I am unfamiliar with any rules regarding the use of this listserv but would
like to be made aware if there are any.
Personally, I feel that the intent of the listserv is to communicate and
inform. Nothing entered here is a mandate or directive, simply information.
Regarding the 'black out' or the use of ethanol, you still have a choice.

In reply to Karen's Roll Your Own Blackout post:
I consider your post to be political and hence a violation of the guidelines
for this listserv.
I use 10% ethanol additive gasoline. It is a natural additive from corn, a
renewable resource, and it burns cleanly. It reduces by 10% the amount of
nonrenewable petroleum based fuel that I use. This is by choice. It is not
an edict. Should I be allowed to organize a movement to encourage people
state, nation, or worldwide to do the same?
P.S.: Not all on this list oppose the actions of the Bush administration.

On yesterday's Pinhole I mentioned a middle school job in Half Moon Bay.
Actually, there are two positions available. Note that one of the positions
is rather unique. It would be 4/6 Science and 2/6 Language Arts Core (1
class; 2-periods - language arts and reading).
District contact information and pdf application can be found at the
following site. (I don't understand why the jobs here at my site are not
listed):

Hope to hear from some of you!

Again time for the Learning Studio weekly report.
Stephanie has been busy the past week adding lots of items to the
collection.
Here are just a few of online resources she has catalogued:
Note:
The online works listed in these reports are freely available over the
Internet.
No passwords are required.
Almost all the online texts available through the Learning Studio catalog
can be located by doing a title keyword search for 'online resource'.
The current count of online resources is: 159
Some of these documents may be in PDF format and require the use of a free
reader.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html
- Online journals:
1. EX: The Online World of Anime & Manga
In the 'oh what the heck' category I asked Stephanie to add one of te best
online magazines devoted to my favorite obsession, Japanese animation.
2. Journal of Insect Science
Publishes papers in all aspects of the biology of insects and other
arthropods
3. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
An important news source from the Center for Disease Control, useful for
biology and public health issues.
4. World Wide Web Journal of Biology
All issues are available, started publishing in 1995
- Online databases, dictionaries and glossaries:
5. Chinese-English Dictionary -
"Searches can be conducted by Chinese (using either the Big5, or GB
encodings), pinyin, or English. Results will show the Chinese word, the
pinyin representation of the word, and the English definition."
Note: Mac users should do a custom install for the Chinese Language kits
from the System CD-ROM disc that came with their computer.
6. Earthquake Glossary
Again the USGS provides us with another useful resource.
7. Genomics Lexicon
A searchable database of terms and definitions related to genetic medicine.
8. Japanese Ants Color Image Database
With 262 species of ants in Japan this resource has a lot of information in
one place.
9. UCMP Glossary
A glossary of biological terms created by the University of California
Museum of Paleontology

In reply to Shirley Grundhardt-- I think it would be a great idea to
organize a movement to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Posting a notice
about the formation of such a group on Pinhole would be informative and
encouraging. Go for it1

While there were probably some political implications to the post in
question, I think that we have a social responsibility as science teachers
to make our students aware of what scientists are predicting in the
environmental arena. Each year their predictions are given with more and
more strength as the data keeps piling up. Should NPR be silenced because
it has recently been reporting on scientist's and the world's exasperation
with Bush? there certainly are political implications to these reports,
but they are in line with the best science. In regards to ethanol; I am
not sure if it's use is any sort of answer, I vaguely remember reading an
analysis that left it on a par with gasoline. Conservation, alternative
energy research, and birth control are ideas which seem anathema to many
republicans; should all discussion of them be surpressed until a new
administration takes over? Eiger

I was a volunteer at the CAS during the creation of
the Life Through Time Exhibit and went through seminar
in some of the best ways to use the exhibit. We were
given a forty slide set, with statements explaining
each slide. The show has pictures of the creation of
the dioramas and some specific information on the
animals and geology. I find it very useful to use in
getting students ready for the exhibit (I think I must
be old because my students seem fascinated with a
slide projector!) Anyone should feel free to contact
me and I will lend you the slide set.
If you haven't been in touch with the National Center
for Science Education you might get in touch with
them. They are a clearing house for teaching evolution
and often have wonderful curriculm ideas.

I got this message today:
Dear Shirley-- Where did you get the idea that there were "rules" for
pinhole? Could you please post these rules if you have them? I think
there is a giant misperception at play. --
Please post an official response.
Shirley
