B. B. "Jit'iiiw" Wisu cjimc to tliis city, cap- tivutcd tlic imagination of everyone with whom lie came in contact and made liosls of frien<[s for himself and for the Zionist ideal as expressed and exempli¬ fied in thc Avnkah moveinent among- thc college boys and girls of the United States. In .short—he came, he saw^ he conquered. In addressing thc, joint meeting of thc O. S. U. A\uUa1i and the local B'nai R'rilh Lodge Monday evening at thc Woodman's Home, he set forth his argmticiits in a most able manner, ex¬ pressing himRcIf convincingly, and pun- gently. His tlicme was; "The New World and thc Jewish Future." He gave a bird's eye view of the history of the Jewish'people since the medieval penod and explained how changing conditions and circumstances affected the trend of Jewish life and brought about new move¬ ments and new ideals. He <lwclt at length upon Ibrael's pcsition among the na¬ tions, its contributions to the advance¬ ment of civilization and modern culture, and then explained the great problem which confronts the Jevyish people to¬ day. He asserted that the "Jewish people • can survive as a nation, only by. rcas- scrtinK its nationalistic ideology as ex¬ pressed in thc Zionist Movement Soil of Piilestine . "There is no doubt," he continued, "that it i.t'precisely the soil of Palestine that is destined to yield a harvest of original cultural achievemeiits, the po¬ tentialities of which are. unpredictable. All these achievements, however, that amaze by their \'ariety of form are nothing but a few begimiings of new national culture parafteled by those of other nations that have been passing through a sitntlar period of national renaissance. It is a culture entirely dif¬ ferent from that of previous stages. That wliich is being created before our, eyes, whether iu the 'Land' or in the Diaspora, is the beginning of 3 .new na¬ tional civilization that has no connection with the particular idea of Judaism which was the vein of life in all the achievements of the past. When in the center of Achad Ha'a'm's conception of Zionism appears fhe problem of Juda¬ ism—in juxtaposition to the problem of Jewry—tlicr* is a confusion of two terms in this juxtaposition. What he had in mind was thc problem of continuity of the national creative process threatened by assimilation in thc Diaspora—the problem of the revival of the national civilization. But the latter is not iden¬ tical with Judaism, which is a particu¬ lar system of Weltanschauung, or philos¬ ophy of Hfe, as is Hellenism or Chris¬ tianity. And the mistake' of the master caused his disciples to regard themselves as carrying: onward the torch of Juda¬ ism, while in fact they were only doing research work in its literature and writ¬ ing its history, "Zionism/* he continued, "is not the result of needs that change with the changing hour or of casual circumstances. It is the outcome of deeply rooted, his¬ torical forces working with an irre¬ sistible urge in Jewish lifei It has out¬ lived tyrainiicb and regimes; it has over¬ come many temporary setbacks and crlt- .ical junctures. "Today, more clearly than at any other (Coniiimcd on page 7) OVER 800 PEOPLE REPRESENTING EVERY ELEMENT IN DAYTON JEWRY ATTENDED THIS AFFAIR AR¬ RANGED BY LOCAL OFFICERS IN HONOR OF BROTHER KUSWORM DAYTON—Amidst much pomp and ceremony the degree team of Zion Lodge, No. G2, I.

Dr, Avey's subject will be "The Rela¬ tion Between Jew and Christian." Every one is cordially invited to attend and hear what promises to be a most in¬ teresting talk. lofty ideals that have preserved us in¬ tact. Though we he spread over tbe four corners of the earth, it has been our unfailing horid of union. It has rescued us from degeneration and has given us unmistakable hope of a, re¬ juvenated Hfe." ,. Makes a Declaration Continuing, Dr./ Werne declared: 'Orthodox Jiidaism connotes study. In commenting upon the Biblical injunc¬ tion, 'And thou shalt teach them dili¬ gently to thy children,* the,Talmud says, the word 'children* means 'scholars.* Orthodox Judaism, as understood by R. Yochanan ben Zaldcai, has created one of the most important mcdi;^ of saying the-spirit of our nation. Orthodox Juda¬ ism knows full well, that a destroyed city will be'rebuilt, the ruined Temple can be restored, the battered ramparts may be renewed', but the spieJT of a people, if IT die, can not be revived." . The spiritiml leader, of the Agudath Achim Congregation then went.on to say that in Orthodox Judaism, "Learn¬ ing is not the prerogative of the chosen few, nor is it confined to any. one. single cla.ss or stratum of society. It is. the duty of young and old, rich and poor, alike. "The momentum of our national life," he declared, "is gauged by our attitude towards learning. Erudition . among orthodox Jews is not the metier of a learned caste, but the business of every¬ body. Each member of , an orthodox Jewish community belongs, according to his own educational attainments, to some study circle; is a member of a Chevrah- Shass, Mishnayath, En Yakov, Shulchan Aruch, Chaye Adam, and fhe like. The Beth Hamidrash is a purely orthodox institution." The fiill text of Rabbi Werne's ad¬ dress Monday. evening .will appear in a forthcoming issue of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle and will be followed by the addresses of both Rabbis Rivlin and Tarshish, , , Rabbi Riv1in*B Address The second-speaker on the program for the symposium waa Rabbi Rivlin of thc East Broad Street Temple, who expounded the principles of Coriservative Judaism. He spoke in part as follows: "Conservative Judaism is not a fifty- fifty proposition as it is tssually defined by its lay-followers, or if I may speak in dietary terms, as something; parevdig. that is neither milchig or fleishig. Con¬ servative fttdaism, at least as far as I am concerned, and as far as its Qther leaders are concerned, stands for tke most constructive policy in moder%% Jew¬ ish life, here, or anywhere else, where Judaism and Jeias have free social and intellectual contact with the non^Jeivish emfirontnent, "Conservative Judaism h that phage of Modern Judaism that stands for the, healthy attitude of compromise that seeks to adjust modern Jewish life and thought. It suggests a compromise that does not efface Judaism and Jewish indi¬ viduality. Rather it siiggeBts a compro¬ mise that brings Judaism renewed life and s^trength. "Conservative Judaism is the Golden Mean in the modern philosophies of Ju¬ daism. It has accepted the good and haa discarded the bad of both the Right and t!ie Left of Orthodoxy and Reform- Conservative Judaism carries out the let' ter ami the spirit of Jewish wisdom and of the general wisdom of ejtperience Our sages of the Talmud, in di'^cussing the correct method how the Torah ought to be interpreted, whether allegoricilly, literally or by a mixture 61 both meth¬ ods, use this very beautiful and sugges¬ tive metaphor: . ' ' 'The interpretation of the Torah,' they say, 'can be coifipared to two paths, one of fire and the other of snow and ice. If one should take'the former, he will, die of the scorching fires; if one should take the latter, he will die of the freezing ice and snow. What shall one do? Let him go in thc center.* "In my opinion," continued Rabbi Riv¬ lin; "this metaphor explains very cor¬ rectly thc ijosition of Conservative Juda¬ ism. It follows the middle road. It steers clear . of the scorching fires of orthodoxy and the chilling ice of reform. It is in a position where it takes ad¬ vantage and gladly accepts the warmth of orthodoxy and the refreshing breezes of reform." . Proceeding, Dr. Rivlin -went on to say that Conservative Judaism recognizes (Continued on page 4) Rahbi Jacob Tarshish Scored Dry Killings In Radio Ser-r mon Last Sunday Spiritual Leader of Bryden Road Temple Severely Criticizes Enforcement Methods Now in Vogue Something should be done to stop wholesale killing in connection with the enforcement of the prohibition laws, Rabbi Jacob Tarshish told listeners in Temple Israel and his. radio audience Sunday morning. . Rabbi Tarshish prefaced his remarks on prohlbiition and its enforcement with the explanation that he was expressing his own viewpoint alone; He said he was not speaking for his congregation or the radio station y/hich carried his nessage. He also, explained that by his criticism of prohibition enforcement he did not iuean to infer lie favored the return of' the saloon or the conditions which pre- ailed hefore the prohibition law was adopted. ¦ Raps De King Slaying Rabbi Tarshish criticized tlie recent slaying of. Mrs. Joseph De King by prohibition agents in her, home at Aurora, Illinois. "It was only. natural for the Woman to, rush to the aid of her husband," Rabbi Tarshish said, "and it was only natural for the son to do what he could to defend his .parents and home. "The De King case is ian isolated case, of course, but I believe it is indicative of the enforcement of the prohibition laws. "There have, been . several thousatids of persons killed in the enforcement of this law. in the past decade. Compare this with the number killed in the en- iorcement of all other laws. - "I think it is strange that the Anti- saloon League-and other agencies push¬ ing prohibition enforcement had never raised protests at the whole kilting which has resulted. Give Light Sentences} "Respectable people, who would not for a second entertain a thought of violating any of the laws against fraud, robbery and other crimes, transgrebs thc prohi¬ bition law without hesitation. "Judges and Juries have adopted the same attitude. They give light sen¬ tences. "The Jones law, which provid<;s much heavier penalties for violations "of the liquor laws, witl do no good. It has heen demonstrated that when penalties arc too drastic crime will increase. "In England some 200 years ago a law was enacted providing the death penalty for the theft of mqre than a shilling. No person cared to enforce such a law and crime increased. No court, bo far, has cared to inflict the penalties the Joiics law wiU permit," Rabbi Tar&hish said. He also pointed to the fact that six states have repealed their state enforce¬ ment laws. He suggested tliat when Congress a|>- propriates money for the enforcement of prohibition it prowdes for the removal and severe ptmishment of agents who kill except in cases where,it is absolut^dy necesitary to do bo to sa\e th^ii own lives. i^^2i?^^ ¦w>* ;*."... .^^'¦^ /.¦^"^'i ¦_; "if;V,',

Tony Stewart made a late outside pass on Juan Pablo Montoya and held on Sunday at Dover International Speedway to snap a 30-race winless streak.
Stewart hadn't even had a top-five finish this season and was stuck in 20th in the points standings. He took the lead with the pass with three laps left in the 400-mile race.
Stewart hadn't won on the concrete mile track since he swept both Cup races in 2000.
"Our guys at our shop have been digging,'' Stewart said. "None of these guys get down. We have been down but they haven't gotten down. That is what carries you to days like today at the end of the day.''
Seven-time Dover winner Jimmie Johnson appeared to have the car to beat, but jumped a restart and had to serve a pass-through penalty. Johnson argued over the radio and stayed on the track before he finally hit pit road.
With Johnson out of the picture, Montoya and Stewart battled for the lead the rest of the race.
Jeff Gordon was third, followed by Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski. NASCAR said Keselowski failed post-race inspection because the entire front of his No. 2 Ford was too low.
Stewart's team erupted in celebration in the pits after winning for the first time since last July in Daytona. It was his 48th career win. He hadn't finished better than 20th in his last four races at Dover.
He might not have gotten this one had Johnson not been penalized with about 19 laps left. Johnson jumped ahead of Montoya out of the restart box and NASCAR quickly threw the black flag.
"We certainly had the winning car,'' Johnson said. "We'll have to come back and do it in the fall.''
Montoya's only two career Cup victories came on road courses. He tried to play the spoiler after Johnson's penalty but just didn't have enough to hold off a hard-charging Stewart.
Johnson, who kept the points lead, finished 17th.
"He just wanted to get the jump on me,'' Montoya said. "He just jumped it too much. I would have tried to do the same.''
Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr., both in the top 10 in points entering the race, made early exits because of engine issues.
Pole sitter Denny Hamlin finished 34th after he hit the wall late in the race. Hamlin needed a big points day to try and crack the top 20 if he has any hope at a Chase for the Sprint Cup championship wild-card berth. Hamlin is 26th in the standings, 122 points out of 10th and 74 points out of 20th.
Stewart aided his cause in a wild-card spot with the win. The two drivers in the 11th to 20th spot in the points standings with the most wins earn a spot in the Chase.
"It's been such a tough year,'' Stewart said.
It got a little easier Sunday. Stewart tested at Dover and hoped that would help at a track that's given him fits the last few years. Stewart-Haas Racing appeared to turn a corner last week at Charlotte after Ryan Newman finished sixth and Stewart was seventh.
Stewart said one strong weekend wasn't going to cure all of SHR's problems.
Make it two and with a big win in hand.
"We got two weeks of momentum under our belt now at two totally different race tracks,'' Stewart said. "That is big. Momentum is huge in this sport. We still got a lot of work to do. We won't sit.''

Niagara University's Office of Continuing Education, in collaboration with Sodexo food services, is presenting a sushi-cooking demonstration on Friday, March 22, with renowned executive chef Billy O'Donnell.
The event takes place from 5-7 p.m. in the Heritage Room of Clet Dining Hall on the Niagara University campus. A $39 fee includes the demonstration of how to cook three kinds of sushi (maki, te maki and nigiri), as well as a take-home sushi kit with ingredients for making six sushi rolls.
O'Donnell, who has cooked for Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jay Leno and Yoko Ono, among other celebrities, placed first in two major cooking competitions and won the most recent Sodexo Asian cookbook contest with a recipe that he'll share with the class.

Global Free Internet Act Introduced In Congress
from the these-things-matter dept
(A) encourage utilization on a global basis of technology standards set by international standards-setting organizations, including industry-led and other voluntary bodies, and selected by the market;And it worries about governments seeking to censor or constrain the internet by doing any of the following:
(B) respect the security of information, privacy, and speech of Internet users;
(C) promote investment in Internet-related innovation;
(D) refrain from compelling Internet service providers and other intermediaries to restrict the free flow of information on the Internet; and
(E) allow trade in Internet-related goods, services, information, and content.
(A) mandating unique technology standards favoring domestic producers as a condition of market access or pursuing related policies regarding standard-setting that are discriminatory and subvert the open, global nature of the Internet;It then goes on to create a task force to take on these issues, and to help the government promote the first list, while avoiding the second. It seems like a perfectly reasonable plan, with little controversial about it, which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see Congress ignore it.
(B) sponsoring or tolerating the use of Internet-related tools to gain unauthorized access to public-sector and private-sector networks in the United States to disrupt their operation;
(C) blocking, filtering, or otherwise restricting Internet communications in a manner that discriminates against Internet-based services and content originating in other countries;
(D) monitoring Internet use and communications in a manner that restricts individual privacy and freedom; and
(E) imposing market access requirements or liabilities that discriminate against or otherwise impede Internet-related goods, services and content from other countries.

As its 50th anniversary nears, Universal Studios Hollywood is undergoing a level of construction unlike anything the movie theme park has seen in the last half-century.
Virtually every corner of Universal -- the parking structures, the main entrance, the theme park, the studio backlot -- is under construction, all in anticipation of a certain boy wizard.
"There's more construction going on now than ever before, probably in the history of the park," said Jon Primrose, editor of the Studio Tour, a Universal Studios fan site. "But how will the park cope when the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opens its gates? It's already full of people."
The nearly constant dust and din of the massive expansion marks quite a turnaround for a park that was down on its heels at the beginning of this decade. If the last five years or so have proved immensely successful for Universal, the five years before that were a total disaster -- both figuratively and literally.
After the twin successes of the Shrek 4-D film in 2003 and the Revenge of the Mummy indoor roller coaster in 2004, Universal Studios Hollywood entered a low period creatively that stretched through the end of the decade. In retrospect, much of the blame can be pinned on the merger of NBC with Vivendi Universal Entertainment in 2004.
"Between 2003 and 2010, there were some very strange decisions made as Universal Studios Hollywood seemed to be struggling with its identity," said Primrose. "Too many of the new attractions had no story, no heart, no emotion."
The bad streak included one horrible new attraction after another: "Fear Factor Live" stage show (2005), Fast & Furious: Extreme Close-Up dancing stunt cars (2006), House of Horrors walk-through maze (2007), Curious George water play area (2008) and the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" stage musical (2009).
Many of the woeful new additions replaced attractions that were as bad or worse than their successors. Anyone remember the "Spider-Man Rocks" stage show or the Chicken Run walk-through maze? It's not surprising since neither of these attractions remains.
"Much of the period could be characterized by a combination of corporate ambivalence, aimlessness and general stagnation -- all in an effort to streamline costs," said Jonathan Fu, editor in chief of the Inside Universal fan site. "When Universal did choose to invest, attractions were often met with a lukewarm response, attributed mostly to poor execution or limitations stemming from low budgets."
The fallow period produced only two unqualified successes: the triumphant return of Halloween Horror Nights and the new Simpsons ride (unless you were a fan of the old Back to the Future ride).
By far the lowest of the lowlights during that forgettable era was the 2008 studio backlot fire that destroyed the New York City streets and the King Kong attraction.
"A big symbolic change was the huge and devastating fire in 2008," said the Studio Tour's Primrose. "King Kong had been the centerpiece of the studio tour since 1986. It was one of the symbolic and tone-setting attractions in the park. Totally story-led, very immersive, very successful."
In retrospect, the devastating fire proved a blessing in disguise, allowing the theme park to rise from the ashes like a phoenix. The Kong attraction's smoldering remains were replaced in 2010 with the spectacular King Kong 360 3-D drive-through movie experience that immediately became a highlight of the studio tram tour.
"Much in the same vein of Universal's now-classic attractions of the '90s, King Kong was the embodiment of Universal's best creative traits," said Inside Universal's Fu. "Not only was the attraction unapologetically boisterous, groundbreaking and loud, it also resonated deeply with the public -- allowing guests to interact with their favorite characters in a new, innovative way."
The new Kong attraction set a high bar for attraction quality and excitement at Universal and heralded a sustained run of well-received rides and themed lands.
Since then, Universal has embarked on a five-year plan that has seen the introduction of the Transformers 3-D dark ride (2012), Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem motion simulator (2014) and the Simpsons-themed land of Springfield (April 2015) with the Fast & Furious: Supercharged drive-through movie (June 25) and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter themed land (Spring 2016) still on the way.
So what changed?
First, Universal found the key to Gringotts Bank in 2010 when the wildly successful Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in Florida. Annual attendance in Orlando rose 20%, revenue soared by more than 40% and operating profit nearly quadrupled as fans scooped up magic wands and downed millions of butterbeers, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The Potter bounty was poured back into Universal parks worldwide, including California.
Second, Comcast took controlling interest of NBCUniversal and increased theme park revenue from $400 million in 2011 to an expected $1.3 billion in 2015 at the Florida and California locations.
The changes have had an immediate and striking effect on Universal Studios Hollywood. Annual attendance has risen from 4.3 million visitors in 2009 to 6.1 million in 2013, according to the Themed Entertainment Assn. And that number is expected to skyrocket when Potter finally opens.
So what's next? Universal officials aren't commenting, but a multi-decade evolution plan for the park unveiled in 2006 offers some clues.
The $7-billion evolution plan calls for seven new theme park attractions and the removal or relocation of several studio backlot tour favorites, including the "Jaws" lake, the "War of the Worlds" disaster scene and the famed "Psycho" house and Bates Motel.
A pair of aging theaters located side by side on the Upper Lot would seem like a perfect spot for a new attraction. The Animal Actors stage that opened in 1970 feels quaintly archaic alongside the park's newer high-adrenaline attractions while the nearby 1979 Castle Theater is currently home to the equally out-dated Special Effects Stage.
Universal recently announced a partnership with Nintendo to introduce interactive theme park rides based on video games such as Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and Legend of Zelda. The hope is to draw gamers to the parks who have played some of the 4.3 billion Nintendo video games sold since 1983.
And how about this as a suitable finale for Universal's five-year plan: A Diagon Alley expansion of Wizarding World is reportedly envisioned for the Waterworld stunt show arena location, according to a source who has seen the blueprints.
"The concept of Diagon Alley coming to Hollywood seems to get tossed around a lot within the theme park community," said Inside Universal's Fu. "While I'm a bit bearish on the idea itself, given the park's current layout and space predicament, I think it's also important to note Universal's penchant for defying the status quo in terms of what can and cannot be done on its Hollywood property."

Microsoft has offered to buy the search engine company Yahoo for USD 44.6bn in cash and shares. The offer, contained in a letter to Yahoo's board, is 62% above Yahoo's closing share price on Thursday. Yahoo cut its revenue forecasts earlier this week and said it would have to spend an additional USD 300m this year trying to revive the company. It has been struggling in recent years to compete with Google, which has also been a competitor to Microsoft. Update: More here.

Hi my name is Mike and I work on a project called Platinum Arts Sandbox which makes it easy for kids and adults to create their own 3D worlds, games, levels, quests, etc. The software is free and open source and currently being used in many schools throughout the world. I have used it personally to teach in various schools and I've seen work from kids as young as six. I do have some of the kids work from a summer camp I taught if you'd be interested in seeing it. Here is a review of the software:
Here is our tutorial video:
Here is a video interview of me and it has some shots of the work kids did at the summer camp:
http://www.moddb.com/games/platinum-art ... -interview
Our homepage is: http://kids.platinumarts.net
I originally started this project for kids that were in my before and afterschool program at an elementary school. That is one of the reasons it is free and open source, I want kids to be able to have total access to it. If I could get this to kids all over the world it would be a dream come true! I'm so excited about even the idea of being able to have such a positive effect of so many kids! A neat thing is that in Sandbox you can cooperatively edit maps and levels, so with the laptops they could use the wifi to work together on create! I really hope to get this software in OLPC and to more schools because of all of the positive impacts I've already seen. If anyone is interested in my teaching experiences with the software then please feel free to ask. Take care!

The Media Circus
That is, the fact that much of the national media has descended upon Canton and nearby areas concerning the disappearance of a certain pregnant mother, 26 year-old Jessie Marie Davis, from her home in North Canton.
A virtual media village has set up at the Stark County Sheriff's Department, and national network and cable news reporters have made the area their second home. Among the first to make the trek to Ohio - FOX News Channel's Greta van Susteren and her "On The Record" show, flanked by at least two other FNC reporters.
And local TV and radio news operations are intensely involved as well.
On Wednesday evening's "Channel 3 News at 6", Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC/3 featured anchor Tim White on-scene in Canton at what we guess could be "Camp Jessie" - the parking lot of the sheriff's department.
With White joined by reporter Chris Tye and Akron/Canton bureau chief-news anchor Eric Mansfield, the "multiple coverage" reminds us of the massive "team coverage" over the Cleveland Cavaliers' recent NBA Finals series.
Speaking of which, ABC affiliate WEWS/5 was not to be left out, with "NewsChannel 5" investigative reporter Duane Pohlman breathlessly describing a search of the home of Davis' boyfriend, a Canton police officer, with "NewsChopper 5" providing pictures overhead. A similar scene played out over at CBS affiliate WOIO/19's "19 Action News" Wednesday afternoon.
Teams have also fanned out from northern Stark County and Canton, over to Wooster and up to Hudson to cover various aspects of this story.
And with the FNC folks here, FOX O&O (for now) WJW/8 "FOX 8" has had use of their footage to supplement local reporting. We saw Ms. van Susteren's tour of Ms. Davis' home on "FOX 8 News" Wednesday evening.
Local TV and radio reporters are busy serving non-local viewers and listeners as well.
We're sure just about all of 'em are doing live shots for their various sister network affiliates around the country. Those are the same live shots you've seen reporters do in other cities for local stations of the same network or owner.
News-oriented stations like Canton's WHBC/1480 and Akron's WAKR/1590 have been covering the ongoing series of events with vigor, and WHBC's microphone flag has been visible in just about every live press conference video we've seen.
We haven't had the ability to listen to WHBC's local talk shows since this started, but we'll assume that they're delving into the first big Canton news story since they changed format to talk.
And as you might expect, WAKR/Rubber City Radio's AkronNewsNow website is all over the story, with an extensive special section with news stories, audio, video and even a blog from the station's news staffers covering the events.
The story is even pressing non-newsies into service as reporters, and not just on FM radio morning shows.
As we flipped by CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck show Wednesday evening, we saw Beck tossing to someone from "our radio affiliate", Clear Channel Akron talker WHLO/640, and "reporter" Keith Kennedy on the phone.
That's right, the cluster's programming operations director and hot AC WKDD/98.1 afternoon driver was doing a news "voicer" report for the host who airs - on the radio side - weekdays on WHLO at 9 AM.
(For the OMW readers at Freedom Avenue, feel free to jokingly call him "Scoop" today.)
Beck did misidentify the station as "NewsTalk 540" twice, though the graphics were correct. (We're guessing he had affiliate WFLF/540 Orlando FL on his mind.)
Though WHLO itself dispatches no field reporters from its studios - morning anchor Tom Duresky is busy anchoring for WHLO and WKDD - the station has the services of excellent WTAM/1100 "lead team reporter" Greg Saber, who can drop into the studios after covering events.
And it's not that far of a drive.
WHLO and its Freedom Avenue sisters are actually occupying the closest broadcast media facility of any type to the home of Ms. Davis. A quick Google Maps search shows us that it's just a two-and-a-half mile drive from the home to the Clear Channel World Domination HQ/Southern Command.
And one of the most unlikely TV and radio voices is all over the place in broadcast media coverage.
The Canton Repository's Todd Porter nabbed the first interview with the aforementioned Canton police officer who's the boyfriend of the missing woman. The audio was heard on TV and radio all over Northeast Ohio - and the world - for the better part of the Wednesday, thanks to the Repository's posting of it on the cantonrep.com website.
The Akron Beacon Journal's Bob Dyer, a former media writer for the paper himself, delves into the national media takeover of Stark County in an article in today's Beacon.
Anyway, media circus aside, particularly, we express our fondest hope that Ms. Davis and her child are found safe and sound...

Beacon Journal's Bob Dyer hits it SO right on the head with this blast at the media this morning:
I love it that Glenn cannot even get his own affiliate right.
This will last till something even more gruesome comes along and the vultures will depart post haste without even a look at what's behind them in their rear view mirrors.
I only wish the local TV outlets would cover EVERY story with this kind of intensity. Not necessarily the manpower, but the passion to captivate the viewers with upfront portrayal of this human drama.
Saw Toni Ciconne from WAKR on Greta the other night.
We've got a new newsbabe in Akron!
People go missing all the time and yet you don't see the media frenzy unless it's a pretty girl. Local and national news won't pay attention to a story unless they know it will attract an audience. Unfortunately, that's the nature of the business. I'm glad there are other things to watch besides the news. News outlets are certainly not the same as many, many years ago. Now, when people really want the most up-to-the-minute news they can turn to the internet. Television, for many of the younger generation, is all about entertainment, not news.
I left NE Ohio a few years ago. The person I would love to hear right now is the man who is by far the master of local talk issues...Howie Chizek on WNIR. Not that I always agreed with his politics, the man is a genious with local topics. He'd be the person I'd be listening to for great local talk right now. WNIR news coverage...OK maybe not. But Howie was great with this stuff.
You only hope this can be resolved soon enough. The last thing North Canton needs (or the country, for that matter) is another Natalee Holloway episode, and have all the news channels decamped here literally forever.
The aformented Greta footage from inside the home aired on Fox News' "On The Record" just ten minutes before WJW aired it on their newscast, rightfully billed as an "exclusive" in the local sense. Greta was also interviewed by Bill Martin and Stacey Bell on the 5PM newscast earlier that day.
Even though Fox News has their own reporter assigned to the story (Jeff Goldblatt), this is the closest - ever - that WJW and Fox News Channel have ever worked together on covering a story, given that WJW is a Fox O&O for the immediant future (and possibly beyond?).

By the way, a personal aside...
** Soapbox ON... **
I had been a part of the funeral a few weeks ago for the fallen Cleveland Heights police officer in Avon (where he was born and grew up at). It was terribly surreal to see all of the ENG trucks all parked in succession, plus the news choppers and cameraman all following the procession.
I didn't need to see the coverage. Because I was there. And it was an honorable sendoff, and the news channels covered the events and the various vigils all fairly - even Action 19.
So, my point is that such a powerful story can be covered with a sense of respect and decorum, or with the squacking sound of vultures decending upon a corpse. It's a fine line to tread, and I hope it isn't ignored.
** Soapbox OFF! **
- Nathan Obral
This is a local crime story. As such, it belongs all over the local media. But outside the immediate area, this local crime story is being milked in the shamefully cynical manner one has come to expect from cable "news" and other mass media. This is local TV news writ large: if it bleeds, it leads. Where's my Head On?
Today's New York Times reports the story for the first time in that paper, gives it 24 column inches (including two photos — one of missing woman, another of missing woman's mom and child) on page A16, and manages to say everything that really needs to be said about the case. The rest is noise.
Shame on Channel 5 for a half hour prime time special on this with no new info. Child psychiatrists talking about the 2 years old. Wayyyy over the top. Covering it in newscasts is one thing, prime time specials is insulting and the reason people hate the media
Are you kiddin me? WNIR? Honestly?
I listen to WNIR almost exclusively, but not for coverage of hard hitting topics.
-Does Stan even knows there is a woman missing?
-Howie makes fun of the story and clearly has read only one article from beacon and lost interest after that.
-Golic is completely uneducated on the facts of the case
-Erickson is well, Erickson.
Phil reported that a body had been found on Wednesday after a caller said it. HE THEN RAN IT IN A NEWSCAST!
Serisouly, I do listen to WNIR, not for information, but entertainment. I enjoy the train wreck. Bad radio is waaaayyy more entertaining that good radio.
WNIR is a great station you are just jealous you do not work there.
WNIR love 'em or hate 'em yield the top ratings in Akron and out revenues the other stations. The train wreck is sure sucessful and profitable. Can't say the same for WKDD, WHLO or WARF.
I agree WNIR out revenues the stations in the Akron market. I know that I've visited a restaurant in Akron a few times because Howie Chizek mentioned it so many times on his show.
Are you saying WKDD WARF and WHLO aren't profitable?
You really mean that?
Are you on Drugs?
Why do you site WKDD as a train wreck? Would you care to site some examples or explain why you think so? Clearly the previous poster explained why he/she thought WNIR was a train wreck. You simply state all the Clear Channel stations are. Your post ounds like another case of sour grapes to me.
Jessie Davis was found dead today near the Portage Lakes. Let's all say a prayer for her family and she and her unborn child.

Noted vitamin D researcher Dr. Michael Holick used visuals of a malformed iguana, a vampire bat getting a transfusion and pale sunbathers to make a serious point: At least 40 percent of the population has a vitamin D deficiency that can be a factor in diseases from bones to brain.
Noted vitamin D researcher Dr. Michael Holick used visuals of a malformed iguana, a vampire bat getting a transfusion and pale sunbathers to make a serious point: At least 40 percent of the population has a vitamin D deficiency that can be a factor in diseases from bones to brain.
Michael Holick delivered the lecture "The D-Lightful Vitamin D for Good Health" Thursday evening to a packed room at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition building in downtown Ocala. The talk was part of an ongoing series sponsored by the technical research facility and co-hosted by the College of Central Florida.
The iguana and the bat not actually getting a transfusion were both involved in his case studies, and the bathers were examples of sun-shunners likely in need of vitamin D.
"About 50 percent of infants in the U.S. are in a state of vitamin D deficiency," Holick said, which can lead to failure to thrive and bone disease.
"Even in sunny Florida, people have low vitamin D levels, which can be a concern in everything from stunted growth, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, tuberculosis, influenza and autoimmune disease," said Holick, 67, a doctor and biophysicist at Boston University Medical Center and vitamin D researcher for nearly 40 years, according to a biography distributed at the talk.
Even dementia and schizophrenia may be traced to a lack of vitamin D, Holick believes.
Holick showed visuals of a bone-deteriorating disease called osteomalacia that's tied to the lack of vitamin D.
The literature provided at the lecture indicated Holick has had about 300 publications on vitamin D and two books: "The UV Advantage" and "The Vitamin D Solution." Holick is the recipient of the Linus Pauling Research Award, although Holick said he "one-upped Pauling" in the vitamin alphabet.
Holick explained in his talk that early "hunter gatherers" had longer sunlight exposure, which produces increases of vitamin D in the body.
"The message from dermatologists about concern for sun exposure has gone unchallenged and led to a vitamin D deficiency pandemic," Holick said.
"We don't get vitamin D through diet. For example, a glass of milk has about 100 units of vitamin D. For 600 units, that would take six glasses," Holick stated.
Holick said he personally takes "3,000 to 4,000 units daily" and feels many patients are recommended doses greatly below what he states are "safe levels."
"I initiated the procedure of one 50,000-unit tablet every two weeks, which is the equal of about 3,300 units daily. I don't know of many vitamins which have had their recommended levels increased threefold," Holick said, adding that a doctor should make a test on each patient that will indicate the level of vitamin D so that a recommendation can be made and proper calcium levels be monitored.
Holick said the "25-hydroxy" test for vitamin D should show a range of "at least" 30, although 40 to 60 or higher up to 100 is acceptable, he said.
"A lawyer in Florida was taking a (concentrated) vitamin D liquid he purchased on line that was not properly diluted. He was taking about one million units daily and suffered vitamin D intoxication," Holick said, adding that the man showed no prolonged health problems after treatment.
Holick said the positive effects of moderate sun exposure were mentioned in a 1915 Navy study that showed persons working outdoors were "eight times less likely" to die from diseases than those who worked strictly indoors.
Dr. Stephen Anton with the University of Florida Institute of Aging is currently undertaking a six-month "Vitamin D as a Supplement Against Falls in Elders (D-Safe)" study of individuals over 70 years of age taking 800 units of vitamin D daily.
"The elderly seem to usually have lower levels of vitamin D," Anton said.
Holick said sun exposure was important for the body's vitamin D exposure but recommended moderation.
"You never want to get sunburn, but using SPF (sunscreen) 30 negates about 95 percent" of the positive effects of sun exposure, Holick said.
Holick recommend monitored time in the sun, for example 15-minute segments and using an iPhone app (http: dminder.info) that will provide the user with exact info on recommended exposure time based on GPS location and time of year.
"The best time for the body to make vitamin D from the sun due to the angle of the rays is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.," he said.
"The sun's rays change in winter. Above Atlanta, from November to March, you get almost no benefit, and even in Miami in winter only about 20 percent of full exposure benefit," Holick said.
Lecture attendee Pam Gardner came to bolster her efforts to "balance her use" of vitamins in conjunction with diet, while Paul and Susan Antram both said they enjoyed the lecture.
"We'll check our use of vitamin D," Susan Antram said.
Ocala Fire Rescue Assistant Fire Chief Brian Stoothoff said he came to the talk "already a taker of vitamin D but would look at the levels."
Ocala Mayor Kent Guinn said he was "very excited and pleased by the IHMC lecture series."
"And I'll check my vitamin D level," he said.

Our Tandem – Phoenix Brand -as in Up From the Ashes.
I made The Elephant Walk tandem in 2002. It was made by putting two bikes together. The front is an old Ross and the back is a Park Pre not that it really matters. .Making the tandem was a great project and the bike runs great. Actually Rita and I have learned to make it run great. Our usual 18+ mile route includes a bunch of hills and we usually average over 12 mph. We think we are doing well for a couple of older riders. In the St Paul Classic Tour (32 miles)we found that we could hold up and actually pass a lot of other riders.
The tandem did develop a problem after Rita and I became good riders and that was that we would rip out rear wheel spokes right at the wheel flange. The wheels were 36 hole rims and when climbing I would stand for more go power and that was tearing up the spokes. We had to go to 48 hole rims and hubs. The hubs are BMX units with sealed bearings and are very strong. Coupled with new spokes and rims we haven't had any problems since they were put on the bike. The original bike also had an idler pulley to take up chain slack on the timing chain. I have since cut out the original bottom bracket and brazed in an eccentric crank so that the chain is tensioned just like a professional model. This winter we had the bike powder coated, orange, and it looks great.
I have turned into a bike nut. I collect bikes from anywhere. My first bike I actually picked out of a trash pile the day after a yard sale. It's an old Nishiki that needed work. and was marked $5 it didn't sell so they tossed it. I have turned into a pretty good bike mechanic even though I haven't done much bike repair for a long time. The basic technology is still fairly simple. I had a great helper, Sheldon Brown. (Sheldon left us several years ago and we miss him but his web site is still maintained sheldonbrown.com )Sheldon was in the Boston area (Newton Mass) at Harris Cyclery. He's a work. Since he is in the Boston area I believe he may be a lost brother of Click and Clack the Car Talk Guys. Sheldon went on to bikes and Tom and Ray went on to cars. The knowledge by all three in their respective fields is astounding.
Sheldon Brown died in early 08 but his website and knowledge is still on the web so his knowledge and spirit will live ,hopefully, forever,however long that may be. Here is a link to Sunday London Times obit and short bio of Sheldon Brown.
Sheldon Brown will has written for all the major biking magazines and there was an article on him in one of the cycling mags just last summer with a giant picture of his hansom face. Don't be frightened he won't hurt you.
I now have upwards of ten bikes and am trying to keep it at that number but who knows when you will see a great bike deal or a great dumpster.. I don't have any great new superlightweight bikes.One of my best bikes is an old Bianchi ( we love the Celeste Green). I also have a great French bike that had tubular tires on it when I bought it for $10. One of my works in progress is an English Lambert that was also a bargain. There are lots of bargains in the basic bike out there. Old road10,15-21 speeds are readily available for almost nothing. Since this entry is aging as we all are bikes are becoming fewer and more expensive. Chances are an old bike may need new tires ( they are reasonably priced) , lubing and a tune up.Then you would be good to go and go and go.
I now ride over 2000 miles a year and my old bikes are doing fine. I have found out that the bike (Its Not About the Bike) is not as important as riding the bike. We met an elderly gentleman on the Gateway Trail who had been riding for 15 or so years and had an estimated 70,000 miles on his old Trek road bike. The frame had cracked last year so he had it rebrazed and it was fine. The main thing is to ride the bike no matter wether a $25 dollar beater or a mid level $2500 bike. I am not enamored with top of line bikes though they are wonders of engineering and lightweight design.

Music director and conductor Max Bragado-Darman led the orchestra of the Monterey Symphony last week in a passionately string-centric program of old favorites plus two 20th century Spanish gems.
I attended the Sunday afternoon presentation of this third concert of the symphony"s subscription season at Sunset Center.
Bulgarian pianist Anna Petrova joined the ensemble for a supple and vibrant reading of Mozart"s gorgeous "Piano Concerto No. 13." She and the orchestra united to create an exalted performance of the work aligned in a pure way with the program"s theme: "Introspection."
Among her artistic gifts, Petrova knows how to portray the beauty of the silence between the notes. The andante movement proved especially breathtaking.
Bragado introduced the audience to Eduard Toldr "s "Sea Views," a musical portrayal of the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia, and Joaquin Turina"s deeply moving "The Bullfighter"s Prayer."
These lovely works expressed the soul of his native Spain and elaborated the introspective theme of the concert.
Later this month, the piano as a solo instrument will be highlighted with Solaun playing a Carmel-only recital of works by Robert Schumann and Modest Mussorgsky.
For reservations and more information on the Monterey Symphony call 646-8511 or visit the web at wwwmonterey symphony.org.
Here"s looking at love!
We come now to a tale of two Davids collaborating for a music-and-words exploration of love the Sunday before Valentine"s Day.
They are award-winning author David Loye and man-of-music extraordinaire David Gordon, both of whom live in this region and enjoy national and international reputations.
In "Love Story: A Valentine in Songs And Poems," Gordon — best known here for his many contributions to the Carmel Bach Festival — draws on his experience as an opera, folk and jazz singer to complement Loye"s poetry.
Loye will read a selection of poetry written to his wife and partner, author Riane Eisler. He says he found in his own poetry of love in its many phases a universality of experience.
"This is what struck me so powerfully in looking back at all of the poems," he says. "It was no longer just the story of two of us, but of most of us. There are differences, of course, but I was struck by how much the story of love is the same, which David Gordon"s selection of love songs from all over the world so beautifully underlines."
Indeed, the themes are familiar: love"s beginning, its playfulness, the pain of love, the fear, the sadness and ecstasy, etc.
Gordon and Loye are also completing a new Website, www.osantouniversity.com (online but still under construction), that features an experimental publication of Loye"s new book of poems "Love Is: A Life Story" free for reading on screen or downloading as PDF.
"Love Story: A Valentine in Songs And Poems" takes place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula in Carmel. Call 624-7404 for tickets.

[page 2259:]
By James A. Harrison,
[column 1:]
OUR concluding glimpse of this strange life-drama, which begun its same year as Tennyson's, Darwin's, Gladstone's, Abraham Lincoln's, Chopin's and Mendelssohn's, — an annus mirabilis of poetry, music, wit, oratory and science, — is of Poe as a lecturer after he had attained celebrity as a writer. But, meanwhile, when we contemplate Gladstone's and Tennyson's long life, a keen regret may well flash through the end for an exquisite gift cut off so untimely, which might have flowed into marvelous exuberance; for at forty Tennyson was not yet laureate and Poe — was dead.
A note from the eminent Grecian, Prof. B. L. Gildersleeve, Editor of The American Journal of Philology and Professor of Greek in the Johns Hopkins University, thus describes Poe as he appeared in the year 1849, before a Richmond audience, reciting "The Raven":
Poe's personality is as vivid to me as if I had heard and seen him yesterday. I am old [column 2:] enough to remember what an excitement his "Goldbug [[Gold-Bug]]" created in Charleston when it first appeared, and how severely we boys criticised the inaccuracies in the description of Sullivan's Island. Poe himself I saw and heard in Richmond during the last summer of his life. He was lodging at some poor place in Broad street, if I am not mistaken. At least I saw him repeatedly in that thoroughfare — a poetical figure, if there ever was one, clad in black as was the fashion then — slender — erect — the subtle lines of his face fixed in meditation. I thought him wonderfully handsome, the mouth being the only weak point. I was too shy to seek an introduction to the poet, but John R. Thompson procured for me Poe's autograph, a possession, of which I was naturally very proud.
While Poe was in Richmond some of his friends got up a reading for his benefit, and I heard him read the "Raven" and some other poems before a small audience in one of the parlors of the Exchange Hotel. In spite of my admiration of Poe I was not an uncritical listener, and I have retained the impression that he did not read very well. His voice was pleasant enough, but he emphasized the rhythm unduly — a failing common, I believe, to poets [page 2260:] endowed with a keen sense of the music of their own verse.
This picturesque glimpse of the poet may well be supplemented by another from the pen of Bishop O. P. Fitzgerald who, in a talk to the Poe Memorial Association of the University in December last, threw his recollections of Poe for the writer into the following impressive form:
Edgar Allan Poe: A Talk. A compact, well-set man about five feet six inches high, straight as an arrow, easy-gaited, with white linen coat and trousers, black velvet vest and broad Panama hat, features sad yet finely cut, shapely head, and eyes that were strangely magnetic as you looked into them — this is the image of Edgar Allan Poe most vivid to my mind as I saw him one warm day in Richmond in 1849. There was a fascination about him that everybody felt. Meeting him in the midst of thousands a stranger would stop to get a second look, and to ask, "Who is he?" He was distingué in a peculiar sense — a man bearing the stamp of genius and the charm of a melancholy that drew one toward him with a strange sympathy. He was scarcely less unique in his personality than in his literary quality. His writings had already given him national reputation. The gentleness of his manner and the tones of his voice seemed to me to be strangely contrasted with the bitterness that characterized his personal controversies. These controversies were strangely numerous, and in nearly all cases their intensity was in the inverse ratio to the importance of the issues involved. Poe, I suspect, was one of the men who said worse things than he felt, his talent for satire proving a snare to him as it has been to many others who with pen or tongue sacrifice moderation for brilliancy or piquancy of expression. He was harshly treated by some of his contemporaries, but he owed them nothing on this account, giving them as good as they sent in the way of invective or sarcasm. The bitter personalities of literary men at that time were owing in part to an evil fashion then prevalent. The dueling and street fights among politicians had their counterpart in the shedding of vitriolic ink among the literati, great and small. Poe only differed from the rest in that he had a sharper thrust and a surer aim.
The Richmond Examiner was just then achieving its first and winning distinction as an able and ultra advocate of State Rights politics. John C. Calhoun was the leader, and the young "chivalry" of the South made a following that was heroic, and that did not stop to count the cost. The Examiner was their organ in Virginia — and a live organ it was. John M. Daniel, its editor-in-chief, wrote political leaders that were logic and rhetoric on fire. Robert W. Hughes discussed in good English economic questions from the standpoint of his time and his section. Arthur E. Petticolas wrote concerning art with much enthusiasm and some show of culture. Patrick [column 2:] Henry Aylette, a kinsman of the great orator of the Revolution, whose Christian name he bore, with a free hand touched up current politics and living politicians. Aylette was a picturesque Virginian of that time — a man nearly seven feet high who had something of the eloquence of his renowned ancestor, and the easy swing of a man of the people, a man who believed with all his heart in the Revolution of '98 and '99, and uniformly voted the straight Democratic ticket. Mr. Poe now and then contributed a literary article critical and peculiar, unmistakably his own. There were others who wrote for the Examiner — among them a youth who felt called upon to expound oracularly certain controverted Constitutional questions that Clay, Calhoun and Webster had failed to settle. He was a young man then, and need not be named now.
Poe and Daniel were often together, and I was not surprised when informed that arrangements had been made by which the former was soon to become the literary editor of the Examiner, was talked of in newspaper circles, and much satisfaction expressed by the initiated, who regarded it as a transaction promising good things for Southern journalism and literature. The Examiner, the new star in the journalistic firmament, was expected to blaze with added lustre and fill all the South with the illumination.
Poe had the sensitive organization of a man of genius, to whom alcoholic stimulation brings madness; for such there is no middle ground between total abstinence and inebriety. By the persuasion of friends he was induced to take a pledge of total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks. There is no reason to doubt his sincerity. His sad face took on a more hopeful expression; with a new hope in his heart he was about to make a new start in life. It was announced that he would soon make a visit to New York to close out his affairs there, preparatory to his entrance upon his new engagement at Richmond. With a view to giving him pecuniary assistance in a delicate way, and an expression of the good will of the Richmond public toward him, Poe was invited to deliver a lecture on some topic to be chosen by himself. The tickets were placed at five dollars each, and at that price three hundred persons were packed into the assembly rooms of the old Exchange Hotel. The lecture prepared for that occasion was on "The Poetic Principle," and it was read by him as it is now presented in his works. He was a charming reader, his manner the opposite of the elocutionary or sensational — quiet, without gesture, with distinctness of utterance, nice shadings of accent, easy gracefulness, and that indefinable element that draws the hearer toward the speaker with increasing good will and pleasure. I am glad that I heard Poe read that lecture; its sentences on the printed page have for me an added charm from the recollection. The net proceeds of the lecture amounted to fifteen hundred dollars. There was a touch of old Virginia in the way this was done. There is some of that old Virginia still left. The Virginia of that day and this will demonstrate their identity in the outcome of the movement to provide here at your university a suitable memorial of her most distinguished alumnus.
With the proceeds of this lecture in hand, Mr. Poe started to New York, but he never made the journey. Stopping in Baltimore en route he was invited to a birthday party. During the feast the fair hostess asked him to pledge with wine; and he could not refuse. That glass of wine was a spark to a powder magazine. He went on a debauch, and a few days later died in a hospital of mania a potu. On its nearer side death is a tragedy whenever, wherever and however it may come. But the tragedy of Poe's death is too deep for words of mine. He was only thirty-nine years old. His best work ought to have been before him. Had he lived and worked with unclouded brain and ardent purpose during the tremendous decades that followed, what might he not have achieved! Who can compute the loss to our literature from his untimely death! [column 2:]
Go on with your work, gentlemen of the University of Virginia, provide a fitting memorial to Edgar Allan Poe, your illustrious son. Young gentlemen of the University, do your part in this good work — and shun the rock on which he was wrecked.
This Trilogy in three Glimpses thus gives us three insights into a remarkable nature at three critical periods of its career: the child, the student, the man. The fallen angel began to fall very early, with elements of pity and terror in the tragedy which might have satisfied Aristotle himself.
NOTE: Zolnay's bust of Poe was unveiled with brilliant ceremonies in the Public Hall of the University, October 7, 1899. Mr. Hamilton W. Mabie, the guest of the Poe Association, delivered a masterly address on "Poe's Relations to American Literature."
Mr. Mabie's address was afterwards reprinted as "Poe's Place in American Literature, Atlantic Monthly, Dec. 1899, pp. 733-745.
The "youth" was presumably Oscar Penn Fitzgerald, a methodist minister who saw Poe in Richmond in 1849.
Poe was 40 at the time of his death, not 39. The claim of mania a potu is one of many unproven assertions in the mystery of Poe's death.

Red Wings' future suddenly looks much brighter
The demise of the Detroit Red Wings had been predicted two lockouts ago, yet the franchise continues to defy skeptics.
And with their performance in the Western Conference semifinal against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Red Wings appear to have a bright future.
They pushed the Blackhawks to the brink and came within an overtime goal of pulling off the biggest upset in this year's NHL playoffs.
Looking back at the series, the Red Wings let the Blackhawks off the hook. But the fact they were up 3-1 in the series with three chances to eliminate the Presidents' Trophy winners was an accomplishment in itself.
"I didn't like our Game 5, but other than that, we played well," said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock. "We didn't skate very good in Game 1 but we competed real hard.
"We had an opportunity at home (in Game 6), we had momentum, and made a couple of mistakes defensively. Then we did a lot of good things (in Game 7). Our guys really stepped up."
The Red Wings were still recovering from their seven-game battle with the Anaheim Ducks when they arrived for the first game against the Blackhawks.
Had it not been for the heroics of goaltender Jimmy Howard, they would have been blown out of the building that first night. Instead, it took the Blackhawks until the midway point of the first period to eventually take control of the game en route to a 4-1 victory.
With two days between the first and second game, the Red Wings were able recuperate and came out with an impressive encounter to take the second game and wrestle away home-ice advantage from the Blackhawks.
Two wins at the Joe Louis Arena put the Red Wings in a great position. However, they did not have a good performance in Game 5 in Chicago and couldn't hold a third-period lead in the following contest in Detroit.
"If you look at Game 1 and 5 in here (United Center), we didn't play our best," said Red Wings defenceman Niklas Kronwall. "Other than that, we played some good hockey. We stuck to our game plan and in Game 6, we should have won that one. (Wednesday) was one of those games. Great goaltending at both ends and the puck went off me for the winning goal."
Brent Seabrook scored 3:35 into overtime in Game 7 to finally put the Red Wings away.
Needing to win their last four games of the regular season just to get into the playoffs, the Red Wings had been battling for their lives for the past two months. They were able to extend their playoff streak to 22 years by getting in, then were rewarded by having to go up against the two best teams in the conference.
"It was a tight series, we played hard," said Red Wings winger Daniel Cleary. "It was a great Game 7. Guys should be proud of themselves.
"I thought we played a good game, had a good third period. This is a good team we played. Guys should be proud and disappointed. We had a chance, three chances to close them out and we just didn't get it done."
Regardless, with the emergence of players such as Gustav Nyquist, Damien Brunner, Joakim Andersson, and the development of Howard as a high-end goaltender, the Red Wings have the pieces in place for continued success in the future.
Although following a devastating loss, that was the last thing on their minds Wednesday night.
"That's something that will settle in over these next few days," said Kronwall. "Right now it's just an empty feeling. There's a lot of younger guys that made huge strides this year. Right now, it's always tough when you lose in this spot.
"It's just empty right now."

Broad Street Parkway meeting draws critics, supporters in Nashua
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA - Supporters and opponents of the Broad Street Parkway gathered at Millyard Technology Park Monday to air their opinions on the nearly $70 million roadway.
During an informal public meeting, an estimated 50 citizens stood around tables with enormous maps highlighting the future two-lane urban road, which will serve as another crossing of the Nashua River.
Preparations for the Broad Street Parkway are already under way, as new traffic patterns begin this week on Pine and Palm Streets.
"Certainly, the inner-city could use some connectivity, and motorists need to be provided with easy access in order for this area to thrive," said Peter Lewis, who has lived in Nashua since 1979. "If this is done well, it could really work."
Some remain unconvinced.
"I am not opposed to progress, but I think this money could be spent better elsewhere, like a north/south roadway providing another Merrimack River crossing," said Ed Colbert of Strawberry Bank Road.
The preliminary layout and alignment of the future 1.8-mile roadway has already been designed; the final design has not yet been determined.
Hayner Swanson, Inc. of Nashua, along with Fay, Spofford and Thorndike of Burlington, Mass., are creating the engineering design for the Broad Street Parkway from the Broad Street/Blue Hill Avenue intersection to Pine Street/Central Street.
The ultimate goal of the project is to connect Broad Street to the downtown area by allowing motorists to bypass Amherst Street via another crossing of the Nashua River, possibly attracting more business and people to the Millyard Technology Park.
"A lot of companies are looking to locate into Nashua, and hopefully some of them are going to see this new development in the Millyard area and want to relocate into Nashua's vibrant community," said Alderman Richard Dowd, Ward 2.
Although Dowd was not an alderman at the time the project was approved by voters, he said he fully supports the roadway, which he believes will alleviate traffic congestion on Broad Street, Main Street and beyond.
The roadway was originally proposed as a four-lane road, but was scaled back several years ago, according to City Engineer Steve Dookran.
While the project consists of three actual bridges, the primary bridge over the Nashua River will be about 300-feet long, he said. Dookran is also optimistic that the Broad Street Parkway will remedy traffic backups in the area of Library Hill.
Most of the land acquisitions needed for the road's pathway have been completed, but there are still about 30 pieces of property that could require small land portions to be used, according to Dookran.
The first segment of roadway construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2013, with the project completed at the end of 2014, he added.
Fred Sheldon of Grand Avenue lives within walking distance of the Millyard Technology Park.
"I see all of this historic beauty being destroyed for something that I don't think we really need," said Sheldon, who is concerned about the environmental effects of the roadway construction.
Not only will the road add noise and lights to an otherwise quiet area, Sheldon said that it will change the nature of the city.
Gene Porter, who owns a small motorboat that he takes on the Nashua River, said he generally supports the new roadway, acknowledging that afternoon traffic backups on Broad Street need to be fixed.
The city will bond an estimated $37 million for the Broad Street Parkway, and an additional $30 million in federal funds will be used.
