Chinese Develop Missile That Can Take Out U.S. Aircraft Carriers.
From HuffPo
USS George Washington
U.S. naval planners are scrambling to deal with what analysts say is a game-changing weapon being developed by China – an unprecedented carrier-killing missile called the Dong Feng 21D that could be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles).
Man Sprays Women With Bottled Semen In Grocery Store…
From Gazette.net:
Police have arrested a Gaithersburg man suspected of spraying human semen on a woman standing in line at a Giant grocery store about two weeks ago, the Gaithersburg Police Department reported today.
Michael Wayne Edwards Jr., 28, of the 17000 block of Downing Street in Gaithersburg, was charged Thursday with second-degree assault in the July 15 attack, which police believe was not an isolated incident. An attorney was not listed for Edwards on Friday in an online state court records database and no hearing date has been set.
The woman was in line at the Giant store at 842 Muddy Branch Road on July 15, police said, when she noticed a man staring at her. As she was leaving the store, the man walked closely behind her and sprayed a liquid onto her back.
Police said they later determined the liquid was human semen.
Witnesses saw the man drive away in a gray car.
When officers interviewed Edwards after his arrest, they learned about additional victims, police said.
Anyone who believes he or she has been the victim of such a crime is asked to call the Gaithersburg Police Investigative Section at 301-258-6400.
Edwards was released on $4,000 bail, police said.
This was Edwards’ first arrest in Maryland, according to online court records.

Jim Siemers – 1947-2010 – Shipfitter – R.I.P.
Jim Siemers - 1947-2010 - "Master Shipfitter"
James Lee (Jim) Siemers quietly slipped from this life into eternity on July, 9th 2010 after a valiant battle with cancer…
He has always been… And ever will be… My Friend.
Royal Thai Navy - Rattanakosin - Built By Jim Siemers
Jim was a shipfitter. Jim was one of the few people on planet earth that can make thousands and thousands of tons of steel float and then go 40mph. And nobody, but nobody, did it better.
Royal Saudi Navy - Badr - Built By Jim Siemers
In his professional life… Jim was sometimes known as “Master Yoda.” And like the Jedi Master… Jim was humble yet quietly confident about his skills. But let there be no doubt… Shipbuilders up and down the West Coast knew him and respected and admired his skills. Jim built and worked on every kind of ship imaginable - Tankers, Tugs and Tuna boats… Aircraft Carriers, Submarines and Coast Guard Cutters. It didn’t matter to him… He loved them all. If it floats and is made of steel… Jim Siemers has very probably got one out on the water with his initials welded into it.
Tractor Tug - Built By Jim Siemers
Apollo One - Incinerator Ship - Built By Jim Siemers ... He repaired that crane too.
When Jim wasn’t fashioning a ship of some kind… He was working on a car or a motorcycle. His Ranchero and his Trike were projects that he tinkered on for years and years. Jim also had a pretty good reputation as a carpenter… When I met Jim… I thought I was a pretty hotshot Shipfitter myself… I was a babe in the woods compared to this guy. In the almost 10 years that we built ships together… The man constantly amazed me. What’s more… He constantly taught me… And he kept on teaching me for another 20 years.
You’re My WHAT??? – Relationship Chart…
Have you ever wondered exactly how you were related?
Are you confused with terms like “once removed”?
Follow the chart to determine your genetic link to your cousin.
To find the relationship of two persons (we’ll call them “A” and “B”), find person “A” in the row to the right of the Common Ancestor; then find person “B” in the column below the Common Ancestor. Then, simply follow the column of person “A” down to the box where it intersects with the row of person “B”.
For example, if “A” is a Grandson/Daughter of the Common Ancestor and “B” is a Great Grandson/Daughter of the Common Ancestor, the box where their respective column and row intersect tells us that they are First Cousins, Once Removed.

Workplace Bullying – An Epidemic?
According to a joint study by the polling firm Zogby and the Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI), an employee-advocacy group, nearly 50% of the U.S. workforce is either a victim of or a witness to bullying on the job.
In California, a scientist committed suicide after what she had described as years of mistreatment by an abusive boss. In Indiana, a medical technician sued and was awarded $325,000 in damages after his boss shouted threats at him with clenched fists.
