9:00PMPOV: Steam of Life
From a land of long, dark winters
comes “Steam of Life,” a moody,
comic and moving study of Finnish
men, as framed by the national
obsession with the sauna. There,
they come together to sweat out
not only the grime of contempo-
rary life, but also their grief, hopes,
joys and memories. Beautifully
and hauntingly shot, the acclaimed
film provides a surprising glimpse
into the lives of Finnish men and a
remarkable depiction of the trou-
bled and often reticent hearts of
contemporary Western men.

7:00PM Nature: Black Mamba
8:00PMNOVA: Rat Attack
Every 48 years, the inhabitants of
the remote Indian state of Mizo-
ram suffer a horrendous ordeal
known locally as mautam. An in-
digenous species of bamboo,
blanketing 30 percent of Mizo-
ram's 8,100 square miles, blooms
once every half-century, spurring
an explosion in the rat population
that feeds off the bamboo's fruit.
The rats run amok, destroying
crops and precipitating a crippling
famine throughout Mizoram.
NOVA follows this gripping tale of
nature's capacity to engender
human suffering and investigates
the botanical mystery of why the
bamboo flowers with clockwork
precision every half-century

Killer Stress:
A National Geographic Special
Stress. It's always been there to
save our lives. It's what made us
run from predators and enabled us
to take down prey. But today, hu-
mans are turning on that same
stress response to deal with 30-
year mortgages, difficult bosses,
teenagers and traffic jams. Some
of us are wallowing in corrosive
hormones; for the first time, scien-
tists can reveal just how measura-
ble and dangerous that exposure
can be. MacArthur "Genius Grant"
recipient and Stanford University
neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky
and National Geographic search
for answers to why stress seems
to be killing us.

8:00PM NOVA:
Hunting the Hidden Dimensions
What do movie special effects, the
stock market, heart attacks and
the rings of Saturn have in com-
mon? They're all connected by a
revolutionary new branch of math
called fractals, which has changed
the way we see the world and
opened up a vast new territory to
scientific analysis and understand-
ing. NOVA tells the dramatic story
of a group of pioneering mathe-
maticians who developed fractals
from a curiosity that few took seri-
ously to an approach that is touch-
ing nearly every branch of
understanding — including what
happened after the Big Bang and
the ultimate fate of our universe.
9:00PM Earth: The Operator’s Manual
An operators’ manual helps keep
your car or computer running at
peak performance. Earth science
can do the same for the planet.
Join geologist Richard Alley as he
travels the world, from New
Zealand to China, Brazil, Spain
and Morocco with stops in New
Orleans, Texas and military bases
in California. This accurate, under-
standable and upbeat report on
the interconnected stories of hu-
mans and fossil fuels, Earth’s cli-
mate history and our future energy
options will leave you amazed at
the beauty and bounty of the
planet, inspired by human ingenu-
ity, and optimistic about the future.

7:00PM Nature: Is that Skunk?
It's a familiar but mysterious crea-
ture in woods and neighborhoods
all across America. Its infamous
weapon is one of the most awful
scents in all of nature. Now, in-
trepid researchers and camera-
men track skunks day and night
across California, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Ohio, even Martha's
Vineyard, uncovering how they
hunt, forage, mate and raise
amazingly cute babies - all the
things they're up to when they're
not spraying the local dog. And
yes, the remarkable secrets of that
stink will be revealed!
8:00PM
Masterpiece: Mystery!
Kevin Whately returns as Inspec-
tor Lewis for a second season.
The much-loved Oxford policeman
is once again joined by Laurence
Fox (“A Room With a View”) as
Lewis’ young partner DS Hath-
away. As the relationship between
inspector and sergeant grows and
develops, the viewer sees new
sides to the duo. Alan Cumming
hosts.

9:00PM Objects and Memory
OBJECTS AND MEMORY exam-
ines the response to items recov-
ered or offered after 9/11 and
other national tragedies. The film
uses objects and accounts of peo-
ple whose lives were affected, in-
terviews with historians and
poignant, powerful photographic
images. Why do people value ob-
jects? What is it about a piece of
paper, a chunk of metal or a small
coin that provokes such powerful
memories? Without the objects,
the stories would lack vibrancy;
without the stories, the objects
would lack significance. Taken to-
gether, images of these objects,
the memories they evoke and the
accounts of their collection lead
viewers on a path where the com-
monplace is transformed into the
remarkable and the stuff of history
is highly personalized. The pro-
gram, set to the music of Philip
Glass, is narrated by Frank Lan-
gella.

7:00PM History Detectives
The mystery behind a camera
takes Wes to the White House
pressroom. Did this Civil War doll
smuggle medicine past the North-
ern blockade? A 15th century map
tells us more about how Europe
colonized Florida.
8:00PM Frontline
9:00PM POV: Armadillo
In 2009, Janus Metz and camera-
man Lars Skree accompanied a
platoon of Danish soldiers to Ar-
madillo, a combat operations base
in southern Afghanistan. For six
months, often while under fire,
they captured the lives of the
young soldiers fighting the Taliban
in a hostile and confusing environ-
ment, where official rhetoric about
helping civilians too often met the
unforgiving reality of being a for-
eign occupier. Winner of the Crit-
ics’ Week Grand Prix at Cannes,
“Armadillo” is one of the most dra-
matic and candid accounts of
combat to come out of
Afghanistan.

NOVA:
Becoming Human
‘First Steps’
The first episode explores fresh
clues about our earliest ancestors
in Africa, including the stunningly
complete fossil nicknamed "Lucy's
Child." These three-million-year-
old bones from Ethiopia reveal hu-
manity's oldest and most telltale
trait - upright walking, rather than
a big brain. Part 1 of 3
8:00PM NOVA: Becoming Human
‘Birth of Humanity’
The second program tackles the
mysteries of how our ancestors
managed to survive in a savannah
teeming with vicious predators,
and when and why we first left our
African cradle to colonize every
corner of the earth. Part 2 of 3.
9:00PM NOVA: Becoming Human ‘Last
Human Standing’
In the final program, NOVA probes
a wave of dramatic new evidence,
based partly on cutting-edge DNA
analysis, that reveals new insights
into how we became today’s cre-
ative and “behaviorally modern”
humans and what really happened
to the enigmatic Neanderthals who
faded into extinction. Part 3 of 3.

On June 23, 25 and 26, The Art and Antiques Auction
was live on KCOS-TV. The types of art ranges from
acrylic, photography, sculptures and prints, to name a
few. There were also unique antiques and furniture.
Year after year, this event allows us the opportunity to
continue providing quality programing to El Paso and
southern New Mexico. Our success depends on tal-
ented and generous local artists who donate their art to
support their public television station.
Our very special thanks to:
