20 years on the air for `48 Hours'
This past Saturday's episode, "Who Killed the Beauty Queen?," tried to solve the murder of a former Miss Arkansas contestant bludgeoned to death in her apartment in 2005. The show's mystery lineup is necessary to stay alive while competing against entertainment programs, Zirinsky said. No newsmagazine not named "60 Minutes" entices viewers now on the promise of learning something new - just like fewer people read newspapers for the unexpected, she said. People want to know what they're getting. That's one factor in the demise of TV newsmagazines, she said. "So much news is consumed in an individual way," she said. "To get somebody's attention, to get them to commit to you, you have to be unique." When not shooting crime stories, the "48 Hours" team has evolved into CBS News utility players, springing into action when big stories deserve more attention.
Some councillors revved up over free pubic transit service
Is Hamilton ready to provide free transit to residents? Ward 4 Councillor Sam Merulla thinks so. Mr. Merulla authored a motion last week which was accepted by his council colleagues that asked city staff to investigate implementing a free fare or a small fee only public transit service. Mr. Merulla was the lone politician who opposed council's recent decision to increase bus fares for the second time in less than a year. "God bless Sam," said Hamilton Mountain councillor Terry Whitehead. "This is a vision. I think you will see free transit in Hamilton. It makes a lot of sense to reduce gridlock and improve the environment." Mr. Merulla pointed out reducing bus fares encourages more people to get out of their vehicles, which, in turn, cuts pollution and overall improves the environment.

Saints 2-3 QPR
The QPR keeper's ball out was then intercepted and Saints found themselves with three players in behind and just Camp to beat. Jason Euell had the ball on the right and quickly squared to Stern John who just had to side foot home from the penalty spot but skied his effort so far over the bar. Camp was in action again three minutes later when he palmed away Andrew Davies' header from a corner. And predictably Saints were made to pay for their wastefulness when QPR equalised on 38 minutes. Rowan Vine charged past several despairing tackles and fed in Rowlands who finished low past the advancing Davis inside the area for 1-1. And it got worse just before half time when QPR took the lead. Damien Delaney put in a deep cross from the right, Patrick Agyemang had peeled off to the far post and in behind left back Jermaine Wright and side footed low past Davis from the edge of six yard box for 2-1.
