Comic book heroes are taking pop culture by storm in the form of big-budget movies and even new television shows. This Halloween, superhero-themed costumes are expected to be a favorite among trick-or-treaters.
Superheroes are sure to be big once again this Halloween. Get a head start on selecting the perfect super suit for your little hero with our guide to superhero costumes.
With the recent bombardment of super-themed movie releases, it's a safe bet that your youngster has already dropped more than a few hints that they want to dress up like their favorite comic book hero for Halloween. From Marvel's The Avengers to Warner Bro's Man of Steel, these costumes are inspired by super-powered blockbusters. Some of them are steals, some are on the more expensive side, but they're all super.
Batman from Warner Brother's The Dark Knight Rises
Does your kid have what it takes to don the cowl and become Gotham's greatest hero? This costume, designed by Long Island based Rubie's Costume Company, is right out of The Dark Knight Rises, 2012's monstrous Batman blockbuster. For $26.99 this costume boasts a jumpsuit with detailed armor on the chest, attached boot covers, a utility belt, and of course, the cape and cowl hood combo.
Your kid will want to leap tall buildings in a single bound when he see's this Superman suit, also by Rubie's,. This costume, inspired by this summer's high-flying hit Man of Steel, features the iconic red cape and a blue Kryptonian muscle suit, complete with an "S' on the chest. Your little hero will feel like she can carry a freight train full of candy in this suit. $25 at Target. (Supergirls may feel more comfortable in the suit without muscle padding.)
Iron Man from Marvel's Iron Man 3
At $59.95 the Iron Man 3 Deluxe Light-Up Costume may be a bit of a splurge, but definitely pulls out all the stops—just the way Tony Stark would like it. Based on the Mark 42 Armor featured in Iron Man 3, this five-piece costume features a highly detailed light-up muscle body suit, a cowl, mask, and gloves. Available at the Disney Store.
Thor from Marvel's The Avengers
In this Thor battlesuit inspired by Disney's The Avengers your hero will look like a native of Asgard. The muscle padded chest and arms and crimson cape are sure to make your little thunderer feel supercharged, and all for $29.99. No hero is complete without a signature weapon, so, to help your Odinson truly possess the power of Thor, pick up a hammer ($12.95) as well. Suit and accessories on sale at Costume Express.
Your kid will feel incredible in this Hulk costume available at Target. The mask's got attitude to spare, so your little radiation monster will really feel like the hero with a temper. With a jumpsuit comprised of a printed muscle top and ragged pants, this costume is lean, mean, and green. The Hulk was the breakout star of Marvel's The Avengers, so this costume is sure to be a smash with your kid—and at $10 it won't smash your wallet.
Agile and aggressive, flirty and fierce Black Widow is the femme fatale of Marvel's premier superhero team. Complete with iconic black jumpsuit, belt, and wristlet gun props, this costume is perfect for your itsy-bitsy fighting spider. Available at Target. $39.99. Boots sold separately.
Captain America - From Mavel's The Avengers
With the Captain America Deluxe Costume ($49.95) available at the Disney Store, your little Avenger will be all set to assemble his team and lead them into trick-or-treating action. Heroically detailed from the wing-adorned mask to the star-emblazoned chest this muscle suit is fit for the mightiest of heroes.
Wolverine from Twentieth Century Fox's The Wolverine
If your crime fighter is more of a rogue than a boy scout, he'll definitely enjoy this Wolverine getup from Costume Express. Inspired by the classic blue and yellow X-Men jumpsuit, this costume features printed muscle details and a ferocious Wolverine mask to match. $26.99.
If there's one hero who embodies the Big Apple, it's Spider-Man. This Marvel licensed spidey-suit, on sale at Costume Express, is based on the one recently worn by the web-slinger in The Amazing Spider-Man. The immaculately printed jumpsuit has the look of the real costume and a detachable mask makes this a great choice for kids who don't like to have their faces covered. $26.99, spidey-sense not included.

You're probably off work Monday.
That's good. For most of us, Monday typically kicks off the work week. There's comfort in routine, certainly, but who doesn't need a break now and then? We think you're entitled to it.
Do something fun. Visit friends, fire up the grill, maybe even sleep in. That said, this newspaper hopes you'll find time to accomplish something more significant, too.
Offer respect.
Monday is Memorial Day, and it's hardly a "Hallmark holiday" on the calendar. By act of Congress, the last Monday in May is the designated day to honor those who lost their lives in U.S. military service.
Circa 2013, the notion of war dead is an increasingly remote concern — too much so, in the view of The Goshen News. The draft is an artifact, and military service is voluntary rather than compulsory.
Recognizing sacrifice, though, ought to be nothing less than contemporary.
Many families in this area are familiar with what that sacrifice means and what the toll entails. They're the people left behind when loved ones, duty-bound by conscription or enlistment, lost their lives. The blood of those serving in our armed forces was shed during world wars, the Korean conflict, and in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
For those fortunate enough not to feel the impact directly, take just a moment to take stock of that loss. Then take another.
Local veterans' organizations and community organizers deserve thanks for staging Memorial Day events year after year. They work diligently behind the scenes to make sure something vital — honoring those who paid the ultimate price — is in the forefront and not forgotten.
The rest of us can do our part as well. Show up at one of the many Memorial Day ceremonies going on this long weekend (they happen Sunday, in some cases). Take a moment, or two or however many, to consider what duty can mean at a core level.
It's the least we can do.

Could being a thoughtful, supportive husband lead to television stardom?
That question has crossed my mind countless times since The Food Network went on the air and my wife, already a great cook, became a dedicated fan.
Little did I realize that it would be a life-altering experience for both of us.
The saga actually began about three years before the network's 1993 debut. Our youngest child enrolled in kindergarten and my wife resumed her teaching career.
At that point, we had one of those "it's time for a serious talk" sessions that occur right before a husband gives up something.
Since she, as the mother of eight, was returning to work outside the home, was it fair for her to continue doing most of the household chores?
My primary home assignment was either taking out the trash or coercing one of our sons to do so.
I had lawn duties for several years but hired a mowing service after a neighbor asked if he could go rabbit hunting in my front yard.
Given the choice of laundry or the dishes, I opted for dishwashing, all the while assuring her I wanted to share family responsibilities.
That arrangement worked well for several years as our kids grew up and left home. I even replaced the old dishwasher in a generous display of solidarity.
The first warning sign occurred when I began to find different types of cooking utensils among the dirty dishes as our meals became more exotic.
As empty nesters, she said we could be more adventuresome in our meal choices. That sounded innocent enough at the time.
But I grossly underestimated the influence of Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay, Rachael Ray and other Food Network chefs.
And I was totally unaware that professional-grade cooking gear could be purchased online.

Its been 50 years since The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and Beatlemania is still sweeping the nation.
Rhythm Records sees fans young and old come into their store to buy Beatles albums -- the most popular is the White Album.
Manager Richard Loewen says that they are a go-to for collectors and just one of those bands that people bond over.
"It spreads across the board for different ages. Not to mention how many more contemporary artists are influenced by the Beatles. It just never stops and its a good thing," said Richard Loewen, Rhythm Records manager.
Last night fans had the chance to listen to their favorite songs during a televised music special honoring The Beatles.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were among the performers.
"I thought it was a really cool way that old and young and all styles of music were represented. It shows how powerful the Beatles music was. It transcends all genres," said David Augustadt, Wachter Middle School band director.
Augustadt says even his 4 year old daughter got excited about The Beatles during the performance.

Zunft Kölsch
on tap @ Köbes, Wilhelmstrasse 41a, 10963 Berlin
,3l glass for €2,60
On a cross-city trip to visit the Berlinisch Galerie I was lucky to stumble upon "Köbes", a Kölsch-Kneipe. It's not much to look at in all honesty, but there's a certain charm to it, and they do pretty well because they're right across the street from the Topography of Terror and not far from Checkpoint Charlie. The food was good, and fairly inexpensive, but the beer was great! It's the only beer they pour, and they apparently pour a lot of it, so it was quite fresh.
Zunft Kölsch is light gold in color beneath a two fingered head of creamy bright white foam. The head retention is quite good, and the lacing exceptional - as I drained my glass it had almost full sheets of lace and even tiny rings that marked each stopping point.
The aroma is of lightly sweet pilsner malt threaded-through with floral and delicately spicy and grassy hops, and just a mild background hint of fruitiness. Quite nice! Fresh and bright.
The flavor is, of course, as the aroma suggests, and it's got a mid-level bitterness that balances it but doesn't really go beyond. I guess I'd call it "stiff". It has a dryish finish that's lightly herbal.
A Kölsch is intended to be remarkably drinkable, and it was. Worth seeking out if you can find it fresh.

Poured two fingers of head on a clear, golden colored body.
The aroma has a clean grain smell with just a touch metallic.
The taste is lacking body. Watery and grainy with a little malt sweet.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
The less than good flavor really brings this beer down.

Bought this for the sexy blackletter label, needed a wildcard for a three way Kölsch tasting. This took 2nd place after Lowdive Zuström and ahead of Reissdorf in 3rd.
Transparent gold with racing carb streams, compact inch of soapy white foam, leaves behind minimal spotty lacing in the glass.
Papery malt aroma, vague grass element of noble hops that's barely there.
Lightly bitter taste, and seemingly the most hoppy of the three tasted. Papery malt taste, pretty ho-hum, but with a bitter grassy edge to it. Carbonation seemed ample, finished dry. Overall ok, would try a fresher sample but wouldn't go out of the way for it.

On tap at Gourmet Haus Staudt.
Into a 0.2L stange. Perfectly clear pale yellow with an inch of white froth, pretty standard of the style. Clean, light, grainy nose. Little bit of sweet malt and boiled corn. Not exceptionally aromatic, but that's standard of the style. Very light and refreshing palate, on the dry side and pretty bitter. Grainy, crisply crackery malt, herbal-grassy hop flavors. The dryness makes it incredibly easy to drink. Nice quaffable stuff.

International Green Week, Berlin 2012: Hall 12, the hall dedicated to German breweries and food to go with beer. We find a table and seats by the Andechs bar, leave the womenfolk to keep the area safe and we blokes start to forage for beers. Loads of breweries and beers to choose from and I eventually stumble across a Kolsch brewery bar: OK I'm not the biggest Kolsch fan in the world, but I decided to give this one a try.
0.25 Litre glass, tall as you'd expect: bright straw yellow body, full white head of bubbles, looks clean and refreshing, bubble trails rising to join the head throughout the tasting.
No real aroma to talk about, some hints of hops and grains but otherwise nothing: typical Kolsch really.
The mouthfeel is crisp and invigorating (I'd just had a very bland Landbier), light yet with some oomph. Tart, sharp and thirst quenching; without complexity or any true depth. The beer isn't flavoursome or exciting but it does the business if you're thirsty. Hop base with very little malt presence for balance, however it seemed right at the time.
Now back home I can check my Kolsch reviews: this is my 6th within this style and my average score is 3.29, this is well above average in my eyes. This beer review has also reminded me of when I used to visit Koln to stay with friends: we hit almost all the brewpubs over the years: well before BA came on the scene. Friends now moved, but I must go back one day.

A: Golden with a slight copper tinge, amazingly clear filtration, no carbonation in the body, a huge 5 finger, slightly yellow billowy head of foam with excellent head retention.
S: Pilsener like hops, fresh hay, straw, light with fresh malts. Slight white grape juice scent.
T: Starts very much like a German or Check Pilsener reminiscent of Pilsener Urquell with a bready malt, corn, straw like quality, then what seems first like a metallic quality but turns clearly into white grape juice, much like white wine without the alcohol bite. Very mild and smooth. Not many hops, but where they are present is all the way through in a very mild way, contributing to the grape like quality.
M: Medium smooth body, virtually no carbonation in spite of huge gusher when opened and major foam.
O: Great brew, the only Kolsch I've been able to find in China. Looks like a nitrogen based drink much like a Boddington's Pub ale- major foam and the dissipation of the foam in the glass looked like a tornado of whirling clouds which slowly settled to a virtually carbonation free drink with a large foamy head. Got a keg of this. I think its great and look forward to enjoying it over the next several days.

A-Pours straw yellow with an inch of fizzy brilliant white head. Leaves soapy lacing.
S- Smells like a cheap macro from about a foot away. Super sweet malts and cornflakes.
T/M-More of the same. Cornflake-esque maltiness. An unpleasant metallic note mid-palate. The finish is bitter and unfocused. Not offensive, but certainly not memorable. Body is denser than I associate with the kolsch style. Light to medium bodied, with moderate spritzy carbonation.

Pours straw to yellow with brilliant clarity. Has a pillowy white long-lasting head. Lots of streams of bubbles racing to the top.
Aroma is a light pils malt aroma, a whiff of corn-like sweetness. Also a light apple and lemony, possibly a bit sulfury smell. All understated and pleasant.
Flavor matches the aroma, with a light lemony fruitiness. Moderate noble hop bitterness that does not linger. Crisp, dry finish that has a slight tartness.
Light body, smooth, very easy drinking, but still flavorful. Moderately high carbonation, but appropriate for the style.
Understated, but more complex flavor than I would have guessed. Thirst quenching and delicious.

Poured into a Deschutes tulip at 45 degrees.
Clarity is good, straw colored body topped by a bright white two finger width head. Plenty of little bubbles floating vigorously to the top. Good retention, not much lacing to speak of however.
Smells like hay, straw, and corn. A little bit of a mineral aroma as well. Smells a little bit grassy as well, with some slight hints of stale bread.
Tastes like a fairly standard Kolsch, nice and light on the palate but has some bright notes to speak of the kind of taste as if you're tasting a field. I've had a lot more complex Kolsches though and a little bit bolder flavors from other companies.
Mouthfeel is done quite well. Consistency feels right. Good level of spritzy carbonation but doesn't get overly abrasive in the mouth.
Overall this is a nice Kolsch, but nothing to really get too overly excited about. I'd recommend giving it a whirl if you haven't tried it.

Ay caramba with em kolsches. contrary to common logic, you always know what you're gonna get.
Because the pour is poor, and doesnt really wary among them. The nose is as mediocre every time you just pick oth the next one from the fridge and realize you're stuck with a few more.
And the taste, watery, pisswatery....with lemon. whoop-dee-doo, only one kölsch to go now.

Bottle purchase at Story Tavern in Burbank, CA.
Pours a hazy yellow with a foamy off-white head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, and some fruity aromas. Taste is much the same with a fruity flavor on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is tasty and refreshing.

Though often disparaged by the mainstream media, the Internet – and its social media – represent an important safeguard against civil rights abuses, like the police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, from being covered up. That makes Net neutrality especially important, says Michael Winship.
Is Police Brutality Color-Blind?
The Missouri police shooting death of Michael Brown has spotlighted police brutality toward blacks but many other Americans, including whites, are finding themselves the targets of harsher and harsher police tactics, notes Nat Parry.
Behind Obama's 'Chaotic' Foreign Policy
Exclusive: The chaos enveloping U.S. foreign policy stems from President Obama's unwillingness to challenge Official Washington's power centers which favor neoconservatism and "liberal interventionism" – strategies that have often undercut real U.S. national security interests, writes Robert Parry.
The Neocons' Grim 'Victory' in Iraq
The neocons who plunged the U.S. into the disastrous Iraq War never say they're sorry. Instead, it's all about how their idea was great but President Bush bungled the implementation or how the war was "won" but President Obama chose defeat. Still, the real neocon "victory" could be their success in inflicting endless chaos on the Middle East, as JP Sottile observes.
The Collapsing Syria-Sarin Case
From the Archive: At the first anniversary of the Sarin gas attack outside Damascus on Aug. 21, there is a concerted effort to reestablish the original conventional wisdom, blaming the Syrian government for the hundreds of deaths. The goal seems to be to bury the alternative narrative that later emerged, as Robert Parry wrote last April.
Cracking Down on Truth-telling
President Obama entered office vowing to run a transparent government. But instead he has clamped down on leaks, prosecuted whistleblowers and threatened truth-telling journalists with jail if they don't reveal sources, as Marcy Wheeler recounts.
The Liberal Zionist Dilemma
Several decades ago, liberal Jews and African-Americans were at the forefront for the U.S. fight for civil rights, but the demands from Israel for Jews to support Zionism to the detriment of Palestinian rights created a rift that grows wider even today, as Lawrence Davidson explains.
The Powerful 'Group Think' on Ukraine
Exclusive: Official Washington's "group think" on Ukraine – blaming everything on Russian President Putin – is so dominant that even independent thinkers like Paul Krugman get sucked into the collective misinformation, reports Robert Parry.
A USS Liberty's Hero's Passing
Exclusive: Silver Star winner Terry Halbardier, the hero who got off the SOS that saved the USS Liberty from Israeli destruction in 1967, died last week in California, prompting ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern to recall the murderous attack and the cowardly cover-up that followed.
Iraq and the Oil Wars
Oil has always been part of U.S. decision-making on Iraq, a key motive for the 2003 invasion and the bloody occupation that followed. Now, as President Obama returns U.S. forces to Iraq, the issue of oil has bubbled back to the surface, as oil analyst Antonia Juhasz explained to Dennis J Bernstein.
The Hushed-Up Hitler Factor in Ukraine
Behind the Ukraine crisis is a revision of World War II history that seeks to honor eastern European collaborators with Hitler and the Holocaust by repackaging these rightists as anti-Soviet heroes, a reality shielded from the U.S. public, as Dovid Katz explains.
Back into Iraq, Again
As the U.S. military returns to Iraq, Official Washington won't tolerate a serious examination of the back story of the crisis, which began with the U.S. invasion of Iraq and continued with covert support of Sunni rebels seeking to overthrow Syria's government, now returning to Iraq. Instead, its more hype and deception, says Danny Schechter.
Will Israel's War Crimes Go Unpunished?
The credibility of the International Criminal Court has fallen into question because it focuses on human rights abusers in weak countries while ignoring those in powerful countries or with powerful friends, a criticism being tested again by Israel's slaughter in Gaza, as Brian J. Trautman notes.
The Berlin Wall and Missed Opportunities
Exclusive: The U.S. State Department's obsession with "information warfare" as a strategic weapon has made U.S. credibility one more casualty of the Ukraine crisis, along with any remaining trust in the mainstream U.S. media. It was not always thus, laments ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Ignoring Ukraine's Neo-Nazi Storm Troopers
Exclusive: You might think a story about modern-day Nazi storm troopers attacking a European city without mercy would merit front-page coverage in the U.S. press, but not when the Nazi paramilitaries are fighting for the U.S.-backed Ukrainian government and are killing ethnic Russians, writes Robert Parry.
Giving Israel a Pass on Civilian Deaths
The Obama administration, which touts its "responsibility to protect" civilians when it wants to intervene somewhere in the world, went silent when Israel engaged in massive attacks on civilian targets in Gaza, killing hundreds of non-combatants including many children, notes Gareth Porter for Inter Press Service.
Wisdom in Obama's 'Don't Do Stupid Stuff'
Hillary Clinton and other war hawks are scolding President Obama for not asserting U.S. power more aggressively around the world to deal with a rash of crises, but there is wisdom in Obama's saying, "Don't do stupid stuff," observes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The Rear-Guard Defense of Torture
Official U.S. policy is to decry torture – at least when done by adversaries – but ambiguities abound when U.S. operatives do the torturing. Then, torture becomes debatable and its defenders go on TV talk shows and even get honors from universities, as ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern notes.
Still Tolerating Torture
President Obama admits that U.S. authorities engaged in torture during the "war on terror" but he has taken no action to hold the torturers accountable and even elevated one of its defenders, John Brennan, to chief of the CIA, notes William Blum.
Why Israel Is Bad for the Jews
Among the harm that hardline Israeli policies have inflicted on Judaism is the erosion of the traditional Jewish tolerance toward dissent, now virtually forbidden if it involves criticizing Israel, as Danny Schechter learned when he asserted that "Israel is bad for the Jews."
The Battle for Palestine
Special Report: Americans often focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on the latest atrocity and which side is to blame. But there is a long and important back story to this conflict which continues to stir up unrest across the Middle East, as retired U.S. diplomat William R. Polk explains.
NYT Discovers Ukraine's Neo-Nazis at War
Exclusive: Throughout the Ukraine crisis, the U.S. State Department and mainstream media have downplayed the role of neo-Nazis in the U.S.-backed Kiev regime, an inconvenient truth that is surfacing again as right-wing storm troopers fly neo-Nazi banners as they attack in the east, Robert Parry reports.
Obama's Foreign Policy Scrambles
As President Obama faces simultaneous foreign policy crises in multiple hotspots, his reaction often appears ad hoc, rushing to one flare-up after another. But he is not the first president to face multi-front brush fires, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
The Heinous Crime Behind Watergate
Exclusive: The mainstream media's big takeaway from Richard Nixon's Watergate resignation is that "the cover-up is always worse than the crime." But that's because few understand the crime behind Watergate, Nixon's frantic search for a file on his 1968 subversion of Vietnam peace talks, reports Robert Parry.
The Unfinished Drama of Watergate
Four decades ago, Richard Nixon resigned, making him the first U.S. president in history to quit the office, the result of two years of a spreading scandal known as Watergate. But many Watergate reforms aimed at limiting the power of money over politics were short-lived, as Michael Winship observes.
The Very Un-Christian Nagasaki Bomb
A bitter irony of the Nagasaki atomic bomb was that an all-Christian American crew used the steeple of Japan's most prominent Christian church as the target for an act of unspeakable barbarism, making a mockery of Christian teachings on non-violence, writes Gary G. Kohls.
The Mystery of the Nagasaki Bomb
On Aug. 9, 1945, three days after obliterating Hiroshima with one nuclear bomb – as Japan's high command met on surrender plans – the U.S. government dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki killing 74,000 people instantly, a decision that has never been adequately explained, writes John LaForge.
Was Putin Targeted for Mid-Air Assassination?
Exclusive: Official Washington's conventional wisdom on the Malaysia Airlines shoot-down blames Russian President Putin, but some U.S. intelligence analysts think Putin, whose plane was flying nearby, may have been the target of Ukrainian hardliners who hit the wrong plane, writes Robert Parry.
Tallying Israeli War Crimes
For decades, Israel has slaughtered Palestinians with impunity, always protected by the U.S. government and its veto at the UN Security Council. But the latest bloody assault on Gaza has prompted more open talk about Israeli war crimes — and U.S. complicity, says Marjorie Cohn.
How Israel Trashes Judaism
While Official Washington excuses Israel's latest slaughter of Gazans as justifiable self-defense, many thoughtful Jews are lamenting how the traditional humanism of Judaism is being despoiled by the brutal practices of the Israeli government, writes Danny Schechter.
Real Peace-Making Needed for Gaza
Some Israeli leaders joke about their periodic slaughter of Gazans as "mowing the grass," a chore that needs regular repeating. Though a ceasefire has stopped the killing for now, real peace-making is needed to stop Israel from bringing out the lawn mower again, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

On Wednesday, FBI agents shut down the website devoted to illegal drug sales called, the Silk Road.
Agents arrested 29-year-old Ross Ulbricht in San Francisco & charged him with narcotics trafficking & several other charges. KHQ spoke to detectives with the Quad Cities Drug Task Force in Pullman. They say at least one recent case has come through their office involving the Silk Road. Detectives with the task force say the Silk Road had been gaining popularity on the Palouse between college campuses in Moscow & Pullman.
The drug website was the purchase site for hundreds of illegal drugs including methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine. Those buying drugs on the website could remain anonymous through the Bitcoin payment network. Users would have the drugs shipped to their homes or other locations in discrete packages.
The Quad Cities Drug Task Force handles about 100 drug cases per year between Idaho and Washington. Detectives could not say for sure how many cases involved the Silk Road. Detectives say, those they arrest often wont tell them where they have purchased the drugs.

"Perfect, we loved it and so did everyone else. I used a photo editor app on my phone to create it. I only wish you had it as an option. Great job.Looking forward to future projects from you."
"Great card. Since it was square and would have required extra postage I got the rectangular envelopes that square card fits in but no extra postage requird. They were very tight to get card in and only fit one way. Would not get these envelopes again!"
"This was my first time using Tiny Prints and I was thrilled with the result. The cards are colorful, happy, and convey my wishes! Another plus: I ordered them on a Wednesday and they arrived at my door on Saturday!"
"Was able to share pictures to review 2013 and perfect wording for how we plan to spend 2014! Exactly the greeting I wanted to send our loved ones!"

Industry needs materials experts. Developments in the design of aircraft, cars, electronic equipment, domestic appliances, etc., depend critically upon the availability of novel materials. Of equal importance is an understanding of both advanced processing techniques and the latest computer based design procedures, essential for product commercialisation from the concept phase. Technological, economic and environmental pressures will ensure that the demand for materials experts will increase in the future.
This course is suitable for graduates with science, applied science, engineering or related degrees keen to pursue careers in the development or exploitation of materials; or graduates currently working in industry keen to extend their qualifications; or individuals with other qualifications who possess considerable relevant experience.
Course overview
The MSc course comprises eight assessed modules, a group project and an individual research project. The modules include lectures and tutorials, and are assessed through practical work, written examinations, case studies, essays, presentations and tests. These provide the 'tools' required for the group and individual projects.
Group project
The group project experience is highly valued by both students and prospective employers. Teams of students work to solve an industrial problem. The project applies technical knowledge and provides training in teamwork and the opportunity to develop non-technical aspects of the taught programme. Part-time students can prepare a dissertation on an agreed topic in place of the group project.
Industrially orientated, our team projects have support from external organisations. These include: 3M Health Care, ABSL Space Products, APROSYS, Airbus, Aston Martin, BAE Systems, BT, Chubb Security, Cranfield Impact Centre, DSGi, Ford Motor Company, GEC, GlaxoSmithKline, Hallmark Cards UK, IBM, Jaguar, Johnson & Johnson, McKinsey & Company, Motorola, Pfizer, Philips, Rolls-Royce and Unilever. As a result of external engagement Cranfield students enjoy a higher degree of success when it comes to securing employment. Prospective employers value the student experience where team working to find solutions to industrially based problems are concerned.

The first time I saw Carlos Zambrano pitch was in spring training in 2001. He was 19 years old and had pitched mostly in relief for Triple-A Iowa in 2000 and didn't appear headed for the major leagues for another year or two.
The heat he threw and the energy he showed on the mound screamed out to me, "future closer".
Maybe that would have been better for the man Cubs fans have come to know as Big Z; he could have been K-Rod, or Jose Valverde, or any one of a number of successful closers who show histrionics on the mound after they retire three batters in the ninth inning and close out a victory for their team.
Instead, he transitioned to starting and was fast-tracked through the system. He was in the Cubs' rotation to stay by August 2002, barely 21 years old, and the next season he, along with Kerry Wood and Mark Prior, led the Cubs to an improbable playoff berth and a NLDS win over a powerful Braves team.
Big Z's career path went pretty well until 2008, highlighted that year by the no-hitter he threw on September 14 against the Astros in a game hastily rescheduled for Miller Park in Milwaukee by Hurricane Ike.
He also entertained Cubs fans with his prowess at the plate -- his 23 career home runs are now ninth all-time among pitchers. But there were some disturbing incidents that began to become more frequent -- in 2007, he and catcher Michael Barrett fought in the dugout, an incident that resulted in Barrett being traded within weeks. The next year, he got into it with umpire Mark Carlson and heaved a ball 300 feet, nearly into the left-field bleachers at Wrigley. And last season, he had what I termed at the time in a tirade directed at his mild-mannered teammate Derrek Lee.
For that, he got placed on the restricted list (with pay) and anger-management classes. When he returned in August 2010, he was lights-out, going 8-0 over 11 starts with a 1.41 ERA. Hopes were high for him to keep that going in 2011.
Instead, he's been erratic this season, occasionally flashing his previous good form (as in this solid outing against the Padres on April 18) but mostly being mediocre, occasionally bad, and finally melting down again Friday night in Atlanta. He allowed five home runs (tying a Cubs team record), was ejected after throwing at Chipper Jones, and then cleaned out his locker at Turner Field and said he was "retiring".
The details don't really even matter any more, I don't think; Zambrano is acting like a child. The Cubs have done just about everything they can to help "fix" him; they also reportedly offered him around before the July 31 trading deadline with no takers, even with the Cubs eating much of his contract, which has a year left at $18 million. Some whisper that Big Z, who just turned 30 in June, has lost some zip on his fastball. He never really was a power pitcher; his best years, from 2003-2006, and some of his best games, came when he relied more on a power sinker.
But now, the Cubs may have no choice but to simply eat the money and release him, if he doesn't follow through on his threat to retire Friday night. Cubs management has repeatedly given him last chances. He appears to have walked out on his final last chance; more than anything else, it's sad that a man who has the energy and passion that Carlos Zambrano does was never able to harness that into his pitching.

Defence-related fields of cooperation are being carried out primarily through the Planning and Review Process (PARP), which Uzbekistan joined in 2002. Other areas of practical cooperation include education, training of personnel, civil emergency planning and science.
Uzbekistan first engaged in relations with NATO in 1992, when it joined the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (later replaced by the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997). It has since joined a series of other programmes to reinforce its foreign policy strategy of promoting peace and stability in Central Asia as one of its key priorities is to prevent wars and armed conflicts.
