MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Five by 8
What’s wrong with flying a kite, the pricelessness of concerned citizens, criminals in Yankee hats, public radio food fight, and name the last insightful comment that came out of a professional sports locker room.
Why do some medical students think doctors shouldn’t hold patients’ hands? Dancing his way back from the earthquake in Haiti, the faces of the homeless, inside the jets of the rich, how to photograph a nuclear bomb, and the Eden Prairie kid and the no-hands mouse.
The healthiest states are also the most educated, the mole in the civil rights movement, a look at Fashion Week, dying green, and what bus companies have learned from the airlines.
A week without social media, a retired U president draws a big salary, do you know the judge you’re voting for, would you travel to Duluth to see a manhole cover, and the men of mow night.
Does Terry Jones speak for all Christians, Redwood Falls’ generosity, a new social networking site for stories, is the kid in the street real, and dancing ’til the cops arrive.
If kids can use spell check on tests, why not calculators? The tattoo convention, gov candidates on health care reform, everything you know about guys dancing is wrong, and the price of old stadiums.
A gubernatorial candidate might have the right idea about hugs, who will this generation’s civil rights champions be, bipolar and violence, let’s play dress-up with animals, and the joy of a ride through soybean fields.

The importance of a decaying cabin, Lady Gaga is a communist, an unexpected catch, when plans fall through, and how do you know if your boycott worked?
Racial disparities, the gold rush, Manny being Manny, the holiday spirit and bear season.
A vanishing forest, anti-social behavior on social media, the Tea Party continues its upward climb, the stories of things, and a Duluth treasure.

How the banks use your money to get more of your money, fact-checking private vs. public employees, tales from the funeral home, the heroes of live programming, and giving our kids the chance to not meet our expectations.
Should youth sports games be streamed to your smart phone, a solar solution examined, why the increase in the price of eggs isn’t a big deal, North Dakota Bois, and the button car of Northfield.
