Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Sandra Oh
- early 1990s
'Best Actor Possible'
After years of training as a ballerina, Oh leaves home to study at Montreal's National Theatre School of Canada. "I was called 'The Quota Child,'" she tells the Los Angeles Times of being only one of a few Asian actors at the program. "I just didn't let it get to me...I decided very early that I was going to be an actor. Period. The best actor possible." That year, she beats more than 1,000 hopefuls to star in the CBC TV drama The Diary of Evelyn Lau, which earns her the Best Actress Award at Cannes' television festival.
- 1994
A Genie-Winning Turn
Oh stars in Double Happiness, Mina Shum's portrait of a young Chinese-Canadian woman who struggles to live a modern life without upsetting her traditional immigrant parents. Variety singles out Oh in its review: "The film's highlight is Oh's mesmerizing performance. She's a stunning discovery." The 23-year-old wins a Genie (the Canadian equivalent of an Academy Award) for Best Actress and moves to L.A.
- 1996
After years performing onstage (from David Mamet's Oleanna to Bill Harrar's Inquest), Oh is cast as a series regular on the HBO comedy Arli$$. She plays Rita, a tough, ambitious executive assistant to sports agent Arliss Michaels (costar Robert Wuhl). "I wanted somebody who was sassy and funny and who could turn on a dime," Wuhl tells the AP. For her performance, she wins a CableACE Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series in 1997.
- 1998
Another Genie
After returning to the stage in the Off-Broadway play Stop Kiss, Oh stars in Don McKellar's end of the world feature Last Night about a woman who enters into a suicide pact with a stranger on their last night on Earth. "I already had her in the back of my mind when I was writing the script," McKellar tells the Orange County Register. "I have been impressed with Sandra for a long time...She can show emotion without seeming vulnerable, and that is an interesting combination you don't find in many actresses. There really was no other person for this role." Oh earns her second Best Actress Genie for Last Night.
- 2000
Oh & Payne
Oh begins dating About Schmidt writer/director Alexander Payne. Oh tells the New York Times that it took eight months of chasing for Payne to get a date with her because she was "B-U-S-Y, in all capitals! I want it in the [expletive] record that Alexander Payne chased Sandra Oh for eight months and she would not go out with him because she was 'busy.'" They get married in January 2003.
- 2003
Kate Walsh's Girl
Oh costars in the romantic feature Under the Tuscan Sun as Diane Lane's best friend and Kate Walsh's pregnant lover. "I didn't even consider another actress," writer/director Audrey Wells tells the L.A. Times. "She has a very authentic sense of humor and a way of handling comedy that's all hers. She has gravity and levity in equal proportions, and she can turn on a dime, going from laughter to tears in a moment."
- 2005
'Sideways' Praise
Oh plays a sexy, wine-loving biker chick/single mom opposite Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church in her husband's Oscar-winning comedy Sideways. "[Alexander Payne] just thought the part of Stephanie was right for me," Oh tells the New York Times, "and it's not necessarily the kind of part people would think of me for." After the film is widely praised by critics, Oh and Payne separate and eventually divorce in 2006.
Oh Returns to TV
Oh plays surgical intern Cristina Yang on ABC's new medical drama Grey's Anatomy with Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl (left). "I get to play a woman who is extremely ambitious and unapologetic and driven, and sometimes not very sympathetic," Oh tells the AP. "So you weigh the opportunity to actually do good work." She wins a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in 2006, a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor, and consecutive Emmy nods.
- 2007
Sandra's New Men
Oh begins dating Andrew Featherston, a percussionist in the indie band The Hereafter. Just as she keeps mum on her real-life love, she also refuses to comment on the looming controversy over her onscreen love, Grey's cast mate Isaiah Washington, who called costar T.R. Knight a "faggot." Despite the on-set tension, the cast wins a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series before Washington leaves Grey's.
Being the Cover Girl
Oh lands her first major magazine cover for Marie Claire, but still keeps her lips sealed on her personal life. "I don't listen to this stuff. I don't see it," she tells the magazine, referring to tabloid gossip. "I tell my people I don't want to know about it, because while rationally you might know it's ridiculous, it can hurt your feelings. It can knock me off from being my authentic self."

LISBON — Police were called to the South Market Street bridge at 1 p.m....
Homeless? A female friend and a father. But yet he's homeless. So how did he buy the beer? How did he get to the bridge? How did he afford and have internet service and a facebook account? How did he afford the valid drivers license?

This year's Low Country Hoedown was a huge success with more than 1,500 attendees. Seven Handle Circus and The Barefoot Movement rocked the downtown bus shed while guests enjoyed food and drink from all around, or as they put it, "west of the Mississippi and below the Mason-Dixon line."
Several restaurants and catering companies brought truckloads of delicious "hoedown" fare while over a dozen distilleries kept patrons hydrated. Striped Pig Distillery, Charleston's first micro-distillery, was awarded "Best Cocktail."
Striped Pig Distillery truly is the "spirit" of Charleston. All of their products are 100 percent locally made and bottled at onsite in Charleston. Their raw materials are grown as close to home as possible, with corn from Myer's Farm in Bowman and molasses from Savannah.
Despite having only been in operation for a few months, Striped Pig Distillery beat several nationally-acclaimed distilleries as well as those who have been in business for hundreds of years. They even topped last year's winner, Palmetto Moonshine, as well as other local distilleries like Dark Corner Distilling. Could it be the local ingredients and slow, handcrafted process used to make the spirits that set the brand apart? Distiller Todd Weiss thinks so.
"We put a lot of time and energy into making our spirits. We don't cut any corners. We are committed to serving a locally made product that's made the old-fashioned way, and I think that's what gives our spirits that extra flavor which makes such a great cocktail," Weiss said of the big win.
Striped Pig Distillery served their Striped Rum and 120 proof Striped 'Shine. The rum was mixed with locally made Jack Rudy Grenadine and Newtonian Beverage Company Bitters to make Charleston Striped Rum Punch. The 'Shine was used to make the Striped 'Shine Ginger and Lemongrass cocktail. All of the ingredients used to make the cocktails were locally sourced.
"Even the lemongrass was grown out back behind the distillery. We are fortunate to have a partnership with our friends at Icebox Bar Services and they have an incredible knowledge of mixology. They seem to really enjoy working with our spirits because of the unique and organic flavor profiles," President, Casey Lillie said.
All of Striped Pig's products are gluten-free and on sale in several liquor stores in South Carolina as well as being served in many bars and restaurants. If your local liquor store does not carry Striped Pig, tell them that their distributor is Ben Arnold Beverage Company.
Striped Pig Distillery is open for free tours and tastings, Wednesday through Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Tours begin at the top of every hour. You may also schedule your own tour at anytime during business hours, Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday noon to 5 p.m. on their website, www.stripedpigdistillery.com.

Baseball Defeats Indiana Wesleyan in Midweek Game
Ball State's baseball team defeated Indiana Wesleyan 11-4 in a midweek game at Ball Diamond Wednesday afternoon to improve to 17-8 on the season.
The Cardinals return to Mid-American Conference action with a three-game series vs. Buffalo Friday through Sunday. The teams will face off at Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y., due to weather and field conditions in Buffalo.
In Wednesday's game, Jacob Brewer improved to 2-0 after being credited with the pitching win. In a game where the Cardinals had pre-determined the use of multiple pitchers, Brewer was the pitcher of record after pitching one inning and allowing only one hit, while striking out one.
Clay Manering started the game for the Cardinals on the mound in a game where Ball State used eight pitchers.
Ryan Spaulding and Sam Tidaback led the Cardinals with two hits apiece, while Alex Maloney was 1-for-5 from the plate with three runs-batted-in on his first career home run -- a three-run shot in the third inning. Spaulding managed two RBI and scored one run, while Tidaback tallied one RBI and scored once.
After falling behind 3-0 to the Wildcats in the second inning, Ball State responded with a six-run third inning to take the lead and never looked back. The Cardinals added five more runs in the contest, while allowing Indiana Wesleyan only one more run in the fifth frame.
Maloney's HR propelled Ball State's third-inning, six-run rally and his shot over the left field wall scored Sean Kennedy, who doubled, and Caleb Stayton, who reached first after being hit by a pitch.
Stayton was 1-for-3 on the day with two RBI, while Alex Call, Sean Godfrey and Kennedy each tallied an RBI in the game.

Back a few posts, Raisor posted that Larry Bond was co-author of Red Storm Rising. I did not know that and found it very interesting.
Also back in the newsgroup days (mid to late 90's), Clancy used to interact with his readers over at alt.fan.tom-clancy and alt.books.tom-clancy as firstname.lastname@example.com. He'd make some interesting comments there and get cranky a lot.

I once read "Ultimate Jest" which was just a complete grind the entire time with zero reward at the end. It had paragraphs that would run on for pages at a time, things never came together, I just gritted my teeth and finished the 800+ pages because I had already started long after I realized I would never be happy. It got a lot of praise; I'll never understand why.
Just started OnceThey Moved Like the Wind, the story of Cochese, Geronimo, etc. Very good so far. Doesn't romanticize its subject. Geronimo comes across as much more aggressive than I remember him bring when I was him play.
Will start to read Lord of the Flies.

Black by Ted Dekker - Awful
The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss. If you like any hint of the fantasy genre (I usually do not) I highly encourage to read this one. I can't put it down.

I just received 11/22/63 by Stephen King for Christmas. I have read two pages and so far it is great!

got for christmas and am currently reading joan didion's "blue nights"..about the death of her daughter, something no parent should ever go through..i think i like it better than her wonderful "a year of magical thinking" about the death of her husband, the author, john gregory dunne..."blue nights" is also about the fear of aging, which looms...
then i'll go back to "war and peace" yep, i will finish it.
teach tolerance.
I didn't want to read it too fast because I was enjoying it too much. So I'd force myself to put it down for a while because my instinct was to plow through it. King has matured as a writer and this one was his best. An SF time travel tale with a love story as its soul and an unexpectedly satisfying ending.

The X Factor judge, who's expecting his first child with girlfriend Lauren Silverman, recently saw a scan of his baby and says, "It is just surreal."
"You literally see this thing which is now alive moving around," he says in an interview with The Times of London newspaper. "I feel very paternal right now. So I am very happy."
Cowell, 53, previously said he wasn't interested in having kids, but now admits that he's looking forward to fatherhood – and insists he won't lose his hard edge, saying, "I can assure you: I won't go soft." He looked quite comfortable showing off a onesie with his photo on it that he received while promoting I Can't Sing – The X Factor Musical in London Monday.

Bought for my niece for Christmas, and put some money in it for her!! Great way to give money rather than just in a card.
Could do with it being a little bigger if it is to fit a UK 20 pound note. Took quite a few attempts to fit it in. Fine for a 5 note, bit of a squeeze but easier for a 10. Good to know it is there just in case but hoping I won't need to use it because then I would have to go through that again.
Brought to give to my daughter at uni so she always has some cash in case of emergencies! An excellent idea and groovy colour.
I got one of these for Xmas last year, and it continues to be a loyal friend (providing I keep topping it up). It's great for those occasions when you just grab your keys thinking that you won't need any cash, only to find you need fuel (or a chocolate fix). I've got the pink one, and it looks great on my keys. Great present/stocking filler.
Pink Cash Stash was exactly what I expected, very pleased!
Beautifully engineered little sealed cylinder, light enough for a keyring, will be ideal for purpose
Excellent idea for carrying spare cash on you if you don't have your purse.
The Pink Cash Stash is great looking and very compact. This is an excellent addition to my keyring collection.
I bought this for a Christmas gift as it is a great idea. I will be ordering more for other members of my family.
I bought several of these Pink Cash Stash products. They're cool for geocaching and many other things. It has a perfect seal and feels well made.
You really can't leave home without one of these on your keyring. The Pink Cash Stash saves a red face at the checkout when you realise you have forgotten your purse.
I ordered 2 Pink Cash Stashes for my puppy as she likes to run about when she's off the leash. Even though she's chipped and has a tag on, we decided to get a couple of these Stashes to put on her collar, and they work. They're well made and take a small sheet of paper with our details on quite happily. Haven't tested how waterproof they are but I've smeared silicon around the o-ring to enhance that option. The only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is that the split ring could be a little sturdier, it seems a bit flimsy. Overall very happy.
This Pink Cash Stash does what it says on the tin but I had to try a few times to get the £20 note in. It's not that easy to access.
I received the Cash Stash as a gift, it's great for storing an emergency £20 note! I never leave home without it! Thanks guys!
Great little gadget, handy gift for a teenager who possibly might lose her bus fare and be stranded at school.
This Pink Cash Stash is the best thing for cash. I have not put it on my keys because then could lose your keys as well as your whallet. I use an alternative method and put it around my neck. When it's on one of your chains you can never lose it.
I originally bought the silver one for my husband, have now bought this lovely pink one for myself and another for a present. Brilliant idea, lovely colour for the ladies and very secure. Fab idea for emergency cash.
This Pink Cash Stash is ideal for me as I've been caught without cash in the past. It looks like it's protected from all my keychains and though a touch fiddly due to its small size, it's perfect and does the job! Hopefully I will not have to use it but it's a great backup!
This Pink Cash Stash is brilliant for the children to keep with them when out and about. It's also great for school if they lose or run out of money.
I love this Pink Cash Stash. I really like quirky stuff, showed my silver on to my sister who asked can I get one for her as a present. Always recommend the site to all my friends. Big thanks IWOOT, I'm a fan.
Not long ago I ended up stuck in a hospital car park with no cash to get out. My husband had promised that I didn't need cash to use that car park, he'd been there before and the machines took a card. This was a lie and with the skies going dark and the nearest cash machine out of order I swore I would never trust a man to know anything, and I would never end up with no cash again! My husband bought me the Pink Cash Stash that night. Now I have cash with my house keys and my husband survived a beating by buying me something pink, shiny and useful.
Received mine yesterday and I am very impressed! Nice and discreet on your keyring (especially the silver one which doesn't attract as much attention as the pink one) Good build quality, seems secure so I'm not in fear of loosing it at any time, even 007 would be keen to have one of these! Yes the note is a bit fiddly to squeeze in and you have to fold it tightly, but I tend to just keep a tenner in mine instead of a twenty, so its a bit easier.
What a cool way to keep your bill nice and safe! The Cash Stash is really pretty, and you can put your money in it, so it's absolutely the perfect spot!
This Pink Cash Stash is a funky colour, good idea, with great implementation. To sum up my thoughts on this "undercover-esque" cash stash is great for anyone who's paranoid. However, one slight downfall was that it is a bit on the small side.
The Pink Cash Stash is a great place to store your money. If no one knows you have any they can't ask you for a loan!
The Pink Cash Stash is very useful for when I go out and don't want to have to carry my purse with me. It's just hooked onto my keys or inside my bag. My bag weighs a lot less now!
I bought this Pink Cash Stash for a friend at christmas. They really liked it and the size of the cash stash is perfect for most types of notes. Most notes will definitely fit inside it! Also, it keeps the money dry, unlike some purses that are made from porous material. So her money stays all dry and safe and ready for her to spend it! Nice one IWOOT!

Gregory Ng is the CMO of Brooks Bell, an optimization firm focused on enterprise-level A/B split testing, targeting and optimization services. But at night he opens the freezer, cranks up the microwave and transforms into the Frozen Food Master. Greg has been reviewing frozen food on Freezerburns since 2008. In that time he has learned quite a bit about YouTube. Combining that with his understanding of B2B marketing and optimization, he shared his insights for B2B companies in the interview below.
Most of the biggest YouTube channels are run by individuals, not corporate brands. It seems that the promise of "anyone can be a publisher" really has taken hold on this platform. Does this make YouTube different from other social platforms?
I believe that most of the big YouTube channels are run by individuals because they don't have the politics or red tape to publish like corporations have. YouTubers like honest messaging. They like genuine interaction and raw emotion. They tend to dislike brand marketing messages and paid endorsement material. If you want to create a beautiful brand anthem spot, definitely publish it on YouTube. But don't expect the same type of engagement you would get by publishing on video sites like Vimeo that celebrate the art of video and have a community that appreciates video as an art form. The promise of "anyone can be a publisher" really took off when Blogger made a free blog platform. But while this allowed people to publish thoughts, the written word did not have the cache and sexiness of making you feel like a TV or movie star. YouTube provided a free way for people to publish a movie or a music video or a video diary for all to see. It is the promise of celebrity that inspires people to push out content on this platform.
Corporate brands could totally leverage the audience of this platform but typically they approach it in one of two ways, which are both ineffectual to this audience:
1. The Brand Advertising Method: They post every one of their commercials on YouTube and hope they go viral. While consumers expect to find those ad campaigns online, they do not engage with the channel, but they engage with the specific video. That's why you will see well-known brands have videos with millions of views but only thousands of subscribers. This is not leveraging the platform correctly.
2. The "No Value to Anyone But the Sales Team" Method: They post product demos and video brochures. Again, this does not welcome community engagement and it is nether entertaining nor is it useful content.
So the reason why the biggest YouTube channels are run by individuals is because those individuals interact with their audience and their content is engaging.
You have built an audience on YouTube by focusing on one niche and consistently publishing videos. Would the same strategy work for a B2B company? Is there a business audience there?
No question YouTube has an audience large enough for whatever business you are in! In fact, YouTube has a big enough audience to support every single niche you can think of! If you are passionate about something (no matter how specific) there is bound to be a couple hundred thousand people in this world that are equally passionate. Consistently publishing videos in that niche is how those hundred thousand people find you. But growing audiences and creating awareness does not come from owning a niche and publishing consistently. Staying true to your niche simply helps you own the category so competitors can't jump in. Consistently publishing simply keeps your content relevant and current.
The real key to building an audience is to provide value to your viewer. For me, this means reviewing food so customers are informed before buying something. This works for me because I do not own or work for any of the products that I review. For B2B it is a bit trickier. YouTubers do not like to be sold to. So the way to reach an audience is to provide value. For example, if you sell marketing automation software you won't have much of an audience for tons of videos talking about the features of your product. But there is a huge audience for a web series highlighting success stories from your customers using your software. Jay Baer's book, YOUtility covers this idea at great length and it is worth a read when creating your YouTube presence.
How can B2B marketers use video to support their overall content marketing efforts?
Uploading video content on YouTube can have multiple benefits towards your content marketing efforts. Video can capture a moment like no other medium can. You can use video to capture customer testimonials that mean a whole lot more than just a quote written in text. You can document an event or interview a team member. You can produce video demos or explain an FAQ using video. In all of these examples you can give a prospect, a customer, and investor a better idea of what your company is all about and instill more trust and confidence in the messages you are producing.
From a tactical standpoint uploading a video to YouTube means you can cultivate a new audience on the YouTube platform as well as embed the content on your website, blog and other social networks.
Does a YouTube channel let B2B companies tell their stories in a different way, or does it let them reach a whole new audience segment?
YouTube definitely allows B2B marketers to communicate a message in a more personal way. Instead of a message coming from a press release, it could be the same message delivered by the CMO. Have an endorsement from a partner vendor? Instead of dropping in a text testimonial, how about having their CEO put it on camera? There is potential for a whole new audience segment in YouTube, but it requires focus and commitment to realize that potential. There are 24 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute! The only way to stand out is to put in as much as you expect to receive from the platform. Like Twitter, it requires engagement and community management in addition to quality focused content.
What are the analytics you focus on for your YouTube channel, and would B2B marketers focus on the same ones?
Fortunately YouTube has been making great strides in the analytics they provide (for free) for YouTube channels. My primary metric is engagement per video. This means out of the total number of people that see the video, how long into the video do they watch until they bounce. Also, do they Like, Comment, add to playlist, or subscribe as a result of that video. My secondary metric is the time of day that my video is watched. This is important to me because I have an international audience and it helps me strategize when in the day to publish my videos. This also helps when I schedule live video events and decide on the start and end times of contests and promotions.
My advice to B2B marketers is to think about what your primary goal is for your YouTube channel and then report on the metrics that influence that goal. Like Google Analytics you can gain insight into different metrics through your YouTube Analytics dashboard. But just because you can measure it, doesn't mean it matters to you. And just because it is important to one channel doesn't mean it matters to others.
It can be overwhelming to sit down in front of a camera and start talking. What are some tips you can provide for getting started with video content?
For some people, putting yourself on camera is easy. For others it is the most terrifying thing imaginable. But video content doesn't have to just be someone talking into a camera! You can be very successful using voiceover over a product demo. Or you can get even more creative (and still be professional if used correctly) using animation, whiteboard drawings, and even puppets. The key is to find a method that is on brand, cost-effective to execute and something you believe in enough to commit to!
And can you really shoot good quality video with a smartphone, provided you turn it horizontally and you stabilize it by setting it down on a table?
Five years ago I wouldn't have been able to say this, but yes, you can shoot perfectly fine, professional quality video with your phone. In fact, full movies have been shot using just an iPhone camera! The key is to use a tripod or a steady cam rig, and make sure your sound is great. People would much rather tolerate a low definition video if the sound is clear and the video isn't shaky.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Penn State renamed this place Blowout City.
Bill O'Brien can downplay the national coach of the year talk all he wants, but if the Nittany Lions keep playing like they did Saturday night, he could be a shoo-in.
The Lions sent a statement to the rest of the Big Ten with a 38-14 dismantling of Iowa at Kinnick Stadium, a place they hadn't won since 1999. Penn State built a 38-0 lead and cruised to its fifth straight victory.
On a day Ohio State, Nebraska and Michigan all struggled and looked mediocre in close wins, PSU (5-2, 3-0 Big Ten) dominated and staked its claim as perhaps the best team in the league.
Not definitively, but at least arguably.
The No. 7 Buckeyes visit Beaver Stadium next week, so the debate can be settled on the field then. And Ohio State should be at full strength as standout quarterback Braxton Miller appeared to be OK late Saturday after suffering a head injury and departing the game against Purdue.
"These guys are a resilient bunch of guys," O'Brien said of his team, which was basically left for dead after two weeks with losses to Ohio and Virginia.
As if people hadn't already noticed, Saturday hammered home the points that O'Brien has complete faith in his offense, that quarterback Matt McGloin has complete control of the offense and that defenses are completely mystified about how to stop the Lions' NASCAR no-huddle attack.
"Through seven games, you can't say enough about Matt McGloin," O'Brien said of his quarterback, who completed 26-of-38 passes for 289 yards and two TDs.
As good as they were, McGloin felt the Lions could have been even better.
"We started off very well, but we left a lot of points out there again," he said. "We should have put up a lot more points. We've got to learn to finish the game and shut them out there at the end."
Running back Bill Belton also had a big night, finally looking healthy after battling an ankle injury and posting his first career 100-yard game. Belton carried 16 times for 103 yards and three TDs.
McGloin let loose one of the better throws of his career to get PSU on the board first, then he got some help from tight end Kyle Carter on the next drive as the Lions quickly jumped out to a 14-0 lead.
At the Iowa 31, McGloin avoided pressure, rolled to his right, set his feet and delivered a dart to Jesse James at the 3-yard line. The tight end busted his way into the end zone with 7:24 left in the quarter.
The Lions had gone three-and-out on their first series, then went to the NASCAR package on the second one and moved 84 yards in nine plays for the TD.
"It's because we're in such good shape, thanks to Coach Fitzgerald and the rest of his staff," McGloin said of PSU's success with the no-huddle offense. "We're in a lot better shape than other teams, and it's hard for them to keep up with us."
Iowa's Mike Meyer missed a 49-yard field goal on the next series -- ending his streak of 13 consecutive makes -- and Penn State again drove right down the field for a score.
On fourth-and-3 from the Iowa 45, McGloin lofted what turned into a jump ball between Carter and Hawkeye cornerback Micah Hyde. The 6-foot-3, 247-pound Carter made an acrobatic catch and rumbled for 34 yards to the 11.
"That's a great play. That kid's a great talent," McGloin said of Carter. "A bit of miscommunication, but we'll get on the same page next time. Kyle made a great play."
Big fourth-down conversions are nothing new to the Lion offense, and they had a big one thanks to Carter's concentration. Penn State is now 14-of-23 on fourth downs this season, and although that was the only one of three they converted Saturday, it turned out to be a big turning point.
"It's upsetting when we don't go for it," McGloin said of O'Brien's aggressiveness. "It's exciting football."
The exciting offensive performance continued, and Penn State's defense shut down a Hawkeye offense that doesn't have much firepower. Running back Mark Weisman (ankle injury) did play but was held to 9 yards on five carries, and quarterback James Vandenberg struggled all night, completing 17-of-36 for 189 yards with two interceptions.
A field goal by Sam Ficken and 11-yard TD run by Belton gave the Lions a 24-0 lead at the half. They needed only 27 seconds to score in the second half as Jesse Della Valle returned the kickoff 46 yards, McGloin hit Brandon Moseby-Felder for 42 yards to the 3 and Belton took it in on the next play.
The rout was on, and the lead reached 38-0 when Belton scored from 5 yards out with 14:25 to play. Iowa's Jordan Cotton broke up the shutout bid by returning the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a TD, and the Hawkeyes later added a score against mostly backup defenders.
"When you play football at Penn State, you have a lot to play for," O'Brien said. "I believe that you have fans to play for, you have tradition to play for, you have a student body to play for, you have each other to play for.
"I believe that these kids have really good chemistry. Football is a sport that you have to show up ready to play every single day, every single week. If you don't, you're going to be in trouble."
Most people thought this Penn State team was in big trouble after its slow start, but after Saturday's performance, those two early losses seem like a lifetime ago.
Now comes a big test against Ohio State to see who really is the best team in the Big Ten.
"We have a really difficult challenge coming up against one of the best teams in the country," O'Brien said.
Penn State 7, Iowa 0: The Lions went three-and-out on their first series, then went to their NASCAR no-huddle package on their second possession and marched 84 yards in nine plays for a TD. Bill Belton broke loose for a 23-yard run to the Iowa 43. Four plays later, Matt McGloin avoided pressure, scrambled to his right, got his feet planted and fired a bullet to tight end Jesse James, who caught it at the 3 and rumbled into the end zone with 7:24 left in the quarter.
Penn State 14, Iowa 0: Bill O'Brien made a gutsy call going for it on fourth-and-3 at the Iowa 45, and Kyle Carter came up with a tremendous catch to keep the drive alive. Carter won a jump-ball situation with cornerback Micah Hyde and turned it into a 34-yard gain to the Hawkeye 11. McGloin connected with Allen Robinson on an 8-yard TD strike two plays later with 2:43 to go in the quarter.
Penn State 17, Iowa 0: Iowa's Mike Meyer had made 13 straight field goals but missed his second of the game, from 37 yards. Penn State took over at its 20, and McGloin immediately hit Jesse James for 16 yards. McGloin also had two big passes to Carter (12 and 11 yards), and Belton broke free for 16 yards on a draw to the Iowa 24. The drive stalled at the 17, and instead of going for it on fourth-and-3, O'Brien called on Sam Ficken, who booted a 34-yard field goal with 7:19 left in the half.
Penn State 24, Iowa 0: Hawkeyes quarterback James Vandenberg simply dropped the ball scrambling deep in his own end, and DaQuan Jones recovered for PSU at the Iowa 14. Belton scored from 11 yards out two plays later with 5:53 to go in the half.
Penn State 31, Iowa 0: The Lions wasted no time piling on in the third quarter, scoring a TD in just 27 seconds. Jesse Della Valle returned the kickoff 46 yards to the Iowa 45, and on the first play, McGloin fired a 42-yard strike to Brandon Moseby-Felder down to the 3. Belton scored on the next play with 14:33 left in the third.
Penn State 38, Iowa 0: Belton capped a 14-play, 97-yard drive with a 5-yard TD run with 14:25 to play. It was Belton's third TD of the night, and he topped 100 yards for the first time in his career.
Penn State 38, Iowa 7: The Hawkeyes avoided the shutout as Jordan Cotton took the ensuing kickoff, ran right up the middle of the field and raced 92 yards for a touchdown with 14:14 to go.
Penn State 38, Iowa 14: Vandenberg found Keenan Davis on an 18-yard TD pass against a lot of backup PSU defenders with 4:41 left.

Qard Hasan, Wadiah/Amanah and Bank Deposits: Applications and Misapplications of Some Concepts in Islamic Banking
Mohammad Omar Farooq
Arab Law Quarterly, Vol. 25, No. 2, 2011
The prohibition of riba is categorical in the Qur'an. Based on that prohibition, which is presumably further reinforced by hadith, loan or qard is considered ribawi, meaning that only gratuitous monetary loans are considered permissible in Islam. Modern Islamic banking is based on treating qard as ribawi. To avoid the presumed prohibition of profiting from monetary loans, deposits (particularly, demand deposits) are often structured as qard hasan, or wadiah/amanah (trust).
Based on pertinent material from the Qur'an and hadith as well as earliest Islamic discourse, this paper critically examines the presumed notion that (a) qard is ribawi and (b) whether the application of the concept of qard hasan or wadiah/amanah is coherent in the context of modern Islamic banking/finance.
The paper attempts to demonstrate that there is a great deal of confusion, misinterpretation and misunderstanding about qard and qard hasan, especially as applied to the modern Islamic banking practices. It also provides the context and framework in which such misinterpretation and misapplication occur.

RAISING THE CURVE: A Year Inside One of America's 45,000 Failing Public Schools. By Ron Berler. Berkeley. 256 pages. $27.50.
Ron Berler spent one year in Brookside Elementary School in Norwalk, Conn. The school's students are 20 percent white, 15 percent African-American and 65 percent Hispanic. Three in five students qualify for free or reduced school lunches. Brookside Elementary is failing despite the determination of students, teachers and staff to pull together and battle the odds.
The students' below-average test scores are only part of the problem. Budget cuts, outdated and broken computer equipment, teacher shortages and a lack of specialists also have contributed to the school's decline.
Berler discusses the historical and systemic problems, such as the hiring of substandard teachers, the challenges of the post-World War II education boom and desegregation that resulted in the busing of minorities to schools outside their neighborhoods.
He follows the students, administrators and teachers throughout the year, sharing their stories and noting their frustrations. He explains the problems with the federal No Child Left Behind law that creates moving targets and fails to give credit to the school when it shows some improvement.
Berler finds himself embroiled in the debate over just who is responsible for the children: parents or teachers. His compassionate book describes the hard choices Brookside must make.
Despite the tireless efforts of the entire school, it continues to struggle. In his portrait of a school, one of 45,000 that is failing nationally, Berler shares personal stories that put a human face on the nation's educational crisis and lifts the issue from the abstract to the concrete, showing the reader a group of people who have not stopped fighting for their children.
Reviewer Doretha Walker is an adjunct professor at the College of Charleston and assistant professor at South University.

BullS___. It's by far the best wide zoom available. I rented it for 2 weeks on a trip home to Chicago and its an absolutely superlative lens. In fact I took it as my only walkaround lens on my D700 for a full day and was stunned by the results. You Canon fanboyz love to bash on Nikkor glass but the truth is that you would all kill for a wide zoom this good.
Its a pretty specialized lens, and not for general use. It is extremely susceptable to flare, and can grab stray light where you would swear it did not exist.If you are able to take the time to wait for the right lighting conditions to avoid flare, its a super lens. If you are impatient, you might be frustrated.Using a fully manual setup pretty much requires a lot of patience, and trial / error exposure.

Tuesday, April 30, 2013
The host of Monday's First Congressional District Debate promised questions on the issues, not personalities, but that didn't stop the candidates themselves from launching personal attacks at every opportunity.
Former Gov. Mark Sanford repeatedly invoked the bogeyman of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi controlling Elizabeth Colbert Busch's vote, but Colbert Busch responded that "nobody tells me what to do."
Meanwhile, Colbert Busch threw back Sanford's claim of saving taxpayer money by retorting that he used the savings to fund personal trips overseas.
Colbert Busch said Sanford voted against deepening the port and funding the Ravenel Bridge while in Congress, but Sanford said Colbert Busch couldn't have been that upset as she later gave him a $500 campaign contribution.
"I guess it didn't bother her that much," he said.
Colbert Busch said she met with Sanford several times in connection with her job and he promised to support deepening.
"You didn't tell the truth," she said.
"In the wake of that, if it really bothered you, why would you write a campaign check?" Sanford countered.
In any event, he said, he was voting against the method of funding, not the projects themselves.
"I was against earmarks before being against earmarks was cool," he said.
In addition to personal digs, the candidates talked about their positions on jobs, immigration, health care, and same-sex marriage.
The debate was the only one of the abbreviated special election campaign. Online news outlet Patch sponsored the debate, and Shawn Drury, Patch S.C. political editor, Ashley Byrd, S.C. Radio Network news director, and Brendan Clark, WCBD-TV news anchor asked questions. The candidates were asked to begin by outlining their greatest accomplishments.
Colbert Busch recalled starting in business 27 years ago as a single mother to three children, making $6 per hour.
She knew that wasn't enough to build a better life, she said, so she went back to school and finished her education. She started work in the maritime industry, she said, starting as a clerk and working her way up to director of sales and marketing, where she was responsible for 20 percent of North American sales and revenue.
Sanford said he has a 20-year track record fighting government spending. He was part of the Congressional freshman class of 1994 that helped push for a balanced budget and the National Taxpayers Union named him No. 1 in Congress for limiting spending, he said.
During his time as governor, the state saw $24 billion in cumulative investment, he said.
Government helps create the underlying conditions that encourage investment, he said, pointing to the marginal rate tax cut, workers compensation reform and other reforms during his time as governor.
Colbert Busch also said government creates the conditions and infrastructure to help businesses, but "jobs are made by private companies and small business."
On immigration, Sanford said he wouldn't support the Sen. Lindsey Graham proposal.
Allowing a path to citizenship didn't work in the 1980s because the enforcement piece didn't follow, and now there are millions more illegal immigrants than there were then, he said.
Enforcement must come first, he said.
Colbert Busch said she supports the Chamber of Commerce position – those here need to pay taxes and fines, learn English and go to the back of the line for citizenship, she said.
But, she said, "we can't afford to send 11 million people back home."
Both candidates found problems with the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare.
Sanford said he wouldn't have voted for the bill and would vote to defund it if he returned to Congress.
The act adds $6.2 trillion to the national debt, he said, and subverts American tradition by for the first time telling Americans what to buy.
Colbert Busch said the health care act is "extremely problematic" because of the costs. Unlike Sanford, she found good points in it, such as prohibiting denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions and allowing children to stay on their parent's insurance until age 26.
On the question of same-sex marriage, Colbert Busch said she supports full equality, while Sanford said he voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, an act since disavowed by President Bill Clinton, who signed it into law.
However, Sanford said the way the issue is playing out now, on a state-by-state basis, is consistent with federalism and with states making laws for marriage.

A three-time winner of Colorado's Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, Rusch — aka, the Queen of Pain — dominated the women's field while finishing 12th overall in 4:36:46.
Heather Lyman of South Lake Tahoe was second among woman in 5:11:00, and Julie Young of Truckee rounded out the top three in 5:13:29. Genevieve Evans of Carnelian Bay was fourth in 5:17:51.
Truckee's Conrad Snover of the Marc Pro-Strava team won the singlespeed division and was eighth overall in 4:28:59.
The race, which also offered a 50-kilometer alternative, was one of six stops in the Leadville Qualifying Series. Each race provides 70 to 100 qualifying positions to the revered Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race in Colorado.
The Tahoe Trail 100 featured two 50-kilometer loops (about 60 miles total), on which athletes had to meet three cutoff times and tackle seven climbs. A total of 239 men and 21 women finished the race, while 19 completed the 50K.
Among the top men, Greg Hillson was sixth in 4:21:56 and was followed by Davis Bentley (4:24:36), Tim Knudsen (4:31:39), Gordo Byrn (4:32:25) and Nathan Brown (4:33:14).

Daniel Menally took the overall win in the 50K in a time of 2:22:41, while Kimberly Vandersyde was the top woman in 2:59:53.

Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand health information, skills, and services needed to make informed health decisions and take informed actions. Narratives from Mr J, a 76-year-old man with multiple medical problems and limited health literacy, and his physician exhibit some of the difficulties experienced by patients with limited health literacy. Clinicians can help patients with limited health literacy by removing unneeded complexity in their treatment regimens and in the health care system and by using teach-back methods to assess and improve understanding. Rather than a selective screening approach for limited health literacy, a patient-based universal precaution approach for confirming patient comprehension of critical self-care activities helps ensure that all patients have their health literacy needs identified.

They're only getting better with age.
Sandra Bullock and Jane Seymour earned the biggest positive reactions from PEOPLE.com readers this week – the former for joking about her age (among other things) and the latter for proving it really is just a number.
Madonna, meanwhile, didn't fare so well with a controversial Instagram photo.
Below are the five stories that sparked the strongest reactions from PEOPLE.com readers this week, from happy, sad, laugh out loud, and angry – to wow. To let us know what you think of what's going on in the news, click on the appropriate icon at the bottom of every story.
While accepting her award for actress of the year at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Sandra Bullock – always hilarious with her wry perspective on fame – revealed that she recently Googled herself … and instantly regretted it. One of the week's must-read stories.
Jane Seymour looked decades younger than her 62 years when she was photographed in a triangle halter bikini while on a family vacation in Hawaii.
Madonna didn't win too many new fans when she posted a photo on Instagram showing her son Rocco, 13, and his seemingly underage friends posing with bottles of gin and vodka.
The week's saddest news was that Scott Disick's father, Jeffrey Disick, had died at 63 – just three months after Scott's mother, Bonnie, passed away.
