Proposal sent to governor for consideration
Legislation to create a state Small Business Loan Program to provide low interest loans to New Jersey small businesses that commit to increase their workforce was approved by the Assembly Monday and sent to Gov. Chris Christie for consideration.
The proposal (S-3052) would direct the state Economic Development Authority to establish the program and provide 2 percent or lower interest loans of up to $250,000 to small businesses which commit to increase employment levels by at least 10 percent within the next four years. The loans could be used for capital purchases, employee training and salaries for new positions.
In order to be eligible, a small business must be independently owned and operated; be for-profit with a place of business located in the state; be primarily operated within the state; not be dominant in its field; employ less than 100 full-time employees; have not raised $10 million or more in equity financing; and have not received $10 million or more in financing from any source.
The loan program would be self-sufficient and based upon loan repayments, and not require the state to incur any cost.
"By providing low interest loans to New Jersey's small businesses, we have real potential to create new jobs and stimulate the growth of small businesses and the economy throughout the state," Sen, Jim Whelan (D-Atlantic), a co-sponsor, said. "Small businesses have been hit hard during these tough economic times and are finding it difficult to obtain financing to expand their workforces. This program will provide these businesses, who want to help employ New Jerseyans, an option for financing."
"With unemployment still over 9 percent, we would not only help small businesses looking to expand, but would also create new jobs and opportunities for many of New Jersey's unemployed," Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Bergen) the other co-sponsor, added. "By increasing their workforces by 10 percent, these small businesses are helping to revitalize our economy and put New Jerseyans back to work."
The bill previously passed the Senate 39-0.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever.
I've been thinking a lot about the following quote lately: "There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered". I'm originally from the bay area, though only recently repatriated after seven years in Europe, and another seven years on the East Coast before that. I've been back for almost two years now, but in many ways I still feel like a stranger in my own land; it oscillates between feeling surreal, humorous, frustrating, and even novel at times. Ultimately, I'm really happy to have returned. I'd like to think that the cumulative experiences I've had along the way have shaped me for the better, and given me a wider foundation for my own philosophy, world view, sense of ethics and life priorities. At the same time... I never stopped missing California. But let's take a break from the prose. Here's some fun random trivia about myself: * I've travelled to maybe 25 countries, on 3 continents, probably a good half of them backpacking. * I travel with multiple passports, it makes me feel like a secret agent :) * I have a weakness for good belgian beer and quality stouts, porters, etc, and from time to time brew my own. * I'm pretty handy in the kitchen, I have a pretty tasty repertoire of indian and southeast asian dishes i can cook. And cookies. * I feel equal parts hippie and nerd (okay, maybe a slight disposition towards the nerd end lately), with interests spanning the spectrum between the two. * I've performed on stage at Carnegie Hall (barefoot, I should add -- you'll have to ask!) What I'm looking for here: I think I'm still figuring that out. I'd love to meet the love of my life (who wouldn't?), though I might also have some reservations about jumping straight into a super serious thing (recently out of a LTR). I'm not opposed to the notion if it feels like the right thing, but I think I'd also be happy just to meet a new friend if she made good company. So, no round pegs in square holes -- I guess I'm happy to just take things organically and see where they go. In terms of what kind of person I'm hoping to meet... In reality I think it comes down to simple chemistry (both physical and intellectual), and a sense of general reciprocity. I'd hope that we'd have some common ground on the things that are most important to each of us, but I also place a high value on being with someone who has a strong sense of individuality, with her own interests and passions in life. That's to say I'd hope there would be things that we'd immediately enjoy about each other, but that we'd also see the potential for growth and exploration, both in the relationship and in ourselves. Overly sentimental maybe, but there it is :)

Portobello (original 2008; edition 2009)
by Ruth Rendell
Work details
Portobello by Ruth Rendell (2008)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I thought that I would be reading a crime fiction. At 32 pages, I have only seen intricate character descriptions. This marks the first time that I have considered the negative side of the word intricate. I chose that adjective because it was on the dust cover, and I cannot be bothered to think any more about this work.
The English market on Portobello Road is the focal point for the interwoven lives that make up this novel. Eugene Wren is very secretive. So secretive he (secretly) wonders whether he should propose to his doctor girlfriend, Ella. Eugene is afraid she will discover his growing addiction to a certain flavor of sugar-free sweet.
The plot escalates when Eugene finds an envelope containing quite a bit of money and puts an advert in the paper to try to find the owner. Lance, a pathetic young man with delusions of criminality, seizes the opportunity to case Eugene's home for later robbery. Meanwhile Ella delivers the money to its proper owner, Joel, who has recently had a near death experience and has begun to see things and hear voices.
I found this novel charming. The writing and story-telling is truly on point at all times. I immediately loved the characters (or loved to hate them) and was fascinated by their bizarre inner lives. Funny, odd, sometimes creepy, but ultimately satisfying.
There's no mystery about the murder, but Portobello is a novel full of interesting characters whose lives intersect. Not everyone will get a happy ending, but enough of them do.
I'm a huge fan of Ms. Rendell and hate writing anything critical of her work, but I was disappointed in Portobello.
As always, I was drawn into her cast of characters, from the quirky to the disturbed. She's a master at weaving the threads of disparate lives to an inevitable conclusion. Because of her brilliant characters that popped off the page and planted themselves in my mind, I gave this book three stars. I enjoyed the ride.
However, the ending was weak and left me unsatisfied. One story line that had lured me in with hints of a dark outcome fell flat without anything happening. The other threads were too tidy in their conclusions and all conflicts were resolved too quickly. The sense of "happily ever after" made this novel veer toward a fairy tale.
If you've never read one of her novels, don't start here, but definitely give the rest of her work a try. You won't be disappointed.
I was fine with apparent strangers being connected to each other until the doctor's patient turns out to be the lover of the man who tried to convince the doctor's fiance that he (the patient's lover) was the owner of the money found by the fiance, even though the rightful owner was the son of a man to whom the fiance had sold a painting. There are other connections as well. The description of a secret chocorange addiction with the resulting guilt and shame was well done. Only one character seems to actually change and grow (Lance, who comes to realize that he can't trust everyone), the lives of the others follow their natural course. SPOILER: The book has no loose ends and justice seems to be done.
sfeervol met suspenseAlweer een geweldig boek van Ruth Rendell, naast een prachtig beeld van de Londense wijk Portobello heeft ze een geweldig portret geschreven van een aantal mensen wier levens verstrikt raken.Het is nauwelijks een misdaadroman, al komen er wel moorden in voor. Het zijn vooral prachtige beschrijving van eenzame, obsessieve mensen in het moderne Londen. Bovendien weet ze weer alle touwtje op een geweldige manier aan elkaar te knopen zodat je wil blijven doorlezen.

No descriptions found.
Walking to the shops one day in London's Notting Hill, fifty-year-old Eugene Wren discovers an envelope on the street bulging with cash. A man plagued by a shameful addiction, Wren hatches a plan to find the money's rightful owner. Instead of going to the police, or taking the cash for himself, he prints a notice and posts it around Portobello Road. This ill-conceived act creates a chain of events that links Wren to other Londoners--people afflicted with their own obsessions and despairs. As these volatile characters come into Wren's life--and the life of his trusting fiancée--the consequences will change them all.… (more)

Today Hillsborough County Commissioners voted to send a letter to Gov.

A one-mile race down Main Street in Waynesville on Friday evening, Aug. 13, will raise money for the Shriners Children Hospital.
The Main Street Mile is a brand-new road race down the historic section of Main Street, starting one mile south of the Haywood County Courthouse.
"The mile distance is creating a lot of interest in the local running community since runners of all levels always want to know how fast they can run a mile," said Dr. Jason Bodnar, vice president of the Main Street Mile.
There will be a post-race party with food, drinks, beer from Highlands Brewing Company and live music featuring Chris Williams, lead singer of Asheville's Empty Slate.
"We look forward to the Main Street Mile growing and becoming a summer staple to our downtown events as well as to the WNC race series," said Dr. Eric Yarrington, president of the Main Street Mile. "In addition to highlighting our beautiful town and providing a unique racing experience, we are truly running for the children in helping Shriners continue to provide pediatric specialty care to our region."
The race will be run in waves. Under 18 age group starts at 6:30 p.m., female runners at 6:50 p.m., and male runners at 7:10 p.m. A team event for local police, fire and emergency services personnel will start at 7:30 p.m. After registering at Badcock Furniture near the race finish line, racers will walk one mile up Main Street to the starting line, serving as the perfect warm-up.

Neil Fox (broadcaster)
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2009)
|Neil Fox
12 June 1961
Harrow, Middlesex, England
|East Preston, West Sussex
Chelsea, London
|Other names
|Dr. Fox
|Radio & television broadcaster
Neil Andrew Howe Fox (born 12 June 1961[1] in Harrow, Middlesex) is an English radio DJ and television presenter, known for many years as Dr Fox before he became "Foxy" in the 2000s. He is now known simply as Neil Fox.
He was a judge on Pop Idol between 2001 and 2003 alongside Simon Cowell, Pete Waterman and Nicki Chapman. He appeared as himself, judging a superhero talent show, in BBC Three sketch show The Wrong Door. He was arrested on 30 September 2014 in regards to allegations of sex offences.[2]
Early life[edit]
As a boy he moved to Thames Ditton, Surrey where he lived for a number of years. He was then educated at Kingston Grammar School in London and joined the Air Training Corps, before becoming a management student at the University of Bath, where he joined the student radio station University Radio Bath, and began his career as a radio presenter using the pseudonym Andrew Howe. After leaving university he worked as a binliner salesman.[3] He is not a qualified doctor although did receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Bath in respect of his contributions to the media and charity. As a child he enjoyed making the trip to Adams Park to watch Wycombe Wanderers, a team he holds close to his heart.
Radio career[edit]
Radio Wyvern[edit]
In 1984 he started his professional radio career on what is now Free Radio Herefordshire & Worcestershire (then Radio Wyvern) in Hereford and Worcester, starting off with a show called Mellow Yellow. This was broadcast on Friday nights from 9.00 pm - 11.00pm & Saturday nights from 8.00 pm -11.00 pm. In 1985, Fox took over the weekday evening show from 6.00 pm - 9.00 pm, before moving to their weekday afternoon show from 2.00 pm - 6.00 pm. He also presented a Saturday morning show for the station, which went out from 10.00 am - 1.00 pm. He remained there until late 1986, then joined Radio Luxembourg in February 1987 before joining Capital Radio in October the same year.[4]
Capital Radio[edit]
Fox presented the station's evening show from 7.30 pm -10.00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (sharing weekday evenings with Pat Sharp), where some of his first shows were broadcast only on medium wave, because Capital were then broadcasting "adult" rock music on FM while mainstream chart music was played on MW. However this soon ceased, the MW transmitters were given over to 'oldies' station Capital Gold, and the FM service became Capital FM. He also presented a Saturday morning show.
In the very early 1990s, there was a short period in which Fox hosted a show starting at midnight on Saturday, specifically aimed at the club crowd. It was for this show that he adopted the moniker "Dr Fox", with the full title of the programme being "Dr Fox's Midnight Surgery". This was at the suggestion of Capital's Programme Director, Richard Park, who some years previously had been a presenter on Radio Clyde and had hosted a similar show under the pseudonym "Dr Dick". Many people called the show for requests, Foxy was well known for lots of banter with the callers and the "Surgery" was soon extended to his weekday evening shows.
Fox was establishing himself as one of Capital FM's most popular DJs[citation needed], and in 1993 he began presenting the Sunday-afternoon Network Chart Show; which due to sponsorship went on to be called the Pepsi Network Chart before becoming simply the Pepsi Chart in 1996 and then hit40uk, sponsored by Woolworth's in 2003. During Fox's tenure, this show, which had previously been hosted by David Jensen, overtook the official Top 40 show on BBC Radio 1 (broadcast at exactly the same time) in terms of audience share as published in the JICRAR figures during the time[citation needed]. In addition to this, he still continued with his evening show, although from 1995, he went out on Sundays to Thursdays. On Sundays, his show went out from 7.00 pm - 8.30 pm on Sundays as he presented the Chart show beforehand. In 1997, it was rumoured that Matthew Bannister offered Fox the breakfast show on BBC Radio 1, following the departure of Chris Evans from the station. In late 1998 he took over Capital's 4.00 pm -7.00 pm drivetime show from David Jensen which was later extended to 8.00 pm.
Fox also presented a show on Channel 5 based around the Pepsi Chart[citation needed] from 1998 until 2002, and he was famously a judge on Pop Idol, as well as presenting various other ITV1 shows. On Capital FM he moved from the weekday evening show to the drivetime show in 1998, again succeeding David Jensen. He deputised for Chris Tarrant on the station's breakfast show on many occasions, especially after Tarrant changed to part-time work in 2003, but was passed over in favour of Johnny Vaughan as Tarrant's successor.
Fox claimed[citation needed] that he wanted to leave Capital when he didn't get the breakfast show, but he initially changed his mind and remained for a while longer. On 30 May 2004 he presented his last hit40uk after 11 years, but remained on Capital FM until the spring of 2005 when he left the station after 18 years, his drivetime show being taken over by Richard Bacon.
Magic 105.4[edit]
Since 12 September 2005, he has been the presenter of the "More Music Breakfast Show" on Magic 105.4 FM in London, and on DAB, Freeview and Satellite across the UK. The show is broadcast every weekday morning from 6.00 am -10.00 am.
Fox holds ten[5] Sony awards and was awarded the Gold award for lifetime achievement in 2009, as well as having been voted to claim the "Best Disc Jockey" award from the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party multiple times. Fox has also been rewarded with the Arqiva Lifetime achievement award.[6]
Television career[edit]
On 12 October 2008, Fox joined his fellow ex-Pop Idol judges Pete Waterman and Nicki Chapman on Peter Kay's Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice, a spoof on the talent show genre of programmes.
Fox appeared on the satirical show Brass Eye's controversial 2001 Paedophilia Special, where he claimed that "Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact... there's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact."[7][8]
Other television work and appearances include Doctor Fox's Video Jukebox on LWT, Ice Warriors (voiceover) and The Big Call (host) on ITV, and Not the Jack Docherty Show (host) on Channel 5.
He was also on the end of every episode in Dirty Tricks when Barry and Stuart "killed" him, using various methods.
He appeared on Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs, where he received his puppy Bonzo.
On 2 April 2014, Fox appeared on an episode of Big Star's Little Star with his daughter Martha.
In August 2014, Fox was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on that issue.[9]
Fox is an avid supporter of Wycombe Wanderers.
Fox was arrested on 30 September 2014 at Magic FM headquarters in London by police investigating claims of historical sex offences. The arrest came after separate allegations were made by two women, while three allegations are of historic nature one is said to have taken place earlier in 2014. His arrest is not part of the high-profile sex crime investigation Operation Yewtree, which was set up in the wake of revelations about BBC presenter Jimmy Savile. Fox's homes in Fulham and Littlehampton, West Sussex, were searched.[10] He was subsequently released on bail until December 2014[11] when he was rearrested in relation to three other alleged incidents. He was again bailed until March 2015. On 13 March he was further arrested for an alleged sexual offence against a woman in the early 1990s.[12] He remained on bail until late March when he was then charged with nine sex offences against six people, of whom three were under the age of 16.[13] The offences allegedly occurred between 1991 and 2014.[14] He entered pleas of not guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 16 April 2015.[14][15] His trial is set to begin on 5 November.[16]

Thus, TGAS models account for several factors that influence the breathing rate. The TGAS models would probably need to be restructured and calibrated to estimate the combustion-product-exposure conditions presented to the committee and also to estimate internal dosimetrics, such as COHb resulting from CO exposure.

After years of trying, Molly Woods is finally pregnant. Cause for celebration, right?
Well, not so much. See, she's been away from her husband, John, for 13 months.
On a solo mission.
In the vacuum of space.
If just one of those factors had been in play during Molly's conception, the whole situation would've been, at the very least, awkward. But all three? Houston, we have a problem.
Extant, a CBS summer sci-fi series from executive producer Steven Spielberg, is a surprisingly daring show for a network that has thrived for years on a regimen of crime procedurals and salacious comedies. Starring Oscar-winner Halle Berry, it has the flavor of Lost in space—a freaky, futuristic vision that contemplates nothing less than the meaning of life, both human and otherwise. And it's not just Molly's impending bundle of ... well, whatever ... that's ratcheting up the tension.
Back when Molly and John discovered they couldn't make babies the traditional way, John took matters into his own hands and built them one—and the magical-mech result is now a lovable, albeit sometimes creepy 8-year-old named Ethan. This is a big deal, of course, and not just for the Woods family. Their futuristic world has been filled for a while now with lots of labor-saving machines and computers, but no one's been able to create something that can not only look human, but act it, too. John believes that to get a machine to think like a person you have to "raise" it like one, where it (he) can learn the complexities of right and wrong just like a real kid would. To John, Ethan represents the next step forward in artificial intelligence, and possibly even evolution.
'Course, this method of raising the next generation of computers does have its perils. Prospective investors want him to install safeguards to make sure humanity isn't someday crushed by a horde of self-aware and potentially self-aggrandizing Ethans. John refuses to do so. In fact, he'd consider it monstrous, given that Ethan isn't just a bit of sophisticated AI to him: Ethan's his son, as loved and as loving as a flesh-and-blood boy. As such, John wants Ethan and all these future creations (he calls them humanixes) to be "free to choose their own path."
In short, the Woods—what with their astronaut mother, AI geneticist father, fabricated son and who knows what growing in utero—are probably one of the most interesting families on the block. So perhaps it's not surprising that they're drawing quite a bit of interest from various ... entities. ISEA, a privatized version of NASA that employs Molly, is spying on her. John's primary investor—a mysterious man named Hideki Yasumoto—seems to also be very interested in Molly's, um, delicate condition. Molly's being visited by a fellow astronaut, too—one who supposedly committed suicide after his own strange solo mission. And just wait 'til the baby's daddy stops by for a visit!
It's very early in the series at this writing, but we've already seen some sexually charged scenes. Violence and peril are clearly to be expected, too. But it may be the ethical and spiritual themes that either ground Extant or allow it to blast off. And the battle lines are already being drawn. John doesn't believe in a soul and suggests any who do are idiots. Molly has said she was "meant" to be where she is, suggesting a belief in some sort of divine providence. And perhaps it's telling that Molly's controversial mission took place aboard a station called the Seraphim, a reference to a hierarchy of angels.
It seems Extant will have to grow and develop a bit—much like little AI Ethan—before we know what it's really all about.

Molly returns from a 13-month solo space mission and is told by her doctor that she's pregnant. It's a mystery that's colored by a flashback to her being visited in space by someone (something) looking a whole lot like an old (dead) flame of hers.
There's talk about humans having souls—and AIs not having them. But John's not buying the distinction, recoiling from the idea of installing a kill switch in Ethan. "What you call a soul I call the cumulative effect of a lifetime of experience," he says before labeling his intellectual opponent an idiot.
Marcus runs his finger down the front of Molly's spacesuit, and we see images of her looking like she's experiencing sexual arousal … by herself. Back on Earth, John and Molly are shown showering together and kissing. (Steam shields most of the nudity.) Ethan wrestles down a kid who won't give him a ball. And when the young AI drops his ice cream cone, he throws a fit and runs away; Molly finds him beside a dead bird.
We see Molly throw up. Characters drink wine and talk about doing shots. Molly's doctor jokes that she'll write Molly a prescription for margaritas. We see someone in a loincloth (lying still on a table). We hear one "d--n."

Amberton is not for everyone. There are no athletics or social clubs. While these activities are important to the traditional student, Amberton is best suited to older, non-traditional students who are serious about pursing a quality education. The average age for the Amberton student is thirty seven. Convenience is important to the adult student and in this regard Amberton on-site lecture classes are offered in Garland and Frisco during the evening hours and on Saturdays, as well as online class offerings for those students needing more flexibility. On-site classes meet once a week during the four ten-week sessions. This allows Amberton students to balance family and career while attending college. Affordability and value are also important to the adult student. Amberton was recently rated a "best buy" by the consumer guide GetEducated.com. Tuition is a very reasonable $235 per credit hour, among the lowest in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The affordability of Amberton classes allows the majority of Amberton students to graduate debt free. Amberton is fully accredited and classes are taught by a prestigious list of professors, all professionals in their field. The University offers a variety of undergraduate programs in the areas of Business, Management, and Project Management. Graduate degrees include MBAs in Business, Management, Leadership and Project Management as well as programs in Human Resource Training and Development and Human Relations.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2,513,171 people died in America in 2011 from all causes. On average, 6,885 people died every day; 287 people every hour; 5 people every minute; one person every 12 seconds. In the time it takes you to read this devotional 5 to 10 people will die in America. At this moment, tears are being shed somewhere over the pain of loss. And that's just in America, which represents only 8.5 percent of the world's population. Is it any wonder Paul spoke of creation groaning for freedom (Romans 8:20-22)?
All of us will shed tears of pain and loss and grief at some time in life. But a day is coming when all those tears will be wiped away and will never be seen again. The sounds of pain will be replaced by the sounds of praise to the One who has redeemed us from a fallen world and ushers us into a new heaven and new earth.
If you are shedding tears of loss today, ask God to help you transition from pain to praise for the One who knows your every tear.
There is a land of pure delight, where saints immortal reign; infinite day excludes the night, and pleasures banish pain.
Isaac Watts

POETIC LICENSE4th Annual Festival of New Poetic TheaterFebruary 2-22, 2015Wild Project
Poetic Theater Productions is an NYC theater company working with poets & playwrights to create a visceral, poetic theater
The reviews are in! Check out these great write-ups and get your tickets to the remaining performances!
Paradox of the Urban Cliché: Remaining performances: February 19 at 8PM, February 21 & 22 at 3PMBuy tickets now!
"With a fine cast of four, including W. Tré Davis in multiple roles, and a talented design team — particularly the video designer David Palmer and the sound designer Julian Evans — the new play simmers with anger about injustices both recent and historical." - The New York Times
"The pain-filled verses flowed with an easy grace" - The New York Times
"At least you got a chance to make the ugly beautiful," [Ceez] says, and that's what Mr. Grant is doing, too." - The New York Times
"It is a play you won't soon shake off." - StageBuddy
"...it is the language that is the true pleasure here. Dense and immensely layered, Grant's script shifts mellifluously between flat-out dialogue, and heightened spoken word." - StageBuddy
"Reginald L. Douglas does incredible work, crafting a finely tuned world, and drawing great depths of emotion and finesse from his actors." - StageBuddy
"[Craig muMs Grant's] words are ingeniously singular and personal" - New York Theater Review
"Paradox acquires potent power, with thoughtfully drawn characters and some head- spinning turns into philosophy. Grant alludes to great themes — power, race, justice — without grandstanding, and he keeps the focus on the inner self in the inner city." - The Village Voice
"[Craig muMs Grant] devises fluid dialogue mixed with rhythm-driven soliloquies, and he's clearly a writer to watch." - The Village Voice
Dijla Wal Furat: Between the Tigris and the EuphratesRemaining performances: February 17, 18 and 21 at 8PM Buy tickets now!
"Playwright Maurice Decaul's examination of the early stages of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, serves as a potent reminder that war is one of the more pointless enterprises in which humanity engages with great and repetitive frequency" - Talkin' Broadway
"The performances under Alex Mallory's direction are first-rate all around." - Talkin' Broadway
"It's a dreamlike experience that leaves the audience contemplating the true extent and fallout of a seemingly unending conflict." - New York Theater Review
"fresh and relevant" - New York Theater Review
"Visually stunning" - Charged.fm
"Euphrates constantly emphasizes the fundamental unity and humanity among everyone in the war, struggling just to survive." - Charged.fm
Poetic License is Poetic Theater Productions' annual festival of new poetic theater, which has grown from five days to three weeks in the past four years. The fourth annual Poetic License features two fully realized productions of exciting new poetic plays written by company members, a reading series of six new works of poetic theater identified through an open submission process, and three special events: Breaking Our Silence, a celebration of LGBT voices; Love, Redefined, remixes, and re-imaginings of traditional love poems in celebration of non-commercial, non-traditional love; and Generation Now, a showcase of youth voices in poetic theater in partnership with Urban Word NYC, Girl Be Heard, Dare Tactic, viBe Theater Experience and Earsay Youth Voices.

The festival runs from February 5-22ndat the Wild Project, located at 195 East 3rd Street in New York City's East Village
Poetic Theater Productions seeks to define the modern genre of "poetic theater" by connecting and fostering a community of artists who are passionately creating relevant and accessible work and reinvigorating a conscious theater of language. Poetic Theater Productions offers resources and opportunities for poets, playwrights, and theater artists to create new work and see it through to production via educational workshops, developmental readings and performance. PTP seeks out and creates opportunities to connect with communities affected by the issues of topic within our productions, in NYC and nationwide, through collaborative projects and exchanges of art and ideas.
Who We Are:
Poetic Theater Productions started in 2010 as a way to put the work of slam poets into a theatrical setting which became a theatrical production company, and has moved into providing a platform for poetic theater artists of all backgrounds, offering resources and support to poets interested in writing for the theater and playwrights developing work with poetic influence. We exist in response to the increasing need in America for a diverse theatrical landscape of voice, subject matter and form. We respond to the need for a theatrical platform for traditionally marginalized voices and narratives kept out of mainstream because of cultural and socioeconomic conditions which result in a departure from the American theatrical tradition - i.e. hip hop, dance theater, slam poetry, oral storytelling, and ritual. Poetic Theater Productions has created and is constantly expanding its community of socially engaged, innovative poetic theater artists and actively engaged audience in productions engaging voices and narratives from Black/African-American communities, veterans, LGBT, and socioeconomically challenged youth, among others. We create space for conversations surrounding these issues to occur across boundaries of race and class, elevating the conversation on responsibility, activism and practice. By organizing the tools and resources to support new voices and styles of narrative, we are validating these other forms of storytelling within the realm of theater to communities who look to theater as a way to understand humanity.
At our core, we believe in providing space and resources to poetic theater artists to see their work realized, in encouraging our artists to continue to develop their craft and to collaborate with each other, in supporting the voices of underrepresented artists and legitimizing their work on a New York stage, and inciting conversations across generations, cultures and political viewpoints. There is stigma surrounding slam theater or hip hop theater that's only seen as relevant to a particular community, and also of Shakespeare and verse theater which is similarly seen as exclusive towards its audience, and Poetic Theater Productions seeks to break those assumptions by putting hip hop and verse on the same stage and bringing those audiences together.
We hope to have a defining impact on the genre of Poetic Theater and add to the theatrical lexicon by strengthening the impact of heightened text that engages political, social and cultural ideas as an important theatrical form. We also hope to reach nontraditional audiences by speaking on themes important to them and using language accessible and impactful to them, and we hope to inspire more poets to use the tools of playwriting to explore and expand the potential reach and impact of their work.
Range of Programs:
Conscious Language is a series of educational workshops, panels and performance about the power of words in performance. The workshops, lead by Craig "muMs" Grant and Lauren Whitehead, teach poets how to write plays and give them an opportunity to share that work with the public. The panels engage leading artists such as Saul Williams, José Rivera and Dominique Morisseau in conversation about the role of art in activism alongside performances of works in process by artists in our community.
Poetic License is our annual festival of new poetic theater, which has grown from five days to three weeks in the past four years. The fourth annual Poetic License features two fully realized productions of exciting new poetic plays written by company members, a reading series of six new works of poetic theater identified through an open submission process, and three special events: Breaking Our Silence, a celebration of LGBT voices; Love, Redefined, remixes, and re-imaginings of traditional love poems in celebration of non-commercial, non-traditional love; and Generation Now, a showcase of youth voices in poetic theater in partnership with Urban Word NYC, Girl Be Heard, Generation Why, viBe Theater Experience and Earsay Youth Voices.
Goliath is a 45 minute, spare-set choreodrama which contends with war, atrocity, post-traumatic stress, masculinity, and homophobia in the context of the US invasion of Iraq, which continues to have relevance in this contemporary moment. Every performance of Goliath features poetry before the play begins written and performed by veterans in the community, and is followed by a moderated discussion, creating a forum for audience members to respond and converse with the creative team and cast. Goliath has been embraced by civilians, military families and veterans alike. We plan to take the show across the country in late 2015 and early 2016 to continue to engage veterans, college students and local communities in conjunction with workshops run by the artists, enabling audiences to begin having these important conversations and to witness the power of theater to heal and create conversation across divided communities.
Other programming includes Poetic Theater Productions Presents: informal presentation of 10-12 new poetic theater works in various stages of development, Uncharted: table readings of new work by Poetic Theater Productions artists, full productions of poetic theater works, sometimes as part of an external festival, and educational opportunities in the form of internships in marketing, administration, literary and production.

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis will have surgery on his torn ACL Thursday and will be placed on season-ending injured reserve, head coach Rex Ryan told reporters Friday. The move clears a roster spot needed after safety Eric Smith sprained his knee in practice on Thursday, forcing him out of Sunday's game against Indianapolis. "I know I had said before about Darrelle that I'd like to wait for him to have surgery before we placed him on IR or not," Ryan said. "Unfortunately with that time situation, you've had Eric Smith being out this week, we're going to need that roster spot." The team planned to fill the empty roster spot with a safety by Saturday. The Jets delayed placing Revis on IR based on the small chance that he could return for the Super Bowl XLVII in February, should the Jets advance that far. "When I said it was a 0.002 percent chance? Well, it's not that high," Ryan said. " ... I was holding out hope but the more information we got, I realized that wo...
