bellagio has the pre-alps coming down to the left, hitting the lake; and we had the mighty allegheny mountains. and so by extension, i reimagined myself at home, and it was wonderful. and the girls were back in boston and so i wrote them a letter every day. so each chapter was called a date -- the first was july 10th, the second was july 11th -- and i wrote them 20 to 30 pages a day for two weeks. i lost 10 pounds doing it. i went down to milan and came back, and then i finished the first draft of the book over the next four weeks. it was quite exciting for me. c-span: by the way, how does somebody get to go to italy under the rockefeller aegis to do this kind of thing? >> guest: oh, you just contact the rockefeller foundation. they'll send you an application. it's quite competitive. but lots of scholars and creative writers and creative artists and potters and sculptors, dancers, musicians apply. i think there are 14 or 15 scholars and artists in residence at any given time and you stay for five or six weeks. you're very well treated and it's a glorious experience. c-span: i'm going

materials companies more sensitive to global macro economic demand stories, you take freeport-mcmoran, allegheny technologies and nucor also down. scott, back to you. >>> dom, thanks so much. we are marking the five-year anniversary of the market bottom by asking the question is the bull market raging or aging? let's find out what leon cooperman says. he's the chairman and ceo of omega advisors and widely regarded as one of the best market watchers on the street. lee, always great to have you. thanks for coming back on the halftime show today. >> thank you for having me. >> so we're looking back five years now into this bull market where we were and how far we've come. what are your recollections on where we were and how we've gotten to this point? >> well, i think we have to thank mr. bernanke slowly growing economy to get where we've gotten. i mean, it's very predictable in a sense that, you know, every economic recession sows the seed for the next business recovery and every business recovery sows the seeds for the next recession. so back then in march of '09 the market figured out that monet

front of them, the risk is all these different high frequency traders playing a game with their allegheny rit ims to get in front and make that trade. because we don't know the in factorial all the ways they may interact and the negative consequences that occur as a result, that introduces a market risk. that market risk has an unquantifiable cost. we saw it in one instance with the flash crash. we see it every day with little miniflash crashes. we've seen some -- it's gotten a little bit better with the circuit breakers per stock, but we just don't know. and that's even without the possibility of a malicious algorithm being intentionally introduced into the mix. there are so many things that can go wrong as all the different high frequency traders jockey to get in front of that order. that to me is the biggest problem. i think as a result you'll see people not staying with their positions as long because they're not quite sure what's going to happen with the market. when you see something start to go bad in the market, they don't trust the system to say, you know what, somebody will jump

the perimeter has been expanded across allegheny. the past fare i got. more units continue to arrive here once again, not sure why they believe the suspect is held up. did not say much and that way. i can also say that a tactical vehicle along with the negotiating team has arrived here on the same period of the developing story here is we are expected that the public affirmation officer that the police department is expected to be here within the hour. so by then hopefully we will get some more information but basically this whole area and the outer mission had is completely shut down as they make a search. and this early morning shooting. we were pushed back in the parameter has been expanded no indication from the police department weather now they're having people who live in this area shelter in place, if they're doing evacuation or what they're doing all along those lines for people who live in the area. i continue basically trafficking shutdown throughout the area so if you are someone who normally come through this area you might want to take an a
