“Now That He Is Safely Dead”: Silencing the Voice of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

“Now That He Is Safely Dead” Now that he is safely dead let us praise him, build monuments to his glory, sing hosannas to his name. Dead men make such convenient heroes. They cannot rise to challenge the images we would fashion from their lives. And besides, it is easier to build monuments than to make a better world. – Carl Wendell Hines

Will The United States Lead The Futures Race?

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013  |  Ed Raymond

Each year a global futures research tank called the Millennium Project publishes a report on our future, prepared from 10,000 pages of data collected from reliable sources. It is surprisingly positive about the future in a short summary: “It is increasingly clear that the world has the resources to address its challenges. The world is getting richer, healthier, better educated, more peacefu

The Constitutional right to ask the dumb question is guaranteed

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013  |  Forrest Johnson

I’m not a constitutional lawyer and I don’t even pretend to know the document like some people, but I still have some simple and exactingly dumb questions of those who do seem to know a lot more than I do. As I thumb through my hand-size copy of the Constitution, courtesy of the American Civil Liberties

Heroes of the Superior National Forest

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013

The beginning of a new year offers a time for pause. It is a time to acknowledge those who have laid the foundation upon which we will build the future, to recognize the history of the area of northeast Minnesota that today is facing so many new threats. In 1902, the U.S. Land Office withdrew from settlement 500,000 acres that would be part of the future Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The unique scenic values of the border zone were recognized by early co

Sandy Hook vs. The Duluth News Tribune

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013

Others may have been as puzzled as I that The Duluth News-Tribune (4 January 2013) published, “Retired UMD professor raises eyebrows with school shooting theory” by Jana Hollingsworth as an above-the-fold, front-page story.

Food of the Week: Lentils

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013

Lentils have a certain humbleness about them. They are inexpensive and don’t come in exciting packaging. They often feature in soups and what some would regard as weird, desperate vegetarian dishes like lentil loaf. Their appearance is dull

Not For The Faint Of Heart

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013

Rock climbing is not for the faint of heart. Neither is climbing frozen waterfalls. Neither is exercising with kettle bells. But such is the life of Adam Dailey, who happens to love all of these things. As well as skateboarding and mountain biking, if it gets the blood pumping, Adam is down. Full commitment, co

Elephant with Mismatched Ears

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013  |  Harry Drabik

Stirred by chance, recollections of childhood rise with sudden vividness. The color-swirl of a long skirt, buzz-whirr of a playing card against bicycle spokes, or the oily smell and pump-hiss of an air rifle hold bytes of memory. For me the words “Red Ryder” bring an image of being dressed in clean white shirt and bow tie for family Sunday visits to my grandparents’ high-ceilinged ho

Arto Jarvela & Kaivama: Folk Fiddle at it’s Finest

Fri. Jan. 11th, 2013  |  Paul Whyte

This coming Friday, January 11, the violinist Sara Pajunen will be playing with multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Rundman as the Finnish folk duo KAIVAMA. The band’s name pulls from the Finnish word “kaivaa,” which means to delve or dig. The Northland has deep Finnish roots
