Webdoc- OneLook Reverse Dictionary

http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml
There are certainly times for everyone where they cannot seem to remember a certain phrase or word, and it may become rather vexing and frustrating. Fortunately, there is now the OneLook Reverse Dictionary website which can help persons confounded by this situation. Essentially, users can type in a concept into a search engine and receive a list of words and phrases related to that concept. For example, typing in 'joy from the pain of others' returns over one hundred results, including 'schadenfreude' and 'regret'. There are several other uses to the site, including the ability to explore related concepts or to answer basic identification questions. Perhaps the most important function of the Reverse Dictionary is that users (if they are so inclined) may also use the database to solve crossword puzzle clues. "

Thyphoid Mary -- The Most Dangerous Woman in America

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/typhoid/
Mary Mallon was an Irish immigrant who worked as a cook in and around New York City during the first years of the 20th century. Today she is better known popularly as 'Typhoid Mary', due to the fact that she infected approximately 47 persons with typhoid fever and also for the massive publicity that surrounded her later imprisonment and long battle to clear her name. This engaging website serves as a complement to the recent NOVA program about the life (and broader context of public health concerns) of Mary Mallon. The program is based on a historical study of Mallon written by Professor Judith Walzer Leavitt of the University of Wisconsin, and explores the various implications of this various case that combines both a heightened sensitivity to public health issues and the ways in which this sensationalized incident was portrayed by various officials and journalists. Here visitors can read a letter written by Mallon during her imprisonment and browse through an interactive feature on the history of quarantine. Finally, there is also a selection of links to other related websites and a teacher's guide."
