The news made a big deal Friday over our forecasted storm, but it turned out
to be not so much. We did get some rain and even a little bit of snow Sunday
morning. About five minutes worth actually, since I was looking out the
window when it started and then stopped. Another 500 feet of elevation and
it would have been something. But it is cold for here, at 9:30 it's still
only 40F, and it was just a bit over 20F at my house when we left for work.
Saturday I debated with myself over more leaf raking, since it was so cold I
was worried about removing protection for the plants, but went ahead anyway.
It has to be done before the daffodils all start blooming or I won't be able
to get in there at all. I filled up our dumpster again but I finished off
the leaves, whew. I also hacked on a couple of the rosemarys that are trying
to take over, and started the vegetable garden cleanup.
I've done my bay tree major damage. I must have forgotten to water it last
week, or maybe even longer than that. When I went inside the greenhouse
almost every leaf was crispy! I soaked the plant and cut off quite a lot of
it - it needed trimming pretty bad anyway - I hope it will attempt to leaf
out again. I can't believe I didn't water but nonetheless it happened, it
was dry as anything. Sigh.
Monday was a holiday for us and I hadn't decided what to do from my chores
list. Just as well. I went hiking with a friend and my dogs knocked me over
on a steep hill. I have a very pretty set of bruises (fortunately mostly
hidden from public view), a wrenched shoulder, and various other small pains
making themselves known today, but it's not awful. I forgave the dogs. After
I hit the ground they rushed to my side and were very apologetic. Even the
lab stuck to me tho I'd dropped his leash. So we finished the hike, only 6
miles, but I sure didn't feel like doing anything else when I got home.

Deadly custody: Violent crime plummets in California, but prison deaths doubleOctober 4th, 2016, 3:43 pm by By TERI SFORZA
Violent crime reached a high in California in 1992, when 338 people died in police and prison custody by means mostly natural but sometimes grisly – drug overdoses, strangulation, knife attacks, beatings.
Only seven of those died from firearms, according to statistics from the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
By 2015, violent crime in the Golden State had plunged by nearly half. But the number of deaths in official custody had nearly doubled, hitting a record high ...Read the rest of this entry »

The Dallas Cowboys last went to the playoffs in 2009. That 2009 season wasn't the last time we've seen a steady run of peak by quarterback Tony Romo. No, it was the last time Dallas has fielded an above-average defense. That 2009 defense finished second in the NFL in points per game allowed (15.6), seventh in weighted defensive efficiency and was fourth overall against the run.
If the 2013 Cowboys are going to return to the playoffs, it won't just be because Romo reaches a new peak, it will be because the defense finally comes back to a form worthy of a playoff team. The good news is they have the talent do so. The bad news is they face three critical questions in their attempt to make that happen.
In this Insider story, ESPN's Chris Sprow explains why defense, not Tony Romo, will define Dallas this season.

After over 6 years of bootstrapping, it was time. I'm so overjoyed to know our brilliant wonderful first investors! The focus of this raise is to set up for major growth and this year we were able to bring on our first two directors, our first full time graphic designer, our first PR lead, test two retail markets, set-up Canadian production for our Canadian market, and develop and test small runs of ethical gowns, sweaters, and swimwear. We doubled in sales this fall-winter from the previous year all while the industry's outerwear sales were down due to a mild winter.
We are preparing now to raise our Series A to focus on textile innovation to one day replace all animal textiles. Does that sound crazy? Good. Let's do this.
The animals can't wait for us to grow bootstrapped, when the big corporations have so many resources. We are here to create the next level of fashion, one that is sustainable for the world and can be scaled ethically. I've done all I can leading and financing this by myself, it's time now to bring together the smartest minds and biggest hearts around the world to pool our resources and ideas to create and lead this new world of fashion.
we have the chance right now to bring in a round of angel investors at a lower investment level than will be accepted in Series A. These investors will get a 20% discount on the Series A, as a reward for coming in early at this stage.

This review is from: Rosewill CHALLENGER - Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Three Included Fans - 1 x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1 x Top 140mm Fan, 1 x Rear 120mm Fan - Two More Optional Side 120mm Fans Supported
Pros: Black inside finish
3 fans
Bottom mounted PSU (sold separately)
No crazy plastic pieces to get broken in shipping
Lots of room for routing cables behind the motherboard tray
Cons: Thumbscrews for the side panels aren't metal
Other Thoughts: Loved this case - best one I have worked on yet. Coolest thing? A little screwdriver adapter that helps screw in the motherboard mounts so you don't need a nut driver. I did have to modify the plastic 2.5 bay adapter - I cut a notch out of it for the power wires of my SSD.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: APEX MI-110 Black / Silver Steel Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 250W Power Supply
Pros: cute and tiny - wife loves it!
Cons: Screws stripped too easily
Not enough screws were supplied.
have some zip ties on hand
Other Thoughts: I bought this for my first mini-itx build. Yes, the power supply is barely touching the housing for the CPU fan, but all is okay that I can see. Also, do NOT get any ram with heat sinks. I had to buy another plain 8 gig and put the 8 gig that I got for this build into my rig, so a win/win. But the heat sinks just wont fit under the hard drive.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Works - and works well.
Cons: Software is stupid.
Other Thoughts: Bought this for my wife's homework machine, and I didn't feel like running a network cable upstairs. Once the software was installed it worked, but sporadically, and whatever window you would be working on would lose focus constantly. I decided to uninstall the configuration tools UI (but left the drivers installed) and haven't had any problems since. I think the configuration tools and the built in windows tools were conflicting with each other.READ FULL REVIEW

[WEEKEND RECAP] Burns vs Crawford, Salido vs Lomachenko, Chavez Jr vs Vera, Budler vs Diaz, Saengthep vs Kogawa + more (self.Boxing)
submitted 2 years ago by noirargent
From The Conference & Event Center, Niagra Falls, New York
This isn't the Brady you're thinking of.
From Horseshoe Casino, Hammond, Indiana
For a guy with 15 pro fights, Agbeko has in terrible condition for this fight. He looked gassed early on and it wasn't tough for Gatica to find the mark and tag him often. The end came in the 4th round. Gatica had Agbeko in the corner and unloaded everything in the kitchen sink. Agbeko hardly had the strength to keep his hands up and the referee stepped in to stop the action.
The 2nd round began with both fighters coming to the center, Kopylenko shot a heavy jab to the chin on Fort and down went Fort. Fort got up and tried to engage but was countered with power shots with every opening he created and the referee called off the bout when Fort rose to his feet was clearly on spaghetti legs (not al dente, either.)
It looked to me like Edouard would be able to outbox Adams with his long reach. A short counter left hook from Adams
was the beginning of the end in the 4th. Adams dropped Edouard with the left and continued to find it and mix his punches up to stop Edouard.
From Turning Stone Resort & Casino, Verona, New York
It appeared that Derek Edwards saw on gaping hole in Badou Jack's game and decided that that was the one and only play he had. If he had hoped to win, he'd have to use that hail mary every chance he got. A lazy Badou Jack and Edwards would counter with a thunderous overhand right directly on the chin. You can tell from the opening bell that he was looking for it. It connected flush with the force that just about every super middleweight out there would have buckled from. Yet another Mayweather Promotions fight gets upset.
Imagine you're Floyd Mayweather sitting in the crowd watching the guys you promote and you might have the upcoming interview with Showtime to promote your next fight. One guy gets sick and another gets bumped up on the card. He's an experienced young fighter with solid amateur experience and heavy hands. My take on Pearson is that he throws more of a "stay back" jab that doesn't have a ton of power behind it and when he faces guys like Tyner who's gameplan is to take away the outside game and keep the fight inside, he will struggle. Guys who come forward and want to fight ear to ear need to have their heads jabbed off to convince them that coming inside is too dangerous.
From GETEC Arena, Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany
Abraham rallied and did enough work to upset the reigning WBO super middleweight champion. It may as well be the European championship though because the real title belongs to Andre Ward. Anyway, Abraham looks reborn at age 34 if you catch my drift.
From World Trade Center, Naucalpan, Mexico
Pablo Cesar Cano is one of the toughest guys out there and I love to watch this kid fight. He's got a heart as big as the HBO truck, but his skin is rice paper thin. Despite his tremendous heart and talent, it may not be wise for Cano to continue boxing. Check out these pictures. This is consistently happening to the kid. Look at the referee's face when he looks at Cano and stops it.
From Scottish Exhibition Centre, Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Crawford went into hostile territory and boxed a beautiful 12 rounds to decisively win the lightweight title. Unless Burns is completely done, and I don't think he is, Crawford put on a master performance which elevated the American to the top spot in the lightweight division. Burns definitely had a ton of excuses already pre-built into the fight, but after the fight he was all praises for Crawford.
Simpson hit the deck 3 times in the 2nd round before the referee waved off the contest. Simpson was coming off a tough KO against Derry Mathews.
A quick win for the big guy.
From City Academy Sports Centre, Bristol, Avon, UK
A good win for DeGale who continues to build himself into super middleweight contention.
From Emperors Palace, Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa
An easy win for Budler and a unification fight with number one rated Katsunari Takayama seems imminent.
From Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas
Chavez Jr looked like the guy who almost upset the middleweight champion of the world. In fact, he looked a little better. He definitely has the same old Chavez Jr weight advantage that we've seen in the past, but his timing improved. He was able to tag Vera with the same punches over and over and decisively win the fight this time. The saving grace for Vera is that he appeared to hurt his hand very early in the fight and it was obvious. He stopped sitting on his punches around the 4th round and that's about the time Chavez Jr really began to assert himself in the fight. Aside from the final round, which was a joke, Chavez Jr looked impressive and ready to start fighting other contenders in… I guess the super middleweight division if that's where he's going to stay.
I can't remember a prospect that turned pro with more hype than Lomachenko. I can't remember a debut that was as electrifiying as Lomachenko's was. I was excited. I thought history could be made if he was matched up correctly, given he hasn't had much experience against the more rugged pro styles. Then the Bradley-Marquez card comes along. Salido battered Orlando Cruz and there were rumblings that Lomachenko would go after Salido in his second career fight. I groaned. What a mistake! I thought, we've all fallen in love with the idea and the potential upside of this Ukrainian winning machine. We've become blind to reality. On Saturday, reality hit hard. Reality does not play by any rules other than the ones it sets. Reality came in the form of low blows, hits during the clinch with the free arm, and a weight it felt comfortable at rather than the weight that was agreed upon.
Lomachenko learned a valuable lesson. One could make the argument that he learned mid fight and didn't adjust in time. The very thing that made people hesitant to crown Lomachenko as the heir to the featherweight throne, inexperience, would be that which would lead to his defeat. Lomachenko can find solace in the fact that he was the better man that night, and perhaps if he was the man a year from now after a couple of learning fights, he would have possibly stopped Salido with all his advantages.
The reality of the night was that Salido took away what made Lomachenko great. He instilled fear in Lomachenko. Fear of the headbutt. Lomachenko became hesitant to throw body shots and work on the inside. He had nothing to do other than clinch. Salido didn't win the outside game, but his inside work was what won him the fight. I felt Lomachenko did enough to have an argument for the fight, and his tremendous heart at the end of the fight where he turned up intensity and let it all hang out certainly closed the gap. To quote Mark Twain in a half-assed way that I'm sure he would approve of, the report of Lomachenko's loss have been greatly exaggerated. He showed everything I needed to see to be optimistic about his future. (For the record, I was never sold on Lomachenko and I thought Salido was beat him.)
Diaz didn't look in shape, and frankly his performance was underwhelming. Still, he did enough to beat an overmatched opponent.
Valdez came out and did what he does best. He took his time and broke Sanchez down. Sanchez was game, but his defense made Valdez look like a surgeon. Valdez began to land heavy shots that were wobbling Sanchez every time they landed. The stoppage was a bit controversial as the referee stepped in after a left wobbled Sanchez and called it off.
Zepeda is a little irresponsible on defense. I feel a quick fighter can catch him, but he's thus far compensated with terrific footwork and a good amount of power. Zepeda scored the easy stoppage over Edwards.
Venegas was brought in to test Saucedo. He certainly did. Saucedo looked like a guy who was in a fight. He paid for his recklessness and while he won easy on the cards, it wasn't an easy fight. Saucedo is still very green and needs more seasoning.

The staff of the SEC's Division of Investment Management (the "Staff") provided additional guidance (the "Guidance") on the scope of the "knowledgeable employee" category of investors who may be disregarded in determining whether or not a pooled investment vehicle (a "Private Fund") may rely on the exclusion from the definition of investment company by Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Rule 3c-5 under the 1940 Act permits a knowledgeable employee of a Private Fund, or a knowledgeable employee of an affiliated person that manages the investment activities of a Private Fund (an "Investment Manager"), to invest in the Private Fund without (a) being counted for purposes of the 100-person limit if the Private Fund intends to rely on Section 3(c)(1) or (b) being a "qualified purchaser" if the Fund intends to rely on Section 3(c)(7). The Staff had previously provided guidance in this area in American Bar Association, SEC No-Action Letter (pub. avail. Apr. 22, 1999) (the "ABA Private Funds Letter") and PPM America Special Investments CBO II, L.P., SEC No-Action Letter (pub. avail. Apr. 16, 1998) (the "PPM America Letter").
Principal Business Unit Status
In part, the Guidance addresses the category of knowledgeable employee consisting of any "Executive Officer, director, trustee, general partner, advisory board member, or person serving in a similar capacity" of a Private Fund or its Investment Manager. "Executive Officer" means the "president, any vice president in charge of a principal business unit, division or function (such as sales, administration or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions" for a Private Fund or an Investment Manager. The Guidance provides confirmation of the following general interpretive principles relating to this category:
The Guidance goes on to state that under the following circumstances, an Investment Manager's information technology ("IT") department or its investor relations department could be a principal business unit under Rule 3c-5 such that the individual in charge of the unit could be a knowledgeable employee:
IT Department
Investor Relations
Investor relations personnel "conduct substantive portfolio reviews with investors and . . . respond to substantive due-diligence inquiries from institutional investors and consultants." Principal business unit status would not, however, apply if the investor relations department "merely assisted in arranging meetings between an investment manager's investment staff and prospective investors, disseminated investor communications written by senior executives outside of the investor-relations department, or performed other relatively administrative tasks."
Executive Officer Status
The Guidance confirms that an individual can be an "Executive Officer" for purposes of Rule 3c-5 without having a senior officer title, provided the individual "makes policy through day-to-day involvement in the development and adoption of an investment manager's policies." The Guidance also provides that an individual may be an Executive Officer on the basis of participation in collective policy-making activity by serving as "an active member of a group or committee that develops and adopts an investment manager's policies, such as the valuation committee." The Guidance cautions, however, that "individuals who merely observe committee proceedings or merely provide information or analysis to the decision-makers of a committee or group would [not] be engaged in making policy and, therefore, such individuals generally would not be executive officers under the rule."
Participation in Investment Activities
The Guidance also addresses a second category of knowledgeable employee defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4)(ii). This category consists of each employee of a Private Fund or its Investment Manager who, in connection with that person's regular function or duties, participates in the investment activities of the Private Fund, other Private Funds, or investment companies whose investment activities are managed by the Investment Manager, provided that the employee has been performing those functions and duties for or on behalf of the Private Fund or the Investment Manager, or substantially similar functions or duties for or on behalf of another company for at least 12 months (a "Participating Employee").
The Guidance revises the Staff's views expressed in the ABA Private Funds Letter regarding the possible knowledgeable employee status of (a) certain research analysts and (b) personnel not directly charged with investment management responsibilities.
Research Analysts. The Guidance provides that a research analyst "who researches only a portion of the portfolio of a [Private] Fund and provides analysis or advice to the portfolio manager with respect to such portion of the [Private] Fund's portfolio is participating in the investment activities of the [Private] Fund for purposes of the rule," and "could be a knowledgeable employee under rule 3c-5(a)(4)(ii)." The ABA Private Funds Letter stated that "some research analysts (e.g., a research analyst who researches all potential portfolio investments and provides recommendations to the portfolio manager)" could be knowledgeable employees.
Non-Portfolio Management Employees. The Guidance provides that Investment Manager employees performing the following functions could be considered Participating Employees, provided they regularly perform such functions or duties and have been doing so for at least 12 months:
Knowledgeable Employee Status from Managing Separate Accounts. The Guidance provides that an employee of an Investment Manager may qualify as a knowledgeable employee under Rule 3(c)-5(a)(4)(ii) on the basis of participation in "the investment activities of separate accounts (or a portfolio (or portion thereof) of a separate account) for clients that are 'qualified clients' [as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940] and are otherwise eligible to invest in the private funds advised by the [Investment Manager] and whose accounts pursue investment objectives and strategies that are substantially similar to those pursued by one or more of those private funds." The Staff had previously provided guidance in the PPM America Letter that an employee of an Investment Manager could also be a knowledgeable employee on the basis of participating in the investment activities of a pooled investment vehicle that is excluded from the definition of investment company by Section 3(c)(2), 3(c)(3), or 3(c)(11) of the 1940 Act.
Employees of Filing and Relying Advisers
The Guidance provides that if a filing adviser and its relying adviser(s) (as defined below) collectively conduct a single advisory business and otherwise meet the conditions of American Bar Association, Business Law Section, SEC No-Action Letter (pub. avail. Jan. 18, 2012) (the "ABA Form ADV Letter"), then a knowledgeable employee of the filing adviser or any of its relying advisers that otherwise meets the applicable conditions may be treated as a knowledgeable employee with respect to any Private Fund managed by the filing adviser or any relying adviser. As discussed in the January 24, 2012 Financial Services Alert, the ABA Form ADV Letter permits an adviser (the "filing adviser") to file a single Form ADV for itself and each other adviser that it controls or is under common control with (each such other adviser being a "relying adviser") when, among other things, the filing and relying advisers (1) individually are eligible for federal investment adviser registration and (2) collectively conduct a single advisory business.
Knowledgeable Employee Determinations – Recordkeeping
The Guidance instructs investment managers to "maintain in their books and records a written record of employees the investment manager has permitted to invest in a [Private] Fund as knowledgeable employees and should be able to explain the basis in the rule pursuant to which the employee qualifies as a knowledgeable employee."
Managed Funds Association, SEC No-Action Letter (pub. avail. Feb. 6, 2014).

This appears to be a null mProfileLock, which basically means that http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/annotate/f02c5fb11741/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp#l3430 succeeded but didn't return a profile lock.
Does this have a nightly regression range?
(In reply to bhavana bajaj [:bajaj] from comment #1)
> Do we have any co-relations and do we see this on other any other channels ?
Crashes happen before any loaded extensions, on Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS and JB.
Two Mac users were affected in 15.0.1.
(In reply to Benjamin Smedberg [:bsmedberg] from comment #2)
> Does this have a nightly regression range?
No, because only Beta users and one Aurora user are affected.
Tracking for now and assigning to Benjamin - is it possible to hunt down a regression in Beta? If you're not the right person for this please reassign to another person but if we're going to track for 17 it needs to be assigned to someone.
I do not have time to look at this bug. I suspect it's something with the locked profile dialog which can't be shown on Android, but I'd like somebody from the mobile team to take it if necessary.
Alright - over to Brad then for a mobile team assessment of who can take this on.
Wes - Does this seem similar to the other bug you fixed related to locked profiles?
Yes. I have a fix. testing it now

User impact if declined: Crashes on startup. Subsequent starts should work
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): Landed on mc today
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): Medium because it gets hit during startup. This should be doing the same thing we would do in other cases where we unlock the profile for the user (i.e. a few lines above this patch).

text: I am throroughly considering starting a SW tank to resue "nemo" from a LFS. He has some fin damage, not bad, but it would need to be treated with some sort of fin rot medication im assuming. I have heard mixed reviews about tank size for them, as they only get 4-5"... and I am only planning on keeping one and possibly some cleaner shrimp to cut down on cleaning every day, lol. I was thinking about no live rock or anemone... as I will be new to this, and I have heard you should wait a year anyways. I was just thinking plain decorations and hiding places for the clown. Ive heard reviews that they only need 10 gallons to people saying they need 30 gallons per fish... for a 4-5" fish? I was wondering if 20 gallons would be okay for him? As well, anyone else want to divulge any info for me? Ive never done SW, and Im hoping it wont be rediculously expensive, as I allready have the tank. What kidn of filter should I use? Would a fluval u2 work? any special things I should know about SW? I know about premaking water etc.... but anything else? It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! (p.s, Im not just rescuing him cause hes a clownfish named nemo, im resuing him because I have the time and dedication to take care of him) pp.s Im going to grab some filter media from the LFS to jump start the cycle in this tank this time

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who returns to television Thursday night for the spinoff "Snooki and JWoww" on MTV, has always been opinionated.
Especially when it comes to sports.
Snooki, who hit it big as a star on "Jersey Shore," is a huge New York Mets fan and doesn't shy away from telling everyone.
"Growing up in New York, my grandfather was a huge fan and my mom is a die-hard Mets fan also," said Snooki, who was born in Chile and adopted by Italian American parents. "If I ever left the Mets to go to the other team in town, my family would disown me."
Well, Snooki's fiance and father of her baby, Jionni LaValle, is a huge Yankees fan.
"Yeah, because he's a weirdo," Snooki said.
"She's the weirdo," LaValle countered. "We've had a lot of good arguments about this. She makes fun of me and I make fun of her."
And which team will the baby be rooting for? No decision yet.
"Mets fans are awesome. We have heart. Even if we suck, we still love them," Snooki said.
"I think we're going to get him an A-Rod jersey," LaValle said.
But first Snooki is focusing on her new show, which is about her and "Jersey Shore" friend JWoww moving in together. Everyone says it's like the sitcom "Laverne & Shirley."
"I definitely want to show everyone that it's not all about partying and that I'm a normal person," Snooki said. "It will just show our day-to-day lives. We're just going to be normal."
Well, Snooki's version of normal.

EAB Discovered in Nebraska
The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) has confirmed that emerald ash borer (EAB) was discovered during a site inspection in Omaha's Pulaski Park on June 6, 2016. Nebraska becomes the 27th state to confirm the presence of EAB, joining neighboring states of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. The current treatment consideration zone extends from Fort Calhoun to Plattsmouth and from Gretna to east of Council Bluffs (see map, right column). The yearly window of time that is recommended for treating an ash tree is closing. If a tree is treated any time after mid-June the chemical will not distribute throughout the tree as much as it would have earlier in the spring so it would be best to wait until next year.
NDA has issued a quarantine prohibiting ash nursery stock from leaving the quarantine area. The quarantine also regulates the movement of hardwood firewood and mulch, ash timber products and green waste material out of Douglas, Sarpy, Cass, Washington and Dodge counties to assist in the prevention of human-assisted spread of the pest into un-infested areas. Click here to read more about the discovery.

Today after packing the bags, (a few kilos heavier) we headed for the Brooklyn bridge, with the heat blazing down, we climbed and walked over the Brooklyn bridge, you get a good view looking back at the finance district and up the harbour towards staton island one way and the Manhattan bridge the other. We decided that as we had not yet had a New York pizza, we had better participate in this custom, so when in Rome add a Budweiser as well. After some last ...

... and decided on my next move. I went to Central Park South and began my own art deco tour taking in the Ritz-Carlton hotel, Oak hotel, Plaza Hotel, to the Public Library on 5th Av and 42nd St, where I remember a funny scene from Ghostbusters when an old lady ghost was reading a book in one of the rooms here and when disturbed she gestured at a ghostbuster to SHOOSH!

A film review by David N. Butterworth
Copyright 2004 David N. Butterworth
**1/2 (out of ****)
Unlike the first two Harry Potter films, 2004's "Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban" (hereafter referred to as HP3 to save my failing
fingertips) doesn't open at Thanksgiving (it's the start of the summer
season and here's Harry already!) and isn't directed by Chris Columbus
(this time around Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón takes over the directing
reins). But it still looks and feels very much like a Harry Potter movie no
matter how you slice it, and that's good news for the rabid and
multitudinous fans of J.K. Rowling's series of children's books (later to be
dramatized with alarming alacrity) about a now 13-year-old orphan
who just so happens to be a wizard.
That has as much to do with the Harry Potter phenomenon as it does
the product on the table, of course--HP3 is neither worse nor better than
its predecessors--and it carries with it the same criticisms that befall any
attempt at literary adaptation, i.e., the stuff they left out, the stuff they
put in, and just how the filmmakers' interpretation matches our own humble
Having myself struggled with Rowling's lack of sophistication, patently
obvious and "chiefly Brit." humor, and surprisingly sub-juvenile POV, I will
admit that she sure knows how to set up a story, populate it with living,
breathing personalities, and tell her tale with an uncommon yet assured
simplicity. Case in point: Sirius Black, a central figure in HP3, is actually
introduced (or at the very least mentioned) on page 16 of "Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer's Stone"! Now that's forward thinking...
The gang's all here in HP3 of course: Harry, Ron, Hermione, the
Dursleys, Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy,
all wistfully realized by the very same actors as before (with the exception
of Albus Dumbledore--Michael Gambon steps in for the late Richard
Harris without missing a beat). And there are some typically decent
additions: Emma Thompson as Professor Sybil Trelawney, David Thewlis
(remember him from Mike Leigh's "Naked"?) as black arts master
Professor Lupin, Timothy Spall (another Mike Leigh favorite) as the ratty
Peter Pettigrew, and yes that's Gary Oldman as the eponymous prisoner
himself, with a chamber full of secrets--and a very animated wanted
poster--all his own.
"The Prisoner of Azkaban" is the one, lest you've forgotten, that features
Harry, in his third year at Hogwarts, attaining greater insight into the
betrayal and tragic death of his parents while being pursued by an
escaped murderer (Black) and ghoulish, life-sucking Dementors (whose
first appearance, parents of little ones take note, should have garnered
the film a PG-13, not PG, rating).
Personally I had higher hopes for this film, given Cuarón's involvement
(his "A Little Princess," an adaptation of another beloved children's book,
and "Y Tu Mamá También" were two of my ten best films of 1995 and
2001 respectively), but the worst you can say about HP3 is that it's more of
the same... and endlessly so (almost two-and-a-half hours by the time
John Williams's unmemorable score drones to a close). The hippogriff,
made unnecessarily central, is decent; the werewolf, necessarily central,
is ludicrous; and they should have done more with the Marauder's Map.
Otherwise "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is a dependable
and easygoing entry in the ever dependable and ongoing series.

Tyson Beckford net worth and salary: Tyson Beckford is an American fashion model and actor who has a net worth of $16 million. Before making a shift to a film and television career, Tyson Beckford first rose to fame as a preeminent face for opulent clothier Ralph Lauren, after which he went on to become the first African-American male supermodel. Being a New York City's Bronx native, Beckford was born in 1970 to Jamaican parents and spent the early years of his life, until he was seven, in Jamaica. Having got back to the upstate New York, he got enrolled at top-ranked Pittsford Mendon High School in an affluent suburb of Pittsford, thanks to being part of a busing program that brought youths from urban areas to suburban schools. In 1992, he was recruited to hip hop magazine The Source and next landed an agent and began modeling for Ralph Lauren. This led Beckford to appear in print ads, on television and at various fashion events around the world. Climbing up on the career ladder, he was named a Man of the Year and one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World in 1995. Several years later, he widened his modeling horizons, making his feature debut with a cameo as himself in the Ben Stiller comedy Zoolander (2001). One year later, Beckford landed more substantial supporting role in the 2002 low-budget thriller Pandora's Box. As for TV, he served as a correspondent on the magazine show Source All Access TV (2000-01), after which he got guest spots on Half & Half (UPN, 2002-06) and My Wife and Kids (ABC, 2000-05). While his most notable small-screen roles include Biker Boyz (2003) and Into the Blue (2005). In June 2005, he went through near-fatal experience, surviving a car accident in Secaucus, New Jersey. Two years later, he shared hosting duties with fashion model Niki Taylor on the reality competition Make Me a Supermodel (Bravo, 2007- ).

New tests on a painting billed as the original version of the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's 15th century portrait, have produced fresh proof that it is the work of the Italian master, a Swiss-based art foundation says.
The tests, one by a specialist in "sacred geometry" and the other by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, were carried out in the wake of the Geneva unveiling of the painting, the Isleworth Mona Lisa, last September.
"When we add these new findings to the wealth of scientific and physical studies we already had, I believe anyone will find the evidence of a Leonardo attribution overwhelming," said David Feldman vice-president of the foundation said.
The Mona Lisa in the Paris Louvre for over three centuries has long been regarded as the only one painted by Leonardo - although there have been copies - and claims for the Swiss-held one were dismissed by some experts last year.
But it also won support in the art world, encouraging the Zurich-based Mona Lisa Foundation - an international group which says it has no financial interest in the work - to pursue efforts to demonstrate its authenticity.
Feldman, an Irish-born international art and stamp dealer, said he was contacted after the public unveiling of the portrait - which shows a much younger woman than in the Louvre - by Italian geometrist Alfonso Rubino.
"He has made extended studies of the geometry of Leonardo's Vitruvian Man" - a sketch of a youth with arms and legs extended - "and offered to look at our painting to see if it conformed", Feldman said.
The conclusion by the Padua-based Rubino was that the Isleworth portrait - named for a London suburb where it was kept by British art connoisseur Hugh Blaker 80-90 years ago - matched Leonardo's geometry and must be his.
The Zurich institute, the Foundation said, carried out a carbon-dating test on the canvas of its painting and found that it was almost certainly manufactured between 1410 and 1455 - refuting claims that it was a late 16th century copy.
Earlier brush-stroke studies presented last September by US physicist and art lover John Asmus concluded that both the "original" version and the Louvre crowd-puller were painted by the same artist.
The authenticity of the foundation's painting, discovered by Blaker in an English country house in 1913, has been fiercely challenged by British Leonardo authority Martin Kemp, who argued last year that "so much is wrong with it".
Feldman and foundation colleagues retort that Kemp has never followed up on invitations to come to see it.
Documents show that a painting of his wife Lisa was commissioned around the turn of the 16th century by Florentine nobleman Francesco del Giacondo. In French, the Louvre version is known as "La Giaconde" and "La Giaconda" in Italian.
Supporters of the "younger" version say it was almost certainly delivered unfinished to del Giacondo before Leonardo left Italy in 1506 and took up residence in France, where he died in 1519 in a small Loire chateau.
From the Giacondo house, it probably eventually found its way to England after being bought by a travelling English aristocrat, this account runs, while the Paris version was probably painted by Leonardo around 1516 in France.

Julie Greene
Executive Director
Greene developed an interest in driving global change as a teen. An impassioned volunteer, one of her most vivid memories was greeting Cambodian refugees as they deplaned at San Francisco International Airport, assisting the families and children as they settled into a TraveLodge to begin their new life in a new land. "All the children and adults were traumatized and exhausted," Greene recalls. "I became driven to choose work that would be life-changing for people who faced extraordinary challenges."
That experience led Greene to a work as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), an educator, and ultimately to Solar Cookers International, which has global impact to improve human health and preserve the environment.
As Greene worked with women one-to-one, she saw universal patterns emerge. "While I loved working with individual women and their families, it became clear that change on a global scale needed required supportive policy and advocacy, and networks with skilled, effective partners around the world."
Today, Greene leads a strong team at Solar Cookers International that educates, advocates, researches, and serves worldwide to save women's lives. She implements the strategy that weaves a global network of 500+ partners in 133 countries. Networking and convening individuals, NGOs, manufacturers, researchers, solar cooking field project managers, Greene leverages global expertise to drive solar cooker technology adoption, focusing on the world's regions of greatest need.
Greene also leads Solar Cookers International's advocacy efforts at the United Nations New York, exercising special consultative status with the United Nation's Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). As Solar cookers International's representative, Greene speaks on behalf of the global solar cooking sector, offering expertise and responding to requests for energy and environmental solutions on an international scale.
Greene prioritizes Solar Cookers International's work to focus first on the women and girls who live on less than $2 a day (USD) who are among the people who pay the highest human cost for their cooking energy in the world's poorest regions.
Greene was a TEDxSacramento 2016 Changemaker Fellow, a TEDxGrass Valley presenter in 2012, and received the Suman Foundation's Suryamitra Award in 2015. She was nominated for the Outstanding Women Leader Award for visionary leadership by the National Association of Women Business Owners, Sacramento Chapter, 2016. Greene is also an editor of the Solar Cookers International Digest. Languages: English, French.

It seems the Hong Kong and mainland Chinese watch markets are the prime movers behind keeping the historic Swiss watch industry ticking along - in more ways than one.
Hong Kong leads the way in terms of importing Swiss watches to an individual market - recording turnover of 1.4 million euros in the first eight months of the year, according to figures from the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (http://www.fhs.ch) - while China has moved into third behind the USA and France over that time thanks to a rise in imports of 63.3 percent (for a value of 487 million euros).
What's more, though, Swiss watchmakers turn East when they look for the components that make up their timepieces. They may well be "Swiss made'' but US$2.05 billion (1.5 billion euros) worth of watches and related components were imported to Switzerland last year - and 26 percent of those materials came from Hong Kong and China.
"To a great extent Hong Kong and China are what keeps the entire Swiss watch industry ticking, both as retail markets and component suppliers,'' CLSA consumer analyst Aaron Fischer told the South China Morning Post.
To counteract any bad press about the trend - and to ensure the "Swiss made'' legend remains - the Swiss government is considering legislation that will require local content to account for between 60 to 80 percent of the watch's value, including the cost of components, research and design. The law is designed to also protect other iconic Swiss exports such as cheese and chocolate.
The two countries are meanwhile exploring a bilateral free-trade arrangement which will have provisions for attacking the counterfeit "Swiss made'' market in China. The Post report claimed that of one million fake Swiss watches seized globally last year, 600,000 came from China.
