There's more to link the fun, according to a new research study that says find success in romance depends in part on understanding their own "way of flirting."
Whether or not you want sidlingup a stranger in a bar or prefer to sit and wait for an object of attraction approach are the distinctions that once recognized can help people navigatethe relations rocky seas, according to Jeffrey Hall , assistant professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas.
Hall recently completed a study on flirting styles among adults appointments, surveys of more than 5,100 people about their methods of communication of romantic interest.
"Knowing something about how to communicate attraction says something about the challenges that might have had in his past life data," said Hall. "We hope this awareness can help avoid these mistakes and succeed in courtship."
Hall said they are basically five types of flirting: physical, traditional, friendly, sincere and cheerful.
Flirting In physics, people express their sexual interest in a potential mate and, she says, often can quickly develop relationships, have more sexual chemistry and have a greater emotional connection with their partners.
traditional flirts tend to believe that men should make the first movement, with women assuming a more passive role. Both sexes seem comfortable with this style prefer more "intimate" scenes of appointments, he said.
Many people flirting styles fall into the category of "fun" and directed largely to increase their self-esteem, said Hall. These people are less likely to have lasting and meaningful relationships, he added.
"In some ways, the earlier part of the development of relationships is important for successful long-term relationships, including marriages," he said.
Hall co-authored article with Steve Carter, senior director of product research and development of online dating site eHarmony.com, and other researchers.

Ailing Israeli Leader Undergoes New Surgery
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon underwent five hours of emergency surgery on Friday to relieve cranial pressure and stop bleeding on his brain. Mr. Sharon's doctors say the surgery was successful, but Mr. Sharon remains in critical condition.
Ariel Sharon's battle to stay alive entered a new phase when, early Friday, his doctors rushed him back into the operating room for the third time in less than 48 hours.
A CAT scan had indicated renewed bleeding on his brain and other complications. After an hours-long operation, Hadassah Hospital's director, Dr. Shlomo Mor-Yosef, emerged to brief hundreds of reporters.
"During the surgery, the intercranial pressure was released, the clotting from the previous operation was cleaned from the brain, and there is no active bleeding at the moment," he explained.
Dr. Mor-Josef says a new CAT scan taken after Mr. Sharon's latest surgery was encouraging.
"After the operation, we performed a CAT scan at our imaging center here at Hadassah, and when (we) compared the results of the CAT scan of today with the previous CAT scan, we can see a significant improvement," he added.
Dr. Mor-Josef says, even though the results from the CAT scan are better than those taken previously, Mr. Sharon remains in critical condition.
Mr. Sharon's two sons, Omri and Gilad, remain by his bedside. Israel's prime minister has been widowed twice.
Government offices closed Friday in observance of the Jewish Sabbath, which began at dusk. Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and other senior government officials are monitoring Mr. Sharon's condition closely.
One senior Israeli politician, former Prime Minister Shimon Peres, did visit Hadassah Hospital on Friday. Mr. Peres, a longtime Labor Party leader, who recently joined Mr. Sharon's newly formed Kadima Party, expressed support for Mr. Olmert and continuity in Israeli policy.
"Legally, according to our constitution, he is to be the prime minister in charge of the situation," said Mr. Peres. "I think every citizen has to support him. So, do I. I wish him success, and I hope that the continuation of the peace process and the attempt to bring an end to terrorism will continue full speed."
Even as Ariel Sharon was battling for his life, speculation about who will succeed him was heating up. Polls released on Friday show Mr. Sharon's newly formed Kadima Party could still win in Israeli elections on March 28.
Still unresolved is who will lead the party following Mr. Sharon's departure, but polls show many Israelis would support Ehud Olmert as a new party leader.
Joshua Teitelbaum of the Moshe Dayan Center and a professor at Tel Aviv University says the polling data will likely change by Election Day.
"As far as polls go, I think you have to take them with a grain of salt," he said. "I think what you have now is a bit of a sympathy vote. It may be that they lose support in a couple of days or weeks. This Kadima Party was really Sharon's party in every way, so, without Sharon, I think you will see it lose support after the sympathy vote dissipates."
Polls taken just before Mr. Sharon's massive stroke on Wednesday showed him a heavy favorite to win re-election to a historic third term as prime minister of Israel.

US to Decide if China is Manipulating Currency
The Obama administration faces a deadline Friday on whether to formally label China a "currency manipulator." The U.S. Treasury Department may apply that label in a twice-a-year report on global currencies which is expected to be released on Friday. The reporting requirement is mandated by Congress, but the report could be postponed.U.S. lawmakers and businesses accuse China of keeping its currency, artificially low, giving Chinese-made goods a price advantage on world markets.
Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman Yao Jian said Friday the United States should not make the yuan a "scapegoat" for its domestic problems. He said it is unfair to criticize the yuan's exchange rate by simply pointing at the Chinese trade surplus. China posted a $16.9 billion trade surplus in September. That was less than the $20 billion surplus in August but enough to prompt new demands for the world's second-largest economy to let the yuan trade more freely on financial markets.

Millions of people in the United States suffer from osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease
These replacement joints can be made of combinations of metal alloys, plastic and ceramic, but new research shows that it might be possible to regenerate damaged joints using a patient's own stem cells.
Osteoarthritis is the result of infection, trauma or simply age, and is the leading cause of chronic disability worldwide.
The disease causes cartilage-protecting joint surfaces to degrade, allowing painful bone-to-bone contact. Osteoarthritis is usually treated with pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs, but in severe cases, the damaged joint can be replaced with an artificial one. However, this option may not work well for the growing population of younger arthritic patients.
"The average lifespan of the metal joints is about 10 to 15 years," says Jeremy Mao at the Columbia University Medical Center. "So as you can imagine, if you are say 50, 55 or younger, the surgeons will be very hesitant to place these metal joints in your body because knowing that in 10 to 15 years, there's a chance these would fail."
In order to address this concern, Mao is exploring new ways to regenerate joints.
Growing new joint cells
Mao replaced a portion of a rabbit's upper arm joint with a biomaterial scaffold, providing a place for cells to grow. In order to attract the rabbit's own stem cells to re-grow the cartilage, channels in the scaffold were filled with a growth factor protein.
"What we found was with one protein that we delivered in the micro-channels in the scaffolds, that was sufficient to regenerate the entire joint surface with cartilage and with bone and with blood vessels," says Mao. "So when we observe these animals with the replacement joints, what we found was there was regeneration of the entire joint that allowed the animals to resume weight-bearing and locomotion."
This return to normalcy occurred just four months after the surgical procedure, with newly grown cartilage fully covering the joint surface. When the mechanical properties of this new cartilage were tested, they showed that the regenerated cells were just as effective as the rabbit's naturally formed cartilage.
Added benefits
While human trials are still a long way off, scientists in the field are excited and encouraged by the research.
"It's absolutely necessary that we continue to push the envelope in terms of try to develop new innovative and more natural ways of effectively treating arthritis," says Dr. Mary O'Connor, chairperson of Orthopedic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Florida.
O'Connor says there is significant benefit to using this type of treatment for arthritis in the knee.
"When we do a knee replacement, we remove one or sometimes both of the cruciate ligaments - which are the ligaments in the center of the knee. So one of the potential advantages of this growing joint technique is perhaps the ability to preserve more of those tissues inside the knee, which would hopefully translate into more natural mechanics of the knee."
O'Connor says cost could be a factor in deciding to use this treatment. While it may not be worthwhile for older patients, younger patients are more likely to regard anything that gives them a lifelong working knee joint as well worth the cost.

Bush Says Hunt for bin Laden Continues
President George Bush says America's greatest challenge is stopping terrorist leader Osama bin Laden from attacking the country again. The president spoke at the swearing-in of the new Director of Homeland Security.
President Bush says U.S. forces are on a constant hunt for bin Laden, whose al-Qaida terrorist group was behind the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
The president referred to recent intelligence reports that bin Laden is trying to recruit Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to organize attacks outside Iraq.
President Bush says coalition and Iraqi forces are working day and night to dismantle al-Zarqawi's terrorist network in Iraq and bring him to justice. At the same time, Mr. Bush says U.S. troops are keeping the pressure on bin Laden, keeping him in hiding.
"Bin Laden's message is a telling reminder that al-Qaida still hopes to attack us on our own soil. Stopping him is the greatest challenge of our day," the president said.
The president spoke following the swearing-in of former judge and federal prosecutor Michael Chertoff as America's new Director of Homeland Security.
"Mike Chertoff knows we can not afford to become complacent. He understands that as we adapt our defenses, the terrorists will adapt their tactics in response. He understands they continue to pose a grave threat to the American people," Mr. Bush said.
The president says U.S. actions since the September 11 attacks have already made the world safer by toppling regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, convincing Libya to give up its weapons of mass destruction, and breaking-up the nuclear trading network of Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan.
Mr. Bush says while confronting terrorists abroad makes Americans safer at home, there can be no let up in protecting U.S. borders.
"We have been relentless and we will continue to be relentless in our mission to secure the people of this country," the president said. "From Florida to California to Massachusetts, we have arrested and prosecuted terrorist operatives and their supporters. By our actions we are sending the world a clear message: 'The terrorists will not be permitted sanctuary or safe haven or the tools of mass murder'."
Secretary Chertoff takes charge of an agency with 160,000 employees from border patrol and Secret Service to the Coast Guard and immigration control. He succeeds former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge who was the nation's first Director of Homeland Security, following the biggest government reorganization since World War II.

The number of boat people trying to reach Australia continues to surge, with a new boat recently found
So far this year, about 900 illegal migrants have been found at sea near Australia - four times the number for all of 2008. The surge has authorities worried.
In the latest case, about 73 asylum seekers are being taken to the Australian territory of Christmas Island in the middle of the Indian Ocean for processing.
Most of the migrants trying to reach Australia this year are escaping fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Most travel to Malaysia or Indonesia where people smugglers have established the logistics, however dangerous, to ferry people in search of safety and a better life into Australian waters.
Pamela Curr is a campaign strategist for the Asylum Resource Center in Melbourne. She says more needs to be done to help those seeking to flee troubled homelands.
"The fact of life is there is [are] no formal or thoughtful mechanisms for someone facing death in Afghanistan or Iraq to get out," Curr said. "They go to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Jakarta, they get turned away and told to go to the Australian embassy. They go to the Australian embassy, same thing. This is what they tell me, four to five times they go backward and forward and then where do they go? They go to the people smuggler who offers them a trip on a boat."
The increased numbers has resulted in much closer cooperation among customs agents and police in Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia where Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd recently visited and asked for help in shutting down people smuggling.
However, Curr says this will not be enough to stop the current wave of boat people despite the perils of barely seaworthy vessels.
"We can give advice from our perspective and that is 'Don't get on a boat, you stand a good chance of drowning because the boats that are used are boats that are disposable,'" Curr said. "The fishermen who rent them out and bring them across know they are going to be burnt at the other end. So they are not boats that are fit for a return journey."
Curr says despite those warnings, until life in Central Asia and the Middle East improves, and governments in transit countries like Indonesia and Malaysia firmly grasp the issue, the flow into Australia is unlikely to abate.
Members of the conservative opposition blame Prime Minister Rudd for the increased flow, because he eased rules on indefinitely detaining suspected illegal migrants and other policies on boat people. The opposition argues that Mr. Rudd's new policies encourage people to sneak into the country.
Australia accepts more than 10,000 refugees a year, after they have been screened through official programs run by the United Nations and other organizations.

South Korea and the United States are wrapping up senior diplomatic talks on North Korea's nuclear weapons with a show of unity
They say a six-nation process that has been underway for six years must be preserved.
Senior U.S. Envoy on North Korea, Stephen Bosworth, emerged from meetings with South Korean counterparts in Seoul holding firm to Washington's insistence that Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities must be ended.
"We have had very useful conversations here with our South Korean partners," he said, "we are agreed entirely that denuclearization, complete and verifiable, remains our core interest."
Bosworth has been in the South Korean capital since Friday, holding meetings with officials including chief South Korean nuclear negotiator Wi Wung-lac and Unification Minister Hyun In-taek.
Both sides are expressing concern over North Korean statements on Friday that Pyongyang is continuing to extract plutonium from spent nuclear fuel for material useable in weapons.
The North also said it had reached the final stage of a uranium enrichment program, possibly creating a second process by which it can build nuclear arms. Until this year, Pyongyang has denied U.S. accusations it possessed a covert HEU, or highly enriched uranium program, in violation of previous agreements.
Bosworth said the problem will take time to solve.
"This is not the first we have heard of HEU," he said. "And it may not be the last."
Bosworth repeated the Obama administration's policy that Washington is willing to talk one-on-one with North Korea, but only within the framework of six-nation talks begun in 2003 aimed at ending all of the North's nuclear capabilities.
North Korea has declared those talks "dead" several times this year, and says it is willing to deal only with the United States as a fellow nuclear weapons nation.
The United States and South Korea say they will be diligent about implementing U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed after North Korea conducted the second nuclear weapons test in its history in May.

President Obama and his family are vacationing on the Gulf coast to show support for businesses hurt by the BP oil leak since April
Many residents hope the visit sends a positive message that the beaches are open to tourists.
Whether or not President Obama jumps in the Gulf of Mexico, the coast is clear. Surfers enjoyed the waves off Panama City Beach this weekend, and families jumped in the water to take a break from the heat.
There are no signs of oil here, even though visitors like Brian Jacks were not sure what they would find when they arrived.
"You are expecting to see oil all over the place [but] it's actually pretty nice," said Jacks.
Jacks came from nearby Alabama to scuba dive at St. Andrews State Park. He is pleased to see clean waters. But he was surprised at the relatively low number of tourists.
"Normally when we come down here it's just packed. You can't get into stores or restaurants. And now it is pretty free-flowing," he added. "You can tell the economy has slowed down a good bit."
Businesses across the Gulf coast say they are suffering because of the oil leak that started from the explosion on April 20. BP oil crews capped the leak last month, but tourist numbers are still down for many hotels, restaurants and other stores.
The trip by President Obama, his wife and younger daughter is intended as a show of support for the struggling region. White House officials hope it shows the rest of the country that the Gulf is safe and open for business.
At Treasure Island marina, Bobby Robinette says his charter boat company and others could use some help to bring in more tourists.
"We don't have a problem with oil, we have a problem with people thinking there is a problem," noted Robinette. "So if we get some good publicity, maybe it will offset some of the bad publicity."
President Obama has made four other trips to the Gulf coast, to review clean-up efforts. First Lady Michele Obama also visited Panama City Beach last month.
Republican critics says the latest trip is merely a photo opportunity that offers little help to the struggling economy.
At Treasure Island seafood market, fishmonger Joe Brown says it may be too late for the president's trip to change anything. He says sales are way down, as there are fewer boats bringing in fresh seafood, and fewer tourists to buy it.
"The damage is done. There is nothing he can do, unless he goes out there and puts a Tyvek suit on and starts cleaning up oil himself," said Brown.
Too late or not, the President shouldn't leave without tasting local oysters. Hunt's Oyster Bar has been serving oysters non-stop since the oil leak started. Robert Daffin stays busy prying open the shellfish to serve customers.
"Our specialty is fresh, cold Apalachicola oysters," said Daffin. "Right now they are very salty. You just get it open, make sure there is no shell in it. There you go, nice and salty. No oil there."
Daffin says he has seen the restaurant business go up this year,as more tourists came to Panama City Beach to avoid spots that were hit hard by oil. There is plenty left to share, however, including a dozen raw oysters he would offer the president if he came to the restaurant.
"Then I would add to that probably a dozen fried shrimp, some fresh gator tail. We do that blackened. And always grouper and snapper," he added.
Businesses like Hunt's are happy to have any visitors, not just the president.

Warren Fletcher warned Manchester United not to underestimate
The day after tomorrow morning, Manchester United will be away to La Liga giants Valencia, this is the new UEFA Champions League second group stage, in the summer, due to financial difficulties of Valencia has sold the Villa Barcelona to sell Silva Manchester City, the strength has been weakened significantly, but the Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher is not at all chances.

In the Sunday game because of tactical reasons are advanced for end of Fletcher said: "This will be a difficult game, one might say that the past is no longer Valencia Valencia that support, because they have no Villa and Silva, but as an example of our Manchester United, when we lose good players, other players will stand up and take more responsibility, they do have a good start. "
Manchester United have confirmed that Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney will miss the game because of injury, in order to qualify to complete the task, certainly not like playing the Champions League Sir Alex Ferguson as frozen Ababa, the weekend's ready for 90 minutes most of the veteran Paul Scholes is also to be rotated, Manchester United is likely to send a more youthful midfield, Anderson, Gibson may have a chance to even starting, and at the back, Ferguson may also consider replacing Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, Evans partner, after all, Name teenager in the new Premiership season, the performance of the first few games are not as satisfactory.
And Fletcher is convinced that, no matter how young players sent Ferguson played in this Champions League, Manchester United will have enough experience: "We have accumulated enough experience in the Champions League, we are confident that we know how to deal away, and the different style of football against the Spanish team, the ball is the key, if you lose the ball easily, as long as you do not point up a few minutes, they will punish you.

Indian think tank, said China will restart the 24 Il-78 tanker procurement
Chi-Ku Qinnai Indian Strategic Research Center of China website 23 article said that China build a strategic air force had planned to buy 16-24 aircraft IL-78 tanker, but the introduction of four in 2002, after the project was suspended Gaixing Ji , the message said the project will soon be restarted. IL-78 and Su-27 tanker able to Su-30 fighter planes to reach capacity expanded to 3,000 km, which will enhance the current by the troops of the 250 F -10 F -11 fighter and combat radius.
Shift the focus of China's military modernization of information and high-tech war
The article said that China's military modernization, especially since the reform and opening up of China's military modernization has been the world's political, military, diplomatic, and think tanks to discuss. Since 2000, the Pentagon submitted to Congress annually a report on China's military power. According to the "Third Modernization of the Chinese army," said Wang Wenrong of the PLA modernization of the main body of soldiers, weapons and equipment, military doctrine and force structure.
According to Wang Wenrong said the first time the Chinese military modernization since the founding of the mid-80s began the end of the last century. In the first few years, China's military modernization is to support and under the influence of the Soviet Union launched. China under Mao Zedong conceptualize and implement "an early, big fight, a nuclear war," the guiding ideology, and to promote the people's war theory, and later gave up its 50 years of last century "one-sided" policy. "Cultural Revolution" to the Chinese economy, science and technology, industry and agriculture caused by a heavy blow. China's military modernization has suffered huge losses. However, in this case, China is still the field of missile technology has made tremendous progress, successfully conducted an underground nuclear test, and it's first satellite launch.
The second and third military modernization since the beginning of the last century and the mid-80s late 90s. Third Plenary Session of the CPC, the Chinese recognize that the world situation has undergone a fundamental change, peace and development have become major issues of concern to the Chinese Communists. "An early, big fight, a nuclear war" came back to the military strategy of "active defense" above, and later developed into the "win a modern high-tech competition for the next Council." Since the second half of 1985, the Chinese military began a large-scale restructuring and streamlining of the PLA. The end of 1987, when millions of Chinese about disarmament. Disarmament is the main focus of the headquarters and directly under the military. By 1990, when China had 3.19 million disarmament. At the same time, the PLA has also eliminated a large number of obsolete weapons and equipment, including nearly ten thousand artillery pieces, 1,100 tanks, 2,500 aircraft and 610 warships. 11 army into military also adjusted 7.
The article says the early 90s of last century, after the Gulf War, the Chinese recognize that the war machines of the industrial age of information warfare will be gradually replaced. China's military modernization focus should be shifted to information and high-tech war. At this stage, the basic factors of China's military modernization is its power projection outside of the Chinese border. This includes the PLA Navy will cause a blue-water navy to play, access to air refueling capability, build a rapid reaction force, improvement of nuclear arsenals and other targets. Therefore, the third time the Chinese military modernization is to build a strategic task to winning the information war, information technology units. To achieve this goal, the Central Military Commission, a three-step strategy. Described the case of the PLA National Defense University Professor Han Xudong ultimate goal of modernization: the Chinese army should fight local wars to the "global war" in the direction of change. He said that in order to achieve this goal, China must find a military alliance, the establishment of overseas bases, the use of military means to resolve the "problem", to participate in international military efforts to strengthen the PLA's combat capability.
China is using ground forces of modern tanks and artillery upgrades
The article said that the modernization of the PLA ground forces, mainly around the reduction and reorganization of personnel and equipment carried out in order to build a stronger small-scale mobility, combat power more troops. PLA Academy of Military Sciences in 2008, said after the reorganization of the PLA Navy, Air Force and Second Artillery Corps, the percentage increased by 3.8%, while the percentage of ground forces was reduced by 1.5%. In theory, the ground force of about 160 million, representing about 70% of the total strength of the PLA. However, the data also include administrators and support staff. Therefore, the PLA ground forces, the size of the actual combat forces may be much smaller, although service can be prepared by 80 million, 66 million and 10 million militia armed police force is rapidly increasing.
As for weapons development, until the 80s of last century, when the PLA is still the major development of conventional weapons and strategic nuclear weapons, China was the late 80s that China needs to catch up with developed countries the level of weapons and equipment, to bridge the existing gap. This means that China wants to develop other weapons such as anti-aircraft and anti-tank systems. The late 80s of last century, China developed a series of new air defense weapons and equipment, including small / light / portable shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, the red flag red flag -61 -7 and anti-aircraft missile system. China is the use of modern tanks, armored personnel carriers to upgrade the PLA ground forces and artillery. Since 2004, the PLA carried out on conventional equipment, information transformation. In 2007, China's first armored division main battle group information to complete a new equipment replacement task. According to military analysts, advanced digital tank fire control system and vehicle location system can attack rate by 90%. In the "North Sword -2007" military exercises, the division sent out hundreds of tanks, according to C4ISR integrated system of command, perform the task. According to the 2010 China Military Power Report said, the PLA ground forces are being acquired or developed new capabilities, including third-generation Type 99 main battle tanks, a new generation of amphibious assault vehicles, 200 mm / 300 mm / 400 mm multiple-launch rocket systems.
Chinese Air Force will restart the procurement of 16-24 aircraft IL-78 tanker project
The article said that the PLA Air Force has Airborne Division, surface to air missile divisions (brigades and regiments), antiaircraft artillery brigades (regiments), radar brigades (regiments) and other security forces. To weapons and equipment of the PLA Air Force currently has more than 700 around the modern fighters. In the Russian-made fighter planes, based on Chinese design and produce their "J" series and "F" series of fighters. According to the Chinese Central Military Commission, member of the PLA Air Force Commander General, said Xu Qiliang, 1963, the Chinese copy of the MiG -29 fighters, the successful production of a J-6 fighters, until August 2006 when this aircraft was only eliminated. According to the letter, J-6 fighters have been training for the implementation of information technology tasks. Later, China has developed J-8I, FT-7III and FT-7 trainer aircraft. Subsequently, he was also in the F-8 and F-8I, based on research and development of the J-8II aircraft. 90s of last century, China imported from Russia and Su Su -27 -30 fighters, in the spring of 1998 on the basis of these aircraft, the successful development of the J-10 and third-generation J-11 fighter aircraft. It sinodefense.com, Web site reported that China's current fighter inventory mainly from the third and fourth generation of fighters and bombers composition, including the 800-1000 J-7 and J-8II fighters, 76 Russian-made Su -27 fighter, 95 -116 J-11 fighter aircraft, 76 Russian-made Su-39MKK multi-mission aircraft, and 60 to 80 Chinese-made J-10 multi-mission aircraft.
The article says that in building a strategic air force, the Chinese tanker procurement IL-8. Before and after the new millennium, China plans to purchase 16-24 this tanker. However, in 2002, after the introduction of four such tanker, the procurement plan seems to be suspended. However, in the near future, the program may restart. IL-78 aerial refueling tanker could Su Su -27 and -30 extend the combat radius of 3,000 km. China's State of the aircraft, such as J-10 and J-11, has also been fitted out in force, and their number at about 250 or so. PLA Air Force currently maintains about 550 transport aircraft, of which more than half of single transports.
PLA Navy will soon be fitted out in JH-7A fighter
PLA Navy has 225,000 troops, these forces are divided into three fleets (North Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet and South Sea Fleet), deployed in 10 major naval base (Port Arthur, Huludao, Qingdao, Shanghai, Zhoushan, Wenzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou , Zhanjiang and Yulin). Mainly from the North Sea Fleet submarine force structure, while the East China Sea Fleet and South Sea Fleet is the main battle force surface combatants and submarine and air defense ship.
The article points out, the PLA Navy modernization, especially since the 80s of last century has been driven by many factors, such as forcible reunification with Taiwan, China resumed sovereignty over the South China Sea, the growing need to protect the safety of Chinese sea lines of communication to ensure that the sea interests, especially energy interests, to project power worldwide in order to enhance China's leading role in world affairs. Currently, China has Asia's largest submarine fleet, including the 8-10 and 50-60 submarine diesel-electric submarines. The second generation of 093-class nuclear-powered attack submarines and 094 nuclear-powered missile submarine has been cut out loading of the PLA Navy. Old 033-type R-(Romeo) Type 035 Ming-class submarines and diesel submarines are being made Type 039 Song-class next-generation submarines and Russian-made Kilo-class submarines to replace. Introduced in 2005, the Pentagon report said China's military power, and those produced through outsourcing, China is an annual increase rate of three new submarines to expand its submarine fleet size, in the near future, it will have a composition of approximately 80 submarines submarine fleet. Furthermore, once the installation is completed out, China will have a real second nuclear strike capability.
The article said that China has increased its naval air force Su-30MKK 24 fighters, JH-7A will soon be fitted out. At present, the PLA Naval Air Force equipment, including J-7 and Q-5 form, the PLA Navy is difficult to project military power. PLA Navy plans to purchase 150 to 200 fighter-bombers. The end of 2007 the new amphibious ships fitted out may change the pattern of the PLA Navy operations. 071-style comparable to the U.S. Navy amphibious dock landing assault ship class in Austin (Austin class) amphibious dock landing ship. Although the power can be projected, but the PLA Navy still has only one such ship.
Moreover, the article said that China has realized that the aircraft carrier is the ultimate symbol of power projection. Since 2006, China has openly stated its intention to have carriers. March 20, 2009, Chinese Defense Minister Liang to visit China on Japan's defense minister, said no aircraft carriers, major powers, only China, China can not always be no aircraft carriers. China's economy in 2050 reached similar three-step development strategy, the PLA has also developed a similar strategy to the year 2050 itself into a global naval force. At present, the PLA Navy has been able to in the first island chain - from the north to Taiwan from Japan, south to the Philippines some of the islands - inland activities. In the second step, the PLA intends to go beyond the first island chain, reaching, including Guam, Indonesia and Australia, including the second island chain.
Information warfare in the face of the challenges posed by the joint military services in recent years, China has commenced a wide range of joint military exercises. For example, in 2001, the PLA ground forces, air force and navy conducted joint military exercises, and then is the "Peace Mission -2005", "Peace Mission -2006", "Peace Mission -2007" by the Jinan Military Region mechanized units in the " grind soldiers -2008 "military exercise" joint -2008 ", 2009, the Chengdu Military Region, large-scale air exercise from exercises across the -2009 Shenyang, Lanzhou, Jinan and Guangzhou Military Region of the four divisions of four nearly 50,000 soldiers in These military exercises aim is to strengthen the PLA's joint operations capability.
People's Liberation Army is building about 12 rapid-response divisions
With the development of the PLA modernization, China believes that as a powerful engine of growth for the world economy, China plays in international affairs must be an increasingly important role. The only goal of the PLA modernization is to project power around the globe to create a rapid reaction force, and winning the information war. Of particular note is that the PLA in recent years reduced from 33 to 100 infantry divisions and armored divisions. Moreover, its also quick response to build about 12 divisions, including an airborne division, four amphibious assault divisions and so on. Although the PLA modernization has been a significant improvement in its mechanization and informatization joint operations, but, given the current People's Liberation Army troops are faced with different levels of the bottleneck, so the army integration process and information technology, will be a long and slow process.
According to the former General Liu Huaqing, former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, said the process of modernization of the PLA faces many obstacles. For example, the Chinese military-owned equipment in the world, but because of insufficient investment, coupled with the substantial increase in prices of military products, and its large-scale introduction of the new design is difficult to produce weapons systems. People's Liberation Army Air Force fighter far behind world standards. Although a sufficient number of the PLA Navy surface ships, but such as ship-borne helicopters, tanker and other important equipment are still insufficient. Secondly, it will have far-reaching impact of future military technology in microelectronics and information processing technology is the main challenge facing China. Third, the defense R & D and produce high-tech weapons in the defense industry faces formidable difficulties. Finally, because the shortage of funds, so the PLA must be limited live-fire exercises, and the Air Force and Navy airborne troops were forced to shorten the training time. Most funds are used to train militants. Liu will be said that the current PLA modernization is not in line with China great power status, to achieve military modernization, China still has a long way to go.

06 Super Matador desolate curtain call, Spain will support the future by three
Turkey carried out to the last day of the championships, Argentina and Spain to start the fifth competition for the final with 86-81 win over rival Argentina, was No. 5. The defending champion Spain, ranked No. 6, 2006 in Japan as a world champion, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games runner-up, 2009 European Championship, this super-strong contingent at this World Championships is desolate end.
The level of world basketball rapid development of the former Yugoslavia in 2002, exalted in the United States outside world championship trophy, the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Ginobili led Argentina some bright spots, to the world championships in Japan in 2006, two European powerhouses Spain and Greece, to start the peak of battle, and now after only four years and showed a picture of something different, "Xingyue Legion" momentum is pressing Turkey, Serbia and Lithuania, and warlords, the United States dream team formation Grassroots Army to start from the low-key ... ...
Every dog, no team can do the eternal overlord, even powerful U.S. team now has not arrogant in the world arena, let alone just do it next king of Spain? Paul - the loss of Gasol's absence makes Spain the most reliable offensive weapon, Mark - Gasol can not replace the role of elder brother, Spain could not achieve effective internal and external cable connections, which led them to be stumbling in the group stage, despite the chance to kill the tight encirclement, but eventually fell in the tough battle.
From a practical perspective, the so-called golden generation, but Spain is Pau Gasol and Navarro-class players hold up to two days, but now these two core have been the age of 30, two years after the Olympics, they 32 years old, and four years after the world championships, they have 34 years of age, although the experience still in, but the physical and competitive state and peak period must not be compared, which is determined by the natural law of development, the rapid development of international basketball rhythm proved But a team of a succession gap in the situation, this team will go immediately from the strong decline, while Spain is now in such a situation.
Fernandez, Mark - Pau Gasol and Rubio are positive when the play of the year, they probably will become the Spanish team in four years at the helm, but the role of Fernandez to prove that he could not featuring a super-leader, but more simply strikes, role play; Mark - Pau Gasol had height also has the power, but both basketball IQ or basic skills to be a lot worse than the big plus; The Bilu Ao, at least for the moment, some of his qualities are exaggerated, If you want to become a true leader, he needs more effort on the offensive end, one does not shoot or even that there is no desire to attack people who simply can not achieve the core level.
Fernandez is the front line knives, small Gasol is inside Optimus Prime, Rubio is the engine after the field, this trio represents just three position, however, the Spanish need to pray that they grow rapidly. Article 6, which is a true current position in Spain, in the struggle against Argentina 5 battle, Fernandez has done the ultimate, but still save the team, "bomb" Navarro are two points contribution Basic can be ignored, for the time being as the game is no big increase, no bombs, games, relying on a group of young people, momentum, Spain almost fightbacks, but it only almost, not enough to beat them more powerful opponents. Spain's future transmission with a trace of desolation, but not the end, I hope these young people can get from the older hands to the success of your password.
