...back to the biblical Flood. Egoyan, 43, who was born in Cairo to Armenian parents, says "the film's structure reflects the Armenian psyche." That psyche is riven by dual realities - the country that was and the one that is; the loss of both human lives and "the very imprint of humanity in us." To portray that divide in Ararat - which has just opened in the U.K. and Portugal, and comes to Italy, the Czech Republic and Israel this week - Egoyan created a film within a film. His movie is a contemporary tale of two families' searches for truth...
Make Up the Breakdown, the title of Hot Hot Heat’s latest album, is cryptic enough to fuel the overly creative minds of critics and fans alike. It works perfectly as an attack on the sort of musicians who imprint their discs with fabricated tears and scars. And it is a jibe at publicity-hungry artists who spill tales of conflict in the studio to feed the chaos-friendly media...
What did it say? Something about how to reconcile life and death. Libeskind's design for the site, unveiled along with eight other proposals at a press conference in New York City in December, preserves the entire 70-ft.-deep basin as a kind of primordial imprint of the towers.

...robotic paw will scratch and claw at nearby rocks, sniffing for the trace gases, organic compounds and complex chemicals. Soil samples will be dug out using the mole, a robot that can tunnel deep beneath the surface. Any life on Mars, past or present, would leave its chemical imprint - or 'fossil' - inside the rock. Pillinger's team has developed a miniaturized gas analysis package (GAP) to heat up rock and soil in an oven, process the gases released and analyze them using a mass spectrometer (which measures elements in minute quantities). By recording the temperature at which the heated samples...
...lowbrow kicks has gotten nearly impossible. Fortunately the world still has Alan Moore, the English comicbook writer who first achieved stateside acclaim in the 1980s with "The Watchmen." For the last couple of years Moore has been the principle writer of multiple titles under the America's Best Comics imprint of Wildstorm Productions (an imprint of DC Comics, a subsidiary of TIME.com's parent corporation, AOL Time Warner). Out of the various projects, "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," "Tom Strong," and "Top Ten" among them, one title has particularly stood out. "Promethea" has just finished, with issue 23, a remarkable...
