Cell phone can unlock car, start engine
TOKYO – A new Japanese mobile phone will automatically unlock the doors of its owners’ cars and let drivers start their engines without using an ignition key.
The phone, built by Sharp Corp., uses a technology previously developed by Nissan Motor Co. called “Intelligent Key” that allows drivers enter and start their cars without removing their keys from their pockets or bags.
Cars equipped with the system sense when the correct key is nearby, automatically unlocking their car doors, and allow the engine to be started once the key is brought inside the car. Nissan said it has shipped about a million cars with the technology in Japan since 2002.
The new twist on this technology is that it is loaded in a phone. The service will work on the mobile network operated by NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan’s largest mobile operator.

Obama Likeness Found Hanging on College Campus
A likeness of Sen. Barack Obama was found hanging in the George Fox University quad early Tuesday along with graffiti aimed at minority recipients of a scholarship program, the university president told The Oregonian this morning.
President Robin Baker said he plans to discuss the incident with the student body later this morning.
“We are a faith community driven by the teachings of Christ,” said Baker, who has presided over the Christian college for about a year. “We have to express love toward each other so it was a great disappointment that anything like this would happen.”
George Fox University, which is located in Newberg, was founded in 1891 by Quaker pioneers.
