Former Montague County sheriff admits to sexually assaulting woman after promising not to arrest her

The former sheriff of Montague County has admitted to sexually assaulting a woman after promising her he wouldnt arrest her when deputies found drug paraphernalia in her house.
Bill Keating, whose term as sheriff ended Jan.1, agreed Friday to plead guilty to a federal charge of deprivation of civil rights under color of law after he confessed to authorities that he had forced the woman to give him oral sex following a drug raid on Nov. 14, 2008.
Keating is expected to turn himself in at a hearing at 10:30 a.m. Thursday before Magistrate Judge R. Kerry Roach in Wichita Falls. His attorney, Mark Daniel of Fort Worth, declined to comment Monday.
The FBI and Texas Rangers are investigating further allegations of sexual misconduct by Keating and other former Montague County employees at the jail, and state charges could result, officials said.
The citizens of the county will be chagrined at whats going to be shown, said Montague County District Attorney Jack McGaughey. He said by mid-February he expects to have secured indictments against the former sheriff as well as up to a dozen former jail personnel and prisoners alleging sexual misconduct inside the jail.
According to court papers filed Monday, on the morning of Nov. 14, Keating and some of his deputies executed an arrest warrant at a home occupied by a woman and her boyfriend.
Keating, wearing civilian clothes but with his gun and badge on his belt, entered the bedroom and found the couple sleeping. Deputies found paraphernalia used to make methamphetamine, and traces of what appeared to be meth in a plastic container.
Keating directed his deputies to arrest the boyfriend, then ordered another deputy to leave the bedroom.
You are about to be my new best friend, he told the woman after she had gotten dressed and he had closed the door, according to court documents.
He told the woman that he found illegal drugs in her house and that in order to avoid going to jail, she would be required to assist him, or perform oral sex on him, court documents state.
Keating told the woman that if she complied he would assist her in obtaining a job, a place to live and she would not be criminally charged with possessing any drugs or drug making equipment that was found within the residence, court documents state.
If she did not comply,she would go straight to jail, court documents state.
Keating then took the woman to his personal vehicle, which was parked outside. He drove her to a secluded area off a farm to market road and parked.
He unzipped his pants, instructed [the victim] to perform oral sex on him, and grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her head down into his lap causing her pain and bodily injury, court papers state.
The sheriff later admitted to federal authorities that he had the woman perform oral sex on him on multiple occasions and agree to be a Montague County sheriffs department informant.
If convicted of the federal charge, Keating faces up to 10 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
What a jerk, said Paul Cunningham, who replaced Keating as sheriff this year, after learning the specifics of the federal charge Monday afternoon.There aint no other way to put it.

I just can't beleive this.We teach our children, our teens to trust law enforcement and then something like this happens. What are we suppose to tell our childern!!!!!
#3 Jan 27, 2009
Tell them that they can trust most Law Enforcement Officers. It is sad that this has happened and unfortunately there are some authority figures that you can not trust. I am deeply saddened that he has brought this cloud over our county and the Law Enforcement proffession. The only thing that can be done is to learn from his mistakes. I hope that he and the other offenders are given stiff punishment for their actions so that others will think twice before committing these types of crimes.
#4 Jan 27, 2009
What's so sad for the county citizens, is that this is only the tip of the iceberg. I believe there will be several going to jail over this. Hope they think it was worth it.

Well, all of you that voted for him last time and this time for that matter are getting exactly what you voted for. I was shocked that he was voted in and even more shocked when he got as many votes this last time around. You don't hire the wolf to guard the hen house!

You said it. This duy has been a menace to this county since day one.
#7 Jan 27, 2009
I did not vote for him, and as a matter of fact, I campaigned hard against him. Constable Conway hauled his butt all over the county introducing him to everyone, and encouraging people to vote for Keating. Conway may be a "good old boy" but he also gets his share of blame on this one. Keating looked like an old drunk then, and still does.
#8 Jan 29, 2009
What is interesting is that I have had a hard time finding someone who said/admitted that they DID vote for Keating. If you voted straight ticket for Rep....then you voted for him!!!

I have never voted straight ticket... People need to vote for the person and their values, not the affilation they have with a certain party. There is plenty of blame to go around and a lot of clean-up to do. As if Montague County needed anything else to deal with....
#10 Jan 29, 2009
Well said, "Hate to say". I NEVER EVER vote straight ticket for precisely this reason...some moron gets on the ballot under a party name and rides it all the way to the bank. Or hopefully in this case....all the way to JAIL!

Well Its Official lets see what happens next.
A former North Texas sheriff pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to sexually assaulting a woman, admitting he told her it was the only way to avoid jail for a drug charge.
Former Montague County Sheriff Bill Keating faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced in May for the civil rights violation.
He answered yes, sir when U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert K. Roach asked if he admitted to committing all elements of the offense listed in the document, including having an evil motive by intending to deprive the victim of her rights and causing her bodily injury.
Roach did not detain Keating, saying he did not pose harm to the community and wasnt a flight risk because of his stable marriage and family ties to the area. But Roach ordered Keating, who recently surrendered his Texas peace officers license, to turn in his weapons and meet other conditions.
Keating, 62, refused to comment afterward as a federal employee whisked him out of the courthouse.
In the signed plea documents, Keating admitted to forcing the woman to perform a sex act after he and deputies went to her house to arrest her boyfriend one day in November. The one-term sheriff was defeated in a runoff after the March primary election, but his replacement did not take office until earlier this month.
Its extremely troubling, assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Calvert said after the Thursday hearing.This can and should serve as a wake-up call to all individuals who hold positions of trust.
Calvert said he did not oppose Keatings remaining free until the sentencing because this crime and other alleged misdeeds happened when he was acting as the sheriff. Keating will no longer have access to his gun, badge or the jail, Calvert said.
Keating and some jail personnel also face state charges related to having sex with inmates and taking illegal substances into the jail, Montague County District Attorney Jack McGaughey said. He declined to reveal specifics Tuesday but said he would present cases to a grand jury in February.
Although Keating probably will be in prison for some time because there is no parole in the federal system, McGaughey said he plans to pursue state charges against the former sheriff.
I would like to have the public know everything that was involved here, McGaughey said after the hearing.I would like to see the full picture emerge.
The jail in Montague, 50 miles southeast of Wichita Falls, was immediately shut down and inmates transferred to a nearby facility after Sheriff Paul Cunningham took office Jan. 1. He found that surveillance cameras cords had been disconnected; recliners were in cells; some bathrooms and cells could be locked from the inside; and inmates had made partitions out of paper towels to block jailers view inside their cells. One alarming discovery was a type of rack made of nails.

Looks like Bittlinger will get his share of this one also. He had to have known what was going on. It was his watch.

WTF?'He's a nice guy so we'll let him run free until we sentence him for crimes he has freely admitted to.' Sorry, the dirt bag is anything but a nice guy, throw his sleezy ass in jail.

You are right NotWoW. He is a dirtbag and if the shoe was on the other foot he would not hesitate to throw the guilty party into a cell, well if it were a male anyway. I think the way this idiot has acted is a disgrace to the county and to law enforcement everywhere. But that said, I wonder whatg judge Towery will do when keating is broought up on state charges in 97TH District court. I don't think that Keating has made any friends here in the county and I hope he does not get that same chance.
#16 Feb 1, 2009
I'm not a big fan of Judge Towery, but I do believe he is fair and just and will do what is needed. So--we shall all await with bated breath until the Grand Jury hands down indictments. Still wondering about Montague Co's northern jp who allegedly fondled female prisoners. Wonder if McGaughy will keep it under wraps, or will it come out also.
#17 Feb 1, 2009
I think McGaughy will do the right thing if the JP is involved.
#18 Jan 28, 2014
Well, everyone should be glad that Laura Maloney had enough guts to talk about what he did to her. Had she not, there's no telling what else he would've gotten away with by now.
#19 Feb 2, 2014
She had him dead to right until she swallered tha evidence.

Retailers should expect online purchases to become a bigger piece of retail sales, particularly in the key fourth-quarter period, where they could soon represent as much as 20% of holiday sales, according to Sucharita Mulpuru, VP and principal analyst, Forrester Research, and a leading expert on e-commerce and trends in the online shopping space.
"The pie for bricks-and-mortar retail is shrinking," Mulpuru said during a presentation at the National Retail Federation's 101st Annual Convention & EXPO in New York City.
Along with convenience, free shipping and promotional deals are driving shoppers to the Web. The shift is expected to persist as 55% of online shoppers now say they have come to "expect" free shipping, while 52% "expect" it for returns too, according to a survey by Shop.org and Forrester.
These offers, Mulpuru explained, "are being seen as a cost of doing business, but they are also an accelerator of e-commerce adoption."
When it comes to marketing, Web searches and email continue to be the most influential tools. In a consumer poll conducted by Bizrate Insights and Forrester, 47% of online purchasers said they learned about a deal by visiting a site directly, while 33% were informed through the retailer's email. In contrast, only 3% were spurred to action due to a social site. With this in mind, Forrester predicts retailers will increase their search budgets, from $3.45 billion in 2011 to $5.37 billion by 2015.
With a boost from tablets, mobile shopping is expected to accelerate. Forrester projects mobile commerce will jump from $6 billion in 2011 to $11 billion in 2012 and triple to $34 billion by 2016.
While those sales numbers are significant, an even bigger impact of mobile could come from functions that leverage the in-store experience, such as cameras, speakers, microphones and scanners, according to Mulpuru. Mobile devices will be able "to push the experience in ways we haven't seen before," she said.
Currently, according to a survey by Shop.org and Forrester, the top uses are checking store hours (30%), finding store location (23%), comparing prices (15%) and redeeming coupons (15%).
Mobile commerce, however, is also creating headaches. One of the biggest challenges involves creating content, particularly given the variety of tablet devices and smartphones that are available to consumers. Mulpuru advised retailers to follow the blueprint of technology leaders such as Amazon and Google and take a "lowest common denominator" approach to design, whereby content can be easily translated across devices.
She also advised retailers to consider adding Android and Apple teams to their staff to help. Mulpuru pointed to an approach taken by Nordstrom, which developed its own internal 'innovation lab' — "a little microcosm within their IT organization." It is made up of a handful of employees who create and run experiments.
Mulpuru also observed that the impact of behemoths — Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook — "seem to loom over our strategic decisions.
"Nearly one-third of online shoppers begin their search on Amazon, 47% of global Web visitors go to Google daily, and 43% go to Facebook daily, she reported. "In many cases," she said, "these are not just gatekeepers, but curators of our content."
However, Mulpuru stressed, while it is wise for retailers to "recognize game changers and adopt new business approaches when necessary," it is also important "not to get caught up in hype."
Despite the big expectations, social commerce is struggling. Accounting for less than 1% of e-commerce volume, it was a "negligible contributor" to holiday sales, according to Mulpuru.
"Yet, unbelievably, retailers are not heeding the obvious," said Mulpuru, citing a Shop.org/Forrester survey, which found 22% of the retailers polled already had custom stores on social networks, and 61% said they were still planning to implement one.

/// Demystifying Amazon's Cloud Player
Moving your digital music files from your old computer to your phone to your laptop to your new computer used to be a lengthy and annoying process, especially for consumers with thousands of tracks from different music sources. Now, with tech companies offering "cloud," or Web server-based, storage solutions for music, you can theoretically access files from any device with an Internet connection. But for most consumers, the concept of cloud storage and music "matching" services are still confusing, even as these services aim to streamline your music-listening experience. For this week's review, I tested Amazon's Cloud Player, a Web and mobile app that automatically recognizes the music files you've already purchased, adds those same tracks to your Amazon cloud account, and then lets you stream those files on up to 10 devices, even if you got the music from iTunes, from a CD, or some other source. [ See post to watch video ] Amazon is able to do this in part because it recently obtained the music rights from the four major record labels in the U.S. The service is now more comparable to iTunes Match, Apple's cloud-based service, which similarly scans and matches non-iTunes music files on up to 10 devices. The Cloud Player will also store and play the music you've purchased via Amazon, and consumers might be surprised to know that some newer, popular songs that cost $1.29 in iTunes are only 99 cents on Amazon. I found Amazon's Cloud Player easy to use, despite the fact that I admittedly didn't "get" scan-and-match services before. I liked the user interface of the Amazon Cloud Player mobile app, and after more than a week of testing, I was regularly using it as an alternative app to iTunes on my iPhone. I even felt compelled, for the first time, to purchase music files from Amazon.com. But users are restricted from buying songs through the Cloud Player app on Apple devices, which means I might continue using it for listening to and streaming — but not buying — music. A third player worth noting here is Google Play, which lets you keep up to 20,000 songs in a Google cloud "locker" for no charge. But Google Play requires you to upload all of the songs to this digital locker yourself, since Google doesn't yet have the rights to scan and create a match of your library for you, so I didn't thoroughly test this service. Amazon's Cloud Player app is free to download, and users can buy or upload up to 250 songs from their computers to the Cloud Player at no charge. After that, the service costs $25 a year, the same price Apple charges for iTunes Match. The paid version of Cloud Player offers storage for up to 250,000 non-Amazon-purchased songs, whereas Apple's iTunes Match has a limit of 25,000 songs. These two services are able to automatically scan and match your songs for you, but only if the songs can actually be matched within their libraries. The Amazon MP3 store sells more than 20 million songs, compared with the iTunes catalog of 28 million songs, though some of that music may not be available to match, due to license agreements. With that basic understanding of how it works, I downloaded and used the Amazon Cloud Player on three devices: On my iPhone, on an Android-based Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone, and on the Web

Medicare Enrollment – Supplementation Enrollment Period
In most situations people start to think about Medicare enrollment at the end of the year. This is a really good time to think about Medigap coverage and that is when you have to make changes. We are faced with a plan coverage that will always be the same but rates are going to change annually. Different companies will change the rates on a fixed date of the year while others will do so when the policy anniversary date is due. No matter when it happens, when the rate changes there is a really strong chance that you can choose to another plan that is equal in coverage but is cheaper and offered by another company. This is done in order to save money.

Medicare Disenrollment Period For 2012
[…] […] If you are enrolled into a Medicare Advantage Plan, you are allowed to drop your Medicare Advantage Plan and go back to original Medicare. If you do this, you will also want to enroll into a Medicare Part D Prescription drug plan. Original Medicare is the Part A and Part B that is on your paper Medicare card that you received when you first joined Medicare. It does not include drug coverage which is why you would want to enroll into a Part D drug plan. You have until February 14th to enroll into a Part D drug plan. The coverage starts the first day of the month after you enroll. For example, if you enroll into the drug plan on January 20th, your coverage would start on February 1st. If you wait until February 14th to enroll, then your coverage starts on March 1st.Source: medicare-plans.net […]Source: medicare-plans.net […]

Earlier Medicare Enrollment Period Brings New Round Of Ads
Politico Pro: Medicare Ads Sell Health Reform Benefits This year's Medicare open enrollment television ads include mentions of the benefits of the health reform law — a point that's likely to raise the ire of opponents of health reform. The ads are running to remind seniors about Medicare' open enrollment period, which runs through Dec. 7. Last year, Republicans and opponents of the health reform law accused the Obama administration of using Medicare commercials with actor Andy Griffith to advertise the benefits of the law. This year' ads feature three male seniors discussing the open enrollment period. When one man asks another if he can stick with his old Medicare plan, the other says, "Sure, or find a new plan with better coverage, less cost or both" (Haberkorn, 10/21).

Baby Boomers U. S. (The Blog)
Ask about Medicare Supplement (MediGap) open enrollment periods: If your MediGap plans I isn't working for you any longer, and you can't enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan outside of AEP, you may be able to change your MediGap plan during select MediGap open enrollment periods. MediGap plans are usually medically underwritten, which means the insurance companies don't have to accept your application if you've been on Medicare Part B for more than three months. AEP is the best time to drop a MediGap plan and switch to a Medicare Advantage plan. But, some states and insurance companies have created open enrollment periods for MediGap plans as well. These open enrollments allow you to update or change your MediGap health coverage without medical underwriting. But the rules change from state to state, so, if you want or need to make a change outside of AEP, investigate the MediGap open enrollment rules in your state by contacting a licensed agent.

Medicare Supplemental Insurance: What It is and Why You May Need It
In order to acquire Medicare Supplemental Plans advantages, you have to be enrolled in Portion A or Portion B of Medicare currently. For the duration of the open enrollment period, a person can acquire a Medigap strategy on a assured concern basis, in which no medical screening is needed. This open enrollment period starts inside of 6 months of turning 65 or enrolling in Medicare Portion B at 65 or older. Outside of the open enrollment period, the insurance coverage organization that is issuing the Medigap Insurance might demand that you acquire an attending physician's statement or a medical screening in order to get a strategy. If you are underneath the age of 65 but are still getting Medicare, it may well be a tiny a lot more difficult to get North Carolina Medicare Supplements. A slight majority of states demand that insurers offer at least one particular type of Medigap insurance coverage to every person, and 25 of them demand that Medigap policies be supplied to all Medicare recipients, even though, so it is crucial to look into the rules for your state if you fall into this category.

I decided to take the plunge and foster a mother cat and her four adorable kittens. I'm really excited, but also nervous because I am someone who is a bit of an overachiever when it comes to taking care of my pets. I want to make her time here the next six weeks as comfortable as possible as well as I want to be able to provide the her and the kittens with the best possible chance of being adopted. A couple of questions I have are.....
1) What kind of bedding should I use? Newspaper....because it is easy to clean up and replace?
2) Is there something I should be feeding the mom in order to give her additional nutrition for her and the babies?
3) When do kittens start using the litterbox on their own? Does the mother show them? I'm assuming I should get a low entry litter box?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

2. Typically you want to feed a nursing mother a high-quality kitten food for the extra calories.
3. The mother should show the kittens how to use a litter box and much of it is instinctual as well, since cats want to cover their waste. A low-entry box would be good for when the babies are up and moving around or you could just use a shoebox or other cardboard box cut down to the appropriate height.

Piggin' Out
Lately, I've found myself eating like a pig. A guinea pig. Having to shop for Molly has influenced my own diet. Guinea pigs are strict herbivores which means they only eat vegetables and fruit - no grains, no nuts, no seeds, and definitely no meat! Fruit is mainly used as a treat and shouldn't make up a large part of their diet because they're prone to diabetes and obesity. Can you imagine a fat diabetic guinea pig? So sad. Like humans, their little bodies don't make vitamin C either. Instead, they need veggies in their diet to satisfy their vitamin C needs because, guess what... they're also susceptible to scurvy! The pellet food sold for guineas in pet stores usually has vitamin C in it. The problem, however, is that vitamin C loses its potency in a very short amount of time. All this means Molly needs things like kale, red peppers, and mustard greens, to supplement her pellet diet.
As a responsible guinea pig mom, I find myself spending a lot more time in the produce section of the grocery store and a lot less time in the Lean Cuisine/Smart Ones aisle. While there, I pick up a few things for myself that catch my eye. It's been a long time since my fridge has had this much produce in it! At the moment, I have kale, spinach, parsley, red peppers, grapes, strawberries, oranges, and bananas in my kitchen. I know that doesn't sound like much for a lot of you, but I live alone and rarely have time to actually cook during the week. Plus, despite their name, guinea pigs can be picky eaters. Molly doesn't seem to like red peppers, but I have two big ones sitting in my fridge (minus the few slivers I tried to feed her). I can't let them go to waste, can I? So I need to get creative with these leftover veggies and I need your help, dear friends. Any good recipes out there for things like kale or mustard greens? I've made kale chips once but I'd like to try something new. Got any ideas?

I love making stuffed peppers using red peppers. I stuff em with gimme lean "sausage", rice, shallot and any other veggies I have in my fridge (dice and sauté before stuffing). Mix the stuffing ingredients with a little tomato paste or even pasta sauce, and cook in the oven until the pepper is tender. Top with mozzarella cheese, or mix some in the stuffing, or both! As for greens, there are tons of "rubbed" or "massaged" kale salad recipes out there. It is a great way to eat kale raw!ReplyDelete

Segregating Sound: Inventing Folk and Pop Music in the Age of Jim Crow
8 Apr 2010 // 5:00 PM
When composer W.C. Handy published the first major collection of blues songs in 1926, reimagining pop tunes as folk songs, he explicitly framed the blues as folk music.
Race in America, Race in Music: Different Trains, Same Two Tracks
27 May 2010 // 5:00 PM
It's an American pop music creation myth: that blues and folk music developed along two distinct tracks, with their own distinct traditions, divided along racial lines. The truth is, of course, far more slippery and complicated.

National defense is important. I'd be willing to pay about half of what this bill costs me. I'm absolutely sure that waste could be cut out of the defense budget without limiting the protection of our country.

Famed UW Professor Hired Employee to "Submit to His Sexual Demands," BuzzFeed Investigation Finds
Speaking as someone who is suing a Canadian university for covering up sexual assault - the real, important story here is that a public university not only a) initiated investigations (yes, after knowing damn well what he was up to for years and years); b) produced reports that were not secret to a few key administrators; and c) they actually provided those reports to the public, most likely through a FOIA request. And they aren't redacted so much as to be useless.
Transparency is important, and the wide cultural acceptance of transparency as a fundamental value is probably the only reason this asshole will lose his job. Because once UW realized that enough outsiders knew about it, they accepted his end as inevitable and began the administrative steps to make it happen.
The academy in both nations is extremely tolerant - nay, encouraging - of serial sexual predators. The main difference can be summed up as such: Canadian universities use public money to shroud, hide, and bully complainants with threats to sue for libel/slander. (This is crazy easy in Canada because they don't actually have free speech.) American universities use public money to pay off complainants. At least in the second scenario, the victims get something and the public has the opportunity to know what's happening.

Rape Story Correction Is About a Failure of Journalism, Not a Failure of Trust
I am in the process right now of getting UBC to do something, anything about a grad student rapist (not of me, but I warned them about his behavior months before he raped someone and they wrung their hands). I almost dropped the process until the momentum of this story and also the Jian Ghomeshi scandal made it seem likely there would be sympathy. The reversal fucking sucks.

@25 I quote for you: "The only place to get good rural food is private potlucks where there are 14 salads and none of them have lettuce."
And also you stated that rural restaurants are garbage. So I'm pretty sure you called me full of shit for agreeing with you.

How to Adjust to Multicultural Seattle if You're from a Small Town
Oh, and I've eaten in rural joints in almost every state west of the Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, on and on. Not just "breakfast" places, but the only restaurant in tiny towns with only four buildings. That garbage is more consistent than a national chain.

How to Adjust to Multicultural Seattle if You're from a Small Town
There's a restaurant in my neighborhood that I hate. The once I ate there I was rocked back to every meal I have swallowed over the years at America's greasy spoons, unhealthy and fatty without the virtue of tasting good, bacon and eggs and toast always done the same way no matter how you instruct the kitchen to change it. You can save your breath. I'm not sure they know what "poached" means. Utter reliance on cheap ketchup and jam to force the food past your tongue. It is VERY popular amongst the old white people in the neighborhood.
It is the sort of restaurant for people who mistake satiation for satisfaction, who think that inputting the calories to continue existing is equivalent to a meal well done. It is a place to bring your out of town relatives when they are confused, eyes darting like hunted rabbits, about why my town has so many Chinese restaurants and yet so few Chinese buffets.
Point is: Charles is absolutely right about rural food.

Get a chihuahua!!! I have two, they're super sweet and love to cuddle! They don't require too much exercise and have a certain bond with only one person(me in my family). Our older chihuahua LOVES climbing under your covers and falling asleep. They always want to be on your lap and follow you everywhere. My profile picture is my chi puppy Layla. PS they're chihuahua mixes, were unsure the mix though, probably a min pin. So get a chi mix! They have less health issues and save you money on vet bills(which is good)! And they NEVER bark. Very obedient, very calm, very sweet and get along with our two labs(both weighing around 98 pounds each). Our full grown chi/mix is about 6 pounds and Layla,puppy, weighs 2ish pounds 1 and a half months old.

Your maltese might be a really good choice for you. A maltese-poodle mix could also be great. Thanks for answering the questions. Maltese are smart, loyal, loving dogs, but have a bit of spunk & sass, too! They love to cuddle, and will likely be your very best friend. They can learn many tricks, and really want to please their people.
I still recommend looking at shelters and rescues, even if you prefer a puppy. There are thousands of pure bred & maltese mixes ready to go to a loving furever home.
The money you save by adopting can go towards some good training books. A really good one is "Training Your Dog Like a Pro" by Jean Donaldson. It has easy to read language, step by step instructions, pictures, training logs..and a dvd also!

Maltese is best option I have two of them really good dogs thy dont need much exercise , dont shed, although they requiere alot of grooming every dog its a bath right?:) Maltese are super loyal and can last for up to 20 years (my dogs vet had a maltese that lived up to 21 yrs) mine is 16 and my younger maltese is 7 months old they both love to cuddle they are very easy to train and so much fun to be around they are also very social with other animal and people

How about a Bichon Frise? They are small dogs that are laid back. They love to be with their people. They are hypoallergenic but still have a lot of hair. They need to be groomed frequently. They don't need a lot of exercise. They are velcro dogs. They love to play. They are usually great with people and are good with other animals.
Look into the Bichon Frise, this breed is a good match.

I have a Volpino Italiano and a Basset Hound. The Basset is extremely cuddly, but he forgets that he is 50 lbs!!LOL He's pretty laid back, but can be stubborn and opinionated. He doesn't need a whole lot of exercise, but loves to have a few good romps outside when he can. An unfenced yard wouldn't be great:-( My Volpino is a fabulous dog!! He weighs under 20lbs, so he's not really small, but a good size to interact with a Lab(he used to have a lab buddy and they got along great). My nephew has a Maltese and I never cared for him as he was a barker, very finicky and snippy, but that is probably due to his training. My friend has a Mini Yorkie and I'd sneak her into my purse in a minute!!LOL She's a lovely little dog, but I'd honestly be afraid of a dog that small trying to play with a larger dog as well. I realize that any dogs can get a long, but those little guys are very fragile. Good luck!

I recommend looking into a long haired Chihuahua they are super sweet and are very good with other dogs. My chihuahua is the love of my life, I've never had a sweeter companion. You might also look into just getting a mutt, they have less health issues than pedigree dogs. Check out your local humane society im sure youll find one youll fall in love with and save a life.
Member 1142012 answered on 11/24/12. Helpful? / 0
I'd suggest checking out the shelter and asking the people who work at the shelter about what dog they think would fit best into your family... I've personally done alot of volunteering and I know that the people over shelters can for sure help you to at least narrow it down a little. Some other things I'd consider are:
1. Are you looking for a dog who doesn't bark much?
2. Are you sure that YOU can provide food and care and everything else that a dog needs? It sounds to me that you are going to have to do that. Remember: Dogs can live for 14 years or LONGER!
I think that you should check out this website, it's really informative and MAY help you in your choice for a dog, I'd also suggest researching a lot about the breed of your choice. Here's the website: www.yourpurebredpuppy.com . Good luck in your search :D

CNN ran a photo of Filner with his arms around her, but his hand is on her waist, not the buttocks. And she is smiling.
CNN says that she "is the owner of a local spa and was named Woman of the Year in a local magazine."
But let's look into that assertion. According to a lawsuit on file in Superior Court, she owned La Jolla Spa on Fay Avenue in La Jolla. She bought the building at 7630 Fay and opened the business in 2002 with her then-husband (her second), Dr. Mitchel Goldman, a plastic surgeon.
In 2009 they were divorced. La Jolla Spa became her separate property. She charged that he removed medical equipment. The company, Fay Avenue Properties, went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2011. The San Diego County Sheriff evicted York and all of her companies from the building in October of last year.
In July of last year, she filed for Chapter 7 (liquidation) personal bankruptcy. She made the filing in Los Angeles bankruptcy court. However, the bankruptcy never went through and was dismissed.
On a "Truth versus Lies" site, she claimed she married Goldman without a prenuptial agreement. "This resulted in my having to pay for all his family expenses, including child support, spousal support, legal fees." She claims she had been worth millions as a result of a successful modeling career, but Goldman drained her.
However, the other side is also told on Truth versus Lies. It claims her L.A. filing for bankruptcy was the second in 13 years. It also says she failed to disclose all of her liabilities, judgments,, liens, back taxes and more. "She should list several million dollars in liabilities, yet she only disclosed $14,000," says her opponent. (There is a picture of Goldman on the site.)
I saw this and went to the same site you did for some further reading. If any of the 18 women were in this for the money (and any notoriety she could gain out of this), this is the one. This one is a trainwreck.
aardvark: When the women started coming forward, I predicted there would be many more. I expected at least 20. That bogey is within reach.
Many lack credibility. I would say that York does. CNN and the U-T have not reported the information on this blog. Possibly this was a matter of not doing homework, rather than deliberately glorifying all the complainants, which has been the case with the U-T, KPBS, Channel 10 and other media outlets.
It will be interesting to see if mainstream media pick up this information.
Best, Don Bauder
Why, exactly, does she lack credibility? Because she's had financial problems? That would be relevant if she was seeking monetary damages, but that's not the case.
Randy: You will have to figure that out all by yourself. Best, Don Bauder
I think there is a glaring lack of credibility. If you're long out of business you don't go on camera and talk like you're operating a going concern. I saw her on the TV interview and she talked like her spa was still in business. She's good at crying too, but being a wannabe actress on a cancelled reality show can explain that: http://addicted-to-beauty.oxygen.com/meet-the-cast-atb/dianne
Ponzi: I didn't see the TV interview, but I got the impression she had told CNN that her business is still active. Perhaps she has started another business. Best, Don Bauder
Ponzi: Publicity can reap monetary rewards. Best, Don Bauder
Randy--I am not doubting her accusing Filner, but in this case, she could possibly be doing this for financial gain, unlike the other 17. Again, it's possible she could be doing this for financial gain. We don't know yet.
TV Talk show circuit, perhaps?
Ponzi: She will be opening in Vegas any time now. Best, Don Bauder
Ponzi: That is a possibility. Best, Don Bauder
aardvark: The accusers would seem to have a number of different motivations. Best, Don Bauder
What's interesting to me about this parade of allegedly damaged goods is that recent complainants are not using KPBS as the venue for telling-all anymore. Maybe somebody at parent organization SDSU got the idea that all those confessions of manhandling were starting to look phony and were bad for fundraising.
monaghan: That's giving them credit for intelligence that is not in evidence. Best, Don Bauder
You know who else has been bankrupt? You will find this source unimpeachable.
"But it turns out that Burdick has experienced her own navigation problems, as evidenced by a December 2002 Chapter 7 filing in federal bankruptcy court here that listed total debts of $487,022.65 against total assets of just $78,327.99, and $72,064 in unpaid personal income taxes owed the State of California and the federal government."
Read more: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2009/jun/24/under-radar-1/#ixzz2cdtboZFg
Randy: Good for you! I had forgotten about that. Matt and I are in regular contact, but he didn't remind me of this. Good information.
There will be more on Burdick's role in this matter. Best, Don Bauder
Randy--Except Burdick is not claiming that Filner ever sexually harassed her.
aardvark: I don't believe that claim has been made. Best, Don Bauder
Let the record show Randy Dotinga quoting Matt Potter. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
monaghan: Randy is reading the right publication. I don't see signs of his waking up, however. Best, Don Bauder
It's the photos, she looks happy in both, and you can see his fingers in one. Where are the photos or any confirming evidence whatsoever in any of these charges?
Psycholizard: Who needs evidence? This is a lynching, remember. Best, Don Bauder
That clinic charged very high fees, too. I went there twice with a friend.
When an attempt is made to hide assets in a bankruptcy, there are problems....
The schedules are sworn under oath, however. Any omission would amount to perjury, if knowingly done.
I believe I met this woman.
If she made false statrments under oath, that is fair cross examination stuff because it shows she has no respect gor the oath.
Diogenes: An enemy charged her with making false statements in the bankruptcy filing. That's not the same as a bankruptcy judge making such a charge. The BK did not go through. Best, Don Bauder
A false statement under oath even by omission could form the basis of an attack on a witness' credibility during a subsequent civil case. I sure that some judges would sustain an objection. But once the question was asked, the damage to the witness' credibility would have been done, despite an instruction from the judge to the jury to ignore the question.
"Have you ever lied under oath?"
Witness: "No!"
"Do you understand that you have taken an oath to tell the truth?"
Witness: "Yes!"
"And you always tell the truth?"
Then you have laid the foudation to impeach.
Diogenes: Good points, but impeach from what? Best, Don Bauder
Don: Here it just means to call the witness's credibility into question. I doesn't really take an object, grammatically. Then the jury will have grounds to disbelieve the witness, without being later challenged themselves. Spoken from a juror's point of view, this is my understanding.
Yankeedoodle: Oh. You are using the second definition. I missed it. Best, Don Bauder
Look at the pictures carefully, in both she is leaning in at the Mayor, and the Mayor is standing vertically. In one, her left breast is very close to or touching the Mayor's chest. She's wearing a business suit, so at least she was well padded for her horrific experience.
Heterosexuals flirting.
Let's not be too harsh, she may truly believe that she is assisting in the capture of a sexual predator. That's what everyone is telling her.
Psycholizard: You mean he could file suit against her? (Just kidding.) Why would anybody go to a mayor to complain about an allegedly predatory loan and foreclosure? Best, Don Bauder
Maybe she heard he was easy to kiss, and she was wanting some kisses. They are indeed a valuable commodity.
Yankeedoodle: You mean these accusers will shake him down for making a sloppy kiss? Best, Don Bauder
Don: I mean maybe she was not going to visit him in his office to complain, but because she heard that if one wanted kisses, one could get some from him.
Yankeedoodle: If wishes were kisses... Best, Don Bauder
I have many, many, many photos of pols posing and enjoying each other at functions. We'll begin with Derrick Roach and Lorena; frontal touching at its best. And where is Roach's hand? I need to know now.
HonestGovernment: Ask Lorena or Derrick where his hand was. Best, Don Bauder
One more "where is your hand, sir?" picture for today. Click the photo to enlarge; you can see his elbow isn't cocked, so his hand is obviously below waist. (I won't tell you her name, but she's a Republican Tea party member with JG at the Lincoln Club Dinner.)
HonestGovernment: Ask Goldsmith where his hand was, but don't expect an honest answer. Best, Don Bauder
Faye street is also the street that Pallamarys office is on.
historymatters: But she was booted out of Fay Street building last year. Best, Don Bauder
Filner. Headlock. Cheek Slobber. Lizard Tongue. and now: GRAB ASS.
Filner is definitely a very touchy-feely slobbering-in-your-face hand-on-your-ass tongue-in-your-mouth Strong Mayor when getting to know his female constituents. Kind of really too over friendly to say the least.
Now you watch what happens with the next mayor when his picture is taken with people: You'll be seeing awkward pictures where the new mayor is standing off to the side by himself, away from the other people in the picture, with the new mayor's hands securely placed in his pockets, and mouth zipped shut, to prevent any headlocking, ass-grabbing, and lizard-tongue attacks. lol
MeReader: That's what we need: a politician with his or her mouth zipped shut. Best, Don Bauder
MeReader: The next mayor has to be clean. But there is nobody who meets that description. Best, Don Bauder
At some point even a dog pile gets a dog.
Ponzi: That's why we HAVE to know what each level of government (local, state, federal) threatened to charge him with. Somebody should file a lawsuit to make all that information public. Best, Don Bauder
Dianne York was putting the moves on Filner, the photos prove it. We need more of these photos. Every one of these accusers took pictures with the Mayor I suspect, and if the horrors described really happened, they wouldn't be smiling arm in arm afterwards. In most cases, these pictures aren't presented with the accusation. Let's ask for the photos, each and every one.
Psycholizard: Good idea. Best, Don Bauder
Dianne York pictured with her boyfriend at 'The Fossil Ball" at the Natural History Museum a few months ago. Also mingling in the small gathering, defeated candidate Carl DeMaio.
Anyone agree that Dianne York looks like a "wardrobe malfunction" in the making?
Photo Credit: San Diego Magazine, June 2013
Ponzi: Can you give me the name of the boyfriend? Does it start with the letter B? Best, Don Bauder
Sorry, I cropped out the white-space. The name is S.R. Buzzi. If you look in the caption San Diego Magazine inserted. Two people I know who worked for Dianne York at the spa (before it was closed) told me his name is Stephen Buzzi. There was also a woman, Betsy Duranty that was also a fixture at the spa.

Spring football has evolved over last 90 years
April 15, 2013
By John Hirn
Author of Aggies to Rams
Saturday the 2013 CSU Rams will complete their annual spring practices with the traditional Green and Gold Game at Hughes Stadium beginning at noon. The tradition of spring drills dates back nearly 90 years at CSU when Coach Harry Hughes adopted the idea from other schools around the nation to keep players fit and active when the game was not being played like it is in fall.
Hughes's earliest spring drills date as far back as 1924 and continued throughout his career. The practices were frequently held in the school's first indoor practice facility at the field house on College Avenue when spring snow prevented outdoor drills.
In the Hughes era, the spring drills were commonly nothing more than players suiting up and running football drills in springtime. The idea to scrimmage among the team was not as widely publicized, but the purpose of spring football to train the men that would take the field in fall evolved from this period of football.
After WWII more focus was placed on football around the country and when Coach Bob Davis arrived in 1947, he formalized the first official "Greens versus Golds" game to be played on Memorial Day, 1947.
A look at the Collegian and other newspaper clippings from the 1947 Green and Gold game is not that much different than what is seen today. Players faced off against one another with assistant coaches acting as head coaches for each team. They played hard, hit hard and had a purpose; a steak dinner for the winners and hamburgers for the losers. Coach Bob Davis was the observer to see what kind of talent he had for the 1947 season and alumni, fans and boosters came out to support the team.
Line coach Bob Sneddon took charge of the Green team with backs coach Mark Duncan as the head coach of the Golds. The Greens had quarterback Bob Hainlen, Joe Folsom and legendary end George Jones while the Golds had two eventual CSU Hall of Fame inductees Don "Tuffy" Mullison and Fum McGraw.
In the end the Greens won 13-6 and were awarded the steak dinner. However, Coach Davis found a way to get all of his players a steak dinner.
As the tradition of spring football marched on, some new traditions came about that created legendary stories from 1950s CSU football lore.
A new kind of spring game emerged in the 1950s that instead of just the current players battling against one another, they ended up playing former Aggies and Rams in a charity game. The Varsity vs. Alumni games of the late 1950s have become legend in CSU football history. They featured several players then playing in the NFL, pitted against the varsity players, some of whom ended up in the NFL.
The 1957 game was played on May 18th at 7:30pm at Colorado Field and it was a fund raiser to help the Lyle Stucker Scholarship Fund. Stucker, a member of the 1949 Raisin Bowl team, had been killed in the Korean War and his former teammates came back each spring to help raise money for a scholarship in his name.
The 1957 game program reads like a who's who of CSU football greats on the Alumni team. Don Burroughs, defensive back for the Los Angeles Rams at the time, played his old quarterback position. At right halfback, Chicago Cardinal Alex Burl played alongside left halfback and Detroit Lion Jack Christiansen. Pittsburgh Steelers guard Dale Dodrill was the fourth NFL player on the Alumni team while end Jim David of the soon-to-be 1957 World Champion Detroit Lions was the fifth Ram legend still in the NFL in 1957.
The sixth NFL player was one of three brothers on the Alumni team. Gary Glick, who had just completed his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, joined his older brother Ivan and Leon to play against their youngest brother and CSU's starting quarterback for the 1957 season, Fred Glick.
In a 2008 interview, Gary Glick remembered this game well because his mother told him and his older brothers, "You big boys go easy on your little brother Freddy." So the older Glick brothers went out in the Alumni game pitted against their little brother only to have young Freddy hit his NFL-employed brother Gary so hard it nearly knocked his teeth out. Fred Glick went on to play in the NFL with the Cardinals and the AFL with the Oilers.
The 1958 and 1959 Alumni game programs continued to feature some of the greatest players, whether in the NFL or not, that had graced Colorado Field during the Bob Davis era. Bob Weber, George Jones, Harvey Achziger, Jerry Callahan, Frank Faucett, Larry Barnes and of course their head coach and eventual Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Jack Christiansen. Eventually the game had to be discontinued to prevent injuries.
Spring football is a rite of passage for many players and fans. It is a time when many former players come back to visit and fans enjoy getting out to the stadium to see the team that will be on the field in the fall. It is also the time to renew Ram Club memberships, season tickets and get ready for the next year of Rams Football.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Mountain bogs are one of the most critically endangered habitats of the Southern Appalachians. They typically are small (from a half-acre to 5 acres) and usually associated with seeps, springs and small creeks. These are early successional habitats that support a variety of unique and imperiled flora and fauna, including the federally threatened bog turtle and swamp pink, possibly the state's rarest reptile and plant species, respectively. Other exceptionally rare and state-protected mountain bog plants include the montane purple pitcher plant, Carolina bog laurel, Canadian burnet and Cuthbert's turtlehead.
For 18 years, the Nongame Conservation Section, working independently and as a member of the Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance, has been engaged in mountain bog restoration that includes:
• locating mountain bogs with restoration potential;
• restoration at eight of these bog sites;
• rearing and outplanting rare mountain bog plants; and,
• creating a "Bog Turtle Headstart" and population establishment program that involves the Chattahoochee Nature Center and the Tennessee Aquarium. (Seventeen captive-reared bog turtles have been released in restored mountain bogs.)
Natural disturbance factors needed to maintain mountain bog habitats is now largely missing from the landscape, and the few remaining bog habitats must be maintained by mimicking these natural effects using techniques such as manual clearing and prescribed fire. A significant development in the last three years was the initiation of a robust field experiment designed to test various restoration protocols, with final research plots established in 2010. The goal is maximizing effectiveness and efficiency, thus saving the Wildlife Resources Division and its partners time and expense in maintaining mountain bogs.
On the Coastal Plain, cooperative work with landowners for management and conservation continues at a complex of privately owned bogs near Claxton. These bogs include the only known occurrence of the Coastal Plain purple pitcher plant, in addition to eight other tracked plants. The bogs are contiguous to diverse sandhill habitat, with occurrences of gopher tortoises. Efforts are focused on restoring prescribed fire, raising awareness of the site and preventing destruction caused by off-road vehicles.

Ingmar Bergman, a giant of 20th century cinema, died yesterday. He was 89.
That's the news. But that's not what we should be talking about today as we enter the "re-evaluation" phase of the Swedish film maker's distinguished career. I think we must ask a difficult question about Bergman's films:
In a world that allows people to develop alternate lives in Second Life, The Sims, or even WoW via the Internet, does Bergman's work still matter? Continue reading

Pesek on Asia: Bad News at China's Davos
Good morning. Here's my take on some of the stories driving the debate in politics, finance and social issues across Asia today:
Bad news at China's Davos.
Talk about bad timing. There Premier Li Keqiang was today in the southern province of Hainan giving the keynote speech at the Boao Forum for Asia, which China fancies as its Davos, when yet more bad news on the economy rolled in. Overseas shipments plunged 6.6 percent in March from a year earlier, prompting Li to insist China won't be tossing more stimulus at Asia's biggest economy, and a flagging one at that. Few in attendance probably bought Li's argument, though. The odds favor even more pump-priming by Beijing in the months ahead.
India's Modi, meet Italy's Berlusconi.
As attempts at political analogies go, India's Narendra Modi sharing something pivotal in common with Italy's Silvio Berlusconi might seem particularly creative. But as this Quartz piece argues, "both Berlusconi and Modi rose to national power in the wake of big corruption scandals that called into question the party that reigned for decades in their respective countries." In Berlusconi's case, it was a 1994 corruption scandal involving Italy's Christian Democracy Party; in Modi's it might very well be myriad graft allegations against the Congress Party. Of course, one can hope Modi does a better job of steering clear of dirty dealings as India's leader than Berlusconi did as Italy's.
Japan-China air skirmish risks on the rise.
The next time an expert argues cooler heads will prevail in the North Asian seas, consider this number: 415. That's how many times Japanese jets were sent up to pursue Chinese aircraft in the past year. In total, Japan scrambled jets 810 times in the year ended in March, a sizable increase from 567 the previous year (51 percent of those episodes were to face off with Chinese planes). All it would take for Asia's two biggest economies to spiral toward outright armed conflict is for one of those aerial exchanges to go badly. A China plane accidentally clipping a Japanese aircraft, or vice versa, could change the geopolitical calculus and shake world markets at any moment. The numbers were released just as U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel makes his way around a region that's getting too hot got comfort.
Park says no more Abe meetings.
Nor are relations with Korea improving. Last month's brief trilateral meeting between Korean President Park Geun Hye, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Barack Obama was on one-time-only event, government officials told the Korea Times. Park, it seems, is waiting for Abe to show more contrition for Japan's wartime atrocities. On that one, I fear Korea's government will have a long, long wait.
Flight 370 costs Malaysia tourists.
The moment Prime Minister Najib Razak's government feared is nearing: when anger over the missing Malaysian Air jet hits gross domestic product. Investigators are optimistic that they can soon locate wreckage from the plane in the Indian Ocean after reacquiring acoustic pings two days ago that may emanate from the flight recorders. But as this story suggests, the Chinese, aggrieved over Malaysia's handling of the crisis, are turning their back on the nation's all-important tourism industry.
