So, anyway, why's the DOW gone up nearly 80points in minutes? Did someone assassinate Obumma?
That's elementary, FunkyMonkeyBoy. You see, after they rape you in a stealthy roundabout way, they funnel the rape profit into a second phase via the NYSE. The first time, you're a helpless victim, the second a willing participant.
Ahhh, freedom...
OT: Wouldn't have believed this was America 2011 unless I saw it with my own eyes.
"Where is a terrorist more apt to be found? Not these days on an airplane more likely on the interstate," said Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons. Tuesday Tennessee was first to deploy VIPR simultaneously at five weigh stations and two bus stations across the state. Agents are recruiting truck drivers, like Rudy Gonzales, into the First Observer Highway Security Program to say something if they see something. "Not only truck drivers, but cars, everybody should be aware of what's going on, on the road," said Gonzales. What the fuck!!!

What the fuck!!!
just a small taste of what they have planned to keep the masses in line.
The only suspicious thing I see are Homeland Security units. Who do I report them to?
Oh, and those electronic billboards with cameras they put up every few miles, with such helpful messages as "Don't drive distracted."
What a poster child for America's pursuit of freedom and happiness without corruption or government interference!
From the Commish's wiki bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gibbons
"When Bill was appointed District Attorney General in 1996, he had no criminal experience as a prosecutor or defense lawyer. When he left the District Attorney's position in 2011, he left with no experience as a prosecutor. In fifteen years on the job, he tried no cases, argued no motions, and negotiated no guilty plea settlements."
LOL ... Jump you fuckers!!
Think of all the welcome signs at all of the international airports and immigration that will need editing..
Welcome To AmeriKa.
Big bux and employment potential
Borders are still wide open, still passing out 1 million work visas/year. Yeah, I'm about to believe these fucking assholes are worried about terrorists.
FMB...If someone popped the O, the market would be up 800 points, minimum.
There's a solution - backed by the Tea Party -
JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN't KNOW THE TEA PARTY ARE IDIOTS:
Brian Hickey of the Independence Tea Party rejects Occupy Wall Street: "The idea that Wall Street is the root of all evil is an anathema to us."
The problem is the government, the Tea Party is for a smaller govenment, no government bailouts. What don't you understand.
What I understand is that it's silly to treat Wall Street and DC as if they were separate, independent entities.
DC is the ugly, dim-witted, little brother of WS. It just sits in the corner picking its nose until WS needs some cover, diversion, or money.
As soon as people like you stop electing democrats llike Doddd, Franks and Schumer who beleive that the know whats best and can ontroll the economy then Wall strret will be occupied by Capitalist and not croonies, but as long as the OWS crowd continues to vote for the party that wants big Gov then those organizations will take advantage of them.
So you're saying the GOP is the answer to rampant corruption on Wall St?
We need to elect people who beleive that Government is not the answere to their needs and desires. For most of my life the GOP represented that view while the Dems were for more government involvment. About this there is no argument
Who's arguing? I agree that the GOP has effectively marketed itself as an anti-government party. It's sort of entertaining to hear that line repeated over and over. Like pulling the string on an old GI Joe doll^H^H^H^H action figure. The policies they have implemented are somewhat different, however, but let's not get bogged down in facts.
Here are some sweeping statements that are largely true: Wall Street is rife with people who want a lot of money. Washington has access to a lot of money. Washington is populated by people who need a little money to keep their jobs. Wall Street sees an opportunity here: make a small investment for a very, very large return.
Party is irrelevant. The Wall Street-DC symbiosis is an emergent behavior of the complex adaptive system that is our form of government and method of elections. It is also highly stable, very resistant to change. It will kill itself long before it lets outsiders modify it.
After FDR the demos took a hard turn left and have been expanding the role of gov in this country. The GOP fought the fight but found themselvs loosing as the dems bought their votes. In the last 20 years the GOP has talked the talk but not delevered as both Bush'e were Conservative on social matters only. If the peopl e wood back a party that was for individual responsibility rather than socialism then this country could return to the country that produced the highest standard of living ever!
Well played! ;) (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you can't possibly be serious.)
TPTB cover all the angles. They have useful pawns on both sides of every angle that matters. That's not paranoid, that's just good business. Most of the major political issues are artifically frothed up to keep the real issues sidelined. Political parties put you where you are today.
Not acccording to Alexander Hamilton.
I would like them to specify BANKERS not just the generic term "Wall street". Not just any BANKERS either, the TBTF banks that are controlled by the banking cartel. The handful of families that control all of these banks need to be outed. Your average stock broker working on Wall street is NOT the same as these idiots so I feel a differentiation must be made before the focus is lost!
Do you think stopping bailouts will stop Wall Street from getting free Fed USD and barfing up US garbage paper, CDS, derivatives etc...???
What don't you understand?
That US empire, globalism/militarism & Wall Street/fiat0bubbles, are the elite's con-joined tools for their elevation and the we the people's enslavement...
Do yo not understand that?
Wake up - naive Tea Party people !!!
There can be no US exceptionalism AND freedom - US exceptionalism IS ELITISM -engineered by the elite and executed via Wall Street/DC & Pentagon/CIA.
RON PAUL 2012 - no more bailouts - yes - AND NO MORE FED, CIA & EMPIRE.
Paul would be an excellent President. The Fed should go! But if you think that the OWS crowd doesn't want the government to take care of them then you need to go back on your meds. The Tea Party is closer to what you want. A return to the constitution. As to your Rant about the CIA and Empire you are very foolish.
the fix is in
(central) banks are looting the population??? I am shocked, shocked, shocked.
Stealthy... and quite sinister.
I demand to hear Fed's cover story
Was there anything to cheer about? Why the market is so cheerful?
The markets are extatic that the futures expiration date for major indices is tomorrow (10/21)....typical ramp job into the monthly close.
How long until MillionDollarBonus_ hops on the thread extolling the architects of our angst?
I don't understand much about bond and treasury market. So, does it mean China will be able to get rid of their US treasury easier ?
China stopped buying Treasury in Aug. And they dumped 60B in September. My question is whether China has the golden opportunity to further reducing their holding or now.
If so, hyperInflatino won't be that far away.
I posted this in an earlier comments section...it helped me to make sense of all the bs going on in the Treasury market.
Last week, the Federal Reserve announced "Operation Twist" which is yet another measure designed to stimulate a moribund economy. However, given that the theoretical foundation for this policy is doubtful, could "the Twist" really be a preemptive response to the ongoing menace of US Treasury bond sales by the Chinese? If so, it might be a smarter idea than it seems.Operation Twist is simply a Federal Reserve plan to replace $400 billion of short-term US Treasury securities in its portfolio with longer-term securities. Essentially, the Fed will be selling T-bills to buy T-bonds. In doing so, it will bid up the price of T-bonds and drive down their yields thereby reducing long term interest rates. The hope is that this will reduce borrowing costs throughout the economy and help economic recovery.
The problems with this policy strategy are numerous and explain why it fell out of favour fifty years ago. First, in ultra low interest rate environments, a relatively high proportion of any total borrowing cost is the interest rate spread added on top of the government yield to reflect the lesser credit quality of the borrower. So, lowering a government yield of 3% by, say, 25 basis points to 2.75% has limited impact on "high yield" corporate securities currently priced near 8.75%.
A second reason is that government interference in both the short and long term end of the yield curve means that there is no longer a free market in capital, and the "signal effect" of market behavior is lost. While a more comprehensive level of state control may produce valuable results over a brief period of time, the new and completely artificial price of money means that unrealistic excesses in supply or demand will quickly accumulate and, when it is time to remove the controls, the return to normal will be anything but. This tactic guarantees future problems and volatility.
Finally, if engineered lower long-term interest rates do manage to help the economy, it means that future rates will be higher (making bond prices lower) and, thus, smart money will make a graceful exit to avoid capital losses by selling their bonds to the Federal Reserve, leaving the government "long and wrong". Wall Street wins yet again.
So, why use a flawed policy tool? In recent months, China has seen that the US is very mindful of its vulnerability. In fact, just this week, the US Senate has been threatening to impose trade sanctions on China for having an undervalued currency. Clearly, being a massive borrower is no reason to stop dictating to lenders. This might partly explain why China has expressed an interest in helping out Europe. Perhaps it will be able to garner more influence there if it shifts some assets.
Operation Twist would allow the Chinese to dispose of a good percentage of their US Treasury holdings at current low yield/high price levels. In effect, it guarantees the Chinese a realized capital gain on their holdings and they should take advantage of the opportunity. Even if the Chinese use the Twist to temporarily convert their long term T-bonds to short term Treasury securities, the Fed will have transformed the inevitable Chinese exit from a potentially confidence rattling outright sale to a position that disappears by quietly coming to maturity and rolling off the books in the months ahead.
The Fed's Twist is deserving of its name. Most people assume that twisting means changing a form by rotating one end and not the other or the two ends in opposite directions. That fits the Fed's intended yield curve impact. However, the notion that a policy may be valid for reasons other than its declared purpose suggests the OED's fourth definition that is to distort or misrepresent the meaning of words. Perhaps this is about avoiding future arm twisting. Or the quintessentially American dance, the twist, might simply be how the Fed intends to waltz China out the door.
Perhaps it should be renamed to "Operation Titty Twist"? Then there would be no question about the conotation?
So we've gone from condo flipping in Nevada and Florida to bond flipping in New York and D.C. I guess the end result of this will be a lot more people working at flipping burgers, assuming anyone will be left who can afford to buy them.
Four times more efficient? If you measure efficiency via the interest of the parties on the other side of the trade. I would say efficiency should capture transaction cost to the investor/principal, and if dealers are drooling over the auction it is because they are getting a nice deal from Uncle Ben. Less efficient = higher cost (lower proceeds) to us, sweeter deal (bigger discount) for the B/Ds.
lemme get this straight.. i think i figured it out:
- PD's buys shorter term USD and the sells USD to the FED during QEII (presumably at slightly higher than market rates.)
- PD's take cash from sale of shorter term USD and buys longer term USD
- FED sells the same USD it bought from the PD's back to the PD's during OT (at slightly lower than market rates.)
- FED will now buy longer term USD from the PD's (at slightly higher than market rates.)
- The next logicaly step would be for the FED to sell longer term USD at below market rates, say, in 2012-13.
- Goto Step 1
honestly how is this ratio even possible?
"...flip the
bonds to the open market upon allocation for a tidy profit."
THIS is the problem. Who in their right mind would buy this stuff today? Desperate pension funds, mutual funds, insurance and hedge funds I would guess...
Who buys this stuff?
The Fed buys the long end of the curve, at a guaranteed profit to the PDs. Who buys the USTs then? "Market participants" (i.e. the unconnected "dumb" money) who have been scared out of equities by a series of engineered bungie jumps in the Dow/S&P, coupled with non-stop talk of deflation in the media. Then 3.20% in the 30-yr looks like a screaming buy, especially if total returns are going to be goosed by further plunges in interest rates. And meanwhile your money will be safe in USTs, right?
They were notes, not bills. FYI, a post loses credibility if the poster makes factual errors.
23x? Twenty-three times?? i wonder why this article isn't pinned at the top of ZH homepage, cos they just made history.
One can infer some very interesting facts from this:
1. The bidding parties must be confident that they can unload all those short-term paper in short order, with negligible risk of sudden losses. That also reveals the strength, and depth, of the (negative) undercurrents beneath the apparent calm surface we are seeing right now.
2. Certainly of more interest to ZH'ers, is that with the stunning success of Op Twist, QE3 will not happen anytime soon. Not while the troubles in Europe drag on and on, and China's situation looks increasingly shaky. Expect a continued downward slide for hard commodities such as metals (base and precious).
P.S. Forensics are fun! (and sometimes profitable)
Your credibilty as an expert diminishes greatly when you write things like: "Expect to see yet another spike in PD 1-3 year Bill holdings". For your information, "Bills" as in US Treasury Bills have a maximum maturity of 366 days, and are sold at a discount. Coupon securites have a maturity at issue of no less than 2 years. These issues can be split further into "notes"(2-10 year maturity) and "bonds"(maturity at issue of no less than 20 years). It's clear to me from this post that you've never actually traded Treasuries, or you'd know this.

Among the many great things to do in Mobile, Alabama is the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park.
For 50 great years, the park that is home to Battleship USS Alabama (BB-60), Submarine USS Drum (SS-228), well over 25 historic aircraft and various military equipment has set up shop in Mobile Bay to give a glimpse of history to thousands of people each year.
More that 14 million people have come aboard the battleship Alabama as it approaches it's 50th anniversary being in Mobile.
Before, during and after you visit the Memorial Park, you can relive history and see what life was like aboard the USS Alabama in World War II by having the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park app right on your mobile device.
Get information like how many ships the USS Drum sank and learn about all the "F" Series fighter jets in the Aircraft Pavilion.
Did you like the YF-17 Cobra Prototypes?
You can get more information about them and honor those who have served our country, all the way from World War II through the Vietnam War with this app and your visit.
Per William Childs, developer of the app, here are some of the features:
- Quick Access: Simply type in the corresponding number posted at aircraft and military equipment for more information.
- Self-Guided Tour Routes: While aboard the USS Alabama and USS Drum, select tour routes, with maps and pictures, for guidance throughout the ship and submarine.
- Plan Your Trip: If you're planning a trip to Battleship Memorial Park, the app will help you make sure you do not miss anything on your visit.
- Park History: Learn more about Battleship Memorial Park, Battleship USS Alabama, and Submarine USS Drum.
- Park Map: With the built-in Park Map, knowing where you are throughout the Park is easy. Simply click on the Park Map and your location will appear, as well as attractions around you.
In June, the app was updated to work with iOS 7 and the "swipe" was improved for easier navigation.
My favorite feature of the app is the "Quick Access" feature. Type in the number outside the aircraft in the pavillion and a ton of interesting information is at your fingertips.
Many times, a Memorial or Military Park like this can be overwhelming and a lot to take in.
But the USS Alabama Memorial Park app gives you an easy alternative to get an education and more enjoyment out of your time in the park. This battleship and everything in the Memorial Park is educational and gives a glimpse into our country's military history. This app does as well.
You can also use the app as research ahead of your visit or use it to share your experience with friends and family as you return home. You can also see what you might want to purchase at the gift shop.
A great app and a fantastic memorial to our military and war heroes.

Proclaimed the happiest town in the nation by Oprah Winfrey, San Luis Obispo is also set to become hipper and more fashionable, courtesy of Lady Gaga. Although the combination of quaint, self-described "SLO-town" with beyond-the-cutting-edge in fashion and music Lady Gaga might seem as improbable as a kitten driving a Lamborghini, it's actually a merging of Lady Gaga's interest in the arts, reported KSBY.
The place where all this will converge: Hearst Castle, where Lady Gaga plans to shoot a music video and engage in various other fantastic projects.
"What was wonderful from day one, her objective was to try and help things that were important to the foundation." says Remar Sutton, board-member with the Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation.
Kudos to Lady Gaga for using her interest in Hearst Castle and the art within to make a $250,000 donation to the Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation. It's designed to help bridge the gap between what the place gets from the state and what's needed to preserve the art.
"And much more interestingly, she just now has learned about water problems here, particular in this area of the state and she has agreed to underwrite an important water study to see if certain wells can be increased and joined in for the water system for Cambria. Which would be great," says Sutton.
"Lady Gaga's age group basically runs 18 to 24. A great group we want to get involved and not coincidentally, that's the age group she's interested in teaching about art." says Sutton.
"Her last video had 175 million showings. So we think it's an extraordinary opportunity for Hearst Castle to be introduced all over the world."
Our take on it: San Luis Obispo has this in common with Lady Gaga: Both are unique and beloved for their difference. To quote Lady Gaga: "You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way."

I have been in this phase of cleansing and purification of my energies for so long now that I don't remember the last time I felt myself to be in a high vibrational state with an open heart. I just seem to be in the trenches constantly clearing out all the sludge at the bottom of the pond. I am beginning to feel "Lightworker low esteem", that I am not doing a good enough job of transmutting all this goblygook to Light, especially when I read channelings about all the wonderful glorious high frequency energies being poured down upon us. But on the other hand, it's understandable given where I started, kind of like a grade school child who has to do major "catch up" to get into 'Ascension University' with all the other high school seniors. In any event, I seem to have "special education" mentors from the higher realms that seem to be around me much of the time. Often, I close my eyes and go into my inner space and receive sacred geometry activations that are quite spectacular, beyond any pyrotechnic light show in 3D.
So day after day I just keep clearing but get frustrated, kind of like a guy who's in a boat and he's bailing water to keep the boat from sinking but he'd save a lot of time if he just plugged up the hole in the boat. Once I had a channeled being named "Bartholomew" say something very profound to me: You can keep shoveling out the darkness from now to eternity. It's much faster just to open a window and let in the Light. For some reason, my "stuff" feels so heavy that I don't trust opening a window is going to make it go away. I have to blast the sludge out with the "Cosmic Blaster, Dissolver, Transmuter" or "Divine Roto-Rooter" (the turbo version of the Violet Flame). I make up all kinds of "fires" in various colors, fires of purification, dissolution, transmutation, unification and transcendence, whatever I think will get the sludge out of my chakras and subtle bodies and limbic system/ Reptillian brain. And I go around my apartment screaming out all of these invokations that I sort of made up, (like a Lightworker who "shoots from the hip") for hours, just to keep myself from getting sucked into self-contraction (a very core tendency of mine). I will do this day in and day out yet the boat seems to keep filling up so where's the leak??? I sometimes yell at the heavens and say "Will somebody up there let me know if any of this is working???".
I also use the visualization of my being the captain of a crystaline electromagnetic multi-dimensional star ship. I have been knocked unconscious for 52 years by about 100 2X4's to the head (i.e. my childhood) and now I see no one has been at the helm all this time. The ship is floating around aimlessly in the heavens, getting sucked into other star ships gravitational pulls, jerked around in every direction, getting hit by meteors, with a huge rupture in the electromagnetic hull that is sucking in all kinds of nuclear exhaust from other star ships (i.e. all the projection of other people's judgments and opionions that I introject into my sacral chakra and fear, guilt, and shame). Not only that, but there's a whole party of strangers, imposters, bully's, victimizers, critics, judges, back-seat drivers that are having a party on the ship that snuck in while I was unconscious and I have to do some major "taking out of the garbage" to get things back in order. I am the only one who is supposed to steer this ship. NO ONE, either physical or non-physical (this goes for Ascended Masters as well)is supposed to man the helm of the ship but my own Self. I am the only Authority on this ship. The destiny of this ship in solely in my hands.
So enough said. I still feel like I'm in grade school as a Lightworker, still playing with play-do and coloring with crayonns.

News broke over the weekend that head varsity coach Reggie Torres and JV coach Ikaika Plunkett were suspended indefinitely by the school administration. The timing comes just as the nationally ranked football program begins its early season training in preparation for the upcoming season. Sources say several JV players were caught with illegal substances while the team was on their camp on campus and the reason for the suspensions was that the incident was not reported to the administration by the coaches.
Apparently the coaches punished the players with a midnight 90-minute run on Tuesday morning followed by additional running later that morning. At some point Plunkett had informed Torres of the situation and it is believed that Principal Donna Lindsey found out about the situation on Thursday after a parent complained.
This situation is now on top of a small pile of negative occurrences with the program which includes last season's disqualification from the OIA playoffs. The #1 ranked team at the time was found to have used an ineligible player and despite a legal attempt to get reinstated, the Red Raiders, favored for a state title, watched from the sidelines.
Athletic director Joe Whitford is currently on paid leave stemming from that situation and was not on duty as the AD during this most recent controversy.
Some people would as the question, "Why suspend Torres if it was the JV players that broke the rules?"
In the high school level, it is the varsity coach who is responsible for the entire sport, JV and varsity. For ILH schools you can include the intermediate teams too. Therefore Torres would be the person to notify the administration (VP Pat Macadangdang who is serving in the AD role temporarily) of such a violation immediately. Department of Education rules are very clear and strict on possession of illegal substances on school property or during a school function. Once Torres was made away of the situation, he is responsible to enforce the policy and communicate through the chain of command. Reggie Torres would be the first man to support this process.
It is possible that the coaches tried to handle the situation internally. It is possible that Coach Torres and Plunkett were trying to discipline their players and avoid suspensions from school. As Torres would no doubt feel that it is better that the kids are in school.
In any case, Torres is taking another hit.

I just got a new Mac and have been trying to setup a local development environment for my perl applications for a few days now with no luck. I'm getting no where fast so I hope someone else who has done this successfully could help.
I started by installing MAMP which I thought would take care of everything for me but unfortunately it doesn't take care of some important perl modules. I used CPAN to install all our required modules except that it seems DBD::mysql doesn't install correctly through CPAN. After reading a lot online, lots of people reported problems with this and recommended using MacPorts to install the module which I have tried doing with no luck using the following command:
sudo port install p5-dbd-mysql
After what seems like a successful install of DBD::mysql, Apache continues to report the following error when trying to run any of our Perl scripts:
[Fri Apr 30 18:51:07 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0 /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0 .) at (eval 1835) line 3.
[Fri Apr 30 18:51:07 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
[Fri Apr 30 18:51:07 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.
[Fri Apr 30 18:51:07 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Proxy, SQLite, Sponge.
I'm not sure where to go from here but my Mac isn't much of a development environment if Perl isn't able to talk to the database. I'd really appreciate any help and advice you might be able to provide in getting my system setup successfully. Thanks in advance!

English as a Second Language, or ESL, students come to school with a wealth of background knowledge and experiences. Just because they might not be able to communicate them in the mainstream language, does not mean they are devoid of valuable prior knowledge. As ESL teachers, it is our responsibility to find a way to tap into our English Language Leaners' (ELLs) background knowledge and experiences. Doing so affords teachers the opportunity to make learning meaningful for their English Language Learners.
Case Study: Tapping into an ELL's prior knowledge
Consider the following case study as an example of tapping into an English Language Learner's prior knowledge:
Amaris is a 5th grade ESL student. Her and her family recently moved to the United States from Vietnam. She has very little knowledge of the English language or the American culture, but her desire to learn is apparent from the moment she walks into class.
The teacher has no knowledge of the Vietnamese language, and limited understanding of their culture. But, this does not deter her from trying to connect with Amaris.
Over morning recess, the teacher sits with her new student. With a variety of picture books in front of them, the teacher waits for Amaris to choose one. Once Amaris picks one out, the teacher takes note that it is about animals, which tells the teacher that Amaris is familiar with and interested in animals.
Using this preliminary information, the teacher can then incorporate more books on animals, particularly animals native to Vietnam, Amaris' homeland.
Using ESL students' prior knowledge to make learning meaningful
It isn't enough to simply tap into an ELL's prior knowledge or interests; teachers must use this information to drive their instruction. Incorporating an English Language Learner's previous experiences, whether in their prior schooling or home lives, gives these students something to relate to. According to Goldenberg (2014), "teachers should use materials with some degree of familiarity to students" (p. 41). When students can personally relate to new information, the learning will be more meaningful.

Escobar and Carvalho will participate in the NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Doubles Championships, as one of the nation's top 32 doubles teams. Escobar has also been invited as an at-large selection in the singles competition that features 64 of the top players in the nation.
The singles and doubles competition will be conducted May 23-28 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga., following the conclusion of the team championship (May 18-22). The University of Georgia will serve as host. All matches shall be the best of three sets. Regular scoring and a 12-point tiebreaker at six games all will be used for all matches.
The duo of Escobar and Carvalho, which is currently No. 19 in the nation, paired for the first time this spring and has been seemingly unstoppable. The tandem is 10-1 on the season, including a 5-1 mark against ranked opponents.
Carvalho is making his fourth straight appearance at the NCAA Doubles Championships, while Escobar will be competing in the event for the first time. In all, Carvalho has appeared in the singles competition twice (2009 and 2010) and four times in the doubles competition (2009-12), while Escobar has appeared in three straight singles events (2010-12) and one doubles competition (2012).
Carvalho joins Christian Rojmar as the only two Red Raiders to appear in the NCAA Doubles Championships at least three times. Rojmar advanced to the 2007, 2008 and 2009 editions of the event. Carvalho appeared with Rojmar in 2009 and Rafael Garcia in 2010 and 2011.
Escobar, who is 29-12 on the season, is currently ranked No. 43 nationally. He will be headed to nationals in singles for the third straight year.

College Hockey:Collins Nets OT Winner As UNH Overtakes BC
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The sellout crowd of 7,770 at Boston College's Conte Forum on Tuesday night had every right to have high expectations for the top-ranked Eagles and the No. 2 New Hampshire Wildcats.
They got everything they expected and more — literally.
Thanks to one of the year's tightest-checking, most defensive games and the inability of 60 minutes of regulation to settle the contest, those in attendance were treated to an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Sean Collins' second goal of the game at 3:14 of overtime was the winner in a 3-2 New Hampshire victory.
"It's one of those types of games that guys want to play in college," said UNH head coach Dick Umile. "It's early in the season but these are two of the teams that will compete for the top spot."
The winning goal came a little more than halfway through a semi-wide-open overtime that was the exact opposite of a regulation that saw few quality scoring chances.
After Boston College's Tony Voce was unable to get a stick on a pass in front of UNH goaltender Michael Ayers (22 saves) at 3:01, UNH responded shortly thereafter.
When the Boston College defense failed to clear the puck from the defensive zone, Lanny Gare wristed an innocent-looking shot on BC netminder Matti Kaltiainen (12 saves) that squirted free in heavy traffic in front. After Preston Callender took a swipe at the rebound, Collins batted the puck over the fallen goaltender for the winning goal, sending the UNH faithful making the trip from Durham into celebration.
"I just took a whack at the puck and was lucky it went in," said Collins. "I think it went up and over his arm and it seemed like it took forever to get that puck into the net."
It certainly made the most of a rare UNH opportunity in a game that saw the Eagles limit the Wildcats to only 15 shots on net, with only nine of those grade-A scoring chances.
"We think we've done pretty well if we can limit that type of offense [UNH's] to only 15 shots," said Boston College coach Jerry York. "We did a good job checking and conversely New Hampshire did a good job checking and that makes for a tight game."
UNH's Umile felt that the game showcased that which is often overlooked.
"Both teams don't get enough credit for their defensive play," said Umile, whose Wildcats have now won five straight against the Eagles. "They play good defense and did a good job in the center zone bottling us up. And I thought tonight we did a good job of bottling them up."
The game began with UNH showing an immediate spark, but as is often the case, it was the Eagles who struck first.
At 2:12, BC's Ty Hennes entered the offensive zone with speed, took a pass from Ryan Murphy after crossing the blue line and deked Ayers on the breakaway goal at 2:12 for the 1-0 lead.
UNH would answer back before the end of the period on a goal that Kaltiainen might like to have back. Wildcat defenseman Tyson Teplitsky wristed what seemed to be an innocent shot on the BC net but Kaltiainen going down on the shot allowed the puck to trickle through his five-hole and slowly roll into the net to even the game at one.
An defensive second period saw the teams once again trade goals. Boston College's own Collins — Chris Collins — scored first at 1:46, taking a breakaway pass after substituting for Andrew Alberts as he exited the penalty box, walking in alone on Ayers and firing a goal-scorer's shot: a hard snapshot over the glove and under the crossbar for the 2-1 lead.
Late in the period, UNH would take advantage of an Alberts penalty for interference when Collins gathered his first tally of the game. Gare fed Collins in front of the BC net, where the sophomore sniper caught Kaltiainen looking the wrong way and wristed a shot between the goalie's left leg and the post to even the game through two.
The only scoring chance of the third period was identical to UNH's opening goal. Teplitsky once again wristed a soft shot that made its way through Kaltiainen's five hole but this time came to rest an in short of the goal line allowing the sophomore netminder to cover.
That set the stage for a heated overtime. Forty-three seconds into the extra session, two of the game's top stars — BC's Patrick Eaves and UNH's Colin Hemingway — were both issued majors penalties and game disqualification penalties (Eaves for spearing and Hemingway for fighting).
Though no power play resulted, each player will be suspended for the team's next game.
"I didn't see what happened," admitted Umile. "But it was unfortunate because I thought the game was very well-played by both teams."
The win lifts UNH to 7-1-2 on the season, 5-1-1 in Hockey East, and gives it a lead on first place over Boston College. The Eagles record slips to 8-1-1, 5-1-0 in Hockey East, one point behind New Hampshire with a game in hand.
Despite the nation's top two teams meeting this early in the season, the two clubs won't see one another again until the last weekend of the season, when they play a home-and-home series on February 28 and March 1.
"That will be interesting," said Umile of the late-season matchup. "But it's a long way to go and Hockey East is a very difficult league. You have to pay attention every single night."
In the meantime, UNH will return to the ice Friday night to face archrival and seventh-ranked Maine in Orono. BC also is back in action on Friday, hosting crosstown rival Northeastern.

From its opening ceremonies to its public squares, Great Walls, and even oil profits, China likes to do everything big.
The results from oil producer CNOOC (NYSE: CEO ) for the first half of 2008 were nothing short of immense. The company grew profits by 89% to $4 billion over the first half of 2007, on the strength of a 74.3% increase in the average realized price of oil.
The company has some ground to cover before closing in on ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) and its staggering profit of $22.6 billion during the same period, but with unceasing oil demand from a Chinese economy that grew its gross domestic product at 10.4% during the half, CNOOC appears destined to follow in the behemoth's footsteps. I think that with a commitment to keeping costs low, new discoveries filing into the fold, exclusive rights to drilling in China's territorial waters, and a wad of cash $5.5 billion strong, CNOOC has the tools necessary to make it happen.
The talented investors at Motley Fool CAPS agree. They've given CNOOC a four-star rating, on par with that of British oil giant BP (NYSE: BP ) . CAPS member paulnovell stated his case for the producer most succinctly: "Monopoly drilling rights offshore China, the lowest cost oil & gas [exploration and production] company in the world, expanding outside China, shareholder friendly management, access to growth in China GDP, [price-to-earnings ratio] of 9, [dividend] yield of 3%, 25%+ earnings/div growth rates over the last 5 years."
Chinese state control has been something of a boon for CNOOC -- it has given the company dibs on what's considered a massive untapped resource in the South China Sea. Integrated producers such as PetroChina (NYSE: PTR ) and Sinopec (NYSE: SNP ) , however, have not fared as well. Both of those companies saw huge reductions in profit for the first half, as mandated caps on gasoline prices destroyed refining margins.
The state giveth, and the state taketh away. When it comes to a pure-play oil and gas producer like CNOOC, the state clearly giveth.

Game Notes
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The women's basketball team (11-14, 1-10 SEC) will host LSU (16-8, 6-5 SEC) on Sunday at Foster Auditorium for the Crimson Tide's annual Power of Pink game, brought to you by Tuscaloosa Toyota, in helping to raise awareness in the fight against breast cancer. The game will air on Comcast Sports South beginning at 1 p.m. CT.
"I think we have gotten better as a basketball team since the first time we played LSU," said Alabama head coach Wendell Hudson. "We have a better idea of what to expect the second time around as well. If we can make some of those shots we missed last time against them, we will be in good shape."
Several giveaways will be available at the game including 500 pink shirts, an iPad, a television, three iPods and more. In addition to it being Power of Pink, it is also Alumni Day, as the Tide welcomes back several former players and staff members that will be recognized at halftime.
Sunday's game marks the 50th in the series between Alabama and LSU that began in 1977. The Lady Tigers have won the last 14 meetings against the Tide. Alabama's last victory against LSU came on February 24, 2002, by a score of 82-73 in Tuscaloosa.
Sunday's game will be the second between Alabama and LSU this season with the first going in the Lady Tigers' favor, 84-40, in Baton Rouge. Alabama finished the game 15.2 percent (10-for-66) from the floor, while the Lady Tigers were 60.4 percent on their attempts (32-for-53).
Last time out, the Tide picked up its first SEC win of the season, topping Mississippi in Oxford, 52-47. The victory marked Alabama's first over the Rebels on the road since the 2002-03 season. Junior Jessica Merritt led a balanced Alabama offensive attack with 10 points. She was followed by sophomore Khristin Lee with nine points and junior Meghan Perkins and sophomores Shafontaye Myers and Jasmine Robinson, who had eight points apiece. Both Perkins and junior Kyra Crosby had a team-leading seven rebounds.
For the game, the Tide out-rebounded the Rebels 48-40, which included 25 offensive boards for Alabama. The Tide also had a season-high 16 steals in the win.
LSU enters Sunday's contest on a two-game winning streak having picked up victories at home against No. 5 Kentucky and Mississippi State. In their game Thursday, the Lady Tigers were able to edge the Lady Bulldogs, 53-49, behind the efforts of a 17-point-performance from senior LaSondra Barrett. Barrett was stellar from the free throw line for LSU, hitting 11 of her 13 attempts at the stripe.
On the season, Barrett leads the Lady Tigers in scoring and rebounds with averages of 12.0 and 6.7, respectively. She has also collected a team-high 37 steals and leads the team in three-pointers with 19 (42.2 percent from beyond the arc).

The Chelan Fire District 7 Board of commissioners unanimously approved placing a levy lid lift on November's General Election ballot during their June 20th meeting.
The levy lid lift will seek an additional 18 cents per $1,000 property value- that's on top of the 98 cents per $1,000 taxpayers currently pay.
The levy would be used to fund two new stations along the south shore as well as the apparatus to outfit each location.
Chelan 7 Fire Chief, Tim Lemon, says voters approve the levy, the district will immediately go into action to prepare for the added revenue.
Lemon adds that safety and fire protection are priority and are already taking steps in that direction.
An advocate committee will be put together to help educate tax payers on the specifics of the levy as well as the proposed stations."CLICK HERE" for Audio"CLICK HERE" for Audio

First and foremost, producing a game is a collaborative process. Designers, artists, coders, editors... everyone gets input, and everyone contributes. This is true for any game, but especially true for such a mammoth project as an MMORPG. It's a design-led process, not a story-led process. Design choices are made, art is drawn, and the broad strokes of story are dictated by elements like level progression and the relative importance of things like PvE vs. PvP, the significance of crafting, and so on.

This (sort of pedagogic) section gives more information on how to configure SML mode: menus, key bindings, hooks and highlighting are discussed, along with a few other random topics.
|6.1 Hooks
|Creating them
|6.2 Key bindings
|Binding commands to keys
|6.3 Syntax colouring

One way to set SML mode variables (see section Indentation Defaults), and other defaults, is through the
sml-mode-hook in your `.emacs'. A simple example:
(defun my-sml-mode-hook () "Local defaults for SML mode" (setq sml-indent-level 2) ; conserve on horizontal space (setq words-include-escape t) ; \ loses word break status (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)) ; never ever indent with tabs (add-hook 'sml-mode-hook 'my-sml-mode-hook)
my-sml-mode-hook is a sequence of assignments. In this
case it is not really necessary to set
sml-indent-level in a hook
because this variable is global (most SML mode variables are). With
similar effect:
(setq sml-indent-level 2)
indent-tabs-mode is
automatically made local to the current buffer whenever it is set
explicitly, so it must be set in a hook if you always want
SML mode to behave like this.
Another hook is
inferior-sml-mode-hook. This can be used to
control the behaviour of the interaction buffer through various
variables meaningful to `comint'-based packages:
(defun my-inf-sml-mode-hook () "Local defaults for inferior SML mode" (add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'comint-truncate-buffer) (setq comint-scroll-show-maximum-output t) (setq comint-input-autoexpand nil)) (add-hook 'inferior-sml-mode-hook 'my-inf-sml-mode-hook)
comint things.

Customisation (in Emacs) usually entails putting favourite commands on
easily remembered keys. Two `keymaps' are defined in SML mode: one
is effective in program text buffers (
sml-mode-map) and the other
is effective in interaction buffers (
The initial design ensures that (many of) the default key bindings from
the former keymap will also be available in the latter (e.g.,
Type C-h m in an SML mode buffer to find the default key bindings (and similarly in an ML interaction buffer), and use the hooks provided to install your preferred key bindings. Given that the keymaps are global (variables):
(defun my-sml-mode-hook () "Global defaults for SML mode" (define-key sml-mode-map "\C-cd" 'sml-cd)) (add-hook 'sml-mode-hook 'my-sml-mode-hook)
sml-cd to the key C-c d.
If you want the same behaviour from C-c d in the ML buffer:
(defun my-inf-sml-mode-hook () "Global defaults for inferior SML mode" (define-key inferior-sml-mode-map "\C-cd" 'sml-cd) ;; NB. for SML/NJ '96 (setq sml-cd-command "OS.FileSys.chDir \"%s\"")) (add-hook 'inferior-sml-mode-hook 'my-inf-sml-mode-hook)
There is nothing to stop you rebuilding the entire keymap for
SML mode and the ML interaction buffer in your `.emacs' of
course: SML mode won't define
sml-mode-map or
inferior-sml-mode-map if you have already done so.

Highlighting is very handy for picking out keywords in the program text, spotting misspelled kewyords, and, if you have Emacs' `ps-print' package installed (you usually do these days), obtaining pretty, even colourful code listings--quite properly for your colourful ML programs.
The indentation scheme (strangely enough) also relies on the highlighting code to properly handle nested comments, which is yet another reason to turn on highlighting. To turn on highlighting, use either of:
M-x font-lock-mode (add-hook 'sml-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) (global-font-lock-mode 1)
The first will turn it on in the current buffer. The second will turn it on in all sml-mode buffers. The last will turn it on everywhere. This is valid for Emacs but maybe not for XEmacs. Check font-lock documentation if you encounter problems.

These forms are bloody useless; can't we have better ones?
You can indeed.
sml-insert-form is extensible so all you need to
do is create the macros yourself. Define a keybord macro
(C-x ( <something> C-x )) and give it a suitable name:
sml-addto-forms-alist prompts for a name, say
NAME, and
binds the macro
sml-form-NAME. Thereafter C-c RET
NAME will insert the macro at point, and C-u C-c RET NAME
will insert the macro after a
newline-and-indent. If you want to
keep your macros from one editing session to the next, go to your
`.emacs' file and call
insert-kbd-macro; you'll need
to add
NAME to
sml-forms-alist permanently yourself:
(defun my-sml-mode-hook () "Global defaults for SML mode" ;; whatever else you do (add-to-list 'sml-forms-alist '("NAME" . FUNCTION)))
If you want to create templates like `case' that prompt for parameters
you'll have to do some Lisp programming. The
skeleton package is
a good stating point. Better yet, you can reuse the wrappers used by
sml-mode itself in your sml-mode-hook:
(add-hook 'sml-mode-hook (lambda () (sml-def-skeleton "case" "Case expr: " str " of" \n _ " => ")))
This will redefine `case' in order to leave the `of' on the first line.
See the documentation of
skeleton-insert to get a better
understanding of how this works.
I hate that indentation algorithm; can't I tweak it?
Ah, yes, of course, but this manual will not tell you how.
Can SML mode handle more than one compiler running at once?
Sure, just rename the `*sml*' buffer and then use
as usual.
What needs to be done to support other ML compilers?
Not much really. Just add the right regular expressions to
sml-error-regexp-alist and that should be all.

ITHACA, N.Y. – Stanford prepared for its showdown against Notre Dame by producing an efficient and complete performance in a 17-9 nonconference women's lacrosse victory over Cornell on Tuesday.
Meg Lentz and Alex Poplawski scored four goals apiece, and each joined Anna Kim and Emily Newstrom in contributing two goals each during a decisive 9-0 scoring run wedged during a span of 20 first-half minutes.
Stanford's defense pressured Cornell into 15 first-half turnovers, allowing the No. 13 Cardinal to turn a brief deficit into a rout.
"We really wanted to make it difficult for Cornell to clear," said Stanford coach Amy Bokker, whose team limited Cornell to only five clears from its defensive zone in 18 tries. "We wanted to play aggressive and come out with good energy. And we played a lot of great team defense."
Those were some of the goals for Stanford (7-1) as it prepared for Saturday's contest at No. 6 Notre Dame in a rematch of Stanford's thrilling 7-6 victory in the first round of the 2013 NCAA tournament. Some other areas that Stanford must correct, Bokker said, include improving on draw controls and unforced errors, though Mackenzie Tesei came off the bench to earn three draw controls.
However, there were plenty to reasons to believe the Cardinal is on the right track. One area was passing in scoring situations. Freshman Kelsey Murray responded with four assists and the team totaled a season-high 11 in that department.
Another benefit was the continued maturation of freshman Poplawski, whose four goals were a collegiate career high and allowed her to extend her goal-scoring streak to eight – at least one in every game of her Stanford career.
The 6-foot midfielder is "smart, savvy, and a great target because of her size," Bokker said. An emphasis was finding the cutters through the eight-meter arc, rather than trying to dodge their way through. Poplawski was ideal in that capacity, scoring on all four of her shots.
Lentz, a sophomore who also had two assists, equaled her high of four. Each was against an Ivy League opponent, after first scoring four against Harvard earlier this season. Lentz also has taken over the team season goal-scoring lead, with 15.
As for Notre Dame, the Irish is the highest ranked team Stanford will play during the regular season and the Cardinal's final nonconference opponent before playing the bulk of its Mountain Pacific Sports Federation schedule.
* * *
Stanford 17, Cornell 9
Stanford 11 6 – 17

Stanford (goals-assists): Meg Lentz 4-2, Alex Poplawski 4-0, Kelsey Murray 2-4, Anna Kim 2-0, Emily Newstrom 2-0, Hannah Farr 1-2, Rachel Ozer 1-1, Alexandra Crerend 1-0, Lucy Dikeou 0-1, Mackenzie Tesei 0-1.
Cornell: Lindsay Toppe 3-1, Rachel Moody 3-0, Amanda D'Amico 1-1, Sarah Hefner 1-1, Kristy Gilbert 1-0, Emily Tripodi 0-2.

A Charlottesville, VA, witness reported a chevron-shaped UFO gliding silently under 400 feet over his home about 1 a.m. on March 28, 2014, according to testimony in Case 55008 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness reported that he could not sleep and went outside for a cigarette when the object was first seen.
"It was a breezy, clear night, with very few clouds in the sky," the witness stated. "I leaned back on the deck railing and tilted my head back to see the stars. As I looked up, the wind quickly died down to a calm silence and then I noticed the black/slightly reflective chevron, V-shaped object come into vision from the southeast over the tree tops."
The witness described the object's movement.
"The object proceeded to glide directly over my head approximately 200-400 feet in altitude with no sound and no light emitted in a slight arch to the west. I estimate that the V was between 12-20 feet wide. Within 5-10 seconds I lost sight of the object behind a large tree in my backyard."
The witness continued to look for the object.
"As I tried to reacquire the object, I saw one star-sized flash of light in the same direction the object was headed, and then five seconds later, one last flash of light in the same location."
The witness could not identify the object.
"At first I was skeptical of this sighting as I live within two miles of a commuter airport, but due to the lack of any landing or strobe lights, the path of travel, no sound, and only two flashes of light in the distance, I believe this was a legitimate UFO sighting whether extraterrestrial or military drone."
The witness offers up additional clues.
"There is a large, secluded, public fishing lake in the exact path of the UFO travel and the Navy regularly conducts touch and go training with E-2 Hawkeye early warning radar planes at our public airport which is roughly 250 miles inland from Norfolk."
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was submitted on March 28, 2014. Charlottesville is the county seat of Albemarle County, VA, population 118,389. Virginia has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Virginia had 8 UFO reports in February 2014 - the 15th highest reporting state - while California had 59 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

ChuChu Rocket! is free on Amazon today! Drop everything. Don't worry if it's breakable or not, just drop it. Grab your tablet or run to your computer, get to the Amazon AppStore and claim your free game. This is a fantastic port of a wonderful game and you need it in your life. Since it's free, you have no reason to argue with me and instead should just pick it up before December 27, 2012 ends and the price shoots back up to 99¢.
Okay, yes, I'm getting all excited because you get to save a whole 99¢. This is ChuChu Rocket!! If you'd played it, you would understand and appreciate my need for urgency and call to action.
See, the Android version of ChuChu Rocket! is the best incarnation of the game since the original Dreamcast release back in 1999. In this game, players help ChuChus, which are the adorable white and blue space-mice, escape the orange KapuKapu cats. You save them by placing arrows around the screen to create paths for the ChuChus to the space ships. ChuChus are kinda dumb, typically plodding forward in a straight line, unless they hit a wall, in which case they turn right and continue forward until they, you guessed it, hit another wall. Or fall in a hole. Or run into a KapuKapu. I think you get the idea.
In a way, I envy you. My first experience with ChuChu Rocket! wasn't as glorious as yours will be after grabbing the Android app. See, I had it on the Game Boy Advance. It wasn't bad but, well, it couldn't compare to the Dreamcast or Android versions!
Anyway, you need ChuChu Rocket! in your life. The simple touch screen controls, 500 levels and up to four player multiplayer will make it worth your while. So go on, go to Amazon and start saving some ChuChus!

*Typos are brought to you courtesy of Captain Morgan. Don't judge.
This week in hell starts at Melissa's house, where she is talking to Antonia about her book. She fake cries and I am over it. She is full of crap and we all see it. Cut to Joe getting home from his confrontation with Teresa at the gym. This is obviously scripted, but whatever. Joe is telling Melissa about the fight, while Antonia is listening at the door. Shame on Bravo.
Melissa thinks Joe has seen the Teresa she sees, but Joe clarifies that Melissa needs to stop picking fights with Teresa on Twitter. Melissa tries to cause problems for Joe and Teresa, and Joe mans up and tells Melissa to stop. I love Joe Gorga at this moment. We have been waiting years for him to take Teresa's side and see that Melissa is wedging them apart.
Cut to Teresa and Juicy at soccer practice with the kids. Teresa tells Juicy about the fight, and again, it is all scripted. Juicy says Joe has a Napoleon complex and I am laughing. Laughing because it is funny, and also because Juicy knows who Napoleon is. Teresa looks like a Muppet in her blue coat, Juicy is hilarious, and their kids are perfect television. I love them.
Sidebar: I will get emails asking me how it is that I can be on Teresa's "side" and like Juicy when he is so horrible to her, and to those people I say grow up. This is a reality television show and we see what they want us to see. We don't know these people, it is not reality, and I pick sides because even though it's my job, I care more about keeping it real than keeping it nice.
Cut to Caroline, Jac, Rosie and Kathy going to some beauty party for a store that appears to be in direct competition to Lauren's shop. Whatever. Jac is a plastic mess and she looks horrible. Caroline gets a call from Teresa and I want to say something I never thought I would say. Are you sitting down? I like Caroline. For the first time in years of this crapfest, I like her.
She is getting back to who she was, which is great. Now, it is all fake and a feeble attempt to help her sell books, but I like her and don't care what her motives are, she is behaving properly. Teresa calls to tell her about the fight with Joe, and Caroline handles it appropriately. She then tells the cackling hens and I am right back to thinking she is a snake. Oh well.
Rosie says she feels bad about all the fighting in her family, but she is the one that flies off the handle all the time. Rosie used to be fun, now she is just angry, and angry is not cute. Over to Kathy, she is talking about her cannoli company. For the love of God. Who cares? Leave the gun and take the cannoli? No. Leave the cannoli and shoot yourself with the gun.
Rich and Kathy are talking about her company and he essentially calls her a moron. I feel bad for Kathy that she is humiliated by her husband in such a public way. I think she is inherently kid, in a marriage that is not satisfying her, and staying with a complete asshole because she is scared to go out on her own. Rich is a pig and we all know it, including Kathy, which is sad.
Caroline is at her Hoboken apartment with her kids. Why are we forced to watch these kids and listen to them talking crap? They are trying to justify their parent's marriage and it is sad. Caroline and Albert don't have a good marriage as far as I can tell. Christopher is an idiot, Albie is in the closet, Lauren is a moron, and there is nothing interesting about these kids.
Rosie and Joe are out for a drink and she says she has not had sex for six years. Really? Is that really something you want to share on national television? Now we know why she is on edge all the time. Joe is tormented, Rosie is doing the right thing, and I am pissed off that Bravo is giving us another dark season when we have hung on for so long. It is not fair.
Jac is working with Nicolas and it is heartbreaking. Why she would want to show this makes no sense to me. This precious little boy should be given the respect of privacy. This stupid bitch is using him for sympathy and attention and as a mother I find it heartbreaking and shameful. I am no longer going to write about Jac when she uses her son in this selfish way.
Al is with Caroline and clearly annoyed to be with her. Christopher and Albie are visiting Lauren at her store. Dear Lord. These kids are a mess and I resent having them shoved down my throat. This family has nothing to talk about with each other, so why do we have to watch them? It is awkward and almost creepy. Speaking of which, we flip back to Rich and Kathy.
Rich rents Kathy a kitchen and she is not happy. There is so much tension in their marriage that she cannot be happy. This marriage is falling apart and that is sad, as it always is when reality TV rips people apart. Over with Teresa, she is writing her blog, which nobody thinks she does, and she gets a call from Rosie, inviting her for a drink. Such bullshit. Poor Teresa.
Melissa and her hag, I mean sister, are with her mom and aunt, telling them that she is going to write about the fact that her dad was a cheater. So gross. The man is dead and that they are throwing him under the bus for a dollar is disgusting, We leave the skank and her family to go over to Rich and Kathy. Dear Lord, he is such a pig. I just can't stand to watch them.
Rich is telling Kathy he is the reason she is building her business, and she says he does not value to opinion. To do this on camera, for her kids to see is sad. He makes jokes, she is crying, and I don't care. Cut to Rosie and Tre having a drink. Teresa is calm, Rosie is drunk and belligerent. Again. This is embarrassing, not entertaining, and I am rolling my eyes that we watch.
In the end Rosie and Teresa find a calm place and we are reminded that Rosie is really wonderful, and Teresa is trying. We are pulling for them, which is weird because we should walk away and not care. No matter what side you are on, this show feels like family and we watch because we want peace. If only they could do what we do, which is keep it real.
