Auburn vs. Alabama (1953)
"The two best teams in the SEC met for their annual intrastate battle in Birmingham with a "Winner Take All" situation facing them. Both teams had strong offenses and stout defenses. The defenses played the major role in the game however, as neither team could muster more than one touchdown drive. The X and Y teams played outstanding ball and deserved to win this, the most important game of the season. Dooley's x unit was probably the more effective that afternoon, but Vince was injured in the t
Global Grocery
This fun Web site is part of OLogy, where kids can collect virtual trading cards and create projects with them. Here, they take a behind-the-scenes look at the biodiversity that's part of the many things they eat and use daily. The site opens by asking kids a series of questions to get them thinking about the ingredients in common foods and products. Then it takes them to a well-stocked kitchen, where they can mouse over everything from chocolate chip cookies and coffee to cough drops and cold m

The collection includes photos of railroads, elephants, camels, horses, sleds and sleighs, sedan chairs, rickshaws, and other types of transportation, as well as city views, street and harbor scenes, landscapes, and people in North Africa, Asia, Australia, and Oceania.
Computational GRIDs and online laboratories
Many projects addressing the creation of online laboratories have been developed recently. They have a common goal: to enable students and professional learners to get hands-on experience without moving from the places where they are.
Nevertheless, the found solutions are often very different among them, and interoperability between different online laboratories systems does not exist. In this paper we present our work around the exploitation of Grid technologies for sharing instrumentation and

Open Notebook Science ACS March07 (JCB)
Here is my talk "Open Notebook Science using Blogs and Wikis" at the American Chemical Society meeting in Chicago on March 27, 2007 at the Communicating Chemistry Symposium.
The first half is basically a condensed summary of how we are using UsefulChem to do Open Science. I then demonstrate for the first time Dave's Excel code to compute ki

Rwanda: You Go, Girls!
The PBS WIDE ANGLE documentary series analyzes a number of significant and current global issues. In 'Ladies First' (2004), WIDE ANGLE delivers a riveting report on the political and socio-economic success of the Rwandan women after the genocide of 1994 that divided the country's major ethnic groups, the Tutsi and the Hutu. The purpose of this lesson is to use 'Ladies First' to show not only that women working together can and did create a dialogue and a basis for trust among ethnic groups, but
Learning the Basics of Filmmaking
The purpose of this course is to learn how to make a short motion picture starting with pre-production. As we walk through all the steps of making this movie, you will prepare yourself for entering film school.
Digital Photography in Biology Lab Teaching
This workshop is designed for biology lab teachers who are not yet using digital photography. My focus will be on the simplest equipment that will do the job, not on the best or latest equipment. I will cover the basics of color and gray scale digital photography, biometry, closeups, and photomicrographs with or without a trinocular head on the microscope. We will make a little time-lapse movie with a still camera. Computers will be garden variety PC's or Macs. For software I will use mainly the
