Methodology: To compile an authoritative list of books that are likely to cheer you up, we asked people on io9's Facebook page, so we could gather as wide a sample as we could. Then we picked some of the best answers, based on purely unscientific criteria. (Including wanting this list to include a mixture of superfamous and slightly more obscure titles.) Please tell us your perfect pick-me-up book in the comments!
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
What it's about: Planet Earth is destroyed just before it fulfills its secret purpose of generating the question to the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, but one Earthling escapes: Arthur Dent, a hapless everyman who's swept up in an unpredictable adventure aboard the bizarre spaceship Heart of Gold. Whew. You didn't think I could summarize that in one sentence, did you?
Why it's a pick-me-up: There's just something about Adams' loopy humor. Says Bianca, "It always picks me right up and even makes me feel better when I'm not feeling depressed." Says Moira, "I read it every year as state tests or ACT/SAT approached and the system felt too big and too terrible to bear."
Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny
What it's about: Curt Corey wakes up in a New York hospital, suffering from amnesia — and then discovers that he's actually Corwin, one of nine princes of Amber, the "real world" of which all other worlds, including Earth, are shadows. Corwin must face his brother Eric's armies, plus demon assassins and eerie structures, to claim his throne.
Why it's a pick-me-up: It's a thrilling combination of detective novel (as Corwin tries to figure out the truth of his identity) with action-adventure story, with a lot of character study thrown in. Corwin is a fun protagonist to root for, as he outwits the sister who kept him drugged and hidden in an Earth hospital and then makes his way home to disrupt his brother's coronation. It's like a more self-aware Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison
What it's about: The first of many books about "Slippery" Jim DiGriz, con artist and rogue, who cuts a swathe across the galaxy with his dirty deeds and occasional outbreaks of heroism, with his beautiful, deadly wife Angela.
Why it's a pick-me-up: This is another series where the goofy humor and upbeat, heist-movie feel just make you feel like you can deal with anything that comes along. Harrison's writing is so much fun, you can't help but identify with the insouciant trickster hero. "Instant mood boost," says Linda.
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
What it's about: Yes, before there was a Hayao Miyazaki movie, there was a classic young adult novel. The book has much the same basic plot: a young woman named Sophie gets cursed to transform into an old woman, and then meets a wizard named Howl, who lives in a magical castle that moves around, with his fire demon. The book is more fairytale-like, with a lot of interlocking mysteries and clever subversions of tropes.
Why it's a pick-me-up: As The Book Smugglers explains, it's a really clever, beautifully written book that reinvents the Beauty and the Beast saga into something where both characters are Beauty and Beast at different times. And it's a book that celebrates language, and shows that words are the true magic.
Callahan's Crosstime Saloon by Spider Robinson
What it's about: This 1977 story collection and its many sequels take place in a very special watering hole, where all of space and time meet and cyborgs, aliens, telepaths and time travelers share their troubles over a drink. It's very similar to Munden's Bar from the Grimjack comics (which it probably helped to inspire.)
Why it's a pick-me-up: This is another series where the goofy good humor and sweetness carry you through — it's like Cheers for space/time travelers, the bar where every sentient knows your name. It also spawned a popular PC game.
Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
What it's about: Sort of an origin story: Sam Vimes of the City Watch gets swept back in time to his own early days, along with a criminal who murders Sam's mentor — and Sam must train himself to be a proper guard.
Why it's a pick-me-up: Actually, Pratchett's books in general earn many, many recommendations for being a source of great comfort. Says Gina, "I keep one of his books with me almost all the time. Just a few pages and I feel like the world is okay again." But Night Watch earns special mention — writing in the Guardian, Cate says, this book is her favorite because it "combines both the darkness and the humor" of Pratchett's best writing. In a separate Guardian article, famed author A.S. Byatt says Night Watch proves that "Pratchett is a master storyteller."
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
What it's about: Basically, a retelling of the Arthurian legends from the perspective of the female characters. Morgaine is reimagined as a priestess of the old Druid religion, trying to protect her matriarchal traditions against the influx of Christianity, rather than a one-dimensional villain.
Why it's a pick-me-up: It's a thousand pages of pure addictive goddess crack. As Nicole Cliffe writes in The Awl, "I completely tore through it and wore more dresses for a while and dragged out my Loreena McKennitt CDs and took a lot of baths with Lush products and pretended to be a servant to the Goddess." Says Ceridwen at Goodreads, "This is by far my favorite reading experience. It was like a drug, like sex, like neither of these things, like itself."
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
What it's about: When Meg's father disappears, it's up to her and her weird brother Charles Wallace to plumb the mysteries of the tesseract and get him back, by facing up to the evil superbrain known as "IT".
Why it's a pick-me-up: It's fun and clever and full of musings about time and space and being a misfit, and in the end the key to defeating "IT" comes from love — and somehow, it's not cheesy at all, it's just perfect.
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
What it's about: J.R.R. Tolkien's classic story about the Hobbit Frodo's quest to deliver the One Ring to the fires of Mount Doom to destroy it before the Eye of Sauron can claim ultimate power. Frodo's helped by his fellow Hobbits, plus Gandalf and the Fellowship of the Ring — but being the "ring-bearer" means a huge temptation and a massive challenge.
Why it's a pick-me-up: Says Harri, "LoTR has been my default release valve for 30 years now. It's the only book I re-read regularly." Adds Alison, "It was LOTR for me 20 years before the movies were ever made, and it's still LOTR, because the movies are nice but they can't replace Tolkien's language."
Ready Player One by Ernie Cline
What it's about: In the 2040s, the virtual OASIS replaces the Web, and Wade Watts escapes into its virtual world — and then gets swept up in trying to find the three keys to unlock an easter egg that will allow him to inherit the fortune of the late James Halliday.
Why it's a pick-me-up: A lot of people mentioned that this had become their new go-to book for cheering up. Like we said in our review, "despite its dystopian flavor, the novel doesn't shy away from giving us lovable characters who succeed through teamwork, anti-authoritarianism, and a love of online anonymity... It goes down like escapism, but sticks with you like a fable should."
Dune by Frank Herbert
What it's about: On the desert planet Arrakis, Paul Atreides and his mother must survive after his father's bloody murder, and Paul leads the Fremen in a holy war to reclaim his birthright and reshape the entire universe.
Why it's a pick-me-up: As psychologist Maria Konnikova wrote for io9 a while back, Dune contains lots of lessons about how to cope with real-life stress and trauma. As Bookslut adds, "Rather than rely on the tropes of the genre, rocket ships and ray guns, Herbert imagines a time when the greatest weapon in the universe is the human mind and spirit. The story is in many ways the spiritual evolution of Paul Atreides."
War for the Oaks by Emma Bull
What it's about: Eddi McCandry is a down-and-out rock 'n' roll singer, whose band has just broken up and whose boyfriend has just dumped her. But then she gets drafted into a secret war between good and evil faeries, and it's time to rock for reals.
Why it's a pick-me-up: "I just feel good when I finish reading it," says Erin. Smart Bitches Trashy Books says this book has everything you need in a book except pirates and spaceships, adding: " if you combine it with some good coffee and some good songs in the background, I can almost guarantee you the perfect day."
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
What it's about: Just like the movie that's based on it, this is a novel about Buttercup, a girl whose great love Westley goes off to sea and has an unfortunate encounter with Dread Pirate Roberts, leading Buttercup to agree to marry the odious Prince Humperdinck — except that she's kidnapped first. This book is structured as "the good parts" of a much longer book by S. Morgenstern, which doesn't actually exist.
Why it's a pick-me-up: Like a lot of the books on this list, it's just pure escapist fun, with lively, clever writing including lots of silly parentheticals. "My first choice," says Jorge. "It never gets old and always makes me smile."
The Harry Potter Books by J.K. Rowling
What it's about: Harry Potter is a young boy living with odious relatives, when he finds out that he's actually destined to be a wizard — and he has a mysterious connection to the evil Voldemort, who killed his real parents and is plotting to return and seek revenge. Harry goes to the fantastical school Hogwarts and learns magic, while coming to grips with his terrible nemesis.
Why it's a pick-me-up: A ton of people mentioned this series, which is one of the all-time great escapist fantasies about growing up and learning your power — which turns quite dark in the later books as Harry's burden grows heavier and he copes with real loss and adversity.
Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
What it's about: It's a very bleak apocalyptic novel about the deadly substance called Ice-9 which can freeze everything in the world — but it's also a screamingly funny philosophical masterpiece, about how we're all connected by coincidence, and how the greatest truths are also shameful lies.
Why it's a pick-me-up: As Strange Horizons explains in a lovely essay, Vonnegut's book shows that we can choose to believe in foma (or lies, basically) that comfort us and make us "kind and happy and healthy," as Vonnegut puts it. There's a certain cheerfulness in embracing the meaning of meaninglessness.
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
What it's about: Armageddon, the end of the world, is coming, according to the 17th century book The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch — but the demon Crowley and the Angel Aziraphale have decided they don't want the world to end. So they decide to raise the Antichrist to be unable to choose between good and evil, but unfortunately they have the wrong boy.
Why it's a pick-me-up: Like a lot of the other books on this list, it's both funny and whimsical — but also, it's a very humanist story, as Jo Walton explains in Tor.com: "This is the theme of the whole book, that it is humanity who are the best and the worst, [and] Heaven and Hell don't stack up."

Huffington Post – by TAMI ABDOLLAH
LOS ANGELES — John Zawahri left a farewell note in which he expressed remorse for killing his father and brother but left no explanation for the rampage that left them and three others dead in Santa Monica, police said Thursday.
The three- to four-page handwritten note was found on Zawahri's body after he was shot and killed June 7 by officers on the campus of Santa Monica College, Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said at a news conference.
In the note, which was conversational in tone, 23-year-old Zawahri also said goodbye to friends and expressed hope that his mother would be taken care of and receive recompense from his father's estate.
Seabrooks said investigators believe mental illness played a role in the killings, but she didn't give details.
"We know his was a troubled life and that he experienced mental health challenges," Seabrooks said. "We believe that his mental health challenges likely played a role in his decisions to shoot and kill both his father and his brother, to set fire to the family home, and to go on a 13-minute shooting spree spanning roughly 1.5 miles and which left five innocent people dead and three people injured."
Zawahri apparently built his own .223-caliber assault rifle, using it to shoot his father and brother before he set fire to their family home, officials said earlier Thursday.
Zawahri's mother was out of the country visiting family in Lebanon during Friday's rampage but cut short her trip and returned home Sunday. She has been interviewed by detectives.
Seabrooks said the semi-automatic weapon appears to have been built with component parts that are legal to obtain, but put together make the rifle illegal in California.
She said he also modified an antique black-powder .44 revolver so that it could hold .45-caliber ammunition; it was loaded during the shooting and he carried it with him in a duffel bag.
Zawahri's rampage ended when police killed him in the Santa Monica College library Friday. To get there, he had carjacked a woman, directing her to the college and having her stop so he could fire at vehicles and strangers. Police still did not know why he chose to go to the college, why he targeted those killed or why he chose that day.
Santa Monica police plan to work with the FBI to understand Zawahri's psychological makeup and motivation, Seabrooks said.
Officials said Thursday that the fire at Zawahri's father's home, which erupted soon after neighbors heard shots fired, was intentionally set.
An official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the fires were started in a front living room and atop one of two twin beds in another room. Several boxes of matches were also found in the bedroom.
Firefighters found the bodies of the gunman's father and brother in a back bedroom that was uninvolved in the blaze. The house was found unkempt with files and papers scattered throughout, providing ample kindling.
In Zawahri's bedroom, investigations found illegal zip guns, Seabrooks said. They also found ample evidence of his fascination with weapons, including four replica airsoft pellet guns, knives and gun magazines, said Sgt. Richard Lewis. Investigators also found materials that indicate he likely assembled the weapon.
Though Zawahri fired about 100 rounds during the rampage, police said he was carrying 1,300 rounds of ammunition in magazines that were capable of holding 30 rounds each. Such high-capacity magazines are illegal to purchase, sell or transfer in California. Possession is not illegal. He also had a spare upper receiver and the antique revolver with him in a duffel bag.
Zawahri's last reported contact with law enforcement was seven years ago, when bomb-making materials were found at his house during a search prompted by threats to students, teachers and campus police officers at Olympic High, a school for students with academic or disciplinary issues.
The Santa Monica-Malibu school board was briefed at the time by school administrators after police found Zawahri was learning to make explosives by downloading instructions from YouTube, school board member Oscar de la Torre said.
Retired police officer Cristina Coria, who helped serve the search warrant, said Zawahri was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation at the time. She didn't know the outcome of the evaluation.
Police declined to provide further details, saying Zawahri was a minor at the time. But once a person is held for such an exam, they cannot access or possess firearms for five years.
In the case of Zawahri, that prohibition would have expired in 2011.
Police said Thursday that in 2011, Zawahri tried to buy a weapon but was denied by the California Department of Justice, likely because of that 2006 incident.
Despite that denial, Seabrooks said, Zawahri was able to buy the component parts to build his own weapon and obtain an array of magazines.
Santa Monica police said they will work with the ATF to understand how he came to possess these gun components, Seabrooks said.

How do the brain and body work together to generate adaptive behavior, i.e., behavior that allows animals to survive and reproduce? Our laboratory addresses this question through the use of multiple approaches, including neurophysiology, modeling, computer simulation, and novel techniques for characterizing the biomechanics and neural control of the feeding apparatus of the marine mollusk, Aplysia californica. We have used magnetic resonance imaging to visualize movements of the feeding musculature in intact, behaving animals, and computer simulation to create three-dimensional models of the musculature. We have extended these studies through the creation of models of the feeding apparatus that incorporate forces and neural control, and have tested the predictions of these models through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Another way in which we have tested hypothesis about the function of the mechanical system is by constructing biologically-inspired robots. At the same time, we have begun to develop novel techniques for wirelessly recording and stimulating neurons in intact, behaving animals. These studies are providing insights into the biological principles that underlie adaptive behavior, and into the design of biologically-inspired artificial devices that will have the flexibility of animals.
Three short movies from our research:
- A magnetic resonance image (MRI) movie of an intact behaving Aplysia as it bites
- A kinematic model of the feeding apparatus, based in part on the magnetic resonance images shown in the first movie
- A robot that we build based on the mechanics of the buccal mass

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 T vanilla
Yum! These looks so good. I love the orange incing on top of the white icing, it's really effective.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this recipe! I have a creamsicle cake recipe, but it uses a boxed mix and jello mix. Its delicious, but I really prefer to not use mixes. I will definetly be giving this a try this summer :)ReplyDelete
These look fantastic! I can't wait to make them this summer!ReplyDelete
These look so good! I've been looking for a recipe for orange cream cupcakes for awhile now...I'm definitely making these!ReplyDelete
Great looking cupcake and I'm sure even if there was no vodka that the folks at your husband's office loved receiving them.ReplyDelete
Very delightful looking cupcakes, I want one!ReplyDelete
Thanks for Sharing! just made these today for mothers day!! And of course I had to test one out before giving to guest, and man oooh man these are amazing!!!!ReplyDelete
I love orange creamsicles! I bet these cupcakes are sooo yummy and I love your photos!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this amazing fun recipe!! I can't believe I actually pulled it off! I felt like a real baker! and that tasted like I bought them from a yummy bakery!sooo good!!ReplyDelete
@Jamie Lea - glad they turned out for you! They are definitely on my favorites list.ReplyDelete
These look great! Can't wait to try them! That cocktail sounds wonderful, would you share the 'recipe'? Thanks! ~Shannon :)ReplyDelete
@Shannon - it's not much of a recipe... in a short glass, just add ice, mix one shot of whipped vodka, and fill with orange Fanta or other orange soda of your choice.ReplyDelete
These look heavenly! Definatly adding to my recipe to-do list. All our recipes look yummy. You got a new follower here! Can't wait to see all you have in store.ReplyDelete
I made these and the cake part came out great but my icing is weird..too sweet and doesn't look anything like yours :(ReplyDelete
I can't wait to try these! They sound so yummy!!! Where do you get all your cupcake liners?ReplyDelete
@Penni - Thanks - hope you like them. I get cupcake liners from a lot of places, I pick them up whenever I see cute ones but I buy a lot of them at Hobby Lobby/Michaels or online through the Cupcake Shoppe or Bake It Pretty.ReplyDelete
@Vanessa - not sure what happened, I'm sorry they didn't turn out like you were hoping.ReplyDelete
We just made these cupcakes last night and they were delicious! We found the photo of your cupcakes on Pinterest and were inspired to make them.
We are blogging about all of the things we try/do by being inspired by Pinterest at: www.inspiredbypinterest.blogspot.com !
Thanks for the recipe!
I love baking but do not do the fully from Scratch thing so I made this and adjusted as follows....
Duncan Hines white cake mix with the following
3 eggs, 1cup mayo and 1cup fresh OJ
Turned out fabulous!
Made Frosting as suggested
I've never heard of something so delicious! Thank you for posting! I must try these!ReplyDelete
I tried these out tonight. The cake itself was absolutely perfect - moist and zingy. The marshmallow filling and the frosting, though, were so cloyingly sweet I couldn't eat more than one bite of a complete cupcake.
I'll be saving the cake recipe for sure, at least!
I made this for my sis-in-law's baby shower. They were really yummy. I ended up using orange extract and adding a little more butter instead of the citrus olive oil (whatever that is.) So good.ReplyDelete
This look amazing! I included them in a round up of cupcakes on my blog! You can check out the link...http://sittingatourkitchentable.blogspot.com/2011/07/me-likey-monday.html
Have a great week!
I just made these today and they are delicious! I will absolutely be making them again soon.ReplyDelete
Is it really 2 TABLESPOONS of vanilla? That seems a lot to me? I just put them in the over and used 2 teaspoons of vanilla instead. I hope it still works!ReplyDelete
Kerry it is 2 tablespoons and it is a lot but that's what hives the cupcakes the creamsicle Flavor. Not using as much shouldn't mess you up too much but it will cut back on some of the flavor, I'm not sure if they will be short on liquid ingredients enough to notice it. I hope they turn out for you.ReplyDelete
I tried the frosting/marshmallow last night on a vanilla cupcake- IT IS SO YUMMY! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Wow, these looks great! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)ReplyDelete
I made these for a potluck at work and they were a big hit : ) Thank you for sharing the wonderful recipe!
However I had problems with both the fluffy filling and the frosting setting up properly. I may have used too much butter? Planing to try again soon, hopefully with more success!
What a unique cupcake. They look and sound delicious. This is my first visit toyour blog, so I took some time to browse through your earlier posts. I'm so glad I did that. I really like the recipes you share with your readers. I enjoyed the time I spent here and I definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...MaryReplyDelete
These look delicious! Will the frosting hold up overnight or should it be made the day of serving. I know marshmallow fluff can be a little finicky sometimes.ReplyDelete
I have now made these AMAZING cupcakes twice, and fowarded your blog to others who wanted the recipe. I made orange cupcake wrappers on my Silhouette and tinted the orange icing to match the color exactly. Wish I could show a picture! Thank you for creating and sharing.ReplyDelete
@Maryanna - The marshmallow fluff will be ok the next day but I do prefer it the same day.
@Patty - sounds adorable. Glad you liked them!
So am I the only one interested in the cocktail (Orange Fanta and Vodka)...recipe???? The cupcakes look yummy.ReplyDelete
@ccdean - it's not much of a recipe... in a short glass, just add ice, mix one shot of whipped vodka, and fill with orange Fanta or other orange soda of your choice. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
Oooh, I'm pinning this to make for my Dad! He LOVES orange creamsicle flavored things! :)ReplyDelete
WHAT is citrus olive oil? do you make it?> buy it ? never seen it before !ReplyDelete
@Becca - I bought mine but I would think you could make it as well. I actually bought my bottle while on a trip in California, but I've also seen it at stores like Williams-Sonoma. You can also order it online.ReplyDelete
Just made this recipe for my daughter's birthday!! Doubled the recipe and used 10" cake pans instead of cupcake pans. Added some shortening to the orange buttercream to cut back the sweetness. It was delicious!!! I carved out a shallow well on both the top and bottom layers for the marshmallow filling, then iced the cake with the buttercream. Everyone loved it!! I will most definitely make this again!ReplyDelete
I made over the weekend, but used the suggestion of premade cake mix shortcut and then made the filling and icing as directed. They were DELICIOUS!ReplyDelete
I made these according to the recipe and they had a wonderful flavor (!), but were very dense. Are they supposed to be?ReplyDelete
Made these a few weeks ago for my sister's graduation party. They were so AWESOME that I am mking them again (they are in the oven right now!) but this time I substituted keylimes for the oranges!ReplyDelete
I just made these today and they are delicious. Mine didn't come out even close to that orange. Did you add food coloring??ReplyDelete
Thanks for the delicious recipe. My sister and I just won a family cupcake war using your recipe :)ReplyDelete
WTF is citrus olive oil? REALLY?ReplyDelete
Hmm, my cupcakes were not like what I am finding in the comments here. My cupcakes were dense, grainy, unfavorable, and not at all sweet - this is just the cake itself. I decided not to waste the time or ingredients on the rest of it. If the cake itself was so bad, I wasn't going to continue, because if it takes the filling and icing to compensate for the cake then the cupcake is not a good cupcake. I followed the directions to a T and the ingredients I used were top notch. It could be the baker, but I have won several awards for my baking skill, but I won't rule anything out.ReplyDelete
I actually enjoyed the cupcake part itself, because the icing was so sweet that it made up for the lack of sweetness in the cake. It was however fairly dense. My problem was that the marshmallow filling literally tasted like sweet butter. To anyone making this-- seriously cut down on the butter in this filling. Possibly do more than 7oz. Of marshmallow and less butter. It made me want to gag! I was also disappointed in the icing. It tasted okay but was so sweet! And nothing like the color in the picture. There had to have been some food coloring in that. It wasn't orange at all actually. Cream with the shavings is all.ReplyDelete
OMG these might possibly be the BEST cupcakes I have EVER had!!! My mom would not stop praising me and my brother would not stop eating the batter. I didn't have a density problem, although I did add yogurt to the heavy cream. And if that doesn't work substitute 1/4 of granulated sugar for brown sugar. Just some tips I have picked up ;). Anyhow I found the frosting amazingly delicious but unnecessary because the filling was sweet enough. Also, I split the orange zest between the frosting and batter (which was super thick). AND, you HAVE to add food coloring for an orangey color.ReplyDelete

LOS ANGELES — Ben Affleck's "Argo," a film about a fake movie, has earned a very real prize: best picture at the Academy Awards.
From the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama joined Jack Nicholson to help present the final prize.
"There are eight great films that have every right, as much a right to be up here as we do," Affleck said of the other best-picture nominees.
In share-the-wealth mode, Oscar voters spread Sunday's honors among a range of films, with "Argo" winning three trophies but "Life of Pi" leading with four.
Daniel Day-Lewis joined a select group of recipients with his third Oscar, taking the best-actor trophy for his monumental performance as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War saga "Lincoln."
"Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence triumphed in Hollywood's big games, winning the best actress as a damaged soul in "Silver Linings Playbook," while Ang Lee pulled off a huge upset as best director for "Life of Pi."
Anne Hathaway went from propping up leaden sidekick James Franco at the Academy Awards to hefting a golden statue of her own with a supporting-actress Oscar win as a doomed mother-turned-prostitute in the musical "Les Miserables."
Christoph Waltz won his second supporting-actor Oscar for a Tarantino film, this time as a genteel bounty hunter in the slave-revenge saga "Django Unchained." Tarantino also won his second Oscar, for original screenplay for "Django."
Ang Lee pulled off a major upset, won best director for the shipwreck story "Life of Pi," taking the prize over Steven Spielberg, who had been favored for "Lincoln."
Lawrence took a fall on her way to the stage, tripping on the steps.
"You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell," Lawrence joked as the crowd gave her a standing ovation.
At 22, Lawrence is the second-youngest woman to win best actress, behind Marlee Matlin, who was 21 when she won for "Children of a Lesser God." Lawrence also is the third-youngest best-actress contender ever, earning her first nomination at age 20 two years ago for her breakout role in "Winter's Bone," the film that took her from virtual unknown to one of Hollywood's most-versatile and sought-after performers.
With a monumental performance as Abraham Lincoln, Day-Lewis became the only performer to win three best-actor Oscars, adding to the honors he earned for "My Left Foot" and "There Will Be Blood." He's just the sixth actor to earn three or more Oscars, tied with Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Ingrid Bergman and Walter Brennan with three each, and just behind Katharine Hepburn, who won four.
Hathaway, whose perkiness helped carry her and the listless Franco through an ill-starred stint as Oscar hosts two years ago, is the third performer in a musical to win supporting actress during the genre's resurgence in the last decade.
"It came true," said Hathaway, who joins 2002 supporting-actress winner Catherine Zeta-Jones for "Chicago" and 2006 recipient Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls." Hathaway had warm thanks for "Les Miz" co-star Hugh Jackman, with whom she once sang a duet at the Oscars when he was the show's host.
Hathaway's Oscar came for her role as noble but fallen Fantine in the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway smash that was based on Victor Hugo's epic novel of revolution, romance and redemption in 19th century France.
"Life of Pi" also won for Mychael Danna's multicultural musical score that blends Indian and Western instruments and influences, plus cinematography and visual effects.
"I really want to thank you for believing this story and sharing this incredible journey with me," Lee said to all who worked on the film, a surprise blockbuster about a youth trapped on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger.
A veteran performer in Germany and his native Austria, Waltz had been a virtual unknown in Hollywood when Tarantino cast him as a gleefully evil Nazi in 2009's "Inglourious Basterds," which won him his first Oscar.
"I have to cast the right people to make those characters come alive," said Tarantino, who won previously for "Pulp Fiction. "And boy, this time, did I do it. Thank you so much, guys."
Waltz has since done a handful of other Hollywood movies, but it's Tarantino who has given him his two choicest roles. Backstage, Waltz had a simple explanation for why the collaboration works.
"Quentin writes poetry, and I like poetry," Waltz said.
Oscar host Seth MacFarlane opened with a mildly edgy monologue that offered the usual polite jabs at the academy, the stars and the industry. He took a poke at academy voters over the snub of Ben Affleck, who missed out on a directing nomination for best-picture favorite "Argo," a thriller about the CIA's plot to rescue six Americans during the Iranian hostage crisis.
"The story was so top secret that the film's director is unknown to the academy," MacFarlane said. "They know they screwed up. Ben, it's not your fault."
"Argo" also claimed the Oscar for adapted screenplay for Chris Terrio, who worked with Affleck to create a liberally embellished story based on an article about the rescue and part of CIA operative Tony Mendez's memoir.
Terrio dedicated the award to Mendez, saying "33 years ago, Tony, using nothing but his creativity and his intelligence, Tony got six people out of a bad situation."
The foreign-language prize went to Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke's old-age love story "Amour," which had been a major surprise with five nominations, including picture, director and original screenplay for Haneke and best actress for Emmanuelle Riva, who turned 86 on Sunday and would be the oldest acting winner ever.
The top prize winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival, "Amour" follows the agonizing story of an elderly man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) tending his wife (Riva) as she declines from age and illness.
Haneke thanked his own wife for supporting him in his work for 30 years.
"You are the center of my life," Haneke said.
The Scottish adventure "Brave," from Disney's Pixar Animation unit, was named best animated feature. Pixar films have won seven of the 12 Oscars since the category was added.
"I just happen to be wearing the kilt," said "Brave" co-director Mark Andrews, who took the stage in his trademark Scottish garment.
The upbeat musical portrait "Searching for Sugar Man" took the documentary feature prize. The film follows the quest of two South African fans to discover the fate of acclaimed but obscure singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who dropped out of sight after two albums in the 1970s and was rumored to have died a bitter death.
"Thanks to one of the greatest singers ever, Rodriguez," said "Sugar Man" director Malik Bendjelloul.
There was a rare tie in one category, with the Osama bin Laden thriller "Zero Dark Thirty" and the James Bond tale "Skyfall" each winning for sound editing.
William Shatner made a guest appearance as his "Star Trek" character Capt. James Kirk, appearing on a giant screen above the stage during MacFarlane's monologue, saying he came back in time to stop the host from ruining the Oscars.
"Your jokes are tasteless and inappropriate, and everyone ends up hating you," said Shatner, who revealed a headline supposedly from the next day's newspaper that read, "Seth MacFarlane worst Oscar host ever."
The performance-heavy Oscars also included an opening number featuring Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum, who did a classy dance while MacFarlane crooned "The Way You Look Tonight." Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt then joined MacFarlane for an elegant musical rendition of "High Hopes."
Halle Berry introduced a tribute to the Bond franchise, in which she has co-starred, as the British super-spy celebrated his 50th anniversary on the big-screen last year with the latest adventure "Skyfall." Shirley Bassey sang her theme song to the 1960s Bond tale "Goldfinger." Later, pop star Adele performed her theme tune from "Skyfall," which won the best-song Oscar.
Barbra Streisand injected some musical sentiment into the show's segment memorializing Hollywood figures who died in the past year as she sang "The Way We Were," the Oscar-winning song she did in the film of the same name.
A salute to the resurgence of movie musicals in the last decade included Oscar winners Zeta-Jones singing "All That Jazz" from "Chicago" and Hudson doing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from "Dreamgirls." Hathaway and Jackman joined cast mates of best-picture contender "Les Miserables" to sing songs from their musical.
Academy officials said all performances were sung live.
Fans had pondered how far MacFarlane the impudent creator of "Family Guy," might push the normally prim and proper Oscars. MacFarlane was generally polite and respectful, showcasing his charm, wit and vocal gifts.
MacFarlane did press his luck a bit on an Abraham Lincoln joke, noting that Raymond Massey preceded "Lincoln" star Daniel Day-Lewis as an Oscar nominee for 1940's "Abe Lincoln in Illinois."
"I would argue that the actor who really got inside Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth," MacFarlane wisecracked, earning some groans from the crowd. "A hundred and 50 years later, and it's still too soon?"

In my coverage of Justin Timberlake's special day, you'll note I've not really made mention of his wife. And that's not a slight on the wife but more an observation about him: when is it ever NOT about Justin Timberlake?
Look at this cover.
Look at him taking up all the attention on this cover.
My wedding! My wedding! My wedding! ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!
Like he's crashing his OWN wedding. Like he needs to be the spotlight so badly he has to cockblock his own wedding photos...
As she's placed, BELOW him, with his foot at the same level of her head, like a family pet in a Christmas portrait. Oh, yeah, there's our dog, Rover in the corner, sitting submissively until she's told she can move. Like I said the other day, she's just happy to be invited. They're like Bella and Edward.
PEOPLE reportedly paid $300K for the privilege of publishing these pictures. If it's for sale it means we can talk about it. And I know that sounds like a lot of money to us, but for them? For him? It's nothing. I promise you it's nothing. So this wasn't about the money. This was all about the exposure. This was all about the sharing. This was all about wanting everyone to see -- check out the wedding I planned, check out the girl I married, check out how sick my suit is, that I helped Tom Ford design.
Um, yes. Pipsy claims he helped Tom Ford design his suit. Because Justin Timberlake knows as much as Tom Ford. About everything.
Her dress? It's ok. The thing about the pink though, especially with all the layers and the tiers, and the slight print that I can see on the material, is that, well, it's almost like any other long floral gown, like any summer gown. And maybe that's the point -- to get married in a dress that's not specifically a WEDDING DRESS and not specifically a BRIDE's GOWN. But that is certainly a bride's 'do, non? And Audrey Hepburn with the fringe. It's not the fashion/couture Try I was expecting.
But enough about her. That was an entire paragraph about her, when, quite obviously, it was His Day for the MiniVan Majority. And he chose to re-enact a scene from The Mickey Mouse Club. We've been talking a lot about branding lately -- is this on brand? It's PEOPLE, so it's not exactly high-end. And it's all pink, like the packaging of a children's toy -- My Little Pony -- which, I mean, it doesn't get more generic and pedestrian. Isn't this the cover you would have expected from...
Jennifer Love Hewitt?
Justin Timberlake is solidly A list. And what we're seeing here? What we're seeing here is solidly B.

Outdoor party for young chick who loves to show off on Mesquite
First name: Nilla, Age: 22 yo, City: Mesquite (TX)
Welcome men, I am Nilla and I just turned 22. I work in a trendy restaurant. I don't have any guys and I'm pretty naughty. Role-playing games are part of my dreams. I would like a partner who is imaginative in this regard to accompany me in my scenarios and who leads me into his or her own universe and dreams. I love naughty guys who are cute. I also demand a well-endowed man because otherwise I don't feel anything. I just want to fuck well. For this quickie, I'm available in the afternoon. I can set up a first meeting in a public place to talk things over. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback. I look forward to seeing you. I think we're going to have a lot of fun with this hookup. Great job! I give you a big hug.
Girl in a relationship looking for an affair
Christie Gas Monkey Nude
First name: Marie-morgane, Age: 29 yo, City: Spring Valley (NV)
I prefer a man who is passionate and most importantly has a very long penis in order to give me a lot of pleasure because I am quite greedy when it comes to sex. I know how to handle my fuck buddies to turn them on. I am available at the end of the week and rather in the evening. We can meet at my apartment. I really enjoy swingers' parties.

*The chart illustrates the NAV performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in the fund on 12/31/1999 or on commencement of operations (whichever is later). Figures include reinvestment of capital gains and dividends, but do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges or redemption fees, which would lower these figures. This chart is not intended to imply any future performance of the fund.
**The Overall Morningstar RatingTM for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics, which are based on risk-adjusted returns. The Morningstar Rating TM for funds, or "star rating," is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history. (Exchange-traded funds and open-end mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes.) It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a funds monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each fund category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.
The performance data shown represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Yield and return will vary, therefore you have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Click on the "Performance & Risk" link to view quarter-end performance. Average annual total returns are historical and include change in share value and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Cumulative total returns are reported as of the period indicated. Life of fund figures are reported as of the commencement date to the period indicated. Since ETFs are bought and sold at prices set by the market - which can result in a premium or discount to NAV- the returns calculated using market price (market return) can differ from those calculated using NAV (NAV return).
Top basket holdings are as of the date indicated and may not be representative of the funds current or future investments.

ST. PAUL — At least 11 people were killed in the past 10 days on Minnesota roads, according to preliminary traffic crash reports submitted to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety.
To-date for the year there have been 47 traffic deaths, down from 57 at this time last year.
Among those killed since Sunday, Feb. 24, was the first pedestrian death of the year and two 16 year olds. Seven of the 11 killed were ages 27 and younger.
First Pedestrian Death of 2013
The year's first pedestrian death was a 20-year-old male, who was stuck on Saturday, March 2, in Pine County. There were 39 pedestrian deaths in 2012 and 40 in 2011. DPS reports pedestrian deaths remain steady over the years, showing no trends of decline.
Officials remind motorists to drive attentively and to scan for pedestrians. Motorists must stop for those crossing at both marked and unmarked crosswalks. Pedestrians are reminded to make eye contact with drivers to show intent to cross, cross with caution, and continue to look for traffic during the cross — as distracted drivers are not likely looking for pedestrians.
Two Teens Killed, One Seriously Injured
In response to the two teen deaths and another seriously injured, DPS last week called on the support of Minnesota high schools to reinforce safe driving decisions. Traffic crashes are the leading killer of teens due to inexperience, risk-taking, distractions and poor seat belt compliance. DPS and the Minnesota Safety Council provided turn-key resources to help schools promote safe driving tips to students and parents.
"These very sad events serve as an important reminder for parents that teens are not experienced drivers and that it is critical to continue to train them so they grow safer behind the wheel," says Gordy Pehrson, DPS teen driving coordinator. "A teen with a license still needs to be monitored and trained, especially during their first 12 months of driving."

It was the swig heard 'round the world. Florida senator Marco Rubio, tasked with delivering the official Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address, found himself parched and distant from the necessary tool to quench that burning fire. In other words, he was thirsty. Usually in these situations, somebody takes care of actually getting some water within grasping distance of the speaker. Not so tonight, as Senator Rubio was forced to get it his own damn self. It's the only way to feel alive.

Pieces of the Moon and Mars have been found on Earth before, as well as chunks of Vesta and other asteroids — but what about the innermost planet, Mercury? That's where some researchers think this greenish meteorite may have originated, based on its curious composition and the most recent data from NASA's Messenger spacecraft.
NWA 7325 is the name for a meteorite fall that was spotted in southern Morocco in 2012, comprising 35 fragments totaling about 345 grams. The dark green stones were purchased by meteorite dealer Stefan Ralew, who operates the retail site SR Meteorites. Ralew immediately made note of the rocks' deep colors and lustrous, glassy exteriors.
Ralew sent samples of NWA 7325 to researcher Anthony Irving of the University of Washington, a specialist in meteorites of planetary origin. Irving found that the fragments contained surprisingly little iron but considerable amounts of magnesium, aluminum and calcium silicates — in line with what's been observed by Messenger in the surface crust of Mercury.
Even though the ratio of calcium silicates is higher than what's found on Mercury today, Irving speculates that the fragments of NWA 7325 could have come from a deeper part of Mercury's crust, excavated by a powerful impact event and launched into space, eventually finding their way to Earth.
In addition, exposure to solar radiation for an unknown period of time and shock from its formation could have altered the meteorite's composition somewhat, making it not exactly match up with measurements from Messenger. If this is indeed a piece of our solar system's innermost planet, it will be the first Mercury meteorite ever confirmed.
But the only way to know for sure, according to a research paper written by Irving and his colleagues, is to conduct further studies on the fragments and, ultimately, samples that are returned from Mercury.
Irving's team's findings on NWA 7325 will be presented at the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, to be held in Houston from March 18 to 22. Read more in this Sky & Telescope article by Kelly Beatty.

Note: If you just want to skip this Quickstart guide and go straight to a Solution, jump to:
Do you need Flatly?
This guide is designed to help anyone continuously export (i.e. "sync") data from Outreach.
If you only need to export your data one time, check the website of Outreach to see if their service offers a one-time export feature natively.
But, in some cases, the app's native export feature may not include all of the data sets you need, in which case Flatly is the solution.
What is Flatly?
Flatly is a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) that replicates business data as flat files (CSV, XLSX, or Sheets) in cloud storage. The service can be configured through a set of "jobs" or "job settings" which control the replication and syncing of data. Once a job is set to run, Flatly runs as an invisible background service.
3 Simple Steps
Step 1: Start a Free Trial
Step 2: Set up your Outreach Sync
Choose Outreach as your Data Source.
Use the dropdown menu to select Outreach. You can also just start typing Outreach to make this step faster.
Next, Flatly needs a place to send your data. Since Flatly does not have access to your desktop, you will need to use a cloud based service like Amazon S3.
If you do prefer to work from the desktop, try using a desktop app like OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive to sync your data from your cloud to your desktop.
For a full list of Destinations and corresponding file formats:
Authorize both your Data Source and Data Destination using the prompts in Flatly.
Select your Data Set -i.e. what data from Outreach you would like to sync to your Data Destination.
All Data Sets available are listed at:
Flatly will automatically assign a Filename based on your Data Set selection, but you can customize this by clicking on the Filename field. Press enter or click off of the field to save your Filename.
Skip the Advanced Settings for now, you can come back to them later.
Step 3: Run your Job
To start click Flatten Once.
If Flatly provides you with an icon of Amazon S3 at the bottom of the page, you can click it to jump to your Flatly-created folder in your cloud service.
Inspect your flat file. Note the Column Headings and the format of your data.
If you need to customize this data sync more, navigate back to Flatly and expand your job's Advanced Settings.
Quickstart Completed.
