Seven years after slots began spinning in Broward County, there's a plan in place to bring them to Dania Jai-Alai.
A combination of South American investors and local businessmen completed a $65.5 million purchase from Boyd Gaming Wednesday, and Dania Beach Mayor Walter Duke says their representatives have told him they're eager to begin converting the 60-year-old building into a racino similar to those already here in South Florida.
"We're very optimistic," Duke said. "Anything is better than what's there now."
Broward County voters approved slots in 2005. Boyd Gaming bought the fronton in 2006 for $152 million, about the time the three other racinos in Broward had the machines installed. But Boyd held off, citing the state's 50 percent slot tax (now lowered to 35 percent) and overwhelming competition from the nearby Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.
In 2011, Boyd announced a sale to Dania Entertainment Center LLC for $80 million, but the deal fell through. The four buyers were listed as Harris Friedman, Louis Birdman, Barton Seidler and Steven Levy.
Birdman, Seidler, Levy and others are listed as 25 percent owners now under Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC, according to a March organization chart submitted to the state. The other 75 percent are Argentine businessmen, who operate 27 casinos, under the name "Casino Club" in Argentina.
The fronton has continued offering jai-alai throughout the sale process, and also has a poker room. But public interest in jai-alai has waned, and the poker room's revenues, while increasing more than 50 percent so far this year when compared to 2012, still rank 22nd of the state's 23 horse tracks, dog tracks and jai-alai frontons. The company must run 150 jai-alai sessions a year to keep its slot license.
Longtime fronton general manager Dave Winslow said he has not been asked to stay and is working as a consultant in Las Vegas.
Duke noted that Boyd did not renovate the property while trying to sell it. But Birdman has met with the city a few times in recent weeks, Duke said, and indicated there are plans to move quickly and spend $60 million to $80 million in refurbishing and adding slots. Neither Birdman nor any of the South American businessmen were available to comment Wednesday.
But during its first attempt to purchase the fronton, Dania Entertainment released renderings that included restaurants, night clubs and a day club with pool and cabanas. The plans also included reducing fronton seating from 5,000 to 1,800 and using the court for live entertainment.
"The important thing is to move forward, clean the place up and that it becomes an active part of the community again," said Duke, who noted the fronton hosted his 1978 graduation from Hollywood Hills High School. "We think it will help provide jobs and increase tourism."
A lawsuit filed by Bill Scherer, of the law firm Conrad and Scherer, is suing Dania Beach over the project, objecting to the expediency with which Dania Beach officials approved the project. The suit is still pending, Duke said.
Boyd Gaming, which operates 22 casinos across the country, may still be a player in Florida. Last year, Florida Panthers CEO Michael Yormark announced a partnership with the company in an attempt to build a casino at the BB&T; Center in Sunrise. Casinos not affiliated with Indian tribes or pari-mutuels are not legal in Florida, but Las Vegas companies are working to bring destination-style casinos to the state.

CertificatesOne point to remember is that although registration started in 1827, it was voluntary for births and deaths until 1875, so the absence of a certificate is not unusual. For births it is also possible to give a child any name one likes. Our Martha Lydia used her own surname ie. her mother's maiden name, for her first child and that of her step father for the next two. However, She did marry using her own name and left the father's name blank, unlike another illegitimate relative who decided to invent a deceased father when he got married.
In the great English tradition of telling officials what one thinks they would like to hear, where there was a disparity in ages between the couple, or maybe one of them is a little too young for marriage without parental consent, then some age adjustment was perfectly acceptable. Whilst talking about ages, an age at death is that which the reporter of the death thinks it is, which need not necessarily be the chronological age.
CensusesA census provides an excellent opportunity for the head of a household to demonstrate their creativity. To come back to Martha Lydia, her stepfather came from a very religious family and it simply would not do for illegitimacy to be 'exposed' on a census return! This was resolved by giving the children the same surname as his, and describing them as "son" and "daughters". It was only after Joe died that Margaret recorded the true relationship.
Ages on censuses suffer from many variables, there are those whose increasing age is not related to the passage of time, and others where an accurate disclosure would reveal an illegal act. In particular, during the mid 1800s there were the Factory Acts which increased the minimum working age and restricted the hours of work. Naturally, the age of working juveniles had to comply with the law.
During the 19th century, divorce was the prerogative of the rich, bigamy was not uncommon, and clearly did not show on censuses. Even where there was no bigamous marriage partners would be recorded as a spouse, or maybe a 'housekeeper'. It was, of course, incumbent on all to maintain Victorian standards of morality.
Armed Forces RegistrationSurely the details given on registration for service in the armed forces will be accurate? Well, no, especially during the first world war. At this time there was much peer pressure to serve 'King and Country' and there are many recorded instances of people enlisting and inflating their age in order to be eligible to join up and serve overseas.
TranscriptionsEven excluding those so called genealogists whose aim to to prove that they are descended from royalty, rather than to establish the truth, personal family trees must be treated with extreme care. Genealogist may well publish trees in which they clearly state that a relationship is a probability rather than an established fact, but by the time it has been copied and recopied by those who exercise less care this probability has been transcribed into the definitive family history.
With respect to censuses the images which we see, prior to 1911, are transcriptions and are, therefore, subject to both enumerator's and transcriber's errors. Certificates are written by an official, who might be ecclesiastical or civil, and particularly during the period when illiteracy was high the spelling of names is likely to be phonetic.

In patch 3.3 Enchant Chest - Major Spirit is the best enchant for shadow priests, so it has to have same value as Enchant Chest - Powerful Stats (difference between those two is minimal).
Also Enchant Weapon - Black Magic is supposed to be a better enchant than Enchant Weapon - Mighty Spellpower, but that's in theory. In practice both of them probably have the same value, due to RNG, so for 1H weapon they must have the same value for shadow priests.

Earlier this month, Canal Fulton police officers helped arrest a Canton man charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated murder and they also arrested another Canton man wanted by Massillon Police for robbery.
Two Canal Fulton police officers, one of whom was hired just a few months ago, assisted the Canton Police Department and SWAT team in arresting a Canton man earlier this month, and arrested another man wanted by Massillon Police.
One man allegedly was plotting to kill his stepfather, and the other man had a warrant out for his arrest on charges of robbing a school crossing guard.
Craig A. Burgess, 18, of 1016 Smith Ave. SW, Canton, is charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated murder. He was arrested Dec. 12 and is being held in the Stark County Jail in lieu of $1 million bond. Burgess was bound over Monday from Canton Municipal Court to Stark County Common Pleas Court.
According to court records, Burgess plotted with two other people to get a gun and kill his stepfather. The plan also included stealing money and fleeing to Florida, according to court papers.
Canal Fulton Police Chief Doug Swartz said this has been one of the most interesting cases in the 19 years he has been with the department and was thankful for his department's opportunity to be proactive.
Canal Fulton had a rash of car break-ins and the afternoon shift officers were called out when a resident saw three people looking into vehicles, Swartz wrote in an email. Officers made contact with the individuals but they cleared the scene after running information provided to them and not seeing any evidence that they were breaking into vehicles, Swartz said.
Patrol officer Sara Wilson, a newly hired officer with less than three months experience, decided to dig a little deeper.
"Researching Facebook and reading an article in The Massillon Independent she remembered a subject that Massillon PD had a warrant for," Swartz said in the email.
Wilson suspected the involvement of Billy Ray Sanders, 19, of Canton, who was wanted by Massillon Police for robbing a school crossing guard the morning of Dec. 9.
Wilson printed out a picture of Sanders and officers confirmed they had seen him the previous night. Wilson found Sanders in the 300 block of N. Canal Street. He was arrested for the warrant out of Massillon and charged with additional charges.
Sanders had a preliminary hearing Dec. 20 in Massillon Municipal Court and was bound over to a grand jury. He is charged with having weapons while under disability and robbery, both felonies, as well as falsification and obstructing official business, both misdemeanors. He is in the Stark County Jail on $50,000 bond.
During Sanders' arrest, officers found a firearm. Wilson and officer John Barabasch discovered that Craig Burgess was wanting the gun in part of a strategy to kill his stepfather, get his money and flee the area the next morning, Swartz said.
"I am very confident that if it was not for her (Sara Wilson's) efforts, Mr. Burgess would have followed through with his threats and killed an innocent person," Barabasch said in an email.
Instead, the Canton SWAT team moved in to make an arrest on Burgess at his Canton residence. Burgess fled on foot and a Canton police dog was used to track Burgess and he was arrested.
"Being new, it is amazing to me to see how something so minor can turn into something so serious," Wilson said. "It is very rewarding to me to have been put into a position to help someone from being a victim of a violent crime. Helping others is what drew me to this profession but I never dreamed this early in my career I would have been involved in something like this. "
Swartz said he would like to thank the Canton Police Department and SWAT team and is proud of his officers in Canal Fulton.
"Thankfully, with the nature of crime in our community we have the opportunity to be more of a proactive policing agency versus reactive," he said. "You will not find a finer example of that than the investigation Ptl. Sara Wilson put together. An outstanding achievement if you ask me."

Who will pay for early E coli interventions in beef cattle?
Food safety experts say that a vaccine and probiotics are available to combat dangerous Escherichia coli in beef at a cost of only about a penny a burger, but the question of who will pay for early interventions remains a major hurdle, a USA Today report said. The vaccine was introduced by Pfizer Animal Health in 2010, costs $4 to $6 per animal, and is said to eliminate O157:H7 E coli in 85% of cattle and reduce levels shed in manure by 98%, according to Pfizer. Other vaccines are in the works as well. Probiotics are beneficial bacterial cultures added to feed that out-compete harmful E coli in cattle's digestive tract. An effective dose costs $2 to $4 per animal, according to the story. Consumers are willing to pay 1 to 2 cents per pound for safer beef, the story says. "The question is no longer, 'Can we get the technologies?' We've got them, or they're soon to arrive. The question is 'How do we implement?'" said Guy Loneragan, professor of food safety at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. The major obstacle may be determining who foots the bill for preventive steps taken long before slaughter. Cattle growers and feedlots are in a position to use the tools but wouldn't benefit. And food companies would place themselves at an economic disadvantage if they demanded the steps while others didn't. So far only two small operations in Kansas have added the steps, according to the story, but if a mega corporation like McDonald's or Wal-Mart were to adopt the practices, "the industry will turn around on a dime," according to one industry executive.

EU measles cases remain at high levels
The World Health Organization's (WHO's) European Region has reported 26,074 measles cases this year as of Oct 26, according to a report today in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). For comparison, the region reported 30,639 cases in 2010. So far this year outbreaks have been reported in 36 of 53 countries in the region, which first saw measles cases increase sharply beginning in late 2009. The median age of patients was 15 years. About 28% were hospitalized, and nine deaths were reported. France has had the largest ongoing outbreak, accounting for 14,025 of the reported cases. Six genotypes were reported, with D4 the most common. The report said measles from Europe has accounted from most importation into the United States since 2008, with 20 importations this year so far, just over half with links to France. The WHO said several factors are contributing to high numbers of measles cases in Europe, including lack of knowledge about the seriousness of the disease, vaccination skepticism, fear of side effects, and limited access for underserved populations. New strategies are needed to portray the risks of the disease and the benefits of vaccination, the report said.

Latin American and Caribbean nations embrace rotavirus vaccination
Latin American and Caribbean countries are making steady progress with immunization against rotavirus disease, but coverage in some countries is below that for the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine, suggesting some gaps in vaccine delivery, US and international health officials reported today in MMWR. The vaccine was first introduced to six countries in the region, including Mexico, in 2006, and is now administered in 14 nations. The researchers estimated, based on country surveillance systems, that in 2010 the median rotavirus vaccine coverage was 89%, with 7 million of the region's infants vaccinated. They wrote that the findings show that new vaccines can reach target populations fairly quickly and that lessons learned in the region might help health officials in Africa and Asia as rotavirus vaccine is launched in the next few years. Rotavirus infection is the world's leading cause of diarrhea-related hospitalizations and deaths in children younger than 5.

Phase 1 trial of TB vaccine launched in South Africa
A candidate tuberculosis (TB) vaccine produced by Vienna-based Intercell is undergoing a phase 1 clinical trial in South Africa, according to a press release today from Statens Serum Institut (SSI) of Copenhagen and Aeras, a Rockville, Md., non-profit that supports vaccine development. The vaccine is designed to protect people infected with TB from developing active TB disease. The trial is being conducted by the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative at its field site in Worcester, South Africa, marking the first time a South African research institute has led a phase 1 trial of a TB vaccine. "The development of urgently needed new TB vaccines requires a global effort," said SSI Vice President Peter Andersen. The candidate vaccine, SSI H56-IC31, contains recombinant TB proteins and IC31, Intercell's proprietary adjuvant. The trial involves 25 adults, including some with latent TB infection.

How to know the real cost, efficiency and profitability of each activity
The Municipal Transport Company of Madrid (EMT) needed to get a clearer view of its costs – which of its operations were profitable, and which weren't? It needed to develop a more precise cost system so it could accurately assess the direct and indirect costs of its activities and transfer those costs to each of the individual lines and buses.
To strengthen its cost control systems, EMT launched an activity-based costing project using SAS® Cost and Profitability Management. As a result, it can now obtain accurate information on costs and profitability of each line and bus.
Before this project, EMT – which is responsible for Madrid's public bus transportation – didn't have sufficient cost information to make informed decisions. Its financial control system provided only aggregate information, without much detail. "We now have detailed knowledge of all costs, direct and indirect, by activity – allowing us to make better business decisions and provide better services to our citizens," says José David Pérez, Deputy Director of Finance at EMT.
We now have detailed knowledge of all costs, direct and indirect, by activity, allowing us to make better business decisions and provide better services to our citizens.
José David Pérez
It is important for EMT to analyze the effectiveness and profitability of its services. With SAS Cost and Profitability Management, EMT can identify which processes are consuming the most resources, or if any of the activities have costs that outweigh their benefits.
This comprehensive analysis of costs helps EMT make better operational decisions, such as expanding the number of buses on a particular route or improving the customer services and optimizing scarce resources. "A cheaper bus may not be cost-effective if we have higher tire usage costs," Pérez explains. "This is the comprehensive information we get with SAS. Thanks to this, we can identify all costs, direct and indirect, generated from each particular type of bus."
A very powerful analytical model
SAS Activity-Based Management has great flexibility and analytics, which allows EMT to compare costs by different variables such as bus model, operations center, lines and shifts, the profitability of these lines in each time slot, or cost per kilometer or passenger transported.
"SAS deepened the cost analysis to the level of detail that we needed," Pérez said.
SAS experts collaborated with the University of Malaga to tailor SAS Cost and Profitability Management to EMT's needs. The results of the model are analyzed using visual reports that will help future decision making.
EMT uses the information from SAS Cost and Profitability Management to generate three types of reports: one for senior management, which provides a broad view of general costs; one for the business managers to understand and analyze the profitability of each line and the cost per bus; and a third for the operations centers. EMT can also easily access all of the information the system provides through more detailed ad hoc analysis or drill-down reporting.
EMT now understands the costs of its services and activities. This information allows it to improve efficiency by optimizing resources, and therefore meet its commitment to provide a quality urban transportation service.
The current EMT reporting system did not include details such as cost per individual bus and line.
SAS® Cost and Profitability Management
Access to detailed reports by cost per activity, bus route or individual bus.
About EMT
EMT is responsible for the Madrid's public bus transportation. It manages a fleet of 2,092 buses running on 216 lines, serving the public 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Annually, they travel about 62 million miles and transport roughly 425 million passengers.

Right, you want to post a link to a great website - http://www.hot-chicken-soup.co.uk Normally It's as simple as just typing in the address in your post (see it did it just there):
however if the URL is very long this may lead to the page size being stretched - which is a pain when reading the rest of the posts in a topic. In this case you can use this syntax instead:

[url=http://www.hot-chicken-soup.co.uk]soup link[/url]

The red bit is where you put the link address/URL and the blue bit is the text you want displayed for that link. The example above would end up being displayed as:

If you put your mouse over the "URL" button when composing a message it'll remind you of the syntax.

Hokepoints: Jack the Magician
Highlights from 1948 Rose Bowl
Every five years or so, a group of old Michigan players from mid-1940s would gather to share old stories and relive the camaraderie of one of the closest teams to ever put on the winged helmet. The team featured the All-American backfield duo of Bob Chappuis and Bump Elliott, not to mention Howard Yerges, Bob Mann, and future All-Americans Alvin Wistert, Pete Elliott, Dick Rifenburg, and Robert Wahl. But when you ask the history guys who really made that team go, their answer is always the same guy, and not one of the above. He was also, coincidentally, the guy organizing the reunions.
As they last met in 2008, 2013 was supposed to be the next such get-together. Some of the guys are still out on the golf course, but the years have dealt the losses to these men that their 1946-'49 opponents never could, and of those that remain to us, too few can responsibly make the journey for a 2013 reunion. So we'll have it here instead, as MGoBlog had the opportunity to interview the man at the heart of one of Michigan's all-time greatest teams, spinning fullback Jack Weisenburger.
Last week I had the opportunity to spend a short time speaking with Jack on the phone about his time at Michigan, from his recruitment to the changes he witnessed in wartime, to the team. His story and theirs, after the jump.

WIA Participants by Program PY-2002-06
The number of individuals served by each of the WIA programs (Adults, Dislocated Workers, Older Youth and Younger Youth) decreased from Program Year (PY) 2002 to PY 2003. In PY 2002, the WIA programs served 1,273,012 people. This figure decreased to 1,178,316 in PY 2003, and further declined to 1,120,762 in PY 2004, and then rose to 1,632,444 in PY 2005. There was a further increase to 2,337,775 in PY 2006. The number of Adult participants rose in PY 2005 and 2006. The number of Dislocated Worker participants rose in PY 2006. The Older Youth and Younger Youth programs experienced a decline during each program year covered by this chart. The Adult program accounted for most of the total increase, and the increase may be attributed to some states including counts of participants who access self-service only.

On 24 December 2012: The reputation system was disabled. Any accumulated rep points no longer appear next to your posts, and the "Latest Reputation Received" section is no longer be visible in your User CP.
Why this change?
The Reputation System was introduced in November 2003. Since that time, a rather large discrepancy has formed between the rep power of certain long-time members and those of newer members, which affects the overall balance of the point system. In addition, it has been noted by the staff (and many forum members) that the reputation system as currently implemented has resulted in some behaviour that could be seen as negative, such as "anonymous coward" negative rep (including nasty or inappropriate rep comments), and a general preoccupation with the "power" some people feel reputation points represent (including the formation of "cliques" who encourage each other via rep). The intention of the reputation system was to provide a simple and fun way to give feedback to other posters (and to reward posters who made positive contributions to the Forum), but the staff are not convinced that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks at this time. This decision was reached after many months of consideration among the staff, and the current timing was chosen so that we can enter the Holiday season and the New Year with a fresh start.
How should I give feedback about posts instead?
Since the system was introduced, we have introduced other new ways to give feedback, including the Visitor Message system. We would encourage posters to provide feedback via VM, or via Private Message if you'd prefer to keep things private. Of course, you may also reply directly in the threads, but please do not post in the thread only to offer thanks or to make trivial comments like "I agree" (please see our Forum Rule about useful posts).
Will there be a new system like reputation in the future?
At this time, the existing reputation system will be retired, and the Forum will run without any reputation system. After the Forum has run this way for a while, the staff will consider whether there is a need to introduce a new system. If a new post feedback system is introduced, all existing reputation points will be eliminated and all reputation power reset such that everyone will be given a "fresh start" under whatever rules a new system may involve. However, at this time, there are no established plans to introduce a new reputation or post feedback system.
How can I give my feedback about this change?
While the decision to retire the current system is final, the staff are open to a discussion that may impact the future direction for possible new feedback systems that could be developed. You may leave your comments in this thread (yes, this one).
The staff would like to thank all Forum Members who make positive contributions to the Forum, and those Forum Members who used their reputation power over the years to encourage positive, constructive forum behaviour. While the reputation system is being retired, we hope that we can continue to work together to make this the most fun, engaging, and insightful community for Anime and related discussion online. We covet your feedback as we strive to reach that goal.

Well that kinda sucks. So my Reputation board is going to keep on looking like this?:
Feels like they've had the last laugh now...
Could you at least do us favour and make it so that the neg rep comments disappear from our boards? It just doesn't help when you're seeing that every time you look at your board...

(That being said, that "fag detected" comment is inappropriate, and we consider that rep abuse. You could have reported that.)

I must admit, when I discussed this with you a few months back I assumed you were simply being diplomatic and stating that the staff were taking it into consideration while in actuality dismissing it as being an issue. Tons of respect for proving me wrong.

O_O Well, this was unexpected. Might be a silly request, but maybe in these final days, you could make it so that more than just the most recent five reps show up in the User Control Panel (as you mentioned as being possible here)? It was always flattering when someone said something positive about my posts, so it would be nice to be able to Ctrl + S those years of memories.

This is an interesting decision.
I can definitely see why the moderating staff has made it.
But I won't lie - Part of me will be sad to see it go. I've largely been a beneficiary of the rep system, and I have to admit that receiving pos rep with nice little messages next to them felt rewarding at times.
On a more serious note, my main worry here is that you may, at least in the short term, see a bit more open flaming (since the anonymous neg rep outlet is now removed). I know some message boards where rudeness and flamewars are tolerated much more than they are here, and I'd hate to see Anime Suki descend to such levels. So I hope that's something that will continue to not be tolerated here on Anime Suki.
I do have one forum suggestion I'd like to make, and it's tied to the decision to get rid of rep. Would it be best if I made that suggestion on this thread, or started a new thread with it?

So how are we supposed to detect trolls without the rep system? I won't name names, but people I see with rep disabled or red squares often end up being rather trollish.
Additionally, I'll miss the little green squares next to my name.

There were parts of the system I didn't understand and questions like: "How many pluses gets a green bar?" "What is the uppermost limit?" "What are the alt-texts for all the ranks?" Glad I don't have to worry about those things anymore.

I also disagree that this is a good idea. I see your point about long-time visitors having too much impact, so why don't you just divide all reputation points by 10 or more and restart? It DOES contain useful information, like synaesthetic already mentioned.

Well this is news to me. The decision's final and all, but aside from the few bad folks lurking about, the rep system was what separated me from being a long time lurker to an actual poster. Not in the sense that one would post for rep, but by receiving it, one would feel like they were contributing more to the community who appreciated it.
I have an inkling you may hear from a few general and Fan Creation veterans too, since they built up that rep for a long time. As for me, it's a little sad to see it go, but I'll adapt.
There is a sense that I, amongst other people will be watching something we built up for a while get wiped in one instant. That might not be as pretty, but at least it'll be on Christmas Eve where I'll probably be preoccupied.
Looking forward to seeing how it all works out.

synaesthetic raises a good point about the usefulness of the system. I'll miss that aspect.
My only request is that we not replace this with those systems of up-voting and down-voting individual posts.

Well, this sure is a bit of a surprise. It was when I got my first reputation award that I decided to continue posting. And I'll do so regardless, but I can't help but feel a little sad to see it go. But, at the very least, I suppose that means there'll be no more anonymous negs. Or complaints about them.
But at the same time, I do like that posters are being encouraged to use VMs more. There's more room for proper conversation that way.

I think removing the "comment" is way more better than removing the entire system. Many had give their best to received them deservingly. I think you must reconsider this for this will have a big impact to the whole forum. I admit the system sucks in the beginning but honestly it made me realized that the system is a mirror of the people's perception of you.
Lastly, I suggest you make a poll first before doing this.. Have every opinion counts.. Thank you.

Constructed from a shipping container on the corner of 25th and Larimer streets (303-292-0700), Work & Class will open Wednesday, Jan. 29.
The surprisingly cozy new spot from Delores Tronco, Tony Maciag and chef Dana Rodriguez hosted an advance tasting of its very American but Latin-accented menu.
Rodriguez grew up in Mexico and worked at Panzano and Bistro Vendome prior to venturing out on her own with Tronco and Maciag. Her food is focused and deeply flavored, and neither too rich nor too fussy.
If the preview is any prediction, Work & Class promises to be a new favorite. I'll go back for the rotisserie chicken and the apple bread pudding. And the cochinita pibil (red-chile-braised pork) with handmade tortillas. And the salmon fritter with fried plantain and jalapeño aioli.
"We want the whole experience to have depth. It really is a working class place. Some of the menu items might seem disparate but all of those things pair well together," says Tronco.
It's the kind of place you wish were in your neighborhood so you could eat there every week.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (August 28, 2013) – The East Tennessee State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics released information Wednesday that junior forward Ron Giplaye (Lowell, Mass.) is out indefinitely following open heart surgery to correct a congenital cardiac abnormality.
Facing what was a life-threatening condition, Giplaye underwent the medical procedure late last week and is currently recovering in Johnson City. At this point, every indication points to Giplaye making a full recovery.
"Ron was diagnosed with this condition in the summer," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "Our medical staff immediately began the process of coming to a solution. Considering the best interests of Ron, it was determined that he needed to have this surgery. At this point, everything has gone well but he will be out indefinitely. The top priority right now is for Ron to recover. We will worry about basketball and his availability to play at a later date."
ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Richard Sander said he was proud of those that have been involved in Giplaye's evaluation and treatment.
"Ron's health and the well-being of all our student-athletes is the top priority of our department," Sander said. "I want to commend our sports medicine staff and Coach Bartow for acting immediately and in the best interests of Ron."

Charles R. Knight
The Artist Who Saw Through Time
Richard Milner
Abrams: $40, 180 pp.
Although his is not a household name, Charles R. Knight (1874-1953) created paintings of dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, woolly mammoths and other prehistoric fauna that captured the popular imagination. His murals in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Field Museum in Chicago and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County influenced the look of the dinosaurs in scores of Hollywood films, from "King Kong" and "One Million Years B.C." to "Fantasia"; the prehistoric diorama in Disneyland; and the herds of plastic dinosaurs that baby boomers played with as kids.
Richard Milner draws on Knight's own writings to present a lively, well-researched portrait of an artist who often seems as eccentric as he was talented. As a boy, Knight interrupted one of his father's uplifting bedtime stories with, "I'm tired of hearing about Jesus. Tell me about elephants." He never lost his fascination with animals — living or extinct — and sketched them constantly.
Although he repeatedly refused a staff position at the American Museum of Natural History, Knight worked closely with its president, the formidable paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn. Knight watched the museum's taxidermists at work, studied anatomy and made small models of his subjects before painting them. His painstaking efforts produced what came to be regarded as the definitive restorations of many prehistoric animals.
Amazingly, the artist was legally blind for much of his life. Knight was severely myopic and astigmatic, and a childhood injury exacerbated his deteriorating eyesight. He worked primarily on small panels and used assistants to enlarge them into murals.
But for all his dedication, Knight was an impractical man and an outspoken critic of work he deemed inaccurate or inferior, complaining in letters to the editor thatGeorgia O'Keeffe's celebrated "Ram's Head" actually depicted a goat's skull, and that the unlovely statue of a short-faced bear at the La Brea Tar Pits "gives me the creeps." (The handsome frieze on the Page Museum was partially inspired by Knight's work.)
Recent discoveries about dinosaur metabolism and physiology have rendered some of Knight's work obsolete: Early 20th century paleontologists didn't know some dinosaurs had warm blood and/or feathers. A generation of artists led by Mark Hallett and Stephen Czerkas have offered new visions of more agile, colorful dinosaurs. But Knight's paintings continue to enchant viewers — and will as long as dinosaurs retain their fascination for our recently arrived species.
Solomon's recent works include "The Art of 'Toy Story 3'" and "Tale as Old as Time: The Art and Making of 'Beauty and the Beast.'"

Garnet Hill's Kind-of-Country Christmas
Catalog company Garnet Hill always does a lot for the holidays, and this year's no exception. They've got a few new collections that fit into their traditional, kind-of-country aesthetic, but what really sets them apart are their collaborations with high-quality textile and houseware designers.

The Hable Collection features throw pillows, stockings, and rugs in bright reds and greens, while the Nicola Collection is more rustic — they describe it as "heirloom decor with a vintage vibe." The Simon Pearce stuff is expensive, but all the glass is hand-blown in England and most of it's produced in limited editions. There are also some nice, basic boxwood wreaths alongside some very cheesy elves, Santas, and reindeer decor.

Sometimes I think Filoni should try less to address continuity stuff like that. It's probably one of the bigger issues fans get annoyed with, regardless of the reasoning. The whole Mandalorian arc had them basically lose an author over it, and threw out a popular series of books... It's just silly.
Secrets Revealed? HOW ABOUT REVEALING HE ACTUALLY HAS A DAD?
Sounds like a lot of deleted and extended scenes. I'm curious what all is maybe available. I wish they'd do more of that stuff as Season 1 and 2 are nice to have, but lacked the "umph" I was hoping for.

Some people think it does. After all, the the Dow has not reached that lofty height in more than five years. As the AP reported,
"It was just a number on a board, but it was enough to raise the hopes of some investors and cause others concern about an overheated market. And it brought reminders of a different era, back before the financial crisis rocked the world economy.
" … To others, though, Dow 14,000 is nothing but a number, a sign more of how traders feel than of the economy. And it's not even the best number on the board, some traders say. Professional investors usually pay more heed to the Standard & Poor's main index, which tracks 500 companies compared to the Dow's 30. The Dow garners attention, they say, because it's more familiar to the general public."
Whaddya think?
— Is this a significant number, and are we headed in the right direction?
— Or is unemployment still too high at 7.9%?
— If you had money to invest, where would you put it? Stocks? Gold? Real estate? Something else?

Dr. Timothy Yeatman has been the director of the Gibbs Cancer Center for only a few weeks, but he already has a clear vision for its future, building the cancer center into what he has coined "The Next Generation Cancer Center."
He walks through the hospital like a man on a mission.
His pace is quick, energetic, upbeat. You can almost see the determination and focus in his brown eyes.
Dr. Timothy Yeatman has been the director of the Gibbs Cancer Center for only a few weeks, but he already has a clear vision for its future, building the cancer center into what he has coined "The Next Generation Cancer Center."
"The vision is to really distinguish the cancer center as a bona fide cancer center," he said. "We are trying to build a cancer center that will bring the best drugs, the best trials and the best therapy to patients here at home."
Building a nationally recognized cancer center is nothing new to Yeatman.
About 20 years ago, he helped build the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., from the ground up. Today, the facility is one of the nation's top three National Cancer Institute's Comprehensive Cancer Centers.
The surgeon acquired a large number of titles during his stint: executive vice president for translational research, professor of surgery and oncologic sciences and section head of hepatobiliary surgery, among others.
"He's experienced," said David Church, vice president of oncology and support services at Gibbs Cancer Center. "He's here to take this facility to the next level."
The journey to bring Yeatman to Spartanburg was a long one. It officially began in October 2009 when Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System raised $15 million to establish an endowed chair program.
During an event celebrating the Gibbs Cancer Center's 10th anniversary, Jimmy Gibbs made a promise to the community.
"We need the greatest talent in the world," he said to a crowd of about 500. "We all started something here that's grown. We've got a jewel, and we need some of the greatest talent in the world, and we can get it. We will bring national talent to us that will bring notoriety to the hospital and the cancer center and the (Bearden-Josey) Breast Center."
Three years later, that national talent arrived.
"We were looking for the right experience and the right personality," Church said. "Dr. Yeatman is a brilliant man with a vision."
Yeatman has yet to unpack all of his belongings — moving boxes clutter his new office, empty shelves line the walls. But he has wasted no time unpacking his vision. It's drawn on the wall beside his office door.
"That's what I'm trying to bring here," he said, describing his sketch. "A cancer center for the next generation."
Yeatman said the "Next Generation Cancer Center" is one that is:
- A place where doctors of multiple disciplines work together and discuss how to best treat each patient.
- A place that provides the community with care similar to what they could get from a leading facility such as the Mayo Clinic or MD Anderson.
- A place that other community cancer centers look to as a model.
- A place for both top-notch cancer care and cutting-edge cancer research.
The Gibbs Cancer Center conducts clinical trials, in which researchers test the effects of new drugs on a group of volunteers who have cancer.
But Yeatman says a "true cancer center" needs to be doing a substantial amount of research, beyond clinical trials.
"If you don't have cutting-edge research going on, you can't claim to be a cancer center," he said. "We don't do a lot of research here, but we will."
Plans to construct a research lab inside the Gibbs Cancer Center are already in the works.
Church said bringing Yeatman to Spartanburg is really about "building upon the foundation the cancer center has now."
"It's really taking the experience he has with one of the largest cancer centers in the country and bringing it to a community cancer center for generations to come," Church said. "This is really about the community."
But it's not just Yeatman's experience that the Gibbs Cancer Center is excited about. It's his expertise with genomics and personalized medicine, which he touts as the "future of cancer care."
Personalized medicine is about treating each cancer patient as an individual, based on their genetic composition.
Yeatman said not every drug works as well on every person, not every antidepressant works the same with each individual. People respond differently to even aspirin, he said.
"Chemotherapy and drug therapy for cancer is no different," he said. "Everyone is different based on their own genetic profile and tumors are different, too, because they are derived from your own tissue. If you're different, then your tumor is going to be different."
Understanding genetics is important to treating cancer, he said,
Dr. James Bearden, managing physician of Gibbs Cancer Center and vice president of research at Spartanburg Regional, said bringing in someone such as Dr. Yeatman and his knowledge of personalized medicine will help build a good research institute.
Leaving a well-established cancer center in a large city and coming to Spartanburg took a lot of time and consideration.
But ultimately, Yeatman saw a great opportunity in the Gibbs Cancer Center, which opened in 1999.
"This is already one of the better community cancer centers in the country," he said. "They have already instituted a number of things that have them on the right track."
In 2005, Gibbs became the only center in the Carolinas, and one of only nine in the nation, affiliated with the MD Anderson Physicians Network in Houston. Gibbs regularly undergoes rigorous reviews of its standards and practices to ensure that it meets MD Anderson's strict standards of care, according to the hospital's website.
"To get off the ground and running they needed some help and direction," Yeatman said. "So they aligned with MD Anderson in Houston to make that happen. And that got them in a path for quality and improvement."
On a recent Friday, Yeatman discussed how he attended a meeting at the hospital earlier in the week at which doctors from multiple disciplines were present — a time when doctors, regardless of their specialities, got together to discuss cases.
These meetings are a step in the right direction, Yeatman said.
A true cancer center is a cancer center "without walls where all doctors come together as a team."
"Medicine is an ever-changing field; you have to be able to keep up with the literature and the disciplines, and it's hard to keep up with what's going on outside your discipline," he said. "We are good at this now, but we want to be great."
With his knowledge of building a next generation cancer center and his focus on personalized medicine, Church said Yeatman brings a lot to Spartanburg.
"We truly have a center of professionals working together to fight cancer. That's now and today," he said. "And now, we are setting ourselves up for the advancements of technology, genomics and personalized medicine. We will be well-positioned to be a true cancer center."
"The future is bright for Spartanburg," he added.

"Moñsenor: The Last Journey of Óscar Romero" is a timely and compelling portrait of Monseñor Óscar Romero, the brave soul who dared to defend the oppressed and disenfranchised people of El Salvador in the late 1970s, and paid the ultimate price for standing up to a repressive government.

"The Unreturned" examines the impact of the 4.7 million Iraqis that have fled the country in the wake of the US-led invasion. It is the story of five middle-class Iraqi refugees caught in an absurdist purgatory of endless bureaucracy, dwindling life savings, and forced idleness.

Former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky is charged with abusing eight different boys over a 15-year period, and some of the abuse allegedly occurred in Penn State football facilities.
In fact, according to the charges, one incident involving a ten-year-old boy in a shower was actually witnessed by a grad assistant in 2002, and it was reported to storied head coach Joe Paterno, a man who throughout his career has been viewed as someone who "did things the right way."
Paterno reported what the grad assistant told him to the school's athletic director, but then let the matter drop. Sandusky by then was retired from Penn State, but he still had full access to the university's football facilities. The only action the school took was to prohibit him from bringing kids from his foundation, which helps at-risk kids, onto the Penn State campus.
This story undoubtedly hits close to home for residents of Queens and Brooklyn. It was just earlier this year that former Christ the King basketball coach Bob Oliva pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a teenage boy. The suit alleged that Oliva had sexual contact with the boy over 100 times over a four-year period. Oliva maintains his innocence, but the plea deal spared him from going to prison.
While not of the stature of Paterno, Oliva was one of the most celebrated figures in New York City basketball history, and top players from all over the city wanted to play at Christ the King. He is even a member of the Christ the King Hall of Fame.
When the first allegations arose, other disturbing claims were made about Oliva by former players, including that he regularly took players to prostitutes after good games and that he masturbated in front of young boys.
What do these two cases have in common?
If all of the allegations are indeed true, and that this type of abuse, in both instances, was long-term and so utterly systemic, then someone at some level had to know what was happening, and those people chose to look the other way.
If that is the case, the abuse could have been dealt with from the start, and many more kids could have been spared from enduring sexual abuse at the hands of adults they trusted, ultimately scarring them for life. Instead, they put personal reputation and athletic success over the welfare of the most vulnerable of our society.
We can fully understand that confronting a person, accusing them of abusing children and then making sure that the abuser will not have contact with children within the halls of your educational institution would not, in any case, be a comfortable or easy-to-solve dilemma. We understand the urge to keep the investigation "in house."
But as adults, we owe it to our children to not merely inquire if we suspect abusing is occurring, but to take action when we know there is a problem with that adult, even at the expense of the reputation of our educational institution.
In some cases, like that of Joe Paterno, failing to do so might not be against the law, but it is morally reprehensible.

Tuesday, August 16, 2011 - Michal and Artur - Fucking Duo
We tooka Michal Herak and Artur Lafek on location with us. Both great looking guys I was looking forward to a really good scene. The guys start out by the side of a river, and give themselves a quick wash before checking the map to find where they need to go. They soon find their way to the castle and find a way in. Michal is in need of a piss, so he takes a leak as Artur has a cigarette. When Michal has finished with his piss he gets feels a bit frisky, so undoes Artur shorts and take out his cock, going down on it. Michal sucks that cock while Artur enjoys his cigarette, and soon the cock is rock hard with Michal fucking his mouth onto it. Artur gives Michal a toke of the cigarette and Michal blows th smoke out, over that throbbing cock. Then Michal goes up and starts to kiss Artur who responds by groping Michal thru his ...

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Wank Party 2011 #8 features a bevy of beauties, in David Kadera, Artur Lafek, Michal Herak, Gregor Bortel, Roman Demuth and Daniel Benda. The video starts with interchanging shots of Roman and Gregor playing squash and the other four guys in the pool, with a frisbee. David, Artur, Michal and Daniel get out of the pool and remove their swimming trunks and jump back into the pool. Gregor and Roman finish their game and join the guys in the pool. Then the fun really begins, as three guys climb on the shoulder of the others and start to play fight, having a lot of fun. Then they climb out of the pool and move to a relaxation room, where they dry each other. Roman, David and Artur take it a bit further and start to rub each other's bodies, the other guy notice and do the same. David and Artur really get things going by kissing each other, as Artur takes hold of David's cock. So now the action really hots up and as all the guys start to get it on, with kissing and caressing, in two groups of three. It is not long before the two groups come together, with David focussing his attention on Michal, while wanking Artur. Daniel gets in on the act by starting to wank Michal. Cocks are soon hard and the sucking begins, with David sucking on Artur, while he kisses Roman. Michal sucks on Daniel and wanks Gregor. David quickly moves to suck on Roman as well, switching between him and Artur. Daniel also gets in on the act and sucks Gregor as Michal sucks him. Lots of very nice sucking by the guys, which looks very good indeed. The groupings come together again so that David can suck on Michal while Artur attends to David's ass. A change of position sees everyone sucking or being sucked, or both, with hard throbbing cocks everywhere. It's not long before the action moves on and Daniel is rimming David, while Artur rims Michal with Gregor and Roman holding the guys legs in the air, to ease the access. Some fingering is also in order and duly happens, and we get a great view of two hot asses being well fingered. The natural progession is for some fucking and Artur slides his dick into David's willing hole, while Michal sits on Daniel's throbbing cock. Roman offers his cock up to David's eager mouth too and is duly accepted. Changing position so that Michal and David have their asses in the air lets Daniel and Artur fuck them nice and deep while Roman and Gregor's throbbing cocks get some attention as well. Michal and David swap positions, so that Artur and Daniel get a different ass to work on. After those asses have had a good fill there is still more to come, and the guys move to doggy, for some more deep dicking. Michal is also eager for a taste of Gregor's cock and goes down on it as he is being fucked. Gregor is ready to shoot his load and David and Michal go in close to get a taste as the cock blows. That is the trigger for the other guys and they lay Gregor down and all shoot there creamy loads over his body, to bring the party to a wonderful ending. What a lovely shoot with all the guys doing a great job.

We the Gay Pride Celebration in Prague came off with out a hitch. You can take a look at the BBC story:
Because of the faux controversy created by Mr. President's office, Mr. President has once again made the Front Page of the Internet Edition of the New York Times, under the headline "Czech Leader Isolated."
I would add parenthetically, Mr. President has made the front pages of international newspapers many times, but never in a way that brought credit to this country.
The former President Vaclav Havel once recalled he used to have weekly meetings with the current president who was then Prime Minister. He said there the conversations were always quite pleasant. Then the Prime Minister would get up and walk to the door, when he would stop, reach into his inside suit pocket and say 'there's one more little thing.' (I don't know who cribbed that statement from whom.) He'd pull out a piece of paper and lay into Havel for making a political statement. In most European countries, heads of state are figureheads and are not supposed to intervene in politics for all sorts of excellent reasons. After one particularly disagreeable encounter, Havel informed the Prime Minister's office 'today's meeting will be the last.' The PM's office came back, 'you cannot possibly announce this. It would be disastrous for the country if the news got out that the President would henceforth refuse the meet with the Prime Minster.' So, Havel replied, 'Ok, I won't announce it, but this was still the last meeting.' He added: "And it was."
What's so interesting, since he assumed the 'non-political' office, Mr. President has repeatedly intervened in politics, usually in ways that have been highly embarrassing for this country.
Today, I've posted the Second Part of my Backstage Teaser Videos for our upcoming Wank Party. It's a very good one.
We took Michal Herak and Artur Lafek on location with us. Both great looking guys I was looking forward to a really good scene. The guys start out by the side of a river, and give themselves a quick wash before checking the map to find where they need to go. They soon find their way to the castle and find a way in. Michal is in need of a piss, so he takes a leak as Artur has a cigarette. When Michal has finished with his piss he gets feels a bit frisky, so undoes Artur shorts and take out his cock, going down on it. Michal sucks that cock while Artur enjoys his cigarette, and soon the cock is rock hard with Michal fucking his mouth onto it. Artur gives Michal a toke of the cigarette and Michal blows th smoke out, over that throbbing cock. Then Michal goes up and starts to kiss Artur who responds by groping Michal thru his shorts. Michal drops his shorts to reveal a nice hard dick, which Artur immediately grabs, and then, dropping to his knees, starts to suck. Michal fucks his cock into Artur's mouth before turning around so that Artur can rim his tight hole. He rims the hole while still pulling on Michal's dick. Spitting on the hole for extra wetness Artur laps at it. Before long he fingers the hole too, with Michal moaning as he does it. Michal really pushes his ass out to get the finger deeper, he is just loving it. With that Artur is ready to plow the tight ass, and slides his thick hard cock into Michal's ready hole. Artur loves to fuck slow and deep and lifts Michal's leg to gain deeper access. Michal loves that feeling and wanks his own cock at the same time as his ass it getting Artur's. Then Artur lifts Michal and hold him in place so he is sitting on that rock hard dick as it fucks into his ass. Next the guys move to missionary, so that Artur gave fuck some more while Michal wanks himself. Michal is just loving that dick in his ass and cant hold back, letting his load go whle being fucked. Artur continues to fuck until his load has built up in his balls and he pulls out and shoots his cum into Michal's mouth. Michal is eager for it and takes Artur's cock in his mouth for more. Which brings a really lovely scene to a very nice end. Two great looking guys, giving us a perfect scene.
I've posted a Teaser Video about this shoot on my Blog:
Our nude submission wrestling matches have proved very popular and today's contestants, Maxim Petrovic and Ivan Vladic are two very likely candidates. Maxim had done some matches before, and was rather successful in them. Ivan is a newcomer and is a bit of a street fighter in real life, it seems. So I expected a good match. The guys start off with friendly greetings, and then start to strip down to their underwear, before going through some mutual stretching exercises. The bout then begins, with the guys in their undies. Maxim starts well and wins the first round, and the guys remove their slipys for the start of the 2nd round. The guys fight very hard and though Maxim takes a healthy lead, in rounds won, it is closer than the score would appear to show. Ivan gives a good account of himself and soon wins one round. At 7-1 the guys take the opportunity to oil each other up, which will make gripping more problematic and so heighten the thrill of the match. We see some lovely view of the guys asses and dicks as they thrash about with each other. After much very entertaining wrestling the match is over, with Maxim winning 15-1. Well done to him, proving again what a good fighter he is. The guys then settle down for a wank off. This is one contest which Ivan wins easily, squirting a nice load over his leg before Maxim delivers his own very good load too. The guys, in the spirit of friendship, clean each other off before moving off to the shower to wash each other and bring the video to a very nice ending.
Daniel Galba is ages 21 and lives in Liberec, where he works as a locksmith. He enjoys machines, tennis and swimming. Daniel looks great I think, and has a ready smile. He starts his video with an interview and then gets down to business. He is quick to open his jeans and slide his hand in as he rubs his body. Almost immediately a helping hand arrives and starts to rub Daniel's body, removing his tee-shirt. The hands get oiled up and apply the oil to Daniel's body, a hand dipping into the jeans to grab a feel. The hands leave and Daniel stands to remove his jeans, revealing the most amazingly full bush I have seen for many a long day. But the bush doesn't hide a rather lovely cock and low hanging balls. Daniel looks very pleased with himself as he stands there showing us his goods, and his dick starts to swell as he rubs his body. Still flaccid, but swollen it looks wonderful. As he stands there working his body a hand appears and takes hold of Daniel's cock, and starts to pull on it. Bit by bit that cock starts to grow, under the helping hand, until it is standing proud. We get a fabulous view of that tackle, from below with the pendulus balls hanging there as the hand wanks Daniel's rock hard cock. Daniel is then turned around and bent over, so we can see his ass, and the hands get to work again, wanking the cock downwards, and oiling the ass. Daniel stays aroused as his ass is caressed by the hands and then reclines on the couch, so that the hands can really work on his cock. Next Daniel's legs are raised to expose that very nice pucker hole, as he is being wanked. More oil is applied and an orange vibrator is presented to Daniel's ass, and slides in quite nicely, with Daniel smiling all the while. Very soon his cock is ready to blow and he delivers a very nice money-shot before departing for the shower. I do hope we can persuade Daniel to come back for more.
Jan Krutak is aged 22 and lives in Prague. He is a student of economics and likes movies, fitness and athletics. What a stunner Jan is, with a really handsome face and a wonderful body, such good definition. He does very well in this stills shoot, with some great poses and that very nice cock of his, along with very low hanging balls. He also shows us the pefrect ass, very nicely spread. I will look foward to seeing his erotic video.
Igor Premsyl is 27 and comes from Prostejov. He is a bodyguard and a boxer and likes fitness, boxing and vale tudo. This is the stills shoot we did of Igor, for Badpuppy. As in his previous stills shoot Igor looks truly wonderful here. He is such a handsome guy and has an amazing body. His cock isn't the longest, but it is thick and gets very hard indeed. He also sports an amazing bubble butt that looks great with the cheeks spread, exposing his tight pucker hole. His video for Badpuppy will appear in the next few days too, so look out for it.
Castings: Tonight it's kind of a tossup between Jirka Buzek and Jan Faust. But, at the end of the day, I'll go with Jan.

One of the highest honors in the field of letters, the PEN Literary Awards, were announced Wednesday, and among the honorees are three playwrights. Christopher Durang is receiving the Master American Dramatist award, while Will Eno and Adam Rapp are being honored in the field of mid-career playwrights.
This year's drama honors were decided by a panel comprised of producer Robert Brustein, New Yorker critic John Lahr and director Stephen Wadsworth.
The awards will be handed out at a ceremony in New York on Oct. 23. (The full name of the drama honors is the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation Awards.)
Past winners of PEN's Master American Dramatist award include Arthur Miller, John Guare, Sam Shepard and David Mamet. Last year's "master" recipient was David Henry Hwang while the mid-career award went to Marcus Gardley.
Durang's plays are often farcical and dabble in the absurd. His best-known works include "Sister Mary Ignatius," "The Marriage of Bette and Boo" and "Beyond Therapy."
This fall, he will reunite with Sigourney Weaver on his new drama "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike," which is set to open at the McCarter Theatre in New Jersey in September, followed by a run at New York's Lincoln Center Theatre in October.
Durang was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2006 for "Miss Witherspoon."
Eno's play "Thom Pain (based on nothing)" was a finalist for the Pulitzer in 2005. Rapp was a Pulitzer finalist in 2006 for "Red Light Winter."
