Upton's golden arm a boon for Rays
Maddon pleased with center fielder's quick charge to ball
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
"I was talking to Ron Roenicke, the bench coach of the Angels, [about Upton's arm] and Ronnie's a real hard grader, trust me," the Rays manager said. "Maybe one of the toughest I've ever been around. And he said, 'That's an 80 arm' -- 80 being the highest grade. Coming from Ron Roenicke, that is extremely high praise."
Last season, the Rays had another imposing arm in the outfield in Delmon Young, who played right field. Maddon said Upton has a stronger arm than Young and "always did."
Reporters threw out Vladimir Guerrero's name as someone who might have a stronger arm than Upton, and Maddon smiled: "Vlad used to be that. I don't think Vlad has that giddyup like B.J.'s got right now. You get over 30 and it's hard to maintain that."
Maddon was asked if Guerrero showing off his arm had taken its toll, and he shrugged his shoulders.
"I think anybody with a good arm likes to show it off," Maddon said. "Every guy you've ever seen with a good arm likes to show it off."
Upton conceded he does enjoy showing off his arm.
"But you have to be smart, man," Upton said. "You've got to save your bullets for when you need them. Obviously, some plays you're going to need it more than others."
There are two enjoyable facets of having a golden arm, one is actually throwing out a runner and the other is watching a runner hold up out of respect for your arm. Upton said he enjoys both equally.
"Throwing a guy out is fun, but to see a guy hold up because there is a chance he could be thrown out is big," Upton said.
In addition to Upton having a strong arm, Maddon said the Rays center fielder has learned to charge the ball well and get rid of it quickly.
"Even if you don't have the greatest arm in the world, when you charge the ball and get rid of it quickly, you will stop runners," Maddon said. "And you don't want to challenge runners into running. That's not the point.
"You don't want to try and show off your arm and say, 'Go ahead and run, I'm going to try and throw you out.' I would much prefer the way where you come after it quickly, get rid of it quickly and stop them. Don't even let them think they can. That is the right way to play the outfield. B.J.'s been doing a great job coming in on balls lately. I really like the way he's been charging the ball. He's getting rid of it on a low feed to the cutoff man. It's beautiful."

Discussion in 'Science and Technology' started by RAMA, Nov 28, 2012.
If he's seriously planning on doing this, it's going to take a lot of work and a lot of hiring...
Speaking about bugging out--did anyone catch this last night?
Here, the ponderous, multinational, big goverment craft is the one that worked where the one-percenters were blown all to hell on the anti-matter upstart.
I think Rand Simberg probably fainted when he saw that one--and then fired off a nasty poison pen--er--stylus. Savior I was probably another of "kiss-of-death" Gary Hudson's ideas http://www.transterrestrial.com/?p=46291&cpage=1#comment-296310
Seriously, though, the more the merrier. I might want different ships to go to different destinations--although it might be best to have the rag tag fleet to draw from. At any rate, anti-matter production (even more so than nukes) is a Manhattan Project scale undertaking that would bankrupt even Gates.
In other news, Alabama's own version of ENTERPRISE character Trip Tucker (i.e. Travis Taylor) will also be back:
National Geographic has been running a lot of bizarrely bad programs lately, I guess their version of SyFy original movies, especially the one where the Earth stopped revolving on its axis.
If you're going to post tons (and tons) of links to stuff, you could at least make sure they work.
They work fine for me.
Really? cause that one for transterrestrial just goes to an empty comment page for me. some title about 20th century progressives, but no article. And nothing relating to Elon, SpaceX, or recent discussion in this thread that I could find.
In the comment section.
In case no one has mentioned it, a private company has announced a moon mission
Some interesting quotes from this link:
"I was telling people that "tumblr" site was full of nonsense."
"GS gets a FAIL on mass communications for something so EPIC."
true--didn't make spacedaily yet..
Big "admiration" for NASA noted in closing remarks.
Jeff Foust tweet: "Stern: this would not be possible without our current forward-looking space policy."
"NASA is tackling the very important and difficult challenges of human deep space exploration by developing systems including the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System. The capabilities being developed by Golden Spike compliment NASA's deep space exploration program." said MacCallum.
Maybe he was being diplomatic. Other responses:
"But they really aren't taking advantage of the Falcon Heavy."
"I have a hard time believing a Centaur will ever be integrated with a SpaceX vehicle"
"There's a bunch of others errors in this paper relating to the Dragon. It seems they've gotten no better information out of SpaceX than us amateurs. I think Golden Spike needs to go pay SpaceX for some mission analysis. That's the only way they'll get real numbers on the Falcon Heavy / Dragon capability."
At about 1.4 billion...about the price of an SLS. I really don't see the savings...by Grabthar's hammer.
Some more interesting blurbs from the net:
"Even with this "head start" approach, the company will still need
significant amount of money to develop this system: Stern said they
estimate the cost to be $7–8 billion"
"But John Pike, a longtime expert on space policy who heads
GlobalSecurity.org, said he was "deeply skeptical" about Golden Spike's
business plan. "If you could do it this cheap, somebody would have
already done it," he told me.
"Landing pod looks like-Cobra Flight Pods from 1980's G.I. Joe cartoons"
"Except that the development cost is far more than $1.5 billion. Stern was clear that it would require multiple billions to get to the first mission. So your first 50 kilograms might cost $8 billion, and your second 50 kilograms might cost only $1.5 billion, or $9.5 billion for 100 kilograms. Hard to see how that is a bargain."
"And why does anybody believe these numbers? I listened carefully and never heard anybody state who did their cost estimates. Were they done by an independent assessment team that has a reputation for producing accurate cost estimates?"
This is why heavy lift matters. Had Apollo--or Constellation--been allowed to continue, you could have had real infrastructure to allow for a true moonbase with sizable rovers and an ability to DO WORK. One way or another, BEO is going to cost billions--so you might as well spend a bit more, preserve infrastructure here, and have real capabilities out there.
Apollo allowed for a pretty good haul of moon rocks that were selected in situ and by hand no less. The LEM, already pushing it mass constraint wise, was a tank compared to this contraption. A thimble too much of regolith and you're not coming back. The LEM allowed a lander which covered more ground faster than any robotic rover before or since.
GS is basically asking for its astronauts to dance barefoot atop a razor blade over the Pit... that's the margin you are talking about here.
What they are selling as their plan's biggest strength is actually a weakness. No new LV capability that will allow simpler, more robust missions farther afield like SLS for comparable amounts of money.
Therefore GS's plan is more "Flags and Footprints" than Apollo itself was--because that's all the blasted thing will hold. In retrospect--Apollo allowed more real science than GS affords.
Were I a very wealthy investor, I would launch a Bigelow module to ISS, try to inherit that for a song--and put the other 6 billion into MCT and Skylon development.
Remember, the big arguement against SLS was that it was too expensive--and an alternative could be found. Well, here it is--and many folks seem to take a dim view of that and question its savings too.
Yep, for the price of an unlaunched SLS with NO PAYLOAD, you get an entire moon mission. Sounds like a deal to me.
It's been 40 years, let it go.
Nope, You'll have a pad queen that gets launched MAYBE once every 2 to 4 years if they can find the money to scrounge for a payload. We've been over this. Seriously, put down the Kool -Aid and start looking at the numbers.
Agreed. Spend more on infrastructure like EELVs that cost a fraction of SLS and build up infrastructure in space like EML-2 and fuel depots. Get some real capabilities out there.
Your seriously going to judge their plan based on virtually no details beyond an artist's rendition of a possible lunar lander?
IF SLS were actually "comparable money" this might be true. Reality is that it will be the usual government work program over inflated costly boondoggle. NASA needs to get out of the transportation business.
Remember, this is only phase A of Golden Spike's plan.
Somehow I think the governments that run ISS would turn you down. Musk owns SpaceX, he might take your money, but your not getting the company. Good luck with Skylon.
It is too expensive and the argument is that alternatives already exist. No searching needed.
You should actually read what the folks on those forums are saying. They aren't questioning the savings. They are questioning where the investments will come from. GS is asking for a lot of money up front, but still a small percentage of what NASA would need to do the same mission.
In fact, that's why I wasn't really excited by the Golden Spike announcement on Thursday - No big investors announced with it. Just more dreamers I fear.
As the saying still goes - "No bucks, No Buck Rodgers".
The first comment I saw on it was something like, "Wow, a new startup offering vaporware and PowerPoint presentations!"
Among my problems with it is that it's too much like Apollo, designing in mission limitations during the concept stage, specifically crew size and duration. They even consider a non-pressurized lander. They might as well go ahead and paint a Red Bull logo on the vehicle because that is a stunt.
Their concept drawing doesn't include solar cells, so they're either going with fuel cells or batteries (probably batteries because they haven't committed to cryogenics, which would make off-the-shelf fuel cells an easy choice). If they go with batteries (Apollo's LM used 255 pounds of them) then they can't extend stay time and also virtually rule out re-usability and slow, low delta-V prepositioning of the lander.
People have spent forty years thinking up better ways to do a lunar return, and the internet is full of ideas for it. Although such thoughts might not be official design studies, they'd still be useful, and should at least have been looked at.
Rand Simberg was scratching his head over this proposal's listing of $100 million for crew training as a non-recurring cost.
From other.
That is all.
Better than Golden spike which will never launch--and their costs were probably on the low side anyway. No diff in the long term.
That's why I support SLS. It will fly to the moon before GS, or China I hope.
There is no way to do this that isn't costly, so you might as well get as big a vehicle out of it as possible to reduce risks.
Considering it won't be operational until 2025 at the earliest, it will probably come in dead last of a field that includes SpaceX, the Chinese and a couple of alcoholic Russians.
I'm hoping for a circumlunar flight earlier. What I try to keep telling snowjourner is that it isn't just about costs. Curiosity at over two billion cost more than a smaller Discovery class mission atop a block I sent to Europa--and cost more than an LV many times its size.
Some DoD missions atop a Titan IV rivaled a Saturn moon shot with its payload. You could have had a lot of small, Delta II launched MER type rovers for one Curiosity--but they didn't do that because of the greater capability. At the top level, size is almost irrelevant. To go beyond LEO it will cost billions. So the first GS mission isn't 750 mil-to-1.2 billion--but 7-8 billion. It's rather like what Sea Dragon inventor Bob Truax said--often an upper stage can cost as much if not more than the simpler LV under it that doesn't need as much weight shaved off.
Something that struck me. I think that the folks behind Golden Spike were really shocked when they were not embraced.
I think the idea among those who wanted an excuse to launch a lot of standard LVs was to slime SLS advocates, certain NASA centers (MSFC as being 'old hat" as opposed to understanding physics for instance) with the idea being that the same folks they brainwash into being HLLV haters would fawn over the alternatives (i.e. their own products.)
Instead, they got (almost) the same level of hostility when those concepts were at last presented.
Could it be that they did their job too well?
I think the well has been poisoned to the point that space professionals--due to all the sniping back and forth--have lost the respect of the public.
Now it is true that the best way to get your own project done is to trash the other guys'--but in the rarified air that is real-space where you hear the same names cropping up, it doesn't take much to get the average Joe to throw up his hands and walk away.
One of the comments from around the web--and this from someone who isn't much of a SLS fan:
As for SLS, I don't think it has that much of a future, no matter what NASA does. But NASA should still persevere and build Block IA (while quietly shelving everything beyond that), because it may well be the only game in town. I no longer really believe in the commercial alternatives, TBH. SpaceX has already lost a lot of its glitter and seems to me to be going downhill fast (look at the delays and customers jumping ship).
I don't know about that, but...
Evolving SLS, even under cost-plus, is nowhere near as expensive as the Saturn V was back in the day. We're no longer dealing with bleeding edge tech in many ways. What's happened since Apollo is that NASA has been steadily starved for funds and proportionally takes up less and less of the federal budget.
Like it or not, NASA is the only game in town. And since NASA's HSF is now only Orion and Orion needs SLS, we have to either support it or support NASA abandoning HSF alltogether. Which is still an option, since the UNmanned part of NASA is doing fine, and outperforming all other unmanned space exploration programs on this planet COMBINED.
And that's the danger.
Personally I also think that if Man returns to the moon, it will be with SLS...or not at all. The in-fighting alone will do everything in. This is why the dual mode of allowing Ares I to die and ceding LEO to Musk, with NASA going to BEO only is a reasonable enough compromise in this political environment.
Public/private partnerships have worked before, and will work again--if only people will allow for them to have a chance to do so.
That's a false equivalence considering that 1) payloads are not launch vehicles and 2) any payload large enough to justify an SLS launch is ALSO going to cost a couple billion dollars.
Depends on how you do it. An engineer friend of the family once told me of NASA "You can do it quickly, you can do it safely, and you can do it cheaply, but you can only do two out of the three at the same time." IOW, it doesn't have to cost billions of dollars if you take your time and build up that capability quickly, or if you use a technique that doesn't require an enormous Earth Departure Stage (say, ion thrusters or VASIMRs) you can do it cheaply and relatively safely.
The general public hasn't been paying any attention to them at all; to the extent that they had any respect to begin with, it's undoubtedly still intact.
I doubt that very much. The Chinese space program is considerably more patient and considerably less sensitive to the kinds of political mood swings that have defined the American legislature for the past ten years. The SLS will probably begin to play around with Trans-Lunar capability right around the time the Chinese launch their first manned missionm (late 2020s or 2030s).

Peralta's rare struggles end in Brewers' loss
DENVER -- Wily Peralta's first poor outing in a month came at the worst possible time for the reeling Brewers.
Burned by pair of four-run innings, Peralta put the Brewers' makeshift offense in a hole it couldn't escape. An 8-3 loss to the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday was the Brewers' fourth defeat in five games since losing Ryan Braun to a suspension.Full Game Coverage
DENVER -- Wily Peralta's first poor outing in a month came at the worst possible time for the reeling Brewers.
Burned by pair of four-run innings, Peralta put the Brewers' makeshift offense in a hole it couldn't escape. An 8-3 loss to the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday was the Brewers' fourth defeat in five games since losing Ryan Braun to a suspension.Full Game Coverage
Peralta entered the night 2-0 with a 0.31 ERA -- that's one earned run in 29 1/3 innings -- in his first four July starts, including a three-hit shutout of the Reds on July 9 that was the Brewers' first complete game in more than two years. But he lasted only 3 2/3 innings against the Rockies and allowed eight runs (five earned) on seven hits, three walks and a hit batsman.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke had another number in mind.
"One hard-hit ball," Roenicke said.
That was Todd Helton's single after Peralta issued a leadoff walk in the decisive second inning. Six of the seven hits against Peralta were singles, two of which did not leave the infield. The only extra-base hit belonged to the opposing pitcher, Tyler Chatwood, a good hitter who bounced a double just inside of third base for two RBIs.
The Brewers called it buzzard's luck. Chatwood called it something else.
"Well-placed, I'd say," he said.
The Rockies scored four runs in that inning -- it could have been worse if not for a trio of defensive gems by shortstop Jean Segura -- and four more in the fourth. Three of Colorado's fourth-inning runs were unearned because of an error charged to third baseman Yuniesky Betancourt, who was straddling the bag on a would-be force play early in the inning.
The last Rockies run charged to Peralta scored on a soft Helton single against newly promoted Brewers reliever Rob Wooten, who was making his Major League debut.
"It's just the way the game goes sometimes," Roenicke said, "but [Peralta] wasn't on his game. His command was off today, but even if it was off, if he gets any breaks, he doesn't give up that many runs. ... In this ballpark, you open it up when you walk people."
Peralta agreed that it was far from his best outing. His slider was sharp in the bullpen and in the first inning, as he began the game with what would prove to be his only two strikeouts.
When the slider began to escape him in the second inning, trouble followed. Peralta tried a changeup instead, with no luck. So he was forced to rely on his hard, heavy sinker, a workable plan when he locates that pitch low in the zone.
On Friday, there were "a lot of fastballs up in the zone. The starts before, I was doing good, because I was able to keep the fastballs low in the strike zone. So today, I didn't have my slider going, so I left a lot of fastballs up in the zone."
Chatwood set a career high with 11 strikeouts, while limiting the Brewers to two runs on six hits in seven innings. The Brewers didn't find their way onto the scoreboard until the sixth, when Norichika Aoki delivered an RBI single and scored on a Logan Schafer groundout.
"I was with [Chatwood] a little bit with the Angels, and I saw him some," said Roenicke, a former Angels coach. "His fastball is the biggest difference. Then, his fastball was really straight. He always had a great arm, always was 95 [mph], but really straight. He's got really nice movement on his ball now."
Carlos Gomez added a long home run in the ninth inning off Rockies reliever Manny Corpas.
Roenicke has talked a lot in recent days about the importance of the Brewers -- playing without Braun and the injured Aramis Ramirez and Corey Hart -- cobbling together quality at-bats. Roenicke awarded his team a passing grade and praised Chatwood.
The right-hander has allowed two runs or fewer in 12 of his 14 starts this season.
"His breaking ball was filthy," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "His curveball was really sharp, fastball was explosive and down. Got the slider that he's got a lot of confidence in now. So he was really good."

Ode to the Beloved's Hips
Bells are they—shaped on the eighth day—silvered
percussion in the morning—are the morning.
Swing switch sway. Hold the day away a little
longer, a little slower, a little easy. Call to me—
I wanna rock, I-I wanna rock, I-I wanna rock
right now—so to them I come—struck-dumb
chime-blind, tolling with a throat full of Hosanna.
How many hours bowed against this Infinity of Blessed
Trinity? Communion of Pelvis, Sacrum, Femur.
My mouth—terrible angel, ever-lasting novena,
ecstatic devourer.
O, the places I have laid them, knelt and scooped
the amber—fast honey—from their openness—
Ah Muzen Cab's hidden Temple of Tulúm—licked
smooth the sticky of her hip—heat-thrummed ossa
coxae. Lambent slave to ilium and ischium—I never tire
to shake this wild hive, split with thumb the sweet-
dripped comb—hot hexagonal hole—dark diamond—
to its nectar-dervished queen. Meanad tongue—
come-drunk hum-tranced honey-puller—for her hips,
I am—strummed-song and succubus.
They are the sign: hip. And the cosign: a great book—
the body's Bible opened up to its Good News Gospel.
Alleluias, Ave Marías, madre mías, ay yay yays,
Ay Dios míos, and hip-hip-hooray.
Cult of Coccyx. Culto de cadera.
Oracle of Orgasm. Rorschach's riddle:
What do I see? Hips:
Innominate bone. Wish bone. Orpheus bone.
Transubstantiation bone—hips of bread,
wine-whet thighs. Say the word and healed I shall be:
Bone butterfly. Bone wings. Bone Ferris wheel.
Bone basin bone throne bone lamp.
Apparition in the bone grotto—6th mystery—
slick rosary bead—Déme la gracia of a decade
in this garden of carmine flower. Exile me
to the enormous orchard of Alcinous—spiced fruit,
laden-tree—Imparadise me. Because, God,
I am guilty. I am sin-frenzied and full of teeth
for pear upon apple upon fig.
More than all that are your hips.
They are a city. They are Kingdom—
Troy, the hollowed horse, an army of desire—
thirty soldiers in the belly, two in the mouth.
Beloved, your hips are the war.
At night your legs, love, are boulevards
leading me beggared and hungry to your candy
house, your baroque mansion. Even when I am late
and the tables have been cleared,
in the kitchen of your hips, let me eat cake.
O, constellation of pelvic glide—every curve,
a luster, a star. More infinite still, your hips are
kosmic, are universe—galactic carousel of burning
comets and Big Big Bangs. Millennium Falcon,
let me be your Solo. O, hot planet, let me
circumambulate. O, spiral galaxy, I am coming
for your dark matter.
Along las calles de tus muslos I wander—
follow the parade of pulse like a drum line—
descend into your Plaza del Toros—
hands throbbing Miura bulls, dark Isleros.
Your arched hips—ay, mi torera.
Down the long corridor, your wet walls
lead me like a traje de luces—all glitter, glowed.
I am the animal born to rush your rich red
muletas—each breath, each sigh, each groan,
a hooked horn of want. My mouth at your inner
thigh—here I must enter you—mi pobre
Manolete—press and part you like a wound—
make the crowd pounding in the grandstand
of your iliac crest rise up in you and cheer.

An all-female cast going on about romance, life's dramas and sex isn't something new — and definitely not new to LGBT audiences. Hello? Sex and the City, thank you very much.
But while SATC is famously about four straight white women who behave like gay men, Laurinda D. Brown saw life a whole lot differently.
With Walk Like a Man, Brown has adapted her 2006 Lambda Literary Award-winning book of short stories for the stage, describing the gamut of lesbian relationships, all from a black female perspective. The production gets a one-day, two-performance run this weekend in Garland.
Touted as steamy and lustful, the book version of Walk Like a Man was both erotic and enlightening. Brown brings the sexy stuff to the stage version as well, but she brings the heavy stuff, too. The play's slogan — "It's about life … not lifestyles" — touches on the comedy and tragedy of everyday lesbian life that includes topics such as "runaway youth, love and religious controversies, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, safe sex and affairs in the workplace," according to the Positive Scribe Productions' website. The site also mentions that Man is the first off-Broadway play written by a black lesbian. The cast is a variety of women of all ages and sizes, and it addresses bigger picture issues like labels and stereotypes.
The play, along with Brown's other work, Bois Don't Cry, was recently selected as part of the D.C. Black Theatre Festival held in June.
Brown may not be Langston Hughes or Tony Kushner — yet — but she's definitely making her mark in the LGBT universe of playwrights and authors. And she's capturing the attention of all the right people: Famed African-American author Zane is a fan and the Human Rights Campaign called the show a "must-see."
Just know that Walk Like A Man is heavy in displaying adult situations, thus the play isn't open to those underage. Makes sense.

Chris Brown May or May Not Have Said Beating Rihanna Was the Worst Thing Ever
Remember how Chris Brown beat Rihanna beyond recognition back in 2009 before the Grammys? It's okay if you forgot — apparently she and her dad did too.
In any case, Brown is like, totes sorry for that. Maybe.
UK tabloid The Mirror claims to have done an interview with Brown in which he expresses a whole lot of remorse for imitating Ike Turner, but we're a little dubious about the tab's claims of a sitdown with Chris. Here's why:
One, Brown is notoriously cantankerous when it comes to talking about the assault. (Remember when he threw a chair out of a 'Good Morning America' window?) Two, the quotes come off as a little more British than Breezy: "Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals."
Dude. "Row"? Things like that — and the fact that Brown usually only does higher-end press — casts a lot of doubt that this interview ever happened.
However, if it did, Brown exhibits a maturity that we haven't seen before, saying, "That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake. But she loves me — what can I say? I'm forgiven … but, yes, I worked hard for it."
At Elton John's 2013 Oscar party, Brown (who flew solo and got his flirt on) reportedly shrugged off a remark from Seth MacFarlane during the broadcast — in his opening monologue, our favorite host ever said about 'Django Unchained,' "This movie is about a man trying to save his wife from unthinkable violence. Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna put it, a date movie."
"People attack me and criticize me, it happens all the time," Brown lamented.
"But they don't know me, and they don't know us. It doesn't bother me anymore … people can judge us but they don't know anything."
Other than, you know, that one photo.

Here's my story. I'm twenty-five years old, and about a year ago I was running five miles on a regular basis, at an 8.5 mph pace. When playing soccer one day, I had an ankle injury, and stopped running for about three months. Then winter came, and I stopped running for another three months, so I was off for about a total of six months. During that time I also went from working a full time job where I was standing/walking 90% of the time, to an office job where I sit 90% of the time. Anyways, I bought a treadmill and started running again about three months ago. The problem is, I'm making really slooooooow progress now, way slower than I used to. When I started running about three months ago, I could only do 0.65 of a mile at an 8.5 mph pace. After three months, I've only improved to 1.20 miles at a 8.5 mph pace. I run regularly every other day. Once I hit my limit at 8.5 mph, I slow my pace down to 7.5 mph and try to do a total of 3 miles.
My question is, why can't I run like I used to anymore, and make progress as fast as I used to? I mean I used to be able to add a mile per month to my runs, at an 8.5 mph pace, easy, but not anymore. The only thing I can think of that's changed is my job. Like I said, I now sit 90% of the day instead of walk/stand. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Were you able to get your running mojo back eventually? Any other ideas why I can't seem to make much progress? Thanks ahead of time for any input.

My advice? Slow down. You were running about a 7:00/mile pace, and now you're trying to do it at about an 8:00/mile pace. If you can't go but less than 1.5 miles at your pace, you're going too fast. The office work and six months off may have something to do with it, too, but I think the problem is more in your pace than in your day job.

Get a drafting table instead of a desk and stand up when using computer. I work in an office but never sit down.
After a 6 mo layoff it is just like starting all over again. Forget about what you used to do.

You're approaching this backwards. You don't race every workout to see how long you can keep up a high speed (or speed that USED to be right for you). Rather, SLOW DOWN to say 6mph and run further. It is the total time/distance you spend running that will, in the end, allow you to eventually return to your former fitness.
You're not getting much of a beneficial workout not being able to run more than about a mile. SLOW DOWN to a truly easy pace, cover 3-4 miles. Do this every other day...then add at least one more day into the week. Over time you will find that you can speed up at the same effort.
This is one of the most common mistakes made by newer runners. Fortunately it is also an easy fix.

Agree with all that has been said.
With regards to your job--prolonged sitting has some other untoward effects that may affect running as well---people can end up with weak glutes and tight hamstrings, and it is certainly associated with weight gain. Sitting has also been independently associated with poorer health outcomes. There was an interesting study not too long ago that the negative health impacts of sitting persisted despite exercise. (Keep in mind these outcome studies have all the limitations of most other observational studies--lack of causation, difficulty with controls, etc.) I still agree with the other's though: sitting probably isn't your main issue.
The other types of jobs I think make training effectively more difficult are shift work type jobs, especially with regards to circadian disruption. It doesn't mean that you can't run well with these types of jobs, but copious evidence demonstrates that abnormal day/night sleep patterns have health consequences. (Unfortunately, not very comforting to those of us with those jobs...)
Age 25 maybe be the tipping point. Older, desk job, start thinking about family, metabolism slows down, etc.
How much weight have you gained? Are you ready to move up to the next pant size? This is the voice of experience talking.
But as others have said, you can instead try running slower, for longer, and thus you will be burning more calories overall to keep fat away. Getting your muscles back in shape. And maybe delaying the illness of old age that I mentioned above
Another point, I find that when I start a treadmill run, I cannot run my normal pace right away. I usually start at 5.5 MPH (close to 11 minute miles), then slowly speed up as I get more comfortable. Only after 2 or 3 miles can I comfortably run my "normal" pace of 8:45 - 9:15 minute miles.
I don't seem to have this issue on the road. So something to think about

Wow thats depressing...I didn't know 25 was the new old age. Most marathoners don't peak until their late twenties early thirties. Heck in ultras you don't peak until your mid-thirties. I would suggest looking at your diet as I'm sure you weren't focused on it while you were inactive. So a change in your diet may affect your overall lifestyle and physical health. Also think about your muscular systems. You seemed to be very strong and active, running and playing soccer, but after that period you probably lost that body composition. Look into developing a core routine and some weight lifting (squats, lunges, clean, presses) so you can build up your running muscles to run the pace you want all while developing greater endurance through repeated efforts
Was just pointing out that after college age, many people find they have to work harder to keep up a level of performance they used to take for granted. It is a normal part of aging.
Who it happens to, and when, can vary.
It's not.

The biggest effect of one's job on running is mental stress. If work stress gets into areas that would be considered abnormally high for you, the stress hormones can effect your body in a detrimental way. Some runners will see a regression in pace at the same HR when things get nuts at work and home. In these periods, a certain amount of exercise is good, but your normal training load might be too much, and cutting back can help you get out of regression. Everyone's different in this regard. Everyone handles stress in their own way. One person's delightful challenge is another one's ticket to a breakdown.
Log & Profile Crusted Salt #210
I ran in college but did much better from 25 to 34 than 18 to 24. Desk jobs are actually pretty good--try doing 8 to 10 hours of hiking or fence building at 9000 feet in elevation while trying to train for marathons (which is what I did at 25). Well that was actually quite fun. I tended to feel best in grad school because I had work but also moving around a lot during the day, maybe just a few hours a day at a desk. Been a desk jockey for most of years since the late 1990s. Yes, stressful jobs take a lot out of you and the stress hormones af an impact. Weight gain (or loss in extreme cases) is one of them.
In addition to your running take a break twice a day or so. 15 minute walk. Pretend you are still in college and you're walking to classes. Watch your diet and keep running. Easy days easy, hard days, harder than easy and mix them up.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. What I seem to be hearing a lot of you say is to run longer distances, at a slower pace, get in better shape that way, and then I can start speeding my runs up, so I will try that and see how it goes. I'm also going to start training my legs harder with weights at the gym. I've kind of been neglecting that lately, and when I was running so well before, I was also working out my legs more at the gym.
Thanks again for for the great feedback all
Demon of Bad Decisions
The biggest effect of one's job on running is mental stress.
As someone who works on their feet everyday, anywhere from eight to sixteen hours without a break, I say you are out of your flipping mind. At the end of the day my legs are swollen and my feet feel like they have had a hammer taken to them. If I don't run in the morning there is a very good chance that I won't be running in the evening. It makes doubles impossible since I would never sit or recover between the two runs. The only plus I can see from this is that as an ultra runner I am competing against people that sit on their asses all day and then go for long runs. My body is used to being up and moving for long stretches. I have to believe that helps.

Maybe there are just too many windows 2000 and pirated windows xp machines out there.
Businesses are sticking with Internet Explorer 6 to prevent employees from wasting time on Facebook. At least, that's the word from Microsoft. Microsoft Australia's chief security adviser has said that customers are holding on to the nine-year-old IE6 because it doesn't properly render Facebook and other non-work-related sites …
Maybe there are just too many windows 2000 and pirated windows xp machines out there.
...offer everyone running Windows 2000 and earlier a free upgrade to XP.
There's loads of them still out there.
I actually downgraded my XP laptop to Windows 2000, because it was slurring badly under XP and was getting worse with later service packs for reasons unknown. Under Win2K it was much more responsive, even if my service pack procedure involves slipstreaming the CD and a full hard disk wipe before install.
Linux. I plan to put Linux on it once my Microtek scanner becomes supported.
I have all the "free" upgrades to XP, Vista, and Win7 I could ask for as part of my employer's Campus Agreement with MS. But I still run Win2k because it remains the best GUI interface Microsoft ever put on their OS. XP/2k3's is too cushy and crayola-inspired, Vista/Win7's is too shitty. So I stick with Win2k and hope that someday some bright soul will build an Explorer replacement for Win7 that looks and acts exactly like Win2k. Then I'll think about upgrading.
Looking up the usage statistics suggests only ~0.5% Win2000, compared to ~7% IE6. So the overwhelming majority must be on XP computers with outdated browsers, probably corporate installations like the one I'm posting from now. Fortunately I have the choice between outdated IE and outdated Firefox, though.
..that it will need to come with free Bay City Rollers flexi-disks too?
You can make XP/Vista/7 have the old school explorer bars that 2K has.
...you run XP but with the Classic GUI theme? Much better OS, same old look ;-)
I did that myself for a LONG time (I still can't stand XP's default Fisher Price GUI), until I finally got Win7 and got used to that.
"Part of my job is to get IE6 share down to zero as soon as possible,"
Use Patch Tuesday to set every IE6 user's homepage to http://getfirefox.com?
simply block everything. Block outgoing traffic from work PCs, and problem solved!
Sometimes they'll provide a proxy, which only allows you to surf authorized sites. All the others are banned. :(
Why not add a one liner to the Host file or DNS server?
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
Will some corporate network techs please add the following
Facebook IP addresses to their firewall...
If only all life's parasites were so easy to thwart...
If you look at the wording, it seems that Microsoft have basically, and finally, admitted that IE6 is basically a bit rubbish. My old XP box with IE6 got IE7 (and now 8) pushed out through Automatic Update ages and ages ago but these corporate types don't like that sort of thing.
So, people are applying Microsoft patches to close security flaws yet leave the biggest one of all sitting right there for people to use every day? Is there a way that Microsoft can deny Windows Update downloads and installations for any machine on which IE6 is detected? That would speed up the process of killing it if you force people to download IE7 or 8 manually.
However, sticking to IE6 is no solution. As others have stated, it's ridiculously easy to block access to Facebook etc. There is a very inelegant way to force HOSTS file updates across a Windows domain without using Active Directory, and there's also firewall rules. No need to spend a fortune on filtering software.
"Apparently, that's simpler than buying web filtering software or developing legitimate security procedures." - yeah, for the countless lazy-arsed executives of the world. Thanks again, Microsoft!
Download Firefox portable and you can render any site allowed by the firewall/proxy fascists (*). And the beauty of all this is it doesn't interfere with the corporate desktop. I post anonymously because I always do this at work irrespective of the version of IE they offer. I'm not at all interested in facebook, twiter and other stuff like this, I just want to show my sympathy towards Mozilla by boosting their stats.
*) I use to call those guys like that because sometimes their policies are really dumb, like for instance blocking YouTube but allowing streaming from other sites or like blocking flightgear.org with a message mentioning something about hate speech sites.
Ah I see, choosing how the Internet connection THEY provide for WORK purposes is used - and not abused - makes them fascists does it? Apart from the time wasting there are legal implications for companies with letting employees loose on unfettered Internet links.
Hell I bet you hate them for making you turn up for work in order to get paid too, eh?
Microsoft released that IE6 turd into the world and now they can't flush it to make room for their newer greasier IE8 turd. Serves them right.
By the time they release IE9 they'll have such a cluster fuck of different versions on their hands each with different fragments of their market share, they'll have no choice but to pack their browser business in altogether and admit failure.
IE6 wasn't a turd when it was released something like a decade ago, if you compare it with the competitors back then.
MS try very hard to make users update to newer versions (IE8 is pretty good to anyone who can be objective), not their fault users are too lazy or stupid.
It was a popular turd because IE5 and IE4 were so awful, but it was still a turd.
The problem was that a lot of websites at the time were created so that they "required IE5 or better", even though they worked fine if you used something to fake the browser ID.
Back a decade ago, where was Firefox? Not born for another two years, that's where. Back then, AJAX and 'web 2.0' were faraway dreams and Altavista/AskJeeves were the best browser. I remember using Netscape Navigator & IE6 and I don't remember Netscape being any better.
"Businesses are sticking with Internet Explorer 6 to prevent employees from wasting time on Facebook."
It has been said already: firewall rules, host lists.
Microsoft IE senior director IE Ryan Gavin has said that it's his job to "kill" IE 6. "Part of my job is to get IE6 share down to zero as soon as possible,"
Instead of coding for IE6 web devs should simply detect IE version and inform the user that the website will not render correctly and that their browser is broken and obsolete and needs to be upgraded. Of course in the interests of usability a link should be provided to download Firefox.
I have persuaded two of my clients to adopt this position. If web devs can work in unity on this, IE6 will be dead in less than a year. Perhaps charging the client extra for developing IE6 specific code will help hurry IE6's demise.
I see IE 6.0 in a completely different light!
What kind of Corperate idiot thinks the stopping idiots reading facebook outweighs the disadvantage of being the target of every drive-by download in the last 10 years?
Here, we just block it a the proxy (And you cant get to Teh Internets via any other means). Easy.
They probably actually believe it.
Inconsistent page rendering across versions makes living with IE of any version a right royal pain. I just wish people would stop developing apps that only run in IE! Particularly when they only run in a particular version of IE! If it wasn't for a company-wide need for the darned browser we'd have probably switched years ago.
IE6 is thankfully dead and buried in our organisation but we still have IE7-only stuff strewn all over the place. IE7 is definitely going to become the new IE6, figuratively speaking.
Grr, rant, gnash!
instead of archaic workarounds, or expensive solutions to blocking facebook et al, find the staff that are spending all day on it rather than working, then sack them.
@PirateDave - Google for "Directory Opus" - its how windows explorer should have been done... not the monstrosity that is in W7
"Instead of coding for IE6 web devs should simply detect IE version and inform the user that the website will not render correctly and that their browser is broken and obsolete and needs to be upgraded."
I couldn't agree less. Web devs shouldn't have to code for specific browsers but should write compatible code. Not all browsers are available for all platforms so it may not be possible for users to "upgrade".
is that the kind that runs on browsers with proprietary non-standard rendering or do you mean W3C standards compliant code that will run on all standards compliant browsers?
My point is exactly the point you raised: "Web devs shouldn't have to code for specific browsers..."
But we do or do you not use <!--[if IE]> <!--[if !IE]> tags so that standards compliant code will render correctly? I presume you are a web dev and thus know what is being said.
I am suggesting we don't code for different browsers, but code to W3C standards and that broken non-standards compliant browsers be ignored. However a broken page appearing in IE6 looks like sloppy coding unless the user is told why the page does not render correctly.
ps it's adnim but you can call me what ever you like ;-)
Corporate webapps and content management systems that were written in the early 2000s frequently declared their pages standards-compliant (!DOCTYPE). Similarly, documentation for applications was commonly supplied in HTML format. At the time the dominant browser was IE6 - over 90% share, especially within companies - and these applications were only tested with it. They couldn't be tested with any standards-compliant browsers because there weren't any - Mozilla was still stuck in development hell and Konqueror just a minority browser on Linux.
The HTML in these pages is not going to change. Companies don't have the resources to replace their webapp if it's functionally working correctly, or the migration path could be very painful. Documentation for older products (particularly HTML Help) obviously isn't going to change for those products, and upgrading the product just to get help compatible with a new standard browser isn't going to happen.
What these customers need is a browser that is fully, 100%, compatible with IE6 for their legacy sites AND standards-compliant going forward. MS broke compatibility with IE7 and while IE8 has and IE9 will have IE7-compatible modes, IE6 compatibility isn't available.
The fact that the browser is a problem may also blocking upgrades to Windows Vista and Windows 7.
A lot of web authors have to wake up and start treating the web as it is, not as they'd like it to be. The browser with the largest share is IE8 and it's the one growing fastest. Including compatibility mode in IE8's share is appropriate - it shows the installed base of IE8, and compatibility mode is only going to be recorded on sites that appear in Microsoft's list or where the user has pressed the compat button. NetMarketshare could do those sites - who are HitsLink customers after all - a favour and tell them that they have problems.
er...and shat too!
I still run Win98se on my desktop with IE6 and it's solid.
I have an XP machine for work with IE7, it's tempramental and I can't use it for private purposes.
I have a Vista laptop with IE8 for my home business......I can't use certain online applications on that machine because they're not supported by IE8. Oh, and Vista can suck a fart out my arse too! In so many ways I prefer Win98se because it does what I want it to do. XP and Vista second guess too much and are too controling, Vista is a total twat for sucking sooooo much resource out the laptop, it's as though I upgraded my machine for the sake of the OS and gained fuck all performance benefit.
Computers eh? Here to make life easier or basically be electronic crystal meth, hook us up, draw us in and make us so dependent we'll pay companies and developers huge amounts for a half working pile of shit we need to patch constantly to keep it from being a total pile of shit until some PC component manufacturer wants us to have an upgrade on the kit too to keep the pile of shit running at a margionally increased speed....until the software developers suck that performance out with the next half working hog pile of shit.....rinse, repeat, bend over.

Oregon once again had a stellar year on the field under the guidance of head coach Chip Kelly. Under his prescription for success, the Ducks have played in four straight BCS Bowl games, winning the last two handily. They will certainly be in the top three teams in polls when the final rankings come out. And they bring back most of their team for 2013.
Which begs some questions: Why are the Ducks ranked at No. 42 in the current recruiting team rankings for the Class of 2013? Why are they ranked No. 8 in the Pac-12, behind such teams as Washington, Cal and Utah?
The answer is a mix of things. Small class size this year will hurt them in team recruiting rankings for sure. The NCAA investigation, despite looking positive for the Ducks at the moment, until it is settled will still being used against them in living rooms across the country.
But one of the biggest albatrosses on the Duck recruiting neck was solved this weekend as Oregon head coach Chip Kelly, seemingly the hottest commodity on top of the coaching search boards of northeastern NFL teams, chose to remain as Oregon's head coach.
The 2013 edition of Kelly-to-the-NFL resulted in a mercifully swift conclusion to a saga beginning months ago, as whispers and message boards invoked Kelly's name every time an NFL head coaches' job appeared in jeopardy. The longer the NFL/Kelly courtship continued, the more adverse impact it was capable of on the recruiting trail.
Some players on the team itself were insulated from it, as certainly was the aim of the Duck staff. Sophomore linebacker Derrick Malone said in the locker room after the win over Kansas State "I just found out about it a few hours ago so I haven't really thought about it that much."
Recruits, however, were very aware. If they somehow hadn't heard, schools competing with Oregon for a player educated them.
Before Chip Kelly's decision, Duck Sports Authority spoke with Florida commit OL Cameron Dillard, a player the Ducks recruited and are still very interested in.
"Is Chip Kelly going to stay at Oregon?" Dillard responded when asked if he still had any interest in the Ducks.
Undecided athlete and serious Oregon target Juwaan Williams was well-aware of the situation this weekend.
"I've been following it and doing my research on it," Williams said. "It's something you can't help but look into."
Chip Kelly himself cannot be faulted for his handling of the job offers. He did not discuss them with the media until after the bowl game. Classic Kelly focus-on-the-upcoming-game move. He let his agent handle the situation until after his team beat Kansas State, then became directly involved.
The best thing he did for Oregon was staying head coach. He is a winner and everybody knows it. But for the recruiting class of 2013, the best thing Kelly did was end the drama as swiftly as possible.
The Ducks only have 13 committed recruits at this time and look to take around 20 this year. That leaves in the neighborhood of seven, maybe a few less, recruits all committing in the next 30 or so days. Many schools are more or less full. In other words, much upside potential for their recruiting ranking.
How the Duck coaches close the deals in January will determine how this class stacks up. But Chip Kelly making his decision within days of the end of the season gives them a much better chance at success.

A "superproject" could benefit from Amendment 82 - a voter-approved funding mechanism that would let the state borrow up to $235 million to cover a company's start-up costs, with the Legislature's approval. Voters in 2004 gave legislators the authority to take on such debt after the state lost a truck manufacturing plant to Texas. The project could be revealed as early as Tuesday, when Beebe will make a "major economic development" announcement at the state Capitol.
"It's going to mean a large number of high-paying jobs," says Grant Tennille, the director of the state's Economic Development Commission. "The kinds of jobs that help to build communities."
Beebe already has access to nearly $40 million in a "quick action closing fund" legislators first approved in 2007. He's tapped it for a variety of smaller projects and this month asked the Legislature to add $50 million.
With the Amendment 82 money, Tennille said, the governor is now trying to land an "advanced manufacturing facility" that would attract a cluster of other businesses, such as companies providing materials or services.
"Every state in the union wants to land one of these kinds of projects," Tennille said, adding that there are typically only two or three such projects of this scale throughout the country each year.
Over the past decade, Arkansas tried to land Toyota plants of similar value, but both went elsewhere.
In 2007, Arkansas offered a $200 million incentive package for a $1.3 billion Highlander SUV plant that was eventually built at Tupelo, Miss. Mississippi put up $296 million and also had an edge because of air-quality worries in the Memphis, Tenn., area. Half of Arkansas' incentive package would have been covered by a budget surplus.
In 2003, Toyota put a $750 million Tundra truck plant in San Antonio the same day legislators debated a $56 million incentive fund. The next year, Arkansas economic development officials cited Arkansas' failure to land the plant when pushing for Amendment 82's passage.
Beebe and economic development officials say Amendment 82 is the best way to bring to Arkansas such a massive project that will create many jobs and spur further economic growth.
But aside from a rough sketch of the project's scale - in his State of the State address Beebe described the project as "one of the biggest" Arkansas had ever seen - few other details have been released.
Tennille's office has scheduled a Tuesday news conference for a "major" announcement but wouldn't say whether it would involve the project for which Beebe is seeking Amendment 82 financing. Beebe is scheduled to appear at the news conference along with "local and company leaders."
The state began working on a major project about a year ago when the company approached Arkansas and several other states with their plan for a new facility, according to Tennille.
He said that the company considered Arkansas because of, among other things, its geographic location and its manufacturing workforce.
"Our position on the map was highly desirable," he said. "For the kinds of jobs that we're talking about, we've got a ready workforce, particularly with our two-year colleges able to get people the specific skills needed."
To land the plant, many states can offer a number of financial incentives to make themselves more attractive. Arkansas can borrow money with the Legislature's approval and pay it back with either general revenue or a specially-designated source of revenue.
Under Amendment 82, the amount of the bonds is limited to 5 percent of the general revenue the state collected in the previous year. That means that this year legislators could authorize the state to take on up to $235 million in debt for the project.
Tennille declined to say how much financing the Governor would ask the Legislator to approve. When Amendment 82 was being debated, economic officials said a $100 million incentive package amortized over 20 years at 5 percent interest would cost the state about $7 million annually.
Tennille said the state is still negotiating with the company over a proposal and the letter of commitment, both of which are required under the Amendment.
Once those documents are finalized and the state's Economic Development Commission and Development Finance Authority agree to the plan, the Governor will give lawmakers a formal proposal.
The Legislature then has a 20-day window in which it can seek a third-party economic evaluation of the project before voting on the authorization of bonds.
If the Legislature were to decline authorization of the Amendment 82 bonds without finding another way to provide startup funds to the company, the state would likely lose the project, Tennille says.
"There is more than one other state waiting in the wings, and I would predict that the project would be announced very quickly somewhere else," he said.
Legislative leaders said last week that whether they support the project would depend on the specifics of the proposal.
Kathy Deck, director of the Center for Business & Economic Research at the University of Arkansas, says that while it's difficult to measure the impact of an economic project without knowing the nature of it, an investment in a company that attracts additional businesses, such as other components of its supply line, would certainly have a multiplying effect.
Part of the initial economic impact will be determined by how much of the company's capital investment is spent within Arkansas, pointing out that $1 billion represents just for under 1 percent of all the economic activity in the state.
Still, Deck says, creating new manufacturing jobs would be a welcome announcement in a state that has lost many jobs in that sector over the last decade.
Although employment in manufacturing jobs in the state ticked upward last year, the number of manufacturing jobs in Arkansas has plummeted by more than 25 percent over the past decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"We still have a workforce that has skills in that sector, so I think our workforce would be ready for whatever kind of manufacturing project is announced," she said.

Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Has Carine, Jean Paul, and Mary-Kate in His Corner
Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld gathered his always interesting mix of fashion and art friends together in the Lower East Side last night to debut "The Martus Maw," an exhibition of sixteen mixed media pieces from the French artist Nicolas Pol. It was the fourth presentation from Feedback, the art firm Vladimir opened in 2008.
The space he chose was a former packing plant, and the meat hooks dangling from the ceiling presented an interesting counterpoint to the neon-accented pieces and the glam crowd sipping champagne to tunes from DJ Nick Cohen. The event was thrown in conjunction with RVCA's artist network, and fittingly, friend of the label Erin Wasson came out to rub shoulders with an otherwise Euro-heavy set that included Stavros Niarchos, Daphne Guiness, and Olympia Scarry.
Vladimir's mother Carine practically stole the show, however, when she arrived wearing head-to-toe lace and a black cape with Jean Paul Gaultier in tow. Once the preview wrapped up, a select few headed over for a meal at Vlad's favoritie restaurant, Indochine.

BERLIN – Concern over drug dealing activity at the Bay Terrace apartments on Bay St. prompted the Berlin elected officials to hold off on granting a tax abatement to that complex.
For the first time this week, the Berlin Mayor and Council considered tax abatements for local non-profits, which have been granted administratively in the past.
Worcester County State's Attorney Joel Todd and local law enforcement agencies officially partnered this spring to get rid of open-air drug dealing in Berlin, which was particularly a problem in the Bay St. area.
According to officials, progress has been made in clearing the drug dealing from the town, but some dealers have simply been pushed inside, some to the Bay Terrace apartments.
"We have probably more inside than any of us first thought," said Berlin Mayor Gee Williams.
The tax abatement should be held until the town is sure that the managers of Bay Terrace have done everything they can to eliminate drug dealing from those apartments, Williams said.
One individual in particular has been dealing drugs there, Williams said, and he wanted to make sure that the complex is not aiding criminal activity.
One of the conditions of approval for the low-income apartments and some of the state and federal subsidies awarded to the project was maintaining a drug-free complex.
Todd told the town council that he has been informed that the drug dealer in question has left Bay Terrace.
"Management's actually done a great job," said Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing. "They've banned four people. We've made a couple of arrests there."
The criminal activity at Bay Terrace has not been committed by tenants, said Downing, but by boyfriends, fiancés or relatives of the tenants. Anyone not on the lease can be banned from the property.
"We enforce it," Downing said. "We'll never know the person's there unless they [management] give us a call."
Management identifies problem individuals and passes the names on to the Berlin police, Downing said, who then arrest the alleged criminal for trespassing.
"We get a list of individuals one day and we're locked them up the next day," said Downing.
The state's attorney's office works to get those individuals the maximum three-month jail sentence for trespassing, which gets them off the streets of Berlin.
"The police are putting pressure on them," Todd said.
Todd meets with Berlin police every week to go over complaints and arrests, which shows where clusters of crime are occurring. The test is not whether crime is reduced today or tomorrow, Todd said, but whether crime stays down next year.
Currently, the concentration of resources on the Bay St. area has had an overall positive effect, officials say.
"You see mothers pushing strollers. You see people walking their dogs even after dark," said Todd.
Councilwoman Lisa Hall drove through the area late one Saturday night and noticed that the street was deserted at 1:30 in the morning.
"While there has been immediate responses in getting drug dealing away from the Bay St. and Flower St. area, they've relocated to Henry Park," said Williams.
"There will be crack bags," Todd said. "You'll see those scattered about."
Hall asked whether Henry Park should be illuminated at night to prevent the blatant drug dealing and using.
The town's parks are officially closed after dark, and the police patrol them for violators, Downing said.
Berlin has only 13 sworn police officers, Todd noted.
"The indoor drug dealers don't have as much effect on the town as the outdoors," Todd said.
Bay Terrace is overseen by a management company, but the question of who oversees the management company was harder to answer. The owner of the property, an organization called Berlin Community Housing, has become defunct, according to Gabe Purnell. The board of Berlin Community Housing has dwindled as members have died and not been replaced.
"Over the years, it has gone into the dirt," said Purnell. "There's no board oversight."
The town will research Berlin's relationship with BCH and determine a future track with the body.
As a way to begin some sort of communication, Williams proposed sending a letter to the management of Bay Terrace emphasizing how seriously the town takes the matter of drug dealing in the apartments.
"This is not something to consider a minor issue," said Williams.
The town council decided to hold off on the tax abatement until it could be sure the situation is under control.
"You've got leverage now. Once you do the abatement, you've got nothing," said Councilwoman Paula Lynch.

There's just something about Balthazar - good food, drinks, fun atmosphere, that keeps me coming back year after year to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, or to bring first time visitors to NYC.
My husband and I recently enjoyed our 30th anniversary dinner there. We were early and started with cocktails at the bar. I walked by a guy sipping a three-toned drink and asked him what it was. He said it was the best Mojito he'd ever had. That being one of my favorites, I ordered it too, and concur. As Mary Poppins might say, it was practically perfect in every way.
Our extremely cordial and welcoming server brought us to what I call a "canoodling" table. A round table where we could sit next to each other and canoodle. Which in our case meant eat, drink and laugh. She also brought us a couple flutes of champagne on the house for our anniversary. ;-) Excellent service.
For dinner we enjoyed the Balthazar Salad, French Onion Soup, Grilled Lamb T Bones, and the Saturday special - Short Ribs. We had been toying with ordering the Cote du Boeuf for two which is my very favorite steak in the city, but hubby had eaten steak the night before and wanted lamb. No problemo. All the food was excellent. Well prepared. There was a little too much bread in the onion soup for me, but the favor was great. Right now, Artisanal makes my favorite one. Whatever you order at Balthazar, get the frites!
Even though dinner was more than enough, and we were taking home leftovers, it was our special day so we got dessert. Profiteroles - three ice cream filled cream puffs covered with rich delicious chocolate, and my husband's favorite - Lemon Mille Feuille - a hand-formed lemon Napoleon, lemon granite and what they call lemon parfait. If you like lemon, get this one.
See you next year, Balthazar.
1. Free bar snacks include hard-boiled eggs and olives.
2. Outstanding Mojito,left, and a Margarita.
3. The seafood case en route to our table.

"On behalf of the nation's railroads, I would like to welcome Secretary Anthony Foxx to his new position at the Department of Transportation. As mayor of Charlotte, Mr. Foxx established a record that strengthened the transportation sector, and demonstrated his understanding that the nation needs a strong transportation network to create jobs. We look forward to working with him and ensuring America's freight rail network remains the best in the world," said AAR President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger.
"Through his advancement of the Charlotte Regional Intermodal Facility, the Southeast High Speed Rail corridor linking Charlotte to Raleigh, Richmond, and Washington, DC, the Charlotte streetcar project, and the LYNX Blue Line light rail system via the Charlotte Metropolitan Transit Commission and the 2030 Transit Corridor System Plan, Secretary Foxx demonstrated an understanding of the crucial role that transportation plays in the economic vitality of this country, and particularly the critical role that both freight and passenger rail play as part of our multi-modal transportation system, said Ann Canby, director of the OneRail Coalition.
Said Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO (TTD) President Edward Wytkind, "On behalf of the nation's transportation workers, I congratulate Anthony Foxx on his confirmation by the Senate as the next U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Secretary Foxx is a skilled and respected leader who understands that America's economy cannot thrive without a world-class transportation system and workforce."
Foxx, nominated last April for the cabinet position, will become a member of Amtrak's board of directors, as provided by statute.
"Amtrak congratulates Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx on his confirmation today by the U.S. Senate," said Amtrak Chairman Tony Coscia and President and CEO Joe Boardman in a joint statement. "He will play a pivotal role in providing critical federal investments for advancing intercity and high speed passenger rail projects that enhance service, improve reliability, expand capacity, reduce trip-times, and increase speeds. We also welcome Secretary Foxx to the Amtrak board of directors where he will help shape the future of America's Railroad and further improve our record-breaking financial and operational performance. As a former mayor of Charlotte, N.C., an Amtrak-served community, we believe Secretary Foxx understands that intercity passenger rail is a vital and necessary part of the national transportation network and provides mobility, connectivity, and economic development across America in rural communities, small and medium sized towns, and major cities. The Amtrak family welcomes Secretary Foxx aboard and we look forward to working with him to deliver more and better intercity and high speed passenger rail service to the nation."

Vet urges animal slaughter reforms
Religious customs associated with slaughtering animals should be adapted to take in more humane methods of killing, the leader of Britain's vets has said.
John Blackwell, president-elect of the British Veterinary Association, said the religious slaughter of poultry, sheep and cattle caused unnecessary suffering to animals.
Traditionally, Jewish and Islamic slaughter practices involve animals having their throats slit and the blood drained. But Mr Blackwell has suggested stunning the animals so that they are unconscious before the fatal cut is made.
In an interview with the Times, Mr Blackwell said British abattoirs could follow the example of the Danish meat industry, which bans the slaughter of animals which are not stunned prior to death.
He said: "The Danish unilateral banning [was done] purely for animal welfare reasons, which is right.
"We may well have to go down that route."
Mr Blackwell said the way halal and kosher meat is created, through the throat being slit, resulted in "five or six seconds" of pain for the animal.
"They will feel the cut," he said.
"They will feel the massive injury of the tissues of the neck. They will perceive the aspiration of blood they will breath in before they lose consciousness."
He told the newspaper the issue was "one of the most important on our (vets') radar."

Santana could make final Minors start this week
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
MILWAUKEE -- While Mike Minor and Gavin Floyd are still in the early stages of their rehab stints, Ervin Santana will make what could be his final Minor League start this week.
Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell said Santana is scheduled to complete up to six innings for Triple-A Gwinnett in Friday's game against Durham. If Santana gets his pitch count up around 100 and exits the outing feeling strong, there is a chance he could start Atlanta's April 9 game against the Mets.
Since signing Santana to a one-year, $14.1 million contract on March 12, the Braves have said they would not rush him through his preseason preparations. Thus, manager Fredi Gonzalez said there is still a chance Santana's debut might not come until the April 14 series opener in Philadelphia.
Minor, who was behind schedule during Spring Training because of a Dec. 31 urinary tract procedure, and Floyd, who is attempting to return from Tommy John surgery, are both in line to potentially join Atlanta's rotation at some point after April 21.
While Minor will attempt to complete three innings for Double-A Mississippi on Thursday, Floyd will be in Durham attempting to do the same for Gwinnett. The two pitchers are currently scheduled to complete four innings in piggyback fashion for Gwinnett on April 8.
Schlosser shows why he's an asset in Majors debut
MILWAUKEE -- As Spring Training neared its end and it became apparent he would begin the season at the Major League level, Gus Schlosser maintained his stoic, even-keeled approach. But Schlosser was reminded that he is human as he dealt with the nerves that he felt before making his Major League debut in Monday's 2-0 Opening Day loss to the Brewers.
Once Julio Teheran completed his six innings of work, the Braves assigned southpaw Ian Thomas to face the two left-handed hitters -- Lyle Overbay and Scooter Gennett -- the Brewers sent to the plate to begin the bottom of the seventh. As this transpired, Schlosser knew he would enter as soon as a right-handed hitter came to the plate.
"I was pretty [darn] nervous," Schlosser said. "I might have hid it well. You've got to expect it. The [veteran] guys in the bullpen told me to just keep breathing. It helped a lot."
After Gennett ended Thomas' debut with a single, Schlosser entered and promptly got Rickie Weeks to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Schlosser could be utilized as a long reliever or potentially return to Triple-A Gwinnett to fortify the organization's depth in the starting pitching department. But the Braves also recognize that his ability to sink the ball with his sidearm delivery could make him a valuable asset during the middle innings.
"It's all relative," Schlosser said of the different roles he could encounter. "You either make pitches for a hitter or you make pitches for seven innings. Whatever they need me to do, I think I'll be fine."
Fredi reflects on historic overturned call
MILWAUKEE -- Because it was something he had never experienced during any of his previous seven seasons as a Major League manager, Fredi Gonzalez said it felt like he was on the field for at least 10 minutes when he challenged first-base umpire Greg Gibson's call during the sixth inning of Monday's Opening Day loss to the Brewers.
But once he had time to review the sequence of events, Gonzalez learned that just one minute and 38 seconds elapsed from the end of the disputed play until the umpiring crew overturned the call after the play had been reviewed by an umpire in Major League Baseball's Replay Operations Center.
The decision to reverse Gibson's original ruling that Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun beat third baseman Chris Johnson's throw to first base proved to be historical. It will forever stand as the first call overturned through the use of MLB's expanded replay system, which was first utilized on Monday.
"It worked exactly the way they wanted it to work," Gonzalez said. "It just didn't feel like baseball. It felt weird. When you come out of the dugout, you're looking to protect your players, you're looking to yell at the umpire or get into a confrontation. But that never even occurred. [Gibson and I] were like two civil guys talking."
As he briefly conversed with Gibson in front of the first-base bag, Gonzalez stalled long enough for his replay coordinator Horacio Ramirez to review the play in the clubhouse and then quickly inform bench coach Carlos Tosca that the play should be challenged.
Gonzalez found it comical that some fans and at least one of his own players were confused when the challenge was issued after Tosca provided a thumb-down sign that was caught by television cameras. While a thumb-up sign might have seemed more appropriate, Gonzalez said all that mattered was that he and Tosca were on the same page.
"Does it matter what he does?" Gonzalez said. "It's something we came up with. It could have been take your hat off or whatever. That's something we came up with. It's nothing. It's just a sign."

Apollo Aims to Raise $12 Billion for Buyouts
Apollo Global Management LLC said it aims to raise $12 billion for its latest flagship buyout fund.
Speaking at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banking and Financial Services Conference, Apollo's co-founder and senior managing director Josh Harris said the firm is launching its eighth private equity fund this week.
The firm raised $14.7 billion for its previous buyout fund, which closed in 2008. The fund has posted a net 26% internal rate of return as of Sept. 30, according to Apollo's third-quarter earnings release.
Apollo, which managed $109.7 billion as of Sept. 30, has been rapidly expanding beyond its private equity business. Its credit assets stood at $60 billion at the end of the third quarter, dwarfing its $39 billion in private equity. But in terms of earnings, private equity still accounted for the lion share of Apollo's gains.
Apollo's announcement comes the day after Advent International announced it had closed on a $10.8 billion buyout fund, which is the largest buyout-dedicated fund to be launched and closed since September 2008.
