...Perhaps Ashcroft fears that even honest attorneys may unwittingly transmit some innocent-sounding code word - "rosebud" - to terrorists on the loose. Providing lawyers with security briefings about what to watch out for would reduce this risk. And instead of putting federal agents in the room where inmates meet lawyers, the government could videotape the conversations in exceptional cases. These tapes could be reviewed in private by a judge with top-security clearance and briefing. Unless the judge found lawyer-client misconduct, executive officials would be denied access to the tapes...
...keep their doors open. Increasing numbers of baby boomers who left the fold years ago are turning religious again, but many are traveling from church to church or faith to faith, sampling creeds, shopping for a custom-made God...Analysts say mainliners are suffering because they have failed to transmit a compelling Christian message to their own children or to anybody else. "One thing about the Episcopalians, Methodists and Catholics," says Margaret Poloma, professor of sociology at the University of Akron, "is that people in leadership positions are out of touch with the people in the pews.

...users also have to be careful when handling hot objects such as cigarettes or coffee. To get around this problem, Thomas Sinkjaer and colleagues at the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction at Denmark's Aalborg University are developing neural prosthetics that can actually feel the texture of objects and transmit this information back to the user...
...mandate that gained urgency following the Sept. 11 tragedies. Global Locate, a San Jose, Calif., company that creates global-positioning-system technology, could benefit from the upgrade. The company has developed a chip (above, next to a standard microchip), about half the size of a fingernail, that can transmit a cell phone's location to the police and authorized callers (your buddy list) with GPS. What's more, the signal continues to transmit when the user is indoors, a task that has been difficult for other GPS devices. The chip is being tested by several cell-phone manufacturers and will...
...called 3G networks. The company became the first in the world to offer full-fledged commercial 3G service last fall when it unveiled its FOMA (Freedom of Mobile Multimedia Access) system, a network so advanced it allows phones to download data-intensive graphics, MP3 music files and even to transmit video. But consumer acceptance has failed to match launch-day hype. Third-generation handsets cost three to five times as much as conventional phones. They are clunky, glitch-prone and have a relatively short battery life. Coverage is absent in all but three major cities and there is little content...
