- Muslim Misgivings About US Military Action in Afghanistan (Radio Netherlands - Kievit)
Provides a Muslim perspective on American actions in the context of the past ten years. Many Muslims believe that the USA has become a supporter for "state terrorism" by Israel against Palestinians. They do not support bin Laden's actions, but they do agree that the USA has had very unfair policies. Editor's Note - Islam does not support the practice of separating "church and state." Therefore, an attack by Israelis against Palestinian Muslims is viewed by Muslims worldwide as an attack against Islam. The USA's support of the Israelis after attacks is therefore seen as support of attacks against Islam. 10-01

This screening is probably not necessary until the fifth grade."

- Murrow, Edward R. (Museum of Broadcast Communications)
Provides a profile. "Edward R. Murrow is the most distinguished and renowned figure in the history of American broadcast journalism. He was a seminal force in the creation and development of electronic newsgathering as both a craft and a profession. Murrow's career began at CBS in 1935 and spanned the infancy of news and public affairs programming on radio through the ascendancy of television in the 1950s, as it eventually became the nation's most popular news medium. In 1961, Murrow left CBS to become director of the United States Information Agency for the new Kennedy administration. By that time, his peers were already referring to a 'Murrow legend and tradition' of courage, integrity, social responsibility, and journalistic excellence, emblematic of the highest ideals of both broadcast news and the television industry in general." 11-05
- Israeli Soldier Kills U.N. Worker (Independent)
"An investigation by the Israeli army found that when Mr Hook emerged from a caravan into the open courtyard of the UN compound, an Israeli soldier mistook the mobile phone he was carrying for a grenade and opened fire on him, the radio reported."
"It is not clear why the soldier opened fire into a compound clearly marked with UN signs and a blue flag. 'The compound is well-known to Israelis. It is inexcusable to fire into it for any reason,' a UN source said yesterday.' " "The Israeli army was already coming under heavy international criticism over Mr Hook's death after the UN revealed that Israeli soldiers had blocked an ambulance from getting to the relief worker after he was shot, considerably delaying its arrival." 11-02
- 02-11-03 CIA and FBI Report Strong Threats (USAToday.com)

- Democracy, Media, and Deregulation (ReclaimtheMedia.org - Lawson)
"The most likely result of dropping our cross-ownership ban would not be the creation of small, geographically-focused media firms sharing resources to create high-quality, regionally accountable content. Rather, such deregulation, combined with loosened broadcast ownership caps, would throw open the door to the expansion of already-huge national networks with the market power to choke out or absorb small competitors, with programming decisions emitted from centralized headquarters. (Imagine a faintly localized version of USA Today being the only newspaper and CNN the only TV or radio broadcast news source available to a community)." 4-03
- Democracy, Media, and Deregulation (Alternet.org - Schmelzer)
"Indeed, the issue of centralized news will be exacerbated after the FCC's June 2 vote on ownership. On the chopping block are six regulations that attempt to preserve a diversity of voices and local control of media – from the ban on owning both a TV station and newspaper in the same market to limits on how many radio stations one group can own in a given area."
"Should the FCC vote to weaken these protections – as expected – more of our airwaves will be concentrated in the hands of a few corporations."
Nichols says, " ' We still have a highly regulated media. The only thing that is changing is that it's now being regulated in the interests not of democracy or the people, but larger corporations.' " 4-03
- Faith-Based Environmentalism (EMagazine)
"One factor in the resurgence of faith-based environmentalism is the 1993 founding of the National Religious Partnership for the Environment (NRPE) by a former radio talk show host and spokesperson for New York City’s Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine named Paul Gorman (see sidebar interview). NRPE quickly proved its effectiveness by joining together and helping educate such disparate and mainstream bodies as the U.S. Catholic Conference (the policy agency for all Catholic bishops, clergy and parishes), the National Council of Churches of Christ (a federation of Protestant, Eastern Orthodox and African-American denominations), the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL, an alliance across all four Jewish movements) and the Evangelical Environmental Network (a coalition of evangelical Christian agencies and institutions)." 5-03
- Researchers Invent a 50-Year Microscopic Battery (Cornell)
"The prototype [battery] is made up of a copper strip 1 millimeter wide, 2 centimeters long and 60 micrometers (millionths of a meter) thick that is cantilevered above a thin film of radioactive nickel-63, which emits beta particles (electrons)."
"The emitted electrons collect on the copper strip, building a negative charge, while the isotope film, losing electrons, becomes positively charged. The attraction between positive and negative bends the rod down. When the rod gets close enough to the isotope, a current flows, equalizing the charge. The rod springs up, and the process repeats." 6-03
- Researchers Invent a 50-Year Microscopic Battery (Context Weblog)
"The prototype is the first MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) version of a larger device."
"The device converts the energy stored in the radioactive material directly into motion. It could directly move the parts of a tiny machine or could generate electricity in a form more useful for many circuits than has been possible with earlier devices." 6-03

- Freed, Alan (RockHall.com)
"Disk jockey Alan Freed is widely credited with coining the term 'rock and roll' to describe the uptempo black R&B records he played as early as 1951 on Cleveland radio station WJW. Freed called himself 'the Moondog' and billed his show as the 'Moondog Rock ‘n' Roll Party.' A tireless and enthusiastic advocate of the music he played, Freed kept time to his favorite records by beating his hands on a phone book. He called it rock and roll because 'it seemed to suggest the rolling, surging beat of the music.' The Freed-sponsored 1952 Moondog Coronation Ball in Cleveland is believed to be the nation's first rock and roll concert." 9-03
