Tiny Alaska island village struck by suspected swine flu isolated without regular flights
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Suspected Swine Flu is sweeping a traditional Eskimo whaling village on a remote Alaska island — prompting an urgent medical mission to deliver help. "Diomede is probably the most isolated place in the United States right now," said David Head, a doctor involved in the effort. "We thought it would be better to go out there and just vaccinate people." So many of the 130 residents of Diomede have been stricken with Flu-like symptoms that the Alaska Army National...

Review: 'Alaska' is bold, 90-proof dance
Dance review | In the fearless, gale-force landscape of "Alaska," created by Argentinean choreographer Diana Szeinblum, bodies convulse and metamorphose in brutal phrases that read like symptom and remedy both. Like 90-proof dance theater, "Alaska" packs an amazing rush of raw, coursing energy into 60 Minutes, all while playing subtly with the audience's need to assign meaning. Physically and psychically, the curtain is up and the soundscape is on before the piece begins. A seated man waits...

Simulacrum of a Celebrity Not Actually In Bed with Simulacrum of a Magazine Certain things start to make sense when you learn that notorious East Village gay party promoter Daniel Nardicio is the one behind the Levi Johnston Playgirl photospread. Also it's fun and enlightening to learn that there's actually no contract yet signed between the… person? Persona? Construct? …. from Alaska and the magazine that doesn't actually exist , since Playgirl hasn't actually been...

Obama's war on Fox News misguided
By Leslie Lorentzen Alaska Standard Contributor Napoleon once said he feared three Newspapers more than a thousand bayonets. I fear them, too, for different reasons. News organizations flirting with Bankruptcy and courting government help to bail them out is a troubling dilemma. Although Senator Cardin's Newspaper Revitalization Act has good intentions, so does that road to hell we've heard so much about. One must qualify as a newspaper corporation in order to receive this special government...

Update: Johnston and his lawyer demand a retraction from Conan , saying that Twitter account is actually fake and Johnston never said those things. Maybe Conan will apologize on tonight's show.
