Can The Bulldogs Recreate The Magic?

Fri. Mar. 23rd, 2012

There is an eerie similarity to the UMD men’s hockey team’s entry into the NCAA hockey tournament this weekend. For those who don’t remember, last year’s Bulldogs stumbled at the end of the regular season, going 2-4-2 to finish league play, then barely escaping St. Cloud State in an overtime second game to reach the WCHA Final Five where the Bulldogs were one-and-done after a tough loss to Bemidji State. At that point, having botched the chance to win the WCHA regular season, and the playoffs, things looked bleak when UMD made the NCAA tournament but was sent out East to play in the Northeast Regional.

Manning To Broncos? NCAA Hockey Is Here! The Mfan Top 5 NHL Power Rank & More!

CLOQUET LAKE… Where would you rather be right now, northern Minny or south Florida? Since the weather is about the same as of late, I’ll take the peace and quiet of the good old North Star state any day of the week. As of Tuesday morning, it appears that all-world QB Peyton Manning is set to become a Denver Bronco. Well, that’s great. I have been to Denver several times and I really like it there. I wouldn’t mind spending a few years there, in fact. The beautiful Rocky Mountains are close by with plenty of outdoor recreation pursui

It’s more than a word

Thu. Mar. 29th, 2012  |  Harry Drabik

We live where it’s sometimes hard to know what to call the time of year. Is it spring? Or are we better off saying mud time or pre-bug season? Our end of winter isn’t like the sunny Easter to the south, but then ours comes minus tornados, so I’m not complaining. Northland spring is a multi-word affair. I’d vote for “ice-out, frost on the ground, too soon to plant, fire at night, bumpy road, no bugs time of year.

Cognitive Dissonance, BigPharma and Modern Medicine

Thu. Mar. 29th, 2012

In my weekly column, which I have been writing for Duluth’s Reader Weekly since 2009, I have written a number of essays about issues that should be of seriously concern for mental health practitioners whose practices rely heavily on the use of psychotropic drugs. Patients - and their loved ones - should also be concerned about the potential for long-term adverse effects of the brain-altering medications.

I wonder how old King Solomon did it in the centuries before the pill, condoms, IUDs, implantable drugs, Vatican Roulette, and other “scientific” methods of contraception. Here the guy had 700 wives and 300 concubines but produced only one son and two daughters according to Biblical sources. Solomon was the son of two of the lustiest people in the Bible, David and Bathsheba, so one would think he might have inherited a greater interest in sex and would have pr

Ferns

Thu. Mar. 29th, 2012

Present in almost every part of the world except for the Arctic, Antarctic, and arid deserts, there are about 10,000 species of ferns worldwide. They are found in swamps, jungles, sunny fields, low-lit crevices, and wind-swept cliffs, mountaintops, in towns and in the country. They are even seen in florist’s shops. They are indeed found most everywhere. With the great number different ferns worldwide, it would seem impossible to be able to identify one species from another. In fact, there are about only a little over 100 fern species in the eastern United States. This simplifies the task of identification greatly. Except for hybrids, which confuse even experts, identification is relatively easy. Included in the Roger Tory Peterson field guide series is a guide titled FERNS by Cobb. I use it, along with other Peterson guides, regularly for identification purposes and encourage anyone interested in learning mo

Belief in the Backwards Doctrine moving U.S. toward third-world status

Thu. Mar. 29th, 2012

There’s a big difference between being a luddite, an anachronist, and belonging to that group of people who simply believe that going backwards can sustain a democracy. I just happen to believe that every knick-knack and technological advance we embrace exerts a price upon a society that we don’t always understand as we rush pell mell to incorporate them into our ever more busy lives.

Several Dylan Sightings in the Northland Last Weekend

Thu. Mar. 29th, 2012

It was late Friday March 23, that I was checking in on my various social media accounts to see what was happening. I saw a tweet from @DylFan321 stating that Bob Dylan had been sighted in Hibbing two hours earlier by a friend. I immediately tried to contact her but failed to get a reply.

Northland Enquirer Exclusive: Leonardo da Vinci

Thu. Mar. 29th, 2012

Italian sculptor, painter, scientist and inventor, Leonardo da Vinci rose from his centuries-old grave Tuesday morning for an exclusive interview with the Northland Enquirer. Most famous for his iconic painting of the Mona Lisa and his rendition of Jesus and his apostles during The Last Supper, the prolific Mr. da Vinci spent decades creating timeless, profound works of art until
