====== NSDL Scout Reports ====
1. NSDL Scout Reports for the Life Sciences and Physical Sciences
The fifth issues of the third volumes of the Life Sciences Report and
Physical Sciences Report are available. The Topic in Depth section of Life
Sciences Report annotates sites on Maple Syrup ('tis the season). The
Physical Sciences Report's Topic in Depth section offers Web sites and
comments about Radiometric Dating.
====== Research and Education ====
2. Biological Diversity in Food and Agriculture
http://www.fao.org/biodiversity/index.asp?lang=en
Across the world, debates about the potential dangers of genetically
modified food and the importance of biological diversity continue to
dominate a good deal of public discourse, particularly with regard to
developing nations. This website, designed by the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations, explores some of the many issues
surrounding biodiversity in food and agriculture, with important sections
devoted to genetic resources, ecosystems, and the socio-economic impacts
upon this diversity. After reading the brief introduction, visitors may want
to peruse the socio-economics section, as it outlines some of the many
factors involved with this aspect of biological diversity, such as trade,
gender, and ethics. Each one of these sections contains a number of related
documents, such as "The role of women in the conservation of the genetic
resources of maize" and "Genetically Modified Organisms, Consumers, Foods
Safety, and the Environment." The website also contains the full text
versions of important Food and Agriculture Organization documents dating
back to 1993. [KMG]
3. Analysis of Alternative Financial Service Providers [pdf]
http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/410935_AltFinServProviders.pdf
In many urban areas around the United States, certain neighborhoods have
few, if any, traditional financial services available for local residents.
This intriguing report, produced by the Urban Institute Metropolitan Housing
and Communities Policy Center (for the Fannie Mae Foundation), explores the
alternative financial service providers (such as check-cashing outlets) that
some 56 million adults throughout the country use on a regular basis.
Authored by Noah Sawyer and Kenneth Temkin, this 34-page report looks
specifically at the alternative financial service market in eight diverse
demographic and regulatory environments, including Cook County in Illinois
and Miami-Dade County in Florida. The report contains five major findings,
including the observation that alternative providers tend to cluster in
neighborhoods with a higher share of minority and low-income residents, and
the more interesting discovery that neighborhoods often contain both
traditional banks and alternative providers, which casts some doubts about
existing hypotheses in the field. The report concludes with some questions
and suggestions for future research. [KMG]
4. United Nations Environment Programme: 8th Special Session of the
Governing Council [pdf]
http://www.unep.org/GC/GCSS-VIII/
In anticipation of the 8th Special Session of the Governing Council of the
Global Ministerial Environment Forum, the United National Environment
Programme has created this helpful website that brings together some of the
important preliminary documents dealing with the proceedings of the March
2004 conference in South Korea. The documents here include working briefing
documents, information documents, and papers dealing with the theme of the
environmental dimension of water, sanitation, and human settlements. While
some of these documents merely offer the provisional agenda for the
conference, others are quite relevant to broader concerns, such as the
"Overview of progress on international environment governance" and
"Prevention and control of dust and sandstorms in the north-east Asia."
Needless to say, many of the documents are available in English, Arabic,
Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish. The site also contains a direct link
to the conference website, which promises live webcasting of different
proceedings as they take place on March 29, 30, and 31st 2004. [KMG]
5. SIMBAD Astronomical Database [Java]
http://simbad.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/WSimbad.pl
"The SIMBAD astronomical database provides basic data, cross-
identifications, and bibliography for astronomical objects outside the solar
system." Created by the Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS)
in France, the website contains over three million objects, eight and a half
million identifiers, one hundred thousand bibliographical references, and
four million citations of objects in papers. The data can be searched by
object name, coordinates, filters, and by a list of objects. Researchers can
find help by visiting the user's guide and the regularly updated Dictionary
of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects. [RME] This site is also reviewed in
the March 5, 2004 _NSDL Physical Sciences Report_.
6. JURIST's Paper Chase
http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase/
As one of the many services provided by JURIST (housed at the University of
Pittsburgh's Law School), the Paper Chase provides up-to-date legal news for
lawyers, legal scholars, law students, and those with a general curiosity
about the law. The Paper Chase offers brief digests of current and ongoing
legal issues, including strong coverage of international law and events in
the U.S. Federal courts. The posts themselves are made by Professor Bernard
Hibbitts and different law students, and are also notable in that each
individual post may be sent via email or Instant Messenger to other
interested parties. Visitors may also browse the archives of the Paper
Chase, or elect to have the Paper Chase sent directly to their email address
daily. [KMG]
7. Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas
http://knightcenter.utexas.edu/index.php
Founded in 2002, the Knight Center for Journalism at the University of Texas
at Austin was created as a professional training and outreach program for
journalists throughout the Americas. During its first year of existence, the
Center focused its work on Brazil and Mexico and on establishing a series of
seminars and workshops to train journalists from these countries. Other work
involves working toward the establishment of an annual forum that will
assist various organizations dedicated to journalism training in Latin
America. From the website, visitors can learn more about the Center's
mission, read about recent stories about journalism in the Americas, and
subscribe to a weekly e-newsletter. One particularly valuable resource on
the site is the Journalism Studies Directory, which serves as a guide to
Spanish and Portuguese language resources on the internet dealing with
journalism throughout the Americas, such as associations, fellowships, and
relevant digital databases. [KMG]
8. A History of Concession Development in Yellowstone National Park, 1872-
1966 [pdf]
http://www.nps.gov/yell/history/concessions/index.htm
While millions of people visit Yellowstone National Park each year, very few
of them will actually pay detailed attention to the various concessions
offered around the area, unless of course they are unable to purchase
various sundries or crucial items. In this wholly engaging 153-page work,
author Mary Shivers Culpin (writing for the National Park Service's
Yellowstone Center for Resources), takes readers on a trip through the many
phases of concession provisioning and development within Yellowstone from
1872 to 1966. As she notes in the introduction to the work, "The main
purpose...is to develop a historic context in which to evaluate the
significant resources associated with concession development in the park."
In twelve well-honed chapters, Culpin explores the competitive concession
period that characterized the early 20th century in the park to the
problematic years during World War II. [KMG]
9. University of Hawaii: Impact of Alien Plants on Hawai'i's Native Biota
http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/cw_smith/impact.htm
This website presents a report prepared by Dr. Clifford W. Smith of the
University of Hawai'i regarding the Impact of Alien Plants on Hawai'i's
Native Biota. This report includes sections on Terminology, Impact of Alien
Plants on Hawaiian Ecosystems, Problem Alien Plants in Hawai'i by Island and
Vegetation Zone, and more. The website also includes an Abstract of the
report and an extensive list of Literature Cited. Notably, the report
contains a link to Plant Pests of Hawaiian Native Ecosystems, a list of
harmful alien plant species each linking to their own page containing photos
and a brief description. This website also links -- via the Hawaiian Alien
Plant Studies homepage -- to a site of photographs and text regarding the
Biological Control of Miconia calvescens, and a site on the Biological
Control of Guava, which is currently under construction. [NL] This site is
also reviewed in the March 5, 2003 _NSDL Life Sciences Report_.
====== General Interest ====
10. National Geographic: Crittercam
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/channel/crittercam/
What would it be like to be a harbor seal? Wouldn't it be fascinating to go
on the prowl with lions? With assistance from the National Science
Foundation and the National Geographic, Crittercam makes it possible, both
on television and on this fine website. The Crittercam device (which fits
safely and securely on animals) was initially conceived by Greg Marshall,
who got the idea after observing a remora clinging onto a shark off the
coast of Belize, and thought that it might be possible to attach a camera in
a similar fashion. From the main page, visitors can learn about the
Crittercam itself, and watch a number of clips of seals, lions, hawksbill
turtles, and humpback whales in their natural environments. Moving to the
Previews area, visitors can watch streaming clips from the television
program as well. Finally, visitors can also download a screen saver that
features a pilot whale. [KMG]
11. The Art and Politics of Arthur Szyk [RealOne Player]
http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/szyk/
This exhibition of works by Polish-born Jewish artist and activist Arthur
Szyk from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum presents over 40 pieces by
Szyk, dating from 1913 to 1949. There are book illustrations, pages from
Passover haggadahs, and scenes from the biblical Book of Esther. Also of
note are cartoons and caricatures from American newspapers and magazines
including the New York Post, Chicago Sun, Time, and Look. The visual images
are often accompanied by links to audio and video (for example, while
looking at the Szyk drawing on the cover of a program for We Will Never Die,
a pageant by Hollywood screenwriter Ben Hecht created as a memorial for the
Jewish dead of Europe, visitors can listen to an 11-minute excerpt of the
1943 Hollywood Bowl performance, or watch a few minutes of historical film
footage). Related articles and historical photographs appear throughout the
exhibition, and curators' commentaries. It is easy to get a little lost in
this wealth of material; clicking the link MORE Szyk will take you back to
the artindex, thumbnails and links to all the art work in the show. [DS]
12. Tessellations.org
http://www.tessellations.org/
When one thinks of tessellations, one may frequently think of the somewhat
surreal and at times claustrophobic renderings of the legendary M.C.Escher,
whose designs decorate many a college student's living space. Designed to
celebrate tessellations, this website is maintained by David Annal, who
himself has created a number of compelling patterns using tessellations, and
placed them on the site. Persons looking for some basic information about
tessellations should take a look at the Tessellations section, which
contains a brief description of this phenomenon, a biographical profile of
M.C. Escher, and several recommended books on the subject. The Galleries
area is worth a look, as it contains a number of Annal's own designs, such
as Foreign Legion, a number of tessellations by Escher, and a few submitted
by visitors to the site. The feature that is perhaps the most interesting
for aspiring artists is an instructional section on how to make
tessellations using a variety of methods and constructions. [KMG]
13. Collect Britain: English Accents and Dialects [RealOne Player]
http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/collections/dialects/
Over the past few years, Collect Britain has been placing hundreds of
thousands of documents, visual ephemera, sound recordings, and pieces of
material culture online for the general web-browsing public. This latest
addition is rather fascinating, as it documents the vast diversity of
accents and dialects around England over the past half century. The audio
clips made available here are drawn from the Survey of English Dialects
(conducted between 1950 and 1961 and in 313 localities) and the Millennium
Memory Bank, which drew on personal oral histories recorded by forty BBC
local radio stations during 1998 and 1999. The webpage begins with a text
introduction introducing visitors to the scope and methodology of the
collection and also includes a few of the Curator's Picks, such as one man's
recollection of sheep farming in Lancashire and the experience of baking
bread in Yorkshire -- recorded in 1955. Each audio clip is complemented by
complete information about the date each conversation was recorded, along
with a phonology, lexis, and grammar that indicates the linguistics of each
participants speech patterns and so on. [KMG]
14. University of Missouri in Brick and Mortar
http://www.missouri.edu/%7Eumcspace/historic/Histpreserv.htm
All college graduates have fond memories of their school's campus, whether
it be fine hours spent outside of a verdant green canvas in front of the Old
Main, or spent in an august brick stadium watching various athletic
endeavors. While some university and college websites offer brief tours of
their grounds and buildings, the University of Missouri, through its nice
University and Building and Infrastructure Archives, has created this
delightful website that presents the "construction history of the UMC
campus, one building at a time." The website presents the story of the built
environment around the campus by featuring a host of documents (such as
opening day programs, design plans, and other visual ephemera) for 43 of the
campus's 200 or so buildings. Visitors can browse the campus through an
interactive map, or choose structures from a drop-down menu, then move
through to look at various documents by date. Visitors to the site will want
to make sure to look at the excellent coverage of the campus's Memorial
Union, which includes documents that detail the building's construction from
1923 to 1926. Overall, this is a lovely site and may serve as a potential
template for institutions looking to embark on a similar project. [KMG]
15. The Bentley Collection of Snow Crystals
http://mail.ssec.wisc.edu/snow/
Truly living up to the title of America's First Cloud Physicist, Wilson
Alwyn Bentley grew up on a small farm in Vermont, and had a love of
knowledge instilled in him by his mother from a young age. As a boy he
developed an intense passion for studying and observing water in its many
forms. After spending a period of time drawing snowflakes, he began to take
photographs through a microscope. Throughout his life, he published numerous
articles about his work with ice crystals, and wrote emphatically about
these formations, noting that "A careful study of this internal structure
not only reveals new and far greater elegance of form that the simple
outlines exhibit, but by means of these wonderfully delicate and exquisite
figures much may be learned of the history of each crystal." As one might
surmise, Bentley made thousands of glass lantern slides of dew, frost, and
ice crystals, and part of this collection made its way to the University of
Wisconsin. 1183 of these slides have been placed online in this fine
archive, and visitors may browse them or search the archive by
classification (based on each crystal's structure). Be prepared, by clicking
the Find All button, all 1183 slides will begin to load at once, which may
slow your browsing down just a bit. The site is rounded out by an extended
biographical essay on Bentley and information about snow crystal
classification. [KMG]
16. Two on Sherman Alexie
Native American Authors: Sherman Alexie
http://www.ipl.org/div/natam/bin/browse.pl/A1
Modern American Poetry: Sherman Alexie
http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/a_f/alexie/alexie.htm
Emerging in the early 1990s as an important new literary voice, the poet and
author Sherman Alexie has garnered critical acclaim for his work, much of
which deals with the contemporary experience of being a Native American.
Alexie grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington, and later
discovered poetry in a writing workshop while in college at Washington State
University. The first site presented here is part of the Internet Public
Library, and contains a number of links to interviews with Alexie and
reviews of his numerous works. The second site is provided by the Modern
American Poetry project at the University of Illinois, and contains a number
of links to commentaries on Alexie's work, his own reflections on what it
means to be a Native American author, and growing up on "the rez." [KMG]

17. Opera 7.50 Beta 2 [Windows Operating System]
http://www.opera.com/download/
Opera has become a popular internet browser and email client as of late, and
this latest edition offers a number of helpful additions and bug fixes to
the previous editions. On this latest edition of Opera, users can use the
Note feature to take down a note related to a particular webpage, send the
note to others, or retain it for future reference. Of course, as with
previous editions, users can customize Opera with a number of different
skins. Opera 7.50 Beta 2 is compatible with all systems running Windows 98
and higher. [KMG]
18. JPluck 2.1.2
http://jpluck.sourceforge.net/
For those users who spend a lot of time with their hand-held PDA devices,
Jpluck is worth a look. The application converts websites in their entirety
for easy access and the ability to peruse and review information and
documents when it is not possible to be close to a laptop or desktop
computer. The site also contains a helpful FAQ section, and additional
materials about the application. The application is compatible with all
systems running Mac OS X and higher. [KMG]

Striscia la Notizia: Gabibbo [Windows Media Player]
http://www.striscialanotizia.it/gabibbo.htm
MascotNet
http://www.mascot.net
If pressed, most people would have a difficult time drawing immediate
connections between the caves and pleasant surroundings of south-central
Kentucky and the sometimes chaotic world of Italian television. As of late,
there is now a rather compelling connection between the two in the form of
the Western Kentucky University mascot, Big Red, and a popular Italian
television character, Gabibbo. The two creatures appear to bear more than a
passing resemblance to each other, and the lawyers for Western Kentucky
University (and the company that controls the Big Red trademark) have
travelled to Italy to file suit against Mediaset, the Italian television
company that produces the satirical television show "Striscia la Notizia"
(which translates roughly as Stretching the News) on which Gabibbo has
appeared since 1990. There is potentially quite a bit of money at stake, as
Gabibbo has been a famous television character in Italy for more than a
decade, and has had several chart-topping musical releases. In yet another
strange turn of events for the case, this week Mediaset announced that it
plans to countersue Steve Crossland (the head of the company that handles
the Big Red trademark for Western Kentucky University) for defamation.
Western Kentucky University may also have some potentially valuable evidence
based on an interview given by Gabibbo's creator, Antonio Ricci, to the
Italian magazine Novella 2000 in February 1991. In the interview Ricci noted
that the idea for the lovable red giant "...began with a photo, just as
happens with real adoptions. There was this mascot, his name was Big Red,
who was the mascot of a basketball team in America. The team is Western
Kentucky University." Regardless of this fact, it may be some time before
the case is heard in Italian court, as a decision was made this Thursday to
delay a preliminary hearing for one month.
The first link leads to a fine piece from the New York Times business
section that gives some background to the context about this ongoing
trademark legal battle. The second link will take visitors to a news item
from the Bowling Green (Kentucky) Daily News that talks about the journey of
Big Red (and his legal team) to Rome this past week. The third link will
lead visitors to an article from Newsday that describes the countersuit
filed by Mediaset against the legal representatives of Western Kentucky
University. The fourth link will take visitors to the Big Red webpage
offered by Western Kentucky University that talks about this furry
creature's numerous accolades, including standout performances in the Battle
of the Mascots contests sponsored by ESPN. The fifth link will take visitors
to the webpage of the tuxedo shirt-clad Gabibbo, which includes links to his
songs (under the link Le canzoni). Here visitors can listen to some of his
well-known numbers, including such favorites as Sirenone and Formaggi
Selvaggi. After reading about the fractious world of mascots, many readers
will appreciate the final link, which leads to MascotNet. At the site
(devoted to the extensive world of mascots and mascot management), visitors
can learn about how to become a mascot, share information about helpful
props for performances at community events and arenas, and helpful
techniques for working with children and motivating a crowd. [KMG]
