| So, get out there, support the Mountaineers and share your fun with ...
You don't need me to tell you the last few years have been nothing short of exciting at WVU. I have had the opportunity and privilege to be at every one of the Mountaineers games over the last three seasons home and away. Who can forget the excitement of the amazing comeback against Louisville in 2005 to win in triple overtime? The 2006 game against Rutgers was also exciting. Another triple overtime win, and this one propelled the Mountaineers to another Gator Bowl. But my favorite moment was covering the 2005 team and enjoying the Sugar Bowl followed by the celebration. You could not help but be so happy for those players. We get to know them fairly well during the course of a season. That was a lot of fun. Greg Chandler This will be my fourth season covering WVU Football, and when I look back on my time with the program a few moments come to mind.

Nine bookstores worth traveling for
We get a whole lot of tourists, along with people waiting for trains and fans hanging out until game time," said spokeswoman Patty Miller. The store has two other locations, but the LoDo location is especially inviting, with cozy nooks, overstuffed chairs and a gas fireplace.
THAT BOOKSTORE IN BLYTHEVILLE: 316 W. Main, Blytheville, Ark.; http://www.tbib.com or 870-763-3333. It's located in an out-of-the-way small town, but That Bookstore in Blytheville has become famous thanks to Grisham, who grew up nearby. "He comes here all the time, every time he has a book," said Mary Gay Shipley, the store's "manager, founder, owner and janitor." While Grisham no longer greets the public during his visits, he does sign books, and his association with the store gave Shipley the clout to get other big names in - from Mary Higgins Clark and "Cold Mountain" author Charles Frazier to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
US Consumers Oblivious to GM Food Fears
This whole arrangement reminds me of the nightmare of Axis Chemical in the movie Batman. Unfortunately in our sad tale, there is not one homocidal "Joker", but rather 500 of them on wall street. The poor guy at the frankenfood market is now screwed. His choice is GM chromsomal damage from mountains of processed poison in plastic bags or GM chromosomal damage from GM gene spliced frankenproduce. Megacorps like Monsanto have only been playing God with your food for a few years now. Nobody knows the mortality rates or Cancer incidence that will crop up ten years from now. We all are now lab rats. .
Giuliani's work for drug maker probed
Brownlee found himself on the telephone last year with a political and legal superstar, Rudolph W. Giuliani. For years, Mr. Brownlee and his small team had been building a case that the maker of the painkiller OxyContin had misled the public when it claimed the drug was less prone to abuse than competing narcotics. The drug was believed to be a factor in hundreds of deaths involving its abuse. .
Show the games in high definition
While watching the snowy playoff game at Lambeau Field last Saturday I remarked to my fellow football fans how much fun it would be to see and hear the game in HDTV.On Monday, local media were reporting an increase in the sale of television receivers and attributed it in part to excitement over the Packers appearing in the NFC Championship game today. That underscores my lament of no HDTV from our local Fox affiliate.
While this is no fault of the local staff, the station ownership needs to know how much the 7 Rivers Region wants to enjoy our Packers games in the high definition video and exciting audio that the majority of the country receives.Once you watch football in HDTV, you'll see what I mean. Please join me in writing and calling WLAX-TV so your wishes are passed on to their ownership group.
