Ruver Fuentes tearfully remembered where she was the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 - at the Bronx, N.Y., elementary school where she works as a teacher. Watching television on a break between classes, she did not realize she was looking at a live television broadcast of terrorists attacking the U.S. "I thought I had seen a movie. I asked 'Why are they showing such a violent film on television,' but they told me it was real," said Fuentes, 61. ?Later on I found out many of my students? parents were killed in the World Trade Center.? Fuentes was one of thousands...
Iranians seem resigned to the likelihood that with tensions rising, the situation at home is likely to get worse. Earlier last month, police confiscated all the illegal satellite dishes in my neighborhood under the guise of preventing the broadcast of impure content. The "real" story circulating among residents went like this: a regime official had recently begun importing small, laptop-size satellite dishes that work indoors. If the government rounded up the rooftop dishes, everyone would be forced to buy the official's dishes. For a while, people on my block stood outside debating what to do. The elders finally...
What makes Mileura and the other projects so powerful is that by tuning the receivers to different radio frequencies, they will be able to pick up signals broadcast by hydrogen atoms at different periods in the Dark Ages. When you map cosmic hydrogen at, say, 50 million years after the Big Bangbefore the first stars had a chance to formthen at 100 million, 200 million or half a billion years later, you get a series of snapshots. Combine them, says Loeb, and "you'll be able to make a 3-D picture of hydrogen gas as the universe evolves...
...Favorite topics of discussion include General Adnan Daoud, a Lebanese security commander who was caught on videotape broadcast in Lebanon serving trays of tea to invading Israeli forces at his base in Marjayoun. The episode infuriated many Lebanese, but they're amused with another popular subject. That's the story of the Lebanese shopkeeper who was reportedly abducted by Israeli forces, held for several weeks and eventually handed over to the Red Cross - all apparently in a case of mistaken identity. His name is Hassan Nasrallah, the same as the leader of Hizballah...
...would not expect a network to showcase a series whose premise is that broadcast TV needs to be saved. You would not expect that network to be NBC, which still airs Saturday Night Live. And finally you would not expect that network to debut a second show about a sketch-comedy series. (Tina Fey's comedy within a comedy, 30 Rock, debuts in October.) But when you're in fourth place, you'll try anything--twice--and NBC and producers insist that Studio 60 is about not SNL but a fictional lame sketch show. Studio 60 is from West Wing...
