Because video drains batteries quickly, another challenge MicroOptical faces is installing an efficient power source in the glasses without generating eye-punishing heat or bulking the device up. Kokinakis says people tend to watch video in 20-min. vignettes while sitting on a train or plane, so the goggles may not need the same battery power demanded of notebook computers. For now, he says, the iPod gadget relieves you of having to tilt your head down or hold your arm up to look at the image...
...memo from somewhere in the Bush Administration sank the President's plans for a take-charge summit. Al-Maliki abruptly canceled his planned meeting with Bush--a snub for which there is no well-known precedent--and waited until the following morning to have breakfast and a shortened, 45-min. session with him.

...racially gerrymandering school- attendance zones in the 1980s and then by instituting its 15/50 "managed choice" program in the '90s. This system has maintained not only integrated schools but also community peace. Despite all the long bus trips--the average ride for Jefferson County students is about 45 min.--77% of Jefferson County parents agreed that guidelines should be used to ensure diversity, according to a survey conducted in 2000 by the University of Kentucky. The district also assiduously tracks the percentage of the county's school-age children who attend public school, and in recent years, when private schools...
