====== A Note to our Readers ====
1. Alert About Network Tools
In the January 9th issue of the Scout Report, a software package called
"Free History Cleaner" was reviewed. It has since been brought to our
attention that this package may install additional unwanted software
intended to display advertisements (AKA "adware") along with the intended
functionality, and that the "uninstall" feature of the software may not
remove all of this unwanted software. The Internet Scout Project would like
to apologize to our readers for any inconvenience caused by this review.
While Scout editors strive to research and report on the very best the web
has to offer, sometimes problems like this can slip through; thus, caution
and regular backups are always in order when installing any new software
package. Information on removing Free History Cleaner (and the associated
adware) can be found at:
http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/freehistorycleaner/ Our thanks
to the readers who brought this issue to our attention.

The fourth issue of the third volume of the MET Report is available. Its
Topic in Depth section offers Web sites and comments about GIS.
====== Research and Education ====
3. Accessibility in Distance Education [RealOne Player, pdf]
http://www.umuc.edu/ade/
As more and more universities and colleges continue to experiment with
various forms of distance education, there is a heightened sense of
responsibility that various online materials be accessible to those persons
with disabilities. The Access in Distance Education (ADE) website, supported
by the NEC Foundation of America and Verizon Foundation, has been designed
to "meet the needs of faculty teaching students with disabilities in the
online environment." Based in the Office of Distance Education and Lifelong
Learning at the University of Maryland, the site both explains accessibility
problems that may be faced by students with disabilities and also helps them
develop solutions within their course websites. The site is divided into a
number of sections, dealing with topic such as What is accessibility?, Legal
Issues, Understanding Disabilities and a How-to section. The section
devoted to legal issues spells out the legislation that requires faculty
members to provide such assistance, and also offers a brief five question
quiz to test their working knowledge about such laws. In terms of pragmatic
information, the Best Practices area of the site contains several well-honed
examples of how to adapt various course materials for effective use by those
with disabilities. [KMG]

4. British Library: Caxton's Chaucer
http://www.bl.uk/treasures/caxton/homepage.html
Buried in Poets Corner in Westminster Abbey, Geoffrey Chaucer was
responsible for the much-loved Canterbury Tales, a clutch of stories (many
of them quite bawdy and frank in their depiction of life in the medieval
period) told by pilgrims on their journey to the holy site of Canterbury in
Kent. This rather engaging website presented by the British Library features
two rather famous editions of the Tales, as published by William Caxton in
Britain around the year 1476 and 1483. Before taking a look at the works
themselves, visitors may want to peruse the Background section which
discusses Caxton's life, or take a look at a timeline that offers some
historical perspective on Chaucer and these different printed versions of
this immensely popular work. Of course, visitors must take a look at the two
versions of the Tales offered here, which include full-text transcripts, a
page enlargement function, and of course, printable versions of each page.
[KMG]
5. Postmodern Culture
http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/pmc/
Somehow it is not surprising that a journal titled Postmodern Culture would
find a home on the Internet, which itself is a bricoleur of many different
forms and styles, akin to the very notion of postmodernism. Located online
since 1990, Postmodern Culture "has become the leading electronic journal of
interdisciplinary thought on contemporary cultures." The journal itself is
published by The Johns Hopkins University Press, with assistance by the
University of Virginia and Vassar College. Visitors to the site can browse
the entire contents of the current volume, and may browse through the text-
only archive, which is also made available here. The current edition
contains pieces by Chris Bongie titled "Exiles on Main Stream: Valuing the
Popularity of Postcolonial Literature" and a trenchant exchange by Leonard
Wilcox and Brad Butterfield on "Baudrillard, September 11, and the Haunting
Abyss of Reversal." [KMG]
6. World Bank: Globalization [pdf, RealOnePlayer]
http://www1.worldbank.org/economicpolicy/globalization/
The word globalization is thrown around with reckless abandon by numerous
parties these days, and as a result, the very notion of such a force is
somewhat elusive. While this website from the World Bank may not end all of
the fierce academic and pragmatic debates that rage on about globalization,
it does offers some perspective from this organization on this wide-ranging
phenomenon. The site itself contains audio and video selections, issue
briefs, a data and statistics section, and an area dedicated to current
research on the subject underway by the World Bank. The issue briefs are
definitely worth a look as they address such questions as What is
Globalization? and Does More International Trade Openness Increase World
Poverty? The selection of videos is also quite nice, particularly a recent
talk by Michael Moore (the former director-general of the World Trade
Organization) entitled Globalization & Development: Its Implications &
Institutions. [KMG]
7. USGS National Water-Quality Assessment Program [pdf]
http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/
Since its inception in 1991, the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment
(NAWQA) program has been collecting and analyzing data about more than 50
major river basins and aquifers across the United States. The core mission
is "to develop long-term consistent and comparable information on streams,
ground water, and aquatic ecosystems to support sound management and policy
decisions." Visitors can begin by selecting one of over 50 research sites
from a drop-down menu of states, or by looking at research activities by
river basin. The main homepage for the NAWQA also contains a section that
explains how and why water quality varies across the country by discussing
the various elements, such as pesticides and nutrients, that contribute to
the quality of various water sources. Of course, the site also features a
number of more technical reports on water quality, including detailed
information about each basin area. As might be expected, the site also
offers a glossary of frequently used terms within the fields of water
chemistry and hydrology, and also contains a What's New section that
contains announcements about the release of new reports, fact sheets, and
upcoming conferences of note. [KMG]
8. Free GIS Data
http://data.geocomm.com/
This online resource for GIS and geospatial data has compiled data from a
wide range of GIS Web sites located on the Internet. Some of the data is
free once you set up a user account to be part of the GeoCommunity, with
additional data available for a fee using the Premium option. Downloading
may require the user to be proficient in GIS and own relevant software.
Download options include: Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) Data, USGS Digital
elevation Models (DEM), Digital Orthophotos (DOQ/DOQQ), and FEMA Flood Data.
Bundles of data available for purchase include: VECTOR MAP (VMap) Level 1,
National Wetlands Inventory, TIGER Data & U.S. Census Resources, data by
individual states in the U.S. as well as data on countries around the globe.
The majority of the datasets are in ARC/INFO E00, SHP, DLG, TIGER, and DEM
formats. [VF] This site is also reviewed in the February 13, 2004 _NSDL MET
Report_.
9. PBS: In Search for Shakespeare [RealOnePlayer]
http://www.pbs.org/shakespeare/
Ben Jonson's now legendary epitaph for William Shakespeare ("He was not of
an age, but for all time"), has become part of the common lore surrounding
the man who is arguably the most famous playwright of all time. Numerous
documentaries exist focusing on the Immortal Bard, but this new four-part
series from PBS (with this accompanying website), represents the first time
that a full-scale life of William Shakespeare has been attempted on TV.
There's a great deal on the site of interest, but it's perhaps best to start
with the Shakespeare Dossier, which has been painstakingly researched by the
documentary's investigative team. Through this rather comprehensive
timeline, users will be able to learn about the key details that shaped
Shakespeare's life, and follow hypertext links to learn about the places and
people that were an integral part of the his life as well. As users explore
the timeline, they will notice additional clickable icons above the main
timeline, allowing them access to a glossary of relevant terms from the
Elizabethan period, links to full-text versions of the Bard's works, and an
interactive map of 16th century England. Along with these many delightful
features, visitors simply must try the Playwright Game feature, where they
are swept into the heady world of the 16th century playwrighting world, and
must make hard decisions about the central themes of their various plays.
The site concludes with a multitude of educational resources for teachers
seeking to inculcate an appreciation of Shakespeare in their students. [KMG]
10. Canada e-Book -- Statistics Canada [RealOne Player]
http://142.206.72.67/r000_e.htm
While it would be hard to adequately encapsulate one country in a single
website, the Canadian government offers a nice introduction to the diversity
within itself through the Canada e-book homepage. The site is divided into
four primary sections: The Land, The People, The Economy, and The State.
Clicking on each one of these sections brings users to a list of detailed
subtopics. Each subtopic contains a brief essay offering a broad overview of
such areas as primary industries, the climate, and trade. Although this is
not an uncommon approach for this type of site, these textual materials are
supplemented by a toolbar above each essay containing icons that, when
clicked, will bring up supplemental tables, graphs, further reading
materials, audio clips, and photographs. Some of these audio clips include
reflections on the educational structure of Canada, indigenous peoples, and
Canada's different cultural traditions, such as the innovative Cirque du
Soleil. [KMG]
====== General Interest ====
11. Sixbillion.org [RealOne Player, Macromedia Flash Reader]
http://www.sixbillion.org/
With a title that references the current (yet ever-increasing) world
population, Sixbillion.org is officially "an online magazine of narrative
journalism," yet it offers quite a lot more by virtue of its ambit.
Sponsored by individual donations, the magazine was founded by Nathan Duel
and Kelly McEvers, and as yet has just two issues. The theme of the second
issue (which is currently featured on the site) is Veterans of Foreign Wars,
and is divided into six pieces, each one represented by a particular medium
of expression (i.e. text, film or video, sound, illustration, and so on).
Specifically, there is a photo essay by Chris Sims (who follows a U.S. Army
recruiter in North Carolina), a moving film by Rithy Panh who confronts a
Cambodian rice farmer who led executions during the reign of the Khmer
Rouge, and an interactive feature on the practices surrounding the deaths
of Palestinian shaheeds -- or martyrs in the Middle East. Wholly engrossing,
the site also features a place where visitors may sign up to receive email
updates. [KMG]
12. The Library of Congress: The Zora Neale Hurston Plays
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/znhhtml/znhhome.html
The Library of Congress presents digital versions of ten plays written by
Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) that were deposited at the U.S. Copyright
Office between 1925 and 1944, and remained unpublished and mostly unproduced
until they were rediscovered in 1997. Play titles such as De Turkey and de
Law: A Comedy in Three Acts; Lawing and Jawing; and Polk County: A Comedy of
Negro Life on a Sawmill Camp with Authentic Negro Music all reflect
Hurston's life experience, travels, and especially her study of folklore in
the African-American South. The web version consists of seven-hundred pages
of images, so users see the original typescript plays, as well as a hand-
drawn stage set in one of the plays -- Spunk, act 1, scene 2. Browse by
title, or perform a keyword search across bibliographic records for the
plays. There is also an illustrated chronology of Hurston's life, and links
to other Hurston materials at Library of Congress. [DS]
13. The Ad Council: Campaigns That Have Made a Difference [RealOne Player]
http://www.adcouncil.org/campaigns/historic_campaigns/
Since 1942, the Ad Council has created some of the most enduring public
service advertisements. The advertisements have manifested themselves on
television, the radio, and in print, and some of these campaigns have become
icons that have lasted many decades. Their campaigns have also introduced
some rather familiar slogans into American culture, such as Smokey Bear's
Only You can Prevent Forest Fires and Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk.
At this website, visitors can peruse a list of milestones in Ad Council
History, which include such events as the launch of the first campaign (for
war savings bonds) in 1942 and the introduction of Vince and Larry, the
crash-test dummies in 1985. Along with viewing print ads for these (and many
more) campaigns, visitors can also view some well-known television spots,
including those dealing with AIDS and McGruff the Crime Dog. [KMG]
14. Campfire Stories with George Catlin [Macromedia Flash Reader, QuickTime]
http://catlinclassroom.si.edu/
Understanding the broad legacy left by various interpreters of the Native
American way of life, such as artist George Catlin or the photographer
Edward S. Curtis, can be puzzling and rather difficult at times. Drawing on
the fine collection of paintings and sketches by Catlin held by the
Smithsonian American Art Museum, this multifaceted online exhibit and
educational tool offers interpretations and commentary on Catlin's artworks
from a diverse set of individuals, including those of curator Peter
Matthiessen, Emery Battis (reading Catlin's own words), and several
contemporary Native American leaders and artists. The site is divided into
four thematic sections, including one on the conflict between the European
American concept of land as contrasted with the communal resource approach
taken by Native Americans. Each of these sections includes a selection of
carefully selected works by Catlin, and audio commentaries by art
historians, contemporary Native Americans (such as Wilma Man Killer, the
first female chief of the Cherokee Nation), and of course, Catlin himself,
whose words are narrated by Emery Battis. Other real gems available here
include digitized images of Catlin's notebooks, which include transcripts of
each page. [KMG]
15. Modern Language Association: What's the Word? [RealOne Player]
http://www.mla.org/radio
Sponsored by the Modern Language Association, the What's the Word? Radio
program was first broadcast in April 1997, and is now aired in thirty states
and carried overseas by Armed Forces Radio and Radio New Zealand. The aim of
the program is "to show how the study of language and literature enriches
people's lives." Visitors to this site can browse previous programs by date,
or by the last name of participants on the show over the past few years. The
shows themselves have quite interesting themes such as those past programs
on coming-of-age narratives, Anglophone Canadian writers, movie versions of
Hamlet, and food in literature. The list of participants from past programs
is quite impressive, and has included such luminaries as Robert Scholes,
Angela Y. Davis, and Houston Baker.
16. TLC.com: The Lost Ark
http://tlc.discovery.com/convergence/ark/ark.html
>From its very emergence within the pages of the Old Testament, the Ark of
the Covenant has been imbued with a certain enigmatic quality and has
subsequently been the subject of more than a few fervent searches, including
one that took place within a rather speculative major Hollywood movie. This
interesting website from The Learning Channel takes visitors through the
Ark's interesting history and construction, and (of course), discusses the
myriad theories about where the Ark may be today. The site also includes an
interactive feature where visitors may learn more about how the Ark may have
functioned as an ancient electrical device, and a virtual tour of King
Solomon's Temple, which served as the home of the Ark. The site is rounded
out by a selection of related website links. [KMG]
17. Bright Lights Film Journal
http://www.brightlightsfilm.com
Initially started as a print journal in 1974, the online publication of
Bright Lights Film Journal began in 1996, and continues to today. As noted
on its site, the journal is "a popular-academic hybrid of movie analysis,
history, and commentary, looking at classic and commercial, independent,
exploitation, and international film from a wide range of vantage points
from the aesthetic to the political." The journal is edited by Gary Morris,
and contains pieces by a number of persons, including independent writers,
film critics, and freelance journalists. While users can browse the archives
dating back to 1996, the articles are also thematically organized on a
sidebar on the homepage. These themes include Animation, Hong Kong Films,
Documentaries, and Film Noir. The interviews section is quite strong, and
contains candid pieces with Frederico Fellini, Robert Wise, and John Woo.
[KMG]
====== Network Tools ====
18. Photo2Album Free Edition 8.03 [Windows Operating System]
http://www.photo2album.com/
>From those who have yet to compile a set of photographs from the holiday
season, this nice application may be just the tool for teh job. This edition
of Photo2Album allows users to create email-sized photo albums with ease.
This free edition does come with some restrictions, primarily that only five
pages can be created within each album, and only three sets of email-sized
photo albums can be created in total. That being said, the program is still
quite useful, and the website also includes a short demonstration of how the
application works and several sample albums for consideration. Photo2Album
Free Edition 8.03 is compatible with all systems running Windows 98 and
higher. [KMG]
19. Books 2.0.2 [Macintosh Operating System]
http://books.aetherial.net/archives/000769.html
Books 2.0.2 is a good application for those out there seeking to add some
sense of order to their extensive collection of books. Using this
application, users can store, sort, and search their own virtual card
catalog of their personal library. The application makes it simple to enter
new books, edit the information of older books, and sort the books by
various attributers, such as title or author. Books 2.0.2 is compatible with
all systems running Mac OS X 10.3 or higher. [KMG]

The End of Poverty: An Interview with Muhammad Yunus
http://www.globalenvision.org/library/4/527/6/
In 1976, Dr. Muhammad Yunus lent a small amount of money (approximately $27)
to a group of 42 women near his home in the port city of Chittagong in
Bangladesh. Out of this rather inauspicious beginning, the roots were
planted for the Grameen Bank (Grameen means village in Bengali), an
organization that has made over $4 billion in small loans to poor
Bangladeshis in an effort to provide credit, or more accurately microcredit,
to persons unable to receive this type of assistance from traditional banks.
The Grameen Bank is in the spotlight this week as a high-profile regional
summit on micocredit (which will feature visits from Queen Sofia of Spain
and talks by Dr. Yunus), is convened in Dhaka on February 16. The summit on
microcredit will involve serious discussion about how to bring 100-million
poor persons around the world under the microfinance program by the year
2005. While Dr. Yunus has been criticized by some in the banking community
as merely performing a type of glorified charity work, he remains confident
about his rather successful efforts noting, "I don't care if the rich get
rich. It doesn't bother me. They should get richer. I'm worried about the
poor getting poorer and not getting richer."
The first link leads to a recent news story from _The New Nation_ newspaper
about the continued efforts of the Grameen Bank to improve the lives of the
rural poor throughout Bangladesh. The second link leads to a news piece from
The Daily Star about the upcoming microcredit summit that commences on
February 16 in Dhaka. The third link will take visitors to the homepage of
the Palli Karma-Sahayek Foundation, which was set up by the Bangladeshi
government in 1990 in order to assist in the alleviation of persistent
poverty. The Foundation is also responsible for organizing the upcoming Asia
Pacific Regional Microcredit Summit, and ample information on this important
event is provided here as well. The fourth link will take visitors to the
homepage of the Microcredit Summit Campaign, which is dedicated to providing
credit assistance to 100-million of the world's poorest families by 2005.
Additionally, visitors can read the most recent "State of the Microcredit
Summit Campaign" Report here at their leisure. The fifth link leads to the
homepage of the Grameen Bank, and provides detailed updates about the
progress of its work and overall mission. The final link provided here will
take visitors to an extended interview with Dr. Muhammad Yunus conducted by
Sarah Van Galder of the Global Vision group. [KMG]
