Among the highlights, the article seems to elude that Eli Stone most likely will be returning.
I wouldn't be surprised if ES was renewed. Considering all things, ABC's relationship with Greg Berlanti, the creativity of the show, the fact it's audience has held steady during this strike season, and that it is produced by ABC Studios, I wouldn't be surprised if ES was renewed. I'm hoping.
This article conveniently never mentions the demo, which has been what has plagued Eli Stone. Viewer retention out of Lost has been pretty decent.
Tonight will be an important test to see if it really is a stable audience or if it's just the default number of people who leave the TV on after Lost.

Although it begs the question as to what all FOX has to fill it's schedule next season. Out of the four new scripted series they introduced, NA is the only one that has drawn anything remotely resembling decent ratings.
SCC has also drawn anything remotely resembling decent ratings.

Unless it drops to under 5 million viewers for the next two weeks, I expect ABC to renew Eli Stone. After all, they renewed DSM, which was consistently bleeding viewers and is apparently quite expensive to produce.
Unless there is a huge ratings turn-around, FOX will cancel NA and renew TSCC.
I see Fox having the same Monday as this midseason with House and a new drama on Tuesday and Bones and a new drama on Fridays. I see Til Death and Back to You surviving on Wed. with Kitchen Nightmares returning at 9. Sundays will be the cartoons and Thursdays will remain gameshows.
