"And we need a new coffee maker, ours broke last night," said cold patron of the St. Paul Community Center.
St. Paul's needs a new coffee maker.
But, in order to keep making coffee for the nearly 50 people who rely on the warmth of the Winter Crisis Program they'll need more money.
Leslie Applier is the supervisor of the program that offers a warm bed and meal for people in Toledo who have no place to go on frigid nights.
"We used to only open when temperatures were below 25 degrees, but we've been open every night since January 17," Applier said.
The center opens at 7 p.m. and closes at 7:45 a.m. They only have enough money to remain open until February 17.
"We need $12,000 in order to stay open until March 1," Applier said.
Applier said there are three full-time employees who work in shifts during the 12 hours the crisis center is open, but they always need volunteers.
"We need money, but we also need men's jackets, gloves and hats," she said. "We mostly have adult males stay with us."
Applier added that the Winter Crisis Program is unable to take in families and children.
Those who want to donate money can call 419-255-5520 24-hours a day, seven-days a week.

Town Square
The Lesson of Half Moon Bay
Original post made by Stacey on Dec 18, 2007
Why do I feel that this is an important lesson for Pleasanton? Because some uninformed Oak Grove opponents have written here in the past with two thoughts. That 1) the voters will be able to create regulation that will prevent development of Oak Grove and that 2) somehow the Lins will just give their property over to the City as a tax writeoff.
The Half Moon Bay issue is a prime example of how the actions by a city (through regulation or otherwise) could be interpreted as violating the Fifth Amendment and what results from that. If anyone thinks that referending the Council decision and passing the initiative is somehow going to "Save the Hills" from development, think again. The first time the 98 homes plan was referended, there was no initiative "attached" to it. The development plans went back to the drawing board. Does anyone believe that will happen again here?
How much is the Oak Grove property worth undeveloped? Maybe about $50 million? Does Pleasanton have the ability to pay that amount?
on Dec 18, 2007 at 2:42 pm
What a great article! I think this is the main idea Pleasanton should take away from Half Moon Bay's predicament: "...the city was found to have seized private property without paying just compensation."
on Dec 19, 2007 at 3:54 pm
In my opinion, no one is saying the property can't be developed.
Some are just objecting to the proposed way it will be developed - hill top homes that creates an adverse view of the hills, major grading required, slope angles, etc.....
Just my humble opinion............
on Dec 19, 2007 at 9:03 pm
I guess "Stacey" is saying that somebody can propose anything and if it is denied that they can sue the city? Wow, I guess I can buy a property in Pleasanton, take down the house, and propose 5 story condos and when the city turns it down, I sue.
Jerry is right, no one is saying the property can't be developed; they are saying the property should not have homes on the hill tops.
I cannot believe how desperate "Stacey" is to ensure that Pleasanton has non-stop development. Everywhere she writes on this website she is advocating for development. She certainly does sound like somebody on the council who wants more developer money for her campaign. Sigh.

Follow Friday: The Burgenland BunchPosted: April 16, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Austria, communities, Follow Friday Leave a comment
My mother-in-law's family emigrated to the United States from Austria in the 19th century; that much was certain. But the Germanic village names on a handwritten family fact sheet presented the spelling confusion that occurs when an American-born child or grandchild writes down what they hear.
In this case, it took only little bit of poking around to figure out that "Tahton" was actually the village of Tadten, and "Halbthurn or Holfturn" meant Halbturn. Both of these places are in the region of southeast Austria called the Burgenland, and isn't my mother-in-law lucky? The Burgenland Bunch has this area covered, and I mean covered.
The Burgenland Bunch is the brainchild of the late Gerry Berghold, who in 1996 started sharing tips by email with fellow Burgenlander researchers he met on AOL. The first official email newsletter came out in January 1997.
From a simple email newsletter the Burgenland Bunch has morphed into an organization whose extensive website includes archival material, surname query lists, maps and research tips. It has worked in an enthusiastic partnership with officials in present-day Burgenland — in fact, Gerry Berghold and several of the Bunch's staff were recognized by the Austrian government for their efforts in promoting knowledge and appreciation of the Burgenland.
Gerry Berghold grew and tended the Burgenland Bunch for a decade, retiring from the organization only a month before his death in 2008, five years after being diagnosed with cancer. The Burgenland Bunch goes on due to the efforts of 15 volunteers from the United States and Austria. It's a remarkable example of international genealogy cooperation, born out of an AOL email loop.
Follow Friday: The Old FoodiePosted: April 9, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Follow Friday Leave a comment
You might have noticed that I have a weakness for old recipes — those underestimated windows into the past.
Back when I was a newspaper/foodie sort of person, one of my favorite jobs was reading over the recipe-query column — the more vintage the query, the better. I just loved readers who wanted to know how to make an icebox cake. If it were in my power, I'd have given them a year's free subscription simply for using the word "icebox."
The Old Foodie understands this love of vintage recipes, and does a wonderful job of blending fascinating historical material with a sharp eye for cultural context. For instance, The Foodie has most recently written a three-part series on "Emergency Food," including a great post on suggestions given to British cooks in 1939 for how to stock and stretch their wartime larders.
Also, as a person of Irish descent I have to pay tribute to someone who includes a special section on "Historic Potato Recipes."
If you have an old family recipe you're trying to make sense of, or if you're just interested in trying to imagine how your great-great-great-grandparents might have shopped for and cooked their food, this site is the perfect read.
Follow Friday: The Brooklyn Information PagePosted: April 2, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Brooklyn, Follow Friday, References 1 Comment
Are you researching ancestors in Brooklyn, NY? You must have visited The Brooklyn Information Page. If not, click on the link right now. I will wait.
And wait. And wait.
Oh, just come back tomorrow, already. This Brooklyn-centric genealogy page is crammed with stuff, and if you're a first-time visitor, you'll probably root around in it for hours, just as I did when I first discovered it — gosh, can it be eleven years ago now? Hard to believe.
The Brooklyn Page was created in 1997 by Nancy Lutz, and continues to be a font of information on all things Brooklyn. It is also a gateway to the NYBrooklyn-L email list, which I might as well warn you will flood torrents of information into your email box, but is always interesting as all get-out. I get it in digest form. I have mostly lurked there, and have learned all sorts of things from the unfailingly patient regulars. There is no such thing as a dumb question there, trust me. To get an idea, you can browse the archives here.
Back to the Brooklyn Page itself: Brooklyn is a pretty complicated topic. To say your ancestors "came from Brooklyn" may be of limited usefulness, depending upon the time frame. The entity called "Brooklyn" was once a whole bunch of separate settlements, each with its own rich history. (This helps to explain the fierce neighborhood partisanship that reigns in Brooklyn to this day.) Here you can find information on old Brooklyn town names, farmlands and street names, so important in narrowing the search for an elusive relative. You can also find information on which churches were located where — also very important in a place where Roman Catholics tend to use parish names as geographic signposts.
One of the nicest things on The Brooklyn Page is Paper Trails, where Nancy has established a home for something everyone has sooner or later — a vital record that doesn't fit anywhere in the lines they're researching. On Paper Trails, these orphan records are available for browsing, perhaps to be discovered by someone else who can make use of them.
There are also lots and lots of transcriptions: obituaries, police-blotter stories and directory pages, to name just some.
The Brooklyn Page is searchable, which is how I discovered the identity of my great-great-uncle William Haigney's wife, Sarah, as well as some of Sarah's large Dowd clan from Brooklyn. It was also the place where I first discovered the maiden name of my great-uncle Joseph's wife, Catherine Reilly Haigney.
Consider this a very belated valentine to Nancy and all the Brooklyn list regulars, whose insights, humor and wisdom continue to make my day every day.

"This is the most beautiful Christmas card we've ever had! Many of our friends commented saying, "What a card!," and that this card earned us "Christmas card of the year!" We ordered it with the pearlized finish and it was absolutely stunning! The picture quality was fantastic. We had such a great experience that we will order cards every year from now on....it will be hard to top this one!"
"I really liked my cards, and the people who received then had very favorable comments. The only thing I would change would be the ability to add text boxes where I want them and to make the text box larger if I need it to be."
"I love doing my Christmas card. I have a super gifted friend who took the kids' pictures again and was very happy with how the cards turned out. I got a HUGE amount of compliments from my friends and family. For instance, "Hands down the best Christmas cards", "your card will be the model for Tiny Prints" and "We hardly know which side to show since front and back turned out so great". I did the pearl shimmer finish which I highly recommend. My daughter wore a sparkly sequined hot pink dress and my son wore a pink and blue tie with a white shirt and they really had fun and I let their personalities come through. I love being able to upload my pictures and see what they'll look like, gives me a great amount of control. I don't know why I'd get my cards from anywhere else! j Thank you."
"This card is impressive and allowed me to include all the pictures I wanted in a large format. I love that I had the option to lesson the postage."
"I took a fun approach when interpreting this design. I had photos of my daughter crying through the photo shoot on the front of the card, and used the caption "oh what pain!" on the inside. I added six of the best photos of my three kids being silly and two of the nice portraits on the back. My only negative would be that the back of the card should have some of the design elements from the front of the card, instead of plain white."

Volunteers in Newtown have opened more than 125,000 of pieces of mail sent to Newtown by well-wishers across the world after the Sandy Hook School shooting, and a recent Board of Finance meeting, officials approved funds that will distribute donations according to supporter's wishes—whatever they may be.
"We got checks written out to everything in the world," said finance director Robert Tait. "We read the letters, we highlighted what they wanted."
Based on wishes expressed in the letters, volunteers working for days at Newtown Municipal Center assigned donations to Sandy Hook School, to police and first responders, to families of victims and a myriad of other destinations, said Tait.
The finance board voted Thursday to set up a public and private fund to distribute the approximately $256,000 in donations the town has received since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14. A newly established special revenue fund, totaling more than $176,000, will benefit local departments—police, playgrounds and parks, first responders and fire departments—and includes funds for schools, which will be sent for approval to the Board of Education.
"It's a small amount [compared to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund], but it represented a lot of work," said Tait. Local volunteers put in hours of work over the course of days, working alongside U.S. Postal Service volunteers at times.
"My wife was down there a couple times helping," said Finance Board chair John Kortze before voting to approve the funds. "She came home, walked right by me, and said, 'You would not believe what's going on down there.'"
How Donations Broke Down
While funds are still coming in, the finance director's initial report provides an impression of where donors wanted to see their money go.
More than $98,000—well over half of the special revenue fund—was sent to the town of Newtown itself. These funds were placed in an undesignated category.
Police received about $15,000 in donations, first responders about $11,000, and another $11,000 went to playgrounds. Donations to Newtown School District, Sandy Hook School in particular, and children—funds that will be handled by the Board of Education—totaled $8,855.
Another trust fund will go directly to families of victims. On Thursday night, the board approved an appropriation giving victims' families a total of more than $78,000, sending the request to the Legislative Council.
The trust would be split between the 26 families, plus the two people wounded in the shooting. In addition, the trust will put $1,000 toward a scholarship fund. While all donations will be distributed in time, Tait said, the private purpose fund was a key priority.
"We want to get this to [the families] as soon as we can," he said.

Why would you want to?
Brit. Eng.:
The simple answer is, yes, if you wish to use incorrect grammar.
The trouble is, the use of 'that' in a non-defining relative clause will stick out like a sore thumb - far more than using 'which' with a defining relative clause, because the use of 'which' instead of 'that' is a common mistake!

KENNEWICK, Wash. - As cooler weather rolls into the Northwest, more people are turning their air conditioners off and firing up the heating systems. Getting your home heated for the first time can be dangerous, though.
Kennewick Fire Marshall Mark Yaden said they've already dealt with one house fire related to that. Someone lit their fireplace and debris around the chimney caught fire.
"A good rule of thumb is if you have a fireplace, a wood stove, have that chimney cleaned annually. At a minimum, have it inspected, depending upon how often you use it, some may need it more than once a year," Yaden said.
Yaden said the same goes for electric heat sources. Make sure you get them checked. Burning dry and clean wood in fireplaces is also helpful.
This week is Fire Prevention week and this year's theme is making sure you have two exits out of a home in the event of a fire. You should talk with your family about the routes and have a designated meeting place as well.

- LED flame bulb that moves beyond an accent Review by Dale
Overall Value Quality Feature
Bottom line: at the time of this review, these are a good, functional choice with pleasing light (the best flame LED that I have been able to locate). They would not, however, be acceptable for bright light application needs such as the kitchen... even with a four light fixture. But, for applications requiring a moderate amount of light, they are a good choice and are a definite improvement over CFLs. In a perfect world, they would be less expensive and slightly brighter, but they are definitely acceptable as is.

By the time the second half rolled around in Friday's 49ers-Chiefs game, Chase Daniel was in the game. While he took three sacks, Chase completed all six of his pass attempts.
On Chase's second possession, midway through the third quarter, the Chiefs faced a 3rd-and-7 from their own 46-yard line. Chase snapped the ball and the 49ers sent defensive back Perrish Cox from the edge. Cox was running away from the press box side of the field, which is where I was sitting, so I saw it coming. Welcome to the blind side.
Oh man.That looks soo bad. It's so much worse when you don't know it's coming, which it doesn't appear that Chase did.
@ArrowheadPride yea that almost blew out my knee.— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) August 17, 2013
Luckily, Chase was all smiles after the game.
Since we're doing pictures of Perrish Cox, here's his other sack. Yes, a cornerback had two sacks tonight. He "sacked" Alex Smith but because the refs ruled the play over, not because Alex went down.

And I really don't want to hear the ''this is not what mainstream says'' rubbish. I have read plenty texts on this subject and I can assure you, this is what maintream says.
Hawking has said this, Penrose has said this... leading Cosmologists have said this. This is in fact what is still being taught in universities. The reason why is because in the very initial state of the universe, there was no size we can speak about. Also, quantum mechanics can go to this state easily, but relativity would permit a singularity in this region. Some have considered this a break down on the theory.
And I am not talking about after the Planck Epoch, I would hope that part is clear enough.

Could West Village be completed without its superstar visionaries?
That's the question Durham leaders are starting to ask, and some insiders suggest the answer is yes -- even as debt troubles loom over the Durham project.
West Village's mix of offices, apartments and restaurants -- what's completed, anyway -- is an important success story in downtown Durham. But the final phase, which includes converting the mammoth Chesterfield building into an additional 157 apartments, almost 70,000 square feet of offices and ground-floor shops, is unfinished, an expensive drag on the operation.
Progress is being held up by lawsuits facing former Duke University basketball stars Christian Laettner and Brian Davis. Lenders claim the pair has defaulted on at least $4.5 million in loans related to the unfinished portion of the project.
One way out of the fix could be for other investors to settle the debts, essentially buying out Davis and Laettner or at least diminishing their stakes. By removing the roadblock, the project could move ahead.
Such a deal has been discussed. But no decision is imminent, and Davis and Laettner don't seem interested.
In recent interviews, both seem focused on finishing what they started in Durham. Davis says the pair expects to settle the suits out of court, and Laettner seemed interested in moving on to a project in Baltimore.
But while West Village's success started with the celebrity of Davis and Laettner -- whose national championships at Duke helped them get the ears of investors -- the project's coda could feasibly come without them.
And while many other development projects are on the shelf during this credit crunch, one could see West Village coming into play quickly.
The project has become an important connector between the city's re-emerging downtown and the more established Brightleaf Square district. All but a few of West Village's 455 completed apartments are full. About 80 percent of its offices are occupied.
Another batch of apartments probably would succeed with or without Davis or Laettner. If they are edged out, don't expect the pair to stay idle. Both appear to be keeping busy outside the real estate realm.
Davis is helping start a community bank in Durham. He said about $20 million has been committed but was light on the details. The project's genesis comes in part from his experience as a young entrepreneur starting West Village.
"In our early stages, it was very difficult to get people or to get financing, and we've seen that the major banks aren't really financing locally," Davis says. "We've got some favorable attention from some of the investors at this time with the concept."
Laettner, meanwhile, may be looking back to the hard court. After 13 years in the NBA, he retired in 2005. He has been making up lost time with his family in Florida. "I'm a little like a soccer dad now," he says. "I spend a lot of time with the kids, take them to all the appointments and commitments."
As much as he has enjoyed that, he confides, "Ever since I quit, there's something a little lacking in my life."
So he's looking into coaching. He was mum on details, but said he wants to coach at a "higher level," not ruling out college hoops or pro ball.
"I wish I could still be playing," he says. "But the body can't do that anymore."

The County Board of Supervisors will hold a hearing Tuesday on the county's proposed master bike plan, which includes a five-mile designated "bike boulevard" for Altadena and a new bike path of nearly eight miles, starting from Eaton Canyon, which would connect to other paths to form a trail to Long Beach.
The bike boulevard would run east to west in Altadena, starting at the intersection of Windsor Avenue and Ventura Steet. It would run along Ventura, switch north to Calaveras east of Fair Oaks, then later to Mendocino Street, Midwick Drive, Glen Canyon Road and down Roosevelt Avenue (the proposed boulevard route is highlighted in purple on the map on the right). The route of that proposal has been changed several times since it was first discussed at a public meeting last year.
Those streets would continue to accommodate cars but would have traffic calming measures designed to slow drivers down (we've discussed what some of those measures might be on the site in ).
The Board of Supervisors hearing will be Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in Room 381B of the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, 500 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. The meeting can be viewed online here.
Second Phase of County Plan
Altadena's Bike Boulevard would be part of the second phase of the county's plan, so, with Board approval, it would likely be completed some time between 2017 and 2027.
In addition to the bike boulevard, Altadena could also see a bike path that would start from just east of the border of Altadena and Pasadena on New York Drive and run south for 7.8 miles along the Eaton Wash, through East Pasadena and San Gabriel, to connect to the Rio Hondo bike path in El Monte.
The overall bike plan includes improvements for unincorporated areas all over the county and would result in more than 60 miles of bike improvements in the West San Gabriel Valley alone, though over half of those would be bike routes, which involve adding road signs identifying an existing road as a preferred place for cyclists to ride.
The full plan can be viewed on right and more details on the plan can be viewed here.

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Voters in Shelbyville Precinct 5 will have a new polling place thanks to an action by the Shelby County Board last week.
The polling will be moved to Cornerstone Community Fellowship Church gym from the courthouse basement.
"It feels like a good place. It's a good idea to get the election place out of the courthouse," said Shelby County Clerk Jessica Fox. She also noted that voters who come to the courthouse have to be screened through the metal detector. The church will have easier access for voters.
The board also approved a resolution opposing a mandate from the National Fire Protection Act requiring a sprinkler systems installed in new residences.
"The mandate is cost prohibitive for homeowners," Cannon said.
In other action the board approved the 2013-2014 fiscal year budget.The budget reflects spending at $10,978,401 and a revenue of $11,213,327 for an "in the black" total of $234,926.
The board also approved a joint agreement between Illinois Department of Transportation and Shelby County for construction costs associated with replacement of the Towbruff bridge. Estimated cost of the project is $450,000 to be shared by the federal and state funds.
The board agreed to a petition from Richland Township for the replacement of a drainage structure with pipe located approximately three miles at an estimated cost of $10,000 to be split between the township and the county.
County Highway engineer Alan Spesard also reported that the Lakewood Bridge has been approved for temporary replacement with pipe tank cars. The structure cost is estimated at $42,157 with a 75 percent reimbursement from IEMA.
Work on a bridge in Ash Grove township, approximately 5 miles southeast of Tower Hill, is expected to begin October 1.
Board member Bob Jordan reported that county municipalities need to have facilities for animals while waiting for the animal control officer to arrive.
"Some are calling and expecting him (Brad Hudson) to be there within minutes. That's not possible," Jordan said.
Board chairman Bruce Cannon suggested that the committee draft a letter to the municipalities asking them to provide holding facilities for animals.
"It could be just a small cage, something to hold them temporarily," Cannon said.
Board member Kay Kearney reported that the satellite office in Shelbyville for the Regional Superintendent of Education office will be closing in January.
"The satellite office is mainly for teacher certificate registration and GED registration. Registrations can be done online for both of these," Kearney said.
Kearney also reported that the cost of the GED will increase to $120 in January, up from the current $50.
"I encourage anyone interested in taking the GED to do it now," Kearney said.
The board approved the following appointments:
- Walt Lookofsky as Conflict Public Defender
- Robert Bridgeman as commissioner of the union Drainage District #1 of Pickaway and Todds Point townships
- Kenneth Kramer as commissioner of the combined Drainage District #2, Town of Tower Hill
- Peter Dove as commissioner of the combined Clarksburg and Shelbyville townships Drainage District #1
- Curt Corzine as commissioner of the union Drainage District #1 for Flat Branch and Assumption Townships, Shelby and Christian counties


text: Keeping with the tradition they've upheld in recent seasons, Duke's Blue Devils have invited the NCAA-II national champion Drury Panthers to play an exhibition men's basketball game at their famed Cameron Indoor Stadium next winter. CLICK HERE FOR THE DRURY TITLE CELEBRATION Drury athletic officials received the e-mail invitation for a preseason game next season in late October as well as congratulations from Duke athletic officials early this afternoon while the team is still in Atlanta after the Panthers defeated Metro State 74-73 on Sunday for their first NCAA-II title. Duke, under the guidance of legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski, is located in Durham, N.C., that has won four national championships and is a perennial favorite to take home the title. The Blue Devils played defending D-II champion Western Washington in an exhibition last season at Cameron Indoor and beat the Warriors 105-87. CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS OF THE GAME Other than official confirmation of the Duke invitation that the team had anticipated would be coming, Monday was a more relaxed pace for the Panthers in the aftermath of their big, come-from-behind victory from 17 points down to defeat the third-ranked Roadrunners of Metropolitan State before 7,763 fans, most to watch a D-II title game since 1971. The Panthers were set to take a tour of the CNN/Turner campus this afternoon, then attend tonight's D-I national championship game between Louisville and Michigan in a suite as guests of the NCAA. The team was to be recognized on the court during a second-half media timeout at the Georgia Dome. CLICK HERE FOR A RECAP OF THE TITLE GAME

Torre likes Haeger's aggressiveness
Los Angeles (76-53) at Cincinnati (56-71), 1:10 p.m. PT
CINCINNATI -- Charlie Haeger has no complaints about his first two starts with the Dodgers. After he was the tough-luck loser in his inaugural outing against the Cardinals, Haeger rebounded to earn his first win of the season in a 2-0 win over the Cubs."The first one was a little bittersweet, pitching well but losing going against one of the elite starters in [Chris] Carpenter," Haeger said. "I'm happy with both starts." Haeger will look for his second win of the season Saturday against the Reds. The game will be broadcast on FOX as part of the Game of the Week package, with Thom Brennaman and Eric Karros calling the game. Haeger has helped Los Angeles stay afloat in its quest for a National League West title as one of the Dodgers' revolving fifth starters. "It feels good knowing they have the confidence in me to go out and help the team out," Haeger said. "I'm focused on winning and trying to help the team get into the playoffs." Dodgers manager Joe Torre said he likes Haeger's persistence in sticking with what works. "The last outing he had, where his knuckleball was better, was a plus but he didn't throw as many strikes, which was a minus," Torre said. "But he still threw it." And Haeger threw it effectively. In that win against the Cubs, Haeger gave up just three hits over seven innings while relying on his primary pitch. "He threw it to guys I didn't think he should have thrown it to," Torre said. "But I like that attitude where he doesn't give in to situations." Haeger has the luxury of being a knuckleball pitcher that teams haven't seen pitch before. Since debuting with the White Sox in 2006, Haeger has bounced around multiple teams. And now he's getting the chance to start. "Any time they see a knuckleballer, it's probably going to be their first time hitting off a knuckleballer, period," Haeger said. "I think I definitely have an advantage in that aspect." Haeger said he began throwing the knuckleball during 2004, his first season in the Minor Leagues. "I threw it as a kid just messing around," Haeger said. "I struggled my first few years with it. I kept working at it and eventually figured it out." As he's continued to craft the knuckleball pitch, Haeger has relied on the advice of the Red Sox's Tim Wakefield and Dodgers coach Charlie Hough. "It's been huge," Haeger said. Torre said Haeger will continue to be in the mix of the rotation as the team moves toward the postseason. "He's a hot hand," Torre said. "He's pitched well two times in a row now. I trust him at this point. It's going to be [a matter of] whether the knuckleball is working or isn't working. I think we'll know that early." Pitching matchup
CIN: LHP Matt Maloney (0-2, 6.11 ERA)
At Triple-A Louisville, Maloney went 9-9 with a 3.08 ERA. His latest start was on Sunday at Toledo, where he allowed four runs and six hits over six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts. Maloney made three starts for the Reds and was optioned back to Louisville on June 20. LAD: RHP Charlie Haeger (1-1, 1.93 ERA)
Haeger, making only his third Major League start, pitched a gem against the Cubs and will remain in the rotation for this game, as Torre said he'd prefer to keep Jeff Weaver in the bullpen. Haeger took a three-hit shutout into the eighth inning and the bullpen held on to preserve his first victory since 2006. Haeger struck out seven. Tidbits
Hiroki Kuroda will throw a simulated game Saturday. ... The Dodgers are now 20-4 against the Reds since 2006. ... Chad Billingsley was unable to pitch at least six innings Friday for the first time since a start on Aug. 2 against the Braves. ... Billingsley has pitched at least six innings in 21 of 27 starts this season. Tickets

Reports from ESPN.com and others say that the Cubs will not offer a contract to right-handed reliever Daniel Bard before tonight's 11 pm Central deadline. He never appeared in a game for the Cubs at either the major or minor league level.
The Cubs claimed Bard from the Red Sox on September 4 after Boston placed him on waivers. Bard was one of the brightest and hardest-throwing young relievers in the game in 2010 and 2011, but his career has been plagued by injuries and a complete loss of control since then. Bard had shown no improvement in his command in the Puerto Rico winter league, having walked nine batters in three appearances and only retiring one batter in that time.
It is possible that Bard returns on a minor league contract if no other team is interested in him.
There are no reports of other players being non-tendered yet, although the Cubs did sign Darnell McDonald to a minor league deal. Presumably the deal includes an invitation to spring training. In any case, Darnell seems to be pretty excited about it.
Thanks twitter fam!! Who else can't wait for 2014?!? #cubs #teammotivated #54
Thanks twitter fam!! Who else can't wait for 2014?!? #cubs #teammotivated #54— Darnell McDonald (@MacDime54) December 2, 2013
McDonald hit .301/.352/.434 in 25 games for the Cubs last season. Presumably, he could provide depth in the outfield either in Chicago or Iowa.
If other players are non-tendered tonight, this post will be updated to include that information.

CLEVELAND -- The Pirates' early-season offensive struggles were compounded by a rash of outs they kept running into on the bases. From getting caught stealing to getting caught trying to advance an extra base, the gaffes kept raising eyebrows.There was a method to that madness, however: Raising the Bucs' identity as a daredevil, running team. Mission far from accomplished, but manager Clint Hurdle is committed to seeing it through. This is more about reputation and trepidation than execution. It is certainly more about mere numbers like stolen-base percentage, although the Pirates are trending up in that regard, with 11 thefts in their last 13 attempts. Andrew McCutchen leads the team with 13 stolen bases in 17 attempts. "As soon as we walk into a place," Hurdle said, "one of the first things that will come up in scouting reports is, 'Guys, these guys will move on the bases. We've gotta be sharp. We've gotta handle the ball.' "It's an important part of our identity, that we're known as a team that will move on the bases. It helps the mentality, and puts more pressure on the defense. Guys know they've got to catch it, get it in the air. No time for bobbles, no time for misses, no time for clangs."
- 142 wins
- 110 wins
Pirates start planning for Trade Deadline
CLEVELAND -- Entry on the to-do lists of both manager Clint Hurdle and general manager Neal Huntington when the Bucs are back in Pittsburgh at the end of this Interleague swing through Baltimore and Cleveland: Take a meeting to discuss needs, and the available currency to pay for them, on the gradual approach to the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. "I haven't yet been involved in the internal discussions, but Neal and I will regroup when we get home," Hurdle said prior to Sunday's series finale against the Indians. "Once you get past the 50-game mark, one-third of the season, you start looking realistically and what you need and where your surplus might be, and start looking for matches. "We've been engaged with other clubs for the last six weeks now. There's no traction anywhere." In his own pregame meeting with reporters, Huntington put it another way: "It's an obvious trade market now. It's non-existent." Mid-June is a relatively tentative time, anyway. The additional and significant drag right now is the introduction of second Wild Card postseason spots in each league, which naturally has more teams on the fence. "We've been told by some clubs that they are going to hold out as long as they can to sell tickets, and keep their fans engaged," Huntington said. "That will obviously take multiple sellers off the market, and you can't blame them for trying to stay in it."
Hurdle said he expects the complications of the new Wild Card berths to lead to a move in the Trade Deadline that has often been debated in the past."With that extra Wild Card, every passing week everybody is trying to decide, 'Is it sooner, or is it later?'" Hurdle said. "The hard part is we're not the only club looking for specific things. A lot more clubs are involved, so it gets pushed back. Teams are taking longer to see if they are buyers or sellers."
Worth noting
Right-hander Daniel McCutchen will continue his rehab from a strained left oblique injury with Triple-A Indianapolis. McCutchen has been on the DL since May 13, and made one rehab appearance with Class A Bradenton on Thursday. Jared Hughes continues moving up in the ranks of National League rookie pitchers. Entering Sunday, Hughes led rookies with a 1.93 ERA and 25 appearances, and was No. 2 with an opponents' average of .217.

Toddler bitten by friend's dog (From thisisoxfordshire)

Toddler bitten by friend's dog
7:10pm Friday 31st August 2012 in News By Ben Wilkinson, Crime Reporter, also covering Barton and Wood Farm. Call me on (01865) 425427
A MUM has called for dangerous dog laws to be changed after her baby daughter was attacked by a Yorkshire terrier.
Fifteen month old Liana Lindsey was attacked by her mum's friend's dog in Headington last month. She suffered bites and cuts to her face.
But police have told her mum Angela Turner there is nothing they can do as the incident happened in a private place.
The mum-of-five, from Yarnton, said: "Any dog that bites, regardless of where, should be put down."
The attack happened in the garden at about 6.20pm when her daughter was sitting on the ground.
The two-year-old dog has now been given away.
Under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, an owner can only be prosecuted if they allow a dog to be dangerously out of control in a public place or in a private place where it is not allowed to be.
Miss Turner, 29, said: "It's annoying that nothing has been done because it didn't happen in a public place.
"It was traumatising. As a parent I wouldn't want anyone to go through that. If she had provoked him then fair enough, but she didn't go near it. We are lucky it was not a bigger dog."
Miss Turner and her partner Carl Lindsey, 23, are now looking to rehome their two American bulldogs.
Miss Turner said: "We don't want to run the risk of this happening again.
"If it was one of them that had gone for her there would be nothing left.
"Nothing is worth more to you than the baby."
A chihuahua was killed by a Staffordshire terrier-type dog in Witney town centre on August 20.
And in February mum Belinda Wyeth calls for laws to go further after police were powerless to act when her five-year-old daughter was scarred in an attack by a border collie in a Bicester home.
Last September, Didcot grandmother Lorraine Harling called for laws to change after her Yorkshire Terrier was killed by a neighbour's dog in a private garden.

I don't think that the dangerous dogs act is working because ANY dog can become dangerous if it hasn't been trained. Clearly this Yorky was with someone who couldn't control it. No one I know would allow ANY dog to get close to a baby who is at eye level. It's unfair of commentators here to blame the mother of the child, surely it's all down to the dog owner? It's refreshing to see the ignorance regarding dogs displayed on the national press websites is perpetuated here; we're main-stream!

They were dog owners, of large powerful dogs and they didn't consider potential risks, at all apparently. They were also unable to spot a poorly trained dog and keep their child safe from it. Probably best they are getting rid of the dogs, I'll re-home them, anyone got details?

My Lab has just nipped me because I put the laptop on instead of giving him some loving and his food first,should I have him put down. We do not know the full story, but any dog owner can guess the situation if a toddler is left with any dog, the toddler will think he/she is playing when they pull/prod/squeeze the dog, but the dog thinks otherwise, and will protect itself, as in this case. The mother left her child alone to play with the dog, and only one person is to blame. I would hate for somebody to put my dog in the same situation, it is not the owners fault 99% of the time, but others who see no risk in letting a dog get taunted.

There seems to be a lot of assumptions being made here about both owner(s) and dogs that merely display the ignorance of the respondents. ANY dog can bite given the wrong circumstances. And most dogs are not properly trained by their owners. How many people allow their dogs to share their beds for instance?
I have a 10 year old Jack Russell/Border Terrier cross. He is very good with my grandchildren, including my 1 year old granddaughter. But I would never leave him alone and unsupervised with them.
Most commonly problems arise because people treat their dogs like other people. They are not people, they are dogs! They are pack animals! We need to understand how dogs socialise and behave in a pack. That way most problems can be avoided.
But they are still dogs. And, given provocation, even the best behaved dog can bite.

Back in 2006...
Younger versions of Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson combined for three sacks on Smith while Kawika Mitchell (remember him?) added another for a total of four sacks. Smith was in a quarterback duel against ... Damon Huard. Or something like that.
The revamped and obviously improved Kansas City defense held Alex Smith to 92 yards passing and the 49ers to 93 yards rushing. In their first three games, the 49ers had given up only four sacks.But the Chiefs took Smith down five times."It's pretty discouraging," 49ers coach Mike Nolan said. "That's a pretty tough loss. I would say that's the most difficult loss in the year and a half that I have been here. I didn't see lack of effort. I saw a lot of poor play."
The Chiefs won that game, 41-0.
Back in 2010...
This was just as bad for Alex Smith. Tamba Hali took over the game with three sacks while Ron Edwards (!) and Andy Studebaker each added a sack for a total of five in that game. That game moved the Chiefs to 3-0 on the season, the last undefeated team that year. It was also the game Shaun Smith was accused of grabbing someone's junk.
The 49ers wound up with 251 total yards, which included 53 yards on their final two plays. Linebacker Tamba Hali had three sacks as the rejuvenated defense under first-year coordinator Romeo Crennel harried Alex Smith all day and. Frank Gore rushed for just 43 yards on 15 carries and had 102 yards on nine catches.
"We were pretty ineffective the entire game," Smith said. "I don't know if there is anything to point to. I think it is everything. We were pretty inept all the way around, throwing the ball, running the ball, protecting, penalties, it was all in there."
The Chiefs won that game, 31-10.
Two games, nine sacks. I'm happy that the Chiefs did that ... but also kinda sad that they were doing it to their new QB. It's like a real world glass case of emotion.
