Bayer HealthCare will consolidate its East Coast businesses at the former Alcatel-Lucent campus in Hanover Township and move 2,500 employees there from New York and other New Jersey sites, the municipality and the pharmaceutical company announced yesterday.
The news comes after months of speculation of where the Leverkusen, Germany-based pharmaceutical and chemical maker — best known for manufacturing aspirin — would build its East Coast headquarters. In April, Bayer announced it selected New Jersey for the offices, and the company has spent the time considering several Morris County sites, including in Parsippany and Mount Olive.
Bayer will purchase 95 of the 194 acres at the Alcatel property in the township's Whippany section, said Hanover Mayor John Sheridan. The contract was signed Wednesday evening, and Bayer will renovate and retrofit various building over the next two years, Sheridan said.
Employees that are currently based in Morristown, Wayne and Montville, as well as Tarrytown in New York, will move to the site as soon as mid-2013, said Bayer spokeswoman Rose Talarico. The offices will be for corporate and administrative staff, and there will not be any manufacturing at the site.
"Contingent upon the successful completion of the due diligence process, Whippany will be the new 'home town' of Bayer HealthCare's consolidated East Cost business," Talarico said in a statement. The "due diligence" phase includes environmental inspections, permit applications and approvals, and other steps Bayer will take before they are in a position to close on the deal, Talarico said.
Specific details of the deal, including the sales price, were not made public.
The campus had been on the market since 2009, when Alcatel-Lucent relocated employees to its corporate headquarters in Murray Hill.
In its previous life, the site brought in $2.4 million in taxes each year, according to Hanover administrator Joseph Giorgio. It was not immediately clear how much Bayer would pay annually because it is moving in phases, said Sheridan, the Hanover mayor.
But the decision still marks "a great day" for the township, he said.
"It's obviously a very refreshing, serious boost for the economy, the town and the region," Sheridan said.
"We're blessed they chose us," he added.
Late last December, Alcatel-Lucent sold the site for $18.5 million to Rubenstein Partners, a private real estate investment firm in Philadelphia, and Mountain-Lakes based Vision Equities. Its assessed value had dropped significant, falling from $91 million in 2007, when Alcatel had 2,500 employees there, to $36 million in 2010, Giorgio had said in February.
Sheridan said he hopes the remaining "South Campus" of 100 acres will go to a mixed-use project to ensure, should Bayer ever leave, the town won't face as large a budget hole they way it did when Alcatel-Lucent left.
The property's developers envision additional office buildings, multifamily residential or retail projects, Sam Morreale, managing partner at Vision Equities, said in February.
"The intention here, based upon the quality (and) the scale of the property, is to do a high end, high quality, mixed use project," Morreale said.
"It would be something that probably has not typically been able to be developed in New Jersey, based upon availability of quality in-fill land like this," he added, referring to the amount of land normally available in built-out areas of the state.

Results tagged ' Dusty Baker '
Rotation on a roll
The Reds aren't breaking off on a huge winning streak yet, but they are getting some very good starting pitching. And that could eventually reap benefits for sustained winning.
Bronson Arroyo worked into the eighth inning for the Reds 6-4 win over the Dodgers. He allowed 4 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HB. He threw 98 pitches/68 strikes.
The Reds rotation is 5-1 with a 2.17 ERA over the last eight games and has three wins during the 3-2 road trip to this point.
"It's going to be the key for us," Arroyo said. "If we don't have that, we're not going be able to win ballgames. As good as our offense has been numbers-wise throughout the whole year compared with the rest of the league, it's not enough to overcome four and five-run deficits early in the ballgame. For us to get deep in the ballgame like we are, try to peel back the innings for the guys in the bullpen a little bit, especially going into the hotter months of the season, will be key for us."
*Arroyo is 4-0 with a 2.60 ERA in his last four starts vs. the Dodgers.
*Francisco Cordero notched career save No. 303 by striking out the side in the ninth after a leadoff walk. Cordero is tied with Doug Jones for 20th on the all-time saves list.
*Homers by Chris Heisey (two outs, sixth) and Joey Votto (three-run shot, seventh) snapped a five-game streak without a home run for the Reds.
*Arroyo helped himself with a bloop RBI single to right field in the seventh that provided the go-ahead run.
*After the Reds couldn't win a game at Chavez Ravine from 2006-2009 (0-12), they have won three of the last four here.
"They've thrown well. They threw well in San Francisco. Obviously Bronson threw well tonight. You hope for that every time. Our offense is necessary but the team's priority is always pitching and defense." — Joey Votto
"That was a big home run by Heisey because Kuroda was really dealing at the time." — Dusty Baker
5-4 homestand, not 6-3
Even though the Reds dropped two of three to the Dodgers last weekend, they had a chance to sweep the Cubs three-game and complete a very nice 6-3 home stand.
It didn't happen.
The Reds were awfully quiet during a 4-1 loss to the Cubs. After coming up empty during a bases-loaded, one out rally in the first inning, there was only Jay Bruce's RBI single in the third inning off Ryan Dempster. After that, Cubs pitching retired the final 19 of 20.
"We had a chance for a sweep," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "That three in a row is eluding us big time. We'll get it. We're like real close. Perhaps we'll turn it around on this road trip. The last road trip, we had a bad one so we're due for an excellent one."
The Reds leave for a 7-day trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles. It stays tough after that with the Blue Jays and Yankees at home.
*Dempster had a great game but was nearly a scratch because of hip pain. Chicago had Rodrigo Lopez also warming up pre-game just in case.
*The game essentially turned on back-to-back Cubs homers for three runs in the fourth by Carlos Pena and Aramis Ramirez. For Arroyo, they were homers No. 15 and 16 allowed for the season, tying him with Brett Myers for the NL lead.
*A fourth run charged to Arroyo scored on a Jose Arredondo balk in the seventh. With runners on the corners and two outs, Arredondo had a 3-2 count on Ramirez when he made a pickoff move to first base. He had keep the ball upon realizing Joey Votto wasn't holding the runner.
*Bruce's RBI single gave him a 10-game hitting streak.
*Jonny Gomes struck out as a pinch-hitter with Paul Janish on third with a two-out triple. Gomes is 0-for-10 as a pinch-hitter this season with seven strikeouts.
*Joey Votto has an eight-game hitting streak and has reached 60 of his 62 games played.
"It's definitely disappointing. The way we've been playing lately, we can't really afford to have a lot of close games get away from us. It's been tough for us to come back from games that we've been behind once we've given up the lead. It's hard to overcome that. Right now, we're just fighting to get every win we can and we just can't seem to be able to catch a nice streak where they seem to come easy. Everything has been difficult. It's not going to get any easier in the next couple of weeks." — Bronson Arroyo
"Somebody has got to tell him he's playing behind him in that situation. I've seen Aramis hit that hole over there too many times. That's one of his favorite RBI holes over there. We were trying to cover that hole but just didn't communicate and tell him we were playing off the bag at 3-2. We have to tighten up our game in all departments. If we do that, we'll be great." — Dusty Baker on the Arredondo balk.
"All the games here on out are big games for us. We're playing catch-up in the division and we have to win every one that we can." — Drew Stubbs
*You won't have me in San Francisco these next four games. We'll pick it up from Los Angeles on Monday.
Volquez has short hair, long outing
Edinson Volquez sure looked different on the mound without the dreadlocks, but the Reds saw he returned from exile with the stuff that made him successful in the past.
In an 8-2 Reds win over the Cubs, Volquez had this line: 7 ip, 7 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. 105 pitches/61 strikes. And he survived a 30-pitch second inning where he left the bases loaded. He also induced two double plays from the Cubs.
"He was locating his fastball a lot better. That's the Volquez we knew from before," Reds manager Dusty Baker said.
Volquez had no ill will about being sent down to Triple-A Louisville on May 23.
"I knew I needed it. I was cool," Volquez said. "I wasn't mad with anybody because I was struggling in the big leagues. I had to do something. I went back to Triple-A and made the adjustments and came back to the big leagues like I did tonight."
For the Reds to have a real shot at catching the Cardinals, they need Volquez to keep doing more of the same.
*With two walks and one hit tonight, Joey Votto has now reached safely in 59 of his 61 games this season and 14 in a row.
*Jay Bruce has a nine-game hitting streak. He's batting .412 (14-for-34) with three homers and 7 RBIs since May 29.
*Miguel Cairo hit the second grand slam of his career in the seventh inning to turn a 4-1 game into an 8-1 game.
*In the fifth, Drew Stubbs made a tremendous diving catch in right-center field to rob Kosuke Fukudome of extra bases. Stubbs didn't have a smooth landing on the grass but the catch was solid nonetheless.
*The Cubs defense? Not so stellar. A rally started in the fifth on a Volquez grounder through the left side. Aramis Ramirez and Starlin Castro each had alligator arms and let the ball squeak through. It was the beginning of a two-run inning.
*For a complete rundown of Day 2 (rounds 2-30) of the Reds Draft, Tyler Jett has the story.
*Among the day 2 notables, 3B Sean Buckley was taken by the Reds with a 6th-round pick. Buckley, who is listed rather large at 6-4 and 220 pounds, is the son of Reds amateur scouting director Chris Buckley. In the 22nd round, the club took LHP Amir Garrett from basketball powerhouse Findlay College Prep in Nevada. Garrett is already committed to play college basketball for St. John's and is the No. 68 ranked hoops prospect, according to Rivals.com.
*Finally, there is a heat emergency for Wednesday's day games and temps expected in the mid 90s.
"I didn't see him until right before game time. He looked pretty good, real good actually. Brandon has been on him the whole spring about cutting that mess off his head. He looked handsome." — Reds manager Dusty Baker on Volquez's new short hair
"I got my haircut last night. It was too hot, the weather. I was tired too, three years of long hair. I decided to cut it out. … I love my hair. I'm keeping it at my house. I'm going to bring it tomorrow." — Edinson Volquez
"We got a pretty good pitching staff. We need to start getting going. It's already June. The heat is here. We have to take advantage of those other pitchers getting tired. Hopefully our pitchers, they get hot and start pitching good." — Miguel Cairo
Baker: Hitting not the problem
Reds manager Dusty Baker was asked Monday if there might a chance for some hot-hitting players at Triple-A Louisville to come up to help the offense. Players like Zack Cozart, Yonder Alonso, Devin Mesoraco and Todd Frazier have been playing very well.
Baker shot down any notion that moves would coming on the offensive side.
"Hitting ain't been our problem," Baker said. "We're second in the league, or third, in almost every offensive category. Are we going to go from a five-run game to seven runs or eight? In a number of cases, it still hasn't been enough. There haven't been any discussions.
"There's a bigger gap now between Triple-A and the big leagues than there ever used to be. If not, guys would come up here right away and do what they were doing down there. It hasn't been the case. We chose this team for a reason. That's a very good Triple-A team down there with guys that have been there for a while. Whatever you do, you have to do something with the guys that are here. You don't just pull the plug on the guys that are here right now. It's too early for that."
The Reds enter the night in third place with a 30-30 record and are 5 1/2 games out of first place in the NL Central. But the manager has a point. The team ranks third in hitting, second in runs scored, hits, total bases and RBIs and third in home runs. On the pitching side, the Reds are 14th in ERA. They have allowed the most homers in the NL and the third most hits.
If there's going to be a shakeup of any kind, it makes me wonder if GM Walt Jocketty will explore the trade market for an "ace" type of pitcher. He aggressively pursued LHP Cliff Lee but lost out when the Mariners dealt him to the Rangers. Cincinnati was very much in that battle for Lee. And before you ask me who is available, that's harder to figure out. A total of 19 of the 30 MLB teams are within six games or better in their respective divisions. It's not time for the white flag to be waved by those teams, yet.
In other news:
*Edinson Volquez is definitely making the start for the Reds on Tuesday.
*3B Scott Rolen has strep throat. The team hopes he can return Tuesday, but it's not a guarantee.
Huge win before welcomed day off
Even if Joey Votto doesn't agree, the Reds needed that game in a bad way. A 4-3 win over the Brewers came in the Reds' last two at-bats on a two-run homer by Jay Bruce in the seventh and Joey Votto's game-winner with a two-run shot in the eighth. Cincinnati was trailing 3-0 after four innings.
Votto hasn't gotten as many pitches to hit, and especially drive, this season. But he got one very favorable matchup against Milwaukee reliever Kameron Loe, coming in 3-for-6 with two homers. Not only did Votto crush the 2-1 pitch, it was still carrying upwards as it smacked the center field batters' eye. Estimated distance: 439 feet.
"Every single game is equally important," Votto said. "This one was important because we've been losing quite a bit lately."
Manager Dusty Baker had a different point of view about the meaning of the game, which was the Reds' 20th in 20 days.
"Best one in a long time. That was huge that we found a way to win the game," Baker said.
*Francisco Cordero recorded his 300th career save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Cordero is only the 22nd player to reach that plateau and it tied him with HOFer Bruce Sutter on the all-time list.
*Brewers 2B Rickie Weeks has started three games against the Reds this season with a home run. Oddly enough, his team is 0-3 in those games.
*In his last 17 games, Jay Bruce is hitting .403 with nine homers and 25 RBIs. His long ball tonight was his NL leading 17th.
*The Reds have 15 come-from-behind wins this season.
*Before tonight, the Reds had lost their last five one-run games.
"It was so great tonight. We're down by a run in the bottom of the eighth, two outs, and Joey Votto came big and hit a homer and I get the save. Now we have a great day off tomorrow and enjoy the day off and come back ready to play against the Dodgers and keep doing what we're doing — just keep winning games, just keeping saving any time I get the chance. Who knows? Maybe next time we're talking about 400. You never know." — Francisco Cordero
"Shaun Marcum obviously had a lot to do with it. We ended up getting some big hits at the end of the game, myself and Jay. Jay has obviously been a go-to guy over the past month." — Joey Votto on the Reds' first six scoreless innings and the turnaround.
"Both of them are great hitters. Votto is always hot. Bruce has been unbelievable for the last month. When you make a mistake to them, neither one is going to miss it." — Brewers manager Ron Roenicke.
"We finally won a series, won a rubber match game that has been eluding us for so long. Hopefully now we'll take this day off and enjoy it. It's been a tough run these last 20 days. Up and down and a lot of emotional swings, mostly down." — Reds manager Dusty Baker
"Any time you're in the central division and win, it's always good. But going into a day off and winning, it's a little better feeling than going in with a loss. We've got a tough stand coming here with L.A., we'll have to battle." — Reds starter Mike Leake, who allowed three runs over six innings.
Why no PH in 4th?
It feels like a just the quotes kind of night on the blog and you can read more in depth in my final game story that will be up shortly (the one with the quotes, not the first version.)
Some of the quotes below, however, should explains the big moment of the 7-2 Reds loss to the Brewers — the decision not to bat for RHP Chad Reineke with the bases loaded and no outs in the fourth inning, trailing by three runs. Reineke grounded into a double play to score a run in a rally-killing moment.
"Oh yeah, if I had a full bullpen, that was our chance to get back in the game." — Reds manager Dusty Baker.
"[Ondrusek] was sore. He couldn't go. This guy has been pitching a lot. He's No. 2 in the league in appearances. We've got three guys in the bullpen in the top 10 in appearances – Masset, Ondrusek and Bray…It was 'no' behind Fisher, 'no' behind Arredondo and 'no' behind Ondrusek. That puts you in a bad situation when you have only one guy with length down there. I was counting it up. We didn't have enough to fill nine innings today." — Baker
"Zack [Greinke] was trying to strike him out and he couldn't strike him out. [Reineke] swung at the first two breaking balls and looks bad, and then doesn't swing at the rest." –Brewers manager Ron Roenicke on Reineke, who worked a 0-2 count into a 3-2 count before grounding into the 643 DP.
"It's sorry to say, but it's probably better if I just strike out and not get two outs. But I worked it to full and got a pitch to hit and I didn't do anything with it. That's kind of a killer with bases loaded, nobody out, to ground into a double play, but I was just trying to do my best." — Chad Reineke
"Honestly, I think we beat ourselves today. I think we hit the ball pretty good. They were just playing in the right spots. I hit some balls good today and Scott Rolen did too. We didn't score some runs. He still has his good stuff. [Greinke is] one of the best pitchers in the league and today was just not our day, really. He kept the ball down real good and we just lost." — Brandon Phillips
"They had some good at-bats but I only had one pitch that I was throwing how I wanted to, so it made it tough. I got through it. By the fifth and sixth inning, everything started coming together a little bit." — Brewers starter Zack Greinke
Bruce's big month
Who's your NL Player of the Month?
Jay Bruce's May: .346 avg, 12 HRs, 32 RBIs, 23 runs scored. He entered the night with a 1.103 OPS.
Mets SS Jose Reyes: .364/.421/.555 with nine doubles, six triples, 11 steals, 40 hits and 18 runs scored. He has been placed on bereavement leave.
Save for the ninth-inning, three-run double in Philly last week, Bruce's hot stretch has not been taken advantange of enough by the Reds. On Monday vs. the Brewers, it was. He went 3-for-4 with a triple, three-run homer and single in the Reds' 7-3 win.
"I'm just getting presented with opportunities, and I've been successful," Bruce said. . It's been a good month. I've been making better decisions. That's one of the big things. And with better decisions comes most of the time a lot of success."
*Bruce's 12 HRs in the month are two shy of the club record. Greg Vaughn last set that mark in Sept. 1999 when he tied Frank Robinson's record of 14.
*The Reds are 15-8 when they score first.
*Jonny Gomes, coming off his 4-for-5 game on Sunday, was 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and sac fly.
"He's not trying to do too much. Sometimes, you try to do too much, it makes it worse. Just be natural, be yourself. He's been on a tear. He's seeing the ball. No. 1 thing is he's not fouling off pitches or missing pitches that he should put in play and hit…you're not going to hit them all out of the ballpark. When you get your pitch to hit, you have to hit it." — Dusty Baker on Jay Bruce
"They hit some pretty good pitches, I thought. I asked Hanigan — one was a changeup that Gomes hit — and I asked him if it was down, and he said, 'Yeah, he went down and got it.' The other was a cutter. I asked if it was in. He said, 'Yeah,' so they just put some good swings on some good pitches and it worked out for them." — Reds LHP Travis Wood on his three-run fifth, including back-to-back homers.
"When you get a chance to control your own destiny against a team that's ahead of you, it's nice, and we did a good job of it tonight." — Jay Bruce on beating the Brewers to pull 1 1/2 games out of second place. The Cardinals lost also, dropping their lead over CIN to four games.
Bailey to get checked out
Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey was headed back to Cincinnati Thursday afternoon after he suffered a right shoulder spasm during a 10-4 loss to the Phillies. Bailey allowed four runs and five hits with one intentional walk and two strikeouts for a no-decision. The injury came as a hitter during a fourth-inning at-bat when he grounded out to first base. The club did not know the seriousness of the injury.
"He said he just felt some discomfort on the swing when he was hitting," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "You could tell his velocity went down quite a bit after that."
Bailey has been exceptional this season with a 3-1 record and 3.00 ERA five starts. His season started on the disabled list because of an impingement in the same shoulder.
"It's a little different," Baker said. "He just said he felt pain when he went to reach when he was swinging. We'll have to wait to see what we hear from Dr. Kremchek tomorrow."
This was a development the Reds didn't need. Not after Volquez got sent down on Monday. Not after Arroyo lasted 2 2/3 innings on Monday and had to get an MRI Tuesday because of back pain. And certainly not after they endured a gut-wrenching 19-inning loss on Wednesday.
*Daryl Thompson had to kind of be sacrificed as he allowed five runs, six hits and five walks over three innings after Bailey's depature. Based on the last few days, injuries to LeCure and Maloney, Fisher being unavailable and with six more games until another day off, there was no other choice.
*Thompson was pitching in the Majors for the Reds for the first time since 7/2/08 vs. PIT.
*The rotation has pitched 21 1/3 innings the last five games, including the Volquez start in Cleveland. The bullpen has had 31 innings pitched over that same span.
*Mike Leake is definitely making the start on Friday, Baker said. Expect a corresponding roster move on Friday. GM Walt Jocketty will be in Atlanta. I wouldn't be shocked if a second pitcher is added to provide bullpen depth. Just speculating, but Chad Reineke is scheduled to start for Louisville on Friday and has a 2.61 ERA. There is a spot open on the 40-man should he be summoned.
*Paul Janish snapped 0-for-21 skid with a two-out, bases loaded double in the fourth inning that scored two.
*Jay Bruce is seemingly locking up Player of the Month honors for May. In this series alone, he was 9-for-21 (.429) with three home runs and 11 RBIs. In his last eight games, he's hitting .486 (17-for-35). He has homered in four of his last five games and in five of his last eight.
"I don't know how many more changes we have, you know what I mean? Walt will be in Atlanta tonight and we'll get together and try to figure this thing out. You can't be sinking too much deeper or too much faster." — Reds manager Dusty Baker
"Sometimes when both teams are coming out, they'll be kind of dead, but when you win a game like that, usually there's still some effect to it, I believe. Guys wanna come out and get after it. We got a good start on 'em today plus we had a good pitcher going." — Phillies manager Charlie Manuel
"It's tough. We've kind of been exhausting every option. We'll get the hit and can't hold the lead. Or we'll hold the lead and can't get the hit. It's just back and forth and it's going to pass though." — Jay Bruce
My arm felt good and everything felt fine. It was just adrenaline and trying to make something happen pretty much instead of trying to relax and throw the ball and do what I've been doing all season." — Daryl Thompson
*****FYI, I am taking the Atlanta series off. I will be back on the case Monday.
Big stress buster for the Reds
For a little while, I thought I slapped a whammy on Jay Bruce because I wrote a pre-game notebook item on how he'd been on a nice offensive tear. Then he took a 0-for-4, three strikeout game into the ninth inning.
With the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth, Bruce delivered a three-run double to the right-center field wall. The Reds won 6-3 and finally snapped a six-game losing streak.
Bruce came in 1-for-19 this season with RISP and two outs. Reliever Ryan Madson had allowed one run in 19 innings all season. Madson was the one to give. And Bruce delivered in a clutch moment.
"It's huge," Bruce said. "The big thing that I'm going to learn from that is staying focused. Just because you don't do it the first time, you may get a chance and you have to be prepared and ready the second time. You can't let things linger. I am learning a lot about driving in runs and really getting them when they're there. I'm not good yet but getting better at that aspect of it. I have a long way to go but…tonight it worked out and I plan on doing it a lot more."
This was a very big win for the Reds. Had they not won here, the tension dial would have really been upped as they have to face Halladay and Lee the next two games. And in Atlanta, Hanson, Lowe and Jurrjens are looming.
"It sure relieves a lot of pressure," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "We've got some more tomorrow with Doc Holliday. But we'll enjoy this one tonight. It's the first game we've won in a week and on the road trip. And the first one we've won here in two years. It was a rewarding night for us."
*Bruce is 9-for-16 (.563) with four homers and 10 RBIs in the last six games.
*Drew Stubbs had a big bunt single to start the ninth inning rally. It was such a surprise because it was his first bunt hit this season.
*Bill Bray has not allowed a run in 22 of 25 appearances. He worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings tonight.
*Francisco Cordero had a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his ninth save and career save No. 299.
*The Phillies nine-game winning streak over the Reds at Citizens Bank Park is over.
"There's some significance – not because they swept us in the playoffs – but because they're a good team. They have a really good chance on winning their division. To play these guys tough and beat these guys is important because they're a really good baseball team." — Jay Bruce on beating the Phillies
"He did it on his own, it wasn't a play. I urge these guys to do a lot of stuff on their own. These guys can play. I try to give them freedom to play. The happiest man on the whole ballclub was probably Hatcher, because he's been working with him on that for two years and urging him to try it." — Dusty Baker on the Stubbs bunt.
Frazier's stay was brief
The Reds optioned IF/OF Todd Frazier to Triple-A Louisville and recalled RHP Carlos Fisher. Frazier, of course got the proverbial cup of coffee in the big leagues since he was only called up yesterday and struck out as a PH.
After getting a total of 5 1/3 innings of starting pitching the last two games, the Reds bullpen worked 10 2/3 innings and is strapped for a fresh arm. It's Fisher. Stay tuned for more when the clubhouse opens.
Frazier took the news well before he left the clubhouse.
"What are you going to do? There are some needs and they had to do what they had to do," he said. "I got my feet wet and hopefully the next time I get the call, I will stay here longer."

Thanks to @KStewartBR
**UPDATE**And now thanks to fiercebitchstew we have the interview:
Kristen Stewart's body can tell a million stories. Kinetic, she jiggles, feints, and darts as she talks, hanging back, looking off to the side, signaling resistance, a combinative intelligence. "The word I always use for her is vulpine." says Jack Scott, who recently directed her in Welcome to the Rileys, in which she plays a teenage runaway and lap dancer. "Foxlike. She's got that way of moving and being that you often find in her performances, a sort of wiliness."
In other words, Stewart projects the kind of wary, rebellious edge that is so much more typical of her age group - she is 20 - than gleeful high spirits, which is problably one reason she is head and shoulders above her peers in Hollywood's power pyramid, and a director's darling. Scott heard about her from his friend Sean Penn after Penn cast her as the unmoored daughter of hippie parents in the memorable Into the Wild. "Sean said, 'You've gotta see this kid,' Scott recalls. "She's just so alive!" For Bill Condon, currently ensconced in a year's worth of filming for Breaking Dawn, the two-part finale of the mighty Twilight Saga, "Kristen was the top of my list of reasons to do this movie."\
On a fall weekend in a quiet, suburban part of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the town where the Breaking Dawn set is located (with much secrecy and heavy confidentialy agreements), Stewart, a slyph in tomboyish jeans and a lumberjack shirt, is moving around the kitchen of a friend's house, cracking her knuckles as she talks. She gets nervous dealing with the media - TV interviews in particular, she says, make her squirm - and she is sometimes accused of being downbeat and defensive in her public appearances, not least because she rarely smiles. She nurses some bad-girl career. "I choose things that are so overly ambitious, and if I can't do steff like that, I don't want to be doing this.", she says. Scratch the surface, however, and the attitude seems more about the passion and perfectionism she feels about her work and the opposite. "A compulsion absolutely fills you", she says of finding a good part, and admits that she sometimes has difficulty lettin go.

One resident of Saxon Street is "gobsmacked" that a proposed airpark development could even be considered in the Canning area.
Speaking to Kings County council on June 3, Ernest Cadegan isn't against a new airport, but it shouldn't be located on prime farmland.
"This is not happening on Saxon Street," he said. "Please, have an airport, sounds like a fabulous idea, but I am absolutely gobsmacked – gobsmacked – that such a thing could possibly be considered on Saxon Street."
He told council most people know very little about it at this point, but he believes there would be thousands opposed.
North East Kings Citizens Group spokesman Soren Bondrup-Nielsen said they believe it's essential that a new airport location be picked that does not impact agricultural land. He also expressed concerns for migratory birds in the vicinity and potential safety issues for pilots and their planes.
Although it has yet to be considered by Kings County council, a proposal has been circulated by Gordon Squires of the Waterville Airport Co-operative Limited for a new airpark at 1672 Saxon St. This could include a 3,500-foot runway with room to expand, a terminal building, hangars, RV spaces, residential home and hangar lots and more.
- Read more special articles:
- UPDATED: Video - Will Michelin expand onto Waterville airport land?
- Public meeting held on possible Waterville Airport sale
- Waterville airport flying off
- UPDATED: Province, Kings County want to move Waterville airport
Jim Petrie's farm is located next door to the proposed airpark site. He's fearful of the possibility of land expropriation. He said they've made a big investment in the land and would hate to lose it.
"The quality of the land is second to none," Petrie said, pointing out that there are other options, such as 14 Wing Greenwood.
Kings County Federation of Agriculture president Hank Bosveld said farmland in Hillaton is "top-notch." He said Nova Scotia is vulnerable when it comes to the food supply and wouldn't be surprised if Nova Scotia ran out of local food within a week if there were a major catastrophe that stopped shipments.
"It is important that we keep our agricultural land in production because we all need to eat to survive," he said.
Warden Diana Brothers said council has been receiving a lot of email from residents on Saxon Street and they committed to letting them make comments about the airport relocation business case terms of reference following debate at the June 3 session. She told the citizens she wants them to have some comfort level that the Saxon Street airpark proposal has yet to be dealt with.
"Council has never said we are going to put an airport on Saxon Street," Brothers said. "We haven't reviewed the proposal, nor has staff."
Brothers said the project proponents have requested to make a presentation to council, but that has yet to be arranged.
Coun. Wayne Atwater asked if the owner of the subject land could fly in and out now anyhow. Brothers said anything happening now on Saxon Street in that regard is permitted.
Area councillor Kim MacQuarrie said she has received more than 40 phone calls on the matter to date.

|Re: [TowerTalk] OT: Propane Tank near lightning ground

> That opens a whole nuther can of worms. Burying a fuel tank > comes with a whole lot of regulations and requirements. Actually, burying a propane tank is no big deal, at least in Florida. Things like gasoline or diesel tanks have a massive number of regulations/requirements to prevent a fuel leak from contaminating the ground, but propane isn't as heavily regulated. I presume this is because propane will dissipate. I had a 500 gallon tank buried in my yard last year for my backup generators. The gas company simply digs a big hole and puts the tank in. It's the same tank used above ground. Above ground, the dark green tank has to be painted a light color in Florida; below ground, they just put them in. > Second, I would contact the owner of the propane tank to see > what their preference is, before doing anything. > (In most parts of the country, if not all, the tank belongs > to the fuel distributor.) Around Central Florida, ownership depends on the amount of propane you use on a regular basis. If your house is gas (heater, dryer, stove, etc.), the gas company will "loan" you the tank and will be the only ones that fill it. If the propane is for something like an emergency backup generator where your average propane consumption is not likely to be very high, you have to buy the tank (IIRC 500 gallon tank buried = around $2200); the only advantage is you can get gas from whoever you choose.

Ryan Nassib Scouting Report
Ryan Nassib I 6020 I 229 I QB I Senior I Syracuse
40 Time (E): 4.70
All Star Game Appearance: Senior Bowl
Overview: Maybe no one in the country did more for their draft stock than Ryan Nassib this season. Nassib was completely off the radar screen during the preseason, considered by many (including myself) to be a late round developmental prospect. Because of my geographic area, I frequently see Nassib on a week in, week out basis. I have seen him grow from year to year with 2012 being his finest. The maturation process for Nassib suggests he will be a guy that constantly works at his game. He was very raw in 2010 as his accuracy was questionable to say the least. His marked improvement in this area, and most areas, bode well for him as an NFL signal caller. Nassib may be the top overall QB from a physical tools standpoint in this draft. At 6-foot-2, 229 pounds with above average arm strength and surprisingly good athletic tools, he will draw some looks early in the draft. However, there are some concerns with Nassib's game that need answered before teams think about spending a top twenty pick.
Arm Strength: Nassib is loaded with arm talent. He throws the ball with a ton of velocity and can fit the ball into tight windows. There isn't a throw on the field that Nassib can't make. I came away from the 2012 tape very impressed with his ability to change arm angles to throw in traffic without losing velocity on the ball. I came away very unimpressed with his ability to throw the deep ball. For someone with his arm speed, his throws vertically down the field lack accuracy and often fall short of the target. This is a major concern because it's tough to coach someone to throw the deep ball with accuracy. Nassib can fall too much in love with arm as he'll try to fit the ball into tight windows instead of checking down to open receivers. Forcing the ball into windows at the next level will cost you a job.
Accuracy: Year to year, Nassib has grown in the accuracy department. As a redshirt sophomore he really struggled with overall accuracy. Fast forward to 2012 when he threw at a 62% clip. Nassib excels with accuracy on short to intermediate throws. His accuracy on deep balls leaves a bit to be desired. I have concerns with his ball placement at times. In a clean pocket with open receivers he too often will throw the ball in areas that cause the receiver to transition. While it's a catchable ball, he will need to work on putting the ball in optimal spots to allow for YAC.
Throwing Mechanics: One of the top facets of Nassib's game in his ability to throw at multiple arm angles. This is an underrated skill at the next level. QB's have to be able to adjust their arm angle or pass rushers will bat a ton of balls down (See: Brandon Weeden). He possesses a nice, compact throwing motion that allows for a catchable ball. He is a natural athlete that shows up in his feet during the throwing motion. He's a natural knee bender that allows for a balanced setup to throwing the ball. One of the knocks on Nassib's mechanics was that he was a 'pure fastball thrower' and couldn't change velocity on the ball. I didn't see that as an issue this season. I saw multiple occasions where Nassib took some off the ball in the short to intermediate area.
Mobility/Athleticism: Ryan Nassib is a natural athlete, reminiscent of Jake Locker with his larger build and escapability. He's not someone that is going to take off on you and take it the distance, ala Robert Griffin, but you can't sleep on his ability to move the pocket and take off. Nassib is a tough, gritty competitor that will have to learn to avoid the big hit in the NFL. He took far too many shots this season and will have to learn to live another play at the next level. I am somewhat concerned with his long strides in the pocket.
Pocket Presence: His tough, gritty competitiveness showed up with his ability to stand in the pocket the extra second to make a throw. He seems to sense pressure and climbs the pocket well. However, I have concerns as he tends to take long strides, inviting unnecessary hits. I like to see short, choppy steps in the pocket as you feel your way through trash.
Intangibles/Character: Good luck finding someone with more intangibles than this guy. He and Tyler Wilson have that gunslinger mentality that I personally love. You can see the competitor come out and teams will fall in love with that spirit. There aren't any concerns with him as a person or leader. Played in a pro-style offense under Doug Marrone dropping mostly from under center. He needs some work with blitz recognition as he displays very little awareness of where the blitz is coming from. It's something that could be taught but I can't see him being an early success without developing this skill in training camp. I have major concerns with him locking onto his first read and slow progressions off it. This is a quarterback killer at the next level.
Size: Ideal size for Nassib if he checks in at his listed 6-foot-2 height. His build is reminiscent of Aaron Rodgers.
Overall: Ryan Nassib has helped himself this season so much so that people are talking about a reunion with Doug Marrone with the 8th pick in the draft. That would be a monumental mistake in my book. I like a lot about Nassib, I'm just not sure he's capable of making an early impact in the league. His delay in progression reads and inability to pick up the blitz are major concern areas that need addressed. While he possesses a strong arm in the short to intermediate range, I don't see him being successful in the vertical passing game because of deep accuracy issues. Nassib would be best served sitting a year or two, learning and developing into a well-rounded student of the game. Being pushed into the first round will bring expectations of being an immediate starter and would be detrimental to his growth. Boom or bust type player.

Some mornings, I wake up and think this pinball machine we call Earth is on permanent tilt.
The persecution (not prosecution) of Conrad Black in Chicago was both a mockery and a travesty of justice.
For starters, perhaps "his Lordship" had the wrong Greenspan for a lawyer. Eddie Greenspan's older brother Brian is urbane and polished. A lawyer friend told me once that Brian is so respected that when he enters a courtroom, even the judges stand up.
Eddie is bombastic and pugnacious. Sometimes, juries are turned off by verbal thrusts at witnesses' jugulars.
As a layman, may I ask how an action that took place in Canada can be construed to be "obstruction of justice" in the United States? When Black removed files from his Toronto office, did he break U.S. law? Since when do Canadian and American laws dovetail?
The definition of mail fraud is a catch-all favourite of the prosecution. It doesn't have to be an egregious falsehood. Even a slight, unintentional error can be pounced on. Ask, as I did, Al Eagleson just how slight an error.
Black's choice of a trial by jury was always questionable in my mind. I would have opted for a trial by judge alone. Be that as it may, the choice of jurors was also questionable. They were hardly a jury of Black's peers.
The rush to pick Black's bones clean is unseemly. His dubious conviction is under appeal. Can his critics not wait until all his legal options have been exhausted? Must he be expelled from the British House of Lords? Must the jackals petition that he lose his Order of Canada snowflake and his designation as a member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada?
The trend on both sides of the border is to charge a person on the flimsiest of evidence, destroy a person's character, and erode his or her finances.
I often wonder how some prosecutors would fare in the private sector. Many of them would be unemployable.
The track record of some Canadian judges in sentencing is mind-boggling. Two Toronto rich kids hotrodding in expensive sports cars kill a pedestrian and are sentenced to house arrest — no jail time. A man shoots a teenage intruder in his home and is now languishing in jail, convicted of manslaughter, because he used "excessive force."
The administration of justice is uneven and, therefore, unfair. Should Crown attorneys be housed in the same office area as judges? Does familiarity breed yet more familiarity?
The cost of justice is often beyond the financial reach of the individual. Lawyers' fees and court costs for the simplest of motions begin in the thousands of dollars. Mediation is compulsory and it, too, can cost thousands.
I wonder what the batting average of the Crown is. How many charges are frivolous and vexacious? How many cases are tossed out at the preliminary hearing stage? How many cases are dismissed by judges?
Out of curiosity, I thumbed through a two-year old Government of Canada telephone book. The Justice Department alone, just in the national capital area, lists about 1,400 lawyers. Against this monolith of bench strength stands poor little you or me.
The late Supreme Court Justice "Bud" Estey looked informally at the 32 counts Eagleson faced and pronounced them ludicrous. He ventured his opinion that the charges would not reach the preliminary hearing stage in a Canadian court.
"The Eagle" had already laid out $1.5 million defending himself, when his wife Nancy asked him what they could look forward to if he pleaded not guilty. Eagleson's answer was: "Ten more years in the courts and another $10 million."
So, he rolled the dice, pleaded guilty and was given jail time. It is still not clear to me who, if anyone, was defrauded by Eagleson, or if he misappropriated any funds. When push came to shove, there were no National Hockey League players — active or retired — who filed civil suits against him.
Black also rolled the dice, waived extradition, went to Chicago voluntarily and pleaded not guilty. The non-compete payments appeared in company documents, but seemed to have been missed by blue-chip directors who served on the audit committee.
Who, then, wears the mantle of guilt — Black and his co-defendants or the audit committee directors who appear to have been delinquent?
Glace Bay-born Pat MacAdam has been a fly on the wall in national politics for half a century. He served as a spear carrier for prime ministers John Diefenbaker and Brian Mulroney, and as press officer at Canada's High Commission in London. He's in Ottawa (Bytown) now and can be reached at eyeopenerrogers.com.

Gosh, y'all are cute – all y'all!
I love the black gloves with the winter white coat. Also: she is the tiniest pregnant person I have ever seen. At her stage in that cute coat I would have looked like a panda.
I think this is why 'some' celebs rock the fake bump. She should try some empire waist dresses. And sleeck her hair back. Keep the glorious coat!
Just when I was beginning to doubt peter pan collars, she not only wears one but rocks it over her adorable coat to make it even more adorable. Sigh.
Does Lupo need an official handler or something? I just need to be friends with them, and I feel like that could be my in.
This just confirms my suspicions that one must be tall and svelte to rock the mod look without looking cutesy and twee. Ah well.
I'm not sure about the Peter Pan collar on the dress, and I'm definitely against tucking it outside of that lush swing coat, which I covet with real avarice.
But as usual, small quibbles (when I have any at all). The Duchess looks lovely and it's nice to see her wearing something relaxed and comfortable in a dress. I'm hoping, for the last few months, maybe she can even wear flats!
I love love love today's coat and hat. And her shiny hair!
oops forgot link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2296186/Pregnant-Kate-Middleton-laughs-handed-Baby-On-Board-badge-Tube.html
Oh, she looks absolutely perfect and soooo happy!
I was coming here to say that, too. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that coat. The color, the detail…perfect.
Love the coat! Not overly sold on the dress, but she's pulling it off. I think the slightly shorter length helps.
I like all of this, she looks happy and rich. BUT, I wish she'd do something different with her hair. That mod dress would look great with straight hair, maybe a band to hold it back. I don't like how is is all curly on her chest.
How is she preggers and still so tiny? Also, please wear flats, girl. My feet feel sympathy pain from all the way across the Atlantic.
As usual, her wardrobe is perfect and I covet everything. Whichever stylist is in charge of buying her coats and dresses needs to have their own TV show, Rachel Zoe style. That person deserves to be famous for their good taste.
I'm about as far along as she is and I look like I swallowed a whale. I'm also nearly eight inches shorter, so that might have something to do with it. Sigh.
Michelle Williams is going to be furious that someone got that coat before her.
I love a well-done, monochrome tights/shoes look … she looks great, as always … although I do agree that we could get a little adventurous with the hair … let's cut off about 10 inches … I think she'd look even prettier … hair this long takes away from nice detail on wonderful clothes, unless it's pulled back or put up.
Is it just me or is she over the bangs? She looks over them. (btw, covet the coat!)
When I tried to follow your link from my RSS feeder, Google warned me you were a malware site. Thought you should know Google hates good taste and has declared war against fashion
I don't like her hair but at least she got rid of those exaggerated curls, so perhaps there's hope for the future. Also her hair colour … doesn't seem right to me. As if she tries to match her natural colour but not quite. But I may be biased because she really annoys me. She has zero personality (fashion wise also).
I also got this very intense security warning!! Is it from Bieber-land maybe??
I've been getting that message when I connect via my bookmark. If I go to my browser directly I don't get the message.
MOD MATERNITY WEAR? All hail the Duchess.
And I love the coat…though as someone mentioned upthread, it really takes a long and lean body to pull off a lot of mod looks. On my compact and sturdy little figure, I'd look like a Care Bear.
Love the coat. I'm not totally sold on the all-black dress/tights/shoes combo though.
I have a friend who is about 7 months pregnant and basically looks like she just ate a big meal. Yes, she is also tall and thin naturally much like Kate.
I know the feeling, GFY Jessica! I almost bought a coat at Ann Taylor years ago, but didn't, and I've been thinking about it and beating myself for it ever since! Stupid me!!! Kate's coat is lovely… I want it! And the dress is soooo cute!
I have that white BR coat.
Love that coat, especially with the black dress and tights underneath. Her hemlines are shorter now that she's pregnant and I love it.
Jessica, eb*y exists for those of us who neglected buying an item when it was for sale in retail shops (or prefer to spend less on something gently used). Seek and ye shall find
That is so true! I found a swimsuit I didn't buy then it was gone…I found it, new with tags, for like $14. STILL one of my favorite suits.
Lingchi: The Death of a Thousand Coats.
OMG, when I was in college (so, um, 15 years ago, cough cough) I didn't buy an extremely fabulous hat at a boutique in Houston because it was like $300 and that was really expensive at the time. And I think about that hat at least once a week. You know what I would have gotten over by now? The $300.
Different shoes and this would of been a home run!!
Those shoes must be the only ones she can stand to wear these days. I do wish she would (have her servants) clean them up a bit.
I still remember that time when Penélope Cruz wore a white coat and you wrote the same story… It really made me think about those pieces I loved but didn't get and I regret it so much afterwards, and since that post I'm extra careful not to let it happen again.
I think she is allowed to wear whatever length she wants now that she is carrying the Royal Baby.
