Each year, the Department of English at San Jose State University holds the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. This competition, named after the Victorian author who penned the infamous line “It was a dark and stormy night,” rewards that individual who submits the most cringe-inducing first line for an imaginary novel.

MedlinePlus Go Local!

The National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have teamed up to make MedlinePlus Go Local. The main Go Local website provides access to basic information about all of the states. Minnesota is one of the states that has been upgraded to a complete status. As work progresses, more states will be upgraded, too. The Minnesota information not only provides you with addresses and phone numbers, but also links to general health information.

The Science Museum of Minnesota

I recently visited the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. It's educational AND I had a lot of fun. There's something there for everyone!
Right now they have an exhibit called A Day in Pompeii. In the year 79AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the entire Roman city, including civilians. "See hundreds of exceptional objects, including eight body casts of the volcano's victims frozen in their last moments that lay buried in Pompeii's ruins for over 17 centuries."
Seeing this exhibit is a once in a lifetime opportunity. It will be at the Science Museum until January 6th, 2008 and it is only going to a couple more cities in the U.S. before heading back to Italy.
See what the Science Muesem has to offer!
Summer is not over yet, you can still plan a trip!
