...started his one-man-campaign for kids' health in 1991 with the book Go, Go, LazyTown! It became a best-seller in Iceland, and other LazyTown-branded books, stage musicals and a 24-hour radio station soon followed. After 10 years establishing the brand in Iceland and Scandinavia, Scheving decided to approach Nickelodeon with the idea of a TV show. He wowed Nick exec Brown Johnson - now the network's president of animation - with an exhaustingly acrobatic pitch. "Magnus walked into the meeting on his hands. We talked for a while about the show and then he started...
...another group saw their virtual counterparts lounge around; and a third watched avatars who did not look like them, but were of the same age and sex, run on treadmills. A day later, Fox found that participants who watched avatars of their own likeness exercising had themselves exercised an hour more in the intervening 24-hour period than people in the other two groups.

Many Harvard students owe much of their sanity and their academic careers to the existence of a 24-hour library during the school week.

The code was not hard to break. McCain was calling out Obama as an unfulfilled prophet, built up on lofty rhetoric and personal charisma. McCain's advisors have been hammering the theme ever since, privately speaking skeptically of Obama's big crowds and "Yes We Can" ritual chants. "The lofty...
...sandstone Beirut town house belonging to Walid Jumblatt, a member of Parliament and one of the leaders of Lebanon's governing coalition. Still, Jumblatt, a top American ally, is under virtual house arrest. After the lightning speed with which opposition Hizballah fighters defeated government supporters in a six-hour battle on Thursday - only to vanish a few hours later - it became clear that it is pointless to resist the Iranian and Syrian-backed militia, which could return at any time. "I am a hostage now in my home in Beirut," he said over the telephone to his rival Nabih Berri...
