Just build a classic horseshoe of wood and plaster, and fill it with statuary and curtains, then sit back and savor the beautifully blended results.

Jesse Wood is not quite 100 percent, and he goes out and wrestles a smaller guy and he gets the pin. And Logan Hayman, a freshman going out there and getting a pin in the last match is great. I'm just really proud, considering that we only had eight days of training heading into tonight, that we went out and competed as hard as we did. We've got a lot of work to do, but I'm happy with our effort.

Jesse Wood got a win for us. He's been very consistent and he's wrestled very well. And Jason battled to get a win. Overall, we just didn't compete very well. We are better than what we showed tonight.

Janet has been in the art world for many, many years. She has certainly worked with galleries, but the idea of exhibiting in a home furnishings store, which is so in keeping with what she's doing in her paintings, is a wonderful complement and fresh approach, a twist on the exhibit world. At Rodney Hunter, we specialize in teak wood furniture, so her warm tones enliven our pieces, and our furniture, as elegant as it is, elevates her work.

People always talk about having two different swings, an aluminum bat swing and a wood swing. It is one of those things where you have to make an adjustment. But if you want to play at this level you have to be able to do that.

I think history is going to repeat itself. We brought a little of the beach-into-the-casual dining concept and now we're doing the same thing amongst all the marble with our wood floors. We have 25,000 rooms within a couple of blocks of us, so we're right there nestled amongst the big guys.

It would be nice if we could avoid that kind of thing, but when you're making an action movie it's par for the course.

We've got the best bid, we're excited about Champion, it's a company that fits very well with International Paper ( IP : Research , Estimates ). They're headquartered very close to our headquarters. Their businesses fit very well with ours - big printing papers business, an important wood and timber business - and they've got a nice, nice position in Brazil, as well as a position in Canada. We see $425 million in merger benefits from putting two U.S. organizations together.

When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

We didn't really didn't lay the wood to the ball today.

While plantation forests are an extremely valuable resource and will undoubtedly supply an increasing portion of wood and fiber needs in the future, they should not be considered a substitute for the region's dwindling natural forests.

When I was eight, I bought my first puppet. It was a monkey, and I paid five cents for it. I collected some scrap wood and built myself a puppet theatre. I made 32 cents with my first show, which I thought was pretty good, and that's when I knew I would be a puppeteer when I grew up.

Salem is lucky because we don't have any significant high rises. Low-rise buildings seem to fair better. We seem to have lots of single- and two-story buildings, which all fare well. Most of the structures in the city are framed with wood, which seem resistant in the event of an earthquake. Older, steel buildings tend to fall apart quicker. Wood is flexible. Salem would probably fare very well, other than the downtown area.
