After 60 Years, B-52s Still Dominate U.S. Fleet
 
The B-52 is an Air Force plane that refuses to die. Originally slated for retirement generations ago, it continues to be deployed in conflict after conflict. It dropped the first hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Islands in 1956, and laser-guided bombs in Afghanistan in 2006. It has outlived its replacement. And its replacement's replacement. And its replacement's replacement's replacement. 
 
Air Force commanders are now urging the Pentagon to deploy B-52s in Syria.

INVENTION OF THE CAR BACK-UP SENSOR
Thanks, Marty
 
Most of the newest cars have a Back-Up Sensor that warns the driver before
the rear bumper actually comes in contact with something.
 
Most people probably think that this valuable feature came out of the minds of engineers,
but it was recently disclosed that the concept was first developed by a Chinese farmer.
 
His invention was simple and effective.
It emits a high-pitched squeal when the vehicle backs into something.
 
 
 
 

Well ...what can I say without offending Obambo?

Sinaloa: arrests made in the Australian surfer murders

Posted: 04 Dec 2015 06:03 PM PST

Lucio R. Borderland Beat republished from NYT with info from Reforma



Take it or leave it, authorities have solved the crime, and arrested the suspects, the same authorities who previously claimed the bodies sustained no gunshots...here is what they now claim ......LR

Three suspects ( Julio Cesar Gonzalez Muniz, Martin Rogelio Muniz Ponce and Sergio Simon Benitez Gonzalez) have been detained in connection with the presumed killing of two Australian tourists who went missing last month, prosecutors in Mexico's Sinaloa state said Friday.

State prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera said the three men were robbing motorists on a stretch of highway leading south through Navolato, Sinaloa. He said two other suspected members of the robbery gang remained at large.

The three were arrested on low-level drug-dealing and weapons charges, but Higuera said he expects homicide charges to be filed against them soon.

"This is just a gang of five people who committed highway robberies. They don't have links to drug cartels," Higuera said.

One of them had previously been investigated for the killing of a man in a similar robbery, prosecutors said.

The gang is alleged to have killed Adam Coleman and Dean Lucas after Coleman resisted the robbery just after midnight Nov. 21. The thieves allegedly shot the two Australians to death, then doused their van with gasoline and set it afire.

Two charred bodies found inside the van the next day have not yet been positively identified. Tests are continuing. But the van's vehicle identification number matched one registered to Coleman in Canada.

Evidence presented at a news conference showed the arrested men had rifles, a shotgun, pistols, 124 small bags of methamphetamine and jackets with police logos on them. It was unclear whether they were wearing the police jackets at the time they allegedly stopped the van.

According to prosecutors, a lookout for the gang spotted the van before it got to Navolato and advised his accomplices it was a likely target.

The thieves apparently stopped the van after it passed a toll booth, as the two Australians drove south through Sinaloa toward Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city.

Prosecutors said the thieves, traveling in an SUV, forced the van to stop. Coleman purportedly struggled with the thieves, and one of them shot Coleman, but he didn't die immediately. The van was then driven to a rural road, where both victims were apparently shot to death and one member of the gang lit the van on fire.


Coleman and Lucas were traveling to Guadalajara from Edmonton, Alberta, and failed to arrive as planned on Nov. 21. The two surfers got off a ferry from the Baja California peninsula at Topolobampo, Sinaloa, at about 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 20. The burned-out van was found the next day.

Russia's Failed Adventure in Syria...

Russia's Failed Adventure in Syria

by Con Coughlin  •  December 1, 2015 at 5:00 am

  • Then there is the question of just how long Russia can afford to sustain its expensive military adventure in Syria. The Russian economy already has enough difficulties without having to bear the cost of Mr Putin's latest act of military aggression.

Left: A Russian SU-24 bomber crashing after being shot down by a Turkish F-16 fighter on Nov. 24. Right: A Syrian rebel fighter prepares to fire a TOW missile at an Assad regime tank.

Russian President Vladimir Putin may well come to regret agreeing to Iran's request for Moscow to intervene militarily in Syria's brutal civil war.

The shooting down of a Russian warplane over the Syrian border by Turkey has graphically illustrated the risks Moscow faces after the Kremlin agreed to intervene on behalf of Syria's beleaguered President Bashar al-Assad.

Mr Putin took his fateful decision to launch military action in Syria after meeting Major-General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's notorious Quds Force, in Moscow last August. Visiting Moscow shortly after the conclusion of June's deal on the future of Iran's nuclear programme (JCPOA), Soleimani delivered a blunt warning to the Russian leader that the Assad regime, Russia's long-standing strategic ally in the Middle East, faced defeat without outside support.
