REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | North Minneapolis We’ll tell you what the judge decides on the flurry of lawsuits around last winter’s Jordan Area Community Council controversy as soon as the decision is made (probably the week of July 6). What do you think about what’s been going on at JACC, in Jordan, and around the Northside? Tell us what you know – and what you think we should be covering.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar park volunteers
Minneapolis parks have recently tightened enforcement of rules about background checks for volunteers. But does the “systemic bias of the criminal justice system” mean that many African American males will be barred from serving as volunteers? We want to hear your ideas.

The Uptown Pride Block Party on June 26 was an LGBT Pride Week affair, but you didn’t need to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender to get with it. For that matter, you didn’t have to have a dime in your pocket. All you had to bring was the willingness to enjoy a damned good time. MORE »
MOVIES | Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in Public Enemies: Michael Mann doing what he does best: Austin Kennedy – I don’t mind independent pictures using HD video ‘cause they don’t have enough money for film, but when a major studio is making a multi-million dollar picture (and a period piece at that), shoot the friggin’ thing on film.

my first Daily Planet audio experience
Cool! Thanks for the coverage of the Ward Two contest. This entire KFAI/DP/SPNN/...media collaboration is very impressive, at least for this Midwesterner.
FYI, the Thune audio track is slow and, well, inaccurate. But don’t get me wrong – I still enjoyed the experience.
Are we free to download the mp3 and, I don’t know, pass it around? Put it on our website? I don’t know the rules…
May the best man win. And may the second best man get his gardening tools ready for the spring planting season.

The mp3 sounds fine to me — I suspect that the quality varies depending on your platform and browser. Unfortunately, with the many browsers in use, it is difficult to get everything to look (and now sound) the same on all. For anyone with difficulty in viewing / listening to any item on the Daily Planet, please e-mail editor@tcdailyplanet.net, describing the difficulty and telling me what browser you are using, and we’ll try to find and fix the problem. Thanks!
