CAS Launches Free ‘Common Chemistry’ Site
InfoToday.com
This resource is designed to help nonchemists and others who might know either a chemical name or a CAS Registry Number of a common everyday chemical and want to pair both pieces of information. Common Chemistry contains approximately 7800 chemicals of widespread and general interest as well as all 118 elements from the periodic table. With the exception of some of the elements all other substances in this collection were deemed of widespread interest by having been cited 1000 or more times in the CAS databases. Examples of substances in Common Chemistry include widely recognizable ones such as caffeine benzoyl peroxide (acne treatment) and sodium chloride (table salt). While not intended to be a comprehensive CAS Registry Number (CAS RN) look-up service Common Chemistry does provide access to information on chemicals of general interest. The CAS Registry Number is recognized throughout the world as the most commonly used unique identifier of chemical substances.

Chemistry should matter more than hoops
St. Joseph Herald Palladium (subscription)
Based on comments that flooded The Herald-Palldium’s Web site recently people care an awful lot about who’s going to coach boys basketball at Eau Claire and St. Joseph high schools. The hiring or resignation of a chemistry teacher doesn’t get this much feedback if any. But who really matters more to a community’s children? Certainly a basketball coach matters. There is much to learn through athletic competition about how to handle victory and defeat and carry on after both. But very few of the basketball players that are seen by high school coaches will make their living doing that. Those players usually end up making a living doing something related to what they learned in the classroom – perhaps chemistry perhaps something else.
