in a pre-2003 Rugby World Cup international.
His move to Warriors gave him the chance to again work with Mike Ruddock who included him in the Grand Slam winning side of 2005. Luscombe was also a regular during the 2006 RBS Six Nations, scoring his second international try in the match against France at the Millennium Stadium that concluded Wales's 2005-2006 championship and gave France the title.
The 28-year-old, renowned as a strong running and creative centre, made nine appearances for Warriors and scored a try against Petrarca Rugby in the European Challenge Cup.
"It is with great regret that I have to confirm that Hal Luscombe has decided to retire from professional rugby," said Director of Rugby, Mike Ruddock.
"Hal has been released from his contract in order for him to pursue different ambitions.
"Hal is a terrific guy who has been a fantastic player for a number of years with Newport Gwent Dragons, Harlequins, Worcester and Wales.
"I would like to thank Hal for his service to the Warriors and I would like to pay tribute to his outstanding character and performances over the years, most notably as a member of the Wales Grand Slam winning team of 2005. I wish him every success in the future."

So the Rangers board a plane for the West Coast today, where they'll play three games in five nights beginning Tuesday, and it turns out Corey Potter will be with them. The defenseman, who made his NHL debut a few games back against Calgary, will give the team a needed seventh defenseman when they're a continent away from Hartford.
As for the people who won't be with them:

Mats Sundin. In Sundin's comments to Katie Strang at Newsday last night, he said "the next couple weeks":http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/rangers/ny-spmats145964781dec14,0,5269414.story?track=rss when asked about his timing.
That was before the big center had a chance to meet with Glen Sather, but even if Sundin is convinced more than ever he wants to be a Ranger, there's still a lot of maneuvering that needs to be done to make it a reality. And let's not forget that the Rangers, with two convincing wins against Southeast Division opponents in the last three games, might decide they're better off without him.
That was a joke by the way.

Me. No, no California sunshine for yours truly. In fact, as far as I know, only two writers are making the trip, a testament more than anything to belt-tightening at newspapers. I'll be technically taking the week off to spend some time with the family and play some hockey, although I'll be updating the blog as needed, and closely watching what happens with Mr. Sundin.
More on my plans later…

The cost of mindfulness: A case study
Mindfulness is a concept that refers to the attentiveness and alertness of people to detail. When applied properly, mindfulness improves the reliability of organizational processes, an important dimension to process quality. However, no study measures the cost of implementing mindfulness, which is necessary for managers when allocating scarce resources among competing improvement initiatives. Using the popular P-A-F framework, this study measures the cost of mindfulness in a healthcare context, and suggests consideration of several activities when implementing it in real-world firms.

Lions now 1-2 in district
Dave A. Vance, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Ennis Lions (6-9-2, 1-2) struggled to put an offensive game together on Friday as the Red Oak Hawks (8-10, 2-1) scored the only two runs of the game in the bottom of the fifth inning to defeat the Lions 2-0.
"Bottom line, we didn't execute when we had runners on base. We didn't do the right things to move them in the scoring position," Lion head coach Kevin Kalinec said.

What's worse than seeing 15,000 Cubs fans at Miller Park? Watching them go home night after night with a victory to gloat over. The Brewers fell flat at home.
Jeff Suppan now heads to the bullpen, and that's probably a good idea. When you have an ERA of 8.68, you have to be pulled from the mound. Is it that bad? 16 hits spread out over nine innings tells me yes, it's that bad. The fast ball he throws is easily ten miles per hour too slow. The demotion was a good move.
What's the bright spot? Crushing the Pirates with 17 runs did the trick for now. Ken Macha will have to find a way to get his pitching staff back on track. This terrible pitching can't continue.

Pear Chocolate Cake
Top Review by Jenny Sanders
This is lovely. I made a few minor changes: I used whole wheat pastry flour, and added an extra pear, and my chocolate bar was a little skimpy. It also didn't want to grate, so I just chopped it up with a chopper. Because of the extra pear (I think) I had to bake it for 70 minutes and it was still a little soft in the very middle. However, it was still wonderful - very rich without being overwhelming, and the pear, chocolate and buttery vanilla cake all balanced each other wonderfully.

HOUSTON - A dangerous and dramatic rescue made national headlines back in March. Now the firefighters behind that heroic act are getting the recognition they deserve, being named Firefighters of the Year.
As the fire raged behind him, a man was plucked off a ledge and pulled to safety, just in the nick of time. HFD Senior Captain Brad Hawthorne and Engineer Operator Dwayne Wyble were two of four firefighters on a ladder truck who saved the life of construction worker Curtis Reissig.
"He was a couple feet from us and I was telling him to hold on at first, because I didn't want him jumping and missing. I wanted to get where I could get my hands on him, so I told him to hold on," said Hawthorne.
Dramatic cell phone video showed Hawthorne at the end of the ladder as the worker jumped from the fifth-floor balcony to the fourth floor. With Hawthorne still holding on, Wyble managed to move the ladder to the perfect position so the worker could jump on.
"I knew I couldn't start moving the ladder right away without knocking one of them off the ladder, so I moved it just enough where he would feel it move, and he would look down at me to see what was going on, so when he looked down I started moving the ladder over immediately, so he knew what I was thinking then," Wyble said.
And he did so in the nick of time, because seconds later, the roof collapsed.
The two firefighters were honored Wednesday at a luncheon by the Independent Insurance Agents of Houston. And they tell us they still keep in touch with the man whose life they saved.
"He is a great guy to spend time with, he still sends us messages on our phone, highlights in his life right now, and thanking us for what we did," said Wyble.
Two others on the same ladder truck were also nominated for Firefighter of the Year. Other nominees included a firefighter involved in rescuing someone from a burning apartment fire and a firefighter who helped save a woman from her submerged vehicle.

The popularity of meyer lemons is reflected in increasing volumes from New Zealand as U.S. importers seek to meet consumer demands during California's off season.
Just as popular as the easy-peeling, sweet lemon hybrids are the colorful, zipper bags with handles that some importers are using for the meyers.
Importers said there should be plenty of New Zealand meyers from July through September.
Giumarra Brothers Fruit Co. began importing New Zealand meyer lemons in 2010 and has steadily increased volumes. Jason Bushong, sales manager, said Giumarra expects to bring at least 10% more of the lemons to the U.S. for 2013 than it did in 2012.
"We're expanding the program again this year," Bushong said. "Last year the 2-pound zip-handle bag went really well so we are expanding use of it this year."
Bushong noted that one indicator of the growing popularity of meyer lemons is the assignment of a specific look-up code to the variety: PLU 3626. He said that should speed checkout for consumers and make it easier in general for retailers to handle the lemons.
One factor that makes New Zealand's meyer lemons ripe for import to the U.S. is the lack of a cold treatment requirement for the fruit. Importers said that allows them to provide retailers with fresher fruit that better retains its flavor.
A newcomer to the New Zealand meyer deal is Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Oviedo, Fla. Duda's citrus sales manager for the West, Paul Huckabay said the imports are needed to meet consumer demand after the California deal ends.
Huckabay said Duda's customer should expect a consistent flow of fruit through September.
Frieda's Inc., Los Alamitos, Calif., is again importing meyer lemons from New Zealand for the 2013 season. It is the eighth year for the company in the deal. This year, however, the extra-sweet lemons will be available in new upright, flat-bottomed bags with handles.
"We are thrilled to present new and improved packaging for our top-selling specialty lemons," Karen Caplan, chief executive officer, said in a news release.

Track: Kentucky Speedway
Event: Quaker State 400 Presented by Advance Auto Parts
Race Date / Time: Saturday, June 28th, 7:30 PM ET
TV / Radio: TNT / PRN Radio / SiriusXM
Started: 15th
Finished: 22nd
Running around the top 10 Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway, AJ Allmendinger and JTG Daugherty Racing's campaign for their best mile-and-a-half finish came to an end abruptly when something mysteriously went wrong with the No. 47 SCOTT® Products Chevrolet SS. When the rear of the car started moving around and shot sideways, it led Allmendinger to believe he had a right rear tire going down. The incident caused Allmendinger to pit under green at lap 211 giving up valuable track position. The end result was a 22nd-place finish.
"It was the most competitive mile-and-a-half car we have had all season Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway thanks to all the hard work from the team," Allmendinger said. "We had a top-10 car or top-15 for sure. We were running just outside the top 10 when all the sudden I thought I had a right rear tire going down. The back end was moving around and when I went into Turn 3, it turned sideways on me and I smelled smoke. Because I thought I had a flat, I pitted and then the caution came out. We ran out of laps to get track position back and had to settle for a 22nd-place finish. That's tough when you have a good car. It was another solid race for the pit crew too because they did a great job all night. I'm grateful for everyone's hard work and we'll try to turn things around at Daytona International Speedway."
"We had a strong night going and definitely felt like we had a top-10 car," crew chief Brian Burns said. "Every time we got track position, we were always better than the next few cars ahead of us. Running 10th or 11th, we had kind of a mystery problem with the right rear. AJ thought it was a flat and he was trying to be safe. He came down pit road under green and we never rebounded from it. Unfortunate for the finish, but we definitely know we had a strong car and we are getting better at these mile-and-a-half tracks."
