World War II Military Situation Maps
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/maps/wwii/
Maps have been integral to military conflicts and warfare since time
immemorial, and many of these documents are highly prized by collectors and
military historians. The American Memory Project at the Library of Congress
recently created this fine digital collection of World War II situation maps
from the years 1944 and 1945. Beginning with the D-Day Invasion, the maps
provide information about troop positions throughout Western Europe, along
with important graphical representations of various landmarks within the
military landscape. Visitors can browse through the collection by title,
creator, subject, place, or date. Perhaps the finest part of the site is an
interactive essay that takes users through the Battle of the Bulge with a
series of maps and some brief commentaries. [KMG]

Inside the Brain: An Interactive Tour
http://www.alz.org/brain/overview.asp
The human brain is in many ways a fantastic and enigmatic part of the body,
and only within the past few decades have scientists begun to understand its
many nooks and crannies. When the brain is beset with any number of
neurological conditions, it changes in a myriad of ways. This website,
provided by the Alzheimer’s Association, provides an interactive tour of the
brain of a person with Alzheimer’s disease. The tour contains sixteen
interactive slides, and each slide contains informative text that provides
background material. The first seven slides contain a bit of background
information about the brain, such as what the brain is composed of and how
it functions. Rounding out the site are a selection of links to sites that
provide additional information on the brain, such as the Harvard University
Whole Brain Atlas site and the BBC’s Interactive Brain Map. [KMG]

Sat., June 3, 2006 - Global Warming / Oceanography / Astronomy & Physics
Sites found in:
18 February 2006 Earth Science Sites of the Week
GLOBAL WARMING: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, NOAA, (suggested by Cheryl Dodes, Weber Middle School, Port Washington, NY), with recent news about U.S. January temperatures and 2005 being the warmest ever (see “GOOD READS” section below), this is a great site to find questions and answers about global warming from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Questions include: is global warming happening? is sea level rising? definitions of the greenhouse effect, the relationship of El Niño and global warming, and sources for more information.

Global Warming, Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation, (suggested by David Robison, Wilson High School, Wilson, NY), hear Leonardo Dicaprio narrate a well-made online film that addresses climate change. The issues discussed are designed to spur dialog.

Deaf Resource Library
http://www.deaflibrary.org/
"an online collection of reference material and links intended to educate and inform people about Deaf cultures in Japan and the United States; as well as deaf and hard of hearing related topics." Includes bibliographies, deaf community resources, organizations, deaf culture resources, schools and universities, scholarship info, and more. Though the absence of a navigational guide means you have to scroll your way through the resources to find what you're looking for, the site is quite useful.
How Products Are Made
http://www.madehow.com/index.html
This is a fun site. For a wide variety of products -- chewing gum, refrigerators, shaving cream, fireworks, frisbees, baby carriers, Braille publications, you name it -- it tells you about the history of the product, the raw materials, and the manufacturing process.

“If using Internet Explorer to use this site...
Microsoft released an automatic update on April 11, 2006 which adversely affects Java applications viewed in Internet Explorer (a good explanation of the issue is posted at http://www.cssbeauty.com/skillshare/comments.php?DiscussionID=482). Since Innerbody uses Java, you may notice that some of the pages load more slowly, and that the "dots" on each body part do not appear unless the image is clicked on first. Please bear with us while we implement a solution to this problem, and in the mean time, remember that you must click on an image before the dots appear.

“If using Internet Explorer to use this site...
Microsoft released an automatic update on April 11, 2006 which adversely affects Java applications viewed in Internet Explorer (a good explanation of the issue is posted at http://www.cssbeauty.com/skillshare/comments.php?DiscussionID=482). Since Innerbody uses Java, you may notice that some of the pages load more slowly, and that the "dots" on each body part do not appear unless the image is clicked on first. Please bear with us while we implement a solution to this problem, and in the mean time, remember that you must click on an image before the dots appear. Alternatively, you can view the site with full functionality by using another browser, such as Netscape or Mozilla Firefox.”

Site of the Day for Wednesday, February 15, 2006
Beyond the Reef
http://www.amonline.net.au/exhibitions/beyond/
Today's site, from the Australian Museum, presents an exhibit which details
the marine life around Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Gentle Subscribers
will find concise articles and stunning images of different types of
plankton native to this locale.
"Australians and international tourists alike are well acquainted with the
Great Barrier Reef as one of the world's great natural wonders. What they
are not so familiar with is the importance of the surrounding bluewater
zone to the survival of the Great Barrier Reef. Compared to the colourful
and highly visible reef, these clear blue waters may look empty and barren,
but on closer inspection they are teeming with life: plankton." - from the
website
The site features a number of sub-categories of plankton including the
oxygen-producing phytoplankton, the transparent or blue zooplankton,
holoplankton and meroplankton, with basic information on each. Highlighting
the exhibit are the dazzling photos of representatives of each of these
types of plankton, from the obscure and tiny salps of the holoplankton to
the better-known Portuguese Man-of-War.
Float to the site to explore the world of plankton surrounding the Great
Barrier Reef at:

Dressed to the Nines: A History of the Baseball Uniform
http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/exhibits/online_exhibits/dressed_to_the_nines/introduction.htm
[Shortened URL: http://tinyurl.com/horn ]
"The first official baseball uniform, adopted in 1849 by the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York City, was a simple outfit consisting of a white flannel shirt, blue wool pants, and a straw hat. Fast-forward over 150 years later, and you'll find the modern-day major leaguer wearing brilliantly colored double-knit uniforms made of synthetic blend fabrics. What happened along the way? What styles came and went (and came again)? Which changes to the uniform were successful and which experiments fell flat? How has the baseball uniform become an integral part of our national pastime?"
