Partygoers find renewed meaning in holidays
Saturday, December 22 at the Brick Elks Lodge 2152 celebrating the birth of
Jesus topped the list of paying homage. Instead of the more popular getting
presents and money, the party was payback to the members who volunteer.
The party was for Elks children and grandchildren. Food, Entertainment and
Santa Clause were available there. The Elks basically help people by donation
things such as wheelchairs, canes, and walkers for handicapped kids. They also
give food during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last month they even had a party
for veterans. All together the Elks are a pretty nice organization of caring people.
Bush expected to seek 15 billion more to beef up domestic security
Our President George Bush is planning to get 15 billion dollars for his 2003
budget. This money will account for police officers to baggage screening
equipment. It may also include new communication equipment so hospitals can
react faster if another terrorist attack were to happen. Congress wanted to spend
20 billion for security in its 2002 plan, they even had it approved. Except
approximately half of that money was used before the September 11th attacks.
After the state of Union Address to Congress in January the president will release
his 2003 budget plan.
Dress up yogurt without adding fat
Yogurts with the labels "nonfat" and "low fat" are all good for you when you
want to make some cut backs on what you eat. But you see there are still catches
to eating all of these. Yogurt like many other foods doesn't just contain the fruits
posted on the cover. Companies add many chemicals and concoctions used to
make the yogurt taste better. This is basically like mixing the fruits and then
adding 7 teaspoons of sugar. Which can double the calories. They also add
sweeteners and even artificial coloring. If you have tried nonfat or low fat
yogurts then you know how terrible they taste. There is an alternative of course.
What you can do is cut up your own fruits and put them in the yogurt to bring
some real flavor back. Which will keep it healthy and make it tasty.

Everyone watches the news but does that mean we have to trust them? The media is known for giving us verified information that is usually observed and /or proven. Most people get their information about current events from the news media because it would be impossible to gather all the news themselves. Television news is extremely important in the United States because more people get their news from television broadcasts than from any other source. Print media is the oldest form of media but is
Ourselves to Death, by Neil Postman, ?the news of the day? is viewed as ?a figment of our technological imagination? (7-8). He states that without the media to broadcast the events that take place daily, there would not be the concept of ?the news of the day? (7). Postman says that the news only exists because of our advanced systems of communication, making it possible for us to report the news to the public as it happens. Without these methods and tools, news would not exist the way it does. This is
Comparing The Chorus of Sophocles' Antigone and America's News Channels The Greek Chorus is very similar to America's news channels because it brings the people the news in a way that they can understand it. The play Antigone by Sophocles is a tragic drama structured around the argument between a king and two sisters about the burial of their brother. Antigone can be compared to the conflict surrounding granting illegal immigrants amnesty. The Chorus is a group of people who provide background

News Broadcasting On April 7, 1997, I watched NBC 5 News at 6. Warner Saunders (filling in for Ron Majors) and Carol Marin were co-anchors. Because I do not usually watch the news, I found myself seeing it with fresh eyes. For instance, I never before realized how little time is spent on each story within a 30-minute newscast. I knew they were brief, but I didn't know just how brief they were. The story lengths were from 20 seconds to three-and-a-half minutes. Watching the newscast from a critical
Entertainment and News News coverage, whether by television, radio, the internet, or newspaper must be selective, selective not simply in which stories it reports but in how it presents them as well. The media is incapable of providing a rundown of everything that has transpired in a day. Therefore, editors, reporters, etc… decide what will go into the reports. Equally important, reporters are still human beings who, in spite their good intentions, occasionally succumb to anger, jealousy,

And this, as it turns out, suggests where the Web is heading.” News environments are rapidly changing to adapt with
Free News in a Linked World We usually classify communication media in three categories: published media, broadcast media and what Chris Chesher calls “invocational media”.1 The published media include newspapers, magazines and books.

The New York New Music Ensemble began with a bang, literally. This ensemble has been around for twenty-three years and it is considered to be “the raising standard” in contemporary chamber music. On Thursday afternoon, I saw the ensemble perform three pieces: Trio, Nutturno, and Marxville Songbook. These three possess very similar tone color and composition. The ensemble’s first piece, Trio, was composed by Donald Martino. This musician pursued his interest in music at a very young age. By age fifteen
