- <B><A NAME="SS1">KOBE EARTHQUAKE PAGES AND EARTHQUAKE LOCATOR</A></B>
- <P>
- If you're looking for information about the recent devastating earthquake
- in Japan, the MSEN Kobe Earthquake page should be your starting point. They
- have daily news summaries and pointers to numerous associated sites. If the
- thought of earthquakes keeps you awake at night, you probably don't want to
- go see the Earthquake Locator site. It has information about quakes within
- hours of their occurrences. Specific earthquake data is available (date,
- time, place, magnitude) as is a cumulative map of global quakes. It uses
- the Xerox PARC Map server which is highly interesting in itself.

- <B><A NAME="SS2">FRENCH MINISTRY OF CULTURE PUTS NEW CAVE PAINTINGS ONLINE</A></B>
- <P>
- France's Ministry of Culture, apparently hip to technology, already
- has high-resolution gifs of four of the most impressive of last
- month's newly-unearthed Combe d'Arc cave paintings online. Experts
- have judged the paintings already examined to be at least equal in
- quality to the world-famous ones at Lascaux, and the new larger cave
- may prove to hold a larger number of paintings, as well. The new
- paintings include a stunning group of four horses, a hyena, many
- aurochs, and two tigers, which are rarely found in cave paintings.
- Check them out at <A HREF="http://www.culture.fr/gvpda.htm">"http://www.culture.fr/gvpda.htm"</A>. No, "htm" isn't
- a typo.
- <P>
- <B><A NAME="SS3">MR. YU AND THE SUPERBOWL</A></B>
- <P>
- A collection of mutant human beings slugs it out for fame in front of
- teeming millions. No, it's not the Miss America pageant, but rather the
- culmination of that odd ritual known as American football. The Superbowl is
- in Miami this year on January 29th. If you're not into sports you might be
- tempted to bypass this site, but you'd miss the surreal links to the Super
- Bowl Gourmet ("Avocados will likely be more expensive and harder to find
- this Super Bowl, due to this month's devastating storms in California") and
- Mr. Yu's Bar and Grill in South Korea. Say what?!? Find out all about it at
- this site.

- <B><A NAME="SS4">SOLID STAR TREK VOYAGER WEB SITE</A></B>
- <P>
- Star Trek fans and Web site designers will want this one on their hotlists.
- Voyager is the newest incarnation of the venerable SF television series.
- The information layout and interface are well thought out and thematically
- coherent - definitely designed by Web pros. In addition to in-character
- information about the show and the expected multimedia items there is an
- extensive section about the "real life" cast, crew and history of the
- series. Fun fact: a 1993 study from Purdue University found that children
- learn more about science fiction from Star Trek than anything else outside
- the home. Should we be worried? <A HREF="http://voyager.paramount.com/">"http://voyager.paramount.com/"</A>

- <B><A NAME="SS5">CIA PROVIDES COMPLETE INTERNET ACCESS</A></B>
- <P>
- Despite its covert reputation, the CIA offers quite a bit at its Web site.
- The page has two links. The useful CIA World Factbook, the country almanac
- of almanacs that we've written about in the past, is presented in its
- entirety. The other link, the Factbook on Intelligence, contains CIA stats
- and trivia. You'll be pleased to know that, no, the agency does not engage
- in drug trafficking, but that, yes, it does provide child care for
- employees. How considerate, on both counts. <A HREF="http://www.ic.gov">"http://www.ic.gov"</A>

- <B><A NAME="SS6">FOR CHOCOLATE LOVERS ONLY</A></B>
- <P>
- Ah, chocolate - the mouth-watering flavor, the sumptuous texture. If only
- you could satisfy your lust for this sweet treat via the Net. But of
- course! Just stop by the Chocolate Factory home page of Ann Hemyng Candy
- Inc., where you'll be invited to Net-order all the chocolate covered
- delicacies you desire. But that's not all; you'll find even more chocolate
- shops listed on the Chocolate page. And since we care deeply about your
- health we had to include the Diet URL as well.

- <B><A NAME="SS7">CIVIL WAR LETTERS</A></B>
- <P>
- It has all the drama of "Gone With The Wind" and even more Iowan intrigue than
- "The Bridges of Madison County", except this wonderfully documented love
- story and personal journey actually happened. A librarian at the University
- of California at Santa Cruz has made available a series of letters an Iowa
- soldier wrote to his family and sweetheart during the Civil War. It's a
- great demonstration of how personal history can add significantly to the
- resources on the Internet.

- <P>
- <B><A NAME="SS8">PLAY BY E-MAIL</A></B>
- <P>
- Battle, a tactical warfare play-by-E-Mail (PBEM) game, originally attracted
- us, but the long waiting list for new games turned us off. At the site, you
- can get a glimpse of what the game is like, download the rules, and
- register to play. It did, however, lead us to the mother of all PBEM/PBM
- pages, featuring games as varied as Core Wars, Electronic Soccer, and the
- granddaddy of 'em all, Diplomacy. Whether you want to read up on a game or
- shop for opponents to crush like little bugs, this is the site to visit.

- <P>
- <B><A NAME="SS9">THE PARANOIA PAGE</A></B>
- <P>
- The New World Order page is superficially dedicated to global and
- governmental conspiracy but the links serve two genuine purposes:
- information and humor. The former include a private analysis of U.S.
- Department of Defense programs budgeted for 1995. The best humor site is an
- inventory of treasures that the government deems too dangerous for public
- knowledge and stores in a secret warehouse, as in the last scene of Raiders
- of the Lost Ark - which, by the way, IS in the warehouse, along with a
- crashed UFO, an English-Dolphin dictionary, and Santa Claus's security
- clearance application (army brats need presents, too). Bonafide
- conspiracists will enjoy the link to Fair Play, a Net zine devoted to
- (their version of) the truth behind the JFK assassination.

- <P>
- The University of Cologne (Koln) in Germany is currently playing host to an
- informative Shakespearean server. So, if you're interested in the progress
- of the Globe theater reconstruction in London, or if you'd like to hook up
- with other related sites, be sure to stop by. The English version is still
- under construction, so you'll need to break out your German/English
- dictionary.

- <P>
- The SCRIPTA project aims to ease access to palaeography, the study of the
- history of handwriting, with interactive software. Through visual analysis
- of historic manuscripts, users will become familiar with five writing
- styles used in Europe from the second century BCE to the 15th century ACE.
- Analysis of calligraphy is also stressed. The free Windows software, in
- Italian mind you, is available at the Web site, which translates a small
- portion of its Italian text for us anglophones.

- <P>
- The Physician's GenRx International is an electronic version of a drug
- reference encyclopedia. The information is available either as installed
- software or through an online Telnet subscription. The program costs
- roughly $10 per month and is continually updated. It can be searched by
- generic or brand names and by drug category, and multiple drugs can be
- tagged and searched for any potential interaction among them. The
- developers are looking for hospitals and large clinics to serve as beta
- test sites (send E-Mail to ICS via the internal messaging system at the
- Telnet site). To get a free peek, Telnet to "genrx.icsi.net", login as
- "genrx" with the password "genrx", then login to the program as "guest".

- Never get newsprint on your fingers again. Put this on your hotlist! This
- incredible page has highway conditions, weather by region, concert
- listings, movie schedules, day trips and sites to see, newspapers, even job
- and housing listings - all updated weekly. This is a very impressive
- collection of useful info for visitors and residents alike. Well, OK, if

- magazine and consists primarily of companies in B.C., but growth is
- promised. They're also looking to hire commissioned agents across Canada
- (phone 1-800-306-4488 after 9 a.m. PST). "Fleet House: Canada" is a Net
- journal aimed at leisure and business travelers in Canada. Future plans
- include a handy travel classified section, but for now all you get are
- descriptions of cities and regions written by local tourism boosters,
- detailed and interesting though they may be.

- than SLIP/PPP in many operations, faster in a few. No new code is required
- on the UNIX host (other than a Lynx or WWW browser) and downloads come
- first to the host, then by modem to your PC. The advantages are faster
- transfers on noisy connections and entire documents, including graphics,
