Local and area briefs

From Staff reports

PORUM — Tiffany Thompson scored 18 points to lead the Hulbert girls to a 53-30 victory over Webbers Falls in the semifinals of the Greenleaf Invitational in Porum on Thursday night. The Lady Riders advance to the tournament finals and will take on the winner of the Porter-Oaks game, which will be played on Friday.

Hulbert put Webbers Falls away in the first half by eventually claiming a 34-18 advantage.

What do you think of Sen. McCain's proposal to allow cable TV channels to be sold a la carte (individually, rather than in bundles with a lot of channels no one wants)? Bear in mind some less popular channels could go by the wayside with no bundling support, and that while overall packages should theoretically decrease in cost, individual channels might cost more.

Strongly in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat opposed to a la carte.
