Users looking for more practical applications might wait for later versions of Cye. It cannot manage stairs, so forget about its answering the door if you live in a split-level home. And while you can put Cye down in a room and automatically set up a zigzagging vacuum path, it's not recommended since the optional vacuum tends to get fouled in its electric cord. A cordless model is in the works. Likewise, a camera is being considered, which would make navigating--and Stein harassment--that much simpler...
...Bryants have a billboard-size NO TUNNEL sign in front of their split-level, four-bedroom house. But they can almost hear the bulldozer creeping closer, with bids on the roadway project due this week, and it isn't just Steve Wynn who's behind the wheel. If the bids are within projections, he will have New Jersey Governor Christie Whitman and Atlantic City Mayor James Whelan with him, all of them preaching the gospel of small personal sacrifices for the greater public good. If you build it, suckers will come. As will thousands of jobs, millions of dollars...
...scarcely better at home: Dad is passive, Mom is aggressive; her elder brother is a computer nerd and the leader of a hopeless garage band; her little sister is a tattletale in a tutu, meanly waltzing off with such love as can survive in the cold climate of split-level suburbia...
...casket early Wednesday morning, cut Brown's hair every two weeks for 20 years in Shaw. It was the neighborhood Brown often frequented, where he dropped off his shoes to be repaired and ate lunch on Saturdays; nearby, he played his weekend basketball games and lived in a split-level town house in an integrated development right where black Washington gives way to white. "He was a down-to-earth person,'' says Johnson. "He helped me open my own shop." Johnson closed it briefly to join hundreds of others on the street to salute Brown as the cortege went past...
Additional artifacts could lie buried if, as Weeks believes, the tomb had an unusual split-level design. The ceilings of the corridors to the left and right of the statue of Osiris slope downward and then drop abruptly about 4 ft.-strong evidence of stairways. Says Weeks: "I think there are more rooms on the lower level." Moreover, while the doors that line the corridors all lead to identical 10-ft. by 10-ft. chambers, the openings themselves are only about 2 1/2 ft. wide, too narrow to accommodate a prince's sarcophagus. That suggests to Weeks that the rooms...
