Saturday is Record Store Day

Fri. Apr. 20th, 2012

Vinyl strikes back this Saturday as most independent music stores around the country release special songs on records to celebrate. Cassettes, 8-Tracks, and CDs are becoming obsolete in the iTunes, downloadable Mp3 era of music we live in today, but why does vinyl continue to stick around?

NHL Playoffs Feature Good, Bad, And Lots Of Ugly

Fri. Apr. 20th, 2012  |  John Gilbert

If I had to pick right now, my first-round hunch says that sometime in June, when the final horn sounds to end the final playoff game, National Hockey League president Gary Bettman will hand the Stanley Cup to...the Philadelphia Flyers. While we’re at it, how about a Flyers-Blues final?

Minnesota Wild Post-Season Wrap, Part One, The Stanley Cup Rages Forth, & The Mfan Cup Power Rank, The M5!

Fri. Apr. 20th, 2012  |  Marc Elliott

CARLTON PEAK… The Minnesota Wild have concluded their 11th season of competition, posting a record of 35-36-1—or if you are like me and just want the W-L record in black and white, they went 35-47. They put on a surge of sorts going 5-5 in their last 10 tilts. However, I am saddened to report that they missed the playoffs once again. In fact, to be honest, after 11 seasons, the highlight list for the club is kind of a short read. Out of expansion teams that have come into the NHL over the past 15 years, the Wild and Columbus are the two that still seem to be finding their way.

How many were killed by Chernobyl?

Thu. Apr. 26th, 2012

April 26, 2012, is the 26th anniversary of the radiation disaster at Chernobyl, in Ukraine 60 miles north of Kiev. The explosions and 40-day-long fire at Chernobyl’s reactor No. 4 dispersed between one and 9 billion curies of radiation across the whole of the planet earth. The UN called it the worst environmental catastrophe in human history, and until Fukushima, Japan became the second, Chernobyl was the only level 7 radiological disaster ever recognized by its 0-to-7 scale.

Then They Came for the Children An Analysis of the Official Cover-up of the Unwelcome Truths About the Canadian Genocide of Aboriginal Children

Thu. Apr. 26th, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

By Guest Columnist Bill Annett From a recent edition of “The Canadian Shield” (Volume 3, Issue 3, titled “The Truth That Failed”) We’ve just spent half a day (perhaps too much) reading a 115-page tome, neither scholarly nor journalistic mais tous les deux, titled “They Came For The Children.” It’s the interim report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, that icon and crowning triumph of the conservative Stephen Harper’s Canadian majority government.

America Goes Postal–The National Rifle Association’s Tsunami Of Death

Thu. Apr. 26th, 2012  |  Ed Raymond

In the last 44 years, over a million American civilians have been killed by gunfire. Last year 100,000 were killed or wounded, with 33,000 going toes up immediately. We lead the world in a lot of things—and shooting guns at people and hitting them is one of them. Europeans say we have so many gun deaths and horrific wounds because we are not quite civilized yet. The man who was invited to talk to the recent National Rifle Association’s annual convention in St. Louis proves that a

The Taking of Wolves: Who’s Calling the Shots?

Thu. Apr. 26th, 2012

Minnesota’s wolves were just removed from the Federal Endangered Species list, and are already under attack. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is backtracking on earlier promises to keep wolves on a five-year watch list after removal from endangered designation, and now wants to open a wolf hunting and trapping season as early as November. Why the big rush?

Black Bear Is One That Frequents Northland

Fri. Apr. 27th, 2012  |  Ralph LaPlant

The black bear is the only bear of the four species on our continent that frequents our area. It came over on the Bering Land Bridge about 500,000 years ago. A larger black bear male weighs between 300 to 400 pounds. It does not have the shoulder “hump,” characteristic of the grizzly bear. It has a straight face when seen in profile. It has 42 teeth, with the canines being long and well pointed. Each foot has five toes, each having strong claws. It is the only North American bear that often climbs trees as an adult.
