...Probably very little. The newspaper industry is viewed as a poor investment. Several newspaper chains are already in the process of liquidation, particularly Journal Register and Gatehouse. The third largest newspaper company, McClatchy (MNI) is in deep trouble. A number of the nation's largest dailies, including The Rocky Mountain News, are for sale and some will be closed if they do not find buyers...
...dimly lit, spacious underground cavern, Buffalo Billiards is your typical crowd-accommodating billiards bar, with a "lodged-in-a-mountain-cabin" feel. A brown bear, a cowboy boot lamp, ceiling canoes, an abundance of wood and a Native American statue, are all part of the rustic theme in this two-barred joint, laden with pool tables, shuffleboards and small tables.

"I'd never tasted anything like it." Made from leaves grown and processed on small mountain gardens, those exquisite infusions were far removed from the bland British teabag - which can contain leaves from up to 60 factory farms. "I realized that Britain was drinking the equivalent of blended whiskey," recalls Lovell. "We'd never tried the single malt of the tea world...
