...boulevard on the eastern side of the Brandenburg Gate - "and to position the speakers appropriately." The plan also involved broadcasting the Jackson concert in a stadium in East Berlin with a two-minute delay, so the East Germans could replace the live performance with a videotape of a previous performance should Jackson make any undesirable political comments...
...emissions problem directly, we need to look at fuel, not Fords: institute carbon taxes that raise the price of gas. We already know that higher gas prices discourage driving and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions - total vehicle miles traveled in the U.S. declined 3.6% in 2008 compared with the previous year, thanks largely to the sky-high price of gas for much of 2008. (The recession didn't help, but sharp declines in driving began well before the bottom dropped out of the economy.) As gas prices have fallen in 2009, however, driving has begun to tick back...
...spreading in the U.S., even during the summer - chiefly in summer camps and military installations, where young people are spending a lot of time in close contact. That alone shows just how transmissible this new virus is: we're dry kindling, and H1N1 is the match. But as with previous viruses in previous years, the real test for H1N1 - and for public-health officials who are planning their response to it - will come in the fall and winter...
...Pressurized Reactor (EPR). Areva beat out Westinghouse and General Electric-Hitachi in 2003 to win a contract with Finland's main utility Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) to build the plant. GE-Hitachi, Mitsubishi and Westinghouse all sell their own third-generation reactors, which are more efficient and safer than previous designs. But Areva's EPR boasts innovations that led the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists to call its design the only one with "the potential to be significantly safer and more secure against attack than today's reactors." Areva spokesman Jacques-Emmanuel Saulnier said the win was crucial...
Eisenmann stresses that while the new study found an association between TV-viewing and higher blood-pressure readings, it did not measure whether children developed hypertension. However, in previous studies involving the same group of children, whom he and the other scientists have been studying for four years, about 20% of the children had developed prehypertension or hypertension - often because of weight gain...
