The feral cat colony at JFK Airport is the cause of a real a cat fight - between authorities and cat people.
A group of about 60 cat lovers gathered at the Manhattan headquarters of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey today to denounce the rounding up of feral cats that live in a colony deep in the secured cargo areas of Kennedy International Airport.
The roundup began last week. Port Authority officials said that scores of felines — some of them descended from cats that had been walked out of cargo holds or abandoned by their owners — were congregating around a parking lot next to an unused Delta Air Lines building. The roundup has generated a fierce debate.
Cat rescue groups and animal rights advocates organized today’s rally. They said that an animal control strategy known as trap, neuter and release (T.N.R.) would be far more humane and effective than trapping and hunting the cats and taking the cats away.

INDIANAPOLIS (TICKER) — Starting in 2009, the NCAA women’s basketball tournament will have 16 sites for the first two rounds, the NCAA announced Friday. The tournament had eight sites the previous two years. It did have a 16-site format in 2004, when it set an attendance record. The decision was made after a 10-person committee reviewed the operational and logistics concern with the switch. The committee will solicit bids and select the eight additional sites for both 2009 and 2010. more…
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA women’s tournament will have 16 sites instead of eight for its first two rounds starting in 2009. The tournament last used the 16-site format in 2004, when it set an attendance record.

I wrote a my blog called Fabulous and over 50.I was doing some pretty heavy duty bitching about being over fifty and how much it really sucked.But I would like to take this time to acknowledge that there is a flip side to getting older and it it is not always a bad thing. This is because I am finding that there are many simple pleasures that come from the small stuff life has to offer. I could never really appreciate these things up until this time of my life.This being in in stark contrast to the the intense excitement and constant stimulation which was required when I was younger (like just a couple of years ago.)For example, up until this past year, I never had a plant that lived longer then a few months. I have recently come to discover, plants and flowers will grow and multiply if you give them water along with tender loving care!Since this revelation, I have slowly come to appreciate the beauty of growing my own small garden.This beautiful garden also gives Pinky(my faithful

A total of 25 blog articles are included in this edition, each one just as magical as the next, and I hope you enjoy reading them all as much as I did. I intentionally kept my comments short so that you can focus on the content of each article.
So, without further delay, I present to you Pediatric Grand Rounds 2.8.

Highlight Health: The best way to stay healthy and avoid getting sick.
“This is one of my earlier articles (I’ve been writing Highlight HEALTH since late December 2006). I was just starting to get in my “groove” writing the types of articles I wanted to publish (i.e. informative, heavily referenced). This was one of those articles that just took on a life of its own and blossomed into quite an interesting post. Handwashing … so simple, yet so important for good health.”

Alot of things will be happening on my blog over the next week. My precious friend Ipanema has bestowed an honor on me. I don't think I deserve it, but I am very honored non the less. I can't tell you about it though, until I officially post it. I have to figure out which 5 of my blog friends I will chose to receive this honor. Then she also gave me a second honor and I will also follow up on
First of all, I did not like it that the Hollywood rounds consisted of only one episode. Second of all, I am not really gung ho over anyone yet. I really liked Sundance’s original audition but last night he sounded awful. That was a disappointment. There are only a couple of girls I’m pulling for right now. One is the 2nd half of the “Best Friends”, Antonella. I was so glad her little diva friend was cut and not her. She seems to really have her head on straight. I am also liking Gina Glockson (the rocker chick). She made it to Hollywood last year but messed up her song and her room was cut. As for the other guys I really like Brandon Rogers but they didn’t show him singing last night. Chris Sligh is another one I’m pulling for (chubby funny guy with the fro).
I read AI spoilers and I already know who the top 24 is. A lot of them we haven’t even seen yet.
