A proposal by the city of Fairfax to cut some minimum staffing requirements for its firefighters has sparked a potential conflict between the city and nearby George Mason University.
According to the city, its fire and rescue squads spend as much as about $1.2 million servicing the university each year, while only receiving a fraction of that amount in return.
�We recommend a reduction of the minimum staffing level policy of the fire department with regard to the city�s truck (ladder) company,� City Manager Robert L. Sisson wrote in his recommended fiscal 2013 budget memo to the City Council. �This would reduce daily minimum staffing on the truck company from four personnel to three personnel.
�This change to the [fire department] minimum staffing policy will allow overtime expenses to be reduced by approximately $212,000.�
In a subsequent presentation before the City Council, Fairfax City Fire Chief Dave Rohr voiced his concerns with the possible reduction.
�I thoroughly understand the fiscal situation that you are in,� he said. �It is a difficult situation for all of us, but the decision in my eyes cannot be made for fiscal reasons. It is a life safety issue, for the citizens and the firefighters alike.�
To explore alternatives during an April 10 work session, the City Council asked Rohr to compile a report outlining the frequency of fire and rescue calls to Mason so it could better understand costs involved.
In his April 12 report, Rohr said there were 418 fire and rescue calls made exclusively by the university in 2011.
�This equates to approximately 8 percent of the total calls run by the fire department,� he wrote. �Two-hundred-eighty-four calls were EMS-related ... 88 calls were suppression related (fires, alarms and hazmat incidents) and 46 calls were other incidents (elevator incidents and public service calls).�
At Fire Station No. 3 — the station nearest to Mason — at least 25 percent of all EMS and fire calls served by the station in 2011 came from the university, Rohr said.
Calculating the Mason calls against the total number of calls within the city for the same year — and contrasting that against the fire and rescue department�s 2011 operating budget — Sisson said the city estimates the Mason calls cost the city between $800,000 and $1.2 million.
George Mason University Chief of Staff J. Thomas Hennessey Jr. thinks that number is too high.
�That�s not even close to what we think,� he said. �The county provides a lot more support for us than does the city and they don�t estimate nearly that,� he said. Hennessey declined further comment.
But Dan Schmidt, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue spokesman, said the only time county firefighters would ever respond to a Mason call would be to assist Fairfax City fire and rescue squads.
�It�s their call, we only assist,� he said. �Fairfax City only has two fire stations, so some of their calls need more equipment and that�s the only time we would assist. � I think [Mason] might be confused and not really know what they�re saying. They probably see a lot of Fairfax equipment that�s intermingled with the city�s — and we might even bring more equipment than the city brings, because they only have so much — but the only reason we would ever be there would be to augment [the Fairfax City] fire department.�
Since 2011, Mason has provided Fairfax City with $150,000 per year to help out with its fire and rescue service calls, according to the university. It also recently has agreed to raise that amount to $200,000 starting in fiscal 2013.
�The university provides the city with $200,000 a year and that is something that we are not obligated to do at all,� university spokesman Dan Walsch said. �It is something that most institutions of higher learning — certainly within Virginia — do not do with their local fire departments.�
But Sisson maintained the fire department cannot afford a potential seven-figure annual deficit in terms of services it provides to the university.
By its own account, the city fire department is in dire financial straits and in desperate need of additional funding.
For the past three years, Rohr has asked the City Council for money to conduct a feasibility study for renovating Fire Station No. 33, which was built in 1979 and is showing its age.
Rohr said the station, located at the intersection of Fairfax Boulevard and Plantation Parkway, is no longer adequate for the needs of its firefighters.
�We simply are outgrowing it,� he has said in numerous requests for funding to the council. �There are areas of the sleeping quarters that have no sprinkler system in place, and it lacks a sufficient diesel-exhaust system.�
Because of a lack of storage space, equipment is housed in truck bays, preventing their optimal use, Rohr said.
�We have drive-through bays, but because of equipment storage needs, our trucks are forced to back in,� he told the city planning commission in 2010.
Earlier this year, in the fire department�s proposed fiscal 2013 Capital Improvement Projects request, Rohr estimated a feasibility study to examine whether the station could be renovated would cost about $50,000.
�It doesn�t sound like a lot, but we were not able to approve that study and get it into the budget for next year,� Sisson said on April 27. �All jurisdictions have been pressed financially for the last four to five years, and we are no different. We have had to explore all expenditures and potential revenues, and reassess many of our partnerships. The cost of fire and rescue calls to [Mason] is one that certainly seems to show a high level of disproportionality.�

Robert W. Rice Jr., 35, was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday for an Aug. 4, 2011, car accident in Callaway that left two young women dead and others injured.
Visiting Prince George's County Judge Maureen M. Lamasney rejected a motion from Rice's attorney, James F. Farmer, for a new trial.
Farmer said Rice suffered from a hypoglycemic condition before the accident as a result of his lifelong struggle with diabetes and said Rice did not know what was happening at that time.
"Someone in a hypoglycemic condition is not aware of what they're doing," Farmer said.
"I think there was more to it than that," Lamasney said.
"Not much more," Farmer said.
"Much more," Lamasney said.
The judge found Rice guilty of two counts of vehicular manslaughter last summer. Killed in the accident were Chernica Arielle "Ce-Ce" Boyland, 22, of Lexington Park and Lisa Annette Proctor Brooks, 22, of Leonardtown.
On Wednesday, Lamasney sentenced Rice to 10 years with five years suspended concurrently for each of the two counts. With 51 days of jail credited, Rice began the prison sentence that day, said St. Mary's Assistant State's Attorney Laura Caspar. The judge also sentenced Rice to five years of supervised probation after prison.
Rice has 30 days to appeal.
"Nobody is saying that you intended to kill these individuals or hurt anyone," Lamasney said. "It's not on the table. Nobody is punishing you for a medical condition. The diabetes did not cause the accident. It was the reckless driving and speeding of the vehicle."
The prosecution said Rice fled the scene after striking a vehicle driven by Sophie Newbury. "He made gestures, he honked his horn" at Newbury, Caspar said, then drove off and got into another wreck that killed the two young women.
At the scene, Rice asked to be pulled out of the flaming wreck, Caspar said.
Rice allegedly told Newbury and her passenger, "'I wish I had killed the both of you, too.' That showed awareness," Caspar said.
Before the sentence was passed, Rice said to the survivors' families, "I really do apologize. I really was unaware. It truly was a diabetic situation."
However, Lamasney noted, "It looks like you have a motor vehicle record that goes back 20 years."
Caspar said Rice previously was convicted of participating in a speeding contest and had several other convictions for speeding.
After the 2011 fatal accident, Rice moved to Florida, where he got a new driver's license, Caspar said, after his Maryland driver's license was suspended.
Rice's family and friends testified about his giving and caring nature.
Pamela Key said of her deceased sister, Lisa Brooks, "she was doing very well until Mr. Rice decided to take that all way from her. His actions … were just so uncalled for. All we have are memories and those just aren't enough."
Key said it took her a long time to find forgiveness for Rice. "I have to be honest, it's hard, but I do. I am not his judge," she said.
"Today and the rest of my life I will mourn the loss of my daughter," said Yevette Rhodes, Chernica Boyland's mother. After prayer and thought, Rhodes said to Rice, "I do forgive you for taking my daughter's life."
Rice thanked those who forgave him, and said, "I don't blame anybody for hating me. I know that I cannot apologize enough to bring back family members. I really do feel for you guys. I've had many sleepless nights trying to deal with this."

Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Cookies
Erica's Rugelach
As Good As Baking Your Own
For the past few years, we have been noticing how really average so many rugelach are—and like making a bad Toll House® cookie, there's really no excuse for it. You take basic ingredients—flour, butter, sugar, cream cheese, and eggs, make a dough, and roll with a filling of filling of choice—apricot or raspberry preserves and chocolate bits, nuts and raisins seasoned with cinnamon are the most common. Slice, bake and eat. Sounds simple enough, no?
Yet, as anyone who has reached for a classic Toll House cookie and gotten something else can attest, what seems inordinately simple often returns mixed results. As those who have read other NIBBLE reviews know, we have tasted our way through the doughy, the salty, the bland, and the oh-my-god-what-did-they-do-to-that-poor-pastry! We have roamed the bakeries and specialty stores of our home town in search of a decent rugelach: a lot of roaming for not much return. (And we should point out that our home town is New York City, which is in turn home to the largest number of Jewish-style bakeries in the country.) Then we met Erica Kalick.
The first time we tasted Erica's Rugelach, we liked it...but to be sure it was no mirage, we kept tasting it at successive trade shows until Erica may have suspected that we were no food writer, but a schnorrer* who had sneaked in for the free eats.† We have been nibbling at Erica's Rugelach, macaroons and cookies for some time now, and are ready to share the wealth.
* Yiddish: a scrounger who takes advantage of the generosity of others.
† Let us take this moment to say that going to a food trade show is no picnic: it's grueling work. After two hours of the tiniest nibbles, one is stuffed to the gills but must continue to taste, taste, taste for another six hours in search of the best products for one's readers. If it's a big trade show, you do this three days in a row until you turn into human foie gras.
Little Pastry Delights
Rugelach are often classified as cookies, but they are really miniature pastries: soft dough with filling. Fruit preserves, raisins, nuts, and chocolate are the most popular, and Erica's Rugelach are available in apricot, chocolate and raspberry. Erica's adds walnuts and currants to each of the flavors instead of keeping fruit preserves, chocolate, and nut or raisin/nut as separate entities. The flavor profile is thus different from other brands that keep the flavors pure, and results in a more complex, less sweet, and obviously nuttier pastry that picks up lemony nuances from the currants.
When flour is the third ingredient by weight on the label and walnuts are first, you know you're in for something chock-full of goodness. Erica's Rugelach uses only the ingredients any good home baker would use: butter, cream cheese, walnuts, currants, flour, sugar (white and brown), plus the raspberry or apricot preserves or chocolate bits. The surface of the rugelach is lightly dusted with cinnamon sugar—a nice touch that hits the spot.

Paul di Resta believes Nico Hulkenberg is making a mistake leaving Force India, adamant his team has the "better" long term future...
Paul di Resta believes Nico Hulkenberg is making a mistake leaving Force India, adamant his team has the "better" long term future.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Hulkenberg would be off to Sauber next season, bringing to an end to his two-year relationship with Force India.
However, at least one person believes he'd be better off staying put.
"I was surprised that Nico left this team, to be fair, for an immediate competitor," his team-mate told Autosport.
"I don't see it as being a step up, to be perfectly honest. I see it as an equal kind of status.
"Long term where you see this team is going, I think it is probably better [at Force India]."
He added: "They [Sauber] have had a couple of remarkable results, and I am not going to deny that. But in terms of consistency, we have got a lot. It may be different.
"Next year may be different, and I don't know the full reasons why Nico has gone there."
As for his own future, the Scot added that he would be happy to remain with Force India for next season.
"There is progression, and the way this team is structured and going forward, I am content where I am."

East Union 46, Lenox 30
AFTON — Dusti Carlisle scored 20 points with four steals and five rebounds as the Eagles pulled away from Lenox early, leading 11-4 after one quarter.
Kelsey Hoff contributed 16 points with 12 rebounds for the Eagles. Brittany Malone added eight points and four assists for the Eagles (2-3).
"I was really proud of the way our team played," said EU coach Matt Delger. "Dusti Carlisle was red hot shooting and Kelsey Hoff had an outstanding tame. The most impressive thing was our team defense, hustle and effort."
Aurora Aravelo had 11 points and eight rebounds for Lenox (0-5). Katie Dukes turned in eight points and eight rebounds, while Taylor Foster finished with five points and two rebounds.
Nodaway Valley 48, Corning 44
GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley used a 13-1 to start the second half and posted the hard-fought four-point win to improve to 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the Pride of Iowa.
Free throw shooting was a key, as the Wolverines shot 68 percent (15-22) to Corning's 38 percent (6-16). Shelby Venteicher had 12 points and seven steals for the Wolverines. Josie Carter added 11 points, and Sydney Reeves tallied nine points and five steals.
Leading the way for Corning was Marie Palmer with 16 points, 16 rebounds and two blocks. Ella Akin added 13 points and 10 rebounds. Sydney Maynes had eight points, four rebounds, three assists and four steals. Marissa Drake came off the bench and grabbed five rebounds and two steals for Corning, which let an 11-point halftime lead slip away.
Moravia 48,
Murray 47
MURRAY — A 15-9 third quarter turned the tables on Murray in a one-point home loss Friday. Moravia improved to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the Bluegrass Conference, while Murray slipped to 4-2 and 0-2.
"A very tough game to lose," said Murray coach Jerry Shields. "It was back and forth the whole way. We held an eight-point lead in the third quarter and they took a five-point lead in the fourth quarter."
Moravia made the front end of a two-shot free throw opportunity with 20 seconds left. Murray had two opportunities to score, but turned the ball over once and missed a shot with four seconds left.
ORIENT — Jasmine Ruckman and Gabby Jenkins each scored 10 points for Orient-Maacksburg in the close defeat Friday to Iowa Christian Academy.
Jenkins grabbed 17 rebounds and Ruckman had three assists. Shanon Eads had six points and seven rebounds.
"Tonight we played shorthanded due to illness and injury, so other girls had to step up and they did a good job of filling the deficiencies," O-M coach Kelli Goodale. "We dug a hole in the first half (9-20), and worked ourselves back into it."
Hanna Carlson and Morgan Phipps had 12 points each for ICA.

Superfan Bucket List: 5 Things To Do To Prove You're The Ultimate Fan In Your Lifetime
Superfan Bucket List: 5 Things To Do To Prove You're The Ultimate Fan In Your Lifetime
Hey you, are you tired of blending in with the crowd of "wannabee" fans? Are you looking for a way to show your favorite musician how much you really care? Do you want bragging rights on every fan page? If so, this list of tasks is here to test your devotion. Anyone can say that they're the biggest fan, but this bucket list proves your passion and dedication to your favorite artists. Click through the list of Things To Do To Prove You're The Ultimate Fan and see if you can get a follow-back on Twitter out of it.
Follow Your Favorite Artist on Tour
If you love an artist as much you say, following them on tour must be a dream come true, right? Right. Go travel all over the world, crowd surf, and sing until your lose your voice. It will make for some great memories and other fans jealous. Besides, after a while the security guards might start to recognize you, invite you backstage, and before you know it you'll be singing the chorus for the next single. Right? We think so.
Tattoo Their Name/Face On Your Body
Drake's "Tat my name on you girl so I know it's real," line is not only genius, but has universal meaning. Nothing proves your dedication more than a permanent tattoo. It could be something small, like a song reference or a symbol, or you could go with something a little more blatant a la the artists name in cursive or a massive face tattoo on your back. Either way it will separate you from all the fakers out there--this one is not for the faint of heart. If you're nervous about the permanence of it, you could just put a temporary tattoo of your favorite artist's face in the same place on your arm everyday for the rest of your life. It's pretty much the same thing.
Start A Cover Band
Performing with your favorite artist on stage might be a bit of a stretch, but performing as your favorite artist takes seconds. Team up with friends, buy matching outfits, create a set list, and you're ready to start your music career. Travel city-to-city singing some fan-favorite hits and watch all the hardcore fans feel jealousy as you hit the high note that they've probably been performing in their bathroom mirror for so long. One point for you.
Name Your Child After Something Inspired By Your Favorite Artist
Every musician works as hard as they can so when they retire from the stage their name still lives on. If you are truly the ultimate fan you will help that artists name live on from generation to generation. You must be asking yourself "How in the world do I do that?" It's simple, name your children after the artist or something inspired by the artist including song names, album names, or businesses that they founded. To give you a quick idea on how to create your baby's name, here are a few example: "Yeezus Pastelle" (Kanye West fans), "Yolo October" (Drake fans), or "Magna Hova" (Jay-Z fans). If you're a die-hard fan there's no question your kids will be too.
Cry When Meeting Your Favorite Artist
Being the #1 fan means that you truly love the artist. After years and years of dreaming about meeting them it's only right to let out a few tears when that day finally comes. Don't hold back because you never know when the next time this opportunity will happen. Tell him or her how you feel and what how they have impacted your life. I'm sure that it will make them happy and forget that you are crying in front of them.

Yesterday, we began a 12-day rundown of new holiday music from Nashville (or Nashville-associated) artists, kicking off with the new Live At Gray Matters, Vol. 3 (The Christmas Edition) EP from contemporary Christian rock mainstays Jars of Clay. (Stream the whole EP on our site.)
Today, we'll follow up with a Nashville contribution to the new The Sing-Off: Harmonies for the Holidays album, which hit stores in late November. The album collects holiday tunes from contestants on the current season of a cappella TV competition The Sing-Off -- which is airing now -- and locals Street Corner Symphony are part of that cast.
The Street Corner guys -- Jeremy Lister, Richie Lister, John Martin, Jon McLemore, Mark McLemore and Adam Chance -- offer their take on time-tested tune "Auld Lang Syne," and it shows off the hometown singers' impressive skills and a whole new take on the song. Listen below.
This season of The Sing-Off continues with two more episodes, airing Dec. 15 and 20 at 7 p.m. Central on NBC. The album is available in stores and through digital retailers such as Amazon.com and iTunes.

I heard this thing a while back. Some one was wanting a tattoo and their was saying "yeah, so you can express your individuality, just like all your friends!" I've thought about that for a long time. I never did end up with a tattoo, much to my surprise and am too old now, nor would they go well with my family/personal life/upscale business. Iv'e also changed my viewpoint significantly since i was 18 and immortal and I know that my viewpoint for a tattoo would change after 20 years or so too. I saw a woman who was in her 50's that had some tattoos a while back. They were blurred and faded and aged her quite a bit. Definitly not the look I am going for when I am in my later years. Someone once told me they have improved the ink for tattos so much, unfortunately they haven't made that many improvements in skin during that time.

Why would you want to die in perfectly preserved skin and well conditioned body? Think anyone in the after life cares about your skin or condition of your body?Just because you have one, doesn't mean you have to act like one.

As far as tattoos go I have all my boys names tattoed on my (after the DNA test) and that is it. I do not have my wifes name because even though she may always be mine there is no garauntee of that, my boys will always be mine.
As for a welding tattoo, well I have contemplated that alot and the best thing that I feel would suit me would be a weld bead about 3/8" to 1/2" wide much like the barbed wire or chain link at the bicep location all the way around like your arm was two sections of a pipeline.
The most important thing that many have already mentioned is, make sure it is something you will not regret in the future. If you have to think about removing it in the future DO NOT GET IT.
I don't have any tats but the idea of one that looks like your skin is ripped open and you have treadplate underneath somehow appeals to me

Anyhow, I don't have any cause I've always felt that if something was THAT important to me that I would want to put it on my body forever, there would be NO QUESTION in my mind as to WHAT the tatoo would be, or represent, though the details of it's look would be up for debate. Nothing yet has really come on me like a lightning strike that didn't end up going away after awhile, so I guess there's no reason to get a tattoo so far.Millermatic350P/Python, MillermaticReach/Q300

Railman, an idea for you:
Motorcycle wheel
Skull in middle of rim
Crossed torches underneath
Also, along the same lines, use a V-Twin engine as the background.
A welding tattoo .... Okay, I'm not going to go into all the "think about what you want, because you'll be looking at it for the next fifty years" thing, because these guys have covered it pretty well, along with the safety issues, blahblahblah. I do want to be fair and say that I have known several guys with arm tats that have to keep them covered up on the job. Some companies have a rule about them, so something to think about. What you do, that's your choce, just be sure you're happy with it, okay? End of sermon.
Speaking strictly as an artist, there's a lot of things you can do. Torching a cursive word or name (with the lit torch at the end, "burning" the word in), cutting steel with a shower of sparks, making a "patch" out of steel plate .... Personally, I like a little monster or critter standing by an oxy/acy rig, holding a lit torch, and wearing a welding helmet, like Ed Roth's Rat Fink or something. The same critter could be coming out of a black "hole" (or hatch, or window, or whatever) and welding a steel plate or patch onto your skin, too.
(Speaking of critters, I saw a neat design for a tattoo. One of the hot-rod monsters in jeans, t-shirt, and welding goggles swinging a lit torch like a baseball bat, and slicing the roof off a slammed Ford touring car. The torch had a long flame on it, and there was a trail of sparks where the curve had sliced through the car pillars. Kool goofy design, daddy-o ...)

"Serve with pita bread-you can cut pita bread into wedges and toast it for a different taste sensation. Tahini is a sesame paste, you can usually find it in the Mediterranean section of your grocery store."

1 (15 ounce) can
garbanzo beans, drained
1 (4 ounce) jar
roasted red peppers
3 tablespoons
lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh parsley
Mmmmmm! This recipe is excellent. I roasted my own peppers (To do this, place pepper directly on the burner over a medium flame until skin is blackened on all sides, toss in ice water, remove skin, and voila! roasted red pepper) Soooo good! and much cheaper than store bought.
Disclaimer: Not a big fan of hummus. Did this according to recipe except used half the cayenne recommended and it's plenty hot. Otherwise it tastes pretty bland. I used the Hummus III recipe last time and added cumin, roasted pepper, and red pepper flakes and I think I like that one better.

I am not a big fan of hummus but this recipe was great! I made this for my boyfriend who loves hummus, this was the best he ever had. I liked it because of the easiness and quickness - everything goes into the blender! I also liked the flavor that the roasted red pepers gave. The only hard part was finding the tahini at the grocery store. I was lucky to find someone who knew what tahini was. Prior to this recipe I did not know what it was. It is (if you don't know) ground sesame seeds. It is paste-like and comes in a jar.
This is my favorite hummus recipe. It's easy to make, very inexpensive and I can adjust the garlic and cayenne pepper to suit my taste (I like a lot of both). I have this on hand all the time as a treat for me! It's not as high fat/high calorie as some other hummus recipes. The color is really pretty too.
We loved it. The roasted red peppers made the hummus such a pretty color, and added another dimension of flavor. The only thing I did differently was to add in some light olive oil as I was blending in the proccesor. (Made the mixture smoother, and it came together better.) Thanks.
Delicious! I tweaked it a little to suit our tastes, cutting the cayenne to 1/4 teaspoon and adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil. I also pureed it a little longer to make the hummus extra light & fluffy. Thnaks for the great recipe!
Oh man! Loved loved this!! I doubled the recipe for my family and they thought it was the best they ever tasted. I also added a lil more garlic and a TB of EVOO. I also used cilantro instead of parsley, made for unique change and tasted soo fresh.
Will definitely make for a long time!
Delicious! It tastes just like the exact kind I get from Trader Joes, only better! I could eat this all in one sitting. I'll be making this again.

I run quite a lot of portable apps, although mostly from a folder on my hard drive. I like to back them up onto usb drives and also copy them directly between my two laptops.
I'd like a program that would create a folder full of nothing but shortcuts pointing to the various apps in my portable folder. This way, if I move the apps around, create directories, rename things etc, I could easily auto-generate the shortcuts again. The shortcut folder could then be added onto my desktop or as a taskbar toolbar in an instant.
Here's how I imagine it working (slightly inspired by the recent IconAnyFolder coding snack): The shortcut creator would allow me to designate the top level directory, and then it would create shortcuts to any .exe file in that folder, and then search recursively one level down and add shortcuts to any .exe files it found there. Any folders not including an .exe file would be searched further, and so on.
Well, that's what would work for me, since occasionally I have older versions and messy stuff like that stored within the folders of newer versions, and so I wouldn't want the shortcut creator to find them. Also, many of the portable apps have executable plugins within their directories, which I wouldn't want shortcuts to. But I imagine it could be configurable to either find all .exe's or to stop searching recursively at each found .exe as I suggest above.
Does anything like this exist already? If not, any takers?

While most Americans are busting out the sunscreen, beach balls and barbeques in anticipation of summer, the ASPCA is preparing for a different kind of season: kitten season.
Sounds adorable, right? Unfortunately, there's nothing cute about kitten season. It's the time of year when felines begin to breed, flooding animal shelters across the country with homeless and newborn cats. It is a tremendous population explosion, and this year we're expecting thousands of kittens to cross the threshold of the ASPCA Animal Hospital—all requiring round-the-clock care.
The seasonal influx of kittens is one reason why the ASPCA is opening a new facility near its 92nd Street Adoption Center in New York City. This brand new kitten ward will include a high-volume nursery for neonates and kittens to provide life-saving care for felines too young to thrive on their own.
"We're doing the mama's job," explains David Arias, an Animal Care Technician and regular caregiver to neonatal kittens at the ASPCA Animal Hospital. He gently pushes a syringe full of kitten milk replacer (KMR) into the wailing but eager mouth of a five-day-old neonate named Catsup, who drinks up as fast as his tiny throat can swallow. Catsup was No. 2 in a group of four baby kittens—including Mustard, Relish and Sauerkraut—dropped off at the AAH in their first days of life.
But these four "condiment kitties" are just the start. The ASPCA will also be taking thousands of neonates from NYC's Animal Care & Control (AC&C), where the annual influx of 4,500 kittens often overwhelms an already overpopulated system. AC&C's kittens will be transferred to the ASPCA nursery for treatment until they're old enough to be weaned, spayed/neutered, and put up for adoption.
And because neonates must be fed every two hours, the ASPCA is providing special training to volunteers to help with this vigorous schedule. "We keep track of how many milliliters each kitten consumes and stay consistent with that baseline amount until they want more," says David.
His voice trails off when he sees that Catsup is getting feisty and wants more. He replaces the near-empty syringe with a full one. After 20 minutes, Catsup's tiny belly expands. Before putting the 8-oz. ball of fur back in his cage, David applies a wet, warm gauze to Catsup's rear end to encourage a defecation and urination—something a mama cat would normally do by licking her young.
Catsup complies. Then, eyes still closed and back in his cage, he clumsily searches for his siblings until he finds them, snuggles up, and goes to sleep. Two hours later, he'll be hungry again.
The ASPCA is working tirelessly to save thousands of lives this kitten season. It is an urgent time of need, and even a little gift can help a lot of cats. Please consider making a donation to the ASPCA today.

En español | So you're fed up with your cellphone provider over dropped calls, high bills, hidden fees and more, yet you can't end the relationship because you're tied to that pesky two-year contract.
Relief may be on the way: Carriers increasingly are abandoning the old contract model in favor of plans that offer phones with robust features — and a lot fewer restrictions.
You're likely familiar with the traditional model: Carriers sell you a cellphone at a reduced price bundled with a two-year service contract to help subsidize the cost of the equipment. Breaking up with your phone company before the end of your term generally means paying a hefty termination fee, sometimes as much as $350. If you decide to stick with the same carrier, you can get an "upgrade" (a new phone) as long as you renew for another two years.
But now a host of companies are competing for your business with new no-contract options that may be less expensive or a better deal. T-Mobile, the smallest of the major U.S. providers, has replaced its two-year contracts with several no-contract options. The carrier now sells contract-free phones at the regular retail price, such as a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone recently listed in its online store for $627.99. After the down payment, generally about $100, you pay about $22 a month until the phone is paid off. The service agreement lets you leave at any time without penalty as long as you pay the balance on the hardware.
Quicker upgrades
T-Mobile has also introduced a plan called JUMP!, which lets you swap your phone for a newer model as soon as six months after enrolling. The company charges an additional $10 a month for that feature, which gives you as many as two upgrades per year.
Verizon and AT&T, the two largest carriers in the U.S., have both countered with their own early upgrade plans. Edge, as Verizon's option is known, splits the full retail price of the phone into 24 monthly payments and adds it to your monthly bill. Rather than wait until the end of the two-year agreement to get a new phone, you can be eligible after six months, as long as at least 50 percent of the phone's price is paid off. When the phone is paid for, no more installment payments are required.
Like the JUMP! plan, AT&T's early upgrade plan Next comes with no down payment, activation, upgrade or financing fees. The cost of the phone is divided into 20 monthly payments, and you can upgrade after 12 months.
If you always crave the latest model, these upgrade plans may be appealing.
Transferring contracts
There are a few things you can try to end your contract early, although it's not easy. For instance, moving to an area that doesn't have any coverage from your current carrier may be grounds for cancellation without fees. Sometimes waivers are also issued for poor service. While these types of cancellations are rare, it's always worth asking.
Also, most major carriers will allow you to transfer your contract to someone else, so you may be able to turn it over to a son, daughter or friend who is willing to assume the payments. However, as no-contract plans proliferate, there may be less incentive for people to take over your obligation.

1.) Rakim
2.) Biggie
3.) Common
4.) Slick Rick
5.) Big Pun
6.) CL Smooth
8.) Black Thought
9.) Chali 2na
10.) 2Pac
This also tends to change from day to day and I didn't include groups (such as A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and The Pharcyde). Have at it.

2 tablespoons
fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup
2 cloves
garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon
dried basil
1 teaspoon
chopped pimento
1 cup
chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups
chopped fresh broccoli florets
1 small
onion, minced
1/2 cup
sour cream
1 (3 ounce) package
cream cheese
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
egg, beaten
1 cup
dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup
chopped pecans
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
After reading all the feedback. I noticed the most common negative remark was about how long it took. Well guess what? I prepared it in 5 mins and cooked it for an hour or so. I placed the peacans in a food processor, the onions too, I doubled the broccoli, sourcream and cream cheese and proceeded to cook all in the sauce pan. I cut up boneless chicken breast as ingredients were cooking in sauce pan, placed chicken breast chunks in casserole, poured sauce ingredients over the chicken. Wa-La! Done. I ommitted the bread crumb step and had a tasty sauce with chicken which I served over rice. Awesome!
This recipe is way too much work for the end product. The flavor is so-so and really not worth the effort.

This recipe got rave reviews from all of my company! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of the breasts. I think these might even work better than breasts because they are already folded in half when you purchase them. I unfolded them and pounded them flat so they would be easier to roll. For the filling I noticed alot of the reviews complained there was not enough flavour. I added some chopped up bacon and instead of pimentos I used about 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes and then threw in a whole bunch of seasonings and spices. I also only used a minimal amout of butter. I coated the chicken in the pecans and crushed up soda crackers instead of bread crumbs. I skipped the pan fry part and opted to just bake them in the oven. I prepared the filling in the morning and let it cool in the fridge for most of the day, this way I really didn't feel that it was all that time consuming! My general belief is that a recipe only provides a guideline and it is up to you to make it great! I would definately make this chicken again.
My family loved this dish, everyone including one 16 mos,and 3 1/2 yrs! Before I served it I said I wouldn't make it again - too time consuming, but sinced it went over so big, I guess I'll just have to plan ahead next time! I omitted the pimento (didn't have) and pecans in the filling (I didn't have enough). For the rest I didn't measure, just tossed it in and it turned out wonderfully.
Beautiful presentation, but I think there might be a little too much going on in the recipe. Maybe lose the pecans or replace the sour cream with cream cheese.
WOW! This was great! Next time I will add some spice to the cheese mixture, it could have used a little more punch. I made this with the Beautiful Salad from this site and homemade apple sauce and roasted potatoes.
LOVED this recipe! Made it for my husband on his birthday and he said it was the best meal ever. The sauce is delicious... I would highly reccommend this recipe, just allow time to make it because the many ingredients that require chopping took awhile.
The filling is really good. To save time, I used a previous suggestion and skipped the saute/fry step. However, I did find the chicken breading to be dry in the end then. Next time, I will try mixing some melted butter with the bread crumb/pecan mixture before coating the chicken with it. I also omited the sour cream and doubled the cream cheese (used light crm cheese...still tasted good.) Somehow, we did not want to eat the leftovers though.

Andy Odell Ollar, 52, of Howe died Thursday Dec. 29, 2011, in Poteau. Services are pending with Dowden Funeral Home, Heavener.
Betty Jean Filipski, 67, formerly of Whitesboro died Thursday, Dec. 29, 2011, at her home in Blanchard.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 3, at Prairie Grove Baptist Church in Talihina. Burial will be in Whitesboro Cemetery under the direction of Talihina Funeral Home.
Now that the Christmas Break is concluded, it's back to business on the hardwood — and I do mean business.
From now until late February and/or early March, it will be basketball pretty much non-stop.
This week is the 2012 LeFlore County Junior High Tournament as well as Spiro's teams playing in the Muskogee Bedouin Shrine Classic, while Thursday through Saturday will be the Rock Island Conference Tournament featuring Leflore and Whitesboro. Also, Talihina's teams will represent the county at Lone Grove's Longhorn Invitational Tournament in Carter County just west of Ardmore.
Here is my first prediction for the 2012 Leflore County Basketball Championship. On the girls' side, I a predicting that the Spiro Lady Bulldogs and the Howe Lady Lions will play for the championship, and I believe that Spiro will pull off the upset, although Howe won Thursday afternoon's close contest in the Panama Holiday Festival. Either one of the Lady Bulldog big girls should walk away with the Most Valuable Player Award.
PANAMA — Each of the three LeFlore County schools whose basketball teams took part in the 2011 Panama Holiday Festival got a victory on Thursday, which was the second, and final, day of the two-day event.
The Howe Lady Lions, the top seed in the 2012 LeFlore County Tournament, defeated the Spiro Lady Bulldogs, the '12 LCT's No. 2 seed, 40-37, but the Bulldogs handled the Lions 79-64.
The host Panama teams split their games with Acorn, Ark. The Hogs defeated the Tigers 77-70 in overtime, but the Lady Tigers tamed the Lady 'Backs 63-48.
Since I sort of did not make the 2011 LeFlore County Junior High Tournament Guide the way it should have been created a year ago, I pledged to myself that I would make amends for it when the 2012 Guide was created. So, I did.
Linda Scraper Smith, 69, of Poteau died Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011, in Fort Smith, Ark. Services will be held at noon Saturday, Dec. 31, graveside in Saratoga Springs Cemetery, South West City, Mo., under the direction of Heath-Griffith Funeral Home, Tulsa.
Barbara B. Gildersleeve, of Poteau died Friday, Dec. 23, 2011. She was born in Laurel, Neb., on July 23, 1921, to Harvey and Viola (Woodruff) Bessire. She was a homemaker and member of the Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Fort Smith, Ark.
She was preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Maida Fast.
Billy Gene Huie, 66, of Heavener died Dec. 24, 2011, in Muskogee. He was born Dec. 29, 1944, in Heavener to Emmit and Avielda Mae (Cooker) Huie. He was a veteran of the U.S. Marines and a brakeman for the Kansas City Southern Railroad.
Billy is preceded in death by his parents.
Survivors include his wife, Judith Huie of the home; a son, John Huie of Omaha, Neb.; a daughter Lee Huie of Muskogee; three grandchildren, Summer, Erin and Aly Huie; and other family members. Â
Cremation services are under the direction of Grace Manor Funeral Home, Poteau. Burial will follow at a later date.

TOKYO—Hiroko Sata, an 87-year-old nurse, walked out into the Tokyo street on Nov. 11 to see about the commotion. To her left, more than 1,000 people were banging drums and shouting slogans. "What in the world is going on there?" she asked me and my translator, grimacing at the disturbance. The protesters, we told her, had gathered in front of the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Co. to commemorate the 20-month anniversary of the disastrous triple-meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in March 2011.
Sata, who is older than Japan's nearly 60-year-old civilian nuclear industry, remembers a time without nuclear power. Families were allowed just a few lightbulbs in the 1940s, because the electrical system was still in its infancy. "There was a TEPCO office in the neighborhood," she recalls, and when a bulb burned out, "we had to bring it there" to trade it for a new one. The advent of nuclear power meant that the Japanese could consume as much electricity as they wanted.
Now, behind Sata, the protesters are chanting, "Stop nukes immediately!" and "Shame on you, TEPCO!" Mostly middle-aged, they are braving the rain to crowd in front of TEPCO and other government agencies, including the Economy, Trade, and Industry Ministry, where an antinuclear tent flaps permanently in the wind. All of Japan's 54 nuclear reactors except two were idled after the Fukushima disaster, and protesters do not want them reopened.
Fukushima filled the streets with people. An antinuclear demonstration in Tokyo last July turned out 170,000, larger even than the 1960s protests against a security treaty with the United States. After the earthquake and tsunami that caused the 2011 meltdown, tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Tokyo—and thousands more assembled elsewhere across Japan—to demand a permanent shutdown of the nation's nuclear plants. The antinuclear movement had previously been an insignificant collection of Cassandra-like students, but now demonstrations regularly rack Japan's cities. In Fukushima, they gather weekly.
Sata regards the crowd. Then she points to the brightly lit high-rise next to her. "If we don't have the nuclear plants, how is it going to work without electricity?" This is not some false dichotomy dreamed up by an old-timer who remembers a world without much light. Sata may be right: Japan lacks alternate sources of energy that are plentiful and cheap. After 60 years of dependence, the country is economically, historically, and culturally handcuffed to the atom. It has no ready remedy, and even the long-term fixes could break the Japanese economy.
Which may explain why, just a month after the November protest, Japanese voters elected as prime minister Shinzo Abe, who is more open to restarting Japan's stalled nuclear industry than his predecessor. The election represents a choice that Japan and many other countries have made and will keep making: immediate economic security over long-term safety and environmental concerns. The energy source may vary—in Japan it's nuclear power, but in the United States it's fossil fuels, and in the Persian Gulf it's oil—but the choice is the same. Call it the myopia of power.
In 1953, Dwight Eisenhower delivered his "Atoms for Peace" address at the United Nations, arguing that nukes needn't be used only for war. But the next year, a U.S. hydrogen-bomb test near the Pacific's Marshall Islands almost derailed those plans. The nuclear fallout reached a Japanese tuna fishing boat, exposing 23 fishermen and their catch. Many of the crew were hospitalized, and the vessel's radio operator died several months later. The tragedy—and subsequent fears of contaminated fish entering the market—spurred protests in Japan. Suddenly, "Atoms for Peace" was in danger.
So the Defense Department decided that the U.S. government should build a nuclear reactor in Japan. "A vigorous offensive on the nonwar uses of atomic energy would appear to be a timely and effective way of countering [Russia's nuclear-weapons program] and minimizing the harm already done in Japan," declared a Pentagon memo at the time. Civilian nuclear power became the best way to change the subject and cast Washington as the benevolent hegemon. "Now, while the memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain so vivid, construction of such a power plant in a country like Japan would be a dramatic and Christian gesture which could lift all of us far above the recollection of the carnage of those cities," U.S. Atomic Energy Commissioner Thomas Murray said in a major policy address in 1954. It was the first time a U.S. nuclear policymaker had publicly floated the idea of building a reactor in Japan.
At first, antinuclear sentiment in Japan was strong. By the end of that year, 34 million people—more than half of eligible Japanese voters—had signed a petition in favor of banning nuclear weapons. But the United States and a few prominent Japanese supporters were determined to sell the peaceful atom to Japan, separating military concerns from energy. Media mogul Matsutarō Shōriki used his newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun, to advance the cause. (One rumor held that he was a CIA agent.) The newspaper, along with the U.S. Embassy, cosponsored an exhibit welcoming the atom back to Japan that regularly attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors, even in Hiroshima, as it traveled around the country. By the beginning of 1956, the pendulum of Japanese public opinion had swung in the other direction, according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Tuesday, November 25, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 25, 2003) - Five members of the East Tennessee State football team earned All-Southern Conference honors, as senior tailback Gaven Varner (Summerville, S.C.), senior cornerback Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.) and junior safety Gerald Sensabaugh (Kingsport, Tenn.) were first-team selections and senior defensive lineman Brandon Calton (Pennington Gap, Va.) and sophomore offensive lineman Quinton Staton (Chattanooga, Tenn.) were second-team picks. Varner earned his first All-SoCon selection after a sensational 2003 season where he gained 1,199 yards on the ground, third on the ETSU single-season rushing list. Varner ran for seven touchdowns and was also a threat in the passing game, ranking third on the Bucs with 18 receptions this season. The 6-1, 230 pound tailback was a workhorse for the Bucs, carrying the ball 37 times twice this season, and rushing for over 100 yards seven times, including a career-high 197 yards in the season-ending victory over The Citadel last Saturday. Tiller was a first-team selection for the second-straight season, despite missing the final five games of the season due to an injury. Even with opposing quarterbacks regularly staying away from Tiller's side of the field, he still finished the season second on the Bucs with four interceptions. He earned several conference and national awards after intercepting two passes and returning them for touchdowns on Oct. 18 against Liberty. Tiller also recorded 18 tackles, one for a loss, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and five pass breakups. Sensabaugh is also a repeat first-team pick having earned the award in 2002. The athletic safety finished fourth on the team with 74 tackles and was second with eight pass breakups. He also tied for the team lead and tied for fourth in the conference with three forced fumbles. Sensabaugh also made an enormous impact on special teams this season, blocking five punts. He tied an NCAA Division I-AA record by blocking three punts on Nov. 1 against Georgia Southern. Sensabaugh also added two sacks and a fumble recovery on the season. Calton earned his second All-SoCon selection, as he was also a second-team member in 2001. He finished fourth on the Bucs with 75 tackles, second with 15.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, setting career-highs in each of those categories. Calton tied for fourth in the Southern Conference in TFL's and tied for sixth in the SoCon in sacks. He also had two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a blocked extra point this season. Calton had a season-high 10 tackles on Nov. 1 against Georgia Southern and had nine in the season-opener at Eastern Michigan on Aug. 28. Staton earned his first All-SoCon selection after his second stellar season at right guard for the Bucs. He was one of three players to start all 12 games on an offensive line that suffered several injuries this season. Staton was an integral part of a Buccaneer offensive line that allowed just 15 quarterback sacks this season after allowing 41 last season.
