http://www.history.com/schedule.do?action=daily The History Channel daily listings for Monday, July 6, 2009. All times ET/PT. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT 60 http://www.history.com/iceroadtruckers Another winter storm drops nearly a foot of fresh, new snow, obscuring the road south. Veteran driver Jack and the less experienced Lisa are determined to not lose any more time or money this season. They set out for Fairbanks before the snowplows even arrive. Further north on the haul road, that same blizzard causes a major collision near the icy hill called &quot;Slope Mountain.&quot;&nbsp; Tow truck driver Ben Krsykowski carefully pulls a truck cab and trailer back up on the road--knowing that the slightest spark could set off a massive explosion. Canadian ice road truckers Hugh and Alex try to complete their first solo runs. Hugh is ahead in this race--he reached Deadhorse the day before--while Alex continues to have mechanical problems. After safely reaching Fairbanks, Jack takes off again with a towering pipe rack--a load that barely clears the traffic lights in town. Finally reaching his destination with this precarious freight--he has a close encounter with a 1,100-pound moose. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/iceroadtruckers Lisa Kelly auditions to be the first woman to break into the elite Heavy Haul division by commanding a convoy of pilot cars while hauling 80-foot sections of wide-gauge pipe.&nbsp;Having spun out before with a much shorter load, she faces a daunting task involving a 600 mile run through the Brooks Range mountains, over the wind-blasted North Slope, and across the ice road of the Arctic Ocean itself.&nbsp; Hugh &quot;The Polar Bear&quot; Rowland aims for an even bigger title--that of master of all of North American ice roads.&nbsp;But Hugh's archrival Alex Debogorski is matching him shift-for-shift. In an epic five hundred mile race that runs from the truck yards of Fairbanks to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, Hugh and Alex duel for North American bragging rights. Tim Freeman's goal is a more universal one--survival.&nbsp;He wants to finish his rookie season with his truck, and himself, in one piece. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=464916 <P>Benedict and Pasquale reach an uneasy truce as the explorers trek to Tabora, site of the Livingstone house. There, one of the team comes down with malaria--ironically, the same place where Stanley contracted it. This puts the future of the expedition entirely in question.&nbsp;They decide to continue, and the Expedition heads off toward an uncertain future, knowing any relapse could lead to their failure.&nbsp;Time is critical if they want to make Ujiji in 30 days. With one of the team ill and needing care, the balance of power changes, and the group is exhausted. They make camp, but must build fires to ward off the danger from hippos. After a decision to rest for a day, confrontations ensue. Two of the team get into a huge fight, putting team unity--and hope for a successful expedition--into shambles.</P> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=464946 What do the symbols and numbers on the dollar bill actually mean? We'll take a look at the shadier and more intriguing threads of meaning and symbolism at play in the bill's design. Extraordinary strands of numerology are interwoven into the bill's structure, which, on analysis, suggest surprising hidden alignments. Why does it look the way it does and how has it changed through the ages? We'll analyze the significance of changes in the bill's appearance over time and examine alternative designs. We'll also&nbsp;look at&nbsp;the historical context of the bill's conception--what the dollar bill set out to represent--the patriotism and idealism of a young republic; and go inside the Treasury's Department of Printing and Engraving for exclusive access to the presses and the people who process the millions upon millions of dollars in circulation.

We cover everything from Japan's Seagaia, the world's largest indoor beach, to boardwalks, dune buggies, surfboards, sunglasses, suntan lotion, wave pools, and more. We examine the development of each product and explain the technological advances that have been made over the years. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=194020 The story of the great Apache guerrilla warrior Goyathlay, called by Mexicans Geronimo. Forced off his beloved Arizona land by American authorities in 1876, the embittered Geronimo launched a series of bloody raids against white settlers. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=276940 Are monster fish lurking in freshwater lakes and rivers? From the Arctic Circle to the Amazon, follow an expedition to find the biggest and nastiest giant fresh water fish, from catfish large enough to swallow children whole to trout as large as a boat. Scientists will deploy giant lures and underwater cameras in a search for monster fish. One-part history, one-part science and one part monster,&nbsp;discover the truth behind legendary monsters. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=444278 Engrained in the history and mythology of India are tales of a ferocious creature, half-man, half-ape.&nbsp;It has been dubbed the monkey-man and headlines across the world have told of the vicious nocturnal attacks that occurred in India's capital, New Delhi. The city's population was gripped with fear of a violent creature described by eyewitnesses as having sharp claws, fangs and dark hair. After three people died and dozens were hospitalized fleeing the creature, 3,000 police officers were tasked with capturing the animal, but came up empty handed. Experts were divided over whether this was a case of mass panic or an unknown primate. Even today, witnesses in other parts of the country continue to report terrifying encounters with a similar beast. <EM>MonsterQuest</EM> launches an expedition and meets the victims of the monkey man, sees their scars first hand and searches for a connection to the most recent sightings. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=440996 A remote island off the coast of Australia was once home to a real monster with vampire-like tendencies. The Tasmanian Tiger, which was known for its massive jaws and sharp incisors, stalked livestock and terrified the human inhabitants of the island before a bounty brought about the Tiger's extinction almost eighty years ago.&nbsp;But if the eyewitness stories and scientific breakthroughs are correct, this creature may be on the verge of making a comeback.&nbsp;Across Tasmania there have been over 350 sightings of this monster, including reports from experienced biologists and outdoorsmen. Meanwhile, in an Australian laboratory, one scientist is using a preserved strand of DNA in an attempt to resurrect the tiger. Now, the <EM>MonsterQuest </EM>science and expedition teams will seek to find the ultimate proof that the Tasmanian Tiger could be alive and stalking the subtropical forests of this distant island. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=452414 If there is one place on earth that could be home to a prehistoric flying monster, it is Papua New Guinea. These islands to the north of Australia are the closest thing to a real &quot;lost world&quot; and eyewitnesses here claim that a terrifying monster is circling above them. Natives call this creature the &quot;Demon Flyer,&quot; but its twenty-foot wingspan, gray leathery skin and crested head appear to be only one thing--a living pterosaurs. Ancient sea charts made by early explorers in the sixteenth century show that they saw pterosaur-like animals and warned mariners of these legendary monsters. <SPAN>Paleontologists</SPAN>, however, are doubtful and suggest that a more likely explanation is a yet to be discovered species of giant bat. Whichever theory is correct there is something here that has reportedly killed locals and may have been caught on tape by a western witness. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=447226 The most venomous creature of the sea is on the move and spreading across the oceans leaving a trail of baffled scientists and poisoned victims. These gelatinous monsters, which have been known to kill within three minutes, have been part of the ocean's ecosystem for more than 500 million years. However, changes to the seas and global warming may mean that mankind himself is creating this population explosion. Blooms of these floating death traps have been reported from New York's Hudson River to the beaches of Spain and have even shut down a nuclear power station in Japan. While little is known about many jellyfish species, new research is unraveling some frightening details: these creatures are not simply drifting blobs, but have an intelligence that proves that they are an apex predator of the sea. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/minisites/modernmarvels Some activities only occur when the world is dark. We stay up late off the coast of California to hunt some slippery and slimy nocturnal creatures: squid by the tens of thousands. Fishermen show us how they lure them into their net by mesmerizing them with the boat's powerful lights. We also visit Toronto, Canada, the self proclaimed &quot;worm capitol of the world&quot;, where an army of pickers pluck countless night crawlers emerging from their burrows. In Tennessee, we put a night vision lens on our camera to capture the action as military trainees try their hand at the latest night vision gear. And we'll experience how hard it is to evade a police helicopter's blindingly bright Spectrolab spotlight, or powerful noses and sharp teeth when the cops deploy their K-9 units. For some after hours fun, we'll see how more than six hundred, 2,000 watt lights can turn night into day inside the Pittsburgh Pirates' new state-of-the-art stadium.

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=466424 John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson, and Bonnie and Clyde are some of the most notorious criminals of the last century. Technological advances like the Tommy Gun, V-8 engines with electric starters, and bulletproof vests often gave the robbers the advantage over the police. A spree of robberies, killings and kidnappings during an 18-month period from 1933 to 1934 shook the nation to its core. The government responded with a war on crime that began with America's first national police force and the rise of the FBI. HD location photography, archival footage and evocative recreations are used to transport the viewer back to this era and to capture the hectic pace of this crime wave. Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:03:06 EDT http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=406316 February 1929: Al Capone takes on &quot;Bugs&quot; Moran in a battle for Chicago's underworld. Then: a burst from a Tommy gun and only one boss remained. Rare films and recreations offer the inside dope on organized crime's greatest mass murder. Narrated by Paul Sorvino.
