By ANNE D'INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer NEW YORK — Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today, with plans to shutter 142 unprofitable stores in the hopes that it can stay in business. The question now is whether a smaller version of the company that once towered over the American retail landscape can be viable. Sears, which started as a mail order catalog in the 1880s, has been on a slow march toward extinction as it lagged far behind its peers and incurred huge losses over the years. At its peak, the operator of S...

Rudy James has traveled the world with his amateur wrestling career. Travels that have taken him to three silver medals at the World Veteran Championships. But as much as any wrestling mat James wrestles on, he holds the one he gets on every October inside the Armory Gymnasium as one that's extremely special. That's because James values the time he spent wrestling for the Northern Lights, and that's why, for 22 years now, James returns to take part in the annual MSU-Northern...

I 185 will reduce the number of kids who take up smoking, increase funds for our state tobacco prevention program and help people quit. Revenue will also go to treating Medicaid patients, veterans and sen...
The American political environment has been a boiling pot for the past half century which began as a gradual overthrow of the Founding Fathers’ historic system of government. George Soros has infused millions of dollars into our present political process in an aggressive push on behalf of internationally based socialism — foundation of communism — to overthrow this Christian-based nation. The current Democrat Party’s operational plan is obvious to me as based on Saul Alinsky’s program as he outlined in “Rules for Radicals.” T...

As someone who served two terms as Montana’s state auditor, I have first-hand experience about how to navigate these sometimes-difficult waters and the responsibilities of the job. Current State Auditor Matt Rosendale has failed to uphold the ethical standards of the office. Montanans l...
