Latest fan blog: Sorting through Grambling's addition by subtraction
I would love to see some sort of big torunament like the former American Press Tournament in my hometown of Lake Charles. That had real competition and teams from all over. It would be a great thing -- and could be done. But would Coach Lyons even let histeam play in a tournament like that, with real competition? Or will he continue to trim the schedule in order get that annual trip to the Cajundome, where he will inevitably get run off the court yet again?I would love to see the day when the Kittens can stop looking for the advantage and start getting prepared to play on any court.Paul Taylor, a Grambling resident, is the guy at the GSU games in the Paul "Tank" Younger jersey. .

David Hendricks: State law hinders health-care clinics
As a new kind of family-friendly and affordable medical clinic pops up in bunches across the nation, Texas waits like a flu patient sitting in a crowded doctor's office. The barrier is state law, which urgently needs updating to keep up with new trends in health-care delivery. Although a dozen or more of the retail clinics, also called convenient-care clinics, have opened in Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin, only one operates in San Antonio. The RediClinic at the H-E-B Plus store at 6818 S. Zarzamora St. opened in January 2006. About 800 retail clinics were operating in the United States as of last November. The total likely will reach 1,500 by the end of 2008. Five retail clinic chains are active in Texas. None have plans to move into or to expand in San Antonio, including the chains that operate inside Walgreens and CVS drugstores.
