Bruno completed his education at the cathedral school at Reims, both in the liberal arts and scripture and returned to be a canon at St. Cunibert's, Cologne, but was recalled to direct the school at Reims in 1056.
Bruno discreetly avoided the cathedral city until in 1080 a definite sentence, confirmed by popular riot, compelled Manasses to withdraw and take refuge with the Emperor Henry IV, the fierce opponent of the ambitious current papacy of Gregory VII.
Bruno went to the Guiscard court at Mileto to visit the count in his sickness (1098 and 1101), and to baptize his son Roger (1097), the future King of Sicily.

Rossi was appointed associate professor of physics at Cornell University in the spring of 1940.
Rossi suggested that a venture into X-ray astronomy might prove very fruitful, not because of any theoretical predictions, but because nothing was known and there was the possibility for major new discoveries.5 Giacconi initiated a study of the theoretical and experimental possibilities for X-ray astronomy.

Building upon the theory developed by Carl Störmer, Rossi predicted that there should be an asymmetry in a spatial distribution of cosmic rays, dependent on the sign of their electrical charge.
During the same expedition, while testing instrumentation, Rossi and his collaborators discovered the occurrence of extensive showers of particles produced by interactions of cosmic rays in the atmosphere, a phenomenon subsequently studied by Pierre Auger, whose name became associated with its discovery.
Bruno Rossi was dismissed from his post as the director of the Physics Institute at the University of Padua in September 1938 because of his Jewish origins.

 2003 Bruno Rossi Prize   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Using NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Japanese Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics, she and her colleagues found that a neutron star they were studying was slowing down at precisely the rate required for a magnetic field of 800 trillion Gauss -- on the order of what Duncan and Thompson predicted.
The crushing magnetic fields -- slowing the star's spin and causing the surface to periodical crack -- are thought to be the cause of a magnetar's unusual pattern of radiation.
The prize is in honor of Professor Bruno Rossi, an authority of cosmic rays whose experimental techniques at the Los Alamos Laboratory and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave birth to the field of X-ray astronomy.

Fr Bruno Rossi, whose name appeared on an al-Qaeda-linked website, said inter-religious cooperation is good.
As evidence of this atmosphere of mutual exchange and help Father Rossi cites the work done “by Christians and Muslims in hospitals and refugee camps for those who lost everything in the tsunami”.
As further proof of this he mentions a recent ceremony in which “Christians, Muslims and Buddhist prayed together” as well as Phuket’s Christian school where there are only 35 Christian pupils in a school body of 1,400, mostly Buddhist and Muslim.
