Iran loses to Israel
At the World Masters Weightlifting Championship in Poland, Israeli competitor, Sergio Britva, took first place in his class. Britva lifted an astonishing 300kg of weight, beating the second-placed competitor, the Iranian Hossein Khodadadi, by 4 kilos.
The two athletes mounted the podium to receive their medals, together
with the third-placed competitor from Germany. Britva and the German
shook hands. But when Britva offered his hand to Khodadadi, the Iranian refused it...

Missiles plural.......from Rico
The SoCal missile (laughingly referred to as a 'contrail' so as not to panic a clueless public) was NOT the first such incident this year off the coast of North America.
There were two off the coast of Canada (last January), which the Canadian press DID report, not being hindered yet by the 'protect-the-progressive-cause' mentality
that infests American lame-stream media....which dutifully did NOT report the Canadian story.
- The Canadian pictures reflected the same 'dirty burn' mentioned in the below remarks, but no one had the experience to comment on the telemetry/absence of cork-screwing in those firings. Both were subsurface launches, and the Canadian pictures match the ones we have been begrudgingly provided by our Ministry of Truth.
Of course, we must not panic the sheeple so instead slather them with misdirection and B.S. keeping all in a mushroom-like state of complacency.
Having seen incoming Scuds and Silkworms, and outgoing Tomahawks and Exocets, I have to agree with this gentleman's appraisal.
- We have a real problem here, compounded by official coyness (let's hope it is not sheer ineptness, but go figure the odds of THAT in the present state of affairs).
Since the Hillarybeast (also known as Obama-Soetoro's Secretary of State by some, and a flaming Chablis Communist by yours truly) recently gifted the Paleswinians with $150 million of our hard-earned tax dollars, I wonder if they decided to buy (North) Korean to make their missile dollars go further...just like Western drivers buy (South) Korean cars to stretch their dollars?

TSA molesters...............from Rico
This is too much like life imitating 'art.'
I'm told there was once a running cartoon in a popular men's magazine entitled "Chester the Molester."
- Maybe you'll recall it.
Maybe you are also aware that Obama-Soetoro's Head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Janet Napolitano, a few years back declared American veterans (especially combat veterans) a terrorist threat and issued a bulletin to national law enforcement agencies to that effect. Not that she is in favor of 'profiling' mind you: if you are a Middle-eastern-looking young male, you are NOT profiled and are instead given a free upgrade to the seat nearest the cockpit; if you are an average, typical, white Iowan Grandmother...you get strip-searched before boarding the flight.
- Never mind that she recently made the Homeland 'safer' by appointing two Muslims to high positons in that agency.
- And, since I am still trying to figure THIS one out, never mind that she is the only Lesbian I have ever heard of to have had an abortion. [?]
The latest attempt to make us all 'safer' involves nude (possibly cancer-causing) x-ray body scanners. This should generate a lot of extra revenue for TSA (thousands standing around) since they can 'sell' and/or trade the scans they choose to save.....having already lied about NOT saving scans.
Until road-blocks are established, I have decided that late departure-late arrivals were already annoying enough, but having my genitals revenge-groped by a fugly male TSA moron because I 'opted out' of the scan just isn't appealing to me (as it might be to any number of Nancy Pelosi's constituents in Fran San Sicko). Knowing the Gov't is involved, I understand that the likelihood of a Monica Belluci doing the job is just not an option, even with a Fist-class ticket! I will drive in future, and avoid ALL air travel. The minimum wage, low IQ, hobby cop, perverts that they are have convinced me it's simply not worth it.
- I bet a lot of folks will feel the same way. Just what a struggling economy and travel industy 'need' right now is a travel boycott caused by the Groperment!
In case you missed it, I have obtained a cover-sheet of a new publication DHS Janet-from-another-planet and her TSA are currently printing.
Some of you wanted HOPE and CHANGE? This is what you get for being too 'dim' to ask what exactly was meant by that.

THE STATE FAIR
We went to the State Fair and one of the first exhibits we stopped at was the breeding bulls. We went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said, "THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR"
My wife playfully nudged me in the ribs, smiled and said, "He mated 50 times last year."
We walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, "THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR"
My wife gave me a healthy jab and said, "WOW! That's more than TWICE A WEEK ! ! ! . . . . You could learn a lot from him!"
We walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, "THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR"
My wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke my ribs, and she said, "That's ONCE A DAY ! ! ! You could REALLY learn something from this one."
I looked at her and said, "Go over and ask him if it was with the same old cow every time."
My condition has been upgraded from critical to stable, and I should eventually make a full recovery.
China Challenges United States for Aerospace Leadership
Cross-posted from American Power.
*****
I mentioned earlier some of my quibbles with Professor Joseph Nye on the likelihood of continued American preponderance. Actually, my quibbles are even smaller than quibbles, if quibbles can be quantified. Mostly, our massive fiscal deficits are upsetting, and I'm hoping to have something to say on "American Profligacy and American Power," by Roger Altman and Richard Haass. But I have to admit I was caught off guard by this report at LAT, "China to Unveil Its Own Large Jetliner":
China is aiming to reshape the global aviation industry with a home-grown jetliner, a direct challenge to the supremacy of Boeing and Airbus, the world's only manufacturers of large commercial aircraft.Actually, we've dealt with such scenarios before, when Americans were concerned with growing Japanese industrial competitiveness in the late-1980s (see, "Beyond Mutual Recrimination: Building a Solid U.S.-Japan Relationship in the. 1990s," and "Do Relative Gains Matter? America's Response to Japanese Industrial Policy"). Back then, the U.S. response was to place export controls on sensitive industrial sectors, especially in aerospace. I can't imagine in just twenty years that kind of realpolitik in economic policy (neo-mercantilism) has been completely repudiated at the top levels of strategic planning. Perhaps Japan was more brazenly competitive, or China's more stealthy now. Either way, concerns for relative gains contributed to restrictions on sensitive technologies, and limits on private sector exports and cooperation in strategic technologies.
The communist government has staked billions of dollars and national pride on the effort. What may surprise some Americans worried about slipping U.S. competitiveness is that some well-known U.S. companies are aiding China in its quest.
That partnership will be on display next week at an air show in southern China with the unveiling of a full-scale mockup of the C919. Slated for production by 2016, the 156-seat, single-aisle passenger plane would have its fuselage emblazoned with Comac, short for the state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China. But inside, the most crucial systems would bear the trademarks of some of the biggest names in Western aviation.
Honeywell International Inc. will supply power units, on-board computing systems, wheels and brakes; Rockwell Collins Inc. will handle navigation systems; GE Aviation is building the avionics; Eaton Corp. is involved with fuel and hydraulics; and Parker Aerospace of Irvine is responsible for flight controls. Powering the aircraft will be two fuel-efficient engines built by CFM International, a company co-owned by GE and French conglomerate Safran.
Global supply chains are common in the aviation industry: Chicago-based Boeing and Europe's Airbus rely on parts makers and assembly operations around the world. But China isn't content just to buy sophisticated gear for the C919; the government has required foreign suppliers to set up joint ventures with Chinese companies.
That has put U.S. and European suppliers in a tough spot: Be willing to hand over advanced technology to Chinese firms that could one day be rivals or miss out on what's likely to be the biggest aviation bonanza of the next half a century. Honeywell alone has snagged contracts worth more than $11 billion for the project.
"You're faced with either being part of it or not," said Billy Lay, a Dubai-based partner at PRTM, an international consulting firm with expertise in aerospace. "I don't know what the alternatives are."
Maybe we're complacent. But we're still on top, at least for now. See, "Asia and Europe Giving U.S. Science a Run for the Money":
I'll be back to this topic soon. President Obama was just in the news last week with the statement that America's best days were behind us: "Obama Acknowledges Decline of U.S. Dominance." The president is post-American anyway, but the matter's worth paying attention to. As noted, I'm mostly with Joseph Nye above. But extreme levels of deficit and debt, and now with new signs of threatening international economic competition, look to be putting tremendous pressure on the continuation of American world leadership.The United States still leads the world with its scientific clout, armed with highly respected universities and a big war chest of funding, but Europe and Asia are catching up, according to a Thomson Reuters report released on Friday.
The U.S. emphasis on biological and medical sciences leaves the fields of physical sciences and engineering open to the competition, the report finds.
"The United States is no longer the Colossus of Science, dominating the research landscape in its production of scientific papers, that it was 30 years ago," the report reads.
"It now shares this realm, on an increasingly equal basis, with the EU27 (the 27 European Union members) and Asia-Pacific," adds the report, available at http://researchanalytics.thomsonreuters.com/grr/.
