Ramirez latest Dodger to go on DL
SAN FRANCISCO – Asked how long he expected to be without shortstop Hanley Ramirez, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly resorted to an obscure medical term.
"A while," he said, a disconsolate note in his voice. "I hope that puts it in the right category for you."
A medical miracle did not happen overnight and the Dodgers placed Ramirez on the DL with a strained left hamstring suffered as he tried to go from first to third base on a single in the sixth inning of Friday's game. Dee Gordon was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and started at shortstop Saturday.
"I don't know how to put a timetable on these things," Mattingly said of Ramirez's hamstring injury. "You never really know when a guy's ready or not with these things because you can't ever get to the intensity (in workouts) that you need to get to, where you're going to make an explosive movement and ask more of your body (like you would in a game). They seem to take awhile.
"We'd been looking forward to having him in there and he was swinging the bat well. Then to lose him again right away – it's tough."
Ramirez was 5 for 11 in four games since returning from a torn ligament in his right thumb – an injury that also occurred at AT&T Park (during the final game of the World Baseball Classic). Ramirez was able to return from that injury sooner than expected but now faces another frustrating stretch of time out of action.
"Definitely, definitely (frustrating)," Ramirez said. "I was so excited to get back on the field. Then this happened now. But nothing's going to stop me. I'm going to keep working hard. It's going to make me stronger."
When Ramirez injured his thumb in March, the Dodgers quickly dismissed Gordon as an option to replace him, turning to Luis Cruz and Justin Sellers instead. Those two have offered nothing offensively – Sellers is batting .194 and Cruz .098. The choice to promote Gordon is clearly an acknowledgment that they hope to get some kind of offensive contribution from Ramirez's replacement this time.
"We'd like to see what he can do for us," Mattingly said of Gordon. "If he gets on base, he creates runs. We're hoping he can do that."
Gordon will not admit to being stung by the spring decision to go with Sellers and Cruz. But he responded well in Albuquerque, batting .314 with a .397 on-base percentage, 14 steals in 16 attempts and 19 runs scored in 25 games.
"There's a plan for everybody. It wasn't the plan for me to be here then," Gordon said. "I could have gone over there and been a punk about it, moaned about it. I chose to play."
Mattingly praised Gordon for the progress he made in spring training and at Triple-A Albuquerque in "maturing" as a player, specifically in his sense of the strike zone. But the plan to have Gordon spend the entire year in Triple-A developing had to be scrapped, he said.
"If guys were playing better, we wouldn't have to go that way," Mattingly said. "If Cruzer was hitting .300, if Sells was hitting .300 – we probably wouldn't do this. But that's not how the game goes."
Mattingly said Gordon will be the primary shortstop in Ramirez's absence but he is happy with Carl Crawford as the leadoff hitter and won't ask Gordon to step into a role at the top of the lineup. A year ago, Gordon made 62 starts as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter and struggled mightily to get on base.
"I'm ready to play," Gordon said. "I'm here to play. I'm going to play the way I play and play hard. That's it. And hopefully help the Dodgers win games."
Just over three weeks after fracturing his left clavicle, right-hander Zack Greinke threw a 60-pitch bullpen session, using all of his pitches, before Saturday's game. Greinke also had a shorter throwing session Thursday before the team traveled to San Francisco, according to Mattingly.
It is a clear sign that Greinke is ahead of schedule in his recovery. The original prognosis had Greinke missing at least eight weeks but it now appears possible that he could shave as much as two weeks off of that.
"A little bit," Mattingly said when asked if he was surprised to be watching Greinke throw a full bullpen session on the three-week anniversary of the surgery to insert a plate in his clavicle.
Mattingly stood in the batter's box during part of Greinke's throwing session Saturday and a few teammates stood and watched.
"He's feeling pretty good," Mattingly said. "That doesn't mean there aren't still boxes we need to check off. But he's doing really well.
"It's along the lines of Hanley (Ramirez's return from his thumb injury). It seemed like he was ahead of schedule, doing a lot of stuff three weeks out. But I don't know how far away he is."
Crawford was back in the starting lineup Saturday after missing three games with a hamstring injury. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez was written into the lineup after missing Friday's game with a sore neck but he was scratched after trying to take batting practice. Gonzalez said he is unable to turn his head to track pitches without feeling a sharp pain in his neck. ... Second baseman Mark Ellis missed his seventh game with a quadriceps injury in his right leg. "Monday that is going to have to get resolved," Mattingly said. Unless he is ready to play by Monday, Ellis will likely go on the DL to clear a roster spot for left-hander Chris Capuano (calf strain) who will come off the DL to pitch against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Pegatron show off mini Tegra-2 powered bamboo box
Tidy little HTPC number?
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
The folks at Engadget have spotted a compact nettop'ish type system from Pegatron which is said to be based on NVIDIA's Tegra 2 platform. This would mean it should have no worries in decoding 1080p and flash video content, making it a nice cheap, tidy little option for the right type of HTPC user in the lounge.
The style is interesting, but certainly not to everyones taste. It looks to be a bamboo designed casing over a thin plastic box.
The unit has HDMI, Ethernet, microphone and speaker plugs located round the back.
You can find some more angles of the unit at the source. No word on pricing or availability yet.

Are San Diegans Getting Too Much Or Too Little Sun?
Monday, June 21, 2010
Aired 6/21/10
Protecting ourselves from the rays of the sun seems like a good idea. But there are some real questions about how much protection we really get from sunscreen. And one skin cancer specialist says we may be sacrificing some important protection by rejecting the golden rays.
SAN DIEGO Protecting ourselves from the rays of the sun seems like a good idea. But there are some real questions about how much protection we really get from sunscreen. And one skin cancer specialist says we may sacrificing some important protection by rejecting the golden rays.
Mission Beach in the middle of the afternoon attracts lots of sunbathers showing lots of skin. But most of these people seem very aware of the dangers of too much sun. Wes Conner wears a straw hat as he sits on a beach chair, equipped with a built-in canvas awning that he sits underneath.
"I'm a white Irish kid," said Conner. "So I burn really, really easy."
His wife, Mary, meanwhile lies in the full sun wearing a bikini. But she's covered with sunscreen, and she said she wears it on her neck and face every day, whether she goes to the beach or not. She described the sunscreen she wears.
"UVA and UVB-block. At least 30 SPF," she said. "SPF stands for what?" I ask. "Hmm... good question," she said.
There certainly are pros and cons of being out in the sun.
"Definitely one of the pros is the euphoria of being in the sun and certainly being in San Diego. It's one of the reasons we're here," said Vic Ross, a dermatologist at Scripps Clinic. "And the downside is the daily aging that the sun really has on the skin day by day. And living here, versus living somewhere else, you really feel it."
Ross highly recommends sunscreens, which, used correctly, block ultra-violet rays that prematurely age and wrinkle the skin and cause some kinds of skin cancer. But he admits one problem with most sunscreens is they don't effectively block all ultra-violet light.
Let's get back to that question, I asked Mary, about SPF. It stands for sun protection factor. You may have a bottle of sunscreen that has a 50 SPF. But look closely at the bottle and you'll see that protective factor is for UVB rays. The sun's UVA rays are not as effectively blocked by opaque sunscreens.
Vic Ross said, "The FDA has been working on a UVA protection factor for years and there's no consensus among the sunscreen industry and physicians and panels and an adequate UVA protection factor."
Ross added the only way to make sure you're doing a good job stopping UVA rays is to wear zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Unfortunately those can make you look like you're wearing kabuki makeup. One San Diego physician said you might be better off wearing no sunscreen at all.
Dr. Greg Daniels is an oncologist at UCSD whose specialty is melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. He says there is a link between high sun exposure and some skin cancers. But the incidence of melanoma has actually gone up as our society has focused more on UV protection and and is spending more and more time working indoors.
"Melanoma, 100 years ago, was really a one in 5,000 kind of lifetime experience," said Daniels. "And now in the U.S. for somebody like myself, it's a one in 40 lifetime experience. So something dramatic is going on."
He said pigment and melanin in the skin are protective against melanoma. That's why African Americans have lower rates of that skin cancer. Daily unprotected sun exposure also produces more melanin in our skin and, Daniels believes, better protection against melanoma. He said our society's fear of sun burns and skin aging may actually be putting us white people in particular, in more danger.
"We don't quite know what we're doing to ourselves," said Daniels. "It clearly hasn't worked in Australia where they've been trying this for 30 years with a very strong national campaign of sunscreen, and the incidence for melanoma continues to go up almost unabated."
Back at Mission Beach, a woman with a dark tan is playing with her kids. If Greg Daniels' theory is correct, she may actually be better prepared to avoid a deadly form of skin cancer. But Lisa said she is starting to think seriously about starting to use sunscreen.
"I'm starting to get concerned about sun exposure because I'm getting older. I'm 40, and I'm starting to see wrinkles an so forth," she said.
Dr. Vic Ross says when it comes to avoiding sun damage for cosmetic concerns and for most forms of skin cancer, the rule remains -- the less sun the better.

I liked this topic a lot, but I fear that it left out a huge thing that contributes to the rise of skin cancer. Tanning beds. I wish that you had discussed the increase use of indoor tanning and the gender differences in increased skin cancer rates (higher among women due to excessive indoor tanning). Not speaking about this I fear leaves people with a false impression that tanning is somehow better for you without sunscreen than with. Please follow up with something on this important topic.

When i think of how much time I spent surfing PB in my 20s without sunscreen, I definitely regret not being more careful. Agree with above poster, and author, be certain your sunscreen works. Also limit your UV exposure regardless.I'm also using this free UV detector app for my iPhone that gives me forecasts and alerts http://bit.ly/aOVgNQ

I wonder how much of the increased incidence of melanoma also has something to do with people having too much faith in their sunscreen "protecting" them and thinking they can stay out in the sun longer without added protection. It is surprisingly a challenge to find sunscreens that have physical barriers like zinc or titanium oxide and don't contain oxybenzone.

I can't wait to try it out, I just got a SNES for my birthday and have been playing Jurassic Park on there. It made me realize we haven't had a good JP game in awhile.
Posted: June 8, 2011 6:49 AM -
I'm excited about this game and thought more people would be too but apparently not. Maybe it's because everyone thought it was going to be something else but the moment telltale games said they took inspiration from Heavy Rain should have given everyone an idea of what it's going to be like. Sorry it's not a shooter.
Posted: April 9, 2011 8:48 AM -
Ahamkara222- Jurassic Park =/= Resident Evil. Go do something constructive for a change and read the book.
Do people seriously still care about graphics or gameplay when it comes to video games? I'd heard rumors about this site- now I see they're true.Posted: April 7, 2011 2:24 PM -
I am scared for this game... I think it can be a fresh concept (i.e. dinosaurs, Jurassic Park, etc.) for the year and very fun/good, but there's also a decent chance that it will flop. I'm hoping for the former here: maybe Jurassic Park can come back with a fun new game?
Posted: April 7, 2011 1:09 PM -
ok even as corny as I truly believe this game can turn out to be.. I have to say I will get it just because the Jurassic Park movies are among my top 10 most beloved movies. Hopefully it will be better than what I'm imagining ...
Posted: April 7, 2011 5:43 AM -
Just my honest opinion, but if they wanted to win back the fans of this franchise, they should have copied Capcom's approach. Like what they did with the original Resident Evil. Soup up the graphics and visuals to rediculous levels and release a super fear enducing game that has you on the edge of your seat. No lie, I actually almost didn't want to play the RE1 remake cause it was that frightening, even though the locale was familiar. Jurassic Park should do the same thing.
Posted: April 7, 2011 3:14 AM -
I'm really afraid this game is just a Heavy Rain clone, which is a shame.
Posted: April 6, 2011 9:46 PM -
It's a downloadable title with 5 episodes released over time $30 for the package or $6 an episode. So for those of you that are hacking on the visuals... understand what it is. As long as the pameplay and story are there it should be worth it. Now for those of you asking where the games are, open your eyes... 2011 has already had Killzone 3, Little Big Planet 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, DC Universe Online, and Bulletstorm just to name some... and Portal 2, SOCOM 4 and Mortal Kombat are coming this month. So, open your eyes... there's plenty to play out there.

I definitely will wait to see all the reviews on this game before I spend any money. I suspect its worse than the movie, and more about cut scenes of dinosaurs, than actual quality game play. All the lead characters they showed in this trailer, are all uglier looking than the dinosaurs. That's usually a good indicator, on what to expect !

Ya really were the hell are all the good games at?i now one thing this is not one.

Where are all of the good games at? Let me rephrase that, where are ANY good games at right now? I don't want to wait till I'm broke in like 2 months, I want a great game now, well where the heck are they? come on. I keep taking my games off of preorder cause they just aren't up to par. Come on, suprise me.
Posted: April 6, 2011 6:02 PM -
Looks kinda dumb..I know the graphics on the chic could b a lot better!
Posted: April 6, 2011 3:34 PM -
At least the graphics reflect the year the original movie was released. Oh, wait, that's a bad thing. The humans look horrible.
Posted: April 6, 2011 12:51 PM -
I really don't expect anyone to like this game unless they were in the theaters when this movie came out. Anyone too young to have been in the seats to see Jurassic Park in 92... I can't imagine they'd given even half a dmp about this game.
I'm excited though.Posted: April 6, 2011 12:56 AM -
some how i cant think of it like a grittier version of "Viva Pinta"

2 billion pixels of Mount Everest...
Says David Breashears.
Here's the image.
9 comments:
- Bob said...
Did you see the story on the dead bodies of Mt. Everest?
- Erika said...
Bob--that was my first thought as well. "Where are the bodies?"
- Petunia said...
In 1996, David Breashears was leading an IMAX filming team on Everest. His team was a day or so behind the groups who all tried to summit on the same day, just as a storm was moving in. When word reached his team of the disaster unfolding above them, Breashears made his team's tents, oxygen, and other supplies at Camp IV (the highest camp) available without question, even though that jeopardized his filming project.
He and other members of his team then climbed up and helped some of the stricken climbers to safety.
Definitely the right thing to do...and at least one other expedition on the mountain at the time refused to help. - 12/18/12, 9:03 PM
- Patrick said...
I did see that Bob. It's nowhere near the top of the list why I wouldn't climb Everest, but even without all of those others, that would preclude a climb for me. Too many dead bodies, and I don't want to be in a position where I'd just have to step over a guy who was dying because otherwise I would die too. Not my idea of a good time.
But that is a cool photo. - 12/18/12, 9:14 PM
- Patrick said...
Petunia, I think Breasher's film was all the better because of it.
- Kit said...
Awesome. I am no mountaineer, but this is pretty cool. You can even see tents and climbers @Camp 2.
- BaltoHvar said...
This is stunning and gorgeous -
Sadly, the Mountain has been turned into a Tourist Attraction, and not only are bodies now littering the climbing routes, other refuse piles up every year. Not sure how to mitigate the problems of opening it to any Tom, Dick and Harriet with a fat wallet and a near-death wish. - 12/19/12, 9:09 AM
- bagoh20 said...
Amazing scale. I thought the little colored items in the foreground were Oxygen tanks and trash, but on zooming in, it was an entire camp with buildings. Awesome!
- bagoh20 said...
I take some risks, but climbing that mountain has no appeal to me. It was done long ago by people with no Oxygen, ancient equipment, and nobody's experienced advice to help, and it's been done by thousands, so it's not like doing something really special today. It's just dangerous and hard and little else in my analysis. It sounds incredibly uncomfortable, grueling and less rewarding than that's worth to me.
Also there is something about leaving people - who are just just like you - to die, never trying to retrieve them, and stepping over their bodies that's just not a club I want to belong to.
I have had a number of friends die in "extreme" sports that I enjoy, but they were doing something relatively safe, that's enjoyable, and that they could do everyday if they had time. They would never do it if it involved doing it around the strewn bodies of others who tried it, but failed.
I've changed my opinion on Everest. This obsession is sick. - 12/19/12, 10:28 AM

The Anderson County Extension Service is one step closer to being able to collect property taxes.
During its meeting Tuesday night, the Anderson County Fiscal Court allowed a first reading of an ordinance that would give taxing authority to the extension service.
Although the rates could change during a required second reading of the ordinance, magistrates proposed a tax rate that means property owners will pay an additional tax of $16 per $100,000 of assessed value.

Brun's theorem
In number theory, Brun's theorem states that the sum of the reciprocals of the twin primes (pairs of prime numbers which differ by 2) converges to a finite value known as Brun's constant, usually denoted by B2 (sequence A065421 in the OEIS). Brun's theorem was proved by Viggo Brun in 1919, and it has historical importance in the introduction of sieve methods.
Asymptotic bounds on twin primes[edit]
The convergence of the sum of reciprocals of twin primes follows from bounds on the density of the sequence of twin primes. Let denote the number of primes p ≤ x for which p + 2 is also prime (i.e. is the number of twin primes with the smaller at most x). Then, for x ≥ 3, we have
That is, twin primes are less frequent than prime numbers by nearly a logarithmic factor. It follows from this bound that the sum of the reciprocals of the twin primes converges, or stated in other words, the twin primes form a small set. In explicit terms the sum
either has finitely many terms or has infinitely many terms but is convergent: its value is known as Brun's constant.
The fact that the sum of the reciprocals of the prime numbers diverges implies that there are infinitely many prime numbers. Because the sum of the reciprocals of the twin primes instead converges, it is not possible to conclude from this result that there are finitely many or infinitely many twin primes. Brun's constant could be an irrational number only if there are infinitely many twin primes.
Numerical estimates[edit]
By calculating the twin primes up to 1014 (and discovering the Pentium FDIV bug along the way), Thomas R. Nicely heuristically estimated Brun's constant to be 1.902160578.[1] Nicely has extended his computation to 1.6×1015 as of 18 January 2010 but this is not the largest computation of its type.
In 2002 Pascal Sebah and Patrick Demichel used all twin primes up to 1016 to give the estimate:
It is based on extrapolation from the sum 1.830484424658... for the twin primes below 1016. Dominic Klyve showed conditionally (in an unpublished thesis) that B2 < 2.1754 (assuming the extended Riemann hypothesis).[2]
There is also a Brun's constant for prime quadruplets. A prime quadruplet is a pair of two twin prime pairs, separated by a distance of 4 (the smallest possible distance). The first prime quadruplets are (5, 7, 11, 13), (11, 13, 17, 19), (101, 103, 107, 109). Brun's constant for prime quadruplets, denoted by B4, is the sum of the reciprocals of all prime quadruplets:
with value:
- B4 = 0.87058 83800 ± 0.00000 00005, the error range having a 99% confidence level according to Nicely.[3]
This constant should not be confused with the Brun's constant for cousin primes, as prime pairs of the form (p, p + 4), which is also written as B4. Wolf derived an estimate for the Brun-type sums Bn of 4/n.
Further results[edit]
Let (sequence A005597 in the OEIS) be the twin prime constant. Then it is conjectured that
In particular,
for every and all sufficiently large x.
Many special cases of the above have been proved. Most recently, Jie Wu proved that for sufficiently large x,
where 4.5 corresponds to in the above.
In popular culture[edit]
The digits of Brun's constant were used in a bid of $1,902,160,540 in the Nortel patent auction. The bid was posted by Google and was one of three Google bids based on mathematical constants.[4]

...though Kyousuke and Manami should have had their own assigned locations too...

Zomgz, we even got some insight into Kyousuke's character. So it looks Kuroneko and Kyouske's relationship can finally progress with that realization. Of course, Kuroneko still has her own issues that have to be dealt with first.
Also lol@ Saori for being nuts. Loved the end.

I can't believe my Kuroneko could be so awesome!
Loved the episode, and count me as another person who enjoys the show more now one of the main characters is no longer around. The whole outing of Sena scene was hilarious. No! I mean, it was amusing in context as well, but I've always liked Saori as a character and wouldn't mind some more Saori-centric material. |

It may simply be that she'd like "alone time" with Kyou but is at a loss on how to accomplish that. More "group dates" won't improve the odds. A lot of viewers commit the error of 'armchair analysis' for these situations in stories ("she's an idiot, she should just blahblahblah") without any idea of how fearful these situations can be.

This episode should be called "Kirino - Good F'KN RIDDANCE!!!" because there wasn't an ounce of that annoying brat or her bratty friends in this episode. The moment I saw Kuro and Saori in Kyo's room, I instantly had a grin that lasted for most of the episode.
Me:"Saori, you're too good to be friends with Kirino. You deserve better!" It was very endearing how Saori showed concern and anger about Kirino's sudden departure. I don't recall seeing her so emotional before. It somehow gave it more impact that it was between her usual funny antics, prob because I didn't expect it. I like this Akagi girl very much compared to any of the 3 evil b...I mean witches(Kirino/Ayase/girl3 whose name escapes me). I was impressed that, despite her not wanting to be labeled an otaku, she still was not ashamed to admit her hobbies when confronted, unlike a CERTAIN someone . When she revealed she was a fujoshi and talked about her yaoi fantasies, that part was HILARIOUS ! Then after all that, her pouty voice when she was apologizing to her brother on the phone was seriously ADORABLE X03!!! Focusing on Kuro was indeed FAR more enjoyable than ANY of the stints that Kirino had. Unlike Kirino, Kuro doesn't overpower every character on screen with her [annoying] presence. Things felt 'balanced' in that both Kuro and Kyo were actually communicating with each other rather than one pushing the other away. Even if his wish to get closer to Kuro is some odd feeling of missing Kirino, I feel that with time, they can create a bond closer with each other than Kirino ever had with him. I certainly don't mind that one bit and will be looking forward to seeing how their friendship will continue to grow(and hope Kirino will never return by the end of this series). |

This episode is as good an adaption as it go base on the anime. Sena's intro was handled pretty well and Kuroneko is great.
My only wish would be that now they decide to put Saori's rant about Kirino in, I really hope they would have S2 planned since this rant ties to Saori's personal background. Quote:
While I agree that Kuroneko's cold attitude is to blame for her not having any friend, but this is bullying neverthless, and as cold as she is, she still doesn't deserve that. I don't know if you guys are familiar this, cleaning duties are NOT PUNISHMENT. Its a common knowledge that East Asian schools (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, etc.) assigns shared school areas (including rest room) to each classes on rotating basis (in addition to their own homerooms) for cleaning duties. (unlike America, where janitors takes care all of this) The area is usually pretty big and you never assign just 1 person to clean that area. It's usually a group of 4-6 students (or more depends on the size of school) on rotating basis. With that being said, it's clear that Kuroneko was been left with all the cleaning duties whiles the others skipped out on her. You can blame that her loneliness was her own fault, but that doesn't mean that she deserves to get taken advantage of. It like blaming a molested victim for wearing short skirt or a rape victim for going to night clubs.... Quote:
Usually, there is a period assigned for the whole class to clean the home room and surrounded area, the additional shared/common school ground such as stairs, stuff room, restroom, court yard, that was assigned is usually left for after school and that duty is usually assigned on rotating basis within the class. So, Ruri and others (who skipped on her) had the extra cleaning duty (in addition to the homeroom) that day while Kyosuke and Manami didn't (they only have to clean the homeroom with the rest of class)

Without evil there is no good.. because you have no metric to work with. Without Kirino, the series doesn't have the basis by which the other characters are marked.

What I'd assumed is that Manami and Kyousuke and all other students had already finished their areas and were heading back to their classroom (with Kuroneko still there because she was the only one who show up and just didn't have enough time). But it could also be that they're assigned on alternate days because of student numbers, since Kyousuke said "today" rather than "this place" *shrugs* - I'm sure there are several different systems in use in Japan.

My guess is it depends on school, my elementary school does both during the same time, but my junior high has them separate until I moved here to U.S.
40 people clean the classroom isn't that much stretch when you only have 10-15 mins, usually you got around 10 people on windows (both side of class room). 2-3 on black board, 2 on black board erasers, 2-3 on garbage, 5-6 people sweep, 5-6 people mop (inside classroom and corridor), the rest swipe desks/chair, moving objects for others to clean, etc. There are also school where they leaves cleaning after school, and have 5-10 people per rotation for everything.... well, you got the idea... Anyway, my favorite part on this episode is when Kyosuke trick Sena into admitting Homo Club is a kami-ge and Kuroneko gave this evil smile in the corner as she ties up the garbage bag. That is by far my favorite detail in the episode.

-OP was a lot fun to watch. Seeing Kirino & Kuroneko's favorite characters go at it was a cool concept seeing as I'm a sucker for crossovers.
-I all but died & went to heaven right about here: Spoiler for saori:
-Call me dense, but are they really trying to imply that Kuroneko likes kyousuke? Awesome episode overall. 10/10 |

Well everyone has said everything I've wanted to say
So All I'll add is that the odds of Sena owning every game of the Cho Aniki series are 100%

Hedge fund managers refusing to provide transparency is the single greatest reason for an investor veto, according to Deutsche Bank's Global Prime Finance group's third annual Operational Due Diligence Survey.
The survey, which polled investors globally representing over USD2.72trn of assets, shows the five most frequently cited red flags are an unwillingness to provide transparency, inadequate compliance policies, poor segregation of duties, lack of experience in critical roles and inappropriate valuation policies.
Investors and regulators require more robust operating infrastructure across all levels of a hedge fund's business. Emerging managers in particular are more likely to provide greater transparency.
Expenses charged to the fund come under more scrutiny - 64 per cent of respondents will investigate miscellaneous expenses and may place limits. Investors have little tolerance for expenses such as employee compensation, marketing and non-research related travel being charged to the fund.
The vast majority of ODD teams are willing to provide feedback to managers to enable an investment - While 65 per cent of responding investors have the right to block an investment entirely, 81 per cent are willing to take a consultative approach to allow a manager to remedy a stated deficiency and re-engage with the investor.
Outsourcing of key functions is a more accepted practice for emerging managers - 68 per cent of respondents were willing to invest with emerging managers. Investors are slightly more likely to veto an emerging versus established manager (nine per cent veto rate versus six per cent), and will spend more time reviewing daily operations and speaking with senior management including the CIO and fund directors. However they are more accepting of outsourcing key functions.
Valuation is in sharp focus for 38 per cent of responding investors in 2014 - valuation concerns were a top five reason investors issued a veto over the past year. 100 per cent of respondents indicated they will review a fund's valuation policy during the ODD review and 78 per cent stated they will verify the valuation procedure during the on-site review.
Hedge fund compliance and regulatory frameworks are of critical importance - 73 per cent of investors will increase their focus on compliance and regulatory frameworks in 2015. In the face of a challenging cross-border regulatory environment, investors must understand how managers will mitigate the risk posed by registration, reporting and the exams required by regulators.
Scott Carter, co-head of global prime finance & distribution, Americas, says: "Investors increasingly access hedge funds as part of a broader set of portfolio solutions which deliver superior risk adjusted returns. With this comes an expectation for robust operational controls and we are seeing hedge funds successfully respond to these demands".
The survey polled 70 investor entities globally with a hedge fund allocation in excess of USD730bn, including consultants, endowments, public pensions, government organisations, insurance companies, funds of funds, private banks and family offices.

What is Marvel's Ironman comic book hero but an average guy with a failing heart wearing a really awesome exoskeleton? It's not as implausible as, say, a "man who can fly" or a dude who turns into a giant green body builder when he's angry. So why should be surprised when we hear that a real-world "ironman" exoskeleton may be coming to a shipping yard or military operation near you?
According to a report on the Salt Lake Tribune, Massachusetts-based defense contractor Raytheon-Sarcos has developed a 195-lb, full-body suit, the XOS-2 that can make a 200 pound weight feel like 12 pounds and give the wearer the ability to punch through a roughly 6-inch-thick wood wall.
Despite the millions already spent developing the suit, Ratheon's body suit looks nowhere near as impressive as the armor worn by Robert Downey Jr. in the Ironman movies; nor can it travel great distances without an external hydraulic power pack. That will all change, eventually, According to Raytheon executives, tethered industrial use could come as early as three years from now. Fully mobile, combat-ready use is at least five years away.
Even so, who doesn't want to try one of these on today?

Nick Diaz. I believe he beat Condit and I think Hendricks lost to Koscheck. Regardless, GSP wants the fight more, and I think Diaz presents much more of a threat compared to Hendricks. PUT THAT ON YOUR MAIN PAGE.
KOing Fitch and Kampmann in less than a minute combined within a 12month span > the other guy losing a fight and getting suspended. Close or not, its a LOSS on his record...just like close or not, Johny has the WIN on his record for the Koscheck fight. Mad Diaz hardcores are just still mad.
+1 You really can't even argue that Diaz deserves a shot. He lost his last fight, whether Diaz fans want to accept it or not it is still a loss, and no one deserves to fight for the title off of a loss.

Two of Luther Seminary's international alums, the Rev. Dr. Musa Panti Filibus, '98, and the Rev. Dr. Elieshi Mungure, '07, have taken prominent positions at the Lutheran World Federation. Filibus, who previously served as LWF Area Secretary for Africa, has been appointed director of the LWF Department for Mission and Development (DMD) for a term of four years. Mungure will replace Filibus as the LWF Area Secretary for Africa. She began her work in Geneva on April 1.
The Rev. Dr. Elieshi Mungure, '07 LWF Area Secretary for Africa
Elieshi Mungure is a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. She holds a Ph.D. from Luther Seminary. Prior to accepting the call to LWF, Mungure served as professor of theology and dean of students at Makumira University College in Tanzania.
Mungure was attracted to her new position because of her "faith in being called to serve in God's global church and the community. I feel blessed when I can offer my service for others."
Mungure seeks to foster a holistic missional approach, empowering communities to live and practice a theology of peace and reconciliation. She hopes that this approach will spread throughout the continent of Africa, bringing a focus on human livelihood and integrity of all creation, saying, "My prayer is to live in a world where God's shalom prevails."
She credits Luther Seminary with preparing her for this new position, specifically the opportunity she had to interact with the global community, as well as the comprehensive education and voices represented at Luther. She says, "Through interaction with the global community, Luther Seminary saw my gifts and nurtured them into who I am now."
The Rev. Dr. Musa Filibus, '98 Director of LWF Department for Mission and Development
Musa Panti Filibus is a pastor in the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria. He holds a Ph.D. in pastoral theology from Luther Seminary. As director of the LWF Department for Mission and Development, Dr. Filibus will "urge member churches to take more prayerfully their call to witness Christ (and) work together to transform tragic situations that destroy human dignity and creation."
According to the LWF Asia Lutheran Communion website, "Dr. Filibus hopes to encourage the LWF Asian member churches—particularly located in a region that is unmatched in terms of its multi-religious nature—to search for new ways of engaging their neighbors of different faiths for the care of creation. ... Equally, he (hopes to) encourage member churches to reaffirm the crucial role of prophetic diakonia in their overall ministries and, in collaboration with the wider Christian family, give hope to many in (LWF's) different contexts."

Chi Cheng, the bassist for the Deftones who has been in a coma since 2008, has passed away. He was 42.
Four years ago, Cheng suffered major injuries from a car accident in Santa Clara, Calif. He had not been wearing a seatbelt at the time and was ejected from the vehicle during the crash, and the resulting injuries left him in a coma. He remained in that unresponsive state in the years since, though he did show some brief signs of improvement and even came out of the coma on a few occassions. Despite being moved home for recovery, Cheng passed away in a hospital at 3 a.m. on April 13.
His mother released a statement on the charity website Oneloveforchi.com:
"Our dearest Family,
"This is the hardest thing to write to you. Your love and heart and devotion to Chi was unconditional and amazing. I know that you will always remember him as a giant of a man on stage with a heart for every one of you. He was taken to the emegency [sic] room and at 3 am today his heart just suddenly stopped. He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear.
"He fought the good fight.You stood by him sending love daily. He knew that he was very loved and never alone. I will write more later. I will be going through the oneloveforchi and any other information may not be reliable. If you have any stories or messages to share please send them to the onelove site. Please hold Mae and Ming and the siblings and especially Chi's son, Gabriel in your prayers. It is so hard to let go.
With great love and 'Much Respect!' Mom J (and Chi)"

This is the HTML format of the list of nicknames for colleges in the United States of America. (All versions currently available by FTP are unauthorized by the compiler, and probably outdated.) It is listed alphabetically by nickname, and then by the formal name of the school.
The common word "Fighting" has been eliminated, because so many schools have that word before their actual team name.
This list is very long, but it is not exhaustive, nor even close to it... look at the last part of this page to see why. I want to thank everybody from around the world who has contributed to this massive compilation...
ATS Consultants College Football Odds NCAA Vegas Odds Expert NCAA Basketball Picks NCAA Tournament Picks Sports Handicappers College Basketball Odds Sports Betting Systems
Many people have asked if it is possible to re-list this compilation by the name of the college. Lots of people have complained of taking too much time to find whatever school they are looking for. Contrary to popular belief, this list was not created from a database -- it was done manually. To find a particular school, use the "find" or "search" feature in your web browser. Be sure to type in a phrase or word which is part of the official name of the school.
Schools that are in any athletic division of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and/or the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) are accepted to this list. As a matter of fact, there are three criteria that a school must have to be included on this list. First, they must be in the United States of America. (This means only the fifty states and the District of Columbia.) Secondly, they must be able to grant at least bachelor's or baccalaureate degrees. Finally, it must not be primarily identified as a junior college (juco), a community college (CC), or some other type of two-year school that grants only associate's degrees and certificates. If I did include them, and this list would be ridiculously long. (As if it isn't already!)
It may look like exceptions do exist, such as the schools in Canada that play in the NAIA. However, because they are outside the United States of America, I cannot accept them on this list. However, I would be more than willing to put the links for other nickname lists in other countries (or for American junior colleges/community colleges) on this list.
If you have any comments, questions, or requests for changing specific entries on the list, please send me electronic mail so I can update it!
I do not have a nickname listed for these schools. If you know the nickname of one or more of them (or if you know that a school listed below has no nickname to begin with), or if you know of a school but not its nickname, please send me mail and I will add it to this part of the list.

Odom welcomes Nowitzki matchup
By CURTIS ZUPKE
The Orange County Register
EL SEGUNDO - Lamar Odom doesn't mind getting one more shot at the reigning MVP.
Dirk Nowitzki made a surprise return from ankle and knee injuries Wednesday and will be in the linuep when Dallas plays the Lakers on Friday.
Odom was asked half-jokingly if he was hoping to miss Nowitzki.
"No," Odom said. "I'm kind of looking forward to that matchup. That's a player that I like to see. It really tests me. It tests my defense a little bit. I'm glad he's back out there."
Nowitzki has averaged 30.3 points and 11.3 rebounds in three games against the Lakers this season. The Lakers have won two of the first three meetings.

Fantasy baseball Roundtable: Can Puig keep up his blazing pace?
We mentioned Yasiel Puig in last week's roundtable, but the young Cuban has become a MLB sensation. But now we ask, how long can he keep this up? And speaking of young players on fire, Domonic Brown keeps surprising us game after game. Should an owner trade him high, or just let him ride out his streak? Our experts Michael Beller and Eric mack have some answers for curious owners.
Do you have a fantasy question that you want our experts to answer? Leave it in the comments below or find Beller and Mack on Twitter. We will be printing and answering them every Wednesday in the SI.com Roundtable.
WEEK 11: Fantasy baseball Weekend Primer | Weekly Planner | Waiver Wire | Pitching Report | Injury Report | Roundtable | Advanced Stats Focus | Trade Tips | Prospect Watch
1. Yasiel Puig has turned into a West Coast sensation nearly overnight. Can he keep up his blazing pace?
Mack: Puig is more than just a West Coast sensation, he's a international marvel right now. But that's an easy answer, because no one keeps up this kind of pace. Everyone struggles somewhere along the line, including players like Mike Trout and Miguel Cabrera. The important question regarding Puig is do you sell high, hold, or even buy into this phenomenon? Former Mets GM Steve Phillips asked me on Sirius XM Fantasy Radio on Tuesday if I was more bullish on Domonic Brown or Puig. My answer was to capitalize on the hype. Right now, everyone believes Puig is the second-coming. If an owner can score a more consistent veteran between the ages 26-30 that was picked in the early rounds of your draft this March, you should take it.
Beller: I really wish Mack would have left some meat on this bone, but I think he nailed it. No, Puig won't keep up this pace. Yes, he is legit, and his floor for the rest of the season is solid starter in a 12-team league. If someone is willing to give you $1.20 on the dollar for him because they're intoxicated with his hot start, take it immediately. I will add that you should place a higher premium on him if you're in a keeper league. How high depends on your league's specific rules, but we could be talking about a guy who is a first- or second-round pick before too long.
CORCORAN: Yasiel Puig hit in the face with a pitch, but stays in the game
2. What impact, if any, does the Mets' subpar conditions at their minor league stadium (Las Vegas 51s) have on their top prospects like Zach Wheeler?
Mack: In Wheeler's case it hasn't really hurt him much; he's still the most-owned minor league pitcher in fantasy, and the subpar statistics won't keep him from making his major league debut next week against the Braves. Las Vegas is place for hitters, which is why Bryce Harper did his one year of community college there. It can give Mets hitting prospects like Wilmer Flores confidence. It might also help give recently demoted Ike Davis some confidence. Among the Mets pitchers there, Wheeler is the only one really worthy of fantasy consideration and his talent is such that a bad park won't affect his confidence. The widely held belief is Wheeler is going to pitch much better with the Mets than he ever did in Las Vegas. Judging by Matt Harvey's hot start, who has pitched better in the majors than he did in the minors, we probably should follow suit on that belief with Wheeler.
Beller: I don't think it has much of an impact on a guy with Wheeler's ability. The conditions in Vegas aren't a surprise to anyone who pitches there, and the Mets have been grooming Wheeler for the majors from the moment they acquired him. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he has been told not to worry about his results in Vegas so long as his mechanics and command are on point. If there were signs that pitching in this environment were getting in his head to the point of stunting his growth that would be a concern, but that certainly doesn't appear to be applicable in Wheeler's case. Most parks in the Pacific Coast League favor hitters to the extreme, but it still manages to produce its fair share of stud pitchers once they reach the majors. We shouldn't let this bother us when valuing Wheeler.
3. Do I cash in on Domonic Brown (in a 13-team modified H2H) or let him ride?
- @NevAriJason
Mack: Like was said with Puig above, you have to consider your alternatives with a player blowing away expectations like Brown is. Brown and Puig are both legit talents, so they are viable players to hold on to, but if someone is offering you a veteran early round talent that is in his prime from age 26 to 30, you should consider selling. Neither Brown nor Puig will consistently be this good -- many would have to agree with that -- but finding a trade partner out there willing to bet the farm on them is likely to be tough. Barring the right offer, you should hold on to Brown.
Beller: Everybody knows the mantra "sell high," but that doesn't mean it's easy to do. You have to be open to moving a player like Brown, but just because he's outpacing what anyone expected of him this year doesn't mean you're duty-bound to trade him. Remember, your trade partner understands the idea of selling high, too. He or she likely also knows that Brown has been playing just a bit over his head this year. Your best bet for selling high is finding someone in your league desperate for power. They're the kind of owners who might be forced to look the other way while buying a surprising player at his peak value.
CHEN: Dominic Brown finally having a breakout season for the Phillies
4. What am I supposed to do with Headley and Castro? I have Kinsler coming off the DL soon and they've been my worst players.
- @hrmiller24
Mack: Don't expect Chase Headley to replicate last season's breakthrough at age 27, but both he and Starlin Castro are a lot better than they have shown this year. These are two talented players who will get hot for you, so don't give up on them. Since Headley is a third baseman, Castro is a shortstop and Kinsler is a second baseman, you probably need to look at dropping a player at second base or another position. Headley, Castro and Kinsler are early round picks you cannot cut or trade. You have to ride them until they pay you back.
Beller: I understand your frustrations with Headley and Castro, but both players are way too good to drop, and there's no way you'll get fair value for them in a trade. There has to be someone else on your roster you can better afford to lose. You can also explore 2-for-1 trades to improve your team in a weak area. But don't give up on Headley or Castro.
5. How would you rank the following: B. Norris, J. Quintana, Kluber, Skaggs, Porcello, Wheeler?
- @DalyBeastMode
Mack: Frankly, Wheeler is the only one who classifies as a must-own in a standard 12-team mixed fantasy league right now. Norris and Quintana are fringe options because they pitch for non-contenders; Porcello and Kluber are just too inconsistent; and Skaggs was recently demoted to the minors. Wheeler can potentially impact all leagues right away like the Mets' Harvey did a year ago, which means a tidy ERA and WHIP, a strikeout per inning and roughly a .500 record in the win-loss column. Ranking them, go with: Wheeler, Norris, Quintana, Porcello, Kluber and Skaggs.
Beller: Agreed, Wheeler is in a class by himself. When you're considering back-end options for your rotation, your first question should always be, "Who has the most upside?" Adding a pitcher like this should always be low-risk, high-reward. Wheeler is the only one who fits that bill, so he gets the top spot. Norris has some strikeout upside, so he's next for me. He also remains a cut above the rest in my book. After that, you might as well throw darts. Porcello gets the nod over Quintana because of the teams they play for. Quintana gets it over Kluber because he has more of a track record. Kluber gets it over Skaggs because he's in the majors. That makes my list: Wheeler, Norris, Porcello, Quintana, Kluber, Skaggs.

GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline |
2008 GTA IV PC to boast in-game video editor Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 05:00 PM MDT | By rappo
GameSpot recently published a preview of GTA IV PC that gives us a look at some brand new features. First, GameSpot reports that the game will be highly optimizable to fit your PC's specifications - not only can you change the resolution and lighting, but you'll also have the ability to increase or decrease vehicular traffic rates.
According to GameSpot, the most impressive addition to the PC version, however, is the in-game video editor. The game automatically saves between 30 seconds and three minutes of previous game data (similar to the replay function of past GTA games), which can be saved for later editing by pressing F2. You can then access the editor, which exits your current game, through Niko's cell phone. From there, the editor contains many features to create the perfect video: The most important selection initially is the camera: You have the option of the default game view, which is exactly the view you saw as you played through the segment, the view from any of various nearby targets, several fixed angles--to Niko's right, say, or head-on--as well as a free camera. The free camera has some limitations, though. If you're within about 10 metres of Niko then it really is free, with views possible from any angle from any position inside the area. If you go out of that 10m-or-so circle, you're limited to being pointed at Niko, but you can pan and zoom out quite some distance nonetheless. Other controls include muting voices, adding soundtrack songs or sound effects on top of the video, and pulling together multiple clips. GameSpot has some more interesting anecdotes about the videos they created during their 30-minute game demo, so be sure to read the full article.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah welcomes students of all nationalities. International students face many challenges as they consider pursuing a degree in the USA and at Multnomah but the rewards are many. Furthermore, students from other cultures and backgrounds enrich the life of the University.
International students enroll at Multnomah both as undergraduates (to pursue a bachelor's degree) and in the Seminary and the graduate school. If you are interested in undergraduate studies, please click here to learn more about the admission process. For information about applying to enter a master's degree program at Multnomah Biblical Seminary, click here.
Please contact the Admissions Office for instructions if you are considering one of the following programs:
Studying at an American university or seminary can be quite expensive. For undergraduates, Multnomah may cost US$33,000 or more per year, including personal expenses, insurance and travel. The cost to attend the Seminary can exceed US$25,000.
While Multnomah does have a scholarship program, financial aid is limited. We regret to say that, as a general rule, if you cannot cover at least 80% of the cost through sponsorship or personal financial resources, it probably will not be possible for you to attend Multnomah. If you are not certain of your ability to afford Multnomah, you still are welcome to apply for admission and we will help you through the process of exploring your options.
When you have been accepted for admission and have shown proof of adequate funding, Multnomah will send you a letter of admission and U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services Form I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility." As a general rule, international students need to obtain an F-1 student visa before enrolling at Multnomah. Before applying for an F-1 visa, you may be required to pay a fee of $200, called the "SEVIS fee," to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. You then will need to make an appointment with the American Consulate or Embassy having jurisdiction over your place of permanent residence and take your Form I-20 to them in order to be permitted to enter the United States.
All students are required to have a medical benefit plan. Read more about this on the Student Health Insurance page.

INDIANAPOLIS – The repaved and revised 14-turn Grand Prix road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway may be new to the competitors in Friday's Brickyard Grand Prix, but the vaunted Brickyard itself is a familiar place to many drivers who will compete in the first event at Indy since the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón combined to form the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.
Five drivers who competed in the Indianapolis 500 in May will be racing in Friday's two-hour, 45-minute Brickyard Grand Prix. Jack Hawksworth and Martin Plowman are part of the Prototype Challenge field, along with GT Daytona competitors Townsend Bell and James Davison.
Sage Karam was announced Wednesday as a last-minute replacement for Memo Rojas in the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Ford EcoBoost/Riley in the Prototype class.
Of the five, Karam, an Indy 500 rookie, posted the best finish in the race — ninth.
Karam will join Scott Pruett, a perennial contender in the top class, who has raced in four Indy 500s and two Brickyard 400s in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Pruett, who finished second in the Brickyard Grand Prix in both 2012 and 2013, would like nothing better than to win the race, both for himself and for team owner Chip Ganassi, who needs the victory to complete a trifecta that includes his Indy 500 and Brickyard 400 victories.
Pruett has ground to make up in the championship standings. Still feeling the effects of a disappointing run in the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Pruett trails DP leaders Jordan and Ricky Taylor by 26 points entering Friday's race.
A nagging back issue, however, will keep his regular co-driver Rojas out of the race, but Karam, 19, the reigning Indy Lights champion, will be a capable replacement.

text: The talented New York-based illustrator, Marcos Chin, [responsible for the Lavalife drawings on the subways], 'will demonstrate digital coloring techniques incorporating traditional media' at a workshop put on by the Society of Illustrators. As part of the class, 'a line drawing will be taken, step by step, to a fully rendered final — including shading, layering, patterns, shadows and texture. He will also discuss how to build a consistent aesthetic for advertising campaigns and how to balance commercial and personal work'. The workshop, which is on between 6.30-8.30pm next Wednesday night [October 29], will be followed by a print signing. Registration details are on the Society of Illustrators website.

There's an old saying that goes "you can't get blood from a stone ... and you can't get a two-part reunion out of happiness and smiles."
Read Whole Story
What the Gorgas represent is a backlash to consent that's become shockingly trendy.
Annnd we're back at the aptly named Moxie Salon ("a force of character, determination or nerve") where Teresa is summoning all of hers to shut Penny down. "You wanted to destroy [Melissa], not me," Penny reiterates.
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Melissa Gorga's new book has certainly made headlines this week, but probably not for the reasons Gorga hoped it ...
The same day "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Melissa Gorga released her book, Love, Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage, she ...
We open with Melissa and Joe in the bathroom, which is a fitting setting for all the sh-- they're talking. They've got a really bad taste in their mouths -- and this time, it's actually not from the self-tanner they ingest.
Though Teresa obviously orchestrated a hot mess of rumors and lies, Penny says that it's all over now. "She asked me to squash it" she says seriously, as if this is her day job and she's handing in her final report.
On the last night of the trip, alcohol (the ultimate therapist) helps convince the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" gang that they had a great time.
The group is off to their "horse healing." I'm picturing a pony dressed up in a saucy Dr. Quinn Medicine Stallion outfit, but the session is a lot less sexy.
Seeing the New Jersey "Housewives" playing nice feels like déjà vu all over again.
We have to be honest. We watch "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" for two reasons: the wild cat fights and the chance to peek into some seriously lux...
Teresa informs Kim D. that she's in a "good place" with Melissa, and that the night will go well. Hot damn, that girl has an incredible talent for foreshadowing in bad eyeshadow.
Jacqueline is obsessed with changing her body, but has no regard for her overall well-being. If anything needs to be cut out of poor Jacqueline, it's not excess skin: It's the darkness and pain that has taken over her mind and clouded her vision.
The speed at which these women are moving to fix things could break your neck ... or at least dislodge your extensions. Is any of this genuine, and how will they feel when their drunken promises fade into awkward hangovers?
The Joes came to blows on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." It all started when the Giudices, Gorgas, and Wakiles went to Lake George together for ...
Joe grabs Teresa's face and kisses it voraciously, like a starving man finally being handed a steak. Sobs rack his body and suddenly he's heaving, totally giving himself over to the emotion and crying into her face and clothes and hair like a small child.
Gorga throws all two feet of his body at Giudice, and they're officially in the shortest fight ever. Don't get me wrong, it lasts a pretty decent amount of time ... I just mean it's like watching champs at the International Stunted Growth Invitational flail their T-Rex arms about with gusto.
Kim D. and her posse of hags walk in and Rich motions for her to sit right down in the lion's den. "I heard about your little outing," Melissa tells her calmly. "[Jan] doesn't like you anymore, and I have not done anything wrong," Kim D. quickly says in defense of herself.
This week we open in Melissa's home, where she's at the computer pretending that she's not actually dictating the contents of her book to a ghost writer.
Though Teresa tries to put up a strong front, it's obvious that the year of silence has been painful. She finally confronts Joe ... by standing over him as he gets ready to bench press. Now, the brother she hasn't seen in oh-so-long is literally talking to her lady garden.
"There's no need to run home to my brother and make it bigger than it is," Teresa says in her interview. Note how she says "my brother" and not "her husband." Teresa still feels like she has ownership over Joe, and she views Melissa as her replacement and mortal enemy.
As Teresa speaks, Caroline dusts off her infamous head tilt, which is often followed by other signature gestures, such as "wild arms" and "terrifying low voice of death." As Teresa stumbles through her side of the story, Caroline rocks out all her moves.
"I'm willing to go talk to your sister," Caroline says selflessly. Then, Joe offers Caroline the same advise that I'd offer to you, my dear readers, as we embark on this Season 5 journey together: "Wear some armor and bring a hand gun."
Melissa Gorga may have sung "'cause I'm on display, display, display…" in her sort-of catchy single, but she's certainly not shying away from the pu...
For two seasons now, fans of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" (Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo) have watched the bad blood between series mainstay T...

An example of how a franchise works:
If you buy into a coffee franchise for instance, you take responsibility for the premises, the product & the profits. The franchise that you are working with will take a fee (usually a percentage of turnover) in exchange for support & information that helps you run your business. This could be advice on the layout of your coffee shop, discounted food to sell with your coffee or anything else to help give your new franchise all the help it needs to succeed. After the franchise fee, you keep all the profits that you generate. Learn more: What is a franchise?
