Researchers find Cumberbatch related to Holmes' creator

http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/re...creator/ar-BBxLy8U?li=AA2qN5v&ocid=spartandhp

NEW YORK (AP) ? Genealogy detectives have discovered that Benedict Cumberbatch, the British actor who portrays Sherlock Holmes in the PBS television series, is distantly related to the author who created the iconic character more than a century ago.
Cumberbatch, 40, and the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who died in 1930, were 16th cousins, twice removed, according to the web site Ancestry.com.

Cumberbatch and "Sherlock" return for three new episodes beginning Sunday night. With the British actor rocketing to movie stardom, it's likely to be his last time in the character.
Ancestry.com wasn't asked to dig into the backgrounds of Cumberbatch and Doyle, but its researchers love both the series and historical puzzles, said spokesman Dallin Hatch. They haven't told the actor of the connection.

Doyle and Cumberbatch's common ancestor was John of Gaunt, the duke of Lancaster and the fourth son of King Edward III of England, who lived in the 14th Century, the website said. John of Gaunt was Doyle's 15th great-grandfather and Cumberbatch's 17th great-grandfather.
"Making family history connections is similar to piecing together a mysterious puzzle, one that the great Sherlock Holmes himself would be intrigued to solve," said Lisa Elzey, family historian at Ancestry.

Holmes and sidekick John Watson, played in the PBS series by Martin Freeman, came to life in a novel written in 1890, and were featured in dozens more detective stories.
 
Murder case dismissed against ex-wrestler 'Superfly' Snuka

http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/mu...wrestler-superfly-snuka/ar-BBxRLS0?li=AA2qN5v

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) A Pennsylvania judge on Tuesday dismissed the murder case against former pro wrestler Jimmy ''Superfly'' Snuka, saying he is not competent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his girlfriend.

The decision by Lehigh County Judge Kelly Banach comes a month after Snuka's lawyer told the court that his 73-year-old client has dementia, is in hospice care in Florida and has six months to live.

The retired WWE star was charged in 2015 with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of Nancy Argentino, whose body was found more than three decades earlier in their Whitehall Township hotel room.
Prosecutors allege she was beaten, while Snuka has maintained she died from a fall. Authorities reopened the investigation after The Morning Call newspaper raised questions about the case in 2013.

Banach had ruled last summer that Snuka was not competent to stand trial after his attorney argued the ex-athlete suffers from dementia, partly due to the head trauma sustained over a long career in the ring. Prosecutors countered that Snuka's brain shows normal signs of aging and suggested he might be feigning symptoms.

At a hearing last month to re-evaluate Snuka's mental fitness, his wife told the judge that the family struggles to keep him from leaving home during bouts of psychosis in which he thinks he's late for a wrestling match. Banach then took time to review Snuka's medical records before ruling.

On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office said prosecutors are evaluating their options. Snuka's lawyer Robert Kirwan could not immediately be reached for comment.

Snuka, a native of Fiji who previously lived in Camden County, New Jersey, was known on the wrestling circuit for diving from the ropes.
 
Star Wars: See How Tarkin Came to Life in Rogue One Special on Nightline

When fans went to see*Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, many were surprised - some downright shocked, some maybe a bit put off - to see Grand Moff Tarkin up on their screen, looking like actor Peter Cushing - now deceased - hadn't aged a day since 1977. That was thanks to the visual effects wizardry of Industrial Light and Magic, actor Guy Henry, and the Cushing family estate.

Now the secrets of that effect will be revealed on a special episode of ABC's*Nightline airing tonight, January 4, 2017. The process is broken down into three primary steps in the teaser video for the episode.

The video starts with original photography of Henry, acting in full costume with some special motion capture headgear on; that's so when they use his voice and cadence with the digital face of Cushing, they match up perfectly. From there, ILM digitally removed the head gear, as well as Henry's hair, creating a digital version of his face. From there it's the morphing into a digital Peter Cushing, who delivers the final performance on screen.

It's a revolutionary technology, and one that had fans split. Some thought it worked perfectly, or at least well enough that they hardly (if at all) noticed there was a digital actor on screen. Some were more sensitive to it and got pulled out of the film. Still, it at least demonstrates where things are*going and ILM's technical prowess continues to improve. When visiting and touring the ILM facilities, they told Comicbook.com about more than one technology that didn't exist, "So we invented it," and quite nonchalantly.

Rogue One Passes $800m At The Worldwide Box-Office

http://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/rogue-one-passes-800m-worldwide-box-office/

It may not be surprising news to hear that a Star Wars movie has made a planet-sized amount of cash, but even so, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has reached an impressive box-office milestone. The first Star Wars anthology film earned $801.9 million in its first 18 days of release.

In the US, Gareth Edwards' spin-off took $440m, while here in the UK the film took ?50.7m ? stealing the crown of 2016's biggest film from Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them in the dying hours of the year.
Though it is unlikely to come close to the $2 billion tally of last year's The Force Awakens', it will easily pass the billion-dollar mark ? an impressive take for a relatively risky movie outside of the main episodic series.

It caps off a record-breaking year for Disney, who became the first studio to bank $7 billion in a single year. Five of the biggest films of 2016 come from the Mouse House, and the top four ? Captain America: Civil War, Finding Dory, Zootopia/Zootropolis, and The Jungle Book ? are all Disney properties. The top three grossed over $1 billion each.

WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka dies

http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mor...ka-dies/ar-AAlTybk?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp

Legendary professional wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, who thrilled fans for decades with his splash from the top rope, died Sunday from stomach cancer. He was 73. *
His daughter, who wrestled under the name Tamina Snuka, posted on Instagram with the hashtag #BestDad to announce Snuka?s death.

Snuka, billed from the Fiji Islands, had three stints with World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996.*

Snuka most famously feuded with Magnificent Muraco. Snuka?s leap off the top of the steel cage in Madison Square Garden on to Muraco in October 1983 is among the most iconic images in pro wrestling history.*

Snuka also is noted for his 1984 feud with Rowdy Roddy Piper, which included Piper making fun of Snuka?s South Pacific heritage by hitting him over the head with a coconut. Snuka would be in the corner of Hulk Hogan and Mister T for the original WrestleMania against Piper and Cowboy Bob Orton.*

Snuka also wrestled in ECW, AWA, TNA, WCW, and other independent organizations and was in the ring as recently as 2014.*

His death comes two weeks after murder charges were dropped because of his health in the death of his girlfriend in 1983. Charges were filed in September 2015 after prosecutors reopened the case following a plea from Nancy Argentino?s family.

Snuka was moved to hospice care in Florida months ago and given six months to live, his lawyer told the court in December in a hearing to re-evaluate whether Snuka was competent to stand trial. At the time, his wife told the judge that the family was struggling to keep him from leaving home during episodes of psychosis because he thinks he is late for a match.*

The judge ruled in June that Snuka was not competent to stand trial because of dementia and other health issues, but the charges remained in place until they were dismissed this month.*

Snuka was charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Argentino?s body was found in a hotel room in Whitehall Township, Pa., and the coroner determined she had a skull fracture. Snuka had said she died in a fall.

After the charges were initially filed, WWE suspended Snuka?s legends contract and removed his page from the Hall of Fame portion of its website.
 
Read the Letter Trump's Immigrant Grandpa Wrote Begging Not to Be Deported

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/...-to-be-deported-vgtrn?utm_source=vicelandfbUS

In November, a German tabloid unearthed a*1905 letter*from Donald Trump's grandfather,*Friedrich Trump, in which he*begged*German authorities not to deport him. The handwritten letter?originally in German?has now been translated and published in the latest issue of Harper's.

The elder Trump first emigrated to the US from the Bavarian town of*Kallstadt in the German Empire*in 1885 at the age of 16, illegally skipping out on mandatory military service (sounds familiar). That move lost him his citizenship, and he later became a US citizen where he made his fortune*running brothels and bars during the Yukon gold rush.

Trump returned to his homeland in the early 1900s, but he was scheduled to be deported because of his draft-dodging history. The newly*translated letter is a plea to*Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, who ruled over the Kallstadt at the time, not to deport Trump back to the US.

"Why should we be deported? This is very, very hard for a family," Trump writes. "What will our fellow citizens think if honest subjects are faced with such a decree?not to mention the great material losses it would incur."

Apparently the letter didn't do enough to convince the prince, since history has it that Trump wound up in the United*States again, churning out a lineage of children*that would someday wind up in the White House.*Would the 2017 political climate be a different place if a well-bearded Bavarian royal did Friedrich Trump a solid in 1905? Let's not dwell on that one too much.

You can go read the whole thing over at*Harper's.

Teenager discovers 7.44 carat diamond in Arkansas state park

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/te...te-park/ar-BBydf4C?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp

A teenager made the discovery of a lifetime when he stumbled across a 7.44 carat diamond at an Arkansas state park.

Officials at Crater of Diamonds State Park at Murfreesboro say the rock found Saturday by 14-year-old Kalel Langford is the seventh largest found since the park was established in 1972. The park hasn't provided an estimate of the diamond's value.

?It was just a few inches from a stream of water, with a bunch of other rocks that were about the same size,? Langford told Fox 16.
He has named it "Superman's Diamond" and plans to keep it as a souvenir of his visit.

Park interpreter Waymon Cox describes the diamond as pinto-bean sized and similar in color to coffee.

?This diamond is a truly extraordinary find,? Cox told Fox 16. ?It was Kalel?s dream to visit the Crater of Diamonds State Park, and now he will always be part of this park?s remarkable history.?
The largest diamond ever discovered in the United States, the 40.23 carat "Uncle Sam," was unearthed on the land in 1924.
