NFL Week 8 Preview: Falcons at Eagles
at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (3-3)
Kickoff: Sunday, 1:00 p.m. EDT
Line: Philadelphia -3, Total: 45
Atlanta tries to remain the NFL's lone unbeaten team when it flies north to Philadelphia on Sunday.
Both these squads are coming off a bye week. The Eagles are desperately trying to right their ship, and they fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo during the off week. On the other side of the ball, the Philly is still trying to rectify Michael Vick's turnover problems (NFC-high 13 giveaways) and poor offensive line play. The Falcons have actually been better on the road this year, where they're 3-0 SU and ATS. They will be matching up against a very good Eagles pass defense that is allowing the lowest completion percentage in the NFL (52.7%). Falcons QB Matt Ryan did not look sharp in their last game, a home win over Oakland, throwing three interceptions.
Will the Falcons finally lose a game? For the answer, connect to The Platinum Sheet for all the StatFox Experts picks for every NFL game throughout the 2012 season and playoffs.
Ryan ranks fourth in the NFL in passer rating (98.8) and sixth in passing yards (293 YPG), throwing 14 TD and 6 INT. He had an eventful day last year against the Eagles, completing 17-of-28 passes for 195 yards, a career-high-tying 4 TD and 2 INT. Ryan has done a phenomenal job using his top three receivers who each have 4 TD catches for the season, WR Roddy White (553 rec yds), TE Tony Gonzalez (430 rec yds) and WR Julio Jones (376 rec yds). The two wideouts had just 52 combined yards in last year's meeting with Philly, but Gonzalez caught seven passes for 83 yards and 2 TD. The Falcons running game has been dreadful in 2012, with the fourth-fewest rushing yards in the NFL (87 rush YPG). Leading rusher Michael Turner has just 100 rushing yards on 29 carries (3.4 YPC) in the past two games. However, Turner gained 146 total yards with the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter of last year's win over Philly. Defensively, the potential absence of CB Asante Samuel (foot), who played with the Eagles last year, could really hurt Atlanta's 12th-ranked pass defense going up against a talented receiving corps. The Falcons will also have a hard time stopping LeSean McCoy on the ground, considering they allow the fifth-most rushing yards in the NFL (144 rush YPG). Atlanta is adept at creating turnovers though, as its 17 takeaways rank fourth in the NFL.
The Eagles are an incredible 13-0 SU coming off a bye week under Andy Reid. Vick started against his old team for the first time last year, but left the game in the third quarter after suffering a concussion from a big hit. He finished that matchup 19-for-28 for 242 yards, 2 TD and 1 INT, while adding 25 rushing yards on six carries. Like most players, Vick is much more comfortable at home, completing 65% of his passes for 923 yards, 4 TD and 4 INT, plus another 142 yards on the ground in three games in Philly. Considering how poorly Atlanta defends the run, Vick will probably use his legs much more than he did last year. That also means a heavy dose of LeSean McCoy, who gained 116 total yards with a pair of second-half touchdown runs against the Falcons last year. McCoy had a horrible game before the bye week, gaining just 22 yards on 14 carries, plus 26 yards on seven catches. He has been playing on an injured ankle, and some of his offensive linemen have also been banged up, but the whole group will be healthier coming off the bye. Despite the firing of Castillo, and subsequent promotion of secondary coach Todd Bowles, the Eagles defense hasn't been terrible, ranking 15th in passing yards (226 YPG) and 14th against the run (105 YPG). The biggest problem has been the lack of turnovers, as Philly has just two takeaways in the past four games. Some of that also stems from a weak pass rush that has tallied just seven sacks all year.

Sad news today, as reports note that Robin Gibb, one-third of the Bee Gees, is reportedly close to death, suffering from health problems stemming from a blocked bowel he suffered nearly two years ago, along with colon cancer which was reportedly in remission a month ago. His twin brother, Maurice, died of a simliar condition nine years ago. Robin is reportedly in a coma, with his family at his side. Robin, along with Maurice and Barry, emerged from Australia to become one of the biggest music acts of the 1960s and 1970s, with a lengthy career spanning over four decades. Fingers crossed that he can hold on a bit longer.

"GAH!" Gaspard and Foster turned around, shocked to see Connor scream in pain as a Seviper had managed to bite down on his leg. "Co-nnor!" "Aipopom!" both of them scream in unison as they watch their trainer in pain from the Poison Fang, with the Seviper's poison most likely going in his bloodstream now. With Gaspard looking worried right now, he immediately tried to approach Connor and try to get the Seviper off him, but Foster interrupts. "Wait, Gas-pard. Let's leave him to Ma-ri-on," the Shuppet said to him. Naturally, Gaspard complained about what Foster said. "I don't like this ei-ther, but we still five o-ther Se-vi-pers to wo-rry about. We don't rea-lly want to have them poi-son Keith and Ma-ri-on as well," Foster calmly said to him even though deep inside he was seething with rage against the Sevipers. It took a while, but Gaspard reluctantly agrees with Foster.
Meanwhile, Connor himself was too bothered by the Seviper on him to give out orders, leaving Gaspard and Foster to act on their own. Gaspard was already thinking of a rather Nasty Plot to get back at the Sevipers as he waited for Marion to recall Sakura before he could unleash another Swift attack "All of you are go-ing to pay dear-ly for that," Foster spat out as he Psyched himself Up with Gaspard and unleashed a Psychic attack against one of the Seviper.

I love Superman 4, it's one of my favorite movies and gave me the most joy as a kid, hell I just finished watching it again today
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." - Conan
Incorrect. Batman and the Outsiders was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
But, the problem with looking at either BatO or DKR, for Superman inspiration, is that those are both largely BATMAN, stories. In both, Superman plays a support role/plot device. I really have no issue with how Superman was portrayed in DKR, because it wasn't his story. I wouldn't, however, be interested in reading that same version of a character in his own book.
So I can understand some of the concern regarding Snyder's DKR comments.
DC: Action Comics - Batman and... - Batman - Justice League
Marvel: All-New X-Factor
LOLs were had.Nope, not gonna happen. If you like DKR then you don't like or get Superman in my book. That's the way I see it.
You sound like you need therapy if thats how much you obsess over Miller's Batstories. He's hardly the first one to call him that. If anything you're a jerk for saying I don't get or like Superman for liking DKR. There are multiple interpretations of Superman and they'll equally valid, you seem to only like your interpretation and think that it's the only one that can exist and all fans of the other are not "real" fans. The "real" fan argument shows that you're not a logical fan, but an illogical nostalgic fanboy.
The name Clark Kent is way more iconic than Kal.
I address Superman as Kal, but most people know Superman as Clark Kent and calling Superman Clark is perfectly fine.
Anyone who would have a problem with people calling Superman Clark sounds completely and utterly ridiculous to me.
Well even big fans of DKR hate TDKSB and ASBAR. I like (again LIKE) DKR as a Batman story not a Superman story, there are Superman stories I like that degrade Batman as a character too. Like Red Son and Kingdom Come, it's an Elseworld story.
My friend is big Batman fan and yet he loves Batman and Robin movie and dislikes Nolan's Batman, that puzzles me but at the same time I'm not going to act like a closed-minded elitist and insult him by saying he doesn't get Batman because clearly he does plus I like Superman III and IV, which are terrible movies.
By the way he's always been called Clark even in Pre-Crisis, so I don't see your point. On the plus side nice to see more people who think Maggin is the best Superman writer, him and Swan should've written the "final" Pre-Crisis story not Alan Moore.
Last edited by BBally; 12-19-2012 at 07:56 AM.
No matter how many reboots, new origins, reinterpretations or suit redesigns. In the end, he will always be SUPERMAN
The most surprising thing is that DKR is being mentioned as Superman related. I think that's the only weird thing. But Superman IV is definitely a Superman source while DKR isn't. Still think that doesn't mean that much except a person's taste definitely doesn't mesh with mine.
Well, I tend to avoid sliced bread but BatO was pretty good but I still tend like it for reasons other than Batman. But you are so right that Batman material doesn't usually lend itself to great Superman material.
I'm one of those that liked the Batman and Robin movie. That doesn't affect how I felt about Nolan's. Those were really well done films. But they aren't my ideal version of Batman either. What's great is we've had all these version of Batman to pick from (comics, movies, television) and I can understand why looking at Batman material for influences for Superman is worrisome. Especially when we don't have as much choice in other media outside comics and one of the comic influences isn't even a Superman item.
I have to wonder why the assumption is that simply because Snyder says he likes or is inspired by Dark Knight Returns that he means he appreciated or agreed with all aspects of Superman's characterization in Miller's story. Couldn't it just as easily be that Snyder looks to Dark Knight Returns as a inspiration for a particular theme or plot? In other words, Superman is portrayed as the establishment figure in contrast to Batman. Perhaps Snyder seeks to similarly test Superman but have him respond differently. I believe a writer can enjoy a story for what it is yet also appreciate it because it spurs new ways of thinking about characters, including how not to write them.
Not that it really makes a difference to the conversation, but Barr was already the new writer on BatB leading up to its cancellation.
Maggin and Swan (and Maggin by himself) already told enough about Superman's future within regular issues, and I'd rather have that than the kind of story they might have been forced to tell in a "final" issue.
Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened" isn't the real final story of the Bronze Age Superman (and certainly not the final "pre-Crisis" story, as it came out about a half year after the Crisis had already ended. It was just an Imaginary Story in the vein of so many classic Imaginary Stories of the past, like Siegel's 'Death of Superman'. A lot of people seem to miss that since Imaginary Stories had mostly died out by the end of the Silver Age, but "Whatever Happened" is not an in-continuity story.
Yeah I'm one of those people who considers it the last Pre-Crisis Superman story.
Did DC Comics Presents # 97 postdate Whatever Happen to the Man of Tomorrow?
I believe that was the last Pre Crisis Story and a very interesting and quite disturbing ending to say the least with Kryptonite and dead bodies from Argo City littering the Metropolis streets because of Mr. Mxyzptlk
Because in his view, Superman would never do what he did there and he would never lose to Batman. Even though he ignores the rest of the context of the story and focuses on the loss. As Mr. Holmes said, it is a narrow minded view of who and what Superman is all about in that story. He doesn't have to like the story, but to think that Frank Miller didn't know how to write the story correctly is a serious misunderstanding of the character in said story.
But Superman wasn't derailed in TDKR. Clark made a choice to keep fighting for the people of the Earth, even if it meant making a compromise about working for the government. He didn't quit like Bruce did. Clark even does his best to try and save everyone's life on Corto Maltese. When he confronts Bruce, he's not doing it because he's been ordered to. He's doing it to stop the government from killing Bruce, because of what he's done with the Mutant gang and the S.O.B., as well as the alleged murder of the Joker. He doesn't even want to hurt Bruce, which is why he lets him get in more shots instead of pummeling him into the ground like a nail. And at the end, he lets Bruce go when he realizes that he's still alive and had faked his death. That shows that Clark's character is true to the standards of what came before.
Neither did anyone else that worked on Superman #400. They all got paid for it.Originally Posted by Van Cleef
Which is the opposite of when Miller did Batman and Daredevil, because he liked them and had stories that he wanted to tell. He even had a Superman story lined up in 1996, four years before he began work on TDKSA.There are many writers these days who work at the superhero business but they do not really like them at all. Just because there's the money. (Not necessarily a bad thing since in the good old days most writers would rather see there work for comic books as mere jobs to pay their bills).
Which would defeat the purpose of the Outsiders, which was to go against the rules of the JLA and to do things their own way. Hence the title, "The Outsiders". They're outside the law and fight for the rights of the individual, regardless of political and legal ramifications.Originally Posted by Kurosawa
1. As the intro for the story goes, all of them are imaginary.Originally Posted by stk
2. It was commissioned as the final chapter, even in spite of it being called an Imaginary Story by Schwartz. Yes, it went against the stories written by Maggin, but that's because Maggin's work pre-dated the Crisis and did not reflect what had changed. Moore's story was designed to come after the Crisis and deal with all the then relevant issues. Such as Kara's death and Captain Marvel's presence of Earth-1, as well as dissect what it meant to be Superman in spite of the tragedy, so that when it ended, there was the usual glimmer of hope and good feeling.

It is five years to the day that Apple launched the almighty iPod. The device has undoubtedly transformed the way many of us buy and listen to music. In the last five years, 68 million iPods have been sold, and the company holds a staggering 75% share of the market.
Alongside the iPod's success, its companion service iTunes now holds 88% of the legal music download market and is now more than breaking even, according to Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer.

Of the 149 portable MP3 players he has reported on in the past two years, not one has yet managed to dent the popularity of Apple's device, which has become a generic name for the MP3 player.

Quite rightly, there has been a lot of talk recently about the need for businesses to understand the harder business benefits of Web 2.0 and the impact that new features and tools can have on the bottom line.
However, the man who has steered Guardian Unlimited to numerous awards (and profitability) stresses the inherent value of online innovation for a brand which is expected to be pioneering.

Long described as "No Shoes No Shirt Nosara," this great beach area of Costa Rica has long been a part of the yoga and surf community, as well as more sophisticated travelers looking for pristine and untouched beaches and adventure. The stunning sands of Nosara have long been protected thanks to Costa Rica's superb national park system, as well as locals who have fought to keep their pride land clean.
The Playa Nosara area consists of the quaint village of Nosara and the two beach communities of Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada. In recent years, Playa Guiones has become increasingly more popular thanks largely to its unique surf. This long un-crowed beach provides some of the world's best surfers shoulder to over head high waves 99 out of 100 days. Though large, the waves are considered rather friendly and forgiving, making this area perfect for anyone from a beginner to an intermediate. Short boarders tend to prefer low tide, as waves are quite a bit steeper and quicker, while mid to high tide is much preferred by beginners and long boarders. Another plus to this area, is that there is little to no localism while in the water, a rare treat for all to enjoy!
The Nosara Yoga Institute opened its first retreat in 1994, inviting yogis from all over the world to discover the unspoiled sands of Nosara. Today, the area is home to a number of retreat centers that offer anything from teacher training, to private and open classes.
Fishing is another extremely popular pastime off the beaches of Nosara. Due to its unique marine geology, which consists of an offshore ledge that attracts deep-water fish fairly close to the shore, there is near good fishing guaranteed year round. Most fishing charters head out from Playa Garza and Playa Pelada, providing excursions anywhere from one hour to all day. Spear fishing and shoreline fishing are also available in some areas. The main catches tend to be yellow fin tuna, marlin, both black and blue, sailfish, Dorado, snapper, Bonita, and sea bass.
If you tire of these activities, make sure to check out the other great opportunities in Nosara. Make sure to go on a stunning beach or jungle horseback ride, a kayak excursion through the Nosara River, a Quad tour to explore the local terrain and experience the world's longest zip line cable. Another exciting activity is the guided tours to watch turtles lay their eggs in the Ostionale Reserve, located just 45 minutes north of Nosara. About once ever month, particularly during the rainy season, thousands of turtles come to the beach to lay their eggs, during what is called the arribada.

Fly Geyser is the name of this magnificent man-made formation. It is located in Northern Nevada in the Black desert near Gerlach, Nevada. This has been such a popular photographic destination, that is is now rumored the owner of the property is considering making it a park avialable to the park. I shot this in 2009 with my Canon 5D. I had to be very careful not to disturb it as it seemed very fragile. As far as a dramatic formation with lots of colors goes, this is as good as it gets. I have many in a series of this in my collection and happy to share. You can see more of my images on my website at http://jp2pix.com

I went to a local store in AV that sells it, they want $32 for a 750ml bottle!
Is that the going rate? Do they make a smaller bottle? If so where can i get it?
Printable View
So, I'd decided a couple days ago to have a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale even though I'd had them before and already knew I didn't like their brews. But, in the interest of fairness, I revisited the beer to find out what it was that I didn't like. I took the first sip and that familiar taste hit me. Hops. Not too harsh but more hoppy than the average fair. And that's what it was that has put me off of SN for years. Truth be told the hoppiness mellowed out through the beer and I actually liked it more near the end than that first sip, but I don't think I'm destined to become a "hop head" like many others. Weird, since I've had IPAs before and liked them. I like hefs and aren't they a more hoppy style?
Eh, I dunno. SN just doesn't suit my taste. My next beer was a Guinness and that always fits like a glove.
Oh, and I tried a bottle of Dos Equis Amber later that night. Maybe I was too buzzed to tell but I could barely taste anything.
There are some left at quite a few places in the Long Beach area. I held off, but my friend picked one up to age. There has been a lot of carbonation issues so only pick up if you decide to let it sit.
2008 angels share any bubbles yet? - Bar Talk & Questions - BeerAdvocate
<----Try This
The Lost Abbey is absolutely HORRIBLE with carbonation as of the last year. I had such high expectations for Gift of The Maji & 10 Commandments, and was so disappointed with the results as both brews were as flat as a checkerboard. Even the Judgment Day and Lost & Found were extremely flat. I keep hearing there are no signs of carbonation yet with the new release of The Angel's Share. I've got a 375 ml bottle and oughta give it a shake to see if any bubbles pop up. The Lost Abbey is highly overrated, except for The Angel's Share and The Serpents Stout. Those two are nectars of the gods!
Last year's Angel's Share Bourbon Barrel was perfect! I was able to drink mine right away and the carbonation was beautiful. Some of the 750 ml bottles are going for $36 at stores right now for the newest release! A great brew, but not worth that much, especially with the Lost Abbey's carbonation flaws!

Many restaurateurs are groomed for their career path from infancy, growing up in kitchens where they bonded with family over lovingly prepared meals. Not Mario Herrera. He entered into the restaurant industry out of necessity, not nostalgia, tackling dishes by the sink-full as he earned money to put himself through college. And though he took the job for financial reasons, he soon found himself falling in love with it, unexpectedly nourished by the smiles of well-fed patrons. Mario began taking on different positions in the restaurant, serving meals and pouring cocktails until he learned the ins and outs of the entire process. Eventually he opened his own place, The Red Iguana, and he does everything he can to make the place feel like a second home for his staff, guests, and talking cartoon plates.
It's only natural: you'd almost have to live there to get through the menu's extensive selection of hearty Mexican dishes. There's a mix of tacos, burritos, and fajitas, of course, but it's his own creations that set the place apart. Unique appetizers play on traditional favorites, such as mole chicken wings or grilled-veggie nachos. The entrees—which are conveniently categorized by protein or veggie—include pork tenderloin with adobo sauce and grilled chicken topped with chorizo and pineapple. The camaron al mojo de ajo is a perennial favorite, a spread of shrimp sauteed with wine and garlic, all served atop rice and avocado salad.
Part Mexican cantina, part Irish pub, and all cop, Garcia Brogan's blends disparate cultures in both its menu and its decor, which features murals and folk art from Mexico and Ireland. Whether guests want a glass of Irish whiskey or a fine tequila, Garcia Brogan's bartenders keep the drinks flowing, pouring a river of alcohol in which tacos and shepherd's pie bob appetizingly. The restaurant hosts pub trivia nights and live Irish music on the weekends.
Mexican chefs prepare Mexican food that's served in a dining area enclosed by walls decorated with Mexican art. Wooden hot plates keep tile-topped tables and overzealous servers' heads safe from fajita skillets that emit the sounds and scents of sizzling chicken, beef, or shrimp. Patrons may enhance their authentic meals with sprinkles of salt and pepper shaken out of repurposed Coronita bottles and complement their cuisine with oversized margaritas—crafted at the wraparound bar with a selection of more than 40 tequilas.
In the dark of night, the brightly lit façades of The Fat Cactus locations glow like a beacon, beckoning diners to come and sample their classic Mexican and Tex-Mex foods. The restaurants' interiors are no less eye-catching. House-specialty fazzizzles—short for sizzling fajitas—top tables in dining rooms filled with vibrant reds and yellows. Rows of hubcaps glisten on walls next to strings of lights. And hundreds of emptied tequila bottles dangle from the ceiling, testament to the popularity of the menu's dozen specialty margaritas. For extra entertainment, musicians fill ears with their tuneful crooning every night, and a room with classic arcade games lets kids play at adult tasks, such as driving a car or helping zombies file their tax returns.
Founded in 2005, Ixtapa Mexican Grill and Cantina rode a wave of authentic mole sauce and frosty margarita mix and expanded from one location to four. They treasure the same family recipes in each kitchen, be it the mild green tomatillo sauce sauteed with traditional pork Chili Verde or the signature fish tacos with mango. The décor and specials, on the other hand, varies from joint to joint, with the Lunenburg location boasting stucco-like walls with red accents and a taco bar during NFL games.
Inside Sierras, an antlered chandelier overlooks cream tile-plated tables, ocean blue floors, and walls festooned with antlered skulls and colorful plates in pale blues and vibrant reds. The meals are just as colorful, from the dollops of sour cream, pico de gallo, and chili that top a tower of homemade corn nachos to the roasted red peppers, sweet corn, and Monterey jack cheese that pops out of burritos.

- Artist conjures awesome original superheroes (pictures)
Check out Giga-bite, whom Downing describes as "a super computing nano-colony constructed from junk." Maybe Downing's days as a "Wall-E" animator served as inspiration?
Downing has worked on films such as "Brave," "Up," "Wall-E," and other Pixar masterpieces. He counts superheroes as his hobby and said he started the project to counteract a creative rut.
"I felt that my artwork was stagnating and my ideas weren't exciting or interesting," he told Crave. "The idea was that of I spent a half an hour to an hour a day creating supers I'd eventually be forced to loosen up and start thinking creatively again. Now at 315 supers I honestly feel like 'mission accomplished.'"

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
4.2.2. <Location /perl> Sections |
The <Location> section assigns a number of rules that the server follows when the request's URI matches the location. Just as it is a widely accepted convention to use /cgi-bin for mod_cgi scripts, it is habitual to use /perl as the base URI of the Perl scripts running under mod_perl. Let's review the following very widely used <Location>section:
Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/ PerlModule Apache::Registry <Location /perl> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI Allow from all PerlSendHeader On </Location>
This configuration causes all requests for URIs starting with /perl to be handled by the mod_perl Apache module with the handler from the Apache::Registry Perl module.
Remember the Alias from the previous section? We use the same Alias here. If you use a <Location> that does not have the same Alias, the server will fail to locate the script in the filesystem. You need the Aliassetting only if the code that should be executed is located in a file. Alias just provides the URI-to-filepath translation rule.
Sometimes there is no script to be executed. Instead, a method in a module is being executed, as with /perl-status, the code for which is stored in an Apache module. In such cases, you don't need Aliassettings for these <Location>s.
PerlModule is equivalent to Perl's native use( ) function call. We use it to load the Apache::Registry module, later used as a handler in the <Location>section.
Now let's go through the directives inside the <Location>section:
[24]You can use Apache::RegistryBB to skip this and a few other checks.
If you use CGI.pm's header( ) function to generate HTTP headers, you do not need to activate this directive, because CGI.pm detects that it's running under mod_perl and calls send_http_header( ) for you.
You will want to set PerlSendHeader Off for non-parsed headers (nph) scripts and generate all the HTTP headers yourself. This is also true for mod_perl handlers that send headers with the send_http_header( ) method, because having PerlSendHeader On as a server-wide configuration option might be a performance hit.
Overriding <Location> Settings
<Location /foo> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Book::Module </Location>To remove a mod_perl handler setting from a location beneath a location where a handler is set (e.g., /foo/bar), just reset the handler like this:
<Location /foo/bar> SetHandler default-handler </Location>Now all requests starting with /foo/bar will be served by Apache's default handler, which serves the content directly.

Harden attended college in Greece; Munich, Germany; and Baltimore, Maryland, before completing her degree in drama at the University of Texas in Austin. After college, she moved to New York City and did graduate studies at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.Film Debut
In 1990, Harden made her feature film debut in Miller's Crossing, an unconventional take on the gangster movie written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Playing a tough moll named Verna, Harden held her own opposite costars Gabriel Byrne, John Turturro, and Albert Finney. Two years later, she starred in the independent feature Crush (1992), as a free-spirited woman who romances both a famous novelist and his daughter, then took her place among Oscar-winning actresses Shirley MacLaine, Jessica Tandy, and Kathy Bates in Used People. On the small screen, she radiated classic Hollywood glamour as Ava Gardner in the 1992 television miniseries Sinatra.As her film career continued to heat up, Harden also built an impressive stage resume, starring in a 1992 production of The Skin of Our Teeth in Chicago and in the Off-Broadway play The Years in 1993. She earned a Tony nomination in 1993 for her portrayal of an emotional Mormon wife in the two-part epic Angels in America and costarred opposite Ed Harris and Beverly D'Angelo in a production of Sam Shepard's Simpatico in 1994 at the Public Theater in New York City.
Harden gave an affecting performance in 1996's The Spitfire Grill, also featuring Ellen Burstyn, and costarred opposite the unpredictable comic force Robin Williams in Flubber (1997). She appeared as one of the daughters of Anthony Hopkins' character in the dramatic bomb Meet Joe Black (1998), costarring Brad Pitt. Harden won new fans with her role as Susan Silverman, the girlfriend of private eye Spenser (played by Joe Mantegna) in two TV movies, Small Vices (1999) and Thin Air (2000).
Academy Award Win
In 2000, Harden appeared on the big screen as the romantic interest of Tommy Lee Jones' aging astronaut in the surprise hit Space Cowboys, costarring Clint Eastwood and James Garner. Most notably, she turned in her best performance to date as Lee Krasner, the artist and long-suffering wife of tortured genius Jackson Pollock, played by Ed Harris, in Pollock, an ambitious biopic directed by Harris.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
Truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.

B.P. to Set Aside $20 Billion For Cleanup; That Sounds Like a Lot, But Is It?
- Politics
we all thought it was! Per The New York Times: "The White House and BP tentatively agreed on Wednesday that the oil giant would create a $20 billion fund to pay claims for the worst oil spill in American history." Twenty billion dollars! And that's in addition to the $1 billion the company has already used to sponge down birds, dispose of possibly toxic garbage, and coach a ragtag team of submersible robots. The fund will be handled by Kenneth Feinberg, the all-star attorney who supervised the government's payments to 9/11 victims.
Well, well: President Obama's speech last night was not quite the ineffective grandstandingStill, talks continue between Obama and B.P. The White House has demanded that there be "no ceiling on BP's liability if costs of the oil-spill cleanup and recovery go higher. BP officials are pressing for some limits, individuals familiar with the situation say," according to The Wall Street Journal. This is the definition of ass-kicking, apparently.
