Заметка

1. JAPAN Will Pay Top Yen for Hot Air

TEENS AND TWENTYSOME-things across Asia and Eu­rope have long coveted authen­tic American garb, regardless of how worn, torn or downright gamey the clothing in question. But in the used-Nike depart­ment, things have gotten way out of hand: a pair of Air Jordan sneakers from 1985 to 1991 (when namesake Michael Jor­dan was at his hottest) now sells for $200 and up in used-cloth­ing stores in Japan and France. Most prized among aficionados are the rare navy-and-white or yellow-and-black models, which have fetched as much as $2,000 a pair. "Those who are really cra­zy about Air Jordans even go for original shoe boxes," says Toshihiro Tokita, a clerk at Tokyo's White Head Eagle store.

2. FOLKTALES Farm Terror

TALES OF CHUPACABRAS — "the goatsucker"—are sweeping Spanish-speaking parts of south Florida. The noc­turnal barnyard killer, which was first reported last year in Puerto Rico, is now being blamed for slaughtering goats and chickens in Miami. De­scribed as a fanged "non-humanoid," chupacabras looks nothing like a dog— the real cul­prit, says a lo­cal zoologist.

3. PRODUCTS Sun Power

CAMCORDER BUFFS, CELLular-phone users and own­ers of other devices that run on rechargeable batteries—such as laptops and portable televi­sions—can now use them al­most anywhere without worry­ing about running out of power. Sun Celular Products Co. of Bellaire, Texas, is marketing a portable re-charger that uses ordinary daylight or di­rect sun to keep a rechargeable device going. Each charger consists of a se­ries of eight so­lar panels, less than one-six­teenth inch thick, arranged accordion style. Opened for charging, the panels measure three inches by eight inches. When folded, they can easily fit into a shirt pocket. "For the first time, the usability of rechargeables is not limited to the acces­sibility of a car or boat cigarette lighter," says Jerry Finberg, president of SunCel. The panels can also be charged from a wall outlet, which the makers say takes approximately 90 min­utes. Cost: $129.

4. Keeping Cool

WANT TO KEEP YOUR COOL while exercising at the gym, sunning on the beach or working on your car in the ga­rage?

Snake-Fan can be wound around the handlebars of a stationary bicy­cle, umbrella poles at the beach or the lamp on your desk. It is powered by two С batteries; a plug-in adapter is also avail­able.

5. CD-ROM Jurassic Island

THE PREMISE OF X the CD-ROM game version of James Gurney's best-selling series of illustrated children's books, "Dinotopia" ($50, Windows, 800-294-0022), is simple. You've been shipwrecked and cast ashore on a strange island in which humans and dinosaurs live to­gether peacefully. Your mission: explore the landscape and find your missing sister. The in­terface is a bit clunky, but the beautiful Gurney-inspired illustra­tions and the game's gentle humanism make up for it.

6. RELIGION New Hub

Scientology's Web site (http://www.sden tology.org), which opened this week, proves that devotees of L. Ron Hubbard's reli­gion are, well, devoted.

7. ON-LI N E Rotisserie Nirvana

JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING training, rotisserie baseball has hit the World Wide Web. In rotisserie, fans pretend to be owner, general manager and manager all at once. Keeping track of player statistics turns normally mild-mannered types into raving statistics junkies, desperate to know Brent Gates's average after the All-Star Game. One site offering balm for the afflicted is RoBO, set up by Health Data Services (http://www.infi.net/ robo/). It provides not on­ly tons of data but a matchmaking service for players in search of a league. It also has links to other sites like Patton $, which sells soft­ware to manage your draft from the laptop. Fantasy dweebs will also devour Peter Kreutzer's daily rotis­serie column on ESPNET(www. sportszone.com/mlb)—inside tips straight from the Grapefruit League. Web-challenged rotissari-ans are doomed.

8. INTERNET Find Me

Pc-meter's new sur-vey shows that three of the five most visited Web sites are search en­gines, those handy soft­ware programs that hunt down data. If that's true, e-net has built the Next Big Thing. Search.com (http:// www.search. com) debuts this week as a clearinghouse for 250 top engines. Users can customize an Inter­net search in seconds. A search on the "Finance" page turns up sites about stock value, ticker sym­bols and much more for any publicly traded com­pany. Information democracy may be here at last.

9. TECHNOLOGY Making Faces

FUMIO HARA DIDN'T have an application in mind when he started building his Face Robot. Now that it's done, doc­tors think robots like it could someday assist medical therapists in helping mentally damaged patients recover emotional re­sponses. Hara, of Science University of Tokyo, spent three years and about $95,000 perfecting the machine, which uses silicone for skin and computer-con­trolled aluminum pistons to control facial movement. The robot "sees" through tiny cameras behind its eyeballs and can immediately mimic human expressions like happiness, sadness, anger—and many nuances in between.
