Minnie Driver has had quite the career, and she's done so rather quietly. She's racked up nominations for an Emmy ("The Riches"), Golden Globe ("The Riches"), a SAG Award ("Good Will Hunting") and an Oscar ("Good Will Hunting"). Now she's in the awards race again with NBC's "About a Boy" and a new drama airing on Lifetime this Saturday. Driver has better odds for her turn as Maggie Royal in Lifetime's event film "Return to Zero." Based on director Sean Hanish's personal experience with losing a child, the heart-wrenching film marks the network's first global premiere this Saturday, May 17th.
Driver took a few minutes to talk to Indiewire about the difficulties involved with making the feature, her love of "About a Boy," and why an Emmy would matter not only to her, but everyone who supported the film.
"Return to Zero" was partially funded through Kickstarter. How did that come about?
We made it as an independent film for nothing over a very short amount of time. As with most independent films, a point before we finished we ran out of money. Well, actually, it was post-production funds. We spent those while we were shooting. So they started this Kickstarter campaign, and the people who contributed were all families who had lost children. The cool thing that Lifetime is doing, which makes me so very happy, is they're crawling every single one of those people's names and the names of the children they lost at the end of the film. There is something, I don't know -- I don't like it when actors aggrandize or consider themselves big spokespeople for things, but occasionally you do stuff that will impact the lives of people who've suffered and maybe offer up some comfort. I think it is a beautiful memorial to those people, and, from what I've heard, it's been so wonderfully received and so gratefully received by these big communities of people who've lost kids. It's kind of turned into something amazing. I knew it was going to be tough, but it was far more selfish to begin with.

A lot of the comments I've seen on the film's website and Facebook page relate to that. People sharing stories of their own experiences and the director of "Return to Zero" also sharing his own experience.
I think that's how people -- honestly, from what I've realized from people I've spoken to and what I've observed, it's telling a story and having someone listen to you and not walk away from what is so hard that has helped people be able to deal with their grief. In this particular situation, it's very strange because, you know, I know people who've lost spouses or have lost friends, and it's not necessarily talking about it that helps, but in this instance, telling the story and knowing the story is being heard -- I think it's to do with the fact that it's like the child's life wasn't in vain. It meant something. They are remembered, even that their life was brief and only in utero. They mattered and they were loved. It's been a great sort of meditation on being a person, and not just as an actor. Because as an actor, it's been the hardest thing I've ever done, ever, in my life.
Portraying this person with the director there, on set, as the person who went through it, had to be a difficult task to take on.
It was bizarre. It was utterly surreal. We had long conversations about that to begin with because I said, "Sean, how, when it comes down to it and you're directing me in these scenes, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be much help to you, like me, Minnie, to you Sean, as a friend, because I'm going to be so deep in there. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be coming up for breath. So how are you going to be able to deal? He was like, "I don't know. All I know is I want to tell the story and believe that I can, that there's a power in telling it." And I was fully prepared for him to have some sort of giant meltdown, which never happened. I think it must have been so hard for him, but he was just consummately professional without being shut down or cold.
There's a lot of trust there.
I am not a method actor. I don't go into stuff and just stay there. You go bonkers. You go mad. I mean, look at the actors, I'm sorry, but the actors that do...they...it's very hard to do that and stay, well, certainly to stay a functioning parent, I've found. In this, I didn't really come out of it the time we were shooting. I was sort of in that head space. I would come home at night and get into bed with my son and just stare at him and listen to him breathing for hours, just trying to calm down and stop my head from going crazy about the eventual outcomes that could happen.
READ MORE: The Emmy Debate - Should Voters Consider the Number of Episodes?
Whatever you did must have worked. You're getting some early Emmy buzz for your performance.
That would be so amazing. That would just make my everything.
Oh my God. Are you kidding? To do something that -- you just know it took everything. That wasn't just, "Oh, I'm a movie star or I'm an actor and I'll just show up and do my job," or, you know, have someone do a big campaign for them. To do something, for nothing, with all your heart and soul with everyone else doing it for nothing with all their heart and soul, to have that recognized, to me that is utterly triumphant, as an artist. That sounds a bit a pretentious...
You hear both sides of it from those in contention, and it's always hard for me to believe people when they say they don't care about the awards. It still brings attention to the work as a whole.
It does. It completely does. Listen, it's not a life or death situation, but it's certainly an acknowledgement of the work you do. It's not the most important thing, but gosh -- it sure is nice. It sure is validating. If you're going to go do that stuff anyway, and I am -- I mean, I did a movie with Phillip Seymour Hoffman that like five people saw, and he should've been nominated for an Oscar, in my opinion. I would go back and make that tomorrow knowing only five people would see it. You're always going to do it, so then if it gets discovered by an audience or awards wise then it's just amazing gravy.
Some actors are getting fed up with working in independent film because simply not enough people are seeing them. Is that something you consider when taking on a project?
Well, here's the thing. So we make this movie for nothing: what's the best case scenario? The best case scenario is it gets picked up by an independent distributor and it gets shown in two cinemas in Los Angeles and two cinemas in New York for precisely two weeks, and maybe, if you're lucky, 3,000 people see the film. With this, this simulcast that I know Lifetime has never done before, millions of people are going to see this, which, if you're a storyteller and that's what you want, you want to share the stories you tell and let them sort of have a legacy. It's like if a tree falls in the forest. If I'm telling a story and no one listens to it, it's still a story [laughs]. So at some point going, it's fantastic that you make something and millions of people are going to see it, as opposed to sometimes actors get caught up, and I think it's changed a lot now, the whole notion of, "I'm a film actor, and that's what I do." Bollocks. You're an actor. Go make things that people see. Find your audience. Share those stories. Sure, we'd all like to be Meryl Streep and Brad Pitt and make big movies and that's great. It's fantastic, and it's a beautiful notion that's always going to be there. But for most actors, it's not that. You've got to work. You've got to keep doing your thing and keep being good. [...] You know, I'm on a show where I love to go to work every day. It cracks me up. It makes me laugh. It makes me happy. It's such a good version of my life.
But "About a Boy" has a platform and is being seen. How does that compare to something that's strugging to get viewers?
Believe me. I've thought about it. Surely as an actor, that is kind of like the ultimate -- like what you'd hope for. It's like an actor who makes an independent movie and they get nominated for an award and maybe they win. The sort of one-two punch is that now they go and do maybe a "Hunger Games" type movie and it makes a billion dollars at the box office, and they're really good in it as well. Then they've got this sort of one-two thing. I sort of look at "About a Boy" and then "Return to Zero," and that's what you kind of hope for as an actor. You get to play, absolutely. You're not forcing it. It's not difficult. It's not a stretch. It's just you doing your thing at completely opposite ends of the spectrum. You get to flex your muscles, you know?
Would it be better to get recognized for one over the other?
I care very differently and deeply about each project. I mean, obviously there's a lot of intimate pain around "Return to Zero" because it's my friend and the director's story and he and his wife. Me portraying that felt like a responsibility I'd never had before. And also it was an emotional place I've never been to in my life. Like in my real life. That was fucking unchartered territory. I didn't know what that looked like. How do you do that? How do you do a stillbirth scene? How do you do that? You can't read a book. You can't practice it. You can't figure it out. You can sort of be present with the awful realization of what is happening. So there's that, and then there's "About a Boy," which I love. It is so brilliantly conceived and executed. It is so well written, and for a network show, it gets to have enough of an edge that it's not just pummeling the audience with saccharine. I feel like it's vital, and it's interesting.
So with "About a Boy," you'd seen the movie before you started?
Tons. I'd seen the movie a hundred times and read the book a hundred times. I've just seen it. It's in my life. It's one of my go-to films I watch on a Sunday afternoon.
I can't turn it off.
I can't either. "Tootsie" is my other go-to I can't turn off. [...] But it's a bit of a perfect storm. These things happening at once, and I couldn't be happier because I think they're both really deserving. You often do stuff, and you know why you did it. If it doesn't work out, you're like, "Yeah, you know..." and you're sort of stretching for the things you want to say positively about it. But the reality with both of these, it's not a stretch.
Do you have any thoughts on where you want your character to end up on "About a Boy?"
I want her to go to jail. I want her to get arrested for some sort of environmental [cause]. I'm constantly pitching them, "Wouldn't it be funny with David [Walton] and Ben [Stockham] on the phone with her, and David being like, 'I never thought it would be you!'" We're constantly pitching ideas. I think they thought she needed to have more of an outside life [at first], but I think it's turned out it's much more fun watching their lives intertwine, David's character and mine. But we'll see. It's going to be a very great slow burn between them.

NFL veterans robbed Cameron Newton to pay Olindo Mare
Olindo Mare gets paid to kick footballs, not to predict the future. So cut him some slack for being wide right on one projection. In March, he said that he would give a hometown discount to Seattle.
I think that whole highest bid thing for me is not quite as important with the four kids.... [On whether he would give Seattle a hometown discount] Oh, absolutely. For sure. I would be stupid not to. The Seahawks gave me an opportunity. I always take that into consideration also. But we'll see. I have to get a offer first.... What would be great would be is if there was a bunch and it would show that people appreciate what you do, and that's always flattering. Just to get all your options available. If you signed [for] three, four, five years, that would be your last contract. You want to make sure that everything was done right. But yeah, Seattle will definitely get a home discount.
Mare was operating under the assumption that a few teams would pay him market salaries and he'd sign with Seattle if they were in the same ballpark. In 2008, he signed a two-year contract for $3.25 million, good money for a 35-year-old kicker. Seattle didn't want to give a long-term contract to a 37-year-old placekicker, so they franchised him for the 2010 season, electing to pay him $2.8 million for one year instead of giving him a contract extension. Presumably, in the spring of 2011, Mare was hoping for something along the lines of a three-year, six million dollar deal. That would be a bump over what he signed three years earlier in both years and per-year value, and would be a coup for a 38-year-old kicker.

2011 Free Agent Tracking
Now that the NFL is back to business as usual, we've added a free agent tracker with a list of current free agents to be updated as signings happen. The chart lists each player's career AV plus his AV over the last three years & is sortable if you want a quick look at who's the best player available (as long as your definition of "available" includes the perpetually-rumored-to-be-going-somewhere Brett Favre).

The owners and players may still be struggling to agree on a CBA, but we're definitely ready for some football. Our new programmer Mike Kania has been hard at work for the past nine weeks, and here are some of the new site features he has implemented today:
- A better, faster navigation system along the top of all pages (roll-over the "[+]" to expand the menu and get more choices).
- Fixes to various bugs, especially with regard to Approximate Value.
- Row summation for player gamelogs -- click the rows of any two games, and we'll display the total stats accumulated over that span.
There's a lot more to come, so stay tuned. And be sure to email us if you have any questions or comments about the site.

Adelante students put in extra effort to collect cans
The pizza party may have something to do with the three students' efforts.
For about five hours over the course of two nights, the Adelante High School students went door-to-door in Roseville neighborhoods asking for canned food. The class that collects the most cans gets treated to a pizza party, courtesy of the campus's Interact Club and leadership class.
But, mainly, the teens just wanted to help out families in need. They've so far collected more than 200 cans of food, which will go to St. Vincent dePaul in Roseville.
"(We did it) so families have stuff to eat this holiday season," said Nick Cameron.
Cameron, 18, led the effort, which began Monday night as he sat around his house. He Facebook messaged friend Amanda Wallace, 17, and asked if she wanted to collect food with him. She agreed and they went to the Diamond Oaks neighborhood because it looks "rich," they said.
"Then we went to a gated community and got twice as many cans as the other community," Wallace said. "That's because when you are in a gated community, they think you live there, too."
The following night, the pair asked friend Vinny Contreras, 18, to join as they knocked on doors in the Morgan Creek neighborhood. Contreras said most residents were receptive to their request — one lady even let him use her restroom.
"It gives other families something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving," Contreras said of their efforts.
The students hauled in six boxes of cans to show their social studies teacher Heather McQueen, who "freaked out" when she saw the large amount, according to Cameron.
Leadership teacher Katie Palatinus said it's unusual for students to go and collect cans. Most just buy some from the store or bring items from home.
"They put in that extra effort," Palatinus said.

PCC's Clark Wins Women's 100 At Season-Opening Cerritos Track Invite
Breanna Clark raced a 12.40 seconds time to win the 100 meters to highlight the Pasadena City College women's track and field team's season opener at Saturday's rain-shortened Cerritos Invitational meet. A sophomore, Clark was a repeat winner in the 100, winning last year's Cerritos meet in 12.42 seconds.
Only 14 events were completed at the Norwalk meet before officials ended the event early due to impending storm warnings.
Clark is one of just a few individuals left of a PCC women's program that has nearly a completely new roster under first-year head coach in Cedric Hill, who made his Lancers' debut in directing both the college's men's and women's teams. Hill is assisted by distance runners coach Armand Crespo and long-time track jumper specialist coach Pat Williams.
As a freshman, Clark won a third place medal in the 4x100 relay at the '13 CCCAA State Championships as a freshman when she raced with 100 and 200 state champion and teammate Omhunique Browne. Browne was not eligible to race with PCC this season. The Lancers placed ninth at the state meet, the last directed by then head coach Larry Wade, who resigned his position in the off season.
In the 1,500 meters, the Lancers placed five runners in the top 10. In order, sophomore Kailadnni Chavez took fourth place (5:23.40), freshman Crystal Yanez fifth (5:25.35), frosh Ashley Medina seventh (5:26.28), first-year Tansica Sunkamaneevongse eighth (5:26.32), and Edna Bailon 10th (5:31.51).
Sophomore Yvette Bastidas was ninth in the shot put at 9.66 meters while freshman Bianca Addison took 14th in the discus throw at 13.42 meters.
The PCC men's track and field team saw competition for the first time in '14 at the Cerritos Invitational. In the 400 meters, freshman Vince Ogbehi won the third heat and was seventh overall in a time of 52.58 seconds.
Freshman Nathan Wolitarsky placed seventh in the shot put in 12.71 meters and was 12th in the discus (34.16 meters). In the 1,500 meters, sophomore Brendan Greene took 13th at 4:26.22.

Sounds like excess pressure, but maybe some other factors should be considered. What was the outside temperature? Did you leave your gun and/or ammo in the sun before, or between shooting? Did you load a round into a warm/hot gun and leave it there for a period of time before firing? All of these, including minimum headspace and short chamber leade can cause excess pressure. The copper bullets are notoriously long for their weight(s), and may not be compatible with your gun in this weight. You could always try a lighter bullet (which Barnes recommends) than you normally shoot, as it will be shorter in length.
Barnes is in the process of pressure testing that lot of ammunition as we speak. Waiting for their response. It was about 65 degrees that day and gun and ammo were out of the Sun. I really feel that it was the ammo, as stated earlier I had no issue with Nosler Custom loads with the same bullet weight, muzzle velocity, etc.
The spurs are on my Ocellated and were just slightly over 2 inches. It was in the top 5 of the NWTF Records at the time I harvested it. Not sure where it is now.

QEP Resources (NYSE:QEP) recent acquisition of additional acreage exposed to the Bakken play in North Dakota increases the company's leverage to this popular and fast-growing resource play and makes the company one of many operators to bet on the future productivity and viability of the Bakken.
Investopedia Broker Guides: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers.
What Are They Buying?
QEP Resources plans to purchase 27,600 net acres in the Williston Basin for $1.38 billion. The properties are located in Williams and McKenzie counties in North Dakota, fairly close to the company's core acreage. The properties have both developed and undeveloped acreage and have current production of 10,500 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day.
QEP Resources estimates the acreage contains net proved and probable reserves of approximately 125 million BOE, with approximately 90% of the reserves composed of oil and other liquids. The company will finance the acquisition with cash and an existing credit facility. Black Hills Corp (NYSE:BKH) is one of the sellers in the deal and will receive $243 million for 85% of the company's Bakken properties. The company estimates that it will record a capital gain from $20 million to $40 million on the sale.
SEE: Oil And Gas Industry Primer
During a conference call held to discuss the purchase, the management of QEP Resources discussed the reasons for the purchase. The properties are located in a "black oil" basin where the liquids component is crude oil rather than condensate or natural gas liquids. The deal also fit in with the company's strategic goal of increasing its liquids reserves and production. The acreage was also contiguous to existing properties held by QEP Resources, allowing the company to leverage economies of scale in its operations.
Balance Sheet Impact
Most of the acquisition will be funded with debt and this will obviously increase the company's leverage. The company estimates that net debt will reach $3.2 billion after the purchase, up from $1.7 billion, while net debt to book capital will be 48%, up from 34%. QEP said that this level of debt is above its long term goal and that it would look for an opportunity to reduce leverage, possibly through a divestiture. The company also told investors not to expect a dilutive transaction assuring them that selling equity was "last thing you should expect us to do."
Previous Position
QEP Resources already had a substantial position prior to the acquisition and held 90,000 net acres with proved reserves of 43.2 million BOE as of the end of 2011. The company estimates that it had 420 gross locations into the Bakken and Three Forks before the most recent purchase and could earn a 10% before tax rate of return assuming oil prices of $65 per barrel.
SEE: 5 Biggest Risks Faced By Oil And Gas Companies
Like most other exploration and production companies, QEP Resources has shifted capital spending over the last few years away from dry gas and towards crude oil and liquids. In 2012, the company plans to spend only 9% of its capital on natural gas properties, compared to 84% in 2009.
Other Acquisitions
The industry has been active over the last year in buying acreage exposed to the Bakken formation. Northern Oil and Gas (NYSE:NOG) and Kodiak Oil and Gas (NYSE:KOG) operate exclusively in the Bakken or Three Forks and purchased additional acreage at the end of 2011. Kodiak Oil and Gas has budgeted $585 million in capital spending in 2012 to develop its properties, while Northern Oil and Gas will spend $387 million during the year.
Some investors have speculated that Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) is considering a large acquisition as the company has been building up its cash on its balance sheet. The company reported $21.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2012, compared to total debt of $10.2 billion.
SEE: Investing In Oil And Gas UITs
The Bottom Line
Many exploration and production companies are trying to grow the production of oil and other liquids and are targeting the Bakken formation in the Williston Basin. Investors that wish exposure to this play have many different choices available but need to be confident that high oil prices are here to stay.
At the time of writing, Eric Fox did not own shares in any of the companies mentioned in this article.

Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells (ECFCs)
ECFCs are progenitors of endothelial cells that circulate in peripheral blood. ECFCs have enormous potential in Regenerative Medicine because they can generate large amounts of autologous ECs for vascular therapies. We specialize in the biology of human ECFCs derived from umbilical cord blood and adult peripheral blood. We are currently studying several aspects of ECFCs:

Bioengineering Vascular Networks
Vascular networks are central to the functioning of most tissue. We use a two-cell approach to bioengineer human vascular networks in vivo. In our model, human blood-derived ECFCs are combined with human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in a biocompatible hydrogel and injected subcutaneously into immunodeficient mice where they form an organized vascular network that joins with the mouse vasculature. This model is ideally suited for studies on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of human vascular network formation and for developing strategies to vascularize tissues. VIDEO

Goldman Furiously Selling Spanish Government Bonds To Clients As Its Fourth "Top Trade For 2013"
Yesterday we presented Goldman's first 3 Top Trades for 2013 as they come out, while also noting Goldman's recent disfatuation (sic) with gold. Today, we present Goldman's 4th Top Trade for 2013, which is, drumroll, to go long Spanish Government Bonds, specifically, the 5 year, which should be bought at a current yield of 4.30%. with a target of 3.50% and a stop loss of 5.50%. This reco comes out after the SPGB complex has already enjoyed unprecedented gains - but not driven by economic improvement, far from it - but merely on the vaporware threat of ECB OMT intervention. Of course, once the "threat of intervention" moves to "fact of intervention", everything will promptly unwind as it always does (QE was far more potent as a stock boost when it was merely a daily threat: the market's peak not incidentally occurred the day after Bernanke dropped his entire load: one simply can't move beyond infinity). And with Spain's massive bond buying cliff in Q1 2013, the days its bailout could be postponed are coming to an end.
So to summarize Goldman's posture heading into 2013: very bullish and optimistic (just as it was in December 2010 when we called them out, and months before Goldman was forced to admit it was dead wrong - as it will be this time again), while the Fed has to grow its balance sheet by $1 trillion and as the world is rapidly moving not only into a recession but with tax rates set to increase across the developed world scale. As a result, Goldman is furiously selling to clients (who are buying these up as per the Top Trades) such derivative instruments as Spanish Government Bonds, while urgently buying (clients are selling) gold. Because remember: every "Top Trade" from Goldman has two parties, and Goldman's flow-prop desk is always on the other side.
Full note from Goldman's recently promoted partner (in Goldman you make partner when you make lots of money for the firm) Fransceco Garzarelli:
Top Trade #4: Long Spanish Sovereign Bonds
- Today's Daily reveals our fourth Top Trade recommendation for 2013: Go long benchmark 5-year Spanish Government Bonds...
- ....at the current yield of 4.30% with a target of 3.50% and stops on a close above 5.50%.
- The expected un-levered total return on the trade is about 8% on a 1-year investment horizon.
- Around two-thirds of the expected return is provided by coupon and roll-down.
- For a more conservative expression of the trade, we recommend that investors 'cover' long exposure in Spanish sovereign bonds with CDS on the Kingdom of Spain.
- A more 'aggressive' implementation of the Top Trade involves leveraging the view along the duration (longer maturities) or credit dimensions (regional debt).
- If the Spanish government adopts a reactive approach in asking for external financial assistance to the ESM….
- ….SPGBs may fall in price before eventually rallying on ECB interventions.
1. Overview
US data published yesterday were marginally better than expected, with the ISM non-manufacturing index for November up to 54.7, against a consensus of 53.5. The details of the report were generally solid, except for the weakening in the employment sub-component. The ADP employment report recorded a 118K gain in private employment. ADP estimates that Hurricane Sandy reduced the print by 86k. We maintain our +75K forecast for November payrolls, to be released on December 8.
Overnight, the Central Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) left the policy rate unchanged at 2.5% in line with our view and the consensus. In response to recent weak data, the RBNZ has downgraded its near-term growth and inflation forecasts. However, the statement made it clear that the RBNZ is focusing on the medium term, and was more hawkish that we anticipated. We continue to see only a gradual tightening cycle, with the first hike from 1Q2014.
Today, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England hold their monthly policy meetings. In line with consensus, we do not expect changes to the policy rates or to the unconventional policy measures of the two central banks. In terms of data, Q3 Euro area GDP will be released this morning. We expect a -0.1% quarterly contraction in real terms. In the US, initial jobless claims will offer more information on the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the economic outlook for the near term.
Finally, a GS client survey of expectations for the upcoming Fed moves reveals that the majority of the 266 respondents expect Fed bond purchases to continue at a pace of US$85bn per month through the end of 2013, but project purchases to continue through early-2015 at a reduced pace of $50bn per month. As to the market impact, investors appear to be very polarized between those who think the extension of QE will steepen the curve (in the 5-year to 30-year maturities), and those who expect a flattening. The 5-to-7-year maturity bucket will remain pivotal. In our opinion, the term premium beyond 2015 (3-year forward) is too depressed: the forwards price 50bp hikes per annum in both 2016 and 2017.
2. Introducing our Fourth Top Trade Recommendation for 2013
Our baseline macroeconomic projections for 2013 feature: (i) another year of ultra-low rate policy by the major central banks, and purchases of government bonds by the Fed, the ECB and the BoJ; and (ii) further progress by the fiscal authorities in reducing 'tail risks' to economic growth (e.g., the 'fiscal cliff' in the US, funding segmentation in EMU).
Mapping these characteristics of the forecast set into financial asset prices we conclude that: (i) low (and slowly rising) benchmark government yields will depress expected returns in publicly traded pro-cyclical securities, such as credit and stocks, and (ii) deeper direct interventions by central banks in asset markets will mitigate return variance.
It is in this broad context that we introduce today the fourth of our Top Trade recommendations for 2013: long Spanish 5-year benchmark government bonds, looking for an 8% unlevered annualized return, following a (very volatile) 5% return in the year to date. As with our recommendation to go long US High Yield, we expect returns to come primarily from coupon and roll-down rather than from price appreciation.
3. Long Benchmark 5-year Spanish Government Bonds, Yield Target 3.5%, Expected Return 8%
On November 20, we initiated a recommendation to go long Spanish vs. Italian 5-year government bonds, opened at 99bp, with an initial target of 40bp and a stop on a close above 130bp. The trade is currently at 96bp, reflecting a decline of about 40bp in both 5-year Spanish and Italian yields. We now recommend dropping the short Italy leg of the trade and would position outright long of 5-year Spanish Government Bonds at the current yield of 4.30% with a target of 3.50% and stops on a close above 5.50%.
Although this trade may appear to clash with our central expectation of a further contraction in Spain's real GDP in the first half of next year, its rationale rests on the following points:
- According to our valuation metrics and our economic projections for 2013, the yield differential between Spanish and German government bonds is around 1 standard deviation too high (or 40bp-60bp) in maturities between 3- and 10-years. It is important to note that the econometric framework from which these valuations are derived incorporates a 'trend' variable, which could switch from representing a headwind into a tailwind in 2013. Further, our estimates do not account for the potentially virtuous loopback effect between lower borrowing costs and economic/fiscal performance.
- The Spanish government needs to fund roughly EUR230-260bn next year, half of which through its SPGB bond program (about the same as in 2012). Our central assumption is that around a fifth of the borrowing requirement will be met by the ESM through long-term loans or participation in syndicated deals (for reference, the maximum Spain can draw under an Enhanced Conditions Credit Line is around EUR100bn). The ESM funds are likely to be pari passu to existing debt, mitigating concerns over subordination. The ECB's open market interventions through the Outright Monetary Transactions framework in maturities up to 3-years should help to subdue return volatility - which is key to re-attracting long-term foreign investors to the market .
- European policymakers have shown a preference for allocating capital losses on legacy assets held by Spanish regional banks onto existing bank creditors rather than saddling the government with more contingent liabilities. The prospective transformation of Euro area official sector loans to support bank recapitalizations into bank equity will work in the same direction.
Using a 1-year investment horizon, the expected un-levered total return on the trade is in the region of 8%, around two-thirds of which provided by coupon and roll-down.
4. Variations on the Theme
Investors concurring with our fundamental analysis but looking for a more conservative expression of the trade can consider 'covering' long exposure in Spanish sovereign bonds with CDS. As we argued on November 8 (see: Global Markets Daily, 'Can the EMU Sovereign Bonds-CDS Basis Normalize?'), Spanish 5- and 10-year bond yields are on average 250bp over the corresponding maturity EUR-denominated sovereign CDS on the Kingdom of Spain. We expect this 'basis' to gradually normalize.
A more 'aggressive' implementation of the Top Trade involves leveraging the view along the duration or credit dimensions:
- The term structure of Spanish yields is very steep compared with that in the 'core' EMU countries, particularly in maturities between 1-year and 5-years. This is the segment of the yield curve where we expect the biggest spread compression in an environment of low policy rates. Alongside 'maturity habitat' considerations, this is the reason why we have decided to express the trade recommendation in the 5-year sector. Extending the maturity of the position could potentially result in a larger capital appreciation. For example, a 30-year Spanish bond trades in the low 80s, or a yield close to 6%. Going by our estimates for German yields and spread changes, we could potentially see Spanish bonds at this maturity trading at most with a 5% y-t-m by end 2013, resulting in returns between 15% and 20%. The risk to this strategy resides in the uncertainties surrounding possible shifts in seniority following the introduction of bonds carrying collective action clauses. And, more broadly, developments in the structure of European sovereign debt altogether, as discussions on a European Debt Redemption Fund progress.
- At the sub-national level, Spanish regional government bonds also offer an interesting risk-reward opportunity. The Regional Liquidity Fund (Fondo de Liquidez Autonómica , or FLA) set up by Spain's central authorities in mid-2012 currently assists with the deficit funding and refinancing needs of 9 autonomous communities (out of a total of 17), including three of the main regions that have tapped international bond markets (Andalucia, Catalunya and Valencia). Regions borrow from the FLA at 30bp over the Kingdom's cost of funds in exchange for fiscal conditionality. Such explicit support, now extended into 2013, substantially reduces short-term funding shortfall concerns and improves the regions' overall credit quality. For reference, the Community of Madrid, which has retained market access, currently borrows at levels of around 250bp over 5-year SGGPs. Investors should however consider that liquidity in this segment of the market is low.
5. Risks to the Trade Recommendation
We have recommended being long Spain at the local price lows in November, and admittedly the entry point is currently no longer as attractive. Nevertheless, if our assumptions on the broader investment landscape are anywhere close to the mark, relatively high coupons in a liquid government bond market potentially backstopped by the ECB should be in demand.
The main risks to the trade revolve around the difficulties the Spanish authorities could encounter placing government bonds in the issuance-heavy first quarter of 2013, especially amid ongoing economic uncertainty. Should the Spanish authorities adopt a 'reactive' approach in asking for external financial assistance (i.e., applying for an Enhanced Conditions Credit Line from the ESM), SPGBs may fall in price before eventually rallying back on ECB's interventions. A downgrade by one of the CRAs to below Investment Grade could amplify these pressures (Spain is currently rated Baa3, BBB minus, BBB by Moody's, S&P and Fitch respectively).
Whilst these are important considerations, we are of the view that such a scenario of spread widening in Q1 2013 is now the consensus. According to anecdotal information, positioning in Spanish bonds outside Spain is generally light, especially compared with that on Italian BTPs (foreigners currently hold 20% of the stock of Spanish debt, from a peak of 60% before the crisis). For reference, Spain's weight in 3-5-year benchmark EUR government bond portfolios is around 12%.
We have set a stop loss on the trade at 5.5%; on a 1-year holding horizon this would erase returns from 'carry'.

Those poor Muppets......gonna be even mo po now.
You know you're poor when you can't afford the "or" anymore.
Pay no attention to the stainless steel drains beneath you, and the men in splatterproof suits. We are here to satisfy you. Now, kindly keep the line moving towards the conveyor.
Any muppet that willingly does business with GS deserve whatever they get...One only hopes that the gold the muppets are selling is of the paper variety...But being the muppets GS clients are, that's pretty much assured.
Spanish bonds in my Wall Street casino...
Where do these people come from?
From Oz of course. Its a land where everything is possible .....water can be turned into wine and shit into caviar. The Wizard knows all. Just realize as a peep you should NEVER question the Wizard and NEVER pull the curtain back. Now back to the Today Show and CNBS.
Would they exchange toilet paper for Spanish bonds? That is about an equivalent exchange.
Sounds like a SHITTY deal!
Make sure you burn that email message before you go home Biff.
Andy Dick makes a comeback.
Or did you want me to stick to finance?
stupid is as stupid does!
Shitty Deals R Us...
Should be:
Goldman Furiously Selling Spanish Government Bonds To Muppets As Its Fourth "Top Trade For 2013"
So sell your gold and buy Spanish bonds?
Ok,and while your at it sell your medicine and buy A.I.D.S.
I almost did.....but in my hesitation I figured I was too late.
Wouldnt be easier to just raise rates? Less Jail time in that.
Let's see, loan $ to an entire region ready to go up in smoke. Brilliant.
Here is a great link that I think many of you could find beneficial. I am not getting paid to share this, I am doing you a favor.
If that perks your interests I invite you to continue along and read and sign the Non-Job Declaration of Independence.
I would also appreciate it if you could help get the word out. It's apparent by all the great articles here on ZH that we are indeed needing an alternative escape route from the madness of this system and this is a great approach to doing just that.
Is Goldman implying an OMT extension to 5 years and beyond or why do they suggest that the recommended 5 year bond will rally upon ECB intervention?
Not to mention that Spanish bonds have fully priced in the OMT.
If anyone follows Goldmans Top Trades or any other advice, they deserve to lose their money!
Could there possibly be a stronger buy signal for gold than this?
Gartman selling it has about an 80% chance of being the start of a major leg up at that very instant, 100% within a week.
You wont be in the trading business long if you buy it at 4.30 and anticipate selling versus a 3.50 target while you stop yourself at 5.50. You are willing to lose 120 basis to make 80. There must be a typo some where.
Didn't we already see this movie?
As I remember it poisoned lots of bank balance sheets and triggered widespread euroland capital flight.
Yesterday was their call to sell gold and now a recommendation to buy Spain's Bonds! They sure are funny!!
In Goldman's defense - anyone stupid enough to believe anything Goldman says deserves what they get.
We have set a stop loss on the trade at 5.5%
That translates into a 5.5% + profit for the squid....moar if you're not quick enough ;-)
You've got to be shitting me. Goldman Sachs still has clients. I can only imagine that the word dipshit was derived therefrom. They should be locked up for doing business with GS. Arrest that ugly M'Fer Blankfeind while you're at it.
Please hold these knives for a bit, kthxbye.
I'm callin' it: 5yr to 7.5% by Easter.
Another bend over order from our lord and masters, cause this can't have anything to do with what used to be called markets. Goldman doesn't need clients, it has bitchez.
Believe it or not, a recruiter for Goldman told me that they won't take you as a client unless you have a net worth of at least $15 million. Now that's one rich muppet!
Wow, if I had 15 million, I wouldn't want the Squid to even know about it!
to the rescue of squid bonuses!
I gotta get my Goldman online account set up. Anyone have the link?

BENTONVILLE, ARK. -- Black Friday numbers are already in from some major retailers. Wal-Mart said it served more than 22 million customers this year.
According to a release, Wal-Mart processed more than 10 million register transactions in its stores from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
What were Wal-Mart's top sellers nationwide? (online and in-stores)
- big screen televisions
- iPad mini
- Laptops
- Call of Duty Ghosts
Wal-Mart said it also sold 2.8 million towels, 2 million televisions, 1.4 million tablets, 300,000 bicycles and 1.9 million dolls.
Wal-Mart said SLR digital cameras and hand-held video games were some of the most popular items on walmart.com
"We said Black Friday is the Super Bowl of retail, we ran a play that only Wal-Mart could deliver and our customers loved it," said Bill Simon, president and CEO of Wal-Mart U.S. "Our Black Friday events were bigger, better, faster, cheaper and safer than ever. More customers chose us, we had the prices and products they were looking for, and we're not finished yet. Helping families get ready for a great Christmas - and get a lot of great deals while they're at it - is exactly what we're going to continue to do."
Wal-Mart also gave its hourly store associates $70 Million in holiday pay. That was given on top of quarterly bonuses that full and part-time store associates receive based on their store's third quarter performance.

Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus Posts Childhood Photo as Twitter Profile Pic — See Her Before Hannah Montana!
Miley Cyrus devotees may not recognize the 21-year-old when they see her new Twitter profile picture — it's a headshot from yesteryear, taken before she was a pop star, and before she was even Hannah Montana!
In case you only know her as the Party Queen-turned-Empress of the Twerk, Miley Ray Cyrus was actually born as Destiny Hope Cyrus on November 23, 1992 — named so because her parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus (who married a month after her birth), believed that she was fated for success.
Her sunny disposition as a tot inspired the nickname "Smiley," which was eventually shortened to "Miley." Miley later changed her middle name to "Ray" out of devotion to her grandfather, Billy Ray's father, Ronald Ray Cyrus.
After growing up on a 500-acre farm in Franklin, Tennessee, Miley set her sights on the bright lights of Hollywood and auditioned for Disney Channel's Hannah Montana.
And the rest is history! Miley has shed her clean-cut, Disney persona in surges — that haircut, that VMAS performance, that "Wrecking Ball" — but is now posting this image as her Twitter avatar either as a nostalgic reminder of her youth or as an ironic joke.
Do you miss her G-rated days, or are you basking in her new adult persona? Let us know in the comments below!

There's been yet another drive-by shooting in Kinston, the third one this week.
The latest happened Thursday afternoon in the 800 block of East Bright Street. Officers found three shell casings and one bullet broke an upstairs window of an apartment at 803 East King Street.
The shooting happened near a school and a Head Start center.
A witness told police he saw a man get into a gold Honda with three other men inside. No one was injured.
On Tuesday there were two drive-by shootings. The first happened around 10:30 a.m. in the 500 block of Thompson Street. A vehicle and a house were hit by the gunfire. That shooting happened about a block from an alternative school.
Then, about nine hours later shots were fired in the 800 block of Lincoln Street. In that shooting, one bullet came into the home through a window. At the time three people were inside and three outside on the porch. No one was hurt in that shooting either.
Police have not said if they believe the three shootings are related or not.


text: The human rights situation in Syria has deteriorated even further, with renewed government attacks on the civilian population: tanks have been shelling civilians in the city of Hama, with snipers aiming at anybody they can catch out on the streets in disaffected areas. In Libya, the hand of Islamist extremism has been suspected in the killing of rebel military commander General Younes. While Britain and its allies are tied down in Libya, in Syria Bashar al-Assad attacks his own people with ever-greater recklessness, prompting calls for a re-appraisal of the military intervention in Libya, which has no doubt encouraged al-Assad in his savagery against his own people. But if there had been no interevention in Libya, al-Assad would have been encouraged by the lack of Western interest to pursue his own course of repression in Syria. Turning a blind eye to the repression of innocent people is never an answer. And while Middle Eastern dictators bully their own people, in our own highly civilized country, a harmless mentally disabled woman has been tormented and killed by a group of young men and women posing as her friends. Gemma Hayter, living 'in the community' was befriended by a group of people who mocked and abused her, finally killing her in an escalating orgy of violence. But the trial judge – despite the offenders' misbehaviour in Court – summed up the case as 'a tragedy of young people' – in which group she included the murdered woman and also her murderers – 'the five hapless, undirected, unsupported individuals in the dock'. What a remarkable thing to say about an appallingly callous crime against a vulnerable person by a gang of able-bodied adults. Hapless they may have been, but if there is any justice in this world, hopefully they will soon be directed to a place of detention for a very long time. Or is the life of a disabled person worth less than a 'normal' member of the public? Has 'living in the community' become 'dying at the hands of the community'?

Personal Injury Law
Personal Injury Law Questions? Ask Personal Injury Lawyers.
Thank you for your question. Please allow me to assist you this afternoon.I am genuinely sorry to hear that your girlfriend's aunt is in this situation. Please allow me to provide you with some information that should help.In California a statute of limitations for medical malpractice has a 3 year statute from the date of injury, or 1 year from the date when the injury was discovered, whichever occurs first. But for foreign objects the statute is suspended and begins running from the date the object is discovered and gives you a year to file. This is therefore a valid claim.There is 'proper' procedure but you can (and will) demand copies of all her medical records and transcripts, and the victim, in writing, can demand that the doctor save the object so that she could take it home. Such a request is sufficient.Medical malpractice claims are typically done on contingency, meaning that there is no outright cost to the victim. To find a good medical malpractice attorney look for those who have medical professionals already on staff. Med-mal cases can be complex so you would want to focus on attorneys who potentially have a boutique firm or a god department that can assist with this suit.Good luck.

- A test that measures the amount of oxygen being carried by red blood cells. One method uses a device that shines light through a finger. The device measures the amount of oxygen in the blood based on the way red blood cells carrying oxygen absorb and reflect light. In another method blood is taken from an artery and the amount of oxygen is measured directly. An oxygen level that is lower than normal may be a sign of lung disease or other medical conditions.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Leaked by Xbox.com - NewsJared Katz, posted on 21 August 2014 / 1,602 Views
It seems that Capcom has more Resident Evil planned for us in the short term besides the HD remake of Resident Evil 1 that is coming next year. The French game news outlet Gamer in a Box spotted two interesting images on Xbox's official site, which should make most Resident Evil: Revelations fans happy. These were a Japanese boxart image for Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (a 360 version), and concept art for the game.
Shortly after that the information was picked up by bigger news outlets and the pictures quickly disappeared from Xbox.com. So far Capcom has kept silent when asked about these images and the existence of the game.
Hopefully we will get more information on the game's existence at TGS (Tokyo Game Show) in September.

Most steak houses cluster in midtown, catering to businessmen with corporate accounts. This meat lover"s mecca is set in Spanish Harlem, and is designed to appeal to locals. The food is hearty and the setting evokes the casual counter-style design of cuchifrito restaurants. Appetizers stick to the traditional steakhouse agenda: oysters, clams, shrimp and salad. But entrées and sides show Latin flavors, as in a house-special platter (grilled skirt steak and pork chop served with rice and beans and ripe sweet plantains) and rotisserie pork with apple-raisin relish.

According to details found in the Steam Database brought to light in this NeoGAF thread, the new patch that rolled out for Fallout 3 looks to have removed Game For Windows LIVE features from the game. According to the thread, variables with names like ShowCDKeyOnLaunch and LegacyKeyRegistryLocation have been removed, which is a good indication that the Microsoft gaming service is no longer supported by the game.
Of course, this makes sense because Microsoft pulled the plug on GFWL awhile ago, and games such as Ultra Street Fighter IV, BioShock 2, the Arkham series, and DiRT 3. Subsequent reinstallation of the game by multiple outlets shows that Games for Windows Live prompts are no longer part of the installation process.
Bethesda has not publicly commented on any of this.

If you live in Japan you already know that the government taxes games (and other physical goods) with a consumption tax that are imported from outside the country, but that tax will soon be applied to digital purchases as well, according to this Kotaku report. The Kotaku report, which cites a story in Japanese newspaper Nikkei, notes that downloadable content such as digital music, e-books, apps, games, and even DLC downloaded from foreign servers will be levied with a consumption tax.
The tax on digital goods is basically the result of Japanese retailers complaining about foreign competitors like Amazon having an unfair advantage because individuals in Japan who buy digital content from the company get their content tax-free.
Next year that will all change. The focus on taxes and retailers who live on the Internet sounds very familiar to Americans who have watched traditional retailers use their lobbying muscle on the state and federal level to pass legislation that collects taxes from customers who buy goods of all stripes online..

The Mississippi Department of Health says the state's first laboratory confirmed influenza case of the 2008-2009 season was reported in Covington County.
State health officer, Dr. Ed Thompson, said the report is a "great reminder" that Mississippi residents need to get a flu shot. The agency did not identify the patient or provide other details.
Health departments and clinics throughout the state began distributing the flu vaccine in mid-October. The charge for flu vaccination is $25.
Thompson said Medicare Part B covers the cost of flu vaccination, while children ages six months through 18 years can receive flu vaccinations for $10.

Perry, Every make cut at Bay Hill
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 7:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 10:11 p.m.
ORLANDO -- Matt Every made the 36-hole cut long after putting his clubs away. Rod Perry worked into early evening, in the pouring rain, before booking his weekend tee time at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Both players finished on the 3-over-par cut line, tied for 70th and moved on to Saturday and Sunday's final 36 holes at Bay Hill.
Every, a Daytona Beach native and Mainland High product, struggled to a 3-over 75 Friday. His 19-foot birdie putt on the tough par-4 18th hole, which looked meaningless at the time, became the stroke he needed as scores climbed late in the afternoon.
Perry, a New Smyrna Beach native and head pro at Crane Lakes in Port Orange, played well all day and finished with a 1-under 71 on the heels of Thursday's 4-over 76. He birdied his 16th hole – the par-3 seventh – to get to 2 over par.
A friend in the gallery told him the cut line was at 3 over, meaning he had a one-stroke cushion over the final two holes, and he'd need it after hitting his final approach into a greenside bunker.
"I played a pretty conservative bunker shot on the last hole, just trying to make sure I made nothing worse than bogey," said Perry, who played the final hole in hard rain. "I played pretty well all day, and I was glad to make the birdie (on his 16th hole) so I had some breathing room."

This is off-topic for Zimbra, but a lot of you administer systems, and I, at least, had not heard of this until I stumbled across it today. Apparently there's a basic flaw in the architecture of DNS servers -- ALL DNS servers, regardless if they're Windows, Linux, whatever -- that invites poisoning of the DNS cache. While there has not yet been any known exploit of this vulnerability, it's likely it'll happen fast now that the flaw is public, and it's a goldmine for phishers and other identity thieves.
Windows Update includes fixes for your Microsoft servers, most Linux publishers include information for fixes for bind and bind9, so the ability to patch your own systems is out there and you should do it. Unfortunately, it's not just your servers you have to worry about, though; it's also your ISP's servers if you forward to them (which you probably do). So you need to verify if they have done their homework and patched theirs (hint, my AT&T forwarders are NOT patched).
Take a look at this article Opinion: Fix your flawed DNS ... NOW! and the vulnerability tester on this website DoxPara Research.
I don't like "the sky is falling" emails any more than the next guy. . .and the sky isn't falling yet, but you should really pay attention to this one, as you can be sure the Black Hats already are. . .
