"SYDNEY — A bomb-sniffing dog that disappeared during a fierce battle in Afghanistan between Australian troops and militant fighters has been found and returned to its unit after more than a year.And Sabi the black Labrador is getting a celebrity welcome home.Sabi was with a joint Australian-Afghan army patrol ambushed in restive Uruzgan province in September 2008, triggering a gunfight that wounded nine troops and earned one Australian soldier the country's highest bravery medal.But there was no sign of Sabi after the battle, and months of searching failed to find any sign of the retriever — until now.Defense officials said Thursday that a U.S. soldier recovered Sabi at an isolated patrol base elsewhere in Uruzgan. Further details about the base were not given.The dog was returned to the Australians' base in the province just in time for a visit by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who was photographed Wednesday along with the U.S. commander in Afghanistan Gen.

The symmetry of a game where Cutler throws a career high 5 INTs and breaks Alex Smith's 7 game losing streak is just too precious.

"MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee Army reservist’s military identification earned him some street cred Tuesday, when he says four men who mugged him at gunpoint returned his belongings and thanked him for his service after finding the ID.The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student said he was walking home from work at about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down and with a gun to his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys, his cell phone and even a PowerBar wrapper from his pants pockets, he said.But the hostile tone quickly changed when one of the robbers, whom the reservist presumed was the leader, saw an Army ID in the wallet. The robber told the others to return the items and they put most of his belongings on the ground next to him, including the wrapper, the reservist said.“The guy continued to say throughout the situation that he respects what I do and at one point he actually thanked me and he actually apologized,” said the...

"Windows: Panda Cloud, the constantly updated, cloud-run antivirus app that promises almost real-time protection from burgeoning web threats, is out of beta and available for a free download. As the How-To Geek detailed in his beta write-up, Panda does most of its computing, file-checking, and threat updating on its servers, leaving a very light and agile app presence on your system. It caches its threat database offline with a minimal bit of hard drive space, and the interface is far from cluttered, as you see above. In general, it's a very polite anti-virus app, and if the Geek considers it worth mentioning, well—he's far from calmly objective on the topic of anti-virus apps, so consider it a recommendation. During the beta process, Panda appears to have focused on tightening up CPU and memory usage even more, as well as fixing the "stuck" errors encountered by some users. If you're already running a beta, Panda recommends uninstalling that, and installing the 1.0 final. Panda Cloud Antivirus is a free download for home users and educational groups on Windows systems only."

"Sprint has announced that they will be cutting anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 jobs to improve their bottom line. The wireless carrier stated on Monday that they will look to trim their workforce both from internal hires and contract workers and that most of those layoffs will occur before the end of 2009. With the newest set of layoffs Sprint expects to save $350 million annually, they also announced during their notice that they will try to avoid any cuts that will cause their customer service to suffer, an area they have focused on improving over the last several years. Sprint has been slowly cutting costs over the last year, including various rounds of job cuts. The companies retention rate has also been better than in past years with popular releases, including the Palm Pre. Even with these cuts, the wireless provider still faces an uphill battle amid tough competition from their U.S. competitors."

"West Lafayette, IN (AHN) – Drugs encased inside tiny balls may soon be used to fix spinal injuries. Purdue University researchers have discovered a new approach for repairing damaged nerve fibers in spinal cord injuries using nano-spheres that could be injected into the blood shortly after an accident. The synthetic “copolymer micelles” are drug-delivery spheres roughly 100 times smaller than the diameter of a red blood cell. Researchers seeking ways to deliver drugs for cancer treatment and other therapies found medications could be stored in the spheres and transported directly to diseased or damaged tissue. The micelles themselves repair damaged fibers that transmit electrical impulses in the spinal cord, investigators said. “That was a very surprising discovery,” said Ji-Xin Cheng, an associate professor in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Chemistry. “Micelles have been used for 30 years as drug-delivery vehicles in research, but no one has ever used...
