Froma Harrop: Where Third Party Candidates Are Almost Routine (creators.com)
They make less of a ruckus than the tea party people, but independents in New England are brewing their own revolution. Third-party governors may have been elected elsewhere - Walter Hickel in Alaska (1990) and Jesse Ventura in Minnesota (1998) - but in New England, such candidacies have become almost routine.

TERRY TEACHOUT: Believing in Flannery O'Connor (commentarymagazine.com)
In 1952, the landscape of American fiction was dominated by a group of literary celebrities who had published their first novels after or near the end of World War II. James Baldwin, Saul Bellow, Truman Capote, Ralph Ellison, Norman Mailer, J.D. Salinger, Gore Vidal: these were the up-and-comers about whom everyone was talking in the days when serious fiction still mattered to the educated public, the ones who were expected to do great things.


Cosmo Landesman: "In his own write: Stephen Benatar" (timesonline.co.uk)
The author got his first rejection slip at the age of 12. Five decades and many glowing reviews later he was still a literary nobody. So he took to selling his books in person - to one reader at a time.


RYAN MCNUTT: "WHAT IS AN ALBUM, ANYWAY?" (maisonneuve.org)
... what planet has the "artistic integrity of the albums" ever been preserved? Until recently, radio has been the primary gateway for discovering new music, and radio has always had the power to pull apart albums and choose particular tracks to emphasize. Think about how people have discovered bands like Floyd or AC/DC from listening to rock radio. Let's face it: 45 minutes is a LONG time to invest in discovering a band, which is why the single is so enticing.

It will take a time commitment and some writing ability, but pretty much anyone can do what I do.

Broccoli evolved from what plant?


      Wild Cabbage                                                      Source


Broccoli evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe. Indications point to the vegetable being known of 2,000 years ago. Since the Roman Empire, broccoli has been considered a uniquely valuable food among Italians.            Source

   Wikipedia says cabbage, but it says here
     Artificial selection
     Long before Darwin and Wallace, farmers and breeders were using the idea of selection to cause major changes in the features of their plants and animals over the course of decades. Farmers and breeders allowed only the plants and animals with desirable characteristics to reproduce, causing the evolution of farm stock. This process is called artificial selection because people (instead of nature) select which organisms get to reproduce.
     As shown below, farmers have cultivated numerous popular crops from the wild mustard, by artificially selecting for certain attributes.

  Know why Europe is a continent? Because Europeans say it is. I mean, look at a map, look at Google Earth. Europe is the Western side of Asia. I heard that old BS in grade school, Europe is separated from Asia by the Urals. If that's true then California is separated from North America by the Rocky Mountains. Is California a continent? Well, nobody says it is.

Tulip Time

Blackwater founder to speak at Tulip Time luncheon

A Michigan native whose security company was banned from Iraq after a 2007 shooting left 17 Iraqis dead will serve as guest speaker at the Tulip Time Festival Luncheon in Holland. The Grand Rapids Press reports that life experiences and lessons learned while growing up in the southwestern Michigan city of Holland are among the topics that Erik Prince will discuss May 5 at DeVos Field house. Prince is founder of Myock, N.C.-based Blackwater, now known as Xe Services, whose family fortune was made in the auto parts industry. His sister, Betsy DeVos, a former chairwoman of the Michigan GOP, is married to Dick DeVos, a Republican and Amway Corp. heir who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2006. The State Department renewed Blackwater's contract in 2008.    Erik Prince



That area of SW Michigan is a bastion of conservatism and the Calvinistic (Dutch) Christian Reformed Church and is considered the state's 'Bible Belt'. (Joe S. from Manistee-on-the-Lake can confirm that. Right, Joe?) Besides having the largest Tulip Festival in the US, Holland is also known as the 'City of Churches' with 170 for a population of 32,000. The "WWJD" bracelet craze was created there in the late 80s. Holland's neighboring town, Zeeland, only recently voted to allow the sale of alcohol within its limits. Until then it was the only municipality in Michigan that I'm aware of to still be 'Dry'... So, this is the area that spawned 'Darth Eric' and he will speak to 'The Faithful' at their oh-so-genteel luncheon about how his growing up there helped make him the 'Chief Mercenary in Charge' for the US government... Hey, 'Code Pink'! Need sumpthin to do? Here ya go! Have at it!

General Motors, NASA-designed robot to blast off in September
(No, this is not a joke...)



Robonaut 2, the robot developed by General Motors and NASA, is going to space in September, the Detroit automaker said today. The adventure, which will include a ride on space shuttle Discovery, will be part of mission STS-133, GM said. R2, as he is called, will work on the International Space Station along with another robot named Dextre, who was built by the Canadian Space Agency and is positioned outside the station's exterior to perform tasks that would normally require astronauts to take space walks.    General Motors, NASA-designed robot to blast off in September | freep.com | Detroit Free Press


(It's a good thing NASA partnered with GM instead of Toyota. If they had, the shuttle might have accidentally gone into Warp Drive and ended up in the Delta Quadrant, haha!)

Challenged Books

`Twilight' Series

Stephenie Meyer, the hottest author for young people since J.K. Rowling, has a new link to the creator of "Harry Potter": a place high on the list of books most complained about by parents and educators.

Meyer's multimillion-selling "Twilight" series was ranked No. 5 on the annual report of "challenged books" released Wednesday by the American Library Association. Meyer's stories of vampires and teen romance have been criticized for sexual content; a library association official also thinks that the "Twilight" series reflects general unease about supernatural stories.

Topping the 2009 chart was Lauren Myracle's "IM" series, novels told through instant messages that have been criticized for nudity, language and drug references. Last year's No. 1 book, "And Tango Makes Three," by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson, is now No. 2, cited again for its story about two male penguins adopting a baby. Third was Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," for which the many reasons include drugs, suicide, homosexuality and being antifamily.

Also cited were such perennials as J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" (sexual content, language), Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (language, racism), Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" (sexual content, language) and Robert Cormier's "The Chocolate War" (nudity, language, sexual content).

Enters British Election Fray

J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling entered Britain's election campaign Wednesday with a scathing attack on the main opposition Conservatives for their social policies.

Rowling, who wrote the first Harry Potter book while living as a single mother on benefits but is now a multimillionaire, suggested Tory leader David Cameron was "completely ignorant" about poor people's lives.

One of the Conservatives' manifesto pledges ahead of the May 6 election is a tax break for married couples. It amounts to just 150 pounds a year (231 dollars, 170 euros) but Cameron said it was important for the message it sends.

"Nobody who has ever experienced the reality of poverty could say 'it's not the money, it's the message'," Rowling, a major donor to Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour party, wrote in The Times newspaper.

She added: "When you are two pence short of a tin of baked beans, and your child is hungry, it is the money. When you find yourself contemplating shoplifting to get nappies, it is the money.

Merchant Ivory Films

Eastman House

The original negatives of the Oscar-winning films "A Room with a View" and "Howards Ends" have found a snug home at the George Eastman House motion-picture archive.

The film and photography museum said Wednesday that Merchant Ivory Productions has turned over a large collection of original reels and 35mm archive prints for safekeeping.

With more than 30,000 movie titles, Eastman House is one of the nation's four major U.S. motion-picture archives. Among its holdings are the collections of filmmakers Cecil B. DeMille, Kathryn Bigelow, Spike Lee, Ken Burns and Martin Scorsese.

Was LSD An Influence?

Doctor Who

The regenerations of Time Lord Doctor Who were modelled on the "horrifying" side effects of drug-induced trips, according to archived documents published by the BBC.

Doctor Who, an eccentric TV hero who has fearlessly fought Daleks and Cybermen with the help of his Tardis time machine in the shape of a 1950s London police box, has become a classic figure since the show first aired in the 1960s.

The regenerations started in 1966 to allow writers to replace the lead actor. The series recently saw an 11th actor, Matt Smith, take on the role.

"It as if he has had the L.S.D. drug and instead of experiencing the kicks, he has the hell and dank horror which can be its effect," it says.

The half-hour series will premiere in the first quarter of 2011.

Comedy Central bills the pilot and 10-episode series as taking on "teams, players, leagues, sycophantic fans, ridiculous products and over-hyped coverage."

Dollywood's 25th Season

Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton seems to live her life by the motto "Go big or go home." With her signature theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., she did both.

Parton opened Dollywood in 1986 on the site of what had been the Silver Dollar City theme park. The first year, 1.3 million visitors came. Now, at the start of its 25th anniversary season, Dollywood has more than doubled in size to 60 hectares and over 40 million people have passed through its gates, with 2.5 million guests in a typical season.

Parton expanded her brand locally to include the Dixie Stampede dinner theatre in 1988 and Dollywood's Splash Country waterpark in 2001. All three together employ 3,000 people.

Dollywood is Tennessee's No. 1 ticketed tourist attraction and has been for over a decade.

Who Owns Film

"La Dolce Vita"

A New York District Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit against the creator of a two-part pornographic remake of Frederico Fellini's classic film, "La Dolce Vita." In the process he's raised questions about whether anybody controls the legendary original.

In 2007, International Media Films sued Lucas Entertainment over "Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita," an adult remake that garnered 14 awards at the gay porn industry's equivalent of the Oscars (honors included best picture, best actor and best threesome). IMF alleged copyright and trademark infringement.

Fellini's classic is famous for popularizing the orgy, so it would have been interesting to see a court examine the derivative nature of a porn film. Alas, the case took an unexpected direction that's just as steamy. Both parties disputed the chain of title on Fellini's "La Dolce Vita."

According to IMF, the original producers of the film assigned the rights in 1962 to Cinemat, S.A., which transferred rights in 1980 to Hor A.G., which transferred rights the following year to Oriental Films, which transferred rights in 1998 to Cinestampa, which then transferred rights in 2001 to IMF. A year later, IMF filed a registration with the US Copyright Office on a restoration copy of the Fellini film.

Interestingly, the film was briefly in the public domain in the mid-1990s and may still be there today. IMF claims it was restored to copyright protection thanks to legislation enacted as part of an international treaty, but the court is dubious.

Broadway Musical For 2011

Trey Parker and Matt Stone

The creators of the cheeky animated TV series "South Park" are taking aim at Broadway.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have written a musical comedy called "The Book of Mormon" that will open on Broadway in March 2011. The two wrote the show's book, music and lyrics, along with Robert Lopez, one of the creators of the Tony-winning "Avenue Q." The musical will be directed by Parker and Jason Moore, who directed "Avenue Q."

Producers Scott Rudin and Anne Garefino said Wednesday that a theater, casting and other production details would be announced later.

Mississippi

Juke Joint Festival

In Clarksdale, epicenter of the blues, this year's Juke Joint Festival has everything from legendary blues singers like Grammy-winner David "Honeyboy" Edwards, all the way to racing pigs and monkeys riding on dogs.

More than 50 musical acts are scheduled to play at the three-day event that starts Thursday in the Mississippi Delta city that was hometown to blues icons Son House, Junior Parker and John Lee Hooker and childhood home of playwright Tennessee Williams.

Fans will hear most of the daytime music outdoors and not in a juke joint - the kind of black-owned, quasi-legal liquor and gambling houses that once peppered the Jim Crow South. About half of the 16 nighttime venues, however, are in authentic, surviving juke joints, including Anniebelle's Lounge and Red's Lounge in downtown Clarksdale, across the track from Morgan Freeman's Ground Zero Blues Club.

Sparks Investigation

Palin Contract

A document fished out of a California state university trash bin last week has prompted a state investigation into the university's foundation arm and its refusal to disclose details related to Sarah Palin's upcoming speech at the school.

On Tuesday, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said his office would look into the finances of the California State University, Stanislaus Foundation, as well as allegations that the nonprofit organization violated public disclosure laws by keeping details of Palin's contract secret.

The contract detailed the former Alaska governor's requirements for her visit, including first-class flights from Anchorage to California - if she flies commercial. If not, "the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger ...," the contract specifies.

Palin also must be provided with a suite and two single rooms in a deluxe hotel near the campus in Turlock in the Central Valley. During her speech, her lectern must be stocked with two water bottles and bendable straws.

Throw The Book At Him

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin

An Army doctor is under investigation after questioning on YouTube whether President Barack Obama is U.S.-born - then disobeying orders to report for duty in Afghanistan.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin failed to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., on Monday, showing up instead at his old job in a clinic in the Pentagon, Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, an Army spokesman, said Wednesday. Lakin was reassigned immediately to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington while the investigation is under way.

A Greeley, Colo., native, Lakin said in a video posted on YouTube that he was an 18-year Army veteran "choosing to disobey" orders he says are illegal, including an order to deploy to Afghanistan for a second tour. He said he was doing so at "great peril" to his career and future and "inviting my own court-martial."

A court-martial is only one of the punishment options, and among the handful of other known birthers in the military, some have merely received administrative reprimands.

"Lawman" Suspended

Steven Seagal

Production of a television show featuring reserve deputy and movie star Steven Seagal will be suspended "for the time being" as Seagal faces sexual harassment allegations, a suburban New Orleans sheriff said Wednesday.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said the continued video recording of the reality series, "Steven Seagal Lawman," would be a distraction for the department in light of allegations made against Seagal by a woman in a California civil lawsuit.

Kayden Nguyen, a 23-year-old model, sued Seagal for $1 million on Monday in Los Angeles, alleging he sexually harassed her and engaged in sex trafficking. Her lawsuit claims Seagal hired her as an executive assistant and flew her to Louisiana while he was making the reality series and repeatedly groped and fondled her.

She claims she was kept at a house in Lafitte, La., for several days and that Seagal repeatedly fondled and groped her, touching her genitals and breasts without permission. She claims two other women were kept at the house and were used by the actor for sexual purposes.

No Legal Action In Labor Probe

'Jon & Kate'

Child-labor permits should have been obtained for the children appearing on the TLC television show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," but the state will not take legal action against the producers, Pennsylvania regulators have concluded.

No action will be taken provided a portion of the proceeds from the now-canceled reality show are put into a trust fund for Jon and Kate Gosselin's children and child-labor permits are obtained for future filming, the state Department of Labor & Industry said in a five-page letter obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.

The agency ruled that the children were employed under the state's Child Labor Law because of the direction they sometimes received, because of their continued participation in the series and because the Gosselins and others were paid for the show.

It said that at least 15 percent of the gross proceeds, due to the children, must be placed in trust funds until they reach the age of 18 or unless needed for their safety, education, welfare or health.

Bans Dolphin Film

Yokota Airbase

A US base in Japan has blocked the screening at its cinema of an Oscar-winning documentary that casts a harsh light on Japanese dolphin hunters, citing public sentiment, a report said Wednesday.

Kyodo news agency said that authorities at the Yokota airbase in Tokyo had quashed a plan by educators on the base to use the theatre to screen "The Cove". The film portrays the annual hunt in the town of Taiji and has led to international criticism of the practice.

Kyodo quoted a public relations officer at the base as saying the military was required to maintain "neutrality" in such matters and that US officials were mindful of Japanese sensitivities on the issue. The base is also the headquarters of US forces in Japan.

Files For Divorce

Larry King

Larry King has filed for divorce from his seventh wife, court filings show.

The 76-year-old host of CNN's "Larry King Live" filed Wednesday to end the couple's nearly 13-year marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." He married Shawn Southwick-King in a hospital room in 1997 three days before surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel.

The couple have two sons, ages 11 and 9. King is seeking joint custody of the boys. He is also asking a court not to award Southwick-King, 50, any spousal support.

Howard Rubenstein, a spokesman for King, said Southwick-King filed for divorce moments after King's filing. Her filing was not immediately available.

Still Doesn't Get It

Vatican't

Gay groups and politicians condemned Pope Benedict's number two on Wednesday for calling homosexuality a "pathology" and linking it directly to sexual abuse of children.

The comments made by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone during a visit to Chile, and the controversy they caused, were splashed on mainstream Italian newspapers on Wednesday.

Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state, who is sometimes called the "deputy pope," told a news conference in Santiago on Monday: "Many psychologists and psychiatrists have shown that there is no link between celibacy and pedophilia, but many others have shown, I have recently been told, that there is a relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia."

A handout photo released by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities shows a sheet of gold depicting the four sons of Horus, the ancient Egyptian sky god, in Bahariya Oasis, 300 km (190 miles) southwest of Cairo April 12, 2010. Egyptian archaeologists carrying out excavations at the site of a planned youth centre have found 14 tombs dating back to the third century BC, including one with a female mummy adorned with jewellery.

Shuffled Around Globe

Predator Priests

There he was, five decades later, the priest who had raped Joe Callander in Massachusetts. The photo in the Roman Catholic newsletter showed him with a smile across his wrinkled face, near-naked Amazon Indian children in his arms and at his feet.

The Rev. Mario Pezzotti was working with children and supervising other priests in Brazil.

In an investigation spanning 21 countries across six continents, The Associated Press found 30 cases of priests accused of abuse who were transferred or moved abroad. Some escaped police investigations. Many had access to children in another country, and some abused again.

A priest who admitted to abuse in Los Angeles went to the Philippines, where U.S. church officials mailed him checks and advised him not to reveal their source. A priest in Canada was convicted of sexual abuse and then moved to France, where he was convicted of abuse again in 2005. Another priest was moved back and forth between Ireland and England, despite being diagnosed as a pederast, a man who commits sodomy with boys.

Last US Cannery Closing

Sardines

The intensely fishy smell of sardines has been the smell of money for generations of workers in Maine who have snipped, sliced and packed small, silvery fish into billions of cans on their way to Americans' lunch buckets and kitchen cabinets.

For the past 135 years, sardine canneries have been as much a part of Maine's small coastal villages as the thick Down East fog. It's been estimated that more than 400 canneries have come and gone along the state's long, jagged coast.

The lone survivor, the Stinson Seafood plant here in this eastern Maine shoreside town, shuts down this week after a century in operation. It is the last sardine cannery not just in Maine, but in the United States.

These days most of the canning is automated and the fish are cut with machines, though still packed by hand. The Stinson packers are all women because they are thought to have stronger backs and better dexterity than men, according to plant manager Peter Colson.
