Cleveland vs Pittsburgh, nothing in the NFL sounds more violent, passionate and more appropriate. Two Rust Belt blue-collar, working-class cities that simply hate each other.
Hate is a polite word whenever the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns play, and another dark chapter was added back in Week 6 when Steelers LB, James Harrison would lead with his helmet knocking Browns wide receiver, Joshua Cribbs out of the game with a concussion.
Harrison would also lead with helmet again and give Browns wide receiver, Mohamed Massaqoui a concussion in the following play, Pittsburgh would go on to win 28-10, spoiling Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback, Colt McCoy's one touchdown, 281 yard NFL debut.
For The 5-10 Cleveland Browns and their fans, Sunday has come down to this; ruining Pittsburgh's playoff seeding and improving upon their win total from one year ago.
For Pittsburgh, they hope to win up in Cleveland and along with a loss by bitter rival, Baltimore to Cincinnati at home would give the 11-4 Pittsburgh Steelers a much-needed bye for themselves.
Without question, Pittsburgh needs and wants this game for a variety of reason, but the main reason is to give starters such as strong safety, Troy Polamalu a chance to heal up and come back in time for the playoffs.
Pittsburgh would also love to exact some revenge on Cleveland for knocking them out of the playoffs last year as the Browns would sack Pittsburgh Steelers QB, Ben Roethlisberger, eight times in a 13-6 win that would all but dash Pittsburgh's playoff hopes last year.
While some will argue that the reason why Pittsburgh lost to Cleveland was mainly due to the absence of Polamalu, Cleveland played with literally four players they signed as street agents and played with mostly practice squad guys.
That was 2009 and this is now 2011 and the Browns are playing for nothing more than pride and possibly Eric Mangini's job as the Browns who were once the talk of the NFL after upsetting NFL heavyweights, New England and New Orleans in back-to-back weeks has since gone 2-5 in their last seven games including losses to NFL doormats, Buffalo and Cincinnati have really cast doubt about Mangini's future in Cleveland.
For Pittsburgh, locking up the #2 seed in the AFC playoffs not only means a bye and getting Polamalu back, but will also give Pittsburgh time to heal and get all of it's other players healthy in time for a expected deep run in the playoffs and another shot and Steelers nemesis, Tom Brady in Foxborough with a trip to the Super Bowl most likely at stake.
Enjoy the game and check back in for live updates. Happy New Year.

As the sinkhole on Weber Avenue in Lackawanna widened, Sharon Kysor became more concerned that someone might twist an ankle stepping into it.
Kysor called the city and figured a road crew would be dispatched to fix the hole, which measured about 3 feet in diameter and 6 inches deep.
Little did she know she'd end up in court and ordered to pay $2,000 for the repair.
Even worse, the sinkhole now appears to be returning – leaving Kysor with the sinking feeling she might have to shell out even more cash to fix the problem a second time.
"If it was fixed, it wouldn't happen. If it was fixed it should be totally perfect and it's not. It's happening again," she said.
Sinkholes have been leaving an impression on other city streets, as well, causing Lackawanna Mayor Geoffrey M. Szymanski to question whether the sewer system is being properly maintained.
The Erie County Division of Sewerage Management is responsible for about 1,000 miles of sewer pipes throughout the county, including in Lackawanna.
But as with local water systems, homeowners are expected to pay for repairs to lateral lines that connect into the county's main sewer pipes.
A test on the Weber Avenue sinkhole – in which dyed water was poured into the hole while cameras in the pipes tracked where it flowed – revealed a leak in the lateral line from Kysor's home, said Joseph Fiegl, deputy commissioner for the Division of Sewerage Management.
County engineers determined that a crack in the lateral pipe was the likely cause of erosion underneath the pavement that led to the sinkhole, Fiegl said.
But Kysor said the plumber she hired found nothing wrong with her lateral line when he examined it with a scoping device from her house to the main line in the street.
And another licensed engineer said the sinkhole was unlikely to have resulted from a problem with Kysor's lateral line, especially because at least three other sinkholes – albeit less severe ones– formed on the same street.
In addition, the hole seems to be reappearing – Kysor's engineer measured a half-inch depression in the same spot six months after the area was completely dug up, the plumbing replaced and the road repaved – bolstering her contention that the lateral was not the cause.
"Somewhere there's a groundwater issue of some kind that's causing this problem," said Anthony Anderson, the engineer.
Sinkholes have popped up in other parts of the city, too.
Milnor Avenue resident Guy Masocco paid $4,600 to have a lateral line and sinkhole repaired in front of his house.
He later learned that the repaired line went to a neighbor's home, so he sued the city for reimbursement. City Court Judge Louis Violanti decided to split the expense, ordering the city to pay Masocco $2,300. Meanwhile, the city sued the neighbor on Milnor for $1,200.
"It's a mess," said Masocco.
Violanti split up the costs in Kysor's case, too, after the city sued her over the $4,094 bill a private contractor gave the city for work on Weber Avenue.
Kysor, who receives disability and is on a fixed income, ended up paying $2,047.
"They county washed their hands of it. They said they weren't responsible," she said. "I had to use my savings … I don't have the opportunity to go out and make extra money."
Kysor fears she'll have to go through another ordeal if the small divot grows into another sinkhole.
"It's a valid concern," said Anderson. "She doesn't want to end up in court a few years from now because the pavement is opening up again in front of her house."
Szymanski said he's noticed more sinkholes recently, particularly in the 2nd Ward where he lives.
"Why are we having a systematic failure of laterals?" said Szymanski.
In the cases that have gone to City Court, Lackawanna taxpayers ended up paying half the cost of the repairs.
The city turned over ownership of its sewer system to the county in the early 1980s, when Bethlehem Steel closed and property taxes from the plant plunged, leaving a gigantic hole in the city's budget.
The system in the Lackawanna sewer district consists primarily of clay tile piping, which was used prior to the introduction of PVC pipe.
"Generally the sewer system in Lackawanna is of older vintage," said Fiegl. "Generally you do have issues with sinkholes in older communities."

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Joe Mihalich apologized. He said he was trying his best to maintain his composure, but he needed to share the memory. Mihalich knew I had also lost my mother to cancer last autumn. He felt that might make it easier to relate.
Early in February, Niagara was in a three-game losing spiral after starting the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference season with a 10-1 record. The Purple Eagles were without the injured Antoine Mason, and Mihalich could feel the season slipping away.
They were tied at Marist with two seconds to play when sophomore point guard Juan'ya Green rose up for a potential game-winning jump shot.
"I'm standing right behind Juan'ya," Mihalich recalled, "and I have the direct line to the basket. He takes the shot, and I'm like, 'Ah, it's off. It's off. We're going to overtime'. I almost started turning around."
His voice began to break as he recalled the moment. "I'm sorry," he said, "but I swear to God … the ball, it just went a little left. I'm telling you, it went a little left there. I'm not lying to you."
Green's shot went in the basket, breaking the losing spell and setting the Eagles back on course. They wound up winning the MAAC regular-season title with a 13-5 record, gaining the top seed in this weekend's conference tournament and earning Mihalich his third Coach of the Year award.
Mihalich believes his mother, Dolores, directed that shot toward the hoop. Dolores, the biggest Niagara fan of all, a woman who for 15 years answered her telephone with the words "Go Purple Eagles!" had lost a nine-year battle with cancer at the start of the basketball season.
"I think about her all the time," Mihalich said Thursday night after receiving his award. "She was around this year. Yeah, she was around."
Who's going to doubt him? For nearly a decade, his mom had defied the odds and laughed in the face of death. In December 2003, Dolores was diagnosed with colon cancer. The doctors said she might have three months to live. It spread to her liver. She survived nearly nine years.
Dolores was in the stands in Buffalo when Niagara won its first MAAC title, in 2005. She saw her son cut down the net and whisper "For you" to her. She was there in Bridgeport in 2007, when he won it again. Last year, she made it to Springfield, but she knew it would be her last MAAC tourney.
"We're checking out of her hotel, and she told me, 'You know, I won't be here next year.' " Mihalich said. "She was ready."
She died at 88 last Nov. 21, just before Thanksgiving. Mihalich said the hospice people knew the end was near because his mom was losing interest in most everything. She told the nurses the only thing that mattered was her six children – and Niagara basketball, her second family.
"It kept her going," Mihalich said. "She inspired and motivated me all the time. All we were trying to do was make baskets and get rebounds. She was walking to get chemo every other week."
Any coach will tell you it's hard to rank his or her favorite seasons. How do you pick one championship over another? How do you compare a fond, distant memory to one that is still unfolding?
Every team has a distinctive personality. But Mihalich said this year was especially meaningful. His team, the youngest in the conference, was picked for fifth in the MAAC. Two years ago, they went 9-23, only his second losing season in his first 13 years on Monteagle Ridge.
But when you lose a parent, you feel more intimately connected to the things they held dear. "I'm telling you," Mihalich said, "I felt like she was there every game. I really did."
Mihalich, a Philadelphia native and the eldest of six children, considered his mother the toughest, most resilient person he had ever known. There was no keeping Dolores down. How could a coach not love a team that reflected those very qualities on a basketball court?
The Purple Eagles came from behind time after time this season. No lead was too large, no obstacle too great. They were at their best in
a crisis. They were 8-2 in the league
in games decided by four or fewer points.
"I don't want to personalize it too much," Mihalich said, "but this team has a will to win. I mean, she had a great will to live."
Mihalich hesitated, fighting the tears. Watching your mother suffer with cancer is a difficult thing. Doing it for nine years had to be excruciating. In a way, I envied him, having the gift of those unanticipated years.
"But you're never ready for it," Mihalich said. "You think you are, but you're never ready."
Mihalich looked up at the ceiling in the Basketball Hall of Fame, which is encircled by black-and-white photos of the game's greats. He said he felt humbled by the coaching award. He said his assistant coaches should be the ones getting recognized.
He has won 264 games at Niagara. He has the most wins of any coach
in MAAC history. Mihalich joins former St. Peter's head man Ted Fiore as the only coaches to win three MAAC men's Coach of the Year awards.
For all his accomplishments, though, Mihalich never seems content. He has the perpetually fretful demeanor of a coach who sees disaster around every corner. Maybe that 23-loss season reminded him that winning can be a fragile and fleeting thing, like life itself.
In a tight, well-balanced MAAC, winning three games in a row will be a huge task for any team. But one thing is certain. Niagara won't go down without a fight. They have an amazing survivor's spirit.
You could say it runs in the family.

Victoria Schultz displays her published cover illustration for 'Princess Charlie and the Unicorn.'
REEDSVILLE -Victoria Schultz has been sketching since she was 4 years old. In elementary school, when everyone was learning how to draw Fred Flintstone, she was creating her own landscape of characters and animals. By the time she graduated from Indian Valley High School, she had taken every art class available.
"Drawing was something that I enjoyed and was a great help to me as an outlet," Schultz said. "I was never good at sports and had few friends, but art was something that I knew I could do and do well. The older I became, the more driven I was to push my imagination."
Continuing on to The Art Institute of York Pennsylvania, she majored in Applied Sciences of Animation and Media Arts Animation. After graduating in 2011, Schultz was contacted by Priscilla Hoffman, a writer from York, to assist in illustrating the first of 15 children's books.
"Several friends had suggested people they knew to do the artwork, but they all failed to produce names and numbers in a timely fashion," Hoffman said. "I went to the Art Institute in York and ... was given Victoria's website and I fell in love with her work. It was perfect for my book."
Schultz's style is based heavily on the fantasy world, varying between digital animation and sketch pieces. However, her talent extends to work inspired by real-life as well, she said.
"I feel there is a style for every mood or occasion and I like staying versatile to keep my work interesting and give it a stronger voice," Schultz said. "I do enjoy fantasy the most, however I cannot denote the importance that life pieces hold since I build fantasy from real-life, making it more believable."
Schultz was shocked when Hoffman contacted her, seemingly out of the blue, she said. Though excited she remained apprehensive, having had others approach her with book ideas but never following through.
After speaking through phone and email, they decided to partner on the project and take a chance on each other, Hoffman said.
"Victoria understood that this was my first book and we might not make a bunch of money, but we were both willing," Hoffman said.
The book was inspired by Hoffman's granddaughter, Charlie. During a family visit, Charlie asked her grandmother to write a story about dragons, unicorns and her cousins, Channing and Kennedy. On Hoffman's return trip, while waiting for a ride to the airport, she wrote Charlie's book titled, "Princess Charlie and the Unicorn."
"I sent Victoria photos of my grandchildren, who are characters in the book, and she did a great job of portraying them by their hair color and round faces," Hoffman said. "The rest was pure imagination. It was like she was reading my mind with the colors and style."
The process for creating the illustrations was rather simple and organic, Schultz said. It started with idea sketches that were developed into full pencil and ink drawings. The images were then scanned, digitally colored and sized for the publisher's use.
"I have sold character designs to one of my former professors and was contacted by a company to assist in making a future cellphone app, but the book 'Princess Charlie and the Unicorn' is one of my proudest achievements," Schultz said.
The book was published in April and can be purchased for $15.19 through Barnes and Noble or for $15.99 through Amazon.com. Work has already begun on the second book and it should be available by the holiday season, Hoffman said.
"I have seen one preliminary illustration for the next book and once again it's perfect," Hoffman said. "I trust Victoria will interpret my words exactly how I would like them to be."
Schultz looks forward to continuing work on the series of children's books and hopes to be employed by a studio in the future.

Infections are illnesses that are caused by germs such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Patients in the hospital are already ill. Exposing them to these germs may make it harder for them to recover and go home.
If you are visiting a friend or loved one, you need to take steps to prevent spreading germs.
The best way to stop the spread of germs is to wash your hands often, stay home if you are sick, and to keep your immunizations up to date.
Clean your hands:
Remind family, friends, and health care providers to wash their hands before entering a patient's room.
To wash your hands:
You may also use alcohol-based hand cleaners (sanitizers) if your hands are not visibly soiled.
Staff and visitors should stay home if they feel sick or have a fever. This helps protect everyone in the hospital.
If you think you were exposed to chickenpox, the flu, or any other infections, stay home.
Remember, what may seem like just a little cold to you can be a big problem for someone who is sick and in the hospital. If you are not sure if it is safe to visit, call your doctor or nurse and ask them about your symptoms before you visit the hospital.
Anybody who visits a hospital patient who has an isolation sign outside their door should stop at the nurses' station before entering the patient's room.
Isolation precautions create barriers that help prevent the spread of germs in the hospital. They are needed to protect you and the patient you are visiting. The precautions are also needed to protect other patients in the hospital.
When a patient is in isolation, visitors may:
Hospital patients who are very old, very young, or very ill are at the greatest risk of harm from infections such as colds and the flu. To prevent getting the flu and passing it to others, get a flu vaccine each year. (Ask your doctor what other vaccines you need.)
When you visit a patient in the hospital, keep your hands away from your face. Cough or sneeze into a tissue or into the crease of your elbow, not into the air.

Cancer Health Center
Hedgehog Drug Helps Late-Stage Cancers
Sept. 2, 2009 -- People with advanced skin and brain cancers -- untreatable by current methods -- improve after treatment with a new oral drug called a hedgehog inhibitor.
Hedgehog is one of the hottest new anticancer targets. During embryonic development and childhood, the signaling molecule nicknamed hedgehog spurs growth processes. But the body turns it off during adulthood. When hedgehog isn't turned off, it promotes the growth of cancer cells.
An experimental drug code-named GDC-0449 by developer Genentech blocks hedgehog. Can it fight cancer?
Some cancer types are particularly dependent on hedgehog. One is basal cell carcinoma, the most common skin cancer in the U.S. Although surgery can cure this cancer in early disease, metastatic disease has no standard treatment and usually is rapidly fatal.
Can GDC-0449 help? In a Genentech-funded study, Daniel D. Von Hoff, MD, of Scottsdale Healthcare and colleagues gave the drug to 33 patients with inoperable metastatic or locally advanced basal cell carcinoma.
"The overall response rate was 55%, with a remarkable response rate of 50% in 18 patients with metastatic disease," University of Michigan researchers Andrzej A. Dlugosz, MD, and Moshe Talpaz, MD, note in an editorial accompanying the study in the Sept. 2 online edition of The New England Journal of Medicine.
Only four of the patients had continued progression of their cancers over the course of the 10-month study. There were relatively few adverse events linked to the treatment.
In another Genentech-funded study published in the same issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, Johns Hopkins researcher Charles M. Rudin, MD, PhD, and colleagues report the treatment of a brain cancer -- medulloblastoma -- with GDC-0449.
Medulloblastoma -- cancer of the part of the brain called the cerebellum -- usually strikes at about age 5 years. But it can strike in early adulthood, too. The patient seen by Rudin and colleagues was 26, and had been fighting the disease for four years. Most people die of this cancer in less than six months.
The man survived extensive surgeries, radiation therapies, and chemotherapies. But at the time he was treated with GDC-0449, scans showed that the cancer had spread painfully throughout his body.

At IFBC Portland this past weekend my great friend Chef John (@foodwishes) and I gave a photography/cooking demo workshop. Hilarity ensued. Add a video camera to the mix among stolen/missing props, blenders we could not operate and the bantering of two bald smart alecs and the three hour program was a laugh a minute. The amazingly enthusiastic audience dubbed the cooking show they would like to see us do some day…"The Chef's Jacket and the Plaid Shirt". We also were given the monikers of "The Baldest Act at IFBC" as well as the "Oldest Boy Band" on record. Good names all. Oddly enough some video has surfaced to add some fuel to that fire. The nice folks at JennAir shot this for their website. IFBC Portland 2012

I finally found a schematic, but no explanation/nomenclature of the parts. Does the part look like a washer?
April 5, 2013, 11:51 PM
Yes, but thicker. I worked on that gun a few years ago.

The Favorite action has no spring or direct means of keeping the lever in the closed position. It depends on the tension of the block against the barrel and the fact that the link pins and the lever screw are past dead center when the lever is closed. The problem is that if there is wear, either at the barrel face or in the linkage, the finger lever flops loose.
I have no idea what brass part Thralldad is talking about, but possibly it is something installed by a previous owner or a gunsmith to take up the slop in the linkage. There are no brass parts in the original gun.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. - The rolling hills and scenic bluffs of western Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota hide a valuable resource that has sparked what's been called a modern-day gold rush.
The object of desire is not gold but a soft sandstone needed by drilling companies to unlock underground natural gas and oil supplies in a controversial practice called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Largely overlooked in the national debate over fracking is the emerging fight in the U.S. heartland over mining "frack sand," which has grains of ideal size, shape, strength and purity. Mining companies say the work provides good jobs in rural areas, but some residents fear the increase in mining could harm human health and the environment.
"More and more people are waking up to the fact that there are difficulties with this massive explosion," said Pat Popple, a retired school teacher and principal and anti-sand mining activist.
U.S. frack sand producers sold or used more than 6.5 million metric tons of sand worth $319 million in 2009, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The tonnage likely will have doubled when 2010 data is released, said Thomas Dolley, a USGS mineral commodity specialist who follows the silica mining industry.
"It's huge," Dolley said. "I've never seen anything like it, the growth. It makes my head spin."
Nearly three-fourths of frack sand comes from the Midwest. It's shipped by rail hundreds of miles to the oil and gas fields of Texas, Pennsylvania and North Dakota, where drillers mix it with water and chemicals, then force it deep underground to fracture shale deposits that hold gas and oil that couldn't be tapped conventionally. Critics say the process can diminish water quality and even cause earthquakes.
John Felmy, chief economist with the American Petroleum Institute, said opponents of hydraulic fracturing are "fundamentally misguided" and the environmental fears are unwarranted. The surge in sand mining has extended the domestic energy boom to portions of the country that don't produce much fuel, bringing jobs and economic development, he said.
Frack sand mining has had a foothold in Wisconsin's Chippewa County since 2008. The most visible sign is the huge new EOG Resources Inc. plant in Chippewa Falls, where a steady parade of shiny new trucks delivers a load of orange sand from a nearby mine every few minutes.
The plant, which still is in the start-up phase, will bring 40 to 50 full-time jobs to the community, while mining contractors now employ about 25 people and the trucking company that delivers the sand has added more than 70 jobs, company spokeswoman K. Leonard said.
But not everyone is excited about the growth. On a recent windy day, Heather Andersen, of Bloomer, another retired schoolteacher turned activist, watched as gusts of 30 to 40 mph blew dust off sand piled up at the Superior Silica Sands LLC mine northwest of Chippewa Falls. She said she saw no signs the mine kept the sand watered down to suppress the dust.
"That stuff you see is not dangerous," Andersen said. "It's the stuff you can't see."

In this episode, Steve and Wade are joined by Scott Guthrie—Corporate Vice President at Microsoft—who walks them through some recent updates to the Windows Azure SDK & Tools. In particular, Scott highlights new ways to easily create and publish applications directly from Visual Studio.
In the news:
For the tip of the week, both Steve and Wade posted tips for managing the .publishsettings file for certificate management:
Oops, something didn't work.
That's great! thank for sharing :)
one day soon, I am hoping to install and run Orchard on Windows Azure, plus run some background services for my Windows Phone 7 application.... I am glad to see that things are getting easier. Keep up the excellent work!
Great show! Just took the new publish dialog for a test drive and worked like a champ. I'm hoping next week's show discusses the future of Azure AppFabric as I just received an email this morning regarding the discontinuation of the CTP.
Steve and Wade: You are the zenith of our species. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but I'm pretty sure this fact represents either the dawn of new era of prosperity for humans or the beginning of the end! May god (BG) have mercy on our wretched souls!

Stetson led for much of the first half and only trailed by six points with five and a half minutes to go, but USF pulled away late for 70-48 victory Saturday afternoon at the Sun Dome.
Jama Sharp, Shanasa Sanders, and Cherisse Burris each scored 10 points for the Hatters (0-2), who were playing their second game in as many days to start the season. Stetson was without the services of senior Victoria McGowan for the first time in her two-plus seasons with the Hatters.
"I was obviously much happier with the first half," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I think their pressure really got to us. I think having Simone Taylor in foul trouble hurt us, because she helps us break the press. We really couldn't afford for her or Jama to be out of the game without Victoria."
A tightly contested first half featured five ties and five lead changes, with the Bulls (1-0) taking a one-point lead into the intermission.
A three-point play by Burris and a three-pointer from Ashley Dennis gave Stetson an early second half lead at 38-37. But USF scored the next 11 points and never relinquished the lead after that run. The Bulls picked up 14 steals in the game and scored 22 points off of turnovers.
"I think they wore us down a bit in the second half. They just kept the heat on, which was the right thing to do, because we didn't handle their press very well," Bria said. "I felt like we didn't have the crucial turnovers in the first half, the back court turnovers where they were getting easy lay-ups. That really hurt us.
"Against a team like USF, when they get up by double digits, it's hard to come back, because their athleticism makes them hard to press. I thought that if we stayed with them, we would have a chance, but we had trouble scoring."
The Hatters shot 26 percent for the game and hit just four field goals in the second half.
Stetson will play its home opener on Friday against Florida A&M. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at the Edmunds Center. Free live video will be available on HatterVision.
Notes: Janelle Mills played her 99th career game … Victoria McGowan had played and started in 68 consecutive games since the start of her sophomore year ... Shanasa Sanders played her sixth career game against USF … Simone Taylor made her first start since 2011 and led the team with seven rebounds ... Amena Brent played eight minutes in her first collegiate game ... Sasha Sims recorded a block for the sixth straight game dating back to last year.

LOS ANGELES — Ben Affleck's "Argo," a film about a fake movie, has earned a very real prize: best picture at the Academy Awards.
From the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama joined Jack Nicholson to help present the final prize.
"There are eight great films that have every right, as much a right to be up here as we do," Affleck said of the other best-picture nominees.
In share-the-wealth mode, Oscar voters spread Sunday's honors among a range of films, with "Argo" winning three trophies but "Life of Pi" leading with four.
Daniel Day-Lewis joined a select group of recipients with his third Oscar, taking the best-actor trophy for his monumental performance as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War saga "Lincoln."
"Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence triumphed in Hollywood's big games, winning the best actress as a damaged soul in "Silver Linings Playbook," while Ang Lee pulled off a huge upset as best director for "Life of Pi."
Anne Hathaway went from propping up leaden sidekick James Franco at the Academy Awards to hefting a golden statue of her own with a supporting-actress Oscar win as a doomed mother-turned-prostitute in the musical "Les Miserables."
Christoph Waltz won his second supporting-actor Oscar for a Tarantino film, this time as a genteel bounty hunter in the slave-revenge saga "Django Unchained." Tarantino also won his second Oscar, for original screenplay for "Django."
Ang Lee pulled off a major upset, won best director for the shipwreck story "Life of Pi," taking the prize over Steven Spielberg, who had been favored for "Lincoln."
Lawrence took a fall on her way to the stage, tripping on the steps.
"You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell," Lawrence joked as the crowd gave her a standing ovation.
At 22, Lawrence is the second-youngest woman to win best actress, behind Marlee Matlin, who was 21 when she won for "Children of a Lesser God."
Lawrence also is the third-youngest best-actress contender ever, earning her first nomination at age 20 two years ago for her breakout role in "Winter's Bone," the film that took her from virtual unknown to one of Hollywood's most-versatile and sought-after performers.
With a monumental performance as Abraham Lincoln, Day-Lewis became the only performer to win three best-actor Oscars, adding to the honors he earned for "My Left Foot" and "There Will Be Blood."
He's just the sixth actor to earn three or more Oscars, tied with Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Ingrid Bergman and Walter Brennan with three each, and just behind Katharine Hepburn, who won four.
Hathaway, whose perkiness helped carry her and the listless Franco through an ill-starred stint as Oscar hosts two years ago, is the third performer in a musical to win supporting actress during the genre's resurgence in the last decade.
"It came true," said Hathaway, who joins 2002 supporting-actress winner Catherine Zeta-Jones for "Chicago" and 2006 recipient Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls." Hathaway had warm thanks for "Les Miz" co-star Hugh Jackman, with whom she once sang a duet at the Oscars when he was the show's host.
Hathaway's Oscar came for her role as noble but fallen Fantine in the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway smash that was based on Victor Hugo's epic novel of revolution, romance and redemption in 19th century France.
"Life of Pi" also won for Mychael Danna's multicultural musical score that blends Indian and Western instruments and influences, plus cinematography and visual effects.
"I really want to thank you for believing this story and sharing this incredible journey with me," Lee said to all who worked on the film, a surprise blockbuster about a youth trapped on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger.
A veteran performer in Germany and his native Austria, Waltz had been a virtual unknown in Hollywood when Tarantino cast him as a gleefully evil Nazi in 2009's "Inglourious Basterds," which won him his first Oscar.
"I have to cast the right people to make those characters come alive," said Tarantino, who won previously for "Pulp Fiction. "And boy, this time, did I do it. Thank you so much, guys."
Waltz has since done a handful of other Hollywood movies, but it's Tarantino who has given him his two choicest roles. Backstage, Waltz had a simple explanation for why the collaboration works.
"Quentin writes poetry, and I like poetry," Waltz said.
Oscar host Seth MacFarlane opened with a mildly edgy monologue that offered the usual polite jabs at the academy, the stars and the industry.
He took a poke at academy voters over the snub of Affleck, who missed out on a directing nomination for best-picture favorite "Argo," a thriller about the CIA's plot to rescue six Americans during the Iranian hostage crisis.
"The story was so top secret that the film's director is unknown to the academy," MacFarlane said. "They know they screwed up. Ben, it's not your fault."
"Argo" also claimed the Oscar for adapted screenplay for Chris Terrio.

text: The Illinois civil justice system has a well-deserved reputation as lawsuit friendly, with people flocking here from other states to file their junk lawsuits in the hopes of winning big playing the lawsuit lottery.This flood of frivolous lawsuits into our civil justice system results in clogged courts and delays compensation for people with legitimate claims from being made whole in a timely manner.A serious problem in Illinois, though, is about to get worse. The Illinois House is considering legislation that if enacted in its current form will further delay people from being made whole by making it more difficult for parties to settle a lawsuit.Senate Bill 1912 will discourage settlements and burden the courts with cases parties would otherwise settle by imposing statutory deadlines the parties cannot realistically meet, and therefore will force them to litigate their cases.This legislation is flying in under the radar. While the media and lawmakers are consumed with big ticket items such as pension reform and concealed carry legislation, personal injury lawyers are quietly pushing this dangerous legislation. Illinois residents deserve to get justice in our courts in a timely manner, but SB 1912 will hurt � not help � the ability of Illinois residents to get a speedy resolution to their disputes.Call your legislators today and urge them to oppose Senate Bill 1912!###

Council OKs zoning for apartments

City council voted Tuesday to rezone two sections of a 67....

That's like me planning my life as a billionaire. You can waste a lot of time planning for something that isn't coming while opportunity runs right by you.

It is called planning Grant. With well thought out plans you don't end up with spot zoning and no place to put things that come up in the future.
4 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If there is a need for commercial space in the future, you're nuts to think that land around town won't be bought up and annexed in. Until there is a need for it, it won't happen...because the market dictates that.

The market dictates this. Give me a list of companies lining up to do business here? How about we just let this oil and gas stuff work itself out and we might be just fine. What other hope do you have? Your other ideas are utopian, some unrealistic idea that people will see Salem the same way you do. If you want to argue against low income housing then fine, but if your argument revolves around needing commercial space then you lose the argument very quickly.

concerned asks "One could just as easily ask where are they going to get an additional 90+ Low income families to fill up these apartments?? Youngstown???"
Those already inside of town, the areas that will soon be vacant and open up the doors to crime, drugs and scumbags of Youngstown and God only knows where else.
Our local government has made a HUGE MISTAKE for our area, our schools and communities.

This LOW INCOME project fiasco is only GROWING POVERTY, weakening our median income levels and growing crime. There is no BALANCED GROWTH. Available JOBS demand HOUSING. Until we stop playing these stupid games it will never get better. We have to strengthen the economic balance not weaken it.
I bet NRP laughed their butts off each and every time they walked out of that Council Chamber. "We have a good reputation," she said." Yep you sure do. You have been in this business a long time and you know exactly how to search out "FAILING CITIES" and profit from it.

I don't think Salem has an over all long range plan.
It needs to fiz up the downtown area, Attract certain clientel
Get rid of the towns eye soars,
Set a good zoning policy
Needs a motel ,like yesterday
Find ways to attact some industry

In away your correct.
The'll build this ,Fill them up and something else will go empty.
Seems like thats Salem's therory. Get 12 pizza shops in town and sooner or later 2 or 3 close. Why do we need 4 auto parts wharehouses in town ??
Your right. " Over kill "

Ladybug you are missing my point. I am sure they will fill them up. You say 50% of the city would qualify. Are these people homeless now? If not who is going to occupy the homes that they are currently occupying now? Will we just have more empty houses in town which will add to our blight, or will more low income people move in from other areas into those homes? I think jobs are what Salem needs. It takes businesses to provide jobs reducing the amount of available commercially zoned property is counter productive.

Wise zoning looks into the future not at the present need. Poor planning and zoning is what puts mixed usage in various neighborhoods. Industrial in residential, commercial in residential etc.

Starvos, the "Projects"are NOT the issue! They are coming . The issue is giving up commercial - zoned land that could have been used for business that hire people out of work, even those who might live in the next door "Projects"

Stavros Please explain how reducing the amount of land available for commercial usage in favor of low income subsidized housing is going to help economic growth. Also please explain the wisdom of sinking thousands of dollars in infrastructure and selling it as something that will encourage commercial development and then change the zoning of that area to accommodate low income housing.

Well it never ceases to amaze me when people actually agree with Clyde Brown. Mr Brown wants no growth for this city other than what he and his friends deem to be right. People who live in those apartments spend money in Salem,and many who work will be paying taxesin Salem. Is Brown against progress??? Sure looks like it. But why should that surprise any of us!!!
0 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Concerned, you are right on!. The land is along Pershing St. and could have been used for future job locations and commercial growth.Another lost opportunity for Salem after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on nothing more than a quicker route to Walmart and the upcoming "Projects".

"Mr. Brown was right about this one"
Too bad the rest of them could not see that reducing the amount of commercially zoned property did not promote commercial growth! Not quite sure where exactly this property lies but I think it might be in the vicinity of the Pershing Street extension we just spent taxpayers dollars to build so we could have more commercial development in that area. Anyone know for sure?
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Apartments are a business. If a **** shop wanted to locate in the same spot how fast do you think the city would find a way to shut down the project? Cities have to bring in more and more things to tax. Cities are failures and nothing will change that.It doesn't matter what the residents think.
6 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Mr. Brown was right about this one. Giving up land that could be used for commercial use and more jobs to a HUD project that was going to be there anyway is poor planning. Salem keeps shooting itself in the foot and everywhere else. Stay tuned!

Joined at the venue by hubby Gavin Rossdale and the couple's two kids, Zuma and Kingston, the clan checked out Steve Erle and Pete Black's Exposure 2 exhibit, hosted by Prévu sparkling liqueur.
"Gavin wouldn't start walking around without holding Gwen's hand," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "They couldn't have been sweeter. They were playing with their kids the entire time and [seemed] so doting. Kingston was embarrassed getting his photo taken. It was very cute. Zuma was laughing and his dad was holding him."
Meanwhile, Lauren Conrad made her new relationship with rocker William Tell public at the event, as the two were "walking around holding hands," the source says. "There was a long line [to get into the event] and the couple didn't [seem to] mind waiting in it. They were laughing the entire time and were so cute."

4 Reality Shows Too Awesome to Actually Exist
#2. "Stop Filming Me I Do Not Want to Be On This Show": The Show!
In a Nutshell
A camera crew follows a guy around everywhere, forever, even after he refuses to stay on the show.
This is definitely my most straightforward pitch. Step one is getting a guy to agree to be on a reality show. So he'd sign all of the waivers that grant permission to a TV crew to follow him around, and then you drive him crazy. It's, admittedly, more of a sociological experiment than a reality show.
"Hey! Is this a date? Does this girl have anything to do with all those Valtrex bottles we found in your garbage?"
The thing about most reality shows is that all of the people who go on those shows WANT to be seen. They want to be on TV, they want some vague notion of fame and they specifically want to be known for what mostly equates to bullshit. I'm sick of watching those people drink and fart around on my television; I want to see someone else, because the kind of person who doesn't want to be a famous reality TV personality is infinitely more interesting to me than the kind of person who does.
Also, once the guy realizes that the film crew won't stop filming him even after he's said he no longer wants to be a part of the project, the show then becomes about this guy's desperate attempts to evade a highly skilled film crew. It's like a reality show about people chasing after Bigfoot, except we KNOW that our guy is real.
"He's screaming and running toward us with a hatchet, make sure to get that!"
Why It Probably Won't Ever Be Made
I am certain that this is illegal.
#1. Celebrities Being Useful
In a Nutshell
Dimwitted celebutantes must perform selfless and creative acts of kindness and charity (or, alternately, invent something that will help humankind), or they get kicked off the island or whatever.
There are only three different kinds of reality TV show: 1) people live in a house and do bullshit together; 2) people have interesting jobs that most other people know very little about; 3) horrible celebrities are horrible all the time. I understand why the first two breeds of show are popular, but I'll never totally understand why we're supposed to be entertained by famous people who are only famous for being reality TV stars. There's a chicken/egg thing happening that I'll never fully grasp. One day I'm going to have to explain to my grandkids why I know who Paris Hilton is, and every time I practice that conversation in my head, I sound like an idiot.
"You see, she's very RICH. She's not a porn star, but at one point she had sex with a guy who ALSO wasn't famous, and it was a HUGE DEAL, because they filmed it, and I got to see it. Is- does that clear anything up?"
I'm sick of parading a bunch of people around who are famous for being famous and calling it entertainment. I've never been to Kardashia, so I don't know a whole lot about the swarthy, terrifying, Amazonian women it produces. I just know that they are all 60 percent butt, have a pathological inability to stop partying and will wilt if they're not on television for longer than two months.
"One of them also had sex with somebody else on camera, and it was also a big deal, but no, she's not a porn star, but yes, it still made her famous somehow."
So let's take advantage of these celebutantes' needy desire to be on television. Put them on a reality show where, every week, they either need to perform some incredible act of charity or they need to invent something that will change the world, and if they don't, they get kicked off the show and they won't be famous anymore. It's as simple as that. A reality show where the challenge for the cast of Jersey Shore isn't "Try to hold down a SIMPLE JOB FOR MORE THAN FIVE HOURS," it's "Fix global warming."
Why It Probably Won't Ever Be Made
It turns out celebrities aren't actually good at anything.

Mitte, whose AMC series just won best drama at the Emmys on Sunday, began celebrating a little early.
Popping into the HBO Luxury Lounge in Beverly Hills on Friday with his mom, Mitte sipped on Baileys Irish Cream and was heard by an onlooker saying jokingly, "Now that I'm 21, I want shots of Baileys all day long."
Even though Mitte is the famous one, his mom didn't walk away without some VIP treatment of her own. Her son scooped up a fancy pair of earrings from Pandora jewelry for her.

Google Play Store fails again on Nexus 4 sales traffic, Nexus sold out

The Nexus 4 16GB has been removed from my cart at least a dozen times. It's an absolute mess.
38. joseph98 (Posts: 167; Member since: 03 Feb 2012)
Same happened to me. But finnaly I mastered google store. I opened 4 browsers... chrome, ie, opera and firefox . I kept refreshing the page with f5. After I add the phone my shopping cart disappeared but finally I could place my order for the Nexus 4, 16GB. They charged me handling fees $13.99 for 2 days shipping.... Total was $394.xx . It took me 3 hours to finally go throught with my order. I failed the last time ( 2 weeks ago) but this time I got it, you've got to keep trying to buy this Nexus. I felt for a moment as if it is for free being that hard to get.
My winner browser for this task was google chrome.

Yeah, but as part of the sheepple herd, it's michael's job to make it look like it's all because of Google as if they were intentionally blocking people from buying the phone. You'd think that on a tech site people would know how unstable servers can be when a mass of people are trying to get on at the same time. This shows that the phone is in extremely high demand. ;)

You have got to be kidding me. I am so sick of people trying to paint me as an Apple fanboy because I don't make excuses when Google screws up.
Yes, servers can crash when under high strain, but there are also plenty of ways to avoid that problem. No matter how many people are crashing Amazon on Black Friday, the site doesn't have these issues. Even Twitter has gotten rid of the fail whale in its most high stress moments.
Google has more servers available than most companies in the world, and saw exactly what to expect and what the problems were 2 weeks ago, but still had the same exact problems. And, I'm the one who's biased because I'm annoyed at the company?
I never said anything to insinuate that Google was "intentionally blocking people", that's your own bias talking. All I said was that it's unacceptable for Google to have a repeat failure like this.
35. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)

Amazon and Twitter are used to masses of people coming onto their site for those purposes, Amazon for making purchases, etc. and Twitter for social networking. Look at all the services that are available from Google.
They didn't run into these problems with the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 because they were guaranteed to be in several retail stores/carriers, the Nexus 4 is strictly from the Play Store and T-Mo. at this time. Think of the traffic that stores AND their sites took away from Google's own page for the other Nexus devices.
You're biased simply because of how you speak about each company - you write articles about apple for the smallest thing that has to do with them and here you're bashing Google as if it is entirely their fault. LG has no no fault whatsoever for manufacturing the actual phone itself? Really?
I had said "to make it look like it's all because of Google as if they were intentionally blocking people from buying the phone", SUGGESTING that you're putting ALL, emphasis on ALL, the blame on Google without thinking about any other possibility of why this is happening or at least that's what you're making it out to be. Must be my bias, huh.
When you say "All I said was that it's unacceptable for Google to have a repeat failure like this." it further proves bias because I've not seen a single time when you've written an article about a mistake from apple (because it's perfect, right?) to begin with and Google is partially to blame for this and you're trying this hard to bash it on top of putting it, and only it, at fault.
53. SGSatlantis (Posts: 226; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)

The difference is, as an Android user, I'm ready to call Google out on this. It was unacceptable. It took me three anda half hours to get my order in. The first two hours, the phone kept disappearing from my cart. It was amateur hour, and very frustrating.
Now, if it happened with Apple, as you said, there would be Apple supporters here making 1001 excuses, and most would claim it never happened, and that it was just the media and fandroids perpetuating the myth.

well for the price of the nexus 4 you could have 3 nokia asha's and have change whats your point. the only thing the nexus has as its major selling point is its cheap. besides the note 2 is worth the extra cash as its a better phone/phablet however you wanna class it

Really? Sold out every freaking day and the only way of getting one is paying 500-600 and thats just the 8gb model on ebay. No I thought about getting the Nexus 4 but with it being sold out all the time, I got sick of waiting. I wanted the Note 2 anyway and im very happy with my purchase. Now keep waiting and hoping you can buy the Nexus 4 tomorrow.

Note is too big for my purpose, the Lumia isn't for me and I wouldn't spend $0.01 on an iPhone.

I just got mine. I experienced the problems described here, but I let my order stay in my cart and eventually it went thru. So if you're in that situation, don't close the browser window. Keep trying! Good luck!

Hilarious. The executive that made this lame-brain decision to sell the nexus 4 at a 0% return on profit will undoubtedly be shown the door. Using a conservative estimate, the loss of (potential) income is $1 billion ($200 x 5,000,000 units)

How do you know what Google paid for the phone in the first place. I am sure LG gave them a good price. Plus now more people will be apart of the Android eco-system. I have an iphone but now one of these so looks like I am going to buy some Android apps....etc.

My order just went through after 5 hours! So the phone isn't sold out.

I was very lucky. I got two 16 gb models. I was using chrome and I hit the site right when they opened up the website. I hate to say this because a lot of people struggled but I had no problems and got the confirmation email shipping in 1-2 weeks right away.
I am surprised that Google did not fix these issues better to make it easier for most. They must of known that demand would be very high because of its price. I am glad its on its way soon. I have an old HTC Aria that I bought as a backup because my Nexus S died. The HTC Aria is cute but I am going to go blind using it since the screen is small.

I just placed an order for 2 nexus 4's. I had added two to my cart around 3pm ET and kept refreshing, etc and than gave up. I put my laptop to sleep and just opened it now and looked at the cart and there were the two phones. I was able to put the order through. It did show 7-8 weeks on shipping so I guess it will be a while though

Committee broaches part-time officers topic
June 11, 2013
SALEM — City officials plan to study the idea of hiring part-time police officers to reduce overtime costs and keep full-time officers from being overworked during short staffing periods....
I think I'm gonna stop reading the paper online--all this is depressing and frustrating to find out about--I liked being ignorant and naive better. But honestly now, I really do hope some people in charge read some of these comments and act accordingly. Or is that still naive?

@questioner wages are a matter of public knowledge for city employees. You can go to city hall and request all of them.
Here's a good question, why is there an asst. supervisor in the Utilities Dept? The thought was THE supervisor was soon to retire. In the meantime, since he hasn't for oh, 3 yrs. or so, the city has been paying an ASST. utilities supervisor more than the police or fire chief makes. Yeah, the asst. to the water and sewer dept. makes more than the safety forces chiefs. (So that means THE supervisor makes EVEN MORE!!!) You can ask at city hall, it's public knowledge, they have to tell you. YOU pay for this!!! So one would surmise, if they are bringing the street dept. foreman's wages up to comparable the utility dept, that guy is going to make more than the police & fire chief as well. PRIORITIES!!!! You get what you pay for. If there's no incentive to take the job, you'll get people with no incentive working the job!!!

12.10 per hour?I'd think a police officer would make more than that.Something is wrong with this picture.

Keep spending .It won't belong and they'll be needing a tax hike .

A part-time patrolman would make $12.10 per hour,a full-time officer making $15.09 per hour gets an overtime rate of $22.63
the street foreman's pay is $24.04 per hour
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The mayor raised the street foreman'a pay $2.45/hr after looking at what the others in the utilities dept were making. "The increase will take the street foreman's pay to $24.04 per hour and cost the city an additional $196 per pay, which equates to more than $5,000 per year." $24/hour? How much is everyone else making? Either I'm out of touch, totally in the wrong business, or else this is a really lot of money. Is the pay for utilities dept exceptionally high? (If not, tell me.)

Eating out? Watch for trans fat
Posted: 12:25 PM EDT Oct 25, 2013
By Mayo Clinic News Network
Have you been trying to keep foods that contain trans fat out of your kitchen? Good move! But what about when you're eating in a restaurant?
Some restaurants still use trans fat when frying food. For example, a large serving of french fries at some fast-food restaurants might contain 5 grams or more of trans fat.
When dining out, read menu labels or ask the staff for nutritional information. Arm yourself with the details you need to order wisely.
