Zurich-based Credit Suisse has suffered an additional $2.85 billion in writedowns due to 'mismarkings and pricing errors' in structured credit products exposed to US subprime mortgages.In a statement released on February 19, the bank said the discrepancies, made by a group of its investment bank traders, were uncovered as a result of ongoing control processes. This led to a review of some of its assets, resulting in the latest writedown. The disclosure was made in connection with the closing of $2 billion worth of 5.75% subordinated notes due 2018, on February 19.
These revelations come just days after the bank announced a less than expected Sfr1.3 billion writedown on leveraged finance and structured debt and mortgage investments in the fourth quarter of 2007, signalling that it had managed to ride the wave of the credit crisis better than most of its competitors. The latest writedowns will cut the 2008 first-quarter profits by about $1 billion. The bank is still assessing the impact of these reductions on the 2007 results.
Banks continue to lose billions of dollars due to writedowns on assets exposed to US subprime debt. Losses of more than $145 billion have so far been reported, with estimates running as high as $400 billion.
The Financial Stability Forum (FSF), a committee of international bank regulators and finance ministries, recently called for the strengthening of the financial sector's risk management practices. In interim recommendations to the G-7, released on February 5, "to rebuild confidence in the creditworthiness and robustness of financial institutions", the FSF said "this involves not only assessing firms' risk management capacity but also the extent to which firms integrate their risk assessments into their overall decision making processes and controls".
Credit Suisse has since suspended the traders involved in the mispricing, pending the review.

Once in a While is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in June 1988 by Columbia Records.[3] Although the album did not make it onto Billboard magazine's Top Pop Albums chart, the song "I'm on the Outside Looking In" did reach number 27 during its 12 weeks on the magazine's list of the 40 Hot Adult Contemporary songs of the week in the US that began in the issue dated July 2 of that year.[4]
The album received a positive review from Allmusic, where Bil Carpenter praised the "outstanding street corner-style singing" on the title track and "I'm on the Outside Looking In" and also had kind words for "From a Whisper to a Scream" and "Two Strong Hearts".[2]
Track listing[edit]

- "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" (Todd Rundgren) – 4:01
- "Two Strong Hearts" performed with Dionne Warwick (Andy Hill, Bruce Woolley) – 4:00
- "Once in a While" (Michael Edwards, Bud Green) – 3:28

Song information[edit]
Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra spent seven weeks at number one in Billboard magazine in 1937 with "Once in a While",[5] which is the oldest of the songs Mathis covers this time around. "I'm on the Outside Looking In" by Little Anthony and the Imperials reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100[6] and number eight on the magazine's Hot R&B singles chart in 1964.[7] And the recording of "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)" by The Four Tops earned Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America and peaked at number two R&B,[8] number four pop,[9] and number 14 on the magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the US in 1973.[10]
Todd Rundgren's "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" first appeared on his 1972 album Something/Anything?,[11] and "Just Like You" was recorded by Dennis Edwards for his 1984 LP Don't Look Any Further.[12] Smokey Robinson included "Love Brought Us Here Tonight" on his 1987 album One Heartbeat,[13] and Lauren Wood's original recording of "Fallen" appeared on her 1981 release Cat Trick[14] but received its widest exposure as one of the songs heard in the 1990 film Pretty Woman[15] and on its soundtrack album,[16] which was released two years after this album and sold 3 million copies.[17] The duet on this album, "Two Strong Hearts", was also released as a solo outing in 1988 by John Farnham on his Age of Reason album;[18] his version got as high as number 38 on Billboard magazine's Adult Contemporary chart[19] and number five in Australia.[20]

Summary: In the venerable tradition of caregivers writing about the healing arts-a tradition peopled by the likes of Anton Chekhov, Walt Whitman, William Carlos Williams, Walker Percy, and Denise Levertov-Cortney Davis brings to poetry the experience, insight, and compassion of a nurse practitioner who daily confronts the unexpected frailties, passions, and power of the flesh. Taking the body as her text, Davis crafts her poetry from the pains of labor and the joys of birth, the depredations of disease and the sustaining hope of recovery. She trains her clear, unflinching gaze on the unfolding scene-a woman shipwrecked with a stranger; an adult reinventing childhood; an ill woman rediscovering pleasure in her body; a nurse realizing, in one harrowing instant, that she is as vulnerable as her patients-unerringly finding the particular image, the human detail, that connects reader, writer, and subject with the world. Primal, compelling, intelligent, these poems show us how to see as clearly as the poet does, with empathy and grace. ...show more

The Big One

|The Big One
Jurassic Park
Raptor Leader
- "Clever girl..."
- —Robert Muldoon's final words in the film(src)
The Big One (nicknamed by Robert Muldoon) was the alpha-female of the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park, as well as the main antagonist of the movie.
In the beginning, eight Raptors were bred on Isla Sorna. A few months after hatching, they were transported to Isla Nublar. When the Big One was being transferred to the holding pen, she lashed out inside the cage, sending it backwards and causing Jophery, the gatekeeper, to fall over. Despite the best efforts of Robert Muldoon and the security team, the Raptor was able to pull the gatekeeper into the cage and kill him.
Jophery's demise raised a number of safety issues, as well as a twenty-million dollar lawsuit against InGen. In order to calm his investors, John Hammond invited Ian Malcolm, Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant to come down to the park for the weekend, hoping they would approve of the park's security measures.
Rise to Leadership
The Big One assumed her dominance after killing five of the other seven Raptors, commanding her two remaining subordinates to attack the security fencing. Muldoon claimed that in comparison to the other members of her brethren, the Big One had an extremely high extent of problem-solving intelligence, remembering the location of certain weak spots in the fencing and where feeders would come to feed the animals. As a result, an automated feeding system had to be installed on the holding pen.
When the power was cut by Dennis Nedry during the Isla Nublar Incident, Nedry's computer confirmed that the Raptor pen was still active, as Nedry knew full well how dangerous the Raptors were.
Later, when the staff decided to reboot the power to purge the computer system of Nedry's virus, it inadvertently shut down the fences in the Raptor's holding pen as well. Unknown to the survivors, the three Raptors broke out of confinement. The Big One sent one of her subordinates to find and kill John Arnold when he went to Maintenance Shed alone to reactivate the power grid.
When Arnold failed, Sattler and Muldoon tried to complete the task. With the aide of her other subordinate, the Big One lured Robert Muldoon into an ambush, and when he least expected it, she jumped out and killed him, just after saying his very famous last words.
Hunting the Kids
The Big One and her subordinate then made their way to the Visitor Center, where they stalked Lex and Tim. The Big One displayed her intelligence here by successfully opening the door to the kitchen, where the two children had taken refuge. The Big One was knocked unconscious by Lex, who tricked her into running into a metal cupboard door. The subordinate was locked in the kitchen freezer, but the Big One quickly regained consciousness and followed Lex, Tim, Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler to the control room.
The Big One attempted to enter the room, but Lex activated the door locks, forcing the alpha-female to break in through a window. When she busted through, she was shot at by Alan Grant with a SPAS-12 shotgun twice before it jammed. Luckily, the survivors escaped through the air vents.
Meanwhile, the Raptor that killed Arnold had managed to free itself after Sattler shut it in the maintenance shed, due to their knowledge of how to open doors.
Final Stand and Death
The Big One continued to chase the survivors down to the main lobby. There, she met her remaining subordinate and the two cornered their prey. The subordinate was just about to attack when Rexy suddenly appeared and killed her with a bite from its massive jaws. The Big One pounced on the T. rex to avenge her subordinate's, but was swiftly killed as well when she slipped into the jaws of the T.rex and was tossed into a decorative model skeleton. In the confusion, the survivors escaped the island.
Rexy received a number of deep flesh wounds from the attack, which healed into scars and can be seen clearly in Jurassic World.
Known Kills
- 5 Velociraptors (pre-film)
- Jophery
- 1 cow
- Robert Muldoon
In Jurassic Park III, the Big One's legacy is continued through Alan Grant's fascination with Raptor intelligence. He theorized that they were smarter than modern mammals, such as whales and primates.
Her severed foot is seen in Jurassic Park: The Game, laying in a pool of blood in the lobby of the Visitor Center. It was probably regurgitated by the Tyrannosaurus.
In Jurassic World, the Indominus rex attributes a similar behavior as the Big One did; having a great deal of problem-solving intelligence, killing mainly for sport and going as far as to kill a member of her own kind. Able to communicate with the park's Velociraptors, due to the trace amounts of Raptor DNA in her genetic makeup, she briefly assumed leadership over Blue, Delta, Charlie and Echo before their loyalty to Owen Grady was restored. Also, mirroring the Big One's demise, the Indominus was overpowered by Rexy (with some help from Blue) and killed by a much-larger predator - the Mosasaurus.
Personality & Traits
Despite being an animal, the Big One showed a number of unique traits in her behavior that boarder on a primitive personality. She appeared to be sociopathic, even by animal standard. This is evident by the fact that she killed five of her own kind simply to assume dominance, or perhaps to preserve her own survival. The two Raptors she kept alive were most likely the weakest members of the pack, and therefore no real threat to her or her authority.
She seemed to harbor a significant hatred towards humans, seeing them as a threat to her existence and therefore engaging them with extreme hostility. She may have perceived Robert Muldoon as her archenemy, or more accurately as the biggest threat to her existence, as she singled him out during her paddock transfer. It is possible that her efforts were more to exterminate humans rather than hunt them, as she killed Muldoon and then persisted in chasing after the other humans, despite the obstacles set to deter her.
While a seemingly ruthless leader, the Big One did genuinely seem to care about her pack mates. This behavior is likely a strong pack mentality she shared with her fellow kind. The Big One also appeared to be the smartest member of her pack, as she ordered her spared subordinates to attack the electrical fences.
Movie Quotes
- "Don't let her get out! Work her back! Shoot her! Shoot her!" - Muldoon
- "They should all be destroyed." - Muldoon
- "They show extraordinary intelligence, even problem-solving intelligence. Especially the big one. We bred eight originally, but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one... when she looks at you, you can see she's working things out." - Muldoon
- "Clever girl..." - Muldoon
- "Timmy, what is it?"' - Lex Murphy
"It's a Velociraptor." - Tim Murphy
"It's inside..." - Lex Murphy
- "It's gonna come through the glass!" - Ellie Sattler
- The Big One is the first dinosaur to appear in the movie franchise.
- She is the first dinosaur in the movie franchise to kill a human.
- She is probably the most famous and genuinely frightening villain in the Jurassic Park franchise.
- In one particular scene from the film, the Big One is shown to be violent and hostile towards her subordinates. When she summons one of her pack mates to the kitchen where Lex and Tim Murphy have taken refuge, the Big One snaps and startles the other Raptor when it invades her personal space. This behavior was also seen in The Lost World, after Sarah Harding caused a female Raptor to fall on top of a male, causing both animals to attack each other.
- However, in saying that, the Big One's final act - pouncing on the T. rex to avenge her subordinate's death - strongly implies that there is a low level of emotional sentience in Velociraptors. She was willing to take on a creature more than five times her size to avenge her pack mate, even though it cost her own life.
- Dr. Henry Wu used genetic information from other animals (such as frogs) to form complete DNA structures in minimal time. In Africa, Common Reed Frogs have the ability to change their sex organs from male to female in a single-sex environment. Therefore, it is possible that the Big One and her subordinates were able to become male spontaneously.
- However, this is debatable since they never changed appearance. In the second film, it is revealed that male Raptors look different from the females, most notably their color: having skin more orange than brown and with tiger-like stripes.
- It is more likely that the Big One and her pack mates were capable of laying eggs without male fertilization, allowing them to produce male offspring to stabilize their population, as well as expand the genetic variation. This is a tactic evolved by Komodo Dragons for the same reason of being indigenous to a small, isolated environment, such as an island. With this information, it is safe to assume that the Raptor populations were able to procreate if male offspring were produced.
- This unique biological ability, known as parthenogenesis, is most likely a mutated ability, granted to the Big One and her fellow Raptors by their amphibian DNA, which caused a sporadic mutation in their biology.
- The Big One appears to kill only for fun, evident by the fact that she kills Robert Muldoon and soon after hunts the rest of the humans. If she had killed and eaten Muldoon, who was nearly as big as she was, then she would have been full and wouldn't have needed to hunt the other humans.
- After the Big One died, the Scarred Raptor Leader took her place as the alpha-female, leading a new pack of Raptors that were brought over from Isla Sorna. While she has a similar personality, she does appear to quarrel less with her subordinates.
- If the Big One hadn't been killed by the Tyrannosaurus at end of the movie, she probably would have challenged the Scarred Raptor Leader for dominance over the new pack.
- The Big One and Dennis Nedry both appear in Jurassic Park: The Game posthumously (after death): Nedry as a partially-devoured corpse and the Big One as a severed foot.
- Dr. Laura Sorkin makes reference to the Big One's escape attempt in her journal: I am getting so sick of Hammond! I can't believe he ordered ANOTHER group of Raptors to this island from Site B after what happened last time!
- She may have been the playable Raptor in Jurassic Park (SEGA Genesis Game) and Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition.
- It is possible that the cloning process caused some kind of psychological defect in the Big One, hardwiring her brain for aggression rather than average Velociraptor behavior. This would explain her tenacity and general non-provoked aggression towards humans and even her own kind.

Jimmy, half the NBA is smoking weed. Coach Phil Jackson even called out the league saying weed should not be on their list of banned substances. Those players gotta run like mad week in and week out but evidently the weed hasn't slowed them down. I'm not saying it's good for athletes, I'm saying a fit athlete who trains hard doesn't suffer as much as couch potatoes. That said, it's sure as hell not a PED.Posted September 26, 2013 2:38 pm
Smoking pot reeks havoc on your cardio, pro athletes that are not just phoning it in as JR is, should vaporize or injest it a way that is not smoking. but yeah cigarettes are even worse… I bet Chavez is a legal patient in Cali, I think that is still the requirement, if a boxer couldn't get it for chronic pain than I surely don't deserve mine! Good for him and arum for supporting it, but do it responsibly…. Smoking is OUT!Posted September 26, 2013 2:29 pm

"Smokin weed for an top level boxer is completely unacceptable. It does as much damage as smoking cigarettes." – Actually weed does less damage than cigarettes since there are fewer carcinogens and no long term health side effects unless it's smoked. Since it's legal in CA what Jr should do is take the post-fight piss test, then attend the press conference smoking a joint.Posted September 26, 2013 1:28 pm

Jimmy – as long as you understand that Cheato Jr., his people and promoters are not looking for any kind of Greatness and that all they want is what Canelo and his people got.. a Huge Life Changing Payday for all of them.. then it'll all make sense to you.. why no one gives a sht what this moron does in or out of the ring, why everything he's done has been overlooked and excused.. It's all about that Payday.. nothing else matters..Posted September 26, 2013 1:21 pm
Smokin weed for an top level boxer is completely unacceptable. It does as much damage as smoking cigarettes. When your 26 sure you can still get by but….. Now if these guys and Arum were to say "He was vaporizing some weed, or he eats a pot brownie here and there" it would be a lot different. To admit he's actually smoking weed is saying he doesn't give a fly in' f@&$. It's not 1969 boys, we got amazing technology now.

Chavez Sr. was the original Glove loader during his Championship years when he was a Coke Addicted Alcoholic in bed with Mexicos Criminal element..

too much TMZ-caliber fight(?) anlaysis going on here. guys like Gomez, Rosario, and Camacho were coke-freaks and worse DURING their respective primes(?!). they and their desperate cheerleaders would even cite excessive "partying" as an excuse for getting their butts thoroughly whipped by Bigger, Badder, Mexicans. meanwhile, Jr. has only lost one fight to what was the best 160lbr out there. previously he Socked his way to the title-bout and despite boiling down to an artificially low weight and being dominated for 10 rounds Jr. didn't take a knee (e.g. Cotto) or turn his back (e.g., Rosario). instead he surged forward to drop Martinez twice in the final round (that was no shove or push, Martinez was going DOWN a second time). once again, chalkboard analyses is for fantasy Boxing. REAL Boxing is dominated by the fiercer, tougher, and grittier Fighters who frequently (if not predictably) overcome talent deficits to impose their will on superior boxers. Chavez Jr. has proven himself to be in that mold with the capacity to improve. as long as he makes weight, who gives a F'k what bitterly-dissapointed island PUTOS think?Posted September 26, 2013 11:09 am

Junior is a disgrace to the sport of boxing. He's a pot head drunk that needs to go find something else to do. This guy is receiving too many chances. He is tough and has some fight in him, but he lacks discipline. He's not going anywhere. Boxers need to be clean 100% all the time. No Peds or or any other drug should be in their system including Marijuana. Boxers get enough brain damage as it is.Posted September 26, 2013 12:27 am

Te Tumbo…Abraham and Jermain Taylor were far more dominant than Chavez at MW, and look what happened to them when they stepped up assuming they would make it.
They got the p1ss slapped out of them, and their careers nose-dived.
I`m not convinced Jnr would be anything more than another Librado Andrade at SMW.
If Froch is limited, he`s looked limited beating probably 7-8 guys who would beat every single fighter Chavez Jnr has.Posted September 25, 2013 9:24 pm

te tumbo, if they're fighting in CA our state rules apply. Therefore Jr can light up a fat joint and smoke it at ring center during the post-fight interview. All he needs is a medical marijuana permit, which is easy to get. Must-see TV.Posted September 25, 2013 7:58 pm

It's always something with Chavez Jr. First it was the illegal weight loss supplement, then he's smoking weed at camp, now he's massively overweight. He seems to have a strange sense of entitlement. Unfortunately for Vera, he'll take the fight regardless just like that dude at 130 did with Broner. Whomever the house fighter is dictates the terms.Posted September 25, 2013 7:56 pm

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 6/14/13
MINNEAPOLIS The Twins loved Ben Revere when he was in Minnesota. They probably don't care very much for him now that he's in Philadelphia especially when he keys a win over his former team. Revere was 4-for-6 in Thursday's series finale at his old stomping grounds of Target Field as his new Phillies team topped Minnesota by a 3-2 final. Batting leadoff for the first time this series, Revere got on base with the first of his four hits in the first inning. After his single to right field opened the game, Revere stole his 15th base of the season as he took off for second base. But he would be stranded at third as one of 16 Phillies runners left on base Thursday. Three innings later, Revere collected his third hit of the game on a two-out triple that reached the gap in right-center field. It was just his second triple of the season and it gave the Phillies a scoring chance against Twins starter Kevin Correia. But once again, Revere was left at third after Michael Young grounded out to...

Room was amazing and the service at the front desk was great.
The hours listed for the restaurant in the hotel, Rare, were incorrect in the hotel guide. We rushed back from the show we went to because it said it was open til 11 and they were closed up at 10. We had looked forward to it but just went to bed instead.

Jimmer Fredette has great workout in Utah
Jun 15, 2011, 7:55 PM EDT
Former BYU sensation and current draft prospect Jimmer Fredette recently had a draft workout with his hometown Utah Jazz, and all indications are that it went great. Brian T. Smith of the Salt Lake Tribune has the report:
The Jimmer Fredette Circus arrived Wednesday in Salt Lake City. The show was packed; the scene was a riot. And Fredette again stole the spotlight.
Building off strong performances during four previous NBA Draft workouts, the former Brigham Young guard accomplished exactly what he set out to do weeks ago when initial plans took shape for a highly hyped session with the Jazz. Fredette got his long-desired matchup against ex-Connecticut star Kemba Walker, holding his own against a player many consider to be a lock for a top-10 pick in the June 23 draft. Fredette also drilled shots he was expected to sink, while drawing praise for his sharp passing and improved defense. In turn, the undersized combo guard who entered the five-week buildup toward selection day facing numerous questions and serious doubts ended Wednesday's session by converting more believers…
…Fredette again focused on proving that he can play defense and run the point guard position at the NBA level.
All five other players involved in the workout said Fredette did just that. And while Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor offered his standard string of no comments, Utah coach Tyrone Corbin was impressed with the guard's speed and fiery spirit.
"This cat really competes and he hate to lose," Corbin said. "He's a good kid. He really like to play, and that shows in everything that he do on the floor – along with his scoring ability. Everyone knows him for putting up numbers on the board. But I think he's a more complete player than a lot of people give him credit for."
Sounds like things went pretty well for Jimmer, but this may actually put the Jazz in a bind. No matter how well Jimmer's workout goes, he would still be far too much of a reach for the Jazz to take with their #3 pick, and if he keeps having workouts this impressive, he might not be there when the Jazz pick for the 2nd time with the #12 pick. Given Fredette's immense popularity in the Jazz's market and the fact that Utah traded away its franchise point guard last season, it seems almost impossible that the Jazz will pass on Fredette if he's available at 12.
When the draft process first started, the opinion seemed to be that the Jazz would be drafting Fredette for marketing as much as they would for his on-court skill, but now he appears to be playing like a legitimate lottery pick in workouts — on both ends of the floor, no less. The question now seems to be whether or not Jimmer will be available for the Jazz to grab with the #12 pick, and if they'll try and make some sort of move up to get him if he isn't.

no offense to Jazz fans, but this organization is so incredibly predictable. Probably the most predictable in sports after the Raiders. They will always take the low risk, safe, character guy that they know will sell their fanbase on the team but won't necessarily make them that much better.

Four significant pieces of Michael Jordan memorabilia sold at auction early Saturday morning.
Three items related to Jordan's North Carolina career -- a diploma and two recruiting letters -- sold for more than $50,000 combined, while a game-used Dream Team uniform drew a $32,682 winning bid.
The two letters, originally obtained from a storage locker rented by a Jordan's restaurant in Chapel Hill that was sold after payments weren't made, were a source of controversy.
Jordan's mother, Deloris, said the letters weren't genuine because she had kept all of her son's recruiting letters. But as the days went on, her story didn't seem to hold.
She never produced the identical letters, while the auction house that was selling them, Goldin Auctions, obtained multiple letters from experts vouching for its authenticity based on the paper the letters were on and the handwriting by then-assistant coach Bill Guthridge and head coach Dean Smith.
Last month, the auction house was given assurance that the winning bidder would own the items outright and that neither Jordan nor his family would lay claim to them.
The letter from Guthridge to Jordan sold for $4,732, while the letter from Smith went for $27,009.
A diploma, which the auction house said was an original copy obtained by the University of North Carolina but might have not been the only one issued to Jordan, sold for $20,785.
Other notable items in the auction included a Jackie Robinson game-used bat that sold for $162,267, two Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl rings that sold for more than $36,000 each, a New England Patriots Super Bowl XXXIX ring given to "Spygate" videographer Matt Estrella sold for $15,810 and an 18-page Muhammad Ali handwritten draft of his conversion to Islam drew a winning bid of $25,376.

Is there any polite way to shush a chatty person at the movies? Should roller bladers be passed on the left side or the right side? When is it unacceptable to answer your cell phone? And why doesn't anyone in your grocery store seem to understand the basic rules of shopping cart navigation and right-of-way?

Much more than a simple etiquette book, "How to Behave" is a real-life guide to living in the real world.

Small Stories Bigger Picture – Visual Storytelling at the Museum of the Image04:50
6,091 Plays / 48 Likes / 0 Comments
In today's world where information is practically unlimited, we are faced with the fundamental challenge of how to extract, interpret, and create meaning out of the data and information overload. A new generation of designers are tackling the challenge head on and using graphic design, infographics, illustration, and photography to convey information in the most elegant, entertaining, and informative way. Gestalten has always been passionately following and documenting the evolution of visual storytelling through our and Data Flow and recent Visual Storytelling books and now it's in the form of an exhibition. The "Small Stories Bigger Picture" exhibition at the Museum of the Image (MOTI), curated by Gestalten's Sven Ehmann and Graphic Design Festival Breda curator Dennis Elbers, reveals how image-makers create and share visual stories from various roles and perspectives—as poets, journalists, researches and agitators. Gestalten.tv was recently in Breda, Netherlands to interview the curators and several of the designers—Catalogtree, Peter Orntoft, Floris Kaays, and Vahram Muratyam—in the widely successful exhibition, on show until December 9th.
