The story is almost 2,000 years old. Yet, each year, it becomes new again as churches and other groups stage Lenten dramas depicting Jesus' final days on earth and his resurrection.
You wonder, sometimes, why the guy who can barely play his instrument is the one up on the stage, throngs of adoring females at his feet, banks of uber-expensive amplifiers at his back, tortured grimaces doing battle with exaggerated pouts on his face. Folks like this are a dime a truckload. Very few of them add anything new to the grand lexicon of guitar playing. A perfect example smacked me right in the face earlier this week, while I was enduring Nickelback's performance at HSBC Arena. The sheer inanity of it all, the unflinching embracing of every cliche known to rock guitar, and the implication that the lowest common denominator is more than good enough -- these depressed me almost as much as did the manner in which the crowd received them, as if they were manna ...
KEENE, N.H. -- No matter that his critics call him robotic and somewhat dull. Republican Mitt Romney said he'll keep campaigning as he has to unseat President Obama in 2012, and insists he can show voters he's passionate about doing that. I'm following the strategy I've had and that we've laid out from the very beginning," he said. "If you're running for president, your focus should be on the person who is president and his failures and how you're going to make America better.
The postseason is the most exciting time of the year in high school football, and both the Mater Dei Wildcats and Reitz Panthers had heart-pounding finishes in their regional championship games last week. A late defensive stand clinched Mater Dei's 21-14 victory at Batesville in the Class 3A regional final. The Wildcats will host Indianapolis Chatard in the semistate tonight. Reitz led 28-14 in the fourth quarter at Columbus North but surrendered two late scores in regulation and a touchdown pass in overtime to see its season come to an end. Courier & Press photographer Jakob Schiller was at both games and chronicled the action.

Yale football coach Tom Williams liked to say that while Jordan Haynes was the captain of the Bulldogs this season, fellow linebacker Will McHale was first lieutenant. When he is out there, the guys know what kind of player he is," Williams said earlier this year. "It just gives us strength, his energy, his passion, the way he plays rubs off on everybody else.
Chas Alecxih is making a name for himself. He really is a passionate football player," defensive line coach Greg Gattuso said. "He doesn't do everything right, but he does everything with a lot of passion. That's what I love about him.
The Osiris Trio had to cancel at the last minute, and so the Buffalo Chamber Music Society audience Tuesday was treated to a performance by the Brahms Piano Quartet, a new ensemble. Four Russians make up the quartet. They are violinist Alla Aranovskaya, violist Boris Vayner, cellist Leonid Shukayev -- all members of the St. Petersburg String Quartet -- as well as Irina Morozova on piano.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Last season's lasting college basketball image, one that helped make Florida's Joakim Noah the sport's most popular player, came a few minutes after the Final Four's final buzzer. Standing on the scorer's table, Noah, the event's most outstanding player, turned to a throng of Florida fans at Indianapolis' RCA Dome and delivered a Gator chomp.
Cindy Gordon didn't think she was making such a ruckus. Her audience obviously had no musical taste. That's one of the problems with finding somewhere to practice," said Gordon, a paleontology professor in the University of Oklahoma's zoology department. "I don't practice at home late at night. I might drive up to the parking lot of the Lloyd Noble Center where I'm just annoying the birds.
