Abstract:
In January, 2005, the sale of the 50,000-circulation Durham daily, The Herald-Sun, to the Paxton Media Group of Paducah, KY was completed. Paxton owns twenty-eight other newspapers around the nation with an average circulation of 30,000. On the day the sale was completed, Paxton Media fired and escorted to the parking lot members of the Herlad-Sun's staff, starting with the paper's publisher and president. Approximately eighty positions were eliminated. Gray discusses the takeover; the emphasis given to the firings and takeover by the Raleigh News and Observer and Durham's Independent Weekly and whether the emphasis was justified or not; and what the new ownership will mean to the Durham Herlad-Sun and its readers.

Abstract:
Public interest in weight loss is soaring. In Durham are three nationally known weight-loss clinics--Rice Diet Program LLC, Structure House Inc., and Duke University's Diet and Fitness Center. Each year around 3,000 dieters come to Durham from across the country and around the world. More participants could be accepted, but program directors say expansion would hurt their ability to serve their patients. Dieters contribute about $30 million to Durham's economy through fees that the programs charge, hotel rooms rented for weeks or months, and purchases from local retailers. Gray discusses the different diet programs.
