Studies confirm ABS-CBN's nationwide leadership
Manila Bulletin

The March 4 to 31, 2007 nationwide TV ratings data from AGB-NMR
National Urban TV Audience

Measurement (NUTAM) declared that ABS-CBN is the leading TV station
nationwide. Registering

an overall share of 47% vs. competition's 35%, ABS-CBN is very
comfortably ahead of GMA-7

by 12 rating points.


The NUTAM confirmed that seventeen (17) programs in the top twenty
(20) ranking of programs

being watched in the country are from ABS-CBN, demonstrating the
network's superiority in

various program categories. The evening primetime is dominated by
"Sana Maulit Muli"

(36.1%), "Maging Sino Ka Man" (33.87%) and "Flordeluna." (29.7), while
the early evening

newscast is led by "TV Patrol World" (31.7%). The leader in the true
story/drama anthology

genre is "Maalaala Mo Kaya" (25.3%), while the evening reality class
is ruled by "Pinoy Big

Brother Season 2" (24 %) and the late night news is controlled by
"Bandila" (8.1%)

Other category leaders are: "Komiks" (29.9%), fantasy series; "John En
Shirley" (26.9%) and

"Goin' Bulilit"(25.6%), Comedy; "Sharon" (23.1%), talk show; "XXX
Exklusibong,"

"Explosibong Expose" (28.8%) and "Rated K Handa Na Ba Kayo?" (28.2%),
current affairs. For

weekday daytime, "Wowowee" (27.3%) leads the noontime/game/variety;
"Home Boy" (14%), talk.

The weekend daytime has Love Spell (18.2%) leading in the fantasy
series, "ASAP 07" (20.3%)

in musical variety and "The Buzz" (17.4%) in show business talk.

On the other hand, the Neilsen Media Research Nationwide Media
Landscape Study in November

2006, confirmed ABS-CBN's national leadership with 91% nationwide
regularly watching

ABS-CBN. In terms of preference, the study corroborates that the
station is the favorite

station nationwide at 62%. As a primary source of information ABS-CBN
is the most sought

after nationally (77%), and its News and Current Affairs group as the
most trusted (66%) as

well.

The Nielsen TV Diary (March 2007) and PSRC's Day After Recall (4th
quarter, 2006) also

supported ABS-CBN's national leadership claim as the studies disclosed
that ABS-CBN leads

the way in channel shares across all 13 non-metered regional TV areas
nationwide. The

various nationwide studies showed that ABS-CBN has indeed corned
audience viewership in the

country.

"The marked leadership has prompted ABS-CBN to increase advertising
rates by 15%," ABS-CBN

CFO Mike Navarette said. `The 5 to 7% figure quoted in an earlier
interview of me actually

referred to an estimate of the 2007 impact of the price adjustment to
the company's total

revenues, inclusive of non-airtime revenues," Navarette explained, and
quickly extended

apology on behalf of the network for the mistaken information
published in media.

Lost world

MANILA, Philippines -- When I was a child and I made a wish, I wished only for myself. Other people did not concern me. I had the whole world for my playground and I could always play somewhere else.

As I grew up, I learned about selfishness and egocentrism. I junked my childish wishes, dismissing them as selfish wishes.

When I was young and I made promises, I did so even if I was not sure that I could keep them. Broken promises wouldn't do me any harm, I thought. But as I grew up, I learned about honor. I made promises that I could keep since then, and I have kept the promises I made.

When I was a child, I thought I was good. I grew up and realized that I was working simply on Freud's id.

I realize that I was not really that bad as a child, though I was not perfect either. But one thing I'm sure of is that I was better as a child than what I am today. And I could have been better if I had only outgrown the things that made a child immature but kept the things that made him innocent.

So I resolved to relearn some of the skills inherent in a child, some of the things I learned as a child, and some of the things I gave up as I grew up.

I want to learn to say no again, and say it firmly. I wish to say no again without explanations.

While growing up, I learned that there are some things to which we cannot say no. My mistake was to think that we had to say yes to everything we do not say no to. Luckily, before everybody came asking me for favors, I had Ella Enchanted's epiphany and I started to question the gift of obedience.

I wish to know how it feels to tell the spontaneous truth again, and not lie for once. I remember the old joke where a child was asked, "Where is your mother?" His answer was: "Sabi po niya wala daw siya (She wants me to tell you that she's not here)." Sometimes, I feel that adults are so careful about everything they say and they make a conscious effort to say only the things that the world wants to hear.

I would love to be a child again and say all the things I feel like saying, whenever I feel like saying it and wherever I feel like saying it, without ever having to think about how it sounds, how it would be accepted, or if it would ever be accepted.

I wish to regain my simple understanding of the world. I want to forget that I am part of this problematic world, that it is problematic and that it is my obligation to do something about it. I imagine believing yet again that what I see is the correct order of things, that what I see is normal.

Every time I see bullets being fired or bombs being dropped, I wish to look at the scene through the eyes of a child and comfort myself with the thought that those who are dead were bad people, that God punishes bad people, and that they deserved to die.

I wish to cry again without ever explaining why. Actually, I still cry without explanation sometimes. It doesn't look good, but it feels good. I want to cry without people asking me why. I want to cry without seeing the kind of look on other people's faces that says it's odd for me to be crying at my age or I'm too old to do such a stupid thing.

I wish to do stupid things again. Sometimes I want to live without reason. In the adult world we live in, everything is governed by reason and in effect, by questions. Why live? Why love? Why kill? Why be killed? Why die? Why be happy?

The world is constricted by reason. Instead of living in a vast world of choices--stupid, happy choices--what we see is a road which we are all expected to follow. I try as much as I can to stray from that direction. I do not wish to find myself in a fork in the road where I have to choose which path to take. I have always thought it best to lose direction. Then I would be breaking a new path instead of choosing from two diverging roads. The latter, I believe is the true definition of being lost.

I wish to go back to the time when I could go anywhere in the spirit of adventure, believing that I can always go back when I find that my anywhere leads to woe or nowhere at all. I hate living for some known purposes sometimes. I hate reaching for already-envisioned goals.

Oftentimes, I close my eyes and grieve over the fact that the world has become dysfunctional on account of the concept of rewards and punishments. People do something for other people only because they will benefit from it. People do not do things to other people only because they think they will be punished if they do. I also hate the fact that the only thing I am capable of doing is to close my eyes and grieve over a much lamented fact, and wishing things would change when I open my eyes again.

I want to be a child again so that I can make-believe that I am superman, that I am invincible and that I can change the world. Yes, I wish to believe that I can change the world.

I admit that the world has filled me with cynicism. I am cynical, and I survive because of it. I find it odd that other people claim to have survived because of hope and faith, because I believe I live because I have ceased hoping and believing.

I gave up my hopes because if I still hoped today, I would die of frustration tomorrow.

But I wish that I were a child again so that I would have enough hope in me so that if today I died of frustration, tomorrow I would simply hope to live again--and perhaps hope again tomorrow.

Uranus rings 'were seen in 1700s'

Uranus rings 'were seen in 1700s'

By Paul Rincon Science reporter, BBC News, Preston

Uranus' rings could have first been seen in the 18th Century

The rings around the planet Uranus may have been spotted nearly 190 years prior to the accepted date for their discovery, according to a theory.

According to the orthodox view, the rings around Uranus were detected during an experiment in 1977.

Now, a scientist has re-evaluated a claim made in 1797 by astronomer Sir William Herschel that he saw rings around the seventh planet.

The claim had previously been dismissed as a mistake.

The new idea was presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in Preston, UK.

Dr Stuart Eves, who works for Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, first came up the idea when he was given a framed page from an encyclopaedia published in 1815 for his birthday.

The page shows an orrery - a mechanical device detailing the relative positions and motions of planets and moons.

I started to add up all the statistics and I said: I reckon he had a point Stuart Eves, Surrey Satellite Technology

Made by the craftsman William Pearson, it showed the planet Uranus, with its spin axis in the correct plane, with six smaller objects spinning around it.

It was unlikely that these objects were moons. Although two Uranus satellites were found the 18th Century, the sixth moon of Uranus was not found until 1985, after Nasa's Voyager probe flew past the planet.

After researching the subject, Dr Eves found that the Pearson orrery in the encyclopaedia page was based on observations made by Sir William Herschel, who discovered the seventh planet in 1781.

'A ring suspected'

When Dr Eves tracked down Herschel's notes detailing his observations of Uranus, he found the following passage: "February 22, 1789: A ring was suspected".

Herschel even drew a small diagram of the ring and noted that it was "a little inclined to the red". The Keck Telescope in Hawaii has since confirmed this to be the case. Herschel's notes were published in a Royal Society journal in 1797.

Dr Eves told BBC News: "I was thinking, 'could he have got all of that right'? He has one ring, rather than multiple rings as there are at Saturn; it is relatively close to the planet and it's about the right size.

"The opening angle is about right. Astronomical software indicates that it may have been slightly more open as viewed from Earth on the dates Herschel was observing," he added.

"But there are reasons for thinking that the ring plane moves about a bit, and he has the major axis of the ring plane in the right direction. I started to add up all the statistics and I said: I reckon he had a point.

"[Herschel] is not just superimposing a saturnian-style ring system on Uranus. I think it is compelling from a psychological point of view, because he really didn't have much to compare it with at the time."

Other astronomers have dismissed the possibility that Herschel discovered rings around Uranus. They claim that it would have been far too faint for him to have seen from the ground, using contemporary telescopes.

Clear skies

The ring was officially discovered in 1977 during an occultation experiment. One question some will be asking is why no one saw the ring in the intervening years.

Stuart Eves thinks there may be a few reasons for this. Firstly, there are only a few windows of opportunity during which the rings present themselves to Earth.

The Cassini-Huygens mission has also observed darkening of the rings of Saturn. This may be due to dust accumulating on the icy material in the rings.

If this process is happening on Saturn, Dr Eves argues, it could be happening on Uranus. The seventh planet's rings may have been brighter in 1787, allowing Herschel to spot them from Earth. Several other effects could also cause variability in the rings, including loss of material from them.

Another factor may lie with the Earth's atmosphere. As the industrial revolution proceeded apace, light pollution and smog may have prevented subsequent observers from seeing the planet's rings.

More speculatively, a cold snap called the Maunder Minimum, which lasted from 1645 to 1715 and saw temperatures that were on average five degrees lower than today, might have removed water vapour from the atmosphere, locking it up as ice.

If the climate was still relatively cold by the time Herschel made his observations, less water vapour may have made skies clearer and therefore more suitable for astronomy.
