Arianna Huffington: Postcards From Third World America

2010-09-08-crowdsourcing.jpg

Arianna Huffington: The response to our idea of crowdsourcing part of my book tour has been remarkable. Some of the submissions suggesting a particular group, school, or community organization read like postcards from Third World America. Kelly Gallaher made the case for an event in Racine, Wisconsin, where "the unemployment rate within the urban areas is easily close to 50 percent," and HuffPost user shylocxs, an associate professor at East Tennessee State University, tells of students who seek a "college degree so they can get a good local job rather than working in McDonald's and take care of their families. And some of them still end up working in McDonald's." We are going to continue taking submissions for another week, so click here and hit the big blue "Participate" button to tell us about your group and why you think an event in your area would be useful.

Raymond J. Learsy: America in the Caboose While the World Barrels Ahead on High Speed Rail

Do we really need to focus on 150,000 miles of roads? They must be popping champagne bottles in the corner offices of the oil industry and at OPEC headquarters. What is it that our government doesn't get?

Kristin Conklin: For the Future of Higher Education, Keep Your Eye on Toledo

The U.S. is a leader in higher education spending, but ranks only 10th among developed nations in its proportion of younger adults with college degrees. The U.S. is simply not getting enough value out of the money it spends.
