… Nuts’ a good start to St. Louis Actors’ Studio’s new season

“Nuts” is a courtroom drama that takes place in real time. Even the recesses align with the play’s two intermissions.
The 1979 script by Tom Topor provides a good start for the new season at St. Louis Actors’ Studio.
The occasion for the play is a sanity hearing in the psychiatric wing of Bellevue Hospital. The defendant is Claudia Faith Draper, a high-priced call girl accused of murdering a client. It’s clear that something strange is going on when Claudia’s stepfather refuses to shake hands with her lawyer.
Claudia is at odds with her respectable, middle-class parents because she believes they are conspiring with the prosecution and her psychiatrist to have her declared unfit to stand trial. This ploy for avoiding publicity terrifies Claudia because she knows a psychiatric confinement can be extended indefinitely.

Nothing says “lazy internet writing person” like some power rankings. So… here are some Saint Louis sports power rankings.
Sep 16, 2011 -
10. RON ZOOK AT NIGHT: RON ZOOK TAKES A RED BULL ENEMA EVERY HOUR, ON THE HOUR. PUTTING HIM IN A SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME IS LIKE PUTTING AN OLD ASIAN PROSTITUTE IN A HOUSE LITERALLY MADE OF DICKS. SATURDAY NIGHT. UNDER THE LIGHT. ILLINI V. SUN DEVILS. THIS IS GONNA BE INNNNNNNNNNTENNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSEEEEEEE.
9. The St. Louis Blues: I assume they have a season coming up? That’s all the analysis I got.
8. Jason Motte: Since the arbitrary end point of June 26th, Motte has faced 116 batters and has held them to a line of .180/.207/.207. This is the second year in a row Motte has had an excellent season. It is also the second year in a row he’s dominated after a rockier first month or two. In 2010, starting on May 15th, Motte finished out the season facing 152 batters and holding them to a .193/.258/.267 line.

ST. LOUIS > Dispute over fundraising event is settled • The Nursery Foundation of St. Louis and the Greater St. Louis Book Fair, which serves as the annual fundraiser for the nursery, announced this week they have “amicably resolved” a lawsuit over the way net proceeds of the fair have been calculated. The nursery alleged in the suit that it was damaged by a shortfall of at least $335,000. It also sought the name and rights to operate the fundraiser. An attorney for the nursery who provided the joint statement would only say the groups will continue as separate but cooperating organizations. The nursery, 1916 North Euclid Avenue, opened in 1947 as the city’s first multiracial day care for children. The fair became its own nonprofit organization in 2000 with the agreement to partially fund the nursery, which serves disadvantaged kids.

Seriously. None. The scandals have popped up like weeds in every conference, every region and countless schools, with plenty of repeat offenders. Miami is an old hand at this. Decades have passed since the last known indiscretions at The U, and as best as we can figure, the most lasting memory from that era was an ESPN documentary that romanticized the entire sordid tale, made everyone cult heroes and all we got from that was … Pause … Repeat.
We get a scuzzy grifter named Nevin Shapiro, who made his riches by perpetrating a $930 million Ponzi scheme, then decided he wanted to become a power broker in Miami athletics by providing prostitutes, cash and parties for ‘Cane players. And from his jailhouse cell he wants us to know that he was deeply wounded when the folks at Miami didn’t stand by him when the feds came down on him for bilking people out of nearly a billion dollars, so now he’s going on a vindictive “tell-all” to purge his conscious and pay back all the people at Miami who kicked him to the curb.

A federal judge in St. Louis has thrown out a lawsuit accusing Village Voice Media of knowingly allowing a pimp to advertise a teenage prostitute’s sexual services on one of its websites.
The suit filed last year on behalf of the teen sought at least $150,000 in damages. It claimed that Backpage.com, a website similar to Craigslist, knew prostitution was being facilitated on the site but did nothing to stop it.
…
The lawsuit did not list the name of the girl who said she became a prostitute at age 14. The girl’s pimp, Latasha Jewell McFarland, 28, of St. Louis, was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty in 2010 to federal prostitution charges.
…
Pedroli said websites like Backpage.com provide a “safe house” for pimps and customers to arrange child prostitution.

The incorporation papers on file with the Secretary of State’s Office says the home at 8885 Snowhill in Bel-Ridge is a charitable organization called “Yes We Can Social Club.”
Investigators with the St. Louis County Police Department think it’s something else entirely. They suspect the house could be a brothel. They recently raided the home, arresting some thirty people. No one has yet to charged with wrongdoing after Thursday’s mass arrest, but police say they’ve been told that the home features naked dancers, illicit drug use and children mixing drinks.
Fox 2 broke the story on Tuesday and got an entertaining interview (below) with the proprietor, Carmen Simmons, who says that she was hosting a bachelorette party the night of the raid. Simmons admits she’s yet to give any money to charity, but that’s only because she just opened up her doors to business in January.

A federal judge in St. Louis tossed a sex trafficking lawsuit filed by a runaway teenager against Village Voice Media, saying federal law protects websites from such suits.
The girl, identified by the initials M.A. in the lawsuit, claimed the newspaper conglomerate knowingly allowing her pimp to advertise the girl’s sexual services on backpage.com, one of its companies’ websites.
Backpage.com’s alleged actions aren’t distinguishable from “any other website that posted content that led to an innocent person’s injury,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Mummert III said in his order Monday. “Congress has declared such websites to be immune from suits arising from such injuries.”
Neither Robert Pedroli, an attorney with Clayton firm Pedroli & Gauthier representing M.A., nor Thompson Coburn attorney Michael Nepple, who represents Village Voice, were immediately available for comment.
