EdgeFest (Continued) Must Wait, Charlie Rose, Mac-Attack & Baseball

I know I'm tardy with my wrap-up of the delightful Kerrytown, Ann Arbor 2011 EdgeFest. In addition to being in the holds of Art Blakey, Lee Morgan and Jackie McLean, I've been in the hold of my new wireless printer and Mac's recent operating (non-co-operating) system OS 10.7 "Lion". This last hold among holds has been excruciating - IT talk, unhelpful AppleCare chats, etc. I'll cash-out my EdgeFest review promise after game seven of the baseball's World Series tonight - Go Cardinals!

    I was very surprised to see Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! and Chris Hedges of TruthDig on the Charlie Rose TV program this week. I also listened carefully (last evening's Rose broadcast) to the author Amos Oz's sane and insightful thoughts concerning the 'Israel-Palestine' situation - I realize this way of putting it begs the question concerning Palestinian statehood, but isn't this is the only solution? Oz emphasized the lack of courage by politicians on both sides of this terrible situation.
