  What you missed, Airwaves S.O.S., Great Googley-Moogley!, Moth Problems, More

  Headlines are back after a brief vacation. Here’s a quick recap of what you missed:

  1.) There is still a presidential election in November and you still have thousands of mind-numbing political ads to be subjected to.
  2.) The news media has nothing better to cover than the alleged sexual three-way of the former N.J. governor.
  3.) J.P. Morgan bought Bear Stearns for two dollars a share showing that companies can now merge together with the help of a script writer and coreographer.
  4.) A tornado ripped through Atlanta.
  5.) The nation was shocked when New York governor Elliot Spitzer was discovered to be using the services of a (gasp) prostitute - crossing the fine line of politics and ethics which sent the media and an entire civilization into a frenzy.
  6.) St. Patrick’s Day gave millions of Americans a reason to drink other than the state of the economy and primetime television.
  7.) There is still violence in Tibet. The Chinese are still killing Tibetans. The Tibetans are rioting. The Dalai Lama may resign as Tibet’s head of state. America and CNN thinks N.J. governor three-way story is more important.

  B.W Cooper Safe, For the Time Being

  “A day of demolition for the B.W. Cooper housing complex was stopped today by three local housing activists who chained themselves to the facilities as the bulldozers were getting ready to continue tearing down the 1,000-unit complex. After attempting to start work for an hour, bulldozer operators gave up for the day when the three activists – Jamie “Bork” Loughner, Elizabeth Cook, and Joy Kohler – refused to leave.Spacing: Montreal

  Noise Pollution Plagues Ho Chi Minh City

  Stepping outside most international airports brings you from a world of relative calm into your first direct encounter with a foreign environment.

However, leaving Tan Son Nhat Airport, the unseasoned visitor soon learns of one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most inhospitable features –…

  Boston’s Youthful Urban Planners

  “When middle school students from Roslindale teamed up with architects from Boston’s Gund Partnership to brainstorm ways to improve the Jackson Square MBTA Station on the Orange Line, the architects got an earful.

  The program, sponsored by Citizen Schools Boston, was created to give minority and low-income students the knowledge that they have a voice in the development of their neighborhoods, and in particular, their T stations. Many of the students…

  Streetcar or Light Rail? It’s All in the Name

  “It bugs me that such an awkward, engineering-specific term — light rail — has become the common one for the trains that run on fixed rails with overhead electric wires that have been built in dozens of cities across the United States. (The term comes from the fact that light rail is an alternative to “heavy rail” systems — subways or inter-city trains that weigh more and can carry more people.) I support the mass transit systems,…

  New Study Blasts Immigrants

  “A new report by the Center for Immigration Studies, which promotes limiting immigration, argues that the current levels hurt the country. Foreign-born adults have less education than native-born citizens and raise the rates of poverty, welfare use and lack of medical insurance, says Steven Camarota, the center’s director of research. Critics say the study overlooks immigrant contributions. Dowell Myers, a professor of urban planning and demography at the…
