Maternity Suites At $4,000 A Night And Panda Poop Tea At $34,000 A Pound

Thu. Mar. 8th, 2012  |  Ed Raymond

There’s no dull day in the United States when so much makes no sense at all. Here we are in a country that has major hospitals advertising $4,000-a-night maternity suites (all medical charges extra!) while it ranks 29th out of the top 30 industrialized countries in infant mortality. Norway, with universal health care available for every citizen, is second in the world in health care expend

All we can do is try to be nice to each other

Thu. Mar. 8th, 2012  |  Forrest Johnson

“Just try to be nice to people,” my grandmother always said. “You can’t change who they are or why they are. All you can do is try to be nice to people.” My grandmother was a spiritual woman who believed in the ways of Jesus and knew how to get rid of warts by rubbing them with a piece of bacon under a full moon and then having a third party hide the bacon under a rock. It seemed to work. She could also find water with a forked willow stick, sang in

Wild Rice, Minnesota’s Contribution To The World

Thu. Mar. 8th, 2012  |  Ralph LaPlant

Also called Indian Rice or water oats, wild rice has a common name of foran annual aquatic grass. It is a member of the grass family and is not closely related to common cultivated rice. Wild rice starts to grow in spring after the ice melts in swamps and in the swampy, shallow parts of lakes and slow moving rivers. Preferring shallow and moderate water depths, in about mid-June, it surfa

Fukushima Roulette, One Year On

Thu. Mar. 8th, 2012

It’s been a year since the reactor meltdowns and catastrophic radiation releases from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor complex, and news of their far-reaching consequences still makes headlines the world over. Radioactive hot spots are still being discovered far beyond the official 13-mile “exclusion” and 18-mile “cautionary” zo

Un-Fair? Grow Up!

Thu. Mar. 8th, 2012

Is anybody in this city aware that there are real problems going on all over the world? Are people aware that Iran is decidedly hateful of America and becoming quite knowledgeable on subjects like nuclear power? Do we in Duluth realize that we have nothing but boneheads running for the Republican nomination? And that a bonehead sits in the De

This is how dementia begins

The sitar music. THE GODDAMN SITAR MUSIC. I can’t take it anymore! It’s driving me insane. Day or night, no matter the time, the sitar music continues playing. Softly, gently, elegantly eating my brains from the inside. It’s torture. Each chord is like another little bead of water dripping on my forehead.An elderly Middle Eastern woman recently moved into the apartment building across from mine. This being Los Angeles, our windows are roughly eight feet apart. The sitar music never ends. It’s always playing in her apartment, even when she’s not there. My TV drowns

ST. PAUL, MN. --- It’s been a long, long year for Duluth East to return to Xcel Energy Center with the main objective being to go one notch beyond last year -- when the Greyhounds lost an excruciating triple-overtime game to Eden Prairie in the championship game. Battling a surprising number of injuries, the Hounds have played the toughest schedule in the state, and a

It’s State Hockey Tourney Time! Masked Fan Sports Shorts & Much, Much More!

Thu. Mar. 8th, 2012  |  Marc Elliott

LARSMONT… Just two summers ago, my son William, my little brother Tom Zamberletti and I went over to the St. Paul neighborhood where we grew up. A few years had passed by since I had been over there, and my son wanted to see where it was that we lived when we were younger. Not 200 feet off of West 7th S
