On her way to pick up her New York City Marathon bib number Friday, longtime New Yorker Lauren Mandel was having second thoughts of running in the iconic race. Just four days after Superstorm Sandy hit her city, she was wracked by a knot in her stomach as she got closer to the convention center serving as the hub for race participants. "Walking past ... generators heating up tents for people to eat pasta tomorrow night when there are people who haven't eaten a hot meal in five days" left her with the feeling: "This is so inappropriate and this is so wrong," she said. Those feelings of outrage echoed across the city and nationwide since Wednesday, when Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the race would go on as scheduled.
Drumroll please. The results are in. The rover Curiosity, equipped with the most sophisticated tools ever sent to the Red Planet, has returned the initial measurements of the composition of the Martian atmosphere. And they are ...
Last month a small pocket of marshland in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey was saved from development. The local online newspaper, the Sandpaper.net, celebrated the preservation of Grassle Marsh -- named for a leading authority on the larvae of surf clams - and its populations of kingfishers and fiddler crabs. This week, Little Egg Harbor -- on the shore of Ocean County - was pulverized by 'superstorm' Sandy. Homes were turned into debris fields; boats were tossed into the marshes or piled on top of each other. One quiet ceremony, one catastrophic storm. Both symbolize a national dilemma -- as the headlong migration to America's coastlines clashes with rapidly changing climate patterns and more powerful storms.
The National Hockey League on Friday put its annual outdoor Winter Classic game on ice -- the latest casualty of the NHL's lockout of its players.
When Superstorm Sandy rocked the Eastern Seaboard earlier this week, uncertainty over Tuesday's election began to creep into the minds of those who have spent months organizing it. Though polling places up and down the East Coast were still without power Friday, Sandy's impact is most noticeable in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, scene of widespread flooding, power outages and hurricane-force winds.
The Justice Department Friday announced that it is dispatching more than 780 federal observers and monitors to 23 states to watch for potential problems which would violate voting rights protected by federal law.
For the past decade, international election observers have traveled to the United States to witness how Americans conduct their presidential election. They are back again this year but officials in the battleground state of Iowa and in Texas have warned that the observers could face criminal charges if they try to show up at polling stations on Tuesday. Observers, however, told CNN it's a tempest in a teapot -- they're not going to break the law.
Launching their final campaign bursts in a close and contentious race, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney argued Friday over who will bring real change to a nation still mired in a sluggish economy.
Mitt Romney trails in states with personal ties, including Michigan, where he was born, and Massachusetts, where he served as governor.
With four days to go until the presidential election, a new poll indicates the race for arguably the most important battleground state remains very close.
Add one more high-profile name to the list of those making surprising, last-minute stops to Pennsylvania just days before Election Day: Former President Bill Clinton.
In final stretch, campaigns and allies drop $93 million for battleground ads

Why recreation trails
Trails are not only the way most people connect with nature, they also add to America's outdoor recreation economy. We work to make sure trails are maintained and protected.
Keeping trails open
The hundreds of thousands of miles of trails on wildlands all need to be kept up. Not only do closed trails stop people from getting where they want to go, but they can harm surrounding lands and waters.
National Forest trails
Within our national forests are trails that allow people to connect with and experience nature. The US Forest Service is making outdoor recreation a higher priority.
Trails on Bureau of Land Management lands
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands do not have many trails for hiking, horseback riding or bicycling. At Wilderness, we're working to make trail recreation a priority for the BLM.
Wilderness is a precious resource with many human, natural and economic benefits that we need to protect.
Our precious wild places are being lost at the rate of 6,000 acres per day. You can help save America's last remaining wilderness by joining The Wilderness Society with a gift of $35 or more today!
Hear artists, activists and adventurers share what the ownership and legacy of these American wildlands means to them.

Republican Governor Rick Scott Friday reacted to speculation that newly registered Democrat Charlie Crist will run against him in 2014. Crist, a former Republican governor who became an independent in 2010, and is now formally registered as a Democrat. Scott says the state lost hundreds of thousands of jobs and saw its debt soar during the Crist administration. "In my first two years, we've turned the corner. Biggest drop in unemployment - it's down to 8.5 percent - and 175,000 private sector jobs. So that's what I'm doing. I know what happened in the last administration," Scott says. Crist was elected governor in 2006 and ran the state during a national recession that included a collapse of the housing market.

30 Day Wrestler Challenge 2 – Bad Gimmicks
Saturday, March 3rd, 2012It's that time of year again. Last year I decided that for the 30 days leading into Wrestlemania, each day I would draw a wrestler. Last year it was all over the place. There was no real underlying theme to the characters I drew, most of them were just requested, but this year Ben and I came up with a list with the theme being bad gimmicks. Now even though we have a list of well over 30, obviously not all of them will make the cut, please feel free to submit requests.
In 1993 there was going to be a match between the team of Sid Vicious, Harlem Heat and Big Van Vader against the team of Sting, Davey Boy Smith, Dustin Rhodes and a mystery partner. At Clash of the Champions the two teams were on "Flair for the Gold", a talk segment hosted by Ric Flair, and the heel team demanded to know who the mystery man was. With the introduction from Sting saying that their partner was going to shock the world, through the wall of the set burst #30, The SHOCKMASTER! As grand an entrance as it could have been with the pyro and the busting through the wall, even if the character looked stupid as-is, it was not meant to be as Shockmaster, played by Fred Ottman, would trip over a 2×4 that was not part of the set in rehearsal and fall flat on his face. The helmet the character wore, which was a sliver painted Storm Trooper helmet with glitter, would roll off as Ottman frantically tried to put it back on. Everyone tried in vain to not burst into laughter even though it's audible that Davey Boy wasn't keeping it together saying off-camera, "He fell flat on his fucking ass!" Ole Anderson, who was the voice of Shockmaster, had to cut a promo for the character and even he had trouble holding it together. Dusty Rhodes, who created the character, has said that he and Vince McMahon would get drinks together and compare which idea was worse, the Gobbeldy Gooker or The Shockmaster. At least on this list, Shockmaster wins. Or loses. So Sorry Vince, or maybe you're welcome.
In the events leading up to Survivor Series 1990, a giant egg would make appearances leading people to wonder what the egg was? Then at the event the egg began to hatch and out came #29 The Gobbledy Gooker. Now, I don't know exactly what Vince McMahon was on at the time to think that a giant turkey dancing around with "Mene" Gene Okerlund would get over, but it, unsurprisingly, didn't and the live crowd booed the thing out of the building. The character, played by Hector Guerrero, was immediately dropped and would not be heard of for over 10 years, until the 2001 Wrestlemania X7 gimmick battle royal. Guerrero once again played the Gooker in the match but was quickly eliminated. The Gooker has gained almost an ironic fan following, being such a terrible character that people laugh when it makes a cameo, thought it's now largely used as a way for a wrestler to sneak attack another such as when The Boogeyman dressed as the Gooker to attack Carlito and Primo, or when Maryse donned the feathered costume to attack Melina.
When Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara tried to make their mark in WCW, one of the "genius" ideas they had was to pair "Doctor Death" Steve Williams with Ed Ferrara going by #28 Oklahoma. The character would probably be less insulting if they stuck to the over-the-top yelling while doing commentary or carrying around a bottle of BBQ sauce, but what made the gimmick incredibly insulting was that Ferrara would droop his face and talk in a slur to mock Jim Ross's bell's palsy. This gimmick would also get Ferrara spit on and challenged to a fight by Jim Cornette for making fun of his long-time friend. At one point, Oklahoma would get hit in the face with his BBQ Sauce bottle, splashing sauce all over his face, which 'cured' his palsy. Of course the character never worked as people found it falling somewhere between stupid and insulting. Ross has since forgiven Ferrara, but many fans have not.
One of the best ways to wreck a wrestler's career is to give them a gimmick where they have some kind of mental disability, which brings us to #27, Eugene. Brought in as the hapless nephew of Eric Bischoff, Eugene actually managed to get over with the crowd by imitating wrestlers of yesteryear, performing Stone Cold Stunners, Rock Bottoms, even mimicking Hulk Hogan on occasion. He even got a tag team title win with his handler William Regal. He would later team with Tajiri and Jim Duggan with less successful runs, and have feuds with the likes of Kurt Angle, Umaga and even Vince McMahon. Eugene was eventually released after a second suspension due to failed drug tests. Nick Dinsmore would continue to use the gimmick on the independent circuit going by "U-gene" he would also wrestle under his real name.
The 90s were so full of the silliest cartoony characters in wrestling. Probably the cartooniest was #26, Doink the Clown. Doink began his run as a heel who would play tricks on other wrestlers and audience members. After hitting Jerry Lawler with a pie, and after Matt Bourne was fired for drug abuse, Doink was turned face and the character was given to another performer. Doink would also gain a sidekick, an identically dressed midget named Dink. Matt Bourne would go to ECW and paint half his face with the clown makeup and play up a multiple personality disorder he developed while being forced to play a clown in WWF. Over the years Doink would continue to make appearances on WWF/E television played by a variety of different performers.
Like I said with Glacier, wrestling, especially WCW liked to do characters based off pop culture. But with Glacier, the character was based off something that was still relevant when the character debuted. Creating a character based on the band KISS would have worked in 1975, but in 1999, it didn't really work so well. KISS performed live at Nitro and introduced their character, #24 The Demon. Based on Gene Simmons's character in the band, the Demon never got over the way I'm sure KISS hoped they would as I'm sure they got a cut of any merchandise The Demon sold. It's rumored that due to the lack of response The Demon got, that the planned KISS-themed stable was axed. The Demon would become part of a stable, The Dark Carnival, led by Vampiro and included The Great Muta and The Insane Clown Posse. The character disappeared when WCW was bought by WWE and they did not pick up Dale "The Demon" Torborg's contract.
Earlier on the list we mentioned a guy by the name of Glacier. Well, to make his angle complete, WCW introduced his nemesis, #23 Mortis. Like Glacier, Mortis was also based off of a Mortal Kombat character, Shao Kahn. Mortis would lose to Glacier several times before pairing with Wrath to take on the team of Glacier and Ernest "The Cat" Miller. (Neither Wrath nor Miller sere based on Mortal Kombat characters, they just got rolled into the angle) The team of Wrath and Mortis beat Glacier and Miller at Bash at the Beach 1997 and would continue to team together until the angle was phased out later in the year. Mortis would find greater success as a Tag Team and United States champion in the years after losing the mask and going by Chris Kanyon.
How do you kill a relatively successful performer? Strip him of everything he's known for. Alex Wright was known for bright colors, smiling, and dancing. And in doing this, he got to hold the WCW Cruiserweight and WCW Television championships. Then in 1998 he was taken off TV. In 1999, WCW began airing promos for a character called Berlyn, #22 on the list. Firstly, Berlyn wore a long black trenchcoat and this delayed his debut after the Columbine shootings as those shooters also wore trenchcoats. Maybe when a character has to be delayed like this, it's a sign to change direction. Not in WCW. He eventually arrived on the scene, black mowhawk, black coat, black sunglasses, black black black, very unlike the brightly colored Wright. He refused to speak English and instead did his promos through a translator who stammered and stumbled over every word of every promo she gave, and he was also accompanied by his body guard, The Wall. (Get it, Berlyn..Wall) What little heat this character had was killed in his first program when Buff Bagwell refused to job to him. Bagwell was replaced with Jim Duggan who was uncooperative in the ring. As the character drew on, even the announcers on TV were asking if they could start calling him Alex Wright again. And eventually they did as the character was dropped and Wright began wrestling under his real name again in 2000.
At WWF In Your House 5: Seasons Beatings, Savio Vega and Santa Claus were handing out presents when "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase made his way out and said that even Santa has a price. The duo attacked Vega. It was then revealed that this was no Santa, but rather Xanta Claus, Santa Claus's evil brother from the South pole who stole presents. I don't know that going by Balls was much better for him, but Xanta landed him at #21 on the list.
In his surprisingly long run in WWF/E, #20 had a couple silly gimmicks. But his first was that of an ex-NASCAR driver, Thurman "Sparky" Plugg, who was quickly renamed Bob "Spark Plug" Holly. However under this gimmick he did win a tag team title with 1-2-3 Kid, and even defeated Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental title, although that title change was reversed and is not officially recognized as a change. He would then go on to be "Bombastic Bob" as part of the New Midnight Express and part of the JOB Squad before becoming Hardcore Holly which was possibly his most successful gimmick that ran for 10 years until being released in 2009 after 15 years with the company.
#19 comes via request on the Squared Circle Facebook Fan Page. Before the Nation of Domination, before the Acolytes, Before the Ministry of Darkness, before the APA and before "DAMN!" (but after becoming the first black world champion not named Bobo Brazil) Ron Simmons made his way to the WWF under the name Faarooq Asad. He would go by simply Farrooq for most of his WWF/E run, but in the beginning he was in a very silly gladiator gimmick, wearing a weird frilly thing around his middle and a misshapen foam helmet. Being managed by Sunny didn't help his case either as she always got more attention than the guys she was managing. Faarooq would, as mentioned above, break away from this silly gimmick and although never winning another heavyweight championship, would go on to have a rather respectable career, including a couple Tag Team title wins with Acolytes/APA partner Bradshaw, and is being inducted into the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame. Sometimes silly gimmicks lead to much better things.
While being another silly gimmick on a fat guy, #18, Mantaur, actually had a bit of a winning streak upon his arrival in WWF in January 1995. Coming to the ring wearing a bull's head to emphasize the Minotaur gimmick, he tore through some jobbers and even got an Intercontinental title match against then champion Razor Ramon. He would compete in the 1995 Royal Rumble and be eliminated. After a few months he would fail to get into the King of the Ring, losing to another awful gimmick Bob "Spark Plug" Holly. His final appearance would be at In Your House 2 that July. Mantaur is also a cousin of #17, PN News.
So many bad gimmicks can be boiled down to one central thought, "Make the fat guy look stupid." And there is plenty of that in wrestling. #17 is yet another example of that line of thinking. PN News was a guy who, in 1991-92 WCW was a fat guy who came out saying "Yo, baby! Yo, baby! Yo!" and would dance and rap so terribly that it almost makes old R-Truth seem bearable. He did, however have some high profile feuds with the likes of Diamond Dallas Page and "Stunning" Steve Austin. He would disappear from WCW in 92, but resurface in ECW in the fall of 99. He aligned himself with the faction Da Baldies but would eventually lose a "Loser leaves town" match, teaming with Vito LoGrasso against Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney.
Dennis Knight is no stranger to bad gimmicks, The Godwinns, Southern Justice, and Mideon. But as #16 it was taken to a new level. Building off of his Mideon character from the Minestry of Darkness, he shed his baggy pants and sleeveless tshirt and traded them in for a fanny pack and a flesh colored thong and would wrestle and run around arenas as Naked Mideon. Thankfully, this character only made sporadic appearances before finally being released in 2000.
By comparison, there are very few women in wrestling. It is, by and large, a male dominated pass time. That being the case, I make an effort to include at least one female on the 30 Day Wrestler Challenge lists, which made it hard when Ben and I decided the list was going to be about bad gimmicks, because there really aren't many female wrestlers that have been saddled with any exceptionally silly gimmicks. Until I remembered #15, Jillian Hall. Wrestling is a pass time where the characters are meant to look like action figures for ease of merchandising, and few looked more plastic than her. With her comically large bust and lips that would put Steven Tyler's to shame, Jillian Hall looked like a living blow-up doll. And then they bring her in as an image consultant with a large growth on her face that looks like someone glued the contents of a can of beans on her face. The gimmick was eventually dropped when the Boogeyman would bite said blemish off her face. Classy. She would then go on to be a tone-deaf pop singer. It's a shock neither of these gimmicks got over and she was eventually released.
#14 was going to be the Bastion Booger, the gimmick who was, essentially, a fat guy in dirty wrestling gear. But upon looking for the reference material, I came across the wikipedia page of Mike Shaw, the wrestler who played the Booger and found out about an even worse gimmick that preceded that in his WWF run. In 1993, before his run as the Booger, he was "The Mad Monk" Friar Ferguson. A monk who would come to the ring in robes with chanting music and then would lift the robe and do some kind of dance. The gimmick was quickly dropped after negative feedback from the Catholic church.
In the mid 90′s when Jerry "The King" Lawler was having his issues with Bret "The Hitman" Hart, he turned to his giant monstrous dentist, #13 on the list, Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS. However, Dr. Yankem could never quite get the job done, never getting a victory over Bret Hart. After that angle ended, Yankem slowly faded away. He resurfaced later in another failed gimmick, taking Kevin Nash's place in playing the character Diesel. When that didn't work either, he disappeared, but would come back with a gimmick that would be his character for the next 15 years, Kane.
#12, Phantasio only made one WWF television appearance, on Wrestling Challenge in 1995. He came out to no music and did a variety of magic tricks including shooting fire from his hat, tearing his "face" off and pulling a very long ribbon from his mouth. He did win his one match but was never heard from again.
In late 1999 WCW, vignettes began running with a mysterious figure outside of a child's bedroom window. This was the beginning of #11, Seven. These dark clips would run on Nitro and Thunder leading up to the debut of the character, in a black trenchcoat and white face, Seven made his debut, and the performer under the makeup, Dustin Rhodes, threw down the gimmick claiming he was tired of nonsensical gimmicks in professional wrestling, including the persona he had been using in WWF for the years prior, Golddust. The truth was that the vignettes scared Turner Television executives thought the videos would lead people to believe Seven was a child abductor and forced WCW to drop the gimmick.
One of the many bizarre characters from the Vince Russo era of WCW was #10, Kwee Wee. Based off the Saturday Night Live character, Mango, Kwee Wee was an eccentric, flamboyant, character who wore bright pink wrestling gear and was covered in body glitter. Also, like Mango, even though he would be flirtatious with men, he would be quick to point out that he wasn't gay if these men ever gave in to his apparent advances. The character was made even more bizarre when they introduced Angry Allen Kwee Wee's angry alter ego that he would transform into in a very Incredible Hulk kind of way.
After a successful run in the late 80s-early 90s as half of the tag team Demolition, Barry Darsow was saddled with gimmick #9 on the list, The Repo Man. The gimmick was basically him, running around in a trenchcoat and black mask, stealing the belongings of fellow WWF wrestlers who hadn't made their payments. He would also carry around a tow rope that he would use to tie up opponents and assault them. It's a wonder this gimmick didn't last very long.
At one point Ted Turner wanted to incorporate some of the movies that were under his umbrella into WCW. This brought about #8, Oz. Billed as being from the Emerald City and actually being the Wizard of Oz. Oz went on a tear for a while squashing various opponents but the character never really caught on and was eventually dropped. The wrestler who played Oz would go on to find much greater success when he would go to WWE as Shawn Michaels's bodyguard Diesel and then when he returned to WCW to wrestle under his real name, Kevin Nash.
Oh the Dungeon of Doom, there was no collection of worse ideas in the history of wrestling. One of the worst, however had to be when they revealed a large block of ice on Nitro that would thaw by Halloween Havoc to reveal #7, The Yeti! Yeti, looking more like a mummy than an kind of yeti I've heard of, interfered in the match for the WCW title between The Giant and Hulk Hogan where he and Giant would lock Hogan in a double bear hug that looked like he was dry humping the Hulkster. His appearance was made all the more comical by Tony Shiavone's announcing. "It's THE YETT-TEH!"
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, Bill Goldberg didn't think it was very flattering when WWF and Duane Gill decided to come up with #6, Gillberg! In the mid-late 90′s there were two top dogs in professional wrestling, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in WWF and Goldberg in WCW. As WWF thought it was fun to mock WCW whenever possible, (See the Billionaire Ted skits) it was only natural that they'd mock the biggest thing WCW had going for it. With his pyro consisting of men holding sparklers and piped in "Gillberg" chants, Gillberg had possibly the worst losing record of anyone in professional wrestling, he did, however, have wins over stars like Marc Mero, Golddust and winning the Light-Heavyweight championship from Christian. He would also go on to hold that title for a record 15 months, the longest reigning Light-Heavyweight champion in the company's history.
Who knows what WWE creative was thinking smoking when they came up with #5, Battle Kat! Apparently they wanted to utilize the gymnastics background of Dean Peters, who before becoming Battle Kat was enhancement talent. Battle Kat actually went undefeated during his run before being released.
Wrestling has always tried to be topical whenever possible. Latching on to things in popular culture to try and capitalize on. Sometimes it was News. Sports. Movies. TV shows. And in the 90s, it was video games. In 1996, one of the most popular games on the market was Mortal Kombat, and WCW decided to try and capitalize on it's popularity by introducing us to #4, Glacier. With an elaborate entrance and attire, Glacier never quite got over like WCW had hoped and eventually fell off the radar, even selling his entrance gear to Kaz Hayashi.
Oh, Steve Lombardi, there was no gimmick that you wouldn't so "no" to. No mask you wouldn't don. No paint scheme you wouldn't have smeared on that puss of yours. Which brings us to Number 3, Abe "Knuckleball" Shwartz, first known as baseball's MVP, Most Violent Player, this short-lived gimmick was an attempt by WWE to be topical during the 1994 Major League Baseball strike.
Second is WCW's homage to Spider-Man, Arachnaman! He was so close to Spider-Man, in fact, that Marvel threatened WCW with legal action if they continued to use the character. Strange considering that Marvel and WCW would work together to make action figures and a 12 issue WCW comic book.
Fittingly enough, as the first entry from last year's challenge was The Ultimate Warrior, this year's first entry is WCW's Warrior knockoff THE RENEGADE.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation said it was "shocked" and "flabbergasted" at the intervention by Attorney General Abbott and Gov. Perry, calling those actions "highly unprofessional." The foundation's lawyer, Randall Kallinen, accused the politicians of pandering to their Republican constituents for votes.
"It's 100% politics. In their party, that is a fact that it's in their platform to be more favorable to the religious right," Kallinen said.
He added that he thinks today's ruling was "purely a political decision," and that if the case was tried in federal court, there would be a very different outcome.
"I doubt the case will even go to trial," Kallinen told CNN. "The people being sued and the judge have to be re-elected, so I don't see how we can get very far."
Interpreting the First Amendment
Kallinen argued that the First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from endorsing a particular religion.
"People have freedom of speech. So, individuals have freedom of speech, but also there is the right that the government shall establish no religion. So, the question becomes, 'Is what the cheerleaders are doing private speech, or is it school-sponsored speech?'" Kallinen said. "What the school district is saying is, 'You are in the uniforms that have the name on it. You are in the property of the school. It's a school football game, and you are putting these religious banners onto school property. Therefore, it is school-sponsored speech.' And when it is school-sponsored speech, then it is subject to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, and that is that the government should not promote, endorse, or advance a particular religion."
Mike Johnson, who is representing many of the cheerleaders' families as senior counsel for the Liberty Institute -- a nonprofit group which says it is "committed to defending and restoring religious liberty across America" -- disagrees that the banners are school-sponsored, and argues that this is a quintessential example of students' private free speech and expression.
"If you have student-led, student-initiated expression, it is to be regarded as private speech. And because it is private speech, it can't be censored or silenced by the government, short of some reasonable limitations on school kids such as obscenity or a material and substantial disruption to the school day. We don't have any of that here," Johnson said.
Interpretation of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause is something Brandt says can be "a bit confused and confusing."
"Most legal scholars and many judges will admit that the opinions that come out in the Establishment Clause area have been lacking in consistency," Brandt told CNN. "There doesn't seem to have any clear guidance as to individual circumstances."
Kountze locals say town is "united"
A Facebook page started after the school district's decision called "Support Kountze Kids Faith," now has over 48,000 members, far surpassing the reaches of the roughly 2,100 residents of Kountze.
Coti Matthews says the whole town of Kountze supports her daughter and the cheerleaders, and believes they should be able to exercise their freedoms without interference.
"It was student-initiated, student-oriented. The school doesn't pay for any supplies. The school doesn't buy their uniforms. The school does not pay one dollar for anything having to do with cheerleading," she said. "The parents buy the uniforms, the camp clothes, shoes, pom-poms. The school doesn't purchase the paper or the paint or anything to make those banners."
Her daughter Macy looks forward to making religious-themed banners for the rest of her high school career.
"I would like to do this every year," Macy said. "We get into it pretty big."

From James Franco & Anne Hathaway's uneven hosting to Melissa Leo's bleeping win
By Geoff Berkshire, Metromix
If there's one word to sum up the 83rd Annual Academy Awards it has to be: awkward. It was a tone set from the start in the weird hosting dynamic between laidback squinter James Franco and manic giggler Anne Hathaway.
Picking two actors with no significant live entertainment experience to fill a job usually handled by a stand-up comic certainly sounded like a gamble. But surely, the Oscar producers knew what they were doing?
Apparently not. Franco and Hathaway struck out immediately with anemic opening patter and never really recovered. He looked aloof and disinterested (though it also seemed he was simply trying to get the job done without making too big a fool of himself). She was all too interested in getting everyone in the room on her side (never for a second worried about what a fool she'd look like in the process).
The one face-saving element of the whole unfortunate experiment: at least this was two actors struggling with subpar material instead of a comedian simply bombing with bad jokes. But next year, expect a comedian.

Managing Connection Failure - Wiki
Managing Connection Failure
In order to rapidly detect connection failures, the Etch KeepAlive message filter periodically checks the health of the client-server connection and resets it if it is not responsive. By default, KeepAlive messages are 15 seconds apart and if four KeepAlive messages fail, the connection is reset.
To Enable KeepAlive#
KeepAlive is enabled at the server by default. You must append the KeepAlive filter to the Connection URI in your client applications and plugins for them to work properly.
For example, if your Connection
String uri = "tls://localhost:4001?TlsConnection.authReqd=false";
Append the KeepAlive filter like so:
String uri = "tls://localhost:4001?TlsConnection.authReqd=false&filter=KeepAlive";
To Modify KeepAlive Parameters#
The KeepAlive filter has two parameters: KeepAlive.Delay and KeepAlive.Count. Delay controls the number of seconds between KeepAlive messages and Count controls the number of messages sent before the connection is reset. By default, KeepAlive messages are 15 seconds apart and if four KeepAlive messages fail, the connection is reset. You can reset them by modifying the Connection URI to override the defaults.
For example, the folllowing URI sets the Delay to 20 seconds and the Count to 5.
String uri = "tls://localhost:4001?TlsConnection.authReqd=false&filter=KeepAlive&KeepAlive.Delay=20000&KeepAlive.Count=5";
To Disable KeepAlive#
- Open C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Unified Application Environment\AppServer\AppServerService.exe.config.
- Set "EtchBridgeKeepAliveDelay" value to "0".
- Restart the AppServer service.

Retro Nikon debuts -- Nikonians react
Nikon's newest Digital Single-Lens Reflex is creating quite a buzz in our forums. The newly announced Nikon Df is an FX (full-frame camera) with 16.2 million effective pixels. It uses a standard 36x24 mm CMOS sensor (36.0 x 23.9 mm).

All-Star panel weighs in

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
You run as a threat to Israel in the entire world against this malicious intention reading world powers need to display determination and not weakness and -- should not make any concessions.
The Iran.
We need to put before it clear and -- -- critical demands.
It's liberals wouldn't do it.
Even new talks about Iran's nuclear program talks that the White House seemed to indicate it's.
Skeptical but slightly hopeful about.
For one thing actions and fulfillment of obligations -- -- We are very clear eyed about.
Iranian behavior.
This is Iran says the UN watchdog the international agency can.
Some of the inspections of nuclear facilities back -- the panel Fred what about these talks and where things seem to be had.
This whole thing with the inspectors it's coming this really is deja view we've been through this so many times we know how when ends.
They promise all these freedom do -- to inspectors.
And then after awhile and it takes a while the schedule of things and then they go and they see a little bit and then after a wildly.
The Iranians said they'll block the inspectors.
And I think we'll probably see that again but.
If you -- is clearly are scared about this next set of sanctions that the US and European countries -- would apply the ones on oil exports which you go into effect in July.
-- into their economy's not in good shape then that would really hurt it.
And they don't want that to happen and so indeed you can see what they're waiting to hear their -- into a situation where.
The that the Russians and the Chinese and others will say well let's wait and see how these inspections go.
And let's see of them -- just let it and look I was not push so hard so quickly and I think that would be a terrible mistake.
Meantime -- the Israelis say this is all of delaying tactic you know and the real question is will them.
West do anything in these talks to impede Israel's.
Freedom to decide whatever it wants to do I mean Israel's position hasn't changed.
The talks can go on and it's still reserves -- right to strike in May be at play is planning one now that Benjamin Netanyahu has a stronger coalition behind him.
But I think the real question.
In the short term is if you don't -- -- have these talks what else do you want to do right now.
On and that's a question the White House asked to Romney today.
Of course then nobody should give -- to Iran and these talks or make concessions in the White House says -- -- And Netanyahu says that he doesn't want them to but what is the alternative right now the alternative is to strike Iran I guess -- hasn't said he would do anything specifically different than.
So you're just got -- -- -- to make sure that the oil.
When it -- export sanctions go into a fax to really apply.
A lot more pressure look on -- and we can't dismiss the idea that the Iranians wouldn't that actually -- at some point America.
With such as the pattern.
With Iran and with the way that the west reacts and then you three.
Is -- they cross red line after red line the -- -- have all been there is not on our side going from 3.5.
Enrichment to 20% now and we just sort of go woman want and they sort of graciously condescending give something back which they should have been doing all along such as the investigators coming and and we credited sort of some sort of milestone I think it.
People are invested in the process.
And they don't want an impasse that would lead to higher gas prices -- type of thing and I think it's gonna lead to maybe Iran.
Getting once again what it wants instead of what -- -- The US senate yesterday -- this non binding resolution saying that there could be an attack on nuclear facilities it's an option but not authorizing it.
The White House has said all this talk of loose talk the president said about war.
Doesn't help the situation he said that it drives of the price of oil which is exactly what Iran wants right now.
But I agree the sanction should be as tough as possible right now what -- daughter the toughest yet that they do need to do do that oil you on the sanctions as well.
And the toughen the sanctions are the more you can truly test the theory that that that Iran might voluntarily give us.
Is there -- Fisher here between Mitt Romney saying the administration is not tough enough and what this administration is doing politically isn't.
Yeah well and I mean there's certainly difference from what a challenger so I say when something like this happening is that what he would do you.
My rival well I -- -- differently that's the question of when -- that's hard to say what he do differently I think he would.
Support the sanctions going into effect and would say no more delays.
No more -- the great tomorrow Hillary -- look this rigmarole about the don't let the inspectors don't let that impede.
That sanctions going into effect.
And greater demands on the -- in some of the things he can do I mean.
And we look as a challenger what's he gonna say I'm gonna bomb of course.
Quite yet to suggest that he would do something tougher it without saying what it is that have been quite I don't -- -- he has decided.
With that as it for the battle but stay tuned to see -- geography.

Raising his voice and sternly wagging his finger, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy said late Sunday that he won't stand by in the wake of recent violence, declaring a limited state of emergency and suggesting more such moves could be in the offing.
"I will act, and now I am acting," the defiant Morsy said in a nationally televised speech.
Morsy -- who became the North African nation's first democratically elected president last year but since has become a target of critics accusing him of amassing power for himself and his conservative allies -- imposed a 30-day curfew in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez. Under his order, people in those governorates cannot go out between 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The three northeastern Egyptian cities, all of them along the Suez Canal, have been sites of deadly violence in recent days.
It began Friday when protesters angry with Morsy's regime clashed with government supporters and police in Suez, Ismailia and elsewhere.
Then on Saturday and Sunday, 38 people died and more than 630 were injured in Port Said, where a riot broke out after news broke that 21 people from Port Said had been sentenced to death for their roles in a bloody 2012 riot at the coastal city's soccer stadium.
In his Sunday night speech, Morsy claimed people in these and other places had attacked public and private institutions, "terrorized civilians," blocked roads and taken up arms.
Those "criminals" responsible will face "justice as soon as possible," the president said. He added he has instructed the Interior Ministry, which oversees security forces, "to deal properly, and also with force, against those who attack the nation's institutions."
"We will deal with them severely," he said, insisting Egyptian authorities are capable of restoring peace and security.
The president invoked the so-called January 25 Revolution, the popular uprising two years ago that led to the ouster of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak.
Many of those who hit the streets on Friday did so to rail against Morsy, a former Muslim Brotherhood leader. At one point, Morsy declared himself immune from judicial oversight and pushed through a new constitution, actions his critics say were reminiscent of Mubarak.
On Sunday, the president said some demonstrators' violent "behavior does not have anything to do with the Egyptian revolution. ... In fact, it is against the revolution."
At the same time, he acknowledged the legitimate dissent in Egypt, as well as its impact on the country, and said "dialogue is the only way to bring about stability and security."
To this end, he invited representatives from 11 political parties to a meeting Monday. His spokesman, Yasir Ali, told state-run Nile TV that this meeting "is meant to address problems in Egypt, as opposed to express anger."
It's a sentiment that Morsy himself expressed a short time earlier, saying dialogue amongst various Egyptians was the only way for the country to reach peace and prosperity.
"We are going that way, all together," he said. "God bless Egypt, and make her safe for her people and the whole world."
Troops try to restore calm in Port Said
Roads in and out of Port Said, which sits along the Mediterranean Sea at the northern entrance of the Suez Canal, were shut down Sunday as authorities tried to maintain calm after the previous day's bloodshed.
It all stemmed from a February 1, 2012, riot at the close of a match between Cairo's prestigious Al-Ahly football club and the host Al-Masry team.
That day, 73 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in violence between supporters of the two teams. Many died falling from bleachers inside the stadium, while others suffocated.
