It’s all about, the pressure is on the pitcher, not on us in those kinds of situations, and we had to capitalize on that.” Diego Castillo (6-1) got the win. Upton sent the first pitch he saw from A’s reliever A.J. Puk into Edgar’s Cantina in left field to tie the game.

Anti-establishment San Francisco coffee house Trouble Coffee closes permanently after 15 years
Trouble Coffee, at 4033 Judah St., has permanently closed after 15 years, according to the San Francisco Chronicle (SFGATE and the San Francisco Chronicle are both owned by Hearst but operate independently of one another). The anti-establishment coffee house was a mainstay in the Outer Sunset community for more than a decade and helped start the influx of new restaurants and bars that turned the beachside neighborhood into a food-centric destination. Trouble Coffee was even credited as being the first to make artisanal toast popular, like Texas toast-sized slices with melted butter and cinnamon-sugar or avocado toast, which is now a nationwide brunch phenomenon. But, like many things in life, the “cool” ideas are often co-opted and flipped into a big moneymaker as larger corporations find trends and suck the life out of them. Owner Giulietta Carrelli declined to comment to the Chronicle, but DamnFine Pizzeria co-owner Laura Seymour confirmed to the paper that she and her … [Read more...] about Anti-establishment San Francisco coffee house Trouble Coffee closes permanently after 15 years

Restaurants & Bars With the first bakery in South Tampa, the owners are excited to open across the bridge. Amy Good , Neighbor Posted | Updated Reply CLEARWATER, FL — When Maureen and Chip Funk opened their first bakery, Nothing Bundt Cakes , in South Tampa four years ago, they knew they would eventually want a second location so that each of them could be "all in" on the business. “After 32 years in corporate information technology, I was really excited about sharing joy through everyday occasions,” said Maureen. “With the opening of our bakery in Clearwater, Chip has been able to leave the corporate life as well to run the two bakeries with me, and it has been such fun to be able to work together each day.” The Funks are thrilled to be in Clearwater and to see many guests who used to visit them at their South Tampa … [Read more...] about Clearwater Gets A Little Sweeter With New Nothing Bundt Cakes
This Law Will Save Newborns After Botched Abortions From Murder. Here’s Why It Matters.
The majority of debate between pro-lifers and abortion advocates has centered around the 20-week abortion ban that failed in the Senate Monday. Another important bill, however, recently passed the House and would prevent babies who’ve been born after botched abortions from being murdered shortly thereafter. The U.S. House approved the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in January, and it requires health care practitioners to give the same care to a child born alive after a botched abortion as they would provide to any other child birthed at the same gestational age. They must also ensure that babies born after botched abortions are immediately admitted to a hospital. Any health care individual who violates the provisions of the bill — H. R. 37 — will face fines and up to five years in prison. The mother of a child who is aborted after being born cannot be prosecuted under the bill. She can however, sue for damages against an individual who kills a living child who’s … [Read more...] about This Law Will Save Newborns After Botched Abortions From Murder. Here’s Why It Matters.
