Saturday and Sunday on "News To Me"

Well we're one week into the New Year and back from vacation. Just kidding… we get NO VACATIONS… the news waits for no one!

We hope you enjoyed our "iReport Special" and the "Best of News to Me" special. We're well rested and ready to take you into 2009, "News to Me" style!

Even though it's a new year, the format is still the same. For the best videos and stories, we still rely on YOU our faithful viewers. Remember, it's all about YOUR STORIES – YOUR VIDEOS and – YOUR PICTURES that YOU want to share with the world! Remember our motto: "You shoot it, we show it!"

ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW…

One Man's Quest for "Real Change"
His name is Ed Port. Ed Needs a Miracle. He has "neurofibromatosis," a rare genetic disorder characterized most notably by benign tumors that, in his case, have disfigured his face. His good friend Michael Murphy, is an artist who is using his talents to find Ed some help. It's a touching story, but a happy ending may depend on you or someone you know. Watch, be moved, and see how you may be able to help!

New Year's Eve Fire at Bangkok Club
It was supposed to be a happy celebration, ringing in 2009. But as one iReporter described it, it was absolute pandemonium! The sirens were wailing as people streamed out of the club, screaming and crying, some were badly burned! It was an inferno that happened in just minutes! We are on the scene with the images and stories provided by you.

Life Under the Big Top!
You know at one time or another every child has imagined of running off to join the circus... but for one woman, that dream turned into reality and almost killed her! Kate Meinhardt wrote the blog "LIfe in the Circus" about her years on the road working with animals and we talked to her about what she calls, "the coolest job in the world!"

And don't forget!
