Friends say she hopped a Megabus to the Carbondale, IL area to attend the upcoming Rainbow Gathering Oct. 1. She may change her destination if she knows she is being looked for. She's supposedly traveling with 2 guys named Tim and Josh, both Caucasian, early 20s or late teens, one with a "cholo tear" tattoo near his eye. She's 5'5", 120#, reddish-blonde hair, long bangs and sidelocks, short in back, always wears her jean vest with studs and patches on it. She may be begging for spare change. If you see her, *please* contact me ( bifemmefatale@livejournal.com ) and the police! 16 is too young to be running around the country on her own. I'm very worried for her safety. Thanks in advance." — By

Hot on the heels of Obama's Labor Day speech - in which he pledged $50 billion for infrastructural development - is the latest edition of Civic Duty. Since FDR began the tradition during the Great Depression, recessions have precipitated large-scale civic building projects. This holds true for the global slump we're currently 'recovering' from: immigration centers, federal research buildings, and schools are in the works all over the world.
Just in time for the first day of school, here are our top ten picks for remarkable education design. — By

Now you can attend Zombie 101--although, technically, it's called English 333 at the University of Baltimore. The class will cover 16 zombie movies, from 1932's White Zombie to 2009's Zombieland, and will examine how the character of the zombie has evolved as a reflection of society. That's one class that might have kept me awake. — By

Yesterday XM Sirius POTUS discussed Infrastructure.
One of the callers was a civil engineer who suggested looking at the US Infrastructure Report Card which grade the US on a variety of factors.
The 2009 Grades include: Aviation (D), Bridges (C), Dams (D), Drinking Water (D-), Energy (D+), Hazardous Waste (D), Inland Waterways (D-), Levees (D-), Public Parks and Recreation (C-), Rail (C-), Roads (D-), Schools (D), Solid Waste (C+), Transit (D), and Wastewater (D-).
Overall, America's Infrastructure GPA was graded a "D." To get to an "A" requires a 5 year infrastructure investment of $2.2 Trillion dollars. Hence, you can understand if I am underwhelmed by the latest $50B proposal. — By

Boing Boing seems to follow the happenings related to Pirate Bay, so I figured I would share this. Snip from Article: "Police targeted 48 sites in countries including Britain, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Hungary.
Five of the arrests were in Belgium and the others were made in Norway and Sweden.
The suspects are the alleged leaders of four illegal file-sharing networks and they have been charged with hacking, piracy and computer fraud.
In Sweden, seven premises were raided including PRQ, which is believed to host Pirate Bay and whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.
Police made clear that the raids were unconnected to WikiLeaks." — By

"Real Bone - Tibetan Decorated Human Skulls & Skull Caps - The Bone Room just receive a stock of rare Kapalas - Tibetan decorated human skull caps, & Yamas - Tibetan decorated human skulls. While all the symbols refer to Tibetan Buddhism, they came out of China several years ago, and there is no easy way to know if they were made in China or Tibet. It is also not easy to know when they where made, but we would guess that they are not very old. Some of the symbols are inlaid in the skull with metal after which it is buffed and polished, some are carved into the bone, and the mandibles are secured onto the upper part of the skull at the TM joint unless otherwise noted" — By

A curious new web series is capturing some of the attention that has been building for The Social Network.

Berwyn, IL, generally considered a traditional, blue collar Chicago suburb, is in the midst of an aggressive marketing campaign to convince gays to move there. "That was the key demographic we were looking for," [head of the Berwyn Development Corp] told the Chicago Tribune. "Not the only demographic, but the key one." The Tribune noted that "[i]t has been well-established anecdotally and through academic research that an influx of gay or lesbian residents often boosts property values and can lead to improvements in the appearance of a community as well as the amenities it offers." — By
