[Portfolio]Not a good year to be a pecan farmer. In Texas, farmers are having to rely on last year's crop to meet demand and in Oklahoma, the state is trying to receive federal relief for its pecan farmers.

• Oklahoma names Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize??" Official State Rock and Roll Song

  Last week, the Oklahoma State Legislature passed Senate Joint Resolution 24, naming this OK's official state rock song. From the press release: Jill Simpson, Director of the Oklahoma Film & Music Office, expressed: "The legislature's official naming of 'Do You Realize??' as Oklahoma's Official Rock Song is the culmination of a nearly two-year process. I don't think any of us involved anticipated just how tough this choice was going to be for both our panel of judges and the voting public. Each

Then he moved to North Florida, home of the Ospreys. Finally, he landed at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he coached the Kangaroos for seven seasons, six as the head man.UMKC hired a new athletic director, Tim Hall, in 2007. One of Hall's first acts of business was to dump Zvosec after a 12-20 season. In his b

• Anita Bryant is alive ... and up to her old tricks

  Like Satan, Anita Bryant keeps coming back.Some of y'all are, sadly, too young to remember the woman who might be the country's original celebrity right-winger -- a milder, sunnier and way-hotter precursor to Fred Phelps. Younguns who've seen the movie might recognize her as one of the villains in the Harvey Milk story. But those of us who are a certain age -- old enough to remember her impossible-to-forget commercials for Florida Orange Juice -- know the former Miss Oklahoma (and second runner-

• Honor Vodka honored with silver medal

  Last year Fat City called locally crafted Honor Vodka the wasabi of vodka and said it was "like swallowing a swath of silk with a torch tied to the end." Both comments were meant as compliments and it turns out real vodka judges agree. Lawrence-distilled Honor Vodka won a silver medal last week at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco, a blind-tasting where big and small companies compete directly against each other.The competition may not be a household name but carries a lot of weight

• 1819 Central Gallery Looking For Poster Artists

  We love music here at Wayward Blog (duh). We also love fliers, especially the eye-popping, visually intriguing ones that we feature as part of "flier of the week." ​Now, it's come to our attention that 1819 Central Gallery is going to do a show entitled "Mid America Manifesto," a poster artists' exhibit of work from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Nebraska. They've put out a call for artists, as they're taking on 30 or so poster designers and print makers for this show, and already

• And we're back ...

  The chiefs didn't lose Sunday. They also didn't play. Mercifully for us and them. But the Larry Johnson news didn't stop over the weekend. The Chiefs and LJ agreed on a settlement figure the troubled running back will give up during his suspension: $300,000. So LJ can keep bragging about having money -- but not for long if the Chiefs dump him. Arrowhead Pride compiled a couple of news reports (here and here) surveying NFL general managers, and none seem interested in a back that's nearly 30 and
