What about re-transmission consent? (Time Warner v. Fox)
What is retransmission consent an why is it importnat to me? The current story about Time Warner and Fox prompts this post. Once upon a time (prior to the cable act of 1992) cable systems (your local provider who brings a cable into your home) could just take the programming of the local stations and put it on the cable system along side of programming that the cable system owned and spent money on or purchased, often from other cable providers.
So a typical channel lineup cost (pre-1992) might look like this: ESPN $2.00, CNN Networks $1.00, Lifetime, E!, A&E, etc. $.25 each, local origination channels $0 but the cable system might spend hundreds of thousands of dollars installing equipment for a local studio, hiring staff to run/coordinate the operation, etc, and then come the local television stations ABC $0, NBC $0, CBS $0, Fox $0. Where was the viewing at that time? Seventy-five percent, perhaps more, of the viewing was on the networks and the cable channels had yet to blossom into what they are now. At that time, a cable system could plan on spending approx 25% of its subscriber fees (what you pay for basic cable) on programming costs, with the most of any single network going to ESPN. So cable systems received value (popular programming) from the networks for which they did not have to pay.
Enter the cable act of 1992 (technically the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992) and Congress changed the landscape by requiring cable systems to pay television networks in the same manner as it paid ESPN and the others. This resulted in reasonably large payments to the networks. However, the balance is a complex one, for example, TBS carries the series "Friends" which is much more valuable since it aired on the networks. So while cable has eroded the audience share of the television networks, it is oftentimes with programming made successful on the networks.
With this audience share erosion of the television networks (and therefore networks are hard-pressed to raise advertising rates), there seems to be a karmic-like balance with the cable systems having to pay the networks for the programming that helps people to decide to subscribe to cable. The network shows are still popular and bring in audience. For example, at stake in the Time Warner vs. Fox case was whether Time Warner subscribers would be able to receive shows such as "American Idol" and "The Simpsons."
Does the cost of paying the networks raise the cost of a cable bill? Perhaps. But there are a lot of other things in your cable bill that are management decisions like how fast they upgrade their systems for features you and I are not subscribing to, and what profit they will make and even the amount of their executive compensation. Since the busines particulars are beyond our control, I will not go into detail on them. the central question is whether content creators are deserving of getting paid. Content is expensive to produce, so my answer is "yes, certainly in this case."
Does this mean I might lose access to my favorite programming? Probably not in the long run. It is in the interest of both parties (the network and the cable system) to reach an agreement. The cable system wants the programming and the programmer/network can't survive without enough people seeing its programming. So in the event that programming is pulled from a cable system (and it has happened in the past), it will probably be back in the near future. The pulling of programming means that the proper marketplace value of the programming and the distribution channel did not reach equalibrium, or at least close enough that the two sides could sign a contract.
This is a complex topic and causes the eyes of law students all over the country to glaze over. But is is important. Hundreds of millions of dollars change hands each contract cycle on retransmission consent and lots of local consumers are played off by both sides during negotiations. the cable systems try to gain consumer sympathy by saying bills are going up and the networks try to gain consumer attention by telling them that the cabe system is te reason they are going to lose their favorite programming.

WOMEN MAYORS OF THE OKANOGAN
MAKING HISTORY IN 2020
FIVE women are currently serving as mayors in Okanogan County: Winthrop, Twisp, Omak, Pateros and Tonasket. We invite you to gather together for a friendly, virtual conversation about women, civic leadership, and voter participation. A conversation not about politics or campaigns, but about women leading in our communities by serving as mayors.

Pandemics. Wildfires. Floods. Economic Downturns. Voters' Drives. Public Libraries. Garbage Pick-up. Schools. Of course we know Okanogan County women have long faced local challenges head on, and have been central to organizing solutions and to governing in our local communities! But when Shafer Museum researchers searched the archives of the Okanogan County Historical Society and its affiliated museums, little was found to show how Okanogan women were affected by the expansion of voting rights or Washington's less restrictive laws on women's political participation 100 years ago. So today, as we commemorate the Centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote in federal elections, the Shafer Museum invites everyone to time to stop, reflect, and record this unique moment in the history of women's political leadership.

Beards, Novembeard, and Kurt Russell as Santa Claus
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Movies — Leave a comment
November of course means Novembeard–where participants grow beards to raise awareness of men's health issues. Or, just because beards are cool and it's become an annual tradition. So who better to celebrate than the actor who has made a beard work for him throughout his career? That would be Kurt Russell. As Snake Plisskin in Escape from New York. As MacReady in The Thing. As Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China (stubble counts). (Russell only had a moustache in Tombstone so we'll skip that one). As the sheriff in Bone Tomahawk. As John Ruth in The Hateful Eight. As Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. Even his son Wyatt knows how to sport a cool beard–He wore won this year as the star of Lodge 49. So what's left for the guy with the cool beard to take on next? How about playing the guy with the best beard of all time? That's Santa Claus, of course.
The best part? In this trailer for Netflix's new The Christmas Chronicles, Russell isn't playing just another "Bad Santa" role. Sure, it looks like a traditional family Christmas show, but Russell revealing how cool Santa is (and always has been) and lines that sound like they were written for Jack Burton? That's an inspired choice.
He knows when you've been bad or good, so you'd better clean up your act right now.
The movie stars Benji star Darby Camp and The Babysitter's Judah Lewis as kids who want to film Santa in action. Look for co-stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Father of the Bride, Darrow & Darrow) as their mom, plus Lamorne Morris (New Girl, The Guild) and Martin Roach (Kick-Ass 2, The Shape of Water).
Check out this new trailer for The Christmas Chronicles:

The Battered Bastards of Baseball–Kurt Russell family dives into glorious snippet of baseball history
Filed under: Backstage Pass, Con Culture, Movies, Retro Fix — Leave a comment
Like most things about baseball, The Battered Bastards of Baseball reflects as much about an era of American culture, economics, and politics as it tells a wonderfully engrossing story about a brief history of the sport. Independent baseball–privately-owned teams unaffiliated with the Major League Baseball conglomerate–was a thing of the past when Portland, Oregon's minor league baseball team the Portland Beavers left town. It was the early 1970s and Portlanders weren't spending their time or money on minor league games. Then enters the well-known TV actor Bing Russell, stepping off his last of 14 seasons on Bonanza where he played a deputy sheriff. Russell appeared in everything back then, from Westerns from Wagon Train to Rawhide, and modern fare like The Munsters, The Rockford Files, and The Twilight Zone. There begins an underdog story, a mix of The Bad News Bears, Necessary Roughness, and Moneyball.
If you're lucky enough to trip into the Netflix documentary The Battered Bastards of Baseball, you'll wonder where this story is headed. It's a brief history of 1970s Portland and national baseball, and then actor/movie star Kurt Russell and his mother Louise Russell begin discussing his father in a typical documentary format. It turns out father Bing had a life-long affinity for the game, even being part of a significant piece of baseball history as mascot for the New York Yankees, befriending Joe DiMaggio, Lefty Gomez, and Lou Gehrig, who gave Bing the bat he used in his last game before retiring. That love for the game apparently never left Bing, who concocted an idea to bring baseball right back to Portland by taking the entrepreneurial route–forming a pure upstart baseball team to play minor league ball. Resurrecting the independent team model he would hold an open tryout for the new Portland Mavericks–if you build it they will come. And they did. Players rejected from the big leagues, some retired, many with paunches, and pre-movie star Kurt on the team, too, some players older than most teams would favor, and a bunch of hairy-faced guys decades before it became the "in" thing–all would come together to form a motley band of brothers that would earn a crack at the pennant. With a 30-man roster, and Bing's personal brand of fun, fans packed the stadium again, the team setting a record for the highest attendance in minor league history, blazing the trail in other ways, naming the first woman general manager in baseball, Lanny Moss. But like all good things it seems, a villain would enter the picture to wreck it all.
The real deal: Kurt Russell playing in the Minor Leagues with the Portland Mavericks.
With that nostalgic, cheery vibe of Ivan Reitman's 1970s movie Meatballs or a dialed-back Slap Shot, Bing's grandsons Chapman Way and Maclain Way splice together both baseball, Hollywood, and Portland nostalgia to assemble a completely engaging, crowd-pleasing story of underdogs and misfits and the pied piper who led them. If you remember that every baseball stadium in 1970s America–and every grade school–had kids chomping on Big League Chew–you'll learn that connection to the Mavericks, too.

Johnson and Statham merge action and humor in new trailer for Hobbs & Shaw
Filed under: Movies — Leave a comment
It emerges from the nearly 20-year franchise about cars and action that began in 2001 with The Fast and the Furious. The ninth movie in the Fast & Furious franchise is on its way to theaters this summer, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and Universal Pictures has released its second trailer–check it out below. The five leads have ample action movie street cred, beginning with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, not only from their previous roles in the franchise. In addition to his Time Magazine cover appearance as one of the most influential people of today, Johnson has busted heads in films including Walking Tall, The Mummy series, Get Smart, The Other Guys, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Central Intelligence and the new Jumanji series, and, of course, there's his wrestling days (and he wrestled Seven of Nine in a memorable Star Trek Voyager episode). He's already played Hercules, but coming soon look for him as Black Adam, Doc Savage, and he's said to be in talks to play Jack Burton in a Big Trouble in Little China remake. Statham's own on-screen fight record goes back to three action movie series: The Transporter, The Expendables, and The Mechanic, plus The Italian Job, The Bank Job, and a bunch more, from Parker to last year's The Meg.
Although she hails from Plaza Sésamo, Eiza González earned her action film cred in Baby Driver, Alita: Battle Angel, and the From Dusk Till Dawn TV series. Vanessa Kirby climbed the big peak in Everest and had her breakout performance just last year in Mission Impossible: Fallout. As the film's villain, you couldn't ask for a better tough guy than Idris Elba, playing Heimdall in the Marvel movies, plus key roles in Star Trek Beyond, Prometheus, 28 Weeks Later, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Pacific Rim, and The Dark Tower). And that's Helen Mirren in the trailer, too, who also has a slate of badass roles in action films including the RED series, The Fate of the Furious, years of Prime Suspect, and the coming Luc Besson action movie Anna.
The Fast & Furious series has seen plenty of break-out performances along the way, including the span of the career of Paul Walker, and memorable roles for Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ted Levine, Ludacris, Lucas Black, Sung Kang, pre-Wonder Woman Gal Gadot in four of her first films, John Ortiz, Luke Evans, and Kurt Russell. Former Brad Pitt and Jean-Claude Van Damme stunt double-turned-director David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2) is directing this entry, bringing even more action movie experience to the film.
Check out the second trailer for A Ninth of Furious, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw:

Hobbs & Shaw–First look at new Fast & Furious spin-off, running down the rest
It's a nearly 20-year franchise, all about cars and action in the world of illegal street racing, and it's fun moviegoing from the first movie, 2001's The Fast and the Furious, to the latest, 2017's The Fate of the Furious. The ninth movie in the Fast & Furious franchise is on its way to theaters this summer, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and Universal Pictures released its first trailer today. The latest is a spinoff focusing on two of the newest characters joining the series, with Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs, a Diplomatic Security Service agent who began pursuing ex-con Dominic Toretto, played by series star Vin Diesel, his close circle of friends, and their turbo-charged, four-wheeled co-stars beginning with 2011's Fast Five. Along the way Hobbs adjusts his loyalties, and in 2015's Furious 7, Hobbs pursues Deckard Shaw (played by Jason Statham), on a mission of vengeance for Toretto murdering his brother. For the 2019 sequel, Hobbs and Shaw are joined in an unlikely alliance, as it's Shaw's turn to switch loyalties and he redeems himself, at least partially, in The Fate of the Furious. For the first look at what's happening next, check out the trailer for Hobbs & Shaw below.
Former Brad Pitt and Jean-Claude Van Damme stunt double-turned-director David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2) is directing this entry, which should mean fans are in store for a new level of action within the series. Idris Elba (Thor: Ragnarok, Star Trek Beyond, Prometheus) plays the show's villain and superhuman, Brixton. Eiza González (Baby Driver) and Vanessa Kirby (Mission Impossible: Fallout) co-star.
If you decide to jump in and get caught up on the previous eight films in the series (and why wouldn't you?) you need to know that you'll find some bouncing around of characters throughout the series. It's Universal's biggest franchise of all time and currently the eighth-highest-grossing film series of all time, so it's worth diving into. Take it from someone who watched the series in the order in which the films were released, you're better off watching the series with one movie pulled out and added back in later. And that film is 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. As the third film in the series, Tokyo Drift came as a bit of a surprise, a detour from the regular cast to pull in a new character (and the result of actor and studio conflicts), but once you climb onboard it's another fun ride on par with the rest of the series. But there's a twist at the end of Tokyo Drift that doesn't get explained until the end of Fast & Furious 6. So skip the third film and view it sixth. Got it?
First, check out the first trailer for Furious's ninth, Hobbs & Shaw:

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood–Tarantino's next movie has actors playing actors, plus famous actors' kids
Filed under: Movies, Retro Fix — Leave a comment
Quentin Tarantino's next film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has so many reasons to give it your attention, where do we begin? As heavily advertised, the "retired director" is back as writer and director on his ninth film, and every one of his films gains critical and popular acclaim–from Reservoir Dogs to The Hateful Eight, they're all notable for Tarantino's unique brash and violent style. Emphasize that style element because he tends to hit the right mark when searching out throwback vibes for his fans, whether via Pam Grier and Samuel L. Jackson in the 1970s in Jackie Brown or reaching back through time with 1950s nostalgia with John Travolta and Uma Thurman in a retro diner in Pulp Fiction. So where will Tarantino turn for a film set in 1969? Something violent in an era of unique style. So the "Manson family" murders, of course.
The biggest risk for Tarantino (beyond being seen as exploiting a murder still in the national consciousness 50 years later) is casting some major actors, and some not-so-major actors, as actors from the past. The easier question to answer may be "Who isn't in this movie?" In the leading role is Leonardo DiCaprio as a fictional character based on Burt Reynolds. Brad Pitt co-stars as a character based on Reynolds' long-time stuntman, Hal Needham. Margot Robbie plays actress and Manson family victim Sharon Tate, who was married to Roman Polanski and pregnant at the time of her murder. Dakota Fanning plays Squeaky Fromme, Bruce Dern plays the rancher that allowed the Mansons to reside on his land where they are believed to have planned the murders, and Lena Dunham plays another Manson family member. Al Pacino plays a Hollywood agent, and from the Tarantino acting troupe, look for bit appearances by regulars Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, and Michael Madsen. As a sad footnote, this will be the last film appearance of Luke Perry, who portrays real-life TV Western star Wayne Maunder, who died just this past November.
But the real challenge is casting Steve McQueen, Bruce Lee, Connie Stevens, and Mama Cass Elliot in the film–highly-recognizable icons. Those roles go to Homeland and Life's Damian Lewis as McQueen, Empire and Inhumans' Mike Moh as Lee, Dreama Walker (Gran Torino) as Stevens, and Rachel Redleaf as Cass. We only get a brief look at Redleaf and longer view of Moh as Lee (with a decent vocal impersonation) in the first trailer for the film–Lee had been working on a film with Sharon Tate. Tarantino also invited in a league of children of well-known actors for his film, like Andie MacDowell's daughter Margaret Qualley (IO), Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Rumer Willis (Hawaii Five-O), Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke's daughter Maya Hawke (Stranger Things), Kevin Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith (Supergirl), Clifton Collins, Jr. (Star Trek 2009) grandson of Western actor Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez, and one more relative, Tarantino's wife, Daniella Pick (Pick Up, Exit).
Along with real-world characters, Tarantino pulled in some familiar actors from the late 1960s and 1970s, including Nicholas Hammond, known for role as Peter Parker in TV's The Amazing Spider-Man, a regular face from the 1970s and 1980s: Martin Kove (The Karate Kid), and Brenda Vaccaro (Airport '77, Capricorn One). And even frequent TV guest star Spencer Garrett is a ringer for any number of Disney film stars from the 1960s (and he's the son of actress Kathleen Nolan (Magnum, p.i., The Incredible Hulk)). There are many more familiar actors in this one, including James Marsden (X-Men), Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild), Lorenza Izzo (The House With a Clock in Its Walls), Sydney Sweeney (The Handmaid's Tale), and Buffy the Vampire Slayer favorite Danny Strong. (With so many extras listed as Playboy Bunnies, it's probably fair to expect a cameo from someone playing Hugh Hefner, too).

Q: Active Directory LDAP query result always missing attributes that are known to exist This is a problem Im currently stumped on, a user profile has an attribute 'EmployeeID' that appears when viewing that user with AD Explorer, so data exists, eg value of 12345.  Now when I pull that user profile via LDAP, using a tool like Apache Studio, most attributes are returned, but not all, eg EmployeeID.  I've experienced the same thing in other LDAP client apps.  So the problem appears specific to an LDAP client versus 'API' calls.
The same credentials were used in all cases, so its not a permissions issue...
Has anyone seen this before or have a clue as to how to enable access to that attribute via LDAP?

A: I encountered a similar problem - my LDAP query was not returning all of the properties I was expecting to see.  Properites were missing which would show up in AD Explorer.  My problem was that I was mistakenly binding to the global catalog (ie. using the GC: moniker instead of LDAP:, in my query).  GC queries are intended to be fast, so the global catalog only includes a partial set of properties for AD objects.  Switching to the LDAP: moniker instead of GC: resolved my issue, returning the properties that had previously been missing.
For more information:
Binding to the Global Catalog
Binding to Active Directory Domain Services

A: If you look in MMC, Active Directory Users and Computers, from 2008 server, then there is an Advanced box in one of the menus.  Once you enable that, you get an extra tab on each user, where you can see all the attributes in the list, so make sure
Then via ADSI Edit MMC you can look at the schema definition and see what the ldap name is.  It is possible that the LDAP name is not quite what you would expect.

After publicized accounts from dozens of tourists that the popular travel website TripAdvisor had deleted postings describing their harrowing experiences, nominees for the Federal Trade Commission vowed to investigate the company if they are confirmed in the coming weeks.
Questioned this week by members of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, including U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), all four nominees — Republican and Democrat —- said if confirmed they would commit to looking into the impact that the conduct of TripAdvisor and other travel rating websites have on the traveling public.
Baldwin's questions followed an investigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that revealed how TripAdvisor had deleted reviews from travelers reporting alcohol-related blackouts, rapes, injuries and deaths while vacationing at resorts in Mexico.
"A number of my constituents and many other Americans have fallen prey to a tainted alcohol problem in Mexico," Baldwin said at the hearing. "Many victims have turned to travel rating websites such as TripAdvisor to report their experiences and to warn others who might be traveling to those areas and resorts.
"Unfortunately, it has been reported that TripAdvisor has censored or taken down posts that detail these adverse experiences at these type of Mexican resorts. These actions are particularly concerning because TripAdvisor raises revenue through click-based advertising and hotel transactions, and so they might thus have an incentive to maximize positive reviews and minimize negative reports."
Baldwin sent a letter to the FTC in November urging the agency to look into the business practices of TripAdvisor and similar travel websites. In December, the agency said in a letter to Baldwin it had launched an initial inquiry.
The Federal Trade Commission is an independent agency of the U.S. government and is tasked with enforcing the nation's antitrust laws and promoting consumer protection. The five commissioners are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. No more than three can be from the same political party.
Nominee Rohit Chopra, a Democrat, said an investigation is warranted and cited the mortgage crisis as a parallel where there was a "clear mismatch in incentives" between consumers and an intermediary.
"You're right to raise it," as an issue, he told Baldwin.
Noah Phillips, a Republican nominee, said he, too, supports looking into the issue.
"It's scary enough to deal with those issues in country," he said. "I can't imagine how your constituents must have felt in a foreign country dealing with those sorts of things."
The other two nominees, Joseph Simons and Christine Wilson, both Republicans, simply answered, "Yes," when asked whether they would commit to looking into the websites' conduct.

Baldwin said the issue is particularly important since travelers are not getting the proper warnings from the U.S. State Department. The department had not been keeping data on injuries to U.S. citizens in Mexico prior to the Journal Sentinel's investigation and wasn't communicating, or even tracking, problems at resorts.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pressed the Inspector General's Office to investigate how the Department of State has been responding to U.S. citizens who are victims of crime in Mexico. That investigation is underway, sources have told the Journal Sentinel.
In addition to uncovering how TripAdvisor had deleted negative posts, deeming them hearsay, "off-topic" or in violation of "family friendly" guidelines, the Journal Sentinel investigation found the website's policies and practices keep consumers in the dark in a multitude of ways.
There's no way to know how many negative reviews are withheld by TripAdvisor; how many true, troubling experiences never get told.
And it's difficult for site users to see that much of what appears on their screens has been specifically selected and crafted to encourage them to spend. Secret algorithms determine which hotels and resorts appear when consumers search. Some hotels pay TripAdvisor when travelers click on their links; some pay commissions when tourists book or travel.
An untold number of TripAdvisor users have been granted special privileges, including the ability to delete forum posts. But the company won't disclose how those users are selected.
Reporter Raquel Rutledge talks about her recent story about the travel site TripAdvisor removing warnings about rapes and injuries at Mexico resorts.
But last week, several of the warning badges tied to resorts that had incidents had been removed.
A TripAdvisor spokesman said the timeline for removing the warnings is determined on a case-by-case basis, with them generally posted for about three months before they are re-evaluated.
"TripAdvisor's media notifications are intended to make travelers aware of recent news reports regarding health and safety issues potentially impacting a traveler's experience with that property when reviews on TripAdvisor about these issues are not readily available," said spokesman Brian Hoyt.
The cautionary badge attached to Iberostar, the resort complex where 20-year-old Abbey Conner of Wisconsin drowned under suspicious circumstances while on a family vacation and where Kristie Love of Texas was sexually assaulted by a man in a security guard uniform, was removed last week.
"I am so angry," Love told the Journal Sentinel Wednesday. "They are looking for excuses not to badge. They are so not on the consumer's side."
Kristie Love fought to warn travelers about how she was raped at an Iberostar resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico, in 2010. The Dallas woman posted her story on TripAdvisor, which refused to publish it. Until now. Mike De Sisti

Q: Android ListView getting changed when resumed I'm using this in onCreate.
    /************* Create Custom Adapter on Thread ************/

    adapter=new CustomAdapter(CustomListView, CustomListViewValuesArr,res);
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            list.setAdapter(adapter);
        }

This is my Asynctask class,
class Asyntax extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String>
{
    LoadingDialog lDialog=new LoadingDialog(MainActivity.this);
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        lDialog.show();

    }
    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        try {
            setListData();
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        return null;
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String st) {
        super.onPostExecute(st);
        lDialog.dismiss();
        list.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

        AdListener googleAdListener = new AdListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAdLoaded() {
                super.onAdLoaded();
                try {
                    addMob.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        };
        mAdView.setAdListener(googleAdListener);
    }
}

The method setListData takes value from json each time the activity is called. If I change the json data(by performing task in another activities, trying to make a game) and hit home button to pause it, when I resume the screen only one row is shown in the list(the one having data changed). Please tell me where might have been I wrong?

A: try to use onStop() and onResume() methods of Activty class.
In onStop() you can save the adapter's data and in onResume() you can set the data.
