Anytime Keira Knightley and director Joe Wright meet up, there's sure to be a stylish literary adaptation left in their wake. The duo has collaborated on two ambitious projects to date, Jane Austen's most famous novel, "Pride & Prejudice," and "Atonement," a so-called inadaptable novel by Ian McEwan.

And now, they're teaming up again to take on a classic work of Russian literature, Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina."

Knightley spoke with MTV News while promoting her new film "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," and she tried to explain what it is about working with Wright that makes her tackle such ambitious stories and keep coming back for more.

The actress said she couldn't know for sure what makes the partnership work so well, but pointed to several similarities that certainly help. "I don't know what it is. We really get on. Obviously we do, otherwise we wouldn't work together so many times," she said. "We have a similar aesthetic. I think we have a similar way of viewing the world and the kind of interests in it. Clearly, we both love literature. That helps."

With this kind of working relationship, Knightley said she has never known why they work or don't work. "I just think it's one of those things. It's down to chemistry," she said. "When it's films, it's down to liking a similar sort of film and similar sort of vibe, so you can understand each other."

For their third collaboration, however, things will be different. According to Knightley, the look of "Anna Karenina" will be much more theatrical than both "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement."

"The only similarity, I think, in the work is that they're both based on novels. I think this one is very different, but then I would say that 'Atonement' is very different from 'Pride & Prejudice,' " she said. "This one's very different in that it's much more theatrical. It's not a naturalistic take on the piece. It's a very theatrical, dramatic take on the piece, which for when the trailer comes out that will make a lot more sense, when people start seeing it."

But like their other films together, "Anna Karenina" is a difficult novel to adapt, so Knightley is hoping for the best. "It's incredibly difficult. It's obviously a wonderful, wonderful book, but it's a massive book, and trying to get that in the film, that's tricky," she said. "Hopefully ... the stuff I've seen is good, so we'll keep our fingers crossed."

Baseball-Sized Hail Smashes Cars, Theaters In Texas


By Marice Richter
DALLAS, June 14 (Reuters) - Several strong thunderstorms cut a swath through north Texas late Wednesday, with baseball-sized hail smashing everything from car windshields to the marquee of a landmark East Dallas movie theater.
A storm in Fannin County northeast of Dallas flipped over a mobile home, injuring three people, according to a National Weather Service report.
No serious injuries were reported but property damage was extensive.
Two intense storms that swept through the Dallas area in the late afternoon lasted more than three hours before tapering off, said Jason Dunn, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
"This was definitely a multimillion-dollar hail storm," said Dunn said. "A lot of car windshields were blown out and roofs damaged in Dallas."
Hail smashed the marquee of the landmark Lakewood Theatre in East Dallas. Several glass sculptures created by nationally renowned artist Dale Chihuly that are on display outdoors at the Dallas Arboretum suffered minor damage, WFAA-TV news reported.
The storms also shredded trees and blanketed streets with downed limbs and leaves. About 6,000 homes and businesses lost power during the storms, WFAA reported. (Editing By Tom Brown)

ATMs Encourage Impulse Buying: Increase Your Business Sales ...

Having an ATM inside or just outside your store allows potential customers to notice of your products. However, it?s also possible to make money from impulse buyers who are more than ready to purchase up-sells on certain items as long as they have access to their money. You can make contact with a local reputable ATM provider to supply your business with state-of-the art ATMs.

Understanding Buyer Psychology

There are many types of buyers. Some buyers prefer to pay with cold,hard cash; other like the convenience of using credit. Most people carry their ATM cards with them in case they have to pull out cash to pay for purchases. Usually, if the buyer really wants to buy an item that has caught his attention, he checks his wallet to see if he has enough cash. If he does not, he looks for the nearest ATM he can find to get some cash.?

When you place an ATM machine in your location, figure on about 3% of the people who pass it who will use it. When individuals are near your store and also have cash, they know they can afford things that interest them. This gives them the impulse to purchase the things they really want and leave you happy with profits.

In some instances, people who come by your store to purchase items may want to buy additional gadgets or items related to the ones they already purchased. If they do not have enough money with them, they?ll look for an ATM to get more. If you have new ATM machines installed, the consumer will be more than happy to purchase more after withdrawing cash.

Earn Money From Surcharges

ATMs can attract customers, but they also allow you to earn money through surcharge payments. When the machine charges penalties from ATM card holders, you?re able to earn extra revenue from it. Although your business may have its good share of customers, you can raise your sales and profits by installing new ATM machines. Your choice of ATMs is up to you. Whether you intend to install Triton ATMs or some other ATMs, be sure to consider the terms and conditions that go along with their installation (get more help).

The Bottom Line

Buyer psychology dictates that having an ATM machine for your business is a prosperous idea. First of all, it attracts potential customers to your store and may entice them to purchase your products. Second, it gives your customers an opportunity to get more cash to pay for additional purchases. Third, you can earn from surcharges and other fees. ???

Stanford gets 110 years for role in $7B swindle

(AP) ? Former jet-setting Texas tycoon R. Allen Stanford, whose financial empire once spanned the Americas, was sentenced Thursday to 110 years in prison for bilking investors out of more than $7 billion over 20 years in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history.

U.S. District Judge David Hittner handed down the sentence during a court hearing in which two people spoke on behalf of Stanford's investors about how his fraud had affected their lives.

Prosecutors had asked that Stanford be sentenced to 230 years in prison, the maximum sentence possible after a jury convicted the one-time billionaire in March on 13 of 14 fraud-related counts. Stanford's convictions on conspiracy, wire and mail fraud charges followed a seven-week trial.

Stanford's attorneys had asked for a maximum of 41 months, a sentence he could have completed within about five months because he has been jailed since his arrest in June 2009.

During Thursday's sentencing hearing, Stanford gave a rambling statement to the court in which he denied he did anything wrong. Speaking for more than 40 minutes, Stanford said he was a scapegoat and blamed the federal government and a U.S.-appointed receiver who took over his companies for tearing down his business empire and preventing his investors from getting any of their money back.

"I'm not here to ask for sympathy or forgiveness or to throw myself at your mercy," Stanford told Hittner. "I did not run a Ponzi scheme. I didn't defraud anybody."

Prosecutor William Stellmach chastised Stanford for his lack of remorse for defrauding thousands of people of their life savings.

"To the bitter end, he was a con man and a coward," Stellmach said during the hearing.

Stanford was once considered one of the richest men in the U.S., with an estimated net worth of more than $2 billion. His financial empire stretched from the U.S. to Latin America and the Caribbean. But after his arrest, all of his assets were seized and he had to rely on court-appointed attorneys to defend him.

Calling Stanford arrogant and remorseless, prosecutors said he used the money from investors who bought certificates of deposit, or CDs, from his bank on the Caribbean island nation of Antigua to fund a string of failed businesses, bribe regulators and pay for a lavish lifestyle that included yachts, a fleet of private jets and sponsorship of cricket tournaments.

Defense attorneys portrayed Stanford, 62, as a visionary entrepreneur who made money for investors and conducted legitimate business deals. They accused the prosecution's star witness ? James M. Davis, the former chief financial officer for Stanford's various companies ? of being behind the fraud and tried to discredit him by calling him a liar and tax cheat.

Ali Fazel, one of Stanford's attorneys, said he was disappointed with the sentence.

"It's a harsh punishment. It's tough on him," he said. "He feels like he didn't do anything."

Prosecutors declined to comment after the sentencing.

Angela Shaw, a Dallas-area woman who founded the Stanford Victims Coalition and spoke during the hearing, said while she had hoped the financier would receive the maximum sentence, she was more upset that Stanford didn't apologize in court for what he did.

"It would have gone a long way to show there is some level of remorse and some measure of humanity," she said.

Hittner also ordered Stanford to forfeit $5.9 billion, but that was mostly symbolic because Stanford is penniless.

The jury that convicted Stanford also cleared the way for U.S. authorities to go after about $330 million in stolen investor funds sitting in the financier's frozen foreign bank accounts in Canada, England and Switzerland.

But due to legal wrangling, it could be years before the more than 21,000 investors recover anything, and whatever they ultimately get will only be a fraction of what they lost.

The financier's trial was delayed after he was declared incompetent in January 2011 due to an anti-anxiety drug addiction he developed in jail. He underwent treatment and was declared fit for trial in December.

Three other former Stanford executives are scheduled for trial in September. A former Antiguan financial regulator was indicted and awaits extradition to the U.S.

Stanford and his former executives also are fighting a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that accuses them of fraud.
