1. NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology
The seventh issue of the second volume of the MET Report is available. Its
Topic in Depth section offers Web sites and comments about Google's IPO.
====== Research and Education ====
2. OECD Nuclear Energy Agency [pdf]
http://www.nea.fr/
Based in Paris, the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is a specialized agency
within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
whose mission is to assist its member countries in "maintaining and further
developing, through international co-operation, the scientific,
technological and legal bases required for the safe, environmentally
friendly and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes." At the
site, visitors can download various policy papers, obtain basic facts about
nuclear power and development in the member countries, and read the latest
press releases from the NEA. The homepage also serves as a basic
introduction to the current activities of the organization, such as the
upcoming International Youth Nuclear Congress, its work on nuclear
legislation in Eastern Europe, and its latest reports on such timely topics
as the regulatory control of radioactive waste management. Visitors may also
opt to sign up to receive the latest publications and newsletters from the
NEA electronically on this site. [KMG]
3. World Bank: Anticorruption [pdf[
http://www1.worldbank.org/publicsector/anticorrupt/index.cfm
In its many different guises, corruption around the world tends to affect
the poor, who are often the most reliant on the provision of public
services, and are also least likely to be able to pay the extra costs
associated with bribery and fraud. The World Bank has identified corruption
as "the single greatest obstacle to economic and social development," and
thusly has set up this anticorruption website to serve as an online resource
for policy-makers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other
interested parties. On the site, the World Bank lays out its strategy for
combating corruption, which includes increasing political accountability,
strengthening civil society participation, and improving public sector
management. The site also contains a number of helpful resources, such as
toolkits for assessing government performance in this area, and information
and reports on various regional and country-based approaches to dealing with
corruption. The site is rounded out by a calendar of events and key strategy
documents, such as "Reforming Public Institutions and Strengthening
Governance, A World Bank Strategy." [KMG]
4. How to Influence States: Socialization and International Human Rights
Law [pdf]
http://www.law.uchicago.edu/academics/publiclaw/resources/62-Jinks.pdf
Authored by Ryan Goodman and Derek Jinks, this working paper from the
University of Chicago's Public Law and Legal Theory Working Paper series was
published first in March 2004, and is due to appear later this year in the
Duke Law Journal. In its 57-pages, the paper deals with the ways in which
states might effectively change their human rights regime based on various
processes of socialization where so-called "bad actors" might be persuaded
to incorporate globally legitimated models of state behavior and, on the
other side of the coin, how "good actors" might also be persuaded to act
better. The paper begins by discussing three mechanisms of social influence,
namely coercion, persuasion, and acculturation, then continues on to discuss
the nature of conditional membership, the precision of obligations, and
concludes with a section on implementation. [KMG]
5. A Civil War Soldier in the Wild Cat Regiment
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/tcrhtml/tcrhome.html
Born in Winslow Township, Pennsylvania in 1843, Tilton C. Reynolds was a
member of the 105th Regiment Pennsylvania at the tender age of 17 and served
admirably throughout the Civil War for four years. This particular online
collection (which includes 164 items) offers a look into "the lives of a
Union soldier and members of his family during the Civil War," and includes
letters that deal with the feelings of his family, his capture by
Confederate troops, and various opinions on slavery and the election of
1864. The website includes a timeline that details the history of the 105th
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers and a detailed profile of the entire
Reynolds family. As with previous American Memory collections, the contents
of this collection can be searched by keyword, document title, subject, and
name. [KMG]
6. Two on Animal Encounters [RealOne Player]
Fruit Fly Fight Club
http://labworks.hms.harvard.edu/
The Kravitz Lab Movie Page
http://www.hms.harvard.edu/bss/neuro/kravitz/moviepage.html
Conflict and violence, regrettably, seem to be a commonplace element of the
human condition, with certain epochs bearing witness to more of these two
phenomena and, some bearing witness to a relatively absence of these
behaviors. In an attempt to explain the biological factors behind such
behaviors, Professor Edward Kravitz and his colleagues at Harvard University
have created this witness which features fruit flies in intense combat in
order to study these types of behaviors. On the first site, visitors can
watch fruit flies in combat, listen to Professor Kravitz talk about the
impetus and reasoning behind such experiments, and learn more about these
extremely compelling studies. The second site leads to another set of
dramatic short films that document lobster fights and lobster "martial arts.
" Of course, information on the various fights are "scored" is also
provided, along with video clips demonstrating the different phases of each
encounter. [KMG]
7. NOVA: World in the Balance
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/worldbalance/
Taking as its focus the deceptively simple questions, How has the world's
population changed over time? and How will it change in the future?, this
engaging website (designed as a companion to the television program)
developed by NOVA explores both of these queries through a set of
interviews, interactive features, and additional resources, such as weblinks
and guides for teachers. The interviews are enlightening, and feature
transcripts of conversations with Ding Yihui on climate change in China,
Geeta Rao Gupta on the status of women in India, and Lester Brown on
population growth. The section on population control campaigns and family
planning are particular nice, as they profile, through brief essays and
posters, the attempts of India, China, and Kenya to promote these policies.
As mentioned, the interactive features are very well-though out, and allow
visitors to examine the growth of the human population from the year zero to
2050 and to take a quiz on population trends and environmental challenges.
[KMG]
8. Newsmap
http://www.marumushi.com/apps/newsmap/newsmap.cfm
It is sometimes difficult to construct various ways to fully understand how
parts of the world report (or fail to report) on various ongoing events or
phenomena, and there has been a certain hand-wringing within the journalism
profession about lack of coverage of certain events. Utilizing a treemap
visualization algorithm, Newsmap is an application that visually reflects
"the constantly changing landscape" of the Google News news aggregator. As
this information is displayed visually, this format is able to "reveal
underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news
segments in constant change across the globe." By customizing the Newsmap
application, users can look at various news sectors (such as world, nation,
business, technology, sports, entertainment and health), and toggle through
the various coverage provided by different countries throughout the world.
Although it is quite graphic intensive, this site is one that will be worth
visiting multiple times and may be of particular interest to those in the
fields of journalism and international studies. [KMG]
====== General Interest ====
9. Bodie, CA
http://www.bodie.com/
Held in a state of arrested decay, the ghost town of Bodie, California is
one of the best known ghost towns in the United States. As with many a small
town in the western part of the country, the town was part of the boom and
bust cycle that was emblematic of the raucous world of mineral extraction,
and as the gold in the region came and went, so did most of the residents of
Bodie. This whole cycle began for Bodie in 1859, when a substantial quartz
ledge was located in the region, along with significant deposits of gold. In
1962, the state of California took over what remained of the town in order
to create a state historic park, and today approximately 200 structures
remain on the site. At the website, visitors can take a photographic tour
throughout many of these buildings (with some lovely interior photos as
well), peruse a timeline of the town's fortunes, and take a virtual tour of
the Bodie cemetery. For persons interested in visiting Bodie, there is some
helpful tips on nearby amenities and services. [KMG]
10. James Joyce: The Brazen Head
http://www.themodernword.com/joyce/index.html
Enjoy a pint with James Joyce at the Brazen Head Public House, brought to
you by Modern Word. Described by site organizer Allen Ruch as "...a ball of
electronic twine to aid you in your travels through the labyrinth of
Dedalus," the site includes core Joycean resources -- works, quotes,
biography, and criticism -- as well as links to James Joyce clubs and
mailing lists, news, and photographs. For example, see the Essential Canon
(under Works) to find advice to the reader, synopses, and how to purchase
one of the many annotated and UN-annotated editions of Joyce's major works:
_Dubliners_, _A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man_, _Ulysses_, and
_Finnegans Wake_. Perhaps the most fun portion of the site is the quotes,
words by and about Joyce, such as these from _Finnegan's Wake_, "Tis as
human a little story as paper could well carry" -- or the web for that
matter. [DS]
11. The IDE Virtual Design Museum
http://www.io.tudelft.nl/public/vdm/
Many of the common objects in our everyday world (such as kitchen timers,
telephones, and answering machines), seem to go unnoticed until someone
wonders out loud: "I wonder who designed that?" Fortunately, the good people
at the Delft University of Technology's Faculty of Industrial Design have
created this virtual design museum to answer that exact question, and to
take visitors on a tour of some intriguing designs created by European and
American designers over the past decades. Visitors are free to browse
through the Famous Designers section which features the work of such icons
as Raymond Loewy, Ferdinand Porsche, and Mario Bellini. Each entry includes
a selection of images of some of the most celebrated designs, and in several
cases a short biographical sketch is available. Visitors may also elect to
look through the Famous Companies area, which brings together work by such
companies as Bang & Olufsen, Braun, Grundig, and IBM. Those with only a few
minutes will want to peruse such objects as Dieter Rams' design for a table
top cigarette lighter for the Braun Company in 1970 and Aldo Rossi's 1995
coffee pot from the table service "il Faro." [KMG]
12. Masters of Cinema
http://www.mastersofcinema.org/
While it is relatively easy to find information on the latest romantic
comedy vehicle from 20th Century Fox or the latest apocalyptic disaster from
Warner Brothers, finding substantial material online about quality foreign
films and classics of various cinematic movements is a bit trickier.
Fortunately for cineastes, there is the Masters of Cinema website, which
provides links to information about DVD releases of such films, along with
articles about their technical specifications and clarion calls to the
companies providing such releases. From their mainpage, visitors can learn
about upcoming releases, read articles about such auteurs as Bruno Dumont
and view wish lists from well-known film critics as Jonathan Rosenbaum of
the Chicago Reader. The site also has a nice links page, which is divided
topically into areas such as directors, online cinema writing, and DVD
review pages. [KMG]
13. Starcade [Shockwave, QuickTime]
http://starcade.tv/Starcade/starframe.htm
Though there are many individuals who would rather that the 1980s had never
happened, it is a verifiable fact that they did, and the decade certainly
left behind a veritable treasure trove of cultural artifacts that are now
being discovered by the younger set. One such product that has found its way
onto the web is the curious television show Starcade. The show's rather
novel (at least at the time) premise was that contestants would play video
games for various prizes. To anyone who came of age during the heady days of
the early 1980s, many of these games will be immediately familiar, and
included such now retro classics as Frogger, Galaga, and of course, Tron. On
this rather memorable site, visitors can view an almost staggering amount of
material on this rather unusual television show, including screen shots of
the video games, several extended program clips, information on the show's
contestants (including "where are they now" information), and a list of the
prizes that contestants were vying to win. For cultural theorists, 1980s
devotees, and those who can't remember what Q*bert looked like, this website
will be both a source of entertaining and contemplative material. [KMG]
14. Rendezvous with History: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt State Historical
Site
http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/projects/fdr/
Among the many family homes that have served as places of tranquility for
U.S. presidents, the grounds and buildings of Hyde Park, New York loom large
within the life experiences of the Roosevelt family. This site, provided by
the Poughkeepsie Journal, offers a virtual tour of the Franklin D. Roosevelt
Historic Site, complete with 360 degree views, essays, and a timeline of
important events related to the family estate. Visitors will want to begin
by perusing the fine interactive map of the grounds, as they can take an
inside look at such buildings as the Presidential Library, the Henry A.
Wallace Visitor Center, and the historic home of Franklin and Eleanor
Roosevelt, Springwood. The stories section really brings out the spirit of
both FDR and Eleanor, as they talk about their lives and legacies, along
with providing transcripts of some of FDR's most well-known speeches, such
as the Four Freedoms delivery and the declaration of war against Japan.
Finally, visitors will want to also take a look through some of the 360-
degree views offered here, including a tour of the famed room where the
Fireside Chats were delivered and FDR's bedroom. [KMG]
15. Stevenson's Fables
http://libtext.library.wisc.edu/StvnsnRobL/
Robert Louis Stevenson was enamored with many literary forms, including
fables. After his death his own work, appropriately titled _Fables_, was
published in New York by Longmans Green in 1902. This particular edition was
digitized and placed online for public perusal by the staff of the
University of Wisconsin Digital Projects initiative, and includes six
etchings done to accompany the work by Ethel King Martyn. The work itself
begins with a brief discussion of Mr. Stevenson's long-standing fascination
with the fable as a form of literary expression, then proceeds to the
thirteen fables in their entirety. Some of the fables made available here
include The Two Matches, The Penitent, and The Yellow Paint, which deals
with the hubris (or lack thereof) of youth and the alleged properties of a
coat of seemingly magical paint. [KMG]
====== Network Tools ====
16. Laughing Man 0.3 [Macintosh Operating System]
http://allusions.sourceforge.net/laughMan/
With all of the rapidly changing websites out there, it may be a bit time-
consuming to keep track of those of greatest interest. Stepping into the
fray is the webpage monitoring tool, Laughing Man. With this tool, users
will be alerted each time a webpage changes, utilizing each individual web
servers "last modified date," or otherwise merely generating a hash number
based on the contents of the page. Laughing Man 0.3 is compatible with all
systems running Mac OS X and higher. [KMG]
17. Movable Type 2.661 [Windows Operating System]
http://www.movabletype.org
After viewing the seemingly innumerable number of weblogs out there in the
virtual world, many visitors may think to themselves "I wouldn't mind trying
my hand at that." And with the application Movable Type, they will be able
to do just that with relative ease. Essentially, the application is a
personal publishing system for creating weblogs or news pages and is
appropriate for use by technically adept users or businesses with
customization needs. Movable Type is compatible with all systems running
Windows 95 and higher. [KMG]

The Leakey Foundation
http://www.leakeyfoundation.org/
Kenya Wildlife Service
http://www.kws.org/
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and
Flora
http://www.cites.org/
This week the well-respected environmentalist and scientist Richard Leakey
made an impassioned plea for assistance in the continued attempt to protect
the world's Great Apes, which include chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, and
orangutans. Current estimates from the United Nations indicate that there
are approximately 450,000 Great Apes left in the world, and there is
increased concern that they may become extinct within 10 to 15 years if no
action is taken in the near future. Leakey suggested that fencing in large
areas of habitats for these animals could dramatically reduce poaching,
which continues to be a problem. He also noted that while there are some
definite success stories (such as the improvement of the situation in
Rwanda), overall the picture seemed rather bleak. Leakey also called on the
world's more affluent countries to buttress some of the costs associated
with such a program, noting that "The world must wake up to the fact that
poor countries can't bear the financial burden and arrest their development
simply because the richer countries feel sentimental." For his own part,
Leakey is in charge of the U.N.-based Great Apes Survival Project, which
seeks to raise a minimum of $25-million to be utilized over the next three
years. [KMG]
The first link leads to a recent online news piece from the Independent
Online, which is based in Zimbabwe. The second link leads to news coverage
provided by the BBC, and offers some discussion about Richard Leakey's
proposed solution to the disappearance of Great Apes across the world. The
third link will take visitors to the Great Apes Survival Project website
(sponsored by the UN), where visitors may read fact sheets about the various
Great Apes, look at media coverage of this growing problem, and may also
view a world-wide atlas of Great Apes distribution. The fourth link leads to
the Leakey Foundation homepage, where visitors may read biographies of the
various Leakey family members, learn about their various events, and learn
about new findings arising from the work of the Foundation. The fifth link
leads to the website of the Kenya Wildlife Service, which was under the
direction of Richard Leakey from 1989 to 1994. Here visitors can read about
their various conservation efforts throughout Kenya and their wide-ranging
outreach programs. The final link leads to the homepage of the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Visitors
can peruse various materials and fact sheets on the rather severe nature of
this phenomenon, and also read in-depth material about the issue of
bushmeat, which weighs heavily on the situation of certain Great Apes. [KMG]
