Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
What, Me Worry? Young Adults Get Self-esteem Boost From Debt ~ Further proof that most college campuses are reality-free zones.
(I guess 14 Trillion in U.S. debt should make us feel… like a TRILLION bucks!)
 
Chicago Police Brace for ‘Flash Mob’ Attacks ~ Might want to put off that getaway weekend to Chicago for a while.
 
Teach kids self-control, say NZ experts ~ It takes “experts” to re-discover common sense? (Too bad no one taught the Chicago Flash Mobs self-control…guess it would have been too damaging to their self-esteem.)
 
Weight of book collection damaging house ~ Whoa – I thought I had a lot of books!
 
Eric Whitacre: A virtual choir 2,000 voices strong ~ Very unique and inspiring. The “virtual choir” sings around the 12 minute mark on the video, but listening to Eric describe the project is well worth the time.
