Here are the five stars nominated in the supporting actress category for the 85th annual Academy Awards.
Anne Hathaway, 30, in Les Miserables
Her role: Fantine, the devoted single mother driven to prostitution who succumbs to illness, but not before she sings one of the musical's most heartbreaking songs, I Dreamed a Dream.
Oscar history: Nominated for best actress as a recovering addict in 2008's Rachel Getting Married.
Why she might win: Hathaway's heart-wrenching performance checks off plenty of boxes — she sings, she cries, she dieted away 25 pounds, and she had her hair chopped off on camera. And she plays a whore with a heart of gold, an Oscar favorite.
Why she might lose: She is only onscreen for about 18 minutes, though she does get a sort-of encore at the end.
BEST PICTURE: Films run the gamut
SURPRISES: Bigelow, Affleck among 2013 snubs
MORE: A diverse Oscar field
NOMINEES: See the full list
Helen Hunt, 49, in The Sessions
Her role: Cheryl, a no-nonsense sex therapist with a killer bod and a kind heart, who helps a disabled writer finally lose his virginity.
Oscar history: Won best actress as a plain-Jane waitress and single mom in 1997's As Good as It Gets.
Why she might win: It has been a long time since Hunt had a worthy role, and the Academy loves a good comeback story. Plus, she gets naked — and looks fabulous doing so. The fact that her part is really a lead doesn't hurt, either.
Why she might lose: Her small-budget film didn't make as big of a splash in theaters as it probably should have.
Sally Field, 66, in Lincoln
Her role: Mary Todd Lincoln, the long-suffering, unstable yet loving first lady who weathered many a personal tragedy while standing by her man.
Oscar history: Won best actress twice, as a pro-union rebel in 1979's Norma Rae and a struggling farm widow in 1984's Places in the Heart.
Why she might win: She fought hard to win the role, even packing on pounds. Lincoln has the momentum as the film with the most nominations. Plus, as everyone knows, they LIKE her.
Why she might lose: Unlike Hathaway, she doesn't warble. Unlike Hunt, she keeps her shimmy on.
Amy Adams, 38, in The Master
Her role: Peggy Dodd, the seemingly subservient wife of a charismatic leader of a religious sect, who eventually reveals her inner Lady Macbeth.
Oscar history: Nominated for best supporting actress three times, as a sweet and very pregnant Southern wife in 2005's Junebug, as a naive nun in 2008's Doubt and a feisty Boston bartender in 2010's The Fighter.
Why she might win: After three previous tries, Adams is closing in on being overdue for a statuette.
Why she might lose: The Master opened with a bang in early fall, but fizzled quickly.
Jacki Weaver, 65, in Silver Linings Playbook
Her role: Dolores, a good-natured blue-collar mother of a volatile clan of Philadephia Eagles fanatics.
Oscar history: Nominated for supporting actress as the sociopathic matriarch of a crime family in 2010's Animal Kingdom.
Why she might win: The veteran Aussie actress managed to nail a part that was the polar opposite of her previously nominated performance, while more than holding her own opposite Robert De Niro as her obsessive-compulsive hubby.
Why she might lose: Comedy roles often aren't taken as seriously as high drama.

Gail W. Haut, MD, loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and dedicated physician passed away on Aug. 19, 2007, at age 90 in Bakersfield, Calif.
Gail was born on June 17, 1917, in Manhattan in New York City, NY as the only child of Gustav and Eva Haut. He grew up in Manhattan and the Bronx, attending Peter Stuyvesant High School where he became intrigued with the study of science, especially biology and chemistry.
Following his undergraduate work at Columbia University, Gail obtained his MD from the Long Island School of Medicine. In the midst of WWII Gail married Margaret Silbernagel on July 25, 1942, and was called to active military duty later that year.
During his tour of duty with the Army, Gail was sent to China where one of his assignments was to accompany an interpreter by horseback along the Indo-Chinese border to oversee the administration of vaccine to Chinese troops. During his service in the army, Gail rose from the rank of lieutenant to captain and ultimately to major. While he was in China, his first son, David, was born. After his return to the US in 1945, Gail lived in the New York-New Jersey area and trained to specialize in the field of radiology. His daughter, Virginia, was born during this time.
In 1952, Gail and Margaret moved to eastern Utah where he was the only radiologist in the area for 15 years. Eventually they would add three more children to the family while Gail worked at the regional hospital in Price, Utah. For a time, he served as chief of staff at the Price Hospital and is credited with leading that hospital to accreditation and the high standard of medical care that accompanied such certification.
Motivated to learn more in the field of radiology and nuclear medicine, Gail moved his family again in 1966, this time to Minnesota where he served on the faculty of the University of Minnesota's School of Medicine. In 1970, Gail moved his family one last time to Bakersfield where he worked at Mercy Hospital (Truxtun Avenue) as a radiologist for more than 20 years.
While living in Bakersfield, Gail was a founding member of the Kern County Right to Life Committee in 1970 and served on the board for several years. He also served on the board for the Kern County Sunday School Association for many years and was a member of both Laurelglen Bible Church and Kern City Community Church.
Gail is survived by his wife of 65 years, Margaret; his five children, son, David, Hawaii; daughter, Ginger ( Cal Evans) Rhode, Sandy, Utah; son, Andrew( Debbie)Haut, Bakersfield, Calif.; daughter, Debbie (Joe) Castaneda, Layton, Utah; son, John, Monrovia, Calif.; 11 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; eight nieces and nephews.
He will be remembered for his generous and ever-cheerful nature and an endless supply of jokes and puns. His children and grandchildren will remember him as a man who lived his faith.
Graveside service, Friday, Aug, 24,2007, 1:30 p.m. Price City Cemetery, Price, Utah. Family will gather at Mitchell Funeral Home at 1 p.m.
A memorial service will be held Sept. 15, 2007, 11 a.m. at the Kern City Community Church in the Kern City Town Hall in Bakersfield, Calif. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price.

Southern and Jewish, Whererever We Live
Why did the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life (ISJL) meet in Chicago for its recent board meeting?
Well… why not?
Many of our board members divide their time and attention between both large and small towns in the South. Others share a story similar to my story.
I grew up in Wynne, Arkansas, also known as "The City with a Smile" and home of the Wynne Yellowjackets. I attended synagogue, religious school and youth group events at Temple Israel in Memphis, Tennessee, just a short 60 mile drive east over the Mississippi River. I loved spending my summers going to camp at Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, Mississippi, where I embraced my Jewish identity and found lifelong Jewish friends. Always, I had my immediate family around me who lovingly taught me how family and Judaism were intertwined and a part of my life and tradition.
For the past 25 years, I have lived in Chicago and its suburbs. I am involved in the Jewish community, ensured my children went to religious school and had their bar and bat mitzvahs, and remain an active member of a congregation. However, I have continued to have a strong connection with my Southern heritage, my Southern Jewish heritage. Visiting my parents when they still lived in Wynne, and now where they live in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is wonderful—but visiting was not enough.
I felt like I wanted and needed to do more to stay involved and be involved. A few years ago, I was approached about serving on the Board of the ISJL, and was asked if I would be interested in working with the group that delivers amazing rabbinic services, educational programming and cultural events to communities throughout the ISJL's thirteen-state region. I found out more about the history department and preservation initiatives, as well as the cultural tours and travelling exhibitions of the museum department. I was intrigued with the community engagement department, which was newly formed at the time but has now developed into a program which partners with nonprofits, schools and congregations to pursue tikkun olam, repairing our world, in meaningful ways.

U.S. Forest Service Offers Winter Yurt, Cabin Adventures
While some may close up tents and winterize recreational vehicles this time of year, there are others who look forward to a winter filled with adventures on forests and grasslands. The draw is yurts and historic cabins available to rent that offer a bit of solitude for camping, a dose of adventure on skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles, and a lifetime of memories.
A yurt is a circular tent with canvas walls. There are many different styles and sizes of yurts, but generally each yurt is different in what it offers. Typically, you can expect to provide your own bedding, food, and cooking supplies. Some include beds, tables and chairs. Others have camp stoves and wood burning stoves. Check information on Recreation.gov before making your reservation and committing to a stay. Read more »

Statewide HMA Map
The Bureau of Land Management maintains and manages wild horses or burros in "herd management areas" (HMAs). The BLM establishes an "appropriate management level" (AML) for each HMA. The AML is the population objective for the HMA that will ensure a thriving ecological balance among all the users and resources of the HMA–for example, wildlife, livestock, wild horses, vegetation, water, and soil. Wyoming has no wild burros.
The Antelope Hills HMA encompasses 57,000 acres, of which 54,600 are BLM-administered public lands. The AML for this HMA is 60-82 adult horses. The area is located approximately 15 miles south/southeast of Atlantic, City, Wyoming. Elevations in the HMA range from 7,100 to 7,250 feet along Cyclone Rim. The HMA is bisected by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The area receives 5-7 inches of precipitation annually. The predominate vegetation type is sagebrush/grass. Riparian zones are infrequent but very important to wild horses, wildlife, and livestock. The topography ranges from rolling flatlands south of Cyclone Rim, uplifted ridges along Cyclone Rim, and abrupt rocky zones interspersed with rolling lands north of the rim to the Sweetwater River.
The Crooks Mountain HMA is located directly southeast of Sweetwater Station, Wyoming, and encompasses about 51,000 acres. The AML for this HMA is 65-100 adult horses. Elevations in the HMA range from 6,900 to 8,100 feet. The lower elevations receive approximately 10-14 inches of precipitation annually, and the upper elevations receive 15-20 inches annually. The major vegetation types are sagebrush/grass, woodland, and riparian. Topography within the HMA is generally rolling hills and slopes to the north and south of Crooks Mountain. The Crooks Mountain portion of the herd area is quite steep and broken with mountainous terrain. The area supports significant wildlife populations of elk, deer, and antelope. Livestock graze the area from May to December.
These four HMAs are located in southeast Fremont County. They encompass about 375,000 acres of land, of which about 90% are BLM-administerd public lands. While the four HMAs are managed with recognized individual populations, there is no geographic separation of the HMAs and the gates between them remain open a significant part of the year. As a result, the horses move regularly among the HMAs, helping to ensure the overall genetic health of the horses. Topography of the area includes high ridges and steep terrain with grand vistas. Beaver Rim, located on the western edge of the HMAs, is a beautiful, high escarpment with amazing views of the Wind River Mountains, Copper Mountains, and Owl Creek Mountains. Elevations in the HMAs range from 5,300 to 7,200 feet. The area receives 5 to 12 inches of precipitation a year, depending on the elevation, most of it in the form of snow.
The AML for these HMAs is 320 horses. A full range of colors is present. Most horses are solid in color. The horses range from 11 to 15 hands and 750-1000 pounds mature weight. Health is good with few apparent problems. Domestic cattle and sheep utilize the area during spring, summer, and fall. Vegetation is dominated by various sage and grass species. Elk, deer, and antelope also inhabit this area.
The Green Mountain HMA encompasses 88,000 acres, of which 74,000 acres are BLM-administered public lands. Topography within the herd area is generally gently rolling hills and slopes north and south of Green Mountain. Green Mountain itself is quite steep with mountainous terrain and conifer/aspen forests. Elevations range from 6,200 to 9,200 feet with grand vistas of the Red Desert, Sweetwater Rocks, and Oregon Trail from the higher elevations. Precipitation ranges from 10-14 inches at the lower elevations to 15-20 inches at the upper elevations. Most of the precipitation is in the form of snow.
The AML for this HMA is 300 horses. A full range of colors is present. Most horses are solid in color, but a noticeable number of tobiano paints are present. The horses range from 11 to 15 hands and 750-1000 pounds mature weight. Health is good with few apparent problems. Domestic cattle and sheep utilize the area in all seasons with summer cattle use predominating. Vegetation around the mountain is dominated by various sage, grass, woodland, and riparian species. The area supports significant wildlife populations of elk, deer, antelope, and moose.
We Need Your HelpWe invite you to view wild horses;however, it is unlawful to chase and/or catch them.Please allow them to live a free and untroubled life.
Help our wild horses by reporting illegal activity.Contact your BLM office or call BLM Law EnforcementLander Field Office1335 Main Street, P.O. Box 589Lander, WY 82520307.332.8400

Good shoe
"When i saw this online i thought wow this would be a great shoe for work and I was right! It fits great, looks good for the price, (although could've been constructed a little more securely but it is good enough as this was an inexpensive shoe) feels very comfortable when walking. I will get as much use out of them as I can"

All about comfort!
"I've been looking at this pair of shoes since Christmas and I finally decided to get them. I just wish if the heel height was a bit higher as they appeared to be online. It was my first time purchasing shoes online and I was surprised that they fit so well. I've got my Levity bag to match so I'm hoping for a classy look :)"

They are just ok
"I had these shoes on my wish list for months before I bought them. I needed another "go-to" black pair for work and sling backs are my preferred choice. Unfortunately these didn't do it for me. I felt the quality was just ok, didn't think they would hold up on the long run and the front was a bit narrow too and stiff."

"I can't say enough good things about this shoe! So stylish, sexy, and comfortable. It surpassed my expectations. I bought it in black, now I'm hoping the have my size available soon in Taupe."

"These shoes are gorgeous! However, they seem to run small because they were way to snug and I had to return them. I tried to wear them around the house to see if they would stretch, but it was unbearable! And, I wear size 11, and they don't go up any higher in sizes. So, i'm still on the hunt for a pair of shoes as cute as these!"

|In response to Re: Leak from Hot Water Copper Pipe
: Last evening, I noticed certain parts of my wood parquet floor had heaved in a hallway and in my dining room adjacent to a kitchen wall. Upon closer inspection, I found hot water seeping out of a section of my kitchen wall. Shutting off the main hot water supply stopped the water flow. After attending to soaking out some of the water, I proceeded to open up the lower 3 ft of waterlogged gysum board by hand. Thereafter, I found 2 copper risers, both with several connection joints at about 2 ft. off the floor. Both of these pipes come out of the concrete slab in a vinyl soft sheath. The sheath containing the hot water pipe was full of water. I expected to see water flying out of the elbow and/or connection joints after I turned the hot water back on. Surprisingly, nothing happened other than a couple of bubbles coming from within the sheath. The hot water has been back on for twelve hours since and no water has seeped out of the pipe or sheath at all. I am at a loss as to what may have caused the initial leak as I have done nothing at this location other than wiggling the joints a little to see if anything was loose. Can you please give me some ideas as to what may have caused the leak? Sorry about the length of this question. Thanks.
Two things could have happened. Well, maybe three things.

Mikhail Grabovski in a Washington Capitals shirt
Steve Dangle
September 14 2013 12:25PM
Pfff this picture of Grabo in Caps gear doesn't make me miserable and sad at all pfffffft...
...Ok this sucks.
Mikhail Grabovski is back in town....sort of. About an hour outside of it.
The Washington Capitals are taking on the Winnipeg Jets in Belleville, Ontario tonight in an NHL exhibition game, and Grabo is in attendance. That's where Liam McGuire snapped this picture that totally doesn't make me weep openly in public.
The game's location is to honour the Kraft Hockeyville game that Stirling-Rawdon, Ontario had previously won, but was postponed because of that stupid dumb smelly lockout thing. Right down the road from Stirling: Belleville aka Bellevegas.
Grabo doesn't actually return to play hockey Toronto until November 23rd when the Caps visit the Leafs.
Hey look, it's Grabovski posing with a fan who posted this picture on Twitter because he's a swell guy.
Even though Grabovski is great and amazing and great, I'm TOTALLY not gonna miss him, you guys. Nope. Not at all.

Question 20 of 20
When Grover Cleveland was running for the U.S. presidency in 1884, the opposing party accused him of fathering an illegitimate child. What did Cleveland do in response?
He denied the accusation.
He admitted it was true.
Surprisingly, Cleveland confirmed the charge was true -- perhaps he felt freer to do so because he was a bachelor at the time. Smart move. He was elected president twice, the only person to do so non-consecutively and he married two years into his first term.
He denied it but had to retract when a newspaper confirmed it was true.
