Everything You Need to Know (which is basically nothing) About This Weekend's NCAA Lacrosse Final Four at Lincoln Financial Field
The 2015 NCAA Final Four of Lacrosse takes place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia this weekend. The Evster is here to break it down into terms you can understand.
Nearly two years later, we're still having a debate over the Sixers tanking, even though the team appears to be better positioned than it was at the start.

It was better to expose such scoudrels and make every body aware so that people are cautious in dealing with such scruplous persons. It is ridiculous to conceal these names. You will serve better if media exposes such persons without any prjudice.5 Like
i have seen this and noticed this that kashmir dispatch never exposes name of anyone in any case. there can be 2 reasons either kashmir dispatch getting money from such people not to disclose their names or the news is fake.

just go to the news archive and check wheter my facts are correct or not.1 Like

The basic idea is that the valence V of an atom is the sum of the individual bond valences vi surrounding the atom:
The individual bond valences in turn are calculated from the observed bond lengths.
Also, : see
It is possible by bond valence calculations to estimate how great a contribution a given oxygen atom is making to the assumed valence of uranium. Zachariasen Lists the parameters to allow such calculations to be done for many of the actinides. Bond valence calculations use parameters which are estimated after examining a large number of crystal structures of uranium oxides (and related uranium compounds), note that the oxidation states which this method provides are only a guide which assists in the understanding of a crystal structure.
For uranium binding to oxygen the constants Ro and B are tabulated in the table below. For each oxidation state use the parameters from the table shown below.
|Oxidation state
In applying the bond valence sum on PMo12O40V2 of the symmetry P-1, The following table was obtained
> 6.491
However, according to bond valence method the Molybdenum on this molecule would have the valence 7, which is chemically impossible.
It is possible to do these calculations on paper or software. A program which does it can be obtained free of charge.
The infinite network of a crystal can be represented topologically by a finite network for computational purposes.

WMRQ is an alternative rock station based in Hartford, Connecticut. The city of license is Waterbury, Connecticut. WMRQ-FM broadcasts at 104.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 14 kW from West Peak in Meriden, Connecticut (on a tower with WKSS), its studios are located in Glastonbury, Connecticut, and the studio-transmitter link is located at 946.942 MHz. Station soundwork is highly promoting the iBiquity HD Radio channel WMRQ-HD1 on 104.1-1.
The station began broadcasting in 1967 as country formatted WWCO-FM, owned by Merv Griffin. In 1972, the station changed call letters to WIOF and rebranded as "Nashville, Connecticut, W-104". In 1978, the station dropped country to become Adult Contemporary formatted "Magic 104". During the switch to Magic 104, WIOF also upgraded its signal by moving its transmitter from near its studios in Prospect to West Peak in Meriden, CT. Lou Terri was the Program Director and midday host until his death in an automobile accident in 1989. Steve Wiersman later became Program Director until 1994. Morning announcers included Bill Cleveland, Greg O'Brien and Ray Petraca. Jack Carney, who was also the voice of WVIT Channel 30 at the time, hosted the afternoon show. Jim Scott did nights, Rick O'Connor did middays, later replaced by Ron O'Brien (a.k.a. Ron O). Weekend DJ's included Greg LaPorta between 1990 and 1992. In 1992, they rebranded as "Star 104.1", WYSR. Other DJ's on Star 104.1 were Brett Provo-Mornings later Afternoons (now Afternoon Drive / Production Director at WMAS Springfield, MA), Paul DeFrancisco-Afternoons, Jay Hanson-weekends (now WFMX Skowhegan, ME), Long John-Weekends (WEBE 108 Westport, CT alumni), Rich Kilbourne (a.k.a. Big Rich Baker-News, WKCI Hamden, CT alumni), Cathy Foxx-Middays, Neil Jackson-Mornings, Lee Gordon-Production Director, Race Bannon, who stayed on after October 31, 1994 for what became "Radio 104 Modern Rock". Bud Fisher became WMRQ's first sales manager. Bud had appeared on Magic 104 as "Gary Hunter". Ron O became WYSR PD after Steve Wiersman departed, until October 31, 1994, when the format changed to "Modern Rock" and all programming staff was released; Lee Gordon remained as Production Director. On October 31, 1994, the format flipped to modern rock/alternative outlet WMRQ "Radio 104". Personalities such as "Jake & Beth", Dee Snider and Bubba The Love Sponge were on the station in the mornings at various points during the station's history, with Wilcow, Chaz, The Carlito Show, and Logan following after the mornings. The station also hosted popular annual events such as "The Big Day Off" and "104fest." Due to struggling ratings, WMRQ was flipped to WPHH, Power 104.1, in September 2003.
As a station playing Hip Hop and R&B music, WPHH solidified its position as the only Mainstream Urban station in the Hartford/New Haven market; its main competitor was Urban-leaning Rhythmic CHR WZMX (93.7 FM). Nicole Siedman served as Program Director for a short period until 2004. Mychal Maguire assumed the Program Director position thereafter. Spank Buda served as Assistant Program Director and night host for the entire duration of WPHH. Popular events included the "Hoop It Up" basketball tournament and the "Legends of Hip Hop" concert. Other DJ's on Power 104.1 were Mia Mendez, DJ Showtime, TT Torrez, DJ Londonn, and PJ.
On October 25, 2007, 104.1 again changed music formats. They returned to the previous Modern Rock format. The station was programmed similar to WRFF in Philadelphia. [1]
On December 20, 2007 104.1 changed its calls to WURH. [2]
During May 2008, and almost six months after Clear Channel launched "FM 104-One" (WURH 104.1 Waterbury, CT), the station finally named a PD, Becky Pohotsky, who had been the station's APD/MD and de facto PD for most of its existence.
On August 4, 2008, Clear Channel placed the station's assets into an entity called the Aloha Station Trust in order to sell off the station. This was due to Clear Channel being above the ownership limits set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These limits were imposed when Clear Channel was officially taken private by Bain Capital Partners on July 30, 2008.
On Feb. 19, 2009, Ledyard, Conn.-based Red Wolf Broadcasting Corp. announced that it had agreed to buy WURH for 8 million dollars. Red Wolf's owner, John Fuller, said the station would join his other radio properties, including WBMW (106.5 FM) and WWRX (107.7 FM), both of which serve the New London, Conn., market. On May 14, 2009, local ownership Red Wolf Broadcasting took over control of the station. Their first action was to revert the station back to its WMRQ call letters, and modified name "Radio 104.1", which call was used by the station from 1995 to 2003, during its first run with Modern Rock.
Under the direction of Brian Ram, who serves as WMRQ's VP/Programming, the alternative rock lineup includes "Fisch in the Morning" (morning drive), Amy Grey (middays), Holden (afternoons), and Michael Maze (nights), plus weekend programs "Digital Takeover with DJ Darth Fader" and "HomeBrew Local Music Show".
In November 2009, a Spanish tropical format, "Bomba 97.5" ("The Bomb") was launched on WMRQ-HD2 through its Glastonbury, CT studio. The format is simulcast on 60-watt Bolton, CT translator W248AB on 97.5. More recently, Red Wolf switched Bomba 97.5 (W248AB) to Bomba 97.1 (W246CC) to provide more coverage and more power. Bomba 97.1 FM is now 100 watts, reaching as far as Springfield, MA.

3 Pack retail 2012 Heritage... Bonus cards.
I bought a 3 pack of 2012 Heritage at target the other day... They come with a 3 card pack of black bordered cards. The first one I bought, I got a kinsler, Votto, and n. morgan... Came back home and saw that they booked for $10, $8, and $3 respectively? The packs were duds.
In any case, I was there again today, and picked up another one. Two duds, and then an Adron Chambers, Bellantances HP96 "Black Border"... Only problem is that it looks exactly like the base... For some reason, no black border... The ONLY difference is the HP in front of the 96... In any case, it books for $10, but I was pretty disappointed with the no black border part.

wow..we had radiators in our ooold school when i was a kid. the building was built in the 30's at least, and had no insulation. The walls were concrete and it was freeeezing .
our radiators clanked and pinged all day
and WHERE are the panty pics??? Hmmmmm??
Hey Bama! Just checked my mail. Hubby is leaving for work a little "blue" thanks to you.
They are GORGEOUS and super comfortable!
(dh likes them. A lot.
|Show pics!!
Did you like both?? The funny ones cracked me up, and the sexy ones I bought at the last minute. I couldnt decide on what to get you....They both looked like you
i'm glad the undies are a hit. istra and i spent around 45 mins deliberating, her saying 'bum bum bum bum' the whole time, pointing at the manequins. it was fun.
do you guys -- ie. americans -- have la senza stores? i think they're more or less like victoria's secret, minus the nip issues, as far as i know.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Cosmic forces, being primarily spiritual in nature, rarely coalesce in such a way as to actually encourage you to shop till you drop. However, this is one of those inside-out moments in eternity when tapping in to your buyological urges can become an acute meditation on the meaning of your life. Here are a few questions to guide your quest. How do your possessions control you? How do they inspire you? Do the objects you seek to own usually encourage you to be more adventurous in seeking fresh experiences, or do they tend to serve as substitutes for seeking fresh experiences? How does the way you spend money reflect your ideas about what life owes you and what you owe life?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A Capricorn reader recently accused me of being too upbeat and utopian. He said that your tribe needs "more gristle and bone and sinew." He suggested that I travel to the Sudan or Iraq, and expose my tender perspective to scenes of blood and fire. In lieu of carrying out that proposal (which was impossible given my limited funds and time), I instead watched three war movies before composing your horoscope. Here it is: I dare you to give your highest hopes and most idealistic dreams a trial by fire that raises those hopes and dreams to a higher octave.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): No other place in America has a worse reputation than the state of New Jersey. It's called "the armpit of the nation" by some people, and is said to lead the world in strip malls per capita and terrible pollution smells. But my experience of the place has been different. I once lived in New Jersey for six years. It was a happy time. There were mountains in the north, beaches in the east, the mysterious Pine Barrens in the middle, and people I loved and enjoyed everywhere. Your challenge in the coming week is similar to mine, Aquarius: Find beauty and meaning while dwelling amidst circumstances that conventional wisdom and peer pressure might brand as boring or repellant.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your world is teeming with talented people who are seething with frustrated intelligence. Everyone's antsy for a rescue they can't even imagine, let alone articulate. All of the half-baked solutions that are being proposed would lead only to more frustrated intelligence. That's where you come in, Pisces. You have the potential, though you may not have been fully aware of it until now, to be an understated leader who leads your tribe out of the foggy morass. Especially if you increase your self-discipline, you can conjure up the magic that will catalyze an upgrade for everyone involved.

I vaguely recall a rule of thumb from my Marketing 101 class that said never refer to your best customers in terms associated with a herd of bovid -- in other words, don't call them "cattle."
One would think this would be a mantra for airlines; but strangely enough, in their zeal to squeeze out every last cent from their best customers -- business travelers -- they are referring to these folks as herd animals. Maybe they don't use the precise term "cattle," but when they talk about road warriors, believe me, they're envisioning the stockyards.
Case in point: Airline executives have been crowing to financial analysts lately about yielding more revenue by erecting fences around business travelers so they can't stampede and escape to purchase cheaper seats intended for leisure travelers who typically pay three to four times less. What's this all about?
For more travel news and insights, visit Rick's blog at: http://rickseaney.com
Well, first of all, simple economics has already been thinning the herd of air travelers this year. A toxic combination of energy prices, a weak dollar and a faltering economy has forced airlines to dramatically cut back seats in order to keep planes packed with higher paying passengers.
Airlines, in their quest for more revenue to offset fuel costs, have recently begun to rope in a few savvy business travelers who have been shopping early and scoring cheaper seats. Enter the fences.
I guess we really ought to call them barbed-wire fences. You see, the fence is one of the 20-plus rule restrictions of a roundtrip fare -- in this case, the minimum-stay rule -- that requires passengers to stay a certain number of days at their destination, or overnight on a particular day (typically a Saturday) to get the cheapest fare. This works to the airlines' advantage because they know the typical business traveler doesn't want to stay multiple nights or give up his or her weekends at home. So these business travelers -- or their companies -- pay more to skip the minimum stay requirement.
But as we know, those days are gone -- at least at the moment. To confirm some recent airline statements, I decided to do a minimum stay study on our airfare database at For more travel news and insights visit Rick's blog at: FareCompare.com (one of the largest in the world); here's what I found:
A look at flights between 40 top domestic cities shows that about half of all cheaper roundtrip airfares filed by the six legacy airlines (American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, United and US Airways) had a minimum stay fence. Some of those airfares required a one night stay (day hop fence), but the bulk of them required a two or more night stay.
And I also found that the Saturday night stay requirement was also very common on popular international business routes; for example, a weekday business trip (Monday to Friday) on American Airlines from Dallas to London during September is averaging about $2,600 roundtrip -- but if you stay over on a Saturday night, the price drops to $1,100 roundtrip.

The students invited to participate in the S.P.A.R.C. Summer Bridge Program have been admitted to the University for the upcoming fall semester, and would benefit from academic strengthening in the areas of English, Math, or Computer Literacy. Success in learning the content of these courses is a prerequisite for success in core courses at the University level.
The S.P.A.R.C. students will bridge the gap between high school and college through academic coursework and the opportunity to build relationships and network with students, faculty and staff. All students will take two of the four courses available from the following list of courses:
- Introduction to Communications
- ENG 101- Communication Skills
- MTH 101- Elementary Algebra
- CSC 150- Computer Literacy
Participants may earn academic credit toward graduation. In addition, all program participants are required to attend academic skills seminars and study sessions. The S.P.A.R.C. program advisers will monitor the academic progress of summer bridge students until university and department requirements are satisfied for graduation.

It's as good an option as the Rockets had. They acquired Thabeet — 7'3" former No. 2 overall pick out of Connecticut — in the Shane Battier trade but they were not playing him. He's been on the court a total of 4 minutes since the trade.
But he was only going to get better with more burn, so he was send to the Rio Grand Valley Vipers. The Rockets have only one game in the next six days so he could stay there and gain some experience without missing lot of time with the big club. Not that it matters because he's not playing anyway.
Thabeet made news when he was the highest draft pick ever sent to the D-League by the Memphis Grizzlies last season.
Unless the ghost of Pete Newell starts talking to Thabeet in a very Obi Wan Kenobi way I'm not sure a trip to the D-League is going to make a difference.

The 2009 NBA draft has proven to be one of the weakest in decades, with 9 guards selected out of the next 10 first round picks after this stiff was taken 2nd overall by Memphis (but thusfar not a single All Star in the bunch).
The old adage is that you "can't teach 7'3″", but that doesn't mean you take a big vegetable that can't play a lick either with the 2nd overall pick in the entire draft. The only thing surprising about Thabeet's ineptness is that the Clippers (who took Blake Griffin first overall), weren't the ones for once pulling such a boner.
The D-league though is an excellent and badly needed alternative. While it's true that it's mostly dominated by at best end of the bench prospects/suspects, it at least allowed Chicago this year to showcase former first round pick bust James Johnson (who went 15th overall in the same draft as Thabeet), in order to find a taker in Toronto and unload him for a 1st round pick (albeit a very low one, receiving next years Heat #1 pick in return).

He came into the league as a project. He should have been treated as such from day one. That is what the DLeague is there for, right?
The dude may or may not be NBA-quality, but I'm thinking his development was botched by Memphis.
- memphismiracle - Mar 22, 2011 at 10:21 AM
It wasn't the development that Memphis botched. It was the PICK that was botched. They picked a guy who DOESN'T LIKE BASKETBALL. He has no desire to get better at basketball. He is a really nice guy who is just along for the ride.

Let's face it!!!
He's worse than Kwame Brown because Brown at least had a scoring average in double figures during the 2004 season!!!

When Jim Calhoun called him the most dominant force in college basketball I almost lost it. Major bust. He's out of the league next year.

The Environmental Defense Fund website has some myth-busting facts about idling. Did you know idling for ten seconds burns more gas than restarting your car? Or that diesel engines produce more than 40 hazardous air pollutants? And that sitting in a cloud of your own exhaust with the heater on is really lousy for your health?
I've noticed a string of egregious idlers lately. The first was a young woman tapping away at her iPhone in a posh SUV in a shopping center parking lot. Temperatures were mild, so it's not like she was braving the elements or anything; it was just internal combustion for internal combustion's sake, I guess. The following day, I witnessed a pickup truck belching putrid exhaust for at least 20 minutes outside a convenience store. In this case, it was cold out, and a woman was waiting in the truck for her companion in the store, but seriously. Go inside and warm yourself by the spinning hot dogs or something! Then, while staying at a motel out of town, I observed a tractor trailer idling in an empty lot from dusk until the next morning. It was cold and snowy, and my guess was that the truck driver opted to sleep in the truck with the heat on -- spent fuel be damned! -- instead of paying for a motel room. Which is frankly pretty sad, but also alarming if you're not a fan of global warming or particulate matter in the air you breathe.

A strong line of severe storms, tornadoes and heavy rains are continuing to affect much of the U.S., from Illinois to Arkansas. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and communities struck by the deadly tornadoes, severe storms and flooding that swept through areas of the Midwest last night including Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee and face more severe storms forecasted for this week.
Through our regional offices in Kansas City, Mo., Chicago, Ill. and Denton, Texas we have been in constant contact and coordination with the state's emergency management teams in Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee to ensure they have the support they need.
There are currently no requests for federal assistance as a result of the yesterday's storms, but FEMA will continue to stay in constant communication with the states and stands ready to support, if needed. (Federal disaster assistance is available to residents of Atoka County in Oklahoma, and 18 counties in North Carolina resulting from damage of tornadoes and severe storms earlier this month.)
If you are in the storm's path and may be affected, it's important to follow the instructions of state and local officials, and listen to NOAA Weather Radio, local radio or TV stations for updated emergency information. If authorities order an evacuation, leave immediately, follow evacuation routes announced by local officials, and stay away from river banks and streams.
Here are some other tips on staying safe during a flood, tornado, or thunderstorm. You can find more safety and preparedness tips on Ready.gov or on our mobile site (m.fema.gov).
- Driving through a flooded area can be extremely hazardous. Almost half of all flash flood deaths happen in vehicles. When in your car, look out for flooding in low lying areas, at bridges, and at highway dips. As little as six inches of water may cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Remember – turn around, don't drown.
- Familiarize yourself with flood alerts:
- Flood Watch: Flooding is possible. Tune in to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information
- Flash Flood Watch: Flash flooding is possible. Be prepared to move to higher ground; listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
- Flood Warning: Flooding is occurring or will occur soon; if advised to evacuate, do so immediately.
- Flash Flood Warning: A flash flood is occurring; seek higher ground on foot immediately.
- If a tornado is possible in your area, go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls. Do not open windows.
- Familiarize yourself with tornado terminology:
- Tornado Watch: Tornadoes are possible. Remain alert for approaching storms. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
- Tornado Warning: A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Take shelter immediately.
- Thunderstorms can bring heavy rains, winds, and lightning. If you hear thunder, seek shelter indoors. Stay away from doors and windows, and move to an interior room or basement.
- Become familiar with thunderstorm terminology:
- Severe Thunderstorm Watch: Tells you when and where severe thunderstorms are likely to occur. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
- Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Issued when severe weather has been reported by spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate imminent danger to life and property to those in the path of the storm.

Marlins players skip team's annual Fish 'N Chips charity eventMark Townsend at Big League Stew 1 hr ago
Just when you thought things couldn't get any messier for the Miami Marlins this season and especially this week, Thursday night happened.
On the heels of a seven-game losing streak, which has now spanned two managers and all occurred at Marlins Park, the team held its annual Fish 'N Chips charity event at the ballpark on Thursday. The event has always been an opportunity for fans to mingle and play cards with Marlins players and other personnel while the organization helps raise money.
This year's was to be no different. In fact, here's the invitation which confirms the scheduled appearance of players:
Please join the Marlins Foundation for an evening of fun and stakes at the Craps, Blackjacks, Roulette, Poker and Domino tables as you rub elbows with your favorite Marlins players, coaches and alumni. Enjoy a night filled with hors d'oeuvres, open bars, dancing and entertainment, with the breathtaking view of downtown Miami.

A group of 24 Nebraska baseball players got stuck in an elevator
On Tuesday, one day before challenging the hottest baseball team on planet Earth, the University of Illinois Fighting Illini in the first round of the Big Ten conference tournament, members of the Nebraska baseball team — 24 of them to be exact — unwisely tested the capacity of a hotel elevator in Minneapolis.
That decision resulted in the ultimate test of their collective sanity as the elevator became stuck mid-ride, trapping all 24 players in the cramped quarters for what had to feel like an eternity.
Ever wonder what it's like to be stuck with a baseball team on an elevator? pic.twitter.com/xPM5Wmgp2W
Yeah, if that was on the bucket list, the sanity test may have been failed before it was started.
Based on the timeline of the tweets, the ordeal only lasted right around 15 minutes. Senior catcher Tanner Lubach served as the embedded reporter, sending a series of video tweets which updated the social media of their condition.

Joe Mauer's first homer of 2015 leads Twins to sweep in Pittsburgh
Take a look around the league with Big League Stew's daily wrap up. We'll hit on all of the biggest moments from the day that you may have missed, while providing highlights, photos and interesting stats.
Joe Mauer's long-running power drought is over, and he could not have possibly picked a better time to snap it. With the Twins and Pirates tied in the 13th inning at PNC Park, Mauer smacked Antonio Bastardo's 0-1 pitch into the right field bleachers for a go-ahead solo home run that held up as the difference in Minnesota's 4-3 victory.
The home run was Mauer's first of the season. In fact, it was his first since Aug. 17 of last year, which covers a span of 76 games and 322 plate appearances. But you'd hardly know that based on the swing or the result. Looking comfortable against a left-handed pitcher, Mauer turned on the pitch like we've seen so many times in the past and gave it a ride.
Vintage Mauer, you might say, and as a result the Twins are now a comfortable six games over .500.

Bartolo Colon legs out infield dribbler thanks to rare Yadier Molina error
For all the talk about a universal designated hitter, perhaps the greatest argument against its seemingly inevitable implementation into MLB revolves around the existence of New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon.
As we've noted in the past, Colon's plate appearances aren't just the throw away moments you may come to expect with pitchers, they are events that unite baseball fans from all points of the world, regardless of where their loyalties lie.
There's always an element of drama in Colon's at-bats, from whether he'll actually make contact, to whether his helmet will stay on or fall off, to the ultimate hope, that he'll put a ball in play and have to run the bases. On Wednesday, we actually got the latter when Colon hit the weakest of all possible dribblers in front on home plate, and somehow managed to leg it out.
[Check out Big League Stew on Tumblr for even more baseball awesomeness.]
When all was said and done, it was a short night for Colon, but one with a little bit of everything, which is why we want him to stick around forever.

Bryce Harper ejected for second time in eight days
Since launching three home runs against the New York Mets on May 6, Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has been baseball's hottest hitter. Over a 12-game stretch that began that afternoon leading up until Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees, Harper hit .535/.630/1.349 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs over 54 plate appearances.
Unfortunately, his sizzling stretch at the dish isn't the only thing that's taken center stage. During his time in the spotlight, which goes back to his days in high school in Las Vegas, Harper's also earned a reputation at times for being a hot head, which has now in some way contributed to two ejections during that same stretch.
The first came on May 13, when Harper's temper clearly got the best of him following a strikeout in Arizona. Following the ejection, Harper launched into a heated tirade against home-plate umpire Rob Drake.

Josh Hamilton launches first rehab home run into a poolMark Townsend at Big League Stew 2 days ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
Over the past two weeks, Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton has been slowly working himself into baseball shape with a sharp eye toward his return to MLB during his extended minor-league rehab assignment. On Wednesday, he took a fairly significant step forward by launching his first home run of 2015 for Double-A Frisco.
Here's another look at the home run from the press box. It actually landed in a pool beyond the outfield wall at Frisco's home ballpark.
Two-run homer for Josh Hamilton. Landed in the pool pic.twitter.com/EcSSd0TZJd
Hamilton's splash landing will cap a four-game stint with Frisco that saw him go 9-for-16 with nine runs scored and four driven in. Overall, Hamilton is hitting .371 during his 10-game rehab stint, which the Rangers say will return to Triple-A Round Rock this weekend.
Rangers announce Josh Hamilton will play at Round Rock THursday through Saturday and then be re-evaluated....

Rockies batters struck out four times in one inning in two straight games
Your browser does not support iframes.
If we could sum up the Colorado Rockies recent struggles in one sequence, it would have been the eighth inning on Friday when Dodgers reliever Kenley Jansen returned from the disabled list to strike out four of them in a single inning.
On 14 pitches no less.
But here's something cool about the Rockies. They're very accommodating. So assuming you missed the season-defining sequence on Friday, they went ahead and replayed it for you on Saturday by striking out four times in the eighth inning again, this time against Sergio Santos.
Swell guys, aren't they?
Of course, it should be noted that on Saturday they actually took advantage of the extra out and plated three runs thanks to a separate Dodgers error and a Nolan Arenado two-run homer. But we will overlook that success to identify the true meaning of that inning.
On rare occasions, the batter actually reaches base safely. On even fewer occasions, the unique opportunity for four strikeouts arises. In this series, it just so happened to present itself twice, and on both occasions it actually happened.
Which do you think is more likely?

Marlins fire manager Mike Redmond minutes after nearly being no-hit
Just moments after the Miami Marlins were nearly no-hit by Atlanta Braves right-hander Shelby Miller, the team announced that manager Mike Redmond and bench coach Rob Leary had been relieved of their duties effective immediately.
The #Marlins have dismissed Mike Redmond and bench coach Rob Leary
Yeah, we'd say it was a wild afternoon in Miami.
The firing was not a direct result of Sunday's dismal offensive performance, but the entire series against the division rival Atlanta Braves could probably be viewed as the final straw. After appearing to show signs of life early in May, the Marlins have now lost six of seven games , including a three-game sweep by the Braves. Overall, they're 16-22 on the season.

Justin Bour breaks up Shelby Miller's no-hit bid with two outs in ninth
Your browser does not support iframes.
Atlanta Braves right-hander Shelby Miller entered play on Sunday with baseball's second lowest ERA (1.60) among qualified starters. That number is going to drop even further after he flirted with history, carrying a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Miami Marlins.
Miller was one out from completing the pitching performance of his life when pinch-hitter Justin Bour ripped the first pitch he saw up the middle for a clean single. Had Miller been able to retire Bour, it would have been the first no-hitter of his professional career and the first in MLB this season. He ended up settling for a two-hit shutout after Dee Gordon immediately followed with an infield single. The Braves won the game 6-0.
Prior to the ninth, Miller allowed just one baserunner, a walk to Marcell Ozuna leading off the second inning. He needed only 94 pitches, which around the baseball world is recognized as a Greg Maddux special. The Hall of Fame pitcher threw a remarkable 14 career shutouts on less than 100 pitches.
We saw a grander glimpse of that extraordinary upside on Sunday.
History wasn't meant to be made Sunday afternoon in Miami.
College teams play rock-paper-scissors during rain delay, inspire MLB teams
When attending a college baseball game, it's always best to hope for a rain delay.
That's no slight on the players, of course. In fact, it's quite the opposite, because it seems like college players are always up for some rain delay shenanigans.
In past instances, we've seen teams literally jousting on field. In others, we've seen them reenact historic wars. And now, apparently, we've progressed to a different kind of on-field battle: rock, paper, scissors.
At least that was the scene that played out as the rain fell during Friday's scheduled game between the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and UL-Monroe, which was eventually postponed. The two sides gathered at home plate in a scene that were you not aware of the circumstances, would have led you to believe a brawl was brewing.
[Check out Big League Stew on Tumblr for even more baseball awesomeness.]
Quite the contrary.
To the video tape we go.
It proved to be a decisive victory for UL-Lafayette, which set off a celebration akin to that of winning a regional final.
We are in a lightning delay again.

Product description
In this profound and playful book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb presents his ideas about life in the form of aphorisms, the world's earliest - and most memorable - literary form. Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed, which they had to fit to perfection. They never did. Those who were too tall had their legs chopped off; those who were too short were stretched. Every aphorism here is about a Procrustean bed of sorts - we humans, facing the limits of our knowledge, the unseen and the unknown, resolve the tension by squeezing life and the world into crisp commoditized ideas, reductive categories, specific vocabularies and pre-packaged narratives. Only by embracing the unexpected - and accepting what we don't know - can we see the world as it really is.

Financial bailout deal, so close, comes apart
Candidates' place is not in Washington, D.C., but in Mississippi at the presidential debate
If John McCain really wants to help the nation arrive at an answer to the national economic crisis, he should leave Washington and go to Mississippi where he is scheduled to debate his Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama tonight.
His presence in Washington on Thursday didn't help President Bush get a deal from Congress on a Wall Street bailout and he may have even contributed to its unraveling.
At one point on Thursday, Democratic and Republican negotiators seemed to have hammered out a deal that gave the Treasury secretary and the president what they wanted— a $700 billion lifeline to Wall Street — and what Democrats and skeptical Republicans had demanded — curbs on executive pay, protections for taxpayers' money and oversight on how the money is spent. By late evening, the wheels had come off.
What McCain called an act of statesmanship, suspending his campaign to work toward a bailout agreement, in fact seemed to have an opposite effect. McCain, instead of offering leadership on a tough economic issue, declined to offer his support for the agreement at a crucial White House meeting, pulling the rug out from the Republican president. He aligned himself with Republican conservatives who have balked at the $700 billion bailout.
Given the crucial moment for the economy, more than ever, the nation needs to hear the two candidates debate their policy differences. The debate, set for the University of Mississippi, should focus on domestic economic policy, not foreign policy as originally agreed on.
McCain's announcement of the suspension was always suspect. Given that the Arizona senator is now trailing in the polls and that both he and Obama have been absent from Washington for extended periods due to the campaigns, the explanation that his presence in Washington was crucial to a deal doesn't quite wash. As it turned out, key Democratic and Republican congressional negotiators announced they had come to broad terms of agreement before the White House meeting where McCain and Obama had been invited in a historic meeting.
Thursday's chaotic series of events followed a Wednesday night prime time address by Bush in which he painted a dire prediction of what would follow if a $700 billion bailout was not agreed to: mass unemployment, lost pensions and economic chaos even beyond what the financial markets have experienced so far. This was the argument that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has been making to Congress all this week. The problem for the president is that his standing with the public is badly damaged and he is seeking help for Wall Street financiers whose standing is probably no higher than his own. That is undoubtedly why Bush called the historic meeting at the White House with McCain and Obama, lending some bipartisanship to the search for a solution. But it was not to be.
Bailing out Wall Street is a tough and very expensive pill to swallow, but the alternative, massive economic disruption, is worse. Bush himself noted that his gut instinct is to keep government out of business, but the national economic crisis was too big but to seek a bailout for Wall Street firms. Congress must stay focused on the big picture and having the presidential candidates underfoot only makes the job harder and more contentious.
McCain and Obama have a job to do and that's going to Mississippi. The meltdown on Wall Street and the federal bailout will have implications on the national treasury and American economy into the term of the next president. Americans need to hear from both candidates not only on how they would deal with those implications but also their views on how their administrations would deal with the loopholes and abuses that made the financial debacle possible.

Apr 5 2010
Shane Warne produced a virtuoso bowling performance to lead his side to a nail-biting two run win over reigning IPL champions Deccan Chargers in Nagpur. Warne returned his best T20 figures (4-21) and Siddharth Trivedi took two wickets in a dramatic final over as the Royals successfully defended their score of 159.
Shane Watson top scored with a typically muscular 58 but received precious little support from his team mates with only Faiz Fazal making any impression with 36. For Deccan, Rohit Sharma's valiant 73 was not enough as Rajasthan prevailed amidst unbearable tension. The result maintains Warne's side's record of never having lost an IPL match when scoring 150 or more in the first innings.
Michael Lumb and Naman Ojha got the innings off to a reasonable start, reaching 16 without loss after two overs. But the third over was a poor one for the Royals as RP Singh dismissed both openers to leave the visitors 22 for 2.
Watson joined Fazal at the crease and picked up from where he left off against Chennai by smearing his third ball over the ropes. The Queenslander was then dropped by his Aussie team mate Ryan Harris at deep midwicket; at the culmination of the powerplay Rajasthan found themselves 48 for 2.
The Royals' duo ran well between the wickets, a great relief for Warne as Rajasthan had suffered more run outs than any other team in IPL. At the halfway stage Rajasthan had consolidated on 82 for 2. The 11th over was an eventful one as Fazal struck Pragyan Ojha for two fours but then holed out for a well made 36.
This led to a potentially mouth watering partnership between Watson and Yusuf Pathan. Unfortunately for Rajasthan, and all neutrals, Pathan's weakness against the short ball was exposed by Harris as he was caught at point for five. This left the Royals 107 for 4 after 13 overs.
Watson smashed Ojha down the ground and went through to his second consecutive 50 in IPL 3, this one off just 29 balls.
Watson top scored in just his second IPL match this season
Deccan went into the final five overs aware that they had been the most profligate team in this year's competition, going at over 12.4 runs per over in this period. They started it well when Harmeet Singh dismissed Abhishek Jhunjhunwala and Abhishek Raut for 11 and 0 respectively, the score now 130 for 6.
Rajasthan's hopes rested on Watson but he fell in the next over to RP Singh for 58 and Deccan were righting their previous wrongs in the final overs. Warne was then run out for 1 as his team subsided to 159 all out with one delivery remaining leaving Deccan firm favourites to claim victory at the break.
Pathan bowled a frugal first over which yielded just two, but his good work was undone by Watson who conceded four wides, two fours and a six from his first to leave Deccan 22 without loss.
Debutant Aditya Dole dismissed VVS Laxman for six but Adam Gilchrist then got stuck into him, smashing two monstrous sixes in a row to lead his side to 47 for 1. Dole gained his revenge when a short ball did for the Australian and Rajasthan were back in the game.
Morne Morkel bowled the last over of the powerplay and although it went for just four, Deccan had charged to 50 quicker than any other team against Rajasthan this season.
Rohit Sharma and Andrew Symonds both found the boundary to guide the hosts 86 for 2 after 10 overs and on course for a regulation win. Trivedi then breathed new life into the contest by removing Symonds for 15 but Sharma remained unfazed and raised the 100 with a maximum off Warne.
Anirudh Singh joined forces with Sharma and the duo quickly put on 26 until Singh was undone by a Warne slider and with six overs remaining the Chargers were 113 for 4 with Sharma playing beautifully on 40.
The close contest was bringing out the best in Warne and when he dismissed Dwayne Smith for four the game was turning back towards the Royals with Deccan needing 38 off the last four overs. Sharma wrested some of the momentum back with three fours in a row off Watson and in the process went to 50 and 1,000 runs in IPL - only the fourth batsman to do so.
Warne rolled back the years to dismiss Azhar Bilakhia and Harris with deliciously flighted deliveries leaving Deccan on 141 for 7 with two overs left.
The prodigious Sharma accepted the responsibility and trashed Morkel down the ground for six to leave Deccan needing just six from the final over. The tension was palpable with Trivedi entrusted with the final six balls; he claimed the wicket of RP Singh with the third ball which left four needed from three.
Harmeet was then run out and Sharma perished going for the decisive boundary as the double Rs sealed an incredible two run win.
Next game: 7th April 11.30 BST Rajasthan Royals v Kings XI Punjab at Jaipur
Elsewhere in the IPL Kevin Pietersen was powerless to prevent the Royal Challengers Bangalore from succumbing to a 37 run defeat to the Delhi Daredevils.
Instead it was KP's England colleague Paul Collingwood who grabbed the headlines with brutal 75 off 46 deliveries which included no less than seven maximums. This boosted in form Delhi to an imposing 184 for 5 from their 20 overs.
Bangalore never looked like challenging that total as they subsided to 147 for 9 with Pietersen making 16 before being yorked by Pradeep Sangwan.

We were thrilled when we stumbled across this 50 plus acre property on our regular Hocking Hills travels to the State Parks. My husband and I, our two sons live and work in the city of Columbus, just one hour away.
We have enjoyed many trips to the Hocking Hills over the years, and wanted a place to gather with friends and family not too far of a drive! Mission accomplished when we found the Beagle Hill Lodge (farmhouse). It is so close to all the region has to offer. A short car ride to Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, The Rock House, Ash Cave, hiking trails, ATV trails, fishing, kayaking, spa services, zip lining, our favorite local restaurant The Inn at Cedar Falls, we knew we had to jump on this property or it would be gone! The lay out of the land is so peaceful and relaxing. My favorite pass time is watching the wild turkeys and plentiful deer stroll by while I am sitting on the front porch swing. We stay at Beagle Hill several times each year, and rent it to tourists when we aren't able to go ourselves. We hope others enjoy it as much as we do! We have met so many nice people along the way, regulars that stay at our home every year. The Hocking Hills is my very favorite destination in Ohio, and I consider myself lucky I was in the right place at the right time when the property became available for purchase.
Darla Minamyer purchased this farmhouse in 2009
Great Location less than 2 miles from Old Man's Cave State Park, close to zip lining, ATV tours and so many other attractions! Beautiful, beautiful land! Beagle Hill Lodge sits on 50 scenic and private wooded acres. It is right on the main route into Hocking Hills for convenience yet so private and hill top views are great to observe from the upper deck of the house. Deer and wild turkey roam the land regularly.
Hot tub, sand volleyball court, fire pit, the pavilion for family cookouts and relaxing hammocks, nature hikes on the property! Close by is more trail hiking, ATV riding, in home massages and traveling chef for special occasions, zip lining, canoeing, antique and unique gift shopping, photography workshops, cave and waterfall exploration day trips, family picnics at the caves!
Six adults, three kids and two Labrador retrievers stayed here to ring in the New Year! Ended '13 and started '14 with lots of lovely snow. We walked all around the property woods, fields, and up and down your really long and scenic private lane. Also explored Old Man's cave on a warmer afternoon when giant icicles were falling from the cliffs and splashing into the river- OUTSTANDING!!!
New Year's Day was warm and sunny, so the fire pit got much use as we watched the sun set. Saw cardinals, blue jays, hawks, vultures, nuthatchers and heard woodpeckers!
Many thanks for the well-appointed kitchen, the hot tub, and so many towels!

This was an awesome place for our family to be all together for an OU graduation! Very nice, clean, lots of space! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend! The house is very well maintained. We felt at home & would do this again!
Thank you to Darla for sharing your home and helping to make a weekend family getaway the ideal winter hideaway. Plenty of bedrooms and space for our little ones to play and perfectly situated near the regional hiking attractions.
A truly wonderful experience!! This was our first visit, but definitely not our last. My family has already begun planning for next Christmas!!
As a Christmas gift to each another, our family of 15 (mom, dad, children/spouses, and grandkids) rented Beagle Hill for a weekend to escape the hustle and bustle and spend more quality time together around the holiday. Beagle Hill was perfect!! The home is beautiful and incredibly spacious! Even with 15 of us, we never felt cramped.
The home's amenities were great! The patios and porches, the fireplace, hot tub, additional entertaining area in the basement, huge dining table, and tons of cookware are just a few of the things that make Beagle Hill really lovely. The home is very clean and decorated beautifully with quality furniture, linens, and dishes/serving platters. The owners even put out Christmas decorations for our stay! It was such a special touch.
The location of Beagle Hill is also awesome!! The home is totally tucked away in the woods, but only a short drive to Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Rock House, etc. Ten of us spent a beautiful afternoon together hiking. Plus it is only 10-15 minutes to Shopping if you forget something.
Lastly, the owners were great to work with. Darla was always quick to respond to our questions and sent us tons of information about the house and the location in advance. We were initially nervous about booking a vacation home online, but I must admit our first experience with VRBO was seamless!
Thank you so much for a wonderful memory and the start of a new tradition. Beagle Hill was everything we were hoping for and more!!
The Lodge was clean and very comfortable. The Christmas decorations make it very cozy and warm. We enjoyed the fireplace and the DVD collection. It was close to stores and adventures like Old Mans Cave & Ash Cave. The dog loved roaming the yard.The hot tub was great even in December. It would be a great place for a family reunion. We'd love to return for another stay.
This was our very first trip to Hocking Hills in the Fall season. Beagle Hill was just fantastic, both inside and out. The interior of the home was nicely decorated with autumn décor, and the fall foliage views from the deck are spectacular. We even spotted some deer and wild turkeys roaming through the yard. Lots of beautiful breeds of birds were seen everywhere. What a lovely nature packed setting. We will be back for sure!
~The Richardson Family
We had the good fortune to rent Beagle Hill for my husband's 60th birthday/family reunion. We enjoyed being able to cook our meals in the well-equipped kitchen, particularly appreciating the double oven when preparing a large amount of food. There were plenty of comfortable beds for our group and it was convenient to have four bathrooms. There is room to spread out in the house so we never felt crowded. The grounds are lovely and on Saturday, when it was chilly, a fire in the fire pit warmed us all. Having a fire in the indoor fireplace was also a nice touch. Being so close to the park was also convenient for hiking. It is a great location for exploring the area. I spoke with the owner Darla and found her to be very helpful and accommodating to our needs. We would definitely rent this property again!
In home travelling spa services are very reasonably priced in Hocking Hills. Regional visitor guide and area brochures left on welcome table for guests. This helps guests to gain recreational, dining and other area attractions options to pick from while lodging with us.

Why would a great work go unproduced? The answer is multifaceted, but much conversation swirls around non-profit business models, the economic climate, and changes in funding bases. Simply put, many theaters particularly those invested in new and challenging workdon't proffer as many plays as they used to. In its first five years, the Manhattan Theatre Club averaged over 29 plays per year, including a six-week flurry in 1973 in which 23 plays opened, among them Terrence McNally's Bad Habits and Sam Shepard's Chicago and Unseen Hand. MTC's current season consists of just eight plays. Playwrights Horizons used to boast similarly awesome totals. The 1973-74 season, which consisted of 31 plays, included works by Larry Kramer, Albert Innaurato, Len Jenkin, and Jane Chambers. Six plays compose the 2002-03 roster.
Tim Sanford sighs, "This is a tough climate economically. Suddenly every theater is scrambling for money. If I had more slots, I'd have plenty to put in them." Sanford can tick off a couple of dozen plays he's read in the past two years but has been unable to stage. The list careens from Connie Congdon's apocalyptic So Far ("really brilliant and strange with an invented language") to Barbara Cassidy's hushed Interim (about middle-aged women having visions) to Naomi Wallace's The Inland Sea (concerning landscaping and 18th- century social uprising) to Keith Glover's Dark Paradise ("a goth vampire cowboy thriller").
Playwright Jeff Jones, who struggles to get his own experimental plays staged while championing other writers at his occasional Little Theater at Tonic, argues that lack of funds not only limits the number of plays staged, but also the types of plays. He laments that so many theaters "are tied to subscribers. It reinforces a collective timidity. Theaters want to keep the subscription base, the subscription base wants to see plays within a certain boundary." Among works perhaps seen as too challenging for audiences, Jones mentions Kelly Stuart's Mayhem ("a thinly disguised slice of her own life and intensely relevant") and her Homewrecker (George Bush onstage in a collage of his own words); Joseph Goodrich's Polar ("an existential noir with literary discursions, on Proust!"); as well as the vicious oeuvre of Brit Sarah Kane. Melanie Joseph, artistic director of the Foundry Theatre, also worries that "as money is dwindling, increasingly, I wonder if companies aren't going to play it more safe." Plays that may have fallen victim to this trend, she suggests, include W. David Hancock's work and David Greenspan's The Myopia"a tragic burlesque of epic proportions in which David performs all the roles and never leaves his chair." Some of those roles include 22 Republican senators about to nominate Warren G. Harding for president.
Even Sanford, though he strives for varied seasons, admits, "I've found from experience that my tastes are often broader than those of audiences and critics. I have a great affection for a lot of downtown theater, but I do run an uptown theater." Mac Wellman, a much lauded playwright and a professor of playwriting at Brooklyn College, argues that the thrall to audience expectations results in a climate of "sentimental melodrama. It dabbles in all sorts of euphemistic political stances, but it doesn't challenge anything, it doesn't offer dialectic or critique." Among playwrights who do offer that sort of critique, and consequently go unproduced, Wellman mentions older playwrights Jenkin, Jones, and Eric Overmyer, as well as newer ones like Cassidy (Interim again) and Kevin Oakes (The Vomit Talk of Ghosts"very funny and ribald and scary").
Many of the same names and plays turn up over and over again. Jones and Cassidy receive several mentions, as do Congdon, Stuart, Eric Ehn, and Lynn Nottage. Emily Jane O'Dell's The French Revolution, Part Deux (a new jersey play), in which the city of Paris descends upon the Garden State, is name-checked as well. Some of these playwrights are simply too new and too unproven; others may not be new enough. Some playwrights are unfamiliar to New York audiences. Director Mark Brokaw gushes over writer Barbara Blumenthal Ehrlich, hoping her recent move to the city may lead to production. He describes her play There Is No Present, which he wouldn't mind directing, as "language-based, theatricalit's about urban dwellers and how tenuous our times are." Voice theater editor Brian Parks craves the day the work of Argentinian writer-director Federico León arrives in Manhattan. Parks praises Fifteen Hundred Meters Above the Level of Jack"a surreal but heartfelt family play, set in a bathroom. The characters are dressed in wetsuits, and splash in and out of the tub, threatened with electrocution by a glowing TV resting just above the puddled floor."
Though they may not have to worry about electrocution, most playwrights do face a forbidding landscape of fewer productions and fewer grants opportunities. Professionals fret that playwrights may cease writing for the theater altogether. "Censorship is so successful at getting people to leave the field," playwright and Brown professor Paula Vogel warns. "They become novelists, they write for film and TV." One of Vogel's favorite plays, Kermit Frazier's Kernel of Sanity, never saw production. Frustrated, Frazier turned to screenwriting. Kate Robin looked at the half-dozen plays moldering on her shelf and joined the staff of Six Feet Under. Jones opines, "Plays that haven't been produced are only the tip of the spectrum. There are writers who have stopped writing plays. There are writers of proven work who are hardly writing."
Even writers such as Vogel and Craig Lucas, who have proved popular and bankable, have difficulties getting work produced in the city. Vogel regrets the neglect of her bawdy 1981 comedy The Oldest Profession; Lucas could not find a New York theater willing to take on his latest play, a boundary-pushing update of Strindberg's Miss Julie. "How many theaters do you think have offered to do it in New York?" asks Lucas. "None. So if Strindberg isn't good enough for them . . ." who is? Apparently not the more obscure playwrights and plays Lucas enthuses over: Amy Freed's The Psychic Life of Savages (about confessional poets), Joe Rudy's Bed ("original and deeply troubling"), Cyndi Coyne, Anne Washburn, Lisa Loomer, and the neglected Harry Kondoleon. In fact, Lucas was so eager to put Kondoleon's work onstage, he made the late career addition of director to his résumé and brought Kondoleon's Saved or Destroyed to the Rattlestick. He followed up with a production of Kondoleon's Play Yourself for New York Theatre Workshop.
As Lucas demonstrates, if you want an unproduced play done, you may have to produce it yourself. The enterprising engage in DIY fundraising and procure rental spaces. Mac Wellman, who had four shows up this season, pursued several strategies. He sought a commission from a college and provided them with an interpretation of A Midsummer Night's Dream; he partnered with Ridge Theater Company for Jennie Richee; he approached a dance company when no theater companies showed interest in his Antigone; Bitter Bierce or, The Friction We Call Grief, a one-man show about Ambrose Bierce, he produced and directed himself. "I don't sit around waiting for people to do my plays," Wellman counsels. "If I did I'd be unproduced. My friends who sit around and wait for it to happen are unproducedit's as simple as that. With my students at Brooklyn College, I'm trying to get them to take some initiative."
Those students might start by approaching companies and institutionssome large, some smallwith a reputation for supporting new and daring writing: Playwrights Horizons, New York Theatre Workshop (including the reading series), the Vineyard, the Public's New Work Now Festival, Soho Rep (particularly the Writers/Directors Lab), New Georges, the Little Theater at Tonic, and Clubbed Thumb. Todd London, the artistic director of New Dramatists, can speak eloquently about the despair writers feel, but he cites these venues and their seasons as encouraging. Though he wishes Bridget Carpenter's swing-dance-themed Fall, Octavio Solis's "hallucinogenic border play" El Otro, Diana Son's cross- gendered Boy, and others might see more New York stages, he himself does not lose heart: "I think that the profession of playwriting, at least in my lifetime, has never been as rich, as diverse, as plentiful as it is now. You focus on the energy of the work and you know that ultimately it will find its way."
