Placing the amber-bead necklace on the summit of the second-highest mountain on Earth was going to be a death-defying feat.&nbsp;    With years of mountain-climbing experience, Greg Mortenson felt he was capable of conquering the Himalayan giant known as K2. Although Mount Everest is higher, the &#8220;savage peak&#8221; is widely considered a more difficult climb.

When Mary Johnston Cox arose on a June morning in 1967, she knew it was going to be a life-altering day for her.&nbsp; She didn&#8217;t expect anyone outside her immediate sphere to make any note of it. &#8220;People retire every day,&#8221; she might have thought as her 43-year teaching career was about to end.

In early October 2005 - mercifully, I cannot recall the exact day, which turned out to be one of literary infamy - I was given Charles A. Taormina&#8217;s &#8220;Gratuity&#8221; to review. After I had recovered from the trauma of reading it, honesty prompted me to describe the book as &#8220;the worst, the most pretentious, most unliterary, self-infatuating book I have ever read.&#8221;

As the United States neared its 200th birthday, a patriotic fervor swept the country.&nbsp; Everything from mailboxes to fire hydrants was being painted red, white and blue. The U.S. Treasury minted Bicentennial coins, and the Freedom Train chugged through all 48 contiguous states carrying more than 500 pieces of Americana, such as the dress Judy Garland wore in &#8220;The Wizard of Oz&#8221; and George Washington&#8217;s copy of the Constitution.

There is power in simplicity. There is power in good storytelling.&nbsp; Had those been enough for Clinton Johnston, who directed Suzan-Lori Parks play &#8220;In the Blood,&#8221; currently running at Live Arts, he&#8217;d have had a much more powerful production to give us.&nbsp; Johnston&#8217;s director&#8217;s notes show that he understands the power of the story. But it seems that in his love for the playwright&#8217;s works, he has tried too hard to give it embellishments it doesn&#8217;t need, while neglecting some basics.

These days there are two sides to Jason Ringenberg. Sometimes the Nashville-based singer-songwriter is still an alt-country cowboy punk that continues to mess with the Americana formula. Then there&#8217;s his alter ego Farmer Jason, who enjoys entertaining youngsters with an original brand of quirky country kid&#8217;s music.

The recent &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; television segment on the shortage of bees to pollinate all types of fruit and vegetable plants got me to thinking about honey. It seems that the bees are dying by the thousands from what is believed to be modern pesticides. This is causing the cost of renting bees for pollination to double in price.
