The members of the Columbus Metropolitan Quilters hold their "quilt spectacular" every two years.
The members of the Columbus Metropolitan Quilters hold their "quilt spectacular" every two years.
This is one of them.
The event, dubbed "The Art of It All," will take place Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29, at the Haimerl Center, 1421 Morse Road. The show will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Admission is $5 at the door, although those who go to cmquilters.org/quiltshows and print out the page will get in for $4.
In addition to quilts, the Columbus Metropolitan Quilters' biennial show features vendors, auction items, food and the "quilters' garage sale."
The latter, according to show chairwoman Terry Schwarz of Grove City, consists of books, materials, gadgets and other supplies that members of the guild no longer need.
In other words, she said, potential bargains, just like at a regular garage sale.
"If you're not using it any longer, you may as well sell it," according to Schwarz.
Half the proceeds from the garage sale goes to the owner of the item and half to the guild to fund service projects, such as the "Kids Quilts" project launched in June 2006 to distribute free baby quilts through Columbus Public Health.
Those attending "The Art of It All" will be treated to an array of styles and approaches to quilt-making, Schwarz said, from her own light, bright quilts to much darker ones created by otherColumbus Metropolitan Quilters members.
"It's a good variety to just come in and look, see if you're interested," she said. "We welcome new members all of the time.
"Quilting is very huge in Columbus," she added. "There are quite a number of different groups, quite a variety of quilters."
CMQ, a chapter of the National Quilting Association, lays claim to being one of the oldest quilting organizations in the area, dating back to 1978. The guild has between 80 and 100 members, Schwarz said.
According to the guild's website, Quilters from Columbus and surrounding communities are members of Columbus Metropolitan Quilters. Its goal is "to promote the appreciation of quilts and quilt-making. Membership in CMQ is open to anyone interested in quilting, by hand or machine, traditional or contemporary, regardless of skill."
Dues are $25 a year.
The group meets the third Tuesday of the month, most often at 7 p.m., at Ascension Lutheran Church, 1479 Morse Road. Guests are welcome to attend.

Eta Carinae Light Echo
These images reveal light from a massive stellar outburst in the Carina Nebula reflecting off dust clouds surrounding a behemoth double-star system.
The color image at left shows the Carina Nebula, a star-forming region located 7,500 light-years from Earth. The massive double-star system Eta Carinae resides near the top of the image. The star system, about 120 times more massive than the Sun, produced a spectacular outburst that was seen on Earth from 1837 to 1858.
But some of the light from the eruption took an indirect path and is just now reaching our planet. The light bounced off dust clouds (the boxed region about 100 light-years away at the bottom of the image) and was rerouted to Earth, a phenomenon called a light echo. The image was taken in February 2000 by the U.S. National Optical Astronomy Observatory's Curtis Schmidt Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile.
The three black-and-white images at right show light from the eruption illuminating dust clouds near the doomed star system as it moves through them. The effect is like shining a flashlight on different regions of a vast cavern. The images were taken over an eight-year span by the U.S. National Optical Astronomy Observatory's Blanco 4-meter telescope at the CTIO.

Hybrid electric and fuel cell automobiles are one futurist solution for reducing pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. But will farm tractors ever run on electricity instead of diesel? The official line from tractor manufacturers generally is, "We're not prepared to talk about that right now."
Although the company hasn't talked about it much publicly, John Deere does have an electric motor program in the works with alternative energy technologies developer UQM Technologies. UQM recently announced that it has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in the performance of an electric motor that could power large farm equipment.
The new development is a permanent magnet electric motor system that achieves a 10-to-1 top speed to base speed ratio, or what is commonly referred to in the industry as constant power speed ratio (CPSR). This provides both high torque and high-speed capability in the same machine at levels greater than twice that of the electric motor industry's best-performing motor technology.
Commenting on the new system, Bernard B. Poore, manager of product technology for John Deere, says, "The majority of our vehicles require low-speed torque coupled with high-speed transport and present a particularly tough challenge for electric propulsion systems. We have been working with UQM for many years because their superior technology is well suited to the variety of demanding applications in our industry. Their achievement of 10 to 1 is a significant breakthrough and will greatly improve the performance of electric and hybrid propulsion systems. We know of no other demonstrated technology that comes close to this performance."
Deere's Barry Nelson cautions that the mighty diesel won't disappear anytime soon. "Electric motor technology is an exciting breakthrough, but keep in mind that it is an advanced engineering project that might not result in a marketable product for 10 years," he says. "We have to keep looking forward, though, and electric motor technology offers the prospect of greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
"Electric motors have other advantages too. They are quieter and have the potential to produce more torque than internal combustion engines."
One possible application of electric motors on tractors might be a hybrid diesel tractor that uses individual electric motors for front-wheel assist. Conceivably, a tractor could have separately controlled electric motors on each wheel, increasing maneuverability and saving weight by eliminating the need for steering linkages and transmissions.

Did Angelina Jolie Steal to Make 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' a Reality?
Angelina Jolie's first foray into directing and screenwriting hasn't been a smooth ride. Croatian journalist and author James J. Braddock is claiming that the actress stole the story of 'In the Land of Blood and Honey,' set to be released on December 23.
Braddock, aka Josip J. Knezevic, says an article he wrote and published back in 2007 was the basis for the film, which is a fictionalized account of an unlikely love story between a Serbian soldier and a Muslim woman during the Bosnian War. As proof, his lawsuit gives examples of several similarities between his piece and Jolie's screenplay.
According to the lawsuit,
The Subject Work's main female character is subject to continuous abuse and rape by soldiers and officers in the camp. In addition to being raped continuously by soldiers and officers, she is forced to become a servant at the camp headquarters, a duty assumed by very few of the captives. The Motion Picture's main female character is also subject to continuous rape by soldiers and officers in the camp and subsequently becomes a servant at camp headquarters.
In addition to suing the actress, Braddock also named several other entities in his suit, such as the production company that financed and is releasing the film.

Fear Beyond The Edge Of The Grass: Searching For The 'Mets' Outfield In 2013

Stephon Johnson ( Baseball Writer and Mets Correspondent): Follow @stephonjohnson8
New York Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson has every right to not be happy.
Speaking on local New York sports talk radio station WFAN, Alderson didn't try to delude himself or others into thinking that the 2013 Mets campaign wouldn't induce at least several headaches.
"I'm not happy where we are in preparation for 2013," said Alderson about the current roster assembled. "… I can assure you that where we are now is not where we want to be opening spring training. I mean, it's conceivable we could be in the same position, but it's not where we want to be."
This can particularly be directed toward the outfield. With several options for the Mets to check out, it's baffled many how a Major League franchise wouldn't have at least a slight idea what kind of starting lineup they could field on opening day.

Live Electric Photo with Priest Necklace Dean Wings Guitar Logo on the back
A hoodie is also termed as a hooded sweatshirt. It is basically a normal sweatshirt with a hood (a muff that is sewn to sweatshirt's lower front with a drawstring to fiddle with the hood opening). Hoodies are a common wear these days and are a hot favorite since these provide a stylish look. Even celebs love wearing hoodies to flaunt their style.
Hoodies can be traced back to earlier times of Medieval Europe. This was the time when the clothing for Monks used to incorporate a long hood (decorative most of times). This hood was termed as a cowl and was attached to robes or a tunic. In general wear, the hooded sweatshirts were first developed in the early 1930s by USA. Actually the modern day hooded sweatshirts have taken their initiation from those produced by Champion in the era of 30s since the company crafted these with a purpose to protect their laborers from freezing temperatures who used to work in the upstate of New York for them. The name 'Hoodie' started being used widely in 90s.
The hoodie fashion took off mainly in the mid 70s. Various factors contributed to its success mantra. The major one being the Hip Hop culture that developed in the same time in New York City. Along with it, the high fashion figures & designers making use of hoodies also contributed to its success widely. But the biggest credit to blockbuster hit movie Rocky where the hoodie was used widely and hoodie sweatshirts became a hit with the release of the movie.

Pondering why women are falling for the Undead or monsters....
As I looked over a list of movies playing in Grand Forks I wondered What is Wrong with People? Many of these movies have werewolves, vampires, witches, demons, evil spirits, aliens, zombies, and assorted fantastic "creatures." WHY? No such thing exists.
I don't get what is going on---life and romance are complicated enough with flesh and blood humans. "Loving" the "Undead"??? What is that about? This phenomenon goes beyond movies that show "relationships" between humans and monsters. Beauty and the Beast was a cartoon, but these dark films, thanks to modern film techniques and makeup, appear to be actual creatures. And worse, the Vampire fetish has young women swooning with desire. Ooops---while I was still teaching I discovered my seniors had no idea what "swooning" means. If a younger reader happens upon this blog, it means fainting or becoming dizzy with passion or desire." Over a Vampire! Give me a break!
I have not attended any of these films, and do not intend to waste time or money on them. From reading the reviews of them it seems they are designed to get the heart racing, either from fear or from passion.
One angle I notice is that "love" transforms a "dead" soul, or a "beast" into a prince or loving partner. I guess that is an old, old story...a mistake many women have made and regretted believing.

ER nurse
What does your job entail?
Above everything else, saving lives, relieving pain, reassuring people and providing excellent overall service to everyone who entrusts us with their care is what the nurses at the Sinai ER-7 do.
As an ER nurse, no day is the same. During one shift, its not unusual to take care of patients who have had a heart attack or a stroke, have suffered trauma or who have had stomach pains or ear aches. Because the Herman & Walter Samuelson Childrens Hospital at Sinai is here, we also see a lot of pediatric patients.
In addition to making people feel better, its also important to educate patients and their family members about how to take care of their own health and the health of their loved ones, whether they come to the ER once or multiple times.
At Sinai, I am a registered nurse II. That means in addition to taking care of patients, Im a charge nurse and a team leader. As a charge nurse, I manage the flow of patients, keep track of our fiscal needs and act as a motivator and cheerleader for a great staff. As a team leader, I learn how the whole department runs beyond my own area.
What kind of schooling or training did you go through?
In 1994, I graduated as a licensed practical nurse from Union Memorial Hospital, where I also earned my degree as a registered nurse in 1996. Just last year, I earned my Bachelor of Science in nursing from Penn State University.
What inspired you to this career?
When I was in fifth grade, I read a book about Florence Nightingale, and thats when I decided I wanted to be a nurse to help people. In fact, I still have that book in my attic with its yellowed, frayed pages. However, I took a detour and had a desk job for a number of years before my husband convinced me to go after my dream to become a registered nurse.
What do you like best about your job?
I love being able to touch so many people and really make a difference in their lives. It meant the world to me when one of my patients came into the ER very weak and sick and was able to stand up and walk out after being treated.
I also take pride in the fact that Sinais Emergency Department was recognized with a Lantern Award from the Emergency Nurses Association, which acknowledges EDs for exceptional training and innovative in leadership, practice, education, advocacy and research. Sinai nurses across the hospital have also earned Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which is given to health care organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice.
Finally, I also like being part of a great team of dedicated highly-skilled professionals at Sinais ER-7, which includes physicians, management, radiologists, lab technicians, respiratory therapists and support staff. We are in an environment where every minute counts so we have to be able to depend on each other.
What are the challenges?
Snow and ice can present challenges because the ER fills up with people who slip, fall, strain their backs or even have heart attacks shoveling snow. Getting staff in from home and getting staff home from work also takes added coordination.
After being in nursing for such a long time, a personal challenge for me is deciding whether to try to move completely into management or to stay at the bedside. I absolutely love taking care of people one-on-one, but I have that inner struggle of what my next step should be. One thing Im sure of, either way, Im in the most fulfilling career I can imagine.
Median salary for registered nurses in 2012 was $65,470, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It Takes a Great Name to Launch a Successful Startup
In the last episode of TechStars, we watched a pair of teams pivot toward new concepts and deal with the consequences of that decision.
In this episode, we'll see why a good name and brand design can go a long way in selling a successful company. Some teams have developed winning products, but under less memorable names, which is why rebranding is sometimes a good idea.
A good product and a solid, engaging pitch is what will sell your company to customers, but a good name can get you in the door. If potential customers don't feel inspired by its brand, a startup may lose that business before it gets a chance to sell.
Check out the latest episode above, and be sure to leave your thoughts on the topic in the comments below.

An exuberant Julia Roberts calls working on her latest film, "August: Osage County," "the best acting experience of my life."
The actress was bubbling with enthusiasm the day after the highly anticipated adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. In the film, Roberts plays the eldest daughter of a brutally honest matriarch, played by Meryl Streep.
"I've never worked so hard in my life — and I've given birth to three children," Roberts told reporters Tuesday.
The large cast lived near the on-location set in Oklahoma, devoting themselves to capturing Letts' dialogue. The film, to be released Dec. 25, drew mixed reviews at the festival but praise for its performances.

It's normal for young children to sustain bumps and bruises occasionally as part of exploring. However, learning to walk in a world of hard surfaces can turn a special moment into a heart rendering incident in a flash. Consider for one moment being the height of an average toddler. If you're not sure about this, get down on your hands and knees and have a wander around. Look at all the furniture and hard surfaces you would hit if you fell - both inside your home and outside in your garden.
Now imagine you have wobbly legs, you're only just finding your balance and you fall over more than you'd like to, because you're just learning to walk. Remember learning to ride a bicycle or learning to ice skate for the first time?
What are the chances of you falling over and hitting something solid? Most homes today have hardwood floors or tiles so statistically the chances are really high. The problem is this kind of fall is very common in even the safest homes and gardens. The damage to a falling toddler's hands and knees can be an acceptable form of pain for learning but a head injury can be traumatic for both infant and parent. Thudguard® goes one step further and takes the protection straight to the infants head giving you great peace of mind.

Nearly 24 percent of adults in Alabama use tobacco. On top of that cigarette smoking causes about one of every five deaths in the United States each year. Most Americans know this but many still choose to light up.
Numerous smokers in the Wiregrass area have tried everything from nicorette gum to acupuncture to try to quit smoking. Some have succeeded and others have failed but one of the newer alternatives out there, e-cigarettes has been growing. Karen Bullard is a former smoker who put her words into action.
"It's been the best thing I've ever done health wise ever," said, Bullard.
After smoking for more than three decades, the co-owner of True Vapor Inc admits that vaping has provided satisfaction, while clearing away all the negatives associated with smoking tobacco."
"I didn't realize how much I couldn't breathe or how bad I felt physically all the time," said Bullard.
In less than a month, one of Karen's nagging issues was completely vanished.
"My hacker cough, I called it my old lady hack, I got them in the mornings and after I started vaping it was about two to three weeks and that was just totally gone," said Bullard.
Other users see the good in e-cigs as well.
"I don't have an upper respiratory infections anymore. I don't smell like a cigarette anymore, I don't have any breathing problems, I save a lot of money," said Dothan resident Katrina Tucker,
All E-Cigarettes contain four main substances, liquid nicotine, vegetable glycerin, aromatics and propylene glycol. Even though scientists don't know every risk associated with vaping, they do confirm that E-Cigarettes contain far fewer chemicals than their tobacco counterpart. Dropping its total number of overall health risks.
"It appears to be safer but it's also just as addictive probably because of the nicotine that's still in it, and nicotine itself can cause problems with poor circulation and things like that in smokers as well. So it's not entirely a safe alternative but it is a different alternative to traditional cigarettes," said Corey Kirkland, a health service administrator with the Houston County Health Department.
Though more research still needs to be done, one thing appears clear, nicotine addiction is the one substance that controls most smokers and vapers.
"I would not encourage anyone to use it as an alternative to cigarettes. I would always encourage them to stop using tobacco products all together," said Kirkland.
But for now Karen Bullard sees the alternative as a life saver.
"Obviously I'm not a scientist or a chemist or anything like that to know 100 percent but in my mind. I mean just by my body, just how I feel, I mean it can't be bad, I've done it now for almost three years and I've had no effects, no nothing and I feel fantastic," said Bullard.
Other benefits from vaping include no secondhand smoke, being allowed to do it indoors at many restaurants and stores and improved senses in taste and smell.

Shortly after I purchased my Honda® AquaTrax® F-12 from Carolina Honda in Columbia, SC, I started thinking it would be fun to ride my PWC in the Bahamas...
"Honda appears ready to again take the PWC market seriously, with a boat that offers a nice combination of performance and features that should make it appealing to all kinds of riders, not just the go-fast crowd. "
Honda PWCs have served as rescue vehicles uniquely suited to complex missions—especially life-saving duty—that could otherwise end in disaster. Case in point: an ocean rescue that happened in the bucolic seaside town of Santa Cruz in northern California.
A top speed of 65 mph is the benchmark for a PWC seeking admission to the 'high performance' club, and the new Honda AquaTrax F15-X makes the cut.

LONDON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Banks have won a victory in their battle to dilute tough rules on liquidity, but they will still have to find trillions of dollars to ensure their funds do not run out in a crisis.
Heavy lobbying by banks over the past two years has bought them time, but not freedom from requirements that they lock up big new cash buffers globally from 2015.
And while some critics are blasting the Basel Committee for backing off the strictest aspects of the liquidity rule, other prominent reform voices are reluctant to say that it means a global commitment to tough new rules is falling away.
"It is a phase-in. It should be understood not as a repudiation of capital requirements but as phase-ins that are reasonable," said former U.S. Representative Barney Frank, who co-authored the 2010 Dodd-Frank legislation of financial reforms.
The Basel Committee of banking supervisors, representing most of the world's capital markets, surprised banks on Sunday with concessions on a planned new liquidity rule to enable them to withstand market squeezes.
Banks and some regulators said the original draft, the first of its kind, was too harsh, tying up vast pools of cash at a time when credit is needed to aid struggling economies.
Basel is giving banks an extra four years to comply with the rule by 2019 and include a wider range of risky assets in the buffer.
Regulators defended the change, with Bank of England Governor Mervyn King saying on Sunday that a strong disincentive will be built into the changes.
Banks will have to set aside more capital if they choose to pad out their liquidity buffer with the riskier assets such as bonds backed by home loans, or shares.
Dwight Smith, a partner at the law firm Morrison Foerster in Washington, D.C., also noted that banks will have to sell off assets periodically to test their liquidity, and will face other restrictions on how they can count lower-quality assets in the buffer. "It's not like it's suddenly open season on all this," Smith said.
The change is more significant for European banks than for their U.S. counterparts, many of which already hold large liquidity reserves.
Some former regulators said the rethinking of the liquidity rule is reasonable, pointing out that it was first drafted at a time of public anger over bank bailouts.
Also, policymakers had expected a quicker economic rebound and did not anticipate the depth of the massive euro zone debt crisis, which cast doubt on the solidity of government bonds.
"The draft rule was written in the immediate aftermath of a crisis when there can always be a risk of regulatory overshoot," said David Green, a former Bank of England and UK Financial Services Authority official.
"As circumstances surrounding you change, such as the increasingly visible consequences of constraints on private sector growth or risks related to sovereign debt, then you would be wrong not to adjust," Green said.
Other former regulators weren't so generous in their assessment.
"The way the rules were originally agreed to doesn't work very well, but I think these changes make it worse not better," said Sheila Bair, a former head of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, a bank regulator that provides deposit insurance.
"Like almost everything the Basel Committee does, they're too complex," Bair said.
The liquidity rule is part of the Basel III framework that will also force banks to hold up to three times more basic capital than before the crisis.
Only 11 of the G20 countries met this month's deadline for implementing Basel III, with the United States and European Union failing to get their rules in place.
Negotiations on an EU law to implement Basel III resume on Thursday and some parliamentarians want to dilute the liquidity rule further than Basel has done by allowing banks to include any asset central banks accept as collateral.
G20 regulation has faced setbacks elsewhere too with the starting date for reforms to make derivatives markets safer passing in December with few changes in force.
There is still no cross-border system for winding down an international bank like Lehman Brothers without taxpayer aid, another core G20 aim of several years standing.
But even some critics of the most recent rollback are not willing to predict the doom of financial reforms meant to make global markets more resilient to shocks.
"I think the resolve on the capital rules is much stronger," said Bair, the former head of the FDIC. "There's always been some discomfort with whether these liquidity rules work or not. But I think the Basel III improvements to capital rules, there's a much higher level of confidence that they are the right thing to do and will work and need to be implemented."
Also, some experts said it is in big banks' best interest to look strong to investors. Market and supervisory pressure has meant that most global banks meet or exceed the Basel levels they must reach by 2019.
"Banks will want to be able to advertise that they are stronger than the regulators need them to be, which leaves those who can't looking like the weaker brethren," said Graham Bishop, a former banker who advises the EU on regulation.

U.S. needs to meet obligations: Foreign policy decisions encourage enemies, keep allies awake at night wondering
On the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, Gen. James Mattis admonished the 1st Marine Division to "demonstrate to the world there is 'No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy.' "
That motto could serve as a guiding principle for sound national security policy. Regrettably, our allies wonder whether the United States is demonstrating the reverse.
Since leaving as secretary of homeland security in January 2009, I have talked with officials from friendly nations in Asia and the Middle East. Increasingly, I hear skepticism about whether the United States remains a reliable ally our friends can trust for support against attacks.
These private conversations echo public statements by leaders in the Persian Gulf states and Asia expressing concern that they may have to fend for themselves in the face of military challenges from Iran, China or North Korea.
The deterrent value of alliances and treaties depends on convincing potential adversaries that we will respond to aggression against our partners as firmly as if aggression were directed against ourselves.
Establishing that as a credible warning means being measured in what we say and matching our deeds to our words. Often, we have done neither.
U.S. intervention in Libya was prompted not by an alliance or treaty commitment but by a humanitarian impulse. Our insistence on multilateral action was sensible, but the characterization of this as "leading from behind" unfortunately implied that we were trying to hide behind our allies.
This echoed the perception that U.S. security policy prioritized exiting Iraq and Afghanistan and avoiding all but surgical military action in the future.
More serious is the perception that the U.S. approach to Syria has been a combination of bluster and retreat. In August 2011, President Obama said that "the time has come for President Assad to step aside." We invested little in aid or support to effect this.
One year later, the president articulated his red line on Bashar Assad's use of chemical weapons. Rightly or wrongly, he did so without obtaining a promise of congressional backing. But when proof of that use became unmistakable, the president abruptly decided that he should seek legislative approval.
And when that became chancy, he seized upon a Russian "off ramp" that has succeeded in entrenching Assad's status and, according to the March update from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, has not come close to eliminating Syria's chemical weapons or weapons capability.
One Asian official with whom I spoke this year expressly pointed to Syria as a reason to doubt U.S. willingness to stand with allies against an increasingly assertive China. Interestingly, he also cited the recent memoir by former defense secretary Robert Gates to question whether U.S. aversion to conflict means shaky commitments in what is an increasingly risky region. Even at home, 70 percent of Americans believe the United States is less respected than in the past, according to a December poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.
Not surprisingly, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to have read our passivity as a license to pursue control, if not conquest, of his neighbors. He has effectively repudiated the 1994 Budapest memorandum on security assurances in which Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for commitments from the United States, Britain and Russia to ensure its political independence and territorial sovereignty.
U.S. disregard for those security assurances, which were renewed in 2009, suggests that Russia may regard them as empty promises.
Of course, diminished U.S. credibility is a result of more than administration policy. Some neo-isolationist Republican lawmakers and advocacy groups have repeatedly disparaged the value of standing with our allies or been dismissive of aggression on the other side of the globe. They have supported budget cuts that seriously diminish U.S. military capabilities and contradict our promises of support for allies.
Make no mistake: A world that doubts whether the United States will stand with its allies is a much more dangerous world. If nations in the Middle East and Asia believe that we are irresolute in our security commitments, they will make their own arrangements.
The risk of miscalculation leading to conflict will increase. Some nations will take the lesson that securing themselves requires obtaining nuclear capability. And when countries believe our red lines are revocable or mere bluffs, the danger that they will provoke a war increases, as did Saddam Hussein's misreading of U.S. intentions in 1990, which led to the invasion of Kuwait.
A strategy reset requires that we define and articulate real red lines, that we maintain the soft and hard power to enforce those red lines and that when red lines are crossed, we respond with strong economic action, military assistance or even military action.
A clearly articulated alliance strategy backed with resolute action is the only way to restore lasting stability that promotes security at home and around the globe.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Tate & Lyle, a British maker of sweeteners and starches, on Thursday said quality problems with the U.S. corn harvest, primarily due to aflatoxin, the byproduct of a grain fungus, were raising costs and forcing changes to the firm's buying program.
Aflatoxin is associated with a mold that thrives in hot and dry conditions, and it emerged in unusually high levels in the heart of the U.S. Corn Belt this autumn after the worst drought in half a century decimated the corn harvest.
Aflatoxin can cause liver disease and is considered carcinogenic. Processing contaminated corn can raise the concentration level of the toxin, threatening livestock that feed on the by-product.
Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines, certain types of animal feed can contain an aflatoxin concentration of up to 300 parts per billion (ppb). Human foods must contain less than 20 ppb.
To avoid problems, corn processors and ethanol producers in heavyweight corn states including Illinois and Indiana have been "importing" clean grain from states like North Dakota and Mississippi, which are typically minor players in corn production.
"While the presence of aflatoxin resulted in the sale of a greater proportion of our CGM (corn gluten meal) and CGF (corn gluten feed) in lower value markets in the first few weeks following the harvest, we have taken steps to adjust our corn sourcing program," Tate & Lyle said in a semiannual earnings statement.
"Although significant efforts are under way to mitigate the impact of aflatoxin, and we continue to monitor the situation closely, based on what we know today we believe it will result in a small increase in net corn costs for the remainder of the financial year and through to the next harvest," the company said.
The company posted adjusted pretax profit for its first half of 179 million pounds ($286 million), up 2 percent. First-half sales rose 7 percent to 1.63 billion pounds, despite uncertainty around the wider economy and corn quality and pricing.

Ibn Tulun Mosque is a rare example where Europeans openly admitted its influence on the development of many features of their architecture. Elements such as the pointed arch, the pier, and wall battlements formed the essential ingredients of the birth of Gothic architecture, which led Europe to the Renaissance.
Ibn Tulun Mosque is the oldest, best-preserved mosque in Egypt1. It is named after the Emir Ahmed Ibn Tulun2, a soldier among the troops of Samarra who was promoted to rule Egypt between 868 and 883AD.
Following the tradition of Muslim Caliphs, the first work of Ibn Tulun was to establish a new capital known as Qataia (869 CE) between Cairo and Fustat.
In its centre, he built a palace complex, a hippodrome, and a large mosque which became known by his name. According to the inscription found in the mosque, it was completed in May 879 CE.
Western sources, quoting Al-Maqrizi, claim that the architect of the mosque was an Egyptian Christian who proposed to employ piers as a substitute for the large number of columns necessary to support the roof span of this mosque's magnitude3. Fikri (1961 CE) dismissed this as another attempt to connect successful Muslim work to Christian origin. He argues that firstly, it is well known that Ibn Tulun lived in Samarra all his youth and he was clearly influenced by its prestige especially its Great Mosque of Al-Mutawakkil (848 CE).
This can be seen in the numerous common features of the two mosques. The first of these is the use of piers constructed of brick, instead of columns, to carry the arcades and the roof. Secondly, is the use of the same materials of construction such as brick and plaster. Thirdly is the spiral shape of the minaret and its location outside the perimeter of the mosque. An Egyptian Christian architect could not have by chance employed these features independently of Samarra. Fikri quoted Al-Maqrizi himself, in the same source, reporting another different story about the circumstances of the construction of the Mosque. He reported that Al-Qudhai narrated that Ibn Tulun asked for advice about: "the construction of a building that would stand the fire if the whole of Egypt was to be consumed by it, and stand a flood if the whole of Egypt was to be submerged by it." He was told to build with plaster, ash and red brick, and not to erect any columns of marble as they do not stand well against fire. So he built it following their advice and made it and its minaret a copy of Samarra's mosque."
Changes and Modifications
The mosque was kept in its original state and most of the works carried out were mainly to restore the damage caused by fire or natural decay. Historical sources indicate that the mosque witnessed the following changes:
- In 980 a fire consumed the fountain which was in the centre of the mosque; it has never replaced.
- In 1077 and according to an inscription, al-Mustansir Bellah restored one of the gates.
- Four mihrabs made of plaster were added to the mosque. The first of these was in 1094, two belonged to the Fatimid dynasty and a fourth was erected in the 13th century.
- In 1296, the Sultan Lageen restored the mosque and tiled its floor.
The Plan in brief
The mosque has a square shape 162 meters long, making it one of the largest mosques of Cairo (figure 1). It consists of three main sections. The prayer hall (Figure 2) is a rectangle of six aisles running parallel to the Qibla wall. These aisles are divided by five arcades of pointed arches, each one is carried on 16 piers of brick and covered with plaster. On the centre of the Qibla wall, there is the main Mihrab which is a niche of pointed arch flanked on both sides by two attached columns. Four other smaller Mihrabs which were added later appear on the sides of the main mihrab, two on each side.
The courtyard "Sahn" is a square extending south of the prayer hall. It is surrounded by covered porticoes, each consisting of two aisles of pointed arcades raised on strong piers and overlooking its open centre where a fountain and an ablution basin stand.
The third section consists of the extensions, of 11 meters each, along the northern, eastern and western sides of the mosque. These open extensions which ring the mosque on three sides work as buffers between the bustle of the streets and the religious space inside.
The mosque is accessed through a total number of 42 doors, half of which belong to the original mosque. The minaret in its famous spiral shape, in the form of Al-Malwiya of Samarra, was built outside the enclosure wall opposite the Qibla.

Mosque Architecture and its contribution
In addition to its historic importance, Ibn Tulun mosque is considered as one of the leading buildings to have a significant impact on the development of architecture beyond the Muslim boundaries. Its architectural richness exceeded the expectations of medieval architects, especially Europeans, henceforth becoming a show case for them to imitate and admire. The main architectural innovations of this mosque can be briefly summarised in the following:
- It was the first recorded instance of the systematic adoption of piers to carry the arcades and the roof as an alternative to columns. This was the first use of piers outside Samarra. The mosque employed some 160 piers of rectangular shape of about 2.5 meters height and about 1.25 meters width. They reach the same height of 5 meters all around the mosque (Figure 3). Such a feature could not have been achieved by the use of columns, which varied greatly in height and size and would have created problems in raising the arches to the same crown level. These piers were decorated at the corners with built in columns made of brick and plaster. Above them and between their arches a set of arched windows were opened to reduce the pressure of the thrust and provide extra light and air.
- The other feature was the systematic use of pointed arches which is regarded as the first recorded example although the pointed arch appeared earlier in Abbassid architecture in Ukhaidir Palace (Iraq, 778), the Alqsa Mosque (above), Ramlah Cistern (789) as well as Jussaq Al-Khaqani Palace (Samarra, 836). However, the mosque of Ibn Tulun remains the first building where the pointed arch was used constructively and systematically (Figure 4). This was at least two and a half centuries before it was introduced to Europe. Rice wrote "The pointed arch had already been used in Syria, but in the mosque of Ibn Tulun we have one of the earliest examples of its use on an extensive scale, some centuries before it was exploited in the West by the Gothic architects". According to the same theory, Ibn Tulun Mosque was also the means through which the pier was transmitted to Europe. The transfer of these motifs to Europe is manifest through the strong links the Fatimids had during the 11th century with Amalfitan and Venetian traders who often visited Cairo and this monument.

Decorative elements of the Mosque and its contribution
The internal decorative works are found mainly in the frames and crowns of the piers, arches and windows. These are in the form of a band consisting of series of curved lines, flower buds and diamond shapes. On the architrave of arcades and windows, is found a delicate combination of floral and geometrical patterns which show a great similarity to the one developed in Samarra. Such patterns were traced to Sassanian and Hellenic influences. According to Richmond they represent the earliest example of Arabesque, a pattern which became a prominent theme in most Muslim decorative art.
Calligraphy works took the form of decorative strips covering the wooden rail of higher sections of the walls. They also decorate the internal frames of windows and the area above the Mihrab.
The external walls of the Mosque were crowned with curious ornamental battlements in the form of a chain of little human figures (pigmies) defending the roof. Sources indicate that these provisions were also appreciated by Medieval European visitors, becoming later a prototype of Gothic pierced and crested parapets.
Ibn Tulun Mosque is a rare example where Europeans openly admitted its influence on the development of many features of their architecture. Elements such as the pointed arch, the pier, and wall battlements became the essential ingredients of Gothic architecture. This mosque should occupy a prime position in the list of historic and architectural achievements of Muslim civilisation.

1The oldest mosque of Egypt is the Mosque of Amru Ibn Al-Aas built in Fustat in 642.
2The Tulunids, formed a dynasty that lasted nearly forty years (868-905).
3Reference to one of the stories narrated by Al-Maqrizi who claimed that ibn Tulun was told that the mosque would require some 300 columns to carry the proposed roof span. Such a number would be difficult to collect and transport. Ibn Tulun postponed the construction work to search for an alternative solution. Al-Maqrizi added that one of the Emir's prisoners, who happened to be a Christian, heard of the incident and came up with the pier idea. The Emir welcomed the suggestion and immediately freed the prisoner, offered him prizes and asked him to build the Mosque.
4Ibid. p.108.
5Although the use of an early version of the pier appeared in Ribat of Sussa (821), Jussaq Al-Khaqani in Samarra (836), then in Great Mosque of Sussa (850) and Abu Dulaf (Samarra 859/60), but in Ibn Tulun it became for the first time a coherent architectural unit of the architectural system of the mosque.

"When the Game Stands Tall" isn't your typical football movie. Which, for its own sake, is both good and bad.
It's a positive thing that De La Salle High School football coach Bob Ladouceur's message is broadcast loud and clear: Great teams are more than the sum of their parts. Play for the man next to you. Never give up. Character counts. Leave it all on the field.
Those are borderline cliches, to be sure, but that's how the football team from the Catholic school in Concord does things. It's an admirable ethos, and if record-breaking 151-game win streaks count, it works. It's difficult to see this film and, if one believes half of what it portrays, not feel inspired by how "Coach Lad" and his staff spread their collective message.
Still, from a sports-movie point of view, something feels a bit off. It's not the typical claw-your-way-to-top story arc we expect of the best of them. Not that they have to. But De La Salle — at least in 2004, the year in which the film is set — started at the top. They were excellent from the get-go, and that puts the film at an immediate disadvantage when it comes to winning over an audience.
The question then becomes: When you're the best, and things go south, how do the best respond? And is that worthy of an overtly dramatic movie that struggles with credibility? Can being the best and hitting some bumps in the road before regaining the crown inspire moviegoers to root for the so-called comeback?
Films based on real-life events have mountains to climb that others don't, especially when so many of the characters and the people who love them are still around. Even if they accept that a certain amount of "When the Game Stands Tall" is hype, will moviegoers root for a big comeback when the team in question has to "overcome" losing only two games, after "The Streak" of not losing for 12 years? That would be almost laughable, if not for the enormous expectations that come with playing for a program that routinely has perfect seasons.
There were some major obstacles to be sure, and these are set up early in the story. First there's the temporary loss of Ladouceur, who suffers a heart attack shortly after they've won game No. 151, the 2003 section championship. Then in August 2004, one of their own is tragically shot the day before he leaves for college and just weeks before the 2004 season is to begin.
But though compassion-inducing, those problems aren't necessarily alien to dozens of high school football programs, especially in inner cities. So the clawing up is really a matter of clawing back up, and it's less sympathetic when the team hasn't been an underdog in years.
Ladouceur is played stoically by Jim Caviezel ("The Passion of the Christ" and TV's "Person of Interest"). The film follows Ladouceur's quest to build quality young men through disciplined football while battling the demands of time constraints, pushy parents, outside job offers, media pressure, health problems and finally, a team shocked not only by the shooting death of one of its best, but losing two straight games they weren't supposed to lose. Yes, they lost two whole games. Then again, for De La Salle, losing twice isn't the same as it might be elsewhere.
Caviezel — who at times sounds a lot like Tom Skerritt's character in "Top Gun" — plays a great Coach Lad … if Coach Lad is indeed silently and constantly dramatic, always on-point and absolutely inflexible in his approach, even at the cost of massive personal sacrifice. Which makes a great character on film but can't help but make someone wonder how close it comes to reality (and makes it worth sitting through the credits to get a look at the real Ladouceur, who seems capable of the occasional smile). The same goes for Laura Dern, who is mostly wasted as the coach's wife, Bev Ladouceur, whose main job seems to be pointing out the obvious to her husband.
Here's where I confess to not having the objectivity of other reviewers. I have family who played sports at De La Salle. I grew up knowing lots of people who played for the Spartans. I know people who worked on the movie. I worked with Neil Hayes, who wrote the book on which the movie is based. I have been friends with sportswriters who have covered the team and have enjoyed entertaining chats with Terry Eidson (the assistant coach portrayed in a light and funny manner by Michael Chiklis, who provides an accurate depiction and provides a much-needed balance to Caviezel's intense Ladouceur). I live close enough to the football field to hear the team practice from my yard.
And, truth be told, I found the movie mildly disappointing. And not as someone unhappy about the creative license taken with the storyline or who was chosen to portray the real-life characters. That's Hollywood. But I walked out of the theater feeling like I'd seen an extremely glossy docudrama.
That said, the football scenes are realistic and full of adrenaline — the Spartans' fatigue and heat issues in a pivotal game are captured well by director Thomas Carter ("Coach Carter," "Save the Last Dance"). Also, it would be difficult to overstate the inherent drama of Terrance Kelly — one of the country's best high school players and seemingly all around good guy — being killed pretty much randomly the night before he was to escape the nasty streets of Richmond for what many believed would be a slam-dunk successful college career.
But beyond the big-picture ideas, the film itself struggled to answer its own questions. The classic father-son conflicted subplot involving Ladouceur's son Danny (Matthew Daddario) was obvious and seemed forced to add to the coach's challenges. I kept waiting for difficult star Tayshon Lanear (Jessie Usher) to erupt, given his bountiful screen time and the difficulties he supposedly represented. There were a few obvious miscues (the portrayal of the media was beyond ridiculous).
Even if the De La Salle High School football program is a great story on its own merits — and it really is — the Hollywood treatment doesn't breed the kind of sympathy or interest a feature film requires. To enjoy this film requires the viewer to focus on the positive message — that there's more to high school football than numbers on a scoreboard.
It was obvious De La Salle doesn't need the hype. Yet maybe the message does. Which Coach Ladouceur and the real Spartan insiders would likely have said all along.

Established in 1942, the 103rd Infantry Division landed in southern France in late October 1944, a few months after the Allied invasion of western Europe on D-Day (June 6, 1944). From the port of Marseille, the "Cactus" division advanced northward, eventually crossing into Germany in December 1944. The swift German offensive into the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge that month forced the unit to take up defensive positions in the area of Alsace-Lorraine. In March 1945, the 103rd advanced into the Rhineland, then moved southward into Bavaria. On May 3, 1945, the division captured the city of Innsbruck in Austria.
As the 103rd moved into Bavaria, its troops uncovered one of the Nazi subcamps attached to the Kaufering camp complex in the Landsberg area.
The 103rd Infantry Division was recognized as a liberating unit by the US Army's Center of Military History and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1985.
Casualty Figures
Casualty figures for the 103rd Infantry Division, European theater of operations:
- Total battle casualties: 4,558
- Total deaths in battle: 834
Division Nickname
The 103rd Infantry Division, the "Cactus" division, is so called after the 103rd's shoulder patch, a cactus in a gold circle. The cactus is representative of the states whose troops formed the unit in the early 1920s: Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.
