Functional Adaptations
Functional adaptation
Plants in calcareous peatlands photosynthesize in low CO2 levels by taking up bicarbonate and converting it to CO2.
"Some plant species live entirely submerged. The leaves are often very thin, with a large surface area, and lack stomata. Some of these plants are rooted in the bottom, but others have no roots at all (for instance Utricularia spp.). Waters around these plants can be still, slowly moving, or rapidly mixing as in case of rivers and lakes with peatland margins. Such plants take up carbon dioxide (C02) and nutrients directly into the leaves from the water, just in the way that bryophytes do. Carbon dioxide is rarely limiting, but in waters with very high pH (as in calcareous fens) the availability of C02 is much reduced, and some plants have the ability to take up bicarbonate (HC03 -), which is then converted to C02 in the cell and used in photosynthesis. Examples are the stoneworts (Characeae), which are characteristic species in calcareous waters, and several species of Myriophyllum and Ceratophyllum (Hutchinson 1975). Given that there are enough plants, they can produce the oxygen required for respiration themselves." (Rydin and Jeglum 2006:46-47)

Barcode data
Myriophyllum (watermilfoil) is a genus of about 69 species of freshwater aquatic plants, with a cosmopolitan distribution. The center of diversity for Myriophyllum is Australia with 43 recognized species (37 endemic).[1][2] Its name comes from Latin, "myrio" meaning "too many to count", and "phyllum", meaning "leaf".
These submersed aquatic plants are perhaps most commonly recognized for having elongate stems with air canals and whorled leaves that are finely, pinnately divided, but there are many exceptions. For example, the North American species M. tenellum has alternately arranged scale like leaves, while many Australian species have small alternate or opposite leaves that lack dissection. The plants are usually heterophyllous, leaves above the water are often stiffer and smaller than the submerged leaves on the same plant and can lack dissection. Plants are monoecious or dioecious, the flowers are small, 4(2)-parted and usually borne in emergent leaf axils. The 'female' flowers usually lack petals. The fruit is a schizocarp that splits into four (two) nutlets at maturity.[3][4]
The fruits and leaves can be an important food source for waterfowl, which are thought to be an important source of seed and clonal dispersal.
Invasion and control[edit]
Three species (M. aquaticum, M. heterophyllum and M. spicatum) have aggressively invaded lakes, natural waterways and irrigation canals in North America. The U.S. states most affected have implemented control plans.
The Tennessee Valley Authority detected milfoil in its waters in the 1960s.[5] It discounted milfoil's value as a food or feedstock and fought it with chemicals and lowering of water levels. It suggested that water lilies (Nelumbo lutea) might deny it sunlight.
The widespread invasive Eurasian watermilfoil (M. spicatum) is often controlled with herbicide containing diquat dibromide. Control can also be done through careful mechanical management, such as with "lake mowers,"[6] but this is a fragmenting plant and the fragments may grow back.
Mechanical management can include the use of a long-reach lake rake or aquatic weed razor blade tool. Using these tools is similar to lawn work. These tools are most effective before seeds set. Infestations can be prevented through the use of a Weed Roller or a LakeMaid. These are automated and unattended machines. Permits may be required by various states. A guide to state permits and aquatic vegetation management is at http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/
In 2007, Professor Sallie Sheldon of Middlebury College reported that an aquatic weevil (Euhrychiopsis lecontei), which eats nothing but milfoil, was an effective weapon against it.[1]
Since roughly 2000, invasive milfoils have been managed by hand-harvesting. Several organizations in the New England states have undertaken successful lake-wide hand-harvesting management programs. Periodic maintenance is necessary; the species cannot be completely eradicated once established, but it can be reduced to manageable levels. Well-trained divers with proper techniques have effectively controlled milfoil and maintained lakes, such as in the Adirondack Park in Northern New York where chemicals, mechanical harvesters, and other management techniques are banned as disruptive. The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) of Paul Smiths College touts the effectiveness of hand-harvesting.

Steven Altman lived in Montgomery County, but he was at home in the air, taking sick kids in his private plane to hospitals for free and journeying with his family to summer destinations.
And it was in the air Saturday, flying over the Hudson River with a view of the New York City skyline, that Steven, 60, his brother, Daniel, 49, and Daniel's 16-year-old son, Douglas, took their last journey together.
Altman's aircraft, a Piper PA-32, collided with a sightseeing helicopter about noon in the crowded airspace over the Hudson.

Two identical iron spheres have equal positive charges and theforce b/w then when they are 1 m apart is 1 N. What %age ofthe electrons has been removed from each sphere if each sphere has1 mole (6*10^23) of ion atoms? (ke= 8.99*10^9), the atomicnumber of iron is 26, and the electron charge is (1.6*10^-19C)
The answer is 4*10^-10%....I just dont know how to come upwith that answer. Thank you in adavance!!

I'm the opposite to you apparently - Oslo is laid back and decadently expensive, although I am bohemianly poor and hopefully I'll be out here 12 months+ working...thanks for asking!
I think I touched a nerve there LOL - are you getting paid by the word!!
I hear what you're saying about the casual / non / hardcore gamers and to a large percentage overall I totally agree with you. I, like all here, would dearly love to see the Wii go from strength to strength and innovate and sell like hot snot ( ) and no doubt it will - but the biggest issue I have with...
I also have Redsteel, COD3, Rayman, Kororinpa, NfS Carbon and Zelda and no body I have shown / converted to Wii has been really arsed for any of them and sports get shot back on and the fun resumes. Now I do think that all of the above (apart from NfS) is a worthy launch window title - and I'm really only a casual gamer on the whole myself.but any issues of responsiveness tend to be something of an accepted thing with both casuals and non gamers simply through to the fact Wii's continuing to sell out
I agree with you re. responsiveness not really impacting on the non/casual gamer market but word of mouth from reviewers can impact on titles selling - I thought Redsteel & COD3 are cracking games but you would expect any issues to be ironed out in subsequent similar games like MOH Vanguard or Godfather - I have noticed on Gamespot that the Godfather review mentions fairly prominently, that the controls were not as responsive as maybe they could / should be [of course I know that this is a convenient example - I'm just trying to highlight my point] - if these games are to be entry level games for casual gamers getting back into full on gaming then would it not possibly have some bearing on purchases?
I think all said and done - Wii will shine as bright as any technological innovation this century at least ( ) and I hope that Nintendo progress along with the 3rd parties to keep a Wiisports type fun factor running along as far as possible..
I will raise my £7 bier and toast...maybe not I may spill 2.50's worth...

Million Dollar Bionic Man Goes On Display
Category: Technology
/ Feb 06, 2013 8:56AM EDT
Robotics experts have built a million-dollar bionic man, complete with artificial organs, synthetic blood and robot limbs. London's Science Museum will display the artificial man, costing almost 640,000 pounds (GBP) (1 million USD approx.), to the public on Thursday (February 7). The 6ft 6in bionic man was built by a team of leading robotics for a documentary. Swiss social psychologist Bertolt Meyer who was at London's Science Museum on Tuesday will feature in the documentary: "One of my personal favorites is the artificial blood that runs through these tubing's, because this is made of Nano-particles that are able to bind oxygen and give them off, just like real blood can do, but this isn't real blood, this is Nano-particles. I thought that was absolutely science fiction, so I felt that was very, very impressive. Also the fact that they are very close to an implantable artificial kidney that will actually be able to replace a failing kidney without the necessity of a kidney transplant. So think of the great benefits technology like that would bring. I knew fairly much about prosthetic limbs apparently, but what we are close to accomplishing in terms of artificial organs - I find that absolutely mind boggling." The bionic man incorporates some the latest advances in prosthetic technology, including an artificial pancreas, and a functional blood circulatory system. The project is supported by a Welcome Trust People Award which aims to help the public explore biomedical science

FF15 - this generation or the next?

- FF15 - this generation or the next?
LonelyPrince 7 years ago#1
What does everyone think - will FF15 be released on current gen systems or next gen systems? I personally believe that there's almost no way FF15 will come out for the 360 or PS3. I know on the PS2, there were three FF games (X, XI, and XII), but the development of newer final fantasies is going to be considerably longer than the development of those titles as the current gen-consoles (let alone next-gen consoles) demand more detail be put into every element of a game due to the clarity of HD and the consoles' relatively tremendous processing power that is just begging to be taken advantage of. After all, FFXIII took about six years to develop. That's insane. Development of FFXIII began three years before FFXII came out, meaning that, in all likelihood, FF15 is being developed at the moment. I wonder when we'll play it. 7 years?
zanaffar360 7 years ago#2
They've got the game engine done for this gen so if they want FF 15 for this gen, it might happen as they will be able to develop FF 15 much quicker.
3 FF games for each gen might work in this gen as well since versus is on the way and if FF 15 comes out at the end of this gen.
who knows?
FF15 will come to the DS and Wii. Period.
Think of Dragon Quest IX and X.
PS1 has VII VIII and IX.
Square-Enix didnt take the time and money to develop a game engine only for 1 game imo.

But that doesn't mean the engine will only be used only for final fantasy. I can't count the number of games that take use of the unreal engine. Now I don't count 14 in the count due to how different they are. I count a core final fantasy game as one where its apart of the numbered system and its not an mmo. I think they should be able to push out another game before this generation is over. They did it with X and Xll.

There's always three FF games per generation so yes, FF15 will be on PS3. Not sure about Xbox360 though - will depend entirely on sales of this game.
I doubt FF15 will be on the 360.
Let's be completely honest here, although I'm not bothered that the 360 kinda hindered the graphics and space of FF13.... Square are going to want to go to the next level with FF15 and better themselves from FF13.
FF13 already took the 360 to it's very limits, whilst the PS3 still has (apparently) 2 out of the 5 cells unused, as FF13 only used 3 of those cells. Square said this themselves, FF13 is no where near the full capacity that the PS3 can handle.
The PS3 would be able to handle the graphics and amount of stuff they dream of putting on FF15, but the 360 won't be able to. So, either MS make a new version of the 360, with Blu-ray... or its PS3 exclusive.

So far there have been 3 main series FF games every generation. So I'd say it's possible. Especially if this gen goes on for another 3 years like most are predicting.

Erie woman charged with arson in apartment fire
An Erie woman is accused of intentionally starting the fire that seriously injured another woman and damaged a westside apartment building Friday.
Police said Alexandra C. Williams, 25, set the fire in her apartment at 453 W. Sixth St. after an argument with her roommate, and then left the building. The fire quickly spread from the first-floor apartment to other parts of the building, including an occupied apartment upstairs, investigators said.
A woman injured in the fire remained in critical condition Monday at UPMC Mercy Burn Center in Pittsburgh, police said. Two firefighters and two police officers were treated for smoke inhalation at UPMC Hamot after rescuing eight adults and a toddler from the burning building. They were not seriously hurt.
Williams and her roommate had argued, and the roommate ran upstairs to get away from Williams and called the police, according to the affidavit of probable cause in the case. Officers responding to the call shortly before 4 a.m. found heavy smoke and fire inside the apartment house entrance and alerted the fire department.
Firefighters used a ladder to rescue occupants who took refuge on a roof of the building, Erie Fire Chief Tony Pol said Friday. Other occupants were rescued from inside the building.
The burn victim was flown to Pittsburgh by medical helicopter.
The two-story building has six apartments. The first- and second-floor units were damaged by the fire. Others were damaged by smoke, Erie Chief Fire Inspector Guy Santone said Friday.
Williams was taken into custody by police Monday afternoon and was arraigned Monday evening before Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack on charges of arson endangering persons, arson endangering property, risking catastrophe and 15 counts of recklessly endangering another person.
She is in the Erie County Prison on $50,000 cash bond.

We gave the sporty rugby stripe a sparkly twist, thanks to shimmering sequins. This relaxed racerback style looks great tucked into jeans or a pencil skirt, depending on the occasion.
Size & Fit Details
Collection rugby-stripe sequin tank top
Rated 1.5 out of 5Â by 4 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by sariego Not as expected I thought this was going to be super cute but it was not. I did not think it ran small but rather more of a true small. I am small chested and petite. I did not like that the sequins were not evenly applied and you could see gaps in them all over the top. I also did not like that it was so long because being petite it was just not flattering. I will be returning it. June 28, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Lisa Return It looks really cute on line. Looked cute in the baggie out of the box. That was it. Fits very odd. Too wide if your skinny-tight on top with weird arm holes. Also, very cheaply made. There were sequins already off in the bag. Once again jcrew fail. June 25, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by FabnFifty Only Cute online Runs super narrow. Sequins are odd color. I loved the idea of this top having sequins all around instead of just on the front. Total disappointment. Need plan B for July 4 celebration. June 25, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Jazzy Disappointed with the cut Love the style- the rugby stripes and sequins are just my thing. However when I wore it it was far too long. Because I am pear shaped that was really unflattering so I kind of ruched it up blouson-style and wore it with black shorts for a casual night out. Because of international shipping costs and duties it rarely makes sense for me to return an item, but would definitely have returned this if I could. I will try shortening it at the tailor.

FOX (Mondays, 9 p.m. ET)
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." That line from an '80s shampoo commercial kept coming back to me as I watched the first two episodes (Oct.21 and 28) of the latest lawyer show from creator David E.Kelley (Ally McBeal, The Practice). I shouldn't resent Lynne (Gretchen Mol), Sarah (Chyler Leigh) and Jeannie (Kathleen Robertson) for being highly attractive women in their 20s who share a cool San Francisco loft. These Stanford Law School mates are now associates in a high-powered firm where men dominate and the pressure is intense. I know it's tough.
Still, something about this slick, verbally proficient drama strikes me as false. Maybe it's those typically outlandish Kelley plot lines: the woman suing her doctor for "gynecological battery"—which propriety forbids me to explain here—or the alleged killer whose sexual obsession with counselor Lynne takes him to the end of his tether. Or maybe it's the exaggerated haughtiness of senior partners Nicholas (Giancarlo Esposito) and Meredith (Lisa Banes). I know I wasn't buying that part in the second episode where a sleepless Lynne phones a guy at 2:01 a.m. and says simply, "I need it," prompting him to run right over and service her. If she weren't blessed with beauty, she might have to ask him nicely.
girls club has its strong points, particularly Stacy Keach's juicy guest-star turn as a disgraced ex-congressman in episode 2. But a lot of this material doesn't seem to have come from Kelley's top drawer.
Bottom Line: Surprisingly unconvincing case

After 3 days on board people started becoming ill, with GI, which is known better as a gastric illness, this eventually become a major problem on the a ship. Self service in the dining areas was stopped and serving by the staff ensued. We both had a touch of the bug but fortunately being younger coped better than most. A frenzy of cleaning by the staff took place and indeed on one morning whilst observing from a good view point of the pool area saw one section of wooden plinth cleaned by different staff over 14 times in 2 hours, unfortunately during that time no one decided to clean the adjacent handrail on the steps leading up to the floor above. Therefore we were not surprised to see the infections on board rise. I think poor supervision of the staff may hold the clue to the illness not being contained.
On a better note the Capitals visited were very interesting and good access to and from them by way of a shuttle (cost for this varied). The trips were quite expensive on this ship. Overall we felt that the company was trying it's best to get as much money from the passengers as possible throughout the cruise, most talks and lectures were only geared to obtaining money for the services talked about. We were not allowed to buy or take on board any alcohol, except what was sold on the ship, which was only delivered when the cruise was over. All drinks on board were far too expensive and the cost of the wine at meal times extortionate. Only entertainment of good value was the theatre each evening. Having dressed up for the formal evenings there was nothing much to do after the meal. Overall very disappointing. Disembarkation was excellent and very efficient

A New London jury awarded more than $3.8 million Wednesday in a wrongful death lawsuit brought against an Oakdale truck driver and United Parcel Service stemming from a Nov. 23, 2010, crash that resulted in the death of George Upton.
The jury found that UPS driver Joseph Socha had acted recklessly and negligently, awarding Upton's estate $508,132 in economic damages, which included future lost wages, $1.5 million in non-economic damages, and $1.875 million to Upton's widow, Julie, for loss of consortium.
The trial started Jan. 24 before Judge Susan A. Peck in New London Superior Court. The six-member jury's deliberations had started last week but were interrupted by the blizzard.
According to testimony, Upton, 54, of Jewett City was driving to work on Interstate 395 South when his pickup truck was rear-ended by a UPS van driven by Socha.
New Britain attorney Kevin C. Ferry, with assistance from attorney Stephen M. Reck of North Stonington, represented Upton's survivors. Ferry said that Upton, also a truck driver, was on his way to work at Trimac Transportation in Bozrah about 3 a.m. and was driving between 47 and 52 mph on the straight downhill stretch of roadway prior to Exit 82 when he was killed.
Socha, who had picked up a load of packages in Chelmsford, Mass., was driving 66 or 67 mph in the right-hand lane when his van struck Upton's truck from behind, sending it over the right-hand guardrail and into the woods, according to testimony. Upton was ejected from the truck, which landed 25 feet down an embankment. He suffered blunt traumatic injuries and was declared dead at the scene.
According to Ferry, Upton was a safe driver who often "preached" to his family to give trucks plenty of room on the road because it takes them a long time to stop. Socha failed to keep a lookout and was driving too fast to stop in time to avoid the collision, he said.
"UPS never accepted responsibility here, that's the key, and spent $80,000 on an expert to say George Upton was at fault," Ferry said over the phone Thursday.
He said Upton was a "great family man who provided for his family," and that after his death his wife lost their home and had to move into an apartment.
Representing UPS and Socha, attorney James Gordon of Columbus, Ohio, had told the jury the accident "would not have happened except for the fact that Joe Socha was cut off." He said Socha, a 30-year employee of UPS, had done nothing to cause the accident and that he wasn't able to stop the truck after Upton suddenly drove into the lane

Yahoo Finance Board Participants,
Important Notice: I will not be responding or maintaining a presence with this thread.
I am currently reviewing post history to collect potential accounts of libel, defamation, and calumny. If you have threads or interactions that align with this nature, I request that you contact me in order to ensure all potential instances are recorded. Examples include:
i) Libelous statements made within the Yahoo Finance Message Board that have damaging impact on products, a company, or shareholder value.
ii) Libelous statements that resulted in realized and inferable financial losses and/or burden.
iii) Libelous statements that appear within popular search engine results through Google or Bing, thus resulting in pervasive damage.
Any examples that fit this criteria can be sent to email@example.com. It is imperative that examples are sent through your corresponding Yahoo ID so forthright correspondences are properly recognized.
Ahhh my bad. I thought you were at some point. Anyway, it's late. Goodnight all.
For the last time, Im not short. But trust me, I could find a lead plantiff if I wanted. I have no desire, or ability to sue him bc I wasnt stupid enough to invest based off his posts and lose money. I'd rather feed his BS to the SEC directly and let them deal with him. I'm pretty sure someone over there has been following his posts. Along with Theo's and Sierra's.
Fun fact - you can't get away with completely making up false statements about a company just by putting a disclaimer on your post.
Ok ok ok. But here's your real problem. Since you're short and didn't incur damages, guess what... You can't be a plaintiff, nor can you file suit on behalf of others. Your real problem is trying to find that lead plaintiff. If you don't have one... Well you know the story.
Yep, too funny!
Man, I can't sleep and I have Pippy to blame for it! I am dying here chuckling as I listen to Pippy's defense over and over in my head...
"Your honor, presiding jury, let me remind you that this Plaintiff woefully and willfully violated the Terms of Service that Yahoo has set forth in the collection of this evidence presented before you. That alone should invalidate this suit. While it is very true that I made those statements and did so of my own free accord, it is also true that he collected them from message board members instead of looking them up for himself! Not only is this shameful and lazy, but Yahoo rules state that this is not appropriate. Therefore I move that this suit be dismissed because Yahoo says so.... in their TOS!"
Lol, sorry had to. Of course the above is merely fictional in my own melon as I try to understand how and where this MAJOR infraction would actually be prevalent over laws preventing damaging statements either verbal or written. So the above is my opinion of how the defense would present this. Personally, I'd work on a better one. hahaha
It's actually quite hilarious that anyone believes a TOS invalidates governing law or in any way would be a subject of this potential suit. Wow, to believe it has any weight or bearing is too funny for words.
Anyone would be an idiot to send you their e-mail address!!!
Might want to include JJP in the lawsuit you're looking at since he cost people more money than anyone else.
Oh an by the way, you cant sue someone for an opinion. Funny though.
Actually, anyone can file suit for a variety of reasons. Held liable is a question for the presiding judge or jury, depending on the state laws surrounding the designation of either or request of the respondent to the suit. Would this person have the legal right to file suit based on the content of the posts that many of you have made? Possible and very probable. You should all conduct yourself as if it is truly likely.
Now, if you didn't prelude inflammatory statements with, "it's your opinion," or if it is not easily prevalent in the content of your statement, then it would seem that your disparaging remarks could be grounds for a suit. Lexi would certainly be more knowledgeable in these matters than many of us. Maybe you should ask him?
What I find quit interesting though, is regardless of the validity of the grounds of the case, should a suit be filed, it would be mostly at the liberty of the lead plaintiff to make his case in whichever location he finds most damages could have occurred. That means, that if he files his case somewhere outside of your location, guess what... You have to respond in some way to that petition in that location, meaning travel costs and arrangements or representation in that location. Quite the quandary for some of us that aren't quite as wealthy as we are trying to make out to be. Should be interesting to see what turns out of this. If anything, it would be quite a hassle to those identified.
<<if he was a real lawyer or entity he would of known the TOS of yahoo and not broke two of them right off the bat.>>
Let me repeat: Invoking the TOS of Yahoo does not trump a libel charge governed by the laws of the land! It's that simple.
Also, giving examples of other posts that are liable does not exempt you from your infraction of the law. Do you believe that, if you run a red light, you are exempt from that infraction because you can give examples of others who did just that and got away with it?
For examples of legal speech/publications check the dialogue between the two current Presidential camps

I'm sure Dr. Hisey is a fine doctor, but I haven't spent enough time with him to know for sure. The problem? His staff is VERY unresponsive/slow in handling everything from getting prescriptions sent to the pharmacy to handling any type of precertification. I have been waiting to have a lab test for nearly a month because someone in his office "hasn't had a chance to call yet." The only reason I have put up with this is because I get minimal relief from PT. It doesn't really matter whether they're overworked, clueless, or just don't care -- the result is the same. I'm planning to take my care elsewhere.
Hisey told me I needed surgery and so I was able to walk before surgery,but with pain. When surgery was over I was in more pain then I had ever had and spent a week in the hospital and Hisey never once came to see me. I left the hospital in a wheelchair. Did Hisy screw up You bet he did what they called it was a complication of surgery. His staff could care less about patients and Hisey lets his staff do whatever they want. Hisey said this had never happened to him before as far as making me an invalid for the rest of my life. Run Away He is a joke probably on something
A rare person Dr Hisey is an excellent Dr. and person He listens and tells you what he thinks - - Many if not most Drs. today do not do this - - I know because I have been to many over the last 10 yrs.
I came to see Dr. Hisey after 2 years of various treatment for neck, arm pain with loss of function. I had surgery 5 days ago. Dr. Hisey kept me informed before surgery through his excellent Administrative Assistant, Amy. He was there immediately before surgery to answer any questions and check on me. After surgery, my pain was controlled and I was taken care of at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound by Laura RN and Stephanie RN. I was able to go home right on time. I know already that my surgery is a success thanks to Dr. Hisey,surgeon, Dr. Clifford, anesthesiologist and Texas Health Flower Mound.
Dr Hisey treated my teenage daughter. She had surgery to repair 3 fractures and he had a great manner with her. He was informative and made us feel at ease.. Love him
Dr. Hisey did a fantatstic job on my back. He was recommended to me by a friend. I was sidelined from my job and family for quite some time. Dr. Hisey had me back on my feet again and now I am pain free.
I have seen Dr. Hisey for approximately 8 years. I chose him because he had treated my mother very successfully for compression vertebral fractures. He is personable and competent. Part of the reason why there may be a wait from appointment to being seen is that he spends quality time explaining the diagnosis & treatment, answering questions readily. Denton is fortunate to have Dr. Hisey coming to the Texas Back Institute here.
I wish I had never let him do surgery on me!

Fall closings balanced by splashy spring openings
It's a bloodbath on Broadway these days. Or is it?
Every year around this time, a wave of media outlets checks in with the Main Stem to discover that several shows won't make it past year's end. This year the number of closings approaches 20 — which reps half of a market that's limited to the 40 venues that qualify as Broadway.
A spate of recent closings — including the truncated runs of plays "Elling" and "A Life in the Theater" and the B.O. sputtering of ambitious tuners "The Scottsboro Boys" and "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" — adds fuel to the end-of-days pronouncements.
There's no question that a number of the fall's productions have had a rough go of it. But a number of factors, including an abundance of incoming fare, provide some balance to the doom and gloom.
n January is a traditional turnover period for Broadway, so a rash of closings shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Shows at the end of their life-spans tend to try to hold out through the boffo holiday weeks before throwing in the towel ahead of the annual January sales slump. Productions from prior seasons hoping to take advantage of one final B.O. spike — such as the year-old "Fela!" and the 2-year-old "West Side Story," both closing next month — also join the pack of productions on their way out.
n Of the productions that will have closed by the end of this year, a number are limited-run plays that had been skedded to shutter all along. Nonprofit productions such as "Brief Encounter," "The Pitmen Painters" and "A Free Man of Color" all close to make way for the next offering in a nonprofit troupe's season. Still, a few commercial limited runs of plays — including "Life in the Theater" and the short-lived "Elling" — are disappointments, since B.O. proved too grim for the shows to survive until their target end dates.
n The musicals that opened this fall were offbeat productions of the sort that usually have a tough time at the B.O. Commercial transfers for emo-rock historical comedy "Bloody Bloody" and minstrel-show retelling of racial injustice "Scottsboro" would have repped iffy propositions in any Broadway season, with neither a star nor a well-known title to help mitigate the risky style and subject matter. Critical support may have bolstered each show's imagined prospects, but aud response never matched that enthusiasm, and at this point in the season, a potential boost from Tony attention looks a long ways off.
n For nearly every show that's closing, another is on the way in the spring. Even if a number of individual productions didn't click, there's still opportunity for the season to yield its share of hits.
n Of the shows in the wings, there's a number of splashy big-name tuners — exactly the sort of fare that brings attention and coin to the Main Stem. "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark," "Priscilla Queen of the Desert," "Catch Me if You Can," "Wonderland" and "Sister Act" all benefit as adaptations of instantly recognizable properties. The revival of familiar title "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" gets a casting boost from Daniel Radcliffe, while "The Book of Mormon" has a notable hook as the latest work from the creators of "South Park."
n As for plays in spring, there's plenty of celeb casting to go around. Ben Stiller and Edie Falco in "The House of Blue Leaves," Kiefer Sutherland in "That Championship Season," Robin Williams in "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" and Chris Rock in "The Motherfucker With the Hat" all have the star-driven potential to catch fire at the B.O. during their limited runs.
n Audiences are ever-willing to turn out for shows they want to see: Broadway's aggregate attendance this season is up by 2% compared with last season at this time, with some 6.4 million theatergoers logged so far this year.
So while the fall has seen its share of notable disappointments, particularly in the brief lives of "Bloody Bloody" and "Scottsboro," a number of legiters argue that the overall 2010-11 season still holds a great deal of potential, with more big-title musicals due in the spring than were seen during all of last season.
There are risks, of course, for any show on the slate. Several in the industry, for instance, point out that both drag-queen roadtrip "Priscilla" and nothing's-sacred comedy "Mormon" might have issues finding support from the red-state tourists who help keep Broadway musicals afloat for years.
There's also the competition factor to worry about. A theatergoer looking for a razzle-dazzle tuner experience this spring will have to choose from a half-dozen new offerings (as well as long-runners such as "Wicked" and "The Lion King" that consistently draw huge crowds). Playgoers also will find themselves stuck deciding among the notable casts of the spring's nonmusical fare.
It's nearly impossible to avoid such occasional scheduling logjams, since so many of the variables involved in getting a production on the Main Stem, including theater and cast availability, are beyond the control of producers.
In any event, the preponderance of well-known titles and big-name stars looks to attract a healthy dose of attention to Broadway in the coming months. Already "Spider-Man" has found itself in an unusually bright media spotlight — and even if a lot of that coverage has dwelt on tech problems and actor injuries, it still managed to goose advance sales the day after the show's much-covered first preview.
With the Jan. 11 opening of "Spider-Man" repping just the start of spring fare, legiters are hoping Broadway will continue to serve as a hot topic until the season's finish at the end of April.
