Scattered snow showers are continuing to fall across much of the area. Snow will gradually taper off during the overnight and early morning hours. Additional light accumulations are possible overnight before the snow winds down by early Wednesday.
Temperatures tonight will fall to near 0 or below. Winds blowing out of the Northwest at 25-35mph will make temperatures feel like they are -10 to -15 degrees in many locations with some spots in the mountains feeling like -20 degrees.
Skies will gradually clear on Wednesday and we'll see a break from the wintry precipitation before more snow arrives on Thursday.
Stay with StormTracker 59 for the latest weather information.
A WINTER STORM WARNING for the entire 59 News viewing area throughout the day and in to the night. We could possibly see anywhere from 4" to 8" (see picture) of heavy, wet snow across the area before the system exits later tonight. Wet snow piling up on limbs and power lines could mean power outages later today as wind gust from 20 to 30mph throughout the afternoon. Roads will be slick as the rain/snow mix we saw earlier today, causing the roads to be wet, will freeze as temperatures drop throughout the day. Snow will gradually taper off this afternoon/evening as the temperatures continue to plummet.
Midday temperatures will drop to the mid 20s by noon and in to the teens by this afternoon. Arctic air will continue to filter into the area, low will drop to around 0 throughout the overnight. Conditions will remain dangerous for driving for the next few days as temperatures will not climb to near freezing until the weekend. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY is also in effect for the area as values could drop to -20 below. Bundle up if you need tom go outside this afternoon/overnight.
Keep it here for updates on this winter storm and the potential for more snow on Thursday as a another cold front moves through the area.
Our first major winter storm of 2014 will move into the area tonight and bring snow and frigid air with it. Clouds will build throughout Monday evening and a light mix of rain/snow will move into the area with breezy conditions, winds could gust up to 30mph throughout the day. A cold front will move through overnight, changing the mix to snow. Heavy snow is possible for early Tuesday morning making for a messy morning commute as winds continue to gust. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Fayette, Raleigh, Wyoming, McDowell and Pocahontas counties with a Winter Storm Watch for Mercer, Tazewell, Summers, Monroe and Greenbrier counties. Snow totals could reach up to 6" in the higher elevations with some of the peaks getting up to 8". Most areas in the lowlands will accumulate around 3" to 4" and with the temperatures falling throughout Tuesday expect all that falls to stick.
Temperatures will gradually fall into the low 20's overnight and continue to fall throughout the day on Tuesday. By the late evening we could already be in the single digits with wind chills below zero. The snow will taper off into the overnight as the cold air settles in. Expect highs to stay below freezing for most places all the way into the weekend, making it hard to get rid of the snow that piles up.

Bottoms up: Invest in Brazilian beer
Here's a good swig of an emerging market: AmBev has huge growth potential in a country where beer consumption is rising fast.
I think this one fits the recommendations for how to invest in emerging markets that I laid out in my Jan. 7 post.
AmBev, or Companhia de Bebidas Das Americas (ABV), is the largest beer company in Brazil and the fourth-largest in the world. Its 70% market share in Brazil gives it huge exposure to growth in that country's domestic economy.
And Brazil isn't a bad beer market to dominate. Beer consumption is forecast to grow by 22% from 2008 to 2015, which ranks Brazil as the second-fastest-growing beer market in the world behind China.
Through its 100% ownership of Quinsa, AmBev sells the leading brands in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia. AmBev owns Canada's Labatt. The company is also the largest Pepsi bottler outside the United States, which gives AmBev huge volumes to feed through its distribution system.
Those volumes plus huge market shares plus a rigorous cost-cutting culture has made AmBev one of the most profitable beer companies in the world with a huge 37.8% core operating margin in 2008.
That's 15 to 20 percentage points higher than at competitors, according to Morningstar.
AmBev is controlled by AB InBev (AHBIF), the largest brewer in the world, which owns 84% of the voting stock. The two companies trade as separate public companies. (InBev looks like it will soon acquire full control of Mexico's Grupo Modelo, which will give the combined companies increased clout in heading off any challenge from Heineken, which has just bought Mexican brewer Femsa. Femsa sells the Bavaria, Sol, and Kaiser brands in Brazil.)
AMBev shares currently pay a dividend of a little more than 2%. As of Jan. 13, I'll be adding these shares to Jubak's Picks with a target price of $118 by October 2010.
At the time of this writing, Jim Jubak didn't own shares of any stock mentioned in this post. He plans to buy shares of AmBev three days after this is posted.

Learn Who Plays
Lecter's FBI Pursuer In
Bryan Fuller's HANNIBAL!!
Hugh Dancy ("Our Idiot Brother," "The Big C") will play Will Graham, the FBI profiler who captured Hannibal Lecter, in NBC's new "Silence of the Lambs" prequel series "Hannibal."
The role of Lecter should be cast any minute now.
Graham was the troubled hero of "Red Dragon," Thomas Harris' first Lecter novel, which was made into Michael Mann's excellent 1986 thriller "Manhunter" (starring Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecktor) and Brett Ratner's rather less accomplished 2002 Anthony Hopkins remake.
The "Red Dragon" novel begins long after Graham captured Lecter. The new series will begin with a pre-incarceration Lecter working with Graham to find other serial killers.
"CSI" icon William Petersen played Graham in the 1986 movie; Edward Norton stepped into the role for the remake.
"The Silence of the Lambs," which depicts (among many other things) Lecter's escape, was the Graham-free sequel to "Red Dragon."
NBC has ordered 13 episodes. Bryan Fuller, who also scripted the "Munsters" reboot pilot "Mockingbird Lane" for NBC, wrote the "Hannibal" pilot and serves as the series' creator/showrunner.
Fuller, who wrote for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and "Star Trek: Voyager" before he created "Dead Like Me," "Wonderfalls" and "Pushing Daisies," scripted the best episodes of "Heroes'" first season, including the killer Noah Bennet episode "Company Man."
Martha De Laurentiis, a member of the filmmaking clan behind all five Lecter movies, is producing the series as well.
Dancy's other credits include "Black Hawk Down," "Blood and Chocolate" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic."

Manhunter was dogshit
by JonJonB9
Everyone jizzes over it because they think they are special for voicing their preference for "Brian Cox's original Hannibal" and other such nonsense. Red Dragon was the superior adaptation and superior film overall.
March 22, 2012, 6:52 p.m. CST
But anyway
by JonJonB9
The premise has potential, but writing and casting will be everything. And I agree that HBO (or another cable network) would probably see this project better served.

I feel in the minority as well.
by Kavalier
I actually prefer Red Dragon quite a bit more than Manhunter. Even if you don't agree with me, at least admit that Red Dragon is better than Hannibal (the movie, not the show), because that's just a fact!

Anthony Stewart Head will be cast as Hannibal.

He is already within the NBC talentpool, and if you want to see the actor as a killer, go and watch Repo: The Genetic Opera.

This has so much potential that it wil most likely not meet.
by Randy
Seriously, imagine a series about a cop hunting down serial killers with the help of a serial killer that he doesn't even know is one. I could see episodes with them catching a guy, and then it cuts Lector doing some sick shit to someone. The clues are everywhere, but Will just never puts them together.

Manhunter was really, really 1980s
by Mugato5150
I love Michael Mann but damn that movie was dated. And not because it was made in 1986. Lethal Weapon and Die Hard were cop movies in 1987 and '88 and aren't nearly as dated. I don't know if it's the synth music or the acting style or the camera work but it looked like a 2 hour Miami Vice (also Mann) episode. Mann of course redeemed himself in the crime genre with Heat and Collateral. Brian Cox was a terrible Lecter too though. The kid in this picture looks like he couldn't man hunt a 300 pound Wal*Mart shoplifter trying to smuggle a turkey in her pants.
March 22, 2012, 7:19 p.m. CST
Red Dragon lacking it's own style is what killed it.
by Randy
Ratner has no voice, he's just a very by the books filmmaker, he tries to just copy what Demme did before and better. At least with Manhunter, that film stands on it's own as a stylish Michael Mann film.You can't put it in with the other films made in the series. Red Dragon is a good movie, but I think it suffers from feeling to familiar by the end. Let's just say, a little Edward Norton went a long way for that film.

You are witness to a great becoming. Those of you who would choose RED DRAGON are nothing more than ants in the afterbirth.

You know what? Peterson and Cox are both doing network shows next season. I'd much rather they get those two to reprise their Manhunter roles and have the ageing Graham having to come out of retirement again to deal with "Lecktor". OK, pair Peterson with a Younger, Sexier Partner (TM) if you have to, but goddamit, those two going head to head again would be fantastic. Dream much, Will?

I liked both Manhunter and Red Dragon
by lochkray
I know Ratner gets a lot of hate (and his pre-oscar stupid comments has only made that worse), some deserved, but I personally really liked Red Dragon, and prefer it over Manhunter. I do agree with comments about the Graham character not being effectively fleshed out, but I blame that on Norton - I don't hate the actor, but I didn't care for him in the role. Finnes' Tooth-fairy was done well, his relationship with the blind coworker was effective. I just find Norton too cocky to show off Graham's emotional weaknesses. I also can't take the man as a protagonist after seeing him shoot Donald Sutherland in The Italian Job. Nobody that shoots Donald Sutherland should ever be allowed to be the hero.

One thing that stands out as being less silly about Manhunter
by Mugato5150
was the sterile psyche ward they kept Hannibal in. The medieval dungeon made of rock in Silence and Red Dragon was just over the top and goofy. And of course they shoehorned Lecter into Red Dragon a little much, which I understand but still. If they wanted more Anthony Hopkins there should have been a longer backstory scene before he was caught.
March 22, 2012, 8:28 p.m. CST
I liked Hannibal as well
by Mugato5150
but the book was fucking absurd. Hannibal and Clarice kill Ray Liotta together and then become lovers. I don't blame Jodie Foster for backing out then apparently lost interest even after they changed the script.

Just one Brian Cox joke so far?
by Lord Haw Haw
Did I miss a memo? Anyway, count me in with those that think "Red Dragon" was a solid flick. My only major beef--aside from Lecter's capture-- was the extra scenes containing Anthony Hopkins, which only served to dilute the character of Lector as a whole. In this case, less would certainly have been more. The one significant story element "Manhunter" completely failed to utilize was Dolarhyde's relationship with his grandmother; "Red Dragon" didn't explore this as much as I would have liked, but it was certainly there. Shame, really, because I thought it was one of the most interesting parts of the book.
March 22, 2012, 9:57 p.m. CST
Soo.. has anyone here ever SEEN RED DRAGON?
by Monroville
I can understand not liking MANHUNTER, as it is very '80's. Buuuut it does have a unique style, and the acting is more than competent. RED DRAGON on the other hand? Decent if not typical look for the time (I would say it is less dated, but other than being well-lit, it doesn't really "have" a style), but the acting (specifically from Norton) stinks. Jesus Christ is Norton boring. Or worse, he just comes across as just not really caring to put anything into the character. If you like it, fine. For me, there is nothing to really distinguish it from anything else. There is no real reason for it to exist other than to cash in on the tail end of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
March 22, 2012, 10:21 p.m. CST
Manhunter gets about a billion things wrong from the excellent book that Red Dragon nails, only old-school fanboys still think its a good film!
by CeejayNightwing
It's not, the villain isn't even half as intelligent as the he's supposed to be in the book and looks more like Frankenstein than the near model of physical acceptance he works hard to become in the book and in Ratners more accurate film. The ridiculous shoot out at the end of Manhunter is so A-typical of 80's tv movies too, its nothing like the clever ending they got done right in Ratners version which is the book. Literally, most fanboys don't read, they just celebrate stuff they enjoyed as a kid and stick it on a pedestal! Manhunter is a classic case of style over content!

Red Dragon was a good film that should have been great.
by Queefer Sutherland
With the acting talent, and the screenplay, you'd think some magic would have happened, but with Ratner at the helm, it was merely competent. A better director would have ramped up the intensity and gotten more out of actors, especially Norton, who just didn't convince me in this one. Especially the scenes where he's "profiling" by talking aloud to the criminal, "getting into his head" and all that stuff. That was just plain uninspired acting and directing. Those should have been tense scenes, really serious shit, and instead it was limply acted and directed. I'm a great Hopkins fan, but even I'm tired of his Hannibal Lecter tricks. So Red Dragon just kind of laid back let itself get fucked, instead of doing some fucking back. I blame Ratner. There's a reason there's so much Ratner-bashing, and it's because he's at best a competent director, but never a great one, and Red Dragon deserved a great director. You gotta wonder about the politics in Hollywood, how somebody could actually make the decision to hand a jewel to a turd. Manhunter isn't any better. It's so woefully dated now, it isn't even funny. Cox is good, his performance is timeless, but the rest of the movie is pretty silly. And that soundtrack! Fucking God! Release a director's cut of this film with an updated soundtrack and I might be able to enjoy it more. Otherwise, better watched without sound. You've heard the truth here, folks. You can disagree with me, but you will be wrong.
March 22, 2012, 11:02 p.m. CST

It would be nice if they could get somebody high profile who can eat this role up (ha ha) and spit it out. Get it some attention and do it right. I'll believe it when I see it. I haven't seen anything in Fuller's work that makes me think he's a good match. I think the best thing he's ever done is Dead Like Me and the rest is eh. And now he's also doing the Munsters, and wants to go back to Star Trek. Too bad he doesn't like Babylon 5. I'd rather see that redone. Whatever, I don't fucking care. I don't even know why I'm spending time here. I've got other things to do, for God's sake.

Ugh, this project reeks of producer greed
by gaygoonie
The De Laurentiis's, or however you spell their name, made Manhunter. When it bombed, they wanted nothing to do with its follow-up, Silence of the Lambs. Then, when that hits, they come crawling back to the franchise and have milked it for every fucking penny with Hannibal, Red Dragon and that shitty prequel movie. Now, a TV series. Ugh, they are cheesy and greedy rights holders.

I was one of the few people who saw Manhunter when it came out and I had never seen anything like it!
by MRJONZ72
Yeah there had been a couple serial killer/thrillers films out there..but nothing like the glut we got in the 90's. So if someone seeing the movie way way after the fact they might not have the same enthusiasm as someone that seen it earlier on. I still love the film..I admit in some ways it is dated. I still think William Peterson was clearly a better Will Graham than Edward Norton, I just didnt get the sense of the somewhat tortured mentally beaten man that Graham should be at all out of Norton. I also prefer that Graham had less help from Lector. I do understand to a degree why they shoe-horned Lector more in Red Dragon. I did find some good stuff about Tooth Fairy performances tho. There are other things I liked about Red Dragon too but I rather watch Manhunter..hence its the only one I own on VHS and two copies on DVD lol!

Herc, your taste in movies never seizes to please me!
by wtriker1701
MANHUNTER is 80's, stylish, might have aged not well to the younger audience - but Hell, it's just the BEST of all movies. Michael Mann's masterpiece before HEAT. Though I must say, I've seen HANNIBAL when it came out - and I couldn't talk afterwards for almost an hour, just speechless. And that doesn't mean, that movie was disgusting, horrible, nor boring... I still think, it's more of a painting, a piece of art than a movie. I've just seen it a second time lately, though I had sworn years ago, I would NEVER watch it again. Because it was very intense, not bad. SILENCE OF THE LAMPS had great actors (especially Jodie Foster!), but it felt more like a TV movie - not a cinematic experience. RED DRAGON was just boring. And I would have wanted to see a movie, where Hannibal gets busted by Will Graham ultimately. Ta Taa H.

There's no through line except Lecter appears in both but in Red Dragon he's not a big part of the story. It's not like Silence of the Lambs picked up where Red Dragon left off ... They're discrete stories.

Neither Red Dragon nor Manhunter got it right IMO
by SINSHINE
Red Dragon was a tremendous novel...just as good as Lambs, if not BETTER! I remember finishing the novel the night WPIX premiered Manhunter (in fact, they retitled it Red Dragon for the television premiere) and being disapointed in many areas (Dolarhyde NOT a hulk...lack of backstory on FD including his relationship to the painting...the burning house & headless gas station attendant, and of course, the great showdown in the sand dunes at the end). HOWEVER, it did have a GREAT tone to it despite the heavy sheen of thick 80s gloss. Graham's crime scene examinations and, more specifically, the scene where he puts it all together and realizes that the video tapes are the key are done especially well in this film and trump ANY scene in Ratner's film. As for Red Dragon (Ratner), yes...this film seemed to stick to many of the plot points and details of the novel (not all, but more than Manhunter) is simply didn't do a good job of making me care about ANYONE in the film. It seemed emotionless. The best performance in the film comes from Emily Watson, hands down. Unfortunately, she only has about 15 minutes of screen time. Ralph Fiennes does an average job here and is a believable force to be reckoned with, yadda yadda yadda, but Tom Noonan's Dolarhyde is wonderfully creepy. This film is also an enigma as it seems to speed through some of the most interested parts and drag during other, less pivotal moments. There's no flow to it. Lastly, although I prefer Anthony Hopkin's Lecter to Brian Cox...that only rings true of AH's portrayal in Lambs and Hannibal. His dialogue tries too hard here (as it does a bit in Hannibal) but in this case I feel AH is simply pulling a (more recent) Pacino and phoning it in for the check. All in all...I prefer Michael Mann's version. But I don't think the novel has been done justice on film yet. Perhaps in another 20 years, if reboots are still all the rage (sadly, this will probably be the case) someone will go back and stay true to the source material and infuse some of emotion and style Mann achieves. By then, BC and AH should be retired or RETIRED and there will be no need to revisit the "mine is better than yours" arguement.

It's alright Antino, what we both said is true, Ratner lacks vision as a filmmaker.
by Randy
Red Dragon is a good movie, but it's not great because it's director just lacks any punch to make it standout. I'll take Mann's style over substance anytime, because Mann's style>Ratner's substance. and Red Dragon wasn't a very deep film, it was just a decent thriller. Neither film touches Silence of the Lambs, Demme was a very inspired choice and it paid off big time.

Loved Manhunter, except for a handful of extremely dated things...
by ides
The cartoonish reporter and the awful 80's rock song over the end credits. I still think Peterson, the villain, the depiction of the crimes, and way the investigation unfolds make it an absolutely terrific film.
March 23, 2012, 11:39 a.m. CST
MANHUNTER is flawed, but it is marbled with greatness.
by Robert Evans
The Dolarhyde-blind chick love story was too rushed, and Mann was clearly in TV mode in some parts, but it looks great, Peterson is firing on all cylinders, and Cox is fucking phenomenal (although I still prefer Hopkins in SILENCE). RED DRAGON isn't bad, but it is pure mediocrity. Ratner was just doing a pale impression of Demme. Add in a charisma-less Will Graham and Danny Elfman exploding all over the place, and you're left with filler.
March 23, 2012, 11:59 a.m. CST
re: "Twasn't a sequel. There's no through line except Lecter appears in both...
by buggerbugger
...but in Red Dragon he's not a big part of the story." Not quite. Both Graham and Starling are sent to talk to Lecter by their boss at Quantico, Jack Crawford (played by Dennis Farino ('Manhunter'), Harvey Keitel ('Red Dragon') and Scott Glenn ('Lambs'). The character appears in all of Harris's Lecter-related novels. Also, Will Graham's experiences with Lecter get mentioned to Starling in 'Lambs'. She's chosen by Crawford precisely because she's **not** as experienced as Graham, as Crawford knows that Lecter will see through his plan to use the prisoner's knowledge of serial murder. If 'Lambs' isn't a sequel to the earlier story, then 'Patriot Games' isn't a prequel (novel) / sequel (movie) to 'The Hunt for Red October' because Jack Ryan didn't play a particularly big part in the latter.

Manhunter>Red Dragon
by Patrick Pettay
1. Manhunter vs. Red Dragon. Manhunter was devloped as a stand alone movie about an FBI Profiler working to catch a serial killer. Red Dragon was just another excuse to get Anthony Hopkins back in the cell as Lecter, which by now has to be labeled as a blatant cash grab by the studio. 2. Petersen vs. Norton as Graham. Petersen gets the angst that Graham must feel using his gift to think like a serial killer and fearing for his own sanity in the process. Petersen plays the role like a nervous wreck. That is best expressed during his visit to visit Lecter's cell. Graham's desperately trying to keep calm in front of Lecter who constantly observing and proding him with questions, trying to read him. By the time Lecter finally ask's "Do you dream much Will?" Graham has to get out of there desperate for fresh air. Petersen played the character like you could smell the sweat on him. Norton, not so much. 3. Cox vs. Hopkins as Lecter. I will not say Cox is better than Hopkins as Lecter. Hopkins made that role his with Silence of the Lambs and it will always be his, even if he has gone back to the well several times now. But Cox does a solid job here, the phone call scene alone is just as cool as Lecters escape in Lambs. Also remember Lecter is a minor character in Manhunter, maybe 15 minutes of screen time, not a co-lead like Red Dragon. 4. Noonan vs. Fiennes as Dollarhyde. Noonan was way creepier and more physically imposing as the Tooth Fairy. Let's face it which guy would you rather catch in your house in the middle of the night. 5. Steven Lang vs Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Loundes. Lang plays the asshole role here perfectly. Hoffman was a little laconic in the role so he never really generated the audience hate for the character. 6. Memorable scenes: Does Red Dragon have any uniquely memorable scenes that you remember the second you think back on the film, I can't think of any. Manhunter has the Lecter phone call, the FBI tech's finding the Tooth Fairy's message to Lecter on the toilet paper role (a precurser to all the CSI type shows to come) and of course the Graham/Dollarhyde final conflict with "In A Gadda Da Vita" blasting in the soundtrack. Manhunter was awesome. Red Dragon was a poor copy just to squeeze a few more dollars out of the Hannibal Lecter franchise.

Why I like Brian Cox's interpretation of Hannibal Lecter.
by ChaunceyGardiner
First off, I have to say that I was a child when "Silence of The Lambs" came out. It was on a tape my cousins had; as was their family custom, they used to record the movies they rented and so each tape, recorded in EP mode, had 3 movies each on them, leading to a strange disparity of what films you could watch on any one tape. The 90s remake of "Lord of the Flies" was the picture before "Silence of the Lambs" and after watching and surviveing "Lord of the Flies" at a young age, when those great titles over Starling's run in the FBI training field in the Virginia forrests began and I heard that score, I was immediately on edge despite haveing no idea what "Silence of the Lambs" was. My cousin immediately stopped the tape and said, "You can't watch that one, it's too much." I was intrigued. What could be more horrifying than Piggy's head being cracked open by a stone? It would take me years to figure out what exactly my cousin meant. I didn't see "Manhunter" until it coincided with my love for the books "Silence of the Lambs" and "Red Dragon" and my early college fascination with just how awesome Michael Mann films were; it also helped that I was going to school in Atlanta and found out that several prominent buildings I frequented and loved the architecture of were also places that Michael Mann fell in love with - noteable among them are the downtown Marriot, the world's tallest atrium whose structure is fascinateing in that it is a hollowed out design where the rooms are on the perimeter of the building and not the centre which is open all the way to the top of the building where plants drape down from the top floor from planters and rooftop refigeration units control the humidity that collects up there because of the fact that without them the building creates its own internal atmosphere: ie, indoor weather. The design beautifully resembles a thorasic cavity, a ribcage over 40 stories tall, each floor resembleing a ribbone that radiates from the central elevator shaft (this anatomical design feature is seen in "Manhunter"). My friends and I used to walk downtown just to ride the elevator there and enjoy the uniqueness of that great building - almost no building I know of creates quite the same sense of vertigo; to the best of my knowledge they ask permission of their guests before placeing them on the top floor. The express elevator is like a 40-story vertical rollercoaster. The other Atlanta landmark is the High Museum of Art whose adobe-like exterior staggered-cube design and green slopeing lawn double as Lecter's asylum. Also featured is the High's vast winding ramped internal walkway that encircles the main lobby and provides access to the three or four stories of the museum, which uses a gradual incline instead of stairs, a screw design, to get one from one floor to the next. Petersen's Graham is seen fleeing down it after a maddening encounter with Lecter. Knowing these things about "Manhunter," I had an inherent sense that this was a film I would like. I bought it online without seeing it, and was blown away - I love the tension of the date scene with the sedated Siberian tiger (Joan Allen really is a beautifully sensual actress). Now, while Tony Hopkins will always be Dr. Lecter for me, I love the contrast that Cox's performance provides. Cox's is almost a method-style interpretation, from inside-out. No longer a professional all we see is a supposedly slovenly exterior. It is all a quail manuever - when Cox's Lecter uses the gum wrapper to make a long-distance call to alert Graham's prey, it comes as a horrifying moment in which we realize the genious that lurks inside this man we have not previously considered as dangerous, despite knowledge of his crimes. Thinking him neutered in his prison cell, he reveals himself as a frighteningly powerful nemisis. And Cox plays it nonchalantly, lazily, as if it is just another trick in the bag. At this moment, we feel as though his Dr. Lecter is only in prison because he allows himself to be there. He betrays Graham as if it were a spot of fun, somethign one would do while bored. An awesome character moment - instead of the grandiosity of Hopkins' Lecter, we get the complete antithesis of that performance. It doesn't lessen its quality. In fact, it makes Mann's vision of Lecter's world unique in the many versions there have been of that violent and terrifying literary icon. So while I find Hopkins' performance and interpretation more closely fitting the book, and also the most definative, I also value Cox's early contribution.

appearing dated
by Truxton Spangler
is a valid criticism, when it's striking enough to draw attention or detract from the other elements of the work. Being emblematic of the times in which it was made isn't always a bad thing, but that doesn't mean it can't be a negative either. Solid 13 ep. order? NBC better hope it doesn't turn out like The Firm.

Red Dragon ending
by Flippadippa
Yeah, let's take the testimony of a blind woman that the second most famous serial killer in American history killed him,self and his body was incinerated in a fire. Case closed. Yeah, right... Norton - good actor, all wrong for Will Graham. Petersen owned that role. Cox - understated and better superior as Lector. Ratner tried to move into Mann's league - used Spinotti, ripped off Manhunter up the wazoo and still made a middle of the road flick.

Lecter is a supporting character in Red Dragon
by Thunderbolt Ross
He's hardly in it. In SOTL he's a huge part of the story. He actually PARTICIPATES in the narrative as opposed to just helping it to move along as in Red Dragon. SOTL is about Lecter, to a degree. Red Dragon isn't. Just because there are references to the earlier book doesn't make it a sequel. OBVIOUSLY they are connected. It would have been pretty odd to not acknowledge Red Dragon but at the same time they are two separate stories.

Hopkins Is The Only Lecter
by ChiTownsBest
Cox was all wrong for the role. Mahunter is a good movie, but not great. The changes to the novel were unnecessary and the ending was very Miami Vice style. The ending even had the slow motion gunshots exactly like a Miami Vice shootout. It actually took the movie down a notch for me. The best thing about Manhunter is the beautiful cinematography by Dante Spinotti and the excellent perfomance by William Peterson. William Peterson was a great Will Graham. Red Dragon is exactly the opposite for me. Hopkins is the ultimate Dr. Lecter. You can always tell there is more going on behind those eyes then he lets you know. Edward Norton is a terrible Will Graham. He never seems like a match for Lecter. In fact, it almost seems like pure luck that he caught him at all. Will Graham should be a match for Lecter in every way, and Norton didn't convey this at all. The main issue I had with Red Dragon was that it was highly faithful to the book, except when it came to Lecter. Lecter is a minor character in the book who causes some major problems. There is nothing wrong with adding more of Lecter, it's just the way the added him that's a problem. The entire scene where Will talks to Lecter while he walks in a circle in chains is so stupid it took me out of the movie. It's too bad we can't go back in time and have William Peterson facing Anthony Hopkins before Silence ever existed. They both gave the definitive performance for their characters.

by Thomas Grisso with Randy Borum, John F. Edens, Jennifer Moye, and Randy K. Otto; New York, Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, 2003, 541 pages, $125
When the first edition of Thomas Grisso's Evaluating Competencies: Forensic Assessments and Instruments was published in 1986, the field of forensic psychology and psychiatry had a different landscape. Many traditional forensic mental health evaluations of that era included a review of records, an unstructured clinical interview, and individual personality and intelligence tests, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), Rorschach testing, and the Wechsler intelligence scales. From these broad sources of information, forensic evaluators gave opinions about various criminal and civil psycholegal questions: Was the defendant competent to stand trial? Was the defendant insane or suffering from diminished mental capacity at the time of the offense? What was the litigant's competency to parent? Forensic experts typically rendered these opinions on the basis of their rough ideas of what issues were involved— "informed speculation," as Grisso termed it in the first edition of Evaluating Competencies.
In the first edition, Grisso presented and organized principles for forensic mental health evaluations, principles that have guided the field since that time. He recommended that forensic mental health evaluations be based on a careful analysis of the psycholegal issues involved in each legal proceeding and that empirically based forensic assessment instruments be developed to evaluate specific competencies and functional capacities. In a thoughtful analysis, Grisso articulated six components of legal competencies: functional, contextual, causal, interactive, judgmental, and dispositional. No one had previously described the components of each legal competency. Moreover, no one had proposed the idea—novel at the time, but in retrospect reasonable—that some situations demand higher levels of competency than others, depending on the complexity of the individual's legal situation.
Grisso's second major contribution to the first edition of Evaluating Competencies was organizing the forensic assessment instruments—a term he coined—that are used in six major forensic competence evaluation areas: competency to stand trial, waiver of rights to silence and legal counsel, absence of guilt by reason of insanity, parenting capacity (determination of child custody), guardianship and conservatorship, and competency to consent to treatment. (The exception here, which Grisso himself noted, is insanity, which cannot be viewed as a competency issue.) The instruments he reviewed in these areas were a combination of those that had been developed for general purposes and that had applicability in forensic evaluations, such as many of the instruments used to assess parent-child relationships and the relatively few instruments that had been specifically developed to address forensic questions, such as the competence-to-stand-trial instruments developed by the Harvard Laboratory of Community Psychiatry in the 1970s.
Now, 15 years later, Grisso has written the second edition, with the assistance of four other prominent forensic psychologists. The second edition of Evaluating Competencies reflects the changes in the field that have occurred during the past 15 years. Although the second edition reviews the same six forensic evaluation areas, many of the specific instruments reviewed are new. The past decade has seen the development of many forensic assessment instruments designed to address specific forensic questions—particularly parenting capacity and guardianship and conservatorship evaluation instruments. This edition reviews these new forensic assessment instruments and omits many of the older general instruments that were reviewed in the first edition. The presentation of the instrument reviews remains unchanged: description, conceptual basis, psychometric development, construct validation, predictive or classificatory utility, and potential for expressing person-environment congruency.
In the second edition of Evaluating Competencies, the six components of legal competencies have been collapsed into five, the contextual component having been folded into the functional component. Descriptions of the instruments that were included in the first edition and that are reviewed again in the second include much of Grisso's original text, even if technically these sections were written by one of the new authors, although the research has been brought up to date. In the introductory materials in each chapter, much of the text has been revised to reflect changes in the law or in psychological research and theory.
The first edition of this book was a classic, widely cited both for its analysis of forensic assessment instruments and for Grisso's integrative theory of forensic evaluation. With the second edition, Evaluating Competencies remains a classic. I expect that whenever a forensic psychologist or psychiatrist prepares for an advanced examination in this specialty, this book will—or should—be one of the first books reviewed.

The Bronco was plenty capable of pulling the horse trailer the guy needed it for, but the lighter weight made it no picinic to stop! When my dad test drove it, he knew after the first 50 feet out onto the road that she was comin home with him. It was the first of eventually four Broncos that he owned(two 69's and two 73's). This Bronco is very special to me because I came home from the hospital the day I was born in it! I've been on the road, in the mud, in the snow and on the beach in this Bronco both while my mom was pregnant with me and after she had me! Jump ahead a handful of years to the point that my daily driver was an 89 5.0 that really didn't get along well with snow, which brought up the issue that I had always wanted a Bronco of my own. Dad came to me with a proposal that was an unexpected dream come true. Dad signed the title to this Bronco over to me with one agreement, if I ever loose interest in it, I had to give it back….DON"T HOLD YOUR BREATH DAD!!!! It didn't look like this when I took possession, but I saw what it would look like one day. Every drop of blood, sweat, and tears(and a few newly created swear words) along the way done by me to make what you see here. Thanks Dad!

Holidays are a time for having fun, escaping from the stresses and strains of work and spending some quality time with family and friends, so you don't really want to think about having to stay in shape. However, if you are conscious of needing to fit into a specific outfit when you get home, or are counting the calories for some other reason, here are some simple ways of keeping the weight off without having to miss out on treats:

European bank supervisors will have notified 28 banks by the end of today whether their plans to raise capital satisfy requirements, according to three people familiar with the discussions.
A minority of the lenders will have to give more details on how they intend to sell assets and retain earnings to meet the European Banking Authority's 9 percent goal for core Tier-1 capital ratios, said one of the three people, who all declined to be identified because the talks are private. The banks may also have to provide contingency plans to raise capital, the person said.
"I think a lot of banks thought they would be able to sell performing portfolios and were unsuccessful," said Simon Gleeson, a financial regulation partner at Clifford Chance LLP in London, speaking of assets that aren't distressed.
The EBA told banks to raise 114.7 billion euros ($151.6 billion) in fresh capital by the end of June as part of measures introduced to respond to the sharp fall in the value of securities issued by euro-area governments. The authority required banks to keep a core Tier-1 capital ratio of 9 percent and hold additional reserves, called a sovereign buffer, against the debt of weaker euro-area countries, based upon the market price of the bonds.
The EBA will host a meeting next month in London of the 27 national bank supervisors of the European Union. The meeting will examine the plans of banks that haven't yet complied, according to the people familiar with the talks.
The EBA and national supervisors met last month to discuss the proposals from the 28 largest banks participating in the capital-raising exercise.
Banks submitted their plans to raise capital in January and the EBA said in December that lenders aren't allowed to reduce lending to hit the target ratios.
Commerzbank AG (CBK), Germany's second-largest lender, rose about 15 percent on Jan. 19 after the bank said it's more than halfway to reaching a 5.3 billion-euro capital goal without resorting to government aid.
Banco Santander SA (SAN), Spain's biggest bank, was required to plug a 15.3 billion-euro shortfall. Santander said Jan. 9 it met the EBA's requirements by selling stakes in South American lenders, issuing new stock in exchange for preferred equity and paying dividends in shares.

Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he will deliver his recommendations on reducing gun violence to President Barack Obama by Tuesday, perhaps including universal background checks for purchases and forbidding certain types of high-capacity magazines.
Biden gave the most detailed description so far of what his panel will propose, telling sporting groups at the start of a meeting that there is broad consensus among those he's surveyed to require universal background checks on all gun purchases and to restrict the amount of ammunition that can be included in a gun magazine.
"There's a real, very tight window to do this," Biden said. "I committed to him I'd have these recommendations to him by Tuesday and it doesn't mean it's the end of the discussion, but the public wants us to act."
(Also on POLITICO: Immigration's new rival: Gun control)
He said he is hearing an "emerging set" of recommendations from the groups meeting with his panel.
"I'm going to focus on the ones that relate primarily to gun ownership and the type of weapons that can be owned," Biden said. "There is a surprising, so far, a surprising recurrence of suggestions that we have universal background checks. Not just close the gun show loophole, but total, universal background checks, including private sales."
The sessions come at moment of high drama on the gun issue. Biden on Wednesday made the Obama administration's most explicit promise to curb gun violence. He is scheduled to meet Thursday afternoon with the NRA and other gun-owners groups, and Attorney General Eric Holder will meet with representatives from Wal-Mart and eight sporting good stores that sell guns.
(Also on POLITICO: Giffords launches anti-gun website)
Biden said he has been surprised by the support for forbidding high-capacity magazines like those used in shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo.
"I've never quite heard as much talk about the need to do something about high-capacity magazines as I've heard spontaneously from every group that we've met with so far," Biden said.
"There is nothing that has pricked the consciousness of the American people, there is nothing that has gone to the heart of the matter more than the visual image people have of little six year old kids riddled -- not shot with a stray bullet -- riddled, riddled with bullet holes in their classroom," the vice president added. "And the public demands we speak to it."
(PHOTOS: Politicians speak out on gun control)
There is no one who believes the NRA will blithely accept unilateral administrative action to address guns or support new gun-control legislation.
Yet people on both sides of the gun debate said the fact that the meeting is happening is evidence of progress. The NRA's participation marks the first time it has been involved in any discussions about potentially restricting gun rights in nearly two decades, since the Clinton-era enactment of the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban in 1994.
"I think it's useful to have these discussions and it's useful that people representing both the industry and the firearms community will be having an opportunity to provide some input," said Joe Tartaro, the president of the Second Amendment Foundation and executive editor of Gun Mag. "There's a lot of things that they can deal with short of enacting a new ban or something like that."
Tartaro said if the NRA and like-minded groups are willing to speak with the Obama administration there is room for agreement on ways to implement universal gun background checks and push for stronger enforcement of existing gun laws.
"There's a number of issues besides, 'Let's impose a new ban or let's limit magazines,'" Tartaro said. "There are people in the industry or in the firearms community who can see where the holes exist. The gun show thing is something that has been on the table. How it is done will make a lot of difference. The opposition to it in the firearms community may be ameliorated if the specifics of the language are better."
And Richard Feldman, a former gun lobbyist who now advocates "a thoughtful approach to firearms freedom" as president of the New Hampshire-based Independent Firearm Owners Association, said the NRA's participation shows a willingness to be seen as something other than obstinate in the gun control discussion.
"I think it shows some real maturity on the part of the NRA," said Feldman, who will attend the meeting with Biden. "If you're so tough and so strong and so convinced in the righteousness of your opinion, why would you be so afraid of sitting down?"
People who have participated in meetings and conference calls with the Biden working group in recent weeks have described them largely as listening sessions, with administration officials and staff asking for input on what will work, rather than what is politically feasible.
"Let us worry about the politics," Biden has implored people participating, according to several who spoke about the sessions.
Yet the politics are inevitable. Obama said after the Newtown shooting that he wants to see concrete proposals from the Biden group by mid-January. On Jan. 19, a coalition of gun-rights groups will host a Gun Appreciation Day. On Jan. 20, a group of religious leaders will host a Gun Violence Prevention Sabbath.
"We will be lifting up stories of families that lost members," said the Rev. Michael McBride, a California minister who met with Biden Wednesday night and is part of the coalition behind the Jan. 20 event. "We will ask all of our congregants to sign petitions and make phone calls to legislators to enact stronger gun laws.
White House spokesman Jay Carney on Wednesday said the administration hopes the meetings will be productive.
"I don't want to and the president doesn't want to prejudge the actions of organizations or groups who are stakeholders in this discussion," Carney said at his daily briefing.
Biden on Wednesday said the administration will not engage in an all-or-nothing strategy.
"We are not going to get caught up in the notion that unless we can do everything, we're going to do nothing. It's critically important that we act," Biden said.

I recently finished my latest painting, a portrait of a friend/client's daughter, "Sarah." It's been a struggle. I started over twice, it's been regularly put on hold because of my "day job" — creating another kind of "art" and the picture has regularly enjoyed trips from our home in the city to our studio in the woods without collecting a single new brush stroke, due to my failure to "commit." The toughest part of any artistic endeavor is maintaining the necessary excitement in the process. Therein lies the reason for the many starts, stops and creative blocks in this, as well as every other painting I've done. Some come much easier than this one and are finished in far less time but they all present challenges that make me wonder why such a personally fulfilling and enjoyable pursuit doesn't happen with a lot less frustration and feelings of futility. With painting I can put it off for a while and come back to it with "fresh eyes." It also helps to have lots going on because one creative project informs the others in painting as well as design — I guess that's also why I'm a creative director and work on all the design projects we have going rather than focusing on one thing at a time. Or, maybe it's A.D.D. I seem to need to have lots of very different things going on for relatively short periods of time. Switching from painting to design and back again is really a nice way to work. On the one hand, it's different and for that reason it recharges me. On the other hand, it's the same so it's a comfortable transition. I don't know — I guess that's why I lump it all together under "art."
Over the past year we've been in the throws of more truly fulfilling design projects than I've ever been involved in. There are a lot of explanations for this but I think the main reason I feel this way is that I believe each and every one of them is "art." I consider the ongoing debate about art vs. design to be a valid one with legitimate arguments on both sides. However, I also know that in my life, design is art and art is design. I approach both in an almost identical way — the thought process, the mental preparation, the organization of reference imagery, the consideration of context as well as the audience and even my "tricks of the trade" are virtually the same. With painting, I also tend to be my own "worst client," constantly second-guessing myself and wondering if the job could be done better. Most importantly, my level of satisfaction with either has the exact same criteria — am I proud of the finished product? Did it accomplish what I set out to accomplish both personally and professionally? It hasn't always been that way. In the business of design there seems to be various levels of compromise around every corner. Most of this has to do with money. Most are also fairly easy to avoid — so easy that it only took me about 35 years of creative pursuit to figure it out. The simple lesson goes something like this: only create for people who will allow you to do work that you're proud of. Whether I've been commissioned to do a portrait or to design a new brand identity, a few simple questions directed at the client are all it takes to find out if that most important goal can be achieved. More on those in a future webpost but suffice it to say they're founded in basic human nature rather than any keen business insights. It's been almost 5 years since our design company became independent. That independence has had much more to do with a state of mind than it has had to do with our corporate status. Any wounds from compromise in our former affiliations were self-inflicted and my personal responsibility. I've had the good fortune of having the "last word" on who we work for and how we work, ever since my name was first placed on the door. The difference between then and now is creating a business plan that has personal fulfillment ahead of making a buck. That requires discipline that I haven't always been willing to enlist. I think a lot of it comes with age and finally figuring out what really matters in life.Getting back into painting eight or nine years ago taught me a very important lesson about business and more importantly, about life — it's important to wake up in the morning with a burning desire to get back to the easel, regardless of how challenging the current state of the "art" might be. If you know that compromise does not stand in the way of the end product, fighting through those challenges will be well worth the effort and oh so rewarding. I'm only restricted by my own limitations, not those imposed by an unreasonable client. If someone wants me to paint something that is not up to my standards, I have only myself to blame for taking on the project in the first place. To me, that's the difference between art and commerce or what some people consider the divide between art and design. In my mind, today it's possible to have it both ways and still make a more than comfortable living, not to mention achieving the biggest benefit of any career – looking forward to going to "work."

Eau Claire (WQOW) - After seeing a successful land conservation committee take hold in Chippewa County, Eau Claire launched its own program in 2009.
However, they're still searching for full funding and now must find a new revenue stream to protect potential purchases.
"It's just solely on the interest of conserving our resources.," says Eau Claire County land conservation supervisor Kelly Jacobs.
A simple mission, based on a similar conservation group in a neighboring county, with one major difference.
"Unlike Chippewa County, we don't have sales tax supporting our program, but we can raise money here in the community," says stewardship member Duke Welter.
In other words, the Eau Claire County Land Stewardship needs your help to become a first-time land owner.
"If we can make some money to help us with this transaction that will be a great step forward for the program," says Welter.
The parcel of land up for sale is 160-acres near the Eau Claire River in the eastern end of the county.
"It's a little bit tricky in that you have to have some kind of seed funds to work from. So we have developed brochures and asked for donations, but until we get that really good property to start off with, it's hard for people to picture what we're looking at," says Jacobs.
But being so close to owning that initial property has the group in high spirits.
"It's exciting to be making progress and having a goal of our first acquisition in sight," says Welter.
Once the first piece of property is secured it doesn't require a whole lot of additional money to keep the deed in hand.
"When we purchase a property with the stewardship program, it becomes Eau Claire County owned. So it would not have any tax base associated with it," explains Jacobs.
Then the group can decide how to use and preserve the land for generations.
"It depends on the property, so we have the flexibility to be able to either manage it as a wildlife, manage it as a public resource, recreation area, even manage it as just a set aside natural area," says Jacobs.
Preserving it through non-profit support of those who love the outdoors.
To help spread the word and raise more money the stewardship is throwing a roast for local TV host Dave Carlson of Northland Adventures, May 20th.
More than 15 property owners have expressed interest in either selling or donating land to the stewardship in Eau Claire County.
If you'd like to attend the banquet, it's located at the Florian Gardens at 6 p.m. on the 20th.
Tickets are $50/single, $90/couple and $350/table, registration ends May 13th.

St. Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral of the Church of North India - a united church which is part of the Anglican Communion - in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It is the seat of the Diocese of Calcutta, and the incumbent bishop is the Rt. Revd. Ashoke Biswas. The building itself stands on the "island of attractions" in Kolkata - beside the Victoria Memorial, Nandan, Rabindra Sadan theatre complex, and the Birla Planetarium.
The building was initiated by Bishop Daniel Wilson in 1839 and was completed in 1847, in Gothic Revival style with stained glass windows and two frescoes in Florentine Renaissance style. A military engineer, Major William Nairn Forbes, designed the cathedral with the assistance of C. K. Robinson, modelling the tower and spire upon the Norwich Cathedral. The tower was rebuilt along the lines of Bell Harry Tower in Canterbury Cathedral following the 1934 Calcutta earthquake. The Bishop's House across the street is also architecturally notable. St. Paul's was consecrated in 1874.

Why Bollywood Loves Kamal HaasanKamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam controversy united the entire Hindi Film industry, in a manner rarely seen before. Here's looking at what makes this legend so popular in Bollywood.
By Anand Vaishnav, IndiaTimes | February 2, 2013, 6:00 am IST
1 Unique Performer
Be it the silent lover of Sagar, the rebellious boyfriend of Ek Duje Ke Liye or the completely OTT Chachi 420, Kamal's style of acting is quite different from the conventional Bollywood template. So while most heroes from the South have essentially stuck to the action hero space in Bollywood, Kamal has been doing his own thing, and has managed to create a distinct brand for himself.

A miracle pill
Makes "that certain part of a male body"

This commercial the trigger
For 100 million sales
And it never fails
So ol' tom sent for some,
Not that he had any prospect
Of needing such a miracle
Just curious, you might say
And lo and behold,
After the very first day...
My big toe was 18 inches long
No shoe could I get on
So if you believe these claims
Remember what some are
The secret's in the RX27 fiber technology
And they go so far
To back up their claims
With goobley-gook
Buy this spoon, you'll be a cook!
They treat us as morons,
Well, perhaps they're right
But must I endure this drivel
Day and night?
Makes me laugh, that's true
But then again,
You probably want to see
What they can do.
