Gay kiss for Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick

There should be lots of Boys kissing Boys in these shows. after all Boys do indulge in slap and tickle in all sorts of situations with each other…even if they don't talk about it afterwards.
I look forward to the day that on-screen same-sex kissing doesn't merit news headlines, but is just accepted as being fine.
The Books that TV Programme is based on practically has a gay kiss on every page, especially the character Ed Westwick portrays, the news should have been that they've waited so long.
"Gossip blogs Perez Hilton and Queerty.com claimed they had been contacted by reporters at NY Daily News and The New York Post claiming to have proof the heartthrobs were a couple."
Sad that in the US actors sexuality is still such a big deal and that, if they're gay, they feel they have to hide the fact. If it's wasn't such a major thing then onscreen kisses like this wouldn't get so much publicity.
Why is this news? Who cares?
Andy sweet thing,
Have you no heart, have you no feeling for these icons of Gaity and poetry in motion….perchance to dream and sing loves sweet song….And then suddenly wake up holding the pillow!
You know what doesn't advance our cause?
"ahh a boy is going to be on tv kissing a boy"
This is not news, this should just be, you know – life, normal, mundane. I feel bad for the 'journo' wasting their time writing this.

Placentia-Linda Hospital has been fined $50,000 after two female patients were sexually assaulted by an anesthesiologist, the California Department of Public Health announced Wednesday.
The fine is the hospital's first and stems from the 2011 arrest of Dr. Yashwant B. Giri of Cypress. Last year, he pleaded not guilty to five felony charges. He has been barred from practicing medicine while his legal case is under way.
The Placentia hospital was one of seven across the state to be fined for deficiencies causing serious harm or death to patients. Since 2007, California has levied $10.4 million in fines to 142 hospitals.
In a statement issued Wednesday, Placentia-Linda said it plans to appeal the fine.
"We take seriously our responsibility to deliver quality, safe health care to our patients. … When we became aware of this matter, we reported it to the State of California, and the medical staff member has not been on our staff since April 2011," the hospital said.
The state's investigative report does not name the anesthesiologist, but the facts in the case match earlier Register coverage of Giri's arrest in May 2011.
The documents give the following account:
In April 2011, the hospital reported to the state and police that a female employee saw a male anesthesiologist fondle the breasts of a female patient while she was under anesthesia for surgery.
The document redacts the date of the employee's allegation, but says it was not immediately reported to police. In a previous statement to the media, Placentia-Linda said it learned of the allegation in March 2011.
The report says that before police were notified, the doctor was taken off the surgery schedule but was practicing at other hospitals.
The allegation was not the first against the anesthesiologist, the report says.
During an interview with the state, the hospital's chief anesthesiologist said that about a year before, a nurse had reported to him that a surgical technician had seen the anesthesiologist touch a female patient's genitals while he was performing a nerve block to numb the lower body.
The chief anesthesiologist did not report the incident to the administration, as called for by the hospital's policy, but instructed the nurse and surgical technician to monitor him during surgeries.
In a plan of correction filed with the state, the hospital said staff underwent training on proper reporting of such incidents.

NEW BERN, CRAVEN COUNTY - Police have released the name of a man wanted for allegedly shooting another man during an armed robbery in New Bern Monday night.
A warrant has been issued for 21-year-old Deontre Randall, described as a black male, for robbery with a dangerous weapon, said the New Bern Police Department.

Officers responded at about 10:07 p.m. Monday.
Family members took Moore to CarolinaEast Medical Center, police said. The victim was later transferred to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville.

Move over, "Walking Dead." In a quest to take a bite out of crime, the LAPD's Northeast Division has produced a new video, starring — what else? — zombies.
Cue a seven-minute homemade mini-movie of zombies marauding down a northeast Los Angeles street. The moaning zombies steal iPads and other items from parked cars in the videotaped public service announcement.
Cut to a couple in their living room. "Chad, the zombies are out again," a woman tells a man reading a book, who acts matter-of-fact until the conversation turns to his car.
The nervous man yells to call 911, making a face like Shaggy in a Scooby-Doo cartoon before yelling about his baby — an apparent reference to his tablet or computer.

Can't wait to see the Vikings! I've never watched it before but I have good reason to watch it now!! Maybe the next time we get to see him will be at the Emmy Awards sometime in September! I think Roots is up for some awards so he might be there to support the cast! Can't wait!!
Glad to read about Jonathan and the Vikings. Hopefully m is no more. He can do better.
I am so excited to see him in the upcoming season of Vikings! I hope its a huge part, so we can see him every week forever... :)
It's not odd at all. Hysterical really. She is so easy to forget. No matter how "well connected" the "producer and actress" is. Bwahaha. Give me a break. She tried so hard to be something without working for it. Pay attention Mermara. Life is teaching you a lesson.
I find it odd that they are showing a picture of him with Reena! Why not him with Marcia?? Hopefully, it means he's really single!! Maybe, they just wanted to show him with a real beauty and we know who has the looks and the class! And it sure isn't Marcia!
Also I like how specific in which episode Jonathan will make an appearance on Vikings.
Though their break up is not 100% sure at least media has taste and mentioned the beauty Reena instead of fiddling Marcia on the recent article: http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/41535/20160828/vikings-season-4-episode-11-air-date-spoilers-news-update-ragnar-lothbrok-death-confirmed-by-jonathan-rhys-meyers-character.htm
Very tragic for sure, DM. I have lots of friends from Italy and, thankfully, they are all safe. Prayers for the victims families.
My heart goes out to the families in Italy and Myanmar.
I think !!! that it's possible!! that we might just have to wait and see!!!!!
I think Jonathan has moved on and just took this opportunity with Vikings( not only to take part in a amazing story) as a long time apart from her, to let wounds heal and to bury himself in his work. He will keep on succeeding, will become stronger, wiser and he will find someone else.
Connect any celebrity with Jonathan Rhys Meyers to see how closely they are linked... romantically!

Recent reviews
Good 3.4 /5 from 400 reviews
We needed a room to stay that was close to the Mather VA Hospital. The room served the purpose It was convenient and after my husbands surgery they allowed us to check in a little earlier than our check in time. They were courteous and the breakfast had a good variety to choose from.
Nice hotel but have to upgrade breakfast.
Hubby and I arrived here at about 8pm or so at night. First thing we see when we pull up? 2 cop cars sitting out front. Great. Still checked in, room was already paid for unfortunately. Then, as we went to our room, we see several hookers. Which after seeing 2 cop cars it didnt surprise me. Room was ok, bed was ok, cob webs all over, and ant, spiders and unknown bug. Very disappointed in hotels.com
The hotel staff (at least the lobby staff) were very rude. The AC in the room initially did not work (on a 105 degree day). There were bugs in the bathroom. Garbage hotel!
The room itself was great but the neighborhood was industrial and the outside of the building wasn't nearly as nice as the inside rooms, which had recently been remodeled. There were a lot of smokers among the guests. The rooms were non-smoking but there were cigarette butts around the grounds and some people smoking outside of their rooms. Lots of families with children. Served my purpose for a brief stay.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

In considering the effects of the slave trade in the west, the biggest factor that was applied was the theory of Democratic government as it developed in the west after the US won its Independence from England. The slave trade was brought to the west in the late sixteenth century, and to the US in the late seventeenth century. It was a growing business. The New England shippers used to run rum to the West Indies, then from that profit purchase slaves in West Africa, then back to sell the slaves ...

News 2 Helicopters Called to Highway Crash Scene
QUANTICO, Va. — Two helicopters were called this morning to fly two injured patients to a hospital following a crash.
The crashed happened in the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 at Quantico at 8:21 a.m., said Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.
All lanes of the northbound portion of the highway at the crash scene were closed so rescue crews could attend to the victims and the crash.
Two lanes were reopened at 9:19 a.m. so traffic could get by the crash, and all lanes reopened about 20 minutes later.
Details of the crash have not been released and the victims have not been identified.

" Best place in Ios to stay. Amazing location, our room had the most beautiful view over the ocean and town. It's close to all the bars and clubs, close to cafes and supermarkets. Only a quick 5 min bus from the beach. The rooms are very clean and well equip, air con, clean showers etc. The staff were super helpful welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is great too, the pool during the day and the bar at night. Good for groups or solo travellers - you can't get lonely! Would 100% stay again! "- Anonymous

Physics Titan Still Thinks String Theory Is "On the Right Track"
At a 1990 conference on cosmology, I asked attendees, who included folks like Stephen Hawking, Michael Turner, James Peebles, Alan Guth and Andrei Linde, to nominate the smartest living physicist.
At a 1990 conference on cosmology, I asked attendees, who included folks like Stephen Hawking, Michael Turner, James Peebles, Alan Guth and Andrei Linde, to nominate the smartest living physicist. Edward Witten got the most votes (with Steven Weinberg the runner-up). Some considered Witten to be in the same league as Einstein and Newton. Witten was and is famous for his work on string theory, which unifies quantum mechanics and relativity and holds that all of nature's forces—including gravity–stem from infinitesimal particles wriggling in a hyperspace consisting of many extra dimensions.
Even then, string theory—which some enthusiasts (not including Witten) called a "theory of everything"–was extremely controversial, because there seemed to be no way to confirm experimentally the existence of…

Is Scientific Materialism "Almost Certainly False"?
When it comes to science, ours is a paradoxical era. On the one hand, prominent physicists proclaim that they are solving the riddle of reality and hence finally displacing religious myths of creation. That is the chest-thumping message of books such as The Grand Design by physicists Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow and A Universe from Nothing by Lawrence Krauss. A corollary of this triumphal view is that science will inevitably solve all other mysteries as well.
On the other hand, science's limits have never been more glaringly apparent. In their desperation for a "theory of everything"—which unifies quantum mechanics and relativity and explains the origin and structure of our cosmos—physicists have embraced pseudo-scientific speculation such as multi-universe theories and the anthropic principle (which says that the universe must be as we observe it to be because otherwise we wouldn't be here to observe it). Fields such as neuroscience, evolutionary…

'Ears Like a Bat?' – Not the Best Anymore!
Yes, Bats have incredible hearing, the best of any mammal, but it turns out that one of their favorite prey has developed even more sensitive hearing to elude its main predator – the common bat.
Meet the Greater Wax Moth.
A native of Eurasia, the moth was introduced some time ago in North America, and bats find them very tasty both locations.
Researchers at the University of Strathclyde discovered that the greater wax moth is capable of sensing sound frequencies of up to 300kHz – the highest recorded frequency sensitivity of any animal in the natural world.
Humans are only capable of hearing sounds of 20kHz maximum, dropping to around 12-15kHz as we age, and even dolphins, known exponents of ultrasound, can't compete as their limitations are around 160kHz.
The research, conducted at the University's Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering, has identified the extraordinary sensory characteristics of the moth, paving the…

CBS Wants 'How I Met Your Mother' Spin-Off
"How I Met Your Mother" is nearing its end but a legacy from the show may stay on CBS. Reports say the network is discussing a potential spin-off with series creators/executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas as well as "Up All Night" creator/executive producer Emily Spivey.
To be told in narrative style like "HIMYM", the proposed spin-off is currently called "How I Met Your Father". It will feature a new group of New York friends and chronicle a female member of the group's quest to meet her future husband.
Words are, MacLaren's Pub, the favorite hangout for Ted, Barney, Marshall, Lily and Robin, may be featured on the potential new show. If the proposed spin-off gets a greenlight, it's likely that the new characters will be introduced in the "HIMYM" series finale.
Bays and Thomas have always been open to a potential "HIMYM" spin-off, tossing around some ideas including one which could have the titular mother as a central character. "We've had conversations about rewinding back to 2005 and doing a series called 'How I Met Your Father'," Thomas said in 2012. "From the perspective of what was happening with the Mother all those years. Occasionally, she'll stumble through McLaren's and no one will see her."
Earlier this year, he told Entertainment Weekly, "There's a world where the universe of the show can keep existing in a way that feels coherent to what's come before, but new enough to be worth watching."

Broncos biggest NFL favorite ever in Vegas books
LAS VEGAS (AP) — It looked like a mismatch even before Peyton Manning
hooked up for his first touchdown pass to Wes Welker and the rest of
the NFL found out just how bad the Jacksonville Jaguars really are.
But now it's official. The Denver Broncos are the biggest favorite ever
in an NFL game in this gambling city, a whopping four-touchdown pick
Sunday at home against the hapless Jaguars.
Sports books in and around Las Vegas make Manning and the Broncos a
28-point favorite over Jacksonville, unheard of in an industry where
half-point swings can be huge and most teams are rated within a few
points of each other. But even the big line hasn't stopped people from
betting money on the Broncos, even after they didn't cover the spread
in Sunday's 51-48 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
"It didn't take people long to jump on the Broncos bandwagon, which is
at its capacity now," said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at
the LVH hotel. "And we expect that to continue."
Though the city's legal sports books don't keep historical records on
such things — and the NFL refuses to even acknowledge that betting
lines exist — those in the industry say the lopsided point spread
surpasses the 26-point margin for favored Pittsburgh against Tampa Bay
in 1976 when the Buccaneers were an expansion franchise and the
Steelers got within a game of the Super Bowl.
More recently, the biggest favorite was New England as a 24-point pick
over Philadelphia in 2007, the year the Patriots made it through the
regular season undefeated.
"You have a team that can't seem to get out of their own way against a
team that put up 51 points on Sunday," said Jimmy Vaccaro, vice
president of sports marketing at the South Point hotel. "Everything
feeds into this. It's the best versus the worst."
The game is so lopsided that most sports books aren't even putting up
money lines on the game, where a bettor can simply pick a team to win
or lose. Instead, oddsmakers tried to find a number that would somehow
entice betting on the Jaguars even if they are given almost no chance
of winning the game outright.
That line turned out to be 28 points, meaning bettors who think Manning
and the Broncos won't let off the gas at home against Jacksonville have
to give up that many points to get a bet on Denver. Those who like
Jacksonville, on the other hand, will start with a four-touchdown edge
on their bets.
"You might want to get out the Farmer's Almanac and hope they have 14
feet of snow Saturday night in Denver if you're taking the 28," Vaccaro
said. "But it's still the NFL, where anything can happen."
Denver bettors found that out Sunday when the Broncos — who were
heavily bet as 7½-point favorites in Dallas — failed to cover the
spread for the first time this season. Before that, bettors were
cashing in tickets by the handful on the Broncos and on the total score
going over what oddsmakers thought it would be.
"Dallas was America's Team but it's definitely Denver now," Vaccaro
said. "It's all because of Manning, too. He's revitalized the whole
franchise and made them the Super Bowl favorite."
Kornegay said the city's sports books have had a good year so far
taking money on the NFL, though the tremendous popularity of the
Broncos has cost them some money. He said it was reminiscent of the
2007 season, when bettors kept putting money on the Patriots until
oddsmakers got wise and raised the lines so much it was tough for even
a dominant team to cover the spread.
RJ Bell, who runs a website that analyzes betting and betting patterns,
said casual bettors will continue to back the Broncos no matter what,
while the professionals are more about where the numbers actually end
"If you say this line is 28 or even 32 points the average bettor just
shrugs and figures Peyton Manning will score no matter what," he said.
For those who do like the Jaguars, there is recent historical
precedence for betting them. In the 2007 game where New England was
favored by 24 over Philadelphia, the Patriots didn't come close to
covering the spread in a 31-28 win.

Did a market miscalculation result in the Red Sox signing John Lackey at the expense of a chance to get Cliff Lee? In terms of both the 2010 season and the future, the possibility exists.
After the 2009 season, the Sox identified three elite pitchers who would reach free agency in a two-year window: Lackey (last offseason), Josh Beckett (who was eligible for free agency after 2010) and Lee. The team signed Lackey to a five-year, $82.5 million deal, and inked Beckett to a four-year, $68 million extension that will run from 2011-14.
At the time of the Lackey signing, the team expected that Lee, the 2008 AL Cy Young winner who was dominant in the 2009 playoffs for the Phillies, would command a monster contract in free agency after the 2010 season. While the Sox committed significant resources to Lackey and Beckett, both pitchers almost certainly would come at a significantly lower price than Lee, assuming that the left-hander had the 2010 season that the Sox anticipated.
And so, while the Sox are expected to perform their typical due diligence in talking with Lee this offseason, the reality is that the team is all but certain to pass on the dominant force of the last two postseasons. The Sox have nearly $50 million in salary committed to six starters (Lackey, Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jon Lester, Tim Wakefield and Clay Buchholz) next year, and seem unlikely to get involved in a bidding war for a pitcher who will command a nine-figure contract.
One can certainly suggest that the Sox should have saved their bullets to make a run at Lee in free agency after this year, in hopes of channeling his Yankee-smothering prowess. Perhaps the Sox would have been positioned to take a run at Lee in free agency had they not committed to Lackey or Beckett.
More realistically, history (Mark Teixeira, A.J. Burnett, Carl Pavano, Jose Contreras, etc.) suggests that it is unlikely that the Sox would have outbid the Yankees for an elite free agent coveted by both clubs.
But what of the idea that the Sox could have pursued Lee or another ace-caliber pitcher in the trade market during this season?
Certainly, the Sox were not expecting that the Mariners – who acquired Lee as part of the three-way deal that sent Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays to the Phillies in December – might end up dealing the 2008 Cy Young Award winner. For that matter, the Sox thought it unlikely that much if any elite starting pitching would move prior to the trade deadline.
Last offseason, the Sox' decision to sign Lackey to a five-year contract was informed in part by an examination of the recent history of trade deadline deals. The team found plenty of examples from recent years of in-season swaps involving elite hitters.
In 2006, Bobby Abreu and Carlos Lee were impact hitters who were dealt. In 2007, Mark Teixeira had moved at the deadline. Teixeira, Jason Bay, Manny Ramirez and Adam Dunn had all moved in 2008. Victor Martinez and Matt Holliday changed teams in 2009. Typically, at least one to two All-Star-caliber hitters were dealt at each year's deadline.
There were few starters of comparable impact who had moved in-season. In 2006, the top starters to move were Greg Maddux (by that point, a five-inning pitcher) and wild card Oliver Perez. In 2007, Kyle Lohse was the top starter to move mid-year. In 2008, CC Sabathia had commanded a wealth of prospects in moving from Cleveland to Milwaukee. In 2009, Lee had gone from Cleveland to Philadelphia for a rich prospect haul, while an injured Jake Peavy was traded by the rebuilding Padres to a White Sox club that didn't expect the former Cy Young winner to contribute until 2010.
Over a four-year period, then, two top-of-the-rotation pitchers had been acquired for the stretch run. In the same span, nine legitimate middle-of-the-order hitters had moved. And so, the Sox – after failing to find common ground with free agents Bay and Holliday – felt that they would be well served to plow their resources into Lackey, with the notion that they could always upgrade their lineup mid-year.
"Generally speaking, it's easier to add a bat than a pitcher during the season," Sox GM Theo Epstein said at the press conference introducing Lackey. "So, I think our pitching staff is going to be extraordinarily deep. If we do go into the season with a mix similar to what we have right now, and a need for a bigger bat somewhere in the lineup does develop, I think that can probably be addressed during the season."
But this year's deadline didn't play out that way. To the contrary, the headline position players to move were complementary types such as Jorge Cantu and Lance Berkman. Meanwhile, a rare wealth of talented pitchers changed teams.
Most notably, three recent Cy Young contenders – Dan Haren (Diamondbacks to Angels), Roy Oswalt (Astros to Phillies) and Lee (Mariners to Rangers) – changed clubs. But with Lackey in the fold, the Sox were never in the mix for any of those three pitchers.
Each of the three aces who moved excelled with their new clubs. Haren, after going 7-8 with a 4.60 ERA for the Diamondbacks, was 5-4 with a 2.87 ERA for the Halos, who have him under contract for two more years with a team option for 2013.
But even had the Sox been in the market for a dominant starter, Haren might not have been a consideration given that, at the time of the deal, he was struggling, with opponents clubbing him for 1.8 homers per nine innings over a 13-start span.
Similarly, Oswalt was showing what one talent evaluator considered clearly diminished stuff this year prior to the deadline. Despite a solid 3.42 ERA for the Astros, the 32-year-old hadn't shown the same dominant weapons that had characterized most of his career in Houston.
But, after joining a contender in Philadelphia, Oswalt appeared rejuvenated. He went 7-1 with a 1.74 ERA down the stretch. And so, the Phillies – who also received $11 million from the Astros to subsidize the remainder of the right-hander's contract, which runs through 2011 – are currently thrilled with their return.
The Sox might well have had the prospects needed to acquire Oswalt. After all, the return offered by Philadelphia – left-hander J.A. Happ, minor league center fielder Anthony Gose and minor league shortstop Jonathan Villar – was viewed as relatively modest, with none of the three (or even Brett Wallace, whom the Astros acquired from the Blue Jays in exchange for Gose) considered an elite prospect. A package, for instance, of left-hander Felix Doubront, center fielder Reymond Fuentes and middle infielder Oscar Tejeda would have been, at the least, competitive with the Phillies offer.
Still, even without Lackey in their rotation, concerns about Oswalt being near a decline phase might have deterred the Sox from pursuing the right-hander.
Lee would have been another story. The Sox, after all, tried to work out a deal with the Indians in 2009 that included both Lee and Victor Martinez.
Traded from the Phillies to Seattle in the offseason, the left-hander had been dominant with the Mariners, going 8-3 with a 2.34 ERA in 13 starts, but Seattle's stunningly awful performance made him expendable. He was nearly dealt to the Yankees, with multiple reports claiming that the hired gun would head to New York in a package headlined by slugging prospect Jesus Montero.
Had that deal happened, the October landscape might have looked very different. A Yankees rotation that is currently a vulnerability would have instead represented an ominous specter for any team that had to face the 1-2 punch of Sabathia and Lee.
(Random bit of revisionist history: How lucky were the Red Sox that the Indians team that took them to the limit in the 2007 ALCS only had Sabathia and did not feature Lee? The left-hander was shipped to the minors that year. If he had been even a fraction of his 2008-10 self as a member of the Cleveland rotation, the Sox would have been hard pressed to claim their second World Series in four years.)
Instead, the Yankees deal unraveled, and the Rangers swooped in to acquire Lee (along with injured reliever Mark Lowe) for power-hitting prospect Justin Smoak, a pair of minor league pitchers (the controversial Josh Lueke and former first-rounder Blake Beavan) and minor league second baseman Matt Lawson.
Though Lee's 4-6 record and 3.98 ERA (inflated by a rough five-start stretch in which he was dealing with a back injury) seemed relatively pedestrian with the Rangers during the regular season. But, he showed glimpses of dominance in September, and he has been nothing short of historically good in the postseason.
With Monday's masterpiece, he is now 3-0 with a 0.75 ERA, and he is the first pitcher ever to produce three straight outings with 10 or more strikeouts in the playoffs.
And so, it seems fair to ask: Are the Red Sox watching Lee dominate the Yankees and, with hindsight, ruing what could have been but for the decision to sign Lackey?
Probably not. Certainly, the Sox had no expectation that Lee might be available in a trade when they signed Lackey. No one could have anticipated that the Mariners – viewed as a contender, if not the favorite, in the AL West entering the year – would end up dealing Lee just a few months into his Seattle tenure.
Even had the Sox been interested in acquiring Lee, it is an open question whether Boston could have acquired him. The Mariners wanted to acquire a near big league-ready slugger who ranked among the top hitting prospects in the game, whether Smoak or Montero.
Though the Sox might have been able to present an attractive package along the lines of the 4-for-1 deal that Seattle swung – say, either Lars Anderson or Anthony Rizzo, along with Doubront, Stolmy Pimentel and Tejeda – they would not have had a slugger in the Smoak or Montero class to offer the Mariners. Nor would the Sox have necessarily been willing to offer such a steep price for a rental player who was destined for free agency following the 2010 season.
In sum, one could state accurately that the Sox misread the 2010 in-season trade market at the time that they signed Lackey to a five-year deal. But it would be difficult to suggest that last winter's strategy cost them a shot at Lee.
During the season, there is a decent likelihood that a match would not have existed with the Mariners on a Lee deal. After the 2010 season, even without Lackey under contact, the reality is that the Sox would have been extremely unlikely to outbid the Yankees (or Rangers) for the left-hander's services.
That being the case, Sox fans will simply have to take solace in the opportunity to root for Lee in his role as a postseason Yankee slayer this year.
As for Lackey (14-11, 4.40 in his first year with the Sox) and Beckett (6-6, 5.78), the Sox believed in the ability of both to serve as top-of-the-rotation presences when they signed them to their deals. And with four years remaining on both players' contracts, the Sox suggest confidence in the idea that both pitchers will bounce back.
"[Lackey is] a horse who takes the ball and gives you innings and gives you quality innings," said GM Theo Epstein the day after the season, noting that the right-hander's performance after the All-Star break (3.97 ERA, 7.8 strikeouts per nine innings, 2.3 walks per nine) was in line with his career norms. "Certainly pitched in the second half the way we expect and look forward to that carrying over to next year.
"[Beckett is] really not avoiding responsibility right now for the year, even though there was an injury that played a critical role in the underperformance. He's taken responsibility for it. He's not dodging the questions. He's going to fix it this winter," added Epstein. "The past is usually a good predictor of the future. Last time he had an off-year [in 2006], he really bounced back. That's what we're looking for again."
If that pair bounces back, then the Sox will have little reason to play the what-if game, particularly given that they will have their full complement of prospects. But for now, coming off a year when those two right-handers struggled, it is hard for the Sox – and, for that matter, 28 other teams – not to look upon a Rangers team that features Lee with a mixture of awe and envy, regardless of whether it was ever realistic for them to acquire the left-hander.

Taking the Initiative

I wrote 560 words about the ballot measures voters faced this year, but I can summarize in just one: Huh?
If you need a slightly longer synopsis, here it is:
-Voters in conservative Utah rejected school vouchers, a favorite idea of conservatives.
-Voters in socially progressive New Jersey decided they didn't want to spend $450 million on stem cell research, a favorite cause of social progressives.
-Voters in typically tight-fisted Texas approved a series of bond measures to the tune of $10 billion.
-Voters in left-leaning Washington state approved an anti-tax advocate's initiative to make it harder for the state to increase taxes and fees
Counterintuitive as they might seem, these results don't necessarily deserve the "huh" I just gave them. If you follow ballot measures, you know that the outcomes often run against the liberal or conservative labels ascribed to states. As one example, that anti-tax advocate in Washington, Tim Eyman, has frequently persuaded voters to support his initiatives.
Part of the reason is that the fifty states are divided more by partisanship than by ideology (and even the extent to which they're divided by partisanship is often overestimated). Even in the most Democratic states, voters would usually rather have lower taxes. Even in the most conservative states, voters are sympathetic to public education (see Utah and Texas last night).
The other part of the reason is that voters' views on ballot measures are especially malleable. There are no well-known incumbents. Often, the public is asked to vote on something they never have before, which inherently leads to unpredictability. That's what makes ballot measure politics so much fun.
