MAHALLA EL-KUBRA, EGYPT — Much was made of Facebook, Twitter and the role social media played in lending a sense of youth and modernity to the uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak’s rule. Then came the ascendancy of political Islam, which seems to be leading Egypt in a different direction entirely. But the real roots of the revolution may lie here in this crumbling cotton mill town in the Nile Delta, Egypt’s industrial heartland, and with an old-fashioned labor dispute over pay that began five years ago.

A n admission: To keep restaurant staffs that recognize me from knowing whether I like a dish, I leave some food on my plate. And yet, no amount of discipline can keep me from polishing off a whole catfish po’ boy at the new Pearl Dive Oyster Palace in Logan Circle. Blame my lapse on the deftly fried, clean-flavored fillet. Point also to the pedigreed Allan Benton bacon tucked inside the sturdy (but not too!) roll. Indict as well the gently cooked farm egg that floods the Delta prize with even more flavor when teeth strike yolk. Read full article > >

DELTA, Utah — Authorities planned to resume searching the rugged Utah desert Sunday as part of a nearly two-year investigation into a missing mother after three days of digging in what had been described as a shallow grave turned up no remains. Cadaver dogs led police to the site Wednesday just off a dirt road near the base of Topaz Mountain, a popular rock-hounding spot in remote central Utah. The area is more than 130 miles from the location where Susan Powell was last seen at her West Valley City home on Dec. 7, 2009. Read full article > >

PHOENIX — A Delta Air Lines flight from Detroit to San Diego was diverted to Albuquerque, N.M., on Sunday because of a security scare but authorities found “no suspicious devices” on the plane, an FBI spokesman said. Agency spokesman Frank Fisher declined to clarify the nature of the “potential security threat” that caused Flight 1706 to land in New Mexico. He said agents searched the plane and interviewed the crew and 107 passengers before clearing the aircraft to fly again. Albuquerque International Sunport spokesman Daniel Jiron also declined to say what the potential threat was. No one was arrested. Read full article > >

GREENWOOD, Miss. — It’s probably a good thing that Robert Johnson has three graves outside this Mississippi Delta town. If the devil comes back to claim his share of the royalties, the confusion should give the long-dead bluesman a head start. On the other hand, the people he really might need to shake are the interpreters, mythologizers, agents and lawyers. The legendary bluesman, possibly the most influential of the Delta acoustic school, would have turned 100 Sunday. Johnson’s birthday is being celebrated here with a four-day festival of music, art, talk, T-shirts and posters. Leflore County’s 825 hotel rooms are almost all booked. German public radio is making an hour-long special. One of the headliners is Johnson’s grandson Steven, who will play music Saturday night in the town park and preach a sermon at a country church Sunday afternoon. Read full article > >
