Premiering at this year's Toronto International Film Festival was director Sergio Castellitto's Twice Born. Based on the novel of the same name by Margaret Mazzantini, the film stars Penelope Cruz as a single mother who returns with her teen son to present-day Sarajevo where her son's father (Emile Hirsch) died during the Bosnian conflict of the 1990s. As she tries to repair the relationship with her son, new revelations force her to rethink everything. The film also stars Mira Fulran and Jane Birkin and you can watch the first trailer here.
Before the world premiere, I landed an exclusive interview with Penelope Cruz. We talked about a broad array of things, such as premiering at TIFF, social networking and email, why she wanted to make Twice Born, the type of research she does for a role, rehearsals, how many takes she likes to do and the way Woody Allen works, Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Pedro Almovodar's I'm So Excited (where she finally works with Antonio Banderas) and more. In addition, with Cruz currently filming Ridley Scott's The Counselor, we talked about why she signed on to the project and who she plays. Hit the jump for the audio and transcript.
As usual, I'm offering you two ways to get this interview: you can either click here for the audio or the full transcript is below.
Collider: How are you doing today?
PENELOPE CRUZ: Very good. And you? I remember you.
You do?
CRUZ: I don't know from where, but I know…
It was one of the Woody Allen junkets in Los Angeles.
CRUZ: And what paper do you write for?
I run an online site called Collider, its like a movie website.
CRUZ: Okay.
Do you go online to read about movies a lot?
CRUZ: I go just to read the paper, read some websites about movies, and some websites about babies, that's it.
That's the life?
CRUZ: I don't do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.
That's funny.
CRUZ: I like the Internet, but I'm also careful with it.
Well, a lot of people when they open the door it can be a flood of negative and positive, you know?
CRUZ: Yeah, it's not a good thing to Google your name.
I definitely want to ask you about being a part of the Toronto Film Festival this year. Obviously you've been here in the past. What does it mean this year and with this film?
CRUZ: I've always enjoyed being here; I like very much the energy of this festival. You know, it's a very good place for distribution, but it's also a great celebration of movies, but it doesn't have the competitive aspect. Even if part of it is competition, but it doesn't feel like that. So, I think that's in the air, you know. Its different from all the festivals that – I'm not saying anything negative about them, because they are what they are, but it feels much more competitive.
I understand exactly what you mean. The other festivals do have that air of "what's going to win?"
CRUZ: Si, but not here.
What was it about this particular project that got you involved with it?
CRUZ: The book. I wanted to work with Sergio [Castellitto] again, because we did Don't Move together and it was a really beautiful and intense experience. But I felt as fascinated by this book as I did with Don't Move. Margaret Mazzantini, his wife, she wrote both books and I think she's an amazing writer. And I really connect with everything she writes, and with her way of seeing life. She's given me these two amazing characters.
As an actor how you typically prepare for each of your roles – what is the most research you've ever done for one role?
CRUZ: I try to do as much as possible for every character. Some of them it is easier to do the research because you have either real examples that you work with, maybe some specific person that inspires you in that case, or the performances from other people, or the characters, or a character from a book. But, in this one I had my book to follow, it was like the bible. And I had my three books on the set in English, in Italian, and in Spanish; all of them full of notes. Because I was shooting in English and in Italian and none of them are my first language. But, I had the book there with all the answers, and I had the author on the set every single day. But in terms of the research, I had to prepare with the dialect coach, because I spoke English with an Italian accent. Then I had to prepare with the other teachers for the Italian, to refresh my Italian. And I had to really just spend a few times trying to really, really get Gemma inside of me.
I think both you and Emile [Hirsch] did great, great work in this movie. I'm just curious how you – I know Emile doesn't like to rehearse that much, or maybe he did?
CRUZ: We didn't rehearse, because Sergio doesn't, doesn't like to rehearse either. We talk a lot. We talk a lot and we go to Italy before and we spend time together. For example, in Don't Move he bartered and I bought the clothes for my character, we bought the clothes together for Italia. And the clothes were, like the sweaters that I wore were like one Arrow sweater; really, really scratchy. And we chose the things together. For me it was a very symbolic thing that we did together. A lot of things came out of that shopping trip that we did together. I will never forget that day. And that's the way we work. We go there. Here we went to Sarajevo two times, and it was very important also to spend time there, to understand – to try to understand a little bit more that war, which is not easy. But it was important to be there and hear it from the people that went through it.
A lot of actors prefer the two-take method of Clint Eastwood –
CRUZ: Not me. (laughs)
A lot of actors like the David Fincher method of fifty takes.
CRUZ: Fifty?
Yeah there's some people that are crazy.
CRUZ: I prefer in-between.
What do you typically like to do? And what's the most you've ever done?
CRUZ: I think probably the most I've ever done is thirty, twenty-five if something was going wrong with whatever. Normally, I'm happy around eight.
That's a good number.
CRUZ: But now I'm used to working with directors that only like doing two.
Woody Allen?
CRUZ: Like Woody. And sometimes he'd try to check the gate after one take, but I remember I never let him. I ran up to him and I said, "You can not have me going home like this, because I'm going to have a nerve attack. How can we know we have it in one take?" "Oh no, but it was perfect, I have it." "Ok, but for me, for my peace of mind let me do one more." He never said no. He is really kind, he is really respectful to everybody else, but he knows when he has it. And then and I know he saw it was right. And if he thought that was the take he liked, unless you really surprised him with something different. It's like Ridley [Scott]. They are machines, the way they have the whole movie in their head. It's incredible to see them work.
Before I run out of time with you, I know you're filming in London now. What was it about that project – was it the script, was it Ridley, was it the actors? How did you get involved with The Counselor?
CRUZ: I read the script, and after three pages I was completely blown away by how new this feels. It's Cormac McCarthy's first script. Not based on any book, its just a script. And it's an incredible piece for actors, all the characters are incredible. All the scenes are very long scenes, a lot of dialogue, scenes that have a beginning and a transition. You can travel with each scene, you have the space and the time to really go through a journey with each scene; and that, for actors, it's a big privilege to have scenes like that. Then we started talking about it and playing Laura, who is one of the–how do I tell you without saying?
Yeah, I don't want you to spoil it.
CRUZ: Yeah, but it's a character that has always chosen the light. Has very particular ideology, is a very religious woman, or has been educated like that and is starting to have doubts about some things. Or, also starting to feel a curiosity toward the darkness. Also knowing that there is a very big, real danger there. Life is putting her in that situation where she's tasting the darkness.
Do you do an accent in the film?
CRUZ: No, I'm a European girl from Spain that is living in America.
Do you typically have most of your scenes with one of the other cast members? You have an incredible cast.
CRUZ: Most my scenes are with Michael Fassbender and with Cameron Diaz. And I don't have any scenes with Javier.
[laughs] That's very funny.
CRUZ: But for us it is better, we could do every movie like this, because then always one of us can be free. You know? We don't have to be working in the same day. (laughs)
I also want to ask you before I run out of time with you, you were a part of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, obviously this is a major thing that Disney wants to make another one. Have you heard anything about another one?
CRUZ: No. I haven't heard anything. I haven't read a script, I haven't heard anything.
Did you have a lot of fun making the last one?
CRUZ: I loved making that movie. Because, Johnny is an incredible human being. He's a very good friend, and he's always been so good to me. And you know, that was a very special time for me because I was pregnant through the whole movie and the way Johnny and Rob Marshall were with me, the way they protected me, the way they took care of me, I will never forget in my life. And I love them for that.
So basically if they call and say, "We're making another" you're in? Or is it you need to see the script?
CRUZ: No, it's not that. With Johnny and with Rob; its like, anything. But I don't mean movies. I consider them my friends. And I really love them and respect them.
You've done so many great roles have been part of so many really great movies; when you're waiting in line at Starbucks, what do people typically always want to talk to you about? Is there one particular role, or one film?
CRUZ: It's strange, it could be a role or it could be the most strange question you can imagine. And, I'm trying to remember what is something really weird. Most of the times people are very nice, very respectful, and say really nice things to you. But once and a while you get a just peculiar, strange comment. Or like when they try to put you on the phone to talk to their aunt or to talk to somebody in their family. And you don't really know what to say to that person, and you know, and you're there waiting in line and talking to some stranger. And then, usually "Hello," and they say "No!" and they hang up on you. "Sorry, I didn't call in the first place."
My last question for you; you've made, or you've finished filming with Pedro [Almovodar] on an upcoming film, what can you tell people about it?
CRUZ: This is our fifth movie together. And it;s actually the opening of the movie, it's two scenes that Antonio Banderas and myself do together to open the movie. It's like collaboration in the film. But it is the first time that we are together in a movie, Antonio and I. So we are happy that Pedro is the one that has put us together and the three of us are really wanting to do a film together.
Are you just in the opening of the film, or are you in the whole movie?
CRUZ: No, no. Antonio and I have two scenes in the beginning of the movie, and create a big problem that I can't talk about, and then we just disappear.
I understand.
I want to thank you so much for your time today.
CRUZ: Thank you.
Really, congratulations on this, on Twice Born.
CRUZ: Thank you so much. I'm very happy you liked it.
I really did.
CRUZ: I really like the movie. I loved seeing it yesterday with the audience. I think Sergio did a great film.
It's really good. I didn't realize that the initial first cut was four and a half hours, and they cut it down to two hours, two hours and ten minutes.
CRUZ: Yeah.
There's so much more of the story that I would love to see.
CRUZ: Yeah, and I mean, what I'm really proud of, that's Eduardo Cruz, my brother.
He did the soundtrack.
CRUZ: That's his score that he's done, the soundtrack. I think it's amazing. He's twenty-seven years old, and I'm so proud of him, I'm blown away by what he's done.
I really do want to see the stuff that's cut out thought, I'm very curious about it. I mean that's twice as long.
CRUZ: It's two more hours, yeah.

Interview with KDABian Stephen Kelly
KDAB have published an interview with Akonadi-hacker Stephen Kelly, who also recently won a Qt contribution award. In the interview, Stephen explains how his contributions to the Model/View infrastructure in Qt make dealing with complex models, such as those used in Akonadi to display emails and other personal data, easier. In the interview, Steve also hints at the future of note-taking in KDE.
Note taking
When I hear "notes", I immediately think of hand-written notes (think MS OneNotes or MS Journal). Any plans to add stylus support to either KDEPIM or KOffice (non-Krita)?

Iggy Azalea Slams Lorde's Nirvana Tributeby Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Iggy Azalea has taken a shot at Lorde for her tribute with Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in April.
While speaking with Billboard, Azalea said, "Nothing against her, but I think when you're doing a tribute to someone that's dead, generally it should be the person's peer," Azalea told the magazine. "Lorde is not Kurt Cobain's peer. No matter if she killed the performance or not, I just don't think it's appropriate."
Lorde has yet to respond to Azalea's comments.
As part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Lorde joined surviving Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl on stage and provided the vocals to 'All Apologies.'
For whatever reason, the magazine points out that Azalea seemed to single Lorde out since Joan Jett, St. Vincent and Kim Gordon also joined Novoselic and Grohl on stage.

Battle Point Event: Eras

Excellent, make it permanent please.27
What happens in phase 3-4 on ST maps when there can be 4 hero's on each side
First order only have 2 available where's resistance have at least 6 hero choices2
How will this work in the prequels?
There are three light side heros and four darksiders heros.
In the last phase will it simply be three vs four?
Same for the first order maps. Two darksider vs four or five light side heros.0

Excellent. Honestly, this should be the standard. Cross-era content should be limited to game modes where it's appropriate like Hero Showdown, Heroes vs. Villains and Hero Starfighters. The thing is, for era specific content to work well across the remaining game modes, BFII needs more weapons, Heroes and Hero Ships from each era added."All wings report in."18

261 posts MemberYes. I like it.
I would even go so far as to ask that only Rey, Finn, and maybe good ol' Chewie be available as LS heroes in the ST maps.
But I'm very much looking forward to this.6
14 posts MemberSo you all are really going to introduce this mode the first weekend that Dooku's released?
Agreed. Now that we get Dooku, we'll only be able to play as him in 3 of the 12 galactic assault maps? But from the positive comments above, maybe I'm one of the few who doesn't care at all about immersion and cross-era heroes at this point.

He brings up a good point! Isn't this poor timing as people will just quite unless they'd get clones era to Duku5
So you all are really going to introduce this mode the first weekend that Dooku's released?
As much as I want this that is another decision I just don't understand from these people.The Knights of Gareth are Eternal
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth10
I'll be sure to play GA every second I can this weekend! It'll actually look right and us Troopers will finally have a decent chance to fight out the objectives with balance.
Just my opinion, but this weekend this game will be a "proper" Battlefront. No more boring take overs by the same Hero mechanics on every single map....should be glorious haha.15
479 posts MemberI think it's set up to fail with the timing. It's going to skew any feedback from comments or from any kind of metrics they use. People want the new hero after it's released. Look at all the feedback from yesterday regarding HvV taking forever to start because of people lobby hopping.
No map selector + New Hero that will have extremely limited availability in the main game mode is not a recipe for success.
I'm also interested to see what the spawn screen camping is going to be like when there are only 2 hero slots available.
I'm glad that it's here though, for those that have been waiting for it. Should be a fun and interesting weekend!5

4 of the 13 galactic assault maps (Kamino, Naboo, Kashyyyk, and Geonosis)0
1. Dooku will be everyone's "go to" if they want a villain hero anyway...even if this was a normal weekend it would be rare to grab him in his introduction weekend.
2. You'd have better luck, regardless, playing HvV if you're anxious to just play Dooku. It will still be just as hard to grab him when the match starts but it won't be affected by Correct Eras event.
3. You know there's a Heroes Unleashed coming up soon (we've had THREE) where you can Dooku all weekend with double XP. But it's no different any weekend a Hero comes out...its the one single piece of new content they keep drip feeding this game with and ALL the Hero players will be obsessed with nabbing him and keeping him throughout the entire match.
Just dont want to see this event ruined because loud Hero players will blame the event on them not getting to play as Dooku. Cause dont worry...you can be The Count on Takodanna, Starkiller, Death Star and Yavin to your hearts content after this weekend (if you can beat the others to grabbing him...which will be a problem for a couple of weeks anyway).6
That Obi Wan clone armor looks like he's playing dress up in his daddy's gear.1
Thanks for the heads up now I know to play HVV instead 😂😂😂5
This is an L. Let's pander to the complainers more and ruin it for the people who actually want to have fun.3

I'm not complaining about the realism (although it has always bugged me and will be ridiculous if you have Vader fighting Anakin!), I don't play GA much because of all the Hero's constantly dominating the field/objectives, restricting it to 2 is a positive step in my opinion and I will be playing it over the weekend.
I'm sure the same usually players will get the Hero's first but at least it'll make them play different ones and not just the usual GA dominating few.
Strangely I do enjoy the Hero's unleashed event's and would like more of them, which would help balance this IF it became permanent.

Why are you being rude to someone for not liking their opinion.7
366 posts MemberBoring event, sorry.
I will give it a look but mainly i will play Hero Showdown in this time and level up Dooku.6
3766 posts MemberThank goodness, cannot wait. So glad heroes will be limited to 2, as for me the hero spam is one of the main reason I don't like GA, and it'll be awesome to see heroes in their respective eras.6
Event is live. You should see era accurate heroes costing 2,250BP whilst others are 600k BP.5
4933 posts MemberLooking forward to it.3

600k you say? No problem.
579 posts MemberCool. Yet another reason to NOT play GA9
59 posts MemberI don't mind the event...but the timing is poor at best. I would rather double xp than era limited heroes after a new hero release. I feel a lack of any kind of rational planning from this move.4
8140 posts MemberCool, I don't mind that much, but why right after Dooku?You guys are gonna make me rich......
Xbox G-tagXJO461
That Specialist rework was disappointing.7
205 posts MemberI can only assume this event is to show people how awful era restriction is by locking the brand new hero to 4 maps, I approve. I'll play RE2 over the weekend while I wait for this to end11
967 posts Membertbh i don't mind such era locked events as it will be a new 'immersive' gameplay experience as some would call it but shouldn't Heroes Unleashed or a Double XP Event be more appropriate to celebrate the launch of Count Dooku?
i mean if you are promoting him, you should not be in any way 'Restricting Content' or Access
its like spending money on advertisement on a new product to bring customers to your shop, only to turn down all the customers lining up in queue saying.. "eh sorry guys, it ain't for sale at this time. Go watch our advertisements instead"
lol i mean, the person behind this planning in DICE should do some self reflecting... timing seems rather Odd indeed
ok got my mini rant out of the way cheers2

While I concede doing this the day after they released Dooku is terrible timing, I'm actually enjoying this a lot.
While the immersion is helping my enjoyment, that isn't even the best part. The objective play has been great, lobbies are balanced, and the final phase infantry actually matter, aside from being there for the 8 heroes to farm kills.
One change that is needed, give the FO Bossk and/ or Boba to give them a little bit of variety. Bossk never died, and Boba got out of the Sarlaac.
I'd love for this to stay and heroes unleashed being added for those who want cross era.The Knights of Gareth are Eternal

178 posts MemberJust finished playing about eight maps and I gotta say it was quite enjoyable and different. It's very nice to see era correct heroes on the matching maps. Makes for not always getting Palp'd or Rey'd to death on every game as well.
I only played PT and OT maps in the rotation I was in, but counted 4-6 heroes elig on most eras for each side. I understand now why the four heroes at phase 3 or 4 were omitted.. at least until Anakin is delivered. Gotta say.. I enjoyed it much better. Really changed the strategy on choke point maps.6
Pretty bad timing.3
1592 posts MemberExcelent event, game feels more authentic and tactical(i'm liking 2 heroes in the final phase), but terrible terrible timing.13
4974 posts MemberLame, guess I won't be playing much this weekendThis is how you teach scrubs:8
Again DICE takes content away and call it an "event". Guess I won't be playing this weekend.7
1057 posts MemberEvent is awesome. Been playing this game for several hours straight.Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/TroopperFoFo/ .
Battlefront 2 , Battlefield and more.9
1281 posts MemberJanuary 25, 2019 10:00AM edited January 2019GA feels SOOOO much better without the of heroes it becomes at the last phase, gameplay flows SOOO much nicer, 2 heroes per team at the last phase is IDEAL.
Not only that, but feels so nice to not see a spam of reys and palpatines at every single match.
This event made me want to play GA again , which i was avoiding for a long time.
+1 for this event

If you are a cleaner, you may have heard about the new Toxics Use Reduction Act designation of perc as a Higher Hazard Substance. To learn more about what this means, please read the Higher Hazard Substance Letter from MassDEP.
There are a number of alternatives to perchloroethylene for garment cleaning, but many of them have environmental, health and safety concerns, or have not been thoroughly studied. Of the available alternatives, wet cleaning and CO2 have the fewest hazards associated with them.
We recognize that you have a choice of cleaning processes and agents. Our goal is to encourage you to make the switch to wet cleaning or CO2. These safer alternatives not only protect your health and the environment, but also create a "green" niche for your business. Switching to wet cleaning can be a great business decision. The environment, your customers, you and your staff, and your bottom line will benefit from a switch to a truly environmentally friendly alternative to perc.

(CNN) — Less than three weeks after Young Jeezy turned himself in after allegedly beating up and threatening to kill his teenage son, the rapper has been arrested again.
Alpharetta, Georgia, police spokesman George Gordon confirmed the new arrest to CNN but did not provide additional details Tuesday night.
According to The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Jeezy — whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins — was arrested Tuesday afternoon and charged with obstruction for allegedly cursing at officers and refusing to provide his name.
Gordon told CNN affiliate WSB that police arrived at an Alpharetta townhouse because of a security alarm, but no one answered the door. Police saw Jeezy walking out the back of the townhouse, and the rapper allegedly said the townhouse was his girlfriend's home.
The Journal-Constitution said Jenkins refused to show his identification or give his name and instead cursed at officers, who then arrested him.
All this comes less than three weeks after Jeezy, 36, turned himself after the alleged incident with his teenage son.
His son told police the ordeal started at an Atlanta apartment in September 2012 after he sent a text message to his father.
According to the son, Jeezy "walked into the bathroom where he was and slammed his head against the sliding shower door," then "picked him up and threw him into the wall in the bedroom," a police report said.
When the teen tried to run downstairs and away, he was blocked by his father's bodyguard, the report said.
Jeezy then "pulled him back into the room, threw him on the bed, choked him and stated, 'I'll kill you," the son told police. He allegedly threw him against a wall and onto the floor before kicking him in the head.
"The juvenile stated his father stated to him 'I'll put a bullet in your head right now,'" the report said.
The boy's mother called police two days later when her son returned to her and she noticed bruising and scratches on his face, the police report said.
A grand jury warrant was issued for the rapper, who faces charges of battery, terroristic threats and false imprisonment.
Jeezy turned himself in to authorities January 3 and was released on a $45,000 bond, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office said.

Last weekend I paid a visit to the Museum of London to take in a free tour of its Roman collections relating to the era when the city was known as Londinium and acted as the focal point for Rome's overlordship of much of the British mainland. The tour, which was excellent and informative, covered the basics of Roman settlement on the Thames, ranging from the architecture and religious practices to class variations in styles of living. Naturally, the authentic Roman relics were fascinating and the dioramas and displays the museum has produced to illustrate this part of history are creative and well executed.
One aspect of the tour was notable for a slightly less conventional reason. Museums are justly proud when they hold items in their collections that are unique, and it appears that one particular item of clothing on display has only survived in one other site. This is a well-preserved Roman leather bikini, probably made for dancing girls in the 1st century AD. The bikini trunks (pictured below) were discovered down a Roman timber-lined well in Queen Street in 1953 along with 'a wooden ladder … a wooden spoon and a wooden dipper' and are almost completely intact. The museum's display is accompanied by a sketch of a contemporary statue from Rennes in France (right) that shows the bikini being worn along with skateboarder-style pads to reduce wear and tear on the dancer's knees. Granted, the bikini is a simple item of clothing, but the similarities between this 1900-year-old item and modern clothing is remarkable.
After my museum visit I took up a suggestion of the tour guide and paid a visit to the nearby Guildhall Art Gallery. This was not specifically to view its paintings, although they were interesting enough (particularly 'Israel in Egypt', the large ancient Egyptian scene painted by Sir Edward John Poynter in 1867). My main goal was to visit the gallery's basement. I had not heard of its contents before, and it's certainly not a high priority on the tourist circuit.
Perhaps it should be. In the basement's large open space is set out the foundations of London's Roman amphitheatre. The foundations themselves aren't spectacular to look at, because there's not much left above the floor level and most of the oval walls of the amphitheatre itself actually lie outside the gallery's own foundations and so are either buried or lost. But when you visit you are able to get a sense of those gladiators who would've walked the same route into the amphitheatre where up to 7000 baying spectators awaited the spectacle of combat. You can walk over the original timber-framed drainage pipes underneath the entrance floor, now protected by plastic covers. Unfortunately, the one thing you can't do is take photographs down there, so I can't show you what it looks like other than to point out this link with a single picture, plus an overhead view of the Guildhall Yard above with the outline of the amphitheatre marked out in dark paving stones, which is perhaps better admired in this top-down view to get a sense of the scale of the structure:

Nouriel Roubini, global macro Uber-Bear, has posted an interesting commentary on his blog - "The delusional complacency that the "worst is behind us" is rapidly melting away…and the risk of another run against systemically important broker dealers" which I am excerpting below with my comments in red:
The deleveraging process for the financial system has barely started as most of the writedowns have been for subprime mortgages; the writedowns and/or provisioning for the additional losses have barely started. Thus, hundreds of banks in the U.S. are at risk of collapse. The typical small U.S. Bank (with assets less of $4 billion has 67% of its assets related to real estate; for large banks the figure is 48%. Thus, hundreds of small banks will go belly up as the typical local bank financed the housing, the commercial real estate, the retail boom, the office building of communities where housing is now going bust. Even large regional banks massively exposed to real estate in California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida and other states with a housing boom and now bust will go belly up. This is true, and the risk is borne not only by the smaller and regional banks, but the big brokers and the entire US economy as well. This is a snapshot from the Asset Securitization Crisis Series - A very significant part of our GDP is now tied up in this mess! In the decade from 1988-1997, residential loans have expanded at a CAGR of 10.1% as compared to 3.5% for commercial loans. However, in the following decade i.e. 1998-2007, residential loans grew at a lower CAGR of 11.2% as compared to 12.4% for commercial loans, mainly because of small and mid-size banks lent more in commercial real estate during the period. Although commercial real estate loans were higher paying, they also bore higher risk in the form of liquidity, valuation, market risk - which affected the risk profile of these banks that were incapable of bearing such a level of complexity in risk in the first place.

Shift from traditional banking activities
With major opportunities of revenue generation being offered by trading and other investment activities, as well as the lifting of the Glass-Steagal Act in the US (which allowed commercial banks and investment banks to compete directely), banks across the globe shifted from traditional banking activities to other sources of income, leading to better revenue diversification. The ratio of non-interest income to a bank's total income has more than doubled from 20% in 1980 to approximately 44% in 2006.

Back to the Roubini Excerpt...
And even large banks and broker dealers are now at risk. After the bailout of Bear Stearns' creditor and the extension of lender of last resort liquidity support the tail risk of an immediate financial meltdown was reduced as that liquidity support stopped the run on the shadow banking system. Indeed in March we were an epsilon away from such meltdown as – without the Fed actions – you would have had a run not only on Bear but also on Lehman, JP Morgan, Merrill and most of the shadow banking system. This system of non-banks looked in most ways like banks (borrow short/liquid, leverage a lot and lend longer term and illiquid). So the risk of a bank-like run on non-bank (whose base of uninsured wholesale short term creditors/lenders is much more fickle and run trigger-happy – as the Bear episode showed - than the stable base of insured depositors of banks) became massive. Thus, the Fed made its most radical change of monetary policy since the Great Depression extending both lender of last resort support to non-bank systemically important broker dealers (via the PDCF) and becoming a market maker of last resort to banks and non-banks (via the TAF and the TSLF) to avoid a full scale sudden run on the shadow banking system and a sure meltdown of the financial system.
While the tail risk of such a meltdown has now been reduced the view that systemically important broker dealers - that have now access to the TSLF and the PDCF – now don't risk a panic-triggered run on their liabilities is false; several of them can still collapse and not be rescued. The reasons are as follows: liquidity support by the Fed is warranted for illiquid but solvent institutions but not for insolvent ones; and the risks that some of the major broker dealers may face is not just of illiquidity but also insolvency (Lehman had as much exposure to toxic MBS, CDOs and other risky assets as Bear did). The Fed already tested the limits of legality (as argued by Volcker) in its bailout of Bear's creditors.I have a lot of respect of Professor Roubini's predictive success over the last few years, but he (like most) appear to have not taken a close look at these banker's books. Reference my original research on MS form December of last year. Once it comes to the truly illiquid stuff, Morgan has Bear beat by about 25% and Lehman beat by a large margin as well. As a matter of fact the only one's that come close are the media and Street's golden darling boys, Goldman Sachs. Surprise, Surprise!!! It always pays to go through the numbers. Is GS reyling on risky prop trading to keep up this pristine facade? Curious minds want to know.
The riskiest bank on Wall Street – High exposure to Level 3 assets despite significant write-downs
Unconsolidated VIEs could aggravate woes
VIEs have tormented most Wall Street financial majors—several of them have had to consolidate their VIEs to increase liquidity and limit losses. These innovative, structured entities were introduced to boost earnings without transferring actual risk into the balance sheets of banks.
Morgan Stanley has significant exposure to VIEs, with the maximum loss ratio averaging roughly 50% in recent years. The large exposure ($37.7 billion in 4Q 07), high loss ratio and adverse market conditions could force the company out of business if its maximum loss assumptions become reality. Morgan Stanley's unconsolidated VIEs comprise the most troublesome asset categories – MBS & ABS portfolios (worth $6.3 billion), credit & real estate portfolios ($26.6 billion) and some structured finance products ($8.6 billion). Loss exposure in the credit & real estate portfolio is not expected to be lower than 70% considering the slump in housing demand, falling home prices and rising foreclosures. The growing housing inventory across the U.S. has also raised concerns about the disposal of these assets. Home prices across the U.S. declined 7% (on average), while foreclosures increased 20% during the past year alone. This scenario reflects the bleak prospects of the housing industry and the securities linked to it.

And back to Roubini...
Suppose that a run – triggered by concerns about illiquidity and solvency – occurs against a major broker dealer (say Lehman) would the Fed come to the rescue again? The answer is not sure: such broker dealer has access to the PDCF but sharply borrowing from this facility would signal that the institution may be bleeding liquidity and be in trouble; thus large access to the Fed facility may cause the run on the liabilities of such financial institutions to accelerate rather than ebb. The reason is as follows: if creditors of the broker dealers knew with certainty that the Fed liquidity tab is open and unlimited the existence of the facility would stop the run. But if there is any meaningful probability that the amount that the Fed would be willing to lend to an institutions using that facility is not unlimited and is not unconditional then use of the facility may accelerate the run – as those first in line would have access to the liquidity provided by the Fed lending to the broker dealer in trouble while those waiting may be stuck once the lending stops. This is akin to a currency crisis in a pegged exchange rate regime triggered by a run on the forex reserves of a central bank. Once the reserves are running down and investors expect that the central bank will run out of reserves the run accelerated and the collapse of the peg occurs faster.
I tend not to build too high a concentration in any one position (risk managment guidelines), but I have been allowing certain broker banks to tilt the scale a little. I hear whispers of potential runs, and the logic is there as Dr. Roubini has illustrated and as I have pointed out in earlier posts. This combined with the fact that a couple of these brokers are quite exposed to risk and the media/pundits haves not their homework in regards to exactly who is weak and why portends another Bear Stearns-like catastrophe/profit oppurtunity.

Just so long as there is a difference between the aba and the dss it doesn't matter
We would like to stick with the colors we have on the site now, the dark blue and orange and white, maybe one other color wouldn't be bad for the logo. We are somewhat partial to silver
it needs to have a satellite of some kind either a dish that is on the ground or one in space or whatever.
We have two design concepts that we are playing with and these are not requirements so feel free to deviate from these as we are open to anything.
1) we were thinking of a metallic or industrial type of logo because this is techology based
2) this is a helper forum and we try to promote friendly helping and a respectful environment, so we were also maybe thinking of a softer "FRIENDLIER" type of logo.
The current logo is in flash, we do not want to utilize flash any longer, we would like a static logo, jpg or gif. We will need a high res version of this to put onto print media, like bus cards, stationary, and promo materials like tshirts etc.

This week Facebook founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg was spotted in Berlin on a tour of Germany and meeting with German politicians.
Zuckerberg traveled from Hamburg to Berlin on May 21, apparently with wife Priscilla Chan, as part of a "whistle-stop tour," according to the European site Venture Village. Apparently he was taking in the sights as well as having a rooftop meeting with politicians Burkhardt Muller-Sonksen and Peter Tauber to view the Reichstag -- the meeting place for German Parliament.
While Facebook confirmed Zuckerberg's whereabouts, the company would not confirm or deny that he met with any German businesses or startups.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
A few that could be on the short list: ResearchGate, a kind of Facebook for scientists; Wooga, a social games developer that does mobile well; Vamos, an event-discovery app; and Soundcloud, a fully integrated music player.
We're not sure Zuckerberg went to Germany to purchase startups, but knowing that he's previously paid out $1 billion for photo-sharing app Instagram, the German startups are likely to seem like a steal.

After doing these write-ups for a number of years, it becomes very clear that if you are a one-dimensional player, then it had better be a helluva dimension. To reach the majors, you really need a diversified skill set. If you have just one real value-driver, then it's a steep uphill climb to the majors.
At this point in his development, Henry Rodriguez is looking very one dimensional. At best, he's looking like an empty batting average type player. Earlier in his career, it looked like he might provide some speed and average glove-work, but those components have tailed off, maybe because of injuries.
Rodriguez has endured some significant injuries, including a broken ankle late in 2011 and a broke thumb, which cost him a month-and-a-half, in 2012. At the very least, those injuries didn't help his development and may have dragged down his physical tools. In that spirit, it may be telling that he stole 33 bases in 2010 and 30 in 2011, but only 8 in 2012, his first season back after the ankle injury. As a prospect, Rodriguez was already marginal in a number of areas and, whether or not injuries played a part, his development has stalled.
In 2012, Henry piled up the frequent flier miles, making stops at the rookie Arizona League, double-A Pensacola, triple-A Louisville, and a quick cup of coffee at the major league level.
|Courtesy: Unknown
He logged only 18 PAs in the Arizona League, a stop made as part of his rehab for the broken thumb. For double-A, he hit .348/.385/.439/.824 with 2 homers and an 18/9 K/BB ratio over 144 plate appearances. His performance level took a hit when he reached triple-A, as he hit .244/.264/.333/.597 with 3 homers and an atrocious 35/6 K/BB ratio over 221 plate appearances. Regardless, it earned him a cup of coffee in the majors, where he posted a .214/.313/.285/.598 line with a 2/2 K/BB ratio over 16 plate appearances.
Overall, it was an uneven season for Rodriguez. He seemed to hit the wall between double-A and triple-A, which is somewhat surprising given that the jump to double-A is usually considered the most difficult and he handled that one well. However, triple-A is frequently populated by older players with MLB experience, so maybe it's not surprising that his K/BB ratio plummeted when facing more experienced pitchers who have a greater understanding of how to exploit overly aggressive hitters.
Rodriguez is a switch-hitter. His mechanics are solid from both sides of the plate, which when paired with his good hand-eye coordination gives him a solid hit-tool and the ability to consistently put the barrel on the ball. Even so, the problem that Rodriguez faces is twofold. He doesn't support his hit-tool with on-base ability and his smaller stature limits his ability to generate power, leaving him as something of an "empty batting average" type hitter.
|Courtesy: Unknown
Pre-pitch from the left-side, Rodriguez has a very open stance and holds his hands up high by his left ear. He actually uses two variations of his stride. In one version, he uses a two-part stride. The first part is a step towards the plate, landing on just the toe, to close up his stance, before striding forward to transfer the weight and meet the pitch. In the other version, he uses one continuous motion for his stride. Using more of a leg-kick stride, he draws his front foot back, lingering in the air for a moment, before striding forward to meet the pitch. The former leaves him less susceptible to being fooled by offspeed pitches, while the latter likely generates a touch more power.
Pre-pitch from the right-side, Rodriguez again uses an open stance, but holds his hands lower than he does from the left-side. His stride is similar to the one continuous motion stride he uses from the left-side. He uses leg-kick type stride, drawing his foot back, lingering in the air for a moment, before striding forward to transfer the weight and meet the pitch.
From both sides, in order to generate load, he draws his hands back and down into hitting position and turns his front hip inward as he strides forward. At his best, he buries his back elbow in close to his back hip until reaching the point of contact and generates sufficient lower body rotation to drive up on his back toe, getting good extension despite a fairly compact swing. At his worst, his high leg-kick stride gets him out on the front foot, leaving him with minimal lower body rotation in his swing and forcing him to reach for the pitch with nothing more than an arm swing.
Rodriguez doesn't have plus bat speed, but his swing path is a slight upper-cut which should maximize the size of his contact zone. He uses his hands well in the swing, allowing him to make consistent, hard contact. However, his smaller stature and shorter levers make it difficult for him to generate leverage and power. His swing is more fluid and natural from the left-side, but more powerful from the right side. Overall, he's solid from both sides of the plate, which would should enable him to avoid a significant platoon split and remain a viable option from both sides of the plate.
Here's a look at Rodriguez courtesy of RedsMinorLeagues on YouTube:
At the Major League Level, the Reds could use another professional hitter or two. Players with plus hit-tools in the mold of in their primes Placido Polanco, Martin Prado, or Billy Mueller. The former two never brought much OBP to the table, but they more than made up for it with very strong hit-tools that allowed them to post consistently high batting averages. Unfortunately, despite several seasons of .300+ batting averages, it looks like Henry's hit-tool and production are going to fall short of that level, which makes his limitations in other areas all the more glaring.
The Reds have a choice with Henry Rodriguez. Play him at third where he's a tick below average. Or, play him at second where he's well below average. Whichever they choose, he just doesn't generate much defensive value.
|Courtesy: Christian Petersen/Getty Images
At second, Rodriguez just doesn't have the necessary range, nor does he acquit himself well around the bag. At third, his range is less of a problem, but his arm isn't great. Given his solid speed, it's surprising that it hasn't better translated to his range in the field.
In fact, it's surprising that he isn't a better defensive player overall, as he does have good athleticism. But, his instincts aren't great, leading to poor reads off the bat and underwhelming range. Further, his hand actions aren't great, as his conversion rate on the balls-in-play that he reaches isn't strong. Over his minor league career, he has a lackluster .971 fielding percentage over 1619 chances at second base and a .932 fielding percentage over 380 chances at third base.
Some scouts have questioned Rodriguez's focus in the field and openly questioned whether his defensive problems are more the result of questionable makeup than a lack of athleticism.
At one time, Rodriguez looked like a potential league average starter at the MLB level, but his positive attributes have fallen off, while his negative attributes haven't improved. It's not too late for him to improve, especially if lingering injuries are causing the decline in his performance level, but at this point his ceiling is looking more like that of a utility infielder than a legitimate MLB starter.
The Reds could use another player with a pure hit-tool, as their MLB lineup is lacking in that area. At one time, Rodriguez was on a development path that would have landed him in the majors this year, but his development has stalled, calling into question whether he'll be able to regain his footing and reclaim an MLB career.
For now, he checks in at #23 on the list.

There are two types of commonly employed functional and semantic
definitions of the formation. First, when referring to taxis3-
aspect-tense-mood (TATM) properties, the gram has most frequently
been equaled with a past (definite past or preterite) or perfective
past (other proposals, on the contrary, identify the gram
with a present tense and imperfective aspect^ for a general review
of descriptions posited by temporal, aspectual, historicalcomparative
and psychological schools, as well as those offered by
the first generation of grammaticalization framework, consult footnote
4 below). Other theories (especially, those developed by the
syntactical approach) have adjoined a value of sequentiality to the
TATM load of the construction. Second, when emphasizing its
discourse pragmatic characteristics—and disregarding TATM values—the
expression has been classified as a principal form (foreground)
of the narrative backbone. However, the two descriptions
are reductionist and greatly simplify the nature and substance of the
The former ignores or minimizes the fact that (as will be indicated
in section 2) the formation provides not one but a broad
range of uses and hence cannot be reduced to a single value such as
past or perfective past. Nor is it appropriate to understand such
frequently proposed labels (i.e. past or perfective past) as überfunctions
from which other meanings are derivable, i.e. hardly can
the use of the formation with a future or stative present force be
explained as a realization of its past or past perfective value (cf.
section on 3.1 and the discussion on a dynamic vision of synchronic
grammatical phenomena). As for the discourse-pragmatic classification
(principal narrative construction), it is reductionistic in the
sense that it ignores the evident semantic content of the gram as
well as the fact that the formation expresses determined temporal
and aspectual meanings, entailing a failure to denote others. This
means that to account for the entire nature and behavior of the
wayyiqtol is neither easy nor straightforward and that, in particular, it
cannot be swept under simplifying reductionistic definitions, such
as a past, a perfective past or a narrative form. There furthermore
exists a third group of descriptions which, although highly valuable,
are limited to a mere taxonomy (cf. e.g., Waltke & O'Connor 1990
in footnote 3). They introduce a detailed—not reductionistic—
account of the semantic content of the construction without, however,
providing an explanation for it: they fail to account for the
relation between uses of the gram and its internal consistency.4
