...that point, Lozano says, that he saw the headlights of a Toyota Corolla coming through the mist. Lozano says he immediately turned on his extremely high wattage flashlight and aimed it at the driver signaling him to stop. He says a soldier in the other Humvee also flashed a green laser pointer at the driver. But, according to Lozano, the car did not reduce its speed. Lozano says his spotlight signal had proven effective in either stopping or turning around all other vehicles that night. When the vehicle passed the warning line and did not stop, Lozano says the soldiers...
...Lozano says he and his men followed the standard rules of engagement established by the military. He put down the flashlight, took hold of his mounted M-240 machine gun and commenced the warning shots. He says he fired first into the grassy area on the other side of the road, straight across the driver's field of vision, each bullet followed by a bright red tracer round so that they could be heard and also seen in the dark. When the car did not slow down, Lozano says he fired at the ground in front of it, then into...
...inauguration. Some are more than just curiosity seekers. Stephan Stucky lives in the Swiss town of Brig-Glis, which is shut out from the sun for two months each winter. He was expecting more from the mirror. "I thought you'd feel the warmth. It's more like a flashlight," he says, looking up and squinting. "I was expecting deck chairs and umbrellas, and cold drinks."

I watched these scenes unfold in Baghdad with my friend Omar, who chuckled when he saw a doctor shining a flashlight in Saddam's open mouth. It reminded him of a trader checking the teeth of a new donkey, he said. Was this the same man who had been beamed into Iraqi living rooms for hours on end, delivering speeches in a pressed uniform, his hair smartly dyed black, his mustache...
Enfucell batteries won't power your digital camera, your flashlight or your watch. At 1.5 volts they might be sufficiently powerful, but they don't last long enough. Rather, Happonen hopes first to sell large quantities to the makers of rfid (radio frequency identification) tags, which don't draw constant power and lend themselves to the battery's thinness. rfid tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered rfid tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered...
