QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins."
— Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
FACT OF THE DAY
Nobody knows who built the Taj Mahal. The names of the architects, masons, and designers that have come down to us have all proved to be latter-day inventions, and there is no evidence to indicate who the real creators were.

ODD NEWS
Drunken mother wields sword at grade school
According to court records, an employee at Riverview Elementary School in Memphis reported a drunken woman armed with a sword was running through the halls of the school and had threatened to cut her.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police said the mother of an elementary school student drank a 40 ounce bottle of malt liquor before brandishing a sword in her child's school. The woman, 32, apparently intended to confront the parents of another child who had been in a spitting match with her child the previous day.
Officers who arrived on the scene
retrieved a black cane that concealed the blade.
Police get drunk for sobriety test training
The woman was charged with ag-gravated assault and having a weapon on school property.
DAYTON, Ohio — Law enforcement officers in southwest Ohio were chugging down alcoholic drinks this week as part of a training exercise on how to give field sobriety tests. Several police officers and deputy sheriffs in Montgomery County volunteered to drink so colleagues could practice conducting the tests given to suspected drunk drivers.
Dayton officer Will Wright says off-
cials wanted officers to drink until they had slurred speech, glassy eyes and a lack of coordination.
One test required intoxicated officers to walk heel-to-toe down a line and then hold up one leg to demonstrate balance.
Wright says that he hopes the exercise at the Dayton Police Academy helped officers gain a better understanding of how to deal with impaired drivers.
Cargo plane door opens mid-flight, drops mail
KALISPELL, Mont. — A cargo plane door opened in flight over Montana and likely turned two bags into an air mail.
Crews are searching the Bob Marshall
Wilderness Complex for the two priority mail bags that might have fallen out of the plane last weekend.
Alpine Air reported that a cargo hatch on the twin-engine turboprop opened during the flight between Billings and Kalispell and the pilot was unable to close it. The plane carried about 3,000 pounds of mail.
Postal workers aren't sure any mail is missing, but if any is, they say it's likely two bags, or about 25 packages.
Weather hampered the search on Thursday for the bright orange mail bags.
Worchestershire sauce used in motel attack
FLORENCE, Ala. — Police said a
38-year-old man was charged with beating another man at a motel with a sauce bottle and a fire extinguisher. Police said the suspect was being held at the Lauderdale County Jail on $6,000 bond on charges he attacked a 43-year-old man who was returning to his motel room.
Officers said that as the man opened the door to his room Wednesday night, the suspect hit him on the head with a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, then grabbed a fire extinguisher and hit him on the head and face.
Officials at Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital said the victim was treated in the emergency room and admitted to the hospital, where he is listed in good condition.
