Rare Earths Shakedown
News today that Baotou Steel Rare Earth Group will "suspend production" of rare earths for a month . . . to stabilize falling prices. (see Chuin-wei Yap's article in the Wall Street Journal at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203897404578076030548046800.html)

TRANSLATION: 我的歷程 – 伍修權 "My Journey" - General Wu Xiuquan's Autobiography
I, long ago, from 1986 to 1988, translated these 90 pages of PLA General Wu Xiuquan’s(伍修權) autobiography, “My Journey” (or “My Career” or “My Curriculum Vitae” or something) 我的歷程. . . . then got distracted and in the meantime have misplaced my copy . . .
