This actor was nominated for an Emmy seven years in a row for the same role, but never won. His only Emmy was for a guest appearance on The X-Files. What is his name?
Peter Lawrence Boyle (October 18, 1935 - December 12, 2006) was an American actor, best known for his role as Frank Barone on the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, and as a comical monster in Mel Brooks' film spoof Young Frankenstein (1974).
Boyle, who won an Emmy Award in 1996 for a guest-starring role on the science-fiction drama The X-Files, won praise in both comedic and dramatic parts following his breakthrough performance in the 1970 film Joe.
Boyle was perhaps most widely known for his role as the deadpan, cranky Frank Barone in the CBS television sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, which aired from 1996 to 2005. The show was shot in Los Angeles, to which Boyle commuted from his New York City home. He was nominated for an Emmy seven times for this role, but never won (beaten out multiple times in the Supporting Actor category by his co-star Brad Garrett), though fellow co-stars Garrett, Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, and Boyle's TV wife Doris Roberts won at least one Emmy each for their performances.

I offer the off-kilter guess of Roger Capybara.
I think todays question is rather difficult.
As you all know the untimely passing of Terry was unexpected, even by
him. We all knew he had cancer but we all thought he had some years
left. So some of us who have worked closely with him over the years are
scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. My job, among other
things, is to establish communications with the Bartcop community and
provide email lists and groups for those who might put something
together. Those who want to play an active roll in something coming from
this, or if you are one of Bart's pillars, should send an email to
active@bartcop.com.
Bart's final wish was to pay off the house mortgage for Mrs. Bart who is
overwhelmed and so very grateful for the support she has received.
Anyone wanting to make a donation can click on this the yellow donate

But - I need you all to help keep this going. This note
isn't going to directly reach all of Bart's fans. So if you can repost
it on blogs and discussion boards so people can sign up then when we
figure out what's next we can let more people know. This list is just
over 600 but like to get it up to at least 10,000 pretty quick. So

The U.S. Navy has honored America's first woman in space, christening its newest research ship after the late astronaut Sally Ride.
Tam O'Shaughnessy, Ride's life partner and successor as chief executive officer at the science education company Sally Ride Science, broke the traditional champagne bottle across the bow of the R/V Sally Ride during the naming ceremony held at the Dakota Creek Industries shipyard in Anacortes, Washington on Saturday (Aug. 9).
"For the United States of America, I christen thee 'Sally Ride,'" O'Shaughnessy stated just before striking the bow. "May God bless this ship and all who sail in her."
Joining O'Shaughnessy at the event were Bear Ride, the astronaut's sister, and Kathryn Sullivan, the first American woman to conduct a spacewalk, who today serves as the undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) administrator.
The Navy's 28th auxiliary general oceanographic research ship, or AGOR-28, the R/V Sally Ride will be operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California in San Diego under a charter-party agreement with the Navy's Office of Naval Research. The astronaut served as a professor and scientist at the institute.

Carol Burnett is being honored by a Pennsylvania museum dedicated to actor Jimmy Stewart.
The Indiana Gazette reports the actress and comedian will receive the museum's Harvey Award at an Oct. 3 fundraiser for the James M. Steward Museum Foundation.
The foundation and museum are based in Stewart's Pennsylvania hometown: Indiana, about 45 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Burnett has called Stewart her "idol." He appeared on the final episode of "The Carol Burnett Show" as a surprise guest, ending its 11-year run in 1978. He died in 1997.
The chatty, social-media-savvy robot that's been thumbing rides with Canadians over the past three weeks is nearing the end of its Halifax-to-Victoria hitchhiking adventure.
Its creators say the last time it checked in early Wednesday morning Hitchbot was passing through Kelowna, B.C., on its way to the Open Space art centre on Vancouver Island.
Since its more than 6,000-kilometre journey began in Nova Scotia on July 26, the Wellie-wearing robot has been camping in New Brunswick's Kouchibouguac National Park, attended a First Nations powwow on Manitoulin Island in Ontario and even crashed a wedding in Golden, B.C.
Hitchbot is an interdisciplinary research project conceived by a team of Ontario-based communications researchers studying the evolving relationship between people and technology.

U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy on Wednesday called on the Federal Communications Commission to host hearings on its new proposed "net neutrality" rules outside of Washington, not just at its offices in the U.S. capital.
The FCC is working to write new so-called "net neutrality" rules that regulate how Internet service providers (ISPs) manage traffic on their networks. In January, a federal court struck down the agency's previous version.
More than 1 million comments have poured into the FCC on the issue, many most of them opposing the rules tentatively proposed by the FCC. The proposed rules, while prohibiting ISPs from blocking any content, suggest allowing some "commercially reasonable" deals where content providers could pay ISPs to ensure smooth and fast delivery of their traffic.
The FCC is now planning six roundtable discussions in September and October at its offices in Washington, where the public can meet with FCC staff to talk about the proposed rules and how they may be changed.
The FCC is collecting public comments on the proposed net neutrality rules until Sept. 10. The agency has scheduled roundtables on various aspects of the rules on Sept. 16, Sept. 19, Oct. 2 and Oct. 7 in Washington.
A 98-year-old retired New Jersey math teacher implicated in a Cold War atomic espionage case has asked a U.S. judge to throw out her 1950 conviction and fix a McCarthy-era "miscarriage of justice" of which she is the last surviving victim.
Miriam Moskowitz had been a secretary when she and former boss Abraham Brothman, a chemical engineer with whom she had an affair, were convicted in Manhattan for conspiring to obstruct justice by having lied to a grand jury investigating espionage.
Moskowitz served two years in prison following a trial that the lawyer Roy Cohn, who later worked for Senator Joseph McCarthy, the leading face of post-war U.S. anti-Communism, called a "dry run" for the government case against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
But Moskowitz said recently unsealed records show a chemist named Harry Gold lied when he testified at her trial that she was present when he and Brothman got their stories straight before speaking with the grand jury.
She said Gold had repeatedly told the FBI otherwise, but the defense hadn't been told this.
Albums and their covers are part of the eclectic collection of photos, records, and knick-knacks collected by the late Paul MacLeod, an Elvis-obsessed man who turned his antebellum home into the offbeat museum called Graceland Too, Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2014 in Holly Springs, Miss. His memorial takes place the week that fans commemorate the anniversary of Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977 at his Graceland mansion in Memphis.

Edward Snowden says dishonest comments to Congress by the US intelligence chief were the final straw that prompted him to flee the country and reveal a trove of national security documents.
In an interview with Wired magazine in Moscow, where he sought asylum after the revelations, Snowden said he had long been troubled by the activities of the National Security Agency (NSA), which employed him as a contractor.
But it was only when Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told lawmakers that the agency does "not wittingly" collect data on millions of American citizens that he was angry enough to act.
The magazine released the article online Wednesday, along with several new photographs of the once-elusive Snowden, including a cover shot of the technician lovingly cradling an American flag.
Journalist James Bamford -- who conducted the interviews under tight security -- wrote that Snowden appeared "relaxed and upbeat."
The post-production crew of "Survivor" has halted work on the hit reality TV series because of a labor dispute.
The Motion Picture Editors Guild said Wednesday that about two dozen Santa Monica-based post-production workers "voted themselves off the job" at Mark Burnett's Island Post Productions Inc., saying no editorial work would resume on the series until the company agrees to a union contract.
At the time of the work stoppage, post-production work was underway on the 90-minute premiere of Season 29 of the long-running CBS series, which has been scheduled to air on Sept. 24, the union said. The series has been filming in Nicaragua.
The action comes a day after the post-production workers notified their employer of their intent to obtain a union contract with health and retirement benefits. The workers are responsible for distilling approximately 250 hours of raw video down to one hour of entertainment.

A group of human rights organizations said Tuesday they are organizing a flotilla of vessels that will attempt to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza later this year.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition said it plans to sail to Gaza "during 2014." It did not specify how many vessels would participate, but said the flotilla was "a reflection of the growing worldwide solidarity with the Palestinian people; from the U.S. to Malaysia, from Scandinavia to South Africa."
The group said the boats would also be carrying "Palestinian commercial products purchased by buyers worldwide to complete the work of Gaza's Ark," a cargo boat built by the FFC and Palestinians that the group said was bombed on July 11.
The group organized two previous flotillas, in 2010 and in 2011. During the first, Israeli forces stormed the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara, killing nine people on board. The incident led to a breakdown in Turkish-Israeli relations.
The former live-in caretaker of a Pittsburgh-area mansion has died, ending criminal charges that he drank more than $102,000 worth of old whiskey that he was supposed to be guarding.
A district judge last year ordered 63-year-old John Saunders, of Irwin, to stand trial after hearing testimony from the owner of the South Broadway Manor Bed and Breakfast.
But the Tribune-Review reports Saunders died July 21, ending the case.
The mansion's owner had claimed she found nine 12-bottle cases of whiskey hidden in the century-old mansion built by industrialist J.P. Brennan after she bought it in 2012.
The whiskey was produced in the early 1900s and was appraised at more than $2,000 a bottle. Saunders was charged after the owner discovered 52 empty bottles on which police found DNA from Saunders' saliva.

Rio Tinto has unveiled a record four extremely rare "red" diamonds in an exclusive annual sale, with the miner saying there was growing interest in the jewels as collectibles and alternative investments.
The diamond tender, with stones sourced from Rio's Argyle mine in Western Australia, will be comprised of 55 diamonds, including 51 pink and purplish reds and four fancy reds.
The "hero" jewel at the centre of the sale -- in its 30th year -- is the Argyle Cardinal, a 1.21 carat radiant cut fancy red named after a small, northern American bird.
The jewels routinely fetch US$1-2 million a carat. As a basic rule of thumb, pink and red diamonds are worth about 50 times more than white diamonds.
In the three-decade history of the yearly sale, only 13 fancy reds have been put on tender and there are fewer than 30 graded by the Gemological Institute of America in the world, Josephine Johnson, manager of Rio's Argyle Pink Diamonds division, told AFP.
Emigdio Vasquez, whose bold use of color, exacting brush skills and uncanny ability to capture everyday people in dramatic moments made him one of the most influential pioneers of the Chicano art movement, has died at 75 in California.
The artist's family says Vasquez died Saturday in an assisted living home in Newport Beach. The cause was pneumonia.
Vasquez was one of several California artists to rise to prominence with the emergence of the Chicano art movement in the 1960s.
Incredibly prodigious, he created more than 400 paintings and nearly two dozen murals. Many of the latter dot buildings throughout Orange County, where Vasquez lived most of his life.
Arguably his most famous mural, "Legacy of Cesar Chavez," graces the lobby of a building at Santa Ana College.
