Baked Mediterranean Cod
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with vegetable cooking spray. Arrange the dish in a single layer in the dish and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes or until it is translucent. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, lemon juice, capers, olives, sugar, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring several times. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon the sauce over the fish, place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Jones said they do not suspect that he was injured or intentionally set the fire. Thirty to 40 residents of the apartment at 915 S.

JOHN L. SMITH: Clemens' smackdown before House panel may only be warm ...
Even diehard baseball fans are feeling cynical these days. Despite the good news that spring training has arrived, they find themselves cringing over the state of the great American pastime. They are, of course, carnival rubes mesmerized by the increasingly pathetic patter echoing from Major League Baseball. I know most fans are hopeless saps for the game because I am one of those ditzy diehards who gets all warm and fuzzy at the first news report heralding the reporting of pitchers and catchers to spring training. But even the most devoted fanatic's addled reverie was broken up by the Feb. 13 appearance of the great Roger Clemens before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, in which he attempted to counter accusations by his former trainer, Brian McNamee, that he had taken steroids and human growth hormones.
2007 No. 1: City sets homicide record : With nine killings, officials ...
When Lamar Fleming was shot, she was preparing to have his child. But that night in March changed everything. Mr. Fleming stepped out to get a cigarette and was gunned down near their home. "After that happened, I wasn't eating or nothing," she recalled this month. At the time of the murder, she was about nine weeks pregnant. But days after her husband's death, she had a miscarriage. She had to deliver the unborn baby the day after his funeral, she said. It was almost a relief. "I didn't want to deal with another child, and he was gone," she said. Ms. Smith has five children, three of whom are Mr. Fleming's offspring. They're all between the ages of 1 and 9. Since her husband's death, she's had to go through a lot on her own - their daughter's kindergarten graduation, his birthday and holidays.
Unwanted cats swamp shelters
And while dogs must be kept confined, cats are often free to wander neighborhoods, she added, which leads to opportunities to produce offspring. A feline can have as many as three litters of four to six kittens in a year, and each resulting kitten can do the same, starting as young as 5 months. Unwanted kittens can become feral cats, which can't usually be domesticated and can create neighborhood nuisances, officials said. And these animals rarely find homes once captured by animal control officers. "It's dismal for feral cats," said Seaaca Capt. Aaron Reyes. According to the National Animal Interest Alliance, cats captured and processed by area animal shelters in 2006 were nearly twice as likely to be euthanized than dogs. Many officials support mandatory spay-neuter laws such as AB 1634, a bill that would require owners to spay or neuter their pets.
Dreams, bullpen stressing me out
Here I am the back-up beat writer in the middle of January. I'm dreaming this the night before I'm supposed to write one lousy fill-in blog for DOB? Such high standards you see, for the Braves/Man in Black. Or so sayeth my subconscious. Let me back up for a second. For those not reading carefully it's CARROLL again - hey! Wassup? Long time! - and I'm feeling a little out of it after submersing myself in hockey (hockey?) and a little Hawks and Falcons for the last three months. But with pitchers and catchers reporting in the we-can-almost-taste-it-now range, it's time for me to reacquaint myself with the little stitched round ball. And thank heaven for names with vowels. (Though I must say, Kovalchuk rolls off the fingertips pretty well by now
.) Camp Roger opens on Friday.
