...Consumers, though, are still wary of electric vehicles because of their limited range and the time it takes to replenish batteries. "You go out for the day and you don't want to get stuck," says Richter. A full charge for the i-MiEV takes 7 hours; a quick charge of 80% takes 30 minutes. Mitsubishi's development group wanted to ease concerns by making a car with a range significantly greater than the average daily commute of about 25 miles (40 km) in Japan's urban areas. But until charging stations become prevalent in cities, worries will remain. "Infrastructure...
...fair, of course, to compare the iPhone to the Palm Pre, which went on sale Saturday. The Pre is the first smart alternative to the iPhone, but it's still only an infant at this point. It's like comparing a baby to a 35-year-old - one is full of potential, but the other is already making its mark on the world.

Thurman's argument: "If he wanted Tibetan traditional [education] he could have reincarnated in a Tibetan family in exile." The result of the misplacement, he says, is that Hita "has broken away in a full-blown identity crisis." Thurman thinks that after some time in our "busy postmodern world," Hita may see the value of the Tibetan tradition, "which he will then be able to approach or not, of his own free choice." And, he adds, "More power...
...neighboring countries of Lebanon and Jordan. Incensed over the expulsion, various militant factions, including the powerful Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) led by Yasser Arafat, began sprouting up in Palestinian refugee camps in southern Lebanon in the 1960s. The PLO's attacks on Israel's northern border prompted a full-scale invasion by Israeli troops in 1982, a conflict which angered south Lebanon's largely Shi'ia Muslim community - which directly suffered the consequences of Israel's military intervention - and fueling the rise of the next generation of militant groups, Hizballah among them. "When we entered Lebanon, there was no Hizballah...
