BEYOND BAR GRAPHS Some firms are pushing for yet more clarity. Using shorter-wavelength radar waves measured in millimeters, not centimeters, Millivision in Amherst, Mass., makes a device that goes well beyond colored blobs. "What we are doing is real imaging," says Richard Huguenin, chief technology officer. "You see a picture." Actually, it's more like a shadow. The human body, as it turns out, naturally emits millimeter radiation that goes right through clothes. So anything blocking that emission, such as a concealed gun or wallet, shows up as a shadow in the images produced by Millivision's prototype scanners...
...deterrence in the 21st century. We have to talk about the Kyoto Protocol, that is very important for the Europeans.

...that guy on the next barstool, the talk on Right Radio had the fervid certitude of true believers. George W. Bush is the voice of pure reason; Al Gore, says a caller to Grant's show, is the latest tyrant in a "pure dictatorship." ("We're on the same wavelength," Bizarro Bob replies...
Unfortunately, protection against uvb doesn't guarantee protection against longer-wavelength ultraviolet-A, a second form of UV radiation that penetrates deeper into the skin. The academy and the fda are still trying to figure out how to test and rate the effectiveness of sunscreens against this part of the UV spectrum. Until they succeed, look for products designated as "broad-spectrum" sunscreens, offering some protection against both forms...
