Actress Natalie Wood was born in San Francisco on July 20, 1938. At 16, she co-starred with James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955). In 1961, she played Maria in West Side Story and was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in Splendor in the Grass. In 1981,
"You get tough in this business, until you get big enough to hire people to get tough for you. Then you can sit back and be a lady."
"Let's face it, acting is not important. Einstein is important. Jonas Salk is important. I know they're not going to send my latest movie up in a time capsule."
Wood drowned during a boating trip with husband Robert Wagner and Brainstorm (1983) co-star Christopher Walken. The circumstances of her death remain controversial.
A Child Actress
The daughter of Russian immigrants, Natalie Wood was born on July 20, 1938, in San Francisco, California, and started performing an early age. Her mother Maria enrolled her ballet classes as a small child. At the age of 4, Wood landed her first film role, a bit part in Happy Land (1943), which happened to be filming in Santa Rosa, California, where she was living at the time. She had won over director Irving Pichel after her mother orchestrated their introduction. Later Wood said that her mother told her to "make Mr. Pichel love you."
The dark-haired, doe-eyed girl soon made other film appearances. Wood tugged on the heart strings of audiences with her small role as an orphan in the 1946 drama Tomorrow Is Forever with Claudette Colbert and Orson Welles. In 1947, she again won over move-goers with her first starring role, in Miracle on 34th Street. This movie, about a girl who questions the existence of Santa Claus, made Wood as a star.
Major Film Roles
At the age of 16, Wood began filming one of her most famous films. She co-starred with James Dean and Sal Mineo in the 1955, groundbreaking depiction of teenage rebellion and angst, Rebel Without a Cause. In the film, Wood played the girlfriend of a troubled outsider, played by James Dean. She earned an Academy Award nomination for her work.
As an actress under contract, Wood sometimes had to make movies that she didn't want to. Her mother also pressured her at times, too. One of her least favorite projects was The Searchers, a 1956 western starring John Wayne. Wood felt she had been miscast as a white girl who was abducted and then raised by Native Americans.
Wood struggled to get good acting parts, but in the 1960s she landed some of her most famous roles. In 1961, she starred opposite Warren Beatty in Splendor in the Grass, playing the part of young girl torn by desire and social conventions. In this role, Wood showed great range as an emotionally fragile young woman driven to madness. That same year, she starred in another troubled romance, West Side Story, in which she falls for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks. This urban retelling of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet proved to be a hit. Wood did all her own dancing in this popular musical, but her singing was done by Marni Nixon, a Broadway performer.
Mirroring her own life story in a way, Wood played the title character in 1962's Gypsy, the musical about stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. Rosalind Russell co-starred as her domineering stage mother who drove her daughter to perform.

Alternative question titles to reduce duplicates
My point is that in a few occasions, trying to find a solution to a problem took me quite a long time. It turned out that there already were a corresponding question with a good answer in SO, but due to a different OP's approach to the problem, or due to poor wording, I couldn't find the answers easily. I know I'll face some of these problems again, and would like to help myself by rewriting the question. I have considered adding a new wording as a comment to the OP's question, but I'm not sure if this will help the search (are comments indexed?), nor if it won't be considered to disruptive... |

I'm confused now: so it is legitimate to write a new question for an existing question with improvable wording, and close it as duplicate? |

Provide "How to ask a question" FAQ in non-English human languages
@Servy My point is not that this will result in more non-English entries (this could be an unintended side-effect), but that this suggestion will not add much value. On the other hand, I have never come across such a non-English post in StackOverflow (well done, moderators!), so I don't have a clue if this side-effect is even realistic. |

Alternative to Dembski's Theodicy?
by BilboI've been skimming through William Dembski's The End of Christianity. I was pleased to find out that he also attributes the design of natural evil to Satan. As he correctly points out, C. S. Lewis suggested this idea in Mere Christianity and The Problem of Pain. And I'm also pleased to see that he, too, thinks that predation and animal pain is evil, along with Lewis.
However, the question arises, why allow Satan to cause so much pain and suffering, especially long before humanity appears on the scene? If I understand Dembksi's answer from the little I've read, he suggests that the best explanation is that God has acted retroactively in Earth's history, foreseeing the Fall of Adam and Eve. In other words, the natural evil that has plagued Earth for hundreds of millions of years before we showed up is a retroactive consequence of our rebellion against God. Since God is not bound by time, He is able to act in the past, based on events that happen in the future. As punishment and as part of the redemptive process, God allows Satan to reek wreak havoc upon this planet, both before and after Adam and Eve's rebellion.
I think I buy the idea of God being able to act in the past based on future actions. But I find something unsatisfying about it. What right did Satan have to this planet, before we fell? I can understand his having a right to it after we fell, but not before. Perhaps he had a retroactive right to it. Perhaps God said to Satan, "Because 500 million years from now humans will listen to you instead of to me, you have the right to this planet now." I guess that would work.
But there might be an equally good alternative. In Lewis's fictional work, Out of the Silent Planet, each of the planets of our solar system is ruled by an Oyarsa (an angel), who has helped to create the planet, the life on it, and takes care of it. In Lewis's story, the Oyarsa on Earth is probably Satan, who may have been in charge of Earth before he rebelled against God. Perhaps he has a right to rule Earth because it was given to him before he rebelled. In The Silmarillion, J.R.R.Tolkien pursues the same sort of theme. God sings and the angels join in. One of them tries singing his own tune, which throws everything into disharmony. God starts another tune, which brings the disharmony into harmony. The rebellious angel then tries singing another tune, which is also in disharmony. Once again God starts another tune, which brings everything into harmony, again. Then God reveals to the angels that by their singing they have created Middle Earth, which has both good and evil in it.
Perhaps Lewis and Tolkien's fictional accounts reflect something that actually happened once. Perhaps before Satan rebelled he was given responsibility over Earth. And with his rebellion evil came to life on Earth.
If we adopt this alternate view, what then do we make of humanity's role? Could it be that their role was originally a redemptive one? Had they obeyed God and not fallen, would they have been given the authority to usurp Satan, and rule Earth in his place, restoring it to what God originally meant it to be? By not obeying God, did they subject all their descendants to Satan's power, until the One came who could finally live in perfect subjection to God, even unto death, and then rising from it, and thus free us all?
I'm not sure if this second view is better or more faithful to Scripture than Dembski's. But it might be worth thinking about.

Former shionogi employee admits to hack attack on company servers
August 16, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A Georgia man who froze the operations of a New Jersey pharmaceutical company where he had worked by deleting portions of its computer network pleaded guilty this morning, admitting he executed the attack, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Jason Cornish, 37, of Smyrna, Ga., pleaded guilty to an Information charging him with knowingly transmitting computer code with the intent to damage computers in interstate commerce. Cornish entered his guilty plea before U.S. District Judge Stanely R. Chesler in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Cornish was an information technology employee at Shionogi, Inc., a United States subsidiary of a Japanese pharmaceutical company with operations in New Jersey and Georgia.
In late September 2010, shortly after Cornish had resigned from Shionogi, the company announced layoffs that would affect an individual identified in court documents as B.N., Cornish's close friend and former supervisor.
In the early morning hours of February 3, 2011, Cornish gained unauthorized access to Shionogi's computer network. Cornish used a Shionogi user account to access a Shionogi server, then took control of a piece of software that he had secretly installed on the server several weeks earlier.
Cornish then used the secretly installed software program to delete the contents of each of 15 "virtual hosts" on Shionogi's computer network. These 15 virtual hosts (subdivisions on a computer designed to make it function like several computers) housed the equivalent of 88 different computer servers. Cornish used his familiarity with Shionogi's network to identify each of these virtual hosts by name or by its corresponding Internet Protocol address.
The deleted servers housed most of Shionogi's American computer infrastructure, including the company's e-mail and Blackberry servers, its order tracking system, and its financial management software. The attack effectively froze Shionogi's operations for a number of days, leaving company employees unable to ship product, cut checks, or communicate by email. Shionogi sustained approximately $800,000 in losses responding to the attack, conducting damage assessments, and restoring the company's network to its prior condition.
The investigation by the FBI's Cyber Crimes Task Force revealed that the attack originated from a computer connected to the wireless network of a Smyrna McDonald's where Cornish had used his credit card to make a purchase minutes before the attack. Cornish also gained unauthorized access to Shionogi's network from his home Internet connection using administrative passwords to which he had access as an employee.
The charge to which Cornish pleaded guilty carries a maximum potential penalty of
10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is currently scheduled for November 10, 2011.
U.S. Attorney Fishman thanked special agents of the FBI's Cyber Crimes Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark; and in Atlanta, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Brian D. Lamkin, with the investigation leading to the guilty plea.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth B. Kosto of the U.S. Attorney's Office Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Section in the Office's Economic Crimes Unit in Newark.
Defense counsel: Richard V. Merritt Esq., Smyrna, Ga.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.

"Chicago," Presented by Charleston Light Opera Guild
WHERE: Civic Center Little Theater
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Aug. 9-10; 3 p.m. Sunday and Aug. 11
INFO: 304-343-2287 or www.charlestonlightoperaguild.org
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Actress Katlin Kouns said the hardest part of preparing for the role of Roxie Hart, one of the two leads in the musical "Chicago," is that she and Hart are nothing alike.
"It's a different role for me to play when you're used to playing more of ingénue," she said.
Kouns, who'll be singing and dancing up a storm as Hart when the Charleston Light Opera Guild opens the show Friday, fumbled a little when she tried to explain what made Hart so different.
"Roxie Hart is typically played by a more...uh...experienced actress...someone who's more advanced in age, more..."
She paused to think, and then added, "I mean a lot of the themes of the show are more mature -- and that's fine with me, but it was a lot of work."
Kouns, 17, is a senior at Nitro High School.
"Chicago" will make the young actress' third production with the guild and her third musical overall. Nitro High School, she said, doesn't have a theater department.
"The only performing arts option we have is the show choir."
Which Kouns had been a member of for three years before deciding to join the guild.
"Musical theater, that's where my passion is," she said.
Kouns has loved musicals almost as long as she can remember. They're her big love -- right after singer/actress/icon Barbra Streisand. Streisand is who inspired Kouns to try musical theater in the first place.

Bowling alley proposed for Nutley's Franklin Avenue
A bowling alley could be rolling onto Nutley's Franklin Avenue.
On Monday night, Nutley Zoning Board members and residents heard plans for a bar, restaurant and bowling alley at 184 Franklin Ave.
Nutley attorney Thomas DiBiasi represented applicant Jim Grueter, well known for Jim Dandy's. Grueter is hoping to bring Jim Dandy's II to the location and hopes to continue the success that the 563 Franklin Ave. location brings.
Joseph Haines of Dassa Haines Architects in Montclair testified.
The 45-foot wide, two-story brick building plans to hold 135 seats and 12 bowling lanes, according to Haines.
The location is approximately 14,000 square feet and serves as a hub to Nutley's downtown.
"The [building] needs to be spruced up and brought back to life," Haines told the board.
Haines, a life-long Nutley resident, said he couldn't remember the last time the building was productive. "It hasn't been touched since the 1970s," he said.
The building, which goes 140-feet deep. "Inside, it's vacant and very distressed, which is a kind word for the space," Haines said.

Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
"So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book." Today BioLogos premieres the first in a new series of introductory videos.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.

Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.

Objective: To reduce motor carrier fleet accident rates by establishing a company standard for safe driving.
Description: A preventable accident is one which occurs because the driver fails to act in a reasonably expected manner to prevent it. In judging whether the driver's actions were reasonable, one seeks to determine whether the driver drove defensively and demonstrated an acceptable level of skill and knowledge. The judgment of what is reasonable can be based on a company-adopted definition, thus establishing a goal for its safety management programs.
Note that the above definition of preventable accident is focused on the actions of the driver. It is the commonly used definition in evaluating driver performance. A broader definition, which can be used to evaluate the driver's and the motor carrier's actions, is given by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations as follows: Preventable accident on the part of a motor carrier means an accident (1) that involved a commercial motor vehicle, and (2) that could have been averted but for an act, or failure to act, by the motor carrier, or the driver.
The concept of a preventable accident is a fleet safety management tool which achieves the following goals:
Questions for Management:
References: M1; M2; M4; M5.
Objective: To improve motor carrier fleet safety by recruiting qualified drivers and monitoring the performance and qualifications of existing drivers.
Description: The great majority of preventable accidents can be shown to be directly related to the performance of the driver. It is therefore extremely productive to any fleet safety program to have careful new driver selection and adequate monitoring procedures for existing drivers.
When hiring new drivers:
References: FMCSR Part 391. M1; M2; C1; C2.
Objective: To encourage safe driving and improve driver awareness of safety.
Description: Safe driving recognition or incentive programs should be an integral part of a formal fleet safety program. Such programs identify superior driving performance and set forth the selected drivers as examples to be emulated by the rest of the fleet. Such programs can be generated internally within the company or through participation in national safe driver award programs conducted by associations such as the National Safety Council or the American Trucking Associations.
Management Tips:
References: FMCSR Part 383 Subpart C and G; Part 385 M1; M2; C3.
Objective: To improve fleet safety by remedial training or termination of unqualified drivers.
Description: Driving is a profession requiring skill, knowledge, physical and mental health and character integrity. Public safety and company reputation requires that drivers be fully qualified. Drivers who are not qualified should receive remedial training or be terminated if they cannot be brought up to the necessary level of competence.
References: FMCSR Part 391 M1; M2.
Objective: To prevent accidents caused by drivers under the influence by identifying and controlling abusers.
Description: It has been well documented that drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs have been involved in about half of all fatal traffic accidents. Drinking or substance abuse by drivers of alcohol or drugs cannot be tolerated. Company management must be acutely aware of the seriousness of this societal problem and establish procedures to effectively control it within their respective organizations.
Driving Tips:
References: FMCSR Part 383.51; 383.53; 391 Subpart H; 392.4; 392.5.
Objective: To prevent accidents caused by ill and fatigued drivers through the use of common sense and by compliance with FMCSR's regarding physical qualifications and hours-of-service.
Description: Everyone understands how ill or fatigued drivers can be a hazard to themselves and others. Nonetheless, drivers sometimes push their bodies beyond reasonable limits and become a hazard anyway. This is why comprehensive federal regulations have been established. In addition to being law, these regulations are useful guides to both the driver and his supervisors in defining reasonable, sensible limitations on when medical conditions or duty status calls for rest and no driving.
References: FMCSR Part 391 Subpart E; 392.3; 392.4; 392.5; 395.
Objective: To improve safe driving performance with an effective fleet safety program.
Description: Fleet safe driving performance is dependent on management commitment to the implementation of a formal fleet safety program. An effective safety program will interact with most aspects of fleet operations and challenge the skills and knowledge of its supervisors and drivers.
References: FMCSR Part 385 M1; M2.
Objective: To improve fleet safety through improved communication.
Description: The company driver manual is a key communication link between the company and its drivers. It conveniently brings together information about the company, its policies and procedures. It is indispensable for training new drivers and is a handy reference for existing drivers. The manual should be progressively developed and continually updated.
References: M1; M2; C1.
Objective: To improve fleet safety through use of training aids.
Description: The number of driver training aids is so great that the problem is how to locate, select and evaluate the most appropriate ones for the company. It is important to determine what mix of audio-visual aids, posters, manuals, pamphlets and other literature is most effective in improving the company's training program. Advice is available from a number of organizations.
References: C1 to C6; D1 to D4.
Objective: To improve fleet safety by improving driver skills and knowledge.
Description: Truck driving schools are good sources for motivated young drivers and a means for remedial training. There are many schools. Some are operated commercially, others are operated privately by large carriers. Each school is different; with differing objectives, facilities, and staff orientation. It is important to check that the curriculum of the school matches the needs of the company, before the school is selected.
References: D4.
Objective: To maximize safe driving efficiency through planning at the dispatching level.
Description: Assisting the driver with pre-trip planning avoids overburdening the driver with unusual driving conditions caused by tight schedules, unusual cargoes, and unfamiliar or hazardous routes.
References: FMCSR Part 392.14; Part 395. D1.

The future may be mobile, but capitalizing on the mobile opportunity hasn't exactly been easy for many publishers and advertisers.
As companies like Facebook and Twitter are learning the hard way, delivering effective ads to consumers through mobile devices can be tough.
Despite the fact that mobile devices are always on and always connected, they have natural limitations which restrict where and how many ads can be served.

Thanks to the popularity of the iPhone and iPad, Apple arguably has by far the most impressive ecosystem in the mobile market. Based on this, one might logically assume that the company should have the ability to thrive in the mobile advertising space.
As we've reported before, however, Apple's mobile ad offering, iAd, has struggled. And even with the recruitment of a new executive from Adobe to turn it around, iAd's position in the market is apparently not improving.

When Apple launched its iAd mobile advertising offering, there was reason to be excited. After all, Steve Jobs was promising something revolutionary, and betting against him was not for the faint of heart.
Unsurprisingly, major brands lined up to try out iAds. Yes, the minimums were high, and Apple exerted far more control over the creative process than was typical, but if the ads were as cool as its devices, all would work out. Or so the thinking went.

Social media is big. Mobile is big. So it shouldn't come as any surprise that the number of consumers using their mobile phones to interact with popular social media hubs like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn is growing rapidly.
According to comScore, the number of mobile users in the United States ages 13 and up who accessed a social networking or blog website has grown a whopping 37% in the past year.
What's more: nearly 50% of these users are social networking on a daily basis using their mobile devices.

As internet-connected mobile devices find their way into the hands of more and more consumers, advertisers are increasingly focusing on the mobile channel.
Earlier this year, comScore found that the number of advertisers buying mobile inventory has grown 120% in two years.
Given the rise of mobile, it's no surprise that some are suggesting mobile could quickly become one of the most important channels for advertisers.
For instance, Razorfish's Mobile Practice Lead, Paul Gelb, has predicted that mobile will surpass the $130bn/year television advertising market -- and soon.

Quakers downed by 25 against Baldwin-Wallace
BEREA, Ohio (January 25, 2003) The Wilmington College Quakers were downed 100-75 in Berea against the Yellow Jackets of Baldwin-Wallace College. The Quakers put four players in double figures in the game, but came out on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
Baldwin-Wallace (10-7, 6-4 OAC) jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the opening minutes and never trailed the rest of the contest. The Quakers cut the deficit to three with just eight minutes left in the half before the Yellow Jackets opened a 10-0 run to take the lead to double figures. The lead for B-W would grow to as high as 18 when the hosts from Berea went into intermission with an 18-point, 45-27 lead.
Wilmington (3-14, 1-9) cut the deficit to 15 in the first minute of the second half, but a 20-5 run gave the hosts a 30-point lead, as they did not look back the rest of the way in the 25-point win.
Josh Rohrbacher (Columbus/Beechcroft) led the team with 13 points while David Guy (Webb City, MO/Webb City) scored 12, Adam Weber (Peebles/Peebles) scored 11 and Deon Short (Cincinnati/Mt. Healthy) chipped in with 10. Stephen Gee (West Milton/Milton-Union) pulled down a game-high nine rebounds as the Green and White out-rebounded the Yellow Jackets 30-25. Greg Liggens (Toledo/Scott) dished out a game-high five assists for the Green and White.
Baldwin-Wallace put all five starters in double figures, with Jon Carroll leading the way with a game-high 23 points. Shawn McCormick scored 18 while Tom Harrington and Thad Davis each scored 14 and Eric Reminder chipped in 13. Davis pulled down a team-high six rebounds as Carroll dished out a game-leading eight assists.
The next game for the Green and White is set for Wednesday, January 29 when the team travels to Ada, Ohio to face off against the Polar Bears of Ohio Northern University with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m.

Ohio State vs. Duke: Report Card Grades for the Buckeyes
By Scott Polacek ,
If a tie is like kissing your sister, then the Big Ten and ACC better pucker up.
The ACC/Big Ten Challenge ended in a tie at six games apiece when Duke came from behind to beat Ohio State in Cameron Indoor Stadium Wednesday.
This loss is all about perspective if you are a Buckeyes fan. Sure, the team played very well in the first half and for short stretches in the second at one of the toughest venues in America, but blowing a 10-point lead is always tough to swallow.
Read on to see the grades for Ohio State and its players.
If it was not for the offensive rebounds that Ohio State was grabbing in the first half, the offensive performance would have been borderline putrid.
The Buckeyes shot an embarrassing 33.8 percent from the field and an even worse 28.6 percent clip from behind the three-point line.
To make matters worse, the Scarlet and Gray missed a handful of critical looks from the line down the stretch, which isn't going to cut it when trying to pull off an upset in Cameron.
Sure, Deshaun Thomas being in early foul trouble didn't help, but even when he was in the game, his teammates struggled to find him for open shots. There was way too much one-on-one play from almost everyone who played.
If you are looking for the main reason why the Buckeyes lost, look no further than the offense.
Had Ohio State played defense in the second half like it did in the first half, this grade would be an A-plus.
However, the wheels came off after intermission, as Duke started to bang home plenty of open looks from downtown. What's more, it seemed as if the Buckeyes had a number of possessions where they played great defense for 30 seconds and then let someone blow by them to the basket for an easy hoop.
To put things into perspective, the Blue Devils scored a mere 23 points in the first half, but poured in 50 after halftime.
Although that second half performance was certainly frustrating for Ohio State supporters, let's not overlook how great the defense was in the first half.
If Thad Matta can find a way to get his team to replicate its early defense, the Buckeyes should win plenty of games this year.
This grade might be a bit harsh, but this was one of the worst games I have seen Aaron Craft play during his tenure at Ohio State.
Craft took 15 shots on the offensive side, which is far too many for someone who is supposed to be a pass-first point guard. In fact, no Buckeye shot more times from the field than Craft, and he only hit three of them.
On the defensive side Craft was certainly better, but he didn't really make the type of impact that Ohio State fans are accustomed to seeing. He didn't rack up any steals, only drew one charge and frankly didn't create the type of disruption he usually does.
Perhaps the bar has been set so high for Craft on defense that we are disappointed when he doesn't live up to it. He certainly didn't against Duke.
Craft also provided a cherry on top of this ugly sundae by fouling out of the game at the end.
The biggest problem with Lenzelle Smith's performance was his shot selection.
He attempted 12 shots and hit four, but many of those looks were completely forced over tight defense. Smith is a decent option for the Buckeyes, but he shouldn't be taking those types of shots.
Smith's defense was much better than his offense, but there were a handful of mental lapses that resulted in open looks for his man. In case you didn't guess, those primarily came in the second half.
Ultimately, it is probably a good sign for Ohio State that Smith is being so assertive on offense this year. His contributions will be much needed when the grind of the Big Ten begins.
Sam Thompson was one of the few bright spots for Ohio State in Wednesday's game.
The sophomore played with great energy on both sides of the ball and wasn't the liability on offense that he was for much of last year.
Thompson was formidable on defense, which was punctuated by his eight rebounds. He also looked explosive driving the lane, even though he only scored four points.
It is clear at this point that Thad Matta is more comfortable with Thompson playing the majority of the minutes at the small forward spot instead of LaQuinton Ross.
If Deshaun Thomas had gotten more looks on the offensive side, the Buckeyes may have come away from this game with a victory.
It seemed as if Thomas was pressing a bit early, but he was just starting to settle into a groove when he picked up a critical second foul. While Ohio State held it together until halftime without its best player, a few extra looks at the hoop would have served Thomas well in the second frame.
Frankly, Thomas' teammates needed to look for him more in the second half, although he wasn't offering them much in terms of getting open.
As for the defense, there is clearly some improvement, but he just looks lost way too often. Only two rebounds from the power forward spot is also borderline unacceptable.
Two rebounds and three fouls.
That is what Evan Ravenel offered Ohio State from the starting center position. Yes, Ravenel was 4-of-4 shooting from the field, but Thad Matta probably prefers a better performance on defense and the glass from Ravenel over those types of offensive numbers.
Not to play armchair quarterback, but you have to wonder if the Buckeyes would be better off playing Amir Williams in the center spot for the majority of the minutes.
The taller Williams grabbed 10 rebounds off the bench and altered a number of Duke shots in the paint.
Ravenel simply didn't.
Thad Matta's bench, which seems to be getting more minutes than it has in past years, did an excellent job in the first half, holding ship with Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas in serious foul trouble.
Amir Williams was a force on the glass as discussed in the Evan Ravenel slide, LaQuinton Ross was getting some open looks and boards and Shannon Scott looked fairly comfortable running the offense.
And then the second half began.
Williams wasn't as dominant grabbing rebounds as he was early, Ross barely played and Scott looked like a completely different player.
In fact, had Scott not completely forced the issue on a number of possessions and finished with a 1-of-8 line from the field, the Buckeyes' bench would have garnered a much better grade than this.
There's really only so much you can do as a head coach on the road in an intimidating environment when your two upperclassmen and leaders are in foul trouble during much of the game.
Thad Matta has been criticized in the past for his under-utilization of the bench, but I thought he made a number of effective substitutions and rotated eight players throughout much of the contest.
The best thing Matta could have done is taken a timeout before Duke went on its late game run and stressed to his team that Deshaun Thomas needed to be getting the ball. There were too many possessions where Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott were forcing the issue and not looking for the best player.
I was definitely a bit harsh on some of the grading, but it's hard to play the moral victory card when you are the No. 4 team in the nation.
There were a number of question marks surrounding the Buckeyes heading into this one, and the weak schedule to this point hadn't done much to provide us with answers.
Despite the heartbreaking loss, Ohio State fans have to be encouraged by the fact that their young team went into arguably the most intimidating arena in the country and controlled much of the game against an incredibly talented Duke squad.
College basketball is much different than its football counterpart because a tough loss like this does not derail the entire season.
Thad Matta's bunch will learn from this and should be ready to play against the majority of the teams in a deep Big Ten.

In the post title line, I substituted XXs for the real word in this link. It is horrifying what people sometimes say to us, and this video catches it with humor. When it happens to you, I have two strategy suggestions (both better than either bursting into tears or slapping the offensive speaker):
1. Pause for a full minute; this gives you time to collect yourself. Then in a puzzled (not an angry) voice, say: "What did you just say that to me?"
2. Keep a list of all the hienous, hurtful, stupid remarks. Then, when someone makes one, you can think: "There is one for the list." This gives you a place to put your rage.
Do watch and enjoy this video:

Closed captioning is an assistive technology for the hearing impaired that displays the audio portion of a television signal as printed words on the television screen. Closed captions are hidden as encoded data within the television signal, and a viewer wishing to see the captions must use a set-top decoder or a television with built-in decoder circuitry. Since July 1993, all television sets with screens 13 inches or larger have been manufactured with built-in decoder circuitry.
New regulations have recently gone into effect regarding similar closed captioning on certain website video presentations.
CBS4 WHBF-TV broadcasts contain closed captioning. If you experience problems with closed captioning on your television set or on internet video presentations covered under the provision, please contact us so that we can remedy the situation or provide assistance. Please contact J.D. Walls, Director of Broadcast Operations at 309-786-5441 x206 Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM. After hours, use 309-236-0612. You may also write to J.D. Walls, c/o CBS4 WHBF-TV, 231 18th Street, Rock Island, IL or send a fax to 309-788-4975, or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please note that most of the programming on The Live Well Network (WHBF 4.2) is currently exempt from closed captioning rules.

We never knew that this wonderful Bed and Breakfast even existed in the Plymouth WI area and we lived in Elkhart Lake for over 9 years before leaving the area. We recently had an anniversary dinner to attend in Plymouth and found Inn on Hillwind. We found this Inn to be delightful and very wonderful experience in the Plymouth WI area. We plan to come back often during various seasons of the year. Breakfast and snacks were fantastic. They are better than any Chicago Hotel or Fancy Hotel could offer. Cannot wait to go back. Wonderful and friendly owners.

A beautiful, peaceful country setting. Jean welcomed us with a warm, pleasant atmosphere with soft background music, a plate of wonderful fresh backed cookies just out of the oven, the smell of the house was wonderful coming in. She explained our options of coming down to breakfast or leaving it at our door. She was very helpful in explaining area attractions and any questions we had and left us a bottle of wine, a plate of those wonderful cookies, pop corn and a pitcher of hot water for tea if desired on the dining table. We stayed in the smallest room at the Inn which was clean and decorated with attention to detail with a cute private balcony which we sat out on with our glass of wine listening to the birds, very relaxing and peaceful setting. The breakfast was delicious and portions were more than adequate. We really enjoyed our stay and the walk down the road. Thanks for a nice get away!

A relaxing getaway in beautiful country. Our room faced out over the barn/silo in which I sat on our balcony sipping an early morning cup of joe listening to the faint rooster calls. Breakfast was to die for... amazing recipes. Afternoon cookies, cheese, crackers, wine was a nice treat to end our activities of the day. Service A++. A definite place to re-visit!

We were treated like family. Beautiful home thru out. We can't even described how much we love this place. This was our 2nd visit and we hope to go back soon. Thank you for wonderful memories.

Never having stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before, we wondered what to expect. Hillwind Inn is absolutely beautiful and we'd love to revisit it. This 160 year old former farmhouse is lovingly cared for by its owners, who welcome guests with home-made cookies every evening and delicious made-from-scratch breakfasts each morning. Lovely rooms--romantic fireplaces and comfy beds. Stunning views of Kettle Moraine. This place is fabulous!

Coming to Hillwind is like putting on a pair of comfy slippers -- instant relaxation! Beautiful setting, gorgeous decor, excellent hosts, and delicious food. Love the snacks & wine at night -- especially the cookies!

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here. The location was perfect--near so much to do and to see, but very secluded and relaxing. Our room exceeded our expectations! It was cozy and very private. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Of course, the breakfasts were great!

We originally visited Hillwind Farm on the weekend I asked my wife to marry me. I rented a plane at the Sheboygan Airport and popped the question about 5,000 ft. above Lake Michigan. We have returned every year since. Each year they never fail to impress us and make our stay as happy as the first time. We love it there. Jeff and Angie Schmitz
5 en septiembre 06, 2008
With a wide selection of B&B's in the area, Hillwind Farm was an excellent choice. The rooms were clean and inviting and the Innkeeper was friendly and knowledgeable. As our first stay in a B&B of any kind, it was an extremely enjoyable experience and I will definitely return; as well, I would recommend Hillwind to anyone.

Comments: I purchased my Pro in late 1992 and used it vigorously for several months. After many years of being idle, I've cleaned it up and use it 5-6 mornings a week for 20 minutes. I am absolutely happy, impressed and satisfied with this machine. For the money and the workout you can get in such a short time, I don't see where you could go wrong. No need to leave home and go to the gym; it's all right here.
A classic in the home fitness world, the Classic Pro Skier is still a fan favorite for its effectiveness. Smooth, natural motion of Nordic skiing offers exercise without injury or discomfort, while adjustable resistance and elevation let you easily adjust the intensity of your workout. Independent resistance controls for the arms and legs give you training variety. The LED feedback window tracks time, distance calories burned and pulse.

One person was killed and three others injured in a house explosion on Eldersville Road in the Hooverson Heights area early Friday morning.
Family friend C.J. Grishkevich confirms for 7 News the person killed was 13-year-old Hannah Mozingo.
According to Brooke County 911 dispatch, the explosion happened at 2481 Eldersville Road. Two people were transported by Weirton ambulance to Trinity West, while one person was flown by medical helicopter to a Pittsburgh hospital. No word has been received on their conditions.
Some say that the explosion could be heard and felt for miles. People from Mingo Junction, to Marland Heights and Short Creek reported feeling the blast. One neighbor's home reportedly had the windows and front door blown off from the force of the explosion. The home was also said to have been knocked off its foundation. No one was in the neighboring home at the time of the blast.
The cause of the blast remains under investigation, however at a press conference Friday authorities suggested the incident was due to natural gas.
Donations can be directed to C.J. Grishkevich, a close friend of one of the victims. He can be reached at 304-374-0634, or at 2411 Eldersville Road, Follansbee, WV, 26037.

Dow, S&P Finish Near Flat, Nasdaq Slides
The Dow and S&P closed near the flat line Wednesday after toggling between small gains and losses for most of the afternoon in light volume trading. The Nasdaq fell, however, as tech stocks dragged on the market.
Stocks started the session off higher by 1 percent, helped by a handful of positive retail earnings and as investors shrugged off signs of growing inflationary pressures .
The Dow Jones Industrial Average squeezed out a gain of 4.28 points to finish at 11,410.21 after flirting with the flat line for most of the afternoon. The blue-chip index gained 124 points in its intraday high and lost 84 during session lows.
Among the Dow stocks, Verizon and AmEx gained, while Hewlett-Packard and Caterpillar lagged.
The S&P 500 eked out a gain of 1.12 points to close at 1,193.88. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 11.97 points, or 0.47 percent, to end at 2,511.48.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended below 32.
Despite the day's anemic movement, all three major indexes are poised for their best week in almost a month.
"There's no news today," said Brian Battle, vice president of trading at Performance Trust Capital Partners. "It's been a headline driven market and has been for months. There are no headlines today, so we're enjoying a nice day in the summer doldrums."
"You've got exhaustion on both sides. The sellers sold where they wanted to sell, but the buyers are tired and there's a lack of conviction," Warren Meyers, trader at DME Securities told CNBC.
"Money is coming out of treasurys a little bit, but it's hard to pick an area—financials were up a little bit, but they have a long ways to go off their bottom and the fact that they haven't recovery much is a negative sign to me," Meyers continued. "That shows there's still a fair amount of risk in this market."
(Watch the Video: Global Recession —Begins & Ends With U.S.?)
The banking sector has alternated between gains and losses every day since last Monday. Despite being higher for the day, the sector is still down over 15 percent for the year. Many analysts say cautious investors have been driving financials lower based on negative headlines, rather than fundamentals. JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and BofA climbed.
Energy jumped, helped by higher oil prices, even after a government report showed crude stocks gained sharply last week against expectations for a decline. U.S. light, sweet crude climbed above $88 a barrel, while London Brent crude traded above $111. Oil giants ExxonMobil and Chevron all advanced.
Meanwhile, Dell plunged more than 10 percent to lead the S&P 500 sector lower after the tech giant reported disappointing topline growthand slashed its revenue forecast for the year. Analysts were mixed on the stock—BofA Merrill raised its price target on the firm to $18.50 from $18, while RBC cut its price target to $17 from $20.
Rival Hewlett-Packard is scheduled to post earnings after-the-bell Thursday.
Semiconductor companies such as Intel and Micron Tech also traded lower.
Among other earnings, Target gained after the big-box retailer reported a better-than-expected profit, as sales perked up toward the end of the quarter. Rival Costco also gained.
Abercrombie and Fitch declined sharply after the teen clothing retailer beat profit expectations, but warned of troubles as it enters "a period of greater uncertainty." Staples edged higher after the office supply chain also beat earnings expectations, helped by their international business. Oppenheimer raised its price target on Staples to $16 from $15.
And Deere slipped even after the farm equipment maker posted a higher-than-expected profit and raised its full-year earnings forecast.
On the IPO front, shares of Chinese online video firm Tudou plunged over 10 percent in their stock market debut.
Volume was light with the consolidated tape of the NYSE at 3.70 billion shares, while 972 million shares changed hands on the floor.
On the economic front, the producer price index rose 0.4 percent in July, according to the Labor Department, its biggest increase since January. Economists had expected a gain of 0.2 percent, according to a Reuters poll.
Investors will be closely watching for Thursday's consumer price index . Economists expect overall prices to see a monthly gain of 0.3 percent in July.
Weekly mortgage applications gained last weekas interest rates continued to decline, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Gold prices settled above $1,793 an ounce as fears over the euro zone lingered.
European stocks recovered from earlier losses to close at their highest level in more than a week.
On Tuesday, France's Nicholas Sarkozy and Germany's Angela Merkel agreed to float proposals for a tax on financial transactions and as both leaders indicated that the size of the EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility) is sufficient. The two leaders also ruled out issuing Euro bonds to fix the debt crisis.

A bungalow-style house that also includes a loft. Also: bunga-loft.
Example Citations:
This year, his firm will complete 100 projects and Brown anticipates that number will grow to 500 projects per year in about five years' time. Most of these will be redevelopments of postwar bungalows into what Brown calls "bunga-lofts" houses bought for about $180,000 by young professionals and modernized by Housebrand with clear sight lines to the backyard and custom millwork at a cost that competes with IKEA.

Their fans are legion among them the residents who snapped up three phases of condominium apartments in the prestigious Ancaster Gardens, located in the Meadowlands. As good as that project was with 50 per cent of the suites sold before the grand opening model was finished it still doesn't prepare you for The Residences of Harrington, a collection of bungalows with lofts that have "award-winning design" written all over them.
Of course, we have to admit that the team of Joanna Cutaia-Beales and architect Fernando Fabiani, would give any floor plan a distinct advantage. Judging from the exterior alone, the inspiration of the partnership has exceeded even their lofty goals. These "bungalofts" as they are called, are as charming as any you will find in southern Ontario, and perhaps across the continent.
Sherry Sleightholm, "Bungalofts are among the most charming you can find," The Hamilton Spectator, January 27, 2001

The Lanes development consists of fully-detached bungalows and bungalows with lofts known as bungalofts.
