Our Police Protectors Chapter 5, Part 1 By Holice and Debbie |
CHAPTER V A turning Point in the System of Policing the City -- The Old Watch
Department Abolished -- Establishment of a Day and Night Police --
Chief Matsell -- A Man Who Played an Important Part in Police Affairs
-- Harper's Police -- First Effort to Introduce a Uniform -- The New
Stem Not Satisfactory -- Changes in the Law--Astor Place Riot --
Battery Park -- Growing boldness of Criminals -- Citizens Alarmed --
the Whole Force Directed to Patrol Day and Might -- Detailment of
policemen a Growing Evil -- Measures taken to Suppress it--Tables of
Arrests. The necessity of a new department in policing the city had for a
long time been forcing itself on the public mind. But, however
apparent this might have been to the politicians, that body of
enlightened citizens had neither the will nor inclination to change
the old way of doing business. And so matters dragged along until
1840. At that time the city was in the full tide of its mercantile
prosperity. George W. Matsell, in the above year, became one of the Police
Magistrates. He was a young man of some talent and considerable
energy. Born in New York, he early in life came to this city, and grew
up with the town. He was, in his official sense, the lineal descendent
of Jacob Hays, who had grown old in the public service. Mr. Matsell
soon became impressed with the necessity for a change in the watch
system, and he set himself to re-organize the old sleepy Leatherheads.
The population of the city was then about four hundred thousand souls.
The city was filled with thieves and burglars, many of them of the
worst kind. Mr. Matsell gathered some kindred spirits about him, and,
with the squad of men he had at his command, he was in the habit of
going about the city a great deal at might, breaking up many places of
evil resort through his personal exertions. Among his lieutenants were
George w. Walling, afterwards Superintendent; Robert Brownsen; W.
Stevens, late keeper on Randall's Island; and Joseph McGrath,
afterwards Captain, and later a Magistrate. Mr. Matsell's efforts showed what one earnest, fearless man, could
accomplish, and the public mind became impressed with the fact that
wheat Mr. Matsell was doing almost single-handed, and therefore but
partially and imperfectly, was of too important a nature for
individual effort, and so at last it was determined to take a decisive
step in the right direction. This step was not taken, however, until
James Harper was elected Mayor in 1844, but once taken there was no
crying halt on the onward march of Police progress and reform. Mr. Matsell was born in the year 1806, and came to this country
when but six years of age. His father kept a book store on part of the
site of the metropolitan Hotel, and adjoining Niblo's Theatre. Young
Matsell also learned the business from another bookseller, and in time
owned a store of his own on the corner of Pearl and Chatham Streets. The Municipal Police Act was passed in the year 1844, and William
F. Havemeyer being elected Mayor the following year, he at once
nominated Mr. Matsell Chief of Police, both Boards of Aldermen,
confirming the nomination. For twelve years he occupied the position,
gradually improving the Police system and enforcing strict discipline.
During this time he had to contend with the Astor Place riots,
volunteer firemen's mobs, and election disturbances. From 1845 to 1853 the Board of Aldermen had the appointment of the
Patrolmen on the force, but it being impossible to discipline the
force under such circumstances, the legislature interfered, and
designated the Mayor, Recorder and City Judge as a commission. In 1857
the State legislature passed what is known as the Metropolitan Police
Act. Fernando Wood was Mayor, and this legislation neither suited him
nor Chief Matsell. The Mayor thought it unconstitutional--as
interfering with municipal; prerogatives, and the Chief felt bound to
obey this superior officer. A conflict with the State authorities soon
resulted, a large number of the old force refusing to obey the new
Commissioners. The conflict which ensued between the State authorities and Mayor
Wood as to which was entitled to appoint a Street Commissioner to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Commissioner Taylor, was bitterly
waged, and was attended with the shedding of blood. Chief Matsell, who
took sides with Mayor Wood, had eighty hundred men stationed at the
City Hall to resist any attempt to arrest the Mayor. The story of the
riotous proceedings that followed between squads of the Municipal
Police (Mayor Wood's partisans), and the recently created Metropolitan
Police, (who enforced the commissioners' mandates), will be narrated
more fully in another place. When at last, Mayor Wood's Police were
routed by the bayonets of the military and the edicts of the courts,
Chief Matsell clung to the fortunes of his chief with an unflinching
devotion. Upon his failing to appear before the Police Commissioners
the day following the disturbances in question, in obedience to their
summons, he was tried and dismissed the force. Mayor Wood subsequently
said that Mr. Matsell has acted in good faith, deeming the Mayor his
superior officer. When Wm. F. Havemeyer was re-elected Mayor he re-appointed Mr.
Matsell superintendent of the Police vice James Kelso, on May 23,
1873. In July of the following year, when Commissioners Charlick and
Gardner were removed, he was appointed a Police Commissioner, and a
few days afterwards was elected President of the Board. He remained in
office until December 1, 1875 After that he practiced law in a quite way, giving advice in
criminal cases, his wide experience being found to be of great value.
It was Mr. Matsell who originated the much quoted phrase, "the
finest police force in the world." Mr. Matsell died at his residence, No. 230 East fifty-eighth
Street, on the morning of July 23, 1877, in his seventy-first year.
For two years previously he had suffered from an injury to one of his
feet, and this injury, becoming aggravated by a second accident,
proved fatal. The Police system was clearly approaching a turning point in its
history. Sweeping and radical changes were in contemplation, and the
old order of things was fast passing away. The system of policing the
city that had prevailed, with few changes and modifications, as handed
down from the Dutch to the English, and by these to the government
that supplanted them, was legislated out of existence on May 7, 1844.
Prior to that time the Police force of the city, as we have seen
consisted of two Constables elected annually in each ward, of a small
body of men appointed by he Mayor, denominated Mayor's Marshals, and
of a Night-Watch composed of citizens who pursued their trades or
avocations during the day, and patrolled the streets at night. This
act abolished the Night-Watch, and established a Day and Night Police. The act was suffered to remain for the time being inoperative,
lacking the official approval of the Common Council and the Mayor. The
Board of Aldermen, however, on November 27, 1844, while ignoring the
Police bill passed by the legislature subject to their approval,
adopted an ordinance establishing a Municipal Police, or Night and Day
Watch. This ordinance removed from office all Sunday officers, Day Police
officers, officers to attend the polls, officers to attend boats,
keepers of public places and superintendent of junk shops. In lieu of these, the Mayor was empowered to select two hundred
suitable men, who, with the concurrence of the Common council, were to
constitute a Municipal Police, or Night and Day Police. The following Police Stations were appropriated to the force, and
established in accordance with the above ordinance: No. 1 Franklin Market: First Ward. No. 2 City Hall: Second, third and Fourth Wards. No. 3 Halls of Justice: Fifth and Sixth Wards. No. 4 Essex Market: Seventh, Tenth and Thirteen Wards. No. 5 Corner Prince and Wooster Streets: Eighth and Fourteenth
Wards. No. 6 Jefferson Market: Ninth, fifteenth, and part of the Sixteenth
Wards. No. 7 Union market: eleventh, Seventeenth and part of the sixteenth
Wards. No. 8 House of Detention, Harlem: Twelfth Ward.
The Mayor was authorized to prescribe a distinguishing badge or dress for the members of the force, and also to prescribe such rules and regulations as he might deem necessary and proper. This ordinance, it was stipulated, should not be construed to affect the Watch department in any other way than as it rendered necessary an alteration of the Watch posts to conform to the diminution of that force by transfers into the Municipal Police. In Pursuant of the power invested in him, as aforesaid, Mayor Harper quickly went to work to uniform, or partially uniform, the corps of two hundred men which constituted the Municipal Police. This uniform consisted of a blue single-breasted cloth frock coat, buttoned to the neck, having the letters M. P. on a standing collar. This was the first serious attempt made to uniform the Police force, but it did not survive long. These Policemen were variously called "M. P.'s" and "Harper's Police." The Police offices or courts were established by ordinance, March 12, 1845, as follows:
The Mayor and Special Justices were authorized to select six City Marshals, whose duty it was to attend daily at the downtown Police Office, and take charge of all prisoners brought to the office by Policemen, Watchmen, or private citizens. For the same purpose three Marshals wee assigned to the Police office at the corner of Third Street and the Bowery, the pay of each being on dollar and fifty cents per day. It having been discovered that a number of Policemen had, by direction of the Mayor and Special Justices, performed services before they had been finally appointed, and in order to compensate them for their labors, both boards adopted a resolution granting them pay from the day on which they had assumed control of the locust. The Police of the city, by this change, consisted of three separate bodies. The Police proper, the Municipal Police, and the Watch--and the persons belonging to each of these divisions received their appointments from different sources. This was found to be a complicated and inefficient system. These separate organizations tended to excite dissension among the individuals composing them, which was incompatible with the efficiency of a well-regulated Police. The board of Aldermen again took counsel and reflected over the situation, the result being that they repealed the ordinance aforesaid on May 16, 1845, and removed all persons holding office or appointments under it. The Board of Aldermen at their next meeting, that is on the twenty-third of May, adopted the Act passed May 7, 1844. In ten days thereafter the Act took effect. The Act of 1844, as has been said, abolished the Watch and kindred departments of the City Police. In lieu of the Watch Department, Marshals, Street Inspector, Health Wardens, Fire Wardens, Dock Masters, Lamp-lighters, Bell-ringers, Inspectors of Pawnbrokers and Junk-shops, and of the officers to attend the polls (these being sub-divisions of the then Police force), there was established a Day and night Police, not to exceed eight hundred men, including Captains, Assistant Captains, and Policemen. Each ward was constituted a Patrol District, in each of which there was established a "District Headquarters." In addition to their other duties, the law obliged Policemen to light the lamps, and ring the alarm bells. The duties of the force were more explicitly defined, but such duties in no particular differ from those performed by policemen at the present time. They had, for instance, to attend fires, to preserve the peace, to report to their Captains suspicious and disorderly houses, to arrest and arraign at court offenders against the law; to protect life and property, etc. The Chief of Police, subordinate tot the Mayor, was the chief executive officer. His office was located at the City hall, in the Mayor's office. He was appointed by the Mayor, by and with the consent of the Common council, to serve for one year, unless sooner removed. The Aldermen, Assistant Aldermen, and Assessors of each Ward, with the concurrence of the Mayor, were empowered to appoint a Captain, one first Assistant Captain, one second Assistant Captain, and as many Policemen as the Ward was entitled to, whose term of office was also for one year. The Common Council, in determining the salaries of the officers and men, should not , the act declared, exceed the following sums: Chief of Police, fifteen hundred dollars; Special Justices, fifteen hundred dollars; Captains, seven hundred dollars; Assistant Captains, five hundred and fifty dollars; Policemen, five hundred dollars. The chief of Police was appointed on the nineteenth of June, but so much time was occupied in making necessary investigations into the character and capacity of persons nominated for places in the department, that the organization could not be judiciously advanced faster than as follows: On the twenty-seventh of June, one hundred and seventy men were appointed, consisting of three officers and seven men for each Ward, and, on the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth days of July, most of the six hundred and thirty men forming the complement of eight hundred officers and men were also appointed. |

But over the past two days neither General David Petraeus nor the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker have given any indication that the U.S. has a strategy to end the war that began almost four and a half years ago.
Petraeus predicted at least 100,000 American troops would still be in Iraq a year from now.
One State Department official told the McClatchy Newspapers the U.S. will still have 80,000 troops on the ground during the summer of 2009. And that figure includes only uniformed personnel, not private contractors.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this "sounds to me like a 10-year, at least, commitment to an open-ended presence and war."
When Republican Senator John Warner asked Petraeus whether the strategy in Iraq was making America safer, the four-star general responded by saying: I don't know.
Later Petraeaus clarified his statement and said Iraq "has very serious implications for our safety and security." President Bush is scheduled to address the nation Thursday night to voice his full support for General Petraeus's recommendations to continue the so-called surge.
On Tuesday Democratic Senator Robert Byrd grilled General Petraeus about why he was ordered to testify on Sept. 11th and about the military's strategy of arming former Sunni insurgents.
AMY GOODMAN: As Americans across the country marked the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks Tuesday, President Bush's top military commander in Iraq returned to Capitol Hill for a second day to urge the continuation of the war in Iraq.
But over the past two days, neither General David Petraeus nor the US ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, have given any indication the US has a strategy to end the war that began almost four-and-a-half years ago. Petraeus predicted at least 100,000 American troops would still be in Iraq a year from now. One State Department official told the McClatchy Newspapers the US will still have 80,000 troops on the ground during the summer of 2009. And that figure includes only uniformed personnel, not private contractors. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this, quote, "sounds to me like a ten-year, at least, commitment to an open-ended presence and war."
When Republican Senator John Warner asked Petraeus whether the strategy in Iraq is making America safer, the four-star general responded by saying, "I don't know." Later, Petraeus clarified his statement and said Iraq "has very serious implications for our safety and security."
President Bush is scheduled to address the nation Thursday night to voice his full support for General Petraeus's recommendations to continue the so-called surge.
On Tuesday, Democratic Senator Robert Byrd grilled General Petraeus about why he was ordered to testify on September 11 and about the military's strategy of arming former Sunni insurgents.
SEN. ROBERT BYRD: I don't think it's a coincidence that this important hearing is taking place on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. There seems to be another attempt to link in the mind of a confused public the war in Iraq to the attacks perpetrated on us on 9/11 by al-Qaeda. Is this just a big sales job? Please answer this clearly and succinctly, so that the American people can understand: is there and was there any connection between the attacks of September 11, 2001 and Iraq?
GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS: Not that I am aware of, Senator.
SEN. ROBERT BYRD: General Petraeus, Ambassador Crocker, it's getting to be like the change of seasons around here. Every few months someone from the administration comes up and says, "Just give us six or twelve more months, and things will look better."
Your argument for the surge back in January was that military success would create space for political progress. That didn't work. Now, the new buzzword is "bottom-up." You've talked about military success, but, by the President's own reckoning, that success is meaningless without political reconciliation.
Are six months or twelve months really going to make a difference on the big questions. Why should we keep giving you more and more time? Why? Why should we keep giving you more and more time, General Petraeus?
You've touted success in Anbar province. Just a few months ago, the tribes in Anbar province were shooting and killing Americans. Recently they decided they dislike the terrorists there more than they dislike Americans, so they are cooperating with us for the time being, while we give them money and arms. This recalls to my mind our policy in the 1980s in Afghanistan of arming the Taliban to fight the Soviet Union. We all know how that short-term policy hurt our long-term interest. What guarantee can you give us that the tribes in Anbar are not going to turn around and use the guns that we gave them against our troops once they feel we no longer serve their interest? Isn't that a short-sited policy?
GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS: Senator, first of all, we are not arming the tribes. We have not provided weapons to them. What we did initially is basically give a thumbs up when they asked if it would be OK if they pointed the weapons they did have -- they were already well enough armed -- at al-Qaeda, because they had come to reject the Taliban-like ideology and barbarity of al-Qaeda in the Euphrates River Valley.
AMY GOODMAN: That was General David Petraeus responding to questions from Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
To talk more about the Petraeus hearings, Arun Gupta joins us here in the studio. He's a reporter and editor of The Indypendent , a bimonthly newspaper based here in New York. His most recent article is called "Meet Gen. David Petraeus: His Militia Strategy Plunged Iraq Into a Civil War, And Now He's Back for More." Arun Gupta is currently writing a book on the history of the Iraq war that will be published by Haymarket Press.
Welcome to Democracy Now! Your assessment of what Petraeus's message was to Congress?
ARUN GUPTA: Well, I think his message is the same thing the Bush administration has been saying for the last four years, which is "stay the course." And there is no real strategy that the White House has, beyond trying to stave off defeat for the next year, so it can leave the war to its successor. And all this stuff about, "Well, you know, the surge is working, and we're going to draw it down next summer," again, it's part of the same kind of treadmill we've been on, the same rhetoric that we've been hearing.
AMY GOODMAN: Tell us who David Petraeus is. Arun, you're the first person to mention General Petraeus on our show years ago.
ARUN GUPTA: Yeah. What we were talking about two-and-a-half years ago was Petraeus's role in helping to set up the Special Police Commandos. In 2004, 2005, he was given the mission to train all Iraq military and police forces. And, in fact, in July 2004, Newsweek had this cover of him, saying that Petraeus was going to train Iraqis to take over the fight. Now, the reality is, is that was, of course, a failure, because three years later he was back with an escalation of US forces.
Now, one of the key things that Petraeus did was they decided -- him and his command decided -- that they were going to create this paramilitary force, the Special Police Commandos. They armed them. They funded them. They trained them. And they also issued the usual denials: "Oh, we're not giving them any weapons. This is an Iraqi initiative." And so, now he's saying the same thing with the Sunni militias.
So, anyway, the Special Police Commandos quickly morphed into Shiite death squads that were used against the Sunni insurgency and against Sunnis, in general, throughout Iraq. And this played a key role in terms of stoking and fomenting the civil war, because you had these death squads wearing government uniforms, being armed and trained by the US, going around killing Sunnis randomly. It generally alienated the Sunni Arab population from the government and drove them into the arms of the resistance.
Now what Petraeus is doing is he's funding and arming these Sunni militias. And there are reports that have stated clearly with these militias saying, like, "Yes, we're getting weapons from the US government." And part of it is, is that they do want to fight al-Qaeda in Iraq, which is another Sunni-based group. It's an Iraqi-based group. But their main purpose is they want this money and weapons and aid to fight the Shiite militias.
So here we have them, like in 2004, setting up these Shiite militias, and now he's setting up these Sunni militias to fight these Shiite militias. And what it portends is just an absolute disaster for Iraq. And, of course, it will also be used as justification: "Well, we can't leave because a bloodbath will result." But we're not looking at the fact that it's the US that's creating this bloodbath.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about General Petraeus and the missing arms, the missing weapons?
ARUN GUPTA: Also during his tenure, 190,000 weapons went missing. These were Pentagon weapons that were supposed to go to Iraqi Security Forces. A report came out last month stating that there was no proper bookkeeping done. There were more weapons, but what it found was that 190,000 assault rifles and handguns, along with all sorts of body armor and other military equipment, had just completely gone off track. There were no records of it kept. Such simple things as recording the serial numbers were not done.
And, of course, the fear is that this is just going to turn up all sorts of places. The Turkish government has already claimed that it has seized more than 1,000 of these guns in Turkey that are being used by anyone, from criminal enterprises to anti-government militants. And there's also reports that they've turned up as far away as Italy.
So -- and this was part of the Petraeus strategy, that he was just throwing all this money and weapons and aid at the Special Police Commandos, because they were so desperate to create a strategy to defeat the Sunni insurgency. And, of course, by the time he left his mission in 2005 of training Iraqis, there was only one battalion that was considered ready. In one year, that's what his work amounted to.
And now a report just came out, a commission set up by Congress of four retired US generals, in which they stated that the National Police, which is what the Special Police Commandos are now known as, the National Police are so corrupt, so riven with sectarianism, they're so hated by the public, the Iraqi military and other police services, that they should just be completely disbanded. And yet, none of this is being talked about in Congress or the media.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about General Petraeus's comments about Iran?
ARUN GUPTA: I don't think there is any real credibility in terms of talking about what Iran is involved with, because this administration clearly has been trying to stoke a war against Iran. And it also beggars the imagination that somehow Iran is going to be supplying groups that it's hostile with, whether it's Sunni insurgents in Iraq or whether it's the Taliban, who it went to war with in the 1990s. So I think this is just part of the administration's drumbeat to create some sort of military action against Iran before it leaves office.
AMY GOODMAN: Last question: the Democrats' questioning of Petraeus?
ARUN GUPTA: I think they missed a great opportunity, in terms of focusing on Petraeus's past record, because he's been given a free pass, that he's someone who has great credibility and impartiality, rather than, you know, really revealing that he played this critical role in stoking the civil war. But more so, you know, what we need to focus on is how Petraeus and Crocker are really just trying to play down the clock so that the Bush administration doesn't have to have a significant withdrawal, so it could dump the problem on his successor, probably a Democratic president, and then leave them the enormous burden of figuring out what to do with Iraq.
AMY GOODMAN: Arun Gupta, I want to thank you very much for about being with us, editor of The Indypendent , currently writing a book on Iraq. Thank you very much.

I had a really great weekend. Pretty sad to see it end.
I went on a few bike rides! Ate pancakes, got a tan!!!! Saw a scary movie, and hung out with some friends. Damn near perfect. I am so looking forward to more Summer and Summer-like weekends like this.

Asics Target 26.2 PB Hunter A.W
well done on the half KR and DD.
Tim - personally I couldn't cut down on my tea but I never touch coffee but it is likely that depleting yourself from caffeine will give you more of a boost when you go back but Ruth better confirm that. I find I still get a boost from the caffeine even if I have had a cup of tea in the morning.
Hi Denis, great time for you at Wrexham. I think it's a good course, but a bit exposed in parts - not unique to there but all country courses! Managed to tuck in behind a few runners where I could but yes between 10 & 12 was a bit windy. Saying that though it must have been behind on other parts! Good to see they had more marshals on the course this year to thwart the sign movers that happened last year.
Ok, think week 10 is this -
Mon Feb 18th: rest or 5M easyFeb 19th: 4 x 2000 in 7 to 7:30 starting every 9 mins (9M in total)Feb 20: 10M easy in 8 min milesFeb 21st: 7M with 3M section in sub 6:30sFeb 22nd: 5M easy or restFeb 23rd: Hills - 6M totalFeb 24th: 20M slow in 8s but a 5 mile section in 6:40sweek total: 57M
Steve..... I swapped today's and Thursdays sessions around, I hope that's ok? Reason being my calves are really tired and a bit sore today, and I thought 2k intervals might be a bit much the way I felt.
So, I did a 3 mile section at sub 6.30m/m during a total of 8 miles. I had a warm up and then ran 2 laps of Finsbury park which is about 1.5 miles a lap. The first lap came out at 6.22m/m and the second lap was 6.17m/m. Finsbury park is a bit on the undulating side, but it did feel really hard work today. My legs were tired and the run was laboured, I had to work pretty hard to hold the paces I ran.
Still, I got it done and hopefully have more energy to put in a decent reps session on Thursday!
Hi AW!
Glad you're feeling better - sorry to hear you missed your half! Hope the Spitfire 20 goes really well and we all missed you this weekend at Dorney Lakes so will be good to all have a catch up at Bootcamp 3 in a couple of weeks!
yes was wise to switch it around AW - looks a good session.
Hello RRR! Yes feeling a lot better now! It would have been good to meet with everyone at Dorney, but the need for a decent long run won as I'd not done one for a couple of weeks due to races.
These training days come around so quickly, can't believe its time to go up to Birmingham again already!!!
Felt a lot better today Steve, I think swapping the sessions round was a good call, and legs felt good.
I probably over cooked today's run. Not intentionally, in fact I didn't check my pace at all during the run, I just ran at a pace which felt comfortable and an easy pace. In hindsight I should have kept track of my pace and reigned it in, but I do feel nice and fresh still and not tired in the slightest.
11 miles completed in 7.21 m/m average pace. No problems or issues at all, it felt good start to finish.
I also think that the problem with the tendinitis on the foot is almost behind me, I have ran for the last week with no discomfort or pain while running, and after I finish I just have some very mild tenderness which is usually gone within a few hours. I'm still taping my foot and icing religiously every few hours and after running just to make sure!
Steve I just have one quick question regarding the scheduled 2k reps which I'm doing tomorrow. Last time they were scheduled it was for 5 x 2k, and this time its just 4 x 2k? Was just wondering why the number of reps decreased? Same question for next weeks reps too?
AW That's a fast run but good to hear foot is almost there.
while the speed session volumes have reduced, it's still 8km in total, which I think is enough at this time of year when the mileage has increased and this will very slightly reduce the strain on the body and hopefully the chance of injury or getting run down for sessions over the rest of the week. It will also allow you to do them very slightly quicker or at the same speed but more relaxed!
Thanks for the explanation Steve. I understand now, and I think my body is actually glad the reps have reduced a little!!!
Today's run was a good one, 2k reps are not my favorite, but I can appreciate how useful they are for marathon training. It's very cold out there today and it took me a little while to warm up, the wind was bitter and always seemed to be blowing in to my face!
Total run was 10 miles in 67.19 (I think it was actually nearer 9.5 miles, see explanation below!). the 2k reps came out at 7.36 (I think this one was slightly long), 7.10, 7.07 and 7.08.
I think my GPS was playing up a bit today, the first rep felt long and I think it was by about 10 or 15 seconds, so it was still slower than the other 3. Then for the last two it was measuring short so I was running over distance by about 0.30M.
Another hard session done and on to my hills session planned for Saturday. Steve, have you any suggestions for structure of the session? distance of rep, effort or pace etc?
Athletes always report they feel more of a "hit" from caffeine if they reduce this the week before or for at least 3 days before so although evidence does not suggest you need to do this, most athletes on the ground will say it helps. However depends on how much you "need" your caffeine in the week approaching. Even if decide not to reduce it the caffeine will have an effect (if it is something that works for you) but may have a bigger "feeling" of an effect if reduce/cut this down before.
Thanks choisty for your input, much appreciated. Here is something else you can help me with!
Over the coming few weeks the focus will be on Paris and the food challenges that may bring. The first challenge is the restaurant choice for the Friday & Saturday night. If you were going on a leisurely holiday I would suggest different a restaurant each night and of course to try the local food BUT you are here to do a marathon! So I am looking to seek everyone's honest opinion on restaurant type. My thoughts are Italian as Parisian meals are not typically carb heavy, more meat based. Last year I picked out some Italian places to eat and then sent links to you all so that you could at least know what was available and if this would be suitable for everyone, so the plan was to do something similar. I am also thinking of RRR who does not eat gluten or wheat (we had a similar issue last year but there was other choices at the Italian we ended up choosing) so I would suggest we look for something that may be Italian but some non- pasta options? Those that ate in the places I suggested last year could perhaps comment (choisty, Steve, Sam etc ) on what they think too?
I'll eat anywhere and anything Ruth!!! Italian is my favorite food so that sounds good to me!

Hi Ruth, Thanks for the pointers above. To be honest I felt stuffed after lunch as my rolls were really big, so really didn't feel like anything else. I cut down the supper because I thought I'd probably eaten more than I should have for my Evening meal - half a pizza and a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, so thought that would make up for it? Point taken about the juice, will try and up this next time, more in the afternoon and just pure juice in the morning. Will try and make it better next time, its a pity I was ill the day after as I really have no idea how I would have felt running after the days carbload. I will trial it again in two weeks before my 20 mile race. Does that sound ok?

What about reducing lunch to one roll, not two, and have a larger meal at night and no supper (as likely to happen in Paris anyway - so agree fair point about evening meal but try and stick to the rest of the plan?).
Gels: if want to have a caffeine gel as your last gel in Paris you could and the rest as non-caffeine gels. I think if you are comfortable with the GO gels then you should not have a problem with caffeine for the last 1-2 gels but this is your race and the best option is the one you feel better with.
I have a problem (or maybe not) after my long run. For example, I did 15M today and I drank a recovery drink after but then, about 45 minutes later,I didn't really feel like having lunch. I had a tuna baked potatoe but I had to force myself to finish.
Is the meal after the long run (or medium long run) critical or could I just have a snack and a bigger meal in the evening?
I wouldn't use the restaurant that we had for the last supper as they weren't happy to let us in early and the service was poor especially for nervous runners, although the food was good. But otherwise I thought the choices were excellent and would use a similar formula, let's face it we all hit target!

What recovery drink did you have?If it had 10-20g of protein and 40g plus of carbs I would have waited another 45miutes so say 90-120minutes post run before next snack as this amount of protein and carbs would have been enough for the following two hours and would have allowed you to enjoy your tattie a little more! OR if you know you are going to have a meal within 45minutes only have half recovery drink.
Does this make sense?
Choisty wrote (see)
Thanks for this Choisty. This year, once I have a short list of eating places and a vote on which ones look best, I will make sure we get a time we all want to eat at and phone and make sure! Service, unless someone on forum can recommend somewhere they have been already, will have to be on luck!
Your half marathon time was good!
Don't remember too many problems about restaurant other than it was some distance away from hotel and some felt might be best to get restaurants closer to hotel so less time travelling and people can get back easier after meal.
Great 2km reps apart from first one, which I'm sure was long - I got quicker when i did same session Tuesday but wasn't difficult as very slow to start with and really struggled.
For hills - presuming you can find longish hill of at least 400m - not too steep so the descent doesn't put too much strain on knee -
suggest four shorter efforts of 30 seconds - controlled but gradually quicker each rep starting at HM pace.
then 8-10 x long hill roughly 5k/10k pace - relaxed jog back - ideally start something like every 4 minutes if rep takes 1:30-1:50 or 4:30 if over two minutes so you have a similar gap between each rep.
then 3 x more dynamic 20 second efforts - ideally on steepest part of hill with walk jog back
and if appropriate a 5-8 minute continuous circuit with at least six ups, where the hill isn't too steep and you relax at a controlled quickish pace on descent and put the greater effort into the ups

Recipe by Kristi Talbot
"This cobbler tastes just like your grandma's but has a twist in the topping! This recipe works great with any other type of fruit as well. As with any recipe using fresh fruit, you need to taste it first to determine how much sugar needs to be added to it."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
5 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup hot water
I agree with the submitter -- tasting the fruit first determines the amount of sugar needed! While cooking fruit on the stovetop then again in the oven may benefit firm apples or pears, delicate berries do not need much heat to coax out their delicious juices. I made the simple syrup + cornstarch as directed, then poured the semi-cooled mixture over the berries in individual ramekins. At first the topping is a nicely spiced streusel, then it becomes a sticky dough once the hot water is added -- still easy enough to plunk ontop of the berries. The cobblers were golden brown after 18 min in my oven. Oh, these do bubble and sputter a bit while baking - just bake cobbler(s) on a foil-lined sheet pan to save on clean-up. Your oven will thank you.
Hi,I LOVED IT!!! (but don't forget grease the pan.) It was terriffic as desert for the "go to crawfish etufey " .All of my friend's and other's Love It!!!
9 Ratings
My husband raved and raved about this dessert, and he's not big on desserts. The only things I did different is I increased the blackberries to 8 cups and added about 1/2 cup more of flour while it was cooking, this filled the 9 x 13 pan better and made it set up better, less runny.
very good! I didn't change a thing, except there wasn't enough blackberry mixture to fit a 9x13 pan, so I used a 7x11. Also didn't have oats on hand, and it was fine without. Took this to a group gathering, and none was left!
Loved it! I split it into two 8x8 pans so I could save one for another time...not sure it will stay in freezer so so GOOD!
I made a smaller version and I did not have any pecans, but it came out amazing! Loved the oats. it was like have a crisp and a cobbler all in one!
Simple, yummy, delicious!!

Interview by Jeanette Winterson and Audrey Bilger
SOURCE: Winterson, Jeanette, and Audrey Bilger. "Jeanette Winterson: The Art of Fiction CL." Paris Review 39, no. 145 (winter 1997): 69–112.
In the following interview, Winterson discusses her approach to fiction, her aesthetic concerns and artistic development, and her preoccupation with religious, gender, and sexual issues.
"I cannot recall a time when I did not know I was special," writes Jeanette Winterson at the beginning of her fictionalized autobiography, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. And, indeed, the facts of her life have supported that view. Born in Manchester in 1959, Winterson was adopted by Pentecostal evangelist Constance Brownrigg and her husband, John William Winterson, a factory worker. From her earliest years she was groomed by her mother and church to be a missionary, and her first forays into the world of...

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Whistler Small Group Day Trip from Vancouver. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
We were met by our driver, Rene, at Canada Place and driven to Squamish where we had a brief break and then on to Whistler. He was a fantastic guide and very informative. Whistler was beautiful and Rene advised us on the "must dos" during our brief visit to this beautiful town. We had plenty of time for the Peak to Peak experience and generally wandering around this lovely town. I would definitely recommend this trip to people visiting Vancouver and who really wanted to get into the mountains. A super day was had by everyone.
The guide was from the area and very good at driving, talking and telling good stories. It was a great day trip!
Our driver greg was very informative about our trip up to Whistler. Day was cool to start with and by the time we reached Whistler the sun had come out. He gave us a map with all details and info about were the bus would be at 4pm for our return journey back to Vancouver. We had 5 hour in Whistler so we went up the Gondola 25 minutes each way . Had lunch at the self serve resturant with a view to die for. The rest of our time we came down and explored the town. The was excellent and we were brought back to our hotel were we were picked up in the morning. Big thankyou for such a lovely day
Gail F
Absolutely loved this tour and would highly recommend it. If I went back to Canada I would do this tour again. Whistler is a quaint little ski village with lots to do and see. Definitely need the time to spend there and would probably consider staying there the night next time. The views are amazing - it was not that cold as we went in summer, however, there was still ice in some patches.
Was a great tour well worth the money. Our guide was Ryan and he fantastic, he could answer every question that was thrown his way.
Our guide Peter was key to a very pleasant day. Being able to get the Peak 2 Peak lift tickets on the way up saved a lot of time and let us know what to expect timewise during our stay. From pick-up to drop off it was a very enjoyable day. Christine's restaurant on Blackcomb had food to match the view.
It was AWESOME!! Our guide -Meg- was fantastic!!! Very knowledgable and super friendly!!! Excellent!
Wonderful trip to Whistler! The hotel pick-up and drop-off are always my preference for tours. The driver Sean was fantastic, had great stories and was very personable and helpful. The drive to and from Whistler was beautiful and the peak-to-peak trip up Whistler and Blackcomb mountains is well worth the added fee.
Sean made 2 extra stops on the way back to Vancouver since we were making good time and really made it a memorable day for all of us.
The tour was excellent with the tour driver being very informative and an excellent driver. It helped a lot that we had great weather (sunny and 26C in Whistler), and the coach was comfortable to ride in. We thought the price for the tour was quite reasonable for the full day excursion. The views during and after the cable car rides and several ski lift rides that we had were incredible and we even saw a black bear under one of the ski lifts. We would certainly recommend this tour to anyone.
Our bus driver and guide, Sean, was excellent. The views at Shannon Falls were amazing and the Peak to Peak at Whistler is a must do activity! The views from up there were breathtaking.
Had my 1st Peaked Pie and it was awesome. I'd recommend this tour to everyone!
The tour Gide Samantha was very good. So many things to see in town we really enjoyed the tour.
Was a great trip and our tour guide was excellent. He made extea stops for us on beautiful locations was very informative and pleasant. A tour never to be missed. You will really enjoy up in the mountains
From the time we were picked up at our hotel, this trip was fantastic. The driver, Tim, was informative , funny, and able to answer any questions we had. Tim was very welcoming and introduced everyone as they joined the trip and also where each couple was from. The peak to peak was a very enjoyable highlight to the day. Tim went out of his on the way home to find us some brown bears and this made the trip even better.
The tour was fantastic. We had an amazing day

Jennifer Allen is co-director of the Border Action Network (BAN), an Arizona-based organization that seeks "to ensure that those who are most impacted [i.e., illegal aliens] by border and immigration policies are at the forefront of movements calling for human dignity and civil rights." In December 2002, Allen, complaining of abuses that anti-illegal immigration activists had allegedly carried out against unlawful border-crossers, stated that "undocumented" individuals "have civil rights and human rights that take precedence over defending the country." Professing BAN's determination to "challenge the growth of the anti-immigrant movement in southern Arizona," Allen in December 2003 announced that her organization would soon be filing a lawsuit to "represent the undocumented immigrants who were detained" by a vigilante group trying to protect the U.S. border. Such groups, she said "have created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation for both migrants and community members along the Arizona/Mexico border.... [W]e are witnessing outrageous … violations … [of] the civil rights of the undocumented." In June 2005 Allen announced that BAN would be filing yet another lawsuit, this time against the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD), which was in charge of administering (i.e., selling or leasing) the state's nine million acres of trust lands. At issue was ASLD's decision to renew, for a period of ten years, its then-expiring lease of 14,000 acres of state grazing lands to a Cochise County, Arizona resident named Roger Barnett. An outspoken opponent of illegal immigration, Barnett was accused by Allen and BAN of having violated the terms of his existing lease contract by engaging in "racially motivated violence" and threats against illegal border crossers. Said Allen:
"We've been like a broken record for the last three years ... calling for public officials to put an end to the hysteria and violence created by border vigilantes. And how do they respond? Well, the State Land Department's decision to renew Mr. Barnett's lease is a classic example of officials' attempts to sweep the issue under the rug…. It's shameful that our public officials ... do not have the political will to uphold the law and put an end to vigilantes. It took the U.S. Congress forty years to proclaim lynching unlawful. It's abhorrent that officials are reluctant to act on something so obvious, but we're willing to keep the fight up for another forty years if that what it takes."
In December 2007, Allen announced that BAN had produced a new report accusing Arizona police of committing "possible human rights violations" against illegal immigrants. The alleged offenses included "illegal temporary detention," "violation of the rights of due process," "illegal stopping for violation of immigration laws," and "psychological or verbal abuse."

Okay, we've all climbed and worked using a simple waist safety belt. But it is a potentially dangerous piece of safety equipment - if you fell and were caught by this belt in an upright position, the belt could be pulled up to your chest and the pressure on your diaphragm could suffocate you. The waist safety belt is no longer approved by OSHA. The OSHA compliant rig now is a fall arrest harness with a D-ring between your shoulder blades. The fall arrest lanyard is attached to it and the other end is hooked somewhere above you so that if you peel off, you're caught in a natural, non-lethal position. Since the OSHA rules only apply to persons that are doing it for a profession and getting paid, you as a ham and weekend tower jock don't have to follow their rules. OTOH being attached to a tower as your waist positioning belt is unhooked and you're moving around the tower is a GOOD THING. The other thing about OSHA rules is that you need to be attached to the tower 100% of the time; using your fall arrest lanyard as you climb is one way to do that.

Article ID: 2824716 - View products that this article applies to. SummaryWhen you configure a Host Integration Server (HIS) to connect to an IBM mainframe or iSeries (AS/400) system, you install and configure one or more link services. The link services provide the communication link between the SNA Server service and device drivers, to support SNA communication over the various link types. Once the link services are installed and configured, you need to define the actual host connections over which the SNA Server service will communicate with the IBM host systems to access the business applications. Connections as defined in the HIS configuration provide the SNA link level connection used to communicate with the IBM host system. If the underlying link service detects a problem with the physical link to the IBM host system, an outage code is generated. This outage code is returned to the SNA Server service. When notified that an outage on the connection has occurred, the SNA Server service takes the following actions: - Logs an Event 23 warning in the application event log - Cleans up the active SNA sessions on the affected connection. - Issues a Close(LINK) Request message to the link service to close the connection When a connection outage occurs, all of the active SNA sessions (LUs) defined on this connection are closed which means that the end users lose their connectivity to the backend IBM applications to which they were interacting with. Event 23 Details The Event 23 indicates that a host connection failed. The details included in the event message provide more specifics on the reason for the failure. The format of the event message is shown here: Event ID: 23 Source: SNA Server Description: Connection Failure Connection = connection name Link Service = link service name Qualifier = outage code Explanation A link service reported a connection failure to the node. See below for more information on the outage code that caused the connection to fail. TOKEN RING, ETHERNET OR FDDI 0029 The remote system is not responding to the Host Integration Server computer's attempt to activate an SNA connection. 00AE The connection has failed due to either (1) a connection timeout, due to slow response from the remote system, or (2) the remote system has deactivated the connection by sending Host Integration Server SNA Service a DISC(connect) or DM frame. If slow response from the remote system is suspected, then the Host Integration Server SNA connection t1 and ti timers should be increased. If you are connecting to an AS/400 and there are no active user sessions, the AS/400 will drop the connection if the AS/400 APPC controller "Switched Disconnect" setting is set to YES. To isolate the problem, a Microsoft Network Monitor trace (or similar utility) must be used to capture an occurrence of the failure. 00AF The connection to the remote system has been lost. This could occur due to a media error on your LAN, a failure of an intermediate bridge or router, or if the remote system has stopped responding. 00AC The Windows NT DLC driver has detected a DLC protocol error in a frame received by the remote system and has sent a Frame Reject (FRMR) causing the connection to end. Event 228 should be logged when this error occurs. See the FRMR code in Event 228 for more information describing why the FRMR occurred. 00AD The remote system has detected a DLC protocol error in a frame sent by Windows NT, and has sent a Frame Reject (FRMR) causing the connection to end. Event 227 should be logged when this error occurs. Note related to IP-DLC link services: Connections using an IP-DLC link service also log Event warnings when the connection fails. In these instances, the two outage codes that can be logged are 0029 and 00AE which have basically the same meaning as they do for connections using an 802.2 DLC link service. In the case of a 00AE outage for IP-DLC, the information regarding t1 and ti DLC timers don't apply as these are DLC specific settings. The Event 23 message when view in the Application Event log also includes outage codes for SDLC link services. SDLC outages are not discussed here because the use of SDLC link services is rare. Troubleshooting Event 23 Connection Failures In general, Host Integration Server connection failures that result in the logging of Event 23 warnings occur because of conditions external to the HIS Server system. Therefore, troubleshooting steps usually require actions to be taken external to the HIS Server. Event 23 connection outages are most common in Host Integration Server environments that use the 802.2 DLC link service to connection to IBM host systems via the DLC protocol. There used to be a fair number of Event 23 connection outages with SNA Server and Host Integration Server environments using SDLC or X.25 link services, but the use of SDLC and X.25 protocols is rare these days. The use of IP-DLC link services is growing rapidly, however we don't see Event 23 warnings logged all that often in these environments. The IP-DLC link service does log a number of its own specific event messages when it has problems with the underlying TCP/IP connections that it uses for communication. An Event 23 is likely to occur for an extended outage that prevents the IP-DLC link service from establishing its required TCP/IP sessions to the Network Node Server (NNS). For Host Integration Server environments using 802.2 DLC and IP-DLC link services, the following traces are usually required to help determine the root cause of the connection failures that result in the logging of Event 23 warnings: - Host Integration Server traces o These traces are captured using the SNA Trace Utility (snatrace.exe) - Network traces o Network capture utilities such as Microsoft Network Monitor, Wireshark, Ethereal are common used. The basic idea is to enable the HIS and network traces prior to a connection failure. Once a connection failure occurs, you will need to stop the traces as soon as possible to prevent the trace data that contains the failure from being overwritten. Host Integration Server Traces The following steps outline the Host Integration Server traces to capture for a connection outage: 1. Run snatrace.exe. 2. Click the Tracing Global Properties tab. 3. Change the Trace File Flip Length (bytes) setting from 20000000 to 200000000 (add a 0 to the default length). 4. Enable the Allow HIS Administrators to perform tracing option. 5. Click Apply. 6. Click the Trace Items tab. 7. Highlight the link service name (SNAIP1, SNADLC1, etc.) specified in the Event 23 warning and then click Properties. 8. Click the Message Trace tab. 9. Enable Level 2 Messages and then click OK. 10. Highlight SnaServer in the List of Trace Items and click Properties. 11. Click the Message Trace tab. 12. Enable Data Link Control and then click OK. 13. You can minimize the SNA Trace Utility at this point as traces are enabled. Note: If you close the SNA Trace Utility, you will be prompted with a warning dialog indicating that leaving traces enabled may impact server performance. You can click OK and close the window if you choose. 14. Once the connection failure occurs, restore (or re-open) the SNA Trace Utility window and click the Clear All Traces button to turn off tracing. You want to do this as soon as possible because the HIS traces are written to circular traces files. The data will be overwritten if the traces continue to run. On busy servers, the traces can wrap quickly. Network Traces The steps to enable a network trace depend on the network capture utility that you choose to use. Therefore, specific network capture steps are not included here. Instead, an overview of what needs to be captures is provided: 1. The network capture needs to include the data that flows between the Host Integration Server system and the IBM host system (mainframe or iSeries). If you are using the 802.2 DLC link service, you want to capture the DLC network traffic. If there are multiple network adapters in the Host Integration Server system, you need to make sure that the network capture utility is tracing the correct network adapter if the network trace is being captured on the Host Integration Server system. You can setup a filter to limit the amount of traffic being captured. If you use a filter, one option is to capture all the network traffic to/from the MAC address (if using DLC) or the TCP/IP address (if using IP-DLC) of the remote IBM host system. The risk with using filters is that it is possible that the filter will not capture some traffic that is relevant to the connection problems. This is most likely to occur with TCP/IP connections. A filter may miss ICMP Redirect or Destination unreachable frames. These kinds of frames may occur when the network path between the HIS server and IBM Host system is having a problem or when a router between does not have the correct setup or has lost connectivity. These kinds of frames are sent from a different TCP/IP address (e.g. the router's address) and may get lost when you use a filter setup with HIS TCP/IP Address and IBM Host system TCP/IP Address. 2. If the Host Integration Server system and the IBM host system are separated across a WAN (e.g. routers, switches, bridges between the systems), the recommendation is to perform concurrent network traces at least on the Host Integration Server network segment and the IBM host system's network segment. This gives visibility into the network traffic on each network segment. This allows you to see if network packets are making across the WAN. Having a network trace on only one network segment does not give a complete picture because you cannot determine with certainty if a missing packet reached the other network segment or if a response was lost on the way back. 3. If the connection failures are random, the traces may need to run for an extended period. In these cases, you may want to setup the network capture utility to save network traces at certain intervals in case the traces cannot be stopped immediately when an outage occurs. This helps to make sure that the relevant data is captured. 4. When a connection failure occurs, you want to stop and save the network trace as soon as possible. Trace Analysis The Microsoft Host Integration Server support team uses the resulting trace data to isolate the root cause of the connection failures. In most cases, the problem is caused by one of the following: - Configuration problem o Incorrect network addresses o Incorrect Service Access Points (SAPs) o Incorrect firewall settings (IP-DLC) - Network Problems o Transient network issues o Router/Switch/Packet Shaper issues - IBM Host System outages o Normal maintenance windows o Unexpected outages on mainframe or iSeries systems Generally, the network traces are the main troubleshooting tools for these types of problems because they are normally external to Host Integration Server. The HIS traces are useful to see the data flow leading up to the outage. The link service Level 2 message traces also include DLC return codes (for 802.2 DLC link services) that can also be helpful. The following Knowledge Base article describes how the DLC return codes are interpreted using these traces: INFO: Interpreting 802.2 DLC Outage Code from SNA Server Level 2 Trace
For 802.2 DLC connection failures, the outage code in the Event 23 tells you why the connection dropped. If you refer to the specific outage descriptions above, you will see get an idea as to what to look for in the traces. The traces help verify or prove the underlying cause as noted by the outage code. For example, an outage code of 0029 (Remote system not responding) usually indicates that the 802.2 DLC link service is not getting a response to the DLC TEST or XID commands that it is sending to the remote system to establish the DLC connection. In these cases, you should also see an Event 230 warning logged in the Application Event log that indicates if the problem occurs because of a TEST or XID command. The network traces in this case are used to verify that the TEST and/or XID command is sent on the wire by the 802.2 DLC link service. If concurrent network traces were captured, you can see if the TEST or XID commands reached the remote network segment. If so, then you should see a TEST or XID response being sent back. If you see the response in the remote network trace but not the other network trace, then the packets were dropped/lost while traversing the WAN. At this point, troubleshooting continues with your network support team. For the outage codes that indicate a Frame Reject (FRMR) being sent or received, you would search through the network trace for the FRMR and then work backwards to see the sequence that led to the Frame Reject being sent. In these cases, typical causes are DLC frames being sent out of sequence, incorrect sequence numbers, incorrect DLC frame size. Additional details will be included in a corresponding Event 227 warning, which includes a frame reject code that specifies the reason the frame reject was sent.

Colorado State Edges Texas Tech, 6-4, in Troy Cox Classic Opener The Red Raiders fell to Colorado State, 6-4, Friday morning in the Troy Cox Classic opener. Feb. 15, 2013 LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Colorado State erased an early 3-2 lead with a four-run third inning and held on long enough to take a 6-4 victory over Texas Tech Friday morning in the Troy Cox Classic opener at the NMSU Softball Complex. The loss marked Tech's second in a row leading into an afternoon contest against UMKC. The Red Raiders (3-3) had not previously lost consecutive non-conference games since the opening weekend of the 2012 season when Tech was downed by No. 9 Stanford, No. 14 Tennessee and then Cal Poly in the Kajikawa Classic. Colorado State (3-3) put the pressure on Tech early with two runs in the second that started with a Chelsea Biglow triple to lead off the inning. She scored later off the first of two Kendal Butterfield RBI singles in the game. Butterfield, who finished 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBI, came around minutes later on an Ashlie Ortega RBI single. Oretega also connected on a two-run double in the third as part of a 2-for-4 day. Tech, meanwhile, struggled putting the ball in play against Colorado State starter Kacie McCarthy, who struck out 13 Red Raiders en route to the complete-game victory. It marked the most strikeouts for Tech since Tennessee waived 14 Red Raiders on Feb. 10 last year. The Red Raiders were able to get to McCarthy (2-1) early as Tech plated three runs in the second. Taylor Powell, Sydnie Tapia and Samantha Camello connected on three-straight one-out singles to set up a Mikey Kenney two-run single that tied the game. Shelby Johnson also added a sacrifice fly later in the frame to score Camello for Tech's final run prior to an Adriana Perez RBI in the fourth. Camello finished 2-for-3 at the plate as she and Powell (2-for-4) were the only Tech players with at least two hits. Ashley Brokeshoulder (0-1) picked up the loss for the Red Raiders after coming in to relieve Brittany Talley to start the third and surrendering four runs over 3.1 innings. Cara Custer tossed 1.2 shutout innings to close the game. Tech and UMKC are scheduled for a 3 p.m. CT first pitch later this afternoon at the NMSU Softball Complex.

Traffic delays likely Thursday on Martin's Point bridge
PORTLAND — The delivery of additional deck panels will restrict traffic to one alternating lane on the Martin's Point Bridge from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, according to the Maine Department of Transportation.
Travelers who use the bridge, which carries traffic over the Presumpscot River between Veranda Street and U.S. Route 1 in Falmouth, should expect delays, the DOT said Monday in a press release.
A new bridge, which is being built adjacent to the existing bridge, is expected to be open to traffic in the first quarter of 2014.

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (14.5 ounce) can pure pumpkin
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans, or more to taste
I only made one change--instead of vegetable oil in the cake part of this recipe, I used softened butter. Halfway through baking, I did cover my cake with a wedge of foil so it would not burn on top. Oh. My. Goodness. This cake is TO. DIE. FOR. I cut wedges of this cake and served it with a dollop of Cool Whip, my family and I LOVE this cake. It's absolutely divine.
I had some extra pumpkin to use, so I figured this would be great. I didn't read the directions well and almost doubled the pumpkin needed though! I had almost all of a can of large pumpkin pie pumpkin and used that instead of the recommended amount of pumpkin. It was AMAZING. This is the best cake I have ever made. I have made it a few more times for other people, and they all love it. I did have to let it cook longer though because of the extra moisture, but it worked out well. This has become a staple cake recipe for me.

I made this as submitted except I baked in 9x13" because I don't have a Bundt pan. I put all of the glaze topping over the top of the cake after it had cooled. Thank you for sharing Stephanie, it's a keeper!
Wonderfully easy and super moist. Great for fall!
Great Hit! Made this to take to funeral, nothing left over. Only had 1/2C pumpkin left over from another recipe, used that & 1C. pumpkin pie filling. Didn't use much of the topping on bottom of cake, wanted to make sure I had enough for top. Came out so moist & beautiful looking.
This is delicious and easy. It was very moist. My family devoured it in two days. I didn't make any changes to it and it came out perfectly. What's weird is the picture next to the recipe looks like it has chocolate on top, but the recipe doesn't call for it. I guess you could add chocolate chips to the brown sugar glaze that you put on the top.
The cake was great! I used Gluten free yellow cake mix instead and it worked just as great! Thanks for the recipe!
