This May Not Seem Lke Much, But It Made Me (And Continues To Make Me) Feel A Little Better
*Not the actual sign (kind of a rendering)* *-by Ken* We're all finding ways of coping with the present you-know-what. I think this is worth talking about, but just now, after returning from a walk around my extended neighborhood, armed with ATM cash and a bag containing milk, strawberries, onions, and green and yellow bell peppers, I'm thinking about a bunch of people who live in my apartment building. I'm going to make up names, so as to avoid infringing on these folks' privacy, and for the same reason I squelched the idea of posting a picture of what I'm about to describe. (Or... more »

China Has An Aircraft Carrier – But No Jets to Train Pilots
*Michael Peck* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] That seems like a big problem. What good is an aircraft carrier without carrier-trained pilots? For the U.S. Navy, that’s no big deal. For nearly a century, it has been teaching fledgling aviators how to land on a little floating airfield on a dark night in the middle of the ocean. But for China’s navy, it’s a different story. The aircraft of the People’s Liberation Army Navy Air Force have been almost a totally land-based force, as befits a navy that only got its first carrier—a decrepit ex-Soviet model—a few years ago.
