...alien civilizations light-years away are sending us messages coded in pulses of light, Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering Paul Horowitz ’65 will be one of the first to know. The Planetary Society, a leading non-profit space research organization, announced Tuesday that Horowitz will direct a year-long project to scan the Milky Way for light signals sent by extraterrestrial life using a new optical telescope at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, Mass. The telescope, which was dedicated in a ceremony Tuesday, is the largest optical telescope east of the Mississippi...
Long before Alias' Jennifer Garner traveled the world's nightclubs undercover and barely covered, Diana Rigg donned the catsuit of justice as superhot, supercool British spook Emma Peel. The plots seem frothy in retrospect--in one, an alien artichoke threatens mankind. But the quick-witted, flirty interplay between Mrs. Peel and bowler-hatted John Steed (Patrick Macnee) never gets old. This massive set collects all 51 Peel episodes plus three rare Avengers, a making-of film and more. Crisply written and sophisticated, it's a stylish time capsule of the mid-'60s apex of British mod-era style...
...first time in 500 years, the river is so low that about 50 ft. from its destination it just dries up altogether and turns into a salt flat. Two alien weeds, hydrilla and hyacinth--border officials don't know how they got there--are growing so fast they have blocked the flow of the river. Fighting them would require approval from both sides, which is practically impossible to get.

...Absolut campaign. The rock band Coldplay used BlueCasting last summer to launch its album X&Y. During a two-week period, 20,000 people downloaded video clips and sample tracks directly from posters in London's main rail terminals. Fifty bus-shelter ads in Britain for the movie Alien vs. Predator prompted 500,000 riders to vote for who would win the celluloid battle by pushing a button on the signs. "That's what I call engagement," says Jean-Luc Decaux, a co-CEO of JCDecaux North America. This month the Paris-based firm will place ads with...
...bill treats an illegal alien's mere presence in the country-currently only a civil violation-as a felony punishable by a year and a day in jail and establishes mandatory minimum sentences for repeat offenders. Its sweeping language would make giving even humanitarian assistance to an illegal immigrant a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. Fines for an employer who hires illegal immigrants, which now range from $250 to $10,000 per violation, depending on the employer's previous conduct, would be increased to $5,000 to $25,000. Criminal penalties for repeat offenders could include...
