THE VARO REGISTRY
Take a look at the artists' database at this site, an electronic registry of artwork by contemporary international women artists. You can search for artists by membership (emerging? acclaimed?), movement (photo-realism? performance art?), medium or genre. View the biographies, as well as the works of some fascinating female artists.

PROMINENT PEOPLE OF THE CARIBBEAN
For those of us in the less-temperate climes, it's lovely to contemplate the Caribbean these days. Now you don't even have to go there to research some current and former residents. Maybe that is somewhat of a drawback. In any case, this page provides links to biographies and other information on such notables as Patrick Ewing, Paule Marshall, Gen. Colin Powell and, of course, Harry Belafonte. Sigh.

HEALTH PAGES
Health Pages is a growing site provided by New York Magazine. It allows you to search for doctors by state, county, name and practice specialty or for dentists by state, county and name. Not all states or counties are available yet, but site development is worth waiting for. Bio information covers specialty, location, degree, hospital affiliation, etc. I got more information from this site about a doctor I was researching than I did from the AMA Physician Locator!!
