Special to the Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
After a one-season absence, the Corsicana Tigers softball team is back in the postseason.
They open Friday's best-of-three Region II-4A bi-district playoff series against Mansfield Legacy with veteran players at important positions who were a part of the Tigers 2011 postseason run.
The one that included an epic 16-inning area-round playoff game against Royse City.
"We're excited to be back in there," Tigers coach Elizabeth Collier said. "Off my team, we have five who where from that playoff team. So we have some new ones too."
The Tigers' top two pitchers, Sidney Kirk and Raylee Smithart, were on the 2011 playoff team that lost to Royse City 1-0 in a Game 1 of the series that went four hours and 53 minutes. The Tigers also lost 5-0 in Game 2. The Tigers' defense made four errors behind Sidney Kirk in that second game.
"Sidney pitched very well in that game," Collier said.
The Tigers (19-13) and Mansfield Legacy (24-7-1) will open their three-game series at 7 p.m. Friday in Mansfield. Game 2 will be at noon Saturday in Corsicana. Game 3 if necessary would be 30 minutes after Game 2, also in Corsicana.
Legacy finished in second place in a competitive District 15-4A race. They have two solid pitchers, Ryan Wright, who is 6-1 with a 3.62 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 52 2/3 innings, and Courtney Hart, who is 8-1 with a 4.05 ERA. Legacy's top hitter is infielder Briana Walker, who has a .609 batting average, 23 RBIs and 24 stolen bases.
Wright has been injured some this season, but the Tigers expect to see her best, Collier said.
"We've been working on attacking what we know she is going to bring," Collier said.
Aside from Smithart and Kirk, three other players played on the 2011 Tigers playoff team -- Katy Polk, Kelsie Triplett and Maddie Andrews. Polk and Triplett started in the outfield. Kirk played second base. Smithart was the designated hitter (player). Andrews was a courtesy runner.
Smithart and Kirk have blossomed into the Tigers' top hitters. Andrews, who skipped a year of softball, also ignites the offense.
"Smithart and Kirk, they bring it every time they step up to the plate," Collier said. "Maddie does a great job of putting the ball in play. She gives us a lot of opportunities to score."
The Tigers, who finished in third place in 16-4A, battled consistency all season. They played well in the last week of the regular season, beating Lindale and losing to Whitehouse in a game in which the Tigers rallied from behind to get a lead before losing.
"We can go up and we can down," Collier said. "At the end of it, we do have the fight. We showed it in the Whitehouse game. We came from behind and went ahead. They showed themselves that they do have it."

Original recipe yields 8 servings
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 10-inch quiche or pie pan with pie crust. Sprinkle cheeses, chives and parsley over bottom of crust. Cook sausage in large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center. Arrange in spoke fashion over cheese layer. Beat eggs in medium bowl with wire whisk until light in color. Whisk in milk, salt and sugar until well blended. Carefully pour egg mixture over sausage layer; sprinkle with cayenne pepper, if desired. Arrange apple slices around outside edge of quiche, pressing down slightly into egg mixture to coat apples. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F; bake 15 to 20 minutes more or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Refrigerate leftovers.

Taking suggestions from others, I used two 9 inch pans and two crusts. We choose a pound of lean mild pork saugage to crumble and brown and put on top of the cheeses and parsley. This one pound was plenty for two dishes. It also ensured sausage in every bite. The egg and milk was not enough for two pies, so I increased the eggs to 7 and the milk to 2 cups. We used one and half large gala apples, snacking on the remaining apples while we waited on the quiche to bake. Because I used disposbale pie pans I placed them on a large jellyroll pan in the oven. When I reduced the heat I also put a crust shield (folded aluminum foil) around the pies to keep them from over drying and browning. It took about 15 minutes longer in our oven, which could be due to the extra pan under the pies and having two in the oven simultaneously. The quiche was very good. It had a sweet savory flavor that was accented by the salty crust and cheese.

Bravo! This recipe has become the focal point of my favorite breakfast (with whole grain blueberry muffins and a bowl of fresh fruit). There just couldn't be a prettier dish to set on the breakfast table in the morning, and the unique combination of flavors is a fun surprise for everyone. I've made it...oh, probably 35 or 40 times in the past year, and although it sometimes doesn't set up as well as I would like (maybe depending on the varying moisture content of the apples and/or the cheese?), it always tastes so good that no one cares! Even people who are skeptical of quiche have been enthusiastic. I have made a couple of minor changes: Since it certainly doesn't need the sausage for its protein or fat content, I just sprinkle 1/4 pound of browned turkey sausage into the bottom of the crust -- just enough to get some in every bite for the flavor. When I use a commercial frozen deepdish crust, I also cut the milk back to 1 cup; but in my own crust in a 10" pie plate, the full amount is perfect (but takes about 10 extra minutes in the oven).
Thumbs up from the picky husband who doesn't like quiche.

Yesterday evening, I was brutally beaten by my brothers on the Seattle Police force as I stood before an entrance to Pier 18 of the Seattle Port in my clergy garb bellowing, "Keep the Peace! Keep the Peace!" An officer pulled me down from behind and threw me to the asphalt. Between my cries of pain and shouts of "I'm a man of peace!" he pressed a knee to my spine and immobilized my arms behind my back, crushing me against the ground. With the right side of my face pressed to the street, he repeatedly punched the left side of my face for long enough that I had time to pray that the crunching sounds I heard were not damaging my brain. I was cuffed and pulled off the ground by a different officer who seemed genuinely appalled when he saw my face and clerical collar. He asked who I was and why I was here, to which I replied, "I'm a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I believe another world is possible." He led me shaking to a police van where began a 12-hour journey of incarcerated misery.read more

The question that I ask is, in this rapidly changing world, where has the church been and where will it be in the future? What we do know is that in the sixties, some clergy were in the streets, marching for civil rights but it was a small percentage. Many of them lost their churches as a result. More clergy preached about what they thought Jesus would want us to do about the Vietnam War, and their actions caused one of the largest exoduses in church history. Clergy learned that there were consequences in taking a conscientious stand. Today they are learning that lesson all over again when taking a stand for full inclusion for gays and lesbians in the life of the church. And, based on my limited survey, most of them are "tip-toeing" around the Occupiers protests. Denominations are once again being split by righteousness.read more

My name is Baby, and my story is unfortunately a common story with older pets that end up in shelters.
When my owner passed away, I was left alone and scared in my house all alone. A neighbor picked me up from my home and took me to a shelter, where I was going to be put down just because of my age! Thankfully, Young at Heart Pet Rescue came to my aid, and now I'm safe and sound in their care while I wait for a new family to love.
I'm a 12-years-young Petite Muted Calico, but you'd never know my age based on my looks! I'm great with other cats and came to Young at Heart with my housemate, Pumpkin. We like each other, but we're not bonded, so though it would be nice to be adopted together, it's not a requirement.
I am a little shy after all the changes in my life, but I am very gentle and love to give you occasional face rubs once we get to know each other. I'm very sweet and loving, and would love to be YOUR baby!
With a clean bill of health from the vet, I'm ready to begin the next chapter in my life. I may be shy at first, but I've got a lot of love to give if you just give me a chance. Why don't you come meet me at the cat adoption center and see for yourself?
I use my litter box like a good girl, I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. So fill out an adoption application today. I'd love to go home with you tomorrow!
For more information, visit the Young At Heart Pet Rescue website or check out the Lake Zurich Adoption Center. Click here to download an adoption application.

This was an easy delicious recipe. I mixed frozen spinach that was drained in with the cottage cheese.
My family loves this dish. I have a picky 5 yr. old who only wants pizza and hot dogs. This dish has become her favorite. I made a few changes. I started off by sauteeing a frozen 3 pepper and onion blend in evoo with minced garlic. I then added the Italian sausage to it. I used 2 16 oz. jars of Spaghetti Sauce instead of 1. I took out the black olives and added frozen spinach. I used 16oz. of mozzarella as well. I had enough left over for leftovers for my lunch and dinner again. This was totally full of awesomeness.
this was really good and so easy to make! i substituted ricotta instead of the cottage cheese, it turned out really well!

You want to contribute to a Roth IRA, but you make too much money, and your employer doesn't offer a Roth 401(k), eh? If your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is higher than $110,000 (or $173,000 if married), you can't contribute directly to a Roth IRA for 2012. But what if you REALLY want to contribute to a Roth IRA? There IS a way!
Non-deductible Traditional IRA contributions allow high income earners to get some of the tax benefits of IRA's, but not all of them. Money put into a Traditional IRA is normally tax deductible, grows tax deferred, and is taxed when you take the money out in retirement. As the name suggests, non-deductible IRA contributions don't give you a tax deduction, however the money grows tax deferred, and only the growth is taxable when you take it out in retirement.
Roth IRA's are not tax deductible either, but the growth is never taxed! You can see why someone would much rather have money in a Roth IRA as opposed to having non-deductible IRA contributions... huge tax savings on the growth! This is why many people would want to convert their non-deductible IRA contributions to a Roth IRA.
As recently as 2009, you could only convert an IRA to a Roth IRA if your income was below $55,000 ($89,000 if married). But in 2010, those limitations were eliminated so now there are NO income limits on IRA conversions.
So if you want to put money into a Roth IRA, but make too much money, here's what you can do:
Step 1: Open new Traditional IRA
Step 2: Make a non-deductible contribution to your IRA (Maximum of $5,000 for 2012, $6,000 if over 50)
Step 3: Open new Roth IRA
Step 4: Tell the custodian of your IRA that you want to do a Roth conversion
That's it! Plus, you can do this for each you and your spouse... There are a couple of things to remember when doing the conversion:
After contributing to the non-deductible IRA, wait at least 30 days before converting to the Roth IRA. Some experts recommend waiting until the next year. This helps establish a paper trail of the conversion.
Be sure to open a new Roth IRA for the conversion. If the IRS calls the conversion into question, the entire Roth IRA might lose its preferred tax status. You don't want to expose your current Roth IRA to this risk.
Don't forget to file Form 8606 with your tax return. If the IRS ever comes calling, you need to be able to prove that you contributed to a non-deductible IRA. Form 8606 is the proof you MUST have.
Be sure you consult with a financial advisor and/or an accountant before implementing this strategy, especially if you have a Traditional IRA as you may expose yourself to additional taxes.
So what do you think? Thinking about implementing this strategy? Let me know your thoughts or questions!

Strong is the hero as Surbiton clinch dramatic promotion
11:02am Monday 16th April 2012 in Local Sports Round-up By Colin Pike
Chloe Strong was the toast of Surbiton Ladies as the Sugden Road side secured promotion to the Investec Women's Hockey League Premier Division on Sunday.
Having lost their first promotion play-off match against Conference West champions Buckingham a fortnight earlier, Surbiton were facing elimination with one minute remaining of their second match against the Premier Division's ninth placed team, Slough, on Saturday, as they trailed 3-2, Vicky Bryant having scored both Surbiton goals.
But Strong's last minute penalty corner conversion snatched a 3-3 draw to keep Surbiton's promotion hopes alive.
Buckingham drew 1-1 with Conference North champions Beeston, but lost 3-1 to Slough on Sunday to give the winners of the final match between Surbiton and Beeston the opportunity to clinch the second promotion place.
A Strong brace, two more from Vicky Bryant both scored twice and a lone Abi Robinson effort secured a comfortable 5-2 win to clinch promotion.
Surbiton will hope to complete a promotion and cup double on May 13, when they play the University of Birmingham in the Investec Women's Cup final at Cannock.

comment on a post gay rights extremists bring us an e-harmony disaster over 5 years ago
I think that any business that one should need a license to operate should not be formally (legally) allowed to discriminate. From a practical stand point, if you are gay or lesbian, you probably won't want to be served by a lawyer or a hairstylist who is known to be bigoted. Do I think that dating services that construct psychological profiles of clients for the purpose of matching them should be licensed? Well they could do severe harm by matching up the wrong people, so yes, they should be licensed. So they should not be formally allowed to discriminate.
Personally, the moment I heard that they didn't allow gays and lesbians to be clients was the moment I decided they were never going to receive a filled-out questionnaire from me!
As far as bigotry in general is concerned, it's a bad trait, but has to be put in perspective. A lot of basically nice people are bigoted. I've known people who went to jail for pot, were severely abused by people of another race, and were never able to get past that, for example. Bigotry is bad, and on average, more bigoted people are probably creepy than are non-bigoted people. But being bigoted is not so bad as, say, chopping folks up and eating them. The fault of bigotry is not the worst one, and should be viewed in perspective. No one is perfect.
I think the hyped-up pseudo-consensus that black people tend to be anti-gay and lesbian is baloney, by the way. I think it's just another divide-and- conquer ploy.
comment on a post [Updated] Blaming Blacks and Mormons = Braindead over 5 years ago
First of all; there is no real hard data supporting the "theory" that black people ever voted against gay and lesbian marriage. It just doesn't exist. There is a possibility that about 20% of black people voted against it. But that, even if true, is not much of a statistic. The concept that black people are anti- gay/ lesbian is currently being heavily promoted by the Nazi "right." They are aggressively promoting it in every progressive venue! Divide and conquer!
As for the Mormons, there are not very many of them. It is true that the "mainstream" Mormon church as anti-gay and lesbian. But there do exist liberal Mormons who are pro-gay and lesbian as well.
Let's not let our enemies make us enemies of each other! Please!
comment on a post Goodbye, Ralph Nader [UPDATED] over 5 years ago
When I first began blogging, at repentantnadervoter.org, I parsed this thing so many ways it would astound most people. I have been thinking about it since 2004. In the end, it's just the way of the world that there has to be a Nader. How could there not be?
This may be seen as unfortunate, or destructive, or miserable, but in the end, it is how things must be. Yeah, I voted for Obama, but I won't complain about Nader. It would be like complaining about the weather. There are reasons things have to be as they are, and we can't make the world conform to some ideal of perfection. Nobody promised us that life would be easy. We must accept a world that challenges us. We can complain, but the world will always place challenges in our path. How could it be otherwise?
Life will not ever be simple and easy. So why complain about the weather?
comment on a post Will Bush Really Leave Office on 1/20/09? over 5 years ago
Congresspeople are stating that hey were effectively threatened with martial law if they didn't pass the bailout. The bill itself was not the trigger. What Wolf is referring to is the fact that, as of October 1, 2008, the 1rst Brigade of the 3rd Division of the US Army has actually been deployed in the US itself to enforce policy.
This military force, unlike the ordinary police, or the National Guard, has been indoctrinated to follow the direct chain of military command that is controlled by the president. Even if the National Guard is federalized in an emergency, it is still a force that is indoctrinated to follow command from state governments. The 1rst Brigade is a strictly federal unit of three to four thousand soldiers that always follows the federal chain of command.
The use of such federal (central command) troops inside a nation has been the historical turning point at which open societies have become fascist.
on a comment on Will Bush Really Leave Office on 1/20/09? over 5 years ago
I was one of the very few who actually protested when the supreme court involved itself in the 2000 "election." I would put about nothing past these people.
I don't really think Naomi Wolf is in this just for book sales. And I hope you saw the video in which Representative Brad Sherman tells the Congress how he had been threatened with martial law if the "banker's bailout" didn't pass.
I've been an activist since Vietnam, and Nixon was a liberal compared to BushCo.
It all looks rather dire to me. But I get scared easily these days...
comment on a post Headsup from Kucinich over 5 years ago
The $850 BILLION was the issue. It would be slightly nice if judges could keep a few people in their homes, but statistically, it could never amount to much. This was essentially a small part of the puzzle.
The bailout will force the US government to borrow more money at interest. That "at interest" is the is the thing to worry about. Because this interest will amount to 100 times what it would take to stop half of the foreclosures.
The bottom line is really that BushCo has spent all our money on Iraq and Afghanistan. No combination of laws will ever redeem that value.
The details of the Banker's Bailout are less significant than the fact of the Bailout itself. And the Bailout was itself merely a side-show. Look in the vault; the money isn't in there! Where did it all go?

I am quite alarmed about the economic side of things, and I think politics is about to become tightly focused on the money issues very soon.
I am afraid the money problems will become very serious before the elections, and I saw this coming for months now. I don't know the answers. It's gotten to the point where China is actually warning us to avoid tariffs!
on a comment on What will Happen Without A Bailout over 5 years ago
It's seriously ugly, and I am really scared. Here's some links:
He who wishes to fight must first count the cost. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be dampened. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength. Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue... In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.
I hang out at Elaine's a lot.
on a comment on What will Happen Without A Bailout over 5 years ago
They are probably not discernible to the average political blogger. The economic stuff is obscure.
Please notice that since the thing was reported passed at 1:00 PM, the DOW has dropped 300 points.
Maybe next time you will listen to me.
In economics issues, the information is very complex.
The basic problem is that this 850 billion dollars will be borrowed from Asia and the MidEast against taxes expected from ordinary Americans. At interest.
They will try to do this again, by the way. It cannot possibly work. The basic principle is you cannot get blood from a turnip, I guess.
comment on a post What will Happen Without A Bailout over 5 years ago
Frankly, the issues involved here are quite complex. But this bank bailout is being recognized as a very classic BAD MOVE by the really smart ones.
The bailout plan could actually trigger something worse than a recession. This will affect YOU quite dramatically! Call your congress critter and demand NO BANK BAILOUT!
comment on a post What part of "this bailout won't work" don't you get? over 5 years ago
I have been spending 90% of my time over on the economics blogs. 90% of the really super-sharp economics analysts are claiming that the bank bailout will likely trigger, rather than restrain, a sudden economic depression. Passage of the bank bailout bill could trigger depression nearly as quickly as an Iran attack. This is a crisis that truly transcends politics. Elaine Meinel Supkis, perhaps the the most astute economics history analyst has said: And the bill: yes, it is a classic, ridiculous Xmas tree. And will bankrupt us. Scores of other top tier analysts have said essentially the same. Bush and Paulson are not receiving input from these top-tier analysts; they are depending on information from sources backed by people who have extensive self-interests.
As I understand the situation, the Senate version of the bill will be taken up by the House tomorrow morning, Friday, October 3, 2008. The stakes could not be higher. So please call and e-mail your House Representatives and demand that they say NO to this bank bailout! You do not want to know about how it will be to stand in a soup line.
Call tonight and early tomorrow morning, please! You can find their phone numbers and e-mail addresses here:

Marty Gaddis, 38, faces charges that include concealing a death and abandonment of a body, WSB-TV reported (http://bit.ly/1a1ASNH). It wasn't known whether Gaddis has an attorney.
Smith's mother, Tanya Smith, is a Holly Springs police lieutenant.
"As a mother, I'm angry. I'm so angry that they treated her the way they did," she said.
"She didn't deserve just to be dumped on the side of the road, just because they didn't know what else to do," Smith added.
Jasper is about 60 miles north of Atlanta.

But sometimes those dangers are more intimate than they bargained for… Ever since he saved Dr. Mackenzie Grant's life, panther shifter and sorcerer Kalen Black has had trouble keeping the beautiful doctor out of his thoughts, and his heart. The brush with death awakened an intense passion between them-one that for the first time had the notorious loner letting down his guard. With the Alpha Pack battling an evil Fae who is slowly gaining control over Kalen's mind, Kalen can no longer trust his own actions, and he breaks off his affair with Mackenzie in order to keep her safe. But when Mackenzie learns that she is carrying Kalen's child, no amount of danger will keep her away from the man she loves. To protect his mate and unborn child, Kalen will have to battle a terrible evil, unleash the full fury of his power, and risk destroying them all…

Unlike plastic pet fountains that develop cracks, this 72-oz. drinking fountain is made from durable, nonporous glazed ceramic that mitigates bacteria growth. Ceramic resists bacteria (commonly found on porous plastic surfaces) that cause acne on a pet's mouth and chin. The ceramic drinking fountain is dishwasher-safe, enabling simple, thorough cleaning. The fountain has an integrated pump that draws water from the basin to the top of the dome where it pools and cascades back into the 2 1/4" H reservoir. The falling stream attracts pets with the sound of trickling water and entices them to drink more often--a practice that can reduce the pet's risk of kidney disease and urinary tract infection. A charcoal filter removes impurities responsible for unpleasant tastes and odors in water. Filter lasts up to 30 days. Plugs into AC. 14" L x 11 1/2" W x 6 1/4" H. (7 lbs.)
"Very sanitary, nice looking, and easy to clean." - F, Texas

Very pleased with fountain and service
By Les Chats
from Akron, OH
I have this water fountain which my 4 cats love! I have enjoyed the water fountain for about 4 years with no problems until this morning. The fountain is not holding water but there does not appear to be a hole in it.I contacted the customer service rep who found my order. I will ship it back to them and they are going to replace it. I think this is fantastic! My cats will be disappointed for the next couple of days as they are not accustomed to drinking from a bowl.This is a gret product and the customer service exceeded my expectations.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best Cat Fountain Ever
By Cat Lady
from Austin, TX
Over the years I have used about every brand cat fountain made. This will definitely be the last model I try because it's perfect - stylish, sturdy, easy to use. All my cats took to it right away but the true test was a finicky cat who doesn't much like fountains of any sort.

Great product.......BUT
By Cindy Sheffield
from Hoffman Estates, IL
My 5 cats LOVE thsi product, I removed the actual bowl at top so it is a stream upward of water, but the pump went out within a few months. The one thing that I love about purchases from H&S is that its a lifetime guarantee, there were no issues returning and getting new one! I have made many purchases with H&S and I am pleased with all of them.

Problems with motor
By Sue
from Coleman, Mi.
My cats love this watering system. The biggest problem is the little motor. I've had to have it replaced 3 or more times. I wish that a motor could be sent instead of packing up the whole thing to send back when all that's needed is the motor. I do recommend this watering bowl inspite of the problems I've had.

Water fountain and service are excellent
I have owned this fountain for 3-4 years without any issues, except general cleaning and maintenance, until this morning. The fountain is not holding water but there is not a hole and it is solid so I know the cats did not spill the water.I have contacted the service department, spoke with a customer service rep. very promptly who located my original order. I am going to ship this unit back and they will return a new one to me.My cats will be disappointed for a few days as they are not accustomed to drinking from a bowl.
Ceramic Pet Fountain, great unit...but
By Yikes, 4 cats!
from Phoenix
We have very hard water in AZ. Unit gets slimy and needs cleaning weekly which is ok, but I would like to be able to buy an extra pump, rubber feet and rubber pump connector. Also, recommendations for pump cleaning would be helpful.

"Impervious to cat dismantling"!
By Spritey
from Powell, Ohio
After much research and the desire to deter the engineer cat that completely and repeatedly dismantled the other fountain even after adding Velcro. I purchased this fountain and issue solved. It is a breeze to assemble and clean and fits three cats around it. Well worth the money and time not spent on reassembling. :)
Great Product
By b&j
from Sidney, BC Canada
We've had other cat fountains and the biggest problem was cleaning, lots of little corners and crevices that were hard to get clean. This fountain is smooth, ceramic and easy to keep clean sparkling water for our cat. Excellent service.
Best pet fountain ever!
By Not the crazy cat lady.
from Fort Myers, FL
I've had one of these for several years. My cat loves having fresh water and drinks from it several times a day. It's so much easier to clean than the other pet fountains on the market. Hammacher Schlemmer stands behind their products. When they could not replace the motor that burned out, they replaced the whole fountain. Excellent customer service!
By carriegus
from minneapolis, MN
Darn! I was so excited about this founatain because I love Hammacher as a company and they have such great products. We were looking for a ceramic or stainless fountain for our cat and finally found the "it" fountain. However, Samson laughed when he heard the loud noise coming from the pump that drowned out the pleasant noise it was supposed to make for the fountain. After the 3rd night night of NOISE from the ABNOXIOUS (and cheap) pump, we finally unplugged it and popped a bottle of Champagne and went to sleep. This product is going back and we'll continue our search for a quality fountain.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: While we regret that this product didn't delight you, we are gratified that you took advantage of our unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.

August 2, 2014
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - A judge is to decide if a terrorism consultant will testify at the trial of the Army psychiatrist charged in a deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage.
Maj. Nidal Hasan's attorneys object to the testimony of Evan Kohlmann, who's expected to be questioned at a pretrial hearing Wednesday.
Kohlmann says Hasan meets six factors that indicate someone is a homegrown terrorist. Defense attorneys say prosecutors don't need Kohlmann's testimony or 50-page report on Hasan's case to show a motive or premeditation.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the shootings at the Central Texas Army post.
Hasan, an American-born Muslim, faces the death penalty if convicted. His trial is to start with jury selection May 29 and testimony July 1.

Eggs: I love eggs any way I can get them. I eat breakfast for dinner, or for lunch or for an actual breakfast! I hope that my heart is not minding that I find eggs (especially organic or free range) just delightful to eat and delightful to look at! Weird I know!
I actually found this picture on my friend Holly's Pinterest page and I had to have it! It's almost midnight in Chicago and I know I have to go to bed but this picture makes me want to run downstairs and fry some eggs! Call me crazy.
The next time you come to my house for breakfast this is what we are making. All I can think about right now is how do I make eggs for 10 people just like this and serve them simultaneously with side dishes and keep everything hot???? Help!
Eggs Cooked in Peppers Recipe!
- Fresh Eggs
- 3 large peppers, one green, one red, one yellow
- salt & pepper
- Pam, oil or margarine (your choice)
- Remove seeds etc from peppers; slice peppers into "rings" about 3/4″ in width.
- Coat frying pan with Pam, a small dollop of margarine or 1/2 tsp of oil (brush oil around pan)
- Place one ring of each color into hot pan, immediately drop one egg into each pepper ring and cook until sunny side up to your taste!
Since I am all about eggs today, I'll share a few hints with the picture which is actually the real reason for my post!
- Always check the expiration date on the egg carton BEFORE you buy. If you are buying several dozen and don't plan to use them immediately, make sure your expiration date is as far in advance as you can get it.
- Always test your eggs for freshness in spite of date on the carton. To determine freshness put eggs into a pan of cold water. If they sink they are fresh–"floaters" are spoiled. Discard spoiled eggs immediately. If they are dated as "fresh" return to your store for a refund.
- To check freshness by looking, the shells of fresh eggs are rough and dull.
- The shells of stale eggs become smooth and shiny.
- If you hold an egg up to the light, a fresh egg will appear clear!
- Eggs should be kept refrigerated. (Scary: throughout my entire childhood we colored dozens of Easter Eggs; we left these hard-boiled beauties out for decoration-probably for more than 72 hours. We ate them and I am still alive ... amazing).
- To remove the shells of hardboiled eggs; tap the egg against the side of the pan to crack the shell. Begin peeling using your thumb. If the shell tears the egg hold the egg under cold running water and continue peeling.
- Or–Drain water from the boiled eggs. Rinse in cold water. Drain again. Cover pot and shake vigorously until all eggs are cracked. Peel immediately under cold water. (I am no good at peeling. My hard boiled eggs always turn out like pitted concrete! :( ).
- When boiling eggs to make deviled eggs or other "whole egg" dishes, try covering the eggs in aluminum foil to avoid cracking while boiling!
- When storing egg-yolks, keep them in an air-tight container with enough water to cover them. Three day limit, please!

Former Sabres goalies Dominik Hasek and Grant Fuhr will join NHL ambassador Willie O'Ree in Buffalo this week for the 2011 Willie O'Ree Skills Weekend. The event, hosted by Hasek's Heroes, will run Thursday through Sunday.
The weekend will involve 45 boys and girls from youth hockey organizations throughout North America, including Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.
The skills showcase, which will feature NHL alumni and college and USA Hockey coaches, will include a game in HSBC Arena and attendance at Sabres practice Thursday and their game Saturday against Atlanta.
"I am honored to participate in this tremendous event and pleased that the National Hockey League, Buffalo Sabres and Hasek's Heroes have joined together to support these boys and girls," said O'Ree, the NHL's first black player. "It will be a great weekend for hockey, proving again that hockey is for everyone."
