site of the day
WildEarth TV
View live streaming video capturing activity in several wildlife preserves in Africa. You can view profiles of WildEarth’s crew and animal “characters,” vote on your favorite videos, view archived webcasts, and browse the WildEarth blog to read about behind-the-scenes happenings.
Today’s Site of the Day offers a very fun look into Africa’s wildlife and efforts to conserve the continent’s animals and resources. I especially like when the chat corresponding to the video turns to food and dinner prospects – just as the footage is showing lions or a hyena deciding whether or not to eat a monitor lizard.

Charters of Freedom: Constitution of the United States
You can almost smell the mothballs and feel the crackly parchment of the most important historic document in America! Ok, maybe not, since page two of the U.S. Constitution was unveiled in its new encasement on September 15, 2000.
This comprehensive overview of the U.S. Constitution places the document in context with two other founding charters of American democracy and government: the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Today’s Site of the Day also includes access to digital facsimiles of the Constitution and all amendments with transcripts.

Be sure to explore the various areas including kidneys and metals, general toxicology, and lung toxicology.

American Memory: Today in History, Veterans Day
Between WWI and WWII, November 11 was commemorated as Armistice Day in the United States, Great Britain, and France. After the World War II, the date was changed to celebrate and honor the Veterans of both wars – which led to the name being changed to “Veterans Day.”
Learn more about the history of the day from the Library of Congress American Memory project. This Site of the Day links you to original documents including photos, interviews, letters and music from the period.
