EXTREME MAKEOVER: WEIGHT LOSS EDITION - 'Tony' -- Overweight for as long as he can remember, Tony attributes his nutritionally unhealthy lifestyle and food addiction to an unstable family life throughout his childhood. He had worked in food service management most of his career, but quit when he decided his weight had gotten out of control. Now, at 49 years of age, Tony's weight is teetering on the 400 lb. mark, causing him to be jobless and threatening his future with his fiancée. Without the help of transformational specialist, trainer and bestselling author Chris Powell, Tony fears he will never get his weight and food addiction under control. At the start of his year-long transformation, he learns from Dr. Terry Schaack at the California Health and Longevity Institute that, since he carries the majority of his fat on his abdomen, he is at high risk for a variety of cardiovascular complications. With Tony's health at stake, Chris works with him to undo all of the years of unhealthy living that led up to this point. But the road to health is rougher than Chris had anticipated for his client: During his 12-month journey, Tony faces homelessness, the unexpected death of a beloved family member and a change in his engagement, all while taking on the race of his life to regain his health before his 50th birthday. Find out what happens on the Season Premiere of 'Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,' SUNDAY, JUNE 3 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

POTSDAM - The Hammond Girls and the Madrid-Waddington Boys took divergent routes to the same destination, a berth in Saturdays Class D regional finals, in Tuesday nights twinbill of New York State Tournament basketball action at SUNY Potsdam.
Make that regional finals berths opposite top-ranked and undefeated Section 2 Champions.
Hammond (21-2) controlled Elizabethtown-Lewis (19-2) from opening tip and secured a 47-31 victory and a meeting with Fort Edward at Adirondack County Community College at noon on Saturday.
You wouldnt believe how hard we worked since last Tuesday to get ready to get back to the regional finals. We expected them to play man-to-man but they came out in zone. But it didnt matter because we were ready for anything, said Hammond Coach Shawn Dack after his Lady Knights buried nine three-pointers.
Our seniors gave us great leadership. We talked to Gabby Marshall about playing like a senior and she was ready to hit those three-point shots.
Madrid-Waddington (17-7) erased an 11-point deficit in the second half and used three outstanding defensive plays in the final 30 seconds of an electrified fourth quarter to claim a 49-46 win over Moriah (11-11). The Jackets earned a 4 p.m. matchup with Argyle at Hudson Falls High School and a rematch of last years regional which vaulted M-W into the New York State Final 4.
Moriah shot the ball well, their big guy clogged up the middle and they penetrated our man-to-man defense very well in the first half. We went to a zone in the second half and that worked better, said M-W Coach Aaron Jones.
I just cant enough about our guys. After we cut their 10-point lead down and they built it back up to 11 a lot of teams would have let down. But our guys just dont quit on anything.
Hammonds preparedness was illustrated on the opening tip which Alyssa Crosby directed to Courtney Bova who took the ball to the basket for a tough fastbreak conversion. Crosby, who spent much of the Section 10 Tournament playing in the post, shifted to the perimeter and buried a pair of three-pointers and scored 11 points leading the Devils to 18-7 first quarter lead.
She netted a three in the second quarter and went to score a game-high 16 points, grab 10 rebounds and pass out four assists.
Marshall (9 rebounds) netted a three-pointer in all four quarter scoring 12 points. Bova (4 assists) knocked two threes in the third quarter and finished 10 points and Emily Bush (5 rebounds) provided nine interior points through the first three quarters where the Devils opened a 43-23 lead.I really thought we would see a lot of man to man tonight. But they came out zone. The team played very well and I feel very good about my shots. said Marshall. I feel a little anxiety about playing the regional finals but thats okay. We are all really excited.
Lily Whalen buried three three-pointers leading the Lions with 15 points. Shonna Brooks scored eight second-half points and Jasmin Barnes tallied seven points with five rebounds.
Hammond is the best team we have seen all year. They just had too many options for us, said E-L Coach Colby Pulsifier. We tried to take the middle away and make them make the extra pass. They made the passes and they shot the ball very well. They made nine threes and we had only given up 15 all year.
Midway through the fourth quarter. Moriah had methodically built a 27-16 lead by controlling the tempo and the boards through the combination of smooth freshman center Dan Jaquish (12 points, 9 rebounds), crafty shot-making southpaw forward in Derek Brassard (16 points) and point guard Jessup Calkins, who did an outstanding defensive job in preventing penetration to M-Ws standout floor general Colin OBryan.
But the Yellowjackets revived their cause with a swarming defense which forced a quick flurry of turnovers. Richard Wright scored off a steal and OBryan invigorated the halfcourt offense with an acrobatic drive down the lane and a pull-up jumper to cut the difference to 27-23.
Jacob Barney opened the fourth quarter with a three to tie the score at 30-30. Eight lead changes and three ties later, the Vikings had a 46-45 lead on a jumper by Brassard and control the ball as the contest approached its final 30 seconds.
But the M-W defense denied the Vikings a good look and with the shot clock running down, Greg Thompson intercepted a pass to the wing and raced downcourt to a layup for a 47-46 lead with 29.4 seconds to play.
The Vikings bid to answer was snuffed as Maurice Rease intercepted an interior pass and netted two free throws for a 49-46 lead. A final desperation possession for Moriah produced two three-point attempts and OBryan blocked the second from behind at the buzzer.
I was just hanging back and he kept looking to the wing. So I just waited for the pass and picked it off, said Thompson of his decisive steal. Our defense has been off and on at times but we have been able to turn it on when we need it.
OBryan (8 rebounds, 8 assists), scored six of his 14 points in the fourth quarter where Wright (10 points), who scored six points in third quarter, and Rease (10 points), who netted two threes in the first quarter, also netted clutch jumpers. Thompson (6 rebounds) finished with eight points and Zach Brock added four.
Greg Thompson struggled with foul trouble tonight but he just keeps making big plays, said Jones. Colin OBryan just came through with a great fourth quarter and Zach Brock grabbed some key rebounds).
Tyler Pratt (6 points) and Ryan Shpur (8 points) both key clutch time jumpers for Moriah.
Hoosic Valley 44, Canton 25: Defending state champion Hoosic Valley (20-3) relayed the momentum of an 11-2 second-quarter run past the Bears (19-3). Emma Rexford anchored the Canton scoring with 15 points, including three three-pointers. Katie Christy chipped in six points while Kali Frank and Emily Pinckney with two apiece as the Lady Bears who trailed 15-11 after the first quarter and 26-13 by halftime. Cassidy Chapko scored 22 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, had seven steals and handed out four assists in leading Hoosic Valley.
Alyssa Paul was the teams next leading scorer with eight points.
Hoosic Valley advances to take on Section 7 champion AuSable Valley in the Class C quarter-final round on Saturday at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Posts Tagged 'Kurt Wallander'
Thank you to the Irish Times for the suggestions.
1 The Troubled Man
After more than two decades of angst-ridden crime-solving, Swedish detective Kurt Wallander takes his last bow in Mankell's suitably gloomy new novel. The Ystad detective's many fans won't want to miss finding out how Wallander, now in his 60s, deals with a cold-war mystery involving Soviet submarines in Swedish waters, as well as his new role as a grandparent and the spectre of his own impending dementia.
2 Great House
At the centre of Krauss's second novel is a desk that was plundered by the Nazis in Hungary in 1944 and now links the four narrators of the book: a New York novelist who was given the desk by a friend of a friend later murdered by Gen Pinochet; an elderly Israeli widower raging against his estranged son; an elderly British man whose wife came to Britain with the Kindertransport before the second World War; and a young American woman at Oxford University, in love with a man whose strict father tracks down the possessions of Holocaust victims. This is a powerful work about grief, memory and the weight of history.
3 Mistaken
By Neil Jordan
The story of a young man from Marino Crescent in north Dublin who discovers he has a southside doppelgänger, Mistaken recently won the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award at Listowel. Jordan (left) painstakingly evokes a changing Dublin, from the 1960s to the present day, as his narrator Kevin grows up and finds his fate is inextricably tied to that of Gerard, his more affluent lookalike, with tragic results.
4 A Visit from the Goon Squad
A book that combines the stories of an ageing 21st-century music producer, a beautiful young kleptomaniac in the 1990s, a group of confused young Californian punks in the 1970s and a desperate publicist with a dictator for a client could have been a confused mess, but Egan's dazzling novel, which deservedly won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, jumps between characters and decades to create a hugely satisfying whole.
5 The Moment
By Douglas Kennedy
Shortly after travel writer Thomas Nesbitt signs his divorce papers, he receives a package from Petra, his German ex-girlfriend, which brings his thoughts back to his experiences in 1980s west Berlin. As an eager young writer he shared a flat with an elegantly wasted Anglo-Irish artist and fell in love with Petra, a translator for a pro-western radio station. But, like many things in cold-war Berlin, Petra is not all that she seems. Kennedy's 10th novel shouldn't disappoint his many fans.
6 Saints and Sinners
By Edna O'Brien
Although these stories by the grande dame of Irish letters visit London and New York, Irish society is still at the heart of O'Brien's work. Tangled relationships between mothers and daughters, family feuds that will never quite be resolved, the moral bankruptcy of a boom-time businessman: old and new versions of Ireland collide in these powerful tales.
7 A Monster Calls
By Patrick Ness
When the writer Siobhan Dowd died, in 2007, she left notes for an unwritten novel. The acclaimed young-adult author Patrick Ness (left) has taken Dowd's idea and turned it into a hugely powerful novel that has been wowing adults and younger readers alike. The story of a boy with a very sick mother who is regularly visited in the night by a terrible tree-like monster, it's a hugely powerful depiction of fear and grief, brilliantly illustrated by Jim Kay.
8 Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe
By Jenny Colgan
The frustrated woman opening her own cupcake emporium may now be a media cliche, but if anyone can turn it into something fresh it's Colgan, whose very funny books are proof that just because a book looks fluffy doesn't mean it's not smart. Armed with her baker grandfather's recipes (included in the book), former corporate drone Issy launches her cafe, but finds that being a cupcake queen isn't as easy as she'd hoped.
9 The Forgotten Waltz
By Anne Enright
The pleasingly unreliable narrator of Anne Enright's first novel since winning the Man Booker Prize for The Gathering is Gina Moynihan, a sophisticated young married woman in boom-time Dublin who starts an affair with a married man. Gina wilfully plays down the importance of Sean's relationship with his troubled young daughter, and Enright gives us both a devastatingly witty look at the rise and fall of the property market and an insightful, unsettling look at all-consuming desire.
10 The Fatal Touch
By Conor Fitzgerald
This is only the second Alec Blume novel by the Irish writer Conor Fitzgerald (pen-name of Conor Deane), but Blume, an American who has lived in Rome for years and is now a commissioner with the Italian police, has already won the devotion of many readers. When a notorious Irish art forger is murdered Blume discovers that senior policemen, including the belligerent Col Farinelli, don't seem keen to pursue the matter. Soon Blume is uncovering a dark world of corruption.
11 The Paris Wife
By Paula McLain
Hadley Richardson was Ernest Hemingway's first wife, his companion during the Moveable Feast years in 1920s Paris. McLain's novel retells the story of that period through Hadley's eyes, from the blissful romance of her early married life to the ultimate collapse of the relationship. You don't have to be a Hemingway fan to be drawn in by McLain's evocation of this fascinating world.
12 Unspoken
By Gerard Stembridge
Stembridge's third novel is a saga looking at the rapidly changing Ireland of the 1960s through a diverse group of characters, including the loving Strong family. As television exerts its modernising influence on the country, we also meet the politician Dom, a thinly disguised version of Donogh O'Malley, whose introduction of free secondary education at the end of the decade would transform Irish society.
13 The Dead Summer
By Helen Moorhouse
When Martha Armstrong moves to a remote Norfolk farmhouse with her baby after her bitter divorce, she finds her new home is anything but a rustic idyll. Many years ago the house was occupied by two Irish sisters with a tragic secret, and when things start to go bump in the night it seems that the house hasn't forgotten its past. The debut novel of this Dublin-based writer is a classic chiller.
14 A Death in Summer
By Benjamin Black
John Banville's crime-writing alter ego returns with another sophisticated slice of Irish noir. Set in 1956, it sees his protagonist, the pathologist Quirke, returning for the fourth time to investigate the murder of a newspaper magnate, Richard "Diamond Dick" Jewell, who is found with his head blown off in his Co Kildare estate. Quirke's sleuthing brings him into close contact not only with Diamond Dick's beautiful French widow, Françoise, but also with a shadowy orphanage with which Jewell was somehow connected.
15 The Tiger's Wife
By Téa Obreht
The youngest writer to win the Orange Prize for Fiction, the 25-year-old (below), in her debut novel, offers up a richly complex fable set in an unnamed part of the Balkans, where a young doctor called Natalia is treating children affected by a recent war. Natalia is determined to unravel the truth behind the stories her grandfather told her as a child, including one about a mysterious "deathless man" and another about a tiger who escaped from a zoo in 1941 and came to her grandfather's village.
16 You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
Romances don't come much sharper, smarter or more romantic than this story of Neve, who has always been seriously overweight and self-conscious. Now she's lost weight and is determined to win the heart of William, the boy she loved at college. So she asks bad-boy Max to show her how to have a relationship. Touching and witty, with a wonderfully snarky heroine who prefers Virago Modern Classics to Manolo Blahniks, it's a sweet story with an edge and genuine depth.
17 The Leopard
By Jo Nesbø
Harry Hole, the creation of Jo Nesbø (left), is the archetypal tormented detective. Struggling with gambling and drugs, and attempting to come to terms with the impending death of his father, he has fled to Hong Kong after yet another traumatic case. But then he's called back to Norway to investigate the horrible murders of two women who were staying in a remote mountain hotel. With no connection between the victims and not a single clue to follow, Hole is in trouble – and then yet another visitor to the hotel is murdered.
18 Carte Blanche
Following in the footsteps of the acclaimed novelist Sebastian Faulks, who was granted permission by Ian Fleming's estate to write the 2008 Bond novel Devil May Care, the American thriller writer Deaver takes on the world's most famous secret agent. This is no retro pastiche, though: the story, which sees 007 facing a sinister waste-management mogul, is firmly set in the present day, and Q has provided Bond with some thoroughly modern, app-filled gadgets. But some things, thankfully, never change: he still introduces himself as "Bond . . . James Bond".
19 Bullfighting
By Roddy Doyle
The characters in Doyle's collection of short stories are coming to terms with getting older – or at least trying to. It's a testament to Doyle's skill as a writer that, despite the ostensible similarities between his protagonists (they're all middle-aged men from ordinary backgrounds living in north Dublin suburbia), their voices remain distinct and their stories never feel bleak.
20 The Best of Everything
By Rona Jaffe
First published in 1958, this compulsively readable novel by Rona Jaffe (left) has been reissued by Penguin after its appearance in an episode of Mad Men. Its frank portrayal of four very different women working in the Manhattan publishing and theatre worlds in the 1950s caused a sensation when the book first appeared. Today's readers will enjoy Jaffe's evocative depiction of a society in which women could be labelled old maids at 25, as well as her perceptive characterisation and skilful storytelling.

HAMBURG, N.Y. -- Four drivers and a few horses are recovering after an accident on the track at Buffalo Raceway Friday night.
The Raceway's General Manager James Mango tells us a horse broke stride during a race, sending the drivers and horses to the ground.
The Raceway has ambulances on standby at the track, but called 911 since several people were hurt.
Mango says two drivers felt well enough to continue racing, but two went to ECMC.
On Saturday, Tim Bojarski, President of the Upstate New York Harness Writers Association, said that Jack Flanigen, one of the drivers, was treated and released from ECMC with no injuries other than overall soreness.
The other driver, Ray Fisher, spent the night at the hospital after being treated for two broken vertebrae and a fractured pelvis. In a statement released Saturday, Bojarski said that Fisher will not need surgery but will be out of commission for about five weeks.
"As bad as it looked, it turned out better than what most of us expected," said Bojarski.

Wednesday. The Middle of the week. A week where we are all totally not reeling from the devastatingly-predictable Academy Awards. An academy awards where a gay man beat a wrestler and Hollywood got outsourced in the best possible way. Here's some news from this week. Danny Boyle Buys houses for Slumdog Kids. AWESOME (/film)Really? Gondry? Green Hornet? Rogen Speaks (MTV)Amenabar's Epic AGORA In Trailer Form. With Rachel Weiss (Twitch)Avatar Shot on 197 Cameras. At the same time (Filmonic)
While Barack, AGAIN, takes over the TV waves to talk to Congress about stimulation, Animal Planet strikes gold with the premiere of Dark Days in Monkey City. Seriously, watch the preview–CGI and real monkeys starring in a fictional story with blood spraying everywhere and monkey rebellions against monkey empires. (!) Check out Stanky Snoop too, you know he's chayyyllllll. Your preview after the break. Seriously, I bet the NY Post is loving this line-up. Because they are racist jerks.
"I got you into this, and now I'm going to get you out." Sean tells his blonde mistress. She's in on the aide of Dubaku from the inside, and she looks a little stressed out. Sean assures her that he'll take care of it.
Parkman uses his powers to search through Noah's mind to discover exactly why Nathan is after them, uncovering some other information along the way, including the fact that a fallen hero may not have fallen so far after all. They also find out that Danko the Hunter has a far greater presence in HRG's past than anyone suspected, and that Noah's loyalties don't lie entirely with Nathan, but are still well within range of the Petrelli family. It's a Heroes that we've seen before in a lot of ways, but it offers up some nifty surprises in spite of its many shortcomings, and it's all after the jump.
Ok, I might have been a little harsh on this show in my review of the pilot. It seemed scattered and weak. But now having watched the second episode, which featured the introduction of Will Ferrell as a slick, fast-talking, package-tagging used car salesman, I'm going to change up my tune. This is the reason you never judge a show by it's first episode.
The Dillon Panthers reveled in another "W" this week, bringing their overall record to 4-1. On the home front, it was another eventful week down in Dillon, TX, full of relationship twists and plot turns. Jason Street almost gave up on his house-flipping project, JD McCoy was accepted as a member of the team, regardless of his age, and Matt and Julie Taylor finally officially got back together. This installment helped set the table for future episodes, providing valuable insight into the environment of Tyra Collette, and also introducing a rebound love-interest for Landry Clark. This is one of those rare moments when time cannot move quickly enough for Panther Nation to find out what happens next.
It's a bad sign when the more you think about an episode, the less you like it. Initially I was won over by the acting, especially Michael Hogan, but when I started to break it down, it turned out that the episode really didn't hang together. So I'm not sure if this recap does either.
We would like to thank all of our readers for joining us on this incredibly special night. Here are some final thoughts on the evening, particularly the dominance of Slumdog Millionaire. @Michael_bay: Highlight of the evening? My Hummer has Lamborghini doors.Philip Buster: It's clear: Oscars finally outsourced as economy crashes.Matt Sears: Mickey Rourke is gonna choke-slam someone at the Vanity Fair Party.Max Powers: The academy is cleary Lactose-Intolerant with their snub of 'Milk.'GOODNIGHT.

We firmly believe that the Oscars would benefit from adding a few wild-card categories every year. You know, mix it up. Keep it fresh. Here are a few possibilities, including nominees. If you have more, post them in the comments section. And don't forget to download your ballot and follow our Oscar liveblog HERE starting 8pm eastern, 5pm pacific this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Sunday.
Once again, I am faced with a deficit of TV recaps to post. Im temped to post rerunrecaps, but that would go against every principle of the internet. Luckily, there is a nice slew of morning news on this Friday, Feb 20th, the Year Of Our Lord, 2009.Screenjunkies Will Be Liveblogging the 2009 Oscars HERE. Slumpuppies Will Go To The Oscars (Filmdrunk)Twilight Two Has A New-New Title (MTV)Linda Hamilton To Crawl Out Of Cave, Voice Terminator Salvation (Filmonic)Mel Gibson To Crawl Out Of Cave, Yell About Jews (Pajiba)Early Buzz For Watchmen (/Film)
This rather lazy week of television continues with reruns of The Office and 30 Rock, or a whopping 4 hours of straight Frak on the SciFi. While there are some solid movies on (Part II of The Godfather on AMC, two screenings of Happy Gilmore on ABC Family, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls on CMT), tonight's preview will instead explore the awesome world of random TV. Your preview after the break.
Word on the internet street is that someone spilled the beans or opened the letters or whatever and published the Oscar winners. Im actually more interested in watching them just to see if the leaked list is actually legit. It's after the jump, so only click through if you are like me and the main reason you watch the ceremony is for all of those beautiful dresses and ad-hock Jack Black musical numbers, and not the suspense.
The episode opens with Jack, Hurley, and Kate meeting up on the island. We flash back to Eloise as she explains to Jack, Sun, and Desmond how the Dharma Initiative discovered the island, giving instructions to Jack to collect something that belonged to Christian to take back with Locke's body. There's no sign of the islanders in this episode, which is kind of disappointing because we still didn't get to find out what happened to Locke right after he righted the wheel, but there are some other pretty cool revelations, and it's all in another great Lost, right after the jump.
Wednesday means its time for a hump dump. There's a few things that have been happening, but nothing more earth-shattering that the death of Mickey Rourke's dog Loki. He was 18, and has been pawing on heaven's door for a while. TMZ had a very informative question and answer session with the actor while he chain smoked around other peoples dogs on the streets of NY. Here's the rest of your (poop) scoop.Screenjunkies is all UP in that Twitter. Follow us.Paul Dano Adopts An Asian Baby (Film School Rejects)
Another Wednesday, another brilliant episode of the labrynthian land of Lost. Also tonight, Demetri Martin examines the subject of 'power,' while Robert De Niro becomes a Godfather. One noteworthy tidbit-it's Conan O'Brien's last week before he gives Leno the boot, and not a moment too soon. Jimmy Fallon gets his shot at Conan's slot. Did that sound weird? Your TV preview after the break.
This is normally the time of day when I would publish all the TV recaps from previous night. But there really wasn't anything on, so no recappage. Instead, I thought I would take a moment to offer a bit of important info regarding a topic that will affect absolutely none of us. Yes, that's right. The conversion from analog to digital television signals that began to occur for many providers and stations last night. It is an historic occasion that future humans will see as one of the biggest leaps toward utter and compete domination at the hands of robots. Here is a very informative video that details the simple move from some sort of sine waves to some sort of ones and zeroes.
Unfortunately, TV is taking a longer than expected President's Day hiatus, leaving few good viewings for tonight's lineup. Scrubs has reruns for an hour, and at the time of this post, Fringe isn't back until for another 50 days, 2 hours, 31 minutes and 28 seconds. That's alright, just skee-daddle over to your local movie rental establishment and scope out some hot new releases. Your TV-less preview after the jump.
In the last ten years HBO has been responsible for some of the best series out there. The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under– those were all quality shows that demonstrated what the network did best: stellar storytelling with a serious edge. They have had some solid mini series in the last year with Generation Kill and John Adams that have continued this tradition. But with the exception of Flight Of The Concords, their new series have been a let down when compared to the legendary shows they've historically released. East Bound And Down is a clear reminder of this.
Claire and Noah experience some more family issues (surprise!), while Claire heads off to rescue a new hero from Nathan's clutches. Sylar and Luke continue on their supervillain road trip, Hiro and Ando stop a wedding in India, and Nathan has to deal with a too-inquisitive Homeland Security representative who wants to cut the funding for his little "project." It's all after the jump.
By now we've all put away our Rutherford B. Hays commemorative China sets and have set out for a nice four day week. There's not a lot of news happening this week in the world of Movies and TV. Unless you count 17 new Watchmen viral videos. Which I'm not posting. Here are your links.
The paramedics rush down to the basement of Dubaku's hideout. Henry Taylor is bloodied and barely able to move. Jack calls the President, "we have your husband, but he's taken a gunshot wound to the chest." He assures her that Dubaku has no other means of leverage, and that he's on the way out of the country (yeah right). Although there's a lot !@#$ going down in the Oval Office, the Pres. decides to go be at her husband's side. Buchanan gets some serious security clearance from the Pres. "Whatever it takes, I want that sonuvabitch found!"Dubaku visits his girl Marika at her diner, and he reveals that he's an illegal who needs to get the hell out of dodge. He tells her that they have tickets ready to go, and that Marika's sister will join them in a few days. Dubaku asks, "say you'll come…"–"…I'll get my things." He calls his sketchy travel agent/possible CIA insider to arrange a meetup so he can get his tickets back to Sangala.
This week's episode begins with a cranky priest in his parish. It is closing time for his church's homeless shelter and he begrudgingly finishes his duties and retires to his room in the back of the church. He drinks and smokes and also looks exhausted. He hears the doorbell ring one more time and when he gets up to answer it, he finds a post-crucifixion Jesus hovering at his door. At first he thinks someone is playing a trick on him but he realizes this apparition of Jesus is completely real. He is hallucinating. Cuddy wants House to go to her daughter's Zeved habat: a Jewish baby naming ceremony. He doesn't want to go, but Cuddy is persuasive and persistent. House tells Cuddy he will get back to her. He seems confused as to why she would ask him to go. House browses through the files in Cameron's ER ward. He finds the file of a hallucinating priest and wants to take on the case. Cameron doesn't have any idea what is wrong with him, and thinks it is something simple. House decides to take the case.
Slammin' Sammy Meade here welcoming you back to another week of Panther football and Friday Night Lights. This was a tremendously eventful installment, with several setups for plot twists; it's about as easy to read this show as trying to pick up a Smash Williams counter. There was good news and bad news on all fronts. Matt Saracen was replaced at quarterback, and he almost quit the team. Jason Street became a new father, and he, the Riggins brothers, and Herc decided to get into the real business by flipping Buddy Garrity's house. And Tyra walked a slippery slope with her new cowboy boyfriend. There are many ways in which the writers could take this season, and each direction looks just as exciting as the others.
All of this has been confusing before, and all of this will be confusing again.Instead of the previouslies, we begin with yet another new prologue, and as is apropos for this show, it's all cycling back to the beginning. The question is, as you'll see, "what, exactly is the beginning?" Weirdly enough, I actually think that we find out.It's the familiar white lettering on the black background:THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED BEFOREAND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAINA shot of Earth.

With a bullet lodged in the flesh beside her femoral artery, a deluded Sarah Connor struggles to live. Kyle Reese is present as a ghost in her delirium, urging her to push on. John anxiously awaits news regarding his girlfriend's recovery, and Derek starts some fires in an attempt to cover Sarah's tracks. G.S.W. This episode begins with a wounded Sarah Connor waking in a hospital bed. She looks up and sees a ghost: the long-dead father of her son. "On your feet," Kyle Reese commands. After inspecting her Gun-Shot Wound, Sarah pulls the IV-tube from her arm, tries to stand, and falters. Kyle moves in, puts out his hand, and utters the words that have tingled the spines of Terminator fans for twenty years: "Come with me if you want to live." And because it is what we have come to expect of her, she takes Kyle's hand. It looks like she wants to live… After rendering hospital security unconscious, Sarah begins to limp through the hallways speaking to someone only she can see.
ooooOOOOOoooo Friday the 13th. Car crashes go up by 50%, hobos get extra brazen, and Jason might come around from any corner and hack you to pieces–staying indoors and watching TV is highly reccommended. Tonight's lineup is spectacular, and as I've stated before, is easily the most underrated night of TV. Especially with the return of Terminator:TSCC and the premiere of Dollhouse. If you have to go outside, keep that shifty eyed look going for any black cats and full moons. Your preview after the jump.
There is one scene in this movie that makes it worth watching. It involves Clive Owen following an assassin into the Guggenheim Museum in NY. There are dudes with Uzis and shattered glass and screaming tourists and spurting arterial blood. The rest of the movie has none of these things, and is totally confusing, right down to the last scene. But it might be your best bet on a weekend where Chick Flicks are out in force. Beware: there is a giant conspiracy, and it wants YOU to see crappy movies.
Director: Tom Tykwer Cast: Clive Owen, Naomi Watts, Jack McGee, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Ulrich Thomsen Synopsis: In The International, a gripping thriller, Interpol Agent Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts) are determined to bring to justice one of the world's most powerful banks.

East Java
East Java
East Java might be the least populated area in Java island, but its charm and unique terrain will captivate its visitors. Capital of East Java province, Surabaya, is a cosmopolitan city and you can find any comfortable surroundings and facilities there. However within a short trip you might be tempted to enjoy the natural charms such as climbing Mt. Bromo and enjoying fabulous sunrise there or probably trying to conquer Mount Semeru, the highest mountain in Java (about 3676 meters above sea level).
Some parks are available for those who prefer natural surroundings. An island on the eastern part of Java called Madura is also famous for its distinct culture and bull races of karapan sapi, usually held in August and September every year.
The Majapahit Dynasty, based in and arround East java, began the foundations of an empire that was to dominate the entire Indonesian archipelago, the Malay Peninsula and part of the Philippines for hundreds of years. This was the beginning of profitable trade relations with China, Cambodia, Siam, Burma and Vietnam. As the power in Central Java declined in the 10th century, powerful kingdoms rose in East Java to fill the power vacuum. During the reign of King Erlangga, both East Java and Bali enjoyed lucrative trade with the surrounding islands, and an artistic and intellectual renaissance. Part of the Mahabarata epic were translated and re-interpreted to conform to an East Javanese philosophy and view of life, and it was from this area that East Java inherited most of its temple art.
The province is efficiently connected to the rest of Java by good roads, regular trains, and air service between Surabaya and other major cities in the country including Denpasar on Bali, which only takes about half an hour.
People & Culture
East Javanese are known for their outspoken manner and loud voice. They are the type who would talk to strangers and help them if need be. They tend to be frank and enjoy a good conversation.
East Javanese people love to eat and you can enjoy various dishes while you're around. From sea food variety to beef and chicken, each dish is cooked lovingly and with great care. Make sure to try soto Madura (chicken soup Maduran style) and sate Madura (roasted skewered chicken with tasty peanut sauce) and avoid the sambal or chili if you're not into spicy food.

Romney's loss closes out 'Mormon moment'
Mitt Romney's defeat appears to close out a years-long "Mormon moment," a period of national fascination with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
It has also provoked Mormon disappointment; Romney would have been first Latter-day Saint in the White House, culminating a decades-long process of growing Mormon acceptance and influence.
But prominent Mormons and religion experts say Mormons should be heartened that Romney's candidacy appeared to help mainstream the relatively young faith, which was founded in 1830 in upstate New York.
"Part of the Mormon moment was curiosity and much of that curiosity has been satisfied," said John Green, professor of political science at the University of Akron.
"There will always be people who disagree with them," Green said, "but the sense is that this community is part of the broad middle of American society."
As stories about the LDS Church graced the covers of magazines and front pages of newspapers, the church's press office was working overtime to answer questions from around the globe. A church that prefers to keep private became very public.
"Without question there has been an increase in interest in the Church over the past several years," church spokesman Michael Purdy told CNN. "Although there have been exceptions, this attention has given people the opportunity to know who we are and what we believe."
It also meant more publicity for aspects of the church that many Mormons would prefer not dwell on, like the church's onetime practice of polygamy (the church banned the practice more than 100 years ago) and its denial of the priesthood to black members until the late 1970s.
But even the uncomfortable questions were good for the church, said Richard Bushman, a Mormon scholar who has served as a local Mormon leader.
"So long as those objections and criticisms were kept under wraps, they just sort of festered there," Bushman said. "Getting them out in the open where people could speak candidly, that in a way clears the atmosphere."
Coverage of Mormonism also led to some level of misinformation. One example: On the TV show "The View," on October 18, 2012, Whoopi Goldberg asked Ann Romney, Mitt Romney's wife, about how she would relate to soldiers.
"As first lady, if you get the job, it's going to entail a lot of things, and one of those things is going to be talking to the mothers whose children are coming home in bags, you know, from wars," Goldberg said. "Now, I know - I believe that your religion doesn't allow you to go fight."
Goldberg was wrong. Mormons are actually known to enlist in the military at higher levels than others. "No, that's not correct," Ann Romney told Goldberg. "We have many, many members of our faith that are serving in armed services."
Purdy, the church spokesman, says such exchanges were ultimately beneficial.
"A good deal of misinformation has been replaced with a more accurate picture of the Church, its doctrines, and its members across the world," Purdy said. "That is a good thing for all involved and we look forward to these opportunities continuing."
But with Romney's loss, interest in Mormonism is expected to dwindle. Joanna Brooks, a well known Mormon blogger and author says it's only a mater of time until that interest returns.
"There have been many Mormon moments, and there will be many more to come," she said. "Mormonism remains a vibrant and distinctive force on the American religious landscape, and as a young religion with a new global reach, the Mormon story is still unfolding."
The last Mormon moment, she said, was a good one: "This is a moment in which the nation proved that it was capable of having a discussion about candidates and platforms without openly subjecting either candidate to a religious test."
Though Romney's faith garnered plenty of coverage - from Time's cover story "The Mormon Identity," to New York Magazine's "Where is the Mormonism in Mitt Romney?," - neither the campaigns nor outside groups made much, if any, mention of it.
Romney's bid seemed to improve relations between Mormons and evangelical Christians, many of whom have long seen the LDS Church as a cult. In May, Romney spoke at Liberty University, founded by Jerry Falwell.
Weeks before the election, too, the Rev. Billy Graham met with Romney for the first time removed "Mormonism" from a section of his website devoted to cults.
"The Billy Graham business, for me that was symbolic that evangelicals instead of just dismissing Mormonism, (they) now need to talk a little more about what they mean," Bushman said.
According to exit polls on Tuesday, 79% of white evangelical Christians voted for Mitt Romney in 2012. That's an even higher share of the white evangelical vote than John McCain got in 2008, when he
was the Republican presidential nominee.
"From the point of view of religious tolerance and acceptance, there were some really positive trends," Green said. "It does suggest that the path towards greater religious tolerance has continued."
Green raised the subject with his students after Tuesday's election. At the end of the conversation, Green said one non-Mormon student's comment encapsulated the strides Mormonism made in the last year.
"They aren't any stranger," the student joked, "than anyone else."

|LETTER: Thank you from Tommy Klutz
|Written by Tommy Klutz
|Wednesday, 06 November 2013 14:44
On Nov. 6, GoBlueRidge.net received the following letter from Tommy Klutz, former candidate for the Blowing Rock Town Council. Klutz lost his seat on the Blowing Rock Town Council in the Nov. 5 election.

The USU Eastern womens basketball team played back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday with the outcomes of each game being almost a mirror opposite of each other.
The Lady Eagles faced off against the East Idaho All-Stars for two games before heading into their last break before Scenic West Athletic Conference play begins Jan. 6.
In the first game, the Lady Eagles jumped out to a six point lead over the All-Stars at halftime 38-32, thanks to a 65 percent shooting effort.
But the second half was a different story as the All-Stars began putting together a run while Eastern was unable to convert on a number of possessions. The All-Stars outscored Eastern 40-26 in the second half en route to a 72-62 win. Eastern shot just 25 percent (6-of-24) in the second half and finished with 29 turnovers in the game.
In their second game on Friday, it was the All-Stars who sprinted out to a seven point lead at the half, 32-25. But in the second half, Eastern began to establish a rhythm offensively shooting 56 percent (18-of-32) and outscoring the All-Stars 47-30 on their way to a 72-62 win to finish with a split.
Eastern's margin of victory might have been bigger if not for their poor performance at the free-throw line (12-of-26).
Priscila Santos led Eastern averaging 30 points per game. Hailee Perry and Abbi Kay each had notable performances.
The Eastern women (8-7) will begin conference play on Friday, Jan. 6 against Colorado Northwestern Community College at the B-DAC at 5:30 p.m.

WEST CARTHAGE Area residents happy about not paying more in school taxes this year might not want to get used to it.
As more and more districts make layoffs to close budget gaps, some Carthage Central School District Board of Education members voiced concerns about not increasing taxes, saying it could lead the district toward financial insolvency.
At last years budget hearing, some residents complained about the 1 percent tax levy hike for the current years budget. For next year, there is no increase in the tax levy.
As you all know, Im concerned about going out at a zero, board Vice President Lori D. Miller said at the April 22 meeting at the high school. She said she thinks it would be irresponsible of the board if it didnt inform the public that this is not how its going to be every year.
We dont know how long our reserves are going to last, Mrs. Miller said.
The board that night adopted the $55,050,712 budget for the 2013-14 school year. The plan has a $2,077,743, or 3.9 percent, increase from the current years $52,972,969 budget.
Our retirement benefits went up a million dollars and were absorbing that, Mrs. Miller said.
Board member Kent D. Burto said that the time to bring up such concerns is not minutes before the board needs to adopt the budget.
If you dont want to go along with it, dont go along with it, Mr. Burto said.
He said the levy was decided by the districts budget committee. He said that going forward, he would like to see more discussion on school staffing.
Im concerned about the process, said board member Mary Louise Hunt. I dont know how to change it. Just because weve done it this way for a while doesnt mean we need to stick to this way.
She said the board should look at how other districts create and discuss their budgets.
Board President Barbara A. Lofink said that, like Mrs. Miller, she worries when she hears about other schools closing their budget gaps by cutting programs and staff.
What we dont want to do is deplete our fund balance to the point that we cant replenish it, she said.
However, board member Joseph A. Colangelo said he would not feel right raising taxes as long as the board has enough money to keep them down.
Is it fair to tax the community when we have $9 million sitting in there? he said.
Superintendent Peter J. Turner who in past board meetings recommended the tax levy stay flat said Business Manager Amy M. Marrocco would need to comment as to the status of the districts finances. However, she was not available Friday for comment.

He has improved enough in his 2nd season at AAA that he warrants a longer look than September call-ups allow. There is an opportunity here the Orioles are going to miss and be forced to go into free agency with big questions about the top of the order again. Why do that when a cheap solution might be given the experience he needs to thrive in that roll?
I compare our situation with the Yankees and Gardner. They went with him out of necessity and found a capable player. We should be doing the same. Nolan is not good enough to be a starting outfielder with DH should be his primary roll (and he should be taking ABs away from Vlad). This goes for using PIe too except in rare circumstances. Go with the guys with a future in 2012.
Jordan wrote:100% agree. I don't think people realize that with Angle's defense, along with a solid .330-.340 OBP and 30+ SBs he is a very valuable player.
I would also give Kyle Hudson a look with his recent hot streak in mind.
Who has a better arm? Angle or Hudson?

With his defense, patient approach, sound hitting fundamentals, and playable speed that would conceivably allow him to bunt for hits and steal bases at the ML level would make him a massive upgrade over Pie/Reimold. It's the little things that make this team as bad as it is and starting Angle would be a step in the right direction.
Jordan wrote:Great point. After watching the Pie and Jones miscues over the past few days, fans would love having a guy like Angle who just does everything right

in your opinion, how much does angle's absolute lack of power negate his ability to get on base at the major league level?

Who Moved My Cheese?by Spencer Johnson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With Who Moved My Cheese? Dr. Spencer Johnson realizes the need for finding the language and tools to deal with change--an issue that makes all of us nervous and uncomfortable.
Most people are fearful of change because they don't believe they have any control over how or when it happens to them. Since change happens either to the individual or by the individual, Spencer Johnson shows us that what matters most is the attitude we have about change.
When the Y2K panic gripped the corporate realm before the new millenium, most work environments finally recognized the urgent need to get their computers and other business systems up to speed and able to deal with unprecedented change. And businesses realized that this was not enough: they needed to help people get ready, too.
Spencer Johnson has created his new book to do just that. The coauthor of the multimillion bestseller The One Minute Manager has written a deceptively simple story with a dramatically important message that can radically alter the way we cope with change. Who Moved My Cheese? allows for common themes to become topics for discussion and individual interpretation.
Who Moved My Cheese? takes the fear and anxiety out of managing the future and shows people a simple way to successfully deal with the changing times, providing them with a method for moving ahead with their work and lives safely and effectively.
From one of the world's most recognized experts on management comes a simple parable filled with insights designed to help readers manage change quickly and prevail in changing times. Written for all ages, the story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime.

If you're concerned about breast cancer, you may be wondering if there are steps you can take toward breast cancer prevention. Some risk factors, such as family history, can't be changed. However, there are lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk.
Lifestyle changes have been shown in studies to decrease breast cancer risk even in high-risk women. The following are steps you can take to lower your risk:
Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables hasn't been consistently shown to offer protection from breast cancer. In addition, a low-fat diet appears to offer only a slight reduction in the risk of breast cancer.
However, eating a healthy diet may decrease your risk of other types of cancer, as well as diabetes, heart disease and stroke. A healthy diet can also help you maintain a healthy weight — a key factor in breast cancer prevention.

By By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Three years ago my wife pointed out that we needed a new washer and dryer. For years she had suffered with used appliances that we could pick up for a bargain, some of which had lasted as much as two years before clunking out.
Not long after that I found a deal for a new set at one of our local stores and took her there to see them.
"This set includes the new front loading washer technology," stated the tag on the front of the washer. She was excited and so we bought them.
"This washer will be very different to use than the old one," she told me as we hauled it to our house with my truck. "You can't do what you did in the past when washing clothes."
"Oh great," I thought to myself. Another thing to learn. Wasn't it bad enough that my kids had made me learn to text, that the new flat screen television I had bought a few months before had 112 channels instead of five and my wifes new car could be started without a key? All this new technology around me and now I have to deal with a washer that included new operating instructions too.
"You just can't glop stuff in the tank and expect it to turn out clean and looking good,"
she continued, knowing my propensity for using the "glug" system of measurement on everything I do, including washing clothes.
When we got home I unloaded the machines and removed the old ones from their former place of employment. They would now rest in the junk yard at the back of my property until I could either find a good use for them or they rotted away.
The new machines were the stackable kind so I put them where the old dryer had been. That left some room on the other side and of course we immediately found a way to fill that space up.
My wife tried them out and they worked fine. She kept trying to train me to use the new washer, but I kept giving her excuses when she would approach me such as "I have to go to the office and work on that special that is coming up so I don't have time today" or "You know the hinge is coming off the garage door and I need to fix it right now." There were always a million excuses why I couldn't learn about the new washing machine.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not a dinosaur about learning new technology, but when I don't see the use in it it is hard for me to commit. The dryer was easy and I could figure that out on my own. Therefore I rationalized that she may wash the clothes but I could put them in the dryer, therefore doing my part.
I can see all you women out there shaking your head about my reasoning on this.
The problem is that I often feel like an idiot when it comes to this stuff. No man likes to admit that he doesn't know something, and I have had to eat proverbial crow too many times in my life. I didn't want to try to learn something and then flub it up. There is nothing like failing at something as simple as washing the clothes in a new washer to make me feel shorter than I already am.
Finally though, I had to face the music. She had gone away for a few days to my sons house during the holidays to take care of grand kids in an emergency and there I stood with a large load of laundry flowing out of the top of the hamper in our closet. I needed some clean pants and there weren't any.
I thought about going down and just buying a couple of pair at the store, but worse than flubbing something up is being chicken. I would rather be a flubber than a chicken.
So I called her. I can't remember her exact words and all the details but it was something like "Just don't glug the detergent in, measure."
However she didn't mention measuring the bleach.
Needless to say, some blue jeans turned out like they came out of the 1970s with the white patches all over them.
I dried them and hid them away. I then went to the store and bought some new jeans.
She returned a few days later.
"New Levis I see," she said. "Where are the old ones."
"I guess they are in the dirty clothes," I fibbed in a vain attempt to hide my ignorance of actually operating the washer correctly.
"So why did you buy new ones," she asked.
"Well I saw a deal on them, two for one," I said scrambling to get out of the hole I was continuing to create with my lies.
"Hmm..." she mumbled. "Funny, I just went through the dirty clothes basket and there were no Levis in there."
I hung my head in shame, as if I was standing in front of St. Peter at the gate to heaven and had just told him an untruth that he had uncovered. He has nothing on my wife. She is very good at uncovering the truth. I should hire her as an investigative reporter.
"Okay," I admitted. "They are stuffed under the back seat of the flatbed truck.
She smiled.
"Now why would you put them there?" she asked. "Is it that they no longer look like the Levis you once had?"
I shook my head up and down.
"You used the glug system, didn't you?"
I shook my head, up and down again.
She then shook her head but in the other direction and not another thing was said about it.
She has since stopped trying to teach me about the washer, just like she has never pursued teaching me how to iron clothes after I burnt myself or bake bread after I exploded a loaf all over the kitchen.
I am hopeless. Why she keeps me around I don't know other than the fact that I do a very good job of cleaning out dog runs and changing the cat box in the basement.
My friends and associates all know about me and my ability to really mess certain things up. They often refer to my wife as a saint, because of what she has to put up with.
All I know is that somehow she sticks with me despite my temperament, my tantrums and my inability to grasp certain aspects of daily living.
So I get a nice holiday present every year about this time. It is the fact that she still hangs around despite my shortcomings.

Please note that the LodeStar Journal has now moved to http://lodestarlearn.wordpress.com/ The journal has been updated to reflect the new practices and techniques of the upcoming LodeStar 7 Lite. LodeStar Learning is preparing for the transition to LodeStar 7. We are in the process of redesigning all of our tutorials, journal articles and example pages to explore all of the new capabilities of the LodeStar 7 Lite interface.
Tutorials are available at http://lodestarhelp.wordpress.com//Here is the official announcement that appeared in the journal before it was suspended:
By Robert "Bob" Bilyk
Look to the northern sky in late fall. You will see the sudden brightening of a new star called LodeStar 7. We originally called this project LodeStar Nova. A nova happens when two stars are close together in a binary system and one star pulls material from its companion star. LodeStar 7 Lite is the envisioning of a whole new product but one that borrows from the successes and capabilities of its parent star.
The official product name is LodeStar 7 Lite. Immediately after Ignite Minnesota 2013, a regional Desire2Learn conference, work began on LodeStar 7 Lite, the complete redesign of LodeStar. LodeStar's foundation was initially designed in 2001 and then cosmetically reworked in 2003. Because of its design we have been able to evolve rapidly as technology evolved. We began by supporting Java applets, and then created a better student experience by producing Flash objects and, later, HTML 5 and eBooks.
Twelve years of experience has also given us a lot of feedback on what works and doesn't work for both instructors and students. With that experience, we know what LodeStar can do well and what it can't do well. We know from recent feedback, for example, that LodeStar's branching capabilities are powerful but instructors need a way to visualize the branches. We know that LodeStar must integrate better with new media and new interoperability standards. And we've always known that LodeStar needs to be accessible not only in its output (the learning objects) but on the authoring side as well.
So with that challenge in mind, we began to build LodeStar 7 and are nearly complete. To get the latest updates, join us on Facebook at address below. We've always promised something special to our Facebook followers. You will be the first to download the alpha and beta versions. You'll get a free license. You will get a chance to comment and give us feedback. Alpha, beta and even the gold releases won't have all of the functionality of LodeStar 6. It will, however, do things better and in a more intuitive, integrated way. That is why we call the product LodeStar Lite. Despite the reduced functionality (e.g. initially, no drawing), we think you'll love it and will find it very useful.
Tell your colleagues to join us on in Facebook if they would like the same opportunity extended to them. We need all of the support from our community that we can get.

My question is about the verb "to sift". I know that I can sift flour, cocoa powder and all sorts of solid cooking ingredients. My question is: Can I sift liquids? Let's say I make some homemade orange juice and want to take the pulp out of it. Do I sift my juice? If I don't, what do I do to it? Help me! : )

Being sure I'd heard it before, I Googled "sift the juice". And there are lots of examples. Quoting from the first one:
"Peel and slice golden pippins, according to what quantity of jelly is required ; boil them to a marmalade with a little water, and a lemon sliced, and sift the juice ..."

"If people make mistakes on the Internet, Google will find them."
Similarly, the internet allows the uninformed and lazy to wander in. For the not-too-lazy my google shows that many educated writers in English have used "sift the juice". But, if it's all too much for you, don't strain yourself.

Please repeat after me:
I Do Not Sift Juice! I Will Not Sift Juice! I Have Never Sifted Juice! :-)
You can filter the pulp out. You could possibly strain, but that is reserved for cases when you start with a thicker mash. If you started with a thick mash of crushed tomato or pineapple, you would strain out the juice.
But if it a liquid with a little bit of pulp, you filter.

Few businesses affect the public to the degree that newspapers do. Last week was National Newspaper Week and I thought several times about the role that community journalism plays in the community it serves.
True community journalism has been defined as the style of intensely local-first coverage provided by small newspapers. The American Society of Newspaper Editors draws the line between large and small newspapers at the 50,000 circulation mark. That means there are about 1533 small daily newspapers and almost 7,400 weeklies in America.
Using this as a benchmark all but just a couple newspapers in Utah are considered small and with so many rural counties with small populations taking of the majority of Utah's geography. Like other western states, communities are served by weekly community newspapers.
When you find a newspaper that concentrates on local coverage, has a tone that is positive and supportive, and also strives to find solutions to community issues, you have found a newspaper that practices community journalism.
Community journalism is the belief that newspapers have an obligation that goes beyond just telling the news or unloading facts. Journalism can help empower a community or it can help disable it. In small towns like Price or Helper, our local newspaper is one of the links that connects people. It is one of the ways the community is maintained. It is part of the local discussion on issues that concern the community.
Last week as I reflected National Newspaper Week it took me back to 1976 when I was just a kid, mid-20's and I went to work for my first newspaper in rural eastern Montana. The editor for that newspaper was retiring after 40-plus years and because of health she had not been able to leave the office in over 10 years to cover a story. I was young and full of energy and began covering events, taking photos and writing stories from all corners of the county. Little did I realize at the time but I was practicing community journalism. I got involved with the Jaycees and city council, I attended the football games and covered events and celebrations like they had never been covered before.
In small communities I know that the publisher or reporters are recognized on the street. The people at the newspaper belong to the same organizations and churches as the rest of the community. There is an accessibility and interactive quality that makes the newspaper a community resource.
But because newspapers cover people and activities, they also cover things some people don't want to see. I am still appalled that three of our schools in the county do not want the Sun Advocate delivered free to their school because many children's parents from these communities are sometimes listed in the court news and jail bookings. That's a fine example of denying children the right to read their local newspaper while continuing to hide dysfunction in the community.
We hear from people all the time with ideas and suggestions on how to improve the newspaper and we feel we have made many improvements and changes in the past couple years. We have to ask ourselves questions about what we do. In today's world where people are constantly bombarded with information, where does our community newspaper fit in the hearts and minds of the people? What do citizens think and feel about various issues? How do people perceive our role in the community and in their day-to-day lives?
Today, more than ever before, newspapers have to connect with readers and advertisers, bringing relevance and value to their day-to-day lives. Right now we are hearing from you that we need people-centered news and that is presently at the top of our list.
To do this we need you, the reader to give your input and opinions. It is our goal to deliver solid community news and information.
