...videos, smiles from a simpler age, and the full weight of memory itself come crashing through the TV set, plastering the guy's glass walls with images from a life gone rushing by. So don't blink, and don't you dare spend too much time trapped in those tubular interwebs. 'Cause you're gonna die soon...
...series. Purely abstract pieces that study the relationships between curved and angular shapes line one wall. Facing these sketches are still-lifes and human figures that represent the application of Léger’s new artistic technique. Both the representational and abstract pieces are dominated by the tubular forms and contrasting colors that Léger’s work is identified with. Despite their diverse subjects, the works in this exhibit possess similarly dynamic and compact compositions. Léger concentrates the energy in the center of each image with tightly arranged tubes and cubes that explode...
...creating an entirely new kind of battery, not by building it but by growing it. Working with several M.I.T. colleagues, Belcher has engineered a virus, known as M13 bacteriophage, that latches onto and coats itself with bits of inorganic materials, including gold and cobalt oxide. That turns each long, tubular virus into what amounts to a minuscule length of wire. Coax these nanowires to line up, and you have the components of a battery that is far more compact and powerful than anything available...
...forest diebacks occurring across the West. "People tend to think of forests as pretty slow changing," says Craig Allen, an ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. "But once certain thresholds are exceeded, very rapid changes can occur." In some cases, thirsting trees perish because their circulatory systems--the long tubular columns in the trunk that transport water from the roots to the crown--collapse. In other cases, the trees become so weak they can no longer fend off insects and disease...
...killing. Mijailovic can be released if psychiatrists deem him recovered. Probable Cause FRANCE A preliminary government report concluded that the partial collapse of a terminal building at Charles de Gaulle airport in May, which killed four passengers, was likely caused by metal support struts piercing the tubular structure's concrete shell. Their Day in Court YEMEN The oft-delayed trial of six alleged al-Qaeda members accused of planning the suicide attack on the destroyer USS Cole opened in Sanaa. The attack, in Aden harbor in October 2000, left 17 American sailors dead. Alleged mastermind Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri...
