One of the missing items is the live black footed ferret cam at the National Zoo.
Black footed ferrets are the rarest of the rare and several breeding programs are underway. This mom had her kit around May 29. You will need WMP (use Explorer) to view.

Found Magazine was mentioned on the current edition of This American Life. Glimpses into the lives of others through "found" things - notes, photos, etc...
Go there and hunt around ... trust me.

Hendrik Hertzberg has a pointed essay in the June 9 issue of the New Yorker
from the essay ...
In a way, Iraq has become a theme park of conservative policy nostrums. There are no burdensome government regulations. Health and safety inspectors and environmental busybodies are nowhere to be seen. The Ministry of Finance, Iraq's equivalent of the Internal Revenue Service, is a scorched ruin. Museums and other cultural institutions, having been largely emptied of their contents, no longer have much use for public subsidies. Gun control is being kept within reasonable limits. (Although the occupying authorities are trying to discourage possession of heavy munitions, AK-47s and other assault weapons - guns of the type whose manufacture Tom DeLay and most of the House Republicans plan to re-legalize back home - have been given a pass.) And, in the absence of welfare programs and other free-lunch giveaways, faith-based initiatives are flourishing. The faith in question may be Iranian-style militant Shiism, but at least it's fundamentalist.
