>2.  The NEA Foundation for the Improvement of Education [pdf]
>http://www.nfie.org/
>
>The National Education Association (NEA) has a number of laudable public
>outreach programs, but the NEA Foundation for the Improvement of Education
>may be one that is of special interest to teachers in particular. The
>primary function of the Foundation is to make grants that will improve
>public education across the nation, including those grants to honor=
 teaching
>excellence and to create the necessary conditions to attract and retain
>accomplished teachers in high-need schools.  The NEA site includes helpful
>information and application forms for the organization's numerous grant
>programs, along with a search engine that will help visitors to hone in on
>specific materials. The publications area of the site is quite nice as=
 well,
>and visitors will want to avail themselves of such titles as "Connecting=
 the
>Bits", which provides information for integrating technology into teaching
>and learning in K-12 schools. [KMG]
>
>
>3.  Bureau of Land Management Historical Photographs
>http://www.photos.blm.gov/hist_index.html
>
>While some of those U.S residents who never venture west of the mighty
>Mississippi River may be unfamiliar with the Bureau of Land Management
>(BLM), most Westerners know this governmental agency quite well. The agency
>has been in existence in one form or another for more than a century, and=
 is
>responsible for managing 262 million surface areas of America's public=
 lands
>and their natural resources. The BLM recently made an ambitious effort to
>make some of the agency's vast historical images available to the Web-
>browsing public, and this nice online archive is the result of those=
 labors.
>The archive contains close to 3500 images, dating back to the early 1890s
>all the way up to the 1980s. Visitors are advised to use the search engine,
>which will allow them the ability to look up images by keyword, state,=
 date,
>or photographer. The site will definitely warrant a couple of extended
>visits, as there's everything here from photos of sluicing equipment in the
>Rockies from the early 1920s to grazing cattle in Nevada. [KMG]
>
>
>4.  From Haven to Home: 350 Years of Jewish Life in America
>http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/haventohome/
>
>There is much about the Jewish experience in America that is similar to=
 that
>of other immigrant groups, including the processes of acculturation,
>discrimination, acceptance, and assimilation, to name but a few. This
>special online exhibit from the Library of Congress features more than two
>hundred objects of American Judaica from its extensive holdings,
>supplemented by other items loaned by other cultural institutions. The
>exhibit looks at the Jewish experience through such documents as the
>correspondence between Newport's Hebrew Congregation in 1790 and George
>Washington, where the president noted that the United States gives "to
>bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance." The section titled "A
>Century of Immigration, 1820-1924" is particularly rich in archival
>material, as it includes images of a Jewish prayer book intended for
>travelers to America and a beautiful woodcut print by Albert Potter that
>documents the bustle and opportunity of New York's Lower East Side during
>the turn of the 20th century. The site concludes with a list of suggested
>readings and information about various public programs associated with the
>on-site exhibit, such as film showings and lectures. [KMG]
>
>
>5.  Map-a-Planet
>http://pdsmaps.wr.usgs.gov/
>
>Since the explosion of online maps and related technologies onto the
>Internet, it has been relatively easy to find maps of any part of the=
 Earth.
>Finding detailed maps of the various planets and moons that share the
>universe with us can be a bit more tricky. Stepping in to fill that gap in
>online material is the Map-A-Planet site, created and maintained by the
>United States Geological Survey's Astrogeology Research Program. Visitors=
 to
>the site will be able create (and download) customizable maps of planets
>such as Mars and Venus, along with prominent moons such as Callisto (the
>second largest moon of Jupiter) and Ganymede, which is Jupiter's largest
>moon. Visitors can also create various levels of maps, ranging from those
>that are quite basic all the way to those that incorporate more detailed
>datasets. While the site is certain to be of general interest to most
>individuals, it may be of particular value to science educators who wish to
>offer students a rather rich-textured view of these marvelous bodies. [KMG]
>
>
>6.  Orbis [pdf]
>http://www.fpri.org/orbis/
>
>Headquartered in Philadelphia, the Foreign Policy Research Institute has
>provided intelligent and compelling insights into world affairs since 1955,
>and their in-house journal, Orbis, has been a part of this effort beginning
>with its first issue in 1957. The journal is edited by James Kurth, a
>professor of political science at Swarthmore College, and is published
>quarterly. The journal contains works that relate directly to American
>foreign policy and national security, along with analysis of important
>international developments. While the complete text of each journal issue=
 is
>not available, visitors can read selections from past issues (dating back=
 to
>2002), including pieces from recent volumes that have focused on
>democratization in China and geopolitics in the 21st century. Additionally,
>there is a trenchant piece from the Spring 2003 issue titled "Why Geography
>Matters=85But is So Little Learned" that is worth taking a look at. [KMG]
>
>
>7.  Roper Center: Polling 101
>http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/pom/polling101.html
>
>The U.S. Presidential election season seems like a good time review the
>basics on polling. The Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at the
>University of Connecticut is "the largest library of public opinion data in
>the world." (See also Scout Report for Social Science, December 1, 1998.)
>This section of the website gives visitors a short lesson on public opinion
>polling. The Polling 101 page reviews Sampling, Total Survey Error, Reading
>Tables, and provides links to other pages with additional information on
>polling. A final section talks about the Role of Polls in Policymaking=
 based
>on a 2001 phone survey conducted for the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation
>in collaboration with Public Perspective magazine. Visitors can also browse
>through the Public Opinion Matters section of the website to view recent
>polls on economic issues, education, technology, and more. The full=
 database
>of polls, however, is accessible only through paid membership. [VF] This
>site is also reviewed in the October 8, 2004,_NSDL MET Report_. [VF]
>
>
>8.  Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America [pdf]
>http://www.arts.gov/pub/ReadingAtRisk.pdf
>
>While most people may think of the National Endowment for the Arts as an
>organization that sponsors various cultural and artistic endeavors across
>the United States, the organization also prepares research reports on
>various topics, such as reports on the state of folk and traditional arts=
 in
>the country. Its latest report, which surveys the state of literary reading
>in America, offers a rather sobering assessment of how much (or how little)
>the average American does on a regular or occasional basis. Released in=
 June
>2004, this 60-page report draws on previous survey work to highlight some=
 of
>the trends in this area, including the finding that the percentage of adult
>Americans reading literature has dropped dramatically during the past 20
>years. The report reveals several other findings, including the fact that
>literary reading continues to decline among all education levels and all=
 age
>groups. The report includes a number of useful tables, an executive=
 summary,
>and information about the study's methodology. [KMG]
>
>
>9.  Brennan Center for Justice
>http://www.brennancenter.org/
>
>The late Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. was arguably the most influential
>justice of the Supreme Court in the 20th century, and weighed in with=
 nearly
>1600 opinions during his 34 years on the Court. To pay tribute to his many
>accomplishments, the extended Brennan family and New York University
>presented Justice Brennan with their gift of the Brennan Center in 1995.=
 The
>central mission of the Center is "to develop and implement an innovative,
>nonpartisan agenda of scholarship, public education, and legal action that
>promotes equality and human dignity, while safeguarding fundamental
>freedoms." Along with public forums and various advocacy programs, the
>Center coordinates thematic research in areas such as criminal justice,
>campaign finance reform, voter choice, in addition to offering public
>comment on various laws and relevant legislation.  On the site's homepage,
>visitors can read these recent comments briefs filed by Center staff
>members, and also access some of their latest publications. One that is
>worth taking a look at is "The Information Commons", which takes a critical
>look at the ways in which various public interest advocates have sought "to
>expand access to the wealth of resources that the Internet promises". This
>and other insightful works may be found in the resources area of the
>Center's website.

>10. Two on Football Stadia
>College Gridirons
>http://www.collegegridirons.com/
>Stadiums of the NFL
>http://www.stadiumsofnfl.com
>
>Purpose-built football stadia dominate their surroundings in many major
>urban areas around the United States, and on fall weekends they are often
>surrounded by legions of fans preparing for the upcoming gridiron contests.
>These two sites will allow distant (and not-so distant) visitors to learn
>about each of these "battlegrounds" through the use of photographs and=
 brief
>expository pieces on the history of each structure. By browsing through=
 each
>site, visitors can also learn about proposed stadia that will be built in
>the near future, such as the much-discussed new home of the New York Jets
>and the up-and-coming structure that will house the Arizona Cardinals. A
>trip back in time can be had by visiting the "Past Stadiums" area which
>includes photographs of such former football palaces as the Kingdome in
>Seattle and Soldier Field (which has since undergone an unfortunate
>renovation and expansion) in Chicago. Finally, visitors can offer their own
>opinions and ratings of the stadiums profiled on the two sites. [KMG]

>11. Les Demoiselles d'Avignon: Conserving a Modern Masterpiece
>http://www.moma.org/collection/conservation/demoiselles/index.html
>
>While still anticipating its grand re-opening in new digs in midtown
>Manhattan this November, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) presents this
>website on the conservation of "an iconic fixture in MoMA's collection=
 since
>its acquisition in 1939", Pablo Picasso's <i>Les Demoiselles d'Avignon</i>.
>MoMA and other museums make good use of the Web to allow visitors to=
 observe
>the conservation process as they never could before; in addition to MoMA's
>site, other art conservation web sites reviewed in the Scout report include
>Restoration Online, Minneapolis Institute of Arts (Sept. 24, 1999
>http://scout.wisc.edu/Reports/ScoutReport/1999/scout-990924.html#15) and
>Pablo Picasso's <i>The Tragedy</i>, the National Gallery of Art, (June 14,
>2002 http://scout.wisc.edu/Reports/ScoutReport/2002/scout-020614-
>geninterest.html). MoMA's Demoiselles site is arranged in seemingly simple
>sections--Introduction, History of the painting, Analysis and previous
>treatments, Treatment 2003/2004, and Ask the conservator (where you can
>email questions directly), supplemented by a glossary and bibliography, but
>users can drill down in the broad sections for more specific information,
>and lots of before-and-after images. For example, exploring the Treatment
>2003/2004 area leads to close-ups showing the effects of removing a coat of
>varnish applied to the painting in 1950. The site also provides a link to
>the MoMA conservation home page, where visitors can learn about=
 conservation
>at MoMA in general, and look at the restoration of a Monet <i>Water
>Lilies</i>. [DS]
>
>
>12. Extreme Oil
>http://www.pbs.org/wnet/extremeoil/
>
>The quest for oil continues unabated across the globe, and this latest
>documentary series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York examines the various
>ways in which various interests work to find new sources of this very
>important natural resource. The site is divided into three compelling
>sections, and visitors would do well to start with the area titled "The
>Journey". Here they will learn about the distance that oil must travel, as
>it moves from its place of origin all the way to its use as a fuel source,
>or any of its thousands of other uses. The four oil transport networks
>profiled here include the famed BTC Pipeline and the Trans-Alaskan=
 Pipeline.
>The history section of the site offers a helpful (and visually rich)
>timeline of the evolution of the use of oil by humans that dates back all
>the way to the year 480 BC. Finally, the last section deals with the=
 science
>of oil extraction and related technologies, and includes information on
>refining and production of this resource. [KMG]
>
>
>13. A Century of Progress: The 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair [pdf]
>http://century.lib.uchicago.edu/
>
>In 1893, Chicago played host to the World's Columbian Exposition, a seminal
>event in American cultural history. With that spirit in mind (and in an
>attempt to get people to forget the darkest days of the Great Depression),
>the "City of Big Shoulders" played host to the 1933-1934 Century of=
 Progress
>World's Fair. The event was held on the shores of Lake Michigan, and
>stretched from 12th Street (now called Roosevelt Road) all the way to 39th
>Street on the city's South Side. During the fair, staff members of the John
>Crerar Library (which is now part of the University of Chicago Libraries)
>collected various official publications, press releases, guidebooks, and
>other related materials pertaining to this world exposition. Approximately
>350 of those collected items are now available on this website, which
>visitors may peruse at their leisure. The collection may be browsed by
>publication author, publication title, and the general subject of each
>publication. For those out there with an interest in World's Fairs and the
>spectacle of such endeavors, this website will be a real joy. [KMG]
>
>
>14. BBC: Science & Nature-Birds [RealPlayer]
>http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/animals/birds/
>
>Britons are well-known around the world for their advocacy work on the
>preservation on animal habitats, and for being avid bird-watchers to boot.
>This fine site from the BBC allows visitors to learn more about birds
>through a series of informative articles, hands-on activities, and audio
>features that profile various bird sounds. For an introduction to the birds
>"in action", visitors may want to take a look at their online "bird-cam"
>which features a bird feeding-station within the woodlands of North
>Somerset. The activity section features instructions on how to build a bird
>nestbox and how to build a bird table. The audio section is quite nice, as
>visitors can listen to the dawn choruses of various birds, along with tips
>on how sound engineers capture the sounds of different birds while they are
>in the field. [KMG]
>
>
>15. Harvard University Institute of Politics [pdf, RealPlayer]
>http://www.iop.harvard.edu/index.php
>
>Located within the Kennedy School of Government, the Harvard University
>Institute of Politics emerged out of the desire to create an organization
>that would reflect the late President John F. Kennedy's commitment to=
 public
>service. As such, the Institute of Politics was created in the fall of=
 1966,
>and placed under the able direction of Professor Richard E. Neustadt. The
>Institute of Politics strives to engage young people in politics and public
>service, and does so by providing a number of internship opportunities,
>study groups, conferences, and excellent speakers. While some of these
>programs are limited to Harvard undergraduates, there is a good deal of
>information for the general public on the site. The research and
>publications area is a good place to start, as it contains the results of
>recent polls of the voting tendencies of America's college students, along
>with previous survey results. This same section also contains an=
 interesting
>policy paper on youth civic engagement efforts across 11 cities in the U.S.
>The real highlight of the site is the video archive that presents recent
>Forum events in streaming video format. Visitors can peruse events from=
 2001
>to the present day, and the topics covered in these erudite forums are=
 quite
>wide-ranging. Recent forum topics have included "Gays and God: Being LGBT
>and a Person of Faith" and "The Challenge of Resolving Conflicts &
>Developing Africa". [KMG]
>
>
>16. Downbeat.com
>http://www.downbeat.com
>
>Jazz lovers may already know about the magazine Downbeat, but others with a
>developing interest in the current landscape of jazz music and jazz
>musicians may want to take a look at this site. As might be expected, the
>actual magazine is not available for free on the site, but there is enough
>free content here to warrant several visits. For the neophyte who may be
>looking to learn more about the history of the genre, the "Jazz 101"=
 section
>offers a brief overview of its history, ranging from the early days of
>Dixieland all the way to the contemporary sound of people like Benny Green
>and Marcus Printup. Other free content includes an artist guide, where
>visitors can enter the names of musicians they would like to learn about,
>and brief reviews of recent recordings. The archives section is quite nice,
>as it contains classic articles on such topics as the hard times of Chet
>Baker in the 1960s and the famous "Blindfold Tests". These "tests" featured
>jazz musicians attempting to correctly identify a wide range of recordings
>by fellow performers, and the ones on this site include Downbeat's efforts
>to stump Elvin Jones,  Charlie Mingus, Ornette Coleman, and Wes Montgomery.

>more people may be able to have similar experiences in the near future. On
>Monday, the privately funded spacecraft SpaceShipOne climbed to a height of
>377,591 feet (or 71.5 miles), thereby winning the $10 million Ansari X
>Prize. The award is intended to spur civilian spaceflight, and it was also
>announced this week that the award will become an annual event. The
>financial support for SpaceShipOne came from Paul Allen, the co-founder of
>Microsoft. The timing of the flight was rather propitious, as it was made=
 on
>the 47th anniversary of the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik, a
>historic event which effectively began the so-called "space race" between

>complete test logs for each flight. The fifth link leads to the very
>recently established Virgin Galactic company (started by that
>entrepreneurial gadfly Sir Richard Branson) which is attempting to "allow
>affordable sub-orbital space tourism". The sixth link will take visitors to

>provides insight into previous space programs, such as Gemini and Apollo.
